1 00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:02,160 Speaker 1: Hi, this is Joel and Victoria. 2 00:00:02,240 --> 00:00:05,279 Speaker 2: Thanks for listening to our podcast and thanks for supporting 3 00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:05,920 Speaker 2: the ministry. 4 00:00:06,120 --> 00:00:08,440 Speaker 3: If you enjoy today's message, why don't you be a 5 00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:10,000 Speaker 3: blessing and share it with a friend. 6 00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:13,040 Speaker 2: We appreciate you and pray for God's very best in 7 00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:15,800 Speaker 2: your life. Well, it's a joy to come into your homes, 8 00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:19,040 Speaker 2: and if you're ever in our area, I hope you'll 9 00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:21,240 Speaker 2: stop buy and be a part of one of our services. 10 00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:23,520 Speaker 2: I'll promise you we'll make you feel right at home. 11 00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:25,840 Speaker 2: But we thank you so much for tuning in today 12 00:00:25,880 --> 00:00:28,520 Speaker 2: and thank you again for coming out. I like to 13 00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:31,880 Speaker 2: start with something funny, and I heard about this archaeologist 14 00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:35,480 Speaker 2: in New York. He dug down ten feet and found 15 00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:39,320 Speaker 2: traces of copper wiring dating back one hundred years. He 16 00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:43,080 Speaker 2: concluded that New Yorkers had a telephone network over one 17 00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:47,360 Speaker 2: hundred years ago. Not to be outdone, an archaeologist from 18 00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:51,920 Speaker 2: California dug down twenty feet and found copper wiring dating 19 00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:55,720 Speaker 2: back two hundred years. He concluded that Californians had a 20 00:00:55,760 --> 00:01:00,000 Speaker 2: massive communications network one hundred years earlier than New Yorkers. 21 00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:05,560 Speaker 2: Upon hearing this bubba from Texas, dug down thirty feet 22 00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:09,840 Speaker 2: on his farm and found absolutely nothing. He concluded, three 23 00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:12,839 Speaker 2: hundred years ago, Texans had already gone wireless. 24 00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:16,640 Speaker 1: Say it like you mean it. 25 00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:20,000 Speaker 2: This is my Bible. I am what it says I am. 26 00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:22,760 Speaker 2: I have what it says I have. I can do 27 00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:25,360 Speaker 2: what it says I can do. Today I will be 28 00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:29,240 Speaker 2: taught the word of God. I boldly confess my mind 29 00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:31,440 Speaker 2: is alert, my heart is receptive. 30 00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:35,320 Speaker 1: I will never be the same. In Jesus' name, God 31 00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:35,840 Speaker 1: bless you. 32 00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:40,440 Speaker 2: I want to talk to you today about sooner than expected. 33 00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:43,720 Speaker 2: A few years ago, I ordered a pair of running 34 00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:46,880 Speaker 2: shoes online. It said it was going to take four 35 00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:50,960 Speaker 2: to six weeks for delivery. Normally you can pay a 36 00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:54,760 Speaker 2: little extra to have them delivered sooner, but that wasn't 37 00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:56,640 Speaker 2: offered for this particular. 38 00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:56,800 Speaker 1: Pair of shoes. 39 00:01:57,360 --> 00:01:59,680 Speaker 2: There was a number, so I called and talked to 40 00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:02,400 Speaker 2: the l asked her if there was anything she could 41 00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:04,960 Speaker 2: do to help me get them sooner. She put me 42 00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:07,760 Speaker 2: on hold and came back in a couple of minutes, said, sir, 43 00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:10,560 Speaker 2: I'm sorry. I checked, but it's going to be at 44 00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:15,240 Speaker 2: least four weeks, most likely six weeks. I tried to 45 00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:18,280 Speaker 2: use my charm to persuade her, said, are you sure 46 00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:20,880 Speaker 2: there's nothing else you can do? She kind of perked up. 47 00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:24,680 Speaker 2: She said, is your last name? O'steine said, oh lord, 48 00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:27,720 Speaker 2: thank you for your favor. I said, yes, ma'am, it 49 00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:31,240 Speaker 2: sure is. She said, that's funny. The lady that lives 50 00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:34,600 Speaker 2: two doors down from me is an o'stine. I said, well, 51 00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:37,520 Speaker 2: that's probably one of my relatives. Not many of us around. 52 00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:40,359 Speaker 2: She said, no offense, but I don't like her at all. 53 00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:46,920 Speaker 2: Said like I said, I'm sure we're not related. We 54 00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:49,680 Speaker 2: laughed together and I hung up the phone. That was 55 00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:52,840 Speaker 2: on a Monday. I'd already made up my mind it 56 00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:56,239 Speaker 2: was going to take six weeks, already accepted the fact 57 00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:58,960 Speaker 2: that it wasn't going to happen any sooner. That's what 58 00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:02,800 Speaker 2: all the ccumstances said. That's what the experts had just 59 00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:07,919 Speaker 2: told me. But four days later, Thursday afternoon, there. 60 00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:10,720 Speaker 1: Was a knock on my door. He was the ups man. 61 00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:13,720 Speaker 2: He handed me a box and I could tell they 62 00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:16,000 Speaker 2: were shoes, but I thought, these couldn't be mine, must 63 00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:20,080 Speaker 2: be Victorious or our children. I opened that box and 64 00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:22,560 Speaker 2: there were the shoes that I had ordered. There was 65 00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:28,800 Speaker 2: no explanation. They simply arrived sooner than expected. In the 66 00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:31,800 Speaker 2: same way, God has some deliveries for you. 67 00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:34,200 Speaker 1: That are going to come sooner than you think. 68 00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:40,000 Speaker 2: Every circumstance may say it's going to take years to 69 00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:42,880 Speaker 2: get out of debt, years to meet the right person, 70 00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:46,080 Speaker 2: years to accomplish a goal. But get ready for some 71 00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:52,640 Speaker 2: unexpected deliveries. God has favor, good breaks, healing, divine connections 72 00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:56,600 Speaker 2: that are going to show up sooner than expected. And yes, 73 00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:59,680 Speaker 2: I know there are times that God does things slowly, 74 00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:03,160 Speaker 2: little by little over a period of years. But there 75 00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:09,000 Speaker 2: are also times God will do things suddenly, unexpectedly, quicker 76 00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:11,800 Speaker 2: than you thought. You may have been told by the 77 00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:14,400 Speaker 2: experts that it's going to take a long time to 78 00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:18,359 Speaker 2: get well. You've done everything you can, tried your best, 79 00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:21,520 Speaker 2: but now you've accepted the fact that it's going to 80 00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:25,039 Speaker 2: be a long drawn out process. Now get ready for 81 00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:28,680 Speaker 2: a knock on the door. God has your healing already 82 00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:32,120 Speaker 2: en route. It's going to be there sooner than expected. 83 00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:36,719 Speaker 1: Perhaps you've struggled with an addiction since high school. You've 84 00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:37,720 Speaker 1: tried to break it. 85 00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:41,000 Speaker 2: Gone through treatment, not able to do it. Now you 86 00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:42,920 Speaker 2: think that's the way it's always going to be. 87 00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:46,680 Speaker 1: No, get ready. Freedom is coming. A breakthrough is on 88 00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:47,120 Speaker 1: the way. 89 00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:50,640 Speaker 2: It should take years, but God is speeding things up. 90 00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:54,479 Speaker 2: That's what it says in Jeremiah. God will hasten his 91 00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:58,599 Speaker 2: word to perform it. That means God will do it quicker, faster, 92 00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:00,560 Speaker 2: sooner than you think. 93 00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:02,760 Speaker 1: Acts chapter twelve. 94 00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:07,000 Speaker 2: King Herod had Peter arrested and put in prison. Herod 95 00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:10,640 Speaker 2: didn't like the Church. He was against believers. He had 96 00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:14,039 Speaker 2: already had one of the disciples, Stephen, put to death. 97 00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:15,960 Speaker 1: It didn't look good for Peter. 98 00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:18,880 Speaker 2: He was put in the deepest part of the prison, 99 00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:22,520 Speaker 2: in the most secure area. On top of that, he 100 00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:26,120 Speaker 2: was chained to two guards. The next day he was 101 00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:29,000 Speaker 2: going to be brought to trial. There was a large 102 00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:32,560 Speaker 2: group of believers that had gathered at Mary's house to 103 00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:33,400 Speaker 2: pray for Peter. 104 00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:36,480 Speaker 1: They knew this was a very serious situation. 105 00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:40,320 Speaker 2: He was just a few hours away from possibly losing 106 00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:44,920 Speaker 2: his life. But that night, an angel appeared under him 107 00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:48,240 Speaker 2: in the prison. The angel woke Peter up and said, Peter, 108 00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:51,360 Speaker 2: get up and come with me. At first he thought 109 00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:55,159 Speaker 2: it was a dream. Instantly the chains fell off of him. 110 00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:58,000 Speaker 2: They passed the first set of guards, then the second 111 00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:00,359 Speaker 2: set of guards, and they came to this year huge 112 00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:05,440 Speaker 2: iron gate, a big structure. Looked impossible, no way to 113 00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:08,920 Speaker 2: get around it, but the scripture says the gate. 114 00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:10,560 Speaker 1: Opened on its own accord. 115 00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:14,400 Speaker 2: At that point, Peter realized that it wasn't a dream, 116 00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:18,120 Speaker 2: it was really happening. He went straight to the house 117 00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:20,520 Speaker 2: of Mary, where everybody was praying. 118 00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:22,159 Speaker 1: He knocked on the door. 119 00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:26,200 Speaker 2: A young lady named Rhoda answered it. When she heard 120 00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:31,240 Speaker 2: Peter's voice, she was so amazed, so excited, she didn't 121 00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:34,599 Speaker 2: even open the door. She ran back and told everyone, Hey, 122 00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:40,440 Speaker 2: Peter is out front. Our prayers have been answered. They said, Rhoda, Rhoda, 123 00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:44,400 Speaker 2: calm down, girl, Peter is not out front. That's impossible. 124 00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:48,400 Speaker 2: He's in prison, in the dungeon, chained up. You must 125 00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:51,640 Speaker 2: be seeing things, she said. I'm telling you I heard 126 00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:55,200 Speaker 2: it with my own ears. Peter is out front. The 127 00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:58,719 Speaker 2: whole time, Peter was sending out there, knocking and knocking, thinking, 128 00:06:58,760 --> 00:06:59,599 Speaker 2: come on, man, I'm the. 129 00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:03,039 Speaker 1: Answer your prayer. At least let me in. Here's my point. 130 00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:07,320 Speaker 2: They were praying for Peter's release, but they almost couldn't 131 00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:12,000 Speaker 2: believe it because it happened sooner than expected. That was 132 00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:15,840 Speaker 2: one of those deliveries they didn't see coming. All the 133 00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:19,760 Speaker 2: circumstances said, if he did ever get out, if some 134 00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:23,880 Speaker 2: way he was ever free, it would take months. 135 00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:24,360 Speaker 1: Possibly even years. 136 00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:29,360 Speaker 2: But can I tell you God has some unexpected deliveries 137 00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:32,080 Speaker 2: come in your way. He knows how to do it 138 00:07:32,200 --> 00:07:35,240 Speaker 2: faster than you think. Some of the things you've been 139 00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:38,760 Speaker 2: praying about. You think it's going to take years and years, 140 00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:41,680 Speaker 2: or just like with these people, God is going to 141 00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:44,880 Speaker 2: do it suddenly, unexpectedly. 142 00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:45,280 Speaker 1: Quicker than you thought. 143 00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:49,240 Speaker 2: You're still praying about it, and the answer comes knocking 144 00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:52,920 Speaker 2: at the door while you're praying for your healing. Healing 145 00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:56,840 Speaker 2: is already en wrap. You're praying for the breakthrough, and 146 00:07:56,920 --> 00:08:00,680 Speaker 2: the angel has already loosed the chains. Praying for the 147 00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:03,840 Speaker 2: child that's off course, God has already set. 148 00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:04,800 Speaker 1: The miracle intomotion. 149 00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:07,920 Speaker 2: You're going to hear a knock on your door sooner 150 00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:11,000 Speaker 2: than expected. Now, don't talk to yourself out of it. 151 00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:14,440 Speaker 2: Don't do like they did. All that's impossible. Have you 152 00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:18,080 Speaker 2: seen my circumstances? Have you looked at my bank account? 153 00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:22,880 Speaker 2: Have you heard what the specialists say about my health situation? No, 154 00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:26,520 Speaker 2: just like with my running shoes, the delivery is already 155 00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:30,560 Speaker 2: en roup. The scripture says, the moment you prayed, the 156 00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:32,319 Speaker 2: tide of the battle begin to turn. 157 00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:34,840 Speaker 1: God set the miracle into motion. 158 00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:39,720 Speaker 2: Every circumstance may say you'll never get free, never get well, 159 00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:44,000 Speaker 2: never accomplish a dream. But know this, chains have already 160 00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:48,640 Speaker 2: been loosed. The right people are already headed your way. Favor, healing, 161 00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:52,760 Speaker 2: vindication is about to come knocking at your door. In 162 00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:56,920 Speaker 2: this year of acceleration. You're going to see doors open 163 00:08:57,080 --> 00:08:58,080 Speaker 2: of their own accord. 164 00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:00,480 Speaker 1: Things that you couldn't make happen. 165 00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:04,839 Speaker 2: You didn't have the talent, the funding, the connections. God 166 00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:10,040 Speaker 2: will supernaturally make happen. Breaks that you didn't deserve, favor 167 00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:13,359 Speaker 2: chasing you down, unexpected deliveries. 168 00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:15,640 Speaker 1: Like Peter, you may. 169 00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:20,599 Speaker 2: Have obstacles that look insurmountable, problems that looked too big, sickness, 170 00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:22,719 Speaker 2: family difficulties, depression. 171 00:09:23,360 --> 00:09:26,000 Speaker 1: God is going to do for you what he did 172 00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:26,400 Speaker 1: for him. 173 00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:31,280 Speaker 2: He's going to supernaturally open those iron gates and bring 174 00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:35,080 Speaker 2: you into freedom. Suddenly things are going to fall into place. 175 00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:39,040 Speaker 2: You're going to be so amazed thinking, I never thought. 176 00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:40,000 Speaker 1: It would happen this fast. 177 00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:43,840 Speaker 2: I was just praying, and the answer showed up. I 178 00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:47,000 Speaker 2: was just dreaming about it, and the door supernaturally opened. 179 00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:50,160 Speaker 1: I was just honoring God being my best and the 180 00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:55,079 Speaker 1: blessing chased me down. Really, that's what this facility is. 181 00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:58,280 Speaker 2: Twice we tried to buy property to build a new 182 00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:03,120 Speaker 2: auditorium we need did a larger sanctuary, but both times 183 00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:05,880 Speaker 2: that property was sold out from under us. 184 00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:07,560 Speaker 1: We had looked everywhere. 185 00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:11,040 Speaker 2: There were no more large tracts of land inclose like 186 00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:14,360 Speaker 2: we needed, and it looked like that dream had come 187 00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:18,880 Speaker 2: to a dead end. But one day, unexpectedly, out of 188 00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:21,560 Speaker 2: the blue, an old friend called me. Hadn't spoken to 189 00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:24,079 Speaker 2: him in a long time. He asked me to have lunch. 190 00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:28,160 Speaker 2: He told how the Rockets basketball team was moving out 191 00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:30,600 Speaker 2: of this building and the city was going to want 192 00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:31,120 Speaker 2: to sell it. 193 00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:34,080 Speaker 1: I didn't go after it. It came after me. 194 00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:37,040 Speaker 2: It would have taken us many years to build a 195 00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:40,160 Speaker 2: building from scratch, but God said, I'll give you one 196 00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:43,640 Speaker 2: that's already built on the most prime real estate in 197 00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:47,240 Speaker 2: all of Houston, on the second busiest freeway in the nation. 198 00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:49,920 Speaker 1: Here's what I'm saying. 199 00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:53,880 Speaker 2: When it looked impossible, I thought it was never going 200 00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:58,080 Speaker 2: to happen. The delivery was already enroute. The building was 201 00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:01,360 Speaker 2: already on the way. I couldn't made it happen. That 202 00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:04,400 Speaker 2: was the hand of God causing it to fall into place. 203 00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:07,000 Speaker 1: What the scripture says doors. 204 00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:09,880 Speaker 2: Are going to open of their own accord. May look 205 00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:13,240 Speaker 2: like you've come to a dead end in your dreams, 206 00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:15,440 Speaker 2: a dead end in your health, a dead end in 207 00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:18,840 Speaker 2: a relationship. Every voice says it's never going to happen. 208 00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:23,280 Speaker 2: But there are some doors that God has already ordained 209 00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:23,720 Speaker 2: for you. 210 00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:27,440 Speaker 1: They're going to open of their own accord. You couldn't 211 00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:28,200 Speaker 1: make it happen. 212 00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:31,640 Speaker 2: It's simply the goodness of God you're going to see. 213 00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:35,120 Speaker 2: I believe some of these doors open sooner than expected. 214 00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:38,200 Speaker 2: Everything in the natural says it's going to be years 215 00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:42,120 Speaker 2: and years. God is saying it's already in rows, closer 216 00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:45,480 Speaker 2: than you think. I received an email from a young 217 00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:49,400 Speaker 2: lady named Sasha. She and her husband had three children. 218 00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:51,040 Speaker 2: When she gave birth. 219 00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:53,160 Speaker 1: To a beautiful baby girl. 220 00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:57,400 Speaker 2: They soon realized this little girl wasn't developing like the 221 00:11:57,440 --> 00:12:02,120 Speaker 2: other children. For several years, she didn't speak other than 222 00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:03,400 Speaker 2: an occasional mommy. 223 00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:06,960 Speaker 1: She wouldn't talk. She was so frustrated by it. She 224 00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:08,680 Speaker 1: would go around biting her. 225 00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:13,240 Speaker 2: Hair and just making some grunting sounds. Sassha thought maybe 226 00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:16,520 Speaker 2: it was some kind of autism. Took her to different specialists, 227 00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:19,560 Speaker 2: but they couldn't figure out what it was. At four 228 00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:21,880 Speaker 2: and a half years of age, she had to have 229 00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:25,559 Speaker 2: her speech tested to get into preschool. She was told 230 00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:29,160 Speaker 2: that she spoke at a twelve month old baby level, 231 00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:33,400 Speaker 2: basically didn't speak. They enrolled her in that preschool in 232 00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:36,760 Speaker 2: August of that year. Two days a week she would 233 00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:40,320 Speaker 2: go to special education for speech. Months went by and 234 00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:43,560 Speaker 2: didn't look like it was doing any good. She wasn't 235 00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:47,640 Speaker 2: getting any better. But Sasha and her whole family, they 236 00:12:47,679 --> 00:12:52,000 Speaker 2: would watch our services on television each week. Even as 237 00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:54,880 Speaker 2: a little girl, she would hear me talking about how 238 00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:57,600 Speaker 2: you're a child of the Most High God, how you 239 00:12:57,640 --> 00:12:58,840 Speaker 2: can do all things through. 240 00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:01,600 Speaker 1: Christ been equipped and empowered. 241 00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:06,680 Speaker 2: In December of that same year, suddenly she started speaking. 242 00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:10,960 Speaker 2: Four months later, she took another speech test and passed 243 00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:12,280 Speaker 2: it with flying colors. 244 00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:15,000 Speaker 1: She was told she didn't need any. 245 00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:18,679 Speaker 2: More speech lessons than her speech was perfectly normal. Today, 246 00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:22,240 Speaker 2: she's an excellent student. She speaks as clearly as can be. 247 00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:25,480 Speaker 2: Sasha says, sometimes She'll go around the house saying, this 248 00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:26,400 Speaker 2: is my Bible. 249 00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:27,920 Speaker 1: I am what it says. I am. 250 00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:31,920 Speaker 2: There's little ho Colini right there on the front road with. 251 00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:35,000 Speaker 1: Her mother, Sasha as well, a child of the Most of. 252 00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:39,760 Speaker 2: God, her dad family behind him. That was one of 253 00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:44,200 Speaker 2: those unexpected deliveries. Looked like it was going to take years, 254 00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:46,000 Speaker 2: but it was already in wrap. 255 00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:48,240 Speaker 1: It happened sooner than they thought. 256 00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:53,240 Speaker 2: Sasha told me when her daughter couldn't speak well, she 257 00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:56,000 Speaker 2: just kept thanking God that the answer was on the way. 258 00:13:56,679 --> 00:13:59,920 Speaker 2: She kept praising music going throughout her house. All through 259 00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:05,040 Speaker 2: she was always feeding her inner man faith, hope, expectancy, 260 00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:08,680 Speaker 2: keeping herself encouraged and built up. It's so important in 261 00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:12,079 Speaker 2: those tough times to not dwell on all the negative thoughts. 262 00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:15,520 Speaker 2: It's never gonna happen, never get better, she'll never talk, 263 00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:16,480 Speaker 2: you'll never get well. 264 00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:18,160 Speaker 1: No, turn it around. Father. 265 00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:21,040 Speaker 2: I want to thank you that the miracle is already 266 00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:23,800 Speaker 2: in motion. Thank you Lord that the delivery is already 267 00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:27,160 Speaker 2: en Ralph, I may not see how it can happen, 268 00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:30,720 Speaker 2: but God, I know you can cause doors to open 269 00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:31,960 Speaker 2: on their own accord. 270 00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:33,680 Speaker 1: Stay in faith. 271 00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:37,440 Speaker 2: You're gonna see times where it happens sooner than expected. 272 00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:41,000 Speaker 2: This is what David did. He had just gone through 273 00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:43,960 Speaker 2: the worst defeat of his life. While he and his 274 00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:47,560 Speaker 2: six hundred men were out protecting the borders of Israel, 275 00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:52,240 Speaker 2: his home city was attacked and burned. They kidnapped all 276 00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:56,120 Speaker 2: their wives and children. When they returned home and saw 277 00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:59,280 Speaker 2: the smoke billowing from the air and all the destruction, 278 00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:02,360 Speaker 2: they were so devastated, so heartbroken. 279 00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:05,160 Speaker 1: All they could do was sit there and weep and weep. 280 00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:06,520 Speaker 1: It looked like it was over. 281 00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:10,880 Speaker 2: But instead of staying defeated, David said to his men, 282 00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:11,840 Speaker 2: get up. 283 00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:13,680 Speaker 1: We're going to go attack the enemy. 284 00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:17,080 Speaker 2: They went out and not only defeated that enemy, they 285 00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:20,240 Speaker 2: got their wives back, their children back, all their possessions. 286 00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:24,600 Speaker 2: The scripture says they recovered everything that had been stolen. 287 00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:29,160 Speaker 2: That in itself was a great victory. But what's even 288 00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:34,000 Speaker 2: more significant is that same day King Saul was killed 289 00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:35,480 Speaker 2: in a battle and. 290 00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:37,920 Speaker 1: David took the throne. 291 00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:43,480 Speaker 2: This all happened three days after David's greatest defeat, three 292 00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:45,280 Speaker 2: days from his darkest hour. 293 00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:47,280 Speaker 1: He was put on the throne of Israel. 294 00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:51,240 Speaker 2: I'm sure if you would have asked David three days 295 00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:54,440 Speaker 2: earlier when he was sitting in the ruins of his city, 296 00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:58,480 Speaker 2: depressed and discouraged. If he thought in a few hours 297 00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:01,000 Speaker 2: he would be taking the throne, he would have said, 298 00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:01,640 Speaker 2: are you kidding? 299 00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:04,840 Speaker 1: This is the worst time of my life. 300 00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:08,440 Speaker 2: Every circumstance said it was a long way off that 301 00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:10,280 Speaker 2: his best days were behind him. 302 00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:12,880 Speaker 1: But what David couldn't see was. 303 00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:16,600 Speaker 2: That was all a part of God's plan. That setback 304 00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:19,280 Speaker 2: was really a setup to move. 305 00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:21,120 Speaker 1: Him into his destiny. 306 00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:23,920 Speaker 2: It looked like that defeat could be a big delay, 307 00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:28,680 Speaker 2: maybe even keep him from the throne. In reality, it 308 00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:32,320 Speaker 2: was just the opposite. It was instrumental in putting him 309 00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:34,880 Speaker 2: on the throne. But there was a key to all 310 00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:37,800 Speaker 2: of this happening. If David would have sat there in 311 00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:41,880 Speaker 2: self pity, bitter God, why did you let this happen? 312 00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:44,760 Speaker 2: I was out doing the right thing. If he would 313 00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:48,280 Speaker 2: have stayed negative, defeated, he could have missed his destiny. 314 00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:53,080 Speaker 2: In those difficult times things you don't understand. It's easy 315 00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:57,840 Speaker 2: to get discouraged, bitter, But remember, like David, you could 316 00:16:57,840 --> 00:17:00,760 Speaker 2: be just seventy two hours. 317 00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:01,480 Speaker 1: From your greatest victory. 318 00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:04,800 Speaker 2: You could be just a few days from seeing God 319 00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:08,920 Speaker 2: shine out in your life in ways you've never seen. Well, Joel, 320 00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:10,679 Speaker 2: it's going to take me years to get out of 321 00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:14,320 Speaker 2: this mess, years to recover from this bad break, years 322 00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:17,119 Speaker 2: to get over this illness. No, God is going to 323 00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:19,880 Speaker 2: do for you what he did for David. It's going 324 00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:24,520 Speaker 2: to happen sooner than you expected. That setback is not 325 00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:28,919 Speaker 2: a surprise to God. He's already dispatched the angel with 326 00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:29,560 Speaker 2: the answer. 327 00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:33,040 Speaker 1: It's already en route. It may be dark right now, 328 00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:34,120 Speaker 1: but one day. 329 00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:36,920 Speaker 2: You're going to say, like David, Wow, God, I never 330 00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:40,640 Speaker 2: dreamed it would turn around this past. That's what happened 331 00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:44,080 Speaker 2: with us concerning this building. When that property was sold 332 00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:47,320 Speaker 2: out from under us the second time, I thought, Wow, 333 00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:50,200 Speaker 2: that is too bad. We'll never be able to build 334 00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:54,359 Speaker 2: a new sanctuary. I didn't realize I had to go 335 00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:57,480 Speaker 2: through that disappointment before I could get. 336 00:17:57,480 --> 00:17:59,320 Speaker 1: To what God really wanted us to have. 337 00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:02,760 Speaker 2: Once that door closed, it was just a few months 338 00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:05,800 Speaker 2: before the compact center door opened up. And some of 339 00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:09,199 Speaker 2: the things that you could be discouraged by the bad break, 340 00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:12,960 Speaker 2: the disappointment, the loss looks like a dead end, like 341 00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:14,359 Speaker 2: it's going to hold you back. 342 00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:16,200 Speaker 1: In reality, that. 343 00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:20,240 Speaker 2: Setback is going to propel you into the next level 344 00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:23,399 Speaker 2: of your destiny. If you will stay in faith, you 345 00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:27,080 Speaker 2: will see some of these unexpected deliveries. 346 00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:31,080 Speaker 1: God will cause doors to open on their own accord. 347 00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:35,200 Speaker 2: He'll make things happen that you could not make happen suddenly, 348 00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:39,520 Speaker 2: unexpectedly quicker than you thought. I talked to a young 349 00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:42,000 Speaker 2: couple out in the lobby. They'd been trying to have 350 00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:45,520 Speaker 2: a baby for six years. This young lady had gone 351 00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:49,119 Speaker 2: through several miscarriages and for some reason she couldn't carry 352 00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:53,479 Speaker 2: a child. She'd been through different specialists, done everything they 353 00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:59,560 Speaker 2: could medically speaking, with no success. Years earlier, her sister 354 00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:02,800 Speaker 2: had a dream where she saw this young lady and 355 00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:07,320 Speaker 2: her husband with the most beautiful, blonde haired, blue eyed 356 00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:11,600 Speaker 2: baby boy that you can imagine. ND talked a couple 357 00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:15,080 Speaker 2: of times about possibly adopting a child, but they thought 358 00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:18,680 Speaker 2: that was way off in the distance. One Sunday morning, 359 00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:22,160 Speaker 2: they were here at service. I was talking about how 360 00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:24,920 Speaker 2: everything that has our name on it is coming in. 361 00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:27,840 Speaker 2: I said, the health that has your name on it 362 00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:31,080 Speaker 2: is coming in, the business is coming in. I specifically 363 00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:34,520 Speaker 2: mentioned the baby that has your name on it is 364 00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:40,320 Speaker 2: coming in. When they heard that, something ignited on the inside. 365 00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:43,560 Speaker 1: They knew that was for them. They left the service 366 00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:44,280 Speaker 1: at lunch. 367 00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:49,520 Speaker 2: About four hours later, unexpectedly, they received a phone call 368 00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:53,840 Speaker 2: asking if they'd be interested in adopting a baby that 369 00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:56,720 Speaker 2: was going to be born in a few months. Eight 370 00:19:56,800 --> 00:20:00,400 Speaker 2: weeks later, they were in the delivery room when their 371 00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:01,639 Speaker 2: little boy was born. 372 00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:03,120 Speaker 1: Just so happened. 373 00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:06,400 Speaker 2: He had blonde hair, blue eyes like the sister had 374 00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:10,760 Speaker 2: seen in the dream. But sitting in church that Sunday, 375 00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:15,200 Speaker 2: they never dreamed in a couple of days they would 376 00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:19,639 Speaker 2: have their baby boy. That was an unexpected delivery. It 377 00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:23,760 Speaker 2: happened sooner than they thought. What you've been dreaming about, 378 00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:26,439 Speaker 2: what you've been praying for, may look like it's a 379 00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:29,960 Speaker 2: long way off, But just like with this couple, God 380 00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:33,920 Speaker 2: has already put it en route. It's already headed your way. 381 00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:37,600 Speaker 2: You are close to your breakthrough, close to your healing, 382 00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:39,000 Speaker 2: close to the promotion. 383 00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:42,760 Speaker 1: It has your name on it. Keep honoring God. It's 384 00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:47,080 Speaker 1: going to show up sooner than expected. John Chapter four. 385 00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:51,840 Speaker 2: This government official came to see Jesus. His little son 386 00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:55,600 Speaker 2: was very sick and close to death. He had traveled 387 00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:58,919 Speaker 2: a day's journey to get to Galilee. He asked Jesus 388 00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:01,919 Speaker 2: if he would pray for his son. Jesus looked at 389 00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:03,760 Speaker 2: him and said, you can go back home. 390 00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:05,280 Speaker 1: Your son will live. 391 00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:10,399 Speaker 2: Jesus didn't pray, didn't take any time. He just declared 392 00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:13,879 Speaker 2: that healing was coming. This man could have been a 393 00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:17,760 Speaker 2: little offended, thinking wow, came all this way, didn't even 394 00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:20,960 Speaker 2: take time to pray. No, his attitude was, if he 395 00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:23,840 Speaker 2: says my son is going to live, if he says 396 00:21:23,880 --> 00:21:26,679 Speaker 2: healing is on the way, then I believe healing is 397 00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:27,200 Speaker 2: on the way. 398 00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:29,320 Speaker 1: He turned around went right back home. 399 00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:34,119 Speaker 2: When he got close, one of his assistants came running out, saying, 400 00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:37,960 Speaker 2: good news your little boy as well. He was so relieved, 401 00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:42,520 Speaker 2: so grateful. He asked what time everything started to change. 402 00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:45,800 Speaker 2: They said this all happened yesterday, about one o'clock in 403 00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:46,600 Speaker 2: the afternoon. 404 00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:50,679 Speaker 1: That was the exact time Jesus told him that his 405 00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:55,040 Speaker 1: little boy would live. Just like with this man. There 406 00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:58,840 Speaker 1: are promises. God has spoken to you, things that he's 407 00:21:58,840 --> 00:22:02,480 Speaker 1: put in your heart that you know we're going to happen. Dreams, goals, 408 00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:06,520 Speaker 1: divine connections. Turn around. The moment God spoke it, he 409 00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:09,280 Speaker 1: released it. It's already in your future. 410 00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:12,119 Speaker 2: It's just a matter of time before you walk into it. 411 00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:15,800 Speaker 2: When Jesus told this man, your little boy will live, 412 00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:21,639 Speaker 2: the scripture says he took Jesus at his word and departed. 413 00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:23,880 Speaker 1: Walking back home. He could have lied, I don't think 414 00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:26,800 Speaker 1: it's gonna happen. He didn't even pray. I think I'm 415 00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:29,120 Speaker 1: wasting my time. That would have stopped the miracle. 416 00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:32,640 Speaker 2: You have to do like this man, take God at 417 00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:38,800 Speaker 2: his word, make a decision. You're not gonna go around worried, doubting, discourage, 418 00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:42,040 Speaker 2: thinking it's never going to happen. No, stay in faith, 419 00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:46,240 Speaker 2: knowing that what God promised you has already been released. 420 00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:50,280 Speaker 2: It's already en route headed your way. We see this 421 00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:53,520 Speaker 2: principle with Daniel one time in the scripture. 422 00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:54,160 Speaker 1: He prayed. 423 00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:58,119 Speaker 2: Twenty one days later, the angel came with the answer 424 00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:01,040 Speaker 2: to the prayer. He asked the Amie angel, what took 425 00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:05,480 Speaker 2: you so long? The angel said, Daniel, the moment you prayed, 426 00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:09,119 Speaker 2: God dispatched me with the answer, But it took three 427 00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:10,640 Speaker 2: weeks for me to fight. 428 00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:12,320 Speaker 1: Through the forces of darkness. 429 00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:16,320 Speaker 2: Just like with Daniel, the moment you prayed, God released 430 00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:20,880 Speaker 2: the healing, He released the promotion. It's already en route now. 431 00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:23,600 Speaker 2: Do your part all through the day. Lord, thank you 432 00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:24,480 Speaker 2: that it's on the way. 433 00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:25,280 Speaker 1: Lord. 434 00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:28,320 Speaker 2: I know you're a faithful God. I know your hasten 435 00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:31,159 Speaker 2: your word to perform it. Lord, I believe that it 436 00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:32,359 Speaker 2: will happen even. 437 00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:33,800 Speaker 1: Sooner than expected. 438 00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:37,600 Speaker 2: Second Kings, Chapter seven. There was a great famine in 439 00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:41,560 Speaker 2: the city of Samaria. Food was so scarce that it 440 00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:45,600 Speaker 2: costs one hundred times what it normally would. On top 441 00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:49,359 Speaker 2: of that, a huge army had surrounded the city and 442 00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:52,399 Speaker 2: cut off the food supply. They were waiting for the 443 00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:55,119 Speaker 2: Israelites to start the death. Then they were going to 444 00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:59,040 Speaker 2: go in take their belongings. The prophet Elisha showed up 445 00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:02,439 Speaker 2: and said, by this time tomorrow there will be so 446 00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:04,800 Speaker 2: much food you'll be able. 447 00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:07,199 Speaker 1: To buy a loaf of bread for one penny. 448 00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:11,119 Speaker 2: God was saying things were about to turn around, and 449 00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:13,639 Speaker 2: it's going to happen faster than you think. 450 00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:16,160 Speaker 1: Overnight, in twenty four. 451 00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:20,359 Speaker 2: Hours, there's going to be abundance. The officer assisting the 452 00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:24,399 Speaker 2: king said, Elisha, have you lost your mind? Have you 453 00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:27,960 Speaker 2: watched the news lately? Have you seen the stock reports? 454 00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:30,760 Speaker 2: We are surrounded by a big army. We're in the 455 00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:33,960 Speaker 2: middle of a famine. Instead of taking God at his 456 00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:36,560 Speaker 2: word like the first government official. 457 00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:38,400 Speaker 1: He did just the opposite. 458 00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:42,600 Speaker 2: There were four lepers sitting outside the city gates of Samaria. 459 00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:45,800 Speaker 1: They thought, we have nothing to lose. We're going to 460 00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:46,560 Speaker 1: die anyway. 461 00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:49,640 Speaker 2: Let's go down to the enemy's camp and see what's 462 00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:54,520 Speaker 2: going on. As they were walking, God multiplied the sound 463 00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:56,719 Speaker 2: of their footsteps. 464 00:24:56,359 --> 00:24:59,960 Speaker 1: Caused it to sound like a huge army was attacking there. 465 00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:03,800 Speaker 2: Our enemies got so afraid they took off running, left 466 00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:06,840 Speaker 2: all their food, all their treasures, a whole camp filled 467 00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:10,640 Speaker 2: with supplies. The lepers went back told the Israelites, come 468 00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:14,639 Speaker 2: with us. There's more than enough, just like God promised. 469 00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:18,280 Speaker 2: There was so much food, so many supplies. You could 470 00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:22,320 Speaker 2: buy a loaf of bread for one penny. It happened suddenly, 471 00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:27,320 Speaker 2: It happened overnight. It may look like your situation is 472 00:25:27,320 --> 00:25:30,359 Speaker 2: going to take years to turn around, years to get well, 473 00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:31,320 Speaker 2: years to get out of that. 474 00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:33,080 Speaker 1: No way. In the natural. 475 00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:37,639 Speaker 2: The good news we serve a supernatural God. He's saying 476 00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:43,119 Speaker 2: it's going to happen suddenly, unexpectedly, quicker than you thought. 477 00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:46,680 Speaker 2: God has ways to turn it around that you've never 478 00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:53,040 Speaker 2: thought of. He specializes in unexpected deliveries. David never thought, 479 00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:56,600 Speaker 2: sitting in his darkest hour, that he was only three 480 00:25:56,680 --> 00:26:00,280 Speaker 2: days from the throne. These people never thought, in their 481 00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:03,480 Speaker 2: greatest need they were one day from abundance. 482 00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:06,400 Speaker 1: God did it for them. He can do it for you. 483 00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:11,159 Speaker 1: I believe you're about to see some of those blessings. 484 00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:14,359 Speaker 2: That have already been en round Like Daniel, the moment 485 00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:16,080 Speaker 2: you prayed, God released it. 486 00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:20,280 Speaker 1: You're about to see the healing, the promotion, the breakthrough. 487 00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:23,960 Speaker 2: Do like this government official, take God at his word, 488 00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:27,440 Speaker 2: keep thanking him that the answers on the way, keep 489 00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:31,399 Speaker 2: thanking him for unexpected deliveries. If you'll do this, I 490 00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:35,640 Speaker 2: believe and declare God is going to hasten his word 491 00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:36,439 Speaker 2: to perform it. 492 00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:40,679 Speaker 1: Like these people. You're going to see some overnight turnarounds. 493 00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:44,400 Speaker 2: Like David, You're going to see some seventy two hour breakthroughs. 494 00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:47,720 Speaker 2: Get ready, it's gonna happen sooner than expected. 495 00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:51,640 Speaker 1: In Jesus' name. If you receive it, tend to say 496 00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:52,840 Speaker 1: amen today. 497 00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:56,840 Speaker 2: We never like to close our broadcast without giving you 498 00:26:56,880 --> 00:26:59,560 Speaker 2: an opportunity to make Jesus the lord of your life. 499 00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:03,240 Speaker 1: What would you pray with me? Just say Lord Jesus 500 00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:09,240 Speaker 1: I'll repent of my sins. Come into my heart.
