Speaker 2: we'll make you feel right at home. I like to

23
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:10,560
Speaker 2: start with something funny and I heard about this elderly couple.

24
00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:13,640
Speaker 2: They were having a terrible time with their memory. They

25
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:17,120
Speaker 2: went to the doctor. He instructed them to start writing

26
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:20,440
Speaker 2: down everything they had been forgetting. The next night, they

27
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:23,120
Speaker 2: were watching television. The wife said, I sure would like

28
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:25,600
Speaker 2: a bowl of ice cream. Husband said I'll go get

29
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:27,880
Speaker 2: it for you. She said, honey, you know what the

30
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:30,800
Speaker 2: doctor said. You better write it down. He said, I'm

31
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:34,080
Speaker 2: just going into the kitchen. I'm not gonna forget. Came

32
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:36,520
Speaker 2: back a few minutes later, handed her a plate of

33
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:39,680
Speaker 2: bacon and eggs. She shook her head and said, I

34
00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:41,800
Speaker 2: should have known it. You forgot my toast.

35
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:46,560
Speaker 3: Say it like you mean it. This is my Bible.

36
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:48,360
Speaker 3: I am what it says. I am.

37
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:51,280
Speaker 2: I have what it says I have. I can do

38
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:54,000
Speaker 2: what it says I can do. Today I will be

39
00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:58,040
Speaker 2: taught the word of God. I boldly confess. My mind

40
00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:01,440
Speaker 2: is alert, my heart is recet. I will never be

41
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:06,360
Speaker 2: the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you. I want

42
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:10,240
Speaker 2: to talk to you today about favor connections. When I

43
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:13,079
Speaker 2: was a teenager, I was pulled over by a police

44
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:16,720
Speaker 2: officer for driving too fast. When he saw the name

45
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:20,360
Speaker 2: on my license. He asked if I was related to

46
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:24,200
Speaker 2: the pastor that he watched on television each week. I

47
00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:26,960
Speaker 2: told him that was my father. He gave me my

48
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:30,160
Speaker 2: license back, told me to slow down and said I

49
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:34,440
Speaker 2: could go. I received favor because of who I was

50
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:38,800
Speaker 2: connected to. Wasn't anything I did. I just happened to

51
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:41,800
Speaker 2: be the son of a man that was favored, and

52
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:45,840
Speaker 2: because I was in relationship with him, his favor spilled

53
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:50,320
Speaker 2: over onto me. The scripture says Noah found favor with

54
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:54,280
Speaker 2: the Lord. When a great flood covered the earth, Noah's

55
00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:57,840
Speaker 2: family were the only ones saved, but it never says

56
00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:01,640
Speaker 2: his sons had favor or his daughters had favor, but

57
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:05,680
Speaker 2: because they were connected to Noah, their lives were spared.

58
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:10,560
Speaker 2: The principle is when you're connected to people that are favored,

59
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:14,520
Speaker 2: people that are further along, people that are more successful,

60
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:18,240
Speaker 2: that favor is going to flow down to you. You'll

61
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:23,480
Speaker 2: see increased promotion because of that association. There should be

62
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:28,480
Speaker 2: people you're in relationship with that inspire you, that challenge you,

63
00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 2: that make you strive to do better. When you're connected

64
00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:37,440
Speaker 2: to someone that's blessed, you honor them, you learn from them,

65
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 2: You sew into them. The more blessed they are, the

66
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:44,120
Speaker 2: more blessed you're going to be. Eventually, you're going to

67
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:48,560
Speaker 2: look like who you're connected to. The question is, are

68
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:52,840
Speaker 2: you connected to anyone that has what you want? Or

69
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:57,840
Speaker 2: you connected to people that are negative, critical, can't get ahead,

70
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:02,160
Speaker 2: cause you to compromise, drain your energy. It's fine to

71
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:05,760
Speaker 2: be a good influence, it's fine to encourage them, but

72
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:09,240
Speaker 2: if you're spending all your time with them, the problem

73
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:13,160
Speaker 2: is you're going to become just like them. They're rubbing

74
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:17,200
Speaker 2: off on you. You need to disconnect from people that

75
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:21,839
Speaker 2: are hindering your growth, limiting your potential, causing you to

76
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:25,320
Speaker 2: compromise and find some fever connections.

77
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:26,560
Speaker 3: People that are.

78
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:30,200
Speaker 2: Going places, people that are at another level, people that

79
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:32,280
Speaker 2: have what you're dreaming about.

80
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 3: You need some eagles in your life.

81
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:39,680
Speaker 2: You cannot hang around with chickens and reach your destiny.

82
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:43,560
Speaker 2: You can't spend all your free time with crows, people

83
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:48,839
Speaker 2: that complain or turkeys, people that have accepted mediocrity.

84
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 3: You need people who are soaring, people.

85
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:54,760
Speaker 2: That are taking new ground, people that are out of debt,

86
00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:58,680
Speaker 2: that think bigger than you, people that are exposing you

87
00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:02,360
Speaker 2: to levels that you've ever seen. A few years ago,

88
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:05,440
Speaker 2: I went to this meeting with a man that runs

89
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:09,600
Speaker 2: television networks, a friend of mine. They were negotiating a

90
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:13,559
Speaker 2: contract for programming. He said, I want to offer eighty

91
00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:17,560
Speaker 2: million dollars. Almost fell out of my chair. I thought

92
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:19,680
Speaker 2: it was a big deal that we had spent eighty

93
00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:23,200
Speaker 2: thousand dollars to buy a screen for the church. They

94
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:27,039
Speaker 2: talked about these huge numbers like I talked about buying

95
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:30,760
Speaker 2: a pair of tennis shoes. I didn't realize it, but

96
00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:33,000
Speaker 2: God was expanding my vision.

97
00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:36,479
Speaker 3: He was using that man to enlarge my thinking.

98
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:40,240
Speaker 2: After the meeting, I was about to tell him, Wow,

99
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:44,560
Speaker 2: those were some incredibly big numbers. I felt something right

100
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:48,520
Speaker 2: down in here. Say Joel, zip it up. When God

101
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:51,440
Speaker 2: puts you with a bunch of eagles, don't have a

102
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:56,840
Speaker 2: chicken mentality. Don't start talking about how you've never seen

103
00:05:56,839 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 2: anything like that, how that could never happen for you.

104
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:04,400
Speaker 2: Let it take root on the inside. Breathe it in,

105
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:08,120
Speaker 2: get used to it. That's where God is taking you.

106
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:12,240
Speaker 2: That's why He's exposing you to new levels. Not to

107
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:15,240
Speaker 2: just impress you, not to just show you how the

108
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:19,200
Speaker 2: other half live, but to get you prepared in your thinking.

109
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:23,120
Speaker 2: You have to make room for the new things.

110
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:23,920
Speaker 3: God has in store.

111
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:27,840
Speaker 2: If you live with a limited vision, thinking it could

112
00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:31,640
Speaker 2: never happen it's too far out, then you're right. It's

113
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:36,120
Speaker 2: not going to happen. You'll never go where you can't accept.

114
00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:39,760
Speaker 2: And God gave you that favor connection to give you

115
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:43,279
Speaker 2: a glimpse into the next level, to show you where

116
00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:46,279
Speaker 2: He's about to take you. Now do your part and

117
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:50,520
Speaker 2: get in agreement with God. About five years after that meeting,

118
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:54,560
Speaker 2: we acquired this place, the former Compact Center, And when

119
00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:57,400
Speaker 2: I found out it was going to cost about one

120
00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:01,680
Speaker 2: hundred and twenty million dollars to purchase and renovate, I

121
00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:06,200
Speaker 2: didn't fall apart. I wasn't intimidated. I thought, God, you did.

122
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:07,960
Speaker 3: It for my friend, you can do it for me.

123
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:12,920
Speaker 2: But had I not connected with that man, had I

124
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:15,800
Speaker 2: only spent time with people at my same level, I

125
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:19,040
Speaker 2: wouldn't be here. My mind wouldn't have been prepared.

126
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:21,520
Speaker 3: You need people that think.

127
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:25,640
Speaker 2: Bigger than you, that dream bigger, that believe bigger. If

128
00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:28,720
Speaker 2: you're the smartest one in your group, your group is

129
00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:33,600
Speaker 2: too small. God has already lined up these favor connections

130
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:37,320
Speaker 2: for you. People that are ordained to help you go further.

131
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:40,160
Speaker 2: In the scripture, Naomi and.

132
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:41,840
Speaker 3: Ruth were both widows.

133
00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:46,280
Speaker 2: They were living in Bethlehem, very poor. Ruth would go

134
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:49,840
Speaker 2: out into the fields each morning and pick up leftover wheat.

135
00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:53,880
Speaker 2: It looked like this was their destiny, to just barely survive.

136
00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:58,240
Speaker 2: But Naomi saw a man named Boaz. He was the

137
00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:01,200
Speaker 2: owner of all the fields, one of the wealthiest men

138
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:05,920
Speaker 2: in that area. She not only recognized the favor on

139
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:10,120
Speaker 2: his life, but she respected it. She told Ruth, I

140
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:13,440
Speaker 2: want you to dress up, put on perfume, and go

141
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:18,080
Speaker 2: meet this man. She was saying, in effect, Boas has favor.

142
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:20,200
Speaker 3: We need to connect with him.

143
00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:24,280
Speaker 2: Ruth not only met Boas, but they fell in love

144
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:29,720
Speaker 2: and eventually were married. Because she connected with someone with favor,

145
00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:34,240
Speaker 2: she had more favor than she ever imagined. When you

146
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:38,719
Speaker 2: recognize the favor on a person's life and you respect

147
00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:43,280
Speaker 2: that favor by connecting with it, by honoring them, learning

148
00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:47,600
Speaker 2: from them, that favor will come back to you. Naomi

149
00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:51,000
Speaker 2: could have thought, oh, Boas, he's wealthy, he's busy, not

150
00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:53,760
Speaker 2: gonna have anything to do with us. She could have

151
00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:57,360
Speaker 2: dismissed it and just stayed with the friends where she

152
00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:01,800
Speaker 2: was comfortable, we wouldn't be talking about her. She recognized

153
00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:05,640
Speaker 2: Boaz was an ego, and she was willing to get

154
00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:08,880
Speaker 2: out of her comfort zone. No doubt, she had to

155
00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:12,280
Speaker 2: break away from a few chickens, spend less time with

156
00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:15,880
Speaker 2: a couple turkeys. She took these steps of faith and

157
00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:20,120
Speaker 2: connected with an ego. That's what opened new doors and

158
00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:22,839
Speaker 2: took her and Root to a new level. Are their

159
00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:26,120
Speaker 2: favor connections God has put in your life that you're

160
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:30,840
Speaker 2: overlooking people that have what you want, that are further along.

161
00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:36,520
Speaker 2: Don't be intimidated by their success. Be inspired. God put

162
00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:40,559
Speaker 2: them there so you could connect. If you will honor them,

163
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:45,560
Speaker 2: learn from them. Then because you're connected to someone with

164
00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:49,960
Speaker 2: more favor, more influence, more vision, like Ruth and Naomi,

165
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:53,720
Speaker 2: that favor will flow down to you. You will see

166
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:58,120
Speaker 2: new doors open, influence in greater ways. Promotion that you

167
00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:01,640
Speaker 2: couldn't have reached on your own. It came because of

168
00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:06,000
Speaker 2: a favor connection. See what you sow into, you're going

169
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:10,600
Speaker 2: to reap. If you sow into worry connections people that

170
00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:14,240
Speaker 2: are always upset, anxious, worried, You're going to reap worry.

171
00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:19,360
Speaker 2: If you sow into compromised connections, people that are pulling

172
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:21,960
Speaker 2: you down, causing you to give into temptation.

173
00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:23,600
Speaker 3: You're going to reap compromise.

174
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:29,320
Speaker 2: If you sow into gossip connections, critical connections, people that

175
00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:33,440
Speaker 2: talk bad about the balls, complain about life, you're going

176
00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:37,320
Speaker 2: to reap a negative, limited, discouraging life.

177
00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:39,679
Speaker 3: But if you sow into.

178
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:46,720
Speaker 2: These favor connections, into eagles, into people that are blessed, successful, happy,

179
00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:49,560
Speaker 2: people that have been where you want to go, that

180
00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:53,800
Speaker 2: are out of debt, building orphanages, paying off people's houses,

181
00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:59,280
Speaker 2: expanding their businesses, you're going to reap favor increase new levels.

182
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:04,360
Speaker 2: We all have our friends, we have peers, hopefully we

183
00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:08,680
Speaker 2: have people were helping, people were mentoring. That's important, but

184
00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:12,680
Speaker 2: we should have a few of these favor connections, people

185
00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:15,959
Speaker 2: that are far ahead of us in the natural. It

186
00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:20,080
Speaker 2: looks like we could never get there. That connection is

187
00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:22,960
Speaker 2: the seed God is going to use to take you

188
00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:26,679
Speaker 2: where you've never dreamed. A pastor friend of mine here

189
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:30,440
Speaker 2: in Houston had a church of several hundred people. He

190
00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:33,600
Speaker 2: started it fifteen years ago, and they had been at

191
00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:36,480
Speaker 2: that same number for years. It looked like they had

192
00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:39,960
Speaker 2: reached their limits. That's all they'd ever had he saw

193
00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:44,520
Speaker 2: this pastor in California that had a large church. He

194
00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:47,760
Speaker 2: was so impressed by it he flew out there just

195
00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:51,960
Speaker 2: to attend a service. He sat in the auditorium, looked

196
00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:56,640
Speaker 2: around and breathed it all in. Was very inspiring, never

197
00:11:56,679 --> 00:12:00,720
Speaker 2: seeing anything that large. After the service he was able

198
00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:04,160
Speaker 2: to meet the pastor. He gave him a small donation

199
00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:09,120
Speaker 2: that his church had taken up for their ministry. Every month,

200
00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:12,680
Speaker 2: he started flying out to California just to attend a

201
00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:16,880
Speaker 2: service and give a donation. He had plenty of pastor

202
00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:20,040
Speaker 2: of friends here in Houston, had good members in his church,

203
00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:24,679
Speaker 2: had a great family. But he understood to reach a

204
00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:29,120
Speaker 2: new level, you have to have some fever connections. You

205
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:34,080
Speaker 2: need to be so in time, energy, resources, honor into

206
00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:38,920
Speaker 2: people that have what you want. The anointing you respect

207
00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:44,199
Speaker 2: is the anointing you will attract. This man sewed into

208
00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:48,000
Speaker 2: a vision much larger than his. He could have been

209
00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:51,319
Speaker 2: jealous of the man, intimidated competitive.

210
00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:55,080
Speaker 3: Instead, he celebrated what he was doing. He cheered him on.

211
00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:59,839
Speaker 2: It wasn't long before his church started to grow. He

212
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:03,280
Speaker 2: went from three hundred to five hundred, from five hundred

213
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:07,080
Speaker 2: to a thousand, from a thousand to several thousand. Now

214
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:10,199
Speaker 2: his church is larger than the church in California.

215
00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:11,360
Speaker 3: He outgrew that man.

216
00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:14,640
Speaker 2: I don't believe it would have happened if he had

217
00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:18,720
Speaker 2: not sown into his ministry. Now I don't mean just finances.

218
00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:22,719
Speaker 2: He sowed honor, respect, encouragement.

219
00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:24,520
Speaker 3: He valued and.

220
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:28,040
Speaker 2: Esteemed what that man had built. But when we see

221
00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:33,040
Speaker 2: people that are more successful, more talented, more blessed, it's

222
00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:38,000
Speaker 2: easy to get jealous. Try to compete, discredit them, talk

223
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:41,400
Speaker 2: about what they're doing wrong, how they're not talented, they're

224
00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:42,000
Speaker 2: just lucky.

225
00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:43,000
Speaker 3: Here's the key.

226
00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:47,280
Speaker 2: If you can't celebrate other people's success, you will never

227
00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:51,640
Speaker 2: get to where they are. If you get jealous, try

228
00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:56,000
Speaker 2: to outperform them, intimidated, you'll get stuck.

229
00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:57,040
Speaker 3: It's a test.

230
00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:02,600
Speaker 2: God brings these favor connects across our path. Are you

231
00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:06,080
Speaker 2: secure enough in who you are to honor them, to

232
00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:10,200
Speaker 2: respect them, to cheer them on? Or will your pride

233
00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:14,280
Speaker 2: keep you from connecting with their favor? The problem is

234
00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:19,160
Speaker 2: your destiny is tied to certain people. When you connect

235
00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:22,000
Speaker 2: with the favor on their life, that's going to cause

236
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:25,760
Speaker 2: you to rise higher. But if we want humble ourselves,

237
00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:28,600
Speaker 2: if we think I'm as smart as them. I'm not

238
00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:31,160
Speaker 2: going to celebrate them, Joel. They should be celebrating me.

239
00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:35,240
Speaker 2: That's going to limit our growth. What you're connected to

240
00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:39,200
Speaker 2: eventually is going to come back to you. Don't be

241
00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:42,360
Speaker 2: small minded where you have to be the smartest one

242
00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:46,479
Speaker 2: in your circle. If you're only sowing into your level,

243
00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:49,360
Speaker 2: then your level is all that's going to come back.

244
00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:53,040
Speaker 2: You need to sow into where you want to go.

245
00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:58,400
Speaker 2: Swallow your pride and so honor into that supervisor at work,

246
00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:03,640
Speaker 2: So respect into that colleague that's really talented. They're not

247
00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:07,360
Speaker 2: in your life by accident. God put them there as

248
00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:12,040
Speaker 2: a favor connection. As you connect to them, new doors

249
00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:15,800
Speaker 2: will open for you, New talents will come out new levels.

250
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:19,880
Speaker 2: They are instrumental in you reaching the fullness of your destiny.

251
00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:24,160
Speaker 2: But too often when we see someone that's further along,

252
00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:28,160
Speaker 2: someone that's more blessed, instead of being inspired, we can

253
00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:32,880
Speaker 2: get discouraged, thinking we could never get there. God wouldn't

254
00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:36,280
Speaker 2: have brought them across your path if he wasn't about

255
00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:37,240
Speaker 2: to take you higher.

256
00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:39,520
Speaker 3: The favor on their life is.

257
00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:42,520
Speaker 2: An indication of what God is about to do in yours.

258
00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:47,080
Speaker 2: In the scripture, when they poured oil on erin the

259
00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:50,600
Speaker 2: high priests on his head, it flowed down to the

260
00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:55,040
Speaker 2: rest of his body. This is symbolic. Oil represents favor.

261
00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:59,720
Speaker 2: When you're connected with people with favor, the more blessed

262
00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:02,600
Speaker 2: they are are, the more blessed you'll be. That oil

263
00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:03,760
Speaker 2: will flow down to you.

264
00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:06,160
Speaker 3: When we understand this.

265
00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:10,240
Speaker 2: It's easy to celebrate those that are ahead. We know

266
00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:15,320
Speaker 2: because we're honoring them, sewing into them as they rise higher.

267
00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:19,760
Speaker 2: Because we're connected, we're going to rise higher. That favor

268
00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:21,200
Speaker 2: is going to flow down to us.

269
00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:22,720
Speaker 3: Like that pastor.

270
00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:26,880
Speaker 2: There will be times where you surpass what you're honoring,

271
00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:31,880
Speaker 2: you overtake what you're celebrating. When I first started ministering,

272
00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:35,119
Speaker 2: I was very nervous and unsure of myself.

273
00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:37,880
Speaker 3: I didn't have the training or the experience.

274
00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:42,280
Speaker 2: But there were several very prominent ministers that I knew

275
00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:46,840
Speaker 2: from growing up. I listened to their messages over and over.

276
00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:50,480
Speaker 2: I would send them notes telling them how much they

277
00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:54,560
Speaker 2: had helped men, how much I admired and respected them.

278
00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:58,480
Speaker 2: This one man, at least to me, he was a legend.

279
00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:01,600
Speaker 2: He was so far ahead of me. I was amazed

280
00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:05,439
Speaker 2: at what he'd accomplished and how respected he was. I

281
00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:10,040
Speaker 2: say this with humility, but now, nearly twenty years later,

282
00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:12,240
Speaker 2: God has taken me further than him.

283
00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:13,719
Speaker 3: What am I saying?

284
00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:17,600
Speaker 2: When you celebrate those that are ahead of you, you

285
00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:21,640
Speaker 2: show honor, respect, then some of the favor on them

286
00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:24,479
Speaker 2: is going to come back to you. You'll look up

287
00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:27,919
Speaker 2: and think, how did I get here? Part of it

288
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:32,399
Speaker 2: is the favor connection you connected with someone that was

289
00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:35,960
Speaker 2: where you wanted to go. That's why you don't have

290
00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:39,000
Speaker 2: to compete with people. You don't have to try to

291
00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:44,399
Speaker 2: outperform them. You're not in competition with anyone except yourself.

292
00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:48,439
Speaker 2: Let where they are inspire you to be the best

293
00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:51,840
Speaker 2: that you can be. Like iron sharpens iron, they can

294
00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:53,439
Speaker 2: sharpen you, they can.

295
00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:54,080
Speaker 3: Make you better.

296
00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:58,639
Speaker 2: But when we start competing, before long, we get jealous,

297
00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:01,159
Speaker 2: fine fault, try to discredit.

298
00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:02,720
Speaker 3: But here's the key.

299
00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:07,280
Speaker 2: Pulling somebody else down will never make you rise higher.

300
00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:12,520
Speaker 2: Trying to make them look bad, Spreading rumors, magnifying their

301
00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:16,119
Speaker 2: falls may feel good. The problem is it's going to

302
00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:20,919
Speaker 2: boomerang and come right back to us. If you sow disrespect,

303
00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:26,240
Speaker 2: you'll reap disrespect. If you sow spreading rumors, stirring up trouble,

304
00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:30,760
Speaker 2: that's what you'll reap. A much better approach is to

305
00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:34,840
Speaker 2: celebrate those that are ahead. How do you know they're

306
00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:38,760
Speaker 2: not a favor connection, somebody God brought into your life

307
00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:43,160
Speaker 2: so that you could rise higher. If you're jealous, competitive,

308
00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:46,840
Speaker 2: then you're letting what God meant for your good to

309
00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:48,600
Speaker 2: become something that's holding your back.

310
00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:50,120
Speaker 3: Turn it around.

311
00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:54,359
Speaker 2: Let's be people that celebrate success, that learn from those

312
00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:57,359
Speaker 2: that are ahead, that honor people that are blessed with

313
00:18:57,400 --> 00:19:02,680
Speaker 2: more influence. Elijah the Scripture was a great prophet, did

314
00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:06,440
Speaker 2: amazing miracles. One day he was walking by a field.

315
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:11,119
Speaker 2: He saw a young man named Elisha out plowing. He

316
00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:14,480
Speaker 2: told him to leave his animals and come with him. Well,

317
00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:17,640
Speaker 2: Elisha came from a well to do family. I'm sure

318
00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:21,679
Speaker 2: he had goals and dreams. Elijah wanted him to become

319
00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:25,240
Speaker 2: his assistant, basically, take care of him, bring him food,

320
00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:29,440
Speaker 2: set up his tent, feed his animals. Elisha could have thought,

321
00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:32,600
Speaker 2: no thanks, I'll stay here at my own place. He

322
00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:36,720
Speaker 2: could have been too proud, but he recognized the favor

323
00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:42,000
Speaker 2: on Elijah's life. He respected his anointing. He wasn't jealous,

324
00:19:42,640 --> 00:19:46,159
Speaker 2: he didn't get bitter. Because he offered him what seemed

325
00:19:46,160 --> 00:19:47,760
Speaker 2: to be a low level position.

326
00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:52,359
Speaker 3: For years, he served Elijah.

327
00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:55,760
Speaker 2: With honor, watching after him, making sure he was comfortable.

328
00:19:56,640 --> 00:19:59,520
Speaker 2: What you sew into is what you're going to reap.

329
00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:03,760
Speaker 2: When you sew into someone with great favor, you're going

330
00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:06,960
Speaker 2: to reap some of that favor. When you honor someone

331
00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:10,320
Speaker 2: that has more influence, some of that influence is going

332
00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:13,879
Speaker 2: to come back to you. I'm sure Elisha's friends came

333
00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:17,919
Speaker 2: around saying, Elisha, what are you still doing here serving

334
00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:21,160
Speaker 2: this old man? You have your own dreams. Why don't

335
00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:24,520
Speaker 2: you start your own ministry. He's holding you back. He

336
00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:27,200
Speaker 2: could have let them talk him out of it, thought

337
00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:31,720
Speaker 2: he was wasting his time, but he just kept on sewing, honoring,

338
00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:37,040
Speaker 2: respecting the favor connection. Well. Eventually Elijah was taken to

339
00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:42,199
Speaker 2: heaven in a whirlwind. Elisha received a double portion of

340
00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:45,919
Speaker 2: his anointing. He didn't just get the favor on Elijah's life,

341
00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:50,639
Speaker 2: he got twice the favor. Some of these favor connections

342
00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:55,520
Speaker 2: that you're sewing into, giving, serving, honoring, your time is coming.

343
00:20:56,119 --> 00:20:58,560
Speaker 2: Like with Elisha, you're not just going to go to

344
00:20:58,640 --> 00:20:59,560
Speaker 2: the level where they.

345
00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:00,800
Speaker 3: Are going to go further.

346
00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:06,399
Speaker 2: Double the influence, double the favor, double the resources. This

347
00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:09,560
Speaker 2: is why the enemy works over time to try to

348
00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:13,160
Speaker 2: get us jealous of each other, competing, trying to pull

349
00:21:13,200 --> 00:21:16,200
Speaker 2: each other down. He wants us to get stuck where

350
00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:20,840
Speaker 2: we are. It's very freeing when you can celebrate those

351
00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:24,680
Speaker 2: that are ahead, knowing that the seeds you sow into them,

352
00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:28,400
Speaker 2: the honor, the respect, the resources are going to come

353
00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:32,280
Speaker 2: back to you. But if you're only sowing into horizontal

354
00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:36,320
Speaker 2: relationships people at your same level, then you're going to

355
00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:40,160
Speaker 2: see horizontal favor. But when you're secure enough in who

356
00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:44,240
Speaker 2: you are to sew into vertical relationships people that are

357
00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:46,600
Speaker 2: ahead of you, you're going to read some of this

358
00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:52,760
Speaker 2: vertical favor. Many pastors sew into our ministry. They faithfully

359
00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:56,399
Speaker 2: support and attend to our events. They tell me again

360
00:21:56,520 --> 00:22:01,040
Speaker 2: and again how when they connected with us started growing

361
00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:05,760
Speaker 2: in new ways. One man told me recently, since twenty twelve,

362
00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:08,800
Speaker 2: he has gone from two hundred people to over six

363
00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:12,360
Speaker 2: thousand people. He said, Joel, I can pinpoint the exact

364
00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:15,439
Speaker 2: time it started when we connected with you at your

365
00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:18,720
Speaker 2: night of hope in our city. I'm not ragging. This

366
00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:22,800
Speaker 2: is a spiritual principle. God has people in your life

367
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:27,840
Speaker 2: that are favor connections. You could be one relationship away

368
00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:32,919
Speaker 2: from a new level. Look around. Find the people that

369
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:38,480
Speaker 2: God is blessing. Don't be intimidated, don't be jealous. Connect

370
00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:42,520
Speaker 2: with them. If you'll honor, respect, sew into them, that

371
00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:46,000
Speaker 2: favor will come back to you. I know a man

372
00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:49,120
Speaker 2: that had a dream of being in the hospitality business.

373
00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:53,000
Speaker 2: He wanted to own hotels. When he was eighteen, he

374
00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:56,120
Speaker 2: met an older gentleman that owned one of the largest

375
00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:57,520
Speaker 2: hotel chains.

376
00:22:57,160 --> 00:22:57,800
Speaker 3: In the world.

377
00:22:58,359 --> 00:23:01,000
Speaker 2: He convinced him to give him a job working as

378
00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:04,399
Speaker 2: a bellman at one of his hotels. Every time this

379
00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:07,720
Speaker 2: young man saw the owner, he went overboard to take

380
00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:14,560
Speaker 2: care of him, opening the door, carrying his briefcase, constantly sewing, honoring, respecting.

381
00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:19,200
Speaker 2: The owner loved this young man kept promoting him. In

382
00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:22,280
Speaker 2: his early thirties, he left to start his own business.

383
00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:27,240
Speaker 2: There was a piece of very expensive real estate overlooking

384
00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:30,560
Speaker 2: the ocean that this owner was planning on building a

385
00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:34,200
Speaker 2: big hotel. Well, this young man asked if he could

386
00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:38,119
Speaker 2: buy that property from him. This was their prime location

387
00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:42,240
Speaker 2: that they were planning on this big project. The owner said,

388
00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:44,800
Speaker 2: I never dreamed I would do this but you have

389
00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:48,200
Speaker 2: been so good to me. I want you to be successful.

390
00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:51,000
Speaker 2: I'm going to sell you this property. It had taken

391
00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:54,480
Speaker 2: them over ten years to acquire it. That young man

392
00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:59,760
Speaker 2: built a beautiful resort. It's incredibly successful today. He has

393
00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:04,359
Speaker 2: tells all over the world. It all started when he

394
00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:09,600
Speaker 2: recognized a fever connection. There are people God has put

395
00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:13,679
Speaker 2: in your life not to compete with, but to connect with.

396
00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:18,879
Speaker 2: They are instrumental in you rising higher. And this is

397
00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:22,000
Speaker 2: not about playing up to people trying to win them over.

398
00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:27,200
Speaker 2: It's about recognizing and respecting the fever that God's placed

399
00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:27,760
Speaker 2: on people.

400
00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:29,720
Speaker 3: Luke, Chapter five.

401
00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:33,800
Speaker 2: Jesus had just borrowed Peter's boat to teach the people

402
00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:37,560
Speaker 2: from the shore. When he finished, he told Peter to

403
00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:40,199
Speaker 2: launch out into the deep and he would catch a

404
00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:41,560
Speaker 2: great haul of fish.

405
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:42,960
Speaker 3: Well, Peter had.

406
00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:45,600
Speaker 2: Fished all night, but he went back out to try

407
00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:48,480
Speaker 2: it again. He caught so many fish.

408
00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:50,160
Speaker 3: That his net began to break.

409
00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:55,640
Speaker 2: Verse seven says Peter shouted for help, and his partners came.

410
00:24:56,359 --> 00:24:56,639
Speaker 3: Soon.

411
00:24:56,800 --> 00:25:00,760
Speaker 2: Both boats were so loaded with fish they were concerned

412
00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:06,000
Speaker 2: the boats might sink. Peter was blessed because he obeyed.

413
00:25:06,359 --> 00:25:07,240
Speaker 2: He had favor.

414
00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:10,720
Speaker 3: But notice the favor didn't stop with him.

415
00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:15,159
Speaker 2: He caught so many fish that his partners, those that

416
00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:16,760
Speaker 2: were connected with him.

417
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:18,600
Speaker 3: They received the overflow.

418
00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:23,280
Speaker 2: When you connect with someone that's blessed, someone that's favored,

419
00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:25,080
Speaker 2: as they increase.

420
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:25,840
Speaker 3: You'll increase.

421
00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:30,760
Speaker 2: Peter's partners hadn't done anything to really deserve the fish.

422
00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:35,080
Speaker 2: Peter was the one that lent Jesus the boat. God

423
00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:38,440
Speaker 2: could have just sent enough fish to fill Peter's boat

424
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:42,400
Speaker 2: made sure Peter was paid back, but God on purpose

425
00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:46,440
Speaker 2: blessed Peter in such a way there would be overflow,

426
00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:51,320
Speaker 2: so all in partnership, all those connected would see.

427
00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:52,919
Speaker 3: Increase in favor as well.

428
00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:59,120
Speaker 2: Who you're connected to is extremely important. There are blessings

429
00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:02,199
Speaker 2: that belonged to you, you that are attached to the

430
00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:06,240
Speaker 2: people God's placed in your life. If you're not seeing

431
00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:10,080
Speaker 2: any fish, you need to evaluate who you're connected to.

432
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:15,280
Speaker 2: You may need to disconnect from relationships that aren't producing

433
00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:19,520
Speaker 2: any increase and connect with people that are blessed, people

434
00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:22,960
Speaker 2: that are seeing favor. Peter's boat was not only full

435
00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:26,439
Speaker 2: of fish, but his partner's boat was full of fish.

436
00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:31,240
Speaker 2: You're going to become like who you're connected to again,

437
00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:34,880
Speaker 2: are you connected to anyone that has what you want,

438
00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:38,760
Speaker 2: people that are more blessed, people that are more successful.

439
00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:40,000
Speaker 3: Look around.

440
00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:44,960
Speaker 2: Find the favor connections in your life. Don't be intimidated

441
00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:49,080
Speaker 2: because they're further along. Don't be jealous because they have more.

442
00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:54,000
Speaker 2: Celebrate them, honor them, sew into them. If you'll do this,

443
00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:59,080
Speaker 2: I believe and declare because you're connected to favor like

444
00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:01,960
Speaker 2: Peter's friends, your boat is going to be full.

445
00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:03,360
Speaker 3: You're going to see.

446
00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:09,560
Speaker 2: Increase, promotion, new levels, the fullness of your destiny in Jesus' name,

447
00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:14,119
Speaker 2: if you receive it. Can you say, men today, I'd

448
00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:16,960
Speaker 2: like to give you an opportunity to make Jesus the

449
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:21,840
Speaker 2: lord of your life. Would you pray with me? Just say, Lord, Jesus,

450
00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:27,840
Speaker 2: I repent of my sins. Come into my heart. I

451
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:31,639
Speaker 2: make you my Lord and savior. If you prayed that

452
00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:35,359
Speaker 2: simple prayer, we believe you got born again. Get in

453

Speaker 1: For example, Quand's as he drifts away to Nirvana after

467
00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:29,159
Speaker 1: only the first chapter is different to Maya's when she

468
00:28:29,280 --> 00:28:32,880
