1
00:00:00,920 --> 00:00:02,520
Speaker 1: Hi, this is joelan Victorium.

2
00:00:02,759 --> 00:00:05,560
Speaker 2: Thanks so much for listening to the podcast and thanks

3
00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:07,040
Speaker 2: for supporting the ministry.

4
00:00:07,360 --> 00:00:08,560
Speaker 1: We believe you're going to have an.

5
00:00:08,600 --> 00:00:12,760
Speaker 2: Awesome twenty twenty four, healthy, productive, and favor filled.

6
00:00:13,039 --> 00:00:16,040
Speaker 1: God bless you today and enjoy the message. Oh, God

7
00:00:16,079 --> 00:00:16,640
Speaker 1: bless you.

8
00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:19,480
Speaker 2: It's great to be with you today, and I hope

9
00:00:19,480 --> 00:00:21,920
Speaker 2: you'll stay connected with us during the week through our

10
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:24,840
Speaker 2: daily podcast, our YouTube channel.

11
00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:27,960
Speaker 1: Social media. We'll keep you encouraged and inspired.

12
00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:30,920
Speaker 2: But I like to start with something funny and one

13
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:33,559
Speaker 2: day up in heaven, God said to the men, I

14
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:36,559
Speaker 2: want you to form two lines. One line is for

15
00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:39,320
Speaker 2: the men who were the head of the house. The

16
00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:41,880
Speaker 2: other line is for the men who let the woman

17
00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:44,559
Speaker 2: be the head of the house. The line where the

18
00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:47,360
Speaker 2: woman ran the house was one hundred miles long. The

19
00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:48,879
Speaker 2: other line only had one.

20
00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:51,680
Speaker 1: Man in it. God said, men, I'm ashamed of you.

21
00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:54,680
Speaker 2: I created you to be the head, but only one

22
00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:57,440
Speaker 2: man stood up to make me proud. He looked at

23
00:00:57,440 --> 00:01:00,000
Speaker 2: the man, said, son, tell them, how did you manage

24
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:02,640
Speaker 2: it to be the only one in this line. The

25
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:05,160
Speaker 2: man looked confused and said, I don't know. My wife

26
00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:08,600
Speaker 2: told me to send here. Say it like you mean it.

27
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:12,000
Speaker 2: This is my Bible. I am what it says I am.

28
00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:14,880
Speaker 2: I have what it says I have. I can do

29
00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:17,600
Speaker 2: what it says I can do. Today I will be

30
00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:21,679
Speaker 2: taught the word of God. I boldly confess. My mind

31
00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:25,120
Speaker 2: is alert, my heart is receptive. I will never be

32
00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:30,160
Speaker 2: the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you. I want

33
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:33,640
Speaker 2: to talk to you today about seeing beyond the logical.

34
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:37,640
Speaker 2: On the way to your destiny, you will face dreams

35
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:41,240
Speaker 2: that you can't accomplish on your own, obstacles that are

36
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:44,160
Speaker 2: too big for you, people that come against you that

37
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:47,319
Speaker 2: are more powerful. When you look at the situation in

38
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:50,240
Speaker 2: the natural and you reason it out, there's no way.

39
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:54,559
Speaker 2: The medical report says you can't get well. You don't

40
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:57,640
Speaker 2: have the funding for your dreams. You've had the addiction

41
00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:01,280
Speaker 2: for years. You tried, but you couldn't break. All of

42
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:04,400
Speaker 2: your logic says just acceptance. It's not meant to be.

43
00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:08,399
Speaker 2: But this is what faith is all about. God will

44
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:11,239
Speaker 2: put you in situations on purpose where.

45
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:14,720
Speaker 1: There is no solution in the natural. That's a test.

46
00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:17,519
Speaker 2: Are you going to get discouraged and give up on

47
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:20,639
Speaker 2: your dreams or are you going to walk by faith

48
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:24,640
Speaker 2: and not by sight. Jesus said to Peter in Matthew

49
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:28,960
Speaker 2: chapter sixteen, you are a dangerous trap to me, for

50
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:32,639
Speaker 2: you are seeing things only from a human point of view.

51
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:35,800
Speaker 1: And not from God's. It's significant that he.

52
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:40,000
Speaker 2: Used such a strong word, he said, Peter, it's dangerous

53
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:43,320
Speaker 2: to look at it only from the logical. He could

54
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:46,080
Speaker 2: have said, Peter, you need to have more faith, You

55
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:47,680
Speaker 2: need to think better, be.

56
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:48,840
Speaker 1: A little more positive.

57
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:52,520
Speaker 2: The reason he said dangerous is you can miss your

58
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:55,320
Speaker 2: destiny if you only look at things.

59
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:56,600
Speaker 1: From a natural perspective.

60
00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:01,120
Speaker 2: God is supernatural when you get it in agreement with him,

61
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:04,320
Speaker 2: there is a force behind you that will make things

62
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 2: happen that you can't make happen. He will open doors

63
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:11,720
Speaker 2: that no person can shut. He will do what medicine

64
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:15,200
Speaker 2: cannot do. You will defeat giants that are much bigger.

65
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:19,040
Speaker 2: You're not doing life on your own. The most High

66
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:21,040
Speaker 2: God is breathing in your direction.

67
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:25,000
Speaker 1: All he needs is a little faith. God, I don't

68
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 1: see away.

69
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:29,240
Speaker 2: My reasoning says it's not going to happen, but I

70
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:32,520
Speaker 2: know you have a way. I don't have the funding

71
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:35,360
Speaker 2: for my dreams, but God, I know you own it all.

72
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:36,960
Speaker 1: My child is off.

73
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 2: Course, it doesn't look good, but I believe as for

74
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:43,520
Speaker 2: me and my house, we will serve the Lord. Don't

75
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 2: be limited by your logic. Logic can be a dream stealer.

76
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:51,320
Speaker 2: If you look at your situation only from a human

77
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 2: point of view, what you can do, your resources, your connections,

78
00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:58,920
Speaker 2: your experience, then you're going to miss the greatness God

79
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:02,400
Speaker 2: put in you. The Book of Genesis tells about how

80
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:05,840
Speaker 2: God created the heavens and the earth. On the first day,

81
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:08,920
Speaker 2: he said, let there be light, and light came. The

82
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 2: second day, he separated the waters from the sky. Third

83
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:16,720
Speaker 2: day he created plants and trees. The fourth day he

84
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:20,599
Speaker 2: made the sun and the moon. What's interesting is there

85
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:23,440
Speaker 2: was light on the first day, but he didn't make

86
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:24,520
Speaker 2: the sun until.

87
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 1: The fourth day. How can you have light without the sun?

88
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:33,360
Speaker 2: God was showing us he's not logical, he's supernatural. He's

89
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:36,640
Speaker 2: going to do things in your life that are unexplainable,

90
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:40,440
Speaker 2: things that don't make sense. How could my mother be

91
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:44,919
Speaker 2: alive forty one years after being diagnosed with terminal cancer.

92
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:49,039
Speaker 2: That's not logical. That divides the odds. That's the God

93
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:52,599
Speaker 2: we serve. How could I be up here today? I

94
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:56,320
Speaker 2: didn't have the training, the experience. I've never been to seminary.

95
00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:59,400
Speaker 1: But God doesn't choose the way we choose.

96
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:05,120
Speaker 2: He does things that are uncommon, unusual, out of the ordinary.

97
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 2: How could we be having church in the former Compact

98
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:12,599
Speaker 2: Center a basketball arena. The company that was against us

99
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:17,200
Speaker 2: trying to get the facility was the largest taxpayer in Texas,

100
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:19,120
Speaker 2: a huge real estate company.

101
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:21,480
Speaker 1: It was David versus Goliath.

102
00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:25,400
Speaker 2: They had more connections, more funds, more experience.

103
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:29,640
Speaker 1: But God is not intimidated by the size of your problem.

104
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:33,080
Speaker 1: He's not losing sleep over who's against you.

105
00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 2: One angel in the Old Testament defeated one hundred and eighty.

106
00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:40,280
Speaker 1: Five thousand of the enemies of Israel's.

107
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:43,760
Speaker 2: God being for you is more than the world being

108
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:47,400
Speaker 2: against you. You may have some big obstacles, but you

109
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:51,960
Speaker 2: have to remind yourself we serve a big God. Sometimes

110
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:55,120
Speaker 2: he'll let the odds be against you on purpose, so

111
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:58,160
Speaker 2: when he turns it around, it will be a bigger miracle.

112
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:02,400
Speaker 2: When we were trying to acquire the Compact Center, a

113
00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:06,160
Speaker 2: very influential business leader in our city was at a

114
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:07,840
Speaker 2: banquet with a good friend of mine.

115
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:09,960
Speaker 1: But he didn't know my friend knew me.

116
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:13,600
Speaker 2: He laughed and said, very sarcastically, it will be a

117
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:17,200
Speaker 2: cold day in hell before Lakewood gets the Compact Center.

118
00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:20,800
Speaker 2: Every time I drive up to our building and see

119
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:24,120
Speaker 2: that Lakewood sign, I think it must be a cold.

120
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:25,680
Speaker 1: Day in hell, because here we are.

121
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:30,880
Speaker 2: The promise is God put in your heart. What He's

122
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:33,840
Speaker 2: whispered to you in the night. May not seem possible.

123
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:37,200
Speaker 1: It's too big, it's never happened for your family. You

124
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:38,440
Speaker 1: don't have the experience.

125
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:43,360
Speaker 2: All your logic says, there's no way. That's okay, Jesus

126
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:48,640
Speaker 2: said in Matthew nineteen. Humanly speaking, it is impossible. But

127
00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:50,880
Speaker 2: with God, all things are possible.

128
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:52,440
Speaker 1: Here's the question.

129
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:56,160
Speaker 2: Are you going to let your human reasoning, what you

130
00:06:56,240 --> 00:07:00,560
Speaker 2: can see, what's natural, set the limits for your life,

131
00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:03,880
Speaker 2: or are you going to see beyond the logical? Are

132
00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:07,239
Speaker 2: you going to believe that the all powerful.

133
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:08,960
Speaker 1: Creator of the universe, the.

134
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:12,160
Speaker 2: God who flung stars into space, the God who parts

135
00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:15,480
Speaker 2: red seas, the God who brings light without the sun,

136
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:19,400
Speaker 2: will make a way. Will you don't see away? I

137
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:22,320
Speaker 2: want to show you an example. I have these Roman

138
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:27,560
Speaker 2: numerals up here, the letter I and the letter x

139
00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:31,800
Speaker 2: I in Roman numerals is one X is ten.

140
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:34,400
Speaker 1: When the smaller number is in.

141
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:37,520
Speaker 2: Front of the larger number, then you subtract the smaller

142
00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:42,280
Speaker 2: so ten minus one this is nine. My question is

143
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:45,840
Speaker 2: with one stroke of the pen, can you make this six?

144
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:49,840
Speaker 2: If I put another I, that would be eight. You

145
00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:53,880
Speaker 2: can't put two, just one stroke. The in Roman numerals

146
00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:56,920
Speaker 2: is five. If you put that, that would make it four.

147
00:07:57,800 --> 00:07:59,120
Speaker 1: There are no more options.

148
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:02,880
Speaker 2: How do you make this six? Here's how I'm going

149
00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:06,120
Speaker 2: to add. I'm going to add.

150
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:10,160
Speaker 1: The s six. It fell six.

151
00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:14,960
Speaker 2: I had you think in Roman numerals you were limited

152
00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:15,760
Speaker 2: to one way.

153
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:18,760
Speaker 1: That's the way it is with God. We look at

154
00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:19,840
Speaker 1: things in the natural.

155
00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:24,000
Speaker 2: We look at things in the natural, we don't see

156
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:27,160
Speaker 2: a way. God steps in and says, I'm supernatural.

157
00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:29,440
Speaker 1: My ways are not your ways.

158
00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:32,480
Speaker 2: We come to a dead end at the Red Sea

159
00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:34,120
Speaker 2: and think, okay, God, we're stuck.

160
00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:36,440
Speaker 1: We're done. God says, you're not done.

161
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:40,080
Speaker 2: I part red seas, I bring water out of a rock,

162
00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:42,040
Speaker 2: I open glind eyes.

163
00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:46,080
Speaker 1: I make you fireproof in a furnace. Don't be limited

164
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:50,320
Speaker 1: by your logic. God defies logic. This is what happened

165
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:50,840
Speaker 1: with Mary.

166
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:55,000
Speaker 2: She was a teenager living in Nazareth engaged to a

167
00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:58,959
Speaker 2: young man named Joseph. An angel peard unto her, said, Mary,

168
00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:02,440
Speaker 2: you will give birth to a son without knowing a man.

169
00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:04,560
Speaker 1: You are to name him Jesus.

170
00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:08,160
Speaker 2: The scripture says Mary was confused and disturbed.

171
00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:09,599
Speaker 1: I can understand.

172
00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:13,200
Speaker 2: God just gave her a promise that seemed impossible. You

173
00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:16,080
Speaker 2: can't have a baby without a man. That defies the

174
00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:19,840
Speaker 2: laws of nature. Mary said to the angel, how can

175
00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:20,640
Speaker 2: I have a child?

176
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:21,760
Speaker 1: I'm a virgin.

177
00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:25,760
Speaker 2: The angel said, the spirit of the Most High will

178
00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:29,520
Speaker 2: come upon you and cause you to conceive. The angel

179
00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:33,080
Speaker 2: didn't get upset because she didn't believe. He didn't say

180
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:35,880
Speaker 2: too bad, Mary, you blew it. God promised it, but

181
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:39,160
Speaker 2: you didn't have enough faith. He simply helped her have

182
00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:43,280
Speaker 2: a new perspective. He was saying, in effect, Mary, you're

183
00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:46,160
Speaker 2: looking at it in the natural, and you're right. It's

184
00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:49,600
Speaker 2: not possible in your own ability. It won't happen, but

185
00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:53,360
Speaker 2: the spirit of God will make it happen. I believe

186
00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:56,480
Speaker 2: God sent me like this angel to help you have.

187
00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:59,600
Speaker 1: The right perspective. There is a force.

188
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:02,600
Speaker 2: That you can't see, a power that will cause the

189
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:07,640
Speaker 2: impossible to become possible. Now, Mary was at a critical point.

190
00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:11,880
Speaker 2: What she did next would determine whether she'd have the baby.

191
00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:14,720
Speaker 2: She could have said to the angel, I don't think so.

192
00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:17,840
Speaker 2: You need to go back and take biology. You can't

193
00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:21,240
Speaker 2: have a baby without a man. But Mary did what

194
00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:24,480
Speaker 2: we all have to do. She looked beyond the logical.

195
00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:28,160
Speaker 2: She didn't let her human reasoning talk her out of it.

196
00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:31,720
Speaker 2: She said to the angel, be it under me, even

197
00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:34,480
Speaker 2: as you have said. She was saying, I don't see

198
00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:38,400
Speaker 2: how seems impossible, But God, I'm in agreement with you.

199
00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:42,680
Speaker 1: Let it happen. Like with Mary, God is going to

200
00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:45,240
Speaker 1: put promises in your heart that don't make sense.

201
00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:48,280
Speaker 2: It's no way you can get well, no way you

202
00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:50,880
Speaker 2: can get your business off the ground, no way you

203
00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:54,359
Speaker 2: can have the baby. You've gone through all the fertility treatments.

204
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:57,880
Speaker 2: You've been told no again and again. You're right where

205
00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:00,920
Speaker 2: Mary was. Are you going to keep seeing it only

206
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:02,559
Speaker 2: from a human point of view?

207
00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:05,280
Speaker 1: Or are you going to get in agreement with God

208
00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:09,040
Speaker 1: and believe what the angel said? How can this happen?

209
00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:12,320
Speaker 2: It's not going to be your own strength, your own intellect,

210
00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:15,439
Speaker 2: your own hard work, the spirit of the Living God,

211
00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:19,360
Speaker 2: will make it happen. It's going to be supernatural, something

212
00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:20,320
Speaker 2: you can't explain.

213
00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:24,040
Speaker 1: You can't take credit for it. Everyone will know it's

214
00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:24,920
Speaker 1: the hind of God.

215
00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:28,320
Speaker 2: I talked to a man that had cancer on his

216
00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:32,240
Speaker 2: vocal cords. He was here in town for surgery at M. D.

217
00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:35,400
Speaker 2: Anderson stopped by the church and ask us to pray

218
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:35,840
Speaker 2: for him.

219
00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:39,439
Speaker 1: The doctors were going to remove most of his vocal cords.

220
00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:42,960
Speaker 2: He was told that he would be able to make sounds,

221
00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:44,800
Speaker 2: but he wouldn't be able to talk.

222
00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:47,880
Speaker 1: From a human perspective. It didn't look good.

223
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:51,680
Speaker 2: The odds were against him. I told him what I'm

224
00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:52,240
Speaker 2: telling you.

225
00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:56,280
Speaker 1: God has the final say. He controls the universe. When

226
00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:58,320
Speaker 1: you believe, all things are possible.

227
00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:02,320
Speaker 2: Couple of weeks later, he was back at church and

228
00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:05,679
Speaker 2: he came up to me, talking just as clearly as

229
00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:06,640
Speaker 2: I'm talking to you.

230
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:09,679
Speaker 1: I said, what happened? You didn't have the surgery.

231
00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:12,960
Speaker 2: He smiled real big and he said, yes, I had

232
00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:16,160
Speaker 2: the surgery, but I can still talk like I could before.

233
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:20,320
Speaker 2: Ninety percent of his vocal cords were removed, and he

234
00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:21,559
Speaker 2: can still talk normally.

235
00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:23,880
Speaker 1: Doctors can't explain it.

236
00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:27,600
Speaker 2: The surgeon said, in all of his years practicing, he's

237
00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:31,800
Speaker 2: never seen or heard of this. That's God bringing light

238
00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:36,840
Speaker 2: without a sun, bringing a baby without a man. Jesus

239
00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:39,960
Speaker 2: said to the Pharisees in John chapter eight, you judge

240
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:44,240
Speaker 2: me with all your human limitations. Don't put your human

241
00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:49,319
Speaker 2: limitations on the God who spoke worlds into existence. God

242
00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:52,360
Speaker 2: is not limited by the laws of medicine, the laws

243
00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:56,040
Speaker 2: of economics, the laws of nature, the laws of science.

244
00:12:56,720 --> 00:12:59,200
Speaker 2: When he's ready to bless you, he doesn't check with

245
00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:02,040
Speaker 2: your boss. He doesn't look at your four one K.

246
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:05,920
Speaker 2: He doesn't google the stock market report. He doesn't see

247
00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:09,440
Speaker 2: what friends you have, what family you come from. He's

248
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:14,319
Speaker 2: not moved by the natural. He's supernatural. When the Israelites

249
00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:17,520
Speaker 2: were in the desert, they complained to Moses that they

250
00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:19,960
Speaker 2: didn't have any meat to eat. They were tired of

251
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:23,080
Speaker 2: eating the mana every day. So Moses went to God

252
00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:23,880
Speaker 2: and said, God.

253
00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:26,800
Speaker 1: These people want meat. You know I can't get that

254
00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:30,080
Speaker 1: out in the desert. God said, in affect Moses, that's

255
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:31,040
Speaker 1: no problem for me.

256
00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:35,320
Speaker 2: I'll give you meat for a whole month. Moses said, God,

257
00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:38,920
Speaker 2: that's impossible. Do you see where we are if we

258
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:42,160
Speaker 2: butchered all of our flocks, all of our herds. We

259
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:45,400
Speaker 2: wouldn't have enough meat for these two million people, even

260
00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:48,920
Speaker 2: for one meal. There were no grocery stores out there

261
00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:53,920
Speaker 2: where they could buy food, No uber eats, no dominoes deliveries.

262
00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:57,040
Speaker 2: From a logical perspective.

263
00:13:56,720 --> 00:13:57,640
Speaker 1: Moses was right.

264
00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:02,840
Speaker 2: But God defies logic. He's not limited by what limits us.

265
00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:07,120
Speaker 2: One touch of his favor and the impossible becomes possible.

266
00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:12,720
Speaker 2: God shifted the winds and millions of quell flew into

267
00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:16,079
Speaker 2: their camp. They were three or four feet off the ground.

268
00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:19,920
Speaker 2: People grabbed all they wanted. For a month, they had

269
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:23,400
Speaker 2: state dinners out in the middle of the desert. What's

270
00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:27,440
Speaker 2: significant is quall don't normally fly that far away from water.

271
00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:30,800
Speaker 2: You'd never find a quaill in the middle of the desert.

272
00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:35,040
Speaker 2: But God controls the universe. If you'll take the limits

273
00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:37,840
Speaker 2: off of him, he'll cause opportunity to find you.

274
00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:41,600
Speaker 1: Good breaks will chase you down. The right people will

275
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:42,800
Speaker 1: come knocking at your door.

276
00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:46,680
Speaker 2: Now, don't do like Moses and tell God all the reasons.

277
00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:50,160
Speaker 2: You can't be blessed, you can't get well, you can't.

278
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:51,000
Speaker 1: Accomplish your dream.

279
00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:56,000
Speaker 2: You're studying the facts, the circumstances what people say, what

280
00:14:56,200 --> 00:15:01,120
Speaker 2: normally happens. The problem is you'll being limited by your logic.

281
00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:04,480
Speaker 2: You're seeing it only from a human point of view.

282
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:09,120
Speaker 2: God says, that's dangerous. You can miss your quell, you

283
00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:11,960
Speaker 2: can miss your compact center, you can miss your healing.

284
00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:15,280
Speaker 1: Have a new perspective. God, I'm in the desert.

285
00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:19,120
Speaker 2: It seems impossible to me, but I know you can

286
00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:22,800
Speaker 2: do the impossible. You make rivers in the desert, You

287
00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:27,240
Speaker 2: turn shepherds into kings. You bring babies out of barren wounds.

288
00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:31,160
Speaker 2: You open doors that are dead bolted. The scripture says,

289
00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:34,760
Speaker 2: is there anything too hard for the Lord? I was

290
00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:37,320
Speaker 2: out riding my bike the other day down this long

291
00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:40,560
Speaker 2: path toward downtown. I saw a young man on a

292
00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:43,920
Speaker 2: skateboard a couple hundred yards in front of me. I

293
00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:46,840
Speaker 2: wrote about five minutes and noticed that I wasn't gaining

294
00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:49,640
Speaker 2: on him. Now, I thought, that's strange. I'm on this

295
00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:53,560
Speaker 2: large bike with big wheels. I'm peddling fast.

296
00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:54,680
Speaker 1: He's on that.

297
00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:58,200
Speaker 2: Little skateboard with little three inch wheels. Yet he's out

298
00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:02,280
Speaker 2: pacing me. We were both going up this large hill.

299
00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:06,520
Speaker 2: He was just scooting along, no problem. I was huffing

300
00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:09,280
Speaker 2: puffing trying to get up the hill. He was doing

301
00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:12,560
Speaker 2: it with such ease. Didn't make sense to me. We

302
00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:16,040
Speaker 2: went our separate ways. About thirty minutes, I saw him

303
00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:19,920
Speaker 2: sitting on a park bench. He had his skateboard turned

304
00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:23,080
Speaker 2: over to the side. What I didn't realize is his

305
00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:24,960
Speaker 2: skateboard had a motor on it.

306
00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:28,160
Speaker 1: He had the remote control in his hand.

307
00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:32,840
Speaker 2: The reason he was going faster, further with less effort

308
00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:34,600
Speaker 2: is he had an advantage.

309
00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:36,800
Speaker 1: He had something that I couldn't see.

310
00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:40,520
Speaker 2: In the same way as a child of the most high,

311
00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:44,840
Speaker 2: you have an advantage. There is a force breathing in

312
00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:49,000
Speaker 2: your direction that's going to cause you to defy the odds.

313
00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:54,400
Speaker 2: You're going to go further faster with less struggle. People

314
00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:56,320
Speaker 2: are going to look at you and not understand it.

315
00:16:56,760 --> 00:16:58,800
Speaker 2: I think, how could you get out of that neighborhood?

316
00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:02,200
Speaker 2: I saw how you were. They're looking at it from

317
00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:05,439
Speaker 2: a human point of view. What they can't see is

318
00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:09,240
Speaker 2: you have a motor and anointing, a favor of blessing

319
00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:10,320
Speaker 2: on your life.

320
00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:13,920
Speaker 1: How could you lead your company in sales? You don't

321
00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:18,560
Speaker 1: have the experience. Logically speaking, they're correct, but God.

322
00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:20,640
Speaker 2: Is going to do in your life is going to

323
00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:24,760
Speaker 2: defy the logic. How could you beat that sickness? The

324
00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:28,520
Speaker 2: medical report says no way. Yes, but there's another report

325
00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:32,800
Speaker 2: you can't see. Jehovah Raphah, the Lord, my healer, is

326
00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:37,200
Speaker 2: breathing on my life. Don't judge your future by your

327
00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:40,720
Speaker 2: human limitations. What God is about to do in your

328
00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:44,240
Speaker 2: life is going to amaze you. The doors he's about

329
00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:48,399
Speaker 2: to open, the influence. He's going to give you the resources,

330
00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:54,080
Speaker 2: the ideas, the creativity, the divine connections. Now, the enemy

331
00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:57,639
Speaker 2: would love to keep you stuck with a limited mindset.

332
00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:01,560
Speaker 1: Focus only on the logical. Joel, I don't have the funds.

333
00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:05,360
Speaker 1: My back's been hurting for years, my child's acting up.

334
00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:08,479
Speaker 2: My boss doesn't treat me right. I don't come from

335
00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:12,720
Speaker 2: an influential family. Do you think that can stop your destiny?

336
00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:16,439
Speaker 2: That the God who breathed life into you, who chose

337
00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:19,800
Speaker 2: you before you could choose him, is somehow at a

338
00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:21,480
Speaker 2: loss of how to bring you.

339
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:22,280
Speaker 1: Into your purpose?

340
00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:26,280
Speaker 2: Or could it be that you're seeing things only from

341
00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:30,400
Speaker 2: a human perspective. My prayer is, God, open our eyes,

342
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:33,439
Speaker 2: help us to see what you see not just a

343
00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:37,439
Speaker 2: logical point of view, but a heavenly perspective, help us

344
00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:40,440
Speaker 2: to realize that you were all powerful, that you were

345
00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:41,920
Speaker 2: in control, that.

346
00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:44,920
Speaker 1: You were for us. Acts, Chapter twenty seven.

347
00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:48,080
Speaker 2: The Apostle Paul had been on a boat headed to

348
00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:49,760
Speaker 2: Rome for fourteen days.

349
00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:51,199
Speaker 1: When it was shipwrecked.

350
00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:54,600
Speaker 2: They all swam to the shore on this small island.

351
00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:57,400
Speaker 2: Paul went over to pick up some sticks to make

352
00:18:57,440 --> 00:19:01,960
Speaker 2: a fire. A poisonous snake bit his wrist latched on

353
00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:06,040
Speaker 2: wouldn't let go. The teeth were penetrating the skin, the

354
00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:10,160
Speaker 2: venom going in. The natives on the island knew exactly

355
00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:11,200
Speaker 2: what was going to happen.

356
00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:13,560
Speaker 1: They had seen it time and time again.

357
00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:17,880
Speaker 2: When someone was bitten, the scripture says, they would swell up,

358
00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:19,480
Speaker 2: get sick, and die.

359
00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:23,280
Speaker 1: The natives waited and waited and waited.

360
00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:28,560
Speaker 2: The problem was nobody told Paul he was supposed to die.

361
00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:33,000
Speaker 2: Sometimes what you don't know is good for you. If

362
00:19:33,040 --> 00:19:36,800
Speaker 2: you get a negative report and you overanalyze it, you

363
00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:39,920
Speaker 2: reason it out, study it all day, that's going to

364
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:40,679
Speaker 2: take your faith.

365
00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:41,960
Speaker 1: That's why the.

366
00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:46,520
Speaker 2: Scripture says, lean not to your own understanding. Take this

367
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:49,440
Speaker 2: in the right sense, but sometimes you have to turn

368
00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:50,359
Speaker 2: your mind off.

369
00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:54,040
Speaker 1: Faith is not of the mind. Faith is of the heart.

370
00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:58,399
Speaker 2: Yes, we should use common sense make good decisions, but

371
00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:01,520
Speaker 2: don't let your logic talk you out of what God

372
00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:02,320
Speaker 2: put in your heart.

373
00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:04,680
Speaker 1: God told Paul that he.

374
00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:07,800
Speaker 2: Was going to stand before Caesar, and Paul simply shook

375
00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:10,080
Speaker 2: the snake off when about his business.

376
00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:12,040
Speaker 1: It never did affect him.

377
00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:14,960
Speaker 2: The people on the island were so amazed they thought

378
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:17,800
Speaker 2: he was a god. But if Paul would have made

379
00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:21,639
Speaker 2: the mistake of seeing it only from a logical human

380
00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:24,439
Speaker 2: point of view, knowing that he had just been bitten

381
00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:28,120
Speaker 2: by a poisonous snake, he would have been worried, afraid,

382
00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:31,040
Speaker 2: what am I going to do? Maybe the venom would

383
00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:34,520
Speaker 2: have harmed them, Maybe he would have gotten set When

384
00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:37,199
Speaker 2: things come against you, it's easy to look at it

385
00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:38,360
Speaker 2: only in the natural.

386
00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:41,159
Speaker 1: Look at this medical report. What are we going to do?

387
00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:44,840
Speaker 2: My business had a set back, my child got in trouble.

388
00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:48,359
Speaker 2: You have to remind yourself. God is still on the throne.

389
00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:51,760
Speaker 2: Nothing can snatch you out of his hands. He wouldn't

390
00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:54,240
Speaker 2: have allowed it if he didn't already.

391
00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:54,560
Speaker 1: Have a solution.

392
00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:58,480
Speaker 2: We knew a man growing up named Casey, and he

393
00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:02,000
Speaker 2: owned a company that moved houses. One day they had

394
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:06,040
Speaker 2: traveled several hours down these country roads moving this house,

395
00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:09,560
Speaker 2: having to raise the power lines, move the signage to

396
00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:12,600
Speaker 2: clear the way, and they finally made it to their destination.

397
00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:17,040
Speaker 2: Casey realized they had forgotten their main chain that they

398
00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:20,120
Speaker 2: needed to unload the house. It was several hours back

399
00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:23,000
Speaker 2: to the city late in the day. He didn't want

400
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:24,960
Speaker 2: to leave the house on the side of the road,

401
00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:27,199
Speaker 2: so he told his men that he was going to

402
00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:29,280
Speaker 2: pray and ask God to give.

403
00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:29,800
Speaker 1: Him a change.

404
00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:34,199
Speaker 2: They kind of snickered, said sarcastically, what are you going

405
00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:37,320
Speaker 2: to do? Pray God that rains down a chain from heaven.

406
00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:41,639
Speaker 2: They all laughed, made fun. Casey said, God, I know

407
00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:44,640
Speaker 2: there's nothing too hard for you, and I don't see

408
00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:48,000
Speaker 2: how in the natural. Nothing in my logic says this

409
00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:51,520
Speaker 2: makes sense. But I know you're supernatural. You have ways

410
00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:54,320
Speaker 2: that I've never thought of. So I'm asking you to

411
00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:57,320
Speaker 2: give me a chain. All of his men were rolling

412
00:21:57,359 --> 00:22:01,520
Speaker 2: their eyes, but Jesus said, don't judge me with your

413
00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:05,320
Speaker 2: human limitations. Don't put me in the same category of

414
00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:06,080
Speaker 2: what you can do.

415
00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:07,440
Speaker 1: I am all powerful.

416
00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:12,240
Speaker 2: When you're not limited by your logic, you'll pray bold prayers,

417
00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:16,160
Speaker 2: you'll shake off a snake like Paul a bad break.

418
00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:17,240
Speaker 1: And go about your business.

419
00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:21,159
Speaker 2: You'll believe, or you'll compact centers for your dreams for

420
00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:25,520
Speaker 2: what looks unlikely. Casey and his men were standing on

421
00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:27,680
Speaker 2: the side of the road and there was a big

422
00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:30,440
Speaker 2: curve right in front of them, out in the middle

423
00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:32,840
Speaker 2: of nowhere, trying to figure out what they were going

424
00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:37,040
Speaker 2: to do about that time, this old beat up pickup

425
00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:40,560
Speaker 2: truck came buryling down the road, going way too fast.

426
00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:44,800
Speaker 2: It had its tailgate open. When it took that sharp curve,

427
00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:47,560
Speaker 2: A chain slung out of the back of the bed,

428
00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:51,240
Speaker 2: slid across the road, curled up at Casey's feet. He

429
00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:53,480
Speaker 2: picked it up and said, here's my chain. Boys, let's

430
00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:57,760
Speaker 2: go to work. Is there anything too hard for the Lord?

431
00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:02,800
Speaker 2: Are you basing your prayer on your ability, your connections,

432
00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:07,000
Speaker 2: your finances. From a natural logical point of view, you're

433
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:10,000
Speaker 2: going to miss the fullness of what God has in store.

434
00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:14,040
Speaker 2: It's dangerous to limit him to only what you think

435
00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:18,320
Speaker 2: can happen. Take the limits off. Pray some bold prayers,

436
00:23:18,800 --> 00:23:22,280
Speaker 2: dream some big dreams. If you can accomplish your dream

437
00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:26,800
Speaker 2: in your own ability, with your connections, your finances.

438
00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:28,520
Speaker 1: Then your dream is too small.

439
00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:31,600
Speaker 2: God has things in your future that you haven't seen,

440
00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:35,440
Speaker 2: levels that you haven't imagined. When you don't limit him

441
00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:39,280
Speaker 2: by the logical, When you believe, even when your mind

442
00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:43,000
Speaker 2: says that's too far out, you never get well, never

443
00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:45,960
Speaker 2: start your business, never see your family restored.

444
00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:49,920
Speaker 1: All the odds are against you. Then you're in perfect.

445
00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:52,439
Speaker 2: Position for God to show out in your life, to

446
00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:56,840
Speaker 2: do something that you've never seen. God told Abraham and

447
00:23:56,880 --> 00:23:58,879
Speaker 2: Sarah that they were going to have a baby.

448
00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:01,040
Speaker 1: They were both way too old.

449
00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:05,560
Speaker 2: When Sarah heard it, the scripture says, she laughed and said,

450
00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:08,600
Speaker 2: how could a worn out woman like me have a baby?

451
00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:12,760
Speaker 2: She thought, that's so far out, it's funny, it's comical

452
00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:13,959
Speaker 2: me have a child.

453
00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:16,720
Speaker 1: Sarah did what many of us do.

454
00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:20,119
Speaker 2: She looked at it only in the natural and in

455
00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:21,320
Speaker 2: her human reasoning.

456
00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:23,840
Speaker 1: She was right, you can't have a baby at eighty

457
00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:24,440
Speaker 1: years old.

458
00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:28,120
Speaker 2: But when God puts a promise in your heart, when

459
00:24:28,119 --> 00:24:31,920
Speaker 2: he whispers something to you in your spirit, it may seem.

460
00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:35,240
Speaker 1: Far out unlikely. You could easily dismiss it.

461
00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:40,000
Speaker 2: Try a different approach. Do like Mary, God, let it happen.

462
00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:43,720
Speaker 2: I'm in agreement with you. I don't see how, but

463
00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:45,040
Speaker 2: I'm not going to limit you.

464
00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:46,800
Speaker 1: To my human point of view.

465
00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:51,240
Speaker 2: When Sarah was ninety years old, against all odds, she

466
00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:55,200
Speaker 2: gave birth to a son. The scripture says she laughed

467
00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:59,520
Speaker 2: again and says God has brought me laughter, and all

468
00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:02,600
Speaker 2: who here about this will laugh with me. She even

469
00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:07,080
Speaker 2: named her son Isaac, which means laughter. The first time

470
00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:11,399
Speaker 2: she laughed in unbelief, thinking there's no way. The second

471
00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:14,760
Speaker 2: time she laughed in amazement, thinking look what the Lord

472
00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:18,840
Speaker 2: has done. In the past, you may have laughed in unbelief,

473
00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:22,160
Speaker 2: thinking what God promised you could never come to pass.

474
00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:23,680
Speaker 1: You discounted it.

475
00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:27,399
Speaker 2: It's too late, Joel, it's too big, it's impossible. The

476
00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:31,080
Speaker 2: good news is that didn't stop the promise. I believe

477
00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:34,800
Speaker 2: your second laugh is coming. God is about to do

478
00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:38,640
Speaker 2: something so awesome, so big, that you're going to laugh

479
00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:39,480
Speaker 2: in amazement.

480
00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:42,199
Speaker 1: The second laugh is going to surprise you.

481
00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:45,879
Speaker 2: It's going to be something out of the ordinary, something

482
00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:49,879
Speaker 2: you can't explain, something that catapults you to a new level.

483
00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:53,800
Speaker 2: Get ready, God is about to defy the odds. He's

484
00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:55,720
Speaker 2: about to show out in your life.

485
00:25:55,880 --> 00:25:59,560
Speaker 1: You haven't seen, heard, or imagined what He's about to do.

486
00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:03,560
Speaker 2: Like Sarah, You're going to stand in awe at the

487
00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:07,200
Speaker 2: greatness of our God. You wouldn't be hearing this if

488
00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:11,040
Speaker 2: that second laugh wasn't on the way. Now do your part.

489
00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:14,280
Speaker 2: Don't see things only from a human point of view.

490
00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:17,760
Speaker 2: Don't let your logic limit what God wants to do.

491
00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:21,359
Speaker 2: Now I'm not saying deny the facts, act like they

492
00:26:21,359 --> 00:26:25,199
Speaker 2: don't exist. I'm saying, see beyond the logical, get a

493
00:26:25,280 --> 00:26:26,480
Speaker 2: heavenly perspective.

494
00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:30,840
Speaker 1: The most High God is on your side. He hasn't

495
00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:32,760
Speaker 1: forgotten what he promised you.

496
00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:36,640
Speaker 2: He has the right people, the right breaks, the solutions

497
00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:38,160
Speaker 2: already en route.

498
00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:39,600
Speaker 1: If you'll do this, I.

499
00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:44,000
Speaker 2: Believe and declare new doors are about to open. Sicknesses

500
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:49,720
Speaker 2: are turning around, addictions are being broken, Healing, wholeness, abundance,

501

Speaker 2: you receive it.

503
00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:56,080
Speaker 1: Can you say amen?

504
00:26:57,760 --> 00:27:00,399
Speaker 2: I'd like to give you an opportunity to make Jesus

505
00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:02,760
Speaker 2: the lord of your life. Would you pray with me?

506
00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:07,240
Speaker 2: Just say, Lord, Jesus, I repent of my sins.

507
