1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:02,160
Speaker 1: Hi, this is Joel and Victoria.

2
00:00:02,240 --> 00:00:05,279
Speaker 2: Thanks for listening to our podcast and thanks for supporting

3
00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:08,200
Speaker 2: the ministry. If you enjoy today's message, why don't you

4
00:00:08,280 --> 00:00:11,280
Speaker 2: be a blessing and share it with a friend, reappreciate you,

5
00:00:11,360 --> 00:00:14,080
Speaker 2: and pray for God's very best in your life. Well,

6
00:00:14,120 --> 00:00:17,040
Speaker 2: God bless you always a joy to come into your homes,

7
00:00:17,079 --> 00:00:19,560
Speaker 2: and if you're ever in our area, please stop by

8
00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:21,440
Speaker 2: and be a part of one of our services.

9
00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:24,040
Speaker 1: I promise you we'll make you feel right at home.

10
00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:26,479
Speaker 2: But thanks so much for tuning in, and thank you

11
00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:29,280
Speaker 2: again for coming out today. I like to start with

12
00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:32,240
Speaker 2: something funny, and I heard about this husband that died

13
00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:36,479
Speaker 2: and he left his wife twenty thousand dollars. After the funeral,

14
00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:38,720
Speaker 2: his wife told a friend that she was totally broke.

15
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:40,920
Speaker 2: Friends said, what do you mean you broke? Thought you

16
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:44,120
Speaker 2: said you had twenty thousand. She said, well, spent five

17
00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:48,840
Speaker 2: thousand on the funeral and fifteen thousand on the memorial stone.

18
00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:51,440
Speaker 2: Friend said, wow, that's some kind of stone. How big

19
00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:53,560
Speaker 2: was it? She held up her finger and said three

20
00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:54,360
Speaker 2: and a half carrots.

21
00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:58,480
Speaker 1: Hold up your bible, say it like you mean it.

22
00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:01,600
Speaker 2: This is my Bible. I am what it says, I am.

23
00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:04,480
Speaker 2: I have what it says I have. I can do

24
00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:07,000
Speaker 2: what it says I can do. Today I will be

25
00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:10,720
Speaker 2: taught the word of God. I boldly confess my mind

26
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:13,800
Speaker 2: is alert, my heart is receptive. I will never be

27
00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:18,640
Speaker 2: the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you. I want

28
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:21,800
Speaker 2: to talk to you today about the second touch. In

29
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:25,200
Speaker 2: the scripture, some people brought a blind man to Jesus.

30
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:27,280
Speaker 1: He'd never been able to see.

31
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:30,440
Speaker 2: Jesus made some mud in his hands and put it

32
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:34,840
Speaker 2: on the man's eyes. Instantly his eyes were opened. You

33
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:38,160
Speaker 2: can imagine how thrilled he was. For the first time

34
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:41,319
Speaker 2: he could see light and color, the sky and people.

35
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:46,120
Speaker 2: He was overcome with excitement. His life had just totally changed.

36
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:50,600
Speaker 1: Then Jesus asked him an interesting question. He said, what

37
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:51,520
Speaker 1: do you see?

38
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:56,120
Speaker 2: It's as if Jesus knew something wasn't perfectly right. The

39
00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:59,360
Speaker 2: man answered back, I can see, but I see men

40
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:04,160
Speaker 2: walking trees. He was saying, I'm grateful that I can see,

41
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:07,880
Speaker 2: but it's all blurry. I'm thankful that I have any sight.

42
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:12,200
Speaker 2: I'm not complaining, but everything is out of focus. Jesus

43
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:14,640
Speaker 2: could have walked away and said, well, I made it

44
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:17,520
Speaker 2: much better, be on your way, have a great life.

45
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:20,200
Speaker 2: That could have been the end of the story. But

46
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:23,880
Speaker 2: God didn't come to just make you better, make you

47
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:27,560
Speaker 2: get by, make you okay. He came to make you

48
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:32,760
Speaker 2: totally whole, to live an abundant, healthy, happy, free.

49
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:33,760
Speaker 1: Victorious life.

50
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:39,000
Speaker 2: The scripture says Jesus touched the blind man again. On

51
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 2: this second touch, his eyes were completely healed. Everything came

52
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:47,320
Speaker 2: into focus. Now he had perfect vision. Many of us

53
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:51,480
Speaker 2: are like this blind man. We've seen God's goodness. He's

54
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 2: helped to get us to where we are. We're grateful

55
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:58,040
Speaker 2: even though we haven't accomplished our dream, even though we

56
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:01,400
Speaker 2: haven't broken the addiction, and though the child is off course,

57
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:03,440
Speaker 2: we're thankful for what God has done.

58
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:06,120
Speaker 1: We can say, like the blind man, He's made it

59
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 1: a whole lot better.

60
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:11,239
Speaker 2: While we should be content where we are, we shouldn't

61
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 2: be satisfied with mediocrity. Too often we settle for less

62
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:20,720
Speaker 2: than God's best, thinking, I'll never break this addiction, but

63
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 2: at least I have learned to live with it. I'll

64
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:25,520
Speaker 2: never get married, but at least to have a few friends.

65
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:28,080
Speaker 2: I'll never get out of debt, Joe, but at least

66
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:30,639
Speaker 2: I can pay my bills. You're right where this blind

67
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:34,200
Speaker 2: man was saying. It's all blurry, but at least I

68
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 2: can see something. I'm not gonna complain. I'm satisfied with better.

69
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:43,400
Speaker 2: Here's the key. You may be satisfied, but God is

70
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:47,760
Speaker 2: not satisfied. He has a second touch come in your way.

71
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:51,400
Speaker 2: The second touch is when you come totally out of debt,

72
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 2: when you're free from the addiction, when the medical report

73
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:58,120
Speaker 2: says no more sickness, when your whole family comes to

74
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:02,160
Speaker 2: know the Lord. The second is when God opens doors

75
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:05,400
Speaker 2: you never dreamed would open, when He amazes you with

76
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 2: his goodness.

77
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:08,520
Speaker 1: Don't be satisfied with better.

78
00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 2: Be grateful for what God has done, but keep your

79
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:15,720
Speaker 2: faith stirred up for the fullness of what you're believing for.

80
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:19,760
Speaker 2: God did not create us to reach half of our destiny.

81
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:24,480
Speaker 2: Three fourths ninety percent. What he started in your life,

82
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:27,560
Speaker 2: He's going to bring to completion. And I'm not just

83
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 2: trying to encourage you, trying to get your hopes up.

84
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:33,920
Speaker 2: I'm prophesying a second touch is coming your way. When

85
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:37,000
Speaker 2: this second touch kicks in, you're going to see favor

86
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:40,479
Speaker 2: that you've never seen. The right people are going to

87
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:44,720
Speaker 2: show up, freedom from strongholds, a new level of your destiny.

88
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:48,159
Speaker 1: Now you have to receive this into your spirit. You

89
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:51,159
Speaker 1: have to let the seed take root. You can't go

90
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:54,400
Speaker 1: around thinking you've reached your limits. You'll never get well,

91
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:58,000
Speaker 1: never get promoted, Joel, I'll never see clearly. It's been

92
00:04:58,040 --> 00:04:59,240
Speaker 1: blurry for so long.

93
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:04,320
Speaker 2: Thinking like that will stop God's best. Quit declaring defeat

94
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:08,839
Speaker 2: over your life. Quit prophesying mediocrity. It may be blurry

95
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:11,400
Speaker 2: right now, but it is not a surprise to God.

96
00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:14,480
Speaker 2: He's not scratching his head thinking why didn't they get

97
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:15,119
Speaker 2: clear vision.

98
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:18,840
Speaker 1: He controls the whole universe. He has all power.

99
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:23,200
Speaker 2: What He's destined for your life will come to pass now.

100
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:27,240
Speaker 2: It may not happen all at once while we're waiting.

101
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:31,520
Speaker 2: That's a test of our faith. Don't get discouraged when

102
00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:34,240
Speaker 2: things happen you don't understand. Don't give up.

103
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:38,640
Speaker 1: You always face the greatest opposition when you're close to

104
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:42,279
Speaker 1: your breakthrough. The enemy wouldn't be fighting you so hard

105
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:45,440
Speaker 1: if he didn't know. God has something amazing right in

106
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:50,000
Speaker 1: front of you. You have to dig your heels in. Say.

107
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:53,000
Speaker 2: It may be blurry right now, may be taking a

108
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:56,000
Speaker 2: long time, I don't understand it, but I know a secret.

109
00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:59,560
Speaker 2: The second touch is coming. God is still on the throne.

110
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:03,040
Speaker 2: Plans for me are for good. Any moment, things could

111
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:07,159
Speaker 2: change in my favor. Living with that kind of expectancy

112
00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:08,800
Speaker 2: is what allows God to.

113
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:10,640
Speaker 1: Do great things. You don't know.

114
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 2: The second touch could happen today. You could meet the

115
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:18,480
Speaker 2: person of your dreams tomorrow. That loan could go through

116
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:21,760
Speaker 2: this week. You could break the addiction, get the promotion

117
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:26,600
Speaker 2: this month. There are second touches already ordained to come

118
00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:27,599
Speaker 2: across your path.

119
00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:32,760
Speaker 1: God doesn't do things halfway. He's the author and the finisher.

120
00:06:33,480 --> 00:06:36,600
Speaker 2: Quit believing those lives that it's never gonna happen. It

121
00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:40,440
Speaker 2: may seem impossible, but God can do the impossible. People

122
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:42,680
Speaker 2: may try to talk you out of it, but people

123
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:46,760
Speaker 2: don't determine your destiny. God does get up every morning

124
00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:48,799
Speaker 2: and thank him for the second touch.

125
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:49,960
Speaker 1: Lord.

126
00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:52,520
Speaker 2: I'm grateful that I have a job. I'm grateful that

127
00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:55,039
Speaker 2: I can pay my bills, but God, I'm still in debt.

128
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:57,880
Speaker 2: To Lord, I thank you for that second touch. The

129
00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:00,839
Speaker 2: second touch is when you come into over flow into

130
00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 2: more than another Our Lord. I'm doing better, I'm feeling stronger,

131
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:08,400
Speaker 2: but I'm still dealing with this illness. Lord, thank you

132
00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:11,679
Speaker 2: for the completion of this healing, for the second touch.

133
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:15,000
Speaker 2: For God, I went through a disappointment, I lost a

134
00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:18,040
Speaker 2: loved one. It's kind of blurry in my life right now.

135
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:20,360
Speaker 1: But God, I'm asking, just like you did for that

136
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:22,080
Speaker 1: blind man, Touch me again.

137
00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:25,920
Speaker 2: Restore my joy, my passion, my purpose. God, give me

138
00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:29,760
Speaker 2: a new beginning. I spoke along these lines a while

139
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:34,280
Speaker 2: back about how God can suddenly shift things. I've received

140
00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:36,600
Speaker 2: a letter in the mail from a young man that

141
00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:40,360
Speaker 2: plays high school football. He told how when he heard

142
00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:43,840
Speaker 2: me say the phrase that a shift is coming, something

143
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:45,960
Speaker 2: came alive on the inside of him.

144
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:48,960
Speaker 1: He didn't just hear it think oh yeah, it's never

145
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:49,760
Speaker 1: gonna happen for me.

146
00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:53,760
Speaker 2: He let the seed take root and started telling everyone

147
00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:56,960
Speaker 2: that a shift was coming. He was a running back

148
00:07:57,040 --> 00:07:59,680
Speaker 2: on his team, and people told him he was too

149
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:02,800
Speaker 2: small to play football, he should try another sport. He

150
00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:05,920
Speaker 2: would never be successful in that, and their team was

151
00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:08,720
Speaker 2: doing bad, losing game after game. But he was so

152
00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:12,520
Speaker 2: fired up he got his whole team saying before the games,

153
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:13,880
Speaker 2: a shift is coming.

154
00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:15,840
Speaker 1: Things are changing in our favor.

155
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:19,640
Speaker 2: They started playing better and better they made the playoffs.

156
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:24,440
Speaker 2: In the state final, this young man scored four touchdowns

157
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:27,800
Speaker 2: most of his career, plus he scored the game winning

158
00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:31,840
Speaker 2: touchdown with two seconds left. He was named the ABC

159
00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:33,200
Speaker 2: High School.

160
00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:34,400
Speaker 1: Football Player of the Week.

161
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:37,960
Speaker 2: In their yearbook, under their picture, they could all put

162
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:38,680
Speaker 2: one quote.

163
00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:41,400
Speaker 1: The quote he chose was a shift is coming.

164
00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:44,520
Speaker 2: I wonder what would happen if we would go out

165
00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:49,640
Speaker 2: with the same expectancy, knowing that the second touch is coming,

166
00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:54,320
Speaker 2: not just hearing a message, but letting a seed take root,

167
00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:58,400
Speaker 2: expecting dreams to come to pass, expecting to be healthy

168
00:08:58,440 --> 00:08:59,960
Speaker 2: in home, expecting God to.

169
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:03,640
Speaker 1: Finish what he started. Well, Joel, this sounds good.

170
00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:06,880
Speaker 2: It's encouraging, but I've had a lot of setbacks. I've

171
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:09,360
Speaker 2: been taking this treatment for cancer on and off for

172
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:12,440
Speaker 2: ten years. That's why I'm discouraged. I don't think i'll

173
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:15,680
Speaker 2: ever get well. But just because you gave up.

174
00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:17,360
Speaker 1: Doesn't mean that God gave up.

175
00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:20,959
Speaker 2: God is not satisfied with better. He's gonna take you

176
00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:25,520
Speaker 2: to the fullness of your destiny. David said, God lifted

177
00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:28,560
Speaker 2: me out of the pit and set my feet upon

178
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:32,440
Speaker 2: a rock. Sometimes even though we're content in the pit,

179
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:36,000
Speaker 2: God is not content He's not going to give you

180
00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:38,920
Speaker 2: a choice. He's going to lift you out of that

181
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:42,000
Speaker 2: pit and set your feet towards your destiny.

182
00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:45,480
Speaker 1: You didn't think it happened. You believe those lives that

183
00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:46,160
Speaker 1: you were stuck.

184
00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:50,400
Speaker 2: But suddenly your health turned around, Suddenly you met the

185
00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:54,920
Speaker 2: right person, Suddenly a new door opened up. Wasn't anything

186
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:58,360
Speaker 2: you did, It was simply the goodness of God his

187
00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:03,559
Speaker 2: second touch. One King, chapter nineteen. The prophet Elijah had

188
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:06,200
Speaker 2: just seen one of the greatest victories of his life.

189
00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:10,679
Speaker 2: Four hundred false prophets that worshiped the God bel had

190
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:14,600
Speaker 2: come against him. Elijah said to them, since you think

191
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:17,000
Speaker 2: your God is real, let's have a contest.

192
00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:19,280
Speaker 1: They both put wood.

193
00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:21,960
Speaker 2: On an altar, and the God that started the wood

194
00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:25,280
Speaker 2: on fire would be the true God. Elijah let them

195
00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:28,559
Speaker 2: go first. They prayed and danced, saying chanted.

196
00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:30,720
Speaker 1: Hour after hour, still no fire.

197
00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:35,200
Speaker 2: When it was Elisha's time, he prayed, and God sent

198
00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:39,520
Speaker 2: lightning from heaven started that wood on fire. Later, all

199
00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:42,400
Speaker 2: four hundred of those prophets were killed. Is a great

200
00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:45,959
Speaker 2: victory for Elijah. But there was a lady there by

201
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:49,720
Speaker 2: the name of Jezebel. When she heard what happened.

202
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:51,479
Speaker 1: To those prophets. She was furious.

203
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:55,200
Speaker 2: She sent word to Elijah saying, if I don't kill

204
00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:59,000
Speaker 2: you by this time tomorrow, I'm gonna take my own life.

205
00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:02,720
Speaker 2: Elijah took off off, running for his life. It's funny

206
00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:05,480
Speaker 2: he wasn't afraid of four hundred men, but he is

207
00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:09,120
Speaker 2: scared the death of one angry woman. When you have

208
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:13,559
Speaker 2: a mad woman after you, you need God's help. All

209
00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:17,720
Speaker 2: the men can say amen there, But anyway, Elijah ran

210
00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:19,560
Speaker 2: far away from that place.

211
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:23,840
Speaker 1: He was sitting under a tree, so depressed that he

212
00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:25,040
Speaker 1: didn't want to live anymore.

213
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:28,400
Speaker 2: He said, God, I'm done, it's over. Just take my

214
00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:31,640
Speaker 2: life here. He had just seen this great miracle. But

215
00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:34,880
Speaker 2: the problem now is he's tired. It's tired of fighting,

216
00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:40,000
Speaker 2: tired of believing, tired of standing strong. Maybe, like Elijah,

217
00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:44,440
Speaker 2: you've been doing the right thing, staying in faith, believing, praying.

218
00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:48,559
Speaker 2: You've seen God's goodness. But now you're tired, lost your drive,

219
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:52,400
Speaker 2: lost your passion. You don't think you'll ever really get well.

220
00:11:52,840 --> 00:11:55,760
Speaker 2: You've had the sickness so long you're not believing to

221
00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:57,200
Speaker 2: start that business anymore.

222
00:11:57,320 --> 00:12:01,960
Speaker 1: You've had too many setbacks. News is, God doesn't give

223
00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:05,439
Speaker 1: up on us because we get tired, get discouraged.

224
00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:09,320
Speaker 2: When Jesus was on his way to the cross, about

225
00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:12,800
Speaker 2: to be crucified, he got so tired, he was so

226
00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:16,520
Speaker 2: weak that he fell down and couldn't carry it anymore.

227
00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:19,760
Speaker 2: God didn't say, Jesus, get up, what are you doing.

228
00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:22,280
Speaker 2: You're making me look bad. God sent a man by

229
00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:25,440
Speaker 2: the name of Simon to carry the cross for him.

230
00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:29,440
Speaker 2: God knew there would be times we get tired, discouraged,

231
00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:32,120
Speaker 2: fall down, give up on a dream. He doesn't say,

232
00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:34,880
Speaker 2: too bad, you should have had more faith. He'll send

233
00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:39,040
Speaker 2: somebody to help lift you back up, somebody to breathe

234
00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:43,400
Speaker 2: new life into your dreams. Maybe I'm that somebody for

235
00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:46,520
Speaker 2: you today. You're not here by accident, you're not listening

236
00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:50,040
Speaker 2: by accident. God is saying the best part of your

237
00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:52,640
Speaker 2: life is still up in front of you. He has

238
00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:57,360
Speaker 2: new victories, new friendships, new opportunities, new mountains for you

239
00:12:57,440 --> 00:13:01,560
Speaker 2: to climb. Sometimes we think, because we're people of faith,

240
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:06,120
Speaker 2: we're supposed to be superman superwoman. Never have a moment

241
00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:08,480
Speaker 2: of doubt, a moment of discouragement.

242
00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:12,080
Speaker 1: Take the pressure off yourself. You don't have to be

243
00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:16,000
Speaker 1: strong all the time. Even Jesus fell down under the

244
00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:19,880
Speaker 1: weight of the cross. You may be down today, not

245
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:23,440
Speaker 1: passionate about life, not pursuing your dreams. You're tired. God

246
00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:25,199
Speaker 1: sent you here to lift.

247
00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:27,320
Speaker 2: You, to help you get back up, to let you

248
00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:30,360
Speaker 2: know that it's not finished. He's gonna take you out

249
00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:33,560
Speaker 2: of that pit. He's gonna set your feet on a rock,

250
00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:37,880
Speaker 2: give you a new beginning. This season will pass. The

251
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:39,320
Speaker 2: second touch is coming.

252
00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:42,840
Speaker 1: Elijah was sitting under that tree, so depressed that he

253
00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:44,240
Speaker 1: didn't want to live anymore.

254
00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:47,679
Speaker 2: You would think God would say, come on, Elijah, I

255
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:49,400
Speaker 2: just rained down fire from heaven.

256
00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:52,320
Speaker 1: I just showed you my favor. I protected you.

257
00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:55,560
Speaker 2: And you mean you're gonna let one woman, one bad break,

258
00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:58,880
Speaker 2: one disappointment cause you to get discouraged and give up.

259
00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:00,600
Speaker 1: What's wrong with you?

260
00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:04,840
Speaker 2: No, God doesn't disqualify us when we don't stand strong enough.

261
00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:08,800
Speaker 2: The scripture says the Angel of the Lord came a

262
00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:13,560
Speaker 2: second time to Elijah and touched him, saying, arise and eat.

263
00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:17,560
Speaker 2: When he woke up, he saw bread cooking over some

264
00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:21,600
Speaker 2: coals and a jar of water. God not only brought

265
00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:24,240
Speaker 2: him the bread and water, but God took it one

266
00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:28,360
Speaker 2: step further and cooked the food for him. God could

267
00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:30,880
Speaker 2: have just given him the strength to go out and hunt,

268
00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:34,080
Speaker 2: find food, find firewood, cook it himself. That would have

269
00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:37,200
Speaker 2: been nice. But here's how good God is. On this

270
00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:40,400
Speaker 2: second touch, God is going to bring things to you.

271
00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:41,560
Speaker 1: He's going to.

272
00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:44,720
Speaker 2: Cause blessings to chase you down. He's going to make

273
00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:48,480
Speaker 2: things happen that you could never make happen. You may

274
00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:52,760
Speaker 2: have been through some disappointments, people and circumstances come against you,

275
00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:56,520
Speaker 2: and now you've settled where you are, you're not expecting

276
00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:57,360
Speaker 2: anything good.

277
00:14:57,680 --> 00:15:00,560
Speaker 1: Every voice says it's never going to happen. Don't believe

278
00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:01,120
Speaker 1: those lies.

279
00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:05,040
Speaker 2: Just like with Elijah, the Angel of the Lord is

280
00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:08,680
Speaker 2: coming a second time on this second touch. It's not

281
00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:11,680
Speaker 2: only gonna give you new strength, new passion, but it's

282
00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:15,120
Speaker 2: gonna push you into the fullness of your destiny.

283
00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:20,200
Speaker 1: The second touch is when you'll see clearly, you'll have wisdom, the.

284
00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:23,880
Speaker 2: Right doors will open, things will fall into place, You'll

285
00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:27,840
Speaker 2: step into your purpose. Why don't you shake off the discouragement,

286
00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:30,920
Speaker 2: shake off the doubt, and say, God, I know you're

287
00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:33,600
Speaker 2: still in control of my life. I may have had

288
00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:35,960
Speaker 2: some bad breaks, things may not have gone my way,

289
00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:38,920
Speaker 2: but I'm not gonna give up on my dream. I'm

290
00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:42,560
Speaker 2: not gonna settle here. I know your second touch is coming.

291
00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:46,080
Speaker 2: If you'll do this, God will not only bring you

292
00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:49,040
Speaker 2: the provision. He'll not only give you the food and water,

293
00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:51,840
Speaker 2: so to speak, but he'll cook the food for you.

294
00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:54,200
Speaker 1: He'll do more than you could ask or think.

295
00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:58,280
Speaker 2: But too often we stay focused on the negative and

296
00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:02,040
Speaker 2: what didn't work out, how long it's taken, who hurt us,

297
00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:05,240
Speaker 2: how unfair it was that causes us to get stuck.

298
00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:09,440
Speaker 2: You can talk yourself out of your destiny. This is

299
00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:13,920
Speaker 2: what Abraham's father did. His name was Tera. He had

300
00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:17,920
Speaker 2: three sons. One of his sons, a young man named Horan,

301
00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:19,840
Speaker 2: died at an early age.

302
00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:23,600
Speaker 1: Tara went through this great disappointment. He lost a son.

303
00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:27,120
Speaker 2: Later on, God told him to leave the place they

304
00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:31,080
Speaker 2: were living and go to Canaan, the Promised Land. Tara

305
00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:33,560
Speaker 2: got all of his family and started out that way,

306
00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:37,560
Speaker 2: headed toward his destiny. But when he came to the

307
00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:41,720
Speaker 2: city of Haran, the same name of the son he lost,

308
00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:45,920
Speaker 2: instead of passing through it, continuing on to the promised land.

309
00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:50,800
Speaker 2: The scripture says that Tera settled in the city of Haran.

310
00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:54,880
Speaker 2: He started off good But when he came to that

311
00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:58,800
Speaker 2: place that reminded him of the son, he lost his

312
00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:04,280
Speaker 2: greatest disappointment. He got discouraged and settled there. Told everyone,

313
00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:07,080
Speaker 2: I know we should go forward. I'm sure the Promised

314
00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:09,360
Speaker 2: Land is probably up there. But look, I've been through

315
00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:11,479
Speaker 2: so much. I've been hurt in my life.

316
00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:13,560
Speaker 1: Let's just settle. Here's never gonna work out.

317
00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:18,760
Speaker 2: Tera could have become the father of many nations instead

318
00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:22,320
Speaker 2: of Abraham. He was the original one that God say,

319
00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:25,439
Speaker 2: go to the Promised Land. We could talk about the

320
00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:29,760
Speaker 2: God of Tera, Abraham and Isaac instead of Abraham, Isaac

321
00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:33,639
Speaker 2: and Jacob. It could have started one generation sooner. But

322
00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:37,960
Speaker 2: Tara chose to settle. He didn't realize that God had

323
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:41,440
Speaker 2: a second touch, that God can give beauty for ashes,

324
00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:45,160
Speaker 2: that God can turn mourning into dancing, that he can

325
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:46,000
Speaker 2: take what's.

326
00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:49,080
Speaker 1: Meant for harm and use it to our advantage. He

327
00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:53,359
Speaker 1: chose instead to stay focused on the pain. And maybe

328
00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:56,480
Speaker 1: he had a good excuse. He lost a loved one.

329
00:17:56,600 --> 00:17:57,680
Speaker 1: But if only he.

330
00:17:57,640 --> 00:18:00,280
Speaker 2: Would have dug his heels in and said, you may

331
00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:03,920
Speaker 2: not understand it. This may be painful, but I am

332
00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:07,040
Speaker 2: not going to settle in Haram. I'm not going to

333
00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:08,920
Speaker 2: stay in the place of my greatest pain.

334
00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:11,560
Speaker 1: I'm going to keep moving forward, knowing that.

335
00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:14,520
Speaker 2: A second touch is coming, knowing that God will pay.

336
00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:15,600
Speaker 1: Me back for this trouble.

337
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:19,360
Speaker 2: If he would have done that, he would have been

338
00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:22,880
Speaker 2: listed as one of the heroes of faith. Friends, don't

339
00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:27,040
Speaker 2: let one disappointment, one loss, one bad break cause you

340
00:18:27,119 --> 00:18:30,440
Speaker 2: to settle. We all go through things we don't understand.

341
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:34,600
Speaker 2: Life doesn't always make sense. The key is you have

342
00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:37,600
Speaker 2: to pass through the place of your greatest pain.

343
00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:39,120
Speaker 1: Pass through the.

344
00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:43,480
Speaker 2: Disappointment, the hurt, the failure, the rejection. If you'll keep

345
00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:46,720
Speaker 2: moving forward, you'll come in to your promised land.

346
00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:50,280
Speaker 1: God will give you beauty for ashes. The scripture says

347
00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:51,320
Speaker 1: God will pay.

348
00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:56,200
Speaker 2: You back double for the unfair situation. You remember Job,

349
00:18:56,440 --> 00:18:59,200
Speaker 2: he went through a great setback. He lost his health,

350
00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:03,240
Speaker 2: his business, his family. But in the end God restored

351
00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:07,240
Speaker 2: twice back what he had lost. He had ten children

352
00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:11,200
Speaker 2: that were killed in a great storm, terrible tragedy. He

353
00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:15,760
Speaker 2: was devastated, but later on God gave him ten more children.

354
00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:18,639
Speaker 1: He had ten in heaven, ten on earth. Double.

355
00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:23,040
Speaker 2: And what's interesting is the scripture never says that Job

356
00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:27,800
Speaker 2: married a younger wife his same wife that had given

357
00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:31,680
Speaker 2: him ten children before gave him ten more children.

358
00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:33,359
Speaker 1: God opened her.

359
00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:37,760
Speaker 2: Womb once again. That womb had been closed. She was

360
00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:40,359
Speaker 2: too old and the natural she couldn't have any more kids.

361
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:44,080
Speaker 2: Her womb looked like it was dead. But when God

362
00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:47,480
Speaker 2: saw the trouble that the enemy cost her, he said,

363
00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:49,879
Speaker 2: in ef fact, don't worry. I'm going to bring you

364
00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:53,760
Speaker 2: a dead womb back to life. That womb that's been closed,

365
00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:56,440
Speaker 2: I'm going to reopen it, and you're gonna have ten

366
00:19:56,520 --> 00:19:57,199
Speaker 2: more children.

367
00:19:57,960 --> 00:20:00,200
Speaker 1: I don't know if she is happy or depressed, but.

368
00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:04,119
Speaker 2: If God did that for Victoria, he would have to

369
00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:09,720
Speaker 2: bring me back to life. Bottom line, that woman had

370
00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:10,800
Speaker 2: ten more kids.

371
00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:11,520
Speaker 1: What am I saying?

372
00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:14,919
Speaker 2: The enemy cannot stop God's plan for your life. He

373
00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:19,800
Speaker 2: may try, but God has the final say. You may

374
00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:22,760
Speaker 2: have something that seems dead. You tried and it didn't

375
00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:25,080
Speaker 2: work out. It's been a long time. You need to

376
00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:28,320
Speaker 2: get ready for the second touch. On the second touch,

377
00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:31,840
Speaker 2: God's going to reopen what was closed. He's going to

378
00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:34,440
Speaker 2: bring to life what you thought was dead. He's going

379
00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:37,399
Speaker 2: to pay you back for that trouble. Don't settle in

380
00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:40,560
Speaker 2: the place of your pain. Keep moving forward. The second

381
00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:44,080
Speaker 2: touch is coming. I was in Washington, d C. Earlier

382
00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:47,040
Speaker 2: this year and I talked to this mother. She told

383
00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:50,560
Speaker 2: me about her son. He's a soldier serving in our

384
00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:52,000
Speaker 2: military overseas.

385
00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:54,240
Speaker 1: She received a phone call in the.

386
00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:56,879
Speaker 2: Middle of the night that he had been gravely wounded

387
00:20:56,920 --> 00:21:00,880
Speaker 2: in action. They were flying him to Germany, expecting him

388
00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:03,399
Speaker 2: to make it through the night. She and her husband

389
00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:06,520
Speaker 2: took the next flight out. They arrived there in Germany,

390
00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:10,160
Speaker 2: he was still alive in a coma, hanging on barely

391
00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:13,399
Speaker 2: by a thread. The doctor said it was just a

392
00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:17,240
Speaker 2: matter of hours before he would certainly pass. A lot

393
00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:20,240
Speaker 2: of people would have given up, but this soldier had

394
00:21:20,240 --> 00:21:23,760
Speaker 2: a praying mother. She knew that God has the final say,

395
00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:26,520
Speaker 2: that God can resurrect it when it looks dead.

396
00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:30,760
Speaker 1: She was doing her best to stay in faith. She

397
00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:32,320
Speaker 1: asked God to give her a sign.

398
00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:36,359
Speaker 2: When all the doctors and specialists left the hospital room

399
00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:40,879
Speaker 2: after giving her the grim prognosis about her son, this

400
00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:44,720
Speaker 2: nurse came in, looked the mother in the eyes. She said,

401
00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:47,719
Speaker 2: don't worry about your son. He's going to be fine.

402
00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:51,080
Speaker 2: When he arrived last night, he opened his eyes and

403
00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:51,760
Speaker 2: looked at me.

404
00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:55,159
Speaker 1: When he did, I could see God in his eyes.

405
00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:59,040
Speaker 2: He made it through that night against all odds, the

406
00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:03,120
Speaker 2: next night, and the next Today, several years later, he's

407
00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:06,879
Speaker 2: still alive, on the road to recovery, getting better and better.

408
00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:11,800
Speaker 1: When it looked like it was over, the second touch

409
00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:15,000
Speaker 1: kicked in. God breathed new life into his body.

410
00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:19,400
Speaker 2: You may have something that seems dead, your health, a business,

411
00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:22,280
Speaker 2: a relationship. You don't see how it could ever work out.

412
00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:25,440
Speaker 2: But God hasn't brought you this far to leave you.

413
00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:29,280
Speaker 2: There's a second touch coming. The first touch got you

414
00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:32,560
Speaker 2: to this point. The second touch is when it turns around.

415
00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:36,640
Speaker 2: You see the breakthrough. Your health gets better, your business

416
00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:40,119
Speaker 2: takes off. The second touch is when you say, I

417
00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:43,080
Speaker 2: can see clearly now the dream came to pass.

418
00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:46,480
Speaker 1: The problem resolved. What God started, he finished.

419
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:51,280
Speaker 2: Anybody can give up, anybody can get discouraged, and thank God,

420
00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:52,360
Speaker 2: it's never gonna work out.

421
00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:56,720
Speaker 1: That's easy. Doubters are a dime a dozen. It takes

422
00:22:56,720 --> 00:23:00,080
Speaker 1: a man, a woman of great faith, somebody like you

423
00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:03,200
Speaker 1: that says I don't see away, but I know God

424
00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:05,399
Speaker 1: still has a way. I'm not gonna.

425
00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:09,760
Speaker 2: Settle where I am, not gonna give up, not gonna

426
00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:12,760
Speaker 2: get talked out of it. I know my second touch

427
00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:15,719
Speaker 2: is coming. God's done it for others, He'll do it

428
00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:19,560
Speaker 2: for me. Moses said in Psalm ninety, God show us

429
00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:24,760
Speaker 2: gladness for our former misery. Replace the difficult years with good.

430
00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:28,880
Speaker 2: God show us miracles again. He was saying, God, I'm

431
00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:31,600
Speaker 2: in a tough time. I've had some bad breaks. Things

432
00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:34,480
Speaker 2: aren't going my way. But God, I'm asking for your

433
00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:39,439
Speaker 2: second touch. Give us miracles again. When you face difficulties,

434
00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:44,119
Speaker 2: do like Moses. God touch me again, strengthen me again,

435
00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:48,760
Speaker 2: heal me again, amaze me again. Dare to ask for

436
00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:52,639
Speaker 2: the second touch. In the scripture, there was a lady

437
00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:56,360
Speaker 2: named Elizabeth. She and her husband were well up there

438
00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:59,760
Speaker 2: in years. Her husband was zachar Ryan. They'd never had

439
00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:03,719
Speaker 2: any children, but God spoke to Zachariah and said they

440
00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:06,000
Speaker 2: were going to have a son. They were to name

441
00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:09,760
Speaker 2: him John. He would later become known as John the Baptist.

442
00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:12,920
Speaker 2: And even though Elizabeth's was too old to have a baby,

443
00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:13,879
Speaker 2: she conceived.

444
00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:17,879
Speaker 1: She got pregnant. For six months, she didn't feel.

445
00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:21,000
Speaker 2: Any movement in her womb. She thought something was wrong

446
00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:24,399
Speaker 2: with the baby. But one day her young cousin Mary

447
00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:28,360
Speaker 2: came to visit her. Mary was pregnant with Jesus. When

448
00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:32,760
Speaker 2: Elizabeth saw Mary, the scripture says, the baby leaped in

449
00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:35,800
Speaker 2: Elizabeth's womb. She knew right then and there that little

450
00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:39,080
Speaker 2: John the Baptist was alive and well. That was the

451
00:24:39,119 --> 00:24:42,040
Speaker 2: first time John ever met Jesus.

452
00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:43,199
Speaker 1: Still in the womb.

453
00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:48,240
Speaker 2: Fast forward thirty years, John was baptizing people in the

454
00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:51,879
Speaker 2: Jordan River. He sees Jesus come walking up. He says,

455
00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:56,399
Speaker 2: behold the lamb of God. Jesus asked John to baptize him.

456
00:24:56,560 --> 00:24:59,200
Speaker 2: When he came up out of the water. The scripture says,

457
00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:03,960
Speaker 2: the heaven opened up. The first time John met Jesus,

458
00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:08,479
Speaker 2: his mother's womb opened up a natural occurrence. The second

459
00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:12,440
Speaker 2: time they met, the heavens opened up a supernatural occurrence.

460
00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:16,680
Speaker 2: This second touch is not going to be ordinary. It's

461
00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:19,680
Speaker 2: not going to be natural what you were thinking. It's

462
00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:22,560
Speaker 2: gonna launch you into a new dimension, into.

463
00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:23,000
Speaker 1: A new level.

464
00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:26,800
Speaker 2: God's gonna make things happen that you could never make happen.

465
00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:31,240
Speaker 2: You may have seen God's goodness, but you need to
