Speaker 3: Thanks for tuning in. Thanks again for coming out in person.

48
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:13,119
Speaker 3: I like to start with something funny, and I heard

49
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:16,160
Speaker 3: about this couple. They were driving down the road when

50
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:20,360
Speaker 3: they came across a sign that said Nakodochius forty miles ahead.

51
00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:23,760
Speaker 3: They begin to argue over how to correctly pronounce the

52
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:27,840
Speaker 3: name Nakodochius. The husband got so upset he told his

53
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:30,120
Speaker 3: wife when they got to town he was going to

54
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:32,799
Speaker 3: stop and prove to her that she was wrong. They

55
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:36,240
Speaker 3: drove silently the next thirty minutes. When he arrived in town,

56
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:39,200
Speaker 3: he pulled into the first fast food restaurant. They both

57
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:41,600
Speaker 3: marched up to the counter. He said to the young

58
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:44,400
Speaker 3: lady working behind it, my wife and I have been

59
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:48,000
Speaker 3: arguing the last thirty minutes. Would you please tell us,

60
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:52,120
Speaker 3: very slowly and very clearly, how to pronounce the name

61
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:54,800
Speaker 3: of this place. The young girl's eyes got real big.

62
00:02:55,000 --> 00:03:00,760
Speaker 3: She leaned over the counter and said, Burger keen, say

63
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:03,560
Speaker 3: it like you mean it. This is my Bible. I

64
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:06,240
Speaker 3: am what it says, I am, I have what it says.

65
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:06,520
Speaker 4: I have.

66
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:09,600
Speaker 3: I can do what it says I can do. Today,

67
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:12,680
Speaker 3: I will be taught the word of God. I'll boldly

68
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:16,800
Speaker 3: confess my mind is alert, my heart is receptive. I

69
00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:20,960
Speaker 3: will never be the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you.

70
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:25,280
Speaker 3: I want to talk to you today about swing your sword.

71
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:29,120
Speaker 3: It's easy to let life just happen to us when

72
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:33,359
Speaker 3: we've been through enough disappointments. People against us. We tried,

73
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:36,800
Speaker 3: but couldn't break the addiction over time that can wear

74
00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:39,800
Speaker 3: us down to where we lose our fight. We lose

75
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:43,480
Speaker 3: our passion. But you can't be passive and just take

76
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:47,160
Speaker 3: whatever comes your way. We're in a fight. There are

77
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:49,960
Speaker 3: forces that are trying to keep you from your destiny.

78
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:54,720
Speaker 3: This scripture says God's word is the sword of the spirit.

79
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:57,840
Speaker 3: When you have his promises coming out of your mouth,

80
00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:01,880
Speaker 3: you are swinging your sword. When you swing, God will

81
00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:05,480
Speaker 3: fight for you. But as long as you're passive, can't

82
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:08,880
Speaker 3: believe this happened, I never get any good breaks. I'll

83
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:12,600
Speaker 3: probably never get well. The problem is your sword is

84
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 3: in its sheep. It's not doing you any good. You

85
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:18,840
Speaker 3: have to get your sword out. Father. Thank you that

86
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:21,960
Speaker 3: no weapon formed against me will prosper Thank you that

87
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:24,599
Speaker 3: you being for me is more than the world being

88
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:27,680
Speaker 3: against me. You know what you just did. You swing

89
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:32,000
Speaker 3: your sword. When you swing, when you declare his promises,

90
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:35,480
Speaker 3: angels go to work, forces of darkness are pushed back.

91
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:39,760
Speaker 3: Negative situations will turn around. Are you swinging your sword?

92
00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:44,000
Speaker 3: You have to initiate God's power. You can't sit back.

93
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:47,279
Speaker 3: Hope I get well. I hope my child gets on course.

94
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:51,240
Speaker 3: I hope this dream comes to pass. Hoping is good.

95
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:55,840
Speaker 3: But that's not enough. You're in a battle not with people.

96
00:04:56,279 --> 00:05:00,880
Speaker 3: The scripture says, we're fighting spirits without bodies. There's an

97
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:04,040
Speaker 3: unseen realm where forces are trying to keep you from

98
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:09,279
Speaker 3: your purpose. You can't fight an unseen enemy with physical weapons.

99
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:13,520
Speaker 3: You have to use the sword of the spirit. God's

100
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:15,760
Speaker 3: word coming out of your mouth is one of your

101
00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:19,359
Speaker 3: most powerful weapons. When Joel, I'm waiting on God to

102
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:22,520
Speaker 3: help me, maybe God's waiting on you to get your

103
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:26,040
Speaker 3: sword out. To accomplish your dreams. You have to swing

104
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:30,200
Speaker 3: your sword. Father, you said, because I keep you first place,

105
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:33,480
Speaker 3: you will crown my efforts with success. Thank you that

106
00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:36,360
Speaker 3: my business is taken off, that my gifts are coming

107
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 3: out to the full that you're opening doors that no

108
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:43,040
Speaker 3: person can shut. That's not just being positive, that's swinging

109
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:46,760
Speaker 3: your sword if you're single, believing to meet the right

110
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:50,440
Speaker 3: person instead of being negative. It's been so long, I

111
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:53,320
Speaker 3: don't think it's ever going to happen. Father, you said

112
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:56,920
Speaker 3: no good thing? Will you withhold? Because I walk up rightly?

113
00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:00,400
Speaker 3: You said you'd give me the desires of my heart. Well, Father,

114
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:04,440
Speaker 3: thank you that someone awesome is coming my way. I

115
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:06,760
Speaker 3: talked to a young couple. They'd been trying to have

116
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:10,080
Speaker 3: a baby for many years with no success. They were

117
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:13,360
Speaker 3: very disappointed. They said, I guess it just wasn't meant

118
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:18,279
Speaker 3: to be. Sometimes we get worn down, we're tired of believing,

119
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:21,479
Speaker 3: tried and it didn't work out. The next time we

120
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:24,039
Speaker 3: have a challenge, we don't even get our sword out.

121
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:28,840
Speaker 3: We get conditioned to it. No, don't accept defeat. Don't

122
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:34,600
Speaker 3: let mediocrity, addictions, dysfunction become normal to where you think,

123
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:37,919
Speaker 3: just my lot in life, all my family is depressed.

124
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:42,039
Speaker 3: Get your sword out, Start declaring what God says about you,

125
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:46,120
Speaker 3: Start expecting his favor, start thinking him when there's no

126
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:50,159
Speaker 3: sign of it, praising when nothing is turning around. That's

127
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:53,680
Speaker 3: what faith is all about. I told that couple all

128
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:57,599
Speaker 3: through the day, you need to start declaring. Father. You said,

129
00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:00,800
Speaker 3: the fruit of my womb is blessed. You said you

130
00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:04,000
Speaker 3: would make the barren woman a happy mother of children.

131
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:06,919
Speaker 3: You said children are a gift from God. That my

132
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:10,040
Speaker 3: children will rise up and call me blessed. So Lord,

133
00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:13,280
Speaker 3: thank you that my baby is on the way. When

134
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:16,760
Speaker 3: you start swinging your sword, God will make things happen

135
00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:20,520
Speaker 3: that you couldn't make happen. He'll fight for you, but

136
00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:24,040
Speaker 3: you have to activate his power. You have to activate

137
00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:28,000
Speaker 3: the miracle, activate the breakthrough. Jeorle I did this, but

138
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:31,920
Speaker 3: nothing happened. Keep doing it. Things are happening in the

139
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:35,600
Speaker 3: unseen realm. God is working. You may not see it,

140
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:40,040
Speaker 3: but things are changing in your favor. Consistency is the key.

141
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:44,600
Speaker 3: Keep swinging that sword, keep declaring the victory. Year and

142
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:47,160
Speaker 3: a half later, that young couple came down to the

143
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:51,280
Speaker 3: front to dedicate their beautiful baby girl. They both had

144
00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:55,520
Speaker 3: tears running down their faces, so grateful to God. I

145
00:07:55,600 --> 00:08:00,600
Speaker 3: wonder if there are babies we're missing out on healing, freedom,

146
00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:05,600
Speaker 3: abundance simply because we're not swinging our sword. What's holding

147
00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:09,560
Speaker 3: you back? Are There areas you become complacent. You're just

148
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:13,280
Speaker 3: accepting it, waiting on God to do something, when in

149
00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:16,880
Speaker 3: fact God is waiting on you. Get your sword out,

150
00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:22,080
Speaker 3: start believing again, Start expecting his favor, Start declaring what

151
00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:26,400
Speaker 3: he says about you. The scripture says, let say I

152
00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:29,800
Speaker 3: am strong. Let the poor say I am well off.

153
00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:33,640
Speaker 3: Don't sit around in weakness. Don't just talk about how

154
00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:38,480
Speaker 3: bad life is. I'll probably always struggle. Talking defeat brings

155
00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:42,160
Speaker 3: more defeat. Talking about the weakness will keep you weak.

156
00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:46,080
Speaker 3: God has given you a sword that can break powers

157
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:48,600
Speaker 3: that are holding you back. You have a sword that

158
00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:52,720
Speaker 3: can unleash your dreams, unlock your potential, thrust you to

159
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:55,440
Speaker 3: a new level. Take it out of its sheath and

160
00:08:55,520 --> 00:09:00,240
Speaker 3: start swinging it. I am blessed, I am prosperous, I

161
00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:05,040
Speaker 3: am healthy, strong, forgiven, favored. I am more than a

162
00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:08,680
Speaker 3: conquer You keep swinging your sword like that, and you'll

163
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:12,880
Speaker 3: see God do things you couldn't do, favor, breakthroughs new

164
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:16,920
Speaker 3: levels of your destiny. Well, Joel, I'm kind of discouraged

165
00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:20,520
Speaker 3: because I'm under attack. These people have come against me.

166
00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:23,560
Speaker 3: My health is not good. My child God, off course,

167
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:28,200
Speaker 3: under attack is the wrong perspective, you're not under attack,

168
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:32,480
Speaker 3: You're in a battle. Under attack implies I'm being bombarded.

169
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:36,800
Speaker 3: It's not fair. I'm out numbered. You're not outnumbered. You

170
00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:40,160
Speaker 3: and God are a majority. You have the most powerful

171
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:44,360
Speaker 3: force in the universe on your side. But a defeated

172
00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:48,679
Speaker 3: mindset is not going to move you forward. Thinking that

173
00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:52,480
Speaker 3: you were shortchanged, you're at a disadvantage, will keep you

174
00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:56,520
Speaker 3: from your destiny. The reason you have these challenges is

175
00:09:56,600 --> 00:10:00,679
Speaker 3: because there's something amazing in front of you. The enemy

176
00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:04,000
Speaker 3: wouldn't be fighting you if you didn't have greatness in you.

177
00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:07,640
Speaker 3: He wouldn't waste his time if he didn't know you

178
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:10,480
Speaker 3: were going to take new ground for the kingdom. He

179
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:14,199
Speaker 3: consents you're a threat. That's why he's coming against you.

180
00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:19,559
Speaker 3: Don't fall apart, get your sword out, start swinging, start praising,

181
00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:24,040
Speaker 3: start declaring, start speaking his promises. This too shall pass

182
00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:27,960
Speaker 3: what was meant from my harm. I know this God

183
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:31,360
Speaker 3: has turned into my advantage. What he's started in my life,

184
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:35,760
Speaker 3: he's going to finish. God promised the Israelites he would

185
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:38,920
Speaker 3: give them the land of Canaan. That was the promised land.

186
00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:42,080
Speaker 3: But he said you have to go in and possess

187
00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:45,840
Speaker 3: the land. The problem was there were giants living there.

188
00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:49,480
Speaker 3: The people were huge. Instead of taking their swords out

189
00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:52,440
Speaker 3: going in knowing that God would give them the victory,

190
00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:56,280
Speaker 3: they were intimidated by the opposition. They looked at how

191
00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:59,600
Speaker 3: big and how strong, and how they didn't have a chance.

192
00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:03,120
Speaker 3: They turned around and went back into the desert and

193
00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:06,400
Speaker 3: never did make it in. God could have given them

194
00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:09,400
Speaker 3: the land without a fight. He could have cleared out

195
00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:13,920
Speaker 3: the enemy handed to them without opposition. But most of

196
00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:17,000
Speaker 3: the time God will say, I'll give you the healing,

197
00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:20,600
Speaker 3: but you have to fight for it. I'll restore your marriage,

198
00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:23,760
Speaker 3: I'll break the addiction. I'll turn your child around, if

199
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:26,720
Speaker 3: you'll get your sword out, if you'll not be passive,

200
00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:31,240
Speaker 3: if you'll start swinging. God asks the Israelites, how long

201
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:34,800
Speaker 3: will you wait till you possess the land that I've

202
00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:39,080
Speaker 3: given you. It wasn't necessarily up to God. He said,

203
00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:43,040
Speaker 3: in effect, you initiate the blessing, the favor, the healing.

204
00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:46,120
Speaker 3: How long are you going to wait to go after

205
00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:48,720
Speaker 3: what God has put in your heart? Well, Joel, there

206
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:52,520
Speaker 3: are giants in front of me, this medical report, this addiction.

207
00:11:53,160 --> 00:11:55,839
Speaker 3: I don't have the funds for my dream the connections.

208
00:11:56,280 --> 00:11:59,200
Speaker 3: Those giants may look big, but they're no match for

209
00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:02,440
Speaker 3: our God. You'll be amazed at what will happen when

210
00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:06,760
Speaker 3: you start swinging your sword. Hebrews says, God's word is

211
00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:10,880
Speaker 3: alive and full of power, sharper than any two edged sword.

212
00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:14,280
Speaker 3: His promise is coming out of your mouth. Will part red,

213
00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:18,800
Speaker 3: seas will break, addictions will defeat the sickness, will open

214
00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:22,760
Speaker 3: doors you never dream would open. Are you swinging your sword?

215
00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:26,120
Speaker 3: Are you declaring what God says about you? Are you

216
00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:29,679
Speaker 3: possessing your land, going after what He put in your heart?

217
00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:35,160
Speaker 3: Dreaming big, praying bold prayers, expecting his favor. God wants

218
00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:38,240
Speaker 3: to take you where no one in your family has gone.

219
00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:44,040
Speaker 3: He has influence, opportunity, favor like you've never seen. You

220
00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:48,079
Speaker 3: wouldn't be hearing this if there wasn't something bigger, something better,

221
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:52,120
Speaker 3: come in your way. But with those new levels, there

222
00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:56,800
Speaker 3: will be new devils. There will be giants on your land, opposition,

223
00:12:57,520 --> 00:13:01,240
Speaker 3: things you don't understand, things that are not people that

224
00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:04,520
Speaker 3: should be for you, that are against you. You don't

225
00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:08,800
Speaker 3: win these battles with just skill, strength, out maneuvering. It's

226
00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:12,320
Speaker 3: a spiritual battle. They are one with the sword of

227
00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:16,600
Speaker 3: the spirit, with declaring God's promises, with standing in faith,

228
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:21,559
Speaker 3: unwavered and unmoved. I was in college in nineteen eighty

229
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:24,760
Speaker 3: one when my brother Paul called and he said, mother

230
00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:28,160
Speaker 3: is very sick. I had never seen my mother sick

231
00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:31,360
Speaker 3: a day of her life, and that caught me off guard. Said, Paul,

232
00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:33,559
Speaker 3: what do you mean she's sick. She has the flu,

233
00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:36,880
Speaker 3: she has a bad called. He said, no, she's really sick.

234
00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:39,599
Speaker 3: What they weren't telling me is she had been in

235
00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:43,360
Speaker 3: the hospital for twenty one days. The doctors couldn't figure

236
00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:46,080
Speaker 3: out what was wrong with her. They finally told my

237
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:49,720
Speaker 3: father that she had metastatic cancer of the liver and

238
00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:52,400
Speaker 3: only had a few weeks to live. There was no

239
00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:55,280
Speaker 3: treatment that they could give her. They'd come to the

240
00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:58,199
Speaker 3: end of what they could do medically speaking, and they

241
00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:02,680
Speaker 3: sent her home. News people don't have the final saying

242
00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:07,840
Speaker 3: God can do what medicine cannot do. I flew home

243
00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:10,840
Speaker 3: from college and when I saw my mother, I was

244
00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:14,440
Speaker 3: so shocked. She looked like a picture of death. She

245
00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:18,280
Speaker 3: was very frail, weighed only eighty nine pounds, Her skin

246
00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:21,160
Speaker 3: was as yellow as can be, her voice so shaky.

247
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:26,000
Speaker 3: She could have gone to bed, depressed, given up on life.

248
00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:29,120
Speaker 3: I guess my time is up. This giant is too big.

249
00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:33,520
Speaker 3: But Mother understood this principle. She didn't see herself as

250
00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:37,560
Speaker 3: under attack, as this one sided opposition where she was

251
00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:40,880
Speaker 3: at the mercy of the sickness. She saw herself as

252
00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:44,560
Speaker 3: in a battle. She got her sword out. All through

253
00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:47,520
Speaker 3: the day, I would hear her quoting scripture, I will

254
00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:50,920
Speaker 3: live and not die. God is restoring health. Beckon to me,

255
00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:53,760
Speaker 3: I am strong in the Lord. The number of my

256
00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:58,040
Speaker 3: days he will fulfill. She felt weak, but she kept

257
00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:01,720
Speaker 3: declaring she was strong. She looked sick, but she kept

258
00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:05,240
Speaker 3: declaring she was well. The cancer looked like it was winning,

259
00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:08,800
Speaker 3: but she kept declaring. God always causes me to triumph.

260
00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:13,640
Speaker 3: She kept swinging her sword, believing God was working when

261
00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:17,840
Speaker 3: she didn't see anything changing, expecting his favor, talking like

262
00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:21,120
Speaker 3: healing was on the way. When you swing your sword,

263
00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:24,920
Speaker 3: God goes to work. I can imagine every time she

264
00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:28,320
Speaker 3: said I am healed, that cancer got a little weaker.

265
00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:31,200
Speaker 3: Every time she said I will live and not die,

266
00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:34,120
Speaker 3: it got a little bit weaker. Every time she declared

267
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:36,760
Speaker 3: what the psalmist said, the strength of the enemy is

268
00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:39,280
Speaker 3: being cut off, but the power of the Godly is

269
00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:44,840
Speaker 3: being increased. The cancer got weaker, weaker and weaker. This

270
00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:48,600
Speaker 3: went on months and months, Against all odds, she started

271
00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:53,440
Speaker 3: getting better and better. Today, forty years later, she's healthy, hole,

272
00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:59,400
Speaker 3: still going strong. How long will you wait till you

273
00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:04,600
Speaker 3: possess your healing, your freedom, your peace, your abundance, Start

274
00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:08,800
Speaker 3: swinging your sword. It's very powerful when you have God's

275
00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:12,720
Speaker 3: promises coming out of your mouth. The scripture says, God

276
00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:17,080
Speaker 3: watches over his word to perform it. He's not obligated

277
00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:19,800
Speaker 3: to bring the past what we say, but he is

278
00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:23,320
Speaker 3: obligated to bring the past what he says. That's why

279
00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:26,800
Speaker 3: it's so important to get in agreement with God. Speak

280
00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:30,080
Speaker 3: what he says about you, not how you feel, not

281
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:32,880
Speaker 3: how big the problem is, not how it's never going

282
00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:37,840
Speaker 3: to work out. Speak victory, speak, abundance, speak healing. Like

283
00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:41,440
Speaker 3: my mother, you may be fighting a battle in your health,

284
00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:45,680
Speaker 3: your finances, a relationship. The good news is you have

285
00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:49,920
Speaker 3: a weapon. Get your sword out. I am healthy, I

286
00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:53,280
Speaker 3: am whole, I am strong. I will run and not

287
00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:56,720
Speaker 3: be weary. I will walk and not faint. If you're

288
00:16:56,720 --> 00:17:00,680
Speaker 3: struggling in your finances, set of complaining never get any

289
00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:04,439
Speaker 3: good breaks. I'll always be in need. Everyone in my

290
00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:07,640
Speaker 3: family has struggled. That's just who we are. Get your

291
00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:11,560
Speaker 3: sword out. Lords. You promise whatever I touch will prosper

292
00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:14,520
Speaker 3: and succeed. Think you that my cup will run over,

293
00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:17,720
Speaker 3: that I will have a bountiful year. That because I

294
00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:24,240
Speaker 3: fully obey, I walk under the commanded blessing, good breaks, opportunities, resources,

295
00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:27,600
Speaker 3: The right people are chasing me down. Now you may

296
00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:31,160
Speaker 3: not see anything happening, but as you keep swinging that sword,

297
00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:35,080
Speaker 3: behind the scenes, things are changing. God is lining up

298
00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:39,560
Speaker 3: the right people, moving out the wrong people. Opportunities are coming,

299
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:44,440
Speaker 3: healing breakthroughs. He watches over his word to perform it.

300
00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:48,520
Speaker 3: Pay attention to what's coming out of your mouth. Are

301
00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:51,560
Speaker 3: you speaking the problem or are you speaking the promises?

302
00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:54,640
Speaker 3: Are you talking to God about how big your problems

303
00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:57,800
Speaker 3: are or are you talking to your problems about how

304
00:17:57,800 --> 00:18:01,760
Speaker 3: big your God is? How any battles are we not winning?

305
00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:05,199
Speaker 3: Because our sword is in the cheap We have it,

306
00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:08,600
Speaker 3: but we're not swinging it. We're not activating God's power,

307
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:13,000
Speaker 3: his favor, his healing. Get that sword out. We're in

308
00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:17,120
Speaker 3: a battle. There are giants on your land. God promised

309
00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:20,560
Speaker 3: you the victory, but you can't be passive. I hope

310
00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:23,239
Speaker 3: it happened, Joel. If God wants me to have it,

311
00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:26,040
Speaker 3: he'll give it to me. No, he's waiting on you

312
00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:29,680
Speaker 3: to possess it. If you'll start swinging your sword, then

313
00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:33,119
Speaker 3: he'll step in help you accomplish what you can accomplish

314
00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:36,840
Speaker 3: on your own. When David went out to face Goliath,

315
00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:40,160
Speaker 3: before he ever slung a rock, he got his sword out.

316
00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:43,560
Speaker 3: He looked at Goliath and said, this day I will

317
00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:46,600
Speaker 3: defeat you and feed your head to the birds of

318
00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:51,359
Speaker 3: the air. He declared victory. He declared God's favor. He

319
00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:54,280
Speaker 3: could have said, God, why is this giant in my path?

320
00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:57,720
Speaker 3: He's twice my size. I don't have the training. This

321
00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:01,080
Speaker 3: is not fair. If Dave would have talked like that,

322
00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:04,159
Speaker 3: we wouldn't be talking about him. David knew how to

323
00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:07,480
Speaker 3: swing his sword. He went out and slung that rock,

324
00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:11,360
Speaker 3: hit Golith in the forehead, knocked him out. Here's the point.

325
00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:14,600
Speaker 3: If you'll swing your sword, God will direct the rock.

326
00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:19,720
Speaker 3: If you'll declare victory, he'll bring down the giants. Years ago,

327
00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:22,920
Speaker 3: I was watching this boxing match. It was the two

328
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:26,880
Speaker 3: best boxers in the world, heavyweight boxers. They were scheduled

329
00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:29,640
Speaker 3: for a twelve round fight. There had been all this

330
00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:33,000
Speaker 3: height leading up to it. The opening bell finally rang.

331
00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:38,120
Speaker 3: We expected this exciting, high energy match, but the boxer

332
00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:41,960
Speaker 3: that was the favorite heartily threw any punches. First round

333
00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:45,720
Speaker 3: he was very passive, just playing defense, trying to stay

334
00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:49,600
Speaker 3: away from his opponent, almost like he was scared. Second round,

335
00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:53,159
Speaker 3: it was the same way third round. In the fourth round.

336
00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:56,719
Speaker 3: In the fifth round, he got knocked out. Was a

337
00:19:56,800 --> 00:20:01,480
Speaker 3: huge upset. He told afterwards. His strategy was to be

338
00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:05,679
Speaker 3: defensive for the first five rounds, save all his energy,

339
00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:09,560
Speaker 3: not throw many punches, so in the later rounds when

340
00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:12,480
Speaker 3: the other boxer was tired, he would have the advantage.

341
00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:16,000
Speaker 3: The problem is he never made it to the later rounds.

342
00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:20,000
Speaker 3: Are you being passive just taking what comes your way.

343
00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:23,400
Speaker 3: You're in a fight. There are forces that don't want

344
00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:28,080
Speaker 3: you to succeed. They're after your health, your finances, your children.

345
00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:31,400
Speaker 3: You can't stay on the defensive and live in victory.

346
00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:35,080
Speaker 3: You have to start throwing some punches. Well, Joe, my

347
00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:38,120
Speaker 3: children are running with the wrong crowd. I've been praying.

348
00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:41,480
Speaker 3: I don't think they'll ever get back on course. Praying

349
00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:44,480
Speaker 3: is important, But you need to do more than pray.

350
00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:47,760
Speaker 3: You need to get your sword out. Start declaring what

351
00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:51,240
Speaker 3: God said. Father, you said, as for me and my house,

352
00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:54,360
Speaker 3: we will serve the Lord. You said. My children will

353
00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:56,800
Speaker 3: be mighty in the land. You said, the seed of

354
00:20:56,880 --> 00:20:59,800
Speaker 3: the righteous is blessed. Lord, Thank you that my children

355
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:03,280
Speaker 3: will become all that You've created them to be. Keep

356
00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:07,120
Speaker 3: swinging that sword. Every time you do is pushing back

357
00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:10,840
Speaker 3: forces of darkness. For your own life. Every day you

358
00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:15,879
Speaker 3: need to declare victory, purpose destiny. Father, thank you that

359
00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:18,560
Speaker 3: you've raised me up for such a time as this.

360
00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:21,560
Speaker 3: Thank you that you've crowned me with your favor. That

361
00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:26,600
Speaker 3: I will defeat every giant, overcome every obstacle, accomplish every dream,

362
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:30,360
Speaker 3: that the greatness you put in me will come out.

363
00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:33,480
Speaker 3: I wonder where you would be at this time next

364
00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:37,639
Speaker 3: year if you'd start swinging your sword, not talking about

365
00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:41,560
Speaker 3: the problem, but talking about the promise. Not wishing things

366
00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:45,800
Speaker 3: would change, but declaring God's favor. Speaking strength when you

367
00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:50,080
Speaker 3: feel weak, speaking abundance when you're seeing lack, Speaking new

368
00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:53,560
Speaker 3: levels when you feel stuck and you may have big

369
00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:57,080
Speaker 3: obstacles coming against you today, let me remind you we

370
00:21:57,119 --> 00:22:00,560
Speaker 3: serve a big God. The sword he's given you is

371
00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:04,240
Speaker 3: sharper and more powerful than any force that's trying to

372
00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:07,760
Speaker 3: stop you. Many of you have been using your sword.

373
00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:12,119
Speaker 3: You've been faithful, swinging when the depression comes. The joy

374
00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:15,200
Speaker 3: of the Lord is my strength. Swinging in the face

375
00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:18,920
Speaker 3: of the illness by his stripes, I am healed, swinging

376
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:22,320
Speaker 3: in the middle of a pandemic. Father, you said, even

377
00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:26,200
Speaker 3: in famine, the righteous will have more than enough. Get ready,

378
00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:29,879
Speaker 3: giants are about to come down. Your health is about

379
00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:32,800
Speaker 3: to turn around. That child is about to get back

380
00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:36,880
Speaker 3: on course. New doors are about to open. That family

381
00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:41,880
Speaker 3: issue is about to resolve. It's going to be unusual, uncommon,

382
00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:46,800
Speaker 3: something better than you were expecting. God sees your faithfulness.

383
00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:51,280
Speaker 3: He hears you bringing his word back to him, not complaining,

384
00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:54,600
Speaker 3: but speaking the promises. He's about to watch over his

385
00:22:54,760 --> 00:22:58,720
Speaker 3: word to perform it. I talked to a gentleman during

386
00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:02,320
Speaker 3: the pandemic. His business went down to nothing. He fell

387
00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:05,960
Speaker 3: behind on rent and other bills. He was ten thousand

388
00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:09,080
Speaker 3: dollars in depth, didn't have any of it. He was

389
00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:11,960
Speaker 3: so discouraged, didn't know what he was going to do.

390
00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:15,679
Speaker 3: Serious Radio was having a special where they'd give you

391
00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:19,160
Speaker 3: three months of free subscription. He signed up and came

392
00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:22,920
Speaker 3: across our station. He felt so much hope. He started

393
00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:26,280
Speaker 3: listening day and night. He would even leave it on

394
00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:29,520
Speaker 3: at night while he slept. I've always been good at

395
00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:32,520
Speaker 3: putting people to sleep, he said. I came to the

396
00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:35,640
Speaker 3: point where I said, God, I'm not going to worry anymore.

397
00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:39,760
Speaker 3: I believe you're supplying my needs. You feed the birds

398
00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:42,480
Speaker 3: of the air, you clothed the lilies of the fields.

399
00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:45,680
Speaker 3: I know you'll take care of me. When he could

400
00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:50,200
Speaker 3: have been depressed complaining, he started swinging his sword. Father,

401
00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:53,800
Speaker 3: thank you that you're Jehovah Jihrah, the Lord, my provider.

402
00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:56,600
Speaker 3: Thank you that the economy is not my source, but

403
00:23:56,640 --> 00:23:59,199
Speaker 3: you are my source. Thank you that you're opening the

404
00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:04,600
Speaker 3: windows of having pouring up blessings. I cannot contain one scripture,

405
00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:08,680
Speaker 3: says put God in remembrance of what he said, find

406
00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:12,080
Speaker 3: the promises that apply to your situation, and thank him

407
00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:15,960
Speaker 3: that he's bringing them to pass. Fifteen years ago, he

408
00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:20,000
Speaker 3: had bought two penny stocks. They were worth about twenty dollars.

409
00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:22,920
Speaker 3: He would check them every once in a while. One

410
00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:25,600
Speaker 3: time they went up to several hundred dollars. Then they'd

411
00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:28,879
Speaker 3: come right back down to a few dollars. They were, basically,

412
00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:32,640
Speaker 3: in his words, worthless. He hadn't checked on them in years.

413
00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:35,560
Speaker 3: He went to his account and thought it was a mistake.

414
00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:39,720
Speaker 3: It said they were worth sixteen thousand dollars. He tried

415
00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:42,520
Speaker 3: to sell them before, when it was a few hundred dollars.

416
00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:45,480
Speaker 3: He could never get it to go through. This time

417
00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:49,080
Speaker 3: he had a buyer offer him not sixteen thousand, but

418
00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:53,080
Speaker 3: twenty thousand dollars. He said, only God can take a

419
00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:56,639
Speaker 3: penny stock that I thought was worthless and turn it

420
00:24:56,760 --> 00:25:01,080
Speaker 3: into twenty thousand dollars. When you swing your sword, God

421
00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:04,240
Speaker 3: goes to work. He won't just bring you out. He'll

422
00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:09,120
Speaker 3: exceed your expectations. The scripture says he'll make a river

423
00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:12,800
Speaker 3: in the desert. He'll take five lobes and feed five thousand.

424
00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:16,000
Speaker 3: He'll part a red sea. He'll heal you from the cancer.

425
00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:19,560
Speaker 3: He'll give you a compact center. I'm asking you to

426
00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:24,480
Speaker 3: get your sword out. Complaining doesn't get his attention. Begging

427
00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:28,479
Speaker 3: doesn't cause him to act. Yes, he's concerned about our needs,

428
00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:32,639
Speaker 3: but he's moved by our faith. Start declaring what he

429
00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:37,960
Speaker 3: says about your situation Joshua. Chapter ten. Five kings had

430
00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:42,080
Speaker 3: joined together to come against Joshua and the Israelites. They

431
00:25:42,119 --> 00:25:45,000
Speaker 3: were about to attack the city of Gibbeon. These were

432
00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:49,640
Speaker 3: Joshua's friends. The Gibbean kings sent messengers to Joshua saying,

433
00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:53,720
Speaker 3: please come and rescue us. What's interesting is these five

434
00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:58,000
Speaker 3: kings didn't even like each other before. They were all enemies.

435
00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:02,080
Speaker 3: But when they saw how powerful and favored Joshua was,

436
00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:05,720
Speaker 3: they put down their dislikes for one another, and they

437
00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:10,120
Speaker 3: formed this huge army. Some people will be so against you,

438
00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:13,440
Speaker 3: they'll join forces with their enemies to try to make

439
00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:17,240
Speaker 3: you look bad. Don't worry. They can't stand against our God.

440
00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:21,119
Speaker 3: They came against Joshua, thinking they had so many people,

441
00:26:21,359 --> 00:26:25,080
Speaker 3: surely he would back down. They didn't know Joshua. Joshua

442
00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:29,119
Speaker 3: was a warrior. He got his men together. They hurried

443
00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:32,920
Speaker 3: down to Gibeon with their swords drawn. When the enemy

444
00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:37,400
Speaker 3: armies saw them coming, they panicked and got confused. Joshua

445
00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:40,760
Speaker 3: and his men started defeating them left and right. Some

446
00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:44,040
Speaker 3: of them ran into the hills trying to escape. They

447
00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:48,800
Speaker 3: would have gotten away, but God sent a huge hellstorm hell.

448
00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:52,000
Speaker 3: I can imagine the size of baseballs raining down from

449
00:26:52,040 --> 00:26:55,919
Speaker 3: the heavens. The scripture says the hell destroyed more of

450
00:26:55,960 --> 00:26:59,560
Speaker 3: the enemy's troops than Joshua and his men did with

451
00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:03,280
Speaker 3: the sword. Lord. God was showing us, if you'll swing

452
00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:06,920
Speaker 3: your sword, then God will throw his hell. If you'll

453
00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:10,480
Speaker 3: speak his promises, God will make things happen that you

454
00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:14,040
Speaker 3: couldn't make happen. Well, I'm waiting on the healthstorm, John,

455
00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:17,520
Speaker 3: waiting on God to deliver me, promote me, restore me.

456
00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:21,520
Speaker 3: God is waiting on you to swing the sword. When

457
00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:24,160
Speaker 3: you have his word coming out of your mouth, when

458
00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:27,760
Speaker 3: you're declaring his promises, then he'll step in and do

459
00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:31,439
Speaker 3: what you can't do. Swing your sword and you'll defeat

460
00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:35,280
Speaker 3: giants much bigger. Swing your sword and doors will open

461
00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:38,480
Speaker 3: you could never open. Swing your sword and you'll break

462
00:27:38,520 --> 00:27:42,040
Speaker 3: the addiction. You'll beat the depression. You'll see those dreams

463
00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:46,760
Speaker 3: come to pass. God has the healthstorm, he has the favor,

464
00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:50,040
Speaker 3: the healing, the abundance. He's just waiting on you to

465
00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:54,000
Speaker 3: get your sword out. Don't be passive. You're in a battle.

466
00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:57,640
Speaker 3: Get your fight back, get your passion back. You have

467
00:27:57,680 --> 00:28:03,000
Speaker 3: to initiate the blessingitiate the healing, initiate the favor. If

468
00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:06,919
Speaker 3: you'll start swinging your sword, I believe and declare, like

469
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:10,359

474
00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:33,880
Speaker 3: Lord of your life. Would you pray with me? Just say, Lord, Jesus,

475
00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:39,760

498

00:29:49,800 --> 00:29:55,880
Speaker 5: the stable boy became a stable man. From whoa whoa toooo,
