He was known for being eccentric. 49 00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:20,360 Speaker 6: He was having a big party at his house. In 50 00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:23,640 Speaker 6: his backyard, he had this huge swimming pool filled with 51 00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:27,680 Speaker 6: sharks and alligators. He announced to the guest, anyone that 52 00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:30,040 Speaker 6: will swim across my pool, I'll give. 53 00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:32,639 Speaker 4: You anything you want. In a few minutes, there was 54 00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:33,880 Speaker 4: a big splash. 55 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:37,840 Speaker 6: This man was in there, going ninety to nothing, dodging sharks, 56 00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:41,320 Speaker 6: maneuvering around alligators, made it to the other side just 57 00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:44,080 Speaker 6: in the nick of time. The owner said, Wow, you're 58 00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:46,240 Speaker 6: the bravest man I've ever met. 59 00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:47,919 Speaker 4: Now, what do you want me to give you? 60 00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:50,639 Speaker 6: The man said, what I want more than anything else 61 00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:53,480 Speaker 6: is the name of the person that just pushed me in. 62 00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:57,720 Speaker 6: Say it like you mean it. This is my Bible. 63 00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:00,520 Speaker 6: I am what it says I am. I have what 64 00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:03,120 Speaker 6: it says I have. I can do what it says 65 00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:06,000 Speaker 6: I can do. Today I will be taught the word 66 00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:10,240 Speaker 6: of God. I boldly confess. My mind is alert, my 67 00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:15,120 Speaker 6: heart is receptive. I will never be the same. In Jesus' name. 68 00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:16,080 Speaker 4: God bless you. 69 00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:20,560 Speaker 6: I want to talk to you today about declaring favor. 70 00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:23,919 Speaker 4: One way our faith is released. 71 00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:27,000 Speaker 6: Is through our words, and there is a connection between 72 00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:31,400 Speaker 6: speaking favor and receiving favor. It's not enough to just 73 00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:35,240 Speaker 6: believe you have favor. It's not enough to just expect favor. 74 00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:39,280 Speaker 6: You have to take it one step further and declare favor. 75 00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:43,480 Speaker 6: Every day you should declare, I have the favor of God. 76 00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:47,320 Speaker 6: Favor is on my family, Favor is on my health, 77 00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:50,960 Speaker 6: Favor is on my business, Favor is on my finances. 78 00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:52,559 Speaker 4: When you speak. 79 00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:55,120 Speaker 6: Something out, you give it the right to come to past. 80 00:03:56,040 --> 00:04:00,280 Speaker 6: When you face difficult situations, instead of being discouraged thinking 81 00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:03,560 Speaker 6: why did this happen, you need to declare. The favor 82 00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:09,240 Speaker 6: of God is turning this around. Favor is bringing healing, freedom, vindication, 83 00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:13,040 Speaker 6: victory into my life. It's one thing to think it, 84 00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:16,600 Speaker 6: but when you declare it, angels go to work in 85 00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:21,320 Speaker 6: the unseen realm, things begin to change. We prayed, we believed, 86 00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:25,839 Speaker 6: we'd hoped. That's good, but it's time to start speaking favor. 87 00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:30,280 Speaker 6: Speak favor over your finances. Father, Thank you that your 88 00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:34,560 Speaker 6: favor is bringing me clients. Thank you that your favor 89 00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:37,320 Speaker 6: is causing me to stand out. Thank you that what 90 00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:42,040 Speaker 6: I touch will prosper and succeed. The scripture says Jesus 91 00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:45,400 Speaker 6: increased in favor with God and with people. 92 00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:47,800 Speaker 4: You can increase in favor. 93 00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:50,760 Speaker 6: The more you thank God for it, the more you 94 00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:52,760 Speaker 6: declare it, the more favor you're. 95 00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:55,760 Speaker 4: Going to see. Joe, you say I have favor, but 96 00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:59,080 Speaker 4: I never get good breaks. I never see anything unusual. 97 00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:03,320 Speaker 6: Maybe it's because you're not declaring it. Why don't you 98 00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:06,559 Speaker 6: step it up a notch all through the day, Father, 99 00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:10,520 Speaker 6: thank you that your favor is endorsing me. Thank you 100 00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:13,640 Speaker 6: that your favor is bringing me into prominence. Thank you 101 00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:17,360 Speaker 6: that favor is taking me to new levels. That's not 102 00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:21,239 Speaker 6: just being positive, that's releasing your faith for the favor 103 00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:25,080 Speaker 6: of God. There were five of us children growing up. 104 00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:28,960 Speaker 6: We never left the house without my mother saying, Father, 105 00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:31,880 Speaker 6: thank you that my children have your favor. 106 00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:35,360 Speaker 4: Work for all of us except my brother Paul. Four 107 00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:36,560 Speaker 4: out of five is not bad. 108 00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:40,800 Speaker 6: But it's good to pray over your children. Ask God 109 00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:44,839 Speaker 6: to protect them, guide them, give them wisdom. But don't 110 00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:45,520 Speaker 6: stop there. 111 00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:47,159 Speaker 4: Speak favor over them. 112 00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:51,040 Speaker 6: Father, Thank you that my children have favor with their teachers, 113 00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:55,120 Speaker 6: favor with other students, Favor that causes them to excel 114 00:05:56,240 --> 00:06:00,320 Speaker 6: David did this. He said, surely goodness and mercy will 115 00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:04,080 Speaker 6: follow me all the days of my life. The word goodness, 116 00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:09,039 Speaker 6: in one translation is favor. He was saying, surely, favor. 117 00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:11,120 Speaker 4: Follows me all of my life. 118 00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:14,800 Speaker 6: In effect, he was saying, Favor is keeping enemies from 119 00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:19,400 Speaker 6: defeating me. Favor is making me attractive. Favor is bringing 120 00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:23,680 Speaker 6: promotion and opportunity. He didn't just think about it. He 121 00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:26,800 Speaker 6: didn't just hope it would work out. He spoke favor 122 00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:30,880 Speaker 6: over his life. No wonder, the prophet Samuel came to 123 00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:34,760 Speaker 6: him and annointed him the next king. No wonder, he 124 00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:39,080 Speaker 6: defeated a giant twice his size. No wonder, King Saul 125 00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:43,440 Speaker 6: couldn't kill him. When you're constantly talking about the favor 126 00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:45,080 Speaker 6: of God, bragging on. 127 00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:48,080 Speaker 4: His goodness, you will go places you couldn't go on 128 00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:48,600 Speaker 4: your own. 129 00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:53,480 Speaker 6: You will overcome obstacles that seem impossible. Maybe you've been 130 00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:56,279 Speaker 6: single for a long time, you don't think you'll ever 131 00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:59,960 Speaker 6: meet the right person. Start declaring the favor of God. 132 00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:03,840 Speaker 6: God is bringing someone awesome into my life. Favor is 133 00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:06,600 Speaker 6: making me attractive. Favor is putting me. 134 00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:08,599 Speaker 4: At the right place at the right time. 135 00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:13,440 Speaker 6: If you're struggling in your finances instead of complaining, the 136 00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:17,640 Speaker 6: Favor of God is bringing increase in promotion. Favor is 137 00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:21,200 Speaker 6: opening doors that I can't open. Favor is causing good 138 00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:24,920 Speaker 6: breaks to come to me. Or the medical report doesn't 139 00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:27,960 Speaker 6: look good, you could just pray about it. Hope you 140 00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:32,760 Speaker 6: get better. Start declaring. The favor of God is bringing healing. 141 00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:36,840 Speaker 6: The favor of God is causing me to recover. The 142 00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:39,880 Speaker 6: Favor of God is helping me to defy the odds 143 00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:41,200 Speaker 6: with long life. 144 00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:42,600 Speaker 4: God will satisfy me. 145 00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:47,560 Speaker 6: Ever since I've started ministering, I've said, Father, thank you 146 00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:51,040 Speaker 6: that your favor causes me to stand out that when 147 00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:54,920 Speaker 6: people turn me on, they can't turn me off. Every 148 00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:58,240 Speaker 6: week somebody tells me I was flipping through the channels. 149 00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:01,360 Speaker 6: I don't like TV minuts, I never watched them. 150 00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:02,240 Speaker 4: But Joel, I. 151 00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:05,800 Speaker 6: Turned you on and I couldn't turn you off. I 152 00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:10,320 Speaker 6: know that wasn't a coincidence. It wouldn't have happened if 153 00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:14,320 Speaker 6: I had not declared favor. The dreams God has put 154 00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:17,000 Speaker 6: in your heart, you need to speak favor over them. 155 00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:21,480 Speaker 6: Problems that look impossible, declare the favor of God is 156 00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:25,440 Speaker 6: turning them around. Nee Amiah in the scripture, had a 157 00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:29,160 Speaker 6: dream to rebuild the walls around Jerusalem. They were torn 158 00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:31,720 Speaker 6: down and the people were there unprotected. 159 00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:33,359 Speaker 4: This seemed impossible. 160 00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:37,920 Speaker 6: Neomiah was living a thousand miles away, working as a. 161 00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:39,040 Speaker 4: Cup bearer to the king. 162 00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:43,920 Speaker 6: He didn't have the influence, the connections, the resources, the funding. 163 00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:47,920 Speaker 6: But when God gives you a dream, he lines up 164 00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:51,840 Speaker 6: everything you need. His favor will cause it to all 165 00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:55,400 Speaker 6: come together. The question is are you going to activate 166 00:08:55,520 --> 00:09:00,199 Speaker 6: this favor. Neimiah wasn't a cabinet member, he wasn't the 167 00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:01,760 Speaker 6: king's executive staff. 168 00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:05,880 Speaker 4: He was working in the kitchen, but he understood this principle. 169 00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:09,800 Speaker 6: The favor on his life would help him accomplish dreams 170 00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:13,440 Speaker 6: he couldn't accomplish on his own. He asked the king 171 00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:17,640 Speaker 6: for permission to return to Jerusalem to work on the project. 172 00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:21,679 Speaker 6: For some reason, the king liked him. Didn't make sense 173 00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:24,560 Speaker 6: to let him off that long, but the king said yes. 174 00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:29,080 Speaker 6: Neemiah said, I'm going to need protection. Will you give 175 00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:32,480 Speaker 6: me a letter addressed to all the leaders in the 176 00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:36,000 Speaker 6: cities I'm traveling through, telling them who I am. The 177 00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:40,640 Speaker 6: king agreed. Neemiah didn't stop there. He said one more thing, King, 178 00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:44,320 Speaker 6: I don't have any supplies to rebuild the wall. I 179 00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:47,360 Speaker 6: don't have any money. I need a letter from you 180 00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:50,840 Speaker 6: asking the people that own the lumber mills and the 181 00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:52,400 Speaker 6: stone factories to. 182 00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:54,520 Speaker 4: Give me the materials that I need. 183 00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:58,480 Speaker 6: When you know you have favor, you'll have a boldness, 184 00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:03,080 Speaker 6: a confidence to ask big, to expect advantages. 185 00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:07,760 Speaker 4: Again, the king said yes. In Nehemiah too, he. 186 00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:12,520 Speaker 6: Said, the King granted me these requests because the gracious 187 00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:15,960 Speaker 6: hand of God was upon me. He was saying, I 188 00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:19,120 Speaker 6: know why all this happened. The favor of God is 189 00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:23,600 Speaker 6: on my life. When you see God's favor, always take 190 00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:26,800 Speaker 6: time to thank him. Take a moment to say, Lord, 191 00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:29,040 Speaker 6: I recognize this was your goodness. 192 00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:30,680 Speaker 4: Thank you for favoring me. 193 00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:34,199 Speaker 6: Thank you for making things happen that I couldn't make happen. 194 00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:38,040 Speaker 6: Neemiah started on the wall, and he had all kinds 195 00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:42,280 Speaker 6: of opposition, but every time the favor of God helped 196 00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:45,959 Speaker 6: him to overcome. It should have taken him more than 197 00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:48,440 Speaker 6: a year to rebuild it, but he did it in 198 00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:49,800 Speaker 6: just fifty two days. 199 00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:53,280 Speaker 4: God's favor will accelerate things. 200 00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:56,320 Speaker 6: So now going to take as long as you think 201 00:10:56,640 --> 00:11:00,280 Speaker 6: to accomplish your dreams, to recover from the illness, to 202 00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:03,640 Speaker 6: pay your house off. The favor on your life is 203 00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:08,319 Speaker 6: speeding things up. Neebiah said in verse eighteen, I told 204 00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:11,920 Speaker 6: all the people how the gracious hand of God was 205 00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:16,679 Speaker 6: on my life. He was constantly bragging on God's goodness, 206 00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:21,280 Speaker 6: constantly talking about his favor. When you face situations that 207 00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:25,120 Speaker 6: seem impossible, don't talk about how big the problem is. 208 00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:29,520 Speaker 4: Do like Nehemiah and start declaring, the gracious hand of 209 00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:30,880 Speaker 4: God is on my life. 210 00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:35,000 Speaker 6: Well, your child is off course, yes, but the favor 211 00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:35,880 Speaker 6: of God is. 212 00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:36,679 Speaker 4: Bringing him back. 213 00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:40,959 Speaker 6: You can't start your business, you don't have the connections. Yes, 214 00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:44,080 Speaker 6: but I have an advantage. The favor of God is 215 00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:48,760 Speaker 6: bringing the right people. Well, the medical report says you're done, yes, 216 00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:51,560 Speaker 6: but I have another report. It says I will live 217 00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:54,880 Speaker 6: and not die. Father, thank you that your gracious hand 218 00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:58,280 Speaker 6: is on me. Think you that your favor is doing 219 00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:02,000 Speaker 6: what medicine cannot do. Well, Joel, I tried this for 220 00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:03,560 Speaker 6: two weeks and nothing happened. 221 00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:05,920 Speaker 4: This needs to be a way of life. 222 00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:10,719 Speaker 6: Where every day, whether it's sunny or rainy, whether you're 223 00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:13,400 Speaker 6: on the mountaintop or in the valley, you get up 224 00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:16,439 Speaker 6: in the morning and say I have the favor of God. 225 00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:21,560 Speaker 6: That's not just to remind yourself, not just to show 226 00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:24,040 Speaker 6: God that you're trusting him, but you're. 227 00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:26,000 Speaker 4: Showing the enemy who you belong to. 228 00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:30,480 Speaker 6: And the scripture says, if you will acknowledge God in 229 00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:34,439 Speaker 6: all your ways, he will crown your efforts with success. 230 00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:39,600 Speaker 6: One way to acknowledge God is all through the day under. 231 00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:41,520 Speaker 4: Your breath, declare his favor. 232 00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:45,440 Speaker 6: Before you make that presentation at work, Father, thank you 233 00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:49,400 Speaker 6: that I have favor with these people going to the mall. Lord, 234 00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:51,840 Speaker 6: thank you that your favor will help me find what 235 00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:54,479 Speaker 6: I need. The favor of God. 236 00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:55,959 Speaker 4: Will help you get the best deals. 237 00:12:56,720 --> 00:12:59,120 Speaker 6: Favor will put you at the right place at the 238 00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:03,280 Speaker 6: right time. You pull into a crowded parking lot, right 239 00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:06,320 Speaker 6: when you drive in, that car backs out. You get 240 00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:09,440 Speaker 6: that upfront spot. That wasn't a lucky break. That was 241 00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:13,840 Speaker 6: the fever on your life. Years ago, I promised our 242 00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:16,600 Speaker 6: daughter Alexandra that I would get her a cell phone. 243 00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:19,280 Speaker 6: The next day she came running, Dad, can we go 244 00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:20,960 Speaker 6: to the store, And I said yes. 245 00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:23,840 Speaker 4: Jonathan heard we were going. He wanted to come. 246 00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:26,280 Speaker 6: Said that's great, Jonathan. We love to have you, but 247 00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:29,320 Speaker 6: you already have a cell phone. He said, I know, Dad, 248 00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:32,000 Speaker 6: I just want to look. When Victoria heard that we 249 00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:34,680 Speaker 6: were all going, she decided to come along as well. 250 00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:36,720 Speaker 4: Turned into a family affair. 251 00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:40,960 Speaker 6: Drive into the store under my breath, just out of habit, 252 00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:43,840 Speaker 6: I said, Lord, thank you for your favor, thank you 253 00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:45,600 Speaker 6: that you'll help us find what we need. 254 00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:47,240 Speaker 4: We walked in the store. 255 00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:50,000 Speaker 6: Men came out to wait on us, showed us some phones. 256 00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:53,640 Speaker 6: Alexandra found the one that she wanted. We were about 257 00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:56,640 Speaker 6: to check out. Jonathan came up and said, Dad, I 258 00:13:56,720 --> 00:14:00,760 Speaker 6: really want the newer version of my phone was not 259 00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:03,800 Speaker 6: even a year old, practically brand new, and I didn't 260 00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:04,760 Speaker 6: really want to do that. 261 00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:07,600 Speaker 4: The salesman asked to see my phone. 262 00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:10,800 Speaker 6: He typed something in the computer and said, you're due 263 00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:14,120 Speaker 6: for an upgrade at no charge. I said, well, great, 264 00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:17,479 Speaker 6: give Jonathan the new phone and I'll take his. 265 00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:18,560 Speaker 4: His was like new to me. 266 00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:22,080 Speaker 6: We were about to leave. The salesman said to Victoria, 267 00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:23,320 Speaker 6: what kind of phone. 268 00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:26,480 Speaker 4: Do you have? She showed him. He said, you need 269 00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:29,880 Speaker 4: a new phone. He checked the computer. She wasn't due 270 00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:33,400 Speaker 4: for several years. I thank them for checking for all 271 00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:33,960 Speaker 4: their help. 272 00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:38,400 Speaker 6: As we were walking out, the manager another man said, 273 00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:42,360 Speaker 6: wait a minute, she's not leaving without a new phone. 274 00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:46,080 Speaker 4: The salesman looked at the manager, like, what do you mean? 275 00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:48,480 Speaker 4: What do you want me to do? He said, just 276 00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:51,880 Speaker 4: give her a phone. His eyes got this big. 277 00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:54,800 Speaker 6: He said, you mean like give her like free, like 278 00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:58,320 Speaker 6: not charger. The manager said, yes, give her any phone 279 00:14:58,400 --> 00:14:59,000 Speaker 6: she wants. 280 00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:01,200 Speaker 4: We went in. I'm there to get one phone. 281 00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:05,320 Speaker 6: We walked out with four, but we only paid for one. 282 00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:08,840 Speaker 6: You may think that was good luck. I know that's 283 00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:12,720 Speaker 6: the favor of God. Driving home, I'll reached my hand 284 00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:14,960 Speaker 6: back to my children and said, come on, get some. 285 00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:18,320 Speaker 4: Of this favor off of me. I can't stand at all. 286 00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:23,200 Speaker 6: When you not only recognize you have favor, but you 287 00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:27,400 Speaker 6: declare favor, God will show out in your life. You 288 00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:30,720 Speaker 6: will see things that you don't deserve. If you're in 289 00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:34,200 Speaker 6: real estate, father, thank you that your favor is causing 290 00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:37,640 Speaker 6: my properties to sell. Thank you that favor is bringing 291 00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:42,000 Speaker 6: the right buyers. Before you take the exam at school, father, 292 00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:45,680 Speaker 6: think you that favor is causing me to excel before 293 00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:48,120 Speaker 6: you meet with those new clients. Lord, think you that 294 00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:52,360 Speaker 6: your favor is making me attractive. Well, Joel, God's got 295 00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:55,320 Speaker 6: bigger things to deal with than me getting a cell 296 00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:57,680 Speaker 6: phone or finding a good parking spot. 297 00:15:57,920 --> 00:16:00,560 Speaker 4: Can I tell you you are God's bad It's deal. 298 00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:03,840 Speaker 6: You are the apple of his eye. He wants to 299 00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:08,560 Speaker 6: show you his goodness. That's what favor is. Zachariah said, 300 00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:13,080 Speaker 6: ask for rain in the time of rain. Rain in 301 00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:17,720 Speaker 6: the scripture represents favor. This seems odd. If it's raining, 302 00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:21,120 Speaker 6: why do you need to ask for rain? God was saying, 303 00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:25,160 Speaker 6: just because my favor is available, you're not going to 304 00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:27,120 Speaker 6: experience it unless you. 305 00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:29,560 Speaker 4: Call for it. Unless you declare it. 306 00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:32,520 Speaker 6: You may not be able to see it. But right 307 00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:40,640 Speaker 6: now it's raining. It's raining, healing, raining, freedom, raining, promotion, raining, spouses, raining, 308 00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:45,360 Speaker 6: good breaks, raining, abundance. God is showering his favor like 309 00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:49,960 Speaker 6: never before. My challenge is don't let it pass you by. 310 00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:54,400 Speaker 6: Don't go around just hoping believing. The way you get 311 00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:55,400 Speaker 6: in the rain. 312 00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:56,960 Speaker 4: Is by declaring favor. 313 00:16:57,720 --> 00:17:00,800 Speaker 6: Father, Thank you that your favor is open indoors no 314 00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:04,040 Speaker 6: man can shut. Thank you that your favor is bringing 315 00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:07,600 Speaker 6: good breaks, advantages, preferential treatment. 316 00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:08,800 Speaker 4: Lord, think you that. 317 00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:14,359 Speaker 6: Favor is defeating enemies, turning negative situations around, breaking forces 318 00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:18,240 Speaker 6: that are trying to stop me. Every time you declare favor, 319 00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:19,760 Speaker 6: you're asking for the rain. 320 00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:23,760 Speaker 4: That's what allows God to show out in your life. 321 00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:24,880 Speaker 4: I have these friends. 322 00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:28,840 Speaker 6: Their son played on a minor league baseball team. His dream, 323 00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:30,959 Speaker 6: of course, was to make it to the big leagues. 324 00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:36,119 Speaker 6: He's extremely talented, led the division in hitting for several years, 325 00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:39,040 Speaker 6: but it seemed like every time he was about to 326 00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:42,280 Speaker 6: get promoted to the big leagues, something would come up. 327 00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:45,760 Speaker 6: He would get passed over. His parents told me again 328 00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:49,439 Speaker 6: and again how he was leading the league in home runs, 329 00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:51,840 Speaker 6: how he was having a banner year, but for some 330 00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:56,160 Speaker 6: reason he would get overlooked. They could have been discouraged, 331 00:17:56,440 --> 00:17:59,080 Speaker 6: thought it's not meant to be. But they did what 332 00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:02,600 Speaker 6: I'm asking you to do. They kept declaring the favor 333 00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:06,399 Speaker 6: of God Father. Thank you that your favor is on 334 00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:09,520 Speaker 6: our son. Thank you that favor is putting him at 335 00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:12,439 Speaker 6: the right place. Thank you that your favor is causing 336 00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:16,120 Speaker 6: him to stand out. The team he played for had 337 00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:20,160 Speaker 6: a star player in the major leagues in his same position. 338 00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:23,479 Speaker 6: It looked like that player would be there for years, 339 00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:29,359 Speaker 6: but one day, unexpectedly, the star player requested a trade. 340 00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:32,520 Speaker 6: He was sent to another team. This young man was 341 00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:36,080 Speaker 6: suddenly promoted to the big leagues. He went on to 342 00:18:36,119 --> 00:18:39,760 Speaker 6: live out his dream of playing Major League Baseball. When 343 00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:43,359 Speaker 6: you declare God's favor, he will move people out of 344 00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:44,080 Speaker 6: the way. 345 00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:45,200 Speaker 4: To make room for you. 346 00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:51,320 Speaker 6: Favor will promote you suddenly, unexpectedly, things that you didn't 347 00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:55,080 Speaker 6: see coming. You may not see how you can accomplish 348 00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:57,399 Speaker 6: a dreamer, how you'll get well. 349 00:18:57,960 --> 00:19:00,639 Speaker 4: Doesn't look like it's ever going to change. I have 350 00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:02,520 Speaker 4: good news. It's raining. 351 00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:06,880 Speaker 6: If you'll do your part and keep declaring God's favor. 352 00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:11,080 Speaker 6: Life with my friend, God is going to do something unusual, 353 00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:16,520 Speaker 6: something that you weren't expecting, where suddenly you're promoted, suddenly 354 00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:18,800 Speaker 6: you get well, or suddenly you meet. 355 00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:19,359 Speaker 4: The right person. 356 00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:24,240 Speaker 6: When we acquired this building, we hired architects to draw 357 00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:26,760 Speaker 6: plans to see what it would take to renovate it. 358 00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:29,919 Speaker 6: We had to build our own power plant plus an 359 00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:34,040 Speaker 6: additional five story building. The costs came right at one 360 00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:37,680 Speaker 6: hundred million dollars. We didn't have those kinds of funds, 361 00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:40,080 Speaker 6: so we met with our bank to see what they 362 00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:40,880 Speaker 6: would loan us. 363 00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:44,880 Speaker 4: We had known these bankers for years, way back with 364 00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:45,479 Speaker 4: my father. 365 00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:49,440 Speaker 6: They knew the church's finances and how strong the ministry 366 00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:51,440 Speaker 6: is and the potential for growth. 367 00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:52,520 Speaker 4: We met. 368 00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:55,960 Speaker 6: They were very nice, but they were as negative as 369 00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:59,239 Speaker 6: can be. They told me all the reasons why it 370 00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:02,680 Speaker 6: wasn't going to wor, how they could never take that 371 00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:05,800 Speaker 6: kind of risk of loaning us that money, how every 372 00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:09,199 Speaker 6: bank was going to say no, on and on. I 373 00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:10,760 Speaker 6: left there so discouraged. 374 00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:13,320 Speaker 4: I was young. I didn't know any better. 375 00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:17,800 Speaker 6: I've learned since people don't have the final say. People 376 00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:22,160 Speaker 6: don't control your destiny. People can't see the favor on 377 00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:26,440 Speaker 6: your life. They don't know what God is about to do. 378 00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:29,560 Speaker 6: Don't let them talk you out of your dreams. Don't 379 00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:32,760 Speaker 6: let people convince you that you can't get well. You'll 380 00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:35,840 Speaker 6: never afford a nice house, You'll never break the addiction. 381 00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:40,000 Speaker 6: They're looking at the natural. We serve a supernatural God. 382 00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:45,000 Speaker 6: One touch of his favor will catapault you ahead. They 383 00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:49,520 Speaker 6: may be negative, discouraging, condescending. Let it go in one 384 00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:53,040 Speaker 6: ear and out the other. None of that can stop 385 00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:57,400 Speaker 6: your purpose. The favor on your life will defy the odds. 386 00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:01,200 Speaker 6: Favor will take you where you don't have the qualifications 387 00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:02,439 Speaker 6: on paper. 388 00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:05,399 Speaker 4: It may not make sense. Don't worry. God knows what 389 00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:06,000 Speaker 4: he's doing. 390 00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:09,679 Speaker 6: I woke up the next morning with a fire in 391 00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:15,120 Speaker 6: my spirit. Something on the inside said, Joel, God didn't bring. 392 00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:17,120 Speaker 4: You this far to leave you where you are. 393 00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:20,960 Speaker 6: He didn't move the rockets out of that building, caused 394 00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:23,840 Speaker 6: the mayor to be good to you, change city council 395 00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:27,040 Speaker 6: member's mind, bring you through a lawsuit so you could 396 00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:31,040 Speaker 6: get stuck where you are. I realized the favor of 397 00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:34,359 Speaker 6: God had brought us that far, and the favor of 398 00:21:34,480 --> 00:21:38,280 Speaker 6: God was going to keep us going. Instead of being 399 00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:43,240 Speaker 6: discouraged thinking look how big these obstacles are, my attitude was, look. 400 00:21:43,040 --> 00:21:44,199 Speaker 4: How big my God is. 401 00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:48,199 Speaker 6: Father, Thank you that your favor is bringing the right people, 402 00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:51,439 Speaker 6: people that will get behind the vision. Thank you that 403 00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:54,879 Speaker 6: your favor is making a way where I don't see away. 404 00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:57,760 Speaker 4: We decided to try another bank. 405 00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:02,120 Speaker 6: We had never met these people, never had any contact, 406 00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:06,040 Speaker 6: But when we walked in it was night and day difference. 407 00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:07,879 Speaker 6: From the very beginning. 408 00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:09,000 Speaker 4: They were for us. 409 00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:12,600 Speaker 6: They had a letter on the table offering us a 410 00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:16,000 Speaker 6: loan in the mount three times what the other bank said. 411 00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:19,359 Speaker 6: We had never gat They hadn't even seen our finances, They. 412 00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:20,480 Speaker 4: Never looked at our books. 413 00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:23,760 Speaker 6: When I saw they would loan us that much. I said, 414 00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:26,480 Speaker 6: how about loaning us the whole amount so. 415 00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:28,840 Speaker 4: We can do it all. They said, that won't be 416 00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:30,560 Speaker 4: a problem. We'll make that happen. 417 00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:36,520 Speaker 6: God has these divine connections lined up for you, people 418 00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:39,720 Speaker 6: that will be behind your vision, people that will be 419 00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:43,919 Speaker 6: for you, not people that you have to convince. You 420 00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:46,240 Speaker 6: may not have seen them yet, but they are in 421 00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:50,240 Speaker 6: your future. God has already ordained them to help you. 422 00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:53,560 Speaker 6: The favor on your life is going to close the 423 00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:57,360 Speaker 6: wrong doors, but open the right doors now, Joel, I've 424 00:22:57,400 --> 00:23:00,920 Speaker 6: been declaring favor, but I don't see anything happen. Doesn't 425 00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:04,160 Speaker 6: look like it's ever going to change. First, Peter says, 426 00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:08,479 Speaker 6: hope to the end for the divine favor that is coming. 427 00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:11,720 Speaker 6: You may not have seen it yet, but favor is 428 00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:15,600 Speaker 6: on the way. Healing is on the way, promotion is 429 00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:18,000 Speaker 6: on the way. The right people, they're on the way. 430 00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:20,240 Speaker 4: I met a man a few. 431 00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:23,679 Speaker 6: Years ago that was so discouraged. At one time his 432 00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:28,560 Speaker 6: company was very successful. He's in the design and graphics industry. 433 00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:32,080 Speaker 6: But over the last couple of years his business had 434 00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:32,680 Speaker 6: gone down. 435 00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:36,639 Speaker 4: He'd lost all of his major clients. It looked like 436 00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:38,680 Speaker 4: bankruptcy was inevitable. 437 00:23:39,359 --> 00:23:42,960 Speaker 6: He went on and on telling me about the problem, 438 00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:46,919 Speaker 6: going into great detail of explaining all the setbacks he 439 00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:50,760 Speaker 6: had suffered and how unfair it was. I finally had 440 00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:53,920 Speaker 6: to interrupt him and say, we've talked long enough about 441 00:23:53,920 --> 00:23:57,560 Speaker 6: the problem. Let's start talking about the solution. Let's start 442 00:23:57,560 --> 00:24:00,280 Speaker 6: talking about what God can do. Let's talk of the 443 00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:03,919 Speaker 6: fact that favor is on the way. We prayed together. 444 00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:07,800 Speaker 6: Then I said, there's something you have to do. Every morning. 445 00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:10,840 Speaker 6: You need to declare I have the favor of God. 446 00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:14,879 Speaker 6: Favor is bringing me new clients. Favor is turning my 447 00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:18,199 Speaker 6: business around. Then all through the day, under your breath, 448 00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:21,919 Speaker 6: you keep thanking God for that favor. I saw him 449 00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:23,119 Speaker 6: several months later. 450 00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:26,080 Speaker 4: He was like a new person, beaming with joy. 451 00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:30,080 Speaker 6: He told how at his lowest moment, when he thought 452 00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:34,240 Speaker 6: he was done, a company contacted him that he had 453 00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:37,520 Speaker 6: never worked for and asked him to make a presentation. 454 00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:42,000 Speaker 6: They chose him over several major firms. He said, with 455 00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:45,480 Speaker 6: this one new client, I will have more income than 456 00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:48,879 Speaker 6: all my other clients combined. He's on pace to have 457 00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:53,680 Speaker 6: a record year. And what you're facing may seem impossible. 458 00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:57,680 Speaker 6: Don't talk about the problem, talk about the solution. Talk 459 00:24:57,720 --> 00:25:01,240 Speaker 6: about the fact that favor is on the way. Yes, 460 00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:04,639 Speaker 6: my finances may be low, but I know favor is coming. 461 00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:07,760 Speaker 6: These people at work aren't treating me right. I'm not 462 00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:11,360 Speaker 6: gonna live bitter. I know favor is on the way. Well, 463 00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:14,719 Speaker 6: my child is off course, but I know it's only temporary. 464 00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:18,320 Speaker 6: The favor of God is turning it around. This is 465 00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:21,119 Speaker 6: what a man named Zaruba Belt did in the scripture. 466 00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:24,960 Speaker 6: He was in charge of rebuilding the temple, but everything 467 00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:28,720 Speaker 6: came against him. City leaders hired attorneys to try to 468 00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:32,400 Speaker 6: stop him. Wouldn't give him the permits. Other people were 469 00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:33,960 Speaker 6: causing strife and trouble. 470 00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:37,200 Speaker 4: Looked impossible. He could have been discouraged. 471 00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:41,840 Speaker 6: He said, who are you, o, great mountain that stands 472 00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:45,959 Speaker 6: before me. You shall become a mere mole hill. I 473 00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:50,320 Speaker 6: will finish the temple by shouting grace to it. He 474 00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:53,520 Speaker 6: was saying, I have this big mountain in front of me, 475 00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:55,080 Speaker 6: but I'm not worried. 476 00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:59,040 Speaker 4: I know it's about to become a mole hill. How 477 00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:01,360 Speaker 4: was this going to happen? What was his secret? 478 00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:06,600 Speaker 6: By speaking grace to it? Another word for grace is favor. 479 00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:10,879 Speaker 6: He was saying, yes, this obstacle is big, but I 480 00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:14,640 Speaker 6: have the favor of God. Favor is making my crooked 481 00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:18,960 Speaker 6: places straight. Favor is defeating my enemies. Favor is going 482 00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:22,880 Speaker 6: to help me finish this project. He didn't talk about 483 00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:27,360 Speaker 6: his mountain. He talked to his mountain. When you face challenges, 484 00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:31,040 Speaker 6: don't get discouraged. Speak favor over them. Look at your 485 00:26:31,080 --> 00:26:34,399 Speaker 6: bank account and speak favor to it. I will lend 486 00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:35,359 Speaker 6: and not borrow. 487 00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:39,160 Speaker 4: What I touch will prosper and succeed. Speak favor over 488 00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:39,760 Speaker 4: your health. 489 00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:43,440 Speaker 6: This sickness is not the end. This pain is not permanent. 490 00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:48,000 Speaker 6: The favor of God is bringing healing. Speak favor over 491 00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:49,080 Speaker 6: the legal situation. 492 00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:51,280 Speaker 4: I will be victorious. 493 00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:54,960 Speaker 6: The favor of God is keeping my enemies from defeating me. 494 00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:58,000 Speaker 6: It's not enough to just pray about it.
