But thanks for tuning in, Thanks 47 00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:13,600 Speaker 4: again for coming out. I like to start with something funny, 48 00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:16,360 Speaker 4: and I heard about this airplane that was about to crash. 49 00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:20,760 Speaker 4: And there were four passengers but only three parachutes. The 50 00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:24,959 Speaker 4: first passenger said, I'm a leading heart surgeon. My patients 51 00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:27,960 Speaker 4: need me. He took the first parachute and jumped. The 52 00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:31,320 Speaker 4: second passenger said, I'm a rocket scientist in one of 53 00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:35,239 Speaker 4: the smartest men alive. My country needs me. He took 54 00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:38,919 Speaker 4: the second parachute and jumped. The third passenger was Pope 55 00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:41,880 Speaker 4: John Paul. He said to the fourth passenger, a ten 56 00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:45,040 Speaker 4: year old boy scout, son, I'm old and frail. I 57 00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:48,160 Speaker 4: don't have much time left. You take the last parachute. 58 00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:50,960 Speaker 4: The boy scout said, don't worry about it, sir, there 59 00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:54,720 Speaker 4: are still two parachutes left. The smartest man alive, he 60 00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:56,440 Speaker 4: just jumped out with my backpack. 61 00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:01,560 Speaker 6: All right, hold up Bible, say it like you mean it. 62 00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:05,200 Speaker 6: This is my Bible. I am what it says I am. 63 00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:08,160 Speaker 6: I have what it says I have. I can do 64 00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:10,880 Speaker 6: what it says I can do. Today I will be 65 00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:14,919 Speaker 6: taught the word of God. I boldly confess. My mind 66 00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:18,360 Speaker 6: is alert, my heart is receptive. I will never be 67 00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:21,800 Speaker 6: the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you. 68 00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:25,760 Speaker 4: I want to talk to you today about increasing your 69 00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:29,840 Speaker 4: capacity to receive. God has all kinds of great things 70 00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:33,000 Speaker 4: in store for you. He has favor in your future 71 00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:37,680 Speaker 4: like you've never imagined. He's got good breaks, new opportunities, 72 00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:41,000 Speaker 4: the right people. God wants to take your places you've 73 00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:44,480 Speaker 4: never even dreamed of. But here's the key. God is 74 00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:49,400 Speaker 4: limited by our capacity to receive. For instance, if you 75 00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:53,160 Speaker 4: have a one gallon bucket, yet I have fifty gallons 76 00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:56,360 Speaker 4: to give you, the problem is not with the supply. 77 00:03:57,040 --> 00:03:59,960 Speaker 4: The problem is you don't have the capacity to receive. 78 00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:03,320 Speaker 4: If you'd get rid of that small container and get 79 00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:06,160 Speaker 4: something larger than I could give you more, It's the 80 00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:10,240 Speaker 4: same principle with God. If we think we've reached our limits, 81 00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:12,800 Speaker 4: we think the economy is too bad, we're going to 82 00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:15,520 Speaker 4: have a down year, we think we'll never get well, 83 00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:18,480 Speaker 4: that's what the medical report says, never afford the house 84 00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:21,520 Speaker 4: that we really want. It's not that God doesn't have 85 00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:24,600 Speaker 4: the resources, it's not that he doesn't have the ability. 86 00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:28,880 Speaker 4: The fact is our container is too small, our thinking 87 00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:33,360 Speaker 4: is limited. We have to enlarge our vision and make 88 00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:36,160 Speaker 4: room for the new things God wants to do. Now 89 00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:39,640 Speaker 4: our attitude should be Yes, the economy is down, but 90 00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:42,400 Speaker 4: I know God is still on the throne. I know 91 00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:46,120 Speaker 4: he still has promotion and increase already lined up for me. 92 00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:49,760 Speaker 4: I know his favor surrounds me like a shield. I 93 00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:52,560 Speaker 4: know wherever I go, goodness and mercy follow me. So 94 00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:56,440 Speaker 4: I'm believing to have an extraordinary year. When you have 95 00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:59,400 Speaker 4: that kind of attitude, what are you doing? You're increasing 96 00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:02,839 Speaker 4: your to receive. That's when you're going to see God 97 00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:07,040 Speaker 4: show up and show out in unusual ways. But some 98 00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:10,479 Speaker 4: people they go around with a small cup, so to speak. 99 00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:15,200 Speaker 4: They're not expecting much. They've always struggled. Others have traded 100 00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:18,560 Speaker 4: in their cup and they've got a bucket. They're doing okay, 101 00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:23,080 Speaker 4: they're surviving, but not planning on going much further. Still, 102 00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:25,719 Speaker 4: others they've traded in the bucket. They've stretched their faith. 103 00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:29,440 Speaker 4: They've got a barrel. They're believing to rise higher. Yet 104 00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:33,880 Speaker 4: there's one other group. This group is very unusual. These 105 00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:38,240 Speaker 4: people believe for far and beyond favor. They believe God 106 00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:41,560 Speaker 4: is going to prosper them even in a recession. They 107 00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:44,839 Speaker 4: believe their children will be mighty in the land. They're 108 00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:50,720 Speaker 4: expecting explosive blessings. They know down deep supernatural increase is coming. 109 00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:53,880 Speaker 4: So they don't have a cup, they don't have a bucket, 110 00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:56,640 Speaker 4: they don't have a barrel. They've been coming to Lakewood 111 00:05:56,680 --> 00:06:00,000 Speaker 4: too long. They've got a barn, they've got a whole warehouse. 112 00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:04,840 Speaker 4: They're expecting God to open the windows of heaven and 113 00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:11,640 Speaker 4: pour out unprecedented favor, supernatural opportunities, exponential increase, says in Psalms. 114 00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:15,479 Speaker 4: Open your mouth wide and I will feel it. My 115 00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:18,599 Speaker 4: question is do you have your mouth open wide? What 116 00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:22,119 Speaker 4: are you expecting? Well, Joel, I don't think i'll ever 117 00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:24,839 Speaker 4: meet my sales goals this year. With the economy like 118 00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:27,360 Speaker 4: it is, I don't think i'll ever get promoted. I'm 119 00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:30,000 Speaker 4: not that qualified. Don't think i'll ever get well. The 120 00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:33,840 Speaker 4: problem is your mouth is barely open. You're not expecting 121 00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:37,640 Speaker 4: good breaks. You're not expecting increase. You're not expecting God 122 00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:41,320 Speaker 4: to show up and turn it around. And unfortunately you 123 00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:45,720 Speaker 4: won't be disappointed. The scripture says Jesus said it according 124 00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:49,200 Speaker 4: to your faith, it will be done unto you. He 125 00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:51,760 Speaker 4: might as well have said, if you've got a cup, 126 00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:54,680 Speaker 4: I'll fill you with a cup. Level of blessing if 127 00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:56,480 Speaker 4: you got a bucket, I'll fill you with the bucket 128 00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:59,880 Speaker 4: level of blessing. But he's saying, if you've got a ball, 129 00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:04,240 Speaker 4: In other words, if you'll take the limits off of God, 130 00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:08,320 Speaker 4: if you'll believe for supernatural opportunities, if you'll go out 131 00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:13,040 Speaker 4: each day expecting far and beyond favor, you won't be disappointed. 132 00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:18,480 Speaker 4: Psalm thirty seven nineteen says even in famine, the righteous 133 00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:22,080 Speaker 4: will have more than enough. When you've got your mouth 134 00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:26,440 Speaker 4: open wide, you're not complaining about the economy. You're expecting 135 00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:30,320 Speaker 4: to have a supernatural year. You're expecting increase even in 136 00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:33,720 Speaker 4: the middle of a recession. Your child may be off course, 137 00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:37,080 Speaker 4: but you're not praying, Oh God, just keep him from 138 00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:40,280 Speaker 4: driving me crazy. Now you're saying, God, you said my 139 00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:42,840 Speaker 4: children will be mighty in the land, So I want 140 00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:44,880 Speaker 4: to thank you. You're not only going to turn him around, 141 00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:47,240 Speaker 4: but you're going to use him to do something great 142 00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:51,200 Speaker 4: for you. When you have your mouth open wide, you're 143 00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:54,120 Speaker 4: not just hoping to make your monthly mortgage payments. You're 144 00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:57,200 Speaker 4: believing to totally pay your house off, to live totally 145 00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:01,760 Speaker 4: debt free. That's barn level living. Let me ask you, 146 00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:04,960 Speaker 4: do you go out each day knowing that favor is 147 00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:08,520 Speaker 4: already in your future, Or have you gotten stuck in 148 00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:11,600 Speaker 4: a rug? This is what happened to the people of Israel. 149 00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:15,640 Speaker 4: They were headed toward the Promised Land. They had big goals, 150 00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:19,440 Speaker 4: big dreams. But along the way they hit some setbacks, 151 00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:23,800 Speaker 4: had some disappointments. They got so discouraged they gave up 152 00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:27,400 Speaker 4: on their dreams and just settled where they were. One day, 153 00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:31,480 Speaker 4: God said to them, you have dwelt long enough on 154 00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:34,719 Speaker 4: this mountain. I believe God is saying that to each 155 00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:37,679 Speaker 4: one of us. You've been where you are long enough. 156 00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:41,120 Speaker 4: Some of you have held that cup year after year. 157 00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:43,679 Speaker 4: It's how you were raised. It's all you've ever known. 158 00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:47,000 Speaker 4: Some of you, at one time you had your sight 159 00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:51,040 Speaker 4: set on the barn, but you had some setbacks. Now 160 00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:54,320 Speaker 4: you've just settled for that bucket. God is saying, this 161 00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:57,840 Speaker 4: is a new day. Get your fire back. Where you 162 00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:01,080 Speaker 4: are is not where you're supposed to stay. Now, I'm 163 00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:06,200 Speaker 4: asking you to increase your capacity to receive. That means 164 00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:10,160 Speaker 4: you're gonna stretch your faith. You're gonna start thinking bigger, 165 00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:14,200 Speaker 4: believing bigger. You're gonna go beyond barriers that have held 166 00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:16,920 Speaker 4: you back, and you're gonna make room for God to 167 00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:20,360 Speaker 4: do something new. I've learned you've got to give God 168 00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:24,439 Speaker 4: permission to increase you. You've got to give God permission 169 00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:28,839 Speaker 4: to prosper you. God has brought opportunities across my path 170 00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:31,840 Speaker 4: in years past that I turned down. I thought they 171 00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:35,400 Speaker 4: were too big. I didn't think I was qualified. It 172 00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:38,360 Speaker 4: was so far beyond what I thought I could handle. 173 00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:41,480 Speaker 4: I didn't even get in agreement with God and at 174 00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:45,440 Speaker 4: least release my faith for it. Now I realize I 175 00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:49,680 Speaker 4: wasn't giving God permission to prosper me. I missed those 176 00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:54,280 Speaker 4: opportunities to go further. Jesus put it like this, you 177 00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:58,480 Speaker 4: can't put new wine in old wine skins. He was saying, 178 00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:00,959 Speaker 4: you can't go to a new li level with an 179 00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:04,240 Speaker 4: old way of thinking. Many of you are ready for 180 00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:07,280 Speaker 4: God to do something new. When you hear this truth 181 00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:09,760 Speaker 4: that it's gonna be a great year, that God has 182 00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:14,120 Speaker 4: more in store, something resonates on the inside. That's your 183 00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:18,800 Speaker 4: spirit person coming into agreement with God. But very often 184 00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:21,920 Speaker 4: our natural mind will try to talk us out of it. 185 00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:25,040 Speaker 4: Your mind will tell you it's not gonna happen for you. 186 00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:26,800 Speaker 4: You're not gonna have a great year. You know what 187 00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:29,720 Speaker 4: the economy is like. Or you're never gonna get well. 188 00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:32,480 Speaker 4: You saw what the medical report says. You're never gonna 189 00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:35,760 Speaker 4: get married. You've been single so long, Just accept it. No, 190 00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:39,520 Speaker 4: get rid of that old wine skin. Trade in that 191 00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:44,000 Speaker 4: small container for something larger. This is a new season. 192 00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:48,200 Speaker 4: What's happened in the past is over and done. You 193 00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:51,600 Speaker 4: may have been through some disappointments, tried, failed, it didn't 194 00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:55,040 Speaker 4: work out. That's okay. God is still in control. Get 195 00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:59,080 Speaker 4: a new vision for your life. Have the attitude. This 196 00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:02,040 Speaker 4: is my year to go to a new level. This 197 00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:05,000 Speaker 4: is my year to be totally healthy. This is my 198 00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:07,920 Speaker 4: year to meet the person of my dreams. If you 199 00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:11,199 Speaker 4: open your mouth wide, God said he will fill it. 200 00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:14,600 Speaker 4: But it starts right here with us, with our capacity 201 00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:18,920 Speaker 4: to receive. We cannot go around thinking thoughts of mediocrity 202 00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:22,720 Speaker 4: and expect to excel. We can't think thoughts of defeat 203 00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:26,000 Speaker 4: and barely get by. Help me to survive and at 204 00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:29,599 Speaker 4: the same time expect God to fill us with abundance. 205 00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:32,800 Speaker 4: The two don't go together. Get rid of that cup, 206 00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:36,040 Speaker 4: trade in that bucket, throw away that barrel, and come 207 00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:40,440 Speaker 4: over to the barn level God is a god of abundance, 208 00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:43,439 Speaker 4: and it says in Psalm one point fifteen, the Lord 209 00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:48,240 Speaker 4: your God will increase you and your family more and more. 210 00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:52,640 Speaker 4: Increase has always been on God's mind. His dream is 211 00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:55,920 Speaker 4: that we never get stuck at one level. In fact, 212 00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:59,360 Speaker 4: Jesus said he came that we might have life to 213 00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:03,640 Speaker 4: the full in abundance till it overflows. You need to 214 00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:05,680 Speaker 4: get that on the inside. Here's why I'm headed three 215 00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:10,160 Speaker 4: places to a full life and abundant life and overflowing life. 216 00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:13,720 Speaker 4: And if you'll stay in faith, no matter what container 217 00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:16,439 Speaker 4: you put out there, God will cause it to overflow. 218 00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:19,520 Speaker 4: I remember when I wrote my first book, Your Best 219 00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:22,800 Speaker 4: Life Now, before it came out, I would pray, God, 220 00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:26,520 Speaker 4: if you'll just let this sell fifty thousand copies. That 221 00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:29,040 Speaker 4: was so big in my mind. I was stretching my faith. 222 00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:32,480 Speaker 4: And at that time we had about twenty thousand people 223 00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:34,720 Speaker 4: coming each weekend, and I thought, if each one of 224 00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:37,320 Speaker 4: you would buy one copy, that would be about half 225 00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:39,720 Speaker 4: of the fifty Then I'll get my family and friends 226 00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:44,120 Speaker 4: and neighbors. But God likes to do exceedingly abundantly above 227 00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:48,600 Speaker 4: and beyond. He is a god of overflow that book 228 00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:51,160 Speaker 4: went on to sell more than one hundred times that 229 00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:55,000 Speaker 4: fifty thousand. I've learned now, if you'll start higher, God 230 00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:58,240 Speaker 4: will still cause it to overflow. It's great to overflow 231 00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:01,079 Speaker 4: with a cup, it's exciting over flow with a bucket 232 00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:04,000 Speaker 4: or a barrel. But when you put that barn level 233 00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:06,480 Speaker 4: of faith out there, that's when you'll see God do 234 00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:09,440 Speaker 4: more than you can ask or think. That's when you'll 235 00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:12,520 Speaker 4: see God open up doors that you thought were impossible. 236 00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:16,200 Speaker 4: What happened You stretched your faith and that allowed God 237 00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:19,800 Speaker 4: to pour out his far and beyond favor. Now I 238 00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:22,360 Speaker 4: want you to get a bigger vision for your life. 239 00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:27,040 Speaker 4: It says in Proverbs twenty nine, verse eighteen, if people 240 00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:32,280 Speaker 4: can't see what God is doing, they stumble. In other words, 241 00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:35,360 Speaker 4: if you don't have this vision for increase, if you're 242 00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:38,680 Speaker 4: not expecting favor, you've just kind of gotten satisfied with 243 00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:42,600 Speaker 4: where you are, then you will live below your privileges. 244 00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:46,040 Speaker 4: But if you will get a vision not of only 245 00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:49,080 Speaker 4: who you are a child of the most time, but 246 00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:52,640 Speaker 4: a vision of what you're entitled to, and you go 247 00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:58,160 Speaker 4: out expecting supernatural opportunities in favor. It goes on to say, 248 00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:01,400 Speaker 4: if you can see what God has has revealed, you 249 00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:06,200 Speaker 4: will be the most blessed. Notice not average blessed, not 250 00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:09,920 Speaker 4: good enough blessed. As a child of the Most High, 251 00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:14,000 Speaker 4: you are entitled to be the most blessed. Well, you say, Joel, 252 00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:16,760 Speaker 4: I never get any good breaks. I don't think I'll 253 00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:18,800 Speaker 4: ever be able to pay my house off, never get 254 00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:22,200 Speaker 4: out of debt, never get well. No, your vision is limited. 255 00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:26,560 Speaker 4: I'm trying to help you today understand the great things 256 00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:30,280 Speaker 4: God has in store, the amazing places He's going to 257 00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:34,160 Speaker 4: take you, the incredible opportunities he has in your future, 258 00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:39,040 Speaker 4: because I know if your vision increases, then your capacity 259 00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:42,880 Speaker 4: to receive will increase, and that's when the Most High 260 00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:46,160 Speaker 4: will pour out blessings to where you say, I am 261 00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:49,040 Speaker 4: not a little blessed, I'm not average blessed. I have 262 00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:53,240 Speaker 4: to say I am most blessed. Well, you say, Joel, 263 00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:57,280 Speaker 4: are you one of those prosperity ministers. No, I'm not 264 00:14:57,320 --> 00:15:00,320 Speaker 4: a prosperity minister. But I can tell you this, I 265 00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:06,320 Speaker 4: am not a poverty ministry. I cannot. I cannot find 266 00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:09,640 Speaker 4: one place in the scripture where we're supposed to drag 267 00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:14,080 Speaker 4: around defeated, depressed, barely making it always just scraping by. 268 00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:17,640 Speaker 4: It is just the opposite. You remember those three things, 269 00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:22,480 Speaker 4: an abundant life and overflowing life, a full life. You 270 00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:25,360 Speaker 4: and I are supposed to be examples of what it 271 00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:28,160 Speaker 4: means to live for the true and the living God. 272 00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:32,840 Speaker 4: Everywhere we go, we should be so blessed. We should 273 00:15:32,840 --> 00:15:36,400 Speaker 4: look so good, so sharp, We should be so kind, 274 00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:40,080 Speaker 4: so friendly, so generous. People think, Man, what is it 275 00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:43,720 Speaker 4: with them? They always look good, They're always friendly, They're 276 00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:46,720 Speaker 4: always in a good mood. People should want what we have. 277 00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:50,920 Speaker 4: If I brought our two children up here today, their 278 00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:54,520 Speaker 4: clothes were all raggedy, holds in their pants, nothing's iron, 279 00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:58,520 Speaker 4: hair's messed up, long, drab faces. First thing you'd think 280 00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:02,280 Speaker 4: is man a father? Is he? Why would he let 281 00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:04,960 Speaker 4: his kids go around looking like that? It's a poor 282 00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:09,280 Speaker 4: reflection on me. It's the same thing with our God. 283 00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:12,320 Speaker 4: It doesn't bring him any honor when we think we're 284 00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:16,200 Speaker 4: supposed to go around defeated, depressed, barely getting by. No 285 00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:20,960 Speaker 4: matter where you are, no matter what level you're at, 286 00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:24,560 Speaker 4: you need to put your shoulders back, hold your head 287 00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:27,560 Speaker 4: up high, put a smile on your face, carry yourself 288 00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:30,840 Speaker 4: with confidence. You're a child of the most high God. 289 00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:33,880 Speaker 4: You may only have one suit, one dress, one outfit. 290 00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:36,360 Speaker 4: You need to clean it, iron it, and wear it 291 00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:40,200 Speaker 4: like you're on top of the world. And it says 292 00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:45,200 Speaker 4: here in Romans five seventeen, we are to reign in 293 00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:49,360 Speaker 4: life as kings. When God looks at us, he doesn't 294 00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:54,560 Speaker 4: see us defeated, barely getting by. Just take the leftover positions. 295 00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:58,040 Speaker 4: Not at all. God sees you as a king, He 296 00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:01,440 Speaker 4: sees you as a queen. You have his royal blood 297 00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:04,840 Speaker 4: flowing through your veins. You and I are supposed to 298 00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:08,119 Speaker 4: reign in life. You know what that word reign means. 299 00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:12,639 Speaker 4: It means your time in power. God said we're to 300 00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:16,840 Speaker 4: reign how long in life. That means as long as 301 00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:20,360 Speaker 4: you're alive. That is your time in power. You don't 302 00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:22,680 Speaker 4: have a two year term like a mayor a four 303 00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:26,200 Speaker 4: year term like a president. Your term is to reign 304 00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:30,720 Speaker 4: every single day, to be victorious, to rise to new levels, 305 00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:34,840 Speaker 4: to accomplish great things. And on those days where you 306 00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:38,000 Speaker 4: don't feel like a king, you don't feel like a queen. 307 00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:41,400 Speaker 4: If you can just remember to reach down and check 308 00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:44,720 Speaker 4: your pulse, and as long as you feel something beating, 309 00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:47,639 Speaker 4: you can say, what do you know it's still my 310 00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:51,360 Speaker 4: time to reign. Let that be a reminder to put 311 00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:54,560 Speaker 4: on a new attitude. And sometimes you have to do 312 00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:58,480 Speaker 4: this by faith. You may not feel victorious, it may 313 00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:01,600 Speaker 4: not look like you're blessed, But I like what somebody says. 314 00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:05,359 Speaker 4: You got to fake it until you make it. By faith. 315 00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:08,520 Speaker 4: You need to walk like a king, talk like a king, 316 00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:12,240 Speaker 4: Think like a king, Dress like a king, Smile like 317 00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:15,080 Speaker 4: a king. Don't go by what you see, go by 318 00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:19,119 Speaker 4: what you know. There is royalty in your dna. You 319 00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:21,879 Speaker 4: have the blood of a winter. You were created to 320 00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:27,240 Speaker 4: reign in life. Too many people are living below their privileges. 321 00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:33,200 Speaker 4: It's because their vision has been clouded by past mistakes, disappointments. 322 00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:36,760 Speaker 4: How they were raised. They don't feel like royalty. They 323 00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:40,399 Speaker 4: don't think they could be successful, really accomplish what God's 324 00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:43,960 Speaker 4: put in their heart. But I believe today as I'm 325 00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:48,600 Speaker 4: speaking faith into you, something's happening on the inside. New 326 00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:52,400 Speaker 4: seeds are taken root. Strong holds that may have kept 327 00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:55,240 Speaker 4: you back for years even right now, are being broken. 328 00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:58,160 Speaker 4: You need to rise up and say that's it. I'm 329 00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:01,199 Speaker 4: not settling where I am. I know it's still my 330 00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:03,879 Speaker 4: time of power. Yes, i may have taken a break 331 00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:06,360 Speaker 4: for a little while, but I've got an announcement. I'm 332 00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:09,440 Speaker 4: coming back. I'm gonna start stepping up to who God 333 00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:13,400 Speaker 4: created me to be. When you really understand your God 334 00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:16,680 Speaker 4: given possession, the fact that you were created to raign 335 00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:21,000 Speaker 4: and it's still your time of power, those negative mindsets 336 00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:25,639 Speaker 4: cannot stay. As you renew your mind, a transformation is 337 00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:30,080 Speaker 4: taking place. Your vision is increasing today. I believe even 338 00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:33,080 Speaker 4: right now, you are making room for God to do more. 339 00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:36,800 Speaker 4: The good news is God is ready to pour out more. 340 00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:40,280 Speaker 4: Doesn't matter what's happened in the past. What matters is 341 00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:44,600 Speaker 4: your future. Don't live below your privileges. You were not 342 00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:48,040 Speaker 4: created to be averaged. God put a crown of favor 343 00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:51,199 Speaker 4: on your head. He has destined you to do great things. 344 00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:53,880 Speaker 4: You may not have seen it yet, but if you'll 345 00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:56,639 Speaker 4: stay in faith and make room for it. The Most 346 00:19:56,720 --> 00:19:59,320 Speaker 4: High says you're going to be the most blessed. You're 347 00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:02,959 Speaker 4: gonna have the most peace, the most friends, the most fulfillment, 348 00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:07,200 Speaker 4: the most resources, the most wisdom, the most opportunity. Most 349 00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:10,720 Speaker 4: blessed means you will not lack in any good area. 350 00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:13,000 Speaker 4: And some of you today you just need to give 351 00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:17,080 Speaker 4: God permission to increase you. You have given, you have served, 352 00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:20,399 Speaker 4: you've honored him. The only thing that's holding you back 353 00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:24,679 Speaker 4: is a limited mindset. Maybe you've tried and struggled and 354 00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:27,120 Speaker 4: it didn't work out, or I don't know. I talk 355 00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:29,280 Speaker 4: to people that they don't feel like they deserve to 356 00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:31,680 Speaker 4: be blessed because of past mistake. But you've got to 357 00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:35,000 Speaker 4: shake all of that off. Dare to believe. Get rid 358 00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:37,679 Speaker 4: of that cup, get rid of the bucket, get rid 359 00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:41,800 Speaker 4: of the barrel. God has a barnload full of blessings 360 00:20:41,960 --> 00:20:44,280 Speaker 4: in store for each one of you. This is what 361 00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:47,159 Speaker 4: my father had to do. Daddy was raised in an 362 00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:51,280 Speaker 4: extremely poor environment. That's all he had ever known, and 363 00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:56,360 Speaker 4: he developed this limited mindset. Really, it was a poverty mentality. 364 00:20:56,640 --> 00:21:00,000 Speaker 4: It had been ingrained in him. He loved God and 365 00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:03,320 Speaker 4: he was a good person, but early on he didn't 366 00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:07,080 Speaker 4: have any vision for increase. He thought barely getting by 367 00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:10,359 Speaker 4: and struggling was just his lot in life. He didn't 368 00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:12,560 Speaker 4: want to complain about it, so he just accepted it. 369 00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:16,520 Speaker 4: When he first started pastoring, this was more than sixty 370 00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:19,679 Speaker 4: years ago. One week, he and my mother kept a 371 00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:23,400 Speaker 4: guest minister in their home and Sunday, after the service, 372 00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:26,280 Speaker 4: a business person came up and said, Pastor, I know 373 00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:29,119 Speaker 4: you've had a lot of extra expenses this week keeping 374 00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:31,520 Speaker 4: our special guess, so I would like you to have 375 00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:35,400 Speaker 4: this thousand dollars check. That would be like somebody giving 376 00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:39,200 Speaker 4: you twenty thousand dollars a day. My father nearly passed out. 377 00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:42,640 Speaker 4: He had never had anybody give him anything like that. 378 00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:46,399 Speaker 4: In fact, his first offering was only twenty five cents. 379 00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:49,040 Speaker 4: He and my mother they were making one hundred and 380 00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:53,280 Speaker 4: seventeen dollars a week, barely scraping by, trying to raise 381 00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:56,680 Speaker 4: their children. And you would have thought my father would 382 00:21:56,680 --> 00:22:00,280 Speaker 4: have been thrilled, so happy, just thanking God. It was 383 00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:05,399 Speaker 4: just the opposite. His capacity to receive was limited. He 384 00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:08,960 Speaker 4: had embraced that little cup for so long. He could 385 00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:12,800 Speaker 4: not fathom having a bucket or a barrel, much less 386 00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:16,160 Speaker 4: a barn. Here God was trying to do something new. 387 00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:19,320 Speaker 4: God was trying to expand him. But he had that 388 00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:23,840 Speaker 4: old wine skin. That gentleman handed him the check. Daddy 389 00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:26,520 Speaker 4: took it by the corner, the very tip, like there 390 00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:29,560 Speaker 4: was something wrong with it, like it was poisoned. He said, 391 00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:33,440 Speaker 4: oh no, brother, I could never receive this for myself, 392 00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:37,360 Speaker 4: I must put it in the church treasury. He walked over, 393 00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:40,120 Speaker 4: and he said, when he dropped it in the offering 394 00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:42,920 Speaker 4: play right, when he let it go, he felt sick 395 00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:47,199 Speaker 4: to his stomach. Why was that? God has put something 396 00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:49,879 Speaker 4: on the inside of every one of us that says 397 00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:53,639 Speaker 4: we're supposed to be blessed, We're supposed to rise higher, 398 00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:57,880 Speaker 4: We're supposed to leave an inheritance to our children's children. 399 00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:02,640 Speaker 4: My father eventually learned this truth. He shook off that 400 00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:07,320 Speaker 4: poverty mindset, and he began to increase his capacity to receive. 401 00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:10,520 Speaker 4: He inherited a cup, but he got rid of it 402 00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:12,920 Speaker 4: and put a bucket out there. God filled it up. 403 00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:16,360 Speaker 4: He put a barrel out God increased him. He developed 404 00:23:16,359 --> 00:23:20,840 Speaker 4: this more than enough, this barn level mentality. We wouldn't 405 00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:23,280 Speaker 4: be here today if he hadn't been willing to break 406 00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:26,560 Speaker 4: out of that rut. Your relatives may have handed you 407 00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:30,679 Speaker 4: a cup, maybe your parents, the people you grew up with, 408 00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:33,240 Speaker 4: they just handed you that cup. But that does not 409 00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:36,040 Speaker 4: have to set the limits for your life. You need 410 00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:38,600 Speaker 4: to draw the line in the sand and say where 411 00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:41,280 Speaker 4: I am is not where I'm staying. I may have 412 00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:44,080 Speaker 4: been handed this cup, but I'm trading it in, not 413 00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:46,840 Speaker 4: for a bucket, not for a barrel. I'm going for 414 00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:50,320 Speaker 4: the gold. I've got my sight set on that barn. Now, 415 00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:54,280 Speaker 4: as you increase your capacity to receive, just like with 416 00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:57,520 Speaker 4: my father, God is going to open up supernatural doors. 417 00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:00,600 Speaker 4: He's going to give you new ideas. He's going to 418 00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:02,960 Speaker 4: bring tallet out of you that you didn't even know 419 00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:07,120 Speaker 4: you had. Don't live with a narrow vision. Don't think 420 00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:10,000 Speaker 4: that you've reached your limits. You would not be alive 421 00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:13,640 Speaker 4: if God didn't have increase in your future. Get rid 422 00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:16,880 Speaker 4: of that old wine skin. You may have had victories 423 00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:20,040 Speaker 4: in your past, but you haven't seen anything yet. You 424 00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:22,959 Speaker 4: haven't touched the surface of what God has in store. 425 00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:26,679 Speaker 4: He has levels of blessings in your future that are 426 00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:30,040 Speaker 4: going to amaze you. It's like this little frog I 427 00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:32,960 Speaker 4: heard about. He was born at the bottom of a well. 428 00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:36,080 Speaker 4: It was just a small circular well like you'd see 429 00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:39,359 Speaker 4: at a typical rural area farm, and just he and 430 00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:42,560 Speaker 4: his family lived there. He was so content every day 431 00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:46,200 Speaker 4: to splash around and to play in the well. He thought, 432 00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:50,000 Speaker 4: life is good. We've got all the water in the 433 00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:53,280 Speaker 4: world to ourselves. It just doesn't get any better than this. 434 00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:56,440 Speaker 4: But as he got a little older, he noticed the 435 00:24:56,520 --> 00:24:58,960 Speaker 4: light at the top of the well. He wondered what 436 00:24:59,119 --> 00:25:01,639 Speaker 4: was up there. One day he got his confidence up 437 00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:04,720 Speaker 4: and he climbed the side of the well very cautiously. 438 00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:07,199 Speaker 4: When he got to the top, he peered over the 439 00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:11,359 Speaker 4: edge lo and behold, the first thing he saw was 440 00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:15,080 Speaker 4: a pond. He couldn't believe it. It was thousands of 441 00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:18,399 Speaker 4: times bigger than what he had. He hopped a little further, 442 00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:22,440 Speaker 4: and he came to a lake. He stood there in amazement. 443 00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:26,200 Speaker 4: Hopped a little bit further. Eventually he came to the ocean. 444 00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:29,800 Speaker 4: He looked left and right, as far as he could see, 445 00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:33,439 Speaker 4: for miles and miles there was water. He began to 446 00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:37,680 Speaker 4: realize how limited his thinking was. He thought he had 447 00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:41,040 Speaker 4: it all, but all he really had was a drop 448 00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:44,200 Speaker 4: in the bucket compared to what God wanted him to enjoy. 449 00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:48,560 Speaker 4: And in the same way, God's dream for your life 450 00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:51,879 Speaker 4: is so much bigger, so much better than you can 451 00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:55,760 Speaker 4: even imagine. If God showed you what he had in store, 452 00:25:56,119 --> 00:25:59,280 Speaker 4: it would boggle your mind. But so many times we're 453 00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:03,760 Speaker 4: like this little. Our thinking is limited. We've been enclosed 454 00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:07,160 Speaker 4: in our environment. All we've known is a certain level 455 00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:10,359 Speaker 4: of living, a certain way of thinking. Too often we 456 00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:13,720 Speaker 4: get satisfied, think well, this is just my lot in life. 457 00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:17,600 Speaker 4: But could it be that God has oceans for you 458 00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:21,439 Speaker 4: to enjoy, but you're staying in a little pond thinking 459 00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:23,960 Speaker 4: that you have it all. Could it be that you've 460 00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:27,280 Speaker 4: got a cup mentality? And yet God is standing over 461 00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:30,080 Speaker 4: by a big barn that has your name on it. 462 00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:33,760 Speaker 4: I'm asking you to go a little further than you're 463 00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:36,720 Speaker 4: used to going. Dare to do like that little frog 464 00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:40,159 Speaker 4: and look out over the edge. Get a bigger vision 465 00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:44,199 Speaker 4: for your life, believe for bigger things. Your best days 466 00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:46,840 Speaker 4: are not in your past, they are still in your future. 467 00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:51,120 Speaker 4: It says in Psalm thirty five twenty seven let them 468 00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:56,359 Speaker 4: say continually, let the Lord be magnified, who takes pleasure 469 00:26:56,680 --> 00:27:00,439 Speaker 4: in the prosperity of his children. Notice they were supposed 470 00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:03,919 Speaker 4: to go around saying this, Let God be magnified, he 471 00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:08,359 Speaker 4: takes pleasure in prospering me. I believe one reason they 472 00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:10,920 Speaker 4: were supposed to say it all the time was because 473 00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:13,840 Speaker 4: God knows. When we hear something long enough, it gets 474 00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:16,879 Speaker 4: down on the inside we start to believe it. It 475 00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:20,440 Speaker 4: starts to affect our vision. All through the day, they 476 00:27:20,520 --> 00:27:24,840 Speaker 4: heard themselves declaring favor over their lives, saying God takes 477 00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:28,480 Speaker 4: pleasure in prospering me. They were saying, in effect, I'm 478 00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:31,560 Speaker 4: coming up higher, I'm coming out of debt. New doors 479 00:27:31,560 --> 00:27:35,399 Speaker 4: are opening. God is restoring my marriage, my health is improving. 480 00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:39,720 Speaker 4: What were they doing, They were increasing their capacity to receive. 481 00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:42,520 Speaker 4: We got to do the same thing. Speak that favor 482 00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:45,240 Speaker 4: over your life. Somebody asks you how you're doing, No 483 00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:47,320 Speaker 4: matter how you feel, you need to tell them, I 484 00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:50,680 Speaker 4: am blessed and highly favored, and you muy as well. 485 00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:54,040 Speaker 4: Add and I'm going to have a supernatural year. Friends, 486 00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:57,520 Speaker 4: God takes pleasure in prospering you. Will you get this 487 00:27:57,680 --> 00:28:00,600 Speaker 4: down in your spirit? God wants you to write higher. 488 00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:03,760 Speaker 4: Some of you are stuck in a rut. Maybe like 489 00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:07,679 Speaker 4: my father, you come from generations of lack and constantly struggling. 490 00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:10,840 Speaker 4: You're just about to accept that's the way it's always 491 00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:12,960 Speaker 4: going to be. Now you've got to get rid of 492 00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:16,640 Speaker 4: that old mindset. Make a decision. Today. You're coming out 493 00:28:16,680 --> 00:28:19,160 Speaker 4: of the well, coming out of the pond, coming out 494 00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:21,520 Speaker 4: of the lake, and you're headed straight toward the ocean. 495 00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:24,560 Speaker 4: You're going to enjoy the fullness of what God has 496 00:28:24,600 --> 00:28:28,360 Speaker 4: in store. Remember you've been created to rain. You are 497 00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:31,080 Speaker 4: a king, you are a queen, and your time of 498 00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:34,720 Speaker 4: power is still in session.
