There were four passengers, but only 49 00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:16,240 Speaker 5: three parachutes. The first passenger said, I'm a leading heart surgeon. 50 00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:19,920 Speaker 5: My patients need me. Took the first parachute and jumped. 51 00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:24,160 Speaker 5: The second passenger said, I'm a rocket scientist, one of 52 00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:25,600 Speaker 5: the smartest men alive. 53 00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:29,120 Speaker 4: My country needs me. He took the second parachute and jumped. 54 00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:33,880 Speaker 5: The third passenger, Pope John Paul said to the fourth passenger, 55 00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:37,480 Speaker 5: a ten year old boy scout, son, I'm old and freil. 56 00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:40,919 Speaker 5: I don't have much time left. You take the last parachute. 57 00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:43,440 Speaker 5: The boy scout said, don't worry about it, sir, there 58 00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:47,160 Speaker 5: are still two parachutes left. You see the smartest man alive. 59 00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:49,400 Speaker 5: He just jumped out with my backpack. 60 00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:53,160 Speaker 4: Hold up your Bible. Say it like you mean it. 61 00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:54,800 Speaker 4: This is my Bible. 62 00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:57,560 Speaker 5: I am what it says I am. I have what 63 00:02:57,600 --> 00:02:59,880 Speaker 5: it says I have. I can do what it says 64 00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:02,640 Speaker 5: I can do. Today I will be taught the word 65 00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:06,680 Speaker 5: of God. I boldly confess. My mind is alert, my 66 00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:11,080 Speaker 5: heart is receptive. I will never be the same. In Jesus' name, 67 00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:15,080 Speaker 5: God bless you. I want to talk to you today 68 00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:20,040 Speaker 5: about being a magnet for blessings. When you honor God 69 00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:23,640 Speaker 5: with your life, when you keep him first place, God 70 00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:28,279 Speaker 5: puts something on you called a commanded blessing. The commanded 71 00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:33,000 Speaker 5: blessing is like a magnet. It attracts good breaks, the 72 00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:38,960 Speaker 5: right people, contracts, ideas, resources, influence. You don't have to 73 00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:42,240 Speaker 5: go after these things trying to make it happen in 74 00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:45,360 Speaker 5: your own strength, just your own talent, hoping that. 75 00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:46,080 Speaker 4: Life works out. 76 00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:49,760 Speaker 5: All you've got to do is keep honoring God and 77 00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:53,480 Speaker 5: the right people will find you. The right opportunities will 78 00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:56,920 Speaker 5: come across your path. The favor, the wisdom, the vindication 79 00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:00,720 Speaker 5: will track you down. Why you become a magnet for 80 00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:04,360 Speaker 5: God's goodness. You may have seen on the news these 81 00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:08,680 Speaker 5: heat seeking missiles. The military programs a target into the 82 00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:13,120 Speaker 5: computer and fires the missile off. It can travel thousands 83 00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:17,200 Speaker 5: of miles. The intended target can be flying in the air, 84 00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:20,560 Speaker 5: zigzaging here, and they're trying to lose it. 85 00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:21,600 Speaker 4: Doesn't have a chance. 86 00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:25,680 Speaker 5: That heat seeking missile fallows it everywhere it goes and 87 00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:31,080 Speaker 5: eventually overtakes it and accomplishes its purpose in the same way. 88 00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:34,960 Speaker 5: When you keep God first place, just like that heat 89 00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:39,200 Speaker 5: seeking missile finding a target, God will send blessings that 90 00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:43,760 Speaker 5: chase you down, Favor that overtakes you out of nowhere, 91 00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:48,520 Speaker 5: a good break.

That's not a lucky break, 94 00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:58,200 Speaker 5: that's not a coincidence. That's the commanded blessing on your life. 95 00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:03,080 Speaker 5: Like a magnet. You're attracting the goodness of God. That's 96 00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:06,200 Speaker 5: what it says in Deuteronomy chapter twenty eight. When you 97 00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:11,039 Speaker 5: walk in God's ways, you make pleasing him your highest priority. 98 00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:15,240 Speaker 5: All these blessings will chase you down and overtake you. 99 00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:20,440 Speaker 5: One translation says you will become a magnet for blessings. 100 00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:25,960 Speaker 5: That means because you're honoring God right now, something is 101 00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:31,360 Speaker 5: attracted to you. Not fear sickness, depression, bad breaks, nor 102 00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:35,200 Speaker 5: like a heat seeking missile. Favor is tracking you down. 103 00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:40,360 Speaker 5: Promotion is headed your way. Divine connections are searching you out. 104 00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:44,520 Speaker 5: You're attracting the goodness of God. Now you may be 105 00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:47,640 Speaker 5: facing an illness and instead of thinking, well, I'm never 106 00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:50,520 Speaker 5: gonna get well, you should see the medical report. No, 107 00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:55,200 Speaker 5: your attitude should be Healing is looking for me, Restoration is. 108 00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:58,320 Speaker 4: Tracking me down. You're struggling in your finances. 109 00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:01,560 Speaker 5: Not I'll never get out of death. I'll never accomplish 110 00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:05,960 Speaker 5: my dreams. No abundance is looking for me. Favor is 111 00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:10,000 Speaker 5: in my future. Good breaks are tracking me down.

It's been too long. 114 00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:13,880 Speaker 6: You know. 115 00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:17,760 Speaker 5: The right person is looking for me. Divine connections are 116 00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:21,880 Speaker 5: tracking me down. They're already in my future like a magnet. 117 00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:22,840 Speaker 4: I'm drawing them in. 118 00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:27,480 Speaker 5: When I look back over my life, most of the favor, 119 00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:30,080 Speaker 5: most of the good breaks, I. 120 00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:32,120 Speaker 4: Didn't go after them. They came to me. 121 00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:36,760 Speaker 5: I was simply honoring God being my best, and God 122 00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:38,440 Speaker 5: did more than I could ask or think. 123 00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:41,240 Speaker 4: I never thought I could get up in front of 124 00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:42,159 Speaker 4: people in minister. 125 00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:46,599 Speaker 5: I spent seventeen years behind the scenes here at Lakewood 126 00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:50,719 Speaker 5: doing the television production. Now, I'm not bragging, but during 127 00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:52,080 Speaker 5: those seventeen years. 128 00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:54,280 Speaker 4: I was faithful. I gave it my awe. 129 00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:57,680 Speaker 5: I made my father look the best I possibly could, 130 00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:01,400 Speaker 5: go the extra mile to make sure the lighting was perfect, 131 00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:05,479 Speaker 5: camera angles were just right. I would even go over 132 00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:08,800 Speaker 5: to my parents' house every Saturday night and pick out 133 00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:11,320 Speaker 5: a suit and a tie for my father to wear 134 00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:14,760 Speaker 5: the next day on television. My mother would say, Joel, 135 00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:17,560 Speaker 5: Dad is a grown man. You don't need to come 136 00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:20,120 Speaker 5: over every week. He can pick out his own clothes. 137 00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:23,480 Speaker 5: Problem is, I had seen what my father. 138 00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:26,360 Speaker 4: Picked out before him. Let's just say he liked. 139 00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:29,480 Speaker 5: A lot of color, and I wanted that broadcast to 140 00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:33,520 Speaker 5: be perfect. I wasn't looking for this position. I was 141 00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:34,960 Speaker 5: content where I was. 142 00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:35,920 Speaker 4: Behind the scenes. 143 00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:38,560 Speaker 5: But when my father went to be with the Lord, 144 00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:40,960 Speaker 5: this opportunity came looking for me. 145 00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:44,160 Speaker 4: Never planned on doing it, but it chased me down. 146 00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:48,920 Speaker 5: God's dream for your life is so much bigger than 147 00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:49,440 Speaker 5: your own. 148 00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:51,440 Speaker 4: If you will keep being your. 149 00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:55,160 Speaker 5: Best right where you are, you will come into favor, promotion, 150 00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:59,200 Speaker 5: opportunity bigger than you ever imagined. You won't have to 151 00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:02,600 Speaker 5: go after it. It will come to you because. 152 00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:04,840 Speaker 4: You're honoring God. Like a magnet, you'll draw it in. 153 00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:08,560 Speaker 5: When I was in my early twenties, I walked into 154 00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:11,920 Speaker 5: a jewelry store and met Victoria for the first time. 155 00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:15,240 Speaker 5: Like a magnet, she couldn't keep her hands off of me. 156 00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:20,760 Speaker 5: This is my side of the story anyway. But we 157 00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:23,520 Speaker 5: went out on our first date and had so much fun. 158 00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:25,080 Speaker 4: Actually, here at the Compact center. 159 00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:28,040 Speaker 5: The next week, she invited me to come to our 160 00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:30,160 Speaker 5: house and have dinner, and we laughed and had a 161 00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:33,400 Speaker 5: great time. I called her the next day at work 162 00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:35,760 Speaker 5: to thank her, but she was busy and. 163 00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:36,640 Speaker 4: Not able to talk. 164 00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:39,520 Speaker 5: Called her that evening at home and she wasn't there. 165 00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:42,320 Speaker 5: Called her the next day, and the next, and the 166 00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:45,120 Speaker 5: next and the next, but she was always either busy 167 00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:49,199 Speaker 5: not available, but for some reason she couldn't talk. Finally 168 00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:52,000 Speaker 5: I got the message, she's avoiding me. She doesn't want 169 00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:54,000 Speaker 5: to see me. I thought, that's fine, I won't call 170 00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:57,840 Speaker 5: her anymore. About two weeks later, I was sitting in 171 00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:01,920 Speaker 5: a little diner eating breakfast early one morning, all by myself, 172 00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:05,800 Speaker 5: and Victoria comes walking in. She saw my car out 173 00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:07,959 Speaker 5: in the parking lot, and she came and sat at 174 00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:10,000 Speaker 5: the table and said, Joe, I'm so sorry I keep 175 00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:13,160 Speaker 5: missing all of your calls. She came back to her 176 00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:21,280 Speaker 5: senses and came looking for me. She ate breakfast and 177 00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:25,440 Speaker 5: then made me pay for it. But friends, God has 178 00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:29,400 Speaker 5: the right people in your future. When you honor God 179 00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:33,880 Speaker 5: like a magnet the person God's designed for you, the 180 00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:37,319 Speaker 5: right one will come across your path. You don't have 181 00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:40,560 Speaker 5: to worry You don't have to play games and try 182 00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:42,360 Speaker 5: to convince somebody to like you. 183 00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:45,560 Speaker 4: If they don't like you, let them go. If they 184 00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:47,200 Speaker 4: don't celebrate. 185 00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:50,840 Speaker 5: You and see you as a gift, a treasure, as one. 186 00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:51,280 Speaker 1: Of a kind. 187 00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:52,760 Speaker 4: Move forward. 188 00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:58,400 Speaker 5: Don't hang on to things that are not attracted to you. 189 00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:01,960 Speaker 5: The right one will not be able to live without you. 190 00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:05,240 Speaker 5: The one God designed will think you're the greatest thing 191 00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:08,360 Speaker 5: in the world. You keep being your best right where 192 00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:11,160 Speaker 5: you are, honoring God, and God will do for you 193 00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:12,160 Speaker 5: what he did for me. 194 00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:15,200 Speaker 4: He'll cause you to be at the right place at 195 00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:15,959 Speaker 4: the right time. 196 00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:20,280 Speaker 5: Those divine connections will come across your path. But what 197 00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:23,800 Speaker 5: God has planned for you is much bigger than anything 198 00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:26,679 Speaker 5: you've ever dreamed of. If God were to show you 199 00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:31,040 Speaker 5: right now where He's taken you, the favor, the promotion, 200 00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:34,880 Speaker 5: the influence, it would boggle your mind. You may think, 201 00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:37,840 Speaker 5: like I did, that you're not the most qualified. You 202 00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:41,280 Speaker 5: don't have the personality, the talent. That's okay, it's not 203 00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:45,280 Speaker 5: going to happen just because of your talent, your personality, 204 00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:48,560 Speaker 5: your hard work. It's going to happen because of the 205 00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:53,240 Speaker 5: commanded blessing on your life. God's anointing on you is 206 00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:56,720 Speaker 5: more important than your talent, your education, than what family 207 00:10:56,800 --> 00:11:00,360 Speaker 5: you come from. You can have less talent, but with 208 00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:03,520 Speaker 5: the favor of God, you will go further than people 209 00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:06,480 Speaker 5: that have much more talent. You may not see how 210 00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:10,000 Speaker 5: this can happen. Does it seem possible? You don't have 211 00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:12,680 Speaker 5: to figure it out. If you'll just keep being your 212 00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:15,480 Speaker 5: best right where you are, getting to work on time, 213 00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:18,120 Speaker 5: doing more than you have to, being a person of 214 00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:22,480 Speaker 5: excellence and integrity, the right people will find you. The 215 00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:24,199 Speaker 5: right opportunities will. 216 00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:24,760 Speaker 4: Track you down. 217 00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:30,240 Speaker 5: Now, don't be frustrated if it doesn't happen on your timetable. 218 00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:32,360 Speaker 4: You've got to pass some tests. 219 00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:35,839 Speaker 5: You've got to prove to God that you'll be faithful 220 00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:39,880 Speaker 5: right where you are. If you're not faithful in the wilderness, 221 00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:42,640 Speaker 5: how can God trust you to be faithful in the 222 00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:43,439 Speaker 5: promised land. 223 00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:46,520 Speaker 4: You've got to keep a good attitude when you're not 224 00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:47,800 Speaker 4: getting your way. 225 00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:50,240 Speaker 5: You've got to be your best when you're not getting 226 00:11:50,320 --> 00:11:54,560 Speaker 5: any credit. Do the right thing when it's difficult. That's 227 00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:58,200 Speaker 5: when your character is being developed. If you will pass 228 00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:01,520 Speaker 5: these tests, you can be certain God will get you 229 00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:04,760 Speaker 5: to where you're supposed to be. The right people are 230 00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:09,000 Speaker 5: in your future, the right opportunities, the good breaks, the wisdom, 231 00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:10,640 Speaker 5: the contracts, the houses. 232 00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:14,760 Speaker 4: God said, no good thing will he withhold because you 233 00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:15,600 Speaker 4: walk up rightly. 234 00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:19,920 Speaker 5: I've learned one touch of God's favor can take you 235 00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:22,880 Speaker 5: in a split second further than you could go in 236 00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:26,240 Speaker 5: your whole lifetime on your own. Quit thinking, oh, I'm 237 00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:30,160 Speaker 5: getting behind, I'll never accomplish my dreams. No, God has 238 00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:35,520 Speaker 5: explosive blessings in your future. He has blessings that will thrust. 239 00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:36,560 Speaker 4: You years and years ahead. 240 00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:39,840 Speaker 5: Now you say, Joel, this all sounds good, but I 241 00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:42,480 Speaker 5: don't really have the talent, I don't know the right people, 242 00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:43,640 Speaker 5: I don't have the money. 243 00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:45,560 Speaker 4: That's okay, God does. 244 00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:50,480 Speaker 5: He's already lined up everything you need. There are good 245 00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:53,679 Speaker 5: breaks right now that have your name on it. There 246 00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:57,240 Speaker 5: are contracts, buildings, businesses that have your name on it. 247 00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:02,120 Speaker 5: There are ideas, inventions, books, movies, songs. 248 00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:02,920 Speaker 4: That have your name on it. 249 00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:06,640 Speaker 5: As you keep honoring God being your best, like that 250 00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:09,679 Speaker 5: magnet you're going to draw in what already has your 251 00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:12,400 Speaker 5: name on it? When is this going to happen at 252 00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:16,240 Speaker 5: the exact right time If it hasn't happened yet, don't 253 00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:17,080 Speaker 5: get discouraged. 254 00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:18,400 Speaker 4: God knows what he's doing. 255 00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:21,360 Speaker 5: If it would have happened earlier, it wouldn't have been 256 00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:25,440 Speaker 5: the best time. Just keep being faithful right where you are, 257 00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:29,200 Speaker 5: and keep living with this attitude that something good is 258 00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:32,960 Speaker 5: coming your way. When you do that, like a magnet, 259 00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:35,800 Speaker 5: you're going to draw in what already has your name 260 00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:36,120 Speaker 5: on it. 261 00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:38,720 Speaker 4: There's healing with your name on it. 262 00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:41,959 Speaker 5: You single people, there's a husband a wife with your 263 00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:44,960 Speaker 5: name on it. Some of you couples are believing to 264 00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:47,679 Speaker 5: have a child. There's a baby with your name on it. 265 00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:52,079 Speaker 5: God has already chosen them to be yours. You pastors, leaders, 266 00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:55,400 Speaker 5: you need a larger auditorium. There's a new sanctuary with 267 00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:58,320 Speaker 5: your name on it. There's a business with your name 268 00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:01,200 Speaker 5: on it. There's a number one movie with your name 269 00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:04,120 Speaker 5: on it. There's an invention that will touch the world 270 00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:04,680 Speaker 5: with your. 271 00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:05,160 Speaker 4: Name on it. 272 00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:08,880 Speaker 5: Now here's the whole key. You don't have to seek 273 00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:13,040 Speaker 5: the blessing. Seek God, and the blessings will seek after you. 274 00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:17,160 Speaker 5: This is where we miss it. Very often. We think 275 00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:20,120 Speaker 5: I got to get this promotion, I got to meet 276 00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:23,400 Speaker 5: this person, I gotta get my career going faster. Joel 277 00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:27,280 Speaker 5: and yes, we have to use our talent, be determined, 278 00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:30,600 Speaker 5: take steps of faith. But you can stay in peace. 279 00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:34,800 Speaker 5: You can live at rest knowing that because you're honoring God, 280 00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:39,040 Speaker 5: the right people will find you. The right opportunities will 281 00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:43,960 Speaker 5: track you down. Proverbs thirteen says the wealth of the 282 00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:48,840 Speaker 5: ungodly will eventually find its way into the hands of 283 00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:52,920 Speaker 5: the righteous, for whom it has been laid up for. Notice, 284 00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:56,480 Speaker 5: because you're the righteous, there's something God has laid up 285 00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:56,920 Speaker 5: for you. 286 00:14:57,680 --> 00:14:58,720 Speaker 4: The good news is. 287 00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:02,600 Speaker 5: At the right time. Eventually it's going to find you. 288 00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:07,840 Speaker 5: That means right now, something's looking for you, not defeat, struggle, lack. 289 00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:08,960 Speaker 4: You are the righteous. 290 00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:12,560 Speaker 5: Favor is looking for you, good breaks are looking for you, 291 00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:14,200 Speaker 5: healing is looking for you. 292 00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:16,200 Speaker 4: Influence is looking for you. 293 00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:17,040 Speaker 6: Now. 294 00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:20,000 Speaker 5: You may not have seen it yet, but don't get discouraged. 295 00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:25,000 Speaker 5: Keep honoring God, and he promises some of these eventuallyes 296 00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:29,120 Speaker 5: are going to track you down. This beautiful facility the 297 00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:30,400 Speaker 5: form of Compact Center. 298 00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:31,560 Speaker 4: You know what this is. 299 00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:35,560 Speaker 5: And eventually it was laid up for us. It had 300 00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:37,760 Speaker 5: our name on it, and at the right time it 301 00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:41,400 Speaker 5: found us. This building was built back in the early 302 00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:45,480 Speaker 5: nineteen seventies. It was first called the Summit. Then they 303 00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:48,800 Speaker 5: changed the name to the Compact Center. But I believe 304 00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:51,880 Speaker 5: if you would appeal back the names. When it was 305 00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:54,840 Speaker 5: built way back then, you looked underneath, you would have 306 00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:56,440 Speaker 5: seen the name Lakewood Church. 307 00:15:57,280 --> 00:15:59,520 Speaker 4: God had us in mind when they built it. 308 00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:03,320 Speaker 5: Eventually, God said, all right, it's time to hand it over. 309 00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:04,520 Speaker 4: Friends. 310 00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:08,160 Speaker 5: There are some eventuallyes in your future. The great thing 311 00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:09,920 Speaker 5: is you don't have to go after them. 312 00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:11,200 Speaker 4: Just go after God. 313 00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:15,440 Speaker 5: Keep him first place, live a life of excellence and integrity, 314 00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:19,400 Speaker 5: and God promises the eventuallyes will find. 315 00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:20,840 Speaker 4: Their way into your hands. 316 00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:25,120 Speaker 5: This is what Jesus said, Seek first the kingdom, and 317 00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:28,920 Speaker 5: all these things will be added under you. Everything you 318 00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:32,480 Speaker 5: need to fulfill your destiny has already been laid up 319 00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:35,640 Speaker 5: for you. Now you just have to make pleasing God 320 00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:37,160 Speaker 5: your highest priority. 321 00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:40,040 Speaker 4: In other words, before you give into. 322 00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:43,200 Speaker 5: Temptation, No, I'm going to please God and walk away. 323 00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:45,160 Speaker 4: I want to fulfill my destiny. 324 00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:48,720 Speaker 5: I want to come into my eventualies. Before you tell 325 00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:51,680 Speaker 5: that person off, No, I'm gonna please God and keep 326 00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:55,080 Speaker 5: my mouth closed at the office. They're not treating you right. 327 00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:58,240 Speaker 5: You feel like slacking off. No, I'm gonna please God 328 00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:01,160 Speaker 5: and keep being my best I know I'm not working 329 00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:01,800 Speaker 5: under people. 330 00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:03,000 Speaker 4: I'm working under God. 331 00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:06,480 Speaker 5: You live like that, and all the forces of darkness 332 00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:10,879 Speaker 5: cannot keep you from your destiny. The amazing thing about 333 00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:13,880 Speaker 5: this building is I didn't go after it. 334 00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:14,600 Speaker 4: It came to me. 335 00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:19,040 Speaker 5: I tried to buy land twice and build a new sanctuary, 336 00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:22,840 Speaker 5: but both times the property was sold out from under us. 337 00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:26,119 Speaker 4: I thought we're stuck. There's no more room, there's no 338 00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:26,800 Speaker 4: way to grow. 339 00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:30,679 Speaker 5: But one day an old friend out of the blue, 340 00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:34,000 Speaker 5: unexpectedly called and said he wanted to talk to me 341 00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:34,800 Speaker 5: about something. 342 00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:36,199 Speaker 4: We had lunch. 343 00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:40,240 Speaker 5: He said, Joel, the Houston Rockets basketball team is about 344 00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:42,760 Speaker 5: to move out of the Compact Center. That would be 345 00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:47,399 Speaker 5: a great facility for Lakewood. When he said that, something 346 00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:50,359 Speaker 5: came alive on the inside. Now I never dreamed we 347 00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:54,080 Speaker 5: could have something this beautiful, the premier facility in the 348 00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:57,800 Speaker 5: fourth largest city in America, the second busiest. 349 00:17:57,320 --> 00:18:00,320 Speaker 4: Freeway in the nation.

But God knows what 419 00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:40,160 Speaker 5: He's put in you. The gifts, the talents, the potential. 420 00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:44,440 Speaker 5: You have seeds of greatness on the inside. Because you're 421 00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:48,000 Speaker 5: honoring God, He's going to open doors that no man 422 00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:50,840 Speaker 5: can shut. He's going to bring talent out of you 423 00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:53,640 Speaker 5: that you didn't know you had. He's going to connect 424 00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:57,800 Speaker 5: you with the right people, present you with opportunities that will. 425 00:21:57,560 --> 00:22:00,000 Speaker 4: Thrust you into a new level of your destiny. 426 00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:03,600 Speaker 5: Me in two thousand and four, we were holding one 427 00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:06,359 Speaker 5: of our first Night of Hope events in Madison Square 428 00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:09,720 Speaker 5: Garden in New York City. Earlier that year, I had 429 00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:12,320 Speaker 5: written my first book and it was doing really well. 430 00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:15,440 Speaker 5: That night, there was a publisher from one of the 431 00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:19,440 Speaker 5: largest publishing companies in the world walking by the garden 432 00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:22,159 Speaker 5: on his way to the train station to go home. 433 00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:24,800 Speaker 5: He saw all the people lined up to go into 434 00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:28,199 Speaker 5: the arena. He'd seen people going to basketball games and 435 00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:31,480 Speaker 5: concerts before, but he said he had never seen people 436 00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:35,639 Speaker 5: that excited about going to a meeting. He asked people 437 00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:37,680 Speaker 5: what was going on. They told him it was our. 438 00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:38,760 Speaker 4: Night of Hope. 439 00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:42,600 Speaker 5: The next morning, first thing, he called his main literary 440 00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:46,880 Speaker 5: agent and asked if she knew me Joel Ostein. She said, 441 00:22:46,920 --> 00:22:49,120 Speaker 5: I don't know him personally, but seen his book, seen 442 00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:49,960 Speaker 5: him on television. 443 00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:52,200 Speaker 4: He said, you need to find. 444 00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:55,399 Speaker 5: Him because I'm going to publish his next book. She 445 00:22:55,560 --> 00:22:57,800 Speaker 5: tracked me down set up a meeting. He made an 446 00:22:57,840 --> 00:23:01,480 Speaker 5: offer that boggled my mind. That I couldn't refused. That 447 00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:06,680 Speaker 5: company preprinted more copies of my book than any book 448 00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:09,679 Speaker 5: they had ever published in the company's history. That's what 449 00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:13,840 Speaker 5: happens when you simply honor God. He'll cause people to 450 00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:16,560 Speaker 5: be at the right place at the right time. 451 00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:20,040 Speaker 4: You won't have to seek them out. They'll seek you out. 452 00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:23,440 Speaker 5: Well, Joel, that's cause you're on television. You had that book, 453 00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:25,680 Speaker 5: you got all this gold. No, don't talk to yourself 454 00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:29,080 Speaker 5: out of it. Because you honor God, you have the 455 00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:32,719 Speaker 5: same commanded blessing on your life just like that. 456 00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:35,160 Speaker 4: He's seeking missile finding a target. 457 00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:40,640 Speaker 5: Right now, God has favor tracking you down. Good breaks 458 00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:43,720 Speaker 5: are looking for you, divine connections, the right. 459 00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:45,040 Speaker 4: People are in your future. 460 00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:48,520 Speaker 5: When my father was alive, Victoria and I used to 461 00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:50,840 Speaker 5: go to India with him a couple of times a year. 462 00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:54,320 Speaker 5: One time we met this young pastor that came from 463 00:23:54,359 --> 00:23:59,080 Speaker 5: an extremely poor family. They didn't have electricity or running water. 464 00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:02,240 Speaker 5: They lived out in this open field, in this little 465 00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:05,240 Speaker 5: hut that they had built. The men next door was 466 00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:09,119 Speaker 5: very wealthy. He owned a huge farm, had thousands of 467 00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:12,560 Speaker 5: cattle and all these different crops, and he would sell 468 00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:16,440 Speaker 5: milk and vegetables to the village people, but he was 469 00:24:16,520 --> 00:24:18,919 Speaker 5: kind of greedy and charged more than he should. 470 00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:20,240 Speaker 4: Many people couldn't afford it. 471 00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:24,000 Speaker 5: One day, about ten of his cows got out and 472 00:24:24,119 --> 00:24:26,520 Speaker 5: came over to the little hut where the pastor and 473 00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:30,000 Speaker 5: his family lived. Having a cow was a big deal. 474 00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:33,879 Speaker 5: You could have milk and other products to sell to people. 475 00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:36,920 Speaker 5: The workers came and got those ten cows put them 476 00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:39,439 Speaker 5: back in the owner's fence. The next day, the same 477 00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:41,520 Speaker 5: ten cows got out came back over. 478 00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:44,760 Speaker 4: This happened again and again and again. 479 00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:48,680 Speaker 5: The owner got so frustrated he told his workers tell 480 00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:52,720 Speaker 5: the pasture he can have those ten cows given to him. 481 00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:55,040 Speaker 4: As a gift. That pastor was so thrilled. 482 00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:58,760 Speaker 5: He started selling milk and other dairy products to the 483 00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:01,920 Speaker 5: people in the village, but he sold them for much less. 484 00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:04,000 Speaker 4: Before long, people. 485 00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:06,399 Speaker 5: Were lined up at his door. He was able to 486 00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:10,320 Speaker 5: buy more cows. His business kept growing so much so 487 00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:13,840 Speaker 5: that that other owner came over and said, you're putting. 488 00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:14,400 Speaker 4: Me out of business. 489 00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:17,160 Speaker 5: I can't compete with you. Why don't you take over 490 00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:21,680 Speaker 5: my company. This pastor purchased his company for a fraction 491 00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:26,280 Speaker 5: of its value, and today he has a very successful company. 492 00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:28,080 Speaker 4: With several hundred employees. 493 00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:31,800 Speaker 5: But it all started when those cows came looking for 494 00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:33,440 Speaker 5: him and wouldn't go home. 495 00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:37,160 Speaker 4: What is that? Like a magnet? He attracted the goodness 496 00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:37,560 Speaker 4: of God. 497 00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:41,760 Speaker 5: Now you don't have to worry about how it's all 498 00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:42,560 Speaker 5: going to work out. 499 00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:45,480 Speaker 4: God knows how to have the cows find you. 500 00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:48,840 Speaker 5: What has your name on it, the real estate, the 501 00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:52,679 Speaker 5: good breaks, the businesses. The favor will eventually find this 502 00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:56,840 Speaker 5: way into your hands. Proverbs puts it this way. Trouble 503 00:25:56,960 --> 00:26:01,480 Speaker 5: chases sinners, but blessings chase the right. You are the 504 00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:05,879 Speaker 5: righteous right now, Favor is chasing you, Promotion is chasing you, 505 00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:07,840 Speaker 5: Healing is chasing you. 506 00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:11,040 Speaker 4: Cows are looking for you.
