1 00:00:00,920 --> 00:00:02,520 Speaker 1: Hi, this is joelan Victorium. 2 00:00:02,759 --> 00:00:05,560 Speaker 2: Thanks so much for listening to the podcast and thanks 3 00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:08,360 Speaker 2: for supporting the ministry.

We'd love 10 00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:29,960 Speaker 2: to have you be a part of one of our services. 11 00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:32,640 Speaker 2: I let you start with something funny, and I heard 12 00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:35,800 Speaker 2: about this elderly couple. They were sitting on a swing, 13 00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:40,640 Speaker 2: celebrating their sixtieth anniversary and feeling romantic. The husband said 14 00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:43,920 Speaker 2: to his wife, honey, our love is tried and true. 15 00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:47,519 Speaker 2: She had difficulty hearing. Ask him to repeat it. He 16 00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:50,760 Speaker 2: said it louder, I said, our love is tried and true. 17 00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:55,000 Speaker 2: She still couldn't hear him. Said what when you speak up? Frustrated, 18 00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:58,640 Speaker 2: he shouted, I said our love is tried and true. 19 00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:03,440 Speaker 1: She said, well fine, I'm sick of you too say 20 00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:06,280 Speaker 1: it like you mean it. This is my Bible. I 21 00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:07,559 Speaker 1: am what it says. I am. 22 00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:10,360 Speaker 2: I have what it says I have. I can do 23 00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:13,000 Speaker 2: what it says I can do. Today I will be 24 00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:17,000 Speaker 2: taught the word of God. I'll boldly confess my mind 25 00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:20,480 Speaker 2: is alert, my heart is receptive. I will never be 26 00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:25,560 Speaker 2: the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you. I want 27 00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:28,559 Speaker 2: to talk to you today about a thousand times more. 28 00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:32,720 Speaker 2: God's dream for your life is much bigger than your own. 29 00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:35,840 Speaker 2: The places he's going to take you, the doors that 30 00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:38,360 Speaker 2: are going to open, the people you're going to meet, 31 00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:42,880 Speaker 2: are going to far exceed anything you thought. You're listening 32 00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:46,480 Speaker 2: today to my one thousandth message. I didn't think I 33 00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:48,880 Speaker 2: could do one message. I didn't know this was in me. 34 00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:52,840 Speaker 1: What God has for you is going to boggle your mind. 35 00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:56,360 Speaker 2: The favor you're going to step into, the dreams you're 36 00:01:56,360 --> 00:02:00,480 Speaker 2: going to accomplish, the giants you're going to defeat. Moses 37 00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:04,080 Speaker 2: said in Deuteronomy chapter one. May the Lord, God of 38 00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:08,280 Speaker 2: your fathers make you a thousand times more than you are. 39 00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:13,080 Speaker 2: God has a thousand times more blessing for you, a 40 00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:18,280 Speaker 2: thousand times more joy, thousand times more influence, a thousand 41 00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:22,680 Speaker 2: times more resources. That means you have plenty, not only 42 00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:24,960 Speaker 2: to pay off your house, but to pay off your 43 00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:26,200 Speaker 2: family members' houses. 44 00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:30,480 Speaker 1: Thousand times more opportunity. You're not hoping to get a 45 00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:31,080 Speaker 1: good break. 46 00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:35,400 Speaker 2: You have to choose which opportunity is the best. Thousand 47 00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:38,880 Speaker 2: times more energy. You're not dragging through the day tired 48 00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:43,200 Speaker 2: and run down. You're full of vitality, supernatural strength. 49 00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:45,799 Speaker 1: You run and don't get weary. 50 00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:49,239 Speaker 2: Now, the whole key is you have to receive this 51 00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:50,640 Speaker 2: thousand times blessing. 52 00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:53,360 Speaker 1: You have to let it take root in your spirit, 53 00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:54,600 Speaker 1: because in your. 54 00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:57,800 Speaker 2: Mind it'll say there's no way this will never happen 55 00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:00,920 Speaker 2: for me. Joel, I don't have the talent, I don't 56 00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:02,120 Speaker 2: come from the right family. 57 00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:05,799 Speaker 1: I've reached my limits. Tune all that out and get 58 00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:07,000 Speaker 1: in agreement with God. 59 00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:10,800 Speaker 2: One touch of his favor can make you a thousand 60 00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:17,440 Speaker 2: times more. One idea, one contract, one divine connection can catapult. 61 00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:18,840 Speaker 1: You further than you've ever dreamed. 62 00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:23,320 Speaker 2: Imagine what the Israelites thought when they heard a thousand 63 00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:23,960 Speaker 2: times more. 64 00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:26,840 Speaker 1: They were former slaves, they'd been. 65 00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:30,720 Speaker 2: Mistreated and taken advantage of. Now they were wandering in 66 00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:34,640 Speaker 2: the desert, no place to live. I'm sure they thought, Moses, 67 00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:37,680 Speaker 2: you have the wrong people. Maybe that happened for the 68 00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:41,680 Speaker 2: Phaiah and his family, or maybe the royalty in Ethiopia. 69 00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:44,960 Speaker 2: They have influence, but we're stuck out here in the desert. 70 00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:47,840 Speaker 1: God knew everything about. 71 00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:50,320 Speaker 2: Them, he knew what they had been through, he knew 72 00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:53,200 Speaker 2: what they didn't have, he knew how impossible it looked. 73 00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:56,800 Speaker 2: Yet he still told them, get ready, I'm going to 74 00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:59,400 Speaker 2: make you a thousand times more than you are. 75 00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:03,040 Speaker 1: I'm gonna give you houses that you didn't build. You're 76 00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:05,120 Speaker 1: gonna read from vineyards that you didn't plan. 77 00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:09,119 Speaker 2: And there was scarcity out in the desert, just enough 78 00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:12,520 Speaker 2: to survive. But they were coming into a land where 79 00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:15,720 Speaker 2: it took two people to carry the cluster of grapes, 80 00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:20,719 Speaker 2: a land of overflow, abundance, a thousand times more. God 81 00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:25,720 Speaker 2: is not limited by your resources, your position, your background. 82 00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:30,360 Speaker 2: He's bringing you into a wide and spacious place. Now, 83 00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:34,000 Speaker 2: don't talk yourself out of it, talk yourself into it. Lord, 84 00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:38,039 Speaker 2: I receive this thousand times blessing. Lord, thank you for 85 00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:42,760 Speaker 2: a thousand times more influence, a thousand times more resources, 86 00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:47,200 Speaker 2: a thousand times more creativity. Now, Joel, that's kind of 87 00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:50,920 Speaker 2: far out. Yes, we serve a far out God, and 88 00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:55,160 Speaker 2: today is not for ordinary people. This is for radical believers. 89 00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:57,800 Speaker 2: This is for people that'll take the limits off of 90 00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:03,520 Speaker 2: God and believe for the abundantly above and beyond favor 91 00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:06,960 Speaker 2: that God has in store. I've seen this in my 92 00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:09,839 Speaker 2: own life. I didn't think I could get up and minister. 93 00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:13,200 Speaker 2: I told my father for seventeen years that I wasn't 94 00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:16,760 Speaker 2: a pastor. One Sunday he asked me to speak for him, 95 00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:18,360 Speaker 2: just give him a break. 96 00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:19,240 Speaker 1: And I said that I would. 97 00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:22,920 Speaker 2: I sat down to write my first message, and it 98 00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:25,680 Speaker 2: was so painful trying to think of what to say, 99 00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:28,800 Speaker 2: and I got through and thought, thank God, that's over. 100 00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:31,800 Speaker 1: I'll never have to do it again. And it's not 101 00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:33,080 Speaker 1: that I didn't want to. 102 00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:36,400 Speaker 2: I just didn't think I was able, didn't have the training, 103 00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:40,760 Speaker 2: I wasn't dynamic like my father. But when he passed 104 00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:43,559 Speaker 2: that next week, I knew I was supposed to step 105 00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:46,359 Speaker 2: up and pass to the church. And I spoke my 106 00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:50,560 Speaker 2: second message and walked off the platform and thought, said. 107 00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:54,120 Speaker 1: You're done. You have nothing to share next week. Your 108 00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:57,040 Speaker 1: well is dry. And it seemed like the truth. 109 00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:00,480 Speaker 2: But on that next Wednesday, when I say down to 110 00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:03,360 Speaker 2: write my message, much to my surprise. 111 00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:04,720 Speaker 1: Something else came out. 112 00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:08,880 Speaker 2: I did message number three, then Message twenty five, then 113 00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:11,800 Speaker 2: two hundred and forty, then five hundred and sixty, then 114 00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:13,000 Speaker 2: nine hundred and twenty. 115 00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:15,520 Speaker 1: I can tell you today on my one. 116 00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:19,039 Speaker 2: Thousand message that we serve a God who can make 117 00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:23,480 Speaker 2: you a thousand times more than you are. But if 118 00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:26,000 Speaker 2: you'd have told me back when I was behind the 119 00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:29,960 Speaker 2: scenes doing the television production, one day I would be 120 00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:32,920 Speaker 2: a pastor and I would have a thousand messages and 121 00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:36,359 Speaker 2: we would have church in a former basketball arena, I 122 00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:39,039 Speaker 2: would have said, you have the wrong person. There's no 123 00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:42,599 Speaker 2: way that could happen. You don't know where God is 124 00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:46,440 Speaker 2: taking you. Maybe you've only heard what you can't do 125 00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:50,080 Speaker 2: and how you don't measure up or even your own thoughts, 126 00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:50,919 Speaker 2: like with me. 127 00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:52,720 Speaker 1: You don't have what it takes. 128 00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:55,480 Speaker 2: You're not as good as your father, Joel. Just accept 129 00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:58,800 Speaker 2: where you are. Those are all lies to try to 130 00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:02,719 Speaker 2: keep you from the greatness God put in you. Receive 131 00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:06,200 Speaker 2: this into your spirit because you are obedient. 132 00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:07,760 Speaker 1: The Lord, God. 133 00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:10,840 Speaker 2: Of your fathers is making you a thousand times more 134 00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:16,200 Speaker 2: than you are, thousand times more successful, thousand times more influence, 135 00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:18,320 Speaker 2: a thousand times more wisdom. 136 00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:22,680 Speaker 1: We hear that our mind goes till till that's impossible. 137 00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:25,800 Speaker 2: You have to turn your mind off and let this 138 00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:28,920 Speaker 2: take root down in your spirit. This is what faith 139 00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:32,960 Speaker 2: is all about. One Kings, chapter fifteen. There was a 140 00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:36,360 Speaker 2: famine in Israel and the people were struggling to survive. 141 00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:39,800 Speaker 2: God told the prophet Elijah to go to the city 142 00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:42,440 Speaker 2: of Zeriphat, for there was a widow that would take 143 00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:45,520 Speaker 2: care of him. When he arrived, he asked the woman 144 00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:48,600 Speaker 2: to make him something to eat. She said, Sir, I'd 145 00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:51,920 Speaker 2: love to, but all I have is enough flower and 146 00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:55,560 Speaker 2: enough oil to make me and my son one last meal. 147 00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:59,600 Speaker 1: She had already decided they were gonna eat. Then that'd be. 148 00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:03,400 Speaker 2: It was done, And I just said, I understand, but 149 00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:06,840 Speaker 2: please do me a favor and make me a meal first, 150 00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:09,560 Speaker 2: and then you and your son can have what's left over. 151 00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:13,200 Speaker 1: That seems so selfish. She could have said, who do 152 00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:16,320 Speaker 1: you think you are not gonna feed you? We're starving. 153 00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:20,160 Speaker 2: But sometimes God will ask you to do things that 154 00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:21,080 Speaker 2: don't make sense. 155 00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:23,440 Speaker 1: It's a test, Joel. 156 00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:26,120 Speaker 2: Will you speak that first message even though you don't 157 00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:29,040 Speaker 2: feel qualified, or will you forgive. 158 00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:30,880 Speaker 1: That person that doesn't deserve it? 159 00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:33,960 Speaker 2: Will you be good to that neighbor, even when you 160 00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:38,040 Speaker 2: need the funds. This woman had every right to turn 161 00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:40,600 Speaker 2: him down, but she took that step of faith and 162 00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:44,760 Speaker 2: cooked him a meal. First, she noticed in those containers, 163 00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:47,560 Speaker 2: even though she had used the flour and the oil, 164 00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:49,200 Speaker 2: there was still some laughing. 165 00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:53,600 Speaker 1: She thought, that's strange. She made another meal the next day. 166 00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:55,680 Speaker 1: There was still more flowered, more oil. 167 00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:59,120 Speaker 2: When you do things God asks you to do that 168 00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:04,040 Speaker 2: don't make sense, when you obey, when you don't understand, God. 169 00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:05,600 Speaker 1: Will do things that don't make sense. 170 00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:09,720 Speaker 2: The oil and the flower never ran out during the 171 00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:13,480 Speaker 2: whole famine. It's significant that the famine was three and 172 00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:17,600 Speaker 2: a half years. That's over a thousand days. She went 173 00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:20,760 Speaker 2: from only enough for one meal to han over one 174 00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:25,280 Speaker 2: thousand meals. What happened, She came into the thousand times 175 00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:29,920 Speaker 2: more blessing. When you look at your circumstances like this woman, 176 00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:33,160 Speaker 2: you may think I don't have enough. I don't have 177 00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:37,120 Speaker 2: the talent, the strength, the finances. You're looking at it 178 00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:41,160 Speaker 2: in the natural. But we serve a supernatural God. He 179 00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:44,880 Speaker 2: knows how to multiply, how to sustain, how. 180 00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:45,760 Speaker 1: To open doors. 181 00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:49,199 Speaker 2: He can part red seas, he can bring water out 182 00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:52,000 Speaker 2: of a rock. He can take five loaves and feed 183 00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:55,240 Speaker 2: a multitude. He can use a slingshot to bring down 184 00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:58,920 Speaker 2: a giant. He hasn't brought you this far to leave you. 185 00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:05,959 Speaker 2: He has natural provision, supernatural healing, supernatural breakthroughs. If you're 186 00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:09,839 Speaker 2: going to see this thousand times more blessing, it's important 187 00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:13,800 Speaker 2: what voices you listened to. I got my nerve up 188 00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:16,880 Speaker 2: and spoke my first sermon. My father was so proud, 189 00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:20,199 Speaker 2: beaming with joy. I never dreamed that would be the 190 00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:23,040 Speaker 2: last Sunday of his life. He had a heart attack 191 00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:26,199 Speaker 2: and went to be with the Lord. I started speaking 192 00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:31,319 Speaker 2: on the weekends. I was very unsure of myself, nervous, intimidated. 193 00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:35,240 Speaker 1: I knew everyone had come because of my father. Now 194 00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:36,959 Speaker 1: I was up there, and I. 195 00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:40,640 Speaker 2: Didn't have the experience of the training. The third message 196 00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:44,400 Speaker 2: I ever spoken. I was walking through the lobby that 197 00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:48,000 Speaker 2: Sunday after the service, and there were two older ladies 198 00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:50,080 Speaker 2: in front of me talking, and they didn't know I 199 00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:51,200 Speaker 2: was behind them. 200 00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:54,280 Speaker 1: One said he's not as good as his father. 201 00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:57,440 Speaker 2: The other answered, yeah, I don't think the church is 202 00:10:57,440 --> 00:11:01,040 Speaker 2: gonna make it. That was the worst possible thing I 203 00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:04,240 Speaker 2: could have heard. They might as well said he's a loser. 204 00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:05,600 Speaker 2: He should quit right now. 205 00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:09,400 Speaker 1: I was already insecure, wondering if I could do it. 206 00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:11,839 Speaker 1: The enemy is strategic. 207 00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:16,720 Speaker 2: He knows how to plant doubt, discouragement, inferiority at just 208 00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:20,800 Speaker 2: the right time. Often he'll use people. This was a 209 00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:24,920 Speaker 2: critical moment. My destiny hung in the balance. I was 210 00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:27,560 Speaker 2: tempted to believe, then, I'm not really good at this. 211 00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:31,760 Speaker 2: Nobody's gonna listen. It's gonna go downhill. Right when I 212 00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:34,959 Speaker 2: was about to agree with them, something rows up in 213 00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:37,760 Speaker 2: me like a fire, like a holy anger. 214 00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:41,520 Speaker 1: I thought to myself, you don't determine my destiny. You 215 00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:45,199 Speaker 1: didn't call me, you didn't annoint me. I am not 216 00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:48,080 Speaker 1: who you say I am. I am who God says 217 00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:52,040 Speaker 1: I am. I am favored. I am confident people like me. 218 00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:56,000 Speaker 2: I will become who I was created to be. That 219 00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:59,440 Speaker 2: was a destiny moment. I could have shrunk back and 220 00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:02,560 Speaker 2: believe what they said. I would have stopped at message 221 00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:06,400 Speaker 2: number three, nine hundred and ninety seven. Messages would have 222 00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:10,240 Speaker 2: laid dormant, never being spoken, because I listened to the 223 00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:13,800 Speaker 2: wrong voices. Tune out all the negative and get in 224 00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:18,360 Speaker 2: agreement with God. He said a thousand times more. He says, 225 00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:21,720 Speaker 2: you will lend and not borrow. He said he's restoring health, 226 00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:24,560 Speaker 2: bucking to youth. He said, your children are mighty in 227 00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:27,800 Speaker 2: the land. He said, your latter days will be better 228 00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:32,000 Speaker 2: than your former day. Now, don't let wrong voices talk 229 00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:32,680 Speaker 2: you out of it. 230 00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:35,600 Speaker 1: Enemy would love to keep you from your. 231 00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:40,120 Speaker 2: Thousand times more, and he'll use discouragement sometimes people that 232 00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:42,600 Speaker 2: try to push you down. Man, you'll never get well. 233 00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:45,840 Speaker 2: I saw the medical report. You can't break that addiction. 234 00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:47,080 Speaker 1: You've had it for so long. 235 00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:49,960 Speaker 2: You can't lead your company, you don't have the talent. 236 00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:53,120 Speaker 2: He wouldn't be talking to you if he didn't know 237 00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:55,000 Speaker 2: a thousand times more is coming. 238 00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:58,360 Speaker 1: God will give you grace for every season. 239 00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:02,400 Speaker 2: Like with me, you'll feel that fire that knowing that 240 00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:05,679 Speaker 2: what's being said is not your destiny. That's when you 241 00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:07,760 Speaker 2: have to rise up and say, no, thanks, I am 242 00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:08,959 Speaker 2: not who you say I am. 243 00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:10,800 Speaker 1: I am who God says I am. 244 00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:14,319 Speaker 2: This is what my mother did when she was diagnosed 245 00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:17,640 Speaker 2: with terminal liver cancer back in nineteen eighty one and 246 00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:19,440 Speaker 2: given a few weeks to live. 247 00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:22,360 Speaker 1: She was very sick, weighed eighty nine pounds. 248 00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:25,880 Speaker 2: Medically speaking, there was nothing more that could be done. 249 00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:30,080 Speaker 1: Voices whispered in the night. You can be buried in 250 00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:31,680 Speaker 1: that new red dress. 251 00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:36,120 Speaker 2: She could have been depressed, got around defeated all throughout 252 00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:38,800 Speaker 2: the day. I would hear my mother quoting scriptures. I 253 00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:41,800 Speaker 2: will live and not die by his stripes. I am 254 00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:46,040 Speaker 2: healed with long life. God will satisfy me. It didn't 255 00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:47,320 Speaker 2: happen overnight. 256 00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:49,880 Speaker 1: But by little my mother got better and better. It 257 00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:51,760 Speaker 1: was forty three years ago. 258 00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:55,080 Speaker 2: One report said a few weeks to live, but my 259 00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:59,760 Speaker 2: mother came into that thousand times more blessing forty three years. 260 00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:03,960 Speaker 2: It is over fifteen thousand days. God has some of 261 00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:05,640 Speaker 2: these thousand times. 262 00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:05,960 Speaker 1: More for you. 263 00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:09,520 Speaker 2: The medical report may say just a little while, but 264 00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:12,640 Speaker 2: God has the final sayings. Why don't you believe for 265 00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:16,320 Speaker 2: a thousand times more? Those ladies said, I was done 266 00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:20,120 Speaker 2: at message number three, But a thousand messages later, I'm 267 00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:21,080 Speaker 2: still going strong. 268 00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:26,480 Speaker 1: But often we look at the medical report and what 269 00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:29,240 Speaker 1: we don't have, and man, these ladies are not for me. 270 00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:33,560 Speaker 2: But when you come into that thousand times blessing, supernatural 271 00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:37,800 Speaker 2: things happen, things that you can't explain. In the scripture, 272 00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:42,160 Speaker 2: Sampson killed a thousand enemies with the jawbone of a donkey, 273 00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:45,600 Speaker 2: not a sword, not a rifle, not a slingshot. But 274 00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:48,560 Speaker 2: with the jawbone, how could that be? He had the 275 00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:53,080 Speaker 2: thousand times more blessing. With this blessing, you will defeat 276 00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:56,520 Speaker 2: giants that are much bigger. You will overcome the cancer, 277 00:14:56,880 --> 00:15:02,120 Speaker 2: the addiction, the bad childhood. You'll accompani dreams that seemed impossible. 278 00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:03,960 Speaker 1: There's a divine. 279 00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:07,160 Speaker 2: Empowerment on you to do things that seem far over 280 00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:11,040 Speaker 2: your head. This scripture talks about different levels of favor 281 00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:16,240 Speaker 2: and anointing. Elisha received a double portion of Elijah's anointing. 282 00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:17,520 Speaker 1: Double is great. 283 00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:21,000 Speaker 2: Talks about when you sow accede, you can receive a 284 00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:24,120 Speaker 2: thirtyfold return, sixtyfold. 285 00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:26,560 Speaker 1: Even one hundredfold. One hundred times is amazing. 286 00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:30,040 Speaker 2: But when God says I'm gonna make you a thousand 287 00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:33,560 Speaker 2: times more than you are, he's talking about things that 288 00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:37,520 Speaker 2: you can't imagine, things that you didn't see coming. If 289 00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:40,920 Speaker 2: you're going to receive this thousand times more, there has 290 00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:44,080 Speaker 2: to be an expectancy, a faith that says, God, I 291 00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:47,960 Speaker 2: believe that you have greater things for me. God gave 292 00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:51,680 Speaker 2: David an incredible promise that his family would always be 293 00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:54,200 Speaker 2: on the throne and that they would have a lasting 294 00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:58,360 Speaker 2: dynasty was more than David could imagine. He said in 295 00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:01,200 Speaker 2: second Samuel seven, God, who am I. 296 00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:02,240 Speaker 1: That you would do this? 297 00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:06,000 Speaker 2: I'm just a shepherd. I come from an ordinary family. 298 00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:09,640 Speaker 2: He was so overwhelmed and so amazed trying to take 299 00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:12,400 Speaker 2: it all in. He could have stopped there and thought, 300 00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:15,720 Speaker 2: it seems impossible. I don't see how that could happen. 301 00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:19,680 Speaker 2: But David understood that he had to get in agreement 302 00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:23,320 Speaker 2: with God. The only promises that will come to pass 303 00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:26,840 Speaker 2: in your life are the promises that you let take root. 304 00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:31,400 Speaker 2: David said in verse twenty five, Lord God of Israel, 305 00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:34,960 Speaker 2: you have declared this over me, and I am bold 306 00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:39,080 Speaker 2: enough to pray it. God, do what you promised concerning 307 00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:43,520 Speaker 2: my family. He was saying, this seems far out, but God, 308 00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:45,600 Speaker 2: since you said it, I'm in agreement. 309 00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:46,640 Speaker 1: Let it happen. 310 00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:50,200 Speaker 2: God is saying to you today, I'm going to make 311 00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:53,440 Speaker 2: you a thousand times more than you are. I'm going 312 00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:56,520 Speaker 2: to open new doors. I'm going to bring new people. 313 00:16:57,000 --> 00:17:00,160 Speaker 2: You're going to discover gifts you didn't know were in you. 314 00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:04,840 Speaker 2: You're gonna step into favor, leadership, influence that you've never imagined. 315 00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:08,560 Speaker 2: Now you can discount this. I don't see how Joel 316 00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:13,280 Speaker 2: looks impossible. You don't know my background. David was a shepherd. 317 00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:17,439 Speaker 2: The Israelites were former slaves. Why don't you do like 318 00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:21,120 Speaker 2: David and say, God, let what you have spoken over my. 319 00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:25,880 Speaker 1: Life come to pass. I'll received the thousand times more blessing. 320 00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:29,879 Speaker 2: You don't have to figure out how. The how is 321 00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:32,760 Speaker 2: not up to you. All you have to do is believe. 322 00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:35,960 Speaker 1: That's when the creator of the universe goes to work. 323 00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:38,680 Speaker 1: Moses was in the desert one time. 324 00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:43,080 Speaker 2: The Israelites started complaining about not having any meat to eat. 325 00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:47,160 Speaker 2: Had manna every morning. It's something like bread. But they 326 00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:50,440 Speaker 2: were tired of that. They said, Moses, why'd you bring 327 00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:53,240 Speaker 2: us out here in the desert to die. We could 328 00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:56,360 Speaker 2: have stayed in Egypt as slaves, but at least we'd 329 00:17:56,359 --> 00:17:59,680 Speaker 2: had some good food. God was so fed up with them, 330 00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:03,280 Speaker 2: he told Moses, tell the people, I'm going to give 331 00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:06,520 Speaker 2: them meat for a whole month. They were out in 332 00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:10,639 Speaker 2: the middle of the desert. Moses said, God, that's not possible. 333 00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:13,720 Speaker 2: Even if we butchered all of our flocks and all 334 00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:16,080 Speaker 2: of our herds, we wouldn't have that much meat. 335 00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:17,680 Speaker 1: I love the way. 336 00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:21,919 Speaker 2: God answered back. He said, Moses, when did I become weak? 337 00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:25,720 Speaker 2: He was saying, have you forgotten who I am? The 338 00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:30,479 Speaker 2: all powerful creator of the universe. Sometimes we look at 339 00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:33,040 Speaker 2: our situations think a thousand times more? 340 00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:35,000 Speaker 1: How could that be possible? 341 00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:38,520 Speaker 2: Here's where I work, Here's what I make, Here's the 342 00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:42,199 Speaker 2: family I come from. We're telling God all the reasons 343 00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:43,240 Speaker 2: it can't happen. 344 00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:46,399 Speaker 1: God is saying, when did I become weak? 345 00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:50,320 Speaker 2: I spoke worlds into existence. I shut the mouths of 346 00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:54,080 Speaker 2: hungry lions. I gave Sarah a baby at ninety years old. 347 00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:56,200 Speaker 2: I opened prison doors. 348 00:18:55,880 --> 00:19:00,199 Speaker 1: For Paul and Silence. I healed Joel's mother of terminal cancer. 349 00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:02,720 Speaker 2: I changed a council member's mind and gave you the 350 00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:06,879 Speaker 2: Compact Center. When God says I'm gonna make you a 351 00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:10,560 Speaker 2: thousand times more, he's not scratching his head trying to 352 00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:13,800 Speaker 2: figure out how He's not checking with your bank account, 353 00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:15,280 Speaker 2: your education, the. 354 00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:18,359 Speaker 1: Family you came from. This is not dependent on what 355 00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:20,840 Speaker 1: you have. It's dependent on what he has. 356 00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:25,159 Speaker 2: All he needs from us is to obey and to 357 00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:26,600 Speaker 2: take the limits off of him. 358 00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:27,320 Speaker 1: Lord. 359 00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:31,440 Speaker 2: I'm in agreement with you a thousand times more. He's 360 00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:34,560 Speaker 2: two million people out in the desert. God shifted the 361 00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:38,720 Speaker 2: winds and caused a huge flock of quall to fly 362 00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:42,639 Speaker 2: into the camp. The scripture says no one gathered less 363 00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:44,359 Speaker 2: than fifty bushels of quall. 364 00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:46,840 Speaker 1: They had meet for over a mile. 365 00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:51,399 Speaker 2: What's interesting is quall normally wouldn't fly that far away 366 00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:51,960 Speaker 2: from the water. 367 00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:54,080 Speaker 1: They would stay close to the shore. 368 00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:58,159 Speaker 2: But when the wind shifted, they were so strong that 369 00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:02,120 Speaker 2: it blew them into the Israelite s camp. One shift 370 00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:05,840 Speaker 2: and you'll see a thousand times more. One shift and 371 00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:09,000 Speaker 2: the quell will come looking for you. They didn't have 372 00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:12,240 Speaker 2: to go find it, go hunt. God brought the provision 373 00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:15,840 Speaker 2: to them. You don't have to make this happen, force 374 00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:20,119 Speaker 2: doors to open, manipulate people. No, just keep honoring God 375 00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:23,800 Speaker 2: and he'll bring the thousand times more. He'll make things 376 00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:28,240 Speaker 2: happen that you couldn't make happen. Moses said, the Lord, 377 00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:31,520 Speaker 2: God of your fathers, make you a thousand times more 378 00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:36,239 Speaker 2: than you are. This is implying a generational blessing the 379 00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:39,600 Speaker 2: God of your fathers. There is favor you're going to 380 00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:42,960 Speaker 2: see because of those that went before you in your 381 00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:44,520 Speaker 2: family line. 382 00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:47,280 Speaker 1: You may have never met them, but they honored God. 383 00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:51,640 Speaker 2: They prayed, they served, they helped others, but. 384 00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:53,879 Speaker 1: They didn't see the fullness of what they should have. 385 00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:59,119 Speaker 2: Some were overlooked and mistreated, not given what they deserved. 386 00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:02,920 Speaker 2: But they didn't complained. They weren't bitter. They just kept 387 00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:07,040 Speaker 2: doing the right thing. God is keeping the records. Part 388 00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:11,040 Speaker 2: of this thousand times more is payback for what should 389 00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:14,360 Speaker 2: have been your families. There are blessings that have been 390 00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:18,359 Speaker 2: stored up because of their faithfulness. Your relatives paid the 391 00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:21,440 Speaker 2: price for you to step into houses you didn't build, 392 00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:25,680 Speaker 2: vineyards that you didn't plan. As I speak my thousand 393 00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:30,000 Speaker 2: message today, I realized I didn't get here by myself. 394 00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:33,280 Speaker 2: I could look back and see the faithfulness of those 395 00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:37,320 Speaker 2: that went before me. My parents pastored here for forty years. 396 00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:41,960 Speaker 2: I'm reaping seeds that they've suwn. My grandfather worked at 397 00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:46,320 Speaker 2: a refinery in Baytown for decades, never missed a day work. 398 00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:49,280 Speaker 2: When he retired, he'd come down to the church and 399 00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:50,200 Speaker 2: do repairs. 400 00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:53,760 Speaker 1: I'd see him under the portable buildings, fixing the plumbing. 401 00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:57,480 Speaker 1: He was an orphan growing up. Nobody wanted him. 402 00:21:57,720 --> 00:22:02,040 Speaker 2: Passed from house to house but to his grandchildren, his 403 00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:06,560 Speaker 2: great grandchildren, we're seeing favor because of him. God is 404 00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:11,120 Speaker 2: releasing some of those stored up blessings. As a little boy, 405 00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:14,520 Speaker 2: i'd travel with my family during the summer to these 406 00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:18,040 Speaker 2: conferences where my father would speak. I would see him 407 00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:20,800 Speaker 2: up there in front of a couple thousand people, ministringing. 408 00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:25,119 Speaker 2: Everyone loved my dad. He was so strong and inspirational. 409 00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:27,920 Speaker 2: I would watch as a little boy and think, look 410 00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:31,240 Speaker 2: at my father, how can he do that? He's amazing. 411 00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:34,800 Speaker 2: I'd beam with joy in my mind. He was so 412 00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:38,560 Speaker 2: far above anything I could ever become, and I was 413 00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:42,639 Speaker 2: fine with that. I loved celebrating my father, whose seventeen 414 00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:46,359 Speaker 2: years that I worked behind the scenes. My goal was 415 00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:48,760 Speaker 2: to make him look good, help him to shine. 416 00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:51,520 Speaker 1: But you don't know what God has put in you. 417 00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:54,199 Speaker 2: I was in awe that he could speak to a 418 00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:57,919 Speaker 2: couple thousand were today through the media, I speak to 419 00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:00,240 Speaker 2: a thousand times more every day. 420 00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:04,800 Speaker 1: I never dreamed I would be here honor my father today. 421 00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:08,200 Speaker 1: I wore his shoes. These are the shoes that. 422 00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:14,439 Speaker 2: Victoria and I balk him thirty seven years ago. He 423 00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:17,679 Speaker 2: wore them for many years, and when he passed, I 424 00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:20,359 Speaker 2: wore them that first year that I ministered. 425 00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:21,720 Speaker 1: In nineteen ninety nine. 426 00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:25,879 Speaker 2: Today, one thousand messages later, I can say the God 427 00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:26,240 Speaker 2: of my. 428 00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:28,160 Speaker 1: Father's is a faithful god. 429 00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:32,000 Speaker 2: He's taken me where I've never dreamed and brought things 430 00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:32,439 Speaker 2: out of me. 431 00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:36,359 Speaker 1: I didn't know I had like that widow with the meal. 432 00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:39,240 Speaker 1: Every week. These messages just keep coming. 433 00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:42,720 Speaker 2: When my father wrote a book, it would sell about 434 00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:46,399 Speaker 2: ten thousand copies. I never thought I could write a book. 435 00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:49,840 Speaker 2: I barely passed the English in high school. Victoria was 436 00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:51,080 Speaker 2: always encouraged. 437 00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:53,159 Speaker 1: Me to write woman. I thought, man, what would I say? 438 00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:56,600 Speaker 1: Eventually I wrote my first one, Your Best Life. Now 439 00:23:57,040 --> 00:24:01,800 Speaker 1: it sold ten million copies, in times more than my father. 440 00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:04,320 Speaker 1: And I'm not here to brag on me. 441 00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:08,320 Speaker 2: I'm bragging on the greatness of our God. I want 442 00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:11,360 Speaker 2: to light a new fire in you to know that 443 00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:15,000 Speaker 2: God has greater things. I can tell you first hand 444 00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:17,440 Speaker 2: he has a thousand times. 445 00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:19,679 Speaker 1: More for you. Will you receive it? 446 00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:25,120 Speaker 2: Will you start expecting, believing, praying bold prayers. I get 447 00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:28,240 Speaker 2: up every morning and I still think, how did this happen? 448 00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:31,640 Speaker 1: I didn't know this was in me. Who knows where 449 00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:32,640 Speaker 1: God is taking you? 450 00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:36,600 Speaker 2: It's not depending on your talent, your background, who you know. 451 00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:41,840 Speaker 2: Keep your heart pure before God, walk humbly before him. 452 00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:44,680 Speaker 2: Let go of things you know are holding your back. 453 00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:50,879 Speaker 2: Compromise wrong people, lack of integrity. Your destiny is too important. 454 00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:54,399 Speaker 2: God is looking for people he can trust with a 455 00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:55,600 Speaker 2: thousand times more. 456 00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:59,159 Speaker 1: Not perfect people, but people that have a heart to 457 00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:00,360 Speaker 1: please him. 458 00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:04,120 Speaker 2: I haven't worn these shoes in twenty four years. One 459 00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:07,240 Speaker 2: thing I've noticed this time is they don't. 460 00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:07,960 Speaker 1: Fit me anymore. 461 00:25:09,119 --> 00:25:12,119 Speaker 2: Either the leather has shrunk up or my feet have grown, 462 00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:16,760 Speaker 2: but they're not comfortable. What I've come to understand is 463 00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:18,040 Speaker 2: They're not supposed to fit. 464 00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:21,840 Speaker 1: What God has for you is greater than those that 465 00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:22,719 Speaker 1: went before you. 466 00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:28,960 Speaker 2: Honor them, show them respect, but don't settle where they were. 467 00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:33,720 Speaker 2: God is a progressive god. He wants every generation to increase. 468 00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:37,160 Speaker 2: Your parents, your family, they may have done well, but 469 00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:39,679 Speaker 2: the God of your father's is going to make you 470 00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:43,159 Speaker 2: a thousand times more than you are. Get ready for 471 00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:46,720 Speaker 2: something that you haven't seen. Favor you didn't deserve. 472 00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:50,280 Speaker 1: Good breaks that finds you quell. Coming into the. 473 00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:54,879 Speaker 2: Camp, God has some explosive blessings, blessings that will catapult 474 00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:55,440 Speaker 2: you ahead. 475 00:25:56,440 --> 00:25:59,320 Speaker 1: Let me ask you. Have you ever prayed this prayer? 476 00:25:59,800 --> 00:26:02,680 Speaker 2: God, God, make me a thousand times more than I am. 477 00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:05,680 Speaker 2: That's not being selfish, that's getting in. 478 00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:06,840 Speaker 1: Agreement with God. 479 00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:10,600 Speaker 2: Don't go through life with a little vision thinking you've 480 00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:14,520 Speaker 2: reached your limits. Try a different approach every morning. Father, 481 00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:18,320 Speaker 2: thank you for a thousand times more. That's your faith 482 00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:20,840 Speaker 2: being released. That's what allows God to. 483 00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:22,800 Speaker 1: Exceed your expectations. 484 00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:26,520 Speaker 2: Now, on my one thousandth message, I want to declare 485 00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:30,480 Speaker 2: this over you receive it into your spirit.

And if you receive it, 491 00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:54,639 Speaker 2: can you say amen?

Just hey, Lord Jesus, I 494 00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:03,160 Speaker 1: repent of my sins. 495 00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:07,440 Speaker 2: Come into my heart. I make you my Lord and savior. 496 00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:10,800 Speaker 2: If you prayed that simple prayer, we believe you got 497 00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:13,879 Speaker 2: born again.

You can text 499 00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:19,119 Speaker 2: the number on the screen or go to the website. 500 00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:21,720 Speaker 2: But I hope you'll get into a good Bible based 501 00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:24,080 Speaker 2: church and keep God first place. 502 00:27:25,359 --> 00:27:28,199 Speaker 3: Sometimes the stresses of life can feel like you're just 503 00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:32,639 Speaker 3: getting by. God wants to bless us, But how do 504 00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:35,960 Speaker 3: you move from barely enough to just enough to more 505 00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:36,520 Speaker 3: than enough. 506 00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:40,800 Speaker 2: We all face difficulties and people that are hard to 507 00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:44,160 Speaker 2: deal with.
