1 00:00:00,920 --> 00:00:02,440 Speaker 1: Hi, this is Joelan Victoria. 2 00:00:02,759 --> 00:00:05,560 Speaker 2: Thanks so much for listening to the podcast and thanks 3 00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:07,040 Speaker 2: for supporting the ministry. 4 00:00:07,360 --> 00:00:08,560 Speaker 1: We believe you're going to have an. 5 00:00:08,560 --> 00:00:12,720 Speaker 2: Awesome twenty twenty four, healthy, productive, and favor filled. 6 00:00:13,039 --> 00:00:16,560 Speaker 1: God bless you today and enjoy the message. God bless you. 7 00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:19,720 Speaker 2: It's great to be with you today, and I hope 8 00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:22,400 Speaker 2: you'll stay connected with us during the week through our 9 00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:26,000 Speaker 2: daily podcast, our YouTube channel, social media. 10 00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:29,760 Speaker 1: We'll keep you encouraged and inspired. I like to start 11 00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:33,120 Speaker 1: with something funny, and I heard about this elderly woman. 12 00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:36,600 Speaker 2: She came to church one Sunday morning. A friendly usher 13 00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:38,440 Speaker 2: met her at the back door and asked where. 14 00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:39,080 Speaker 1: She'd like to sit. 15 00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:41,840 Speaker 2: She said, I want to sit on the very front row. 16 00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:44,840 Speaker 2: He said, oh no, ma'am, you don't want to sit there. 17 00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:48,400 Speaker 2: Our pastor is very boring. He'll put you to sleep. 18 00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:52,559 Speaker 2: Let me find you another seat. She looked appalled. She said, sir, 19 00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:55,000 Speaker 2: do you know who I am? He said no, ma'am. 20 00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:57,080 Speaker 2: She said, I am the pastor's mother. 21 00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:01,760 Speaker 1: He hung his head an embarrassment, finally looked up and said, ma'am, 22 00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:05,160 Speaker 1: do you know who I am? She said no. He said, thank. 23 00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:09,679 Speaker 2: God, say it like you mean it. This is my Bible. 24 00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:12,360 Speaker 2: I am what it says I am. I have what 25 00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:14,840 Speaker 2: it says I have. I can do what it says 26 00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:17,600 Speaker 2: I can do. Today I will be taught the word 27 00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:21,760 Speaker 2: of God. I boldly confess my mind is alert, my 28 00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:26,199 Speaker 2: heart is receptive. I will never be the same. In Jesus' name, 29 00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:30,360 Speaker 2: God bless you. I want to talk to you today 30 00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:34,840 Speaker 2: about a turnaround is coming. We all face situations that 31 00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:37,640 Speaker 2: look like they'll never change, and it's easy to get 32 00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:40,839 Speaker 2: discouraged and accept that it's never going to work out. 33 00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:45,120 Speaker 2: But God said in Zephiniah three, I will turn things 34 00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:49,720 Speaker 2: around for my people. He's a turnaround God. He turns 35 00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:55,160 Speaker 2: bearing wounds into babies. He turns red seas into dry pathways. 36 00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:59,600 Speaker 2: He turns five loaves and two fish into dinner for thousands. 37 00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:04,240 Speaker 2: He turned skin filled with leprosy into skin as clear. 38 00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:05,320 Speaker 1: As a little baby. 39 00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:09,560 Speaker 2: When thoughts tell you your situation is permanent, you'll never get 40 00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:12,720 Speaker 2: out of this problem, never get well, never see your 41 00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:13,680 Speaker 2: family restored. 42 00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:16,359 Speaker 1: No, get ready. A turnaround is coming. 43 00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:21,720 Speaker 2: God is about to turn sickness into health, turn addictions 44 00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:26,799 Speaker 2: into freedom, turn lack into abundance, turn struggle in the ease. 45 00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:31,040 Speaker 2: You're coming in to a turnaround season. You're going to 46 00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:35,200 Speaker 2: see the hand of God do things that are unusual, uncommon, 47 00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:39,880 Speaker 2: out of the ordinary. This is what Zachariah said. God 48 00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:45,440 Speaker 2: has turned my mountains into mold hills. Mountains represent obstacles, 49 00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:50,000 Speaker 2: things that look permanent, like it's immovable. Depression can be 50 00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:53,440 Speaker 2: a mountain feels like you'll always struggle with it. A 51 00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:56,160 Speaker 2: mountain can be people at work that are not for you. 52 00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:59,320 Speaker 2: They have more seniority. What can you do about it? 53 00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:03,920 Speaker 2: Or how about a mountain of debt lack, can't get ahead. 54 00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:07,080 Speaker 2: It's been in your family for years. This is a 55 00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:10,400 Speaker 2: new day. That mountain is about to be turned to 56 00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:14,000 Speaker 2: a mold hill. God is about to flatten some things out. 57 00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:18,200 Speaker 2: He's about to remove some obstacles. What used to hold 58 00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:21,960 Speaker 2: you back is not going to limit you anymore. People 59 00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:24,320 Speaker 2: that weren't for you, suddenly they're. 60 00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:26,600 Speaker 1: Out of your path. You didn't have to do it. 61 00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:27,560 Speaker 1: God turned it. 62 00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:32,560 Speaker 2: That mountain of loneliness, not having anyone in life to love, 63 00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:36,160 Speaker 2: it's about to become a mold hill. The right person 64 00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:40,120 Speaker 2: is going to find you, a divine connection, somebody better 65 00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:44,000 Speaker 2: than you've imagined. Now you have to receive this by faith. 66 00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:47,680 Speaker 2: This won't do you any good if you think this 67 00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:51,240 Speaker 2: is not for me, Joel, my situation could never turn around. 68 00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:54,680 Speaker 2: You don't know what I'm facing. You can cancel out 69 00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:58,360 Speaker 2: what God wants to do by doubt, by negative thinking. 70 00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:01,320 Speaker 2: Why don't you be a belief and not a doubter. 71 00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:04,840 Speaker 2: Why don't you get in agreement with God and say, God, 72 00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:08,200 Speaker 2: I believe what you promised, that a turnaround is coming 73 00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:12,720 Speaker 2: in my health, in my finances, my relationships, my career. 74 00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:17,080 Speaker 2: Whatever you think is permanent that you could never get past. 75 00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:20,279 Speaker 2: You need to see that mountain being turned into a 76 00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:20,839 Speaker 2: mold hill. 77 00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:24,360 Speaker 1: David in the scripture, he went through. 78 00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:29,400 Speaker 2: A lot of opposition, lonely nights, betrayals. King Saul was 79 00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:32,120 Speaker 2: trying to kill him, his little baby was sick and 80 00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:34,920 Speaker 2: didn't make it. There were plenty of things that could 81 00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:39,080 Speaker 2: have stopped his destiny, but he said in Psalm thirty, God, 82 00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:42,279 Speaker 2: you have turned my mourning into dancing. 83 00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:45,720 Speaker 1: You've turned my sorrow into joy. 84 00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:49,360 Speaker 2: He could have lived bitter, discouraged, looking in the rear 85 00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:53,680 Speaker 2: view mirror, but he understood, we serve a turnaround God, 86 00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:57,440 Speaker 2: and yes, you may have seasons of mourning times. You 87 00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:01,800 Speaker 2: go through loss, disappointments, things that are not fair, but 88 00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:03,800 Speaker 2: that's not how your story ends. 89 00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:05,440 Speaker 1: A turnaround is coming. 90 00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:08,520 Speaker 2: God is going to take what was meant for harm 91 00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:11,440 Speaker 2: and turn it to your advantage. 92 00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:13,600 Speaker 1: He's not going to stop all the difficulties. 93 00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:16,840 Speaker 2: He won't keep you from every mountain, but he did 94 00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:20,760 Speaker 2: promise he would turn the sorrow into joy. He'll turn 95 00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:24,359 Speaker 2: the mountain into a mold hill. Weeping may endure for 96 00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:27,919 Speaker 2: a night, but joy is coming in the morning. You 97 00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:32,520 Speaker 2: have to get your fireback. The disappointments, the loss, what 98 00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:36,440 Speaker 2: you're up against didn't stop your purpose. God is still 99 00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:39,640 Speaker 2: in control. He didn't bring you this far to leave you. 100 00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:42,960 Speaker 2: It seems like a setback, but really it's a set 101 00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:46,039 Speaker 2: up for God to show out in a greater way. 102 00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:50,359 Speaker 2: Zephaniah went on to say, when God turns it around, 103 00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:55,240 Speaker 2: everything you've lost will be restored. Instead of shame, he 104 00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:59,160 Speaker 2: will give you honor. Burdens you've carried will be lifted. 105 00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:03,320 Speaker 2: Nineteen says he will get rid of all those that 106 00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:06,440 Speaker 2: have made your life miserable. He will heal the sick, 107 00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:10,120 Speaker 2: He will bring home the prodigals. You will be respected 108 00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:13,400 Speaker 2: wherever you go. You need to get this down in 109 00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:17,800 Speaker 2: your spirit. It's turnaround time. What's limited you in the 110 00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:21,719 Speaker 2: past is not going to limit you anymore. When I 111 00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:24,599 Speaker 2: look back over my life, I can see the God 112 00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:28,880 Speaker 2: of the turnaround. My mother was diagnosed with terminal cancer, 113 00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:32,520 Speaker 2: no treatment that they could give her. It was Christmas 114 00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:35,600 Speaker 2: of nineteen eighty one. We were expecting to have a 115 00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:40,760 Speaker 2: fun time with the family, altogether joyful. Instead it was 116 00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:44,040 Speaker 2: a time of weeping. I had never seen my mother 117 00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:47,000 Speaker 2: sick a day in her life. Now she was frail, 118 00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:48,720 Speaker 2: skin yellow. 119 00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:49,480 Speaker 1: Very weak. 120 00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:53,080 Speaker 2: She was only forty six years old. We did what 121 00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:56,440 Speaker 2: I'm asking you to do. We said, Father, this looks 122 00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:59,960 Speaker 2: impossible to us, but we know you're a turnaround God. 123 00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:03,480 Speaker 1: Go you can turn this mountain into a mohill. 124 00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:08,719 Speaker 2: The scripture says, the moment you pray, the tide of 125 00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:13,320 Speaker 2: the battle turns. Something supernatural happens. When you pray in 126 00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:15,560 Speaker 2: faith the turn around God. 127 00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:16,160 Speaker 1: Goes to work. 128 00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:21,600 Speaker 2: Miracles are set in motion, angels are dispatched, favor is released. 129 00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:26,280 Speaker 2: Don't just think about your problems, don't just worry, live stressed. 130 00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:31,800 Speaker 2: Go to God in prayer. Ask him to turn it around, Ask. 131 00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:32,400 Speaker 1: Him to heal you. 132 00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:37,040 Speaker 2: To free you, to favor you, to bring that dream 133 00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:42,080 Speaker 2: to pass, to move that mountain. Not begging him, Oh God, please, 134 00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:45,280 Speaker 2: you gotta do it now, go to him in faith. Father, 135 00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:48,600 Speaker 2: I know you're bigger than this cancer. You're stronger than 136 00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:53,000 Speaker 2: this opposition. You're more powerful than this addiction. I'm asking 137 00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:54,840 Speaker 2: you to make a way where. 138 00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:56,920 Speaker 1: I don't see away. Here's the key. 139 00:07:57,400 --> 00:08:01,720 Speaker 2: Once you pray, believe that it's all already done. You 140 00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:04,640 Speaker 2: may not see it with your physical eyes. Most of 141 00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:08,360 Speaker 2: the time, it doesn't happen instantly. There's a period from 142 00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:11,000 Speaker 2: when you pray to when the answer will show up. 143 00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:14,520 Speaker 2: That's a test of your faith, and thoughts will say 144 00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:18,160 Speaker 2: nothing happened. It's not going to work out. This turnaround 145 00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:21,320 Speaker 2: thing is not for you. Don't believe those lies in 146 00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:25,560 Speaker 2: the unseen realm. The turnaround is already in motion. What 147 00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:30,280 Speaker 2: God promised is already en round. Instead of going downhill. 148 00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:33,959 Speaker 2: Like the medical report said about my mother, she started 149 00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:38,000 Speaker 2: getting better, defying the odds. Her skin went back to 150 00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:41,480 Speaker 2: a normal color, she got her energy back, she gained 151 00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:45,120 Speaker 2: her weight back. Today, forty one years later, she's still 152 00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:46,400 Speaker 2: healthy and whole. 153 00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:49,800 Speaker 1: What was that the turnaround? God? 154 00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:54,120 Speaker 2: We can say with David. God has turned our sorrow 155 00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:58,880 Speaker 2: into joy. He's turned our mourning into dancing. You may 156 00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:03,199 Speaker 2: have situations that look permanent. All the circumstances say it'll 157 00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:06,360 Speaker 2: never work out. It's been too long, the odds are 158 00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:10,120 Speaker 2: against you. God is not limited by what limits us. 159 00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:15,360 Speaker 2: We're natural. He's supernatural. He's saying to you today, a 160 00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:19,480 Speaker 2: turnaround is coming. He's going to turn that sickness into 161 00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:22,440 Speaker 2: hell like you did for my mother. He's going to 162 00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:25,160 Speaker 2: turn that loneliness into companionship. 163 00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:27,000 Speaker 1: He's going to turn. 164 00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:30,600 Speaker 2: That child that's off course back into his purpose. He's 165 00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:33,840 Speaker 2: going to turn those people that are against you suddenly 166 00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:35,080 Speaker 2: they're going to be for you. 167 00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:39,000 Speaker 1: He's going to turn that dream that looks too far gone. 168 00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:43,079 Speaker 2: Into a reality. This is a turnaround day. You're going 169 00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:45,560 Speaker 2: to see mountains turned into mold hills. 170 00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:48,040 Speaker 1: What was meant to stop you is going. 171 00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:52,080 Speaker 2: To be turned to push you into your destiny. When 172 00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:55,600 Speaker 2: we were trying to acquire this place, the former Compact Center, 173 00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:59,320 Speaker 2: we needed ten votes from the city council members. We 174 00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:01,720 Speaker 2: work for a year, year and a half convincing the 175 00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:05,640 Speaker 2: council members. We had exactly ten, just what we needed. 176 00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:09,120 Speaker 2: But two days before the main vote, one of the 177 00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:13,000 Speaker 2: council members who was for us received so much pressure 178 00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:15,760 Speaker 2: from the other side he decided to be out. 179 00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:18,360 Speaker 1: Of town for the vote. That was like a no vote. 180 00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:21,560 Speaker 2: Without him being there, we wouldn't get the facility. We 181 00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:25,160 Speaker 2: couldn't believe it was the last moment. We'd worked all 182 00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:28,440 Speaker 2: this time, and now we were one vote shy. I 183 00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:31,960 Speaker 2: went to visit with a young Jewish council member that 184 00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:32,520 Speaker 2: had been. 185 00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:35,120 Speaker 1: Against us the whole time. I thought, I have nothing 186 00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:35,600 Speaker 1: to lose. 187 00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:38,600 Speaker 2: When I walked in his office, he said, Joel, I've 188 00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:39,480 Speaker 2: changed my mind. 189 00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:42,560 Speaker 1: I'm going to vote for you. I nearly passed out. 190 00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:46,080 Speaker 2: He told how there was an older Jewish woman that 191 00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:49,520 Speaker 2: he knew growing up. He always had great respect for her, 192 00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:52,840 Speaker 2: but he hadn't spoken with her in over twenty years. 193 00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:56,520 Speaker 2: She called him the day before and told him in 194 00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:59,839 Speaker 2: no uncertain terms that he was to vote for le 195 00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:03,120 Speaker 2: having the compact center. He changed his mind. 196 00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:05,880 Speaker 1: His vote gave us the facility. 197 00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:09,480 Speaker 2: God knows how to turn people that are against you 198 00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:14,120 Speaker 2: and cause him to Before you, I had worked on 199 00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:18,600 Speaker 2: him with everything I had, giving him my best speeches, 200 00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:22,720 Speaker 2: trying to convince him what I couldn't do In two years, 201 00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:26,000 Speaker 2: God had a woman I had never met changed his 202 00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:26,800 Speaker 2: mind in. 203 00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:28,000 Speaker 1: A five minute phone call. 204 00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:32,000 Speaker 2: When God is ready to turn it around, no person 205 00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:32,880 Speaker 2: can stop him. 206 00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:36,120 Speaker 1: No sickness, no addiction, no trouble. 207 00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:39,560 Speaker 2: What God has purposed for your life will come to 208 00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:43,800 Speaker 2: pass when you face these situations that seem permanent. You've 209 00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:46,720 Speaker 2: done all you can and the door hasn't opened. The 210 00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:51,240 Speaker 2: person hasn't changed, the medical report hasn't improved. You feel 211 00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:54,040 Speaker 2: like we did it was too late. You've run out 212 00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:54,679 Speaker 2: of options. 213 00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:58,960 Speaker 1: Now get ready. A turnaround is coming. What God started 214 00:11:59,240 --> 00:11:59,959 Speaker 1: he's going to defend. 215 00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:03,839 Speaker 2: There's not a mountain you face that he can't turn 216 00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:07,360 Speaker 2: into a mold hill. There's not a person that's against 217 00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:09,560 Speaker 2: you that he can't change their mind. 218 00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:13,240 Speaker 1: You don't have to convince people. You do your part 219 00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:17,120 Speaker 1: and lead the rest to God. That supervisor that's not 220 00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:20,000 Speaker 1: treating you right. You keep doing the right thing and 221 00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:21,200 Speaker 1: let God deal with them. 222 00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:25,199 Speaker 2: The scripture says God can turn the heart of a king. 223 00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:29,040 Speaker 2: God knows how to turn people to before you. He 224 00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:31,240 Speaker 2: can cause them to want to be good to you. 225 00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:35,320 Speaker 2: Friend of mine had a problem with his visa. He's 226 00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:38,960 Speaker 2: from Europe, came to the United States for work. He 227 00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:41,000 Speaker 2: went to the office to get it extended. 228 00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:42,160 Speaker 1: The man at the. 229 00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:45,680 Speaker 2: Counter was very rude and unhelpful, like my friend was 230 00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:49,800 Speaker 2: bothering him. The man took his paperwork, barely even read it, 231 00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:53,199 Speaker 2: and said it will be five years before this is approved. 232 00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:57,120 Speaker 2: My friend pleaded with him, ask if there's anything he 233 00:12:57,160 --> 00:12:58,720 Speaker 2: could do to make it happen faster. 234 00:12:59,360 --> 00:12:59,920 Speaker 1: The man got. 235 00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:04,000 Speaker 2: Upset, said they were all backed up. This was the policy. 236 00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:06,840 Speaker 2: There's nothing more he could do about it. My friend 237 00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:11,040 Speaker 2: left very discouraged. There were no good options. He couldn't 238 00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:15,559 Speaker 2: operate his business without the paperwork. Two weeks later, there 239 00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:18,440 Speaker 2: was a call from that government office saying that his 240 00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:21,880 Speaker 2: paperwork had been approved and was ready to be picked up. 241 00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:25,840 Speaker 2: He rushed down there, believing for the best, in the 242 00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:28,840 Speaker 2: back of his mind, thinking it was a mistake. When 243 00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:31,720 Speaker 2: he walked in, the man that was so rude was 244 00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:35,440 Speaker 2: holding the paperwork. My friend thanked him, said, Wow, this 245 00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:38,000 Speaker 2: is such a great surprise. I thought it was going 246 00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:42,080 Speaker 2: to take much longer. The men said gruffly it should have. 247 00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:45,280 Speaker 2: But ever since I met you, I can't get you 248 00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:48,880 Speaker 2: off my mind. I wake up thinking about you, I 249 00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:50,360 Speaker 2: eat breakfast thinking about you. 250 00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:53,920 Speaker 1: I come to work thinking about you. Just take the. 251 00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:58,640 Speaker 2: Paperwork and go so I can have some peace. God 252 00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:03,000 Speaker 2: knows how to turn peopled around. They may not like you. 253 00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:07,240 Speaker 1: But they will help you fulfill your purpose. Luke, Chapter seven. 254 00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:10,679 Speaker 2: Jesus had just left Capernaiuan and was headed to the 255 00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:14,240 Speaker 2: city of Name. His disciples and a large group of 256 00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:17,360 Speaker 2: people were following him. When he arrived at the city, 257 00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:20,520 Speaker 2: a funeral procession was coming toward him. 258 00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:24,080 Speaker 1: They were on their way to bury this young boy. 259 00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:25,480 Speaker 1: His mother was a widow. 260 00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:29,160 Speaker 2: She had already buried her husband. Now she was about 261 00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:30,120 Speaker 2: to bury her son. 262 00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:34,320 Speaker 1: He was her only child. You can imagine the sorrow, 263 00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:38,000 Speaker 1: the pain she was dealing with in those days. 264 00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:41,600 Speaker 2: Her son represented her security. That's how she would be 265 00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:45,080 Speaker 2: taken care of. Now, her support for her later years 266 00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:49,120 Speaker 2: was gone. Verse thirteen says when Jesus. 267 00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:50,680 Speaker 1: Saw her, his heart broke. 268 00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:55,280 Speaker 2: God sees when you're hurting, He sees when you're lonely, 269 00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:57,480 Speaker 2: you feel overwhelmed, like. 270 00:14:57,400 --> 00:14:58,280 Speaker 1: You can't go on. 271 00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:02,240 Speaker 2: He's moved with compacts, and Jesus went over to the 272 00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:06,440 Speaker 2: woman and said, don't cry. He was saying, you're weeping now, 273 00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:10,080 Speaker 2: but I'm about to turn things around. This pain is 274 00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:13,640 Speaker 2: not permanent, This sorrow is not how your story ends. 275 00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:17,800 Speaker 1: He walked over to the coffin. The pallbearers set it down. 276 00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:19,320 Speaker 1: They didn't know what was happening. 277 00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:23,480 Speaker 2: Jesus spoke to the little boy, said, young man, wake up. 278 00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:26,520 Speaker 2: The little boy sat up in the coffin began to 279 00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:30,360 Speaker 2: look around. Jesus went over, picked him up and handed 280 00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:31,400 Speaker 2: him to his mother. 281 00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:34,240 Speaker 1: Alive and well. She went from. 282 00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:39,520 Speaker 2: Great sorrow to great joy, from great mourning to great rejoicing, 283 00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:44,240 Speaker 2: from being depressed distraught, not knowing how she could go on. 284 00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:47,320 Speaker 1: But then the God of the turnaround stepped in. 285 00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:51,240 Speaker 2: Now she's still weeping, but these are no longer tears 286 00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:52,000 Speaker 2: of sadness. 287 00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:56,200 Speaker 1: They are tears of joy. Sometimes life gets tough. 288 00:15:56,920 --> 00:16:00,680 Speaker 2: You shed tears from hurts, from a bad meta report, 289 00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:04,000 Speaker 2: from a child that breaks your heart, from dreams that 290 00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:07,560 Speaker 2: don't work out. There will be times of mourning. But 291 00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:10,200 Speaker 2: what I want you to see is that's not the end. 292 00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:14,600 Speaker 2: We serve a turnaround. God like with this woman, He's 293 00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:17,560 Speaker 2: going to step in and turn the sorrow to joy, 294 00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:20,680 Speaker 2: turn the brokenness to wholeness, turn. 295 00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:22,360 Speaker 1: The mourning into dancing. 296 00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:26,920 Speaker 2: Imagine this solemn funeral procession on their way to the 297 00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:31,440 Speaker 2: burial grounds, all the weeping, mourning, everyone's. 298 00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:34,400 Speaker 1: Stepping out of the way respectfully. Then Jesus meets the 299 00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:36,760 Speaker 1: woman raises the little boy. 300 00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:40,600 Speaker 2: They don't continue onto the cemetery. They don't keep going 301 00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:43,960 Speaker 2: to the burial plot. They turn around and go back 302 00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:47,440 Speaker 2: into the city. People start asking, why are you back 303 00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:49,560 Speaker 2: so soon, Why didn't you bury him? 304 00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:52,960 Speaker 1: They answer, there's no need. We had a turnaround. 305 00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:58,160 Speaker 2: Something unexpectedly changed in our favor. We all have these 306 00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:01,480 Speaker 2: situations at times that look dead dreams. 307 00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:04,720 Speaker 1: We've given up on promises. It seemed like it's too late. 308 00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:08,400 Speaker 1: God is saying, I'm going to bring dead things back 309 00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:11,720 Speaker 1: to life. There are going to be turnarounds that leave 310 00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:13,120 Speaker 1: you in awe. 311 00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:16,480 Speaker 2: You left defeated, but you're going to come back victorious. 312 00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:21,040 Speaker 2: You thought your business was dead. God's about to surprise you. 313 00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:25,840 Speaker 2: Increase is coming, favor is coming, new clients are coming. 314 00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:29,439 Speaker 2: You thought you'd have to live with that sickness. Just 315 00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:33,960 Speaker 2: manage that depression. Know a turnaround is coming. God's about 316 00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:38,679 Speaker 2: to do something out of the ordinary, something supernatural like 317 00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:42,080 Speaker 2: these people. You're going to be in awe, amazed at 318 00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:45,159 Speaker 2: the greatness of our God. I met a man that 319 00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:50,159 Speaker 2: was very healthy, had a great family, successful career, but 320 00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:53,120 Speaker 2: in his mid fifties he had what appeared to be 321 00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:56,359 Speaker 2: a massive stroke and was left drain dead. 322 00:17:57,119 --> 00:18:00,920 Speaker 1: His family was so distraught. The neurosurgeon was a close 323 00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:04,960 Speaker 1: friend to the family and the leading expert. He said, unfortunately, 324 00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:08,920 Speaker 1: there's nothing we could do. There was no brain activity. 325 00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:11,760 Speaker 1: He was on a breathing machine that was keeping him alive. 326 00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:16,760 Speaker 1: Family made arrangements to have his organs donated. They said 327 00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:20,160 Speaker 1: they're goodbyes, and they were told once they took out 328 00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:22,639 Speaker 1: the tube, he would stop breathing on his own. In 329 00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:25,800 Speaker 1: a couple of minutes, they removed the life's support. 330 00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:28,920 Speaker 2: The family waited for him to pass, but he kept 331 00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:33,119 Speaker 2: breathing on his own. The doctor said that wasn't completely uncommon, 332 00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:35,960 Speaker 2: it was just a matter of time. So the family 333 00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:38,840 Speaker 2: went home and started making plans for the funeral. 334 00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:40,520 Speaker 1: A few hours. 335 00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:43,720 Speaker 2: Later, the nurse frantically called and said, you have to 336 00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:44,360 Speaker 2: get up here. 337 00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:48,160 Speaker 1: He woke up. He's talking, he wants something to eat. 338 00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:52,200 Speaker 1: The doctors had no explanation. 339 00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:55,280 Speaker 2: Today, he's totally fine. 340 00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:58,680 Speaker 1: God has the final say, and yes, at some point 341 00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:00,760 Speaker 1: I know we're all going to pass, but it's not 342 00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:05,080 Speaker 1: over until God says it's over. They went from. 343 00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:08,720 Speaker 2: Making plans for a funeral to making plans for dinner 344 00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:09,200 Speaker 2: that night. 345 00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:13,920 Speaker 1: From great sorrow to great joy. We serve a turnaround. God. 346 00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:18,800 Speaker 2: You may have gone through disappointments, a rough childhood. The 347 00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:23,240 Speaker 2: pandemic sets you back. Now you feel that heaviness, lost 348 00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:25,879 Speaker 2: your passion. You think this is all you have to 349 00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:30,720 Speaker 2: look forward to. No, there's a turnaround coming, something unexpected 350 00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:34,600 Speaker 2: that's going to change in your favor. This is what 351 00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:37,679 Speaker 2: happened with a young lady in the scripture named Ruth. 352 00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:39,320 Speaker 1: Her husband was killed. 353 00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:42,080 Speaker 2: She never dreamed she would be a widow at such 354 00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:46,120 Speaker 2: a young age. You can imagine the heartache, the sadness. 355 00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:49,560 Speaker 2: Her mother in law, Naomi, was a widow as well. 356 00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:53,920 Speaker 2: She moved back with Naomi to Bethlehem to help take. 357 00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:54,320 Speaker 1: Care of her. 358 00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:57,720 Speaker 2: Every morning, Ruth would go out into the fields and 359 00:19:57,800 --> 00:20:00,879 Speaker 2: pick up left over wheat that the world workers had missed. 360 00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:04,520 Speaker 2: This is how she and Naomi survived. They were barely 361 00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:08,840 Speaker 2: making it. They had no income. They were heartbroken. It 362 00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:13,399 Speaker 2: looked like lack, struggle loneliness was all Ruth had to 363 00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:16,760 Speaker 2: look forward to. But one morning, the owner of the 364 00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:21,800 Speaker 2: field noticed Ruth. He told his workers to leave handfuls 365 00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:23,240 Speaker 2: on purpose for Ruth. 366 00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:25,320 Speaker 1: He didn't speak to Ruth. 367 00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:28,960 Speaker 2: He spoke to someone to be good to Ruth. You 368 00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:32,280 Speaker 2: don't know who God is speaking to right now. 369 00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:34,480 Speaker 1: To be good to you. You don't think you have 370 00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:37,640 Speaker 1: the connections. You feel stuff alone. 371 00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:41,719 Speaker 2: God is speaking to people about you. You're going to 372 00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:43,960 Speaker 2: come into these handfuls on purpose. 373 00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:48,280 Speaker 1: Now Ruth had more weep than she could use. Wasn't 374 00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:49,000 Speaker 1: a struggle. 375 00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:51,840 Speaker 2: She gathered it up in a fraction of the time. 376 00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:54,880 Speaker 2: And if the story stopped here, it'd be a great story. 377 00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:58,720 Speaker 2: God took care of Ruth. But when God turns things around, 378 00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:01,880 Speaker 2: he pays you back for what wasn't fair. He brings 379 00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:05,359 Speaker 2: you out better. The owner of that field fell in 380 00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:08,919 Speaker 2: love with Ruth. They ended up getting married. Now she 381 00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:11,960 Speaker 2: didn't have to work in the fields, She owned the fields. 382 00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:17,960 Speaker 2: God turned the lack into abundance, turned her loneliness being 383 00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:21,480 Speaker 2: a widow at a young age, to marrying a successful 384 00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:25,560 Speaker 2: godly man. They had a baby that they named Obed. 385 00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:29,640 Speaker 2: Obed had a son that he named Jesse. Jesse had 386 00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:30,359 Speaker 2: a son. 387 00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:31,280 Speaker 1: He named David. 388 00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:35,040 Speaker 2: Ruth was the great grandmother of the greatest King that 389 00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:39,439 Speaker 2: ever lived. God knows how to turn sorrow into joy, 390 00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:41,760 Speaker 2: how to turn mourning into dancing. 391 00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:45,320 Speaker 1: You may have been through loss, things that weren't fair. 392 00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:49,080 Speaker 2: You could easily live discouraged, thinking you've seen your best 393 00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:52,199 Speaker 2: days if you only knew what God was up to. 394 00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:56,400 Speaker 2: He has turnarounds in your future that are so awesome 395 00:21:56,920 --> 00:22:00,320 Speaker 2: you won't think about what you've lost. You'll be so blessed, asked, 396 00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:02,399 Speaker 2: so happy, so fulfilled. 397 00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:03,560 Speaker 1: You don't look back. 398 00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:07,720 Speaker 2: You keep moving forward in faith, filled with gratitude, thanking 399 00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:08,920 Speaker 2: God for what He's done. 400 00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:13,520 Speaker 1: I talked to a single parent mother. She was struggling 401 00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:15,920 Speaker 1: to make ends meet, working two. 402 00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:19,359 Speaker 2: Jobs, long hours. She felt bad that she couldn't be 403 00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:22,280 Speaker 2: there with her children. On top of that, she had 404 00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:25,480 Speaker 2: no time for herself to date or have any kind. 405 00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:28,520 Speaker 1: Of social life. It looked like that's the way it 406 00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:31,440 Speaker 1: would always be. She couldn't see anything changing. 407 00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:35,280 Speaker 2: But just because you don't see it doesn't mean that 408 00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:38,520 Speaker 2: God is not up to something. You don't know who 409 00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:41,679 Speaker 2: he's speaking to about you, what he's lining up to 410 00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:45,080 Speaker 2: come your way. You keep being faithful, and like Ruth, 411 00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:49,399 Speaker 2: You're going to come in to handfuls on purpose, blessings, 412 00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:54,280 Speaker 2: healing relationships that you didn't see coming. One day, a 413 00:22:54,359 --> 00:22:58,600 Speaker 2: neighbor invited this young lady and her children over for dinner. 414 00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:01,399 Speaker 1: She had only I met this couple one time. 415 00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:04,680 Speaker 2: At dinner that night, they told her what a great 416 00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:07,719 Speaker 2: mother she was, how she was such a hard worker. 417 00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:11,320 Speaker 2: Then they said, we want to do something to make 418 00:23:11,359 --> 00:23:14,600 Speaker 2: your life a little easier. They handed her the keys 419 00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:17,720 Speaker 2: to a brand new car. She didn't see that coming. 420 00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:20,880 Speaker 2: She couldn't believe it. She was able to sell her car, 421 00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:24,320 Speaker 2: pay off her debts, not have to work so much. 422 00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:27,879 Speaker 2: About a year later, she met this executive from a 423 00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:32,800 Speaker 2: large company. Today she's happily married. Her children are flourishing. 424 00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:36,400 Speaker 2: I saw them after a service. She said, I never 425 00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:40,720 Speaker 2: dreamed I could be this blessed, this fulfilled. That's the 426 00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:42,080 Speaker 2: God of a turnaround. 427 00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:46,679 Speaker 1: You may be in a season of struggle, season of hardships, 428 00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:47,399 Speaker 1: where you're. 429 00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:51,119 Speaker 2: Working long hours, doing your best to provide, but nothing 430 00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:54,320 Speaker 2: is improving. You don't see how it will ever change. 431 00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:59,200 Speaker 2: God is watching you. He sees your sacrifice, he sees 432 00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:01,920 Speaker 2: you going the ex for mile. You're going to come 433 00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:05,600 Speaker 2: in to these turnaround moments. Where God is going to 434 00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:09,960 Speaker 2: turn the struggle into ease, turn the lack into abundance, 435 00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:14,800 Speaker 2: turn the sorrow into joy, turn the injustice what you 436 00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:19,680 Speaker 2: didn't get, what wasn't fair, into fulfillment, into purpose, into 437 00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:21,760 Speaker 2: a blessed, satisfied life. 438 00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:24,560 Speaker 1: I was in an amusement park with. 439 00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:27,640 Speaker 2: My children one time and we were in line for this. 440 00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:31,080 Speaker 1: Very popular ride. It was all single file at first, 441 00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:33,679 Speaker 1: but when you got close to the front, you go 442 00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:36,320 Speaker 1: into this room this about twenty feet by twenty feet 443 00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:39,639 Speaker 1: and wait. We were the first ones in the room, 444 00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:43,040 Speaker 1: so we walked toward the front. Other people started coming 445 00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:46,520 Speaker 1: in and maneuvering their ways around us, mainly kids. And 446 00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:49,239 Speaker 1: I'm more laid back and I wasn't going to get 447 00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:51,439 Speaker 1: in there and stand my ground fight to stay in 448 00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:54,160 Speaker 1: the front. So we ended up at the very back 449 00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:54,920 Speaker 1: of the room. 450 00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:58,240 Speaker 2: In a few minutes, a lady came out, stood at 451 00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:01,320 Speaker 2: the front and told what was going on, gave instructions 452 00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:02,000 Speaker 2: about the right. 453 00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:04,720 Speaker 1: There were two big doors up at the front. 454 00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:08,160 Speaker 2: That's where everyone had crowded up to We were standing 455 00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:09,480 Speaker 2: at the doors where you come in. 456 00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:11,720 Speaker 1: She said, okay, we're ready to go. 457 00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:15,480 Speaker 2: Everyone turn around and go back out the same door 458 00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:18,879 Speaker 2: as you came in all of a sudden, Instead of 459 00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:21,040 Speaker 2: being at the back of the line, we were at 460 00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:26,000 Speaker 2: the front.
