When it would rain, 49 00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:23,120 Speaker 6: the positive farmer would say, Lord, thank you for water 50 00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:23,880 Speaker 6: and our crops. 51 00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:25,799 Speaker 4: The negative farmer would say. 52 00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:27,679 Speaker 6: Yeah, but if it keeps this up, it's going to 53 00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:32,079 Speaker 6: rock the roots. When the sun would come out, positive farmer, Lord, 54 00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:36,560 Speaker 6: thank you for giving our plants valuable nutrients. Negative farmer, Yeah, 55 00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:38,880 Speaker 6: but if it keeps this up, it's going to scorch 56 00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:42,400 Speaker 6: the crops. One day they were bird hunting together in 57 00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:46,239 Speaker 6: a boat. Positive farmer just got a brand new bird dog. 58 00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:49,120 Speaker 6: He is so proud of him. He shot a bird, 59 00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:53,040 Speaker 6: fell in the water, said to his negative farmer, watch this. 60 00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:56,400 Speaker 6: The dog jumped out of the boat, ran on top 61 00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:59,680 Speaker 6: of the water, picked the bird up, ran back on 62 00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:02,639 Speaker 6: top of the water, put it in the boat. Said 63 00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:05,440 Speaker 6: what do you think about that? Negative farmer said, should 64 00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:08,120 Speaker 6: have known it. That dog can't even swim. 65 00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:12,480 Speaker 4: Say it like you mean it. This is my Bible. 66 00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:14,120 Speaker 4: I am what it says. I am. 67 00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:17,040 Speaker 6: I have what it says I have. I can do 68 00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:19,720 Speaker 6: what it says I can do. Today I will be 69 00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:23,720 Speaker 6: taught the word of God. I boldly confess. My mind 70 00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:27,120 Speaker 6: is alert, my heart is receptive. I will never be 71 00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:29,520 Speaker 6: the same. In Jesus' name. 72 00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:30,480 Speaker 4: God bless you. 73 00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:34,200 Speaker 6: I want to talk to you today about seeing to 74 00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:37,840 Speaker 6: the promise. All of us have things we're believing for, 75 00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:42,640 Speaker 6: dreams we want to accomplish, Problems we're hoping will turn around. 76 00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:45,760 Speaker 6: We know God put the promise in our heart, but 77 00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:48,720 Speaker 6: we don't see how it can happen. Maybe the medical 78 00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:52,600 Speaker 6: report's not good. Child is off course, we don't have the. 79 00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:54,960 Speaker 4: Funds we need. Doesn't seem possible. 80 00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:59,080 Speaker 6: This is the way the Israelites felt in Numbers twenty one. 81 00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:02,280 Speaker 4: We were in the desert. It was hot. 82 00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:06,280 Speaker 6: They were tired and thirsty, but all they could see 83 00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:10,760 Speaker 6: was more sand, more rocks, more barrenness. And just when 84 00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:13,800 Speaker 6: they thought they were done, they came to this place 85 00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:17,880 Speaker 6: where there was an old well. I can imagine they 86 00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:21,200 Speaker 6: were excited, thinking, finally we're going to get some water. 87 00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:25,640 Speaker 6: They rushed over to it, but the well was dry. 88 00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:28,559 Speaker 6: They looked down it and could see hadn't been used 89 00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:31,760 Speaker 6: in years, filled with dirt, rocks. 90 00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:34,560 Speaker 4: All kinds of debris. It was another disappointment. 91 00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:39,080 Speaker 6: But God told Moses to gather the people around, and 92 00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:42,280 Speaker 6: he was going to give them water. God gave them 93 00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:44,560 Speaker 6: the promise water is coming. 94 00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:45,360 Speaker 4: In the desert. 95 00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:48,280 Speaker 6: Things are about to turn around. I'm going to do 96 00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:53,000 Speaker 6: something out of the ordinary. But the promise didn't automatically 97 00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:56,880 Speaker 6: come to pass. It didn't happen just because God said it. 98 00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:01,200 Speaker 6: There was something the Israelites had to do. The scripture 99 00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:06,920 Speaker 6: says they begin to sing this song, spring up a Well, 100 00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:10,560 Speaker 6: right in the middle of the desert, when they were discouraged, 101 00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:16,680 Speaker 6: when it looked impossible. Instead of complaining, they started singing. 102 00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:18,479 Speaker 4: Spring up a well. 103 00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:22,600 Speaker 6: They were making a declaration of faith. They were saying, Lord, 104 00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:25,800 Speaker 6: thank you that the water is coming, thank you that 105 00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:28,840 Speaker 6: you're making streams in the desert, thank you that you're 106 00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:32,479 Speaker 6: supplying all of our needs. The verse goes on to 107 00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:36,200 Speaker 6: say they sing to the well. 108 00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:37,000 Speaker 4: That's the key. 109 00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:41,119 Speaker 6: You have to sing to the promise. It didn't look 110 00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:46,599 Speaker 6: practical in the natural. The well was dried up. Every 111 00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:50,200 Speaker 6: circumstance said water is not going to come out of 112 00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:54,880 Speaker 6: this empty well. Thoughts told them you look foolish. You're 113 00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:58,719 Speaker 6: wasting your time singing to a well. They could have 114 00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:01,200 Speaker 6: talked themselves out of it, said Moses, we're not going 115 00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:05,400 Speaker 6: to sing. We're hot, we're thirsty. We'll sing after we 116 00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:09,760 Speaker 6: get some water. Instead, they kept singing this phrase over 117 00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:12,920 Speaker 6: and over spring up o well, thanking. 118 00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:13,560 Speaker 4: God for the promise. 119 00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:16,960 Speaker 6: All of a sudden, in the middle of the desert, 120 00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:19,720 Speaker 6: water begin to shoot up out of that dried up, 121 00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:23,800 Speaker 6: empty well. They saw the promise fulfilled. And there are 122 00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:28,559 Speaker 6: promises God is put in you. Every circumstance may say 123 00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:31,920 Speaker 6: it's not going to happen. You'll never get well, you'll 124 00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:35,279 Speaker 6: never meet the right person, you'll never accomplish that dream. 125 00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:38,599 Speaker 6: It's been a long time. You feel like you're in 126 00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:42,479 Speaker 6: a drought. You have to do like them and sing 127 00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:48,120 Speaker 6: to the promise, your praise, your thanksgiving. Those declaration of 128 00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:52,279 Speaker 6: faith is what causes water to flow in the desert. 129 00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:55,560 Speaker 6: Doesn't take any faith to sing. 130 00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:56,840 Speaker 4: After the water shows up. 131 00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:01,360 Speaker 6: See easy to sing once the promise is fulfilled. But 132 00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:06,400 Speaker 6: the singing the praise is what causes healing to spring up, 133 00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:11,960 Speaker 6: abundance to spring up, breakthroughs to spring up. And sometimes 134 00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:15,840 Speaker 6: we're waiting on God, but God is waiting on us. 135 00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:19,840 Speaker 6: Why don't you start calling out those promises He's put 136 00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:23,960 Speaker 6: in you. If you're dealing with an illness, instead of complaining, 137 00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:28,040 Speaker 6: spring up old healing Lord, Thank you that you're restoring 138 00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:31,160 Speaker 6: health back into me. Thank you that the number of 139 00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:34,720 Speaker 6: my days you will fulfill. You don't have the funds 140 00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:41,080 Speaker 6: you need. Spring up abundance, Spring up promotion, Spring up opportunity. Father, 141 00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:44,120 Speaker 6: Thank you that I will lend and not borrow. Thank 142 00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:48,160 Speaker 6: you that whatever I touch prospers and succeeds. You've been 143 00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:52,640 Speaker 6: single a long time, believing for a spouse. Spring up, Oh, 144 00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:57,000 Speaker 6: good looking husband. Throw a couple adjectives in there. You're 145 00:07:57,040 --> 00:08:03,120 Speaker 6: believing for children. Spring up, obey be, spring up offspring. Father, 146 00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:06,640 Speaker 6: you said my seed would be mighty in the land. 147 00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:10,480 Speaker 6: You said children are a gift from the Lord. So Father, 148 00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:14,000 Speaker 6: thank you that my baby is on the way. That's 149 00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:18,000 Speaker 6: what it means to sing to the promise. When we 150 00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:21,560 Speaker 6: were trying to acquire this building, the former Compact Center, 151 00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:26,120 Speaker 6: all the odds were against us. Well known business leaders 152 00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:28,520 Speaker 6: told us that we would never get it, that we 153 00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:32,679 Speaker 6: were wasting our time. We didn't really have the connections, 154 00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:37,800 Speaker 6: the experience, the funding. All we had was a promise 155 00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:41,320 Speaker 6: that we knew God placed in our heart. Let me 156 00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:45,680 Speaker 6: encourage you. You and God are a majority if you'll 157 00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:49,040 Speaker 6: stay in faith, Sing to the promise, Tell it to 158 00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:53,080 Speaker 6: spring forth. All the forces of darkness cannot stop you. 159 00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:57,800 Speaker 6: God has the final say. When he hears you thinking 160 00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:02,160 Speaker 6: him before the answer, come praising him while you're still 161 00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:05,320 Speaker 6: in a drought, declaring his favor when the odds are 162 00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:08,760 Speaker 6: against you. He'll make things happen that you could. 163 00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:09,360 Speaker 4: Never make happen. 164 00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:13,520 Speaker 6: He'll open doors that no man can shut. Victoria and 165 00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:15,960 Speaker 6: I used to come up to the Compact Center before 166 00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:19,160 Speaker 6: we owned it, late at night when nobody was around, 167 00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:22,480 Speaker 6: and we would walk around the building. With every step 168 00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:25,880 Speaker 6: we would say, Father, thank you that you're fighting our battles, 169 00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:29,520 Speaker 6: thank you that you're bigger than this opposition, Thank you 170 00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:33,480 Speaker 6: that your favor surrounds us like a shield. What will 171 00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:37,040 Speaker 6: we doing singing to the promise? Say in an effect, 172 00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:43,560 Speaker 6: spring up, Oh, Compact Center, spring up destiny, spring up favor, 173 00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:48,320 Speaker 6: spring up breakthroughs. God supernaturally opened the door, and here 174 00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:51,600 Speaker 6: we are today. But it's easy to complain about how 175 00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:54,200 Speaker 6: it's not going to work out, and talk about how 176 00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:57,280 Speaker 6: impossible it is. That's going to cause you to get 177 00:09:57,320 --> 00:10:02,319 Speaker 6: stuck where you are live, discourage, settle for mediocrity. Why 178 00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:06,120 Speaker 6: don't you start singing to the promise. There are goals 179 00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:12,280 Speaker 6: God has put in you dreams, healing, promotion, restoration, they're 180 00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:15,560 Speaker 6: lying dormant. You may not see how it can happen. 181 00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:18,719 Speaker 6: You haven't had the breaks that you need. You could 182 00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:22,120 Speaker 6: easily settle there and think that it wasn't meant to be. 183 00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:26,440 Speaker 6: Those promises are still alive. You have to start calling 184 00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:31,160 Speaker 6: them out. Healing spring up in me, Talent spring up 185 00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:36,680 Speaker 6: in me. Good relationships, joy, peace spring up all through 186 00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:39,320 Speaker 6: the day. Lord, Thank you that my healing is coming. 187 00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:42,600 Speaker 6: Thank you that good breaks are on the way. Thank 188 00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:45,760 Speaker 6: You that divine connections the right people are. 189 00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:46,480 Speaker 4: In my future. 190 00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:50,319 Speaker 6: You may be sick. You can sing your way to health. 191 00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:54,160 Speaker 6: You discourage, you can sing your way to joy. You're 192 00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:56,440 Speaker 6: stuck in your career, you can sing your. 193 00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:57,560 Speaker 4: Way to the next level. 194 00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:01,319 Speaker 6: Well, Joel, this sounds good, but you don't know my situation. 195 00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:05,240 Speaker 6: I got passed over for the big promotion. The medical 196 00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:07,800 Speaker 6: report says I'm not gonna make it. I've had this 197 00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:11,000 Speaker 6: addiction so long, I don't think I'll ever break it. 198 00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:15,800 Speaker 6: That's exactly where the Israelites were in the desert. They 199 00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:21,320 Speaker 6: were tired, discouraged, but they dared to sing to an empty, 200 00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:25,679 Speaker 6: dried up well. They dared to thank God for provision 201 00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:30,000 Speaker 6: when it looked foolish. Every voice may tell you it's 202 00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:33,000 Speaker 6: not going to happen. You have to dig your heels 203 00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:37,120 Speaker 6: in and say, spring up healing, Spring up new levels, 204 00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:42,440 Speaker 6: spring up promotion. Don't complain about the problem, Sing to 205 00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:46,520 Speaker 6: the promise. Thank God that things are changing in your favor. 206 00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:50,360 Speaker 6: Thank Him that blessings are chasing you down. Thank Him 207 00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:53,960 Speaker 6: that your children will fulfill their destinies. That as for 208 00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:57,400 Speaker 6: you and your house, you will serve the Lord. I 209 00:11:57,400 --> 00:11:59,760 Speaker 6: talked to a young man. He came from a small 210 00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:04,280 Speaker 6: town in Mississippi. He got a scholarship to play soccer 211 00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:08,359 Speaker 6: at a major university. It's very talented, very good athlete, 212 00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:12,400 Speaker 6: but his dream was to play football. His junior year 213 00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:15,520 Speaker 6: in college, he talked to the coaches. They let him 214 00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:18,040 Speaker 6: switch from soccer to football. 215 00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:19,080 Speaker 4: He was the kicker. 216 00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:22,360 Speaker 6: He was thrilled to be on the football team, but 217 00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:25,640 Speaker 6: the coaches didn't give him a chance because he didn't 218 00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:27,359 Speaker 6: come from a football background. 219 00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:29,280 Speaker 4: They never put him in the game. 220 00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:33,280 Speaker 6: For two years, he sat the bench, never kicked one 221 00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:37,280 Speaker 6: field goal. At the end of his last college season, 222 00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:41,440 Speaker 6: there was a scout day when coaches from professional teams 223 00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:43,960 Speaker 6: would come and look at the players and evaluate them. 224 00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:47,920 Speaker 6: He was hoping somebody would be interested in him. He 225 00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:51,400 Speaker 6: was a very skilled kicker, but since he had never 226 00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:55,040 Speaker 6: played a game, nobody knew who he was. He waited 227 00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:57,560 Speaker 6: and waited for a phone call, but it never came. 228 00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:01,800 Speaker 6: It looked like his football days were over. Driving home 229 00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:05,640 Speaker 6: from college, flipped on the radio and came across our 230 00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:10,079 Speaker 6: serious exem station. He heard me talking about how a 231 00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:13,880 Speaker 6: shift is coming, how you're just one phone call away 232 00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:17,199 Speaker 6: from your destiny, how one touch of God's favor can 233 00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:20,280 Speaker 6: catapult you to the next level. I talked about how 234 00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:23,600 Speaker 6: it's going to happen faster than you think. When he 235 00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:28,120 Speaker 6: heard that, something came alive on the inside, he knew. 236 00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:28,920 Speaker 4: That was for him. 237 00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:32,200 Speaker 6: He got his cell phone out and made a three 238 00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:35,880 Speaker 6: minute video telling everyone that he was going to be 239 00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:40,320 Speaker 6: in the NFL that year. Most of his friends thought 240 00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:43,400 Speaker 6: he had lost his mind. He had never kicked a 241 00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:47,160 Speaker 6: field goal in college, had no track record. Now you're 242 00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:51,240 Speaker 6: going to play professional football. That doesn't make sense. Now, 243 00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:56,760 Speaker 6: instead of being discouraged, instead of complaining, he had this expectancy. 244 00:13:57,480 --> 00:14:00,679 Speaker 6: He went around saying, Lord, thank you for opening up 245 00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:04,040 Speaker 6: new doors. Thank you that your favor causes me to 246 00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:08,160 Speaker 6: stand out. Thank you that you're bringing opportunity across my path. 247 00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:13,679 Speaker 6: He was singing to the promise, saying, in effect, spring up, 248 00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:17,800 Speaker 6: oh whell looking for God's goodness. Four hours after he 249 00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:22,120 Speaker 6: made the video, he received a phone call from Cincinnati, Ohio. 250 00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:26,120 Speaker 6: He doesn't know anyone in Cincinnati, so he didn't answer it. 251 00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:28,440 Speaker 4: They left a voice message. 252 00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:32,200 Speaker 6: It said, this is the kicking coach for the Cincinnati 253 00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:35,560 Speaker 6: Bengals football team. We'd like you to come to our 254 00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:38,920 Speaker 6: rookie camp and try out for the team. He thought 255 00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:41,880 Speaker 6: it was a prank call, some friends playing a joke 256 00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:45,200 Speaker 6: on him. He called the number back, found out it 257 00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:47,800 Speaker 6: was the real thing. He tried out for the team, 258 00:14:48,120 --> 00:14:51,080 Speaker 6: and he made the team. Today, he's one of the 259 00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:54,920 Speaker 6: few African American kickers in the NFL. 260 00:14:56,280 --> 00:14:57,960 Speaker 4: How could someone. 261 00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:01,840 Speaker 6: That's never kicked a field goal in college doesn't have 262 00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:06,320 Speaker 6: the qualifications, the experience, the resume make it to the 263 00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:11,120 Speaker 6: highest level the NFL. That's God bringing water out of 264 00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:14,920 Speaker 6: an empty well. That's God making streams in the desert. 265 00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:20,120 Speaker 6: That's what happens when you sing to the promise. Not 266 00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:24,160 Speaker 6: complain about the drought, complain about who treated you wrong, 267 00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:28,120 Speaker 6: live discouraged because the well was dried up and empty. 268 00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:31,720 Speaker 6: That doesn't do anything productive. You have to do like 269 00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:35,640 Speaker 6: him when the odds are against you, when it looks impossible, 270 00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:39,400 Speaker 6: when you've had bad breaks, dare to say, spring up, 271 00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:42,840 Speaker 6: o well, Lord, Thank you that you're opening up new doors. 272 00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:45,960 Speaker 6: Thank you that you're freeing me from this addiction. Thank 273 00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:50,440 Speaker 6: you that you're bringing divine connections across my path. You 274 00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:53,720 Speaker 6: have to do this by faith. See when the Israelites 275 00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:58,360 Speaker 6: saying spring up a well, they couldn't see water, they 276 00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:02,320 Speaker 6: couldn't taste water, they couldn't feel water, they couldn't smell water. 277 00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:07,040 Speaker 6: There was no reason, logically speaking, for them to believe 278 00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:10,440 Speaker 6: that water was around. If you just go by what 279 00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:13,480 Speaker 6: you see and feel and think, you'll talk yourself out 280 00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:17,240 Speaker 6: of it. That's why the scripture says walk by faith 281 00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:21,040 Speaker 6: and not by sight. If the Israelites would have looked 282 00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:24,760 Speaker 6: at it in the natural, instead of singing, spring up, 283 00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:28,920 Speaker 6: oh well, they would have sang this old well is empty, 284 00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:32,120 Speaker 6: this old well is dried up. Would have been a 285 00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:37,480 Speaker 6: country western song. But in difficult times you're gonna be 286 00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:41,120 Speaker 6: saying something. You're either going to be singing about the 287 00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:45,520 Speaker 6: problem or singing to the promise either talking about how 288 00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:48,440 Speaker 6: big your challenge is or talking about how big your 289 00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:48,920 Speaker 6: God is. 290 00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:50,840 Speaker 4: Either saying I'll. 291 00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:53,080 Speaker 6: Never get out of this drought or this drought is 292 00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:54,040 Speaker 6: only temporary. 293 00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:55,840 Speaker 4: I know water is on the way. 294 00:16:56,160 --> 00:17:00,000 Speaker 6: Spring up, oh well, spring up victory, spring up abundance, 295 00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:03,080 Speaker 6: spring up healing, spring up favor. 296 00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:06,360 Speaker 4: The scripture says, it's. 297 00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:09,680 Speaker 6: Not going to happen by our might, by our power, 298 00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:14,000 Speaker 6: but by the spirit of the Most High God. God 299 00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:17,640 Speaker 6: is not limited by the natural. He's limited by what 300 00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:22,160 Speaker 6: we believe. When you start singing to the promise, believing 301 00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:25,440 Speaker 6: that he can make streams in the desert, thanking him 302 00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:28,040 Speaker 6: for what he's put in your heart, God will show 303 00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:31,440 Speaker 6: out in your life in ways greater than you've ever imagined. 304 00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:34,800 Speaker 6: But too often we think, I'll wait till I see 305 00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:36,880 Speaker 6: the water, till I see the promise. 306 00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:40,040 Speaker 4: Then I'll sing. Then I'll have a good attitude. Joel, 307 00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:44,119 Speaker 4: that's backwards. You have to sing first. Isaiah put it 308 00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:44,600 Speaker 4: this way. 309 00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:49,800 Speaker 6: Sing o bearing woman, you who never bore a child, 310 00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:54,480 Speaker 6: break forth into song. He didn't say sing because God 311 00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:57,720 Speaker 6: gave you the baby, sing because you saw the promise. 312 00:17:57,760 --> 00:18:02,000 Speaker 4: Turned around. This text, written to women who were. 313 00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:05,720 Speaker 6: Barren back in the Bible days, if a lady didn't 314 00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:08,439 Speaker 6: give her husband a child, she was looked down on. 315 00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:12,119 Speaker 6: They lived with a sense of shame. That's why you 316 00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:15,159 Speaker 6: read about people like Hannah. She was so distressed that 317 00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:17,880 Speaker 6: she couldn't have a baby. She went to the altar 318 00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:22,240 Speaker 6: again and again wept and wept, so much so that 319 00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:26,520 Speaker 6: Eli the prophet thought she was drunk. But Isaiah wasn't 320 00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:29,080 Speaker 6: writing to people that had their children. 321 00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:33,240 Speaker 4: He was writing to people who were barren, people. 322 00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:37,000 Speaker 6: Who were waiting for the promise, believing for their healing, 323 00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:40,520 Speaker 6: hoping to meet the right person, praying that the business 324 00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:43,880 Speaker 6: would turn around. What are you supposed to do when 325 00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:47,480 Speaker 6: you're bearing? Beg God to help you? Complain about how 326 00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:51,359 Speaker 6: long it's taking live discouraged because life hasn't dealt you 327 00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:53,760 Speaker 6: a fair hand, No Isaiah said. 328 00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:57,280 Speaker 5: Sing when you're bearing, break forth into song. 329 00:18:57,680 --> 00:19:01,360 Speaker 4: Here's the principle. Praise is the birth position. 330 00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:06,240 Speaker 6: Thanking God is what causes promises to come to pass. 331 00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:11,520 Speaker 6: Complaining will keep your baby in the womb. Focusing on 332 00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:15,840 Speaker 6: negative circumstances will keep you barn. But when you switch 333 00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:18,880 Speaker 6: over into praise, you say, Lord, thank you for your 334 00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:22,240 Speaker 6: goodness and favor in my life. Lord, I know you 335 00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:25,000 Speaker 6: haven't brought me this far to leave me. So thank 336 00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:28,159 Speaker 6: you for new levels, thank you for breakthroughs. Thank you 337 00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:31,600 Speaker 6: that I will become everything You've created me to be. 338 00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:36,879 Speaker 6: That's not just being grateful, that's getting in to the 339 00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:41,840 Speaker 6: birth position. You continue to do that, living a life 340 00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:45,919 Speaker 6: of praise, then you will give birth to everything God's 341 00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:49,840 Speaker 6: placed in your heart. But when we're bearn it's easy 342 00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:53,119 Speaker 6: to live discouraged. It's easy to go around feeling sorry 343 00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:57,639 Speaker 6: for ourselves. But when you start thanking God that things 344 00:19:57,640 --> 00:20:02,040 Speaker 6: are changing in your favor, I can imagine God saying 345 00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:06,520 Speaker 6: to the angels, what's that sound I'm hearing. Most people 346 00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:10,960 Speaker 6: would be negative, worried, complaining, But listen to what they're saying. 347 00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:14,840 Speaker 6: They're thanking me that the answers on the way. They're 348 00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:18,960 Speaker 6: singing about the victory before they see the victory. Angels 349 00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:22,159 Speaker 6: go to work, restore their health, open up new doors, 350 00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:27,199 Speaker 6: bring that dream to pass. The Psalmist said, God inhabits 351 00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:30,560 Speaker 6: the praises of his people. If you want God to 352 00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:35,000 Speaker 6: show up, don't complain, don't talk about the problem, Sing 353 00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:37,760 Speaker 6: to the promise, thank him that it's on the way. 354 00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:41,840 Speaker 6: That's what a young lady I know did For years. 355 00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:43,960 Speaker 6: She and her husband had been trying to have a 356 00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:47,480 Speaker 6: baby in She went through all the fertility treatments. They 357 00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:50,840 Speaker 6: spent a lot of money with no success. They were 358 00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:53,680 Speaker 6: finally told that they weren't able to have children. 359 00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:57,280 Speaker 4: She didn't get discouraged. She didn't start complaining. 360 00:20:57,720 --> 00:21:01,320 Speaker 6: Every day she would say Lord, thank you that my 361 00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:04,760 Speaker 6: baby is on the way. She did this year after year. 362 00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:08,720 Speaker 6: The promise God put in you is like a seed. 363 00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:10,680 Speaker 4: It has to be watered. 364 00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:14,280 Speaker 6: The way you water that seed is through your praise, 365 00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:18,600 Speaker 6: by thanking God that is coming by living with expectancy. 366 00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:22,560 Speaker 6: And the reason some people stay barren they don't see 367 00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:26,399 Speaker 6: the promise fulfilled is they've stopped watering their seed. 368 00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:30,520 Speaker 4: They were excited at first. They believe they were. 369 00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:33,119 Speaker 6: Going to reach their dreams, break the addiction, meet the 370 00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:37,200 Speaker 6: right person. But over time when they didn't see it happening, 371 00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:40,960 Speaker 6: they got discouraged. But if you plan an apple seed 372 00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:44,280 Speaker 6: and don't water it, it's not going to grow. There's 373 00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:47,640 Speaker 6: nothing wrong with the seed. The seed is still full 374 00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:49,320 Speaker 6: of life, full of potential. 375 00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:52,280 Speaker 4: It just needs to be watered in the. 376 00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:56,359 Speaker 6: Same way the seed God put in you. May not 377 00:21:56,480 --> 00:21:59,320 Speaker 6: have come to pass yet. But the good news is 378 00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:02,639 Speaker 6: it's still alive. You may have to water it for 379 00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:05,399 Speaker 6: another month, a year, or twenty years. 380 00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:07,400 Speaker 4: But if you'll keep water in that. 381 00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:11,560 Speaker 6: Seed, thanking God for the promise, at the appointed time, 382 00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:15,000 Speaker 6: it will come to pass. And that's what this couple 383 00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:18,840 Speaker 6: did for many years. Recently they stopped me in the 384 00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:22,320 Speaker 6: lobby and told how after nine years. 385 00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:23,640 Speaker 4: They were able to get pregnant. 386 00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:26,800 Speaker 6: They have a two year old son, and now their 387 00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:30,840 Speaker 6: second child is on the way. This is after all 388 00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:34,920 Speaker 6: the medical reports said they couldn't have any children. Their 389 00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:39,040 Speaker 6: doctor was puzzled. He said, I've never seen anything like this. 390 00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:44,359 Speaker 6: Something happened and your womb just opened up. Everything started working. 391 00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:47,880 Speaker 6: She's in her forties. He said, you're like a twenty 392 00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:52,520 Speaker 6: year old. You can probably have five more children. She said, no, thanks, 393 00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:55,840 Speaker 6: I don't want to be that blessed. No more singing 394 00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:59,160 Speaker 6: of that promise. But what am I saying? God can 395 00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:02,440 Speaker 6: bring water out of an empty well, He can make 396 00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:06,440 Speaker 6: streams in the desert. Learn to scene to the promise, 397 00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:09,199 Speaker 6: thank him that it's on the way. Under your breath, 398 00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:15,120 Speaker 6: make declarations of faith, healing, Spring up, baby, spring up, promotion, 399 00:23:15,359 --> 00:23:20,160 Speaker 6: Spring up. If you'll live with this expectancy always water 400 00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:24,360 Speaker 6: in your praise. God will make things happen that looked impossible. 401 00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:26,520 Speaker 4: Second Kings, Chapter three. 402 00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:30,200 Speaker 6: The people of Judah had been traveling through the desert 403 00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:33,800 Speaker 6: for seven days on their way to battle an enemy 404 00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:38,200 Speaker 6: army when they too ran out of water. They didn't 405 00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:41,640 Speaker 6: realize the streams along the way were dried up. Now 406 00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:45,800 Speaker 6: they didn't have water for themselves or their animals. They 407 00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:49,240 Speaker 6: camped in a valley where it never rains. 408 00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:51,800 Speaker 4: It was hot, they were thirsty. 409 00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:55,199 Speaker 6: The worst place to run out of water looked like 410 00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:57,919 Speaker 6: they would be an easy target for the enemy that 411 00:23:58,040 --> 00:24:03,000 Speaker 6: was approaching. They sent to the profit Elisha, asking them 412 00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:07,040 Speaker 6: what they should do. He told them to dig ditches 413 00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:11,119 Speaker 6: in the valley to prepare for the water that was coming. 414 00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:15,400 Speaker 6: I'm sure, they said, Elisha, you must not realize. We're 415 00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:19,000 Speaker 6: in a valley where it never rains. They haven't had 416 00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:22,000 Speaker 6: water here for years. We're not going to waste our 417 00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:26,120 Speaker 6: time digging ditches. If we see some clouds starting to form, 418 00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:29,160 Speaker 6: if we hear a little thunder, maybe then we'll dig 419 00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:32,480 Speaker 6: a few ditches. He said, Now doesn't work that way. 420 00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:36,080 Speaker 6: If you want water, you have to dig the ditches. 421 00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:38,120 Speaker 4: First, he went on to. 422 00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:42,920 Speaker 6: Say, you will see neither wind nor rain, but this 423 00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:47,520 Speaker 6: valley will be filled with water. He was saying, it's 424 00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:50,760 Speaker 6: not going to happen a natural, ordinary way. 425 00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:53,400 Speaker 5: It's going to happen supernaturally. 426 00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:55,680 Speaker 4: They dug the ditches. 427 00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:59,840 Speaker 6: The next morning, it didn't rain, there wasn't a storm, 428 00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:04,399 Speaker 6: but out of nowhere, water begin flooding into that valley. 429 00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:08,600 Speaker 6: They went on to defeat the enemy army. Every time 430 00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:11,440 Speaker 6: you thank God that the Promise is coming. 431 00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:12,479 Speaker 4: You're digging a ditch. 432 00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:16,239 Speaker 6: The medical report may say you'll never get well, but 433 00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:18,440 Speaker 6: you go around saying, Father, thank you. 434 00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:19,560 Speaker 4: With long life. 435 00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:22,400 Speaker 6: You satisfy me, thank you that I will live and 436 00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:23,120 Speaker 6: not die. 437 00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:26,119 Speaker 4: Thoughts will tell you why are you digging that ditch? 438 00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:28,919 Speaker 6: Don't you know there are no clouds in the sky, 439 00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:30,959 Speaker 6: It doesn't rain in this valley. 440 00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:32,280 Speaker 4: Don't worry. 441 00:25:32,560 --> 00:25:35,600 Speaker 6: It's not going to happen a natural way. It's going 442 00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:39,840 Speaker 6: to be supernatural. Out of nowhere, your health shows up, 443 00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:43,160 Speaker 6: you meet the right person, your business takes off. 444 00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:45,000 Speaker 4: Suddenly, you're out of debt. 445 00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:49,640 Speaker 6: When you sing to the promise, you're digging ditches. You're 446 00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:54,040 Speaker 6: making preparations for God to do what you cannot do. 447 00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:59,280 Speaker 4: He said he would give you water without rain. That 448 00:25:59,359 --> 00:26:01,040 Speaker 4: means God can promote you. 449 00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:05,280 Speaker 6: Like that football kicker, even though you don't have the qualifications, 450 00:26:05,560 --> 00:26:09,439 Speaker 6: you don't have the experience. God can heal you like 451 00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:13,680 Speaker 6: my mother, without the treatment, even though medically speaking it 452 00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:18,080 Speaker 6: said it was over. God can promote you beyond your salary, 453 00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:19,800 Speaker 6: beyond your education. 454 00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:23,280 Speaker 4: He's not limited to your job, to your income. He 455 00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:24,080 Speaker 4: owns it all. 456 00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:28,359 Speaker 6: When you say, Father, thank you that my children make 457 00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:32,440 Speaker 6: good decisions, thank you that they will fulfill their destinies. 458 00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:35,640 Speaker 6: There may be no sign of it at the time. 459 00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:38,480 Speaker 6: If somebody heard you, they could say, what are you 460 00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:42,440 Speaker 6: talking about. Your children don't make good decisions. They're of course, 461 00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:45,520 Speaker 6: they're always in trouble. That's what they said to the 462 00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:48,560 Speaker 6: people back then. Why are you digging a ditch here? 463 00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:52,800 Speaker 6: It never rains in this valley. Don't be moved by 464 00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:56,120 Speaker 6: what you see. Be moved by what you know. We 465 00:26:56,240 --> 00:27:00,200 Speaker 6: know because we're praisers, because we sings to the problems, 466 00:27:01,080 --> 00:27:05,880 Speaker 6: because our declaration is spring up salvation in our children. 467 00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:09,399 Speaker 4: It's just a matter of time before the water shows up. 468 00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:11,440 Speaker 4: We know the breakthrough is on the way. 469 00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:16,119 Speaker 6: God is saying, if you'll do your part and dig 470 00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:19,800 Speaker 6: the ditches. I'll do my part and bring the water. 471 00:27:20,359 --> 00:27:23,600 Speaker 6: I'll show you favor. I'll open new doors.
