Speaker 4: Well, God bless you.

Speaker 5: we'll make you feel right at home. But thanks so

47
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:03,160
Speaker 5: much for tuning in. Thank you again for coming out.

48
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:06,200
Speaker 5: I like to start with something funny and heard about

49
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:08,640
Speaker 5: this man. He was out taking a walk through the

50
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:11,480
Speaker 5: woods with a friend when all of a sudden they

51
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:15,040
Speaker 5: encountered a huge grizzly bear about twenty yards in front

52
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:18,600
Speaker 5: of them. They froze in their tracks as the bear

53
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:23,800
Speaker 5: intently stared them down. They contemplated what they should do. Finally,

54
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:26,600
Speaker 5: the man whispered to his friend, I think we should run.

55
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:29,800
Speaker 5: His friends said, are you crazy. We can't outrun a

56
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:32,679
Speaker 5: grizzly bear. The man said, I know that. I don't

57
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:35,120
Speaker 5: have to outrun him. I just have to outrun you.

58
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 4: Hold up your bibles.

59
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:40,280
Speaker 5: Say it like you mean it. This is my Bible.

60
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:42,880
Speaker 5: I am what it says I am. I have what

61
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:45,360
Speaker 5: it says I have. I can do what it says

62
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:48,040
Speaker 5: I can do. Today I will be taught the word

63
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:52,120
Speaker 5: of God. I boldly confess. My mind is alert, my

64
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 5: heart is receptive. I will never be the same. In Jesus' name,

65
00:02:56,760 --> 00:03:00,160
Speaker 5: God bless you. I want to talk to you today

66
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:05,040
Speaker 5: about unshakable faith. When God puts a promise in your heart,

67
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:08,160
Speaker 5: you have to come to the place where you believe

68
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:11,400
Speaker 5: it's going to happen so strongly nothing can.

69
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:14,440
Speaker 4: Talk you out of it. It may seem impossible.

70
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:18,119
Speaker 5: The medical report may say there's no way you're going

71
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 5: to get well, the financial situation says business is.

72
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:24,120
Speaker 4: So slow you're not going to make it.

73
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:29,040
Speaker 5: All the circumstances may tell you you'll never accomplish your dreams,

74
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:32,600
Speaker 5: never meet the right person, never see your family restored.

75
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:34,960
Speaker 4: But deep down you.

76
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:39,600
Speaker 5: Have to have this confidence, this knowing that God.

77
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:41,160
Speaker 4: Is still on the throne.

78
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:44,800
Speaker 5: He's bigger than any obstacle. He already has a way

79
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:48,760
Speaker 5: and at the exact time what He promised will come

80
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:54,320
Speaker 5: to pass. You have this unshakable confidence. You know that

81
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:58,120
Speaker 5: God is fighting your battles, arranging things in your favor,

82
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:00,440
Speaker 5: making a way even when you.

83
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 4: Don't see a way.

84
00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:04,240
Speaker 5: And instead of being discouraged, you get up in the

85
00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:07,920
Speaker 5: morning thanking God that the answer is on the way.

86
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:11,200
Speaker 5: Instead of talking about how big the problem is, you

87
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:14,480
Speaker 5: go through the day talking about how big your God is.

88
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:19,320
Speaker 5: When the negative thoughts come, saying it's impossible, it's been

89
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:22,159
Speaker 5: too long, you let that go in one ear and

90
00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:22,920
Speaker 5: out the other.

91
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:25,960
Speaker 4: Your mind is set in one.

92
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 5: Direction, victory, favor, healing, restoration. You know, the moment you prayed,

93
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:35,559
Speaker 5: God set the miracle into motion. It may be taken

94
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:38,400
Speaker 5: a long time, but God didn't bring you this far

95
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:41,240
Speaker 5: to leave you. You've seen him do it in the past,

96
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:44,440
Speaker 5: and you know he will do it again in the future.

97
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 5: You are fully persuaded. That's unshakable faith. And the fact

98
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:53,359
Speaker 5: is some promises do take a long time. If God

99
00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:56,560
Speaker 5: made everything happen when we wanted it to happen, it

100
00:04:56,600 --> 00:05:01,280
Speaker 5: wouldn't take any faith. We grow in the difficult times.

101
00:05:01,600 --> 00:05:05,320
Speaker 5: We grow when our faith is being stretched, when we

102
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:08,480
Speaker 5: have to believe, when we don't see any reason to believe,

103
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:12,039
Speaker 5: when we stay in faith when our mind is telling

104
00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:15,440
Speaker 5: us we're wasting our time. When we give God praise

105
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:19,520
Speaker 5: but we really feel like complaining, that's passing the test.

106
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:24,400
Speaker 5: Every day you do that, your faith is not only increasing,

107
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:28,480
Speaker 5: your character is not only being developed. But you are

108
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:31,919
Speaker 5: one day closer to seeing the promise come to pass.

109
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:34,479
Speaker 5: And some of you, we're about to give up on

110
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 5: a promise, But God has.

111
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:37,120
Speaker 4: You here for a reason.

112
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:40,320
Speaker 5: You need to dig your heels in put on a

113
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 5: new attitude. God is saying every promise. I've spoken over

114
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:49,720
Speaker 5: you every dream I've placed in your spirit, even the

115
00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:53,320
Speaker 5: secret petitions of your heart, the dreams you haven't told

116
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:57,400
Speaker 5: anyone about. I still have every intention of bringing them

117
00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:01,440
Speaker 5: to pass. Friends, God is a faith full God. It

118
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:04,520
Speaker 5: may not have happened on your timetable, but that doesn't

119
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:07,400
Speaker 5: mean it's not going to happen. God has the final

120
00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:11,000
Speaker 5: say Now, don't you dare give up on that promise.

121
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:15,120
Speaker 5: Don't let discouragement, negative thoughts talk you out of it.

122
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:19,080
Speaker 5: Get your fire back, get your passion back. If God

123
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:21,719
Speaker 5: said it, he will do it. If God spoke it,

124
00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:22,679
Speaker 5: he will bring.

125
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:23,120
Speaker 4: It to pass.

126
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:27,480
Speaker 5: Now do your part and have unshakable faith. This is

127
00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:30,839
Speaker 5: what the apostle Paul did. He said, none of these

128
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:36,280
Speaker 5: things move me. What were these things? Circumstances that looked impossible,

129
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:40,400
Speaker 5: people trying to talk him out of it, negative discouraging thoughts.

130
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:44,960
Speaker 4: His attitude was, that doesn't change my mind. I'm not

131
00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:46,239
Speaker 4: moved by what I see.

132
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:49,680
Speaker 5: I'm moved by what I know, And I know if

133
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:52,800
Speaker 5: God before me, who dare be against me? I know

134
00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:56,320
Speaker 5: all of God's promises are yes and amen. I know

135
00:06:56,640 --> 00:07:00,760
Speaker 5: God has the final sayth. That's the attitude we should have.

136
00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:05,440
Speaker 5: I'm not moved by this medical report. I respect and

137
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:08,279
Speaker 5: honor people that are trying to help me get well,

138
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:12,200
Speaker 5: but I know God can do what medical science cannot do.

139
00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:16,120
Speaker 5: God made my body. Doctors can treat me, but only

140
00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:16,960
Speaker 5: God can heal me.

141
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:19,320
Speaker 4: I'm not moved by.

142
00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:23,720
Speaker 5: The economy, the stock market, my job situation. I know

143
00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:27,640
Speaker 5: God supplies all of my needs. He promised he would

144
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:31,520
Speaker 5: prosper me even in a recession. I'm not moved by

145
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:34,880
Speaker 5: how my children are acting, not stressed out because they're

146
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:38,880
Speaker 5: off course making poor choices. I know it's only a

147
00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:41,600
Speaker 5: matter of time. As for me and my house.

148
00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:42,520
Speaker 4: We will serve the Lord.

149
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:45,840
Speaker 5: Or for some of you, I'm not moved by the

150
00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:49,280
Speaker 5: fact that I'm single and I haven't met anyone. I

151
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:53,000
Speaker 5: know God has already picked out the right person. He's

152
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:56,600
Speaker 5: already ordained him to come across my path. I am

153
00:07:56,760 --> 00:07:59,320
Speaker 5: fully persuaded they are in my future.

154
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:03,760
Speaker 4: Unshakable faith. You're not moved by your circumstances.

155
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:06,640
Speaker 5: Up when something good has happened, Down when you don't

156
00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:07,720
Speaker 5: see anything happening.

157
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:10,840
Speaker 4: No, you know that you know that you know.

158
00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:14,679
Speaker 5: Everything God promised you is already in your future.

159
00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:16,920
Speaker 4: This is what Abraham did.

160
00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:19,560
Speaker 5: God gave him a promise that he would have a

161
00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:21,440
Speaker 5: child in the natural.

162
00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:22,680
Speaker 4: It was impossible.

163
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:26,400
Speaker 5: He and his wife Sarah were nearly one hundred years old.

164
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:27,720
Speaker 4: But it says in.

165
00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:33,000
Speaker 5: Romans four, Abraham did not waver in faith, but he

166
00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:37,920
Speaker 5: was fully persuaded God would do what he promised. How

167
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:42,560
Speaker 5: could Abraham have this unwavering faith when all the odds

168
00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:45,280
Speaker 5: were against him. I could see how he could have

169
00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:49,120
Speaker 5: a glimmer of hope, But it says he was fully persuaded.

170
00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:54,360
Speaker 5: Verse nineteen gives us a secret he considered, not the

171
00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:58,520
Speaker 5: weakness of his own body nor the deadness of Sarah's womb.

172
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:06,079
Speaker 5: Having unshakable faith is don't consider your circumstances, consider your God.

173
00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:12,400
Speaker 5: Your circumstances, like Sarah's womb may look dead, the financial

174
00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:16,600
Speaker 5: situation may look impossible, the medical report may say it's hopeless.

175
00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:20,840
Speaker 5: All the experts may tell you could never accomplish your dreams.

176
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:26,079
Speaker 5: If you only consider that, you'll get discouraged. Before long,

177
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:29,400
Speaker 5: doubt will creep in that will keep you from God's best.

178
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:32,760
Speaker 5: You've got to do like Abraham say, I'm not going

179
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:36,320
Speaker 5: to consider just what my mind, my thoughts are telling me.

180
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:39,880
Speaker 5: Not going to consider just what the experts are saying.

181
00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:43,520
Speaker 5: I'm not going to consider the size of my problem.

182
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:47,120
Speaker 5: I'm going to consider the size of my God. He

183
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:51,120
Speaker 5: spoke the world into existence, he flung the stars into space.

184
00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:55,840
Speaker 5: He's not limited by the natural he has supernatural power.

185
00:09:56,600 --> 00:10:01,160
Speaker 5: When you consider God instead of your circumstances, amazing things

186
00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:01,720
Speaker 5: can happen.

187
00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:04,160
Speaker 4: I have a friend named Courtney.

188
00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:07,680
Speaker 5: She attends here, and she applied for a scholarship to

189
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:08,960
Speaker 5: a major university.

190
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:12,640
Speaker 4: She's going to study theater and the arts and acting.

191
00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:16,640
Speaker 5: Twenty six hundred other people applied, but there were only

192
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:21,120
Speaker 5: twelve scholarships available. She could have thought, oh great, what's

193
00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:23,920
Speaker 5: the use of even trying? Those odds are less than

194
00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:28,640
Speaker 5: one half of one percent zero point five percent. But

195
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:33,000
Speaker 5: she didn't consider the odds. She considered her God. Her

196
00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:36,600
Speaker 5: attitude was, God, you control the whole universe, and if

197
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:39,719
Speaker 5: you want me in this university, I know you can

198
00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:42,680
Speaker 5: cause me to stand out. I'm not moved by what

199
00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:45,560
Speaker 5: I see. I'm moved by what I know, and I

200
00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:48,400
Speaker 5: know your plans for me are for good. I know

201
00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:52,199
Speaker 5: you have far and beyond favor. I know you reward

202
00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:56,560
Speaker 5: those that honor you. A few months ago, Courtney received

203
00:10:56,920 --> 00:10:58,960
Speaker 5: notice in the mail that out of the twenty six

204
00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:02,360
Speaker 5: hundred applications, she was one of the twelve that were chosen.

205
00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:05,400
Speaker 5: She's right here on the front row. Courtney, very proud

206
00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:10,640
Speaker 5: of you. Some of you are spending too much time

207
00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:12,559
Speaker 5: analyzing your situation.

208
00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:15,520
Speaker 4: You have so many facts and figures.

209
00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:19,000
Speaker 5: It's talking you out of what God can do. If

210
00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:24,160
Speaker 5: you would spend more time considering God, thinking about his greatness,

211
00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:27,680
Speaker 5: the times he's made away in the past, meditating on

212
00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:32,040
Speaker 5: his promises, speaking faith and victory over your life, then

213
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:35,640
Speaker 5: like Courtney, like Abraham, you'd see God show up and

214
00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:39,880
Speaker 5: do supernatural things. I remember when we first acquired this

215
00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:43,560
Speaker 5: new facility, the former Compact Center. I was told by

216
00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:47,520
Speaker 5: our architects that it would cost approximately one hundred million

217
00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:51,040
Speaker 5: dollars to renovate. My first thought was, how in the

218
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:53,360
Speaker 5: world will we ever be able to pay for this.

219
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:58,959
Speaker 5: Our team ran the numbers they projected future giving. If

220
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:03,439
Speaker 5: we sold some proper things fell into place, we calculated

221
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:08,480
Speaker 5: we would still be significantly short. I studied those numbers

222
00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:11,720
Speaker 5: again and again, so much so I'd wake up in

223
00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:14,679
Speaker 5: the middle of the night dreaming about those numbers. I

224
00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:18,680
Speaker 5: had analyzed them a thousand different ways. No matter how

225
00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:22,520
Speaker 5: I looked at them, we always came up short on paper.

226
00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:26,560
Speaker 5: It just wouldn't work out. One day, I did what

227
00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:30,320
Speaker 5: I'm asking you to do. I said, God, I've considered

228
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:34,720
Speaker 5: the numbers. I've considered the facts. I've had very intelligent

229
00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:39,760
Speaker 5: people give me projections and analysis, and God, it doesn't

230
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:43,120
Speaker 5: look good. But now I'm going to change my focus

231
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:44,800
Speaker 5: and start considering you.

232
00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:45,839
Speaker 4: God.

233
00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:49,480
Speaker 5: I know you parted the Red Sea for Moses, you

234
00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:54,760
Speaker 5: stopped the sun for Joshua. You protected Daniel from hungry lions.

235
00:12:55,160 --> 00:12:58,840
Speaker 5: You took five loaves and fed five thousand. You turn

236
00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:02,200
Speaker 5: water into wine that was back in Bible days.

237
00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:05,120
Speaker 4: But God, in my own life, I've seen you heal

238
00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:08,120
Speaker 4: my mother of terminal cancer. You brought my.

239
00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:12,880
Speaker 5: Father out of defeat and poverty into a life of

240
00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:16,800
Speaker 5: abundance and purpose. You spared my life on the freeway

241
00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:19,920
Speaker 5: when my car was spinning around an eighteen wheeler right

242
00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:22,280
Speaker 5: in front of me. You caused Victoria and I to

243
00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:25,920
Speaker 5: stumble on to a house that doubled in value overnight.

244
00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:29,839
Speaker 5: You've given us this beautiful facility. And God, you said

245
00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:34,440
Speaker 5: what you started, you will finish. You said, God, we

246
00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:39,360
Speaker 5: would see the surpassing greatness of your favor. You said

247
00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:43,319
Speaker 5: you would supply our needs according to your riches. When

248
00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:48,439
Speaker 5: I changed my focus, instead of considering my circumstances, started

249
00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:54,160
Speaker 5: considering my God, doubt, fear, anxiety, negativity didn't have a chance.

250
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:58,160
Speaker 5: Faith rose up, expectancy rose up, hope rose up.

251
00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:03,480
Speaker 4: I became persuaded. I knew that I knew that, I

252
00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:04,240
Speaker 4: knew that I.

253
00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:07,520
Speaker 5: Knew God would make a way, even though I didn't

254
00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:08,080
Speaker 5: see a way.

255
00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:09,920
Speaker 4: That's exactly what happened.

256
00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:13,160
Speaker 5: Here we are today, not just believing for the promise,

257
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:16,880
Speaker 5: but enjoying the promise, not just dreaming the dream, but

258
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:22,840
Speaker 5: living the dream. Friends, it's so important what you consider.

259
00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:27,120
Speaker 5: What are you focusing on the size of your obstacle

260
00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:30,040
Speaker 5: or the size of your God. If you go through

261
00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:34,840
Speaker 5: the day just thinking about your problems, worried, negative, playing

262
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:38,560
Speaker 5: out all the scenarios that could happen, that's going to

263
00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:39,800
Speaker 5: draw in defeat.

264
00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:43,040
Speaker 4: You're using your faith, but you're using it in the

265
00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:43,760
Speaker 4: wrong direction.

266
00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:48,360
Speaker 5: It takes just as much energy to be negative as

267
00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:50,960
Speaker 5: it does to be positive. It takes just as much

268
00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:54,720
Speaker 5: energy to be worried as it does to believe.

269
00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:59,080
Speaker 4: I'm asking us to use our energy for the right purposes.

270
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:05,480
Speaker 5: Most people have considered their circumstances long enough. They've considered

271
00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:09,080
Speaker 5: the bank account, the medical report, the odds that.

272
00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:10,160
Speaker 4: Are against them.

273
00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:14,760
Speaker 5: It's time to make the switch and start considering our God.

274
00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:17,480
Speaker 5: Why don't you take the same time that you would

275
00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:21,440
Speaker 5: normally spend worrying and use that time to thank God

276
00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:24,280
Speaker 5: that the answers on the way, Thank Him that he's

277
00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:29,000
Speaker 5: fighting your battles, Thank him that breakthroughs are coming. Instead

278
00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:33,920
Speaker 5: of over analyzing the situation, spend that same time meditating

279
00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:34,800
Speaker 5: on the scriptures.

280
00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:37,920
Speaker 4: I can do all things through Christ. I am strong

281
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:38,560
Speaker 4: in the Lord.

282
00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:42,600
Speaker 5: God always causes me to tryumph. Instead of reading the

283
00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:46,760
Speaker 5: medical report for the twelve hundredth time, instead of getting

284
00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:49,680
Speaker 5: on the internet and for four hours googling that disease,

285
00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:53,520
Speaker 5: finding everybody that's ever died from it, why don't you

286
00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:56,240
Speaker 5: take that same time to go walk in the park

287
00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:59,240
Speaker 5: and with every step say Lord, thank you that healing

288
00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:04,480
Speaker 5: is flowing through me. Thank you that I'm getting stronger, better, healthier.

289
00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:07,040
Speaker 4: With every breath.

290
00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:09,560
Speaker 5: Lord, Thank you you have me in the palm of

291
00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:12,800
Speaker 5: your hand. Thank you Lord, that nothing can snatch me away.

292
00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:14,280
Speaker 4: Here's the key.

293
00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:19,320
Speaker 5: When you make God bigger, your problems become smaller. When

294
00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:24,120
Speaker 5: you magnify God instead of your circumstances, faith rises in

295
00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:28,600
Speaker 5: your hearts. That's what's going to keep you fully persuaded. Now,

296
00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:32,480
Speaker 5: pay attention to what you're focusing on. Be aware of

297
00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:35,840
Speaker 5: what's playing in your mind all day. Are you considering

298
00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:40,720
Speaker 5: your circumstances or are you considering your God? March chapter five,

299
00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:44,040
Speaker 5: Jesus was traveling through a town on his way to

300
00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:47,480
Speaker 5: pray for a sick person, but he kept getting stopped

301
00:16:47,640 --> 00:16:52,120
Speaker 5: along the way, one delay after another. Finally, these people

302
00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:56,280
Speaker 5: came up and said to his disciples, tell Jesus he

303
00:16:56,320 --> 00:16:58,040
Speaker 5: doesn't need to come any longer.

304
00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:00,840
Speaker 4: It's too late. The has died.

305
00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:08,520
Speaker 5: The scripture says Jesus overhearing but ignoring. Sometimes in order

306
00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:12,160
Speaker 5: to stay in faith, you have to ignore a negative report.

307
00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:16,600
Speaker 5: Doesn't mean you deny the facts, act like they're not there.

308
00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:19,720
Speaker 4: No, Like Jesus, you may hear the facts.

309
00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:23,639
Speaker 5: The odds may be against you, but you choose not

310
00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:27,080
Speaker 5: to dwell on them. You don't go around defeated thinking

311
00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:28,840
Speaker 5: all great, I knew I.

312
00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:31,560
Speaker 4: Wouldn't get well. Look at this doctor's report.

313
00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:35,200
Speaker 5: Now, that may be one report, but God has another report.

314
00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:39,600
Speaker 5: The medical report may say, according to medical science, you'll

315
00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:44,399
Speaker 5: never get well, But God's report says, I'm restoring.

316
00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:46,440
Speaker 4: Health unto you and healing you of your wounds.

317
00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:50,040
Speaker 5: The question is whose report are you going to believe.

318
00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:54,840
Speaker 5: The financial report may say you'll never get out of debt,

319
00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:57,960
Speaker 5: you'll never be able to take that mission's trip, you'll

320
00:17:58,000 --> 00:17:59,800
Speaker 5: never afford the house you really want.

321
00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:02,920
Speaker 4: That's one report. Don't deny it.

322
00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:06,480
Speaker 5: But choose to believe the report of the Lord. God

323
00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:09,480
Speaker 5: says you will lend and not borrow. Whatever you touch

324
00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:13,480
Speaker 5: will prosper and succeed. His favor surrounds you like a shield.

325
00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:17,000
Speaker 5: If you're going to have unshakable faith, you've got to

326
00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:21,520
Speaker 5: learn to ignore the negative reports and choose to believe

327
00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:24,960
Speaker 5: the report of the Lord. One time Jesus saw some

328
00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:28,280
Speaker 5: men on a beach. They were putting away their fishing

329
00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:31,160
Speaker 5: nets and all of their equipment. They'd been out fishing

330
00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:34,320
Speaker 5: that night, and Jesus asked if he could borrow their

331
00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:37,080
Speaker 5: boat so he could push away from the shore and

332
00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:40,520
Speaker 5: teach the people that had gathered. They'd never met before.

333
00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:44,320
Speaker 5: But the men agreed when Jesus finished. As a way

334
00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:47,880
Speaker 5: to say thank you, he told the men, launch out

335
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:50,200
Speaker 5: into the deep, and you will catch.

336
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:54,320
Speaker 4: A great haul of fish. These fishermen begin to reason

337
00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:55,080
Speaker 4: in their mind.

338
00:18:55,760 --> 00:19:00,919
Speaker 5: They thought he's a teacher. We're professional fishermen. This is

339
00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:03,639
Speaker 5: how we make a living. We know when the fish

340
00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:05,840
Speaker 5: are biting and when they're not biting.

341
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:07,560
Speaker 4: We've been doing this for years.

342
00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:11,159
Speaker 5: We are experts, and now is not the time to

343
00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:15,199
Speaker 5: go fishing. For some people, the problem is they know

344
00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:19,239
Speaker 5: too much. Our intellect can talk us out of what

345
00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:22,760
Speaker 5: God wants to do. I told a story once about

346
00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:26,800
Speaker 5: a lady that overcame cancer. Three times after the service,

347
00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:29,880
Speaker 5: another lady came up, said Joel, I liked that story,

348
00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:33,520
Speaker 5: but the type of cancer I have is very rare,

349
00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:37,640
Speaker 5: less than one percent of all cancer. There's no treatment

350
00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:41,159
Speaker 5: for it. The average life expectancy is this long. On

351
00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:45,120
Speaker 5: and on, in great detail, she told me all the

352
00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:49,200
Speaker 5: reasons why she couldn't get well, and story after story

353
00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:52,200
Speaker 5: of people that had not made it, and how there

354
00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:55,240
Speaker 5: was no medicine that could affect this type of cancer.

355
00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:58,119
Speaker 5: When she got finished, she had convinced me I was

356
00:19:58,160 --> 00:19:58,840
Speaker 5: depressed too.

357
00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:02,880
Speaker 4: I wasn't even sick I was ready to plan my funeral.

358
00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:07,280
Speaker 4: What was her problem? She knows too much.

359
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:11,680
Speaker 5: She has analyzed it and reanalyzed it, and studied it

360
00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:14,960
Speaker 5: and researched it. No wonder, she doesn't have any faith,

361
00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:18,359
Speaker 5: And it's good to have information. I'm not saying to

362
00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:20,560
Speaker 5: live with our head in the sand, but there comes

363
00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:23,120
Speaker 5: a point where you have to say, I am not

364
00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:28,840
Speaker 5: going to put any more doubt and unbelief into my mind. Yes,

365
00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:32,800
Speaker 5: I want to know the facts, but I don't need

366
00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:35,720
Speaker 5: to know all the details of why I'm not going

367
00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:38,120
Speaker 5: to get well, why I'm not going to get out

368
00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:40,480
Speaker 5: of debt, why I can't accomplish my dreams.

369
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:42,200
Speaker 4: Take this in the right sense.

370
00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:46,440
Speaker 5: Sometimes you have to turn your mind off. If you

371
00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:50,680
Speaker 5: listen long enough the experts, they can talk you out

372
00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:54,480
Speaker 5: of God's best. With the facts, the figures, the details,

373
00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:58,000
Speaker 5: the statistics, they can convince you into living a defeated,

374
00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:02,520
Speaker 5: mediocre life, like this guy heard about. He was standing

375
00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:06,200
Speaker 5: on the side of a bridge about to jump, so depressed,

376
00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:09,719
Speaker 5: so discouraged. A man ran up and said, please, please

377
00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:11,320
Speaker 5: don't jump, let me help.

378
00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:13,280
Speaker 4: Tell me about your problems.

379
00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:17,240
Speaker 5: For the next three hours, in great detail, he told

380
00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:18,880
Speaker 5: the man all of his problems.

381
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:20,439
Speaker 4: When he got finished, they.

382
00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:24,439
Speaker 5: Both jumped, I want to know the facts, but I

383
00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:27,440
Speaker 5: don't want to know too much. If you don't cut

384
00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:30,000
Speaker 5: that off, it's going to depress you.

385
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:30,960
Speaker 4: You got to get out of.

386
00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:33,880
Speaker 5: The natural and say this may be impossible with men,

387
00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:40,680
Speaker 5: but with God, all things are possible. Those fishermen said

388
00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:44,359
Speaker 5: to Jesus, we've been out fishing all night and caught nothing.

389
00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:47,879
Speaker 5: Thank you for your advice, thank you for your suggestion.

390
00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:51,640
Speaker 4: But we're the experts. We know the facts.

391
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:55,359
Speaker 5: We got the latest fishing report emailed to us earlier

392
00:21:55,400 --> 00:22:00,159
Speaker 5: this morning. Nothing is biting, Jesus said, in effect, the

393
00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:04,440
Speaker 5: promise I've given you may not make sense in the natural,

394
00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:09,520
Speaker 5: but I have supernatural power. Your report may say that

395
00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:11,879
Speaker 5: there are no fish out there, but you have to

396
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:15,719
Speaker 5: understand I control the fish. There may not have been

397
00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:18,960
Speaker 5: fish last night, last week, or last year, but I

398
00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:21,359
Speaker 5: can assure you they're a fish out there right now.

399
00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:24,560
Speaker 4: Jesus finally convinced them.

400
00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:27,960
Speaker 5: They went out, sort of thinking that they were wasting

401
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:32,439
Speaker 5: their time, but they said, nevertheless, Jesus, at your word,

402
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:36,520
Speaker 5: we will do it. They turned their mind off, They

403
00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:40,639
Speaker 5: ignored their logic, their reasoning, their experience what that was

404
00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:45,399
Speaker 5: telling them. I've learned God is not always logical. God's

405
00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:48,679
Speaker 5: ways are not always our ways. They went out and

406
00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:52,880
Speaker 5: caught so many fish that their boat began to sink. Now,

407
00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:56,000
Speaker 5: don't talk yourself out of what God wants to do

408
00:22:56,160 --> 00:23:00,800
Speaker 5: in your life. It may not seem logical. Reasoning may

409
00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:04,080
Speaker 5: tell you there's no way. You're too young or too old.

410
00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:08,800
Speaker 5: All the odds are against you. It looks impossible. Dare

411
00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:12,760
Speaker 5: to do like these fishermen say, God, this promise you've

412
00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:16,159
Speaker 5: given me doesn't make sense. I don't see how it

413
00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:19,200
Speaker 5: could ever happen. I don't know why I should even get.

414
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:19,680
Speaker 4: My hopes up.

415
00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:23,720
Speaker 5: Nevertheless, God, if you say so, I'm going to believe.

416
00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:28,080
Speaker 5: So that's what Mary did, the mother of Christ. She

417
00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:32,280
Speaker 5: was a teenager living in Nazareth. An angel appeared unto

418
00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:35,200
Speaker 5: her and said, Mary, you are highly favored of God.

419
00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:38,600
Speaker 5: You will give birth to a child without knowing a man.

420
00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:40,280
Speaker 4: He will be the son of God.

421
00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:45,440
Speaker 5: God spoke this incredible promise to her. You can imagine

422
00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:49,560
Speaker 5: the thoughts of defeat and doubt that we're bombarding her mind,

423
00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:53,879
Speaker 5: saying you can't have a child without a man. That's impossible.

424
00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:57,399
Speaker 5: That defies the laws of nature. If she would have

425
00:23:57,440 --> 00:23:59,760
Speaker 5: looked at it just in the natural, she would have

426
00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:03,440
Speaker 5: talked herself out of it. But Mary understood this principle.

427
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:08,479
Speaker 5: She didn't consider her circumstances. She considered her God, I

428
00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:11,200
Speaker 5: love the way, she answered back. She didn't say that

429
00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:13,760
Speaker 5: sounds so far out. I just don't see how it

430
00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:14,320
Speaker 5: could happen.

431
00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:15,560
Speaker 4: No, she was bold.

432
00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:19,400
Speaker 5: She told the Angel, be it under me, even as

433
00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:23,280
Speaker 5: you have said. In other words, let it happen. I'm

434
00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:26,960
Speaker 5: in agreement. If God says I'm highly favored, I believe

435
00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:30,160
Speaker 5: I'm highly favored. If God says the impossible is going

436
00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:33,000
Speaker 5: to happen, I believe the impossible will happen.

437
00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:35,440
Speaker 4: That's the way we need to be.

438
00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:38,600
Speaker 5: When God puts a promise in our heart. We may

439
00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:40,880
Speaker 5: not see how it could work out in the natural,

440
00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:42,880
Speaker 5: but we don't try to reason it out.

441
00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:44,520
Speaker 4: We don't make excuses.

442
00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:49,600
Speaker 5: We do like Abraham and become fully persuaded. You may

443
00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:52,919
Speaker 5: be facing an illness. God gives you the promise with

444
00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:53,960
Speaker 5: long life.

445
00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:56,119
Speaker 4: He will satisfy you.

446
00:24:56,119 --> 00:24:59,119
Speaker 5: You can either say I don't know, Joel, the report

447
00:24:59,119 --> 00:25:02,560
Speaker 5: doesn't look good. I've had this for five years. My

448
00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:05,560
Speaker 5: great grandmother died of the same thing. You can talk

449
00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:09,200
Speaker 5: yourself out of it, or you can say, like Mary, God,

450
00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:11,679
Speaker 5: if you say I'm going to be well, I believe

451
00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:15,360
Speaker 5: I'm going to be well. Maybe you're struggling in your finances.

452
00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:18,560
Speaker 5: You've run all the numbers. It doesn't look like you'll

453
00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:21,440
Speaker 5: ever get out of debt. But because you're a giver,

454
00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:24,359
Speaker 5: God gives you the promise. He's going to open the

455
00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:27,800
Speaker 5: windows of heaven pour out blessings that you cannot contain.

456
00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:32,240
Speaker 4: Now, don't make excuses. God. Do you know where I work? God?

457
00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:34,200
Speaker 4: Do you know what the cost of living is? God?

458
00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:37,000
Speaker 5: If you've seen the stock market, no, zip that up

459
00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:39,119
Speaker 5: and do like Mary, God, let it happen.

460
00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:42,240
Speaker 4: I'm in agreement. Be it under me, even as you

461
00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:48,719
Speaker 4: have said. Mary asked the angel something interesting. She said,

462
00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:50,439
Speaker 4: how can this be?

463
00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:54,240
Speaker 5: Seeing that I know not a man? She was asking

464
00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:56,679
Speaker 5: a course about the physical. But I believe there's a

465
00:25:56,720 --> 00:26:00,800
Speaker 5: deeper meaning. God is saying, my promises is are not

466
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:04,919
Speaker 5: dependent on man. You don't have to know certain people

467
00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:08,480
Speaker 5: in order to fulfill your destiny. Sometimes we think if

468
00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:10,680
Speaker 5: I could just get my boss to like me, then

469
00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:13,120
Speaker 5: he'd give me that promotion. If I could just get

470
00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:15,840
Speaker 5: to that expert, then I'd have the training. If I

471
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:19,879
Speaker 5: just had some important, influential friends, maybe I could get

472
00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:20,600
Speaker 5: a good break.

473
00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:21,400
Speaker 4: Now.

474
00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:25,560
Speaker 5: God's promises are not dependent on who you know or

475
00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:26,439
Speaker 5: who you don't know.

476
00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:30,280
Speaker 4: The main thing is you know him and he controls

477
00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:30,840
Speaker 4: it all.

478
00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:35,760
Speaker 5: The scripture says, promotion does it come from people, It

479
00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:39,879
Speaker 5: comes from Almighty God. When it's your time to be promoted,

480
00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:43,800
Speaker 5: to be healed, to be restored, God doesn't go check

481
00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:46,680
Speaker 5: with your friends, your neighbors, your co workers.

482
00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:48,200
Speaker 4: He says, like Mary.

483
00:26:48,280 --> 00:26:52,200
Speaker 5: I'll make it happen without a man. If God can

484
00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:54,879
Speaker 5: do it without a man, he can do it without

485
00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:57,720
Speaker 5: a bank. He can do it without a loan. He

486
00:26:57,760 --> 00:27:00,000
Speaker 5: can do it without the treatment. He can do it

487
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:04,400
Speaker 5: but without the training. Some of you have considered your

488
00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:09,200
Speaker 5: circumstances long enough. It's time to start considering your God.

489
00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:12,520
Speaker 5: He is the all powerful creator.

490
00:27:12,119 --> 00:27:12,880
Speaker 4: Of the universe.

491
00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:17,360
Speaker 5: The promise, the dream he's placed in your heart may

492
00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:21,200
Speaker 5: seem impossible, may look too big when you run the numbers,

493
00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:25,040
Speaker 5: so to speak, doesn't seem logical. But don't do like

494
00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:29,239
Speaker 5: the fishermen and overanalyze it and try to reason it

495
00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:32,439
Speaker 5: all out. You'll just talk yourself out of it. Do

496
00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:35,760
Speaker 5: like Mary Dare to say, God, I don't see a way.

497
00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:38,000
Speaker 4: But I know you have a way. Let it happen.

498
00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:42,440
Speaker 5: When the negative reports, the negative thoughts come saying it's

499
00:27:42,440 --> 00:27:43,840
Speaker 5: too late, it's impossible.

500
00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:47,320
Speaker 4: Learn to ignore it. That's one report.

501
00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:51,160
Speaker 5: But remember God has another report, and he's saying today,

502
00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:55,919
Speaker 5: every promise I've spoken over you, every dream I've placed

503
00:27:55,960 --> 00:27:58,240
Speaker 5: in your heart, I will bring it to pass.

504
00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:01,480
Speaker 4: I am bringing you out of it into abundance.

505
00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:05,919
Speaker 5: You will live healthy and hold your children, will be

506
00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:07,119
Speaker 5: mighty in the land.

507
00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:10,080
Speaker 4: You will overcome that addiction.

508
00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:13,600
Speaker 5: That problem will not defeat you.

509
00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:15,520
Speaker 4: You will meet the right people.

510
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:20,359
Speaker 5: You will accomplish dreams greater than you ever imagined, because

511
00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:25,760
Speaker 5: you have unshakable faith, because you are fully persuaded. Like Abraham,

512
00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:30,159
Speaker 5: you are going to see the surpassing greatness of God's favor.

513
00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:33,520
Speaker 5: I believe it and declare it in Jesus' name.

514
00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:36,040
Speaker 4: If you receive it, can just say amen.

515
00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:41,560
Speaker 5: Today we never like to close our broadcast without giving

516
00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:44,480
Speaker 5: you an opportunity to make Jesus the lord of your life.

517
00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:45,600
Speaker 4: Would you pray with me?

518
00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:51,480
Speaker 5: Just say, Lord, Jesus, I repent of my sins, come

519
00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:52,240
Speaker 5: into my heart.

520
00:28:53,360 --> 00:28:57,520
Speaker 4: I make you my Lord and Savior. Amen. Well, if
