Speaker 2: But thanks so much for tuning in, and thank you

13
00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:31,000
Speaker 2: again for coming out today. And I like to start

14
00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:34,320
Speaker 2: with something funny. I heard about this family that lived

15
00:00:34,479 --> 00:00:38,720
Speaker 2: way out in the backwoods. They never left their little town,

16
00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:42,400
Speaker 2: never watched television, never listen to the radio, And one

17
00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:45,400
Speaker 2: day they decided to take a vacation to New York City.

18
00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:48,480
Speaker 2: The first day, the father took his son to see

19
00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:52,880
Speaker 2: a famous skyscraper. They were so impressed. They were especially

20
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:55,640
Speaker 2: intrigued by the elevator. They didn't know what it was.

21
00:00:56,400 --> 00:01:00,200
Speaker 1: This older woman walked up and punched the button. The

22
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:01,400
Speaker 1: walls opened up.

23
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:05,039
Speaker 2: She stepped into this little room and the walls close back.

24
00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:08,560
Speaker 2: They sat there contemplating what they had just seen a

25
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:11,679
Speaker 2: few seconds later, the same walls opened back up and

26
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:17,040
Speaker 2: outstep this beautiful twenty four year old woman. Almost in disbelief.

27
00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:20,039
Speaker 2: The son said, Dad, what just happened? The dad said, I.

28
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:24,039
Speaker 1: Don't know, son, but go get your mother. Hold up

29
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:24,680
Speaker 1: your bibles.

30
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:27,160
Speaker 2: Say it like you mean it. This is my Bible.

31
00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:29,720
Speaker 2: I am what it says I am. I have what

32
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:32,160
Speaker 2: it says I have. I can do what it says

33
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:34,800
Speaker 2: I can do. Today I will be taught the word

34
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:38,800
Speaker 2: of God. I boldly confess. My mind is alert, my

35
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:43,000
Speaker 2: heart is receptive. I will never be the same. In Jesus' name,

36
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:46,640
Speaker 2: God bless you. I want to talk to you about

37
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:51,080
Speaker 2: today is your day. A lot of times we have

38
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 2: faith for the future. We believe one day we'll get

39
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:58,200
Speaker 2: a good break, one day we'll feel better, one day

40
00:01:58,240 --> 00:01:59,160
Speaker 2: the problem.

41
00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:00,040
Speaker 1: Will turn around.

42
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:03,520
Speaker 2: And if we're not careful, we're always putting our faith off,

43
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:07,520
Speaker 2: believing that in the future something good is going to happen.

44
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:12,280
Speaker 2: But true faith is always in the present. God is

45
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:15,639
Speaker 2: called the Great. I am not the great.

46
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:16,000
Speaker 1: I will be.

47
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:19,360
Speaker 2: He wants to show you his goodness, his favor, his

48
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:23,120
Speaker 2: mercy today. And if this is going to happen, you

49
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 2: can't just have faith for the future. You have to

50
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:29,959
Speaker 2: believe today is my day. This could be the day

51
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:32,840
Speaker 2: my health improves. This could be the day I get

52
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 2: the phone call I've been waiting for it. This could

53
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:38,160
Speaker 2: be the day my child comes back home. There has

54
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:41,880
Speaker 2: to be an expectancy that something good is.

55
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:42,600
Speaker 1: Going to happen.

56
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:46,120
Speaker 2: Not next week, not next year, not in the sweet

57
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:50,120
Speaker 2: by and bye. No, Today, I could be promoted. Today,

58
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:53,800
Speaker 2: I could break this addiction. Today, I could get a.

59
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:55,799
Speaker 1: Contract on the house I've been trying to sell.

60
00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:59,679
Speaker 2: Today I could meet the person of my dreams.

61
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:03,440
Speaker 1: You don't know it could happen before you leave this auditorium.

62
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:05,040
Speaker 1: Quit looking around.

63
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:09,240
Speaker 2: When we get up in the morning, we should make

64
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:13,960
Speaker 2: the declaration something good is going to happen to me today.

65
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:16,040
Speaker 2: You need to set the tone at the start of

66
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:18,680
Speaker 2: the day. You may have been dealing with the problem

67
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:22,799
Speaker 2: for twenty years. Your attitude should be today. I'm expecting

68
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:26,680
Speaker 2: it to turn around today. I'm expecting good breaks to

69
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:31,000
Speaker 2: chase me down. Today, I'm expecting to see God's goodness.

70
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 2: When you have this expectancy, this now faith, then God

71
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:40,080
Speaker 2: will do things suddenly. Suddenly you get the break you

72
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:44,640
Speaker 2: need Suddenly you feel better, Suddenly your marriage is restored.

73
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 2: God has some suddenlyes in store for you. And Second

74
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 2: Corinthian sixth says, now is the time for God's favor.

75
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:57,080
Speaker 2: God wants to do something amazing in your life now.

76
00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:00,360
Speaker 2: And some of you believe that God's I'm going to

77
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 2: do something good one day.

78
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:03,760
Speaker 1: You got big dreams.

79
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:06,960
Speaker 2: You know one day you'll meet the right person, one

80
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 2: day you'll get that break.

81
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:09,600
Speaker 1: And that's fine.

82
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:12,760
Speaker 2: But I'm asking you to get out of a one

83
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:17,279
Speaker 2: day mentality and come over to a today mentality. If

84
00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:20,240
Speaker 2: God can do it one day, he can do it today.

85
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:22,960
Speaker 1: If he can do it in the future, he could

86
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:24,719
Speaker 1: just as easily do it now.

87
00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 2: And I realize there's a perfect timing. God knows when it's.

88
00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 1: Best for us.

89
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:34,360
Speaker 2: But what if the reason it's not happening is because

90
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:38,479
Speaker 2: we're not releasing our faith for today. When you have

91
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:42,920
Speaker 2: this attitude, today is my day God, I believe right

92
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:45,800
Speaker 2: now you're at work in my life. Right now, you're

93
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:48,680
Speaker 2: lining up the right people, right now, you're making my

94
00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:52,440
Speaker 2: cooked places straight, right now, you're fighting my battles for me.

95
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:56,560
Speaker 2: When you have this right now faith, this today is

96
00:04:56,640 --> 00:05:00,560
Speaker 2: my day. Faith, That's when you'll see not the great

97
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:02,840
Speaker 2: I will be, but the great I.

98
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:05,080
Speaker 1: Am show up and do amazing things.

99
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:09,000
Speaker 2: That's when you'll see suddenly's in your own life. But

100
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:12,599
Speaker 2: too many people live with this one day mentality. The

101
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:15,880
Speaker 2: problem with one day is it's always in the future.

102
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:19,960
Speaker 2: What if God answered your prayer and said, Okay, one day,

103
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:20,880
Speaker 2: I'm going to do it.

104
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 1: Next month rose around.

105
00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:27,800
Speaker 2: God says one day, next year, one day, twenty years

106
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:31,000
Speaker 2: from now, one day, friends, one day never comes.

107
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:32,760
Speaker 1: It's always tomorrow.

108
00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:36,279
Speaker 2: Why don't you have a boldness to say, God, I

109
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:40,080
Speaker 2: believe today is my day. Today I will see your

110
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:43,799
Speaker 2: favor today. This problem will start to turn around. Today,

111
00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 2: I'll meet the right person.

112
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:47,279
Speaker 1: This is what David did.

113
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:50,359
Speaker 2: Said in Psalm one eighteen, this is the day the

114
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:51,320
Speaker 2: Lord has made.

115
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:55,280
Speaker 1: He was making this same declaration. Today is my day.

116
00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:59,560
Speaker 2: I'm expecting something good to happen to me. We see

117
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:02,919
Speaker 2: his adamude in the next verse. He said, Oh Lord,

118
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:09,320
Speaker 2: I beseech you send prosperity. Now he could have said, God,

119
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:13,240
Speaker 2: please send your favor next week or next month when

120
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:15,160
Speaker 2: my bills are due, or God at the end of

121
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:17,520
Speaker 2: the year, at least when I have to pay my taxes. No,

122
00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:21,279
Speaker 2: David didn't have a one day mentality. He had a

123
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:27,360
Speaker 2: right now mentality. He had the boldness the audacity to say, God,

124
00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:32,120
Speaker 2: I'm asking you to do it today. Have you ever

125
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:35,360
Speaker 2: asked God to do something now to show.

126
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:39,159
Speaker 1: You his favor today? Well, Joel, I wouldn't be that bald,

127
00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:41,039
Speaker 1: that presumptuous. That wouldn't be right.

128
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:44,680
Speaker 2: David did it, and he's called a man after God's

129
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:48,719
Speaker 2: own heart. The scripture says, we have not because we

130
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:52,960
Speaker 2: ask not. Sometimes we're too passive, we're too timid, we

131
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:55,320
Speaker 2: don't want to be pushy, seem like that.

132
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:55,800
Speaker 1: We're proud.

133
00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:59,080
Speaker 2: But when you have this boldness to say, like David,

134
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:05,040
Speaker 2: God do it today, heal me today, restore me today,

135
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:08,880
Speaker 2: show me your favor today. God doesn't say, who do

136
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:10,960
Speaker 2: you think you are? Get back down in your place.

137
00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:15,720
Speaker 2: It's just the opposite. Your faith gets God's attention. One

138
00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:18,840
Speaker 2: time Jesus was walking through a town. This man came

139
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:22,960
Speaker 2: up and said, my assistant at home he's like my son.

140
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:26,800
Speaker 2: He's very, very sick. Jesus, would you please pray for him.

141
00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:31,119
Speaker 2: Jesus said yes, I'll come to your house. The man said,

142
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:34,400
Speaker 2: I'm a captain in the army. I have a lot

143
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:38,440
Speaker 2: of authority when I speak. My soldiers obey me. You

144
00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:41,440
Speaker 2: don't need to come to my house. Just speak the

145
00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:45,840
Speaker 2: word and my assistant will be healed. This man had

146
00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:51,280
Speaker 2: now faith. He believed that today is my day. Like David,

147
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:55,800
Speaker 2: he was saying, Lord, send healing. Now. Jesus didn't get

148
00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:59,080
Speaker 2: offended and say you got a lot of nerve asking

149
00:07:59,120 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 2: me to do it right now.

150
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:00,360
Speaker 1: Now.

151
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:04,160
Speaker 2: Now, Jesus looked at the man and said, I haven't

152
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:07,640
Speaker 2: seen this much faith in all of Israel. You can

153
00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:12,160
Speaker 2: go back home. Your assistant will be perfectly well. That's

154
00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:15,280
Speaker 2: what happens when you have the boldness to say, God

155
00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:19,480
Speaker 2: do it today, you will seize some suddenlyies in your life.

156
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:22,440
Speaker 2: And some of you have been praying by the situation

157
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:25,440
Speaker 2: for a long time. You know one day God's gonna

158
00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:28,800
Speaker 2: work it out. You've got to come over into now faith.

159
00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:33,480
Speaker 2: Dare to say, God, heal me, now, deliver me, now

160
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:36,839
Speaker 2: bring my child back home. Now, God show me the

161
00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:41,200
Speaker 2: abundance of rain. Now, God has now blessings for you.

162
00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:46,439
Speaker 2: But you have to be bold enough to have now faith. Well, Joel,

163
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 2: what if I do this and get my hopes up.

164
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:52,360
Speaker 2: I believe today is my day, and it doesn't happen,

165
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:55,520
Speaker 2: then I'll go to bed, all discourage, all disappointed. No,

166
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:58,439
Speaker 2: that's the wrong approach. You should go to bed saying Father,

167
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:02,160
Speaker 2: thank you. Now I know I'm one step closer to

168
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:04,720
Speaker 2: seeing it come to pass. You get up in the

169
00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:08,280
Speaker 2: next morning, be bold enough to say it again, Lord,

170
00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:12,920
Speaker 2: sin favor today. See, I'm not talking about something that

171
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:15,520
Speaker 2: you try for a couple of weeks. I'm talking about

172
00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:18,959
Speaker 2: a lifestyle where you live with expectancy.

173
00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:20,360
Speaker 1: You go out each.

174
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:24,280
Speaker 2: Day looking for God's goodness. The truth is we all

175
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:28,040
Speaker 2: have to wait. I'm not saying everything will change in

176
00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:30,880
Speaker 2: twenty four hours. It might, but it might take a

177
00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:31,720
Speaker 2: much longer.

178
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:33,600
Speaker 1: The key is to.

179
00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:37,480
Speaker 2: Wait the right way, with expectancy, knowing that it could

180
00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:41,000
Speaker 2: happen today. That's what a young couple did that I know.

181
00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:43,880
Speaker 2: They were trying to have a baby for many years

182
00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:47,679
Speaker 2: with no success. They went through all the fertility treatments

183
00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:51,600
Speaker 2: still nothing. Instead of getting discouraged, they got up every

184
00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:53,760
Speaker 2: morning and said, Father, thank you.

185
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:55,079
Speaker 1: Today could be.

186
00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:58,000
Speaker 2: The day we conceive a child. Today could be the

187
00:09:58,080 --> 00:09:59,360
Speaker 2: day you bless us.

188
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:03,240
Speaker 1: With a baby. Month after month went by, They didn't

189
00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:06,920
Speaker 1: see anything changing. One year, two years, three years, four years.

190
00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:11,080
Speaker 2: They just kept saying, Lord, send healing, Now send that baby,

191
00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:12,480
Speaker 2: Now send favor.

192
00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:15,680
Speaker 1: Now living with expectancy, now faith.

193
00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:20,240
Speaker 2: Five years later, after being told they couldn't have a baby,

194
00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:24,319
Speaker 2: they brought their beautiful baby daughter for us to dedicate

195
00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:27,320
Speaker 2: right here. They were so excited about it. But I

196
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:31,120
Speaker 2: wonder what would have happened if they had a thought, well,

197
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:35,360
Speaker 2: just our luck just not meant to be. They had

198
00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:39,600
Speaker 2: this attitude, Today is our day. Nothing happened. The first

199
00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:43,160
Speaker 2: month didn't matter. Today is our day. Nothing happened the

200
00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:46,440
Speaker 2: first year. They didn't get discouraged, didn't change their mind.

201
00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:48,000
Speaker 1: Today is our day.

202
00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:53,080
Speaker 2: Those five years, it didn't look like anything was happening.

203
00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:56,880
Speaker 2: But the truth is God was working behind the scenes.

204
00:10:57,360 --> 00:11:01,120
Speaker 2: Eventually they came in too there suddenly, and it's easy

205
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:04,240
Speaker 2: to get discouraged. Think, well, my marriage is never going

206
00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:07,160
Speaker 2: to improve, it's been this way too long. I'll never

207
00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:10,400
Speaker 2: get out of debt, I'll never be well. No, God

208
00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:13,960
Speaker 2: is a god of the suddenlies. One touch of his

209
00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:17,720
Speaker 2: favor and it suddenly turns around. You suddenly get the

210
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:21,040
Speaker 2: break you need, You suddenly feel better, You suddenly meet

211
00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:24,960
Speaker 2: the right person. You may not see anything happening, but

212
00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:26,000
Speaker 2: that doesn't mean.

213
00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:29,040
Speaker 1: That God is not working. As long as you believe,

214
00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:32,320
Speaker 1: as long as you know today is my day.

215
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:36,760
Speaker 2: Behind the scenes, God is at work getting it all

216
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:41,600
Speaker 2: lined up. In fact, every time you say, Lord, send favor, now,

217
00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:44,400
Speaker 2: send healing, now, send freedom now.

218
00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:48,240
Speaker 1: In the unseen realm, God dispatches the angels.

219
00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:52,320
Speaker 2: They're arranging things in your favor, moving the wrong people

220
00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:55,040
Speaker 2: out of the way, lining up the breaks that you need.

221
00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:59,120
Speaker 1: It's just a matter of time before your suddenly shows up.

222
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:01,200
Speaker 1: It's like this man.

223
00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:04,000
Speaker 2: He was in his yard with a big sledge hammer

224
00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:08,280
Speaker 2: trying to break apart this huge boulder. He swung at

225
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:11,920
Speaker 2: it again and again with all of his might. Didn't

226
00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:15,240
Speaker 2: see the smallest dent, not even a little crack.

227
00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:18,439
Speaker 1: But every day, for a couple of hours he would go.

228
00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:22,160
Speaker 2: Out and hit that boulders hard as he could, never

229
00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:25,439
Speaker 2: seeing any sign of things changing. A few weeks later,

230
00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:27,480
Speaker 2: he hit it, and all of a sudden, the whole

231
00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:31,199
Speaker 2: rock split right apart. He was surprised. He didn't think

232
00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:35,360
Speaker 2: he was making any progress. What he didn't realize was

233
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:39,640
Speaker 2: on the inside of the rock. Every time he hit it.

234
00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:43,319
Speaker 2: It was weakening the integrity of the rock. There were

235
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:46,880
Speaker 2: no signs on the outside, but on the inside changes

236
00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:51,320
Speaker 2: were taking place. When that rock finally split apart, it

237
00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:54,079
Speaker 2: wasn't that last blow that did it. It was a

238
00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:57,080
Speaker 2: culmination of all the times.

239
00:12:56,800 --> 00:12:57,680
Speaker 1: He had hit it before.

240
00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:04,040
Speaker 2: In the same way, you get up praying, believing, expecting,

241
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:06,280
Speaker 2: you may not see anything happening.

242
00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:08,000
Speaker 1: It all looks the same.

243
00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:12,120
Speaker 2: Thoughts will tell you it's never going to change. Your

244
00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:15,199
Speaker 2: child's never going to straighten up. You'll never be able

245
00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:17,560
Speaker 2: to afford that house you want. Your health is never

246
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:18,440
Speaker 2: going to improve.

247
00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:20,199
Speaker 1: Don't believe those lives.

248
00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:24,600
Speaker 2: Keep saying Lord sin favor now, keep believing today is

249
00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:29,520
Speaker 2: my day. Keep expecting God's goodness every day you do that.

250
00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:34,480
Speaker 2: Whatever's holding you back is getting weaker. The sickness is

251
00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:38,440
Speaker 2: getting weaker, the addiction is getting weaker. The depression is

252
00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:42,440
Speaker 2: getting weaker, the lack is getting weaker. The family problem

253
00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:45,400
Speaker 2: is getting weaker. One day you're going to get up

254
00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:48,760
Speaker 2: and say today is my day. You're not gonna say

255
00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:53,480
Speaker 2: it by faith. Suddenly it'll turn around. Suddenly the dream

256
00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:56,520
Speaker 2: comes to pass. Suddenly you get the break. But it

257
00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:59,720
Speaker 2: wasn't just that one time. It was all those days.

258
00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:04,800
Speaker 2: Chose to live with expectancy, believing that God was working

259
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:08,520
Speaker 2: even though you didn't see anything happening. I met a

260
00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:10,960
Speaker 2: lady a few years ago out in the lobby. She

261
00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:13,679
Speaker 2: was in town at the medical center and she had

262
00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:16,280
Speaker 2: just been approved to be on the list for a

263
00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:20,240
Speaker 2: liver transplant. She was told it would take between three

264
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:23,480
Speaker 2: and five years. There were many people on the list.

265
00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:25,920
Speaker 1: Ahead of her. She didn't know if she could live

266
00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:26,480
Speaker 1: that long.

267
00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:30,080
Speaker 2: I told her, God, can heal you with the transplant

268
00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:31,960
Speaker 2: or without the transplant.

269
00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:34,360
Speaker 1: Just keep believing. Today is my day.

270
00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:39,440
Speaker 2: Lord, send Healey now, send favor now. About three months later,

271
00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:42,720
Speaker 2: she was back at the services. I noticed she had

272
00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:46,520
Speaker 2: a wristband on her wrist from the hospital. Thought maybe

273
00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:49,400
Speaker 2: she had to have some additional test. She had the

274
00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:52,760
Speaker 2: biggest smile on her face. She said, Joe, you're looking

275
00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:56,560
Speaker 2: at a lady with a brand new liver. Two days

276
00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:59,600
Speaker 2: after she went on the list, she received a call saying,

277
00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:02,520
Speaker 2: we have a liver available for you. Supposed to take

278
00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:07,200
Speaker 2: years and years. She had the operation, the transplant, Everything

279
00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:10,520
Speaker 2: went well. Today she's healthy and whole.

280
00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:15,480
Speaker 1: What was that? Suddenly you may think it's.

281
00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:18,280
Speaker 2: Going to take years for you to get well, years

282
00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:21,240
Speaker 2: to get out of debt, years to accomplish your dreams.

283
00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:24,720
Speaker 2: How do you know, like with this lady, that God

284
00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:28,040
Speaker 2: doesn't have a suddenly lined up for you. You don't

285
00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:30,920
Speaker 2: know what God has around the corner. You need to

286
00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:34,240
Speaker 2: get ready. God is about to turn some things around.

287
00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:38,320
Speaker 2: He's about to release an abundance of rain. He's going

288
00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:40,680
Speaker 2: to speed up what should have taken years.

289
00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:43,040
Speaker 1: Now. You've got to get up every morning in faith

290
00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:45,720
Speaker 1: saying God, I want to thank you. Today is my day.

291
00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:50,080
Speaker 2: Then go out expecting one of these suddenlys to chase

292
00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:50,520
Speaker 2: you down.

293
00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:54,280
Speaker 1: There was a man in the scripture that was crippled.

294
00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:57,920
Speaker 2: He'd been lying by the pool of Bethesda, and whenever

295
00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:01,720
Speaker 2: an angel stirred the water, the first person that got

296
00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:05,040
Speaker 2: in would be healed. And I can imagine the first

297
00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:09,320
Speaker 2: week he was there, he was very excited, thinking, today

298
00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:10,280
Speaker 2: is my day.

299
00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:12,440
Speaker 1: I'm going to be the one to get healed.

300
00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:16,760
Speaker 2: But a month goes by and he doesn't see anything happening.

301
00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:19,280
Speaker 1: A year goes by, still nothing. He gets a little

302
00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:19,880
Speaker 1: more discouraged.

303
00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:23,840
Speaker 2: In five years, well, he's finally completely convinced that it's

304
00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:27,760
Speaker 2: never going to happen. One day, Jesus shows up and

305
00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:30,360
Speaker 2: says to the man, do you want to get well?

306
00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:33,040
Speaker 1: Instead of saying, of course I do.

307
00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:36,960
Speaker 2: I knew it was going to happen, he started making excuses.

308
00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:40,160
Speaker 1: He said, Jesus, I've been here a long time.

309
00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:42,960
Speaker 2: I don't have anybody to help me get in the water,

310
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:44,640
Speaker 2: and you know my legs don't work.

311
00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:45,040
Speaker 1: Here.

312
00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:49,120
Speaker 2: The son of God, Jesus, stands before him, the one

313
00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:52,120
Speaker 2: that has the power to make him home. But the

314
00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:55,320
Speaker 2: man is so focused on all the reasons why it's

315
00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:56,160
Speaker 2: not going to happen.

316
00:16:56,560 --> 00:16:57,360
Speaker 1: What am I saying?

317
00:16:57,840 --> 00:17:00,640
Speaker 2: You can be at the right place, in the wrong

318
00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:03,520
Speaker 2: frame of mind and miss what God wants to do.

319
00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:07,560
Speaker 2: You may have been praying, believing about a situation for

320
00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:11,480
Speaker 2: many years. You don't see anything changing. You could easily

321
00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:14,399
Speaker 2: talk yourself out of it. But I believe, like with

322
00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:18,159
Speaker 2: this man, God is passing by today. You're at the

323
00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:21,119
Speaker 2: right place. Here's the real question. Are you in the

324
00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:25,000
Speaker 2: right frame of mind? Do you believe that today could

325
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:27,680
Speaker 2: be your day? Do you believe that God.

326
00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:31,520
Speaker 1: Could still turn it around? Still? Bless you still restore?

327
00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:34,760
Speaker 2: You don't be like this man and come up with

328
00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:38,560
Speaker 2: a bunch of excuses why you can't be successful, why

329
00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:41,240
Speaker 2: you can't get well, why you'll never get married. No,

330
00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:45,320
Speaker 2: shake off the doubt, turn off the negative voices, have

331
00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:47,560
Speaker 2: the attitude today is my day.

332
00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:50,280
Speaker 1: It may not have happened in the past, but.

333
00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:53,560
Speaker 2: I know now is the time for God's favor. I'm

334
00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:58,800
Speaker 2: expecting some suddenlies in my life. See the Scripture tells

335
00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:03,160
Speaker 2: us to be prisoners of hope. That means we're chained

336
00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:06,600
Speaker 2: to hope. We can't get away from it. In other words,

337
00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:10,520
Speaker 2: I should be discouraged. It's taken a long time, but

338
00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:13,440
Speaker 2: I can't help it. I still believe God can turn

339
00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:17,040
Speaker 2: it around. I still believe a suddenly is coming. I

340
00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:20,800
Speaker 2: still believe that today could be my dame. That thought

341
00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:24,440
Speaker 2: says you're never going to get out of debt, business

342
00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:26,800
Speaker 2: is slow, looks like you're going to go under. Just

343
00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:30,320
Speaker 2: answer back, yes, that may be true in the natural.

344
00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:33,040
Speaker 2: I don't see a way. But you've got to understand.

345
00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:37,920
Speaker 2: I'm in a prison, not physically, but mentally, a prison

346
00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:43,040
Speaker 2: of expectancy. I believe now God is working in my life.

347
00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:46,840
Speaker 2: Now is the time for God's favor. Whenever those thoughts

348
00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:49,360
Speaker 2: try to talk you out of it, just tell them

349
00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:54,000
Speaker 2: you're too late. I've already seen suddenly's in my life.

350
00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:56,920
Speaker 2: And go back and remember all the things God has

351
00:18:56,960 --> 00:19:01,600
Speaker 2: done for you. I've seen God my mother of terminal cancer.

352
00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:03,399
Speaker 1: I've seen God.

353
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:06,080
Speaker 2: Give us this beautiful facility when all the odds were

354
00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:09,600
Speaker 2: against us. I've seen God increase me in ways that

355
00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:12,840
Speaker 2: I've never imagined. Listen, if God did it for us once,

356
00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:14,280
Speaker 2: he'll do it for us again.

357
00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:18,040
Speaker 1: That's a prisoner of hope. You don't get talked out

358
00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:18,320
Speaker 1: of it.

359
00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:23,919
Speaker 2: Isaiah thirty says God is longing to be good to you.

360
00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:28,919
Speaker 2: God wants to show you his favor, but there's a requirement.

361
00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:32,720
Speaker 2: God is going to be good, not necessarily to everyone.

362
00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:36,600
Speaker 2: The rest of the verse tells us who blessed are

363
00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:42,719
Speaker 2: those who look for, who long for, who expect his goodness,

364
00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:46,480
Speaker 2: his favor, his victory. God is going to be good

365
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:49,960
Speaker 2: to the people that are looking for his goodness, people

366
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:53,959
Speaker 2: that are expecting his favor. Now my question, what are

367
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:57,720
Speaker 2: you looking for? What are you expecting to barely get

368
00:19:57,720 --> 00:19:58,400
Speaker 2: by this year?

369
00:19:58,960 --> 00:19:59,320
Speaker 1: Or are you.

370
00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:03,160
Speaker 2: Expecting an abundance of rain? Do you think your situation

371
00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:06,240
Speaker 2: will never change, or do you know that now is

372
00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:07,520
Speaker 2: the time for God's favor.

373
00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:09,440
Speaker 1: Well, Joel, I've had a.

374
00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:12,439
Speaker 2: Lot of disappointments. I never get any good breaks. I

375
00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:15,200
Speaker 2: don't see how it could get well. No, if you're

376
00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:18,480
Speaker 2: not looking for God's goodness, if you don't develop this

377
00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:22,760
Speaker 2: attitude that today is my day, then even though God

378
00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:25,520
Speaker 2: is longing to be good to you, he'll back off

379
00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:30,080
Speaker 2: and put his blessings on hold. Faith causes God to act.

380
00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:36,119
Speaker 2: Your expectancy believing that things are changing, saying Lord, send favor, now,

381
00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:38,800
Speaker 2: send healing, now, send restoration.

382
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:43,720
Speaker 1: Now. That's not just being positive. That's your faith being released.

383
00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:47,399
Speaker 2: That's what causes the creator of the universe to go

384
00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:50,280
Speaker 2: to work in your life. Now, I've heard the saying

385
00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:54,560
Speaker 2: you probably have to don't expect too much. That way,

386
00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:57,240
Speaker 2: when it doesn't happen, you won't be disappointed.

387
00:20:57,760 --> 00:20:58,880
Speaker 1: That's no way to live.

388
00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:03,600
Speaker 2: God meets you at the level of your expectations. If

389
00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:06,679
Speaker 2: you expect this to be an ordinary year, it'll be

390
00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:10,680
Speaker 2: an ordinary year. If you expect the problem to get worse,

391
00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:14,399
Speaker 2: it will get worse. If you expect the sickness, the trouble,

392
00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:17,960
Speaker 2: the lack, the depression to continue, it will continue.

393
00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:20,520
Speaker 1: You've got to change what you're expecting.

394
00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:24,320
Speaker 2: God wants to be good to you, but he's waiting

395
00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:27,440
Speaker 2: for you to start looking for his goodness.

396
00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:29,480
Speaker 1: Our attitude should.

397
00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:33,080
Speaker 2: Be I'm expecting this year to be better than last year.

398
00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:37,640
Speaker 2: I'm expecting good breaks to chase us down and overtake us.

399
00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:41,840
Speaker 2: I'm expecting divine connections, the right people to show up.

400
00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:45,800
Speaker 2: I'm expecting our children to be mighty in the land,

401
00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:50,359
Speaker 2: to excel in school. I'm expecting us to live debt free,

402
00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:52,960
Speaker 2: to lend and not borrow, to be the head and

403
00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:57,720
Speaker 2: not the tail. I'm expecting to overcome every challenge that.

404
00:21:57,760 --> 00:21:59,919
Speaker 1: No weapon formed against us will prosper.

405
00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:05,359
Speaker 2: I'm expecting some suddenlyas suddenly you get promoted, suddenly you

406
00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:09,400
Speaker 2: get well, Suddenly you're thrust into overflow. Listen, you can

407
00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:12,440
Speaker 2: wake up one morning with the same problem you've had

408
00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:13,879
Speaker 2: for the last twenty years.

409
00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:15,720
Speaker 1: Nothing looks any different.

410
00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:17,719
Speaker 2: But then today is your day and you go to

411
00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:21,439
Speaker 2: bed and the whole situation is resolved. One touch of

412
00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:26,600
Speaker 2: God's favor. One suddenly are you expecting it? Some of

413
00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:30,639
Speaker 2: you are stuck. You're not expecting enough. You need to

414
00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:33,760
Speaker 2: get your expector out. You haven't used that thing in

415
00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:37,399
Speaker 2: fourteen years. It needs to be overhauled. Start expecting to

416
00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:41,919
Speaker 2: rise higher. Start expecting every enemy in your life to

417
00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:46,080
Speaker 2: be defeated. Start expecting your mountains to be flattened into

418
00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:50,760
Speaker 2: mole hills. Start expecting new doors of opportunity, Favor in

419
00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:54,760
Speaker 2: your career, favor in your health, favor in your finances.

420
00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:58,639
Speaker 2: God is long to be good to you. He's looking

421
00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:01,520
Speaker 2: down from the heaven's right now. But you have to

422
00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:07,120
Speaker 2: be in position. What's the position expectancy? Believing that today

423
00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:10,679
Speaker 2: is my day, something good is going to happen to me.

424
00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:14,960
Speaker 2: That's what gets God's attention. Somebody says, you're still not

425
00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:18,399
Speaker 2: feeling well. Yes, that's true, but this could be the

426
00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:22,399
Speaker 2: day it turns around. You're still looking for that job, yes,

427
00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:24,800
Speaker 2: but this could be the day I find it. You're

428
00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:27,720
Speaker 2: still struggling with that addiction, yes, but this could be

429
00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:31,040
Speaker 2: the day I break it. You're still in a drought, yes,

430
00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:33,680
Speaker 2: but this could be the day the heavens opened up.

431
00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:36,200
Speaker 2: This could be the day I see an abundance of

432
00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:40,000
Speaker 2: reign suddenly in my life. Today, a dream could come

433
00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:44,000
Speaker 2: to pass, today, a marriage could be restored. Today, you

434
00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:48,960
Speaker 2: could be thrust into overflow. Friends, our God is the Great,

435
00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:53,959
Speaker 2: I am present tense, He's saying, I am healing, I

436
00:23:54,000 --> 00:24:00,800
Speaker 2: am restoration, I am breakthroughs I am abundance, I am victory. Now,

437
00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:03,280
Speaker 2: if you're going to see the Great I am show up,

438
00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:05,760
Speaker 2: you can't treat him like the Great I will be.

439
00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:08,119
Speaker 2: You can't have a one day faith.

440
00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:10,800
Speaker 1: You got to have a today faith and now faith.

441
00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:13,320
Speaker 1: That's what a lady did in the scripture.

442
00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:17,960
Speaker 2: She had been sick for twelve years with a bleeding disorder.

443
00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:21,359
Speaker 2: She spent all of her money, went to many doctors,

444
00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:22,840
Speaker 2: but continued.

445
00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:22,919
Speaker 1: To get worse.

446
00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:26,080
Speaker 2: She could have gotten discouraged and thought, well, just wasn't

447
00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:28,760
Speaker 2: meant to be. I guess that's it now. This lady

448
00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:32,720
Speaker 2: must have been coming to Lakewood. Her attitude was today

449
00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:35,640
Speaker 2: is my day. I may not see how it can

450
00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:37,080
Speaker 2: work out, but Lord.

451
00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:39,440
Speaker 1: Send healing, now send favor.

452
00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:39,800
Speaker 3: Now.

453
00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:44,320
Speaker 2: She heard that Jesus was traveling through her city. She thought,

454
00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:46,960
Speaker 2: if I can just get to him, I know.

455
00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:50,560
Speaker 1: I will be healed. She had this expectancy.

456
00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:54,760
Speaker 2: She knew God could suddenly turn it around. She pressed

457
00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:57,840
Speaker 2: her way through the crowd. I can hear her saying,

458
00:24:58,040 --> 00:25:00,399
Speaker 2: excuse me, I don't mean to be rude. Fod, But

459
00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:04,399
Speaker 2: today is my day, this is my time. Things are

460
00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:07,920
Speaker 2: about to change in my favor. As Jesus passed by,

461
00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:11,560
Speaker 2: she reached out and touched the edge of his robe,

462
00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:16,840
Speaker 2: and instantly she was healed. Jesus stopped, said to the

463
00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:21,800
Speaker 2: disciples who touched me. They said, Jesus, everybody's touching you.

464
00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:25,359
Speaker 2: It's crowded around here. He said, no, somebody touched me

465
00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:29,840
Speaker 2: with such faith, with such expectancy, that they drew the

466
00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:35,000
Speaker 2: miracle working power right out of me. About that time, Jesus'

467
00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:36,960
Speaker 2: eyes met this woman's eyes.
