They were especially intrigued by the elevator. 39 00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:03,600 Speaker 5: They didn't know what it was. This elderly woman walked 40 00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:06,800 Speaker 5: up and pushed a button. The walls opened up. She 41 00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:09,799 Speaker 5: stepped into a little room, the walls closed back up. 42 00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:13,160 Speaker 5: They sat there contemplating what they had just seen. In 43 00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:15,960 Speaker 5: a few seconds, the same walls opened back up, and 44 00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:20,079 Speaker 5: a beautiful twenty four year old girl stepped out, almost 45 00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:23,720 Speaker 5: in disbelieve. The son said, Dad, what just happened? He said, 46 00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:28,040 Speaker 5: I don't know, son, but go get your mother. Say 47 00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:30,920 Speaker 5: it like you mean it. This is my Bible. I 48 00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:33,320 Speaker 5: am what it says I am. I have what it 49 00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:35,720 Speaker 5: says I have. I can do what it says I 50 00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:38,959 Speaker 5: can do. Today I will be taught the word of God. 51 00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:43,760 Speaker 5: I boldly confess. My mind is alert, my heart is receptive. 52 00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:47,560 Speaker 5: I will never be the same. In Jesus' name, God 53 00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:51,400 Speaker 5: bless you. I want to talk to you today about 54 00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:53,480 Speaker 5: the open windows of heaven. 55 00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:56,120 Speaker 4: We all come to places. 56 00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:58,760 Speaker 5: In life where we reach our limits. We've gone as 57 00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:02,520 Speaker 5: far as our education allows. The medical report says we're 58 00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:05,360 Speaker 5: not going to get well. We've tried to break the addiction, 59 00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:07,720 Speaker 5: but haven't been able to do it. 60 00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:08,520 Speaker 4: It's easy to. 61 00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:11,040 Speaker 5: Settle where we are and think that it's never going 62 00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:15,000 Speaker 5: to change. But the scripture says in Malachi, when you 63 00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:19,000 Speaker 5: honor God with your giving, he will open the windows 64 00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:22,600 Speaker 5: of heaven and pour out blessings that you cannot contain. 65 00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:26,520 Speaker 5: You may have reached your limits on your own. There 66 00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:28,919 Speaker 5: are obstacles you can't seem to overcome. 67 00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:31,120 Speaker 4: The good news is you're. 68 00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:34,960 Speaker 5: Not on your own because you're a giver, because you're 69 00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:35,880 Speaker 5: honoring God. 70 00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:40,000 Speaker 4: You are under the open windows of heaven. If you'll 71 00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:41,280 Speaker 4: get your passion. 72 00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:45,440 Speaker 5: Back, start believing again, start expecting again. God is going 73 00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:49,960 Speaker 5: to rain down favor, rain down good breaks, rain down abundance. 74 00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:53,840 Speaker 5: The medical report may not look good, but under the 75 00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:58,400 Speaker 5: open windows of heaven, healing is raining down. God can 76 00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:01,640 Speaker 5: do what medicine cannot do. He has the final say. 77 00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:04,800 Speaker 5: You may have gone as far as you can in 78 00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:08,960 Speaker 5: your career, but under the open windows of heaven increases 79 00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:13,800 Speaker 5: raining down, divine connections, opportunities. You haven't been able to 80 00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:18,200 Speaker 5: break that addiction. Don't accept it as the way it's always. 81 00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:18,320 Speaker 4: Going to be. 82 00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:22,920 Speaker 5: You have an advantage. You're under the open windows of heaven. 83 00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:26,479 Speaker 5: It's just a matter of time before freedom rains down. 84 00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:30,640 Speaker 5: But sometimes we think we're at a disadvantage. We don't 85 00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:33,000 Speaker 5: have the talent we need, we don't have the connections 86 00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:36,680 Speaker 5: the experience Joel. If I was taller, if I had 87 00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:39,280 Speaker 5: a better personality, if I knew the right people, then 88 00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:43,839 Speaker 5: I could be successful. If you think you're at a disadvantage, 89 00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:47,599 Speaker 5: you will live at a disadvantage. If you think lack, 90 00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:51,000 Speaker 5: you're going to have lack. Instead of thinking I'm at 91 00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:53,520 Speaker 5: a deficit, I'm lacking. Turn it around. 92 00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:56,400 Speaker 4: I'm under the open windows of heaven. 93 00:04:56,960 --> 00:05:00,479 Speaker 5: I have everything I need and abundance of talent and 94 00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:05,360 Speaker 5: abundance of ideas, abundance of strength, abundance of health. Get 95 00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:09,320 Speaker 5: rid of a lack mentality and have an abundant mentality. 96 00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:12,520 Speaker 5: You may not have seen it yet, but don't worry. 97 00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:16,640 Speaker 5: Your time is coming. God is about to do something unusual, 98 00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:21,719 Speaker 5: something extraordinary, something that you haven't seen. He said, he 99 00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:25,239 Speaker 5: would pour out blessings that you don't have room enough 100 00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:29,000 Speaker 5: to contain. That means, if you have room, you haven't 101 00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:31,280 Speaker 5: seen the fullness of what God is going to do. 102 00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:34,560 Speaker 5: He's going to give you so many opportunities. 103 00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:37,440 Speaker 4: You can't take them all. You have to pick and choose. 104 00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:41,600 Speaker 5: So many clients, so much business you have to send 105 00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:45,719 Speaker 5: some to your coworkers, so many resources. 106 00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:46,040 Speaker 4: So many savings. 107 00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:49,280 Speaker 5: You have to pass them to your children, your grandchildren. 108 00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:53,040 Speaker 5: And not just material things, but so much joy that 109 00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:56,839 Speaker 5: you can share joy wherever you go. So much peace, strength, 110 00:05:56,839 --> 00:06:01,640 Speaker 5: stability that instead of needing to be in you're the encourager, 111 00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:04,599 Speaker 5: you're the lifter, You're the one that brings a smile 112 00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:09,040 Speaker 5: to people's face. This phrase open windows of heaven is 113 00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:11,760 Speaker 5: found another place in the scripture. It's when the flood 114 00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:15,400 Speaker 5: came in Noah's day. God said he opened the windows 115 00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:19,880 Speaker 5: of heaven. What happened, water covered the whole earth. Wasn't 116 00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:22,240 Speaker 5: a little sprinkle, a minor event. 117 00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:23,000 Speaker 4: It was a. 118 00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:27,440 Speaker 5: Major flood, a huge downpour. When God says he's going 119 00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:30,599 Speaker 5: to open the windows of heaven in your life, that 120 00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:33,160 Speaker 5: doesn't mean he's going to help you through the day 121 00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:36,239 Speaker 5: or give you strength to get past a problem. That's good, 122 00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:39,880 Speaker 5: we're grateful for everything, but that's not what this is 123 00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:43,440 Speaker 5: talking about. God is going to send a flood of 124 00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:47,240 Speaker 5: his goodness. He's going to do something major where you 125 00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:50,440 Speaker 5: step back and say, wow, I didn't see that coming. 126 00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:56,040 Speaker 5: There will be blessings you cannot contain and you cannot explain. 127 00:06:56,800 --> 00:06:59,440 Speaker 4: All you can say was that was the goodness of God. 128 00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:02,839 Speaker 5: I know a lady that was diagnosed with a tumor 129 00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:05,880 Speaker 5: under her arm. She'd gone through all the tests and 130 00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:09,880 Speaker 5: X rays and they discovered it was cancerous. She had 131 00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:13,080 Speaker 5: been scheduled to have surgery to have it removed, and 132 00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:16,120 Speaker 5: she went in that morning. The doctors wanted to take 133 00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:19,600 Speaker 5: more X rays just to verify before the operation. She 134 00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:22,840 Speaker 5: had already been prepped, had the iv N about to 135 00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:26,400 Speaker 5: go into the operating room. The doctor came out scratching 136 00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:29,760 Speaker 5: his head. He said, in twenty six years of practicing, 137 00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:32,800 Speaker 5: I've never seen this, but the tumor is no longer there. 138 00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:35,200 Speaker 4: You could see it on one X ray, but not 139 00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:37,720 Speaker 4: the next. How could this be? 140 00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:42,840 Speaker 5: She lives under the open windows of heaven. When God 141 00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:47,559 Speaker 5: rains down healing. Cancer can't stay. When he rains down, joy, 142 00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:51,760 Speaker 5: depression has to go. When He rains down favor good breaks. 143 00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:55,040 Speaker 5: It's going to thrust you to the next level. You're 144 00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:57,960 Speaker 5: not going to be able to explain it. You weren't 145 00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:01,120 Speaker 5: the most qualified, you weren't next in line. You shouldn't 146 00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:04,320 Speaker 5: have been chosen to look up, and you're further than 147 00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:05,200 Speaker 5: you ever dreamed. 148 00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:08,920 Speaker 4: What happened? The heavens opened up, God rained. 149 00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:11,520 Speaker 5: Down, increase took you where you could not go on 150 00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:14,880 Speaker 5: your own. In this year of yes, you're going to 151 00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:19,160 Speaker 5: see things that you cannot explain, like with this lady. 152 00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:24,400 Speaker 5: The medical report suddenly turns around your business suddenly takes off. 153 00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:26,679 Speaker 4: You suddenly break the addiction. 154 00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:31,600 Speaker 5: You've been faithful, you've given, you've served. Get ready. The 155 00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:35,040 Speaker 5: heavens are about to open up. God is going to 156 00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:39,240 Speaker 5: do something that you've never seen. It's going to be 157 00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:44,520 Speaker 5: a bountiful year, an abundant year, a prosperous year. Problems 158 00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:48,679 Speaker 5: that looked permanent are suddenly going to turn around. Doors 159 00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:51,760 Speaker 5: that have been closed for years are suddenly going to open. 160 00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:55,800 Speaker 5: You're not going to have to go after opportunity. Opportunity 161 00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:58,400 Speaker 5: is going to come after you. Now do your part 162 00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:01,280 Speaker 5: all through the day. Father, Thank you that I'm under 163 00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:04,640 Speaker 5: the open windows of heaven. Thank you that you're pouring 164 00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:08,880 Speaker 5: out blessings that I cannot contain. Your mind may tell 165 00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:11,959 Speaker 5: you this is not going to happen for you. Nothing's 166 00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:15,960 Speaker 5: going to change. Don't believe those lies. Keep thanking God 167 00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:19,800 Speaker 5: for what He's about to do. Praise causes the heavens 168 00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:23,520 Speaker 5: to open. Living worried discourage complaining. 169 00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:26,079 Speaker 4: That keeps the rain from coming down. 170 00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:29,240 Speaker 5: You may not see how it can happen, but this 171 00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:30,600 Speaker 5: is what faith is all about. 172 00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:33,559 Speaker 4: God. I don't see a way, but I know you 173 00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:34,200 Speaker 4: have a way. 174 00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:38,120 Speaker 5: My circumstances say that I'm stuck, but I'm not moved 175 00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:40,280 Speaker 5: by what I see. I'm moved by what I know, 176 00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:43,360 Speaker 5: and I know I'm under the open windows of heaven. 177 00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:47,320 Speaker 5: When you get this down in your spirit, you won't 178 00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:50,000 Speaker 5: be intimidated by the size of your dreams. 179 00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:53,760 Speaker 4: You won't be discouraged by problems. You won't live thinking 180 00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:55,200 Speaker 4: you're at a disadvantage. 181 00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:59,640 Speaker 5: You'll have a confidence and expectancy of knowing that it 182 00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:02,400 Speaker 5: is a moment the heavens are going to open up. 183 00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:06,400 Speaker 5: I talked to a young man this battling cancer. He 184 00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:09,360 Speaker 5: lives in another state, and he would fly into Houston 185 00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:10,400 Speaker 5: for treatment at M. 186 00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:11,200 Speaker 4: D Anderson. 187 00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:14,040 Speaker 5: It got to the place where it was so expensive 188 00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:17,439 Speaker 5: he couldn't keep flying back and forth, so he started driving. 189 00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:21,400 Speaker 5: He would take the treatment and then drive home by himself. 190 00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:25,520 Speaker 5: Nine hours. He heard a message on becoming a giver 191 00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:29,520 Speaker 5: and tithing your income. He had all these medical bills 192 00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:33,360 Speaker 5: and travel expenses. It didn't make sense to his mind, 193 00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:36,720 Speaker 5: but something in his heart told him he needed to 194 00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:37,120 Speaker 5: take a. 195 00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:38,960 Speaker 4: Step of faith and become a giver. 196 00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:44,000 Speaker 5: Nobody pressured him, but he started tithing. A month later, 197 00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:48,400 Speaker 5: his boss called and asked about his travel arrangements. He 198 00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:50,640 Speaker 5: explained how he used to fly, but now it was 199 00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:54,320 Speaker 5: too expensive. He was driving. His boss said, I don't 200 00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:56,959 Speaker 5: want you to drive anymore. I want you to start 201 00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:59,880 Speaker 5: flying and put all of your flights, all of your. 202 00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:04,280 Speaker 4: Travel on our company credit card. This young man was 203 00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:05,040 Speaker 4: so amazed. 204 00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:09,280 Speaker 5: He said, my boss knew about my situation for over 205 00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:11,479 Speaker 5: a year, but as soon. 206 00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:15,480 Speaker 4: As I started tithing, this happened. What was that he. 207 00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:19,520 Speaker 5: Stepped under the open windows of heaven. When you do 208 00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:23,440 Speaker 5: your part, God will do his part. He'll cause people 209 00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:25,960 Speaker 5: to be good to you. He'll open doors that you 210 00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:30,520 Speaker 5: can't open. The same God that sent provision can send healing. 211 00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:33,520 Speaker 5: He can send the person of your dreams. He can 212 00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:36,920 Speaker 5: send the breakthrough. Like this young man, You're about to 213 00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:40,680 Speaker 5: see the heavens open up. God is going to surprise you. 214 00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:43,360 Speaker 5: People are going to go out of their way to 215 00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:48,240 Speaker 5: be good to you. Contracts, scholarships, opportunities are going to 216 00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:51,280 Speaker 5: come looking for you. You're not going to have to force 217 00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:54,400 Speaker 5: it to happen, try to persuade people to be for you. 218 00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:57,160 Speaker 4: God is going to cause it to fall into place. 219 00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:02,640 Speaker 5: Quit worrying about the legal sitution, Quit losing sleep. 220 00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:06,400 Speaker 4: Over that problem. At work. The battle is not yours. 221 00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:07,959 Speaker 4: The battle is the Lord's. 222 00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:14,480 Speaker 5: He's your vindicator. He's protecting your reputation. Stand still and 223 00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:17,640 Speaker 5: you will see the deliverance of the Lord. It's going 224 00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:20,520 Speaker 5: to happen sooner than you think. It's going to turn 225 00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:23,560 Speaker 5: out better than you thought. Now you have to let 226 00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:26,520 Speaker 5: the seed take root. Thoughts would say, all this is 227 00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:29,600 Speaker 5: not for you today. Don't let your mind talk you 228 00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:30,160 Speaker 5: out of it. 229 00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:31,000 Speaker 4: You're a giver. 230 00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:34,360 Speaker 5: You're planet in the house of the Lord. God is 231 00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:37,719 Speaker 5: promised he will open the windows of heaven. He will 232 00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:41,600 Speaker 5: pour out blessings you cannot contain. It goes on to say, 233 00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:46,400 Speaker 5: he will rebuke the devourer for your sake. That means 234 00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:52,360 Speaker 5: what would have devoured opportunity, devoured finances, caused you to 235 00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:56,120 Speaker 5: lose income, harm your children, spend on things that keep 236 00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:56,840 Speaker 5: breaking down. 237 00:12:57,360 --> 00:13:00,680 Speaker 4: Because you're a giver, God is going to rebuke the 238 00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:02,000 Speaker 4: devour for your sake. 239 00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:05,600 Speaker 5: It's one thing when we pray, it's good when we 240 00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:06,600 Speaker 5: stand against the. 241 00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:07,600 Speaker 4: Forces of darkness. 242 00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:11,720 Speaker 5: But when you're under the open windows of heaven, the 243 00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:15,240 Speaker 5: creator of the universe says, I'm going to rise up 244 00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:19,240 Speaker 5: and rebuke the devourer for you. You don't have to 245 00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:24,559 Speaker 5: live worried, uptight, in fear, on edge. You have a protector, 246 00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:28,400 Speaker 5: You have a defender. The Most High God is standing 247 00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:32,400 Speaker 5: guard over your life. There have been many times God 248 00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:35,439 Speaker 5: has rebuked the devourer and we knew nothing about it. 249 00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:39,520 Speaker 5: He kept you from that sickness. He protected you from 250 00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:43,000 Speaker 5: that accident. He kept that tree from falling on your house, 251 00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:46,719 Speaker 5: causing you so much in repairs. He kept that supervisor 252 00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:50,000 Speaker 5: from holding you back. It's good to thank God for 253 00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:54,240 Speaker 5: the blessing, the promotion, the favor, but sometimes you need 254 00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:56,080 Speaker 5: to thank God for what didn't happen. 255 00:13:56,640 --> 00:13:58,120 Speaker 4: Thank him that you didn't get sick. 256 00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:01,440 Speaker 5: Thank you that you didn't get laid, Thank him that 257 00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:05,280 Speaker 5: your child didn't get in trouble. That was God behind 258 00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:10,840 Speaker 5: the scenes, rebuking the devour for your sake. Genesis chapter one, 259 00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:15,000 Speaker 5: the earth was dark and without form. God said, let 260 00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:18,600 Speaker 5: there be light, and light came. He called the light 261 00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:22,680 Speaker 5: day and the darkness night. This was on the first 262 00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:27,360 Speaker 5: day of creation. What's interesting is God didn't create the 263 00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:31,520 Speaker 5: sun or the moon until the fourth day, yet he 264 00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:33,080 Speaker 5: had light from day one. 265 00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:35,480 Speaker 4: That doesn't make sense. How could that be. 266 00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:39,480 Speaker 5: The sun is our source for light, God was showing 267 00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:43,560 Speaker 5: us he can bless you without a source. He can 268 00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:46,000 Speaker 5: promote you without people being for you. 269 00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:49,560 Speaker 4: He can heal you without the treatment. 270 00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:53,720 Speaker 5: When the angel came to marry, he said, you're going 271 00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:57,680 Speaker 5: to have a baby without a man. In the Old Testament, 272 00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:01,200 Speaker 5: God brought water out of a rock, no late, no stream, 273 00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:05,360 Speaker 5: no source. When you look at your situation, you may 274 00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:08,640 Speaker 5: see all the reasons why you can't get well, why 275 00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:11,720 Speaker 5: you can't accomplish a dream, why you can't break the addiction. 276 00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:15,000 Speaker 5: You don't have what you need. But God is not 277 00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:16,840 Speaker 5: limited by what you don't have. 278 00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:21,640 Speaker 4: He doesn't have to have a traditional source. He's God. 279 00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:25,880 Speaker 5: He controls the universe. When he needs light, he doesn't 280 00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:29,440 Speaker 5: wait for the sun. He speaks, and he has light 281 00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:34,640 Speaker 5: without the sun. What God has destined for you he 282 00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:39,640 Speaker 5: can do without a bank, without the treatment, without the experience, 283 00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:43,680 Speaker 5: without the support. He may not do it a traditional way. 284 00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:47,760 Speaker 5: I know a man that had ninety percent of his 285 00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:51,840 Speaker 5: vocal cords removed. He had some kind of infection, kept 286 00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:55,400 Speaker 5: getting worse. Finally the doctors had to remove them. He 287 00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:58,400 Speaker 5: was told he would never speak again. He might be 288 00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:01,480 Speaker 5: able to make some sounds, but never speak. But he 289 00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:04,800 Speaker 5: talked to me like we're talking now. I couldn't tell 290 00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:08,320 Speaker 5: anything was wrong. The doctor said he was a medical 291 00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:13,320 Speaker 5: marvel an anomaly. They couldn't explain it. But when God 292 00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:16,080 Speaker 5: wants you to speak, he doesn't check with your vocal 293 00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:22,520 Speaker 5: cords what God has planned for you. He doesn't check 294 00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:25,880 Speaker 5: with your bank account. He doesn't check with your friends 295 00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:28,720 Speaker 5: to see if they approve. He doesn't check to see 296 00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:32,040 Speaker 5: if you have the talent. He speaks, and it becomes 297 00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:35,080 Speaker 5: He's going to bless you without a source. 298 00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:39,840 Speaker 4: You're going to see things happen and think, how. 299 00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:42,000 Speaker 5: Did I get here? How did I know how to 300 00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:44,280 Speaker 5: do this? How did we see this growth? How did 301 00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:47,200 Speaker 5: we get the compact center? That was God blessing us 302 00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:52,800 Speaker 5: without a source. This is what happened to Ruth in 303 00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:56,200 Speaker 5: the scripture. She was out in the fields picking up 304 00:16:56,320 --> 00:17:00,080 Speaker 5: left over wheat, trying to survive. God spoke to the 305 00:16:59,880 --> 00:17:02,920 Speaker 5: owner of the field, told him to leave wheat on 306 00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:06,320 Speaker 5: the ground on purpose for Ruth. Now she had more 307 00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:10,000 Speaker 5: than enough. She could finish in half the time. It 308 00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:13,800 Speaker 5: was like the windows of heaven opened up. She came 309 00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:17,000 Speaker 5: into an abundance, but she didn't see a source. 310 00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:20,040 Speaker 4: She didn't know that the owner was doing that. 311 00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:23,680 Speaker 5: God is going to make things happen where you don't 312 00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:27,240 Speaker 5: see a source. It's not going to be traditional. Quit 313 00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:30,440 Speaker 5: worrying because you don't see how your situation can work out. 314 00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:32,760 Speaker 5: God's ways are not our ways. 315 00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:35,199 Speaker 4: They are higher and better than our ways. 316 00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:41,200 Speaker 5: Sometimes we're waiting for the sun for light. God says, 317 00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:44,400 Speaker 5: I don't need the sun. I just speak and it happens. 318 00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:49,359 Speaker 5: In Asked, chapter eight, an Ethiopian man had traveled a 319 00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:53,560 Speaker 5: great distance to Jerusalem to worship in the temple. He 320 00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:57,480 Speaker 5: was the treasurer for the Queen of Sheba, an influential man. 321 00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:01,720 Speaker 5: On his way back home, he was writing in his chariot, 322 00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:05,840 Speaker 5: reading from the Book of Isaiah. Philip had been in 323 00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:10,639 Speaker 5: Samaria with Peter and John leading the church, having great success. 324 00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:14,600 Speaker 5: An angel appeared to Philip and told him to go 325 00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:18,600 Speaker 5: down to the desert road that runs from Jerusalem to Gaza. 326 00:18:19,359 --> 00:18:22,760 Speaker 5: I'm sure this didn't make much sense to Philip. Things 327 00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:25,359 Speaker 5: were going great in Samaria. Now he's supposed to go 328 00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:28,680 Speaker 5: to the desert. While he was there, he saw this 329 00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:33,400 Speaker 5: chariot passing by. With this Ethiopian man. God told him 330 00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:36,200 Speaker 5: to go catch the chariot. He took off run in 331 00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:39,200 Speaker 5: full speed and he caught up with it. He could 332 00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:42,280 Speaker 5: hear the man reading from the Book of Isaiah. He 333 00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:45,000 Speaker 5: asked him if he understood what he was reading. The 334 00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:47,760 Speaker 5: man said that he didn't. So Philip got up in 335 00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:51,800 Speaker 5: the chariot with him and begin to explain how Isaiah 336 00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:55,320 Speaker 5: was talking about how Jesus came as the Savior, and 337 00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:58,960 Speaker 5: he shared the good news. This man was so excited 338 00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:03,000 Speaker 5: he saw some water told his driver to stop the chariot. 339 00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:05,800 Speaker 5: He said to Philip, I want you to baptize me. 340 00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:06,720 Speaker 4: In water right here. 341 00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:11,840 Speaker 5: His whole life was changed from that one encounter. What's 342 00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:15,000 Speaker 5: interesting is this man wasn't looking for Philip. 343 00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:16,960 Speaker 4: He didn't even know Philip. 344 00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:22,159 Speaker 5: Philip chased him down an unexpected blessing. This man was 345 00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:25,280 Speaker 5: minding his own business, riding in his chariot. 346 00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:26,440 Speaker 4: Out of nowhere. 347 00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:30,560 Speaker 5: Philip showed up and gave him insight that took him 348 00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:35,119 Speaker 5: to the next level. Like this man, because you're a giver, 349 00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:38,960 Speaker 5: because you're honoring God, God is going to have the 350 00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:41,240 Speaker 5: right people search you out. 351 00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:44,880 Speaker 4: He's going to cause good breaks to find you. 352 00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:47,680 Speaker 5: You may not realize it, but right now there's a 353 00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:52,679 Speaker 5: Philip chasing your chariot. There are blessings God has ordained 354 00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:56,399 Speaker 5: to track you down, people that will use their influence, 355 00:19:56,720 --> 00:20:00,239 Speaker 5: their experience, to push you forward, to help you go 356 00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:01,480 Speaker 5: where you could. 357 00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:02,520 Speaker 4: Not go on your own. 358 00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:07,000 Speaker 5: Some Phillips are coming your way. This man was leaving 359 00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:11,040 Speaker 5: the temple when Philip found him. When you take time 360 00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:13,760 Speaker 5: to go to the House of the Lord, don't be 361 00:20:13,840 --> 00:20:17,320 Speaker 5: surprised if when you get home, if sometime this week, 362 00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:23,080 Speaker 5: sometime this month, Phillip shows up something unusual and unexpected blessing. 363 00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:28,600 Speaker 5: It's because you're under the open windows of heaven. When 364 00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:31,359 Speaker 5: I look back over my life, I can see the Phillips. 365 00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:34,959 Speaker 5: In my early twenties, I walked into a jewelry store 366 00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:36,800 Speaker 5: to buy a battery for my watch. 367 00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:38,639 Speaker 4: There was Philip, so to speak. 368 00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:43,320 Speaker 5: I met Victoria unexpectedly for the first time. She kept 369 00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:47,480 Speaker 5: chasing me down, finally caught me. That's my side of 370 00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:51,919 Speaker 5: the story. In two thousand and five, a book publisher 371 00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:54,880 Speaker 5: called me out of the blue asked if he could 372 00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:58,280 Speaker 5: publish my next book. I wasn't looking for him, we 373 00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:01,360 Speaker 5: already had a publisher, But when he made the offer, 374 00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:06,320 Speaker 5: I said, Hello Philip. A few years ago, an executive 375 00:21:06,359 --> 00:21:10,159 Speaker 5: from Serious XM satellite radio called and asked if I 376 00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:12,960 Speaker 5: would do an hour program on one of their channels 377 00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:15,400 Speaker 5: each week, and told him I wasn't interested in that. 378 00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:18,160 Speaker 5: He said, how about we give you your own channel. 379 00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:22,800 Speaker 4: I said, hello, Philip, I didn't go after it. It 380 00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:23,520 Speaker 4: came after me. 381 00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:28,119 Speaker 5: When you keep God first place, When you're a giver, 382 00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:32,800 Speaker 5: because you're under the open windows of heaven, blessings will 383 00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:33,520 Speaker 5: overtake you. 384 00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:37,359 Speaker 4: They'll catch you by surprise. You need to get ready. 385 00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:41,199 Speaker 5: Some Phillips are about to show up. Good breaks that 386 00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:44,120 Speaker 5: you didn't see coming, people that go out of their 387 00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:48,040 Speaker 5: way to be good to you, Opportunities that will thrust 388 00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:51,000 Speaker 5: you to the next level. You couldn't have made it happen, 389 00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:52,800 Speaker 5: like the Ethiopian man. 390 00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:55,280 Speaker 4: You didn't have the connections. You didn't even know them. 391 00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:59,400 Speaker 5: It was the hand of God. Maybe you're single believing 392 00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:02,879 Speaker 5: to meet the right person. You don't have to force 393 00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:06,280 Speaker 5: things to happen, try to convince people to like you, 394 00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:10,320 Speaker 5: compromise your values. Just stay on the high road, keep 395 00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:14,680 Speaker 5: honoring God. He'll have the right people find you. Philip 396 00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:18,920 Speaker 5: is on the way. Somebody better than you can imagine 397 00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:24,080 Speaker 5: for you, men, Phyllis is on the way. That's Philip's sister, 398 00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:28,840 Speaker 5: and she's good looking. That's not in the scripture, but 399 00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:32,280 Speaker 5: it should be. But here's what I've learned. You don't 400 00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:35,119 Speaker 5: have to seek after people. Seek after God. 401 00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:38,680 Speaker 4: He'll bring divine connections the right. 402 00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:43,439 Speaker 5: People that will move you further into your destiny. In 403 00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:47,080 Speaker 5: one Kings eighteen, there had been a drought in Samaria 404 00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:50,400 Speaker 5: for three and a half years, no water, no rain. 405 00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:55,320 Speaker 5: Crops had dried up, people had little food, struggling to survive. 406 00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:58,760 Speaker 5: The prophet Elijah could have said, God, it's not fair. 407 00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:02,640 Speaker 5: I'm a giver. I'm serving you, but I'm not under 408 00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:05,960 Speaker 5: the open windows of heaven. I'm in a drought. Instead 409 00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:10,520 Speaker 5: of complaining, Elijah went on top of Mount Carmel and 410 00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:14,040 Speaker 5: begin to thank God that the rain was coming. I 411 00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:16,439 Speaker 5: can hear him say, Lord, thank you that rain is 412 00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:19,359 Speaker 5: on the way. Thank you that you're changing things in 413 00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:23,040 Speaker 5: my favor. He sent his assistant out to see if 414 00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:26,000 Speaker 5: there were any clouds in the sky. The men came 415 00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:30,000 Speaker 5: back and said, in effect, no, sorry, Elijah, your praise 416 00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:33,560 Speaker 5: isn't doing any good. There aren't any clouds. It's perfectly clear. 417 00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:37,920 Speaker 4: This is when many people give up and get discouraged. Gord. 418 00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:40,399 Speaker 5: I've been given, I've been coming, I've been helping others, 419 00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:42,320 Speaker 5: but nothing has changed. 420 00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:43,719 Speaker 4: I'm still in a drought. 421 00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:47,280 Speaker 5: When Elijah heard the news that there were no clouds, 422 00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:51,040 Speaker 5: instead of being discouraged, I can imagine that he turned 423 00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:54,119 Speaker 5: up his praise Lord, thank you that you're opening the 424 00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:55,040 Speaker 5: windows of heaven. 425 00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:58,680 Speaker 4: Thank you that rain is on the way. He sent 426 00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:02,000 Speaker 4: the man back again and again and again. Sam answer, 427 00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:02,879 Speaker 4: no clouds. 428 00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:07,320 Speaker 5: But on the seventh time, the men came back and said, 429 00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:09,600 Speaker 5: this time I saw something different. 430 00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:10,840 Speaker 4: Wasn't much. 431 00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:13,240 Speaker 5: Don't get your hopes up, but I saw a little 432 00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:18,480 Speaker 5: cloud up in the sky. Elijah sent word to King Ahab, saying, 433 00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:20,400 Speaker 5: I hear the sound. 434 00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:24,200 Speaker 4: Of the abundance of rain. Here's the key. 435 00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:29,600 Speaker 5: Elijah heard rain in his spirit before he saw rain 436 00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:34,240 Speaker 5: on the outside. God always puts things in your spirit 437 00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:37,480 Speaker 5: before they come to pass. That's why you have to 438 00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:41,359 Speaker 5: latch on the promises in the middle of struggle and lack. 439 00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:45,040 Speaker 5: You have to hear abundance in loneliness. You have to 440 00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:49,359 Speaker 5: hear friendships in sickness. You have to hear health in. 441 00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:51,920 Speaker 4: Trouble and opposition. You need to hear victory. 442 00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:56,840 Speaker 5: Elijah told King Ahab, you better get in your chariot 443 00:24:57,280 --> 00:24:58,120 Speaker 5: and take off. 444 00:24:58,320 --> 00:24:59,240 Speaker 4: There's about to be a. 445 00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:03,880 Speaker 5: Huge down Ahab got in that chariot he headed out 446 00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:07,280 Speaker 5: as fast as he could, God his horses going. 447 00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:08,119 Speaker 4: Full speed ahead. 448 00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:14,000 Speaker 5: The scripture says that God gave Elijah special strength. He 449 00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:18,359 Speaker 5: tucked in his cloak and ran ahead of Ahab's. 450 00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:21,040 Speaker 4: Chariot all the way to the next city. He out 451 00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:22,360 Speaker 4: ran a chariot. 452 00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:26,440 Speaker 5: When you're under the open windows of heaven, God will 453 00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:28,040 Speaker 5: help you accomplish. 454 00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:30,000 Speaker 4: Things that you could not accomplish on your own. 455 00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:34,480 Speaker 5: Philip caught up to a chariot, helped the Ethiopian man. 456 00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:38,200 Speaker 4: Elijah out ran a chariot, goes on to town. 457 00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:41,120 Speaker 5: How the heavens opened up. The three and a half 458 00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:43,879 Speaker 5: year draft came to an end. There was a huge downpour. 459 00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:48,639 Speaker 5: What Elijah heard in his spirit suddenly came to pass. 460 00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:52,640 Speaker 5: The things you've been hearing in your spirit, the abundance, 461 00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:56,679 Speaker 5: the dreams, the healing, the child coming back home, meeting 462 00:25:56,720 --> 00:25:59,520 Speaker 5: the right person. You've heard it on the inside. 463 00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:00,920 Speaker 4: It's taken root. 464 00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:05,560 Speaker 5: Like Elijah, it's about to suddenly happen. You've been praying, 465 00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:07,840 Speaker 5: thanking God, doing the right thing. 466 00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:11,120 Speaker 4: Get ready. The heavens are about to open up. 467 00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:14,840 Speaker 5: You're going to see an abundance of favor, an abundance 468 00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:19,480 Speaker 5: of joy, and abundance of healing. That drought is not 469 00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:21,840 Speaker 5: just going to come to an end. You're going to 470 00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:25,679 Speaker 5: outrun the chariot. You're going to go further than you 471 00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:29,720 Speaker 5: ever imagined. You're going to discover ability that you didn't 472 00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:32,680 Speaker 5: know was in you. God is going to bless you 473 00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:36,600 Speaker 5: without a source. Quit focusing on what you don't have. 474 00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:41,000 Speaker 5: All Elijah had was a little cloud, no chance for 475 00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:44,920 Speaker 5: rain in the natural. But we serve a supernatural God. 476 00:26:45,440 --> 00:26:49,399 Speaker 5: He can give water without rain, light without the sun, 477 00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:53,880 Speaker 5: healing without the treatment, promotion, without people being for you. 478 00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:56,399 Speaker 4: Now all through the day, Father. 479 00:26:56,240 --> 00:27:00,160 Speaker 5: Thank you that I'm under the open windows of heaven, 480 00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:01,480 Speaker 5: abundant mentality. 481 00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:04,720 Speaker 4: If you'll do this, I believe and declare. 482 00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:08,800 Speaker 5: God is about to pour out blessings that you cannot contain. 483 00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:12,280 Speaker 5: The phillips are about to catch up to your chariot, 484 00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:19,879 Speaker 5: unexpected favor, divine connections, healing, breakthroughs, the fullness of your destiny. 485 00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:22,560 Speaker 4: I declare it in the name of Jesus.
