She came to church one Sunday morning. 14 00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:48,720 Speaker 2: A friendly usher met her at the back door, said, ma'am, 15 00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:51,040 Speaker 2: where would you like to sit? She said, I want 16 00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:54,160 Speaker 2: to sit on the very first row. He said, oh, no, man, 17 00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:57,000 Speaker 2: you don't want to do that. Our pastor is very boring. 18 00:00:57,440 --> 00:00:59,760 Speaker 2: He'll put you to sleep. Let me see you somewhere else. 19 00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:02,880 Speaker 1: She looked at paulled said sir, do you know who 20 00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:05,720 Speaker 1: I am? He said no, ma'am. She said, I am 21 00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:09,400 Speaker 1: the pastor's mother. He hung his head in embarrassment. 22 00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:11,720 Speaker 2: He finally looked up and said, ma'am, do you know 23 00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:12,320 Speaker 2: who I am? 24 00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:17,319 Speaker 1: She said no. He said, Thank God, say it like 25 00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:17,840 Speaker 1: you mean it. 26 00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:20,880 Speaker 2: This is my Bible. I am what it says I am. 27 00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:23,680 Speaker 2: I have what it says I have. I can do 28 00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:26,240 Speaker 2: what it says I can do. Today I will be 29 00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:30,000 Speaker 2: talked the word of God. I boldly confess. My mind 30 00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:33,280 Speaker 2: is alert, my heart is receptive. I will never be 31 00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:37,759 Speaker 2: the same. In Jesus's name, God bless you. I want 32 00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:42,200 Speaker 2: to talk to you today about yes is coming. Sometimes 33 00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:45,560 Speaker 2: we've gone through so many no's that we get discouraged 34 00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:48,640 Speaker 2: and give up on our dreams. Maybe the loan didn't 35 00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:52,160 Speaker 2: go through, you didn't get the promotion, You tried to 36 00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:55,680 Speaker 2: break the addiction, but you couldn't do it. Young couple 37 00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:58,720 Speaker 2: told me how they've had four miscarriages, haven't. 38 00:01:58,480 --> 00:01:59,800 Speaker 1: Been able to have a baby. 39 00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:02,960 Speaker 2: You may have had a lot of nose in the past, 40 00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:04,880 Speaker 2: your dreams haven't come true. 41 00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:05,320 Speaker 1: Yet. 42 00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:08,440 Speaker 2: I believe God is saying this is going to be 43 00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:12,520 Speaker 2: a year of yes. Yes to the healing, Yes to 44 00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:15,360 Speaker 2: the promotion, Yes to the breakthrough. 45 00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:16,800 Speaker 1: Yes to having that baby. 46 00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:21,000 Speaker 2: What hasn't worked out in the past is suddenly going 47 00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:24,880 Speaker 2: to fall into place. Doors you thought were closed are 48 00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:29,600 Speaker 2: suddenly going to open. Dreams you've given up on promises, 49 00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:30,920 Speaker 2: you've let go of thought. 50 00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:34,520 Speaker 1: There's no way. God is about to make away. In 51 00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:35,480 Speaker 1: this year of Yes. 52 00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:39,320 Speaker 2: God is going to reverse the nose the times you've 53 00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:43,600 Speaker 2: been denied, turned down, told no, thanks, that's not the end, 54 00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:45,600 Speaker 2: It just wasn't the right time. 55 00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:47,240 Speaker 1: Yes is coming. 56 00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:51,520 Speaker 2: Yes to the dream you quit pursuing.

Yes to the 58 00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:57,080 Speaker 2: business you've been wanting to start. 59 00:02:57,560 --> 00:02:57,760 Speaker 1: Now. 60 00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:00,720 Speaker 2: People may tell you, no, you can't get well. Look 61 00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:03,640 Speaker 2: at the medical report. No, sorry, you don't have the 62 00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:07,240 Speaker 2: experience we need. No, you're not talented enough. Know that 63 00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:10,079 Speaker 2: idea is not going to work for us. Their no 64 00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:12,200 Speaker 2: doesn't cancel out God. 65 00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:12,600 Speaker 1: Yes. 66 00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:16,280 Speaker 2: Don't let them talk you out of your dreams. God 67 00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:20,080 Speaker 2: has the final say. He's saying, get ready for yes. 68 00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:25,519 Speaker 2: Yes to increase, Yes to freedom from the addiction, Yes 69 00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:30,000 Speaker 2: to see in your family restored, Yes to new opportunities. 70 00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:32,840 Speaker 2: God is going to put you at the right place 71 00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:37,000 Speaker 2: at the right time. He's going to send divine connections, 72 00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:39,520 Speaker 2: people that will go out of their way to be 73 00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:42,400 Speaker 2: good to you. You couldn't make it happen. It was 74 00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:46,680 Speaker 2: the favor of God bringing you into your Yes. I 75 00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:48,640 Speaker 2: talked to a lady that had been out of work 76 00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:53,400 Speaker 2: for over a year. She worked as an executive in cells, 77 00:03:53,960 --> 00:04:00,000 Speaker 2: very successful after many years, unexpectedly, her contract was not renewed. 78 00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:03,720 Speaker 2: She had an impressive resume and she applied at a 79 00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:07,200 Speaker 2: couple dozen companies, but no one was interested. She was 80 00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:11,560 Speaker 2: turned down again and again. Several months later, a company 81 00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:15,400 Speaker 2: called and asked her to come in for an interview, and. 82 00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:15,880 Speaker 1: She was excited. 83 00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:18,960 Speaker 2: It looked like something had finally opened up and the 84 00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:21,919 Speaker 2: interview went well. She thought she had it, but they 85 00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:24,720 Speaker 2: called back and said she just wasn't the right fit. 86 00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:29,000 Speaker 2: This happened four more times where she went in and interviewed, 87 00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:31,040 Speaker 2: looked like she was the front runner. 88 00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:33,520 Speaker 1: Then she was told no, one No. 89 00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:37,839 Speaker 2: After another few months later, a company from out of 90 00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:38,800 Speaker 2: state called. 91 00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:40,400 Speaker 1: They were very interested. 92 00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:44,120 Speaker 2: It was between her and another man, and she flew 93 00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:46,919 Speaker 2: to that city for an interview. On the way to 94 00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:50,800 Speaker 2: the office, the taxi cab driver struck up a conversation. 95 00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:54,200 Speaker 2: She was very friendly and told how she was there 96 00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:57,040 Speaker 2: to go on a job interview and how she had 97 00:04:57,080 --> 00:05:00,160 Speaker 2: been praying and believing that something would open up. Out 98 00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:02,920 Speaker 2: of all the offers, this was the one she wanted 99 00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:05,840 Speaker 2: the very most. He dropped her off and told her 100 00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:07,680 Speaker 2: that he was pulling for that. 101 00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:09,520 Speaker 1: He believed that she was going to get it. 102 00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:14,359 Speaker 2: Later that day, the lady that interviewed her had to 103 00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:18,039 Speaker 2: catch a plane. It just so happened this same man 104 00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:21,000 Speaker 2: came back to the office and picked her up when 105 00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:22,520 Speaker 2: she called for a taxi. 106 00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:24,320 Speaker 1: Being the friendly taxi. 107 00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:26,760 Speaker 2: Cab driver that he was, he asked her how her 108 00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:30,640 Speaker 2: day was going. She explained how she had been interviewing 109 00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:34,440 Speaker 2: two people, a man and a woman, and couldn't decide 110 00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:38,479 Speaker 2: between the two. The taxicab driver said, let me tell 111 00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:39,520 Speaker 2: you who you should pick. 112 00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:41,640 Speaker 1: She said, what do you mean? 113 00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:44,480 Speaker 2: He said, I picked up that lady you interviewed and 114 00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:48,239 Speaker 2: brought her this morning, and you won't find a better person. 115 00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:52,520 Speaker 2: She's smart, she's talented, she's articulate. Plus she wants to 116 00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:55,839 Speaker 2: work for you. He went on and on, singing her praises. 117 00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:59,000 Speaker 2: The lady said, you know what, I just made my decision. 118 00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:02,360 Speaker 2: When he called the lady in the other state and 119 00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:04,360 Speaker 2: told her that she got the position. 120 00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:07,599 Speaker 1: She said, if you ever see that taxicab. 121 00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:10,160 Speaker 2: Driver again, You need to thank him because he's the 122 00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:11,320 Speaker 2: reason I chose you. 123 00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:13,600 Speaker 1: What are the chances in. 124 00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:17,960 Speaker 2: A large city that the same taxicab driver would pick 125 00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:22,000 Speaker 2: up both ladies. That wasn't a coincidence. That was the 126 00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:25,919 Speaker 2: hand of God. In this year of Yes, God is 127 00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:27,840 Speaker 2: going to have the right people. 128 00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:30,359 Speaker 1: Put in a good word for you. You may not 129 00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:34,000 Speaker 1: think you have the connections. Don't worry. You have friends 130 00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:35,159 Speaker 1: in high places. 131 00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:38,640 Speaker 2: God is not only guiding and directing your steps. 132 00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:40,960 Speaker 1: He's lining up the people you need. 133 00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:45,200 Speaker 2: He's arranging things in your favor. Paul said in Second 134 00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:50,400 Speaker 2: Corinthians from the message translation, whatever God has promised gets 135 00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:54,880 Speaker 2: stamped with yes. That means the dreams God's placed in 136 00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:58,880 Speaker 2: your heart, the promises He's spoken over you have already 137 00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:00,000 Speaker 2: been stamped with you. 138 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:00,359 Speaker 3: Yes. 139 00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:04,320 Speaker 2: God has already set the date to bring it to pass. 140 00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:08,280 Speaker 2: It's already on the schedule. But there's one more thing 141 00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:12,120 Speaker 2: that God needs. It goes on to say, God, Yes 142 00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:17,880 Speaker 2: with our yes together makes it a sure thing. God 143 00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:21,600 Speaker 2: is saying yes now he needs your yes to make 144 00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:26,360 Speaker 2: it happen. God Yes by itself is not enough. God 145 00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:29,760 Speaker 2: works where there's faith. If this lady would have gone 146 00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:33,320 Speaker 2: around thinking I'll never get the position. Nothing good ever 147 00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:36,200 Speaker 2: happens to me that would have kept it from happening. 148 00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:40,280 Speaker 2: When it comes to God, be a yes man, be 149 00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:41,120 Speaker 2: a yes woman. 150 00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:45,360 Speaker 1: God says he's restoring health back into you. 151 00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:47,440 Speaker 2: You can think of all the reasons why you're not 152 00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:50,240 Speaker 2: going to get well, or you can be a yes man, 153 00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:53,880 Speaker 2: Yes God, I agree, think you that I'm getting healthier, 154 00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:57,280 Speaker 2: thank you that I'm getting stronger. God said in Psalm 155 00:07:57,360 --> 00:08:00,680 Speaker 2: sixty five that he's going to crown your year with 156 00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:04,920 Speaker 2: a bountiful harvest. You can go around not expecting good breaks, 157 00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:08,240 Speaker 2: not expecting to get ahead, or you can be a 158 00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:12,160 Speaker 2: yes man, Yes God, I agree, thank you that it's 159 00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:17,200 Speaker 2: going to be a blessed, prosperous, abundant, bountiful year. That's 160 00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:20,920 Speaker 2: not just being positive, that's putting your yes with God. 161 00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:23,680 Speaker 1: Yes, God said, what was. 162 00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:26,720 Speaker 2: Meant for your harm, He's going to turn and use 163 00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:30,200 Speaker 2: to your advantage. You can dwell on all your hurts, 164 00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:32,320 Speaker 2: what didn't work out, the people that did. 165 00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:36,319 Speaker 1: You wrong, or you can be a yes man, Yes God, 166 00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:39,640 Speaker 1: I agree. Thank you for beauty for these ashes. 167 00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:42,079 Speaker 2: Thank you that you're my vindicator, thank you that you're 168 00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:47,120 Speaker 2: fighting my battles. Is God waiting for your yes? Are 169 00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:51,120 Speaker 2: you letting the nose? The disappointments, the delays convince you 170 00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:53,880 Speaker 2: that it's not going to happen. You may not have 171 00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:57,200 Speaker 2: seen it yet, but this is a new day. You 172 00:08:57,280 --> 00:09:00,880 Speaker 2: are coming into a year of yes. I'm asking you 173 00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:04,920 Speaker 2: to put your yes with God, yes, and watch what happens. 174 00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:08,319 Speaker 2: There was a young lady in the scripture named Hannah. 175 00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:11,439 Speaker 2: She was married to a man, but she wasn't able 176 00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:15,599 Speaker 2: to have children. She kept praying and believing, but the 177 00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:19,120 Speaker 2: scripture says the Lord had shut Hannah's wound. 178 00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:21,560 Speaker 1: Year after year went by. 179 00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:24,760 Speaker 2: She was so discouraged, didn't look like she'd ever be 180 00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:28,120 Speaker 2: able to have a baby. To make matters worse, her 181 00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:30,480 Speaker 2: husband was married to another woman. 182 00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:32,920 Speaker 1: As well, and she kept having children. 183 00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:37,240 Speaker 2: She didn't have any problem conceiving, and this other wife 184 00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:40,319 Speaker 2: would make fun of Hannah, try to make her feel 185 00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:41,880 Speaker 2: like she was inferior. 186 00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:44,720 Speaker 1: Something was wrong with her, and Hannah would end up 187 00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:46,360 Speaker 1: in tears. So upset. 188 00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:49,520 Speaker 2: One day, Hannah went to the temple and she was 189 00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:52,520 Speaker 2: crying and asking God to give her a baby, and 190 00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:54,560 Speaker 2: the prophet Eli. 191 00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:56,079 Speaker 1: Saw and asked what was wrong. 192 00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:59,640 Speaker 2: She explained how she was barn and she was asking 193 00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:03,520 Speaker 2: God to open up her wound. Eli said, cheer up. 194 00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:07,040 Speaker 2: The God of Israel has granted your request. 195 00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:10,520 Speaker 1: You're going to have a baby. Hannah went back home 196 00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:13,920 Speaker 1: like a different person. She had a spring in her step, 197 00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:15,880 Speaker 1: a smile on her face. 198 00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:20,120 Speaker 2: On the outside, nothing had changed, no baby, no sign 199 00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:23,959 Speaker 2: of a child. But on the inside she put her 200 00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:25,240 Speaker 2: yes with God. 201 00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:25,600 Speaker 1: Yes. 202 00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:28,720 Speaker 2: At that point she believed she was going to have 203 00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:32,400 Speaker 2: a baby. When that other wife made fun of her, 204 00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:35,920 Speaker 2: too bad, Hannah, you'll never have a child. Instead of 205 00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:40,240 Speaker 2: getting upset, instead of crying, her new attitude was I 206 00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:44,480 Speaker 2: may have had some nose, but I have some inside information. 207 00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:48,439 Speaker 1: I know my yes is coming. The God of Israel 208 00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:49,680 Speaker 1: has spoken it over me. 209 00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:52,800 Speaker 2: I may not see it yet, but I walk by 210 00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:54,319 Speaker 2: faith and not by sight. 211 00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:56,240 Speaker 1: I know my baby is coming. 212 00:10:57,160 --> 00:11:00,240 Speaker 2: A year later, she went back to the temple with 213 00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:05,560 Speaker 2: her baby boy, Samuel. She came in to her yes like, Hannah, 214 00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:08,440 Speaker 2: you may have had a lot of nose. People have 215 00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:11,160 Speaker 2: tried to discourage you, make you think that it's never 216 00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:11,959 Speaker 2: going to happen. 217 00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:15,280 Speaker 1: You need to get ready. Your yes is coming. 218 00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:20,080 Speaker 2: The same God that shut Hannah's womb opened Hannah's womb. 219 00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:24,040 Speaker 2: God may have said no in the past doesn't mean 220 00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:27,040 Speaker 2: it's going to be no in the future. Just as 221 00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:30,680 Speaker 2: God turned Hannah's no into a yes, God is going 222 00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:33,920 Speaker 2: to turn around some nose for you. Will you do 223 00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:37,600 Speaker 2: like Hannah and start acting like what God told you 224 00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:41,640 Speaker 2: is going to happen. All Hannah had was a word 225 00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:44,400 Speaker 2: from the prophet that she was going to have a baby. 226 00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:48,120 Speaker 2: She didn't have an ultrasound, she didn't have a pregnancy's test, 227 00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:50,720 Speaker 2: She just had what Eli said to her. 228 00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:52,240 Speaker 1: He could have been wrong. 229 00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:55,960 Speaker 2: You have something so much more powerful. You have the 230 00:11:56,080 --> 00:12:00,520 Speaker 2: promise from the God who spoke worlds into existence, saying, 231 00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:04,400 Speaker 2: if you'll put your yes with my yes, I'll turn 232 00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:09,440 Speaker 2: the nose around. Those situations that seem permanent, the addiction 233 00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:12,959 Speaker 2: you've dealt with for years, health issue that won't go away, 234 00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:16,720 Speaker 2: or maybe a struggle in your finances seems like your stuff. 235 00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:20,280 Speaker 2: Thoughts tell you just accept the nose, just get used 236 00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:20,600 Speaker 2: to it. 237 00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:24,720 Speaker 1: Don't believe those lies. God is about to open up 238 00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:27,720 Speaker 1: your wound. What you've been dreaming about. 239 00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:30,800 Speaker 2: That child, to get back on course, that business, to 240 00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:33,760 Speaker 2: take off, that person to spend your life with. You 241 00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:36,600 Speaker 2: need to get ready, Your time is coming, Your. 242 00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:38,080 Speaker 1: Yes is headed your way. 243 00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:42,400 Speaker 2: A young lady I know was working as a news reporter. 244 00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:46,000 Speaker 2: She was in her early twenties. She had a problem 245 00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:49,600 Speaker 2: with her skin. She had real bad rosation. When she 246 00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:52,760 Speaker 2: was out filming a report. If she sweated or accidentally 247 00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:55,720 Speaker 2: touched her face rubbed her makeup off, that red would 248 00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:59,760 Speaker 2: shine through so brightly looked really bad. She couldn't find 249 00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:02,920 Speaker 2: any makeup that would cover it up, and last she 250 00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:05,400 Speaker 2: ended up quitting her job as a news reporter. 251 00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:07,440 Speaker 1: She started working on. 252 00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:10,200 Speaker 2: A new makeup line that would fix her problem. 253 00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:14,240 Speaker 1: She developed a product that she really liked. She believed 254 00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:15,400 Speaker 1: it would be successful. 255 00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:18,920 Speaker 2: She and her husband went to bank after bank trying 256 00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:22,320 Speaker 2: to get funding, but they were turned down again and again. 257 00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:26,880 Speaker 2: Her husband started a website so you could order the product. 258 00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:29,640 Speaker 2: It was up for weeks and weeks with no activity, 259 00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:33,720 Speaker 2: no orders. Finally, an order came through. She went running 260 00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:36,000 Speaker 2: to her husband said, look, we got our first order. 261 00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:37,360 Speaker 1: He said, no, that was me. 262 00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:41,559 Speaker 2: I was just testing the website. She knew God had 263 00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:44,400 Speaker 2: put this dream in her heart, but all she kept 264 00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:49,560 Speaker 2: getting were no's. Her goal was to somehow get on 265 00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:54,760 Speaker 2: a home shopping channel like QVC for years, she sent 266 00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:58,360 Speaker 2: them product, she met with representative trying to make. 267 00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:01,520 Speaker 1: It happen, but it didn't work out. They were down 268 00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:04,640 Speaker 1: to their last thousand dollars. Didn't know what she was 269 00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:05,199 Speaker 1: going to do. 270 00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:09,120 Speaker 2: She went to a large cosmetic convention. All of the 271 00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:11,760 Speaker 2: major companies were there and she had a three foot 272 00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:14,480 Speaker 2: booth where she was showing people her product. 273 00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:18,360 Speaker 1: Across the way, QVC had a huge booth. 274 00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:22,120 Speaker 2: This older lady came over and said, Honey, I love 275 00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:25,960 Speaker 2: your product. I'm going to tell my buyers at QVC, 276 00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:27,200 Speaker 2: we need. 277 00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:28,440 Speaker 1: To have you on our channel. 278 00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:32,720 Speaker 2: That lady was an on air personality that had been 279 00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:36,640 Speaker 2: there for over seventeen years. She used her influence to 280 00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:40,720 Speaker 2: open the door. This young lady went on QVC. Her 281 00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:44,960 Speaker 2: product was a huge hit. Today, our friend Jamie Kern, 282 00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:49,360 Speaker 2: the founder of IT Cosmetics, goes on QVC two hundred 283 00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:52,240 Speaker 2: times a year. Her company has become one of the 284 00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:57,400 Speaker 2: largest cosmetic companies in the world. But like Hannah, for years, 285 00:14:57,520 --> 00:15:00,440 Speaker 2: it was as if the wound was shut up. No 286 00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:05,320 Speaker 2: good breaks, no favor, very little progress. Then one day 287 00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:09,640 Speaker 2: she came into her Yes, that one good break thrust 288 00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:14,200 Speaker 2: her further than she ever imagined. Years later, she was 289 00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:16,640 Speaker 2: talking to the lady that put in a good word 290 00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:18,720 Speaker 2: for her that day, and she asked. 291 00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:19,480 Speaker 1: Her why she did it. 292 00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:22,160 Speaker 2: The lady said, well, I like your product, but it 293 00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:25,360 Speaker 2: wasn't about the cosmetics. When I saw you that day, 294 00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:27,600 Speaker 2: I felt like God said. 295 00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:31,160 Speaker 1: To me, go help that young lady. God has the 296 00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:33,080 Speaker 1: right people lined up for you. 297 00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:37,840 Speaker 2: In this year of Yes, You're going to see doors 298 00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:41,480 Speaker 2: open that you haven't been able to open for years. 299 00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:45,760 Speaker 2: The dream God has placed in your heart has already 300 00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:50,160 Speaker 2: been stamped with yes. Are you adding your yes to God? 301 00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:50,520 Speaker 1: Yes? 302 00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:54,760 Speaker 2: Are you doing like Hannah and thanking God even though 303 00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:58,440 Speaker 2: you don't see anything happening? Will you be bold enough 304 00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:01,840 Speaker 2: to believe that you're still going to give birth even 305 00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:05,680 Speaker 2: though it feels like your womb has been shut? Heaven 306 00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:09,720 Speaker 2: is saying yes, Yes to your dream, Yes to your healing, 307 00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:13,440 Speaker 2: Yes to the freedom, yes to the breakthrough. Well, Joel, 308 00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:17,120 Speaker 2: this sounds good today. It's encouraging, but I don't think 309 00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:18,640 Speaker 2: I'm going to have a year of yes. 310 00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:20,160 Speaker 1: I've had so many no's. 311 00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:24,560 Speaker 2: You're right where Hannah was the problem is, if you 312 00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:28,720 Speaker 2: keep adding your no to God, yes, you can cancel 313 00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:33,200 Speaker 2: out what God has in store. Other peoples know cannot 314 00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:36,200 Speaker 2: stop you. What they say, what they do. They don't 315 00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:40,440 Speaker 2: control your destiny. The enemies know cannot stop you. What 316 00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:45,480 Speaker 2: you believe is what matters. God needs your yes. He 317 00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:48,920 Speaker 2: has amazing things in your future. He's going to give 318 00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:52,320 Speaker 2: you more influence and favor than you've ever imagined. 319 00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:54,120 Speaker 1: Now keep adding the yes. 320 00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:58,040 Speaker 2: Thoughts may tell you no, circumstances may tell you it's 321 00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:02,440 Speaker 2: never going to happen. But you're yes, and God's yes 322 00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:07,600 Speaker 2: makes it a sure thing. Why Because God controls the universe, 323 00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:11,639 Speaker 2: one touch of his favor can turn a no into 324 00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:12,120 Speaker 2: a yes. 325 00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:14,480 Speaker 1: From no, we don't need you to yes. 326 00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:17,359 Speaker 2: You have the position from no you'll never get well, 327 00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:20,920 Speaker 2: to good news you'll cancer free, from going to interview 328 00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:24,480 Speaker 2: to interview with no success, to having a taxi cab 329 00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:26,600 Speaker 2: driver put in a good word for you. 330 00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:29,399 Speaker 1: Friends. You need to get ready. Your yes is on 331 00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:30,200 Speaker 1: the way. 332 00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:33,280 Speaker 2: Like Hannah, God is about to open up your wound. 333 00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:37,359 Speaker 2: The Book of Second Kings, it was a king named 334 00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:41,760 Speaker 2: Hezekiah that was told no. But his no didn't come 335 00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:45,480 Speaker 2: from people, It came from God. He was very sick, 336 00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:49,919 Speaker 2: close to death. His mentor, the prophet Isaiah, came to 337 00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:53,399 Speaker 2: the palace to see him. Isaiah was called the eagle 338 00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:56,240 Speaker 2: eye prophet. He was the one that spoke for God. 339 00:17:56,440 --> 00:18:01,320 Speaker 2: He didn't make mistakes. I can imagine when Hezekiah heard 340 00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:05,679 Speaker 2: the news that Isaiah was at the palace, he brightened up, thinking, 341 00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:08,520 Speaker 2: maybe there's hope. Maybe he's going to pray for me 342 00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:10,840 Speaker 2: and I'm going to get well, or maybe he'll give 343 00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:14,760 Speaker 2: me an encouraging word that I can stand on. Isaiah 344 00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:17,800 Speaker 2: came in, said King Hezekiah, I have a word from 345 00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:22,200 Speaker 2: the Lord for you. Hezekiah leaned in closer. Isaiah said, 346 00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:25,679 Speaker 2: the Lord says, set your house in order, for you 347 00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:30,160 Speaker 2: will surely die. He didn't say you might die. Isekiah 348 00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:32,879 Speaker 2: doesn't look too good. Maybe you'll pull through. He said, 349 00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:34,320 Speaker 2: you will surely die. 350 00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:39,200 Speaker 1: What do you do when God says no. Heekiah could 351 00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:41,560 Speaker 1: have thought, well, too bad for me. I'm done. No 352 00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:42,480 Speaker 1: use even trying. 353 00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:47,280 Speaker 2: The scripture says Hezekiah turned his face to the wall 354 00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:51,920 Speaker 2: and started praying. He reminded God how he had served him, 355 00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:54,960 Speaker 2: how he'd torn down the pagan altars, and how he'd 356 00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:58,399 Speaker 2: set a new standard for his family. He asked God 357 00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:02,520 Speaker 2: for his mercy to give him more years. His attitude 358 00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:05,880 Speaker 2: was if I die, I'm gonna die asking for the yes. 359 00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:11,720 Speaker 2: Before Isaiah could leave the palace grounds, God said to him, Isaiah, 360 00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:15,919 Speaker 2: go back to Hezekiah and tell him I've heard his 361 00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:20,520 Speaker 2: prayers and I've changed my mind. I'm gonna add fifteen 362 00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:25,080 Speaker 2: years to his life. Even when you feel like God 363 00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:29,320 Speaker 2: has said no, if you'll dare, do like Hezekiah and 364 00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:33,639 Speaker 2: ask God for the yes, your faith can cause God 365 00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:34,879 Speaker 2: to change his mind. 366 00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:38,040 Speaker 1: And in this year of Yes, God is going. 367 00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:42,080 Speaker 2: To reverse some nose mistakes that you've made. God is 368 00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:46,200 Speaker 2: going to correct them and give you another chance. Opportunities 369 00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:49,040 Speaker 2: that you've missed. He's going to bring them back across 370 00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:52,080 Speaker 2: your path. The things that have been a struggle, the 371 00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:56,840 Speaker 2: constant pressure is going to suddenly turn around. Hezekiah and 372 00:19:56,960 --> 00:20:00,160 Speaker 2: Hannah both faced situations. 373 00:19:59,359 --> 00:19:59,879 Speaker 1: Where God s. 374 00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:05,040 Speaker 2: God shut Hannah's wound, told Hezekiah that he was done. 375 00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:08,760 Speaker 2: Hannah went to the temple and asked for a baby. 376 00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:14,600 Speaker 2: Hezekiah asked for more years. The common denominator was they 377 00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:16,120 Speaker 2: both asked for yes. 378 00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:17,840 Speaker 1: In the face of no. 379 00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:22,720 Speaker 2: Every circumstance said forget it. God said no, just live 380 00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:27,360 Speaker 2: with it. Their attitude was God. We know you controlled 381 00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:30,240 Speaker 2: the universe, and even though this seems like a no 382 00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:34,320 Speaker 2: to us, we're asking in your great mercy to change 383 00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:38,240 Speaker 2: your mind and give us a yes. Are you bold 384 00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:41,399 Speaker 2: enough to ask for a yes? Even though all you 385 00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:45,880 Speaker 2: keep getting are nose? Jesus told a parable in Loke 386 00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:49,439 Speaker 2: twelve about a widow woman that went to see a 387 00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:52,520 Speaker 2: judge to try to get relief from someone that had 388 00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:53,440 Speaker 2: done her harm. 389 00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:57,320 Speaker 1: He was an unjust judge. He wasn't fair, He didn't 390 00:20:57,359 --> 00:20:59,920 Speaker 1: listen to the lady, didn't give her the time of day. 391 00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:03,760 Speaker 2: He just dismissed her and sent her away. The next day, 392 00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:07,600 Speaker 2: the lady was right back in his courtroom asking for justice. 393 00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:11,520 Speaker 2: The judge said, lady, didn't I tell you no yesterday? 394 00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:14,840 Speaker 1: She said, yes, you did. But I'm not going to 395 00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:17,440 Speaker 1: leave you alone until you give me a yes. 396 00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:20,040 Speaker 2: He had her put out again. She came back the 397 00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:23,199 Speaker 2: next day, and the next and the next asking for justice, 398 00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:28,199 Speaker 2: pleading her case. Finally, that judge got so frustrated he 399 00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:32,360 Speaker 2: said in verse five, this woman is driving me crazy. 400 00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:35,399 Speaker 1: That's a message all on his own. That's next week. 401 00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:38,639 Speaker 2: He went on to say, I'm going to see that 402 00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:42,639 Speaker 2: she gets justice. Because she is wearing me down with 403 00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:44,120 Speaker 2: her constant request. 404 00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:47,919 Speaker 1: She kept asking for yes in the face of no. 405 00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:51,399 Speaker 2: If you're going to see your yes, you have to 406 00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:55,200 Speaker 2: be determined. If you accept the first no, you weren't 407 00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:59,520 Speaker 2: serious about it. The nos are a test. God wants 408 00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:01,840 Speaker 2: to see how how bad do you want it? If 409 00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:05,320 Speaker 2: you get discouraged, give up. You didn't want it badly enough. 410 00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:08,840 Speaker 2: You have to do like this woman. Keep asking, keep praying, 411 00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:13,000 Speaker 2: keep believing, keep dreaming, keep hoping. If one door closes, 412 00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:16,680 Speaker 2: try another door. One company says no, try another company. 413 00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:20,359 Speaker 2: If one bank turns you down, try another bank. Friend 414 00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:22,960 Speaker 2: of mine wanted to start his business. He was turned 415 00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:26,639 Speaker 2: down by thirty one banks thirty one times. He was 416 00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:30,600 Speaker 2: told no, sorry, we can't help you. Doesn't seem like 417 00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:34,400 Speaker 2: a good idea to us. He knew that dream had 418 00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:38,240 Speaker 2: already been stamped with God yes. He just kept adding 419 00:22:38,359 --> 00:22:42,240 Speaker 2: his yes, going through the closed doors, not getting discouraged. 420 00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:45,959 Speaker 2: Bank number thirty two said, we think it's a great idea. 421 00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:48,000 Speaker 1: He started his business. 422 00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:51,960 Speaker 2: It's taken off and expanded all around the world. He 423 00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:54,840 Speaker 2: told me how some of those same banks now are 424 00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:57,520 Speaker 2: trying to get his account. You know what, he tells 425 00:22:57,560 --> 00:23:02,920 Speaker 2: them no, what am I saying? Don't get discouraged by 426 00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:06,280 Speaker 2: the nose. The nose are a part of your destiny. 427 00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:09,880 Speaker 2: They're leading you to the yes. You have to come 428 00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:13,359 Speaker 2: to your closed doors before you'll get to your open doors. 429 00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:16,080 Speaker 1: You may have had a lot of no's in the past. 430 00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:19,080 Speaker 1: Things haven't worked out. You need to get ready. Your 431 00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:20,240 Speaker 1: yes is coming. 432 00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:23,879 Speaker 2: God is going to open doors that you could not open. 433 00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:27,280 Speaker 2: He's going to cause people to change their mind and 434 00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:29,280 Speaker 2: go out of their way to be good to you. 435 00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:33,520 Speaker 2: It's going to be unprecedented favor. You will know it 436 00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:36,639 Speaker 2: is the hand of God. I talked to a lady 437 00:23:36,720 --> 00:23:42,440 Speaker 2: named Cheri. She's a single parent living in Compton, California. Compton, 438 00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:46,240 Speaker 2: of course, is known for being a rough environment, drugs 439 00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:50,720 Speaker 2: and violence. Her husband was in the federal penitentiary. Chari 440 00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:54,880 Speaker 2: is a school teacher for thirteen years. She raised her 441 00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:58,680 Speaker 2: son EJ by herself. There were a lot of negative 442 00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:01,760 Speaker 2: influences opportunity for him to get off. 443 00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:04,359 Speaker 1: Course, but Shari is a praying woman. 444 00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:08,280 Speaker 2: Every morning before school they would listen to our messages. 445 00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:13,159 Speaker 2: Her goal was for her son EJ to go to college, 446 00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:16,320 Speaker 2: and even though looked like he had some disadvantages, a 447 00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:21,080 Speaker 2: rough environment, odds against him. They believed that God would 448 00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:23,399 Speaker 2: open the right doors. They had had a lot of 449 00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:26,720 Speaker 2: no's in the past, but they knew their yes was 450 00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:30,679 Speaker 2: coming and they were waiting for different colleges to respond 451 00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:34,399 Speaker 2: to see if he got accepted anywhere. Several weeks ago, 452 00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:37,520 Speaker 2: on their way to school, they were listening to a 453 00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:41,720 Speaker 2: message where I was talking about unprecedented favor and how 454 00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:44,520 Speaker 2: God was going to do something unusual and out of 455 00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:45,359 Speaker 2: the ordinary. 456 00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:47,480 Speaker 1: When Shari heard that. 457 00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:51,400 Speaker 2: Something came alive on the inside, she told her son EJ, 458 00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:56,880 Speaker 2: that's for us. Later that day, EJ opened up an email. 459 00:24:57,440 --> 00:25:00,880 Speaker 2: It said, congratulations, you have been excit accepted. 460 00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:02,160 Speaker 1: Into Harvard's University. 461 00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:09,359 Speaker 2: Cherie says that EJ is the first African American from 462 00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:12,359 Speaker 2: Compton to ever get accepted to Harvard. 463 00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:15,480 Speaker 1: His goal is to become a neurosurgeon. 464 00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:19,880 Speaker 2: You've heard that phrase straight out of Compton a lot 465 00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:21,639 Speaker 2: of times.

Jesus came from the city of Nazareth, that 468 00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:34,760 Speaker 2: was a poor Rundown city in those days. His critics said, 469 00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:38,119 Speaker 2: can any good thing come out of Nazareth. That's not 470 00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:41,880 Speaker 2: an important influential place.
