49
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:18,200
Speaker 5: I like to start each week with something kind of funny,

50
00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:19,480
Speaker 5: and I heard about.

51
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:20,200
Speaker 3: This country couple.

52
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:24,240
Speaker 5: They were celebrating their fiftieth wedding anniversary. They had never

53
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:27,800
Speaker 5: had an argument before. Somebody asked them the secret of

54
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:31,480
Speaker 5: their success. The husband explained, as they were leaving the

55
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:34,720
Speaker 5: church going on their honeymoon, the wife's horse.

56
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:35,359
Speaker 3: Refused to go.

57
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:38,560
Speaker 5: She got off, looked the horse in the eyes and said,

58
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 5: that's one. He went a little bit further, stopped again.

59
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:44,639
Speaker 5: She got off, looked at the horse in the eyes

60
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:47,440
Speaker 5: and said that's two. He went a little bit more,

61
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:51,120
Speaker 5: but once again he stopped. This time, she got off,

62
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:54,959
Speaker 5: pulled out her revolver, and shot the horse dead. The

63
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:57,360
Speaker 5: husband said, what in the world are you doing. You

64
00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:00,360
Speaker 5: can't just shoot an animal. She looked at him and said, honey,

65
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 5: that's one.

66
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:04,120
Speaker 3: All right.

67
00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:06,880
Speaker 5: Hold it up. Say it like you mean it. This

68
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:09,639
Speaker 5: is my Bible. I am what it says, I am,

69
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:11,280
Speaker 5: I have what it says.

70
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 3: I have.

71
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:14,880
Speaker 5: I can do what it says I can do. Today,

72
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:17,840
Speaker 5: I will be taught the word of God. I boldly

73
00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:22,080
Speaker 5: confess my mind is alert, my heart is receptive. I

74
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:26,280
Speaker 5: will never be the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you.

75
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:29,960
Speaker 5: I want to talk to you today about programming your

76
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:34,480
Speaker 5: mind for victory. Our mind is like a computer. What

77
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:36,040
Speaker 5: we put in.

78
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:36,480
Speaker 3: We're going to get out.

79
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:40,040
Speaker 5: If you go around thinking I'll never get out of debt,

80
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:43,640
Speaker 5: I'll never lose this weight. The economy is going to

81
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:46,560
Speaker 5: probably sink my business. I don't think my marriage is

82
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:50,040
Speaker 5: gonna last. Your own thoughts will set the limits for

83
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:54,280
Speaker 5: your life. You need to reprogram your thinking all through

84
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 5: the day. We should be dwelling on. This is going

85
00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:00,320
Speaker 5: to be a great day. God's favor is on my life.

86
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:04,160
Speaker 5: Blessings are chasing me down. No obstacle is too big

87
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 5: for me. I know I'm more than a conquer When

88
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:11,160
Speaker 5: you do that, you're programming your mind for victory.

89
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:15,080
Speaker 3: Jesus put it this way. You will become what you believe.

90
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 3: That means.

91
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:20,040
Speaker 5: If you believe you'll always be heavy, then you'll always

92
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:23,480
Speaker 5: be heavy. If you believe you'll never break that addiction,

93
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:25,000
Speaker 5: then you'll never break it.

94
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:26,440
Speaker 3: If you believe that.

95
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:29,720
Speaker 5: You're not attractive, you're not that talented, you don't have

96
00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:32,520
Speaker 5: much to offer, then you will go through life with

97
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:35,599
Speaker 5: low self esteem and miss out on the fullness of

98
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:39,279
Speaker 5: God's blessing. You've got to turn it around and start

99
00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:43,240
Speaker 5: programming your mind for victory. We should be dwelling on

100
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:48,080
Speaker 5: thoughts like I'm blessed, I'm talented, I'm strong, I'm creative,

101
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:50,560
Speaker 5: i am more than a conquer When you do that,

102
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:53,240
Speaker 5: you're going to draw in the good things of God.

103
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:55,200
Speaker 3: Now, read about a study that.

104
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:59,200
Speaker 5: Was done with people that needed arthroscopic knee surgery. Their

105
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:02,520
Speaker 5: knees were worn down and they needed to be cleaned out.

106
00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:07,000
Speaker 5: These doctors, with permission from the family, took a certain

107
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:11,039
Speaker 5: group of patients and instead of performing the actual surgery

108
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:14,320
Speaker 5: where they cleaned the knee out, they simply made three

109
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:19,120
Speaker 5: small incisions around the knee as if they had done something.

110
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:22,520
Speaker 5: When the patient woke up after the operation, of course,

111
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:26,560
Speaker 5: they thought they'd had the regular surgery. What's interesting is

112
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:30,200
Speaker 5: two years later, the patients that had the fake surgery

113
00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:34,800
Speaker 5: reported just as much relief from the pain as the

114
00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:38,440
Speaker 5: patients that had the actual surgery, and it wasn't just

115
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:42,599
Speaker 5: in their mind. When the doctors examined them over time,

116
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:46,479
Speaker 5: they could see how their knees were much improved. Their

117
00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:50,560
Speaker 5: conclusion was, since the mind expected the need.

118
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:53,600
Speaker 3: To get better, it got better. It actually helped it

119
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:54,039
Speaker 3: to heal.

120
00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:57,720
Speaker 5: And I thought about how many people have spent year

121
00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:03,080
Speaker 5: after year programming their mind to expect defeat, expect failure,

122
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:07,960
Speaker 5: expect mediocrity. They've said a thousand times I'll never get well.

123
00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:11,360
Speaker 5: The mind goes to work doing just that. Make sure

124
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:14,600
Speaker 5: he never gets well. Make sure we bring more discomfort,

125
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:22,600
Speaker 5: more swelling, more pain. How many people go around feeling insecure, intimidated, unqualified.

126
00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:26,080
Speaker 5: The mind goes to work saying, I've got my instructions,

127
00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:28,880
Speaker 5: i know what to perform. I've got to make sure

128
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:32,800
Speaker 5: he's slow, he's clumsy, he never has good ideas, he

129
00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:37,760
Speaker 5: makes mistakes. What's the problem We've programmed ourselves for defeat.

130
00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:42,680
Speaker 5: Our mind is working perfectly fine. It's helping us become

131
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:46,200
Speaker 5: what we believe. But the good news is if this

132
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:49,360
Speaker 5: will work in the wrong direction, then it will work

133
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:52,760
Speaker 5: in the right direction. When we go around thinking I'm

134
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:57,520
Speaker 5: well able, I'm anointed, I'm equipped, I'm empowered, your mind

135
00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:00,680
Speaker 5: goes to work saying, let me make sure they're at

136
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:03,640
Speaker 5: the top of their game. I gotta make sure they're smart.

137
00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:06,760
Speaker 5: They're intelligent, they're creative, they're strong.

138
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:07,279
Speaker 3: They're confident.

139
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:11,560
Speaker 5: You may be facing a sickness, but instead of saying

140
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:15,280
Speaker 5: I'll never get well, you're saying I'm getting better and better.

141
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:18,880
Speaker 5: Health and healing is flowing through me. God is renewing

142
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:22,040
Speaker 5: my youth like the eagles. When you do that, your

143
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:25,800
Speaker 5: mind says to your system. Do you hear what she's saying.

144
00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:29,080
Speaker 5: She says she's whole, she's healthy, she's strong.

145
00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:30,680
Speaker 3: Let's get busy.

146
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:37,600
Speaker 5: Release the healing, create new selves. Unlea strength, vitality, energy.

147
00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:40,880
Speaker 5: Maybe you struggle with an addiction, but don't ever say

148
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:42,560
Speaker 5: I'll never overcome this.

149
00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:44,560
Speaker 3: I'm just hooked now.

150
00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:47,480
Speaker 5: If you believe you're an addict, you will always be

151
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:51,240
Speaker 5: an addict. When we go around dwelling on these negative,

152
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:55,160
Speaker 5: defeated thoughts, we are sending poison down through our system.

153
00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:59,360
Speaker 5: We are telling our command center, the mind, this incredible

154
00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:04,200
Speaker 5: tool God given us to release, defeat, failure, mediocrity. That's

155
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:07,160
Speaker 5: why the scripture says we have to guard our minds.

156
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:10,240
Speaker 5: If you're trying to lose weight. Don't ever say I'll

157
00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:14,880
Speaker 5: never lose this weight. I'm just too undisciplined. My metabolism

158
00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:17,600
Speaker 5: is so messed up. If I worked out twenty four

159
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:20,400
Speaker 5: hours a day, I probably wouldn't lose a pound. When

160
00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:23,680
Speaker 5: you say that, your mind says to your system, make

161
00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:27,320
Speaker 5: sure they don't lose a pound. Make sure they keep

162
00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:31,320
Speaker 5: every calorie, make sure they see and smell food anywhere

163
00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:31,720
Speaker 5: they go.

164
00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:34,080
Speaker 3: Deplete all their energy.

165
00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:36,679
Speaker 5: Now, when you get up in the morning, no matter

166
00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:40,240
Speaker 5: how you feel, you need to say I'm getting thinner.

167
00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:44,439
Speaker 5: This weight is coming off of me. I am strong, healthy, energetic,

168
00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:49,520
Speaker 5: I have discipline and self control. I look good, I

169
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:52,199
Speaker 5: feel good, I think good, I smell good.

170
00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:56,319
Speaker 3: Some of you, if you would do that, your mind

171
00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:58,280
Speaker 3: would go tilt, tilt, tilt.

172
00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:01,400
Speaker 5: It would think, what in the world are they saying?

173
00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:05,000
Speaker 5: We haven't heard that in twenty seven years. It would

174
00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:09,600
Speaker 5: send an alert all through your system, saying, hang on, guys,

175
00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:13,600
Speaker 5: we're changing directions. Don't send out any more defeat, no

176
00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:16,600
Speaker 5: more sickness, no more crazy hormones.

177
00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:17,720
Speaker 3: This is a new day.

178
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:23,240
Speaker 5: Send out health, send out healing, send out strength, vitality, victory.

179
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:26,320
Speaker 3: You've got to get your.

180
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:30,560
Speaker 5: Command center sending out the right instructions. I don't know

181
00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:33,720
Speaker 5: about you, but I am not sending defeat through my system.

182
00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:35,320
Speaker 3: I'm not going to go.

183
00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:39,200
Speaker 5: Around thinking how I've reached my limits and my obstacles

184
00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:42,600
Speaker 5: are too big and I'll probably never get out of debt. No,

185
00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:46,880
Speaker 5: I realize I'm going to become what I believe. So

186
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:49,240
Speaker 5: I'm gonna believe, not just what I feel.

187
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:50,600
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna.

188
00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:53,640
Speaker 5: Believe what other people say about me. I'm not gonna

189
00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:56,880
Speaker 5: believe what my circumstances are telling me. I'm gonna believe

190
00:09:56,920 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 5: what God says about me. And God says I'm blessed,

191
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:04,280
Speaker 5: I'm strong, I'm healthy, i am well able. I'm going

192
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:07,959
Speaker 5: to program that into my computer. I'm going to think

193
00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:11,640
Speaker 5: thoughts of victory. Well, you said, Joel, it doesn't look

194
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:14,560
Speaker 5: like I'm blessed, doesn't look like I'm healthy.

195
00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:15,720
Speaker 3: Here's the key.

196
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:19,040
Speaker 5: You've got to believe it before you'll ever see it.

197
00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:22,640
Speaker 5: This is what faith is all about. Once you can

198
00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:25,880
Speaker 5: see it, you don't really need faith. It's when you

199
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:29,319
Speaker 5: can't see it and the medical report doesn't look good

200
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:33,240
Speaker 5: and the obstacle looks like you'll never accomplish your dreams,

201
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:35,840
Speaker 5: and the bank account says that you'll never get out

202
00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:38,520
Speaker 5: of debt. That's when you have to dig your heels

203
00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:41,000
Speaker 5: in and say I may not be able to see it,

204
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:44,160
Speaker 5: but I walk by faith and not by sight.

205
00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:46,680
Speaker 3: And if God said it, that's good enough for me.

206
00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:52,480
Speaker 5: This is what Abraham had to do. Twenty years before

207
00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:57,440
Speaker 5: he ever had a child. God said in Romans four seventeen, Abraham,

208
00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:02,320
Speaker 5: I have made you a father of many nations. Notice

209
00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:05,800
Speaker 5: God said it in the past tense. I have made

210
00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:10,480
Speaker 5: you like it had already happened. Abraham could have said, God,

211
00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:12,959
Speaker 5: what are you talking about. I'm not a father. I

212
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:16,160
Speaker 5: don't have a single child. He could have easily talked

213
00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:20,120
Speaker 5: himself out of it, but instead he chose to believe

214
00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:24,080
Speaker 5: what God said about him, even though it looked impossible.

215
00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:28,080
Speaker 5: His attitude was, God, if you say I'm a father,

216
00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:31,600
Speaker 5: I'm not gonna question it. I'm not gonna worry about it.

217
00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:34,000
Speaker 5: I'm not gonna try to figure it out. I'm just

218
00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:38,079
Speaker 5: gonna come into agreement with you. Twenty years later, at

219
00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:40,280
Speaker 5: the age of one hundred, he had that child.

220
00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:42,439
Speaker 3: Here's what I want you to see.

221
00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:46,080
Speaker 5: Just because God said it didn't mean it was going

222
00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:49,839
Speaker 5: to automatically come to pass. Abraham had to do his

223
00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:53,200
Speaker 5: part and get in agreement with God. Now, all through

224
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:57,400
Speaker 5: the scripture, God has said so many great things about us,

225
00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:02,200
Speaker 5: many of them in the past. Ten In Ephesians, God says,

226
00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:07,280
Speaker 5: I have blessed you with every spiritual blessing. Colossians, I

227
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:11,800
Speaker 5: have made you worthy Psalms. I have surrounded you with

228
00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:16,800
Speaker 5: favor as a shield. All past tense like it's already happened.

229
00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:20,360
Speaker 5: Now we've got to do our part like Abraham and

230
00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:23,319
Speaker 5: come into agreement with God. It's got to get deep

231
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:26,960
Speaker 5: down on the inside. In other words, you may not

232
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:30,080
Speaker 5: feel blessed today. A lot of things are coming against you,

233
00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:33,240
Speaker 5: with your family, with your finances.

234
00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:33,480
Speaker 3: With your health.

235
00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:36,280
Speaker 5: Your mind could easily talk you out of it, say

236
00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:39,640
Speaker 5: all this isn't for me, No way I'm blessed. Now

237
00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:42,440
Speaker 5: you've got to be bold like Abraham and say God,

238
00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:46,000
Speaker 5: if you say I'm blessed, then I believe I'm blessed.

239
00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:49,640
Speaker 5: My checkbook may not say I'm blessed, the economy doesn't

240
00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:52,600
Speaker 5: say I'm blessed, the medical report doesn't say I'm blessed.

241
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:56,280
Speaker 5: But God, I know you have the ultimate say and

242
00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:58,520
Speaker 5: so since you say I'm blessed.

243
00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:00,640
Speaker 3: My report is I am.

244
00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:04,000
Speaker 5: When you get in agreement with God like that, it

245
00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:08,719
Speaker 5: allows him to release the promises that already have your

246
00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:11,800
Speaker 5: name on it, you can pull it out of the

247
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:16,840
Speaker 5: unseen spiritual realm over into the physical seene realm.

248
00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:18,080
Speaker 3: That's what it says.

249
00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:23,679
Speaker 5: God speaks of nonexistent things as if they already existed.

250
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:27,079
Speaker 5: But too many people go around thinking, well, I wish

251
00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:29,559
Speaker 5: I was blessed, I wish I had favor.

252
00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:31,840
Speaker 3: No, you've got to reprogram your thinking.

253
00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:36,360
Speaker 5: It says in Psalms that God has already crowned you

254
00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:40,040
Speaker 5: with favor. You may not realize it, but there is

255
00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:43,160
Speaker 5: a crown on your head right now. And it is

256
00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:46,840
Speaker 5: not a crown of defeat, of lack of mediocrity.

257
00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:49,200
Speaker 3: It is a crown of God's favor.

258
00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:52,679
Speaker 5: And if you are going to activate that favor, you've

259
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:55,720
Speaker 5: got to get in agreement with God and start declaring

260
00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:59,480
Speaker 5: I do have favor. You cannot drag through the day

261
00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:01,840
Speaker 5: think and why do I always get the short end

262
00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:02,360
Speaker 5: of the stick?

263
00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:05,079
Speaker 3: Why do always get these bad breaks?

264
00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:09,320
Speaker 5: Now, when those discouraging thoughts come, try to convince you

265
00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:12,839
Speaker 5: that nothing good is in store just as an act

266
00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:15,800
Speaker 5: of faith, you need to reach up and adjust your

267
00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:19,280
Speaker 5: crown of favor, make sure it's straight. Somebody's asked you,

268
00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:22,160
Speaker 5: what are you doing fixing your hair. No, I'm straightening

269
00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:27,000
Speaker 5: my crown of favor, So you say, Joel, I've been

270
00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:30,640
Speaker 5: praying and praying that God would give me favor. Listen,

271
00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:34,160
Speaker 5: you don't have to pray about something that you already have.

272
00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:38,360
Speaker 5: All you've got to do is start acting like it's true.

273
00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:42,160
Speaker 5: The truth is, I don't always feel anointed, but I

274
00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:46,160
Speaker 5: know God has already anointed me. I know He's already

275
00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:50,280
Speaker 5: equipped and empowered me before I come out for each service.

276
00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:53,480
Speaker 3: I never pray, Oh God, please give me your annoying today.

277
00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:54,560
Speaker 3: God please help me.

278
00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:57,600
Speaker 5: Now, I say Father, thank you that I am anointed,

279
00:14:57,840 --> 00:15:01,440
Speaker 5: thank You that I am well able. I've learned I

280
00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:03,960
Speaker 5: don't have to pray about it. I just simply have

281
00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:07,320
Speaker 5: to act as if it were already true. You may

282
00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:11,440
Speaker 5: not feel blessed today, feel confident, or look healthy, or

283
00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:14,840
Speaker 5: look favored. But don't you dare drag through life with

284
00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:18,120
Speaker 5: the poor old me mentality. Put your shoulders back, hold

285
00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:20,680
Speaker 5: your head up high. You are a child of the

286
00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:25,560
Speaker 5: most High God, God, has blessed you. You are highly favored.

287
00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:30,680
Speaker 5: You are strong, you are talented, you are redeemed, not

288
00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:34,160
Speaker 5: going to be not maybe one day in the sweep by,

289
00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:37,560
Speaker 5: and by no, God has already blessed you. He has

290
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:40,840
Speaker 5: already made you more than a conqueror. He's already given

291
00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:44,000
Speaker 5: you that crown of favor. Well, how do you tap

292
00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:46,240
Speaker 5: in to what God has already done?

293
00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:47,240
Speaker 3: Very simple?

294
00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:51,440
Speaker 5: Just start acting like you're blessed, Talking like you're blessed,

295
00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:55,600
Speaker 5: walking like you're blessed, Thinking like you're blessed, Smiling like

296
00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:57,880
Speaker 5: you're blessed, Dressing like you're blessed.

297
00:15:58,360 --> 00:15:59,440
Speaker 3: If you will put.

298
00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:02,360
Speaker 5: Actions by behind your faith, one day you will see

299
00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:07,080
Speaker 5: that become a reality. We had a large steel framed

300
00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:10,480
Speaker 5: building at our other location. It was the auditorium that

301
00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:14,120
Speaker 5: held four thousand people. When we built a new sanctuary

302
00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:17,360
Speaker 5: in nineteen eighty eight, my father called a friend of

303
00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:21,000
Speaker 5: ours named Tommy. He does youth ministry, and he gave

304
00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:24,600
Speaker 5: him that building. You could actually take all the steel

305
00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:26,840
Speaker 5: beams down and move it to another location.

306
00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:28,720
Speaker 3: It was extremely valuable.

307
00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:31,640
Speaker 5: But Tommy didn't come pick it up for some time,

308
00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:34,960
Speaker 5: and every time I saw the building, I thought to myself.

309
00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:36,280
Speaker 3: There's Tommy's building.

310
00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:40,480
Speaker 5: Just because he didn't take it right away didn't mean

311
00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:43,840
Speaker 5: it wasn't his. About two years later he came with

312
00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:46,760
Speaker 5: the big crew and the cranes and they dismantled it,

313
00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:47,840
Speaker 5: and they moved the.

314
00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:51,000
Speaker 3: Building to his location. But here's my point.

315
00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:55,080
Speaker 5: The building didn't become his when he came and got it.

316
00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:59,200
Speaker 5: It became his the moment my father spoke it. That

317
00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:01,640
Speaker 5: building could have st there for twenty years, it still

318
00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:04,440
Speaker 5: would have been his. My father gave it to him.

319
00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:06,520
Speaker 5: It was up to him to come and get it.

320
00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:10,680
Speaker 5: In the same way, God has all kinds of promises

321
00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:11,480
Speaker 5: stored up for you.

322
00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:14,800
Speaker 3: They already have your name on it. Now it's up

323
00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:16,159
Speaker 3: to you to come and get it.

324
00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:20,960
Speaker 5: The moment God said you were blessed, you became blessed.

325
00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:23,359
Speaker 5: Now you may not pick it up for a year,

326
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:26,760
Speaker 5: or five years, or a lifetime, but that does not

327
00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:31,080
Speaker 5: change what God said. The blessing still belongs to you.

328
00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:33,400
Speaker 5: You gotta rise up and say, you know what, I'm

329
00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:37,400
Speaker 5: gonna go get it. I'm not gonna live another day, defeated,

330
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:40,480
Speaker 5: no goals, expecting the worst.

331
00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:41,040
Speaker 2: I know.

332
00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:43,680
Speaker 3: God has a crown of favor with my name on.

333
00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:47,240
Speaker 5: It, and I'm gonna go pick it up today. I'm

334
00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:51,439
Speaker 5: gonna start acting like I'm blessed, like I'm redeemed, like

335
00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:53,399
Speaker 5: I'm the head and not the tale, like I'm more

336
00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:57,239
Speaker 5: than a conqueror. Friends, it already has your name on it.

337
00:17:57,800 --> 00:18:00,800
Speaker 5: The good news is there's no life to get it.

338
00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:05,359
Speaker 5: There's no will call, there's no late charges, no shortage.

339
00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:08,760
Speaker 5: It's not limited at the first hundred. It's all yours,

340
00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:16,639
Speaker 5: totally paid for. Blessings, favor, confidence, forgiveness, Rise up in faith.

341
00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:20,760
Speaker 5: It's your time, it's your season, start.

342
00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:21,239
Speaker 3: Acting on it.

343
00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:25,440
Speaker 5: I found that God always puts things in our spirit

344
00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:28,879
Speaker 5: before they'll come to pass in the natural. When I

345
00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:32,240
Speaker 5: first heard that this building, the former Compact Center, was

346
00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:35,680
Speaker 5: becoming available, something leaped on the inside.

347
00:18:36,119 --> 00:18:39,280
Speaker 3: It was birth in my spirit. I knew down in.

348
00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:43,560
Speaker 5: Here this facility was already ours. I couldn't explain it.

349
00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:46,240
Speaker 5: I didn't have any facts to back me up, but

350
00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:50,240
Speaker 5: in my spirit I had received it by faith. Four

351
00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:53,600
Speaker 5: years later we saw it come to a reality. Some

352
00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:56,399
Speaker 5: of you today, your mind is trying to talk you

353
00:18:56,520 --> 00:18:59,520
Speaker 5: out of what God wants to birth in your spirit.

354
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:03,919
Speaker 5: Maybe it's a dream, a promise, a new beginning. It

355
00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:07,760
Speaker 5: looks impossible, like Abraham in the natural, it looks like

356
00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:10,919
Speaker 5: there's no way. But I'm asking you to get in

357
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:15,679
Speaker 5: agreement with God. Let that seed take root in your spirit.

358
00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:19,520
Speaker 5: Maybe when you hear this truth that you're blessed, that

359
00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:23,200
Speaker 5: you've got this crown of favor, your mind says, no way.

360
00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:26,560
Speaker 5: You don't know my circumstances, your you don't know the

361
00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:27,960
Speaker 5: obstacles in my path.

362
00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:31,000
Speaker 3: No, don't talk yourself out of it. You may not

363
00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:33,560
Speaker 3: see away. But God has a way.

364
00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:36,600
Speaker 5: And if you will conceive it on the inside, then

365
00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:39,640
Speaker 5: one day you will receive it on the outside.

366
00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:41,600
Speaker 3: That's what the scripture says.

367
00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:46,159
Speaker 5: God wishes above all things that we prosper and be

368
00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:51,080
Speaker 5: in Hell. Here's the requirement, even as our soul prospers.

369
00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:54,159
Speaker 5: This is saying, if you will prosper in your soul

370
00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:57,920
Speaker 5: on the inside, then you can prosper on the outside.

371
00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:01,240
Speaker 5: In other words, you have to risk healing in your

372
00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:03,720
Speaker 5: spirit before you'll ever receive.

373
00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:04,560
Speaker 3: It in your physical body.

374
00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:07,920
Speaker 5: You've got to be blessed in your mind, in your

375
00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:12,640
Speaker 5: thoughts on the inside before you'll be blessed on the outside.

376
00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:13,280
Speaker 3: You've got to be.

377
00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:17,040
Speaker 5: Free in your mind before you'll ever be free from

378
00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:20,800
Speaker 5: that physical addiction. That's why you should never say I'm

379
00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:23,840
Speaker 5: going to be free one day, Joel, I'm going to

380
00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:27,200
Speaker 5: break this addiction. One day, I'm gonna stop this bad habit. No,

381
00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:31,360
Speaker 5: your report should be I am free, I am victorious,

382
00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:33,919
Speaker 5: I am blessed, I am healthy, I am.

383
00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:36,879
Speaker 3: Prosperous, not going to be hope.

384
00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:41,000
Speaker 5: So maybe so one day, if everything works out, then

385
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:44,360
Speaker 5: I'll be blessed, Joel, if the economy comes back strong,

386
00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:48,639
Speaker 5: if my customers return. No, you're talking about something that

387
00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:53,000
Speaker 5: you already have. That would be like me saying one day,

388
00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:56,120
Speaker 5: I hope I'll have a nice suit. One day, I'm

389
00:20:56,119 --> 00:20:58,840
Speaker 5: sure somebody's gonna bless me with a nice suit. One day,

390
00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:01,720
Speaker 5: I believe I'm gonna be wearing a nice suit. You'd

391
00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:03,880
Speaker 5: look at me and say, boy, are you crazy. You've

392
00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:06,320
Speaker 5: got on a nice suit. You're wearing one right now.

393
00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:09,879
Speaker 5: It's the same principle you shouldn't go around saying one

394
00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:12,480
Speaker 5: day I'm gonna be blessed. One day, I know I'm

395
00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:15,520
Speaker 5: gonna have God's favor. No, God's looking at you saying,

396
00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:19,040
Speaker 5: what are you talking about. I've already blessed you. I've

397
00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:23,040
Speaker 5: already crowned you with my favor. Now you got to

398
00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:26,280
Speaker 5: rise up in faith and start walking in that blessing.

399
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:30,639
Speaker 5: God has already put something on you. And no, he

400
00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:34,720
Speaker 5: didn't put condemnation, he didn't put low self esteem, he

401
00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:36,360
Speaker 5: didn't put fear and anxiety.

402
00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:38,640
Speaker 3: He put a crown of favor.

403
00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:42,760
Speaker 5: He put a robe of righteousness, He put the shield

404
00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:47,720
Speaker 5: of faith. The scripture says his favor lasts for a lifetime.

405
00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:50,359
Speaker 3: I love that. How long are you going to have favor?

406
00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:53,679
Speaker 5: As long as you have breath to breathe that crown

407
00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:56,800
Speaker 5: of favor belongs to you. You need to get up

408
00:21:56,840 --> 00:22:00,760
Speaker 5: every morning, look at yourself in the mist and say,

409
00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:05,399
Speaker 5: good morning, you bless man, Good morning you highly favored woman.

410
00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:07,840
Speaker 3: Let me straighten my crown.

411
00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:10,960
Speaker 5: Of favor, goodness and mercy. Are you ready to follow

412
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:13,280
Speaker 5: me blessings? Are you ready to chase me down?

413
00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:15,040
Speaker 3: Let's go. Let's go out and have a great day

414
00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:15,360
Speaker 3: to day.

415
00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:22,680
Speaker 5: When you understand what God has already done, it puts

416
00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:25,920
Speaker 5: a spring in your step. You don't drag through life

417
00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:28,320
Speaker 5: expecting to get the short end of the stick. No,

418
00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:31,880
Speaker 5: you programmed your mind for victory. You're expecting to get

419
00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:35,399
Speaker 5: good breaks. You're expecting God to bring your dreams to pass.

420
00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:38,400
Speaker 5: You're expecting to overcome your obstacles.

421
00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:40,560
Speaker 3: Why, the creator of the.

422
00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:43,600
Speaker 5: Universe has put favor on you, and you've learned to

423
00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:47,199
Speaker 5: walk in it. I remember the first sanctuary that my

424
00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:50,240
Speaker 5: father built was a small building that held about a

425
00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:52,080
Speaker 5: thousand people at that time.

426
00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:53,720
Speaker 3: Only about half that many came.

427
00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:56,760
Speaker 5: And on the outside, my father had them build this

428
00:22:56,880 --> 00:23:00,959
Speaker 5: beautiful sign. Was very impressive way up in the air.

429
00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:03,119
Speaker 5: It lit up at night, had a big globe on

430
00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:06,320
Speaker 5: the top that spun around, and instead of just calling

431
00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:10,560
Speaker 5: it Lakewood Church, my father renamed it Lakewood.

432
00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:12,639
Speaker 3: International Outreach Center.

433
00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:17,200
Speaker 5: The fact is we were not an international outreach center.

434
00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:20,640
Speaker 3: There were just a few hundred people there. We were

435
00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:22,720
Speaker 3: barely even touching our neighborhood.

436
00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:27,040
Speaker 5: But God had burst something bigger in my father's spirit.

437
00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:29,639
Speaker 3: And he dared to put the vision out there.

438
00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:34,240
Speaker 5: He taught like we were going to impact the whole world.

439
00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:35,520
Speaker 3: He told the.

440
00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:40,119
Speaker 5: People, kings and presidents will visit our church. He said,

441
00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:42,920
Speaker 5: one day we'll be known as a place of hope

442
00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:46,720
Speaker 5: and healing to all nations. People looked at him like

443
00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:50,320
Speaker 5: he had lost his mind. It seemed so unlikely, just

444
00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:53,560
Speaker 5: a few hundred people on a small piece of property.

445
00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:56,359
Speaker 3: How could my father have this boldness? How could he

446
00:23:56,440 --> 00:23:57,399
Speaker 3: have this confidence?

447
00:23:57,640 --> 00:24:01,199
Speaker 5: Here's how he allowed the seed that God birthed on

448
00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:02,880
Speaker 5: the inside to take root.

449
00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:05,280
Speaker 3: And he talked about.

450
00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:09,240
Speaker 5: An international ministry long before he saw any.

451
00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:09,719
Speaker 3: Signs of it.

452
00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:13,160
Speaker 5: He had them put up a world map behind the podium.

453
00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:16,760
Speaker 5: During the services, he would have people pray over the

454
00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:20,040
Speaker 5: different nations. He looked out across the street at the

455
00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:24,200
Speaker 5: empty field fifty acres, just cows grazing, and he would say,

456
00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:27,680
Speaker 5: I can see our big sanctuary out there. I can

457
00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:31,359
Speaker 5: see us building our world headquarters. I can see people

458
00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:36,159
Speaker 5: from every nation coming to our international conferences. He talked

459
00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:38,760
Speaker 5: like it, he thought like it, he dreamed like it.

460
00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:42,600
Speaker 5: One day, what was birthed in his spirit, he saw

461
00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:45,960
Speaker 5: it come to a reality. We've had kings and presidents,

462
00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:47,960
Speaker 5: people from every nation stopped by here.

463
00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:49,520
Speaker 3: But here's my point.

464
00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:54,800
Speaker 5: I know today God has put big dreams on the

465
00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:56,800
Speaker 5: inside of each one of you.

466
00:24:56,800 --> 00:24:58,159
Speaker 3: You know, one day.

467
00:24:58,200 --> 00:25:01,359
Speaker 5: You're going to start a business, you're gonna be in management,

468
00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:04,000
Speaker 5: you're gonna write a book, you're gonna come out of debt,

469
00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:07,880
Speaker 5: You're gonna raise successful children. But maybe right now all

470
00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:10,840
Speaker 5: the odds are against you. It doesn't look like there's

471
00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:13,800
Speaker 5: any reason to believe. Seems like it'd be a waste

472
00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:17,720
Speaker 5: of your time. That's the way Abraham felt. The Scripture

473
00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:20,359
Speaker 5: says all human reason.

474
00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:22,879
Speaker 3: For hope being gone. What he do he hoped on

475
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:23,440
Speaker 3: in faith.

476
00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:26,600
Speaker 5: You may not have any reason in the natural to

477
00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:29,080
Speaker 5: have hope, but you've got to dig your heels in

478
00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:32,520
Speaker 5: and say, I'm not moved by what I see. I'm

479
00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:35,199
Speaker 5: moved by what I know, and I know God has

480
00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:37,960
Speaker 5: put this promise in my heart. It has my name

481
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:38,320
Speaker 5: on it.

482
00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:39,639
Speaker 3: It already belongs to me.

483
00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:42,760
Speaker 5: So I'm gonna do my part and start talking like

484
00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:46,280
Speaker 5: it's true, start acting like it's on its way, start.

485
00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:51,160
Speaker 3: Believing that it is going to happen. The moment God spoke.

486
00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:52,720
Speaker 5: To my father that he was going to have an

487
00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:55,080
Speaker 5: international ministry, it became his.

488
00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:58,679
Speaker 3: The creator of the universe wrote his name on it.

489
00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:02,280
Speaker 5: But my father could have gone a whole lifetime and

490
00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:05,320
Speaker 5: never seen any of that come to pass. He had

491
00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:09,399
Speaker 5: to go get what belonged to him. Some of you today,

492
00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:12,520
Speaker 5: there's a business with your name on it. God's waiting

493
00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:14,840
Speaker 5: for you. To come pick it up. There's healing with

494
00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:17,879
Speaker 5: your name on it. There's restoration with your name on it.

495
00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:21,640
Speaker 5: The moment God spoke it to you, it became yours.

496
00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:25,400
Speaker 5: He wrote your name on it. Here's healing for Debbie.

497
00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:30,520
Speaker 5: Here's restoration for Daniel. Here's promotion for Rosy. Here's freedom

498
00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:34,159
Speaker 5: from an addiction for Samuel. Here's a great marriage for Linda.

499
00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:36,720
Speaker 5: It's got your name on it. Now you've got to

500
00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:41,280
Speaker 5: come get it. Understand, God always puts bigger things in

501
00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:45,320
Speaker 5: our spirit than our mind can handle. Don't talk yourself

502
00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:49,760
Speaker 5: out of it. Enlarge your vision. Dare to call yourself

503
00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:51,480
Speaker 5: what you know you are.

504
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:54,800
Speaker 3: Even before you can see it. That's what my father did.

505
00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:59,439
Speaker 5: He called himself international when he was barely even local.

506
00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:02,479
Speaker 5: He wasn't even hardly touching the neighborhood, much less other

507
00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:05,919
Speaker 5: nations that didn't bother him. He knew what was on

508
00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:10,440
Speaker 5: the inside. He knew that international ministry had his name

509
00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:12,960
Speaker 5: on it, so he talked like it was going to happen.

510
00:27:13,560 --> 00:27:14,399
Speaker 3: What am I saying?

511
00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:18,280
Speaker 5: You've got to call yourself well, even when you feel sick.

512
00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:22,800
Speaker 5: You've got to call yourself successful, even when business is slow.

513
00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:26,320
Speaker 5: You've got to call yourself debt free even though the

514
00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:29,600
Speaker 5: bills have piled up. You got to call yourself married

515
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:32,200
Speaker 5: even though you hadn't had a date in five years.

516
00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:37,240
Speaker 5: You got to talk about that nice house even when

517
00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:38,800
Speaker 5: you're living in a Rundown apartment.

518
00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:40,200
Speaker 3: You got to talk.

519
00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:42,479
Speaker 5: About being a blessing to the world when you can

520
00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:48,120
Speaker 5: barely take care of yourself. Well, you say, well, you say, Joel,

521
00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:49,679
Speaker 5: that's just wishful thinking.

522
00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:51,000
Speaker 3: No, you're doing like God.

523
00:27:51,280 --> 00:27:56,320
Speaker 5: You're speaking of nonexistent things as if they already existed. Friends,

524
00:27:56,359 --> 00:27:59,639
Speaker 5: God wants to do something big in your life, but

525
00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:03,720
Speaker 5: it is not going to happen with narrow, limited, small mindsets.

526
00:28:04,040 --> 00:28:07,200
Speaker 5: You cannot go around thinking that you've reached your limits.

527
00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:10,520
Speaker 5: I'll never get well, I'll never overcome this obstacle. No,

528
00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:14,360
Speaker 5: you're going to become what you believe. Get in agreement

529
00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:17,440
Speaker 5: with God. He says you are well able, you are

530
00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:20,199
Speaker 5: fully equipped. It may not have happened in your past,

531
00:28:20,359 --> 00:28:22,919
Speaker 5: but it can happen in your future. Now I'm asking

532
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:26,960
Speaker 5: you to go get what belongs to you. You are blessed,

533
00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:30,639
Speaker 5: you are prosperous, You have a crown of favor. Start

534
00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:32,560
Speaker 5: acting like it, talking like it.

535
00:28:32,680 --> 00:28:33,520
Speaker 3: Dreaming like it.

536
00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:37,479
Speaker 5: If you will program your mind for victory and believe

537
00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:40,400
Speaker 5: you are who God says you are, no obstacle can

538
00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:44,000
Speaker 5: hold you back, no enemy can defeat you, No sickness

539
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:47,240
Speaker 5: can keep you down. All the forces of darkness cannot

540
00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:49,120
Speaker 5: keep you from your God given destiny.

541
00:28:49,320 --> 00:28:50,480
Speaker 3: You'll be like Abraham.

542
00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:54,520
Speaker 5: You'll see impossible situations turn around. You're going to rise

543
00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:57,800
Speaker 5: higher and higher. Supernatural doors are going to open for you.

544
00:28:58,160 --> 00:29:02,960
Speaker 5: Divine connections are coming your way unprecedented favor. Because you've

545
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:06,480
Speaker 5: programmed your mind for victory. I believe and declare You're

546
00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:09,760
Speaker 5: gonna see every dream, every promise God's put in your heart.

00:29:09,960 --> 00:29:11,920

Speaker 5: Would you pray with me, just say, Lord, Jesus, I

551
00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:26,720
Speaker 5: repent of my sins. Come into my heart. I make
