1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:02,160
Speaker 1: Hi, this is Joel and Victoria.

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

Speaker 2: the ministry. If you enjoy today's message, why don't you

Speaker 2: you and pray for God's very best in your life. Well,

Speaker 2: God bless you. It's a joy to come into your homes.

9
00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:25,680
Speaker 2: promise you we'll make you feel right at home. I

10
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:28,040
Speaker 2: like to start with something funny, and I heard about

11
00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:31,600
Speaker 2: this elderly man. He'd had a serious hearing problem for

12
00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:34,760
Speaker 2: many years. He went to the doctor and was fitted

13
00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:37,920
Speaker 2: with this new, high tech, state of the art hearing

14
00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:41,600
Speaker 2: aid to where he could hear one hundred percent. Months later,

15
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:43,640
Speaker 2: he came back to the doctor for a check up.

16
00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:47,720
Speaker 2: Doctor said, wow, your hearing is perfect. Your family must

17
00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:50,720
Speaker 2: be so excited that you can hear again. He said, no,

18
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:52,320
Speaker 2: I haven't told my family.

19
00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:54,240
Speaker 1: I just sit around listen.

20
00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:57,520
Speaker 2: To the different conversations and I've changed my will three times.

21
00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:02,320
Speaker 1: Say it, I mean it. This is my Bible. I

22
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:04,880
Speaker 1: am what it says, I am, I have what it says.

23
00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:05,200
Speaker 1: I have.

24
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:08,240
Speaker 2: I can do what it says I can do. Today,

25
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:11,640
Speaker 2: I will be taught the word of God. I'll boldly confess.

26
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:15,480
Speaker 2: My mind is alert, my heart is receptive. I will

27
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:19,280
Speaker 2: never be the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you.

28
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:22,880
Speaker 2: I want to talk to you today about it's on

29
00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:24,119
Speaker 2: the way.

30
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:25,720
Speaker 1: What you're believing for.

31
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:30,319
Speaker 2: The promises you're standing on, the dreams you've been praying about,

32
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:32,040
Speaker 2: they're already en route.

33
00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:35,880
Speaker 1: The healing is coming, the promotion is coming. The right

34
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:36,800
Speaker 1: people are coming.

35
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:40,680
Speaker 2: You may not see any signs of it, yet everything

36
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:45,160
Speaker 2: looks the same. What you can't see is behind the scenes.

37
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:48,520
Speaker 2: God is moving the wrong people out of the way,

38
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:52,680
Speaker 2: pushing back the forces of darkness. He's arranging things in

39
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:55,440
Speaker 2: your favor, lining up the breaks you need.

40
00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:57,640
Speaker 1: He's called the author.

41
00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:00,880
Speaker 2: And the finisher of our faith. He's going to finish

42
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:04,320
Speaker 2: what he started in your life. God didn't bring you.

43
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:06,480
Speaker 1: This far to leave you.

44
00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:09,519
Speaker 2: You may have big challenges, but we serve a big God.

45
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:14,240
Speaker 2: Your enemies may be powerful, but our God is all powerful.

46
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:17,880
Speaker 2: That dream may look impossible. You don't think you have

47
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:21,480
Speaker 2: the connections, the resources, the talent. But God can do

48
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:25,960
Speaker 2: the impossible, even when the odds are against you. God

49
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:29,080
Speaker 2: is for you, and he's saying it's on the way.

50
00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:31,640
Speaker 1: Sometimes you need.

51
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:35,240
Speaker 2: These words of faith spoken over your life. Words have

52
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:39,400
Speaker 2: creative power. If you'll let them take root, they'll ignite

53
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:42,880
Speaker 2: the faith in your spirit. Because life has a way

54
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:45,880
Speaker 2: of pushing us down. If you're not careful. You look

55
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:49,920
Speaker 2: up and you're not believing like you used to, not passionate,

56
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:50,880
Speaker 2: not dreaming.

57
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:54,079
Speaker 1: You don't see how your situation could ever work out.

58
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:55,520
Speaker 1: But here's the key.

59
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:59,120
Speaker 2: You don't have to figure it out. Our job is

60
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:02,359
Speaker 2: to believe. Our job is to go out each day

61
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:06,440
Speaker 2: with expectancy, saying God, I may not see away, but

62
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:08,960
Speaker 2: I know you have a way. Now. I believe my

63
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:12,680
Speaker 2: breakthrough is on the way. I believe my healing, the

64
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:16,520
Speaker 2: promotion freedom from this addiction. It's just a matter of

65
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:17,760
Speaker 2: time before.

66
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:18,160
Speaker 1: It shows up.

67
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:22,280
Speaker 2: If you don't have this anticipation that is on the way,

68
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:25,480
Speaker 2: then it can keep it from happening. You may have

69
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:29,680
Speaker 2: big obstacles in your path you can't overcome on your own.

70
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:33,200
Speaker 2: The good news is you're not on your own. You

71
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:36,880
Speaker 2: have the most powerful force in the universe breathing in

72
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:41,920
Speaker 2: your direction. When he speaks red sea's part, blind eyes,

73
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:45,280
Speaker 2: open dreams, come back to life. We look at our

74
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:50,760
Speaker 2: circumstances in the natural, but he's a supernatural God. Isaiah said,

75
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:56,400
Speaker 2: He's going before you, making crooked places straight, fighting your battles.

76
00:03:56,720 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 2: No person can stop you, no bad break, no sickness,

77
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:03,320
Speaker 2: and it's no failure. Get your fire back. You have

78
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 2: to stir your faith up. Maybe at one time you

79
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:12,120
Speaker 2: believed you were passionate, excited about life, but things haven't

80
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 2: turned out the way you'd hoped. You had some bad break,

81
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:19,719
Speaker 2: some disappointments. God is saying it's time to believe again.

82
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:24,360
Speaker 2: It's time to dream again. You haven't seen your best days.

83
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:28,640
Speaker 2: What God promised you is still going to come to pass.

84
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 1: It's not too late.

85
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:33,200
Speaker 2: You haven't missed too many opportunities. If it would have

86
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:35,760
Speaker 2: happened sooner, it wouldn't have been the right time.

87
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:39,120
Speaker 1: Now is the time start believing again.

88
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:43,599
Speaker 2: Maybe somebody walked out on you and did you wrong,

89
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:47,680
Speaker 2: but that didn't stop God's plan for your life. Don't

90
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:50,839
Speaker 2: give up on your dreams. Live hurt and wounded, thinking

91
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:54,760
Speaker 2: they ruined my life. They don't control your destiny. They

92
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:57,839
Speaker 2: don't have that much power over you. What they did

93
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:00,680
Speaker 2: may not have been fair, but God is going to

94
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 2: make it up to you. He's saying, new beginnings are

95
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:08,400
Speaker 2: on the way, new friendships, new opportunities. They meant it

96
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:11,360
Speaker 2: for your harm. God's going to use it for your good.

97
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:15,000
Speaker 2: You may have struggled in your finances a long time,

98
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:17,680
Speaker 2: you can't seem to get ahead, and now you've just

99
00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 2: settled there thinking that's the way it's always going to be.

100
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:24,560
Speaker 1: God is saying, I have increase on the way.

101
00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:29,920
Speaker 2: I have favor promotion opportunities that have your name on them.

102
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 2: God said he would open the windows of heaven pour

103
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:37,240
Speaker 2: out blessings that we could not contain. Why don't you

104
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:40,000
Speaker 2: get up each day and say, Father, thank you that

105
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 2: abundance is coming my way, thank you that our lend

106
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:46,400
Speaker 2: did not borrow. Thank you that you're opening doors that

107
00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:50,320
Speaker 2: no man can shut. When you live with this expectancy,

108
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:54,359
Speaker 2: that's when dreams come to pass, doors open that you

109
00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:58,960
Speaker 2: could never open. That's when you'll see explosive blessings, blessings

110
00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:02,280
Speaker 2: that catapult you to the next level. But too many

111
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:05,400
Speaker 2: people have given up on what God's put in their heart.

112
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:08,560
Speaker 2: They tried and it didn't work out, and now they

113
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:12,240
Speaker 2: think the dream is dead. They'll never get well, never

114
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:15,760
Speaker 2: meet the right person, never come into abundance. But what

115
00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:19,960
Speaker 2: you think is dead is not really dead. That seed

116
00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:24,920
Speaker 2: is still alive. God doesn't abort dreams. He doesn't give

117
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:29,000
Speaker 2: up on what he put in us. John chapter eleven.

118
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:32,960
Speaker 2: Word came to Jesus that his good friend Lazarus was

119
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:36,559
Speaker 2: very sick. He was in another city and they wanted

120
00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:39,919
Speaker 2: Jesus to come pray for him. Jesus was delayed for

121
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:41,200
Speaker 2: a couple of days, and.

122
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:43,000
Speaker 1: Lazarus ended up dying.

123
00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:47,960
Speaker 2: But it's interesting, Jesus said to his disciples in verse eleven,

124
00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:51,520
Speaker 2: our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep.

125
00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:54,240
Speaker 1: I'm going there to wake him up.

126
00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:59,840
Speaker 2: Lazarus was clearly dead, but Jesus had a different perspective.

127
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:02,479
Speaker 1: He said, he's only asleep.

128
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:07,240
Speaker 2: Could it be what you think is dead? Looks like

129
00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:10,720
Speaker 2: your marriage is never gonna make it. You'll never get well,

130
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:16,040
Speaker 2: never accomplish the dream, like Lazarus. All the circumstances say

131
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:20,360
Speaker 2: that it's over and done. But God says, I have

132
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:24,680
Speaker 2: a different perspective. I can see things that you can't see.

133
00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:27,240
Speaker 2: It's not dead, it's just asleep.

134
00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:31,600
Speaker 1: It may look permanent. The truth is, it's only temporary.

135
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:36,760
Speaker 2: Jesus showed up at Lazarus House four days later. He'd

136
00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:39,960
Speaker 2: been in the tomb so long that he's stunk. It

137
00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:44,640
Speaker 2: was so dead that it smelled badly. At times, we

138
00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:48,880
Speaker 2: all have things in life that stink. Maybe your marriage

139
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:53,120
Speaker 2: feels so dead that it stinks. That bankruptcy, that layoff stinks.

140
00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:56,920
Speaker 2: That mistake you made that sets you back, it stinks.

141
00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:00,560
Speaker 2: Jesus went to the tomb and told them to roll

142
00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:05,680
Speaker 2: away the stone. Martha said, no, Jesus, it smells too badly.

143
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:08,000
Speaker 2: You're not going to like it. You're gonna be put

144
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:11,320
Speaker 2: off by it. Jesus said, no, Martha, have them roll

145
00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:16,200
Speaker 2: away that stone. What's the point Jesus went to where

146
00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:20,680
Speaker 2: the stink was. Sometimes we think that God will only

147
00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:24,640
Speaker 2: help us if we live perfect, everything is nice and whole.

148
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:28,280
Speaker 2: But God goes to the stinky places in our lives.

149
00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:31,680
Speaker 2: That person that hurts you, did you wrong. It stinks.

150
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:35,160
Speaker 2: God is saying, let me in. I'm going to wake

151
00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:38,600
Speaker 2: up the healing, wake up the restoration, wake up the

152
00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:43,520
Speaker 2: new beginning. That mistake you made, you feel condemned. Every

153
00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:47,160
Speaker 2: voice tells you God's not gonna bless you. Nothing good

154
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:48,360
Speaker 2: is coming your way.

155
00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:49,880
Speaker 1: You blew it. You stink.

156
00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:53,920
Speaker 2: God is saying, no, roll that stone away. I'm not

157
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:58,040
Speaker 2: bothered by the stink. God goes to the stinky places

158
00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:01,480
Speaker 2: where you were betrayed, where you lost the loved one,

159
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:05,040
Speaker 2: where you compromised, you feel disqualified.

160
00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:10,199
Speaker 1: God says, let me end. The stink is only temporary.

161
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:13,040
Speaker 1: The dream is not dead. It's just a sleep.

162
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:18,040
Speaker 2: Jesus looked at Lazarus and he spoke to him, said, Lazarus,

163
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:18,760
Speaker 2: come forth.

164
00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:22,120
Speaker 1: Lazarus woke up. He'd been dead for four.

165
00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:24,080
Speaker 2: Days, but he came up out of the tomb, and

166
00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:27,840
Speaker 2: he went on to live many more years. I believe

167
00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:31,680
Speaker 2: today things that you've given up on, things that you

168
00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:35,320
Speaker 2: think are dead, like Lazarus, they're about to wake up.

169
00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:39,000
Speaker 2: Marriages are going to wake up. Dreams are waking up.

170
00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:43,040
Speaker 2: Healing's waking up, Abundance is waking up. God is saying

171
00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:46,199
Speaker 2: to us what he said to the disciples.

172
00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:49,480
Speaker 1: It's not dead, it's just asleep.

173
00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:55,160
Speaker 2: Healing is coming, joy is coming, Victory is coming. It

174
00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:58,200
Speaker 2: may have been sleep a long time. You think there's

175
00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:01,280
Speaker 2: no way it could happen. Now, that's what Mary and

176
00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:04,520
Speaker 2: Martha thought. But it's not too late, it's not too

177
00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:05,200
Speaker 2: far gone.

178
00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:08,000
Speaker 1: You need to get ready. God's about to wake it up.

179
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:12,520
Speaker 2: This is what he did for Sarah, a young lady

180
00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:16,640
Speaker 2: in the scripture. She and her husband Abraham had tried

181
00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:20,880
Speaker 2: for twenty years to have a baby, no success. Now

182
00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:25,880
Speaker 2: Sarah is eighty years old. Everything logically speaking said, there's

183
00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:26,440
Speaker 2: no way.

184
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:28,400
Speaker 1: But what God has.

185
00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:31,680
Speaker 2: Promised you he's still going to bring to pass. God

186
00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:34,840
Speaker 2: is not limited by the laws of nature. You're not

187
00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:38,040
Speaker 2: at the mercy of your age, your education, your background.

188
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:42,679
Speaker 2: God has unlimited power. One touch of his favor can

189
00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:47,280
Speaker 2: turn a situation around. Sarah thought her womb was dead.

190
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:48,800
Speaker 1: What she didn't.

191
00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:52,720
Speaker 2: Realize was it was only asleep. At nearly one hundred

192
00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:56,160
Speaker 2: years old, she gave birth to a baby. The promise

193
00:10:56,240 --> 00:11:00,600
Speaker 2: came to pass. Like Sarah, God has put dream and

194
00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:04,640
Speaker 2: promises in You may not have happened, yet, You've tried

195
00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:05,520
Speaker 2: again and again.

196
00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:08,560
Speaker 1: It didn't work out. Now maybe you've settled there and think,

197
00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:11,400
Speaker 1: go I just wasn't meant to be. But God is

198
00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:12,920
Speaker 1: full of surprises.

199
00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:16,240
Speaker 2: He's about to wake up that dream you've given up on.

200
00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:19,679
Speaker 2: He's about to bring back to life what you thought

201
00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:24,120
Speaker 2: was dead. Your latter days are going to be more rewarding,

202
00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:27,800
Speaker 2: more fulfilling than your former days. You're going to give

203
00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:30,640
Speaker 2: birth to more in the future than you've lost in

204
00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:34,720
Speaker 2: the past. Your baby is on the way, Your promise

205
00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:35,360
Speaker 2: is on the way.

206
00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:37,280
Speaker 1: That dream is on the way.

207
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:41,720
Speaker 2: As a young man, Moses made a mistake and killed

208
00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:45,080
Speaker 2: a man. He was trying to deliver God's people. He

209
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:47,360
Speaker 2: had that dream in his heart, but he got in

210
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:50,640
Speaker 2: a hurry he had to flee for his life. He

211
00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:53,640
Speaker 2: ended up spending years on the back side of the desert.

212
00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:57,880
Speaker 2: I'm sure he thought I had a big dream. I

213
00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:00,000
Speaker 2: knew I was going to do something great with my life.

214
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:01,560
Speaker 2: I knew I was going to leave my mark.

215
00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:02,640
Speaker 1: But I blew it.

216
00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:05,720
Speaker 2: He gave up on his dream, and he had nobody

217
00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:09,800
Speaker 2: to blame except himself. But just because we give up

218
00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:14,400
Speaker 2: doesn't mean God gives up. Forty years later, God came back,

219
00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:18,360
Speaker 2: said Moses, I'm here to wake up your dream. Now

220
00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:21,520
Speaker 2: it's time to go deliver my people. Moses went out

221
00:12:21,559 --> 00:12:22,320
Speaker 2: and did just that.

222
00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:26,640
Speaker 1: He saw the dream come to pass. Like Moses, you

223
00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:28,640
Speaker 1: may have made mistakes. We all have.

224
00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:33,439
Speaker 2: Like Sarah, you may have had disappointments, your plans didn't

225
00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:37,080
Speaker 2: work out. Now you think it's been too long. What

226
00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:40,920
Speaker 2: you've given up on is not dead. It's just a sleep.

227
00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:44,880
Speaker 2: That business you wanted to start, that book you wanted

228
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:48,560
Speaker 2: to write, that addiction you've been trying to break. Every

229
00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:51,480
Speaker 2: voice tells you it's too late, You're too old. It's

230
00:12:51,520 --> 00:12:54,400
Speaker 2: never gonna happen. No, get ready, God's about to wake

231
00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:56,440
Speaker 2: it up. Your baby is coming, your.

232
00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 1: Spouse is coming, That business is coming. The freedom is coming.

233
00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:04,880
Speaker 2: Now get in agreement with God. He's waking it up.

234
00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:08,640
Speaker 2: Don't let it go back to sleep. Stir your faith up.

235
00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:11,920
Speaker 2: Believe that it's on the way. Go out with expectancy.

236
00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:15,240
Speaker 2: When your mind tells you you're never going to get well,

237
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:18,760
Speaker 2: wake up. The healing God is restoring health back into me.

238
00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:22,280
Speaker 2: You'll never get out of debt. Wake up the abundance.

239
00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:23,880
Speaker 2: I will lend and not borrow.

240
00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:27,680
Speaker 1: Well, you'll never overcome that problem. Wake up the victory.

241
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:31,319
Speaker 2: God always causes me to triumph. Keep your mind going

242
00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:35,720
Speaker 2: in the right direction. March chapter six, Jesus went back

243
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:38,880
Speaker 2: to his hometown. He began to teach the people in

244
00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:41,920
Speaker 2: the synagogue, and they had heard that Jesus had done

245
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:46,280
Speaker 2: great miracles and calm the seas, open blind eyes. But

246
00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:49,520
Speaker 2: when they saw him up their teaching, they thought, that's

247
00:13:49,640 --> 00:13:52,640
Speaker 2: just Jesus, that's who we grew up with. That's the

248
00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:57,360
Speaker 2: carpenter son. Nothing special about him. Because they didn't believe

249
00:13:57,480 --> 00:14:01,079
Speaker 2: in him, he couldn't do any miracle in his hometown.

250
00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:07,160
Speaker 2: Verse six says Jesus marveled at their unbelief. The Book

251
00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:11,559
Speaker 2: of Matthew, a Roman officer came to Jesus said, one

252
00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:15,120
Speaker 2: of my employees is very sick. You don't need to

253
00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:18,240
Speaker 2: come to my house. Just speak the word, and I

254
00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:22,520
Speaker 2: know he'll be healed. When Jesus heard this, the scripture

255
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:26,120
Speaker 2: says he was amazed and said, I have not found

256
00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:30,760
Speaker 2: such great faith in all of Israel. One place he

257
00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:35,040
Speaker 2: marveled at their doubt. The other he marveled at their faith.

258
00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:39,200
Speaker 2: When God looks at you, what will he marvel at?

259
00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:42,720
Speaker 2: I'll never get well, Joeled. I've had this sickness so long.

260
00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:45,000
Speaker 2: I'll never accomplish my dreams.

261
00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:46,680
Speaker 1: I tried, it didn't work out.

262
00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:51,000
Speaker 2: When you think like that, God marvels at your unbelief

263
00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:55,720
Speaker 2: that ties his hands. Why don't you come over into faith? Yes,

264
00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:58,200
Speaker 2: I've had this sickness a long time, but I know

265
00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:00,560
Speaker 2: my healing is on the way.

266
00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:03,320
Speaker 1: I had a bad break. It wasn't fair, but I know.

267
00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:06,480
Speaker 2: God has beauty for these ashes. I know favor is

268
00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:10,320
Speaker 2: in my future. When we think like that, then God

269
00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:14,120
Speaker 2: marvels at your faith. That's what allows him to do

270
00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:17,520
Speaker 2: more than we can ask or think. But what's interesting

271
00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:21,920
Speaker 2: is the people that doubted, the people who had the unbelief,

272
00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:26,400
Speaker 2: were the religious people. They were in the synagogue each week.

273
00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:31,440
Speaker 2: They were the faithful members. I say this respectfully. Sometimes

274
00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:34,560
Speaker 2: religion will try to talk you out of God's best.

275
00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:37,760
Speaker 2: It will tell you in the sweep by and bye,

276
00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:40,960
Speaker 2: you can live a victorious life. But down here you

277
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:44,240
Speaker 2: just have to suffer through it. Just endure, don't expect

278
00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:48,920
Speaker 2: too much. If Jesus were here, he would marvel at

279
00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:53,400
Speaker 2: that unbelief. My father was taught in seminary years ago

280
00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:57,760
Speaker 2: that the day of miracles was over. God doesn't still

281
00:15:57,840 --> 00:16:01,280
Speaker 2: heal and bless and show favor. That was for Bible days.

282
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:05,360
Speaker 2: But we learned there never was a day of miracles.

283
00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:08,480
Speaker 2: There's a God of miracles. He's still alive, He's still

284
00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:13,800
Speaker 2: on the throne. My point is this Roman officer that

285
00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:18,760
Speaker 2: had great faith, wasn't a religious person, He hadn't been

286
00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:21,480
Speaker 2: indoctrinated to think that it couldn't happen.

287
00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:23,800
Speaker 1: He simply believed.

288
00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:26,160
Speaker 2: That man is the son of God. I've seen him

289
00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:28,240
Speaker 2: do miracles. He's done it for others.

290
00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:29,120
Speaker 1: He can do it for me.

291
00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:34,400
Speaker 2: He received his miracle while the religious people went without.

292
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:37,560
Speaker 2: When you take the limits off of God and dare

293
00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:41,320
Speaker 2: to believe for your dreams, don't be surprised if people

294
00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:43,720
Speaker 2: try to talk you out of it. Say things like,

295
00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:47,000
Speaker 2: you really think you'll get well, you really believe you

296
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:49,480
Speaker 2: can start that business, break that addiction.

297
00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:51,400
Speaker 1: I don't know. It seems kind of far out to me.

298
00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:53,440
Speaker 1: God is either going.

299
00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:56,840
Speaker 2: To marvel at your faith or marvel at your unbelief.

300
00:16:57,320 --> 00:17:00,880
Speaker 2: Don't let another person talk you out of what God

301
00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:01,720
Speaker 2: put in your heart.

302
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:05,240
Speaker 1: Believe big, dream, big, pray big.

303
00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:09,440
Speaker 2: God is longing to be good to you. He wants

304
00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:13,600
Speaker 2: to make you an example of his goodness. So everywhere

305
00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:16,800
Speaker 2: you go you don't even have to say anything. Your

306
00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:19,840
Speaker 2: life is a testimony. People look at you and say,

307
00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:24,960
Speaker 2: He's blessed, she's highly favored. You radiate joy, peace, favor, victory.

308
00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:27,040
Speaker 1: You're a living testimony.

309
00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:31,960
Speaker 2: Jesus didn't say to this Roman officer, I'm not gonna

310
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:35,439
Speaker 2: do anything for you. You don't attend my synagogue, you

311
00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:38,520
Speaker 2: don't come to my church, or you're not my nationality,

312
00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:40,040
Speaker 2: you don't look like me.

313
00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:43,560
Speaker 1: Who do you think you are? None of that made

314
00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:44,359
Speaker 1: any difference.

315
00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:48,879
Speaker 2: All that mattered to Jesus was this man has great faith.

316
00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:52,200
Speaker 2: He believes I can do something out of the ordinary.

317
00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:56,439
Speaker 2: So I almost show myself strong in his life. You

318
00:17:56,520 --> 00:17:58,680
Speaker 2: may think that you're not.

319
00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:01,359
Speaker 1: Religious enough that God would never help you.

320
00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:04,680
Speaker 2: People tell me often, Joel, I watch you, but I'm

321
00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:08,199
Speaker 2: not a religious person. I wasn't raised in church like you.

322
00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:12,119
Speaker 2: Almost like they're apologizing. But can I tell you God

323
00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:13,800
Speaker 2: is not looking for religion.

324
00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:15,840
Speaker 1: He's looking for people who.

325
00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:19,679
Speaker 2: Simply believe in him that no he controls the universe,

326
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:24,200
Speaker 2: that he can do the impossible. I received an email

327
00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:27,800
Speaker 2: from this couple. Not long after they were married. The

328
00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:31,399
Speaker 2: husband started having problems with his balance and with his

329
00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:35,119
Speaker 2: muscle control. His muscles would tighten up so much at

330
00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:37,240
Speaker 2: night that he could barely get out of bed in

331
00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:39,639
Speaker 2: the morning. His wife would have to help him in

332
00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:42,399
Speaker 2: the car and sometimes take him to work because he

333
00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:46,119
Speaker 2: couldn't drive. This kept getting worse and worse, and it

334
00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:49,000
Speaker 2: got to the place where he could not pick up

335
00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:53,119
Speaker 2: their baby daughter. He went to the doctrine. After many

336
00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:59,640
Speaker 2: test he was diagnosed with a progressive muscular disease that's incurable,

337
00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:02,000
Speaker 2: something like muscular dystrophy.

338
00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:06,480
Speaker 1: They were devastated. At night, the thoughts came to the wife.

339
00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:08,080
Speaker 1: What if he can't.

340
00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:11,240
Speaker 2: Work, What if he loses the job. You can't afford

341
00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:14,480
Speaker 2: the house. What if he dies? Your daughter will grow

342
00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:18,600
Speaker 2: up without a father. They weren't raised in church, they

343
00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:22,080
Speaker 2: didn't have any kind of religious background. But one night,

344
00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:25,520
Speaker 2: at three o'clock in the morning, while she was massaging

345
00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:28,840
Speaker 2: his legs because they were in so much pain, they

346
00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:31,560
Speaker 2: turned on the television and there was our program.

347
00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:34,359
Speaker 1: As they listened, they heard.

348
00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:36,800
Speaker 2: About the goodness of God and how God can do

349
00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:41,480
Speaker 2: what medicine cannot do, and something ignited on the inside.

350
00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:42,600
Speaker 1: Just so happened.

351
00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:46,080
Speaker 2: A few months later, Our Night of Hope was coming

352
00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:49,919
Speaker 2: through their city and they attended. The man could barely

353
00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:53,080
Speaker 2: make the long walk from the parking lot to the auditorium.

354
00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:56,080
Speaker 2: At the end of the service, they both stood up

355
00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:59,080
Speaker 2: and gave their life to Christ. The wife said in

356
00:19:59,119 --> 00:20:03,560
Speaker 2: an instant, we knew our lives were changed. Forever we

357
00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:07,520
Speaker 2: could feel we were different on the inside. They started

358
00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:12,480
Speaker 2: believing that healing was coming their way. Walking back from

359
00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:16,440
Speaker 2: the auditorium to the car, she noticed that her husband

360
00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:18,000
Speaker 2: was not in as much pain.

361
00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:22,000
Speaker 1: As the weeks went by, the symptoms got less and less.

362
00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:25,760
Speaker 2: Last January, they came back to Houston for their annual

363
00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:29,720
Speaker 2: checkup with the same team of doctors. They ran all

364
00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:32,960
Speaker 2: the tests to get the new markers. The doctors came

365
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:36,640
Speaker 2: in baffled. They said, we can't explain it. We've never

366
00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:39,399
Speaker 2: seen this happen, but we can't find any side.

367
00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:39,960
Speaker 1: Of that disease.

368
00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:45,440
Speaker 2: One of the doctors asked him if he had done

369
00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:48,440
Speaker 2: anything differently. He said, the only thing that I've done

370
00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:52,200
Speaker 2: differently is I gave my life to Christ. The doctor said,

371
00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:55,520
Speaker 2: that's the only explanation I can give you. But like

372
00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:59,960
Speaker 2: this Roman officer, they weren't necessarily religious people, but they.

373
00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:01,080
Speaker 1: Dared to believe.

374
00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:05,000
Speaker 2: It looked impossible, but they said, God, we know you

375
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:06,280
Speaker 2: can do the impossible.

376
00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:08,200
Speaker 1: We believe healing is on the way.

377
00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:12,800
Speaker 2: In the Old Testament, the Israelites had wandered around in

378
00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:15,560
Speaker 2: the desert for many years and God was about to

379
00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:18,879
Speaker 2: take them into the Promised Land, but there were seven

380
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:23,160
Speaker 2: nations in their path that were much bigger. Moses didn't

381
00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:25,439
Speaker 2: know what they were going to do. In the natural,

382
00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:28,280
Speaker 2: they could never defeat them. But God said to them

383
00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:32,479
Speaker 2: in Deuteronomy seven, I'm going to go before you and

384
00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:35,400
Speaker 2: clear out these seven nations.

385
00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:37,480
Speaker 1: That are stronger and more powerful than you.

386
00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:41,560
Speaker 2: God is saying, you don't have to fight these battles

387
00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:44,600
Speaker 2: in your own strength. I'm going to go before you

388
00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:47,840
Speaker 2: and clear the path. I'm going to make things happen

389
00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:50,960
Speaker 2: you couldn't make happen. I'm going to defeat your enemies

390
00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:56,200
Speaker 2: for you. Because like the Israelites, we all face times

391
00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:59,200
Speaker 2: when the odds are against us. It's easy to think

392
00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:03,960
Speaker 2: urable muscle disease, this sickness is much bigger, much stronger

393
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:07,760
Speaker 2: than me, this addiction, These people coming against me, they're

394
00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:08,800
Speaker 2: much more powerful.

395
00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:10,040
Speaker 1: Don't worry.

396
00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:13,720
Speaker 2: God is going before you right now, clearing the path

397
00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:15,080
Speaker 2: on your own.

398
00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:16,400
Speaker 1: You may be outnumbered.

399
00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:19,800
Speaker 2: What you're up against may be bigger, stronger, more talented,

400
00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:23,879
Speaker 2: more resources, but you're not on your own. The God

401
00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:27,600
Speaker 2: who controls the universe says he would take care of

402
00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:31,720
Speaker 2: your enemies in other words, the cancer may be stronger

403
00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:35,119
Speaker 2: than you, but it's not stronger than our God. That

404
00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:39,480
Speaker 2: debt may look insurmountable. You don't see how you could

405
00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:42,800
Speaker 2: ever get out, But it's no match for our God.

406
00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:45,480
Speaker 2: He owns it all. He makes streets out of gold.

407
00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:49,320
Speaker 2: I talked to a gentleman recently. He struggled with a

408
00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:53,159
Speaker 2: drug addiction for many years. He's an executive, has a

409
00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:56,399
Speaker 2: great position, nobody knows about it, but the addiction is

410
00:22:56,520 --> 00:22:57,399
Speaker 2: ruining his life.

411
00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:01,680
Speaker 1: He said, Joel, I feel powerless, tried everything. I can't stop.

412
00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:04,920
Speaker 2: I told him what I'm telling you. On your own,

413
00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:08,240
Speaker 2: you can't. But you have the God who spoke worlds

414
00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:11,919
Speaker 2: into existence on your side. Instead of saying I can't

415
00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:14,920
Speaker 2: do it, dwelling on the negative all through the day.

416
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:18,280
Speaker 1: Father, thank you that you're defeating my enemies. Thank you

417
00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:19,520
Speaker 1: that you're clearing the path.

418
00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:23,520
Speaker 2: I know you're stronger than this addiction, more powerful than

419
00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:25,840
Speaker 2: this cancer, bigger than this death.

420
00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:28,000
Speaker 1: Lord. Think you that healing is coming.

421
00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:31,360
Speaker 2: Wholeness, freedom, victory is on the way.

422
00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:33,360
Speaker 1: The Scripture puts it this way.

423
00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:36,920
Speaker 2: It's not by our might, not by our power, but

424
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:39,119
Speaker 2: by the spirit of the Most High God.

425
00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:41,520
Speaker 1: You don't have to do it on your own.

426
00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:46,520
Speaker 2: God told Moses, stand still and you will see the

427
00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:50,000
Speaker 2: deliverance of the Lord. You may be up against something

428
00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:53,560
Speaker 2: big right now, don't get discouraged, don't live stressed out

429
00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:54,840
Speaker 2: stand still.

430
00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:59,320
Speaker 1: God is clearing the path. He is fighting your battles.

431
00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:03,000
Speaker 1: Is to give you victory over powerful enemies.

432
00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:06,280
Speaker 2: May not happen overnight, but as long as you're believing

433
00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:09,800
Speaker 2: God is at work at the right time, he's going

434
00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:11,960
Speaker 2: to take you in to your promised land.

435
00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:13,600
Speaker 1: That victory is on the way.

436
00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:18,360
Speaker 2: A young lady we know was in debt seventy five

437
00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:22,880
Speaker 2: thousand dollars from her college education. She's in her twenties,

438
00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:26,000
Speaker 2: just getting started in her career, and that debt looks

439
00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:29,480
Speaker 2: so much bigger, so much stronger. In the natural, she

440
00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:32,159
Speaker 2: would be paying on it for years to come. She

441
00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:35,960
Speaker 2: heard me talking about how God wants to accelerate things,

442
00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:38,919
Speaker 2: how he can make it happen faster than we think.

443
00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:42,520
Speaker 2: She dared to believe that that was for her. She

444
00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:46,240
Speaker 2: let the seed take root. Something told her to call

445
00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:48,240
Speaker 2: the school and see if there was any way they

446
00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:52,880
Speaker 2: could help, and they gave her an application to get assistance.

447
00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:52,960
Speaker 1: With the debt.

448
00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:55,880
Speaker 2: She filled it out, and a couple of days later

449
00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:59,879
Speaker 2: they called her back and said, your application has been approved.

450
00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:03,840
Speaker 2: We've decided to forgive the whole seventy.

451
00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:04,800
Speaker 1: Five thousand dollars debt.

452
00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:10,440
Speaker 2: Friends, God can make things happen that we could never

453
00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:11,080
Speaker 2: make happen.

454
00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:16,119
Speaker 1: Right now, he's going before you, defeating enemies that are

455
00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:17,200
Speaker 1: much more powerful.

456
00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:19,800
Speaker 2: That debt may look like it's going to be with

457
00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:22,960
Speaker 2: you your whole life, but get ready. Like God did

458
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:26,760
Speaker 2: for her, He's clearing the path that sickness, that addiction,

459
00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:30,879
Speaker 2: that legal problem may be bigger, stronger, more powerful, but

460
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:32,439
Speaker 2: it's no match for our God.

461
00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:33,919
Speaker 1: He is all powerful.

462
00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:38,520
Speaker 2: I'm asking you to stir your faith, don't hear all

463
00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:42,000
Speaker 2: this and be like the people in Jesus' hometown where

464
00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:45,800
Speaker 2: he marveled at the unbelief. Let's be like the Roman

465
00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:50,720
Speaker 2: officer where Jesus marvels at our faith. Those dreams you've

466
00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:54,040
Speaker 2: given up on, those promises you've let go of, you

467
00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:57,680
Speaker 2: need to go get them back. They're not dead, they're

468
00:25:57,720 --> 00:26:01,760
Speaker 2: just asleep like Lazarus. God is about to wake up

469
00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:05,200
Speaker 2: what you thought was over and done. I believe and

470
00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:08,760
Speaker 2: declare healing is on the way, Freedom is on the way.

471
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:12,200
Speaker 2: Abundance is on the way. The fullness of your destiny

472
00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:13,840
Speaker 2: in Jesus's.

473
00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:16,280

475
00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:23,879
Speaker 2: an opportunity to make Jesus the lord of your life.

476
00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:28,800
Speaker 1: Would you pray with me? Just say, Lord, Jesus, I

477
00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:30,000
Speaker 1: repent of my sins.

478
00:26:31,080 --> 00:26:36,720
Speaker 2: Come into my heart. I make you my Lord and savior. Friends,

479
00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:39,280
Speaker 2: if you prayed that simple prayer, we believe you got

480
00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:42,480
Speaker 2: born again. Get in a good Bible based church. Keep

481
00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:43,480
Speaker 2: God first place.

482
00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:46,360
Speaker 1: He's going to take your places that you've never dreamed.

483
00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:52,359
Speaker 3: Life throws so much at us disappointments, failures, challenges. We

484
00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:55,080
Speaker 3: can feel so out of touch that we no longer

485
00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:56,320
Speaker 3: recognize ourselves.

486
00:26:57,119 --> 00:26:58,800
Speaker 1: Life has a way of changing us.

487
00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:02,280
Speaker 2: At one time, we were outgoing and excited about our dreams.

488
00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:05,600
Speaker 2: But when we go through disappointments and people do us wrong,

489
00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:09,320
Speaker 2: it's easy to lose that positive, passionate person that we

490
00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:13,280
Speaker 2: used to be. In my new book, Rediscovering the Forgotten You,

491
00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:15,880
Speaker 2: I'll help you get back to who you really are,

492
00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:19,280
Speaker 2: the joyful you, the confident you, the talented you.

493
00:27:19,800 --> 00:27:22,520
Speaker 1: It's not too late. You haven't been through too much.

494
00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:25,160
Speaker 2: You may have lost part of yourself, but you can

495
00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:26,200
Speaker 2: find yourself.

496
00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:29,480
Speaker 1: God is in the business of restoring what was lost,

497
00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:31,000
Speaker 1: healing what was broken.

498
