1
00:00:01,120 --> 00:00:02,960
Speaker 1: Hey, thanks again for being with us today.

Speaker 2: I hope you'll come out. These are the finest people

12
00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:31,280
Speaker 2: in all of Houston, Texas right here. Come out and

13
00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:33,040
Speaker 2: be a part of one of our services. We'll make

14
00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:35,560
Speaker 2: you feel right at home. Thanks for tuning in, Thanks

15
00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:38,080
Speaker 2: for coming out. I like to start with something funny

16
00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:40,839
Speaker 2: each week, and I heard about these three sons. They

17
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:43,760
Speaker 2: left home, went out and prospered, and they got back

18
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:47,400
Speaker 2: together to discuss the gifts that they gave their elderly mother.

19
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:51,040
Speaker 2: The first said, I built mother a big house. The

20
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:54,960
Speaker 2: second said, I got her a fancy car. The third said,

21
00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:57,880
Speaker 2: since I know mother loves to read the Bible, but

22
00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:01,720
Speaker 2: she can barely see. Now got her a specially trained

23
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:03,040
Speaker 2: parrot that can.

24
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:05,920
Speaker 1: Quote the entire Bible. In a few days, they got.

25
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:08,280
Speaker 2: A letter from their mom said, Milton, the house you

26
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:11,120
Speaker 2: built me was way too big. Gerald, the car you

27
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:14,960
Speaker 2: bought me was way too small. But my dearest Donald,

28
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:17,120
Speaker 2: your simple gift was my favorite.

29
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:22,400
Speaker 1: The chicken was delicious. All right, Hold up your Bible.

30
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:25,399
Speaker 2: Say it like you mean it. This is my Bible.

31
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:28,320
Speaker 2: I am what it says I am. I have what

32
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:30,920
Speaker 2: it says I have. I can do what it says

33
00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:33,720
Speaker 2: I can do. Today I will be taught the word

34
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:38,039
Speaker 2: of God. I boldly confess. My mind is alert, my

35
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:42,640
Speaker 2: heart is receptive. I will never be the same. In Jesus' name,

36
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:46,360
Speaker 2: God bless you. I want to talk to you today

37
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:51,280
Speaker 2: about believing for a supernatural year. So often we get

38
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:54,960
Speaker 2: limited in our thinking. We don't think we'll ever accomplish

39
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 2: our dreams. We don't have the talent, the connections, the funds.

40
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 2: We don't think a marriage could ever be restored. There's

41
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:05,320
Speaker 2: too much water under the bridge. Or maybe we don't

42
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:07,640
Speaker 2: think we'll ever get out of debt. We're so far

43
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:10,840
Speaker 2: down in the hole. But the problem is we're just

44
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 2: looking at it in the natural. We're looking at it

45
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:18,160
Speaker 2: from a limited perspective. We have to realize God is

46
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:22,520
Speaker 2: a supernatural god, and just because we don't see a

47
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:26,359
Speaker 2: way doesn't mean that God doesn't have a way. Well,

48
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:28,520
Speaker 2: you say, Joel, if I make this same income the

49
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:30,680
Speaker 2: rest of my life, I won't get out of debt

50
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:33,639
Speaker 2: until I'm one hundred and twenty two years old. Yes,

51
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:37,919
Speaker 2: but you're ruling out supernatural increase. God can bring one

52
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:40,840
Speaker 2: opportunity across your path that will thrust you to a

53
00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:45,120
Speaker 2: new level. He has explosive blessings that can blast you

54
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:48,520
Speaker 2: out of debt and into abundance. Well, I don't think

55
00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:51,400
Speaker 2: i'll ever get well. You should see what the medical

56
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:54,960
Speaker 2: report says about me. No, that may be true according

57
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:58,400
Speaker 2: to medical science. But we have another report, and it

58
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:00,040
Speaker 2: says you will live.

59
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:00,760
Speaker 1: And not die.

60
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:05,600
Speaker 2: God is restoring health unto you. The question is whose

61
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:10,480
Speaker 2: report will you believe? With men, it may be impossible,

62
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:14,600
Speaker 2: but with God all things are possible. Some of you today,

63
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:18,079
Speaker 2: you're planning on having an average year, but God's already

64
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:21,919
Speaker 2: lined up an extraordinary year. You're planning on getting by,

65
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:26,079
Speaker 2: but God's planning on abundance. He's planning on overflowing. You're

66
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:29,120
Speaker 2: thinking if I can just survive, but God is saying

67
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:32,600
Speaker 2: it's time to thrive. You've got to get in agreement

68
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:36,960
Speaker 2: with God. God has supernatural favor in store for every

69
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:43,800
Speaker 2: one of you. He has supernatural opportunities, supernatural healing, supernatural restoration.

70
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:47,240
Speaker 1: God wants to do unusual things in your life.

71
00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:50,760
Speaker 2: You need to have an expectancy down in here and

72
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:54,040
Speaker 2: excitement in your spirit. This is not going to be

73
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:56,760
Speaker 2: an average year. It's not going to be a mediocre year.

74
00:03:57,120 --> 00:04:00,920
Speaker 2: It's going to be a supernatural year where you see

75
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:04,440
Speaker 2: dreams come to pass, a year where you discover talent

76
00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:07,480
Speaker 2: that you didn't even know you had. A year where

77
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:10,920
Speaker 2: you get stronger and healthier. It's gonna be a year

78
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:12,320
Speaker 2: where we look back and say.

79
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:14,760
Speaker 1: Wow, God outdid himself this year.

80
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:19,039
Speaker 2: When you hear this truth, when God tries to plant

81
00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:22,560
Speaker 2: a new seed a promise in your heart, three words

82
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:26,120
Speaker 2: you need to respond with. Don't complicate it. Don't try

83
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:28,360
Speaker 2: to figure out all the reasons why it's not gonna

84
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:29,240
Speaker 2: happen for you.

85
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:31,840
Speaker 1: No, just three simple words. Lord.

86
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:35,560
Speaker 2: I believe you may be sick, but God says you're

87
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:36,320
Speaker 2: gonna be well.

88
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:38,520
Speaker 1: Lord, I believe you.

89
00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 2: May be in debt, but God says you're coming out.

90
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:44,320
Speaker 2: You're coming into overflow. You're gonna lend and not borrow.

91
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:46,760
Speaker 1: Lord. I believe the.

92
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:50,080
Speaker 2: Economy may be down, but God says you're going to

93
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:56,360
Speaker 2: see supernatural increase, supernatural promotion, explosive blessings. Well, Joel, I

94
00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:58,960
Speaker 2: think you've got the wrong message. I don't see how

95
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 2: it could be blessed. This no zip that up. Get

96
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:05,440
Speaker 2: in agreement with God. Let the seed take root. God

97
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:09,239
Speaker 2: is saying, this is your year for far and beyond favor.

98
00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:13,240
Speaker 2: This is your year to see the fulfillment of your dreams.

99
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:16,479
Speaker 2: It's your year for supernatural opportunities.

100
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 1: You may not see how it could happen, but that's okay.

101
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:24,080
Speaker 2: God has a thousand different ways to bring your dreams

102
00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:29,640
Speaker 2: to pass. We think natural, God thinks supernatural. The medical

103
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:33,320
Speaker 2: report may not look good, but understand God is not

104
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:39,000
Speaker 2: limited by the laws of medicine. His power supersedes natural laws.

105
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:43,080
Speaker 2: In fact, one time in the Old Testament, God simply

106
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:48,000
Speaker 2: multiplied the sound of four men's footsteps and caused them

107
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:52,120
Speaker 2: to sound like a mighty army. When their enemies heard it,

108
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:56,719
Speaker 2: they took off running thousands of people, thousands of troops

109
00:05:57,040 --> 00:06:00,840
Speaker 2: running for their lives, scared to death, thinking they were

110
00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:03,880
Speaker 2: being attacked by a massive army, when in fact it

111
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:07,520
Speaker 2: was just four people. Friends, God can make you seem

112
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:10,159
Speaker 2: bigger than you really are. He can make you look

113
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:14,920
Speaker 2: more powerful. He knows how to multiply your influence, multiply

114
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:20,159
Speaker 2: your strength, multiply your talent, multiply your income. You don't

115
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:22,600
Speaker 2: have to figure all this out. All you have to

116
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:26,360
Speaker 2: do is believe. And if you will release your faith

117
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:29,719
Speaker 2: for a supernatural year, that means you get up each

118
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:34,040
Speaker 2: day expecting God's far and beyond favor, then you're going

119
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:36,760
Speaker 2: to see God show up and do amazing things in

120
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:40,200
Speaker 2: your life. I heard about this lady. Her church was

121
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:44,240
Speaker 2: in a building program. One Sunday, the pastor announced how

122
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:46,720
Speaker 2: it was going to cost two million dollars.

123
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:47,920
Speaker 1: To finish the project.

124
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:51,599
Speaker 2: He was encouraging the congregation, just challenging them to do

125
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:55,919
Speaker 2: their best, and in passing, he said, if God were

126
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:58,520
Speaker 2: to give you the funds to pay off this project,

127
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:00,599
Speaker 2: how many of you would do it? In other words,

128
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:03,400
Speaker 2: there's no pressure you can't give if you don't have it.

129
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:07,240
Speaker 2: But if God were to supernaturally provide, would you make

130
00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:11,040
Speaker 2: a commitment to give This lady raised her hand well.

131
00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:13,960
Speaker 2: Several days later, she got a call from a friend.

132
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:17,760
Speaker 2: This friend had just won a major settlement in a

133
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:21,680
Speaker 2: legal matter. The friend said, I just feel like I'm

134
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:25,040
Speaker 2: supposed to give you two million dollars. The lady was

135
00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:27,880
Speaker 2: so excited, she was overjoyed. She said, you are an

136
00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:31,080
Speaker 2: answer to prayer. I know exactly what I'm gonna do

137
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:33,040
Speaker 2: with those funds. I'm gonna give it to my church

138
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:36,520
Speaker 2: to help finish that project. A few days later, the

139
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:39,360
Speaker 2: same friend called back. She said, you know, I really

140
00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:42,560
Speaker 2: feel like I'm supposed to give you two million dollars.

141
00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:45,280
Speaker 2: So if you're gonna give those funds away, then I'm

142
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:50,480
Speaker 2: gonna give you an additional two million for yourself. A

143
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:54,920
Speaker 2: few weeks later, the attorneys of this lady that won

144
00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:57,880
Speaker 2: the huge settlement. They called her, said, we got good news.

145
00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:01,280
Speaker 2: The judge just ruled again in a favor. The other

146
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:04,680
Speaker 2: side has to pay penalties and interest. That means you're

147
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:07,640
Speaker 2: going to receive an additional four million dollars than we

148
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:12,520
Speaker 2: originally told you. That's far and beyond favor. That's God

149
00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:15,880
Speaker 2: out doing himself when it was all said and done,

150
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:19,000
Speaker 2: the friend God blessed, the church got paid off, and

151
00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:22,360
Speaker 2: the lady was not out one single penny. But notice

152
00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:26,720
Speaker 2: it all started when this lady dared to believe.

153
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:27,960
Speaker 1: For supernatural increase.

154
00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:31,360
Speaker 2: When the pastor said, if God gave it to you,

155
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:33,760
Speaker 2: will you give it? She could have thought, oh, I

156
00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:36,199
Speaker 2: don't need to raise my hand. I never get any

157
00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:38,800
Speaker 2: good breaks. That'll never happen for me. No, she was

158
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:42,920
Speaker 2: bold as an act of faith. She said, Lord, I believe.

159
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:46,880
Speaker 2: She was saying, in effect, I believe in supernatural increase.

160
00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:50,360
Speaker 1: I know my job is not my source. God is

161
00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:53,920
Speaker 1: my source. He is Jehovah, Jirah, the Lord, my provider.

162
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:54,959
Speaker 1: He owns it all.

163
00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:58,600
Speaker 2: When you put your faith out there like that, that's

164
00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:00,480
Speaker 2: what allows God to show up.

165
00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:02,440
Speaker 1: And do amazing things in your lives.

166
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:14,240
Speaker 2: I remember growing up, my mother always wanted a swimming pool.

167
00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:17,920
Speaker 2: She was constantly talking to my father about it, but

168
00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:21,240
Speaker 2: my dad was totally against having a pool. He said, Dody,

169
00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:24,800
Speaker 2: they're too expensive and too much upkeep, and we don't

170
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:27,199
Speaker 2: have the time nor the money. I'll get you something else,

171
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:30,080
Speaker 2: but not a swimming pool. Well he might as well

172
00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:33,880
Speaker 2: been talking to a tree. Dad, no more, phased my mother.

173
00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:36,320
Speaker 2: She would go around the house and one day we're

174
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:39,000
Speaker 2: gonna have a pool. It is gonna be so fun.

175
00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:40,720
Speaker 2: I can't wait to get out there in the water.

176
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:43,439
Speaker 2: My dad would look at her like, woman, what are

177
00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:45,880
Speaker 2: you talking about. We are not going to get a

178
00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:49,439
Speaker 2: swimming pool. But month after month, even the year after year,

179
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:52,680
Speaker 2: my mother would go around just thanking God for his goodness,

180
00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:55,800
Speaker 2: thanking God that he was lining up the right people,

181
00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:59,800
Speaker 2: the right opportunities. She was believing for it. My dad

182
00:09:59,880 --> 00:10:03,080
Speaker 2: was believing against it. But down in her heart she

183
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:06,240
Speaker 2: had a confidence, a knowing that one day she would

184
00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:09,000
Speaker 2: have that pool. And every several weeks she would ask

185
00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:11,800
Speaker 2: my father about it. John, have you thought any more

186
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:15,200
Speaker 2: about our swimming pool? He would say, doty, I don't

187
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:18,000
Speaker 2: have to think anymore. I've told you a thousand times

188
00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:19,760
Speaker 2: we are not getting a swimming pool.

189
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:21,400
Speaker 1: In one ear and out the other.

190
00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:24,640
Speaker 2: One day my father saw my mother out in the

191
00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:29,559
Speaker 2: backyard with a tape measure marking things all. He went

192
00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:31,960
Speaker 2: out and said, Dody, what are you doing. She said,

193
00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:34,120
Speaker 2: I'm just getting an idea where we're gonna put our

194
00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:38,280
Speaker 2: new swimming pool. He thought, this woman will not give

195
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:42,840
Speaker 2: up about six months later, a couple showed up at church.

196
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:46,400
Speaker 2: They were from another state. After the service, they asked

197
00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:49,720
Speaker 2: to speak to my parents. The man said, we build

198
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:53,240
Speaker 2: swimming pools. We own a large company, and we flew

199
00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:56,079
Speaker 2: all this way just to see if we could give

200
00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:57,360
Speaker 2: you a swimming pool.

201
00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:00,320
Speaker 1: My dad nearly passed out.

202
00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:04,800
Speaker 2: My mother took him by the arm and said, we

203
00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:10,120
Speaker 2: need to talk. Needless to say, several months later we

204
00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:13,160
Speaker 2: had a beautiful swimming pool in the ground, right where

205
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:18,679
Speaker 2: my mother had laid it out. I'll never forget the

206
00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:21,679
Speaker 2: first time that we ever swam in it, us kids.

207
00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:25,160
Speaker 2: We were so excited we ran and jumped in. My

208
00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:27,240
Speaker 2: mother got in a few minutes.

209
00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:29,480
Speaker 1: Here came my father in his swim trunks.

210
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:32,640
Speaker 2: His legs were so white they looked like the glory

211
00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:37,440
Speaker 2: of God. He couldn't wait to jump in, so excited.

212
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:39,920
Speaker 2: My mother looked at him, said, John, don't even think

213
00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:46,120
Speaker 2: about getting him my swimming pool. What was that supernatural favor?

214
00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:52,040
Speaker 2: God said, if you will delight yourself in him, he

215
00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:53,120
Speaker 2: will give you.

216
00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:54,760
Speaker 1: The desires of your heart.

217
00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:59,000
Speaker 2: That means, if you'll keep God first place, if you'll

218
00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:02,400
Speaker 2: honor him with your he'll cause people to want to

219
00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:03,120
Speaker 2: be good to you.

220
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:04,600
Speaker 1: He'll cause you to be.

221
00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:07,880
Speaker 2: At the right place at the right time. His blessings

222
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:11,160
Speaker 2: will chase you down and overtake you. Why don't you

223
00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:13,520
Speaker 2: take the limits off of God. Why don't you get

224
00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:16,440
Speaker 2: out of your box and say God, I'm ready for some.

225
00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:18,120
Speaker 1: Of these explosive blessings.

226
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:22,400
Speaker 2: I'm ready for your far and beyond favor. David said,

227
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:26,040
Speaker 2: I have pitched my tent in the land of hope.

228
00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:29,199
Speaker 2: Let me ask you, where have you pitched your tent?

229
00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:32,320
Speaker 2: What are you expecting this year? What are you believing

230
00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:35,640
Speaker 2: for well, Joel, that would never happen for me. I

231
00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:38,480
Speaker 2: never get any good breaks. I'll never get promoted, I've

232
00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:41,240
Speaker 2: reached my limits. I'll never sell my house. You know

233
00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:44,559
Speaker 2: what the markets like, Joel, I'll probably never get well. No,

234
00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:47,840
Speaker 2: the problem is you've got your tent in the wrong neighborhood.

235
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:51,319
Speaker 2: You need to pull up your stakes, pack up your belongings,

236
00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:53,760
Speaker 2: and come over to the land of more than enough,

237
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:57,880
Speaker 2: the land of explosive blessings, the land of supernatural health

238
00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:02,679
Speaker 2: is longing to be good to you. But you've got

239
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:05,400
Speaker 2: to get your thoughts going in the right direction. None

240
00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:08,440
Speaker 2: of this will happen if we don't believe. This is

241
00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:12,240
Speaker 2: exactly what Sarah did. God promised her that she was

242
00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:15,200
Speaker 2: going to have a child. At first, she didn't believe it.

243
00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:18,000
Speaker 2: She thought she was too old. I love what God

244
00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:22,040
Speaker 2: said to her. They're in Genesis eighteen fourteen. He said, Sarah,

245
00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:26,840
Speaker 2: is there anything too hard for the Lord? God is

246
00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:29,320
Speaker 2: saying that to each one of us. Is there anything

247
00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:32,959
Speaker 2: too hard for me? Do you think your dreams are

248
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:35,520
Speaker 2: too big for God to bring to pass? Do you

249
00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:39,280
Speaker 2: think that relationship is too far gone for God to restore?

250
00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:41,480
Speaker 2: Do you think you just have to live with that

251
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:45,319
Speaker 2: sickness the rest of your life? No, get a new

252
00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:48,840
Speaker 2: vision today, put on a new attitude. God is saying,

253
00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:53,079
Speaker 2: I am all powerful. I can turn any situation around.

254
00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:55,880
Speaker 2: It doesn't matter what it looks like in the natural.

255
00:13:56,280 --> 00:14:00,360
Speaker 2: He is a supernatural God the amplified verse and puts

256
00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:04,240
Speaker 2: it this way. Is there anything too wonderful for the Lord?

257
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:08,560
Speaker 2: Sometimes when we hear stories like these, we think that's

258
00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:11,880
Speaker 2: just too good to be true. A friend gave you

259
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:14,959
Speaker 2: funds to pay off a building project, or somebody you

260
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:18,560
Speaker 2: didn't even know gave you a swimming pool. Our mind says,

261
00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:22,600
Speaker 2: no way, that's impossible. But notice what kind of.

262
00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:23,680
Speaker 1: God we serve?

263
00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:29,000
Speaker 2: He said, is there anything too wonderful for me? He's saying,

264
00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:32,200
Speaker 2: if you'll take the limits off of me, I'll amaze

265
00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:35,200
Speaker 2: you with my goodness. I'll not only meet your needs,

266
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:36,520
Speaker 2: I'll take it one step further.

267
00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:39,360
Speaker 1: I'll give you the desires of your heart.

268
00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:45,560
Speaker 2: One translation says the secret petitions of your heart. That is,

269
00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:50,080
Speaker 2: those hidden dreams, those secret desires, those promises that you

270
00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:51,520
Speaker 2: haven't told anybody about.

271
00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:54,600
Speaker 1: It's just between you and God. Know this today.

272
00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:59,520
Speaker 2: God wants to bring your secret petitions to pass. Will

273
00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:01,880
Speaker 2: you get a vision for it? Will you put your

274
00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:05,800
Speaker 2: faith out there? Sometimes we think, well, I couldn't believe.

275
00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:06,600
Speaker 1: For a swimming pool.

276
00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:10,160
Speaker 2: That wouldn't be right, Or Joel, God's got bigger things

277
00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:12,920
Speaker 2: to deal with than me getting this business off the

278
00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:16,600
Speaker 2: ground or taking this trip overseas to see my relatives.

279
00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:19,560
Speaker 2: I can't bother God with that. That's not important enough.

280
00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:23,040
Speaker 2: It's just the opposite. God is the one that put

281
00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:26,120
Speaker 2: the dream in your heart. I know as a parent,

282
00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:29,000
Speaker 2: I love to do good things for my children. I

283
00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:31,520
Speaker 2: love to make their day. Now I want you to

284
00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:35,320
Speaker 2: get a revelation of how much your heavenly Father is

285
00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:38,520
Speaker 2: longing to be good to you. He wants to amaze

286
00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:41,360
Speaker 2: you with his goodness. This is what my mother did.

287
00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:44,160
Speaker 1: She could have easily let my father talk her out

288
00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:44,400
Speaker 1: of it.

289
00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:47,320
Speaker 2: She could have thought of all the reasons why it

290
00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:50,200
Speaker 2: wasn't gonna work and why she probably didn't deserve it.

291
00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:53,520
Speaker 2: But she simply made a decision to stay in faith.

292
00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:56,080
Speaker 2: She didn't try to figure it all out. She's had

293
00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:56,840
Speaker 2: the attitude.

294
00:15:57,080 --> 00:15:57,400
Speaker 1: Lord.

295
00:15:57,440 --> 00:16:01,080
Speaker 2: I believe she was saying, God, know you wanna be

296
00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:04,160
Speaker 2: good to me. When you believe, it.

297
00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:06,320
Speaker 1: Sets a series of events into motion.

298
00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:10,720
Speaker 2: God gave that couple a desire to wanna be good

299
00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:14,400
Speaker 2: to my parents. Here they were in another state, minding

300
00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:16,920
Speaker 2: their own business. All of a sudden, they feel an

301
00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:20,240
Speaker 2: impression to come to Houston. They have the idea of

302
00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:23,280
Speaker 2: all things, to give them a swimming pool. Why not

303
00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:26,480
Speaker 2: just make a donation, give them money, give them stock. No,

304
00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:29,800
Speaker 2: God wants to give you the desires of your heart.

305
00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:35,160
Speaker 2: I believe even right now, because you're in faith, because

306
00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:38,880
Speaker 2: you're saying, Lord, I believe God is arranging things in

307
00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:42,200
Speaker 2: your favor. He is lining up the right people, the

308
00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:46,840
Speaker 2: right opportunities. In the coming days, You're gonna see supernatural increase,

309
00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:51,640
Speaker 2: explosive blessings. God's gonna give you the desires of your heart.

310
00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:55,280
Speaker 1: That's just what happened to Sarah.

311
00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:59,720
Speaker 2: She eventually conceived, even though she was way beyond the child,

312
00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:02,680
Speaker 2: being years, she had that son, Isaac.

313
00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:05,480
Speaker 1: It was far and beyond favor. Now I love what

314
00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:06,240
Speaker 1: she said.

315
00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:09,760
Speaker 2: She said, who would have ever thought I could have

316
00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:12,240
Speaker 2: a child at such an old age?

317
00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:14,320
Speaker 1: In other words, she was so amazed.

318
00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:17,320
Speaker 2: All she could say was who would believe this would

319
00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:20,440
Speaker 2: ever happen? That's what God wants to do for every

320
00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:22,919
Speaker 2: one of us. He wants us to go around saying,

321
00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:25,800
Speaker 2: who would have ever thought somebody would.

322
00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:27,000
Speaker 1: Give me a swimming pool?

323
00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:30,639
Speaker 2: Or who would have ever thought we would be worshiping

324
00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:34,120
Speaker 2: here today in the form of Compact Center. Who would

325
00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:37,040
Speaker 2: have ever thought a friend would give me the funds

326
00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:40,679
Speaker 2: to pay off a project and then have some leftover friends.

327
00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:43,400
Speaker 2: God wants to give you some of these who would

328
00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:47,680
Speaker 2: have thought blessings? They're not average blessings. Not I made

329
00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:51,480
Speaker 2: it through. God took me through another year. No, God's

330
00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:54,480
Speaker 2: dream is for you to say, who would have thought

331
00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:57,200
Speaker 2: two thousand and nine would be my best year?

332
00:17:57,600 --> 00:17:59,720
Speaker 1: It was supposed to be a down year. Who would

333
00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:00,640
Speaker 1: have thought God, I'd.

334
00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:03,679
Speaker 2: Ever be so well and feel so healthy when the

335
00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:06,440
Speaker 2: medical report says I'm not even supposed to be here.

336
00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:07,400
Speaker 1: How about this?

337
00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:10,400
Speaker 2: Who would have thought God would bless me in such

338
00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:13,680
Speaker 2: abundance that I can give away more than I used

339
00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:16,680
Speaker 2: to make. You might as well get ready, God's got

340
00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:19,320
Speaker 2: some of these. Who would have thought blessings come in

341
00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:24,800
Speaker 2: your way? You are headed for supernatural increase, supernatural healing,

342
00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:29,720
Speaker 2: supernatural restoration. God wants to amaze you with his goodness.

343
00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:32,359
Speaker 2: You say, Joel, I don't see how that could happen

344
00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:34,600
Speaker 2: for me. I don't see how I could ever get

345
00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:36,560
Speaker 2: out of these problems. Don't see how I could ever

346
00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:40,280
Speaker 2: be well. Here's the key. You don't have to see how.

347
00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:44,800
Speaker 2: That's not your job. Your job is to believe. God

348
00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:47,600
Speaker 2: has all kinds of ways to bring your dreams to

349
00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:50,600
Speaker 2: pass that you've never even thought of. That's why it

350
00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:55,960
Speaker 2: says in Proverbs lean not to your own understanding. Sometimes

351
00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:59,520
Speaker 2: there is no logical solution. Sometimes there's no way out

352
00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:02,920
Speaker 2: in the natural. If we're constantly trying to figure it out,

353
00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:06,000
Speaker 2: it's just going to cause us to get frustrated. Eventually

354
00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:09,879
Speaker 2: we'll get discouraged and just settle where we are again. Understand,

355
00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:14,040
Speaker 2: just because we don't see away doesn't mean that God

356
00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:17,359
Speaker 2: doesn't have a way. I heard about this little girl.

357
00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:21,239
Speaker 2: She wanted a kitten so bad. She kept asking her

358
00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:24,680
Speaker 2: mother week after week for this kitten. But her mother

359
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:27,639
Speaker 2: she didn't want any more pets around the house, and

360
00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:31,000
Speaker 2: she kept telling her no again and again. But this

361
00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:34,280
Speaker 2: little girl was so determined, kind of like my mother.

362
00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:38,640
Speaker 2: Month after month, she just kept asking for that kitten. Finally,

363
00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:42,440
Speaker 2: the mother, basically out of frustration, said listen, honey, if

364
00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:45,080
Speaker 2: God gives you a kitten, I'll let you keep it,

365
00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:47,639
Speaker 2: but we're not gonna get one otherwise. Well, that little

366
00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:50,720
Speaker 2: girl didn't know any better. She went out in the backyard,

367
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:53,960
Speaker 2: got down on her knees and said, God, I'm asking

368
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:57,240
Speaker 2: you to please give me a kitten. When she got

369
00:19:57,280 --> 00:20:01,160
Speaker 2: through praying with the mother watching, all of a sudden,

370
00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:04,679
Speaker 2: out of nowhere, a kitten comes flying out of the

371
00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:08,800
Speaker 2: sky and lands a few feet away. The mother could

372
00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:11,720
Speaker 2: not believe her eyes. She thought she was seeing things.

373
00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:12,840
Speaker 2: She went outside.

374
00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:14,919
Speaker 1: There was no tree overhead.

375
00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:18,240
Speaker 2: It looked like the kitten had fallen from the heavens.

376
00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:20,560
Speaker 2: The little girl just picked it up and said, look, mommy,

377
00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:25,040
Speaker 2: God gave me my kitten. The mother was still there,

378
00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:30,360
Speaker 2: dumbfounded in disbelief. Several months later she learned what happened.

379
00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:33,920
Speaker 2: Some neighbors that lived behind her and a few houses

380
00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:36,840
Speaker 2: down were trying to get this little kitten out of

381
00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:39,440
Speaker 2: a tree, but it was too tall for the man

382
00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:40,640
Speaker 2: to reach with his ladder.

383
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:42,280
Speaker 1: So this man tied the.

384
00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:44,879
Speaker 2: Rope to the tree, and he hooked the rope to

385
00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:48,240
Speaker 2: his back bumper of the car, and he started slowly

386
00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:51,239
Speaker 2: pulling forward so the tree would bend over. And just

387
00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:53,359
Speaker 2: when he got it bent over to where he thought

388
00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:56,399
Speaker 2: he could get the kitten, the rope slept and the

389
00:20:56,480 --> 00:21:04,000
Speaker 2: tree acted like a slingshot. It's slung that kitten nearly

390
00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:07,440
Speaker 2: two hundred yards away, three houses down, and it fell

391
00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:11,000
Speaker 2: right at that little girl speak. That man felt terrible.

392
00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:13,399
Speaker 2: They thought the kitten was dead. They couldn't find it.

393
00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:17,960
Speaker 2: He didn't know he was an answer to prayer. God

394
00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:19,600
Speaker 2: works in mysterious ways.

395
00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:22,720
Speaker 1: Now that little girl can.

396
00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:26,159
Speaker 2: Say, who would have ever thought God would have reigned

397
00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:30,000
Speaker 2: down a kitten from the heavens? Is there anything too

398
00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:33,199
Speaker 2: hard for the Lord? Is there anything too wonderful? For

399
00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:33,800
Speaker 2: our God.

400
00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:36,639
Speaker 1: He knows how to have you at the right place

401
00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:37,560
Speaker 1: at the right time.

402
00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:42,280
Speaker 2: Some of you single people you're believing to get married.

403
00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:43,600
Speaker 1: You need to get ready.

404
00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:48,600
Speaker 2: For some of these supernatural connections, explosive blessings. God is

405
00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:52,280
Speaker 2: going to bring the right person into your life. No,

406
00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:56,560
Speaker 2: they may not drop down out of the sky. If

407
00:21:56,600 --> 00:22:00,399
Speaker 2: they do, call the police first. But God is going

408
00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:04,440
Speaker 2: to bring somebody great across your path. First thing that'll

409
00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:06,160
Speaker 2: come to your mind. Oh, that's not going to happen

410
00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:09,480
Speaker 2: for me. I've been single so long, I'll never meet anybody.

411
00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:12,280
Speaker 2: Don't dwell on those lines. Remember how you're supposed to

412
00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:13,600
Speaker 2: respond three.

413
00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:15,640
Speaker 1: Simple words, Lord, I believe.

414
00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:18,920
Speaker 2: In other words, God, I know this is my year

415
00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:23,080
Speaker 2: for supernatural connections. I know you're directing my steps, and God,

416
00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:26,760
Speaker 2: I believe you can even sling somebody across my path.

417
00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:30,840
Speaker 2: That's what happened to Victoria. I got slung into her

418
00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:36,639
Speaker 2: jewelry store. At least that's my side of the story.

419
00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:41,080
Speaker 2: I met a couple at a bookstore not long ago

420
00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:44,520
Speaker 2: in Manhattan. We were doing a book signing. They came

421
00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:46,760
Speaker 2: up to the table and said this was their one

422
00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:50,439
Speaker 2: year wedding anniversary and of course, I congratulated them. They

423
00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:53,160
Speaker 2: were just beaming from ear to ear, so happy. And

424
00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:55,600
Speaker 2: they went on to tell how they had met at

425
00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:59,880
Speaker 2: my book signing one year earlier in that exact same bookstore.

426
00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:03,359
Speaker 2: They had never seen each other before, just so happened

427
00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:06,080
Speaker 2: they were standing in line next to each other. They

428
00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:08,879
Speaker 2: visited for an hour or so, and they ended up dating,

429
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:12,560
Speaker 2: and eventually they got married. Listen, good things happen when

430
00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:16,600
Speaker 2: you come to my book signings. I told that man,

431
00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:19,240
Speaker 2: you owe me a finder's fee. She was a beautiful

432
00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:22,720
Speaker 2: young lady. But they were back just to say, would

433
00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:25,720
Speaker 2: you believe we met here a year ago and now

434
00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:29,119
Speaker 2: we're married. That young man can say, like Sarah, who

435
00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:31,840
Speaker 2: would have ever thought I would go to a book

436
00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:34,400
Speaker 2: store just to get my books signed and I'd come

437
00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:39,960
Speaker 2: away with a beautiful wife.

438
00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:47,879
Speaker 1: Boy, the bookstore is going to be filled up today. Friends.

439
00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:50,720
Speaker 1: God is in control of the whole universe.

440
00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:54,119
Speaker 2: He is directing your steps, causing you to be at

441
00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:56,080
Speaker 2: the right place at the right time.

442
00:23:56,560 --> 00:23:59,160
Speaker 1: He knows what you need, and he knows how to.

443
00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:02,800
Speaker 2: Get it to you. I read about this salesman. He

444
00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:05,840
Speaker 2: was going door to door selling vacuum cleaners. That's what

445
00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:08,040
Speaker 2: he did for a living. He got to this one

446
00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:10,879
Speaker 2: house and this young man came to the door. He

447
00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:13,159
Speaker 2: could tell he wasn't feeling enough to part, but he

448
00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:16,240
Speaker 2: gave him his sales pitch, and finally the young man said, listen,

449
00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:17,919
Speaker 2: I don't need a vacuum cleaner.

450
00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:20,480
Speaker 1: I need a kidney. I'm waiting for a transplant.

451
00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:23,399
Speaker 2: There were five hundred people on the transplant list in

452
00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:26,880
Speaker 2: front of him. The salesman said I understand, and started

453
00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:30,480
Speaker 2: on his way. But before he drove off, something down

454
00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:34,080
Speaker 2: in here said to this salesman, you were sent here

455
00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:37,840
Speaker 2: for a reason, not to sell a vacuum cleaner, but

456
00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:41,240
Speaker 2: to give this young man a kidney. He immediately called

457
00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:42,840
Speaker 2: his wife, called his father.

458
00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:43,960
Speaker 1: They both agreed.

459
00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:46,400
Speaker 2: He went back to the door ten minutes later and said,

460
00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:48,560
Speaker 2: let's go see your doctor. I want to donate a

461
00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:51,000
Speaker 2: kidney to you. Wouldn't you know it? They were a

462
00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:55,080
Speaker 2: perfect match. Several weeks later they had the transplant. Today

463
00:24:55,119 --> 00:24:57,800
Speaker 2: both of the men are as strong and healthy as

464
00:24:57,840 --> 00:25:01,080
Speaker 2: can be. God knows what you need, and he knows

465
00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:01,440
Speaker 2: how to.

466
00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:03,120
Speaker 1: Get it to you. You don't know.

467
00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:06,600
Speaker 2: God may send a salesman across your path. You don't

468
00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:08,600
Speaker 2: even know what they're there for, but they'll end up

469
00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:12,520
Speaker 2: being an answer to prayer. Now this young man can say,

470
00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:15,399
Speaker 2: who would have ever thought somebody came to sell me

471
00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:18,600
Speaker 2: a vacuum and ended up giving me a kidney? Is

472
00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:21,719
Speaker 2: there anything too hard for the Lord? God has you

473
00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:25,040
Speaker 2: in the palm of his hand. He knows every need,

474
00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:29,800
Speaker 2: He knows every struggle, he knows every dream, every desire.

475
00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:33,440
Speaker 2: The good news is God has it all figured out.

476
00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:37,359
Speaker 2: He's a supernatural god. Most of you saw the news

477
00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:40,880
Speaker 2: reports about the airplane that landed in the Hudson River

478
00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:44,440
Speaker 2: there in New York. That wasn't a lucky break. That

479
00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:48,480
Speaker 2: wasn't just good fortune. That was God's supernatural power. That

480
00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:54,520
Speaker 2: was God heven. Everything lined up just right. Think about

481
00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:59,360
Speaker 2: how the captain. Captain Sully had forty years of experience,

482
00:25:59,840 --> 00:26:02,480
Speaker 2: was trained in the Air Force, the best training in

483
00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:05,639
Speaker 2: the world. On top of that, he was an expert

484
00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:07,760
Speaker 2: in gliding as a hobby.

485
00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:09,960
Speaker 1: He flew planes with no engines.

486
00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:13,159
Speaker 2: Nobody would know more about landing a plane with no

487
00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:16,280
Speaker 2: power than him. And on top of that, think about

488
00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:20,440
Speaker 2: all the thousands of flights that take off every single day.

489
00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:23,919
Speaker 2: It just so happened he got the one plane that

490
00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:26,600
Speaker 2: was going to lose the engines. What am I saying

491
00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:30,480
Speaker 2: God was orchestrating at all, having the right people at

492
00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:33,439
Speaker 2: the right place at the right time. Even when he

493
00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:36,399
Speaker 2: landed the plane, they're in the Hudson River. It was

494
00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:39,119
Speaker 2: just as big a miracle that the plane didn't sink.

495
00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:41,719
Speaker 2: If he'd got in a little cock eye, or if

496
00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:44,200
Speaker 2: they'd opened up the wrong doors, the cabin could have

497
00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:45,080
Speaker 2: filled up with water.

498
00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:46,680
Speaker 1: They could have still all drowned.

499
00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:50,119
Speaker 2: That was just a small glimpse of God's supernatural power.

500
00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:51,680
Speaker 1: That was God.

501
00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:56,520
Speaker 2: That was God's saying to the world, I'm in complete control.

502
00:26:57,320 --> 00:26:58,199
Speaker 1: When you trust me.

503
00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:01,960
Speaker 2: I can turn a river into a I can cause

504
00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:04,639
Speaker 2: a salesman to knock at your door and give you

505
00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:07,240
Speaker 2: a kidney. I can cause a friend to call you

506
00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:11,000
Speaker 2: and pay off a mortgage. I can even rain down

507
00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:14,360
Speaker 2: a kitten from the skies. Now, I'm asking you today

508
00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:18,520
Speaker 2: to release your faith for a supernatural year. You may

509
00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:21,400
Speaker 2: have seen victories in your past, but what God wants

510
00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:24,560
Speaker 2: to do in your future is going to supersede anything

511
00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:27,520
Speaker 2: you've ever seen before. This is your year for far

512
00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:31,560
Speaker 2: and beyond favor. This is your year for supernatural opportunities.

513
00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:36,840
Speaker 2: Supernatural connections. You may not see how it can happen,

514
00:27:37,359 --> 00:27:41,040
Speaker 2: but remember God has a way. He not only wants

515
00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:43,240
Speaker 2: to meet your needs, he wants to give you the

516
00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:45,960
Speaker 2: desires of your heart. And it's my prayer that you'll

517
00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:49,400
Speaker 2: get a revelation of how much your heavenly.

518
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:51,159
Speaker 1: Father is longing to be good to you.

519
00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:54,199
Speaker 2: He even wants to give you the secret dreams of

520
00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:57,480
Speaker 2: your heart. And if you'll go out each day expecting

521
00:27:57,520 --> 00:28:01,639
Speaker 2: to have a supernatural year, believing for supernatural favor, then

522
00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:04,439
Speaker 2: you're gonna see God show up and show out in

523
00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:07,840
Speaker 2: amazing ways. Like Sarah, You're gonna have some of these

524
00:28:08,080 --> 00:28:12,000
Speaker 2: who would have thought blessings, some explosive blessings that will.

525
00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:13,840
Speaker 1: Blast you to a whole new level.

526
00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:16,200
Speaker 2: When you look back, we're gonna be able to say

527
00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:18,399
Speaker 2: two thousand and nine was not an average year, not

528
00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:19,320
Speaker 2: a mediocre year.

529
00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:22,600
Speaker 1: It was a supernatural year. Amen. Do you receive that today?

530
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:23,560
Speaker 1: I know you do.

531
00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:30,320
Speaker 3: Some of us have been carrying the same weight for years, mistakes, regrets,

532
00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:33,359
Speaker 3: what people said, What if you were never meant to

533
00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:35,240
Speaker 3: carry any of it.

534
00:28:35,240 --> 00:28:38,200
Speaker 2: It's easy in life to wear labels mistakes we've made

535
00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:42,440
Speaker 2: and what people have said disappointments we faced. Those labels

536
00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:45,080
Speaker 2: can diminish our sense of value and cause us to

537
00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:47,680
Speaker 2: forget who we really are. And have a new book

538
00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:51,400
Speaker 2: called Made by God. Know it, receive it, and live it.

539
