But thanks for tuning in, 31 00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:33,600 Speaker 4: Thanks again for coming out. I like to start with 32 00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:36,360 Speaker 4: something funny, and I heard about this college professor. 33 00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:38,920 Speaker 3: He told his students he was going to prove that 34 00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:41,800 Speaker 3: there is no God. He said, God, if you're real, 35 00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:45,800 Speaker 3: knock me off this platform. I'll give you fifteen minutes 36 00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:46,240 Speaker 3: to do it. 37 00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:49,480 Speaker 4: With every minute that went by, he kept taunting God, 38 00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:50,560 Speaker 4: Say here I am God. 39 00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:51,480 Speaker 3: I'm still waiting. 40 00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:55,880 Speaker 4: About that time, a three hundred pound football player walking 41 00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:59,240 Speaker 4: down the hall overheard what he was saying in there, 42 00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:02,920 Speaker 4: put his shoulder down. He knocked that professor flying off 43 00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:06,440 Speaker 4: that platform. The professor got up in a daze and said, 44 00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:08,760 Speaker 4: what in the world did you do that for? The 45 00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:11,880 Speaker 4: player replied, God said he was busy, so he sent me. 46 00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:16,760 Speaker 4: All right, hold up your Bible. Say it like you 47 00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:19,960 Speaker 4: mean it. This is my Bible. I am what it 48 00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:22,560 Speaker 4: says I am. I have what it says I have. 49 00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:25,880 Speaker 4: I can do what it says I can do. Today 50 00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:28,919 Speaker 4: I will be taught the word of God. I boldly 51 00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:33,520 Speaker 4: confess my mind is alert, my heart is receptive. I 52 00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:37,680 Speaker 4: will never be the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you. 53 00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:41,160 Speaker 4: I want to talk to you today about walking in 54 00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:44,840 Speaker 4: the fullness of the blessing. Every one of us, as 55 00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:47,600 Speaker 4: God's children, has what the scripture. 56 00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:48,400 Speaker 3: Calls the blessing. 57 00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:53,480 Speaker 4: It's an empowerment, a divine enablement to accomplish our God 58 00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:57,919 Speaker 4: given dreams. The blessing is really God's favor on your life. 59 00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:01,959 Speaker 4: It's when he's breathing in your direction. When you walk 60 00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:06,680 Speaker 4: in the blessing, you make good decisions, you see supernatural opportunities, 61 00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:10,440 Speaker 4: the right people come across your path, and you realize 62 00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:13,600 Speaker 4: it's not your own strength, it's not your own ability. 63 00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:17,560 Speaker 4: It's the blessing of God on your life. And we've 64 00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:21,520 Speaker 4: all experienced a measure of this blessing We've seen a 65 00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:25,240 Speaker 4: measure of God's favor, but there is a level of 66 00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:29,000 Speaker 4: blessing God is going to release in your life like 67 00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:33,359 Speaker 4: nothing you've ever seen before. The Apostle Paul said in Romans, 68 00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:37,320 Speaker 4: I will come in the fullness of the blessing. That 69 00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:41,320 Speaker 4: word fullness means to the highest degree, the greatest measure. 70 00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:44,600 Speaker 4: You may say, well, Joel, God has blessed me. I've 71 00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:46,440 Speaker 4: got a good family, I've got a good job, I 72 00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:49,280 Speaker 4: live in a nice house. That's great. But God is 73 00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:53,240 Speaker 4: saying you haven't seen anything yet. You haven't touched the 74 00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:56,640 Speaker 4: surface of what God has in store. You've walked in 75 00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:59,840 Speaker 4: a measure of that blessing. But God has a much 76 00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:04,360 Speaker 4: greater measure. He has promotion lined up for you that 77 00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:07,120 Speaker 4: if He showed you right now, it boggle your mind. 78 00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:11,080 Speaker 4: God has opportunities in your future that are going to 79 00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:14,800 Speaker 4: amaze you. He's going to bring people across your path 80 00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:17,520 Speaker 4: to where you look back and say that had to 81 00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:20,560 Speaker 4: be the hand of God. What am I saying? What 82 00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:24,240 Speaker 4: you've seen in the past is a tiny fraction of 83 00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:27,320 Speaker 4: what God is going to do in the future. If 84 00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:29,839 Speaker 4: you would have told me when I was in my twenties, 85 00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:34,400 Speaker 4: sitting here at the Compact Center watching the Rockets play basketball, 86 00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:37,400 Speaker 4: that one day this would be our facility. 87 00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:40,720 Speaker 3: I would have said, what planet have you been living on? 88 00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:45,839 Speaker 4: That was so much bigger, so far beyond anything I 89 00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:48,880 Speaker 4: could even imagine. If you would have told me just 90 00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:52,960 Speaker 4: ten years ago, when I was working behind the scenes here, 91 00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:57,600 Speaker 4: never ministered before, quiet and reserved, that one day I 92 00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:00,880 Speaker 4: would be a minister. One day I would be on television, 93 00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:03,680 Speaker 4: I would write books, go all over the world. I 94 00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:06,800 Speaker 4: would have said, your elevator doesn't go all the way up. 95 00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:10,440 Speaker 4: I didn't think this was in me, But one thing 96 00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:15,680 Speaker 4: I've learned is God likes to outdo himself. God's dream 97 00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:18,640 Speaker 4: for your life is so much bigger than your own. 98 00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:22,039 Speaker 4: God is going to take you places that you've never 99 00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:25,280 Speaker 4: thought possible. He is going to open up doors that 100 00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:28,560 Speaker 4: you've never imagined. He's going to bring talent out of 101 00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:31,599 Speaker 4: you that you didn't even know you had. This is 102 00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:35,080 Speaker 4: the time to get excited about your future. It's time 103 00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:38,760 Speaker 4: to get your hopes up. You are not here by accident. 104 00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:42,760 Speaker 4: You have been chosen by the creator of the universe. 105 00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:47,760 Speaker 4: Your destiny is not determined by the economy or how. 106 00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:49,440 Speaker 3: You were raised or your education. 107 00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:54,160 Speaker 4: Your destiny is determined by Almighty God. And the good 108 00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:58,279 Speaker 4: news is God has already laid out a life of 109 00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:01,920 Speaker 4: victory for every one of you, whether you realize it 110 00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:06,200 Speaker 4: or not, even right now. Because you're honoring God, he 111 00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:09,680 Speaker 4: is arranging things in your favor. He is lining up 112 00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:16,159 Speaker 4: new ideas, new opportunities, promotion increase. In the days ahead. 113 00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:19,560 Speaker 4: You're gonna like stumble into it. You're gonna look up 114 00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:22,360 Speaker 4: like I did and think, how in the world did 115 00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:25,680 Speaker 4: I end up here. I didn't have the experience, didn't 116 00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:28,400 Speaker 4: have the connections, didn't have the funds. All I can 117 00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:31,599 Speaker 4: say is, look what the Lord has done in my life. 118 00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:37,200 Speaker 3: What happened? You tapped in to a greater measure of 119 00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:37,880 Speaker 3: that blessing. 120 00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:41,760 Speaker 4: But some of you today you're not releasing your faith 121 00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:46,279 Speaker 4: for this fullness. It's easy to get satisfied and think, well, Joel, 122 00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:48,760 Speaker 4: i am blessed. I've got a roof over my head, 123 00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:51,679 Speaker 4: I've got money to pay my bills, and that's good. 124 00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:56,120 Speaker 4: But that's not God's best. God is a god of abundance. 125 00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:59,200 Speaker 4: He wants you to not only have enough for your needs, 126 00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:02,080 Speaker 4: but to have so much left over you can be 127 00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:05,320 Speaker 4: a blessing to somebody else, and we need to go beyond. 128 00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:08,200 Speaker 4: I'm blessed because I got food on the table. I'm 129 00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:12,040 Speaker 4: blessed because I've got peace, and that's good. Let's be grateful, 130 00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:16,120 Speaker 4: but don't stop there. The fullness of the blessing is 131 00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:18,680 Speaker 4: when you get up in the morning and say, Wow, God, 132 00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:22,160 Speaker 4: I'm amazed at where you brought me. I'm amazed at 133 00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:25,240 Speaker 4: the family You've given me. I'm amazed at this opportunity, 134 00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:27,360 Speaker 4: I'm amazed at this beautiful house. 135 00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:30,440 Speaker 3: When you stand in amazement. 136 00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:32,840 Speaker 4: Of God's goodness, that's a sign you're tapping into the 137 00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:35,920 Speaker 4: fullness of the blessing. And you may not be there 138 00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:39,760 Speaker 4: just yet. But my encouragement is don't settle where you are. 139 00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:44,240 Speaker 4: You've got to keep your faith stirred up every morning. 140 00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:48,240 Speaker 4: Thank God for the fullness of his blessing. When you 141 00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:52,080 Speaker 4: go out look for God's favor. You are a child 142 00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:56,560 Speaker 4: of the most High God. God is a god of overflow. 143 00:07:57,040 --> 00:07:59,800 Speaker 4: He is not a barely get by God. He is 144 00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:03,680 Speaker 4: a more than enough God. What he has laid out 145 00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:07,360 Speaker 4: for your future is more than you can imagine. What 146 00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:10,880 Speaker 4: he's got arranged for your family is more than you've 147 00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:14,760 Speaker 4: ever even dreamed of. In the coming days, you're gonna 148 00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:18,760 Speaker 4: see supernatural doors begin to open. You're gonna see promotion 149 00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:22,240 Speaker 4: like you've not seen before. God is going to bring 150 00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:26,360 Speaker 4: people across your path that, for no apparent reason, will 151 00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:28,640 Speaker 4: want to be good to you, people that will help 152 00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:30,080 Speaker 4: you fulfill your dreams. 153 00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:32,640 Speaker 3: You're gonna have extraordinary wisdom. 154 00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:35,400 Speaker 4: You're gonna tap into ability that you didn't even know 155 00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:39,840 Speaker 4: you had. You're gonna walk in the fullness of this blessing. Well, 156 00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:42,199 Speaker 4: you say, Joel, I don't believe that's gonna happen for me. 157 00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:45,440 Speaker 4: I don't believe I'm gonna rise any higher. Then this 158 00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:48,600 Speaker 4: is not for you. This is for believers. This is 159 00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:50,960 Speaker 4: for people that will let the seed take through. 160 00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:55,160 Speaker 3: No matter where you are. 161 00:08:55,920 --> 00:08:58,000 Speaker 4: You need to dig your heels in and say, with 162 00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:01,840 Speaker 4: the apostle Paul, I'm not saying here, I'm gonna become 163 00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:04,040 Speaker 4: everything God's created me to be. 164 00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:06,560 Speaker 3: I'm gonna walk in the fullness of his blessing. 165 00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:10,880 Speaker 4: The scripture talks about how God will give us houses 166 00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:15,120 Speaker 4: that we didn't build, vineyards that we didn't plant. That 167 00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:19,000 Speaker 4: simply means if you'll keep God first place and honor 168 00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:22,400 Speaker 4: him with your life. God will give you favor that 169 00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:25,120 Speaker 4: you didn't have to work for. God will give you 170 00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:29,319 Speaker 4: promotion even though you weren't the most qualified. He'll release 171 00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:33,520 Speaker 4: extraordinary blessings simply because you're His child. 172 00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:36,360 Speaker 3: You need to get this down in your spirit. It 173 00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:38,760 Speaker 3: is going to be a supernatural year. 174 00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:43,440 Speaker 4: God is going to unleash his favor in unprecedented ways. 175 00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:47,280 Speaker 4: You may have had victories in your past, but your 176 00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:50,800 Speaker 4: greatest victories are still in your future. What God has 177 00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:53,880 Speaker 4: done in the past is going to peale in comparison 178 00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:55,760 Speaker 4: to what God is about to do. 179 00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:57,720 Speaker 3: You might as well get ready. 180 00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:00,480 Speaker 4: There is going to be a great outpouring of God's 181 00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:02,000 Speaker 4: goodness like nothing. 182 00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:03,040 Speaker 3: We've ever seen before. 183 00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:06,760 Speaker 4: You and I are living at the right time, We 184 00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:10,040 Speaker 4: are at the right place, We're in the right family. 185 00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:13,920 Speaker 4: As long as we continue to be people of excellence 186 00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:17,960 Speaker 4: and integrity, then nothing that's happened in the past, nor 187 00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:21,120 Speaker 4: nothing that will happen in the future, can stop this 188 00:10:21,240 --> 00:10:25,960 Speaker 4: blessing from coming our way. Well, you see, Joel, I 189 00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:28,319 Speaker 4: don't see how you can say that. With the economy 190 00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:30,920 Speaker 4: like it is, all the experts are saying it's going 191 00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:33,760 Speaker 4: to get worse before it gets better. That may be 192 00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:36,680 Speaker 4: true in general, but it doesn't have to be true 193 00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:39,520 Speaker 4: for you and me. We are connected to a supply 194 00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:44,640 Speaker 4: line that will never run dry. God said, your life 195 00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:49,559 Speaker 4: will not wither, and whatever you touch will prosper. Don't 196 00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:52,640 Speaker 4: be talked into having a bad year. The economy is 197 00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:56,480 Speaker 4: not our source. God is our source. And God wants 198 00:10:56,480 --> 00:11:00,800 Speaker 4: to bless you beyond your salary. He wants to bless 199 00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:05,720 Speaker 4: you beyond your normal income. God likes to do unusual things. 200 00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:10,040 Speaker 4: He can bless you with what I call an explosive blessing. 201 00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:15,360 Speaker 4: That means, all of a sudden, unexpectedly, out of the blue, 202 00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:20,680 Speaker 4: you get an inheritance, or a debt is canceled, a 203 00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:25,320 Speaker 4: business takes off, a new client searches you out. An 204 00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:29,199 Speaker 4: explosive blessing takes you to a new level. It blasts 205 00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:33,240 Speaker 4: away old limitations, and suddenly you find yourself further than 206 00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:36,640 Speaker 4: you ever dreamed. Had a gentleman tell me just last 207 00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:39,600 Speaker 4: week how he got a check in the mail, an 208 00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:43,520 Speaker 4: inheritance from someone he didn't even know he was related to. 209 00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:46,760 Speaker 4: That one check put him in his family at a 210 00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:47,520 Speaker 4: whole new level. 211 00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:50,000 Speaker 3: What was it? An explosive blessing? 212 00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:53,280 Speaker 4: I don't know about you, but I'm believing this year 213 00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:57,480 Speaker 4: I'm going to see more of these explosive blessings. We 214 00:11:57,520 --> 00:12:03,720 Speaker 4: should pray God bless me to a new level. God 215 00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:06,800 Speaker 4: blessed me out of these limitations that are holding me back. 216 00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:10,640 Speaker 4: I have some friends that own property out in the country. 217 00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:13,920 Speaker 4: They've had it for years and years, hardly paid anything 218 00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:14,280 Speaker 4: for it. 219 00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:16,000 Speaker 3: It's way out in the middle of nowhere. 220 00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:19,920 Speaker 4: But several months ago the state informed them that they're 221 00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:22,360 Speaker 4: putting a new freeway in and is going to. 222 00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:23,840 Speaker 3: Go right through their property. 223 00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:27,240 Speaker 4: They not only sold part of it for a huge 224 00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:30,600 Speaker 4: profit to the state, but now three or four developers 225 00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:34,480 Speaker 4: are bidding over the rest of that property. Overnight, it 226 00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:38,199 Speaker 4: went from being worth nothing to being extremely valuable. 227 00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:39,480 Speaker 3: Think about it. 228 00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:43,120 Speaker 4: God knew all along where the freeway was going to go. 229 00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:44,640 Speaker 3: God had it all planned out. 230 00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:49,800 Speaker 4: Then suddenly, unexpectedly, things fell into place. A single parent 231 00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:54,400 Speaker 4: mom told how a local hospital forgave a fifty seven 232 00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:58,559 Speaker 4: thousand dollars debt for her child's surgery and explosive blessing. 233 00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:02,000 Speaker 4: A young man and told how the college he wanted 234 00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:06,080 Speaker 4: to attend didn't have any more scholarships. He applied, but 235 00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:09,200 Speaker 4: they turned him down. He was very discouraged. He didn't 236 00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:11,800 Speaker 4: have the funds to go on his own. Three weeks 237 00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:14,559 Speaker 4: before school started, he got a call back from the 238 00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:18,920 Speaker 4: university saying something had changed. Instead of offering him the 239 00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:22,679 Speaker 4: two year partial scholarship that he'd applied for, they said, 240 00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:26,280 Speaker 4: We've got a four year total scholarship for you. Just 241 00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:30,800 Speaker 4: one phone call, one touch of God's favor, one explosive blessing. 242 00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:36,160 Speaker 4: Now when he graduates, instead of having tens of thousands 243 00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:40,439 Speaker 4: of dollars to pay back, he'll graduate totally free. Why 244 00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:43,600 Speaker 4: don't you start believing for some of these explosive blessings, 245 00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:47,600 Speaker 4: blessings that will thrust you to a new level. Paul 246 00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:51,600 Speaker 4: said in Ephesians Too, in the ages to come, we 247 00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:58,160 Speaker 4: would see the immeasurable, unlimited, surpassing greatness of God's favor. 248 00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:01,680 Speaker 4: In other words, he said, we will see far and 249 00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:06,360 Speaker 4: beyond favor, favor like people have never seen before. You 250 00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:08,960 Speaker 4: think about what God has done in the past. He 251 00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:12,280 Speaker 4: parted the Red Sea, one time, God stopped the sun 252 00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:16,240 Speaker 4: for Joshua. You remember how Jesus fed thousands with just 253 00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:19,560 Speaker 4: a little boy's lunch. All kinds of great miracles have 254 00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:24,040 Speaker 4: taken place. Yet Paul is saying in the ages to come, 255 00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:28,720 Speaker 4: God would do things that far supersede anything he's ever 256 00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:29,360 Speaker 4: done before. 257 00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:34,000 Speaker 3: Think about this. Paul wrote this ages ago. 258 00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:36,760 Speaker 4: I believe the age is to come that he's talking 259 00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:40,960 Speaker 4: about is the day we're living in today. We need 260 00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:45,640 Speaker 4: to start believing for this far and beyond favor. Don't 261 00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:49,880 Speaker 4: go year after year expecting the same thing the same way. 262 00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:54,680 Speaker 4: God is a god of increase. He has greater levels. 263 00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:59,640 Speaker 4: Where you are is not where you're supposed to stay. Well, God, 264 00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:02,000 Speaker 4: you know what the economy's like. If you'll just help 265 00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:03,200 Speaker 4: me scrape by these. 266 00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:03,880 Speaker 3: Next two years. 267 00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:08,120 Speaker 4: Now, that is a limited mindset. God created you as 268 00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:11,320 Speaker 4: the head and not the tail. He said you would 269 00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:16,080 Speaker 4: lend and not borrow. He is called Elshadday, the God 270 00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:19,080 Speaker 4: who is more than enough. You have got to get 271 00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:24,240 Speaker 4: rid of little dreams, little ideas, little plans. Keep a 272 00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:27,760 Speaker 4: God sized vision in front of you. God wants to 273 00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:31,880 Speaker 4: show every one of you the surpassing greatness of his favor. 274 00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:35,240 Speaker 3: He can give you one idea that will take you 275 00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:36,040 Speaker 3: to a new level. 276 00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:39,200 Speaker 4: He can cause you to meet one person that will 277 00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:42,840 Speaker 4: change your life for the better forever. Dare to believe 278 00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:47,040 Speaker 4: for this limitless favor. That's what a gentleman did by 279 00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:48,360 Speaker 4: the name of Truet Kathy. 280 00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:50,960 Speaker 3: In nineteen forty six, he and. 281 00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:55,040 Speaker 4: His brother opened a small restaurant in Atlanta. He noticed 282 00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:59,720 Speaker 4: how everybody loved hamburgers. Hamburgers were the rage. One day, 283 00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:02,680 Speaker 4: God give him an idea. He thought, if everyone likes 284 00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:06,200 Speaker 4: hamburger so much, I wonder how they would like a 285 00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:09,320 Speaker 4: chicken burger. So instead of putting the beef in there, 286 00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:13,400 Speaker 4: he put chicken in there. Nineteen sixty seven, he opened 287 00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:15,400 Speaker 4: up his first fast food restaurant. 288 00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:19,760 Speaker 3: He called it Chick fil A. God bless him. It grew. 289 00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:23,280 Speaker 4: Today there are nearly fourteen hundred Chick fil Ays in 290 00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:27,200 Speaker 4: thirty seven states. True at Kathy and his family, they 291 00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:30,240 Speaker 4: give millions of dollars to help people around the world. 292 00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:34,000 Speaker 4: That's just one idea that God gave him, just a 293 00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:38,200 Speaker 4: little insight. It says in Proverbs that God will give 294 00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:42,560 Speaker 4: his people witty inventions. Why don't you start believing for 295 00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:46,600 Speaker 4: new ideas, new concepts, new discoveries. 296 00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:50,800 Speaker 3: God has all kinds of inventions just waiting to be released. 297 00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:55,640 Speaker 4: He has businesses just waiting to entrust people with books. 298 00:16:55,760 --> 00:17:00,000 Speaker 4: Just waiting to be written. New technology, new procedures, new medicine. 299 00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:05,400 Speaker 4: We should pray, God give me unusual creativity. God help 300 00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:08,680 Speaker 4: me to be able to see into the future inventions 301 00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:12,360 Speaker 4: to bring you honor. The scripture says it is God 302 00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:15,840 Speaker 4: who gives you the power to get wealth. God can 303 00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:18,800 Speaker 4: give you one idea that if you will act on it, 304 00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:22,120 Speaker 4: it will change the course of your family. You may 305 00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:25,160 Speaker 4: not have it all figured out, that's okay. God does 306 00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:28,040 Speaker 4: you do your part, and God will do his part. 307 00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:31,480 Speaker 4: I want you to start believing that God is going 308 00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:33,160 Speaker 4: to do something great through you. 309 00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:38,400 Speaker 3: God uses ordinary people to do extraordinary things. 310 00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:43,040 Speaker 4: If you have a desire, like Truant Cathy, to not 311 00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:46,320 Speaker 4: only use your resources to bless your family, but to 312 00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:49,240 Speaker 4: make a difference in the world around you, then there's 313 00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:52,199 Speaker 4: no limit to what God will do. And in the 314 00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:55,920 Speaker 4: coming days, there's going to be a transfer of wealth. 315 00:17:56,600 --> 00:18:00,239 Speaker 4: There's going to be a major shifting in finances and 316 00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:03,280 Speaker 4: in large amounts of resources. And some of you think 317 00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:05,919 Speaker 4: this could never happen for you. You don't come from 318 00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:08,240 Speaker 4: the right family, you don't have the right connections. It 319 00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:12,159 Speaker 4: seems very unlikely. But let me remind you you have 320 00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:15,800 Speaker 4: been faithful. You have honored God with your life. You 321 00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:19,960 Speaker 4: have given, you have served, you have helped others. All 322 00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:23,200 Speaker 4: those seeds that you've sown down through the years did 323 00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:29,080 Speaker 4: not go unnoticed. Every act of kindness, every gift, every offering, 324 00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:33,560 Speaker 4: every word of encouragement. God has kept the records. Those 325 00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:38,359 Speaker 4: seeds that you've sown have taken root, they've grown, they've developed. 326 00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:41,560 Speaker 4: Now it's time for you to reap a harvest off 327 00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:45,000 Speaker 4: of your years of faithfulness. Where's it going to come from? 328 00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:49,960 Speaker 4: How's it gonna happen? Proverbs thirteen twenty two. The wealth 329 00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:54,879 Speaker 4: of the ungodly will eventually find its way into the 330 00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:57,360 Speaker 4: hands of the righteous, for whom it's. 331 00:18:57,200 --> 00:19:01,520 Speaker 3: Been laid up for. I love that it's been laid 332 00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:02,120 Speaker 3: up for you. 333 00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:06,720 Speaker 4: As long as you stay in faith, God has promised 334 00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:11,040 Speaker 4: the abundance, the promotion, the funds that already have your 335 00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:16,000 Speaker 4: name on it, They're eventually gonna be transferred over. Just imagine, 336 00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:19,600 Speaker 4: here's someone that doesn't honor God. They don't live a 337 00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:22,879 Speaker 4: life of integrity, they don't think about others. God is saying, 338 00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:26,080 Speaker 4: I'll let them make the money. I'll let them earn 339 00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:28,480 Speaker 4: the funds, but then I'll turn it over to you. 340 00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:32,960 Speaker 4: I'll deposit it into your accounts. Hey, you say, Joel, 341 00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:35,040 Speaker 4: this sounds kind of far out today. 342 00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:39,119 Speaker 3: Yeah, but we serve a far out God. That's why we. 343 00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:42,840 Speaker 4: Should get up every day expecting far and beyond favor. 344 00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:46,200 Speaker 3: Don't go around thinking, oh, man, it's gonna be a 345 00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:46,760 Speaker 3: rough year. 346 00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:50,919 Speaker 4: Business is slow, prices are high. This will probably be 347 00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:53,640 Speaker 4: the year I go under Joel. Now, listen, God said 348 00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:58,439 Speaker 4: he will crown the year with a bountiful harvest. Noice, 349 00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:01,000 Speaker 4: not I'll barely get by harvest. Not to just let 350 00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:05,120 Speaker 4: me survive harvest, but an overflow harvest. And her attitude 351 00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:08,280 Speaker 4: should be this is gonna be a great year. I 352 00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:12,640 Speaker 4: can already sense it. Favor is coming my way. Blessings, 353 00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:17,040 Speaker 4: good ideas, promotion, they already have my name on it, 354 00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:20,560 Speaker 4: and I know, as long as I stay faithful, eventually 355 00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:24,439 Speaker 4: they're gonna find their way into my hands. That's what 356 00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:27,800 Speaker 4: it means when the scripture says God's blessings will chase 357 00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:31,879 Speaker 4: you down and overtake you those blessings. Let me make 358 00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:35,880 Speaker 4: it more practical the funds to accomplish your God given dreams. 359 00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:40,400 Speaker 4: Sooner or later they're gonna catch up to you unexpectedly, 360 00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:46,480 Speaker 4: a promotion, an idea and invention, and inheritance, a new business, 361 00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:50,360 Speaker 4: a supernatural contract. God is going to get into your 362 00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:54,600 Speaker 4: hands everything that belongs to you. The wealth of the 363 00:20:54,720 --> 00:21:00,120 Speaker 4: ungodly has been laid up for the godly. Here's the key. 364 00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:05,439 Speaker 4: Make sure you're in the second group. Make sure you 365 00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:09,040 Speaker 4: are honoring God with your life. Keep your heart pure, 366 00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:13,280 Speaker 4: Let go of any weights or any sins that are 367 00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:17,200 Speaker 4: holding you back. I found most of the time it's 368 00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:19,640 Speaker 4: not the big things that keep us from God's. 369 00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:21,240 Speaker 3: Best, it's just the small things. 370 00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:24,280 Speaker 4: If you're going to get in on this transfer, you've 371 00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:27,600 Speaker 4: got to be a person of excellence and integrity. When 372 00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:30,280 Speaker 4: you go to work, get there on time and give 373 00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:33,800 Speaker 4: it one hundred percent. Treat the people in your life 374 00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:37,879 Speaker 4: with respect and kindness, and don't just look out for yourself. 375 00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:40,320 Speaker 3: Always be a blessing to somebody else. 376 00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:43,320 Speaker 4: If you'll live a life like this, a life that 377 00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:48,400 Speaker 4: pleases God, he promises honor, wealth, and abundance are coming 378 00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:53,080 Speaker 4: your way. I love to meditate on that. Right now, somewhere, 379 00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:56,679 Speaker 4: increase is looking for me. I don't know about you, 380 00:21:56,720 --> 00:21:59,520 Speaker 4: but I've got big dreams. I need this far and 381 00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:04,360 Speaker 4: beyond favor. Victoria and I have dreams of building orphanages 382 00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:08,159 Speaker 4: and children's home feeding hungry people. We've already committed to 383 00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:10,919 Speaker 4: our first girls home. We're in the ground stages of that. 384 00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:14,520 Speaker 4: This costs millions and millions of dollars. But you know what, 385 00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:16,959 Speaker 4: I'm not the least bit worried. I know there are 386 00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:20,160 Speaker 4: funds that are out there that already have my name 387 00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:22,520 Speaker 4: on it. It's just a matter of time before they 388 00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:27,000 Speaker 4: show up. The wealth of the ungodly is going to 389 00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:30,240 Speaker 4: help furnish the dreams of the godly. You need to 390 00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:33,840 Speaker 4: have big goals. We serve a big God. He has 391 00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:38,320 Speaker 4: limitless favor. That means not just enough for me or you. 392 00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:42,800 Speaker 4: He has favor promotion funds for every one of his children. 393 00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:47,000 Speaker 4: For some people in Africa, a new level of increase 394 00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:49,960 Speaker 4: is to have clean drinking water or to own their 395 00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:52,960 Speaker 4: own water well. For others, it's to pay off a house, 396 00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:57,120 Speaker 4: or to have funds to expand a business venture. Whatever 397 00:22:57,160 --> 00:23:01,640 Speaker 4: your dreams are, know this God to do more. He's 398 00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:05,639 Speaker 4: gonna supersize anything you're thinking about. You're not gonna just 399 00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:08,480 Speaker 4: accomplish what's in your heart. God is gonna help you 400 00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:13,560 Speaker 4: supersede anything you've ever imagined. You're gonna be amazed at 401 00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:14,720 Speaker 4: where you end up. 402 00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:15,399 Speaker 3: You don't know. 403 00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:18,480 Speaker 4: God may bless you so much. Just your tithe could 404 00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:22,200 Speaker 4: underwrite our whole budget. God is gonna unleash a new 405 00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:26,760 Speaker 4: wave of funds upon his children. The next time you 406 00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:31,919 Speaker 4: see somebody that's extremely successful, they epitomize wealth and abundance, 407 00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:34,639 Speaker 4: yet they don't have anything to do with the things 408 00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:37,280 Speaker 4: of God. You can just think to yourself, you know 409 00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:40,600 Speaker 4: what they may be working for me. They may be 410 00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:44,160 Speaker 4: earning funds with my name on it. In the scripture, 411 00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:47,960 Speaker 4: God is called the Lord of the Sabboth. That means 412 00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:51,240 Speaker 4: the God who puts his armor on and goes to 413 00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:55,400 Speaker 4: war against those who hold his treasure. 414 00:23:55,359 --> 00:23:56,480 Speaker 3: From his purposes. 415 00:23:57,160 --> 00:24:00,119 Speaker 4: In other words, just imagine God putting his armor on 416 00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:02,879 Speaker 4: and go into the forces of darkness and saying, Okay, 417 00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:04,280 Speaker 4: I'll take those funds. 418 00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:05,720 Speaker 3: I need them for my children. 419 00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:10,119 Speaker 4: I'll take these businesses, these ideas, these contracts, they have 420 00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:14,040 Speaker 4: my children's name on it. Friends, God is fighting your 421 00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:17,800 Speaker 4: battles for you. He has immeasurable favor come. 422 00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:22,000 Speaker 3: In your way. This is not the time to get discouraged. 423 00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:24,000 Speaker 4: It's not the time to say, just help me to 424 00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:25,840 Speaker 4: make it through God the next two years. 425 00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:27,160 Speaker 3: Now this is the time. 426 00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:30,280 Speaker 4: To say, God, I know you have honor and wealth 427 00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:32,760 Speaker 4: laid up for me, So I just want to thank 428 00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:36,840 Speaker 4: you that the surpassing greatness of your favor is coming 429 00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:40,560 Speaker 4: my way. It says in Isaiah that God will give 430 00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:45,200 Speaker 4: us the hidden riches found in secret places. Think about 431 00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:49,000 Speaker 4: God knows where all the hidden riches are. He knows 432 00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:53,040 Speaker 4: where all the oil is, the minerals, the gold, the diamonds. 433 00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:56,119 Speaker 4: He's the one that put them there. I know this couple, 434 00:24:56,320 --> 00:25:00,440 Speaker 4: they recently discovered that they have valuable minerals on their property. 435 00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:03,720 Speaker 4: This company is not only paying them to drill, but 436 00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:05,800 Speaker 4: they're getting ninety percent of the profits. 437 00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:07,600 Speaker 3: I mean, it's like they won the lottery. 438 00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:11,879 Speaker 4: And what's so interesting is that same company had surveyed 439 00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:14,760 Speaker 4: the land some ten years ago, but there was no 440 00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:18,520 Speaker 4: sign of any oil before that couple moved in. But 441 00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:21,280 Speaker 4: this geologist said he had a desire to go back 442 00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:23,560 Speaker 4: and check it again, and this time there was a 443 00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:27,040 Speaker 4: little indication that there might be oil on the property. 444 00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:29,639 Speaker 4: They gave them the rights to drill. Sure enough, they 445 00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:33,080 Speaker 4: struck oil. It looks like there's no end in sight. Well, 446 00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:35,760 Speaker 4: what was it that caused that oil to all the 447 00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:39,359 Speaker 4: sudden show up once that young couple moved in? What 448 00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:41,520 Speaker 4: was it that caused the geologist to want to go 449 00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:43,040 Speaker 4: back and survey the property? 450 00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:45,040 Speaker 3: That was Almighty God. 451 00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:50,399 Speaker 4: Uncovering the hidden riches found in secret places. You don't 452 00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:53,520 Speaker 4: know what you're sitting on, You don't know where God 453 00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:54,240 Speaker 4: is leading you. 454 00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:57,520 Speaker 3: He has hidden treasures for every one of his children. 455 00:25:58,119 --> 00:26:00,680 Speaker 4: I read about a twenty nine year old young man 456 00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:04,959 Speaker 4: plays minor league baseball. Three years ago, he bought a 457 00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:08,879 Speaker 4: fifty acre tract of land from his great aunt just 458 00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:11,240 Speaker 4: so she would have the funds to move into a 459 00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:14,480 Speaker 4: senior citizen's home. He paid fifty thousand dollars for the 460 00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:18,280 Speaker 4: property thousand dollars an acre. It wasn't really worth that much. 461 00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:21,439 Speaker 4: He didn't really need the property. He just did it 462 00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:23,200 Speaker 4: as an act of kindness. 463 00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:24,000 Speaker 3: Toward his aunt. 464 00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:27,200 Speaker 4: One day, he was out clearing a couple of acres, 465 00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:29,919 Speaker 4: digging around on the property, and he kept hitting this 466 00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:33,920 Speaker 4: flat stone every where he went. Right under the surface, 467 00:26:34,040 --> 00:26:37,879 Speaker 4: there was this unusual looking rock. Long story short, he 468 00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:41,359 Speaker 4: called an expert out. They discovered that his property is 469 00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:44,600 Speaker 4: full of something called Ghoshen stone. 470 00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:46,040 Speaker 3: It's some of the most. 471 00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:50,840 Speaker 4: Beautiful and most sought after landscaping stone around. It sells 472 00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:54,320 Speaker 4: for one hundred dollars a ton. They estimate that he 473 00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:58,080 Speaker 4: has twenty four million tons on his property. If you 474 00:26:58,160 --> 00:27:00,919 Speaker 4: calculate it out, it comes to ride over two billion 475 00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:05,080 Speaker 4: dollars worth of stone. You think about how it all started, 476 00:27:05,560 --> 00:27:09,719 Speaker 4: when he did something good for somebody else. When you 477 00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:12,159 Speaker 4: live a life to give and you go around so 478 00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:15,359 Speaker 4: in seeds of kindness, you never know what kind of 479 00:27:15,359 --> 00:27:19,000 Speaker 4: harvest you're going to reap. No, you may not strike oil, 480 00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:22,719 Speaker 4: you may not find expensive rock on your property. But 481 00:27:22,800 --> 00:27:25,760 Speaker 4: God can give you one idea that can lead to 482 00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:28,119 Speaker 4: all kinds of funds. God can cause you to be 483 00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:29,879 Speaker 4: at the right place at the right time. 484 00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:32,560 Speaker 3: He can bring talent out of you that you didn't 485 00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:33,440 Speaker 3: even know you had. 486 00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:36,800 Speaker 4: I want you to start believing for the fullness of 487 00:27:36,840 --> 00:27:39,919 Speaker 4: this blessing. No matter where you are, God wants you 488 00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:42,960 Speaker 4: to rise higher. He wants you to be more blessed, 489 00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:45,719 Speaker 4: so you can be a bigger blessing. Will you get 490 00:27:45,760 --> 00:27:48,520 Speaker 4: a vision for it? Will you shake off or barely 491 00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:52,320 Speaker 4: get by? Let me just survive mentality? No, you go 492 00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:54,840 Speaker 4: out each day knowing that God's going to show you 493 00:27:55,080 --> 00:27:58,800 Speaker 4: the surpassing greatness of his favor. Remember, the wealth of 494 00:27:58,840 --> 00:28:02,280 Speaker 4: the ungodly has already been laid up for you. It's 495 00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:04,720 Speaker 4: just a matter of time before it finds its way 496 00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:07,919 Speaker 4: into your hands. And if you'll keep your faith stirred 497 00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:10,679 Speaker 4: up this year and believe for far and beyond favor, 498 00:28:10,800 --> 00:28:13,199 Speaker 4: let me just declare it again. God is going to 499 00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:16,439 Speaker 4: amaze you with his goodness. What you've seen in the 500 00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:19,399 Speaker 4: past will pale in comparison to what God's going to 501 00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:22,400 Speaker 4: do in the future.
