00:00:01,440 --> 00:00:04,320
Speaker 1: Hi, this is Jolan Victoria. Thanks so much for listening

2
00:00:04,360 --> 00:00:07,520
Speaker 1: to the podcast and thanks for supporting the ministry.

3
00:00:07,880 --> 00:00:09,200
Speaker 2: We believe you're going to have an.

4
00:00:09,080 --> 00:00:13,760
Speaker 1: Awesome twenty twenty four, healthy, productive, and favor filled. God

5
00:00:13,800 --> 00:00:15,760
Speaker 1: bless you today and enjoy the message.

6
00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:19,919
Speaker 3: May you Father, you may be seated. I know that

7
00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:21,840
Speaker 3: He is pleased with us today.

8
00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:24,479
Speaker 4: You know, if we're going to see the fullness of

9
00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:28,200
Speaker 4: God's promises in our life, we're going to have to

10
00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:32,840
Speaker 4: develop the ability to see beyond where we are right now.

11
00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:36,720
Speaker 4: You see, God is always taking us to new levels,

12
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:38,240
Speaker 4: to greater places.

13
00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:41,360
Speaker 3: He's always wanting us to stretch and grow.

14
00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:45,280
Speaker 4: He's wanting to increase our faith, he's wanting to deepen

15
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:48,879
Speaker 4: our strength, and he's wanting us to see new victories

16
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:51,599
Speaker 4: in our life. So today I want you to know

17
00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:54,680
Speaker 4: where you are right now, it's not your final destination.

18
00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:59,760
Speaker 4: God's got amazing things in store for you. I think

19
00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:03,480
Speaker 4: of the hero of faith, Abraham. He's the father of

20
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:06,440
Speaker 4: our faith and you can find his story in Genesis,

21
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:09,720
Speaker 4: and when you read his story, there's amazing things about

22
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:12,800
Speaker 4: his life. But there's something I want to point out today,

23
00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:16,080
Speaker 4: and many of you know the story of Abraham and

24
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:19,600
Speaker 4: how he left his father's home to follow God, to

25
00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:22,520
Speaker 4: go to a place that God would show him. And

26
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:25,560
Speaker 4: he declared over Abraham's life that he would be a blessing,

27
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:30,000
Speaker 4: that he would bless people all over this world, that

28
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:32,800
Speaker 4: he would be a great nation, that God would do

29
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:35,880
Speaker 4: amazing things in his life. So, as he was traveling

30
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:40,120
Speaker 4: with God, he had his nephew Lot with him.

31
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:42,160
Speaker 3: I know you know this story. So he and Lot

32
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:44,240
Speaker 3: took off to follow God.

33
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:48,160
Speaker 4: Scripture tells us that there was a point in time

34
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:52,360
Speaker 4: where he and Lot became too numerous. They had too

35
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:55,880
Speaker 4: much livestock between the two of them. Their families grew,

36
00:01:55,960 --> 00:02:00,480
Speaker 4: their herds grew, and it became too much to port

37
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:04,160
Speaker 4: two families like this on one piece of land. There

38
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:07,520
Speaker 4: was some quarreling going on between their employees, the herdsman,

39
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:10,799
Speaker 4: and there was some strife that was taking place because

40
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:15,520
Speaker 4: there just wasn't enough land to sustain the wealth and

41
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:19,160
Speaker 4: the possessions that they had acquired through the blessings of God.

42
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:21,600
Speaker 3: So Abraham said, Lot, you know.

43
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:26,240
Speaker 4: Let's don't ruin our relationship for sake of a good relationship.

44
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:28,959
Speaker 4: Let's make a decision that we're just gonna part ways

45
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:32,679
Speaker 4: right now, and Lot, you take the first choice. Where

46
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:34,760
Speaker 4: do you want to go? Lot, If you go to

47
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:36,520
Speaker 4: the right, I'll go to the left. If you go

48
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:38,440
Speaker 4: to the left, I'll go to the right. He said,

49
00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:42,200
Speaker 4: whatever you want, Lot, you have first choice. So Lot

50
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:46,080
Speaker 4: looked around, and the Bible describes this one place eastward

51
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:50,520
Speaker 4: like a beautiful garden, just lush. I can only picture

52
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:53,480
Speaker 4: it looking like Hawaii or something. They called it the

53
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:55,960
Speaker 4: well watered garden of the Jordan.

54
00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:59,119
Speaker 3: Well, Lot saw that and it looked great to him.

55
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:02,960
Speaker 4: So he said with Abraham, I'm heading eastward. So Abraham

56
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:08,040
Speaker 4: turned the other direction and he went on his way. Now, Abraham,

57
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 4: he didn't walk into a lush garden. The Bible says

58
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:14,440
Speaker 4: he walked into a lot of dirt and a lot

59
00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:18,639
Speaker 4: of dust. And listen to what God said to Abraham

60
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:21,919
Speaker 4: when he was standing in the middle of this plain

61
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:26,239
Speaker 4: that looked like a bunch of dirt and dust. He said, Abraham,

62
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:28,639
Speaker 4: I want you to lift up your eyes from where

63
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:32,320
Speaker 4: you are right now. I want you to look beyond

64
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:36,640
Speaker 4: where you are right now. You see, God was saying, Abraham,

65
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:39,720
Speaker 4: don't get a picture of this dirt and dust, because

66
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:42,880
Speaker 4: it's not your destination. He said, Abraham, I want you

67
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:45,280
Speaker 4: to look past the dirt and the dust, and I

68
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:47,720
Speaker 4: want you to start meditating on what I have.

69
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:50,520
Speaker 3: Spoken over your life. You will be a great nation.

70
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:55,480
Speaker 4: People will be blessed all over the earth because of you, Abraham.

71
00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:59,720
Speaker 4: He was saying, Abraham, get a picture, get a vision

72
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:03,360
Speaker 4: of what I am saying about you. You see, when

73
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:07,160
Speaker 4: he said Abraham, lift your eyes, he was setting the

74
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 4: tone for Abraham's life. He was literally saying, Abraham, what

75
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 4: I've caused you to accomplish is only going to be accomplished.

76
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:16,880
Speaker 3: By lifted eyes.

77
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 4: See, you can't look at the dirt and dust, Abraham.

78
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:23,800
Speaker 4: You can't turn around and think, maybe it wasn't such

79
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:27,840
Speaker 4: a great idea that I gave Lot the first choice. Well,

80
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:30,880
Speaker 4: you know, maybe I shouldn't have separated from Lot at all.

81
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:35,640
Speaker 3: No, don't get that in your mind. Don't look at

82
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:36,200
Speaker 3: the dust.

83
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:39,360
Speaker 4: But lift your eyes from where you are, because I'm

84
00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:43,599
Speaker 4: taking you to great places. See, Abraham had to do

85
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:47,080
Speaker 4: something before he could take hold of that promise. You see,

86
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:49,200
Speaker 4: he could have looked at the dust. He could have

87
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:51,799
Speaker 4: looked at the dirt, He could have looked at the circumstances.

88
00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:54,360
Speaker 4: But He had a choice to make. Am I going

89
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:56,880
Speaker 4: to believe God? Or am I going to stand here

90
00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:58,120
Speaker 4: in my circumstances?

91
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:01,400
Speaker 3: And you know what his choice was. He chose to

92
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:02,360
Speaker 3: lift his eyes.

93
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:05,599
Speaker 4: He chose to look through his eyes of faith and

94
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:10,320
Speaker 4: see the promises of God. See, God is declaring great

95
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:14,040
Speaker 4: things over you today. But you're going to have to

96
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:17,320
Speaker 4: do exactly like Abraham. You're gonna have to make the choice.

97
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:21,080
Speaker 4: Am I gonna sit here and look at my circumstances,

98
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:23,440
Speaker 4: or am I gonna believe on the other side of

99
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:26,120
Speaker 4: my circumstances, on the other side of even where I

100
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:29,240
Speaker 4: am right now, whether it's good or bad, God's got

101
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:32,240
Speaker 4: greater things in store for me. See, you may be

102
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:35,240
Speaker 4: in a good place right now, but God is saying,

103
00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:36,280
Speaker 4: don't get comfortable.

104
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:38,080
Speaker 3: I made you for more.

105
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:43,039
Speaker 4: Do you know Abraham's father got comfortable. He set out

106
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:46,440
Speaker 4: on a journey, and he found a place that was comfortable,

107
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:50,080
Speaker 4: and he settled there. He settled there for a two

108
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:54,920
Speaker 4: hundred odds years, the Bible says, But not Abraham. Abraham

109
00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 4: accomplished what he accomplished by lifting his eyes and going

110
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:03,280
Speaker 4: on with God. You know, sometimes we can get so

111
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:08,120
Speaker 4: distracted by our circumstances that it begins to distort our vision.

112
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:12,560
Speaker 4: We can't see where we're going, we can't have that

113
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:14,320
Speaker 4: vision of victory.

114
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:17,880
Speaker 3: And so we have a tendency to just stop.

115
00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:21,679
Speaker 4: We have a tendency to settle, or even look down

116
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:25,719
Speaker 4: and lose hope. I heard a story about a man

117
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:28,760
Speaker 4: and when he was a younger in his life, he

118
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:31,800
Speaker 4: was looking down walking one day, looking down at the ground,

119
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:36,400
Speaker 4: and he found a very valuable gold coin. He was

120
00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:40,400
Speaker 4: so excited about that gold coin. He continued to look

121
00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:43,040
Speaker 4: down on the ground. Do you know he spent his

122
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:48,520
Speaker 4: entire life with his face looking down for coins. And

123
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:51,680
Speaker 4: you know what, he did find some coins in his lifetime,

124
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:56,800
Speaker 4: But reality is, he didn't see the flowers and the trees,

125
00:06:56,920 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 4: and the mountains and the skies and the beauty he

126
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:03,760
Speaker 4: meant to enjoy because he left that event in his life,

127
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:07,560
Speaker 4: that one event where he found a gold coin, dictate

128
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:11,520
Speaker 4: his whole life. From then on, he kept looking downward

129
00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:13,000
Speaker 4: just to collect coins.

130
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:16,520
Speaker 3: But there was so much more in store for that man.

131
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:20,920
Speaker 4: And sometimes we allow an event in our life to

132
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:25,000
Speaker 4: define us, maybe a broken marriage, maybe a loss of

133
00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:28,280
Speaker 4: a job, maybe family troubles, and we think you know what,

134
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:31,080
Speaker 4: I'll never get out of this, but I want to

135
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:34,720
Speaker 4: tell you, just like Abraham, God has made some promises

136
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:37,840
Speaker 4: to you, and if you don't get good at looking

137
00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:40,960
Speaker 4: beyond you where you are right now and lifting your eyes,

138
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:44,200
Speaker 4: you too will miss out on the great things that

139
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:45,360
Speaker 4: God has promised you.

140
00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:50,840
Speaker 3: He's an awesome God. Do you know Jesus had to

141
00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:52,920
Speaker 3: do this. The Bible says.

142
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:54,400
Speaker 4: When he was on the cross and he was in

143
00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:56,120
Speaker 4: great agony and great pain.

144
00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:58,040
Speaker 3: It says that he lifted his eyes.

145
00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:02,560
Speaker 4: He lifted his eyes so that he could endure where

146
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:05,400
Speaker 4: he was at to where he was going. It said

147
00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:07,840
Speaker 4: that he lifted his eyes and looked at the joy

148
00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:12,080
Speaker 4: that was past the cross. That's how he endured it.

149
00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:15,040
Speaker 4: He looked at the finished product. He said, I'm not

150
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:19,520
Speaker 4: staying here. This is not my destiny. I'm moving forward.

151
00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:24,840
Speaker 4: God is going to do great things through this. There

152
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:28,400
Speaker 4: was a purpose for the cross, but Jesus didn't get

153
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:29,440
Speaker 4: stuck on that cross.

154
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:31,400
Speaker 3: He lifted his eyes.

155
00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:33,840
Speaker 4: And you know what, you and I are going to

156
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:36,520
Speaker 4: have to lift our eyes if we're going to get

157
00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:38,520
Speaker 4: to the places God wants us to be.

158
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:43,560
Speaker 3: Now. I said earlier that the theme of Abraham's life

159
00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:44,880
Speaker 3: was lifted eyes.

160
00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:47,480
Speaker 4: And I found this in the scriptures, and I thought

161
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:51,160
Speaker 4: it was very interesting. When Abraham went through the twists

162
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:53,200
Speaker 4: and turns of his life, he was waiting on this

163
00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:54,160
Speaker 4: promised child.

164
00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:55,720
Speaker 3: God was taking him to places.

165
00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:57,880
Speaker 4: He didn't really know where he was going, but he

166
00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:01,760
Speaker 4: was following God and trusting God. And one evening he

167
00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:05,520
Speaker 4: was sitting outside his tent wondering, God, I am so old,

168
00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:10,200
Speaker 4: when am I going to have this promised child? And

169
00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:15,080
Speaker 4: the Bible says in Genesis eighteen twelve, it says when

170
00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:19,240
Speaker 4: he was sitting outside his tent, questioning and looking to God,

171
00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:23,400
Speaker 4: it says he lifted his eyes and he saw three

172
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:27,280
Speaker 4: men coming towards him. Those three men were sent by God,

173
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:30,920
Speaker 4: and they were there to tell him the exact time

174
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:35,240
Speaker 4: that Sarah would have the promised child. But I find

175
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:38,160
Speaker 4: it very interesting that he wasn't sitting out inside his

176
00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:41,640
Speaker 4: tent complaining, saying, God, this has taken too long. You're

177
00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:45,160
Speaker 4: taking me places I don't like, I don't understand God,

178
00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:47,920
Speaker 4: I can't I can't even think about or talk to

179
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:49,800
Speaker 4: you anymore, and look down.

180
00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:53,920
Speaker 3: No, he always had the lifted eyes.

181
00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:58,120
Speaker 4: He always looked to God even when he was reasoning

182
00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:01,520
Speaker 4: and talking, he was talking to God. He wasn't talking

183
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:04,839
Speaker 4: to the dart, he wasn't talking to his circumstances. He

184
00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:08,320
Speaker 4: was talking with lifted eyes. And when he had lifted eyes,

185
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:13,800
Speaker 4: he saw the promises of God. Another time, when he

186
00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:18,560
Speaker 4: finally was able to see the manifestation of this promise

187
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:21,040
Speaker 4: come to pass, and he had his beautiful son, Isaac,

188
00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:25,120
Speaker 4: God asked him to do something in obedience, something he

189
00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:28,640
Speaker 4: certainly didn't understand. He said, Abraham, I want you to

190
00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:30,839
Speaker 4: take your son Isaac, and I want you to take

191
00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:32,280
Speaker 4: him up on the mountain, and I want you to

192
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:35,440
Speaker 4: sacrifice him. But he thought, God, I've been waiting for

193
00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:41,000
Speaker 4: this child for so long. Why I don't understand, But

194
00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:44,760
Speaker 4: I'm going to walk in obedience. He got the altar ready,

195
00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:48,680
Speaker 4: he built the fire, he tied up Isaac, and he was,

196
00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:51,199
Speaker 4: I'm sure the whole time, asking God, God.

197
00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:52,560
Speaker 3: Where are you? Where are you?

198
00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:56,600
Speaker 4: Listen to what it says in Genesis twenty two thirteen,

199
00:10:57,280 --> 00:11:02,080
Speaker 4: It says right before he was about to sacrifice.

200
00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:03,160
Speaker 3: He lifted his eyes and he saw a ram in

201
00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:03,640
Speaker 3: the bush.

202
00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:07,640
Speaker 4: That was the provision that God was giving him to

203
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:11,920
Speaker 4: replace his son Isaac Abraham, when he lifted his eyes,

204
00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:16,199
Speaker 4: always found the provision of God, always saw God's hand

205
00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:20,679
Speaker 4: of miracles. He always knew if he would just lift

206
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:24,240
Speaker 4: his eyes, he would see God do great and mighty things.

207
00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:26,880
Speaker 3: Psalm one twenty one.

208
00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:29,440
Speaker 4: Says, I lift up my eyes to the hills. Where

209
00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:32,200
Speaker 4: does my help come from? It comes from the maker

210
00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:36,080
Speaker 4: of heaven and earth, the maker of heaven and earth.

211
00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:39,240
Speaker 3: See David knew when he looked at.

212
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:44,280
Speaker 4: Those mountains around Jerusalem. He knew the blessings of God

213
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:47,520
Speaker 4: were there. The provision of God, the healing, the protection,

214
00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:53,319
Speaker 4: Everything he needed was up. I encourage every one of us,

215
00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:57,079
Speaker 4: can I get stuck in our circumstances, to not look

216
00:11:57,120 --> 00:12:00,360
Speaker 4: at the dirt in your life, but realize beyond that

217
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:06,000
Speaker 4: is greater heights, greater measures, greater victories, greater strength, greater andnointy.

218
00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:09,400
Speaker 4: The only way you're going to find the greater thing

219
00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:13,160
Speaker 4: is to look up. Through all the twists and turns

220
00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:17,120
Speaker 4: of Abraham's life, when he looked up, God was always there.

221
00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:21,320
Speaker 4: So remember, we too, are on a journey. The theme

222
00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:23,760
Speaker 4: of the journey is lift up your eyes.

223
00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:25,280
Speaker 3: Lift up your.

224
00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:30,680
Speaker 4: Eyes, don't get stuff, don't look down, don't let one

225
00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:34,000
Speaker 4: event define you. But lift your eyes and you will

226
00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:35,960
Speaker 4: see the King of Glory come in.

227
00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:36,360
Speaker 3: Amen.

228
00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:41,960
Speaker 2: Sometimes the circumstances of life can be overwhelmingly negative. What

229
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:44,800
Speaker 2: should we do when we experience these kinds of negative

230
00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:46,120
Speaker 2: reports and realities?

231
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:51,360
Speaker 1: Our life is like a container. It can only hold

232
00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:55,600
Speaker 1: so much. When we allow negative things in, like worry, guilt,

233
00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:59,320
Speaker 1: and unforgiveness. That's taking up space for the good things

234
00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:01,959
Speaker 1: that belong to you. That's why I wrote my book,

235
00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:04,520
Speaker 1: Empty Out the Negative. I'll show you how to get

236
00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:07,679
Speaker 1: rid of what's limiting you so you can live a victorious,

237
00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:08,680
Speaker 1: fulfilled life.

238
00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:12,160
Speaker 4: When you make room for joy, peace and faith, God

239
00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:13,360
Speaker 4: will feel you afresh.

240
00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:15,480
Speaker 2: And a news As our way of saying thank you

241
00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:18,360
Speaker 2: for your gift of any amount to the ministry this month,

242
00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:22,080
Speaker 2: Joel and Victoria would like to send you this powerful book,

243
00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:26,400
Speaker 2: Empty out the Negative, Empty out fear, and replace it

244
00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:27,000
Speaker 2: with faith.

245
00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:34,520
Speaker 5: My doctor, he said, I went in there and there

246
00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:36,120
Speaker 5: is no cancer in your body.

247
00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:41,000
Speaker 2: Empty out a hurt filled childhood, and replace it with confidence.

248
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:46,040
Speaker 2: So I took what Joel said and I physically replace them.

249
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:48,600
Speaker 3: With I am strong, I am worthy.

250
00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:52,560
Speaker 2: I started saying those over and over and over. Empty

251
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:55,880
Speaker 2: out broken relationships and find renewed love.

252
00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:58,680
Speaker 5: In a world that's just so full of so much

253
00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:01,840
Speaker 5: noise and negative and hatred, and just to come and

254
00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:05,120
Speaker 5: have so much encouragement filled into you. You know, it's

255
00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:07,200
Speaker 5: something I've never had in my whole life.

256
00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:09,760
Speaker 1: Are you holding onto things that are weighing you down?

257
00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:12,160
Speaker 1: It's time to empty that out so you can live

258
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:14,120
Speaker 1: a positive, faith filled line.

259
00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:17,080
Speaker 4: Joel and I pray for you every day. We're believing
