We'd love to have you be 44 00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:15,840 Speaker 5: a part. But thanks for tuning in. I like to 45 00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:18,720 Speaker 5: start with something funny. And I heard about this lady 46 00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:22,200 Speaker 5: that died, and she was at the pearly gates. Saint 47 00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:24,720 Speaker 5: Peter said, you can't come in yet. You have to 48 00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:28,320 Speaker 5: correctly spell a word. She said what word? He said, 49 00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:31,880 Speaker 5: any word, So she spelled the word love l ovee. 50 00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:35,720 Speaker 5: Peter said, welcome to Heaven. Then Peter asked her if 51 00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:38,800 Speaker 5: she would take his place for a moment. He instructed 52 00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:41,680 Speaker 5: her that if anyone came, just to follow the same procedure. 53 00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:45,440 Speaker 5: In a few moments, she sees her ex husband walking up. 54 00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:48,600 Speaker 5: She can't believe it. She said, what are you doing here? 55 00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:51,320 Speaker 5: He said, I just had a heart attack. Did I 56 00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:54,040 Speaker 5: really make it to heaven? She said, not yet. You 57 00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:57,160 Speaker 5: have to correctly spell a word. He said what word. 58 00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:01,520 Speaker 5: There was a long pause, and she said, because Slovakia 59 00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:06,000 Speaker 5: say like you mean it. This is my Bible. I 60 00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:08,560 Speaker 5: am what it says I am. I have what it 61 00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:11,120 Speaker 5: says I have. I can do what it says I 62 00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:14,440 Speaker 5: can do. Today I will be taught the word of God. 63 00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:19,359 Speaker 5: I boldly confess. My mind is alert, my heart is receptive. 64 00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:23,400 Speaker 5: I will never be the same. In Jesus' name, God 65 00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:26,920 Speaker 5: bless you. I want to talk to you today about 66 00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:31,000 Speaker 5: God is your source. It's easy to look to people 67 00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:34,360 Speaker 5: as our source or look to our job as our source. 68 00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:39,280 Speaker 5: And yes, God uses people, he uses jobs, he uses contracts, 69 00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:42,640 Speaker 5: but they are not the source. They are simply a 70 00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:47,920 Speaker 5: resource that the source uses. And if you're seeing other things, 71 00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:52,200 Speaker 5: then God is your source. The problem is if something 72 00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:55,440 Speaker 5: happens to them, you'll think, what am I going to do? 73 00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:58,760 Speaker 5: The source has been cut off. No, the source is 74 00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:02,440 Speaker 5: just fine. God is still on the throne. The scripture 75 00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:06,520 Speaker 5: says that every good gift comes from our Father in 76 00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:11,280 Speaker 5: heaven above. That good gift may come through people, but 77 00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:16,080 Speaker 5: it came from God. Your salary may come through your company, 78 00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:20,000 Speaker 5: but it came from your heavenly father. He's the one 79 00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:22,440 Speaker 5: that caused them to hire you. He's the one that 80 00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:26,120 Speaker 5: calls you to stand out. He's using them as a resource. 81 00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:30,960 Speaker 5: Or that contract may come through a friend, through a connection, 82 00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:35,160 Speaker 5: but it came from God. That's why you don't have 83 00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:38,799 Speaker 5: to play up to people compromise to get a good break. 84 00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:43,400 Speaker 5: People are not your provider. God is your provider. That 85 00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:47,320 Speaker 5: job is simply the resource God chose to bless you. 86 00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:52,480 Speaker 5: If you don't understand this, you can make people your God. Well, 87 00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:56,520 Speaker 5: if this supervisor doesn't like me, if this contract doesn't last, 88 00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:59,000 Speaker 5: if these clients are not good to me, how am 89 00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:02,560 Speaker 5: I going to make it? Take people off the throne. 90 00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:06,760 Speaker 5: People are not your source. God is your source. Yes, 91 00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:09,680 Speaker 5: it's good when people are nice to you. It's nice 92 00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:13,440 Speaker 5: when they recognize your value. But don't become so dependent 93 00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:16,800 Speaker 5: on them that you start seeing them as your provider. 94 00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:22,840 Speaker 5: Recognize behind the resource is the source, Behind the salary, 95 00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:26,800 Speaker 5: behind the opportunity, behind the favor, is the most tied 96 00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:30,320 Speaker 5: God causing people to be good to you, causing doors 97 00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:34,279 Speaker 5: to open, causing clients to seek you out. Be grateful 98 00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:37,640 Speaker 5: for the resource, but keep your eyes on the source. 99 00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:41,920 Speaker 5: When Peter didn't have money to pay his taxes, Jesus 100 00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:44,599 Speaker 5: told him to go to the lake and catch a fish. 101 00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:48,000 Speaker 5: The first fish he caught had a gold coin in it, 102 00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:51,960 Speaker 5: enough to pay his taxes. God was showing us how 103 00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:56,120 Speaker 5: he can use different resources. If a contract at work 104 00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:58,760 Speaker 5: comes to an end, looks like you're going to be 105 00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:03,360 Speaker 5: set back, don't be discouraged. God has another fish. He 106 00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:06,440 Speaker 5: has ways that we've never thought of. As long as 107 00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:09,719 Speaker 5: you're keeping him first place, you are connected to a 108 00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:13,440 Speaker 5: supply line that will never run dry. You are not 109 00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:16,760 Speaker 5: at the mercy of the economy or your boss or 110 00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:20,160 Speaker 5: who likes you. God has all kinds of resources he 111 00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:24,039 Speaker 5: can use. I talked to a man after thirty two 112 00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:27,520 Speaker 5: years the company he worked for was sold. He was 113 00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:31,240 Speaker 5: without a job, and he was so discouraged. He never 114 00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:33,760 Speaker 5: dreamed at his age he would have to be starting over. 115 00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:37,640 Speaker 5: I told him what I'm telling you. That job was 116 00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:41,520 Speaker 5: simply the resource that God chose to bless you. It 117 00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:45,159 Speaker 5: is not the source. The source is fine. I saw 118 00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:48,320 Speaker 5: him about six months later, and he was so happy. 119 00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:51,880 Speaker 5: He said, Joel, I not only got another job, I 120 00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:56,400 Speaker 5: got my dream job, had better benefits, better income, closer 121 00:06:56,440 --> 00:07:00,760 Speaker 5: to his house. When the door closes you a setback, 122 00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:05,120 Speaker 5: you have to remind yourself it's not the resource blessing you, 123 00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:10,240 Speaker 5: it's the source. The scripture says you will prosper even 124 00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:14,720 Speaker 5: in the desert. Your lief will not wither. Even in famine. 125 00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:18,120 Speaker 5: You will have more than enough. It's showing us that 126 00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:22,960 Speaker 5: even though the circumstances may change, the source never changes. 127 00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:27,480 Speaker 5: Because you're connected to that source, you will be blessed. 128 00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:31,560 Speaker 5: In the famine. You will increase when others are decreasing 129 00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:36,120 Speaker 5: all through the day, Lord, I recognize you're the source 130 00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:39,720 Speaker 5: of my life. Yes, this job gives me a paycheck, 131 00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:43,520 Speaker 5: but you're the source of the income. Yes, this company 132 00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:46,240 Speaker 5: gave me a good position, but you're the source of 133 00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:50,240 Speaker 5: the favor. In the scripture, Ruth and her mother in 134 00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:54,880 Speaker 5: law were both widows. They were very poor, struggling to survive. 135 00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:58,560 Speaker 5: Ruth would go out into the fields each morning and 136 00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:03,040 Speaker 5: pick up the leftoverat that the workers had missed. One day, 137 00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:07,280 Speaker 5: the owner of the field, a man named Boaz, noticed Ruth, 138 00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:10,640 Speaker 5: and for some reason he decided to be good to her. 139 00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:14,760 Speaker 5: He told his workers to leave handfuls of wheat on 140 00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:19,280 Speaker 5: purpose for Ruth. Eventually Ruth found out it was him. 141 00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:23,040 Speaker 5: I could hear her telling her mother in law, this man, Boaz, 142 00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:26,880 Speaker 5: this owner, he's being so good to me. He's leaving 143 00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:31,480 Speaker 5: me so much wheat. Ruth thought it was Boaz being 144 00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:34,600 Speaker 5: good to her. The truth is it was God being 145 00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:38,640 Speaker 5: good to her. Boaz was the resource, but God was 146 00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:43,079 Speaker 5: the source. God was the one speaking to Boaz giving 147 00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:46,760 Speaker 5: him that desire to be good to her. How many 148 00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:50,520 Speaker 5: times has God spoken to people to be good to us? 149 00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:53,880 Speaker 5: And we didn't even know it for no reason. They 150 00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:57,320 Speaker 5: decided to help us. They opened a door, they gave 151 00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:00,200 Speaker 5: us a position, they introduced us to a friend, and 152 00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:04,600 Speaker 5: they were a resource that the Source was using. The 153 00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:08,880 Speaker 5: longer I live, the more I recognized God's goodness in 154 00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:13,160 Speaker 5: my life. Things that I thought were a coincidence, I 155 00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:15,400 Speaker 5: thought were people just wanting to be good to me. 156 00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:20,160 Speaker 5: I realize now it was the source. Doors that opened 157 00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:23,480 Speaker 5: that you couldn't open. Somebody decided to give you a 158 00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:26,240 Speaker 5: good break. You were at the right place at the 159 00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:29,840 Speaker 5: right time, met that person and fell in love. That 160 00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:34,440 Speaker 5: wasn't a coincidence. That was the source, that person that 161 00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:36,640 Speaker 5: put in a good word for you, and you got 162 00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:41,160 Speaker 5: the promotion. You weren't lucky. That was God speaking to them, 163 00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:45,800 Speaker 5: like he spoke to Boaz. Every good thing comes from 164 00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:49,040 Speaker 5: our Father above. They may not have even known it 165 00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:52,200 Speaker 5: was God speaking to them. They just suddenly had a 166 00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:55,080 Speaker 5: desire to be good to you, to stay laid, and 167 00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:58,440 Speaker 5: introduce you to the client, to waive the policy and 168 00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:03,000 Speaker 5: put the loan through. Are you recognizing the source? Are 169 00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:07,000 Speaker 5: you thanking God for every good gift? Do you realize 170 00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:10,040 Speaker 5: you wouldn't have waken up this morning. Without the source, 171 00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:14,040 Speaker 5: you wouldn't have air to breathe without the source. Your 172 00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:17,480 Speaker 5: eyes wouldn't see without the source. You wouldn't have that 173 00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:21,559 Speaker 5: person to love without the Source. Don't get so caught 174 00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:25,640 Speaker 5: up in the resources that you forget it's the most 175 00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:30,400 Speaker 5: tied God working in your life. It's God protecting you 176 00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:34,440 Speaker 5: from that accident. It was God healing you from the cancer, 177 00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:38,240 Speaker 5: not just the medicine. It was the Source. When you 178 00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:42,040 Speaker 5: look back over your life, nothing was a coincidence. There 179 00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:45,719 Speaker 5: were no lucky breaks. What you thought was just Boaz 180 00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:49,480 Speaker 5: being good to you, leaving you handfuls on purpose, that 181 00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:53,600 Speaker 5: was the hand of God, the Source, working behind the scenes, 182 00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:56,880 Speaker 5: telling them to be good to you. When we were 183 00:10:56,880 --> 00:11:01,000 Speaker 5: trying to acquire this facility, the former compt Center, it 184 00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:03,920 Speaker 5: was owned by the city, so we had to get 185 00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:07,560 Speaker 5: the city council members to vote to approve it. I 186 00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:10,720 Speaker 5: had never been involved in any kind of politics and 187 00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:14,920 Speaker 5: convincing council members. This was way out of my expertise. 188 00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:19,719 Speaker 5: Someone randomly introduced us to a man that had been 189 00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:23,400 Speaker 5: in city politics his whole life. He'd worked for different 190 00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:28,560 Speaker 5: mayors for many years. He wasn't the typical white collar 191 00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:32,480 Speaker 5: professional that you might envision. He was kind of rough, 192 00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:36,600 Speaker 5: he liked to party, he liked to drink, didn't always 193 00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:40,480 Speaker 5: use good language. But for some reason, he really liked us. 194 00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:43,680 Speaker 5: He really wanted us to get the building. He went 195 00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:48,280 Speaker 5: overboard to make things happen. He used his favor, his 196 00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:52,440 Speaker 5: influence to sway people. Early on, there was a council 197 00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:56,240 Speaker 5: member that was against us. He said, don't worry, he'll 198 00:11:56,320 --> 00:12:00,720 Speaker 5: vote for us. He owes me. I didn't ask for 199 00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:04,800 Speaker 5: any details. I just said, thank you Jesus here. This 200 00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:07,600 Speaker 5: man had not been in church his whole life, but 201 00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:10,839 Speaker 5: he was doing all he could to help Lakewood get 202 00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:15,680 Speaker 5: the building. I realize now that wasn't just him deciding 203 00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:18,920 Speaker 5: to help us, him just deciding to do a good deed. 204 00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:22,720 Speaker 5: He was a resource that the Source was using. He 205 00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:25,880 Speaker 5: may not have even known that was God speaking to him. 206 00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:28,720 Speaker 5: After we got the building, he came to a service 207 00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:33,080 Speaker 5: years later. He was being interviewed about the process and 208 00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:35,960 Speaker 5: about why he had helped us. He said, I don't 209 00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:39,040 Speaker 5: go to church. I went to Lakewood one time, and 210 00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:42,280 Speaker 5: I don't like the circus. He referred to us as 211 00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:46,160 Speaker 5: the circus. And yes, our services are fun and exciting 212 00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:48,960 Speaker 5: and in a few minutes, the elephants will be coming out, 213 00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:52,520 Speaker 5: and at the end Victoria is going to walk the 214 00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:56,839 Speaker 5: high wire. Followed Baba brother Paul being shot out of 215 00:12:56,840 --> 00:12:59,960 Speaker 5: a cannon. So stay for that. None of that bothered, 216 00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:03,080 Speaker 5: But he went on to save And I'm not telling 217 00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:05,000 Speaker 5: you this to brag on me, just to make the point. 218 00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:08,680 Speaker 5: He said, I help them because I've never met anyone 219 00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:11,600 Speaker 5: like Joel. I would walk through a fire for that man. 220 00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:16,080 Speaker 5: I would love to think that I'm that charming, I'm 221 00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:19,559 Speaker 5: that dynamic. Can I tell you I'm not. I hardly 222 00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:23,000 Speaker 5: even knew him. That was the source. That was God 223 00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:26,600 Speaker 5: putting the right people in our path, causing them to. 224 00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:27,240 Speaker 4: Want to be good. 225 00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:31,560 Speaker 5: To Second King's chapter four, there's a story about a lady. 226 00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:35,319 Speaker 5: She and her husband were friends with the prophet Elisha, 227 00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:39,720 Speaker 5: but the husband had died. Years had passed. Now this 228 00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:43,120 Speaker 5: lady didn't have any money to pay her bills. It 229 00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:46,520 Speaker 5: was so bad the creditors were coming to take her 230 00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:50,640 Speaker 5: two sons as payment. You can imagine how distraught she was. 231 00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:54,800 Speaker 5: The prophet Elisha came by and asked what she had 232 00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:58,720 Speaker 5: in her house. Her first answer was nothing at all. 233 00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:02,120 Speaker 5: She was saying a lot. I'm done. It's too late. 234 00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:06,439 Speaker 5: The odds are against me. Sometimes when we look at 235 00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:10,080 Speaker 5: what we have compared to what we need, we think, 236 00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:13,640 Speaker 5: like her, I'll never accomplish my dreams. I don't have 237 00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:17,000 Speaker 5: what I need. I'll never get well, I'll never get 238 00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:21,160 Speaker 5: out of debt. We look at the circumstances, at the resources, 239 00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:24,880 Speaker 5: the medical report, the bank account. Here's the key. The 240 00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:28,520 Speaker 5: resource may have dried up, but the source is still 241 00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:32,800 Speaker 5: alive and well. She finally said, Elisha, I do have 242 00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:36,360 Speaker 5: one thing in my house, but really it's nothing, just 243 00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:40,320 Speaker 5: a little bottle of olive oil. She thought. It's really 244 00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:44,360 Speaker 5: not worth mentioning. I have this huge debt. All I 245 00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:48,080 Speaker 5: have is something worth a few dollars. Don't discount the 246 00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:53,760 Speaker 5: small things you have. Don't discount small opportunities, small gifts, 247 00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:57,960 Speaker 5: small income. May seem small to you, but God knows 248 00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:02,040 Speaker 5: how to multiply. The script says, if you have faith 249 00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:04,800 Speaker 5: the size of a mustard seed, that's one of the 250 00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:08,520 Speaker 5: smallest seeds. You could say to this mountain, be removed, 251 00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:12,640 Speaker 5: and it will move. God doesn't expect us to have 252 00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:15,920 Speaker 5: great faith all the time. It's nice when we do, 253 00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:19,480 Speaker 5: but God is so merciful. He knew there would be 254 00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:22,880 Speaker 5: times like this, lady, we would think this is impossible. 255 00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:26,240 Speaker 5: If you'll just say, God, all I have is this 256 00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:30,000 Speaker 5: little bit of oil, All I have is mustard seed. Faith, 257 00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:33,960 Speaker 5: Watch what God will do. Elisha told her to go 258 00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:38,040 Speaker 5: out and borrow as many large containers as she could find. 259 00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:41,480 Speaker 5: I can see this lady knocking on door after door, 260 00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:45,480 Speaker 5: carrying those empty containers back to her house. Don't you 261 00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:49,960 Speaker 5: know God saw her faith. God saw her being obedient, 262 00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:54,320 Speaker 5: doing what she could. When you're in difficult times, don't 263 00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:58,080 Speaker 5: sit around in self pity. Do something where God can 264 00:15:58,160 --> 00:16:02,240 Speaker 5: see your faith. Make play to get well, make plans 265 00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:05,640 Speaker 5: to come out of death. Are you gathering up any containers? 266 00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:08,800 Speaker 5: Are you taking steps of faith to show God that 267 00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:13,040 Speaker 5: you're ready for favor. Neighbors started asking, why do you 268 00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:16,240 Speaker 5: even need these empty containers. You don't have anything to 269 00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:18,560 Speaker 5: put in it, just a little bit of olive oil. 270 00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:21,920 Speaker 5: She answered, I may not have it yet, but I 271 00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:25,040 Speaker 5: know it's on the way. I know the prophet wouldn't 272 00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:27,360 Speaker 5: have asked me to do it if God wasn't up 273 00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:30,920 Speaker 5: to some thief. Faith started to rise in her heart. 274 00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:35,280 Speaker 5: All the circumstances were against her friends trying to talk 275 00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:38,160 Speaker 5: her out of it her own thoughts, telling her no way. 276 00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:42,200 Speaker 5: Her attitude was, I may not see how this can happen, 277 00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:45,920 Speaker 5: but I know a secret. God is my source. He's 278 00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:49,640 Speaker 5: my provider. I'm connected to that supply line that won't 279 00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:53,840 Speaker 5: run dry. Lysia said to her pour the little bit 280 00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:57,920 Speaker 5: of oil into the first container. That didn't make sense. 281 00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:00,240 Speaker 5: What good was it going to do to trainans for 282 00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:04,200 Speaker 5: oil from one container to the other. What God asked 283 00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:08,280 Speaker 5: us to do many times is more about the obedience 284 00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:12,000 Speaker 5: than the actual thing that we're doing. It's a test. 285 00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:16,400 Speaker 5: If you'll obey, you'll see God's favor. In the scripture, 286 00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:21,120 Speaker 5: Naeman was an army captain, but he had leprosy. God 287 00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:24,119 Speaker 5: told him to go wash in the Jordan rivers seven 288 00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:27,600 Speaker 5: times and he would be healed. Naeman didn't want to 289 00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:30,680 Speaker 5: do that. He came up with all these excuses, God, 290 00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:33,960 Speaker 5: the water's too dirty, we have better rivers back at. 291 00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:34,760 Speaker 1: Home, on and on. 292 00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:38,600 Speaker 5: He almost talked himself out of it. The last moment 293 00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:40,800 Speaker 5: he decided to do it. When he came up the 294 00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:45,720 Speaker 5: seventh time, his skin was perfectly normal. The healing wasn't 295 00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:49,640 Speaker 5: in the water. The healing was in the obedience. Are 296 00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:52,240 Speaker 5: you doing what God is asking you to do? Are 297 00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:55,760 Speaker 5: you gathering the containers? Are you pouring the oil? This 298 00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:57,920 Speaker 5: lady could have said, Elisha, I'm not gonna do that. 299 00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:00,600 Speaker 5: It's gonna be a waste of time. She would have 300 00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:04,280 Speaker 5: missed her miracle. When she poured the little oil into 301 00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:08,840 Speaker 5: the first container, the oil never stopped flowing. She filled 302 00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:11,159 Speaker 5: the first one up, then the second, then the third. 303 00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:14,840 Speaker 5: That doesn't make sense. Where was the oil coming from 304 00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:19,280 Speaker 5: the source. When you do what God asked you to do, 305 00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:22,840 Speaker 5: that doesn't make sense. God will do things for you 306 00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:27,000 Speaker 5: that don't make sense. He'll show out in your life. 307 00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:31,480 Speaker 5: This lady kept pouring oil until all the containers were full. 308 00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:34,720 Speaker 5: Then she went out and sold it. She was able 309 00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:37,640 Speaker 5: to pay all of her bills. She had plenty left 310 00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:41,119 Speaker 5: over to live on. That little bit of oil should 311 00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:45,760 Speaker 5: have run out. But God has supernatural provision. He knows 312 00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:49,360 Speaker 5: how to not only sustain you, but to increase you 313 00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:53,280 Speaker 5: to where you defied the odds. You may have areas 314 00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:56,360 Speaker 5: in your life that are dry. Now. You haven't seen 315 00:18:56,480 --> 00:19:00,600 Speaker 5: much good, breaks, seen any favor, any increase seems like 316 00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:05,119 Speaker 5: it's permanent. No, get ready, The flow is coming. God 317 00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:08,360 Speaker 5: is about to do something unusual. You couldn't have made 318 00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:11,920 Speaker 5: it happen. The odds were against you. But the Source 319 00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:15,840 Speaker 5: is going to send a supernatural flow. It may look 320 00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:19,399 Speaker 5: like your dream has died up. Fever is about to flow, 321 00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:23,800 Speaker 5: Finances are about to flow. Good breaks are about to flow. 322 00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:27,080 Speaker 5: The right people are going to flow. You're not going 323 00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:29,320 Speaker 5: to have to find them. They're going to find you. 324 00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:33,879 Speaker 5: The medical report may not look good. You feel stuck 325 00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:38,680 Speaker 5: in your health. Receive this into your spirit. Healing is flowing, 326 00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:44,240 Speaker 5: restoration is flowing. Strength is flowing. You haven't been able 327 00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:47,560 Speaker 5: to get ahead in your career. People have held you back, 328 00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:51,480 Speaker 5: left you out. Don't get discouraged. The flow is coming. 329 00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:56,080 Speaker 5: Promotion is going to flow, Ideas are about to flow, 330 00:19:56,240 --> 00:20:00,600 Speaker 5: Creativity is going to flow. Everything that has stopped your flow. 331 00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:04,879 Speaker 5: I believe right now those forces have been broken. You 332 00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:11,840 Speaker 5: are coming into supernatural provision, supernatural healing, supernatural connections. You've 333 00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:15,720 Speaker 5: heard the saying it's showtime. God is saying it's flow time. 334 00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:20,199 Speaker 5: He's about to open the windows of heaven pour our 335 00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:24,720 Speaker 5: blessings that you could not contain. One touch of God's 336 00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:29,480 Speaker 5: favor will take you from famine to flourishing, from barely 337 00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:33,240 Speaker 5: enough to more than enough. Now get in agreement with 338 00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:37,320 Speaker 5: God Father. Thank you that this job is not my source, 339 00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:41,000 Speaker 5: but you are my source. Lord. I'm grateful for the medicine, 340 00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:43,880 Speaker 5: but I know you're my healer. Lord. I don't see 341 00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:46,879 Speaker 5: how I can accomplish my dreams, but I know you 342 00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:50,359 Speaker 5: have a way where I don't see away. I talked 343 00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:52,720 Speaker 5: to a couple that wanted to buy a house in 344 00:20:52,760 --> 00:20:56,200 Speaker 5: another state, and they were looking in this particular neighborhood. 345 00:20:56,680 --> 00:20:59,639 Speaker 5: They had found this one house that they really liked, 346 00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:02,720 Speaker 5: but every time they tried to move forward, they didn't 347 00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:06,679 Speaker 5: feel peace about it. After several months, they found a 348 00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:10,639 Speaker 5: much larger piece of property right on the outskirts of 349 00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:15,399 Speaker 5: the neighborhood. In the natural, being in the subdivision would 350 00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:18,560 Speaker 5: have been a better investment. The property values were higher, 351 00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:21,600 Speaker 5: but even though they could afford it, because they didn't 352 00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:24,920 Speaker 5: have peace about it, they bought this property right outside 353 00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:29,240 Speaker 5: the neighborhood. Several months later, two men knocked on their door. 354 00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:33,400 Speaker 5: They were geologists. They told how they had been studying 355 00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:37,919 Speaker 5: that area for years. They had discovered a massive amount 356 00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:42,400 Speaker 5: of oil under the subdivision. The problem was the houses 357 00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:46,320 Speaker 5: were too close together for them to drill. They said, 358 00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:49,600 Speaker 5: if you'll let us lease part of your property so 359 00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:52,760 Speaker 5: we can drill into the neighborhood, we'll give you a 360 00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:56,360 Speaker 5: commission not only off your land, but off of all 361 00:21:56,440 --> 00:22:00,160 Speaker 5: the properties in the neighborhood. There were twelve hundred homes 362 00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:05,520 Speaker 5: in that subdivision. Isaiah said, God knows where the hidden 363 00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:06,600 Speaker 5: riches are found. 364 00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:07,800 Speaker 4: You know why. 365 00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:11,200 Speaker 5: He's the one that put them there. He's the source, 366 00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:15,600 Speaker 5: the creator of the universe, the most hi God. And 367 00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:18,480 Speaker 5: things may not be flowing in your life right now, 368 00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:22,160 Speaker 5: but God knows where all the treasures are. He knows 369 00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:24,359 Speaker 5: how to put you at the right place at the 370 00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:27,679 Speaker 5: right time. He may not have you strike all, but 371 00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:31,000 Speaker 5: he can give you one idea that will catapult you ahead. 372 00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:34,280 Speaker 5: He can cause one person to come across your path 373 00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:37,600 Speaker 5: like he did for us. You'll accomplish a dream that 374 00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:41,960 Speaker 5: seems impossible. He knows not only what you need, but 375 00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:45,439 Speaker 5: he knows when you're going to need it. Nineteen ninety seven, 376 00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:49,479 Speaker 5: I was walking through the lobby before service one Sunday morning. 377 00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:53,000 Speaker 5: A man stopped me and said that his cousin had 378 00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:57,959 Speaker 5: a construction permit for the last full power commercial television 379 00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:01,800 Speaker 5: station in Houston off the permit and put the station 380 00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:04,560 Speaker 5: on the air. I thought that's what I would do 381 00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:08,919 Speaker 5: with my life. I loved production cameras and editing, and 382 00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:12,120 Speaker 5: having a station seemed like a perfect fit. But two 383 00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:14,760 Speaker 5: years later, my father went to be with the Lord. 384 00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:18,440 Speaker 5: I never dreamed that I would become the pastor. Now 385 00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:22,040 Speaker 5: my focus had changed. Two thousand and three, we acquired 386 00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:25,480 Speaker 5: the Compact Center, and we need one hundred million dollars 387 00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:29,320 Speaker 5: to renovate, so we decided to sell the station. We 388 00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:33,040 Speaker 5: listed it at a certain price. All the experts said 389 00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:36,240 Speaker 5: that we would never get that much. One man had 390 00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:40,439 Speaker 5: sold more television stations in the US than anyone else. 391 00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:44,120 Speaker 5: He said, we were wasting our time asking that amount. 392 00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:47,600 Speaker 5: A year later, we sold it for more than we 393 00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:50,760 Speaker 5: were asking, over five times what we purchased it for. 394 00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:54,399 Speaker 5: We used those funds to renovate this facility. What am 395 00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:58,960 Speaker 5: I saying? God has already lined up everything you're going 396 00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:04,040 Speaker 5: to need. He's the source, He's the provider. The scripture says, 397 00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:07,800 Speaker 5: no good thing will he withhold because you walk up 398 00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:11,680 Speaker 5: right there. He's not going to withhold the finances, the health, 399 00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:16,000 Speaker 5: the ideas, the connections, quit worrying about how it's going 400 00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:19,040 Speaker 5: to happen. God has it figured out. He knows how 401 00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:22,320 Speaker 5: to get you to your destiny. Now, maybe you've been 402 00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:25,439 Speaker 5: trying to do this only in your own strength. You 403 00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:28,520 Speaker 5: put forth your best effort. You've tried to get people 404 00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:32,359 Speaker 5: to help you. It's time to go to the source. God. 405 00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:35,280 Speaker 5: I can't do it on my own. I'm asking you 406 00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:38,720 Speaker 5: to bring this dream to pass. God, I'm asking you 407 00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:41,800 Speaker 5: to turn my health around. I'm asking you to help 408 00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:45,280 Speaker 5: me to conceive to have this baby. The scripture says, 409 00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:48,240 Speaker 5: call on the name of the Lord, and he will 410 00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:53,160 Speaker 5: answer you. Sometimes we call on people, we call on friends, 411 00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:56,439 Speaker 5: we call on our spouse. They can only do so much. 412 00:24:56,840 --> 00:24:59,800 Speaker 5: But when you call on the source, the creator of 413 00:24:59,800 --> 00:25:03,080 Speaker 5: the universe, that's when things will happen that you couldn't 414 00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:08,200 Speaker 5: make happen. God wants us to depend on him. When 415 00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:10,800 Speaker 5: we recognize we can't do it on our own. We 416 00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:15,600 Speaker 5: are limited, we have restrictions by ourselves. Will get stuck. 417 00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:18,960 Speaker 5: But when you ask God to help you, when you 418 00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:24,680 Speaker 5: call on your creator, supernatural things will happen. God is unlimited, 419 00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:28,879 Speaker 5: He controls the universe. The good news is he wants 420 00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:32,520 Speaker 5: to help you. He wants to heal you, to increase you, 421 00:25:32,800 --> 00:25:35,080 Speaker 5: to take you where you couldn't go on your own. 422 00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:38,600 Speaker 5: He's longing to be good to you. Look to him 423 00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:43,000 Speaker 5: as your source. John chapter twenty one. Peter was out 424 00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:46,800 Speaker 5: fishing with some of the disciples. Jesus had been crucified 425 00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:50,840 Speaker 5: and just risen from the dead. You can imagine how 426 00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:54,560 Speaker 5: discouraged Peter must have been and even confused now that 427 00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:58,600 Speaker 5: Jesus was not there. Peter went back to doing what 428 00:25:58,760 --> 00:26:01,600 Speaker 5: he knew how to do. That was fishing. He had 429 00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:04,680 Speaker 5: done that his whole life. Well, they had fished all 430 00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:09,600 Speaker 5: night and caught nothing. Early the next morning, Jesus appeared 431 00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:13,080 Speaker 5: to them. He came walking up on the beach and said, 432 00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:16,920 Speaker 5: have you caught anything? They said no. He said, throw 433 00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:19,280 Speaker 5: your nets on the right side of the boat and 434 00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:22,679 Speaker 5: you'll catch some fish. When they did, they caught a 435 00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:27,560 Speaker 5: whole net full of fish. Instantly Peter recognized that it 436 00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:30,760 Speaker 5: was Jesus. He jumped out of the boat and swam 437 00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:35,320 Speaker 5: to the shore. Jesus had fish cooking over a fire. 438 00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:39,560 Speaker 5: He gave Peter some to eat what Peter was trying 439 00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:43,240 Speaker 5: to catch. Jesus not only had waiting for him, but 440 00:26:43,359 --> 00:26:47,480 Speaker 5: he had it cooked and ready to eat. God is saying, 441 00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:51,960 Speaker 5: what you're trying to accomplish on your own, if you'll 442 00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:56,399 Speaker 5: look to me, if you'll recognize I'm the source, you'll 443 00:26:56,400 --> 00:27:00,840 Speaker 5: see I have it cooked and already prepared, it already 444 00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:05,080 Speaker 5: waiting for you. Like Peter, you may have done it 445 00:27:05,119 --> 00:27:08,160 Speaker 5: in the past, you were good at it. But there 446 00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:11,080 Speaker 5: are times that God will not let what worked in 447 00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:14,960 Speaker 5: the past continue to work because he knows we'll think 448 00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:18,240 Speaker 5: we're doing it in our own strength, our own ability. 449 00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:22,000 Speaker 5: God wants us to see him as the source, to 450 00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:25,920 Speaker 5: recognize his blessings. But too often we're striving to make 451 00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:29,840 Speaker 5: it happen, trying to beat down a door, discourage because 452 00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:32,639 Speaker 5: it's taken too long. God is saying, come to me, 453 00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:37,560 Speaker 5: ask me for help, acknowledge me every day as your source. 454 00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:42,520 Speaker 5: Peter worked all night trying to catch fish, while Jesus 455 00:27:42,680 --> 00:27:45,880 Speaker 5: was sitting on the shore with a fish dinner waiting 456 00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:50,760 Speaker 5: for him. What you're believing for God has already prepared. 457 00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:55,240 Speaker 5: The fish is already caught, the spouse is already picked out, 458 00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:58,840 Speaker 5: the dream is already lined up, the healing has already 459 00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:02,520 Speaker 5: been purchased. The fire is lit the fish is on 460 00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:06,240 Speaker 5: the grill. You're about to come into a prepared blessing. 461 00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:09,560 Speaker 5: What you couldn't do on your own. God is about 462 00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:14,920 Speaker 5: to make happen. Now do your part. Recognize Him as 463 00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:18,960 Speaker 5: the source. Every morning. Lord, thank you that you are 464 00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:23,119 Speaker 5: my provider. I recognize you are the giver of every 465 00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:26,199 Speaker 5: good thing in my life. If you'll do this, I 466 00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:29,880 Speaker 5: believe and declare. God is about to bring you some 467 00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:33,920 Speaker 5: cooked fish, some prepared blessings. You're going to come into 468 00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:40,200 Speaker 5: increase promotion, healing the fullness of your destiny in Jesus's name, 469 00:28:40,640 --> 00:28:42,520 Speaker 5: and if you receive it, can you say ah men? 470 00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:47,240 Speaker 5: Today I'd like to give you an opportunity to make 471 00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:50,520 Speaker 5: Jesus the lord of your life. Would you pray with me? 472 00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:57,080 Speaker 5: Just say, Lord, Jesus, I repent of my sins, Come 473 00:28:57,080 --> 00:29:02,720 Speaker 5: into my heart. I'll make you my life and savior. Friends, 474 00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:05,360 Speaker 5: if you prayed that simple prayer, we believe you got 475 00:29:05,360 --> 00:29:08,480 Speaker 5: born again.
