Speaker 1: Thanks so much for listening to the podcast today.
Speaker 2: Want you to know that Victorian and I are praying
Speaker 2: for you and your family this summer and just asking
Speaker 2: God to bring you more peace and joy and victory
Speaker 2: than you've ever seen before. Know that God spoil you,
Speaker 2: has got you in the palm of his hand, and
Speaker 2: I hope you enjoy the message today. Well, God bless you.
Speaker 2: It is always a joy to come into your homes.
Speaker 2: We love you, and I know God has great things
Speaker 2: in store for people that seek after him. I believe
Speaker 2: that's you, or you wouldn't have tuned in, so welcome.
Speaker 2: Come be a part of one of our services. If
Speaker 2: you're ever in the Houston area, we'd love to have you.
Speaker 2: Thanks again for coming out today. And I like to
Speaker 2: start with something funny each week. And I heard about
Speaker 2: this elderly preacher.
Speaker 1: He was dying.
Speaker 2: He sent word for two of his members, an our
Speaker 2: s agent and a lawyer to come to his house.
Speaker 2: When they got there, he motioned with his hands to
Speaker 2: sit on each side of the bed. The men were
Speaker 2: very moved that they could be there during his final moments.
Speaker 2: The lawyer finally spoke up and said, sir, what made
Speaker 2: you chew both of us. The minister mustered up some
Speaker 2: strength and said, Jesus died between two sinners, and that's
Speaker 2: the way I want to go. Hold up your Bible,
Speaker 2: say it like you mean it. This is my Bible.
Speaker 2: I am what it says I am. I have what
Speaker 2: it says I have. I can do what it says
Speaker 2: I can do. Today I will be taught the word
Speaker 2: of God. I boldly confess. My mind is alert, my
Speaker 2: heart is receptive. I will never be the same. In Jesus' name,
Speaker 2: God bless you. I want to talk to you today
Speaker 2: about the anointing of ease. We all go through seasons
Speaker 2: that are more difficult than others, seasons where we're working
Speaker 2: hard but not making much progress. Maybe in a relationship,
Speaker 2: you're doing your best, but it still seems stagnant. There
Speaker 2: are seasons in our finances where it's one struggle after another.
Speaker 2: We take one step forward, it seems like two steps backwards,
Speaker 2: and if we're not careful, we'll lose our enthusiasm and
Speaker 2: think this is just the way life is. I'm always
Speaker 2: going to struggle in my marriage, Joel, I'm always going
Speaker 2: to struggle raising this child. Life is just hard and yes,
Speaker 2: there are seasons that we have to stand strong and
Speaker 2: do the right thing even though it's difficult. But don't
Speaker 2: make the mistake of settling there and thinking that's the
Speaker 2: way it's always going to be. Jesus said, my yoke
Speaker 2: is easy, and my burden is light. There's something called
Speaker 2: the anointing of ease. When you step into this anointing,
Speaker 2: what was difficult, all of a sudden becomes easy.
Speaker 1: Things you used to struggle.
Speaker 2: With are not a struggle anymore. There's a supernatural grace,
Speaker 2: a favor that lightens the load and takes the pressure off.
Speaker 2: A gentleman told how he had struggled in his business
Speaker 2: month after month. It was very slow, and he had
Speaker 2: been tracking every lead and beating down every door with
Speaker 2: no success. Look like it would go under, look like
Speaker 2: he wouldn't survive. But at the last minute, this new
Speaker 2: client called him. This company actually searched him out. Today
Speaker 2: they're his biggest account. Things have totally turned around. He's
Speaker 2: having a banner year in spite of the economy. What
Speaker 2: happened he stepped in to that anointing of ease. What
Speaker 2: he couldn't make happen on his own, God made happen
Speaker 2: for him.
Speaker 1: That one good break.
Speaker 2: Took all the pressure off Some of you, just like him,
Speaker 2: you have struggled in an area year after year. But
Speaker 2: I want to announce today you're about to come in
Speaker 2: to your anointing of ease. God has promised he will
Speaker 2: go before you and make your crooked places straight. That
Speaker 2: means he's gonna smooth things out. He's gonna make your
Speaker 2: life easier. You're coming into a season where things are
Speaker 2: going to start falling into place. You're gonna get breaks
Speaker 2: that you didn't deserve. Problems that you've struggled with for years,
Speaker 2: all of a sudden, are going to resolve. Those promises
Speaker 2: you've been standing on. You're gonna see them begin to
Speaker 2: come to pass. You need to get ready and get
Speaker 2: your fire back. You're coming into a new season. Maybe
Speaker 2: it's in your finances. You've struggled for a long time.
Speaker 2: Let me just declare it. You're gonna see supernatural increase,
Speaker 2: supernatural opportunities, supernatural promotion.
Speaker 1: The economy is not your source. God is your source.
Speaker 2: He is going to open up doors that no person
Speaker 2: can shut.
Speaker 1: He is going to.
Speaker 2: Show up and show out in your life in unusual
Speaker 2: ways and what could have taken you a lifetime to accomplish.
Speaker 2: Because of His favor, his blessing, his goodness is gonna
Speaker 2: happen in a much shorter period of time. You're gonna
Speaker 2: look back in amazement and say, how did I get
Speaker 2: to where I am? God has been good to me.
Speaker 2: He has outdone himself in my life. That's the anointing
Speaker 2: of ease. I talked to a lady that was having
Speaker 2: difficulty raising her child. It was one struggle after another,
Speaker 2: and she said, Joel, I'm so frustrated. I don't think
Speaker 2: we'll ever get along. I told her what I'm telling you.
Speaker 2: God is about to reward your faithfulness. You have sown
Speaker 2: all those seeds you have planted, you have watered. Now
Speaker 2: you're about to come into harvest. That situation is going
Speaker 2: to turn around, not to where you just don't argue anymore,
Speaker 2: but to where you're actually friends, where you enjoy each
Speaker 2: other's company.
Speaker 1: It's going to be a new season.
Speaker 2: I want you to get your hopes up today. There
Speaker 2: are so many things trying to pull us down. Every
Speaker 2: time you turn around, we're being bombarded with bad news
Speaker 2: from every direction. And I realize that life can be difficult.
Speaker 2: I'm not saying that if you stay in faith you'll
Speaker 2: never have a problem, but there is a peace that
Speaker 2: God can give you in the midst of the challenge
Speaker 2: to where you say, I should be upset, I should
Speaker 2: be losing sleep at night, but I'm not least bit worried.
Speaker 2: I know God is still on the throne. I know
Speaker 2: he's working this out for my good. He has given
Speaker 2: me the grace to handle anything that comes my way.
Speaker 2: And I am not a victim of the bad economy.
Speaker 2: I'm not a victim of this sickness. I'm not a
Speaker 2: victim of how I was raised, a victim of somebody
Speaker 2: else's bad choice.
Speaker 1: I am a victor and never a victim.
Speaker 2: When you step into this anointing of ease, you don't
Speaker 2: drag around, discourage, despondent. You're in faith, hope, and believe
Speaker 2: and expecting. That's when God will show up and make
Speaker 2: your crooked places straight. That's when you'll look up and say,
Speaker 2: you know what, I don't struggle in this area anymore.
Speaker 2: God took the pressure off. Things are starting to fall
Speaker 2: into place. You may not be there just yet, but
Speaker 2: every day you need to say Father, thank you that
Speaker 2: I'm coming into that anointing of ease.
Speaker 1: Thank you that you're.
Speaker 2: Fighting my battles for me, making my rough places smooth,
Speaker 2: giving me the desires of my heart. This is what
Speaker 2: David did. He declared it in Psalm twenty three, verse five.
Speaker 2: God anoints my head with oil. You know what oil does.
Speaker 2: It makes things flow. Whenever there's friction, something gets stuck,
Speaker 2: you put oil on it to lubricate it, to make
Speaker 2: it more fluid. That's what God is doing for each
Speaker 2: one of you. He anoints your head with oil. When
Speaker 2: he does that, Notice what happens. David said, because God
Speaker 2: annoys me, because I walk in his favor, surely goodness
Speaker 2: and mercy will follow me everywhere I go. That means
Speaker 2: things are gonna be easier. People are gonna go out
Speaker 2: of their way to be good to you for no reason.
Speaker 2: You're gonna have creativity, wisdom, good ideas. You don't even
Speaker 2: know where it came from. It's because of the oil
Speaker 2: God put on your life.
Speaker 1: It represents his annoying.
Speaker 2: When you're all oiled up, somebody offends you, it's no
Speaker 2: big deal. It can't stick flows right off. That oil
Speaker 2: will help you to flow through the traffic without getting upset.
Speaker 2: Remember that when you leave today, God's annoying on your
Speaker 2: life will cause the right doors to open. It will
Speaker 2: bring the right people across your path. It will make
Speaker 2: things go smoother. Every morning, before you leave the house,
Speaker 2: just like sometimes you put on sunscreen, you need.
Speaker 1: To put on the oil of God's goodness.
Speaker 2: Just say, Father, thank you for your favor in my
Speaker 2: life today.
Speaker 1: Thank you for causing me to be.
Speaker 2: At the right place at the right time. Thank you
Speaker 2: for your wisdom to make good decisions, your grace to
Speaker 2: handle any challenge, your strength to overcome any adversity, and
Speaker 2: your faith to believe for big things. When you get
Speaker 2: in agreement with God like that, you start declaring his
Speaker 2: favor his promises over your life. Then you won't drag
Speaker 2: through the day down and defeate it. You won't always
Speaker 2: be getting the short end of the stick said your
Speaker 2: cup will run over. That means instead of always being
Speaker 2: worn out, you'll run over with energy, run over with
Speaker 2: good ideas, run over with divine health, run over in
Speaker 2: your finances, run over with joy. You will run over
Speaker 2: with God's blessings and favor. I believe today I am
Speaker 2: looking at running over people. The other day, I was
Speaker 2: leaving a hotel early in the morning, and I was
Speaker 2: traveling by myself that day. I usually travel with the team,
Speaker 2: but I was all alone, and I had a whole
Speaker 2: lot of luggage to carry. I was pulling a bag,
Speaker 2: and I had my suit bag and I had a
Speaker 2: folder under my arm, plus I had my computer bag.
Speaker 2: I just walked out of the hotel room, headed down
Speaker 2: the hall, and I was making it okay, but it
Speaker 2: was a little bit of a struggle to carry all that.
Speaker 2: And about fifteen or twenty steps down the way, a
Speaker 2: young man came up out of nowhere. He worked there,
Speaker 2: and he said, sir, let me get that for you.
Speaker 2: He didn't take part of it, he took all of it.
Speaker 2: He wouldn't let me carry one bag. We got up
Speaker 2: about fifty feet to the elevators, and it was very crowded.
Speaker 2: It looked like a convention had just let out. He said,
Speaker 2: follow me. He took me to a service elevator.
Speaker 1: We didn't have to wait one minute.
Speaker 2: I got to the airport and the line for security
Speaker 2: was very long, looked like it could easily take twenty
Speaker 2: or thirty minutes. And I was standing there just minding
Speaker 2: my own business, and this gentleman came up wearing a badge,
Speaker 2: and he said, follow me. I didn't know if I
Speaker 2: was in trouble or if this was the favor of God.
Speaker 2: He took my bags through security for me. He called
Speaker 2: a cart and drove me to my gate himself. I
Speaker 2: never asked him to do it, didn't even know who
Speaker 2: he was. I got home later that evening, sat down
Speaker 2: in my favorite green chair. About that time, Victoria bought
Speaker 2: my dinner on a tray. I knew at that moment
Speaker 2: the day of miracles was not over.
Speaker 1: And what was that?
Speaker 2: The anoying of ease, God going before me, making crooked
Speaker 2: places straight, causing people to wanna be good to me.
Speaker 2: I know some people say, oh, Joel, God's got bigger
Speaker 2: things to deal with than me getting through the airport.
Speaker 2: He's got bigger things to deal with than somebody helping
Speaker 2: me with my luggage or me getting a good parking spot.
Speaker 1: She don't understand.
Speaker 2: You are God's biggest deal. You are the apple of
Speaker 2: his eye. You are his most prized possession. Don't tell
Speaker 2: anybody but you are God's favorite child.
Speaker 1: The other day, our daughter Alexandra came up to me.
Speaker 2: She's ten years old now, and she said, Dad, can
Speaker 2: I have ten dollars to go to the movies? I
Speaker 2: said yes, get it off my dresser in the closet.
Speaker 2: She said thanks and went in the other direction. I said,
Speaker 2: aren't you gonna get it? She smiled and.
Speaker 1: Said I already did.
Speaker 2: She said, I knew you would say yes, and that
Speaker 2: made me.
Speaker 1: I thought, I like her confidence.
Speaker 2: I love the fact that she knows I want to
Speaker 2: be good to her.
Speaker 1: You may not realize it, but.
Speaker 2: God has already said yes to his promises. You don't
Speaker 2: have to beg God to be good to you.
Speaker 1: You don't have to beg God to help you. God
Speaker 1: wants to help you.
Speaker 2: The scripture says, all of his promises are yes and Amen.
Speaker 2: You need to go out every day knowing that God
Speaker 2: wants to help you driving through the traffic.
Speaker 1: He wants to help you shopping at.
Speaker 2: The grocery store, raising your children, dealing with that problem
Speaker 2: at work. Start thanking Him every day for that anointing
Speaker 2: of ease. I think about a young lady in the scripture.
Speaker 2: Her name was Ruth. She'd had a very difficult life.
Speaker 2: Her husband and brother in law were killed on the
Speaker 2: same day in a battle, Ruth was discouraged, forlorn, upset,
Speaker 2: didn't look like she had much of a future. She
Speaker 2: moved to another country with her mother in law, nay Owned.
Speaker 2: Now she was a stranger in a foreign land.
Speaker 1: She was seen there as second class.
Speaker 2: She wasn't really accepted. They had no food, no money.
Speaker 2: Every day was a struggle to survive.
Speaker 1: Ruth could have easily.
Speaker 2: Gotten bitter, gotten discouraged, and thought life is not fair.
Speaker 2: This is so difficult, God, why did this happen to me? No,
Speaker 2: there was something different about Ruth. She knew that God
Speaker 2: was still in control. She knew, like little Alexandra, that
Speaker 2: her heavenly father had already said yes, there was still something.
Speaker 1: Great in her future.
Speaker 2: And every morning Ruth would go out into the fields
Speaker 2: and pick up the leftover wheat that the reapers had missed.
Speaker 2: This is how she and Naomi survived off the leftovers.
Speaker 2: It was a constant struggle. But one day the owner
Speaker 2: of that field, his name was Boaz.
Speaker 1: He was the wealthiest man in the area. He noticed Ruth.
Speaker 2: He didn't really know much about her, but for some
Speaker 2: reason he had a desire to be good to her.
Speaker 2: He told his workers to leave handfuls of wheat on
Speaker 2: purpose for Ruth. The next morning, when she went out,
Speaker 2: Ruth had more wheat than she could handle.
Speaker 1: It wasn't a struggle anymore. I can imagine.
Speaker 2: Naomi said, Ruth, how did you get back so quickly today?
Speaker 2: And where did you get all this wheat? Ruth said,
Speaker 2: I don't know. It was just laying in my path.
Speaker 2: I just stumbled across it. What happened Ruth stepped in
Speaker 2: to that anointing of ease. She began to get unusual blessings.
Speaker 2: This was favor that she didn't really have to work for,
Speaker 2: favor that she didn't necessarily deserve. Just like Ruth, in
Speaker 2: your future, God has left you handfuls on purpose. He's
Speaker 2: already spoken to the right people to bless you. He's
Speaker 2: already talked to your bow as is.
Speaker 1: You don't have to worry.
Speaker 2: Your life is not going to be a constant struggle.
Speaker 2: Yes are seasons that are difficult, but don't you dare
Speaker 2: settle there.
Speaker 1: God has already.
Speaker 2: Lined up in your future the right breaks, the right opportunities,
Speaker 2: the right people. That winter season will come to an
Speaker 2: end and give way to springtime. One thing I love
Speaker 2: about God is. He likes to outdo himself. He didn't
Speaker 2: just meet Ruth's needs. He didn't just make her life easier.
Speaker 2: He did more than she could even ask or think. Boaz,
Speaker 2: the man that was in charge of it all. One
Speaker 2: day he and Ruth fell in love. They ended up
Speaker 2: getting married. Now, instead of working in the field, Ruth
Speaker 2: owned the field. Instead of going out each day getting
Speaker 2: the leftovers, she had somebody bringing her wheat.
Speaker 1: In other words, she had breakfast in bed. And you too.
Speaker 2: If you'll stay in faith and just keep being your
Speaker 2: best each day, you're gonna come across your handfuls on purpose,
Speaker 2: You're gonna look back and say, Wow, God's been good
Speaker 2: to me. I never dream I'd go from working at.
Speaker 1: This business to owning my own business.
Speaker 2: I never dreamed I'd go from teaching at this school
Speaker 2: to run in this school. I never dreamed I'd go
Speaker 2: from being behind the camera to being in front of
Speaker 2: the camera. What was that a handful on purpose left
Speaker 2: there by the creator of the universe. I remember one
Speaker 2: time I was in a difficult situation. I didn't know
Speaker 2: how it was going to resolve, and I was in
Speaker 2: another city, far away from home, and I really needed
Speaker 2: some advice, so I called a friend of mine. He said, Joe,
Speaker 2: you really need to talk to one of my associates.
Speaker 2: He's an expert in this field. He'll be able to
Speaker 2: help you. But he's out of town for two weeks. Well,
Speaker 2: I didn't have two weeks. That was like a lifetime
Speaker 2: to me. He asked me where I was, and I
Speaker 2: told him. He said, you've got to be kidding. That
Speaker 2: man just left two or three hours ago, and that's
Speaker 2: exactly where he's heading.
Speaker 1: When he gave me.
Speaker 2: The address, I found he was going to be less
Speaker 2: than two miles from where I was staying.
Speaker 1: When I heard that, I knew God was still on
Speaker 1: the throne. I knew that was a handful on purpose.
Speaker 1: Here we were.
Speaker 2: Both thousands of miles from home. We could be anywhere
Speaker 2: in the world. What are the chances that we'd end
Speaker 2: up less than five minutes from each other? What am
Speaker 2: I saying? God is directing every one of your steps.
Speaker 2: He has already lined up solutions to your problems.
Speaker 1: He has lined up the breaks that you need.
Speaker 2: I want you to go out each day knowing that
Speaker 2: there is favor in your future, There is restoration in
Speaker 2: your future.
Speaker 1: There is healing in your future. There are good breaks
Speaker 1: right up ahead of you.
Speaker 2: You single people, don't get discouraged. God has another bo
Speaker 2: Az out there. He has the right person He's going
Speaker 2: to bring across your path at.
Speaker 1: Just the right time. Well, you say, Joel, I've had
Speaker 1: a lot of disappointments.
Speaker 2: I got laid off, or my relationship didn't work out,
Speaker 2: or I started a business that didn't make it, and
Speaker 2: now I'm just trying to survive. That's exactly the way
Speaker 2: Ruth failed. All the odds were against her. Life had
Speaker 2: treated her unfair. But if Ruth were standing before you today,
Speaker 2: she would look you in the eyes and say, keep
Speaker 2: pressing forward. God has another victory in your future. You
Speaker 2: don't know the handfuls on purpose that are right up
Speaker 2: ahead of you. Friends, God is gonna take you places
Speaker 2: you've never even dreamed of. You are gonna accomplish goals
Speaker 2: that you never thought possible. You're gonna overcome obstacles that
Speaker 2: looked insurmountable. You may get knocked down every once in
Speaker 2: a while, but you will never get knocked out. You
Speaker 2: are a child of the most High God. He has
Speaker 2: you in the palm of his hand. Right now, I
Speaker 2: believe God is breathing new hope into your dreams. He's
Speaker 2: breathing new life into your heart. He's breathing a bigger
Speaker 2: vision into your spirit. One scripture says, it's not by
Speaker 2: our might, it's not by our power, but it's by
Speaker 2: the breath of Almighty God. And as God breathes on
Speaker 2: your life, things are gonna get easier. Negative situations are
Speaker 2: gonna turn around. You're gonna have wisdom beyond your years.
Speaker 2: You're gonna have a resolve that will not give up,
Speaker 2: an attitude that refuses to quit. Why is that God's
Speaker 2: breathing on your life. He's making things easier everywhere you go.
Speaker 2: You need to imagine the most powerful force in the
Speaker 2: universe is blowing in your direction. I believe some of you,
Speaker 2: even this week, you're gonna come across one of those
Speaker 2: handfuls on purpose. You're gonna sell property that you haven't
Speaker 2: been able to sell. Somebody's gonna offer you a position,
Speaker 2: a new opportunity that's further greater than you ever dreamed of,
Speaker 2: or somebody for no reason, they're gonna go out of
Speaker 2: their way to be good to you. What was it
Speaker 2: a handful on purpose?
Speaker 1: God breathing in your direction.
Speaker 2: I talk to a single parent mom recently. She told
Speaker 2: how it was such a struggle to make ends meet,
Speaker 2: and she was having to work long hours, and she
Speaker 2: felt bad that she couldn't be there with her children.
Speaker 1: On top of that, she had no free.
Speaker 2: Time for herself, no time to date or have any
Speaker 2: kind of social life, and as far as she could see,
Speaker 2: that's the way it would always be. She didn't see
Speaker 2: a sign of anything changing. But what she couldn't see
Speaker 2: was right up around the corner was a handful on
Speaker 2: purpose left there.
Speaker 1: By the creator of the universe.
Speaker 2: The reason some people never experienced them is because they
Speaker 2: quit pressing forward.
Speaker 1: They're always looking back, wondering why.
Speaker 2: Something happened, and why somebody left, and why they didn't
Speaker 2: get that break or shake that off.
Speaker 1: Get up every morning, put your oil on.
Speaker 2: Thank God for his favor, thank him that he's directing
Speaker 2: your steps.
Speaker 1: That's what this young lady began to do.
Speaker 2: And one day a couple that lived down the street,
Speaker 2: she barely even knew them. They bought her a brand
Speaker 2: new car. She was able to sell her old car,
Speaker 2: pay off some debts. Now she doesn't have to work
Speaker 2: those long hours that one gift took the pressure off.
Speaker 2: She said, Joel, It's just like a load has been
Speaker 2: lefted off of me.
Speaker 1: What was that? A handful on purpose?
Speaker 2: God causing people to make her life easier. And some
Speaker 2: of you are living so worried and so stressed about
Speaker 2: your future. You need to come back to that place
Speaker 2: of peace. When you're in peace, it's a position of power.
Speaker 2: You're saying, God, I trust you. Like Ruth, I may
Speaker 2: not see a way, but I know you still have
Speaker 2: a way. So I'm gonna go out each day being
Speaker 2: my best, being productive at work, being a blessing to
Speaker 2: somebody else, not looking back, regretting the past. But I'm
Speaker 2: pressing forward in faith. When you do that, you might.
Speaker 1: As well get ready.
Speaker 2: You're gonna come across your handfuls on purpose. I read
Speaker 2: a story about this little eight year old girl. She
Speaker 2: overheard her parents talking about out how her little brother
Speaker 2: he was very sick and in desperate need of an operation.
Speaker 2: They had spent all their fund, so much so they
Speaker 2: had to move out of their house into a small apartment.
Speaker 2: The dad told the mom the only thing that will
Speaker 2: save him now is a miracle. The little girl got
Speaker 2: her piggy bank and emptied all the coins out. She
Speaker 2: counted them carefully, one by one. She had exactly a
Speaker 2: dollar and eleven cents. She went down the street to
Speaker 2: the local pharmacy. Now at the counter, she waited and
Speaker 2: waited for the pharmacists to stop talking to this other man.
Speaker 2: But they talked and talked, and she became more and
Speaker 2: more impatient. She started rattling her coins together and scuffling
Speaker 2: her feet, making more noise. The more she fidgeted, the
Speaker 2: more annoyed the pharmacist got. Finally, he said, young lady,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna be with you in just a moment, but
Speaker 2: I'm talking to my brother. I haven't seen him in
Speaker 2: a long time. She said, no, I don't have a moment.
Speaker 2: My little brother is sick and I need to buy
Speaker 2: a miracle. He looked kind of puzzled and said you
Speaker 2: need to buy what? She said, I need to buy
Speaker 2: a miracle. My little brother needs an operation. How much
Speaker 2: does a miracle cost? The pharmacist brother stooped down and said, honey,
Speaker 2: what kind of miracle does your brother need? She said,
Speaker 2: I don't know, but daddy doesn't have the money to
Speaker 2: pay for it, so I want to use my own.
Speaker 1: He said, how much do you have? She said a
Speaker 1: dollar and eleven cents.
Speaker 2: He smiled and said, what do you know, that's exactly
Speaker 2: how much a miracle costs. He took her by the
Speaker 2: hand and said, take me to see your parents. I
Speaker 2: want to talk to them. That man was a well
Speaker 2: known surgeon. He specialized in neurosurgery. It just so happened
Speaker 2: that's the exact type of operation the little boy needed.
Speaker 2: Long story short, he did the operation without charge, and
Speaker 2: it wasn't any time for the little boy was doing
Speaker 2: just fine. The mother asked later, I wonder how much
Speaker 2: this operation would have really cost. The little girl knew
Speaker 2: a dollar and eleven cents plus the faith of a
Speaker 2: little child.
Speaker 1: What am I saying?
Speaker 2: God knows every need you will ever have. He has
Speaker 2: already lined up the right people. He's already lined up
Speaker 2: the right breaks. You don't have to figure it all out,
Speaker 2: how you're gonna get out of debt, how you're gonna
Speaker 2: get well, how you're gonna survive the difficult times. All
Speaker 2: you have to do is have the faith of a
Speaker 2: little child. Dare to believe that God is in control.
Speaker 2: Believe that He's got you in the palm of his hand.
Speaker 2: Believe that in your future are handfuls on purpose. Psalm
Speaker 2: one in the Message translation says, it seemed like a
Speaker 2: dream too good to be true when God gave us
Speaker 2: the victory. Now, God do it again, so those with
Speaker 2: heavy hearts will come out laughing with armloads of blessing.
Speaker 1: That's God's dreams.
Speaker 2: When you have a heavy heart, when life deals you
Speaker 2: a difficult blow, God wants to turn it around and
Speaker 2: not only bring you out, but bring you out with
Speaker 2: a smile, better off than you were before, with armloads
Speaker 2: of blessings. That's what He did for this family. It
Speaker 2: was more than they could even ask or think. Now.
Speaker 2: I don't know about you, but I've seen God do
Speaker 2: amazing things. I've experienced firsthand some of those armloads of blessings.
Speaker 2: When I look back over my life, I can say,
Speaker 2: with the psalmis, it's like a dream too good to
Speaker 2: be true. Now my prayer is for each one of
Speaker 2: you my prayers. God, do it again. Do it for
Speaker 2: my friends. Show them your unprecedented favor, Pour out your goodness,
Speaker 2: your blessings, your mercy, your grace. God, let their dreams
Speaker 2: suddenly come to pass. Know this today if God did
Speaker 2: it for me, if he did it for Ruth, if
Speaker 2: he did it for that little boy that needed an operation,
Speaker 2: he can certainly do it for you. Get up each
Speaker 2: day with expectancy, have the attitude God, I'm looking for
Speaker 2: my handfuls on purpose. I'm looking for those armloads of
Speaker 2: blessings that You've already placed in my path. When you
Speaker 2: release your faith like that, it's going to lead you
Speaker 2: to the good things God has in your future. Now,
Speaker 2: I know some of you today have been struggling in
Speaker 2: a certain area for a long time, but I just
Speaker 2: want to declare it again.
Speaker 1: This is a new day.
Speaker 2: You are coming into your anointing of ease. You're going
Speaker 2: to feel a supernatural strength. God is going to give
Speaker 2: you a new grace to face those challenges. Things you've
Speaker 2: struggled with in the past are not going to be
Speaker 2: a struggle anymore.
Speaker 1: Like Ruth, You're gonna get breaks that you did not deserve.
Speaker 2: Those problems you've dealt with for years, suddenly they're going
Speaker 2: to turn around. You might as well get ready because
Speaker 2: God is not going to just bring you out. He's
Speaker 2: gonna bring you out laughing, full of joy, full of.
Speaker 1: Faith, full of victory. Do you receive it today?
Speaker 2: We never like to close our broadcast without giving you
Speaker 2: an opportunity to make Jesus the lord of your life.
Speaker 1: Would you pray with me?
Speaker 2: Just say, Lord, Jesus, I repent of my sins, Come
Speaker 2: into my heart.
Speaker 1: I make you my Lord and savior.
Speaker 2: Friends, if you prayed that simple prayer, we believe you
Speaker 2: got born again. Get in a good Bible based church.
