1
00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:03,600

00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:29,760
Speaker 1: tuning in today, and thank you again for coming out.

12
00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:32,240
Speaker 1: And I like to start with something funny each week.

13
00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:34,560
Speaker 1: And I heard about this little three year old boy.

14
00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:37,120
Speaker 1: He had a sore throat and his mom took him

15
00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:39,920
Speaker 1: to the doctor, and the doctor put his stethoscope on

16
00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:42,440
Speaker 1: his chest to listen to his lungs and said to

17
00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:44,760
Speaker 1: the little boy, Okay, just be still, buddy. I'm just

18
00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:45,519
Speaker 1: gonna check to.

19
00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:47,160
Speaker 2: See if Barney's in here.

20
00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:50,599
Speaker 1: The little boy said, Jesus is in my heart, but

21
00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:55,600
Speaker 1: Barney's on my underwear. Hold up your Bible and say

22
00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:56,480
Speaker 1: it like you mean it.

23
00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:58,240
Speaker 2: This is my Bible.

24
00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:01,040
Speaker 1: I am what it says, I am, I have what

25
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:03,640
Speaker 1: it says I have I can do what it says

26
00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:04,200
Speaker 1: I can do.

27
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:05,080
Speaker 2: Today.

28
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:08,600
Speaker 1: I will be taught the word of God. I boldly confess.

29
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:12,559
Speaker 1: My mind is alert, my heart is receptive. I will

30
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:16,320
Speaker 1: never be the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you.

31
00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:20,240
Speaker 1: I want to talk to you today about having mountain

32
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:22,479
Speaker 1: moving faith in life.

33
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:25,440
Speaker 2: We all face mountains. May be a mountain in.

34
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:28,840
Speaker 1: Your marriage, you don't see how you'll stay together. A

35
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:32,040
Speaker 1: mountain in your finances, doesn't look like you'll ever get

36
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:35,399
Speaker 1: out of death or ever accomplish your dreams. Maybe it's

37
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:38,520
Speaker 1: a mountain in your health. The experts have said that

38
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:41,520
Speaker 1: you're never going to get well. A lot of times

39
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:46,040
Speaker 1: we're praying about our mountains. God please help me. God,

40
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:49,520
Speaker 1: please make my child straight enough. God please take away

41
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:50,080
Speaker 1: this fear.

42
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:53,760
Speaker 2: And yes, it's good to pray, good to ask God

43
00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:54,520
Speaker 2: to help us.

44
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:58,320
Speaker 1: But when you face a mountain, it's not enough to

45
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:02,040
Speaker 1: just pray, not enough to just believe. It's not enough

46
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:03,520
Speaker 1: to just think good thoughts.

47
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:04,520
Speaker 2: Here's the key.

48
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:08,480
Speaker 1: You have to speak to your mountains. Jesus said in

49
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:13,760
Speaker 1: Mark eleven. Whoever will say to this mountain be removed,

50
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:17,119
Speaker 1: and does not doubt in his heart, he will have

51
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:21,519
Speaker 1: whatever he says, some of you today are praying about

52
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:23,400
Speaker 1: things you should be speaking to.

53
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:24,520
Speaker 2: You.

54
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:27,880
Speaker 1: Don't need to pray about that fear anymore. You need

55
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:31,280
Speaker 1: to say, fear, I command you to leave. I will

56
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:34,720
Speaker 1: not allow you in my life. Instead of begging God

57
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:39,240
Speaker 1: to heal you, you need to start talking to that sickness. Sickness,

58
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:41,720
Speaker 1: you have no right in my body. I'm a child

59
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:44,760
Speaker 1: of the Most High God. You are not welcome here,

60
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:48,320
Speaker 1: and I'm not asking you to leave. I'm not saying, pretty,

61
00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:51,480
Speaker 1: please do me a favor. No, I'm commanding you to

62
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:55,400
Speaker 1: leave my body. If you're going to have mountain moving faith,

63
00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:57,200
Speaker 1: you've got to speak to your mountains.

64
00:02:58,040 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 2: I've learned.

65
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 1: If you don't talk to your mountains, your mountains will

66
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:04,040
Speaker 1: talk to you all through the day.

67
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:05,120
Speaker 2: Those negative thoughts.

68
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:07,799
Speaker 1: You're never gonna get well, you're never gonna get out

69
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:10,640
Speaker 1: of debt, your business is going to go under.

70
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:12,880
Speaker 2: That's your mountains talking to you.

71
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:17,360
Speaker 1: Either you can sit back and believe those lies, or

72
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:19,720
Speaker 1: you can rise up and say, hey, wait a minute,

73
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:22,960
Speaker 1: I'm in control here. I'm not gonna let my mountain

74
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:26,760
Speaker 1: talk to me. Mountain, I'm saying to you, be removed.

75
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:31,079
Speaker 1: You will not defeat me. It's not a coincidence that

76
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:36,120
Speaker 1: God chose a mountain to represent our problems. Mountains are big.

77
00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:40,240
Speaker 1: Mountains seem permanent, like they're going to be there forever.

78
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:43,480
Speaker 1: You may be facing a situation now that looks like

79
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:47,000
Speaker 1: it'll never change. Looks like you'll never break the addiction

80
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 1: you've had it since high school. Looks like you'll never

81
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 1: lose the weight you've struggled for years. Looks like you'll

82
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:57,840
Speaker 1: never accomplish your dreams. There are too many obstacles. God

83
00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 1: is saying today. If you will start aren't speaking to

84
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:04,840
Speaker 1: the mountains, you will discover that they are not permanent.

85
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:07,320
Speaker 2: That situation you've dealt with.

86
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:11,600
Speaker 1: A long time, the sickness, the depression, the addiction, looks

87
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:12,920
Speaker 1: like it's not going to change.

88
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 2: You prayed, you believe, you've quoted scripture. That's all good.

89
00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:20,120
Speaker 1: But if you're going to see the mountain move, you

90
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:23,760
Speaker 1: need to start talking to it. When you speak words

91
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:29,080
Speaker 1: of faith, something happens in the unseen realm. Change are broken,

92
00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:31,720
Speaker 1: the forces of darkness are defeated.

93
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:33,800
Speaker 2: The enemy begins to tremble.

94
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:38,279
Speaker 1: When you say sickness, you've got to go debt. You

95
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:42,160
Speaker 1: cannot stay in my life rebellion. You will not control

96
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:44,040
Speaker 1: my child depression.

97
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:46,000
Speaker 2: You will not steal my destiny.

98
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:49,919
Speaker 1: When you speak not in your authority, but in the

99
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:53,400
Speaker 1: authority of the Sun of the Living God, then all

100
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:57,560
Speaker 1: the forces of heaven come to attention, the mighty armies

101
00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:01,760
Speaker 1: of the unseen most time God, God will stand behind you.

102
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:05,159
Speaker 1: Let me tell you no power can stand against our God.

103
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:10,000
Speaker 1: No sickness, no addiction, no fear, no legal trouble. When

104
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:13,440
Speaker 1: you speak, and you do not doubt, the mountain will

105
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:14,120
Speaker 1: be removed.

106
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:15,080
Speaker 2: Now.

107
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:18,360
Speaker 1: It may not happen overnight. You may speak to the mountain.

108
00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:21,320
Speaker 1: It looks just the same month after month. Don't worry

109
00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 1: about it. In the unseen realm, things are changing in

110
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:28,159
Speaker 1: your favor. You remember when Jesus was walking through a

111
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:31,080
Speaker 1: town and he saw a fig tree. He went over

112
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:33,800
Speaker 1: to get something to eat, but the tree didn't have

113
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:37,320
Speaker 1: any fruit on it. He looked at the tree and said,

114
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:42,279
Speaker 1: you will not produce fruit anymore. Notice Jesus talked to

115
00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:46,680
Speaker 1: a tree. People of faith talked to their obstacles.

116
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:48,200
Speaker 2: Jesus walked away.

117
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:51,000
Speaker 1: And it didn't look like anything had happened. The tree

118
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:53,599
Speaker 1: was just as healthy and green as it was before.

119
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:57,560
Speaker 1: I'm sure some of his disciples whispered it didn't work.

120
00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:00,719
Speaker 1: Jesus must have lost his touch because he said for

121
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:03,640
Speaker 1: it to die, but he didn't die. What they didn't

122
00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:07,960
Speaker 1: realize was underneath the ground, in the root system. The

123
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:11,640
Speaker 1: moment Jesus spoke, all the life was cut off to

124
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 1: that tree. When they came back through the town a

125
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:18,760
Speaker 1: little later, the disciples stood there in amazement as they

126
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:23,200
Speaker 1: saw that tree withered up, totally dead. In the same way,

127
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:27,880
Speaker 1: the moment you speak to your mountains, something happens in

128
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:31,200
Speaker 1: the unseen realm. The forces of Heaven go to work.

129
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:36,400
Speaker 1: God begins to dispatch angels. He begins to fight your battles.

130
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:39,960
Speaker 1: He begins to release favor. He begins to move the

131
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:44,159
Speaker 1: wrong people out of the way, sending healing, sending breakthrough,

132
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:48,160
Speaker 1: sending victory. Now you may not see what God's been

133
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:51,760
Speaker 1: doing behind the scenes for some time. That mountain may

134
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:53,880
Speaker 1: look just as big and permanent and.

135
00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:55,440
Speaker 2: Strong as it was before.

136
00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:58,920
Speaker 1: But if you will stay in faith and just keep

137
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:03,520
Speaker 1: speaking to the man mountain, calling it gone, calling yourself healthy,

138
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:08,320
Speaker 1: calling yourself blessed, calling yourself victorious, one day, all of

139
00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:11,960
Speaker 1: a sudden, you will see that mountain be removed. God

140
00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:15,000
Speaker 1: will supernaturally do for you what you could not do

141
00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:15,760
Speaker 1: for yourself.

142
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:18,160
Speaker 2: This is what happened to my mother.

143
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:21,720
Speaker 1: She was diagnosed with terminal cancer in nineteen eighty one,

144
00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:25,200
Speaker 1: and she spent twenty one days in the hospital. She

145
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:28,280
Speaker 1: came home and she and my father went to their

146
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:31,680
Speaker 1: bedroom and got on their knees, and they not only

147
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:35,560
Speaker 1: prayed and asked God to heal her, but they spoke

148
00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:39,560
Speaker 1: to the cancer and commanded it to leave. See, there's

149
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:42,240
Speaker 1: a time to pray, but there's a time to speak.

150
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:46,160
Speaker 1: You don't pray about your mountains. You speak to your mountains.

151
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:49,840
Speaker 1: You command them to go. Jesus didn't pray about the

152
00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:53,000
Speaker 1: fig tree. He didn't say, well, i'm believing it's not

153
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:55,680
Speaker 1: going to produce any fruit. I'm hoping it's not going

154
00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:59,280
Speaker 1: to produce fruit. No, he commanded it to not produce fruit.

155
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:03,200
Speaker 1: You got to command sickness to leave your body. You

156
00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:05,920
Speaker 1: got to command depression to get out of your life.

157
00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:10,480
Speaker 1: You've got to command strife and division to get out

158
00:08:10,520 --> 00:08:14,080
Speaker 1: of your family. If you will say to the mountain

159
00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:17,200
Speaker 1: be removed, you will have what you say.

160
00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:18,760
Speaker 2: Here's the key.

161
00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:24,480
Speaker 1: Your mountain responds to your voice. I can speak faith

162
00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:27,280
Speaker 1: over you all day long. Your friends can build you

163
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:30,320
Speaker 1: up with the scriptures. You can put on good music

164
00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:33,640
Speaker 1: that will encourage and inspire, and all that's important.

165
00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:34,360
Speaker 2: That's all good.

166
00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:38,760
Speaker 1: But your mountain is not necessarily interested in what I'm

167
00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:41,960
Speaker 1: saying about you. It's not interested in what your friends

168
00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:45,160
Speaker 1: are saying about you. In one sense, it's not even

169
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:49,120
Speaker 1: interested in what your parents are praying about you. Your

170
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:53,040
Speaker 1: mountain is paying attention to what you're saying. It will

171
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:56,960
Speaker 1: respond to your voice. When you rise up in faith

172
00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:03,000
Speaker 1: and with your own mouth you say sickness, addiction, depression.

173
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:05,680
Speaker 1: I'm talking to you in the name of Jesus.

174
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:08,600
Speaker 2: You've got to go. That's when the forces of heaven

175
00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:09,559
Speaker 2: come to attention.

176
00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:13,760
Speaker 1: I was talking to a man that had been trying

177
00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:16,880
Speaker 1: to sell some property for two years. He moved here

178
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:20,080
Speaker 1: from another state, and he's never sold his other house,

179
00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:23,160
Speaker 1: and now he's having to make payments on both. He

180
00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:26,400
Speaker 1: was discouraged. He said, Joel, I don't understand it. I've

181
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:30,760
Speaker 1: prayed about this situation. I've fasted, I've had other people

182
00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:33,440
Speaker 1: stand in faith with me. I don't know what I'm

183
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:36,840
Speaker 1: doing wrong. I told him what I'm telling you, that's

184
00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:39,640
Speaker 1: a mountain. It's not enough to pray about a mountain.

185
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:42,880
Speaker 1: You've got to speak to a mountain. You've got to say, house,

186
00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:46,800
Speaker 1: I'm commanding you to sell. I declare God's favor over you.

187
00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:48,640
Speaker 2: You say, Joel, this is.

188
00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:51,319
Speaker 1: Kind of far out today. You mean we're supposed to

189
00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:54,680
Speaker 1: talk to a house. Jesus talked to a tree. He

190
00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:57,360
Speaker 1: talked to the whims, he talked to sicknesses, he talked

191
00:09:57,360 --> 00:10:02,960
Speaker 1: to rains. If you're going to see your mountains moved,

192
00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:05,760
Speaker 1: you've got to talk to your obstacles.

193
00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:08,559
Speaker 2: A lot of times we're doing just the opposite.

194
00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:12,959
Speaker 1: We're talking about the mountain instead of talking to the mountain.

195
00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:16,240
Speaker 1: The more you talk about the mountain, the bigger you

196
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:20,720
Speaker 1: make it. When you talk about something, you magnify it. Well,

197
00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:22,920
Speaker 1: I don't think I'm ever going to get out of debt, Joel.

198
00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:26,120
Speaker 1: The economy's so down, business is so slow. I don't

199
00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:28,520
Speaker 1: see how I'm going to make it. No, you're making

200
00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:32,000
Speaker 1: it worse, You're making it bigger. What's the problem. You're

201
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:35,640
Speaker 1: talking about the mountain. You're supposed to be talking to

202
00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:39,679
Speaker 1: the mountain when those thoughts come telling you how bad

203
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:41,840
Speaker 1: it is and how you're never going to make it.

204
00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:45,040
Speaker 1: Just turn it around. Say listen here, Mountain of debt,

205
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:49,240
Speaker 1: Mountain of struggle, mountain of lack. You will not keep

206
00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:52,480
Speaker 1: me from my destiny. God has promised. I am the

207
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:55,640
Speaker 1: head and not the tail. I will lend and not borrow.

208
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:58,640
Speaker 2: He said he would prossper me even in the desert.

209
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:02,880
Speaker 1: I'm not asking you to leave. I'm not begging God

210
00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:06,600
Speaker 1: please make it leave. No, with my own mouth, I'm saying,

211
00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:09,160
Speaker 1: mountain of debt, mountain of black you've got to go.

212
00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:13,720
Speaker 1: That's mountain moving faith. I think about David when he

213
00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:18,319
Speaker 1: faced Goliath. Everyone around him was talking about the mountain.

214
00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:22,800
Speaker 1: They were saying, Goliath is so big, there's no way.

215
00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:25,640
Speaker 2: We can defeat him. And along came a young man

216
00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:26,400
Speaker 2: named David.

217
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:31,199
Speaker 1: He was only seventeen years old, but somehow he understood

218
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:35,240
Speaker 1: this principle of talking to the mountain and not talking

219
00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:39,319
Speaker 1: about the mountain. When he saw Goliath, instead of saying,

220
00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:42,280
Speaker 1: like the others, he's so big, we don't have a chance,

221
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:47,559
Speaker 1: he said, who is this uncircumcised philistine that he should

222
00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:50,960
Speaker 1: defy the armies of the Living God. He was saying, hey,

223
00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:54,520
Speaker 1: wait a minute, this is not right. One man is

224
00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:57,679
Speaker 1: going to keep all of God's people back. One mountain

225
00:11:57,800 --> 00:11:59,400
Speaker 1: is going to keep us from our destiny.

226
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:02,679
Speaker 2: I don't think so. I'm going to take care of him.

227
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:06,080
Speaker 1: David's friends and the people around they begin to laugh.

228
00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:09,880
Speaker 2: They said, David, are you crazy? You can't fight Goliath.

229
00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:12,920
Speaker 2: You're just a kid. You're too small, you don't have

230
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:13,920
Speaker 2: any experience.

231
00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:17,480
Speaker 1: He would crush you. David shook it off. He went

232
00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:21,319
Speaker 1: out to face Goliath. When Goliath saw him, he began

233
00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:24,960
Speaker 1: to laugh when he saw how young and small David was.

234
00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:28,240
Speaker 1: He said, am I a dog that you had come

235
00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:31,000
Speaker 1: at me with a stick? He was saying, don't you

236
00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:33,760
Speaker 1: have anything better to send out against me than this

237
00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:37,120
Speaker 1: little runt. It's not even going to be a fight now.

238
00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:40,240
Speaker 1: David wasn't focused on the size of his giant. He

239
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:42,040
Speaker 1: was focused on the size of his God.

240
00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:46,719
Speaker 2: He understood this principle. He didn't just pray that he

241
00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:49,760
Speaker 2: would defeat Goliath. He didn't just believe.

242
00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:52,800
Speaker 1: And hope that he would defeat him. David spoke to

243
00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:56,480
Speaker 1: his mountain. He looked him in the eyes and said, Goliath,

244
00:12:56,840 --> 00:12:59,680
Speaker 1: you come against me with a sword and a shield,

245
00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:03,000
Speaker 1: but I come against you in the name of the Lord,

246
00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:06,959
Speaker 1: God of Israel. In other words, You've got a sword,

247
00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:10,080
Speaker 1: but I've got something better. I've got a name. I've

248
00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:13,760
Speaker 1: got the forces of heaven backing me up. Listen how

249
00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:17,480
Speaker 1: he spoke to his mountain. He said, Goliath, this day

250
00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:21,320
Speaker 1: the Lord will deliver you into my hands. I will

251
00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:24,280
Speaker 1: defeat you and feed your head to the birds of

252
00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:27,120
Speaker 1: the air. He was saying, you may be big, but

253
00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:29,960
Speaker 1: I know my God is bigger. And when I speak

254
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:34,240
Speaker 1: to the mountain, God's promised it will be removed. If

255
00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:37,040
Speaker 1: you're going to be victorious, you've got to speak to

256
00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:40,360
Speaker 1: the giants in your life. Some of you are facing

257
00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:45,079
Speaker 1: a situation now that looks insurmountable. The medical report says

258
00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:49,960
Speaker 1: no way, The financial situation says impossible. In the natural

259
00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:53,480
Speaker 1: there are too many obstacles between you and your God

260
00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:54,320
Speaker 1: given dreams.

261
00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:56,440
Speaker 2: You are standing.

262
00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:59,640
Speaker 1: Exactly where David stood. It's not enough to just pray

263
00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:02,200
Speaker 1: about it. It's not enough to just believe that you're

264
00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:05,319
Speaker 1: going to get better. Now more than ever, you need

265
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:08,560
Speaker 1: to start talking to the mountain. Just say mountain of debt,

266
00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:12,320
Speaker 1: mountain of addiction, mountain of depression. It may look like

267
00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:15,480
Speaker 1: it's over, but I'm here to serve you. Notice this

268
00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:18,800
Speaker 1: is not the end. You will not defeat me. You

269
00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:22,080
Speaker 1: come against me with natural weapons. But I come against

270
00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:24,720
Speaker 1: you in the name of the Lord, God of Israel.

271
00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:27,360
Speaker 2: And I know when I.

272
00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:30,840
Speaker 1: Call on the name of Jesus, all the forces of

273
00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:33,960
Speaker 1: heaven come to attention. So I say to you, mountain,

274
00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:36,960
Speaker 1: be removed, get out of my life. I will live

275
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:40,000
Speaker 1: and not die. I am blessed and I cannot be cursed.

276
00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:44,560
Speaker 1: I'm a victor and not a victim. Friend's incredible power

277
00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:48,600
Speaker 1: is released when we speak to our mountains. Too many

278
00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:52,360
Speaker 1: times we're talking to God about how big our mountains are.

279
00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:55,680
Speaker 1: We should be talking to our mountains about how big

280
00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:59,360
Speaker 1: our God is. The more you talk about the mountain,

281
00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:02,600
Speaker 1: the weaker it makes you. Well, Joel, they've said this

282
00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:05,920
Speaker 1: sickness may not ever go away. I prayed, but my

283
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:09,640
Speaker 1: marriage isn't getting any better. This legal problem, it may

284
00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:11,080
Speaker 1: go on for another ten years.

285
00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:12,400
Speaker 2: I don't know what I'm going to do.

286
00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:15,800
Speaker 1: When you talk like that, all it's doing is making

287
00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:19,960
Speaker 1: you weaker, have less faith, have less energy. You've got

288
00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:23,400
Speaker 1: to quit talking about the mountain and start talking to

289
00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:24,040
Speaker 1: the mountain.

290
00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:25,320
Speaker 2: That's what David did.

291
00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:29,000
Speaker 1: He said, I will defeat you. You need to look

292
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:32,200
Speaker 1: at that cancer and say, cancer, you may be big,

293
00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:34,440
Speaker 1: but my God is much bigger.

294
00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:37,000
Speaker 2: You will not get the best of me. I will

295
00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:37,600
Speaker 2: defeat you.

296
00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:42,640
Speaker 1: Look at that addiction and don't say I'll never break it. Joel,

297
00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:45,360
Speaker 1: I just don't have the will power. No announce to

298
00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:48,800
Speaker 1: that addiction. The power that's in me is greater than

299
00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:51,160
Speaker 1: the power that's in you. You will not keep me

300
00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:52,240
Speaker 1: from my destiny.

301
00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:53,840
Speaker 2: I will defeat you.

302
00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:57,560
Speaker 1: We see this principle from the very start of the

303
00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:01,560
Speaker 1: scripture in the Book of Genesis, that the earth was

304
00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:03,320
Speaker 1: without form and void.

305
00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:05,359
Speaker 2: There was darkness everywhere.

306
00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:09,680
Speaker 1: What happened and God said, in other words, it was

307
00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:15,320
Speaker 1: dark and gloomy, chaotic, trouble everywhere. Isn't it interesting that

308
00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:19,840
Speaker 1: things didn't change just because God's presence was there. It

309
00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:23,000
Speaker 1: didn't get better just because God thought, I wish I

310
00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:24,720
Speaker 1: had a world, I wish it was.

311
00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:25,520
Speaker 2: All in order.

312
00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:30,480
Speaker 1: Nothing happened until God spoke. He said, to the darkness,

313
00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:34,720
Speaker 1: let there be light. Think about the word let it

314
00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:38,280
Speaker 1: indicates that something was opposing it. If I say let

315
00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:41,120
Speaker 1: go of my hand means that you're holding it or

316
00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:44,960
Speaker 1: you're opposing it. God said, in the middle of the darkness,

317
00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:47,920
Speaker 1: in the middle of the opposition, let there be light.

318
00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:52,480
Speaker 1: And our times of difficulty, when it's dark and gloomy,

319
00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:56,520
Speaker 1: you've got to speak light to the situation. When there's

320
00:16:56,640 --> 00:16:59,280
Speaker 1: tension and strife in your home, you need to say,

321
00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:03,160
Speaker 1: let there be peace in my home. In the middle

322
00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:05,840
Speaker 1: of a financial crisis, looks like you're going to go under,

323
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:09,879
Speaker 1: let there be abundance in my finances. In your health,

324
00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:12,640
Speaker 1: it doesn't look good. Don't talk about the darkness.

325
00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:13,240
Speaker 2: Speak light.

326
00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:16,480
Speaker 1: Let there be health, Let there be strength, Let there

327
00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:20,879
Speaker 1: be renewed vitality. Remember talking to this man after the

328
00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:24,400
Speaker 1: service that was very discouraged. At one point, he had

329
00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:28,159
Speaker 1: an extremely successful business. He was in the design and

330
00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:32,000
Speaker 1: the graphics industry. Over the last couple of years his

331
00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:35,000
Speaker 1: business has gone down to nothing, lost all of his

332
00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:38,960
Speaker 1: major clients, and it looked like bankruptcy was inevitable.

333
00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:40,200
Speaker 2: As we were.

334
00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:44,160
Speaker 1: Talking, he went on and on telling me about the problem,

335
00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:48,160
Speaker 1: explaining in great detail all the setbacks he had suffered

336
00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:51,399
Speaker 1: and how bad it was and how impossible it looked.

337
00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:55,720
Speaker 1: He was real good at talking about the problem. I

338
00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:57,960
Speaker 1: told him what I'm telling you. You got to start

339
00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:01,960
Speaker 1: talking to the problem, start calling light in the middle

340
00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:05,320
Speaker 1: of the darkness. I encouraged him all through the data

341
00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:09,199
Speaker 1: go around, saying things like, I'm blessed. The favor of

342
00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:13,000
Speaker 1: God is turning this situation around. God's favor is bringing

343
00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:16,680
Speaker 1: me new clients. Debt and lack cannot stay in my life.

344
00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:20,320
Speaker 1: I command those mountains to be removed. I saw him

345
00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:23,119
Speaker 1: about six months later, and he was beaming with joy.

346
00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:26,240
Speaker 1: He said, Joel, I did just what you said. I

347
00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:30,400
Speaker 1: started declaring favor and speaking to my mountains and calling

348
00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:34,240
Speaker 1: light in the midst of the darkness. He told how

349
00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:37,320
Speaker 1: at his lowest moment, when it looked for sure like

350
00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:39,919
Speaker 1: the business was going to go under, he got a

351
00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:42,600
Speaker 1: phone call out of the blue from a company he

352
00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:43,520
Speaker 1: had never done.

353
00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:44,240
Speaker 2: Business with before.

354
00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:47,800
Speaker 1: They asked him to make a presentation, and he made

355
00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:51,360
Speaker 1: it and they ended up hiring him as their graphics firm.

356
00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:55,560
Speaker 1: Now that one new client brings in more business than

357
00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:59,119
Speaker 1: all of his other clients did combined, he's on pace

358
00:18:59,200 --> 00:18:59,800
Speaker 1: to have a banner.

359
00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:01,639
Speaker 2: But here's what I'm saying.

360
00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:06,359
Speaker 1: I believe he would still be struggling, maybe even have

361
00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:09,720
Speaker 1: lost his business if he had not kicked his faith

362
00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:14,640
Speaker 1: into action and started speaking to his mountains in life.

363
00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:16,840
Speaker 1: We're all going to have mountains that will try to

364
00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:19,920
Speaker 1: keep us from God's best. And yes, it's good to pray,

365
00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:22,159
Speaker 1: it's good to believe, it's good to quote scriptures.

366
00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:25,440
Speaker 2: But remember the mountain moves when we talk to them.

367
00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:29,240
Speaker 1: You don't ask them to leave. You tell them to leave. Hey,

368
00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:31,639
Speaker 1: mountain of debt, you gotta go. I'm a child of

369
00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:35,600
Speaker 1: the Most High God. Mountain of sickness, Mountain of addiction,

370
00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:38,160
Speaker 1: mountain of a rebellion, mountain of lack.

371
00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:39,639
Speaker 2: You will not defeat me.

372
00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:44,440
Speaker 1: I speak favor over my finances, I speak health over

373
00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:48,600
Speaker 1: my body, I speak peace into my family, I speak

374
00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:52,000
Speaker 1: blessings into my future. There was a man in the

375
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:55,200
Speaker 1: scripture that did just this. His name was Zaruba Bell.

376
00:19:55,760 --> 00:19:59,399
Speaker 1: He was facing a mountain in his career. He was

377
00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:03,360
Speaker 1: in charge of rebuilding the temple. Everything had come against him.

378
00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:06,880
Speaker 1: The city leaders had hired lawyers to try to stop him.

379
00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:09,760
Speaker 1: They wouldn't give him the permits that he needed, and

380
00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:13,399
Speaker 1: other people were causing strife and division. What did he

381
00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:17,480
Speaker 1: do complain, say God, it's not fair, or did he

382
00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:20,360
Speaker 1: just pray? Say God, please, I'm begging you, You've got

383
00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:25,560
Speaker 1: to help me. No, Zaruba Bell understood this principle. He said,

384
00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:29,000
Speaker 1: who are you, O, great mountain.

385
00:20:28,720 --> 00:20:29,920
Speaker 2: That stands against me?

386
00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:34,639
Speaker 1: You shall become a mere mole hill, and I will

387
00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:38,760
Speaker 1: finish the temple by shouting grace to it.

388
00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:40,679
Speaker 2: Notice his declaration.

389
00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:44,159
Speaker 1: He was saying, this mountain is going to be turned

390
00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:47,160
Speaker 1: into a mole hill. How's it going to happen by

391
00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:51,200
Speaker 1: speaking grace to it? Another word for grace is favor.

392
00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:55,879
Speaker 1: In other words, he went around talking to his mountain saying,

393
00:20:56,240 --> 00:20:58,800
Speaker 1: I have the favor of God. I can do all

394
00:20:58,840 --> 00:21:02,920
Speaker 1: things through Christ. I will fulfill my destiny. I love

395
00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:05,919
Speaker 1: the way he started that passage, who are you, o,

396
00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:06,760
Speaker 1: great mountain?

397
00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:09,840
Speaker 2: He was saying, like David, you can't defeat me.

398
00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:13,200
Speaker 1: Don't you know who I am? I have an advantage.

399
00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:16,760
Speaker 1: I have the favor of God. In the same way,

400
00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:21,720
Speaker 1: when you face difficulties, don't start complaining, don't start talking defeat.

401
00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:23,359
Speaker 2: Do like he did.

402
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:28,119
Speaker 1: Dig your heels in and start speaking favor over that situation.

403
00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:31,320
Speaker 1: Some of you are struggling in your finances. You need

404
00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:34,040
Speaker 1: to get your checkbook out and speak favor over it.

405
00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:37,520
Speaker 1: You have a child that won't do right. Quit complaining

406
00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:40,879
Speaker 1: about him and start speaking favor over him. You're in

407
00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:44,840
Speaker 1: a legal situation. Start talking to your mountain. When you

408
00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:48,800
Speaker 1: declare favor, God says he will turn your mountains into

409
00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:53,159
Speaker 1: mold hills. I remember one time years ago, Victoria and

410
00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:56,600
Speaker 1: I were traveling overseas and we were at this smaller

411
00:21:56,680 --> 00:21:59,520
Speaker 1: airport in India. We were going to meet my father

412
00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:02,720
Speaker 1: in another city. When we got to the gate just

413
00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:06,520
Speaker 1: about to leave, the man working there was very unfriendly.

414
00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:09,880
Speaker 2: He had a sour attitude, like he was mad at

415
00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:12,760
Speaker 2: the world. We handed him our tickets.

416
00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:13,919
Speaker 1: And he looked at him and he threw them on

417
00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:15,920
Speaker 1: the counter and he said, you're too late.

418
00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:17,000
Speaker 2: You can't go.

419
00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:20,679
Speaker 1: We were there thirty minutes ahead of time. The ticket

420
00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:23,920
Speaker 1: still said we had ten minutes left aboard. There wasn't

421
00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:27,360
Speaker 1: another flight till the next day. And I said, very kindly,

422
00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:30,440
Speaker 1: very friendly, sir, we really need to get on this flight.

423
00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:32,879
Speaker 1: There's any way that you could help us, We would

424
00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:34,119
Speaker 1: really appreciate it.

425
00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:38,119
Speaker 2: He didn't even look up. He ignored us, acted like

426
00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:38,920
Speaker 2: we weren't there.

427
00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:42,399
Speaker 1: I went over by the gate and it was like

428
00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:45,800
Speaker 1: a holy anger rose up on the inside.

429
00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:49,439
Speaker 2: I didn't pray about the mountain. I started speaking to

430
00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:52,080
Speaker 2: that mountain, not out loud. I didn't want him to

431
00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:52,359
Speaker 2: hear me.

432
00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:55,720
Speaker 1: He was mad enough, But under my breath I said,

433
00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:59,080
Speaker 1: you mountain of a sour attitude that would try to

434
00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:02,240
Speaker 1: keep us from our destiny. You gotta be removed. I'm

435
00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:05,880
Speaker 1: saying to you to leave. I started speaking favor over

436
00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:08,199
Speaker 1: that mountain. I said, father, I want to thank you

437
00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:11,480
Speaker 1: that your favor is turning this situation around. Thank you

438
00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:13,639
Speaker 1: that your favor will cause him to let us on

439
00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:16,560
Speaker 1: this plane. Lord, I think you that your favor is

440
00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:18,240
Speaker 1: greater than his sour attitude.

441
00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:20,120
Speaker 2: It was the strangest thing.

442
00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:23,320
Speaker 1: About ten minutes later, he came over to where we

443
00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:26,439
Speaker 1: were and he motioned with his hand for us to

444
00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:27,080
Speaker 1: follow him.

445
00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:30,400
Speaker 2: He never said a word. He still seemed just as

446
00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:32,040
Speaker 2: perturbed as he was before.

447
00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:34,639
Speaker 1: But we followed him and he opened the door to

448
00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:37,439
Speaker 1: the gate. He led us down the jetway. When we

449
00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:39,359
Speaker 1: got to the plane, he put his hand out like

450
00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:40,320
Speaker 1: that for us to get on.

451
00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:41,720
Speaker 2: Still never said a word.

452
00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:44,960
Speaker 1: You know me, I smile real big, thank you so much.

453
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:49,560
Speaker 2: I appreciate that he had this frown, almost like he

454
00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:51,000
Speaker 2: is going to start growling at us.

455
00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:54,720
Speaker 1: It was like somebody forced him to let us on

456
00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:57,439
Speaker 1: that plane. I believe that was the power of the

457
00:23:57,480 --> 00:24:03,800
Speaker 1: most high God moving a mountain. Friends, God knows how

458
00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:06,119
Speaker 1: to get you to where you're supposed to be. And

459
00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:08,719
Speaker 1: let me tell you, no grouchy person can keep you

460
00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:09,600
Speaker 1: from your destiny.

461
00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:12,960
Speaker 2: I see a lady saying, thank God, my husband can't

462
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:15,919
Speaker 2: stop me. But it's funny.

463
00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:18,399
Speaker 1: When we got on the plane and went to our seats,

464
00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:21,359
Speaker 1: somebody was sitting in them. Our signs seats were taken,

465
00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:24,160
Speaker 1: and the flight attendant came over and she was very nice,

466
00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:24,800
Speaker 1: very friendly.

467
00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:25,600
Speaker 2: She said, oh, I'm.

468
00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:27,800
Speaker 1: Sorry I gave those seats away, but follow me, and

469
00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:28,680
Speaker 1: she took us up.

470
00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:29,360
Speaker 2: To first class.

471
00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:32,240
Speaker 1: She said, these are the only two seats we have available.

472
00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:34,400
Speaker 1: Do you think they would be okay? I said, well,

473
00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:39,119
Speaker 1: I think so. That was the favor of God moving

474
00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:43,040
Speaker 1: a mountain. Well, you say, Joel, does that happen every

475
00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:46,000
Speaker 1: time you speak favor every time you speak.

476
00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:47,119
Speaker 2: To the mountain? Of course not.

477
00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:49,600
Speaker 1: But if we would have missed that flight and not

478
00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:51,679
Speaker 1: been allowed to get on, we would have stayed in

479
00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:55,280
Speaker 1: faith and believed that God was directing our steps. But

480
00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:59,359
Speaker 1: are there times that we don't see mountains? Moved because

481
00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:03,240
Speaker 1: we're not speed to them. I believe there are Faith

482
00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:06,359
Speaker 1: is what moves God. When you speak to the mountain,

483
00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:10,199
Speaker 1: when you declare God's favor, that activates the power of

484
00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:13,640
Speaker 1: the most High. That's when he said He'll turn mountains

485
00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:17,359
Speaker 1: into mole hills. Let me ask you, are there mountains

486
00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:20,720
Speaker 1: that are holding you back today? Is there something that's

487
00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:24,640
Speaker 1: keeping you from God's best? A mountain in your career,

488
00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:28,640
Speaker 1: a mountain of guilt, a mountain of losing weight. Your

489
00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:31,360
Speaker 1: mind is telling you it's permanent, it's never.

490
00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:31,959
Speaker 2: Going to change.

491
00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:36,200
Speaker 1: My challenge to us is to start speaking to those mountains.

492
00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:40,200
Speaker 1: You prayed about it long enough. Now it's time to say, mountain,

493
00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:44,520
Speaker 1: be removed. You will not defeat me. I speak favor

494
00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:49,440
Speaker 1: over this situation. Remember, your mountain is going to respond

495
00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:54,440
Speaker 1: to your voice. There's nothing more powerful than you declaring

496
00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:58,920
Speaker 1: victory over your life. Some of you have talked about

497
00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:02,080
Speaker 1: the mountain long enough. You need to start talking to

498
00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:05,399
Speaker 1: the mountain. If you will rise up and say to

499
00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:09,399
Speaker 1: the sickness, say to the strife, say to the depression,

500
00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:12,480
Speaker 1: be removed. You've got to go, then God will do

501
00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:15,000
Speaker 1: for you what he did for Zaruba. Bel he will

502
00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:19,440
Speaker 1: turn your mountains into mole hills. You will overcome obstacles

503
00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:22,800
Speaker 1: that looked permanent. You will accomplish dreams that you thought

504
00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:26,359
Speaker 1: were impossible. And I believe in declare you will become

505
00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:29,200
Speaker 1: everything God's created you to be, and you will have

506
00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:31,159
Speaker 1: everything God intended for you to have.

507
00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:33,000
Speaker 2: Amen. Do you receive it today?

508
00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:37,520
Speaker 1: We never like to close our broadcast without giving you

509
00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:38,879
Speaker 1: an opportunity to make.

510
00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:41,600
Speaker 2: Jesus the lord of your life. Would you pray with me?

511
00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:47,400
Speaker 1: Just say, Lord, Jesus, I repent of my sins, Come

512
00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:48,200
Speaker 1: into my heart.

513
00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:50,960
Speaker 2: I make you my Lord and savior.

514
00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:54,800
Speaker 1: Friends, if you prayed that simple prayer, we believe you

515
00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:55,680
Speaker 1: got born again.

516
00:26:56,200 --> 00:26:59,240
Speaker 2: Get in a good Bible based church. Keep God first place.

517
00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:02,000
Speaker 2: He's going to take your places that you've never dreamed of.

518
00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:09,480
Speaker 3: What if what you imagine came to pass. What if

519
00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:12,919
Speaker 3: what you asked for turned out greater than what you

520
00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:17,119
Speaker 3: can see? What if you could plan for God's best

521
00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:18,679
Speaker 3: in your life.

522
00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:21,960
Speaker 1: We all have hopes and dreams and things we're believing for,

523
00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:24,920
Speaker 1: But what God has in store for you is more

524
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:27,760
Speaker 1: than you can imagine. When you start the year off

525
00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:31,240
Speaker 1: in faith, believing for greater things, that's when God will

526
