But thanks for tuning in. I 11 00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:33,520 Speaker 1: like to start with something funny, and I heard about 12 00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:37,120 Speaker 1: this mom. She was cooking breakfast for her two young boys. 13 00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:41,280 Speaker 1: Ryan was five Kevin was three. They'd begin to argue 14 00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:44,440 Speaker 1: over who should get the first pancake. She saw this 15 00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:48,680 Speaker 1: as an opportunity to teach them a lesson. She said, boys, boys, 16 00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:51,920 Speaker 1: if Jesus were here, he would say, let my brother 17 00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:56,560 Speaker 1: have the first pancake. Ryan turned to his younger brother, said, okay, Kevin, 18 00:00:56,840 --> 00:01:00,520 Speaker 1: you be Jesus. Say it like you mean it. This 19 00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:03,240 Speaker 1: is my Bible. I am what it says I am, 20 00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:06,160 Speaker 1: I have what it says I have. I can do 21 00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:08,960 Speaker 1: what it says I can do today. I will be 22 00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:12,800 Speaker 1: taught the word of God. I boldly confess my mind 23 00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:16,039 Speaker 1: is alert, my heart is receptive. I will never be 24 00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:20,880 Speaker 1: the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you. I want 25 00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:24,119 Speaker 1: to talk to you today about mix your faith. God 26 00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:27,399 Speaker 1: has given us all these powerful promises in the scripture, 27 00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:31,360 Speaker 1: promises that say we will live an abundant life, we 28 00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:34,160 Speaker 1: will be healthy and whole, we can do all things 29 00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:40,440 Speaker 1: through Christ, on and on hundreds of promises of favor, increase, restoration. 30 00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:45,240 Speaker 1: But as powerful as these promises are, as encouraging and 31 00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:50,120 Speaker 1: inspiring as they can be by themselves, these promises won't 32 00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:53,200 Speaker 1: do you any good on their own. You won't see 33 00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:57,720 Speaker 1: any change. They're just nice, encouraging words. You have to 34 00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:02,280 Speaker 1: add an ingredient that acts ebates the power. There's something 35 00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:05,640 Speaker 1: you have when you put it with the promise, that's 36 00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:09,400 Speaker 1: what makes it come alive and become what God said. 37 00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:14,680 Speaker 1: Hebrews Ford says the word did not profit them not 38 00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:18,919 Speaker 1: being mixed with faith when they heard it. These people 39 00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:22,160 Speaker 1: heard the promises. God told them they were going to 40 00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:27,079 Speaker 1: overcome opposition, defeat enemies, and make it into the promised land. 41 00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:30,200 Speaker 1: He told them. They would live in houses that they 42 00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:34,160 Speaker 1: didn't build and have vineyards that they didn't plant. But 43 00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:38,200 Speaker 1: just because God promised it doesn't mean it's automatically going 44 00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:41,560 Speaker 1: to happen. He throws the promise out like a seed. 45 00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:44,320 Speaker 1: What kind of ground is it going to fall on? 46 00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:48,440 Speaker 1: Some people hear the promise that God is restoring health 47 00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:52,679 Speaker 1: back into them. Instead of mixing faith, they think I'll 48 00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:56,440 Speaker 1: never get well. Did you see the medical report. They're 49 00:02:56,480 --> 00:03:00,760 Speaker 1: mixing something. The problem is it's the wrong thing. They're 50 00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:05,239 Speaker 1: mixing doubt, mixing unbelief. That's why God's word did not 51 00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:09,680 Speaker 1: profit them. Prophet means they didn't see increase. They didn't 52 00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:13,679 Speaker 1: overcome the challenge. They didn't have the favor. Not because 53 00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:17,640 Speaker 1: God wasn't able, not because the promise lost its power. 54 00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:23,040 Speaker 1: It's because the promise wasn't mixed with faith. God brought 55 00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:26,520 Speaker 1: the Israelites out of slavery. He parted the Red Sea, 56 00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:30,120 Speaker 1: drowned their enemies, and they made it to the promised land. 57 00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:33,720 Speaker 1: They were camped next door. You would think they would 58 00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:36,680 Speaker 1: be full of faith, ready to take the land, knowing 59 00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:38,960 Speaker 1: that God brought them through in the past and he 60 00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:43,000 Speaker 1: would bring them through this time. Moses sent twelve men 61 00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:46,320 Speaker 1: to spy out the promised land. Ten of them came 62 00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:49,200 Speaker 1: back and said, we don't have a chance. The people 63 00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:53,320 Speaker 1: are too big. We felt like grasshoppers compared to them. 64 00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:57,600 Speaker 1: God had already promised them the victory. He'd already told 65 00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:00,240 Speaker 1: them the land was theirs. They just had to go 66 00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:03,840 Speaker 1: in and possess it. They had the promise. God had 67 00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:07,760 Speaker 1: spoken to them. But the promise alone is not enough. 68 00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:11,640 Speaker 1: God does his part. Then he waits to see what 69 00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:14,600 Speaker 1: we're going to do. What are you going to mix 70 00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:19,080 Speaker 1: with the promise. There's only one ingredient that activates the power, 71 00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:23,719 Speaker 1: only one ingredient that ignites what God said, and that's faith. 72 00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:27,040 Speaker 1: How do we mix our faith? We agree with what 73 00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:30,440 Speaker 1: God promised. Lord, thank you that. As for me and 74 00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:33,960 Speaker 1: my house, we will serve the Lord. Thank you that 75 00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:37,560 Speaker 1: the number of my days you will fulfill. That's not 76 00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:42,080 Speaker 1: just being positive, that's mixing your faith. That's what activates 77 00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:47,000 Speaker 1: the promise. When the Israelites heard this negative report, it 78 00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:50,920 Speaker 1: began to spread all throughout the camp. Before long, two 79 00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:55,719 Speaker 1: million people were afraid, complaining, saying, Moses, let's go back 80 00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:59,520 Speaker 1: to Egypt, Let's go back to being slaves. The mistake 81 00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:02,679 Speaker 1: they made Aid is they mixed in doubt. They mixed 82 00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:06,920 Speaker 1: in unbelieve. What happened the word did not profit them. 83 00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:10,920 Speaker 1: They never made it into the promised land. What are 84 00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:15,160 Speaker 1: you mixing with what God promised you? God said he'll 85 00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:18,560 Speaker 1: make streams in the desert. Even in famine, you will 86 00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:22,480 Speaker 1: have more than enough, Joel, I don't know. This pandemic 87 00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:25,400 Speaker 1: has slowed my business. I don't see how I could 88 00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:28,599 Speaker 1: ever get out of debt. You're mixing in the wrong thing. 89 00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:32,480 Speaker 1: The promise, even though it's powerful, even though it can 90 00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:35,440 Speaker 1: cause doors to open, it's not going to profit you. 91 00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:39,719 Speaker 1: Doubt doesn't activate the power. Talking about how it's not 92 00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:43,000 Speaker 1: going to happen, how big the obstacles are, how you're 93 00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:46,480 Speaker 1: at a disadvantage that's going to keep you from your destiny. 94 00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:50,679 Speaker 1: Why don't you start mixing in faith when you believe 95 00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:55,360 Speaker 1: angels go to work, when you believe supernatural doors will open, 96 00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:59,400 Speaker 1: when you believe you'll defeat giants, when you believe you'll 97 00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:03,440 Speaker 1: accomplish dreams much bigger than you thought. Here's the key. 98 00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:06,640 Speaker 1: You don't have to have a lot of faith. The 99 00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:09,680 Speaker 1: scripture says, if you have faith, the size of a 100 00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:13,480 Speaker 1: mustard seed. You can move a mountain. What you're up 101 00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:17,640 Speaker 1: against may seem impossible. The odds are against you. But 102 00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:21,719 Speaker 1: when you say, God, I know you can do the impossible. 103 00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:24,560 Speaker 1: You said when the enemy comes in like a flood, 104 00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:27,440 Speaker 1: you would raise up a barrier. You said, whom the 105 00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:31,440 Speaker 1: sun sets free is free. Indeed, you said, my children 106 00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:34,520 Speaker 1: will be mighty in the land. You know what you did. 107 00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:39,680 Speaker 1: You just mixed in faith. Faith ignites the promise like 108 00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:42,880 Speaker 1: a match. Even though it's small, even though it doesn't 109 00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:46,360 Speaker 1: look like much, it's powerful. There's fire in the match. 110 00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:50,560 Speaker 1: It can become a huge force. But nothing happens until 111 00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:53,600 Speaker 1: you ignite it. When you strike that match and it 112 00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:58,000 Speaker 1: catches fire, then the power is released. It's the same 113 00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:02,200 Speaker 1: way with the promises. They're powerful. They can bring healing, 114 00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:06,240 Speaker 1: they can restore relationships. They can catapult you to a 115 00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:09,840 Speaker 1: new level, but they won't do you any good until 116 00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:14,000 Speaker 1: you ignite them. When you mix your faith with the promises, 117 00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:19,000 Speaker 1: powerful things happen. A little match can start a huge fire. 118 00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:23,600 Speaker 1: A little faith can start a huge blessing. Little faith 119 00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:26,880 Speaker 1: can open big doors. Little faith can bring you a 120 00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:31,200 Speaker 1: compact center. Little faith can heal you from terminal illnesses. 121 00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:35,720 Speaker 1: Little faith can defeat great giants. Don't believe those lies 122 00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:38,560 Speaker 1: that you don't have enough faith. You have the faith 123 00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:41,640 Speaker 1: you need to get you to your destiny. Now do 124 00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:46,120 Speaker 1: your part. Start mixing faith with the promises. It's easy 125 00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:51,040 Speaker 1: to mix in doubt, mix fear, mix self pity, mix complaining. 126 00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:54,800 Speaker 1: But there's only one ingredient that's going to profit you. 127 00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:59,000 Speaker 1: All the others won't do you any good. When I 128 00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:01,880 Speaker 1: was growing up, my mother always cooked for the family, 129 00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:04,400 Speaker 1: and there were five of us children. She was a 130 00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:07,920 Speaker 1: good cook. I'm saying that by faith, remembering the meals 131 00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:11,160 Speaker 1: that I could eat. But my mother was interesting. She 132 00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:15,880 Speaker 1: didn't necessarily go by the recipes. She just added whatever 133 00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:19,120 Speaker 1: she had available. One time, I was in the kitchen 134 00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:21,720 Speaker 1: with her, and I was about seven years old, and 135 00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:24,840 Speaker 1: she was making a cake. She realized she didn't have 136 00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:27,800 Speaker 1: any sugar. The recipe called for a half a cup. 137 00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:30,760 Speaker 1: I thought, what are we going to do? She said, oh, Joel, 138 00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:33,360 Speaker 1: it's no problem. I'll just add a half a cup 139 00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:38,000 Speaker 1: of apple sauce instead. You love apple sauce. She mixed 140 00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:40,959 Speaker 1: up all the ingredients and poured them into one of 141 00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:45,160 Speaker 1: those tall containers about six inches high, like a bunk cake. 142 00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:49,080 Speaker 1: It was supposed to rise and fill the container. Thirty 143 00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:51,480 Speaker 1: minutes later, she took it out of the oven. It 144 00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:54,880 Speaker 1: was about an inch tall. You think I'm an optimiss 145 00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:58,160 Speaker 1: my mother said, Joel. It will still be delicious. I 146 00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:02,240 Speaker 1: took one bite. It tasted washing detergent. Thank God. The 147 00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:05,320 Speaker 1: scripture says if you eat any deadly thing, it will 148 00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:09,720 Speaker 1: not harm you. What's my point? When you're cooking the 149 00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:14,520 Speaker 1: right ingredients matter. You can substitute apple sauce for sugar, 150 00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:17,559 Speaker 1: but you're not going to get the result you're looking for. 151 00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:21,840 Speaker 1: In the same way, God has a recipe, so to speak, 152 00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:26,280 Speaker 1: to bring his promises to pass. There's a specific ingredient 153 00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:29,920 Speaker 1: you have to add. It's called faith. If you put 154 00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:33,079 Speaker 1: something else in, you're not going to get the right results. 155 00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:38,480 Speaker 1: Too often we're mixing in doubt, fear, worry. We wonder 156 00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:41,920 Speaker 1: why our cake is not rising. It's never gonna happen. 157 00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:46,360 Speaker 1: I'm too old. This problem's too big. Everybody in my 158 00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:50,280 Speaker 1: family has this addiction. Do yourself a favor. Go back 159 00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:54,160 Speaker 1: to the recipe. Quit adding all these ingredients that are 160 00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:58,400 Speaker 1: not called for. Start adding in faith. Father, Thank you, 161 00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:02,199 Speaker 1: that what you started in my life, you will finish. 162 00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:05,040 Speaker 1: Thank you that I am strong in the Lord. Thank 163 00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:07,720 Speaker 1: you that I can do all things through Christ. Thank 164 00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:10,520 Speaker 1: you that the enemies I see today I will see 165 00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:13,520 Speaker 1: no more. You keep doing that, and you're going to 166 00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:17,719 Speaker 1: see those promises come to pass. The other two spies, 167 00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:21,920 Speaker 1: Joshua and Caleb, came back from the Promised landed. They 168 00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:25,440 Speaker 1: had a different report. They said, Moses, we are well 169 00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:28,839 Speaker 1: able to take the land. Yes, the giants are big, 170 00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:31,960 Speaker 1: but we know our God is bigger. Let us go 171 00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:36,640 Speaker 1: in at once. Unlike the other spies, these two men 172 00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:40,280 Speaker 1: chose to mix faith with the promise. They saw the 173 00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:44,920 Speaker 1: same giants, same obstacles, same problem. I'm sure they were 174 00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:48,520 Speaker 1: tempted to complain, we don't have a chance, but they 175 00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:52,880 Speaker 1: understood this principle. If the promise is going to be fulfilled, 176 00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:56,400 Speaker 1: you have to add the right ingredient. You can't go 177 00:10:56,520 --> 00:11:00,120 Speaker 1: around talking defeat. You can't live worried, think it is 178 00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:02,840 Speaker 1: never going to work out, afraid that you're not going 179 00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:06,160 Speaker 1: to get well. That's not going to activate the promise. 180 00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:10,200 Speaker 1: You have to mix in your faith. Maybe a child 181 00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:13,680 Speaker 1: is off course, not making good decisions, running with the 182 00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:18,839 Speaker 1: wrong crowd, God promises the seed of the righteous. That 183 00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:22,720 Speaker 1: means your children will be mighty in the land. That 184 00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:26,080 Speaker 1: promise gives us hope. It lets us know that God's 185 00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:29,400 Speaker 1: favor is on our children, that they will be influential, 186 00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:35,280 Speaker 1: successful history makers. But although this promise is powerful, although 187 00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:39,319 Speaker 1: it has the potential to thrust our children into their destiny, 188 00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:42,400 Speaker 1: to break chains that are holding them back, to set 189 00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:45,720 Speaker 1: them on course to rise higher, it won't do them 190 00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:49,400 Speaker 1: any good unless we mix our faith with it. You 191 00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:52,320 Speaker 1: have to make it personal. Father, Thank you that my 192 00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:55,840 Speaker 1: children will be mighty in the land. Thank you that 193 00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:58,760 Speaker 1: your hand of favor is upon them. Thank you that 194 00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:02,320 Speaker 1: they will become who You've created them to be. You 195 00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:05,600 Speaker 1: just ignited the promise. That's when you're going to see 196 00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:09,040 Speaker 1: the word profit you. And it may not happen overnight. 197 00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:13,080 Speaker 1: But keep mixing faith, keep declaring what God said, keep 198 00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:16,240 Speaker 1: talking like it's on the way. God is faithful to 199 00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:21,880 Speaker 1: his word. What's interesting is Joshua and Caleb, we're the 200 00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:25,560 Speaker 1: only two out of that whole group of over two 201 00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:29,120 Speaker 1: million people that ever made it into the Promised Land. 202 00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:33,200 Speaker 1: It's because they were the only two that mixed faith 203 00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:36,720 Speaker 1: with the promises, the only two that saw the word 204 00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:40,840 Speaker 1: profit them. Now, I wonder how many promises are not 205 00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:46,640 Speaker 1: profiting us simply because we're not mixing faith with them. Well, 206 00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:49,280 Speaker 1: if God wants to heal me, he'll heal me. If 207 00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:52,200 Speaker 1: he wants to bless me, he'll bless me. No, even 208 00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:56,280 Speaker 1: though God is all powerful, even though he controls the universe, 209 00:12:56,679 --> 00:13:01,720 Speaker 1: he needs an ingredient from you. Cure says, without faith, 210 00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:07,080 Speaker 1: it's impossible to please God. He doesn't necessarily need your talent, 211 00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:11,960 Speaker 1: your ability, your education. He needs your faith. He needs 212 00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:14,600 Speaker 1: you to get in agreement with him, to take that 213 00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:18,480 Speaker 1: promise and believe that it will come to pass. I 214 00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:20,600 Speaker 1: talked to a young lady that was trying to have 215 00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:24,160 Speaker 1: a baby. Years had gone by with no success, and 216 00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:28,160 Speaker 1: she had taken the fertility treatments. Now medically speaking, she 217 00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:31,800 Speaker 1: was told it was not possible. It's easy to accept 218 00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:34,520 Speaker 1: it and think it's not meant to be, But there 219 00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:38,280 Speaker 1: are promises you need to activate. It, says in Psalm 220 00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:42,240 Speaker 1: one thirteen, God will make the barn woman a happy 221 00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:46,480 Speaker 1: mother of children. God can bring your wound back to life. 222 00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:49,559 Speaker 1: It's not too late. He can cause you to defy 223 00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:53,360 Speaker 1: the odds and give you a child. But this promise 224 00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:56,360 Speaker 1: on its own won't do you any good. It's just 225 00:13:56,400 --> 00:14:01,800 Speaker 1: a hopeful statement. It needs another ingredient, your faith. I 226 00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:04,760 Speaker 1: can declare it over you. Other people can pray that 227 00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:07,640 Speaker 1: God will give you a child, and that's good. But 228 00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:11,320 Speaker 1: there's nothing more powerful than when you mix your faith 229 00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:14,640 Speaker 1: with the promise. That's when angels go to work. That's 230 00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:18,240 Speaker 1: when miracles are set into motion. Instead of thinking it 231 00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:21,440 Speaker 1: will never happen. All through the day, Father, thank you 232 00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:24,960 Speaker 1: that the fruit of my womb is blessed. Thank you 233 00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:28,240 Speaker 1: that there's a baby that already has my name on them. 234 00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:30,960 Speaker 1: Thank you for what you promised, that you will make 235 00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:36,120 Speaker 1: me the happy mother of children. Find promises that have 236 00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:39,560 Speaker 1: to do with what you're believing for and start mixing 237 00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:44,160 Speaker 1: your faith with them. There are blessings, healing, freedom, new 238 00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:48,200 Speaker 1: levels that God has for you, but they're only activated 239 00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:52,720 Speaker 1: when you get in agreement. Psalm thirty says God has 240 00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:56,840 Speaker 1: blessings stored up for the righteous. I want to activate 241 00:14:56,920 --> 00:15:00,600 Speaker 1: that promise. I need God's favor to fulfill my life destiny. 242 00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:04,600 Speaker 1: Every day I say Lord, thank you for those blessings 243 00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:07,120 Speaker 1: you have stored up for me. Thank you that you're 244 00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:10,240 Speaker 1: opening doors that no man can shut. Thank You that 245 00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:13,440 Speaker 1: your favor surrounds me like a shield. Thank You that 246 00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:16,680 Speaker 1: no good thing will you withhold because I walk up rightly. 247 00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:21,400 Speaker 1: That's not just quoting scripture. That's not just making hopeful statements. 248 00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:26,160 Speaker 1: That's mixing my faith. That's adding an ingredient that causes 249 00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:30,240 Speaker 1: what God said to become profitable to me. A couple 250 00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:34,440 Speaker 1: of weeks ago, an opportunity came that was more than 251 00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:37,960 Speaker 1: I could imagine. I wasn't looking for it. I didn't 252 00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:41,080 Speaker 1: know the people, wasn't trying to make it happen. It 253 00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:43,960 Speaker 1: was one of those blessings God had stored up for me. 254 00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:47,560 Speaker 1: It was his favor causing me to stand out. It 255 00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:51,040 Speaker 1: was his goodness chasing me down. But I don't believe 256 00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:54,040 Speaker 1: it would have happened if I had not been mixing 257 00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:58,080 Speaker 1: my faith with the promises. It wasn't a coincidence. I 258 00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:02,240 Speaker 1: didn't just get lucky. That was word profiting me because 259 00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:06,320 Speaker 1: I mixed it with faith. Maybe you've been through a disappointment, 260 00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:10,400 Speaker 1: a bad break. It's easy to live down discourage. Why 261 00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:14,120 Speaker 1: did this happen? Try a different approach, Father, Thank you 262 00:16:14,160 --> 00:16:17,080 Speaker 1: for what you promised that you will give me beauty 263 00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:20,480 Speaker 1: for these ashes. Thank you that you said all things 264 00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:24,000 Speaker 1: are working together for my good. You said no weapon 265 00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:27,760 Speaker 1: formed against me will prosper. This may have formed, but Lord, 266 00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:31,120 Speaker 1: I thank you that it's not going to prosper. When 267 00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:33,960 Speaker 1: you're in tough times, the enemy would love for you 268 00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:37,680 Speaker 1: to mix in self pity. God, I don't understand it. 269 00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:41,960 Speaker 1: Mix in bitterness, it's not fair, mix in doubt. I'll 270 00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:44,800 Speaker 1: never meet the right person. That's when you have to 271 00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:47,920 Speaker 1: dig down deep and say, God, I know you are 272 00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:50,840 Speaker 1: still on the throne. I know your plans for me 273 00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:53,720 Speaker 1: are for good. I know what was meant for harm. 274 00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:57,000 Speaker 1: You're turning to my advantage. I know my latter days 275 00:16:57,120 --> 00:17:01,000 Speaker 1: will be better than my former days. But you're mixing 276 00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:05,040 Speaker 1: with the promises will determine whether they come alive and 277 00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:08,640 Speaker 1: you see God's favor and blessings, or whether the promise 278 00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:12,480 Speaker 1: is will not profit you. I know a young lady 279 00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:15,840 Speaker 1: that was graduating from high school. Her dream was to 280 00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:19,720 Speaker 1: be in theater. She loved acting and singing, being a 281 00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:22,879 Speaker 1: part of plays. There was a prestigious school that she 282 00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:26,879 Speaker 1: really wanted to attend. She applied for a scholarship. The 283 00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:31,320 Speaker 1: problem was there were only twelve positions available, but twenty 284 00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:35,479 Speaker 1: six hundred other students applied as well. The chances of 285 00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:39,040 Speaker 1: her getting in were so small she could have been discouraged, 286 00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:42,919 Speaker 1: thought just my luck, it's never going to happen. But 287 00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:46,560 Speaker 1: instead of mixing doubt with the promises, thinking she didn't 288 00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:49,360 Speaker 1: have a chance, she did what I'm asking us to do. 289 00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:53,240 Speaker 1: All through the day, Father, thank you that your favor 290 00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:56,240 Speaker 1: is causing me to stand out, you said, because I 291 00:17:56,320 --> 00:17:59,639 Speaker 1: delight myself in you, you will give me the desires 292 00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:03,760 Speaker 1: of my life. Heart, she kept mixing faith, thanking God 293 00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:07,639 Speaker 1: that he was working, declaring favor, believing the right doors 294 00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:11,560 Speaker 1: would open. A few months later, she received an email. 295 00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:16,119 Speaker 1: It said, congratulations, out of the twenty six hundred students, 296 00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:20,280 Speaker 1: you're one of the twelve that we've chosen. God can 297 00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:23,160 Speaker 1: make a way where you don't see a way. He's 298 00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:26,800 Speaker 1: not limited by what you don't have. He's not intimidated 299 00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:30,160 Speaker 1: by what you're up against. The odds being against you 300 00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:34,080 Speaker 1: doesn't stop his plan. God is about to open a 301 00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:37,199 Speaker 1: door that you can't open. He's about to turn that 302 00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:41,000 Speaker 1: illness around. He's about to free you from that addiction. 303 00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:44,600 Speaker 1: That child is about to get back on course, God 304 00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:50,640 Speaker 1: has blessings stored up for you, healing, freedom, favor, breakthroughs. 305 00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:54,240 Speaker 1: Jod I don't think this will happen for me. I 306 00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:58,200 Speaker 1: never get any good breaks. You're right. You can't mix 307 00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:02,400 Speaker 1: doubt and see God's promises profit you. You can't mix 308 00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:06,479 Speaker 1: negative talking. Think it is not going to happen. Start 309 00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:09,560 Speaker 1: mixing faith. You don't have to see how it's going 310 00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:12,960 Speaker 1: to happen. God has ways you've never thought of. All 311 00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:16,600 Speaker 1: you have to do is get in agreement with him. Father, 312 00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:20,240 Speaker 1: you said in Ephesians that we would see the surpassing 313 00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:24,480 Speaker 1: greatness of your favor. You said whatever I touch would 314 00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:28,119 Speaker 1: prosper and succeed. You said you would always cause me 315 00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:31,000 Speaker 1: to triumph. I don't see a way, but I know 316 00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:33,960 Speaker 1: you have a way. The odds are against me, but 317 00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:37,520 Speaker 1: I know you are for me. You keep mixing faith 318 00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:40,919 Speaker 1: like that. God will make things happen that you can't 319 00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:44,040 Speaker 1: make happen. He'll take you where you can't go on 320 00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:49,040 Speaker 1: your own. In John chapter four, Jesus was traveling through Galilee. 321 00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:52,159 Speaker 1: He came to the town of Canaan. There was a 322 00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:55,600 Speaker 1: government official in another city that had a son that 323 00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:59,440 Speaker 1: was very sick close to death. When he heard Jesus 324 00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:02,760 Speaker 1: was in can, he rushed over there, fell at Jesus's 325 00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:06,760 Speaker 1: feet and begged him to heal his son. Jesus didn't 326 00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:10,360 Speaker 1: go at first, but the man pleaded, said please, Jesus, 327 00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:14,000 Speaker 1: come now. My little boy is about to die. Jesus 328 00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:16,800 Speaker 1: looked at the man and said, you can go back home. 329 00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:21,560 Speaker 1: Your son is healed. The scripture says the man believed 330 00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:25,960 Speaker 1: Jesus's word and started back home. The man could have thought, 331 00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:29,400 Speaker 1: I'm not leaving Jesus. You didn't even pray for my son. 332 00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:32,400 Speaker 1: You didn't even speak healing to him. I'm saying here 333 00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:36,080 Speaker 1: till you come with me. His attitude was, I've heard 334 00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:39,560 Speaker 1: the word, I've heard what God promised that my son 335 00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:42,800 Speaker 1: is well. I'm not going to mix in doubt. I'm 336 00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:45,080 Speaker 1: not going to mix in worry, think it is not 337 00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:47,880 Speaker 1: going to happen. He didn't do it my way. I'm 338 00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:50,439 Speaker 1: going to mix in the right ingredient. I'm going to 339 00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:54,080 Speaker 1: add my faith. Lord, I believe what you said. He 340 00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:58,760 Speaker 1: turned around and headed home. No sign that anything changed, 341 00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:02,560 Speaker 1: nothing looked in different. All he had was a promise. 342 00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:05,679 Speaker 1: But he did what I'm asking us to do. He 343 00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:09,280 Speaker 1: mixed faith with it. He wasn't moved by what he saw. 344 00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:13,880 Speaker 1: He wasn't discouraged because Jesus didn't come. He wasn't complaining 345 00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:17,639 Speaker 1: that it seemed impossible. He just kept thanking God for 346 00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:21,320 Speaker 1: what he heard. Every thought told him that his son 347 00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:25,200 Speaker 1: would never get well. It's too late. Jesus wouldn't come. 348 00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:29,600 Speaker 1: You should be disappointed. He had a thousand reasons to doubt, 349 00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:33,320 Speaker 1: to worry, to be upset, but he kept mixing his 350 00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:37,199 Speaker 1: faith with the promise. I believe he's healed. I believe 351 00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:41,119 Speaker 1: what Jesus said, that my son will live. While he 352 00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:45,359 Speaker 1: was walking home, people from his house came running toward him. 353 00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:49,200 Speaker 1: I can imagine him seeing them in the distance. Thought 354 00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:52,760 Speaker 1: started bombarding his mind. They're coming with the bad news. 355 00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:56,359 Speaker 1: Your son didn't make it. It's too late. Deep down, 356 00:21:56,640 --> 00:21:59,880 Speaker 1: he kept playing those words, thanking Jesus that my son 357 00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:03,959 Speaker 1: will live. Lord, I believe what you promised. The people 358 00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:06,679 Speaker 1: finally made it to him. They had a big smile. 359 00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:09,720 Speaker 1: They said, we have good news. All of a sudden, 360 00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:14,000 Speaker 1: your son got better. Now he's perfectly well, running around, 361 00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:18,760 Speaker 1: playing like nothing was ever wrong. That's what happens when 362 00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:22,560 Speaker 1: you add the right ingredient. To the promises. Not doubt, 363 00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:27,520 Speaker 1: not worry, not fear mix in your faith. Dare to 364 00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:30,879 Speaker 1: believe what God told you. Don't be moved by what 365 00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:34,320 Speaker 1: you don't see, by how long it's taking, by how 366 00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:37,600 Speaker 1: bad it looks, by what you don't have. God has 367 00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:42,280 Speaker 1: the final say. There are promises He's spoken to you. 368 00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:45,640 Speaker 1: You don't see anything changing. It's been a long time. 369 00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:49,040 Speaker 1: You're tempted to give up. God has you hearing this 370 00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:53,480 Speaker 1: because it's on the way. You are closer than you think. 371 00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:56,720 Speaker 1: This is not the time to start doubting. Now more 372 00:22:56,760 --> 00:22:59,600 Speaker 1: than ever. You need to stir up your faith. Keep 373 00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:03,280 Speaker 1: thanking God for what he promised, Keep declaring what he said, 374 00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:06,640 Speaker 1: Keep talking like it's on the way. Don't let those 375 00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:10,800 Speaker 1: negative thoughts override what God has spoken to your heart. 376 00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:13,960 Speaker 1: When you're fighting the illness, Father, thank you for what 377 00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:17,720 Speaker 1: you promised. I will live and not die and declare 378 00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:21,480 Speaker 1: the works of the Lord. When you're struggling in your finances, Lord, 379 00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:24,399 Speaker 1: thank you that I will lend and not borrow, that 380 00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:28,920 Speaker 1: whatever I touch will prosper and succeed. That's what brings 381 00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:33,320 Speaker 1: the promises to life. The scripture says all of God's 382 00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:37,920 Speaker 1: promises are yes and amen. God gives you the promise. 383 00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:40,800 Speaker 1: He gives you the yes, says I'm going to do it. 384 00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:44,439 Speaker 1: But the yes alone is not enough. You have to 385 00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:48,840 Speaker 1: add the amen to it. Amen means I believe it. God, 386 00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:52,440 Speaker 1: I'm in agreement with you. When Jesus told the man 387 00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:56,040 Speaker 1: your son is well, he gave him the yes, but 388 00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:58,840 Speaker 1: the man had to add the amen. If he would 389 00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:02,239 Speaker 1: have gone home, discourage. I can't believe Jesus wouldn't come 390 00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:04,840 Speaker 1: with me. I don't know if it would have been 391 00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:08,600 Speaker 1: the same outcome. God says, yes. Now do your part. 392 00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:12,520 Speaker 1: Add the amen to it. God said, your children will 393 00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:15,879 Speaker 1: be mighty in the land. Don't go by what you see. 394 00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:19,600 Speaker 1: Go by what God said. If you'll get in agreement 395 00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:23,400 Speaker 1: with God, it will change what you see. God said, 396 00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:26,840 Speaker 1: he's going to bring you to a flourishing finish. Your 397 00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:31,760 Speaker 1: response just three simple words. Lord, I believe God said 398 00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:35,119 Speaker 1: he will open the windows of heaven pour out blessings 399 00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:38,359 Speaker 1: that you cannot contain. I don't see how, Joel, You 400 00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:42,440 Speaker 1: don't have to see how. Lord. I believe God said 401 00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:46,520 Speaker 1: he's going to restore the years that were stolen. Lord, 402 00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:50,480 Speaker 1: I believe God said, the enemies you see today you 403 00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:53,640 Speaker 1: will see no more. You may think of a thousand 404 00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:56,360 Speaker 1: reasons why that's not going to happen. I can give 405 00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:59,879 Speaker 1: you one great reason while it will happen. The creator 406 00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:03,880 Speaker 1: of the universe, the God who spoke worlds into existence, 407 00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:07,720 Speaker 1: has declared it. He doesn't go back on his word. 408 00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:12,560 Speaker 1: I'm asking you to add the right ingredient. No more 409 00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:17,240 Speaker 1: mixing in doubt, no more mixing in unbelief. Start mixing 410 00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:21,440 Speaker 1: your faith so the promises will become profitable to you, 411 00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:25,160 Speaker 1: so you will see the greatness of our God. He 412 00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:28,560 Speaker 1: wants to show out in your life. He has awesome 413 00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:31,919 Speaker 1: things in your future. I never dreamed I would be 414 00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:35,280 Speaker 1: up here, never dreamed we would own the Compact Center. 415 00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:38,919 Speaker 1: This didn't happen because I had the most talent, the 416 00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:43,120 Speaker 1: most education, the most faith. The truth is I had 417 00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:47,480 Speaker 1: mustard seed faith. But I dared to believe what God said. 418 00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:51,080 Speaker 1: I dared to add the amen to what he promised. 419 00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:55,080 Speaker 1: Doors have opened that I never dreamed would open. Can 420 00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:58,320 Speaker 1: I encourage you? You're on the verge of something you've 421 00:25:58,359 --> 00:26:02,000 Speaker 1: never seen. God what is getting you prepared for the 422 00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:06,359 Speaker 1: surpassing greatness of His favor. It's going to seem too big. 423 00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:09,080 Speaker 1: You don't see how it can happen, how you could 424 00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:12,080 Speaker 1: afford it, how you could accomplish it. It's not going 425 00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:15,600 Speaker 1: to happen by your mind, by your power. The Most 426 00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:18,439 Speaker 1: High God is going to breathe on you in a 427 00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:21,240 Speaker 1: new way. He's going to make things happen that you 428 00:26:21,359 --> 00:26:24,560 Speaker 1: couldn't make happen. Now every day thank Him for the 429 00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:29,280 Speaker 1: promise in Ephesians for the far and beyond favor. If 430 00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:33,040 Speaker 1: you'll keep mixing faith with the promises I believe and 431 00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:37,000 Speaker 1: declare what God said, it's going to profit you. New 432 00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:39,960 Speaker 1: doors are about to open. The right people are about 433 00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:43,680 Speaker 1: to show up.

I'd like to give you an opportunity 437 00:26:57,040 --> 00:27:00,200 Speaker 1: to make Jesus the lord of your life. Do you 438 00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:04,480 Speaker 1: pray with me? Just say Lord, Jesus, I repent of 439 00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:08,320 Speaker 1: my sins. Come into my heart. I make you my 440 00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:12,199 Speaker 1: Lord and savior.
