Speaker 5: Enjoy the message.
Speaker 4: Well, God bless you. Bill. Very overjoyed to come to
Speaker 4: you from the beautiful AT and T Ballpark in San Francisco, California.
Speaker 4: I'm with some of the finest people in all of
Speaker 4: San Francisco right here. Love having you with us as well.
Speaker 4: I always start with something funny, and I heard about
Speaker 4: this man. He called the church office and said, I
Speaker 4: want to speak to the head hog at the trough.
Speaker 4: The secretary was offended. She said, if you mean the pastor,
Speaker 4: you're going to have to call him pastor, but you
Speaker 4: may not call him the head hog at the trough.
Speaker 4: He said, we'll find. But I was thinking about making
Speaker 4: a five thousand dollars donation to your church. She said,
Speaker 4: hang on, Porky just walked in. Would you say it
Speaker 4: with me? This is my Bible. I am what it
Speaker 4: says I am. I have what it says I have.
Speaker 4: I can do what it says I can do. Tonight
Speaker 4: I will be talked to word of God. I boldly
Speaker 4: confess my mind is alert, my heart is receptive. I
Speaker 4: will never be the same in Jesus, Amen, God bless you.
Speaker 4: I want to talk to you today about the second touch.
Speaker 4: In the scripture, some people brought a blind man to Jesus.
Speaker 4: You'd never been able to see, and Jesus made mud
Speaker 4: in his hands and put it on the man's eyes.
Speaker 4: Instantly his eyes were open. You can imagine how thrilled
Speaker 4: he was. For the first time he could see light, color, trees,
Speaker 4: the sky. He was overcome with excitement. His life had
Speaker 4: just totally changed. Then Jesus asked him an interesting question.
Speaker 4: He said to the man, what do you see. It's
Speaker 4: as if Jesus already knew something wasn't quite perfect. The
Speaker 4: man answered back, I can see, but I see men
Speaker 4: walking as trees. He was saying, I'm grateful that I
Speaker 4: can see, but it's blurry, not complaining, thankful that I
Speaker 4: have any sight, but everything is out of focus. Jesus
Speaker 4: could have walked away, said well, I made it much better.
Speaker 4: Be on your way, have a great life. That could
Speaker 4: have been the end of the story. But God didn't
Speaker 4: come to just make you better, to make you okay,
Speaker 4: to make you get by. He came to make you
Speaker 4: totally whole, to live an abundant, healthy, happy, free, victorious life.
Speaker 4: The scripture says Jesus touched the blind man again. On
Speaker 4: this second touch, his eyes were completely healed. Everything came
Speaker 4: into focus. Now he had perfect vision. Many of us
Speaker 4: are like this blind man. We've seen God's goodness. He's
Speaker 4: helped us to get to where we are. We're grateful
Speaker 4: even though we haven't broken the addiction, even though we
Speaker 4: haven't accomplished a dream, even though a child is still
Speaker 4: off course, we're thankful for what God has done. Like
Speaker 4: the blind man, He's made it a whole lot better.
Speaker 4: While we shouldn't be content where we are, we shouldn't
Speaker 4: be satisfied with mediocrity. Too often we settle for less
Speaker 4: than God's best, thinking, I'll never break this addiction, but
Speaker 4: at least I've learned to live with it. I'll never
Speaker 4: get married, but at least I have a few friends.
Speaker 4: I'll never get out of debt, Joel, but at least
Speaker 4: I can pay my bills. You're right where the blind
Speaker 4: man was saying. Everything is blurry, but at least I
Speaker 4: can see something. I'm not complaining. I'm satisfied to be better.
Speaker 4: Here's the key. You may be satisfied, but God is
Speaker 4: not satisfied. He has a second touch come in your way.
Speaker 4: The second touch is when you come totally out of debt,
Speaker 4: when you're free from the addiction, when the medical report
Speaker 4: says no more sickness, when your whole family comes to
Speaker 4: know the Lord. The second touch is when God, God
Speaker 4: opens doors you never dreamed would open. When he amazes
Speaker 4: you with his goodness. Be grateful for what God has done,
Speaker 4: but don't be satisfied with better. God didn't create us
Speaker 4: to reach half of our destiny. Three fourths or ninety
Speaker 4: percent of what God started in your life He's going
Speaker 4: to bring to completion. Now I'm not just trying to
Speaker 4: encourage you, trying to make you feel better. I'm prophesying
Speaker 4: a second touch is come in your way. And when
Speaker 4: this second touch kicks in, you're going to see favor
Speaker 4: that you've never seen. The right people are going to
Speaker 4: show up, freedom from strongholds, a new level of your destiny.
Speaker 4: Now you have to let this seed take root. You
Speaker 4: have to get in agreement with God. He can't go
Speaker 4: around thinking that you've reached your limits. You'll never get well,
Speaker 4: never be promoted, joelong, never see clearly. It's been blurry
Speaker 4: for so long in my life. Thinking like that will
Speaker 4: stop God's best. Quit declaring defeat over your life. Quit
Speaker 4: prophesying mediocrity. It may be blurry, but it's not a
Speaker 4: surprise to God. He's not scratching his head thinking why
Speaker 4: didn't they get clear vision. God controls the whole universe.
Speaker 4: He has all power. What he's destined for your life
Speaker 4: will come to pass now. It may not happen all
Speaker 4: at once while we're waiting. That's a test of our faith.
Speaker 4: Don't get discouraged when things happen you don't understand. Don't
Speaker 4: give up. You always face your greatest opposition when you're
Speaker 4: closest to your victory. The enemy wouldn't be fighting you
Speaker 4: so hard if he didn't know. God had something amazing
Speaker 4: in front of you. You have to dig your heels in. Say.
Speaker 4: It may be blurry, may be taking a long time.
Speaker 4: I don't understand it, but I know a secret. The
Speaker 4: Second Touch is coming. God is still on the throne.
Speaker 4: His plans will to be are for good, and any
Speaker 4: moment things could change in my favor. When you live
Speaker 4: with this expectancy, that's what allows God to do great things.
Speaker 4: You don't know. The Second Touch could happen today. You
Speaker 4: could meet the person of your dreams tomorrow. That health
Speaker 4: issue could turn around. The loan could go through this week.
Speaker 4: There are second touches already ordained to come across your path.
Speaker 4: God doesn't do things half hearted. He's the author and
Speaker 4: the finisher. It may look impossible, but God can do
Speaker 4: the impossible. People may try to talk you out of it,
Speaker 4: but people don't have the final say. God does get
Speaker 4: up every morning and think him for your second touch. Lord,
Speaker 4: I'm grateful that I have a job. I'm grateful that
Speaker 4: I can pay my bills, but I'm still in debt. God,
Speaker 4: I'm asking for your second touch. The second touch is
Speaker 4: when you come into overflow, when you come into more
Speaker 4: than enough. For Lord, I'm feeling better, I make it
Speaker 4: in progress, but I'm still struggling with this illness. Lord,
Speaker 4: I'm asking for the completion of your healing. Or God,
Speaker 4: I went through a bad break. I lost a loved one.
Speaker 4: It's kind of blurry in my life right now. God,
Speaker 4: I'm asking, just like you did for that blind man,
Speaker 4: touch me again. Restore my joy, my passion, my vision. God,
Speaker 4: give me a new beginning. I spoke along these lines
Speaker 4: a while back about how God can suddenly shift things.
Speaker 4: I received a letter from a young man that plays
Speaker 4: high school football. He told how when he heard me
Speaker 4: say this phrase that a shift is coming, something came
Speaker 4: alive on the inside. He didn't just hear it think
Speaker 4: oh yeah right, it's not gonna happen for me. He
Speaker 4: let the seed take root. He started telling people a
Speaker 4: shift was coming. He was the running back on his team,
Speaker 4: and people told him he was too small, that he
Speaker 4: would never be successful playing football, that he should try
Speaker 4: another sport. The team was playing very badly, losing game
Speaker 4: after game. He was so fired up he got his
Speaker 4: whole team saying this before the game, that a shift
Speaker 4: is coming. Things are changing in our favor. He started
Speaker 4: playing better and better. They made the playoffs. In the
Speaker 4: state final, he scored four touchdowns in one game, the
Speaker 4: most of his career, plus the winning touchdown with two
Speaker 4: seconds left in the game. He was named the ABC
Speaker 4: High School Player of the Week. In their yearbook, they
Speaker 4: could put one quote under their picture. His quote was,
Speaker 4: A shift is coming. I wonder what would happen if
Speaker 4: we would go out with this same expectancy, believing that
Speaker 4: the second touch is coming, not just hearing a message,
Speaker 4: but letting a seed take root, expecting a dream to
Speaker 4: come to pass, expecting to get healthy in home, expecting
Speaker 4: God to finish what he started. Well, Joel, this sounds good,
Speaker 4: but I've had some setbacks. I've been taking this treatment
Speaker 4: for cancer on and off for the last ten years.
Speaker 4: That's why I'm discouraged. I don't think I'll ever get well.
Speaker 4: Just because you gave up doesn't mean God gave up.
Speaker 4: God is not satisfied with better. He's gonna take you
Speaker 4: to the fullness of your destiny. David said, God lifted
Speaker 4: me out of a pit and set my feet upon
Speaker 4: a rock. Sometimes even though we're content to stay in
Speaker 4: the pit, God is not content. He's not gonna give
Speaker 4: you a choice. He's gonna lift you out of that pit.
Speaker 4: He's gonna set your feet towards your destiny. You didn't
Speaker 4: think it's gonna happen. You thought you were stuck where
Speaker 4: you are. But then one touch of God's favor. Suddenly
Speaker 4: your health improved, Suddenly you met the right person. Suddenly
Speaker 4: a new door of opportunity was in anything you did.
Speaker 4: It was simply the goodness of God his second touch.
Speaker 4: One Kings, chapter nineteen. The prophet Elijah had just seen
Speaker 4: one of the greatest victories of his life. Four hundred
Speaker 4: false prophets that worshiped the God bail had come against him.
Speaker 4: Elijah said to them, since you think your God is real,
Speaker 4: let's have a contest. They both put wood on an altar.
Speaker 4: The God that lit the wood on fire would be
Speaker 4: the true God. Elijah let them go first. They prayed,
Speaker 4: saying dance chanted. Hour after hour, still no fire. When
Speaker 4: it was Elijah's time, he prayed, and God sent lightning
Speaker 4: and started the wood on fire. Later, all four hundred
Speaker 4: of those prophets were killed. It's a great victory for Elijah. Well,
Speaker 4: there was a lady there by the name of Jezebel.
Speaker 4: When she heard what happened to those prophets, she was furious.
Speaker 4: She sent word to Elijah saying, if I don't kill
Speaker 4: you by this time tomorrow, I'm gonna kill myself. Elijah
Speaker 4: took off running for his life. It's funny. He wasn't
Speaker 4: afraid of four hundred men, but you were scared the
Speaker 4: death of one angry woman. When you have an angry woman,
Speaker 4: you need God's help. Elijah ran far away from that place.
Speaker 4: He was sitting under a tree, so depressed that he
Speaker 4: didn't want to live. He said, God, I'm done, it's over,
Speaker 4: Just take my life here. He had just seen this
Speaker 4: great miracle, and the problem now is he's tired. He's
Speaker 4: tired of believing, he's tired of standing strong, he's tired
Speaker 4: of staying in faith. Maybe like Elijah, you've been doing
Speaker 4: the right thing for a long time, believing, praying, standing
Speaker 4: in faith. You've seen God's goodness in the past. Now
Speaker 4: you're tired. You've lost your drive, your passion. You don't
Speaker 4: think you'll ever really get well. You've had the sickness
Speaker 4: so long you're not believing to start that business anymore.
Speaker 4: You've had too many setbacks. The good news is God
Speaker 4: doesn't get up on us when we get tired, when
Speaker 4: we get discouraged. When Jesus was on his way to
Speaker 4: the cross, about to be crucified, he got so tired,
Speaker 4: so weak, that he fell down. He couldn't carry it anymore.
Speaker 4: God didn't say, Jesus, what are you doing. Get up?
Speaker 4: You're making me look bad. He sent a man by
Speaker 4: the name of Simon to carry the cross for him.
Speaker 4: God knew there would be times that we would get tired,
Speaker 4: fall down, be discouraged, give up on a dream. He
Speaker 4: doesn't say, too bad, you should have had more faith. No,
Speaker 4: he'll send somebody to help lift you back up, somebody
Speaker 4: to breathe new life into your dreams. Maybe I'm that
Speaker 4: somebody for you today. You're not here by accident. God
Speaker 4: is saying the best part of your life is still
Speaker 4: out in front of you. He has new friendships, new opportunities,
Speaker 4: new victories, new mountains for you to climb. But sometimes
Speaker 4: we think, because we're people of faith, we're supposed to
Speaker 4: be superman, superwoman. Never have an ounce of doubt, a
Speaker 4: moment of discouragement. Take the pressure off yourself. You don't
Speaker 4: have to be strong all the time. Even Jesus fell
Speaker 4: down under the weight of the cross. You may be
Speaker 4: down right now, not pursuing your dreams, not passionate about life, tired.
Speaker 4: God has you here to lift you, to help you
Speaker 4: get back up, to remind you that he's not finished
Speaker 4: with you. He's going to bring you out of that pit.
Speaker 4: He's gonna set your feet on a rock. He's going
Speaker 4: to move you towards your destiny. This season will pass.
Speaker 4: The second touch is coming. Elijah was so depressed he
Speaker 4: didn't want to live. He's sitting under that tree. You
Speaker 4: would think God would say, come on, Elijah, I just
Speaker 4: rained down fire from heaven, just showed you by favor
Speaker 4: my protection. And you mean you're gonna let this one woman,
Speaker 4: one bad break, one disappointment cause you to get discouraged
Speaker 4: and give up what's wrong with you?
Speaker 6: Now?
Speaker 4: God doesn't disqualify us when we don't stand strong enough.
Speaker 4: The scripture says, the Angel of the Lord came a
Speaker 4: second time to Elijah and touched him, saying, arise and eat.
Speaker 4: When he woke up, he saw bread cooking over some
Speaker 4: coals and a jar of water. God not only gave
Speaker 4: him the bread and water. God took it one step further.
Speaker 4: He cooked the food for him. God could have given
Speaker 4: him the strength to go out and hunt and find food,
Speaker 4: find water, come back in the firewood, cook it himself.
Speaker 4: That would have been nice. Here's how good God is.
Speaker 4: On this second touch. God's going to bring things to you.
Speaker 4: He's going to cause blessings to chase you down. He's
Speaker 4: going to make things happen that you could have never
Speaker 4: made happen. You may have been through some disappointments, people,
Speaker 4: circumstances have come against you, and now you settle where
Speaker 4: you are not expecting anything good. Every voice tells you
Speaker 4: it's never going to happen. Don't believe those lives. Just
Speaker 4: like Elijah, the Angel of the Lord is coming a
Speaker 4: second time. This second touch is not only going to
Speaker 4: give you a new fire, new passion. But it's going
Speaker 4: to push you into your destiny. The second touch is
Speaker 4: when you'll see clearly, you'll have wisdom, the right door's open,
Speaker 4: things fall into place, You'll step into your purpose. Why
Speaker 4: don't you shake off the disappointments, shake off what didn't
Speaker 4: work out? Say God, I know you're still in control
Speaker 4: of my life. I've had these bad breaks, things come
Speaker 4: against me. But God, I'm not going to settle here.
Speaker 4: I'm not going to give up with a dream. I
Speaker 4: know your second touch is coming. If you'll do that,
Speaker 4: God will not only bring you the provision. He'll not
Speaker 4: only give you the food and water, so to speak,
Speaker 4: but he'll cook the food for you. He'll do more
Speaker 4: than you can ask or think. But too often we
Speaker 4: stay focused on the negative. What didn't work out, how
Speaker 4: long it's taken, who heard us, how unfair it was
Speaker 4: that causes us to get stuck. You can talk yourself
Speaker 4: out of your destiny. This is what Abraham's father did.
Speaker 4: His name was Tera. He had three sons. One of
Speaker 4: his sons, a young man named Haran, died at an
Speaker 4: early age. Tara went through this great disappointment the loss
Speaker 4: of a son. Years later, God told Tara to leave
Speaker 4: the place they were living and go to Canaan, the
Speaker 4: Promised Land. Tara packed up his family and they hided
Speaker 4: that way toward the Promised Land. But when they came
Speaker 4: to the city of Haran, the same name of the
Speaker 4: son he had lost. Instead of passing through it, continuing
Speaker 4: on toward the Promised Land, the scripture says Tera settled
Speaker 4: in the city of Haraan started off good, but when
Speaker 4: he came to the place that rom minded him of
Speaker 4: the son, he had lost, the place of his greatest disappointment.
Speaker 4: He got discouraged, gave up on his dream, told everybody,
Speaker 4: I'm sure I should go forward. Promised Land is probably
Speaker 4: in front of us, but look, I've been through too much.
Speaker 4: I've been hurt too many times. Let's just settle here.
Speaker 4: Tera could have become the father of many nations instead
Speaker 4: of Abraham. He's the original one God told to go
Speaker 4: to the Promised Land. We could talk about the God
Speaker 4: of Terah, Abraham and Isaac instead of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
Speaker 4: It could have started one generation sooner. But Tara chose
Speaker 4: to settle. He didn't realize God had a second touch,
Speaker 4: that God can give beauty for ashes, that God can
Speaker 4: turn mourning into dancing, that God can take what's meant
Speaker 4: for harm and use it to our advantage. Instead, he
Speaker 4: chose to stay focused on the pain. I don't know.
Speaker 4: Maybe he had a good excuse lost loved one. But
Speaker 4: if he could have just dug his heels in and said, no,
Speaker 4: i am not going to settle in Haram. I'm not
Speaker 4: going to stay in the place of my greatest pain.
Speaker 4: I'm going to keep moving forward, knowing that a second
Speaker 4: touch is coming, knowing that God will pay me back
Speaker 4: for this trouble. He would have done that, he would
Speaker 4: have been listed as one of the heroes of faith. Friends,
Speaker 4: don't let one loss, one disappointment, one bad break cause
Speaker 4: you to settle. We all face things we don't understand.
Speaker 4: Life is not always fair. The key is you have
Speaker 4: to pass through the place of your greatest pain, pass
Speaker 4: through the hurt, the rejection, the failure, the mistake. If
Speaker 4: you'll keep moving forward, you'll come in to your promised land.
Speaker 4: God will give you beauty for ashes. The scripture says
Speaker 4: He'll pay you back double for the unfair situations. You
Speaker 4: remember Job, he went through a great disappointment, He lost
Speaker 4: his health, his business, his family, but in the end
Speaker 4: God restored twice back to him. Job had ten children
Speaker 4: that were killed in a terrible storm, a great tragedy.
Speaker 4: He was devastated, but later on God gave Job ten
Speaker 4: more children. He had ten in heaven, ten on earth. Double.
Speaker 4: And what's interesting is the scripture never says that Job
Speaker 4: married a younger wife. The same wife that had given
Speaker 4: him ten children before, gave him ten more children. God
Speaker 4: opened that womb once again in the natural. She was
Speaker 4: too old, she was done, couldn't have any more children,
Speaker 4: looked like her womb was dead. But when God saw
Speaker 4: the trouble the enemy had cost her, God said to her,
Speaker 4: in effect, don't worry. I'm going to bring back to
Speaker 4: life your dead wound, that wound that's been closed, I'm
Speaker 4: gonna open it once again. You're gonna have ten more children.
Speaker 4: I don't know if she is happy or depressed about that,
Speaker 4: but God did that for Victoria. He'd have to bring
Speaker 4: me back to life. Bottom line, she gave birth to
Speaker 4: ten more children. What am I saying? The enemy cannot
Speaker 4: stop God's plan for your life. He may try, but
Speaker 4: he can't do it. God has the final say. Now
Speaker 4: you may have something that looks dead. You tried, it
Speaker 4: didn't work. As it's been a long time, you need
Speaker 4: to get ready for the second touch. On the second touch,
Speaker 4: God's going to reopen what was closed. He's going to
Speaker 4: bring back to life what was dead. He's going to
Speaker 4: pay you back for that trouble. Don't settle in the
Speaker 4: place of your greatest pain. The second touch is coming.
Speaker 4: I was in Washington, d c. Earlier this year and
Speaker 4: this mom told about her son. He's a soldier serving
Speaker 4: in our military overseas, and she received a phone call
Speaker 4: in the middle of the night say that her son
Speaker 4: had been gravely wounded in action. They were flying him
Speaker 4: to Germany. Didn't think that he would make it through
Speaker 4: the night. She and her husband jumped on the next
Speaker 4: flight out. When they arrived, her son was still alive,
Speaker 4: hanging by a thread in a coma. The doctor said
Speaker 4: it would just be a matter of hours before he
Speaker 4: would pass. A lot of people would have given up,
Speaker 4: but this soldier had a praying mother. She knew that
Speaker 4: God has the final say that God can bring back
Speaker 4: to life, resurrect what looked dead. She was doing her
Speaker 4: best to stay in faith, but she asked God to
Speaker 4: give her a sign. When the doctors and all the
Speaker 4: specialists finally left the hospital room after giving her the
Speaker 4: grim prognosis about her son, the nurse walked in, looked
Speaker 4: at the mother in the eyes, and she said, don't
Speaker 4: worry about your son. He's going to be fine. When
Speaker 4: he arrived last night, he opened his eyes and looked
Speaker 4: at me. And when he did, I could see God
Speaker 4: in his eyes. Against all odds, he made it through
Speaker 4: that night, and the next and the next Today, several
Speaker 4: years later, he's still alive, on the road to recovery,
Speaker 4: getting better and better. When it looked like it was over,
Speaker 4: the second touch kicked in. God breathed new life into
Speaker 4: his body. Your situation may look dead, in your health,
Speaker 4: relationship of business, you don't think how it could ever
Speaker 4: work out. But God didn't bring you this far to
Speaker 4: leave you. There's a second touch coming. The first touch
Speaker 4: got you to this point. The second touch is when
Speaker 4: you see it turn around, when you see your health restored,
Speaker 4: when your business takes off. The second touch is when
Speaker 4: you say, I can see clearly now the dream came
Speaker 4: to pass, the problem resolved. God finished what he started.
Speaker 4: Anybody can give up, anybody can say it's never gonna happen.
Speaker 4: That's easy, doubters or a dime a dozen. But it
Speaker 4: takes a man or woman of great faith, somebody like
Speaker 4: you to say I may not see away, but I
Speaker 4: know God still has a way. I'm not gonna give up.
Speaker 4: I'm not gonna settle. I'm not gonna be talked out
Speaker 4: of it. I know my second touch is coming. God
Speaker 4: did it for others, he can do it for me.
Speaker 4: Moses said in Psalm ninety, God, show us gladness for
Speaker 4: the former misery. Replace the difficult years with good. God,
Speaker 4: let us see your miracles again. He was saying, God,
Speaker 4: I'm in a tough time. Things haven't been going my way.
Speaker 4: But God, I'm asking for your second touch. Show us
Speaker 4: miracles again. When you face difficulties, do like Moses. Lord,
Speaker 4: touch me again, heal me again, strengthen me again, amaze
Speaker 4: me again. Dare to ask for the second touch. In
Speaker 4: the scripture, there was a lady named Elizabeth. She and
Speaker 4: her husband Zachariah were well up there in years, and
Speaker 4: they'd never had any children. God spoke to Zachariah and
Speaker 4: said they will going to have a son. They were
Speaker 4: to name him John. He later became known as John
Speaker 4: the Baptist. Even though Elizabeth in the natural was too old,
Speaker 4: she conceived she was pregnant with little John, but for
Speaker 4: the first six months she didn't feel hardly any movement
Speaker 4: in her womb, and she was very concerned something was
Speaker 4: wrong with the baby. One day, her young cousin Mary
Speaker 4: came to visit her. She was pregnant with Jesus. When
Speaker 4: Elizabeth saw Mary, the scripture says, the baby leaped in
Speaker 4: Elizabeth's womb. She knew John was alive and well. That
Speaker 4: was the first time John the Baptist ever met Jesus,
Speaker 4: technically still in the womb. Fast forward thirty years later,
Speaker 4: John is baptizing people in the Jordan River. He sees
Speaker 4: Jesus walking up, points his finger and says, behold the
Speaker 4: lamb of God. Jesus asked John to baptize him. When
Speaker 4: he came up out of the water, the heavens opened up.
Speaker 4: The first time John met Jesus, his mother's womb opened up,
Speaker 4: a natural occurrence. The second time they met, the heavens
Speaker 4: opened up a supernatural occurrence. This second touch is not
Speaker 4: going to be ordinary, It's not going to be natural.
Speaker 4: Not what you were thinking. It's going to launch you
Speaker 4: into a new dimension, into a new level. God's going
Speaker 4: to take you where you could not go on your own. Now.
Speaker 4: You may have seen God's goodness in the past, but
Speaker 4: you haven't seen anything yet. You need to get ready.
Speaker 4: The Second Touch is coming. It's not too late to
Speaker 4: accomplish your dreams. You can still live healthy and whole.
Speaker 4: You can still overcome that obstacle. Don't get discouraged and
Speaker 4: settled where you are. Don't get stuck in the place
Speaker 4: of pain, the place of disappointment. Keep moving forward. There's
Speaker 4: a promised land in front of you. The best part
Speaker 4: of your life is still in your future. I'm asking
Speaker 4: you to stir your faith up, get your passion back,
Speaker 4: get up every morning and say, with Moses, Lord, thank
Speaker 4: you for your second Touch. If you'll do this, I
Speaker 4: believe and declare. Just like the blind Man, You're going
Speaker 4: to see the completion of what God started. Like Elijah,
Speaker 4: God's not only going to strengthen you, but he's going
Speaker 4: to bring you the provision. He's going to do more
Speaker 4: than you can ask or think. And like John the Baptist,
Speaker 4: God's going to launch you into a new dimension, into
Speaker 4: the fullness of your destiny in Jesus' name, and if
Speaker 4: you receive it tonight, can you say amen. We want
Speaker 4: to give you the same opportunity that I gave everyone
Speaker 4: here at the stadium, and that is to make Jesus
Speaker 4: the Lord of your life. Would you pray with me?
Speaker 4: Just say, Lord, Jesus, I repent of my sins. Come
Speaker 4: into my heart. I make you my Lord and savior. Friends,
Speaker 4: if you prayed that simple prayer, we believe you got
Speaker 4: born again. Get in a good Bible based church. Keep
Speaker 4: God first place. He's going to take you places that
Speaker 4: you've never dreamed.
