You can have the 75 00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:16,200 Speaker 4: last parachute. 76 00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:19,359 Speaker 5: The boy scout said, Sir, don't worry, there are still 77 00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:22,880 Speaker 5: two parachutes left. You see the smartest man alive. He 78 00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:27,120 Speaker 5: just jumped out with my backpack. Say it like you 79 00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:30,240 Speaker 5: mean it. This is my Bible. I am what it 80 00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:32,760 Speaker 5: says I am. I have what it says I have. 81 00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:35,880 Speaker 5: I can do what it says I can do. Today 82 00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:39,400 Speaker 5: I will be taught the word of God. I boldly confess. 83 00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:43,320 Speaker 5: My mind is alert, my heart is receptive. I will 84 00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:47,000 Speaker 5: never be the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you. 85 00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:51,040 Speaker 5: I want to talk to you today about something new 86 00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:54,840 Speaker 5: is coming. It's easy to get stuck in life when 87 00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:58,440 Speaker 5: we've gone through disappointments, had a set back, tried in 88 00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:01,320 Speaker 5: our dream didn't work out. We can settle where we 89 00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:03,680 Speaker 5: are and think this is as good as it gets. 90 00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:07,480 Speaker 5: But God said in Isaiah, I am doing a new thing. 91 00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:11,720 Speaker 5: Even now it springs forth. Can you not perceive it? 92 00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:14,960 Speaker 5: God is about to do something new in your life. 93 00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:18,200 Speaker 5: He didn't create you to get stuck at one level 94 00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:22,599 Speaker 5: and stay there. He has new opportunities, new relationships, new 95 00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:26,400 Speaker 5: favor It may look like you'll always struggle in your. 96 00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:28,000 Speaker 4: Finances, they'll get ready. 97 00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:33,039 Speaker 5: Something new is coming, promotion, opportunity, doors opening that you 98 00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:36,800 Speaker 5: never dream would open. The medical report says you have 99 00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:39,520 Speaker 5: to live with that sickness. It's been a long time. 100 00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:43,760 Speaker 5: God is saying, I'm doing a new thing. I'm restoring health. 101 00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:49,560 Speaker 5: I'm breathing energy, vitality, freshness into your body. That child 102 00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:52,839 Speaker 5: has been off course for years. You've accepted that he'll 103 00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:56,400 Speaker 5: never change. That would be true. But God is doing 104 00:04:56,480 --> 00:05:00,719 Speaker 5: a new thing. Forces of darkness are being broken. Purpose 105 00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:02,560 Speaker 5: and destiny are rising up. 106 00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:04,440 Speaker 4: You're about to see a turnaround. 107 00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:08,279 Speaker 5: Or maybe that addiction has hindered you your whole life. 108 00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:11,640 Speaker 5: You tried to stop, gone to counseling, nothing help. 109 00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:14,760 Speaker 4: This is a new day. Change that have held you 110 00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:16,120 Speaker 4: back are being loosed. 111 00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:19,880 Speaker 5: What's kept you in captivity is coming to an end. 112 00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:23,880 Speaker 5: Now you have to do your part and receive the prophecy. 113 00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:28,119 Speaker 5: You can't go around thinking you're stock. The problem's too big, 114 00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:31,240 Speaker 5: it's been this way too long. Turn it around, Lord, 115 00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:34,560 Speaker 5: I believe what you promised. Thank you that you're doing 116 00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:39,080 Speaker 5: something new in my life. When Isaiah prophesied this, the 117 00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:43,120 Speaker 5: Israelites were in captivity in Babylon. They had been there 118 00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:46,520 Speaker 5: a long time, year after year, nothing changing. 119 00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:51,000 Speaker 4: I'm sure they thought, we'll always struggle, we'll always be oppressed. 120 00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:54,800 Speaker 5: Then Isaiah showed up and said, get ready, God is 121 00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:57,880 Speaker 5: doing a new thing. They could have thought, yeah, right, 122 00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:01,280 Speaker 5: have you seen these enemies, how powerful they are. 123 00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:03,960 Speaker 4: All the circumstances say, we're stuck. 124 00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:08,000 Speaker 5: Will never live an abundant life, never own our own homes, 125 00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:09,200 Speaker 5: our children. 126 00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:10,040 Speaker 4: Will never be free. 127 00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:13,560 Speaker 5: Don't talk yourself out of the new thing God wants 128 00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:16,720 Speaker 5: to do. The odds may be against you, but the 129 00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:20,560 Speaker 5: most High God is for you. The Israelites had been 130 00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:24,279 Speaker 5: through many struggles, had unfair things happen, They had made 131 00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:27,080 Speaker 5: mistakes brought the trouble on themselves. 132 00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:31,039 Speaker 4: They could have been sitting in self pity, discouraged. But 133 00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:33,839 Speaker 4: Isaiah said, forget the former things. 134 00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:37,600 Speaker 5: Do not dwell on the past. Behold, God is doing 135 00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:41,599 Speaker 5: a new thing. The principle is if you're dwelling on 136 00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:45,200 Speaker 5: the past, you won't see the new thing. If you're 137 00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:48,800 Speaker 5: focus on who hurts you what wasn't fair? Why did 138 00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:52,919 Speaker 5: this friend walk away? Then you'll miss your destiny. God 139 00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:57,440 Speaker 5: is saying, forget the former things. Quit dwelling on your mistakes. 140 00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:01,279 Speaker 5: This is a new day. Living in regrets will keep 141 00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:05,400 Speaker 5: you from new opportunities. Reliving your mistakes will stop the 142 00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:08,839 Speaker 5: new favor. As long as you're looking back at the old, 143 00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:12,480 Speaker 5: you won't see the new. When you drive home today, 144 00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:15,880 Speaker 5: there's a big windshield in front of you and a 145 00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:19,680 Speaker 5: very small rear view mirror. The reason it's so small 146 00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:24,080 Speaker 5: is because what's behind you is not nearly as important. 147 00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:24,760 Speaker 4: As what's in front of you. 148 00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:28,760 Speaker 5: Where you're going is what matters, not where you've been. 149 00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:32,720 Speaker 5: Is there something you need to forget so you can 150 00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:36,040 Speaker 5: see the new thing? Something you need to quit dwelling on, 151 00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:39,320 Speaker 5: so you can step into the favor and abundance that 152 00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:40,160 Speaker 5: God has for you. 153 00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:43,640 Speaker 4: When someone hurts you, they do you wrong. 154 00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:46,440 Speaker 5: If you keep thinking about it, then you're letting them 155 00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:47,640 Speaker 5: continue to hurt you. 156 00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:51,320 Speaker 4: Don't give them your power. You have to let it go. 157 00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:52,760 Speaker 4: Give it to God. 158 00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:57,080 Speaker 5: He saw what they did, He saw your tears, your 159 00:07:57,080 --> 00:07:57,640 Speaker 5: heart ache. 160 00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:01,120 Speaker 4: He has beauty for those ashes. But here's the key. 161 00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:04,280 Speaker 5: You have to let go of the ashes before you 162 00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:05,840 Speaker 5: can see the beauty. 163 00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:09,560 Speaker 4: It's in exchange. God says, you give me the ashes, 164 00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:11,280 Speaker 4: you quit dwelling. 165 00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:14,200 Speaker 5: On the hurts, You forgive them, You move forward with 166 00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:17,320 Speaker 5: your life, and I'll give you the beauty. I'll do 167 00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:21,040 Speaker 5: something so great, so rewarding, that you don't even think 168 00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:24,520 Speaker 5: about what you lost. The new thing God has for you, 169 00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:30,080 Speaker 5: the new people, the new opportunities, the promotion, healing, influence, 170 00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:32,200 Speaker 5: will be better than you ever dreamed. 171 00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:35,240 Speaker 4: The Israelites were in captivity. 172 00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:39,280 Speaker 5: Not only were the Babylonians holding them, but all around 173 00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:43,360 Speaker 5: them was the desert. Even if they escaped, they couldn't survive. 174 00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:47,560 Speaker 5: But Isaiah explained what the new thing was. He said, 175 00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:51,240 Speaker 5: God will make rivers in the desert. What looks like 176 00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:56,120 Speaker 5: burn ground will be turned into fertile land. God was saying, 177 00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:59,280 Speaker 5: this new thing that I'm about to do, it's not 178 00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:03,160 Speaker 5: going to be now. It's going to be supernatural. That's 179 00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:05,600 Speaker 5: why you can't figure it out. It's not going to 180 00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:08,679 Speaker 5: be logical. What God is about to do is going 181 00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:13,120 Speaker 5: to be unusual, uncommon, out of the ordinary. You're going 182 00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:16,920 Speaker 5: to see rivers where there should be dry places. The 183 00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:20,960 Speaker 5: scripture says even in famine, the righteous will have more 184 00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:25,280 Speaker 5: than enough. Seems like in famine you would barely get by. 185 00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:29,559 Speaker 5: But God does things that defies the odds. Don't limit 186 00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:33,040 Speaker 5: this new thing to what you think can happen. If 187 00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:35,319 Speaker 5: I can just learn to live with this sickness, No, 188 00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:38,280 Speaker 5: God is going to free you from the sickness. If 189 00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:40,560 Speaker 5: I can just pay my bills, Joe, I'll be happy. 190 00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:42,599 Speaker 4: God's going to bring you into overflow. 191 00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:45,600 Speaker 5: If my child will just stay out of trouble, that 192 00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:47,559 Speaker 5: child is going to do great things. 193 00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:52,040 Speaker 4: You may not see how that's okay. It's not up 194 00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:54,800 Speaker 4: to you. It's up to God. He's the one that 195 00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:56,160 Speaker 4: makes rivers in the desert. 196 00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:59,880 Speaker 5: He's the one that parts red seas, cures the lepers, 197 00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:04,560 Speaker 5: multiplies the food to feed thousands. A lady told me 198 00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:08,160 Speaker 5: how her relative had passed away and left her a 199 00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:12,040 Speaker 5: small inheritance. She decided to invest it in real estate. 200 00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:14,880 Speaker 5: She bought another house and was going to rent it out. 201 00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:18,520 Speaker 5: The first people that came along seemed like fine people. 202 00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:22,040 Speaker 5: They worked for a nonprofit that helped children. She thought 203 00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:24,880 Speaker 5: this couple would be perfect. She didn't do all the 204 00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:27,800 Speaker 5: background checks that she should have, and turned out they 205 00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:31,600 Speaker 5: were dishonest. Three months into the lease, they stopped paying 206 00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:33,040 Speaker 5: rent and didn't tell her. 207 00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:34,719 Speaker 4: She had it set up to. 208 00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:37,480 Speaker 5: Go to the bank and she thought everything was fine. 209 00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:40,200 Speaker 4: They kept her from getting the notices. Well. 210 00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:43,760 Speaker 5: Several years went by and eventually the house was foreclosed on. 211 00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:45,800 Speaker 4: She lost all of her money. 212 00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:49,920 Speaker 5: She could have been bitter, upset, tried to get revenge, 213 00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:53,400 Speaker 5: but she said, I didn't make a big deal about it. 214 00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:55,239 Speaker 4: That takes maturity. 215 00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:59,000 Speaker 5: It's easy to make a big deal when we're hurt betrayed. 216 00:10:59,240 --> 00:11:02,240 Speaker 5: Why did this happen? I'm gonna get even. You have 217 00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:05,960 Speaker 5: to forget the former things. Do not dwell on the past. 218 00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:10,640 Speaker 5: That means don't let the hurts. The bad breaks, the 219 00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:13,880 Speaker 5: times you were taking advantage of soured the rest of 220 00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:16,440 Speaker 5: your life, cause you to live with a chip on 221 00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:20,680 Speaker 5: your shoulder. God knows how to vindicate you. He knows 222 00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:24,320 Speaker 5: how to pay you back. Year after year, she kept 223 00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:27,360 Speaker 5: being her best. Nobody even knew she went through the 224 00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:31,720 Speaker 5: bad break. She didn't go around complaining discouraged. She had 225 00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:35,480 Speaker 5: a song of praise. God sees when you're in the desert, 226 00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:38,960 Speaker 5: He's watching you in the lonely nights. The times you 227 00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:42,600 Speaker 5: were betrayed. You felt like giving up, but you kept going. 228 00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:45,480 Speaker 5: You could have held a grudge, but you forgame. You 229 00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:47,679 Speaker 5: kept moving forward. Wasn't easy. 230 00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:50,480 Speaker 4: You were hurting. The pain was real, but you didn't 231 00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:51,320 Speaker 4: let it stop you. 232 00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:54,960 Speaker 5: Six years later, this lady got a check in the 233 00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:58,800 Speaker 5: mail unexpectedly from the bank for one hundred and twenty 234 00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:02,600 Speaker 5: five thousand dollars. They said, we sold the property and 235 00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:04,000 Speaker 5: this money belongs to you. 236 00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:06,560 Speaker 4: She didn't even pay that much for it. She made 237 00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:07,040 Speaker 4: a profit. 238 00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:11,240 Speaker 5: God knows how to make rivers in the desert. He 239 00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:15,000 Speaker 5: knows how to pay you back for the wrongs. This 240 00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:18,360 Speaker 5: new thing he's going to do is going to be supernatural. 241 00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:22,800 Speaker 5: He's going to turn barren ground into fertile ground. What 242 00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:25,440 Speaker 5: looks like a loss is going to turn into a game. 243 00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:28,800 Speaker 5: Seems like a setback, but really it's a set up 244 00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:32,160 Speaker 5: for God to show out in your life. See the 245 00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:37,000 Speaker 5: desert represents barrenness, no growth. You're doing the right thing, 246 00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:41,000 Speaker 5: but your business isn't increasing, your marriage is not getting better, 247 00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:45,040 Speaker 5: your health not improving. You were passed over for another promotion. 248 00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:48,920 Speaker 5: You're in the desert, in those dry places. You could 249 00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:51,520 Speaker 5: be discouraged. Think it will never change. 250 00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:52,520 Speaker 4: Or get ready. 251 00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:56,200 Speaker 5: God is about to make rivers in that desert. He's 252 00:12:56,240 --> 00:13:00,880 Speaker 5: about to turn that barren land into fertile ground. Like this, lady, 253 00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:04,840 Speaker 5: You're going to see increase that you can't explain, favor 254 00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:08,640 Speaker 5: that you didn't deserve, healing that doesn't make sense, freedom 255 00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:13,000 Speaker 5: from things that have held you back. When Isaiah prophesied this, 256 00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:16,360 Speaker 5: the people could have said, thanks Isaiah, but we've had 257 00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:20,079 Speaker 5: too many bad breaks. This opposition is too big. We'll 258 00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:23,800 Speaker 5: never get out. You can stop the prophecy from coming 259 00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:28,000 Speaker 5: to pass. The Psalmist said, they limited the Holy One 260 00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:31,240 Speaker 5: of Israel. You can limit what God wants to do 261 00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:34,880 Speaker 5: in your life by doubt, negativity. 262 00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:35,240 Speaker 4: Speaking defeat. 263 00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:38,880 Speaker 5: My business is never going to grow. I'll never meet 264 00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:41,320 Speaker 5: the right person. I hadn't had a date in years. 265 00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:44,280 Speaker 5: Have you seen all that I've been through. You are 266 00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:48,360 Speaker 5: canceling out the prophecy. You may have obstacles that look 267 00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:51,640 Speaker 5: too big. You don't see how you can accomplish that dream. 268 00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:56,800 Speaker 5: Feels like you're stuck. You're in captivity, restricted by your environment. 269 00:13:57,440 --> 00:13:59,800 Speaker 5: God is saying to you what he said to them. 270 00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:03,480 Speaker 5: I am doing a new thing. I am making rivers 271 00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:07,760 Speaker 5: in those deserts. I'm turning the bearing places into fertile ground. 272 00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:10,320 Speaker 4: Now get in agreement with God. 273 00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:14,600 Speaker 5: Yes, Lord, this is from me today, I'll receive it 274 00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:18,079 Speaker 5: into my spirit. I'm getting ready for something new. Lord, 275 00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:21,600 Speaker 5: amaze me with your goodness. Turn this problem around. God, 276 00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:26,080 Speaker 5: show out in my life. It's significant that this promise 277 00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:30,400 Speaker 5: is in the present tense. God didn't say I'm about 278 00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:33,360 Speaker 5: to do a new thing one day. I'm gonna work 279 00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:36,440 Speaker 5: in your life. Sometime in the future. I'm gonna show 280 00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:40,280 Speaker 5: you my goodness. God said, I am doing a new thing. 281 00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:44,720 Speaker 5: It's already started. What God has for you is already 282 00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:48,880 Speaker 5: set in motion. This new thing is already in process. 283 00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:54,320 Speaker 5: The scripture says, now it springs forth. Spring fourth is 284 00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:57,520 Speaker 5: used when a seed is planted in the ground. You 285 00:14:57,560 --> 00:15:00,680 Speaker 5: can't see anything happening, but the seed has opened up. 286 00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:04,480 Speaker 5: It's springing forth, even though it may not come visible 287 00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:11,160 Speaker 5: for some time. There are promotions, healings, breakthroughs, divine connections 288 00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:12,920 Speaker 5: that have already sprung forth. 289 00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:15,000 Speaker 4: They're already en route. 290 00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:18,640 Speaker 5: Just because you don't see it doesn't mean it's not coming. 291 00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:22,280 Speaker 5: This is where your faith has to kick in. There 292 00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:27,080 Speaker 5: should be an expectancy not looking back. This pandemic is 293 00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:31,280 Speaker 5: so hard. My back's been hurting. This company did me wrong. 294 00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:35,320 Speaker 5: I'm in the desert, Joel. That's why I'm discouraged. As 295 00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:37,800 Speaker 5: long as you're looking back, you're going to miss the 296 00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:40,920 Speaker 5: new thing. You have to get prepared in your thinking 297 00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:44,640 Speaker 5: by faith. I can see the healing that's coming. I 298 00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:47,320 Speaker 5: can see promotion on its way. I can see my 299 00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:51,400 Speaker 5: child turning around. I can see myself free from this addiction. 300 00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:56,320 Speaker 5: Now it springs forth, not one day, not in the 301 00:15:56,360 --> 00:15:57,720 Speaker 5: sweet by and by. 302 00:15:57,760 --> 00:16:00,800 Speaker 4: Today God is doing a new thing. Today. 303 00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:04,200 Speaker 5: God is making rivers in your desert. Today, God is 304 00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:06,320 Speaker 5: turning your dry places. 305 00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:09,360 Speaker 4: Into abundant places. If you will stay in faith, you're 306 00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:12,400 Speaker 4: going to see the new thing. Like God did for the. 307 00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:16,000 Speaker 5: Israelites, He's going to bring you out of captivity. 308 00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:17,520 Speaker 4: He's going to free you from. 309 00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:21,240 Speaker 5: Limitations and negative things that have been passed down in 310 00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:24,960 Speaker 5: your family line. In this new thing, God is going 311 00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:30,600 Speaker 5: to break generational curses. Addictions, poverty, depression will no longer 312 00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:34,760 Speaker 5: hold you back. There's about to be streams in that desert. 313 00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:37,000 Speaker 4: That barren land is about to. 314 00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:41,000 Speaker 5: Be turned into fertile land, an abundant land. Dreams coming 315 00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:43,800 Speaker 5: to pass He's going to catapult you to. 316 00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:47,320 Speaker 4: Where no one in your family has gone. I talk 317 00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:47,960 Speaker 4: to a lady. 318 00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:52,280 Speaker 5: She's a single parent living in Compton, California. There's a 319 00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:55,080 Speaker 5: lot of great people in Compton, but of course it's 320 00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:59,960 Speaker 5: known for being a rough environment gains drugs. Her husband 321 00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:04,040 Speaker 5: was in the federal penitentiary. She's a school teacher for 322 00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:08,160 Speaker 5: thirteen years. She raised her son by herself. There were 323 00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:11,640 Speaker 5: a lot of negative influences, opportunities for him to get 324 00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:15,399 Speaker 5: off course, but she's a praying mother. Even though she 325 00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:19,200 Speaker 5: was in a dry place, she knew God could make streams. 326 00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:19,280 Speaker 4: In the desert. 327 00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:23,720 Speaker 5: Seemed like they were held captive by their environment, a 328 00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:27,679 Speaker 5: victim of their circumstances. Her son could have become a 329 00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:31,680 Speaker 5: statistic another child struggling off course on drugs. 330 00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:35,359 Speaker 4: But she believed God was doing a new thing, that 331 00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:37,280 Speaker 4: he was working behind the scenes. 332 00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:41,240 Speaker 5: Every morning before they went to school, they would listen 333 00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:44,560 Speaker 5: to our messagism.

She heard that promise, 343 00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:16,200 Speaker 5: and something came alive on the inside. 344 00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:17,680 Speaker 4: She knew that was for them. 345 00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:22,160 Speaker 5: Later that day, he received a handwritten letter in the mail. 346 00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:27,119 Speaker 5: It said, congratulations, You've been accepted in the Harvard's University. 347 00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:33,280 Speaker 5: He was the first African American student ever accepted from Compton. 348 00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:37,679 Speaker 5: God knows how to make rivers in the desert.

God wants to make you an example 356 00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:12,399 Speaker 5: of his goodness. He's already set in motion something better 357 00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:13,600 Speaker 5: than you can imagine. 358 00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:16,680 Speaker 4: You can't see it yet, but that doesn't mean it's 359 00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:17,440 Speaker 4: not in Ralph. 360 00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:21,560 Speaker 5: Keep believing, keep talking like it's on the way, keep 361 00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:24,399 Speaker 5: doing the right thing. Like with them, You're going to 362 00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:29,199 Speaker 5: see God exceed your expectations today. This young man is 363 00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:32,920 Speaker 5: a senior at Harvard, and recently he was chosen as 364 00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:36,440 Speaker 5: a Rhodes Scholar, one of only thirty two from America. 365 00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:40,199 Speaker 5: Not long ago, he was accepted in the Yale Law School. 366 00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:43,359 Speaker 5: If you could see what God is doing behind the 367 00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:47,400 Speaker 5: scenes in your life, you would be amazed. He's already 368 00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:52,000 Speaker 5: lined up the good breaks, the right people, solutions to problems. 369 00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:55,320 Speaker 5: The new thing is not going to be ordinary. It's 370 00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:58,680 Speaker 5: going to catapult you ahead. You're not going to stay 371 00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:02,359 Speaker 5: in any kind of capivity. Don't believe those lies that 372 00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:05,920 Speaker 5: you're stuck. Look at my environment, look at how I 373 00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:08,840 Speaker 5: was raised. I don't have the funds for my dreams. 374 00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:13,040 Speaker 5: I'll always be restricted by these limitations. That's what it 375 00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:15,600 Speaker 5: looked like for this young man. That's how it looked 376 00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:18,960 Speaker 5: for the Israelites. But God showed up and said, I'm 377 00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:22,520 Speaker 5: doing a new thing. I'm gonna make rivers in those deserts. 378 00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:26,720 Speaker 4: God is saying that to you. Where you are is 379 00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:27,800 Speaker 4: not your destiny. 380 00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:31,959 Speaker 5: You haven't reached your limits, you haven't seen your best days. 381 00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:35,000 Speaker 5: This new thing is going to be something that you've 382 00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:40,080 Speaker 5: never seen. The scripture says, can you not perceive it? 383 00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:43,280 Speaker 5: It implies that God can be doing it, but there's 384 00:20:43,320 --> 00:20:46,160 Speaker 5: no sign of it. Joel, I don't see anything new 385 00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:49,680 Speaker 5: happening in my life. I'm still struggling, I'm still lonely, 386 00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:53,400 Speaker 5: still sick, I still have this problem at work. Yes, 387 00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:56,160 Speaker 5: but what you can't see is the new thing has 388 00:20:56,200 --> 00:21:00,800 Speaker 5: already sprung forth. It's already in motion. This mother could 389 00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:03,359 Speaker 5: have thought nothing was happening for many years. 390 00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:06,880 Speaker 4: When her son was thirteen. She didn't have the funds for. 391 00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:10,520 Speaker 5: College fourteen, no funds fifteen, nothing better. 392 00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:12,720 Speaker 4: She was in the desert, didn't. 393 00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:15,760 Speaker 5: See any sign of rivers, no sign that things were. 394 00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:16,840 Speaker 4: Going to change. 395 00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:19,920 Speaker 5: But just because you don't see anything, does it mean 396 00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:20,920 Speaker 5: it's not on the way. 397 00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:23,960 Speaker 4: At the right time, it's going to show up. 398 00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:28,240 Speaker 5: You could see your new thing tomorrow. You could see 399 00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:32,200 Speaker 5: your breakthrough this week. You could get that scholarship this month. 400 00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:36,720 Speaker 5: You could see your healing, your promotion, your abundance this year. 401 00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:39,840 Speaker 5: When God says He's going to do a new thing, 402 00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:43,360 Speaker 5: that means it's not going to be like the old thing. 403 00:21:43,960 --> 00:21:47,439 Speaker 5: It's going to be different. The new thing may not 404 00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:49,280 Speaker 5: be what you were expecting. 405 00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:52,680 Speaker 4: It may not happen the way you thought it would. 406 00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:56,880 Speaker 5: The Israelites could have thought God just defeat these Babylonians 407 00:21:56,960 --> 00:21:59,840 Speaker 5: and will live here. They didn't think that God would 408 00:21:59,840 --> 00:22:03,200 Speaker 5: take them into the desert. How could they survive out there. 409 00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:06,479 Speaker 5: God was going to do it a different way. He 410 00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:10,159 Speaker 5: was going to make streams in the desert. Stay open 411 00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:13,040 Speaker 5: for how God is going to do it. Don't put 412 00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:16,200 Speaker 5: him in a box and limit him to one way. 413 00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:18,960 Speaker 5: Most of the time, the way we want it done 414 00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:22,280 Speaker 5: is less than what God has in mind. What He 415 00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:26,440 Speaker 5: has planned will be much bigger, much better. Trust him 416 00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:29,360 Speaker 5: to do it his way. If we're set and how 417 00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:31,920 Speaker 5: we want it to happen, we can miss the new thing. 418 00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:35,440 Speaker 4: I was in another city driving a rental car. 419 00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:39,560 Speaker 5: Recently, Victoria ran into the store to shop for a minute. 420 00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:41,640 Speaker 5: I waited in the car and was going to make 421 00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:44,679 Speaker 5: some phone calls. She said it'd be about fifteen minutes. 422 00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:49,359 Speaker 5: After an hour, my phone battery died. I usually bring 423 00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:52,040 Speaker 5: my phone charger to plug into the car, but I 424 00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:55,320 Speaker 5: forgot it. I looked in the glove compartment for one. 425 00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:57,639 Speaker 5: Looked in Victoria's. 426 00:22:56,960 --> 00:22:58,959 Speaker 4: Bag, maybe she had one, but nothing. 427 00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:02,080 Speaker 5: I sat there and waited and waited, thinking about all 428 00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:03,320 Speaker 5: the work I could be doing. 429 00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:05,680 Speaker 4: At one point I looked down by the. 430 00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:09,320 Speaker 5: Gearshift and I saw this rubber pad about the size 431 00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:12,359 Speaker 5: of a phone. I thought that's interesting, and I sat 432 00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:16,480 Speaker 5: my phone there. I heard my phone buzz it started charging. 433 00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:20,160 Speaker 5: I had a charger the whole time, but it wasn't 434 00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:22,600 Speaker 5: what I was used to. I thought there would be 435 00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:24,720 Speaker 5: a cord and I would have to plug it in. 436 00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:28,240 Speaker 5: Can I tell you some of the new things God 437 00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:30,720 Speaker 5: is going to do in your life is not going. 438 00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:32,000 Speaker 4: To be what you're expecting. 439 00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:37,040 Speaker 5: He's going to do it a different way, with different people. 440 00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:38,800 Speaker 4: Different circumstances. 441 00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:41,800 Speaker 5: Could it be that God is doing a new thing 442 00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:43,680 Speaker 5: now and you don't perceive it. 443 00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:46,560 Speaker 4: He's opening a door, but you don't want to go 444 00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:48,960 Speaker 4: through it. It's not what you thought it would look like. 445 00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:53,400 Speaker 5: He's bringing people across your path that are divine connections, 446 00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:57,000 Speaker 5: but they're not what you were expecting. Don't get set 447 00:23:57,080 --> 00:24:00,760 Speaker 5: in your way. The new thing may not look like what. 448 00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:01,560 Speaker 4: You had in mind. 449 00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:05,720 Speaker 5: A few years after I started ministering. The church began 450 00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:09,600 Speaker 5: to grow. I thought we would build a new auditorium. 451 00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:11,800 Speaker 5: That's the way I had seen my father do it 452 00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:16,080 Speaker 5: growing up. He had built Sanctuary after Sanctuary. We found 453 00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:19,240 Speaker 5: some property right off the freeway by the other location. 454 00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:22,600 Speaker 5: It seemed perfect to me, but when we went to 455 00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:25,520 Speaker 5: close on it, the owner sold it out from under us. 456 00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:26,879 Speaker 4: He didn't keep his word. 457 00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:30,399 Speaker 5: I was disappointed. I knew that property was supposed to 458 00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:34,040 Speaker 5: be ours. We found another one hundred acre track not 459 00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:34,720 Speaker 5: far away. 460 00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:36,160 Speaker 4: The same thing happened. 461 00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:40,320 Speaker 5: I couldn't understand why these doors kept closing. There were 462 00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:42,720 Speaker 5: no more large tracts of land to build on it 463 00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:43,800 Speaker 5: by the other location. 464 00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:46,960 Speaker 4: My father always said that he would never move the church. 465 00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:50,359 Speaker 5: My mind wasn't open for the new thing that God 466 00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:54,480 Speaker 5: had in store. About six months later, the Compact Center 467 00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:58,520 Speaker 5: came available. I never dreamed we could have this building. 468 00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:02,280 Speaker 5: This was so much big and better than I ever imagined. 469 00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:05,320 Speaker 5: It was a three year battle, but we saw the 470 00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:08,960 Speaker 5: hand of God make rivers in the desert, move giants 471 00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:11,480 Speaker 5: out of the way, and bring the right people to 472 00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:16,240 Speaker 5: help us. We had a consultant that was very influential, 473 00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:19,480 Speaker 5: knew all the inner workings of the city. He had 474 00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:22,280 Speaker 5: never been to church, didn't have anything to do with 475 00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:23,320 Speaker 5: God or faith. 476 00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:26,320 Speaker 4: He partied, used bad language. 477 00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:28,880 Speaker 5: Curse people out, But he said, Joel, I like you, 478 00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:32,000 Speaker 5: and I'm gonna help you get this building. God has 479 00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:35,240 Speaker 5: already lined up the people you need for the new thing. 480 00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:36,600 Speaker 4: Stay open. 481 00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:39,880 Speaker 5: It may not happen the way you're expecting. 482 00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:43,200 Speaker 4: Can I encourage you? God's way will. 483 00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:47,000 Speaker 5: Be better, bigger, more rewarding, more fulfilling. 484 00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:49,399 Speaker 4: Don't limit what. 485 00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:51,879 Speaker 5: You've seen in the past to what God is going 486 00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:55,040 Speaker 5: to do in your future. God never does his greatest 487 00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:56,560 Speaker 5: feats in your yesterdays. 488 00:25:56,920 --> 00:25:58,399 Speaker 4: They're always in your tomorrows. 489 00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:02,560 Speaker 5: God said in our I am the one that opened 490 00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:06,240 Speaker 5: away through the waters, making a dry path through the sea. 491 00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:10,520 Speaker 5: I called forth the mighty armies of Pharaoh and drowned 492 00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:13,679 Speaker 5: them in the waters. But forget about all of that. 493 00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:16,880 Speaker 5: It's nothing compared to what I'm about to do. 494 00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:19,240 Speaker 4: For I am doing a brand new thing. 495 00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:23,760 Speaker 5: This brand new thing God is about to do is not. 496 00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:26,240 Speaker 4: Going to be like anything you've seen in the past. 497 00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:29,760 Speaker 5: We can all look back and see where God has 498 00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:30,960 Speaker 5: parted red seas in. 499 00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:34,080 Speaker 4: Our lives, where he opened a door that shouldn't have opened. 500 00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:36,560 Speaker 5: Had us in the right place at the right time, 501 00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:39,720 Speaker 5: and we got the job. We met that person and 502 00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:42,359 Speaker 5: fell in love. He turned our health around when it 503 00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:45,040 Speaker 5: didn't look good. We're grateful. We know it was the 504 00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:48,680 Speaker 5: hand of God. But God is saying, you haven't seen 505 00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:52,359 Speaker 5: anything yet. Forget about all of that and get ready 506 00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:56,280 Speaker 5: for something awesome, something that you haven't seen, something that. 507 00:26:56,200 --> 00:26:58,000 Speaker 4: Propels you to a new level. 508 00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:01,320 Speaker 5: When you see this new thing, you're going to stand 509 00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:05,439 Speaker 5: in amazement and say, Wow, look what the Lord has done. 510 00:27:05,560 --> 00:27:08,440 Speaker 5: I believe the reason God told them to forget about 511 00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:11,359 Speaker 5: the Red Sea being parted and forget about how he 512 00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:14,480 Speaker 5: brought them out of slavery is because they would have 513 00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:17,000 Speaker 5: thought he was going to do it the same way. 514 00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:21,080 Speaker 5: After all, that was a great miracle. But God was saying, 515 00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:25,440 Speaker 5: I have something better. Instead of parting the waters, I'm 516 00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:28,560 Speaker 5: going to create the waters. I'm going to make rivers 517 00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:31,760 Speaker 5: in the desert pools to refresh you. I'm going to 518 00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:35,880 Speaker 5: turn bearing land into fertile land. The new thing God 519 00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:38,880 Speaker 5: has for you is going to supersede what you've seen 520 00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:42,320 Speaker 5: in the past. The good news is it's already in motion. 521 00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:48,960 Speaker 5: The process has already begun. Even now, it's springing forth underground. 522 00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:49,440 Speaker 4: Behind the scenes. 523 00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:52,880 Speaker 5: You can't see it, but the river is forming, the 524 00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:57,160 Speaker 5: water is coming, the bearing land is being fertilized. Yes, 525 00:27:57,280 --> 00:27:59,760 Speaker 5: the doors may have closed, don't worry, you'll come. 526 00:27:59,800 --> 00:28:03,520 Speaker 4: Pat center is already built. The right people are already 527 00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:04,920 Speaker 4: in route. 528 00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:08,840 Speaker 5: The Red Sea's partings were great, but that's nothing compared 529 00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:09,560 Speaker 5: to what's coming. 530 00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:12,879 Speaker 4: Here's the question. Can you perceive it? 531 00:28:13,520 --> 00:28:17,000 Speaker 5: Do you believe that God's up to something new, something amazing, 532 00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:19,639 Speaker 5: or are you looking back at what used to be, 533 00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:21,160 Speaker 5: what didn't work out. 534 00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:25,320 Speaker 4: Change your focus. No more looking in the rear view mirror. 535 00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:29,359 Speaker 5: Start looking forward, Start expecting his goodness. This is a 536 00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:32,919 Speaker 5: new day. God is doing a new thing in your life. 537 00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:36,200 Speaker 5: If you'll receive Isaiah's prophecy. 538 00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:38,560 Speaker 4: I believe and declare you're. 539 00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:43,560 Speaker 5: About to see unusual favor, uncommon increase, rivers in your desert, 540 00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:48,680 Speaker 5: waters into dry places like the Israelites, freedom from captivity, 541 00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:55,120 Speaker 5: from lack, addictions, sicknesses. You're going to rise higher, overcome obstacles, 542 00:28:55,360 --> 00:28:57,560 Speaker 5: and become all you were created to be. 543 00:28:58,040 --> 00:29:00,840 Speaker 4: In Jesus' name.
