Number one, it's 12 00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:40,000 Speaker 1: important to find a man that loves you and disloyal. 13 00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:43,400 Speaker 1: Number two, it's important to find a man that's fun 14 00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:46,400 Speaker 1: and makes you laugh. Number three, it's important to find 15 00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:48,800 Speaker 1: a man that's a hard worker provides a good living. 16 00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:51,360 Speaker 1: Number four, it's important to find a man that's a 17 00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:54,880 Speaker 1: great father and good with children. And number five, it's 18 00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:57,600 Speaker 1: important that none of these four men know each other. 19 00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:01,760 Speaker 1: I mean, all right, y'all say it like you mean it. 20 00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:05,000 Speaker 1: This is my Bible. I am what it says, I am, 21 00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:07,840 Speaker 1: I have what it says I have. I can do 22 00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:10,480 Speaker 1: what it says I can do. Today, I will be 23 00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:14,440 Speaker 1: taught the word of God. I boldly confess my mind 24 00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:17,959 Speaker 1: is alert, my heart is receptive. I will never be 25 00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:23,400 Speaker 1: the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you. I want 26 00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:27,119 Speaker 1: to talk to you today about you are blessed. When 27 00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:29,880 Speaker 1: you gave your life to Christ. He puts something on 28 00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:34,040 Speaker 1: you that causes you to stand out, to overcome obstacles, 29 00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:38,880 Speaker 1: to accomplish dreams. It's a divine enablement. I can do 30 00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:43,240 Speaker 1: power a favor that propels you into your destiny. And 31 00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:47,600 Speaker 1: it's simply called the blessings. With this blessing, You'll go 32 00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:51,320 Speaker 1: up when others are going down. You'll recover from an 33 00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:54,240 Speaker 1: illness when the medical report says you won't get well. 34 00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:58,800 Speaker 1: You'll accomplish goals that were over your head. Wasn't just 35 00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:02,600 Speaker 1: your talent, Thank gil your determination that will take you 36 00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:05,960 Speaker 1: so far, but to reach the fullness of your destiny. 37 00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:10,160 Speaker 1: God put on you the blessing. See when he chose you, 38 00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:13,440 Speaker 1: he didn't say good luck, you're on your own. Let's 39 00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:17,080 Speaker 1: see what you can do. No, he anointed you. The 40 00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:21,160 Speaker 1: word anoint means he marked you, He sets you apart. 41 00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:25,160 Speaker 1: How did he do it by putting this blessing on you. 42 00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:31,280 Speaker 1: You're a marked man, a marked woman. Not marked for defeat, negativity, failure. 43 00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:35,040 Speaker 1: You are marked for favor where people would be good 44 00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:38,120 Speaker 1: to you and they don't even know why. Where doors 45 00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:41,760 Speaker 1: will open that weren't supposed to open. Where you'll be 46 00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:45,640 Speaker 1: promoted when you weren't the next in line. Well, opportunity 47 00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:48,680 Speaker 1: will come looking for you. It's not a lucky break, 48 00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:52,399 Speaker 1: it's not a coincidence. It's the blessing on your life. 49 00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:56,800 Speaker 1: You are marked to break generational limitations that have held 50 00:02:56,840 --> 00:03:03,480 Speaker 1: your family back, mark to put an end to function. Depression, anger, poverty. 51 00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:06,760 Speaker 1: May have been that way in the past, but God 52 00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:10,000 Speaker 1: raised you up to do something about it. You're the 53 00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:13,200 Speaker 1: difference maker. You're the one to set a new standard. 54 00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:17,440 Speaker 1: Thoughts will whisper it's never gonna change. You're not that strong, 55 00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:21,200 Speaker 1: you don't have the talent. Don't believe those lies. You've 56 00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:24,840 Speaker 1: been marked for this time. God has put his blessing 57 00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:29,400 Speaker 1: on your life, a divine empowerment. You're not doing things 58 00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:33,320 Speaker 1: on your own. There is a supernatural force breathing in 59 00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:37,400 Speaker 1: your direction. What others have done in your family line 60 00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:40,680 Speaker 1: may have put you at a disadvantage. They left you 61 00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:44,280 Speaker 1: with negative baggage to deal with. The good news is 62 00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:48,600 Speaker 1: the blessing always overrides the curse. That is not how 63 00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:52,840 Speaker 1: your story ends. You're about to see a shift. Strongholds 64 00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:59,280 Speaker 1: that have held your family back are coming down. Negativity, lack, compromise, addictions. 65 00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:03,200 Speaker 1: Those forces are being broken. You're going to step into 66 00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:08,080 Speaker 1: a new level of freedom, joy fulfillment, abundance. It's the 67 00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:11,680 Speaker 1: blessing God put on your life. You've been marked to 68 00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:16,400 Speaker 1: excel in whatever environment you're in. When people are for 69 00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:20,160 Speaker 1: you and when people are against you, when the economy 70 00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:23,160 Speaker 1: is up, and when COVID hits and things shut down, 71 00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:27,599 Speaker 1: when you're getting good breaks, doors are opening, and when 72 00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:31,039 Speaker 1: doors have closed the contract didn't go through, you lost. 73 00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:36,040 Speaker 1: A client says in Psalms, even in famine, the righteous 74 00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:39,400 Speaker 1: will have more than enough. It doesn't say that God 75 00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:41,360 Speaker 1: will get you out of the famine so you can 76 00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:44,200 Speaker 1: have more than enough. He'll stop the people at work 77 00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:48,360 Speaker 1: from doing you wrong, stop the injustice. Then you'll be blessed. No, 78 00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:51,560 Speaker 1: you are blessed in the trouble. You are blessed in 79 00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:55,480 Speaker 1: the famine. The blessing is why the enemy cannot defeat you. 80 00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:59,360 Speaker 1: The blessing is why that trouble is not softened your destiny. 81 00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:02,719 Speaker 1: The blessing is why that sickness can't take you out. 82 00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:06,760 Speaker 1: The blessing is the reason you keep rising up when 83 00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:10,719 Speaker 1: circumstances have tried to keep you down. The blessing doesn't 84 00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:14,919 Speaker 1: stop the adversity, doesn't stop the famine, but it causes 85 00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:18,440 Speaker 1: you to prosper in the famine, to triumph in the trouble, 86 00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:22,160 Speaker 1: to have a smile in the sickness, to keep praising 87 00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:25,960 Speaker 1: when nothing seems like it's working out. Deep down, you 88 00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:29,080 Speaker 1: know that God being for you is more than what's 89 00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:33,359 Speaker 1: trying to stop you. Isaiah said, God will make streams 90 00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:36,000 Speaker 1: in the desert. We all want to get out of 91 00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:40,240 Speaker 1: the desert, out of this difficulty, but sometimes God will 92 00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:44,200 Speaker 1: leave you in an uncomfortable situation. He won't turn around 93 00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:47,440 Speaker 1: what you don't like, but he'll make a stream in 94 00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:50,880 Speaker 1: that desert. He'll bless you in the middle of the trouble. 95 00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:55,360 Speaker 1: The blessing on your life doesn't come and go. You're 96 00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:57,880 Speaker 1: blessed when you're see in good breaks. People are for you. 97 00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:01,560 Speaker 1: That's good. But this blessing on you in the desert, 98 00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:05,640 Speaker 1: in the hospital, in the trouble, in the fiery furnace, 99 00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:10,600 Speaker 1: facing Goliath, when Pharaoh is chasing you down, says in Deuteronomy. 100 00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:13,640 Speaker 1: When you honor God, you are blessed in the city 101 00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:16,520 Speaker 1: and blessed in the country. You are blessed when you 102 00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:19,200 Speaker 1: come in and blessed when you go out. You are 103 00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:23,080 Speaker 1: blessed in your uprising and in your down city. That 104 00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:25,480 Speaker 1: means in the good times and in the tough times. 105 00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:29,159 Speaker 1: Says the fruit of your womb is blessed. Your cattle, 106 00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:33,280 Speaker 1: your livestock is blessed. That's your business. This is saying 107 00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:37,440 Speaker 1: the blessing is not dependent on the circumstances, whether they're 108 00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:41,120 Speaker 1: good or bad. It's not dependent on the environment, the 109 00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:45,040 Speaker 1: location where you are. Whether you're in a fertile place 110 00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:49,160 Speaker 1: or a famine, you are blessed. Whether you're around friends, 111 00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:53,200 Speaker 1: people that love or support you, or enemies trying to 112 00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:56,440 Speaker 1: make you look bad discredit you. You don't have to 113 00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:59,520 Speaker 1: go somewhere else to have the blessing. The blessing is 114 00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:03,920 Speaker 1: on you when you get there. The blessing gets there now. 115 00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:10,200 Speaker 1: You may work in a negative environment. There's jealousy, backstabbing, politics, Joe. 116 00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:12,320 Speaker 1: When God moves me out of this place, then I'll 117 00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:14,840 Speaker 1: be blessed. When he gets rid of these jerks, I mean, 118 00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:18,400 Speaker 1: these co workers, then I'll have a good attitude. No, 119 00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:22,040 Speaker 1: you are blessed in the famine. The blessing didn't lead 120 00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:26,760 Speaker 1: because of the environment. Sometimes God will assign you to 121 00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:30,480 Speaker 1: difficult people. He'll put you in a situation with people 122 00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:33,760 Speaker 1: that are hard to get along with. Compromise it, take 123 00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:37,840 Speaker 1: the easy way out. You're not there by accidents. God 124 00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:41,520 Speaker 1: has you there to shine brightly. He's counting on you 125 00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:45,680 Speaker 1: to be a good influence, to be grateful when they're complaining, 126 00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:49,840 Speaker 1: to have integrity when they're compromising, to show mercy when 127 00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:53,080 Speaker 1: they're judgmental, to see the best in people when they're 128 00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:58,680 Speaker 1: finding fault. Light has the greatest impact in darkness. If 129 00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:01,120 Speaker 1: you're in the light all the time time, you're not 130 00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:04,800 Speaker 1: going to be that effective. Quit complaining about the dark 131 00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:08,040 Speaker 1: and let your light shine. They didn't stop the blessing. 132 00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:11,680 Speaker 1: They're not keeping you from your potential. God has you 133 00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:15,520 Speaker 1: there on purpose. He's not waiting to change your environment. 134 00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:18,200 Speaker 1: Then he's going to bless you. He's going to bless 135 00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:20,400 Speaker 1: you in the famine. He's going to make you a 136 00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:23,200 Speaker 1: stream in the desert. You're going to be an example 137 00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:26,520 Speaker 1: of his goodness so other people can see the hand 138 00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:30,160 Speaker 1: of God on your life. In the scripture, God told 139 00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:33,280 Speaker 1: Abraham to leave his country and go toward the promised land. 140 00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:36,760 Speaker 1: Traveled a great distance and came to this area and 141 00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:40,160 Speaker 1: set up camp. He had thousands of cattle and sheep, 142 00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:43,720 Speaker 1: and his nephew Lot was traveling along with him. He 143 00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:46,640 Speaker 1: had a large number of flocks as well, and after 144 00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:49,920 Speaker 1: a few weeks they realized the land couldn't support all 145 00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:53,880 Speaker 1: the animals. Abraham and Lot shepherds begin to argue over 146 00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:56,960 Speaker 1: who should get the land. There was strife and division. 147 00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:01,000 Speaker 1: Abraham said the Lot, we need to set rate. You 148 00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:04,360 Speaker 1: choose wherever you want to live, and I'll go somewhere else. 149 00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:09,319 Speaker 1: Abraham took the high road. He was older. He brought 150 00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:11,679 Speaker 1: Lot along out of the goodness of his heart. Should 151 00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:14,200 Speaker 1: have been his choice, but he let Lot choose. 152 00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:14,920 Speaker 2: Well. 153 00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:18,280 Speaker 1: Lot looked around, studied the terrain, and he found the 154 00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:21,120 Speaker 1: best part of the land. The scripture says it was 155 00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:25,960 Speaker 1: like a garden, with lush pastures, beautiful streams, quiet valleys. 156 00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:29,600 Speaker 1: All that was left for Abraham was a dry place 157 00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:35,840 Speaker 1: bearing hot dusty, nothing beautiful. You would think Abraham would 158 00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:39,320 Speaker 1: be worried, thinking, how are we gonna make it? He 159 00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:42,199 Speaker 1: got all the fertile land, all the streams, I'm stuck 160 00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:46,400 Speaker 1: out here in the desert. No, Abraham understood this principle 161 00:09:46,800 --> 00:09:50,120 Speaker 1: that the blessing wasn't on the location. The blessing was 162 00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:53,800 Speaker 1: on him, that wherever he went, the blessing was there. 163 00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:57,880 Speaker 1: He knew the land was not his source, but God 164 00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:03,000 Speaker 1: was his source. It's natural he should have struggled, had hardships, 165 00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:06,400 Speaker 1: seen his crops dry up. It's just the opposite was 166 00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:09,200 Speaker 1: in any time before that barren land turned into a 167 00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:13,960 Speaker 1: beautiful oasis. His flocks and herds multiplied. The scripture says 168 00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:17,800 Speaker 1: Abraham was one of the wealthiest men of that day. 169 00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:20,199 Speaker 1: But we think, man, if I get that position, Joel, 170 00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:23,120 Speaker 1: then I'll be blessed. If I can get into this 171 00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:26,840 Speaker 1: friend group, if I can move into this neighborhood. Now 172 00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:30,640 Speaker 1: here's the whole key. The blessing is on you. It's 173 00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:34,640 Speaker 1: not dependent on your circumstances, your environment, who you know. 174 00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:39,320 Speaker 1: Quit looking to people, places, positions, and look to God. 175 00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:43,520 Speaker 1: He's the source. He's the one that made streams in 176 00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:46,880 Speaker 1: the desert. He's the one that knew you before you 177 00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:49,880 Speaker 1: were formed in your mother's wounds. He's the one that 178 00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:53,760 Speaker 1: called you, that anointed you, that march you for favor. 179 00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:57,640 Speaker 1: This blessing will cause you to blossom when you should 180 00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:00,920 Speaker 1: be drying up. It'll cause you to sell when you 181 00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:04,880 Speaker 1: should be stuck. The blessing will make up when people 182 00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:07,920 Speaker 1: do you wrong. When lot chooses the best part of 183 00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:11,000 Speaker 1: the land, someone you were good to put you at 184 00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:14,960 Speaker 1: a disadvantage. They may have taken your land, so to speak, 185 00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:18,480 Speaker 1: but they didn't take your blessing. They took the position, 186 00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:21,680 Speaker 1: but they didn't take the favor on your life. The 187 00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:24,840 Speaker 1: blessing will cause you to flourish in the famine, to 188 00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:29,040 Speaker 1: succeed in the struggle, to excel despite what tried to 189 00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:31,720 Speaker 1: hold you back. A few years ago, I went to 190 00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:35,520 Speaker 1: Africa to visit this orphanage and the man that started it, 191 00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:38,839 Speaker 1: he showed me around. They have several hundred acres. They 192 00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:41,760 Speaker 1: take care of five hundred children. When they were looking 193 00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:44,839 Speaker 1: for land to build the orphanage, they were told that 194 00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:47,160 Speaker 1: they wouldn't be able to grow any crops on this 195 00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:50,880 Speaker 1: property because the soil was not healthy enough, and there 196 00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:54,480 Speaker 1: wasn't enough water all around them for miles and miles. 197 00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:57,839 Speaker 1: That was true, there are no crops, no livestock's dry 198 00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:01,480 Speaker 1: and bearing. But when he saw the property, he felt 199 00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:04,320 Speaker 1: good about it. He knew it was supposed to be theirs, 200 00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:07,720 Speaker 1: And against the advice of all the experts, he purchased 201 00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:11,920 Speaker 1: the property. Not only built the orphanage, but he planted 202 00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:15,720 Speaker 1: over one hundred acres of crops. He designed his own 203 00:12:15,800 --> 00:12:19,839 Speaker 1: irrigation system. The neighbors, the local people, they thought he'd 204 00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:23,800 Speaker 1: lost his mind. Nobody could grow crops. But this man 205 00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:27,480 Speaker 1: knew when he got there the blessing got there. He 206 00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:30,840 Speaker 1: knew the land wasn't his source. God was his source. 207 00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:35,520 Speaker 1: That the blessing wasn't dependent on the environment, the rain, 208 00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:39,959 Speaker 1: the people, the economy. The blessing makes streams in the desert. 209 00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:43,960 Speaker 1: The blessing gives you more than enough in a famine. See, 210 00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:48,360 Speaker 1: the blessing is not natural, it's supernatural. It defies the odds. 211 00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:51,880 Speaker 1: When the experts said he's wasting his time, making a 212 00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:56,080 Speaker 1: big mistake. Now they're all scratching their heads out there 213 00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:59,240 Speaker 1: in the middle of this barren dry land. You come 214 00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:02,640 Speaker 1: to his property and it's like an oasis. It's so 215 00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:07,800 Speaker 1: green and fertile, all these crops and animals. The university 216 00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:11,520 Speaker 1: sent experts out to take soil samples to try to 217 00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:15,120 Speaker 1: figure out how he can grow crops, and next door 218 00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:18,360 Speaker 1: they won't grow how his soil can be so rich 219 00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:22,280 Speaker 1: and healthy. But across the street it's just the opposite. 220 00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:26,400 Speaker 1: Their land is so successful. They are not only self sufficient, 221 00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:29,960 Speaker 1: but they produce so many crops that they sell part 222 00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:33,000 Speaker 1: of their produce to the local grocery stores. That's how 223 00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:36,720 Speaker 1: they fund their orphanage. When this man was telling me this, 224 00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:39,480 Speaker 1: he smiled real big and said, Joel, it's the blessing 225 00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:44,319 Speaker 1: of God on our life. This blessing will cause you 226 00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:48,200 Speaker 1: to defye the odds. The blessing is not dependent on 227 00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:52,280 Speaker 1: the land, on the position, on what the experts say. 228 00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:55,400 Speaker 1: The blessing is on you. It's the power of the 229 00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:59,720 Speaker 1: most high his favor causing you to excel. That's what 230 00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:04,480 Speaker 1: it's in Psalms, that whatever you touch will prosper and succeed. 231 00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:08,040 Speaker 1: That land may be bearing, but when you touch it 232 00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:11,839 Speaker 1: it'll come to light. That job you're at may be difficult, 233 00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:15,760 Speaker 1: but when you get there, the blessing gets there. That 234 00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:18,720 Speaker 1: sickness may look like it's going to defeat you. The 235 00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:21,080 Speaker 1: experts say you're not going to make it. What they 236 00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:24,360 Speaker 1: don't realize is there is something on you that defies 237 00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:28,440 Speaker 1: the odds, that causes you to overcome, that moves sickness 238 00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:31,680 Speaker 1: out of your body, that prospers you in a dry place, 239 00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:36,120 Speaker 1: that turns people who are against you into being for you. 240 00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:39,240 Speaker 1: You can't explain it, it doesn't make sense. It's the 241 00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:43,040 Speaker 1: blessing of God on your life. And here's the great news. 242 00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:46,760 Speaker 1: You're not waiting to be blessed, hoping to one day 243 00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:52,120 Speaker 1: get this blessing. You are blessed. It's already happened. When 244 00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:55,080 Speaker 1: you understand that you have the blessing, you'll put your 245 00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:59,120 Speaker 1: shoulders back and pray bold prayers. You'll believe for things 246 00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:02,240 Speaker 1: that seem impossible, as you won't be bitter over who 247 00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:05,440 Speaker 1: did you wrong and upset over that door that closed. 248 00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:09,840 Speaker 1: You know, the blessing overrides every bad break. The blessing 249 00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:13,000 Speaker 1: will cause you to flourish in the famine, to succeed 250 00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:16,840 Speaker 1: despite the negative report, to blossom when the odds are 251 00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:20,560 Speaker 1: against you. Well, what about Ruth. She was a widow, 252 00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:24,720 Speaker 1: she'd lost her husband and was out gathering grain in 253 00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:28,560 Speaker 1: a foreign country trying to survive. When a man named 254 00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:32,000 Speaker 1: bo As, the owner of the field, saw Ruth. They 255 00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:34,960 Speaker 1: eventually fell in love and were married. They had a 256 00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:40,680 Speaker 1: baby boy. Ruth became the great great grandmother of King David. Here. 257 00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:44,160 Speaker 1: She had gone through a big disappointment, losing her husband. 258 00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:47,360 Speaker 1: Looked like she was stuck in the fields, no future 259 00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:51,960 Speaker 1: to speak of. But the disappointments, the setbacks, the loss, 260 00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:55,680 Speaker 1: they don't stop the blessing. The blessing will cause the 261 00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:59,080 Speaker 1: right people to notice you. The blessing will take it 262 00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:01,640 Speaker 1: from working in the company to own in your company. 263 00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:04,960 Speaker 1: The blessing will give you a legacy greater than you've 264 00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:09,480 Speaker 1: ever imagined. Out in those fields, picking up left over grain. 265 00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:13,720 Speaker 1: That was just an ordinary place until Ruth got there. 266 00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:17,880 Speaker 1: When she showed up, the blessing showed up. That's when 267 00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:22,400 Speaker 1: supernatural things begin to happen. The co workers dropped left 268 00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:27,080 Speaker 1: over wheat on purpose for Ruth, uncommon increase. Bo Az 269 00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:30,520 Speaker 1: noticed Ruth. He could have been busy out of town 270 00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:34,200 Speaker 1: looking the other way. But the blessing on your life 271 00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:37,800 Speaker 1: will cause the right people to not only see you, 272 00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:41,360 Speaker 1: but to be good to you. The apostle Paul was 273 00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:44,840 Speaker 1: shipwrecked on a deserted island. He went to pick up 274 00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:48,960 Speaker 1: some firewood when a poisonous snake bit his arm. The 275 00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:51,960 Speaker 1: natives had seen it happen again and again in a 276 00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:55,280 Speaker 1: few minutes. He should swell up and die. When Paul 277 00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:58,600 Speaker 1: just shook it off went about his business. It never 278 00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:02,560 Speaker 1: did affect him. Those natives were so in awe that 279 00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:05,280 Speaker 1: they thought he was a god. How could you be 280 00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:08,960 Speaker 1: bit by something poisonous and it not harm you. That's 281 00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:12,520 Speaker 1: the blessing of God. They had seen many people die 282 00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:16,359 Speaker 1: from snake bites. But there's a difference between you and 283 00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:21,080 Speaker 1: people that don't honor God. Part of this blessing is protection. 284 00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:25,480 Speaker 1: It's God pushing back darkness and keeping you from evil, 285 00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:30,360 Speaker 1: and angels guarding you and defending you. It says in Exodus, 286 00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:34,320 Speaker 1: the only spot without hell in all of Egypt that 287 00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:38,760 Speaker 1: day was the land of Gshen, where the Israelites lived. 288 00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:44,200 Speaker 1: There was this huge hailstorm, wiping out people, animals, destroying 289 00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:48,200 Speaker 1: the crops, but the only place that wasn't harmed was 290 00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:52,119 Speaker 1: where the Israelites were. That's the blessing. It's not on 291 00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:55,840 Speaker 1: the land, it's not on the position the blessing is 292 00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:59,800 Speaker 1: on you. The more you recognize it, the more peaceful 293 00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:02,360 Speaker 1: you going to live, the more faith you're going to have, 294 00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:05,600 Speaker 1: and the more favor you're going to see. In the 295 00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:09,600 Speaker 1: amplified version of the Bible, when it says the word blessed, 296 00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:17,040 Speaker 1: many times it describes the word in parentheses. It says happy, fortunate, prosperous, 297 00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:20,760 Speaker 1: and to be envied. If you want to activate the blessing, 298 00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:24,639 Speaker 1: then you need to have a blessed mindset. You're not 299 00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:26,879 Speaker 1: going to see the blessing if you go around thinking 300 00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:29,919 Speaker 1: I never get any good breaks and these people at 301 00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:33,080 Speaker 1: work are never gonna treat me right. You can cancel 302 00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:37,320 Speaker 1: out the blessing with the wrong mentality. Try a new approach, 303 00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:41,560 Speaker 1: a blessed mindset. I'm happy. I'm not going to go 304 00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:45,800 Speaker 1: around discouraged, bitter over what didn't work out, and upset 305 00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:48,719 Speaker 1: over who hurt me. I know God's on the throne. 306 00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:53,720 Speaker 1: I know he's fighting my battles. I'm fortunate. That means 307 00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:57,400 Speaker 1: I have an advantage. God's favor is on my life. 308 00:18:57,520 --> 00:19:00,880 Speaker 1: He's going before me, opening the right pace doors and 309 00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:04,359 Speaker 1: bringing the right people. Part of the blessing is you 310 00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:08,200 Speaker 1: are to be envied. That means you should be so blessed, 311 00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:13,359 Speaker 1: so peaceful, so kind, so generous, so influential that people 312 00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:16,520 Speaker 1: want what you have. God wants to make you an 313 00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:21,600 Speaker 1: example of his goodness. Abraham was so blessed that people 314 00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:25,879 Speaker 1: that didn't even know God, people that didn't worship Jehovah, 315 00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:30,160 Speaker 1: they prayed to the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. 316 00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:33,520 Speaker 1: They thought, we want what he has. We want his peace, 317 00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:39,200 Speaker 1: his joy, his attitude, his resources. Don't have a limited mentality, 318 00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:43,439 Speaker 1: a defeated, mediocre let me get by in life attitude, 319 00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:48,679 Speaker 1: have a blessed mindset. I'm happy, I'm fortunate, I'm to 320 00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:52,400 Speaker 1: be envied. And I don't mean this arrogantly, but there's 321 00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:56,120 Speaker 1: a big difference between I'm fortunate and nothing good ever 322 00:19:56,200 --> 00:20:00,360 Speaker 1: happens to me. I'm to be envied verse get any 323 00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:04,720 Speaker 1: good breaks. Nobody would want what I have. I'm prosperous. 324 00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:07,120 Speaker 1: Verse I don't know how I'm gonna make it. Things 325 00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:10,560 Speaker 1: have gotten so high. You have to change your mindset. 326 00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:14,159 Speaker 1: Get in agreement with God all through the day in 327 00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:18,600 Speaker 1: your thoughts. I'm blessed, I'm fortunate, something good is going 328 00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:22,720 Speaker 1: to happen to me. I'm expecting God's favor. You're gonna 329 00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:26,639 Speaker 1: draw in what you're continually thinking about. Do you have 330 00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:31,159 Speaker 1: a blessed mindset or a limited mindset. When Joseph was 331 00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:34,440 Speaker 1: a teenager, God gave him a dream that he would 332 00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:37,399 Speaker 1: be in leadership and he'd do great things. But his 333 00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:41,360 Speaker 1: brothers were jealous. They didn't like his big dream. They 334 00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:44,960 Speaker 1: were in another city taking care of flocks, and Jacob 335 00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:47,760 Speaker 1: send his son Joseph to check them there. When they 336 00:20:47,760 --> 00:20:51,160 Speaker 1: saw him in the distance, they said, here comes the dreamer. 337 00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:55,679 Speaker 1: Sometimes the dream God put in you will stir up 338 00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:59,560 Speaker 1: jealousy in others. Some people can't handle where God has 339 00:20:59,600 --> 00:21:03,760 Speaker 1: taken you. They're too small minded to celebrate the favor 340 00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:07,159 Speaker 1: and blessing on your life. They think God blessing you 341 00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:10,600 Speaker 1: means that they're going to be left out. They don't 342 00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:14,520 Speaker 1: realize what God has for you doesn't lessen what God 343 00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:17,919 Speaker 1: has for them. But you will never see the fullness 344 00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:21,960 Speaker 1: of what God has if you're jealous of other people. Now, 345 00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:24,840 Speaker 1: the test we all have to pass is to celebrate 346 00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:28,399 Speaker 1: those that are going further. Be happy for people that 347 00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:31,840 Speaker 1: are seeing increase in favor. That doesn't mean you're being 348 00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:35,800 Speaker 1: left out. If you'll pass that test, then your time 349 00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:38,880 Speaker 1: is coming. Then God can take you to new levels. 350 00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:45,080 Speaker 1: I've never seen jealous people really succeed. People that find fault, criticize, 351 00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:48,480 Speaker 1: try to discredit others. I've never seen them really take on. 352 00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:52,959 Speaker 1: It's because of their narrow mindset, and that's what limited 353 00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:56,720 Speaker 1: Joseph's brothers. They were so jealous that they threw Joseph 354 00:21:56,760 --> 00:21:59,320 Speaker 1: into a pit. They were going to leave him there 355 00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:02,840 Speaker 1: to die. They took his freedom, but they couldn't take 356 00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:06,240 Speaker 1: his blessing. They took his coat of many colors, but 357 00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:09,879 Speaker 1: they couldn't take his calling. Sitting in the bottom of 358 00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:14,040 Speaker 1: the well, betrayed alone no way out, the brothers thought 359 00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:18,320 Speaker 1: the location determined whether or not Joseph was blessed. They 360 00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:22,600 Speaker 1: didn't realize the blessing was on Joseph. That's what God said. 361 00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:25,040 Speaker 1: You're blessed in the city and blessed in the country. 362 00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:28,200 Speaker 1: You're blessed when people speak well of you, and you're 363 00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:31,720 Speaker 1: blessed when they throw you into the pit. Here's the key. 364 00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:35,560 Speaker 1: They didn't give the blessing. That means they can't take 365 00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:38,840 Speaker 1: the blessing. The blessing was put on you by your 366 00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:43,520 Speaker 1: heavenly Father. No person can stop the blessing, the purpose, 367 00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:46,640 Speaker 1: the destiny that God has laid out for your life. 368 00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:50,439 Speaker 1: One time in the scripture, these people hired Balim, the 369 00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:54,560 Speaker 1: prophet to curse the people of God, to speak against them. 370 00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:57,800 Speaker 1: They kept offering him more and more money. But three 371 00:22:57,800 --> 00:23:02,240 Speaker 1: times Balim said, I cannot curse what God has already blessed. 372 00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:06,960 Speaker 1: Can I tell you? God has already blessed you. People 373 00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:10,200 Speaker 1: can try to stop you, limit you discredit, you don't 374 00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:12,960 Speaker 1: pay it any attention. They might as well be talking 375 00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:16,480 Speaker 1: to the wall. God has already blessed you. He's already 376 00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:21,960 Speaker 1: anointed you. He's already marked you, empowered you, destined you 377 00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:26,720 Speaker 1: to fulfill your assignment. People can't stop you. The enemy 378 00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:30,240 Speaker 1: can't stop you. The only one that can stop you 379 00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:35,280 Speaker 1: is you. If you get bitter discourage, why did this happen? 380 00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:38,639 Speaker 1: My own family turned on me. If you'll stay on 381 00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:42,120 Speaker 1: the high road and keep doing the right thing, everything 382 00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:44,600 Speaker 1: that was meant for your harm, God will turn to 383 00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:49,440 Speaker 1: your advantage. The blessing will always override the curse. But 384 00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:52,080 Speaker 1: they brought Joseph out of the pit and sold him 385 00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:54,639 Speaker 1: as a slave in Egypt, and he worked for a 386 00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:58,879 Speaker 1: man named Potterford running his household. Joseph was so excellent 387 00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:01,440 Speaker 1: in what he did that he was put in charge 388 00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:05,840 Speaker 1: of all the affairs of this house. Potterphar's wife lied 389 00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:08,680 Speaker 1: about Joseph and said he was making advances at her. 390 00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:11,720 Speaker 1: Joseph was put in prison for something he didn't do. 391 00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:15,320 Speaker 1: Could have been bitter, God, where are you? Why did 392 00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:18,439 Speaker 1: this happen? But he kept be at his best, so 393 00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:20,840 Speaker 1: much so that he was put in charge of the 394 00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:25,000 Speaker 1: whole prison. Eventually, he interpreted a dream for the Fayah. 395 00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:28,520 Speaker 1: He was so impressed that he made Joseph the prime 396 00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:33,040 Speaker 1: Minister of Egypt. Thirteen years after Joseph had that dream 397 00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:37,120 Speaker 1: as a teenager. He saw it come to pass. Joseph 398 00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:41,359 Speaker 1: was assigned to a difficult place with difficult people, but 399 00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:44,280 Speaker 1: none of that stopped the blessing. He was blessed in 400 00:24:44,320 --> 00:24:47,920 Speaker 1: the pit when his brothers betrayed him. He was blessed 401 00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:51,400 Speaker 1: in Potterphar's house. As a slave in a foreign country. 402 00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:55,360 Speaker 1: He was blessed in the prison, falsely accused and unfair. 403 00:24:56,240 --> 00:24:59,760 Speaker 1: The blessing on his life not only sustained him kept 404 00:24:59,840 --> 00:25:02,960 Speaker 1: him from being defeated, but it caused him to keep 405 00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:06,080 Speaker 1: rising to the top. And yes, we all go through 406 00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:11,000 Speaker 1: disappointments and betrayals, people that do us wrong. But nothing 407 00:25:11,040 --> 00:25:15,040 Speaker 1: that's happened to you has taken the blessing. Joey, they 408 00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:17,359 Speaker 1: threw me into a pit, They put me into a 409 00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:21,200 Speaker 1: hard place. The blessing is not dependent on your location. 410 00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:25,720 Speaker 1: The blessing is on you wherever you are. The blessing 411 00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:29,240 Speaker 1: is there in these difficult times. You have to keep 412 00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:33,560 Speaker 1: reminding yourself. I am blessed. I am blessed in the palace, 413 00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:36,760 Speaker 1: and I'm blessed in the pit. I'm blessed when it's fair, 414 00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:39,720 Speaker 1: and I'm blessed when it's unfair. I'm blessed when people 415 00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:42,439 Speaker 1: are for me, and I'm still blessed when they are 416 00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:47,280 Speaker 1: against me. Maybe someone has put you at a disadvantage. 417 00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:50,000 Speaker 1: It doesn't look like it's ever going to change. But 418 00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:52,920 Speaker 1: can I tell you, like Joseph, You're about to see 419 00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:56,840 Speaker 1: the blessing override the curse people that tried to push 420 00:25:56,840 --> 00:26:00,800 Speaker 1: you down. It's going to backfire. Vindication is coming. That 421 00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:04,879 Speaker 1: sickness has been difficult. It's taking your energy. The tide 422 00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:08,960 Speaker 1: is about to turn. Health and wholeness is coming. Are 423 00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:12,679 Speaker 1: your child's been making poor choices. The enemy is whispering. 424 00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:16,560 Speaker 1: It's permanent. They're never gonna change. They'll get ready. Things 425 00:26:16,560 --> 00:26:20,200 Speaker 1: are about to shift. God is working behind the scenes. 426 00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:26,040 Speaker 1: You've been marked for favor, mark to overcome, mark to outlast, mark, 427 00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:29,280 Speaker 1: to rise from the pit to the palace. Now do 428 00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:32,959 Speaker 1: your part and have this blessed mindset. No more. I 429 00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:35,960 Speaker 1: never get any good breaks. No, I'm fortunate. I'm to 430 00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:39,520 Speaker 1: be envied. I'm prosperous. The blessing of God is on 431 00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:42,960 Speaker 1: my life. If you'll do this, I believe in declare 432 00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:48,400 Speaker 1: like Abraham, You're gonna flourish into dry places. Like Joseph. 433 00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:51,600 Speaker 1: You're gonna excel in the midst of the trouble, like 434 00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:54,720 Speaker 1: my friends at the orphanage. You're gonna defy the odds 435 00:26:54,800 --> 00:26:59,440 Speaker 1: and see abundance, favor, breakthroughs, healing the fullness of your 436 00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:03,640 Speaker 1: destiny in Jesus's name, And if you receive it, can 437 00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:08,080 Speaker 1: you say amen? I'd like to give you an opportunity 438 00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:11,080 Speaker 1: to make Jesus the lord of your life. Would you 439 00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:15,040 Speaker 1: pray with me? Just say, Lord, Jesus, I repent of 440 00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:19,080 Speaker 1: my sins. Come into my heart. I make you my lord. 441 00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:22,760 Speaker 1: And Savior.
