I 8 00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:26,880 Speaker 1: promise you we will make you feel right at home. 9 00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:29,920 Speaker 1: I like to start with something funny, and I heard 10 00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:33,800 Speaker 1: about this man. He was on vacation in Jerusalem with 11 00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:37,640 Speaker 1: his family when his mother in law suddenly died. He 12 00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:40,360 Speaker 1: went to make arrangements to get her body back home. 13 00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:44,040 Speaker 1: The consulate said it would cost five thousand dollars to 14 00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:46,599 Speaker 1: have her shift, but he could have her buried right 15 00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:49,720 Speaker 1: there in Jerusalem for just one hundred and fifty dollars. 16 00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:52,320 Speaker 1: The man thought about it a moment, said no, I'd 17 00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:55,080 Speaker 1: like to have her shift. The consulate said, wow, you 18 00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:57,880 Speaker 1: must have really loved your mother in law. He said, no, 19 00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:00,920 Speaker 1: it's not so much that. I just remember a case 20 00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:04,200 Speaker 1: here years ago where they buried somebody and on the 21 00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:09,000 Speaker 1: third day they rose I can't take that chance. All right, 22 00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:12,000 Speaker 1: I have a great mother in law. Come on, let's 23 00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:15,560 Speaker 1: say it together. This is my Bible. I am what 24 00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:18,160 Speaker 1: it says I am. I have what it says I have. 25 00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:21,240 Speaker 1: I can do what it says I can do. Today 26 00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:24,679 Speaker 1: I will be taught the word of God. I boldly confess. 27 00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:28,520 Speaker 1: My mind is alert, my heart is receptive. I will 28 00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:32,240 Speaker 1: never be the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you. 29 00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:36,160 Speaker 1: I want to talk to you today about more than enough. 30 00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:40,959 Speaker 1: We're not supposed to go through life constantly struggling, not 31 00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:43,920 Speaker 1: able to fulfill our dreams, or not able to be 32 00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:48,120 Speaker 1: a blessing to anyone else. Lack is not your destiny. 33 00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:52,640 Speaker 1: You were created to live an abundant life. But if 34 00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:56,080 Speaker 1: you've struggled for a long time, it's easy to develop 35 00:01:56,160 --> 00:02:00,720 Speaker 1: a scarcity mentality, thinking I'll never be able to afford 36 00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:03,880 Speaker 1: a nice house, I'll never have the funds to really 37 00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:07,880 Speaker 1: bless my family. But as long as you think not enough, 38 00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:11,720 Speaker 1: you'll never have more than enough. You have to get 39 00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:17,560 Speaker 1: rid of that scarcity mentality and start having an abundant mentality. 40 00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:21,360 Speaker 1: God has ways to increase you that you've never thought of. 41 00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:26,480 Speaker 1: He's not limited by your job, by your education, or 42 00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:29,480 Speaker 1: by the family you were raised in. If you'll take 43 00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:33,320 Speaker 1: the limits off of him, God will bless you beyond 44 00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:38,320 Speaker 1: your normal income, beyond your salary, beyond what anyone in 45 00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:41,400 Speaker 1: your family has seen. I talked to a gentleman the 46 00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:45,400 Speaker 1: other day. He volunteers at Lakewood and he works in cells. 47 00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:49,080 Speaker 1: One of his clients called and said that their boss 48 00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:51,880 Speaker 1: wanted to speak with him. At first, he was kind 49 00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:55,400 Speaker 1: of alarmed, thought something might be wrong. But this boss 50 00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:58,680 Speaker 1: was so impressed with his work. He wanted to see 51 00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:02,040 Speaker 1: if he would come and run his whole sales department. 52 00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:05,760 Speaker 1: It was a huge promotion. The boss said, if you'll 53 00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:10,160 Speaker 1: take the position, then I'll give you ownership in this company. 54 00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:13,600 Speaker 1: He said, Joe, I didn't see this coming. I never 55 00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:16,760 Speaker 1: dreamed I would be this blessed. He went from working 56 00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:20,720 Speaker 1: at a company to owning part of a company. You 57 00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:24,440 Speaker 1: don't know what God has in store for you. You don't 58 00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:29,040 Speaker 1: know the promotions, the opportunities, the favor that He's already 59 00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:33,359 Speaker 1: ordained to come across your path. Psalm thirty five says 60 00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:38,000 Speaker 1: God takes pleasure in prospering you. It brings a smile 61 00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:41,520 Speaker 1: to God's face. To make things happen that amaze you. 62 00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:45,800 Speaker 1: As a parent. When you do something special for your child, 63 00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:49,320 Speaker 1: something out of the ordinary that they weren't expecting, you 64 00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:52,680 Speaker 1: know how that brings you joy, makes you feel good. 65 00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:56,680 Speaker 1: It's the same way with our heavenly Father. It gives 66 00:03:56,760 --> 00:04:00,720 Speaker 1: him pleasure to see you blessed. May not see how 67 00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:04,520 Speaker 1: this can happen, But the scripture says God will supply 68 00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:09,320 Speaker 1: all of our needs according to his riches. It doesn't 69 00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:13,800 Speaker 1: say according to your job, according to your talent, if 70 00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:17,000 Speaker 1: the boss likes you, if the economy's up, if you 71 00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:20,600 Speaker 1: have the right friends. It's not according to what you have, 72 00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:24,159 Speaker 1: it's according to what he has. The good news is 73 00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:27,440 Speaker 1: God owns it all. He makes streets out of God. 74 00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:31,200 Speaker 1: If he doesn't have what you need, he can create it. 75 00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:36,280 Speaker 1: He speaks and worlds come into existence. In the scripture, 76 00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:39,720 Speaker 1: a young lady named Ruth was barely making it. Her 77 00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:42,640 Speaker 1: husband had died and she was living with her mother 78 00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:46,440 Speaker 1: in law in a foreign country. She had no income, 79 00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:51,640 Speaker 1: nobody to help them. All the circumstances said she was stuck. 80 00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:55,320 Speaker 1: This was her destiny, a life of struggle and lack. 81 00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:59,360 Speaker 1: But just because you don't see a way doesn't mean 82 00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:03,919 Speaker 1: God doesn't have a way. Your circumstances may look permanent, 83 00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:07,880 Speaker 1: but you can't see what God is doing behind the scenes. 84 00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:11,640 Speaker 1: He's already spoken to the right people to help you. 85 00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:16,479 Speaker 1: He's already lined up good breaks, promotion that you don't 86 00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:21,800 Speaker 1: see coming. It's going to happen unexpectedly, out of the ordinary. 87 00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:24,400 Speaker 1: You're not going to have to go after it. It's 88 00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:27,800 Speaker 1: going to come after you. The scripture says when you 89 00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:31,799 Speaker 1: keep God first place, his blessings will chase you down. 90 00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:37,120 Speaker 1: One translation says they will catch you by surprise. God 91 00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:40,800 Speaker 1: is going to surprise you. He's going to open doors 92 00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:44,200 Speaker 1: bigger than you've imagined. He's going to bring people that 93 00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:48,799 Speaker 1: will use their influence, their platform to push you further along. 94 00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:52,640 Speaker 1: It's going to be uncommon, unusual. You're going to know 95 00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:56,080 Speaker 1: it was the hand of God. It's like this building, 96 00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:59,560 Speaker 1: the former Compact Center. I never dreamed one day we'd 97 00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:03,039 Speaker 1: own it, never dreamed we'd be having church here. This 98 00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:07,039 Speaker 1: is one of those surprises that chased us down. We 99 00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:10,760 Speaker 1: couldn't have made this happen our strength, our ability. It 100 00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:14,920 Speaker 1: was the goodness of God. God's dream for your life 101 00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:18,800 Speaker 1: is much bigger than your own. What God has in 102 00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:22,920 Speaker 1: your future is going to boggle your mind. The places 103 00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:25,880 Speaker 1: He's going to take you, the people you're going to meet, 104 00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:30,240 Speaker 1: the levels you're going to reach, Paul said in Corinthians, 105 00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:35,240 Speaker 1: no person has seen, heard, or imagined what God has 106 00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:38,800 Speaker 1: in store for those that love the Lord. You may 107 00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:42,280 Speaker 1: think you've reached your limits. God is saying you better 108 00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:46,000 Speaker 1: think again. You haven't seen anything yet. I'm about to 109 00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:50,160 Speaker 1: bring you into overflow, into abundance, into more than enough. 110 00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:55,640 Speaker 1: Whatever level you're at, get ready, another level is coming. 111 00:06:56,080 --> 00:07:00,080 Speaker 1: What you haven't seen or imagined is on the way. 112 00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:03,800 Speaker 1: Ruth would go out into the fields every morning and 113 00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:07,200 Speaker 1: pick up the leftover wheat that the workers had missed. 114 00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:10,640 Speaker 1: They were living off a leftover. She and her mother 115 00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:15,200 Speaker 1: in law were barely surviving. I'm sure they weren't thinking 116 00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:19,640 Speaker 1: about abundance. Nothing in their circumstances said they would ever 117 00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:23,200 Speaker 1: have more than a night. If Ruth heard this message, 118 00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:26,560 Speaker 1: she said, not me, Joel, it's impossible. All the odds 119 00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:29,600 Speaker 1: are against me. But Ruth didn't know what God was 120 00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:34,240 Speaker 1: up to. Your circumstances may be against you, but the 121 00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:38,840 Speaker 1: most high God is for you. He's called Jehovah. Jawrah, 122 00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:43,400 Speaker 1: the Lord, our provider. He said you will lend and 123 00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:47,560 Speaker 1: not borrow. He says you are above and not beneath. 124 00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:52,280 Speaker 1: You may not be there yet, but God is not finished. 125 00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:57,000 Speaker 1: He's working behind the seams. Things are happening that you 126 00:07:57,080 --> 00:08:01,080 Speaker 1: cannot see. Keep being faithful, keep doing the right thing, 127 00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:05,360 Speaker 1: Keep going to work with a good attitude. Joe, nobody 128 00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:08,280 Speaker 1: gives me credit at the office. I'll never be promoted. 129 00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:11,880 Speaker 1: You are not working under people, you are working under God. 130 00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:16,080 Speaker 1: Your job is not your source. God is your source. 131 00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:20,400 Speaker 1: I can assure you. God is keeping the records. Your 132 00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:25,120 Speaker 1: time is coming. Ruth was faithful. She'd been through loss 133 00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:29,160 Speaker 1: in a foreign country, no income. Yet you never read 134 00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:33,160 Speaker 1: where Ruth complained. She didn't get bitter, She didn't give 135 00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:36,440 Speaker 1: up on life. She kept doing the right thing, being 136 00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:39,400 Speaker 1: her best, taking care of her mother in law, going 137 00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:43,000 Speaker 1: out every day, gathering up the food. She could have thought, God, 138 00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:45,840 Speaker 1: I'm made for more than this. I'm not gonna go 139 00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:50,880 Speaker 1: pick up leftover wheat that's beneath me. Ruth passed the 140 00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:55,240 Speaker 1: test in the small things. Before God can trust you 141 00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:58,320 Speaker 1: with much, you have to prove to him you'll be 142 00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:03,360 Speaker 1: faithful with little. Don't discount where you are. If you 143 00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:06,200 Speaker 1: don't take care of that old car, why should God 144 00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:09,199 Speaker 1: bless you with a new one? If you complain about 145 00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:12,040 Speaker 1: that apartment, why should God bless you with the house. 146 00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:15,120 Speaker 1: If you're not faithful at the job where you are now, 147 00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:18,160 Speaker 1: why should God bless you with your own business? Past 148 00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:21,880 Speaker 1: the small test? One day, while Ruth was out working 149 00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:25,760 Speaker 1: in the fields, God spoke to Boaz, the owner of 150 00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:28,720 Speaker 1: those fields, and told him to be good to Ruth. 151 00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:33,000 Speaker 1: He had his workers leave wheat on the ground on 152 00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:36,160 Speaker 1: purpose for Ruth. Now, when she went out, she had 153 00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:39,280 Speaker 1: more than enough. She gathered it in a fraction of 154 00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:42,880 Speaker 1: the time. When she went home, I can imagine her 155 00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:46,040 Speaker 1: mother in law said, Ruth, what in the world happened? 156 00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:48,480 Speaker 1: Did you win the lottery? How did you get so 157 00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:52,400 Speaker 1: much wheat in so little time? Ruth had no explanation, 158 00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:55,800 Speaker 1: She said, I don't know how it happened. For some reason, 159 00:09:56,080 --> 00:10:01,160 Speaker 1: these workers left all this extra wheat. That was God's say, surprise, 160 00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:04,640 Speaker 1: here's a blessing you're not going to have to work for. 161 00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:07,680 Speaker 1: It's going to come to you. You just show up 162 00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:11,120 Speaker 1: and it'll be waiting for you. God has some of 163 00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:14,680 Speaker 1: these blessings in store for you. You're not going to 164 00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:17,800 Speaker 1: have to make it happen. You just keep being faithful, 165 00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:21,880 Speaker 1: keep doing the right thing, and suddenly there's more than enough. 166 00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:27,080 Speaker 1: Suddenly the compact center, suddenly, ownership in a company, Suddenly 167 00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:30,360 Speaker 1: the house falls into your hands. You can't explain it. 168 00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:34,240 Speaker 1: You didn't see it coming. What happened. God surprised you. 169 00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:39,080 Speaker 1: One of his blessings chased you down. What's interesting is 170 00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:42,760 Speaker 1: God spoke to Boaz to be good to Ruth, but 171 00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:45,720 Speaker 1: Ruth didn't know about it. God didn't tell her I'm 172 00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:47,559 Speaker 1: going to speak to this man and he's going to 173 00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:51,679 Speaker 1: bless you. All Ruth knew was suddenly her life became 174 00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:55,160 Speaker 1: much easier. Suddenly there was an abundance of wheat on 175 00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:59,480 Speaker 1: the ground. You don't know who God has already spoken 176 00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:04,000 Speaker 1: to you. There are people God has already lined up 177 00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:07,400 Speaker 1: to leave wheat on the ground for you, people that 178 00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:10,440 Speaker 1: will cause things to happen that you had nothing to 179 00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:13,520 Speaker 1: do with. But suddenly you'll go to a new level. 180 00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:18,480 Speaker 1: Suddenly you'll come into more than enough. You can't explain it, 181 00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:21,560 Speaker 1: you can't take credit for it. There was nothing in 182 00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:24,640 Speaker 1: your circumstances that said it was going to happen. That 183 00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:29,880 Speaker 1: was God simply taking pleasure in prospering you, God showing 184 00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:33,520 Speaker 1: his favor on you, causing you to stand out. The 185 00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:36,520 Speaker 1: story could end here, and it would be a happy ending. 186 00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:40,079 Speaker 1: Ruth and her mother in law had plenty, but God 187 00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:45,880 Speaker 1: likes to exceed our expectations. Boaz fell in love with Ruth. 188 00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:49,920 Speaker 1: They ended up getting married. Now, instead of working in 189 00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:53,920 Speaker 1: those fields, Ruth owned the fields. She never had to 190 00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:57,200 Speaker 1: go out and pick up wheat like that again. She 191 00:11:57,360 --> 00:12:02,440 Speaker 1: came into a new level abundance overflow. Those workers she 192 00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:05,480 Speaker 1: used to fall behind, now they all worked for her. 193 00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:09,520 Speaker 1: She went from the tail to the head, from borrowing 194 00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:12,560 Speaker 1: to lending, from being in like to heaven more than 195 00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:15,920 Speaker 1: an eye. If Ruth were here today, she would tell 196 00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:19,760 Speaker 1: you it may look impossible, the odds may be against you, 197 00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:23,560 Speaker 1: but stay in faith. You don't know who God is 198 00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:27,880 Speaker 1: whispering to right now about you. You don't know who's 199 00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:30,160 Speaker 1: going to open a door for you for no reason. 200 00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:33,560 Speaker 1: You don't know who's about to show you favor that 201 00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:38,280 Speaker 1: you didn't see coming. But sometimes religion tries to make 202 00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:41,280 Speaker 1: us feel like we're not supposed to be blessed, we're 203 00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:45,240 Speaker 1: not supposed to have resources. But the scripture says that 204 00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:49,040 Speaker 1: Job was the wealthiest man in the East. He was 205 00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:54,600 Speaker 1: very blessed with resources, livestock, a successful business. God said 206 00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:59,280 Speaker 1: about Job, there was no better man than him. David 207 00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:02,480 Speaker 1: left an inn herodance to his son Solomon to build 208 00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:05,920 Speaker 1: the temple that some scholars say would be over a 209 00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:10,240 Speaker 1: billion dollars today. David's called a man after God's own heart. 210 00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:14,400 Speaker 1: Abraham is the father of our faith. He's the one 211 00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:18,120 Speaker 1: God chose to start the New Covenant. He too, was 212 00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:21,959 Speaker 1: very wealthy in cattle, sheep, gold, silver. What am I saying? 213 00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:26,400 Speaker 1: God has no problem with you having money as long 214 00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:31,079 Speaker 1: as money doesn't have you. Money should not be our goal. 215 00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:35,720 Speaker 1: Fulfilling our destiny should be our goal. Money is simply 216 00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:39,800 Speaker 1: a tool. Money can send your children to college. Money 217 00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:42,800 Speaker 1: can help you accomplish your dreams. Money can renovate a 218 00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:46,640 Speaker 1: compact center. Money can build an orphanage. Money is not 219 00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:50,920 Speaker 1: a problem. It's the love of money that's the problem. 220 00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:54,400 Speaker 1: If you make money your gold and you only focus 221 00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:57,320 Speaker 1: on yourself and live to show off what you have, 222 00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:01,160 Speaker 1: life is not going to be very fulfilling. There are 223 00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:04,560 Speaker 1: some things that money can't buy. Money can't buy peace. 224 00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:09,040 Speaker 1: Money can't buy good relationships. Money can't buy health. I 225 00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:12,800 Speaker 1: know some very wealthy people that are not well. Money 226 00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:16,120 Speaker 1: shouldn't be our focus, but the fact is, it takes 227 00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:20,520 Speaker 1: money to fulfill dreams. Now, don't let a religious spirit 228 00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:25,840 Speaker 1: convince you that you're not supposed to have anything. Constantly struggling, 229 00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:29,560 Speaker 1: being overwhelmed by debt, not able to pay your bills 230 00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:34,320 Speaker 1: is not God's best. Jesus did not come and give 231 00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:37,560 Speaker 1: his life so that we could barely get by and 232 00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:40,960 Speaker 1: live off of leftovers. He came that we might live 233 00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:47,880 Speaker 1: an abundant life. Abundant means plenty, plenty of joy, plenty 234 00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:51,720 Speaker 1: of good health, plenty of strength, plenty of opportunities, plenty 235 00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:55,280 Speaker 1: of creativity, plenty of courage. God wants you to be 236 00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:59,280 Speaker 1: so blessed that you have to choose which opportunities you take. 237 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:03,960 Speaker 1: You have to choose which contracts you accept. David said, 238 00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:07,840 Speaker 1: my cup runs over. Running over means you have so 239 00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:11,320 Speaker 1: much you can't contain it all. I would love to 240 00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:15,240 Speaker 1: take that contract, but I'm so full, I'm so blessed, 241 00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:18,520 Speaker 1: I'll have to pass so I can take this better opportunity. 242 00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:22,120 Speaker 1: I'm j all, this sounds good. But I don't see 243 00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:25,040 Speaker 1: how it can happen for me. It seems far out? 244 00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:28,640 Speaker 1: Can I tell you? We serve a far out God 245 00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:34,200 Speaker 1: and exceeding abundantly above and beyond God. That's why he 246 00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:36,920 Speaker 1: has you hearing this. He wants you to get rid 247 00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:41,240 Speaker 1: of that scarcity mentality and start having an abundant mentality. 248 00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:44,600 Speaker 1: A couple of years after Victoria and I were married, 249 00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:48,480 Speaker 1: one evening we were walking through a nice neighborhood not 250 00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:51,640 Speaker 1: too far from our townhouse. There was a big, two 251 00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:56,080 Speaker 1: story house being built. It was almost finished. Nobody was there, 252 00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:59,920 Speaker 1: so we went in to look around. It had big window, 253 00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:07,040 Speaker 1: a spacious entryway with a curved staircase, vaulted ceilings, great backyard. 254 00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:11,800 Speaker 1: It was so beautiful. As we were walking out, Victoria said, Joel, 255 00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:14,480 Speaker 1: one day we're going to live in a house just 256 00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:17,400 Speaker 1: like this one. She might as well have said, one 257 00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:19,960 Speaker 1: day we're going to go to the moon. That was 258 00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:24,520 Speaker 1: so far beyond anything I could imagine. Being the great 259 00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:26,920 Speaker 1: man of faith that I am, I went on to 260 00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:29,840 Speaker 1: tell her all the reasons why it wasn't going to happen. 261 00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:34,000 Speaker 1: I said, Victoria, are you kidding? I work for a ministry. 262 00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:37,160 Speaker 1: We'll never have that kind of income. We could save 263 00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:39,960 Speaker 1: up for thirty years and we still won't have enough. 264 00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:42,960 Speaker 1: I did my best to talk her out of it, 265 00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:47,080 Speaker 1: but she acted like she didn't even hear me. She said, no, Joel, 266 00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:50,120 Speaker 1: I'm telling you, one day it's going to happen. A 267 00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:53,920 Speaker 1: few months later, we sold our townhouse and bought this 268 00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:58,640 Speaker 1: old Rundown house, very dilapidated, but it was on a 269 00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:02,160 Speaker 1: big lot close end to the city. The day we 270 00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:05,439 Speaker 1: closed on the property, a realtor pulled up while we 271 00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:07,719 Speaker 1: were standing in the front yard. We didn't know the lady. 272 00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:10,359 Speaker 1: She said, would you like to sell the house? I 273 00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:14,240 Speaker 1: said no, we just purchased it. She said, congratulations, you 274 00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:17,960 Speaker 1: just bought your dream house. What she talking about? She 275 00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:21,840 Speaker 1: explained how the neighborhood was in the process of changing 276 00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:25,640 Speaker 1: the deed restrictions to where you could subdivide the lots. 277 00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:29,639 Speaker 1: A year later, we sold half of the property for 278 00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:32,720 Speaker 1: more than we paid for the whole thing. Two years 279 00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:36,159 Speaker 1: after that, we were living in one of those houses, 280 00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:40,000 Speaker 1: just like we'd seen that night. Like with Ruth. It 281 00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:43,320 Speaker 1: was as if God had somebody leave wheat on the 282 00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:46,719 Speaker 1: ground on purpose for us. We didn't know they were 283 00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:51,160 Speaker 1: going to change the deed restrictions. But God has an advantage. 284 00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:55,119 Speaker 1: He can see what's happening behind the scenes. He knows 285 00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:58,840 Speaker 1: things that you could never know. The scripture says God 286 00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:03,399 Speaker 1: knows where they hit and riches are. He has inside information. 287 00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:07,560 Speaker 1: When you honor him, he will lead you into blessings 288 00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:12,879 Speaker 1: that you didn't see coming. Favor promotion, opportunities that surprises you. 289 00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:15,760 Speaker 1: It takes you to a level that you didn't think 290 00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:18,960 Speaker 1: you could reach. When we moved into that new house, 291 00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:23,320 Speaker 1: I carried Victoria over the threshold, said, welcome to this house. 292 00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:28,240 Speaker 1: I always believe for she barely even let me live there. 293 00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:33,080 Speaker 1: Are you doing like I did, talking yourself out of 294 00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:35,879 Speaker 1: what God put in your heart, thinking it's too big, 295 00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:38,560 Speaker 1: too much. You don't have the funds, you don't have 296 00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:43,160 Speaker 1: the experience. You may not, but God does. He wouldn't 297 00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:45,800 Speaker 1: have given you the dream if he didn't have a way. 298 00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:50,119 Speaker 1: Why don't you get in agreement with God? He takes 299 00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:53,560 Speaker 1: pleasure in prospering you. He wants to take you further 300 00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:58,439 Speaker 1: than you've imagined. When we needed a larger auditorium, the 301 00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:02,640 Speaker 1: Compact Center came across are path, those same thoughts came 302 00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:05,760 Speaker 1: to my mind. Just like with the house, Joe, you'll 303 00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:08,640 Speaker 1: never get that building. You're wasting your time. You don't 304 00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:12,240 Speaker 1: have a chance. This time something was different. I had 305 00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:15,760 Speaker 1: learned my lesson. I said, no thanks, I'm in agreement 306 00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:20,000 Speaker 1: with God. It's bigger than I've imagined. It looks impossible, 307 00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:24,000 Speaker 1: but I know God can do the impossible. All along 308 00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:26,879 Speaker 1: the way we saw the hand of God. He brought 309 00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:31,120 Speaker 1: the right people to help us. He changed city council members' minds. 310 00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:34,000 Speaker 1: We sold a piece of property at just the right 311 00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:37,520 Speaker 1: time to make a critical payment. I thought we'd have 312 00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:41,639 Speaker 1: to build an auditorium, but God said, surprise, I have 313 00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:45,520 Speaker 1: an auditorium already built, right on the main freeway. When 314 00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:48,640 Speaker 1: you look around, you are looking at the goodness of God. 315 00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:52,320 Speaker 1: You are looking at abundance. You are looking at more 316 00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:55,439 Speaker 1: than enough. In the scripture, there was a king of 317 00:19:55,520 --> 00:20:00,240 Speaker 1: Judah named AHAs. He had no regard for God. Those 318 00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:03,760 Speaker 1: down the temple and sold the sacred treasures. He set 319 00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:07,200 Speaker 1: up idols for the people to worship. Five armies came 320 00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:11,560 Speaker 1: against him. Every time he lost. The nation was decimated. 321 00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:15,440 Speaker 1: The people were very poor and struggling to survive. King 322 00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:18,080 Speaker 1: a has died at the age of thirty six, and 323 00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:21,480 Speaker 1: was so disliked he wasn't buried with the other kings. 324 00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:26,560 Speaker 1: His son, Hezekiah took over. He had been raised in dysfunction. 325 00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:31,080 Speaker 1: He'd seen his father compromise and take the easy way out. 326 00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:35,240 Speaker 1: But Hezekiah didn't follow in his father's shoes. He was 327 00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:38,600 Speaker 1: just the opposite. The first thing he did was to 328 00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:43,000 Speaker 1: reopen the temple. He tore down the idols. He brought 329 00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:46,840 Speaker 1: the people back to worshiping God. The whole nation began 330 00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:51,080 Speaker 1: to flourish. They saw God's blessings in favor. The scripture 331 00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:56,240 Speaker 1: says Hezekiah was very wealthy and held in high esteem. 332 00:20:56,840 --> 00:21:01,520 Speaker 1: He had to build special treasury buildings to hold his gold, silver, 333 00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:06,600 Speaker 1: and special treasures. He constructed many storehouses for his grain, 334 00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:11,000 Speaker 1: for the Lord had given him great wealth. Notice where 335 00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:14,680 Speaker 1: the wealth came from The Lord God increased him. Here's 336 00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:19,240 Speaker 1: my question. Why was Hezekiah so blessed yet his father 337 00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:25,000 Speaker 1: died in disgrace poor defeated. His father didn't honor God. 338 00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:29,000 Speaker 1: When you put God first place, there is a blessing 339 00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:32,840 Speaker 1: on your life that causes you to prosper, a favor 340 00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:37,240 Speaker 1: that causes you to rise higher, to accomplish things beyond 341 00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:41,919 Speaker 1: your own ability. Proverb says, when you fear the Lord, 342 00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:45,359 Speaker 1: that doesn't mean be afraid. That means you reverence him. 343 00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:49,119 Speaker 1: You ask him for guidance, you trust him with your dreams. 344 00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:51,920 Speaker 1: You do your best to walk in his ways. When 345 00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:55,680 Speaker 1: you do this, it says you will have honor, wealth 346 00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:59,720 Speaker 1: and a long life. I believe one reason God is 347 00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:03,320 Speaker 1: bless me more than I can imagine. It's not because 348 00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:06,720 Speaker 1: I'm perfect, not because I don't have weaknesses. But I've 349 00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:10,199 Speaker 1: done my best to honor God. I learned from the 350 00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:13,280 Speaker 1: time I was a little boy to keep God first place, 351 00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:16,880 Speaker 1: to make pleasing Him my aim in life. To always 352 00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:20,480 Speaker 1: hunger and thirst after righteousness. That means to strive to 353 00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:24,000 Speaker 1: do the right thing, to treat people with respect, to 354 00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:27,800 Speaker 1: be a person of excellence and integrity. When you reverence 355 00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:32,960 Speaker 1: the Lord, God promises you honor, wealth and a long life. 356 00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:37,160 Speaker 1: One way we reverence God is by bringing the tithe, 357 00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:40,560 Speaker 1: the first ten percent of our income, to the House 358 00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:44,040 Speaker 1: of the Lord. When we do that, it says in Malachi, 359 00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:47,920 Speaker 1: God will open the windows of heaven and pour out 360 00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:52,720 Speaker 1: a blessing too great to contain. This is what happened 361 00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:56,800 Speaker 1: with Hezekiah, he had to build buildings to hold all 362 00:22:56,800 --> 00:23:00,320 Speaker 1: the blessings that God gave him. Make sure you're doing 363 00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:04,080 Speaker 1: your part, and God has promised he will pour out 364 00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:09,040 Speaker 1: blessings you cannot contain blessings that will take you into overflow. 365 00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:13,280 Speaker 1: We see this in Luke chapter five. Jesus was teaching 366 00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:16,080 Speaker 1: on the shore of Galilee, and it was so crowded. 367 00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:19,440 Speaker 1: He asked Peter if he could borrow his boat. They 368 00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:23,840 Speaker 1: had never met before, but Peter agreed. When Jesus finished teaching, 369 00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:27,280 Speaker 1: he told Peter to launch out into the deep and 370 00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:30,400 Speaker 1: he would catch a great amount of fish. There were 371 00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:33,680 Speaker 1: no fish there a little earlier, but Peter went back 372 00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:36,920 Speaker 1: out and caught so many fish that his net began 373 00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:41,480 Speaker 1: to break overflow abundance. He had to call other boats 374 00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:43,880 Speaker 1: to help him get the fish back to the shore. 375 00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:48,359 Speaker 1: Here's the principle. A few hours earlier, Peter had fished 376 00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:52,399 Speaker 1: all night and caught nothing. But when he honored Jesus 377 00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:55,480 Speaker 1: by letting him use his boat, when he put God 378 00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:59,840 Speaker 1: first place. Now, instead of dealing with no fish, instead 379 00:23:59,840 --> 00:24:04,000 Speaker 1: of being in lack struggling, his focus has gone from 380 00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:06,960 Speaker 1: not having enough to how is he going to get 381 00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:09,320 Speaker 1: all the fish back to the shore. How is he 382 00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:13,280 Speaker 1: going to manage all the profits? That's God's dream to 383 00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:18,160 Speaker 1: pour out blessings you cannot contain. So instead of living worried, 384 00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:20,840 Speaker 1: wondering if you're gonna make it, wonder if there's going 385 00:24:20,920 --> 00:24:24,439 Speaker 1: to be enough, you spend that same energy trying to 386 00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:28,080 Speaker 1: figure out how you're going to invest the increase, how 387 00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:30,359 Speaker 1: you're going to be a good steward with what God 388 00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:33,400 Speaker 1: has blessed you with it all starts but keeping God 389 00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:40,320 Speaker 1: first place. The Israelites had been in slavery four hundred years, struggle, lack, mistreated. 390 00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:44,679 Speaker 1: They had no resources, no money, just the opposite of abundance. 391 00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:49,280 Speaker 1: And yes, we all go through seasons of struggle, seasons 392 00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:52,439 Speaker 1: where we're not seeing increase. You may be there now, 393 00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:56,440 Speaker 1: but that is not how your story ends. Don't give 394 00:24:56,560 --> 00:25:00,320 Speaker 1: up in the middle. Something is coming. God is a 395 00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:03,880 Speaker 1: god of justice. He's not only going to bring you out, 396 00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:06,399 Speaker 1: He's going to make up for what you've been through. 397 00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:12,040 Speaker 1: Psalm one five says God brought the Israelites safely out 398 00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:16,520 Speaker 1: of Egypt loaded with silver and gold. They didn't come 399 00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:19,920 Speaker 1: out of that injustice empty handed. They came out loaded. 400 00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:23,800 Speaker 1: That's what God wants for you. Not to be loaded 401 00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:29,800 Speaker 1: with burdens, debt, depression, sicknesses, but loaded with blessings, loaded 402 00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:34,000 Speaker 1: with resources, loaded with joy. When we were little children, 403 00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:37,400 Speaker 1: we would see someone we thought was well off, we'd say, man, 404 00:25:37,440 --> 00:25:41,119 Speaker 1: look at them, they're loaded. When I look at you today, 405 00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:46,119 Speaker 1: I see loaded people, loaded with favor, loaded with good breaks, 406 00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:51,960 Speaker 1: loaded with creativity. Now do your part. Keep God first place, 407 00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:56,240 Speaker 1: take the limits off of him, and have this abundant mentality. 408 00:25:56,640 --> 00:26:00,600 Speaker 1: If you'll do this, I believe and declare the increase 409 00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:04,600 Speaker 1: is coming in ways bigger than you've ever imagined. God 410 00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:07,399 Speaker 1: is going to open doors you never dreamed would open. 411 00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:11,720 Speaker 1: Because you reverence him. You're going to have honor, wealth 412 00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:17,880 Speaker 1: and a long, blessed, abundant, favor filled life in Jesus' name. 413 00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:20,639 Speaker 1: And if you receive it, can't you say amen? Today? 414 00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:25,400 Speaker 1: I'd like to give you an opportunity to make Jesus 415 00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:27,760 Speaker 1: the lord of your life. Would you pray with me? 416 00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:34,320 Speaker 1: Just say, Lord, Jesus, I repent of my sins. Come 417 00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:40,000 Speaker 1: into my heart. I make you my lord and savior. Friend. 418 00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:42,520 Speaker 1: If you prayed that simple prayer, we believe you got 419 00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:45,760 Speaker 1: born again. Get in a good Bible based church and 420 00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:47,359 Speaker 1: keep God first place. 421 00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:53,600 Speaker 2: Sometimes the circumstances of life can be overwhelmingly negative. What 422 00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:56,480 Speaker 2: should we do when we experience these kinds of negative 423 00:26:56,520 --> 00:26:57,800 Speaker 2: reports and realities. 424 00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:03,000 Speaker 1: Our life is like a container. It can only hold 425 00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:07,280 Speaker 1: so much. When we allow negative things in, like worry, guilt, 426 00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:11,000 Speaker 1: and unforgiveness. That's taking up space for the good things 427 00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:13,639 Speaker 1: that belong to you. That's why I wrote my book, 428 00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:16,160 Speaker 1: Empty Out the Negative. I'll show you how to get 429 00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:19,360 Speaker 1: rid of what's limiting you so you can live a victorious, 430 00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:20,360 Speaker 1: fulfilled life. 431 00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:23,840 Speaker 3: When you make room for joy, peace and faith, God 432 00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:26,040 Speaker 3: will feel you afresh and anews. 433 00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:27,960 Speaker 2: As our way of saying thank you for your gift 434 00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:30,840 Speaker 2: of any amount to the ministry.
