1

Speaker 1: we'll make you feel right at home. But thanks so

10
00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:27,720
Speaker 1: much for tuning in and thank you again for coming

11
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:30,480
Speaker 1: out today. And I like to start with something funny

12
00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:33,760
Speaker 1: and I heard about this husband and wife. They were

13
00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:39,159
Speaker 1: celebrating their sixtieth birthdays together. An angel suddenly appeared and

14
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:42,440
Speaker 1: said God was going to grant them each one special request.

15
00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:46,839
Speaker 1: They were so excited. The wife said, my request is

16
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:50,080
Speaker 1: that we'd be able to travel all over the world. Poof.

17
00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:52,640
Speaker 1: When the smoke cleared, she had tickets in her hand.

18
00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:56,520
Speaker 1: The husband hung his head in shame. He said, my

19
00:00:56,680 --> 00:00:59,360
Speaker 1: request is that I would be married to a woman

20
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:03,600
Speaker 1: thirty younger than me. Poof, when the smoke cleared, he

21
00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:08,399
Speaker 1: was ninety years old. Hold up your Bible say it

22
00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:11,520
Speaker 1: like you mean it. This is my Bible. I am

23
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:13,920
Speaker 1: what it says I am. I have what it says

24
00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:16,520
Speaker 1: I have. I can do what it says I can do.

25
00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:19,679
Speaker 1: Today I will be taught the word of God. I

26
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:23,880
Speaker 1: boldly confess. My mind is alert, my heart is receptive.

27
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:27,759
Speaker 1: I will never be the same. In Jesus' name, God

28
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:31,080
Speaker 1: bless you. I want to talk to you today about

29
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:35,520
Speaker 1: it's coming together. We all face situations that look like

30
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:39,120
Speaker 1: they're never going to work out. Our dream is too big,

31
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:42,840
Speaker 1: a medical report is too negative, or our family is

32
00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:46,440
Speaker 1: so dysfunctional. We don't see how we could ever be restored.

33
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:51,080
Speaker 1: And as the months go by, sometimes even years, we

34
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:54,960
Speaker 1: don't see anything happening. It's easy to get discouraged and

35
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:58,640
Speaker 1: give up on what we're believing for. But just because

36
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:02,520
Speaker 1: you don't see anything happening doesn't mean that God is

37
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:07,800
Speaker 1: not working behind the scenes. He's arranging things in your favor,

38
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:12,680
Speaker 1: lining up the right people, the healing, the promotion, the favor,

39
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:16,160
Speaker 1: and if you will stay in faith at the right time,

40
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:20,560
Speaker 1: you will see it come together. What you couldn't make

41
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:24,400
Speaker 1: happen on your own, God will make happen for you.

42
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:28,760
Speaker 1: Your dream is coming together. Your relationship is coming together.

43
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:33,000
Speaker 1: The healing, the promotion, the vindication will all come together.

44
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:36,000
Speaker 1: A friend of mine has been in a legal battle

45
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 1: for over six years. It's a business dispute. These people

46
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:44,600
Speaker 1: were making false accusations against him, trying to take his company.

47
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:47,320
Speaker 1: He knew he was in the right. He thought it'd

48
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:49,919
Speaker 1: take three or four months to clear up, but it's

49
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:53,840
Speaker 1: drug on year after year. He's had to fight those

50
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:57,000
Speaker 1: thoughts telling him this is going to ruin your career,

51
00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:01,519
Speaker 1: it's never going to work out, bankrupt your business, make

52
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:06,119
Speaker 1: you look bad. He could have been discouraged bitter. Instead,

53
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:09,360
Speaker 1: all through the day, Lord, thank you that you're my vindicator,

54
00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:13,040
Speaker 1: Thank you that you're fighting my battles. He was saying,

55
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:19,040
Speaker 1: in effect, thank you that is coming together. One day, unexpectedly,

56
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:23,040
Speaker 1: the other side called the judge and admitted that they

57
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 1: were making it up, that it was totally false. The

58
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 1: case was dismissed. Suddenly it all came together. He was vindicated.

59
00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:35,120
Speaker 1: It may not happen on your timetable, but I can

60
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:39,280
Speaker 1: assure you God is a faithful god. He said in

61
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:43,640
Speaker 1: Hebrews thirteen, in the amplified version, I will not I

62
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:47,280
Speaker 1: will not, I will not in any way fail you.

63
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 1: God said it three times because he knew how easy

64
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 1: it would be to give up on our dreams, let

65
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:59,119
Speaker 1: our circumstances, and how long it's taking talk us out

66
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:02,640
Speaker 1: of his best. You may have a situation that looks

67
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:07,000
Speaker 1: impossible today, the odds are against you. You've had some setbacks.

68
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:11,560
Speaker 1: Let me encourage you. It's coming together. God is not

69
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:15,360
Speaker 1: going to fail you. The breakthrough is already in your future.

70
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:19,400
Speaker 1: That person you've been dreaming about, you're not going to

71
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 1: have to find them. They're going to find you. Your

72
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:27,039
Speaker 1: relationship is coming together. Don't believe the lie that you'll

73
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:30,800
Speaker 1: have to live your life lonely. The right person has

74
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:34,200
Speaker 1: already been ordained to come across your path. Or you

75
00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:37,080
Speaker 1: may think you could never get out of debt, never

76
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:40,560
Speaker 1: live in a nice house, never really be successful in

77
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:43,800
Speaker 1: your career. You've gone as far as your education allows.

78
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:49,400
Speaker 1: Don't talk to yourself out of it. It's coming together. Promotion, abundance,

79
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:53,200
Speaker 1: new levels are headed your way. When you go through

80
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:57,640
Speaker 1: the day with this expectancy, knowing that God's working behind

81
00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:01,640
Speaker 1: the scenes bringing it together. That's what allows God to

82
00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:06,159
Speaker 1: do great things. You could be complaining instead you're saying, Lord,

83
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:09,479
Speaker 1: thank you that my healing is coming together. You can

84
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:13,720
Speaker 1: do what medicine cannot do, or that business, that dream,

85
00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:16,800
Speaker 1: that orphanage you put in my heart. Lord, thank you

86
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:21,479
Speaker 1: that the connections, the funding, the permits are all coming together.

87
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:27,120
Speaker 1: In the Scripture, the prophet Ezekiel saw a vision of

88
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:31,560
Speaker 1: this valley filled with dry bones. Was a huge graveyard

89
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:35,120
Speaker 1: with thousands and thousands of bones on the ground, and

90
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:38,080
Speaker 1: God told him to speak to those bones and they

91
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:41,640
Speaker 1: would come back to life. He could have thought, that's impossible.

92
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:46,760
Speaker 1: They're just bones, disjointed, dried up. They can't live. It's

93
00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:51,279
Speaker 1: too late. But in this vision he started prophesying to

94
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:55,400
Speaker 1: these dead bones, and the scripture says there was a noise,

95
00:05:56,160 --> 00:06:00,960
Speaker 1: a rattling, and the bones came together all at once.

96
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:06,159
Speaker 1: These bones joined back into the right place. The organs came,

97
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:10,800
Speaker 1: the tissue, the flesh. Then God breathed life into them,

98
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:15,600
Speaker 1: and they stood up like a vast army. The Israelites

99
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:20,200
Speaker 1: had been discouraged. They were saying, our bones are dried up,

100
00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:24,880
Speaker 1: our hope is gone. We've been cut off. In other words,

101
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:28,080
Speaker 1: we're just slaves and we're never going to reach our destiny.

102
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:32,560
Speaker 1: We just have dead, dry bones. God said Ezekiel. Go

103
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:36,960
Speaker 1: tell my people, The Sovereign Lord says, I'm about to

104
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:40,000
Speaker 1: open up your graves. I'm going to take you back

105
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:42,560
Speaker 1: to your land, and you will know that I am

106
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:47,040
Speaker 1: the Lord. He was saying, Ezekiel, go tell them what

107
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:50,440
Speaker 1: you saw in this vision, that there's about to be

108
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:55,000
Speaker 1: a great coming together. What they couldn't make happen on

109
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:58,599
Speaker 1: their own, I'm going to supernaturally make happen for them.

110
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:04,279
Speaker 1: Situation on your own may be impossible. The good news

111
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:07,480
Speaker 1: is you're not on your own. You have the most

112
00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:11,560
Speaker 1: powerful force in the universe on your side. One touch

113
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:14,800
Speaker 1: of God's favor can catapult you to a new level.

114
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:19,679
Speaker 1: But like the Israelites, what you have may seem dead.

115
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:23,600
Speaker 1: The medical report says you'll never get well. You lost

116
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:25,640
Speaker 1: a loved one and you don't see how you could

117
00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:29,200
Speaker 1: ever be happy again. Or you've been through some bad breaks.

118
00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:34,760
Speaker 1: Now all you have are these dead bones, disjointed, broken pieces,

119
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:39,040
Speaker 1: no way in the natural. But the Sovereign Lord is

120
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:42,640
Speaker 1: saying to you what he said to the Israelites. Get ready,

121
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:47,560
Speaker 1: there's about to be a great coming together. God is

122
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:50,320
Speaker 1: going to bring things to life that you thought were

123
00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:55,040
Speaker 1: dead dreams you've given up on. Suddenly the right people

124
00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:58,720
Speaker 1: show up. You get the break you need, the funding.

125
00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:02,680
Speaker 1: All of a sudden comes through that sickness you've been

126
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:05,560
Speaker 1: struggling with for years. You don't think you could ever

127
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:09,520
Speaker 1: get well. No, get ready. Health is about to spring forth.

128
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:13,720
Speaker 1: God knows how to bring the pieces back together. And

129
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:18,640
Speaker 1: by faith, I can hear a sound, a noise, a rattling.

130
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:22,480
Speaker 1: It's the sound of a great coming together. I can

131
00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:25,840
Speaker 1: hear the sound of abundance, the sound of healing, the

132
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:30,920
Speaker 1: sound of promotion, the sound of victory. God asked Ezekiel

133
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:34,160
Speaker 1: at the first part of this vision, can these dead

134
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:37,440
Speaker 1: bones live? Ezekiel could have looked at it in an

135
00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:42,320
Speaker 1: atron thought no way, that's impossible. Instead, he looked away

136
00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:47,080
Speaker 1: from his circumstances and he looked toward his God. He said, O,

137
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:51,599
Speaker 1: Sovereign Lord, you alone know, he was saying, God, you

138
00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:55,760
Speaker 1: controlled the universe, you have the final say. You're the

139
00:08:55,800 --> 00:09:00,000
Speaker 1: giver of life. You part red seas you opened blades.

140
00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:04,360
Speaker 1: You stop the son for Joshua. I may not see away,

141
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:07,800
Speaker 1: but old, Sovereign Lord, I know you have a way.

142
00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:10,640
Speaker 1: God said, all right, Ezekiel That's what I'm looking for.

143
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:15,720
Speaker 1: Not a doubter, not a complainer, Not somebody's gonna tell

144
00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:18,079
Speaker 1: me all the reasons why it's not going to happen.

145
00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:21,000
Speaker 1: I'm looking for a man or a woman like you,

146
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:24,439
Speaker 1: full of faith, people who know all things are possible.

147
00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:31,440
Speaker 1: God told Ezekiel to prophesy to those dead bones. Whatever

148
00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:38,160
Speaker 1: looks dead in your life, you need to prophesy, victory, prophesy, wholeness, prophesy, abundance.

149
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:42,559
Speaker 1: You may be struggling in your finances. Don't go around

150
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:46,719
Speaker 1: talking about how you'll never get ahead, how high prices are,

151
00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:50,640
Speaker 1: how what you can afford. If you have a poor mouth,

152
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:54,560
Speaker 1: you're going to have a poor life. Dare to prophesy.

153
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:58,000
Speaker 1: I am the head and not to tell whatever I

154
00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:01,520
Speaker 1: touch will prosper and succeed. Maybe you're up against a

155
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:05,360
Speaker 1: big obstacles. Don't talk about how big your problem is.

156
00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:09,920
Speaker 1: Talk about how big your God is. Dare to prophesy

157
00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:13,760
Speaker 1: of that sickness cancer. You can't defeat me. I'm a

158
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:17,400
Speaker 1: child of the most High God, that son that's off course.

159
00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:21,000
Speaker 1: Don't go call your friends talk about how bad he is,

160
00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:23,920
Speaker 1: how he's going to give you a nervous breakdown. How

161
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:27,080
Speaker 1: he keeps running with the wrong crowd. No prophesy my

162
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:30,320
Speaker 1: son will fulfill his destiny. I am calling out his

163
00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:34,199
Speaker 1: seeds of greatness. No weapon formed against my family will

164
00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:38,240
Speaker 1: ever prosper. When you get in agreement with God and

165
00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:42,440
Speaker 1: speak life and faith and favor and hell, you're going

166
00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:46,600
Speaker 1: to see a great coming together. Suddenly you get the

167
00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:50,480
Speaker 1: break you need. Suddenly your business turns around, Suddenly your

168
00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:55,040
Speaker 1: health improves. God will do what you couldn't do. My

169
00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:59,760
Speaker 1: father wasn't raised with any kind of spiritual upbringing. His

170
00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:04,000
Speaker 1: parents and family. They were fine people, cotton farmers, but

171
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:07,960
Speaker 1: they didn't know anything about God. At the age of seventeen,

172
00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:11,080
Speaker 1: my dad gave his life to Christ, the first one

173
00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:14,600
Speaker 1: in the family, and against all odds, he left the

174
00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:18,640
Speaker 1: farm and went on to become a successful pastor. And

175
00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:21,360
Speaker 1: over the years he would come back home and talk

176
00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:24,640
Speaker 1: to his family about the Lord. His mother and some

177
00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:28,720
Speaker 1: other relatives they were open. They received Christ, but his

178
00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:32,840
Speaker 1: father wouldn't have anything to do with God. He said, John,

179
00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:35,840
Speaker 1: I don't need any of that religious stuff. That's not

180
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:38,960
Speaker 1: for me. When I'm dead, I'm dead like a dog.

181
00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:42,040
Speaker 1: Just roll me over in a ditch. My Dad would

182
00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:44,720
Speaker 1: tell him, no, Dad, you have to live on somewhere.

183
00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:47,840
Speaker 1: It would go in one ear and out the other.

184
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:51,640
Speaker 1: This went on year after year. Looked like one of

185
00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:55,760
Speaker 1: those dead, dry bones, like he would never change. But

186
00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:59,880
Speaker 1: my father didn't get discouraged. He didn't go around complaining.

187
00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:04,679
Speaker 1: He kept prophesying to those dead bones. Father, you said,

188
00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:07,360
Speaker 1: as for me and my house, we will serve the

189
00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:12,080
Speaker 1: Lord all through the day instead of worrying. Lord. Thank

190
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:15,240
Speaker 1: you that you're working behind the scenes. Lord. I believe

191
00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:19,000
Speaker 1: these dead bones can live. I believe you'll reveal yourself

192
00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:22,600
Speaker 1: to my father. One day, my dad was a guest

193
00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:26,200
Speaker 1: minister in the town where his parents lived. He had

194
00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:29,439
Speaker 1: been talking to his father for over thirty years about

195
00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:32,679
Speaker 1: the Lord with no response. My dad was up in

196
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:36,000
Speaker 1: the podium giving his message when he saw his father

197
00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:39,480
Speaker 1: walk in the church and sit down on the back row,

198
00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:42,520
Speaker 1: first time his dad had ever been in church. My

199
00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:46,480
Speaker 1: father was thrilled. As my dad was speaking his message,

200
00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:50,079
Speaker 1: his father got up started walking down the center aisle

201
00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:54,000
Speaker 1: toward the platform. He didn't stop at the altar, he

202
00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:56,800
Speaker 1: didn't stop at the stairs. He came all the way

203
00:12:56,880 --> 00:12:59,600
Speaker 1: up on the platform, stood right next to my father

204
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:05,640
Speaker 1: interrupted his sermon. He said, John, I'm finishing today what

205
00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:08,760
Speaker 1: I started over thirty years ago. I want to give

206
00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:11,959
Speaker 1: my life to Christ. My father prayed with him, right

207
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:17,319
Speaker 1: there in front of the whole congregation. A dream came true. Afterwards,

208
00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:20,880
Speaker 1: my dad asked him what he meant about finishing what

209
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:25,000
Speaker 1: he started years earlier. He told how one day he

210
00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:27,880
Speaker 1: was out in the woods he got caught in a

211
00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:32,400
Speaker 1: huge snowstorm. He couldn't see anything, he lost his sense

212
00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:36,160
Speaker 1: of direction. Night came in. He had nowhere to go.

213
00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:39,319
Speaker 1: He was so cold. He was certain he was going

214
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:42,200
Speaker 1: to die that night. So he prayed for the first

215
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:45,480
Speaker 1: time and said, God, if you'll let me live, I'll

216
00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:49,240
Speaker 1: serve you. He fell asleep there in the snow. His

217
00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:52,520
Speaker 1: body was shutting down. But he woke up the next

218
00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:56,960
Speaker 1: morning as warm as toast. God had spared his life

219
00:13:57,000 --> 00:14:00,400
Speaker 1: all those years he had been putting it off. He said,

220
00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:03,680
Speaker 1: today I'm keeping my promise. I'm gonna do what I

221
00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:06,839
Speaker 1: told God I would do. He went on to join

222
00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:10,480
Speaker 1: that church. Not long after that, they asked him to

223
00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:13,719
Speaker 1: become an usher. You would have thought they'd asked him

224
00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:16,600
Speaker 1: to become the president of the United States. He was

225
00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:20,680
Speaker 1: so proud. He never missed a service. He only owned

226
00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:23,920
Speaker 1: one suit. They were very poor people, but he wore

227
00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:28,160
Speaker 1: that same suit every service. Years later, when he died,

228
00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:31,720
Speaker 1: he was buried in that suit. At the funeral, they

229
00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:36,240
Speaker 1: found stuffed in both front pockets gospel tracks that he

230
00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:40,440
Speaker 1: used to pass out everywhere he went. Friends, God knows

231
00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:43,400
Speaker 1: how to bring it all together. What you think was

232
00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:47,240
Speaker 1: dead over too far gone. You better get ready. It's

233
00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:53,840
Speaker 1: coming together that you think will never change. Like my grandfather,

234
00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:58,840
Speaker 1: God has already planted seeds in their heart. God's been

235
00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:02,080
Speaker 1: working behind the se in your life since the day

236
00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:06,320
Speaker 1: you were born, arranging the breaks you need, moving the

237
00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:09,560
Speaker 1: wrong people out of the way, lining up the favor

238
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:13,640
Speaker 1: the advantages. He's got it all figured out. You don't

239
00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:16,360
Speaker 1: have to worry. God has you in the palm of

240
00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:19,800
Speaker 1: his hand. He's not going to fail you. He is

241
00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:25,160
Speaker 1: faithful to his promises. Your family is coming together. The

242
00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:28,560
Speaker 1: dream may look too big, keep believing is coming together.

243
00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:32,560
Speaker 1: God has a way. That addiction you've been trying to

244
00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:36,840
Speaker 1: break for years, don't give up. Keep prophesying. Freedom is

245
00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:41,360
Speaker 1: coming together. See when you realize that God's in control,

246
00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:45,320
Speaker 1: that He's directing your steps, that He's already lined up

247
00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:49,440
Speaker 1: everything you need. Then you can relax. You don't have

248
00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:52,200
Speaker 1: to go through life trying to make it all happen

249
00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:56,880
Speaker 1: on your own, worried about your children, frustrating because it's

250
00:15:56,920 --> 00:16:00,680
Speaker 1: taken too long, Discourage because a dream looks dead. No,

251
00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:06,000
Speaker 1: keep reminding yourself. The sovereign Lord, the God who breathed

252
00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:09,080
Speaker 1: life into you, The God who knew you before you

253
00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:12,240
Speaker 1: were born, The God who has planned out your days

254
00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:15,760
Speaker 1: for good, The God who has protected you, promoted you,

255
00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:18,960
Speaker 1: healed you. The same God that brought you to where

256
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:21,280
Speaker 1: you are. He's going to get you to where you're

257
00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:26,200
Speaker 1: supposed to be. It may take a little longer than

258
00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:30,360
Speaker 1: you thought, but that's okay. God's timing is the perfect time.

259
00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:34,240
Speaker 1: It may not happen the way you had planned. My

260
00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:37,080
Speaker 1: father never thought his dad would interrupt him in the pulpit.

261
00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:40,200
Speaker 1: But God's ways are not our ways. They are better

262
00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:44,480
Speaker 1: than our ways. Is coming together. When my father went

263
00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:47,040
Speaker 1: to be with the Lord in nineteen ninety nine, I

264
00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:50,040
Speaker 1: knew I was supposed to step up to pasture the church.

265
00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:53,200
Speaker 1: I felt it so strongly, but I didn't know if

266
00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:56,520
Speaker 1: I could do it. I like being behind the scenes

267
00:16:57,000 --> 00:17:00,120
Speaker 1: That's where I'd spent the last seventeen years do in

268
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:03,800
Speaker 1: the television production at the church and editing my father's sermons.

269
00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:07,040
Speaker 1: But I took that step of faith, not knowing what

270
00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:11,040
Speaker 1: was going to happen. Looking back now, I can see

271
00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:14,600
Speaker 1: how God was guiding me all that time. When I

272
00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:17,919
Speaker 1: edited my father's sermons, I would have to listen to

273
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:21,800
Speaker 1: them each probably five or six times to cut them

274
00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:26,879
Speaker 1: down to time. All those years, those scriptures, those stories

275
00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:30,719
Speaker 1: were going into me over and over, getting me prepared

276
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:34,400
Speaker 1: for what I'm doing now. I never dreamed I would

277
00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:38,959
Speaker 1: become a minister, but it all came together what I

278
00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:42,879
Speaker 1: needed God had already put in me. Never dreamed we'd

279
00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:46,040
Speaker 1: have church in the former Compact Center, but it all

280
00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:49,439
Speaker 1: came together more than we could ask or think. Are

281
00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:54,120
Speaker 1: you worrying about your future, worried about how you're going

282
00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:58,080
Speaker 1: to accomplish a dream, how you're going to raise your children,

283
00:17:58,359 --> 00:18:00,440
Speaker 1: how you're ever going to meet the right place person?

284
00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:04,920
Speaker 1: God has already lined it up. He's already arranged everything

285
00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:08,680
Speaker 1: you need. Like with me, you may not even realize

286
00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:12,919
Speaker 1: how right now God is getting you prepared for something

287
00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:17,440
Speaker 1: much greater, much bigger than you've ever dreamed, Keep honoring him,

288
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:22,360
Speaker 1: keep being your best, keep prophesying life to those dead areas,

289
00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:25,680
Speaker 1: you too are going to see it all come together

290
00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:30,399
Speaker 1: more than you imagine. Our daughter, Alexandra was two months

291
00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:34,360
Speaker 1: old when my father died, and Jonathan was three. Our

292
00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:38,400
Speaker 1: lives had suddenly changed. We had a lot more responsibility

293
00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:43,520
Speaker 1: pastoring a large church, plus never having ministered before made

294
00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:46,840
Speaker 1: it even more stressful. We knew we were going to

295
00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:50,040
Speaker 1: need some help with our children. Like any parent, we

296
00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:53,160
Speaker 1: were very picky. We wanted to find the perfect person,

297
00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:55,720
Speaker 1: very loving and kind, that would treat them the way

298
00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:58,159
Speaker 1: we did, and we didn't really know where to start.

299
00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:03,280
Speaker 1: One Sunday, Victoria was leaving church walking by the platform.

300
00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:07,160
Speaker 1: She saw this young man that she's seen there many times.

301
00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:11,720
Speaker 1: He seemed very nice and wholesome, always faithful, and Victoria

302
00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:15,960
Speaker 1: went over and struck up a conversation, eventually asking what

303
00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:19,160
Speaker 1: his mother did for a living. He said she doesn't

304
00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:21,080
Speaker 1: have a full time job. She does a lot of

305
00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:24,760
Speaker 1: volunteering work. Victoria told that we were looking for somebody.

306
00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:29,200
Speaker 1: Long story short, We met her and things fell into place.

307
00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:33,040
Speaker 1: She was a perfect fit. Our children loved her like

308
00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:37,719
Speaker 1: our own family. She was always laughing, loving, easygoing. You

309
00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:41,600
Speaker 1: couldn't find a better person. Now. About a year after

310
00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:46,000
Speaker 1: she started working for us, she told how years earlier

311
00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:49,240
Speaker 1: she had had a dream one night where she was

312
00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:53,720
Speaker 1: taking care of a beautiful, blue eyed, blonde haired baby girl.

313
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:57,320
Speaker 1: She's Hispanic. She has two sons of her own. She

314
00:19:57,359 --> 00:20:00,440
Speaker 1: didn't understand what the dream meant, but when she saw

315
00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:04,480
Speaker 1: little Alexandra, blonde haired, blue eyed, she said, that's the

316
00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:07,919
Speaker 1: baby that I saw in my dream. What am I saying?

317
00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:12,080
Speaker 1: God has the right people already lined up for you

318
00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:15,399
Speaker 1: at the right time. It's all going to come together.

319
00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:18,960
Speaker 1: You don't have to worry. You don't have to live

320
00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:23,280
Speaker 1: stressed out. God is directing your steps. He controls the

321
00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:26,080
Speaker 1: whole universe. You can stay in a place of peace.

322
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:30,400
Speaker 1: In the scripture, a lady named Ruth lost her husband.

323
00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:33,840
Speaker 1: She was out in the fields picking up leftover grain,

324
00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:38,879
Speaker 1: trying to survive, just barely making it. Boaz, the owner

325
00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:43,760
Speaker 1: of those fields, spoke to his workers about Ruth, telling

326
00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:46,800
Speaker 1: them to leave wheat on the ground on purpose for

327
00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:50,200
Speaker 1: Ruth to make it easier on her. He didn't speak

328
00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:54,280
Speaker 1: to Ruth, he spoke about Ruth. She never heard what

329
00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:57,720
Speaker 1: he said, But her life got a whole lot easier.

330
00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:01,160
Speaker 1: She had more wheat than she needed. She was finished

331
00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:05,240
Speaker 1: in half the time, all because somebody she didn't even

332
00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:08,280
Speaker 1: know put in a good word for her. In the

333
00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:12,320
Speaker 1: same way, God has already spoken to the right people

334
00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:15,240
Speaker 1: to be good to you, to bless you, to show

335
00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:20,399
Speaker 1: your favor, to open the right doors. Like Ruth, suddenly

336
00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:24,439
Speaker 1: you come into blessings that you didn't work for. People

337
00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:26,879
Speaker 1: go out of their way to help you succeed. You

338
00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:30,680
Speaker 1: may never know why it happened. That's God working behind

339
00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:34,879
Speaker 1: the scenes, bringing it all together. As a young man,

340
00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:38,400
Speaker 1: God put a dream in Moses's heart that he would

341
00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:42,400
Speaker 1: deliver the people of Israel out of slavery. But Moses

342
00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:45,120
Speaker 1: got in a hurry and didn't wait for God's timing.

343
00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:48,600
Speaker 1: He saw a Hebrew slave being mistreated by one of

344
00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:51,960
Speaker 1: the foremen. He didn't think anybody was watching. He went

345
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:55,000
Speaker 1: over and killed that foreman, trying to help his Hebrew

346
00:21:55,080 --> 00:22:00,160
Speaker 1: brother out. Moses ended up having to flee for his life.

347
00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:03,760
Speaker 1: He spent forty years in hiding on the back side

348
00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:06,760
Speaker 1: of the desert. Looked like he had missed his destiny.

349
00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:10,760
Speaker 1: I'm sure he felt like a failure, thoughts telling him

350
00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:14,160
Speaker 1: too bad, Moses, you had your chance. That mistake really

351
00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:18,720
Speaker 1: did you in. Moses was raised in the palace, in

352
00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:21,960
Speaker 1: the household of the fay Roah. He was trained to

353
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:26,800
Speaker 1: be a prince, educated by the best scholars, spoke different languages.

354
00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:31,439
Speaker 1: He was gifted, talented, prepared to do something great. But

355
00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:35,240
Speaker 1: now instead of wearing his royal robe, he's got on

356
00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:38,280
Speaker 1: an old, dirty, smelly piece of cloth that he found

357
00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:42,040
Speaker 1: on the ground. Instead of conducting his business in the

358
00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:46,560
Speaker 1: palace where he's esteemed and respected, now he spends his

359
00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:51,280
Speaker 1: days taking care of sheep, shoveling their waist out in

360
00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:54,480
Speaker 1: the middle of the desert. Year after year went by,

361
00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:58,840
Speaker 1: Moses thought, I must have heard God wrong. Maybe I

362
00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:02,520
Speaker 1: was never supposed to deliver the people of Israel. Maybe

363
00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:05,520
Speaker 1: I'm not supposed to do something great. What was I thinking?

364
00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:09,920
Speaker 1: Just when he was about to give up, suddenly a

365
00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:14,000
Speaker 1: bush exploded caught on fire right in front of him.

366
00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:17,520
Speaker 1: This bush burned and burned, but it wouldn't burn up.

367
00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:20,480
Speaker 1: Moses thought, what in the world is going on? He

368
00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:22,880
Speaker 1: went over to get a better look at it. When

369
00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:28,280
Speaker 1: he did, a voice boomed out, saying, Moses, Moses take

370
00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:33,120
Speaker 1: off your sandals. You are standing on holy ground. God

371
00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:37,040
Speaker 1: was saying, Moses, I haven't forgotten about you. You may

372
00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:40,600
Speaker 1: have made some mistakes, you may have taken some wrong turns,

373
00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:43,960
Speaker 1: but get ready, I'm about to bring it together. What

374
00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:47,159
Speaker 1: I promise you, I'm still going to bring to pass.

375
00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:53,160
Speaker 1: After forty years of not seeing anything happening, suddenly God

376
00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:56,680
Speaker 1: turned it around. Moses went out and delivered the people

377
00:23:56,720 --> 00:23:59,760
Speaker 1: of Israel. You may think, Joel, it could never come

378
00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:03,160
Speaker 1: to Yeather for me. It's been too long. You made

379
00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:08,000
Speaker 1: too many mistakes, you missed too many opportunities. In your heart,

380
00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:11,239
Speaker 1: you know what God has promised you. But in your

381
00:24:11,359 --> 00:24:14,720
Speaker 1: mind the enemy will whisper these thoughts of doubt. Maybe

382
00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:17,840
Speaker 1: I'm not supposed to get married. Maybe I'm not supposed

383
00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:20,960
Speaker 1: to break this addiction. Maybe I'm not supposed to start

384
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:25,240
Speaker 1: my own business. Deep down, you feel seeds of greatness

385
00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:29,760
Speaker 1: stirring on the inside, but every circumstance is no way.

386
00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:34,320
Speaker 1: It's too late. But just like with Moses, what God

387
00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:38,199
Speaker 1: promised you, He's still going to do. It may not

388
00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:43,280
Speaker 1: have happened yet, but don't worry. It's coming together. God

389
00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:47,080
Speaker 1: is still on the throne. He sent me as your

390
00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:50,640
Speaker 1: burning bush to let you know it's not too late.

391
00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:54,639
Speaker 1: You haven't missed your destiny. You haven't seen your best days.

392
00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:59,240
Speaker 1: What God started in your life, he's going to finish

393
00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:05,040
Speaker 1: about to see a divine coming together. That means it's supernatural.

394
00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:08,160
Speaker 1: You couldn't make it happen. You didn't have the strength,

395
00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:11,240
Speaker 1: the talent, the funds. God set the bush on fire.

396
00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:14,480
Speaker 1: God healed you. God sent the right people. God brought

397
00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:18,879
Speaker 1: your dream to pass. In the scripture, Jacob thought his

398
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:23,520
Speaker 1: son Joseph was dead. Joseph's brothers brought his bloody robe

399
00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:26,800
Speaker 1: and told their father that Joseph had been killed by

400
00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:30,600
Speaker 1: a wild animal. The truth is they had sold Joseph

401
00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:35,840
Speaker 1: into slavery. Jacob was so heartbroken, the father so devastated

402
00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:38,800
Speaker 1: he thought he couldn't go on after losing his youngest son.

403
00:25:39,720 --> 00:25:43,040
Speaker 1: Year after year passed by. Now Jacob is an old man.

404
00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:47,800
Speaker 1: Those same brothers brought him the news that Joseph, indeed

405
00:25:48,040 --> 00:25:51,640
Speaker 1: was still alive and in charge of the nation of Egypt.

406
00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:56,680
Speaker 1: Jacob was overwhelmed. They took him to see his son.

407
00:25:57,320 --> 00:26:00,800
Speaker 1: He said, Joseph, I never thought i'd see you again.

408
00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:04,359
Speaker 1: But not only did I get to see you. I

409
00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:08,800
Speaker 1: got to see my grandchildren. When God brings it all together,

410
00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:11,120
Speaker 1: it's not going to be what you thought. It's going

411
00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:15,320
Speaker 1: to be bigger, better, more rewarding than you ever expected.

412
00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:20,160
Speaker 1: Like Jacob, You're not going to die without seeing that

413
00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:24,880
Speaker 1: promise fulfilled. Don't stop believing. God's working behind the scenes.

414
00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:28,399
Speaker 1: He's already arranged it exactly what you need. Now do

415
00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:31,920
Speaker 1: your part. Get up every day, prophesy life to those

416
00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:35,760
Speaker 1: dead areas. If you'll do this, I believe and declare

417
00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:39,919
Speaker 1: your dream is coming together, your health is coming together,

418
00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:44,360
Speaker 1: your relationship is coming together. You're about to hear a noise,

419
00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:48,240
Speaker 1: a sound. God's going to make happen what you couldn't

420
00:26:48,280 --> 00:26:51,639
Speaker 1: make happen. Like Ezekiel, You're going to see a great

421
00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:56,080
Speaker 1: coming together in Jesus' name. And if you believe it,

422
00:26:56,280 --> 00:26:59,800
Speaker 1: can you say it? Men? Today, we never like to

423
00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:03,920
Speaker 1: our broadcast without giving you an opportunity to make Jesus

424
00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:06,280
Speaker 1: the lord of your life. Would you pray with me?

425
00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:12,600
Speaker 1: Just say, Lord, Jesus, I'll repent of my sins. Come

426
00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:18,200
Speaker 1: into my heart. I'll make you my lord and savior. Friends,

427
00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:20,640
Speaker 1: if you prayed that simple prayer, we believe you got

428
00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:24,000
Speaker 1: born again, Get in a good Bible based church. Keep

429
00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:26,879
Speaker 1: God first place. He's going to take you places that

430
00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:27,840
Speaker 1: you've never dreamed.

431
00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:31,800
Speaker 2: Fear can be a powerful force and will try to

432
00:27:31,840 --> 00:27:36,639
Speaker 2: make you feel alone, stuck without hope. But fear doesn't

433
00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:40,160
Speaker 2: have to get the final say there is a way out.

434
00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:43,520
Speaker 1: Fear is a powerful force, but so is faith. What

435
00:27:43,640 --> 00:27:46,879
Speaker 1: we focus on shapes our reality. In my new book,

436
00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:50,080
Speaker 1: No More Fear, You Have the Mind of Christ, I'll

437
00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:52,919
Speaker 1: show you how to silence fear and live boldly in

438
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:56,760
Speaker 1: faith and confidence. Just like David said, though I walk

439
00:27:56,840 --> 00:28:00,119
Speaker 1: through the valley, I will not fear you too, and

440
00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:04,199
Speaker 1: walk through life's challenges without being paralyzed by fear. I

441
00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:07,199
Speaker 1: can't promise you you'll never feel fear, but I can

442
00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:09,879
Speaker 1: teach you how to rise above it. By dwelling on

443
00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:13,760
Speaker 1: what God says. Learning to replace the anxious thoughts with

444
00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:17,200
Speaker 1: faith filled ones, you can live from a place of peace,

445
00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:18,800
Speaker 1: power and purpose.

446
00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:22,040
Speaker 2: As our way of saying thank you for your gift

447
00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:24,600
Speaker 2: of any amount this month, we would like to send

448
00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:28,000
Speaker 2: you a copy of Joel's book, No More Fear, You

449
00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:31,840
Speaker 2: Have the Mind of Christ. The Bible proclaims the Lord

450
00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:35,399
Speaker 2: is My Light, and my salvation. Whom shall I fear?

451
00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:39,480
Speaker 2: This powerful and practical book will help you silenced out,

452
00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:44,960
Speaker 2: overcome anxiety and step boldly into God's overcoming power when

453
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:49,080
Speaker 2: fear whispers you can't. This devotional will stir your faith

454
00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:53,160
Speaker 2: to declare God will. Each page reminds you that you

455
00:28:53,280 --> 00:28:56,920
Speaker 2: weren't created to live in fear or despair. You were

456
00:28:56,960 --> 00:29:01,320
Speaker 2: created to live with passion, purpose, and confidence in God's

457
00:29:01,360 --> 00:29:05,000
Speaker 2: plans for your life. Let God's word equip you to

458
00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:07,920
