But thanks for tuning in 13 00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:34,920 Speaker 1: and thank you again for coming out today. And I 14 00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:37,520 Speaker 1: like to start with something funny and heard about this 15 00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:40,360 Speaker 1: eighty five year old lady. She went on a blind 16 00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:43,680 Speaker 1: date with a ninety year old man. She returned to 17 00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:47,560 Speaker 1: her daughter's home later that evening and seemed upset. Daughter said, Mom, 18 00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:51,000 Speaker 1: what's wrong? She said, I had to slap him three times. 19 00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:54,240 Speaker 1: She said, you mean he tried to get fresh. She said, no, 20 00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:59,160 Speaker 1: I thought he was dead. Hold up your Bible, say 21 00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:02,040 Speaker 1: it like you mean it. This is my Bible. I 22 00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:04,399 Speaker 1: am what it says I am. I have what it 23 00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:06,880 Speaker 1: says I have. I can do what it says I 24 00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:10,000 Speaker 1: can do. Today I will be taught the word of God. 25 00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:14,680 Speaker 1: I boldly confess my mind is alert, my heart is receptive. 26 00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:18,479 Speaker 1: I will never be the same. In Jesus' name, God 27 00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:22,319 Speaker 1: bless you. I want to talk to you today about 28 00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:26,080 Speaker 1: how you're coming in to a shift. One touch of 29 00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:29,000 Speaker 1: God's favor can put you fifty years down the road. 30 00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:32,800 Speaker 1: You can be at a lower position at the office. 31 00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:37,560 Speaker 1: You're going along being your best, honoring God, and suddenly 32 00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:42,440 Speaker 1: things change. One good break, one idea, one person that 33 00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:45,759 Speaker 1: likes you. You look up and find yourself at the top. 34 00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:49,639 Speaker 1: You didn't see it coming. Things just fell into place. 35 00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:55,400 Speaker 1: That's God shifting things in your favor. God can cause 36 00:01:55,520 --> 00:02:01,040 Speaker 1: opportunity to find you. He has unexpected blame things to 37 00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:05,880 Speaker 1: where suddenly you meet the right person. Suddenly your health improves, 38 00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:09,560 Speaker 1: Suddenly you're able to pay your house off. What happened, 39 00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:13,880 Speaker 1: You came into a shift. God breathed in your direction. 40 00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:17,519 Speaker 1: What used to be a struggle is not a struggle anymore. 41 00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:21,160 Speaker 1: What should have taken years happened in a fraction of 42 00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:24,800 Speaker 1: the time. Now you may feel like you're stuck today. 43 00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:29,560 Speaker 1: You could never accomplish a dream, never overcome a problem. 44 00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:34,080 Speaker 1: It's been too long, You've missed too many opportunities. God 45 00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:37,079 Speaker 1: has said, no, get ready, I'm about to shift. These 46 00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:40,600 Speaker 1: doors are going to open for you that have not 47 00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:44,200 Speaker 1: opened in the past. The people that were against you 48 00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:47,760 Speaker 1: are going to suddenly change their mind. And before you, 49 00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:51,440 Speaker 1: that problem that's dogged you for years, looked like it 50 00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:55,480 Speaker 1: never changed, is going to suddenly turn around. This is 51 00:02:55,560 --> 00:03:00,239 Speaker 1: the year of the shift. Because you've honored God, He's 52 00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:02,920 Speaker 1: going to put you in a position that you could 53 00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:06,680 Speaker 1: have never attained on your own. It's not just your education, 54 00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:09,560 Speaker 1: not just your talent or the family you come from. 55 00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:13,120 Speaker 1: It's the hand of God shifting you to a new 56 00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:16,280 Speaker 1: level of your destiny. And I'm not just trying to 57 00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:20,160 Speaker 1: make you feel good today. I'm prophesying a shift is coming, 58 00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:24,280 Speaker 1: a shift in your health, a shift in your finances, 59 00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:28,760 Speaker 1: a shift in a relationship. May not look like it 60 00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:32,800 Speaker 1: in the natural, but we serve a supernatural God. He's 61 00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:36,760 Speaker 1: about to breathe in your direction in a new way. 62 00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:39,840 Speaker 1: The enemies you've seen in the past you will see 63 00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:43,680 Speaker 1: no more. The addictions, bad habits that are holding you back, 64 00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:47,440 Speaker 1: are being broken, and God's favor is being released in 65 00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:51,400 Speaker 1: a new way. It's going to propel you forward. What 66 00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:54,960 Speaker 1: should have taken you forty years to accomplish, God's going 67 00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:58,640 Speaker 1: to do in a split second. The shift is acceleration. 68 00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:01,920 Speaker 1: The shift is going beyond where you could go on 69 00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:06,360 Speaker 1: your own. The shift is overcoming what a medical report 70 00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:10,680 Speaker 1: says is impossible. The shift is seeing that wayward child 71 00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:14,480 Speaker 1: changes mind and get back on the right course. The 72 00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:18,400 Speaker 1: shift is having your best year when the circumstances say 73 00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:21,640 Speaker 1: you should have a down year. The shift is seeing 74 00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:26,320 Speaker 1: Jehovah Jihrah, the Lord, our provider, not only provide, but 75 00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:31,440 Speaker 1: do exceedingly abundantly above and beyond. Now our attitude should 76 00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:35,040 Speaker 1: be God, I'm ready. I'm taking the limits off of you. 77 00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:39,159 Speaker 1: I'm enlarging my vision. I may not see away, but 78 00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:42,000 Speaker 1: I know you have a way. I declare I'm coming 79 00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:46,159 Speaker 1: into a shift now. Those doors that were closed in 80 00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:49,960 Speaker 1: the past, you need to go check again. Things have shifted. 81 00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:54,200 Speaker 1: The dream you had to start a new business, go 82 00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:57,719 Speaker 1: back to college to take that mission strip may not 83 00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:01,200 Speaker 1: have happened the first time, but that's hey, It's prepared 84 00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:04,640 Speaker 1: you for this time. Don't give up on it. It's 85 00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:09,160 Speaker 1: a new day. Things have shifted. Pursue it again. When 86 00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:14,640 Speaker 1: God breeds in your direction, people change their mind. Closed 87 00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:18,680 Speaker 1: doors suddenly opened the nose, turn into yesa's the not 88 00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:22,279 Speaker 1: now's into it's your time. I know a man that 89 00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:25,080 Speaker 1: had been out of work for over three years. He's 90 00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:28,880 Speaker 1: in construction management for twenty five years. He had a 91 00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:33,400 Speaker 1: very good position at a successful company. A few years ago. 92 00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:37,000 Speaker 1: When the economy went down and building tapered off, his 93 00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:39,880 Speaker 1: company didn't have any business had to let him go. 94 00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:44,440 Speaker 1: He went to interview after interview, month after month, no success. 95 00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:48,919 Speaker 1: He ended up taking a much lower level position in 96 00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:51,520 Speaker 1: a small city and had to travel a couple of 97 00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:54,560 Speaker 1: hours every day to work. He's taking a toll on 98 00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:58,080 Speaker 1: his health, his marriage, his savings looked like it had 99 00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:02,680 Speaker 1: never changed. But about six months ago his former boss 100 00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:05,400 Speaker 1: called and said, hey, are you ready to go back 101 00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:10,440 Speaker 1: to work. That company landed the largest contract in their history. 102 00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:13,440 Speaker 1: He not only got his job back, but all of 103 00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:16,919 Speaker 1: his benefits were restored. He used to have to travel 104 00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:19,640 Speaker 1: around the country. Now he gets to stay at home. 105 00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:24,640 Speaker 1: Plus they increased his salary significantly. He said, this is 106 00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:29,440 Speaker 1: exceedingly abundantly above and beyond. What happened he came into 107 00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:34,560 Speaker 1: a shift. Suddenly things changed in his favor. One phone call, 108 00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:38,400 Speaker 1: one contract, one good break. He went from barely getting 109 00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:41,200 Speaker 1: by to heaven more than enough. Now you need to 110 00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:45,840 Speaker 1: get ready. These shifts are in your future. The Israelites 111 00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:50,400 Speaker 1: had been in slavery for many years. Mistreated by their captors. 112 00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:54,280 Speaker 1: They were forced to work long hours, not giving the 113 00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:58,200 Speaker 1: proper rest or food. When they didn't meet their quotas, 114 00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:02,080 Speaker 1: they were beaten with rods. It was very unfair. But 115 00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:05,880 Speaker 1: one day, through a series of events, God supernaturally brought 116 00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:10,840 Speaker 1: them out. As they were leaving, the scripture says, God 117 00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:16,360 Speaker 1: caused them to have favor with their enemies. Notice, God 118 00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:20,360 Speaker 1: caused them to have favor. The same people that had 119 00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:23,880 Speaker 1: oppressed them for years, the same ones that had pushed 120 00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:28,880 Speaker 1: them down and mistreated them, suddenly changed their mind. They said, 121 00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:31,640 Speaker 1: in a fact, we've decided that we like you. Now 122 00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:35,320 Speaker 1: we want to be good to you. On their way out, 123 00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:40,640 Speaker 1: they gave the Israelites their gold, silver, and jewels. What 124 00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:45,720 Speaker 1: happened the Israelites came into a shift. God changed their 125 00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:50,080 Speaker 1: enemy's mind. Proverb says that God can turn the heart 126 00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:52,880 Speaker 1: of a king. We may not be able to change 127 00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:57,360 Speaker 1: people's mind, but God can. He controls the whole universe. Now, 128 00:07:57,400 --> 00:07:59,640 Speaker 1: you may have people in your life like this, people 129 00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:03,000 Speaker 1: that don't like you. Boss that's hard to get along with, 130 00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:07,240 Speaker 1: family member that's disrespectful. It's easy to get discouraged and 131 00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:10,040 Speaker 1: think this is always going to be this way. They're 132 00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:13,400 Speaker 1: always going to be against me. Now stay in faith. 133 00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:17,840 Speaker 1: God has a shift coming. God knows how to cause 134 00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:21,280 Speaker 1: them to like you. God can cause them to see 135 00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:24,000 Speaker 1: you in a new light. They may have been against 136 00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:27,600 Speaker 1: you year after year, but when God shifts things, they'll 137 00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:29,240 Speaker 1: go out of their way to be good to you. 138 00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:34,000 Speaker 1: Instead of hindering you, they'll help you. Bottom line, God 139 00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:37,600 Speaker 1: will not allow any person to keep you from your destiny. 140 00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:42,600 Speaker 1: They may be bigger, stronger, more powerful, but God knows 141 00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:45,560 Speaker 1: how to shift things around and get you to where 142 00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:48,959 Speaker 1: you're supposed to be. I have a friend that never 143 00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:53,200 Speaker 1: really liked his supervisor. Nobody at the company did this. 144 00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:57,880 Speaker 1: Supervisor was very hard to get along with and condescending. 145 00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:02,120 Speaker 1: He'd been a source of frustration year after year. The 146 00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:04,240 Speaker 1: supervisor was a young man, looked like he could be 147 00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:08,400 Speaker 1: at the company twenty thirty years and my friend has 148 00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:10,960 Speaker 1: a good attitude, but deep down he thought, this is 149 00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:13,680 Speaker 1: going to be a pain to put up with this guy. 150 00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:17,880 Speaker 1: One morning, he got to work and everything seemed like normal. 151 00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:22,040 Speaker 1: But the management called a staff meeting and told how 152 00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:26,800 Speaker 1: this supervisor's wife got transferred to another state and he 153 00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:29,640 Speaker 1: had just resigned and was no longer with the company. 154 00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:32,680 Speaker 1: Half the staff fell on their knees and began to 155 00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:40,120 Speaker 1: thank God. What happened a divine shift. Suddenly God changed things. Now, 156 00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:43,440 Speaker 1: quit worrying about the people that are trying to hold 157 00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:47,200 Speaker 1: you back. God knows how to move the wrong people 158 00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:49,840 Speaker 1: out of your life and bring the right people in. 159 00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:55,040 Speaker 1: And even if God doesn't move, then, says in Psalms, 160 00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:57,959 Speaker 1: you can run through a troop and leap over a wall. 161 00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:01,840 Speaker 1: God can cause you to go over them, or around them, 162 00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:04,480 Speaker 1: or even through them. But God is going to get 163 00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:07,520 Speaker 1: you to where you're supposed to be. Now, some of 164 00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:10,920 Speaker 1: you feel like you're too far back, the obstacles are 165 00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:15,160 Speaker 1: too big, you could never really get ahead. All God 166 00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:19,400 Speaker 1: has to do is breathe in your direction. One simple 167 00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:22,480 Speaker 1: shift can take you from the back to the front. 168 00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:28,160 Speaker 1: One good break, one idea one divine connection. Years ago, 169 00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:31,720 Speaker 1: I was at an amusement park with our two children. 170 00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:35,120 Speaker 1: We were in line for a very popular ride. At first, 171 00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:37,800 Speaker 1: it was all single file, but when you got close 172 00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:40,720 Speaker 1: to the front, you went into this little building about 173 00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:43,760 Speaker 1: twenty feet by twenty feet and waited. We were the 174 00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:47,160 Speaker 1: first ones in this new batch, first ones into the building, 175 00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:49,800 Speaker 1: so we walked all the way to the front by 176 00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:53,840 Speaker 1: these big double doors and waited. Other people began to 177 00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:56,680 Speaker 1: come in. They were excited about getting on the ride, 178 00:10:56,720 --> 00:10:59,760 Speaker 1: and they started maneuvering their way in front of us. 179 00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:03,240 Speaker 1: Now I'm more laid back and easy going. I wasn't 180 00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:05,040 Speaker 1: going to get in there and try to fight for 181 00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:08,360 Speaker 1: our position. We ended up at the very back of 182 00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:11,880 Speaker 1: the room, right where we came in. A few minutes, 183 00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:14,160 Speaker 1: a young lady came out that worked at the park, 184 00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:16,920 Speaker 1: and she gave instructions and told what was going to 185 00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:19,400 Speaker 1: go on. Then she said, okay, we're ready to go, 186 00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:22,840 Speaker 1: turn around and go back out the same doors you 187 00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:28,680 Speaker 1: came in. I wanted to say, nanny, nanny, boom boom. 188 00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:32,160 Speaker 1: But in the same way, all God has to do 189 00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:35,559 Speaker 1: is shift the direction and you'll go from the back 190 00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:40,280 Speaker 1: up to the front. The truth is you are one 191 00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:44,360 Speaker 1: shift from seeing a dream come to pass, one shift 192 00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:47,679 Speaker 1: from paying your house off, one shift from seeing your 193 00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:59,199 Speaker 1: health improved, one shift from meeting the right person. Hey, 194 00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:02,920 Speaker 1: you say, getting people's hopes of You're right. You can't 195 00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:05,800 Speaker 1: have faith if you don't first have hope when you 196 00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:09,000 Speaker 1: go out with the attitude God, I believe things are 197 00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:13,439 Speaker 1: shifting in my favor this year. That's not just being positive, 198 00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:17,480 Speaker 1: that's your faith being released. God says to the angels. 199 00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:21,240 Speaker 1: Listen to what they're saying. They believe I'm all powerful. 200 00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:24,880 Speaker 1: They believe I can do the impossible. Let me move 201 00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:27,200 Speaker 1: this person out of the way. Let me open up 202 00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:29,480 Speaker 1: this new door, let me line up this new relationship. 203 00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:33,839 Speaker 1: Let me turn that negative situation around. Says in Isaiah 204 00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:38,120 Speaker 1: that this is God's year to act, not next year, 205 00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:40,280 Speaker 1: not five years, not in the sweep by and by. 206 00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:43,080 Speaker 1: This is the year God's going to shift things in 207 00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:46,600 Speaker 1: your favor. He's getting it all lined up. What you 208 00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:49,720 Speaker 1: could not make happen on your own, God is going 209 00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:53,040 Speaker 1: to cause you to accomplish. It's going to be bigger 210 00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:56,319 Speaker 1: than you thought. It's going to happen quicker than you imagined, 211 00:12:56,559 --> 00:12:58,760 Speaker 1: and it's going to be more rewarding than you ever 212 00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:03,520 Speaker 1: dreamed of. Genesis, chapter forty eight. There's a story of 213 00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:07,120 Speaker 1: when Jacob was a old man, very close to death, 214 00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:11,320 Speaker 1: his son Joseph came to visit him and say his goodbyes. 215 00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:16,000 Speaker 1: He and his father were very close. Joseph was Jacob's 216 00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:19,720 Speaker 1: favorite child. He was the youngest son, the one that 217 00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:22,960 Speaker 1: Jacob gave the coat of many colors to, if you remember, 218 00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:27,520 Speaker 1: at one point Jacob thought Joseph was dead, lived very 219 00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:31,600 Speaker 1: sadly until he found out indeed Joseph was alive and 220 00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:35,800 Speaker 1: living in Egypt. They reunited, and now Jacob the father 221 00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:39,880 Speaker 1: was about to pass. Joseph was standing before him with 222 00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:47,280 Speaker 1: his two sons, Manassah and Ephrium, Jacob's grandsons. Jacob said, Joseph, 223 00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:50,280 Speaker 1: I'm gonna bless your sons as if they were my 224 00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:55,440 Speaker 1: own children. The right hand in those days always gave 225 00:13:55,520 --> 00:14:00,160 Speaker 1: the greatest blessing. It belonged to the firstborn son. That 226 00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:05,119 Speaker 1: was the tradition. So Joseph put his oldest son, Manassa 227 00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:09,840 Speaker 1: in front of Jacob's right hand, and his younger son Ephrium, 228 00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:13,480 Speaker 1: in front of his left. Jacob was nearly blind. He 229 00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:17,440 Speaker 1: couldn't see. When he went to give the blessing, Jacob 230 00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:21,160 Speaker 1: crossed his hands and put his right hand on the 231 00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:24,960 Speaker 1: younger son Ephrium and his left hand on Manassa. The 232 00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:28,480 Speaker 1: older son. Joseph said, no, Dad, you can't see. I 233 00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:31,720 Speaker 1: had him lined up. I put Manassa in front of 234 00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:35,680 Speaker 1: your right hand. He deserves it. Give him the greater blessing. 235 00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:40,760 Speaker 1: Jacob said something very interesting. It gives us insight into 236 00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:45,000 Speaker 1: our God. He said, no, Joseph, I've crossed my hands 237 00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:49,880 Speaker 1: on purpose. Iphrium may have come second. He may have 238 00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:53,480 Speaker 1: been in the back. He doesn't deserve it, didn't qualify 239 00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:57,160 Speaker 1: for it. He's not next in line. But I'm shifting 240 00:14:57,280 --> 00:15:00,800 Speaker 1: him to a new position. I'm taking from the back 241 00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:03,640 Speaker 1: up to the front. I'm gonna give him what he 242 00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:08,000 Speaker 1: doesn't deserve. That's the way our God is. He has 243 00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:11,520 Speaker 1: shifts in your future that will put you at a 244 00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:16,040 Speaker 1: position that you didn't earn. You didn't qualify for, you 245 00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:20,280 Speaker 1: weren't next in line, you didn't have seniority. But God, 246 00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:23,200 Speaker 1: just like he did with Iphrium, is going to cross 247 00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:26,440 Speaker 1: his hands and say I'm gonna move them up from 248 00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:30,240 Speaker 1: the back to the front. From not being qualified to 249 00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:35,000 Speaker 1: suddenly being qualified from being looked down on, disrespected to 250 00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:39,600 Speaker 1: being honored and seen with influence and credibility. In fact, 251 00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:42,240 Speaker 1: some people will be bothered by the think that's not fair. 252 00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:46,040 Speaker 1: I work harder, I have more seniority. But the fact is, 253 00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:49,840 Speaker 1: it's just the goodness of God. God said, because you 254 00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:52,760 Speaker 1: honor him, he would give you houses that you didn't 255 00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:55,640 Speaker 1: have to build. You would reap from vineyards that you 256 00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:59,960 Speaker 1: did not plant. That's God crossing his hands, giving up 257 00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:03,920 Speaker 1: what should have taken years to earn. God is saying 258 00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:06,920 Speaker 1: to you what Jacob said to Ephrium. I'm gonna bless 259 00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:10,760 Speaker 1: you on purpose. I'm gonna move you up. I'm gonna 260 00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:14,640 Speaker 1: accelerate your dreams. I'm gonna give you what you didn't deserve. 261 00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:18,000 Speaker 1: I'm gonna shift you into a position that you could 262 00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:21,280 Speaker 1: have never gotten to on your own. Now we can 263 00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:24,400 Speaker 1: all make excuses, Joel, this is not for me today. 264 00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:28,200 Speaker 1: I'm not qualified. I've made too many mistakes. I don't 265 00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:33,000 Speaker 1: have the talent, the size, the personality, the confidence. God says, 266 00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:36,520 Speaker 1: I know all that I created you, But I'm about 267 00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:39,920 Speaker 1: to cross my hands and bless you in such a 268 00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:44,120 Speaker 1: way that everyone will know it's me and not you now. 269 00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:47,680 Speaker 1: Don't talk to yourself. Out of it. Moses said God, 270 00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:50,960 Speaker 1: not me, I stutter. I can't go speak to Pharaoh. 271 00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:54,720 Speaker 1: God said Moses, don't worry about it. I'm crossing my hands. 272 00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:58,360 Speaker 1: I'm giving you what you need. Gideon said God. I 273 00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:01,440 Speaker 1: come from the poorest family. I'm the least one around here. 274 00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:04,399 Speaker 1: I can't lead this army. God said Gideon. Don't worry. 275 00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:08,360 Speaker 1: I'm crossing my hands. You're coming into a shift. I'm 276 00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:11,719 Speaker 1: gonna move you from the back to the front. David 277 00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:15,439 Speaker 1: could have said, God, I'm too small, too young, too inexperience. 278 00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:20,760 Speaker 1: There's a whole army of talented, successful, confident warriors that 279 00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:24,280 Speaker 1: can go face Goliath. God said David. I know that 280 00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:28,080 Speaker 1: I could have chosen them. But I'm crossing my hands. 281 00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:31,760 Speaker 1: I'm moving you up from the background to the foreground, 282 00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:34,720 Speaker 1: from the shepherd field to the battlefield, all the way 283 00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:38,240 Speaker 1: to the throne. Esther could have said God, I can't 284 00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:40,439 Speaker 1: go in there and speak to the king. He's not 285 00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:43,560 Speaker 1: gonna listen to me. I'm an orphan. I don't have 286 00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:47,760 Speaker 1: any influence. God said Esther. Don't worry. I got you covered. 287 00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:52,119 Speaker 1: I'm crossing my hands I'm gonna give you a respect, credibility, 288 00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:55,679 Speaker 1: honor that you didn't deserve. You didn't work for. What 289 00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:59,920 Speaker 1: am I saying? A shift is coming. Whatever level you're at, 290 00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:02,840 Speaker 1: God is about to cross his hands and put you 291 00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:05,199 Speaker 1: at a position you could have never gotten to on 292 00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:08,840 Speaker 1: your own. He's going to give you what you weren't 293 00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:13,719 Speaker 1: in line to receive. Now, why don't you start expecting 294 00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:17,800 Speaker 1: unprecedented favor, believe in for God to do something new 295 00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:21,160 Speaker 1: in your life? And I know many of you can say, 296 00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:24,600 Speaker 1: like me that God's been good to you. You're blessed 297 00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:27,520 Speaker 1: and healthy and got a good family, a great job, 298 00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:30,720 Speaker 1: and that's all perfect. But can I tell you you 299 00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:35,280 Speaker 1: haven't seen anything yet. God has shifts in your future 300 00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:38,480 Speaker 1: that if He showed you now, you wouldn't believe it. 301 00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:43,480 Speaker 1: It's exceedingly abundantly above and beyond. You think you're hitting 302 00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:46,560 Speaker 1: on all cylinders, But if you only knew what God 303 00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:50,000 Speaker 1: has in store, It's like you're in second year. You're 304 00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:54,159 Speaker 1: making progress, you're healthy, you're moving forward, but God is 305 00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:57,680 Speaker 1: about to shift you out a second, past third, pass 306 00:18:57,760 --> 00:19:03,159 Speaker 1: forth into overdrive to see the surpassing greatness of God's favor. 307 00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:09,080 Speaker 1: Because you've honored God living a life of excellence and integrity. 308 00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:14,160 Speaker 1: God's going to take you beyond your training, beyond your education, 309 00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:19,400 Speaker 1: beyond your income, beyond where anyone in your family has gone. 310 00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:21,800 Speaker 1: This shift is going to put you at a place 311 00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:24,520 Speaker 1: where you look back and say, Wow, God, you have 312 00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:29,239 Speaker 1: amazed me with your goodness. When the Israelites were in 313 00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:32,920 Speaker 1: the desert, headed toward the Promised Land, they had manna 314 00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:36,480 Speaker 1: to eat each day, with something like bread. After a while, 315 00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:39,560 Speaker 1: they got tired of it. They complained to Moses that 316 00:19:39,600 --> 00:19:42,840 Speaker 1: they didn't have any meat to eat. God told Moses 317 00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:45,840 Speaker 1: what the people were saying. God said, Moses, I'm going 318 00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:48,680 Speaker 1: to give you meat, not for one day, or five 319 00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:53,320 Speaker 1: days or twenty days, but for a whole month. Moses said, God, 320 00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:57,520 Speaker 1: that's impossible. There are two million people out here. Even 321 00:19:57,560 --> 00:20:00,960 Speaker 1: if we butchered all of our flocks, we wouldn't have 322 00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:05,440 Speaker 1: that much meat. God answered back, Moses, is there any 323 00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:08,919 Speaker 1: limit to my power? He was saying, just because you 324 00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:11,520 Speaker 1: don't see away, Moses, doesn't mean that I don't have 325 00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:14,439 Speaker 1: a way. All I have to do is shift a 326 00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:17,359 Speaker 1: few things around, and I can bring it to pass. 327 00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:22,520 Speaker 1: That's what God did. Numbers eleven thirty one. God shifted 328 00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:27,040 Speaker 1: the wind and brought quail in from the sea and 329 00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:31,040 Speaker 1: caused it to fall into their camp. Notice how good 330 00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:33,639 Speaker 1: God is. They didn't even have to go out and 331 00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:37,639 Speaker 1: hunt or fish. The quail came to them. They just 332 00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:39,760 Speaker 1: went out of their tent picked up as many as 333 00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:43,040 Speaker 1: they wanted. What am I saying? God knows how to 334 00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:47,640 Speaker 1: shift things so that blessings come to you. The right 335 00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:52,679 Speaker 1: people search you out, good breaks finds you. I have 336 00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:56,399 Speaker 1: a friend. He works for a professional sports team. He 337 00:20:56,520 --> 00:21:00,239 Speaker 1: wasn't raised in church and started watching our program. He 338 00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:02,960 Speaker 1: gave his life to Christ. He decided to get into 339 00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:06,400 Speaker 1: a good Bible based church. All he had were very 340 00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:11,240 Speaker 1: casual clothes, T shirts and jeans, tennis shoes. He went 341 00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:13,320 Speaker 1: to a church and they were very accepting, like ours 342 00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:16,160 Speaker 1: doesn't matter what you wear. But he had a desire 343 00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:19,280 Speaker 1: to dress up to go to church. He had never 344 00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:21,840 Speaker 1: owned a suit before. Went up to the mall and 345 00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:24,960 Speaker 1: looked at some different suits, but they were more than 346 00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:27,919 Speaker 1: he wanted to spend. He could certainly afford it. He 347 00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:31,240 Speaker 1: was just very frugal. One day he was out running 348 00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:33,960 Speaker 1: an errand and he randomly met this man. They struck 349 00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:37,320 Speaker 1: up a conversation, this man found out how my friend 350 00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:40,920 Speaker 1: worked for this professional sports team. The man told how 351 00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:43,600 Speaker 1: he loved to go to the games whenever he could 352 00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:45,840 Speaker 1: get a ticket, but most of the time they were 353 00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:49,440 Speaker 1: sold out. My friend is very generous, he said, a 354 00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:52,080 Speaker 1: lot of times I have extra tickets. I'll call you 355 00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:54,640 Speaker 1: and you can come to a game. The man attended 356 00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:58,480 Speaker 1: a game and afterwards he was thanking my friend. He said, 357 00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:00,439 Speaker 1: you've been so good to me. I want to do 358 00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:04,639 Speaker 1: something good for you. I own a clothing store. I 359 00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:08,000 Speaker 1: want to make you a custom made suit. Last time 360 00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:10,280 Speaker 1: I talked to my friend, he said, Joel, I have 361 00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:14,240 Speaker 1: sixteen custom made suits that this man has given me, 362 00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:20,320 Speaker 1: eight sports coats, a tuxedo. My whole closet is filled 363 00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:24,320 Speaker 1: with dress clothes. Friends. When you honor God, when you're 364 00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:29,040 Speaker 1: good to people, kind, compassionate, merciful, the blessings will come 365 00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:31,840 Speaker 1: looking for you, like the quail. You don't have to 366 00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:35,080 Speaker 1: go after them. God will shift things to cause the 367 00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:38,520 Speaker 1: right people to come across your path.

That word spirit in the Hebrew means breath. 372 00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:58,359 Speaker 1: It's saying it's not going to happen just by our talent, 373 00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:01,840 Speaker 1: just by our connection, just by who we know. It's 374 00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:06,520 Speaker 1: going to happen because God breathes in our direction.

The prognosis wasn't good. 389 00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:09,600 Speaker 1: He was told that with intense therapy, he might be 390 00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:12,639 Speaker 1: able to regain his speech, but he would never be 391 00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:16,000 Speaker 1: able to walk again. For two years, he had no 392 00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:18,760 Speaker 1: feeling on the left side of his body.
