I late to start with. 35 00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:37,000 Speaker 4: Something funny, and I heard about this country grandmother. She'd 36 00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:39,480 Speaker 4: go out on the front porch every morning and thank 37 00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:42,480 Speaker 4: the Lord for another day. Well, her neighbor didn't. 38 00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:43,080 Speaker 3: Believe in God. 39 00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:46,160 Speaker 4: He'd shout back, there's no such thing as the Lord. 40 00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:49,440 Speaker 4: One day he overheard her asking God to give her 41 00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:52,440 Speaker 4: groceries for the week. He snuck over early the next 42 00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:54,600 Speaker 4: morning put some groceries on our front porch. 43 00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:57,000 Speaker 3: She came out and said, thank you, Lord, you did 44 00:01:57,040 --> 00:01:57,480 Speaker 3: it again. 45 00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:00,600 Speaker 4: He laughed and laughed, said God, I didn't give you 46 00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:01,320 Speaker 4: the groceries. 47 00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:02,160 Speaker 3: I put them there. 48 00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:05,480 Speaker 4: She said, Lord, thank you you not only since the groceries, 49 00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:10,080 Speaker 4: but you made the devil pay for them. Say it 50 00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:13,119 Speaker 4: like you mean it. This is my Bible. I am 51 00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:15,680 Speaker 4: what it says I am. I have what it says 52 00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:18,239 Speaker 4: I have. I can do what it says I can do. 53 00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:21,440 Speaker 4: Today I will be taught the word of God. I 54 00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:25,799 Speaker 4: boldly confess. My mind is alert, my heart is receptive. 55 00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:29,480 Speaker 4: I will never be the same. In Jesus' name. 56 00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:30,400 Speaker 3: God bless you. 57 00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:34,880 Speaker 4: I want to talk to you today about awaken your 58 00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:38,920 Speaker 4: great faith. We all face dreams that seem too big 59 00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:42,720 Speaker 4: and obstacles that are too much to overcome. The medical 60 00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:46,320 Speaker 4: report is not good, child is off course, we don't 61 00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:48,080 Speaker 4: have the connection for our dreams. 62 00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:51,440 Speaker 3: It's easy to get discouraged and settle where we are. 63 00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:54,640 Speaker 4: But God wouldn't have put the dream in your heart 64 00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:57,240 Speaker 4: if he didn't have a way to bring it to pass. 65 00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:00,639 Speaker 4: He wouldn't have let you get in that child, if 66 00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:04,400 Speaker 4: he wasn't planning on bringing you out. But our faith, 67 00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:07,960 Speaker 4: what we believe, will have a great impact on what's 68 00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:11,200 Speaker 4: going to happen. It's not just up to God, He 69 00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:14,160 Speaker 4: has all the power in the world. It's up to us. 70 00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:19,000 Speaker 4: He works through faith. If you believe little, you'll receive little. 71 00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:22,880 Speaker 4: If you think small, talk small, I've reached my limits, 72 00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:26,520 Speaker 4: then you'll get stuck where you are. The scripture talks 73 00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:30,200 Speaker 4: about different levels of faith. The disciples were on a 74 00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:34,360 Speaker 4: boat when a juge storm arose. They started looking at 75 00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:37,960 Speaker 4: the winds, the waves, how big they were. They got 76 00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:41,040 Speaker 4: worried and ran and woke Jesus up, and we're about 77 00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:41,480 Speaker 4: to die. 78 00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:45,320 Speaker 3: Before Jesus calmed the storm, before he. 79 00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:47,920 Speaker 4: Spoke to the waves, he looked at them and said, 80 00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:50,480 Speaker 4: why do you have such a little faith? 81 00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:54,200 Speaker 3: He was saying, you've seen what I can do. You've 82 00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:58,240 Speaker 3: seen me heal the sick, multiply the food, restore the broken. 83 00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:01,680 Speaker 4: Why are you still stuck at that low level of 84 00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:03,360 Speaker 4: faith when you know I. 85 00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:07,680 Speaker 3: Can do anything. Another place in the scripture talks about. 86 00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:11,440 Speaker 4: Weak faith, people that barely believe, get talked out of 87 00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:14,560 Speaker 4: their dreams, that at any moment give up on what 88 00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:18,040 Speaker 4: God put in their heart. But there are two places 89 00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:22,560 Speaker 4: where Jesus talked about people with great faith. These were 90 00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:27,440 Speaker 4: people that dared to believe despite the circumstances, that knew 91 00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:30,960 Speaker 4: our God is all powerful, that he can make streams 92 00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:33,880 Speaker 4: in the desert, that he can open doors no person 93 00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:37,040 Speaker 4: can shut, that he can do what medicine cannot do. 94 00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:40,760 Speaker 4: If you're going to reach the fullness of your destiny. 95 00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:44,000 Speaker 4: It's not going to happen with weak faith, little faith, 96 00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:45,960 Speaker 4: doubting faith, average faith. 97 00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:49,640 Speaker 3: It's going to take great faith. The good news is 98 00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:51,800 Speaker 3: it's in you. 99 00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:54,920 Speaker 4: You have the ability to go places you've never gone, 100 00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:57,800 Speaker 4: to overcome challenges that seem too big. 101 00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:02,159 Speaker 3: But here's the whole key. Have to awaken your great faith. 102 00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:05,000 Speaker 3: You have to stir up what God put in you. 103 00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:08,000 Speaker 4: The enemy would love for you to go through life 104 00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:13,080 Speaker 4: with little faith, not believing, full of doubt, or weak faith, 105 00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:17,720 Speaker 4: comfortable where you are, not stretching, not putting a demand 106 00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:21,880 Speaker 4: on your faith. But the day we're living in, average 107 00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:25,400 Speaker 4: faith is not going to cut it to overcome forces 108 00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:26,839 Speaker 4: that are trying to stop you. 109 00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:29,960 Speaker 3: You can't have ordinary faith to leave you a mark. 110 00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:32,599 Speaker 3: You can't just believe like everyone else. 111 00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:36,479 Speaker 4: It's going to take people that will dare to believe big, 112 00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:39,600 Speaker 4: to take the limits off, to say God, I don't 113 00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:41,840 Speaker 4: see a way, but I know you have a way. 114 00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:46,560 Speaker 4: God wants to do something new in your life, uncommon, 115 00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:49,160 Speaker 4: out of the ordinary. But if you're going to see 116 00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:51,880 Speaker 4: great favor, you have to have great faith. 117 00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:55,560 Speaker 3: Little faith says I'll never get well. Have you seen 118 00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:56,520 Speaker 3: the medical report. 119 00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:59,880 Speaker 4: Great faith says, God is restoring health back in them. 120 00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:01,960 Speaker 3: I will live and not die. 121 00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:07,200 Speaker 4: Little faith says, these disappointments have limited my life. This 122 00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:10,279 Speaker 4: bad break is why I can't go any further. Great 123 00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:12,720 Speaker 4: faith says God, you have beauty. 124 00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:15,160 Speaker 3: For these ashes. What was meant from my harm? You're 125 00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:16,600 Speaker 3: turning to my advantage. 126 00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:21,320 Speaker 4: Little faith says, I'll always struggle in my finances. Man, 127 00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:25,039 Speaker 4: with gas prices, the pandemic. How I is raised, I'll 128 00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:28,720 Speaker 4: never have abundance. Great faith says, I will lend and 129 00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:31,760 Speaker 4: not borrow. I live under the open windows of heaven. 130 00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:36,240 Speaker 4: My cup runs over. Friends, Great faith is already in you. 131 00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:40,479 Speaker 4: I'm just trying to awaken your great faith. That's how 132 00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:42,760 Speaker 4: you're going to go to a new level. That's how 133 00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:45,440 Speaker 4: your business will take off. That's how you're going to 134 00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:48,880 Speaker 4: break the addiction. That's how those children are going to 135 00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:52,279 Speaker 4: get back on course. It's not just going to be by. 136 00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:54,960 Speaker 3: Your willpower, your strength, your intellect. 137 00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:58,159 Speaker 4: That's all good, but it's going to happen because of 138 00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:02,280 Speaker 4: your faith. To get in agreement with God, Angels go 139 00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:06,320 Speaker 4: to work. Forces of darkness are broken. Good break start 140 00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:11,600 Speaker 4: chasing you down. Great faith activates great favor. What you 141 00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:14,080 Speaker 4: believe is setting limits for your life. 142 00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:17,679 Speaker 3: Don't go around with weak faith, little faith, doubting faith, 143 00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:21,360 Speaker 3: complain in faith, get out of your box, start believing 144 00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:24,480 Speaker 3: for bigger things. It's not that God is limited. 145 00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:27,960 Speaker 4: He's all powerful, but we can limit him by our 146 00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:28,720 Speaker 4: small thinking. 147 00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:31,760 Speaker 3: In the Scripture, the prophet. 148 00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:35,520 Speaker 4: Ezekiel had a vision of this valley that was filled 149 00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:39,480 Speaker 4: with dry bones, with a huge graveyard with thousands of 150 00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:40,480 Speaker 4: bones on the ground. 151 00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:43,280 Speaker 3: These bones represented what. 152 00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:48,040 Speaker 4: Was dead, dreams that didn't work out, disappointments, and closed doors. 153 00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:52,120 Speaker 4: God was about to bring these bones together cause these 154 00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:55,000 Speaker 4: people to come back to life. But before any of 155 00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:59,240 Speaker 4: this happened, before God did the miraculous, he asked Ezekiel 156 00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:02,800 Speaker 4: in this vision, do you believe that these dead. 157 00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:03,440 Speaker 3: Bones can live? 158 00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:07,440 Speaker 4: He was saying, Ezekiel, what level of faith are you at? 159 00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:11,600 Speaker 4: Do you have weak faith, little faith, doubting faith, or 160 00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:13,080 Speaker 4: do you have great faith? 161 00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:16,000 Speaker 3: Do you believe that I can do the impossible? 162 00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:21,880 Speaker 4: Ezekiel answered back, saying, oh, Sovereign Lord. He was saying, God, 163 00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:26,520 Speaker 4: you control the universe. You part red seas, you stopped 164 00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:30,160 Speaker 4: the sun for Joshua. You gave Sarah a baby at ninety. 165 00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:33,560 Speaker 4: Yes this looks impossible, but I know you can do 166 00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:37,480 Speaker 4: the impossible. God said, in effect, Ezekiel, That's what I'm 167 00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:42,200 Speaker 4: looking for, Not weak faith, not a complainer, not someone 168 00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:44,760 Speaker 4: that's gonna tell me all the reasons it's not gonna happen. 169 00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:46,760 Speaker 3: I'm looking for great faith. 170 00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:51,400 Speaker 4: He told Ezekiel to prophesy to those dead bones. When 171 00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:54,680 Speaker 4: he did, the bones begin to come together and skin 172 00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:58,120 Speaker 4: forwarded over them. God breathed breath into them. Just like 173 00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:00,679 Speaker 4: in a movie. Those people stood up came. 174 00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:02,000 Speaker 3: Back to life. 175 00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:04,720 Speaker 4: Now there may be things in your life today that 176 00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:10,239 Speaker 4: look dead, situations that seem impossible, your health, your finances, 177 00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:11,440 Speaker 4: and your relationships. 178 00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:13,000 Speaker 3: God is asking you. 179 00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:16,440 Speaker 4: What do you ask, Ezekiel, Do you believe those dead 180 00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:19,959 Speaker 4: bones can live? Do you believe you can get well? 181 00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:23,080 Speaker 4: You can set a new standard for your family, you 182 00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:27,040 Speaker 4: can get your degree, write that book, build that orphanage. 183 00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:31,480 Speaker 3: All the circumstances may say there's no way that's impossible. 184 00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:34,720 Speaker 3: You could get discouraged and easily talk yourself out of it. 185 00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:38,199 Speaker 3: Live with ordinary faith. God, just help me to survive. 186 00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:42,840 Speaker 4: Have little faith, God, I hope I can endure weak faith. God, 187 00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:47,760 Speaker 4: this isn't fair. Try a different approach like Ezekiel. Great 188 00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:50,720 Speaker 4: faith is down in you. It's not in your mind, 189 00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:54,240 Speaker 4: it's not in your intellect, it's in your spirit. For 190 00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:56,240 Speaker 4: some people, it's been asleep. 191 00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:56,640 Speaker 3: A long time. 192 00:09:57,040 --> 00:10:00,480 Speaker 4: God sent me to awaken it. He's about to bring 193 00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:03,679 Speaker 4: dead things back to life. He's about to do something 194 00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:09,080 Speaker 4: you've never seen. Restore your health, open new doors of opportunity, 195 00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:13,360 Speaker 4: turn that child around. But there is one requirement that 196 00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:16,120 Speaker 4: he's looking for, and that is great faith. 197 00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:20,120 Speaker 3: The good news is you have it. Now do your part. 198 00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:22,520 Speaker 3: Get in agreement with God. Father. 199 00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:26,079 Speaker 4: Thank you that I will accomplish my dreams. I believe 200 00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:28,800 Speaker 4: I will get well. I believe this will be a 201 00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:32,000 Speaker 4: bountiful year. Lord, Thank you that you're breathing on my 202 00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:35,880 Speaker 4: life right now. You keep that attitude of faith and 203 00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:39,400 Speaker 4: watch what God will do. Great faith brings great favor. 204 00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:42,719 Speaker 4: Friend of mine has a daughter. When she was three 205 00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:46,320 Speaker 4: years old, this very heavy piece of iron fell on 206 00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:48,920 Speaker 4: two of her fingers and cut the very tips off. 207 00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:52,480 Speaker 4: They rushed her to the emergency room, and after taking 208 00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:54,960 Speaker 4: all the X rays and doing all the tests, this 209 00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:58,640 Speaker 4: specialist came in and said to the father, I'm sorry, 210 00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:02,160 Speaker 4: but there's nothing we can do to restore her fingers 211 00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:05,720 Speaker 4: back to normal. She'll never have nails on those two fingers, 212 00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:07,480 Speaker 4: and they'll always be a little bit shorter. 213 00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:09,480 Speaker 3: The bone had been cut. 214 00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:12,560 Speaker 4: All they could do was a skin graft to hopefully 215 00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:15,800 Speaker 4: make them look as smooth as possible. The father was 216 00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:19,600 Speaker 4: very respectful, but he said to the doctor, I believe 217 00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:23,719 Speaker 4: that God can restore my little girl's finger and make 218 00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:24,880 Speaker 4: them normal once again. 219 00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:27,400 Speaker 3: The doctor looked at him really odd. 220 00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:30,199 Speaker 4: He was from another country and he didn't have any 221 00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:32,959 Speaker 4: kind of faith background. He said, that's fine, sir, if 222 00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:35,920 Speaker 4: you want to believe like that, but understand. 223 00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:36,640 Speaker 3: The bone is missing. 224 00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:39,640 Speaker 4: They will never be the right link, and for sure 225 00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:42,840 Speaker 4: she's not gonna have fingernails. When his wife came in, 226 00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:46,160 Speaker 4: the doctor got her aside and said, your husband's in shock. 227 00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:49,000 Speaker 4: He won't accept the fact that the tip of those 228 00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:50,160 Speaker 4: fingers have been cut off. 229 00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:51,920 Speaker 3: They did the skin graft. 230 00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:55,240 Speaker 4: Six weeks later, they brought the little girl back for 231 00:11:55,520 --> 00:11:56,280 Speaker 4: a checkup. 232 00:11:56,679 --> 00:12:00,000 Speaker 3: When the doctor took the bandage off, his first words were, 233 00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:04,840 Speaker 3: oh my god. The father was alarmed. He said, what's wrong, doctor. 234 00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:08,760 Speaker 4: The doctor said, the fingernails have grown back, and it 235 00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:11,640 Speaker 4: looks like the fingers are the exact right length that 236 00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:15,520 Speaker 4: was over twenty years ago. Still to this day, her 237 00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:19,959 Speaker 4: fingers look perfectly normal. And I'm not saying to deny reality, 238 00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:23,080 Speaker 4: but i am saying that God has the final say. 239 00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:27,880 Speaker 4: There are natural laws, but God is supernatural. He's not 240 00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:31,440 Speaker 4: limited by what limits us. When we believe, all things 241 00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:34,880 Speaker 4: are possible. But if this father would have had weak faith, 242 00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:39,080 Speaker 4: just my luck too bad for us, little faith, God 243 00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:40,440 Speaker 4: just help us make it through. 244 00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:42,520 Speaker 3: I don't think this would have happened. 245 00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:46,199 Speaker 4: When you have great faith, you will see the greatness 246 00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:50,400 Speaker 4: of our God. Sometimes we're not seeing favor and healing 247 00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:54,319 Speaker 4: and promotion, not because God is limited, but because our 248 00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:55,760 Speaker 4: faith is limiting him. 249 00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:57,079 Speaker 3: Jesus healed a. 250 00:12:57,000 --> 00:13:00,280 Speaker 4: Blind man one time in the scripture, and he said, according. 251 00:12:59,880 --> 00:13:03,080 Speaker 3: To your faith, be it done. Unto you wasn't. 252 00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:05,840 Speaker 4: According to God's faith, he can do anything. 253 00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:07,559 Speaker 3: It's according to our faith. 254 00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:11,080 Speaker 4: Where God is taking you, it's going to take more 255 00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:15,080 Speaker 4: than average faith. The amazing future he has in store, 256 00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:18,360 Speaker 4: the doors he's going to open, the favor you're going 257 00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:20,840 Speaker 4: to see, it won't happen with ordinary faith. 258 00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:24,040 Speaker 3: There will be dreams that are way too big for you. 259 00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:27,320 Speaker 4: There will be golias where you don't stand a chance, 260 00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:31,280 Speaker 4: times where it's way over your head, compact sinners. That's 261 00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:33,800 Speaker 4: when you have to be in Ezekiel and say God, 262 00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:37,560 Speaker 4: I know these dead bones can live. I know you 263 00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:40,440 Speaker 4: can defeat these enemies. I know your favor on my 264 00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:43,200 Speaker 4: life will take me where I can't go on my own. 265 00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:44,920 Speaker 3: Jesus told a. 266 00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:47,120 Speaker 4: Parable in the Book of Luke, and at the end 267 00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:50,600 Speaker 4: he asked this question, when I return, what. 268 00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:53,000 Speaker 3: Kind of faith will I find on the earth. 269 00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:56,360 Speaker 4: If God showed up at your house, what kind of 270 00:13:56,360 --> 00:14:01,080 Speaker 4: faith would he find? Small faith, weak faith, complet laning faith. 271 00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:03,280 Speaker 3: To all I used to believe, But he don't know 272 00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:06,400 Speaker 3: what's come against me. I had big dreams, but it's 273 00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:07,280 Speaker 3: been so long. 274 00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:10,120 Speaker 4: I don't see how I can get in college, how 275 00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:12,640 Speaker 4: I'll meet the right person, how I'll break the addiction 276 00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:16,080 Speaker 4: it's been in my family for years. That kind of 277 00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:18,640 Speaker 4: thinking is limiting what God can do. 278 00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:22,600 Speaker 3: Why don't you awaken your great faith. You don't have 279 00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:24,880 Speaker 3: to figure out how it's going to happen. All you 280 00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:26,200 Speaker 3: have to do is believe. 281 00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:30,920 Speaker 4: In the scripture, there was a Roman officer that was 282 00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:35,400 Speaker 4: very respected and influential. He was called a centurion, meaning 283 00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:37,200 Speaker 4: that he had one hundred men under him. 284 00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:39,280 Speaker 3: One of his servants. 285 00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:41,720 Speaker 4: Became very sick and close to death, and he was 286 00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:45,440 Speaker 4: so concerned. He heard that Jesus was in a nearby city, 287 00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:48,440 Speaker 4: and since he was a gentile, he found some of 288 00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:51,400 Speaker 4: his Jewish friends and asked them to go to Jesus 289 00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:53,960 Speaker 4: and see if he would come and pray for his servant. 290 00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:55,600 Speaker 3: Well, these Jewish. 291 00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:58,200 Speaker 4: Leaders, they went and pleaded with Jesus to come, and 292 00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:02,680 Speaker 4: Jesus agreed set out toward the man's house. But before 293 00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:07,440 Speaker 4: they arrived, this centurion sent another message. He said, Jesus, 294 00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:11,320 Speaker 4: don't trouble yourself coming to my home. I'm a man 295 00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:14,360 Speaker 4: of authority. When I say go, people go. When I 296 00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:17,880 Speaker 4: say come, they come. Just speak the word, and I 297 00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:21,520 Speaker 4: know my servant will be healed. When Jesus heard this 298 00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:24,000 Speaker 4: verse nine says he marveled. 299 00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:25,880 Speaker 3: He was so amazed. 300 00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:28,360 Speaker 4: He turned to the crowd and said, I have not 301 00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:32,640 Speaker 4: found this greater faith in all of Israel. Notice what 302 00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:36,360 Speaker 4: God calls great faith when you believe that he'll do 303 00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:39,960 Speaker 4: something out of the ordinary, when you take the limits off. 304 00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:43,120 Speaker 3: No one had ever told Jesus to just speak the word. 305 00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:46,680 Speaker 4: All they had seen is Jesus lay hands on people 306 00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:50,400 Speaker 4: and healed them. This officer was saying, I believe you 307 00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:54,200 Speaker 4: have so much power, so much favor, you don't even 308 00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:54,880 Speaker 4: need to come. 309 00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:58,960 Speaker 3: Just say it and it will happen. And what's significant 310 00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:03,440 Speaker 3: is this Durian wasn't even a follower of Christ. He 311 00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:04,440 Speaker 3: was a gentile. 312 00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:08,600 Speaker 4: But Jesus said he had more faith than the believers 313 00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:13,080 Speaker 4: that travel with Jesus. Having great faith is not about 314 00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:16,720 Speaker 4: being a religious scholar, how many scriptures you can quote, 315 00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:17,880 Speaker 4: how long you pray. 316 00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:20,560 Speaker 3: It's about believing that our God is. 317 00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:23,440 Speaker 4: All powerful, that he can make ways where you don't 318 00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:26,840 Speaker 4: see a way, that he can defeat your giants, that 319 00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:29,920 Speaker 4: he can open doors you can't open. There are only 320 00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:33,800 Speaker 4: two times in the scripture where God marveled. March chapter six, 321 00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:38,120 Speaker 4: Jesus was in his hometown of Nazareth, teaching in the synagogue. 322 00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:40,080 Speaker 3: They had heard about the miracles. 323 00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:43,560 Speaker 4: Word had spread about how Jesus was doing so much good, 324 00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:45,080 Speaker 4: but they didn't believe. 325 00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:48,080 Speaker 3: They thought, we know who he is. He grew up. 326 00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:52,280 Speaker 4: Here, there's nothing special about him. Because of their unbelief, 327 00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:55,880 Speaker 4: he couldn't do any mighty miracles there here he had 328 00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:59,040 Speaker 4: all this power. He'd gone to different cities do an 329 00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:02,480 Speaker 4: amazing things. You would think in his home city they 330 00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:04,200 Speaker 4: would believe more than anyone else. 331 00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:06,000 Speaker 3: It's just the opposite. 332 00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:11,520 Speaker 4: Verse six says Jesus marveled at their unbelief. One time 333 00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:14,520 Speaker 4: he marveled at the man's faith. The other time he 334 00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:18,560 Speaker 4: marveled at their unbelief. When God looks at you, what 335 00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:19,600 Speaker 4: is he marvel at? 336 00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:20,560 Speaker 3: Joel? 337 00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:23,200 Speaker 4: This opposition is so strong, I don't see how I 338 00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:24,000 Speaker 4: can get ahead. 339 00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:26,840 Speaker 3: These people have done me wrong. Don't ZiT that up. 340 00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:30,600 Speaker 4: Let's be people that cause God to marvel over our 341 00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:34,119 Speaker 4: faith and not over our doubt. People that believe big, 342 00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:37,440 Speaker 4: people that take the limits off of him. Now, I 343 00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:41,480 Speaker 4: love how this centurion who didn't even worship Jehovah, who 344 00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:45,160 Speaker 4: wasn't even a believer, yet he knew how awesome our 345 00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:45,720 Speaker 4: God is. 346 00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:49,560 Speaker 3: He had this understanding that this man carries. 347 00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:55,160 Speaker 4: Power, favor, healing authority that is unmatched. Jesus didn't say 348 00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:57,600 Speaker 4: to him, who do you think you are? You don't 349 00:17:57,600 --> 00:18:00,639 Speaker 4: even follow me. You have a lot of nerve asking 350 00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:03,880 Speaker 4: me for something that I've never done. Oh, Jesus said, 351 00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:05,840 Speaker 4: in effect, your faith. 352 00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:06,600 Speaker 3: Is at another level. 353 00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:11,120 Speaker 4: I've seen weak faith, little faith, average faith. But I've 354 00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:12,800 Speaker 4: never seen faith like yours. 355 00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:14,000 Speaker 3: You have great faith. 356 00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:18,960 Speaker 4: God is not faulting you for believing big, for asking 357 00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:21,720 Speaker 4: for your dreams for what seems impossible. 358 00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:24,159 Speaker 3: That's what God calls great faith. 359 00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:28,440 Speaker 4: Like this centurion, you're showing God that you believe how 360 00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:31,840 Speaker 4: powerful he is. The enemy would love for you to 361 00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:35,480 Speaker 4: live with comfortable faith, faith in a box, faith for 362 00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:39,040 Speaker 4: what you've seen in the past. To reach your destiny, 363 00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:42,159 Speaker 4: you have to break out of that box. Is there 364 00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:45,600 Speaker 4: anything you're believing for that will cause God to marvel? 365 00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:49,359 Speaker 4: So anything you're dreaming about that's out of your reach 366 00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:53,160 Speaker 4: that you can accomplish, that's too big, too much, too hard. 367 00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:57,760 Speaker 3: It's time to awaken your faith. Dare to believe bigger. 368 00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:02,879 Speaker 4: Dare to ask something that causes God to be amazed, 369 00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:06,439 Speaker 4: not just to believe. To pay your bills each month, No, 370 00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:10,280 Speaker 4: great faith, says God, Give me overflow, Give me an 371 00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:14,280 Speaker 4: abundance so I can help pay somebody else's bills. Not 372 00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:19,560 Speaker 4: just let me endure this sickness, let me manage this depression. No, Lord, 373 00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:22,400 Speaker 4: thank you that I'm totally free, thank you that I'm 374 00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:25,719 Speaker 4: completely well, that I will run and not be wearing. 375 00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:29,359 Speaker 4: Not just make it through another year, God, help me 376 00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:29,960 Speaker 4: to survive. 377 00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:32,639 Speaker 3: No, Lord, thank you. Twenty twenty two will be a 378 00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:33,600 Speaker 3: bountiful year. 379 00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:37,199 Speaker 4: That doors are opening that I couldn't open, That my 380 00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:39,919 Speaker 4: talent's coming out in new ways, that I'll set a 381 00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:44,359 Speaker 4: new standard for my family. Whatever level your faith is at, 382 00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:45,240 Speaker 4: it's time to. 383 00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:49,480 Speaker 3: Step it up. Believe bigger. God's doing a new thing. 384 00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:53,399 Speaker 3: But it's not going to happen with comfortable faith, lazy faith, 385 00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:57,720 Speaker 3: limited faith. God's looking for great faith. There was a 386 00:19:57,800 --> 00:19:58,280 Speaker 3: lady in. 387 00:19:58,240 --> 00:20:01,800 Speaker 4: The scripture that had a bleed eating disorder for twelve years, 388 00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:05,240 Speaker 4: and she went to the best doctors, took the best treatment, but. 389 00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:08,000 Speaker 3: None of that helped. She continued to get worse. 390 00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:11,280 Speaker 4: She could have accepted and thought, it's not meant to 391 00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:14,919 Speaker 4: be tried my best. But one day she heard that 392 00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:18,280 Speaker 4: Jesus was passing through her town and something rose up 393 00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:19,520 Speaker 4: on the inside. 394 00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:22,439 Speaker 3: It said to her, this is your time, this is 395 00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:25,240 Speaker 3: your moment. This sickness is not your destiny. 396 00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:29,239 Speaker 4: Maybe she's heard how Jesus had healed the man with 397 00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:32,400 Speaker 4: the withered hand, or how he caused that and paralyzed 398 00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:34,760 Speaker 4: man to walk, or how he had freed. 399 00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:36,440 Speaker 3: That man that was chained in the tombs. 400 00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:41,240 Speaker 4: Something happened to where her great faith was awakened. She'd 401 00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:45,240 Speaker 4: had average faith making it despite the trouble in enduring 402 00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:48,199 Speaker 4: the illness, but she could sense that this was a 403 00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:52,080 Speaker 4: new day. She left her house that morning, determined to 404 00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:55,600 Speaker 4: get to Jesus. Was so crowded. She had to push 405 00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:59,240 Speaker 4: through people. Pushed through doubt, it's not going to happen, 406 00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:00,760 Speaker 4: put through her. 407 00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:04,240 Speaker 3: Past, you tried and it didn't work out. Pushed through fear, 408 00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:05,680 Speaker 3: what if he gets upset? 409 00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:10,320 Speaker 4: Despite all the opposition, she kept making her way to Jesus. 410 00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:13,800 Speaker 3: Excuse me, I need to get through. Pardon me. I 411 00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:15,800 Speaker 3: don't mean to be rude, but move out of my way. 412 00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:16,840 Speaker 3: I'm on a mission. 413 00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:21,639 Speaker 4: She was weak, her blood count was low, Thoughts telling 414 00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:24,560 Speaker 4: her is never going to happen, but she kept saying 415 00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:26,400 Speaker 4: to herself, when I get to. 416 00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:31,160 Speaker 3: Jesus, I will be healed. She could have been at home, discouraged, 417 00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:35,760 Speaker 3: thinking I'll never get better with comfortable faith, lazy faith. 418 00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:38,440 Speaker 3: But she did what I'm asking us to do. 419 00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:43,040 Speaker 4: She tapped into her great faith and yes to believe bigger. 420 00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:46,800 Speaker 4: It's going to cost you something. It's easy to stay comfortable. 421 00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:50,680 Speaker 4: It's easy to live average, but you can't become who 422 00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:53,080 Speaker 4: you were created to be with average faith. 423 00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:55,240 Speaker 3: God's looking for great faith. 424 00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:58,720 Speaker 4: He's looking for people that will cause him to marvel, 425 00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:02,200 Speaker 4: to say, Wow, look at what they believe I can do. 426 00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:06,760 Speaker 4: They believe they can get well despite the diagnosis. They 427 00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:09,919 Speaker 4: believe they can have a blessed year despite the pandemic. 428 00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:13,199 Speaker 3: They believe that I'll give them a compact center, that 429 00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:15,880 Speaker 3: they can start their own business, that their family will 430 00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:21,639 Speaker 3: be restored. Great faith gets God's attention. This lady finally 431 00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:24,000 Speaker 3: made it to Jesus, just to the nick of time. 432 00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:26,879 Speaker 3: She reached out and touched the hem of his robe. 433 00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:28,879 Speaker 3: Instantly she was healed. 434 00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:33,359 Speaker 4: Jesus stopped and said to his disciples, who just touched me? 435 00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:36,560 Speaker 3: They said, what do you mean everybody's touching you? It's 436 00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:37,600 Speaker 3: crowded around here. 437 00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:41,639 Speaker 4: No, he said, someone touched me with such faith that 438 00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:42,440 Speaker 4: it drew the. 439 00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:44,639 Speaker 3: Miracle working power right out of me. 440 00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:50,639 Speaker 4: About that time his eyes met this woman's eyes. He 441 00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:53,040 Speaker 4: didn't say, lady, why'd you do that? Why don't you 442 00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:55,760 Speaker 4: wait your turn? Takes a lot of nerve for you 443 00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:56,920 Speaker 4: calling on me like that. 444 00:22:57,240 --> 00:22:58,320 Speaker 3: No, he was amazed. 445 00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:02,679 Speaker 4: He said, daughter, your faith has made you whole. He 446 00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:05,719 Speaker 4: was saying, was it my faith? I didn't even see you, 447 00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:09,480 Speaker 4: but you had such great faith. You believed in who 448 00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:12,440 Speaker 4: I am in such a great way that you caused this. 449 00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:15,040 Speaker 3: Miracle to happen. There were a lot of people. 450 00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:17,560 Speaker 4: Bumping into Jesus, but she was the only one that 451 00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:22,720 Speaker 4: touched him. Many others needed healing, breakthroughs favor. The mistake 452 00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:26,919 Speaker 4: they made is they didn't awaken their great faith. Are 453 00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:30,720 Speaker 4: their blessings you're missing because you're living with comfortable faith, 454 00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:35,480 Speaker 4: not stretching is their favor. You're not seeing promotion, new 455 00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:38,480 Speaker 4: relationships because you have lazy. 456 00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:41,760 Speaker 3: Faith, small faith, weak faith. Well, Joel, if I go 457 00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:42,920 Speaker 3: through that crowd. 458 00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:45,160 Speaker 4: So to speak, I know I'm not going to get healed. 459 00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:49,480 Speaker 4: Nothing good ever happens to me. My family's always struggled. 460 00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:52,560 Speaker 4: I wasn't raised in a good environment. None of that 461 00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:56,240 Speaker 4: has to stop you. God knows what you didn't get. 462 00:23:56,800 --> 00:23:59,040 Speaker 4: He's not going to leave your life in a deficit. 463 00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:03,040 Speaker 4: Put something down in you. He's just waiting for you 464 00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:06,439 Speaker 4: to wake it up. It's called great faith. It's faith 465 00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:07,960 Speaker 4: that causes him to marvel. 466 00:24:08,840 --> 00:24:11,840 Speaker 3: It's when you do like this woman. You press past 467 00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:16,119 Speaker 3: the doubt, the naysayers, the past, the failures, and you 468 00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:20,440 Speaker 3: believe for what seems impossible. Believe for your dreams. 469 00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:24,360 Speaker 4: Believe that the dead bones can live. Believe you can 470 00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:28,120 Speaker 4: accomplish what others say is no way. Believe that your 471 00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:32,119 Speaker 4: children will leave their mark. This won't happen with average faith. 472 00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:35,280 Speaker 4: The good news is that's not you. I'm talking to 473 00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:38,640 Speaker 4: people with great faith. Now do your part and wake 474 00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:43,160 Speaker 4: it up. You haven't seen, heard, or imagined what God 475 00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:46,680 Speaker 4: has in store for you. The time we're living in, 476 00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:50,760 Speaker 4: you are needed more than ever. The prophet Joel said, 477 00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:54,280 Speaker 4: wake up the mighty men, Wake up the mighty women. 478 00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:58,080 Speaker 4: God is counting on you to make a difference, to 479 00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:01,920 Speaker 4: be a blessing, to shine rightly, to set new standards. 480 00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:03,800 Speaker 3: It's going to take people who are. 481 00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:06,440 Speaker 4: Bold, who will stretch, who will get out of their 482 00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:10,320 Speaker 4: comfort zones. When Jesus was on the earth, he did 483 00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:13,639 Speaker 4: so many amazing things, but he said in John fourteen, 484 00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:16,280 Speaker 4: greater works than these shall you do. 485 00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:21,359 Speaker 3: Greater works is going to require great faith. I know 486 00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:23,760 Speaker 3: sometimes we think I don't have that much faith. Yes, 487 00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:26,680 Speaker 3: it's in you. You just have to make this decision 488 00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:30,080 Speaker 3: to believe, not so much believe in what you can do, 489 00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:34,240 Speaker 3: but believe in what God can do through you. On 490 00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:35,000 Speaker 3: your own, you. 491 00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:38,840 Speaker 4: May be limited, you don't have the qualifications, the resources. 492 00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:42,600 Speaker 4: That's okay, You're not on your own. You and God 493 00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:46,240 Speaker 4: are a majority. When He breathes on your life, dead 494 00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:50,320 Speaker 4: bones will live. You'll go places you've never dreamed. You'll 495 00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:53,920 Speaker 4: discover talent that you didn't know you had. Doors will 496 00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:56,960 Speaker 4: open you never thought would open. The right people will 497 00:25:57,000 --> 00:26:00,280 Speaker 4: suddenly show up. If you'll do your part and have 498 00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:03,600 Speaker 4: great faith, God will do his part and show out 499 00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:07,040 Speaker 4: in your life. Friend of mine is a medical doctor 500 00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:09,520 Speaker 4: and he was driving home from work when he saw 501 00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:12,520 Speaker 4: this accident on the freeway and it had just happened 502 00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:15,640 Speaker 4: a few minutes earlier. They had this young man covered 503 00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:18,240 Speaker 4: with a sheet. My friend told them that he was 504 00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:20,840 Speaker 4: a doctor and asked if there's anything he could do, 505 00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:24,200 Speaker 4: and they explained they had done CPR and tried everything, 506 00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:27,760 Speaker 4: but no response. And my friend at that time wasn't 507 00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:32,080 Speaker 4: necessarily a strong believer, but he remembered the scripture that 508 00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:33,280 Speaker 4: you can lay hands on. 509 00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:34,840 Speaker 3: The sick and they will recover. 510 00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:39,640 Speaker 4: Medically speaking, he couldn't do anything, but he gently placed 511 00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:42,960 Speaker 4: his hands on the young man's chest. Under his breath, 512 00:26:42,960 --> 00:26:46,520 Speaker 4: he whispered, God, I'm asking you to let life come 513 00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:47,520 Speaker 4: back into this body. 514 00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:50,440 Speaker 3: Stayed there a minute or two, nothing happened. 515 00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:52,919 Speaker 4: He turned around and went back to his car, and 516 00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:56,199 Speaker 4: all of a sudden, there was this huge commotion. The 517 00:26:56,320 --> 00:27:00,119 Speaker 4: young man woke up. He started breathing again. Every every 518 00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:03,040 Speaker 4: one was in awe. They asked the doctor, what did 519 00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:06,240 Speaker 4: you do to him? He said, all I did was praying. 520 00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:10,200 Speaker 4: That's one of those greater words. That's what God wants 521 00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:13,960 Speaker 4: to do for you.
