If you're ever in our area, 9 00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:29,360 Speaker 1: I hope you'll stop buying be a part of one 10 00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:32,280 Speaker 1: of our services. I promise you these are the finest 11 00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:35,200 Speaker 1: people of all of Houston. Right here at Lakewood. We'll 12 00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:37,839 Speaker 1: make you feel right at home. But thanks for tuning in, 13 00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:40,879 Speaker 1: Thanks for coming out again. I like to start with 14 00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:43,480 Speaker 1: something funny each week. And I heard about this lady 15 00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:46,760 Speaker 1: that died and she found herself standing at the pearly gates. 16 00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:49,760 Speaker 1: Saint Peter said, you can't come in yet. You have 17 00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:53,760 Speaker 1: to correctly spell a word. She said what word? He said, 18 00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:57,240 Speaker 1: any word? So she spelled the word love. L ov 19 00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:01,400 Speaker 1: Peter said, welcome to Heaven. Then Peter asked if she 20 00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:04,640 Speaker 1: would take his place for a moment. He instructed her 21 00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:07,560 Speaker 1: to just follow the same procedure if anyone else should 22 00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:10,240 Speaker 1: come up well. In a few minutes, the lady sees 23 00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:14,680 Speaker 1: her ex husband walking up. She can't believe it. She says, 24 00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:16,800 Speaker 1: what are you doing here? He said, I just had 25 00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:19,080 Speaker 1: a heart attack. Did I really make it to heaven? 26 00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:22,839 Speaker 1: She said, not yet. You have to correctly spell a word. 27 00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:26,000 Speaker 1: He said what word? There was a long pause, and 28 00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:32,240 Speaker 1: she said, Czechoslovakia. All right, hold up your Bible. Say 29 00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:35,360 Speaker 1: it like you mean it. This is my Bible. I 30 00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:37,840 Speaker 1: am what it says I am. I have what it 31 00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:40,440 Speaker 1: says I have. I can do what it says I 32 00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:43,600 Speaker 1: can do. Today I will be taught the word of God. 33 00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:48,680 Speaker 1: I boldly confess. My mind is alert, my heart is receptive. 34 00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:52,720 Speaker 1: I will never be the same. In Jesus' name, God 35 00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:56,200 Speaker 1: bless you. I want to talk to you today about 36 00:01:56,200 --> 00:02:01,000 Speaker 1: the God of acceleration. One thing I've learned. God doesn't 37 00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:05,360 Speaker 1: always follow a natural timetable. You can be going along 38 00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:09,120 Speaker 1: being your best, living a life that honors Him, and 39 00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:12,359 Speaker 1: all of a sudden you come into favor to wear 40 00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:16,200 Speaker 1: your thrust years ahead. What should have taken you five 41 00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:20,040 Speaker 1: years you accomplish in less than a year. What took 42 00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:23,840 Speaker 1: your parents a lifetime to achieve, you achieve in a 43 00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:27,400 Speaker 1: fraction of the time. We are living in a day 44 00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:31,000 Speaker 1: where God is speeding things up. I want you to 45 00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:33,760 Speaker 1: get this down in your spirit. God is going to 46 00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:38,920 Speaker 1: take you further quicker than you've ever imagined in your career. 47 00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:42,400 Speaker 1: Maybe it should take you twenty years to work your 48 00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:45,000 Speaker 1: way up to the position you really want, or that 49 00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:49,240 Speaker 1: business should take twenty years to really build up and 50 00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:52,240 Speaker 1: make it successful. Now you need to get ready. The 51 00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:56,000 Speaker 1: God of acceleration is about to show up. He's going 52 00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:59,440 Speaker 1: to give you breaks that you didn't earn. He's going 53 00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:02,400 Speaker 1: to move people so you can be promoted. He's going 54 00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:05,320 Speaker 1: to help your gifts and talents come out to the full. 55 00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:08,760 Speaker 1: It's not going to be business as usual. It's going 56 00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:12,239 Speaker 1: to be business as unusual. You're gonna look up and say, 57 00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:15,079 Speaker 1: how did I get to where I am so quickly? 58 00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:17,760 Speaker 1: Should have taken me twenty years and here I am 59 00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:22,760 Speaker 1: five years later. That's the God of acceleration speeding things up, 60 00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:26,840 Speaker 1: thrusting you years ahead. Maybe in your health, you've been 61 00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:29,760 Speaker 1: told that it's going to take five years to recover 62 00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:33,800 Speaker 1: from that illness. Five years of therapy and treatment and 63 00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:38,279 Speaker 1: taking medicine. Now, the good news is God has another timeline, 64 00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:41,920 Speaker 1: and he's saying I made your body. I know how 65 00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:45,040 Speaker 1: to correct what's wrong, and if you'll stay in faith, 66 00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:48,119 Speaker 1: I can speed up the process. You're going to get 67 00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:51,600 Speaker 1: well quicker than you thought. I talked to a gentleman 68 00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:54,800 Speaker 1: last week that it had a stroke a while back, 69 00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:57,640 Speaker 1: and he was a young man in his early fifties, 70 00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:01,160 Speaker 1: and he had lost almost total control of his left side. 71 00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:03,520 Speaker 1: He couldn't move his left arm and he had to 72 00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:07,400 Speaker 1: drag this left leg and part of his face was paralyzed. 73 00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:10,880 Speaker 1: And I asked him about his prognosis, and he told 74 00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:14,480 Speaker 1: through his slurrege speech how the doctors had said it 75 00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:18,120 Speaker 1: would probably take between three and five years of going 76 00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:20,960 Speaker 1: to therapy five days a week for him to just 77 00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:25,400 Speaker 1: regain partial control of the left side. They clearly stated 78 00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:28,159 Speaker 1: he would never be able to lift this left arm 79 00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:31,520 Speaker 1: like he had before. I told him what I'm telling you, 80 00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:35,000 Speaker 1: God can speed things up. He's in control. Keep believing, 81 00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:38,719 Speaker 1: keep hoping. I saw him six months later. The first 82 00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:40,960 Speaker 1: thing he did was lift his arm way up in 83 00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:43,440 Speaker 1: the air. He said, Joel, give me a high five. 84 00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:47,480 Speaker 1: I said, I thought you said it was going to 85 00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:49,880 Speaker 1: take five years to do that. He said, that's what 86 00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:52,200 Speaker 1: they told me, but I did it in less than 87 00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:55,920 Speaker 1: two months. His therapist told him, I've been doing this 88 00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:58,800 Speaker 1: for thirty years and I've never seen anything like this. 89 00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:02,960 Speaker 1: What is that? God accelerating things? God is doing it 90 00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:05,840 Speaker 1: faster than it's been done before. That's the day we're 91 00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:08,760 Speaker 1: living in. Some of you think that it's going to 92 00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:12,039 Speaker 1: take years to accomplish your dreams, and years to get 93 00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:15,160 Speaker 1: out of debt, and years to overcome that addiction. No, 94 00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:18,560 Speaker 1: you don't know what God is up to in your future. 95 00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:23,680 Speaker 1: He has explosive blessings, blessings that will thrust you years ahead. 96 00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:27,080 Speaker 1: You may be facing a sickness, but your attitude should 97 00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:30,640 Speaker 1: be Father, I want to thank you that you're accelerating 98 00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:33,520 Speaker 1: my recovery. Thank you that I'm going to get well 99 00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:37,800 Speaker 1: quicker than I've been told. Maybe in your finances, when 100 00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:41,880 Speaker 1: you run all the numbers and the projections and the calculations, 101 00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:44,040 Speaker 1: you don't see how you could get out of debt 102 00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:47,040 Speaker 1: for one hundred and twenty two years, But don't ever 103 00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:50,880 Speaker 1: rule out the God of acceleration. He has ways to 104 00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:55,560 Speaker 1: promote you that don't fall into your calculations instead of 105 00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:57,839 Speaker 1: going around thinking it is never gonna happen. I'm so 106 00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:01,320 Speaker 1: far behind, this is impossible. No our report should be 107 00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:05,240 Speaker 1: I know I serve the God of acceleration. It may 108 00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:07,960 Speaker 1: look like it's going to take fifty years, but I'm 109 00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:10,640 Speaker 1: not moved by what I see. I'm moved by what 110 00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:13,839 Speaker 1: I know, and I know right now God is speeding 111 00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:17,320 Speaker 1: things up. He has increased and promotion come in my way, 112 00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:22,039 Speaker 1: and I'm expecting his favor to accelerate things in my life. 113 00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:25,800 Speaker 1: That's what happened to us when God gave us this 114 00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:30,760 Speaker 1: beautiful facility, the former Compact Center. It thrust our ministry 115 00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:35,520 Speaker 1: probably fifty years down the road. The respect and influence 116 00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:39,159 Speaker 1: this gave us could have taken us our whole lifetime 117 00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:42,520 Speaker 1: to earn on our own, but one touch of God's 118 00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:47,760 Speaker 1: favor and it thrust us many years ahead. My father 119 00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:50,640 Speaker 1: went to be with the Lord eleven years ago. This week, 120 00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:54,120 Speaker 1: I was thinking about how just eleven years ago I 121 00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:57,640 Speaker 1: was working behind the scenes. I had never ministered before. 122 00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:02,239 Speaker 1: I didn't go to seminary trained to do this. Most 123 00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:05,640 Speaker 1: ministers start off in their early twenties. By the time 124 00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:09,239 Speaker 1: they're thirty five, the age I was when my father 125 00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:10,920 Speaker 1: went to be with the Lord and I took over. 126 00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:15,800 Speaker 1: They already have fifteen years experience. But friends, God knows 127 00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:18,440 Speaker 1: how to make up for lost time. He knows how 128 00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:19,440 Speaker 1: to speed things up. 129 00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:20,240 Speaker 2: Now. 130 00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:23,679 Speaker 1: I went from never ministering before to ministering to people 131 00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:27,520 Speaker 1: all over the world. I say this humbly and respectfully, 132 00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:32,280 Speaker 1: but God has thrust me far past the influence and 133 00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:36,680 Speaker 1: the reach that my father ever had. My father laid 134 00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:40,360 Speaker 1: the foundation. But here's where I've learned. God wants every 135 00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:44,520 Speaker 1: generation to increase. He wants you to accomplish what your 136 00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:48,560 Speaker 1: parents did much quicker, and He is going to accelerate 137 00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:51,800 Speaker 1: things in your life to where you look up and say, 138 00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:54,160 Speaker 1: like me, how in the world did I get to 139 00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:56,720 Speaker 1: where I am? How did I end up being a 140 00:07:56,800 --> 00:08:00,560 Speaker 1: minister that's seen all over the world on television when 141 00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:03,040 Speaker 1: a few years ago I wouldn't even get up in 142 00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:06,720 Speaker 1: front of the church and make the announcements. Friends, God's 143 00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:09,200 Speaker 1: dream for your life is much bigger than your own. 144 00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:13,600 Speaker 1: There is potential on the inside that you have not 145 00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:18,240 Speaker 1: yet tapped into. There are seeds of greatness that are 146 00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:20,920 Speaker 1: not only gonna take root but God is going to 147 00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:24,200 Speaker 1: accelerate bringing them to pass. He's going to make up 148 00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:27,520 Speaker 1: for lost time. You may have been in the background 149 00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:31,040 Speaker 1: for years, working hard, or maybe you've been overlooked for 150 00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:35,120 Speaker 1: promotion that you deserved. Don't worry about it, don't get discouraged. 151 00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:38,280 Speaker 1: God is keeping the records, and when it's your time, 152 00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:41,760 Speaker 1: he's gonna thrust you to the foreground. You're not gonna 153 00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:45,199 Speaker 1: be sitting on the sidelines wishing you could do something great. No, 154 00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:47,800 Speaker 1: you'll be in the game. You'll be making a mark 155 00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:50,400 Speaker 1: that cannot be your race. God knows how to make 156 00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:53,800 Speaker 1: up for lost time. I think about the first miracle 157 00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:57,720 Speaker 1: Jesus ever performed. He turned water into wine. He just 158 00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:01,760 Speaker 1: attended a wedding. Afterwards, he was at this big reception, 159 00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:04,959 Speaker 1: a big celebration, and right in the middle, they ran 160 00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:08,760 Speaker 1: out of wine. Jesus' mother, Mary came up and told 161 00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:11,760 Speaker 1: him about the problem. Jesus said, Mom, why are you 162 00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:14,080 Speaker 1: telling me that I can't do anything about it? My 163 00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:18,520 Speaker 1: time has not yet come. I can imagine Mary just smiled, 164 00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:20,920 Speaker 1: and she said, to the workers, do me a favor. 165 00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:24,320 Speaker 1: Whatever he asked you to do, just do it. Mary 166 00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:27,400 Speaker 1: knew what he was capable of and there were six 167 00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:31,000 Speaker 1: stone water pots over to the side. They held about 168 00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:34,720 Speaker 1: thirty gallons each. Jesus said to the workers, filled those 169 00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:37,719 Speaker 1: pots up with water. They filled them up, and then 170 00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:40,000 Speaker 1: he said, now dip out some of the water, which 171 00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:42,800 Speaker 1: was now wine, and take it to the host of 172 00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:46,400 Speaker 1: the party. When the host tasted it, he called the 173 00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:50,480 Speaker 1: groom over and said, this is amazing. Most people serve 174 00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:53,880 Speaker 1: the best wine first, and then when people have had 175 00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:55,960 Speaker 1: a lot to drink and they don't know any better, 176 00:09:56,280 --> 00:10:00,600 Speaker 1: they'll bring out you know what I mean, I don't 177 00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:05,840 Speaker 1: drink but anyway, then they'll bring out the less expensive wine. 178 00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:09,320 Speaker 1: But you've done just the opposite. You've saved the best 179 00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:12,920 Speaker 1: wine for last. Now. I was reading about how long 180 00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:16,840 Speaker 1: it takes to make wine to very lengthy process. It 181 00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:19,640 Speaker 1: starts by, of course, planting the seed in the ground, 182 00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:23,560 Speaker 1: and the vines have to grow and produce grapes. The 183 00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:27,000 Speaker 1: grapes have to develop when they get mature, and just write, 184 00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:30,040 Speaker 1: they pick the grapes and eventually it's made into wine. 185 00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:33,400 Speaker 1: But the process from the time they plant the seed 186 00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:36,840 Speaker 1: to the time they have wine is typically three to 187 00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:41,120 Speaker 1: five years. And that's just average quality wine. But the 188 00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:45,160 Speaker 1: better quality wine takes between five and seven years to make. 189 00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:49,040 Speaker 1: Not only that, to increase the quality and make it 190 00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:52,800 Speaker 1: more valuable. Sometimes they will age the wine, put it 191 00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:54,840 Speaker 1: up on a shelf and leave it years and years. 192 00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:58,160 Speaker 1: You've seen wine that's twenty years old, wine that's thirty 193 00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:02,320 Speaker 1: years old, that would be the best wine. Here's what 194 00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:06,160 Speaker 1: I want you to see. The first miracle Jesus ever performed. 195 00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:10,080 Speaker 1: He took what should have taken twenty years, and he 196 00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:13,080 Speaker 1: did it in a split second. What was normally a 197 00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:16,400 Speaker 1: twenty year process he did in a moment of time. 198 00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:20,040 Speaker 1: You may think, how can I ever get to where 199 00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:22,679 Speaker 1: I'm supposed to be? I am so far behind. No 200 00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:26,000 Speaker 1: God can take what should have taken you twenty years 201 00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:29,160 Speaker 1: and get you there in a split second. Maybe it 202 00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:32,480 Speaker 1: should take you years to get well, But just like 203 00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:35,800 Speaker 1: Jesus sped up the process of making wine, he can 204 00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:39,320 Speaker 1: speed up the process of you getting well. Maybe in 205 00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:41,920 Speaker 1: the natural it should take you twenty years to pay 206 00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:45,560 Speaker 1: your house off. You've run the calculations. That's according to 207 00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:49,160 Speaker 1: the laws of economics. But the good news is God 208 00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:52,640 Speaker 1: is in the accelerating business. He can give you one 209 00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:55,360 Speaker 1: good break that'll thrust you thirty years down the road. 210 00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:59,440 Speaker 1: What happened. He turned your water into wine. He's sped 211 00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:02,640 Speaker 1: up a natural process. And this is all a part 212 00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:06,560 Speaker 1: of the Ephesians three twenty decade. God is going to 213 00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:10,959 Speaker 1: speed up natural laws and take you further quicker than 214 00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:15,160 Speaker 1: you've ever imagined. It's one thing to go far and 215 00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:19,360 Speaker 1: to accomplish a lot in eighty or ninety years. That's great, 216 00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:23,960 Speaker 1: that's commendable. But God wants to take you further quicker. 217 00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:27,960 Speaker 1: In other words, he wants you to accomplish eighty years 218 00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:31,280 Speaker 1: worth of goals in half the time, or who knows 219 00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:34,720 Speaker 1: a quarter of the time. Maybe in the natural you 220 00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:37,400 Speaker 1: can see how one day you'll pay your house off 221 00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:40,600 Speaker 1: twenty years from now. You've got it all calculated. Or 222 00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:43,200 Speaker 1: you can see how one day you'll get that position 223 00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:46,240 Speaker 1: that you really want if you keep working hard. Ten 224 00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:49,720 Speaker 1: years from now, twenty years from now, your supervisor will retire, 225 00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:52,400 Speaker 1: you'll have the seniority. You've got it all figured out. 226 00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:55,120 Speaker 1: This is good to have goals and plans and vision. 227 00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:57,760 Speaker 1: But what I want you to see is God is 228 00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:01,920 Speaker 1: accelerating things in the coming days. He's going to turn 229 00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:05,480 Speaker 1: your water into wine. That promotion should have taken you 230 00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:08,000 Speaker 1: five years, but you need to get ready. God is 231 00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:11,800 Speaker 1: speeding things up. That business should take ten years to 232 00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:14,760 Speaker 1: get off the ground, but right now God is working 233 00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:17,360 Speaker 1: behind the scenes. You know what he's doing. He's filling 234 00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:20,880 Speaker 1: up your water pots. That problem you're dealing with could 235 00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:23,760 Speaker 1: drag on for another twenty years, but God is going 236 00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:26,680 Speaker 1: to condense the time. It's going to work out much 237 00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:29,960 Speaker 1: quicker than you thought. I talked to a lady several 238 00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:33,200 Speaker 1: months ago. She was here in town from another state. 239 00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:36,440 Speaker 1: At the medical center. She had just been approved to 240 00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:39,680 Speaker 1: be on the list for a liver transplant. She was 241 00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:42,760 Speaker 1: told it would take between three and five years. She 242 00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:45,840 Speaker 1: didn't know she could make it that long. I encouraged 243 00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:49,400 Speaker 1: her that God could heal her without the transplant, or 244 00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:52,320 Speaker 1: God could speed things up and cause it to happen sooner. 245 00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:55,560 Speaker 1: We prayed and she went on her way. A few 246 00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:58,680 Speaker 1: weeks later, I saw her back in the lobby again 247 00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:01,920 Speaker 1: and she had a ripan from the hospital. I thought 248 00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:05,280 Speaker 1: maybe something was wrong. She smiled real big and said, Joel, 249 00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:07,880 Speaker 1: you are looking at a woman that has a brand 250 00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:11,640 Speaker 1: new liver. She got a call two weeks from the 251 00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:14,880 Speaker 1: hospital after she had been put on that transplant list. 252 00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:18,280 Speaker 1: It just so happened they had this liver available and 253 00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:21,200 Speaker 1: didn't work out for anybody else. They said, if you 254 00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:24,200 Speaker 1: can get here tonight, this is your liver. She jumped 255 00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:27,520 Speaker 1: on a plane and immediately went into surgery. The good 256 00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:30,560 Speaker 1: news is there were no complications. She said, Joel, I 257 00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:34,120 Speaker 1: feel better today than I felt since I was a teenager. 258 00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:38,480 Speaker 1: What happened. God turned her water into wine. God took 259 00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:41,080 Speaker 1: what should have taken five years and did it in 260 00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:45,040 Speaker 1: one month's time. That's the day we're living in. God 261 00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:49,680 Speaker 1: is accelerating things. The apostle Paul said, they're in Ephesians 262 00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:53,760 Speaker 1: two seven. In the Ages to come, we would see 263 00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:59,400 Speaker 1: the surpassing greatness of God's favor. Paul wrote this ages ago. 264 00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:03,080 Speaker 1: The day we're living in is the ages to come 265 00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:05,800 Speaker 1: that he was talking about. I don't know about you, 266 00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:11,160 Speaker 1: but I'm expecting acceleration. I'm expecting to go further faster 267 00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:14,640 Speaker 1: than I can in my own natural ability. I'm expecting 268 00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:18,760 Speaker 1: God to show himself strong on my behalf. If you 269 00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:21,760 Speaker 1: too will take the limits off of God, you will 270 00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:24,760 Speaker 1: see God do amazing things. You look up and say, 271 00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:27,240 Speaker 1: how in the world did I get to where I am. 272 00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:30,760 Speaker 1: I'm not the most qualified, but I'm running the company. 273 00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:33,800 Speaker 1: I'm not the most talented, but they all asked me 274 00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:36,680 Speaker 1: for advice. Or I never went to seminary, but I've 275 00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:39,240 Speaker 1: got a pretty big church. Or it should have taken 276 00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:41,880 Speaker 1: me till I retired, but already paid my house off. 277 00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:45,680 Speaker 1: One touch of God's favor can put you thirty years 278 00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:50,120 Speaker 1: down the road. One good break, one promotion, one inheritance, 279 00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:55,000 Speaker 1: one divine connection. Well, you say, Joels, you're just getting 280 00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:58,720 Speaker 1: everybody's hopes up. I don't believe God's going to accelerate 281 00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:01,040 Speaker 1: things in my life. I don't believe this is going 282 00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:03,720 Speaker 1: to happen for me. Then this is not for you. 283 00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:08,520 Speaker 1: This is for believers. This is for people, people who 284 00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:12,520 Speaker 1: will rise up and say, yes, Lord, I know you're 285 00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:15,720 Speaker 1: the God of acceleration. And if you did it for 286 00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:19,080 Speaker 1: the wedding party years ago, if you took a twenty 287 00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:21,800 Speaker 1: year process and did it in a split second, then 288 00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:24,680 Speaker 1: I know you can accelerate things in my life. I 289 00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:28,160 Speaker 1: know you can thrust me years and years ahead. I 290 00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:31,080 Speaker 1: have a friend that's thirty two years old, and right 291 00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:33,320 Speaker 1: after he got out of college, he went to work 292 00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:37,320 Speaker 1: at this huge corporation. I've known his parents and family 293 00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:41,040 Speaker 1: for many years. They're good people, they love the Lord, 294 00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:44,680 Speaker 1: but they've never risen any higher than they were thirty 295 00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:47,480 Speaker 1: years ago. He just stayed at the same level as 296 00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:50,680 Speaker 1: their parents and grandparents. And there's nothing wrong with that. 297 00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:55,120 Speaker 1: But I believe God wants every generation to increase. This 298 00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:58,400 Speaker 1: young man has a big vision for his life. His 299 00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:01,960 Speaker 1: dream was to one day be running a major corporation. 300 00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:06,120 Speaker 1: He started at the very bottom level at that company, 301 00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:09,240 Speaker 1: working in sales. He just kept giving it his best 302 00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:12,800 Speaker 1: day in and day out. After three years, he was 303 00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:16,760 Speaker 1: already in the top five percent of sales. They promoted 304 00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:20,199 Speaker 1: him to a manager. The next year, he got a 305 00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:24,320 Speaker 1: new account. It was the largest account in the company's history. 306 00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:28,199 Speaker 1: That one good break immediately made him by far the 307 00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:32,040 Speaker 1: top salesperson. At twenty eight years old, he was appointed 308 00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:36,080 Speaker 1: vice president. He covered all the Southwest. Things continued to 309 00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:39,640 Speaker 1: fall into place. His boss left and went to another company. 310 00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:43,800 Speaker 1: He got another promotion. The CEO of this huge corporation 311 00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:47,080 Speaker 1: was only fifty one years old, looked like he had 312 00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:50,960 Speaker 1: another twenty years in him. But one day, unexpectedly, he 313 00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:53,400 Speaker 1: went to the board and said, I'm going to resign 314 00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:56,560 Speaker 1: and I would like to nominate this young man as 315 00:17:56,600 --> 00:18:00,239 Speaker 1: my successor. They voted, and today, at thirty time's two 316 00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:04,680 Speaker 1: years old. He is the youngest CEO in that corporation's history. 317 00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:07,840 Speaker 1: He is running a major company. They have thousands and 318 00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:12,720 Speaker 1: thousands of employees. Friends. That's God accelerating things. In the 319 00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:16,040 Speaker 1: old days that could have taken a lifetime. But in 320 00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:20,080 Speaker 1: the day we're living in, God is turning water into wine. 321 00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:23,720 Speaker 1: It could have taken a lifetime to achieve. But if 322 00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:26,800 Speaker 1: you will believe, if you will put your trust in him, 323 00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:29,879 Speaker 1: if you'll live your life that honors God, then like 324 00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:32,720 Speaker 1: this young man, God will give you good breaks. He'll 325 00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:35,320 Speaker 1: open the right doors. He'll move people out of the way. 326 00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:37,720 Speaker 1: He'll cause you to stand out in the crowd. He'll 327 00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:40,560 Speaker 1: let his face shine down on you, and you will 328 00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:44,399 Speaker 1: accomplish goals in a fraction of the time. This is 329 00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:47,520 Speaker 1: what happened to David as a teenager. God put a 330 00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:50,399 Speaker 1: big dream in his heart. He knew one day he 331 00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:53,080 Speaker 1: was going to do great things. But year after year 332 00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:56,080 Speaker 1: went by and he didn't see anything happening. He was 333 00:18:56,119 --> 00:18:59,399 Speaker 1: stuck out in the lonely shepherd's fields, taking care of 334 00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:04,320 Speaker 1: his father's sheep. Nobody knew him, he didn't have any influence, 335 00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:08,440 Speaker 1: nobody paid him much attention. Now, I'm sure he felt 336 00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:11,400 Speaker 1: like he was falling behind, like he would never get 337 00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:14,639 Speaker 1: to where God wanted him to be. One day, David 338 00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:18,680 Speaker 1: went out and faced Goliath. He didn't have any military training, 339 00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:21,960 Speaker 1: all the odds were against him, but he knew the 340 00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:25,680 Speaker 1: most high God was with him. And when David defeated 341 00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:30,600 Speaker 1: Goliath in a split second, he became an instant national hero. 342 00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:35,560 Speaker 1: In a split second, he had this influence incredibility that 343 00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:38,399 Speaker 1: could have taken him his whole lifetime to earn on 344 00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:42,520 Speaker 1: his own. What happened, God turned his water into wine. 345 00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:46,199 Speaker 1: One touch of God's favor thrust him many, many years ahead. 346 00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:50,919 Speaker 1: What's interesting is God used an obstacle to promote David. 347 00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:55,920 Speaker 1: When you face giants in your own life, disappointments, setbacks, 348 00:19:56,160 --> 00:20:00,560 Speaker 1: things don't work out, don't get discouraged. That adversity could 349 00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:03,320 Speaker 1: be the very thing God's going to use to promote you. 350 00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:06,320 Speaker 1: That could be where you see God's speed up the 351 00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:09,560 Speaker 1: time and you accomplish something that should have taken you 352 00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:13,240 Speaker 1: your whole lifetime. And like David, you may feel like 353 00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:16,439 Speaker 1: that you've fallen behind. You're not where you'd hope to 354 00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:19,639 Speaker 1: be in life, and you've got big dreams in your heart, 355 00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:23,280 Speaker 1: but you haven't had any good breaks. Doors have closed, 356 00:20:23,640 --> 00:20:27,000 Speaker 1: you haven't seen things work out. It's easy to get discouraged. 357 00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:29,520 Speaker 1: But let me challenge you. If you will just keep 358 00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:31,879 Speaker 1: being your best day in and day out, if you 359 00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:34,879 Speaker 1: will live a life that honors God, God will not 360 00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:38,560 Speaker 1: only make up for lost time, but he will thrust 361 00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:41,640 Speaker 1: you further. He will do more than you can even 362 00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:45,240 Speaker 1: ask or think. Years ago, a friend of mine wanted 363 00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:48,040 Speaker 1: to buy some property to build a school on. He 364 00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:51,639 Speaker 1: had a few acres, but he needed more. Right behind him, 365 00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:55,600 Speaker 1: there were ten acres directly connected to his property. He 366 00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:58,600 Speaker 1: had paid four thousand dollars an acre for his land, 367 00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:01,880 Speaker 1: and when he inquired about the ten acres behind him, 368 00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:05,440 Speaker 1: they said they wanted twenty five thousand dollars an acre, 369 00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:09,040 Speaker 1: more than five times what he had paid. He prayed 370 00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:11,280 Speaker 1: about it, but he just didn't feel good. He didn't 371 00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:13,600 Speaker 1: think those ten acres were worth a quarter of a 372 00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:17,440 Speaker 1: million dollars, so he passed. He said no, thanks. Down deep, 373 00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:20,440 Speaker 1: he was very disappointed. He knew he was supposed to 374 00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:23,159 Speaker 1: build this school. That was the dream God put in 375 00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:25,960 Speaker 1: his heart. The year went by and he didn't see 376 00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:30,080 Speaker 1: anything happening. Another year and three years, four years. He 377 00:21:30,160 --> 00:21:33,560 Speaker 1: felt like he was falling way behind. The good news 378 00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:37,920 Speaker 1: is God has not forgotten how to turn water into wine. 379 00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:40,879 Speaker 1: God knows how to take a twenty year process and 380 00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:44,200 Speaker 1: cause it to happen in a split second. One day, 381 00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:47,479 Speaker 1: out of the blue, this government official came by his 382 00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:51,520 Speaker 1: office unannounced, never even invited him, and he said, we've 383 00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:54,879 Speaker 1: got one hundred and twenty acres right out in front 384 00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:58,520 Speaker 1: of your property. It all has street frontage. It's been 385 00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:02,080 Speaker 1: foreclosed on five times. We've sold it and had to 386 00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:04,800 Speaker 1: take it back again and again. But he said, I've 387 00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:08,280 Speaker 1: been authorized to sell you this property. If you're interested 388 00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:10,720 Speaker 1: in it, just make us an offer and we'll see 389 00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:13,600 Speaker 1: if we can't work something out. It just so happened 390 00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:17,080 Speaker 1: that that one hundred and twenty acres had nine buildings 391 00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:19,520 Speaker 1: on it that he could easily use for a school. 392 00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:22,720 Speaker 1: Right then and there, he offered the man two hundred 393 00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:25,520 Speaker 1: thousand dollars. The man shook his hand and said, you've 394 00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:28,640 Speaker 1: got a deal. He got all one hundred and twenty 395 00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:33,560 Speaker 1: acres with nine buildings, much better property for less money 396 00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:36,320 Speaker 1: than they wanted for the ten acres behind him. That 397 00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:41,879 Speaker 1: one good break thrust him years ahead. Now he not 398 00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:45,359 Speaker 1: only has a beautiful campus, but he has enough property 399 00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:49,800 Speaker 1: for the next generation to expand. What happened God turned 400 00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:53,160 Speaker 1: his water into wine. God took what should have taken 401 00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:55,639 Speaker 1: him fifty years and gave it to him in a 402 00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:59,600 Speaker 1: split second. Some of you today, you've been through setbacks, 403 00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:02,840 Speaker 1: something didn't work out. It's taken longer than you'd hoped. 404 00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:05,560 Speaker 1: You need to get ready. God is about to make 405 00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:08,639 Speaker 1: up for lost time right now. He's filling up your 406 00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:11,560 Speaker 1: water pots. You may not see how you could ever 407 00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:13,920 Speaker 1: get to where you want to be, but don't ever 408 00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:17,399 Speaker 1: rule out the God of acceleration. He can give you 409 00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:20,040 Speaker 1: one good break that will put you thirty years down 410 00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:23,320 Speaker 1: the road. One touch of God's favor and you'll go 411 00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:26,520 Speaker 1: from thinking that it's never going to happen to saying, Wow, God, 412 00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:29,359 Speaker 1: you've amazed me with your goodness. You've done more than 413 00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:32,359 Speaker 1: I can even ask or think. One time in the 414 00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:36,000 Speaker 1: Old Testament, David and his men were out protecting the 415 00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:39,880 Speaker 1: borders of Israel. While there were away, some bandits came 416 00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:44,520 Speaker 1: into their hometown, attacked the city, burned it down, stole 417 00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:48,600 Speaker 1: all their possessions, and kidnapped their wives and children. It 418 00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:52,280 Speaker 1: was the greatest defeat that David had ever suffered. When 419 00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:55,080 Speaker 1: he and his men came back and saw the city 420 00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:58,760 Speaker 1: in ruins and realized that their families were gone, they 421 00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:02,840 Speaker 1: wept until they could not weep anymore. David thought it 422 00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:05,640 Speaker 1: was over. He didn't think he'd ever get to where 423 00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:08,960 Speaker 1: God wanted him to be. You've heard that saying, when 424 00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:12,000 Speaker 1: you're down to nothing, God is up to something. It 425 00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:15,520 Speaker 1: looked like a permanent setback. But the fact is God 426 00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:18,800 Speaker 1: was in complete control. God was getting the water pots out. 427 00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:21,960 Speaker 1: God was about to make up for lost time. David 428 00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:24,960 Speaker 1: and his men shook off that discouragement. They went out 429 00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:28,920 Speaker 1: and attacked the enemy, and the scripture says they recovered 430 00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:32,359 Speaker 1: everything that had been stolen. They got their wives and 431 00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:36,359 Speaker 1: children back, they got their possessions back. Not only that, 432 00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:40,560 Speaker 1: on that same day, King Saul was killed in another 433 00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:45,359 Speaker 1: battle and David was appointed king. This all happened just 434 00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:50,480 Speaker 1: three days after his greatest defeat, just three days from 435 00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:54,520 Speaker 1: his darkest hour. David not only saw God help him 436 00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:58,000 Speaker 1: overcome an obstacle. But God promoted him and put him 437 00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:02,399 Speaker 1: on the throne of Israel, saying, in your darkest moment, 438 00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:06,679 Speaker 1: you could be just seventy two hours from your greatest victory. 439 00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:10,960 Speaker 1: Sometimes we think it's gonna take me years and years 440 00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:14,080 Speaker 1: to get out of this problem. This is a major challenge. 441 00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:16,240 Speaker 1: I don't see, y'a it could ever work out. No, 442 00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:19,320 Speaker 1: God still knows how to turn water into wine. God 443 00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:23,159 Speaker 1: can accelerate your victory. You don't know, like David. It 444 00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:27,399 Speaker 1: could be just seventy two hours before your situation turns around. 445 00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:31,200 Speaker 1: It could be just seventy two hours before you get 446 00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:34,840 Speaker 1: the break you need. Could be just another three days 447 00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:39,600 Speaker 1: before that problem is totally resolved. Like David, God is 448 00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:41,600 Speaker 1: not going to just bring you out. He's going to 449 00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:44,600 Speaker 1: bring you out promoted. He's gonna use that adversity to 450 00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:47,840 Speaker 1: thrust you years ahead. Now, I want you to get 451 00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:52,720 Speaker 1: these two words down in your spirit further quicker. God 452 00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:56,560 Speaker 1: is speeding things up. You're going to see acceleration in 453 00:25:56,640 --> 00:25:59,720 Speaker 1: your life. It's not going to take you your lifetime 454 00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:03,640 Speaker 1: to accomplish your dreams. God is breathing in your direction. 455 00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:06,600 Speaker 1: It's gonna happen in a fraction of the time. It's 456 00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:09,359 Speaker 1: not gonna take you thirty years to pay off your house. 457 00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:13,399 Speaker 1: Supernatural increase is coming your way. It's gonna happen quicker 458 00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:16,600 Speaker 1: than you think. It's not gonna take you ten years 459 00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:19,360 Speaker 1: to get out of that problem, ten years to overcome 460 00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:22,800 Speaker 1: that addiction, ten years to get out of debt. No, 461 00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:25,439 Speaker 1: God is going to cause things to fall into place 462 00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:28,840 Speaker 1: to where it happens suddenly, much faster than you thought. 463 00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:33,120 Speaker 1: You may be facing today the greatest challenge that you've 464 00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:35,960 Speaker 1: ever faced, or maybe you just went through the greatest 465 00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:39,639 Speaker 1: setback in your whole life. To remember, just like David, 466 00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:43,120 Speaker 1: you could be just seventy two hours away from your 467 00:26:43,119 --> 00:26:46,439 Speaker 1: greatest victory. Friends, we are living in the day that 468 00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:50,080 Speaker 1: Paul talked about where we're going to see the surpassing 469 00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:54,040 Speaker 1: greatness of God's favor. This is the day when God 470 00:26:54,119 --> 00:26:57,120 Speaker 1: is speeding things up. Now. I'm asking you to make 471 00:26:57,240 --> 00:27:00,720 Speaker 1: room for acceleration. Get up every morning and say, Father, 472 00:27:01,080 --> 00:27:03,800 Speaker 1: I want to thank you that you're accelerating things in 473 00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:07,760 Speaker 1: my life. Thank you that you're turning my water into wine. 474 00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:10,680 Speaker 1: If you do that, you will see God do amazing things. 475 00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:15,560 Speaker 1: You will not only accomplish every dream and overcome every obstacle. 476 00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:18,359 Speaker 1: But it will happen quicker than you think, in a 477 00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:21,239 Speaker 1: fraction of the time to where you think, how in 478 00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:23,480 Speaker 1: the world did I get to where I am so quickly? 479 00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:27,320 Speaker 1: Here's how it was the God of acceleration. Amen. Do 480 00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:30,480 Speaker 1: you believe it today? Do you receive it? But we 481 00:27:30,600 --> 00:27:33,280 Speaker 1: never like to close our broadcast without giving you an 482 00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:36,639 Speaker 1: opportunity to make Jesus the lord of your life. Would 483 00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:40,520 Speaker 1: you pray with me? Just say, Lord, Jesus, I repent 484 00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:44,960 Speaker 1: of my sins, Come into my heart. I make you 485 00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:49,199 Speaker 1: my Lord and savior. Friends, if you prayed that simple prayer, 486 00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:52,000 Speaker 1: we believe you got born again. Get in a good 487 00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:55,359 Speaker 1: Bible based church. Keep God first place. He's going to 488 00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:57,080 Speaker 1: take your places you've never dreamed of. 489 00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:02,679 Speaker 3: God has put a specific dream in your heart.
