God said, son, 46 00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:23,560 Speaker 5: you've been so faithful, I'm going to grant you one 47 00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:28,160 Speaker 5: special wish. He was so excited. He said, God, I've 48 00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:31,280 Speaker 5: always wanted to go to Hawaii, but I'm afraid to fly. 49 00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:34,160 Speaker 5: So my wish is that you would build me a 50 00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:39,280 Speaker 5: bridge across the ocean. God said, son, that's totally impossible. 51 00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:42,160 Speaker 5: Think of the logistics of that. Now take some time 52 00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:45,200 Speaker 5: and wish again. He said, okay, God, I've been married 53 00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:49,120 Speaker 5: four times. All my ex wives say I am so insensitive. 54 00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:51,480 Speaker 5: So my wish is that I would be able to 55 00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:55,000 Speaker 5: understand a woman. I want to know why they think 56 00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:57,760 Speaker 5: like they think, why they feel like they feel. There 57 00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:00,560 Speaker 5: was a long pause. God said, do you want two 58 00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:05,000 Speaker 5: lanes or four lanes on that bridge? Hold up your Bible, 59 00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:07,960 Speaker 5: say it like you mean it. This is my Bible. 60 00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:10,480 Speaker 5: I am what it says I am. I have what 61 00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:12,919 Speaker 5: it says I have. I can do what it says 62 00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:15,640 Speaker 5: I can do. Today I will be taught the word 63 00:03:15,680 --> 00:03:19,600 Speaker 5: of God. I boldly confess my mind is alert, my 64 00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:23,960 Speaker 5: heart is receptive. I will never be the same. In Jesus' name, 65 00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:27,800 Speaker 5: God bless you. I want to talk to you today 66 00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:33,280 Speaker 5: about how your words become your reality. You are where 67 00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:36,520 Speaker 5: you are today in part because of what you've been 68 00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:41,320 Speaker 5: saying about yourself. Words are like seeds. When you speak 69 00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:45,040 Speaker 5: something out, you give life to what you're saying. If 70 00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:49,440 Speaker 5: you continue to say it, eventually that can become a reality, 71 00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:53,960 Speaker 5: whether you realize it or not. You are prophesying your future. 72 00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:57,720 Speaker 5: And this is great. When we're saying things like I'm blessed, 73 00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:02,200 Speaker 5: I'm strong, pomplish my dreams, I'm coming out of debt. 74 00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:08,480 Speaker 5: That's not just being positive. You are prophesying victory, prophesying success, 75 00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:13,000 Speaker 5: prophesying new levels. Your life will move in the direction 76 00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:17,240 Speaker 5: of your words. But too many people go around prophesying 77 00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:21,000 Speaker 5: just the opposite. I never get any good breaks, I'll 78 00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:24,559 Speaker 5: never get back in shape, business is slow, I'll probably 79 00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:27,880 Speaker 5: get laid off. Flu season is here. I always get it. 80 00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:32,359 Speaker 5: They don't realize they are prophesying defeat. It's just like 81 00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:37,480 Speaker 5: they're calling in bad breaks, mediocrity, lack. The scripture says 82 00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:41,280 Speaker 5: we will eat the fruit of our words. You are 83 00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:44,840 Speaker 5: planning seeds when you talk. At some point you're going 84 00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:49,080 Speaker 5: to eat that fruit. My challenge is make sure you're 85 00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:52,640 Speaker 5: planning the right kind of seeds. If you want apples, 86 00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:56,520 Speaker 5: you have to sow apple seeds. If you want oranges, 87 00:04:57,040 --> 00:05:01,719 Speaker 5: you can't plant cactus seeds, poison ivy seeds, mushroom seeds. 88 00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:05,120 Speaker 5: You're going to reap fruit from the exact seeds that 89 00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:09,240 Speaker 5: you've been sowing. In other words, you can't talk negative 90 00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:13,280 Speaker 5: and expect to live a positive life. You can't talk 91 00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:17,479 Speaker 5: defeat and expect to have victory. You can't talk lack, 92 00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:21,880 Speaker 5: not enough, can't afford it, never get ahead, and expect 93 00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:25,400 Speaker 5: to have abundance. If you have a poor mouth, you're 94 00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:28,279 Speaker 5: going to have a poor life. If you don't like 95 00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:32,479 Speaker 5: what you're seeing, start sowing some different seeds. Instead of 96 00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:35,320 Speaker 5: saying I'll never get well, Joel, this sickness has been 97 00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:38,000 Speaker 5: in my family for three generations. No, let me give 98 00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:41,040 Speaker 5: you the right seeds. God is restoring health back into me. 99 00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:44,280 Speaker 5: This sickness didn't come to stay, it came to pass. 100 00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:48,360 Speaker 5: I'm getting better and better every day. You keep sowing 101 00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:53,560 Speaker 5: those seeds, and eventuallyly you'll eat that fruit, health, wholeness, victory. 102 00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:56,800 Speaker 5: Instead of saying I'll never get out of debt, I'll 103 00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:59,560 Speaker 5: never rise any higher. No, I will lend and not 104 00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:04,160 Speaker 5: borrow whatever I touch prospers and succeeds. I'm coming into overflow, 105 00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:08,719 Speaker 5: into more than enough. Start sowing seeds of increase, seeds 106 00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:12,840 Speaker 5: of abundance. No more, I'll never accomplish my dreams. No 107 00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:16,520 Speaker 5: I have the favor of God. Blessings are chasing me down. 108 00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:20,560 Speaker 5: The right people are searching me out. New opportunities, new 109 00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:23,880 Speaker 5: levels are in my future. If you keep talking like that, 110 00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:27,760 Speaker 5: you'll reap a harvest of good things. James said in 111 00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:31,360 Speaker 5: the scripture. With our tongue, we can bless our life, 112 00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:35,320 Speaker 5: or we can curse our life. Many people don't realize 113 00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:39,880 Speaker 5: with their words they're cursing their future. Every time you 114 00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:42,799 Speaker 5: say I never get any good breaks, you just cursed 115 00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:46,200 Speaker 5: your life. I'll never be able to afford that nice house. 116 00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:50,440 Speaker 5: I'll never break this addiction. I'll never meet the right person. No, 117 00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:55,320 Speaker 5: stop cursing your future. Sometimes the enemy doesn't have to 118 00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:59,839 Speaker 5: defeat us, We defeat ourselves. Pay attention to what you're saying. 119 00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:02,320 Speaker 5: Are you blessing your life or are you cursing it? 120 00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:05,960 Speaker 5: I had a classmate in high school that was always 121 00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:08,960 Speaker 5: very negative, and every time I ask him what was 122 00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:12,880 Speaker 5: going on, he had this standard answer. He would always say, 123 00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:18,000 Speaker 5: not much I'm just getting old, fat and bald. I 124 00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:21,760 Speaker 5: heard him say that probably five hundred times. I know 125 00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:24,200 Speaker 5: he's just kind of kidding, but I wouldn't kid about that. 126 00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:27,920 Speaker 5: He was one of the stars on our football team, 127 00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:32,760 Speaker 5: always in great shape, had this thick, curly hair. About 128 00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:35,960 Speaker 5: fifteen years later, I ran into him at the mall. 129 00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:39,240 Speaker 5: When I saw him, I nearly passed out. He had 130 00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:44,560 Speaker 5: prophesied his future. He looked old, fat and bald. Friends, 131 00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:48,280 Speaker 5: don't speak that defeat over your life. Our attitude should 132 00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:51,920 Speaker 5: be I'm getting younger. God is renewing my youth like 133 00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:59,239 Speaker 5: the eagles. I'm getting stronger, healthier, better looking. I'm gonna 134 00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:02,360 Speaker 5: keep my head. I'm gonna stay in my right mind. 135 00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:07,000 Speaker 5: I'm gonna live a long, productive, faith filled life. Don't 136 00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:11,040 Speaker 5: go around cursing your future. Start blessing your life. Prophesy 137 00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:14,880 Speaker 5: good things. There's a young lady on staff here. Every 138 00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:17,480 Speaker 5: morning before she leaves the house, she looks in the 139 00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:22,560 Speaker 5: mirror and says, girl, you looking good today. I saw 140 00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:24,840 Speaker 5: her one time and ask if she was still doing it. 141 00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:27,320 Speaker 5: She said, yeah. In fact, today, when I looked in 142 00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:30,640 Speaker 5: the mirror, I said, girl, some days you look good, 143 00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:36,800 Speaker 5: but today you look really good. Why don't you stop 144 00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:41,280 Speaker 5: criticizing yourself, talking about all the things you don't like, 145 00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:44,560 Speaker 5: how you're getting too old, too wrinkled, to this, to that. 146 00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:49,480 Speaker 5: Stop cursing your life and start blessing your life. Start 147 00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:56,079 Speaker 5: calling yourself healthy, strong, talented, beautiful young. Every morning, before 148 00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:57,880 Speaker 5: you leave the house, look in the mirror and say, 149 00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:02,640 Speaker 5: good morning, you good looking thing. My brother, Paul, you 150 00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:09,679 Speaker 5: need to do this every hour. Sometimes, when we've been 151 00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:14,000 Speaker 5: traveling a lot, been very busy, Victoria will come to 152 00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:16,040 Speaker 5: church with me and said, Joel, I am so tired. 153 00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:18,959 Speaker 5: Look at me. Can you see how red my eyes are? 154 00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:22,079 Speaker 5: I always say, no, Victoria, you look beautiful. You look 155 00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:24,839 Speaker 5: as great as ever. She said no, I don't, Joel, 156 00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:27,760 Speaker 5: I know you. You won't tell me she's right. I 157 00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:29,959 Speaker 5: don't want to speak defeat. I want to speak victory 158 00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:33,240 Speaker 5: over her life. I wonder what she would do if 159 00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:35,520 Speaker 5: I ever said, yeah, you're right, you don't look good 160 00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:39,040 Speaker 5: at all. I'm smarter than that. 161 00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:41,840 Speaker 3: I know. 162 00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:45,000 Speaker 5: This man that was so concerned that he was going 163 00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:48,719 Speaker 5: to get Alzheimer's disease. Several people in his family had it, 164 00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:53,120 Speaker 5: a grandfather, a great uncle. He was in his early fifties, 165 00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:56,840 Speaker 5: but he was always talking about what might happen. He 166 00:09:56,960 --> 00:09:59,719 Speaker 5: told me how he is making plans for who could 167 00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:03,400 Speaker 5: take care of him, get everything lined up. Of course, 168 00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:06,120 Speaker 5: it's good to use common sense to be wise, but 169 00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:09,120 Speaker 5: if you go around talking about when you're going to 170 00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:13,280 Speaker 5: get it, making plans for it, most likely you won't 171 00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:17,160 Speaker 5: be disappointed. You're calling it in, just like you're sending 172 00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:20,640 Speaker 5: it an invitation. I told him what I'm telling you. 173 00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:24,240 Speaker 5: Don't say another time that you're going to have Alzheimer's. 174 00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:28,240 Speaker 5: Start declaring. No weapon formed against me will ever prosper. 175 00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:31,520 Speaker 5: I will live out my days in good health, with 176 00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:35,559 Speaker 5: a clear mind, with good memory, with clarity of thought. 177 00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:39,679 Speaker 5: My mind is alert, my senses are sharp, my youth 178 00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:44,160 Speaker 5: is being renewed. You've got to prophesy health, prophesy a 179 00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:49,800 Speaker 5: long productive life. Your words will become your reality. When 180 00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:53,520 Speaker 5: our daughter Alexandra was about four years old, she overheard 181 00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:57,320 Speaker 5: Victorian Me talking about this little boy that was having 182 00:10:57,360 --> 00:11:00,400 Speaker 5: a terrible time with headaches, who was having to leave 183 00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:04,720 Speaker 5: school and causing them all kinds of difficulties. Alexandra spoke 184 00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:07,840 Speaker 5: up and said, Daddy, I don't have headaches, and I 185 00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:11,680 Speaker 5: never will have headaches. I thought, you're exactly right. You're 186 00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:15,360 Speaker 5: prophesying the right thing. One time I was working on 187 00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:17,880 Speaker 5: my garage door back then. I couldn't get it to 188 00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:20,800 Speaker 5: go up, and it's kind of frustrated. And I didn't 189 00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:24,400 Speaker 5: even realize Alexandra was there. But under my breath, I said, 190 00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:27,600 Speaker 5: this thing is never going to work. I heard this 191 00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:30,520 Speaker 5: little voice speak up, Daddy, You're going to have what 192 00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:34,839 Speaker 5: you say. God, it's terrible when your own children believe 193 00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:40,520 Speaker 5: your messages. Proverb six says we are snared by the 194 00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:45,360 Speaker 5: words of our mouth. Snared means to be trapped. Your 195 00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:48,800 Speaker 5: words can trip you. What you say can cause you 196 00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:52,680 Speaker 5: to stumble. It can keep you from your potential. You're 197 00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:56,040 Speaker 5: not snared by what you think. Negative faults come to 198 00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:59,960 Speaker 5: us all. When you speak them out, you give them life. 199 00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:03,640 Speaker 5: That's when they become a reality. When you say I'll 200 00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:07,320 Speaker 5: never get back in shape, it becomes more difficult. You 201 00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:10,120 Speaker 5: just made it harder. When you say I never get 202 00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:13,920 Speaker 5: any good breaks, that stops the favor that was ordained 203 00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:16,920 Speaker 5: for you. If you say I'm not that talented, I 204 00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:20,320 Speaker 5: don't have a good personality, that is setting the limits 205 00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:24,640 Speaker 5: for your life. That is calling in mediocrity. You may 206 00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:27,880 Speaker 5: have been snared in the past, trapped by your words, 207 00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:31,319 Speaker 5: but I believe this is a new day. I declare 208 00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:34,600 Speaker 5: you're coming out of that trap. Every chain is being loose, 209 00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:38,520 Speaker 5: every stronghold is coming down. No weapon formed against you 210 00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:41,160 Speaker 5: is going to prosper. Now you've got to do your part. 211 00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:46,320 Speaker 5: Start speaking victory over your life. Speak, increase, dare to 212 00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:50,680 Speaker 5: declare God's favor. Be bold to call in those things 213 00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:54,880 Speaker 5: you're dreaming about, those things you're believing for. Don't use 214 00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:58,400 Speaker 5: your words to describe the situation. Use your words to 215 00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:03,760 Speaker 5: change the situation. Matthew, Chapter six, Jesus was talking about worry. 216 00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:08,080 Speaker 5: He said, take no thought, saying what shall we eat? 217 00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:11,920 Speaker 5: What shall we drink? Notice that phrasing, take no thoughts 218 00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:16,640 Speaker 5: save the negative thoughts will come. The key is to 219 00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:20,800 Speaker 5: not say them. I thought will die still born if 220 00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:24,840 Speaker 5: you don't speak it. Jesus was saying, you may feel worried, 221 00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:28,200 Speaker 5: you may seem like it's never going to happen, But 222 00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:32,240 Speaker 5: take no thoughts, saying, don't verbalize it. Don't get trapped 223 00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:36,680 Speaker 5: by your words. When we acquired this place, the form 224 00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:40,079 Speaker 5: of Compact Center, it was a dream come true. We 225 00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:44,320 Speaker 5: were so excited, our builders drew up plans to renovate 226 00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:47,640 Speaker 5: it from a basketball arena to a church. They called 227 00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:50,080 Speaker 5: us together and said it was going to cost one 228 00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:54,280 Speaker 5: hundred million dollars to renovate. After they picked me up 229 00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:59,720 Speaker 5: off the floor, my first thoughts were, that's impossible. There's 230 00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:03,160 Speaker 5: no I've only been the pastor of four years. They 231 00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:06,360 Speaker 5: cannot expect me to raise those kind of funds. Even 232 00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:09,640 Speaker 5: though those thoughts were racing through my mind again and again, 233 00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:13,480 Speaker 5: I was smart enough to keep my mouth closed. I 234 00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:16,320 Speaker 5: kept a big smile on my face, acted like it 235 00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:19,880 Speaker 5: was no big deal. I knew if I wouldn't verbalize 236 00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:24,920 Speaker 5: those negative thoughts, eventually they would die stillborn. It's one 237 00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:27,720 Speaker 5: thing to think that it's impossible, but when you start 238 00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:31,080 Speaker 5: telling people it's impossible, takes on a whole new meaning. 239 00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:35,800 Speaker 5: You may think I'll never break this illness, I'll never 240 00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:39,360 Speaker 5: get well, I'll never meet the right person. Those thoughts 241 00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:42,000 Speaker 5: come to all of us. You can't stop that. My 242 00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:45,920 Speaker 5: challenge is, don't give them life by speaking them out. 243 00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:48,760 Speaker 5: Don't go call your friends and tell them how it's 244 00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:51,880 Speaker 5: not going to happen. I told our team I don't 245 00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:54,600 Speaker 5: see away, but I know God has a way. He 246 00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:57,480 Speaker 5: didn't bring us this far to leave us. My report 247 00:14:57,600 --> 00:15:00,720 Speaker 5: was God is supplying all of our needs. The funds 248 00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:04,040 Speaker 5: are coming in. It may look impossible on paper, but 249 00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:08,040 Speaker 5: with God, all things are possible. I knew better than 250 00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:11,120 Speaker 5: to curse my future. I didn't want to get trapped 251 00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:14,120 Speaker 5: by my words. I knew if I'd keep prophesying the 252 00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:17,880 Speaker 5: right things, increase favor more than enough, then we would 253 00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:21,320 Speaker 5: start moving toward it. In the tough times, you have 254 00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:26,240 Speaker 5: to especially be on guard. It's very tempting to venture frustration, 255 00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:30,040 Speaker 5: tell people how the loan didn't go through, and how 256 00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:33,040 Speaker 5: bad the medical report was, and how these people just 257 00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:37,440 Speaker 5: didn't treat you right. But continually talking about the problem, 258 00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:40,760 Speaker 5: that's not only going to make you more discouraged, but 259 00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:44,800 Speaker 5: you're giving that problem more life. You're making it bigger. 260 00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:48,480 Speaker 5: Turn it around. Don't talk about the problem, talk about 261 00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:52,240 Speaker 5: the promise instead of Oh, man, I got this big challenge. No, 262 00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:55,840 Speaker 5: I serve a big God. He spoke worlds into existence. 263 00:15:56,040 --> 00:15:59,840 Speaker 5: Nothing's too difficult for him. Instead, I didn't get the promotion. 264 00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:03,880 Speaker 5: God passed over again. Another disappointment. Now I know when 265 00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:07,280 Speaker 5: one door closes that means God has something better. He's 266 00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:11,400 Speaker 5: directed my steps. I'm excited about my future. Instead, I'll 267 00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:14,080 Speaker 5: never meet the right person, Joe, I'm too old, it's 268 00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:16,880 Speaker 5: been too long. No, something good is going to happen 269 00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:20,760 Speaker 5: to me. Divine connections are coming my way. Well, I 270 00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:23,560 Speaker 5: heard you got a bad medical report. Yes, that's true, 271 00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:26,400 Speaker 5: But I have another report. It says God is restoring 272 00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:29,320 Speaker 5: health back into me. And I heard those people. Did 273 00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:32,800 Speaker 5: you wrong? Yes, but I'm not worried. God is my vindicator. 274 00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:36,280 Speaker 5: He's fighting my battles. He's promised to give me beauty 275 00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:41,120 Speaker 5: for ashes. See, in life, there are always two voices 276 00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:44,920 Speaker 5: vying for your attention, the voice of faith and the 277 00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:49,000 Speaker 5: voice of defeat. You'll hear a voice saying, like I did, 278 00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:53,120 Speaker 5: problem's too big, it's not gonna work out. Just accept it. 279 00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:57,440 Speaker 5: You'll be tempted to worry, to be negative, to complain. 280 00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:01,600 Speaker 5: But if you listen carefully, you'll hear another voice, the 281 00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:05,679 Speaker 5: voice of faith, saying God has a way, Favor is coming, 282 00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:10,000 Speaker 5: healing is coming, breakthroughs are coming. One voice will tell 283 00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:12,600 Speaker 5: you you've reached your limits, You've gone as far as 284 00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:15,680 Speaker 5: you can, you don't have what it takes. The other voice, 285 00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:18,960 Speaker 5: you are well able. You can do all things through Christ. 286 00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:21,960 Speaker 5: Your best days are still in front of you. Now 287 00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:25,760 Speaker 5: here's the beauty. You get to choose which voice comes 288 00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:28,719 Speaker 5: to life. The way you do it is by what 289 00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:33,119 Speaker 5: you speak. When you verbalize that thought, you're giving it 290 00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:36,480 Speaker 5: the right to come to pass. If you go around saying, ah, 291 00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:40,280 Speaker 5: the problem's too big, I'll never get well, you are 292 00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:43,600 Speaker 5: agreeing with the wrong voice. You've got to get in 293 00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:48,360 Speaker 5: agreement with God. The other voice may seem louder, but 294 00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:51,199 Speaker 5: you can override it. You can take away all of 295 00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:55,480 Speaker 5: its power by choosing the voice of faith. Maybe you're 296 00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:58,840 Speaker 5: going to a job interview. One voice will tell you you're 297 00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:01,520 Speaker 5: not going to get it in your time. These people 298 00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:04,520 Speaker 5: are not going to like you. Another voice will say 299 00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:08,200 Speaker 5: you have the favor of God, you're blessed, you're confident, 300 00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:11,000 Speaker 5: you have what it takes. But if you get up 301 00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:14,240 Speaker 5: that morning and tell your spouse, I don't think i'm 302 00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:17,040 Speaker 5: gonna get this job, they're not gonna like me. I'm 303 00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:21,280 Speaker 5: not qualified. There's no use even going you're being trapped 304 00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:24,400 Speaker 5: by your words. You have to dig your heels in 305 00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:28,400 Speaker 5: and say, I am not giving life to any more defeat. 306 00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:33,200 Speaker 5: I am not speaking lack. I'm not speaking sickness. I'm 307 00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:37,399 Speaker 5: not speaking mediocrity, not enough. I'm gonna choose the voice 308 00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:41,920 Speaker 5: of faith. It says I'm strong, I'm healthy, I'm blessed, 309 00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:46,280 Speaker 5: I'm favored. I am a victor, not a victim. This 310 00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:50,720 Speaker 5: is what David did when he faced Goliath. It looked impossible. 311 00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:54,119 Speaker 5: All the odds were against him. If he would have 312 00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:58,000 Speaker 5: verbalized his negative thoughts, that would have kept him from 313 00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:01,520 Speaker 5: his destiny, even though he was anointed to be king. 314 00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:05,159 Speaker 5: Those negative words would have kept him trapped in the 315 00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:08,760 Speaker 5: shepherd's fields. He could have easily gone around saying, well, 316 00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:11,480 Speaker 5: I know I'm supposed to face Goliath, but look at him. 317 00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:15,840 Speaker 5: He's twice my size. He's got more experience, more equipment, 318 00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:18,640 Speaker 5: more talent. I don't see how this is ever going 319 00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:23,439 Speaker 5: to work out. You can talk yourself out of your destiny. 320 00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:26,720 Speaker 5: Negative words can keep you from becoming who you were 321 00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:30,800 Speaker 5: created to be. Don't fall into that trap. Quit calling 322 00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:34,320 Speaker 5: in defeat. Quit talking about how it's not going to happen. 323 00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:38,560 Speaker 5: You can pray in faith, ask God to turn it around, 324 00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:42,639 Speaker 5: to do the impossible, but then walk away and start 325 00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:45,200 Speaker 5: talking about how you're not going to get well, how 326 00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:48,760 Speaker 5: your child's never going to straighten up. Those negative words 327 00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:52,199 Speaker 5: just canceled out that prayer. Well, Joel, I'm having this 328 00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:55,399 Speaker 5: financial crisis. I prayed and asked God to help me, 329 00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:57,879 Speaker 5: but I don't see how it's going to happen. No, 330 00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:01,960 Speaker 5: zip that up. Father, you said, you're Jehovah, Jirah, the Lord, 331 00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:02,800 Speaker 5: my provider. 332 00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:03,280 Speaker 3: Lord. 333 00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:05,159 Speaker 5: You've done it for me in the past. I know 334 00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:08,399 Speaker 5: you'll do it for me again in the future. Don't 335 00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:13,720 Speaker 5: let your words trip you. Negative talk brings negative results. 336 00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:17,679 Speaker 5: But when you speak faith favor victory. That's what allows 337 00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:21,880 Speaker 5: God to do the impossible. David went out stood before Goliath. 338 00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:24,600 Speaker 5: He looked him in the eyes, said you come against 339 00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:27,680 Speaker 5: me with a sword and a shield, But I come 340 00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:31,080 Speaker 5: against you in the name of the Lord, God of Israel. 341 00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:35,359 Speaker 5: This day I will defeat you and feed your head 342 00:20:35,520 --> 00:20:40,320 Speaker 5: to the birds of the air. Notice he was prophesying victory. 343 00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:44,080 Speaker 5: He may have felt fear, but he spoke faith. I 344 00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:46,920 Speaker 5: can hear David as he's going out to face Goliath 345 00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:50,320 Speaker 5: under his breath. I am well able, I am anointed, 346 00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:53,320 Speaker 5: I am equipped. If God before me, who dare be 347 00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:56,639 Speaker 5: against me, picked up that rock, put it in his slingshot, 348 00:20:56,760 --> 00:21:01,000 Speaker 5: slung it. That rock brought Goliath tumbling down. When you 349 00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:04,520 Speaker 5: face giants in life, when you face challenges, you have 350 00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:09,720 Speaker 5: to do like David, prophesy your future. Say to that cancer, cancer, 351 00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:12,760 Speaker 5: you are no match for me. I will defeat you. 352 00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:16,199 Speaker 5: This addiction may be in my family for years, but 353 00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:18,840 Speaker 5: this is a new day. The buck stops with me. 354 00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:22,840 Speaker 5: I'm the difference maker. I am free. My child may 355 00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:25,199 Speaker 5: have been off course for a long time, but I 356 00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:28,040 Speaker 5: know it's only temporary. As for me and my house, 357 00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:32,480 Speaker 5: we will serve the Lord prophesy victory over your life. 358 00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:34,920 Speaker 5: There was a man in the scripture named Zaruba Bell. 359 00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:39,760 Speaker 5: He faced a huge mountain, a big obstacle, But like David, 360 00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:42,960 Speaker 5: he didn't talk about how impossible it was, how it 361 00:21:43,040 --> 00:21:46,520 Speaker 5: was never going to work out. He said, who are you, 362 00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:50,520 Speaker 5: o great mountain that would stand before me? You shall 363 00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:55,479 Speaker 5: become a mere molehill. He was prophesying his future. The 364 00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:59,320 Speaker 5: mountain looked big, but he declared it would be flattened out, 365 00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:03,720 Speaker 5: become a mole hill. There's the principle. Don't talk about 366 00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:07,560 Speaker 5: the mountain. Talk to the mountain. Look at that mountain 367 00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:11,120 Speaker 5: of debt, tell it you can't defeat me. You're coming down. 368 00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:13,880 Speaker 5: I will lend and not borrow. My cup will run 369 00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:18,120 Speaker 5: over Whatever mountains you face in life, no matter how 370 00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:22,440 Speaker 5: big they look. Don't shrink back in fear. Don't be intimidated. 371 00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:26,520 Speaker 5: Rise up in faith. Tell that mountain you're coming down. 372 00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:32,040 Speaker 5: Tell that sickness you're temporary. Say to that loneliness, that addiction, 373 00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:36,119 Speaker 5: that legal problem. Who are you, o, great mountain, to 374 00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:39,320 Speaker 5: stand before me? In other words, don't you know who 375 00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:42,840 Speaker 5: I am? A child of the Most High God? Haven't 376 00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:46,600 Speaker 5: you read my birth certificate? My father created the universe, 377 00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:50,680 Speaker 5: He breathed life into me, crowned me with his favor, 378 00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:54,119 Speaker 5: called me more than a conqueror. That means you can't 379 00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:57,359 Speaker 5: defeat me. You can't hold me back. Mountain, you gotta 380 00:22:57,400 --> 00:23:01,120 Speaker 5: come down. I will overcome this illness, I will break 381 00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:04,400 Speaker 5: this addiction. I will pay my house off. I will 382 00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:08,720 Speaker 5: see my family restored. I will accomplish my dreams. What 383 00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:13,400 Speaker 5: am I saying? Prophesy, victory, prophesy, breakthroughs, prophesy, what you're 384 00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:18,240 Speaker 5: believing for. In the Old Testament, Ezekiel saw a vision. 385 00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:23,639 Speaker 5: He had this dream of this valley filled with bones everywhere. 386 00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:27,480 Speaker 5: He looked. It's like a huge graveyard, acres and acres 387 00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:31,399 Speaker 5: of bones people that have died. Bones represent things in 388 00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:35,199 Speaker 5: our life that look dead, situations that seem impossible, like 389 00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:39,040 Speaker 5: they'll never change. And God told him to do something interesting. 390 00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:44,720 Speaker 5: He said, Ezekiel, prophesy to these dead bones. Say to them, oh, 391 00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:48,040 Speaker 5: you dry bones, hear the word of the Lord. And 392 00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:51,960 Speaker 5: Ezekiel in this vision, he started speaking to the bones, 393 00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:58,160 Speaker 5: telling them to come back to life. He called forth skin, muscle, tissue. 394 00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:02,960 Speaker 5: As he was talking, these bones started coming together, just 395 00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:07,199 Speaker 5: like out of a movie, morphing back into a person. Finally, 396 00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:10,760 Speaker 5: God told him to prophesy to the breath and call 397 00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:15,320 Speaker 5: it forth. The scripture says, as he prophesied, breath came 398 00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:18,879 Speaker 5: into those bodies, and they stood up like a vast army. 399 00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:22,240 Speaker 5: You may have things in your life that seem dead, 400 00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:27,320 Speaker 5: your health, business, a relationship. All you can see, so 401 00:24:27,359 --> 00:24:30,600 Speaker 5: to speak, is that valley of dry bones. God is 402 00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:33,639 Speaker 5: saying to you what he said to Ezekiel. It's not 403 00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:36,399 Speaker 5: enough to just pray about it. You need to speak 404 00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:40,879 Speaker 5: to it. Prophesy to those dead bones, Call in health, 405 00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:45,439 Speaker 5: call in abundance, call in restoration. That child that's been 406 00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:49,600 Speaker 5: off course. Don't just pray about it. Prophesy to him, son, daughter, 407 00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:53,400 Speaker 5: come back in. You will fulfill your destiny. You're struggling 408 00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:57,119 Speaker 5: with an addiction, don't just pray about it. Prophesy. I 409 00:24:57,200 --> 00:25:00,240 Speaker 5: am free. Chains are broken off of me. This is 410 00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:03,320 Speaker 5: a new day of victory. Get your check book out. 411 00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:07,240 Speaker 5: Prophesy to it all. It looks like are dead bones dead, 412 00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:10,399 Speaker 5: lack struggle. I prophesy out to these dead bones. I 413 00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:12,960 Speaker 5: will lend and not borrow. I am the head enough 414 00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:18,600 Speaker 5: to tell I am coming into overflow, just like with Ezekiel. 415 00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:22,600 Speaker 5: If you'll prophesy to the bones, God will resurrect what 416 00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:25,640 Speaker 5: looked dead. He'll make things happen that you could never 417 00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:30,880 Speaker 5: make happen. Psalm too says, I will declare a decree. 418 00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:34,159 Speaker 5: A decree was something that was written down, like an 419 00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:37,760 Speaker 5: official document. The Psalmist was saying, there's something that's been 420 00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:41,360 Speaker 5: written that I'm going to start speaking. You and I 421 00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:44,960 Speaker 5: can do the same thing. Declare a decree. You should 422 00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:48,040 Speaker 5: write down your goals. Write down what you want to 423 00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:51,480 Speaker 5: see happen in life. Any areas that you're struggling in 424 00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:54,280 Speaker 5: where you need to improve, write it down like it's 425 00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:59,600 Speaker 5: already done, and then every day declare that decree. We 426 00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:03,040 Speaker 5: do it a couple of times out loud. It's not 427 00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:06,320 Speaker 5: enough to just think it. Something happens when we speak. 428 00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:11,000 Speaker 5: You have to prophesy your future. You can personalize yours, 429 00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:14,440 Speaker 5: but let me give you some generic things that should 430 00:26:14,480 --> 00:26:18,480 Speaker 5: be on your decree. I am strong, I am healthy. 431 00:26:19,080 --> 00:26:23,000 Speaker 5: I am in shape. I weigh what I'm supposed to weigh. 432 00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:27,800 Speaker 5: I am full of energy. I am passionate. I am talented. 433 00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:33,760 Speaker 5: I am secure, I am valuable. I am confident. I 434 00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:37,760 Speaker 5: have a good personality. People like me. I am fun 435 00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:42,240 Speaker 5: to be around. I am happy. I enjoy my life. 436 00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:46,360 Speaker 5: I am a person of excellence. I am full of integrity. 437 00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:51,720 Speaker 5: I am successful, I am prosperous. MY future is bright. 438 00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:56,360 Speaker 5: MY children are mighty in the land. MY legacy will 439 00:26:56,400 --> 00:27:01,000 Speaker 5: live on to inspire future generations. I run with purpose 440 00:27:01,119 --> 00:27:05,600 Speaker 5: in every step. I am blessed. I am victorious. I 441 00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:08,879 Speaker 5: am a child of the most High God. If you 442 00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:13,560 Speaker 5: keep speaking things like that over your life, those words 443 00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:16,280 Speaker 5: will get down on the inside of you. They'll not 444 00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:19,800 Speaker 5: only change your outlook, but they will change who you are. 445 00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:24,920 Speaker 5: Your words will become your reality. You are prophesying your future. 446 00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:28,440 Speaker 5: Over time, those words will become a part of your 447 00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:31,960 Speaker 5: everyday vocabulary. It'll be no big deal for you to 448 00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:34,879 Speaker 5: go around saying I'm blessed, I'm healthy, I have the 449 00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:38,520 Speaker 5: favor of God. Instead of being trapped by your words, 450 00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:42,399 Speaker 5: you'll be propelled by your words. James said here in 451 00:27:42,440 --> 00:27:47,400 Speaker 5: the scripture, just as a tiny rudder controls a lordship, 452 00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:51,800 Speaker 5: so the tongue sets the direction for our life. Are 453 00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:55,040 Speaker 5: you going in the right direction? Are you seeing increase 454 00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:59,520 Speaker 5: favor new growth? If not, check up on what you're saying. 455 00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:02,600 Speaker 5: When you get your words going in the right direction, 456 00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:06,199 Speaker 5: your life will go in the right direction. Make this 457 00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:10,480 Speaker 5: decision with me. No more words of lack, defeat, can't 458 00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:15,200 Speaker 5: do it, mediocrity, doubt, don't curse your future. Bless your future. 459 00:28:15,720 --> 00:28:20,200 Speaker 5: If you'll start prophesying victory, prophesy in favor, I believe 460 00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:24,840 Speaker 5: and declare you're going to rise higher, overcome every obstacle, 461 00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:29,359 Speaker 5: and become everything God's created you to be. In Jesus' name. 462 00:28:29,760 --> 00:28:32,639 Speaker 5: If you receive it, can you say him in today? 463 00:28:33,600 --> 00:28:36,439 Speaker 5: We never like to close our broadcast without giving you 464 00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:39,320 Speaker 5: an opportunity to make Jesus the lord of your life. 465 00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:44,160 Speaker 5: Would you pray with me. Just say, Lord, Jesus, I'll 466 00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:49,040 Speaker 5: repent of my sins. Come into my heart. I make 467 00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:52,840 Speaker 5: you my Lord and savior.
