And I 48 00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:19,680 Speaker 3: like to start with something funny each week. And I 49 00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:22,480 Speaker 3: heard about this eighty five year old man. He was 50 00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:25,400 Speaker 3: out fishing one day and he heard this voice saying, 51 00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:29,080 Speaker 3: pick me up. He looked all around, didn't see anything, 52 00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:31,880 Speaker 3: thought he was dreaming. Heard it again, pick me up. 53 00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:34,840 Speaker 3: He looked down and saw a frog on the ground. 54 00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:38,120 Speaker 3: He said, in amazement, are you talking to me? The 55 00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:41,240 Speaker 3: frog said yes, pick me up and kiss me, and 56 00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:44,560 Speaker 3: I'll turn into a beautiful bride. He quickly picked the 57 00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:46,760 Speaker 3: frog up and put him in his front pocket. The 58 00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:49,200 Speaker 3: frog said, hey, what are you doing. I said, kiss 59 00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:52,880 Speaker 3: me and I'll turn into a beautiful bride. The man said, no, thanks. 60 00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:55,320 Speaker 3: At my age, I'd rather have a talking frog. 61 00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:57,600 Speaker 5: All right. 62 00:02:57,840 --> 00:02:59,919 Speaker 3: Hold up your Bible. Say it like you mean it. 63 00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:03,399 Speaker 3: This is my Bible. I am what it says, I am. 64 00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:06,359 Speaker 3: I have what it says I have. I can do 65 00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:09,040 Speaker 3: what it says I can do. Today I will be 66 00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:13,120 Speaker 3: taught the word of God. I boldly confess my mind 67 00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:16,600 Speaker 3: is alert my heart is recepted. I will never be 68 00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:21,399 Speaker 3: the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you. I want 69 00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:24,960 Speaker 3: to talk to you today about sensing the good things 70 00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:28,600 Speaker 3: God has in store. When God laid out the plans 71 00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:32,160 Speaker 3: for our lives, he lined up the right people, the 72 00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:36,640 Speaker 3: right breaks, and the right opportunities. The scripture talks about 73 00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:40,400 Speaker 3: how time and chance will come together for every person. 74 00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:45,080 Speaker 3: That means there are moments of favor that God has 75 00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:49,280 Speaker 3: already released into your future. If you could pull back 76 00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:52,680 Speaker 3: the curtain and see your whole life, you would see 77 00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:56,480 Speaker 3: how God has already lined up the right breaks to 78 00:03:56,520 --> 00:04:00,840 Speaker 3: come across your path. He's already arranged certain people to 79 00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:03,880 Speaker 3: be good to you. He's already picked out the right 80 00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:08,280 Speaker 3: husband or wife for you and your children. He's already 81 00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:13,000 Speaker 3: lined up solutions to problems you haven't even had. God 82 00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:18,160 Speaker 3: has it already released into your future. These moments of favor, 83 00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:22,240 Speaker 3: moments of blessing, moments of increase. They will help you 84 00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:28,120 Speaker 3: overcome obstacles, accomplish goals, and even thrust you years ahead. 85 00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:32,000 Speaker 3: But so often when we look in our future, we 86 00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:36,040 Speaker 3: don't see how will ever rise higher, how willever fulfill 87 00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:39,000 Speaker 3: our destiny? How our child will ever get back on 88 00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:42,200 Speaker 3: the right track. The problem is we're only looking at 89 00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:45,200 Speaker 3: it in the natural. But the Scripture says here in 90 00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:49,159 Speaker 3: Second Corinthians, we have to walk by faith and not 91 00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:53,320 Speaker 3: by sight. In other words, we have to believe it 92 00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:56,600 Speaker 3: before we're ever going to see it. If you can 93 00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:59,400 Speaker 3: see it, you don't need any faith. But when it 94 00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:02,720 Speaker 3: looks in impossible and it seems like you've reached your 95 00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:06,520 Speaker 3: limits and you don't see how your health could ever improve, 96 00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:10,120 Speaker 3: instead of just going by what you see, if you 97 00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:13,520 Speaker 3: will listen down and hear in your heart, you will 98 00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:17,839 Speaker 3: hear God saying I have a way. Things are turning around. 99 00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:21,480 Speaker 3: A moment of favor is coming. I've already lined up 100 00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:24,280 Speaker 3: the solution. You may not be able to see it, 101 00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:27,320 Speaker 3: but in your heart you will sense that it's on 102 00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:31,840 Speaker 3: its way. I read something interesting about a tarantula. It 103 00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:35,440 Speaker 3: has eight eyes all around its body. But in spite 104 00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:38,880 Speaker 3: of these eyes, its vision is very poor. It can't 105 00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:42,080 Speaker 3: see far off and even up close. It's not sharp 106 00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:46,920 Speaker 3: and clear. But the tarantula is a very precise hunter. 107 00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:51,560 Speaker 3: It's known for its ability to attack and kill. How 108 00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:55,039 Speaker 3: can it be so accurate with its vision being so poor. 109 00:05:55,720 --> 00:06:00,440 Speaker 3: It's because its legs are full of hairy follicle that 110 00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:05,720 Speaker 3: are extremely sensitive, and it can sense something coming long 111 00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:08,920 Speaker 3: before it gets there, even though it can't see well. 112 00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:13,359 Speaker 3: It's extremely perceptive. That's the way we need to be. 113 00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:16,920 Speaker 3: Sometimes when we look in our future, we don't see 114 00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:19,880 Speaker 3: anything good. We don't see how we'll get out of death. 115 00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:22,960 Speaker 3: We don't see how we'll have this far and beyond 116 00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:27,080 Speaker 3: decade that we're talking about. In the natural, it looks impossible, 117 00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:29,880 Speaker 3: just like it's gonna be more of the same. But 118 00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:35,320 Speaker 3: down in here, if we'll be perceptive, we will sense somehow, 119 00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:39,680 Speaker 3: some way it's gonna happen. Business may be slow, the 120 00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:42,960 Speaker 3: economy's down, but in spite of all of that, I 121 00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:47,000 Speaker 3: can sense increase is coming my way. I can sense 122 00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:50,320 Speaker 3: it's my decade of favor. I can sense my greatest 123 00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:53,360 Speaker 3: victories are still out in front of me. We used 124 00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:56,120 Speaker 3: to sing an old song growing up that says, I've 125 00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:59,960 Speaker 3: got a feeling everything's gonna be all right. In other words, 126 00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:03,240 Speaker 3: I can't explain. It doesn't make sense to my mind, 127 00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:07,720 Speaker 3: but I can sense moments of favor are coming my way. 128 00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:11,880 Speaker 3: My finances may be down, I'm not worried. I can 129 00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:16,080 Speaker 3: sense promotion is in my future. The medical report may 130 00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:19,000 Speaker 3: not look good. All the facts are telling me I'm 131 00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:22,160 Speaker 3: not gonna get well. I should get discouraged, I should 132 00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:25,960 Speaker 3: be depressed. But now I've got a feeling everything's gonna 133 00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:29,720 Speaker 3: be all right. See, I've learned sometimes you have to 134 00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:34,160 Speaker 3: turn your mind off. Sometimes there is no logical solution. 135 00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:39,240 Speaker 3: That's why this scripture says, lean not to your own understanding. 136 00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:43,200 Speaker 3: Don't try to figure it all out. If you're constantly 137 00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:48,240 Speaker 3: running the numbers and over analyzing everything, reading the medical 138 00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:51,320 Speaker 3: report every other minute, and looking up your symptoms on 139 00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:55,680 Speaker 3: twenty four different websites, all that's gonna do is dull 140 00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:59,040 Speaker 3: your censor. You need to turn that off and listen 141 00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:02,320 Speaker 3: down in here. This is where God speaks. This is 142 00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:05,840 Speaker 3: where faith rises up. All of a sudden, you'll feel 143 00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:09,640 Speaker 3: a spark of hope. In the natural. It looks impossible, 144 00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:12,840 Speaker 3: but you'll hear down and hear something saying God has 145 00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:16,920 Speaker 3: a way. Favor is in your future. Something good is 146 00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:19,520 Speaker 3: about to happen. God is going to turn it around. 147 00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:22,480 Speaker 3: The breakthrough will be here at any moment. That's what 148 00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:25,280 Speaker 3: we have to get in agreement with turn off the 149 00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:29,600 Speaker 3: reasoning and listen to what you're sensing down in here. Now. 150 00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:31,680 Speaker 3: I know some of you have had some bad breaks, 151 00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:35,400 Speaker 3: a lot of disappointments, And the problem now is your 152 00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:39,720 Speaker 3: censor has become dull. In other words, you're not expecting 153 00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:44,120 Speaker 3: anything good. You're not living with enthusiasm. The good news 154 00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:48,280 Speaker 3: today is your censor is getting a tune up. God 155 00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:52,560 Speaker 3: is birth in new dreams, new life, new vision. New 156 00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:55,800 Speaker 3: seeds of hope are taken root in your heart. You 157 00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:59,360 Speaker 3: may be in difficult times, but God said in Exodus 158 00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:03,760 Speaker 3: thirty three fourteen, I will go with you. I will 159 00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:08,480 Speaker 3: give you rest. Everything will be fine for you. Let 160 00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:13,199 Speaker 3: that promise sink down into your heart. Everything will be fine, 161 00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:17,280 Speaker 3: not some things, not half of it, not ninety nine percent. No, 162 00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:21,000 Speaker 3: If you'll keep your trust in Him, everything is going 163 00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:23,880 Speaker 3: to be just fine for you. Some of you have 164 00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:27,800 Speaker 3: been through a great loss. You're very disappointed. Doesn't look 165 00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:30,760 Speaker 3: like you'll ever see bright days. But God is saying, 166 00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:34,400 Speaker 3: I have beauty for your ashes. I'm about to open 167 00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:37,319 Speaker 3: up a new door. Everything is going to be fine 168 00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:41,440 Speaker 3: for you. Maybe a relationship didn't work out, but that 169 00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:45,000 Speaker 3: is not the end. It's a new beginning. God has 170 00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:48,360 Speaker 3: someone else in your future. Everything is going to be 171 00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:51,520 Speaker 3: fine for you. Some of you just have a lot 172 00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:56,200 Speaker 3: on your plate. You're working hard, raising your children, taking 173 00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:59,240 Speaker 3: care of elderly parents. Doesn't look like it's ever going 174 00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:02,800 Speaker 3: to change. God is saying, come back to that place 175 00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:06,320 Speaker 3: of peace. I want to give you rest. Everything is 176 00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:11,800 Speaker 3: going to be fine for you. Friends. Don't let stress, worry, negativity, 177 00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:16,600 Speaker 3: discouragement dull your censor. Listen down in here. God is saying, 178 00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:20,080 Speaker 3: it's gonna be all right. I've got a moment of 179 00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:23,880 Speaker 3: favor coming. Things are about to turn around. The solution 180 00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:27,400 Speaker 3: is already lined up, The promotion is already on its way. 181 00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:31,240 Speaker 3: The breakthrough could happen at any moment. Now, we've got 182 00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:35,360 Speaker 3: to get in agreement with God. Circumstances may have us 183 00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:38,080 Speaker 3: down on the outside, but we've got to get up 184 00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:42,160 Speaker 3: on the inside. Our attitude should be My health need 185 00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:44,720 Speaker 3: be going down a little bit, but I've got a 186 00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:48,319 Speaker 3: feeling I'm coming back strong. May be a little stressful 187 00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:51,400 Speaker 3: at the office. I don't see how it's ever gonna change, 188 00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:54,000 Speaker 3: but I'm not worried. I walk by faith and not 189 00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:56,920 Speaker 3: by sight. I know a moment of favor is coming. 190 00:10:56,960 --> 00:11:00,000 Speaker 3: My way. I can sense it. Everything is gonna be 191 00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:02,920 Speaker 3: all right. This is what I had to do when 192 00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:06,640 Speaker 3: we were renovating this facility. Cost about one hundred million 193 00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:10,320 Speaker 3: dollars to convert this from a basketball arena to a 194 00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:13,760 Speaker 3: worship facility. A bank loaned us part of the money. 195 00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:17,440 Speaker 3: Toward the end, we had a twenty million dollar payment 196 00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:21,080 Speaker 3: to make. It's a very critical time. The people, many 197 00:11:21,120 --> 00:11:24,000 Speaker 3: of you, had given so generously, and we had made 198 00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:27,720 Speaker 3: all of our other payments, but this final payment that 199 00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:30,520 Speaker 3: would take us out of the construction phase over into 200 00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:34,040 Speaker 3: the regular financing. We found that we were about fifteen 201 00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:37,480 Speaker 3: million dollars short. It was going to be due in 202 00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:41,520 Speaker 3: several months time. Our team ran all the numbers and 203 00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:46,640 Speaker 3: they calculated, projected, moved things around. But no matter what 204 00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:50,240 Speaker 3: we did, we were still millions and millions short. And 205 00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:52,920 Speaker 3: I'd put my name on the line, I'd given them 206 00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:56,040 Speaker 3: my word. In the natural, I should have been worried. 207 00:11:56,520 --> 00:11:59,679 Speaker 3: I should have been losing sleep at night. My mind. 208 00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:01,880 Speaker 3: These thoughts were telling me that it's not going to 209 00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:04,040 Speaker 3: work out. It's going to be a big mess. You're 210 00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:06,280 Speaker 3: not even going to be able to move. In all 211 00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:10,040 Speaker 3: these discouraging thoughts, in my head, but down in here 212 00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:14,160 Speaker 3: it was the most amazing thing. I had an incredible peace. 213 00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:17,600 Speaker 3: I could sense it. Everything is going to be all right. 214 00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:21,280 Speaker 3: God is still on the throne. He's in complete control. 215 00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:25,280 Speaker 3: I couldn't make it work on paper, couldn't explain it. 216 00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:28,720 Speaker 3: My head was telling me no way, but my heart 217 00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:33,040 Speaker 3: was saying yes way. All through the day, instead of worrying, 218 00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:36,200 Speaker 3: I'd go around saying, Father, thank you that you're supplying 219 00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:39,400 Speaker 3: all of our needs. It was your goodness that gave 220 00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:42,240 Speaker 3: us this place, and it's your goodness that will take 221 00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:45,320 Speaker 3: care of us. At that time, the church owned a 222 00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:48,679 Speaker 3: television station that we'd been trying to sell for more 223 00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:52,400 Speaker 3: than three years. The market was very down. No one 224 00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:56,000 Speaker 3: was buying independent stations. We were told the most we 225 00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:58,200 Speaker 3: could get for it if we did sell it was 226 00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:01,959 Speaker 3: eighteen to nineteen million dollars, and we owed eight million 227 00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:04,520 Speaker 3: dollars on it, so even if we were to sell it, 228 00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:07,520 Speaker 3: we would still come up short. But just a few 229 00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:10,920 Speaker 3: weeks before the big payment was due, a buyer for 230 00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:14,800 Speaker 3: the station came along. Things fell into place and he 231 00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:17,960 Speaker 3: bought it. Not for eighteen million, not for nineteen, not 232 00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:20,480 Speaker 3: for twenty, not for twenty five, not for twenty eight, 233 00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:23,360 Speaker 3: not for thirty. He bought it for thirty two million dollars. 234 00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:26,120 Speaker 3: We were able to make that payment, and we've been 235 00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:30,640 Speaker 3: going strong ever since. That was a moment of favor 236 00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:34,560 Speaker 3: that God had already released into my future. All I 237 00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:37,360 Speaker 3: had to do was believe. All I had to do 238 00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:41,280 Speaker 3: was stay in faith and not let doubt and unbelieve 239 00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:46,199 Speaker 3: stop or delay what God had already lined up. Friends, 240 00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:50,240 Speaker 3: God has already lined up solutions for every problem you 241 00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:54,440 Speaker 3: will ever have. He's already lined up the people, the breaks, 242 00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:59,200 Speaker 3: the finances, the opportunity, the wisdom, the ideas. You don't 243 00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:02,480 Speaker 3: have to live life worried. You don't have to go 244 00:14:02,520 --> 00:14:05,559 Speaker 3: around frustrated because it's not happening as fast as you 245 00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:08,320 Speaker 3: would like. No, come back to that place of peace, 246 00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:12,400 Speaker 3: stay at rest knowing that it's on its way. I 247 00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:15,680 Speaker 3: love what the prophet Elijah did. There had been a 248 00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:18,960 Speaker 3: great drought in the land for three and a half years. 249 00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:22,240 Speaker 3: The people were in desperate need of water. One day 250 00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:26,600 Speaker 3: Elijah said to King Ahab, I hear the sound of 251 00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:30,360 Speaker 3: the abundance of rain. The fact is, when he said it, 252 00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:34,280 Speaker 3: there wasn't a cloud in the sky no sign of rain, 253 00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:38,800 Speaker 3: no thunder. Yet he could sense something coming before it 254 00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:42,960 Speaker 3: got there. I'm sure Ahab thought, the heat is getting 255 00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:46,480 Speaker 3: to this old man. There's no rain, there's no thunder. 256 00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:49,360 Speaker 3: Why is he talking like this? No, Elijah didn't hear 257 00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:52,480 Speaker 3: it physically. He heard it down in here, and he 258 00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:56,520 Speaker 3: was bold enough to announce it. That's why I'm always 259 00:14:56,600 --> 00:15:00,200 Speaker 3: announcing to you what I sense in my spirit. And 260 00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:05,960 Speaker 3: I sense and exceedingly abundantly above and beyond decade of 261 00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:10,840 Speaker 3: God's favor for you. I can sense God is about 262 00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:13,800 Speaker 3: to open up doors for you bigger than you've ever 263 00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:17,320 Speaker 3: dreamed of. I can sense you're about to see the 264 00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:21,360 Speaker 3: breakthroughs that you've been praying about. I can sense the 265 00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:24,680 Speaker 3: promises you've been standing on are about to come to pass. 266 00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:29,000 Speaker 3: Like Elijah, the sound I hear over you is the 267 00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:34,480 Speaker 3: sound of abundance, abundance of favor, abundance of health, abundance 268 00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:38,720 Speaker 3: of good breaks, abundance of wisdom, abundance in your finances. 269 00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:42,320 Speaker 3: I hear the sound of an abundance of victory over 270 00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:45,840 Speaker 3: each one of you. And even though Elijah couldn't see 271 00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:48,920 Speaker 3: any sight of rain, he could sense that it was coming. 272 00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:52,480 Speaker 3: If you read the story. It wasn't any time before 273 00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:55,840 Speaker 3: the heavens opened up, the rains came pouring down, and 274 00:15:55,920 --> 00:15:58,840 Speaker 3: the three and a half year draft was ended. Some 275 00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:01,200 Speaker 3: of you today may feel like you've been in a 276 00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:05,280 Speaker 3: drought in your finances, your career, your health, your family. 277 00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:08,600 Speaker 3: But God is saying to you what he said to Elijah. 278 00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:11,440 Speaker 3: I'm about to do a new thing. I'm about to 279 00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:15,040 Speaker 3: open up the windows of heaven. I'm about to release 280 00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:18,920 Speaker 3: a moment of favor that I already have in your future. 281 00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:22,320 Speaker 3: Now you need to do your part and start expecting 282 00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:26,520 Speaker 3: it and declaring it. You may be struggling in your finances, 283 00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:29,560 Speaker 3: but don't go around with a poor mouth. Your report 284 00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:33,000 Speaker 3: should be I can hear the sound of abundance. I 285 00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:36,880 Speaker 3: know promotion and increase are coming my way. You may 286 00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:40,160 Speaker 3: be struggling in your health, but your report should be 287 00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:43,960 Speaker 3: I'm getting better and better. God is restoring health. Unto me, 288 00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:47,960 Speaker 3: my youth is being renewed like the egos. Now, when 289 00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:50,720 Speaker 3: you do that, other people may look at you like 290 00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:54,080 Speaker 3: Ahab looked at Elijah and think, why are they talking 291 00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:57,760 Speaker 3: like that. They're not healthy, they're not blessed, they're not prosperous. No, 292 00:16:57,880 --> 00:17:00,800 Speaker 3: don't worry about it. They can't hear the sound. They 293 00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:04,040 Speaker 3: can't sense what you're sensing. They're just looking at it 294 00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:08,160 Speaker 3: in the natural. But like Elijah, you can sense something 295 00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:12,159 Speaker 3: great is coming long before it gets here. This is 296 00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:14,800 Speaker 3: what a young lady in the scripture did. Her name 297 00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:17,879 Speaker 3: was Ruth. Her husband had been killed in a battle. 298 00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:21,000 Speaker 3: Now she was living with her mother in law. Every 299 00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:23,760 Speaker 3: morning she would go out in the fields and pick 300 00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:26,840 Speaker 3: up the left over wheat that the reapers had missed. 301 00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:31,120 Speaker 3: I'm sure Ruth was tempted to be discouraged. She'd gone 302 00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:35,680 Speaker 3: through this great tragedy. Her heart was broken, her dreams 303 00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:38,760 Speaker 3: were shattered. She could have easily just given up on 304 00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:42,560 Speaker 3: life and settled where she was. But I can imagine 305 00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:45,880 Speaker 3: down deep Ruth had this same promise in her heart. 306 00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:49,480 Speaker 3: Everything is going to be all right. I can't explain. 307 00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:52,320 Speaker 3: It doesn't make sense to my mind. I know I 308 00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:55,400 Speaker 3: should be depressed, I shouldn't be hopeful, but I can 309 00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:59,840 Speaker 3: sense it something great is still in my future. The 310 00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:03,800 Speaker 3: man that owned all those fields was named Boaz. One 311 00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:06,720 Speaker 3: morning he saw Ruth out there working. He had never 312 00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:09,959 Speaker 3: met her, never talked to her, but he said to 313 00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:13,600 Speaker 3: his workers I want you to leave extra wheat on 314 00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:16,560 Speaker 3: the ground on purpose to make it easier on that 315 00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:21,399 Speaker 3: young lady. Notice he didn't talk to her, He talked 316 00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:25,640 Speaker 3: about her. Ruth never heard what he said, but all 317 00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:29,000 Speaker 3: of a sudden, her life got much easier. She had 318 00:18:29,040 --> 00:18:32,000 Speaker 3: more wheat than she could handle. She got done in 319 00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:36,159 Speaker 3: half the amount of time, all because somebody she didn't 320 00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:39,359 Speaker 3: even know put in a good word for her. Here's 321 00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:43,520 Speaker 3: my point. God has already spoken to the right people 322 00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:46,640 Speaker 3: to be good to you. You may not ever even 323 00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:50,760 Speaker 3: hear it, you may not ever know them. But just 324 00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:54,120 Speaker 3: like Ruth, as you're being your best each day, as 325 00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:57,560 Speaker 3: you're honoring God, you are going to come into blessings 326 00:18:57,720 --> 00:19:01,280 Speaker 3: that you've never seen before, blessing that you can't explain. 327 00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:04,960 Speaker 3: You're gonna get breaks that you didn't deserve. People are 328 00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:07,159 Speaker 3: going to go out of their way to help further 329 00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:11,040 Speaker 3: your dreams. That's a moment of favor that God has 330 00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:14,760 Speaker 3: already lined up. This tells me we don't have to 331 00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:17,639 Speaker 3: play up to people to try to win their friendship. 332 00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:20,920 Speaker 3: We don't have to try to manipulate things and try 333 00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:24,119 Speaker 3: to win somebody over gain their favor. No, listen, God 334 00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:26,760 Speaker 3: will give you favor with who you're supposed to have 335 00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:30,040 Speaker 3: favor with. If somebody doesn't want to be your friend, 336 00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:34,520 Speaker 3: don't worry about it. If a door closes, don't get discouraged. 337 00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:37,920 Speaker 3: Just keep being your best every day and God will 338 00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:41,080 Speaker 3: speak to the right people, the people that matter to 339 00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:44,560 Speaker 3: your divine destiny. He'll cause them to be good to you. 340 00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:48,280 Speaker 3: I have a friend that I've known for a long time, 341 00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:51,200 Speaker 3: and he's always had a dream to own his own business. 342 00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:54,959 Speaker 3: Year after year, he's been faithful right where he is 343 00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:58,240 Speaker 3: in the position that he's had, just being his best, 344 00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:02,560 Speaker 3: and he's always being good somebody, not just encouraging them, 345 00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:04,679 Speaker 3: but he'll go over to their house at night and 346 00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:07,480 Speaker 3: fix something for him or give somebody a ride to 347 00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:10,560 Speaker 3: the airport. He just got a giving spirit. In a 348 00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:12,960 Speaker 3: while back, a man that he had known for some 349 00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:15,879 Speaker 3: time asked him to go to dinner. He thought they 350 00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:18,240 Speaker 3: were just going to catch up on old times, but 351 00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:22,119 Speaker 3: this man brought a proposal to start a new business. 352 00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:26,000 Speaker 3: This man already owns a very successful company, but he 353 00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:29,280 Speaker 3: wanted to start something new. My friend thought that he 354 00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:31,960 Speaker 3: just wanted to get his advice about it, maybe get 355 00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:34,679 Speaker 3: some encouragement, but he said no, I don't want just that. 356 00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:37,600 Speaker 3: I want you to be my partner and we will 357 00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:41,040 Speaker 3: split it fifty to fifty. My friend was really thrilled. 358 00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:43,240 Speaker 3: He said, man, I'd love to do that, but I 359 00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:45,400 Speaker 3: don't have the funds like you do. I can't put 360 00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:48,520 Speaker 3: in fifty percent like you can. The man said, don't 361 00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:51,000 Speaker 3: worry about it. I don't need your funds. That's taken 362 00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:54,200 Speaker 3: care of. I just want to bless you because you've 363 00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:57,960 Speaker 3: always been so good to me. Now my friend owns 364 00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:01,360 Speaker 3: fifty percent of a growing business. His dream has come 365 00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:04,520 Speaker 3: to pass. What was that He walked in to a 366 00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:08,600 Speaker 3: moment of favor that God had already lined up for him. 367 00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:14,040 Speaker 3: That business was dropped in his lap, Just like those 368 00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:18,200 Speaker 3: workers were told to leave extra wheat on purpose for Ruth. 369 00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:23,040 Speaker 3: He walked into an incredible opportunity that God had already 370 00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:27,040 Speaker 3: spoken to somebody to leave for him. Friends, God has 371 00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:29,720 Speaker 3: done the same thing for each one of you. He 372 00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:32,600 Speaker 3: has doors that he's going to open that are going 373 00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:35,960 Speaker 3: to amaze you. He has opportunity he's going to bring 374 00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:40,040 Speaker 3: across your path that's greater than you can imagine. Some 375 00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:42,680 Speaker 3: of you kind of think that you've reached your limits. 376 00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:46,840 Speaker 3: And you could never accomplish your dreams, never pay off 377 00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:50,320 Speaker 3: your house, never leave anything for your children. No, you 378 00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:54,479 Speaker 3: don't know what God has already spoken over you. You 379 00:21:54,560 --> 00:21:57,840 Speaker 3: don't know the incredible things God has come in your way. 380 00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:02,080 Speaker 3: One verse talks about how when you stay faithful to 381 00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:05,919 Speaker 3: honor God and be your very best each day, it says, 382 00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:11,320 Speaker 3: then payday is coming. Friends. God rewards the people that 383 00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:14,719 Speaker 3: seek after him. Many of you have been faithful, You 384 00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:18,480 Speaker 3: have given, you have served. God is saying your payday 385 00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:21,879 Speaker 3: is on its way. He is about to release a 386 00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:25,240 Speaker 3: moment of favor that He already has in your future. 387 00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:28,760 Speaker 3: All God has to do is speak to one person, 388 00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:32,560 Speaker 3: and your whole life can change for the better. I 389 00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:36,359 Speaker 3: think about how when we were trying to acquire this facility, 390 00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:39,840 Speaker 3: the former Compact Center, we needed ten votes from the 391 00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:42,800 Speaker 3: city council members. We had worked on this for over 392 00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:45,960 Speaker 3: three years now. Up to the last week, we had 393 00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:49,159 Speaker 3: the ten votes, but then one of the council members 394 00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:52,200 Speaker 3: changed his mind and decided to be out of town. 395 00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:55,920 Speaker 3: Him not being there was just like a vote against us. 396 00:22:56,080 --> 00:23:00,000 Speaker 3: We needed his vote. We were so discouraged, so disappoint 397 00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:02,520 Speaker 3: It looked like all of our work had just gone 398 00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:06,400 Speaker 3: down the drain. But we got word the night before 399 00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:11,280 Speaker 3: the main vote that a young Jewish council member changed 400 00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:14,159 Speaker 3: his mind and was going to vote for us. We 401 00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:17,200 Speaker 3: couldn't believe it. We had worked on him for over 402 00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:20,040 Speaker 3: two years. I had done my best to try to 403 00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:22,679 Speaker 3: convince him to persuade him, but I could never do it. 404 00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:26,680 Speaker 3: After the vote we got the facility, I asked him 405 00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:30,280 Speaker 3: what it was that changed his mind. He told how 406 00:23:30,320 --> 00:23:33,639 Speaker 3: he got a call from a long lost friend of 407 00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:36,359 Speaker 3: his that he hadn't spoken to in years and years. 408 00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:39,959 Speaker 3: She was an elderly Jewish lady that he had a 409 00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:44,000 Speaker 3: great deal of respect for. He said, she told me, 410 00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:47,720 Speaker 3: in no uncertain terms that I was to vote for 411 00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:51,120 Speaker 3: your church. And it was that one phone call, that 412 00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:55,800 Speaker 3: one lady that changed my mind. The funny thing is, 413 00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:59,520 Speaker 3: I don't know who that lady was. I never met her. 414 00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:02,399 Speaker 3: I never ask her to call. You know what she was? 415 00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:06,159 Speaker 3: She was our Boas God did for us what we 416 00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:10,320 Speaker 3: couldn't do for ourselves. God calls somebody we didn't even 417 00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:13,040 Speaker 3: know to put in a good word for us, and 418 00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:17,080 Speaker 3: here we are today. Friends. God knows who he needs 419 00:24:17,119 --> 00:24:19,800 Speaker 3: to influence to get you to where you're supposed to be. 420 00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:22,720 Speaker 3: You may not be able to persuade them. They may 421 00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:24,840 Speaker 3: not want to be your friend. Don't worry about it. 422 00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:27,760 Speaker 3: God will speak to the right people that can make 423 00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:30,760 Speaker 3: a difference. He's got it all lined up. But some 424 00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:33,840 Speaker 3: of you little frustrated because you're trying to make it 425 00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:37,080 Speaker 3: happen on your own, trying to convince somebody to like you, 426 00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:40,000 Speaker 3: trying to impress them. No, listen, just do your best 427 00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:42,800 Speaker 3: and let God take care of the rest. Do what 428 00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:45,000 Speaker 3: you can do, and then trust God to do what 429 00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:49,520 Speaker 3: you can't do. You have no idea the amazing things 430 00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:52,719 Speaker 3: that God has spoken over your life, the incredible doors 431 00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:56,840 Speaker 3: he's going to open. He has opportunity and promotion that 432 00:24:56,920 --> 00:24:59,520 Speaker 3: he's going to bring across your path that's greater than 433 00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:03,520 Speaker 3: you've ever imagined. I think about how one young lady 434 00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:08,600 Speaker 3: from the New York Yankee Baseball Organization really liked our ministry. 435 00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:11,399 Speaker 3: She had been to some of our Nights of Hope, 436 00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:14,399 Speaker 3: and she invited us to come and open up the 437 00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:18,440 Speaker 3: New Yankee Ballpark. She was not in the top management. 438 00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:21,960 Speaker 3: She had to go through level after level after level. 439 00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:25,120 Speaker 3: It could have been stopped at any point they could 440 00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:28,520 Speaker 3: have come up with plenty of reasons not to do it. Hey, 441 00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:31,080 Speaker 3: it's just too new. We don't want anybody on the field. 442 00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:34,040 Speaker 3: We've got too many bugs to work out. There were 443 00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:37,680 Speaker 3: plenty of excuses they could have found. But listen, when 444 00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:41,200 Speaker 3: God wants something done, it's gonna get done. No person 445 00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:47,240 Speaker 3: can stand against him. She got approval after approval after approval, 446 00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:50,399 Speaker 3: things fell into place. You know how last April we 447 00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:54,600 Speaker 3: opened up the new Yankee Stadium all because God spoke 448 00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:58,640 Speaker 3: to one young lady, one young girl. God gave her 449 00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:01,840 Speaker 3: a desire to be good to us, and she opened 450 00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:05,119 Speaker 3: a door bigger than we've ever even imagined. That was 451 00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:08,720 Speaker 3: another moment of favor that God had already released into 452 00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:12,240 Speaker 3: our future. And in the coming days, God is going 453 00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:15,680 Speaker 3: to give you favor with the right people. You don't 454 00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:18,800 Speaker 3: need favor with everyone. You just need favor with the 455 00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:22,560 Speaker 3: right one. It doesn't matter how high they are or 456 00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:26,120 Speaker 3: how low they are. All that matters is God has 457 00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:29,639 Speaker 3: ordained them to be good to you. He's going to 458 00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:32,480 Speaker 3: speak to people about you that you don't even know about. 459 00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:34,639 Speaker 3: That's going to give you a new level of influence. 460 00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:38,879 Speaker 3: Don't be surprised when door's open bigger than you've ever imagined. 461 00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:42,680 Speaker 3: That's God moving on a boaz. Don't be surprised when 462 00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:46,640 Speaker 3: you get breaks that you didn't really deserve. Somewhere God 463 00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:49,600 Speaker 3: spoke to somebody to be good to you. I want 464 00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:52,840 Speaker 3: you to go into this new decade not just excited 465 00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:55,879 Speaker 3: about your future, but I want you to start sensing 466 00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:59,760 Speaker 3: what's coming. You've got to activate your faith, our attitude 467 00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:03,119 Speaker 3: s be. I can sense it. Something good is about 468 00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:06,040 Speaker 3: to happen. I can sense it. Things are changing in 469 00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:09,280 Speaker 3: my favor. In the natural. It may not look like it. 470 00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:12,119 Speaker 3: I can't see it, but I can sense it. I 471 00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:15,720 Speaker 3: walk by faith and not by sight. When you do that, 472 00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:19,600 Speaker 3: your faith is being released. I just want to declare 473 00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:22,600 Speaker 3: this over every one of you. You've been faithful. You 474 00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:26,280 Speaker 3: need to get ready. Your payday is coming. You're about 475 00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:29,480 Speaker 3: to walk into a moment of favor that God has 476 00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:33,040 Speaker 3: already released into your future. God is going to take 477 00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:36,280 Speaker 3: you places that you've never imagined. He is opening up 478 00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:40,200 Speaker 3: doors that no man can shut. He has already spoken 479 00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:43,200 Speaker 3: to the right people about you. You're going to come 480 00:27:43,240 --> 00:27:46,200 Speaker 3: into these blessings that you didn't even have to struggle for. 481 00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:48,960 Speaker 3: You're going to get promoted even though you were not 482 00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:52,840 Speaker 3: the most qualified. God's face is shining down on you. 483 00:27:53,520 --> 00:27:56,040 Speaker 3: This is what the scripture says. God is going to 484 00:27:56,080 --> 00:27:59,280 Speaker 3: give you houses that you didn't have to build, vineyards 485 00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:02,960 Speaker 3: that you didn't wells that you didn't have to dig. 486 00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:11,800 Speaker 3: That's the goodness of God. I've seen it in my 487 00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:14,320 Speaker 3: own life. Now I know if God did it from me, 488 00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:17,399 Speaker 3: if he did it for Ruth, he wants to do 489 00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:20,000 Speaker 3: it for you. Now. I don't know about you, but 490 00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:22,800 Speaker 3: I can sense this is going to be a decade 491 00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:29,200 Speaker 3: of exceedingly abundantly above and beyond favor. I can sense 492 00:28:29,280 --> 00:28:34,520 Speaker 3: that things are accelerating. God is about to shift you higher, 493 00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:38,760 Speaker 3: thrust you faster than you ever even imagine. I can 494 00:28:38,840 --> 00:28:42,920 Speaker 3: hear the sound of abundance, the sound of good breaks, 495 00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:47,400 Speaker 3: the sound of healing, the sound of promotion, the sound 496 00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:51,320 Speaker 3: of victory over our lives. I'm asking you today to 497 00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:55,000 Speaker 3: get your censor going in the right direction. Get up 498 00:28:55,040 --> 00:29:01,200 Speaker 3: every morning expecting God's goodness, expecting breakthroughs, affecting to accomplish 499 00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:04,840 Speaker 3: your gods.
