I like to start with something funny, and 12 00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:33,440 Speaker 1: I heard about this husband. He was quietly reading his 13 00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:36,959 Speaker 1: newspaper when his wife snuck up behind him and hit 14 00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:39,960 Speaker 1: him in the head with a frying pan. He said, 15 00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:42,360 Speaker 1: what was that for? She said, that was for the 16 00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:44,879 Speaker 1: piece of paper I found in your pocket with the 17 00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:48,120 Speaker 1: name Mary Lou on it. He said, oh, honey, that's 18 00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:50,440 Speaker 1: just one of the horses that I bet on at 19 00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:54,360 Speaker 1: the racetrack last week. She apologized, went about her business. 20 00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:56,800 Speaker 1: Two days later, she hit him on the head with 21 00:00:56,800 --> 00:00:59,920 Speaker 1: a bigger frying pan. When he came to said what 22 00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:02,720 Speaker 1: I know, what was that for? She said, your horse 23 00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:07,840 Speaker 1: just called say it like you mean it. This is 24 00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:10,880 Speaker 1: my Bible. I am what it says I am. I 25 00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:13,240 Speaker 1: have what it says I have. I can do what 26 00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:15,960 Speaker 1: it says I can do. Today I will be taught 27 00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:20,000 Speaker 1: the word of God. I boldly confess. My mind is alert, 28 00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:23,279 Speaker 1: my heart is receptive. I will never be the same. 29 00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:28,160 Speaker 1: In Jesus' name, God bless you. I want to talk 30 00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:32,760 Speaker 1: to you today about pregnant with possibility. When a woman 31 00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:35,679 Speaker 1: is pregnant, for the first few months, she doesn't look 32 00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:39,520 Speaker 1: any different. She's the same size, wears the same clothes, 33 00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:43,759 Speaker 1: has the same amount of energy. From the outside. There's 34 00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:46,720 Speaker 1: no sign that she's going to have a baby. And 35 00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:48,640 Speaker 1: if you just looked at it in the natural, you 36 00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:52,240 Speaker 1: could think you're not pregnant. There's nothing different about you. 37 00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:56,640 Speaker 1: But what you can't see is on the inside, a 38 00:01:56,680 --> 00:02:02,000 Speaker 1: seed has taken root, conception has occurred. In a few months, 39 00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:06,480 Speaker 1: she'll start showing gaining more weight. A few more months, 40 00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:10,760 Speaker 1: she'll feel something kicking on the inside out of nowhere, 41 00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:14,600 Speaker 1: a kick here, a kick there. She's still never seen 42 00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:19,000 Speaker 1: the baby in person, she's never held that baby, but 43 00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:22,080 Speaker 1: she's not worried. She knows the baby is on the way. 44 00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:25,920 Speaker 1: Nine months after she conceives, she'll give birth to that 45 00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:30,280 Speaker 1: little child. In the same way. You may not realize it, 46 00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:34,160 Speaker 1: but you are pregnant. God has placed all kinds of 47 00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:44,359 Speaker 1: potential in you. There are gifts, talents, ideas He's put dreams, businesses, books, songs, healing, freedom. 48 00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:50,480 Speaker 1: You are pregnant with possibility, pregnant with increase, pregnant with healing. 49 00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:54,840 Speaker 1: And just because you don't see anything happening doesn't mean 50 00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:58,320 Speaker 1: it's not going to come to pass. That seed God 51 00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:02,720 Speaker 1: put in you has already taken root. Conception has occurred 52 00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:06,080 Speaker 1: like this woman. You may not see any sign of 53 00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:09,959 Speaker 1: it for some time, but don't worry. Your time is coming. 54 00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:15,040 Speaker 1: You are pregnant with your miracle, pregnant with abundance, may 55 00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:18,960 Speaker 1: be pregnant with a new business. And instead of being discouraged, 56 00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:22,320 Speaker 1: down our joy. It's never gonna happen. It's been so long, 57 00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:25,760 Speaker 1: I've been through too much. Our attitude should be. I 58 00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:29,360 Speaker 1: can feel something kicking on the inside. I know this 59 00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:32,320 Speaker 1: baby is still alive. I'm gonna give birth to what 60 00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:36,040 Speaker 1: God put in me. Maybe you've struggled with an addiction 61 00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:39,200 Speaker 1: for a long time, instead of believing the lie that 62 00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:42,640 Speaker 1: you could never break it. No, I'm pregnant with freedom. 63 00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:46,640 Speaker 1: I'm pregnant with wholeness. You may not see any changes, 64 00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:49,800 Speaker 1: but I can feel something kicking. I can feel something 65 00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:53,320 Speaker 1: stirring down in my spirit. When you live with this 66 00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:56,120 Speaker 1: kind of expectancy, you're going to give birth to what 67 00:03:56,240 --> 00:04:00,800 Speaker 1: God put in you. Psalm seven says the godly are 68 00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:05,240 Speaker 1: pregnant with trouble. The good news is that's not you. 69 00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:09,840 Speaker 1: You are the righteous. You're not pregnant with trouble, with bad, break, sickness, 70 00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:14,560 Speaker 1: lack depression. You are pregnant with favor, pregnant with talent, 71 00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:18,600 Speaker 1: pregnant with victory. All through the day, Lord, I want 72 00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:21,479 Speaker 1: to thank you that I'm pregnant with your promises that 73 00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:24,159 Speaker 1: I will give birth to everything you put in me. 74 00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:28,440 Speaker 1: You may not see any changes, may not look in 75 00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:30,919 Speaker 1: the natural like it's ever going to work out, but 76 00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:34,599 Speaker 1: deep down in your spirit you have to believe that 77 00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:39,200 Speaker 1: conception has occurred. You are pregnant with that new house 78 00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:43,479 Speaker 1: you've been dreaming about. In God's perfect timing, when everything 79 00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:47,040 Speaker 1: is ready, you're going to give birth. Your family may 80 00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:51,200 Speaker 1: be struggling dysfunction in your home, don't live worried. You 81 00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:56,240 Speaker 1: are pregnant with restoration, pregnant with a breakthrough, or maybe 82 00:04:56,480 --> 00:05:00,280 Speaker 1: business is slow you lost your main client. You could 83 00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:03,880 Speaker 1: easily be discouraged. But you can feel something kicking on 84 00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:07,240 Speaker 1: the inside, something saying you are the head and not 85 00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:11,880 Speaker 1: the tell whatever you touch will prosper and succeed. Perhaps 86 00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:15,440 Speaker 1: your dream looks impossible. It's been a long time. You 87 00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:18,640 Speaker 1: tried and it didn't work out, But deep down you 88 00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:21,760 Speaker 1: can't help it. Something keeps kicking, telling you that it's 89 00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:25,960 Speaker 1: on the way. What God started, he will finish. I 90 00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:29,520 Speaker 1: talked to a gentleman recently. He'd been diagnosed with cancer. 91 00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:33,040 Speaker 1: The doctors told him that it was a very invasive 92 00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:37,440 Speaker 1: type that would spread quickly to other areas. After the surgery, 93 00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:40,520 Speaker 1: he was going to have to take one year of chemotherapy. 94 00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:45,080 Speaker 1: The prognosis didn't look good. He didn't get depressed. He 95 00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:48,440 Speaker 1: didn't go around saying why God me. He understood this 96 00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:52,799 Speaker 1: principle that he was pregnant with healing. The doctors performed 97 00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:57,440 Speaker 1: the surgery. Afterwards, they came in his room scratching their heads. 98 00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:01,680 Speaker 1: They were certain that it was an invasive type, that 99 00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:06,240 Speaker 1: it would spread quickly, very dangerous. But when they retested 100 00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:09,320 Speaker 1: it it wasn't what they thought. They were able to 101 00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:12,760 Speaker 1: remove all the cancer, didn't need any more treatment. Today 102 00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:17,800 Speaker 1: he's totally cancer free. You may be struggling with an illness, 103 00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:21,920 Speaker 1: fighting a battle in your health instead of accepting it, 104 00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:25,240 Speaker 1: thinking that's the way it's always going to be. Keep 105 00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:30,200 Speaker 1: reminding yourself that you are pregnant. You already have conceived. 106 00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:33,400 Speaker 1: The healing is already in you. It's just a matter 107 00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:36,960 Speaker 1: of time before you give birth. Nothing can snatch you 108 00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:40,760 Speaker 1: out of God's hands. Don't go around negative complaining. Turn 109 00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:44,240 Speaker 1: it around. The medical report doesn't look good, but I 110 00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:46,960 Speaker 1: can feel healing kicking down on the inside of me. 111 00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:51,440 Speaker 1: No weapon formed against me will prosper. Doesn't look like 112 00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:53,599 Speaker 1: I could ever get out of debt, but I can 113 00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:57,360 Speaker 1: feel abundance kicking on the inside. I will lend and 114 00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:01,560 Speaker 1: not borrow or all my circums to say that I'll 115 00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:04,800 Speaker 1: be bearing my whole life. Never meet the right person, 116 00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:08,880 Speaker 1: never break the addiction. But deep down I can feel 117 00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:12,520 Speaker 1: something stirring in my spirit. Can I tell you I 118 00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:17,920 Speaker 1: am looking at pregnant people today. You are pregnant with possibility. 119 00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:23,000 Speaker 1: Quit telling yourself that you could never get ahead. You 120 00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:25,640 Speaker 1: don't have enough of this, enough of that. No, you 121 00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:31,080 Speaker 1: are pregnant with success, pregnant with ideas, pregnant with your destiny. 122 00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:34,160 Speaker 1: You're going to give birth to what God put in you. 123 00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:38,720 Speaker 1: It's not too late. You haven't missed your chance. In 124 00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:42,760 Speaker 1: the scripture, Sarah was nearly one hundred years old when 125 00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:46,200 Speaker 1: she gave birth to Isaac, way too old in the natural. 126 00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:50,280 Speaker 1: But we serve a supernatural God. He can make a 127 00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:54,040 Speaker 1: way when you don't see away. Don't abort your baby, 128 00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:57,400 Speaker 1: don't talk to yourself out of your dreams, don't give 129 00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:01,000 Speaker 1: up on what God promised. You can still give birth. 130 00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:05,320 Speaker 1: You can still meet the right person, still start your business, 131 00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:09,240 Speaker 1: still go to college, Still break the addiction. That seed 132 00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:13,320 Speaker 1: is still alive in you. And here's the key. You 133 00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:17,920 Speaker 1: can't judge what's in you by what's around you. All 134 00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:21,600 Speaker 1: of Sarah's circumstances said, you'll be bearing your whole life. 135 00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:26,240 Speaker 1: You're too old. Nobody your age has babies. That's impossible. 136 00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:30,200 Speaker 1: If she were to believed that lie, let that seed 137 00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:33,959 Speaker 1: take root, it would have never happened. You can draw 138 00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:37,280 Speaker 1: in the negative with your doubt, or you can draw 139 00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:40,720 Speaker 1: in God's blessings with your faith. Don't let what you 140 00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:43,920 Speaker 1: see around you cause you to give up on your dreams. 141 00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:47,440 Speaker 1: I was in a large city last week, and part 142 00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:50,680 Speaker 1: of the city was very beautiful, but another part was 143 00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:55,680 Speaker 1: very run down. Miles and miles of abandoned homes, people 144 00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:59,480 Speaker 1: living next to boarded up houses. We drove through during 145 00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:04,720 Speaker 1: the daytime. There were hundreds, if not thousands of people outside, 146 00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:09,160 Speaker 1: young and old, just hanging out, no purpose, no direction. 147 00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:13,440 Speaker 1: Most of them that's all they've ever known. They were 148 00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:20,800 Speaker 1: born into it, growing up in the projects, seeing drugs, mediocrity, violence. 149 00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:25,320 Speaker 1: You may be in some kind of limited environment today 150 00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:29,240 Speaker 1: and nothing inspiring around you. In the natural, there's no 151 00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:32,559 Speaker 1: way you could get out, get an education, be successful. 152 00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:37,200 Speaker 1: But what's around you does not determine what God put 153 00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:41,680 Speaker 1: in you. You have seeds of greatness. You are pregnant 154 00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:47,520 Speaker 1: with success, pregnant with ability, pregnant with talent. God did 155 00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:53,760 Speaker 1: not create anyone without putting something significant on the inside. 156 00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:57,360 Speaker 1: Don't let what's on the outside, how you were raised, 157 00:09:57,640 --> 00:10:02,480 Speaker 1: lack dysfunction, convince you to abort your dream. When you 158 00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:06,840 Speaker 1: get quiet alone at night, when it's just you and God, 159 00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:11,560 Speaker 1: if you'll listen carefully, you'll hear something whispering. This is 160 00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:15,600 Speaker 1: not your destiny. You were made for more. What is 161 00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:19,760 Speaker 1: that that's your baby kicking. It's because you're about to 162 00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:25,640 Speaker 1: give birth. You're going to see supernatural opportunities, explosive blessings, 163 00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:29,360 Speaker 1: divine connections. God's going to help you go where you 164 00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:32,560 Speaker 1: could not go on your own. This is what happened 165 00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:36,080 Speaker 1: to my father. He was raised in a very poor family. 166 00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:40,160 Speaker 1: His parents were cotton farmers and they lost everything during 167 00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:44,560 Speaker 1: the Great Depression. Growing up, he had no money, no education, 168 00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:49,360 Speaker 1: barely enough food to even survive. Didn't look like he 169 00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:53,320 Speaker 1: would ever amount to much. The statistics said he would 170 00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:56,160 Speaker 1: just have to stay on the farm and pick cotton 171 00:10:56,240 --> 00:11:00,120 Speaker 1: the rest of his life. But statistics don't determine in 172 00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:05,880 Speaker 1: your destiny. God does. Don't become a victim of your environment. 173 00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:10,400 Speaker 1: You are a victory. Where you are is not who 174 00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:14,120 Speaker 1: you are. When my father was seventeen, he gave his 175 00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:17,920 Speaker 1: life to Christ, the first one in his family. When 176 00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:22,800 Speaker 1: he did, something came alive on the inside. Suddenly he 177 00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:26,120 Speaker 1: had a dream to become a pastor. He knew one 178 00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:29,080 Speaker 1: day he would pastor a large church. God dropped that 179 00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:32,760 Speaker 1: in his spirit. He told me, Joel, when I was seventeen, 180 00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:37,200 Speaker 1: I made the decision that my children would never be 181 00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:40,200 Speaker 1: raised in the poverty and lack that I was raised in. 182 00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:44,520 Speaker 1: What happened He became pregnant. He could feel that baby 183 00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:47,679 Speaker 1: kicking on the inside. But if someone were to have 184 00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:51,560 Speaker 1: studied my father at the age of seventeen in that 185 00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:56,480 Speaker 1: limited environment, nobody in his family had ever been successful, 186 00:11:56,640 --> 00:12:00,400 Speaker 1: they would have thought nothing special about you. I couldn't 187 00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:04,200 Speaker 1: do anything great. In other words, you're not pregnant. There's 188 00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:07,319 Speaker 1: no sign on the outside, you're not showing. You look 189 00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:11,280 Speaker 1: just the same. But what they couldn't see was conception 190 00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:15,160 Speaker 1: had already occurred. He looked the same on the outside, 191 00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:18,920 Speaker 1: but on the inside a seed had taken root. He 192 00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:22,600 Speaker 1: knew he was destined to leave his mark in his generation. 193 00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:25,680 Speaker 1: He didn't let people talk him out of it. He 194 00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:30,079 Speaker 1: didn't let his environment hold him back. He kept praying, believing, 195 00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:34,040 Speaker 1: taking steps of faith. He gave birth to everything God 196 00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:37,800 Speaker 1: put in him. Maybe, like my father, the odds are 197 00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:41,680 Speaker 1: against you in some area. The medical report doesn't look good, 198 00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:46,200 Speaker 1: or your environment is not healthy. Nobody's supporting you. You 199 00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:49,920 Speaker 1: don't have the connections the resources. Don't talk yourself out 200 00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:54,280 Speaker 1: of it. Keep reminding yourself that you are pregnant. The 201 00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:58,360 Speaker 1: seed put in you by your creator has already taken root. 202 00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:01,600 Speaker 1: Doesn't have anything to do with what you have or 203 00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:05,400 Speaker 1: don't have, what family you come from, how talented you are. 204 00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:09,480 Speaker 1: It is a destiny seed. When you give birth, you're 205 00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:13,680 Speaker 1: gonna go further than you ever imagine. Sarah was eighty 206 00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:18,480 Speaker 1: years old, never had a baby. Everywhere she looked it 207 00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:21,920 Speaker 1: said that she would be bearing her whole life. Too bad, 208 00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:26,040 Speaker 1: you're too old. It's just impossible. She couldn't find another 209 00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:29,880 Speaker 1: eighty year old woman that it ever had a baby. 210 00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:33,040 Speaker 1: If she could at least found one, she could have said, well, God, 211 00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:35,200 Speaker 1: you did it for her, you can do it for me. 212 00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:39,160 Speaker 1: She couldn't find anyone. You may look around and think, Joel, 213 00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:42,439 Speaker 1: I don't know anyone. This got out of my neighborhood 214 00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:46,240 Speaker 1: and done something significant. I don't know anyone that's overcome 215 00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:49,720 Speaker 1: the illness I'm dealing with, or nobody in my family 216 00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:52,960 Speaker 1: has been able to break these addictions. The good news 217 00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:55,800 Speaker 1: is you can be the first. You can set the 218 00:13:55,840 --> 00:14:00,480 Speaker 1: new standards. You can be the barrier breaker. God said 219 00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:04,320 Speaker 1: to Sarah. I will give you a son. You will 220 00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:08,160 Speaker 1: be the mother of nations. Kings of people will come 221 00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:12,360 Speaker 1: out of you. Here's an eighty year old woman that's barren. 222 00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:18,640 Speaker 1: She's living in the desert. No medical procedures, no infertility treatments. 223 00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:22,360 Speaker 1: Yet God says, you have kings in you. You have 224 00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:26,520 Speaker 1: nations in you. He was saying, Sarah, don't let the 225 00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:30,600 Speaker 1: circumstances fool you. Don't let your environment talk you out 226 00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:33,880 Speaker 1: of it. Don't let your own thoughts discourage you. You 227 00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:37,800 Speaker 1: are pregnant with greatness. God is saying the same thing 228 00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:41,640 Speaker 1: to you. You have kings in you. You have greatness 229 00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:45,640 Speaker 1: in you. You are pregnant with success, pregnant with talent, 230 00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:50,000 Speaker 1: pregnant with your destiny. The prophet Joel said, to wake 231 00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:54,440 Speaker 1: up the mighty men, wake up the mighty women. I'm 232 00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:58,440 Speaker 1: here to wake up your dreams, Wake up your talents, 233 00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:03,680 Speaker 1: wake up your potential. Wake up what God put in you. 234 00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:07,120 Speaker 1: You may have let some circumstances convince you that it's 235 00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:10,600 Speaker 1: never gonna happen, But I believe you're gonna start feeling 236 00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:14,720 Speaker 1: some kicking on the inside. That baby, that dream, that promise, 237 00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:18,960 Speaker 1: it's still alive in you. You better get ready. You're 238 00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:21,880 Speaker 1: gonna give birth to something that's gonna take you further 239 00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:24,280 Speaker 1: than you could ever imagine. It's gonna thrust you to 240 00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:27,960 Speaker 1: a new level of your destiny. A lady told me 241 00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:30,240 Speaker 1: how she had had a stroke and she'd been in 242 00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:33,320 Speaker 1: the hospital for three weeks and finally was able to 243 00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:37,040 Speaker 1: come back home, and she was very depressed. She didn't 244 00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:40,280 Speaker 1: think she'd ever be able to walk again. She lost 245 00:15:40,320 --> 00:15:44,960 Speaker 1: her passion, lost her drive. The scripture talks about fighting 246 00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:48,320 Speaker 1: the good fight of faith. You can't be passive and 247 00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:51,640 Speaker 1: just accept whatever comes along and think that that's your 248 00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:57,040 Speaker 1: lot in life. We all have bad breaks, disappointments, those 249 00:15:57,160 --> 00:16:00,200 Speaker 1: challenges are not there to defeat you. They're there to 250 00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:03,560 Speaker 1: promote you. On the other side is a new level 251 00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:06,480 Speaker 1: of God's goodness. But you have to do your part 252 00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:10,080 Speaker 1: and get your fire back. One Sunday, she heard me 253 00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:14,120 Speaker 1: on television talking about how God wants to restore what's 254 00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:17,080 Speaker 1: been stolen, how he can give you beauty for ashes, 255 00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:20,280 Speaker 1: how you can still live healthy and whole. When she 256 00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:24,240 Speaker 1: heard that, she said, something woke up in her spirit, 257 00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:29,560 Speaker 1: something came alive on the inside. What happened That baby 258 00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:34,840 Speaker 1: started kicking. She was already pregnant with healing. God already 259 00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:38,960 Speaker 1: had the restoration there. But when her spirit came alive, 260 00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:42,720 Speaker 1: in other words, when she started believing, that's when things 261 00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:45,880 Speaker 1: begin to change. Instead of going around thinking I'll never 262 00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:50,000 Speaker 1: walk again, I'll never get well, she started declaring, I 263 00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:53,560 Speaker 1: am healthy, I am strong, I am well able, I 264 00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:58,040 Speaker 1: am restored against all the odds. Way ahead of schedule. 265 00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:03,040 Speaker 1: She told how she's already talking again, she's getting stronger, healthier. 266 00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:08,280 Speaker 1: But it all started when something woke up in her spirit. Maybe, 267 00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:12,320 Speaker 1: like her, you've let something steal your passion. You don't 268 00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:15,119 Speaker 1: think you could ever get well, or meet the right person, 269 00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:19,880 Speaker 1: accomplish a dream that everything you need is already in you. 270 00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:22,840 Speaker 1: If you'll stir your faith up like she did and 271 00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:26,320 Speaker 1: get in agreement with God, then you will give birth 272 00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:30,159 Speaker 1: to your healing, birth to your dreams, birth to those promises. 273 00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:34,760 Speaker 1: Genesis three point fifteen says the seed of the woman 274 00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:38,520 Speaker 1: will bruise the head of the serpent in the garden 275 00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:42,080 Speaker 1: of Eden. You remember how the serpent deceived Eve and 276 00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:46,840 Speaker 1: brought about all kinds of trouble. God was saying, in effect, Eve, 277 00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:51,240 Speaker 1: it's payback time. You're going to give birth to something 278 00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:55,439 Speaker 1: that's going to defeat the thing that's tried to defeat you. 279 00:17:55,440 --> 00:18:00,840 Speaker 1: Your seed will bruise his head. Too often we're looking 280 00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:04,560 Speaker 1: for something from the outside to help us overcome, but 281 00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:08,160 Speaker 1: God has put it on the inside. If you'll give 282 00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:10,719 Speaker 1: birth to what God put in you, you won't have 283 00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:14,080 Speaker 1: to rely on other people. If you'll give birth to 284 00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:17,880 Speaker 1: that dream, that gift, that talent, like my father, your 285 00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:20,760 Speaker 1: gift will make room for you. Your gift will open 286 00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:23,720 Speaker 1: some new doors. Or maybe if you'll give birth to 287 00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:28,639 Speaker 1: that idea, that book, that talent, then you can deliver 288 00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:34,000 Speaker 1: yourself from lack and struggling. Jesus said, out of your 289 00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:39,080 Speaker 1: belly will flow rivers of living water. Your deliverance is 290 00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:42,879 Speaker 1: not going to come from other people. Your promotion, your healing, 291 00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:46,240 Speaker 1: your breakthrough is going to come from within you. Out 292 00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:50,280 Speaker 1: of your belly shall flow rivers. This is where Sarah 293 00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:53,640 Speaker 1: almost missed it. She thought the promise would come through 294 00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:57,879 Speaker 1: somebody else. She reasoned it out, thinking she was too old. 295 00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:01,359 Speaker 1: How could she have kings and nations in her She 296 00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:05,240 Speaker 1: was in her eighties, She couldn't have a baby. She 297 00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:09,320 Speaker 1: tried to help God out, had her husband Abraham sleep 298 00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:12,680 Speaker 1: with her maid. They had a baby, but it wasn't 299 00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:16,520 Speaker 1: the promised child. God said, Sarah, I didn't put the 300 00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:19,919 Speaker 1: promise in somebody else. You don't need other people to 301 00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:24,040 Speaker 1: deliver you, Sarah, I put the promise in you. God 302 00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:27,160 Speaker 1: is saying the same thing to us. You are pregnant 303 00:19:27,200 --> 00:19:31,520 Speaker 1: with your miracle. You are pregnant with the victory. You 304 00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:34,720 Speaker 1: don't need other people. You don't have to hope they 305 00:19:34,840 --> 00:19:37,159 Speaker 1: help you, Hope they like you, hope they give you 306 00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:40,159 Speaker 1: a good break. Like Sarah, it's not gonna come from 307 00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:44,360 Speaker 1: the outside, It's gonna come from the inside. God has 308 00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:49,040 Speaker 1: already put it in you. If you'll dare believe that 309 00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:53,040 Speaker 1: you have what it takes, go out each day with expectancy, 310 00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:57,399 Speaker 1: knowing that you're pregnant, then you can deliver yourself. You 311 00:19:57,480 --> 00:20:00,119 Speaker 1: will give birth to what God put on the inside 312 00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:03,879 Speaker 1: of you. Paul said it this way in Ephesians. God 313 00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:07,320 Speaker 1: is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all. We can 314 00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:11,920 Speaker 1: ask or think according to the power that works in you. 315 00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:15,399 Speaker 1: It's not according to the power that works in your neighbor, 316 00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:19,000 Speaker 1: your cousin, your pastor your friend. The power is working 317 00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:22,520 Speaker 1: in you. Well, you say Joel I believe I'm pregnant. 318 00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:26,359 Speaker 1: I have big dreams. I'm standing on God's promises, but 319 00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:29,760 Speaker 1: everything is coming against me. Seems like the more I pray, 320 00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:32,560 Speaker 1: the worse it gets. I'm doing the right thing, but 321 00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:36,320 Speaker 1: the wrong thing is happening. Here's the beauty. Pain is 322 00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:41,040 Speaker 1: a sign that you're about to give birth. Trouble, difficulties, 323 00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:46,200 Speaker 1: being uncomfortable, that's a sign that you're getting closer. When 324 00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:50,000 Speaker 1: Victoria was pregnant with our two children, first couple months, 325 00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:53,920 Speaker 1: no big deal. Everything was fine. But about seven or 326 00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:57,960 Speaker 1: eight months in her back started hurting, her feet started swelling, 327 00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:01,880 Speaker 1: she couldn't sleep well at night. The longer she was pregnant, 328 00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:06,120 Speaker 1: the more uncomfortable she was. When she went into labor, 329 00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:09,439 Speaker 1: I was in the delivery room right next to her bed, 330 00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:13,320 Speaker 1: and she had her hand on my bice app When 331 00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:15,920 Speaker 1: she would have a contraction, it would hurt so badly. 332 00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:19,560 Speaker 1: She would squeeze my arm as hard as she could. 333 00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:24,720 Speaker 1: She would scream. Then I would scream. The closer she 334 00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:28,480 Speaker 1: got to the birth, the more painful it was. When 335 00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:32,840 Speaker 1: everything comes against you, your child's acting up, trouble at work, 336 00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:36,560 Speaker 1: set back in your finances, don't get discouraged you're about 337 00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:39,240 Speaker 1: to give birth. You're about to see a promise come 338 00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:44,160 Speaker 1: to pass. In these tough times is when many people 339 00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:48,399 Speaker 1: abort their dreams. Thinking. I knew it wouldn't work out, Joel. 340 00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:51,440 Speaker 1: The bank turned me down. The medical report wasn't good. 341 00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:55,640 Speaker 1: I didn't get the promotion. No, recognize those are labor pains. 342 00:21:56,160 --> 00:21:59,880 Speaker 1: You're getting closer. Stay in faith, keep doing the right thing. 343 00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:02,800 Speaker 1: The berth is on the way. There was a young 344 00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:06,159 Speaker 1: couple out hiking through the woods. They came upon this 345 00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:10,359 Speaker 1: large field of wild mushrooms. They decided to take some 346 00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:13,359 Speaker 1: home and cook them. They had some friends over that 347 00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:16,159 Speaker 1: night and they all ate dinner together. One of the 348 00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:20,600 Speaker 1: side dishes were these sauted mushrooms. At one point, the 349 00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:23,840 Speaker 1: family cat came in the room. She was a large 350 00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:27,640 Speaker 1: cat that loved to eat. The husband grabbed some mushrooms 351 00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:30,240 Speaker 1: and fed them to the cat, and she ate them 352 00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:33,760 Speaker 1: like they were dessert. About an hour later, he heard 353 00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:36,960 Speaker 1: the cat making a strange sound. He ran in there 354 00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:39,439 Speaker 1: to check on her and she was lying flat on 355 00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:43,800 Speaker 1: her back, foaming at the mouth in intense pain. He 356 00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:46,920 Speaker 1: called the veterinarian. The doctor said, what has the cat 357 00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:51,280 Speaker 1: eaten recently? The man said, wild mushrooms, but we've all 358 00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:54,679 Speaker 1: eaten them too. The doctor said they may be poisonous. 359 00:22:54,800 --> 00:22:57,160 Speaker 1: You better get up to the emergency room and get 360 00:22:57,240 --> 00:23:00,520 Speaker 1: checked out. The man and all of his guests rushed 361 00:23:00,520 --> 00:23:03,920 Speaker 1: to the emergency room. A few hours later, he came 362 00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:06,480 Speaker 1: back to his house and went into check on the cat, 363 00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:10,120 Speaker 1: thinking that she would be knocked out. Instead, the cat 364 00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:13,960 Speaker 1: was sitting there calmly with the seven kittens she had 365 00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:19,080 Speaker 1: just given birth to. Sometimes what we think is a 366 00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:24,200 Speaker 1: setback is really just labor pains. That difficulty you're facing 367 00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:29,080 Speaker 1: is not the end. It's a part of the birthing process. 368 00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:32,680 Speaker 1: You're about to step into a new level of your destiny. 369 00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:36,800 Speaker 1: Don't be discouraged by the disappointment, the closed door, the 370 00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:39,680 Speaker 1: bad break. That's a sign you're about to give birth. 371 00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:42,800 Speaker 1: I read about a gentleman that was having a tough 372 00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:46,840 Speaker 1: time paying his bills. He'd had a rough childhood. At 373 00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:49,440 Speaker 1: the age of two, his father went to the store 374 00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:53,040 Speaker 1: to buy groceries and never returned home, left the mother 375 00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:56,560 Speaker 1: to raise two small children. In college, he fell in 376 00:23:56,680 --> 00:23:59,480 Speaker 1: love and met his wife. He is so poor he 377 00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:02,360 Speaker 1: had to borrow a suit and tie for his wedding. 378 00:24:02,880 --> 00:24:05,159 Speaker 1: He and his wife had a newborn baby, and they 379 00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:08,960 Speaker 1: were living in this old rundown trailer. He drove a 380 00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:13,640 Speaker 1: rusted out car held together with wire and duct tape 381 00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:16,320 Speaker 1: in the summers. During the day, he worked for a 382 00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:20,840 Speaker 1: laundry company, making sixty dollars a week. At night, he 383 00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:24,399 Speaker 1: worked as a janitor, cleaning offices. He had a dream 384 00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:27,480 Speaker 1: to become a writer, but he couldn't afford a typewriter. 385 00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:30,760 Speaker 1: He borrowed one from a friend and set it up 386 00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:34,199 Speaker 1: in his small laundry room. When he wasn't working, he 387 00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:38,600 Speaker 1: would spend hour after hour writing fiction. He sent his 388 00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:42,600 Speaker 1: stories away to different publishers and agents, but every one 389 00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:45,879 Speaker 1: of them was rejected. He didn't even know if people 390 00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:49,480 Speaker 1: were really reading them. He wrote one final story, but 391 00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:53,200 Speaker 1: was so discouraged through it in the trash. His wife 392 00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:56,440 Speaker 1: came home, found it crumpled up in the garbage, got 393 00:24:56,480 --> 00:24:59,320 Speaker 1: it out, and eventually they sent that story to a 394 00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:04,200 Speaker 1: different public This time the publisher responded and offered him 395 00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:08,200 Speaker 1: a contract. That story went on to sell over five 396 00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:12,040 Speaker 1: million copies. In nineteen seventy six, it was made into 397 00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:15,400 Speaker 1: a movie. It became one of the top grossing films 398 00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:19,040 Speaker 1: of that year. That young man was Stephen King, one 399 00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:23,040 Speaker 1: of the most successful writers of our day. Like him, 400 00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:26,840 Speaker 1: some of you are pregnant with a book, pregnant with 401 00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:30,040 Speaker 1: the movie, pregnant with the business, may be pregnant with 402 00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:33,840 Speaker 1: the charity. You've had disappointments, you tried and it didn't 403 00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:36,760 Speaker 1: work out, but you can still feel the kicking on 404 00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:40,600 Speaker 1: the inside. You can't get away from it. Don't talk 405 00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:43,760 Speaker 1: yourself out of it. It's all a part of the process. 406 00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:48,640 Speaker 1: Keep trying, keep believing, doing everything you can, and at 407 00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:52,520 Speaker 1: the right time you will give birth. The right people 408 00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:56,560 Speaker 1: will show up, the right opportunities, the right breaks. You 409 00:25:56,600 --> 00:25:59,119 Speaker 1: couldn't make it happen on your own. It was the 410 00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:02,399 Speaker 1: hand of God, and what He's put in you is 411 00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:05,439 Speaker 1: going to be bigger than you can imagine, better than 412 00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:09,880 Speaker 1: you've ever dreamed, more rewarding than you thought possible. Now 413 00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:14,040 Speaker 1: do your part, get your hopes up every morning. Remind 414 00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:19,560 Speaker 1: yourself you are pregnant, not with rejection, failure, disappointments, defeat. 415 00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:24,480 Speaker 1: You are pregnant with victory, pregnant with success, pregnant with 416 00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:27,400 Speaker 1: the favor of God. And sure you may have had 417 00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:30,720 Speaker 1: some bad breaks, but like Sarah, you are not going 418 00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:33,960 Speaker 1: to live your life, barn, You're not going to die 419 00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:37,480 Speaker 1: with that baby still in you. God has the final say, 420 00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:42,119 Speaker 1: and he says a birth is coming. What He's promised 421 00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:45,639 Speaker 1: is on the way. Keep honoring him, keep being your best, 422 00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:49,159 Speaker 1: and I believe and declare you will give birth to 423 00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:53,680 Speaker 1: everything God put in you and become everything God created 424 00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:57,280 Speaker 1: you to be in Jesus's name. If you receive it today, 425 00:26:57,680 --> 00:27:01,280 Speaker 1: can you say amen? We never like to close our 426 00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:05,000 Speaker 1: broadcast without giving you an opportunity to make Jesus the 427 00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:08,440 Speaker 1: lord of your life. Would you pray with me? Just say, 428 00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:14,240 Speaker 1: Lord Jesus, I'll repent of my sins, Come into my heart. 429 00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:19,119 Speaker 1: I'll make you my Lord and savior. Friends, if you 430 00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:21,840 Speaker 1: prayed that simple prayer, we believe you got born again. 431 00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:25,439 Speaker 1: Get in a good Bible based church. Keep God first place. 432 00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:28,040 Speaker 1: He's going to take your places that you've never dreamed. 433 00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:32,040 Speaker 2: Fear can be a powerful force, and we'll try to 434 00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:36,840 Speaker 2: make you feel alone, stuck without hope. But fear doesn't 435 00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:40,440 Speaker 2: have to get the final say. There is a way out. 436 00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:43,800 Speaker 1: Fear is a powerful force, but so is faith. What 437 00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:47,159 Speaker 1: we focus on shapes our reality. In my new book, 438 00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:50,320 Speaker 1: No More, fear. You have the mind of Christ.
