Speaker 4: I promise you we'll make you feel right at home.

47
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 4: I like to start with something funny. And I heard

48
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:16,400
Speaker 4: about this lady every day she saw this little old

49
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 4: man sitting on his front porch, rocking in his rocking chair.

50
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:23,720
Speaker 4: He always seemed to be so happy. One day, she

51
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:26,560
Speaker 4: got in her nerve up and went over to him, said, sir,

52
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:30,520
Speaker 4: I can't help but notice you're always smiling, always in

53
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:33,919
Speaker 4: a good mood. Please tell me what is your secret

54
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:37,680
Speaker 4: for such a long happy life? He said, that's easy.

55
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:41,120
Speaker 4: I smoked three packs of cigarettes a day. I eat

56
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:44,840
Speaker 4: nothing but junk food, and I never exercised. She said,

57
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:48,320
Speaker 4: that's amazing. How old are you he said, twenty six.

58
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:53,440
Speaker 4: Don't live like that. Here we go. This is my Bible.

59
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:56,320
Speaker 4: I am what it says I am. I have what

60
00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:58,880
Speaker 4: it says I have. I can do what it says

61
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:01,480
Speaker 4: I can do to they. I will be taught the

62
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:05,560
Speaker 4: word of God. I boldly confess. My mind is alert,

63
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:09,000
Speaker 4: my heart is receptive. I will never be the same.

64
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:13,720
Speaker 4: In Jesus' name, God bless you. I want to talk

65
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:17,520
Speaker 4: to you today about your wings are coming. We all

66
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:21,280
Speaker 4: face situations that look like they'll never change in our

67
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:25,119
Speaker 4: career seems like we've reached our limits. We have much

68
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:28,720
Speaker 4: bigger things in our heart. We know what God has promised,

69
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:32,120
Speaker 4: but when we look at the circumstances, it says we're stuck.

70
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:35,200
Speaker 4: When we look at the medical report, look at the

71
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:39,280
Speaker 4: bank account, there's no sign of things improving. But the

72
00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:43,800
Speaker 4: scripture says the things we see are temporary, but the

73
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:48,120
Speaker 4: things we can't see are eternal. Don't be discouraged by

74
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:52,360
Speaker 4: what you see. It's not permanent. One translation says, the

75
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:56,800
Speaker 4: things we see are subject to change. Your child may

76
00:03:56,840 --> 00:04:00,560
Speaker 4: be off course, but he's subject to change. Your health

77
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:04,200
Speaker 4: may not look good. It's subject to change. Your dream

78
00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:08,680
Speaker 4: may seem impossible. That's subject to change. When thoughts tell

79
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:12,080
Speaker 4: you that it's permanent, you'll never get well, never meet

80
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:15,960
Speaker 4: the right person. Instead of being discouraged, turn it around.

81
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:19,800
Speaker 4: Yes it may look that way, but I know a secret.

82
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:23,600
Speaker 4: It is subject to change. You can't be moved by

83
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:26,080
Speaker 4: what you see. You have to be moved by what

84
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:29,880
Speaker 4: you know. God is on the throne, He's working behind

85
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 4: the scenes. What he promised is on the way. When

86
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 4: a caterpillar is crawling on the ground, barely moving, I

87
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:41,960
Speaker 4: can imagine he looks up and sees a beautiful butterfly

88
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 4: flying through the air. The more he watches, the more

89
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:49,559
Speaker 4: depressed he gets. Think it is not fair. Why can't

90
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:53,760
Speaker 4: I fly? I'll always be grounded. When he looks at

91
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:58,039
Speaker 4: his circumstances, there's nothing about them that says he will

92
00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:01,880
Speaker 4: ever fly, no sign of him ever getting off the ground.

93
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:05,800
Speaker 4: If an expert examined him, he would give him no

94
00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:09,680
Speaker 4: chance of taking flight. He has no wings. If you

95
00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:13,080
Speaker 4: put him up next to a dozen other worms, none

96
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:16,880
Speaker 4: of them have ever flown. But there's something different about

97
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:21,440
Speaker 4: the caterpillar. In its DNA, It's been programmed at a

98
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:26,480
Speaker 4: certain time to develop wings. Even though it seems impossible,

99
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:30,200
Speaker 4: even though every thought says it will never fly. One

100
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:34,720
Speaker 4: day it does the impossible. It transforms into a beautiful

101
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:39,279
Speaker 4: butterfly that can soar through the air. All that time

102
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:42,640
Speaker 4: he thought he was stuck on the ground, he didn't

103
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:48,680
Speaker 4: realize it wasn't permanent. His wings were coming like that caterpillar.

104
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:53,240
Speaker 4: All your circumstances may say you'll never fly. You don't

105
00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:57,360
Speaker 4: have the training, the experience. You come from the wrong family.

106
00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:02,000
Speaker 4: Thoughts will tell you you'll always be grounded. You'll always

107
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:05,880
Speaker 4: struggle in your finances. Always be addicted. No, get ready,

108
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:10,400
Speaker 4: your wings are coming. Where you are is not permanent.

109
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:14,240
Speaker 4: God did not create you to crawl, to go through

110
00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:18,960
Speaker 4: life lonely, addicted, struggling. He didn't make you in his

111
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:23,120
Speaker 4: own image, breathe life into you, crown you with fever

112
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:27,360
Speaker 4: so you could barely get by. He created you to soar,

113
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:32,760
Speaker 4: to take new ground, to go further than you thought possible. Now,

114
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:36,640
Speaker 4: quit being discouraged by what you see. What you see

115
00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:39,760
Speaker 4: is subject to change. You don't know what God is

116
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:43,120
Speaker 4: up to. You don't know what he's doing behind the scenes.

117
00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:47,080
Speaker 4: But it would be different if a caterpillar was born

118
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:51,160
Speaker 4: with wings that didn't work, and eventually they were activated.

119
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:54,560
Speaker 4: Be much easier to believe that it could fly if

120
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:58,279
Speaker 4: the wings were already in place. But I believe one

121
00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:02,839
Speaker 4: reason God made the cat pillar a worm without wings

122
00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:06,440
Speaker 4: that crawls on the ground. That's the least likely one

123
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:10,840
Speaker 4: to fly. What's to encourage us that when it seems

124
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:14,920
Speaker 4: the least likely for you to fly, when circumstances say

125
00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:18,520
Speaker 4: there's no way you'll get wend, no way you'll accomplish

126
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:22,800
Speaker 4: your dream, you can remember the caterpillar if it went

127
00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:26,360
Speaker 4: from being grounded with no wings to be in a

128
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:30,679
Speaker 4: beautiful butterfly that can soar through the air. Then God

129
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:35,040
Speaker 4: can change what looks impossible to you. Now you may

130
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:39,960
Speaker 4: be in the caterpillar stage, not making much progress. Things

131
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:44,400
Speaker 4: don't look promising. God is saying, don't worry. Your wings

132
00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:48,560
Speaker 4: are coming, your healing is coming, your promotion is coming,

133
00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:53,200
Speaker 4: your breakthrough is coming. You're not going to just get ahead.

134
00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:55,680
Speaker 4: You're not going to just have a little bump. You're

135
00:07:55,720 --> 00:08:01,200
Speaker 4: going to see supernatural opportunities, supernatural increase, things that you

136
00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:06,400
Speaker 4: couldn't make happen. When a caterpillar transforms into a butterfly

137
00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:11,160
Speaker 4: gets its wings, it doesn't just have the ability to

138
00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:15,840
Speaker 4: crawl faster just be better at what it could already do.

139
00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:20,720
Speaker 4: It comes into a whole new dimension from crawling to flying.

140
00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:24,280
Speaker 4: When you get your wings, you're not going to just

141
00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:27,400
Speaker 4: be better at what you can do right now. God

142
00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:31,040
Speaker 4: is going to catapult you into a new dimension, into

143
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:35,640
Speaker 4: favor that you haven't seen acceleration. Things are going to

144
00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:39,000
Speaker 4: happen sooner than you thought. Should have taken you thirty

145
00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:42,600
Speaker 4: years to work your way into management, but suddenly you

146
00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:46,520
Speaker 4: were promoted. What happened You got your wings. Should have

147
00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:49,480
Speaker 4: taken you a lifetime to pay your house off, but

148
00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:52,320
Speaker 4: you did it in a fraction of the time. What

149
00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:56,400
Speaker 4: happened You went from crawling to flying. You got your wings.

150
00:08:56,679 --> 00:09:00,840
Speaker 4: That's the hand of God thrusting you ahead. That's what

151
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:03,839
Speaker 4: happened to us here at Lakewood. We were doing great

152
00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:08,319
Speaker 4: at the other location, we were blessed growing, but when

153
00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:12,679
Speaker 4: we moved into the Compact Center, things exploded. We didn't

154
00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:14,760
Speaker 4: just go to a new level, we went to a

155
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:18,320
Speaker 4: new dimension. We got our wings. This put us fifty

156
00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:22,120
Speaker 4: years down the road. What am I saying? Your idea

157
00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:26,319
Speaker 4: of flying and God's idea of flying are totally different.

158
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:29,840
Speaker 4: You think you're doing good, wait till you get your wings.

159
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:35,000
Speaker 4: You haven't seen, heard, or imagined what God has in store.

160
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:38,760
Speaker 4: He's going to open doors you never dreamed would open.

161
00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:44,000
Speaker 4: He's going to bring strategic people, divine connections that will

162
00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:47,160
Speaker 4: use their influence to push you ahead. You're going to

163
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:51,600
Speaker 4: discover gifts, talents, creativity that you didn't know you had.

164
00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:54,520
Speaker 4: Where you think, where did this come from? You got

165
00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:58,160
Speaker 4: your wings. That's God taking your places that you could

166
00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:01,960
Speaker 4: never go on your own. In One Kings, chapter eighteen,

167
00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:06,000
Speaker 4: the people of Sameriam were in a great drought, hadn't

168
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:09,400
Speaker 4: rained for three years, crops had dried up, people were

169
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:13,520
Speaker 4: barely making it. The prophet Elijah showed up and said

170
00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:17,559
Speaker 4: to King Ahab, I hear the sound of the abundance

171
00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:21,560
Speaker 4: of rain. When he said that, there wasn't a cloud

172
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:25,600
Speaker 4: in the sky, there was no sign of rain. Yet

173
00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:28,920
Speaker 4: he chose to believe what he heard in his spirit

174
00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:34,000
Speaker 4: over what he saw with his eyes. He saw drought, famine,

175
00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:38,040
Speaker 4: crops dried up, but he heard an abundance of rain.

176
00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:42,760
Speaker 4: Are you believing what you're seeing or what you're hearing?

177
00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:48,160
Speaker 4: What you see maybe lack struggle, caterpillar on the ground,

178
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:54,240
Speaker 4: But what God is speaking to your spirit is abundance, healing, breakthroughs,

179
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:58,520
Speaker 4: new levels. What you're hearing is more powerful than what

180
00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:02,640
Speaker 4: you're seeing. What you see is temporary, what you hear

181
00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:06,280
Speaker 4: is eternal. But if you stay focused on the drought

182
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:09,480
Speaker 4: and how big the problem is, how it's never going

183
00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:14,320
Speaker 4: to change, that's going to keep you in a caterpillar mode.

184
00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:18,520
Speaker 4: The scripture says we are transformed by the renewing of

185
00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:23,600
Speaker 4: our mind. That word transformed is the same word used

186
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:28,720
Speaker 4: for when a caterpillar metamorphoses into a butterfly. You have

187
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:32,280
Speaker 4: to get your mind going in the right direction. You

188
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:36,959
Speaker 4: can't think caterpillar thoughts and live a butterfly life. If

189
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:40,080
Speaker 4: you think, Joel, I'll never get well. I can't get ahead.

190
00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:43,880
Speaker 4: I've reached my limits. Your own thinking will keep your

191
00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:48,760
Speaker 4: wings from developing. You have to do like Elijah. Everywhere

192
00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:53,240
Speaker 4: he looked he saw drought, but in his spirit he

193
00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:58,320
Speaker 4: heard abundance. He chose to believe what God said over

194
00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:02,120
Speaker 4: what he saw. He went on top of Mount Carmel

195
00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:05,520
Speaker 4: to pray. He told his assistant to go look on

196
00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:08,319
Speaker 4: the other side of the mountain to see if there

197
00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:11,560
Speaker 4: was any sign of rain. The young man went out,

198
00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:15,079
Speaker 4: came back said, no, there's not a cloud in the sky.

199
00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:19,600
Speaker 4: Elijah could have been discouraged, thought I must have heard

200
00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:23,640
Speaker 4: God wrong. But he understood this principle that what he

201
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:28,360
Speaker 4: saw was subject to change, and instead of accepting that

202
00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:31,160
Speaker 4: it was never going to happen, he told the young

203
00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:36,160
Speaker 4: man to go back and look again and again and again.

204
00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:40,040
Speaker 4: It takes faith to keep looking. You have to be

205
00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:45,600
Speaker 4: more confident in what God said than in what you see.

206
00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:49,040
Speaker 4: What you see may be a caterpillar, no chance it

207
00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:52,640
Speaker 4: could fly, you'd be wasting your time thinking that worm

208
00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:56,240
Speaker 4: could get off the ground. For some people that would

209
00:12:56,280 --> 00:13:00,480
Speaker 4: seem foolish. But faith is not always going to make sense.

210
00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:05,359
Speaker 4: What God promises you is not always going to be logical.

211
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:08,800
Speaker 4: There will be a battle taking place in your mind

212
00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:13,360
Speaker 4: between what you see and what you hear. I hear

213
00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:17,760
Speaker 4: I'm a butterfly, I'm created to soar. I'm destined to

214
00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:21,800
Speaker 4: do great things. Then that other voice will wear your wings.

215
00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:24,640
Speaker 4: How come you're still on the ground. How come it's

216
00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:29,000
Speaker 4: taken so long? You're right where Elijah was. God, you

217
00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:33,400
Speaker 4: said an abundance of rain, But I don't see a

218
00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:37,400
Speaker 4: cloud in the sky. God, if it's you, at least

219
00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:40,400
Speaker 4: give me some drizzle. At least let the weather man

220
00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:44,320
Speaker 4: say ten percent chance of rain. Sometimes there will be

221
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:47,720
Speaker 4: no sign that is going to happen. That's when you

222
00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:51,000
Speaker 4: have to dig down deep and say, God, my mind

223
00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:55,080
Speaker 4: says I'm crazy. People say I'm far out, but I

224
00:13:55,160 --> 00:14:00,439
Speaker 4: still believe what you promised is on the way. Said

225
00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:03,800
Speaker 4: you would restore health back into me. I don't see

226
00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:06,959
Speaker 4: any sign of it, but I choose to believe healing

227
00:14:07,080 --> 00:14:10,680
Speaker 4: is coming. God. You said, as for me and my house,

228
00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:13,880
Speaker 4: we will serve the Lord. My child is off course,

229
00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:16,480
Speaker 4: but I'm not moved by what I see. I know

230
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:20,600
Speaker 4: you have the final saying. God, you said I would

231
00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:24,440
Speaker 4: leave an inheritance to my children's children. I don't see

232
00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:27,880
Speaker 4: how it can happen. God, I'm struggling to make ends meet,

233
00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:31,600
Speaker 4: but I believe my wings are coming. In my spirit.

234
00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:35,400
Speaker 4: I hear abundance, I hear increase. I hear lynd and

235
00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:40,200
Speaker 4: not borrow. The seventh time the young man came back.

236
00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:44,200
Speaker 4: He said to Elijah, this time I saw a small

237
00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:47,840
Speaker 4: cloud in the sky, about the size of a man's hand.

238
00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:51,800
Speaker 4: Elijah sent word to Ahab, said you better take off

239
00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:54,359
Speaker 4: to the next city. There's about to be a downpour.

240
00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:59,120
Speaker 4: All he saw was a small cloud. But Elijah was

241
00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:02,840
Speaker 4: so full of faith, so full of expectancy, he knew

242
00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:06,120
Speaker 4: that little cloud was about to turn into big rain.

243
00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:09,680
Speaker 4: It wasn't long before the three year drought came to

244
00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:15,080
Speaker 4: an end. What you see may seem small compared to

245
00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:19,160
Speaker 4: what God promised you. It's easy to dismiss it, think

246
00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:22,040
Speaker 4: that it's nothing. But God knows how to take a

247
00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:26,080
Speaker 4: small cloud and bring a big blessing. He knows how

248
00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:29,760
Speaker 4: to take something that looks insignificant and calls it to

249
00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:34,840
Speaker 4: multiply and turn into something amazing. But I wonder if

250
00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:37,920
Speaker 4: Elijah would have ever seen the rain, if he had

251
00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:41,400
Speaker 4: not kept looking, if he would have gotten discouraged after

252
00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:44,760
Speaker 4: the second time, or the fifth time, or the sixth time,

253
00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:49,200
Speaker 4: maybe the cloud would have never formed. Maybe God was

254
00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:53,720
Speaker 4: seeing how bad he wanted it. Maybe the clear skies

255
00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:58,600
Speaker 4: and no clouds were all a test God wanted to know, Elijah,

256
00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:02,040
Speaker 4: are you going to believe what I'm saying over what

257
00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:05,000
Speaker 4: you're seeing. Are you going to believe your wings are

258
00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:08,760
Speaker 4: still coming while you're crawling on the ground while there's

259
00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:12,040
Speaker 4: no sign of it, or you're going to let circumstances

260
00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:15,720
Speaker 4: talk you out of it. Part of this test is

261
00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:20,200
Speaker 4: sometimes the situation will get worse before it gets better.

262
00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:24,800
Speaker 4: Elijah was doing all the right things in the face

263
00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:28,520
Speaker 4: of the drought, the odds against him. He declared the

264
00:16:28,600 --> 00:16:32,280
Speaker 4: ahab what God promised, the abundance of rain was coming.

265
00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:35,800
Speaker 4: He went on the mountain and prayed. He thanks God

266
00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:40,320
Speaker 4: in advance. He looked for it, but nothing changed, no clouds,

267
00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:44,440
Speaker 4: no rain. Here. He was doing everything he was supposed

268
00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:48,280
Speaker 4: to be doing, but the drought got worse. If you

269
00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:52,600
Speaker 4: will pass this test of things getting worse while you're

270
00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:55,600
Speaker 4: doing the right thing, that like him, you will come

271
00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:59,560
Speaker 4: into abundance. You will see what God promised. The getting

272
00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:03,720
Speaker 4: worse is a sign that the breakthrough is coming. Even

273
00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:07,840
Speaker 4: with the caterpillar, before it gets its wings, the caterpillar

274
00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:12,960
Speaker 4: goes into a cocoon. That's where it transforms. In the cocoon,

275
00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:18,000
Speaker 4: it's dark, it's uncomfortable. He can't move. At least when

276
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:21,760
Speaker 4: he was a caterpillar, he could crawl around, couldn't go fast,

277
00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:26,240
Speaker 4: but he could move. Now he's totally restricted. I'm sure

278
00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:30,359
Speaker 4: he thinks, what's happening to me? I was believing for wings.

279
00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:34,480
Speaker 4: I was hoping to fly. Now I have no mobility.

280
00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:38,520
Speaker 4: It's worse than ever. But in a little while, after

281
00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:43,479
Speaker 4: that dark season, after that uncomfortable time, he comes out

282
00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:47,000
Speaker 4: of the cocoon, not the same, but with its wings.

283
00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:51,439
Speaker 4: Now it's a butterfly. Now you may be in the

284
00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:55,840
Speaker 4: cocoon today you feel like you're going backwards. You're believing

285
00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:58,960
Speaker 4: to get better, to take new ground, but it's gone

286
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:02,159
Speaker 4: the other way. It's all a part of the process.

287
00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:05,800
Speaker 4: That's a sign that your wings are coming. That's a

288
00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:10,280
Speaker 4: sign that the clouds are starting to form. Don't get discouraged.

289
00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:13,000
Speaker 4: You're about to come in to who you were created

290
00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:17,680
Speaker 4: to be. That time in the cocoon, that uncomfortable season,

291
00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:20,840
Speaker 4: when you were doing the right thing and the wrong

292
00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:25,280
Speaker 4: thing was happening. It wasn't a mistake, it wasn't bad luck.

293
00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:28,639
Speaker 4: It was a test. God has you in the palm

294
00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:33,000
Speaker 4: of his hand. Nothing can happen without his permission. And

295
00:18:33,080 --> 00:18:36,679
Speaker 4: because you stayed in faith, because you kept looking for

296
00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:41,240
Speaker 4: the cloud, because you kept declaring, abundance is coming, You're

297
00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:45,120
Speaker 4: going to come out with your wings. No more crawling,

298
00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:53,920
Speaker 4: no more barely getting by, living mediocre, struggling with addictions, depression, dysfunction.

299
00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:57,439
Speaker 4: This is a new day. If the enemy would have

300
00:18:57,520 --> 00:18:59,960
Speaker 4: known what was going to happen, he would have left

301
00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:04,679
Speaker 4: you alone. He took you into that difficulty thinking he

302
00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:08,000
Speaker 4: was going to stop you. He didn't realize it was

303
00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:12,560
Speaker 4: the cocoon. God was using it to transform you. He

304
00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:16,240
Speaker 4: meant it for harm. God turned it to your advantage.

305
00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:19,720
Speaker 4: You came out with your wings. Now you can soar,

306
00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:23,719
Speaker 4: Now you can take new ground. Now, abundance is in

307
00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:27,720
Speaker 4: your future. December of two thousand and two, the Houston

308
00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:31,320
Speaker 4: City Council voted for us to have the Compact Center.

309
00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:34,399
Speaker 4: We were so excited. We had worked a year and

310
00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:37,440
Speaker 4: a half trying to convince the council members this was

311
00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:40,520
Speaker 4: a dream come true. A few weeks later, I was

312
00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:44,199
Speaker 4: in another city. My brother in law, Kevin, called and

313
00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:47,399
Speaker 4: said the company that owns all the property around the

314
00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:51,680
Speaker 4: Compact Center had just filed a federal lawsuit to try

315
00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:54,400
Speaker 4: to keep us from moving in. They said we would

316
00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:58,359
Speaker 4: violate the deed restrictions. They were a huge company, one

317
00:19:58,440 --> 00:20:01,800
Speaker 4: of the biggest taxpayers in Texas. We met with our

318
00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:06,400
Speaker 4: attorneys and they weren't very encouraging. They said we might

319
00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:10,760
Speaker 4: possibly win the lawsuit, but even if we did, it

320
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:13,280
Speaker 4: could be tied up in the courts for ten years.

321
00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:17,560
Speaker 4: Month after month went by, nothing was happening. They weren't

322
00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:20,800
Speaker 4: going to budge. I had to do what I'm asking

323
00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:23,760
Speaker 4: you to do. I said, God, I'm not going to

324
00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:26,920
Speaker 4: be moved by what I see. What I see is

325
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:30,680
Speaker 4: a stalemate, what I see is Goliath. What I see

326
00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:34,639
Speaker 4: is a lengthy legal battle. It looked like we could

327
00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:39,000
Speaker 4: always be grounded, like that setback would be permanent. But

328
00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:42,800
Speaker 4: I knew this secret it was subject to change. That

329
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:46,520
Speaker 4: people don't have the final say. God has the final say.

330
00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:50,840
Speaker 4: Instead of talking about how bad it was, how it

331
00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:54,320
Speaker 4: would never work out, I'd go around saying, Father, thank

332
00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:57,240
Speaker 4: you that you being for us is more than the

333
00:20:57,280 --> 00:21:00,680
Speaker 4: world being against us. Thank you that you are fighting battles.

334
00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:06,320
Speaker 4: About eight months in we received word that the CEO

335
00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:09,880
Speaker 4: of this large company wanted to fly down and meet

336
00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:12,879
Speaker 4: with us. Our attorneys told us not to get our

337
00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:16,800
Speaker 4: hopes up, that it was probably a ploy, a negotiating

338
00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:20,600
Speaker 4: tactic to try to pressure us and intimidate us. They

339
00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:24,119
Speaker 4: expected the worst, but deep down I believed it was

340
00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:27,199
Speaker 4: the hand of God. We had had no contact with

341
00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:31,160
Speaker 4: them except through the courts. The CEO walked in the room.

342
00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:34,240
Speaker 4: The first thing he said was, Joel, I watch you

343
00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:38,639
Speaker 4: every week on television, and my son in law is

344
00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:42,040
Speaker 4: a youth pastor. God knows how to put the right

345
00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:45,200
Speaker 4: people in your path. By the end of that day,

346
00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:49,800
Speaker 4: they had not only agreed to drop the lawsuit and

347
00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:52,720
Speaker 4: let us have the building, but to lease us eight

348
00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:57,720
Speaker 4: thousand covered parking spaces that surround this building. We thought

349
00:21:57,760 --> 00:22:01,359
Speaker 4: we were stuck, but we got our weeding. It could

350
00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:04,199
Speaker 4: have taken years. God did it in a fraction of

351
00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:09,360
Speaker 4: the time. What you're up against may look bigger, stronger.

352
00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:12,840
Speaker 4: The odds are against you, don't worry. The most time,

353
00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:16,679
Speaker 4: God is for you. He knows how to defeat giants.

354
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:20,520
Speaker 4: He knows how to turn things around. No person can

355
00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:25,480
Speaker 4: stand against him. No sickness, no addiction, no obstacle. What's

356
00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:29,320
Speaker 4: trying to stop you is not permanent. The God who

357
00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:33,520
Speaker 4: created the universe is breathing in your direction right now,

358
00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:37,679
Speaker 4: pushing back forces of darkness, making your crooked places straight,

359
00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:41,760
Speaker 4: changing people's minds in your favor. Not only are you

360
00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:44,640
Speaker 4: going to come out, but in the process, you're going

361
00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:47,680
Speaker 4: to get your wings. You're going to rise to heights

362
00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:52,160
Speaker 4: that you never thought possible. In the scripture, God promised

363
00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:55,199
Speaker 4: Abraham and Sarah that they were going to have a baby,

364
00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:58,840
Speaker 4: but they were both way too old. Even though it

365
00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:02,920
Speaker 4: seemed impossible, they believe for a while, but years went

366
00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:06,639
Speaker 4: by and no sign of a child. Sarah finally told

367
00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:11,240
Speaker 4: Abraham to sleep with her maid. Her attitude was I'll

368
00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:15,639
Speaker 4: never get my wings. I'll always be grounded. She thought

369
00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:19,000
Speaker 4: somebody else would have to fly for her, that she

370
00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:21,880
Speaker 4: would have to ride piggybacks so to speak, they would

371
00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:26,240
Speaker 4: have the baby. But you never see a butterfly flying

372
00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:30,520
Speaker 4: around with a caterpillar on his back. The promise God

373
00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:35,119
Speaker 4: put in you is not going to come through somebody else. Yes,

374
00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:38,800
Speaker 4: sometimes people lift us, sometimes they do us a favor,

375
00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:43,280
Speaker 4: but God didn't create you to be dependent on others

376
00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:46,800
Speaker 4: to fulfill your destiny. You are not going to have

377
00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:51,560
Speaker 4: to ride piggyback. Your wings are coming. There is greatness

378
00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:56,720
Speaker 4: in you. You have gifts, talents, businesses, babies in you.

379
00:23:57,640 --> 00:24:01,800
Speaker 4: Abraham had a baby with Sarah's maid, but that was

380
00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:04,800
Speaker 4: not the promised child. And when it looked like there

381
00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:09,159
Speaker 4: was no way, against all odds, at eighty years of age,

382
00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:13,280
Speaker 4: Sarah gave birth to a son, the promised child. What

383
00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:16,200
Speaker 4: God put in your heart is still on the way.

384
00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:21,720
Speaker 4: Maybe the reason it seems so unlikely is, like Sarah,

385
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:24,840
Speaker 4: you don't have your wings yet. When you're in the

386
00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:28,240
Speaker 4: caterpillar stage, it's easy to talk to yourself out of it.

387
00:24:28,480 --> 00:24:31,719
Speaker 4: The way to stay in faith is keep reminding yourself,

388
00:24:32,119 --> 00:24:36,040
Speaker 4: my wings are coming. When Sarah heard the promise that

389
00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:38,600
Speaker 4: she was going to have a baby, the first thing

390
00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:42,200
Speaker 4: she did was laugh. She thought, that's so far out.

391
00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:46,399
Speaker 4: It's funny because she couldn't comprehend it. She found the

392
00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:49,240
Speaker 4: maid to try to make it happen. Here's the key.

393
00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:54,040
Speaker 4: Don't reduce what God promised you to fit your faith.

394
00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:57,400
Speaker 4: Don't bring it down to your level and go find

395
00:24:57,440 --> 00:25:01,000
Speaker 4: the maid. Come up to his level. Don't be limited

396
00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:04,240
Speaker 4: by your faith. Stretch your faith. If you could do

397
00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:07,760
Speaker 4: it on your own, you would need wings. If you

398
00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:11,359
Speaker 4: could accomplish your dreams by yourself, it wouldn't take faith.

399
00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:14,840
Speaker 4: And what God has in your future is so big,

400
00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:20,199
Speaker 4: so amazing. It's going to be intimidating. While you're excited.

401
00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:23,440
Speaker 4: At the same time, you'll be tempted to shrink back

402
00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:27,120
Speaker 4: and think, there's no way that's never happened in my family.

403
00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:30,359
Speaker 4: God wouldn't have given it to you if he didn't

404
00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:32,800
Speaker 4: have a way to bring it to pass. He is

405
00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:35,760
Speaker 4: not asking you to figure it out. He's asking you

406
00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:41,000
Speaker 4: to believe. When you believe supernatural doors can open, when

407
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:44,080
Speaker 4: you believe God can make things happen that you could

408
00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:47,520
Speaker 4: never make happen. But the mistake we make too often

409
00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:51,720
Speaker 4: is we reduce what God promised us to what we

410
00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:55,240
Speaker 4: think is possible. A young couple came down for prayer

411
00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:58,679
Speaker 4: one time they said, Joel, will you pray that this

412
00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:01,920
Speaker 4: furniture we really want to buy will go on sell

413
00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:05,520
Speaker 4: so we can afford it. And there's nothing wrong with

414
00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:09,440
Speaker 4: being frugal. I'm all for getting good deals. But God

415
00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:13,120
Speaker 4: is not dependent on what somebody else does to bring

416
00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:16,720
Speaker 4: your dream to pass. He's not hoping they give you

417
00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:20,159
Speaker 4: a good break so that promise will be fulfilled. Now,

418
00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:22,120
Speaker 4: I told them it's great if it goes on sell,

419
00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:25,639
Speaker 4: but I would rather pray that God will give you

420
00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:30,520
Speaker 4: the funds to purchase it, even if it doesn't. Sometimes

421
00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:33,879
Speaker 4: we're praying for things to come down when we should

422
00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:37,600
Speaker 4: be praying for us to go up. The same God

423
00:26:38,560 --> 00:26:41,639
Speaker 4: that can cause it to go on sell can bless

424
00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:46,400
Speaker 4: you with such abundance that it doesn't matter if it doesn't. See,

425
00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:50,840
Speaker 4: my father came out of poverty. He was raised very poor,

426
00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:54,000
Speaker 4: went to high school with holes in his clothes, holes

427
00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:57,159
Speaker 4: in his shoes. When I was ten years old, I

428
00:26:57,240 --> 00:27:00,120
Speaker 4: was at a clothing store. My father was about to

429
00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:03,399
Speaker 4: purchase a suit when the salesman found out he was

430
00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:06,800
Speaker 4: a pastor. He said, let me go see maybe I

431
00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:10,240
Speaker 4: can get you a minister's discount. And of course my

432
00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:13,879
Speaker 4: father was grateful, but something about that hit him wrong.

433
00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:18,040
Speaker 4: He said, Sir, I appreciate it, but that won't be necessary.

434
00:27:18,359 --> 00:27:23,359
Speaker 4: My father is extremely wealthy. The salesman looked so surprised.

435
00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:26,919
Speaker 4: He didn't know he was talking about his heavenly father.

436
00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:32,119
Speaker 4: But my father's attitude was I was grounded long enough.

437
00:27:32,800 --> 00:27:35,680
Speaker 4: I crawled around for years. This is a new day.

438
00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:38,919
Speaker 4: I've got my wings and I'm not going back to

439
00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:44,560
Speaker 4: that worm mentality. I was born to fly. Sometimes we're

440
00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:47,879
Speaker 4: waiting for God to take us higher. God is waiting

441
00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:51,840
Speaker 4: for us to bring our thinking up higher. Get rid

442
00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:56,040
Speaker 4: of that worm mentality. Don't reduce what God promised you

443
00:27:56,359 --> 00:27:59,600
Speaker 4: to fit your faith. Stretch your faith. How you were

444
00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:02,880
Speaker 4: raised is not how you're supposed to stay. God has

445
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:06,280
Speaker 4: new levels. You may not see how this can happen.

446
00:28:06,560 --> 00:28:09,760
Speaker 4: There are big obstacles in your path. Don't be moved

447
00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:14,280
Speaker 4: by what you see. What you see is subject to change.

448
00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:18,280
Speaker 4: Like Elijah, I can hear the sound of abundance. I

449
00:28:18,320 --> 00:28:22,359
Speaker 4: hear the sound of healing, the sound of breakthroughs. You

450
00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:26,000
Speaker 4: may have been grounded. I have good news. Your caterpillar

451
00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:30,760
Speaker 4: days are over. I believe and declare your weans are coming.

452
00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:34,639
Speaker 4: You are going to accomplish more than you thought possible.

453
00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:41,000
Speaker 4: It's going to happen sooner than you think. Acceleration, promotion, healing,

454
00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:45,920
Speaker 4: new opportunities, new levels, the fullness of your destiny in

455
00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:49,440
Speaker 4: Jesus's name, and if you receive it, can you say amen?

456
00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:53,880
Speaker 4: Today I'd like to give you an opportunity to make

457
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:57,120
Speaker 4: Jesus the lord of your life. Would you pray with me?

458
00:28:57,840 --> 00:29:03,440
Speaker 4: Just say, Lord Jesus, I'll repent of my sins. Come

459
00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:07,280
Speaker 4: into my heart. I'll make you my Lord and savior.

460
00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:11,200
