1
00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:02,160
Speaker 1: Hi, this is Joel and Victoria.

2
00:00:02,240 --> 00:00:05,279
Speaker 2: Thanks for listening to our podcast and thanks for supporting

3
00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:08,239
Speaker 2: the ministry. If you enjoy today's message, why don't you

4
00:00:08,280 --> 00:00:11,000
Speaker 2: be a blessing and share it with a friend, reappreciate

5
00:00:11,119 --> 00:00:13,760
Speaker 2: you and pray for God's very best in your life.

6
00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:14,760
Speaker 1: God bless you.

7
00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:17,599
Speaker 2: It's great to be with you today, and I hope

8
00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:20,000
Speaker 2: you'll stay connected with us during the week through our

9
00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:23,720
Speaker 2: daily podcast, our YouTube channel, social media, and you can

10
00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:25,160
Speaker 2: come visit us in person.

11
00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:27,080
Speaker 1: We'd love to have you be a part of one

12
00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:28,040
Speaker 1: of our services.

13
00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:30,600
Speaker 2: I'd like to start with something funny, and I heard

14
00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:32,000
Speaker 2: about this elderly woman.

15
00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:34,720
Speaker 1: She was at the store and accidentally.

16
00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:36,599
Speaker 2: Locked her keys in the car, and she had a

17
00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:39,120
Speaker 2: coat hanger and she was trying and trying, but she

18
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:41,800
Speaker 2: couldn't get it open. So she prayed and asked God

19
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:45,080
Speaker 2: to help her. About that time, this guy pulls up

20
00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:49,519
Speaker 2: on a motorcycle, very rough looking, dressed in leather and

21
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:53,720
Speaker 2: tattoos a skull cap. Fifteen seconds later, he had the

22
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:57,000
Speaker 2: car open. She hugged him and said, Lord, thank you

23
00:00:57,080 --> 00:00:58,240
Speaker 2: for sending me such.

24
00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:02,080
Speaker 1: A nice man. Lady, I'm not a nice man. I

25
00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:05,440
Speaker 1: just got out of prison. For theft. She hugged him

26
00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:06,520
Speaker 1: and said, Lord.

27
00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:08,600
Speaker 2: Thank you, you even sent me a professional.

28
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:13,000
Speaker 1: All Right, y'all say it like you mean it. This

29
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:15,680
Speaker 1: is my Bible. I am what it says I am.

30
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:18,520
Speaker 1: I have what it says I have. I can do

31
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:21,319
Speaker 1: what it says I can do. Today I will be

32
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:22,639
Speaker 1: taught the word of God.

33
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:27,440
Speaker 2: I'll boldly confess my mind is alert, my heart is receptive.

34
00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:30,960
Speaker 1: I will never be the same. In Jesus' name.

35
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:34,720
Speaker 2: God bless you. I want to talk to you today

36
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:36,520
Speaker 2: about make room for more.

37
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:38,480
Speaker 1: It's easy to get.

38
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:41,360
Speaker 2: Stuck in life and think we've reached our limits and

39
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:43,679
Speaker 2: this is as happy as I'll ever be and as

40
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:46,360
Speaker 2: much as I'll ever have, and I've gone as far

41
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:47,919
Speaker 2: as my background allows.

42
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:50,280
Speaker 1: But God didn't create.

43
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:53,040
Speaker 2: Us to reach one level and get stuck. And the

44
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:57,080
Speaker 2: Psalmist said, open your mouth wide and God will fill it.

45
00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:00,600
Speaker 2: The key is you have to make room for God

46
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:02,960
Speaker 2: to increase you in your thinking.

47
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:03,800
Speaker 1: You have to.

48
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:08,920
Speaker 2: Enlarge your vision, raise your level of expectancy. Don't go

49
00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:12,720
Speaker 2: into a new year with an old mindset. And yes,

50
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:15,680
Speaker 2: it's good to be content, it's important to be grateful,

51
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 2: but you shouldn't be satisfied. There needs to be something

52
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:22,760
Speaker 2: you're believing for that you can't accomplish on your own,

53
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 2: that stretches your faith. Where you get up in the

54
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:30,120
Speaker 2: morning thanking God that he's opening new doors, causing you

55
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:35,680
Speaker 2: to excel with more talent, more creativity, more influence. The

56
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 2: scripture talks about how God has blessings stored up for

57
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:43,280
Speaker 2: the righteous. There are blessings that have your name on them.

58
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:47,800
Speaker 2: They already belong to you, but they're in storage. There's

59
00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:51,760
Speaker 2: healing with your name on it. There's abundance, a paid

60
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 2: off house. There's promotion, a book, a big business. There's

61
00:02:57,080 --> 00:02:59,840
Speaker 2: a spouse, a baby. How do you get it out

62
00:02:59,880 --> 00:03:03,960
Speaker 2: of storage? Number one, you keep God first place, you

63
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:07,600
Speaker 2: honor him, and number two you have to make room

64
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:12,000
Speaker 2: for it. Is there any capacity in your thinking for

65
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:14,239
Speaker 2: God to do greater things?

66
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:16,120
Speaker 1: Not ordinary, not what.

67
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:20,760
Speaker 2: The circumstances tell you, but something uncommon? To live debt, free,

68
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:24,920
Speaker 2: to break the addiction, to see your children back on course,

69
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 2: to run your own business. If you'll open your mouth wide,

70
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:30,680
Speaker 2: God will fill it.

71
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:33,320
Speaker 1: He has unlimited resources.

72
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:38,520
Speaker 2: The supply is never the problem. It's our capacity to receive.

73
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:40,920
Speaker 2: If you think you'll barely get bye.

74
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:42,040
Speaker 1: I don't know, Joel.

75
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:44,760
Speaker 2: This problem is big and I'm not that talented, and

76
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:46,160
Speaker 2: I never get any good breaks.

77
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:48,840
Speaker 1: Your mouth is too small, Your.

78
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:53,120
Speaker 2: Vision is limiting your life. Make some room God. I

79
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:55,280
Speaker 2: believe you have greater things in store.

80
00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:58,560
Speaker 1: I know your face is shining on me. That I

81
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 1: live under the open window of heaven.

82
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:04,280
Speaker 2: I believe it's going to be a blessed, favor filled year.

83
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:06,800
Speaker 2: That's creating space.

84
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:10,120
Speaker 1: That's giving God room to show out in your life.

85
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 1: If you've been dealing.

86
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:14,560
Speaker 2: With an illness long time, it's easy to accept it

87
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:16,880
Speaker 2: think that's the way it's always.

88
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:16,880
Speaker 1: Going to be.

89
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:20,880
Speaker 2: No, you need to make room for health. God is

90
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:25,279
Speaker 2: still in the healing business. He's called Jehovah Raphah, the Lord,

91
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:28,479
Speaker 2: our Healer. It may have been that way for years,

92
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:31,720
Speaker 2: but this is your year to get well, to see

93
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:33,000
Speaker 2: a divine turnaround.

94
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:35,280
Speaker 1: He's struggling in your finances.

95
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 2: Don't get stuck in a rug. I'll never have enough.

96
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:42,200
Speaker 2: I'm at a disadvantage. Nobody in my family can get ahead.

97
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:45,279
Speaker 2: God has ways to bless you that you can't see

98
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:48,520
Speaker 2: right now. He brought a coin out of a fish's

99
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:52,719
Speaker 2: mouth to pay taxes for Peter. He said, quell into

100
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:56,200
Speaker 2: the desert to feed two million people. He gave us

101
00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:58,360
Speaker 2: the funds to buy the Compact center.

102
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:03,400
Speaker 1: He has super natural provision. Is there any room in

103
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:04,040
Speaker 1: your thinking?

104
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:09,920
Speaker 2: Are you believing for greater things, expecting God's favor, or

105
00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:13,799
Speaker 2: have you let doubt, discouragement, delays take.

106
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:15,320
Speaker 1: Up all the space in your mind.

107
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:20,599
Speaker 2: Jesus could not do any miracles in his hometown because

108
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:21,560
Speaker 2: of their unbelief.

109
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:25,560
Speaker 1: There was no room. They thought, we know this man, Jesus.

110
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:28,919
Speaker 1: We grew up with him. He's nothing special. He can't

111
00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:34,279
Speaker 1: do miracles. Their limited mindset limited their life. Don't let

112
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 1: that be you. A while back, I ordered some exercise equipment.

113
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:42,680
Speaker 2: I'd been using the same bench and workout machine at

114
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:46,039
Speaker 2: home for almost thirty years. This company was scheduled to

115
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:48,000
Speaker 2: come and put down a new rubber floor.

116
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:50,440
Speaker 1: They were backed up and weren't going to be there

117
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:53,560
Speaker 1: for a month. All my equipment was coming the next week.

118
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:55,840
Speaker 2: There's a bunch of boxes and crates that you had

119
00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:59,080
Speaker 2: to assemble. I was planning on storing it in the

120
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:02,360
Speaker 2: garage where Jonathan used to park when he lived at home.

121
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:06,720
Speaker 2: The problem was, over the last five years, that garage

122
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:09,840
Speaker 2: has been turned into a storage room with all kinds

123
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:13,000
Speaker 2: of old stuff, old landscape, lights from a couple of

124
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 2: trees that blew down in a storm, old parts of

125
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:19,200
Speaker 2: an AC unit, and bikes that had flat tires we

126
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 2: hadn't ridden in twenty years. God's keeping just in case

127
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:26,320
Speaker 2: we needed them. There was an old ladder rickety top rung,

128
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:29,640
Speaker 2: broken off, not safe, and always planning to.

129
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:31,599
Speaker 1: Give it to Paul, but I kept putting it off.

130
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:35,120
Speaker 1: I finally came to the point, if I'm.

131
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:38,120
Speaker 2: Want to receive this new equipment that I really want,

132
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:40,200
Speaker 2: I'm gonna have to make room for it.

133
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:43,880
Speaker 1: I got to clean out all this junk that's taking.

134
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:46,680
Speaker 2: Up the valuable space. Well, it's the same principle in

135
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:50,880
Speaker 2: our mind. Sometimes we're holding onto things we don't need,

136
00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:54,039
Speaker 2: and it's taking up space for the new things God

137
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:58,240
Speaker 2: has in store. There's no capacity for increase. Maybe we're

138
00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:02,800
Speaker 2: holding onto doubt. Happened for me, Joel, I'm not that talented.

139
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:05,960
Speaker 2: I've had a lot of bad breaks. Do yourself a favor.

140
00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:10,280
Speaker 2: Clean out the doubt that's taking up space for good breaks,

141
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:15,080
Speaker 2: for open doors, for promotion. Some people are holding on

142
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:18,160
Speaker 2: to unforgiveness, thinking about how they hurt me.

143
00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:21,800
Speaker 1: And they did me wrong. I'm a victim. All that

144
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:24,040
Speaker 1: negativity is keeping.

145
00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:28,320
Speaker 2: You from the restoration, the new beginnings, the beauty for ashes.

146
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:31,720
Speaker 1: It's not that God doesn't want to, but there's no.

147
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:35,840
Speaker 2: Room pay attention to what's taking space in your mind.

148
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:40,880
Speaker 2: Maybe we're letting insecurity, inferiority take up all this room.

149
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:44,600
Speaker 2: I'm not attractive, I don't have a good personality. I'm

150
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:47,520
Speaker 2: too short, I'm not as smart as my cousins.

151
00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:50,160
Speaker 1: You need to get that junk out of your garage.

152
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:54,040
Speaker 2: God says you're a masterpiece, that you are fearfully and

153
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:57,720
Speaker 2: wonderfully made, that you have royal blood flowing through your veins,

154
00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:01,160
Speaker 2: that He's crowned you with his favor. As long as

155
00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:05,560
Speaker 2: you keep the insecurity feeling not valuable, there's no room

156
00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:08,760
Speaker 2: for the confidence, the favor that God has for you.

157
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:14,200
Speaker 2: He needs capacity to show you his goodness. What's occupying

158
00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:18,600
Speaker 2: your space? Doubt, worry, can't do it, not enough, problem,

159
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:19,160
Speaker 2: too big.

160
00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:23,200
Speaker 1: It's time for a cleaning. I met this couple after

161
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:23,880
Speaker 1: the service.

162
00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:27,880
Speaker 2: They had both been raised in very low income families.

163
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:32,040
Speaker 1: All they saw growing up was not enough struggle.

164
00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:36,480
Speaker 2: Trying to survive what we've seen modeled, and how we

165
00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:41,040
Speaker 2: were raised often becomes normal to us. It's what we expect.

166
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:45,440
Speaker 2: We don't realize it's a limited mindset. It's keeping us

167
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:49,000
Speaker 2: from rising higher. And that's why it's so important to

168
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:52,000
Speaker 2: go back to God's word and find out who you

169
00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:52,640
Speaker 2: really are.

170
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:55,360
Speaker 1: Life will try to define you.

171
00:08:55,960 --> 00:09:00,840
Speaker 2: People, circumstances will put labels on you, convince you to

172
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:09,040
Speaker 2: take on that identity who they say you are, average, undisciplined, angry, inferior, unattractive.

173
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:12,920
Speaker 2: If you don't know better, those lies will take up

174
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:16,720
Speaker 2: all the valuable space in your mind. There's no room

175
00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:17,560
Speaker 2: for God to work.

176
00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:21,760
Speaker 1: That's why we make that declaration every service. I am

177
00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:23,240
Speaker 1: who God says I am.

178
00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:28,240
Speaker 2: I am blessed, prosperous, forgiven, talented, well able.

179
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:30,600
Speaker 1: That's clearing out the negative.

180
00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:31,240
Speaker 2: Well.

181
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:34,000
Speaker 1: This couple was told by their parents that.

182
00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:37,760
Speaker 2: They would always struggle like they had and never have enough.

183
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:38,840
Speaker 1: That's just who they are.

184
00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:43,360
Speaker 2: The grandparents of the woman said, all you'll have in

185
00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:47,839
Speaker 2: life is beings and rice. But that's good enough. They

186
00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:52,040
Speaker 2: meant well. They were saying, don't expect too much. We

187
00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:54,400
Speaker 2: made it on beings and rice, and you can too.

188
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:57,640
Speaker 2: But can I tell you beings in Rice is not

189
00:09:57,760 --> 00:09:58,559
Speaker 2: your destiny.

190
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:01,960
Speaker 1: That may have been what you've seen, but that's not

191
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:05,960
Speaker 1: who you are. You're a barrier breaker, You're a new generation.

192
00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:11,160
Speaker 1: You know more, so you can do more. You believe bigger,

193
00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:13,120
Speaker 1: so you can live bigger.

194
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:17,400
Speaker 2: God said in Hoseah, my people are destroyed for a

195
00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:21,240
Speaker 2: lack of knowledge. If you think beings in rice is

196
00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:26,160
Speaker 2: your destiny, then you'll live lacking, struggling, hoping to get by.

197
00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:31,280
Speaker 1: But when you realize God created you in his own image.

198
00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:33,839
Speaker 2: He said you would reign in life as a king,

199
00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:36,440
Speaker 2: that you are the head and not the tale.

200
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:38,000
Speaker 1: That you will lend and.

201
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:41,760
Speaker 2: Not borrow, that whatever you touch will prosper and succeed.

202
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:46,680
Speaker 1: That's not being arrogant, as not being greedy. That's believing

203
00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:48,920
Speaker 1: you are who God says you are.

204
00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:52,800
Speaker 2: Well, this couple started watching us on television and their

205
00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:56,400
Speaker 2: thinking begin to change. That didn't set well with them,

206
00:10:56,679 --> 00:11:00,280
Speaker 2: that they would always struggle and never have enough. Started

207
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:05,000
Speaker 2: believing that they were children of the Most High, that although.

208
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:07,080
Speaker 1: They may be limited, he is unlimited.

209
00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:10,880
Speaker 2: That he can open doors no person can shut, that

210
00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:12,720
Speaker 2: he makes rivers in the desert.

211
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:17,199
Speaker 1: Now, instead of all the doubt and negativity, they had

212
00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:20,920
Speaker 1: been programmed with. There was faith expectancin.

213
00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:25,360
Speaker 2: Instead of talking defeat, they started declaring God's promises over

214
00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:30,240
Speaker 2: their life. What were they doing creating capacity to receive?

215
00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:34,560
Speaker 2: If you'll open your mouth wide, God will fill it well.

216
00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:37,360
Speaker 2: This couple took a step of faith, and, on very

217
00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:42,239
Speaker 2: normal incomes, they started building a house men was in construction,

218
00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:47,079
Speaker 2: and whenever they had extra funds, they would hire contractors

219
00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:50,840
Speaker 2: and buy more supplies, just little by little. A couple

220
00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:53,959
Speaker 2: of years later, he said, Joel, we can't explain it,

221
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:57,440
Speaker 2: but we moved into this beautiful new house in a

222
00:11:57,480 --> 00:12:03,200
Speaker 2: great neighborhood, all debt free. On paper, it didn't make sense,

223
00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:06,920
Speaker 2: but God knows how to multiply what you have. His

224
00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:10,880
Speaker 2: favor will cause you to defy the odds. A few

225
00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:14,319
Speaker 2: years after that, they sold the house for twice what

226
00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:16,800
Speaker 2: they had built it for, and the wife told me

227
00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:20,760
Speaker 2: something that I'll never forget. She said, Joel, my grandparents

228
00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:24,120
Speaker 2: told me all we'd ever have were beans and rice,

229
00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:29,040
Speaker 2: but always knew one day we would have steak. If

230
00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:31,280
Speaker 2: you're going to see those blessings that are stored up

231
00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:34,160
Speaker 2: for you, you have to do like her and take

232
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:39,640
Speaker 2: the limits off enlarger vision. Don't let how you were raised,

233
00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:44,120
Speaker 2: what was passed down, what somebody said. Even mistakes you've

234
00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:48,400
Speaker 2: made convince you to settle for beans and rice, to

235
00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:52,119
Speaker 2: live with the illness, to never be free from the depression,

236
00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:55,520
Speaker 2: to always be lonely. You have to stir your faith out.

237
00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:57,960
Speaker 2: Nothing wrong with beans and rice.

238
00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:01,840
Speaker 1: But how about some enchiladas, how about some phaidas, how

239
00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:05,480
Speaker 1: about some chilicken caeso? You have to make room for more.

240
00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:08,880
Speaker 1: And I know we're all grateful for what God has done.

241
00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:12,839
Speaker 2: We're content in every situation, But that doesn't mean you're

242
00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:14,280
Speaker 2: supposed to be satisfied.

243
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:15,520
Speaker 1: If you quit.

244
00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:21,200
Speaker 2: Stretching, believing, expecting, then you are limiting your life. Is

245
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:25,600
Speaker 2: there any capacity for God to do something greater, something.

246
00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:29,280
Speaker 1: Other people would never believe could happen. That's what faith is.

247
00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:30,880
Speaker 1: It's capacity.

248
00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:34,240
Speaker 2: It's saying God, I'm open, I know you have greater

249
00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:35,280
Speaker 2: things in store.

250
00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:39,040
Speaker 1: There was a lady in the scripture who was a widow.

251
00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:41,960
Speaker 2: Her husband was a prophet, but he had passed, and

252
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:44,760
Speaker 2: now she and her two sons were living together. She

253
00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:48,120
Speaker 2: was so in debt the creditors were coming to take

254
00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:51,319
Speaker 2: her sons as payment. She came to the prophet Elisha.

255
00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:54,760
Speaker 2: It's a friend of the family. She told him the problem.

256
00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:58,040
Speaker 2: He asked her what she had in her house. She

257
00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:01,760
Speaker 2: said nothing at all, except a small jar of oil.

258
00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:05,439
Speaker 2: Elisha told her to go to her friends and neighbors

259
00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:10,080
Speaker 2: and borrow as many empty vessels large pots as she

260
00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:14,400
Speaker 2: could find. One version says borrow not a few. She

261
00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:16,800
Speaker 2: could have thought, Elisha, what good is that gonna do?

262
00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:21,160
Speaker 2: I need funds, I need provisions, I don't need empty pots.

263
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:24,640
Speaker 2: Sometimes God will ask you to do things that don't

264
00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:30,360
Speaker 2: make sense, but obedience creates capacity do what he's asking

265
00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:33,920
Speaker 2: you to do, even when you don't understand it, even

266
00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:35,040
Speaker 2: when it's a hard thing.

267
00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:39,480
Speaker 1: God may ask you to apologize when you know it

268
00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:42,400
Speaker 1: was the other person's fault. You know they were wrong,

269
00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:45,400
Speaker 1: but God's asking you to be the bigger person.

270
00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:49,240
Speaker 2: You can't always see what he's doing, but you can

271
00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:53,320
Speaker 2: be sure your obedience is making room for a blessing

272
00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:58,360
Speaker 2: Forgiving those that hurts you is never easy, doesn't seem fair,

273
00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:02,280
Speaker 2: but holding onto the her is taking up space for

274
00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:03,480
Speaker 2: God to pay you back.

275
00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:06,800
Speaker 1: When you let it go, there's room for him to

276
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:09,600
Speaker 1: make it up to you. God will do it better

277
00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:10,520
Speaker 1: than you ever could.

278
00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:14,800
Speaker 2: This widow went out knocking on the neighbor's door asking

279
00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:18,560
Speaker 2: to borrow empty pots. Think about how foolish she looked

280
00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:22,600
Speaker 2: you to hear people talking gossiping. Did that crazy lady

281
00:15:22,600 --> 00:15:25,080
Speaker 2: come by your house asking for an empty jar?

282
00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:26,080
Speaker 1: What's wrong with her?

283
00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:30,000
Speaker 2: People may not understand you, They may think you're far out.

284
00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:32,520
Speaker 2: Why do you live a holy life? Why don't you

285
00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:36,160
Speaker 2: party with us? Don't worry about what people think, be

286
00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:38,040
Speaker 2: concerned about what God thinks.

287
00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:39,960
Speaker 1: He controls the universe.

288
00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:44,400
Speaker 2: Noah looked foolish building an arc a five hundred foot

289
00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:46,480
Speaker 2: boat when it had never rained, but.

290
00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:48,280
Speaker 1: His obedience saved his life.

291
00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:51,960
Speaker 2: His obedience made room for God to do something that

292
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:55,880
Speaker 2: had never been done. After the widow gathered all these pots,

293
00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:59,240
Speaker 2: Elisha told her to pour the little oil that she

294
00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:00,880
Speaker 2: had in to a big jar.

295
00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:05,640
Speaker 1: Imagine a little six inch jar, this two foot jar. Again,

296
00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:09,520
Speaker 1: she could have questioned him, what good is that gonna do? Elisha,

297
00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:12,640
Speaker 1: I need money, I'm not here to play games. Transfer

298
00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:13,200
Speaker 1: the oil.

299
00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:17,080
Speaker 2: But God's ways are not our ways. You have to

300
00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:21,360
Speaker 2: trust when you don't understand, be obedient when it doesn't

301
00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:24,920
Speaker 2: make sense. This lady poured the little bit of oil,

302
00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:26,720
Speaker 2: and it kept pouring and pouring.

303
00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:30,040
Speaker 1: It filled up the whole pot. That didn't make sense.

304
00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:33,880
Speaker 2: But when you do what doesn't make sense, God will do.

305
00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:37,240
Speaker 1: What doesn't make sense. She was standing there in amazement.

306
00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:41,200
Speaker 2: She kept pouring the oil until all the vessels were full.

307
00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:44,520
Speaker 1: She went out, sold the oil, paid off, her desks,

308
00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:48,160
Speaker 1: had plenty to live on. But here's what's interesting.

309
00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:53,080
Speaker 2: The oil never ran out until she filled all the vessels.

310
00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:57,760
Speaker 2: Let's say she borrowed twenty empty pots. The oil filled

311
00:16:57,800 --> 00:17:01,640
Speaker 2: all twenty. If she had borrowed thirty pots, the oil

312
00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:03,280
Speaker 2: would have filled all thirty.

313
00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:06,320
Speaker 1: If she had borrend three pots, it would just fill three.

314
00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:11,800
Speaker 2: With God, the problem is never supply its capacity.

315
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:15,560
Speaker 1: How many vessels are you gathering? What are you expecting

316
00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:18,600
Speaker 1: this year? What are you believing for? Joel?

317
00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:20,400
Speaker 2: If I can just make it through this year, I'll

318
00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:23,159
Speaker 2: be happy if my child just doesn't get in trouble,

319
00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:26,360
Speaker 2: if I can just survive this depression that I'm dealing with.

320
00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:31,000
Speaker 2: Jesus told a blind man, according to your faith, it

321
00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:31,960
Speaker 2: will be done unto you.

322
00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:35,000
Speaker 1: It wasn't God's faith, it's our faith.

323
00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:38,800
Speaker 2: It's how many vessels we have do yourself a favor,

324
00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:40,680
Speaker 2: get some more empty.

325
00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:46,000
Speaker 1: Pots, stretch, believe, expect. That's how you create capacity.

326
00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:50,240
Speaker 2: See some people gather a couple vessels that'll help them survive.

327
00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:53,560
Speaker 2: Other people they'll get a dozen. They'll make it okay.

328
00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:57,320
Speaker 2: But there's another group that pray bold prayers, and they

329
00:17:57,400 --> 00:17:59,400
Speaker 2: expect over and above favor.

330
00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:03,639
Speaker 1: They are obedient in the hard things. They becoming to lakewood.

331
00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:07,160
Speaker 2: They gather vessel after vessel after vessel.

332
00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:09,880
Speaker 1: They have capacity for healing.

333
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:16,119
Speaker 2: For greater resources, more influence, more creativity, more generosity. Many

334
00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:19,720
Speaker 2: of you have been doing this. Your mouth is open wide.

335
00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:23,280
Speaker 2: Get ready, God is about to fill it. Something big

336
00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:27,560
Speaker 2: is coming that you can't explain. You didn't have the resources,

337
00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:30,760
Speaker 2: the training, but suddenly the door opened for you.

338
00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:34,280
Speaker 1: Maybe the medical report said you'd have to live with

339
00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:35,560
Speaker 1: that sickness, but.

340
00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:38,680
Speaker 2: A turnaround is coming. God is going to do what

341
00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:43,840
Speaker 2: medicine couldn't do. Perhaps you thought that breakup stopped your destiny,

342
00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:46,840
Speaker 2: that you had seen your best days, But God is

343
00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:50,880
Speaker 2: about to surprise you someone better than you ever imagine.

344
00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:54,080
Speaker 1: You didn't have to go after them. They came after you.

345
00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:58,560
Speaker 2: Now keep believing, keep making room for more. You're going

346
00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:03,320
Speaker 2: to step into increase favor that catapults you ahead. This

347
00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:05,639
Speaker 2: is what my father had to do. He was raised

348
00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:07,880
Speaker 2: very poor, and he had to drop out of high

349
00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:10,760
Speaker 2: school to help on the family farm, just to survive

350
00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:15,240
Speaker 2: all the circumstances. Said he would live a defeated, struggling,

351
00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:16,520
Speaker 2: get by life.

352
00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:19,840
Speaker 1: That's all he had seen. But at seventeen he gave

353
00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:21,520
Speaker 1: his life to Christ, the.

354
00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:25,200
Speaker 2: First one in the family. Something rose up in him

355
00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:28,280
Speaker 2: is the spirit of the living God saying you were

356
00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:32,240
Speaker 2: made for more. This defeat is not your destiny.

357
00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:34,760
Speaker 1: And like my father, you may have gotten off to

358
00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:37,760
Speaker 1: a rough start, but how you start.

359
00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:40,240
Speaker 2: Is not how you're going to end. You're the one

360
00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:43,320
Speaker 2: to set a new standard. And Daddy's parents told him

361
00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:45,399
Speaker 2: that all he knew how to do was work in

362
00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:48,840
Speaker 2: the farm, that he better not leave that place.

363
00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:50,119
Speaker 1: He'd get out there and fail.

364
00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:54,120
Speaker 2: But sometimes to make room, you have to get out

365
00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:57,560
Speaker 2: of a limited environment. You have to break away from

366
00:19:57,600 --> 00:20:00,800
Speaker 2: people that are telling you what you can't do, how

367
00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:02,760
Speaker 2: you're not gonna make it, and you don't have what

368
00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:08,600
Speaker 2: it takes. God told Abraham, leave your country, leave your family,

369
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:11,960
Speaker 2: and go to the land that I will show you well.

370
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:15,000
Speaker 2: Abraham didn't have all the answers. He didn't know where

371
00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:18,439
Speaker 2: he was going, but he knew he couldn't see the

372
00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:22,760
Speaker 2: favor and blessing staying where he was. The people in

373
00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:26,879
Speaker 2: his city worshiped idols, the sun, the moon. Had he

374
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:29,280
Speaker 2: stayed there, it would have limited his life.

375
00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:32,840
Speaker 1: To make room for more. You may have to make

376
00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:36,440
Speaker 1: changes with who you hang around, where you go.

377
00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:40,240
Speaker 2: Get out of places that are causing you to compromise,

378
00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:44,080
Speaker 2: that are polluting your thinking. That's taking up space for

379
00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:48,040
Speaker 2: the promised land that God has taken you too. When

380
00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:50,720
Speaker 2: my father left the farm at seventeen, he didn't have

381
00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:53,320
Speaker 2: a car. He had to hitch eye, but he left

382
00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:56,600
Speaker 2: with a new mindset. He told me, Joel, I made

383
00:20:56,680 --> 00:21:00,439
Speaker 2: up my mind at seventeen that my children would be

384
00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:03,879
Speaker 2: raised in the poverty and defeat that I was raised in.

385
00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:08,040
Speaker 2: He emptied out all the lack not enough and made

386
00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:11,600
Speaker 2: room for increase, for God to open new doors, to

387
00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:14,800
Speaker 2: break barriers of the past. When I was a little

388
00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:17,879
Speaker 2: boy sitting in the feed store that was the first

389
00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:22,520
Speaker 2: building that Lakewood had seated ninety people, Daddy would get

390
00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:25,200
Speaker 2: up and say that the congregation look out over there.

391
00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:28,800
Speaker 2: Can you see that new auditorium seating a thousand people.

392
00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:31,280
Speaker 1: There was nothing there but an empty field.

393
00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:34,239
Speaker 2: But week after week, my father I could see that

394
00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:35,280
Speaker 2: new auditorium.

395
00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:38,880
Speaker 1: He was making room for it. He built that one

396
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:39,840
Speaker 1: and many more.

397
00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:44,320
Speaker 2: Sixty five years old, Daddy was in the hospital about

398
00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:48,399
Speaker 2: to have emergency open heart surgery, very critical time.

399
00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:51,240
Speaker 1: All the family was in the room, praying, believing.

400
00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:54,800
Speaker 2: He asked me to run home and get his running

401
00:21:54,800 --> 00:21:58,280
Speaker 2: shoes and put them by the bed. I thought, I

402
00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:00,480
Speaker 2: don't know, Daddy, You're not gonna be needing these shoes

403
00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:01,160
Speaker 2: for a long time.

404
00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:03,960
Speaker 1: This surgery is a big deal. But he wanted those

405
00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:05,160
Speaker 1: shoes there to.

406
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:07,919
Speaker 2: Show that he was planning to get well, that he

407
00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:13,080
Speaker 2: would be running again, healthy and whole. He was making rooms, saying,

408
00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:17,359
Speaker 2: this is not the end. Healing is coming, Restoration is coming.

409
00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:20,440
Speaker 2: I will run and not be weary. He came out

410
00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:23,840
Speaker 2: of that surgery lived many more years, healthy and whole,

411
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:27,399
Speaker 2: traveling the world. What's taking up space in your thinking?

412
00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:30,560
Speaker 2: Is there any room for God to do something bigger,

413
00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:34,600
Speaker 2: to heal you, to free you, to bring the right

414
00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:38,040
Speaker 2: person to use you in a greater way. God is

415
00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:41,719
Speaker 2: looking for capacity, He's looking for people who are stretching,

416
00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:46,480
Speaker 2: who are believing for bigger things? When Jesus was about

417
00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:49,240
Speaker 2: to be born, there was a senses and everyone had

418
00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:53,400
Speaker 2: to travel back to their hometown. Joseph and Mary traveled

419
00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:55,720
Speaker 2: by donkey eighty miles to Bethlehem.

420
00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:58,520
Speaker 1: Was late at night. They were tired.

421
00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:03,399
Speaker 2: Mary was nine months pregnant. Joseph saw this end a

422
00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:06,199
Speaker 2: place to stay in. He knocked on the door and

423
00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:09,040
Speaker 2: told the innkeeper, Hey, my wife's pregnant.

424
00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:11,879
Speaker 1: We traveled a long way. We need a room.

425
00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:16,159
Speaker 2: She's about to have a baby. The innkeeper said, I'm sorry,

426
00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:17,639
Speaker 2: there's no room.

427
00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:18,720
Speaker 1: We're full.

428
00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:22,760
Speaker 2: He turned and started to walk away, and I can

429
00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:25,240
Speaker 2: hear Joseph saying, hey, wait a minute, sir. You got

430
00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:27,760
Speaker 2: to understand this is no ordinary child.

431
00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:31,280
Speaker 1: This is something special. The hand of God is on

432
00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:34,680
Speaker 1: our baby. The innkeeper says, yeah, all right, I told

433
00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:38,000
Speaker 1: you we don't have any room. Shut the door went away.

434
00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:43,119
Speaker 2: Imagine thirty years later, that innkeeper begins to hear about

435
00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:47,080
Speaker 2: this man named Jesus, how he's healing the sickond opening

436
00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:50,760
Speaker 2: blind eyes, feeding the multitudes, all this news about his

437
00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:55,160
Speaker 2: miracles and his influence. Suddenly the innkeeper has a flashback.

438
00:23:55,840 --> 00:24:00,280
Speaker 2: He sees Mary and Joseph and realizes that's the young

439
00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:03,520
Speaker 2: couple that came to the end that night. He is

440
00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:06,640
Speaker 2: the man that was asking me for a place to stay.

441
00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:09,679
Speaker 2: Had I known this baby was going to change the world,

442
00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:13,040
Speaker 2: had I known what God was offering me, I would

443
00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:16,080
Speaker 2: have made room. I would have moved things around. I

444
00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:18,520
Speaker 2: would have let them stay in my own quarters. If

445
00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:22,199
Speaker 2: I'd known, I could be a part of history. And

446
00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:23,760
Speaker 2: the truth is the innkeeper.

447
00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:27,640
Speaker 1: He wasn't a bad person. He wasn't being mean. He

448
00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:28,359
Speaker 1: was just full.

449
00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:32,760
Speaker 2: He was busy, he was practical. This is the way

450
00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:36,160
Speaker 2: it always works. We can't make an adjustment. We don't

451
00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:37,959
Speaker 2: have any room.

452
00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:41,160
Speaker 1: Most people are not bad people. They're just full.

453
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:46,520
Speaker 2: Life is busy. They're distracted. They've got sports on Sunday.

454
00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:48,840
Speaker 2: They're too tired to get up in the morning and

455
00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:50,400
Speaker 2: thank God for his goodness.

456
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:54,159
Speaker 1: They don't recognize who's knocking now.

457
00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:58,160
Speaker 2: I wonder if we're missing blessings because there's no room

458
00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:02,880
Speaker 2: in our n not seeing the favor, the destiny moments,

459
00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:07,720
Speaker 2: because our end is full, the doubt, the hurts, things

460
00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:09,680
Speaker 2: people have said, how we were raised.

461
00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:13,880
Speaker 1: When destiny comes knocking. Sorry, I can't do.

462
00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:17,199
Speaker 2: That I'm not that qualified. I got these friends I

463
00:25:17,240 --> 00:25:20,359
Speaker 2: want to hang around with. No make room in your inn.

464
00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:25,320
Speaker 2: God is about to come knocking with something unusual, something

465
00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:30,040
Speaker 2: far and beyond. But it may look ordinary, it may

466
00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:34,119
Speaker 2: seem common, just another couple needing a place to stay.

467
00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:37,040
Speaker 1: Don't miss your destiny moments.

468
00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:40,879
Speaker 2: God wants to use you to make a greater impact,

469
00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:43,480
Speaker 2: to be an example of his goodness.

470
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:45,280
Speaker 1: But you have to do your part.

471
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:48,760
Speaker 2: Empty out all the things that are cluttering your mind

472
00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:55,960
Speaker 2: and cluttering your life. The people, the distractions, social media, comparisons,

473
00:25:56,440 --> 00:25:58,200
Speaker 2: that's taking up valuable space.

474
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:00,000
Speaker 1: Create some capacity.

475
00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:04,520
Speaker 2: Go grab some empty vessels, not a few, but in

476
00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:05,600
Speaker 2: large your vision.

477
00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:09,600
Speaker 1: Believe for the dreams God whispered in your spirit.

478
00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:13,320
Speaker 2: You wouldn't be hearing this if God wasn't about to

479
00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:14,960
Speaker 2: do something you've never seen.

480
00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:18,880
Speaker 1: The question is is there any room in your end?

481
00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:21,960
Speaker 1: Are you creating any space for victory?

482
00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:26,280
Speaker 2: If you'll open your mouth wide, I believe and declare

483
00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:30,119
Speaker 2: God is about to fill it, not with beings and rice,

484
00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:36,360
Speaker 2: but faid us, blessings, promotion, breakthroughs, the fullness of your

485
00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:40,760
Speaker 2: destiny in Jesus's name, And if you receive it, can

486
00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:44,760
Speaker 2: you say amen, I'd like to give you an opportunity

487
00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:47,000
Speaker 2: to make Jesus the Lord of your life.

488
00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:50,880
Speaker 1: Would't you pray with me? Just say Lord, Jesus, I'll

489
00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:54,920
Speaker 1: repent of my sins. Come into my heart. I make

490
00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:56,560
Speaker 1: you my Lord and Savior.

491
00:26:57,280 --> 00:26:59,560
Speaker 2: If you prayed that simple prayer, we believe you got

492
00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:02,720
Speaker 2: born again. We'd love to send you some free information

493

Speaker 1: To the website.

496
00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:10,760
Speaker 2: But I hope you'll get into a good Bible based

497
00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:15,280
Speaker 2: church and keep God first place. Many people believe that

498
00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:18,760
Speaker 2: God can heal, but when nothing is improving our prayers

499
00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:21,800
Speaker 2: are not being answered, it's easy to think, will God

500
00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:22,240
Speaker 2: heal me?

501
00:27:23,080 --> 00:27:25,480
Speaker 1: The truth is God still loves to heal.

502
00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:29,600
Speaker 2: I've witnessed God's healing power firsthand in my own family.

503
00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:34,320
Speaker 2: When situations seemed impossible and medically speaking, there were no options,

504
00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:37,240
Speaker 2: God stepped in and made away. Now I love to

505
00:27:37,280 --> 00:27:40,359

Speaker 2: faith and help you believe for healing even when you

508
00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:50,679
Speaker 2: can't see it. God is still working as you stand

509
00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:52,520
Speaker 2: firm and declare his promises.

510
00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:53,920
