1 00:00:00,920 --> 00:00:02,480 Speaker 1: Hi, this is Jolan Victoria. 2 00:00:02,759 --> 00:00:05,560 Speaker 2: Thanks so much for listening to the podcast and thanks 3 00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:08,360 Speaker 2: for supporting the ministry. We believe you're going to have 4 00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:12,760 Speaker 2: an awesome twenty twenty four, healthy, productive, and favor filled. 5 00:00:13,039 --> 00:00:16,040 Speaker 1: God bless you today and enjoy the message. Oh, God 6 00:00:16,079 --> 00:00:16,640 Speaker 1: bless you. 7 00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:19,480 Speaker 2: It's great to be with you today, and I hope 8 00:00:19,480 --> 00:00:21,920 Speaker 2: you'll stay connected with us during the week through our 9 00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:24,840 Speaker 2: daily podcast, our YouTube channel. 10 00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:27,960 Speaker 1: Social media. We'll keep you encouraged and inspired. 11 00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:30,920 Speaker 2: But I like to start with something funny and one 12 00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:33,559 Speaker 2: day up in heaven, God said to the men, I 13 00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:36,559 Speaker 2: want you to form two lines. One line is for 14 00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:39,320 Speaker 2: the men who were the head of the house. The 15 00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:41,880 Speaker 2: other line is for the men who let the woman 16 00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:44,559 Speaker 2: be the head of the house. The line where the 17 00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:47,360 Speaker 2: woman ran the house was one hundred miles long. The 18 00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:49,360 Speaker 2: other line only had one man in it. 19 00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:51,680 Speaker 1: God said, men, I'm ashamed of you. 20 00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:54,680 Speaker 2: I created you to be the head, but only one 21 00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:57,440 Speaker 2: man stood up to make me proud. He looked at 22 00:00:57,440 --> 00:01:00,000 Speaker 2: the man, said, son, tell them, how did you manage 23 00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:02,640 Speaker 2: it to be the only one in this line. The 24 00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:05,160 Speaker 2: man looked confused and said, I don't know. My wife 25 00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:08,600 Speaker 2: told me to send here. Say it like you mean it. 26 00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:12,000 Speaker 2: This is my Bible. I am what it says I am. 27 00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:14,880 Speaker 2: I have what it says I have. I can do 28 00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:17,600 Speaker 2: what it says I can do. Today I will be 29 00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:21,679 Speaker 2: taught the word of God. I boldly confess. My mind 30 00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:25,120 Speaker 2: is alert, my heart is recepted. I will never be 31 00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:30,160 Speaker 2: the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you. I want 32 00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:33,679 Speaker 2: to talk to you today about seeing beyond the logical. 33 00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:37,640 Speaker 2: On the way to your destiny, you will face dreams 34 00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:41,240 Speaker 2: that you can't accomplish on your own, obstacles that are 35 00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:44,160 Speaker 2: too big for you, people that come against you that 36 00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:47,319 Speaker 2: are more powerful. When you look at the situation in 37 00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:50,240 Speaker 2: the natural and you reason it out, there's no way. 38 00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:54,559 Speaker 2: The medical report says you can't get well. You don't 39 00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:57,640 Speaker 2: have the funding for your dreams. You've had the addiction 40 00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:01,280 Speaker 2: for years. You tried, but you couldn't break. All of 41 00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:04,400 Speaker 2: your logic says just acceptance. It's not meant to be. 42 00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:08,399 Speaker 2: But this is what faith is all about. God will 43 00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:11,239 Speaker 2: put you in situations on purpose where. 44 00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:14,720 Speaker 1: There is no solution in the natural. That's a test. 45 00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:17,519 Speaker 2: Are you going to get discouraged and give up on 46 00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:20,639 Speaker 2: your dreams or are you going to walk by faith 47 00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:24,640 Speaker 2: and not by sight. Jesus said to Peter in Matthew 48 00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:28,960 Speaker 2: chapter sixteen, you are a dangerous trap to me, for 49 00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:32,639 Speaker 2: you are seeing things only from a human point of view. 50 00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:33,840 Speaker 1: And not from God's. 51 00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:38,560 Speaker 2: It's significant that he used such a strong word, he said, Peter, 52 00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:42,320 Speaker 2: it's dangerous to look at it only from the logical. 53 00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:45,400 Speaker 2: He could have said, Peter, you need to have more faith, 54 00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:47,680 Speaker 2: You need to think better, be. 55 00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:48,840 Speaker 1: A little more positive. 56 00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:52,520 Speaker 2: The reason he said dangerous is you can miss your 57 00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:56,600 Speaker 2: destiny if you only look at things from a natural perspective. 58 00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:01,120 Speaker 2: God is supernatural when you get it in agreement with him, 59 00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:04,320 Speaker 2: there is a force behind you that will make things 60 00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:08,200 Speaker 2: happen that you can't make happen. He will open doors 61 00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:11,720 Speaker 2: that no person can shut. He will do what medicine 62 00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:15,200 Speaker 2: cannot do. You will defeat giants that are much bigger. 63 00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:19,040 Speaker 2: You're not doing life on your own. The Most High 64 00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:19,840 Speaker 2: God is. 65 00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:24,600 Speaker 1: Breathing in your direction. All he needs is a little faith. God, 66 00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:25,600 Speaker 1: I don't see away. 67 00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:29,240 Speaker 2: My reasoning says it's not going to happen, but I 68 00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:32,520 Speaker 2: know you have a way. I don't have the funding 69 00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:35,360 Speaker 2: for my dreams, but God, I know you own it all. 70 00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:36,960 Speaker 1: My child is off. 71 00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:39,880 Speaker 2: Course, it doesn't look good, but I believe as for 72 00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:43,520 Speaker 2: me and my house, we will serve the Lord. Don't 73 00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:47,960 Speaker 2: be limited by your logic. Logic can be a dream stealer. 74 00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:51,320 Speaker 2: If you look at your situation only from a human 75 00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:55,560 Speaker 2: point of view, what you can do, your resources, your connections, 76 00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:57,400 Speaker 2: your experience, then you're. 77 00:03:57,280 --> 00:03:59,400 Speaker 1: Going to miss the greatness God put in you. 78 00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:03,320 Speaker 2: The Book of Genesis tells about how God created the 79 00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:06,440 Speaker 2: heavens and the earth. On the first day, he said, 80 00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:09,600 Speaker 2: let there be light, and light came. The second day, 81 00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:13,120 Speaker 2: he separated the waters from the sky. Third day he 82 00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:17,120 Speaker 2: created plants and trees. The fourth day he made the 83 00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:21,080 Speaker 2: sun and the moon. What's interesting is there was light 84 00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:24,520 Speaker 2: on the first day, but he didn't make the sun until. 85 00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:27,760 Speaker 1: The fourth day. How can you have light without the sun? 86 00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:33,360 Speaker 2: God was showing us he's not logical, he's supernatural. He's 87 00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:36,640 Speaker 2: going to do things in your life that are unexplainable, 88 00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:40,440 Speaker 2: things that don't make sense. How could my mother be 89 00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:44,919 Speaker 2: alive forty one years after being diagnosed with terminal cancer. 90 00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:49,039 Speaker 2: That's not logical. That divides the odds. That's the God 91 00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:52,599 Speaker 2: we serve. How could I be up here today? I 92 00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:56,320 Speaker 2: didn't have the training, the experience. I've never been to seminary. 93 00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:59,400 Speaker 1: But God doesn't choose the way we choose. 94 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:05,120 Speaker 2: He does things that are uncommon, unusual, out of the ordinary. 95 00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:08,320 Speaker 2: How could we be having church in the former Compact 96 00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:12,599 Speaker 2: Center a basketball arena. The company that was against us 97 00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:17,200 Speaker 2: trying to get the facility was the largest taxpayer in Texas, 98 00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:19,120 Speaker 2: a huge real estate company. 99 00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:21,480 Speaker 1: It was David versus Goliath. 100 00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:25,400 Speaker 2: They had more connections, more funds, more experience. 101 00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:29,920 Speaker 1: But God is not intimidated by the size of your problem. 102 00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:34,720 Speaker 2: He's not losing sleep over who's against you. One angel 103 00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:38,120 Speaker 2: in the Old Testament defeated one hundred and eighty. 104 00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:40,280 Speaker 1: Five thousand of the enemies of Israel's. 105 00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:43,760 Speaker 2: God being for you is more than the world being 106 00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:47,400 Speaker 2: against you. You may have some big obstacles, but you 107 00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:51,960 Speaker 2: have to remind yourself we serve a big God. Sometimes 108 00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:55,120 Speaker 2: he'll let the odds be against you on purpose, so 109 00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:58,160 Speaker 2: when he turns it around, it will be a bigger miracle. 110 00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:02,400 Speaker 2: When we were trying to acquire the Compact Center, a 111 00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:06,160 Speaker 2: very influential business leader in our city was at a 112 00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:07,840 Speaker 2: banquet with a good friend of mine. 113 00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:09,960 Speaker 1: But he didn't know my friend knew me. 114 00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:13,600 Speaker 2: He laughed and said, very sarcastically, it will be a 115 00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:17,200 Speaker 2: cold day in hell before Lakewood gets the Compact Center. 116 00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:20,800 Speaker 2: Every time I drive up to our building and see 117 00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:23,839 Speaker 2: that Lakewood sign, I think it must be a cold 118 00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:28,440 Speaker 2: day in hell, because here we are. The promise is 119 00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:31,640 Speaker 2: God put in your heart. What He's whispered to you 120 00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:33,840 Speaker 2: in the night. May not seem possible. 121 00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:37,200 Speaker 1: It's too big, it's never happened for your family. You 122 00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:38,440 Speaker 1: don't have the experience. 123 00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:43,360 Speaker 2: All your logic says, there's no way. That's okay, Jesus 124 00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:48,640 Speaker 2: said in Matthew nineteen. Humanly speaking, it is impossible. But 125 00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:50,880 Speaker 2: with God, all things are possible. 126 00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:52,440 Speaker 1: Here's the question. 127 00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:56,160 Speaker 2: Are you going to let your human reasoning, what you 128 00:06:56,240 --> 00:07:00,560 Speaker 2: can see, what's natural, set the limits for your life, 129 00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:03,880 Speaker 2: or are you going to see beyond the logical? Are 130 00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:07,520 Speaker 2: you going to believe that the all powerful creator of 131 00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:11,360 Speaker 2: the universe, the God who flung stars into space, the 132 00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:14,520 Speaker 2: God who parts red seas, the God who brings light 133 00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:17,480 Speaker 2: without the sun, will make a way. Will you don't 134 00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:21,240 Speaker 2: see away? I want to show you an example. I 135 00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:26,200 Speaker 2: have these Roman numerals up here, the letter I and 136 00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:31,200 Speaker 2: the letter x I in Roman numerals is one X 137 00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:31,800 Speaker 2: is ten. 138 00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:34,400 Speaker 1: When the smaller number is in. 139 00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:37,520 Speaker 2: Front of the larger number, then you subtract the smaller 140 00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:42,280 Speaker 2: so ten minus one this is nine. My question is 141 00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:45,840 Speaker 2: with one stroke of the pen, can you make this six? 142 00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:49,840 Speaker 2: If I put another I, that would be eight. You 143 00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:53,880 Speaker 2: can't put two, just one stroke. The in Roman numerals 144 00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:56,920 Speaker 2: is five. If you put that, that would make it four. 145 00:07:57,800 --> 00:07:59,120 Speaker 1: There are no more options. 146 00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:02,880 Speaker 2: How do you make this six? Here's how I'm going 147 00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:06,120 Speaker 2: to add. I'm going to add. 148 00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:10,160 Speaker 1: The s six. It fell six. 149 00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:15,000 Speaker 2: I had you think in Roman numerals you were limited 150 00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:15,800 Speaker 2: to one way. 151 00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:18,760 Speaker 1: That's the way it is with God. We look at 152 00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:19,840 Speaker 1: things in the natural. 153 00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:24,000 Speaker 2: We look at things in the natural, we don't see 154 00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:27,160 Speaker 2: a way. God steps in and says, I'm supernatural. 155 00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:30,760 Speaker 1: My ways are not your ways. We come to a 156 00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:31,480 Speaker 1: dead end. 157 00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:34,120 Speaker 2: At the Red Sea and think, okay, God, we're stuck. 158 00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:36,440 Speaker 1: We're done. God says, you're not done. 159 00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:40,080 Speaker 2: I part red seas, I bring water out of a rock, 160 00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:42,040 Speaker 2: I open glind eyes. 161 00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:46,080 Speaker 1: I make you fireproof in a furnace. Don't be limited 162 00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:50,320 Speaker 1: by your logic. God defies logic. This is what happened 163 00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:50,840 Speaker 1: with Mary. 164 00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:55,000 Speaker 2: She was a teenager living in Nazareth engaged to a 165 00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:58,959 Speaker 2: young man named Joseph. An angel peard unto her, said, Mary, 166 00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:02,440 Speaker 2: you will give birth to a son without knowing a man. 167 00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:06,280 Speaker 1: You are to name him Jesus. The scripture says Mary 168 00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:09,599 Speaker 1: was confused and disturbed. I can understand. 169 00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:13,200 Speaker 2: God just gave her a promise that seemed impossible. You 170 00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:16,080 Speaker 2: can't have a baby without a man. That defies the 171 00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:19,840 Speaker 2: laws of nature. Mary said to the angel, how can 172 00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:20,640 Speaker 2: I have a child? 173 00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:21,760 Speaker 1: I'm a virgin. 174 00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:25,760 Speaker 2: The angel said, the spirit of the Most High will 175 00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:29,520 Speaker 2: come upon you and cause you to conceive. The angel 176 00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:33,080 Speaker 2: didn't get upset because she didn't believe. He didn't say 177 00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:35,880 Speaker 2: too bad, Mary, you blew it. God promised it, but 178 00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:39,160 Speaker 2: you didn't have enough faith. He simply helped her have 179 00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:43,280 Speaker 2: a new perspective. He was saying, in effect, Mary, you're 180 00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:46,160 Speaker 2: looking at it in the natural, and you're right. It's 181 00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:49,600 Speaker 2: not possible in your own ability. It won't happen, but 182 00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:53,360 Speaker 2: the spirit of God will make it happen. I believe 183 00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:56,480 Speaker 2: God sent me like this angel to help you have. 184 00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:57,640 Speaker 1: The right perspective. 185 00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:01,640 Speaker 2: There is a force that you can't see, a power 186 00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:04,800 Speaker 2: that will cause the impossible to become possible. 187 00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:07,640 Speaker 1: Now, Mary was at a critical point. 188 00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:11,880 Speaker 2: What she did next would determine whether she'd have the baby. 189 00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:14,720 Speaker 2: She could have said to the angel, I don't think so. 190 00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:17,840 Speaker 2: You need to go back and take biology. You can't 191 00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:21,240 Speaker 2: have a baby without a man. But Mary did what 192 00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:24,480 Speaker 2: we all have to do. She looked beyond the logical. 193 00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:28,160 Speaker 2: She didn't let her human reasoning talk her out of it. 194 00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:31,720 Speaker 2: She said to the angel, be it under me, even 195 00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:34,480 Speaker 2: as you have said. She was saying, I don't see 196 00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:38,400 Speaker 2: how seems impossible, But God, I'm in agreement with you. 197 00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:42,680 Speaker 1: Let it happen. Like with Mary, God is going to 198 00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:45,240 Speaker 1: put promises in your heart that don't make sense. 199 00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:48,280 Speaker 2: It's no way you can get well, no way you 200 00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:50,880 Speaker 2: can get your business off the ground, no way you 201 00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:54,359 Speaker 2: can have the baby. You've gone through all the fertility treatments. 202 00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:57,880 Speaker 2: You've been told no again and again. You're right where 203 00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:00,920 Speaker 2: Mary was. Are you going to keep seeing it only 204 00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:03,839 Speaker 2: from a human point of view? Or are you going 205 00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:05,600 Speaker 2: to get in agreement with God. 206 00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:09,040 Speaker 1: And believe what the angel said? How can this happen? 207 00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:12,320 Speaker 2: It's not going to be your own strength, your own intellect, 208 00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:15,439 Speaker 2: your own hard work, the spirit of the Living God, 209 00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:19,360 Speaker 2: will make it happen. It's going to be supernatural, something 210 00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:20,320 Speaker 2: you can't explain. 211 00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:24,040 Speaker 1: You can't take credit for it. Everyone will know it's 212 00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:24,920 Speaker 1: the hind of God. 213 00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:28,320 Speaker 2: I talked to a man that had cancer on his 214 00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:32,240 Speaker 2: vocal cords. He was here in town for surgery at M. D. 215 00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:35,400 Speaker 2: Anderson stopped by the church and ask us to pray 216 00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:35,840 Speaker 2: for him. 217 00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:39,439 Speaker 1: The doctors were going to remove most of his vocal cords. 218 00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:42,960 Speaker 2: He was told that he would be able to make sounds, 219 00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:44,800 Speaker 2: but he wouldn't be able to talk. 220 00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:48,880 Speaker 1: From a human perspective. It didn't look good. The odds 221 00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:52,240 Speaker 1: were against him. I told him what I'm telling you. 222 00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:54,319 Speaker 1: God has the final say. 223 00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:58,320 Speaker 2: He controls the universe. When you believe, all things are possible. 224 00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:02,320 Speaker 2: Couple of weeks later, he was back at church and 225 00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:05,679 Speaker 2: he came up to me, talking just as clearly as 226 00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:06,640 Speaker 2: I'm talking to you. 227 00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:09,679 Speaker 1: I said, what happened? You didn't have the surgery. 228 00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:12,960 Speaker 2: He smiled real big and he said, yes, I had 229 00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:16,160 Speaker 2: the surgery, but I can still talk like I could before. 230 00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:20,320 Speaker 2: Ninety percent of his vocal cords were removed, and he 231 00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:21,559 Speaker 2: can still talk normally. 232 00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:23,880 Speaker 1: Doctors can't explain it. 233 00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:27,600 Speaker 2: The surgeon said, in all of his years practicing, he's 234 00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:31,800 Speaker 2: never seen or heard of this. That's God bringing light 235 00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:36,840 Speaker 2: without a son, bringing a baby without a man. Jesus 236 00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:39,960 Speaker 2: said to the Pharisees in John chapter eight, you judge 237 00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:44,240 Speaker 2: me with all your human limitations. Don't put your human 238 00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:49,319 Speaker 2: limitations on the God who spoke worlds into existence. God 239 00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:52,360 Speaker 2: is not limited by the laws of medicine, the laws 240 00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:56,040 Speaker 2: of economics, the laws of nature, the laws of science. 241 00:12:56,720 --> 00:12:59,200 Speaker 2: When he's ready to bless you, he doesn't check with 242 00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:02,040 Speaker 2: your boss. He doesn't look at your four one K. 243 00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:05,920 Speaker 2: He doesn't google the stock market report. He doesn't see 244 00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:08,840 Speaker 2: what friends you have, what family you come from. 245 00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:12,240 Speaker 1: He's not moved by the natural. He's supernatural. 246 00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:16,520 Speaker 2: When the Israelites were in the desert, they complained to 247 00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:19,360 Speaker 2: Moses that they didn't have any meat to eat. They 248 00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:22,480 Speaker 2: were tired of eating the mana every day. So Moses 249 00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:25,079 Speaker 2: went to God and said, God, these people won't meat. 250 00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:27,760 Speaker 2: You know, I can't get that out in the desert. 251 00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:31,040 Speaker 2: God said, in affect Moses, that's no problem for me. 252 00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:35,320 Speaker 2: I'll give you meat for a whole month. Moses said, God, 253 00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:38,920 Speaker 2: that's impossible. Do you see where we are if we 254 00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:42,160 Speaker 2: butchered all of our flocks, all of our herds. We 255 00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:45,400 Speaker 2: wouldn't have enough meat for these two million people, even 256 00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:48,920 Speaker 2: for one meal. There were no grocery stores out there 257 00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:53,880 Speaker 2: where they could buy food, No uber eats, no dominoes deliveries. 258 00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:59,920 Speaker 2: From a logical perspective, Moses was right. But God defies logic. 259 00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:03,880 Speaker 2: He's not limited by what limits us. One touch of 260 00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:09,200 Speaker 2: his favor and the impossible becomes possible. God shifted the 261 00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:13,959 Speaker 2: winds and millions of quell flew into their camp. They 262 00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:16,960 Speaker 2: were three or four feet off the ground. People grabbed 263 00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:20,880 Speaker 2: all they wanted. For a month, they had state dinners 264 00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:24,520 Speaker 2: out in the middle of the desert. What's significant is 265 00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:28,440 Speaker 2: quall don't normally fly that far away from water. You'd 266 00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:30,800 Speaker 2: never find a quaill in the middle of the desert. 267 00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:35,040 Speaker 2: But God controls the universe. If you'll take the limits 268 00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:37,840 Speaker 2: off of him, he'll cause opportunity to find you. 269 00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:41,600 Speaker 1: Good breaks will chase you down. The right people will 270 00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:42,800 Speaker 1: come knocking at your door. 271 00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:46,680 Speaker 2: Now, don't do like Moses and tell God all the reasons. 272 00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:49,960 Speaker 2: You can't be blessed, you can't get well, you can't 273 00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:54,880 Speaker 2: accomplish your dream. You're studying the facts, the circumstances. What 274 00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:59,560 Speaker 2: people say, what normally happens. The problem is you'll being 275 00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:03,280 Speaker 2: limited by your logic. You're seeing it only from a 276 00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:07,560 Speaker 2: human point of view. God says, that's dangerous. You can 277 00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:10,880 Speaker 2: miss your quell, you can miss your compact center, you 278 00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:11,960 Speaker 2: can miss your healing. 279 00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:15,280 Speaker 1: Have a new perspective. God, I'm in the desert. 280 00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:19,120 Speaker 2: It seems impossible to me, but I know you can 281 00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:22,800 Speaker 2: do the impossible. You make rivers in the desert. You 282 00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:27,240 Speaker 2: turn shepherds into kings. You bring babies out of barren wounds. 283 00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:31,160 Speaker 2: You open doors that are dead bolted. The scripture says, 284 00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:34,760 Speaker 2: is there anything too hard for the Lord? I was 285 00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:37,320 Speaker 2: out riding my bike the other day down this long 286 00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:40,560 Speaker 2: path toward downtown. I saw a young man on a 287 00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:42,760 Speaker 2: skateboard a couple hundred yards in. 288 00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:43,120 Speaker 1: Front of me. 289 00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:46,440 Speaker 2: I wrote about five minutes and noticed that I wasn't 290 00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:49,480 Speaker 2: gaining on him. Now, I thought, that's strange. I'm on 291 00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:53,560 Speaker 2: this large bike with big wheels. I'm peddling fast. 292 00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:54,680 Speaker 1: He's on that. 293 00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:58,200 Speaker 2: Little skateboard with little three inch wheels. Yet he's out 294 00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:02,280 Speaker 2: pacing me. We were both going up this large hill. 295 00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:07,120 Speaker 2: He was just scooting along, no problem. I was huffing, puffing, 296 00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:09,440 Speaker 2: trying to get up the hill. He was doing it 297 00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:12,760 Speaker 2: with such ease. Didn't make sense to me. We went 298 00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:16,760 Speaker 2: our separate ways. About thirty minutes, I saw him sitting 299 00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:20,200 Speaker 2: on a park bench. He had his skateboard turned over 300 00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:23,840 Speaker 2: to the side. What I didn't realize is his skateboard 301 00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:24,960 Speaker 2: had a motor on it. 302 00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:28,160 Speaker 1: He had the remote control in his hand. 303 00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:32,840 Speaker 2: The reason he was going faster, further with less effort 304 00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:34,600 Speaker 2: is he had an advantage. 305 00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:36,800 Speaker 1: He had something that I couldn't see. 306 00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:40,480 Speaker 2: In the same way as a child of the most hie, 307 00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:44,840 Speaker 2: you have an advantage. There is a force breathing in 308 00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:49,000 Speaker 2: your direction that's going to cause you to defy the odds. 309 00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:54,400 Speaker 2: You're going to go further, faster with less struggle. People 310 00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:56,320 Speaker 2: are going to look at you and not understand it. 311 00:16:56,760 --> 00:16:58,800 Speaker 2: I think, how could you get out of that neighborhood? 312 00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:02,200 Speaker 2: I saw how you were. They're looking at it from 313 00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:05,439 Speaker 2: a human point of view. What they can't see is 314 00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:09,240 Speaker 2: you have a motor and anointing, a favor of blessing 315 00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:10,320 Speaker 2: on your life. 316 00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:13,160 Speaker 1: How could you lead your company in sales? 317 00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:17,879 Speaker 2: You don't have the experience. Logically speaking, they're correct, but 318 00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:20,360 Speaker 2: God is going to do in your life is going 319 00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:24,359 Speaker 2: to defy the logic. How could you beat that sickness? 320 00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:28,000 Speaker 2: The medical report says no way. Yes, but there's another 321 00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:32,360 Speaker 2: report you can't see. Jehovah Raphah, the Lord, my healer, 322 00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:36,960 Speaker 2: is breathing on my life. Don't judge your future by 323 00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:40,520 Speaker 2: your human limitations. What God is about to do in 324 00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:43,880 Speaker 2: your life is going to amaze you. The doors he's 325 00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:46,920 Speaker 2: about to open, the influence. He's going to give you 326 00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:53,520 Speaker 2: the resources, the ideas, the creativity, the divine connections. Now, 327 00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:56,439 Speaker 2: the enemy would love to keep you stuck with a 328 00:17:56,480 --> 00:18:00,760 Speaker 2: limited mindset. Focus only on the logical. Joel, I don't 329 00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:04,240 Speaker 2: have the funds. My back's been hurting for years, my 330 00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:07,919 Speaker 2: child's acting up, my boss doesn't treat me right. I 331 00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:11,320 Speaker 2: don't come from an influential family. Do you think that 332 00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:14,800 Speaker 2: can stop your destiny? That the God who breathed life 333 00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:18,120 Speaker 2: into you, who chose you before you could choose him, 334 00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:21,480 Speaker 2: is somehow at a loss of how to bring you. 335 00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:22,280 Speaker 1: Into your purpose? 336 00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:26,280 Speaker 2: Or could it be that you're seeing things only from 337 00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:30,400 Speaker 2: a human perspective. My prayer is, God, open our eyes, 338 00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:33,439 Speaker 2: help us to see what you see, not just a 339 00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:37,439 Speaker 2: logical point of view, but a heavenly perspective help us 340 00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:40,439 Speaker 2: to realize that you were all powerful, that you were 341 00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:41,920 Speaker 2: in control, that. 342 00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:44,920 Speaker 1: You were for us. Acts, Chapter twenty seven. 343 00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:48,080 Speaker 2: The Apostle Paul had been on a boat headed to 344 00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:49,760 Speaker 2: Rome for fourteen days. 345 00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:51,199 Speaker 1: When it was shipwrecked. 346 00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:54,600 Speaker 2: They all swam to the shore on this small island. 347 00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:57,400 Speaker 2: Paul went over to pick up some sticks to make 348 00:18:57,440 --> 00:19:01,960 Speaker 2: a fire. A poisonous snake bit his wrist latched on 349 00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:06,040 Speaker 2: wouldn't let go. The teeth were penetrating the skin, the 350 00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:10,160 Speaker 2: venom going in. The natives on the island knew exactly 351 00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:11,200 Speaker 2: what was going to happen. 352 00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:13,560 Speaker 1: They had seen it time and time again. 353 00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:17,880 Speaker 2: When someone was bitten, the scripture says, they would swell up, 354 00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:19,480 Speaker 2: get sick, and die. 355 00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:23,280 Speaker 1: The natives waited and waited and waited. 356 00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:28,600 Speaker 2: The problem was nobody told Paul he was supposed to die. 357 00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:31,720 Speaker 2: Sometimes what you don't know is good for you. 358 00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:36,440 Speaker 1: If you get a negative report and you overanalyze it, 359 00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:39,800 Speaker 1: you reason it out, study it all day, that's going 360 00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:41,960 Speaker 1: to take your faith. That's why the. 361 00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:46,520 Speaker 2: Scripture says, lean not to your own understanding. Take this 362 00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:49,440 Speaker 2: in the right sense, but sometimes you have to turn 363 00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:50,359 Speaker 2: your mind off. 364 00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:54,040 Speaker 1: Faith is not of the mind. Faith is of the heart. 365 00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:58,399 Speaker 2: Yes, we should use common sense make good decisions, but 366 00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:01,520 Speaker 2: don't let your logic talk you out of what God 367 00:20:01,520 --> 00:20:02,320 Speaker 2: put in your heart. 368 00:20:03,200 --> 00:20:04,680 Speaker 1: God told Paul that he. 369 00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:07,800 Speaker 2: Was going to stand before Caesar, and Paul simply shook 370 00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:10,080 Speaker 2: the snake off when about his business. 371 00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:12,040 Speaker 1: It never did affect him. 372 00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:14,960 Speaker 2: The people on the island were so amazed they thought 373 00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:17,800 Speaker 2: he was a god. But if Paul would have made 374 00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:21,639 Speaker 2: the mistake of seeing it only from a logical human 375 00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:24,439 Speaker 2: point of view, knowing that he had just been bitten 376 00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:28,120 Speaker 2: by a poisonous snake, he would have been worried, afraid, 377 00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:31,040 Speaker 2: what am I going to do? Maybe the venom would 378 00:20:31,040 --> 00:20:34,520 Speaker 2: have harmed them, Maybe he would have gotten set When 379 00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:37,199 Speaker 2: things come against you, it's easy to look at it 380 00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:38,360 Speaker 2: only in the natural. 381 00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:41,159 Speaker 1: Look at this medical report. What are we going to do? 382 00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:44,840 Speaker 2: My business had a set back, my child got in trouble. 383 00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:48,359 Speaker 2: You have to remind yourself. God is still on the throne. 384 00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:51,760 Speaker 2: Nothing can snatch you out of his hands. He wouldn't 385 00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:54,240 Speaker 2: have allowed it if he didn't already. 386 00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:54,560 Speaker 1: Have a solution. 387 00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:58,480 Speaker 2: We knew a man growing up named Casey, and he 388 00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:00,640 Speaker 2: owned a company that moved houses. 389 00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:01,640 Speaker 1: One day. 390 00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:05,440 Speaker 2: They had traveled several hours down these country roads moving 391 00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:08,879 Speaker 2: this house, having to raise the power lines, move the 392 00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:11,600 Speaker 2: signage to clear the way, and they finally made it 393 00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:15,680 Speaker 2: to their destination. Casey realized they had forgotten their main 394 00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:19,119 Speaker 2: chain that they needed to unload the house. It was 395 00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:22,000 Speaker 2: several hours back to the city late in the day. 396 00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:24,080 Speaker 2: He didn't want to leave the house on the side 397 00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:26,679 Speaker 2: of the road, so he told his men that he 398 00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:29,320 Speaker 2: was going to pray and ask God to give him 399 00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:34,080 Speaker 2: a chain. They kind of snickered, said sarcastically. 400 00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:34,439 Speaker 1: What are you going to do? 401 00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:37,760 Speaker 2: Pray God that rains down a chain from heaven. They 402 00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:41,920 Speaker 2: all laughed, made fun. Casey said, God, I know there's 403 00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:44,840 Speaker 2: nothing too hard for you, and I don't see how 404 00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:48,720 Speaker 2: in the natural. Nothing in my logic says this makes sense. 405 00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:51,880 Speaker 2: But I know you're supernatural. You have ways that I've 406 00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:54,760 Speaker 2: never thought of. So I'm asking you to give me 407 00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:57,960 Speaker 2: a chain. All of his men were rolling their eyes, 408 00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:01,480 Speaker 2: but Jesus said, don't judge me with. 409 00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:02,920 Speaker 1: Your human limitations. 410 00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:05,639 Speaker 2: Don't put me in the same category of what you 411 00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:06,080 Speaker 2: can do. 412 00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:07,440 Speaker 1: I am all powerful. 413 00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:11,679 Speaker 2: When you're not limited by your logic, you'll pray bold 414 00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:16,160 Speaker 2: prayers you'll shake off a snake like Paul a bad break. 415 00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:17,240 Speaker 1: And go about your business. 416 00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:21,159 Speaker 2: You'll believe, or you'll compact centers for your dreams. For 417 00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:25,520 Speaker 2: what looks unlikely. Casey and his men were standing on 418 00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:27,680 Speaker 2: the side of the road and there was a big 419 00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:30,440 Speaker 2: curve right in front of them, out in the middle 420 00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:32,840 Speaker 2: of nowhere, trying to figure out what they were going 421 00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:37,040 Speaker 2: to do. About that time, this old beat up pickup 422 00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:40,560 Speaker 2: truck came buryling down the road, going way too fast. 423 00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:42,560 Speaker 1: It had its tailgate open. 424 00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:46,480 Speaker 2: When it took that sharp curve, A chain slung out 425 00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:49,160 Speaker 2: of the back of the bed, slid across the road, 426 00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:52,080 Speaker 2: curled up at Casey's feet. He picked it up and said, 427 00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:56,080 Speaker 2: here's my chain. Boys, let's go to work. Is there 428 00:22:56,119 --> 00:22:59,680 Speaker 2: anything too hard for the Lord? Are you basing your 429 00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:04,199 Speaker 2: prayer on your ability, your connections, your finances. From a 430 00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:07,719 Speaker 2: natural logical point of view, you're going to miss the 431 00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:11,960 Speaker 2: fullness of what God has in store. It's dangerous to 432 00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:15,640 Speaker 2: limit him to only what you think can happen. Take 433 00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:20,240 Speaker 2: the limits off. Pray some bold prayers, dream some big dreams. 434 00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:23,680 Speaker 2: If you can accomplish your dream in your own ability, 435 00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:26,080 Speaker 2: with your connections, your finances. 436 00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:28,520 Speaker 1: Then your dream is too small. 437 00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:31,600 Speaker 2: God has things in your future that you haven't seen, 438 00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:35,440 Speaker 2: levels that you haven't imagined. When you don't limit him 439 00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:39,280 Speaker 2: by the logical. When you believe, even when your mind 440 00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:43,000 Speaker 2: says that's too far out, you never get well, never 441 00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:45,960 Speaker 2: start your business, never see your family restored. 442 00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:49,920 Speaker 1: All the odds are against you. Then you're in perfect. 443 00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:52,439 Speaker 2: Position for God to show out in your life, to 444 00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:56,840 Speaker 2: do something that you've never seen. God told Abraham and 445 00:23:56,880 --> 00:23:58,879 Speaker 2: Sarah that they were going to have a baby. 446 00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:01,040 Speaker 1: They were both way too old. 447 00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:05,560 Speaker 2: When Sarah heard it, the scripture says, she laughed and said, 448 00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:08,600 Speaker 2: how could a worn out woman like me have a baby? 449 00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:12,760 Speaker 2: She thought, that's so far out, it's funny, it's comical 450 00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:13,959 Speaker 2: me have a child. 451 00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:16,720 Speaker 1: Sarah did what many of us do. 452 00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:20,119 Speaker 2: She looked at it only in the natural and in 453 00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:21,320 Speaker 2: her human reasoning. 454 00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:23,840 Speaker 1: She was right, you can't have a baby at eighty 455 00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:24,440 Speaker 1: years old. 456 00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:28,120 Speaker 2: But when God puts a promise in your heart, when 457 00:24:28,119 --> 00:24:31,920 Speaker 2: he whispers something to you in your spirit, it may seem. 458 00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:36,000 Speaker 1: Far out unlikely. You could easily dismiss it. Try a 459 00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:40,000 Speaker 1: different approach. Do like Mary, God, let it happen. 460 00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:43,720 Speaker 2: I'm in agreement with you. I don't see how, but 461 00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:45,040 Speaker 2: I'm not going to limit you. 462 00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:46,800 Speaker 1: To my human point of view. 463 00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:51,240 Speaker 2: When Sarah was ninety years old, against all odds, she 464 00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:55,200 Speaker 2: gave birth to a son. The scripture says she laughed 465 00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:59,520 Speaker 2: again and says God has brought me laughter, and all 466 00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:02,600 Speaker 2: who here about this will laugh with me. She even 467 00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:07,080 Speaker 2: named her son Isaac, which means laughter. The first time 468 00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:11,399 Speaker 2: she laughed in unbelief, thinking there's no way. The second 469 00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:14,760 Speaker 2: time she laughed in amazement, thinking look what the Lord 470 00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:18,840 Speaker 2: has done. In the past. You may have laughed in unbelief, 471 00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:22,160 Speaker 2: thinking what God promised you could never come to pass. 472 00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:25,679 Speaker 2: You discounted it. It's too late, Joel, it's too big, 473 00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:30,080 Speaker 2: it's impossible. The good news is that didn't stop the promise. 474 00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:34,440 Speaker 2: I believe your second laugh is coming. God is about 475 00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:38,199 Speaker 2: to do something so awesome, so big, that you're going 476 00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:41,520 Speaker 2: to laugh in amazement. The second laugh is going to 477 00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:45,040 Speaker 2: surprise you. It's going to be something out of the ordinary, 478 00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:49,320 Speaker 2: something you can't explain, something that catapults you to a 479 00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:53,360 Speaker 2: new level. Get ready, God is about to defy the odds. 480 00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:55,720 Speaker 2: He's about to show out in your life. 481 00:25:55,880 --> 00:25:59,560 Speaker 1: You haven't seen, heard, or imagined what he's about to do. 482 00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:03,560 Speaker 2: Like Sarah, you're going to stand in awe at the 483 00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:07,200 Speaker 2: greatness of our God. You wouldn't be hearing this if 484 00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:09,160 Speaker 2: that second laugh wasn't on the way. 485 00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:11,040 Speaker 1: Now do your part. 486 00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:14,240 Speaker 2: Don't see things only from a human point of view. 487 00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:17,760 Speaker 2: Don't let your logic limit what God wants to do. 488 00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:21,359 Speaker 2: Now I'm not saying deny the facts, act like they 489 00:26:21,359 --> 00:26:25,199 Speaker 2: don't exist. I'm saying, see beyond the logical, get a 490 00:26:25,280 --> 00:26:26,480 Speaker 2: heavenly perspective. 491 00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:30,840 Speaker 1: The most High God is on your side. He hasn't 492 00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:32,760 Speaker 1: forgotten what he promised you. 493 00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:36,640 Speaker 2: He has the right people, the right breaks, the solutions 494 00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:38,160 Speaker 2: already en route. 495 00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:39,600 Speaker 1: If you'll do this, I. 496 00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:44,000 Speaker 2: Believe and declare new doors are about to open, Sicknesses 497 00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:49,720 Speaker 2: are turning around, addictions are being broken, healing, wholeness, abundance, 498 00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:54,240 Speaker 2: the fullness of your destiny in Jesus's name, and if 499 00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:55,080 Speaker 2: you receive it. 500 00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:56,080 Speaker 1: Can you say amen? 501 00:26:57,760 --> 00:27:00,359 Speaker 2: I'd like to give you an opportunity to make Jesus 502 00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:01,640 Speaker 2: the lord of your life. 503 00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:05,920 Speaker 1: Would you pray with me?
