We'd love 13 00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:41,239 Speaker 1: to have you be a part of one of our services. 14 00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:43,839 Speaker 1: I'd like to start with something funny, and I heard 15 00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:46,800 Speaker 1: about this husband and wife. They'd been arguing for a 16 00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:50,040 Speaker 1: long time about who should make the coffee in the morning. 17 00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:52,920 Speaker 1: The husband thought it was the wife's job, but she 18 00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:57,120 Speaker 1: just didn't agree. After several heated debates, she finally told 19 00:00:57,160 --> 00:00:59,640 Speaker 1: him I can prove to you from the Bible that 20 00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:02,720 Speaker 1: is the man's job to make the coffee. He said, 21 00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:05,160 Speaker 1: what are you talking about there's nothing in the Bible 22 00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:08,039 Speaker 1: about the man making the coffee. She said, sure, there is. 23 00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:11,480 Speaker 1: She opened the Bible and turned to the Book of Hebrews. 24 00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:16,280 Speaker 1: Say it like you mean it. This is my Bible. 25 00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:19,039 Speaker 1: I am what it says. I am. I have what 26 00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:21,600 Speaker 1: it says I have. I can do what it says 27 00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:24,399 Speaker 1: I can do. Today I will be taught the word 28 00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:28,640 Speaker 1: of God. I'll boldly confess my mind is alert, my 29 00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:33,280 Speaker 1: heart is receptive. I will never be the same. In Jesus' name, 30 00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:37,080 Speaker 1: God bless you. I want to talk to you today 31 00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:41,440 Speaker 1: about your super bloom season. There was a story on 32 00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:44,560 Speaker 1: the news about all the rain in parts of California 33 00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:48,200 Speaker 1: last winter. Places that normally have a dozen inches a 34 00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:51,560 Speaker 1: year had that much in just a few days. Month 35 00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:55,520 Speaker 1: after month, there was this record breaking rainfalling. It's causing 36 00:01:55,560 --> 00:02:00,520 Speaker 1: all kinds of damage, mudslides, flash flooding, people having to accuate. 37 00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:04,360 Speaker 1: They would get through one big storm, two weeks later 38 00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:09,520 Speaker 1: another one even bigger. But when springtime rolled around, something 39 00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:14,360 Speaker 1: unusual happened. All across the fields and mountain sides where 40 00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:19,559 Speaker 1: it was normally grass and weeds, there were flowers blossoming everywhere. 41 00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:24,040 Speaker 1: It was the most beautiful, colorful sight looked like a postcard. 42 00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:28,520 Speaker 1: They call it a super bloom. Because of the record 43 00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:32,760 Speaker 1: breaking rainfall, seeds that had been dormant for years began 44 00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:36,640 Speaker 1: to blossom. We were driving and we pulled over to look. 45 00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:40,840 Speaker 1: The whole mountain side was filled with bright yellow flowers 46 00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:44,919 Speaker 1: and pinks and purples, like something you've never seen. All 47 00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:49,800 Speaker 1: the rain caused trouble hardship, but without that excessive rain, 48 00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:53,240 Speaker 1: there would have never been a super bloom. It's the 49 00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:58,519 Speaker 1: same principle in life. We all have rain difficulties. Sometimes 50 00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:02,640 Speaker 1: there's a downpour. It's one thing after another. Trouble at work, 51 00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:06,560 Speaker 1: go through a loss, child is off course, dealing with 52 00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:09,480 Speaker 1: a health issue. Thoughts will tell you this is the 53 00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:13,040 Speaker 1: way it's always going to be. You'll always struggle, always 54 00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:16,600 Speaker 1: have heartache, always be lonely. You know, all that rain 55 00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:20,280 Speaker 1: is a sign that a super bloom is coming. You're 56 00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:25,840 Speaker 1: about to blossom. You're going to see favor, opportunities, relationships 57 00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:29,640 Speaker 1: that you could have never seen without the rain. We 58 00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:34,160 Speaker 1: don't like the rain. It's uncomfortable. They walked away, the 59 00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:38,600 Speaker 1: contract fell through. But the rain is necessary. There are 60 00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:41,960 Speaker 1: seeds in you that will only open up by going 61 00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:45,960 Speaker 1: through excessive rain. The rain seems like a setback, but 62 00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:49,600 Speaker 1: really it's setting you up for greater levels. On the 63 00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:53,680 Speaker 1: other side of that difficulty is favor like you've never seen. 64 00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:57,640 Speaker 1: It may be raining in your life now, you're doing 65 00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:02,720 Speaker 1: your best, trying to stay faithful. Nothing's getting better. Attempted 66 00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:06,400 Speaker 1: to get discouraged except that it will never work out. No, 67 00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:10,280 Speaker 1: get ready, there's a super bloom in your future. You're 68 00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:13,560 Speaker 1: going to come out of that lack into abundance, into 69 00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:17,760 Speaker 1: overflowing into supernatural provision. You're going to see the hand 70 00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:21,680 Speaker 1: of God doing what only he can do. That sickness 71 00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:24,560 Speaker 1: may look permanent, but things are about to turn in 72 00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:27,840 Speaker 1: your favor. You're going to come out into good health, 73 00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:31,719 Speaker 1: into energy, into vitality. You're going to come out of 74 00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:37,240 Speaker 1: that loneliness into great relationships, happy fulfill or out of 75 00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:42,000 Speaker 1: the depression, out of that anxiety into joy, peace and victory. 76 00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:45,680 Speaker 1: Don't let the rain fool you. That's not how your 77 00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:50,560 Speaker 1: story ends. There may be flooding, now there's heartache, disappointment. 78 00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:54,760 Speaker 1: It's not letting up. Have the right perspective. Father, thank 79 00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:57,480 Speaker 1: you that this rain is leading to a super bloom 80 00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:00,360 Speaker 1: that I'm going to flourish, that I'm going to blow awsome, 81 00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:03,120 Speaker 1: that my best days are still up in front of me. 82 00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:07,520 Speaker 1: This report talked about how in the super Bloom all 83 00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:11,120 Speaker 1: these flower seeds had been lying their dormant in the 84 00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:15,520 Speaker 1: ground for years. They were healthy, full of life, had 85 00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:19,719 Speaker 1: beautiful flowers in them. They just needed the excessive water 86 00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:22,719 Speaker 1: to get down deep in the earth so they could 87 00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:26,479 Speaker 1: germinate and come to lie. There are seeds in all 88 00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:29,840 Speaker 1: of us that are lying dormant promises that we were 89 00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:33,440 Speaker 1: standing on, believing to come to pass. But it's been 90 00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:37,600 Speaker 1: so long things haven't worked out. We went through disappointments. 91 00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:40,880 Speaker 1: Now we don't think it could happen. We may have 92 00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:45,560 Speaker 1: given up, but that seed is still alive. Researchers have 93 00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:49,120 Speaker 1: found seeds that are twenty five hundred years old in 94 00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:53,159 Speaker 1: an Egyptian tomb. They planted those seeds and they came 95 00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:58,680 Speaker 1: to life. They blossomed hundreds of years later. Prayers are 96 00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:02,520 Speaker 1: seeds that we've suwn. We prayed and asked God for 97 00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:06,920 Speaker 1: our dreams and ask him to turn situations around. When 98 00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:10,560 Speaker 1: it hasn't happened on our timetable, often we quit believing. 99 00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:13,960 Speaker 1: We think it's not meant to be. But those seeds 100 00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:18,200 Speaker 1: are still alive. There are prayers that your parents and 101 00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:22,840 Speaker 1: grandparents prayed. They believed they were faithful, but they never 102 00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:26,080 Speaker 1: saw them come to pass. Those seeds are still in 103 00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:29,640 Speaker 1: your family line. God put the vision in them. They 104 00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:32,000 Speaker 1: could see it, but it was for the next generation. 105 00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:35,680 Speaker 1: My father talked about how one day he was going 106 00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:38,880 Speaker 1: to get the summit for Lakewood, that's what this place 107 00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:42,440 Speaker 1: was originally called. He had it in his spirit, but 108 00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:46,320 Speaker 1: he never saw it happen. Twenty five years later, long 109 00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:50,000 Speaker 1: after he was gone, we acquired the Compact Center. How 110 00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:55,159 Speaker 1: did it happen? Through excessive rain, through lawsuits, through opposition, 111 00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:59,000 Speaker 1: through struggle. But on the other side of that difficulty 112 00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:02,720 Speaker 1: was a super bloom. A seed that had been dormant 113 00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:06,680 Speaker 1: came to life. You're sitting in a super bloom. You're 114 00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:09,600 Speaker 1: sitting in the favor of God. You're sitting in a 115 00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:14,320 Speaker 1: building that was birthed out of great opposition. At times 116 00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:19,840 Speaker 1: it looked impossible. The opponents were bigger, stronger. But the 117 00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:23,400 Speaker 1: rain is not how your story ends. The rain is 118 00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:28,880 Speaker 1: waking up seeds of greatness, seeds of abundance, seeds of opportunity. 119 00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:31,640 Speaker 1: The enemy sent the rain to harm you, but it's 120 00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:34,880 Speaker 1: going to backfire. God's going to use it to promote you, 121 00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:38,680 Speaker 1: to cause you to blossom, to go further than you dream, 122 00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:42,800 Speaker 1: to open doors bigger than you've imagined, to entrust you 123 00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:47,600 Speaker 1: with resources, influence, favor that your family has never seen. 124 00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:51,560 Speaker 1: But the only way to have a super bloom is 125 00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:56,240 Speaker 1: to have excessive rain. Things you don't understand, people that 126 00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:59,240 Speaker 1: do you wrong. The house didn't go through, and you 127 00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:04,480 Speaker 1: have this metal problem, you'll be tempted to complain, get discouraged, 128 00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:08,000 Speaker 1: give up on that dream. That rain is not working 129 00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:11,120 Speaker 1: against you. It's setting you up for a super bloom. 130 00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:14,840 Speaker 1: It's waking up the seeds that were lying dormant. It's 131 00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:20,080 Speaker 1: going to bring to life opportunities, breakthroughs, healing, abundance. You're 132 00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:23,480 Speaker 1: going to step into houses that you didn't build, vineyards 133 00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:26,480 Speaker 1: that you didn't plant. That's those blessings that your loved 134 00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:31,080 Speaker 1: ones prayed for but they never saw. Generational blessings. You're 135 00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:34,600 Speaker 1: going to bloom in ways you've never imagined. The medical 136 00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:37,160 Speaker 1: report said you wouldn't get well, but look at you now, 137 00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:41,240 Speaker 1: You're healthy and whole. Looked like you'd always struggle then 138 00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:45,080 Speaker 1: one good break, one contract, one opportunity, and you have 139 00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:49,200 Speaker 1: overflown abundance. Or maybe you thought it was too late 140 00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:52,439 Speaker 1: to accomplish your dream, to write the book, to start 141 00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:56,000 Speaker 1: the business, to build the house. Then things started falling 142 00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:59,840 Speaker 1: into place. New doors opened, the right people showed up. 143 00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:05,120 Speaker 1: Supernatural provision. What happened. You came in to a super bloom. 144 00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:09,680 Speaker 1: The rain stopped and the seeds came to life. You blossom. 145 00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:13,200 Speaker 1: You saw levels that you would have never seen without 146 00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:18,160 Speaker 1: the excessive rain. One expert talked about how in order 147 00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:20,800 Speaker 1: to have a super bloom, the conditions had to be 148 00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:25,319 Speaker 1: just right. What's interesting is California had been in one 149 00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:29,120 Speaker 1: of their top three droughts in their history. People had 150 00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:33,480 Speaker 1: to conserve water, not run their sprinklers. It was inconvenient 151 00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:38,320 Speaker 1: a hardship. But during the drought, something unusual was happening. 152 00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:42,080 Speaker 1: Most of the weeds and grass that normally filled the 153 00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:46,400 Speaker 1: mountain sides had died off. That made room for these 154 00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:50,640 Speaker 1: flower seeds that were very deeper underground to receive the 155 00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:53,760 Speaker 1: water and come to life. Had there not been a 156 00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:58,679 Speaker 1: drought but just the excessive rain, these flower seeds wouldn't 157 00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:03,679 Speaker 1: have germinated. The perfect conditions for a super bloom was 158 00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:08,640 Speaker 1: a dry season followed by excessive rain. God was showing 159 00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:12,800 Speaker 1: us a principle many times before our super bloom. There's 160 00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:17,960 Speaker 1: a dry season, a drought. Nothing good is happening, no favor, 161 00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:21,840 Speaker 1: no promotion. Things are slow. It's tempting to quit believe 162 00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:24,760 Speaker 1: in God. Where are you? Why is this not changing? 163 00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:28,800 Speaker 1: God has not forgotten about you. The drought is all 164 00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:31,880 Speaker 1: a part of his plan. It's making room for the 165 00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:35,520 Speaker 1: new things He's about to do. Stay faithful in the 166 00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:40,080 Speaker 1: dry seasons. Without the drought, you couldn't have a super bloom. 167 00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:44,120 Speaker 1: Without the delays, things that are taking longer than you thought, 168 00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:47,320 Speaker 1: you won't see the fullness of what God has in store. 169 00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:51,040 Speaker 1: But you would think. The perfect conditions for a super 170 00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:55,400 Speaker 1: bloom are good weather, sunshine, the right amount of water, 171 00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:59,320 Speaker 1: the right amount of fertilizer. It's just the opposite. To 172 00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:02,240 Speaker 1: have a super bloom, you have to have a drought 173 00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:06,400 Speaker 1: followed by excessive rain. And a drought is bad enough. 174 00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:10,920 Speaker 1: This is slow. I feel stuck in my career. Nothing's 175 00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:13,840 Speaker 1: changing in my health. My child is still off course. 176 00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:17,720 Speaker 1: If the drought doesn't discourage us, and here comes the 177 00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:23,560 Speaker 1: excessive rain, trouble at work, pandemic hits friend turned on you, 178 00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:26,160 Speaker 1: you lost a loved one. When it rains, it pours. 179 00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:31,040 Speaker 1: But when you understand how God works that, the dry season, 180 00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:35,439 Speaker 1: the excessive rain, that's all leading to a super bloom. 181 00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:40,000 Speaker 1: That's how those seeds have increase, seeds of abundance, seeds 182 00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:43,320 Speaker 1: of new levels are going to take root. The drought 183 00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:47,160 Speaker 1: is not permanent. The excessive rain may feel like it's 184 00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:49,800 Speaker 1: going to flood you, like you're going to go under, 185 00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:52,600 Speaker 1: but God has you in the palm of his hand. 186 00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:56,560 Speaker 1: He said, you'll go through the floods and not be drowned. 187 00:11:57,000 --> 00:11:59,920 Speaker 1: You'll go through the dry seasons and not be harmed. 188 00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:04,120 Speaker 1: May seem odd, but that's the perfect condition for a 189 00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:08,520 Speaker 1: super bloom. The dry season, the excessive rain, it's not 190 00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:12,880 Speaker 1: setting you back. It's setting you up to flourish, to blossom, 191 00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:18,160 Speaker 1: to see greater favor, greater joy, greater resources, greater influence. 192 00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:21,640 Speaker 1: Now the key is what kind of attitude do we 193 00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:25,400 Speaker 1: have in the dry seasons when it's slow, we're not 194 00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:29,880 Speaker 1: seeing any progress in the excessive rain. You get through 195 00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:33,680 Speaker 1: one struggle and something else hits. It's easy to complain, 196 00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:37,040 Speaker 1: get bitter. God it's not fair. Now you have to 197 00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:40,679 Speaker 1: dig down deep and say, God, I trust you. I 198 00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:43,440 Speaker 1: know you wouldn't have allowed this if it wasn't working 199 00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:46,600 Speaker 1: for me. Yes, I'm in a drought. Yes I have 200 00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:50,080 Speaker 1: these challenges, but I believe a super bloom is coming 201 00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:53,960 Speaker 1: that I'm all blossom in my health, blossom in my finances, 202 00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:58,600 Speaker 1: blossom in my relationships. This is what happened with Joseph. 203 00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:01,240 Speaker 1: God put a dream in his heart that he was 204 00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:04,840 Speaker 1: going to be in leadership do great things. That seed 205 00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:08,160 Speaker 1: was planted, but it didn't come to pass without opposition. 206 00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:12,840 Speaker 1: You can't reach the fullness of your potential without delays 207 00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:16,760 Speaker 1: and setbacks and people that turn on you. The Apostle 208 00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:20,840 Speaker 1: Paul said, a wide door of opportunity is open, and 209 00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:25,000 Speaker 1: there are many adversaries. Be much easier if God gave 210 00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:27,440 Speaker 1: us the dream and then just brought it to pass, 211 00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:32,000 Speaker 1: made everything easy, but we would never grow, we would 212 00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:35,520 Speaker 1: never develop our spiritual muscles, and we'd never learned to 213 00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:39,600 Speaker 1: really trust Him in the difficult times. Is where you 214 00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:42,920 Speaker 1: show God what you're made of. That's where you prove 215 00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:46,600 Speaker 1: that you can handle the blessing, handle the favor that 216 00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:50,320 Speaker 1: you're not going to let disappointments, bad breaks, People that 217 00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:53,800 Speaker 1: come against you convince you to live bitter, give up 218 00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:57,720 Speaker 1: on those dreams. Joseph's brothers were jealous of him, and 219 00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:00,839 Speaker 1: they threw him into a pit. Eventually they sold him 220 00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:04,320 Speaker 1: as a slave. His whole world was turned upside down. 221 00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:08,200 Speaker 1: He went from having this exciting dream being his father's 222 00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:12,400 Speaker 1: favorite child to living in a foreign land against his will. 223 00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:17,360 Speaker 1: Didn't speak the language betrayed by his brothers. Joseph didn't 224 00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:20,480 Speaker 1: get bitter. He didn't say, God, this is not fair. 225 00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:23,480 Speaker 1: You said I was going to do great things. He 226 00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:27,760 Speaker 1: understood that God was still in control, that the setback 227 00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:32,040 Speaker 1: wasn't his final destination, that what God promised would still 228 00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:35,880 Speaker 1: come to pass. He was in charge of Potterphar's house, 229 00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:41,160 Speaker 1: an Egyptian army officer. Joseph was being his best, excelling 230 00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:45,760 Speaker 1: when Potterphar's wife lied about him. She falsely accused Joseph 231 00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:49,560 Speaker 1: and he was put in prison. Another bad break. He 232 00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:54,520 Speaker 1: was in Egypt for thirteen years, a dry season. I'm sure, 233 00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:58,760 Speaker 1: thoughts whispered Joseph, It's never going to happen. Now, come on, man, 234 00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:02,800 Speaker 1: God's forgotten about you. Look how long it's been Joseph 235 00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:07,880 Speaker 1: went through the drought. He went through the excessive rain, trouble, betrayal, 236 00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:12,640 Speaker 1: lonely nights. But those two things are the perfect conditions 237 00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:16,080 Speaker 1: for a super bloom. Deep down, he knew that God 238 00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:19,560 Speaker 1: was up to something. One morning, the Pharaoh had a 239 00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:23,560 Speaker 1: dream that he didn't understand. The butler told the Pharaoh 240 00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:27,880 Speaker 1: that Joseph could interpret dreams. The scripture says they sent 241 00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:32,840 Speaker 1: word for Joseph to come quickly to the palace. Joseph 242 00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:36,040 Speaker 1: woke up that morning in prison, thinking it was another 243 00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:39,440 Speaker 1: ordinary day, but suddenly he was headed to the palace. 244 00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:42,960 Speaker 1: You may be in a dry season, but God can 245 00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:47,480 Speaker 1: quickly turn things around. Thoughts will tell you it'll take 246 00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:50,680 Speaker 1: years to get out of this mess, years to get healthy, 247 00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:53,320 Speaker 1: years to get out of debt, years to meet the 248 00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:57,520 Speaker 1: right person. No one touch of God's favor, one good break, 249 00:15:57,560 --> 00:16:01,960 Speaker 1: one phone call, one divine connection, and suddenly things will change. 250 00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:06,320 Speaker 1: When Joseph interpreted the Pharaoh's dream, he was so impressed 251 00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:10,440 Speaker 1: he made Joseph the prime minister of Egypt. Notice how 252 00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:14,280 Speaker 1: it happened. Joseph had the dream that seed was in him. 253 00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:17,680 Speaker 1: Then he went through a dry season, a long drought. 254 00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:22,560 Speaker 1: Then the excessive rain came trouble, betrayal. It was unfair, 255 00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:26,280 Speaker 1: but he just kept being his best. He didn't understand it, 256 00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:29,320 Speaker 1: but he kept doing the right thing. Then he came 257 00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:34,320 Speaker 1: in to a super bloom, favor he'd never imagine influence, 258 00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:39,840 Speaker 1: honored resources. We all go through these dry seasons where 259 00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:43,080 Speaker 1: it's taken longer than we thought, feels like God has 260 00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:46,880 Speaker 1: forgotten about us. But that dry season is all a 261 00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:50,600 Speaker 1: part of his process. What you can't see is he's 262 00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:54,520 Speaker 1: working behind the scenes, weeding out things that would stop 263 00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:58,920 Speaker 1: your harvest, moving the wrong people out, clearing away any 264 00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:03,560 Speaker 1: debris in weeds, any hindrance. It's getting you prepared for 265 00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:08,080 Speaker 1: what's coming. The rain, the opposition, the bad breaks. It 266 00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:11,480 Speaker 1: wasn't fair. It feels like it's setting you back, but 267 00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:15,680 Speaker 1: really it's setting you up. That rain is going down 268 00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:19,000 Speaker 1: deep on the seeds that God planted in your heart. 269 00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:24,359 Speaker 1: It's watering the dreams, the goals, the prayers, those desires. 270 00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:28,960 Speaker 1: And yes it's uncomfortable, but the truth is the conditions 271 00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:34,120 Speaker 1: are just right for a super bloom, for something uncommon, unusual. 272 00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:38,280 Speaker 1: It's going to happen quickly. You didn't see it coming. 273 00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:41,400 Speaker 1: There was no sign of it. Then the Pharaoah calls, 274 00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:45,880 Speaker 1: the medical report improves, your child gets the scholarship, your 275 00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:49,040 Speaker 1: business takes off. You meet the person of your dreams. 276 00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:52,720 Speaker 1: Now you may be in a dry season. Now things 277 00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:57,120 Speaker 1: are not changing. You're dealing with loneliness, problem at were 278 00:17:57,480 --> 00:18:00,840 Speaker 1: struggling in your finances. You could ease he lives sour, 279 00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:04,439 Speaker 1: give up on your dreams. Think nothing good is in 280 00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:07,879 Speaker 1: your future. No, God is saying to you today, a 281 00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:11,920 Speaker 1: super bloom is coming. Seeds that you thought were dead 282 00:18:12,200 --> 00:18:15,520 Speaker 1: are coming back to life. Prayers that your loved ones 283 00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:19,240 Speaker 1: prayed are going to be answered through you. You're about 284 00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:23,119 Speaker 1: to blossom us. You're about to flourish, to see new growth, 285 00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:28,800 Speaker 1: new relationships, greater influence, greater favor. Now, do like Joseph. 286 00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:32,920 Speaker 1: Keep doing the right thing when it's hard. Keep being 287 00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:35,720 Speaker 1: good to people that are not good to you. Keep 288 00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:39,640 Speaker 1: praising in the dry seasons. Keep thanking God even when 289 00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:44,200 Speaker 1: there's excessive brain. He sees your faithfulness. He's not going 290 00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:47,080 Speaker 1: to just bring you out. We'd be grateful if we 291 00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:49,119 Speaker 1: just got through it. But he's going to make the 292 00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:55,040 Speaker 1: enemy pay. He's going to bring out better, increase, promoted, healthier, halfier, 293 00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:58,680 Speaker 1: at a new level of your destiny. Get this down 294 00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:03,120 Speaker 1: in your spirit. Super bloom season, dreams coming to pass, 295 00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:07,800 Speaker 1: opportunities finding you, good breaks, chasing you down, the right, 296 00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:10,720 Speaker 1: people knocking at your door. God's going to cause you 297 00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:14,480 Speaker 1: to shine, to stand out, to come from the background 298 00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:17,840 Speaker 1: to the foreground, from not enough to more than enough, 299 00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:21,280 Speaker 1: from lonely to fulfilled from let me make it through 300 00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:24,120 Speaker 1: to who would have ever thought I would be this blessed, 301 00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:30,040 Speaker 1: this happy, this fulfilled. Here's what I'm saying. Excessive rain 302 00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:34,800 Speaker 1: is a sign that excessive blessings are coming. A super 303 00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:38,600 Speaker 1: dry season is a sign that supernatural favor is on 304 00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:42,240 Speaker 1: the way. Don't let the rain fool you. Don't let 305 00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:45,840 Speaker 1: the heartache, the loss, the delays convince you that you've 306 00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:49,640 Speaker 1: seen your best days. God wouldn't have allowed it if 307 00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:52,600 Speaker 1: he wasn't going to use it for your good. Not 308 00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:55,800 Speaker 1: just cause you to bloom, but how about super bloom 309 00:19:56,160 --> 00:20:00,480 Speaker 1: that's out of the ordinary, that's abundance, that's overflowed, something 310 00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:04,320 Speaker 1: that causes people to stop to notice. How did you 311 00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:07,439 Speaker 1: get well after the medical report said you were done? 312 00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:10,680 Speaker 1: Just tell them I came into a super bloom. God 313 00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:13,880 Speaker 1: did what medicine could not do. How did you get 314 00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:16,480 Speaker 1: out of debt? How can you live in that neighborhood? 315 00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:18,800 Speaker 1: I saw how you grew up. Yes, the odds were 316 00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:21,919 Speaker 1: against me, but I had a super bloom above and 317 00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:26,200 Speaker 1: beyond favor, the open windows of heaven blessings I could 318 00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:30,439 Speaker 1: not contain. Or how are your children doing such great things? 319 00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:34,120 Speaker 1: They used to be off course, running with the wrong crowd. Yes, 320 00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:37,440 Speaker 1: but we saw a super bloom, the goodness of God 321 00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:40,480 Speaker 1: lifting them out of that pit, setting their feet on 322 00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:44,000 Speaker 1: the rock, putting a new song in their heart. I 323 00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:46,920 Speaker 1: don't believe you would be hearing this if you weren't 324 00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:50,160 Speaker 1: on a verge of a super bloom. You are close 325 00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:53,960 Speaker 1: to seeing God do something that you've never seen, catapulting 326 00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:57,960 Speaker 1: you to a new level opportunity bigger than you've imagined, 327 00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:02,800 Speaker 1: resources that you never you would handle, negative situations that 328 00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:07,720 Speaker 1: look impossible suddenly turning around. Well, Joel, this sounds good, 329 00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:09,879 Speaker 1: but I don't see how it could happen for me. 330 00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:12,480 Speaker 1: I haven't had a good break in twenty seven years. 331 00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:16,080 Speaker 1: Where you're way overdue. That dry season is one of 332 00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:20,480 Speaker 1: the conditions. Don't count yourself out. God has already counted 333 00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:25,920 Speaker 1: you in. He's already scheduled your super bloom. Well, I'd 334 00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:28,560 Speaker 1: like to believe, but man, I'm having all these problems. 335 00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:31,560 Speaker 1: When it rains, it pours. That's one of the conditions. 336 00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:35,000 Speaker 1: You're in perfect position for God to show out in 337 00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:39,240 Speaker 1: your life. The scripture says God has ordered our steps. 338 00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:42,119 Speaker 1: How do you know that God has not ordered you 339 00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:44,920 Speaker 1: to be there? So he can get you in position 340 00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:49,080 Speaker 1: to do something you've never seen, not just bring you out, 341 00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:53,000 Speaker 1: but bring you into a super bloom catapult. You ahead 342 00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:57,160 Speaker 1: bring dreams to pass that you've given up on. Why 343 00:21:57,160 --> 00:22:00,439 Speaker 1: don't you be a believer and not a doubter? Are 344 00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:03,159 Speaker 1: a dime a dozen? It's easy to say this is 345 00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:06,160 Speaker 1: not for me. God is looking for people who will 346 00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:09,280 Speaker 1: dare say yes, I'm in a dry season, yes I 347 00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:12,120 Speaker 1: have excessive rain, but I know this is not how 348 00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:15,840 Speaker 1: my story ends. A super bloom is coming. God, show 349 00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:20,439 Speaker 1: out in my life. Surprise me with your favor. You 350 00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:22,959 Speaker 1: look at all the bad breaks in Joseph's life and 351 00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:26,040 Speaker 1: you realize they had to happen. It was all a 352 00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:29,240 Speaker 1: part of God's plan to get him into leadership in 353 00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:33,480 Speaker 1: a foreign country. His brothers had to be jealous. They 354 00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:36,000 Speaker 1: had to throw him into a pit. He had to 355 00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:39,600 Speaker 1: go through that dry season, the lonely nights, he had 356 00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:43,000 Speaker 1: to have all the rain. Potiphar's wife had to falsely 357 00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:46,320 Speaker 1: accuse him, he had to be put in prison. It 358 00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:50,119 Speaker 1: was all leading him to his purpose. What am I saying? 359 00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:54,600 Speaker 1: Don't fight everything you don't like, don't live bitter over 360 00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:57,639 Speaker 1: the people that did you wrong, the door that closed, 361 00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:00,720 Speaker 1: the company that pushed you out. It may not have 362 00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:04,159 Speaker 1: been fair, and yes it was painful, but God wouldn't 363 00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:07,120 Speaker 1: have allowed it if it was going to stop your purpose. 364 00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:10,800 Speaker 1: There are things that we're not going to understand along 365 00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:13,919 Speaker 1: the way. You have to trust that God knows what 366 00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:17,640 Speaker 1: he's doing, that he's working out his plan for your life. 367 00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:20,879 Speaker 1: His plan is bigger than yours. His plan is greater. 368 00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:24,760 Speaker 1: There are levels that you cannot reach without going through 369 00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:28,879 Speaker 1: a dry season, without opposition, things that are not fair. 370 00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:33,160 Speaker 1: That's all leading you to a super bloom, to greatness, 371 00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:37,639 Speaker 1: to promotion, to influence, things that you've never imagined. And 372 00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:40,560 Speaker 1: I'm not saying to accept the trouble and accept the 373 00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:45,359 Speaker 1: sickness and live in mediocrity. I'm saying, stay in peace, 374 00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:49,640 Speaker 1: live from a place of rest. You can't make everyone 375 00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:53,119 Speaker 1: like you, make everything go your way. That's going to 376 00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:56,520 Speaker 1: frustrate you. Some of the things we're trying to pray 377 00:23:56,560 --> 00:24:00,480 Speaker 1: away is the hand of God. Joseph could have prayed, God, 378 00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:04,320 Speaker 1: change my brother's mind, caused them to not be jealous, 379 00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:07,320 Speaker 1: cause them to like me. He would have missed his destiny. 380 00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:10,280 Speaker 1: They had to be jealous. They had to throw him 381 00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:13,240 Speaker 1: into that pit to get him to Egypt. He could 382 00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:15,879 Speaker 1: have prayed, God, don't let them believe this lady that 383 00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:19,520 Speaker 1: lied about me. God vindicate me. She had to lie. 384 00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:22,800 Speaker 1: She had to falsely accuse him so he would get 385 00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:26,320 Speaker 1: to the prison to meet the butler and interpret his 386 00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:30,040 Speaker 1: dream so the butler could tell the Pharaoh about Joseph. 387 00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:34,520 Speaker 1: The dry season. The trouble was all a part of 388 00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:39,080 Speaker 1: God's plan. The scripture says, nothing can snatch you out 389 00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:43,120 Speaker 1: of God's hands. The longer I live, the more peaceful 390 00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:46,359 Speaker 1: I am, the more joyful I am. The truth is, 391 00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:50,000 Speaker 1: the longer I live, the more opposition I have, the 392 00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:54,440 Speaker 1: more rain comes. As God promotes you, there's bigger adversaries. 393 00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:57,760 Speaker 1: I stay in peace, knowing that it's all leading to 394 00:24:57,840 --> 00:25:02,080 Speaker 1: a super bloom. God's plans for you are for good. 395 00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:05,879 Speaker 1: The scripture says, you will live a flourishing life, but 396 00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:07,960 Speaker 1: on the way to the good, there's going to be 397 00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:12,040 Speaker 1: some bad, some trouble, some delays, things we don't understand. 398 00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:15,720 Speaker 1: You'll save yourself a lot of heartache if you'll learn 399 00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:19,080 Speaker 1: to trust Him in the trouble. Stay in peace in 400 00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:23,359 Speaker 1: the dry seasons, to not be frustrated by the jealous people, 401 00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:27,639 Speaker 1: the betrayals, the situations that are not fair. All those 402 00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:31,840 Speaker 1: things are leading you to favor, to influence, to resources 403 00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:36,200 Speaker 1: that you would have never seen without them happening. After 404 00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:39,840 Speaker 1: Joseph became the prime minister, his brothers came to the 405 00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:43,280 Speaker 1: palace looking for food, and when they realized it was Joseph, 406 00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:46,199 Speaker 1: of course they were shocked. He said to them in 407 00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:50,720 Speaker 1: Genesis fifty, what you meant for harm, God intended for good. 408 00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:54,560 Speaker 1: He was saying, you meant it to stop me, But 409 00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:57,399 Speaker 1: God was using you like a pond to get me 410 00:25:57,480 --> 00:26:00,600 Speaker 1: in position so I could see my dream come to pass. 411 00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:04,800 Speaker 1: If Joseph we're here today, he would tell you, stay 412 00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:08,879 Speaker 1: in peace, don't fight the trouble, don't get discouraged in 413 00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:12,640 Speaker 1: the dry seasons. God knows what he's doing when it's 414 00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:16,439 Speaker 1: your time. All the forces of darkness cannot stop what 415 00:26:16,560 --> 00:26:20,399 Speaker 1: God has ordained for you, the promotion, the vindication, the honor, 416 00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:24,199 Speaker 1: the breakthroughs. You may be in a dry season, but 417 00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:27,600 Speaker 1: that's not where you're staying. You may have trouble all 418 00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:30,960 Speaker 1: around excessive rain, but that's not the end of the story. 419 00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:35,639 Speaker 1: Those are the perfect conditions for a super bloom. God 420 00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:38,520 Speaker 1: is setting you up to do something that you've never seen. 421 00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:42,920 Speaker 1: Instead of complaining about the rain being discouraged over the 422 00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:47,280 Speaker 1: dry season, try a different approach. God, trust you, I 423 00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:49,960 Speaker 1: know this rain is for a purpose. I know this 424 00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:53,399 Speaker 1: dry season is leading me to a super bloom. Lord, 425 00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:56,040 Speaker 1: I thank you that my best days are still out 426 00:26:56,080 --> 00:26:59,240 Speaker 1: in front of me. If you'll do this, I believe 427 00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:03,560 Speaker 1: and declare, like Joseph, You're gonna see some Suddenly. God 428 00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:08,320 Speaker 1: suddenly opened doors, suddenly promote you, suddenly turn things around. 429 00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:12,000 Speaker 1: You're about to blossom, to go to new levels, to 430 00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:15,840 Speaker 1: accomplish dreams bigger than your thought, to reach the fullness 431 00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:20,080 Speaker 1: of your destiny. In Jesus's name, And if you receive it, 432 00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:24,719 Speaker 1: can you say amen, I'd like to give you an 433 00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:28,440 Speaker 1: opportunity to make Jesus the lord of your life. Would 434 00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:32,439 Speaker 1: you pray with me, just say, Lord, Jesus, I repent 435 00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:36,280 Speaker 1: of my sins, Come into my heart. I make you 436 00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:40,040 Speaker 1: my Lord and Savior. If you prayed that simple prayer, 437 00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:43,000 Speaker 1: we believe you got born again. We'd love to send 438 00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:45,399 Speaker 1: you some new information on your walk with the Lord. 439 00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:47,959 Speaker 1: You can text the number onto the screen or go 440 00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:50,639 Speaker 1: to the website. But I hope you'll get into a 441 00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:55,600 Speaker 1: good Bible based church and keep God first place. Sometimes 442 00:27:55,600 --> 00:27:59,320 Speaker 1: in life, people don't choose us. We've all felt overlooked, 443 00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:02,679 Speaker 1: like we're not good enough. It's easy to live inferior. 444 00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:05,720 Speaker 1: Think you we don't measure up. People may have left 445 00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:08,760 Speaker 1: you out.
