Speaker 4: at Lake World.

37
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:41,560
Speaker 2: Thanks so much for tuning in. Thank you again for

38
00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:42,119
Speaker 2: coming out.

39
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:45,120
Speaker 4: I like to start with something funny, and I heard

40
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:49,320
Speaker 4: about this positive farmer and negative farmer. When it would rain,

41
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:51,919
Speaker 4: the positive farmer will say, Lord, thank you for watering

42
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:54,640
Speaker 4: our crops. The negative farmer say, yeah, but if it

43
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:57,440
Speaker 4: keeps it up, it's going to rock the roots. When

44
00:01:57,480 --> 00:02:00,240
Speaker 4: the sun would come out, positive farmer, Lord, thank you

45
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:03,800
Speaker 4: for giving our plants valuable nutrients. Negative farmers they ah,

46
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:05,480
Speaker 4: but if it keeps this up, it's going.

47
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:06,440
Speaker 2: To scorch the crops.

48
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:09,840
Speaker 4: One day they were in a boat bird hunting together,

49
00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:13,239
Speaker 4: and the positive farmer just got a brand new bird dog,

50
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:14,799
Speaker 4: and he was so proud of him.

51
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:18,160
Speaker 2: He shot a bird. It fell in the water. Said

52
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:19,480
Speaker 2: to the negative farmer, watch this.

53
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:22,800
Speaker 4: The dog jumped out of the boat, ran on top

54
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 4: of the water, picked up the bird, ran back on

55
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:28,440
Speaker 4: top of the water, put it in the boat. Said

56
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:31,280
Speaker 4: what'd you think about that? Negative farmer said, I should

57
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:33,120
Speaker 4: have known it. That dog can't even swim.

58
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:37,639
Speaker 2: Hold up your bible, say it like you mean it.

59
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:40,360
Speaker 2: This is my Bible. I am what it says.

60
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:42,959
Speaker 4: I am. I have what it says I have. I

61
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:45,639
Speaker 4: can do what it says I can do. Today I

62
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:48,840
Speaker 4: will be talked the word of God. I'll boldly confess

63
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:52,680
Speaker 4: my mind is alert, my heart is receptive. I will

64
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:56,320
Speaker 4: never be the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you.

65
00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:00,360
Speaker 4: I want to talk to you today about it's too small.

66
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:04,280
Speaker 4: We all have dreams and goals, and we do our

67
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:07,280
Speaker 4: best to stretch our faith and believe that one day,

68
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:10,000
Speaker 4: if we work hard enough and get the right breaks,

69
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:13,200
Speaker 4: meet the right people, we'll see that dream come to pass.

70
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 4: In our mind, that would be big, a great accomplishment.

71
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:20,600
Speaker 4: But what's big to us is not big to God.

72
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:27,000
Speaker 4: He created universes, He spoke worlds into existence. God's dream

73
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:29,880
Speaker 4: for your life is so much bigger than your own.

74
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:33,000
Speaker 4: We think, if I could just pay my house off,

75
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:36,520
Speaker 4: that would be a dream come true. God says that's

76
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:39,480
Speaker 4: too small. I want to bless you so you not

77
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:42,120
Speaker 4: only pay your house off, but so you can help

78
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:45,320
Speaker 4: others pay their houses off. Or we think, if I

79
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 4: could just get that promotion at work, be able to

80
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 4: run my department. God says that's too small. I want

81
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 4: you to run that whole company. Or if I could

82
00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:57,080
Speaker 4: just overcome this illness, if I could just get back

83
00:03:57,160 --> 00:03:59,200
Speaker 4: on my feet again, that would be so great.

84
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:01,400
Speaker 2: Says that's too small.

85
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:03,960
Speaker 4: You're not only going to get back on your feet,

86
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 4: You're going to run again. You're going to feel better

87
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:12,280
Speaker 4: than you've ever felt. See, we think ordinary, God thinks extraordinary.

88
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:16,760
Speaker 4: Whatever you're dreaming about, whatever you're believing for, God is

89
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:21,400
Speaker 4: saying it's too small. He's going to supercise it. He's

90
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:26,919
Speaker 4: an overflow God. Ephesian says. God can do exceedingly, abundantly,

91
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:30,479
Speaker 4: above and beyond what we think. Why don't you take

92
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:33,239
Speaker 4: the limits off of God. You may not see away,

93
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:37,200
Speaker 4: but God has a way. One touch of God's favor

94
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:39,720
Speaker 4: can take you further than you could go on your

95
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:43,920
Speaker 4: own in a lifetime. God did not create you to

96
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:48,160
Speaker 4: live a little life with little dreams, little goals, little passion,

97
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:53,279
Speaker 4: little influence, little house. God thinks big, he thinks abundance,

98
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:57,599
Speaker 4: he thinks expansive. He told the Israelites, I am bringing

99
00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:02,320
Speaker 4: you into a wide land, a spacious land, flowing with

100
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:07,640
Speaker 4: milk and honey. God has something bigger, something better, something

101
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:09,120
Speaker 4: more rewarding in front of you.

102
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:11,400
Speaker 2: Don't get comfortable where you are.

103
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:15,520
Speaker 4: It's easy, they well, Joel, God's blessed me. I'm happy,

104
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:17,040
Speaker 4: I'm healthy, I have no complaints.

105
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:17,719
Speaker 2: That's good.

106
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:21,440
Speaker 4: Always be grateful. Learn to be happy where you are,

107
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:25,840
Speaker 4: But don't settle where you are. God never performs his

108
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:27,800
Speaker 4: greatest victories in the past.

109
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:29,560
Speaker 2: They're always in the future.

110
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:34,200
Speaker 4: What God has done, the promotion, the good breaks the

111
00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:36,159
Speaker 4: favor in God's mind.

112
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:37,880
Speaker 2: That was a small thing.

113
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:41,680
Speaker 4: You haven't touched the surface of what God has in store.

114
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:45,279
Speaker 4: He's going to open doors you never dreamed would open.

115
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:48,200
Speaker 4: He's going to bring talent out of you that you

116
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:52,520
Speaker 4: didn't know you had. You're going to see explosive blessings,

117
00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:56,320
Speaker 4: blessings that thrust you to a new level. What you

118
00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:59,480
Speaker 4: think is big right now that house. God blessed you

119
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:03,400
Speaker 4: with the scholarship, the promotion, the contract. One day you'll

120
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:07,280
Speaker 4: look back and realize that was a small thing. In

121
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:10,920
Speaker 4: the scripture, Joseph was falsely accused and put in prison.

122
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:14,479
Speaker 4: I can imagine him praying the year after year, God,

123
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:17,160
Speaker 4: please get me out of this prison. God, you know

124
00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:20,520
Speaker 4: I didn't do anything wrong. That was his dream to

125
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:24,800
Speaker 4: one day be free. But God said, Joseph, that's too small.

126
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:27,680
Speaker 4: I'm not only going to bring you out of prison.

127
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:30,760
Speaker 4: I'm going to make you ruler over the whole nation.

128
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:35,200
Speaker 4: In a few years, when Joseph was in charge over

129
00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:38,560
Speaker 4: all of Egypt, I'm sure there were nights he went

130
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:41,599
Speaker 4: outside and looked up at the stars and thought, God,

131
00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:44,920
Speaker 4: I never dreamed you would put me here. I was

132
00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:47,120
Speaker 4: just praying to get out of prison. But God, you

133
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:51,840
Speaker 4: supersized what I was dreaming about. He realized he was

134
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:56,960
Speaker 4: thinking way too small. Like Joseph, matter what you're praying about,

135
00:06:57,040 --> 00:06:59,480
Speaker 4: whatever you're believing for, it may be big in your mind,

136
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:03,640
Speaker 4: but God's mind, it's a small thing. God, just help

137
00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:05,480
Speaker 4: me to pay my bills. Help me to make it

138
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:08,880
Speaker 4: through this month. God says that's too small. He wants

139
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:11,760
Speaker 4: to bring you into overflow. He wants you to lend

140
00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:16,000
Speaker 4: and not borrow. God, I'm so lonely. Just bring somebody

141
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:18,280
Speaker 4: into my life. I don't care at this point. God,

142
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:21,440
Speaker 4: I'll take anybody. No, you may have settled, but God

143
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:24,720
Speaker 4: didn't settle. He's going to bring somebody into your life

144
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:26,040
Speaker 4: greater than you imagine.

145
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:30,360
Speaker 2: Somebody that honors him, Somebody that loves you.

146
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:34,679
Speaker 4: That's fun, that's talented, it's well off, that's good looking.

147
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:37,400
Speaker 2: Throw that in there too.

148
00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:42,480
Speaker 4: You got to stir your faith up. The only way

149
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:44,280
Speaker 4: this is going to help is if you let the

150
00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:47,160
Speaker 4: seed take root. It's easy to think, Wow, this isn't

151
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:50,240
Speaker 4: for me today, Joe. You don't know my situation. I've

152
00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:53,880
Speaker 4: been through a lot of disappointments. My dreams look impossible. No,

153
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:56,360
Speaker 4: don't talk yourself out of it. You don't have to

154
00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:59,000
Speaker 4: figure it out. All you have to do is believe.

155
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:01,840
Speaker 2: Say yes, God, this is for me.

156
00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:04,960
Speaker 4: I believe your plans for me are bigger than I

157
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:05,720
Speaker 4: could imagine.

158
00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:08,480
Speaker 2: That you have something amazing in my future.

159
00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:11,920
Speaker 4: So I'm taking the limits off of you. When the

160
00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:15,640
Speaker 4: Israelites were in slavery, they were forced to make bricks

161
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:19,120
Speaker 4: all day long. They were given quotas that were almost

162
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:22,720
Speaker 4: impossible to meet now. At one point, fro got upset

163
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:25,840
Speaker 4: with them and had the supervisors take away all the

164
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:29,440
Speaker 4: straw they needed for bricks. They had the same amount

165
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:32,000
Speaker 4: of quota, but they had to go find their own straw.

166
00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:36,280
Speaker 4: No doubt, they prayed, God, please give us straw. God,

167
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:38,800
Speaker 4: you know these supervisors are going to get upset. We're

168
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:41,920
Speaker 4: not going to make our quotas. They had been pushed

169
00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:45,400
Speaker 4: down for so long. They had such a limited vision

170
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:49,920
Speaker 4: when they were praying for more straw. In effect, they

171
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:54,400
Speaker 4: were praying to become a better slave. God said, that's

172
00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:57,480
Speaker 4: too small. I don't want to make you a better slave.

173
00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:00,720
Speaker 4: I want to bring you totally out of that bondage.

174
00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:03,720
Speaker 4: I created you as the head and not the taell,

175
00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:08,439
Speaker 4: the victor and not the victim. But too often, like them,

176
00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:12,199
Speaker 4: we're praying to become a better slave. God, just help

177
00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:14,880
Speaker 4: me to endure this sickness. God, just give me a

178
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:17,599
Speaker 4: roof over my head and I'll be happy. God, just

179
00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:20,400
Speaker 4: help me to learn to live with my depression. No,

180
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:21,720
Speaker 4: it's not your depression.

181
00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:24,360
Speaker 2: Quit praying to become a better slave.

182
00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:27,640
Speaker 4: That's too small for you. God wants you to reign

183
00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:31,719
Speaker 4: in life. You have seeds of greatness on the inside.

184
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:35,040
Speaker 4: You are destined to leave your mark on this generation.

185
00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:39,640
Speaker 4: You have to enlarge your vision. What God has planned

186
00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:43,320
Speaker 4: for you is not little to get by, to endure,

187
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:46,040
Speaker 4: to take the leftovers, to be second class.

188
00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:48,760
Speaker 2: God has a big life for you.

189
00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:53,559
Speaker 4: He's bringing you into a wide land, a place of abundance,

190
00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:57,040
Speaker 4: something that you've never seen. He's not going to just

191
00:09:57,240 --> 00:09:59,760
Speaker 4: make you a better slave. He's going to set you

192
00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:04,040
Speaker 4: to totally free, free from addictions, free from sickness, free

193
00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:06,920
Speaker 4: from depression, free from poverty and lack.

194
00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:11,160
Speaker 2: No matter what level you're at, no matter where you

195
00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:12,600
Speaker 2: are received.

196
00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:17,520
Speaker 4: This into your spirit is too small. God has something better,

197
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:24,280
Speaker 4: something bigger, more influence, more creativity, more connections, more resources.

198
00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:27,560
Speaker 4: He's going to release a favor that's going to thrust

199
00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:31,280
Speaker 4: you into a new level of your destiny. The reason

200
00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:35,040
Speaker 4: you feel something igniting on the inside, that stirring in

201
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:39,280
Speaker 4: your spirit is God's speaking to your destiny. That's your

202
00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:43,280
Speaker 4: spirit bearing witness with the greatness God's placed in you.

203
00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:48,800
Speaker 4: Isaiah forty nine. God was telling Isaiah about his future

204
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:51,840
Speaker 4: and all he had planned for him, how God knew

205
00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:54,920
Speaker 4: him before he was formed in his mother's wound, how

206
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:58,160
Speaker 4: he would be a great prophet. Isaiah was so honored.

207
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:01,240
Speaker 4: He said, yes, God, I'll do it. I'll help bring

208
00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:06,520
Speaker 4: all of the Israel back together. God said in verse six, Isaiah,

209
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:11,000
Speaker 4: it's too small a thing for you to just restore Israel.

210
00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:14,800
Speaker 4: I will make you a light to the gentiles and

211
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:17,600
Speaker 4: help you bring salvation to the ends of the earth.

212
00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:22,240
Speaker 4: Isaiah's vision was limited. He said, God, I'll do it.

213
00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:24,320
Speaker 4: I'll help my own people, no problem.

214
00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:25,000
Speaker 2: That's awesome.

215
00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:29,200
Speaker 4: God said, that's too small. I've got something bigger planned.

216
00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:33,120
Speaker 4: I'm going to supersize what you're thinking about. I don't

217
00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:35,439
Speaker 4: want you to just help the Jews. I want you

218
00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:39,800
Speaker 4: to help all of the Gentiles. In other words, Isaiah

219
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:45,479
Speaker 4: thought he could touch a nation. God was thinking nations sometimes,

220
00:11:45,640 --> 00:11:49,360
Speaker 4: like Isaiah, our vision is limited. God, if I can

221
00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:52,240
Speaker 4: just go as far as my parents, God, if you

222
00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:54,560
Speaker 4: just help me get out of this old neighborhood, help

223
00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:57,760
Speaker 4: me to make it to sales manager. God is saying

224
00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:00,480
Speaker 4: to you what he said to Isaiah, what you have

225
00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:05,240
Speaker 4: in mind is too small, your plans, your goals, that's

226
00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:08,520
Speaker 4: a part of it. But what God has planned for you,

227
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:10,560
Speaker 4: if he showed you right now.

228
00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:12,079
Speaker 2: It would boggle your mind.

229
00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:15,400
Speaker 4: The doors he's going to open, the places he's going

230
00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:18,240
Speaker 4: to take you, the people you're going to impact, is

231
00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:21,880
Speaker 4: going to be much greater than you imagine. It's too

232
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:25,400
Speaker 4: small a thing for you to just accomplish your own dreams.

233
00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:29,040
Speaker 4: There are God size dreams you haven't even thought about.

234
00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:31,280
Speaker 2: It's too small a thing.

235
00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:34,040
Speaker 4: For you to just go as far as your parents.

236
00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:36,640
Speaker 4: God is a progressive God.

237
00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:38,480
Speaker 2: He wants you to go further.

238
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:44,280
Speaker 4: He's already designed you to supersede previous generations. Don't put

239
00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:47,839
Speaker 4: it on autopilot. Well I'm doing good enough. Good enough

240
00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:51,240
Speaker 4: is not your destiny. It's too small a thing for

241
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:53,960
Speaker 4: you to just get out of debt. That's one part.

242
00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:57,080
Speaker 4: But the next part is to be blessed with such

243
00:12:57,160 --> 00:13:00,760
Speaker 4: abundance that you can be a blessing to others. The

244
00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:02,840
Speaker 4: scripture says God will take.

245
00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:04,319
Speaker 2: You from glory to glory.

246
00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:09,160
Speaker 4: My encouragement, don't get stuck in this glory. There's another

247
00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:13,679
Speaker 4: glory coming if you'll keep honoring God, living with expectancy

248
00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:17,880
Speaker 4: His blessings will chase you down. The right people will

249
00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:20,800
Speaker 4: show up. Doors will open for you that you've never

250
00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:23,839
Speaker 4: dreamed would open. God will bring talent out that you

251
00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:24,760
Speaker 4: didn't know you had.

252
00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:27,000
Speaker 2: He'll get you to where you're supposed to be.

253
00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:31,600
Speaker 4: In nineteen thirty eight, there was a seventeen year old

254
00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:36,199
Speaker 4: boy selling popcorn in the Isis Theater in Fort Worth, Texas.

255
00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:38,480
Speaker 2: A drop out of high school.

256
00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:41,520
Speaker 4: From a very poor family, didn't look like he had

257
00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:44,319
Speaker 4: much of a future. His plan was to just keep

258
00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:46,679
Speaker 4: working in the theater. He was glad to even have

259
00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:50,959
Speaker 4: a job. But God, in his mercy, looked down from

260
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:54,360
Speaker 4: the heavens and said, it's too small a thing for

261
00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:57,880
Speaker 4: John Osteen to spend his life working in the theater.

262
00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:03,160
Speaker 4: I've put seeds of greatness. I've destined him to leave

263
00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:07,800
Speaker 4: his mark on his generation. At seventeen, my father gave

264
00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:11,439
Speaker 4: his life to Christ and became a minister. On Mother's

265
00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:15,920
Speaker 4: Day nineteen fifty nine, he started Lakewood Church in a

266
00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:21,359
Speaker 4: Rundown feed store with ninety members. He was happy fulfilling

267
00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:24,360
Speaker 4: his purpose faithfully ministering to those.

268
00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:26,000
Speaker 2: Ninety people a week after week.

269
00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:30,040
Speaker 4: But again God said, that's too small a thing. I've

270
00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:34,520
Speaker 4: destined you to touch nations. My father started not only

271
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:39,720
Speaker 4: traveling overseas ministering, but people from around the world begin

272
00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:43,120
Speaker 4: to come to Lakewood. At one conference, there were one

273
00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:47,160
Speaker 4: hundred and fifty nations represented. But as a seventeen year

274
00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:49,920
Speaker 4: old boy, my father thought he had hit the lottery

275
00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:53,360
Speaker 4: when he got the job at the theater. He was thrilled.

276
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:56,800
Speaker 4: But God loves you too much to let you stay

277
00:14:56,920 --> 00:15:00,640
Speaker 4: in mediocrity. God can see what you can't see. He

278
00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:06,280
Speaker 4: sees potential, gifts, talents. He's already lined up an incredible

279
00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:10,040
Speaker 4: life for you, and it's easy to get satisfied. On Joel,

280
00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:12,400
Speaker 4: I've reached my limits. This is as good as it

281
00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:15,960
Speaker 4: gets you. Now, God is saying it's too small. I've

282
00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:19,480
Speaker 4: got more in store. Don't put your stakes down. You

283
00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:23,480
Speaker 4: wouldn't be alive unless God had something amazing in your future.

284
00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:27,800
Speaker 4: Think about David as a shepherd boy. He was out

285
00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:30,640
Speaker 4: in the fields taking care of his father sheep day

286
00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:34,800
Speaker 4: in and day out, feeding them, protecting them, fighting off

287
00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:38,000
Speaker 4: the wild animals. He was faithful, he didn't slack off.

288
00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:41,600
Speaker 4: He just kept being his best. God said, David, this

289
00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:44,840
Speaker 4: is too small a thing for you. It's part of

290
00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:47,840
Speaker 4: your destiny, but it's not the end of your destiny.

291
00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:52,280
Speaker 4: He went out and defeated Goliath, became a national hero.

292
00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:55,560
Speaker 4: King Saul asked him to come work in the palace.

293
00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:59,160
Speaker 4: A dream come true, I'm sure. David thought, this is it,

294
00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:02,840
Speaker 4: this is fair, fantastic. I've made it. But God did

295
00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:06,720
Speaker 4: not create us to reach one level and stop. When

296
00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:09,880
Speaker 4: we think, Oh, God, thank you, I've accomplished my dreams.

297
00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:14,240
Speaker 4: God says, I appreciate your thanks, but I'm not finished

298
00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:16,960
Speaker 4: with you. It's too small a thing for you to

299
00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:20,280
Speaker 4: stay there. I've got something bigger in our mind.

300
00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:21,200
Speaker 2: It could be huge.

301
00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:25,120
Speaker 4: Just got the promotion, just moved into the compact center,

302
00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:27,120
Speaker 4: just met the person of my dreams.

303
00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:29,960
Speaker 2: God did more than I can ask or think the

304
00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:30,600
Speaker 2: whole time.

305
00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:34,560
Speaker 4: God's into heaven saying, you haven't seen anything yet. I'm

306
00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:35,600
Speaker 4: glad you're happy.

307
00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:37,000
Speaker 2: But that's a small thing.

308
00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:41,880
Speaker 4: God's idea of big is much different than our idea big.

309
00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:47,600
Speaker 4: David not only ended up serving the king, he became

310
00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:51,160
Speaker 4: the king. He thought, God, Wow, you've amazed me with

311
00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:55,120
Speaker 4: your goodness. God said, still, it's too small a thing, David.

312
00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:57,720
Speaker 4: I'm going to put one of your descendants on the

313
00:16:57,840 --> 00:17:02,200
Speaker 4: throne for the next one thousand generations. What am I saying,

314
00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:06,360
Speaker 4: where you are in God's eyes is a small thing.

315
00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:11,240
Speaker 4: Whatever level you're at, God has something in your future

316
00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:16,280
Speaker 4: so much bigger, better, more rewarding. God loves you too

317
00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:18,080
Speaker 4: much to let you stay where you are.

318
00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:20,080
Speaker 2: He's going to keep pushing you.

319
00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:25,240
Speaker 4: Stretching you, even at times making you uncomfortable, to get

320
00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:28,680
Speaker 4: you into the fullness of your destiny. When I was

321
00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:31,600
Speaker 4: in high school, during the summers, I would work at

322
00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:36,040
Speaker 4: Lakewood in the mail room, packaging my father's books, filling

323
00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:39,320
Speaker 4: the orders and shipping them out. God said, Joe, that's

324
00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:41,920
Speaker 4: fine for now, but that's too small a thing for

325
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:45,320
Speaker 4: you to stay here. After college, I came back and

326
00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:50,320
Speaker 4: started the television ministry at Lakewood. I loved cameras, lighting, editing,

327
00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:54,240
Speaker 4: anything that had to do with production. For seventeen years

328
00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:56,959
Speaker 4: behind the scenes, I was very fulfilled.

329
00:17:57,480 --> 00:17:59,159
Speaker 2: Travel the world with my parents.

330
00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:03,000
Speaker 4: Didn't my best to make the Lakewood broadcast look as

331
00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:06,160
Speaker 4: good as possible. I thought that's how I would spend

332
00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:09,119
Speaker 4: my life. But when my father went to be with

333
00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:12,399
Speaker 4: the Lord in nineteen ninety nine, I knew I was

334
00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:15,000
Speaker 4: supposed to step up and pasture the church. I felt

335
00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:19,160
Speaker 4: it so strongly, but I had never ministered before. One

336
00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:23,000
Speaker 4: of the first things I did was canceled my dad's

337
00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:25,199
Speaker 4: national television broadcast.

338
00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:26,560
Speaker 2: I thought, I'm not.

339
00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:29,040
Speaker 4: Going to get on television. I don't know how to minister.

340
00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:30,200
Speaker 2: Nobody's going to listen to me.

341
00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:33,600
Speaker 4: I would be embarrassed. I told Victoria what I'd done

342
00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:36,440
Speaker 4: that night. She said, Joe, you need to call that

343
00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:39,680
Speaker 4: man and get the airtime back. People are going to

344
00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:42,159
Speaker 4: be watching all over the world to see what happens

345
00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:46,360
Speaker 4: to Lakewood. She talked me into keeping that airtime over

346
00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:50,040
Speaker 4: the next few months. I couldn't believe it. People actually

347
00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:53,879
Speaker 4: listened to what I was saying. I knew there was

348
00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:58,000
Speaker 4: a God of miracles. We never dreamed that the church

349
00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:01,800
Speaker 4: would grow. They were about six thousand people coming at

350
00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:05,440
Speaker 4: that time, and I thought, if we could just maintain

351
00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:09,000
Speaker 4: what my parents had built, that would be big. But

352
00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:13,240
Speaker 4: God's big is much different than our big. The scripture

353
00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:16,080
Speaker 4: says God's thoughts are higher than our thoughts.

354
00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:19,400
Speaker 2: My big was to maintain.

355
00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:24,480
Speaker 4: God's big was to multiply. My big was to hold on.

356
00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:29,000
Speaker 4: God's big was to propel forward. Our big is to

357
00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:32,440
Speaker 4: pay our bills. God's big is to be debt free

358
00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:35,720
Speaker 4: and have plenty left over. Our big is to get

359
00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:39,760
Speaker 4: that promotion. God's big is to own your own company.

360
00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:42,880
Speaker 4: Our big is to just make it through the illness.

361
00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:46,359
Speaker 4: God's big is to come out better than you were before.

362
00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:50,040
Speaker 4: When my father went to be with the Lord, we

363
00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:53,760
Speaker 4: had an eight thousand seat auditorium was a large church

364
00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:57,880
Speaker 4: even then. But God said that's too small. I've got

365
00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:01,399
Speaker 4: a compact center in store. I've got Yankee stadiums to

366
00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:04,040
Speaker 4: fill out. I've got books to publish. I've got world

367
00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:07,480
Speaker 4: leaders to me. All through my life, just when I

368
00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:11,280
Speaker 4: thought I'd reached my limits, God would come along and say,

369
00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:15,480
Speaker 4: that's good, but it's too small. I'm asking you to

370
00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:19,160
Speaker 4: stir your faith up. Get ready to go where you've

371
00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:23,280
Speaker 4: never been. God told the Israelites you have not passed

372
00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:27,159
Speaker 4: this way before. There are new mountains to climb, there

373
00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:30,639
Speaker 4: are new opportunities coming your way, and where you are

374
00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:34,000
Speaker 4: may be big. In your mind. You feel blessed you've

375
00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:37,720
Speaker 4: reached a certain level. But in God's mind, that's too

376
00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:42,200
Speaker 4: small to stay. Whatever you're dreaming about, God's going to

377
00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:44,879
Speaker 4: supersize it. He's going to do more than you can

378
00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:48,080
Speaker 4: ask or think. The real question is are you ready?

379
00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:51,760
Speaker 4: Are you in agreement? There's about to be a downpour

380
00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:53,320
Speaker 4: of God's favor, an.

381
00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:55,960
Speaker 2: Abundance of brain like a flood.

382
00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:58,760
Speaker 4: It's going to thrust you where you could not go

383
00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:02,360
Speaker 4: on your own. That's what happened to a friend of mine,

384
00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:05,640
Speaker 4: a Lakewood member. He grew up in a small town

385
00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:09,560
Speaker 4: in Kentucky, very poor, didn't look like he would go

386
00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:10,560
Speaker 4: far in life.

387
00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:13,679
Speaker 2: But this young man had a dream to help others.

388
00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:16,480
Speaker 4: And as a ten year old boy, he saw a

389
00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:21,440
Speaker 4: program on television about children that didn't have food or clothing,

390
00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:25,400
Speaker 4: and back then, for fifteen dollars a month, you could

391
00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:29,840
Speaker 4: sponsor a child. He was so moved he started mowen

392
00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:33,479
Speaker 4: lawns in the neighborhood to raise the money to support

393
00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:36,680
Speaker 4: a child. Nobody asked him to do it. He didn't

394
00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:39,240
Speaker 4: tell his parents. He just took this step of faith

395
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:43,680
Speaker 4: and supporting one child was good. But God said that's

396
00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:47,600
Speaker 4: too small for you. I've got something bigger, and against

397
00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:50,399
Speaker 4: all odds, he was able to go to medical school.

398
00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:55,200
Speaker 4: During the summer, he would take missions trips overseas to

399
00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:59,680
Speaker 4: help treat and care for needy children. God his medical degree,

400
00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:03,320
Speaker 4: Star did his practice. In the spare time. He would

401
00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:07,240
Speaker 4: call the suppliers and tell them what he was doing overseas.

402
00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:13,159
Speaker 4: They started giving him big crates of medicines vaccines that

403
00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:15,040
Speaker 4: he could ship over to the children.

404
00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:16,679
Speaker 2: It began to explode.

405
00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:21,040
Speaker 4: One company gave him a million pairs of children's hues.

406
00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:24,920
Speaker 4: In the last few years, our friend doctor Todd Price,

407
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:29,840
Speaker 4: he has helped vaccinate free of charge, over fifty million children.

408
00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:37,240
Speaker 4: Not only that, he has donated medicine supplies vaccines totaling

409
00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:41,520
Speaker 4: over one billion dollars. As a young boy, he thought

410
00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:45,959
Speaker 4: it was a big deal to sponsor one child fifteen bucks. Friends,

411
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:49,600
Speaker 4: God knows how to supersize your dream what.

412
00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:50,600
Speaker 2: You're believing for.

413
00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:53,080
Speaker 4: It may be big to you, but it's not big

414
00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:57,160
Speaker 4: to God. Now a billion dollars later, God is still

415
00:22:57,200 --> 00:22:59,399
Speaker 4: staying to him, that's too small for you. I've got

416
00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:03,159
Speaker 4: something bigger. What am I saying? No matter where you are,

417
00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:06,200
Speaker 4: you haven't touched the surface of what God has in store.

418
00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:08,280
Speaker 4: Why don't you take the limits off of him?

419
00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:09,639
Speaker 2: Well, Joel, this.

420
00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:12,640
Speaker 4: Would never happen for me. I don't have the connections.

421
00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:16,639
Speaker 4: You may not, but God does you have friends in

422
00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:20,159
Speaker 4: high places. Well, I come from the wrong family. We

423
00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:23,080
Speaker 4: never get any good breaks. No, you come from the

424
00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:26,280
Speaker 4: right family. You're a child of the most high God.

425
00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:30,560
Speaker 4: Your heavenly Father owns it all. He makes streets out

426
00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:34,520
Speaker 4: of gold. Start taking steps of faith. Do what you

427
00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:38,200
Speaker 4: can and God will do what you can't. Do the natural,

428
00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:41,639
Speaker 4: and God will do the supernatural. He'll bring the right people,

429
00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:44,720
Speaker 4: he'll give you the right breaks. He'll cause things to

430
00:23:44,840 --> 00:23:48,200
Speaker 4: fall into place. There's a young lady in the scripture

431
00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:51,600
Speaker 4: named Ruth. Her husband was killed in a battle, and

432
00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:55,160
Speaker 4: she and her mother in law, Naomi, moved to another city.

433
00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:59,080
Speaker 4: Every morning, Ruth would go out into the fields and

434
00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:02,560
Speaker 4: pick up the leftover wheat that the workers had missed.

435
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:07,240
Speaker 4: That's how they survived. They were sustained that way. It

436
00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:10,280
Speaker 4: was fine for a season, but God had something better.

437
00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:14,840
Speaker 4: The owner of that field, a man named Boaz, noticed Ruth.

438
00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:15,960
Speaker 2: He liked her.

439
00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:20,280
Speaker 4: He told his workers to leave handfuls of wheat on

440
00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:23,840
Speaker 4: purpose for Ruth. Now, when she went out in the morning,

441
00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:26,560
Speaker 4: she didn't have to work nearly as hard. The wheat

442
00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:29,200
Speaker 4: was right there in her path, and she could have

443
00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:31,760
Speaker 4: lived that way the rest of her life. But this

444
00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:35,800
Speaker 4: shows us the heart of God. God said, Ruth, that's

445
00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:38,679
Speaker 4: too small a thing for you. I've got something bigger

446
00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:43,720
Speaker 4: in store. One day, Boaz, that owner, introduced himself to Ruth.

447
00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:47,000
Speaker 4: Long story short, they fell in love and got married.

448
00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:51,000
Speaker 4: From that point on, Ruth never had to go pick

449
00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:55,560
Speaker 4: up the leftovers again. She came into an explosive blessing.

450
00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:59,480
Speaker 2: She went from working in the field to owning the field.

451
00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:03,760
Speaker 4: That's God's dream for you, to bring you into overflow,

452
00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:07,200
Speaker 4: to where you have more than enough. And here's the key.

453
00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:10,880
Speaker 4: Ruth was content picking up the leftover.

454
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:11,800
Speaker 2: She didn't complain.

455
00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:15,840
Speaker 4: She was faithful where she was, but she didn't settle

456
00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:20,320
Speaker 4: where she was. Deep down, she knew God had something bigger.

457
00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:24,960
Speaker 4: That's sustained she and Naomi for a season. But God

458
00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:27,640
Speaker 4: doesn't want you to live off the leftovers.

459
00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:33,679
Speaker 2: He didn't create you to constantly struggle. He created you to.

460
00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:38,120
Speaker 4: Live an abundant life. You have royalty in your veins.

461
00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:41,400
Speaker 4: You may be there for a season, but don't let

462
00:25:41,480 --> 00:25:44,960
Speaker 4: it become permanent in your thinking. That's too small for you.

463
00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:49,280
Speaker 4: You have greatness on the inside. You have the favor

464
00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:53,000
Speaker 4: of God. The forces that are for you are greater

465
00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:56,120
Speaker 4: than the forces that are against you. Now do like Ruth,

466
00:25:56,800 --> 00:26:01,080
Speaker 4: do like doctor Price, keep helping others, being your best.

467
00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:04,560
Speaker 4: You're not only going to come into your hens fuls

468
00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:08,520
Speaker 4: on purpose, but you're going to see these explosive blessings

469
00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:11,840
Speaker 4: where you go from working at a company to owning

470
00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:15,040
Speaker 4: your company, from teaching at the school to run in

471
00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:19,600
Speaker 4: the school, from supporting one child to helping millions of children.

472
00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:24,200
Speaker 2: Have a big vision. Make room for God to do

473
00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:25,040
Speaker 2: something new.

474
00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:29,880
Speaker 4: One thing I've learned is you cannot outdream God. God

475
00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:33,960
Speaker 4: thinks big, He thinks overflow, he thinks more than enough.

476
00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:37,840
Speaker 4: Whatever you're dreaming about, you need to get ready. God's

477
00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:41,600
Speaker 4: going to supersize it. Deuteronomy one to eleven is my

478
00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:45,600
Speaker 4: prayer for you. May the Lord, God of your fathers

479
00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:49,720
Speaker 4: make you a thousand times more than you are. Can

480
00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:53,840
Speaker 4: you receive it a thousand times more creativity, a thousand

481
00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:59,440
Speaker 4: times more influence, a thousand times more resources. We think, God,

482
00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:01,960
Speaker 4: if you're just give me that dollar twenty an hour raise,

483
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:02,639
Speaker 4: I'll be happy.

484
00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:03,520
Speaker 2: God.

485
00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:05,840
Speaker 4: If you just keep my children out of jail, that's

486
00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:08,960
Speaker 4: too small. God wants your children to be mighty in

487
00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:11,360
Speaker 4: the land. He wants you to set a new standard

488
00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:15,440
Speaker 4: for your family. I mentioned that my dad started Lakewood

489
00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:18,639
Speaker 4: with ninety people in nineteen fifty nine. If you added

490
00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:21,800
Speaker 4: up everyone that came through the year to Lakewood now,

491
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:25,440
Speaker 4: it'd be over ninety thousand. That's a thousand times more.

492
00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:29,480
Speaker 4: Back then I couldn't comprehend it. But now I've learned

493
00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:32,280
Speaker 4: to take the limits off of God. You may not

494
00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:35,600
Speaker 4: see away, but God has a way. The scripture talks

495
00:27:35,640 --> 00:27:38,160
Speaker 4: about how God will give you houses that you didn't

496
00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:41,440
Speaker 4: have to build. You'll reap from vineyards that you didn't plant.

497
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:46,439
Speaker 4: God knows how to line up your handfuls on purpose. Now,

498
00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:49,720
Speaker 4: don't go around praying to become a better slave. God

499
00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:52,800
Speaker 4: wants to bring you totally out. He's not thinking addition,

500
00:27:53,280 --> 00:27:54,560
Speaker 4: He's thinking multiplication.

501
00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:56,040
Speaker 2: And if you'll keep.

502
00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:59,800
Speaker 4: Honoring God, I believe and declare, You're going to come

503
00:27:59,840 --> 00:28:04,000
Speaker 4: in to explosive blessings. God is bringing you into a

504
00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:08,440
Speaker 4: wide land, a place of abundance, a thousand times more

505
00:28:08,480 --> 00:28:10,560
Speaker 4: than you are in Jesus's name.

506
00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:13,320
Speaker 2: If you receive it, can you say him in today?

507
00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:18,480
Speaker 4: We never like to close our broadcast without giving you

508
00:28:18,560 --> 00:28:21,520
Speaker 4: an opportunity to make Jesus the lord of your life.

509
00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:26,440
Speaker 4: Would you pray with me, Just say, Lord, Jesus, I

510
00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:27,679
Speaker 4: repent of my sins.

511
00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:29,840
Speaker 2: Come into my heart.

512
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:34,840
Speaker 4: I make you my Lord and savior. Friends, if you

513
00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:37,480
Speaker 4: prayed that simple prayer, we believe you got born again.

514
00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:41,240
Speaker 4: Get in a good Bible based church. Keep God first place.

515
00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:43,800
Speaker 4: He'll take your places that you've never dreamed of.

Speaker 4: next time.

526
00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:24,560
Speaker 3: With millions of books on Amazon, there's a reading feeling

527
00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:29,120
Speaker 3: for everyone. For example, Quand's as he drifts away to

528
00:29:29,240 --> 00:29:32,960
Speaker 3: Nirvana after only the first chapter is different to Maya's

529
00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:37,200
Speaker 3: when she discovered the narrator was in fact the Evil Twin,

530
00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:41,400
Speaker 3: which is also different to Noah's aw anytime the cute

531
00:29:41,400 --> 00:29:44,760
Speaker 3: cyberpunk is mentioned, even though in reality he'd be totally

532
00:29:44,840 --> 00:29:50,160
Speaker 3: out of his league from two two Amazon books that

533
00:29:50,360 --> 00:29:51,480
Speaker 3: reading feeling awaits.

534
00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:56,520
