14
00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:36,920
Speaker 2: Thanks again for coming out today. And I like to

15
00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:39,400
Speaker 2: start with something funny each week. And I heard about

16
00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:40,680
Speaker 2: this elderly preacher.

17
00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:41,839
Speaker 1: He was dying.

18
00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:45,040
Speaker 2: He sent word for two of his members, an our

19
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:48,040
Speaker 2: s agent and a lawyer to come to his house.

20
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:50,879
Speaker 2: When they got there, he motioned with his hands to

21
00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:53,840
Speaker 2: sit on each side of the bed. The men were

22
00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:56,800
Speaker 2: very moved that they could be there during his final moments.

23
00:00:57,080 --> 00:00:59,560
Speaker 2: The lawyer finally spoke up and said, sir, what made

24
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:02,720
Speaker 2: you chew both of us. The minister mustered up some

25
00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:06,480
Speaker 2: strength and said, Jesus died between two sinners, and that's

26
00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:10,360
Speaker 2: the way I want to go. Hold up your Bible,

27
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:13,120
Speaker 2: say it like you mean it. This is my Bible.

28
00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:16,040
Speaker 2: I am what it says I am. I have what

29
00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:18,520
Speaker 2: it says I have. I can do what it says

30
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:21,280
Speaker 2: I can do. Today I will be taught the word

31
00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:25,560
Speaker 2: of God. I boldly confess. My mind is alert, my

32
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:30,080
Speaker 2: heart is receptive. I will never be the same. In Jesus' name,

33
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:33,520
Speaker 2: God bless you. I want to talk to you today

34
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:38,160
Speaker 2: about the anointing of ease. We all go through seasons

35
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:41,639
Speaker 2: that are more difficult than others, seasons where we're working

36
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:45,880
Speaker 2: hard but not making much progress. Maybe in a relationship,

37
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:49,240
Speaker 2: you're doing your best, but it still seems stagnant. There

38
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:53,120
Speaker 2: are seasons in our finances where it's one struggle after another.

39
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:57,200
Speaker 2: We take one step forward, it seems like two steps backwards,

40
00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:00,680
Speaker 2: and if we're not careful, we'll lose our enthusiasm and

41
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:03,800
Speaker 2: think this is just the way life is. I'm always

42
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:06,920
Speaker 2: going to struggle in my marriage, Joel, I'm always going

43
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 2: to struggle raising this child. Life is just hard and yes,

44
00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 2: there are seasons that we have to stand strong and

45
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:18,000
Speaker 2: do the right thing even though it's difficult. But don't

46
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:21,320
Speaker 2: make the mistake of settling there and thinking that's the

47
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 2: way it's always going to be. Jesus said, my yoke

48
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:29,359
Speaker 2: is easy, and my burden is light. There's something called

49
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:33,160
Speaker 2: the anointing of ease. When you step into this anointing,

50
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:37,520
Speaker 2: what was difficult, all of a sudden becomes easy.

51
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:39,359
Speaker 1: Things you used to struggle.

52
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:43,000
Speaker 2: With are not a struggle anymore. There's a supernatural grace,

53
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 2: a favor that lightens the load and takes the pressure off.

54
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:51,040
Speaker 2: A gentleman told how he had struggled in his business

55
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:54,240
Speaker 2: month after month. It was very slow, and he had

56
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:57,840
Speaker 2: been tracking every lead and beating down every door with

57
00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 2: no success. Look like it would go under, look like

58
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:04,880
Speaker 2: he wouldn't survive. But at the last minute, this new

59
00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:09,840
Speaker 2: client called him. This company actually searched him out. Today

60
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:13,880
Speaker 2: they're his biggest account. Things have totally turned around. He's

61
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 2: having a banner year in spite of the economy. What

62
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:21,160
Speaker 2: happened he stepped in to that anointing of ease. What

63
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:24,520
Speaker 2: he couldn't make happen on his own, God made happen

64
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:25,120
Speaker 2: for him.

65
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:27,240
Speaker 1: That one good break.

66
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 2: Took all the pressure off Some of you, just like him,

67
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:34,000
Speaker 2: you have struggled in an area year after year. But

68
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:36,800
Speaker 2: I want to announce today you're about to come in

69
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:40,680
Speaker 2: to your anointing of ease. God has promised he will

70
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:44,480
Speaker 2: go before you and make your crooked places straight. That

71
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 2: means he's gonna smooth things out. He's gonna make your

72
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:51,920
Speaker 2: life easier. You're coming into a season where things are

73
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:55,480
Speaker 2: going to start falling into place. You're gonna get breaks

74
00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:59,840
Speaker 2: that you didn't deserve. Problems that you've struggled with for years,

75
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:03,160
Speaker 2: all of a sudden, are going to resolve. Those promises

76
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 2: you've been standing on. You're gonna see them begin to

77
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:08,560
Speaker 2: come to pass. You need to get ready and get

78
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 2: your fire back. You're coming into a new season. Maybe

79
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:14,360
Speaker 2: it's in your finances. You've struggled for a long time.

80
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:17,880
Speaker 2: Let me just declare it. You're gonna see supernatural increase,

81
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:21,920
Speaker 2: supernatural opportunities, supernatural promotion.

82
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:25,840
Speaker 1: The economy is not your source. God is your source.

83
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:29,479
Speaker 2: He is going to open up doors that no person

84
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:30,120
Speaker 2: can shut.

85
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:32,400
Speaker 1: He is going to.

86
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:35,240
Speaker 2: Show up and show out in your life in unusual

87
00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:39,600
Speaker 2: ways and what could have taken you a lifetime to accomplish.

88
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:43,799
Speaker 2: Because of His favor, his blessing, his goodness is gonna

89
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:46,760
Speaker 2: happen in a much shorter period of time. You're gonna

90
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:49,840
Speaker 2: look back in amazement and say, how did I get

91
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:52,599
Speaker 2: to where I am? God has been good to me.

92
00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:56,400
Speaker 2: He has outdone himself in my life. That's the anointing

93
00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:59,160
Speaker 2: of ease. I talked to a lady that was having

94
00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:03,040
Speaker 2: difficulty raising her child. It was one struggle after another,

95
00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:05,880
Speaker 2: and she said, Joel, I'm so frustrated. I don't think

96
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:09,320
Speaker 2: we'll ever get along. I told her what I'm telling you.

97
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:13,640
Speaker 2: God is about to reward your faithfulness. You have sown

98
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:18,200
Speaker 2: all those seeds you have planted, you have watered. Now

99
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:21,480
Speaker 2: you're about to come into harvest. That situation is going

100
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:24,720
Speaker 2: to turn around, not to where you just don't argue anymore,

101
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:28,599
Speaker 2: but to where you're actually friends, where you enjoy each

102
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:29,400
Speaker 2: other's company.

103
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:30,919
Speaker 1: It's going to be a new season.

104
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:34,040
Speaker 2: I want you to get your hopes up today. There

105
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:37,320
Speaker 2: are so many things trying to pull us down. Every

106
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:41,040
Speaker 2: time you turn around, we're being bombarded with bad news

107
00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:45,240
Speaker 2: from every direction. And I realize that life can be difficult.

108
00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:47,920
Speaker 2: I'm not saying that if you stay in faith you'll

109
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:50,760
Speaker 2: never have a problem, but there is a peace that

110
00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:53,920
Speaker 2: God can give you in the midst of the challenge

111
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 2: to where you say, I should be upset, I should

112
00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:01,120
Speaker 2: be losing sleep at night, but I'm not least bit worried.

113
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:04,080
Speaker 2: I know God is still on the throne. I know

114
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:07,039
Speaker 2: he's working this out for my good. He has given

115
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:09,960
Speaker 2: me the grace to handle anything that comes my way.

116
00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:13,480
Speaker 2: And I am not a victim of the bad economy.

117
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:16,160
Speaker 2: I'm not a victim of this sickness. I'm not a

118
00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:18,760
Speaker 2: victim of how I was raised, a victim of somebody

119
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:20,000
Speaker 2: else's bad choice.

120
00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:23,040
Speaker 1: I am a victor and never a victim.

121
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:26,880
Speaker 2: When you step into this anointing of ease, you don't

122
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:31,520
Speaker 2: drag around, discourage, despondent. You're in faith, hope, and believe

123
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:34,840
Speaker 2: and expecting. That's when God will show up and make

124
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:37,840
Speaker 2: your crooked places straight. That's when you'll look up and say,

125
00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:40,839
Speaker 2: you know what, I don't struggle in this area anymore.

126
00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:43,920
Speaker 2: God took the pressure off. Things are starting to fall

127
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:47,120
Speaker 2: into place. You may not be there just yet, but

128
00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:50,080
Speaker 2: every day you need to say Father, thank you that

129
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:52,080
Speaker 2: I'm coming into that anointing of ease.

130
00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 1: Thank you that you're.

131
00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:56,880
Speaker 2: Fighting my battles for me, making my rough places smooth,

132
00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:00,520
Speaker 2: giving me the desires of my heart. This is what

133
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:04,360
Speaker 2: David did. He declared it in Psalm twenty three, verse five.

134
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:09,520
Speaker 2: God anoints my head with oil. You know what oil does.

135
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:14,400
Speaker 2: It makes things flow. Whenever there's friction, something gets stuck,

136
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:16,760
Speaker 2: you put oil on it to lubricate it, to make

137
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:19,600
Speaker 2: it more fluid. That's what God is doing for each

138
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:23,440
Speaker 2: one of you. He anoints your head with oil. When

139
00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:28,720
Speaker 2: he does that, Notice what happens. David said, because God

140
00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:33,600
Speaker 2: annoys me, because I walk in his favor, surely goodness

141
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:37,960
Speaker 2: and mercy will follow me everywhere I go. That means

142
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:41,120
Speaker 2: things are gonna be easier. People are gonna go out

143
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:43,440
Speaker 2: of their way to be good to you for no reason.

144
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:48,240
Speaker 2: You're gonna have creativity, wisdom, good ideas. You don't even

145
00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:51,360
Speaker 2: know where it came from. It's because of the oil

146
00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:52,760
Speaker 2: God put on your life.

147
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:54,280
Speaker 1: It represents his annoying.

148
00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:58,400
Speaker 2: When you're all oiled up, somebody offends you, it's no

149
00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:02,360
Speaker 2: big deal. It can't stick flows right off. That oil

150
00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:05,760
Speaker 2: will help you to flow through the traffic without getting upset.

151
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:10,680
Speaker 2: Remember that when you leave today, God's annoying on your

152
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:13,920
Speaker 2: life will cause the right doors to open. It will

153
00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:16,680
Speaker 2: bring the right people across your path. It will make

154
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:20,440
Speaker 2: things go smoother. Every morning, before you leave the house,

155
00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:23,880
Speaker 2: just like sometimes you put on sunscreen, you need.

156
00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:25,920
Speaker 1: To put on the oil of God's goodness.

157
00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:28,560
Speaker 2: Just say, Father, thank you for your favor in my

158
00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:29,320
Speaker 2: life today.

159
00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:31,280
Speaker 1: Thank you for causing me to be.

160
00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:34,200
Speaker 2: At the right place at the right time. Thank you

161
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:38,120
Speaker 2: for your wisdom to make good decisions, your grace to

162
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:42,880
Speaker 2: handle any challenge, your strength to overcome any adversity, and

163
00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:46,760
Speaker 2: your faith to believe for big things. When you get

164
00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:50,160
Speaker 2: in agreement with God like that, you start declaring his

165
00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:54,240
Speaker 2: favor his promises over your life. Then you won't drag

166
00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:57,640
Speaker 2: through the day down and defeate it. You won't always

167
00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:00,880
Speaker 2: be getting the short end of the stick said your

168
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:04,920
Speaker 2: cup will run over. That means instead of always being

169
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:08,600
Speaker 2: worn out, you'll run over with energy, run over with

170
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:12,320
Speaker 2: good ideas, run over with divine health, run over in

171
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:15,560
Speaker 2: your finances, run over with joy. You will run over

172
00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:19,079
Speaker 2: with God's blessings and favor. I believe today I am

173
00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:30,640
Speaker 2: looking at running over people. The other day, I was

174
00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:33,960
Speaker 2: leaving a hotel early in the morning, and I was

175
00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:36,800
Speaker 2: traveling by myself that day. I usually travel with the team,

176
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:38,960
Speaker 2: but I was all alone, and I had a whole

177
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:41,360
Speaker 2: lot of luggage to carry. I was pulling a bag,

178
00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:43,200
Speaker 2: and I had my suit bag and I had a

179
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:46,240
Speaker 2: folder under my arm, plus I had my computer bag.

180
00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:49,120
Speaker 2: I just walked out of the hotel room, headed down

181
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:51,080
Speaker 2: the hall, and I was making it okay, but it

182
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:52,840
Speaker 2: was a little bit of a struggle to carry all that.

183
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:55,760
Speaker 2: And about fifteen or twenty steps down the way, a

184
00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:58,320
Speaker 2: young man came up out of nowhere. He worked there,

185
00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:00,200
Speaker 2: and he said, sir, let me get that for you.

186
00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:02,880
Speaker 2: He didn't take part of it, he took all of it.

187
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:05,440
Speaker 2: He wouldn't let me carry one bag. We got up

188
00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:08,600
Speaker 2: about fifty feet to the elevators, and it was very crowded.

189
00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:11,439
Speaker 2: It looked like a convention had just let out. He said,

190
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:14,760
Speaker 2: follow me. He took me to a service elevator.

191
00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:16,360
Speaker 1: We didn't have to wait one minute.

192
00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:19,400
Speaker 2: I got to the airport and the line for security

193
00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:22,199
Speaker 2: was very long, looked like it could easily take twenty

194
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:24,800
Speaker 2: or thirty minutes. And I was standing there just minding

195
00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:28,560
Speaker 2: my own business, and this gentleman came up wearing a badge,

196
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:32,120
Speaker 2: and he said, follow me. I didn't know if I

197
00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:36,000
Speaker 2: was in trouble or if this was the favor of God.

198
00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:40,319
Speaker 2: He took my bags through security for me. He called

199
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:43,240
Speaker 2: a cart and drove me to my gate himself. I

200
00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:44,760
Speaker 2: never asked him to do it, didn't even know who

201
00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:47,360
Speaker 2: he was. I got home later that evening, sat down

202
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:51,240
Speaker 2: in my favorite green chair. About that time, Victoria bought

203
00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:55,960
Speaker 2: my dinner on a tray. I knew at that moment

204
00:10:56,080 --> 00:10:57,800
Speaker 2: the day of miracles was not over.

205
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:01,240
Speaker 1: And what was that?

206
00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:05,559
Speaker 2: The anoying of ease, God going before me, making crooked

207
00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:08,880
Speaker 2: places straight, causing people to wanna be good to me.

208
00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:12,000
Speaker 2: I know some people say, oh, Joel, God's got bigger

209
00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:15,559
Speaker 2: things to deal with than me getting through the airport.

210
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:18,440
Speaker 2: He's got bigger things to deal with than somebody helping

211
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:21,079
Speaker 2: me with my luggage or me getting a good parking spot.

212
00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:22,400
Speaker 1: She don't understand.

213
00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:26,080
Speaker 2: You are God's biggest deal. You are the apple of

214
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:30,480
Speaker 2: his eye. You are his most prized possession. Don't tell

215
00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:34,040
Speaker 2: anybody but you are God's favorite child.

216
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:38,040
Speaker 1: The other day, our daughter Alexandra came up to me.

217
00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:40,880
Speaker 2: She's ten years old now, and she said, Dad, can

218
00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:43,320
Speaker 2: I have ten dollars to go to the movies? I

219
00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:46,080
Speaker 2: said yes, get it off my dresser in the closet.

220
00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:49,560
Speaker 2: She said thanks and went in the other direction. I said,

221
00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:51,720
Speaker 2: aren't you gonna get it? She smiled and.

222
00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:53,000
Speaker 1: Said I already did.

223
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:59,440
Speaker 2: She said, I knew you would say yes, and that

224
00:11:59,559 --> 00:11:59,840
Speaker 2: made me.

225
00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:02,439
Speaker 1: I thought, I like her confidence.

226
00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:05,240
Speaker 2: I love the fact that she knows I want to

227
00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:05,880
Speaker 2: be good to her.

228
00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:08,320
Speaker 1: You may not realize it, but.

229
00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:12,640
Speaker 2: God has already said yes to his promises. You don't

230
00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:14,920
Speaker 2: have to beg God to be good to you.

231
00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:17,920
Speaker 1: You don't have to beg God to help you. God

232
00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:18,960
Speaker 1: wants to help you.

233
00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:23,480
Speaker 2: The scripture says, all of his promises are yes and Amen.

234
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:26,440
Speaker 2: You need to go out every day knowing that God

235
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:28,760
Speaker 2: wants to help you driving through the traffic.

236
00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:30,520
Speaker 1: He wants to help you shopping at.

237
00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:34,400
Speaker 2: The grocery store, raising your children, dealing with that problem

238
00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:38,200
Speaker 2: at work. Start thanking Him every day for that anointing

239
00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:41,520
Speaker 2: of ease. I think about a young lady in the scripture.

240
00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:44,760
Speaker 2: Her name was Ruth. She'd had a very difficult life.

241
00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:48,040
Speaker 2: Her husband and brother in law were killed on the

242
00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:53,680
Speaker 2: same day in a battle, Ruth was discouraged, forlorn, upset,

243
00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:56,720
Speaker 2: didn't look like she had much of a future. She

244
00:12:56,920 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 2: moved to another country with her mother in law, nay Owned.

245
00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:03,520
Speaker 2: Now she was a stranger in a foreign land.

246
00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:06,040
Speaker 1: She was seen there as second class.

247
00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:09,880
Speaker 2: She wasn't really accepted. They had no food, no money.

248
00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:12,080
Speaker 2: Every day was a struggle to survive.

249
00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:14,280
Speaker 1: Ruth could have easily.

250
00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:17,760
Speaker 2: Gotten bitter, gotten discouraged, and thought life is not fair.

251
00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:21,840
Speaker 2: This is so difficult, God, why did this happen to me? No,

252
00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:25,640
Speaker 2: there was something different about Ruth. She knew that God

253
00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:29,840
Speaker 2: was still in control. She knew, like little Alexandra, that

254
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:34,600
Speaker 2: her heavenly father had already said yes, there was still something.

255
00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:35,360
Speaker 1: Great in her future.

256
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:38,720
Speaker 2: And every morning Ruth would go out into the fields

257
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:42,600
Speaker 2: and pick up the leftover wheat that the reapers had missed.

258
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:46,560
Speaker 2: This is how she and Naomi survived off the leftovers.

259
00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:50,480
Speaker 2: It was a constant struggle. But one day the owner

260
00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:52,960
Speaker 2: of that field, his name was Boaz.

261
00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:57,240
Speaker 1: He was the wealthiest man in the area. He noticed Ruth.

262
00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:00,440
Speaker 2: He didn't really know much about her, but for some

263
00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:03,199
Speaker 2: reason he had a desire to be good to her.

264
00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:08,040
Speaker 2: He told his workers to leave handfuls of wheat on

265
00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:11,440
Speaker 2: purpose for Ruth. The next morning, when she went out,

266
00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:14,120
Speaker 2: Ruth had more wheat than she could handle.

267
00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:17,560
Speaker 1: It wasn't a struggle anymore. I can imagine.

268
00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:20,680
Speaker 2: Naomi said, Ruth, how did you get back so quickly today?

269
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:23,760
Speaker 2: And where did you get all this wheat? Ruth said,

270
00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:25,920
Speaker 2: I don't know. It was just laying in my path.

271
00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:30,120
Speaker 2: I just stumbled across it. What happened Ruth stepped in

272
00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:34,720
Speaker 2: to that anointing of ease. She began to get unusual blessings.

273
00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:38,360
Speaker 2: This was favor that she didn't really have to work for,

274
00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:43,720
Speaker 2: favor that she didn't necessarily deserve. Just like Ruth, in

275
00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:48,640
Speaker 2: your future, God has left you handfuls on purpose. He's

276
00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:52,240
Speaker 2: already spoken to the right people to bless you. He's

277
00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:54,200
Speaker 2: already talked to your bow as is.

278
00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:55,800
Speaker 1: You don't have to worry.

279
00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:58,920
Speaker 2: Your life is not going to be a constant struggle.

280
00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:03,400
Speaker 2: Yes are seasons that are difficult, but don't you dare

281
00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:04,400
Speaker 2: settle there.

282
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:06,200
Speaker 1: God has already.

283
00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:09,880
Speaker 2: Lined up in your future the right breaks, the right opportunities,

284
00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:13,280
Speaker 2: the right people. That winter season will come to an

285
00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:16,960
Speaker 2: end and give way to springtime. One thing I love

286
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:20,800
Speaker 2: about God is. He likes to outdo himself. He didn't

287
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:24,320
Speaker 2: just meet Ruth's needs. He didn't just make her life easier.

288
00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:28,320
Speaker 2: He did more than she could even ask or think. Boaz,

289
00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:30,520
Speaker 2: the man that was in charge of it all. One

290
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:33,720
Speaker 2: day he and Ruth fell in love. They ended up

291
00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:37,480
Speaker 2: getting married. Now, instead of working in the field, Ruth

292
00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:40,440
Speaker 2: owned the field. Instead of going out each day getting

293
00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:43,280
Speaker 2: the leftovers, she had somebody bringing her wheat.

294
00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:48,040
Speaker 1: In other words, she had breakfast in bed. And you too.

295
00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:51,080
Speaker 2: If you'll stay in faith and just keep being your

296
00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:55,480
Speaker 2: best each day, you're gonna come across your handfuls on purpose,

297
00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:58,480
Speaker 2: You're gonna look back and say, Wow, God's been good

298
00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:01,440
Speaker 2: to me. I never dream I'd go from working at.

299
00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:03,720
Speaker 1: This business to owning my own business.

300
00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:06,400
Speaker 2: I never dreamed I'd go from teaching at this school

301
00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:09,360
Speaker 2: to run in this school. I never dreamed I'd go

302
00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:12,000
Speaker 2: from being behind the camera to being in front of

303
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:16,240
Speaker 2: the camera. What was that a handful on purpose left

304
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:20,040
Speaker 2: there by the creator of the universe. I remember one

305
00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:23,040
Speaker 2: time I was in a difficult situation. I didn't know

306
00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:25,360
Speaker 2: how it was going to resolve, and I was in

307
00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:28,480
Speaker 2: another city, far away from home, and I really needed

308
00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:32,000
Speaker 2: some advice, so I called a friend of mine. He said, Joe,

309
00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:34,320
Speaker 2: you really need to talk to one of my associates.

310
00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:36,760
Speaker 2: He's an expert in this field. He'll be able to

311
00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:40,160
Speaker 2: help you. But he's out of town for two weeks. Well,

312
00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:42,560
Speaker 2: I didn't have two weeks. That was like a lifetime

313
00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:45,040
Speaker 2: to me. He asked me where I was, and I

314
00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:48,200
Speaker 2: told him. He said, you've got to be kidding. That

315
00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:50,840
Speaker 2: man just left two or three hours ago, and that's

316
00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:52,480
Speaker 2: exactly where he's heading.

317
00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:53,800
Speaker 1: When he gave me.

318
00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:56,000
Speaker 2: The address, I found he was going to be less

319
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:58,080
Speaker 2: than two miles from where I was staying.

320
00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:01,080
Speaker 1: When I heard that, I knew God was still on

321
00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:04,400
Speaker 1: the throne. I knew that was a handful on purpose.

322
00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:05,480
Speaker 1: Here we were.

323
00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:08,960
Speaker 2: Both thousands of miles from home. We could be anywhere

324
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:11,639
Speaker 2: in the world. What are the chances that we'd end

325
00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:14,720
Speaker 2: up less than five minutes from each other? What am

326
00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:18,560
Speaker 2: I saying? God is directing every one of your steps.

327
00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:22,480
Speaker 2: He has already lined up solutions to your problems.

328
00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:25,000
Speaker 1: He has lined up the breaks that you need.

329
00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:28,119
Speaker 2: I want you to go out each day knowing that

330
00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:31,720
Speaker 2: there is favor in your future, There is restoration in

331
00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:32,320
Speaker 2: your future.

332
00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:35,920
Speaker 1: There is healing in your future. There are good breaks

333
00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:37,919
Speaker 1: right up ahead of you.

334
00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:41,280
Speaker 2: You single people, don't get discouraged. God has another bo

335
00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:45,119
Speaker 2: Az out there. He has the right person He's going

336
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:46,879
Speaker 2: to bring across your path at.

337
00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:49,760
Speaker 1: Just the right time. Well, you say, Joel, I've had

338
00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:51,040
Speaker 1: a lot of disappointments.

339
00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:54,720
Speaker 2: I got laid off, or my relationship didn't work out,

340
00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:57,200
Speaker 2: or I started a business that didn't make it, and

341
00:17:57,640 --> 00:18:01,080
Speaker 2: now I'm just trying to survive. That's exactly the way

342
00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:04,920
Speaker 2: Ruth failed. All the odds were against her. Life had

343
00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:09,160
Speaker 2: treated her unfair. But if Ruth were standing before you today,

344
00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:11,880
Speaker 2: she would look you in the eyes and say, keep

345
00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:15,879
Speaker 2: pressing forward. God has another victory in your future. You

346
00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:19,000
Speaker 2: don't know the handfuls on purpose that are right up

347
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:22,560
Speaker 2: ahead of you. Friends, God is gonna take you places

348
00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:26,400
Speaker 2: you've never even dreamed of. You are gonna accomplish goals

349
00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:30,760
Speaker 2: that you never thought possible. You're gonna overcome obstacles that

350
00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:34,399
Speaker 2: looked insurmountable. You may get knocked down every once in

351
00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:37,399
Speaker 2: a while, but you will never get knocked out. You

352
00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:40,600
Speaker 2: are a child of the most High God. He has

353
00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:44,879
Speaker 2: you in the palm of his hand. Right now, I

354
00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:49,640
Speaker 2: believe God is breathing new hope into your dreams. He's

355
00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:53,800
Speaker 2: breathing new life into your heart. He's breathing a bigger

356
00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:58,520
Speaker 2: vision into your spirit. One scripture says, it's not by

357
00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:01,880
Speaker 2: our might, it's not by our power, but it's by

358
00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:05,760
Speaker 2: the breath of Almighty God. And as God breathes on

359
00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:09,679
Speaker 2: your life, things are gonna get easier. Negative situations are

360
00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:13,480
Speaker 2: gonna turn around. You're gonna have wisdom beyond your years.

361
00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:16,640
Speaker 2: You're gonna have a resolve that will not give up,

362
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:21,080
Speaker 2: an attitude that refuses to quit. Why is that God's

363
00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:25,920
Speaker 2: breathing on your life. He's making things easier everywhere you go.

364
00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:29,359
Speaker 2: You need to imagine the most powerful force in the

365
00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:33,600
Speaker 2: universe is blowing in your direction. I believe some of you,

366
00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:37,120
Speaker 2: even this week, you're gonna come across one of those

367
00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:41,359
Speaker 2: handfuls on purpose. You're gonna sell property that you haven't

368
00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:44,520
Speaker 2: been able to sell. Somebody's gonna offer you a position,

369
00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:48,119
Speaker 2: a new opportunity that's further greater than you ever dreamed of,

370
00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:51,200
Speaker 2: or somebody for no reason, they're gonna go out of

371
00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:53,639
Speaker 2: their way to be good to you. What was it

372
00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:55,280
Speaker 2: a handful on purpose?

373
00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:57,040
Speaker 1: God breathing in your direction.

374
00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:01,560
Speaker 2: I talk to a single parent mom recently. She told

375
00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:03,760
Speaker 2: how it was such a struggle to make ends meet,

376
00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:06,960
Speaker 2: and she was having to work long hours, and she

377
00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:09,320
Speaker 2: felt bad that she couldn't be there with her children.

378
00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:11,640
Speaker 1: On top of that, she had no free.

379
00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:14,320
Speaker 2: Time for herself, no time to date or have any

380
00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:17,480
Speaker 2: kind of social life, and as far as she could see,

381
00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:19,960
Speaker 2: that's the way it would always be. She didn't see

382
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:24,120
Speaker 2: a sign of anything changing. But what she couldn't see

383
00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:27,240
Speaker 2: was right up around the corner was a handful on

384
00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:29,080
Speaker 2: purpose left there.

385
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:30,600
Speaker 1: By the creator of the universe.

386
00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:35,000
Speaker 2: The reason some people never experienced them is because they

387
00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:36,160
Speaker 2: quit pressing forward.

388
00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:39,280
Speaker 1: They're always looking back, wondering why.

389
00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:41,920
Speaker 2: Something happened, and why somebody left, and why they didn't

390
00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:44,240
Speaker 2: get that break or shake that off.

391
00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:46,840
Speaker 1: Get up every morning, put your oil on.

392
00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:49,840
Speaker 2: Thank God for his favor, thank him that he's directing

393
00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:50,520
Speaker 2: your steps.

394
00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:53,240
Speaker 1: That's what this young lady began to do.

395
00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:56,119
Speaker 2: And one day a couple that lived down the street,

396
00:20:56,560 --> 00:20:59,760
Speaker 2: she barely even knew them. They bought her a brand

397
00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:02,520
Speaker 2: new car. She was able to sell her old car,

398
00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:05,440
Speaker 2: pay off some debts. Now she doesn't have to work

399
00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:09,320
Speaker 2: those long hours that one gift took the pressure off.

400
00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:11,760
Speaker 2: She said, Joel, It's just like a load has been

401
00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:12,679
Speaker 2: lefted off of me.

402
00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:15,520
Speaker 1: What was that? A handful on purpose?

403
00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:19,479
Speaker 2: God causing people to make her life easier. And some

404
00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:22,240
Speaker 2: of you are living so worried and so stressed about

405
00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:24,919
Speaker 2: your future. You need to come back to that place

406
00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:29,320
Speaker 2: of peace. When you're in peace, it's a position of power.

407
00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:33,640
Speaker 2: You're saying, God, I trust you. Like Ruth, I may

408
00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:35,840
Speaker 2: not see a way, but I know you still have

409
00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:38,640
Speaker 2: a way. So I'm gonna go out each day being

410
00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:42,639
Speaker 2: my best, being productive at work, being a blessing to

411
00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:46,920
Speaker 2: somebody else, not looking back, regretting the past. But I'm

412
00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:50,600
Speaker 2: pressing forward in faith. When you do that, you might.

413
00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:51,359
Speaker 1: As well get ready.

414
00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:55,560
Speaker 2: You're gonna come across your handfuls on purpose. I read

415
00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:58,280
Speaker 2: a story about this little eight year old girl. She

416
00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:01,720
Speaker 2: overheard her parents talking about out how her little brother

417
00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:05,440
Speaker 2: he was very sick and in desperate need of an operation.

418
00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:09,040
Speaker 2: They had spent all their fund, so much so they

419
00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:12,240
Speaker 2: had to move out of their house into a small apartment.

420
00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:15,440
Speaker 2: The dad told the mom the only thing that will

421
00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:18,719
Speaker 2: save him now is a miracle. The little girl got

422
00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:21,840
Speaker 2: her piggy bank and emptied all the coins out. She

423
00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:25,439
Speaker 2: counted them carefully, one by one. She had exactly a

424
00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:29,119
Speaker 2: dollar and eleven cents. She went down the street to

425
00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:32,879
Speaker 2: the local pharmacy. Now at the counter, she waited and

426
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:36,480
Speaker 2: waited for the pharmacists to stop talking to this other man.

427
00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:39,560
Speaker 2: But they talked and talked, and she became more and

428
00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:43,200
Speaker 2: more impatient. She started rattling her coins together and scuffling

429
00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:47,160
Speaker 2: her feet, making more noise. The more she fidgeted, the

430
00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:51,040
Speaker 2: more annoyed the pharmacist got. Finally, he said, young lady,

431
00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:53,720
Speaker 2: I'm gonna be with you in just a moment, but

432
00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:56,600
Speaker 2: I'm talking to my brother. I haven't seen him in

433
00:22:56,640 --> 00:23:00,000
Speaker 2: a long time. She said, no, I don't have a moment.

434
00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:03,600
Speaker 2: My little brother is sick and I need to buy

435
00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:06,760
Speaker 2: a miracle. He looked kind of puzzled and said you

436
00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:09,399
Speaker 2: need to buy what? She said, I need to buy

437
00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:13,280
Speaker 2: a miracle. My little brother needs an operation. How much

438
00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:18,000
Speaker 2: does a miracle cost? The pharmacist brother stooped down and said, honey,

439
00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:21,640
Speaker 2: what kind of miracle does your brother need? She said,

440
00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:23,919
Speaker 2: I don't know, but daddy doesn't have the money to

441
00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:25,800
Speaker 2: pay for it, so I want to use my own.

442
00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:28,760
Speaker 1: He said, how much do you have? She said a

443
00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:30,520
Speaker 1: dollar and eleven cents.

444
00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:33,960
Speaker 2: He smiled and said, what do you know, that's exactly

445
00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:36,600
Speaker 2: how much a miracle costs. He took her by the

446
00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:38,879
Speaker 2: hand and said, take me to see your parents. I

447
00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:41,760
Speaker 2: want to talk to them. That man was a well

448
00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:46,920
Speaker 2: known surgeon. He specialized in neurosurgery. It just so happened

449
00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:50,000
Speaker 2: that's the exact type of operation the little boy needed.

450
00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:53,720
Speaker 2: Long story short, he did the operation without charge, and

451
00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:56,240
Speaker 2: it wasn't any time for the little boy was doing

452
00:23:56,320 --> 00:24:01,560
Speaker 2: just fine. The mother asked later, I wonder how much

453
00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:05,359
Speaker 2: this operation would have really cost. The little girl knew

454
00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:09,560
Speaker 2: a dollar and eleven cents plus the faith of a

455
00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:10,280
Speaker 2: little child.

456
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:11,840
Speaker 1: What am I saying?

457
00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:15,719
Speaker 2: God knows every need you will ever have. He has

458
00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:19,000
Speaker 2: already lined up the right people. He's already lined up

459
00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:22,120
Speaker 2: the right breaks. You don't have to figure it all out,

460
00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:24,480
Speaker 2: how you're gonna get out of debt, how you're gonna

461
00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:28,200
Speaker 2: get well, how you're gonna survive the difficult times. All

462
00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:30,679
Speaker 2: you have to do is have the faith of a

463
00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:35,080
Speaker 2: little child. Dare to believe that God is in control.

464
00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:37,760
Speaker 2: Believe that He's got you in the palm of his hand.

465
00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:43,119
Speaker 2: Believe that in your future are handfuls on purpose. Psalm

466
00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:47,600
Speaker 2: one in the Message translation says, it seemed like a

467
00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:51,199
Speaker 2: dream too good to be true when God gave us

468
00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:55,239
Speaker 2: the victory. Now, God do it again, so those with

469
00:24:55,359 --> 00:25:00,199
Speaker 2: heavy hearts will come out laughing with armloads of blessing.

470
00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:01,920
Speaker 1: That's God's dreams.

471
00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:04,800
Speaker 2: When you have a heavy heart, when life deals you

472
00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:08,880
Speaker 2: a difficult blow, God wants to turn it around and

473
00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:12,000
Speaker 2: not only bring you out, but bring you out with

474
00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:16,399
Speaker 2: a smile, better off than you were before, with armloads

475
00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:19,679
Speaker 2: of blessings. That's what He did for this family. It

476
00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:22,800
Speaker 2: was more than they could even ask or think. Now.

477
00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:25,199
Speaker 2: I don't know about you, but I've seen God do

478
00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:30,920
Speaker 2: amazing things. I've experienced firsthand some of those armloads of blessings.

479
00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:33,760
Speaker 2: When I look back over my life, I can say,

480
00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:36,720
Speaker 2: with the psalmis, it's like a dream too good to

481
00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:40,199
Speaker 2: be true. Now my prayer is for each one of

482
00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:42,840
Speaker 2: you my prayers. God, do it again. Do it for

483
00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:49,040
Speaker 2: my friends. Show them your unprecedented favor, Pour out your goodness,

484
00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:54,119
Speaker 2: your blessings, your mercy, your grace. God, let their dreams

485
00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:57,880
Speaker 2: suddenly come to pass. Know this today if God did

486
00:25:57,920 --> 00:26:00,240
Speaker 2: it for me, if he did it for Ruth, if

487
00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:02,840
Speaker 2: he did it for that little boy that needed an operation,

488
00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:05,800
Speaker 2: he can certainly do it for you. Get up each

489
00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:10,240
Speaker 2: day with expectancy, have the attitude God, I'm looking for

490
00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:14,240
Speaker 2: my handfuls on purpose. I'm looking for those armloads of

491
00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:18,040
Speaker 2: blessings that You've already placed in my path. When you

492
00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:20,600
Speaker 2: release your faith like that, it's going to lead you

493
00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:23,919
Speaker 2: to the good things God has in your future. Now,

494
00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:26,480
Speaker 2: I know some of you today have been struggling in

495
00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:28,879
Speaker 2: a certain area for a long time, but I just

496
00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:30,000
Speaker 2: want to declare it again.

497
00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:31,440
Speaker 1: This is a new day.

498
00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:35,120
Speaker 2: You are coming into your anointing of ease. You're going

499
00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:39,320
Speaker 2: to feel a supernatural strength. God is going to give

500
00:26:39,359 --> 00:26:42,920
Speaker 2: you a new grace to face those challenges. Things you've

501
00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:45,159
Speaker 2: struggled with in the past are not going to be

502
00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:46,399
Speaker 2: a struggle anymore.

503
00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:50,240
Speaker 1: Like Ruth, You're gonna get breaks that you did not deserve.

504
00:26:50,560 --> 00:26:53,399
Speaker 2: Those problems you've dealt with for years, suddenly they're going

505
00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:56,080
Speaker 2: to turn around. You might as well get ready because

506
00:26:56,080 --> 00:26:58,600
Speaker 2: God is not going to just bring you out. He's

507
00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:01,440
Speaker 2: gonna bring you out laughing, full of joy, full of.

508

Speaker 1: Would you pray with me?

512
00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:18,000
Speaker 2: Just say, Lord, Jesus, I repent of my sins, Come

513
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:19,119
Speaker 2: into my heart.

514
00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:21,680
Speaker 1: I make you my Lord and savior.
