00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:31,440
Speaker 4: But thanks for tuning in, Thanks again for coming out.

32
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:34,039
Speaker 4: I like to start with something funny, and I heard

33
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:36,840
Speaker 4: about this airplane that was about to crash, and there

34
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:41,800
Speaker 4: were four passengers but only three parachutes. The first passenger said,

35
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:45,520
Speaker 4: I'm a leading heart surgeon. My patients need me. He

36
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:48,960
Speaker 4: took the first parachute and jumped. The second passenger said,

37
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:52,560
Speaker 4: I'm a rocket scientist in one of the smartest men alive.

38
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:56,560
Speaker 4: My country needs me. He took the second parachute and jumped.

39
00:01:57,040 --> 00:02:00,440
Speaker 4: The third passenger was Pope John Paul. He said to

40
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:02,400
Speaker 4: the fourth passenger, a ten year old boy.

41
00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:04,400
Speaker 2: Scout son, I'm old and frail.

42
00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:08,000
Speaker 4: I don't have much time left. You take the last parachute.

43
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:10,720
Speaker 4: The boy scout said, don't worry about it, sir, there

44
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:14,520
Speaker 4: are still two parachutes left. The smartest man alive. He

45
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:16,240
Speaker 4: just jumped out with my backpack.

46
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 5: All right, hold up your Bible. Say it like you

47
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:24,360
Speaker 5: mean it. This is my Bible. I am what it

48
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:26,840
Speaker 5: says I am. I have what it says I have.

49
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:30,160
Speaker 5: I can do what it says I can do. Today

50
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:33,600
Speaker 5: I will be taught the word of God. I boldly confess.

51
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:37,720
Speaker 5: My mind is alert, my heart is receptive. I will

52
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:41,600
Speaker 5: never be the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you.

53
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:45,560
Speaker 4: I want to talk to you today about increasing your

54
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:49,640
Speaker 4: capacity to receive. God has all kinds of great things

55
00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 4: in store for you. He has favor in your future

56
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:57,480
Speaker 4: like you've never imagined. He's got good breaks, new opportunities,

57
00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:00,760
Speaker 4: the right people. God wants to take you places you've

58
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:05,400
Speaker 4: never even dreamed of. But here's the key. God is limited.

59
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 2: By our capacity to receive.

60
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:11,560
Speaker 4: For instance, if you have a one gallon bucket, yet

61
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:15,160
Speaker 4: I have fifty gallons to give you. The problem is

62
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:18,400
Speaker 4: not with the supply. The problem is you don't have

63
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:21,520
Speaker 4: the capacity to receive. If you'd get rid of that

64
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:24,760
Speaker 4: small container, and get something larger than I could give

65
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:25,200
Speaker 4: you more.

66
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:27,840
Speaker 2: It's the same principle with God.

67
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 4: If we think we've reached our limits, we think the

68
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:33,400
Speaker 4: economy is too bad, we're gonna have a down year.

69
00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:36,120
Speaker 4: We think we'll never get well, that's what the medical

70
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:39,120
Speaker 4: report says, never afford the house that we really want.

71
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:42,840
Speaker 4: It's not that God doesn't have the resources, it's not

72
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 4: that he doesn't.

73
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:44,400
Speaker 2: Have the ability.

74
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:48,680
Speaker 4: The fact is our container is too small, our thinking

75
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:49,400
Speaker 4: is limited.

76
00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:53,760
Speaker 2: We have to enlarge our vision and make room.

77
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:56,080
Speaker 4: For the new things God wants to do, and our

78
00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:59,640
Speaker 4: attitude should be Yes, the economy is down, but I

79
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:02,680
Speaker 4: know God is still on the throne. I know he

80
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 4: still has promotion and increase already lined up for me.

81
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:09,560
Speaker 4: I know his favor surrounds me like a shield. I

82
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 4: know wherever I go, goodness and mercy follow me. So

83
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 4: I'm believing to have an extraordinary year. When you have

84
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:19,240
Speaker 4: that kind of attitude, what are you doing? You're increasing

85
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:22,400
Speaker 4: your capacity to receive. That's when you're going to see

86
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:26,560
Speaker 4: God show up and show out in unusual ways. But

87
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:29,599
Speaker 4: some people they go around with a small cup, so

88
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:34,400
Speaker 4: to speak. They're not expecting much. They've always struggled. Others

89
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:37,000
Speaker 4: have traded in their cup and they've got a bucket.

90
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:41,240
Speaker 4: They're doing okay, they're surviving, but not planning on going

91
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:44,640
Speaker 4: much further. Still, Others they've traded in the bucket. They've

92
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:47,680
Speaker 4: stretched their faith, they've got a barrel. They're believing to

93
00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:51,960
Speaker 4: rise higher. Yet there's one other group. This group is

94
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:56,560
Speaker 4: very unusual. These people believe for far and beyond favor.

95
00:04:57,160 --> 00:05:00,680
Speaker 4: They believe God is going to prosper them even in recession.

96
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:03,880
Speaker 4: They believe their children will be mighty in the land.

97
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:09,960
Speaker 4: They're expecting explosive blessings. They know down deep supernatural increase

98
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:12,960
Speaker 4: is coming. So they don't have a cup, they don't

99
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:15,520
Speaker 4: have a bucket, they don't have a barrel. They've been

100
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:18,599
Speaker 4: coming to Lakewood too long. They've got a barn, they've

101
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 4: got a whole warehouse. They're expecting God to open the

102
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:28,440
Speaker 4: windows of heaven and pour out unprecedented favor, supernatural opportunities,

103
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:33,680
Speaker 4: exponential increase. Says in psalms, open your mouth wide and

104
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:36,560
Speaker 4: I will feel it. My question is, do you have

105
00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 4: your mouth open wide?

106
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:41,599
Speaker 2: What are you expecting? Well, Joel, I don't think I'll

107
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:43,160
Speaker 2: ever meet my sales goals.

108
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 4: This year, with the economy like it is, I don't

109
00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:48,320
Speaker 4: think i'll ever get promoted. I'm not that qualified. Don't

110
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:51,279
Speaker 4: think i'll ever get well. The problem is your mouth

111
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:54,839
Speaker 4: is barely open. You're not expecting good breaks, you're not

112
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:58,320
Speaker 4: expecting increase, You're not expecting God to show up and

113
00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 4: turn it around. And un fortunately, you won't be disappointed.

114
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:06,480
Speaker 4: The scripture says Jesus said it according to your faith,

115
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:08,240
Speaker 4: it will be done unto you.

116
00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:11,159
Speaker 2: He might as well have said, if you've got a.

117
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:14,040
Speaker 4: Cup, I'll fill you with a cup level of blessing.

118
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:15,919
Speaker 4: If you got a bucket, I'll fill you with the

119
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:19,400
Speaker 4: bucket level of blessing. But he's saying if you've got

120
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:23,360
Speaker 4: a barn, in other words, if you'll take the limits

121
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:27,520
Speaker 4: off of God, if you'll believe for supernatural opportunities, if

122
00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:31,200
Speaker 4: you'll go out each day expecting far and beyond favor,

123
00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:36,119
Speaker 4: you won't be disappointed. Psalm thirty seven nineteen says even

124
00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:40,960
Speaker 4: in famine, the righteous will have more than enough. When

125
00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:44,599
Speaker 4: you've got your mouth open wide, you're not complaining about

126
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:48,279
Speaker 4: the economy. You're expecting to have a supernatural year. You're

127
00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:52,200
Speaker 4: expecting increase, even in the middle of a recession. Your

128
00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:55,200
Speaker 4: child may be off course, but you're not praying, Oh God,

129
00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:59,240
Speaker 4: just keep him from driving me crazy. Now you're saying, God,

130
00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:01,880
Speaker 4: you said my children will be mighty in the land.

131
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:03,040
Speaker 2: So I want to thank you.

132
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:05,200
Speaker 4: You're not only going to turn him around, but you're

133
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:07,040
Speaker 4: going to use him to do something.

134
00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:07,400
Speaker 2: Great for you.

135
00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:11,320
Speaker 4: When you have your mouth open wide, you're not just

136
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:14,480
Speaker 4: hoping to make your monthly mortgage payments. You're believing to

137
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:17,720
Speaker 4: totally pay your house off, to live totally debt free.

138
00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:19,679
Speaker 2: That's barn level living.

139
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:23,080
Speaker 4: Let me ask you, do you go out each day

140
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:27,440
Speaker 4: knowing that favor is already in your future? Or have

141
00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:30,280
Speaker 4: you gotten stuck in a rug? This is what happened

142
00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:33,160
Speaker 4: to the people of Israel. They were headed toward the

143
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:37,320
Speaker 4: Promised Land. They had big goals, big dreams. But along

144
00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:41,360
Speaker 4: the way they hit some setbacks, had some disappointments. They

145
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:44,760
Speaker 4: got so discouraged they gave up on their dreams and

146
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:48,080
Speaker 4: just settled where they were. One day, God said to them,

147
00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:53,200
Speaker 4: you have dwelt long enough on this mountain. I believe

148
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:55,600
Speaker 4: God is saying that to each one of us. You've

149
00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:59,040
Speaker 4: been where you are long enough. Some of you have

150
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:02,360
Speaker 4: held that cup after year. It's how you were raised.

151
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:03,440
Speaker 4: It's all you've ever known.

152
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:04,680
Speaker 2: Some of you.

153
00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:07,920
Speaker 4: At one time you had your sight set on the barn,

154
00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:11,720
Speaker 4: but you had some setbacks. Now you've just settled for

155
00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:14,840
Speaker 4: that bucket. God is saying, this is a new day,

156
00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:18,880
Speaker 4: get your fire back. Where you are is not where

157
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:22,720
Speaker 4: you're supposed to stay. Now, I'm asking you to increase

158
00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:27,560
Speaker 4: your capacity to receive. That means you're gonna stretch your faith.

159
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:32,400
Speaker 4: You're gonna start thinking bigger, believing bigger. You're gonna go

160
00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:35,400
Speaker 4: beyond barriers that have held you back, and you're gonna

161
00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:38,800
Speaker 4: make room for God to do something new. I've learned

162
00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:42,760
Speaker 4: You've got to give God permission to increase you. You've

163
00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:45,400
Speaker 4: got to give God permission to prosper you.

164
00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:47,199
Speaker 2: God has brought.

165
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:50,560
Speaker 4: Opportunities across my path in years past that I turned down.

166
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:53,760
Speaker 4: I thought they were too big. I didn't think I

167
00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:57,400
Speaker 4: was qualified. It was so far beyond what I thought

168
00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:00,800
Speaker 4: I could handle. I didn't even get in agreement with

169
00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 4: God and at least release my faith for it. Now

170
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:07,880
Speaker 4: I realize I wasn't giving God permission to prosper me.

171
00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:12,800
Speaker 4: I miss those opportunities to go further Jesus put it

172
00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:17,160
Speaker 4: like this, you can't put new wine in old wine skins.

173
00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:20,200
Speaker 4: He was saying, you can't go to a new level

174
00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:23,640
Speaker 4: with an old way of thinking. Many of you are

175
00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:26,320
Speaker 4: ready for God to do something new. When you hear

176
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:29,000
Speaker 4: this truth that it's gonna be a great year, that

177
00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:32,800
Speaker 4: God has more in store, something resonates on the inside.

178
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:37,319
Speaker 2: That's your spirit person coming into agreement with God.

179
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:41,120
Speaker 4: But very often our natural mind will try to talk

180
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:43,280
Speaker 4: us out of it. Your mind will tell you it's

181
00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:46,240
Speaker 4: not gonna happen for you. You're not gonna have a great year.

182
00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:48,800
Speaker 4: You know what the economy is like. Or you're never

183
00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:49,520
Speaker 4: gonna get well.

184
00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:52,280
Speaker 2: You saw what the medical report says. You're never gonna

185
00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:54,880
Speaker 2: get married. You've been single so long. Just accept it.

186
00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:59,199
Speaker 4: No, get rid of that old wine skin. Trade in

187
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:03,800
Speaker 4: that small can for something larger. This is a new season.

188
00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:08,000
Speaker 4: What's happened in the past is over and done. You

189
00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:11,360
Speaker 4: may have been through some disappointments, tried failed, it didn't

190
00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:14,800
Speaker 4: work out. That's okay. God is still in control. Get

191
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:19,000
Speaker 4: a new vision for your life. Have the attitude. This

192
00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:21,880
Speaker 4: is my year to go to a new level. This

193
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:24,760
Speaker 4: is my year to be totally healthy. This is my

194
00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:27,679
Speaker 4: year to meet the person of my dreams. If you

195
00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:31,520
Speaker 4: open your mouth wide, God said he will fill it.

196
00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:34,360
Speaker 4: But it starts right here with us. With our capacity

197
00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:38,720
Speaker 4: to receive. We cannot go around thinking thoughts of mediocrity

198
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:42,520
Speaker 4: and expect to excel. We can't think thoughts of defeat

199
00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:45,800
Speaker 4: and barely get by. Help me to survive and at

200
00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:49,400
Speaker 4: the same time expect God to fill us with abundance.

201
00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:50,840
Speaker 2: The two don't go together.

202
00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:54,319
Speaker 4: Get rid of that cup, trade in that bucket, throw

203
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:57,520
Speaker 4: away that barrel, and come over to the barn level.

204
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:01,240
Speaker 4: God is a god of abundance, and it says in

205
00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:04,960
Speaker 4: Psalm one point fifteen, the Lord, your God will increase

206
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:10,040
Speaker 4: you and your family more and more. Increase has always

207
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:13,120
Speaker 4: been on God's mind. His dream is that we'd never

208
00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:16,760
Speaker 4: get stuck at one level. In fact, Jesus said he

209
00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:20,480
Speaker 4: came that we might have life to the full in

210
00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:23,840
Speaker 4: abundance till it overflows. You need to get that on

211
00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:26,480
Speaker 4: the inside. Here's why I'm headed three places to a

212
00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:31,120
Speaker 4: full life and abundant life and overflowing life. And if

213
00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:33,920
Speaker 4: you'll stay in faith, no matter what container you put

214
00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:36,199
Speaker 4: out there, God will cause it to overflow.

215
00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:39,160
Speaker 2: I remember when I wrote my first book, Your.

216
00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:42,560
Speaker 4: Best Life Now, before it came out, I would pray, God,

217
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:45,840
Speaker 4: if you'll just let this sell fifty thousand copies.

218
00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:48,320
Speaker 2: That was so big in my mind. I was stretching

219
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:50,240
Speaker 2: my faith. At that time.

220
00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:53,560
Speaker 4: We had about twenty thousand people coming each weekend, and

221
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:55,840
Speaker 4: I thought, if each one of you would buy one copy,

222
00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:58,199
Speaker 4: that would be about half of the fifty Then I'll

223
00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:01,280
Speaker 4: get my family and friends and neighbors. But God likes

224
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:04,680
Speaker 4: to do exceedingly, abundantly, above and beyond.

225
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:06,640
Speaker 2: He is a god of overflow.

226
00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:10,160
Speaker 4: That book went on to sell more than one hundred

227
00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:14,360
Speaker 4: times that fifty thousand. I've learned now if you'll start higher,

228
00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:17,520
Speaker 4: God will still cause it to overflow. It's great to

229
00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:20,440
Speaker 4: overflow with a cup, it's exciting to overflow with a

230
00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:23,320
Speaker 4: bucket or a barrel. But when you put that barn

231
00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:26,079
Speaker 4: level of faith out there, that's when you'll see.

232
00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:28,280
Speaker 2: God do more than you can ask or think.

233
00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:31,040
Speaker 4: That's when you'll see God open up doors that you

234
00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:35,160
Speaker 4: thought were impossible. What happened You stretched your faith and

235
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:38,760
Speaker 4: that allowed God to pour out his far and beyond favor.

236
00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:41,360
Speaker 4: Now I want you to get a bigger vision for

237
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:45,640
Speaker 4: your life, says in Proverbs twenty nine, verse eighteen.

238
00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:50,520
Speaker 2: If people can't see what God is doing, they stumble.

239
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:54,480
Speaker 4: In other words, if you don't have this vision for increase,

240
00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:57,679
Speaker 4: if you're not expecting favor, you've just kind of gotten

241
00:12:57,720 --> 00:12:59,000
Speaker 4: satisfied with where.

242
00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:02,360
Speaker 2: You are, then you will live below your privileges.

243
00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:05,839
Speaker 4: But if you will get a vision not of only

244
00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:08,840
Speaker 4: who you are a child of the Most High, but

245
00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:12,480
Speaker 4: a vision of what you're entitled to, and you go

246
00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:17,959
Speaker 4: out expecting supernatural opportunities in favor, It goes on to say,

247
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:21,440
Speaker 4: if you can see what God has revealed, you will

248
00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:26,320
Speaker 4: be the most blessed. Notice not average blessed, not good

249
00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:30,000
Speaker 4: enough blessed. As a child of the Most High, you

250
00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:32,120
Speaker 4: are entitled to be the most blessed.

251
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:35,120
Speaker 2: Well, you say, Joel, I never get any good breaks.

252
00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:37,559
Speaker 4: I don't think I'll ever be able to pay my

253
00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:39,920
Speaker 4: house off, never get out of debt, never get well.

254
00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:41,960
Speaker 2: No, your vision is limited.

255
00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:46,360
Speaker 4: I'm trying to help you today understand the great things

256
00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:50,080
Speaker 4: God has in store, the amazing places he's going to

257
00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:53,479
Speaker 4: take you, the incredible opportunities.

258
00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:53,960
Speaker 2: He has in your future.

259
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:58,839
Speaker 4: Because I know if your vision increases, then your capacity

260
00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:02,720
Speaker 4: to receive will increase, and that's when the most high

261
00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:05,959
Speaker 4: will pour out blessings to where you say, I am

262
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:08,440
Speaker 4: not a little blessed, I'm not average blessed.

263
00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:11,360
Speaker 2: I have to say I am most blessed.

264
00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:16,600
Speaker 4: Well, you say, Joel, are you one of those prosperity ministers. No,

265
00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:19,680
Speaker 4: I'm not a prosperity minister. But I can tell you this,

266
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:22,000
Speaker 4: I am not a poverty minister.

267
00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:26,720
Speaker 2: I cannot. I cannot find one.

268
00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:31,520
Speaker 4: Place in the scripture where we're supposed to drag around defeated, depressed,

269
00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:34,880
Speaker 4: barely making it always just scraping by. It is just

270
00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:38,720
Speaker 4: the opposite. You remember those three things. An abundant life,

271
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:43,040
Speaker 4: an overflowing life, a full life. You and I are

272
00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:46,080
Speaker 4: supposed to be examples of what it means to live

273
00:14:46,120 --> 00:14:49,880
Speaker 4: for the true and the Living God. Everywhere we go,

274
00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:53,720
Speaker 4: we should be so blessed. We should look so good,

275
00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:57,800
Speaker 4: so sharp. We should be so kind, so friendly, so generous.

276
00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:01,200
Speaker 4: People think, Man, what is it with them? They always

277
00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:04,600
Speaker 4: look good, They're always friendly, They're always in a good mood.

278
00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:06,520
Speaker 2: People should want what we have.

279
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:10,720
Speaker 4: If I brought our two children up here today, their

280
00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:14,280
Speaker 4: clothes were all raggedy, holds in their pants nothing's iron,

281
00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:18,320
Speaker 4: hair's messed up, long, drab faces. First thing you'd think

282
00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:21,800
Speaker 4: is man, what kind of father is he? Why would

283
00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:24,240
Speaker 4: he let his kids go around looking like that. It's

284
00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:28,360
Speaker 4: a poor reflection on me. It's the same thing with

285
00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:31,720
Speaker 4: our God. It doesn't bring him any honor when we

286
00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:35,360
Speaker 4: think we're supposed to go around defeated, depressed, barely getting by.

287
00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:40,800
Speaker 4: No matter where you are, no matter what level you're at,

288
00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:44,360
Speaker 4: you need to put your shoulders back, hold your head

289
00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:47,360
Speaker 4: up high, put a smile on your face, carry yourself

290
00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:48,200
Speaker 4: with confidence.

291
00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:50,320
Speaker 2: You're a child of the most high God.

292
00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:53,640
Speaker 4: You may only have one suit, one dress, one outfit.

293
00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:56,160
Speaker 2: You need to clean it, iron it, and wear it

294
00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:57,600
Speaker 2: like you're on top of the world.

295
00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:03,680
Speaker 4: And it says here in Romans five seventeen, we.

296
00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:06,360
Speaker 2: Are to reign in life as kings.

297
00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:10,280
Speaker 4: When God looks at us, he doesn't see us defeated,

298
00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:14,320
Speaker 4: barely getting by, just take the leftover positions.

299
00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:15,200
Speaker 2: Not at all.

300
00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:18,720
Speaker 4: God sees you as a king, he sees you as

301
00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:22,480
Speaker 4: a queen. You have his royal blood flowing through your veins.

302
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:26,520
Speaker 4: You and I are supposed to reign in life. You

303
00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:29,840
Speaker 4: know what that word reign means. It means your time

304
00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:34,440
Speaker 4: in power. God said we're to reign how long in life.

305
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:38,080
Speaker 4: That means as long as you're alive, that is your

306
00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:41,080
Speaker 4: time in power. You don't have a two year term

307
00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:43,760
Speaker 4: like a mayor a four year term like a president.

308
00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:49,120
Speaker 4: Your term is to reign every single day, to be victorious,

309
00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:53,200
Speaker 4: to rise to new levels, to accomplish great things. And

310
00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:55,720
Speaker 4: on those days where you don't feel like a king,

311
00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:57,480
Speaker 4: you don't feel.

312
00:16:57,200 --> 00:16:57,800
Speaker 2: Like a queen.

313
00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:01,160
Speaker 4: If you can, just remember to reach down and check

314
00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:04,520
Speaker 4: your pulse, and as long as you feel something beating,

315
00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:07,439
Speaker 4: you can say, what do you know, it's still my

316
00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:11,120
Speaker 4: time to reign. Let that be a reminder to put

317
00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:14,399
Speaker 4: on a new attitude. And sometimes you have to do

318
00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:18,280
Speaker 4: this by faith. You may not feel victorious, it may

319
00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:21,399
Speaker 4: not look like you're blessed, but I like what somebody says.

320
00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:23,840
Speaker 4: You gotta fake it until you make it.

321
00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:25,159
Speaker 2: By faith.

322
00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:28,360
Speaker 4: You need to walk like a king, talk like a king,

323
00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:32,040
Speaker 4: think like a king, dressed like a king, smile like

324
00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:34,880
Speaker 4: a king. Don't go by what you see, go by

325
00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:38,919
Speaker 4: what you know. There is royalty in your dna. You

326
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:41,639
Speaker 4: have the blood of a winter. You were created to

327
00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:47,040
Speaker 4: reign in life. Too many people are living below their privileges.

328
00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:53,000
Speaker 4: It's because their vision has been clouded by past mistakes, disappointments.

329
00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:56,000
Speaker 2: How they were raised. They don't feel like royalty.

330
00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:59,760
Speaker 4: They don't think they could be successful, really accomplish what

331
00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:03,520
Speaker 4: Gods put in their heart. But I believe today, as

332
00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:07,480
Speaker 4: I'm speaking faith into you, something's happening on the inside.

333
00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:09,920
Speaker 2: New seeds are taken root.

334
00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:13,119
Speaker 4: Strong holds that may have kept you back for years,

335
00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:16,359
Speaker 4: even right now, are being broken. You need to rise

336
00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:19,360
Speaker 4: up and say that's it. I'm not settling where I am.

337
00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:22,679
Speaker 4: I know it's still my time of power. Yes, i

338
00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:24,720
Speaker 4: may have taken a break for a little while, but

339
00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:27,760
Speaker 4: I've got an announcement. I'm coming back. I'm gonna start

340
00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:29,520
Speaker 4: stepping up to who God.

341
00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:30,080
Speaker 2: Created me to be.

342
00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:34,879
Speaker 4: When you really understand your God given position, the fact

343
00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:37,520
Speaker 4: that you were created to reign and it's still your

344
00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:39,400
Speaker 4: time of power, those.

345
00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:41,600
Speaker 2: Negative mindsets cannot stay.

346
00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:46,119
Speaker 4: As you renew your mind, a transformation is taking place.

347
00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:50,480
Speaker 4: Your vision is increasing today. I believe even right now,

348
00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:53,520
Speaker 4: you are making room for God to do more. The

349
00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:56,600
Speaker 4: good news is God is ready to pour out more.

350
00:18:57,200 --> 00:19:00,160
Speaker 4: Doesn't matter what's happened in the past. What matters is

351
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:04,399
Speaker 4: your future. Don't live below your privileges. You were not

352
00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:07,800
Speaker 4: created to be averaged. God put a crown of favor

353
00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:11,000
Speaker 4: on your head. He has destined you to do great things.

354
00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:13,680
Speaker 4: You may not have seen it yet, but if you'll

355
00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:16,359
Speaker 4: stay in faith and make room for it, the most

356
00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:19,120
Speaker 4: High says you're going to be the most blessed. You're

357
00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:21,840
Speaker 4: going to have the most peace, the most friends, the

358
00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:26,160
Speaker 4: most fulfillment, the most resources, the most wisdom, the most opportunity.

359
00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:28,520
Speaker 2: Most blessed means you will.

360
00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:31,239
Speaker 4: Not lack in any good area. And some of you

361
00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:34,480
Speaker 4: today you just need to give God permission.

362
00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:35,359
Speaker 2: To increase you.

363
00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:38,560
Speaker 4: You have given, you have served, you've honored him. The

364
00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:41,960
Speaker 4: only thing that's holding you back is a limited mindset.

365
00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:45,400
Speaker 4: Maybe you've tried and struggled and it didn't work out,

366
00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:47,840
Speaker 4: or I don't know. I talk to people that they

367
00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:49,840
Speaker 4: don't feel like they deserve to be blessed because of

368
00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:50,600
Speaker 4: past mistake.

369
00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:53,200
Speaker 2: But you've got to shake all of that off. Dare

370
00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:53,840
Speaker 2: to believe.

371
00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:56,720
Speaker 4: Get rid of that cup, get rid of the bucket,

372
00:19:57,040 --> 00:20:00,480
Speaker 4: get rid of the barrel. God has a barn load

373
00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:02,920
Speaker 4: full of blessings in store for each one of you.

374
00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:06,159
Speaker 4: This is what my father had to do. Daddy was

375
00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:10,160
Speaker 4: raised in an extremely poor environment. That's all he had

376
00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:14,639
Speaker 4: ever known. He developed this limited mindset. Really, it was

377
00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:16,119
Speaker 4: a poverty mentality.

378
00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:18,280
Speaker 2: It had been ingrained in him.

379
00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:21,199
Speaker 4: He loved God and he was a good person, but

380
00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:25,439
Speaker 4: early on he didn't have any vision for increase. He

381
00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:28,800
Speaker 4: thought barely getting by and struggling was just his lot

382
00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:31,280
Speaker 4: in life. He didn't want to complain about it, so

383
00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:35,280
Speaker 4: he just accepted it. When he first started pastoring, this

384
00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:38,199
Speaker 4: was more than sixty years ago. One week, he and

385
00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:42,320
Speaker 4: my mother kept a guest minister in their home, and Sunday,

386
00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:45,720
Speaker 4: after the service, a business person came up and said, pastor,

387
00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:47,919
Speaker 4: I know you've had a lot of extra expenses this

388
00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:50,919
Speaker 4: week keeping our special guests, so I would like you

389
00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:54,520
Speaker 4: to have this thousand dollars check. That would be like

390
00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:57,840
Speaker 4: somebody giving you twenty thousand dollars to day. My father

391
00:20:57,960 --> 00:21:02,480
Speaker 4: nearly passed out. Never had anybody give him anything like that.

392
00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:06,200
Speaker 4: In fact, his first offering was only twenty five cents.

393
00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:08,760
Speaker 4: He and my mother they were making one hundred and

394
00:21:08,840 --> 00:21:13,080
Speaker 4: seventeen dollars a week, barely scraping by trying to raise

395
00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:16,560
Speaker 4: their children. You would have thought my father would have

396
00:21:16,560 --> 00:21:20,040
Speaker 4: been thrilled, so happy, just thanking God. But it was

397
00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:25,159
Speaker 4: just the opposite. His capacity to receive was limited. He

398
00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:28,800
Speaker 4: had embraced that little cup for so long he could

399
00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:32,600
Speaker 4: not fathom having a bucket or a barrel, much less

400
00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:35,960
Speaker 4: a barn. Here God was trying to do something new.

401
00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:39,119
Speaker 4: God was trying to expand him, but he had that

402
00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:43,600
Speaker 4: old wine skin that gentleman handed him the check. Daddy

403
00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:46,280
Speaker 4: took it by the corner, the very tip, like there

404
00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:49,359
Speaker 4: was something wrong with it, like it was poisoned. He said,

405
00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:53,240
Speaker 4: oh no, brother, I could never receive this for myself.

406
00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:57,160
Speaker 4: I must put it in the church treasury. He walked over,

407
00:21:57,560 --> 00:21:59,840
Speaker 4: and he said when he dropped it in the offering,

408
00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:01,400
Speaker 4: right when he let it.

409
00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:03,480
Speaker 2: Go, he felt sick to his stomach.

410
00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:07,879
Speaker 4: Why was that God has put something on the inside

411
00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:10,800
Speaker 4: of every one of us that says we're supposed to

412
00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:14,560
Speaker 4: be blessed, We're supposed to rise higher, We're supposed to

413
00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:17,680
Speaker 4: leave an inheritance to our children's children.

414
00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:21,080
Speaker 2: My father eventually learned this truth.

415
00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:24,840
Speaker 4: He shook off that poverty mindset, and he began to

416
00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:29,480
Speaker 4: increase his capacity to receive. He inherited a cup, but

417
00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:31,440
Speaker 4: he got rid of it and put a bucket out there.

418
00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:34,280
Speaker 2: God filled it up. He put a barrel out God

419
00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:35,200
Speaker 2: increased him.

420
00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:40,000
Speaker 4: He developed this more than enough, this barn level mentality.

421
00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:42,600
Speaker 4: We wouldn't be here today if he hadn't been willing

422
00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:45,800
Speaker 4: to break out of that rut. Your relatives may have

423
00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:50,000
Speaker 4: handed you a cup, maybe your parents, the people you

424
00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:52,119
Speaker 4: grew up with, they just handed you that cup. But

425
00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:54,960
Speaker 4: that does not have to set the limits for your life.

426
00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:57,879
Speaker 4: You need to draw the line in the sand and

427
00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:00,760
Speaker 4: say where I am is not where I'm stacked. I

428
00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:03,280
Speaker 4: may have been handed this cup, but I'm trading it in,

429
00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:06,480
Speaker 4: not for a bucket, not for a barrel. I'm going

430
00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:10,119
Speaker 4: for the gold. I've got my sight set on that barn. Now,

431
00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:14,080
Speaker 4: as you increase your capacity to receive, just like with

432
00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:17,280
Speaker 4: my father, God is going to open up supernatural doors.

433
00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:20,359
Speaker 4: He's going to give you new ideas. He's going to

434
00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:22,760
Speaker 4: bring talent out of you that you didn't even know

435
00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:26,920
Speaker 4: you had. Don't live with a narrow vision. Don't think

436
00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:29,800
Speaker 4: that you've reached your limits. You would not be alive

437
00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:33,399
Speaker 4: if God didn't have increase in your future. Get rid

438
00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:36,680
Speaker 4: of that old wine skin. You may have had victories

439
00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:39,840
Speaker 4: in your past, but you haven't seen anything yet. You

440
00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:42,720
Speaker 4: haven't touched the surface of what God has in store.

441
00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:46,479
Speaker 4: He has levels of blessings in your future that are

442
00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:50,399
Speaker 4: gonna amaze you. It's like this little frog I heard about.

443
00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:53,320
Speaker 4: He was born at the bottom of a well. It

444
00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:56,000
Speaker 4: was just a small, circular well, like you'd see at

445
00:23:56,040 --> 00:23:59,359
Speaker 4: a typical rural area farm, and just he and his

446
00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:02,960
Speaker 4: family there. He was so content every day to splash

447
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:05,000
Speaker 4: around and to play in the well.

448
00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:07,240
Speaker 2: He thought, life is good.

449
00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:11,080
Speaker 4: We've got all the water in the world to ourselves.

450
00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:13,080
Speaker 2: It just doesn't get any better than this.

451
00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:16,240
Speaker 4: But as he got a little older, he noticed the

452
00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:17,760
Speaker 4: light at the top of the well.

453
00:24:18,119 --> 00:24:19,440
Speaker 2: He wondered what was up there.

454
00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:22,400
Speaker 4: One day he got his confidence up and he climbed

455
00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:25,040
Speaker 4: the side of the well very cautiously. When he got

456
00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:29,560
Speaker 4: to the top, he peered over the edge lo and behold, the.

457
00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:33,760
Speaker 2: First thing he saw was a pond. He couldn't believe it.

458
00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:36,399
Speaker 4: It was thousands of times bigger than what he had.

459
00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:39,520
Speaker 4: He hopped a little further and he came to a lake.

460
00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:42,240
Speaker 4: He stood there in amazement.

461
00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:43,879
Speaker 2: Hopped a little bit further.

462
00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:48,000
Speaker 4: Eventually he came to the ocean. He looked left and right.

463
00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:50,840
Speaker 4: As far as he could see, for miles and miles,

464
00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:55,040
Speaker 4: there was water. He began to realize how limited his

465
00:24:55,200 --> 00:24:58,840
Speaker 4: thinking was. He thought he had it all, but all

466
00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:02,320
Speaker 4: he really had was a drop in the bucket compared

467
00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:05,199
Speaker 4: to what God wanted him to enjoy. And in the

468
00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:09,600
Speaker 4: same way, God's dream for your life is so much bigger,

469
00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:10,840
Speaker 4: so much.

470
00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:12,640
Speaker 2: Better than you can even imagine.

471
00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:16,000
Speaker 4: If God showed you what he had in store, it

472
00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:19,199
Speaker 4: would boggle your mind. But so many times we're like

473
00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:23,560
Speaker 4: this little frog. Our thinking is limited. We've been enclosed

474
00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:26,920
Speaker 4: in our environment. All we've known is a certain level

475
00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:30,159
Speaker 4: of living, a certain way of thinking. Too often we

476
00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:32,640
Speaker 4: get satisfied, think well, this is just my.

477
00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:34,160
Speaker 2: Lot in life.

478
00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:37,399
Speaker 4: But could it be that God has oceans for you

479
00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:41,240
Speaker 4: to enjoy, but you're staying in a little pond thinking

480
00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:43,760
Speaker 4: that you have it all. Could it be that you've

481
00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:47,080
Speaker 4: got a cup mentality and yet God is standing over

482
00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:49,880
Speaker 4: by a big barn that has your name on it.

483
00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:53,560
Speaker 4: I'm asking you to go a little further than you're

484
00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:56,520
Speaker 4: used to going. Dare to do like that little frog

485
00:25:56,640 --> 00:25:59,919
Speaker 4: and look out over the edge. Get a bigger vision

486
00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:04,040
Speaker 4: for your life, believe for bigger things. Your best days

487
00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:06,640
Speaker 4: are not in your past, they are still in your future,

488
00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:10,920
Speaker 4: it says in Psalm thirty five twenty seven. Let them

489
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:16,160
Speaker 4: say continually, let the Lord be magnified, who takes pleasure

490
00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:20,240
Speaker 4: in the prosperity of his children. Notice they were supposed

491
00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:23,679
Speaker 4: to go around saying this, Let God be magnified, he

492
00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:28,160
Speaker 4: takes pleasure in prospering me. I believe one reason they

493
00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:30,679
Speaker 4: were supposed to say it all the time was because

494
00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:31,280
Speaker 4: God knows.

495
00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:32,720
Speaker 2: When we hear something long.

496
00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:36,119
Speaker 4: Enough, it gets down on the inside. We start to

497
00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:39,400
Speaker 4: believe it. It starts to affect our vision. All through

498
00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:43,400
Speaker 4: the day, they heard themselves declaring favor over their lives,

499
00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:46,199
Speaker 4: saying God takes pleasure in prospering me.

500
00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:48,160
Speaker 2: They were saying, in effect.

501
00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:51,000
Speaker 4: I'm coming up higher, I'm coming out of dead. New

502
00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:54,440
Speaker 4: doors are opening. God is restoring my marriage, my health

503
00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:55,200
Speaker 4: is improving.

504
00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:56,280
Speaker 2: What were they doing.

505
00:26:56,720 --> 00:27:00,440
Speaker 4: They were increasing their capacity to receive. We got to

506
00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:03,119
Speaker 4: do the same thing. Speak that favor over your life.

507
00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:05,960
Speaker 4: Somebody asks you how you're doing, no matter how you feel,

508
00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:09,440
Speaker 4: you need to tell them I am blessed and highly favored,

509
00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:11,359
Speaker 4: and you might as well add and I'm going to

510
00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:15,920
Speaker 4: have a supernatural year. Friends, God takes pleasure in prospering

511
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:19,000
Speaker 4: you will you get this down in your spirit. God

512
00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:22,040
Speaker 4: wants you to rise higher. Some of you are stuck

513
00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:24,760
Speaker 4: in a rut. Maybe like my father, you come from

514
00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:28,720
Speaker 4: generations of lack and constantly struggling. You're just about to

515
00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:31,760
Speaker 4: accept that's the way it's always going to be. Now

516
00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:34,400
Speaker 4: you've got to get rid of that old mindset. Make

517
00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:37,680
Speaker 4: a decision today. You're coming out of the well, coming

518
00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:39,120
Speaker 4: out of the pond, coming out of.

519
00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:41,400
Speaker 2: The lake, and you're headed straight toward the ocean.

520
00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:44,360
Speaker 4: You're going to enjoy the fullness of what God has

521
00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:48,080
Speaker 4: in store. Remember you've been created to rain. You are

522
00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:50,879
Speaker 4: a king, you are a queen, and your time of

523
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:54,520
Speaker 4: power is still in session. If you open your mouth wide,

524
00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:57,200
Speaker 4: God is going to feel it. You may not see

525
00:27:57,200 --> 00:27:59,560
Speaker 4: how it can happen, but that's okay. God has a way.

526
00:27:59,840 --> 00:28:03,040
Speaker 4: He has explosive blessings that can thrust you to a

527
00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:05,919
Speaker 4: new level. One touch of God's favor can take you

528
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:08,760
Speaker 4: from the well right over to the ocean. If you

529
00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:11,560
Speaker 4: will take the limits off of God and make room

530
00:28:11,640 --> 00:28:14,160
Speaker 4: for him to do something new, then you're not gonna

531
00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:15,080
Speaker 4: have an average year.

532
00:28:15,359 --> 00:28:17,160
Speaker 2: You're not gonna have a mediocre year.

533
00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:20,960
Speaker 4: You're gonna have a supernatural year. You're gonna see supernatural breaks,

534
00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:29,240
Speaker 4: supernatural healing, supernatural deliverance, supernatural restoration, supernatural opportunities, supernatural connections.

535
00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:33,200
Speaker 4: God is going to unleash supernatural increase in your life.

536
00:28:33,359 --> 00:28:34,200
Speaker 2: When you look.

537
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:36,399
Speaker 4: Back, you're gonna be able to say, two thousand and

538
00:28:36,520 --> 00:28:40,360
Speaker 4: nine was my year to shine. It was a supernatural year.

539
00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:42,120
Speaker 2: Can you say in today?

540
00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:46,840
Speaker 4: We never like to close our broadcast without giving you

541
00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:49,640
Speaker 4: an opportunity to make Jesus the lord of your life.

542
00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:50,920
Speaker 2: Would you pray with me?

543
00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:57,000
Speaker 4: Just say, Lord, Jesus, I repent of my sins, Come

544
00:28:57,000 --> 00:28:57,800
Speaker 4: into my heart.

545
00:28:58,920 --> 00:29:00,600
Speaker 2: I make you my Lord and save you.

546
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:04,400
Speaker 4: Friends, If you prayed that simple prayer, we believe you

547
00:29:04,440 --> 00:29:07,200

Speaker 7: be big. Think thirty minutes for a coffee or a

579
00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:31,960
Speaker 7: quick twenty minute gaming session, the time it takes to

580
