1
00:00:01,160 --> 00:00:02,840
Speaker 1: What a joy to be with you today.

2
00:00:02,920 --> 00:00:05,280
Speaker 2: If we're praying for you and your family, I know

3
00:00:05,360 --> 00:00:08,360
Speaker 2: God has great things in store. You wouldn't be alive

4
00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:10,879
Speaker 2: if there weren't more victories in front of you. So

5
00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:13,440
Speaker 2: now that we love you, we're praying for you, and hey,

6
00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:15,200
Speaker 2: I hope you'll stay tuned to the very end. We've

7
00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:19,600
Speaker 2: got some special resources to help you stay encouraged and inspired. Well,

8
00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:22,639
Speaker 2: God bless you. It's a joy to come into your homes.

9
00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:25,320
Speaker 2: And if you're ever in our area, please stop by

10
00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:27,600
Speaker 2: and be a part of one of our services. I

11
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:31,120
Speaker 2: promise you we'll make you feel right at home. I

12
00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:33,480
Speaker 2: like to start with something funny, and I heard about

13
00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:36,960
Speaker 2: this mother. She had two young boys that were known

14
00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:41,960
Speaker 2: for their mischievous behavior. Anytime trouble occurred, they were certain

15
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:44,760
Speaker 2: to be a part. She decided to take them one

16
00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:48,040
Speaker 2: at a time to see their pastor. The pastor said

17
00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:51,360
Speaker 2: to the first young boy, son, where is God? He

18
00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:55,280
Speaker 2: sat there silently. He asked again, where is God? Still

19
00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:58,560
Speaker 2: no reply. The third time the pastor asked, the young

20
00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:01,360
Speaker 2: boy bolted out the door, ran home and said to

21
00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:05,120
Speaker 2: his brother, God is missing. And they think we did it.

22
00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:08,760
Speaker 2: Say it like you mean it. This is my Bible.

23
00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:11,480
Speaker 2: I am what it says I am. I have what

24
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:14,040
Speaker 2: it says I have. I can do what it says

25
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:16,720
Speaker 2: I can do. Today I will be taught the word

26
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:20,720
Speaker 2: of God. I boldly confess. My mind is alert, my

27
00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:25,119
Speaker 2: heart is receptive. I will never be the same. In Jesus' name,

28
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:28,919
Speaker 2: God bless you. I want to talk to you today

29
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:33,480
Speaker 2: about ease is coming. We all go through seasons of

30
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:38,319
Speaker 2: struggle when it feels like it's uphill. There's pressure raising children.

31
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:41,440
Speaker 2: Maybe you're believing for your health to improve, but it's

32
00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:45,400
Speaker 2: not getting better. Too often we get discouraged and think

33
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:49,360
Speaker 2: that's just the way life is. In Matthew chapter eleven,

34
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:53,680
Speaker 2: Jesus talked about how the Kingdom of Heaven suffers violence

35
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:56,840
Speaker 2: and you have to take it by force. He was

36
00:01:56,920 --> 00:02:00,240
Speaker 2: telling us there will be seasons where you have to

37
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:03,160
Speaker 2: stand strong and really fight the good fight of faith.

38
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:07,720
Speaker 2: But a few verses later in the same chapter, he said,

39
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 2: my yoke is easy and my burden is light. He

40
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:17,559
Speaker 2: was saying there will be times of struggle, pressure, difficulties,

41
00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:21,880
Speaker 2: but don't get discouraged. That's not permanent. What I'm putting

42
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:26,440
Speaker 2: on you. My yoke it's easy, it's light. You may

43
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:30,080
Speaker 2: be struggling now, you feel pressured. You think that's the

44
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:33,000
Speaker 2: way it's always going to be. You'll always struggle with

45
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:37,359
Speaker 2: your health, struggle in a relationship, struggle in your finances. No,

46
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:40,680
Speaker 2: you're going to come in to an anointing of ease.

47
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:44,359
Speaker 2: And when you come into this ease, what once was

48
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:48,000
Speaker 2: a struggle won't be a struggle anymore. You're going to

49
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:52,200
Speaker 2: have a supernatural grace of favor that will lighten the

50
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:55,640
Speaker 2: load and take the pressure off. God is going to

51
00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:59,400
Speaker 2: make your life easier. He said, he would go before

52
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:03,720
Speaker 2: you and make your crooked places straight. That means he's

53
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:07,800
Speaker 2: going to smooth things out. You're coming into a season

54
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:11,240
Speaker 2: where things are going to fall into place. You're going

55
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:14,880
Speaker 2: to get breaks that you didn't see coming. Problems that

56
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:18,160
Speaker 2: you thought were permanent are suddenly going to turn around.

57
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 2: You are not going to go through life constantly struggling, pressured,

58
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:27,280
Speaker 2: weighted down by problems. This is a new day. Ease

59
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:31,880
Speaker 2: is coming, David said. God anoints my head with oil.

60
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:37,200
Speaker 2: Oil makes things flow. When there's friction, things that are stuck.

61
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:40,520
Speaker 2: Oil is used to lubricate it to make it more fluid.

62
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 2: God is going to oil your life. This anointing is

63
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 2: going to cause things to be easier. You're going to

64
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 2: accomplish more with less effort. What stopped you in the past,

65
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:56,520
Speaker 2: what's caused friction, is not going to stop you anymore.

66
00:03:56,600 --> 00:04:00,880
Speaker 2: You're going to flow right past that. You're english goals

67
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:04,480
Speaker 2: and think that was easier than I thought, never dreamed

68
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 2: it happened that quickly. That's this anointing of ease. There's

69
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 2: a large company that has a slogan that says that

70
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:15,120
Speaker 2: was easy. A few years ago, a friend of mine

71
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 2: sent me their big red button. When you push it,

72
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 2: it says that was easy. Now. I keep this by

73
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:26,360
Speaker 2: my bathroom sink there on the counter. Every so often

74
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:29,520
Speaker 2: I reach over and push this button. I like to

75
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:32,839
Speaker 2: get that phrase down in my spirit because it's easy

76
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 2: to go through life looking at our problems, focus on

77
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:38,599
Speaker 2: our obstacles, thinking, oh man, this is going to be

78
00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:41,560
Speaker 2: so hard. I dread dealing with this. It's never going

79
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:46,080
Speaker 2: to work out. That's mindset is not only stealing our joy,

80
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:49,760
Speaker 2: but it's keeping us from seeing God's favor. When my

81
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:51,719
Speaker 2: dad went to be with the Lord and I first

82
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:55,880
Speaker 2: started ministering, it took everything I had to write a

83
00:04:55,920 --> 00:05:00,880
Speaker 2: message for that weekend, all my focus, my creativity, my energy.

84
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:06,120
Speaker 2: I was pressured, stressed. When I finally finished, I felt

85
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:08,240
Speaker 2: like that's the last one that I could ever do.

86
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:11,960
Speaker 2: And if I wasn't careful, I was tempted to dread

87
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:14,800
Speaker 2: it and think this is too hard. I'm not going

88
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:17,200
Speaker 2: to know what to say. I can't do this anymore.

89
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:20,720
Speaker 2: I had to turn it around. Father, Thank you that

90
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:23,880
Speaker 2: your yoke is easy. Thank you that I'm well able.

91
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:27,599
Speaker 2: Thank you that you've equipped me and empowered me. I

92
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:31,160
Speaker 2: got my mind going in the right direction. I went

93
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:35,520
Speaker 2: through seasons of struggle, strained, difficulty, but I didn't let

94
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:39,360
Speaker 2: it become permanent in my thinking. One day I came

95
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:43,279
Speaker 2: into this anointing of ease. What once was a struggle

96
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:46,840
Speaker 2: is not a struggle anymore. Every week when I finish

97
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:50,440
Speaker 2: a message, I hit this button just to remind me

98
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:54,839
Speaker 2: that it was easy. Quit telling yourself this is so hard.

99
00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:59,000
Speaker 2: I'll never accomplish my dreams, I'll never get out of debt.

100
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:01,880
Speaker 2: This is a new day. You are going to have

101
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:05,920
Speaker 2: a strength that you did not have before. God did

102
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:10,240
Speaker 2: not create you to struggle your whole life. His yoke

103
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:13,320
Speaker 2: is easy. You may have had that addiction for a

104
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:16,440
Speaker 2: long time. It's going to be easier than you think.

105
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:19,560
Speaker 2: To break it. You're going to have a supernatural power.

106
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:23,840
Speaker 2: Maybe you're struggling in your finances, pressure to pay the bills,

107
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:27,479
Speaker 2: pressure to get ahead. I believe that pressure is coming

108
00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:30,719
Speaker 2: to an end. God is going to cause good breaks

109
00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:34,280
Speaker 2: to find you. New doors are going to open. Your

110
00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:36,400
Speaker 2: gifts and talents are going to come out in a

111
00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:39,320
Speaker 2: new way. It's going to be easier than you think.

112
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:42,200
Speaker 2: A couple of years after I wrote my first book,

113
00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:46,480
Speaker 2: a man was walking by Madison Square Garden one evening

114
00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:49,600
Speaker 2: there in New York. He was an executive at one

115
00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 2: of the largest publishing companies in the world. He saw

116
00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:56,080
Speaker 2: my name on the marquee and people waiting in line

117
00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:58,840
Speaker 2: to get in. He'd never heard of me, and he

118
00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:01,479
Speaker 2: went home and did some re search. He called my

119
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:04,599
Speaker 2: literary agent and said that he wanted to publish my

120
00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:07,680
Speaker 2: next book. She told him that we already had a

121
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:11,280
Speaker 2: publisher and we were happy. He asked if he could

122
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:14,320
Speaker 2: make an offer. She said, of course you can. He

123
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:18,840
Speaker 2: offered an amount more than I ever imagined. When she

124
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:22,680
Speaker 2: called and told me, I nearly passed out. I said, boy,

125
00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:26,160
Speaker 2: you sure do great work. She said, actually, Joel, I

126
00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:29,600
Speaker 2: didn't go to him, he came to me. I thought

127
00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:34,560
Speaker 2: to myself, that was easy. That was God lining up

128
00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:37,800
Speaker 2: the right people, having him at the right place at

129
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:41,720
Speaker 2: the right time. If he had not left work late

130
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:44,679
Speaker 2: that night, he wouldn't have seen those people in line.

131
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:48,440
Speaker 2: If he had not taken that train home, he wouldn't

132
00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:51,480
Speaker 2: have been in that area. If he had have been preoccupied,

133
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:54,320
Speaker 2: he could have walked by the arena just thought it's

134
00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:57,880
Speaker 2: another ballgame, another concert. All these things had to fall

135
00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:02,080
Speaker 2: perfectly into place. Was the hand of God making my

136
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:06,480
Speaker 2: life easier. God has the right people lined up for you.

137
00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:10,440
Speaker 2: He has the right breaks, the right opportunities. You may

138
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:14,040
Speaker 2: not have seen it, yet you keep honoring God being

139
00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:17,600
Speaker 2: your best. He's going to take you into overflowd You

140
00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:21,240
Speaker 2: are not going to go through life pressured by bills,

141
00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:25,120
Speaker 2: pressured to make ends meet, pressure to send your children

142
00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:30,280
Speaker 2: to college. God is going to do something unusual, something unexpected,

143
00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:33,680
Speaker 2: something that you couldn't make happen. I know a single

144
00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:38,240
Speaker 2: parent mother. She was working hard, raising her children, trying

145
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:41,640
Speaker 2: to make ends meet. Every month, she barely had enough

146
00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:45,280
Speaker 2: to pay her bills. She told how she dreamed of

147
00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:49,440
Speaker 2: taking a vacation, but every time she saved up extra funds,

148
00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:52,920
Speaker 2: something would break that had to be repaired. She was

149
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:56,480
Speaker 2: being her best, but couldn't get ahead. It seemed like

150
00:08:56,559 --> 00:08:59,880
Speaker 2: she would struggle her whole life. When you keep doing

151
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:03,600
Speaker 2: the right thing, you keep passing these tests, you're going

152
00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:07,560
Speaker 2: to come in to this anointing of ease. God is

153
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:10,720
Speaker 2: going to make things happen that will lighten the load.

154
00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:14,280
Speaker 2: He's going to take the pressure off. One day, her

155
00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:19,559
Speaker 2: supervisor unexpectedly took an early retirement and she was given

156
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:24,120
Speaker 2: that position. With it came a significant increase in salary.

157
00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:29,880
Speaker 2: She was very grateful. Several years later, her manager, one

158
00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:34,160
Speaker 2: of the vice presidents of this large company, suddenly resigned

159
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:37,960
Speaker 2: and she was given that position. Today, she makes more

160
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:42,199
Speaker 2: than ten times what she made when she started. She

161
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:47,000
Speaker 2: doesn't live under constant pressure. She can take vacations whenever

162
00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:51,880
Speaker 2: she wants. She supports other single parent families. She said, Joel,

163
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:55,320
Speaker 2: I don't really know how this happened. Everything just fell

164
00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:58,439
Speaker 2: into place and here I am. What she is really

165
00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:02,120
Speaker 2: saying was that was easy. That's what God is going

166
00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:04,319
Speaker 2: to do for you. He's going to put you at

167
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:07,200
Speaker 2: the right place at the right time. He's going to

168
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:10,440
Speaker 2: open doors that no man can shut. He's going to

169
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:13,800
Speaker 2: cause people to want to be good to you. You

170
00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:17,319
Speaker 2: may be struggling in some areas, but don't get discouraged.

171
00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:28,600
Speaker 2: That is not permanent. Ease is coming. I talked to

172
00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:32,000
Speaker 2: a young man. He was finishing up his Masters. He

173
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:35,920
Speaker 2: had one final exam left. It was the hardest class

174
00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:38,480
Speaker 2: on his schedule, and he is very stressed out and

175
00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:41,760
Speaker 2: concerned that he wasn't going to pass. And we prayed

176
00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:43,760
Speaker 2: and asked God to give him wisdom to help him

177
00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:47,600
Speaker 2: to excel. He came back last week so excited he

178
00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:50,640
Speaker 2: had passed the test. Now I asked him, how was it.

179
00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:54,360
Speaker 2: He said, it's funny because all of my classmates thought

180
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:58,120
Speaker 2: it was very difficult, but to me, it was easier

181
00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:02,520
Speaker 2: than I expected. He did his part, he studied, he prepared.

182
00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:06,480
Speaker 2: Then God stepped in and made it easier than he thought.

183
00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:11,480
Speaker 2: Quit thinking I'll never pass, I'll never get out of debt.

184
00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:16,120
Speaker 2: This is too hard. Sometimes we're expecting to fail, we're

185
00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:19,680
Speaker 2: expecting to struggle, we're expecting it to be difficult. Turn

186
00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:22,840
Speaker 2: it around. Father, Thank you for your anointing of ease.

187
00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:25,880
Speaker 2: Thank you that you're causing me to excel. Thank you

188
00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:29,840
Speaker 2: that you're breathing in my direction. Some of the things

189
00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:32,440
Speaker 2: that you're worrying about. You don't see how it could

190
00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:35,520
Speaker 2: ever work out. It's not going to be what you think.

191
00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:39,320
Speaker 2: God is going before you right now, making those crooked

192
00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:41,960
Speaker 2: places straight. You're going to look back like him and

193
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:45,760
Speaker 2: say it was easier than I thought. The Book of

194
00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:49,720
Speaker 2: First Samuel, the Philistines had just defeated the Israelites in

195
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:53,559
Speaker 2: a battle. They captured the Ark of the Covenant. That's

196
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:56,920
Speaker 2: where the presence of God was back then. The Israelites

197
00:11:56,960 --> 00:12:01,760
Speaker 2: were so distraught. When the prophet Eli heard this bad news,

198
00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:06,160
Speaker 2: he passed out, fell backwards, and broke his neck. All

199
00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:09,400
Speaker 2: of Israel was in mourning. They had not only lost

200
00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:13,320
Speaker 2: the Ark of the Covenant, their most important possession, but

201
00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:17,240
Speaker 2: thirty thousand men had been killed in that battle. It

202
00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:20,920
Speaker 2: looked like the Ark was gone forever. The Philistines took

203
00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:24,040
Speaker 2: the Ark to their temple and placed it next to

204
00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:28,760
Speaker 2: their god, Dagone. He was a stone statue that they worshiped.

205
00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:32,920
Speaker 2: In the middle of the night, Dagon fell over. They

206
00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:35,760
Speaker 2: thought it was a coincidence, maybe the wind or something.

207
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:39,360
Speaker 2: They stood him back up. The next night, Dagon not

208
00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:43,640
Speaker 2: only fell over, this time he broke into pieces. They

209
00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:48,680
Speaker 2: realized their god couldn't stand in the presence of Israel's god.

210
00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:54,040
Speaker 2: Plegues began to break out in the camp. People started

211
00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:58,560
Speaker 2: getting boils and tumors. They finally realized, it's because we

212
00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:01,680
Speaker 2: have the Ark of the c it. They decided to

213
00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:04,400
Speaker 2: move it to another city just to make sure the

214
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:08,920
Speaker 2: same plegus and boils started afflicting those people. They panicked

215
00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:11,079
Speaker 2: and said, we have to get rid of this arc.

216
00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:15,280
Speaker 2: We can't mess with the God of Israel. Seven months

217
00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:19,280
Speaker 2: after they captured it, they built this wood carp, placed

218
00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:21,679
Speaker 2: the Ark of the Covenant on it, hooked it up

219
00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:25,240
Speaker 2: to two young cows. They turned it loose and let

220
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:28,880
Speaker 2: those cows go wherever they wanted. They started heading straight

221
00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:32,760
Speaker 2: toward the Israelites camp in a few days. When the

222
00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:36,640
Speaker 2: Israelites saw the Arc coming, they couldn't believe their eyes.

223
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:40,880
Speaker 2: They started celebrating. They never dreamed they would see the

224
00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:44,679
Speaker 2: Ark again. They not only got it back, but they

225
00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:47,960
Speaker 2: didn't have to fight for it. The Arc came looking

226
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:50,400
Speaker 2: for them. If they would have had one of these

227
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:53,440
Speaker 2: red buttons. They would have pushed it. That was easy.

228
00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:58,200
Speaker 2: But during those seven months, I'm sure the Israelites came

229
00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:02,000
Speaker 2: up with plans and strategy how to get the art back.

230
00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:05,520
Speaker 2: They had lost thousands of men. They knew they were

231
00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:09,240
Speaker 2: going to lose more. Then they saw the cows come

232
00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:13,400
Speaker 2: walking up. Suddenly their life got much easier. They were

233
00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:17,559
Speaker 2: so relieved. Some of the things that you're worrying about,

234
00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:19,640
Speaker 2: trying to figure out how it's going to work out,

235
00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:21,640
Speaker 2: how you're going to get well, how you're going to

236
00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:23,960
Speaker 2: get out of debt, how your family's going to be restored.

237
00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:27,320
Speaker 2: God is going to do for you what he did

238
00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:31,479
Speaker 2: for them. He's going to cause those things to find you.

239
00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:34,120
Speaker 2: You're not going to have to fight those battles. Good

240
00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:37,880
Speaker 2: breaks are going to come after you. The right people

241
00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:40,880
Speaker 2: are going to search you out. What you're believing for

242
00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:44,240
Speaker 2: is going to track you down. God is saying, get ready,

243
00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:48,000
Speaker 2: the cows are coming. What belongs to you is headed

244
00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:51,960
Speaker 2: your way, the health, the freedom, the abundance, the contracts,

245
00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:55,240
Speaker 2: the spouse. God is going to make things happen that

246
00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:58,680
Speaker 2: you could have never made happen. Those cows could have

247
00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:03,360
Speaker 2: stayed there grazing. They could have wandered aimlessly month after month.

248
00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:09,400
Speaker 2: But God controls the universe. That means God controls the cows.

249
00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:12,960
Speaker 2: He knows how to get what's yours into your hands.

250
00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:17,320
Speaker 2: People can't stop him. Bad breaks can't stop him. Cows

251
00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:21,480
Speaker 2: can't stop him. Enemies can't stop him. The Philistines took

252
00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:25,200
Speaker 2: the art, but I love the fact they couldn't keep it.

253
00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:28,880
Speaker 2: It made them miserable. That tells me nobody can keep

254
00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:34,200
Speaker 2: what belongs to you. The enemy may take your health

255
00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:37,480
Speaker 2: for a little while, but he can't keep it doesn't

256
00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:41,200
Speaker 2: belong to him. You are God's property. God will send

257
00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:45,960
Speaker 2: it back. He may distract your child, get them off

258
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:49,000
Speaker 2: course for a season, but he can't keep them there.

259
00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:54,120
Speaker 2: Quit worrying, quit losing sleep. They're coming back. He may

260
00:15:54,160 --> 00:16:00,680
Speaker 2: have taken your dream temporarily, had bad breaks, disappointments, Stay encouraged.

261
00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:03,640
Speaker 2: What has your name on it is going to find you.

262
00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:08,240
Speaker 2: Some of you. Your cows are going to show up

263
00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:13,400
Speaker 2: sooner than you think. What you thought was over and done,

264
00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:16,760
Speaker 2: it would never work out. Suddenly things are going to

265
00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:20,520
Speaker 2: fall into place. You don't have to fight, you don't

266
00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:24,040
Speaker 2: have to struggle, Just get up every morning, father, think

267
00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:28,520
Speaker 2: you that my cows are coming. Isaiah said to the Israelites,

268
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:33,880
Speaker 2: your swords will be turned into plowshares, your spears into

269
00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:38,480
Speaker 2: pruning hooks. God was saying, you're coming into a season

270
00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:42,080
Speaker 2: where you're not going to need your swords and your spears.

271
00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:45,000
Speaker 2: You're not going to have to fight, not going to

272
00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:48,480
Speaker 2: have to struggle, try to make things happen. Instead of

273
00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:51,760
Speaker 2: a sword, you're going to need a plow together of

274
00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:56,280
Speaker 2: the harvest. You can put down your spears. You're not

275
00:16:56,320 --> 00:16:58,960
Speaker 2: going to have to go attack, try to get back

276
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:03,080
Speaker 2: what belongs to you. God is fighting your battles. He's

277
00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:07,280
Speaker 2: putting pressure on those that have what's yours. You need

278
00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:10,200
Speaker 2: to get ready, not for a fight, not for a battle,

279
00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:13,440
Speaker 2: Get ready for a harvest, Get ready for a breakthrough,

280
00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:17,320
Speaker 2: get ready for healing. You're coming in to this season

281
00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:21,160
Speaker 2: of ease. Have a friend that I grew up with,

282
00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:24,800
Speaker 2: that struggled with an addiction for a long time, got

283
00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:27,439
Speaker 2: mixed up with the wrong students in high school, and

284
00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:31,040
Speaker 2: twenty years later he was still addicted. He'd gone through

285
00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:34,280
Speaker 2: rehab and all kinds of treatment, but it never worked.

286
00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:39,199
Speaker 2: Like the Israelites, he looked defeated. That addiction looks so

287
00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:42,560
Speaker 2: much bigger, like nothing he could ever do. I saw

288
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:46,080
Speaker 2: him a couple of years ago. He told how after

289
00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:50,119
Speaker 2: twenty one years of being addicted, he is now totally free.

290
00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:53,960
Speaker 2: He looks better than he looked in high school. Skin

291
00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:56,600
Speaker 2: had cleared up, he gained some weight, had a smile

292
00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:59,960
Speaker 2: on his face. I asked him how he did it.

293
00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:03,280
Speaker 2: I thought he went through some type of special rehab,

294
00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:07,080
Speaker 2: he said, Joel, I didn't do anything different. I can't

295
00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:09,560
Speaker 2: really put my finger on it. It was just like

296
00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:13,560
Speaker 2: something broke on the inside. Now I felt a shrimp

297
00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:18,560
Speaker 2: that I'd never felt before. What was that God causing

298
00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:22,600
Speaker 2: his cows to find him. God gave him the victory

299
00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:27,199
Speaker 2: without him having to fight. Friends, Freedom belongs to you,

300
00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:32,000
Speaker 2: Wholeness belongs to you. Quit believing those lies that you're

301
00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:35,640
Speaker 2: stuck you'll never get well. It's been too long, it's

302
00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:39,000
Speaker 2: too hard. This is a new day. That yoke of

303
00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:42,760
Speaker 2: bondage is being broken. You're getting a new yoke, a

304
00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:46,320
Speaker 2: yoke of ease, a yoke of freedom, a yoke of victory.

305
00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:51,199
Speaker 2: You're going to break habits that looked permanent. It's not

306
00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:54,159
Speaker 2: going to happen. Just by your might, by your power.

307
00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:57,600
Speaker 2: It's going to happen because the Most High God is

308
00:18:57,640 --> 00:19:01,359
Speaker 2: breathing in your direction. It may have been difficult in

309
00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:05,000
Speaker 2: the past. You tried and it didn't work out. Try again.

310
00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:09,320
Speaker 2: You're in a new season, You've come into harvest. You

311
00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:11,919
Speaker 2: can put those swords down. You don't have to do

312
00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:14,760
Speaker 2: it in your own strength. God is fighting your battles.

313
00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:19,679
Speaker 2: Dare to declare, I am free, I am whole, I

314
00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:23,679
Speaker 2: am victorious like this man. God is going to surprise you.

315
00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:27,720
Speaker 2: What you thought would never turn around. Suddenly you're going

316
00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:31,640
Speaker 2: to see it happen. Several years before my father went

317
00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:34,440
Speaker 2: to be with the Lord, we came across a construction

318
00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:38,560
Speaker 2: permit for the last full power television station in Houston.

319
00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:42,520
Speaker 2: The transmitter was going to be out north. We needed

320
00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:45,639
Speaker 2: a place to put the station here in the city.

321
00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:48,600
Speaker 2: A few months earlier, a man had called me out

322
00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:51,879
Speaker 2: of the blue, left a message saying that he was

323
00:19:51,960 --> 00:19:55,200
Speaker 2: in commercial real estate that if we ever needed anything,

324
00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:59,160
Speaker 2: he would love to help. Normally I would have erased that.

325
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:03,080
Speaker 2: I thought much about it, just another sales call. But

326
00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:06,040
Speaker 2: for some reason I wrote his name and number down

327
00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:10,119
Speaker 2: put it in my desk drawer. Never realizing in a

328
00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:12,520
Speaker 2: few months we were going to need a place to

329
00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:15,840
Speaker 2: put the station. I called him. It was like we

330
00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:19,439
Speaker 2: were old friends. He was so likable. He took us

331
00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:23,520
Speaker 2: to different office buildings. They were nice, but our challenge

332
00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:27,159
Speaker 2: was we needed a cell phone tower close by so

333
00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:31,240
Speaker 2: we could microwave our signal down to the transmitter site.

334
00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:34,360
Speaker 2: We looked for several weeks and couldn't find anything. One

335
00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:37,919
Speaker 2: day he took us to this big office complex about

336
00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:43,000
Speaker 2: fifty acres, very beautiful trees and lakes. There were new

337
00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:46,959
Speaker 2: owners and they were very excited about the possibility of

338
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:50,320
Speaker 2: having a television station there. They told us we would

339
00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:53,440
Speaker 2: be their main tenants. They would give us the signage

340
00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:57,840
Speaker 2: out front. They showed us offices overlooking this lake. They

341
00:20:57,880 --> 00:21:01,280
Speaker 2: wanted us so badly. Their price was about half of

342
00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:05,359
Speaker 2: anything we'd seen. We loved it. We wanted to be there.

343
00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:08,040
Speaker 2: The only problem was we had to see if there

344
00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:11,120
Speaker 2: was a cell phone tower close. We went on top

345
00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:14,160
Speaker 2: of the building and looked around, and we didn't see anything.

346
00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:16,639
Speaker 2: I was disappointed. I thought that would have been a

347
00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:21,959
Speaker 2: perfect location. Everyone left, but Victoria and I stayed and

348
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:25,800
Speaker 2: we walked around the property for about thirty minutes. As

349
00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:28,760
Speaker 2: we were coming up the parking lot. On the side

350
00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:32,000
Speaker 2: of the building, about forty yards from the place they

351
00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:36,359
Speaker 2: showed us, I could hear construction behind this wooden fence.

352
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:39,440
Speaker 2: I climbed up on the fence and looked over. They

353
00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:42,440
Speaker 2: were pouring a foundation. I asked one of the men

354
00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:45,480
Speaker 2: what they were building. He said, a cell phone tower.

355
00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:49,520
Speaker 2: I nearly fell off that fence. I said, is there

356
00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:52,080
Speaker 2: room for other clients? He said, yeah, it's brand new.

357
00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:55,600
Speaker 2: I called the company the next day. We had a

358
00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:59,880
Speaker 2: contract to microwave ar signal. What was that? God calls

359
00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:03,000
Speaker 2: and things to fall into place, going before us, making

360
00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:07,080
Speaker 2: crooked places straight. Well, Joel, that is just a lucky break.

361
00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:09,879
Speaker 2: Can I tell you the lucky breaks you've been having.

362
00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:13,000
Speaker 2: That's the hand of God. That's the yoke of ease.

363
00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:18,240
Speaker 2: When you recognize God's favor, when you take time to

364
00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:21,840
Speaker 2: say Lord, thank you for making my life easier, thank

365
00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:24,399
Speaker 2: you for your goodness, then you will see more of

366
00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:28,280
Speaker 2: God's favor. And what's interesting is this man. I met

367
00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:31,680
Speaker 2: this realtor when we learned that the Compact center was

368
00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:35,200
Speaker 2: coming available. He was one of the first people I called.

369
00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:39,440
Speaker 2: He worked hand in hand on our behalf with the city.

370
00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:43,520
Speaker 2: He was very instrumental in us getting this place. What

371
00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:46,320
Speaker 2: are the chances of him calling me out of the blue,

372
00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:50,240
Speaker 2: me keeping his number, him taking us to an office

373
00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:54,280
Speaker 2: building where they were building a self power. That wasn't random,

374
00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:58,240
Speaker 2: That wasn't a coincidence. That was God causing our cows

375
00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:02,160
Speaker 2: to find us. God is in control of your life.

376
00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:05,879
Speaker 2: He knows what you need and he knows how to

377
00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:09,080
Speaker 2: get it to you. Yes, we all go through seasons

378
00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:12,800
Speaker 2: of struggle, seasons of pressure and difficulty, but that is

379
00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:16,199
Speaker 2: not your permanent home. You are coming in to this

380
00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:20,359
Speaker 2: anointing of ease, like with me. You're going to see

381
00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:23,760
Speaker 2: things fall into place. You're going to know it's the

382
00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:27,679
Speaker 2: goodness of God. A friend of mine grew up very poor.

383
00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:32,800
Speaker 2: His family lived in public housing. There was crime and drugs.

384
00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:37,560
Speaker 2: His parents were migrant farmers and had no education. Didn't

385
00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:40,159
Speaker 2: look like this young man would ever amount to too much.

386
00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:43,560
Speaker 2: His mother saw that he had a love for music

387
00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:47,119
Speaker 2: and encouraged him to join the band in school. He

388
00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:50,640
Speaker 2: became one of their top tuba players. In the sixth grade,

389
00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:54,480
Speaker 2: he already stood six foot six inches tall. He was

390
00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:58,120
Speaker 2: the star player on the basketball team When he graduated

391
00:23:58,119 --> 00:24:01,480
Speaker 2: from high school, he received thirty these scholarship offers to

392
00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:05,440
Speaker 2: play in college. He was headed to the Portland Trailblazers

393
00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:09,240
Speaker 2: to play professionally when he suffered a career ending injury.

394
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:13,880
Speaker 2: He ended up back at home in the projects, no money,

395
00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:18,560
Speaker 2: no education, working for the city as a dog catcher,

396
00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:23,160
Speaker 2: making a little more than minimum wage. During his lunch hour,

397
00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:26,439
Speaker 2: he would go up to the local music store and

398
00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:30,159
Speaker 2: play the keyboards that were out on demo. Wearing his

399
00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:35,080
Speaker 2: dog catcher uniform. Customers would gather around to listen to

400
00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:39,960
Speaker 2: him play. They were mesburized at his ability. One day,

401
00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:42,800
Speaker 2: a customer told the owner she wanted to buy the

402
00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:46,959
Speaker 2: keyboard that the dog catcher was playing. This happened again

403
00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:50,520
Speaker 2: and again. The owner said to this young man, people

404
00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:54,639
Speaker 2: aren't buying my pianos, They're buying the dog catcher sound.

405
00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:58,080
Speaker 2: They love what you do. He offered him a full

406
00:24:58,119 --> 00:25:01,520
Speaker 2: time job to come in and the piano all day.

407
00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:06,000
Speaker 2: That was the first step in his musical career. Today,

408
00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:10,280
Speaker 2: my friend been Tankered has become known as the godfather

409
00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:14,639
Speaker 2: of gospel jazz. He sold millions of albums pastors. A

410
00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:19,919
Speaker 2: great chirt goes around the world cheering his music like

411
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:24,399
Speaker 2: with then, God is working behind the scenes, lining up

412
00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:28,400
Speaker 2: what you need. You're coming into a season where you're

413
00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:30,960
Speaker 2: not going to have to struggle. You're not going to

414
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:34,439
Speaker 2: have to fight. You can put those swords down. You

00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:38,400
Speaker 2: are coming into a harvest season. You're going to see

Speaker 2: the goodness of God making your life easier. You may

417
00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:46,000
Speaker 2: be in a difficult time. God is about to take

418
00:25:46,119 --> 00:25:49,359
Speaker 2: the pressure off. You're going to have a strength that

419
00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:52,240
Speaker 2: you didn't have before. People are going to go out

420
00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:54,920
Speaker 2: of their way to be good to you. That yoke

421
00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:57,679
Speaker 2: of bondage is coming off. The yoke of ease is

422
00:25:57,720 --> 00:26:00,720
Speaker 2: coming on. What's hindered you in the past is not
