Speaker 4: You feel right at home.
Speaker 5: I like to start with something funny, and I heard
Speaker 5: about this pastor. He was in the lobby after the service,
Speaker 5: greeting people. He saw a man that he hadn't seen
Speaker 5: in a.
Speaker 4: Long long time.
Speaker 5: He pulled him aside and said, sir, you need to
Speaker 5: join the Army of the Lord. Man said, what are
Speaker 5: you talking about. I'm in the Army of the Lord.
Speaker 5: The pastor said, well, how come I only see you
Speaker 5: on Easter in Christmas? He whispered back, I'm in the
Speaker 5: secret Service.
Speaker 4: Say it like you mean it. This is my Bible.
Speaker 4: I am what it says. I am.
Speaker 5: I have what it says I have. I can do
Speaker 5: what it says I can do. Today I will be
Speaker 5: taught the word of God. I boldly confess. My mind
Speaker 5: is alert, my heart is receptive. I will never be
Speaker 5: the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you. I want
Speaker 5: to talk to you today about it's already set up.
Speaker 5: It's easy to go through life worried about how we're
Speaker 5: going to accomplish a dream, how we're going to get
Speaker 5: out of a.
Speaker 4: Problem, how we're going to meet the right person.
Speaker 5: We look at all the reasons why it's not going
Speaker 5: to work out. But when God laid out the plan
Speaker 5: for your life, he lined up everything you need to
Speaker 5: fulfill your destiny, every good break, every person, every solution.
Speaker 5: He's not trying to figure out how to do it.
Speaker 4: It's already set up.
Speaker 5: He's already set up the promotion, he's already set up
Speaker 5: the healing. That problem you don't think will turn around,
Speaker 5: He's already set up the answer. It's not a surprise
Speaker 5: to him. He had the solution before you had the problem.
Speaker 5: Those things that you're dreaming about, the desires God's put
Speaker 5: it in your heart, seems so unlikely. God wouldn't have
Speaker 5: given you the dream and not made a way to.
Speaker 4: Bring it to pass. It's already in.
Speaker 5: Your future waiting for you, And if you will stay
Speaker 5: in faith and not let negative voices talk you out
Speaker 5: of it, you'll come in to what God has already
Speaker 5: set up in Luke twenty two Jesus was about to
Speaker 5: be crucified. He told Peter and John to go ahead
Speaker 5: of him to Jerusalem and make arrangements for the Passover Meal,
Speaker 5: now known as the Last Supper.
Speaker 4: They asked them where to go.
Speaker 5: He told them as soon as they entered the city,
Speaker 5: a man would meet them carrying a pitcher of water.
Speaker 4: He would lead them to a certain house.
Speaker 5: They were to ask the owner where the guest room
Speaker 5: was where they could have the passover meal. Verse twelve
Speaker 5: says the owner will take you upstairs to a large
Speaker 5: room that is already set up. He didn't say, go
Speaker 5: to the house. Tell them Jesus wants to have dinner.
Speaker 5: Quit get it set up, Get the food, get the table.
Speaker 5: He said, it's already set up. What God has planned
Speaker 5: for you. He's not thinking about doing. Maybe one day
Speaker 5: it'll happen. One day he'll bring it together.
Speaker 4: It's already in place.
Speaker 5: The good news is God knows how to get you there.
Speaker 5: Notice how detailed Jesus was.
Speaker 4: He said, as soon as you enter the.
Speaker 5: City, you'll meet a man, not just any man, a
Speaker 5: man carrying a picture of water. He will lead you
Speaker 5: to a house. You tell the owner what I need.
Speaker 5: He'll take you upstairs.
Speaker 4: It was like a movie.
Speaker 5: All these details had to come together at the exact
Speaker 5: right time. If the man would have been late in
Speaker 5: the city, the disciples would have missed him.
Speaker 4: If he hadn't been carrying.
Speaker 5: A picture of water, they wouldn't have known who to follow.
Speaker 5: If he led them to the wrong house, nothing would
Speaker 5: have been prepared. The right person, the right house, the
Speaker 5: right timing. Everything fell precisely into place. What am I saying,
Speaker 5: God is not only strategically directing your steps, but he's
Speaker 5: orchestrating everything around you.
Speaker 4: He has the.
Speaker 5: People you need that will be there not just to
Speaker 5: meet you, but they will lead you to your blessing,
Speaker 5: lead you to a promotion, lead you to the next level.
Speaker 5: They didn't have to convince the owner to be good
Speaker 5: to them. Please do us a favor. Jesus really wants
Speaker 5: to come have dinner here tonight. The owner was expecting them.
Speaker 5: He already knew they were coming. He had the table
Speaker 5: already set up. God has some of these already set
Speaker 5: up blessings waiting for you. He's already spoken to the
Speaker 5: right people.
Speaker 4: To be good to you.
Speaker 5: He's lined up divine connections people that will go out
Speaker 5: of their way to show you favor. You don't have
Speaker 5: to try to manipulate people force a door to open.
Speaker 5: The people God has ordained to help you. He's already
Speaker 5: prepared their hearts.
Speaker 4: They'll have the table already set up.
Speaker 5: A man I know went to a government office to
Speaker 5: get some paperwork so that his business could grow. The
Speaker 5: clerk behind the counter was very unhelpful, very rude, like
Speaker 5: he was annoyed. He took the men's information but told
Speaker 5: him that they were so backed up it could take five.
Speaker 4: Years for the paperwork to go through.
Speaker 5: The man was very disappointed, and he said, nicely, is
Speaker 5: there anything you can do to speed it up. The
Speaker 5: clerk practically yelled back at him, Sir, I told you
Speaker 5: we're backed up. It's going to take five years. He
Speaker 5: left there, discouraged. Two weeks later, the clerk called and
Speaker 5: said his paperwork had gone through. The man was excited
Speaker 5: and went down and saw the clerk.
Speaker 4: Thanked him.
Speaker 5: Said I thought you said it was going to take
Speaker 5: five years. The clerk said to him it should have,
Speaker 5: But ever since I met you, I can't get you
Speaker 5: off my mind. I wake up thinking about you, I
Speaker 5: eat dinner thinking about you. I go to bed thinking
Speaker 5: about you. I'm sick of thinking about you. Take the
Speaker 5: paperwork and leave. When God has ordained someone to help you,
Speaker 5: they don't have to like you. Quit being frustrated by
Speaker 5: who's not for you. If they're supposed to be for you,
Speaker 5: they'll be good to you, even though they don't like you.
Speaker 4: They can't help it. God controls the universe.
Speaker 5: If he needs them to play a part in what
Speaker 5: he's already set up for you, they.
Speaker 4: Won't have a choice. The scripture says God has purposed it.
Speaker 4: Who can annul it?
Speaker 5: This is saying what God has already set up, who
Speaker 5: can stop it? People can't stop it. Bad breaks can't
Speaker 5: stop it. Injustice can't stop it. It's already set up.
Speaker 5: You are right on schedule. You keep honoring God, and
Speaker 5: what he's already set up.
Speaker 4: Is going to find you. You're not going to have
Speaker 4: to go after. It is going to come to you.
Speaker 5: When we needed land to build a new sanctuary twice,
Speaker 5: the property that we really wanted was sold out from
Speaker 5: under us.
Speaker 4: I was disappointed. I thought, God, where are you?
Speaker 5: I didn't realize the compact center was already set up.
Speaker 5: When it doesn't work out your way, it's.
Speaker 4: Because God has something better.
Speaker 5: Don't live frustrated the closed doors are God.
Speaker 4: Doing us a favor. Six months later, a friend of
Speaker 4: mine called out of the blue, said, Joe, let's go
Speaker 4: to lunch. I have an idea.
Speaker 5: He told me how the rockets were moving out of
Speaker 5: the Compact Center and how this would be a great
Speaker 5: home for Lakewood. In one sense, I didn't go after
Speaker 5: the Compact Center. The Compact Center came after me. God
Speaker 5: used that man to lead.
Speaker 4: Me to what he ought already had prepared.
Speaker 5: He was a divine connection, part of the plan that
Speaker 5: God had already set up. That's why you don't have
Speaker 5: to live worried how are you going to accomplish the dream,
Speaker 5: worried about how you're going to get the breaks you need.
Speaker 4: God has it all figured out.
Speaker 5: He's already lined up the right people to come across
Speaker 5: your path. And what God has in store is bigger
Speaker 5: than you can imagine.
Speaker 4: It's more rewarding, more fulfilling.
Speaker 5: Instead of going around discouraged because with what didn't work out,
Speaker 5: turn it around.
Speaker 4: Father, thank you for the blessings that you've already said up.
Speaker 5: Thank you for the good breaks, the healing, the promotion,
Speaker 5: the right people that you've already ordained to come across
Speaker 5: my path. When you live in faith, expecting God's goodness,
Speaker 5: there will be moments of favor that you come into.
Speaker 5: Suddenly you didn't see it coming, there was no sign
Speaker 5: of it. But suddenly the paperwork goes through, Suddenly the
Speaker 5: compact center shows up. Suddenly you meet the right person.
Speaker 5: That was one of those blessings that God had already
Speaker 5: said up In March chapter eleven, Jesus was on the
Speaker 5: Mount of Olives. He told his disciples to go into
Speaker 5: the nearby village. They would find a colt tied up
Speaker 5: that had never been ridden.
Speaker 4: He said, untie it and bring it to me.
Speaker 5: If anyone asked what you're doing, tell him the Lord
Speaker 5: needs it and we'll return it soon. They went in
Speaker 5: the village and just like he said, they found the colt.
Speaker 5: It started to untie it. Somebody stopped them, what are
Speaker 5: you doing, that's not your animal. They said, the Lord
Speaker 5: needs it. They gave them permission.
Speaker 4: To take it.
Speaker 5: Jesus got on the colt and rode it into Jerusalem.
Speaker 5: When people saw him coming, they put palm branches down
Speaker 5: on the ground and laid out their coats as he
Speaker 5: passed by, they shouted, Hosanna, blessed is he who comes
Speaker 5: in the name of the World Lord. This was all
Speaker 5: prophesied many years earlier by Isaiah that Jerusalem would receive
Speaker 5: their king coming on a cult that had never been ridden.
Speaker 5: But when the Disciples went to get the cult that day,
Speaker 5: they didn't realize the significance of what they were doing.
Speaker 4: They thought they.
Speaker 5: Were just running an errand Jesus needs a ride, No
Speaker 5: big deal. They didn't know the cult they were untying
Speaker 5: was fulfilling prophecy. It seemed routine to them, but there
Speaker 5: was nothing ordinary about that moment. They couldn't see it,
Speaker 5: but it was a part of the plan that the
Speaker 5: creator of the universe had already set up. Like them,
Speaker 5: there are times we're going through the day doing our
Speaker 5: normal routine, going to lunch with an old friend that
Speaker 5: called no big deal. We can't see it, but those
Speaker 5: are destiny moments. God is orchestrated what he ordained for
Speaker 5: your life to come together. Like Isaiah prophesied that Jesus
Speaker 5: would come writing on a cult, your life has been prophesied.
Speaker 4: God has written every day of your life in his book.
Speaker 4: You are not at the mercy of people.
Speaker 5: Luck.
Speaker 4: I hope I get some breaks.
Speaker 5: Before you were formed in your mother's womb, God.
Speaker 4: Knew you and planned out all of your days.
Speaker 5: He has these destiny moments where he'll make things happen
Speaker 5: that you couldn't make happen. He's already set up the cult.
Speaker 5: He's already set up the table. He's already set up
Speaker 5: the right people, the breaks you need. Not only are
Speaker 5: your steps being divinely orchestrated, He's orchestrating the steps of
Speaker 5: people and circumstances around you.
Speaker 4: If he knew where that cult was.
Speaker 5: If that animal was put there by the Creator, how
Speaker 5: much more does God know where you are?
Speaker 4: How much more is he lining up what you need?
Speaker 5: This cult had never been ridden. It was to fulfill
Speaker 5: Isaiah's prophecy. I can imagine when the owner tried to
Speaker 5: write him like he did his other animals.
Speaker 4: He got halfway on, that cult bucked him off.
Speaker 5: He thought, I'll show you had four or five strong
Speaker 5: men hold the colt. But when he tried to get on,
Speaker 5: it was like the cult had supernatural strength, bucked him
Speaker 5: off again. He finally thought, I'm leaving that colt alone.
Speaker 5: Something's wrong with him there wasn't anything wrong.
Speaker 4: That Colt had been marked by Destiny.
Speaker 5: One thing this shows us is what God has ordained
Speaker 5: for you.
Speaker 4: Will not go to anyone else.
Speaker 5: Don't worry about somebody getting your promotion, your contract, your blessing.
Speaker 4: If it's yours, that cult will buck them off.
Speaker 5: What God has prophesied for your life cannot be taken
Speaker 5: by other people. Now, quit being frustrated because somebody got
Speaker 5: what you wanted. If it was supposed to be yours,
Speaker 5: it wouldn't have happened. Be happy for them, knowing that
Speaker 5: God has something better for you. When we tried to
Speaker 5: buy that property that Colt bucked us off twice, I
Speaker 5: did my best to make it happen.
Speaker 4: But you can't override what God has ordained.
Speaker 5: Just as God opens doors that no person can shut,
Speaker 5: God closes doors that no person can open.
Speaker 4: If something bucked you.
Speaker 5: Off, be smart enough to realize God didn't want you
Speaker 5: to have it. If it's supposed to be yours, you
Speaker 5: can rest assured nobody else will get it. When the
Speaker 5: prophet Samuel went to Jesse's house to anoint one of
Speaker 5: his sons as the next king of Israel, seven of
Speaker 5: the sons were in the house. David was still out
Speaker 5: in the shepherd's fields. Jesse didn't bother bringing his youngest son,
Speaker 5: David in. He thought he's not king material. He's too young,
Speaker 5: too small, doesn't have the talent, the experience. People would
Speaker 5: judge you by the outside. They'll try to write you off,
Speaker 5: but they don't know what God.
Speaker 4: Put in you.
Speaker 5: They can't see your seeds of greatness. They didn't prophesy
Speaker 5: your life. They didn't choose you before you were formed
Speaker 5: in your mother's wound. They don't know what God has
Speaker 5: already set up for you. God loves to take people
Speaker 5: that others discount, others discredit, say it couldn't be them.
Speaker 5: They're not king material. They've made too many mistakes. They
Speaker 5: come from the wrong family. That's the kind of people
Speaker 5: God chooses to.
Speaker 4: Show out in their lives.
Speaker 5: Samuel caught each son forward one by one. He tried
Speaker 5: to pour the oil to anoint them. Turned the bottle
Speaker 5: upside down, but the oil wouldn't come out to the
Speaker 5: last son. I can see him hitting the bottom of
Speaker 5: the bottle, but the oil defied gravity because it was
Speaker 5: not ordained to go to those seven sons. The oil
Speaker 5: that belongs to you will not go to anyone else.
Speaker 5: Nobody got your promotion, nobody got your contract, your girlfriend
Speaker 5: at your house. The oil that's a good one, the
Speaker 5: oil that belongs to you, cannot go to other people.
Speaker 5: Jesse finally brought David in. The youngest son, Samuel went
Speaker 5: to annoint him, and the oil freely flowed. I could
Speaker 5: see his father, Jesse standing there with his eyes his
Speaker 5: mouth wide open, thinking, David.
Speaker 4: I never dreamed it would be him.
Speaker 5: What God has already set up for you is going
Speaker 5: to cause people to stand there like Jesse in total disbelief.
Speaker 4: They never dreamed you could be that blessed.
Speaker 5: That successful, that healthy, that free. They saw you with
Speaker 5: all your limitations, can't do what you don't have. They
Speaker 5: didn't realize God had already set up blessings that would
Speaker 5: catapult you to the next level. The scripture says, no
Speaker 5: person has seen, heard, or imagined what God has prepared
Speaker 5: for those that love him. God has some things prepared
Speaker 5: that are going to amaze you. Promotion that you didn't
Speaker 5: see coming, favor that you didn't deserve, increase that takes
Speaker 5: your family to a new level. If you've seen it,
Speaker 5: heard it, or imagined it, that's not what this is
Speaker 5: talking about. What God has prepared, what he's already said up.
Speaker 4: Is something that you've never seen.
Speaker 5: Two thousand and seven, we received a phone call from
Speaker 5: a young lady that worked for the New York Yankees.
Speaker 4: We never met her, but she likes our ministry.
Speaker 5: The Yankees were building a new baseball stadium. She wanted
Speaker 5: us to come and hold a Night of Hope for
Speaker 5: the first in the new baseball stadium. When the staff
Speaker 5: told me, I thought they were joking. You mean they
Speaker 5: want a minister from Texas to come. They could have
Speaker 5: had a big rock and roll band, a big production,
Speaker 5: but she wanted us. This young lady was in charge
Speaker 5: of special events. She could have liked us, but worked
Speaker 5: in accounting on the grounds crew. Nothing wrong with that,
Speaker 5: but she wouldn't have had the authority to invite us.
Speaker 5: Two thousand and nine, we went and held the first
Speaker 5: non baseball event in the new Yankee Stadium.
Speaker 4: What am I saying?
Speaker 5: God has the right people in the right positions for you.
Speaker 5: You don't have to have favor with everyone, just favor
Speaker 5: with the right one. A dozen people may not like you,
Speaker 5: but they can't stop you. God has already set up
Speaker 5: the right people that will open doors to promotion, to opportunity,
Speaker 5: to favor. You're going to say, like me, Wow, I
Speaker 5: didn't see that coming. I didn't have the connections, the talent,
Speaker 5: the experience. That's one of those prepared blessings that you
Speaker 5: have not seen, heard or imagined. But sometimes there's a
Speaker 5: blessing already set up.
Speaker 4: But people will try to talk you out of it.
Speaker 5: People will tell you all the reasons why it's not
Speaker 5: going to happen. The problem is God didn't put the
Speaker 5: dream in them.
Speaker 4: He put the dream in you.
Speaker 5: They can't see what you see, they can't feel what
Speaker 5: you feel.
Speaker 4: They're looking at it in the ordinary, the natural.
Speaker 5: But God puts things in your spirit that are bigger
Speaker 5: than you can accomplish on your own, and you may
Speaker 5: not see how it can happen. But God wouldn't have
Speaker 5: given you the dream, He wouldn't have put the promise
Speaker 5: in you if he had not already set up how to.
Speaker 4: Bring it to pass.
Speaker 5: He's a supernatural God. He knows how to bring it
Speaker 5: all together. He has the cults set up, he has
Speaker 5: the staff members in the right position that like you.
Speaker 4: He has the table already prepared.
Speaker 5: When I was growing up, my mother always wanted a
Speaker 5: swimming pool in our backyard. My father was very generous
Speaker 5: with my mother. He would give her anything except a
Speaker 5: swimming pool. He said, Dody, I don't want to pull
Speaker 5: it's too much money, too much maintenance. We have enough
Speaker 5: to take care of already. He gave her all these
Speaker 5: good reasons.
Speaker 4: My mother no more paid attention to that. She let
Speaker 4: that go in one.
Speaker 5: Ear and out the other. Every day she went around
Speaker 5: talking about it. I can't wait till we get our
Speaker 5: swimming pool.
Speaker 4: She got all of us five kids excited.
Speaker 5: We're getting a swimming pool. We even went out and
Speaker 5: bought my brother Paul some floaties. My father said, Dody,
Speaker 5: you are wasting your time. I've already made up my
Speaker 5: mind we are not getting a swimming pool. One day,
Speaker 5: my mom was in the backyard with a tape measure.
Speaker 5: My dad went out, Dody, what are you doing. She said,
Speaker 5: I'm measuring where we're going to put our swimming pool.
Speaker 4: She tried to wear him down. He wouldn't budge.
Speaker 5: About a year later, during our Thanksgiving conference at the church,
Speaker 5: a couple asked to see my parents after the service.
Speaker 5: They introduced themselves. The men said, I built swimming pools
Speaker 5: for a living. My mother gave him a big hug.
Speaker 5: He said, I've been waiting for you. He went on
Speaker 5: to say I would like to build you a swimming pool.
Speaker 5: My father said, that's so nice. You're very kind, but
Speaker 5: we really can't afford it right now. He said, what
Speaker 5: do you mean. I don't want you to pay. I
Speaker 5: want to do it for free. Want you let me
Speaker 5: give you a swimming pool. My mother looked at my
Speaker 5: father like, if you say no.
Speaker 4: You're going to heaven today.
Speaker 5: That man built us a beautiful.
Speaker 4: Swimming pool in our backyard.
Speaker 5: That was one of those blessings God had already set up.
Speaker 5: My father couldn't see it, but God didn't put it
Speaker 5: in his heart. Don't let people talk you out of
Speaker 5: what God put in you.
Speaker 4: Just because they don't believe doesn't.
Speaker 5: Mean that it's not going to happen. God has lined
Speaker 5: up the right.
Speaker 4: People for you.
Speaker 5: You keep honoring Him being your best, and these blessings
Speaker 5: are going to find you.
Speaker 4: Don't seek the blessing, seek.
Speaker 5: God, keep him first place, and the blessing will seek you.
Speaker 5: Jesus said, seek first the kingdom, and.
Speaker 4: All these things will be added. Under you.
Speaker 5: These things are what God has already prepared. He wants
Speaker 5: to not only meet your needs, he wants to give
Speaker 5: you the desires of your heart. He wants you to
Speaker 5: enjoy life and be able to bless your family have
Speaker 5: fun together. Well, Joel, it's great your mom God a
Speaker 5: swimming pool, But I'm fighting cancer. I'm struggling with an addiction.
Speaker 5: I have a child that's off course. The same God
Speaker 5: that had a swimming pool already set up for my mother,
Speaker 5: the same God that had the compact center already set
Speaker 5: up for us, the same God that had a cult
Speaker 5: already set up to bring Jesus, that same God has
Speaker 5: the healing already set up for you.
Speaker 4: He has the vindication, the freedom, the breakthrough. It's already
Speaker 4: in your future.
Speaker 5: When Joseph's brothers were jealous of him, they threw him
Speaker 5: into the pit, and we're going to leave him there
Speaker 5: to die. But they looked up and saw a caravan
Speaker 5: of Ishmaelites come in their way. They changed their mind
Speaker 5: and sold Joseph as a slave. What's interesting is that
Speaker 5: caravan had been traveling for months to get to Egypt
Speaker 5: before Joseph was thrown into the pit. God had the
Speaker 5: answer already on the way. Before he had the problem,
Speaker 5: the solution was already in wrath. God said in Isaiah,
Speaker 5: before you call, will answer you. I saw a report
Speaker 5: on the news about this mother. She was in the
Speaker 5: car driving with her two small children over this very
Speaker 5: high bridge. An eighteen wheeler lost control of his truck
Speaker 5: and started a chain reaction, slamming into cars. This lady's
Speaker 5: car was not only crushed, but it was pushed through
Speaker 5: the guardrail halfway off the bridge. Now it was dangling,
Speaker 5: rocking back and forth. When the officers arrived, they didn't
Speaker 5: think anyone could have survived.
Speaker 4: The car was so mangled.
Speaker 5: They radioed that they had fatalities when they heard something
Speaker 5: coming from the car, a little bit of noise. Somehow
Speaker 5: the people were still alive. The problem was the.
Speaker 4: Car was so unstable.
Speaker 5: They tried for about ten minutes to cut through the
Speaker 5: metal to get them out, but they had to stop.
Speaker 4: It was too risky.
Speaker 5: Every time the wind blew it looked like the car
Speaker 5: was going to fall. The officers knew they didn't have
Speaker 5: long but didn't know what to do. About that time,
Speaker 5: a man came walking up in a navy uniform. He
Speaker 5: said I'm the head of the Navy engineering team. We
Speaker 5: have a one of a kind forklift that can extend out, tilt,
Speaker 5: rotate in any direction, and lift eleven thousand pounds. The
Speaker 5: officer said, how quickly could you get it here? While
Speaker 5: they were talking, it was pulling up. There were only
Speaker 5: three of these type forklifts in the world. They were
Speaker 5: able to reach out, pick up the car, save the
Speaker 5: three lines. After they rescued the people, the Navy engineer
Speaker 5: told the police officers how earlier that day they had
Speaker 5: been delayed for three hours. They were supposed to already
Speaker 5: be at their location, but something caused them to be
Speaker 5: laid and it just so happened they were coming by
Speaker 5: when all this was taking place. What are the chances
Speaker 5: of this one.
Speaker 4: Of a kind piece of equipment being at that place
Speaker 4: at the right time.
Speaker 5: That wasn't a lucky break, It wasn't a coincidence. It
Speaker 5: was one of those blessings that God had already set up.
Speaker 5: God knows what you need, when you need it, and
Speaker 5: how to get it to you. That problem you're concerned about,
Speaker 5: God has the answer already en route. Instead of worrying
Speaker 5: all through the day, Father, thank you that You've already
Speaker 5: set up the breakthrough, already set up the promotion. Everything
Speaker 5: you need to fulfill your destiny is already lined up.
Speaker 5: It may not have happened yet, but if you'll stay
Speaker 5: in faith, what God has ordained.
Speaker 4: Is on the way now.
Speaker 5: I believe and declare you're about to come in to
Speaker 5: some of these already set up blessings. You're not going
Speaker 5: to have to go after it.
Speaker 4: It's going to come.
Speaker 5: After you in Jesus' name, and if you receive it,
Speaker 5: can you say him in Today? I'd like to give
Speaker 5: you an opportunity to make Jesus the Lord of your life.
Speaker 4: Would you pray with me?
Speaker 5: Just say, Lord, Jesus, I'll repent of my sins, Come
Speaker 5: into my heart.
Speaker 4: I'll make you my lord, and saying.
Speaker 5: If you prayed that simple prayer, we believe you got
