I like to start with 12 00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:35,720 Speaker 1: something funny, and I heard about this archaeologist from New York. 13 00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:39,800 Speaker 1: He dug down ten feet and found traces of copper 14 00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:44,159 Speaker 1: wiring dating back one hundred years. He concluded that New 15 00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:47,720 Speaker 1: Yorkers had a telephone network over one hundred years ago. 16 00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:53,080 Speaker 1: Not to be outdone, an archaeologist from California dug down 17 00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:57,280 Speaker 1: twenty feet and found copper wiring dating back two hundred years. 18 00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:02,720 Speaker 1: He concluded that Californians had a massive communication network one 19 00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:07,520 Speaker 1: hundred years before the New Yorkers. Upon hearing this bubba 20 00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:12,440 Speaker 1: from Texas, dug down thirty feet on his farm and 21 00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:17,440 Speaker 1: found absolutely nothing. He concluded, three hundred years ago, Texans 22 00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:23,920 Speaker 1: had already gone wireless. All right, hold up your Bible. 23 00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:26,600 Speaker 1: Say it like you mean it. This is my Bible. 24 00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:29,160 Speaker 1: I am what it says I am. I have what 25 00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:31,600 Speaker 1: it says I have. I can do what it says 26 00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:34,280 Speaker 1: I can do. Today I will be taught the word 27 00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:38,399 Speaker 1: of God. I boldly confess. My mind is alert, my 28 00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:42,759 Speaker 1: heart is receptive. I will never be the same. In Jesus' name, 29 00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:46,680 Speaker 1: God bless you. I want to talk to you today 30 00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:51,720 Speaker 1: about something that you've never seen. I grew up in 31 00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:55,600 Speaker 1: a minister's home, and we always had church and auditoriums 32 00:01:55,640 --> 00:02:00,080 Speaker 1: and traditional sanctuaries. That's what everybody did. But in twowo 33 00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:04,680 Speaker 1: thousand and five, God gave us this beautiful facility. Now 34 00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:09,119 Speaker 1: we have church in a former sports arena. That's something 35 00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:13,880 Speaker 1: that I had never seen. I worked seventeen years behind 36 00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:17,040 Speaker 1: the scenes at the church doing the television production, and 37 00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:20,120 Speaker 1: I thought that's how I would spend my life. But 38 00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:22,640 Speaker 1: when my father went to be with the Lord, I 39 00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:26,639 Speaker 1: was suddenly thrust into this position. Now, instead of being 40 00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:30,040 Speaker 1: behind the cameras, I'm in front of the cameras. That 41 00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:34,720 Speaker 1: was something I had never seen. In two thousand and nine, 42 00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:37,600 Speaker 1: the New York Yankees were about to open their new 43 00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:42,040 Speaker 1: baseball stadium. One of their staff members called and asked 44 00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:44,560 Speaker 1: if we would come and hold a Night of Hope, 45 00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:49,200 Speaker 1: the first non baseball event in the new stadium. Out 46 00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:53,720 Speaker 1: of all the entertainers, musicians, artists in the world, they 47 00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:57,760 Speaker 1: called a minister. That was something I had never seen. 48 00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:01,040 Speaker 1: I want you to get this down in your spirit. 49 00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:05,000 Speaker 1: God is about to do something in your life that 50 00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:11,480 Speaker 1: you've never seen. I'm not just sharing another message. I'm 51 00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:15,360 Speaker 1: speaking prophetically. God is about to take you where you 52 00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:18,240 Speaker 1: could not go on your own. God is about to 53 00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:21,360 Speaker 1: show your favor in ways that you've never imagined. It's 54 00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:25,600 Speaker 1: going to be unprecedented, out of the norm, unlike anything 55 00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:29,800 Speaker 1: that you've seen. Maybe you've struggled in your finances for years, 56 00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:34,440 Speaker 1: can't seem to get ahead one step forward, two steps backwards. No, 57 00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:38,080 Speaker 1: God is about to show you abundance like you've never seen. 58 00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:42,920 Speaker 1: He's about to increase you to where you have overflowed. 59 00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:47,080 Speaker 1: You lend and not borrow, not burdened down by debt 60 00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:51,040 Speaker 1: and lack. Some of you have fought depression, discouragement your 61 00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:54,560 Speaker 1: whole life. That dark cloud follows you around, and you 62 00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:57,120 Speaker 1: think that's the way it's always going to be. No, 63 00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:01,120 Speaker 1: take heart, God is going to show you like you've 64 00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:05,800 Speaker 1: never seen. That spirit of depression discouragement is being broken. 65 00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:09,480 Speaker 1: God is going to release a new happiness, a passion 66 00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:13,960 Speaker 1: that you've not experienced before. Maybe you've struggled with an addiction, 67 00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:18,200 Speaker 1: a bad habit for a long time. Be encouraged. God's 68 00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:21,800 Speaker 1: going to show you freedom that you've never seen. Some 69 00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:25,640 Speaker 1: of you have felt a little insecure, intimidated, like you 70 00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:28,880 Speaker 1: don't quite measure up. You think that's the way you'll 71 00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:32,440 Speaker 1: always live. No, God's about to show you a confidence 72 00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:35,919 Speaker 1: of boldness where you can step into the fullness of 73 00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:41,720 Speaker 1: your destiny. God is saying creativity like you've never seen, promotion, 74 00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:47,279 Speaker 1: opportunity like you've never seen, healing, restoration, favor like you've 75 00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:51,520 Speaker 1: never seen. That's the promise God made in Exodus thirty 76 00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:54,960 Speaker 1: four to ten. I will do great things that I've 77 00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:59,880 Speaker 1: never done before anywhere on earth. We've all seen God' 78 00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:03,039 Speaker 1: goodness in the past. Every one of us can say 79 00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:07,520 Speaker 1: God has blessed us, promoted us, protected us. But What 80 00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:12,479 Speaker 1: God is about to do is going to be unprecedented. Now, 81 00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:15,240 Speaker 1: all you've got to do is say, yes, Lord, this 82 00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:18,440 Speaker 1: is from me today. I'll received this into my spirit. 83 00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:21,240 Speaker 1: See your mind. We'll try to talk you out of it. 84 00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:23,760 Speaker 1: Tell you all the reasons why it's not going to 85 00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:27,920 Speaker 1: happen for you. You're too old, too young, made too 86 00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:31,359 Speaker 1: many mistakes, don't have the education, if you are just 87 00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:35,520 Speaker 1: a different nationality, if you just knew the right people. No, listen, 88 00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:40,320 Speaker 1: God is not limited by your age, your education, your connections, 89 00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:45,400 Speaker 1: your resources. In spite of what you have or don't have. 90 00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:48,520 Speaker 1: You need to get ready. God is about to show 91 00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:51,840 Speaker 1: you something that you've never seen. He's about to take 92 00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:55,480 Speaker 1: you where you could not go on your own. John 93 00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:59,240 Speaker 1: Chapter nine, Jesus was traveling through a village. He saw 94 00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:02,120 Speaker 1: a man on the side of the road that was blind. 95 00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:06,280 Speaker 1: He went over to this man. The man didn't call 96 00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:10,280 Speaker 1: out to Jesus. He wasn't like blind Barnabas that said 97 00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:13,520 Speaker 1: please Jesus have mercy and heal me. This man was 98 00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:17,800 Speaker 1: just quietly sitting there and Jesus went to him. And 99 00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:22,240 Speaker 1: throughout the scripture there are examples where people used their 100 00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:26,160 Speaker 1: faith reached out to God, and they received their miracle. 101 00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:29,400 Speaker 1: The woman with the issue of blood fought her way 102 00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:32,919 Speaker 1: through the crowd, touched the edge of Jesus road. She 103 00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:37,120 Speaker 1: was instantly made whole. The lepers cried out, Jesus, please 104 00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:42,080 Speaker 1: heal us. Jesus healed them. An army captain came and said, Jesus, 105 00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:45,720 Speaker 1: if you'll just speak the word, my little daughter at 106 00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:49,240 Speaker 1: home that's so sick, she'll be healed. Jesus spoke, and 107 00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:54,279 Speaker 1: the daughter was well. These people all initiated their miracle. 108 00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:58,719 Speaker 1: They reached out in faith and saw God's goodness. But 109 00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:02,960 Speaker 1: God is so merciful, He's so loving. There are times 110 00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:06,520 Speaker 1: like with this blind man, even when we don't have 111 00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:10,800 Speaker 1: the faith, Even when we don't reach out, God reaches 112 00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:13,800 Speaker 1: out to us. If it would have just been dependent 113 00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:17,240 Speaker 1: on our faith, on what we believe, on what we're 114 00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:20,560 Speaker 1: asking for, Jesus would have never stopped to help this 115 00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:24,280 Speaker 1: blind man. He didn't show any signs of faith. He 116 00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:28,760 Speaker 1: was just sitting there, minding his own business. Yet Jesus 117 00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:33,040 Speaker 1: went to him. He had been blind since his birth, 118 00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:37,520 Speaker 1: never seen before. This is much different than someone that's 119 00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:41,920 Speaker 1: had sight at one time then becomes blind at least 120 00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:44,240 Speaker 1: they would have a memory of what things look like. 121 00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:49,120 Speaker 1: This man, blind since birth, had never seen a sunset, 122 00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:53,200 Speaker 1: never seen a flower, never seen a person. He had 123 00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:57,240 Speaker 1: nothing to draw upon, having never seen before. And it's 124 00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:01,280 Speaker 1: interesting Jesus didn't say anything to it. He didn't try 125 00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:03,840 Speaker 1: to figure out if he had faith, try to figure 126 00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:07,720 Speaker 1: out what he believed. Jesus simply made mud, put it 127 00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:10,640 Speaker 1: on the blind man's eyes, told him to go wash 128 00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:14,360 Speaker 1: it off in the pool of Salon. Some friends led 129 00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:17,040 Speaker 1: him to the pool. He washed it off, and his 130 00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:21,360 Speaker 1: eyes were instantly open. He could see perfectly clearly, I 131 00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:24,560 Speaker 1: could imagine for the first time, he looked out and 132 00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:28,440 Speaker 1: saw the puffy clouds in the sky. For the first time, 133 00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:31,880 Speaker 1: he looked down and saw a beautiful flower, no doubt. 134 00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:34,920 Speaker 1: He ran home as fast as he could, for the 135 00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:39,679 Speaker 1: first time, saw his children, his wife. That night, he 136 00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:42,880 Speaker 1: looked up into the sky for the first time, saw 137 00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:48,360 Speaker 1: the stars twinkling, the moonlight glimmering off the lake. What happened. 138 00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:52,880 Speaker 1: God showed him something he had never seen. God wants 139 00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:55,600 Speaker 1: to do the same thing for you. Some of you 140 00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:58,439 Speaker 1: think that you've reached your limits, gone as far as 141 00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:02,560 Speaker 1: you can go. Report doesn't look good now you've settled there, 142 00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:05,840 Speaker 1: you've been single a long time. You don't think you'll 143 00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:08,720 Speaker 1: ever meet the right person. Or you took a step 144 00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:13,240 Speaker 1: of faith, but the business, the charity, the project didn't 145 00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:15,959 Speaker 1: make it. Now you don't see how you could accomplish 146 00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:20,120 Speaker 1: your dreams. But like with this man, even when we 147 00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:24,480 Speaker 1: don't have the faith, even when we think it's impossible, Joel, 148 00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:27,120 Speaker 1: it's too late. I tried, I failed. It's never going 149 00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:30,199 Speaker 1: to happen. No, God is going to come looking for 150 00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:34,080 Speaker 1: you and show you his favor like you've never seen. 151 00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:40,240 Speaker 1: God wants to give you some first times. For the 152 00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:44,880 Speaker 1: first time. You're free from pain, healthy, whole, strong, for 153 00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:48,719 Speaker 1: the first time, you have more than enough. You're not struggling. 154 00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:52,720 Speaker 1: You're into overflow for the first time, your whole family 155 00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:55,960 Speaker 1: serving God for the first time. You're living in the 156 00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:59,120 Speaker 1: house of your dreams. For the first time, you're running 157 00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:02,800 Speaker 1: the whole office. You thought you'd always be working for people, 158 00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:05,560 Speaker 1: Now you've got people working for you. You need to 159 00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:08,840 Speaker 1: get ready. God has some first times in your future. 160 00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:12,680 Speaker 1: Part of this shift, God is going to show you 161 00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:16,800 Speaker 1: something that you've never seen before. You may not have 162 00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:20,280 Speaker 1: faith for it. It may seem too far out. That's okay. 163 00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:23,280 Speaker 1: God's going to come looking for you. He's going to 164 00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:26,320 Speaker 1: get you to where you're supposed to be. It's going 165 00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:30,400 Speaker 1: to be bigger than you imagine. It's going to be unprecedented, 166 00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:35,640 Speaker 1: something that you've never seen. That means, if you've seen 167 00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:40,320 Speaker 1: it in the past, that's good, be grateful, always thank 168 00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:43,400 Speaker 1: God for what He's done. But what God is about 169 00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:47,120 Speaker 1: to do is greater than what you've seen it. When 170 00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:51,720 Speaker 1: God gave us this beautiful facility, this was Ephesians three 171 00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:56,920 Speaker 1: twenty exceedingly abundantly above and beyond. This was more than 172 00:10:56,960 --> 00:11:01,120 Speaker 1: I could ever imagine. In fact, I'm still a every 173 00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:04,320 Speaker 1: time I pull up to this facility. I still get 174 00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:07,120 Speaker 1: goosebumps when I go over to my old seats right 175 00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:10,440 Speaker 1: over there where I watch the Rockets play basketball for years. 176 00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:15,000 Speaker 1: But as amazing as this all is, I realize what 177 00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:19,079 Speaker 1: God is about to do is going to supersede anything 178 00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:24,079 Speaker 1: He's done in the past. When God shows you something 179 00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:27,040 Speaker 1: that you've never seen is going to boggle your mind. 180 00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:32,160 Speaker 1: The reason God doesn't just rely on our faith is 181 00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:34,760 Speaker 1: because some of what He's going to show you is 182 00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:39,200 Speaker 1: so far out, so amazing. So rewarding you couldn't have 183 00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:42,520 Speaker 1: faith for it right now, Like this blind man, God 184 00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:46,400 Speaker 1: is so good even when we don't believe, Even when 185 00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:49,320 Speaker 1: we don't have the faith, God will show up and 186 00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:53,800 Speaker 1: do it anyway. Before Jesus healed the blind man, the 187 00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:58,800 Speaker 1: disciples ask Jesus, who's sinned this man or his parents 188 00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:02,160 Speaker 1: that would cause him to be born blind. Jesus said, 189 00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:06,040 Speaker 1: nobody sin He was born this way so the works 190 00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:10,840 Speaker 1: of God could be manifest. In other words, when that 191 00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:16,000 Speaker 1: baby was born, God already knew exactly when he was 192 00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:19,880 Speaker 1: going to heal him. There was a time already set 193 00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:23,920 Speaker 1: by the creator of the universe. At that appointed time, 194 00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:27,160 Speaker 1: God opened his eyes and showed him something that he 195 00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:30,959 Speaker 1: had never seen in your life. Right now, there are 196 00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:36,400 Speaker 1: set times. God has already established the date when he's 197 00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:40,320 Speaker 1: going to do something unprecedented in your life. You don't 198 00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:43,880 Speaker 1: have to worry, you don't have to be discouraged because 199 00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:46,320 Speaker 1: it hasn't happened yet. You don't have to give into 200 00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:48,880 Speaker 1: doubt and thank God, I'm never gonna get well, never 201 00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:52,440 Speaker 1: accomplish a dream, never get married. No, those moments of 202 00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:56,560 Speaker 1: favor are already established in your future. If you'll just 203 00:12:56,640 --> 00:13:01,000 Speaker 1: keep honoring God being your best. You will suddenly come 204 00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:04,200 Speaker 1: into one of your set times. God will do something 205 00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:08,040 Speaker 1: out of the ordinary. You didn't go after it. It came 206 00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:10,640 Speaker 1: to you. You didn't even have the faith for it. 207 00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:13,440 Speaker 1: What you were praying about was only a fraction of 208 00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:17,840 Speaker 1: what God had in mind. One scripture talks about the 209 00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:22,480 Speaker 1: faith of God. Normally we think about our faith and 210 00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:25,440 Speaker 1: how we need to pray big and believe big and 211 00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:27,960 Speaker 1: take the limits off of God. And that's important. We 212 00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:31,800 Speaker 1: should do that. But God has things in your future 213 00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:36,319 Speaker 1: set times that he's already established that are so big, 214 00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:41,040 Speaker 1: so amazing, so rewarding. God knew you couldn't have faith 215 00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:43,600 Speaker 1: for it right now. If you would have told me 216 00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:45,880 Speaker 1: a few years ago that one day I would be 217 00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:48,440 Speaker 1: up in front of people and have the platform that 218 00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:51,440 Speaker 1: I have, I would have said, thank you for believing 219 00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:54,760 Speaker 1: in me. But you've got the wrong person. God knows 220 00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:57,520 Speaker 1: there are things in our future that we won't have 221 00:13:57,559 --> 00:14:01,240 Speaker 1: the faith for. But that doesn't stop God. When you 222 00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:04,480 Speaker 1: run out of faith. There's a secret weapon. It's called 223 00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:08,280 Speaker 1: the faith of God. When God releases his faith, you 224 00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:11,480 Speaker 1: can be certain doors will open that should not have opened. 225 00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:13,680 Speaker 1: Talent will come out of you that you didn't know 226 00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:19,320 Speaker 1: you had. The right people will search you out. Healing, promotion, 227 00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:23,640 Speaker 1: increase will show up in ways like you've never seen before. 228 00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:26,880 Speaker 1: I know some of you think, well, Joel, I don't 229 00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:30,280 Speaker 1: have much faith. That's okay. The faith of God will 230 00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:32,880 Speaker 1: get you to where you're supposed to be. When your 231 00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:36,080 Speaker 1: faith is low, don't worry. You have a friend that 232 00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:39,560 Speaker 1: will never let you down. When you have doubts, don't worry. 233 00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:42,560 Speaker 1: He has faith. When you don't think it's going to happen, 234 00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:45,480 Speaker 1: that's all right. He's got you coupbared. The faith of 235 00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:48,800 Speaker 1: God will make up for your lack of faith. That's 236 00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:51,640 Speaker 1: what the scripture means when it talks about having faith 237 00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:55,480 Speaker 1: the size of a mustard seed. Mustard seed is one 238 00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:58,840 Speaker 1: of the smallest seeds you can find. God was saying, 239 00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:03,240 Speaker 1: even when faith is low, when you're discouraged, when you 240 00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:06,880 Speaker 1: have doubts, God doesn't cancel his plan for your life. 241 00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:09,720 Speaker 1: God doesn't disqualify you and say, come on, man, you 242 00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:12,120 Speaker 1: need to have more faith. No, that's when the faith 243 00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:15,760 Speaker 1: of God kicks in. These moments of favor that have 244 00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:20,560 Speaker 1: already been established in your future. They're not solely dependent 245 00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:23,680 Speaker 1: on your faith. The faith of God is going to 246 00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:27,480 Speaker 1: cause them to show up. You think about Peter. He 247 00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:30,560 Speaker 1: was on the shore by the lake early one morning, 248 00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:34,480 Speaker 1: cleaning his fishing nets and putting away all of his gear. 249 00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:39,200 Speaker 1: He'd been out fishing all night. He wasn't a disciple yet. 250 00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:42,960 Speaker 1: He was a rough man. He used rough language, not 251 00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:46,080 Speaker 1: somebody we would consider to be a person of faith. 252 00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:49,920 Speaker 1: Jesus asked to borrow his boat, and he taught the 253 00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:53,760 Speaker 1: people in the crowds there. Afterwards, Jesus said to Peter, 254 00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:57,080 Speaker 1: go launch out into the deep and you'll catch a 255 00:15:57,160 --> 00:16:00,560 Speaker 1: great number of fish. That's how Jesus was going to 256 00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:04,160 Speaker 1: pay him back for using his boat. But Peter said, Jesus, 257 00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:09,000 Speaker 1: we've been fishing all night. Nothing is biting. Besides, this 258 00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:13,240 Speaker 1: is not the right time to fish. Jesus said, in effect, Peter, 259 00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:17,000 Speaker 1: I control the fish. There may not have been fish 260 00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:19,480 Speaker 1: out there earlier, but I can guarantee you there are 261 00:16:19,480 --> 00:16:24,320 Speaker 1: a fish out there now. Notice Peter didn't have any faith, 262 00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:27,960 Speaker 1: but that didn't stop God. Jesus didn't say, Peter, I'm 263 00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:30,400 Speaker 1: trying to help you, but you're such a doubter now. 264 00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:34,080 Speaker 1: Even though he didn't have faith. Jesus said, that's all right. 265 00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:37,680 Speaker 1: The faith of God will make this happen. When your 266 00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:41,440 Speaker 1: faith is low, when you find it hard to believe, 267 00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:46,080 Speaker 1: when doubts are bombarding your mind, don't worry. God is 268 00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:49,640 Speaker 1: not only full of mercy, he's full of faith. His 269 00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:53,720 Speaker 1: faith will hold you over until your faith can be strengthened. 270 00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:57,360 Speaker 1: Peter got out there and caught so many fish that 271 00:16:57,440 --> 00:17:01,080 Speaker 1: his boat began to sink. God showed him something that 272 00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:03,920 Speaker 1: he had never seen. He had been out fishing on 273 00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:07,240 Speaker 1: that lake for years, many times. He knew when to fish, 274 00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:11,480 Speaker 1: where to fish, what to use. But this day something 275 00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:15,919 Speaker 1: happened that was unprecedented, out of the norm. In the 276 00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:19,119 Speaker 1: same way, you can be going to work, doing the 277 00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:23,879 Speaker 1: same thing, the same way. Everything looks just normal, ordinary, 278 00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:27,840 Speaker 1: But then you come into one of these set times, 279 00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:32,200 Speaker 1: these moments of favor. You weren't expecting it, you didn't 280 00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:34,639 Speaker 1: have the faith for it, you didn't deserve it. But 281 00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:39,640 Speaker 1: like Peter, suddenly a good break, a promotion, a healing 282 00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:44,920 Speaker 1: restoration is more than you could imagine. It's overwhelming. It's 283 00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:49,439 Speaker 1: something you've never seen. That wasn't your faith, that was 284 00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:52,720 Speaker 1: the faith of God. And right now in your future. 285 00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:56,080 Speaker 1: There are these moments of favor that are going to 286 00:17:56,119 --> 00:17:59,159 Speaker 1: catapult you to a new level. Some of you have 287 00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:02,480 Speaker 1: been facing as a long time and you don't really 288 00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:05,520 Speaker 1: know if you have the faith to get well. That's okay. 289 00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:09,320 Speaker 1: God has you covered when you come into this moment 290 00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:14,720 Speaker 1: of favor. Like the blind man, sickness doesn't have a chance. Health, healing, 291 00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:18,960 Speaker 1: wholeness will flood your body. God can do what medicine 292 00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:21,960 Speaker 1: cannot do. You may think that you could never get 293 00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:24,960 Speaker 1: out of debt. You tried, You keep having setbacks. You've 294 00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:28,159 Speaker 1: settled there. That's all right. The faith of God is 295 00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:31,120 Speaker 1: at work in your life. There are moments of favor 296 00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:34,640 Speaker 1: that are going to thrust you into abundance. I read 297 00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:38,040 Speaker 1: about this couple. They had both lost their jobs and 298 00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:41,879 Speaker 1: all kinds of things had come against them, and unfortunately 299 00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:44,880 Speaker 1: they were about to lose their house. They had done 300 00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:47,439 Speaker 1: everything they could to try to get the funds, but 301 00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:51,600 Speaker 1: just hadn't worked out. They started selling off their possessions, 302 00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:54,920 Speaker 1: little here and little there, and they got so desperate 303 00:18:55,119 --> 00:18:59,000 Speaker 1: they decided to sell all of their furniture, everything inside 304 00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:05,200 Speaker 1: and out, patio furniture, lawnmower, washer, dryer, everything, they put 305 00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:09,520 Speaker 1: it on Ebaye had pictures of it all. Somehow word 306 00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:12,479 Speaker 1: got out that the reason they were selling was to 307 00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:15,800 Speaker 1: try to pay their mortgage and save their house. A 308 00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:20,879 Speaker 1: lady in another state bid twenty thousand dollars. Her bid, 309 00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:24,719 Speaker 1: by far, was the high bid. Nothing else even came close. 310 00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:29,480 Speaker 1: They accepted her bid. When they went to make arrangements 311 00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:32,800 Speaker 1: to have the furniture shift, the lady said, I don't 312 00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:36,080 Speaker 1: want your furniture. That's a gift you can have to 313 00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:40,080 Speaker 1: keep your house. They had never met the woman, never 314 00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:44,320 Speaker 1: talked to her, never seen her. That was a moment 315 00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:48,080 Speaker 1: of favor. They didn't have faith for it. That was 316 00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:51,280 Speaker 1: the faith of God saying I'm gonna show you something 317 00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:54,679 Speaker 1: that you've never seen. I'm gonna cau somebody out of 318 00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:57,840 Speaker 1: the blue to be good to you. You may be 319 00:19:57,960 --> 00:20:00,560 Speaker 1: facing situations you don't know how it's gonna turn out, 320 00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:04,200 Speaker 1: how you could accomplish your dreams. That's okay. God has 321 00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:07,639 Speaker 1: it all figured out. He's already lined up the right people, 322 00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:12,800 Speaker 1: the right opportunities, solutions to problems, just like with this couple, 323 00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:15,480 Speaker 1: at the right time, You're going to come into your 324 00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:19,159 Speaker 1: moment of favor and it's going to cause you to overcome, 325 00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:22,600 Speaker 1: cause you to step in to the fullness of your destiny. 326 00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:25,679 Speaker 1: I talked to a gentleman out in the lobby not 327 00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:29,119 Speaker 1: long ago, and he was in town for treatment at M. 328 00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:32,920 Speaker 1: D Anderson, the cancer Hospital, and he had some kind 329 00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:36,919 Speaker 1: of tumor in his stomach area. Gone through chemotherapy, but 330 00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:40,119 Speaker 1: that hadn't helped. Now they were going to try surgery. 331 00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:45,040 Speaker 1: Was very risky, but this was his only option medically speaking. 332 00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:49,720 Speaker 1: His whole family was here, a wife, son, two beautiful daughters, 333 00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:52,680 Speaker 1: and they were weeping as he was telling the story. 334 00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:56,240 Speaker 1: We prayed and asked God to make a way where 335 00:20:56,240 --> 00:20:59,320 Speaker 1: we couldn't see away. He said, Joel, I'm trying to 336 00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:04,320 Speaker 1: have faith, but I'm so worried. I'm so afraid, almost 337 00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:08,560 Speaker 1: like he was apologizing. I told him what I'm telling you. 338 00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:12,680 Speaker 1: When your faith is weak, the faith of God is strong. 339 00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:17,000 Speaker 1: When your faith is low, the faith of God is high. 340 00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:21,439 Speaker 1: You have somebody standing in the gap for you. The 341 00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:24,639 Speaker 1: scripture says, Jesus is at the right hand of the Father, 342 00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:29,040 Speaker 1: constantly praying for us. It's one thing to have me pray, 343 00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:31,760 Speaker 1: a friend pray, a prayer partner pray. That's all great. 344 00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:35,520 Speaker 1: But don't ever forget the Son of God, the one 345 00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:39,240 Speaker 1: who raised from the dead, the one who defeated our enemies, 346 00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:43,399 Speaker 1: the one who speaks worlds into existence. He's praying for 347 00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:47,320 Speaker 1: you right now. This man came back a couple of 348 00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:50,840 Speaker 1: weeks later with his family. When they took the final 349 00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:55,320 Speaker 1: X ray before the surgery, they couldn't find the tumor anymore. 350 00:21:56,119 --> 00:22:01,159 Speaker 1: That surgeon said that in sixteen in years, he had 351 00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:04,439 Speaker 1: never seen anything like that. This man had big tears 352 00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:07,480 Speaker 1: running down his cheeks. He said, Joel, I didn't even 353 00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:11,600 Speaker 1: have faith. My mind was filled with doubts. Yet God 354 00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:15,720 Speaker 1: did the miracle anyway. That's the way our God is. 355 00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:21,200 Speaker 1: He knows we're human. We get discouraged, we have doubts. 356 00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:25,120 Speaker 1: But I've learned you don't have to have great faith 357 00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:28,640 Speaker 1: in order for God to do something great. You can 358 00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:32,320 Speaker 1: have small faith and God will move a mountain. You 359 00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:36,240 Speaker 1: don't have to have strong, invincible, unwavering faith. I hope 360 00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:39,520 Speaker 1: you do. But even if you don't, if you'll just 361 00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:43,560 Speaker 1: keep honoring God, keep being your best, then his faith 362 00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:46,760 Speaker 1: will make up for your lack of faith. That's what 363 00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:50,639 Speaker 1: Paul said in Romans two twenty The Life I live now. 364 00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:54,080 Speaker 1: I live by the faith of the Son of God, 365 00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:59,000 Speaker 1: Paul wrote over half of the New Testament. Overcame incredible odds. 366 00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:01,920 Speaker 1: He will say, and I didn't make it just by 367 00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:05,760 Speaker 1: my own faith, my own strength, my own determination. I 368 00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:10,359 Speaker 1: had a secret weapon. I fulfilled my destiny because of 369 00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:14,040 Speaker 1: the faith of God. You may be facing a situation 370 00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:18,480 Speaker 1: today that looks impossible. Your health, your finances, a relationship. 371 00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:22,680 Speaker 1: All the odds are against you. But be encouraged. The 372 00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:25,840 Speaker 1: faith of God is at work in your life. There 373 00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:30,240 Speaker 1: are moments of favor God has already established in your future. 374 00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:33,440 Speaker 1: God is not only going to bring you out, He's 375 00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:37,760 Speaker 1: going to do something unprecedented, out of the ordinary, something 376 00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:41,760 Speaker 1: that you've never seen. I know this mom. She was 377 00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:44,879 Speaker 1: praying for her son, trying to get him in church 378 00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:48,359 Speaker 1: year after year, but he just wasn't interested. He was 379 00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:51,040 Speaker 1: on the wrong course, running with the wrong crowd, and 380 00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:55,440 Speaker 1: started selling drugs. It seemed like the more she prayed, 381 00:23:55,480 --> 00:23:58,720 Speaker 1: the worse he got, and the more discouraged she became. 382 00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:03,520 Speaker 1: He ended up up in jail. This mom was so heartbroken. 383 00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:08,120 Speaker 1: These thoughts bombarded our mind saying, no use praying, It's 384 00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:11,240 Speaker 1: too late. Your prayers aren't doing any good. She was 385 00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:15,520 Speaker 1: so discouraged that she found it hard to pray. But 386 00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:19,000 Speaker 1: even when we don't believe, even when we're at tempted 387 00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:22,280 Speaker 1: to give up, the good news is God doesn't give up. 388 00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:26,960 Speaker 1: That's when his faith kicks in. One Sunday morning, her 389 00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:31,280 Speaker 1: son in the jail was watching television in this common area. 390 00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:35,280 Speaker 1: Another inmate came in and they began to argue over 391 00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:38,800 Speaker 1: what they were going to watch. They started wrestling over 392 00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:41,720 Speaker 1: the remote control, trying to get it away from each other. 393 00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:45,840 Speaker 1: About that time, this huge inmate walked in, stood about 394 00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:50,320 Speaker 1: six foot six, had huge muscles bulging out of his shirt, 395 00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:54,199 Speaker 1: looked like a professional football player. Walked over, grabbed the 396 00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:56,960 Speaker 1: remote control, said give me that thing. I'll decide what 397 00:24:57,040 --> 00:25:00,520 Speaker 1: we're going to watch. Started flipping through the channel and 398 00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:03,640 Speaker 1: he came across our program and stopped. He said, we're 399 00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:09,399 Speaker 1: gonna watch Joel Well her her son. He turned around 400 00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:11,840 Speaker 1: to walk out of the room. He thought, I'm not 401 00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:15,200 Speaker 1: gonna watch some TV preacher. He's already mad. This big 402 00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:18,960 Speaker 1: inmate grabbed him by the shirt, pulled him down, said 403 00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:23,160 Speaker 1: sit down, you're gonna watch with me. I like that guy. 404 00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:30,040 Speaker 1: He'd make a good usher. They started, I'm only kid 405 00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:34,600 Speaker 1: ushers don't get any ideas they started watching the program. 406 00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:38,119 Speaker 1: This young man begin to feel God's love presence like 407 00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:41,720 Speaker 1: never before. He started weeping right there in the jail. 408 00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:45,199 Speaker 1: That big inmate led that young man to Christ. Do 409 00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:48,520 Speaker 1: you know that young man is at our services all 410 00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:49,080 Speaker 1: the time? 411 00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:49,400 Speaker 2: Now? 412 00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:53,520 Speaker 1: Sitting next to his mother, God did something that she 413 00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:58,280 Speaker 1: had never seen. He walked in to one of those 414 00:25:58,359 --> 00:26:01,680 Speaker 1: moments of favor God had already destined for his life 415 00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:05,320 Speaker 1: for the first time. Now her son is in church. 416 00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:09,640 Speaker 1: My message for us today is get ready. God has 417 00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:14,040 Speaker 1: some first times for you.
