1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:03,160
Speaker 1: Hi, this is Joel and Victoria. Thanks for listening to

2
00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:06,360
Speaker 1: our podcast and thanks for supporting the ministry. If you

3
00:00:06,440 --> 00:00:09,040
Speaker 1: enjoy today's message, why don't you be a blessing and

4
00:00:09,080 --> 00:00:11,880
Speaker 1: share it with a friend, reappreciate you and pray for

5
00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:15,120
Speaker 1: God's very best in your life. God bless you and

6
00:00:15,160 --> 00:00:17,560
Speaker 1: it's great to be with you today, and I hope

7
00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:20,080
Speaker 1: you'll stay connected with us during the week through our

8
00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:24,160
Speaker 1: daily podcast, our YouTube channel, social media, and you can

9
00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:26,560
Speaker 1: come visit us in person. We'd love to have you

10
00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:28,920
Speaker 1: be a part of one of our services. But I

11
00:00:29,040 --> 00:00:31,280
Speaker 1: like to start with something funny, and I heard about

12
00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:35,120
Speaker 1: this elderly couple. They were sitting on a swing, celebrating

13
00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:39,120
Speaker 1: their sixtieth anniversary and feeling romantic. The husband said to

14
00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:42,920
Speaker 1: his wife, honey, our love is tried and true. She

15
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:46,160
Speaker 1: had difficulty hearing. Ask him to repeat it. He said

16
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:49,159
Speaker 1: it louder, I said, our love is tried and true.

17
00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:53,360
Speaker 1: She still couldn't hear him. Said what when't you speak up? Frustrated,

18
00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:57,040
Speaker 1: he shouted, I said our love is tried and true.

19
00:00:57,200 --> 00:01:01,800
Speaker 1: She said, well fine, I'm sick of you too say

20
00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:04,640
Speaker 1: it like you mean it. This is my Bible. I

21
00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:07,080
Speaker 1: am what it says I am. I have what it

22
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:09,520
Speaker 1: says I have. I can do what it says I

23
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:12,679
Speaker 1: can do. Today I will be taught the word of God.

24
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:17,679
Speaker 1: I boldly confess. My mind is alert, my heart is receptive.

25
00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:21,759
Speaker 1: I will never be the same. In Jesus' name, God

26
00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:25,319
Speaker 1: bless you. I want to talk to you today about

27
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:29,760
Speaker 1: a thousand times more. God's dream for your life is

28
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:32,720
Speaker 1: much bigger than your own. The places he's going to

29
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:35,560
Speaker 1: take you, the doors that are going to open, the

30
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:38,520
Speaker 1: people you're going to meet, are going to far exceed

31
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:43,759
Speaker 1: anything you thought. You're listening today to my one thousandth message.

32
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:46,559
Speaker 1: I didn't think I could do one message. I didn't

33
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:49,480
Speaker 1: know this was in me. What God has for you

34
00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:52,800
Speaker 1: is going to boggle your mind. The favor you're going

35
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:55,960
Speaker 1: to step into, the dreams you're going to accomplish, the

36
00:01:56,080 --> 00:02:00,720
Speaker 1: giants you're going to defeat. Moses said in Deuteronomy chapter one,

37
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:04,560
Speaker 1: May the Lord, God of your fathers make you a

38
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:08,919
Speaker 1: thousand times more than you are. God has a thousand

39
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:13,120
Speaker 1: times more blessing for you, a thousand times more joy,

40
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:18,840
Speaker 1: thousand times more influence, a thousand times more resources. That

41
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:22,239
Speaker 1: means you have plenty not only to pay off your house,

42
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:26,400
Speaker 1: but to pay off your family members' houses. Thousand times

43
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:29,480
Speaker 1: more opportunity. You're not hoping to get a good break.

44
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:33,720
Speaker 1: You have to choose which opportunity is the best. Thousand

45
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:37,240
Speaker 1: times more energy. You're not dragging through the day tired

46
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:41,920
Speaker 1: and run down. You're full of vitality, supernatural strength. You

47
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:46,160
Speaker 1: run and don't get weary. Now, the whole key is

48
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:49,720
Speaker 1: you have to receive this thousand times blessing. You have

49
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 1: to let it take root in your spirit, because in

50
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:55,839
Speaker 1: your mind it'll say there's no way this will never

51
00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:58,959
Speaker 1: happen for me. Joel, I don't have the talent, I

52
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:01,919
Speaker 1: don't come from the right place. Family, I've reached my limits.

53
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:05,360
Speaker 1: Tune all that out and get in agreement with God.

54
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:09,160
Speaker 1: One touch of his favor can make you a thousand

55
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 1: times more. One idea, one contract, one divine connection can

56
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:19,040
Speaker 1: catapult you further than you've ever dreamed. Imagine what the

57
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:22,880
Speaker 1: Israelites thought when they heard a thousand times more. They

58
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:27,200
Speaker 1: were former slaves, they'd been mistreated and taken advantage of.

59
00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:30,880
Speaker 1: Now they were wandering in the desert, no place to live.

60
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:34,360
Speaker 1: I'm sure they thought, Moses, you have the wrong people.

61
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:38,200
Speaker 1: Maybe that happened for the favor or his family, or

62
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 1: maybe the royalty in Ethiopia. They have influence, but we're

63
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:46,080
Speaker 1: stuck out here in the desert. God knew everything about them,

64
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:48,800
Speaker 1: he knew what they had been through, he knew what

65
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:52,200
Speaker 1: they didn't have, he knew how impossible it looked. Yet

66
00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 1: he still told them, get ready, I'm gonna make you

67
00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:58,880
Speaker 1: a thousand times more than you are. I'm going to

68
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 1: give you houses that you didn't deal. You're going to

69
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:04,680
Speaker 1: reap from vineyards that you didn't plan. And there was

70
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:08,840
Speaker 1: scarcity out in the desert, just enough to survive. But

71
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:11,600
Speaker 1: they were coming into a land where it took two

72
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 1: people to carry the cluster of grapes, a land of overflow, abundance,

73
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:21,480
Speaker 1: a thousand times more. God is not limited by your resources,

74
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:26,359
Speaker 1: your position, your background. He's bringing you into a wide

75
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:30,080
Speaker 1: and spacious place. Now, don't talk yourself out of it,

76
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:35,799
Speaker 1: talk yourself into it. Lord. I receive this thousand times blessing. Lord,

77
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:39,800
Speaker 1: thank you for a thousand times more influence, a thousand

78
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:45,119
Speaker 1: times more resources, a thousand times more creativity. Well, Joel,

79
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:47,880
Speaker 1: that's kind of far out. Yes, we serve a far

80
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:52,000
Speaker 1: out God and today is not for ordinary people. This

81
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:55,279
Speaker 1: is for radical believers. This is for people that'll take

82
00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:58,920
Speaker 1: the limits off of God and believe for the exceedingly

83
00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:03,480
Speaker 1: abundantly above and beyond favor that God has in store.

84
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:07,080
Speaker 1: I've seen this in my own life. I didn't think

85
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:09,719
Speaker 1: I could get up and minister. I told my father

86
00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:13,240
Speaker 1: for seventeen years that I wasn't a pastor, and one

87
00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:15,760
Speaker 1: Sunday he asked me to speak for him, just give

88
00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:18,480
Speaker 1: him a break, and I said that I would. I

89
00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:21,440
Speaker 1: sat down to write my first message, and it was

90
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:24,200
Speaker 1: so painful trying to think of what to say, and

91
00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:27,479
Speaker 1: I got through and thought, thank God, that's over. I'll

92
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:30,599
Speaker 1: never have to do it again. And it's not that

93
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:33,200
Speaker 1: I didn't want to. I just didn't think I was able,

94
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:37,159
Speaker 1: didn't have the training, I wasn't dynamic like my father.

95
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:40,960
Speaker 1: But when he passed that next week, I knew I

96
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:43,320
Speaker 1: was supposed to step up and pass to the church.

97
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:46,880
Speaker 1: And I spoke my second message and walked off the

98
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:51,359
Speaker 1: platform and thought, said, you're done. You have nothing to

99
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:54,760
Speaker 1: share next week. Your well is dry. And it seemed

100
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:58,279
Speaker 1: like the truth. But on that next Wednesday, when I

101
00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:01,200
Speaker 1: sat down to write my message, much to my surprise,

102
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:05,560
Speaker 1: something else came out. I did message number three, then

103
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:08,880
Speaker 1: Message twenty five, then two hundred and forty, then five

104
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:12,080
Speaker 1: hundred and sixty, then nine hundred and twenty. I can

105
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:15,520
Speaker 1: tell you today on my one thousand message that we

106
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 1: serve a God who can make you a thousand times

107
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:22,680
Speaker 1: more than you are. But if you'd have told me

108
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:26,280
Speaker 1: back when I was behind the scenes doing the television

109
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:29,120
Speaker 1: production that one day I would be a pastor and

110
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:32,240
Speaker 1: I would have a thousand messages and we would have

111
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:35,440
Speaker 1: church in a former basketball arena, I would have said,

112
00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:38,480
Speaker 1: you have the wrong person. There's no way that could happen.

113
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:43,159
Speaker 1: You don't know where God is taking you. Maybe you've

114
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:45,920
Speaker 1: only heard what you can't do and how you don't

115
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:49,320
Speaker 1: measure up or even your own thoughts like with me.

116
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:52,080
Speaker 1: You don't have what it takes. You're not as good

117
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:55,520
Speaker 1: as your father, Joel. Just accept where you are. Those

118
00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:58,360
Speaker 1: are all lies to try to keep you from the

119
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:02,440
Speaker 1: greatness God put in you. Receive this into your spirit

120
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:06,839
Speaker 1: because you are obedient. The Lord, God of your fathers

121
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:09,760
Speaker 1: is making you a thousand times more than you are,

122
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:15,560
Speaker 1: thousand times more successful, thousand times more influence, a thousand

123
00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:19,680
Speaker 1: times more wisdom. We hear that our mind goes till

124
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:23,240
Speaker 1: till that's impossible. You have to turn your mind all

125
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:26,440
Speaker 1: and let this take root down in your spirit. This

126
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:30,480
Speaker 1: is what faith is all about. One Kings, chapter fifteen.

127
00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:33,600
Speaker 1: There was a famine in Israel and the people were

128
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:37,600
Speaker 1: struggling to survive. God told the prophet Elijah to go

129
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:40,200
Speaker 1: to the city of Zeriphat, for there was a widow

130
00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:43,120
Speaker 1: that would take care of him. When he arrived, he

131
00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:46,680
Speaker 1: asked the woman to make him something to eat. She said, Sir,

132
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:49,920
Speaker 1: I'd love to, but all I have is enough flower

133
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:53,280
Speaker 1: and enough oil to make me and my son one

134
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:57,080
Speaker 1: last meal. She had already decided they were gonna eat,

135
00:07:57,160 --> 00:08:00,600
Speaker 1: and then that'd be it. She was done. I just said,

136
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 1: I understand, but please do me a favor and make

137
00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:06,720
Speaker 1: me a meal first, and then you and your son

138
00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:10,800
Speaker 1: can have what's left over. That seems so selfish. She

139
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:13,000
Speaker 1: could have said, who do you think you are not

140
00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:17,320
Speaker 1: gonna feed you? We're starving. But sometimes God will ask

141
00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:21,840
Speaker 1: you to do things that don't make sense. It's a test, Joel,

142
00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:24,480
Speaker 1: will you speak that first message even though you don't

143
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:28,679
Speaker 1: feel qualified, or will you forgive that person that doesn't

144
00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:32,000
Speaker 1: deserve it. Will you be good to that neighbor, even

145
00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:35,800
Speaker 1: when you need the funds. This woman had every right

146
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:38,520
Speaker 1: to turn him down, but she took that step of

147
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:42,080
Speaker 1: faith and cooked him a meal. First, she noticed in

148
00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:45,400
Speaker 1: those containers, even though she had used the flour and

149
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:49,559
Speaker 1: the oil, there was still some laughing. She thought, that's strange.

150
00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:52,600
Speaker 1: She made another meal the next day. There was still

151
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:56,760
Speaker 1: more flowered, more oil. When you do things God asks

152
00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:59,840
Speaker 1: you to do that don't make sense, when you obey,

153
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:03,400
Speaker 1: when you don't understand, God will do things that don't

154
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:07,640
Speaker 1: make sense. The oil and the flower never ran out

155
00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:11,480
Speaker 1: during the whole famine. It's significant that the famine was

156
00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:15,240
Speaker 1: three and a half years. That's over a thousand days.

157
00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:18,680
Speaker 1: She went from only enough for one meal to having

158
00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:22,360
Speaker 1: over one thousand meals. What happened, she came into the

159
00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:27,360
Speaker 1: thousand times more blessing. When you look at your circumstances

160
00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:30,319
Speaker 1: like this woman, you may think I don't have enough.

161
00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:34,920
Speaker 1: I don't have the talent, the strength, the finances. You're

162
00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:37,480
Speaker 1: looking at it in the natural. But we serve a

163
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:42,359
Speaker 1: supernatural God. He knows how to multiply, how to sustain,

164
00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:46,520
Speaker 1: how to open doors. He can part red seas. He

165
00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:49,120
Speaker 1: can bring water out of a rock. He can take

166
00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:52,120
Speaker 1: five loaves and feed a multitude. He can use a

167
00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:55,920
Speaker 1: slingshot to bring down a giant. He hasn't brought you

168
00:09:56,040 --> 00:10:01,319
Speaker 1: this far to leave you. He has supernatural provisions, supernatural healing,

169
00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:06,120
Speaker 1: supernatural breakthroughs. If you're going to see this thousand times

170
00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:11,320
Speaker 1: more blessing, it's important what voices you listened to. I

171
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:14,000
Speaker 1: got my nerve up and spoke my first sermon. My

172
00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:18,040
Speaker 1: father was so proud, beaming with joy. I never dreamed

173
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:20,560
Speaker 1: that would be the last Sunday of his life. He

174
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:22,839
Speaker 1: had a heart attack and went to be with the Lord.

175
00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:27,040
Speaker 1: I started speaking on the weekends. I was very unsure

176
00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:32,160
Speaker 1: of myself, nervous, intimidated. I knew everyone had come because

177
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:35,240
Speaker 1: of my father. Now I was up there and I

178
00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:39,040
Speaker 1: didn't have the experience of the training. The third message

179
00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:42,760
Speaker 1: I ever spoken. I was walking through the lobby that

180
00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:46,360
Speaker 1: Sunday after the service, and there were two older ladies

181
00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:48,440
Speaker 1: in front of me talking and they didn't know I

182
00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:52,160
Speaker 1: was behind him. One said he's not as good as

183
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:55,360
Speaker 1: his father. The other answered, yeah, I don't think the

184
00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:58,920
Speaker 1: church is gonna make it. That was the worst possible

185
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:01,840
Speaker 1: thing I could have heard. They might as well say it,

186
00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:05,000
Speaker 1: he's a loser, he should quit right now. I was

187
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:09,280
Speaker 1: already insecure, wondering if I could do it. The enemy

188
00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:14,480
Speaker 1: is strategic. He knows how to plant doubt, discouragement, inferiority

189
00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:18,840
Speaker 1: at just the right time. Often he'll use people. This

190
00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:22,400
Speaker 1: was a critical moment my destiny hung in the balance.

191
00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:25,560
Speaker 1: I was tempted to believe, then I'm not really good

192
00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:29,760
Speaker 1: at this. Nobody's gonna listen. It's gonna go downhill. Right

193
00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:32,839
Speaker 1: when I was about to agree with them, something rows

194
00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:36,160
Speaker 1: up in me like a fire, like a holy anger.

195
00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:39,920
Speaker 1: I thought to myself, you don't determine my destiny. You

196
00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:43,560
Speaker 1: didn't call me, you didn't anoint me. I am not

197
00:11:43,679 --> 00:11:46,480
Speaker 1: who you say I am. I am who God says

198
00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:50,400
Speaker 1: I am. I am favored. I am confident people like me.

199
00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:54,360
Speaker 1: I will become who I was created to be. That

200
00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:57,800
Speaker 1: was a destiny moment. I could have shrunk back and

201
00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:00,959
Speaker 1: believe what they said. I would have stop at message

202
00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:04,719
Speaker 1: number three, nine hundred and ninety seven. Messages would have

203
00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:08,599
Speaker 1: laid dormant, never being spoken, because I listened to the

204
00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:12,160
Speaker 1: wrong voices, tune out all the negative and get in

205
00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:16,400
Speaker 1: agreement with God. He said a thousand times more. He

206
00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:19,160
Speaker 1: says you will lend and not borrow. He said he's

207
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:22,440
Speaker 1: restoring health bucking to you. He said your children are

208
00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:25,760
Speaker 1: mighty in the land. He said, your latter days will

209
00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:29,280
Speaker 1: be better than your former day. Now, don't let wrong

210
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:32,800
Speaker 1: voices talk you out of it. Enemy would love to

211
00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:38,000
Speaker 1: keep you from your thousand times more. He'll use discouragement sometimes,

212
00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:40,320
Speaker 1: people that try to push you down. Man, you'll never

213
00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:43,640
Speaker 1: get well. I saw the medical report. You can't break

214
00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:46,200
Speaker 1: that addiction. You've had it for so long. You can't

215
00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:49,520
Speaker 1: lead your company. You don't have the talent. He wouldn't

216
00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:52,319
Speaker 1: be talking to you if he didn't know A thousand

217
00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:55,920
Speaker 1: times more is coming. God will give you grace for

218
00:12:56,000 --> 00:13:00,600
Speaker 1: every season. Like with me, you'll feel that fire knowing

219
00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:03,920
Speaker 1: that what's being said is not your destiny. That's when

220
00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:05,960
Speaker 1: you have to rise up and say, no, thanks, I

221
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:08,160
Speaker 1: am not who you say I am. I am who

222
00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:11,199
Speaker 1: God says I am. This is what my mother did

223
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:14,840
Speaker 1: when she was diagnosed with terminal liver cancer back in

224
00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:17,800
Speaker 1: nineteen eighty one and given a few weeks to live.

225
00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:22,280
Speaker 1: She was very sick, weighed eighty nine pounds. Medically speaking,

226
00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:26,080
Speaker 1: there was nothing more that could be done. Voices whispered

227
00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:28,880
Speaker 1: in the night. You can be buried in that new

228
00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:33,840
Speaker 1: red dress. She could have been depressed, gone around, defeated

229
00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:36,920
Speaker 1: all throughout the day. I would hear my mother quoting scriptures.

230
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:40,000
Speaker 1: I will live and not die by his stripes. I

231
00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:44,160
Speaker 1: am healed with long life. God will satisfy me. It

232
00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:47,199
Speaker 1: didn't happen overnight, but by little my mother got better

233
00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:51,000
Speaker 1: and better. It was forty three years ago. One report

234
00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:54,080
Speaker 1: said a few weeks to live, but my mother came

235
00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:58,480
Speaker 1: into that thousand times more blessing. Forty three years is

236
00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:03,679
Speaker 1: over fifteen thousand. God has some of these thousand times

237
00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:06,800
Speaker 1: more for you. The medical report may say just a

238
00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:10,480
Speaker 1: little while, but God has the final sayings. Why don't

239
00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:14,000
Speaker 1: you believe for a thousand times more? Those ladies said,

240
00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:17,160
Speaker 1: I was done at message number three, but a thousand

241
00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:23,360
Speaker 1: messages later, I'm still going strong. But often we look

242
00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:26,160
Speaker 1: at the medical report and what we don't have, and man,

243
00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:28,800
Speaker 1: these ladies are not for me. But when you come

244
00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:33,360
Speaker 1: into that thousand times blessing, supernatural things happen, things that

245
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:38,000
Speaker 1: you can't explain. In the scripture, Samson killed a thousand

246
00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:41,960
Speaker 1: enemies with the jawbone of a donkey. Not a sword,

247
00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:44,920
Speaker 1: not a rifle, not a slingshot, but with the jawbone.

248
00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:48,600
Speaker 1: How could that be? He had the thousand times more blessing.

249
00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:52,800
Speaker 1: With this blessing, you will defeat giants that are much bigger.

250
00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:57,280
Speaker 1: You will overcome the cancer, the addiction, the bad childhood.

251
00:14:57,760 --> 00:15:01,880
Speaker 1: You'll accomplish dreams that seemed him possible. There's a divine

252
00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:05,560
Speaker 1: empowerment on you to do things that seem far over

253
00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:09,440
Speaker 1: your head. The scripture talks about different levels of favor

254
00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:14,640
Speaker 1: and anointing. Elisha received a double portion of Elijah's anointing.

255
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:18,520
Speaker 1: Double is great. Talks about when you so accede, you

256
00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:23,120
Speaker 1: can receive a thirtyfold return, sixty fold, even one hundred fold.

257
00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:27,080
Speaker 1: One hundred times is amazing. But when God says I'm

258
00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:29,800
Speaker 1: gonna make you a thousand times more than you are,

259
00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:33,960
Speaker 1: he's talking about things that you can't imagine, things that

260
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:36,960
Speaker 1: you didn't see coming. If you're going to receive this

261
00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:41,200
Speaker 1: thousand times more, there has to be an expectancy, a

262
00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:44,080
Speaker 1: faith that says, God, I believe that you have greater

263
00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:48,320
Speaker 1: things for me. God gave David an incredible promise that

264
00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:51,400
Speaker 1: his family would always be on the throne and that

265
00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:54,920
Speaker 1: they would have a lasting dynasty was more than David

266
00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:59,120
Speaker 1: could imagine. He said in second Samuel seven, God, who

267
00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:02,240
Speaker 1: am I that you would do this? I'm just a shepherd.

268
00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:06,240
Speaker 1: I come from an ordinary family. He was so overwhelmed

269
00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:09,440
Speaker 1: and so amazed trying to take it all in. He

270
00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:12,720
Speaker 1: could have stopped there and thought, it seems impossible. I

271
00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:16,680
Speaker 1: don't see how that could happen. But David understood that

272
00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:19,880
Speaker 1: he had to get in agreement with God. The only

273
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:22,920
Speaker 1: promises that will come to pass in your life are

274
00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:26,880
Speaker 1: the promises that you let take root. David said in

275
00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:30,840
Speaker 1: verse twenty five, Lord, God of Israel, you have declared

276
00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:35,200
Speaker 1: this over me, and I am bold enough to pray it. God,

277
00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:39,600
Speaker 1: do what you promised concerning my family. He was saying,

278
00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:42,840
Speaker 1: this seems far out, but God, since you said it,

279
00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:46,920
Speaker 1: I'm in agreement. Let it happen. God is saying to

280
00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:50,200
Speaker 1: you today, I'm gonna make you a thousand times more

281
00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:53,600
Speaker 1: than you are. I'm going to open new doors. I'm

282
00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:57,000
Speaker 1: going to bring new people. You're gonna discover gifts you

283
00:16:57,040 --> 00:16:59,960
Speaker 1: didn't know We're in you. You're gonna step into favor,

284
00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:05,199
Speaker 1: leadership influence that you've never imagined. Now you can discount this.

285
00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:09,080
Speaker 1: I don't see how Joe looks impossible. You don't know

286
00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:14,200
Speaker 1: my background. David was a shepherd. The Israelites were former slaves.

287
00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:17,880
Speaker 1: Why don't you do like David and say, God, let

288
00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:20,959
Speaker 1: what you have spoken over my life come to pass.

289
00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:25,679
Speaker 1: I'll received the thousand times more blessing. You don't have

290
00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:28,959
Speaker 1: to figure out how. The how is not up to you.

291
00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:32,159
Speaker 1: All you have to do is believe. That's when the

292
00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:36,040
Speaker 1: creator of the universe goes to work. Moses was in

293
00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:40,000
Speaker 1: the desert one time. The Israelites started complaining about not

294
00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:43,800
Speaker 1: having any meat to eat. Had manna every morning. It's

295
00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:47,880
Speaker 1: something like bread. But they were tired of that. They said, Moses,

296
00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:50,680
Speaker 1: why'd you bring us out here in the desert to die?

297
00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:54,239
Speaker 1: We could have stayed in Egypt as slaves, but at

298
00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:57,440
Speaker 1: least we'd had some good food. God was so fed

299
00:17:57,520 --> 00:18:01,320
Speaker 1: up with them he told Moses the people, I'm going

300
00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:04,680
Speaker 1: to give them meat for a whole month. They were

301
00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:07,560
Speaker 1: out in the middle of the desert. Moses said, God,

302
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:11,200
Speaker 1: that's not possible. Even if we butchered all of our

303
00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:13,840
Speaker 1: flocks and all of our herds, we wouldn't have that

304
00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:18,480
Speaker 1: much meat. I love the way God answered back, He said, Moses,

305
00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:22,399
Speaker 1: when did I become weak? He was saying, have you

306
00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:26,680
Speaker 1: forgotten who I am? The all powerful creator of the universe.

307
00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:31,400
Speaker 1: Sometimes we look at our situations think a thousand times more?

308
00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:35,560
Speaker 1: How could that be possible? Here's where I work, Here's

309
00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:38,760
Speaker 1: what I make, Here's the family I come from. We're

310
00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:42,919
Speaker 1: telling God all the reasons it can't happen. God is saying,

311
00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:47,320
Speaker 1: when did I become weak? I spoke worlds into existence?

312
00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:50,760
Speaker 1: I shut the mouths of hungry lions. I gave Sarah

313
00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:54,240
Speaker 1: a baby at ninety years old. I opened prison doors

314
00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:58,160
Speaker 1: for Paul in silence. I healed Joel's mother of terminal cancer.

315
00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:01,960
Speaker 1: I change the council members and gave you the Compact Center.

316
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:06,520
Speaker 1: When God says I'm gonna make you a thousand times more,

317
00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:09,640
Speaker 1: he's not scratching his head trying to figure out how

318
00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:13,560
Speaker 1: He's not checking with your bank account, your education, the

319
00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:16,800
Speaker 1: family you came from. This is not dependent on what

320
00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:20,560
Speaker 1: you have. It's dependent on what he has. All he

321
00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:23,919
Speaker 1: needs from us is to obey and to take the

322
00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:27,120
Speaker 1: limits off of him. Lord, I'm in agreement with you

323
00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:30,960
Speaker 1: a thousand times more. He's two million people out in

324
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:35,240
Speaker 1: the desert. God shifted the winds and caused a huge

325
00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:39,000
Speaker 1: flock of quall to fly into the camp. The scripture

326
00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:42,720
Speaker 1: says no one gathered less than fifty bushels of quail.

327
00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:47,000
Speaker 1: They had meet for over a month. What's interesting is

328
00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:50,359
Speaker 1: quall normally wouldn't fly that far away from the water.

329
00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:53,479
Speaker 1: They would stay close to the shore. But when the

330
00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:57,280
Speaker 1: wind shifted, they were so strong that it blew them

331
00:19:57,400 --> 00:20:02,000
Speaker 1: into the Israelites camp. Shift and you'll see a thousand

332
00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:05,600
Speaker 1: times more. One shift and the quell will come looking

333
00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:09,000
Speaker 1: for you. They didn't have to go find it, go hunt.

334
00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:12,520
Speaker 1: God brought the provision to them. You don't have to

335
00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:16,960
Speaker 1: make this happen, force doors to open, manipulate people. No,

336
00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:20,920
Speaker 1: just keep honoring God and he'll bring the thousand times more.

337
00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:25,920
Speaker 1: He'll make things happen that you couldn't make happen. Moses said,

338
00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:29,280
Speaker 1: the Lord, God of your fathers, make you a thousand

339
00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:33,400
Speaker 1: times more than you are. This is implying a generational

340
00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:37,640
Speaker 1: blessing the God of your fathers. There is favor you're

341
00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:40,760
Speaker 1: going to see because of those that went before you.

342
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:44,280
Speaker 1: In your family line. You may have never met them,

343
00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:49,120
Speaker 1: but they honored God. They prayed, they served, they helped others,

344
00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:52,240
Speaker 1: but they didn't see the fullness of what they should have.

345
00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:57,520
Speaker 1: Some were overlooked and mistreated, not given what they deserved.

346
00:20:57,800 --> 00:21:01,280
Speaker 1: But they didn't complain. They weren't bitter. They just kept

347
00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:05,400
Speaker 1: doing the right thing. God is keeping the records. Part

348
00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:09,440
Speaker 1: of this thousand times more is payback for what should

349
00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:12,720
Speaker 1: have been your families. There are blessings that have been

350
00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:16,760
Speaker 1: stored up because of their faithfulness. Your relatives paid the

351
00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:19,879
Speaker 1: price for you to step into houses you didn't build,

352
00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:24,120
Speaker 1: vineyards that you didn't plan. As I speak my thousand

353
00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:28,359
Speaker 1: message today, I realized I didn't get here by myself.

354
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:31,680
Speaker 1: I could look back and see the faithfulness of those

355
00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:35,679
Speaker 1: that went before me. My parents pastored here for forty years.

356
00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:40,320
Speaker 1: I'm reaping seeds that they've suwn. My grandfather worked at

357
00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:44,680
Speaker 1: a refinery in Baytown for decades, never missed a day work.

358
00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:47,679
Speaker 1: When he retired, he'd come down to the church and

359
00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:51,560
Speaker 1: do repairs. I'd see him under the portable buildings, fixing

360
00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:55,880
Speaker 1: the plumbing. He was an orphan growing up. Nobody wanted him.

361
00:21:56,080 --> 00:22:00,439
Speaker 1: Passed from house to house. But today his grandchildren, his

362
00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:04,919
Speaker 1: great grandchildren, we're seeing favor because of him. God is

363
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:09,520
Speaker 1: releasing some of those stored up blessings. As a little boy,

364
00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:12,880
Speaker 1: I'd travel with my family during the summer to these

365
00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:16,399
Speaker 1: conferences where my father would speak. I would see him

366
00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:19,160
Speaker 1: up there in front of a couple thousand people, ministringing.

367
00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:23,480
Speaker 1: Everyone loved my dad. He was so strong and inspirational.

368
00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:26,240
Speaker 1: I would watch as a little boy and think, look

369
00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:29,439
Speaker 1: at my father, how can he do that? He's amazing.

370
00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:33,159
Speaker 1: I'd beam with joy in my mind. He was so

371
00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:36,960
Speaker 1: far above anything I could ever become, and I was

372
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:41,000
Speaker 1: fine with that. I loved celebrating my father, whose seventeen

373
00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:44,720
Speaker 1: years that I worked behind the scenes. My goal was

374
00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:47,919
Speaker 1: to make him look good, help him to shine. But

375
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:50,760
Speaker 1: you don't know what God has put in you. I

376
00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:52,800
Speaker 1: was in awe that he could speak to a couple

377
00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:56,439
Speaker 1: thousand were today through the media, I speak to a

378
00:22:56,600 --> 00:23:02,200
Speaker 1: thousand times more. Every day. I would be here honor

379
00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:05,879
Speaker 1: my father today. I wore his shoes. These are the

380
00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:11,720
Speaker 1: shoes that Victoria and I've bought him thirty seven years ago.

381
00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:15,920
Speaker 1: He wore them for many years, and when he passed,

382
00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:18,480
Speaker 1: I wore them that first year that I ministered in

383
00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:23,120
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety nine. Today, a thousand messages later, I can

384
00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:26,520
Speaker 1: say the God of my father's is a faithful god.

385
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:30,359
Speaker 1: He's taken me where I've never dreamed and brought things

386
00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:33,600
Speaker 1: out of me. I didn't know I had like that

387
00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:37,600
Speaker 1: widow with the meal every week. These messages just keep coming.

388
00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:41,080
Speaker 1: When my father wrote a book, it would sell about

389
00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:44,760
Speaker 1: ten thousand copies. I never thought I could write a book.

390
00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:48,240
Speaker 1: I barely passed the English in high school. Victoria was

391
00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:50,520
Speaker 1: always encouraged me to write woman. I thought, man, what

392
00:23:50,560 --> 00:23:54,040
Speaker 1: would I say? Eventually I wrote my first one, Your

393
00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:58,639
Speaker 1: Best Life. Now it's sold ten million copies, a thousand

394
00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:02,000
Speaker 1: times more than my father. And I'm not here to

395
00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:05,560
Speaker 1: brag on me. I'm bragging on the greatness of our God.

396
00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:09,199
Speaker 1: I want to light a new fire in you to

397
00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:12,639
Speaker 1: know that God has greater things. I can tell your

398
00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:16,320
Speaker 1: first hand he has a thousand times more for you.

399
00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:21,320
Speaker 1: Will you receive it? Will you start expecting, believing, praying

400
00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:25,399
Speaker 1: bold prayers. I get up every morning and I still think,

401
00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:28,480
Speaker 1: how did this happen? I didn't know this was in me.

402
00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:32,560
Speaker 1: Who knows where God is taking you? It's not depending

403
00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:36,280
Speaker 1: on your talent, your background, who you know. Keep your

404
00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:41,159
Speaker 1: heart pure before God, walk humbly before him. Let go

405
00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:45,440
Speaker 1: of things you know are holding your back. Compromise wrong people,

406
00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:50,320
Speaker 1: lack of integrity. Your destiny is too important. God is

407
00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:54,000
Speaker 1: looking for people he can trust with a thousand times more.

408
00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:57,560
Speaker 1: Not perfect people, but people that have a heart to

409
00:24:57,600 --> 00:25:01,640
Speaker 1: please him. I haven't worn these hughes in twenty four years.

410
00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:05,640
Speaker 1: One thing I've noticed this time is they don't fit

411
00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:09,639
Speaker 1: me anymore. Either the leather has shrunk up or my

412
00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:13,640
Speaker 1: feet have grown, but they're not comfortable. What I've come

413
00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:17,760
Speaker 1: to understand is they're not supposed to fit. What God

414
00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:21,080
Speaker 1: has for you is greater than those that went before you.

415
00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:27,320
Speaker 1: Honor them, show them respect, but don't settle where they were.

416
00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:32,080
Speaker 1: God is a progressive god. He wants every generation to increase.

417
00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:35,520
Speaker 1: Your parents, your family, they may have done well, but

418
00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:38,080
Speaker 1: the God of your father's is going to make you

419
00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:41,520
Speaker 1: a thousand times more than you are. Get ready for

420
00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:45,760
Speaker 1: something that you haven't seen. Favor you didn't deserve. Good

421
00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:49,600
Speaker 1: breaks that finds you quell. Coming into the camp, God

422
00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:53,800
Speaker 1: has some explosive blessings, blessings that will catapult you ahead

423
00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:58,520
Speaker 1: let me ask you, have you ever prayed this prayer? God,

424
00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:01,840
Speaker 1: make me a thousand times more than I am. That's

425
00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:06,240
Speaker 1: not being selfish, that's getting in agreement with God. Don't

426
00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:09,280
Speaker 1: go through life with a little vision thinking you've reached

427
00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:13,320
Speaker 1: your limits. Try a different approach every morning. Father, thank

428
00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:17,520
Speaker 1: you for a thousand times more. That's your faith being released.

429
00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:22,000
Speaker 1: That's what allows God to exceed your expectations. Now, on

430
00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:25,480
Speaker 1: my one thousandth message, I want to declare this over

431
00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:29,240
Speaker 1: you receive it into your spirit. May the Lord, God

432
00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:32,560
Speaker 1: of your fathers make you a thousand times more than

433
00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:36,960
Speaker 1: you are, a thousand times more influence, a thousand times

434
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:41,679
Speaker 1: more resources, a thousand times more strength, a thousand times

435
00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:45,560
Speaker 1: more fulfillment for the glory of God to build his

436
00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:49,760
Speaker 1: kingdom in Jesus' name. And if you receive it, can

437
00:26:49,840 --> 00:26:53,760
Speaker 1: you say amen? I'd like to give you an opportunity

438
00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:56,760
Speaker 1: to make Jesus the lord of your life. Would you

439
00:26:56,800 --> 00:27:00,760
Speaker 1: pray with me? Just say, Lord, Jesus, I repent of

440
00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:04,600
Speaker 1: my sins. Come into my heart. I make you my

441
00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:08,399
Speaker 1: Lord and savior. If you prayed that simple prayer, we

442
00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:11,280
Speaker 1: believe you got born again. We'd love to send you

443
00:27:11,359 --> 00:27:13,760
Speaker 1: some free information on your new walk with the Lord.

444
00:27:14,119 --> 00:27:16,400
Speaker 1: You can text the number on the screen or go

445
00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:18,919
Speaker 1: to the website. But I hope you'll get into a

446
00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:22,480
Speaker 1: good Bible based church and keep God first place.

447
00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:27,480
Speaker 2: It's a new year. Time to see the impossible become possible.

448
00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:31,080
Speaker 2: It's a new year. Life setbacks are about to become

449
00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:35,640
Speaker 2: God's setups for new opportunity. It's a new year cherished

450
00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:38,960
Speaker 2: dreams will become unexpected reality.

451
00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:41,320
Speaker 1: The start of the new year is the perfect time

452
00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:45,000
Speaker 1: to reset your focus, release disappointments of the past, and

453
00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:47,600
Speaker 1: get ready for the new things God has in store.

454
00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:51,280
Speaker 1: Every January we create a new three hundred and sixty

455
00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:54,840
Speaker 1: five day devotional calendar. I'd love to send it to you.

456
00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:59,600
Speaker 1: Each day is filled with inspiration, scripture, and uplifting declarations

457
00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:02,160
Speaker 1: to fuel o your faith. When you begin the day

458
00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:06,040
