Speaker 5: our services. These are the finest people in all of Houston,
Speaker 5: Texas right here at Lafloyd. But thanks for tuning in,
Speaker 5: Thanks again for coming out. And I like to start
Speaker 5: with something funny. And I heard about this five year
Speaker 5: old boy named Tommy. Was his grandmother's birthday, and after
Speaker 5: wishing her a happy birthday, he said, grandmother, how old
Speaker 5: are you? She said, Tommy, I'm thirty nine and holding
Speaker 5: he thought about it a moment, said grandmother, how old
Speaker 5: would you be if you let go hold up your Bible,
Speaker 5: say it like you mean it. This is my Bible.
Speaker 5: I am what it says.
Speaker 6: I am.
Speaker 5: I have what it says I have. I can do
Speaker 5: what it says I can do. Today I will be
Speaker 5: taught the word of God. I boldly confess. My mind
Speaker 5: is alert, my heart is receptive. I will never be
Speaker 5: the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you. I want
Speaker 5: to talk to you today about It's a simple thing.
Speaker 5: We all face situations that look impossible. It's easy to
Speaker 5: get discourage and think about how it's never going to
Speaker 5: work out, but we need to keep the right perspective.
Speaker 5: God already has the solution. Nothing you're facing is a
Speaker 5: surprise to God. It may look complicated to you. But
Speaker 5: to him, it's a simple thing. It's no big deal.
Speaker 5: He spoke worlds into existence, he flung stars into space.
Speaker 5: He knows how to get you to your destiny. Think
Speaker 5: about David when he faced Goliath, a huge giant nearly
Speaker 5: twice his size. It looked impossible. Goliath was the Navy
Speaker 5: seal of that day, the biggest, strongest, most experienced. David
Speaker 5: was a teenager taking care of his father's sheep. He
Speaker 5: didn't have any military training. But it's interesting. God didn't
Speaker 5: need the latest weapon for David. He didn't need a
Speaker 5: full set of armor, years of training, troops backing him up.
Speaker 5: All what God needed was a slingshot, a simple thing.
Speaker 5: That slingshot helped David to not only defeat Goliath, but
Speaker 5: it eventually put him on the throne of Israel. When
Speaker 5: four lepers were surrounded by an army locked outside their
Speaker 5: city's gates, they didn't have a chance. All the odds
Speaker 5: were against them. They had nothing to lose, so they
Speaker 5: started walking toward the enemy's camp. God caused the sound
Speaker 5: of their footsteps to be multiplied to where it sounded
Speaker 5: like a huge army was approaching. When the enemy heard it,
Speaker 5: they panicked, and took off running. Those lepers not only
Speaker 5: saved their lives, they saved the entire city of Samaria
Speaker 5: the sound of their footsteps. A simple thing. When thousands
Speaker 5: of people were out on the beach late one evening, hungry,
Speaker 5: no food, no grocery stores, Jesus took five loaves of bread,
Speaker 5: two fish, a simple thing, a little boy's lunch. He
Speaker 5: prayed over it. It multiplied and fed the thousands. When
Speaker 5: Peter needed money for taxes, Jesus told him to go
Speaker 5: to the lake, and the first fish you catch will
Speaker 5: have money for both yours and my taxes. Catching a
Speaker 5: fish a simple thing. We think, how am I ever
Speaker 5: going to get out of debt? How will I send
Speaker 5: my kids to college? It's so expensive. Let me tell
Speaker 5: you how. A simple thing, one good break, one idea,
Speaker 5: one phone call, one slingshot, one little boy's lunch. God
Speaker 5: has some simple things in your future. You don't have
Speaker 5: to have the most talent, the most experienced, the most qualifications.
Speaker 5: One touch of God's favor, one simple thing can thrust
Speaker 5: you to a new level. One simple thing and you'll
Speaker 5: defeat your giants. One simple thing and your health will
Speaker 5: turn around, The problem will resolve the legal situation will solve. Now,
Speaker 5: quit telling yourself if it's too big, it's too hard,
Speaker 5: it's never gonna work out. Our attitude should be this
Speaker 5: may look impossible to me, but God, I know to
Speaker 5: you it's a simple thing. All power is in your hands.
Speaker 5: You control the universe. So I'm not going to go
Speaker 5: around worried, upset, wondering if it's gonna work out. I'm
Speaker 5: gonna stay in faith knowing that you have some simple
Speaker 5: things come in my way. See, too many people go
Speaker 5: through life thinking of all the reasons why they can't
Speaker 5: be successful, why they can't overcome the challenge, why they'll
Speaker 5: never get well. Joel, I've had this sickness so long,
Speaker 5: or everybody in my family struggles with these same addictions.
Speaker 5: I don't have the talent, the personality. It's not going
Speaker 5: to work out. No, get rid of that defeated mindset.
Speaker 5: Let these words sink down into your spirit. It's a
Speaker 5: simple thing for God to bring your dreams to pass.
Speaker 5: It's a simple thing for you to live healthy in Whome.
Speaker 5: It's a simple thing for you to meet the right
Speaker 5: person for you to live debt. God is not up
Speaker 5: in the heaven scratching his head, thinking, man, this is
Speaker 5: so complicated. They got me stumped. God already has the solution.
Speaker 5: He's already lined up the right people, the right breaks,
Speaker 5: the right opportunities. They are already in your future, just
Speaker 5: waiting for you to walk into them. If you'll keep
Speaker 5: moving forward in faith, honoring God being your best, you
Speaker 5: will come in to some of these simple things that
Speaker 5: God has already lined up for you. I talked to
Speaker 5: a young lady that wanted to attend a certain college,
Speaker 5: and she applied for a scholarship, and they called her
Speaker 5: in for an interview. But the man she was talking
Speaker 5: with was very unfriendly, just matter of fact. She could
Speaker 5: tell he wasn't for her. A few days she received
Speaker 5: an email saying there were no scholarships available, but she
Speaker 5: could kept back in a month or so. She went
Speaker 5: back and met with the man, same thing. Very curt
Speaker 5: I told you, there are no scholarships available. It's almost
Speaker 5: like she was bothering the man. She decided to go
Speaker 5: back and check one last time. She made an appointment,
Speaker 5: but this time the man had to unexpectedly be out
Speaker 5: of town. His supervisor was feeling in for him that day.
Speaker 5: This lady was totally different She was kind, friendly, very helpful.
Speaker 5: Now she was looking over her records and personal information.
Speaker 5: She noticed that the young lady attends Lakewood. She smiled
Speaker 5: real big and said, you got the right person today.
Speaker 5: I've been attending Lakewood for over twenty years. This supervisor
Speaker 5: went to her office, came back in a half hour,
Speaker 5: not only awarded her a full four year scholarship, but
Speaker 5: she included all of her books, everything she needed to
Speaker 5: get started. What was that? A simple thing? God moved
Speaker 5: the wrong person out and put the right person in it.
Speaker 5: She may have never been able to win over that
Speaker 5: other man, but that didn't matter. God said, in a fact,
Speaker 5: don't worry about it. He doesn't have to help you.
Speaker 5: I control the universe. I have the final say. I
Speaker 5: can either change his mind and cause him to want
Speaker 5: to help you, or I can move him out and
Speaker 5: put somebody in there that will help you. And we
Speaker 5: all face times where somebody is not for us at
Speaker 5: the office, playing politics, trying to push you down, at school,
Speaker 5: leaving you out, trying to make you look bad. It's
Speaker 5: easy to get frustrated and think, man, I'm never going
Speaker 5: to get ahead. These people don't like me. No, don't
Speaker 5: worry God has some simple things. God can cause them
Speaker 5: to be on vacation when you need a good break.
Speaker 5: He can cause them to get transferred to a different department.
Speaker 5: Or if God doesn't move them out of the way,
Speaker 5: God can cause you to go over them. The scripture
Speaker 5: says you can run through a troop or leap over
Speaker 5: a wall. Bottom line is God will get you to
Speaker 5: where you're supposed to be. A man told how his
Speaker 5: neighbor lived next door was very hard to get along with.
Speaker 5: They were always having these loud parties way into the night,
Speaker 5: and all the neighbors complained, but these people didn't care.
Speaker 5: They were very disrespectful and continued to cause trouble. This
Speaker 5: has gone on year after year, didn't look like it
Speaker 5: would ever change. One day, this man came home from
Speaker 5: work and noticed a big moving truck in front of
Speaker 5: his next door neighbor's house loading up all their furniture.
Speaker 5: He went over to see what was going on. Come
Speaker 5: to find out the house was filled with termites. The
Speaker 5: people moved out, they never moved back in. He said, Joel,
Speaker 5: I had never thanked God for termites until that day.
Speaker 5: A simple thing termites. Well, he said, Joel, you really
Speaker 5: think God used those little bugs. God used locusts to
Speaker 5: change Pharaoh's mind. God used frogs and lizards in the Bible.
Speaker 5: I'm not saying to pray termites on your neighbors. But
Speaker 5: the point is, sometimes we think God's never gonna change.
Speaker 5: I'm gonna have to put up with it the rest
Speaker 5: of my life. No, stay in faith. God has some
Speaker 5: simple things come in your way. This is what happened
Speaker 5: in the scripture to Mordecai. Mordecai was a good man,
Speaker 5: loved God, lived with excellence and integrity. But there was
Speaker 5: a man named Hayman that worked for the King Haman
Speaker 5: didn't like Mordecai. He had this prestigious position, influential at
Speaker 5: the palace, and he was always trying to push Mordecai down,
Speaker 5: trying to make him look bad. And in the natural
Speaker 5: it seemed like Hayman had an advantage. He had the
Speaker 5: king's ear. What could Mordecai do. But one night the
Speaker 5: king couldn't sleep and he asked his assistant to bring
Speaker 5: one of the books that had the city's history recorded
Speaker 5: in it. The assistant randomly grabbed a book and gave
Speaker 5: it to the king. The king opened it to a
Speaker 5: page that talked about a good deed that Mordecai had
Speaker 5: done for the city. Out of all the books the
Speaker 5: assistant could have chosen, just so happened he chose this
Speaker 5: particular book. Out of all the pages the king could
Speaker 5: have turned to. Just so happened he turned to this
Speaker 5: particular page. The next day he called Hayman in, said, Hayman,
Speaker 5: what do you think we should do to honor a
Speaker 5: person that's done a great deed for the city and
Speaker 5: serve the king with excellence. Well, Hayman was so caught
Speaker 5: up in himself he thought the king was talking about him,
Speaker 5: so he played it up real big. He said, King,
Speaker 5: I think we should put a royal robe on that person,
Speaker 5: have a big parade, march him up and down the
Speaker 5: city streets, announcing what a great person he is. The
Speaker 5: King said, I like that good idea. Now go find
Speaker 5: Mordecai and do just what you said, Hayman. You put
Speaker 5: the royal robe on him. You go up and down
Speaker 5: the streets, announcing to everyone how honored he is by
Speaker 5: the king. A simple thing, the King, reading the right
Speaker 5: thing about Mordecai, one putting in a good word for
Speaker 5: you can take you where you could never go on
Speaker 5: your own. One comment, one phone called, one email. Hey,
Speaker 5: I really like them. They're talented. You're blessed to have them.
Speaker 5: A simple thing can cause your boss, your clients, your
Speaker 5: coworkers to see you in a whole new light. Quit
Speaker 5: worrying about who's trying to hold you back the credit
Speaker 5: you're not getting that person trying to make you look bad.
Speaker 5: You don't have to fight those battles. God is your vindicator.
Speaker 5: God will cause them to see you the way he
Speaker 5: wants you to be seen. He'll cause them to hear
Speaker 5: what they need to hear. God's already lined up the
Speaker 5: right people to put in a good word for you.
Speaker 5: Second King's three Jehosaphat and his army met up with
Speaker 5: two other friendly armies. They had been traveling through the
Speaker 5: desert for seven days on their way to fight another enemy.
Speaker 5: When they ran out of water, they didn't realize all
Speaker 5: the streams and wells had dried up. Now they had
Speaker 5: no water for their men for their animals. It looked
Speaker 5: like they would be an easy target for the enemy
Speaker 5: that was approaching. King Jehashaphat told his men to go
Speaker 5: check with the prophet Elisha to see what was going
Speaker 5: to happen, And Elisha said in verse seventeen, you will
Speaker 5: see neither wind nor rain, but these valleys will be
Speaker 5: filled with water. You will have plenty for yourselves and
Speaker 5: for your animals. But this is only a simple thing
Speaker 5: for the Lord. He will cause you to be victorious
Speaker 5: over all of the enemies. He goes on to tell
Speaker 5: how the next day it didn't rain, there wasn't a storm,
Speaker 5: but water filled the valley. King Jehasaphat and his men
Speaker 5: ended up defeating the enemy went on to conquer those cities.
Speaker 5: But what's interesting is this valley suddenly filled up with water,
Speaker 5: came out of nowhere middle of the desert, and water
Speaker 5: starts flowing. To me, that seems like a big deal,
Speaker 5: a great miracle. Yet Elisha said, this is a simple
Speaker 5: thing for our God. I've learned what's simple to me
Speaker 5: and what's simple to God are two different things. What
Speaker 5: God calls simple we would call supernatural, extraordinary. Far and beyond,
Speaker 5: your situation may look impossible. You don't see how you
Speaker 5: could accomplish a dream, or how you could get well,
Speaker 5: how your marriage could be restored. There's no water in
Speaker 5: your valley. But God is saying it's not going to
Speaker 5: happen in a normal way. You're not going to see clouds,
Speaker 5: you're not going to have any rain, but that valley
Speaker 5: is going to suddenly fill up with water. In other words,
Speaker 5: out of nowhere, you get a good break, your health improves,
Speaker 5: the business takes off, you meet the right person, the
Speaker 5: situation turns around. That's God giving you water without rain.
Speaker 5: You weren't the most qualified, didn't have the most post experience,
Speaker 5: but suddenly you were promoted. Suddenly you find yourself where
Speaker 5: you could not go on your own. We're thrilled, we're
Speaker 5: on cloud nine. But God says, hey, it's no big deal.
Speaker 5: It's just a simple thing for me. Maybe. In your health,
Speaker 5: the medical report said you'd never get well, the odds
Speaker 5: were against you. But you look up like my mother
Speaker 5: thirty years later, you're still healthy, who still going strong.
Speaker 5: That's what God calls a simple thing. In your finances,
Speaker 5: you didn't see how you could get out of debt.
Speaker 5: Didn't look good on paper, But that valley began to
Speaker 5: fill up with water, not a normal way, not rain,
Speaker 5: not something you could take credit for. This was the
Speaker 5: hand of God promoting you, giving you wisdom, putting you
Speaker 5: at the right place, opening doors that no man can shut.
Speaker 5: And if we're going to become everything we were created
Speaker 5: to be, if we're going to reach our highest potential,
Speaker 5: we can't go around thinking this is too big, it's
Speaker 5: never gonna work out. I never get any good breaks. No,
Speaker 5: have a new perspective. It's a simple thing for our God.
Speaker 5: He's saying to you what he said to Jehoasaphat. Don't worry,
Speaker 5: don't panic, don't turn around, go back home. I'm going
Speaker 5: to fill those dry places with water. It's going to
Speaker 5: happen suddenly. It's going to be unusual, not what you
Speaker 5: were expecting. Water without rain. That means God can heal
Speaker 5: you without the treatment. God can promote you even though
Speaker 5: you weren't the most qualified. God can increase you beyond
Speaker 5: your salary, bring you out of debt, put you into
Speaker 5: overflow without the company. Without normal means God has explosive blessings.
Speaker 5: When you say, Joel, I feel like I'm in a
Speaker 5: drought today. I hadn't had any good breaks in a
Speaker 5: long time. That's just where Jehosaphat was. Don't complain. Get
Speaker 5: ready for a simple thing, something and out of the ordinary,
Speaker 5: not what you were expecting something that you could not
Speaker 5: make happen on your own. I read about a twenty
Speaker 5: nine year old young man. He was a minor league
Speaker 5: baseball player and a few years back he bought a
Speaker 5: fifty acre plot of land from his great aunt so
Speaker 5: she could afford to move into a senior's home. He
Speaker 5: paid one thousand dollars an acre, fifty thousand dollars for
Speaker 5: the property, and it really wasn't valued that high. It
Speaker 5: was way out in the country, the middle of nowhere.
Speaker 5: He just did it as a favor to his loved
Speaker 5: One one day, he was out with some equipment digging
Speaker 5: around on the property, clearing a couple of acres. He
Speaker 5: kept hitting this flat stone everywhere he went, right under
Speaker 5: the service there was this certain kind of rock. He
Speaker 5: called an expert out and they discovered that his property
Speaker 5: is filled with something called ghoshen stone. It's some of
Speaker 5: the most beautiful and sought after landscaping stone around. Geologists
Speaker 5: estimate there are twenty four million tons of goshen stone
Speaker 5: on his property. It sells for a little over one
Speaker 5: hundred dollars a ton. That calculates out to be a
Speaker 5: little over two billion dollars worth of stone. You know
Speaker 5: what that is? Water without rain. God increasing you in
Speaker 5: unusual ways beyond your salary, beyond what was expected. Why
Speaker 5: don't you take the limits off of God. You may
Speaker 5: not see how this can happen, but that's not our job.
Speaker 5: Our job is to believe. Our job is to say, God,
Speaker 5: I know you have some simple things in my future. God,
Speaker 5: I know you can fill my valleys in ways that
Speaker 5: I've never imagined. So Lord, I want to thank you
Speaker 5: for the surpassing greatness of your favor. Your faith is
Speaker 5: what activates God's power. When you're in a drought, when
Speaker 5: you're in a valley, that's when you'll be the most
Speaker 5: tempted to get discouraged to complain. If you're not careful,
Speaker 5: you'll settle that. Thank Ah, this is my lot in life.
Speaker 5: It's never gonna change. Joel I don't see any clouds
Speaker 5: in the sky, neither did Jehoshaphat. Yet God said the
Speaker 5: valley was going to be filled with water. It would
Speaker 5: have been hard enough to believe if God would have
Speaker 5: said it was going to rain. They were out in
Speaker 5: the desert. It never rains out there. Yet Elisha took
Speaker 5: it a step further and said it's not going to rain.
Speaker 5: You're not gonna see any clouds, any normal sign of
Speaker 5: this happening. But these valleys are going to fill up
Speaker 5: with water. Jehosaphat stood at a crossroads. Was he going
Speaker 5: to believe that God could do something unusual, unprecedented, out
Speaker 5: of the ordinary, or was he just going to look
Speaker 5: at it in the natural, reason it out and think, Ah,
Speaker 5: it's not gonna happen for me. I never get any
Speaker 5: good breaks, I'll never get well, I'll never meet the
Speaker 5: right person. I'm in a desert. No, you've got to
Speaker 5: do what Jehoshaphat did and say, even though I don't
Speaker 5: see any sign of this happening, even though it doesn't
Speaker 5: make sense in the natural, even though every voice is
Speaker 5: telling me it's impossible, I'm going to choose to believe
Speaker 5: what God said, that he can bring me water without rain,
Speaker 5: that he can turn this desert into a stream, that
Speaker 5: he can make a way where there is no way.
Speaker 5: When you believe all things are possible, quit telling yourself
Speaker 5: it's too big, it's too hard, it's not going to
Speaker 5: work out. You can talk yourself out of God's goodness.
Speaker 5: It may look impossible in the natural, but Remember, we
Speaker 5: serve a supernatural God. All it takes is one touch
Speaker 5: of his favor. This is what happened with the Israelites.
Speaker 5: They were in the desert, headed toward the Promised Land.
Speaker 5: They got tired of eating manna every day. Mana was
Speaker 5: something like bread. They complained to Moses that they didn't
Speaker 5: have any meat to eat. God heard the complaining and
Speaker 5: told Moses that he was going to give them meat
Speaker 5: for one day, not for five days, not for twenty days,
Speaker 5: but for a whole month. Moses said, God, that's impossible.
Speaker 5: We're in the desert. There are two million people out here.
Speaker 5: Even if we butchered all of our flocks and all
Speaker 5: of our herds, we wouldn't have that much meat. God
Speaker 5: said Moses. Is there any limit to my power? Moses?
Speaker 5: Did you forget that I parted the Red Sea, I
Speaker 5: stopped the sun for Joshua. I protected three Hebrew teenagers
Speaker 5: from a fiery furnace. Moses, don't you realize I can
Speaker 5: bring water without rain. I can bring meat without a
Speaker 5: grocery store. I can guide you through the desert without
Speaker 5: a GPS system, using a cloud by day, a pillar
Speaker 5: of fire by night. There's no limit to my power.
Speaker 5: The scripture says God shifted the direction of the wind
Speaker 5: and brought in quall from the sea and caused it
Speaker 5: to fall into the camp. God simply breathed in their direction,
Speaker 5: and suddenly millions of quall were at their front door.
Speaker 5: They didn't have to go looking for it. Honeing fishing.
Speaker 5: The quall came to them. God thought of home delivery
Speaker 5: way before Domino's. But sometimes we think, Joel, this situation's
Speaker 5: never going to change. God is asking you what he
Speaker 5: asked Moses. Is there any limit to my power? I
Speaker 5: make streets out of gold. I can bring your dreams
Speaker 5: to pass. I breathe life into your body. I can
Speaker 5: correct what's wrong. I control the whole universe. I can
Speaker 5: cause things to suddenly fall into place. Imagine that scene.
Speaker 5: Every night, for thirty days, two million people sitting down
Speaker 5: in the desert having a steak dinner. You know what,
Speaker 5: that was a simple thing. God just breathed on them.
Speaker 5: No big deal. Now, you may not need steak in
Speaker 5: the desert, but you need healing from an illness. You
Speaker 5: need freedom from an addiction. You need a child to
Speaker 5: come back home. You need a good bright to accomplish
Speaker 5: your dream. Why don't you say, God, you did it
Speaker 5: for them, do it for me. God, breathe in my direction,
Speaker 5: show me one of those simple things. God, let me
Speaker 5: have water without rain. This is what happened to a
Speaker 5: man in the scripture. He was a captain in the army.
Speaker 5: He had a young man that lived with him that
Speaker 5: was just like his son, that had become very sick
Speaker 5: and was close to death. The whole family was distraught
Speaker 5: and upset. They didn't know what to do. And this
Speaker 5: captain heard that Jesus was in town, and he went
Speaker 5: to him and said, Jesus, my loved one is so sick.
Speaker 5: Would you please help me. Jesus said yes, I'll come
Speaker 5: to your house right now and heal him. The man said, Jesus,
Speaker 5: I'm a captain in the army. I have a lot
Speaker 5: of authority when I speak. People obey me. You're busy.
Speaker 5: You don't need to come to my house. Just speak
Speaker 5: the word, and I know my loved one will be
Speaker 5: made whole. Jesus was amazed. Everyone else would have loved
Speaker 5: for Jesus to come to their house. They were all
Speaker 5: pulling on him, begging him, but not this man. His
Speaker 5: attitude was it's a simple thing for you. It's a
Speaker 5: big deal to me, but it's nothing for you. You
Speaker 5: spoke worlds into existence. Jesus said, I haven't seen this
Speaker 5: great of faith in all of Israel. You can go home.
Speaker 5: Your loved one has been healed. Here's my point. When
Speaker 5: you face a situation that looks impossible, you don't see
Speaker 5: how it could work out, But deep down you know,
Speaker 5: for our God it's a simple thing. God calls that
Speaker 5: great faith. It may seem like you could never get
Speaker 5: out of debt, never pay your house off, never build
Speaker 5: that orphanage you're dreaming about. But deep down you know
Speaker 5: God takes pleasure in prospering you. You know he's supplying
Speaker 5: all of your needs. You know you will lend and
Speaker 5: not borrow. That's great faith. The medical report may say
Speaker 5: nothing more we can do. The odds are against you,
Speaker 5: but deep down you know Jehovah Rapha, the Lord, our healer,
Speaker 5: is restoring health back into you. God calls that great faith.
Speaker 5: The child that's off course, the legal trouble, the problem
Speaker 5: at work looks like it may never turn around. You
Speaker 5: could easily live depressed, discourage, stressed out, But instead you
Speaker 5: have the attitude God, I know for you. It's a
Speaker 5: simple thing. All power is in your hands. God. You
Speaker 5: did it for Moses, you did it for Jehosaphath, you
Speaker 5: did it for the Army. Captain God, I know you
Speaker 5: can do it for me. That's what allows the creator
Speaker 5: of the universe to show up and do amazing things.
Speaker 5: Whatever you're up against, whatever you're dreaming about, keep the
Speaker 5: right perspective. It's a simple thing. For our God. He
Speaker 5: can bring water without rain. You may be in a desert,
Speaker 5: in a dry place. My encouragement is get ready. Those
Speaker 5: valleys are about to be filled. It's going to happen suddenly,
Speaker 5: not a normal way, not something you were expecting, something
Speaker 5: out of the ordinary. Suddenly the wind shifts in your direction,
Speaker 5: like the Israelites, your camp is filled with quail. In
Speaker 5: other words, you meet the right person, like the young
Speaker 5: lady with the scholarship, or somebody puts in a good
Speaker 5: word for you, like Mordecai. Suddenly you're vindicated, you're promoted.
Speaker 5: The problem turns around. God's done it in the past,
Speaker 5: He's going to do it again in the future. Now
Speaker 5: I believe and declare simple things are coming your way,
Speaker 5: supernatural breaks, opportunities, provision, healing, restoration. The winds of God's
Speaker 5: favor have shifted in your direction like Jahasafat. You're going
Speaker 5: to see water without rain. Your valleys are going to
Speaker 5: be filled to over flowing, plenty for yourself, plenty left
Speaker 5: over to be a blessing to others. In Jesus's name,
Speaker 5: I declare it, if you receive it? Can you say then? Today?
Speaker 5: And we never like to close our broadcast without giving
Speaker 5: you an opportunity to make Jesus the lord of your life.
Speaker 5: Would you pray with me? Just say, Lord Jesus, I'll
Speaker 5: repent of my sins. Come into my heart. I make
Speaker 5: you my Lord and save you. Friends. If you prayed
Speaker 5: that simple prayer, we believe you got born again. Get
Speaker 5: into good Bible based church. Keep God first place. He's
Speaker 5: going to take you places that you've never dreamed of.
