We'll keep you encouraged and inspired. I'd like 53 00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:30,079 Speaker 2: to start with something funny, and I heard about this man. 54 00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:33,440 Speaker 2: He called the church office and said to the secretary, 55 00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:36,320 Speaker 2: I want to speak to the head hog at the trough. 56 00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:40,160 Speaker 2: The secretary was offended. She said, if you mean the pastor, 57 00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:42,519 Speaker 2: you're going to have to call him pastor, but you 58 00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:44,760 Speaker 2: may not call him the head hog at the trough. 59 00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:47,720 Speaker 2: He said, well fine, but I was thinking about making 60 00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:50,799 Speaker 2: a ten thousand dollars donation to your church. She said, 61 00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:54,720 Speaker 2: hang on, poor k you just walked in say didn't 62 00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:57,640 Speaker 2: like you mean it. This is my Bible. I am 63 00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:00,000 Speaker 2: what it says I am. I have what it's says 64 00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:02,639 Speaker 2: I have. I can do what it says I can do. 65 00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:05,840 Speaker 2: Today I will be taught the word of God. I 66 00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:10,160 Speaker 2: boldly confess. My mind is alert, my heart is receptive. 67 00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:14,000 Speaker 2: I will never be the same. In Jesus's name, God 68 00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:17,600 Speaker 2: bless you. I want to talk to you today about 69 00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:21,560 Speaker 2: the hand of blessing. In the Old Testament, when the 70 00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:24,280 Speaker 2: father was up there in years and about to pass, 71 00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:27,720 Speaker 2: he would call his children in and place his hand 72 00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:31,680 Speaker 2: on their head. He would speak loving, faith filled words 73 00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:35,400 Speaker 2: over them. These words would help set the direction for 74 00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:38,920 Speaker 2: their lives. It was called the blessing. It was so 75 00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:43,600 Speaker 2: valuable that when Jacob tricked his father Isaac into giving 76 00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:48,040 Speaker 2: him the blessing that belonged to his older brother Esau, wept. 77 00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:51,640 Speaker 2: He knew he was at a disadvantage. His life would 78 00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:55,480 Speaker 2: be limited. Isaac couldn't believe it. He was so distraught. 79 00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:58,760 Speaker 2: He said, I have given the blessing and I cannot 80 00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:02,800 Speaker 2: take it back. The blessing would determine whether they would 81 00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:08,200 Speaker 2: live a victorious life filled with favor abundance, overcome whatever 82 00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:11,080 Speaker 2: came their way, or whether it would be a life 83 00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:15,360 Speaker 2: of struggle, hardship, not able to get ahead. Sons and 84 00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:19,320 Speaker 2: daughters looked forward to this blessing. They longed for the 85 00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:22,600 Speaker 2: day where they would fill their father's hand on their head. 86 00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:26,640 Speaker 2: It was a destiny moment. Some of us have received 87 00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:29,680 Speaker 2: this blessing from our fathers. We had great fathers that 88 00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:34,760 Speaker 2: spoke faith into us. Others their father wasn't around. Maybe 89 00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:38,159 Speaker 2: he spoke discouraging words, telling you what you couldn't become. 90 00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:41,720 Speaker 2: You could think you're at a disadvantage, you're limited. You 91 00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:45,280 Speaker 2: didn't get this blessing. That's the way David felt in 92 00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:48,920 Speaker 2: the scripture. His father looked down on him, saw him 93 00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:53,040 Speaker 2: as too small, not that talented. David could have let 94 00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:56,080 Speaker 2: that sour his life. Thought, I can't do anything great. 95 00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:59,600 Speaker 2: I didn't get the blessing. But David said and saw 96 00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:03,920 Speaker 2: one thirty nine. God, you have placed your hand a 97 00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:08,120 Speaker 2: blessing on my head, as powerful as the blessing is 98 00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:12,800 Speaker 2: from your natural father. Imagine your heavenly father placing his 99 00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:17,280 Speaker 2: hand a blessing on you. In the scripture, Jesus laid 100 00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:21,200 Speaker 2: hands on people and healed the sick. Paul laid hands 101 00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:25,320 Speaker 2: on Timothy to ignite his gifts. Fathers laid hands on 102 00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:29,080 Speaker 2: children to bless them. Laying on of hands was a 103 00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:33,800 Speaker 2: significant moment, a transfer of power in healing. When the 104 00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:37,560 Speaker 2: most tigh God placed his hand a blessing on your head, 105 00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:41,560 Speaker 2: he marked you for favor, He marked you for greatness, 106 00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:46,000 Speaker 2: He marked you to overcome obstacles. You're a marked man, 107 00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:50,480 Speaker 2: a marked woman. Not by defeat, not by failure, but 108 00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:54,200 Speaker 2: you are marked by the hand of Almighty God. What 109 00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:58,360 Speaker 2: other people do cannot stop the blessing. Here's the key. 110 00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:01,440 Speaker 2: They didn't give it, so they can't take it. It 111 00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:04,719 Speaker 2: didn't come from people. It came from your father in heaven. 112 00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:09,120 Speaker 2: Sometimes it's good to close your eyes and see that 113 00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:13,360 Speaker 2: hand of blessing on your life. When dreams seem impossible, 114 00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:17,160 Speaker 2: the obstacle too big, you're weary, you don't think you 115 00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:20,440 Speaker 2: could go on. Just picture the creator of the universe, 116 00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:24,919 Speaker 2: the God who spoke worlds into existence, laying his hands 117 00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:31,120 Speaker 2: on your head, releasing favor, healing, strength, breakthroughs. You are 118 00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:35,640 Speaker 2: not limited, You're not lacking God's hands. A blessing will 119 00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:38,920 Speaker 2: cause you to defeat giants. It will keep you safe 120 00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:41,760 Speaker 2: in a fiery furnace. It will part of red sea 121 00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:44,440 Speaker 2: when you're at the dead end. It will close the 122 00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:48,480 Speaker 2: mouths of hungry lions. God's hand of blessing is a 123 00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:53,160 Speaker 2: supernatural favor. Doors will open that you couldn't open. It's 124 00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:56,640 Speaker 2: a hedge of protection, keeping you safe from what should 125 00:06:56,680 --> 00:07:01,480 Speaker 2: harm you. It's a divine empowerment. You'll discover ability that 126 00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:04,600 Speaker 2: you didn't know you had. It wasn't good luck, It 127 00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:07,560 Speaker 2: wasn't you're so skilled. It was the most High God 128 00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:11,680 Speaker 2: putting his hand a blessing on your life. In the 129 00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:15,960 Speaker 2: Amplified version of the Bible, it describes this blessing when 130 00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:19,600 Speaker 2: you see the word blessed many times in parentheses. It 131 00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:26,200 Speaker 2: says happy, fortunate, to be envied, prosperous. Jesus said, blessed 132 00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:31,480 Speaker 2: are the peacemakers. The Amplified says blessed, Happy, fortunate to 133 00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:35,880 Speaker 2: be envied, prosperous are the peacemakers. This is the way 134 00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:43,360 Speaker 2: you need to see yourself blessed, happy, fortunate, to be envied, prosperous. See, 135 00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:46,200 Speaker 2: the blessing doesn't do you any good. If you think 136 00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:50,120 Speaker 2: you're limited. You've been through too much. Your family didn't 137 00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:54,200 Speaker 2: support you. You never get any good breaks. Limited thinking 138 00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:58,720 Speaker 2: will lead to a limited life. A blessed mindset will 139 00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:02,280 Speaker 2: lead to a blessed life. You may have obstacles that 140 00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:05,440 Speaker 2: look too big. You don't see how you can accomplish 141 00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:08,960 Speaker 2: your dream, But the blessing on your life is more 142 00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:12,880 Speaker 2: powerful than any force that tries to stop you. I 143 00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:16,120 Speaker 2: know today I'm not looking at average people. I'm looking 144 00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:22,320 Speaker 2: at blessed, happy, fortunate, to be envied, prosperous people. See, 145 00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:25,680 Speaker 2: we use the word blessed so commonly these days, we 146 00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:27,360 Speaker 2: don't always realize. 147 00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:27,679 Speaker 4: What it means. 148 00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:31,920 Speaker 2: How you doing, I'm blessed? Someone sneezes bless you, and 149 00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:34,760 Speaker 2: that's all good, But we need to understand what the 150 00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:38,800 Speaker 2: blessing is. It's an empowerment where you can live happy, 151 00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:43,880 Speaker 2: not dragged through the day, defeated, but joyful, with a 152 00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:46,840 Speaker 2: spring in your step, a song of praise in your heart. 153 00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:53,199 Speaker 2: Despite the circumstances. You can live fortunate, You see good breaks, opportunities. 154 00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:57,800 Speaker 2: Part of this blessing is to be envied. God wants 155 00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:00,640 Speaker 2: you to be so blessed that other people want what 156 00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:06,200 Speaker 2: you have, so healthy, so happy, so successful, so generous, 157 00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:10,360 Speaker 2: so stable, always in a good mood, that you stand out. 158 00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:14,280 Speaker 2: You're an example of God's goodness, not barely getting by, 159 00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:17,280 Speaker 2: but blessed in such a way that you can be 160 00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:21,120 Speaker 2: a blessing to others. You're not only accomplishing your dreams, 161 00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:25,480 Speaker 2: seeing overflow, setting new standards, but you're helping others to 162 00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:30,880 Speaker 2: rise higher. The scripture says that Abraham was very wealthy 163 00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:34,960 Speaker 2: with silver and gold. He had large flocks of cattle 164 00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:39,320 Speaker 2: and sheep, many staff and shepherds. He was so blessed 165 00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:43,560 Speaker 2: that people prayed to the God of Abraham. These were 166 00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:47,600 Speaker 2: people that didn't know Abraham's God, they didn't know Jehovah. 167 00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:51,480 Speaker 2: They weren't religious people. All they knew was this man 168 00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:54,920 Speaker 2: is so successful, so favored that we want to serve 169 00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:58,599 Speaker 2: his God. God wants to bless you in such a 170 00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:03,000 Speaker 2: way that others envious. They see the blessing on your life, 171 00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:06,439 Speaker 2: they see you standing out. That's what the scripture says. 172 00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:09,040 Speaker 2: You are the head and not the tale. You are 173 00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:13,280 Speaker 2: above and not beneath, lending and not borrowing. Don't have 174 00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:18,000 Speaker 2: a limited mentality, have a blessed mentality all through the day. Father, 175 00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:22,760 Speaker 2: thank you that I'm blessed. I'm happy, I'm fortunate, I'm 176 00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:26,679 Speaker 2: to be envied, I'm prosperous, which all that seems kind 177 00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:29,439 Speaker 2: of arrogant, doesn't it. No, we're not bragging on who 178 00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:32,800 Speaker 2: we are. We're bragging on what our heavenly Father has done. 179 00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:37,839 Speaker 2: He has placed his hand a blessing on us. You 180 00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:40,920 Speaker 2: have to get in agreement with God. God works where 181 00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:44,520 Speaker 2: there's faith, you can have this blessing and cancel it 182 00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:49,160 Speaker 2: out with doubt, negative thinking, I can't get well, I'll 183 00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:51,959 Speaker 2: never meet the right person, this dream will never come 184 00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:55,160 Speaker 2: to pass. Zip that up. There is a blessing on 185 00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:59,480 Speaker 2: your life that will override every negative force, A blessing 186 00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:02,080 Speaker 2: that will take you where you can't go on your own, 187 00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:07,400 Speaker 2: A blessing that will cause things to happen that are unusual, uncommon, 188 00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:11,319 Speaker 2: out of the ordinary. This is what happened with Isaac 189 00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:15,120 Speaker 2: Genesis chapter twenty six. There was a great famine in 190 00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:18,800 Speaker 2: the land. Food was very scarce, hadn't rained in months. 191 00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:22,440 Speaker 2: All the Philistines were just waiting it out, hoping things 192 00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:26,400 Speaker 2: would turn around. Isaac could have thought, too bad, I'll 193 00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:29,559 Speaker 2: just try to survive. This is a rough season. But 194 00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:33,800 Speaker 2: Isaac understood this principle that the blessing on his life 195 00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:38,240 Speaker 2: could cause him to prosper while others were struggling. See, 196 00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:42,480 Speaker 2: the Philistines didn't worship God. They worshiped idols. There's a 197 00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:46,600 Speaker 2: difference between you and those that don't honor God. They're 198 00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:49,640 Speaker 2: not bad people, But there is a blessing on your 199 00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:53,480 Speaker 2: life that will cause things to happen that defy the odds. 200 00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:57,200 Speaker 2: To where you stand out. People take notice that there's 201 00:11:57,280 --> 00:12:02,040 Speaker 2: something different about you. When they're strung, you're succeeding. When 202 00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:06,079 Speaker 2: they're complaining, you're praising. When they're worried, you're in peace. 203 00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:09,880 Speaker 2: Isaac went out in the middle of the drought and 204 00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:13,600 Speaker 2: planted his crops. His neighbors thought, what's wrong with this guy. 205 00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:17,079 Speaker 2: Doesn't he realize there's no way to water the crops, 206 00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:20,800 Speaker 2: no way anything will grow. But Birch twelve says that 207 00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:26,480 Speaker 2: same year, Isaac's crops were tremendous. He harvested one hundred 208 00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:30,520 Speaker 2: times more than he planted because the Lord was with him. 209 00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:34,440 Speaker 2: Notice where the blessing came from. It wasn't the water, 210 00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:38,880 Speaker 2: the soil, the seed. It was because the Lord blessed him. 211 00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:43,319 Speaker 2: God can favor you in a famine. He can prosper 212 00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:47,439 Speaker 2: you in a pandemic. The circumstances don't determine the blessing. 213 00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:51,199 Speaker 2: All the conditions may say you can't have a harvest man, 214 00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:54,559 Speaker 2: there's no water, you can't get well, you saw the 215 00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:57,319 Speaker 2: medical report. You'll never break the addiction. You've had it 216 00:12:57,440 --> 00:13:01,080 Speaker 2: so long. That would be true if you were the Philistines. 217 00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:05,320 Speaker 2: The difference is God has placed his hand a blessing 218 00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:10,320 Speaker 2: on you. The blessing causes supernatural things to happen. God 219 00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:14,120 Speaker 2: is not limited by your environment, by the economy, by 220 00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:16,920 Speaker 2: how you were raised, by who's not for you. He 221 00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:21,320 Speaker 2: controls the universe. You may be in a famine. Every 222 00:13:21,400 --> 00:13:24,320 Speaker 2: thought says you're stuck. It's never going to work out. 223 00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:27,480 Speaker 2: You keep doing the right thing, and your time is coming. 224 00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:30,280 Speaker 2: Like with Isaac, God is going to show out in 225 00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:33,840 Speaker 2: your life. You would think in the middle of a drought, 226 00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:37,439 Speaker 2: if Isaac got a normal harvest, that would be a miracle, 227 00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:41,720 Speaker 2: just enough to feed his family. But notice how God works. 228 00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:47,200 Speaker 2: Isaac's crops were tremendous. He had a banner year overflow. 229 00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:53,000 Speaker 2: Verse fifteen says, and the Philistines envied him. That's part 230 00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:56,479 Speaker 2: of the blessing. That you are blessed with such overflow, 231 00:13:57,120 --> 00:14:00,199 Speaker 2: that your talent comes out in such great ways, that 232 00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:03,920 Speaker 2: your business sees such increase, that your children do such 233 00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:07,360 Speaker 2: awesome things that people look at you and shake their head, 234 00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:10,360 Speaker 2: thank How did that happen. We're in the same drought, 235 00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:13,720 Speaker 2: we had the same seed, the same soil. We can't 236 00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:17,199 Speaker 2: get anything to grow. It's not the environment, it's the 237 00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:21,880 Speaker 2: blessing on your life. But I wonder if you're living 238 00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:25,680 Speaker 2: with the blessing and don't know it, are you canceling 239 00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:28,720 Speaker 2: it out with limited thinking. It's not going to happen 240 00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:31,280 Speaker 2: for me, Joel, you don't know how it was raised. 241 00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:34,160 Speaker 2: My boss is not for me. I don't have a 242 00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:39,560 Speaker 2: great personality. That's not important. What's important is the creator 243 00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:42,760 Speaker 2: of the universe has placed his hand a blessing on you. 244 00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:47,240 Speaker 2: Now start thinking like you're blessed, like you have an advantage. 245 00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:52,400 Speaker 2: Sometimes we're envying everyone else. I wish I had their talent, 246 00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:55,520 Speaker 2: I wish I had her looks, I wish I was 247 00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:59,440 Speaker 2: as successful as my neighbor. As long as you see 248 00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:03,040 Speaker 2: yourself lacking at a disadvantage, it's going to limit you. 249 00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:06,640 Speaker 2: And yes, it's good to celebrate others. But the right 250 00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:10,160 Speaker 2: attitude is Father, thank you that the blessing on my 251 00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:13,000 Speaker 2: life is going to cause me to be envied, that 252 00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:16,080 Speaker 2: people are going to want what I have. That's what 253 00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:19,560 Speaker 2: allows God to do great things, to prosper you in 254 00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:23,040 Speaker 2: a negative environment, to promote you when you weren't the 255 00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:26,040 Speaker 2: next in line, to heal you. When the report says 256 00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:29,040 Speaker 2: there's no way to take you where no one in 257 00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:32,600 Speaker 2: your family has gone. I know a man named Robert. 258 00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:35,960 Speaker 2: He was raised by a single mother. He never knew 259 00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:39,280 Speaker 2: his biological father. When he was five years old, his 260 00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:43,680 Speaker 2: mother married a man, but he was very mean and condescending. 261 00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:46,920 Speaker 2: He constantly told Robert how he was never going to 262 00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:50,440 Speaker 2: mount to anything. As a child, he didn't know any better. 263 00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:55,160 Speaker 2: He believed those lies and grew up very insecure, feeling inferior. 264 00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:59,600 Speaker 2: When he was a teenager, his mother remarried. This new 265 00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:03,800 Speaker 2: step father was just the opposite. He encouraged Roberton, told 266 00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:06,240 Speaker 2: him how talented he was and how he was going 267 00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:09,600 Speaker 2: to do great things. When he graduated from high school, 268 00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:12,640 Speaker 2: he was working as a janitor in a small town. 269 00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:15,360 Speaker 2: His father asked him what he wanted to do with 270 00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:19,360 Speaker 2: his life. He had been beaten down so long. He said, 271 00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:21,960 Speaker 2: this is all I know how to do, just clean buildings. 272 00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:24,560 Speaker 2: And his father told Robert that he had so much 273 00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:27,280 Speaker 2: more in him, said, Robert, I'll make a deal with you. 274 00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:30,720 Speaker 2: If you'll go to college. I'll pay for every course, 275 00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:35,920 Speaker 2: every book, every degree you get. Something came alive in Robert. 276 00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:39,320 Speaker 2: He went back to school and got his bachelor's degree. 277 00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:43,320 Speaker 2: Then he got his master's degree and then his doctorate. 278 00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:46,120 Speaker 2: He liked it so much he went to seminary and 279 00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:49,720 Speaker 2: got another degree. After four degrees, the father said, I 280 00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:56,520 Speaker 2: think that's enough. Today Robert is very successful, fulfilling his purpose. Now, 281 00:16:56,600 --> 00:16:59,880 Speaker 2: don't let what people have spoken over you keep you 282 00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:03,480 Speaker 2: from your greatness. The enemy would love for you to 283 00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:08,480 Speaker 2: live limited, not go after your dreams, not feel attractive, 284 00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:12,640 Speaker 2: not think you can be successful. When those lies try 285 00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:15,080 Speaker 2: to push you down, you need to close your eyes 286 00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:19,359 Speaker 2: and imagine God's hand a blessing placed on your head. 287 00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:23,639 Speaker 2: This blessing is more powerful than what people have told you. 288 00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:28,119 Speaker 2: It's more powerful than the lies the enemy whispers. The 289 00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:32,600 Speaker 2: blessing on your life will override every negative force that's 290 00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:35,520 Speaker 2: trying to hold you back. The only thing that can 291 00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:38,920 Speaker 2: stop the blessing is if you believe the lies. If 292 00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:42,240 Speaker 2: you think you're limited, you can't go further. You're not 293 00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:46,600 Speaker 2: that talented. Everyone in my family struggles. That may be true, 294 00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:50,119 Speaker 2: but you're the difference maker. You're the one to defy 295 00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:52,800 Speaker 2: the odds. You're the one to set a new standard. 296 00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:56,680 Speaker 2: If you'll have the right perspective, knowing that you're blessed, 297 00:17:57,280 --> 00:18:01,000 Speaker 2: you're fortunate, you're to be envied loss for us. Then, 298 00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:03,320 Speaker 2: like Robert, God is going to show out in your 299 00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:08,200 Speaker 2: life Numbers, Chapter twenty two. The king of Moab sent 300 00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:11,520 Speaker 2: word to Balem asking him to come and curse the 301 00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:14,920 Speaker 2: people of Israel. The Israelites were about to come through 302 00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:18,760 Speaker 2: the Moabites territory. When the king saw how many there were, 303 00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:22,240 Speaker 2: he was afraid. He sent his men with a large 304 00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:25,520 Speaker 2: amount of money. They said, Balim, we know God will 305 00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:28,480 Speaker 2: do what you ask. We'll pay you all these funds 306 00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:31,399 Speaker 2: if you will come and speak defeat over these people. 307 00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:34,080 Speaker 2: Balim asked them to spend the night so he could 308 00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:37,800 Speaker 2: pray about it. Verse twelve. God said, Balem, don't go 309 00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:41,520 Speaker 2: with these people, for I have blessed the Israelites. What 310 00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:46,440 Speaker 2: I have blessed, you cannot curse. God was saying, in effect, Balim, 311 00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:49,840 Speaker 2: there's no use going with them, because you can't cancel 312 00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:53,000 Speaker 2: out the blessing. The messengers went back and told the 313 00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:55,960 Speaker 2: king that he wouldn't come. The king sent more people 314 00:18:56,080 --> 00:19:00,240 Speaker 2: and more funds. Finally Balim went back with them. Was 315 00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:03,880 Speaker 2: so happy he called everyone out. Got this big audience. 316 00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:07,480 Speaker 2: Said go ahead, Baalim, do your thing. But instead of 317 00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:11,560 Speaker 2: cursing them, He blessed the Israelites. This happened three times. 318 00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:15,120 Speaker 2: The king was so furious he said, I didn't hire 319 00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:17,760 Speaker 2: you to bless them, I hired you to curse them. 320 00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:22,119 Speaker 2: Baalim said it again. I cannot curse what God has 321 00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:26,680 Speaker 2: already blessed. God was showing us that no matter how 322 00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:29,840 Speaker 2: hard people try, no matter what they say or do, 323 00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:34,200 Speaker 2: they cannot stop the blessing on your life. What God 324 00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:39,440 Speaker 2: has spoken over you overrides every negative voice, people telling 325 00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:44,040 Speaker 2: you what you can't do. Bad breaks dysfunction. This hand 326 00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:48,440 Speaker 2: of blessing will break every generational curse, things that keep 327 00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:51,760 Speaker 2: getting passed down. Now this is a new day. Freedom 328 00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:56,200 Speaker 2: starts with you. Wholeness starts with you, Abundance starts with you. 329 00:19:56,960 --> 00:20:00,879 Speaker 2: Victory starts with you. The blessing on your life is 330 00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:03,240 Speaker 2: going to cause you to go where no one in 331 00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:06,520 Speaker 2: your family has gone. Forces that have held you back 332 00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:10,359 Speaker 2: are being broken right now. God is about to release 333 00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:14,400 Speaker 2: you into new levels of influence, new levels of resources, 334 00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:19,080 Speaker 2: new opportunities, new relationships. You're going to be able to say, 335 00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:23,080 Speaker 2: not as faith, but as fact, I am blessed, I 336 00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:26,560 Speaker 2: am happy, I am fortunate, I am to be indeed, 337 00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:30,720 Speaker 2: I am prosperous, Joel. Nobody would ever envy me. 338 00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:31,040 Speaker 5: Man. 339 00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:33,720 Speaker 2: I've had a lot of bad breaks. I didn't have 340 00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:38,119 Speaker 2: a good childhood. I'm struggling with this addiction company let 341 00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:40,359 Speaker 2: me go, or this friend walked out of my life. 342 00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:44,120 Speaker 2: That may be true, but that's not how your story ends. 343 00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:47,720 Speaker 2: The blessing on your life is not just going to 344 00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:50,359 Speaker 2: make up for what went wrong, but it's going to 345 00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:54,120 Speaker 2: catapult you ahead. Nobody is going to know what you've 346 00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:56,680 Speaker 2: been through. When they look at you, You're going to 347 00:20:56,720 --> 00:21:00,919 Speaker 2: be so blessed, so healthy, so happy, generous, they're going 348 00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:03,840 Speaker 2: to be envs. Now you have to do your part 349 00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:07,960 Speaker 2: and have a blessed mindset. Can't go around thinking that 350 00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:12,400 Speaker 2: your average you've made too many mistakes, letting negative comments 351 00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:15,200 Speaker 2: talk you out of it. When you're tempted to think 352 00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:18,240 Speaker 2: that way, you need to close your eyes and see 353 00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:22,560 Speaker 2: that hand of God's blessing on your head. I have 354 00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:25,600 Speaker 2: some friends that live in another state. They were trying 355 00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:28,880 Speaker 2: to sell their home. The housing market in that area 356 00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:31,920 Speaker 2: was very depressed. A large company had gone out of 357 00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:35,159 Speaker 2: business where many of the employees lived. There were a 358 00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:38,919 Speaker 2: surplus of homes for sale on their street alone, there 359 00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:42,359 Speaker 2: were twelve houses on the market. The average time for 360 00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:44,480 Speaker 2: a house to sell was a year and a half. 361 00:21:45,280 --> 00:21:47,680 Speaker 2: Their relator had already told them to not get in 362 00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:50,960 Speaker 2: a hurry. It'd be a long process. Their value would 363 00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:54,720 Speaker 2: probably go down. Didn't look good in the natural. But 364 00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:58,520 Speaker 2: God is supernatural. The blessing he put on your life 365 00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:02,479 Speaker 2: will cause the right people to come to you. Instead 366 00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:06,240 Speaker 2: of living discouraged, you know, just making plans for defeat. 367 00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:10,000 Speaker 2: Every morning, this young couple would say, Father, thank you 368 00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:13,760 Speaker 2: that you're causing our property to stand out. Thank you 369 00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:17,040 Speaker 2: that you're bringing us the right buyers. Six weeks later, 370 00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:20,439 Speaker 2: their agent brought them a contract for the full amount. 371 00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:24,919 Speaker 2: At closing, the new owners told them that they had 372 00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:27,600 Speaker 2: looked at the other houses in the area, all the 373 00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:30,960 Speaker 2: houses on their street. Some were of better value, a 374 00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:35,480 Speaker 2: more desirable location. But they said, there's just something about 375 00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:38,760 Speaker 2: this house that stood out. We felt a peace here. 376 00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:42,119 Speaker 2: We knew it was supposed to be ours. That's the 377 00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:45,920 Speaker 2: blessing God put on you. It's on your property, on 378 00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:50,200 Speaker 2: your business, on your savings, on your children, on your health. 379 00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:53,800 Speaker 2: All those other neighbors, they were scratching their heads. How 380 00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:57,000 Speaker 2: did that happen. God knows how to make you envy. 381 00:22:57,720 --> 00:23:01,080 Speaker 2: He wants to bless you so others see his favor 382 00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:05,399 Speaker 2: on your life. When the Israelites were in slavery, the 383 00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:09,080 Speaker 2: Phaarah wouldn't let them go, even though God kept sending 384 00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:12,280 Speaker 2: them the plagues. God said to the Phaia rogue, I 385 00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:15,440 Speaker 2: have let you live for this one reason, so you 386 00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:19,240 Speaker 2: will see my power and my fame will spread throughout 387 00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:22,879 Speaker 2: the earth. Sometimes God will let you get in a 388 00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:27,840 Speaker 2: difficult situation. Things you don't understand. It's not fair. That 389 00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:30,800 Speaker 2: doesn't mean that you don't have the blessing. The blessing 390 00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:33,600 Speaker 2: is what's going to bring you out. God is going 391 00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:36,760 Speaker 2: to use that situation to show his power through you. 392 00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:41,320 Speaker 2: When people see how it turns around, how you defied 393 00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:44,399 Speaker 2: the odds, how you get a better position, how you 394 00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:47,080 Speaker 2: come out without the smell of smoke, they're going to 395 00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:50,480 Speaker 2: know the blessing is on your life. God will use 396 00:23:50,560 --> 00:23:55,200 Speaker 2: you to spread his fame. God sent this huge hellstorm 397 00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:59,639 Speaker 2: on their oppressors. Verse twenty six says the only spot 398 00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:03,880 Speaker 2: without hell in all of Egypt was the land of Goshen, 399 00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:08,280 Speaker 2: where the Israelites lived. The blessing on your life is 400 00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:12,240 Speaker 2: a hedge of protection. A thousand may fall at your side, 401 00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:15,640 Speaker 2: ten thousand at your right hand, but the blessing will 402 00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:18,320 Speaker 2: keep it from you. You don't have to live worried, 403 00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:21,480 Speaker 2: afraid of what might happen. God has you in the 404 00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:25,720 Speaker 2: palm of his hand. Nothing can snatch you away. The 405 00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:29,000 Speaker 2: Book of Job, God said to Satan, have you seen 406 00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:32,240 Speaker 2: my servant Job. There's none like him in all the land. 407 00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:37,440 Speaker 2: He's faithful, he has integrity, he doesn't compromise. Satan answers 408 00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:41,720 Speaker 2: something that gives us great insight. He said, why shouldn't 409 00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:45,880 Speaker 2: he serve you. You've always protected him and his family, 410 00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:50,240 Speaker 2: his home, his property. You've made him prosper us in 411 00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:54,440 Speaker 2: everything he does. He was saying, you have this blessing 412 00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:58,040 Speaker 2: on his life that keeps me from him. And yes, 413 00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:01,439 Speaker 2: we all have difficulties, we all go through tough times. 414 00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:05,600 Speaker 2: But like with Job, the enemy can't touch you without 415 00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:09,640 Speaker 2: God's permission. God is in control, not just of your life, 416 00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:14,560 Speaker 2: He's in control of your enemies. The apostle Paul experienced 417 00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:17,840 Speaker 2: this blessing. He was on his way to Rome when 418 00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:20,879 Speaker 2: he was shipwrecked on a deserted island. He went to 419 00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:23,840 Speaker 2: pick up some wood to make a fire. When he 420 00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:27,960 Speaker 2: reached down, a poisonous snake bit his arm as it 421 00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:31,639 Speaker 2: hung there. The natives of the island knew exactly what 422 00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:34,680 Speaker 2: was going to happen. They had seen it again and again. 423 00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:39,680 Speaker 2: The scripture says he should have swollen up, gotten sick, 424 00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:43,920 Speaker 2: and died. They waited and waited whole time. Paul just 425 00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:47,880 Speaker 2: went about his business. Nobody told him he was supposed 426 00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:51,399 Speaker 2: to die. Nobody told him the snake was poisonous and 427 00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:54,760 Speaker 2: he wasn't going to make it. It's amazing what happens 428 00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:58,480 Speaker 2: when we don't let fear and doubt and negative thinking 429 00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:02,440 Speaker 2: in our minds. After watching him a few hours, that 430 00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:06,040 Speaker 2: snake not having any effect, they decided that he was 431 00:26:06,119 --> 00:26:09,280 Speaker 2: a god. They weren't far off. He was a son 432 00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:13,520 Speaker 2: of God. It says he should have swollen up and 433 00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:17,520 Speaker 2: died because you have this hand of blessing you're going 434 00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:21,560 Speaker 2: to have. Some should have that illness should have taken 435 00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:24,960 Speaker 2: your life, but you're a healthy and home how you 436 00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:29,359 Speaker 2: were raised should have limited you, but you're successful confident. 437 00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:34,520 Speaker 2: That addiction should have controlled you, but look at you now, free, clean, 438 00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:38,800 Speaker 2: helping others. This pandemic should have taken you under, but 439 00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:42,360 Speaker 2: you're still standing. You should have been lonely, but God 440 00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:46,640 Speaker 2: said someone awesome. Isaac should have been stuck in the famine, 441 00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:52,120 Speaker 2: but he saw uncommon increase. Robert should have been insecure, limited, 442 00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:55,560 Speaker 2: but he has four degrees. My mother should have lost 443 00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:58,679 Speaker 2: her life to cancer, but she's still here. Forty one 444 00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:03,440 Speaker 2: years later, when we were trying to acquire the Compact Center, 445 00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:08,080 Speaker 2: the opposition was bigger, stronger. They should have overpowered us, 446 00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:11,840 Speaker 2: out maneuvered us. But like David and a slingshot, we 447 00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:15,440 Speaker 2: defeated the giant. Get ready for some should haves. It's 448 00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:20,040 Speaker 2: going to be unusual, uncommon. You couldn't have made it happen. 449 00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:25,480 Speaker 2: It's the hand of God's blessing showing out, making you 450 00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:28,600 Speaker 2: an example of his goodness. Other people are going to 451 00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:32,480 Speaker 2: see his favor on your life. Now, don't cancel it 452 00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:35,680 Speaker 2: out by living negative thinking. Your problems are too big. 453 00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:40,320 Speaker 2: Here the disadvantage. You can't accomplish that dream. That would 454 00:27:40,359 --> 00:27:43,680 Speaker 2: be true for ordinary people. I would believe that if 455 00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:46,800 Speaker 2: you were average, But I know who you are. Like 456 00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:50,639 Speaker 2: the patriarchs of old laid hands on their children and 457 00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:54,800 Speaker 2: blessed them, the most High God has placed his hand 458 00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:58,040 Speaker 2: a blessing on your head. It's a blessing that will 459 00:27:58,119 --> 00:28:00,600 Speaker 2: cause you to go where you can't go on your own, 460 00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:05,000 Speaker 2: to overcome what seems too big, to accomplish dreams that 461 00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:09,400 Speaker 2: look impossible. All through the day, Just imagine that hand 462 00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:12,960 Speaker 2: of blessing on your head. Father, thank you that I'm blessed. 463 00:28:13,520 --> 00:28:17,920 Speaker 2: I'm happy, I'm fortunate, I'm to be envied, I am prosperous. 464 00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:22,360 Speaker 2: If you will do this, I believe and declare, like Isaac, 465 00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:25,960 Speaker 2: you're going to prosper in the famine. Like Paul, what 466 00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:29,760 Speaker 2: was meant to harm you will have no effect. Like Robert, 467 00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:33,800 Speaker 2: any negative words spoken over you are being broken. The 468 00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:38,080 Speaker 2: blessing is overriding the curse in Jesus' name. If you 469 00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:42,200 Speaker 2: receive it, Can you say amen, I'd like to give 470 00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:45,360 Speaker 2: you an opportunity to make Jesus the lord of your life. 471 00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:50,200 Speaker 2: Would you pray with me? Just say, Lord, Jesus, I 472 00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:55,320 Speaker 2: repent of my sins. Come into my heart. I'll make 473 00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:59,680 Speaker 2: you my lord and savior. If you prayed that simple prayer, 474 00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:03,000 Speaker 2: believe you got born again. We'd love to send us 475 00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:05,240 Speaker 2: some information on your new walk with the Lord.
