I promise 10 00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:26,200 Speaker 2: you we'll make you feel right at home. I like 11 00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:28,600 Speaker 2: to start with something funny, and I heard about these 12 00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:32,080 Speaker 2: three sons that left home and went out and prospered. 13 00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:35,559 Speaker 2: They got back together to talk about the gifts they 14 00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:38,960 Speaker 2: got their elderly mother. The first son said, I built 15 00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:42,239 Speaker 2: mom a big house. The second one said, I got 16 00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:45,920 Speaker 2: her a fancy car. The third son said, since mother 17 00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:49,320 Speaker 2: loves to read the Bible but can barely see, I 18 00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:52,680 Speaker 2: got her a specially trained parent that can quote the 19 00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:55,920 Speaker 2: entire Bible. A few weeks later, they received a letter 20 00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:58,680 Speaker 2: from their mother said, Milton, the house you built me 21 00:00:58,840 --> 00:00:59,800 Speaker 2: is way too big. 22 00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:02,800 Speaker 1: Gerald, the car you got me is way too small. 23 00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:06,800 Speaker 2: But my dearest Donald, your simple gift is my favorite. 24 00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:11,679 Speaker 2: The chicken was delicious. Say it like you mean it. 25 00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:15,000 Speaker 2: This is my Bible. I am what it says I am. 26 00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:17,880 Speaker 2: I have what it says I have. I can do 27 00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:20,640 Speaker 2: what it says I can do. Today I will be 28 00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:24,760 Speaker 2: taught the word of God. I boldly confess. My mind 29 00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:28,240 Speaker 2: is alert, my heart is receptive. I will never be 30 00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:30,720 Speaker 2: the same. In Jesus' name. 31 00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:31,760 Speaker 1: God bless you. 32 00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:36,200 Speaker 2: I want to talk to you today about the Joshua generation. 33 00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:41,399 Speaker 2: When God delivered the Israelites out of slavery. Moses led 34 00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:45,679 Speaker 2: them through the desert toward the Promised Land, but because 35 00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:49,560 Speaker 2: they complained and had wrong mindsets, they never went in. 36 00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:54,600 Speaker 2: They wandered around for forty years, and they saw God's goodness. 37 00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:55,120 Speaker 1: In part. 38 00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:59,040 Speaker 2: He protected them, gave them manna to eat each morning, 39 00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:02,240 Speaker 2: brought water out of a rock, and at times they 40 00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:05,320 Speaker 2: were grateful. They thanked God for what he had done. 41 00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:08,920 Speaker 2: But they only saw the promised land from a distance. 42 00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:13,040 Speaker 2: They only heard about the cluster of grapes so large 43 00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:15,920 Speaker 2: that it took two people to carry it, how. 44 00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:18,440 Speaker 1: It was a land flowing with milk and honey. 45 00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:22,280 Speaker 2: They dreamed about it, They believed for it, They hoped 46 00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:26,000 Speaker 2: it would happen, but they died without ever seeing it 47 00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:29,400 Speaker 2: come to pass. God raised up a young man named 48 00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:34,440 Speaker 2: Joshua to lead this new generation, the children of the. 49 00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:35,840 Speaker 1: First group that had died. 50 00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:40,840 Speaker 2: They had a different mindset. They didn't wander around another 51 00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:44,960 Speaker 2: forty years. They went into the promised land. They took 52 00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:48,920 Speaker 2: new ground. Their parents only made it up to the border. 53 00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:53,280 Speaker 2: They camped next door. They could see the cluster of grapes, 54 00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:57,079 Speaker 2: but Joshua and his people tasted the grapes. 55 00:02:57,639 --> 00:02:58,560 Speaker 1: They didn't just hear. 56 00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:01,040 Speaker 2: About the land of milk and high honey. They lived 57 00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:04,360 Speaker 2: in the land of milk and honey. All their parents 58 00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:09,120 Speaker 2: dreamed about the provision, the peace, the abundance the Joshua 59 00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:14,040 Speaker 2: generation experienced, and sometimes thoughts will tell you what you're 60 00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:16,919 Speaker 2: dreaming about will always only be a. 61 00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:19,600 Speaker 1: Dream, just a hope, a wish. 62 00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:23,280 Speaker 2: Others in your family tried to get ahead, They tried 63 00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:26,560 Speaker 2: to start the business, tried to break the addiction. They 64 00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:29,800 Speaker 2: couldn't do it, and neither will you. That would be 65 00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:33,680 Speaker 2: true if you were with Moses and the first group. 66 00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:37,080 Speaker 2: The good news is you are a part of the 67 00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:41,320 Speaker 2: Joshua generation. You are not going to just dream the dream. 68 00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:44,360 Speaker 2: You're going to live your dream. You're going to go 69 00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:48,320 Speaker 2: where no one in your family has gone. They may 70 00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:51,960 Speaker 2: have believed for it, they stood in faith, it didn't happen. 71 00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:56,000 Speaker 2: They laid the foundation. You're going to be the one 72 00:03:56,040 --> 00:04:00,880 Speaker 2: to see the fulfillment. David said, taste and that the 73 00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:04,400 Speaker 2: Lord is good. You're going to taste the grapes, Taste 74 00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:06,960 Speaker 2: the abundance, Taste the freedom. 75 00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:10,480 Speaker 1: This is a year where you're going to take new ground. 76 00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:14,920 Speaker 2: New ground in your finances, new ground in your health, 77 00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:20,000 Speaker 2: new ground in relationships. Areas that look like you were stuck. 78 00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:23,200 Speaker 2: Spend that way a long time, it will never change. 79 00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:29,600 Speaker 2: Things are shifting. Favor is coming in a new way, breakthroughs. 80 00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:30,960 Speaker 1: Promotion, the right people. 81 00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:36,320 Speaker 2: God is about to do something that you've never seen, unprecedented, 82 00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:41,520 Speaker 2: out of the ordinary. The scripture says, stand still and 83 00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:46,159 Speaker 2: watch the Lord show his mighty power. This is not 84 00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:50,000 Speaker 2: going to be by your effort, just your strength, your talent, 85 00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:51,120 Speaker 2: your determination. 86 00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:53,880 Speaker 1: It's going to be the hand of God. 87 00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:58,520 Speaker 2: Stand still and watch him show out in your life. 88 00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:02,840 Speaker 2: He's going to surp as anything you've seen. You are 89 00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:06,000 Speaker 2: not going to just believe for promises. You're about to 90 00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:09,840 Speaker 2: see promises come to pass. Now, just hope for breakthroughs. 91 00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:13,960 Speaker 2: You're gonna enjoy breakthroughs, not just dream about the right person. 92 00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:17,520 Speaker 2: You're going to meet the right person, somebody better than 93 00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:20,920 Speaker 2: you imagine. But maybe you come from a family line 94 00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:28,280 Speaker 2: of mediocrity, depression, divorce, addictions, poverty, It should continue with you. 95 00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:30,800 Speaker 1: But you're the Joshua generation. 96 00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:34,679 Speaker 2: There is a blessing on your life that will thrust 97 00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:39,160 Speaker 2: you ahead. Forces that have stopped your family are being 98 00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:43,080 Speaker 2: broken right now. What you couldn't make happen, God is 99 00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:44,880 Speaker 2: about to suddenly make happen. 100 00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:47,200 Speaker 1: No more. Just wandering in. 101 00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:51,400 Speaker 2: The desert, grateful that God is sustaining you. You can 102 00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:53,880 Speaker 2: see the promised land, but you don't think it will 103 00:05:53,920 --> 00:06:01,000 Speaker 2: ever happen. The Joshua generation has a conquering spirit. Just maintain, 104 00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:04,760 Speaker 2: let me hold my ground, Try not to go backwards. 105 00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:07,680 Speaker 1: Sometimes we have to do that. Just stand in faith. 106 00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:10,240 Speaker 2: But this is a year where you're going to take 107 00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:15,200 Speaker 2: new ground, not maintain, but advance, Not hold where I am, 108 00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:18,719 Speaker 2: but increase new levels, new opportunities. 109 00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:21,159 Speaker 1: And the people that have gone. 110 00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:24,520 Speaker 2: Before you may have worked hard and they did their best, 111 00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:28,560 Speaker 2: but they always struggled. They believed more, but they couldn't 112 00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:32,159 Speaker 2: seem to get ahead. They only solve the Promised Land 113 00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:35,760 Speaker 2: from a distance. Get ready, you're about to go in. 114 00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:39,919 Speaker 2: You are not with Moses, you are with Joshua. God 115 00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:42,800 Speaker 2: is going to open doors for you that didn't open 116 00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:46,640 Speaker 2: for others. You're going to go where your family hasn't gone. 117 00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:49,719 Speaker 2: You're going to set a new standard. You are not 118 00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:56,560 Speaker 2: going to spend your life constantly struggling, hoping things will improve, believing, wishing. 119 00:06:56,960 --> 00:06:58,240 Speaker 1: That was for a season. 120 00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:02,279 Speaker 2: But you showed God you would be faithful. You passed 121 00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:05,719 Speaker 2: the test. Now God is about to show his power. 122 00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:09,039 Speaker 2: He's about to take you to a place that you've 123 00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:12,640 Speaker 2: never dreamed. You're going to take ground that you didn't 124 00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:17,080 Speaker 2: think was possible. You didn't have the qualifications, you weren't 125 00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:19,200 Speaker 2: next in line the connections. 126 00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:21,240 Speaker 1: But God is about to show out. 127 00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:26,360 Speaker 2: You'll go to see the surpassing greatness of his favor. Well, Joel, 128 00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:29,240 Speaker 2: this sounds encouraging today, but I don't know how it 129 00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:33,640 Speaker 2: could happen for me. That's what Joshua and his generation thought. 130 00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:36,920 Speaker 2: All they had seen was wandering around in a desert. 131 00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:38,760 Speaker 1: They were born out there. 132 00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:43,480 Speaker 2: They grew up as nomads, people without a home, struggling 133 00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:48,160 Speaker 2: to survive, fighting off bandits. That was their way of life. 134 00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:51,960 Speaker 2: When they came to Jericho, the city that stood between 135 00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:55,680 Speaker 2: them and the Promised Land, there was a thirty foot 136 00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:59,880 Speaker 2: high wall that surrounded the city. It was so thin 137 00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:03,440 Speaker 2: chariots would run on top of the wall to protect 138 00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:05,600 Speaker 2: the people and watch for enemies. 139 00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:09,040 Speaker 1: The people of Jericho were skilled warriors. 140 00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:14,440 Speaker 2: They had the latest equipment inside a fortified city. Joshua 141 00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:19,720 Speaker 2: and his people had no military training, no equipment, no weapons. 142 00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:23,880 Speaker 2: All the odds were against them. It looked like they 143 00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:27,400 Speaker 2: would just dream about the Promised Land like their parents. 144 00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:31,400 Speaker 2: But when God is ready for you to take new ground, 145 00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:35,840 Speaker 2: it doesn't matter how big the obstacles are, how many 146 00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:39,240 Speaker 2: people are against you, how long you've had the problem. 147 00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:42,880 Speaker 2: One touch of his favor and walls will come down. 148 00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:45,760 Speaker 1: God is not limited by. 149 00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:48,960 Speaker 2: What you don't have, by the economy, by how you 150 00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:49,600 Speaker 2: were raised. 151 00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:51,360 Speaker 1: He has supernatural power. 152 00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:55,680 Speaker 2: The Israelites didn't have to break the walls down fight 153 00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:56,600 Speaker 2: their way through. 154 00:08:57,280 --> 00:08:59,080 Speaker 1: They just walked around. 155 00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:02,760 Speaker 2: The walls, give God praise, thanking him that he was 156 00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:05,600 Speaker 2: on the throne, that he was bigger than what they 157 00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:09,920 Speaker 2: were facing. Seventh time around, those walls came tumbling down. 158 00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:13,440 Speaker 2: They went in, took the city, went on to their 159 00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:17,400 Speaker 2: promised land. You may not see how you can make 160 00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:19,160 Speaker 2: it into your promised land. 161 00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:22,000 Speaker 1: You have big obstacles in your path. 162 00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:25,800 Speaker 2: The odds may be against you, but the most high 163 00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:27,200 Speaker 2: God is for you. 164 00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:28,800 Speaker 1: When thoughts tell. 165 00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:32,200 Speaker 2: You that you're stuck, you've reached your limits, it will 166 00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:35,400 Speaker 2: never change. Just say no, thanks. I know a secret. 167 00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:39,960 Speaker 2: I'm the Joshua generation. I am destined to take new ground. 168 00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:43,160 Speaker 1: I may not see away, but God, I know you 169 00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:46,600 Speaker 1: have a way. Father. Thank you that walls are coming down. 170 00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:51,160 Speaker 2: Thank you that new doors are opening, that breakthroughs, promotion. 171 00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:52,880 Speaker 1: Healing is headed my way. 172 00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:57,600 Speaker 2: The Joshua generation means you're not going to live like 173 00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:01,360 Speaker 2: those that have gone before you. They may have done well, 174 00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:05,840 Speaker 2: but you're going to live better. Every generation is supposed 175 00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:10,559 Speaker 2: to increase. You're going to live freer, live kinder, live 176 00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:13,760 Speaker 2: more generous, more passionate, more blessed. 177 00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:15,280 Speaker 1: You're going to live. 178 00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:21,480 Speaker 2: More devoted, more consecrated, not compromising, letting the same negative 179 00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:23,360 Speaker 2: habits keep getting passed down. 180 00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:26,040 Speaker 1: Now the buck stops with you. 181 00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:28,600 Speaker 2: You are the one to set a new standard for 182 00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:32,240 Speaker 2: your family. Quit telling yourself that you can't do it. 183 00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:36,280 Speaker 2: You've had the addiction too long. Everyone in your family 184 00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:40,480 Speaker 2: is negative, depressed, angry. That was the past, that was 185 00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:41,439 Speaker 2: with Moses. 186 00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:44,440 Speaker 1: The difference is you're the Joshua generation. 187 00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:48,080 Speaker 2: You wouldn't be hearing this if you weren't about to 188 00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:52,280 Speaker 2: take new ground. God is about to catapult you to 189 00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:57,120 Speaker 2: a new level. You are coming in to generational blessings. 190 00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:00,760 Speaker 2: There are people in your family line that have gone 191 00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:05,559 Speaker 2: before you that honored God. They prayed, they believed, they 192 00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:08,960 Speaker 2: worked hard, but they didn't see the fullness of what 193 00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:13,000 Speaker 2: they were believing for. The scripture talks about how some 194 00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:17,000 Speaker 2: of the saints of old died in faith without seeing 195 00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:20,240 Speaker 2: the promise come to pass. And some of the things 196 00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:25,240 Speaker 2: that your parents, your ancestors saw it wasn't for their generation. 197 00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:29,520 Speaker 2: God put it in their spirit as a seed. They 198 00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:32,400 Speaker 2: dreamed about it, they worked for it, but it was 199 00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:35,080 Speaker 2: all a part of the plan so that you could 200 00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:39,280 Speaker 2: step into it. You're coming into houses that you didn't build. 201 00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:42,199 Speaker 2: You're going to read from vineyards that you didn't plant, 202 00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:46,720 Speaker 2: promotion that you didn't work for. It's God keeping his 203 00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:52,199 Speaker 2: promise to your praying grandmother. It's God rewarding your family. 204 00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:53,600 Speaker 1: That went before you. 205 00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:56,040 Speaker 2: You're going to see a harvest from seeds that you 206 00:11:56,160 --> 00:12:01,360 Speaker 2: didn't sow. Business contracts, property, books, folks, movies, ministries. 207 00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:04,480 Speaker 1: You didn't have to go after them. They came after you. 208 00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:07,800 Speaker 2: It's a part of the new ground that God has 209 00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:12,600 Speaker 2: ordained for you. Deuteronomy six says the Lord will soon 210 00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:16,920 Speaker 2: bring you into the land that he promised your ancestors. 211 00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:20,680 Speaker 2: It is filled with large cities that you did not build. 212 00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:24,679 Speaker 2: The houses will be richly stocked with goods you did 213 00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:27,840 Speaker 2: not produce. You will draw from wells that you did 214 00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:33,400 Speaker 2: not dig. It's talking about generational blessings. It says, soon 215 00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:35,960 Speaker 2: you will come into what God promised. 216 00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:39,600 Speaker 1: Soon you will take new ground. Soon you will step 217 00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:42,920 Speaker 1: into new levels. When I look back over my. 218 00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:46,840 Speaker 2: Life, I can see these generational blessings favor that I 219 00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:51,520 Speaker 2: didn't work for. My parents started Lakewood in nineteen fifty 220 00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:56,440 Speaker 2: nine with ninety people. Those original members and my parents 221 00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:57,160 Speaker 2: worked hard. 222 00:12:57,600 --> 00:12:59,000 Speaker 1: They made sacrifices. 223 00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:02,960 Speaker 2: They had a little building, an old Rundown feed store. 224 00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:06,040 Speaker 1: They didn't complain. They were grateful. 225 00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:10,560 Speaker 2: Through the years the church grew and they saw God's blessings. 226 00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:14,160 Speaker 2: But in one sense, it's like they made it up 227 00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:17,559 Speaker 2: to the Promised Land. My father and many of them 228 00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:20,160 Speaker 2: went to be with the Lord. But when God gave 229 00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:23,640 Speaker 2: us the Compact Center, it's like we're the generation that 230 00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:24,760 Speaker 2: came into. 231 00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:25,439 Speaker 1: The Promised Land. 232 00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:29,600 Speaker 2: We have seen increase in favor like they never saw. 233 00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:33,679 Speaker 2: Fifteen years before my father died, he was speaking at 234 00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:36,880 Speaker 2: a friend of ours church. Out of the blue, he said, 235 00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:40,000 Speaker 2: one day we're going to own the Compact Center. 236 00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:43,280 Speaker 1: This building wasn't for sale. 237 00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:46,480 Speaker 2: The Rockets basketball team had a long term lease. 238 00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:48,360 Speaker 1: He had never said that before. 239 00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:52,760 Speaker 2: We had an eight thousand seat auditorium, plenty of room. 240 00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:56,280 Speaker 2: But God put that seed in his spirit, not for 241 00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:58,720 Speaker 2: his generation, but for our generation. 242 00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:01,400 Speaker 1: He dreamed of it. But we're living. 243 00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:06,640 Speaker 2: There are things that your parents, those that went before 244 00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:09,560 Speaker 2: you believe for they dreamed about. 245 00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:11,920 Speaker 1: Some wonder why they didn't happen. 246 00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:16,560 Speaker 2: Why the doors didn't open, It's because God ordained them 247 00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:21,080 Speaker 2: to open for you. They laid the foundation. Now God 248 00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:23,600 Speaker 2: is about to release what he promised. 249 00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:25,320 Speaker 1: You're about to step. 250 00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:28,800 Speaker 2: Into favor that you didn't work for. It's because you're 251 00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:32,640 Speaker 2: the Joshua generation. You're the one to take new ground. 252 00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:36,320 Speaker 2: And when I heard the Compact Center was coming available, 253 00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:40,280 Speaker 2: something came alive on the inside. I didn't know that 254 00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:43,160 Speaker 2: my father had talked about it until many years later. 255 00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:46,680 Speaker 2: But that seed was in my spirit, just like it 256 00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:50,680 Speaker 2: was in my father's. And everything you need to take 257 00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:54,760 Speaker 2: new ground has already been lined up. And yes, we 258 00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:57,560 Speaker 2: have to do our part, pray, believe, stay in faith. 259 00:14:58,160 --> 00:15:01,240 Speaker 2: But what I'm talking about is not going to happen 260 00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:03,200 Speaker 2: by your own efforts. 261 00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:04,840 Speaker 1: Your own ability. 262 00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:07,560 Speaker 2: If you can do it by yourself, it's not the 263 00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:11,680 Speaker 2: new ground. What God has in store is too big, 264 00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:15,480 Speaker 2: too expensive, too far out, too complicated. 265 00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:17,520 Speaker 1: The Compact Center. 266 00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:21,840 Speaker 2: Was far beyond what I imagined in my mind. It 267 00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:25,400 Speaker 2: didn't make sense, but in my spirit I knew we 268 00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:29,000 Speaker 2: were supposed to pursue it. This building was owned by 269 00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:32,880 Speaker 2: the city, so I called the mayor. Here's how amazing 270 00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:37,320 Speaker 2: God is. Twenty years before Lee Brown was the mayor 271 00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:41,320 Speaker 2: of Houston. He was the first African American police chief. 272 00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:44,520 Speaker 2: When he came to town, my parents went to a 273 00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:49,040 Speaker 2: reception to welcome him. I was a teenager. I remember 274 00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:52,680 Speaker 2: that night asking my parents where they were going. They said, 275 00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:55,520 Speaker 2: to welcome the new police chief. I asked when they 276 00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:58,160 Speaker 2: had met him. They said they had never met him. 277 00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:01,360 Speaker 2: I asked who invited them. They said no one had 278 00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:04,520 Speaker 2: invited them. They were just going on their own to 279 00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:07,440 Speaker 2: make sure he felt welcome and to let him know 280 00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:09,120 Speaker 2: that Lakewood was praying for him. 281 00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:13,080 Speaker 1: At eighteen years old, that made such an impression on men. 282 00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:16,240 Speaker 1: I thought they didn't have to go. Nobody invited them. 283 00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:17,320 Speaker 1: Why are they going? 284 00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:21,320 Speaker 2: They were simply sowing a seed of kindness. What my 285 00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:24,840 Speaker 2: parents didn't know that night was twenty two years later. 286 00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:28,640 Speaker 2: I would call him now the mayor of Houston, and 287 00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:32,480 Speaker 2: ask about us purchasing the Compact Center. When I did, 288 00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:35,960 Speaker 2: Mayor Brown said Joel, I think Lakewood having the Compact 289 00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:36,960 Speaker 2: Center would. 290 00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:38,600 Speaker 1: Be great for the city of Houston. 291 00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:43,160 Speaker 2: But had my parents not made that connection, had they 292 00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:47,120 Speaker 2: not developed that friendship years earlier, maybe he wouldn't have 293 00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:50,360 Speaker 2: taken my call. Maybe he wouldn't have been favorable to us. 294 00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:53,920 Speaker 2: Maybe we wouldn't be here. My parents sowed the seed 295 00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:57,520 Speaker 2: and I'll reap the harvest. What am I saying? God 296 00:16:57,600 --> 00:16:59,920 Speaker 2: has it all figured out. You're not going to have 297 00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:02,760 Speaker 2: to manipulate things, try. 298 00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:04,080 Speaker 1: To force doors to open. 299 00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:07,760 Speaker 2: What God has come in your way has been in 300 00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:09,640 Speaker 2: the works for a long time. 301 00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:11,119 Speaker 1: Before you were born. 302 00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:15,719 Speaker 2: It's so big, so amazing, you couldn't accomplish it on 303 00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:16,280 Speaker 2: your own. 304 00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:18,120 Speaker 1: He's been working. 305 00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:23,119 Speaker 2: Behind the scenes, generations back, getting everything lined up for 306 00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:26,840 Speaker 2: this time to take you into a place that you've 307 00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:33,960 Speaker 2: never imagined. Opportunity, bigger, influence, greater blessed, prosperous, healthy, whole, 308 00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:37,840 Speaker 2: so you can be an example of His goodness, so 309 00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:41,680 Speaker 2: you can shine brightly wherever you go. God has been 310 00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:45,400 Speaker 2: breathing on your family line, even when you didn't know it. 311 00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:49,840 Speaker 2: He has arranged things so that you can take new ground, 312 00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:55,200 Speaker 2: step into new levels, set new standards. My father always 313 00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:59,879 Speaker 2: built auditoriums, we had large sanctuaries. But the Compact Center 314 00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:03,480 Speaker 2: is new ground. I don't know of any church this 315 00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:08,159 Speaker 2: bought a basketball arena. This is unprecedented. What God is 316 00:18:08,240 --> 00:18:10,600 Speaker 2: going to do in your life is not going to 317 00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:11,560 Speaker 2: be ordinary. 318 00:18:11,800 --> 00:18:16,720 Speaker 1: It's going to be unusual. What you haven't seen, well, Joel, 319 00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:17,639 Speaker 1: this sounds. 320 00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:20,560 Speaker 2: Kind of far out. It's because we serve a far 321 00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:24,280 Speaker 2: out God. It's far out to be having church in 322 00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:27,760 Speaker 2: the Compact Center. It's far out that walls came down 323 00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:32,080 Speaker 2: with no opposition. It's far out that my parents befriended 324 00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:36,439 Speaker 2: a stranger and years later, he helped us get this facility. 325 00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:41,240 Speaker 2: That's what happens when you're the Joshua generation. Far out, 326 00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:45,240 Speaker 2: things chase you down. Watch and see what God is 327 00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:48,359 Speaker 2: about to do. Watch him show out in your life. 328 00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:52,560 Speaker 2: Watch him connect the dots, direct your steps, take you 329 00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:55,879 Speaker 2: where you couldn't go on your own. God wants you 330 00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:59,480 Speaker 2: to not only take new ground in your family, but 331 00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:01,200 Speaker 2: to take new ground. 332 00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:04,840 Speaker 1: In your field of work. New ground in medicine. 333 00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:07,400 Speaker 2: It's time for someone to discover the. 334 00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:09,600 Speaker 1: Cure for cancer. Maybe it'll be you. 335 00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:14,959 Speaker 2: New ground in technology, new ground in the arts and entertainment, 336 00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:18,800 Speaker 2: new ground in education, in ministry. You don't have to 337 00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:24,080 Speaker 2: be the smartest, most talented, most educated. Just dare to believe, 338 00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:28,159 Speaker 2: dare to say, God, I'm ready show out in my life. 339 00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:32,359 Speaker 2: Use me to help mankind, Use me to make the 340 00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:36,160 Speaker 2: world a better place, to lift people, to heal people, 341 00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:39,879 Speaker 2: to feed people, to save people, to leave my mark. 342 00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:43,920 Speaker 2: My friend, doctor Todd Price and his family have attended 343 00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:49,159 Speaker 2: here for many years. Todd specializes in infectious disease, has 344 00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:52,040 Speaker 2: a very successful practice and is a leader. 345 00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:52,600 Speaker 1: In his field. 346 00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:56,280 Speaker 2: Every couple of months he travels to Africa to treat 347 00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:59,520 Speaker 2: the children and way back in the villages teaches them 348 00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:03,760 Speaker 2: how to have good hygiene. Several months ago, Doctor Price 349 00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:08,040 Speaker 2: was about to leave for Uganda. It was a Friday afternoon. 350 00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:11,160 Speaker 2: He had already left the hospital and was getting prepared 351 00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:14,920 Speaker 2: for his flight. His office received a call about an 352 00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:19,480 Speaker 2: executive that had returned home from overseas and wasn't feeling well. 353 00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:23,639 Speaker 2: He continued to get worse. Before they knew it, his 354 00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:26,840 Speaker 2: health had gone down so quickly he was in a coma, 355 00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:31,160 Speaker 2: couldn't speak or talk. His organs were starting to shut down. 356 00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:34,600 Speaker 2: Doctor Price rushed back to the hospital. He discovered the 357 00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:39,000 Speaker 2: man had malaria. The infection was spreading so rapidly to 358 00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:43,000 Speaker 2: the other cells that another few hours and he would die. 359 00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:47,240 Speaker 2: The problem was doctor Price didn't have the stronger malaria 360 00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:50,160 Speaker 2: medicine that he needed. You have to get it from 361 00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:53,600 Speaker 2: the Center for Disease Control. He didn't have time to wait. 362 00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:57,160 Speaker 2: The men literally had a few hours to live. He 363 00:20:57,240 --> 00:20:59,719 Speaker 2: prayed for God to give him wisdom to show him 364 00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:02,920 Speaker 2: how to treat the man. He decided to do what's 365 00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:07,320 Speaker 2: called an exchange transfusion. That's where you take all the 366 00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:11,360 Speaker 2: patient's blood out and put new blood back in. It's 367 00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:15,159 Speaker 2: an unusual process, but he had no other options. The 368 00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:18,800 Speaker 2: first time they exchanged the blood, the infection went from 369 00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:23,960 Speaker 2: twenty percent down to just over six percent, a remarkable improvement, 370 00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:28,439 Speaker 2: but anything over five percent is lethal. He had a 371 00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:31,560 Speaker 2: long way to go. Doctor Price stayed there all night. 372 00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:36,119 Speaker 2: They did the exchange two more times. That Wednesday, the 373 00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:40,800 Speaker 2: man woke up from his coma. His organ started functioning properly. 374 00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:45,159 Speaker 2: On Friday, a week after he was admitted. He not 375 00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:48,760 Speaker 2: only walked out of the hospital with no infection, but 376 00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:52,919 Speaker 2: he didn't have any further complications. Doctor Price said he 377 00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:57,000 Speaker 2: had never seen anyone recover from such a severe. 378 00:21:56,680 --> 00:21:57,800 Speaker 1: Case of malaria. 379 00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:02,359 Speaker 2: That was God helping doctor Price to take new ground. 380 00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:06,639 Speaker 2: When you're a part of the Joshua generation, you're going 381 00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:11,320 Speaker 2: to have wisdom that goes beyond your normal understanding, beyond 382 00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:18,119 Speaker 2: what you learned in school. Ideas, creativity, strategy, inventions. 383 00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:19,120 Speaker 1: That defy the odds. 384 00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:23,960 Speaker 2: You're going to have ability, opportunity, influence to where you 385 00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:26,840 Speaker 2: know it's the hand of God. You know it's his 386 00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:29,960 Speaker 2: favor taking you where you couldn't go on your own. 387 00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:34,840 Speaker 2: Pal One ten says, the Lord will extend your dominion 388 00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:40,000 Speaker 2: from Jerusalem. You will rule over your enemies. Jerusalem was 389 00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:44,600 Speaker 2: their home. They were used to having protection, favor, blessing there. 390 00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:45,720 Speaker 1: That was normal. 391 00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:50,400 Speaker 2: But God said, I'm about to do something unusual, out 392 00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:54,480 Speaker 2: of the ordinary. I'm going to increase you beyond what 393 00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:57,880 Speaker 2: you're used to. I'm gonna take you beyond what you've 394 00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:01,040 Speaker 2: seen in the past. I'm going to give you new ground. 395 00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:05,119 Speaker 2: God is saying that to you. I'm about to extend 396 00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:11,400 Speaker 2: your dominion, extend your income, extend your influence, extend your wisdom, 397 00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:15,960 Speaker 2: extend your talent, extend your anointing. You may have been 398 00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:19,320 Speaker 2: blessed in the past, but you haven't seen anything yet. 399 00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:22,520 Speaker 1: God is about to enlurd your territory. 400 00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:26,040 Speaker 2: He is going to give you ground that you didn't 401 00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:30,600 Speaker 2: grow up with. It says, the Lord will extend your 402 00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:33,520 Speaker 2: dominion again. You don't have to make this happen in 403 00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:37,800 Speaker 2: your own efforts. Just keep honoring God, keep him first place, 404 00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:40,600 Speaker 2: and God is going to open doors that. 405 00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:41,560 Speaker 1: You didn't see coming. 406 00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:44,320 Speaker 2: You're going to think, how did I get here? How 407 00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:46,639 Speaker 2: did I take all this ground? How did we end 408 00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:50,040 Speaker 2: up in the compact center? It was the Lord extending 409 00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:55,240 Speaker 2: our dominion. Where you are is not your final destination. 410 00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:59,119 Speaker 2: It is not where you're staying. You're the Joshua generation. 411 00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:06,159 Speaker 2: Ground is coming, new opportunities, new levels, Like Joshua. You 412 00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:09,359 Speaker 2: may have some walls in front of you, big obstacles. 413 00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:12,320 Speaker 1: Don't worry. It's no match for our God. 414 00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:17,159 Speaker 2: Keep praising, keep believing, keep expecting, and the Lord is 415 00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:18,680 Speaker 2: going to extend your dominion. 416 00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:20,920 Speaker 1: God is going to bring walls. 417 00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:24,840 Speaker 2: Down and take you further than you ever dream. It 418 00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:28,240 Speaker 2: goes on to say you will rule over your enemies. 419 00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:32,439 Speaker 2: It's one thing to defeat your enemies. That's good, but 420 00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:35,919 Speaker 2: an enemy can recover, get back up and come at 421 00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:39,800 Speaker 2: you again. You can beat an addiction and two years 422 00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:43,760 Speaker 2: later fall back. You can overcome an illness. There are 423 00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:47,840 Speaker 2: times when it comes back. But God says about you, 424 00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:51,440 Speaker 2: you will rule over your enemies. That means you won't 425 00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:56,320 Speaker 2: just defeat them, you will keep them defeated. That addiction 426 00:24:56,600 --> 00:24:59,320 Speaker 2: is not going to be on and off, on and 427 00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:02,680 Speaker 2: off to rule over it. You're not going to live 428 00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:06,480 Speaker 2: up and down depressed one week, okay, the next You're 429 00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:11,879 Speaker 2: going to rule over depression, rule over anger, rule over alcohol, 430 00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:16,560 Speaker 2: rule over poverty. God is putting an end to what's 431 00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:20,040 Speaker 2: been hindering you. You may have struggled with it in 432 00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:23,240 Speaker 2: the past, but this is a new day. You're about 433 00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:27,879 Speaker 2: to rule over every enemy. Walls are coming down. You 434 00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:32,320 Speaker 2: are the Joshua generation. You are not going to wander 435 00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:38,080 Speaker 2: in the wilderness, defeated, lonely, addicted poverty, or get ready. 436 00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:39,640 Speaker 1: To come into the promised land. 437 00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:44,120 Speaker 2: Get ready for freedom, get ready for abundance. You are 438 00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:46,920 Speaker 2: not going to be at this same place next year 439 00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:50,600 Speaker 2: as you are right now. God is about to enlarge 440 00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:54,680 Speaker 2: your territory. New doors are about to open.

We don't see anything happening, and 463 00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:08,359 Speaker 2: God tell us it's not going to work out.
