1
00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:03,600
Speaker 1: Hi, this is Joeln Victoria. Thanks so much for listening

Speaker 1: to the podcast and thanks for supporting the ministry. We

Speaker 1: God bless you. It's a joy to come into your homes.

00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:21,760
Speaker 1: And if you're ever in our area, please stop buying.

Speaker 1: Be a part of one of our services. I promise

8
00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:27,159
Speaker 1: you we'll make you feel right at home. I like

9
00:00:27,240 --> 00:00:29,960
Speaker 1: to start with something funny, and I heard about this reporter.

10
00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:34,520
Speaker 1: He was visiting churches across the nation. While in the Northeast,

11
00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:37,919
Speaker 1: he saw this gold phone on the wall with a

12
00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:42,040
Speaker 1: sign that said calls ten thousand dollars per minute. He

13
00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:44,919
Speaker 1: asked the pastor what it meant. The pastor explained that

14
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:47,559
Speaker 1: that was a direct line to Heaven. If you were

15
00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:50,520
Speaker 1: willing to pay the price, you could talk directly to God.

16
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:54,440
Speaker 1: He continued visiting different churches, saw the same gold phone

17
00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:57,640
Speaker 1: the same sign. When he finally made it to Texas,

18
00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:00,960
Speaker 1: he saw the phone, but the sign and said calls

19
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:04,920
Speaker 1: twenty five cents per minute. Intrigued, he asked the pastor

20
00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:07,679
Speaker 1: why it was so much cheaper. The pastor said, you're

21
00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:12,959
Speaker 1: in Texas. Now it's a local call. Say it like

22
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:16,400
Speaker 1: a minute. This is my Bible. I am what it

23
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:18,880
Speaker 1: says I am. I have what it says I have.

24
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:22,000
Speaker 1: I can do what it says I can do. Today

25
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:25,480
Speaker 1: I will be taught the word of God. I boldly confess.

26
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:29,160
Speaker 1: My mind is alert, my heart is receptive. I will

27
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:32,959
Speaker 1: never be the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you.

28
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:36,640
Speaker 1: I want to talk to you today about your faith.

29
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:40,080
Speaker 1: In Mark chapter five, there was a lady that had

30
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:44,280
Speaker 1: a bleeding disorder for twelve years. She'd gone to many doctors,

31
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:48,000
Speaker 1: spent all of her money, tried everything she could to

32
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:51,760
Speaker 1: get well, but nothing helped. She continued to go downhill.

33
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:55,000
Speaker 1: One day there was all this commotion in her town.

34
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:59,200
Speaker 1: She found out that Jesus was passing through. She had

35
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:02,240
Speaker 1: heard the story of how he had healed a crippled man,

36
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:06,240
Speaker 1: how he'd opened blind eyes, how he'd cured someone with leprosy.

37
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:10,919
Speaker 1: Something came alive on the inside. She thought he did

38
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:13,960
Speaker 1: it for others, he can do it for me. She

39
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:18,280
Speaker 1: could have been discouraged, complaining life is not fair, why

40
00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:22,920
Speaker 1: did this happen? Instead, she said to herself. If I

41
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:26,400
Speaker 1: can get to Jesus and just touch the fringe of

42
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:30,280
Speaker 1: his robe, I know I will be healed. The problem

43
00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:34,520
Speaker 1: was there was a great crowd surrounding Jesus. Thousands of

44
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 1: people all packed in seemed impossible. Most people would have

45
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:41,080
Speaker 1: given up and thought, Hey, it's not meant to be.

46
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:45,280
Speaker 1: Not this lady. She started making her way through the crowd.

47
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:49,320
Speaker 1: Excuse me, I need to get by. Pardon me, I

48
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:51,959
Speaker 1: have to get up front. I don't mean to be rude,

49
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:54,440
Speaker 1: but move out of my way. People looked at her like,

50
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:57,920
Speaker 1: what's this lady's problem? She was on a mission, She

51
00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:01,560
Speaker 1: had a made up mind. Sure she was weak, she

52
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:04,760
Speaker 1: had lost blood for years, she didn't feel like it,

53
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:08,560
Speaker 1: but she fought her way through the crowd. One version

54
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:13,080
Speaker 1: said she kept saying to herself, when I get to Jesus,

55
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:16,720
Speaker 1: I know I will be well. She was saying, I

56
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 1: know healing is coming. I know things are turning in

57
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:23,800
Speaker 1: my favor. It's tough now, I'm tired, I'm weak, but

58
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:27,720
Speaker 1: I know I'm close to my breakthrough. The reason she

59
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 1: could keep going is she kept the right thoughts playing

60
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:34,920
Speaker 1: in her mind. I can imagine she was so exhausted

61
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:38,400
Speaker 1: She finally fell to the ground and had to crawl

62
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 1: the last few feet. Just at the right time, she

63
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:45,960
Speaker 1: reached out and touched the edge of Jesus Road. All

64
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:49,920
Speaker 1: of a sudden, Jesus stopped, said to his disciples, who

65
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 1: just touched me? They said, what do you mean, it's

66
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:56,760
Speaker 1: crowded out here, everybody's touching you. He said, in a fact, no,

67
00:03:57,320 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 1: everyone may be bumping into me, but somebody just touched me.

68
00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 1: Somebody drew the miracle working power out of me. They

69
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:10,120
Speaker 1: believed healing was coming. They believed their child was going

70
00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:13,280
Speaker 1: to turn around. They believe new doors were going to open.

71
00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:18,560
Speaker 1: They touched me with expectancy. About that time, Jesus looked

72
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:22,640
Speaker 1: at this woman. Their eyes met. She was afraid, thought

73
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:26,640
Speaker 1: she'd done something wrong. Jesus smiled and said, daughter, your

74
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:30,600
Speaker 1: faith has made you whole. Go in peace. You were healed.

75
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:34,919
Speaker 1: Notice the key was her faith. It was great that

76
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:38,440
Speaker 1: her parents were praying, her friends were encouraging her, her

77
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:41,560
Speaker 1: neighbors were cheering her on. That's all good, but there's

78
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:46,960
Speaker 1: nothing more powerful than your faith. When you believe, when

79
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:51,040
Speaker 1: you expect things to change, when you keep saying to yourself,

80
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:54,760
Speaker 1: I know the breakthrough is coming. I know healing is

81
00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:57,240
Speaker 1: on the way. I know the right person is in

82
00:04:57,279 --> 00:05:01,440
Speaker 1: my future. I know what God started to finish. Your

83
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:04,960
Speaker 1: faith can stop the creator of the universe. That's what

84
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:09,400
Speaker 1: activates his power. There were other people in the crowd

85
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:13,080
Speaker 1: that day that were sent, many people that had needs,

86
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 1: no doubt. They bumped into Jesus. Nothing happened, but this

87
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:21,440
Speaker 1: lady touched him. Are you brushing up against him or

88
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:25,799
Speaker 1: are you touching him? Are you living with expectancy knowing

89
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 1: that He's bigger than those problems, greater than that sickness,

90
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:33,840
Speaker 1: more powerful than that opposition. Or have you become discouraged

91
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:38,320
Speaker 1: thinking it's never going to change. God is passing by.

92
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:42,000
Speaker 1: He has all power. Don't just brush up against him.

93
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:46,520
Speaker 1: Don't be passive and think you could never accomplish your dreams.

94
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:49,919
Speaker 1: Never meet the right person, never start your business. Do

95
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:54,040
Speaker 1: like this lady, reach out and touch him, release your faith.

96
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:58,120
Speaker 1: Believe that it will happen. This lady was closest to

97
00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 1: her miracle when she fail. It's the greatest opposition. Would

98
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:05,000
Speaker 1: have been easy. If Jesus would have come just a

99
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:08,240
Speaker 1: few disciples, she could have gone out and touched him

100
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:11,800
Speaker 1: without the struggle without all the people in the way,

101
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:15,719
Speaker 1: But she had to fight through the crowd. The crowd

102
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:20,640
Speaker 1: represents broken dreams, things that didn't work out, thoughts telling

103
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:23,280
Speaker 1: it it's never going to get better, you'll never get well,

104
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:27,600
Speaker 1: never break the addiction. The crowd can be negative words

105
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:31,400
Speaker 1: people have spoken over us. You're not that talented. You

106
00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:35,360
Speaker 1: can't accomplish your dreams. If you're going to reach your potential,

107
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:38,880
Speaker 1: you have to fight through some things. You can't have

108
00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:42,839
Speaker 1: a week give up. This is too hard. Spirit. You

109
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:46,880
Speaker 1: have to be more determined than what's trying to stop you.

110
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:49,240
Speaker 1: You may get knocked down, but you have to get

111
00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:52,520
Speaker 1: back up again. You need to have a made up mind.

112
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:56,640
Speaker 1: This disappointment is not going to stop me. I'm not

113
00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:59,599
Speaker 1: going to let the mistakes I've made, the guilt, the

114
00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:03,000
Speaker 1: regrets caused me to shrink back. I'm not going to

115
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:06,200
Speaker 1: allow the bad breaks, the people that did me wrong,

116
00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:10,240
Speaker 1: The rejection, the betrayal caused me to get bitter and

117
00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:13,120
Speaker 1: stay where I am. I'm going to fight through the crowd.

118
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:18,200
Speaker 1: Many of the miracles Jesus performed, he laid his hands

119
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:21,520
Speaker 1: on people and they were healed. But in this case,

120
00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:26,000
Speaker 1: Jesus didn't lay hands on the woman. The woman laid

121
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:29,840
Speaker 1: hands on Jesus. Are you waiting for God to lay

122
00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:32,760
Speaker 1: hands on you? So to speak, God, this problem is

123
00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:35,440
Speaker 1: so big. When are you gonna do something about it?

124
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:39,240
Speaker 1: Why don't you lay hands on him? Instead of complaining

125
00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:42,080
Speaker 1: about the problem. Lord, I want to thank you that

126
00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:44,760
Speaker 1: things are turning in my favor. Thank you that no

127
00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 1: weapon formed against me will prosper. Lord, thank you that

128
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:51,200
Speaker 1: you hold victory in store for the upright. I don't

129
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:53,000
Speaker 1: see a way, but Lord, I want to thank you.

130
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:56,000
Speaker 1: I know you have a way. When you do that,

131
00:07:56,160 --> 00:08:00,600
Speaker 1: you're laying hands on God. Your faith can initiate the healing.

132
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:03,440
Speaker 1: Your faith can be the catalyst for God to do

133
00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:08,960
Speaker 1: amazing things. Acts Chapter fourteen. The apostle Paul was teaching people.

134
00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:12,960
Speaker 1: He noticed a crippled man in the crowd. He'd been

135
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:16,800
Speaker 1: that way since birth and never walked. Verse nine says

136
00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:21,360
Speaker 1: Paul realized the man had faith to be healed. Here

137
00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:25,160
Speaker 1: the man was just sitting in the audience listening to Paul,

138
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:29,160
Speaker 1: But he must have had such anticipation on his face.

139
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:34,440
Speaker 1: Paul must have seen something in his expression and expectancy

140
00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:37,680
Speaker 1: that something good was going to happen, Like a little

141
00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:41,840
Speaker 1: child at a candy store. Paul was so impressed he

142
00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:45,440
Speaker 1: stopped his message and said, sir, I can see you're

143
00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:49,040
Speaker 1: ready for your miracles. Stand up. The man stood up

144
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:51,800
Speaker 1: and instantly he was healed, began to walk for the

145
00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:56,240
Speaker 1: first time. Like that man, we should live with this

146
00:08:56,400 --> 00:09:01,240
Speaker 1: anticipation that something good is going to happen. Yes, we've

147
00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:04,480
Speaker 1: all had difficulties, we all have a reason to be sour.

148
00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:07,920
Speaker 1: Don't let that talk you out of what God has

149
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:11,560
Speaker 1: in store. You wouldn't be alive if there wasn't something

150
00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:16,319
Speaker 1: amazing in your future. Can your faith be seen? Can

151
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:19,800
Speaker 1: anyone notice that you're expecting to go to a new level?

152
00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:22,679
Speaker 1: Are you talking like it's going to happen, thinking like

153
00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:25,520
Speaker 1: it's going to happen, Believing like it's going to happen.

154
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:30,120
Speaker 1: God is passing by. But if you're negative, I don't

155
00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:33,160
Speaker 1: see how to work out. I never get any good breaks.

156
00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:36,280
Speaker 1: I've been in this way a long time. You may

157
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:39,840
Speaker 1: brush up against him, but you're not going to touch him.

158
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:43,520
Speaker 1: You have to show God you're ready to be healed,

159
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:46,920
Speaker 1: ready to be free, ready to be blessed. There should

160
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:51,120
Speaker 1: be an expectancy it could happen today. You could meet

161
00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:54,800
Speaker 1: the person of your dreams this week. You could see

162
00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:59,080
Speaker 1: your health turn around this month. This year could be

163
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:02,040
Speaker 1: your year to go to a new level where things

164
00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:06,120
Speaker 1: fall into place, good breaks find you. Promises you've been

165
00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:09,760
Speaker 1: believing for suddenly come to pass. Well, Joe, what if

166
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:12,520
Speaker 1: I believe for it and it doesn't happen. What if

167
00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:16,040
Speaker 1: you believe for it and it does happen. When you

168
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:20,679
Speaker 1: live with expectancy, where your faith can be seen in

169
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:24,600
Speaker 1: your expressions, in your attitude and how you talk, that's

170
00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:27,880
Speaker 1: going to cause God to notice you in a new way.

171
00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:30,720
Speaker 1: God is always with us, he has us in the

172
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:34,319
Speaker 1: palm of his hand, but faith is what gets his attention.

173
00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:40,160
Speaker 1: The scripture says it is impossible to please God without faith.

174
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:44,719
Speaker 1: That's a powerful statement. That means you can be obedient

175
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:48,880
Speaker 1: and have a sour attitude and limited vision and not

176
00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:53,400
Speaker 1: please God. You can give, serve, feed the poor, and

177
00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:56,560
Speaker 1: that's all important. We should do that. But if you're

178
00:10:56,559 --> 00:11:00,320
Speaker 1: not believing for things bigger, then you can accomplish on

179
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:04,120
Speaker 1: your own. If you're not expecting difficulties to turn around,

180
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:08,640
Speaker 1: if you're not anticipating new levels, thanking God that he's

181
00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:12,960
Speaker 1: bringing promises to pass Then you're not releasing your faith.

182
00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:16,200
Speaker 1: You have to stir up what God put in you

183
00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:20,240
Speaker 1: he's passing by. Don't just sit back and watch. Well.

184
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:23,120
Speaker 1: I wish I could break the addiction. I wish I

185
00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:25,840
Speaker 1: could accomplish my dreams. Why don't you reach out and

186
00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:28,719
Speaker 1: touch him? Lord, I want to thank you that you're

187
00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:31,600
Speaker 1: opening doors no man can shut. Thank you that you're

188
00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:34,240
Speaker 1: taking me where I could not go on my own. Lord,

189
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:37,440
Speaker 1: I believe healing is on the way, Freedom is on

190
00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:40,360
Speaker 1: the way, the right person is on the way, Abundance

191
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:43,640
Speaker 1: is on the way. That's how we touch God today

192
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:47,480
Speaker 1: with our faith. Well, Juli, I'm waiting for God to

193
00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:51,920
Speaker 1: do something. Maybe God is waiting on you. This lady

194
00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:54,800
Speaker 1: didn't wait for Jesus to lay hands on her. She

195
00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:58,760
Speaker 1: laid hands on him. And I realize God has a

196
00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:03,760
Speaker 1: perfect time. But the scripture says now faith is faith

197
00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:08,280
Speaker 1: is always in the present, and things may not instantly change.

198
00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:13,320
Speaker 1: We all have waiting periods, but our faith should stay active.

199
00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:17,840
Speaker 1: Our normal attitude should be Lord, I'm looking for your goodness,

200
00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:21,280
Speaker 1: not next week, not next month, not next year. I'm

201
00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:24,880
Speaker 1: looking for it today. Stay in the now, live with

202
00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:29,640
Speaker 1: the anticipation that it could happen today. For several years,

203
00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:32,880
Speaker 1: there's been something I've been believing for ways that we

204
00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:36,120
Speaker 1: can expand the ministry. Every day I did what I'm

205
00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:38,360
Speaker 1: asking you to do. Lord, I thank you that it's

206
00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:40,839
Speaker 1: on the way. I think you that you're making things

207
00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:44,319
Speaker 1: happen that I couldn't make happen. Didn't see any sign

208
00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:47,599
Speaker 1: of it, but each morning I went out with expectancy,

209
00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:51,000
Speaker 1: looking for God's goodness, knowing it could happen at any moment.

210
00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:54,920
Speaker 1: This went on month after month, even year after year.

211
00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:59,160
Speaker 1: No sign. How badly do you want it? The lady

212
00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:02,920
Speaker 1: in the scripture waited twelve years, but she wanted it

213
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:07,160
Speaker 1: so badly she fought through the crowd. Every voice said

214
00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:11,440
Speaker 1: to her stay home. It's too much trouble, so much opposition.

215
00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:15,079
Speaker 1: Her attitude was, I've come too far to stop now.

216
00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:18,600
Speaker 1: I may be tired, i may be uncomfortable, but I'm

217
00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:22,600
Speaker 1: gonna get to Jesus. When God sees you doing what

218
00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:27,160
Speaker 1: you can, believing when there's no sign, thanking Him when

219
00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:32,000
Speaker 1: you're weak, taking steps of faith when you're uncomfortable, God

220
00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:35,600
Speaker 1: will give you strength that goes beyond your natural ability.

221
00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:38,439
Speaker 1: He'll help you do what you couldn't do on your own.

222
00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:44,200
Speaker 1: I just kept believing, day after day, thanking God. Last week,

223
00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:48,440
Speaker 1: on Monday, something happened that I've been believing for for

224
00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:52,880
Speaker 1: over three years. I was so grateful. Then Tuesday morning,

225
00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:57,400
Speaker 1: something even more amazing happened. I couldn't believe it. If

226
00:13:57,400 --> 00:14:01,440
Speaker 1: that wasn't enough. Tuesday evening, some bigger than the first

227
00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:06,560
Speaker 1: two combine, more than I can imagine, happened. It was

228
00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:10,840
Speaker 1: like rapid fire, boom boom, boom, a flood of God's favor.

229
00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:14,120
Speaker 1: That's the way God is. When you stay in faith,

230
00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:19,000
Speaker 1: you consistently thank Him even when there's no sign. You

231
00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:23,440
Speaker 1: will come into these suddenlies where God not only surprises

232
00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:27,840
Speaker 1: you didn't see it coming, but it will exceed your expectation.

233
00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:31,200
Speaker 1: The scripture talks about how God will do things that

234
00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:34,400
Speaker 1: will cause our head to spin. My head was spinning

235
00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:39,000
Speaker 1: that night. Maybe you've been praying, believing, expecting for a

236
00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:43,480
Speaker 1: long time. Stay encouraged. It's on the way. You are

237
00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:47,240
Speaker 1: closer than you think. It's going to happen sooner than

238
00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:51,440
Speaker 1: it looks. There's no sign of things improving. Everything looks

239
00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:56,160
Speaker 1: the same. Get ready. God is full of surprises. He

240
00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:59,440
Speaker 1: doesn't always do things in a normal way where it

241
00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:03,800
Speaker 1: gradually gets better. He'll do them suddenly out of the ordinary.

242
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:07,840
Speaker 1: You didn't see it coming. It's because day after day

243
00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:11,680
Speaker 1: we kept a week. You kept touching him, you kept

244
00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:14,840
Speaker 1: expecting it, you kept thanking him. It was on the way.

245
00:15:15,080 --> 00:15:18,120
Speaker 1: You kept talking like it was going to happen. Your

246
00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:21,200
Speaker 1: faith is going to make you whole. Your faith is

247
00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:24,040
Speaker 1: going to break the addiction. Your faith is going to

248
00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:26,680
Speaker 1: bring you out of debt. Your faith is going to

249
00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:30,400
Speaker 1: help you accomplish your God given dreams. Talked to a

250
00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:34,680
Speaker 1: lady that started having problems with her legs. Her muscles

251
00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:38,400
Speaker 1: and joints were causing her such pain got to the

252
00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:41,600
Speaker 1: point where she couldn't walk. All the doctors could do

253
00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:45,280
Speaker 1: was give her medicine for the pain. For several months,

254
00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:48,040
Speaker 1: she couldn't go to work, she couldn't stand up. She

255
00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:50,440
Speaker 1: had to stay at home off of her feet. The

256
00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:53,400
Speaker 1: prognosis didn't look good. She didn't know if she would

257
00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:57,720
Speaker 1: ever walk again. One Saturday evening, she and her husband

258
00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:01,640
Speaker 1: were watching our services online. At the end, I always

259
00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:05,960
Speaker 1: ask people to stand to receive Christ. Well, her husband

260
00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:09,520
Speaker 1: stood up right there in the living room. She smiled

261
00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:12,320
Speaker 1: and was pleasantly surprised. He looked at her and said,

262
00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:15,240
Speaker 1: come on, honey, stand up with me. She was kind

263
00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:17,040
Speaker 1: of confused, said what do you mean. You know I

264
00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:20,040
Speaker 1: can't stand. He said, sure you can. Took her by

265
00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:22,880
Speaker 1: the hands and he helped her up. He held her

266
00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:27,000
Speaker 1: while we were praying. I can imagine God seeing her

267
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:31,320
Speaker 1: there standing in great pain being held by her husband.

268
00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:35,880
Speaker 1: But determined to take a step of faith. I said,

269
00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:39,120
Speaker 1: at the end, write this day down. It's going to

270
00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:42,760
Speaker 1: be a new day of victory. That seed took root

271
00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:46,040
Speaker 1: in her heart. She believed it was a new day.

272
00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:49,000
Speaker 1: In a few minutes, while she was sitting on the couch,

273
00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:52,360
Speaker 1: she felt the bones in her legs begin to pomp

274
00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:55,720
Speaker 1: and crack, and her muscles began to move. She said,

275
00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:59,880
Speaker 1: I can't explain it, but something unusual was happening. String

276
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:03,000
Speaker 1: to begin to come back into her legs. Suddenly, all

277
00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:08,679
Speaker 1: that pain was gone. Her husband had fallen asleep. She

278
00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:12,879
Speaker 1: stood up and walked into the bedroom. He couldn't believe it.

279
00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:15,760
Speaker 1: The next morning, they both got up and went to church.

280
00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:18,600
Speaker 1: She said, Jeel, I don't know what happened, but I've

281
00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:24,040
Speaker 1: been walking normal ever since then. What was that Her

282
00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:28,160
Speaker 1: faith made her home. Just like that lady fought her

283
00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:32,240
Speaker 1: way through the crowd. When God sees you releasing your faith,

284
00:17:32,680 --> 00:17:36,600
Speaker 1: it gets his attention. That's what activates his power. She

285
00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:39,639
Speaker 1: could have been discouraged, told her husband, don't bother me.

286
00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:42,480
Speaker 1: You know, I can't stand up, But as an act

287
00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:45,760
Speaker 1: of faith, even though he had to hold her, she

288
00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:50,160
Speaker 1: stood up. Can God see your faith? Are you doing

289
00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:53,280
Speaker 1: anything that says I want to be well, I want

290
00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:55,639
Speaker 1: to be free, I want to go to the next level.

291
00:17:56,440 --> 00:17:59,280
Speaker 1: That's what a man did in March chapter ten. His

292
00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:03,000
Speaker 1: name was Barti. He was a blind beggar sitting on

293
00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:06,480
Speaker 1: the side of the road. Jesus was leaving Jericho and

294
00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:09,560
Speaker 1: about to pass in front of him. When he found

295
00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:14,520
Speaker 1: out it was Jesus, he started shouting, Jesus, son of David,

296
00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:19,600
Speaker 1: have mercy on me. Well, Jesus technically wasn't the son

297
00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:23,120
Speaker 1: of David. He was the son of Joseph. Why did

298
00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:27,359
Speaker 1: Barbibas call him son of David? He recognized he was

299
00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:32,159
Speaker 1: the Messiah. A few chapters earlier, the religious leaders didn't

300
00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:37,080
Speaker 1: recognize Jesus. They thought he was a fraud. They were jealous, intimidated,

301
00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:41,399
Speaker 1: It's interesting that this blind man, a man that didn't

302
00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:44,679
Speaker 1: have physical sight, was one of the first ones to

303
00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:49,879
Speaker 1: recognize Jesus as the Messiah. When he cried out Jesus,

304
00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:56,160
Speaker 1: son of David, he was saying, Messiah, Healer, deliverer, most

305
00:18:56,240 --> 00:19:01,000
Speaker 1: high God. Jesus stopped in his tracks. I can imagine

306
00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:05,159
Speaker 1: Jesus thinking, here's someone that knows who I am. He

307
00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:10,480
Speaker 1: knows I am all powerful. He's expecting my goodness. When

308
00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:15,280
Speaker 1: Bartimaeus started shouting, people around him said Bartimaeus, be quiet,

309
00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:18,160
Speaker 1: you're causing the scene. He's gonna get upset with you.

310
00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:21,480
Speaker 1: People will try to talk you out of your miracle.

311
00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:25,120
Speaker 1: They'll tell you all the reasons why you can't get wound,

312
00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:27,600
Speaker 1: why you won't break the addiction, why you won't meet

313
00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:31,320
Speaker 1: the right person. It's because they don't know what God

314
00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:35,880
Speaker 1: put in you. They can't hear what you hear. Negative

315
00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:39,800
Speaker 1: voices will try to discourage you. But when you get quiet,

316
00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:44,280
Speaker 1: you'll hear that still small voice saying, this addiction is

317
00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:48,480
Speaker 1: not your destiny. You're better than this. Living in lack,

318
00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:52,240
Speaker 1: not able to get ahead, is not your lot in life.

319
00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:57,560
Speaker 1: Abundance is on the way. Being depressed no passion. That

320
00:19:57,760 --> 00:20:01,439
Speaker 1: is not who you are. Eat him is coming, Joy

321
00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:06,080
Speaker 1: is coming, Breakthroughs are coming. God whispers in your spirit,

322
00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:11,200
Speaker 1: dreams and promises what you can become. The enemy will

323
00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:14,800
Speaker 1: do his best to drown that out, no matter how

324
00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:18,520
Speaker 1: loud those other voices are. Don't let them talk you

325
00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:22,280
Speaker 1: out of what God has whispered in your spirit. The

326
00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:26,920
Speaker 1: scripture talks about the secret petitions of our hearts. That's

327
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:30,560
Speaker 1: the dreams God gave you at night, the promises you

328
00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:34,399
Speaker 1: haven't told anyone about. It seems too far out, like

329
00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:37,720
Speaker 1: it could never happen. That's God speaking to you. His

330
00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:40,840
Speaker 1: dream for your life is much bigger than your own.

331
00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:46,040
Speaker 1: But these people saw Bartimaeus as insignificant, unimportant. He's just

332
00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:49,360
Speaker 1: a blind beggar. He told him to be quiet, but

333
00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:54,440
Speaker 1: Bartimaeus shouted even louder. When Jesus heard him, he stopped

334
00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:58,439
Speaker 1: and said, let him come to me. Verse fifty says

335
00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:04,320
Speaker 1: Bartimaeus throw off his coat. This was significant in those days.

336
00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:09,119
Speaker 1: Scholars tell us when a person had a legitimate disability,

337
00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:13,320
Speaker 1: they were given an official coat from the government that

338
00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:17,080
Speaker 1: gave them the right to beg The beggar's coat was

339
00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:20,919
Speaker 1: very valuable. That's how they made their living. On the

340
00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:24,840
Speaker 1: other hand, it labeled you as a beggar, just as

341
00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:29,960
Speaker 1: we recognize people by their uniforms police officer, firefighter, a doctor.

342
00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:34,240
Speaker 1: When you wore the beggar's coat, everywhere you went, people

343
00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:37,560
Speaker 1: knew you're at a disadvantage, You're not up to par.

344
00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:41,080
Speaker 1: In a sense, that coat gave you the right to

345
00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:44,480
Speaker 1: feel sorry for yourself, the right to be depressed, the

346
00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:48,600
Speaker 1: right to sit around in self pity. When Bartimaeus heard

347
00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:52,320
Speaker 1: Jesus say come, the first thing he did was throw

348
00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:56,280
Speaker 1: off his coat. His attitude was, this is a new day.

349
00:21:57,080 --> 00:22:01,359
Speaker 1: I am done feeling sorry for myself. I'm done wearing

350
00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:05,680
Speaker 1: this label that says disadvantage. I'm done begging. I don't

351
00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:09,920
Speaker 1: need this coat anymore. He changed his mindset. I am

352
00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:13,040
Speaker 1: not a victim. I am a victor. God is on

353
00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:16,080
Speaker 1: the throne. He's bigger than this problem. He has beauty

354
00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:20,680
Speaker 1: for these ashes. He got rid of the excuses. As

355
00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:25,400
Speaker 1: long as you justify where you are, making excuses as

356
00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:29,000
Speaker 1: to why you can't rise higher, why you're at a disadvantage,

357
00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:33,480
Speaker 1: why you're bitter, then you'll get stuck. I wonder how

358
00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:36,800
Speaker 1: many of us are wearing that beggar's coat, Joel, I

359
00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:39,359
Speaker 1: had a bad childhood. I've got a good reason to

360
00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:43,280
Speaker 1: be bitter. Somebody walked out of a relationship, I lost

361
00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:45,439
Speaker 1: a loved one. I came down with an illness. That's

362
00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:49,080
Speaker 1: why I'm negative, That's why I'm sour. Before you can

363
00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:52,080
Speaker 1: get well, you have to take off the beggar's coat.

364
00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:55,639
Speaker 1: Can I tell you? We all have a reason to

365
00:22:55,680 --> 00:23:00,000
Speaker 1: feel sorry for ourselves. Everybody's been hurt, everybody's made mistakes,

366
00:23:00,520 --> 00:23:05,560
Speaker 1: everybody's had disappointments. Get rid of the excuses. It may

367
00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:08,720
Speaker 1: not have been fair, but God is fair. He's a

368
00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:12,280
Speaker 1: god of justice. He wouldn't have allowed it if it

369
00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:15,480
Speaker 1: was going to keep you from your purpose. And I'm

370
00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:19,360
Speaker 1: all for being compassionate, loving kind, But I don't believe

371
00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:23,480
Speaker 1: in giving people the right to feel sorry for themselves.

372
00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:27,280
Speaker 1: Not because it wasn't fair, not because life didn't throw

373
00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:30,520
Speaker 1: you a curve, but because it will keep you from

374
00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:33,920
Speaker 1: seeing the beauty for ashes. It will keep you from

375
00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:39,399
Speaker 1: being restored, healed, vindicated, promoted. God wants to make the

376
00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:43,040
Speaker 1: enemy pay. He wants to bring you out better. Do

377
00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:46,800
Speaker 1: your part. Take off the self pity, take off the hurts,

378
00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:51,480
Speaker 1: take off the disappointments. You can't reach your destiny. Making

379
00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:55,560
Speaker 1: excuses as long as you're wearing the beggar's coat. Giving

380
00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:59,480
Speaker 1: yourself a reason to be bitter, feel disadvantaged, feel less

381
00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:02,560
Speaker 1: than it will keep you from the new levels God

382
00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:07,040
Speaker 1: has in store. When Bartimaeus took off that coat, he

383
00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:10,680
Speaker 1: was not only leaving his livelihood. He was leaving the

384
00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:13,960
Speaker 1: negative things of the past. It was symbolic. He was

385
00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:17,639
Speaker 1: leaving the dysfunction, the bad breaks. You have to be

386
00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:20,679
Speaker 1: willing to leave some things. If you're going to become

387
00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:23,200
Speaker 1: all you were created to be, you may need to

388
00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:27,960
Speaker 1: leave bitterness, leave a bad attitude, leave compromise. Jesus told

389
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:32,080
Speaker 1: Bartimaeus to come. He couldn't see, but he started walking

390
00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:37,120
Speaker 1: toward Jesus based solely on what he heard. You may

391
00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:40,000
Speaker 1: not see healing yet, but you have to go by

392
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:44,000
Speaker 1: what you've heard. By his stripes, I am healed. You

393
00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:47,120
Speaker 1: don't see increase yet. Business is slow. Go by what

394
00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:51,200
Speaker 1: you've heard. I will lend and not borrow. Your child's

395
00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:54,679
Speaker 1: off course, no sign of him improving. As for me

396
00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:58,440
Speaker 1: and my house, we will serve the Lord. Walk by

397
00:24:58,480 --> 00:25:03,320
Speaker 1: faith and not by sight. Jesus asked Bartimaeus, what is

398
00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:06,440
Speaker 1: it that you want me to do for you? He said, Lord,

399
00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:11,000
Speaker 1: I want to see. Jesus said, your faith has made

400
00:25:11,040 --> 00:25:14,000
Speaker 1: you whole. Go in peace. You were healed instantly. He

401
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:18,080
Speaker 1: could see God is saying to us what he said

402
00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:21,719
Speaker 1: to him. Your faith is going to turn things around.

403
00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:25,680
Speaker 1: Your faith is going to open the right doors. Your

404
00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:29,639
Speaker 1: faith is going to bring unusual favor. It's going to

405
00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:34,879
Speaker 1: happen sooner than it looks. Keep expecting it, Keep talking

406
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:38,000
Speaker 1: like it's going to happen. Go out each morning looking

407
00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:41,760
Speaker 1: for God's goodness he's passing by. Don't just brush up

408
00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:45,600
Speaker 1: against him. Do like this lady, reach out and touch him.

409
00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:50,240
Speaker 1: If you'll do this, I believe and declare, like Bartimaeus,

410
00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:53,720
Speaker 1: your faith is going to make things happen that you

411
00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:58,280
Speaker 1: could never make happen. God is about to open supernatural doors,

412
00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:02,639
Speaker 1: turn impossible situation around, and take you to the fullness

413
00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:06,520
Speaker 1: of your destiny. In Jesus's name, if you receive it,

414
00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:10,360
Speaker 1: can you say hi? Then today I'd like to give

415
00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:13,640
Speaker 1: you an opportunity to make Jesus the lord of your life.

416
00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:18,720
Speaker 1: Would you pray with me? Just say, Lord, Jesus, I

417
00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:23,800
Speaker 1: repent of my sins, come into my heart. I'll make

418
00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:27,639
Speaker 1: you my Lord and savior. Friends, if you prayed that

419
00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:31,000
Speaker 1: simple prayer, we believe you got born again. Get in

421
00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:42,080
Speaker 2: What if what you imagine came to pass. What if

422
00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:45,560
Speaker 2: what you asked for turned out greater than what you

423
00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:46,919
Speaker 2: can see?

424
00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:48,520
Speaker 1: What if you could.

425
00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:50,440
Speaker 2: Plan for God's best in your life.

426
00:26:51,359 --> 00:26:54,480
Speaker 1: We all have hopes and dreams and things we're believing for,

427
00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:57,560
Speaker 1: But what God has in store for you is more

428
00:26:57,600 --> 00:27:00,400
Speaker 1: than you can imagine. When you start the are off

429
00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:03,600
Speaker 1: in faith, believe in for greater things. That's when God
