1
00:00:00,920 --> 00:00:02,520
Speaker 1: Hi, this is Jolan Victorium.

2
00:00:02,759 --> 00:00:05,560
Speaker 2: Thanks so much for listening to the podcast and thanks

3
00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:08,360
Speaker 2: for supporting the ministry. We believe you're going to have

4
00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:12,760
Speaker 2: an awesome twenty twenty four, healthy, productive, and favor filled.

5
00:00:13,039 --> 00:00:16,239
Speaker 1: God bless you today and enjoy the message. God bless you.

6
00:00:16,760 --> 00:00:19,360
Speaker 1: It's great to be with you today, and I hope

7
00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:21,280
Speaker 1: you'll stay connected with us during the.

8
00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:25,200
Speaker 2: Week through our daily podcast, our YouTube channel, social media.

9
00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:28,800
Speaker 2: We'll keep you encouraged and inspired. I'd like to start

10
00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:31,600
Speaker 2: with something funny and I heard about this burglar that

11
00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:34,440
Speaker 2: broke into a house one night and just as he

12
00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:38,040
Speaker 2: was stealing the stereo, he heard a voice saying, Jesus

13
00:00:38,159 --> 00:00:41,519
Speaker 2: is watching you. He froze in his tracks, shined his

14
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:43,760
Speaker 2: flashlight in the corner and saw a parrot.

15
00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:46,440
Speaker 1: He said, did you say that to me? The parent

16
00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:49,479
Speaker 1: said yes, I'm just trying to warn you. The burglars

17
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:52,239
Speaker 1: had warned me. What are you talking about? Who are you?

18
00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:56,600
Speaker 2: The parent said, my name is Moses. The burglar laughed,

19
00:00:56,720 --> 00:00:59,840
Speaker 2: said what kind of crazy people would name a parrot Moses.

20
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:03,120
Speaker 2: The parent said, the same kind of people that would

21
00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:08,320
Speaker 2: name a one hundred and fifty pound Rockweler Jesus say

22
00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:11,240
Speaker 2: it like you mean it. This is my Bible. I

23
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:13,640
Speaker 2: am what it says I am. I have what it

24
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:16,039
Speaker 2: says I have. I can do what it says I

25
00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:19,240
Speaker 2: can do. Today I will be taught the word of God.

26
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:23,960
Speaker 2: I'll boldly confess. My mind is alert, my heart is receptive.

27
00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:28,039
Speaker 2: I will never be the same. In Jesus' name, God

28
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:31,640
Speaker 2: bless you. I want to talk to you today about

29
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:36,720
Speaker 2: how kind words work wonders. When you say something kind,

30
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:39,920
Speaker 2: you give a compliment, you tell your spouse that you

31
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:42,040
Speaker 2: love them, you encourage your neighbor.

32
00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:45,280
Speaker 1: It can seem like a simple thing, no big deal,

33
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:48,120
Speaker 1: But those words have incredible power.

34
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:53,600
Speaker 2: Proverb sixteen says kind words are like honey, sweep to

35
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:56,120
Speaker 2: the soul and healthy for the body.

36
00:01:56,920 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 1: You can make.

37
00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:02,760
Speaker 2: Someone healthier by speaking kinds. Just a simple compliment, you

38
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:07,000
Speaker 2: look beautiful today, you did great on that presentation. That's

39
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:11,080
Speaker 2: not just being nice, You're nourishing their soul. When you

40
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:14,080
Speaker 2: tell your spouse, I love you, I'm blessed to have

41
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:17,040
Speaker 2: you in my life. That's not only going to keep

42
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:21,440
Speaker 2: your relationship stronger, but it's making the other person more secure,

43
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:26,160
Speaker 2: more confident. It's nourishing them when you call the friend

44
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:30,280
Speaker 2: that's down, say I'm thinking about you, I care about you.

45
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:31,320
Speaker 1: You mean the world to me.

46
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:36,240
Speaker 2: That's not just encouraging them, it's bringing healing to their body.

47
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:41,160
Speaker 2: Don't miss opportunities to bring nourishment. The people around you

48
00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:45,120
Speaker 2: need what you have. Your kind words can be what

49
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:47,040
Speaker 2: pushes them into their destiny.

50
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 1: Your compliments, your encouragement.

51
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:53,480
Speaker 2: That's making them healthier, stronger. That's how they're going to

52
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:57,120
Speaker 2: become all they were created to be. Now, maybe you

53
00:02:57,160 --> 00:03:00,320
Speaker 2: weren't raised like this with people say a nice things,

54
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:04,760
Speaker 2: telling your family you love them, giving compliments. You didn't

55
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:07,560
Speaker 2: see that model growing up. You can be the one

56
00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:11,120
Speaker 2: to start it. Without your nourishment, it will make it

57
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:15,440
Speaker 2: more difficult on your family, on your children. The reason

58
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:19,239
Speaker 2: some people aren't flourishing is no one is nourishing them.

59
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 2: They never hear any compliments, any encouragement.

60
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:25,560
Speaker 1: But God created us to need each other.

61
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:29,840
Speaker 2: You have something that will cause your spouse to blossom,

62
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:33,480
Speaker 2: your children to bloom, your loved one to feel more secure.

63
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:36,760
Speaker 2: It's not your money, it's not your hard work, not

64
00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:37,920
Speaker 2: your accomplishments.

65
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:41,440
Speaker 1: It's your kind words. They need to hear.

66
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:44,520
Speaker 2: How much you love them, how much you believe in them,

67
00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:48,280
Speaker 2: how great you think they are. Don't let a day

68
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 2: go by that you don't say something kind to.

69
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:54,720
Speaker 1: The people God put in your life. It's not enough

70
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:58,680
Speaker 1: to just think it. Your thoughts. Don't nourish anyone. A

71
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:01,600
Speaker 1: blessing is not a blessing until it's spoken.

72
00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:05,560
Speaker 2: They need to hear it. I love you, I'm proud

73
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:08,640
Speaker 2: of you. You're beautiful, You're going to do great things.

74
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:13,240
Speaker 2: Make it a habit of speaking good at these days

75
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:16,760
Speaker 2: it's more needed than ever. So many voices trying to

76
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:22,040
Speaker 2: push down people saying harsh things, being rude, demeaning. They

77
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:25,560
Speaker 2: have no problem speaking their mind in a negative way.

78
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:28,240
Speaker 2: We need to be just as bold and speak our

79
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:30,359
Speaker 2: mind in a positive way.

80
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:32,279
Speaker 1: God is counting on us.

81
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:36,800
Speaker 2: To be healers, to be lifters, to be encouragers. Let's

82
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:40,359
Speaker 2: make it our business to nourish people's souls, to bring

83
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:41,680
Speaker 2: healing and wholeness.

84
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:44,280
Speaker 1: I've told Victoria.

85
00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:48,080
Speaker 2: Thousands of times how beautiful she is. Now realize she

86
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:51,280
Speaker 2: already knows that she's beautiful. People have been telling her

87
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:53,960
Speaker 2: that her whole life. Do you know what's funny? She's

88
00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:58,520
Speaker 2: never once said, Joel, stop telling me I'm beautiful. You

89
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:00,920
Speaker 2: know why we like to hear good things over and

90
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:03,640
Speaker 2: over because it's nourishing our soul.

91
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:08,080
Speaker 1: It's keeping us strong and healthy. How's going up?

92
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:10,920
Speaker 2: I would hear my parents tell me how proud they

93
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:14,599
Speaker 2: were of me again and again every night before bed, Joel,

94
00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:18,040
Speaker 2: we loved you and we're proud of you. Those words

95
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:23,159
Speaker 2: brought confidence, security because they believed in me. I believed

96
00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:27,000
Speaker 2: in myself. There are people in your life. When they

97
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:30,680
Speaker 2: know you believe in them, they'll start believing in themselves

98
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:35,440
Speaker 2: in a new way. They need your validation, your encouragement,

99
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:39,039
Speaker 2: your blessing. That's what will push them into their destiny.

100
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:43,640
Speaker 2: This should start with your family. Don't take for granted

101
00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:46,840
Speaker 2: the people that are closest to you. You may think, oh,

102
00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:50,080
Speaker 2: they're strong, they don't need my blessing. They know I'm

103
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:53,560
Speaker 2: proud of them. They know they're beautiful. Know something happens

104
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:57,159
Speaker 2: when they hear you say it. Those kind words get

105
00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:02,039
Speaker 2: down into their spirit, bring a new level of compet talent, boldness.

106
00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:05,960
Speaker 2: When I worked in the television department here at Lakewood,

107
00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:08,920
Speaker 2: my father would bring guests by it during the week.

108
00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:11,400
Speaker 2: He would tell them, you have to meet my son

109
00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:15,080
Speaker 2: Joel he's so talented and so much better looking than

110
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:18,880
Speaker 2: his brother Paul. He can produce. He can produce television

111
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:22,559
Speaker 2: like nobody else. He would brag on me so much.

112
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:27,000
Speaker 2: I'd be embarrassed. But Daddy knew the power of kind words.

113
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:30,640
Speaker 2: He didn't grow up with people encouraging him. He had

114
00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:34,720
Speaker 2: loving parents, but they weren't vocal about their love. They

115
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:38,600
Speaker 2: expressed themselves when they saw something negative, something they were

116
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:42,160
Speaker 2: displeased with. And yes, we have to correct our children,

117
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:46,479
Speaker 2: but they shouldn't only hear what they're doing wrong. They

118
00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:50,200
Speaker 2: need to hear words of affirmation, how valuable they are,

119
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:53,120
Speaker 2: how much you love them, talk to them about what

120
00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:57,000
Speaker 2: they're good at. All those times my father bragged on me,

121
00:06:57,360 --> 00:06:59,479
Speaker 2: I may have acted like I didn't like it. The

122
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:02,360
Speaker 2: truth is I did like it. It made me believe

123
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:06,080
Speaker 2: in myself in a greater way. You have to call

124
00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:09,440
Speaker 2: out the seeds of greatness in the people God put

125
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:13,240
Speaker 2: in your life. Most of the time, that greatness won't

126
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:14,360
Speaker 2: come out on its own.

127
00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:16,880
Speaker 1: They have to hear it again and again.

128
00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:20,240
Speaker 2: My mother sent me a birthday card the other day

129
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:23,160
Speaker 2: said Joel, I am so proud of you, and I

130
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:26,920
Speaker 2: know Daddy would be so proud too. Eighty eight years

131
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:30,520
Speaker 2: old and she's still speaking the blessing over her children.

132
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:34,640
Speaker 1: No wonder, I've been able to go places I've never dreamed.

133
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:38,600
Speaker 2: I didn't think this was in me, but people around

134
00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:41,840
Speaker 2: me kept calling it out, telling me what I could become.

135
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:46,400
Speaker 2: Their kind words nourished my soul, made me more confident,

136
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:48,800
Speaker 2: more secure, helped me to step.

137
00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:50,000
Speaker 1: Into my destiny.

138
00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:54,080
Speaker 2: I wouldn't be half of who I am today without Victoria.

139
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:58,000
Speaker 2: She saw things in me that I couldn't see. Here's

140
00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:01,440
Speaker 2: the key she took time to tell me. She spoke

141
00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:05,040
Speaker 2: words of faith, words of victory, not once, but over

142
00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:09,160
Speaker 2: and over. Joel, you can do anything. You're amazing. You're

143
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:12,960
Speaker 2: so talented. One time we bought this old house and

144
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:14,040
Speaker 2: had it torn down.

145
00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:15,480
Speaker 1: We're going to build a new one.

146
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:18,280
Speaker 2: I called the builder we had used a couple of

147
00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:21,480
Speaker 2: years earlier. He built a house we really liked for us.

148
00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:24,320
Speaker 2: She said, why are you calling him? We don't need

149
00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:27,640
Speaker 2: a builder. You can build a house, said Victoria. I

150
00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:29,840
Speaker 2: am not a builder. I don't know how to build

151
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:30,240
Speaker 2: a house.

152
00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:31,440
Speaker 1: She said, sure you do.

153
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:34,640
Speaker 2: You just watched him build our last house. You're as

154
00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:38,240
Speaker 2: smart as he is. You can build this house, I said, Victoria,

155
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:41,000
Speaker 2: I had surgery on my knee. I watched the surgeon,

156
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:42,840
Speaker 2: but I can't do surgery.

157
00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:44,720
Speaker 1: She said, that's different.

158
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:47,600
Speaker 2: She talked me into it. I built a house and

159
00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:50,000
Speaker 2: turned out pretty good. I forgot the plumbing, but other

160
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:53,679
Speaker 2: than that it was great. Ten years before my father

161
00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:55,760
Speaker 2: went to be with the Lord, we would sit on

162
00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:58,400
Speaker 2: the front row when Daddy was up there ministering on

163
00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:02,160
Speaker 2: Sunday nights. Victoria would lean over and say, Joel, one

164
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:03,880
Speaker 2: day you're going to pastor the church.

165
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:06,400
Speaker 1: I thought, I have her soul fulled.

166
00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:08,640
Speaker 2: I may be able to build a house, but I

167
00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:11,320
Speaker 2: cannot get up and speak in front of people. I

168
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:13,480
Speaker 2: would tell her there's no way. She say, yes, I

169
00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:16,200
Speaker 2: can see it. I know you can do it. When

170
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:19,720
Speaker 2: my father passed, one reason I believe I was able

171
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:23,080
Speaker 2: to step up and pastor, even though I had never ministered,

172
00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:26,320
Speaker 2: is because I'd had heard Victoria tell me I could

173
00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:30,439
Speaker 2: do it hundreds and hundreds of times. Those words nourish

174
00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:35,360
Speaker 2: my soul gave me confidence, brought talent out that I

175
00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:39,280
Speaker 2: didn't know I had. How much further will the people

176
00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:42,360
Speaker 2: that God put in your life go? If you will

177
00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:45,160
Speaker 2: speak kind words, if you will tell them what they

178
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:48,800
Speaker 2: can become if you will call out their seeds of greatness.

179
00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:52,160
Speaker 2: Thinking about it doesn't do them any good. Speak it

180
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:53,319
Speaker 2: over them.

181
00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:54,160
Speaker 1: And here's the key.

182
00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:59,120
Speaker 2: Be generous with your compliments and be stingy with your complaints.

183
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:02,720
Speaker 2: We can all focus on things we don't like about someone,

184
00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:06,120
Speaker 2: how they don't measure up, how they should do better.

185
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:09,560
Speaker 2: Don't spend more time telling people what you don't like

186
00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:12,679
Speaker 2: what they can't do, than you do telling them what

187
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:15,760
Speaker 2: you do like what they can do. You have the

188
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:20,520
Speaker 2: power to push them into their destiny. Many times, you

189
00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:23,920
Speaker 2: can see things in people that they can't see in themselves.

190
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:27,920
Speaker 1: Your kind words can be the seed that causes them

191
00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:30,840
Speaker 1: to blossom. Because you spoke faith.

192
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:34,600
Speaker 2: You encourage, you lifted, they'll step into levels that they

193
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:36,040
Speaker 2: couldn't get to on their own.

194
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:37,280
Speaker 3: Now.

195
00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:39,280
Speaker 2: There may be people in your life now and you

196
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:42,600
Speaker 2: kind of put out with why can't they be more disciplined?

197
00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:44,080
Speaker 2: Why won't they go further?

198
00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:47,320
Speaker 1: Maybe all they need is some nourishment.

199
00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:51,719
Speaker 2: Maybe your kind words, your encouragement is going to give

200
00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:55,360
Speaker 2: them the strength, the confidence, the faith to rise up

201
00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:59,320
Speaker 2: and blossom into who they were created to be. We

202
00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:02,360
Speaker 2: have this small plant in a pot on our back porch,

203
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:04,560
Speaker 2: and we were out of town for a couple of

204
00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:07,480
Speaker 2: weeks and didn't water it. When we came back, the

205
00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:11,440
Speaker 2: plant was all wilted over leaves were brown, dried up,

206
00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:14,240
Speaker 2: looked like it was dead. I was about to take

207
00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:17,480
Speaker 2: it to the trash. Zoria said, no, Joe, it's not dead.

208
00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:20,320
Speaker 2: Just put some water in it. I thought, man, she

209
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:23,000
Speaker 2: has more faith than me, because there's nothing in this

210
00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:27,000
Speaker 2: plant that looks alive. I watered it. The next morning

211
00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:28,480
Speaker 2: the plant had stood up tall.

212
00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:31,239
Speaker 1: I thought, this is a miracle, this is a resurrection.

213
00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:35,200
Speaker 2: Two days later the leaves had turned green. A couple

214
00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:36,640
Speaker 2: of weeks later there.

215
00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:37,679
Speaker 1: Were beautiful flowers.

216
00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:41,959
Speaker 2: The whole plant was blossoming, blooming, prettier than ever.

217
00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:46,000
Speaker 1: I thought it was dead. All it needed was some nourishment.

218
00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:51,160
Speaker 2: And the reason some people are wilted, not blossoming, not

219
00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:56,080
Speaker 2: reaching their potential is their lacking nourishment. They need someone

220
00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:57,960
Speaker 2: to speak life into them.

221
00:11:58,360 --> 00:11:59,760
Speaker 1: You have what they need.

222
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:03,559
Speaker 2: If you'll encourage them, let them know that you believe

223
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:07,040
Speaker 2: in them, call out their seeds of greatness. Just like

224
00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:10,520
Speaker 2: this plan, you'll see them come to life. Gifts will

225
00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:13,360
Speaker 2: come out that they didn't know they had. Their passion

226
00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:14,120
Speaker 2: will come back.

227
00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:16,079
Speaker 1: Before long, they'll.

228
00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:20,560
Speaker 2: Be blossoming, blooming, stepping into new levels. It wasn't something

229
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:23,560
Speaker 2: they could do on their own. They needed what you had.

230
00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:28,679
Speaker 2: Your kind words are nourishment to their soul. And this

231
00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:32,120
Speaker 2: is not something that's complicated, doesn't take a lot of time.

232
00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:35,400
Speaker 2: In twenty seconds, you can give a compliment, you can

233
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:37,680
Speaker 2: send a text, I'm thinking about you.

234
00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:40,640
Speaker 1: I appreciate your friendship. You're really amazing.

235
00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:44,600
Speaker 2: You just nourish their soul. You just lighten their load,

236
00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:46,079
Speaker 2: made their life.

237
00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:49,680
Speaker 1: A little easier. You don't know what people are going through.

238
00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:54,120
Speaker 2: They may smile on the outside everything seems fine, but

239
00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:57,800
Speaker 2: on the inside they're hurting. They're trying to keep it together.

240
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:01,840
Speaker 2: One thing I've learned is everyone is fighting a battle.

241
00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:04,000
Speaker 2: Everyone is dealing with something.

242
00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:05,160
Speaker 1: They may not.

243
00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:08,520
Speaker 2: Show it, but there's a load they're carrying, their thoughts

244
00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:11,640
Speaker 2: telling them how it's not gonna work out. They're concerned

245
00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:15,880
Speaker 2: about a child, worried about their health, struggling in their career.

246
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:19,640
Speaker 2: If they were sick and we had the medicine, we

247
00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:22,760
Speaker 2: had the cure, none of us would withhold it. We'd

248
00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:24,400
Speaker 2: be quick to give it to them. We want to

249
00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:27,920
Speaker 2: see them get better. What I'm saying is, we have

250
00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:31,280
Speaker 2: some medicine. We have something that will not only nourish

251
00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:35,640
Speaker 2: their soul, soothe their emotions, calm their fears, but our

252
00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:37,040
Speaker 2: kind words.

253
00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:38,280
Speaker 1: Bring healing to the body.

254
00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:42,320
Speaker 2: When you tell someone it's gonna be okay, it's gonna

255
00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:42,800
Speaker 2: work out.

256
00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:45,520
Speaker 1: God has you in the palm of his hand. That

257
00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:49,600
Speaker 1: just made them stronger. Their immune system will function.

258
00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:53,280
Speaker 2: Better, their cells will work more efficiently, their blood pressure

259
00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:57,480
Speaker 2: will improve, all because you took time to be a healer.

260
00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:04,040
Speaker 2: Proverb says, the word of encouragement works wonders. We often

261
00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:06,880
Speaker 2: pray for signs and wonders, and I believe in that,

262
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:10,160
Speaker 2: But what if some of those wonders are in our

263
00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:14,040
Speaker 2: kind words. What if the miracle was in something simple,

264
00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:17,679
Speaker 2: telling someone that they're going to make it, telling your

265
00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:21,560
Speaker 2: spouse every day I love you, giving your coworker, your

266
00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:26,320
Speaker 2: friend a compliment, encouraging them. Don't discount the power of

267
00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:27,240
Speaker 2: a kind word.

268
00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:28,880
Speaker 1: It can work. Wonders.

269
00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:33,000
Speaker 2: My mother had polio as a child. One of her

270
00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:36,360
Speaker 2: legs is much smaller than the other. She's always walked

271
00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:36,920
Speaker 2: with a limp.

272
00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:38,160
Speaker 1: Had used to.

273
00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:41,600
Speaker 2: Really bother her She was self conscious about it, thinking

274
00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:44,280
Speaker 2: people are looking at me, thinking what's wrong with you,

275
00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:47,160
Speaker 2: and she'd try to cover up the small leg wearing

276
00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:51,720
Speaker 2: longer dresses. One day, a minister friend was speaking for.

277
00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:52,640
Speaker 1: Us at the old church.

278
00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:56,120
Speaker 2: He and my father were walking together and my mother

279
00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:58,760
Speaker 2: was a few feet in front of them. He saw

280
00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:02,160
Speaker 2: my mother walking. He turned to my father and said, John,

281
00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:06,760
Speaker 2: look at Dodie. She walks like a princess. My mother

282
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:10,680
Speaker 2: had never heard anything positive about how she walked, but

283
00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:14,320
Speaker 2: when she heard that, it changed her whole perspective. She

284
00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:18,240
Speaker 2: stopped being embarrassed by it. She started walking with confidence,

285
00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:21,560
Speaker 2: knowing that she's made in the image of Almighty God.

286
00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:23,200
Speaker 1: That was over forty.

287
00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:26,440
Speaker 2: Years ago, but she remembers it like it was yesterday.

288
00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:32,160
Speaker 2: One compliment, one kind word, can have an impact for

289
00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:35,720
Speaker 2: a lifetime. What if that minister would have just thought

290
00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:38,880
Speaker 2: about it, never said it, maybe my mother would still

291
00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:43,600
Speaker 2: be bothered by it. But a word of encouragement works wonders.

292
00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:49,280
Speaker 2: Your kind words can break strongholds in people's mind. Your

293
00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:53,920
Speaker 2: encouragement can set their dreams into motion. Don't withhold the healing.

294
00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:58,080
Speaker 2: Like my plant that needed water, it couldn't water itself

295
00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:02,640
Speaker 2: I had to step in. Someone needs your water. God

296
00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:06,040
Speaker 2: is counting on us to bring the nourishment. You don't

297
00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:09,520
Speaker 2: know how a simple act of kindness can impact a person.

298
00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:11,960
Speaker 1: Seems ordinary to us, but.

299
00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:14,640
Speaker 2: To that person it's something that will affect them.

300
00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:16,240
Speaker 1: For the good for years to come.

301
00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:21,080
Speaker 2: When I first started ministering, I was so insecure. I

302
00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:24,680
Speaker 2: hadn't been trained to do this. I'm naturally more quiet

303
00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:28,160
Speaker 2: and reserved, and all these thoughts said to me, nobody's

304
00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:30,840
Speaker 2: going to listen to you, Joel, it's a big mistake.

305
00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:33,960
Speaker 2: You better change your mind and go back behind the scenes.

306
00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:37,760
Speaker 2: I was fighting all these internal battles, trying to keep

307
00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:42,400
Speaker 2: moving forward, unsure of myself. One day, about two months in,

308
00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:45,800
Speaker 2: when I was at a critical point, I received a

309
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:48,880
Speaker 2: letter in the mail from a very well known and

310
00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:53,520
Speaker 2: well respected minister and business leader. I'd never met him.

311
00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:56,360
Speaker 2: I didn't know that he knew who I was. I

312
00:16:56,400 --> 00:16:59,200
Speaker 2: started reading the letter so nervously, not knowing.

313
00:16:59,040 --> 00:16:59,920
Speaker 1: What to expect.

314
00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:03,360
Speaker 2: He said, Joel, want you to know I've been watching you,

315
00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:04,040
Speaker 2: and I.

316
00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:05,840
Speaker 1: Can't tell you how great you're doing.

317
00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:09,680
Speaker 2: Listed all these things I was doing right on and on,

318
00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:14,159
Speaker 2: so encouraging and so uplifting. When he sent that letter,

319
00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:17,200
Speaker 2: he had no idea what I was fighting. He had

320
00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:19,920
Speaker 2: no way of knowing what kind of impact it would have.

321
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:22,840
Speaker 2: But he took time to nourish my soul.

322
00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:24,720
Speaker 1: He took time to let.

323
00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:26,960
Speaker 2: Me know that he cared, that it was for me,

324
00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:30,160
Speaker 2: that he believed in me. That letter was a big

325
00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:33,399
Speaker 2: part of me moving forward and pushing through the doubt,

326
00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:36,320
Speaker 2: through the naysayers, through my own negative thoughts.

327
00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:42,000
Speaker 1: Proverbs says, when it's in your power, don't withhold the good.

328
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:45,520
Speaker 2: This has taught me to live my life as a healer,

329
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:49,399
Speaker 2: to be free with kind words, to lift people, to

330
00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:52,360
Speaker 2: speak life to their dreams, to tell them what they

331
00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:56,399
Speaker 2: can become. Several times a week when I'm at home,

332
00:17:56,760 --> 00:17:59,800
Speaker 2: instead of watching television, I'll get my cell phone out

333
00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:03,440
Speaker 2: and think, who can I encourage tonight? Who can I bless?

334
00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:06,399
Speaker 2: Who can I nourish like that men did for me?

335
00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:10,160
Speaker 2: God will cause you to speak a word in due season.

336
00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:15,359
Speaker 2: There are people all around us, work, the grocery store,

337
00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:17,879
Speaker 2: the mall, the gem They need nourishment.

338
00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:19,960
Speaker 1: Life has pushed them down.

339
00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:23,480
Speaker 2: They're trying to decide, like I was, should I go back,

340
00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:24,520
Speaker 2: give up.

341
00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:25,200
Speaker 1: On this dream?

342
00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:29,880
Speaker 2: This marriage this child, they're starting to wilt, to dry up.

343
00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:33,760
Speaker 1: The good news is you have the water. You have

344
00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:34,560
Speaker 1: the nourishment.

345
00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:40,640
Speaker 2: Your kind words, your encouragement, your text, your compliment can

346
00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:42,920
Speaker 2: be what causes them to come back to life.

347
00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:46,679
Speaker 1: Well, Joel, I need someone to nourish me. Man, I

348
00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:49,879
Speaker 1: have all these challenges. I'm carrying a heavy load. The

349
00:18:49,960 --> 00:18:54,119
Speaker 1: scripture says, your own soul is nourished when you're kind.

350
00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:58,359
Speaker 2: When you're kind to others, you're not only nourishing them,

351
00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:01,640
Speaker 2: but you're being nourished. You're going to get stronger, you're

352
00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:04,160
Speaker 2: going to get healthy, You're going to have more favor.

353
00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:09,040
Speaker 2: Isaiah said, say to the righteous, all will be well

354
00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:12,440
Speaker 2: with you. It didn't say go pray for the righteous,

355
00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:15,520
Speaker 2: although that's good, go tell the righteous how to get

356
00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:16,560
Speaker 2: out of their problems.

357
00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:20,280
Speaker 1: It simply says, say to the righteous.

358
00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:22,800
Speaker 2: It's going to work out. Everything's going to be okay.

359
00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:26,439
Speaker 2: Just a word of encouragement. Just let them know that

360
00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:29,919
Speaker 2: you care. Just remind them that God's still on the throne.

361
00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:33,440
Speaker 2: You don't have to have all the answers. I used

362
00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:37,560
Speaker 2: to be intimidated because sometimes the situation was so complicated,

363
00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:41,480
Speaker 2: different people involved. There's been lost. I'm not sure what

364
00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:45,000
Speaker 2: to tell them. I've learned I don't have to solve

365
00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:48,639
Speaker 2: the problem. That's God's job. My part is to just

366
00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:53,360
Speaker 2: nourish their soul. Just let them know I care about you, I'm.

367
00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:55,040
Speaker 1: Standing with you. You're going to make it.

368
00:19:55,720 --> 00:19:59,359
Speaker 2: Those kind words are what put people back on their feet.

369
00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:03,320
Speaker 2: Years ago, a minister friend of mine went to a

370
00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:07,119
Speaker 2: tough time. He was accused of doing things that weren't true.

371
00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:09,959
Speaker 2: People blew them out of proportion and made it a

372
00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:13,520
Speaker 2: really big deal, and his ministry and reputation went.

373
00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:14,080
Speaker 1: Down to nothing.

374
00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:17,040
Speaker 2: He's a good man, he just made the mistakes, got

375
00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:17,919
Speaker 2: a little off course.

376
00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:21,040
Speaker 1: It's easy to be judgmental. He knew better.

377
00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:24,600
Speaker 2: It's his own fault. He's getting what he deserves. But

378
00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:28,040
Speaker 2: a true friend doesn't run away. When people are in trouble.

379
00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:31,760
Speaker 1: You run to them. You pour oil on their wounds,

380
00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:33,280
Speaker 1: You help them to get better.

381
00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:37,359
Speaker 2: Have enough people pushing them down Their own thoughts are

382
00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:38,920
Speaker 2: making them feel badly enough?

383
00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:42,200
Speaker 1: Why don't you be a healer? Why don't you use

384
00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:43,960
Speaker 1: your words to nourish their soul.

385
00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:48,159
Speaker 2: You can help love them back into wholeness. The mercy

386
00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:51,000
Speaker 2: we show others is the mercy. God's going to show us.

387
00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:54,280
Speaker 2: I don't want to be a condemner, a fault finder.

388
00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:56,639
Speaker 1: I told you so. I'm going to live my life

389
00:20:56,680 --> 00:20:57,400
Speaker 1: as a healer.

390
00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:01,920
Speaker 2: The scripture says the enemy is the accuser of the brethren.

391
00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:07,760
Speaker 2: Anytime you're tempted to be harsh, judgmental, condemning, recognize you're

392
00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:11,280
Speaker 2: on the wrong side. I hadn't spoken to this friend

393
00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:14,080
Speaker 2: in several months since all the news hit, and it's

394
00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:16,600
Speaker 2: like the whole world had turned against him. And I

395
00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:19,919
Speaker 2: called him on his cell phone. He answered in the weakest,

396
00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:21,760
Speaker 2: most faint voice.

397
00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:22,560
Speaker 1: You could imagine.

398
00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:26,680
Speaker 2: I could barely hear him say hello. He's a very outgoing,

399
00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:30,160
Speaker 2: dynamic person. I told him how much I loved him,

400
00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:32,800
Speaker 2: how this is not the end, and how God knows

401
00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:33,560
Speaker 2: how to restore.

402
00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:37,159
Speaker 1: The line went silent. Could tell he was weepy.

403
00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:40,720
Speaker 2: He said, Joel, I don't have any fight left in me.

404
00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:43,840
Speaker 2: I said, that's okay, We're going to fight for you.

405
00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:46,800
Speaker 2: I didn't have the solution. I didn't know how it

406
00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:48,639
Speaker 2: was going to work out, but I let him know

407
00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:51,159
Speaker 2: that God still had a purpose for him, that he

408
00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:53,760
Speaker 2: was not finished, and that we're going to keep praying

409
00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:54,520
Speaker 2: for him.

410
00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:56,480
Speaker 1: It was a five minute phone call.

411
00:21:57,080 --> 00:21:59,640
Speaker 2: I couldn't tell it made any difference, but at least

412
00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:02,479
Speaker 2: he knew that that we care. Two months later, he

413
00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:05,000
Speaker 2: called me in told how he had already made up

414
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:07,399
Speaker 2: his mind to get out of the ministry. He's going

415
00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:10,880
Speaker 2: to formally resign and go do something else. But he said, Joel,

416
00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:13,800
Speaker 2: when I heard your voice that day, something came alive

417
00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:16,919
Speaker 2: on the inside. I kept hearing what you told me

418
00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:20,080
Speaker 2: that God still has a purpose for me. He quit

419
00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:23,560
Speaker 2: dwelling on his failures. He quit listening to the accusing voices.

420
00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:27,000
Speaker 2: God is passion back today. He's back in the ministry,

421
00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:31,480
Speaker 2: stronger than ever, making a greater difference than before. On

422
00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:34,720
Speaker 2: your journey in life, you're going to meet people like this,

423
00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:38,119
Speaker 2: people that are wilted. Life has thrown them a curve.

424
00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:42,440
Speaker 2: They feel overwhelmed. People are judging them. God put them

425
00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:43,000
Speaker 2: in your.

426
00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:45,120
Speaker 1: Path so you can nourish them.

427
00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:48,760
Speaker 2: Your kind words can put them back on their feet.

428
00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:52,480
Speaker 1: They don't need more judgment. They need a healer. They

429
00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:54,880
Speaker 1: need someone that will pour oil on the wounds.

430
00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:57,800
Speaker 2: There are a lot of tears in our world today,

431
00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:02,359
Speaker 2: lot of heartache of when we get to heaven, the

432
00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:05,600
Speaker 2: scripture talks about how God will wipe away the tears.

433
00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:08,439
Speaker 2: There will be no more tears, no more loss, no

434
00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:12,159
Speaker 2: more pain. But while we're here on earth, God is

435
00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:16,040
Speaker 2: counting on us to wipe away the tears, to lift

436
00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:19,720
Speaker 2: the fallen, to nourish the wilton, to encourage those that

437
00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:23,280
Speaker 2: are down. You can breathe life back into their spirits.

438
00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:27,800
Speaker 2: Your kind words can set their dreams into motion. Your

439
00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:31,000
Speaker 2: encouragement can be what causes them to step.

440
00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:34,359
Speaker 1: Into their purpose. Read about a five year old little

441
00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:35,520
Speaker 1: boy named Michael.

442
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:38,680
Speaker 2: His mother had just found out that she was pregnant

443
00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:41,159
Speaker 2: with the little girl, and he was so excited he

444
00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:44,320
Speaker 2: couldn't wait to see his little sister. All through the day,

445
00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:47,919
Speaker 2: Michael would come over to his mother's tummy and sing

446
00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:52,400
Speaker 2: to his baby's sister, you are my sunshine, my only sunshine.

447
00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:56,000
Speaker 2: Week after week, month after month, hundreds of times he

448
00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:56,719
Speaker 2: kept singing.

449
00:23:57,440 --> 00:23:58,880
Speaker 1: The mother finally went into.

450
00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:02,639
Speaker 2: Labor and there were complications with the delivery. She had

451
00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:05,440
Speaker 2: to be rushed to the operating room for an emergency

452
00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:11,080
Speaker 2: sea section. Unfortunately, the baby didn't fare well. She was alive,

453
00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:15,080
Speaker 2: but doctors told the parents there was very little chance.

454
00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:15,680
Speaker 1: She would survive.

455
00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:19,760
Speaker 2: The baby was taken to the neonatal intensive care unit.

456
00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:23,280
Speaker 2: All the while Michael kept asking, when can I see

457
00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:27,439
Speaker 2: my baby sister. Several days went by, word came that

458
00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:29,920
Speaker 2: the baby would probably not make it through the night.

459
00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:33,600
Speaker 2: The mother knew if Michael didn't see his sister right away.

460
00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:35,280
Speaker 1: He may not ever see her alive.

461
00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:39,760
Speaker 2: When the head nurse wasn't watching, she snuck Michael into

462
00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:43,440
Speaker 2: intensive care. He was taken aback by all the tubes

463
00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:46,879
Speaker 2: and monitors on his little sister. About that time, the

464
00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:49,040
Speaker 2: nurse saw Michael told the mother.

465
00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:51,159
Speaker 1: That he had to leave right now.

466
00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:55,440
Speaker 2: Without his mother saying a word, Michael started singing, you.

467
00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:59,600
Speaker 1: Are my sunshine, my only sunshine. You make me happy.

468
00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:03,600
Speaker 2: When y eyes for gray, the nurse noticed the baby's

469
00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:07,280
Speaker 2: rapid breathing began to slow down to normal. She looked

470
00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:10,919
Speaker 2: at little Michael and said keep seeing. As he stood

471
00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:13,720
Speaker 2: there and sane for a few minutes, the nurse watched

472
00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:17,359
Speaker 2: in amazement as the baby's heart rate became normal. The

473
00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:20,320
Speaker 2: blue color began to go away. Instead of being shaky

474
00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:23,680
Speaker 2: and jitterly, there was a calmness over the baby. It

475
00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:26,280
Speaker 2: was like those words from a five year old boy

476
00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:32,639
Speaker 2: were releasing healing and wholeness into his baby's sisters. Against

477
00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:36,400
Speaker 2: all odds, the baby got better today. She's perfectly healthy

478
00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:41,720
Speaker 2: and home. Kind words work wonders. Are you using your

479
00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:45,000
Speaker 2: healing powers? Are you nourishing anyone's souls?

480
00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:46,119
Speaker 1: Don't let the.

481
00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:50,919
Speaker 2: Day go by without encouraging someone, giving a compliment, telling

482
00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:54,199
Speaker 2: your family that you love them. Developed the habit of

483
00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:59,199
Speaker 2: speaking kind words. The scripture says, encourage one another daily.

484
00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:02,040
Speaker 2: This is not a one time thing and you're done.

485
00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:05,199
Speaker 2: This should be a lifestyle. Be on the lookout. Who

486
00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:07,960
Speaker 2: can I encourage today? Who can I text? Who can

487
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:11,040
Speaker 2: I call? There are people God has put in your

488
00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:15,360
Speaker 2: path that need your nourishment. Remember, when you're kind to others,

489
00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:18,960
Speaker 2: your own soul is nourished. If you'll do this, I

490
00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:22,399
Speaker 2: believe and declare, as you help them, you're going to

491
00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:23,199
Speaker 2: rise higher.

492
00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:24,679
Speaker 1: New doors are going.

493
00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:29,280
Speaker 2: To open, healing will come, favor, breakthroughs, the fullness of

494
00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:33,040
Speaker 2: your destiny in Jesus' name, And if you receive it,

495
00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:36,840
Speaker 2: can you say amen? I'd like to give you an

496
00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:39,879
Speaker 2: opportunity to make Jesus the lord of your life.

497
00:26:40,119 --> 00:26:41,080
Speaker 1: Would you pray with me?

498
00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:47,480
Speaker 2: Just say Lord Jesus, I repent of my sins come

499
00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:48,280
Speaker 2: into my heart.

500
00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:51,400
Speaker 1: I make you my Lord and Savior.

501
00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:55,200
Speaker 2: If you prayed that simple prayer, we believe you got

502
00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:58,000
Speaker 2: born again. We'd love to send you some free information

503
00:26:58,119 --> 00:26:59,280
Speaker 2: on your new walk with the Lord.

504
00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:01,800
Speaker 1: Just text number or go to the website.

505
00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:04,960
Speaker 2: I hope you'll get into a good Bible based church

506
00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:07,080
Speaker 2: and keep God first place.

507
00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:12,840
Speaker 4: Sometimes the circumstances of life can be overwhelmingly negative. What

508
00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:15,720
Speaker 4: should we do when we experience these kinds of negative

509
00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:17,040
Speaker 4: reports and realities.

510
00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:22,240
Speaker 2: Our life is like a container. It can only hold

511
00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:26,520
Speaker 2: so much. When we allow negative things in, like worry, guilt,

512
00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:30,240
Speaker 2: and unforgiveness. That's taking up space for the good things

513
00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:32,919
Speaker 2: that belong to you. That's why I wrote my book,

514
00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:35,440
Speaker 2: Empty Out the Negative. I'll show you how to get

515
00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:38,600
Speaker 2: rid of what's limiting you so you can live a victorious,

516
00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:39,840
Speaker 2: fulfilled life.

517
00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:43,080
Speaker 5: When you make room for joy, peace and faith, God

518
00:27:43,119 --> 00:27:44,880
Speaker 5: will feel you afresh and anews.

519
00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:47,200
Speaker 4: As our way of saying thank you for your gift

520
00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:50,080
Speaker 4: of any amount to the ministry this month, Joel and

521
00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:53,639
Speaker 4: Victoria would like to send you this powerful book, Empty

522
00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:57,919
Speaker 4: out the Negative, empty out fear, and replace it with faith.

523
00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:05,480
Speaker 3: My doctor, he said, I went in there and there

524
00:28:05,560 --> 00:28:07,040
Speaker 3: is no cancer in your body.

525
00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:11,920
Speaker 4: Empty out a hurt filled childhood and replace it with confidence.

526
00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:16,400
Speaker 5: So I took what Joel said, and I physically replace

527
00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:19,520
Speaker 5: them with I am strong, I am worthy.

528
00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:22,560
Speaker 1: I started saying those over and over and over.

529
00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:27,600
Speaker 4: Empty out broken relationships and find renewed love in.

530
00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:30,040
Speaker 3: A world that's just so full of so much noise

531
00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:33,000
Speaker 3: and negativity and hatred. And just to come and have

532
00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:36,399
Speaker 3: so much encouragement filled into you. You know, it's something

533
00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:38,040
Speaker 3: I've never had in my whole life.

534
00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:40,680
Speaker 1: Are you holding onto things that are weighing you down?

535
00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:43,080
Speaker 2: It's time to empty that out so you can live

536
00:28:43,120 --> 00:28:45,200
Speaker 2: a positive, faith filled line.

537
