1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:01,960
Speaker 1: Hi, this is Joel and Victoria.

2
00:00:02,240 --> 00:00:05,279
Speaker 2: Thanks for listening to our podcast and thanks for supporting

3
00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:08,200
Speaker 2: the ministry. If you enjoy today's message, why don't you

4
00:00:08,280 --> 00:00:11,040
Speaker 2: be a blessing and share it with a friend, reappreciate

5
00:00:11,119 --> 00:00:13,760
Speaker 2: you and pray for God's very best in your life.

6
00:00:13,960 --> 00:00:14,960
Speaker 1: Well, God bless you.

7
00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:17,440
Speaker 2: It's always a joy to come into your homes, and

8
00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:20,600
Speaker 2: if you're ever in our area, please stop by and

9
00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:22,360
Speaker 2: be a part of one of our services.

10
00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:24,800
Speaker 1: I promise you will make you feel right at home.

11
00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:27,200
Speaker 2: But thanks so much for tuning in, and thank you

12
00:00:27,240 --> 00:00:29,960
Speaker 2: again for coming out. I'd like to start with something

13
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:33,479
Speaker 2: funny and I heard about this teenager. He'd just gotten

14
00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:37,400
Speaker 2: his driver's license. He asked his father about borrowing the car.

15
00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:39,319
Speaker 2: His father said, son, I'll make a.

16
00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:39,800
Speaker 1: Deal with you.

17
00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:43,560
Speaker 2: If you'll bring your grades up, read your Bible every day,

18
00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:47,040
Speaker 2: and get your haircut, I'll let you borrow it. He

19
00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:49,400
Speaker 2: came back a month later and ask about it again.

20
00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:53,360
Speaker 2: Father said, well, son, you brought your grades up, you've

21
00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:56,120
Speaker 2: been reading your Bible every day, but you still haven't

22
00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:58,960
Speaker 2: got your haircut. He said, well, Dad, I've been thinking

23
00:00:58,960 --> 00:00:59,440
Speaker 2: about it.

24
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:01,160
Speaker 1: His headlong hair.

25
00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:05,520
Speaker 2: Samson had long hair even Jesus had long hair. His

26
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:08,440
Speaker 2: father said, yes, son, and they walked everywhere they went.

27
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:12,720
Speaker 2: Hold your bible up, say it like you mean it.

28
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:15,880
Speaker 2: This is my Bible. I am what it says I am.

29
00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:18,640
Speaker 2: I have what it says I have. I can do

30
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:21,399
Speaker 2: what it says I can do. Today I will be

31
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:25,160
Speaker 2: taught the word of God. I boldly confess. My mind

32
00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:28,319
Speaker 2: is alert, my heart is receptive. I will never be

33
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:33,000
Speaker 2: the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you. I want

34
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:37,240
Speaker 2: to talk to you today about heavy favor. There's something

35
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:40,280
Speaker 2: God has put on you that will help you accomplish

36
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:44,080
Speaker 2: what you couldn't accomplish on your own. It will cause

37
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:46,959
Speaker 2: you to stand out in the crowd, get breaks that

38
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:47,920
Speaker 2: you didn't deserve.

39
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:49,760
Speaker 1: It's called favor.

40
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:54,800
Speaker 2: The Psalmist said, God's favor surrounds us like a shield.

41
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:57,440
Speaker 1: That means everywhere you go.

42
00:01:57,480 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 2: You have an advantage, a divine empowerment, opening up the

43
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:06,680
Speaker 2: right doors, causing things to fall into place. But Isaiah

44
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:10,799
Speaker 2: took it a step further. He said, arise and shine,

45
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:14,920
Speaker 2: for the glory of the Lord is upon you. That

46
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:19,960
Speaker 2: word glory in the original language implies God's favor is

47
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:21,280
Speaker 2: heavy upon you.

48
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:23,600
Speaker 1: There's an emphasis on the weight.

49
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:28,240
Speaker 2: Isaiah was saying, you didn't just get a little favor

50
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:32,320
Speaker 2: enough to get by scrape through life. Now, when it

51
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:36,280
Speaker 2: comes to favor, you're not a lightweight. You are heavy

52
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:40,800
Speaker 2: with favor. You are weighted down with God's goodness. And

53
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:43,560
Speaker 2: it's one thing to know you have favor. That's important,

54
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:48,040
Speaker 2: But when you realize you are heavy with favor, it

55
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 2: takes on a whole new meaning. You won't go around

56
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:53,040
Speaker 2: intimidated insecure.

57
00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:56,560
Speaker 1: You'll put your shoulders back, hold your head up high.

58
00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:02,079
Speaker 2: When you know you have heavy favor, you'll pray bold prayers.

59
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 1: You'll believe for the extraordinary.

60
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:08,160
Speaker 2: You'll expect doors to open for you that may not

61
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:12,480
Speaker 2: open for somebody else. When you know you're heavy with favor,

62
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:16,800
Speaker 2: you'll rise. And that's when God will cause you to shine.

63
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 2: You'll step into a new level of your destiny. Now,

64
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:25,760
Speaker 2: maybe today you're heavy with worry, heavy with discouragement, weighted

65
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:30,239
Speaker 2: down with problems, disappointments, sickness, black or you need to

66
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 2: get ready.

67
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:32,240
Speaker 1: This is your due season.

68
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:35,920
Speaker 2: Instead of being heavy with burdens, you're going to be

69
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 2: heavy with good breaks, heavy with divine hell, heavy with opportunity,

70
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 2: heavy with joy, remember back in the sixties, when something

71
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:51,360
Speaker 2: good happened, hippies would say, heavy man, heavy, that's what

72
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:54,800
Speaker 2: you're going to be saying out of nowhere. A good break,

73
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:56,640
Speaker 2: heavy man heavy.

74
00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:58,040
Speaker 1: The medical report.

75
00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:00,800
Speaker 2: Didn't look good, but your health suddenly he turned around.

76
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:02,160
Speaker 1: Heavy man heavy.

77
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:07,480
Speaker 2: In your finances an explosive blessing, a raise and inheritance,

78
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:10,120
Speaker 2: and you pay your house off, you come out of

79
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 2: debt and to overflow.

80
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:15,880
Speaker 1: Heavy man heavy. Now, shake off the doubt, shake off

81
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:18,280
Speaker 1: the discouragement. Have a new perspective.

82
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:22,720
Speaker 2: You didn't get average favor, ordinary favor, just enough favor.

83
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:25,080
Speaker 1: You are heavy with favor.

84
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:29,320
Speaker 2: When you understand this, it'll change your outlook. You'll have

85
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:34,240
Speaker 2: a boldness, a confidence to ask big, to believe big,

86
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:38,640
Speaker 2: to expect God's favor in a new way. One time,

87
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:41,880
Speaker 2: Joshua and his men were out fighting a battle in

88
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:45,440
Speaker 2: the Scripture, and it was getting late in the day.

89
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:47,680
Speaker 2: He knew he wasn't going to be able to finish

90
00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:50,160
Speaker 2: the enemy off because he was running.

91
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:50,640
Speaker 1: Out of daylight.

92
00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 2: He could have thought, too bad for me, I've run

93
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:57,480
Speaker 2: out of time. Now Joshua understood this principle. He knew

94
00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:01,200
Speaker 2: he was heavy with favor. He looked up up and said, son,

95
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:06,680
Speaker 2: stand still. The scripture says the sun stopped didn't go

96
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:10,920
Speaker 2: down until he completed his task. When you know you're

97
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:14,279
Speaker 2: heavy with favor, instead of thinking, oh man, this problem's

98
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:18,359
Speaker 2: never going to resolve, no, you'll do like Joshua and say, God,

99
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:20,800
Speaker 2: I may not see away, but I know you have

100
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:24,679
Speaker 2: a way. The medical report doesn't look good, but God,

101
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:27,840
Speaker 2: I know you have the final say healing is coming

102
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:31,400
Speaker 2: my way. Or maybe I've had this addiction so long,

103
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:34,719
Speaker 2: but I know this is my due season year, freedom

104
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:36,440
Speaker 2: is coming my way.

105
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 1: I wonder how.

106
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 2: Much further we would go, how many dreams we see

107
00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:45,320
Speaker 2: come to pass, if we really believed we are heavy

108
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:50,479
Speaker 2: with favor? Are you praying these bold prayers expecting God

109
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:52,440
Speaker 2: to show out in your life?

110
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:56,000
Speaker 1: Would you dare do like Joshua and ask God.

111
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:58,920
Speaker 2: To do something out of the ordinary to bring your

112
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:02,800
Speaker 2: dreams to pass that looked so far out like it's

113
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:03,640
Speaker 2: not practical.

114
00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:05,960
Speaker 1: It may not be for an.

115
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:09,640
Speaker 2: Average person, but the good news is you're not average.

116
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:11,640
Speaker 1: You have heavy favor.

117
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:16,279
Speaker 2: This is your time to arise and shine. God is

118
00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:19,400
Speaker 2: about to make you stand out. He's about to take

119
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:22,680
Speaker 2: you somewhere that you've never been. Now all through the day,

120
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:24,280
Speaker 2: let's get in agreement with God.

121
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:24,760
Speaker 1: Lord.

122
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:28,040
Speaker 2: I thank you that I'm heavy with favor. You're shining

123
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:31,080
Speaker 2: down on me, showing me something that I've never seen.

124
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:34,479
Speaker 2: A few years ago, a friend of mine sold his

125
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:38,440
Speaker 2: house and he and his family needed another place to live,

126
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:41,320
Speaker 2: and they had looked at different houses again and again

127
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:45,480
Speaker 2: and couldn't find anything. One evening, they were out walking

128
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:48,599
Speaker 2: through their neighborhood and he saw this certain house that

129
00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:51,640
Speaker 2: he'd always liked. The people had lived there for over

130
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:56,320
Speaker 2: thirty years. But something said on the inside, go ask

131
00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:59,080
Speaker 2: them if they want to sell it. He thought, I

132
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:02,279
Speaker 2: can't do that. That would be odd a stranger knocking

133
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:06,080
Speaker 2: on their door. He's a very quiet, conservative man. But

134
00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:08,839
Speaker 2: he couldn't get away from that feeling, and he finally

135
00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:11,280
Speaker 2: got his nerve up, went up and knocked on the

136
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:13,720
Speaker 2: door and asked the man if he was interested in

137
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:16,880
Speaker 2: selling the house. The man said, no, we're planning on

138
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:20,120
Speaker 2: living here for many more years. My friend handed him

139
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:22,280
Speaker 2: his business card and said, well, if you ever change

140
00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:26,160
Speaker 2: your mind, please let me know. Five days later, the

141
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:28,840
Speaker 2: man called back and said, we've had a change of heart.

142
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:31,600
Speaker 1: We'd like to sell you the house. What is that

143
00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:33,720
Speaker 1: heavy favor to.

144
00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:36,360
Speaker 2: Knock on somebody's door and have them move out of

145
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:36,880
Speaker 2: their house.

146
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:38,840
Speaker 1: Only God can make that happen.

147
00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:44,240
Speaker 2: Don't come knocking on my door now. But when you

148
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:48,680
Speaker 2: know that you have heavy favor, you'll have this boldness,

149
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:52,080
Speaker 2: this confidence to ask big, to believe big. That's when

150
00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:55,560
Speaker 2: God will show out in your life. But too often

151
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:57,640
Speaker 2: we think, oh, Joel, this isn't gonna happen for me.

152
00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:00,720
Speaker 2: I never get any good breaks, I'll never live in

153
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:04,400
Speaker 2: a nice place. I'll never break this addiction, never get

154
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:08,600
Speaker 2: healthy again, No get rid of that defeated mentality. Have

155
00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:13,000
Speaker 2: this new perspective. You are heavy with favor. This is

156
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:16,440
Speaker 2: your year to rise higher, to come in to overflow,

157
00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:18,280
Speaker 2: to see those dreams.

158
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:18,720
Speaker 1: Come to pass.

159
00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:22,600
Speaker 2: Now, be bold, dare to take some steps of faith.

160
00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:27,280
Speaker 2: Dare to believe God has already given you everything that

161
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:30,160
Speaker 2: you need. Thoughts will try to talk you out of it,

162
00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:32,040
Speaker 2: tell you why it's not going to happen.

163
00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:36,000
Speaker 1: You have to talk back to yourself the right way. Lord.

164
00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:38,520
Speaker 2: I want to thank you that you're shining down on me.

165
00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:42,160
Speaker 2: This is my due season year. Dreams are coming to pass.

166
00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:45,439
Speaker 2: These problems are turning around, Lord, I believe I'm.

167
00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:47,719
Speaker 1: Heavy with favor. When you live with.

168
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:51,880
Speaker 2: This expectancy, you'll see God do things out of the ordinary.

169
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:56,600
Speaker 2: In two thousand and three, we had our groundbreaking services

170
00:08:56,679 --> 00:08:59,400
Speaker 2: planned for this building. We were going to have one

171
00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:02,760
Speaker 2: weekend here so everyone could see it. Then it was

172
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:04,680
Speaker 2: going to take a year and a half to finish

173
00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:08,440
Speaker 2: the construction. We had this big weekend all lined up.

174
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:12,200
Speaker 2: When we got word that the Highway Department was going

175
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:15,920
Speaker 2: to close the freeway a few hours before our services,

176
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:17,800
Speaker 2: nobody would have been able to come.

177
00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:20,200
Speaker 1: We couldn't change our plans.

178
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:23,360
Speaker 2: We had already advertised, already rented all of the equipment.

179
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:25,800
Speaker 1: We could have thought, boy, we sure chose the.

180
00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:29,800
Speaker 2: Wrong weekend for the groundbreaking. But the scripture says you

181
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:34,880
Speaker 2: have not because you ask not. How many things are

182
00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:38,800
Speaker 2: we not seeing God do? Not because he wouldn't do it,

183
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:43,559
Speaker 2: but because we're not asking. We called the Highway Department

184
00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:47,120
Speaker 2: and asked if they would change their plans for our services.

185
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:49,679
Speaker 2: They kind of laughed and said, I'm sorry, we don't

186
00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:53,720
Speaker 2: do that. This construction has been planned for years. But

187
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:57,200
Speaker 2: when you know you're heavy with favor, you don't give

188
00:09:57,280 --> 00:10:00,040
Speaker 2: up because you got told no one time, you go

189
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:01,040
Speaker 2: go back and ask again.

190
00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:05,000
Speaker 1: We got in touch with the main person there.

191
00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:07,920
Speaker 2: He got back with us a few days later and said,

192
00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:11,600
Speaker 2: we've never done this before, but we're going to make

193
00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:15,280
Speaker 2: an exception for you and close the freeway after your

194
00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:19,360
Speaker 2: services are over. If you're going to see the fullness

195
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:22,280
Speaker 2: of your destiny, you've got to have this boldness to

196
00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:27,800
Speaker 2: ask big, to believe big, to expect things to happen

197
00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:32,599
Speaker 2: for you that may not happen for somebody else. Not arrogantly,

198
00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:37,480
Speaker 2: but in humility, dare to believe there's something on you

199
00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:40,000
Speaker 2: that causes people to want to be good to you,

200
00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:43,720
Speaker 2: something that causes you to get breaks that you didn't deserve,

201
00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:48,800
Speaker 2: something that causes problems that looked permanent to suddenly turn around.

202
00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:52,840
Speaker 1: What is it? It's heavy favor. I know this couple.

203
00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:56,080
Speaker 2: They have a daughter, and when she was three years old,

204
00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:59,440
Speaker 2: something fell on these two fingers and it cut the

205
00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:00,760
Speaker 2: very tip of them off.

206
00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:03,280
Speaker 1: They rushed her to the emergency room.

207
00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:07,760
Speaker 2: The surgeon eventually told the father, I'm sorry, but there's

208
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:10,439
Speaker 2: nothing I'm going to be able to do to restore

209
00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:13,679
Speaker 2: your daughter's two fingers. She will never have a fingernail

210
00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:17,280
Speaker 2: on those fingers, plus they will always be a little

211
00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:17,880
Speaker 2: bit shorter.

212
00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:19,680
Speaker 1: The bone is missing.

213
00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:23,640
Speaker 2: Well, this father, he was respectful, but he knew he

214
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:28,200
Speaker 2: had heavy favor. He said, doctor, I believe God can

215
00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:32,360
Speaker 2: restore my little girl's fingers and make them normal once again.

216
00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:37,320
Speaker 2: This doctor was from another country and he didn't understand

217
00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:39,360
Speaker 2: too much about faith, and he looked at the man

218
00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:42,360
Speaker 2: and said, well, that's fine, sir, you can believe whatever

219
00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:42,880
Speaker 2: you want to.

220
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:46,600
Speaker 1: I'm just telling you the bone is missing. They will

221
00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:47,800
Speaker 1: never be the right link.

222
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:51,920
Speaker 2: When the man's wife came in, the doctor got her

223
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:55,200
Speaker 2: over to the side and said, your husband is in shock.

224
00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:58,599
Speaker 2: He won't accept the fact that your daughter's fingers have

225
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:01,760
Speaker 2: been cut off. She had the skin graft, and six

226
00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:05,040
Speaker 2: weeks later they brought the little girl back for her checkup.

227
00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:09,359
Speaker 2: When the doctor removed the bandages, his first words were.

228
00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:13,280
Speaker 1: Oh my god. This father was alarmed. He said, what's wrong.

229
00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:17,280
Speaker 2: The doctor said, look, the fingernails have grown back, and

230
00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:20,280
Speaker 2: it looks like the two fingers, or the exact right

231
00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:25,280
Speaker 2: link that was years ago. Those two fingers are still

232
00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:29,720
Speaker 2: perfectly normal. When you believe you are heavy with favor,

233
00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:34,000
Speaker 2: you will see things happen that look impossible. You may

234
00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:37,199
Speaker 2: be in a situation right now where all the odds

235
00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:40,720
Speaker 2: are against you. The experts say it's not going to happen.

236
00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:44,320
Speaker 2: You won't get well, won't qualify for the house, won't

237
00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:47,000
Speaker 2: see the dream come to pass. But what they are

238
00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:49,560
Speaker 2: not taken into account is the.

239
00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:51,400
Speaker 1: Favor on your life.

240
00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:54,520
Speaker 2: If it was average favor, you may be stuck. It

241
00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:57,760
Speaker 2: may not happen. But the difference is you don't have

242
00:12:57,800 --> 00:12:58,920
Speaker 2: average favor, you.

243
00:12:58,960 --> 00:12:59,960
Speaker 1: Have a heavy fail.

244
00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:04,000
Speaker 2: God is about to show out in your life. He's

245
00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:07,360
Speaker 2: about to turn some things around. You're going to look

246
00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:10,199
Speaker 2: up and say, like this couple, that was heavy favor,

247
00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:12,040
Speaker 2: that was the goodness of God.

248
00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:16,200
Speaker 1: Friends, dare to believe big, dare to pray big.

249
00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:20,240
Speaker 2: God wants to do something that you've never seen, something

250
00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:23,640
Speaker 2: out of the ordinary. Doctor Todd Price is a friend

251
00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:27,760
Speaker 2: of mine. He has a successful infectious disease practice here

252
00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:28,600
Speaker 2: in town.

253
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:31,440
Speaker 1: He does medical missions work all over the world.

254
00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:35,080
Speaker 2: A few years back, when he was first getting started

255
00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:39,000
Speaker 2: with his medical outreaches, he had a dream to take

256
00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:43,720
Speaker 2: shoes to needy children in Africa. He told how because

257
00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:47,319
Speaker 2: they didn't wear shoes, eighty percent of them have parasites

258
00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:50,720
Speaker 2: and it's ruining their health. Here, Doctor Price is just

259
00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:53,040
Speaker 2: one person, a busy practice.

260
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:54,760
Speaker 1: How could he make much of a difference.

261
00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:59,360
Speaker 2: But he understands that he has heavy favor. He has

262
00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:04,200
Speaker 2: this bold to ask these big medical companies and suppliers

263
00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:08,360
Speaker 2: to help him out. His goal was to take shoes

264
00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:11,600
Speaker 2: to all the children in this particular village that he

265
00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:15,560
Speaker 2: was working in at that time, three thousand kids. A

266
00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:18,400
Speaker 2: shoe company here in the States heard what he was doing,

267
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:20,960
Speaker 2: called and asked, how many pairs.

268
00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:21,680
Speaker 1: Of shoes do you need?

269
00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:24,920
Speaker 2: He said, three thousand pair. They said, we have a

270
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:27,840
Speaker 2: few more than three thousand. How about we give you

271
00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:35,000
Speaker 2: a million pair of children's shoes. That's heavy favor. That's

272
00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:39,200
Speaker 2: the way God is. When you dream big, believe big,

273
00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:44,000
Speaker 2: expect big, God will supersize what you're dreaming about. And

274
00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:46,800
Speaker 2: some of you, what you're praying for is way too small.

275
00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:51,480
Speaker 2: What you're hoping you can accomplish is not near what

276
00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:52,600
Speaker 2: God has in mind.

277
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:55,920
Speaker 1: You need to get ready. God is about to supersize it.

278
00:14:56,280 --> 00:14:58,440
Speaker 1: You're going to see this heavy favor.

279
00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:03,480
Speaker 2: The scripture says, you haven't seen, heard, or imagined the

280
00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:06,680
Speaker 2: amazing things God has in store that loved the Lord.

281
00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:07,800
Speaker 1: That's each one of you.

282
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:11,960
Speaker 2: I've seen this happen in my own life again and again.

283
00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:14,960
Speaker 2: What I thought would be so great, what I was

284
00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:18,920
Speaker 2: hoping to accomplish, was nothing compared to what God had

285
00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:22,320
Speaker 2: in mind in my early twenties. When I walked into

286
00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:25,720
Speaker 2: that jewelry store and met Victoria for the first time,

287
00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:29,520
Speaker 2: she was one of those things I had not seen, heard,

288
00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:33,120
Speaker 2: or imagined. God supersized what I was dreaming about.

289
00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:37,360
Speaker 1: It took heavy favor to get her. Let me tell you,

290
00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:39,240
Speaker 1: it takes heavy favor to keep her.

291
00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:44,560
Speaker 2: When I wrote my first book ten years ago, Your

292
00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:47,680
Speaker 2: Best Life Now, I thought, wouldn't that be amazing If

293
00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:50,880
Speaker 2: it made the New York Times Bestsellers List. I would

294
00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:52,720
Speaker 2: have been thrilled If it had made it just for

295
00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:55,760
Speaker 2: one week. That book was on the list for over

296
00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:57,320
Speaker 2: one hundred weeks in a row.

297
00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:00,360
Speaker 1: God supersized what I was dreaming about.

298
00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:04,760
Speaker 2: When we moved into this building, we had signed a

299
00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:05,640
Speaker 2: sixty year.

300
00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:07,080
Speaker 1: Lease with the City of Houston.

301
00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:10,120
Speaker 2: We always knew we wanted to purchase it, but the

302
00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:13,400
Speaker 2: lease was the best option at the time. This facility

303
00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:17,720
Speaker 2: is worth several hundred million dollars in twenty ten, the

304
00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:21,040
Speaker 2: city contacted us and asked if we were interested in

305
00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:24,160
Speaker 2: purchasing it. We told them we were, but of course

306
00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:27,680
Speaker 2: it all depended on the price. They did all their studies,

307
00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:31,840
Speaker 2: after their evaluations, they called us back and said, we'll

308
00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:35,000
Speaker 2: sell it to you. Not for one hundred million, not

309
00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:37,080
Speaker 2: fifty million, not twenty five million.

310
00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:39,240
Speaker 1: We'll sell it to you for seven.

311
00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:43,120
Speaker 2: And a half million dollars. That's heavy favor. That's more

312
00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:47,520
Speaker 2: than we could ask or think. Paul said, in the

313
00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:52,160
Speaker 2: ages to come, we would see the surpassing greatness of

314
00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:55,800
Speaker 2: God's favor. Friends, we are living in the day Paul

315
00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:58,040
Speaker 2: talked about where we will see.

316
00:16:57,800 --> 00:16:59,560
Speaker 1: Far and beyond favor.

317
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:03,920
Speaker 2: If you'll get your hopes of start expecting it, praying

318
00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:08,480
Speaker 2: bold prayers, believing for the ordinary extraordinary. When you arise,

319
00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:12,199
Speaker 2: God will cause you to shine. He'll show up and

320
00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:16,920
Speaker 2: supersize what you're dreaming about. There's a couple that attends here.

321
00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:20,240
Speaker 2: They have a daughter that had a heart defect. She

322
00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:24,280
Speaker 2: had to have several very extensive surgeries. Today, the young

323
00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:28,159
Speaker 2: lady is perfectly healthy. But those surgeries were not fully

324
00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:31,920
Speaker 2: covered by their insurance. Their part of the hospital bill

325
00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:35,600
Speaker 2: was over four hundred thousand dollars. The mother is a

326
00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:39,600
Speaker 2: school teacher, the father a police officer. In the natural,

327
00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:41,800
Speaker 2: it looked like they would be paying on that debt

328
00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:45,280
Speaker 2: for a long long time. They didn't get discouraged, they

329
00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:46,440
Speaker 2: didn't start complaining.

330
00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:50,440
Speaker 1: They knew they had heavy favor. They dared to pray

331
00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:51,879
Speaker 1: these bold prayers.

332
00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:54,520
Speaker 2: They said, God, we don't see how we could get

333
00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:57,240
Speaker 2: out of debt, but we know you own it all.

334
00:17:57,640 --> 00:18:00,000
Speaker 1: One touch of your favor can turn it around.

335
00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:05,440
Speaker 2: One day, out of the blue, the hospital called and said,

336
00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:08,919
Speaker 2: we've never done this before, but we've decided to not

337
00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:12,239
Speaker 2: only forgive your debt, but we're going to pay you

338
00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:16,080
Speaker 2: back for the two years of payments that you've already made.

339
00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:19,320
Speaker 1: They were just hoping to be debt free. But God

340
00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:23,320
Speaker 1: supersized what they were dreaming about. He'll do it for you.

341
00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:26,000
Speaker 1: One Kings, Chapter six.

342
00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:30,879
Speaker 2: This enemy army was trying to overtake the Israelites, but

343
00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:34,800
Speaker 2: every time they made a move, the Israelites already knew

344
00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:39,080
Speaker 2: where they were going. This enemy king was so frustrated

345
00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:41,760
Speaker 2: he thought one of his men was a spy. He

346
00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:45,439
Speaker 2: called them together and said, who's the trader who's leaking

347
00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:49,520
Speaker 2: this inside information? A captain spoke up and said, King,

348
00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:54,520
Speaker 2: it's none of us. There's a prophet in Israel named Elisha.

349
00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:59,719
Speaker 2: What you whisper to us in secret, he announces publicly

350
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:01,160
Speaker 2: to the Israelites.

351
00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:04,080
Speaker 1: This king was furious. He said, we're going to go

352
00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:05,200
Speaker 1: get Elisha.

353
00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:09,840
Speaker 2: Verse fourteen says one night he sent a great army

354
00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:16,240
Speaker 2: with many horses and chariots to surround Elisha's house. Notice

355
00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:18,520
Speaker 2: what happens when you're heavy with favor.

356
00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:21,480
Speaker 1: This king was trying to capture one man.

357
00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:24,520
Speaker 2: You would think he would maybe send a dozen people

358
00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:29,359
Speaker 2: to get him, but he sent thousands of troops, horses, chariots,

359
00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:32,879
Speaker 2: all to capture one man that was heavy with favor.

360
00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:36,879
Speaker 2: Elisia's assistant got up early in the morning and saw

361
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:39,359
Speaker 2: all the enemy forces surrounding the house.

362
00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:40,640
Speaker 1: He told Elisha.

363
00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:44,840
Speaker 2: Elisha said, don't worry. We may be outnumbered, but I

364
00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:48,679
Speaker 2: know a secret. I'm heavy with favor. They may have

365
00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:52,479
Speaker 2: more weapons, more equipment, more talent, but I have something

366
00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:54,040
Speaker 2: more powerful than all of.

367
00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:55,679
Speaker 1: That, the fevor of God.

368
00:19:56,840 --> 00:20:00,239
Speaker 2: Elisha knew how to pray these bold prayers. He had

369
00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:02,320
Speaker 2: seen God open blind eyes.

370
00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:04,840
Speaker 1: He prayed for just the opposite.

371
00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:08,560
Speaker 2: He said, God, let them become blind so they don't

372
00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:12,160
Speaker 2: recognize me. They came knocked on the door, said we're

373
00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:16,600
Speaker 2: looking for Elisha. He said, Elisha, you're in the wrong city.

374
00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:20,000
Speaker 2: You need to go to Samaria. They said, thank you,

375
00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:22,359
Speaker 2: sir for your help. He said, let me help you

376
00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:22,800
Speaker 2: some more.

377
00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:24,000
Speaker 1: I'll lead you there.

378
00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:29,199
Speaker 2: Elisha ended up leading this enemy army right into the

379
00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:33,400
Speaker 2: hands of the Israelites. Once they were surrounded and captured,

380
00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:37,639
Speaker 2: their eyes were opened. They realized it was Elisha the

381
00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:42,160
Speaker 2: whole time. When you know you're heavy with fevor, you'll

382
00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:44,040
Speaker 2: see God do amazing things.

383
00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:48,280
Speaker 1: He'll protect you from your enemies. He'll guide you. He'll

384
00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:52,280
Speaker 1: even make you invisible to your enemies. Now, don't you

385
00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:52,880
Speaker 1: dare go.

386
00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:58,560
Speaker 2: Around week afraid intimidated. You are so powerful, you are

387
00:20:58,640 --> 00:20:59,879
Speaker 2: full of the anointing.

388
00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:01,720
Speaker 1: You are heavy with favor.

389
00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:05,359
Speaker 2: When the enemy looks at you, just like with Elisha,

390
00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:08,600
Speaker 2: he thinks I have to send an whole army to

391
00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:11,639
Speaker 2: try to stop. Then he may do his best, but

392
00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:15,120
Speaker 2: his best will never be enough. When you're heavy with favor,

393
00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:18,880
Speaker 2: you cannot be defeated. When my father was a young

394
00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:22,440
Speaker 2: minister back in the nineteen fifties, he would travel from

395
00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:26,919
Speaker 2: town to town, speaking at small churches and conventions. He

396
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:29,679
Speaker 2: carried his sound equipment in the trunk of his car.

397
00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:33,240
Speaker 2: One evening, he arrived at this auditorium a couple of

398
00:21:33,280 --> 00:21:37,080
Speaker 2: hours early to get everything set up. Several hundred people

399
00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:39,639
Speaker 2: were expected that night. It was a big deal for

400
00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:42,800
Speaker 2: my father. He wanted it to all go perfect. But

401
00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:46,239
Speaker 2: in the midst of the excitement, he accidentally locked his

402
00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:47,800
Speaker 2: keys in the trunk of his car.

403
00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:49,800
Speaker 1: Couldn't get the sound equipment out.

404
00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:52,840
Speaker 2: He and some other people started working on the trunk

405
00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:56,399
Speaker 2: and shaking it, jiggling it. Used a coat hanger to

406
00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:57,280
Speaker 2: try to get it open.

407
00:21:57,440 --> 00:22:02,840
Speaker 1: No success. It looked like big evening was ruined. Just

408
00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:03,480
Speaker 1: when he was.

409
00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:08,040
Speaker 2: About to give up, he realized he hadn't prayed. One

410
00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:11,560
Speaker 2: thing I can tell you about my father is he

411
00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:15,440
Speaker 2: knew how to pray these bold prayers. He wasn't ashamed

412
00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:19,080
Speaker 2: to pray about anything. Growing up. He would pray over

413
00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:23,680
Speaker 2: the lawnmower, over the dishwasher, over anything that wouldn't.

414
00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:25,359
Speaker 1: Work, mostly my brother Paul.

415
00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:31,399
Speaker 2: My father told all the people standing there that he

416
00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:34,280
Speaker 2: was going to pray and ask God to help him

417
00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:35,080
Speaker 2: open the trunk.

418
00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:39,240
Speaker 1: They looked at him so strange, that seemed so far out.

419
00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:39,840
Speaker 1: They were things.

420
00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:42,960
Speaker 2: You can't pray for a trunk to be open, but

421
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:45,919
Speaker 2: my father did. He said, God, I know there's nothing

422
00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:49,280
Speaker 2: too hard for you. Lord, I need this sound equipment

423
00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:52,560
Speaker 2: from my meeting tonight. I'm asking you to somehow, some

424
00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:55,800
Speaker 2: way help me to get it open. While he was praying,

425
00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:59,560
Speaker 2: the other people were laughing, mocking, kind of making fun

426
00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:02,600
Speaker 2: under their breath. When he finished praying, he went over

427
00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:04,919
Speaker 2: to the trunk and he shook it and jiggled it

428
00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:08,080
Speaker 2: even harder than ever, but still wouldn't open. He turned

429
00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:11,040
Speaker 2: and walked away, and when he got about ten feet

430
00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:13,679
Speaker 2: from the car, they all heard this click.

431
00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:16,280
Speaker 1: They look back, and all.

432
00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:18,639
Speaker 2: On its own, just like it was in slow motion,

433
00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:23,159
Speaker 2: that trunk began to slowly open up, just like it

434
00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:31,480
Speaker 2: was saying Haylujah. Those other people nearly passed out. Now,

435
00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:34,240
Speaker 2: you may not need a trunk to open, but the

436
00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:37,440
Speaker 2: doctors have told you that it doesn't look good. Why

437
00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:40,960
Speaker 2: don't you arise and say, God, I believe I'm heavy

438
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:44,119
Speaker 2: with favor, that you can do what medicine cannot do,

439
00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:48,119
Speaker 2: or a child is off course, you're struggling in your finances,

440
00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:51,639
Speaker 2: your dream looks impossible. Have you ever asked God to

441
00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:54,360
Speaker 2: turn it around? Have you ever said God, I know

442
00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:57,719
Speaker 2: nothing is too hard for you. You have the final

443
00:23:57,840 --> 00:24:00,000
Speaker 2: say you can get me to where I'm supposed to be.

444
00:24:00,920 --> 00:24:03,400
Speaker 1: When you have this heavy favor, you'll have.

445
00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:07,480
Speaker 2: A boldness to believe for the fullness of your destiny.

446
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:08,200
Speaker 1: Luke.

447
00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:12,000
Speaker 2: Chapter one talks about a young lady named Mary. Mary

448
00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:15,680
Speaker 2: was an ordinary teenage girl. She didn't come from an

449
00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:20,640
Speaker 2: influential family. Her parents weren't wealthy, didn't have notoriety, they

450
00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:24,440
Speaker 2: were poor. In the natural, there was nothing special about Mary,

451
00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:27,840
Speaker 2: nothing that made her stand out. But one day an

452
00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:32,520
Speaker 2: angel appeared unto her and said, hello, Mary, you highly

453
00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:36,840
Speaker 2: favored woman. I'm sure at first she looked around and

454
00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:38,280
Speaker 2: thought you got the wrong girl.

455
00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:40,840
Speaker 1: I'm not highly favored. I'm just average.

456
00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:44,640
Speaker 2: It's easy to talk yourself out of what God said

457
00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:47,560
Speaker 2: about you, But if an angel were to appear to

458
00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:51,560
Speaker 2: you today, he would say the same thing. Hello James,

459
00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:56,600
Speaker 2: you highly favored man. Hello Marie, you highly favored woman.

460
00:24:57,200 --> 00:25:03,399
Speaker 2: Hello Lakewood, you highly favored people. The angel went on

461
00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:05,919
Speaker 2: to tell Mary that she was going to have a

462
00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:10,480
Speaker 2: baby without knowing a man. Sometimes God will put things

463
00:25:10,520 --> 00:25:14,320
Speaker 2: in your heart that seem very unlikely. That's why the

464
00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:19,000
Speaker 2: angel started off the conversation by reminding her that she

465
00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:24,040
Speaker 2: was heavy with favor. When you face impossible situations, you

466
00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:28,080
Speaker 2: have to remind yourself what the angel first said, that you.

467
00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:30,280
Speaker 1: Too are heavy with God's favor.

468
00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:34,920
Speaker 2: Verse forty four, Elizabeth said to Mary, you are blessed

469
00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:39,080
Speaker 2: because you believed the Lord will do what he said.

470
00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:41,600
Speaker 1: Notice believing is the key.

471
00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:45,000
Speaker 2: In other words, even though the angel said she was

472
00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:48,200
Speaker 2: heavy with favor, if she had not believed.

473
00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:49,760
Speaker 1: It, she would have never seen this favor.

474
00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:53,520
Speaker 2: God is saying to you today, this is your due

475
00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:57,919
Speaker 2: season year. Dreams are coming to pass, problems are turning around.

476
00:25:58,080 --> 00:25:59,960
Speaker 2: You're about to rise to a new level.

477
00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:00,639
Speaker 1: Now.

478
00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:03,439
Speaker 2: You can either let circumstances talk you out of it,

479
00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:06,960
Speaker 2: or you can do like Mary and say God, I agree.

480
00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:09,600
Speaker 1: I believe I'm heavy with favor.

481
00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:13,639
Speaker 2: When you arise, God will cause you to shine. Friends,

482
00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:17,160
Speaker 2: what I'm saying is, you're not a lightweight. You didn't get.

483
00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:20,720
Speaker 1: Average favor, ordinary favor. You're heavy with favor.

484
00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:25,280
Speaker 2: Dare to believe big, pray these bold prayers.

485
00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:28,080
Speaker 1: Expect God to do the extraordinary.

486
00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:32,600
Speaker 2: If you'll do this, I believe and declare you haven't seen, heard,

487
00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:35,879
Speaker 2: or imagine what's coming your way. God is about to

488
00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:39,880
Speaker 2: show out in your life. Get ready for breakthroughs, for promotion,

489
00:26:40,119 --> 00:26:43,000
Speaker 2: for healing, for a new level of your destiny.

490
00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:46,960
Speaker 1: In Jesus's name, if you receive it, can you say

491
00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:48,280
Speaker 1: man today?

492
00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:52,639
Speaker 2: We never like to close our broadcast without giving you

493
00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:56,200
Speaker 2: an opportunity to make Jesus the lord of your life.

494
00:26:56,400 --> 00:27:00,879
Speaker 1: Would you pray with me? Just say, Lord, Jesus, I

495
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:06,160
Speaker 1: repent of my sins. Come into my heart. I make

496
00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:07,720
Speaker 1: you my Lord and savior.

497
00:27:09,119 --> 00:27:11,720
Speaker 2: Friends, if you prayed that simple prayer, we believe you

498
00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:14,960
Speaker 2: got born again. Get in a good Bible based church.

499
00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:16,679
Speaker 2: Keep God first place.

500
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:19,640
Speaker 1: He's going to take your places that you've never dreamed.

501
00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:23,840
Speaker 2: When we face challenges, it's easy to feel like God

502
00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:27,040
Speaker 2: has forgotten about us. We don't see anything happening, and

503
00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:29,840
Speaker 2: thought's tell us it's not going to work out. But

504
00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:32,439
Speaker 2: God is not called the great I was or the

505
00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:35,360
Speaker 2: Great I will be. He's called the Great I Am.

Speaker 2: I Am is always in the present, not at a

509
00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:48,840
Speaker 2: later time. God is working in your life right now.

510
00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:52,760
