1 00:00:01,850 --> 00:00:04,150 Speaker 1: I hope you and your family are having a great summer. 2 00:00:04,410 --> 00:00:06,780 Speaker 1: Victoria and I are praying for you, believing for God's 3 00:00:06,860 --> 00:00:09,710 Speaker 1: very best in your life. And it's always my pleasure 4 00:00:09,720 --> 00:00:11,610 Speaker 1: to be able to share a message with you. I 5 00:00:11,650 --> 00:00:13,490 Speaker 1: hope you're encouraged and inspired today. 6 00:00:16,110 --> 00:00:17,210 Speaker 2: Well, God bless you. 7 00:00:17,670 --> 00:00:20,250 Speaker 1: It's a joy to come into your homes and I 8 00:00:20,310 --> 00:00:23,110 Speaker 1: hope you'll stay connected with us throughout the week. We 9 00:00:23,150 --> 00:00:26,270 Speaker 1: have a daily podcast that you can download. You can 10 00:00:26,310 --> 00:00:29,230 Speaker 1: go to our YouTube channel and watch the messages anytime, 11 00:00:29,690 --> 00:00:31,910 Speaker 1: or you can follow us on social media, but we 12 00:00:31,930 --> 00:00:34,760 Speaker 1: want to keep you encouraged and inspired. But thanks so 13 00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:37,460 Speaker 1: much for tuning in. Thanks again for coming out. I 14 00:00:37,500 --> 00:00:39,640 Speaker 1: like to start with something funny and I heard about 15 00:00:39,659 --> 00:00:42,720 Speaker 1: this minister. He was driving down the road when he 16 00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:45,900 Speaker 1: got pulled over by a policeman. The officer came to 17 00:00:45,940 --> 00:00:49,839 Speaker 1: his window and smelled alcohol. He saw a thermos and said, sir, 18 00:00:49,900 --> 00:00:53,320 Speaker 1: what are you drinking? The minister said, just water, officer. 19 00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:56,540 Speaker 1: He asked to see the thermos. He took one sniff 20 00:00:56,840 --> 00:00:59,920 Speaker 1: and said, this smells like wine to me. The minister said, 21 00:00:59,960 --> 00:01:00,600 Speaker 1: what do you know? 22 00:01:00,900 --> 00:01:02,000 Speaker 2: Jesus did it again. 23 00:01:03,690 --> 00:01:06,479 Speaker 1: Say it like you mean it. This is my Bible. 24 00:01:07,020 --> 00:01:09,459 Speaker 1: I am what it says I am. I have what 25 00:01:09,500 --> 00:01:11,800 Speaker 1: it says I have. I can do what it says 26 00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:14,780 Speaker 1: I can do. Today, I will be taught the Word 27 00:01:14,819 --> 00:01:19,130 Speaker 1: of God. I boldly confess my mind is alert. My 28 00:01:19,190 --> 00:01:23,650 Speaker 1: heart is receptive. I will never be the same. In Jesus' name, 29 00:01:23,970 --> 00:01:27,640 Speaker 1: God bless you. I want to talk to you today 30 00:01:27,690 --> 00:01:29,679 Speaker 1: about keep speaking victory. 31 00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:33,419 Speaker 2: Our words are setting the direction for our lives. 32 00:01:33,980 --> 00:01:35,680 Speaker 1: If you want to know what you're going to be 33 00:01:35,740 --> 00:01:38,780 Speaker 1: like five years from now, listen to what you're saying 34 00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:42,500 Speaker 1: about yourself. Well, I'll never get well. I'll never break 35 00:01:42,540 --> 00:01:45,839 Speaker 1: this addiction. I'll never meet the right person. You are 36 00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:50,440 Speaker 1: prophesying your future. You can't speak defeat and have victory. 37 00:01:50,980 --> 00:01:54,370 Speaker 1: You can't talk sickness and have health. You can't speak 38 00:01:54,470 --> 00:01:58,690 Speaker 1: lack and struggle and have abundance. The scripture says you 39 00:01:58,730 --> 00:01:59,410 Speaker 1: will eat the. 40 00:01:59,430 --> 00:02:00,790 Speaker 2: Fruit of your words. 41 00:02:01,590 --> 00:02:05,710 Speaker 1: Pay attention to what you're saying about yourself, your family, 42 00:02:05,730 --> 00:02:09,410 Speaker 1: your finances, your health. You're going to become what you're 43 00:02:09,430 --> 00:02:13,120 Speaker 1: continually saying. That's why it's so important to get in 44 00:02:13,180 --> 00:02:15,900 Speaker 1: a habit of speaking victory over your life. 45 00:02:16,630 --> 00:02:19,960 Speaker 2: All through the day, I am blessed. I am strong. 46 00:02:20,419 --> 00:02:21,220 Speaker 2: I am healthy. 47 00:02:21,620 --> 00:02:24,860 Speaker 1: I'm surrounded by favor. Something good is going to happen 48 00:02:24,900 --> 00:02:29,760 Speaker 1: to me. The fruit of those words are blessing, favor, abundance. 49 00:02:30,460 --> 00:02:31,970 Speaker 2: It's not enough to just think it. 50 00:02:32,270 --> 00:02:35,169 Speaker 1: We give life to our faith by speaking it out. 51 00:02:36,090 --> 00:02:39,490 Speaker 1: When you're in tough times, you can complain, talk about 52 00:02:39,530 --> 00:02:43,639 Speaker 1: the problem. I can't believe this happened. Or you can say, Father, 53 00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:46,680 Speaker 1: thank you that you're fighting my battles. Thank you that 54 00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:49,540 Speaker 1: what was meant for harm, you're turning to my advantage. 55 00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:52,619 Speaker 1: Thank you that you always cause me to triumph, that 56 00:02:52,660 --> 00:02:55,060 Speaker 1: I'll come out of this better than I was before. 57 00:02:55,840 --> 00:03:00,790 Speaker 1: That's prophesying victory. That's prophesying a breakthrough. Don't use your 58 00:03:00,830 --> 00:03:04,690 Speaker 1: words to describe the situation. Use your words to change 59 00:03:04,750 --> 00:03:08,010 Speaker 1: the situation. Well, I'll never get out of this problem. 60 00:03:08,370 --> 00:03:13,429 Speaker 1: You're inviting defeat. I'm not that talented. You're inviting limitations. 61 00:03:14,090 --> 00:03:17,330 Speaker 1: I'll never accomplish my dreams. I don't have the connections. 62 00:03:17,710 --> 00:03:22,400 Speaker 1: You're inviting mediocrity. You need to send out some new invitations. 63 00:03:23,020 --> 00:03:26,300 Speaker 1: You may be struggling with depression. Your report should be, 64 00:03:26,620 --> 00:03:29,540 Speaker 1: this is only temporary. This is not who I am. 65 00:03:29,820 --> 00:03:32,910 Speaker 2: I am free. I am happy. I have a bright future. 66 00:03:33,870 --> 00:03:36,470 Speaker 1: The dream may look too big, but I know with 67 00:03:36,550 --> 00:03:38,090 Speaker 1: God all things are possible. 68 00:03:38,570 --> 00:03:41,410 Speaker 2: New doors are about to open. Good breaks are looking 69 00:03:41,430 --> 00:03:41,810 Speaker 2: for me. 70 00:03:42,170 --> 00:03:45,330 Speaker 1: Divine connections, the right people are headed my way. 71 00:03:46,410 --> 00:03:48,130 Speaker 2: Paul said in Ephesians, let. 72 00:03:48,110 --> 00:03:52,210 Speaker 1: Everything you say be good and helpful so that your 73 00:03:52,270 --> 00:03:55,250 Speaker 1: words will be an encouragement to those that hear them. 74 00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:58,320 Speaker 2: One person that hears your words is you. 75 00:03:59,130 --> 00:04:01,410 Speaker 1: They go out of your mouth and back into your 76 00:04:01,530 --> 00:04:04,820 Speaker 1: own ears. If you hear them long enough, they'll take 77 00:04:04,900 --> 00:04:08,320 Speaker 1: root in your spirit. You believe what you say about 78 00:04:08,380 --> 00:04:10,160 Speaker 1: yourself more than what. 79 00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:11,120 Speaker 2: Anyone else says. 80 00:04:11,140 --> 00:04:15,410 Speaker 1: And there's nothing more powerful than you speaking victory over 81 00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:18,529 Speaker 1: your own life. When my father went to be with 82 00:04:18,570 --> 00:04:21,170 Speaker 1: the Lord and I stepped up to pastor the church, 83 00:04:21,650 --> 00:04:23,950 Speaker 1: every thought told me that I couldn't minister. 84 00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:27,940 Speaker 2: Joel, you don't have the experience. You're not qualified. You're 85 00:04:27,990 --> 00:04:28,930 Speaker 2: not that talented. 86 00:04:29,810 --> 00:04:33,229 Speaker 1: One thing I've learned is to not verbalize the negative. 87 00:04:33,890 --> 00:04:35,929 Speaker 1: Don't give those thoughts life by. 88 00:04:35,870 --> 00:04:36,790 Speaker 2: Speaking them out. 89 00:04:36,810 --> 00:04:42,849 Speaker 1: And instead of talking about how I felt, insecure, unqualified, intimidated, 90 00:04:43,390 --> 00:04:46,150 Speaker 1: I said what God said about me. I can do 91 00:04:46,270 --> 00:04:49,520 Speaker 1: all things through Christ. I am strong in the Lord. 92 00:04:49,820 --> 00:04:54,660 Speaker 1: I'm equipped, empowered, anointed. The whole time I was saying that, 93 00:04:55,140 --> 00:04:56,240 Speaker 1: I didn't feel confident. 94 00:04:56,820 --> 00:05:00,160 Speaker 2: I didn't feel qualified. I felt just the opposite. 95 00:05:00,700 --> 00:05:04,060 Speaker 1: But as I kept speaking victory, as I kept calling 96 00:05:04,100 --> 00:05:07,210 Speaker 1: myself who God says I am, it took root on 97 00:05:07,250 --> 00:05:13,010 Speaker 1: the inside. Over time, I started to feel strong, confident, well-able. 98 00:05:13,310 --> 00:05:16,849 Speaker 1: I started to see favor, new doors opening, God taking 99 00:05:16,890 --> 00:05:18,440 Speaker 1: me where I've never imagined. 100 00:05:19,020 --> 00:05:19,580 Speaker 2: What happened? 101 00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:22,979 Speaker 1: I ate the fruit of my words. It may not 102 00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:27,040 Speaker 1: happen overnight, but you have to keep speaking victory. Keep 103 00:05:27,100 --> 00:05:31,109 Speaker 1: calling yourself healthy. Keep declaring your children are mighty in 104 00:05:31,150 --> 00:05:34,330 Speaker 1: the land. Keep declaring those dreams are coming to pass. 105 00:05:35,350 --> 00:05:39,410 Speaker 1: James chapter three, it compares the tongue to a rudder 106 00:05:39,570 --> 00:05:43,130 Speaker 1: of a ship. Verse four says, although a ship is 107 00:05:43,230 --> 00:05:47,160 Speaker 1: large and driven by strong winds, it is steered by 108 00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:50,340 Speaker 1: a small rudder wherever the pilot wants it to go. 109 00:05:51,190 --> 00:05:52,640 Speaker 2: It's the same way with the tongue. 110 00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:56,020 Speaker 1: Even though it's a small part of the body, it's 111 00:05:56,060 --> 00:06:00,920 Speaker 1: steering your life. What you're saying is determining which direction 112 00:06:00,980 --> 00:06:04,890 Speaker 1: you go. The good news is you have control over 113 00:06:04,930 --> 00:06:08,950 Speaker 1: the rudder. You control your tongue. Are you sending your 114 00:06:09,010 --> 00:06:11,830 Speaker 1: words out in the direction you want your life to go? 115 00:06:12,860 --> 00:06:14,240 Speaker 2: I don't think I'm going to get well. 116 00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:18,200 Speaker 1: The medical report doesn't look good. That's the wrong direction. 117 00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:21,580 Speaker 1: Why don't you say what God says about you? God 118 00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:24,800 Speaker 1: is restoring health back into me. By his stripes, I 119 00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:28,840 Speaker 1: am healed. I will live and not die. My child's 120 00:06:28,860 --> 00:06:31,400 Speaker 1: been off course so long. I don't think he'll ever 121 00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:36,770 Speaker 1: make good decisions. Change your rudder. You're headed the wrong way. Father, 122 00:06:36,810 --> 00:06:39,580 Speaker 1: thank you that my children are mighty in the land. 123 00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:42,859 Speaker 1: You said the seed of the righteous, my seed is blessed. 124 00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:46,760 Speaker 1: As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord. Well, 125 00:06:46,779 --> 00:06:49,360 Speaker 1: I don't see how I can get ahead, Joel. Nobody 126 00:06:49,420 --> 00:06:52,480 Speaker 1: in my family has been successful. This pandemic is going 127 00:06:52,500 --> 00:06:56,140 Speaker 1: to put my business under. When you talk defeat, you're 128 00:06:56,180 --> 00:07:01,110 Speaker 1: headed toward defeat. When you talk failure, lack, mediocrity, you're 129 00:07:01,150 --> 00:07:04,390 Speaker 1: headed that way. Well, I'm praying that God will help me. 130 00:07:04,830 --> 00:07:08,620 Speaker 1: He will help you, but you control the rudder. You're 131 00:07:08,650 --> 00:07:12,140 Speaker 1: setting the direction with your words. Are you in agreement 132 00:07:12,180 --> 00:07:14,500 Speaker 1: with God? He said you're blessed. 133 00:07:15,020 --> 00:07:16,320 Speaker 2: Are you saying something else? 134 00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:21,680 Speaker 1: He said you're fearfully and wonderfully made, a masterpiece crowned 135 00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:26,780 Speaker 1: with favor. Are you calling yourself inferior, weak, not attractive? 136 00:07:27,420 --> 00:07:32,320 Speaker 1: Start declaring what he promised. Father, you said even in famine, 137 00:07:32,660 --> 00:07:35,520 Speaker 1: the righteous will have more than enough. You said what 138 00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:39,100 Speaker 1: I put my hands to would prosper and succeed. When 139 00:07:39,140 --> 00:07:41,750 Speaker 1: someone asks you how you're doing, don't go through all 140 00:07:41,790 --> 00:07:43,730 Speaker 1: your troubles, how bad it is. 141 00:07:44,090 --> 00:07:47,270 Speaker 2: Keep your ship going in the right direction. I'm blessed, 142 00:07:47,450 --> 00:07:51,530 Speaker 2: I'm strong, I'm valuable, I'm favored. Think about a ship. 143 00:07:52,070 --> 00:07:57,440 Speaker 1: It can be carrying very valuable cargo, oil, minerals, equipment. 144 00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:01,420 Speaker 1: But all that valuable cargo is at the mercy of 145 00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:05,080 Speaker 1: the small rudder of the ship. If the captain didn't 146 00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:08,080 Speaker 1: steer the ship the proper way, if the rudder wasn't 147 00:08:08,170 --> 00:08:11,010 Speaker 1: in the right position, the ship would never make it 148 00:08:11,210 --> 00:08:12,810 Speaker 1: to the intended destination. 149 00:08:13,330 --> 00:08:15,250 Speaker 2: All that cargo would go to waste. 150 00:08:16,030 --> 00:08:20,450 Speaker 1: In the same way, you are carrying valuable cargo. When 151 00:08:20,510 --> 00:08:25,190 Speaker 1: God breathed his life into you, he put gifts, talents, potential. 152 00:08:25,450 --> 00:08:28,610 Speaker 1: You have seeds of greatness. You are destined to leave 153 00:08:28,630 --> 00:08:30,170 Speaker 1: your mark, to take. 154 00:08:29,970 --> 00:08:33,390 Speaker 2: Your family to a new level. The question is not, 155 00:08:33,550 --> 00:08:35,630 Speaker 2: are you equipped? Are you favored? 156 00:08:35,850 --> 00:08:39,050 Speaker 1: Do you have what it takes? Your ship is fully loaded. 157 00:08:39,570 --> 00:08:42,720 Speaker 1: The question is, are you going to keep your rudder 158 00:08:42,980 --> 00:08:47,620 Speaker 1: going in the right direction? Are you going to speak victory, abundance, 159 00:08:47,940 --> 00:08:51,280 Speaker 1: new levels? Or are you going to talk like your average? 160 00:08:51,940 --> 00:08:54,640 Speaker 1: I can't get ahead. I never get any good breaks. 161 00:08:55,220 --> 00:08:58,239 Speaker 1: This addiction has been in my family for years. You're 162 00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:01,990 Speaker 1: not being limited by your circumstances. You're being limited by 163 00:09:02,030 --> 00:09:05,610 Speaker 1: your words. Your rudder is going in the wrong direction. 164 00:09:06,370 --> 00:09:10,309 Speaker 1: What you speak, you're moving toward. When you speak victory, 165 00:09:10,470 --> 00:09:14,020 Speaker 1: you're moving toward victory. When you speak health, you're moving 166 00:09:14,059 --> 00:09:18,020 Speaker 1: toward health. When you speak overflow more than enough, you're 167 00:09:18,059 --> 00:09:19,540 Speaker 1: moving toward abundance. 168 00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:20,939 Speaker 2: And here's the key. 169 00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:25,059 Speaker 1: You have to speak it before you see it. This 170 00:09:25,140 --> 00:09:28,179 Speaker 1: is what faith is all about. The scripture says, let 171 00:09:28,230 --> 00:09:32,130 Speaker 1: the weak say, I am strong. You may not feel strong, 172 00:09:32,490 --> 00:09:35,809 Speaker 1: but when you say I am strong, you're moving toward strength. 173 00:09:36,670 --> 00:09:39,270 Speaker 1: You may be fighting an illness, but when you say 174 00:09:39,410 --> 00:09:43,709 Speaker 1: I'm healthy, you're moving toward health. Perhaps you feel stuck 175 00:09:43,750 --> 00:09:44,510 Speaker 1: in your career. 176 00:09:45,050 --> 00:09:46,550 Speaker 2: Seems like you've reached your limits. 177 00:09:47,010 --> 00:09:49,710 Speaker 1: But when you say new doors are about to open, 178 00:09:50,190 --> 00:09:52,900 Speaker 1: something good is going to happen to me. God has 179 00:09:52,940 --> 00:09:57,920 Speaker 1: taken me from glory to glory. You're moving toward new levels, favor, 180 00:09:58,140 --> 00:10:01,429 Speaker 1: something that you've never seen. Are you steering your ship 181 00:10:01,890 --> 00:10:04,980 Speaker 1: in the direction you want your life to go? Is 182 00:10:05,020 --> 00:10:09,520 Speaker 1: your rudder, your tongue taking you to blessing, increase, abundance? 183 00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:13,559 Speaker 1: Or are you talking about what's not working out? how 184 00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:16,600 Speaker 1: you don't feel that talented, the obstacles are too big, 185 00:10:16,940 --> 00:10:28,450 Speaker 1: that's going to keep you from your destiny. In the scripture, 186 00:10:28,929 --> 00:10:31,670 Speaker 1: God told Jeremiah that he was going to become a 187 00:10:31,770 --> 00:10:36,120 Speaker 1: great prophet and speak to nations. But Jeremiah was young 188 00:10:36,260 --> 00:10:39,240 Speaker 1: and afraid. The first thing he said was, God, I 189 00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:42,320 Speaker 1: can't speak to nations. I'm too young. I wouldn't know 190 00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:46,439 Speaker 1: what to say. God could have said, Jeremiah, I understand. 191 00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:50,449 Speaker 1: This seems over your head. Don't worry, I'm gonna help you. No, 192 00:10:50,490 --> 00:10:54,870 Speaker 1: God said, Jeremiah, say not that you're too young. God 193 00:10:54,929 --> 00:10:58,390 Speaker 1: told him to zip it up. He knew if Jeremiah 194 00:10:58,470 --> 00:11:01,980 Speaker 1: kept speaking those negative words, telling himself that he was 195 00:11:02,050 --> 00:11:05,920 Speaker 1: too young, not qualified, didn't have what it takes, that 196 00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:08,960 Speaker 1: he would never become who he was created to be. 197 00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:13,790 Speaker 1: Your tongue is the rudder for your life. It's determining 198 00:11:13,830 --> 00:11:17,790 Speaker 1: the direction. Next time you're tempted to say something negative 199 00:11:18,090 --> 00:11:23,000 Speaker 1: about yourself, your future, your children, your finances, zip it up. 200 00:11:23,700 --> 00:11:28,120 Speaker 1: Don't steer yourself toward defeat. Say not you're too young. 201 00:11:28,940 --> 00:11:32,120 Speaker 1: Say not you can't get well. Say not you'll never 202 00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:35,910 Speaker 1: meet the right person. Say not you can't accomplish your dreams. 203 00:11:36,290 --> 00:11:38,449 Speaker 1: God wouldn't have given them to you if. 204 00:11:38,410 --> 00:11:39,430 Speaker 2: You weren't well able. 205 00:11:40,270 --> 00:11:44,140 Speaker 1: Verse nine says, God reached out his hands and touched 206 00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:46,140 Speaker 1: Jeremiah's lips and. 207 00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:48,939 Speaker 2: Said, I have put my words in your mouth. 208 00:11:49,780 --> 00:11:52,809 Speaker 1: God was saying in effect, Jeremiah, say what I say 209 00:11:52,870 --> 00:11:56,449 Speaker 1: about you. Don't say how you feel. Don't say what 210 00:11:56,490 --> 00:11:59,670 Speaker 1: the experts say. Don't say what it looks like. Start 211 00:11:59,730 --> 00:12:03,480 Speaker 1: saying what God says about you. God said in Psalms, 212 00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:07,800 Speaker 1: he will crown the year with a bountiful harvest. Even 213 00:12:07,860 --> 00:12:12,240 Speaker 1: the hard places will overflow with abundance. You can go 214 00:12:12,300 --> 00:12:15,150 Speaker 1: around saying, this is such a tough year. I can't 215 00:12:15,210 --> 00:12:18,010 Speaker 1: wait till it's over. Or you can say, father, thank 216 00:12:18,050 --> 00:12:20,770 Speaker 1: you that even in hard times, I will have more 217 00:12:20,809 --> 00:12:24,420 Speaker 1: than enough. Thank you that you're an overflow God, that 218 00:12:24,460 --> 00:12:27,890 Speaker 1: you're not limited by my circumstances. You're not limited by 219 00:12:27,929 --> 00:12:30,990 Speaker 1: the economy. Lord, I thank you that I'm blessed in 220 00:12:31,030 --> 00:12:34,670 Speaker 1: a down year. I'm favored in a famine. I'm prosperous 221 00:12:34,890 --> 00:12:35,730 Speaker 1: in a pandemic. 222 00:12:36,070 --> 00:12:36,870 Speaker 2: I overflow. 223 00:12:36,970 --> 00:12:39,710 Speaker 1: I have more than enough joy, more than enough strength, 224 00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:43,880 Speaker 1: more than enough health. That's steering your ship toward increase, 225 00:12:44,420 --> 00:12:46,280 Speaker 1: steering your ship toward overflow. 226 00:12:47,290 --> 00:12:48,430 Speaker 2: I talked to a young lady. 227 00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:51,760 Speaker 1: She was very successful in her career, but when the 228 00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:55,070 Speaker 1: pandemic hit, things started to slow down and she was 229 00:12:55,110 --> 00:12:58,219 Speaker 1: concerned about how it was going to work out. She 230 00:12:58,260 --> 00:13:00,560 Speaker 1: heard me talking about how this was going to be 231 00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:04,360 Speaker 1: an overflow year, how the economy is not our source, 232 00:13:04,540 --> 00:13:08,540 Speaker 1: but God is our source. Something came alive on the inside. 233 00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:12,189 Speaker 1: She started saying that all through the day, repeating it 234 00:13:12,309 --> 00:13:13,230 Speaker 1: under her breath. 235 00:13:13,090 --> 00:13:14,050 Speaker 2: Again and again. 236 00:13:14,490 --> 00:13:17,470 Speaker 1: Lord, thank you that the economy is not my source, 237 00:13:17,670 --> 00:13:18,730 Speaker 1: but you are my source. 238 00:13:19,030 --> 00:13:23,040 Speaker 2: Thank you for an overflow year. It looked just the opposite. 239 00:13:23,580 --> 00:13:28,189 Speaker 1: Things were going down, decreasing, yet she was declaring increase, 240 00:13:28,610 --> 00:13:32,090 Speaker 1: declaring favor, talking about the greatness of our God. 241 00:13:32,530 --> 00:13:35,929 Speaker 2: What was she doing? Steering her ship in the right direction. 242 00:13:36,980 --> 00:13:41,400 Speaker 1: In difficult times, it's easy to talk about the problem, complain, 243 00:13:41,660 --> 00:13:42,330 Speaker 1: be negative. 244 00:13:42,660 --> 00:13:44,570 Speaker 2: That's when you have to dig down deep. 245 00:13:44,590 --> 00:13:47,050 Speaker 1: And say, no, I'm going to keep speaking victory. 246 00:13:47,390 --> 00:13:51,329 Speaker 2: God, you're my provider. You're my healer. You're my way maker. 247 00:13:51,710 --> 00:13:53,770 Speaker 1: I may not see how it can happen, but I 248 00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:55,620 Speaker 1: know you're still in control. 249 00:13:56,580 --> 00:13:57,080 Speaker 2: She and her. 250 00:13:57,040 --> 00:14:01,620 Speaker 1: Husband decided to start their own business against all odds. 251 00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:05,530 Speaker 2: It took off. more than they ever imagined. They just 252 00:14:05,590 --> 00:14:09,729 Speaker 2: closed on their first house. Their business continues to increase. 253 00:14:10,170 --> 00:14:12,949 Speaker 1: She said in the midst of all this uncertainty, with 254 00:14:12,990 --> 00:14:17,530 Speaker 1: people afraid, struggling, we've seen favor in ways we've never dreamed. 255 00:14:18,210 --> 00:14:19,370 Speaker 2: That's what the scripture says. 256 00:14:19,890 --> 00:14:23,620 Speaker 1: Even in hard times, the righteous will have more than enough. 257 00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:26,980 Speaker 1: But I don't think this would have happened if she 258 00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:31,340 Speaker 1: would have gone around negative, complaining. Pay attention to which 259 00:14:31,420 --> 00:14:35,470 Speaker 1: way you're steering your ship What you're constantly talking about, 260 00:14:35,750 --> 00:14:39,470 Speaker 1: you're drawing in. When you're always bragging on the greatness 261 00:14:39,510 --> 00:14:42,750 Speaker 1: of our God, talking about what he can do, declaring 262 00:14:42,790 --> 00:14:44,590 Speaker 1: what he promised, you're going. 263 00:14:44,470 --> 00:14:47,480 Speaker 2: To draw in blessings, favor, increase. 264 00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:52,680 Speaker 1: Psalm 35 says, let them continually say, let the Lord 265 00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:57,520 Speaker 1: be magnified who takes pleasure in the prosperity of his children. 266 00:14:58,300 --> 00:15:01,710 Speaker 1: It's interesting that they were supposed to continually say this. 267 00:15:02,420 --> 00:15:04,890 Speaker 1: You would think they could say it once, twice, that 268 00:15:04,930 --> 00:15:08,450 Speaker 1: would be enough. But there's something powerful when you go 269 00:15:08,510 --> 00:15:12,050 Speaker 1: through the day, not talking about how big the problem is, 270 00:15:12,570 --> 00:15:15,350 Speaker 1: how your back will probably never stop hurting, how you 271 00:15:15,390 --> 00:15:18,270 Speaker 1: don't see how that child's going to turn around. Instead, 272 00:15:18,630 --> 00:15:22,720 Speaker 1: you're saying, let God be magnified who takes pleasure in 273 00:15:22,780 --> 00:15:26,560 Speaker 1: prospering me, who takes pleasure in healing me, who takes 274 00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:28,120 Speaker 1: pleasure in favoring me. 275 00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:30,840 Speaker 2: Are you taking time to. 276 00:15:30,780 --> 00:15:34,810 Speaker 1: Declare God's goodness over your life? Are you speaking victory 277 00:15:35,170 --> 00:15:38,090 Speaker 1: over your future? It's not enough to do it every 278 00:15:38,250 --> 00:15:41,120 Speaker 1: once in a while. It needs to become a habit 279 00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:44,820 Speaker 1: where all through the day we're declaring that we're blessed, 280 00:15:45,140 --> 00:15:48,980 Speaker 1: we're strong, we're healthy. When you wake up in the morning, Lord, 281 00:15:49,020 --> 00:15:51,980 Speaker 1: thank you for another beautiful day. And Lord, thank you 282 00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:54,740 Speaker 1: that something good is going to happen to me today. 283 00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:58,670 Speaker 1: Thank you that your favor is surrounding me. Blessings are 284 00:15:58,710 --> 00:16:02,430 Speaker 1: chasing me down. Angels are watching over me. That you 285 00:16:02,470 --> 00:16:05,290 Speaker 1: being for me is more than the world being against me. 286 00:16:06,150 --> 00:16:08,770 Speaker 2: That's setting your rudder in the right direction. 287 00:16:09,620 --> 00:16:13,740 Speaker 1: You can't be silent and reach your potential. Nothing happens 288 00:16:13,900 --> 00:16:14,780 Speaker 1: until you speak. 289 00:16:15,300 --> 00:16:17,480 Speaker 2: Your words give life to your faith. 290 00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:20,790 Speaker 1: Joshua said it this way, this book of the law, 291 00:16:21,130 --> 00:16:25,330 Speaker 1: these promises shall not depart out of your mouth. You 292 00:16:25,370 --> 00:16:27,730 Speaker 1: shall meditate on them day and night. 293 00:16:28,230 --> 00:16:29,050 Speaker 2: Then you will. 294 00:16:28,930 --> 00:16:33,240 Speaker 1: Prosper and have good success. It doesn't say they shouldn't 295 00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:36,400 Speaker 1: depart out of your mind. If you think positive, you'll 296 00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:39,780 Speaker 1: be fine. Not depart out of your eyes. If you 297 00:16:39,820 --> 00:16:43,650 Speaker 1: read it enough, it says they should not depart out 298 00:16:43,670 --> 00:16:47,210 Speaker 1: of your mouth. If you'll keep speaking what God says 299 00:16:47,290 --> 00:16:52,010 Speaker 1: about you, then you will have good success. Mark chapter five, 300 00:16:52,350 --> 00:16:54,620 Speaker 1: there was a lady that had been sick for 12 301 00:16:54,620 --> 00:16:57,580 Speaker 1: years and she'd spent all of her money going to 302 00:16:57,620 --> 00:17:01,470 Speaker 1: different doctors, but still nothing had helped. One day she 303 00:17:01,540 --> 00:17:05,169 Speaker 1: heard that Jesus was coming through town. The scripture says 304 00:17:05,650 --> 00:17:09,429 Speaker 1: she kept saying to herself, when I get to Jesus, 305 00:17:09,869 --> 00:17:13,070 Speaker 1: I will be made whole. In the midst of the sickness, 306 00:17:13,410 --> 00:17:17,120 Speaker 1: she was prophesying health. All through the day, not just 307 00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:20,780 Speaker 1: one time, but she kept saying over and over, healing 308 00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:25,570 Speaker 1: is coming. Restoration is coming. A breakthrough is coming. She 309 00:17:25,630 --> 00:17:29,409 Speaker 1: saw Jesus, but it was very crowded. People were packed 310 00:17:29,470 --> 00:17:34,280 Speaker 1: in all around him. She could have been discouraged, complained. Instead, 311 00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:37,980 Speaker 1: she kept saying, this is my time. Things are about 312 00:17:38,020 --> 00:17:41,560 Speaker 1: to change in my favor. As she kept speaking it, 313 00:17:41,820 --> 00:17:45,320 Speaker 1: she got closer and closer. She finally reached out and 314 00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:46,439 Speaker 1: touched Jesus' robe. 315 00:17:46,740 --> 00:17:49,810 Speaker 2: Instantly, she was healed. But notice the principle. 316 00:17:50,330 --> 00:17:55,390 Speaker 1: Whatever you're constantly saying, you're moving toward. If you're always saying, 317 00:17:55,670 --> 00:17:59,590 Speaker 1: I'll never get out of debt, you're moving toward struggle, lack. 318 00:18:00,270 --> 00:18:02,750 Speaker 1: If you're saying, my marriage is not going to last, 319 00:18:03,150 --> 00:18:04,909 Speaker 1: we don't get along, you're. 320 00:18:04,770 --> 00:18:07,330 Speaker 2: Moving toward separation, a breakup. 321 00:18:08,150 --> 00:18:11,290 Speaker 1: If you're saying, I'll never get well, this sickness will 322 00:18:11,310 --> 00:18:14,890 Speaker 1: be the end of me, you're moving toward defeat and mediocrity. 323 00:18:15,670 --> 00:18:16,610 Speaker 2: But if you'll send. 324 00:18:16,450 --> 00:18:19,910 Speaker 1: Your words out in a different direction, your life will 325 00:18:19,950 --> 00:18:23,970 Speaker 1: go in a different direction. When you say I am blessed, 326 00:18:24,430 --> 00:18:27,550 Speaker 1: you're moving toward blessing. When you say I have the 327 00:18:27,630 --> 00:18:31,600 Speaker 1: favor of God, you're moving toward increase. When you say 328 00:18:31,730 --> 00:18:34,960 Speaker 1: I'm excited about my future, something good is going to 329 00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:39,619 Speaker 1: happen to me, you're moving toward new opportunities, divine connections. 330 00:18:40,500 --> 00:18:43,100 Speaker 1: Or when you say I'm going to break this addiction, 331 00:18:43,740 --> 00:18:46,280 Speaker 1: I am not going to live bound by this alcohol, 332 00:18:46,619 --> 00:18:49,960 Speaker 1: by this anger, by this bad habit. When you say that, 333 00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:55,520 Speaker 1: you're moving toward freedom. breakthroughs victory pay attention to what 334 00:18:55,560 --> 00:19:00,030 Speaker 1: you're saying your life is going in that direction God 335 00:19:00,070 --> 00:19:03,709 Speaker 1: gave Abraham the promise that his wife Sarah would have 336 00:19:03,750 --> 00:19:06,930 Speaker 1: a child the problem was they were both way too 337 00:19:07,109 --> 00:19:11,970 Speaker 1: old Abraham was 80 and Sarah was barren never able 338 00:19:12,010 --> 00:19:14,730 Speaker 1: to have children she had already gone through the change 339 00:19:14,770 --> 00:19:18,770 Speaker 1: of life and sometimes God will give you a promise 340 00:19:18,850 --> 00:19:23,080 Speaker 1: that seems impossible and You're too young, too old. You 341 00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:26,859 Speaker 1: don't have the connections. The medical report's not good. You 342 00:19:26,900 --> 00:19:29,110 Speaker 1: don't have to figure out how it's going to happen. 343 00:19:29,380 --> 00:19:32,750 Speaker 1: Just get in agreement with God. Father, you said that 344 00:19:32,810 --> 00:19:35,170 Speaker 1: I'm going to have a baby. So Lord, thank you 345 00:19:35,390 --> 00:19:36,610 Speaker 1: that my baby is. 346 00:19:36,670 --> 00:19:37,190 Speaker 2: On the way. 347 00:19:38,190 --> 00:19:40,969 Speaker 1: The mistake we make too often is we send our 348 00:19:41,050 --> 00:19:42,929 Speaker 1: words out in the wrong direction. 349 00:19:43,609 --> 00:19:46,270 Speaker 2: I can't have a baby. I can't get well. 350 00:19:46,670 --> 00:19:51,120 Speaker 1: I'll never start my business. Negative words can stop what 351 00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:54,719 Speaker 1: God has for you. God told the Israelites that they 352 00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:57,900 Speaker 1: would live in the promised land, the land flowing with 353 00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:01,880 Speaker 1: milk and honey, but negative words kept them from going in. 354 00:20:02,580 --> 00:20:05,680 Speaker 1: The 10 spies said, the people are too big. There 355 00:20:05,740 --> 00:20:09,790 Speaker 1: are giants in the land. The opposition didn't defeat them. 356 00:20:10,109 --> 00:20:11,910 Speaker 1: Their negative words defeated them. 357 00:20:12,570 --> 00:20:15,229 Speaker 2: They said, we're not able. We don't have what it takes. 358 00:20:15,730 --> 00:20:19,870 Speaker 1: They became what they said. They prophesied their future. They 359 00:20:19,950 --> 00:20:23,650 Speaker 1: turned around and wandered in the desert for 40 years. 360 00:20:24,460 --> 00:20:27,379 Speaker 1: When God puts something in your heart, don't start talking 361 00:20:27,420 --> 00:20:30,240 Speaker 1: about how it's not going to happen, what you don't have, 362 00:20:30,460 --> 00:20:34,440 Speaker 1: how big the opposition is. Abraham had this promise that 363 00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:37,480 Speaker 1: seemed impossible. God did something interesting. 364 00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:38,740 Speaker 2: He changed his. 365 00:20:38,700 --> 00:20:44,609 Speaker 1: Name from Abram to Abraham. Abraham means the father of 366 00:20:44,690 --> 00:20:48,330 Speaker 1: many nations. He didn't feel like a father, but every 367 00:20:48,350 --> 00:20:52,550 Speaker 1: time someone said, hello, Abraham, they were saying, hello, father. 368 00:20:52,230 --> 00:20:54,949 Speaker 2: Of many nations. He could have thought they have the 369 00:20:54,990 --> 00:20:57,080 Speaker 2: wrong person. I don't have any children. 370 00:20:57,760 --> 00:21:00,240 Speaker 1: When he met someone new, he would say, hello, I 371 00:21:00,300 --> 00:21:04,419 Speaker 1: am Abraham. He was saying, I'm the father of many nations. 372 00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:08,869 Speaker 1: He said that over and over, month after month, it 373 00:21:08,890 --> 00:21:11,679 Speaker 1: began to get down in his spirit. He had to 374 00:21:11,770 --> 00:21:14,990 Speaker 1: see himself a new way before the promise could come 375 00:21:15,030 --> 00:21:18,770 Speaker 1: to pass. The way God changed his self-image was through 376 00:21:18,810 --> 00:21:22,649 Speaker 1: his words. That's why it's so important all through the day, 377 00:21:23,369 --> 00:21:26,530 Speaker 1: under your breath, you need to be saying, I'm blessed, 378 00:21:27,020 --> 00:21:32,160 Speaker 1: I'm healthy, I'm strong, I'm successful, I'm talented, I'm attractive. 379 00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:37,090 Speaker 1: That's helping to determine how you see yourself. God changed 380 00:21:37,170 --> 00:21:40,150 Speaker 1: Sarai's name from Sarai to Sarah. 381 00:21:40,670 --> 00:21:44,429 Speaker 2: Sarah means princess. She didn't feel like a princess. She 382 00:21:44,490 --> 00:21:45,190 Speaker 2: was barren. 383 00:21:45,990 --> 00:21:48,710 Speaker 1: Women in that day that didn't have children were looked 384 00:21:48,730 --> 00:21:53,080 Speaker 1: down on. She could have felt inferior, ashamed. But when 385 00:21:53,130 --> 00:21:56,660 Speaker 1: someone said, hello, Sarah, they were saying, hello, princess. 386 00:21:57,340 --> 00:22:01,260 Speaker 2: Good morning, Sarah. Good morning, princess. When she told people 387 00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:05,500 Speaker 2: her name, she was saying, in effect, I'm chosen. I'm favored. 388 00:22:05,740 --> 00:22:09,609 Speaker 2: I'm blessed. She said all this while she was still barren. 389 00:22:10,450 --> 00:22:14,260 Speaker 1: Your tongue is the rudder. It's deciding which direction your 390 00:22:14,300 --> 00:22:17,899 Speaker 1: life is going to go. Every time Abraham and Sarah 391 00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:21,620 Speaker 1: said their names, their rudder was pointed toward the promise. 392 00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:25,469 Speaker 1: They kept declaring it year after year. When Sarah was 393 00:22:25,470 --> 00:22:29,110 Speaker 1: 90 years old, she gave birth to a son. God 394 00:22:29,170 --> 00:22:33,160 Speaker 1: did the impossible. What are you saying about your dreams, 395 00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:35,100 Speaker 1: your finances, your children? 396 00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:36,100 Speaker 2: I'm too old. 397 00:22:36,740 --> 00:22:39,530 Speaker 1: I've made too many mistakes. I don't have the talent. 398 00:22:40,030 --> 00:22:43,369 Speaker 1: That's going to keep you from giving birth. You can't 399 00:22:43,470 --> 00:22:47,250 Speaker 1: speak defeat and reach your potential. Why don't you start 400 00:22:47,310 --> 00:22:48,940 Speaker 1: saying what God says about you? 401 00:22:49,540 --> 00:22:53,320 Speaker 2: He calls you what you are before it happens. I 402 00:22:53,340 --> 00:22:56,500 Speaker 2: don't feel blessed, healthy, favored. That's okay. 403 00:22:56,800 --> 00:22:59,540 Speaker 1: Just get in agreement with God and he'll make things 404 00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:03,119 Speaker 1: happen that you couldn't make happen. I talked to a 405 00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:06,090 Speaker 1: young man that came from a small town in Mississippi. 406 00:23:06,510 --> 00:23:09,970 Speaker 1: He got a scholarship to play soccer at a major university, 407 00:23:10,390 --> 00:23:12,010 Speaker 1: but his dream was to play football. 408 00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:15,179 Speaker 2: His junior year, he talked to the coaches about it. 409 00:23:15,619 --> 00:23:18,300 Speaker 1: They allowed him to switch from soccer and he joined 410 00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:19,139 Speaker 1: the football team. 411 00:23:19,540 --> 00:23:20,380 Speaker 2: He was the kicker. 412 00:23:20,900 --> 00:23:23,199 Speaker 1: He was thrilled to be on the team, but the 413 00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:26,760 Speaker 1: coaches never gave him a chance. For two years, he 414 00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:30,480 Speaker 1: sat the bench, never kicked a single field goal. At 415 00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:33,420 Speaker 1: the end of his last college season, there was a 416 00:23:33,500 --> 00:23:37,879 Speaker 1: scout day where coaches came from professional teams and they 417 00:23:37,930 --> 00:23:40,070 Speaker 1: would look at the different players and ask them to 418 00:23:40,109 --> 00:23:43,470 Speaker 1: work out so they could evaluate them He was hoping 419 00:23:43,510 --> 00:23:45,990 Speaker 1: he would get some good leads, but no one was 420 00:23:46,090 --> 00:23:49,050 Speaker 1: interested in him. It looked like his days of playing 421 00:23:49,090 --> 00:23:53,090 Speaker 1: football were over. Driving home from college, he turned the 422 00:23:53,130 --> 00:23:57,100 Speaker 1: radio on and came across our Sirius XM channel. He 423 00:23:57,140 --> 00:24:00,639 Speaker 1: heard me talking about how a shift is coming, how 424 00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:03,419 Speaker 1: you're just one phone call away from your destiny and 425 00:24:03,660 --> 00:24:06,800 Speaker 1: how one touch of God's favor can catapult you to 426 00:24:06,820 --> 00:24:07,540 Speaker 1: the next level. 427 00:24:08,210 --> 00:24:12,010 Speaker 2: When he heard that, something ignited in his spirit. He 428 00:24:12,070 --> 00:24:12,970 Speaker 2: knew it was for him. 429 00:24:13,570 --> 00:24:16,439 Speaker 1: He got his cell phone out and made a three-minute 430 00:24:16,500 --> 00:24:20,200 Speaker 1: video telling people that he was going to play that 431 00:24:20,300 --> 00:24:22,060 Speaker 1: year in the NFL. 432 00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:25,060 Speaker 2: Most people thought that he had lost his mind. 433 00:24:25,500 --> 00:24:28,919 Speaker 1: He had never kicked one field goal, had no track record, 434 00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:31,850 Speaker 1: and you're going to play professional football? That doesn't make sense. 435 00:24:32,490 --> 00:24:34,910 Speaker 1: He let that go in one ear and out the other. 436 00:24:35,230 --> 00:24:39,310 Speaker 1: He started speaking victories. Father, thank you that opportunity is 437 00:24:39,350 --> 00:24:42,209 Speaker 1: coming my way. Thank you that favor is causing me 438 00:24:42,270 --> 00:24:45,290 Speaker 1: to stand out. He was setting his rudder in the 439 00:24:45,350 --> 00:24:50,240 Speaker 1: right direction, prophesying his future. Four hours after he made 440 00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:53,719 Speaker 1: the video, he received a phone call from the kicking 441 00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:57,919 Speaker 1: coach of the Cincinnati Bengals football team, inviting him to 442 00:24:57,980 --> 00:24:59,280 Speaker 1: come try out for the team. 443 00:24:59,820 --> 00:25:00,639 Speaker 2: He couldn't believe it. 444 00:25:01,140 --> 00:25:03,730 Speaker 1: He had never spoken to the coach, never met him. 445 00:25:04,210 --> 00:25:07,230 Speaker 1: He went to the camp, tried out against all odds. 446 00:25:07,470 --> 00:25:08,470 Speaker 2: He made the team. 447 00:25:08,850 --> 00:25:13,379 Speaker 1: He became the only African-American football kicker in the NFL 448 00:25:13,500 --> 00:25:17,040 Speaker 1: at that time. When you speak victory over your life, 449 00:25:17,420 --> 00:25:20,820 Speaker 1: God will open doors that no person can shut. He'll 450 00:25:20,859 --> 00:25:22,780 Speaker 1: take you where you can't go. 451 00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:23,290 Speaker 2: On your own. 452 00:25:23,930 --> 00:25:26,880 Speaker 1: The dreams he's put in your heart, The promises you're 453 00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:31,320 Speaker 1: standing on, it's not enough to just believe them. That's important, 454 00:25:31,619 --> 00:25:35,390 Speaker 1: but something happens when you speak. Angels go to work. 455 00:25:35,970 --> 00:25:39,670 Speaker 1: Forces of darkness are broken. Good breaks come looking for you. 456 00:25:40,650 --> 00:25:44,740 Speaker 1: What you're up against may seem permanent. Just keep speaking victory. 457 00:25:45,420 --> 00:25:48,420 Speaker 1: When the medical report is not good, keep speaking health. 458 00:25:49,150 --> 00:25:53,300 Speaker 1: When business is slow, keep speaking abundance. When the addiction 459 00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:56,480 Speaker 1: seems like it will never change, keep speaking freedom. 460 00:25:57,060 --> 00:26:00,700 Speaker 2: When your family member is off course, keep speaking breakthroughs. 461 00:26:01,369 --> 00:26:05,260 Speaker 1: If you'll keep declaring what God promised. Not Joel, I 462 00:26:05,300 --> 00:26:08,119 Speaker 1: tried this for three days, it didn't work. I'm talking 463 00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:12,359 Speaker 1: about a lifestyle where you've developed a habit of speaking help, 464 00:26:12,820 --> 00:26:17,320 Speaker 1: speaking favor, speaking abundance. When you continually do this, God 465 00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:19,540 Speaker 1: said you will have good success. 466 00:26:20,500 --> 00:26:23,280 Speaker 2: Friends, you're going to eat the fruit of your words. 467 00:26:23,859 --> 00:26:25,280 Speaker 2: Make sure you're. 468 00:26:25,140 --> 00:26:28,120 Speaker 1: Sending out words that you want to eat. If it's 469 00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:33,210 Speaker 1: not positive, hopeful, faith-filled, zip it up. Say not that 470 00:26:33,260 --> 00:26:36,520 Speaker 1: you can't get well. Our god is a healer Say 471 00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:38,459 Speaker 1: not that you can't accomplish your dreams. 472 00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:39,840 Speaker 2: Our god is a way. 473 00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:43,100 Speaker 1: Maker Say not that you'll never have enough. Our god 474 00:26:43,180 --> 00:26:46,920 Speaker 1: is a provider now get in agreement with him Start 475 00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:50,680 Speaker 1: sending your words out in the right direction If you'll 476 00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:55,480 Speaker 1: keep speaking victory, I believe and declare like this football 477 00:26:55,520 --> 00:27:00,100 Speaker 1: player good breaks are coming Like that woman, healing is coming. 478 00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:04,680 Speaker 1: Like Abraham, promises that seem impossible are about to come 479 00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:08,440 Speaker 1: to pass. Problems that look permanent are about to turn around. 480 00:27:08,820 --> 00:27:14,730 Speaker 1: Favor is coming. Breakthroughs, restoration, abundance, the fullness of your 481 00:27:14,770 --> 00:27:17,090 Speaker 1: destiny in Jesus' name. 482 00:27:17,450 --> 00:27:19,530 Speaker 2: If you receive it, can you say amen today? 483 00:27:21,290 --> 00:27:24,190 Speaker 1: I'd like to give you an opportunity to make Jesus 484 00:27:24,270 --> 00:27:26,770 Speaker 1: the Lord of your life. Would you pray with me? 485 00:27:27,170 --> 00:27:31,230 Speaker 1: Just say, Lord Jesus, I repent of my sins. 486 00:27:32,450 --> 00:27:36,430 Speaker 2: Come into my heart. I make you my Lord and Savior. 487 00:27:37,670 --> 00:27:40,130 Speaker 1: If you prayed that simple prayer, we believe you got 488 00:27:40,210 --> 00:27:43,409 Speaker 1: born again.
