1
00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:03,240
Speaker 1: Hi, this is Joel and Victoria. Thanks for listening to

2
00:00:03,279 --> 00:00:06,400
Speaker 1: our podcast and thanks for supporting the ministry. If you

3
00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:09,080
Speaker 1: enjoy today's message, why don't you be a blessing and

4
00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:11,800
Speaker 1: share it with a friend. We appreciate you and pray

5
00:00:11,840 --> 00:00:15,040
Speaker 1: for God's very best in your life. God bless you.

6
00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:18,040
Speaker 1: It's great to be with you today, and I hope

7
00:00:18,040 --> 00:00:20,560
Speaker 1: you'll stay connected with us during the week through our

8
00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:24,760
Speaker 1: daily podcast, our YouTube channel, social media, and you can

9
00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:27,479
Speaker 1: come visit us in person. Love to have you be

10
00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:30,040
Speaker 1: a part of one of our services. I'd like to

11
00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:32,640
Speaker 1: start with something funny and I heard about this six

12
00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:35,520
Speaker 1: year old little boy. He was standing in the church

13
00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:39,040
Speaker 1: lobby staring at a plaque on the wall was filled

14
00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:42,839
Speaker 1: with names with small American flags by their side. He

15
00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:46,240
Speaker 1: asked the pastor what it meant. The pastor explained how

16
00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:49,279
Speaker 1: that was a memorial to all the young men and

17
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:52,959
Speaker 1: women that died in the service. The little boy stood there,

18
00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:56,880
Speaker 1: very silently and very concerned. He finally looked up and asked,

19
00:00:57,160 --> 00:01:00,680
Speaker 1: was it the eight thirty or eleven o'clock service? Say

20
00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:03,480
Speaker 1: it like you mean it. This is my Bible. I

21
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:05,959
Speaker 1: am what it says, I am, I have what it

22
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:08,440
Speaker 1: says I have, I can do what it says I

23
00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:11,600
Speaker 1: can do. Today I will be taught the word of God.

24
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:16,479
Speaker 1: I boldly confess. My mind is alert, my heart is recepted.

25
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:20,520
Speaker 1: I will never be the same. In Jesus' name, God

26
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:23,759
Speaker 1: bless you. I want to talk to you today about

27
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:27,280
Speaker 1: it's still going to happen. We all have things that

28
00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:31,319
Speaker 1: were believing for. We prayed, We've done our best, but

29
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:34,920
Speaker 1: the medical report hasn't improved. We didn't get the promotion,

30
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:38,679
Speaker 1: we haven't met the right person. We wanted to go

31
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:42,440
Speaker 1: back to school, but nobody supported us. Tried to start

32
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:46,959
Speaker 1: our business. We had opposition, delays, people did us wrong.

33
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:50,480
Speaker 1: Now we think it wasn't meant to be, but we

34
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 1: may have given up. The good news is God hasn't

35
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:57,880
Speaker 1: given up. He doesn't abort dreams. He's called the author

36
00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:01,760
Speaker 1: and the finisher of our faith. The dreams He's whispered

37
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:05,320
Speaker 1: in your spirit, the promises you're standing on. It may

38
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:07,840
Speaker 1: be too much for you, but it's not too much

39
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:11,800
Speaker 1: for him. He's saying, today, it's still going to happen.

40
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:15,480
Speaker 1: You're still going to get wound, You're still going to

41
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:18,680
Speaker 1: meet the right person. You're still going to have that baby.

42
00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:21,959
Speaker 1: You're still going to pay your house off, You're still

43
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:25,040
Speaker 1: going to break that addiction. You're still going to see

44
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:29,520
Speaker 1: your children fulfill their purpose. See, sometimes you just need

45
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:33,960
Speaker 1: faith spoken over you. Words have power. When you've heard

46
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:36,679
Speaker 1: for so long that it's not going to happen, that

47
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:39,960
Speaker 1: negativity can take root. You have to let all that

48
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:43,920
Speaker 1: go and by faith receive this phrase into your spirit.

49
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:47,600
Speaker 1: Is still going to happen. Now, every voice may tell

50
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:51,359
Speaker 1: you the opposite. There's no way what happened by now.

51
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:54,680
Speaker 1: You don't have the resources. You tried before and it

52
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:57,600
Speaker 1: didn't work out. Let that go in one ear and

53
00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:00,720
Speaker 1: out the other. Don't get in agreement with the doubt.

54
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:04,200
Speaker 1: Get in agreement with God. You don't have to see

55
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 1: how it's going to happen. All you have to do

56
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:11,080
Speaker 1: is believe. Start declaring favor over your life. Start talking

57
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:14,360
Speaker 1: like it's going to happen. Start thanking God that he's working.

58
00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:18,400
Speaker 1: When those negative thoughts come telling you it's too late,

59
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:22,720
Speaker 1: just answer back, no thanks, it's still going to happen. Well,

60
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:26,240
Speaker 1: the medical report doesn't look good. That's one report, but

61
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:29,080
Speaker 1: I have another report. It says I'm still going to

62
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:32,120
Speaker 1: get well. Well you've had a lot of bad breaks.

63
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 1: Looks like that sets you back. No thanks, I'm still

64
00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:39,040
Speaker 1: going to accomplish my dreams. Your children are off course,

65
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:41,839
Speaker 1: seems like the more you pray, the worse they get.

66
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:44,960
Speaker 1: No thanks. As for me and my house, We're still

67
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 1: going to serve the Lord. Yeah, but what you're believing

68
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 1: for is way over your heads. You don't have the resources,

69
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:54,920
Speaker 1: the connections, the experience. No way that dream could come

70
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:57,720
Speaker 1: to pass. No, you're looking at it in the natural.

71
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:01,760
Speaker 1: But the God I serve is supernat He's saying, it's

72
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:06,400
Speaker 1: still going to happen. In the face of doubt, negative voices,

73
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:09,120
Speaker 1: people telling you it's not going to work out, it's

74
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:13,120
Speaker 1: very powerful to answer back with this declaration of faith.

75
00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:17,320
Speaker 1: It's still going to happen. You're saying, God, my hope

76
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:21,200
Speaker 1: is in you. I know you're the all powerful creator

77
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:24,600
Speaker 1: of the universe. What you promise will come to pass.

78
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:30,080
Speaker 1: No person can stop him. No sickness, no addiction, no delay,

79
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:34,280
Speaker 1: All the forces of darkness cannot stop what God has

80
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:38,200
Speaker 1: purposed for your life. The only one that can stop

81
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:43,440
Speaker 1: him is you. If you get discouraged, negative, lose your passion.

82
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:48,159
Speaker 1: It says in psalms, they limited the Holy One of Israel.

83
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:50,960
Speaker 1: God told them they were going to go into the

84
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:56,360
Speaker 1: Promised Land. Along the way, they had delays, setbacks, opposition.

85
00:04:57,040 --> 00:04:59,720
Speaker 1: That was all a part of God's plan. But what

86
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:03,480
Speaker 1: we do in the difficult times will determine whether we

87
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:07,359
Speaker 1: see the fullness of our destiny. They got discouraged and

88
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:09,919
Speaker 1: started complaining, what are we going to eat out in

89
00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:13,520
Speaker 1: the desert? How are we going to survive? Those people

90
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:17,000
Speaker 1: in the Promised Land are too big. They look like giants.

91
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:20,760
Speaker 1: We don't have a chance. The whole time, God was whispering,

92
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:24,880
Speaker 1: It's still going to happen. I'm in control. I'm going

93
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:28,159
Speaker 1: to defeat those enemies for you. I have provision for

94
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:32,400
Speaker 1: every season. But they let the doubt what they saw

95
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:36,640
Speaker 1: talk them out of what God promised. Don't be like them.

96
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:40,520
Speaker 1: God puts things in our spirit on purpose that are

97
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:44,600
Speaker 1: too big for us. He allows us in situations where

98
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:47,520
Speaker 1: we can't get out on our own. It's a test.

99
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:50,720
Speaker 1: Are we going to do like them and get discouraged

100
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 1: miss our purpose? Or are we going to let what

101
00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:58,080
Speaker 1: God says override the doubt and believe that it's still

102
00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:02,039
Speaker 1: going to happen. The giants. I'm still going to go

103
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:06,359
Speaker 1: into my promised land despite this medical report. I'm still

104
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:09,880
Speaker 1: going to get well. Despite the opposition. I'm still going

105
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:13,279
Speaker 1: to accomplish my dreams. Let me declare it over you.

106
00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:18,200
Speaker 1: Despite the delays, the setbacks, how you were raised, You're

107
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:23,640
Speaker 1: still going to live a blessed, fulfilled, victorious life. Despite

108
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:28,479
Speaker 1: the breakup, despite who walked away, the hurts, the loneliness.

109
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:32,680
Speaker 1: That's not how your story ends. That's one chapter. But

110
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:35,600
Speaker 1: you have a whole book. You're still going to meet

111
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:39,200
Speaker 1: someone great. You're still going to laugh again, love again,

112
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:42,920
Speaker 1: dream again. God says your latter days will be better

113
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:46,600
Speaker 1: than your former days. Now when the thoughts whisper, now, No,

114
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:50,080
Speaker 1: it's too late. You've been through too much. It's never

115
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:54,360
Speaker 1: going to work out. Recognize what's happening. That's the enemy

116
00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:57,560
Speaker 1: trying to keep you from the awesome future God has

117
00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:01,040
Speaker 1: in store. Tune that out and get an agreement with

118
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 1: your creator. He's saying, it's still going to happen. It's

119
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 1: not too late. The giants aren't too big, the opposition

120
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:13,320
Speaker 1: is not too strong. He's in control. You wouldn't be

121
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:17,120
Speaker 1: hearing this if there wasn't something amazing about to happen.

122
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:21,200
Speaker 1: New doors are about to open. The right people are

123
00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:24,440
Speaker 1: about to show up. Your health is going to suddenly

124
00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:29,320
Speaker 1: turn around, a shift in your finances, your career where

125
00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:33,920
Speaker 1: you're suddenly catapulted where you never dreamed. What God has

126
00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:38,360
Speaker 1: in mind is much bigger, better, more rewarding than what

127
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:41,360
Speaker 1: you had in mind. There was a man in the

128
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:44,920
Speaker 1: scripture named Zeruba Bel. God put the dream in his

129
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:48,440
Speaker 1: heart to rebuild the temple in Jerusalem. The king gave

130
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:51,360
Speaker 1: him permission to start the project, and he took fifty

131
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:55,160
Speaker 1: thousand men and they laid the foundation to two years.

132
00:07:55,600 --> 00:08:00,280
Speaker 1: They were so excited. They had a big celebration, singing hands,

133
00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:05,120
Speaker 1: seeing trumpets, blowing symbols clashing. The scripture says the people

134
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:09,320
Speaker 1: let out a great shout praising God. Because the foundation

135
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:13,680
Speaker 1: had been laid, serube Bel knew God's favor was on

136
00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:18,480
Speaker 1: his life. Everything was falling into place, the supplies, the people,

137
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:22,440
Speaker 1: the foundation looked beautiful, and they were about to start

138
00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:27,120
Speaker 1: the next phase when opposition arose. The enemies of Judah

139
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:30,280
Speaker 1: heard about the progress and they didn't like it. They

140
00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:33,520
Speaker 1: didn't want the temple rebuilt, so they started stirring up

141
00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:37,120
Speaker 1: trouble it's amazing. How when you start to make some

142
00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:44,559
Speaker 1: progress you see favor promotion. How that stirs people up, jealousy, gossip, slander.

143
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:47,959
Speaker 1: They had no problem with Saruba bel as long as

144
00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:51,920
Speaker 1: he was average. Stay in your corner, don't make any waves.

145
00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:55,920
Speaker 1: But God has put greatness in you. He's called you

146
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:59,240
Speaker 1: to stand out, to be a difference maker, to take

147
00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:03,040
Speaker 1: your family to a new level. Don't be surprised when

148
00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:05,719
Speaker 1: you take steps of faith. You get out of your

149
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:09,760
Speaker 1: comfort zone. You start the business, go back to school,

150
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:13,280
Speaker 1: you break the addiction, you get your family back in church.

151
00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:17,440
Speaker 1: If you don't see people find fault, criticize, why are

152
00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:21,240
Speaker 1: they doing that. They want you to stay average, They

153
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:24,559
Speaker 1: want you to be mediocre. But that's not your destiny.

154
00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:27,680
Speaker 1: God is going to take you places where no one

155
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:30,680
Speaker 1: in your family has gone. He's going to cause you

156
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:34,760
Speaker 1: to set a new standard. Now, one requirement is you

157
00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:38,320
Speaker 1: have to be thick skinned. You can't get drawn into

158
00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:42,200
Speaker 1: petty things that will pull you away from your destiny.

159
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:45,160
Speaker 1: The trick of the enemy is to get you distracted,

160
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:48,760
Speaker 1: focused on what they're saying, trying to prove to them

161
00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:53,079
Speaker 1: that you're okay, worried about what they think. Don't waste

162
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:56,880
Speaker 1: your time trying to win people over that are determined

163
00:09:56,920 --> 00:10:00,800
Speaker 1: to misunderstand you. They're not coming against you you, they're

164
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:03,960
Speaker 1: coming against the greatness God put in you. They're coming

165
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:07,439
Speaker 1: against the favor, the anointing, the calling on your life.

166
00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:10,320
Speaker 1: You have to be an eagle and rise above it.

167
00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:14,680
Speaker 1: Everyone's not going to be happy when you succeed. That's okay.

168
00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:18,320
Speaker 1: Stay focused on what God has called you to do.

169
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:21,000
Speaker 1: Don't come down to their level and get involved in

170
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:25,080
Speaker 1: battles that don't matter. These people continued to stir up

171
00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:28,920
Speaker 1: trouble and lie about zerube Bell. They sent a letter

172
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:31,840
Speaker 1: to the king saying that Zerubabel and the people of

173
00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:35,559
Speaker 1: Judah were troublemakers, that they weren't going to pay their taxes,

174
00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:38,160
Speaker 1: that they were trying to take over the city, none

175
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:41,840
Speaker 1: of which was true. They were so convincing that the

176
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:46,280
Speaker 1: king issued an order stopping all construction. No work could

177
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:50,280
Speaker 1: be done. Week after week went by, month after month,

178
00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:54,240
Speaker 1: even year after year, the foundation just sitting there, empty,

179
00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:59,720
Speaker 1: weeds growing up, the property run down. Can imagine zerube

180
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:03,360
Speaker 1: Bell stopping by at night and walking around seeing the

181
00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:06,720
Speaker 1: lumbers starting to rot and the supplies going to waste.

182
00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:10,600
Speaker 1: How God, I know you told me to rebuild. I

183
00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:13,400
Speaker 1: know what was doing the right thing, but all this opposition,

184
00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:17,600
Speaker 1: these people lied about me. The authorities have been poisoned. God,

185
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:21,599
Speaker 1: it's not fair. He was discouraged. Thoughts told him you

186
00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:24,400
Speaker 1: wasted your time. It's never gonna work out. Just go

187
00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:28,360
Speaker 1: back home. But God doesn't make a promise and then

188
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:32,120
Speaker 1: change his mind. He doesn't speak something to you and

189
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:35,600
Speaker 1: then let the circumstances talk him out of it. The

190
00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:39,679
Speaker 1: scripture says everything serves his plan. We're not going to

191
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:44,079
Speaker 1: understand everything that happens, but the right attitude is God.

192
00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:47,000
Speaker 1: This doesn't make sense to me, but I trust you.

193
00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:51,600
Speaker 1: I know it's serving your plan. See, nothing happens without

194
00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:55,240
Speaker 1: God's permission. Just because he put that dream in your

195
00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:59,360
Speaker 1: heart doesn't mean there won't be delays, critics, bad breaks,

196
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:02,840
Speaker 1: even times when it seems like the enemy got the

197
00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:07,640
Speaker 1: best of you. These people lied and shut down the project, Joel,

198
00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:11,360
Speaker 1: this person walked away. The loan didn't go through, My

199
00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:14,640
Speaker 1: health didn't improve. Right when I started to get ahead,

200
00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:17,640
Speaker 1: the pandemic hit set me back. You're right. Whereas the

201
00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:21,679
Speaker 1: Ruba bel was he had seen God's favor things had

202
00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:25,160
Speaker 1: fallen into place, and then the bottom fell out. That's

203
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:28,600
Speaker 1: when these lines will come. It'll never happen now, He'll

204
00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:32,079
Speaker 1: never get well, never see your business succeed, never meet

205
00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:35,600
Speaker 1: the right person. No, God has not changed his mind.

206
00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:41,040
Speaker 1: Despite the delays, the opposition, what wasn't fair. He's saying,

207
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:44,760
Speaker 1: it's still going to happen. You're still going to accomplish

208
00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:47,600
Speaker 1: the dream, You're still going to get well, You're still

209
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:51,240
Speaker 1: going to have that baby. God said in Philippians, I

210
00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:55,920
Speaker 1: will bring you to a flourishing finish, not a defeated finish,

211
00:12:56,440 --> 00:13:01,160
Speaker 1: a bankrupt finished, a lonely finished, a betrayed finish. God

212
00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:05,720
Speaker 1: has a victorious finish for you, an abundant finish, a

213
00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:11,199
Speaker 1: flourishing finish that means you're blossoming, blooming, seeing dreams come

214
00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:16,160
Speaker 1: to pass, going further than you've imagined, healthy, whole, fulfill

215
00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:20,640
Speaker 1: being a bigger blessing than you've ever dreamed. I've heard

216
00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:25,000
Speaker 1: it said God always ends on all is well. If

217
00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:28,319
Speaker 1: all is not well, then it's not the end. If

218
00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:31,440
Speaker 1: it's not good, then God is not done. It's just

219
00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:34,840
Speaker 1: another step on the way to your destiny. Now the

220
00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:38,199
Speaker 1: mistake we make is we quit believing. Along the way

221
00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:42,520
Speaker 1: we laid the foundation, we saw God's favor, had a

222
00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:47,840
Speaker 1: big celebration, then we had setbacks, the lays disappointments. Now

223
00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:52,240
Speaker 1: every circumstance says it's not going to happen. Well, sixteen

224
00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:56,360
Speaker 1: years later, the foundation was still just sitting there. Nothing

225
00:13:56,440 --> 00:14:00,720
Speaker 1: had changed. When two prophets showed up, Zachariah and hag Yau.

226
00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:05,199
Speaker 1: They said, Zerube Bel, it's time to start rebuilding the temple.

227
00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:08,120
Speaker 1: He could have thought, what do you mean, do you

228
00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:11,320
Speaker 1: realize it's been sixteen years? Do you know what we've

229
00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:15,080
Speaker 1: been through, what hasn't worked out? Who's against us? I

230
00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:19,200
Speaker 1: thought this project was done? ZACHARII said, no, Zeruba Bel.

231
00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:23,000
Speaker 1: God sent us to tell you it's still going to happen.

232
00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:28,200
Speaker 1: I love how Zerubabel responded, because he could have made excuses.

233
00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:31,800
Speaker 1: We tried and it didn't work out. The opposition is

234
00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:34,960
Speaker 1: still there. I'm too old man, I missed my chance.

235
00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:39,040
Speaker 1: You know. The scripture says Zeruba bell rose up and

236
00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:43,160
Speaker 1: begin the task of rebuilding the temple. Every thought tried

237
00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:45,920
Speaker 1: to talk him out of it, keep him defeated. But

238
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:48,560
Speaker 1: when he heard God say it's still going to happen,

239
00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:52,800
Speaker 1: he rose up. That means he got in agreement with God.

240
00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:57,280
Speaker 1: He started thinking differently. Yes, this is my time. He

241
00:14:57,360 --> 00:15:01,960
Speaker 1: started talking differently. I'm equipped, in powered, anointed. The favor

242
00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:05,200
Speaker 1: of God is on my life. He took steps of faith,

243
00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:09,720
Speaker 1: got his men back together, God his passion back, his fireback,

244
00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:13,800
Speaker 1: and they started rebuilding. Well, the same jerks, I mean

245
00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:16,880
Speaker 1: the same critics went back to the king. They went

246
00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:19,800
Speaker 1: back to the king, said this man we told you about,

247
00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:23,040
Speaker 1: he's trying to rebuild the temple again. You have to

248
00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:26,880
Speaker 1: stop him. This time it was a new king. There

249
00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:30,760
Speaker 1: had been a change in leadership, and sometimes God has

250
00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:33,960
Speaker 1: to move someone out for your dream to come to pass.

251
00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:37,280
Speaker 1: He has to weed out the wrong people so he

252
00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:41,200
Speaker 1: can put people in that will serve his plan. Trust

253
00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:45,200
Speaker 1: his tiny trust his ways. Just because you laid the

254
00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:48,840
Speaker 1: foundation and things didn't work out doesn't mean God is

255
00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:53,640
Speaker 1: through what he started. He's going to finish. This new

256
00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:56,360
Speaker 1: king told the critics he was going to have the

257
00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:59,960
Speaker 1: official record searched to see what was said about this tempt.

258
00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:04,240
Speaker 1: They found a decree where the temple was supposed to

259
00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:07,920
Speaker 1: be rebuilt and paid for out of the city treasury.

260
00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:11,480
Speaker 1: When the king found out it was for the Israelites.

261
00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:14,680
Speaker 1: God he was afraid. He had heard about the God

262
00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:18,680
Speaker 1: of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. He told his people to

263
00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:22,680
Speaker 1: not only leave Zarubebel alone to let him rebuild the temple,

264
00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:25,760
Speaker 1: but he said, you are to pay for the full

265
00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:29,440
Speaker 1: construction costs, and you are to provide them food and

266
00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:35,040
Speaker 1: provisions each day weep grain, salt, olive oil. God not

267
00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:38,640
Speaker 1: only helped them finish rebuilding the temple, but he made

268
00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:42,240
Speaker 1: the enemy pay for it. There are dreams God has

269
00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:45,400
Speaker 1: put in your heart. May seem like it's too late,

270
00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:49,440
Speaker 1: too big. You don't have the resources. God wouldn't have

271
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:52,320
Speaker 1: given you the dream, wouldn't have put the promise in

272
00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:55,120
Speaker 1: your heart if he didn't know how to bring it

273
00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:59,120
Speaker 1: to pass. Life with Zerubebel it's not only going to

274
00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:04,320
Speaker 1: still happen, but there's going to be supernatural provision, supernatural healing,

275
00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:10,639
Speaker 1: supernatural favor, uncommon, unusual things. You can't explain it. People

276
00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:14,119
Speaker 1: helping you that don't even like you. God purpose for

277
00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:18,119
Speaker 1: them to push you into your destiny. Now you have

278
00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:21,040
Speaker 1: a part in this. You can't sit back thinking, oh

279
00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:24,120
Speaker 1: not me, Joel, I'll never get well. This child will

280
00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:27,359
Speaker 1: never get back on course. It's been so long, the

281
00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:32,280
Speaker 1: odds are against me. Just like God sent Zachariah after

282
00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:35,840
Speaker 1: sixteen years of silence to prophesy that they were going

283
00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:39,360
Speaker 1: to rebuild the temple, God sent me to tell you

284
00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:43,000
Speaker 1: it's still going to happen. Now. You may be in

285
00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:46,960
Speaker 1: a silence season as well. You don't see anything improving,

286
00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:51,840
Speaker 1: no good breaks, no open doors, your health, family, finance,

287
00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:54,800
Speaker 1: it's just the same. You're about to see a shift.

288
00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:58,800
Speaker 1: God is doing a new thing. The silence was all

289
00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:03,399
Speaker 1: a part of his plan. The delays, closed doors, people

290
00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:07,160
Speaker 1: that walked away were necessary. It was setting you up

291
00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:10,760
Speaker 1: for this moment. The delay doesn't mean that God said no,

292
00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:15,080
Speaker 1: it just wasn't the right time. He's saying, you're still

293
00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:17,840
Speaker 1: going to accomplish that dream. You're still going to get

294
00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:21,240
Speaker 1: out of debt. You're still going to see your family restored.

295
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:25,880
Speaker 1: Now your part is to rise up, get your passion back,

296
00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:30,360
Speaker 1: get your fire back, start believing again. Once you let

297
00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:34,360
Speaker 1: go of Revisit didn't work out the first time. This

298
00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:37,919
Speaker 1: is a new day. Things have shifted. God's about to

299
00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:41,080
Speaker 1: show you why it hasn't worked out yet. He's gonna

300
00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:45,120
Speaker 1: make the enemy pain. There's going to be opportunity, resources,

301
00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:48,600
Speaker 1: favor that you've never seen. You're gonna know it was

302
00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:52,199
Speaker 1: a hand of God. I talked to a lady that

303
00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:57,119
Speaker 1: had been healthy her whole life, very strong, energetic, vibrant.

304
00:18:57,560 --> 00:19:01,520
Speaker 1: She noticed she wasn't feeling well, had some digestive issues.

305
00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:04,960
Speaker 1: She went to get checked out, and after many tests,

306
00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:09,320
Speaker 1: she was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. Didn't look good at all.

307
00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:12,640
Speaker 1: The doctors told her that the demise would happen quickly,

308
00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:15,760
Speaker 1: that while she was able, she needed to get everything

309
00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:19,600
Speaker 1: in order, make out her will, visit with family members.

310
00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:22,960
Speaker 1: They gave her less than a year to live. Of course,

311
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:27,679
Speaker 1: she was devastated. She never saw this coming. Sometimes we

312
00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:32,840
Speaker 1: face these unexpected challenges. That's when the enemy works overtime

313
00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:36,080
Speaker 1: in our mind. This is the end. Man too bad,

314
00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:39,800
Speaker 1: you'll never get well, never see your children graduate. Just

315
00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:43,840
Speaker 1: accept it. When we start dwelling on the negative, we're

316
00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:48,320
Speaker 1: giving it life. We draw in what we're constantly thinking about.

317
00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:51,320
Speaker 1: You have to guard your mind, fill it with what

318
00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:54,639
Speaker 1: God promised you. In the first several weeks, she was

319
00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:58,200
Speaker 1: so upset and so overwhelmed. She couldn't sleep at night

320
00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:02,359
Speaker 1: and could hardly function. She flipped on our serious XM

321
00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:05,960
Speaker 1: radio channel. She heard me talking about how God has

322
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:09,640
Speaker 1: the final saying how he can do what medicine cannot do.

323
00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:12,720
Speaker 1: How when we put our trust in him, he can

324
00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:16,160
Speaker 1: make ways where we don't see away. Instead of dwelling

325
00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:20,000
Speaker 1: on all the negative, playing the medical report over and over,

326
00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:23,720
Speaker 1: she started playing another report what God said about her,

327
00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:27,560
Speaker 1: I will live and not die. God is restoring health

328
00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:31,240
Speaker 1: back into me despite this diagnosis. I'm still going to

329
00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:34,879
Speaker 1: get well. Six weeks later, she went in for surgery.

330
00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:38,080
Speaker 1: They thought they could do this procedure and prolong her life.

331
00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:41,639
Speaker 1: A little bit afterwards, the surgeon came out with a

332
00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:44,480
Speaker 1: very puzzled look. He said, I have all the x

333
00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:47,960
Speaker 1: rays right here that show all the cancer, but when

334
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:51,120
Speaker 1: we went in, we couldn't find any cancer. You are

335
00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:56,480
Speaker 1: perfectly healthy. They had no explanation. These were some of

336
00:20:56,520 --> 00:20:59,879
Speaker 1: the leading experts, one of the most renowned hospitals in

337
00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:03,440
Speaker 1: the world. That was God doing what only he can do.

338
00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:07,080
Speaker 1: And I realize it doesn't happen that way for everyone,

339
00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:09,439
Speaker 1: But how do you know you're not going to be

340
00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:11,399
Speaker 1: the one of the ones that it does happen for.

341
00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:15,480
Speaker 1: Why not be a believer and not a dowvery God

342
00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:19,119
Speaker 1: is saying, despite the diagnosis, you're still going to get well,

343
00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:23,040
Speaker 1: despite the setbacks. You're still going to accompass your dream,

344
00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:26,800
Speaker 1: despite the delays. You're still going to meet the right person.

345
00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:30,359
Speaker 1: Despite what experts have told you. You're still going to

346
00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:33,840
Speaker 1: have that baby. Don't talk yourself out of it, talk

347
00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:36,919
Speaker 1: yourself into it. It's easy to think nothing goods in

348
00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:39,680
Speaker 1: my future. I've reached my limits. That's going to keep

349
00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:43,359
Speaker 1: you where you are. What God promised you is still

350
00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:46,640
Speaker 1: going to happen. Now. Your part is to rise up,

351
00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:50,760
Speaker 1: believe it, and WA's what God will do. I think

352
00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:55,080
Speaker 1: about Jacob in the scripture. His youngest son, Joseph had

353
00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:57,920
Speaker 1: a big dream. He was going to do great things.

354
00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:02,000
Speaker 1: As a father, Jacob was so proud of Joseph. When

355
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:04,680
Speaker 1: he looked at him, he beamed with joy. He even

356
00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:08,080
Speaker 1: gave him his coat of many colors, which represented the

357
00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:11,639
Speaker 1: favor on his life. One day, he sent Joseph to

358
00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:15,080
Speaker 1: check on his brothers who were in another city. They

359
00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:18,199
Speaker 1: were jealous and ended up selling him as a slave.

360
00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:21,920
Speaker 1: They killed an animal, put blood on Joseph's coat, and

361
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:25,719
Speaker 1: came home showed their father Dad, look what happened. Joseph

362
00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:28,960
Speaker 1: must have been killed by a wild animal. Jacob was

363
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:33,040
Speaker 1: so heartbroken he tore his clothes. He put on sycloth

364
00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:37,520
Speaker 1: for weeks, he mourned month after month. His family tried

365
00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:40,520
Speaker 1: to comfort him, but it was no use. He said,

366
00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:44,440
Speaker 1: I will die in mourning for my son. Well. Thirteen

367
00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:46,879
Speaker 1: years later, there was a great famine in the land.

368
00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:50,760
Speaker 1: Jacob sent those other brothers to Egypt looking for food.

369
00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:54,159
Speaker 1: Little did they know Joseph was in charge of the

370
00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:58,159
Speaker 1: food supply. They came back home and told their father

371
00:22:58,440 --> 00:23:03,439
Speaker 1: this amazing news. Joseph was still alive. Jacob couldn't believe it.

372
00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:07,760
Speaker 1: He was in awe, so overjoyed. Eventually, he and his

373
00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:12,040
Speaker 1: whole family moved to Egypt to live with Joseph. When

374
00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:15,119
Speaker 1: Jacob was one hundred and forty years old, he was

375
00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:18,639
Speaker 1: about to pass He called Joseph and his grandson's in

376
00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:23,639
Speaker 1: to give them the blessing. Imagine how Jacob must have felt.

377
00:23:24,320 --> 00:23:27,560
Speaker 1: He never thought he would see his son again. Now

378
00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:31,560
Speaker 1: he not only has Joseph, but his grandsons are standing

379
00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:34,520
Speaker 1: in front of him. If you would have told Jacob

380
00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:38,120
Speaker 1: this was all going to happen thirteen years earlier, when

381
00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:41,800
Speaker 1: he was heartbroken. In mourning, he would have said, there's

382
00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:45,680
Speaker 1: no way, that's impossible. My son is gone, how could

383
00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:49,240
Speaker 1: I ever see his grandchildren? But look at how awesome

384
00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:52,200
Speaker 1: our God is. He's working in ways that we could

385
00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:58,760
Speaker 1: never imagine. We all have dreams that we've given up on, goals, promises,

386
00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:02,919
Speaker 1: think there's no way. Been through too much, Joel, that

387
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:08,240
Speaker 1: door is closed. I've made mistakes, I've missed too many opportunities. No,

388
00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:11,280
Speaker 1: God is about to surprise you. He's going to do

389
00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:14,959
Speaker 1: something out of the ordinary, something that you didn't see coming,

390
00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:18,439
Speaker 1: that will boggle your mind. You quit believing for it,

391
00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:21,800
Speaker 1: you accepted that it's never going to work out. But

392
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:25,119
Speaker 1: like with Jacob, you're going to stand in awe, not

393
00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:28,480
Speaker 1: believe in your eyes thinking I could have never fad them,

394
00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:32,720
Speaker 1: this would happen. That's how amazing our God is. Now,

395
00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:35,280
Speaker 1: you may be in the middle of a setback, in

396
00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:38,119
Speaker 1: the middle of a silent season, in the middle of

397
00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:41,399
Speaker 1: the morning. That is not the end. God has a

398
00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:44,760
Speaker 1: flourishing finish for you. He hasn't brought you this far

399
00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:48,359
Speaker 1: to leave you. Your greatest victories are not behind you,

400
00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:51,520
Speaker 1: They're still in front of you. Stay in faith, it's

401
00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:55,040
Speaker 1: still going to happen. That was a young woman raised

402
00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:57,720
Speaker 1: by a single mother. Growing up, she began to wonder

403
00:24:57,760 --> 00:25:02,200
Speaker 1: about her father, who he was, why wasn't in her life?

404
00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:04,720
Speaker 1: Her mother had conceived her with this man that she

405
00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:08,200
Speaker 1: didn't really know, just a one night fleeinging. This mother

406
00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:11,800
Speaker 1: was kind of embarrassed and didn't want to elaborate, especially

407
00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:15,600
Speaker 1: to her young daughter. As this child got older, the

408
00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:18,159
Speaker 1: mother tried several times to reach out to the father,

409
00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:22,159
Speaker 1: but he wasn't around, wouldn't return phone calls, didn't want

410
00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:25,359
Speaker 1: to have anything to do with this child. After she

411
00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:29,760
Speaker 1: graduated from college and started her own family, she still

412
00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:32,919
Speaker 1: had this longing deep down to know her father. She

413
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:36,280
Speaker 1: had two beautiful children, thought about all the moments that

414
00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:40,280
Speaker 1: they could be sharing together. She searched the internet, tried

415
00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:43,720
Speaker 1: several other ways, but still nothing. She finally accepted that

416
00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:46,840
Speaker 1: it just wasn't meant to be. But just because we

417
00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:50,320
Speaker 1: give up doesn't mean God gives up. One day, she

418
00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:52,560
Speaker 1: received a note in the mail out of the blue

419
00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:55,880
Speaker 1: said this is your father. If you would like to connect,

420
00:25:56,040 --> 00:25:58,840
Speaker 1: I'd love to talk to you. She couldn't believe it.

421
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:02,159
Speaker 1: After thirty nine years, she was able to meet her father.

422
00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:07,160
Speaker 1: There was no anger, no bitterness, just a joyful reunion, tears,

423
00:26:07,359 --> 00:26:10,960
Speaker 1: laughter and hugs. Was just in time for her father

424
00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:14,040
Speaker 1: to come to the baby dedication of her second child.

425
00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:17,600
Speaker 1: She had given up, but God said, I have a

426
00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:21,200
Speaker 1: surprise for you. I'm gonna bring you to a flourishing finish.

427
00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:25,240
Speaker 1: Are there things that you've given up on? You think

428
00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:28,640
Speaker 1: it's too late, too far gone, never gonna work out.

429
00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:32,600
Speaker 1: God is saying it's still going to happen. The dreams

430
00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:35,639
Speaker 1: He's placed in your heart, the desires he's put in you,

431
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:39,520
Speaker 1: they're already on the schedule. Now do like Zaruba, bel

432
00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:43,920
Speaker 1: and rise up, get your passion back, start believing again,

433
00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:47,920
Speaker 1: start pursuing again. If you will do this, I believe

434
00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:50,959
Speaker 1: and declare, you're about to come out of a silent

435
00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:55,560
Speaker 1: season into a surprise. Things are about to shift, New

436
00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:58,520
Speaker 1: doors are about to open. The right people are gonna

437
00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:03,880
Speaker 1: show up. Healing is breakthroughs, promotion, new levels of your

438
00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:07,960
Speaker 1: destiny in Jesus' name, And if you receive it, can

439
00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:12,440
Speaker 1: you say amen, I'd like to give you an opportunity

440
00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:15,439
Speaker 1: to make Jesus the lord of your life. Would you

441
00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:19,760
Speaker 1: pray with me? Just say Lord Jesus, I repent of

442
00:27:19,800 --> 00:27:24,560
Speaker 1: my sins. Come into my heart. I make you my

443
00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:28,679
Speaker 1: Lord and savior. If you prayed that simple prayer, we

444
00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:31,520
Speaker 1: believe you got born again. We love to send you

445
00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:34,159
Speaker 1: some free information. You can text the number on the

446
00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:36,920
Speaker 1: screen or go to the website. I hope you'll get

447
00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:40,800
Speaker 1: into a good Bible based church and keep God first place.

448
00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:45,639
Speaker 2: We all carry a mental picture of what our life

449
00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:51,879
Speaker 2: can be. Is yours limited? Do you picture yourself stuck, inadequate, defeated?

450
00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:54,959
Speaker 2: Are you willing to change your mindset in order to

451
00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:57,520
Speaker 2: experience a life of blessing and abundance.

452
00:27:58,040 --> 00:28:00,720
Speaker 1: We all have a picture in our mind of ourself,

453
00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:04,720
Speaker 1: our family, our future. And if that picture is negative,

454
00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:08,320
Speaker 1: you see yourself at a disadvantage. Your problems too big,

455
00:28:08,520 --> 00:28:12,760
Speaker 1: it's gonna limit your life. A new book, the Abundance Mindset,
