I like 32 00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:44,760 Speaker 3: to start with something funny, and I heard about this 33 00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:48,560 Speaker 3: five year old boy named Tommy. Was his grandmother's birthday, 34 00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:51,760 Speaker 3: and after wishing her a happy birthday, he said, grandmother, 35 00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:55,080 Speaker 3: how old are you? She said, Tommy, I'm thirty nine 36 00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:58,160 Speaker 3: and holding he thought about it a moment, said grandmother, 37 00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:02,360 Speaker 3: how old would you be? If you let go hold 38 00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:04,640 Speaker 3: up your Bible, say it like you mean it. This 39 00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:07,200 Speaker 3: is my Bible. I am what it says. I am. 40 00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:09,920 Speaker 3: I have what it says I have. I can do 41 00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:12,480 Speaker 3: what it says I can do. Today I will be 42 00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:16,200 Speaker 3: taught the word of God. I boldly confess. My mind 43 00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:19,360 Speaker 3: is alert, my heart is receptive. I will never be 44 00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:24,320 Speaker 3: the same in Jesus' name, God bless you. I want 45 00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:26,920 Speaker 3: to talk to you today about It's a simple thing. 46 00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:31,600 Speaker 3: We all face situations that look impossible. It's easy to 47 00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:34,280 Speaker 3: get discouraged and think about how it's never going to 48 00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:37,480 Speaker 3: work out, But we need to keep the right perspective. 49 00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:42,240 Speaker 3: God already has the solution. Nothing you're facing is a 50 00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:46,240 Speaker 3: surprise to God. It may look complicated to you, but 51 00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:49,720 Speaker 3: to him it's a simple thing. It's no big deal. 52 00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:53,560 Speaker 3: He spoke worlds into existence, he flung stars into space. 53 00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:57,160 Speaker 3: He knows how to get you to your destiny. Think 54 00:02:57,200 --> 00:03:01,880 Speaker 3: about David when he faced Goliath, huge giant, nearly twice 55 00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:06,400 Speaker 3: his size. It looked impossible. Goliath was the Navy seal 56 00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:10,799 Speaker 3: of that day, the biggest, strongest, most experienced. David was 57 00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:14,800 Speaker 3: a teenager taking care of his father's sheep. He didn't 58 00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:19,200 Speaker 3: have any military training. But it's interesting. God didn't need 59 00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:22,520 Speaker 3: the latest weapon for David. He didn't need a full 60 00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:26,079 Speaker 3: set of armor, years of training, troops backing him up. 61 00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:30,800 Speaker 3: All God needed was a slingshot, a simple thing. That 62 00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:34,720 Speaker 3: slingshot helped David to not only defeat Goliath, but it 63 00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:38,480 Speaker 3: eventually put him on the throne of Israel. When four 64 00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:43,520 Speaker 3: lepers were surrounded by an army locked outside their city's gates, 65 00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:47,160 Speaker 3: they didn't have a chance. All the odds were against them. 66 00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:50,800 Speaker 3: They had nothing to lose, so they started walking toward 67 00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:55,400 Speaker 3: the enemy's camp. God caused the sound of their footsteps 68 00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:58,840 Speaker 3: to be multiplied to where it sounded like a huge 69 00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:03,080 Speaker 3: army was approached. When the enemy heard it, they panicked 70 00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:07,200 Speaker 3: and took off running. Those lepers not only saved their lives, 71 00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:11,400 Speaker 3: they saved the entire city of Samaria. The sound of 72 00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:16,000 Speaker 3: their footsteps a simple thing. When thousands of people were 73 00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:20,000 Speaker 3: out on the beach late one evening, hungry, no food, 74 00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:25,640 Speaker 3: no grocery stores, Jesus took five loaves of bread, two fish, 75 00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:29,120 Speaker 3: a simple thing, a little boy's lunch. He prayed over it. 76 00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:33,799 Speaker 3: It multiplied and fed the thousands. When Peter needed money 77 00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:36,880 Speaker 3: for taxes, Jesus told him to go to the lake, 78 00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:39,960 Speaker 3: and the first fish you catch will have money for 79 00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:44,520 Speaker 3: both yours and my taxes. Catching a fish a simple thing. 80 00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:47,480 Speaker 3: We think, how am I ever going to get out 81 00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:50,279 Speaker 3: of debt? How will I send my kids to college? 82 00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:53,520 Speaker 3: It's so expensive. Let me tell you how. A simple thing, 83 00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:59,120 Speaker 3: one good break, one idea, one phone call, one slingshot, 84 00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:03,040 Speaker 3: one little boy lunch. God has some simple things in 85 00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:05,880 Speaker 3: your future. You don't have to have the most talent, 86 00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:11,360 Speaker 3: the most experienced, the most qualifications. One touch of God's favor, 87 00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:14,799 Speaker 3: One simple thing can thrust you to a new level. 88 00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:19,719 Speaker 3: One simple thing and you'll defeat your giants. One simple 89 00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:23,040 Speaker 3: thing and your health will turn around, The problem will resolve, 90 00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:26,920 Speaker 3: the legal situation will solve. Now quit telling yourself it's 91 00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:29,760 Speaker 3: too big, it's too hard, it's never gonna work out. 92 00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:33,359 Speaker 3: Our attitude should be this may look impossible to me, 93 00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:36,600 Speaker 3: but God, I know to you it's a simple thing. 94 00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:41,279 Speaker 3: All power is in your hands. You control the universe. 95 00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:44,719 Speaker 3: So I'm not gonna go around worried, upset, wondering if 96 00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:47,919 Speaker 3: it's gonna work out. I'm gonna stay in faith, knowing 97 00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:51,640 Speaker 3: that you have some simple things come in my way. See, 98 00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:54,279 Speaker 3: too many people go through life thinking of all the 99 00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:58,080 Speaker 3: reasons why they can't be successful, why they can't overcome 100 00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:01,599 Speaker 3: the challenge, while they'll never get Joel, I've had this 101 00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:05,360 Speaker 3: sickness so long, or everybody in my family struggles with 102 00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:08,680 Speaker 3: these same addictions. I don't have the talent, the personality 103 00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:11,080 Speaker 3: it's not going to work out. No, get rid of 104 00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:15,200 Speaker 3: that defeated mindset. Let these words sink down into your spirit. 105 00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:18,320 Speaker 3: It's a simple thing for God to bring your dreams 106 00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:21,160 Speaker 3: to pass. It's a simple thing for you to live 107 00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:23,919 Speaker 3: healthy in home. It's a simple thing for you to 108 00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:26,960 Speaker 3: meet the right person for you to live debt free. 109 00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:30,760 Speaker 3: God is not up in the heavens scratching his head, thinking, man, 110 00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:34,200 Speaker 3: this is so complicated. They got me stumped. God already 111 00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:37,920 Speaker 3: has the solution. He's already lined up the right people, 112 00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:42,160 Speaker 3: the right breaks, the right opportunities. They are already in 113 00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:45,600 Speaker 3: your future, just waiting for you to walk into them. 114 00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:50,200 Speaker 3: If you'll keep moving forward in faith, honoring God being 115 00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:52,680 Speaker 3: your best, you will come in to some of these 116 00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:55,680 Speaker 3: simple things that God has already lined up for you. 117 00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:58,880 Speaker 3: I talked to a young lady that wanted to attend 118 00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:01,920 Speaker 3: a certain college and applied for a scholarship, and they 119 00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:04,600 Speaker 3: called her in for an interview. But the man she 120 00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:08,120 Speaker 3: was talking with was very unfriendly, just matter of fact. 121 00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:11,880 Speaker 3: She could tell he wasn't for her. A few days 122 00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:15,280 Speaker 3: she received an email saying there were no scholarships available, 123 00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:18,360 Speaker 3: but she could kept back in a month or so. 124 00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:20,800 Speaker 3: She went back and met with the man. Same thing. 125 00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:24,480 Speaker 3: Very curt I told you there are no scholarships available. 126 00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:28,240 Speaker 3: It's almost like she was bothering the man. She decided 127 00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:31,400 Speaker 3: to go back and check one last time. She made 128 00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:35,320 Speaker 3: an appointment, but this time the man had to unexpectedly 129 00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:39,440 Speaker 3: be out of town. His supervisor was feeling in for 130 00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:44,560 Speaker 3: him that day. This lady was totally different. She was kind, friendly, 131 00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:48,680 Speaker 3: very helpful. Now she was looking over her records and 132 00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:53,360 Speaker 3: personal information. She noticed that the young lady attends Lakewood. 133 00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:56,160 Speaker 3: She smiled real big and said, you got the right 134 00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:59,680 Speaker 3: person today. I've been attending Lakewood for over twenty years. 135 00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:05,880 Speaker 3: This supervisor went to her office, came back in a 136 00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:10,880 Speaker 3: half hour not only awarded her a full four year scholarship, 137 00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:14,160 Speaker 3: but she included all of her books everything she needed 138 00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:18,840 Speaker 3: to get started. What was that? A simple thing? God 139 00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:22,280 Speaker 3: moved the wrong person out and put the right person in. 140 00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:26,320 Speaker 3: She may have never been able to win over that 141 00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:29,520 Speaker 3: other man, but that didn't matter. God said, in a fact, 142 00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:31,840 Speaker 3: don't worry about it. He doesn't have to help you. 143 00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:36,320 Speaker 3: I control the universe. I have the final say. I 144 00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:38,959 Speaker 3: can either change his mind and cause him to want 145 00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:41,560 Speaker 3: to help you. Or I can move him out and 146 00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:44,960 Speaker 3: put somebody in there that will help you. And we 147 00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:48,199 Speaker 3: all face times where somebody is not for us at 148 00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:52,080 Speaker 3: the office, playing politics, trying to push you down, at school, 149 00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:54,800 Speaker 3: leaving you out, trying to make you look bad. It's 150 00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:57,520 Speaker 3: easy to get frustrated and think, Man, I'm never going 151 00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:00,600 Speaker 3: to get ahead. These people don't like me. Don't worry. 152 00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:04,040 Speaker 3: God has some simple things. God can cause them to 153 00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:06,960 Speaker 3: be on vacation when you need a good break. He 154 00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:09,439 Speaker 3: can cause them to get transferred to a different department. 155 00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:12,920 Speaker 3: Or if God doesn't move them out of the way, 156 00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:16,520 Speaker 3: God can cause you to go over them. The scripture 157 00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:19,160 Speaker 3: says you can run through a troop or leap over 158 00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:21,840 Speaker 3: a wall. Bottom line is God will get you to 159 00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:25,800 Speaker 3: where you're supposed to be. A man told how his 160 00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:29,560 Speaker 3: neighbor lived next door was very hard to get along with. 161 00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:33,240 Speaker 3: They were always having these loud parties way into the night, 162 00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:36,680 Speaker 3: and all the neighbors complained, but these people didn't care. 163 00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:41,000 Speaker 3: They were very disrespectful and continued to cause trouble. This 164 00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:43,800 Speaker 3: has gone on year after year, didn't look like it 165 00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:47,240 Speaker 3: would ever change. One day, this man came home from 166 00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:50,560 Speaker 3: work and noticed a big moving truck in front of 167 00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:53,440 Speaker 3: his next door neighbor's house loading up all their furniture. 168 00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:56,840 Speaker 3: He went over to see what was going on. Come 169 00:09:56,880 --> 00:10:00,280 Speaker 3: to find out the house was filled with termites. The 170 00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:04,400 Speaker 3: people moved out. They never moved back in. He said, Joel, 171 00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:07,800 Speaker 3: I had never thanked God for termites until that day. 172 00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:12,560 Speaker 3: A simple thing. Termites. Well, he said, Joel, you really 173 00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:15,680 Speaker 3: think God used those little bugs. God used locusts to 174 00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:19,480 Speaker 3: change Pharaoh's minds. God used frogs and lizards in the Bible. 175 00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:24,280 Speaker 3: I'm not saying to pray termites on your neighbors. But 176 00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:26,760 Speaker 3: the point is, sometimes we think God's never gonna change. 177 00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:28,200 Speaker 3: I'm gonna have to put up with it the rest 178 00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:31,240 Speaker 3: of my life. No, stay in faith. God has some 179 00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:34,840 Speaker 3: simple things come in your way. This is what happened 180 00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:38,680 Speaker 3: in the Scripture to Mordecai. Mordecai was a good man, 181 00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:42,600 Speaker 3: loved God, lived with excellence and integrity. But there was 182 00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:46,440 Speaker 3: a man named Hayman that worked for the King Haman 183 00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:51,719 Speaker 3: didn't like Mordecai. He had this prestigious position, influential at 184 00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:55,120 Speaker 3: the palace, and he was always trying to push Mordecai down, 185 00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:57,920 Speaker 3: trying to make him look bad. And in the natural 186 00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:00,719 Speaker 3: it seemed like Hayman had an advantage. He had the 187 00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:04,640 Speaker 3: king's ear. What could Mordecai do? But one night the 188 00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:08,079 Speaker 3: king couldn't sleep, and he asked his assistant to bring 189 00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:11,240 Speaker 3: one of the books that had the city's history recorded 190 00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:14,600 Speaker 3: in it. The assistant randomly grabbed a book and gave 191 00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:17,280 Speaker 3: it to the king. The king opened it to a 192 00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:20,839 Speaker 3: page that talked about a good deed that Mordecai had 193 00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:24,000 Speaker 3: done for the city. Out of all the books the 194 00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:27,280 Speaker 3: assistant could have chosen, just so happened he chose this 195 00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:30,680 Speaker 3: particular book. Out of all the pages the king could 196 00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:33,480 Speaker 3: have turned to, just so happened he turned to this 197 00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:38,440 Speaker 3: particular page. The next day he called Hayman in, said, Hayman, 198 00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:41,400 Speaker 3: what do you think we should do to honor a 199 00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:44,840 Speaker 3: person that's done a great deed for the city and 200 00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:48,400 Speaker 3: served the king with excellence. Well, Hayman was so caught 201 00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:51,320 Speaker 3: up in himself he thought the king was talking about him, 202 00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:54,680 Speaker 3: so he played it up real big. He said, King, 203 00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:57,600 Speaker 3: I think we should put a royal robe on that person, 204 00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:01,840 Speaker 3: have a big parade him up and down the city streets, 205 00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:05,920 Speaker 3: announcing what a great person he is. The king said, 206 00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:09,800 Speaker 3: I like that. Good idea. Now go find Mordecai and 207 00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:12,920 Speaker 3: do just what you said. Hey man, you put the 208 00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:16,080 Speaker 3: royal rogue on him. You go up and down the 209 00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:20,280 Speaker 3: streets announcing to everyone how honored he is by the king. 210 00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:25,760 Speaker 3: A simple thing, the King reading the right thing about Mordecai. 211 00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:29,199 Speaker 3: One person putting in a good word for you can 212 00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:31,240 Speaker 3: take you where you could never go on your own. 213 00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:34,439 Speaker 3: One comment, one phone called, one email. Hey, I really 214 00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:38,120 Speaker 3: like them. They're talented. You're blessed to have them. A 215 00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:42,719 Speaker 3: simple thing can cause your boss, your clients, your coworkers 216 00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:45,760 Speaker 3: to see you in a whole new light. Quit worrying 217 00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:49,000 Speaker 3: about who's trying to hold you back the credit you're 218 00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:51,560 Speaker 3: not getting that person trying to make you look bad. 219 00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:55,240 Speaker 3: You don't have to fight those battles. God is your vindicator. 220 00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:58,080 Speaker 3: God will cause them to see you the way he 221 00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:01,079 Speaker 3: wants you to be seen, them to hear what they 222 00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:05,000 Speaker 3: need to hear. God's already lined up the right people 223 00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:08,320 Speaker 3: to put in a good word for you. Second, King's 224 00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:12,320 Speaker 3: three Jehasaphat and his army met up with two other 225 00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:15,840 Speaker 3: friendly armies. They had been traveling through the desert for 226 00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:19,520 Speaker 3: seven days on their way to fight another enemy. When 227 00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:22,880 Speaker 3: they ran out of water, they didn't realize all the 228 00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:25,960 Speaker 3: streams and wells had dried up. Now they had no 229 00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:29,280 Speaker 3: water for their men for their animals. It looked like 230 00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:31,920 Speaker 3: they would be an easy target for the enemy that 231 00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:36,520 Speaker 3: was approaching. King Jehoshaphat told his men to go check 232 00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:39,920 Speaker 3: with the prophet Elisha to see what was going to happen. 233 00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:44,920 Speaker 3: And Elisha said, in verse seventeen, you will see neither 234 00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:49,560 Speaker 3: wind nor rain, but these valleys will be filled with water. 235 00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:53,599 Speaker 3: You will have plenty for yourselves and for your animals. 236 00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:57,840 Speaker 3: But this is only a simple thing for the Lord. 237 00:13:57,960 --> 00:14:00,880 Speaker 3: He will cause you to be victorious over all of 238 00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:04,000 Speaker 3: the enemies. He goes on to tell how the next 239 00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:08,360 Speaker 3: day it didn't rain, there wasn't a storm, but water 240 00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:12,200 Speaker 3: filled the valley. King Johasaphat and his men ended up 241 00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:15,640 Speaker 3: defeating the enemy went on to conquer those cities. But 242 00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:19,800 Speaker 3: what's interesting is this valley suddenly filled up with water, 243 00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:23,200 Speaker 3: came out of nowhere middle of the desert, and water 244 00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:26,960 Speaker 3: starts flowing. To me, that seems like a big deal, 245 00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:31,880 Speaker 3: a great miracle. Yet Elisha said, this is a simple 246 00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:36,400 Speaker 3: thing for our God. I've learned what's simple to me 247 00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:40,440 Speaker 3: and what's simple to God are two different things. What 248 00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:46,480 Speaker 3: God calls simple we would call supernatural, extraordinary, far and beyond. 249 00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:51,160 Speaker 3: Your situation may look impossible. You don't see how you 250 00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:53,840 Speaker 3: could accomplish a dream, or how you could get well, 251 00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:57,280 Speaker 3: how your marriage could be restored. There's no water in 252 00:14:57,320 --> 00:15:01,080 Speaker 3: your valley, but God is saying it's not going to 253 00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:04,520 Speaker 3: happen a normal way. You're not going to see clouds, 254 00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:07,720 Speaker 3: you're not going to have any rain, but that valley 255 00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:11,240 Speaker 3: is going to suddenly fill up with water. In other words, 256 00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:14,920 Speaker 3: out of nowhere, you get a good break, your health improves, 257 00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:18,280 Speaker 3: the business takes off, you meet the right person, the 258 00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:23,440 Speaker 3: situation turns around. That's God giving you water without rain. 259 00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:27,560 Speaker 3: You weren't the most qualified, didn't have the most experienced, 260 00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:32,040 Speaker 3: but suddenly you were promoted. Suddenly you find yourself where 261 00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:35,400 Speaker 3: you could not go on your own. We're thrilled, we're 262 00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:38,720 Speaker 3: on cloud nine. But God says, hey, it's no big deal. 263 00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:42,760 Speaker 3: It's just a simple thing for me. Maybe in your health, 264 00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:46,160 Speaker 3: the medical report said you'd never get well, the odds 265 00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:48,960 Speaker 3: were against you, but you look up like my mother. 266 00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:53,120 Speaker 3: Thirty years later, you're still healthy. Whole, still going strong. 267 00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:58,720 Speaker 3: That's what God calls a simple thing. In your finances. 268 00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:01,120 Speaker 3: You didn't see how you could get out dead. Didn't 269 00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:03,880 Speaker 3: look good on paper, But that valley began to fill 270 00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:07,760 Speaker 3: up with water, not a normal way, not rain, not 271 00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:10,560 Speaker 3: something you could take credit for. This was the hand 272 00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:14,440 Speaker 3: of God promoting you, giving you wisdom, putting you at 273 00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:17,440 Speaker 3: the right place, opening doors that no man can shut. 274 00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:21,320 Speaker 3: And if we're going to become everything we were created 275 00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:23,960 Speaker 3: to be, if we're going to reach our highest potential, 276 00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:27,240 Speaker 3: we can't go around thinking this is too big. It's 277 00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:30,200 Speaker 3: never going to work out. I never get any good breaks, No, 278 00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:34,200 Speaker 3: have a new perspective. It's a simple thing for our God. 279 00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:37,640 Speaker 3: He's saying to you what he said, did ya husaphat, 280 00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:41,200 Speaker 3: don't worry, don't panic, don't turn around, go back home. 281 00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:45,480 Speaker 3: I'm going to fill those dry places with water. It's 282 00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:49,600 Speaker 3: going to happen suddenly. It's going to be unusual, not 283 00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:55,440 Speaker 3: what you were expecting. Water without rain. That means God 284 00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:59,360 Speaker 3: can heal you without the treatment. God can promote you 285 00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:03,680 Speaker 3: even though you weren't the most qualified. God can increase 286 00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:08,000 Speaker 3: you beyond your salary, bring you out of debt, put 287 00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:12,480 Speaker 3: you into overflow, without the company, without normal means, God 288 00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:16,080 Speaker 3: has explosive blessings. When you say, Joel, I feel like 289 00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:18,520 Speaker 3: I'm in a drought today. I hadn't had any good 290 00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:22,199 Speaker 3: breaks in a long time. That's just where Jehosaphat was. 291 00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:26,840 Speaker 3: Don't complain. Get ready for a simple thing, something out 292 00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:30,880 Speaker 3: of the ordinary, not what you were expecting, something that 293 00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:34,000 Speaker 3: you could not make happen on your own. I read 294 00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:36,639 Speaker 3: about a twenty nine year old young man. He was 295 00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:39,800 Speaker 3: a minor league baseball player, and a few years back 296 00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:43,359 Speaker 3: he bought a fifty acre plot of land from his 297 00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:46,399 Speaker 3: great aunt so she could afford to move into a 298 00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:50,280 Speaker 3: senior's home. He paid one thousand dollars an acre fifty 299 00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:53,840 Speaker 3: thousand dollars for the property, and it really wasn't valued 300 00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:56,520 Speaker 3: that high. It was way out in the country, the 301 00:17:56,520 --> 00:17:58,919 Speaker 3: middle of nowhere. He just did it as a favor 302 00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:01,520 Speaker 3: to his loved One one day, he was out with 303 00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:04,920 Speaker 3: some equipment digging around on the property, clearing a couple 304 00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:09,520 Speaker 3: of acres. He kept hitting this flat stone everywhere he went, 305 00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:12,320 Speaker 3: right under the surface. There was this certain kind of rock. 306 00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:16,119 Speaker 3: He called an expert out and they discovered that his 307 00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:20,800 Speaker 3: property is filled with something called goshen stone. It's some 308 00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:24,680 Speaker 3: of the most beautiful and sought after landscaping stone around. 309 00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:30,320 Speaker 3: Geologists estimate there are twenty four million tons of goshen 310 00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:33,640 Speaker 3: stone on his property. It sells for a little over 311 00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:37,159 Speaker 3: one hundred dollars a ton. That calculates out to be 312 00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:41,000 Speaker 3: a little over two billion dollars worth of stone. You 313 00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:45,560 Speaker 3: know what that is? Water without rain? God increasing you 314 00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:50,840 Speaker 3: in unusual ways, beyond your salary, beyond what was expected. 315 00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:54,760 Speaker 3: Why don't you take the limits off of God. You 316 00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:57,240 Speaker 3: may not see how this can happen, but that's not 317 00:18:57,359 --> 00:19:01,199 Speaker 3: our job. Our job is to believe. Our job is 318 00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:04,119 Speaker 3: to say, God, I know you have some simple things 319 00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:06,760 Speaker 3: in my future. God, I know you can fill my 320 00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:10,119 Speaker 3: valleys in ways that I've never imagined. So Lord, I 321 00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:13,920 Speaker 3: want to thank you for the surpassing greatness of your favor. 322 00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:18,480 Speaker 3: Your faith is what activates God's power. When you're in 323 00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:21,640 Speaker 3: a drought, when you're in a valley, that's when you'll 324 00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:25,119 Speaker 3: be the most tempted to get discouraged to complain. If 325 00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:28,439 Speaker 3: you're not careful, you'll settle there. Thank God. This is 326 00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:31,080 Speaker 3: my lot in life. It's never going to change. Joel, 327 00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:35,080 Speaker 3: I don't see any clouds in the sky. Neither did Yehashaphat. 328 00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:38,600 Speaker 3: Yet God said the valley was going to be filled 329 00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:41,639 Speaker 3: with water. It would have been hard enough to believe 330 00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:43,840 Speaker 3: if God would have said it was going to rain. 331 00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:47,120 Speaker 3: They were out in the desert. It never rains out there. 332 00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:50,520 Speaker 3: Yet Elisha took it a step further and said, it's 333 00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:53,560 Speaker 3: not going to rain. You're not going to see any clouds, 334 00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:58,160 Speaker 3: any normal sign of this happening, But these valleys are 335 00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:02,840 Speaker 3: going to fill up with water. Jehosaphat stood at a crossroads. 336 00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:08,480 Speaker 3: Was he going to believe that God could do something unusual, unprecedented, 337 00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:11,480 Speaker 3: out of the ordinary, or was he just going to 338 00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:14,840 Speaker 3: look at it in the natural, reason it out and think, Ah, 339 00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:16,760 Speaker 3: it's not gonna happen for me. I never get any 340 00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:19,520 Speaker 3: good breaks, I'll never get well, I'll never meet the 341 00:20:19,600 --> 00:20:22,560 Speaker 3: right person. I'm in a desert. No, you've got to 342 00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:26,600 Speaker 3: do what Jehoashaphat did and say, even though I don't 343 00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:30,119 Speaker 3: see any sign of this happening, even though it doesn't 344 00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:33,679 Speaker 3: make sense in the natural, even though every voice is 345 00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:37,280 Speaker 3: telling me it's impossible, I'm going to choose to believe 346 00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:41,040 Speaker 3: what God said that he can bring me water without rain, 347 00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:45,080 Speaker 3: that he can turn this desert into a stream, that 348 00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:47,720 Speaker 3: he can make a way where there is no way. 349 00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:52,280 Speaker 3: When you believe all things are possible, quit telling yourself 350 00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:54,119 Speaker 3: it's too big, it's too hard, it's not going to 351 00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:57,400 Speaker 3: work out. You can talk yourself out of God's goodness. 352 00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:01,520 Speaker 3: It may look impossible in the natur but remember we 353 00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:04,840 Speaker 3: serve a supernatural God. All it takes is one touch 354 00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:09,360 Speaker 3: of his favor. This is what happened with the Israelites. 355 00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:12,480 Speaker 3: They were in the desert, headed toward the Promised Land. 356 00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:16,359 Speaker 3: They got tired of eating mana every day. Mana was 357 00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:20,000 Speaker 3: something like bread. They complained to Moses that they didn't 358 00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:23,520 Speaker 3: have any meat to eat. God heard the complaining and 359 00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:26,120 Speaker 3: told Moses that he was going to give them meat, 360 00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:29,280 Speaker 3: not for one day, not for five days, not for 361 00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:33,000 Speaker 3: twenty days, but for a whole month. Moses said, God, 362 00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:36,920 Speaker 3: that's impossible. We're in the desert. There are two million 363 00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:40,000 Speaker 3: people out here. Even if we butchered all of our 364 00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:42,840 Speaker 3: flocks and all of our herds, we wouldn't have that 365 00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:47,080 Speaker 3: much meat. God said Moses, is there any limit to 366 00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:51,080 Speaker 3: my power? Moses, did you forget that I parted the 367 00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:55,119 Speaker 3: Red Sea? I stopped the sun for Joshua. I protected 368 00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:59,240 Speaker 3: three Hebrew teenagers from a fiery furnace. Moses, don't you 369 00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:03,560 Speaker 3: realize I can bring water without rain. I can bring 370 00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:06,920 Speaker 3: meat without a grocery store. I can guide you through 371 00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:10,679 Speaker 3: the desert without a GPS system, using a cloud by 372 00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:13,879 Speaker 3: day a pillar of fire by night. There's no limit 373 00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:18,920 Speaker 3: to my power. The scripture says God shifted the direction 374 00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:22,440 Speaker 3: of the wind and brought in quall from the sea 375 00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:26,600 Speaker 3: and caused it to fall into the camp. God simply 376 00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:31,560 Speaker 3: breathed in their direction, and suddenly millions of quall were 377 00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:34,160 Speaker 3: at their front door. They didn't have to go looking 378 00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:38,760 Speaker 3: for it. Honey fishing, The quail came to them. God 379 00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:45,440 Speaker 3: thought of home delivery way before Domino's. But sometimes we think, Joel, 380 00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:48,439 Speaker 3: this situation is never going to change. God is asking 381 00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:51,879 Speaker 3: you what he asked Moses. Is there any limit to 382 00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:55,280 Speaker 3: my power? I make streets out of gold. I can 383 00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:58,840 Speaker 3: bring your dreams to pass. I breathe life into your body. 384 00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:02,639 Speaker 3: I can correct way that's wrong. I controlled the whole universe. 385 00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:07,240 Speaker 3: I can cause things to suddenly fall into place. Imagine 386 00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:11,359 Speaker 3: that scene. Every night, for thirty days, two million people 387 00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:15,080 Speaker 3: sitting down in the desert having a state dinner. You 388 00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:18,600 Speaker 3: know what, that was a simple thing. God just breathed 389 00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:21,960 Speaker 3: on them. No big deal. Now, you may not need 390 00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:25,560 Speaker 3: steak in the desert, but you need healing from an illness. 391 00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:28,760 Speaker 3: You need freedom from an addiction. You need a child 392 00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:30,720 Speaker 3: to come back home. You need a good break to 393 00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:34,520 Speaker 3: accomplish your dream. Why don't you say, God, you did 394 00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:37,919 Speaker 3: it for them, Do it for me. God, breathe in 395 00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:41,400 Speaker 3: my direction. Show me one of those simple things. God, 396 00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:45,199 Speaker 3: let me have water without rain. This is what happened 397 00:23:45,200 --> 00:23:47,680 Speaker 3: to a man in the scripture. He was a captain 398 00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:50,399 Speaker 3: in the army. He had a young man that lived 399 00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:53,159 Speaker 3: with him that was just like his son, that had 400 00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:56,639 Speaker 3: become very sick and was close to death. The whole 401 00:23:56,960 --> 00:23:59,880 Speaker 3: family was distraught and upset. They didn't know what to do. 402 00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:03,600 Speaker 3: And this captain heard that Jesus was in town, and 403 00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:06,120 Speaker 3: he went to him and said, Jesus, my loved one 404 00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:10,080 Speaker 3: is so sick. Would you please help me. Jesus said yes, 405 00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:13,000 Speaker 3: I'll come to your house right now and heal him. 406 00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:17,240 Speaker 3: The man said, Jesus, I'm a captain in the army. 407 00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:20,200 Speaker 3: I have a lot of authority when I speak people 408 00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:23,119 Speaker 3: obey me. You're busy. You don't need to come to 409 00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:26,800 Speaker 3: my house. Just speak the word, and I know my 410 00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:32,240 Speaker 3: loved one will be made whole. Jesus was amazed. Everyone 411 00:24:32,359 --> 00:24:35,280 Speaker 3: else would have loved for Jesus to come to their house. 412 00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:38,399 Speaker 3: They were all pulling on him, begging him, but not 413 00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:42,440 Speaker 3: this man. His attitude was, it's a simple thing for you. 414 00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:46,280 Speaker 3: It's a big deal to me, but it's nothing for you. 415 00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:51,200 Speaker 3: You spoke worlds into existence. Jesus said, I haven't seen 416 00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:54,360 Speaker 3: this great of faith in all of Israel. You can 417 00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:58,400 Speaker 3: go home. Your loved one has been healed. Here's my point. 418 00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:02,280 Speaker 3: When you face a city situation that looks impossible, you 419 00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:05,119 Speaker 3: don't see how it could work out, But deep down 420 00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:09,080 Speaker 3: you know, for our God, it's a simple thing. God 421 00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:12,920 Speaker 3: calls that great faith. It may seem like you could 422 00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:15,800 Speaker 3: never get out of debt, never pay your house off, 423 00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:19,800 Speaker 3: never build that orphanage you're dreaming about, But deep down 424 00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:23,560 Speaker 3: you know God takes pleasure in prospering you. You know 425 00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:26,320 Speaker 3: he's supplying all of your needs. You know you will 426 00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:30,840 Speaker 3: lend and not borrow. That's great faith. The medical report 427 00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:33,800 Speaker 3: may say nothing more we can do. The odds are 428 00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:38,359 Speaker 3: against you. But deep down you know Jehovah Rapha, the Lord, 429 00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:41,879 Speaker 3: our healer, is restoring health back into you. God calls 430 00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:46,719 Speaker 3: that great faith the child that's off course. The legal trouble, 431 00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:50,560 Speaker 3: the problem at work looks like it may never turn around. 432 00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:55,040 Speaker 3: You could easily live depressed, discourage, stressed out. But instead 433 00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:58,520 Speaker 3: you have the attitude. God I know for you. It's 434 00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:02,280 Speaker 3: a simple thing. All power is in your hands. God. 435 00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:05,040 Speaker 3: You did it for Moses, you did it for Jehosaphat, 436 00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:07,679 Speaker 3: you did it for the army. Captain. God, I know 437 00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:11,159 Speaker 3: you can do it for me. That's what allows the 438 00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:15,080 Speaker 3: creator of the universe to show up and do amazing things. 439 00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:19,679 Speaker 3: Whatever you're up against, whatever you're dreaming about, keep the 440 00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:23,679 Speaker 3: right perspective. It's a simple thing. For our God. He 441 00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:27,880 Speaker 3: can bring water without rain. You may be in a desert, 442 00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:31,399 Speaker 3: in a dry place. My encouragement is get ready. Those 443 00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:35,240 Speaker 3: valleys are about to be filled. It's going to happen suddenly, 444 00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:39,679 Speaker 3: not a normal way, not something you were expecting, something 445 00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:43,640 Speaker 3: out of the ordinary. Suddenly the wind shifts in your direction. 446 00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:47,719 Speaker 3: Like the Israelites, your camp is filled with quail. In 447 00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:50,440 Speaker 3: other words, you meet the right person, like the young 448 00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:53,400 Speaker 3: lady with the scholarship, or somebody puts in a good 449 00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:58,000 Speaker 3: word for you, like Mordecai. Suddenly you're vindicated, You're promoted. 450 00:26:58,160 --> 00:27:01,399 Speaker 3: The problem turns around God. God's done it in the past, 451 00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:04,080 Speaker 3: He's going to do it again in the future. Now, 452 00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:07,880 Speaker 3: I believe and declare simple things are come in your way. 453 00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:17,240 Speaker 3: Supernatural breaks, opportunities, provision, healing, restoration.

In Jesus's name, I 458 00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:36,080 Speaker 3: declare it, if you receive it? Can you say it? Men?
