But thanks so much for 11 00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:30,319 Speaker 1: tuning in, and thank you again for coming out. I 12 00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:32,760 Speaker 1: like to start with something funny. I heard about this 13 00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:37,480 Speaker 1: lady that surprised a burglar in her kitchen one night late, 14 00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:41,000 Speaker 1: and she was home alone, no weapon, and she didn't 15 00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:43,720 Speaker 1: really know what to do. She thought, I'll just say 16 00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:47,320 Speaker 1: a scripture verse. She shouted out Acts two thirty eight. 17 00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:51,400 Speaker 1: The burglar suddenly froze and his tracks wouldn't move. The 18 00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:54,160 Speaker 1: police soon arrived and they were amazed at how a 19 00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:57,200 Speaker 1: woman with no weapon could do this. Now, he asked 20 00:00:57,240 --> 00:00:59,319 Speaker 1: the burglar, what was it about this scripture that had 21 00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:02,680 Speaker 1: such an effect on you? He said scripture. What scripture? 22 00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:04,880 Speaker 1: I thought she said she had an axe in two 23 00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:10,120 Speaker 1: thirty eighths. All right, holde up your bible, say it 24 00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:13,119 Speaker 1: like you mean it. This is my Bible. I am 25 00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:15,520 Speaker 1: what it says. I am. I have what it says 26 00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:18,040 Speaker 1: I have. I can do what it says I can do. 27 00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:21,000 Speaker 1: Today I will be talked the word of God. I 28 00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:25,240 Speaker 1: boldly confess. My mind is alert, my heart is receptive. 29 00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:29,080 Speaker 1: I will never be the same. In Jesus' name, God 30 00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:32,920 Speaker 1: bless you. I want to talk to you today about 31 00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:37,600 Speaker 1: going further faster. We're living in a day where God 32 00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:40,840 Speaker 1: is speeding things up. What should have taken you a 33 00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:45,120 Speaker 1: lifetime to accomplish. Because you honor God, He's going to 34 00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:48,480 Speaker 1: do it in a fraction of the time. In your career. 35 00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:51,480 Speaker 1: Maybe it should take you twenty years to work your 36 00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:54,360 Speaker 1: way up to that position, twenty years to build your 37 00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:58,440 Speaker 1: business up. Now things have shifted. God's going to give 38 00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:01,600 Speaker 1: you breaks that you didn't deserve. He's going to bring 39 00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:04,600 Speaker 1: the right people across your path. You're going to see 40 00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:08,280 Speaker 1: opportunity like you've never seen before. It's going to take 41 00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:12,880 Speaker 1: you further faster. Get those two words down in your spirit. 42 00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:15,840 Speaker 1: It may look like in the natural it's going to 43 00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:18,440 Speaker 1: take you years to get out of debt, years to 44 00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:22,000 Speaker 1: get well, years to overcome that problem. No, you need 45 00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:25,440 Speaker 1: to get ready. You've come into this shift. Think of 46 00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:28,239 Speaker 1: it like a car. When you shift from second gear 47 00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:32,120 Speaker 1: up to fourth gear. The engine is still running at 48 00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:35,720 Speaker 1: the same speed. It's not working any harder, but you're 49 00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:41,160 Speaker 1: going faster. You're covering more ground. The higher gears have 50 00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:46,360 Speaker 1: greater capacity. They're designed to go faster in the same way. 51 00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:50,880 Speaker 1: Because you've kept God first place, he's shifting you to 52 00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:55,639 Speaker 1: a higher gear. You're going to go further faster now 53 00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:58,880 Speaker 1: because you're working harder, trying to make it all happen. No, 54 00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:02,480 Speaker 1: you're putting forth this same effort, being your best every day. 55 00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:05,280 Speaker 1: But all of a sudden, you get a good break 56 00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:07,920 Speaker 1: that thrusts you years down the road. You get a 57 00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:11,040 Speaker 1: promotion that you weren't qualified for. You're going to look 58 00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:13,720 Speaker 1: out and think, how did I get here? Should have 59 00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:17,600 Speaker 1: taken me another twenty years, but here I am. Medical 60 00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:20,480 Speaker 1: reports said it'd take me five years to recover, but 61 00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:23,240 Speaker 1: I did it in six months. Should have taken me 62 00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:25,960 Speaker 1: most of my career to get into management, but here 63 00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:28,880 Speaker 1: I am at the age of thirty. What is that 64 00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:34,960 Speaker 1: God taking you further faster. Part of the shift is acceleration. 65 00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:38,360 Speaker 1: It's not going to take as long to accomplish as 66 00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:41,240 Speaker 1: your goals as you think, not going to take as 67 00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:43,680 Speaker 1: long to get out of that problem as it looks. 68 00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:48,640 Speaker 1: Almighty God, the creator of the universe, is breathing in 69 00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:52,680 Speaker 1: your direction. He's going to cause things to fall into place. 70 00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:55,840 Speaker 1: The right people are going to be drawn to you, 71 00:03:56,600 --> 00:04:01,200 Speaker 1: good breaks, opportunities, healing, restoration, faith. It's not going to 72 00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:04,520 Speaker 1: be business as usual. You've come into a shift. It's 73 00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:08,520 Speaker 1: going to be business as unusual. In December of two 74 00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:11,880 Speaker 1: thousand and three, we signed a sixty year lease with 75 00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:15,680 Speaker 1: the City of Houston for this facility. We always wanted 76 00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:17,920 Speaker 1: to own it, but the lease was the best thing 77 00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:21,159 Speaker 1: to make it happen at the time. Deep down, I 78 00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:25,040 Speaker 1: knew sometime during that sixty year period God would give 79 00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:28,120 Speaker 1: us the ability to purchase it. Two thousand and three 80 00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:31,320 Speaker 1: I was forty years old. I would be one hundred 81 00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:34,040 Speaker 1: years old at the end of the lease. I said, God, 82 00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:37,000 Speaker 1: I want to purchase this building in my lifetime. I 83 00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:38,279 Speaker 1: don't want to leave it up in the air for 84 00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:42,920 Speaker 1: the next generation. Three years ago, seven years into our 85 00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:46,440 Speaker 1: sixty year lease, the city was running low on funds. 86 00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:50,799 Speaker 1: The tax revenues were not what they projected. They decided 87 00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:53,760 Speaker 1: to sell off some of their excess properties to make 88 00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:56,920 Speaker 1: up for the shortfall in the budget. The mayor's office 89 00:04:56,960 --> 00:05:00,080 Speaker 1: called and asked if we would be interested in purchasing 90 00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:03,920 Speaker 1: the facility. Buying out the lease. A building like this 91 00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:07,560 Speaker 1: to build today would cost five hundred million dollars, and 92 00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:10,000 Speaker 1: of course we were interested, but we had to see 93 00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:13,360 Speaker 1: what the sell price was going to be. The city 94 00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:16,599 Speaker 1: did an appraisal. They had to take into account that 95 00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:19,760 Speaker 1: whoever bought the property, they would still have to honor 96 00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:23,960 Speaker 1: our sixty year lease. The appraisal came back not at 97 00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:27,400 Speaker 1: one hundred million, not at fifty million, but at seven 98 00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:31,600 Speaker 1: and a half million dollars. Today we owned this beautiful facility, 99 00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:37,320 Speaker 1: free and clear, no lease involved. Here's my point. What 100 00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:42,480 Speaker 1: could have taken sixty years, God did fifty three years sooner. 101 00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:47,280 Speaker 1: He took us further faster. Now you may think it's 102 00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:49,320 Speaker 1: gonna take you thirty years to get out of debt, 103 00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:52,240 Speaker 1: thirty years to pay your house off. You've already run 104 00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:55,320 Speaker 1: the numbers calculated it all. By the time you're one 105 00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:59,080 Speaker 1: hundred and seven years old, you're gonna be debt free. Yeah, 106 00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:03,080 Speaker 1: you're gonna be in heaven debt free. No, you don't 107 00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:06,320 Speaker 1: know what God is up to. You don't know what 108 00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:10,480 Speaker 1: God is already destined to come across your path one 109 00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:14,800 Speaker 1: phone call, like we received one contract, one good break, 110 00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:19,040 Speaker 1: one inheritance, and you're totally debt free. You're into overflow. 111 00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:22,040 Speaker 1: Now you need to get ready. God is saying it's 112 00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:25,560 Speaker 1: going to happen sooner than you think. I am shifting 113 00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:28,560 Speaker 1: things in your favor. You're going to come into acceleration. 114 00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:32,320 Speaker 1: What should have taken you a lifetime to accomplish, he's 115 00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:34,760 Speaker 1: going to do in a split second of time. Now, 116 00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:37,280 Speaker 1: don't talk yourself out of it. I don't know, Joe, 117 00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:40,840 Speaker 1: I don't have the seniority. I got all these college loans, 118 00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:43,719 Speaker 1: this debt. I've gone as far as I can. They'll 119 00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:46,760 Speaker 1: be a believer and not a doubter. You may not 120 00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:49,880 Speaker 1: see a way, but God still has a way. Our 121 00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:53,840 Speaker 1: attitude should be God, I'm in agreement with you. I 122 00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:57,640 Speaker 1: believe you have shifted things in my favor. You are 123 00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:02,040 Speaker 1: taking me further faster. I will accomplish my dreams sooner 124 00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:05,440 Speaker 1: than I think. I will overcome these problems quicker than 125 00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:09,280 Speaker 1: I thought. When you do that, Almighty God will open 126 00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:12,680 Speaker 1: doors that no man can shut. He'll connect you to 127 00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:16,560 Speaker 1: the right people. His favor will thrust you years down 128 00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:20,280 Speaker 1: the road. Back in nineteen forty nine, there was a 129 00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:24,960 Speaker 1: young minister named Billy Graham traveling the country, holding meetings 130 00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:28,760 Speaker 1: in large auditoriums. He was having success, but he wasn't 131 00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:33,440 Speaker 1: really nationally known. That summer, he conducted a meeting in 132 00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:37,120 Speaker 1: Los Angeles in a big tent. A gentleman showed up 133 00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:41,720 Speaker 1: by the name of William Randolph Hurst. Mister Hurst owned 134 00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:45,520 Speaker 1: newspapers all across the country. He was so touched that 135 00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:48,880 Speaker 1: night he sent a message to all of his publishers 136 00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:54,040 Speaker 1: to write favorable articles about Billy Graham. The next week, 137 00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:58,200 Speaker 1: the whole country was talking about this young minister. He 138 00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:03,120 Speaker 1: came to national prominence, Billy Graham practically overnight because of 139 00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:08,080 Speaker 1: this one man. What was that a divine shift? God 140 00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:12,200 Speaker 1: taken him further faster, could have taken him his whole 141 00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:16,600 Speaker 1: lifetime to gain that kind of respect and credibility, But 142 00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:20,239 Speaker 1: God used one man to show him favor and open 143 00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:23,800 Speaker 1: doors that took Billy Graham to a new level. Now, 144 00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:27,120 Speaker 1: the good news is God has already lined up the 145 00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:30,840 Speaker 1: right people for you. They are already in your future. 146 00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:33,600 Speaker 1: It's just a matter of time before they show up. 147 00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:37,959 Speaker 1: They will open doors that you could not open. They 148 00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:41,319 Speaker 1: will show you favor even though you didn't ask. They 149 00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:44,880 Speaker 1: will use their influence to make you look good. They're 150 00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:49,040 Speaker 1: ordained by God to accelerate his plan for your life. 151 00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:53,120 Speaker 1: And what's interesting is Billy Graham didn't search him out. 152 00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:56,600 Speaker 1: He searched Billy Graham out. You don't have to go 153 00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:59,560 Speaker 1: try to find the right people. You just honor God, 154 00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:02,800 Speaker 1: and the right people will find you. They'll pick you 155 00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:07,120 Speaker 1: out of a crowd. They'll knock on your door, they'll 156 00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:10,120 Speaker 1: show up at your office for some reason. They will 157 00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:13,439 Speaker 1: want to be good to you. That's a divine connection. 158 00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:19,319 Speaker 1: God will cause them to use their expertise, even their funds, 159 00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:23,520 Speaker 1: to take you further faster. Here's what will happen. You'll 160 00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:28,400 Speaker 1: accomplish more in less time. You'll be promoted beyond your education. 161 00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:33,360 Speaker 1: You'll increase beyond your experience. The right people will help 162 00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:35,640 Speaker 1: you go where you could not go on your own. 163 00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:39,520 Speaker 1: We have some good friends named Jerry and Jana Lackey. 164 00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:43,160 Speaker 1: They attended Lakewood for many years and then they moved 165 00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:47,000 Speaker 1: to Botswana, Africa to do missions work. They live out 166 00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:50,360 Speaker 1: in the middle of nowhere, taking care of the orphans, 167 00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:54,600 Speaker 1: feeding the poor, and teaching people, doing amazing work. One 168 00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:58,000 Speaker 1: time they didn't have electricity, any of the modern conveniences 169 00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:01,360 Speaker 1: that we have. But they've stayed faith faithful. Year after 170 00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:05,760 Speaker 1: year They've seen God's blessings. They've built orphanages and clinics 171 00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:09,400 Speaker 1: and schools, and God's favors been on their life. But 172 00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:13,680 Speaker 1: their big dream was to build a major youth center. 173 00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:18,080 Speaker 1: Seventy percent of the population in Botswana is under the 174 00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:21,640 Speaker 1: age of twenty five. This youth center would be a 175 00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:24,280 Speaker 1: place where the young people could come and grow and 176 00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:27,360 Speaker 1: learn and make friends. But it was going to cost 177 00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:32,360 Speaker 1: five million dollars. That's a lot even here, but over there, 178 00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:35,960 Speaker 1: where the annual income is less than a thousand dollars, 179 00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:40,559 Speaker 1: that was unheard of Jerry and Janna. They've raised funds 180 00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:43,880 Speaker 1: over the years, but nothing even close to this magnitude. 181 00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:49,480 Speaker 1: But one day a German businessman was visiting Botswana with 182 00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:52,320 Speaker 1: his wife and they fell in love with the country 183 00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:54,960 Speaker 1: got back home to the States. They wanted to do 184 00:10:55,040 --> 00:11:00,440 Speaker 1: something to help. They googled the phrase Botswana Orphanages and 185 00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:05,480 Speaker 1: the Lackeys organization came up. It's called Love Botswana Outreach. 186 00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:09,960 Speaker 1: He sent them a donation for twenty thousand dollars. He said, 187 00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:12,319 Speaker 1: I want to do more. A few weeks went by, 188 00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:16,160 Speaker 1: he sent them a three hundred thousand dollars donation. The 189 00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:19,440 Speaker 1: Lackeys were just so thrilled. He said, I want to 190 00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:22,840 Speaker 1: come see you. That man and his wife showed up 191 00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:27,800 Speaker 1: in Botswana and they stayed at this very exclusive safari 192 00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:32,640 Speaker 1: resort right there, about fifteen miles from the Lackey's Missions complex. 193 00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:35,959 Speaker 1: Jerry went to pick him up. One morning. The man 194 00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:39,400 Speaker 1: that owned the resort said to Jerry, Hey, the resorts 195 00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:42,360 Speaker 1: for sale. Would you like to buy it? He thought 196 00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:45,679 Speaker 1: Jerry was a wealthy businessman. Jerry kind of laugh said, man, 197 00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:47,680 Speaker 1: I'm a missionary living down the road. I don't have 198 00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:50,559 Speaker 1: that kind of money, but thank you well. This German 199 00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:55,520 Speaker 1: businessman overheard the conversation. He asked Jerry to find out 200 00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:58,200 Speaker 1: more about it. Jerry thought he wanted to buy it 201 00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:03,439 Speaker 1: for himself, but that German man bought this big, exclusive, 202 00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:07,600 Speaker 1: beautiful resort and gave it to Jerry and Jenna for 203 00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:13,840 Speaker 1: their outreaches. They were overwhelmed. German man came to see 204 00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:17,400 Speaker 1: their missions complex and he noticed the plans they had 205 00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:21,800 Speaker 1: drawn for this big youth center. This was the greatest 206 00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:25,000 Speaker 1: thing that Janna and Jerry had ever dreamed to do, 207 00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:28,640 Speaker 1: something that they prayed and believed that somehow they could 208 00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:32,800 Speaker 1: accomplish in their lifetime. The man asked them how much 209 00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:36,000 Speaker 1: it was going to cost. They said five million dollars. 210 00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:39,840 Speaker 1: He said, all right, you a check, and on April fourth, 211 00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:42,560 Speaker 1: in just a few days, they're going to dedicate totally 212 00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:48,880 Speaker 1: debt free that brand new youth facility. What was that 213 00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:55,160 Speaker 1: God taking them further faster. They're young people in their forties, 214 00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:59,680 Speaker 1: notice what I'm calling young now. It looked like they'd 215 00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:03,160 Speaker 1: be ray and believe in raising funds their whole life. 216 00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:07,680 Speaker 1: But they came into this shift. God brought one man 217 00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:11,800 Speaker 1: across their path, a divine connection. Listen, you don't need 218 00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:16,160 Speaker 1: everyone to help you. You just need one person God ordained, 219 00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:19,320 Speaker 1: and you will accomplish in a split second. What could 220 00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:23,320 Speaker 1: have taken you your whole lifetime. Well, Joe, I don't 221 00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:25,800 Speaker 1: know this will happen for me. I never get any 222 00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:29,640 Speaker 1: good breaks. It's not going to happen with that attitude. 223 00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:32,920 Speaker 1: You cannot think thoughts of defeat and lick all day 224 00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:37,400 Speaker 1: and expect to have abundance. You can't talk mediocrity and 225 00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:42,480 Speaker 1: expect to have victory. You are prophesying your future. If 226 00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:45,040 Speaker 1: you want to see this shift occur in your own life, 227 00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:47,960 Speaker 1: you've got to get in agreement and say, yes, God, 228 00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:51,280 Speaker 1: this is for me. I believe you've lined up the 229 00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:55,320 Speaker 1: right people. I know they're already in my future. I 230 00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:57,840 Speaker 1: just want to thank you that I'll accomplish my dreams 231 00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:01,480 Speaker 1: sooner than I think. In the natural, it may not 232 00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:06,079 Speaker 1: look like it, but remember we serve a supernatural God. 233 00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:10,679 Speaker 1: He's about to release floods of his favor, floods of healing, 234 00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:14,600 Speaker 1: floods of good breaks. Take the limits off of God. 235 00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:17,520 Speaker 1: Don't think of all the reason this is not going 236 00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:21,520 Speaker 1: to work. God wouldn't have given you the dream unless 237 00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:23,600 Speaker 1: he already had a way to bring it to pass. 238 00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:27,280 Speaker 1: If you will stay in faith like the Lackeys, it 239 00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:30,360 Speaker 1: will not only happen sooner than you think, it'll be 240 00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:33,600 Speaker 1: bigger than you imagine. That's the way our God is 241 00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:38,280 Speaker 1: he likes to do exceedingly abundantly above and beyond. I 242 00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:40,760 Speaker 1: read about a certain kind of plant, it's called the 243 00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:45,680 Speaker 1: Chinese bamboo. For the first four years, it barely grows 244 00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:49,880 Speaker 1: above ground. You hardly see anything happening, even though you 245 00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:53,520 Speaker 1: water it, fertilize it, make sure it's getting sunlight. It 246 00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:57,200 Speaker 1: looks like you're wasting your time. But what you can't 247 00:14:57,240 --> 00:15:02,040 Speaker 1: see is under the ground. It's a massive roots system. 248 00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:06,280 Speaker 1: The roots are spreading out in every possible direction. In 249 00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:10,440 Speaker 1: the fifth year, once the roots are properly established, the 250 00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:13,680 Speaker 1: plant will take off and shoot up to as high 251 00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:17,800 Speaker 1: as eighty feet in the air, from zero to eighty 252 00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:21,960 Speaker 1: feet all in one year. Many of you, like Jerry 253 00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:26,000 Speaker 1: and Jana, you've been faithful. You've given, you've served, you've 254 00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:29,640 Speaker 1: helped others. You've sown a lot of seeds, but you 255 00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:33,080 Speaker 1: haven't seen a lot of progress. Yes, God's been good 256 00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:37,120 Speaker 1: to you. You're grateful, but nothing really out of the ordinary. 257 00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:41,640 Speaker 1: That was the equivalent of your four years of developing roots. 258 00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:44,720 Speaker 1: You were proving to God that you would be faithful. 259 00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:47,080 Speaker 1: You were proving you would do the right thing when 260 00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:49,960 Speaker 1: it was hard. Now you need to get ready God 261 00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:53,360 Speaker 1: is saying, you're coming into your fifth year. You're going 262 00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:56,840 Speaker 1: to see explosive growth that will take you to levels 263 00:15:56,960 --> 00:16:03,640 Speaker 1: beyond your income, beyond your training, beyond your experience. In 264 00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:08,000 Speaker 1: this fifth year, good breaks will find you, the right 265 00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:11,560 Speaker 1: people will search you out, Opportunity will come knocking on 266 00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:16,240 Speaker 1: your door. The fifth year is harvest time, is favor time. 267 00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:19,640 Speaker 1: You're going to reap from all the seeds that you've 268 00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:23,880 Speaker 1: sown down through the years. Nothing you've ever given has 269 00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:28,920 Speaker 1: gone unnoticed, every sacrifice you've made, every time you stop 270 00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:33,120 Speaker 1: to help someone. God sees that. The scripture talks about 271 00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:37,600 Speaker 1: how God will reward us in this life, not just 272 00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:41,240 Speaker 1: the sweet by and by. Because you've been faithful. There 273 00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:45,640 Speaker 1: is a harvest stored up like the lackeys. God is 274 00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:49,000 Speaker 1: about to release everything that belongs to you. It's going 275 00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:51,480 Speaker 1: to happen sooner than you think. It's going to be 276 00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:54,480 Speaker 1: bigger than you imagine. God is going to bring out 277 00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:57,360 Speaker 1: gifts and talents you didn't even know you had. He's 278 00:16:57,400 --> 00:17:00,960 Speaker 1: going to open up new doors of opportunity. This fifth 279 00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:03,400 Speaker 1: year is when God is going to shoot you up 280 00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:06,879 Speaker 1: higher than you ever even dreamed of. A Lady in 281 00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:10,760 Speaker 1: the scripture named Ruth experienced this fifth year. She was 282 00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:13,600 Speaker 1: living in a foreign country taking care of her mother 283 00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:18,200 Speaker 1: in law, Naomi. They were both widows. They were very poor. 284 00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:22,000 Speaker 1: They didn't have any income. Ruth would go out into 285 00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:25,879 Speaker 1: the fields early every morning and gather up the leftover 286 00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:29,400 Speaker 1: wheat that the workers had missed. That's how they were 287 00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:33,160 Speaker 1: living off of leftovers, day after day, month after month. 288 00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:36,480 Speaker 1: Ruth was very faithful. She could have gone back to 289 00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:39,880 Speaker 1: her hometown and done her own thing, but she didn't 290 00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:42,600 Speaker 1: want to leave Naomi, her mother in law. An older 291 00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:48,080 Speaker 1: woman by herself, she sowed these seeds of kindness and generosity. 292 00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:50,919 Speaker 1: It looked like this was her lot in life, to 293 00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:54,680 Speaker 1: struggle to barely get by, to live off of the leftovers. 294 00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:59,360 Speaker 1: But one day, a man named Boaz he owned all 295 00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:03,720 Speaker 1: those feels, the wealthiest man in the area, He noticed Ruth. 296 00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:08,480 Speaker 1: He told his workers to leave handfuls of wheat on 297 00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:12,280 Speaker 1: purpose for Ruth to make it easier on her. Ruth 298 00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:15,280 Speaker 1: was very grateful, she didn't have to work so hard. 299 00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:19,720 Speaker 1: She kept being her best kept honoring God. She came 300 00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:23,919 Speaker 1: in to her fifth year. Boaz He ended up falling 301 00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:28,200 Speaker 1: in love with Ruth and they got married. Now instead 302 00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:31,720 Speaker 1: of working in the field, Ruth owned the field. She 303 00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:35,720 Speaker 1: didn't have to pick up leftovers. Ever, again, God took 304 00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:41,080 Speaker 1: her further faster. What I love about this story is 305 00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:45,119 Speaker 1: it shows us the heart of God. Ruth was satisfied 306 00:18:45,600 --> 00:18:48,960 Speaker 1: living off of leftovers. She was content her needs were 307 00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:54,000 Speaker 1: being supplied, but God wasn't satisfied. That was fine for 308 00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:58,120 Speaker 1: a season time of testing and proving for Ruth, but 309 00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:01,520 Speaker 1: God did not want that to be permit. God didn't 310 00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:05,840 Speaker 1: want Ruth to spend her life gathering up leftovers working 311 00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:09,040 Speaker 1: in the field. God wanted her to own that field. 312 00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:13,080 Speaker 1: And friends, God's dream for your life is much bigger 313 00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:19,120 Speaker 1: than your own. Don't get satisfied just having your needs supplied. Yes, 314 00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:23,119 Speaker 1: be grateful, but God has so much more in store. 315 00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:27,480 Speaker 1: He wants you to come into overflow, into abundance, to 316 00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:30,360 Speaker 1: where you can be a greater blessing wherever you go. 317 00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:34,680 Speaker 1: You may be working for that company, but God knows 318 00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:38,120 Speaker 1: how to shift things to where you own your own company. 319 00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:42,120 Speaker 1: God does not want you to spend your life cleaning 320 00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:46,119 Speaker 1: that office. God wants you to be running that office. 321 00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:48,560 Speaker 1: You may be teaching at that school and that's great, 322 00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:52,479 Speaker 1: but don't be surprised if you end up running that school. 323 00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:55,119 Speaker 1: You may be working behind the scenes like I was 324 00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:58,080 Speaker 1: for seventeen years. But then you come into your fifth 325 00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:01,840 Speaker 1: year and you see explodeosive growth and God takes your 326 00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:05,480 Speaker 1: places that you've never even dreamed. God, what am I saying? 327 00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:09,000 Speaker 1: Make room for God to do something big in this 328 00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:14,119 Speaker 1: new year. Go out every day with this expectancy. God 329 00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:17,320 Speaker 1: is working in my life right now. Lord, I just 330 00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:22,320 Speaker 1: want to thank you for explosive blessings, for divine connections, 331 00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:26,240 Speaker 1: for unprecedented favor. That's what a man in the scripture 332 00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:29,760 Speaker 1: did by the name of Nehemiah. He had a dream 333 00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:33,960 Speaker 1: to rebuild the walls of Jerusalem. In the natural it 334 00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:38,240 Speaker 1: was impossible. He was living a thousand miles away, working 335 00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:42,040 Speaker 1: as a cupbearer for the king. He didn't have the money, 336 00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:46,639 Speaker 1: the position, the resources on paper. He didn't have a chance. 337 00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:51,640 Speaker 1: But Neamiah knew that God's favor was on him. He 338 00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:54,320 Speaker 1: asked this king for permission to take a leave of 339 00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:58,879 Speaker 1: absence to go and rebuild that wall. Notice his boldness. 340 00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:03,159 Speaker 1: He wasn't a high level cabinet member, he wasn't a 341 00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:07,240 Speaker 1: senior advisor in the administration. He was working in the kitchen, 342 00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:11,400 Speaker 1: cooking food, cleaning the tables. He could have thought, who 343 00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:14,600 Speaker 1: am I? I could never do something big. I don't 344 00:21:14,600 --> 00:21:16,640 Speaker 1: have the influence, I don't have the money, I don't 345 00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:20,600 Speaker 1: know the right people. No, Niami two verse eight shows 346 00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:24,280 Speaker 1: us his attitude. He said, the King granted me this 347 00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:28,399 Speaker 1: request because the gracious hand of God was upon me. 348 00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:31,480 Speaker 1: He was saying, it may not look like it in 349 00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:35,119 Speaker 1: the natural, but I have a secret weapon, something that 350 00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:39,359 Speaker 1: you cannot see. The favor of God is on my life. 351 00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:42,960 Speaker 1: Niami went out and started rebuilding the wall. He had 352 00:21:43,040 --> 00:21:47,080 Speaker 1: all kinds of opposition. City leaders wouldn't give him a permit. 353 00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:50,760 Speaker 1: Critics tried to stop him. Bandits came up, and he 354 00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:53,919 Speaker 1: had to fight them off one thing after another. He 355 00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:56,880 Speaker 1: just kept being his best, doing what God called him 356 00:21:56,880 --> 00:22:00,240 Speaker 1: to do. That should have taken him years and years. 357 00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:04,000 Speaker 1: But Neamiah rebuilt that wall in just fifty two days. 358 00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:09,640 Speaker 1: What was that? God taken him further faster. God had 359 00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:13,080 Speaker 1: it all lined up. God gave him favor with the king. 360 00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:18,320 Speaker 1: God arranged the right people, the resources, the protection. Should 361 00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:20,840 Speaker 1: have taken years. That wall had been down for a 362 00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:24,359 Speaker 1: long time. Should have taken him his whole lifetime, but 363 00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:27,000 Speaker 1: with God's help, he did it in fifty two days. 364 00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:31,960 Speaker 1: Now your dream may seem too big. Think, oh man Joel, 365 00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:35,800 Speaker 1: I've waited too long. I've missed too many opportunities. I 366 00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:39,960 Speaker 1: don't have the resources the connections. Know. Just like with Nehemiah, 367 00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:44,320 Speaker 1: God has it all figured out because you've honored him. 368 00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:48,000 Speaker 1: God is saying, I'm bringing you into your fifth year. 369 00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:51,400 Speaker 1: I'm gonna connect you to the right people. I'm gonna 370 00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:54,359 Speaker 1: give you breaks that you didn't deserve. I'm gonna open 371 00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:57,359 Speaker 1: doors that you weren't qualified for. I'm gonna give you 372 00:22:57,520 --> 00:23:01,680 Speaker 1: wisdom beyond your years. God. God is going to accelerate 373 00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:05,240 Speaker 1: his plan for your life. You could be going along 374 00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:08,639 Speaker 1: normal pace, been that way for years and years, but 375 00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:13,400 Speaker 1: now you've hit this shift. Get ready for acceleration. Get 376 00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:15,920 Speaker 1: ready for new doors to open, Get ready for the 377 00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:19,000 Speaker 1: right people to show up at your doorstep. Have this 378 00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:25,640 Speaker 1: attitude of expectancy further faster. Now here's the key. There 379 00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:30,200 Speaker 1: will always be opposition to you moving forward. When Nehemiah 380 00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:32,760 Speaker 1: came into his fifth year, the opponents came out of 381 00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:37,800 Speaker 1: the woodwork. Everything tried to stop him. Don't be discouraged 382 00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:41,480 Speaker 1: by the opposition. That's a sign that God has shifted 383 00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:45,800 Speaker 1: things now the enemy. He don't want you to move forward. 384 00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:49,400 Speaker 1: As long as you're complacent, stay where you are, that's 385 00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:52,920 Speaker 1: no problem. But when you start taking new ground, when 386 00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:56,240 Speaker 1: you start praying God sized prayers, when you know God 387 00:23:56,280 --> 00:23:59,280 Speaker 1: has shifted things in your favor, don't be surprised if 388 00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:03,399 Speaker 1: you have opposite. All that means is you are close 389 00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:07,800 Speaker 1: to your victory. You are close to seeing these explosive blessings. 390 00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:11,560 Speaker 1: Have a good friend. It's been in a legal situation 391 00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:15,920 Speaker 1: for the last year. It's been very heavy on her heart. 392 00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:18,359 Speaker 1: She was told that it could take ten years to 393 00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:21,639 Speaker 1: resolve her opponents. They could drag it out just to 394 00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:24,440 Speaker 1: make her life miserable. And at one time she was 395 00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:28,600 Speaker 1: a very upbeat, fun person to be around. That after 396 00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:32,760 Speaker 1: months and months of waiting and setbacks and pressure, it's 397 00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:36,560 Speaker 1: like she was a different person. No joy, no peace, 398 00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:40,080 Speaker 1: no victory, very solemn, very serious. It looked like there 399 00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:43,159 Speaker 1: could be years and years of this stress and frustration. 400 00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:47,239 Speaker 1: But just last week she got the good news that 401 00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:51,440 Speaker 1: the case was totally resolved, all in her favor. Everything 402 00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:54,359 Speaker 1: was cleared up. She said, Joel, I can't even tell 403 00:24:54,480 --> 00:24:58,040 Speaker 1: you what a load. This is being lifted off of me. 404 00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:02,680 Speaker 1: What happened He came into her fifth year. What could 405 00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:05,840 Speaker 1: have taken ten years, even twenty years, God did in 406 00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:09,920 Speaker 1: less than a year, just like with her. Because you've 407 00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:14,080 Speaker 1: been faithful, problems you've struggled with for years are going 408 00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:18,800 Speaker 1: to suddenly resolve, unexpectedly turn around. God is going to 409 00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:22,119 Speaker 1: cause things to fall into place. The right people are 410 00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:26,439 Speaker 1: going to show up. You need to get ready for acceleration. Friends. 411 00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:31,360 Speaker 1: God has shifted you into a higher gear. He's enlarging 412 00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:35,960 Speaker 1: your capacity. You're going to accomplish more in less time. 413 00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:39,760 Speaker 1: You're going to go further putting forth the same amount 414 00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:43,280 Speaker 1: of effort. What is that You've come into your fifth year. 415 00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:47,879 Speaker 1: God is accelerating his plan for your life. Let me 416 00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:51,000 Speaker 1: declare it. It's not going to take a lifetime for 417 00:25:51,080 --> 00:25:53,679 Speaker 1: you to accomplish your dreams. It's going to happen in 418 00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:56,320 Speaker 1: a fraction of the time. It's not going to take 419 00:25:56,359 --> 00:25:59,560 Speaker 1: you thirty years to get out of debt. Supernatural increase 420 00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:02,119 Speaker 1: is coming your way. It's not going to take you 421 00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:05,840 Speaker 1: years to work your way up in that company. Explosive 422 00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:09,000 Speaker 1: growth is in your future. It's not going to take 423 00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:12,919 Speaker 1: years to overcome that addiction, to break that bad habit, 424 00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:15,600 Speaker 1: to get healthy again. It's going to happen sooner than 425 00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:19,359 Speaker 1: you think. Now, do your part. Stay in agreement with God. 426 00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:21,840 Speaker 1: Get up every morning, say Lord, I want to thank 427 00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:25,960 Speaker 1: you that you're taking me further faster, and then go 428 00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:28,960 Speaker 1: out each day with that expectancy that God is at 429 00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:31,560 Speaker 1: work in my life right now. If you do this, 430 00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:36,120 Speaker 1: I believe and declare, like Jerry and Jenna Lackey, You're 431 00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:39,439 Speaker 1: going to see divine connections. The right people come across 432 00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:42,520 Speaker 1: your path. Like us in the building, what should have 433 00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:46,159 Speaker 1: taken sixty years, God's going to accelerate to a few years. 434 00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:49,600 Speaker 1: And like Ruth, instead of working in the field, you're 435 00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:51,760 Speaker 1: going to end up owning the field. God's going to 436 00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:56,679 Speaker 1: do exceedingly, abundantly above and beyond further faster. Come on, 437 00:26:56,760 --> 00:27:01,720 Speaker 1: give the Lord a shout of praise today. We never 438 00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:04,800 Speaker 1: like to close our broadcast without giving you an opportunity 439 00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:07,679 Speaker 1: to make Jesus the lord of your life. Would you 440 00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:12,080 Speaker 1: pray with me? Just say Lord, Jesus, I'll repent of 441 00:27:12,119 --> 00:27:16,639 Speaker 1: my sins. Come into my heart. I make you my 442 00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:20,719 Speaker 1: Lord and savior. Friends, if you pray that simple prayer. 443 00:27:20,800 --> 00:27:23,160 Speaker 1: We believe you got born again.

Even your prayers don't feel like 448 00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:38,560 Speaker 2: they are making it to heaven. But God is listening 449 00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:42,240 Speaker 2: and his light is about to shine. 450 00:27:42,440 --> 00:27:45,159 Speaker 1: We know God is all powerful that he can answer 451 00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:48,399 Speaker 1: any prayer, but sometimes we don't know what to pray. 452 00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:52,920 Speaker 1: We don't think we deserve God's goodness. Maybe we're inconveniencing him, 453 00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:55,960 Speaker 1: or he has more important things to deal with.
