He was visiting churches across the nation. 34 00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:47,440 Speaker 3: While in the Northeast, he saw this gold phone on 35 00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:51,120 Speaker 3: the wall with a sign that said calls ten thousand 36 00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:54,320 Speaker 3: dollars per minute. He asked the pastor what it meant. 37 00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:57,440 Speaker 3: The pastor explained that that was a direct line to Heaven. 38 00:01:57,920 --> 00:01:59,960 Speaker 3: If you were willing to pay the price, you can 39 00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:04,000 Speaker 3: talk directly to God. He continued visiting different churches, saw 40 00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:07,400 Speaker 3: the same gold phone the same sign. When he finally 41 00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:10,520 Speaker 3: made it to Texas, he saw the phone, but the 42 00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:14,880 Speaker 3: sign said calls twenty five cents per minute. Intrigued, he 43 00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:17,480 Speaker 3: asked the pastor why it was so much cheaper. The 44 00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:20,680 Speaker 3: pastor said, you're in Texas now, it's a local call. 45 00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:26,080 Speaker 3: Say it like you mean it. This is my Bible. 46 00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:28,960 Speaker 3: I am what it says I am. I have what 47 00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:31,360 Speaker 3: it says I have. I can do what it says 48 00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:34,200 Speaker 3: I can do. Today I will be taught the word 49 00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:38,160 Speaker 3: of God. I boldly confess. My mind is alert, my 50 00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:42,520 Speaker 3: heart is receptive. I will never be the same. In Jesus' name, 51 00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:46,120 Speaker 3: God bless you. I want to talk to you today 52 00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:50,160 Speaker 3: about your faith. In Mark chapter five, there was a 53 00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:53,760 Speaker 3: lady that had a bleeding disorder. For twelve years. She 54 00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:57,360 Speaker 3: gone to many doctors, spent all of her money, tried 55 00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:01,640 Speaker 3: everything she could to get well and help. She continued 56 00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:04,880 Speaker 3: to go downhill. One day there was all this commotion 57 00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:08,959 Speaker 3: in her town. She found out that Jesus was passing through. 58 00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:12,280 Speaker 3: She had heard the stories of how he had healed 59 00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:15,480 Speaker 3: a crippled man, how he'd opened blind eyes, how he'd 60 00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:20,280 Speaker 3: cured someone with leprosy. Something came alive on the inside. 61 00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:23,280 Speaker 3: She thought, he did it for others, he can do 62 00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:27,680 Speaker 3: it for me. She could have been discouraged complaining life 63 00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:32,040 Speaker 3: is not fair, why did this happen? Instead, she said 64 00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:35,880 Speaker 3: to herself, if I can get to Jesus and just 65 00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:39,240 Speaker 3: touch the fringe of his robe, I know I will 66 00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:43,040 Speaker 3: be healed. The problem was there was a great crowd 67 00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:48,400 Speaker 3: surrounding Jesus. Thousands of people all packed in seemed impossible. 68 00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:51,320 Speaker 3: Most people would have given up, thought, hey, it's not 69 00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:54,920 Speaker 3: meant to be. Not this lady. She started making her 70 00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:58,480 Speaker 3: way through the crowd. Excuse me, I need to get by. 71 00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:01,880 Speaker 3: Pardon me, I have to get up front. I don't 72 00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:03,880 Speaker 3: mean to be rude, but move out of my way. 73 00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:07,200 Speaker 3: People looked at her like, what's this lady's problem? She 74 00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:10,400 Speaker 3: was on a mission, she had a made up mind. 75 00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:13,920 Speaker 3: I'm sure she was weak. She had lost blood for years. 76 00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:17,280 Speaker 3: She didn't feel like it, but she fought her way 77 00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:22,080 Speaker 3: through the crowd. One version said she kept saying to herself, 78 00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:25,680 Speaker 3: when I get to Jesus, I know I will be well. 79 00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:29,760 Speaker 3: She was saying, I know healing is coming. I know 80 00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:33,800 Speaker 3: things are turning in my favor. It's tough now, I'm tired, 81 00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:36,920 Speaker 3: I'm weak, but I know I'm close to my breakthrough. 82 00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:40,560 Speaker 3: The reason she could keep going is she kept the 83 00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:44,640 Speaker 3: right thoughts playing in her mind. I can imagine she 84 00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:48,080 Speaker 3: was so exhausted she finally fell to the ground and 85 00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:51,640 Speaker 3: had to crawl the last few feet. Just at the 86 00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:55,000 Speaker 3: right time, she reached out and touched the edge of 87 00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:59,279 Speaker 3: Jesus Road. All of a sudden, Jesus stopped, said to 88 00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:03,040 Speaker 3: his disciple, who just touched me? They said, what do 89 00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:06,960 Speaker 3: you mean, it's crowded out here. Everybody's touching you? He said, 90 00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:10,359 Speaker 3: in a fact, no, everyone may be bumping into me, 91 00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:15,320 Speaker 3: but somebody just touched me. Somebody drew the miracle working 92 00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:19,360 Speaker 3: power out of me. They believed healing was coming. They 93 00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:22,440 Speaker 3: believed their child was going to turn around. They believed 94 00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:26,520 Speaker 3: new doors were going to open. They touched me with expectancy. 95 00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:31,520 Speaker 3: About that time, Jesus looked at this woman. Their eyes met. 96 00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:35,919 Speaker 3: She was afraid, thought she'd done something wrong. Jesus smiled 97 00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:39,800 Speaker 3: and said, daughter, your faith has made you whole. Go 98 00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:44,560 Speaker 3: in peace. You were healed. Notice the key was her faith. 99 00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:47,880 Speaker 3: It was great that her parents were praying, her friends 100 00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:50,680 Speaker 3: were encouraging her, her neighbors were cheering her on. That's 101 00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:55,240 Speaker 3: all good, but there's nothing more powerful than your faith. 102 00:05:55,880 --> 00:06:00,240 Speaker 3: When you believe, when you expect things to change when 103 00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:04,040 Speaker 3: you keep saying to yourself, I know the breakthrough is coming, 104 00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:07,039 Speaker 3: I know healing is on the way. I know the 105 00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:09,840 Speaker 3: right person is in my future. I know what God 106 00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:13,720 Speaker 3: started he's going to finish. Your faith can stop the 107 00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:18,440 Speaker 3: creator of the universe. That's what activates his power. There 108 00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:21,440 Speaker 3: were other people in the crowd that day that were sent, 109 00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:26,200 Speaker 3: many people that had needs, no doubt. They bumped into Jesus. 110 00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:30,800 Speaker 3: Nothing happened, but this lady touched him. Are you brushing 111 00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:34,400 Speaker 3: up against him or are you touching him? Are you 112 00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:38,560 Speaker 3: living with expectancy knowing that He's bigger than those problems, 113 00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:42,839 Speaker 3: greater than that sickness, more powerful than that opposition. Or 114 00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:46,680 Speaker 3: have you become discouraged thinking it's never going to change. 115 00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:51,520 Speaker 3: God is passing by. He has all power. Don't just 116 00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:55,279 Speaker 3: brush up against him. Don't be passive and think you 117 00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:58,680 Speaker 3: could never accomplish your dreams, never meet the right person, 118 00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:02,520 Speaker 3: never start your bis. Do like this lady, reach out 119 00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:06,520 Speaker 3: and touch him, release your faith. Believe that it will happen. 120 00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:10,920 Speaker 3: This lady was closest to her miracle when she faced 121 00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:14,680 Speaker 3: the greatest opposition. Would have been easy if Jesus would 122 00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:18,000 Speaker 3: have come just a few disciples, she could have gone 123 00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:21,600 Speaker 3: out and touched him without the struggle, without all the 124 00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:24,640 Speaker 3: people in the way, But she had to fight through 125 00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:29,720 Speaker 3: the crowd. The crowd represents broken dreams, things that didn't 126 00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:32,840 Speaker 3: work out, thoughts telling it it's never going to get better, 127 00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:36,840 Speaker 3: you'll never get well, never break the addiction. The crowd 128 00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:40,760 Speaker 3: can be negative words people have spoken over us. You're 129 00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:44,640 Speaker 3: not that talented. You can't accomplish your dreams. If you're 130 00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:47,800 Speaker 3: going to reach your potential, you have to fight through 131 00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:51,800 Speaker 3: some things. You can't have a week give up. This 132 00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:55,360 Speaker 3: is too hard. Spirit. You have to be more determined 133 00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:58,920 Speaker 3: than what's trying to stop you. You may get knocked down, 134 00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:01,840 Speaker 3: but you have to get back up again. You need 135 00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:05,280 Speaker 3: to have a made up mind. This disappointment is not 136 00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:08,120 Speaker 3: going to stop me. I'm not going to let the 137 00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:11,840 Speaker 3: mistakes I've made, the guilt, the regrets caused me to 138 00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:15,360 Speaker 3: shrink back. I'm not going to allow the bad breaks, 139 00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:18,720 Speaker 3: the people that did me wrong, the rejection, the betrayal 140 00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:22,040 Speaker 3: caused me to get bitter and stay where I am. 141 00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:25,720 Speaker 3: I'm going to fight through the crowd. Many of the 142 00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:29,960 Speaker 3: miracles Jesus performed, he laid his hands on people and 143 00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:34,200 Speaker 3: they were healed. But in this case, Jesus didn't lay 144 00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:37,760 Speaker 3: hands on the woman. The woman laid hands on Jesus. 145 00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:41,320 Speaker 3: Are you waiting for God to lay hands on you? 146 00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:44,679 Speaker 3: So to speak, God, this problem is so big. When 147 00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:47,040 Speaker 3: are you gonna do something about it? Why don't you 148 00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:51,440 Speaker 3: lay hands on him? Instead of complaining about the problem. Lord, 149 00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:53,800 Speaker 3: I want to thank you that things are turning in 150 00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:56,880 Speaker 3: my favor. Thank you that no weapon formed against me 151 00:08:56,920 --> 00:09:00,120 Speaker 3: will prosper. Lord, thank you that you hold victory in 152 00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:02,920 Speaker 3: store for the upright. I don't see a way, but Lord, 153 00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:05,160 Speaker 3: I want to thank you. I know you have a way. 154 00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:09,320 Speaker 3: When you do that, you're laying hands on God. Your 155 00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:12,880 Speaker 3: faith can initiate the healing. Your faith can be the 156 00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:17,320 Speaker 3: catalyst for God to do amazing things. Acts Chapter fourteen. 157 00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:21,760 Speaker 3: The apostle Paul was teaching people. He noticed a crippled 158 00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:24,760 Speaker 3: man in the crowd. He'd been that way since birth 159 00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:29,560 Speaker 3: and never walked. Verse nine says Paul realized the man 160 00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:33,240 Speaker 3: had faith to be healed. Here the man was just 161 00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:37,080 Speaker 3: sitting in the audience listening to Paul, but he must 162 00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:41,480 Speaker 3: have had such anticipation on his face. Paul must have 163 00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:46,600 Speaker 3: seen something in his expression and expectancy that something good 164 00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:49,360 Speaker 3: was going to happen, like a little child at a 165 00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:53,840 Speaker 3: candy store. Paul was so impressed he stopped his message 166 00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:57,440 Speaker 3: and said, sir, I can see you're ready for your miracles. 167 00:09:57,520 --> 00:10:01,560 Speaker 3: Stand up. The man stood up and instantly he was healed, 168 00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:05,240 Speaker 3: begin to walk for the first time. Like that man, 169 00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:09,880 Speaker 3: we should live with this anticipation that something good is 170 00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:13,920 Speaker 3: going to happen. Yes, we've all had difficulties, we all 171 00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:17,240 Speaker 3: have a reason to be sour. Don't let that talk 172 00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:20,439 Speaker 3: you out of what God has in store. You wouldn't 173 00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:23,840 Speaker 3: be alive if there wasn't something amazing in your future. 174 00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:28,600 Speaker 3: Can your faith be seen? Can anyone notice that you're 175 00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:31,560 Speaker 3: expecting to go to a new level? Are you talking 176 00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:34,360 Speaker 3: like it's going to happen, Thinking like it's going to happen, 177 00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:38,319 Speaker 3: Believing like it's going to happen. God is passing by. 178 00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:42,080 Speaker 3: But if you're negative, I don't see how to work out. 179 00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:44,880 Speaker 3: I never get any good breaks. I've been in this 180 00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:48,360 Speaker 3: way a long time. You may brush up against him, 181 00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:51,480 Speaker 3: but you're not going to touch him. You have to 182 00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:55,920 Speaker 3: show God you're ready to be healed, ready to be free, 183 00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:59,280 Speaker 3: Ready to be blessed, there should be an expectancy. It 184 00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:02,720 Speaker 3: could happen to day. You could meet the person of 185 00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:06,520 Speaker 3: your dreams. This week. You could see your health turn 186 00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:10,880 Speaker 3: around this month. This year could be your year to 187 00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:13,840 Speaker 3: go to a new level where things fall into place, 188 00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:18,120 Speaker 3: Good breaks find you. Promises you've been believing for suddenly 189 00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:21,240 Speaker 3: come to pass. Well, Joe, what if I believe for 190 00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:24,040 Speaker 3: it and it doesn't happen. What if you believe for 191 00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:28,560 Speaker 3: it and it does happen. When you live with expectancy, 192 00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:32,640 Speaker 3: where your faith can be seen in your expressions, in 193 00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:36,079 Speaker 3: your attitude and how you talk, that's going to cause 194 00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:39,400 Speaker 3: God to notice you in a new way. God is 195 00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:41,960 Speaker 3: always with us, he has us in the palm of 196 00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:46,120 Speaker 3: his hand, but faith is what gets his attention. The 197 00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:50,960 Speaker 3: scripture says it is impossible to please God without faith. 198 00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:55,520 Speaker 3: That's a powerful statement. That means you can be obedient 199 00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:59,640 Speaker 3: and have a sour attitude and limited vision and not 200 00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:04,200 Speaker 3: please God. You can give, serve, feed the poor, and 201 00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:07,360 Speaker 3: that's all important. We should do that. But if you're 202 00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:11,040 Speaker 3: not believing for things bigger than you can accomplish on 203 00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:14,920 Speaker 3: your own, if you're not expecting difficulties to turn around, 204 00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:19,439 Speaker 3: If you're not anticipating new levels, thanking God that he's 205 00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:23,760 Speaker 3: bringing promises to pass, then you're not releasing your faith. 206 00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:27,000 Speaker 3: You have to stir up what God put in you 207 00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:31,040 Speaker 3: he's passing by. Don't just sit back and watch. Well. 208 00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:33,880 Speaker 3: I wish I could break the addiction. I wish I 209 00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:36,640 Speaker 3: could accomplish my dreams. Why don't you reach out and 210 00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:39,520 Speaker 3: touch him? Lord, I want to thank you that you're 211 00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:42,400 Speaker 3: opening doors no man can shut. Thank you that you're 212 00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:45,040 Speaker 3: taking me where I could not go on my own. Lord. 213 00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:48,240 Speaker 3: I believe healing is on the way. Freedom is on 214 00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:51,160 Speaker 3: the way, the right person is on the way, Abundance 215 00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:54,439 Speaker 3: is on the way. That's how we touch God today 216 00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:58,280 Speaker 3: with our faith. Well, Joel, I'm waiting for God to 217 00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:02,720 Speaker 3: do something. Maybe God is waiting on you. This lady 218 00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:05,600 Speaker 3: didn't wait for Jesus to lay hands on her. She 219 00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:09,560 Speaker 3: laid hands on him. And I realize God has a 220 00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:14,559 Speaker 3: perfect time. But the scripture says now, faith is faith 221 00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:19,079 Speaker 3: is always in the present, and things may not instantly change. 222 00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:24,120 Speaker 3: We all have waiting periods, but our faith should stay active. 223 00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:28,640 Speaker 3: Our normal attitude should be Lord, I'm looking for your goodness, 224 00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:32,040 Speaker 3: not next week, not next month, not next year. I'm 225 00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:35,680 Speaker 3: looking for it today. Stay in the now, live with 226 00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:40,440 Speaker 3: the anticipation that it could happen today. For several years, 227 00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:43,680 Speaker 3: there's been something I've been believing for ways that we 228 00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:46,920 Speaker 3: can expand the ministry. Every day I did what I'm 229 00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:49,160 Speaker 3: asking you to do. Lord. I thank you that it's 230 00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:51,640 Speaker 3: on the way. I think you that you're making things 231 00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:55,080 Speaker 3: happen that I couldn't make happen. Didn't see any sign 232 00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:58,400 Speaker 3: of it, but each morning I went out with expectancy, 233 00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:01,800 Speaker 3: looking for God's goodness, knowing it could happen at any moment. 234 00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:05,720 Speaker 3: This went on month after month, even year after year, 235 00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:09,960 Speaker 3: no sign. How badly do you want it? The lady 236 00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:13,719 Speaker 3: in the scripture waited twelve years, but she wanted it 237 00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:17,960 Speaker 3: so badly she fought through the crowd. Every voice said 238 00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:21,160 Speaker 3: to her stay home. It's too much trouble and so 239 00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:25,160 Speaker 3: much opposition. Her attitude was, I've come too far to 240 00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:29,040 Speaker 3: stop now. I may be tired, i may be uncomfortable, 241 00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:32,680 Speaker 3: but I'm gonna get to Jesus. When God sees you 242 00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:37,520 Speaker 3: doing what you can, believing when there's no sign, thanking 243 00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:42,080 Speaker 3: Him when you're weak, taking steps of faith when you're uncomfortable. 244 00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:46,400 Speaker 3: God will give you strength that goes beyond your natural ability. 245 00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:49,240 Speaker 3: He'll help you do what you couldn't do on your own. 246 00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:55,000 Speaker 3: I just kept believing, day after day, thanking God. Last week, 247 00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:59,240 Speaker 3: on Monday, something happened that I've been believing for for 248 00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:03,680 Speaker 3: over three years. I was so grateful. Then Tuesday morning, 249 00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:08,200 Speaker 3: something even more amazing happened. I couldn't believe it. If 250 00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:12,240 Speaker 3: that wasn't enough. Tuesday evening, something bigger than the first 251 00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:17,360 Speaker 3: two combine, more than I can imagine, happened. It was 252 00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:21,640 Speaker 3: like rapid fire, boom boom, boom, a flood of God's favor. 253 00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:24,920 Speaker 3: That's the way God is. When you stay in faith, 254 00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:29,800 Speaker 3: you consistently thank Him even when there's no sign, you 255 00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:34,240 Speaker 3: will come into these suddenlies where God not only surprises 256 00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:37,520 Speaker 3: you you didn't see it coming, but it will exceed 257 00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:41,560 Speaker 3: your expectation. The scripture talks about how God will do 258 00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:44,600 Speaker 3: things that will cause our head to spind. My head 259 00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:49,480 Speaker 3: was spinning that night. Maybe you've been praying, believing, expecting 260 00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:53,840 Speaker 3: for a long time. Stay encouraged. It's on the way. 261 00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:57,240 Speaker 3: You are closer than you think. It's going to happen, 262 00:15:57,400 --> 00:16:01,040 Speaker 3: sooner than it looks. There's no sign of things improving. 263 00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:05,800 Speaker 3: Everything looks the same. Get ready. God is full of surprises. 264 00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:10,160 Speaker 3: He doesn't always do things in a normal way where 265 00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:13,880 Speaker 3: it gradually gets better. He'll do them suddenly, out of 266 00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:18,000 Speaker 3: the ordinary. You didn't see it coming. It's because day 267 00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:21,680 Speaker 3: after day wee kept a week. You kept touching him, 268 00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:25,000 Speaker 3: you kept expecting him, you kept thanking him. It was 269 00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:27,600 Speaker 3: on the way. You kept talking like it was going 270 00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:30,520 Speaker 3: to happen. Your faith is going to make you whole. 271 00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:34,400 Speaker 3: Your faith is going to break the addiction. Your faith 272 00:16:34,480 --> 00:16:36,960 Speaker 3: is going to bring you out of debt. Your faith 273 00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:39,840 Speaker 3: is going to help you accomplish your God given dreams. 274 00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:44,480 Speaker 3: Talked to a lady that started having problems with her legs. 275 00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:48,960 Speaker 3: Her muscles and joints were causing her such pain got 276 00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:52,000 Speaker 3: to the point where she couldn't walk. All the doctors 277 00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:55,240 Speaker 3: could do was give her medicine for the pain. For 278 00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:58,440 Speaker 3: several months, she couldn't go to work, she couldn't stand up. 279 00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:00,680 Speaker 3: She had to stay at home off for her feet, 280 00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:03,800 Speaker 3: and the prognosis didn't look good. She didn't know if 281 00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:07,760 Speaker 3: she would ever walk again. One Saturday evening, she and 282 00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:11,840 Speaker 3: her husband were watching our Services online at the end, 283 00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:15,960 Speaker 3: I always ask people to stand to receive Christ. Well, 284 00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:19,040 Speaker 3: her husband stood up right there in the living room. 285 00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:22,800 Speaker 3: She smiled and was pleasantly surprised. He looked at her 286 00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:25,679 Speaker 3: and said, come on, honey, stand up with me. She 287 00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:27,560 Speaker 3: was kind of confused, said what do you mean. You 288 00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:30,560 Speaker 3: know I can't stand. He said, sure you can. Took 289 00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:33,119 Speaker 3: her by the hands and he helped her up. He 290 00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:37,200 Speaker 3: held her while we were praying. I can imagine God 291 00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:41,400 Speaker 3: seeing her there standing in great pain, being held by 292 00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:45,040 Speaker 3: her husband, but determined to take a step of faith. 293 00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:49,600 Speaker 3: I said, at the end, write this day down. It's 294 00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:52,800 Speaker 3: going to be a new day of victory. That seed 295 00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:55,840 Speaker 3: took root in her heart. She believed it was a 296 00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:59,080 Speaker 3: new day. In a few minutes, while she was sitting 297 00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:02,280 Speaker 3: on the couch, she felt the bones in her legs 298 00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:05,840 Speaker 3: begin to pomp and crack and her muscles begin to move. 299 00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:09,880 Speaker 3: She said, I can't explain it, but something unusual was happening. 300 00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:13,800 Speaker 3: Strength began to come back into her legs. Suddenly all 301 00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:19,439 Speaker 3: that pain was gone. Her husband had fallen asleep. She 302 00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:23,639 Speaker 3: stood up and walked into the bedroom. He couldn't believe it. 303 00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:26,560 Speaker 3: The next morning, they both got up and went to church. 304 00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:29,400 Speaker 3: She said, Jeel, I don't know what happened, but I've 305 00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:31,280 Speaker 3: been walking normal ever since then. 306 00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:33,720 Speaker 5: What was that? 307 00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:38,760 Speaker 3: Her faith made her home? Just like that lady fought 308 00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:42,400 Speaker 3: her way through the crowd. When God sees you releasing 309 00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:46,720 Speaker 3: your faith, it gets his attention. That's what activates his power. 310 00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:50,399 Speaker 3: She could have been discouraged, told her husband, don't bother me. 311 00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:53,280 Speaker 3: You know, I can't stand up, But as an act 312 00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:56,560 Speaker 3: of faith, even though he had to hold her, she 313 00:18:56,680 --> 00:19:00,960 Speaker 3: stood up. Can God see your faith? Are you doing 314 00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:04,120 Speaker 3: anything that says I want to be well, I want 315 00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:06,359 Speaker 3: to be free, I want to go to the next level. 316 00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:10,080 Speaker 3: That's what a man did in Mark chapter ten. His 317 00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:13,800 Speaker 3: name was Bartimaeus. He was a blind beggar sitting on 318 00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:17,280 Speaker 3: the side of the road. Jesus was leaving Jericho and 319 00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:20,359 Speaker 3: about to pass in front of him. When he found 320 00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:25,320 Speaker 3: out it was Jesus, he started shouting, Jesus, son of David, 321 00:19:25,600 --> 00:19:30,400 Speaker 3: have mercy on me. Well, Jesus technically wasn't the son 322 00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:33,880 Speaker 3: of David. He was the son of Joseph. Why did 323 00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:38,159 Speaker 3: Barbibas call him son of David? He recognized he was 324 00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:42,920 Speaker 3: the Messiah a few chapters earlier, the religious leaders didn't 325 00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:47,879 Speaker 3: recognize Jesus. They thought he was a fraud. They were jealous, intimidated. 326 00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:52,200 Speaker 3: It's interesting that this blind man, a man that didn't 327 00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:55,439 Speaker 3: have physical sight, was one of the first ones to 328 00:19:55,560 --> 00:20:00,680 Speaker 3: recognize Jesus as the Messiah. When he cried out, Jesus, 329 00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:06,960 Speaker 3: son of David, he was saying, Messiah, Healer, deliverer, most 330 00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:11,800 Speaker 3: high God. Jesus stopped in his tracks. I can imagine 331 00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:15,960 Speaker 3: Jesus thinking, here's someone that knows who I am. He 332 00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:21,280 Speaker 3: knows I am all powerful. He's expecting my goodness. When 333 00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:26,080 Speaker 3: Bartimaeus started shouting, people around him said Bartimaeus, be quiet, 334 00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:28,960 Speaker 3: you're causing the scene. He's gonna get upset with you. 335 00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:32,280 Speaker 3: People will try to talk you out of your miracle. 336 00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:35,879 Speaker 3: They'll tell you all the reasons why you can't get wound, 337 00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:38,400 Speaker 3: why you won't break the addiction, why you won't meet 338 00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:42,119 Speaker 3: the right person. It's because they don't know what God 339 00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:46,680 Speaker 3: put in you. They can't hear what you hear. Negative 340 00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:50,600 Speaker 3: voices will try to discourage you. But when you get quiet, 341 00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:55,080 Speaker 3: you'll hear that still small voice saying this addiction is 342 00:20:55,119 --> 00:20:59,280 Speaker 3: not your destiny. You're better than this. Living in lack 343 00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:02,960 Speaker 3: not able to get ahead is not your lot in life. 344 00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:08,359 Speaker 3: Abundance is on the way being depressed, No, passion, That 345 00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:12,720 Speaker 3: is not who you are. Freedom is coming, Joy is coming, 346 00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:18,119 Speaker 3: Breakthroughs are coming. God whispers in your spirit, dreams and 347 00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:22,359 Speaker 3: promises what you can become. The enemy will do his 348 00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:26,240 Speaker 3: best to drown that out, no matter how loud those 349 00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:30,040 Speaker 3: other voices are. Don't let them talk you out of 350 00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:33,840 Speaker 3: what God has whispered in your spirit. The scripture talks 351 00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:38,520 Speaker 3: about the secret petitions of our hearts. That's the dreams 352 00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:42,040 Speaker 3: God gave you at night, the promises you haven't told 353 00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:45,600 Speaker 3: anyone about. It seems too far out, like it could 354 00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:49,159 Speaker 3: never happen. That's God speaking to you. His dream for 355 00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:52,880 Speaker 3: your life is much bigger than your own. But these 356 00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:57,880 Speaker 3: people saw Bartimaeus as insignificant, unimportant. He's just a blind beggar. 357 00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:02,400 Speaker 3: He told him to be quiet, but Bartimaeus shouted even louder. 358 00:22:03,160 --> 00:22:06,600 Speaker 3: When Jesus heard him, he stopped and said, let him 359 00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:11,760 Speaker 3: come to me. Verse fifty says Bartimaeus threw off his coat. 360 00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:16,960 Speaker 3: This was significant in those days. Scholars tell us when 361 00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:21,400 Speaker 3: a person had a legitimate disability, they were given an 362 00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:25,280 Speaker 3: official coat from the government that gave them the right 363 00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:29,760 Speaker 3: to beg The beggar's coat was very valuable. That's how 364 00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:33,200 Speaker 3: they made their living. On the other hand, it labeled 365 00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:37,040 Speaker 3: you as a beggar, just as we recognize people by 366 00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:41,960 Speaker 3: their uniforms police officer, firefighter, a doctor. When you wore 367 00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:46,080 Speaker 3: the beggar's coat, everywhere you went, people knew you're at 368 00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:49,879 Speaker 3: a disadvantage. You're not up to par. In a sense, 369 00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:53,240 Speaker 3: that coat gave you the right to feel sorry for yourself, 370 00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:56,280 Speaker 3: the right to be depressed, the right to sit around 371 00:22:56,320 --> 00:23:01,520 Speaker 3: in self pity. When Bartimaeus heard Jesus come, the first 372 00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:05,600 Speaker 3: thing he did was throw off his coat. His attitude was, 373 00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:09,560 Speaker 3: this is a new day. I am done feeling sorry 374 00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:14,480 Speaker 3: for myself. I'm done wearing this label that says disadvantage. 375 00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:18,920 Speaker 3: I'm done begging. I don't need this coat anymore. He 376 00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:22,000 Speaker 3: changed his mindset. I am not a victim, I am 377 00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:25,520 Speaker 3: a victor. God is on the throne. He's bigger than 378 00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:28,920 Speaker 3: this problem. He has beauty for these ashes. He got 379 00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:33,320 Speaker 3: rid of the excuses. As long as you justify where 380 00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:37,959 Speaker 3: you are, making excuses as to why you can't rise higher, 381 00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:41,640 Speaker 3: why you're at a disadvantage. Why you're bitter, then you'll 382 00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:45,520 Speaker 3: get stuck. I wonder how many of us are wearing 383 00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:49,200 Speaker 3: that beggar's coat, Joel. I had a bad childhood. I've 384 00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:52,280 Speaker 3: got a good reason to be bitter. Somebody walked out 385 00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:55,200 Speaker 3: of a relationship, I lost a loved one, I came 386 00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:57,600 Speaker 3: down with then illness. That's why I'm negative, That's why 387 00:23:57,600 --> 00:24:01,359 Speaker 3: I'm sour. Before you can get well, you have to 388 00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:04,919 Speaker 3: take off the beggar's coat. Can I tell you? We 389 00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:08,879 Speaker 3: all have a reason to feel sorry for ourselves. Everybody's 390 00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:14,200 Speaker 3: been hurt, everybody's made mistakes, everybody's had disappointments. Get rid 391 00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:17,840 Speaker 3: of the excuses. It may not have been fair, but 392 00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:21,800 Speaker 3: God is fair. He's a god of justice. He wouldn't 393 00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:23,959 Speaker 3: have allowed it if it was going to keep you 394 00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:28,720 Speaker 3: from your purpose. And I'm all for being compassionate, loving kind, 395 00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:32,280 Speaker 3: But I don't believe in giving people the right to 396 00:24:32,359 --> 00:24:36,760 Speaker 3: feel sorry for themselves. Not because it wasn't fair, not 397 00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:40,320 Speaker 3: because life didn't throw you a curve, but because it 398 00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:43,879 Speaker 3: will keep you from seeing the beauty for ashes. It 399 00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:49,320 Speaker 3: will keep you from being restored, healed, vindicated, promoted. God 400 00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:52,440 Speaker 3: wants to make the enemy pay He wants to bring 401 00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:56,200 Speaker 3: you out better. Do your part. Take off the self pity, 402 00:24:56,680 --> 00:25:00,000 Speaker 3: take off the hurts, take off the disappointments. You can't 403 00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:04,720 Speaker 3: reach your destiny making excuses as long as you're wearing 404 00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:08,119 Speaker 3: the beggar's coat, giving yourself a reason to be bitter, 405 00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:11,920 Speaker 3: feel disadvantaged, feel less than it will keep you from 406 00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:16,040 Speaker 3: the new levels God has in store. When Bartimaeus took 407 00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:20,280 Speaker 3: off that coat, he was not only leaving his livelihood, 408 00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:23,639 Speaker 3: he was leaving the negative things of the past. It 409 00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:27,280 Speaker 3: was symbolic. He was leaving the dysfunction, the bad breaks. 410 00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:30,600 Speaker 3: You have to be willing to leave some things. If 411 00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:32,879 Speaker 3: you're going to become all you were created to be, 412 00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:36,160 Speaker 3: you may need to leave bitterness, leave a bad attitude, 413 00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:41,400 Speaker 3: leave compromise. Jesus told Bartimaeus to come. He couldn't see, 414 00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:45,919 Speaker 3: but he started walking toward Jesus based solely on what 415 00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:49,919 Speaker 3: he heard. You may not see healing yet, but you 416 00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:53,000 Speaker 3: have to go by what you've heard. By his stripes, 417 00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:57,240 Speaker 3: I am healing. You don't see increase yet. Business is slow. 418 00:25:57,359 --> 00:26:00,439 Speaker 3: Go by what you've heard. I will lend and not borrow. 419 00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:05,200 Speaker 3: Your child's off course, no sign of him improving as 420 00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:07,520 Speaker 3: for me and my house. We will serve the Lord. 421 00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:13,200 Speaker 3: Walk by faith and not by sight. Jesus asked Bartimaeus, 422 00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:15,960 Speaker 3: what is it that you want me to do for you? 423 00:26:16,560 --> 00:26:20,560 Speaker 3: He said, Lord, I want to see. Jesus said, your 424 00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:23,679 Speaker 3: faith has made you whole. Go in peace. You were 425 00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:27,840 Speaker 3: healed instantly. He could see God is saying to us 426 00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:31,520 Speaker 3: what he said to him. Your faith is going to 427 00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:35,080 Speaker 3: turn things around. Your faith is going to open the 428 00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:39,320 Speaker 3: right doors. Your faith is going to bring unusual favor. 429 00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:44,520 Speaker 3: It's going to happen sooner than it looks. Keep expecting it, 430 00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:47,840 Speaker 3: Keep talking like it's going to happen. Go out each 431 00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:52,000 Speaker 3: morning looking for God's goodness he's passing by. Don't just 432 00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:55,440 Speaker 3: brush up against him. Do like this lady, reach out 433 00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:59,520 Speaker 3: and touch him. If you'll do this, I believe and declare, 434 00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:04,040 Speaker 3: like Bartimaeus, your faith is going to make things happen 435 00:27:04,280 --> 00:27:07,159 Speaker 3: that you could never make happen. God is about to 436 00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:12,480 Speaker 3: open supernatural doors, turn impossible situations around, and take you 437 00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:16,680 Speaker 3: to the fullness of your destiny. In Jesus's name, if 438 00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:20,680 Speaker 3: you receive it, can you say him in today, I'd 439 00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:23,480 Speaker 3: like to give you an opportunity to make Jesus the 440 00:27:23,520 --> 00:27:27,040 Speaker 3: Lord of your life. Would you pray with me?
