Speaker 6: But thanks so much for tuning in, and thank you

48
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:15,640
Speaker 6: again for coming out today. I like to start with

49
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:20,800
Speaker 6: something funny heard about these two professional baseball players. They

50
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:23,760
Speaker 6: were discussing whether or not there would be baseball up

51
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:27,640
Speaker 6: in heaven. They made an agreement that whoever died first

52
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:30,400
Speaker 6: would come back and tell the other one if indeed

53
00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:33,840
Speaker 6: there was baseball in heaven. A few months later, one

54
00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:36,160
Speaker 6: of the men died, and just like he promised, he

55
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 6: came back.

56
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:38,559
Speaker 5: He said to his friend.

57
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:41,200
Speaker 6: I've got good news and I've got bad news. The

58
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:44,600
Speaker 6: good news is there is baseball up in heaven. The

59
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:50,200
Speaker 6: bad news is you're scheduled to pitch next Thursday. Hold

60
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 6: up your Bible. Say it like you mean it. This

61
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:53,640
Speaker 6: is my Bible.

62
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:55,280
Speaker 5: I am what it says. I am.

63
00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 6: I have what it says I have. I can do

64
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:00,520
Speaker 6: what it says I can do. Today, Hey, I will

65
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:04,000
Speaker 6: be taught the word of God. I boldly confess. My

66
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:07,600
Speaker 6: mind is alert, my heart is receptive. I will never

67
00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:12,600
Speaker 6: be the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you. I

68
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:17,400
Speaker 6: want to talk to you today about unexpected sunshine. A

69
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:20,160
Speaker 6: few months ago, it had been cloudy in Houston for

70
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:23,840
Speaker 6: a long time, gray, gloomy, overcast.

71
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:25,000
Speaker 5: Every morning.

72
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:27,600
Speaker 6: When I woke up, I thought, surely it's going to

73
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 6: be sunny today. I looked outside eagerly, but nothing had changed.

74
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:35,840
Speaker 6: I watched the weather reports on the news, but as

75
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:39,040
Speaker 6: far out as they predicted, it was all cloudy. Checked

76
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 6: the ten day report on my phone. Nothing had changed,

77
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:45,400
Speaker 6: no end in sight. It had been that way so

78
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:49,480
Speaker 6: long people started asking the question, when are we ever

79
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 6: going to see the sun again. Sometimes it can be

80
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 6: that way in life. Gets cloudy in our health, cloudy

81
00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:00,360
Speaker 6: in our finances, cloudy in a relationship.

82
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:03,360
Speaker 5: Day after day goes by, it doesn't look like it's

83
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:05,160
Speaker 5: ever going to change.

84
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:08,680
Speaker 6: A gentleman told recently how he struggled with an addiction

85
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:12,280
Speaker 6: since high school those dark clouds rolled in.

86
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:15,760
Speaker 5: Now thirty years later, he's still dealing with it.

87
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:18,839
Speaker 6: Hasn't seen the sun, And when it's been dark for

88
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:21,680
Speaker 6: a long time, it's easy to get discouraged and think

89
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:25,039
Speaker 6: that it's never going to change. But one morning I

90
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:28,520
Speaker 6: was in my office looking out the window was another gray,

91
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:32,320
Speaker 6: gloomy day, like it had been again and again. But

92
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:36,920
Speaker 6: all of a sudden, out of nowhere, the clouds broke open,

93
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:40,880
Speaker 6: and this bright ray of sunlight came shining down.

94
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:42,880
Speaker 5: It looked like a postcard.

95
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:47,160
Speaker 6: Was so beautiful, the sun shining through the trees, the

96
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:48,440
Speaker 6: ground was glistening.

97
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:50,640
Speaker 5: I sat there and took it all in.

98
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:54,560
Speaker 6: For such a welcome sight, I could feel my spirits lifting,

99
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:58,160
Speaker 6: and in a few minutes as I watched, all the

100
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:03,040
Speaker 6: clouds dissipated. They didn't blow away, they just went away

101
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:07,320
Speaker 6: like fog burning off. I heard these two words in

102
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:12,960
Speaker 6: my spirit, unexpected sunshine. Maybe it's been cloudy in your

103
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:16,279
Speaker 6: life for a long time. Those clouds of loneliness don't

104
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:17,480
Speaker 6: look like they'll ever leave.

105
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:19,920
Speaker 5: You don't think you'd ever meet the right person.

106
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:24,600
Speaker 6: But can I tell you God has unexpected sunshine. He's

107
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:28,680
Speaker 6: already lined up the person of your dreams, just a

108
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:31,240
Speaker 6: matter of time before those clouds open up.

109
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:35,520
Speaker 5: The medical report may say you'll never get well, Just

110
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:38,159
Speaker 5: learn to live with it. It's cloudy in your health,

111
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:39,839
Speaker 5: Stay encouraged.

112
00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:44,680
Speaker 6: Unexpected sunshine is coming your way. Or those clouds of

113
00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:48,760
Speaker 6: struggle lack, can't get ahead may have followed you around

114
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:53,120
Speaker 6: for years. You could easily accept mediocrity, think you've reached

115
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:58,080
Speaker 6: your limits. No, get ready for unexpected sunshine. One touch

116
00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:00,839
Speaker 6: of God's favor can thrust you to the next level.

117
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:05,440
Speaker 6: It may be overcast right now, gloomy in some area

118
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:09,880
Speaker 6: of your life. The good news is those clouds don't

119
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:14,960
Speaker 6: stop our God. He controls the clouds in a split second.

120
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:18,400
Speaker 6: He can cause them to open up. Suddenly you get well,

121
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:21,960
Speaker 6: Suddenly you meet the right person, Suddenly you're out of debt.

122
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:24,359
Speaker 6: Don't be discouraged by the clouds.

123
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:25,800
Speaker 5: They're only temporary.

124
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:29,640
Speaker 6: It was cloudy in our life in nineteen eighty one

125
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:34,080
Speaker 6: when my mother was diagnosed with terminal liver cancer. Those

126
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:39,600
Speaker 6: clouds came storming in and everywhere we looked it was dark, gloomy, depressing.

127
00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:44,479
Speaker 6: The forecast said a few weeks to live. But people

128
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:46,000
Speaker 6: don't have the final say.

129
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:47,080
Speaker 5: God does.

130
00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:52,200
Speaker 6: He said, I have unexpected sunshine. I'm going to cause

131
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:56,560
Speaker 6: those clouds to open up. Shine down, healing, shine down, restoration.

132
00:06:57,080 --> 00:07:00,680
Speaker 6: That's what happened in my mother's life. Unexpectedly the sun

133
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:04,159
Speaker 6: came out. Thirty four years later, she's still healthy and hall.

134
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:08,800
Speaker 5: But when it's cloudy, every voice will tell you it's

135
00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:09,840
Speaker 5: never gonna change.

136
00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:14,360
Speaker 6: You'll always be addicted, always be discouraged, always struggle in

137
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:15,320
Speaker 6: your career.

138
00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:17,120
Speaker 5: Don't believe those lies.

139
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:22,400
Speaker 6: God is saying, I have unexpected sunshine come in your way.

140
00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:26,040
Speaker 6: It's going to be unusual, out of the ordinary, and

141
00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:27,520
Speaker 6: it's going to happen Suddenly.

142
00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:29,960
Speaker 5: Those clouds are going to break open.

143
00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:33,880
Speaker 6: You're going to see rays of healing, raise of favor,

144
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:34,840
Speaker 6: raise of promotion.

145
00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:39,000
Speaker 5: Now do your part and get in agreement with God.

146
00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:43,160
Speaker 6: Start acting like it's gonna happen, thinking like it's gonna happen,

147
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:47,360
Speaker 6: talking like it's gonna happen. No more, I'll never get well, Joel,

148
00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:50,760
Speaker 6: I've had this too long. No, God is restoring health

149
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:54,200
Speaker 6: back into me. The number of my days he will fulfill.

150
00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:55,600
Speaker 4: No more.

151
00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:59,480
Speaker 6: I never get any good breaks. I'll never accomplish my dreams. No,

152
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:02,920
Speaker 6: I have the favor of God. Blessings are chasing me down.

153
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:04,320
Speaker 6: I'm the head and not the tail.

154
00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:08,640
Speaker 5: No more. This problem is too big. I don't see

155
00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:09,200
Speaker 5: a way out.

156
00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:09,600
Speaker 4: No.

157
00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:12,280
Speaker 6: It may be big, but I know my God is bigger.

158
00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:15,040
Speaker 6: May be a little cloudy right now, but I know

159
00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:20,800
Speaker 6: a secret unexpected sunshine is coming my way, Jesus said

160
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:24,320
Speaker 6: in Matthew six point twenty two. A pure eye, let

161
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:26,320
Speaker 6: sunshine into your soul.

162
00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:29,280
Speaker 5: When you have this attitude.

163
00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:34,000
Speaker 6: Of faith, positive, hopeful, expecting good things. That pure eye

164
00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:38,280
Speaker 6: is letting sunshine into your life. But when we go

165
00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:42,840
Speaker 6: around stressed out, worried, thinking it's never going to change,

166
00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:47,559
Speaker 6: that's stopping the sun It's causing more clouds to roll in,

167
00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:51,920
Speaker 6: more defeat, more mediocrity. You have to start letting some

168
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:56,040
Speaker 6: sun shine into your life. It doesn't start with God,

169
00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:59,760
Speaker 6: it starts with us. Instead of being discouraged by the

170
00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:04,400
Speaker 6: dark clouds. Our attitude should be any moment this can change.

171
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:08,400
Speaker 6: Healing is coming, promotion is coming, the right person is coming,

172
00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:11,880
Speaker 6: breakthroughs are coming. If you want to see the clouds

173
00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:16,520
Speaker 6: open up, you have to have this expectancy. Shake off

174
00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:19,920
Speaker 6: the negativity, quit talking about what's not working out.

175
00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:21,640
Speaker 5: Turn it around. God.

176
00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:24,679
Speaker 6: I know you're in control of these clouds. They didn't

177
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:27,200
Speaker 6: come to stay, they came to pass. I believe at

178
00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:32,080
Speaker 6: any moment, I'm going to see that unexpected sunshine. A

179
00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:35,000
Speaker 6: friend of mine had a supervisor at work that was

180
00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:37,760
Speaker 6: very condescending and hard to get along with.

181
00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:40,239
Speaker 5: Nobody liked the man.

182
00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:44,200
Speaker 6: This supervisor had been a constant source of frustration year

183
00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:44,800
Speaker 6: after year.

184
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:46,280
Speaker 5: He was a young man.

185
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:49,079
Speaker 6: He could have easily been there for another twenty or

186
00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:52,600
Speaker 6: thirty years, and my friend had a good attitude.

187
00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:55,600
Speaker 5: He was determined to be his best right where he was.

188
00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:59,240
Speaker 6: But in the back of his mind he thought, this

189
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:01,559
Speaker 6: is going to be a to have to put up with.

190
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:05,120
Speaker 5: This man the rest of my life. One morning he

191
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:05,920
Speaker 5: came to work.

192
00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:10,200
Speaker 6: Everything seemed like normal, but the management called a special

193
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:14,840
Speaker 6: staff meeting and they told how this supervisor's wife had

194
00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:19,240
Speaker 6: been transferred to another state, and just without any warning,

195
00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:21,120
Speaker 6: he resigned.

196
00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:22,560
Speaker 5: And was no longer with the company.

197
00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:25,640
Speaker 6: Half of the staff fell down on their knees begin

198
00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:30,560
Speaker 6: to thank God. What was that unexpected sunshine?

199
00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:34,679
Speaker 5: He didn't see it coming. The forecast was cloudy.

200
00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:39,600
Speaker 6: All the reports said this problem is permanent. But God

201
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:44,040
Speaker 6: controls the universe. He knows how to suddenly change things.

202
00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:48,200
Speaker 6: He can suddenly move the wrong people out. He can

203
00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:52,720
Speaker 6: suddenly open doors you never dreamed would open. That's why

204
00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:55,520
Speaker 6: you can't just go by what you see. What you

205
00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:59,800
Speaker 6: see is temporary, like those weather forecasts. It may tell

206
00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:02,199
Speaker 6: you it's going to be the same month after month,

207
00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:07,600
Speaker 6: year after year, gloomy, depressing, it's never going to change.

208
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:08,800
Speaker 5: In the natural.

209
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:12,120
Speaker 6: That may be true, But the good news is we

210
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:16,720
Speaker 6: serve a supernatural god on your own. You may be stuck,

211
00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:21,240
Speaker 6: but you're not on your own. The creator of the universe,

212
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:26,040
Speaker 6: the god who spoke worlds into existence, has you in

213
00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:30,280
Speaker 6: the palm of his hand. He's directing your steps. He

214
00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:34,640
Speaker 6: controls the clouds, he controls the winds. He doesn't have

215
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:37,240
Speaker 6: to wait for the weather to get better, doesn't have

216
00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:40,280
Speaker 6: to wait for the medical report to improve, doesn't have

217
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:43,120
Speaker 6: to wait for the situation to turn around. No, when

218
00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:48,080
Speaker 6: it's your time for promotion, for healing, for abundance, all

219
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:52,480
Speaker 6: the forces of darkness cannot stop our God. Don't get

220
00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:56,560
Speaker 6: discouraged and give up on what you're believing for you

221
00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:57,480
Speaker 6: need to get ready.

222
00:11:57,679 --> 00:11:59,679
Speaker 5: Those clouds are about to open up.

223
00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:03,640
Speaker 6: The sun is about to break through, Just like I

224
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:07,480
Speaker 6: saw in my office that day. In fifteen minutes, all

225
00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:09,839
Speaker 6: the clouds went out of the sky.

226
00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:10,839
Speaker 5: Totally cleared up.

227
00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:15,280
Speaker 6: God knows how to make what should have taken years

228
00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:18,880
Speaker 6: happen in a fraction of the time. You're gonna look

229
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:22,240
Speaker 6: up and say, like my friend, I didn't see that coming.

230
00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:26,800
Speaker 6: I didn't see my supervisor resigning that quickly. I didn't

231
00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:30,440
Speaker 6: see my health improving this fast. I didn't see that

232
00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:32,280
Speaker 6: new house on the radar.

233
00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:33,800
Speaker 5: I didn't see that favor coming.

234
00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:37,640
Speaker 6: A gentleman that's attended Lakewood for many years had a

235
00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:41,640
Speaker 6: major stroke. He was told by the medical professionals that

236
00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:45,080
Speaker 6: he would probably never be able to walk or talk again.

237
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:47,600
Speaker 5: Even if he did relearn how to.

238
00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:52,440
Speaker 6: Do it, it would take years of rehabilitation. It looked cloudy,

239
00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:57,240
Speaker 6: the forecast was very depressing. But this man understood this

240
00:12:57,400 --> 00:13:02,160
Speaker 6: principle that God has unexpected sunshine. He didn't sit around

241
00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:05,320
Speaker 6: in self pity. He knew he was a victor, not

242
00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:09,040
Speaker 6: a victim. He went to therapy every day, and he

243
00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:13,240
Speaker 6: amazed the therapist. They had never seen anyone like him.

244
00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:17,160
Speaker 6: Sixteen months after he had the stroke, he came back

245
00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:20,160
Speaker 6: to Lakewood for the first time. He came back not

246
00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:22,679
Speaker 6: in a wheelchair, not on a walker.

247
00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:24,920
Speaker 5: He walked in on his own two feet.

248
00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:28,240
Speaker 6: He was told that he would never be able to

249
00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:31,079
Speaker 6: lift this left arm. But when I saw him in

250
00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:34,400
Speaker 6: the lobby and our eyes met, he lifted that arm,

251
00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:39,440
Speaker 6: both arms raised in the air, raised in victory. I'll

252
00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:44,240
Speaker 6: never forget that image. He wasn't disabled, he wasn't limping.

253
00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:48,160
Speaker 6: What should have taken years, God made happen in a

254
00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:51,559
Speaker 6: fraction of the time, unexpected sunshine.

255
00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:53,840
Speaker 5: The scripture puts it this way.

256
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:59,320
Speaker 6: When darkness overtakes the righteous, light will come bursting in.

257
00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:03,880
Speaker 6: Doesn't say it'll trickle in barely get there, hopefully make

258
00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:09,800
Speaker 6: it one day. No, suddenly, unexpectedly, it will come bursting in.

259
00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:12,280
Speaker 5: That means it wasn't on the radar.

260
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:16,439
Speaker 6: You didn't see it coming, but God in his goodness,

261
00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:19,960
Speaker 6: turned it all around. It may be dark in your

262
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:23,200
Speaker 6: life right now, cloudy in some area. You don't see

263
00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:25,760
Speaker 6: how you'd ever get well, ever get out of dead,

264
00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:27,880
Speaker 6: ever see the legal situation resolve.

265
00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:32,240
Speaker 5: Here's the key. You are the righteous, You.

266
00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:35,080
Speaker 6: Are a child of the most High God. You have

267
00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:39,120
Speaker 6: royal blood flowing through your veins. That means you have

268
00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:43,400
Speaker 6: a promise from your creator. When it gets dark, when

269
00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:46,640
Speaker 6: you could easily be discouraged, when you feel like giving up,

270
00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:48,680
Speaker 6: God says you need to get ready.

271
00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:50,840
Speaker 5: Light is about to burst in.

272
00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:54,040
Speaker 6: Healing is going to burst in, favor is going to

273
00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:57,360
Speaker 6: burst in vindication, Restoration is.

274
00:14:57,320 --> 00:14:58,640
Speaker 5: Going to suddenly show up.

275
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:02,640
Speaker 6: A man that knew the Lord as a child, but

276
00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:06,040
Speaker 6: when he was a teenager he got off course, started

277
00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:08,720
Speaker 6: running with the wrong crowd. He was living a very

278
00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:13,920
Speaker 6: violent life, selling drugs, involved in crime. He was a

279
00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:18,320
Speaker 6: disaster waiting to happen. Most of his life he was high.

280
00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:21,760
Speaker 6: Surely God wouldn't have anything to do with him.

281
00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:25,480
Speaker 5: It was his own fault. He brought the trouble on himself.

282
00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:27,840
Speaker 5: But God is so merciful.

283
00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:31,680
Speaker 6: Even though he was making poor choices, even though he

284
00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:35,440
Speaker 6: turned away from God, God didn't turn away from him.

285
00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:39,520
Speaker 6: God still saw him as the righteous. In the midst

286
00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:42,040
Speaker 6: of all that trouble, God said, that's my son.

287
00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:43,760
Speaker 5: He belongs to me.

288
00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:47,600
Speaker 6: He is overcome by darkness, so my light is about

289
00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:51,360
Speaker 6: to come bursting in. He was in a hotel room,

290
00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:55,040
Speaker 6: been there for four days doing drugs with some very

291
00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:56,040
Speaker 6: violent people.

292
00:15:56,760 --> 00:15:58,200
Speaker 5: Something happened to where.

293
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:02,120
Speaker 6: He couldn't make his payment, became very angry and were

294
00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:06,160
Speaker 6: about to take his life. He ran and barricaded himself

295
00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:09,760
Speaker 6: in the bathroom. High on drugs, he said, this is

296
00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:13,600
Speaker 6: it God, I'm sorry, my life is over. In a

297
00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:18,479
Speaker 6: few minutes, the door was violently kicked in. He braced himself,

298
00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:22,080
Speaker 6: expecting the worst. When he looked up, it wasn't who

299
00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:25,440
Speaker 6: he thought. It was a group of young people from

300
00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:29,320
Speaker 6: Teen Challenge. He had been involved with that ministry as

301
00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:33,840
Speaker 6: a teenager. Now years later they heard that he was

302
00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:37,400
Speaker 6: in trouble. Somehow they found him in the middle of

303
00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:41,920
Speaker 6: the night in this drug infested run down hotel, just

304
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:44,480
Speaker 6: in the nick of time. They burst in there like

305
00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:48,120
Speaker 6: navy seals. The other people thought they were the police

306
00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:53,480
Speaker 6: and took off running. They picked him up off the ground, said,

307
00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:56,840
Speaker 6: God sent us here to rescue you because you belonged

308
00:16:56,880 --> 00:17:03,360
Speaker 6: to him. That night was the turning point in his life.

309
00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:07,320
Speaker 6: He never did another drug God out of that violent lifestyle.

310
00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:11,280
Speaker 6: Today he goes around to schools and churches telling people

311
00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:12,480
Speaker 6: what God has done for him.

312
00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:15,760
Speaker 5: Maybe, like this young man, you have.

313
00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:19,199
Speaker 6: A son, a daughter, a family member that's off course,

314
00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:23,119
Speaker 6: running with the wrong crowd. They've been overcome by darkness.

315
00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:27,320
Speaker 6: You could easily be discouraged, but stay in faith. Your

316
00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:31,560
Speaker 6: child belongs to God. There's nothing that can snatch them

317
00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:35,040
Speaker 6: out of his hand. They may be in darkness, but

318
00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:39,919
Speaker 6: light is coming, Deliverance is coming, Freedom is coming. God

319
00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:43,040
Speaker 6: is not judging them by where they are right now.

320
00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:44,480
Speaker 5: God is not.

321
00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:49,080
Speaker 6: Abandoning them because they turn their back. God still sees

322
00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:52,719
Speaker 6: them as the righteous. Light is still about to burst in.

323
00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:56,080
Speaker 6: Or maybe You've made poor choices.

324
00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:58,760
Speaker 5: You don't think you could expect anything.

325
00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:01,840
Speaker 6: Good, Joel, God would never help me. You don't know

326
00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:05,120
Speaker 6: the life that I've lived. It doesn't say God will

327
00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:08,480
Speaker 6: help the righteous as long as you don't make any mistakes.

328
00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:12,639
Speaker 5: Have a new perspective. You belong to God. You are

329
00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:16,440
Speaker 5: his child. Now you have to have this attitude God.

330
00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:17,560
Speaker 5: I made this mess.

331
00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:20,400
Speaker 6: I brought this trouble on myself. But I know You're

332
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:24,520
Speaker 6: a God of mercy. I believe you still have unexpected

333
00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:27,800
Speaker 6: sunshine come in my way. In other words, I'm struggling

334
00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:31,920
Speaker 6: with this addiction, but I believe deliverance is on the way. Restoration,

335
00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:37,080
Speaker 6: vindication is going to suddenly show up numbers. Chapter seventeen,

336
00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:40,280
Speaker 6: there had been a power struggle over who would become

337
00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:45,200
Speaker 6: the next priest. The people were questioning moses authority. God

338
00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:47,720
Speaker 6: told Moses he was going to show them who the

339
00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:51,320
Speaker 6: priest should be, and God instructed Moses to take the

340
00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:55,399
Speaker 6: stabs the walking sticks from the leaders of each of

341
00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:59,639
Speaker 6: the tribes of Israel. He placed these walking sticks in

342
00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:02,080
Speaker 6: a tear next to the ark of the Covenant.

343
00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:03,240
Speaker 5: That's where God lived.

344
00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:07,520
Speaker 6: Back there, these staffs were just old, dried up dead

345
00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:10,880
Speaker 6: pieces of wood, just basically a stick that they had

346
00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:14,640
Speaker 6: used for years. The next morning, the staff of Erin

347
00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:21,240
Speaker 6: had sprouted branches, grown leaves, and even produced almonds. Here

348
00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:25,440
Speaker 6: this old piece of dead wood was now blooming and blossoming.

349
00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:28,320
Speaker 5: They knew Erin was supposed to be the priest.

350
00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:32,080
Speaker 6: One lesson we can learn from this story is that

351
00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:34,480
Speaker 6: God can change things overnight.

352
00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:37,280
Speaker 5: He can take a situation that.

353
00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:42,320
Speaker 6: Should take years to resolve and accelerat it. You may

354
00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:45,240
Speaker 6: think it's going to take years to get well, years

355
00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:47,680
Speaker 6: to get out of debt, years to accomplish your dreams.

356
00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:49,960
Speaker 5: God knows how to speed it up.

357
00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:57,080
Speaker 6: One good break, one phone call, one idea, Suddenly, unexpectedly overnight,

358
00:19:57,160 --> 00:19:58,920
Speaker 6: God can change it now.

359
00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:02,600
Speaker 5: Don't believe the lies. It's never going to get better, Joel.

360
00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:07,440
Speaker 6: My marriage situation it looks dead, my dreams, my financial situation.

361
00:20:07,119 --> 00:20:08,760
Speaker 5: It all looks dead. That's okay.

362
00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:12,560
Speaker 6: God took a stick that it had been dead for

363
00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:16,679
Speaker 6: years and caused it to produce new fruit. What you

364
00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:20,400
Speaker 6: think is dead, God is saying I can still cause

365
00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:22,359
Speaker 6: it to bloom, to blossom.

366
00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:24,159
Speaker 5: I can breathe new life in it.

367
00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:27,280
Speaker 6: You can still become who you were created to be.

368
00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:32,159
Speaker 6: You can still overcome that obstacle. You can still accomplish

369
00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:35,520
Speaker 6: your dreams. I received a letter from a lady that

370
00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:38,760
Speaker 6: had been married for forty seven years, but because of

371
00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:42,560
Speaker 6: some hurtful things in the relationship, she and her husband

372
00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:47,080
Speaker 6: had recently gotten a divorce. Somebody invited her to Lakewood.

373
00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:50,200
Speaker 6: Her ex husband heard and asked if he could come.

374
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:53,520
Speaker 6: The Saturday night before the service, they had a big

375
00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:55,240
Speaker 6: disagreement on the phone.

376
00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:56,320
Speaker 5: Nothing had changed.

377
00:20:56,880 --> 00:20:59,080
Speaker 6: Sunday morning, he went and picked her up, and on

378
00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:02,760
Speaker 6: the way over in the car, they had another major argument.

379
00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:06,120
Speaker 6: She was so upset she almost got out and wouldn't

380
00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:08,919
Speaker 6: come in. They finally arrived and went way up to

381
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:11,600
Speaker 6: the top to sit. She mentioned to an usher that

382
00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:13,720
Speaker 6: it was their first time they were visiting.

383
00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:15,320
Speaker 5: He said, oh, follow me.

384
00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:18,040
Speaker 6: He took them from the very top to the front

385
00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:20,560
Speaker 6: section and sat them on the second road.

386
00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:23,480
Speaker 5: They were very moved by the service.

387
00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:26,919
Speaker 6: During the prayer time, they came up and prayed with

388
00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:30,960
Speaker 6: one of our volunteer prayer partners, a young lady. After

389
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:33,440
Speaker 6: the service, being new, they didn't really know where to go,

390
00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:36,320
Speaker 6: so they walked out this exit right over here by

391
00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:39,520
Speaker 6: my left I was coming out of a small room.

392
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:43,159
Speaker 6: She was coming around a corner and we literally bumped

393
00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:43,880
Speaker 6: into each other.

394
00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:45,320
Speaker 5: I said, oh, I'm.

395
00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:48,240
Speaker 6: Sorry, I didn't see you out of all the people here.

396
00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:52,040
Speaker 6: She was surprised that she bumped into me. Her husband

397
00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:55,719
Speaker 6: spoke up and said, we just got divorced after forty

398
00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:56,520
Speaker 6: seven years.

399
00:21:56,960 --> 00:21:59,040
Speaker 5: We came to church because we're hurting.

400
00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:02,359
Speaker 6: I told them it wasn't a coincidence that we had

401
00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:04,679
Speaker 6: bumped into each other. It was the hand of God

402
00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:08,600
Speaker 6: directing their steps. I had a new book that was

403
00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:12,000
Speaker 6: out and asked them if they'd come upstairs with me,

404
00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:13,720
Speaker 6: and I gave them a copy of my book, and

405
00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:17,160
Speaker 6: we prayed together. And as they were leaving through that lobby,

406
00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:21,000
Speaker 6: thousands of people walking in and out, it just so happened,

407
00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:24,199
Speaker 6: they bumped in to the young lady that had prayed

408
00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:27,960
Speaker 6: with them during the service, that volunteer prayer partner. She

409
00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:30,440
Speaker 6: asked if this couple had a moment that they could

410
00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:31,119
Speaker 6: talk together.

411
00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:32,720
Speaker 5: She spoke to them.

412
00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:36,240
Speaker 6: About forgiveness, restoration, new beginnings.

413
00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:38,960
Speaker 5: The wife was having a hard time forgiving.

414
00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:42,360
Speaker 6: She looked her in the eyes and said, your husband

415
00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:46,399
Speaker 6: is a good man. He deserves your forgiveness. That moment

416
00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:49,639
Speaker 6: she released the hurt, their marriage was restored.

417
00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:51,400
Speaker 5: That was six years ago.

418
00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:54,640
Speaker 6: Today they are happily remarried right here on the front road.

419
00:22:55,160 --> 00:23:00,440
Speaker 6: John and Anne some of our most faithful volunteers, really

420
00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:06,280
Speaker 6: great people, And wrote at the end of the letter Joel,

421
00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:10,720
Speaker 6: we were both stunned at how quickly God turned things around.

422
00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:11,959
Speaker 5: Friends.

423
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:16,199
Speaker 6: God knows how to change things overnight, even situations that

424
00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:20,159
Speaker 6: look impossible, you think it's way too far gone. God

425
00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:23,560
Speaker 6: knows how to break through those dark clouds Suddenly the

426
00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:27,879
Speaker 6: relationship is restored. Suddenly you get healthy again. Suddenly you

427
00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:32,560
Speaker 6: get that break you need. God is going to accelerate what.

428
00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:34,159
Speaker 5: You think should take years.

429
00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:37,520
Speaker 6: You know what that usher was that brought them from

430
00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:39,080
Speaker 6: the top down to the front.

431
00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:41,200
Speaker 5: Unexpected sunshine.

432
00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:45,400
Speaker 6: You know what that volunteer prayer partner was that took

433
00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:48,120
Speaker 6: time to speak faith into their life, that prayed within

434
00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:52,720
Speaker 6: that day. Unexpected sunshine. What am I saying? God has

435
00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:55,600
Speaker 6: the right people lined up for you. He knows how

436
00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:57,960
Speaker 6: to put you at the right place at the right time.

437
00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:01,440
Speaker 5: What are the chances, says all.

438
00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:04,200
Speaker 6: The people here that we would bump into each other.

439
00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:06,399
Speaker 6: It wasn't a coincidence.

440
00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:08,840
Speaker 5: It was unexpected sunshine.

441
00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:11,600
Speaker 6: You may think, Joe, in my situation, I don't see

442
00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:14,560
Speaker 6: how it could ever work out. Here's the beauty. You

443
00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:17,040
Speaker 6: don't have to figure it out. All you have to

444
00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:20,520
Speaker 6: do is believe. Just because you don't see a way

445
00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:23,960
Speaker 6: doesn't mean that God doesn't have a way. He already

446
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:28,200
Speaker 6: has the solution. Our attitude should be God, my life

447
00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:31,280
Speaker 6: is in your hands. It's a little cloudy right now.

448
00:24:31,560 --> 00:24:34,320
Speaker 6: I don't see how I could accomplish my dreams. But God,

449
00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:38,120
Speaker 6: I believe you have unexpected sunshine come in my way.

450
00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:41,520
Speaker 6: I believe you'll get me to where I'm supposed to be.

451
00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:46,199
Speaker 6: The Psalmists put it this way. Weeping may endure for

452
00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:50,720
Speaker 6: a night, but joy is coming in the morning. Think

453
00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:57,679
Speaker 6: about this, Morning starts at midnight. At midnight, it's still dark,

454
00:24:58,119 --> 00:25:01,000
Speaker 6: but it's a new day. When a few hours, light

455
00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:04,280
Speaker 6: is coming, the sun's going to break forth. But too

456
00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:07,000
Speaker 6: often when it's dark in our life, we think, oh, man,

457
00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:10,600
Speaker 6: nothing's changing, Joe, that's never going to get any better. No,

458
00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:14,159
Speaker 6: you have to believe that you pass midnight. You have

459
00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:16,560
Speaker 6: to believe that you've entered into a new day.

460
00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:18,120
Speaker 5: And here's the key.

461
00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:22,440
Speaker 6: Don't wait to thank God until you see the sunshine.

462
00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:26,040
Speaker 6: Dare to thank him while it's still dark. Dare to

463
00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:30,959
Speaker 6: have a good attitude while it's still cloudy. This is

464
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:34,679
Speaker 6: what faith is all about. We think, when I see it,

465
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:38,320
Speaker 6: I'll believe it. But faith says you have to believe

466
00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:39,760
Speaker 6: it and then you'll see it.

467
00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:41,639
Speaker 5: But when things.

468
00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:44,000
Speaker 6: Aren't going our way, it's easy to do just the opposite,

469
00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:47,800
Speaker 6: get negative, complain Why can't I get any good breaks?

470
00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:51,080
Speaker 5: When is this ever going to change? There's no turn

471
00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:51,640
Speaker 5: it around.

472
00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:54,719
Speaker 6: It may be dark right now, but Lord, I believe

473
00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:56,520
Speaker 6: I've entered into a new day.

474
00:25:56,640 --> 00:25:58,240
Speaker 5: I believe I've passed midnight.

475
00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:01,119
Speaker 6: So I want to thank you that joy is healing

476
00:26:01,240 --> 00:26:04,639
Speaker 6: is coming, the right person is coming, The breakthrough is coming. Lord,

477
00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:08,720
Speaker 6: thank you for your unexpected sunshine. You live like that,

478
00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:12,040
Speaker 6: You're going to see some sudden leaves. Those clouds are

479
00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:15,040
Speaker 6: going to break open. God will amaze you with his goodness.

480
00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:18,720
Speaker 6: This couple I know were at the beach. They were

481
00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:21,360
Speaker 6: in the water, playing in the waves, having a lot

482
00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:24,360
Speaker 6: of fun, and at one point the lady felt her

483
00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:28,520
Speaker 6: expensive diamond necklace slip off of her neck into the water,

484
00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:31,240
Speaker 6: and they were right at the place where the waves

485
00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:34,560
Speaker 6: were breaking. The water was all stirred up like a

486
00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:38,760
Speaker 6: washing machine. She and her husband looked hour and after hour,

487
00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:42,680
Speaker 6: but it was impossible. The water was so turbulent they

488
00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:44,440
Speaker 6: had no chance of finding it.

489
00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:47,360
Speaker 5: And even though she was disappointed.

490
00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:49,040
Speaker 6: That she lost it, she didn't let it steal her

491
00:26:49,119 --> 00:26:53,280
Speaker 6: joy or sour the rest of her vacation. The next morning,

492
00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:56,280
Speaker 6: she went out to the beach very early to enjoy

493
00:26:56,359 --> 00:27:01,720
Speaker 6: the beautiful sunrise. Standing there in the sir thanking God

494
00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:04,600
Speaker 6: for what he had done, not even thinking about her

495
00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:09,119
Speaker 6: necklace under her foot. As the waves retreated, it pulled

496
00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:12,439
Speaker 6: more and more sand out, little by little. In a

497
00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:15,400
Speaker 6: few minutes, she felt something sharp poking her foot.

498
00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:18,480
Speaker 5: She thought it was a rock, a seashell. She looked down.

499
00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:22,920
Speaker 5: It was her diamond necklace. Unexpected sunshine.

500
00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:27,399
Speaker 6: Only God could make that happen. That's like finding a

501
00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:32,600
Speaker 6: needle in the haystack. The good news. God created the haystack.

502
00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:36,520
Speaker 6: He knows where everything is. He tells every grain of

503
00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:40,240
Speaker 6: sand where to go. He controls the sea, he controls

504
00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:43,840
Speaker 6: the clouds. If God can help her find a necklace

505
00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:46,760
Speaker 6: in the ocean, he can bring your dreams to pass.

506
00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:49,320
Speaker 6: He can help you overcome that problem. He has it

507
00:27:49,359 --> 00:27:52,840
Speaker 6: all figured out well, Joel. I don't have the connections.

508
00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:56,720
Speaker 5: That's okay. He does. I don't have the resources. That's

509
00:27:56,760 --> 00:27:57,160
Speaker 5: all right.

510
00:27:57,359 --> 00:28:00,840
Speaker 6: He owns it all well. The medical report says no way.

511
00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:05,040
Speaker 6: God has the final say. He says, yes way. It

512
00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:07,720
Speaker 6: may be cloudy in your life, but I can sense

513
00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:11,120
Speaker 6: in my spirit those clouds are about to open up.

514
00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:12,480
Speaker 5: You need to get ready.

515
00:28:12,680 --> 00:28:15,960
Speaker 6: You are close to a breakthrough. It's going to happen

516
00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:19,920
Speaker 6: sooner than you think. You're about to see some suddenlyaes. Now,

517
00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:23,000
Speaker 6: do your part, let the sun shine into your life.
