I like to 46 00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:05,800 Speaker 5: start with something funny and I heard about this archaeologist 47 00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:09,400 Speaker 5: in New York. He dug down ten feet and found 48 00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:11,880 Speaker 5: traces of copper wiring dating. 49 00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:12,680 Speaker 4: Back one hundred years. 50 00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:16,880 Speaker 5: He concluded that New Yorkers had a telephone network over 51 00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:21,160 Speaker 5: one hundred years ago. Not to be outdone, an archaeologist 52 00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:25,440 Speaker 5: from California duged down twenty feet and found copper wiring 53 00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:26,280 Speaker 5: dating back. 54 00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:27,080 Speaker 4: Two hundred years. 55 00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:31,840 Speaker 5: He concluded that Californians had a massive communications network one 56 00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:36,160 Speaker 5: hundred years earlier than New Yorkers. Upon hearing this Bubba 57 00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:40,680 Speaker 5: from Texas dug down thirty feet on his farm and 58 00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:45,480 Speaker 5: found absolutely nothing. He concluded three hundred years ago Texans 59 00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:46,800 Speaker 5: had already gone wireless. 60 00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:50,560 Speaker 4: Say it like you mean it. 61 00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:53,959 Speaker 5: This is my Bible. I am what it says I am. 62 00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:56,680 Speaker 5: I have what it says I have. I can do 63 00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:59,280 Speaker 5: what it says I can do. Today I will be 64 00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:03,160 Speaker 5: taught the word of God. I boldly confess. My mind 65 00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:06,400 Speaker 5: is alert, my heart is receptive. I will never be 66 00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:11,519 Speaker 5: the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you want to 67 00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:15,600 Speaker 5: talk to you today about sooner than expected. A few 68 00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:18,760 Speaker 5: years ago, I ordered a pair of running shoes online. 69 00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:21,400 Speaker 5: It said it was going to take four to six 70 00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:25,600 Speaker 5: weeks for delivery. Normally you can pay a little extra 71 00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:29,160 Speaker 5: to have them delivered sooner, but that wasn't offered for 72 00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:30,720 Speaker 5: this particular pair of shoes. 73 00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:33,680 Speaker 4: There was a number, so I called and talked to 74 00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:35,400 Speaker 4: the lady. Asked her if. 75 00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:37,160 Speaker 5: There was anything she could do to help me get 76 00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:40,400 Speaker 5: them sooner. She put me on hold and came back 77 00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:43,400 Speaker 5: in a couple of minutes said, sir, I'm sorry. I checked, 78 00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:46,480 Speaker 5: but it's going to be at least four weeks, most 79 00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:50,240 Speaker 5: likely six weeks. I tried to use my charm to 80 00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:53,080 Speaker 5: persuade her, said, are you sure there's nothing else you 81 00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:53,400 Speaker 5: can do? 82 00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:56,720 Speaker 4: She kind of perked up. She said, is your last name? O? 83 00:03:56,920 --> 00:04:01,520 Speaker 5: Stein? Said, oh lord, thank you for your favor. I said, yes, ma'am, 84 00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:03,840 Speaker 5: it sure is. She said, that's funny. 85 00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:06,840 Speaker 4: The lady that lives two doors down from me is 86 00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:07,640 Speaker 4: an O Steem. 87 00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:10,360 Speaker 5: I said, well, that's probably one of my relatives. Not 88 00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:13,160 Speaker 5: many of us around. She said, no offense, but I 89 00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:17,880 Speaker 5: don't like her at all. Said like I said, I'm 90 00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:21,960 Speaker 5: sure we're not related. We laughed together and I hung 91 00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:23,080 Speaker 5: up the phone. 92 00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:24,400 Speaker 4: That was on a Monday. 93 00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:27,200 Speaker 5: I'd already made up my mind it was going to 94 00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:30,760 Speaker 5: take six weeks. Already accepted the fact that it wasn't 95 00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:34,840 Speaker 5: going to happen any sooner. That's what all the circumstances said, 96 00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:38,440 Speaker 5: That's what the experts had just told me. But four 97 00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:42,400 Speaker 5: days later, Thursday afternoon, there was a knock. 98 00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:44,640 Speaker 4: On my door. He was the ups man. 99 00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:47,640 Speaker 5: He handed me a box and I could tell they 100 00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:49,960 Speaker 5: were shoes, but I thought these couldn't be mine, must 101 00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:54,000 Speaker 5: be Victorious or our children. I opened that box and 102 00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:55,680 Speaker 5: there were the shoes that I had ordered. 103 00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:58,039 Speaker 4: There was no explanation. 104 00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:03,280 Speaker 5: They simply arrived sooner than expected. In the same way, 105 00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:06,520 Speaker 5: God has some deliveries for you that are going to 106 00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:12,360 Speaker 5: come sooner than you think. Every circumstance may say it's 107 00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:15,760 Speaker 5: going to take years to get out of debt, years 108 00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:18,280 Speaker 5: to meet the right person, years to accomplish a goal, 109 00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:23,520 Speaker 5: but get ready for some unexpected deliveries. God has favor, 110 00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:27,680 Speaker 5: good breaks, healing, divine connections that are going to show 111 00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:31,680 Speaker 5: up sooner than expected. And yes, I know there are 112 00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:35,279 Speaker 5: times that God does things slowly, little by little over 113 00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:38,880 Speaker 5: a period of years. But there are also times God 114 00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:43,599 Speaker 5: will do things suddenly, unexpectedly, quicker than you thought. 115 00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:46,840 Speaker 4: You may have been told by the experts that. 116 00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:48,880 Speaker 5: It's going to take a long time to get well. 117 00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:53,240 Speaker 5: You've done everything you can, tried your best, but now 118 00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:55,680 Speaker 5: you've accepted the fact that it's going to be a 119 00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:59,400 Speaker 5: long drawn out process. Now get ready for a knock 120 00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:03,400 Speaker 5: on the door. God has your healing already en route. 121 00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:08,720 Speaker 4: It's going to be there sooner than expected. Perhaps you've struggled. 122 00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:11,520 Speaker 5: With an addiction since high school. You've tried to break it, 123 00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:14,040 Speaker 5: gone through treatment, not able to do it. 124 00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:16,839 Speaker 4: Now you think that's the way it's always going to be. 125 00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:20,600 Speaker 5: No, get ready, Freedom is coming. A breakthrough is on 126 00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:24,000 Speaker 5: the way. It should take years, but God is speeding 127 00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:27,360 Speaker 5: things up. That's what it says in Jeremiah. God will 128 00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:30,960 Speaker 5: hasten his word to perform it. That means God will 129 00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:32,159 Speaker 5: do it quicker. 130 00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:34,119 Speaker 4: Faster, sooner than you think. 131 00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:39,200 Speaker 5: Acts Chapter twelve, King Herod had Peter arrested and put 132 00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:39,839 Speaker 5: in prison. 133 00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:43,919 Speaker 4: Herod didn't like the church. He was against believers. 134 00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:47,480 Speaker 5: He had already had one of the disciples, Stephen, put 135 00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:47,960 Speaker 5: to death. 136 00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:49,880 Speaker 4: It didn't look good for Peter. 137 00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:52,800 Speaker 5: He was put in the deepest part of the prison, 138 00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:56,440 Speaker 5: in the most secure area. On top of that, he 139 00:06:56,640 --> 00:07:00,000 Speaker 5: was chained to two guards the next day he would 140 00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:00,600 Speaker 5: going to be. 141 00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:01,320 Speaker 4: Brought to trial. 142 00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:05,080 Speaker 5: There was a large group of believers that had gathered 143 00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:08,640 Speaker 5: at Mary's house to pray for Peter. They knew this 144 00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:12,040 Speaker 5: was a very serious situation. He was just a few 145 00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:16,440 Speaker 5: hours away from possibly losing his life. But that night, 146 00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:20,880 Speaker 5: an angel appeared under him in the prison. The angel 147 00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:23,120 Speaker 5: woke Peter up and said, Peter, get up and come 148 00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:26,400 Speaker 5: with me. At first he thought it was a dream. 149 00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:30,040 Speaker 5: Instantly the chains fell off of him. They passed the 150 00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:32,640 Speaker 5: first set of guards, then the second set of guards, 151 00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:33,600 Speaker 5: and they came to. 152 00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:37,200 Speaker 4: This huge iron gate, A big structure. 153 00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:40,680 Speaker 5: Looked impossible, no way to get around it, but the 154 00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:42,840 Speaker 5: scripture says the gate. 155 00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:44,480 Speaker 4: Opened on its own accord. 156 00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:48,320 Speaker 5: At that point, Peter realized that it wasn't a dream, 157 00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:52,040 Speaker 5: it was really happening. He went straight to the house 158 00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:54,440 Speaker 5: of Mary, where everybody was praying. 159 00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:58,120 Speaker 4: He knocked on the door. A young lady named Rhoda 160 00:07:58,240 --> 00:07:58,880 Speaker 4: answered it. 161 00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:04,360 Speaker 5: When she heard Peter's voice, she was so amazed, so excited, 162 00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:07,480 Speaker 5: she didn't even open the door. She ran back and 163 00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:11,360 Speaker 5: told everyone, Hey, Peter is out front. Our prayers have 164 00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:15,880 Speaker 5: been answered, they said, Rhoda. Rhoda, calm down, girl, Peter 165 00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:20,240 Speaker 5: is not out front. That's impossible. He's in prison, in 166 00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:24,200 Speaker 5: the dungeon, chained up. You must be seeing things, she said. 167 00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:26,880 Speaker 5: I'm telling you I heard it with my own ears. 168 00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:29,720 Speaker 4: Peter is out front. The whole time. 169 00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:33,600 Speaker 5: Peter was sending out there, knocking and knocking, thinking, come on, man, I'm. 170 00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:35,600 Speaker 4: The answer to your prayer. At least let me in. 171 00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:36,959 Speaker 4: Here's my point. 172 00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:41,240 Speaker 5: They were praying for Peter's release, but they almost couldn't 173 00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:44,800 Speaker 5: believe it because it happened sooner than expected. 174 00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:48,520 Speaker 4: That was one of those deliveries they didn't see coming. 175 00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:52,760 Speaker 5: All the circumstances said, if he did ever get out, 176 00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:57,720 Speaker 5: if some way he was ever free, it would take months. 177 00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:58,280 Speaker 4: Possibly even years. 178 00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:03,320 Speaker 5: But can I tell you God has some unexpected deliveries 179 00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:04,160 Speaker 5: come in your way. 180 00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:07,320 Speaker 4: He knows how to do it faster than you think. 181 00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:10,840 Speaker 5: Some of the things you've been praying about, you think 182 00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:13,679 Speaker 5: it's going to take years and years. No, just like 183 00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:17,920 Speaker 5: with these people, God is going to do it suddenly, unexpectedly, 184 00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:21,760 Speaker 5: quicker than you thought. You're still praying about it, and 185 00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:25,320 Speaker 5: the answer comes knocking at the door while you're praying 186 00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:29,320 Speaker 5: for your healing. Healing is already en wrap you're praying 187 00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:33,079 Speaker 5: for the breakthrough, and the angel has already loosed the chains. 188 00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:36,600 Speaker 5: You're praying for the child that's off course. God has 189 00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:39,880 Speaker 5: already set the miracle into motion. You're going to hear 190 00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:42,600 Speaker 5: a knock on your door sooner than expected. 191 00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:44,920 Speaker 4: Now, don't talk to yourself out of it. 192 00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:48,360 Speaker 5: Don't do like they did. All that's impossible. Have you 193 00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:49,840 Speaker 5: seen my circumstances? 194 00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:52,000 Speaker 4: Have you looked at my bank account? 195 00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:56,760 Speaker 5: Have you heard what the specialists say about my health situation? No, 196 00:09:57,080 --> 00:10:00,520 Speaker 5: just like with my running shoes, the delivery is already 197 00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:04,559 Speaker 5: en route. The scripture says, the moment you prayed, the 198 00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:07,800 Speaker 5: tide of the battle begin to turn, God set the 199 00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:12,480 Speaker 5: miracle into motion. Every circumstance may say you'll never get free, 200 00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:15,160 Speaker 5: never get well, never accomplish a dream. 201 00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:19,440 Speaker 4: But know this, chains have already been loosed. The right 202 00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:21,120 Speaker 4: people are already headed your way. 203 00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:25,600 Speaker 5: Favor, healing, vindication is about to come knocking at your door. 204 00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:30,400 Speaker 5: In this year of acceleration. You're going to see doors 205 00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:32,000 Speaker 5: open of their own accord. 206 00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:34,440 Speaker 4: Things that you couldn't make happen. 207 00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:38,760 Speaker 5: You didn't have the talent, the funding, the connections. God 208 00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:43,959 Speaker 5: will supernaturally make happen. Breaks that you didn't deserve favor, 209 00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:49,559 Speaker 5: chasing you down unexpected deliveries. Like Peter, you may have 210 00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:54,520 Speaker 5: obstacles that look insurmountable, problems that look too big, sickness, 211 00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:56,640 Speaker 5: family difficulties, depression. 212 00:10:57,280 --> 00:10:59,760 Speaker 4: God is going to do for you what he did 213 00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:00,439 Speaker 4: for him. 214 00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:05,200 Speaker 5: He's going to supernaturally open those iron gates and bring 215 00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:09,000 Speaker 5: you into freedom. Suddenly things were going to fall into place. 216 00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:12,960 Speaker 5: You're going to be so amazed thinking I never thought. 217 00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:15,840 Speaker 4: It would happen this fast. I was just praying and 218 00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:17,040 Speaker 4: the answer showed up. 219 00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:20,920 Speaker 5: I was just dreaming about it, and the door supernaturally opened. 220 00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:24,080 Speaker 4: I was just honoring God being my best, and the 221 00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:29,000 Speaker 4: blessing chased me down. Really, that's what this facility is. 222 00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:33,120 Speaker 5: Twice we tried to buy property to build a new auditorium. 223 00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:37,960 Speaker 5: We needed a larger sanctuary, but both times that property 224 00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:39,760 Speaker 5: was sold out from under us. 225 00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:41,520 Speaker 4: We had looked everywhere. 226 00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:44,960 Speaker 5: There were no more large tracts of land inclose like 227 00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:48,280 Speaker 5: we needed, and it looked like that dream had come 228 00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:52,800 Speaker 5: to a dead end. But one day, unexpectedly, out of 229 00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:55,480 Speaker 5: the blue, an old friend called me. Hadn't spoken to 230 00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:58,000 Speaker 5: him in a long time. He asked me to have lunch. 231 00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:02,079 Speaker 5: He told how the Rocky basketball team was moving out 232 00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:04,520 Speaker 5: of this building and the city was going to want 233 00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:05,040 Speaker 5: to sell it. 234 00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:08,000 Speaker 4: I didn't go after it. It came after me. 235 00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:10,960 Speaker 5: It would have taken us many years to build a 236 00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:14,040 Speaker 5: building from scratch, but God said, I'll give you one 237 00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:17,600 Speaker 5: that's already built on the most prime real estate in 238 00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:21,160 Speaker 5: all of Houston, on the second busiest freeway in the nation. 239 00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:23,839 Speaker 4: Here's what I'm saying. 240 00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:27,800 Speaker 5: When it looked impossible, I thought it was never going 241 00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:32,000 Speaker 5: to happen. The delivery was already enroute, the building was 242 00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:33,120 Speaker 5: already on the way. 243 00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:34,800 Speaker 4: I couldn't have made it happen. 244 00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:37,720 Speaker 5: That was the hand of God causing it to fall 245 00:12:37,760 --> 00:12:38,320 Speaker 5: into place. 246 00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:41,560 Speaker 4: What the scripture says doors are going to open of 247 00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:42,480 Speaker 4: their own accord. 248 00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:46,400 Speaker 5: May look like you've come to a dead end in 249 00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:49,000 Speaker 5: your dreams, a dead end in your health, a dead 250 00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:52,240 Speaker 5: end in a relationship. Every voice says it's never going 251 00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:55,880 Speaker 5: to happen. But there are some doors that God has 252 00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:57,600 Speaker 5: already ordained for you. 253 00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:01,360 Speaker 4: They're going to open of their own accord. You couldn't 254 00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:02,120 Speaker 4: make it happen. 255 00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:05,560 Speaker 5: It's simply the goodness of God you're going to see. 256 00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:09,040 Speaker 5: I believe some of these doors open sooner than expected. 257 00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:12,120 Speaker 5: Everything in the natural says it's going to be years 258 00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:16,040 Speaker 5: and years. God is saying it's already enrou is closer 259 00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:19,400 Speaker 5: than you think. I received an email from a young 260 00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:23,320 Speaker 5: lady named Sasha. She and her husband had three children. 261 00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:26,720 Speaker 4: When she gave birth to a beautiful baby girl. 262 00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:31,320 Speaker 5: They soon realized this little girl wasn't developing like the 263 00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:36,040 Speaker 5: other children. For several years, she didn't speak. Other than 264 00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:38,600 Speaker 5: an occasional mommy, she wouldn't talk. 265 00:13:39,240 --> 00:13:40,720 Speaker 4: She was so frustrated by it. 266 00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:43,680 Speaker 5: She would go around biting her hair and just making 267 00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:47,760 Speaker 5: some grunting sounds. Sassha thought maybe it was some kind 268 00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:51,280 Speaker 5: of autism. Took her to different specialists, but they couldn't 269 00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:53,880 Speaker 5: figure out what it was. At four and a half 270 00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:57,000 Speaker 5: years of age, she had to have her speech tested 271 00:13:57,040 --> 00:13:59,960 Speaker 5: to get into preschool. She was told that she spoke 272 00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:04,560 Speaker 5: at a twelve month old baby level, basically didn't speak. 273 00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:08,600 Speaker 5: They enrolled her in that preschool in August of that year. 274 00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:11,880 Speaker 5: Two days a week she would go to special education 275 00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:15,520 Speaker 5: for speech. Months went by and didn't look like it 276 00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:19,280 Speaker 5: was doing any good. She wasn't getting any better, But 277 00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:23,160 Speaker 5: Sasha and her whole family they would watch our services 278 00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:27,000 Speaker 5: on television each week. Even as a little girl, she 279 00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:29,760 Speaker 5: would hear me talking about how you're a child of 280 00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:32,480 Speaker 5: the Most High God, how you can do all things 281 00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:36,960 Speaker 5: through Christ, how you've been equipped and empowered. In December 282 00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:42,280 Speaker 5: of that same year, suddenly she started speaking. Four months later, 283 00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:46,200 Speaker 5: she took another speech test and passed it with flying colors. 284 00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:48,920 Speaker 4: She was told she didn't need any. 285 00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:52,600 Speaker 5: More speech lessons than her speech was perfectly normal. Today 286 00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:56,200 Speaker 5: she's an excellent student. She speaks as clearly as can be. 287 00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:59,400 Speaker 5: Sasha says. Sometimes she'll go around the house saying, this 288 00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:01,440 Speaker 5: is my bo I am what it says? 289 00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:01,840 Speaker 4: I am. 290 00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:05,600 Speaker 5: There's little ho Colini right there on the front road 291 00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:07,440 Speaker 5: with her mother, Sassia as. 292 00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:09,080 Speaker 4: Well, a child of the Most. 293 00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:10,480 Speaker 7: Our God, her dad. 294 00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:11,800 Speaker 4: Family behind them. 295 00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:17,080 Speaker 5: That was one of those unexpected deliveries. Looked like it 296 00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:19,920 Speaker 5: was gonna take years, but it was already in Ralph. 297 00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:22,120 Speaker 4: It happened sooner than they thought. 298 00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:27,160 Speaker 5: Sasha told me when her daughter couldn't speak well, she 299 00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:29,920 Speaker 5: just kept thanking God that the answer was on the way. 300 00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:33,720 Speaker 5: She kept praising music going throughout her house. 301 00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:34,280 Speaker 4: All through the day. 302 00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:38,960 Speaker 5: She was always feeding her inner man faith hope, expectancy, 303 00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:42,600 Speaker 5: keeping herself encouraged and built up. It's so important in 304 00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:46,000 Speaker 5: those tough times to not dwell in all the negative thoughts. 305 00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:49,400 Speaker 5: What's never gonna happen, never get better, she'll never talk, 306 00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:50,440 Speaker 5: you'll never get well. 307 00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:52,080 Speaker 4: No, turn it around. Father. 308 00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:54,960 Speaker 5: I want to thank you that the miracle is already 309 00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:57,320 Speaker 5: in motion. Thank you Lord that the delivery is. 310 00:15:57,320 --> 00:15:59,080 Speaker 4: Already in Ralph. 311 00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:01,880 Speaker 5: I may not see see how it can happen, but God, 312 00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:05,400 Speaker 5: I know you can cause doors to open on their own. 313 00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:07,600 Speaker 4: Accord, Stay in faith. 314 00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:11,360 Speaker 5: You're going to see times where it happens sooner than expected. 315 00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:13,320 Speaker 4: This is what David did. 316 00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:16,760 Speaker 5: He had just gone through the worst defeat of his life. 317 00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:20,119 Speaker 5: While he and his six hundred men were out protecting 318 00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:24,640 Speaker 5: the borders of Israel, his home city was attacked and burned. 319 00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:29,280 Speaker 5: They kidnapped all their wives and children. When they returned 320 00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:32,160 Speaker 5: home and saw the smoke billowing from the air and 321 00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:36,280 Speaker 5: all the destruction, they were so devastated, so heartbroken. 322 00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:39,080 Speaker 4: All they could do was sit there and weep and weep. 323 00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:43,160 Speaker 5: It looked like it was over. But instead of staying defeated, 324 00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:46,320 Speaker 5: David said to his men, get up, We're going to 325 00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:49,520 Speaker 5: go attack the enemy. They went out and not only 326 00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:53,200 Speaker 5: defeated that enemy, they got their wives back, their children. 327 00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:54,160 Speaker 4: Back, all their possessions. 328 00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:58,520 Speaker 5: The scripture says they recovered everything that had been stolen 329 00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:03,080 Speaker 5: that in It was a great victory. But what's even 330 00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:07,919 Speaker 5: more significant is that same day King Saul was killed 331 00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:12,320 Speaker 5: in a battle and David took the throne. This all 332 00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:18,040 Speaker 5: happened three days after David's greatest defeat, three days from 333 00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:21,200 Speaker 5: his darkest hour. He was put on the throne of Israel. 334 00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:25,600 Speaker 5: I'm sure if you would have asked David three days earlier, 335 00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:28,359 Speaker 5: when he was sitting in the ruins of his city, 336 00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:32,400 Speaker 5: depressed and discouraged, if he thought in a few hours 337 00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:34,920 Speaker 5: he would be taking the throne, he would have said, 338 00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:35,560 Speaker 5: are you kidding? 339 00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:38,760 Speaker 4: This is the worst time of my life. 340 00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:42,359 Speaker 5: Every circumstance said it was a long way off, that 341 00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:44,200 Speaker 5: his best days were behind him. 342 00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:47,679 Speaker 4: But what David couldn't see was that was all a 343 00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:48,840 Speaker 4: part of God's plan. 344 00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:53,280 Speaker 5: That setback was really a set up to move him 345 00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:56,919 Speaker 5: into his destiny. It looked like that defeat could be 346 00:17:56,960 --> 00:17:59,639 Speaker 5: a big delay, maybe even keep. 347 00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:01,280 Speaker 4: Him from the throne. 348 00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:05,160 Speaker 5: In reality, it was just the opposite. It was instrumental 349 00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:08,200 Speaker 5: in putting him on the throne. But there was a 350 00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:10,720 Speaker 5: key to all of this happening. If David would have 351 00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:14,919 Speaker 5: sat there in self pity, bitter God, why did you 352 00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:17,760 Speaker 5: let this happen? I was out doing the right thing. 353 00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:21,080 Speaker 5: If he would have stayed negative, defeated, he could have 354 00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:26,400 Speaker 5: missed his destiny in those difficult times, things you don't understand. 355 00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:28,720 Speaker 4: It's easy to get discouraged. 356 00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:33,120 Speaker 5: Bitter, but remember, like David, you could be just seventy 357 00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:34,520 Speaker 5: two hours. 358 00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:35,400 Speaker 4: From your greatest victory. 359 00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:38,720 Speaker 5: You could be just a few days from seeing God 360 00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:42,840 Speaker 5: shine out in your life in ways you've never seen. Well, Joel, 361 00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:44,600 Speaker 5: it's going to take me years to get out of 362 00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:48,240 Speaker 5: this mess, years to recover from this bad break, years 363 00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:51,000 Speaker 5: to get over this illness. No, God is going to 364 00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:53,800 Speaker 5: do for you what he did for David. It's going 365 00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:58,439 Speaker 5: to happen sooner than you expected. That setback is not 366 00:18:58,560 --> 00:18:59,679 Speaker 5: a surprise to God. 367 00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:03,480 Speaker 4: He's already dispatched the angel with the answer. 368 00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:06,960 Speaker 5: It's already en route. It may be dark right now, 369 00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:10,000 Speaker 5: but one day you're going to say, like David, Wow, God, 370 00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:13,880 Speaker 5: I never dreamed it would turn around this past. That's 371 00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:17,560 Speaker 5: what happened with us concerning this building when that property 372 00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:21,240 Speaker 5: was sold out from under us the second time, I thought, Wow, 373 00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:24,119 Speaker 5: that is too bad, We'll never be able to build 374 00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:25,160 Speaker 5: a new sanctuary. 375 00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:27,840 Speaker 4: I didn't realize. 376 00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:30,880 Speaker 5: I had to go through that disappointment before I could 377 00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:34,280 Speaker 5: get to what God really wanted us to have. Once 378 00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:37,040 Speaker 5: that door closed, it was just a few months before 379 00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:39,879 Speaker 5: the compact center door opened up. And some of the 380 00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:43,119 Speaker 5: things that you could be discouraged by the bad break, 381 00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:46,879 Speaker 5: the disappointment, the loss looks like a dead end, like 382 00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:50,880 Speaker 5: it's going to hold you back. In reality, that setback 383 00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:54,320 Speaker 5: is going to propel you into the next level of 384 00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:57,600 Speaker 5: your destiny. If you will stay in faith, you will 385 00:19:57,640 --> 00:20:03,120 Speaker 5: see some of these unexpected deliveries. God will cause doors 386 00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:06,560 Speaker 5: to open on their own accord. He'll make things happen 387 00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:11,280 Speaker 5: that you could not make happen suddenly, unexpectedly, quicker than 388 00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:14,080 Speaker 5: you thought. I talked to a young couple out in 389 00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:16,719 Speaker 5: the lobby. They'd been trying to have a baby for 390 00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:20,960 Speaker 5: six years. This young lady had gone through several miscarriages 391 00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:24,400 Speaker 5: and for some reason she couldn't carry a child. She'd 392 00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:29,080 Speaker 5: been through different specialists, done everything they could medically speaking 393 00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:34,320 Speaker 5: with no success. Years earlier, her sister had a dream 394 00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:38,000 Speaker 5: where she saw this young lady and her husband with 395 00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:42,320 Speaker 5: the most beautiful, blonde haired, blue eyed baby boy that 396 00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:46,000 Speaker 5: you can imagine. They had talked a couple of times 397 00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:49,399 Speaker 5: about possibly adopting a child, but they thought that was 398 00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:50,280 Speaker 5: way off. 399 00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:50,840 Speaker 4: In the distance. 400 00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:54,719 Speaker 5: One Sunday morning, they were here at service. I was 401 00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:58,080 Speaker 5: talking about how everything that has our name on it 402 00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:01,080 Speaker 5: is coming in. I said, the health that has your 403 00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:03,719 Speaker 5: name on it is coming in, the business is coming in. 404 00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:07,360 Speaker 5: I specifically mentioned the baby that has. 405 00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:09,040 Speaker 4: Your name on it is coming in. 406 00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:14,239 Speaker 5: When they heard that, something ignited on the inside. 407 00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:17,480 Speaker 4: They knew that was for them. They left the service 408 00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:18,199 Speaker 4: at lunch. 409 00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:23,440 Speaker 5: About four hours later, unexpectedly, they received a phone call 410 00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:27,760 Speaker 5: asking if they'd be interested in adopting a baby that 411 00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:30,639 Speaker 5: was going to be born in a few months. Eight 412 00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:34,320 Speaker 5: weeks later, they were in the delivery room when their 413 00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:35,560 Speaker 5: little boy was born. 414 00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:37,040 Speaker 4: Just so happened. 415 00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:40,320 Speaker 5: He had blonde hair, blue eyes like the sister had 416 00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:44,640 Speaker 5: seen in the dreaming. But sitting in church that Sunday, 417 00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:49,120 Speaker 5: they never dreamed in a couple of days they would 418 00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:53,600 Speaker 5: have their baby boy. That was an unexpected delivery. It 419 00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:57,640 Speaker 5: happened sooner than they thought. What you've been dreaming about. 420 00:21:57,760 --> 00:22:00,359 Speaker 5: What you've been praying for. May look like it's a 421 00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:03,879 Speaker 5: long way off, but just like with this couple, God 422 00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:05,040 Speaker 5: has already put. 423 00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:05,800 Speaker 4: It in route. 424 00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:09,760 Speaker 5: It's already headed your way. You are close to your breakthrough, 425 00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:13,960 Speaker 5: close to your healing, close to the promotion. It has 426 00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:16,240 Speaker 5: your name on it. Keep honoring God. 427 00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:21,000 Speaker 4: It's going to show up sooner than expected. John chapter four. 428 00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:25,760 Speaker 5: This government official came to see Jesus. His little son 429 00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:29,520 Speaker 5: was very sick and close to death. He had traveled 430 00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:32,840 Speaker 5: a day's journey to get to Galilee. He asked Jesus 431 00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:35,800 Speaker 5: if he would pray for his son. Jesus looked at 432 00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:37,679 Speaker 5: him and said, you can go back home. 433 00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:39,200 Speaker 4: Your son will live. 434 00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:43,000 Speaker 5: Jesus didn't pray, didn't take any time. 435 00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:45,600 Speaker 4: He just declared that healing was coming. 436 00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:49,640 Speaker 5: This man could have been a little offended, thinking, wow, 437 00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:53,000 Speaker 5: came all this way, didn't even take time to pray. No, 438 00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:56,200 Speaker 5: his attitude was if he says my son is going 439 00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:58,880 Speaker 5: to live, if he says healing is on the way, 440 00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:01,080 Speaker 5: then I believe the healing is on the way. 441 00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:03,240 Speaker 4: He turned around went right back home. 442 00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:07,399 Speaker 5: When he got close, one of his assistants came running 443 00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:10,960 Speaker 5: out saying good news your little boy as well. He 444 00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:15,320 Speaker 5: was so relieved, so grateful. He asked what time everything 445 00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:19,040 Speaker 5: started to change. They said this all happened yesterday, about 446 00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:22,480 Speaker 5: one o'clock in the afternoon. That was the exact time 447 00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:26,959 Speaker 5: Jesus told him that his little boy would live. Just 448 00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:30,879 Speaker 5: like with this man, there are promises God has spoken 449 00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:33,720 Speaker 5: to you, things that He's put in your heart that 450 00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:34,919 Speaker 5: you know are going to happen. 451 00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:37,960 Speaker 4: Dreams, goals, divine connections. Turn around. 452 00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:41,720 Speaker 5: The moment God spoke it, he released it. 453 00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:43,200 Speaker 4: It's already in your future. 454 00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:46,040 Speaker 5: It's just a matter of time before you walk into it. 455 00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:49,720 Speaker 5: When Jesus told this man, your little boy will live, 456 00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:55,560 Speaker 5: the scripture says he took Jesus at his word and departed. 457 00:23:56,080 --> 00:23:57,800 Speaker 4: Walking back home. He could have lied, I don't think 458 00:23:57,800 --> 00:23:58,520 Speaker 4: it's going to happen. 459 00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:01,640 Speaker 5: He didn't even pray. I think I'm wasting my time. 460 00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:04,359 Speaker 5: That would have stopped the miracle. You have to do 461 00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:06,200 Speaker 5: like this man, take. 462 00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:08,680 Speaker 4: God at his word. Make a decision. 463 00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:13,240 Speaker 5: You're not going to go around worried, doubting, discourage, thinking 464 00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:16,639 Speaker 5: it's never going to happen. No, stay in faith, knowing 465 00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:20,160 Speaker 5: that what God promised you has already been released. 466 00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:22,760 Speaker 4: It's already en rout headed your way. 467 00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:27,440 Speaker 5: We see this principle with Daniel one time in the scripture. 468 00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:31,399 Speaker 5: He prayed twenty one days later the angel came with 469 00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:32,639 Speaker 5: the answer to the prayer. 470 00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:36,479 Speaker 4: He asked the angel, what took you so long? The 471 00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:37,360 Speaker 4: angel said. 472 00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:41,640 Speaker 5: Daniel, the moment you prayed, God dispatched me with the answer. 473 00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:43,960 Speaker 4: But it took three weeks for me. 474 00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:47,880 Speaker 5: To fight through the forces of darkness. Just like with Daniel, 475 00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:51,719 Speaker 5: the moment you prayed, God released the healing, He released 476 00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:55,520 Speaker 5: the promotion. It's already en routed. Now do your part 477 00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:57,960 Speaker 5: all through the day. Lord, thank you that it's on 478 00:24:58,040 --> 00:24:58,400 Speaker 5: the way. 479 00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:01,280 Speaker 4: Lord. I know you're a faith for God. I know 480 00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:04,600 Speaker 4: you'll hasten your word to perform it. Lord, I believe 481 00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:07,720 Speaker 4: that it will happen even sooner than expected. 482 00:25:08,520 --> 00:25:11,480 Speaker 5: Tewod King's Chapter seven. There was a great famine in 483 00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:15,479 Speaker 5: the city of Samarian. Food was so scarce that it 484 00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:19,560 Speaker 5: costs one hundred times what it normally would. On top 485 00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:23,280 Speaker 5: of that, a huge army had surrounded the city and 486 00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:26,320 Speaker 5: cut off the food supply. They were waiting for the 487 00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:29,040 Speaker 5: Israelites to start the death. Then they were going to 488 00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:32,960 Speaker 5: go in take their belongings. The prophet Elisha showed up 489 00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:36,359 Speaker 5: and said, by this time tomorrow there will be so 490 00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:39,200 Speaker 5: much food you'll be able to buy. 491 00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:41,119 Speaker 4: A loaf of bread for one penny. 492 00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:45,000 Speaker 5: God was saying things are about to turn around, and 493 00:25:45,040 --> 00:25:47,560 Speaker 5: it's going to happen faster than you think. 494 00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:51,800 Speaker 4: Overnight, in twenty four hours, there's going to be abundance. 495 00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:56,760 Speaker 5: The officer assisting the king said, Elisha, have you lost 496 00:25:56,840 --> 00:26:00,480 Speaker 5: your mind? Have you watched the news lately? Have you 497 00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:04,119 Speaker 5: seen the stock reports.
