And 34 00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:46,399 Speaker 3: I heard about this country couple. They were celebrating their 35 00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:50,680 Speaker 3: fiftieth wedding anniversary and they had never had an argument before. 36 00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:55,160 Speaker 3: Somebody asked them the secret of their success. The husband explained, 37 00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:57,840 Speaker 3: when they were leaving the church going on their honeymoon, 38 00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:01,680 Speaker 3: the wife's horse refused to go. She got off and 39 00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:03,920 Speaker 3: looked the horse in the eyes and said that's one. 40 00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:07,320 Speaker 3: He went a little bit, but then stopped again. She 41 00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:09,800 Speaker 3: got off, looked him in the eyes and said that's two. 42 00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:13,280 Speaker 3: He went a little bit further, but he stopped once more. 43 00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:16,920 Speaker 3: This time, she got off, pulled out her revolver, and 44 00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:20,600 Speaker 3: shot the horse dead. The husband was appalled. He said, 45 00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:22,640 Speaker 3: what are you doing. You can't just shoot an animal. 46 00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:27,480 Speaker 3: She looked at him and said, honey, that's one all right. 47 00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:30,839 Speaker 3: That is not found in this book. By the way, 48 00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:33,640 Speaker 3: hold up your Bible. Say it like you mean it. 49 00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:37,040 Speaker 3: This is my Bible. I am what it says. I am. 50 00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:40,079 Speaker 3: I have what it says I have. I can do 51 00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:42,760 Speaker 3: what it says I can do. Today I will be 52 00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:47,000 Speaker 3: taught the word of God. I boldly confess. My mind 53 00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:50,600 Speaker 3: is alert, my heart is receptive. I will never be 54 00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:55,280 Speaker 3: the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you. I want 55 00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:57,839 Speaker 3: to talk to you today about how you have been 56 00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:03,120 Speaker 3: preprogrammed to live a victorimlorious life. God never created us 57 00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:06,920 Speaker 3: to be average. We're not supposed to drag around barely 58 00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:10,880 Speaker 3: making it defeated and depressed. God created us to be 59 00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:15,000 Speaker 3: the head and never the tale, to be happy, healthy 60 00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:18,680 Speaker 3: and whole. And the scripture says we have been made 61 00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:22,799 Speaker 3: in the image of Almighty God. When God made you, 62 00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:26,760 Speaker 3: he put a part of himself into you. One way 63 00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:29,040 Speaker 3: you could say it is you have the DNA of 64 00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:33,160 Speaker 3: Almighty God. He's your heavenly father. You got some of 65 00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:37,520 Speaker 3: his traits, some of his characteristics. That means in your 66 00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:43,280 Speaker 3: genes right now, our favor, wisdom, strength, talent, and ability. 67 00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:47,080 Speaker 3: God breathed his life into you. And just like you 68 00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:50,720 Speaker 3: got your natural DNA from your parents, you got your 69 00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:55,000 Speaker 3: spiritual DNA from your heavenly father. The good news is 70 00:03:55,440 --> 00:04:01,520 Speaker 3: the spiritual always overrides the natural. God's deal will override 71 00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:05,840 Speaker 3: any negative DNA in your family line. We know how 72 00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:09,440 Speaker 3: certain characteristics can be passed down from our parents, from 73 00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:12,800 Speaker 3: our grandparents. People say to us a lot talking about 74 00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:16,479 Speaker 3: our son Jonathan, He's got his mother's eyes. He looks 75 00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:20,040 Speaker 3: just like Victoria. I always say, thank God God had 76 00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:24,360 Speaker 3: mercy on him. I see traits in our daughter Alexandra 77 00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:27,200 Speaker 3: that are just like me. Before she goes to bed, 78 00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:30,320 Speaker 3: she lays out her clothes for the next day. She'll 79 00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:33,120 Speaker 3: never go to sleep without plugging her cell phone into 80 00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:35,880 Speaker 3: the battery charger. She gets her homework by the back 81 00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:38,160 Speaker 3: door so she can just walk out in a hurry. 82 00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:42,600 Speaker 3: That's the same trait my mother has. My mother's very disciplined. 83 00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:46,359 Speaker 3: She got it from her father. My grandfather was the 84 00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:50,080 Speaker 3: same way. Why is that it's in our DNA. It's 85 00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:53,320 Speaker 3: being passed from one generation to the next, and not 86 00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:59,120 Speaker 3: just physical characteristics, but even personality traits, our attitude, our demeanor. 87 00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:02,640 Speaker 3: These are things that are in our DNA. That's our 88 00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:06,880 Speaker 3: genetic code that makes up who we are. And it's interesting. 89 00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:10,360 Speaker 3: You can have a gene in your DNA that lies 90 00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:14,640 Speaker 3: dormant for years, but at a specific time, when it's 91 00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:18,760 Speaker 3: been preprogrammed by all the factors of who your ancestors 92 00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:21,920 Speaker 3: were and what's been passed down to you, that gene 93 00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:24,800 Speaker 3: will activate. I know growing up, I had a good 94 00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:28,080 Speaker 3: friend in high school. He was the star athlete. He 95 00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:32,559 Speaker 3: was big, strong, muscular, and he had this thick, wavy hair. 96 00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:35,920 Speaker 3: I remember after our basketball games when we would take 97 00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:38,840 Speaker 3: a shower. He couldn't comb his hair like the rest 98 00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:41,400 Speaker 3: of us. He had to use a big brush that 99 00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:44,720 Speaker 3: hardly had any bristles. I mean, I've never seen hair 100 00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:47,600 Speaker 3: so thick. Well, we graduated from school and went our 101 00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:51,279 Speaker 3: separate ways. About ten years later, I ran into him 102 00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:54,800 Speaker 3: at the mall and I nearly passed out. He didn't 103 00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:58,520 Speaker 3: have thick, wavy hair anymore. To be polite about it, 104 00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:00,880 Speaker 3: he needed to go see the hair club for men. 105 00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:05,520 Speaker 3: He was completely bald except for write down through here. 106 00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:08,039 Speaker 3: I wanted to say, what in the world happened? He 107 00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:12,560 Speaker 3: was bigger than me, so I didn't what was that. 108 00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:16,159 Speaker 3: There was a gene in his DNA passed down from 109 00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:20,080 Speaker 3: his relatives that had a specific purpose, and that purpose 110 00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:23,240 Speaker 3: was to release hair. The name of that gene was 111 00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:28,280 Speaker 3: a four letter word, b ald. You could have never 112 00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:30,680 Speaker 3: convinced me in high school that ten years later he 113 00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:34,039 Speaker 3: was going to be bald. I'd say, no way, that's impossible. 114 00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:38,359 Speaker 3: How did it happen? That gene was lion doormant, just 115 00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:42,240 Speaker 3: waiting for the time. It had already been pre programmed 116 00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:46,080 Speaker 3: to activate. When that time came along, the gene said, 117 00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:49,080 Speaker 3: my job is to release hair, and I must say 118 00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:51,919 Speaker 3: that gene did a great job. Now I don't know 119 00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:54,520 Speaker 3: about you, but I'm standing against any kind of genes 120 00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:57,719 Speaker 3: like that in my family line. But just as we 121 00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:02,440 Speaker 3: get this natural DNA from our parents, from our natural bloodline, 122 00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:06,920 Speaker 3: we get our spiritual DNA from our heavenly father. And 123 00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:10,120 Speaker 3: the scripture tells us before we ever showed up on 124 00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:14,560 Speaker 3: planet Earth, God knew us. We're not an accident. Your 125 00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:17,360 Speaker 3: parents didn't just randomly get together and decide to have 126 00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:21,400 Speaker 3: a child. God had a purpose for you before your 127 00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:25,400 Speaker 3: parents or grandparents even knew each other. David said, here 128 00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:29,680 Speaker 3: and saw one thirty nine, verse sixteen, your eyes saw 129 00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:34,280 Speaker 3: my unformed substance. All my days were written in your 130 00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:37,400 Speaker 3: book before I was ever born. What does that mean? 131 00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:42,440 Speaker 3: Our unformed substance. That's talking about the DNA that God 132 00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:46,120 Speaker 3: put into us. In other words, before God even had 133 00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:49,640 Speaker 3: your parents picked out, he had an assignment for you. 134 00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:53,280 Speaker 3: He had something for you to accomplish, and he took 135 00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:58,240 Speaker 3: that unformed substance and filled it with the right DNA 136 00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:03,040 Speaker 3: so you could fulfill your destiny. You have the right gifts, 137 00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:07,120 Speaker 3: the right talent, the right personality, the right height. You 138 00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:09,880 Speaker 3: have the courage, the strength, the ability that you need. 139 00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:13,800 Speaker 3: But just like with the physical, some genes lie dormant, 140 00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:16,960 Speaker 3: waiting to be activated. Now, I believe every one of 141 00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:20,960 Speaker 3: us has potential that has not yet been released. I 142 00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:24,200 Speaker 3: was reading about Michael Jordan when he first tried out 143 00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:26,760 Speaker 3: for the basketball team in school. He didn't make it. 144 00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:29,560 Speaker 3: The coach told him he just didn't think he had 145 00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:33,360 Speaker 3: what it took. At that point, Michael Jordan wasn't super 146 00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:37,000 Speaker 3: coordinated and super athletic like he is today. But what 147 00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:40,680 Speaker 3: the coach didn't realize was there was a gene locked 148 00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:43,200 Speaker 3: up in his DNA that was about to be released, 149 00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:47,320 Speaker 3: a gene that would give him an incredible ability to jump, 150 00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:52,040 Speaker 3: an incredible ability to soar through the air. Michael Jordan 151 00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:53,920 Speaker 3: could have gotten discourage and think, well, all this is 152 00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:57,240 Speaker 3: just not for me. Something deep down on the inside 153 00:08:57,320 --> 00:09:00,479 Speaker 3: kept telling him, this is for you. You've got whats 154 00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:03,480 Speaker 3: this is what you were born to do. His destiny 155 00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:06,040 Speaker 3: was calling out to him. It was in his DNA. 156 00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:09,920 Speaker 3: Even though he went through that rejection and other setbacks, 157 00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:15,000 Speaker 3: he realized other people didn't determine his destiny. Other people 158 00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:18,360 Speaker 3: didn't know what God put in him. He kept believing, 159 00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:21,320 Speaker 3: he kept being his best, kept pressing forward, and one 160 00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:24,640 Speaker 3: day that gene activated. He became one of the great 161 00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:28,439 Speaker 3: basketball players of our time. All of us have things 162 00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:31,760 Speaker 3: in us. We don't realize genes that are just waiting 163 00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:35,480 Speaker 3: to be activated. For thirty five years, I didn't know 164 00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:37,960 Speaker 3: there was a minister in me. I didn't know I 165 00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:42,679 Speaker 3: could do this. I'm naturally more quiet and reserved. I 166 00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:45,960 Speaker 3: liked being behind the scenes. But when my father went 167 00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:49,079 Speaker 3: to be with the Lord in nineteen ninety nine, one 168 00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:52,079 Speaker 3: of those genes that God put in me before the 169 00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:55,600 Speaker 3: foundation of time. All of the sudden it activated. All 170 00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:57,680 Speaker 3: of a sudden, it came alive, and deep down on 171 00:09:57,720 --> 00:09:59,760 Speaker 3: the inside, I knew that. I knew this is what 172 00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:03,359 Speaker 3: I wan supposed to do. Looking back now I realize 173 00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:07,640 Speaker 3: this wasn't a surprise to God. He had preprogrammed this 174 00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:10,719 Speaker 3: in me before I ever got here. All of our 175 00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:13,960 Speaker 3: days have been written in his book. The fact is, 176 00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:16,640 Speaker 3: those thirty five years that I didn't think I could 177 00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:19,079 Speaker 3: do it. I tell Victoria I'm not a minister. I 178 00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:22,720 Speaker 3: can't speak in public. She'd tell me time and again, Yes, Joel, 179 00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:24,760 Speaker 3: you can. One day. You're going to pastor the church. 180 00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:27,560 Speaker 3: Now all Victoria's just not in me. Now I know 181 00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:31,480 Speaker 3: it was in my God given DNA that Gene was 182 00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:34,720 Speaker 3: just lieing dormant because it wasn't the right time. When 183 00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:37,680 Speaker 3: the right season came along, all of a sudden, I 184 00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:40,240 Speaker 3: had a desire to do this. Now I had to 185 00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:42,360 Speaker 3: make a decision. Was I going to get out of 186 00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:44,880 Speaker 3: my comfort zone and believe I could do it and 187 00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:47,839 Speaker 3: believe I'm equipped, or was I going to just sit back, 188 00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:50,520 Speaker 3: play it safe, and stay where I was let the 189 00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:54,080 Speaker 3: opportunity pass me by. I took that step of faith, 190 00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:58,000 Speaker 3: and I really believe that's when the gene activated and 191 00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:01,360 Speaker 3: I stepped into my divine destiny. Now I know I'm 192 00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:03,880 Speaker 3: doing what I was born to do. I know this 193 00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:06,440 Speaker 3: is one of the reasons God put me here. Now, 194 00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:09,199 Speaker 3: I want to announce to you some of the genes 195 00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:13,280 Speaker 3: that God has already preprogrammed in you are about to 196 00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:16,920 Speaker 3: be activated. Just like I didn't think I can do this, 197 00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:21,000 Speaker 3: You're gonna accomplish things that you never thought possible. You're 198 00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:25,440 Speaker 3: gonna see new talent, new levels of ability, new levels 199 00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:29,120 Speaker 3: of wisdom in insight, new levels in your career, new 200 00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:32,960 Speaker 3: levels of success. Get that down on the inside. These 201 00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:37,440 Speaker 3: genes of favor, wisdom, strength, and ability are going to 202 00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:41,280 Speaker 3: be activated. I love to pray every day, Father, thank 203 00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:44,400 Speaker 3: you that every gene you put in me will be 204 00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:47,800 Speaker 3: released to the full. You gotta call forth those seeds. 205 00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:51,320 Speaker 3: You gotta speak to your genes. When you feel kind 206 00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:54,120 Speaker 3: of intimidated, like you can't do something that you know 207 00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:56,600 Speaker 3: on the inside you should do, you just need to 208 00:11:56,600 --> 00:12:01,040 Speaker 3: remind yourself. I have the DNA of Almighty going. God 209 00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:03,480 Speaker 3: breeded his life into me, and I'm not going to 210 00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:08,640 Speaker 3: drag around discouraged, intimidated, inferior. I know I've been equipped 211 00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:11,960 Speaker 3: with everything I need. I can do all things through Christ, 212 00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:15,640 Speaker 3: and I will fulfill my God given destiny. If you 213 00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:20,720 Speaker 3: will have an attitude like that and keep pressing forward, believing, expecting, 214 00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:25,199 Speaker 3: then those genes of favor or increased talent promotion at 215 00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:28,120 Speaker 3: the right time, they will activate and help take you 216 00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:31,960 Speaker 3: to new levels. You have more in you, don't. You 217 00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:34,800 Speaker 3: dare sit around thinking, well, I've reached my limits. I've 218 00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:36,959 Speaker 3: kind of had a rough upbringing and I've made a 219 00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:40,760 Speaker 3: lot of mistakes. No, start meditating on the fact that 220 00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:44,760 Speaker 3: the creator of the universe has equipped you with everything 221 00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:49,120 Speaker 3: you need. You have been preprogrammed to be a victor 222 00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:53,160 Speaker 3: and not a victime. And I know some people were 223 00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:56,880 Speaker 3: not raised in a healthy environment, but who your parents 224 00:12:56,960 --> 00:13:01,160 Speaker 3: were is not a surprise to God. He's not thinking, well, 225 00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:03,040 Speaker 3: I had a good plan for you, but your parents 226 00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:06,080 Speaker 3: really messed it up. Or that first husband of yours 227 00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:08,480 Speaker 3: that did you wrong, walked out on you, he just 228 00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:12,240 Speaker 3: ruined everything. No, God knew what we were going to encounter. 229 00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:14,560 Speaker 3: He knew the people we were going to have to 230 00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:17,319 Speaker 3: deal with. He knew the obstacles we were going to overcome, 231 00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:21,200 Speaker 3: and so he put in us the right genes. They're 232 00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:24,640 Speaker 3: already in our spiritual DNA. And if you'll get rid 233 00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:28,360 Speaker 3: of any kind of negative, defeated attitude and just stay 234 00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:31,400 Speaker 3: in faith, you're going to see good things released in 235 00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:35,600 Speaker 3: your future, new seasons of increase, new seasons of favor. 236 00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:38,080 Speaker 3: You will look back and think, how did I get here? 237 00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:40,880 Speaker 3: How did this happen? I'll tell you how. It's in 238 00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:45,280 Speaker 3: your genes. And I'm not talking about Levi's God preprogrammed 239 00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:48,160 Speaker 3: it into you. All your days have been written in 240 00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:51,199 Speaker 3: his book. Well, you say, Joel, I wasn't raised in 241 00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:53,840 Speaker 3: a good home like you were. I didn't have parents 242 00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:56,960 Speaker 3: and other people speaking faith into me. But that doesn't 243 00:13:57,000 --> 00:13:59,880 Speaker 3: have to stop you. You may look back in your 244 00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:04,880 Speaker 3: family line and see a long history of defeat, mediocrity, addictions, 245 00:14:04,880 --> 00:14:08,160 Speaker 3: wrong mindsets, and you're tempted to think, man, they messed 246 00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:10,560 Speaker 3: my life up. Now I'm having to deal with all 247 00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:13,840 Speaker 3: these issues. Men told me last week how he grew 248 00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:17,360 Speaker 3: up in a very negative environment. There was no stability 249 00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:19,680 Speaker 3: in his home, and it was almost like he got 250 00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:22,120 Speaker 3: the short end of the stick. He said, Joe, I 251 00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:25,600 Speaker 3: really feel like other people have kind of cursed my future. 252 00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:29,520 Speaker 3: But here's the good news. Before anybody could put a 253 00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:33,000 Speaker 3: curse on you. God put a blessing on you, before 254 00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:36,520 Speaker 3: you even showed up on planet Earth, before you ever 255 00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:40,640 Speaker 3: made it into your mother's room. God programmed into your 256 00:14:40,720 --> 00:14:47,480 Speaker 3: DNA blessing favor, strength, ability. He's already equipped and empowered you. 257 00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:50,920 Speaker 3: You need to go back to your original state. Have 258 00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:54,480 Speaker 3: the attitude I am a child of the most High God. 259 00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:57,280 Speaker 3: My parents may not have given me what I needed. 260 00:14:57,840 --> 00:15:00,320 Speaker 3: Other people may have tried to push me down. My 261 00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:03,120 Speaker 3: circumstances may not have worked out, but that's not going 262 00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:05,760 Speaker 3: to stop me. I know I have the DNA of 263 00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:09,560 Speaker 3: Almighty God. I know I have been pre programmed by 264 00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:13,080 Speaker 3: the creator of the universe with everything that I need. 265 00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:17,960 Speaker 3: That means you are strong, you are talented, you are creative, 266 00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:20,920 Speaker 3: you are disciplined, you are called, you are equipped, you 267 00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:24,840 Speaker 3: are chosen. You are a victor and not a victim. 268 00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:28,240 Speaker 3: Get that down on the inside. Get a vision for it. 269 00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:31,400 Speaker 3: Don't go around thinking about who hurts you and what 270 00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:34,920 Speaker 3: you didn't get and what didn't work out. God's DNA 271 00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:39,600 Speaker 3: will overcome any negative DNA. I think about a friend 272 00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:42,960 Speaker 3: of mine Jesse Barfield. He and his wife Marla have 273 00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:46,040 Speaker 3: been with us for years. For some twenty years, Jesse 274 00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:50,200 Speaker 3: played professional baseball. In nineteen eighty six, he led all 275 00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:53,520 Speaker 3: the major leagues in home runs. Jesse is one of 276 00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:57,680 Speaker 3: the most naturally talented, gifted athletes that I've ever seen. 277 00:15:58,160 --> 00:16:01,560 Speaker 3: Sometimes during the off season we'd played basketball together, and 278 00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:04,600 Speaker 3: even though that's not his main sport, he was ten 279 00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:06,880 Speaker 3: times better than the rest of us. He's in his 280 00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:09,840 Speaker 3: own league. It's just natural. He and marl I have 281 00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:13,360 Speaker 3: several children, and I've watched them grow up. Their oldest 282 00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:16,520 Speaker 3: son is Josh, and in high school, Josh was the 283 00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:19,880 Speaker 3: star baseball player. He went to college and did great, 284 00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:23,440 Speaker 3: got drafted into the minor leagues and excelled there. A 285 00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:26,040 Speaker 3: few years ago he got called up to the big 286 00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:30,000 Speaker 3: leagues and now he's excelling at the highest level playing 287 00:16:30,080 --> 00:16:35,480 Speaker 3: professional baseball. And statistics tell us that only one child 288 00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:38,600 Speaker 3: in a million will ever make it to the big leagues. 289 00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:42,600 Speaker 3: But what's interesting is Josh playing up in the big 290 00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:46,840 Speaker 3: leagues doesn't surprise me. I know who Josh's father is. 291 00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:51,760 Speaker 3: I've seen Jesse play. I've witnessed first hand his strength, 292 00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:54,960 Speaker 3: his speed, his ability to hit. You've heard the saying 293 00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:59,080 Speaker 3: like father, like son. That's in their DNA. It's being 294 00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:02,040 Speaker 3: passed down. When I look out at each one of you, 295 00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:05,439 Speaker 3: it's the same way. There is no limit to what 296 00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:09,080 Speaker 3: you can accomplish. I know who your father is. There's 297 00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:13,399 Speaker 3: no obstacle that you can't overcome. I've seen your father 298 00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:16,600 Speaker 3: do it. There's no challenge that's too much for you. 299 00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:21,040 Speaker 3: Your father always succeeds. There's no financial difficulty, there's no 300 00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:24,000 Speaker 3: lack that's going to hold you back. Your father is 301 00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:27,960 Speaker 3: Jehovah Jira. He owns it all. He's the Lord, your provider. 302 00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:30,959 Speaker 3: Why don't you get that down on the inside. I 303 00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:34,639 Speaker 3: have been preprogrammed for victory. I don't have to worry 304 00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:37,960 Speaker 3: about my future. I have the right gems. I don't 305 00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:40,520 Speaker 3: have to wonder am I talented enough? Do I have 306 00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:42,920 Speaker 3: what it takes? Am I going to be successful? No? 307 00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:46,560 Speaker 3: I know I come from a bloodline of champions. I'm 308 00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:49,359 Speaker 3: not average, I'm not badocre. I've got the blood of 309 00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:52,840 Speaker 3: a winner, the DNA of Almighty God, and he has 310 00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:56,680 Speaker 3: equipped me with everything that I need. If we can 311 00:17:56,760 --> 00:18:00,000 Speaker 3: just get a revelation of who our heavenly father is. 312 00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:04,560 Speaker 3: Growing up as children, we would travel with my father 313 00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:08,040 Speaker 3: when he would speak at these big conventions in different cities, 314 00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:11,400 Speaker 3: and very often we'd get preferential treatment because of who 315 00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:14,640 Speaker 3: our father was. People loved my dad. I could hear 316 00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:18,760 Speaker 3: them whispering about us. That's John O'steen's children. One time 317 00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:21,760 Speaker 3: we were in Chicago at this big hotel and they 318 00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:24,679 Speaker 3: were having the meeting in the ballroom, and I really 319 00:18:24,760 --> 00:18:28,520 Speaker 3: loved the milkshakes at the hotel's coffee shop. I was 320 00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:30,960 Speaker 3: about ten or eleven years old, and I was walking 321 00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:33,600 Speaker 3: through the lobby with my little sister April, and we 322 00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:35,919 Speaker 3: stopped in front of the coffee shop to look at 323 00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:39,159 Speaker 3: a picture of those milkshakes. They had an advertisement up 324 00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:41,520 Speaker 3: there on the wall of all their bakery items. And 325 00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:44,480 Speaker 3: as we were standing there, this lady came up and said, 326 00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:47,880 Speaker 3: aren't you John O'steen's children. I said, yes, ma'am, we are. 327 00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:50,480 Speaker 3: She said, well, if it'd be okay with you, I 328 00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:52,840 Speaker 3: want to buy you each one of those milkshakes that 329 00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:55,960 Speaker 3: you're looking at. I thought about it about two tenths 330 00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:58,840 Speaker 3: of a second, and I said that would be fine. 331 00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:01,639 Speaker 3: She bought us milkshake, and I knew she did it 332 00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:04,520 Speaker 3: because of who our father was. I was so proud. 333 00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:07,000 Speaker 3: I would walk through that lobby knowing that I was 334 00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:10,400 Speaker 3: something special. And for the next three days I hung 335 00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:15,240 Speaker 3: out in front of that coffee shop. Anytime I saw 336 00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:18,359 Speaker 3: anybody that halfway looked like they were going to the conference, 337 00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:20,560 Speaker 3: I would stand up there and stare at that milkshake, 338 00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:25,040 Speaker 3: hoping they'd buy me one. This one lady stopped again. 339 00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:28,320 Speaker 3: She said, aren't you John o'steen's child. I smile real big, 340 00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:30,680 Speaker 3: I thought, here it comes. I said, yes, ma'am, I am. 341 00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:33,280 Speaker 3: She said, well, good, maybe you can tell me where 342 00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:37,919 Speaker 3: the ballroom is. I was so disappointed. I pointed at 343 00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:41,720 Speaker 3: the restrooms and ran off the other way. I've never 344 00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:45,159 Speaker 3: told my mother that one. Now I know I'm too 345 00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:49,080 Speaker 3: old to get in trouble though. The studies tell us, 346 00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:54,440 Speaker 3: y'all not even listening to me. Now. The studies tell 347 00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:57,760 Speaker 3: us that a child gets their identity from their father. 348 00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:02,359 Speaker 3: Maybe you weren't raised with a good father figure, or 349 00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:04,880 Speaker 3: maybe you were passed from home to home and had 350 00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:07,240 Speaker 3: a lot of negativity and people trying to beat you down. 351 00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:09,840 Speaker 3: But that doesn't have to stop you. If you can 352 00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:13,399 Speaker 3: just get a real understanding of who your heavenly father is. 353 00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:17,120 Speaker 3: You have the DNA of a champion on the inside. 354 00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:21,040 Speaker 3: Don't go around feeling inferior because of what someone did 355 00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:24,360 Speaker 3: or didn't give you. Won't let that make you feel intimidated. 356 00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:27,639 Speaker 3: You've got the right genes. You are not an accident. 357 00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:31,200 Speaker 3: You are a person of destiny. There are gifts and 358 00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:34,439 Speaker 3: talents in you just waiting to be released. You have 359 00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:37,679 Speaker 3: potential that you've not yet tapped into. You've got to 360 00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:41,480 Speaker 3: shake off any kind of inferiority or low self esteem 361 00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:44,520 Speaker 3: and put your shoulders back, hold your head up high. 362 00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:47,399 Speaker 3: You are a child of the Most High God. You 363 00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:50,640 Speaker 3: have His royal blood flowing through your veins. What other 364 00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:54,720 Speaker 3: people did cannot stop you from fulfilling your destiny. What 365 00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:58,560 Speaker 3: somebody said about you doesn't change the DNA that God's 366 00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:02,080 Speaker 3: put in you. You have a purpose, You have a destiny, 367 00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:05,000 Speaker 3: and it's not given by people. It was given by 368 00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:08,240 Speaker 3: Almighty God. And if you'll stay in faith no matter 369 00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:12,119 Speaker 3: what's come against you, at the right time, your seeds 370 00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:15,520 Speaker 3: of greatness are going to activate and you will fulfill 371 00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:18,879 Speaker 3: your God given destiny. A friend of ours told how 372 00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:22,640 Speaker 3: he came from a very dysfunctional family his father died 373 00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:25,480 Speaker 3: when he was four years old. His mother made a 374 00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:28,639 Speaker 3: living by working the streets. One time, when he was 375 00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:32,280 Speaker 3: eleven or twelve, his mom left him on a street 376 00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:34,960 Speaker 3: corner in a large city and said she would be 377 00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:37,960 Speaker 3: back soon to pick him up. Well, three days later, 378 00:21:38,040 --> 00:21:40,919 Speaker 3: he was still standing on that street corner waiting for 379 00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:44,800 Speaker 3: his mom. He was confused and hungry, afraid, didn't know 380 00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:48,000 Speaker 3: what to do. But about that time, a man that 381 00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:51,440 Speaker 3: drove that way to work each day saw him standing there, 382 00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:53,919 Speaker 3: pulled his car over to find out what was going on. 383 00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:58,360 Speaker 3: The young men explained the situation. Long story short, this 384 00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:01,920 Speaker 3: man and his wife able to adopt this young man 385 00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:05,359 Speaker 3: in raise him in the natural. It didn't seem like 386 00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:08,000 Speaker 3: he had much of a purpose, much of a future. 387 00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:11,919 Speaker 3: But these new adopted parents, the man and his wife, 388 00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:15,960 Speaker 3: they started speaking faith into him. They started telling him 389 00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:18,639 Speaker 3: what I'm telling you, that you have seeds of greatness 390 00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:22,199 Speaker 3: on the inside. You have been pre programmed by the 391 00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:25,640 Speaker 3: creator of the universe not to barely get by, but 392 00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:29,400 Speaker 3: to leave your mark to make a difference. This young 393 00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:32,360 Speaker 3: man didn't realize it, but on the inside he had 394 00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:35,520 Speaker 3: genes just waiting to be activated. They just had to 395 00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:38,920 Speaker 3: get in the right environment at the right time. Those 396 00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:42,600 Speaker 3: genes were going to spring forth. Seven or eight years later, 397 00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:45,960 Speaker 3: this young man had a strong desire to help other 398 00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:49,120 Speaker 3: young people that were hurting and needy like he had been. 399 00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:53,000 Speaker 3: He asked the pastor where they were attending church if 400 00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:55,080 Speaker 3: he would get him a van so he could go 401 00:22:55,119 --> 00:22:57,640 Speaker 3: pick up needy kids and bring him to the service. 402 00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:00,840 Speaker 3: The pastor got him that van. Couple weeks later, he 403 00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:04,080 Speaker 3: needed another van. There were so many kids little while 404 00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:07,080 Speaker 3: he needed a school bus, and then another bus, and 405 00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:09,760 Speaker 3: another bus. He got to the point where he had 406 00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:13,399 Speaker 3: twenty five buses coming, then fifty, then seventy five, then 407 00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:17,679 Speaker 3: one hundred. Today, that young man has a ministry in 408 00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:21,359 Speaker 3: one of the toughest neighborhoods in Brooklyn, and every week 409 00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:26,159 Speaker 3: Bill Wilson still busses in over twenty thousand young people 410 00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:31,760 Speaker 3: to his church each weekend. He has the largest Sunday 411 00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:35,280 Speaker 3: school in America. Friends, it doesn't matter what it looks 412 00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:38,240 Speaker 3: like in the natural, you have a purpose, you have 413 00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:41,879 Speaker 3: a destiny. And the good news is your heavenly Father 414 00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:46,000 Speaker 3: has already equipped you with everything that you need. And 415 00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:48,440 Speaker 3: you may feel like like he did that you've got 416 00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:51,320 Speaker 3: a lot to overcome. But who your parents were, and 417 00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:54,040 Speaker 3: how you were raised, and who might have rejected you, 418 00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:56,840 Speaker 3: who might have hurt you, that is not a surprise 419 00:23:56,960 --> 00:24:00,879 Speaker 3: to God. Nothing you've been through or ever we'll go through, 420 00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:04,199 Speaker 3: can change the DNA that God's already put in you. 421 00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:07,600 Speaker 3: The thing that holds us back so often is we 422 00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:11,480 Speaker 3: forget who we really are children of the Most High God. 423 00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:14,320 Speaker 3: Now I love my parents. I had great parents. I 424 00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:17,560 Speaker 3: do my best to honor them. But I recognize I 425 00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:21,199 Speaker 3: am not just a product of my parents. I don't 426 00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:25,200 Speaker 3: just have their natural genes. I have been preprogrammed by 427 00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:28,320 Speaker 3: the creator of the universe before we ever made it 428 00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:31,320 Speaker 3: into our mother's womb. God had a purpose for us. 429 00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:35,280 Speaker 3: He already put the right DNA, the right genes in 430 00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:38,679 Speaker 3: each one of us. And really, we don't come from 431 00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:41,760 Speaker 3: our mother. We all love our mothers, but we came 432 00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:46,719 Speaker 3: through our mother. We come from Almighty God. That means 433 00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:51,760 Speaker 3: nothing that our parents did or didn't do can ultimately 434 00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:54,639 Speaker 3: hold us back, may slow us down a little, may 435 00:24:54,680 --> 00:24:57,920 Speaker 3: make it a little harder, but bottom line is God's 436 00:24:58,040 --> 00:25:03,879 Speaker 3: DNA overrides in Negative DNA statistics tell us that if 437 00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:07,159 Speaker 3: your father was an alcoholic, you have a ten times 438 00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:10,600 Speaker 3: greater chance of becoming one yourself. If your father was 439 00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:13,080 Speaker 3: hot tempered, you have a much better chance of becoming 440 00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:16,080 Speaker 3: that way. Or if our parents lived in poverty, there's 441 00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:18,840 Speaker 3: a good chance will live in poverty. But before you 442 00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:22,000 Speaker 3: just sit back and accept that theory, you need to 443 00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:25,439 Speaker 3: remind yourself. Before anyone could put a curse on me, 444 00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:29,359 Speaker 3: God put a blessing on me. Before I got one 445 00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:34,720 Speaker 3: single negative gene. God equipped me with blessing, with favor, 446 00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:40,080 Speaker 3: with talent, with creativity. You can overcome any obstacle. And 447 00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:43,439 Speaker 3: some of you, those genes are just waiting for you 448 00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:47,200 Speaker 3: to start believing so they can be activated. You need 449 00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:50,000 Speaker 3: to get in a good environment where people are speaking 450 00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:53,119 Speaker 3: faith into you. That's why I love to build people 451 00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:56,080 Speaker 3: up and not tear them down. You know what I'm doing. 452 00:25:56,280 --> 00:25:59,960 Speaker 3: I'm calling forth those seeds. I'm speaking to the gene 453 00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:03,200 Speaker 3: that have been pre programmed into you by the creator 454 00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:05,760 Speaker 3: of the universe. And I know when we hear words 455 00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:10,159 Speaker 3: of faith and victory, something resonates on the inside. Something 456 00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:12,680 Speaker 3: down in here says, this is for me, This is 457 00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:14,840 Speaker 3: who I am, this is what I was created to be. 458 00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:19,439 Speaker 3: Our spirit person comes alive. It's so important you get 459 00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:22,440 Speaker 3: around people that are going to stir up those seeds 460 00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:26,800 Speaker 3: of greatness. Don't surround yourself with a bunch of naysayers. 461 00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:33,440 Speaker 3: Life is too short to hang around negative, critical, cynical, skeptical, judgmental, 462 00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:41,240 Speaker 3: small minded, jealous people. I was about to say, did 463 00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:45,960 Speaker 3: I leave anything out? Find some dreamers, people that will 464 00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:49,520 Speaker 3: build you up, people that will celebrate your victories, not 465 00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:52,760 Speaker 3: people that are going to criticize and be jealous anytime 466 00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:56,760 Speaker 3: you succeed. I am who I am today in part 467 00:26:57,040 --> 00:27:01,560 Speaker 3: because Victoria spoke faith into me. Bill Wilson is fulfilling 468 00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:05,600 Speaker 3: his destiny because his adopted parents spoke faith into him. 469 00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:08,920 Speaker 3: You know what I'm doing. I'm speaking to the genes 470 00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:11,959 Speaker 3: that God's put in you. I'm calling those seeds forth, 471 00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:15,479 Speaker 3: and I believe today can be a new beginning. I 472 00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:19,879 Speaker 3: believe dreams are being restored, fresh vision is being released, 473 00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:24,719 Speaker 3: new hope is being activated. Friends, your best days are 474 00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:27,880 Speaker 3: not behind you, they are still out in front of you. 475 00:27:27,880 --> 00:27:30,679 Speaker 3: You may have been through a lot of disappointments in 476 00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:33,600 Speaker 3: the past. You may feel like other people or your 477 00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:37,080 Speaker 3: own poor choices has kind of cursed your future, But 478 00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:39,960 Speaker 3: just remember before anyone could put a curse on you, 479 00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:43,440 Speaker 3: God put a blessing on you, and the blessing always 480 00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:47,800 Speaker 3: overrides the curse. Get in agreement with God. I want 481 00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:52,080 Speaker 3: to speak it over you again. I declare that every 482 00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:55,399 Speaker 3: good thing God put in you will come to fulfillment. 483 00:27:56,040 --> 00:28:00,600 Speaker 3: Every gift, every talent, every dream, every desire will come 484 00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:05,560 Speaker 3: to pass. I declare you will fulfill your purpose. You 485 00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:09,159 Speaker 3: will fulfill your God given destiny and become all that 486 00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:13,159 Speaker 3: He's created you to be. I declare you will overcome 487 00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:18,479 Speaker 3: every obstacle. The strongholds of the past are being broken 488 00:28:18,520 --> 00:28:21,399 Speaker 3: off of you. The negative things that have been in 489 00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:25,000 Speaker 3: your family line, even for generations, they will no longer 490 00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:28,680 Speaker 3: have any effect on you. I declare the seeds of increase, 491 00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:32,399 Speaker 3: the seeds of success, the seeds of promotion are taken 492 00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:35,879 Speaker 3: a new route, and the DNA of Almighty God is 493 00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:39,360 Speaker 3: going to spring forth in your life in a greater way. 494 00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:43,040 Speaker 3: You're going to see new seasons of increase, new seasons 495 00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:46,800 Speaker 3: of God's blessings, new seasons of His favor.
