Speaker 6: ever in our area. Please stop buy and be a

Speaker 6: part of one of our services. These are the finest

48
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:00,680
Speaker 6: people in all of Houston Tech. He says, right here

49
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:03,640
Speaker 6: at Lakewood, so come out when you can. But thanks

50
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 6: for tuning in today, and thank you again for being here.

51
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:09,320
Speaker 6: I like to start with something funny, and I heard

52
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:12,120
Speaker 6: about these three pastors. They were in a boat on

53
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:15,080
Speaker 6: a lake fishing one day together, and one of them said,

54
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:18,240
Speaker 6: we never get to let our hair down. Let's each

55
00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:21,240
Speaker 6: tell the area that we struggle in the most, our

56
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:22,520
Speaker 6: greatest sin, so.

57
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:23,760
Speaker 4: We can pray for each other.

58
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:26,640
Speaker 6: First man said, I hate to admit this, but I

59
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:29,519
Speaker 6: have a problem with gambling. I sneak out a lot

60
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:32,480
Speaker 6: of nights and go gamble. Second pastor said, oh, I'm

61
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 6: ashamed to admit this, but I have a problem with cheating.

62
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:39,400
Speaker 6: I hardly ever pay my taxes. Third pastor just sat

63
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 6: there silently.

64
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:42,720
Speaker 4: They waited and waited. He wouldn't budge.

65
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 6: They said, we're not getting off this boat until you

66
00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:48,520
Speaker 6: tell us your greatest sin. He said, all right, My

67
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:51,360
Speaker 6: greatest sin is gossiping, and I can't wait.

68
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:55,560
Speaker 4: To get off this boat. Say it like you mean it.

69
00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 6: This is my Bible. I am what it says I am.

70
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:01,360
Speaker 6: I have what it says I have. I can do

71
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:04,000
Speaker 6: what it says I can do today. I will be

72
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:07,720
Speaker 6: taught the word of God. I boldly confess my mind

73
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:11,120
Speaker 6: is alert, my heart is receptive. I will never be

74
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:15,880
Speaker 6: the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you. I want

75
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 6: to talk to you today about acceleration.

76
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:21,080
Speaker 4: We all have dreams that were.

77
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:24,680
Speaker 6: Believing to accomplish and problems that we're hoping will turn around.

78
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:28,480
Speaker 6: But many times, in the natural it looks like it's

79
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 6: going to take years for this to happen. Years to

80
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:34,880
Speaker 6: get out of debt, years to overcome an illness, years

81
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:38,880
Speaker 6: to reach your goal. But I've learned God doesn't always

82
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:41,040
Speaker 6: follow a natural timeline.

83
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:43,640
Speaker 4: He knows how to speed things up.

84
00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:47,000
Speaker 6: Now I can sense in my spirit that this is

85
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:51,080
Speaker 6: going to be a year of acceleration. God is going

86
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:52,560
Speaker 6: to make things happen.

87
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:53,840
Speaker 4: Quicker than you thought.

88
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:57,200
Speaker 6: In your career, it should take you twenty years to

89
00:03:57,240 --> 00:03:59,840
Speaker 6: get into management, twenty years to build.

90
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:00,960
Speaker 4: That busines business out.

91
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:04,880
Speaker 6: But in this year of acceleration, God is going to

92
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:07,360
Speaker 6: give you breaks that propel you forward.

93
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:11,560
Speaker 4: He's going to open up doors that thrust you years ahead.

94
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 6: In your finances may look like it's going to take

95
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:17,920
Speaker 6: years to get out of debt, years to pay your

96
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:22,000
Speaker 6: house off, but get ready. Acceleration is coming your way.

97
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:25,720
Speaker 6: God knows how to open the windows of heaven. One

98
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 6: good break can put you into overflow. Perhaps the medical

99
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:32,720
Speaker 6: report says it's going to take five years to get well,

100
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:37,520
Speaker 6: five years a chemo, five years of treatment. That's one timetable.

101
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:42,040
Speaker 6: But God has another timetable. He's saying, I'm going to

102
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:46,200
Speaker 6: speed up the process. I'm going to accelerate your healing,

103
00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:51,560
Speaker 6: accelerate your promotion, accelerate your dreams coming to pass. This

104
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:54,120
Speaker 6: is what the scripture says in the Book of Amos.

105
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:58,080
Speaker 6: From the message translation, things are going to happen so

106
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:03,000
Speaker 6: fast your head will swim one thing fast on the

107
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:04,040
Speaker 6: heels of the other.

108
00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:06,279
Speaker 4: You won't be able to keep up.

109
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:11,120
Speaker 6: Everything will be happening all at once everywhere you look. Blessings,

110
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:15,120
Speaker 6: this is going to be a year of what aimless prophesied.

111
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:19,599
Speaker 6: Things are going to happen so fast, healing, promotion, breakthroughs

112
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:23,680
Speaker 6: that our head will swim. The scripture talks about how

113
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:26,719
Speaker 6: God can do a quick work, and yes, I know

114
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:30,800
Speaker 6: there are times we have to be patient, seasons of waiting,

115
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:35,640
Speaker 6: passing the task, being faithful, But there are also seasons

116
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:39,680
Speaker 6: where God will do a quick work where he will accelerate,

117
00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:44,040
Speaker 6: do things so fast, so amazing that our head will swim.

118
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:46,719
Speaker 6: A few months ago, I talked to a high school

119
00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:49,880
Speaker 6: student out in the lobby after service. He's a star

120
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:54,680
Speaker 6: basketball player, big, tall young man. His dream is to

121
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:59,360
Speaker 6: play Division one basketball in college, but the only scholarships

122
00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:01,000
Speaker 6: he's been off were to.

123
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:02,400
Speaker 4: Division two schools.

124
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:05,400
Speaker 6: He was grateful, he had a great attitude about it,

125
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:06,719
Speaker 6: but he seemed torn.

126
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:08,960
Speaker 4: He asked me if he.

127
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:13,080
Speaker 6: Should decline the Division two scholarships and not settle for

128
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:15,640
Speaker 6: less than what he knew was in him, or should

129
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:18,359
Speaker 6: he take the scholarship and play at that school and

130
00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:21,960
Speaker 6: hopefully one day transfer to a Division IE level school.

131
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:24,839
Speaker 6: I wasn't sure how to advise him, so I.

132
00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:27,080
Speaker 4: Said, let me pray for you. I prayed that.

133
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:30,120
Speaker 6: God would give him wisdom, God would open the right doors,

134
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:33,080
Speaker 6: and that God would make the path easy.

135
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:36,200
Speaker 4: For him to choose. He thanked me and walked away.

136
00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:38,680
Speaker 6: About ten minutes later, when I was finishing up with

137
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:42,520
Speaker 6: the other visitors, he came back. His eyes were this wide.

138
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:46,120
Speaker 6: He said, you're not going to believe what happened. Right

139
00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:48,919
Speaker 6: when I walked away, I got a call on my

140
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:52,240
Speaker 6: cell phone. I didn't recognize the number, but when I

141
00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:55,839
Speaker 6: answered it, it was a Division one head coach asking

142
00:06:55,920 --> 00:07:00,560
Speaker 6: me to come play for him, just like Amos prop Aside.

143
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:04,640
Speaker 6: It happened so fast, his head was swimming. He didn't

144
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:06,520
Speaker 6: know what to say. He said, Joel, I just want

145
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:08,440
Speaker 6: to thank you for praying for me. He said, well,

146
00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:12,120
Speaker 6: that's the way my prayers are always answered. But the

147
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:15,360
Speaker 6: truth is, I said, don't thank me, thank him. That's

148
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:21,080
Speaker 6: the God of acceleration. That's God's feeding things up. I

149
00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:25,320
Speaker 6: believe this year, like with him, you're going to see

150
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:29,720
Speaker 6: some quick works, some unusual things, things that you've been

151
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:33,280
Speaker 6: dreaming about. Looks like it's going to take years. Suddenly

152
00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:36,040
Speaker 6: they're going to fall into place. You're gonna look up

153
00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:39,240
Speaker 6: and say, I didn't see it happening that fast. I

154
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:41,880
Speaker 6: didn't know i'd get well this quickly. I didn't know

155
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:43,880
Speaker 6: the problem would turn around that suddenly.

156
00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:47,640
Speaker 4: God wants to do some things that make our head swim.

157
00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:51,240
Speaker 6: Well, Joe, this sounds good, but I don't think it's

158
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:54,600
Speaker 6: gonna happen for me. My prayers never get answered. I

159
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:57,200
Speaker 6: never get any good breaks. Well, you're right, it won't

160
00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:02,280
Speaker 6: happen your negative attitude is canceling it out. Negative thoughts, doubt,

161
00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:07,000
Speaker 6: unbelief that ties the hands of Almighty God. God works

162
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:10,760
Speaker 6: where there's an attitude of faith, an attitude of expectancy.

163
00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:14,240
Speaker 6: Why don't you take the limits off of God? Dare

164
00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:17,640
Speaker 6: to say, God, I'm asking for you to do for

165
00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:22,520
Speaker 6: me what you promised through the prophet Amos. God, make

166
00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:27,000
Speaker 6: my head swim, Amaze me with your goodness. God, accelerate

167
00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:31,640
Speaker 6: your blessings in my life. This scripture, in another translation,

168
00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:36,160
Speaker 6: says there will come a time when the plowmen.

169
00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:37,559
Speaker 4: Will overtake the reaper.

170
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:41,640
Speaker 6: The grapes will grow faster than they can be harvested.

171
00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:45,800
Speaker 6: This is saying the time was coming when a man

172
00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:49,600
Speaker 6: would be out plowing the field, sowing the seeds, but

173
00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:53,360
Speaker 6: the harvest would come up so fast. The growth would

174
00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:56,600
Speaker 6: be so sped up that as soon as he sowed,

175
00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:58,520
Speaker 6: the harvest would pop right up.

176
00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:00,760
Speaker 4: The plowmen could keep up with it.

177
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:04,839
Speaker 6: In those days, typically the plowman would have to wait

178
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:08,040
Speaker 6: at least seven or eight months to see any kind

179
00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:11,800
Speaker 6: of harvest. But Amos said, the day is coming when

180
00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:16,960
Speaker 6: it will happen simultaneously, as soon as you sow the seed.

181
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:18,839
Speaker 4: The harvest will begin to spring forward.

182
00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:23,040
Speaker 6: I believe we are living in the day that on

183
00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:26,839
Speaker 6: Amos talked about. You're sowing the seed. You're doing the

184
00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:30,720
Speaker 6: right thing. It should take months, maybe even years, But

185
00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:33,800
Speaker 6: as you sow that seed, the harvest is already coming,

186
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:36,720
Speaker 6: blessings chasing you down fever.

187
00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:37,679
Speaker 4: That you didn't deserve.

188
00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:41,720
Speaker 6: It's not going to be the usual process. It's not

189
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:44,040
Speaker 6: going to be like it's been in the past. God

190
00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:48,200
Speaker 6: is speeding things up. A couple of years ago, I

191
00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:51,000
Speaker 6: was driving down the freeway and this friend came to

192
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:54,920
Speaker 6: mine and I knew he was having difficulties in his finances.

193
00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:58,680
Speaker 6: His job situation had changed, and I felt strongly that

194
00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 6: I was supposed to help him.

195
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:01,840
Speaker 4: I mentioned it to Victorian.

196
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:04,880
Speaker 6: She agreed, so I sent him a text saying that

197
00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:08,520
Speaker 6: we were going to send him a gift a significant amount.

198
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:12,319
Speaker 6: He was very grateful and couldn't thank me enough. We

199
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:14,720
Speaker 6: were out of town. I was going to take care

200
00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:17,000
Speaker 6: of it the next day. When I got back home.

201
00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:21,440
Speaker 6: A couple of hours later, this lady we work with called.

202
00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:25,760
Speaker 6: She said a company had just contacted her, a large,

203
00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:29,400
Speaker 6: well respected organization, and they wanted me to be a

204
00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:32,480
Speaker 6: part of a project they were working on. I didn't

205
00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:35,160
Speaker 6: have to do anything. I didn't have to go any place.

206
00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:38,520
Speaker 6: They just wanted to use my name. She said, if

207
00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:41,240
Speaker 6: you'll agree to do this, then there will make a

208
00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:45,120
Speaker 6: donation to your ministry. When she told me the amount,

209
00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:49,520
Speaker 6: my head began to swim. It was over one hundred

210
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:51,040
Speaker 6: times what I'd promised.

211
00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:52,800
Speaker 4: My friend. Here's the thing.

212
00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:55,839
Speaker 6: I hadn't even put the seed in the ground, Jeff.

213
00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:58,320
Speaker 6: I was going to write the check the next day.

214
00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:01,760
Speaker 6: But before I could put the seed in the ground,

215
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:05,800
Speaker 6: the harvest was already there. The blessing had already overtaken me.

216
00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:10,120
Speaker 6: That's what Amos said. It's going to happen simultaneously. As

217
00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:13,320
Speaker 6: you bless others, blessings are going to pop up. As

218
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:15,920
Speaker 6: you sow the seed, the harvest will already be there.

219
00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:19,400
Speaker 6: I talked to a gentleman on the phone. He'd been

220
00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:23,120
Speaker 6: addicted to drugs for over thirty two years. He'd gone

221
00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:26,240
Speaker 6: through different treatments and tried rehab, but none of that

222
00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:30,720
Speaker 6: was successful. He wasn't a religious person, didn't grow up

223
00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:31,280
Speaker 6: in church.

224
00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:34,760
Speaker 4: One day he is flipping through the channels and he.

225
00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:37,320
Speaker 6: Heard me talking about how God can help you break

226
00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:40,319
Speaker 6: an addiction. How the forces that are for you are

227
00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:43,680
Speaker 6: greater than the forces that are against you. He said

228
00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:47,280
Speaker 6: that day he felt something on the inside that he

229
00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:48,080
Speaker 6: had never felt.

230
00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:50,600
Speaker 4: He prayed a very simple prayer.

231
00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:54,120
Speaker 6: He said, God, if you're real, help me to break

232
00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:58,960
Speaker 6: this addiction. From that day forward, he never touched another drug.

233
00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:03,120
Speaker 6: He was set come completely free. Being addicted for thirty

234
00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:06,760
Speaker 6: two years, you would think that at least he would

235
00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:11,000
Speaker 6: have some kind of withdrawals, some pain suffering as his

236
00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:12,240
Speaker 6: body readjusted.

237
00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:15,560
Speaker 4: This is what Amos is talking about.

238
00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:19,160
Speaker 6: Soon as he sowed the seed, the harvest was right there.

239
00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:22,960
Speaker 6: It should have taken him months to get over, should

240
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:26,560
Speaker 6: have been a long drawn out process. But God is

241
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:30,960
Speaker 6: in the business of speeding things up. His timetable is

242
00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:35,320
Speaker 6: not a natural timetable. If you'll dare believe, God will

243
00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:40,199
Speaker 6: accelerate your harvest, accelerate your healing, accelerate the freedom.

244
00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:42,600
Speaker 4: God is in the accelerating business.

245
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:46,800
Speaker 6: One time Jesus was at a wedding. The ceremony was

246
00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:50,640
Speaker 6: just over, and they were all at this big reception afterwards.

247
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:54,640
Speaker 6: Right in the middle, they ran out of wine. There

248
00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:58,480
Speaker 6: were six stone water pots over to the side. Jesus

249
00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:00,000
Speaker 6: asked the workers.

250
00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:02,360
Speaker 4: To fill them up with water. They fill them up.

251
00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:05,280
Speaker 6: Then he said, now dip some out and take it

252
00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:08,880
Speaker 6: to the host of the party. When the host tasted

253
00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:13,000
Speaker 6: the water that was now wine, he called the bridegroom

254
00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:17,040
Speaker 6: over and said, this is amazing. Usually you serve the

255
00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:20,640
Speaker 6: best wine first. Then when everyone is full and a

256
00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:23,080
Speaker 6: little bit tipsy and doesn't know any better, you bring

257
00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:26,920
Speaker 6: out the expensive wine. But you've done just the opposite.

258
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:31,400
Speaker 6: You've saved the best wine for last. Now, normally, making

259
00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:35,000
Speaker 6: wine is a very lengthy process. Starts a course by

260
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:37,920
Speaker 6: planting the seed in the ground. The vines have to

261
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:40,240
Speaker 6: grow and eventually produce grapes.

262
00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:42,479
Speaker 4: Then when the grapes get mature.

263
00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:45,200
Speaker 6: Enough, they picked them make them into wine. But the

264
00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:48,560
Speaker 6: process from the time you plant the seed to the

265
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:51,360
Speaker 6: time you have wine is typically three.

266
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:54,120
Speaker 4: Or four years. That's just average wine.

267
00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:58,679
Speaker 6: Better quality wine can take five to seven years on

268
00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:01,559
Speaker 6: top of that to make it eat more valuable. Many

269
00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:05,040
Speaker 6: times they'll age the wine. You've seen bottoms of wine

270
00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:08,080
Speaker 6: twenty years old, thirty years old that would be considered

271
00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:09,040
Speaker 6: the best wine.

272
00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:10,920
Speaker 4: Here's my point.

273
00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:14,880
Speaker 6: The first miracle Jesus ever performed, turning water into wine

274
00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:19,600
Speaker 6: was a miracle of acceleration. What should have been a

275
00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:23,360
Speaker 6: twenty even thirty year process God did in a moment

276
00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:26,640
Speaker 6: of time. You may think I could never get to

277
00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:27,640
Speaker 6: where I'm supposed to be.

278
00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:30,520
Speaker 4: I am so far behind. No God can take what

279
00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:33,520
Speaker 4: should take you twenty years and get you there in

280
00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:34,120
Speaker 4: an instant.

281
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:38,120
Speaker 6: Maybe it should take you years to get well, But

282
00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:42,400
Speaker 6: just as God sped up the process of making wine,

283
00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:46,200
Speaker 6: God can speed up the process of you getting well.

284
00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:49,080
Speaker 6: On paper, it may say it's going to take you

285
00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:51,840
Speaker 6: thirty years to get out of debt. The good news

286
00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:55,040
Speaker 6: is God knows how to turn your water into wine.

287
00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:58,440
Speaker 6: He can take a thirty year process and do it

288
00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:02,320
Speaker 6: in a fraction of the time. Right now, God's working

289
00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:04,760
Speaker 6: behind the scenes in your life. You know what he's doing,

290
00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:08,280
Speaker 6: gathering the pots, filling up the water. The process has

291
00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:13,280
Speaker 6: already been started. Suddenly it's going to change. Suddenly you're

292
00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:16,240
Speaker 6: going to find yourself where you couldn't go on your own.

293
00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:20,240
Speaker 6: There was a lady in town from another state. Down

294
00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:23,240
Speaker 6: at the medical center. She stopped by the service and

295
00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:25,960
Speaker 6: told how she had just been put on the list

296
00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:30,640
Speaker 6: to receive a liver transplant. She was told that this

297
00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:35,000
Speaker 6: would take between three and five years. She was very concerned,

298
00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:37,640
Speaker 6: not knowing if she could even live that long.

299
00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:38,720
Speaker 4: Of course, I.

300
00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:41,320
Speaker 6: Prayed for her and encouraged her that God can heal

301
00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:45,160
Speaker 6: you with or without the transplant. Couple of months later,

302
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:48,040
Speaker 6: I saw her back at church. She had a wristband

303
00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:50,280
Speaker 6: on that I could tell she had been at the

304
00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:54,200
Speaker 6: hospital and thought maybe something was wrong. She smiled and said, Joel,

305
00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:57,120
Speaker 6: you're looking at a lady that has a brand new liver.

306
00:15:58,040 --> 00:16:00,720
Speaker 6: Two weeks after she was put on the lift, she

307
00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:02,400
Speaker 6: received a phone call.

308
00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:04,400
Speaker 4: Saying a new liver was available to her.

309
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:09,320
Speaker 6: She had the surgery, there were no complications. She said,

310
00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:11,720
Speaker 6: I feel better today than I felt when I was

311
00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:12,400
Speaker 6: a teenager.

312
00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:13,880
Speaker 4: What was that?

313
00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:17,600
Speaker 6: God turned her water into wine? What should have taken

314
00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:22,720
Speaker 6: five years, God did in a few months time. Like her,

315
00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:25,760
Speaker 6: it may look like it's going to take you years

316
00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:29,080
Speaker 6: to get well, years to get out of debt, years

317
00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:32,600
Speaker 6: to reach your goal. But don't ever rule out the

318
00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:38,000
Speaker 6: God of acceleration. He has healing favor breakthroughs that can

319
00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:42,640
Speaker 6: propel you years ahead. You may be fighting a battle

320
00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:45,880
Speaker 6: in your health. Don't believe those lies that it's never

321
00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:49,520
Speaker 6: going to get better. Your attitude should be Father, I

322
00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:53,440
Speaker 6: want to thank you that you're accelerating my healing. Thank

323
00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:55,720
Speaker 6: you that I'll get well quicker than I've been told.

324
00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:59,520
Speaker 6: Thank you that I'll defy the odds. The financial report

325
00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:03,040
Speaker 6: may say you'll never be able to afford a nice

326
00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:05,640
Speaker 6: place to live, you'll never be able to send your

327
00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:09,280
Speaker 6: children to college. Instead of letting that defeat you turn

328
00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:13,320
Speaker 6: it around. I know I serve the God of acceleration.

329
00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:16,600
Speaker 6: It may look impossible, but Lord, I want to thank

330
00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:18,320
Speaker 6: you that you're turning.

331
00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:21,679
Speaker 4: My water into wine. And yes, I know we have

332
00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:22,560
Speaker 4: to be patient.

333
00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:25,639
Speaker 6: We need to wait for God's timing, but it's also

334
00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:30,960
Speaker 6: important to believe for quick works, for acceleration. That's what

335
00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:34,400
Speaker 6: it's going to take to reach the fullness of your destiny.

336
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:37,760
Speaker 6: You're going to need some times like this, lady, where

337
00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:41,800
Speaker 6: God speeds things up, where God takes you where you could.

338
00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:42,840
Speaker 4: Not go on your own.

339
00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:47,480
Speaker 6: In the scripture, Ezekiel said, the hand of the Lord

340
00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:52,000
Speaker 6: was on me, and he carried me. That word carried

341
00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:56,840
Speaker 6: in the original language means to shoot out, to launch forward.

342
00:17:57,359 --> 00:18:02,640
Speaker 6: It implies acceleration. As God carries you through life. It's

343
00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:03,840
Speaker 6: not always going to.

344
00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:06,480
Speaker 4: Be routine predictable.

345
00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:10,199
Speaker 6: Little by little, there are times when God is carrying

346
00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:13,240
Speaker 6: you that he's going to shoot you out. He's going

347
00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:17,119
Speaker 6: to propel you years down the road. I look up

348
00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:19,000
Speaker 6: and think, how did I get to where I am?

349
00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:23,200
Speaker 4: I was working behind the scenes, minding my own business.

350
00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:23,960
Speaker 4: What happened?

351
00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:27,960
Speaker 6: God shot me out. He was carrying me, but part

352
00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:32,199
Speaker 6: of that carrying was to launch me forward. All of

353
00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:35,119
Speaker 6: you can look back and see times where God shot you.

354
00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:38,879
Speaker 6: He gave you a break that you didn't deserve. He

355
00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:41,359
Speaker 6: opened the door that you could have never opened. He

356
00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:44,840
Speaker 6: turned a problem around when you didn't see away. Now

357
00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:50,359
Speaker 6: you're healthy, happy, blessed, further along than you ever imagine.

358
00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:53,560
Speaker 4: Somebody asked you, how did you get here? So quickly?

359
00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:55,159
Speaker 4: Just tell him I got shot.

360
00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:59,159
Speaker 6: God propelled me. God promoted me. God vindicated me.

361
00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:02,520
Speaker 4: God freed me. This is what David did.

362
00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:06,560
Speaker 6: He felt like he was falling behind out in the

363
00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:08,800
Speaker 6: shepherd's fields, taking care of sheep.

364
00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:10,880
Speaker 4: Nobody paid attention to him.

365
00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:14,560
Speaker 6: He had big dreams, but he didn't have any connections.

366
00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:17,520
Speaker 4: His own father didn't really believe in him.

367
00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:21,160
Speaker 6: But all those years out in the lonely shepherd's fields,

368
00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:25,960
Speaker 6: God was carrying him one day his time came. He

369
00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:29,879
Speaker 6: went out and defeated Goliath, and overnight.

370
00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:31,639
Speaker 4: He became a national hero.

371
00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:35,880
Speaker 6: He went from being an unknown shepherd boy to being

372
00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:40,760
Speaker 6: an admired, respected leader. That should have taken him years,

373
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:43,600
Speaker 6: but God caused it to happen in a fraction of

374
00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:44,080
Speaker 6: the time.

375
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:49,720
Speaker 4: Just a few minutes of destiny. Defeating that giant propelled.

376
00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:52,600
Speaker 6: Him years down the road. What was that God shooting

377
00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:56,000
Speaker 6: him out? Well, Joel, I don't think God's ever gonna

378
00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:56,880
Speaker 6: shoot me out.

379
00:19:57,400 --> 00:19:59,879
Speaker 4: I've had a lot of bad breaks. I've gone through a.

380
00:19:59,880 --> 00:20:02,760
Speaker 6: Lo a lot of disappointments in life. Well, think of

381
00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:05,399
Speaker 6: it like this, when you have a bow and arrow,

382
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:09,160
Speaker 6: the more you pull the arrow back, the further it's

383
00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:11,399
Speaker 6: going to shoot. If you just pull it back a

384
00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:14,600
Speaker 6: little ways, no pressure, no tension, it's not going to

385
00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:15,240
Speaker 6: go very far.

386
00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:17,880
Speaker 4: The reason you've been.

387
00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:21,239
Speaker 6: Pulled back, it's not because God's trying to punish you,

388
00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:23,520
Speaker 6: not because there's nothing good in your future.

389
00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:25,800
Speaker 4: God has allowed.

390
00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:28,639
Speaker 6: You to be pulled back because He's about to shoot

391
00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:34,760
Speaker 6: you further than you can imagine. Your destiny is much

392
00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:38,679
Speaker 6: bigger than you realize. Like David, you may feel like

393
00:20:38,760 --> 00:20:44,280
Speaker 6: you're falling behind because of disappointments, bad breaks, loss, setbacks.

394
00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:46,200
Speaker 4: You don't think you could ever get.

395
00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:49,320
Speaker 6: To where you're supposed to be. Let me encourage you.

396
00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:52,760
Speaker 6: When God shoots you out. It's going to make up

397
00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:56,639
Speaker 6: for lost time. The doors God's going to open, the

398
00:20:56,720 --> 00:20:59,840
Speaker 6: people you're going to meet, the opportunities that are going

399
00:20:59,840 --> 00:21:03,639
Speaker 6: to come across your path, or going to be bigger, better,

400
00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:08,000
Speaker 6: more rewarding than you ever thought possible. When you're being

401
00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:12,199
Speaker 6: pulled back, don't get negative better God, why is this happening?

402
00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:13,880
Speaker 4: Turn it around. God.

403
00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:17,320
Speaker 6: I may not like it, I may be uncomfortable. These

404
00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:20,160
Speaker 6: people aren't treating me right. But God, I know it's

405
00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:23,560
Speaker 6: just a matter of time before you release me and

406
00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:27,760
Speaker 6: shoot me further than I ever dreamed. When my father

407
00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:30,520
Speaker 6: went to be with the Lord back in nineteen ninety nine,

408
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:33,960
Speaker 6: I felt like I was being pulled back. I could

409
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:37,560
Speaker 6: feel the pressure, the tension. I lost a great friend,

410
00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:40,160
Speaker 6: didn't know what was going to happen to the church.

411
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:44,879
Speaker 6: But in the middle of that difficulty, when in a sense,

412
00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:47,639
Speaker 6: it seemed like my best days were behind me, at

413
00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:51,280
Speaker 6: just the right time, God released me and shot me

414
00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:55,040
Speaker 6: to a new level of my destiny. I got here

415
00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:59,080
Speaker 6: quicker than I should have. I didn't have the formal training,

416
00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:03,560
Speaker 6: the experiens, the qualifications. I couldn't have made it happen

417
00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:07,119
Speaker 6: on my own. It was the hand of God, I've learned.

418
00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:10,880
Speaker 6: When God is ready to shoot you, he doesn't ask

419
00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:11,800
Speaker 6: for your permission.

420
00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:14,280
Speaker 4: He doesn't check with the critics.

421
00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:18,560
Speaker 6: He doesn't get approval from your friends, family members, co workers.

422
00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:21,560
Speaker 4: He doesn't look at your bank account, your.

423
00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:25,520
Speaker 6: Degrees, your confidence, your connections. When it's your time, God

424
00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:32,040
Speaker 6: simply propels you into your destiny. No person can stop you,

425
00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:37,840
Speaker 6: no bad break, no organization. God has the final say.

426
00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:41,760
Speaker 6: He breathes his life into you. He's planned out your days.

427
00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:47,400
Speaker 6: He's already lined up these times of acceleration, times where

428
00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:50,840
Speaker 6: your water will be turned to wine, times where you'll

429
00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:55,680
Speaker 6: sow and reap simultaneously. You may feel like you're being

430
00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:59,040
Speaker 6: pulled back right now. Tension doesn't seem like you can

431
00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:02,720
Speaker 6: get ahead this You're being pulled back for one reason,

432
00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:06,520
Speaker 6: so God can shoot you further. You need to get ready.

433
00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:09,040
Speaker 6: This is a year where God is going to launch

434
00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:12,639
Speaker 6: you forward. You're going to see acceleration. It's going to

435
00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:17,840
Speaker 6: happen faster, be so amazing, like Amos prophesied, your head's

436
00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:18,800
Speaker 6: gonna swim.

437
00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:21,879
Speaker 4: You're gonna think I didn't see this coming. I never

438
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:25,840
Speaker 4: dreamed I'd be this blessed, this happy, this healthy, this fulfilled.

439
00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:30,359
Speaker 6: That's the God of acceleration taking you where you could

440
00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:34,400
Speaker 6: not go on your own. In the Old Testament, there

441
00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:36,320
Speaker 6: had been a drought in the land for three and

442
00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:40,000
Speaker 6: a half years. The prophet Elijah went on top of

443
00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:43,639
Speaker 6: a mountain and began to pray for rain. His assistant

444
00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:46,919
Speaker 6: came back after six times of looking and said he

445
00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:50,920
Speaker 6: saw a small cloud up in the sky. Elijah knew

446
00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:53,080
Speaker 6: that was a sign that it was about to rain.

447
00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:56,640
Speaker 6: He said to Ahab, you better get in your chariot

448
00:23:57,080 --> 00:23:59,200
Speaker 6: and take off toward Jezrael.

449
00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:02,080
Speaker 4: There's a to be a huge rainstorm here.

450
00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:07,439
Speaker 6: The scripture says that Elijah took off running and he

451
00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:09,000
Speaker 6: outran the.

452
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:10,320
Speaker 4: Chariot to Jezreel.

453
00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:14,800
Speaker 6: God gave him supernatural ability caused him to go faster

454
00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:18,919
Speaker 6: than he should have. I read where the average horse

455
00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:23,040
Speaker 6: can sprint thirty five miles an hour, the average person

456
00:24:23,359 --> 00:24:27,160
Speaker 6: fifteen miles per hour, My brother Paul six point three

457
00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:33,400
Speaker 6: miles per hour. How could Elijah possibly outrun a horse?

458
00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:36,639
Speaker 6: How could he outrun a chariot that doesn't seem like

459
00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:40,439
Speaker 6: it makes sense. Here's how God shot him out. In

460
00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:43,160
Speaker 6: this year of acceleration, God is going to.

461
00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:44,120
Speaker 4: Speed you up.

462
00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:47,720
Speaker 6: He's going to shoot you into promotion, shoot you into influence,

463
00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:51,879
Speaker 6: shoot you into new opportunities. Like Elijah, you're going to

464
00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:53,600
Speaker 6: discover ability.

465
00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:54,720
Speaker 4: That you didn't even know was in you.

466
00:24:55,680 --> 00:24:57,840
Speaker 6: When I was eight years old, I was in my

467
00:24:57,920 --> 00:25:01,240
Speaker 6: backyard with my father. We just raked up a bunch

468
00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:04,080
Speaker 6: of leaves and we had this huge pile that we

469
00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:08,120
Speaker 6: were going to burn. Normally, my grandfather would do this.

470
00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:11,639
Speaker 6: He helped us take care of our yard, and after

471
00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:14,520
Speaker 6: a long day of raking leaves, he would always finish

472
00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:15,880
Speaker 6: it off by burning them.

473
00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:17,720
Speaker 4: But my father.

474
00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:22,000
Speaker 6: Wasn't as experienced with making a fire as my grandfather.

475
00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:25,600
Speaker 6: Daddy went in the shed and got some accelerant out,

476
00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:30,080
Speaker 6: you know, accelerant that's used to make the fire burn faster.

477
00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:31,280
Speaker 4: And bigger and stronger.

478
00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:35,160
Speaker 6: I remember thinking, Granddaddy never uses this accelerant when.

479
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:35,879
Speaker 4: He makes a fire.

480
00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:38,960
Speaker 6: And I even asked my father and he said, oh, yeah,

481
00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:40,639
Speaker 6: you want to put a whole lot of this on

482
00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:41,760
Speaker 6: to really get it going.

483
00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:43,480
Speaker 4: And he poured.

484
00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:46,480
Speaker 6: That liquid accelerant all over the leaves, the branches, The

485
00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:49,440
Speaker 6: whole ground was soaked with accelerant.

486
00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:51,080
Speaker 4: He got a match out.

487
00:25:51,560 --> 00:25:53,840
Speaker 6: I was only eight years old, but I was smart

488
00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:57,760
Speaker 6: enough to go way way back. I even asked him

489
00:25:57,760 --> 00:26:01,919
Speaker 6: again that are you sure you're supposed to use his granddaddy, Joel,

490
00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:03,399
Speaker 6: I was raised on a farm.

491
00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:04,280
Speaker 4: I know what I'm doing.

492
00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:09,160
Speaker 6: He threw that match on. It was like a volcano erupted.

493
00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:15,000
Speaker 6: That fire shot up thirty forty feet in the air. Leaves, branches,

494
00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:17,000
Speaker 6: debris went everywhere.

495
00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:19,440
Speaker 4: We wanted to get rid of the leaves. We got

496
00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:21,480
Speaker 4: rid of them. They went in our neighbor's yard.

497
00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:26,480
Speaker 6: A few seconds after that little mini explosion calmed down,

498
00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:32,200
Speaker 6: my dad came over. His eyebrows were sins, he had dirt.

499
00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:33,840
Speaker 4: Leaves stuck to his face.

500
00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:37,200
Speaker 6: But Daddy knew no defeat. He says, see, Joel, that's

501
00:26:37,240 --> 00:26:42,360
Speaker 6: how you make a fire. I thought, yeah, that's how

502
00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:43,560
Speaker 6: you go to heaven today.

503
00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:46,520
Speaker 4: Here's my point.

504
00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:51,280
Speaker 6: The more accelerant you put on, the faster the fire

505
00:26:51,359 --> 00:26:54,879
Speaker 6: is going to burn. In the same way, Faith is

506
00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:58,560
Speaker 6: the accelerant. Thanking God that the answers on the way.

507
00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:04,720
Speaker 6: Living with efectancy meditating on his promises. That's putting accelerant

508
00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:07,840
Speaker 6: on what you're believing. For when we go around.

509
00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:09,720
Speaker 4: Negative discord, isn't never gonna happen.

510
00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:13,200
Speaker 6: I'll never get well. That's like putting water on your fire.

511
00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:16,080
Speaker 6: It's going to keep it from spreading. Why don't you

512
00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:20,399
Speaker 6: start putting accelerant on your dreams. Father, Thank you that

513
00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:23,280
Speaker 6: you're opening doors that no man can shut. Thank you

514
00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:27,199
Speaker 6: that you're turning my water into wine. Put accelerant on

515

Speaker 6: your healing father. Thank you that you're restoring health back

516
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:33,880
Speaker 6: into me. That the number of my days you will fulfill.

517
00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:38,320
Speaker 6: Put some accelerant on your finances all through the year. Father,

518
00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:41,640
Speaker 6: Thank you that whatever I touch will prosper and succeed.

519
00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:44,119
Speaker 4: That I am the head and not the tail. Do

520
00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:47,520
Speaker 4: like my father, put a whole lot on all through

521
00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:47,920
Speaker 4: the day.

522
00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:52,240
Speaker 6: Keep thanking God that is coming, living with expectancy, speaking

523
00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:55,560
Speaker 6: words of faith and victory. Friends, this is a year

524

Speaker 6: God is speeding things up. You've entered into a time

525
00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:05,040
Speaker 6: of acceleration, like Amos prophesied, where you'll sow and reap simultaneously,

526
00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:09,120
Speaker 6: like Ezekiel said, where God is going to shoot you out.

527
00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:12,240
Speaker 6: You may have been pulled back. You feel stuffed, You've

528
00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:14,840
Speaker 6: had some disappointments. You better get ready. This is a

529

Speaker 6: new day. God's about to shoot you further than you

00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:18,800
Speaker 6: can imagine.

Speaker 4: Keep putting that accelerant on.

532
00:28:21,240 --> 00:28:24,679
Speaker 6: If you'll do this, I believe and declare, God is

533
00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:28,920
Speaker 6: going to accelerate your dreams coming to pass, accelerate your healing,

534
