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 --> 00:00:12,720
Speaker 2: Awesome twenty twenty four, healthy, productive, and favor filled.

6
00:00:13,039 --> 00:00:16,439
Speaker 1: God bless you today and enjoy the message. God bless you.

7
00:00:16,880 --> 00:00:19,239
Speaker 2: It's great to be with you today, and I hope

8
00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:21,840
Speaker 2: you'll stay connected with us during the week through our

9
00:00:21,880 --> 00:00:26,040
Speaker 2: daily podcast, our YouTube channel, social media. We'll keep you

10
00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:29,720
Speaker 2: encouraged and inspired. I'd like to start with something funny,

11
00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:32,520
Speaker 2: and I heard about this man. He called the church

12
00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:35,680
Speaker 2: office and said to the secretary, I want to speak

13
00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:37,640
Speaker 2: to the head hog at the trough.

14
00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:39,680
Speaker 1: The secretary was offended.

15
00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:42,120
Speaker 2: She said, if you mean the pastor, you're going to

16
00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:44,160
Speaker 2: have to call him pasttor, but you may.

17
00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:47,200
Speaker 1: Not call him the head hog at the trough. He said, well.

18
00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:49,640
Speaker 2: Fine, but I was thinking about making a ten thousand

19
00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:52,839
Speaker 2: dollars donation to your church. She said, hang on, poor

20
00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:56,600
Speaker 2: k you just walked in say didn't like you mean it.

21
00:00:57,120 --> 00:00:59,920
Speaker 2: This is my Bible. I am what it says I am,

22
00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:02,720
Speaker 2: I have what it says I have, I can do

23
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:05,280
Speaker 2: what it says I can do. Today I will be

24
00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:09,119
Speaker 2: taught the word of God. I boldly confess. My mind

25
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:12,520
Speaker 2: is alert, my heart is receptive. I will never be

26
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:17,600
Speaker 2: the same. In Jesus's name, God bless you. I want

27
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:20,240
Speaker 2: to talk to you today about the hand of blessing.

28
00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:23,720
Speaker 2: In the Old Testament, when the father was up there

29
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:26,680
Speaker 2: in years and about to pass, he would call his

30
00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:30,399
Speaker 2: children in and place his hand on their head. He

31
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:34,839
Speaker 2: would speak loving, faith filled words over them. These words

32
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:37,320
Speaker 2: would help set the direction for their lives.

33
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:39,000
Speaker 1: It was called the blessing.

34
00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:43,160
Speaker 2: It was so valuable that when Jacob tricked his father

35
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:46,720
Speaker 2: Isaac into giving him the blessing that belonged to his

36
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:49,280
Speaker 2: older brother Esau, wept.

37
00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:50,760
Speaker 1: He knew he was.

38
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:54,680
Speaker 2: At the disadvantage. His life would be limited. Isaac couldn't

39
00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:57,800
Speaker 2: believe it. He was so distraught, he said, I have

40
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:01,640
Speaker 2: given the blessing and I cannot take it back. The

41
00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:05,520
Speaker 2: blessing would determine whether they would live a victorious life

42
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 2: filled with favor abundance, overcome whatever came their way, or

43
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:14,240
Speaker 2: whether it would be a life of struggle, hardship, not

44
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:18,440
Speaker 2: able to get ahead. Sons and daughters looked forward to

45
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 2: this blessing.

46
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:20,639
Speaker 1: They longed for the.

47
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:23,160
Speaker 2: Day where they would fill their father's.

48
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:23,840
Speaker 1: Hand on their head.

49
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:27,880
Speaker 2: It was a destiny moment. Some of us have received

50
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 2: this blessing from our fathers. We had great fathers that

51
00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:36,000
Speaker 2: spoke faith into us. Others their father wasn't around. Maybe

52
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:39,400
Speaker 2: he spoke discouraging words, telling you what you couldn't become.

53
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:42,960
Speaker 2: You could think you're at a disadvantage, you're limited. You

54
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:46,480
Speaker 2: didn't get this blessing. That's the way David felt in

55
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 2: the scripture. His father looked down on him, saw him

56
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:54,240
Speaker 2: as too small, not that talented. David could have let

57
00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:57,320
Speaker 2: that sour his life. Thought, I can't do anything great.

58
00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:01,120
Speaker 2: I didn't get the blessing. But he said in Psalm one, p.

59
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:05,720
Speaker 2: Thirty nine, God, you have placed your hand a blessing

60
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:09,680
Speaker 2: on my head, as powerful as the blessing is from

61
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:14,480
Speaker 2: your natural father. Imagine your heavenly father placing his hand

62
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:18,840
Speaker 2: a blessing on you. In the scripture, Jesus laid hands

63
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:22,560
Speaker 2: on people and healed the sick. Paul laid hands on

64
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:27,160
Speaker 2: Timothy to ignite his gifts. Fathers laid hands on children

65
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 2: to bless them. Laying on of hands was a significant moment,

66
00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 2: a transfer of power in healing. When the most High

67
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:39,440
Speaker 2: God placed his hand a blessing on your head. He

68
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:43,240
Speaker 2: marked you for favor, He marked you for greatness, He

69
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 2: marked you to overcome obstacles. You're a marked man, a

70
00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:51,920
Speaker 2: marked woman. Not by defeat, not by failure. But you

71
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:55,760
Speaker 2: are marked by the hand of Almighty God. What other

72
00:03:55,840 --> 00:04:00,080
Speaker 2: people do cannot stop the blessing. Here's the key. They

73
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 2: didn't give it, so they can't take it. It didn't

74
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:05,960
Speaker 2: come from people. It came from your father in heaven.

75
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:10,320
Speaker 2: Sometimes it's good to close your eyes and see that

76
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 2: hand of blessing on your life. When dreams seem impossible,

77
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:18,359
Speaker 2: the obstacle too big, you're weary, you don't think you

78
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:21,680
Speaker 2: could go on. Just picture the creator of the universe,

79
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:26,200
Speaker 2: the god who spoke worlds into existence, laying his hands

80
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:29,080
Speaker 2: on your head, releasing favor.

81
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:31,440
Speaker 1: Healing strength, breakthroughs.

82
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:35,800
Speaker 2: You are not limited, You're not lacking God's hands. A

83
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:39,560
Speaker 2: blessing will cause you to defeat giants. It will keep

84
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:42,360
Speaker 2: you safe in a fiery furnace. It will part of

85
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:45,120
Speaker 2: red sea when you're at the dead end. It will

86
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:49,279
Speaker 2: close the mouths of hungry lions. God's hand of blessing

87
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:53,719
Speaker 2: is a supernatural favor. Doors will open that you couldn't open.

88
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:57,479
Speaker 2: It's a hedge of protection, keeping you safe from what

89
00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:01,800
Speaker 2: should harm you. It's a divine in empowerment. You'll discover

90
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:03,800
Speaker 2: ability that you didn't know you had.

91
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:07,160
Speaker 1: It wasn't good luck. It wasn't you're so skilled.

92
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:10,280
Speaker 2: It was the most High God putting his hand a

93
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:14,719
Speaker 2: blessing on your life. In the Amplified version of the Bible,

94
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:18,440
Speaker 2: it describes this blessing when you see the word blessed

95
00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:25,599
Speaker 2: many times in parentheses, it says happy, fortunate, to be envied, prosperous.

96
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:31,320
Speaker 2: Jesus said, blessed are the peacemakers. The Amplified says blessed, Happy,

97
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:36,760
Speaker 2: fortunate to be envied, prosperous are the peacemakers. This is

98
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:41,480
Speaker 2: the way you need to see yourself blessed, Happy, fortunate,

99
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:45,719
Speaker 2: to be envied, prosperous. See, the blessing doesn't do you

100
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:49,400
Speaker 2: any good. If you think you're limited, you've been through

101
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:53,039
Speaker 2: too much. Your family didn't support you. You never get

102
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:57,400
Speaker 2: any good breaks. Limited thinking will lead to a limited life.

103
00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:02,200
Speaker 2: A blessed mindset will lead to a blessed life. You

104
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:05,520
Speaker 2: may have obstacles that look too big. You don't see

105
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:08,800
Speaker 2: how you can accomplish your dream. But the blessing on

106
00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:12,559
Speaker 2: your life is more powerful than any force that tries

107
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:15,640
Speaker 2: to stop you. I know today I'm not looking at

108
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:21,000
Speaker 2: average people. I'm looking at blessed, happy, fortunate, to be envied,

109
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:22,320
Speaker 2: prosperous people.

110
00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:24,680
Speaker 1: See, we use the word.

111
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:28,360
Speaker 2: Blessed so commonly these days, we don't always realize what

112
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:28,920
Speaker 2: it means.

113
00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:30,680
Speaker 1: How you doing, I'm blessed.

114
00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:34,640
Speaker 2: Someone sneezes bless you, and that's all good, But we

115
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:38,480
Speaker 2: need to understand what the blessing is. It's an empowerment

116
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:43,120
Speaker 2: where you can live happy, not dragged through the day, defeated,

117
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:46,880
Speaker 2: but joyful, with a spring in your step, a song

118
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:48,040
Speaker 2: of praise in your heart.

119
00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:49,880
Speaker 1: Despite the circumstances.

120
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:54,480
Speaker 2: You can live fortunate, you see good breaks, opportunities.

121
00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:59,000
Speaker 1: Part of this blessing is to be envied. God wants

122
00:06:59,040 --> 00:06:59,320
Speaker 1: you to.

123
00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:02,279
Speaker 2: Be so blessed that other people want what you have,

124
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:08,799
Speaker 2: so healthy, so happy, so successful, so generous, so stable,

125
00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:12,280
Speaker 2: always in a good mood, that you stand out. You're

126
00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:16,120
Speaker 2: an example of God's goodness, not barely getting by, but

127
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:18,680
Speaker 2: blessed in such a way that you can be a

128
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:19,680
Speaker 2: blessing to others.

129
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:22,239
Speaker 1: You're not only accomplishing.

130
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:26,120
Speaker 2: Your dreams, seeing overflow, setting new standards, but you're helping

131
00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:31,160
Speaker 2: others to rise higher. The scripture says that Abraham was

132
00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:35,600
Speaker 2: very wealthy, with silver and gold. He had large flocks

133
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:39,760
Speaker 2: of cattle and sheep, many staff and shepherds. He was

134
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:43,560
Speaker 2: so blessed that people prayed to the God of Abraham.

135
00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:48,119
Speaker 2: These were people that didn't know Abraham's god, they didn't

136
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:48,800
Speaker 2: know Jehovah.

137
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:50,520
Speaker 1: They weren't religious people.

138
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:55,600
Speaker 2: All they knew was this man is so successful, so favored.

139
00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:56,760
Speaker 1: That we want to serve his God.

140
00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:00,640
Speaker 2: God wants to bless you in such a way that

141
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:04,360
Speaker 2: others are envious. They see the blessing on your life,

142
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:05,840
Speaker 2: they see you standing out.

143
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:08,920
Speaker 1: That's what the scripture says. You are the head and

144
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:09,679
Speaker 1: not the telle.

145
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:13,320
Speaker 2: You are above and not beneath, lending and not borrowing.

146
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:18,240
Speaker 2: Don't have a limited mentality, have a blessed mentality all

147
00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:18,840
Speaker 2: through the day.

148
00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:20,920
Speaker 1: Father, thank you that I'm blessed.

149
00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:26,040
Speaker 2: I'm happy, I'm fortunate, I'm to be envied, I'm prosperous,

150
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:29,360
Speaker 2: which all that seems kind of arrogant, doesn't it. No,

151
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:32,200
Speaker 2: we're not bragging on who we are, We're bragging on

152
00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:34,280
Speaker 2: what our heavenly Father has done.

153
00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:37,760
Speaker 1: He has placed his hand a blessing on us.

154
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:41,959
Speaker 2: You have to get in agreement with God. God works

155
00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:45,600
Speaker 2: where there's faith. You can have this blessing and cancel

156
00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:49,520
Speaker 2: it out with doubt, negative thinking. I can't get well,

157
00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:52,960
Speaker 2: I'll never meet the right person, this dream will never

158
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:53,680
Speaker 2: come to pass.

159
00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:54,640
Speaker 1: Zip that up.

160
00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:58,320
Speaker 2: There is a blessing on your life that will override

161
00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:02,080
Speaker 2: every negative force, a blessing that will take you where

162
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:05,000
Speaker 2: you can't go on your own, A blessing that will

163
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:09,280
Speaker 2: cause things to happen that are unusual, uncommon, out of

164
00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:13,880
Speaker 2: the ordinary. This is what happened with Isaac Genesis chapter

165
00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:16,920
Speaker 2: twenty six. There was a great famine in the land.

166
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:20,960
Speaker 2: Food was very scarce, hadn't rained in months. All the

167
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:24,480
Speaker 2: Philistines were just waiting it out, hoping things would turn around.

168
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:28,559
Speaker 2: Isaac could have thought, too bad, I'll just try to survive.

169
00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:30,000
Speaker 1: This is a rough season.

170
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:34,600
Speaker 2: But Isaac understood this principle that the blessing on his

171
00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:36,200
Speaker 2: life could cause him.

172
00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:38,479
Speaker 1: To prosper while others were struggling.

173
00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:43,600
Speaker 2: See, the Philistines didn't worship God, they worshiped idols. There's

174
00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:46,920
Speaker 2: a difference between you and those that don't honor God.

175
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:50,560
Speaker 2: They're not bad people, but there is a blessing on

176
00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:54,040
Speaker 2: your life that will cause things to happen that defy

177
00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:57,960
Speaker 2: the odds to where you stand out. People take notice

178
00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:02,640
Speaker 2: that there's something different about you. When they're struggling, you're succeeding.

179
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:07,320
Speaker 2: When they're complaining, you're praising. When they're worried, you're in peace.

180
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:11,120
Speaker 2: Isaac went out in the middle of the drought and

181
00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:14,800
Speaker 2: planted his crops. His neighbors thought, what's wrong with this guy.

182
00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:18,600
Speaker 2: Doesn't he realize there's no way to water the crops, no.

183
00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:19,800
Speaker 1: Way anything will grow.

184
00:10:20,400 --> 00:10:25,640
Speaker 2: But Birch twelve says that same year, Isaac's crops were tremendous.

185
00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:30,560
Speaker 2: He harvested one hundred times more than he planted because

186
00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:32,040
Speaker 2: the Lord was with him.

187
00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:33,559
Speaker 1: Notice where the.

188
00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:37,520
Speaker 2: Blessing came from. It wasn't the water, the soil, the seed.

189
00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:39,079
Speaker 2: It was because the.

190
00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:40,920
Speaker 1: Lord blessed him.

191
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:44,560
Speaker 2: God can favor you in a famine, he can prosper

192
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:48,680
Speaker 2: you in a pandemic. The circumstances don't determine the blessing.

193
00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:51,319
Speaker 1: All the conditions may say you.

194
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:54,559
Speaker 2: Can't have a harvest man, there's no water, you can't

195
00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:56,640
Speaker 2: get well, you saw the medical report.

196
00:10:56,920 --> 00:10:59,200
Speaker 1: You'll never break the addiction. You've had it so long.

197
00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:02,280
Speaker 1: That be true if you were the Philistines.

198
00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:06,560
Speaker 2: The difference is God has placed his hand a blessing

199
00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:07,080
Speaker 2: on you.

200
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:10,640
Speaker 1: The blessing causes supernatural things to happen.

201
00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:14,840
Speaker 2: God is not limited by your environment, by the economy,

202
00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:17,319
Speaker 2: by how you were raised, by who's.

203
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:19,600
Speaker 1: Not for you. He controls the universe.

204
00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:23,760
Speaker 2: You may be in a famine. Every thought says you're stuck.

205
00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:26,719
Speaker 2: It's never going to work out. You keep doing the

206
00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:30,120
Speaker 2: right thing, and your time is coming. Like with Isaac,

207
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:33,200
Speaker 2: God is going to show out in your life. You

208
00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:36,160
Speaker 2: would think, in the middle of a drought, if Isaac

209
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:39,360
Speaker 2: got a normal harvest, that would be a miracle, just

210
00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:43,320
Speaker 2: enough to feed his family. But notice how God works.

211
00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:48,439
Speaker 2: Isaac's crops were tremendous. He had a banner year overflow.

212
00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:53,000
Speaker 2: Verse fifteen says, and the Philistines envied him.

213
00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:55,160
Speaker 1: That's part of the blessing.

214
00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:59,080
Speaker 2: That you are blessed with such overflow that your talent

215
00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:02,520
Speaker 2: comes out and such great ways, that your business sees

216
00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:06,560
Speaker 2: such increase, that your children do such awesome things that

217
00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:07,880
Speaker 2: people look at you and.

218
00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:10,080
Speaker 1: Shake their head. Thank How did that happen.

219
00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:13,160
Speaker 2: We're in the same drought. We had the same seed,

220
00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:14,320
Speaker 2: the same soil.

221
00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:16,000
Speaker 1: We can't get anything to grow.

222
00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:20,720
Speaker 2: It's not the environment, it's the blessing on your life.

223
00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:24,440
Speaker 2: But I wonder if you're living with the blessing and

224
00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:27,480
Speaker 2: don't know it, are you canceling.

225
00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:28,480
Speaker 1: It out with limited thinking?

226
00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:31,560
Speaker 2: It's not gonna happen for me, Joel, you don't know

227
00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:34,200
Speaker 2: how it was raised. My boss is not for me.

228
00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:38,600
Speaker 2: I don't have a great personality. That's not important. What's

229
00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:42,720
Speaker 2: important is the creator of the universe has placed his

230
00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:46,680
Speaker 2: hand the blessing on you. Now start thinking like you're blessed,

231
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:47,520
Speaker 2: like you.

232
00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:48,680
Speaker 1: Have an advantage.

233
00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:53,640
Speaker 2: Sometimes we're envying everyone else. I wish I had their talent,

234
00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:56,719
Speaker 2: I wish I had her looks. I wish I was

235
00:12:56,760 --> 00:13:00,680
Speaker 2: as successful as my neighbor. As long as you see

236
00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:04,120
Speaker 2: yourself lacking at a disadvantage.

237
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:04,400
Speaker 1: It's going to limit you.

238
00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:07,880
Speaker 2: And yes, it's good to celebrate others. But the right

239
00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:11,400
Speaker 2: attitude is Father, thank you that the blessing on my

240
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:14,240
Speaker 2: life is going to cause me to be envied, that

241
00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:15,760
Speaker 2: people are going to want.

242
00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:16,000
Speaker 1: What I have.

243
00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:20,440
Speaker 2: That's what allows God to do great things, to prosper

244
00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:23,880
Speaker 2: you in a negative environment, to promote you when you

245
00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:26,600
Speaker 2: weren't the next in line, to heal you when the

246
00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:29,800
Speaker 2: report says there's no way to take you where no

247
00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:33,040
Speaker 2: one in your family has gone. I know a man

248
00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:36,720
Speaker 2: named Robert. He was raised by a single mother. He

249
00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:40,319
Speaker 2: never knew his biological father. When he was five years old,

250
00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:43,720
Speaker 2: his mother married a man, but he was very mean

251
00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:47,840
Speaker 2: and condescending. He constantly told Robert how he was never

252
00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:49,280
Speaker 2: going to mount to anything.

253
00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:51,720
Speaker 1: As a child, he didn't know any better.

254
00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:56,360
Speaker 2: He believed those lies and grew up very insecure, feeling inferior.

255
00:13:57,280 --> 00:14:00,839
Speaker 2: When he was a teenager, his mother remarried. This new

256
00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:05,000
Speaker 2: step father was just the opposite. He encouraged Roberton, told

257
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:07,439
Speaker 2: him how talented he was and how he was going

258
00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:10,840
Speaker 2: to do great things. When he graduated from high school,

259
00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:13,880
Speaker 2: he was working as a janitor in a small town.

260
00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:16,600
Speaker 2: His father asked him what he wanted to do with

261
00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:20,600
Speaker 2: his life. He had been beaten down so long. He said,

262
00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:23,200
Speaker 2: this is all I know how to do, just clean buildings.

263
00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:25,800
Speaker 2: And his father told Robert that he had so much

264
00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:28,600
Speaker 2: more in him, said Robert, I'll make a deal with you.

265
00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:31,920
Speaker 2: If you'll go to college, I'll pay for every course,

266
00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:34,560
Speaker 2: every book, every degree you get.

267
00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:37,160
Speaker 1: Something came alive in Robert.

268
00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:40,600
Speaker 2: He went back to school and got his bachelor's degree.

269
00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:44,560
Speaker 2: Then he got his master's degree, and then his doctorate.

270
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:46,240
Speaker 1: He liked it so much.

271
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:50,040
Speaker 2: He went to seminary and got another degree. After four degrees,

272
00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:54,040
Speaker 2: the father said, I think that's enough. Today Robert is

273
00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:59,200
Speaker 2: very successful fulfilling his purpose. Now, don't let what people

274
00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:01,360
Speaker 2: have spoken over you keep.

275
00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:04,520
Speaker 1: You from your greatness. The enemy would love for you

276
00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:06,040
Speaker 1: to live limited.

277
00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:10,680
Speaker 2: Not go after your dreams, not feel attractive, not think

278
00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:14,240
Speaker 2: you can be successful. When those lies try to push

279
00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:17,520
Speaker 2: you down, you need to close your eyes and imagine

280
00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:22,000
Speaker 2: God's hand a blessing placed on your head. This blessing

281
00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:24,120
Speaker 2: is more powerful.

282
00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:25,000
Speaker 1: Than what people have told you.

283
00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:29,400
Speaker 2: It's more powerful than the lies the enemy whispers. The

284
00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:33,840
Speaker 2: blessing on your life will override every negative force that's

285
00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:36,720
Speaker 2: trying to hold you back. The only thing that can

286
00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:40,120
Speaker 2: stop the blessing is if you believe the lies. If

287
00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:43,480
Speaker 2: you think you're limited, you can't go further. You're not

288
00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:48,040
Speaker 2: that talented. Everyone in my family struggles. That may be true,

289
00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:51,320
Speaker 2: but you're the difference maker. You're the one to defy

290
00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:54,040
Speaker 2: the odds. You're the one to set a new standard.

291
00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:57,960
Speaker 2: If you'll have the right perspective, knowing that you're blessed,

292
00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:02,960
Speaker 2: you're fortunate, you're too envied, you'll prosper us. Then, like Robert,

293
00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:06,160
Speaker 2: God is going to show out in your life Numbers,

294
00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:10,440
Speaker 2: Chapter twenty two. The king of Moab sent word to Balem,

295
00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:13,760
Speaker 2: asking him to come and curse the people of Israel.

296
00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:17,560
Speaker 2: The Israelites were about to come through the Moabites territory.

297
00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:20,920
Speaker 2: When the king saw how many there were, he was afraid.

298
00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:23,120
Speaker 1: He sent his men with a.

299
00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:26,520
Speaker 2: Large amount of money. They said, Balim, we know God

300
00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:29,200
Speaker 2: will do what you ask. We'll pay you all these

301
00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:32,640
Speaker 2: funds if you will come and speak defeat over these people.

302
00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:35,560
Speaker 2: Balim asked them to spend the night so he could.

303
00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:37,360
Speaker 1: Pray about it. Verse twelve.

304
00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:40,640
Speaker 2: God said, Balem, don't go with these people, for I

305
00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:45,000
Speaker 2: have blessed the Israelites. What I have blessed, you cannot curse.

306
00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:48,880
Speaker 2: God was saying, in effect, Balim, there's no use going

307
00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:51,840
Speaker 2: with them, because you can't cancel out the blessing.

308
00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:54,240
Speaker 1: The messengers went back and told the.

309
00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:57,200
Speaker 2: King that he wouldn't come. The king sent more people

310
00:16:57,280 --> 00:17:00,960
Speaker 2: and more funds. Finally, Balim went back with them. The

311
00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:04,280
Speaker 2: king was so happy he called everyone out, got this

312
00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:08,080
Speaker 2: big audience, said go ahead, Baalim, do your thing. But

313
00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:11,159
Speaker 2: instead of cursing them, he blessed the Israelites.

314
00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:12,800
Speaker 1: This happened three times.

315
00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:16,359
Speaker 2: The king was so furious he said, I didn't hire

316
00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:19,359
Speaker 2: you to bless them, I hired you to curse them.

317
00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:23,280
Speaker 2: Baalim said it again, I cannot curse what God has

318
00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:27,920
Speaker 2: already blessed. God was showing us that no matter how

319
00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:31,200
Speaker 2: hard people try, no matter what they say or do,

320
00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:35,440
Speaker 2: they cannot stop the blessing on your life. What God

321
00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:40,639
Speaker 2: has spoken over you overrides every negative voice, people telling

322
00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:41,680
Speaker 2: you what you can't do.

323
00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:43,959
Speaker 1: Bad breaks dysfunction.

324
00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:49,280
Speaker 2: This hand of blessing will break every generational curse, things

325
00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:52,080
Speaker 2: that keep getting passed down. Now this is a new day.

326
00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:57,159
Speaker 2: Freedom starts with you. Wholeness starts with you, Abundance starts

327
00:17:57,160 --> 00:18:01,240
Speaker 2: with you. Victory starts with you. The blessing on your

328
00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:04,040
Speaker 2: life is going to cause you to go where no

329
00:18:04,080 --> 00:18:07,240
Speaker 2: one in your family has gone. Forces that have held

330
00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:11,040
Speaker 2: you back are being broken right now. God is about

331
00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:14,800
Speaker 2: to release you into new levels of influence, new levels

332
00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:19,600
Speaker 2: of resources, new opportunities, new relationships. You're going to be

333
00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:22,959
Speaker 2: able to say, not as faith, but as fact. I

334
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:26,880
Speaker 2: am blessed, I am happy, I am fortunate, I am

335
00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:31,480
Speaker 2: to be endeed. I am prosperous, Joel, Nobody would ever

336
00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:33,960
Speaker 2: envy me. Man, I've had a lot of bad breaks.

337
00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:37,359
Speaker 2: I didn't have a good childhood. I'm struggling with this

338
00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:41,040
Speaker 2: addiction company let me go, or this friend walked out

339
00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:44,159
Speaker 2: of my life. That may be true, but that's not

340
00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:48,199
Speaker 2: how your story ends. The blessing on your life is

341
00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:50,520
Speaker 2: not just going to make up for what went wrong,

342
00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:51,680
Speaker 2: but it's going.

343
00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:55,080
Speaker 1: To catapult you ahead. Nobody is going to know what

344
00:18:55,119 --> 00:18:55,879
Speaker 1: you've been through.

345
00:18:56,359 --> 00:18:58,760
Speaker 2: When they look at you, you're going to be so blessed,

346
00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:01,680
Speaker 2: so healthy, so happy, so generous.

347
00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:02,840
Speaker 1: They're going to be envs.

348
00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:05,760
Speaker 2: Now you have to do your part and have a

349
00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:10,480
Speaker 2: blessed mindset. Can't go around thinking that your average you've

350
00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:14,440
Speaker 2: made too many mistakes, letting negative comments talk you out

351
00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:17,240
Speaker 2: of it. When you're tempted to think that way, you

352
00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:20,520
Speaker 2: need to close your eyes and see that hand of

353
00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:24,520
Speaker 2: God's blessing on your head. I have some friends that

354
00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:27,800
Speaker 2: live in another state. They were trying to sell their home.

355
00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:31,680
Speaker 2: The housing market in that area was very depressed. A

356
00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:34,439
Speaker 2: large company had gone out of business where many of

357
00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:38,119
Speaker 2: the employees lived. There were a surplus of homes for sale.

358
00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:41,920
Speaker 2: On their street alone, there were twelve houses on the market.

359
00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:45,040
Speaker 2: The average time for a house to sell was a

360
00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:48,320
Speaker 2: year and a half. Their relator had already told them

361
00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:51,040
Speaker 2: to not get in a hurry. It'd be a long process,

362
00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:54,800
Speaker 2: their value would probably go down. Didn't look good in

363
00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:59,120
Speaker 2: the natural, but God is supernatural. The blessing he put

364
00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:02,040
Speaker 2: on your life will cause the right people to come

365
00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:06,439
Speaker 2: to you instead of living discouraged, you know, just making

366
00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:10,680
Speaker 2: plans for defeat. Every morning, this young couple would say, Father,

367
00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:14,160
Speaker 2: thank you that you're causing our property to stand out.

368
00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:17,600
Speaker 2: Thank you that you're bringing us the right buyers. Six

369
00:20:17,680 --> 00:20:20,960
Speaker 2: weeks later, their agent brought them a contract for the

370
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:25,720
Speaker 2: full amount. At closing, the new owners told them that

371
00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:28,000
Speaker 2: they had looked at the other houses in the area,

372
00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:31,800
Speaker 2: all the houses on their street. Some were of better value,

373
00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:36,200
Speaker 2: a more desirable location, but they said, there's just something

374
00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:40,080
Speaker 2: about this house that stood out. We felt a peace here.

375
00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:43,359
Speaker 2: We knew it was supposed to be ours. That's the

376
00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:47,240
Speaker 2: blessing God put on you. It's on your property, on

377
00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:51,479
Speaker 2: your business, on your savings, on your children, on your health.

378
00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:54,640
Speaker 2: All those other neighbors, they were scratching their heads.

379
00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:58,240
Speaker 1: How did that happen? God knows how to make you envy.

380
00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:01,800
Speaker 2: He wants to bless you you so others see his

381
00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:06,200
Speaker 2: favor on your life. When the Israelites were in slavery,

382
00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:09,960
Speaker 2: the Phaarae wouldn't let them go, even though God kept

383
00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:12,920
Speaker 2: sending them the plagues. God said to the phaia rogue,

384
00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:16,439
Speaker 2: I have let you live for this one reason, so

385
00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:20,040
Speaker 2: you will see my power and my fame will spread

386
00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:23,960
Speaker 2: throughout the earth. Sometimes God will let you get in

387
00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:25,320
Speaker 2: a difficult situation.

388
00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:28,280
Speaker 1: Things you don't understand. It's not fair.

389
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:31,480
Speaker 2: That doesn't mean that you don't have the blessing. The

390
00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:34,639
Speaker 2: blessing is what's going to bring you out. God is

391
00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:38,080
Speaker 2: going to use that situation to show his power through you.

392
00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:42,520
Speaker 2: When people see how it turns around, how you defied

393
00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:45,679
Speaker 2: the odds, how you get a better position, how you

394
00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:48,280
Speaker 2: come out without the smell of smoke, they're going to

395
00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:51,720
Speaker 2: know the blessing is on your life. God will use

396
00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:55,639
Speaker 2: you to spread his fame. And God sent this huge

397
00:21:55,720 --> 00:22:00,399
Speaker 2: hellstorm on their oppressors. Verse twenty six says the only

398
00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:04,440
Speaker 2: spot without hell in all of Egypt was the land

399
00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:08,800
Speaker 2: of Goshen, where the Israelites lived. The blessing on your

400
00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:10,840
Speaker 2: life is a hedge of protection.

401
00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:14,639
Speaker 1: A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at

402
00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:15,360
Speaker 1: your right.

403
00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:18,399
Speaker 2: Hand, but the blessing will keep it from you. You

404
00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:21,600
Speaker 2: don't have to live worried, afraid of what might happen.

405
00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:24,760
Speaker 2: God has you in the palm of his hand. Nothing

406
00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:28,680
Speaker 2: can snatch you away. The Book of Job, God said

407
00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:31,160
Speaker 2: to Satan, have you seen my servant Job.

408
00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:33,480
Speaker 1: There's none like him in all the land.

409
00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:38,640
Speaker 2: He's faithful, he has integrity, he doesn't compromise. Satan answers

410
00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:42,920
Speaker 2: something that gives us great insight. He said, why shouldn't

411
00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:47,120
Speaker 2: he serve you. You've always protected him and his family,

412
00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:51,480
Speaker 2: his home, his property. You've made him prosper us in

413
00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:55,720
Speaker 2: everything he does. He was saying, you have this blessing

414
00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:59,280
Speaker 2: on his life that keeps me from him. And yes,

415
00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:02,760
Speaker 2: we all have difficulties, we all go through tough times.

416
00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:06,800
Speaker 2: But life with Job, the enemy can't touch you without

417
00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:11,000
Speaker 2: God's permission. God is in control, not just of your life,

418
00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:12,960
Speaker 2: He's in control of your enemies.

419
00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:16,440
Speaker 1: The apostle Paul experienced this blessing.

420
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:19,359
Speaker 2: He was on his way to Rome when he was

421
00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:21,280
Speaker 2: shipwrecked on a deserted island.

422
00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:24,200
Speaker 1: He went to pick up some wood to make a fire.

423
00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:28,280
Speaker 2: When he reached down, a poisonous snake bit his arm

424
00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:32,280
Speaker 2: as it hung there. The natives of the island knew

425
00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:33,800
Speaker 2: exactly what was going to happen.

426
00:23:34,240 --> 00:23:35,959
Speaker 1: They had seen it again and again.

427
00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:41,200
Speaker 2: The scripture says he should have swollen up, gotten sick.

428
00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:41,600
Speaker 1: And died.

429
00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:45,679
Speaker 2: They waited and waited whole time. Paul just went about

430
00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:49,680
Speaker 2: his business. Nobody told him he was supposed to die.

431
00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:53,480
Speaker 2: Nobody told him the snake was poisonous and he wasn't going.

432
00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:54,440
Speaker 1: To make it.

433
00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:57,679
Speaker 2: It's amazing what happens when we don't let fear and

434
00:23:58,040 --> 00:24:02,439
Speaker 2: doubt and negative thinking in as after watching him a

435
00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:06,760
Speaker 2: few hours, that snake not having any effect, they decided

436
00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:07,760
Speaker 2: that he was a god.

437
00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:11,000
Speaker 1: They weren't far off. He was a son of God.

438
00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:16,440
Speaker 2: It says he should have swollen up and died because

439
00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:19,040
Speaker 2: you have this hand of blessing, you're going to have

440
00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:23,680
Speaker 2: some should have that illness should have taken your life.

441
00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:26,920
Speaker 1: But you're a healthy at home. How you were raised.

442
00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:31,880
Speaker 2: Should have limited you, but you're successful, confident. That addiction

443
00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:35,720
Speaker 2: should have controlled you, but look at you now, free, clean,

444
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:40,080
Speaker 2: helping others. This pandemic should have taken you under, but

445
00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:43,600
Speaker 2: you're still standing. You should have been lonely, but God

446
00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:47,800
Speaker 2: said someone awesome. Isaac should have been stuck in the family,

447
00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:53,360
Speaker 2: but he saw uncommon increase. Robert should have been insecure, limited,

448
00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:56,800
Speaker 2: but he has four degrees. My mother should have lost

449
00:24:56,800 --> 00:24:59,240
Speaker 2: her life to cancer, but she's still here.

450
00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:02,879
Speaker 1: Forty one year years later, when we.

451
00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:07,199
Speaker 2: Were trying to acquire the Compact Center, the opposition was bigger, stronger.

452
00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:11,240
Speaker 2: They should have overpowered us, out maneuvered us. But like

453
00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:14,119
Speaker 2: David and a slingshot, we defeated the giant.

454
00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:19,000
Speaker 1: Get ready for some should haves. It's going to be unusual, uncommon.

455
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:21,280
Speaker 1: You couldn't have made it happen.

456
00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:26,720
Speaker 2: It's the hand of God's blessing showing out, making you

457
00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:29,840
Speaker 2: an example of his goodness. Other people are going to

458
00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:32,679
Speaker 2: see his favor on your life.

459
00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:32,960
Speaker 1: Now.

460
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:36,320
Speaker 2: Don't cancel it out by living negative thinking your problems

461
00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:40,600
Speaker 2: are too big. Here the disadvantage. You can't accomplish that dream.

462
00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:44,479
Speaker 2: That would be true for ordinary people. I would believe

463
00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:47,120
Speaker 2: that if you were average, But I know who you are.

464
00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:51,600
Speaker 2: Like the patriarchs of old laid hands on their children

465
00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:55,560
Speaker 2: and blessed them, the Most High God has placed his

466
00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:59,040
Speaker 2: hand a blessing on your head. It's a blessing that

467
00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:01,320
Speaker 2: will cause you to go where you can't go on

468
00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:05,359
Speaker 2: your own, to overcome what seems too big, to accomplish

469
00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:09,840
Speaker 2: dreams that look impossible all through the day. Just imagine

470

Speaker 1: If you will do this, I believe and declare.

474
00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:26,800

Speaker 2: you receive it, can you say amen, I'd like to

479
00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:46,080
Speaker 2: give you an opportunity to make Jesus the lord of

480
00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:50,280
Speaker 2: your life. Would you pray with me? Just say, Lord, Jesus,

481
00:26:51,359 --> 00:26:56,280
Speaker 2: I repent of my sins. Come into my heart. I'll

482
00:26:56,359 --> 00:26:57,240
Speaker 2: make you my lord.
