1
00:00:00,760 --> 00:00:03,120
Speaker 1: Hi, this is Joel and Victoria. Thanks so much for

2
00:00:03,160 --> 00:00:06,280
Speaker 1: listening to the podcast. We have a new resource. It's

3
00:00:06,320 --> 00:00:09,120
Speaker 1: a twenty twenty four daily devotional. We'd love to send

4
00:00:09,119 --> 00:00:11,440
Speaker 1: it to you. It'll help you start the day off right.

5
00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:14,120
Speaker 1: You will love this devotional and know this, we are

6
00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:16,959
Speaker 1: praying for you and we are believing for God's very

7
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:21,400
Speaker 1: best for you in twenty twenty four. Hey, God bless you.

8
00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:24,080
Speaker 1: It's great to be with you today, and I hope

9
00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:26,599
Speaker 1: you'll stay connected with us during the week through our

10
00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:30,600
Speaker 1: daily podcast, our YouTube channel, and social media, and you

11
00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:33,159
Speaker 1: can come visit us in person. We'd love to have

12
00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:35,960
Speaker 1: you be a part of one of our services. I'd

13
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:38,200
Speaker 1: like to start with something funny, and I heard about

14
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:41,440
Speaker 1: this pastor. He'd been out in the woods bear hunting

15
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:44,839
Speaker 1: all day long and searched and searched, but didn't see

16
00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:48,400
Speaker 1: any sign of a bear. Finally, in frustration, he threw

17
00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:50,720
Speaker 1: his gun down on the ground and he went down

18
00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:53,400
Speaker 1: to the stream to cool off. About that time, and

19
00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:56,360
Speaker 1: he saw this huge grizzly bear about one hundred yards

20
00:00:56,400 --> 00:01:00,240
Speaker 1: away coming to ward in full speed ahead. He fell

21
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:03,320
Speaker 1: down on his knees and said, God, please convert this bear.

22
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:07,360
Speaker 1: To a Christian. Miraculously, the bear froze in his tracks,

23
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:10,119
Speaker 1: put both paws up in the air, and said, Lord,

24
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:12,480
Speaker 1: thank you for this food that I'm about to eat.

25
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:16,200
Speaker 1: He say it like you mean it. This is my Bible.

26
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:19,040
Speaker 1: I am what it says I am. I have what

27
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:21,520
Speaker 1: it says I have. I can do what it says

28
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:24,399
Speaker 1: I can do. Today I will be taught the word

29
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:28,720
Speaker 1: of God. I boldly confess my mind is alert, my

30
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:33,199
Speaker 1: heart is receptive. I will never be the same. In Jesus' name,

31
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:37,200
Speaker 1: God bless you. I want to talk to you today

32
00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:41,840
Speaker 1: about hearing the heavenly cheers. I grew up playing sports,

33
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:45,000
Speaker 1: and I realize the difference it makes to have someone

34
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:48,000
Speaker 1: in the stands rooting for you. When you look over

35
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:50,920
Speaker 1: and you see your family, you hear them calling your

36
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:55,000
Speaker 1: name with their hands in the air, encouraging you. It

37
00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:58,200
Speaker 1: makes you run a little faster and jump a little higher,

38
00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:03,120
Speaker 1: gives you a greater determine, nation more stamina, all because

39
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:06,600
Speaker 1: someone is cheering you on. I was in track and

40
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:09,280
Speaker 1: field in high school and I ran the mile and

41
00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:12,480
Speaker 1: one of our meats was out of town, and some

42
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:15,400
Speaker 1: friends of mine drove a couple of hours to watch

43
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:18,480
Speaker 1: me run. They brought signs that they held up in

44
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:22,840
Speaker 1: the stands. Run Joel Run. I acted like I was embarrassed,

45
00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:25,840
Speaker 1: but really I liked it. But as I circled that

46
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 1: track during the race, I could hear them calling my name,

47
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:32,639
Speaker 1: Go Joel, you can do this. I ran that day

48
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:36,000
Speaker 1: like I was FoST gun. I normally come in third

49
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:38,440
Speaker 1: or fourth place, but that day I won the race.

50
00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 1: It does something to you when you have people pulling

51
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:45,320
Speaker 1: for you, When someone your love is in the stands

52
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:47,680
Speaker 1: and you know they believe in you, it gives you

53
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:52,680
Speaker 1: a boost. You'll achieve things you would normally achieve. Hebrews

54
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:56,600
Speaker 1: eleven talks about the heroes of faith and all these

55
00:02:56,639 --> 00:03:03,840
Speaker 1: people that have gone before us and the amazing things they'veccomplished. Noah, Abraham, David, Sarah,

56
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:08,040
Speaker 1: people that were known and not known. They believed and endured.

57
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:13,040
Speaker 1: They saw giants defeated, walls come down Red Sea's Park.

58
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:17,959
Speaker 1: Chapter twelve says, seeing that we are surrounded by such

59
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:21,480
Speaker 1: a great cloud of witnesses, let us run the race

60
00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:25,280
Speaker 1: that is set before us. The great cloud of witnesses

61
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:29,080
Speaker 1: that were surrounded by are the heroes of faith mentioned

62
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 1: in chapter eleven. This paints the picture of a big

63
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:36,680
Speaker 1: stadium up in heaven with the race taking place. The

64
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:40,560
Speaker 1: people in the grandstands are the saints of old. These

65
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:45,360
Speaker 1: heroes of faith are looking down cheering us on. You're

66
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:48,800
Speaker 1: not running your race alone. All of Heaven is pulling

67
00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:52,640
Speaker 1: for you. Not only the heroes of faith, but your

68
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:56,520
Speaker 1: loved ones that have gone before you. Those believers in

69
00:03:56,600 --> 00:04:00,720
Speaker 1: your family line, your grandparents, relative you may not have

70
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:04,920
Speaker 1: ever met. They're looking over the banisters of heaven. They're

71
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:08,280
Speaker 1: in that great cloud of witnesses saying, you go, girl,

72
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:11,680
Speaker 1: You go, boy, keep running, keep being your best. You've

73
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:14,760
Speaker 1: got what it takes. My father went to be with

74
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:18,880
Speaker 1: the Lord twenty five years ago. Next month. People often

75
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:21,480
Speaker 1: ask me, do you think he knows what's going on?

76
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:25,320
Speaker 1: You think he can see what's happening. Always tell them, yes,

77
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:28,400
Speaker 1: I know where Daddy is. He's in the grim stands.

78
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 1: He's in the great cloud of witnesses. I can hear

79
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 1: him cheering me on by faith. I can hear him

80
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 1: calling my name, Joel. Keep going, you're making us proud.

81
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:43,320
Speaker 1: You're taking new ground. Your loved ones in heaven are

82
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 1: not just floating around. They don't know anything. No they're

83
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:51,160
Speaker 1: cheering for you. They believe in you. They had their time,

84
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:55,480
Speaker 1: now this is your time. Hebrews eleven says something interesting

85
00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:59,040
Speaker 1: after talking about all the heroes of faith and the

86
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:02,479
Speaker 1: amazing things they they had done. Verse thirty nine says,

87
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:06,640
Speaker 1: none of them received all that God had promised, for

88
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:10,200
Speaker 1: God has far better things in store for us that

89
00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:14,440
Speaker 1: would also benefit then. For they can't receive the prize

90
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:17,600
Speaker 1: at the end of their race until we finish our race.

91
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:22,200
Speaker 1: This is saying, there are things your loved ones accomplished,

92
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:25,440
Speaker 1: but they didn't finish it. It couldn't happen in just

93
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:29,719
Speaker 1: one generation. They didn't see the fullness. They're going to

94
00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:32,560
Speaker 1: see the prize when you finish it. They're going to

95
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:35,599
Speaker 1: get their full reward when you step up and do

96
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:39,240
Speaker 1: what God's put in your heart. It's going to take boldness,

97
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:44,360
Speaker 1: not letting fear hold us back. It's going to take integrity, excellence,

98
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:47,840
Speaker 1: staying on the high road. Your loved ones are counting

99
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:51,600
Speaker 1: on you. They may have fulfilled their purpose, but their

100
00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:57,400
Speaker 1: assignment wasn't complete. Yes, they endured, they sacrificed, they stretched.

101
00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:02,400
Speaker 1: Some of them faced injustice, discrimination and things that were

102
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:05,760
Speaker 1: not fair, but they fought the good fight. They didn't

103
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:09,680
Speaker 1: give up, they didn't get bitter, they never complained, They

104
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:13,800
Speaker 1: just kept honoring God being their best. Now they're in

105
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:17,520
Speaker 1: the grand stands. They've done their part. It's up to us.

106
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:21,159
Speaker 1: Twenty years before my father went to be with the Lord,

107
00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:25,120
Speaker 1: he talked about wanting to buy this place. It was

108
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:28,039
Speaker 1: called the Summit. Back then he was speaking for a

109
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:31,119
Speaker 1: friend of ours, and I have the recording. He said,

110
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:33,640
Speaker 1: one day, we're going to have the Summit for our

111
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:37,240
Speaker 1: church home. At that time, Lakewood was in a four

112
00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:40,680
Speaker 1: thousand seat auditorium. We didn't need a place this big.

113
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:44,800
Speaker 1: But sometimes God will put things in your spirit that

114
00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:48,400
Speaker 1: are for the next generation. You may see further than

115
00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:52,920
Speaker 1: you're going to go. God works generationally. That's why there

116
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:56,720
Speaker 1: are saints of old cheering you on. When you fulfill

117
00:06:56,839 --> 00:07:01,200
Speaker 1: your course, the scripture says you will benefit. Then this

118
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:05,080
Speaker 1: should inspire us to not get complacent, to lay aside

119
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:08,320
Speaker 1: weights that are holding us back, to run with passion,

120
00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:13,200
Speaker 1: with excellence. Your relatives are counting on you. You're not

121
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:16,800
Speaker 1: just living under your self. You're affecting those that will

122
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:20,080
Speaker 1: come after you, and you're honoring those that have gone

123
00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:24,080
Speaker 1: before you. They will benefit. They will receive a reward

124
00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:28,080
Speaker 1: because you took new ground. You ran your race with purpose.

125
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:32,000
Speaker 1: When we heard that the Compact Center was coming available,

126
00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:36,120
Speaker 1: something came alive in my spirit. I didn't know at

127
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:39,679
Speaker 1: that time that my father had talked about purchasing this building.

128
00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:43,480
Speaker 1: I hadn't heard that recording, but deep down I knew

129
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:46,280
Speaker 1: it was supposed to be ours, and there was a

130
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:49,720
Speaker 1: faith that rose up. I can't even take credit for it.

131
00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:53,960
Speaker 1: The scripture talks about the faith of our fathers, the

132
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:57,240
Speaker 1: faith of those that went before us. I believe it

133
00:07:57,280 --> 00:07:59,760
Speaker 1: was my father in the grand stands cheering me on.

134
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:04,960
Speaker 1: It was those heroes of faith, encouraging, supporting, believing in

135
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:09,240
Speaker 1: me by faith. I could hear the heavenly cheers. I

136
00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:12,480
Speaker 1: could hear David saying, Joel, the giant may look big.

137
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:15,280
Speaker 1: I've been there, but I can tell you our God

138
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:18,960
Speaker 1: is bigor I defeated it, you can defeat it too.

139
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:24,000
Speaker 1: I could hear Gideon saying, you feel unqualified, intimidated, you

140
00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:26,520
Speaker 1: don't think you can pastor the church. I've been there.

141
00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:30,040
Speaker 1: I was hiding when God called me a mighty hero.

142
00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:34,600
Speaker 1: I was afraid, but God called me to lead the people, Joel,

143
00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:38,480
Speaker 1: you have what it takes. You are a mighty hero. When

144
00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:42,640
Speaker 1: you know Heaven is cheering for you, You'll feel supernatural strength.

145
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:46,080
Speaker 1: You'll have the faith to do what God's called you

146
00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:49,440
Speaker 1: to do. We read about the heroes of faith in

147
00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:52,840
Speaker 1: chapter eleven, but can I encourage you? The list is

148
00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:57,199
Speaker 1: not complete. I'm looking at heroes of faith. I'm looking

149
00:08:57,240 --> 00:09:00,880
Speaker 1: at David's and Sarah's, and Josephs and Gideon. I'm looking

150
00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:05,600
Speaker 1: at giant killers, burier breakers, people that take new ground,

151
00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:10,720
Speaker 1: people that are finishing what was started generations back. I

152
00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:13,960
Speaker 1: can imagine my father up in heaven saying to people

153
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:16,560
Speaker 1: in the grand stands, look at Joel, that's my son.

154
00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:19,480
Speaker 1: Look at him believing for big things. Look at him

155
00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:23,679
Speaker 1: setting new standards. There are people in the grand stands

156
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:29,360
Speaker 1: right now bragging on you, admiring your accomplishments, telling others

157
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:32,600
Speaker 1: how proud they are of you, your loved ones that

158
00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:37,720
Speaker 1: have gone on. They see your faithfulness, they see your generosity,

159
00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:41,920
Speaker 1: They see you overlooking wrongs. They see you keep going

160
00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:45,400
Speaker 1: when you feel like stopping. They see you raising that

161
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:49,520
Speaker 1: child by yourself, going the extra mile, doing the right

162
00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:53,199
Speaker 1: thing when it's hard. God not only sees it, but

163
00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:57,400
Speaker 1: your relatives in heaven, they see it. By faith, you

164
00:09:57,480 --> 00:10:00,800
Speaker 1: need to hear the heavenly cheers. The people that mean

165
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:03,640
Speaker 1: the most to you, the ones that invested in you,

166
00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:08,040
Speaker 1: that raised you, made sacrifices for you. They're not only

167
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:11,640
Speaker 1: proud of you, but they're pulling for you. They have

168
00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:14,760
Speaker 1: your name up on a sign, so to speak. They're

169
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:18,720
Speaker 1: cheering you on as you run. You're not just running

170
00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:22,240
Speaker 1: for you, You're running for your grandmother. You're running for

171
00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:25,320
Speaker 1: your great grandfather, those in your family line that you've

172
00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:29,520
Speaker 1: never met. But because of you, they're being rewarded. They

173
00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:32,959
Speaker 1: couldn't finish it all. God had better things in mind

174
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:37,000
Speaker 1: for you. My grandfather on my mother's side was born

175
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:39,880
Speaker 1: in the early nineteen hundreds. He was orphaned when he

176
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:43,240
Speaker 1: was eight years old. His father died of an illness.

177
00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:46,640
Speaker 1: He was sent to different homes to live. He wasn't

178
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:50,640
Speaker 1: really treated right, but that didn't stop him. He worked

179
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:54,559
Speaker 1: at the Exon refinery in Baytown for almost forty years

180
00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:57,600
Speaker 1: and never missed a day of work, not to go

181
00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:00,120
Speaker 1: to the dentist, not to go out of town. He

182
00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:03,680
Speaker 1: was faithful. When he retired, he would come down to

183
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:07,600
Speaker 1: the church practically every weekday and do chores. I would

184
00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:10,400
Speaker 1: see him under the portable buildings working on the plumbing.

185
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:14,360
Speaker 1: He and my grandmother had one child, my mother. He

186
00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:18,319
Speaker 1: died at ninety six. Not many people knew him. He

187
00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:22,600
Speaker 1: was quiet and unassuming. I missed my grandfather, but I

188
00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:25,880
Speaker 1: know where he is. He's in the grand stands of heaven.

189
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:30,080
Speaker 1: He's one of the heroes of faith. He fulfilled his purpose.

190
00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:33,440
Speaker 1: He played his part in the plan of God for

191
00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:37,600
Speaker 1: our family. He was faithful, he was generous. You could

192
00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:40,360
Speaker 1: count on him. I can hear him cheering me on

193
00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:44,600
Speaker 1: when I get tired, have things come against me. I

194
00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:48,040
Speaker 1: can hear Granddaddy saying, Joey, you're doing good. Keep going.

195
00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:51,400
Speaker 1: You're making us proud. Well, you said, Joel, I don't

196
00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:54,480
Speaker 1: have anyone in the grand stands like that. My family

197
00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:58,680
Speaker 1: didn't honor God. We weren't faithful, we were dysfunctional. You

198
00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:01,800
Speaker 1: wouldn't be hearing this if there wasn't someone in your

199
00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:05,160
Speaker 1: family line that honor God. You may have never met them,

200
00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:09,600
Speaker 1: but can I assure you they know you, they see you,

201
00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:15,040
Speaker 1: and they're cheering you on. You're making them proud your faithfulness,

202
00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:19,040
Speaker 1: your hard work, your skill is causing them to be blessed.

203
00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:23,760
Speaker 1: You're helping to finish what God started through them. When

204
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:27,320
Speaker 1: you hear those cheers from the grand stands, cheers from

205
00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:32,559
Speaker 1: loved ones that serve without fanfare, that endured hardships, that

206
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:37,520
Speaker 1: defied odds, accomplish more than people thought, you'll draw strength

207
00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:41,440
Speaker 1: and inspiration that will help you to believe bigger you,

208
00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:45,320
Speaker 1: to go further, you to accomplish more. And sometimes when

209
00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:50,280
Speaker 1: you feel down, nobody's encouraging you. The obstacle looks too big.

210
00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:53,320
Speaker 1: You need to look up and hear them calling your name.

211
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:57,480
Speaker 1: They believe in you. They know you have what it takes.

212
00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:01,240
Speaker 1: They made it in their day, But this is your day.

213
00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:05,320
Speaker 1: God has raised you up for this time, David said

214
00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:08,360
Speaker 1: to his son Solomon. Get to know the God of

215
00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:12,800
Speaker 1: your ancestors. There's something about knowing those that went before us,

216
00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:17,880
Speaker 1: knowing what they accomplished, what they endured, how God stepped

217
00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:21,600
Speaker 1: in and made ways and opened doors, turned situations around

218
00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:25,440
Speaker 1: in the grand stands of heaven. Imagine that we could

219
00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:29,560
Speaker 1: pull people out and talk with these heroes of faith individually.

220
00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:33,079
Speaker 1: What would they say to us? I can see an

221
00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:37,040
Speaker 1: older gentleman step out of the grand stands, looks very handsome,

222
00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:41,800
Speaker 1: very distinguished. He says, hello, my name is Moses. We

223
00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:45,240
Speaker 1: stand there in awe, chills going up and down our spine. Man,

224
00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:49,000
Speaker 1: that's Moses. Then he calls you by name, Hey, Robert,

225
00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:53,280
Speaker 1: Hey Jennifer, Hey Maria. I've been cheering for you. We

226
00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:56,440
Speaker 1: get more in Halle. He knows my name. He goes

227
00:13:56,480 --> 00:14:00,440
Speaker 1: on to say, my encouragement is it's not too late

228
00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:03,840
Speaker 1: to accomplish your dreams. You see, when I was eighty

229
00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:07,760
Speaker 1: years old, I thought I was done. I made mistakes.

230
00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:11,000
Speaker 1: I was living in the desert, been out there for

231
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:15,000
Speaker 1: forty years, so discouraged. When all of a sudden, God

232
00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:17,800
Speaker 1: came to me in a burning bush and said, go

233
00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:21,080
Speaker 1: deliver the Israelites. I didn't think I could do it.

234
00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:25,720
Speaker 1: I was intimidated. I stuttered, but something rose up in me,

235
00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:30,440
Speaker 1: a fade, a fire and anointing. I stepped out, and

236
00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:34,360
Speaker 1: God made things happen that I never imagine. Moses is

237
00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:37,840
Speaker 1: in those stands right now, calling your name, saying you

238
00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:42,360
Speaker 1: can still accomplish your dreams. You're not too old, you

239
00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:45,440
Speaker 1: haven't made too many mistakes, you haven't gotten too far

240
00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:49,520
Speaker 1: off course, God knew every wrong term. He knew every

241
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:53,360
Speaker 1: bad decision that we would make. His mercy is bigger

242
00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:57,920
Speaker 1: than those mistakes. He's already planned your comeback. What he

243
00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:01,520
Speaker 1: started in your life, he's going to now you have

244
00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:04,520
Speaker 1: to do your part. Quit believing the lives that you're

245
00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:08,560
Speaker 1: washed up. You missed your chance. The enemy is called

246
00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:12,280
Speaker 1: the accuser. He'll keep reminding you of everything you've done wrong,

247
00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:16,880
Speaker 1: every mistake, every flaw, every weakness. He'd love for us

248
00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:21,320
Speaker 1: to go through life guilty, condemned, down on yourself. But

249
00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:26,160
Speaker 1: I can hear some encouragement from heaven. It's Moses. He's saying, no, no,

250
00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:28,960
Speaker 1: take it from me. The best part of your life

251
00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:32,080
Speaker 1: is still in front of you. God is about to

252
00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:37,960
Speaker 1: reignite your dream. He's restoring the passion. Guilt, shame, regret.

253
00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:41,480
Speaker 1: Those things are leaving you. Now you're about to feel

254
00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:44,480
Speaker 1: a new sense of destiny. Doors are about to open.

255
00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:48,280
Speaker 1: Opportunity you thought was too far gone is about to

256
00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:52,320
Speaker 1: come back again. God didn't change his mind about your purpose.

257
00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:56,240
Speaker 1: He didn't just qualify you because you made a mistake.

258
00:15:57,120 --> 00:16:00,360
Speaker 1: He hasn't forgotten about you. Out in the desert. You

259
00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:02,680
Speaker 1: may have been there a long time, but this is

260
00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:06,000
Speaker 1: a new day. He sent me as that burning bush

261
00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:09,320
Speaker 1: to say, get back in the game, get your fireback,

262
00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:13,600
Speaker 1: get your passion back. It's still gonna happen. I see

263
00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:16,120
Speaker 1: a woman step out of the grand stands. We don't

264
00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:20,080
Speaker 1: recognize her. The scripture never gives us her name. Yet

265
00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:23,560
Speaker 1: she's in the Heroes of Faith. She smiles and says, hello,

266
00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:28,440
Speaker 1: I'm Moses' mother. My encouragement is that God will take

267
00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:31,880
Speaker 1: care of your children. See when my baby was born,

268
00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:35,560
Speaker 1: King Herod put out a decree that all the Hebrew

269
00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:38,680
Speaker 1: baby boys under the age of two would be killed.

270
00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:41,800
Speaker 1: But I knew the hand of God was on my baby,

271
00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:44,840
Speaker 1: that he was born to be a deliverer. So I

272
00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:48,360
Speaker 1: put baby Moses in a basket and send him down

273
00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:53,760
Speaker 1: the Nile River. There were snakes, alligators, all kinds of danger,

274
00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:57,800
Speaker 1: but I knew Jehovah knows how to protect his children.

275
00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:02,640
Speaker 1: It just so happened. Pharaoh's daughter was out taking a bath.

276
00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:06,359
Speaker 1: She heard the cries coming from the basket. When she

277
00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:09,720
Speaker 1: saw little Moses, it was love at first sight. She

278
00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:12,600
Speaker 1: took him in to raise as her own son. But

279
00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:16,919
Speaker 1: she needed someone to nurse the child. She asked her assistant.

280
00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:20,120
Speaker 1: She said, I know just who to get. She went

281
00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:23,840
Speaker 1: and got moses mother. She not only helped raise her son,

282
00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:27,480
Speaker 1: but the pharaoh's daughter paid her for doing it. Only

283
00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:31,280
Speaker 1: God could make that happen. And with everything going on today,

284
00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:34,840
Speaker 1: it's easy to worry about our children. Are they safe,

285
00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:39,040
Speaker 1: who they hanging around, what are they watching, who's influencing them?

286
00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:42,720
Speaker 1: But Moses' mother would tell you, when you commit your

287
00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:46,480
Speaker 1: children into God's hands, He'll keep them from the alligators,

288
00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:50,399
Speaker 1: the snakes, the wrong people. He'll close doors they need

289
00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:54,360
Speaker 1: to close. He'll push back evil and harm. He has

290
00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:58,520
Speaker 1: a hedge of protection around your children. When you're tempted

291
00:17:58,560 --> 00:18:02,439
Speaker 1: to worry, lose leap. You can hear moses mother saying,

292
00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:05,440
Speaker 1: I've been there, look like it would never work out

293
00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:08,800
Speaker 1: for my child. There were all kinds of danger. But

294
00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:12,800
Speaker 1: God is faithful. He will protect your children. He has

295
00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:16,159
Speaker 1: angels watching over them. You may have a child this

296
00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:20,080
Speaker 1: off course now, family member, there's not making good decisions

297
00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:23,760
Speaker 1: that is not permanent. The hand of God is still

298
00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:28,120
Speaker 1: on them because you're honoring God. The enemy cannot take

299
00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:31,520
Speaker 1: them out. There is a bloodline that he cannot cross.

300
00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:35,240
Speaker 1: And it may seem like they're never gonna make good decisions.

301
00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:39,359
Speaker 1: But God is working. Things are happening that you can't sing.

302
00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:44,280
Speaker 1: Like with Moses, the alligators are not harming them, the

303
00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:48,480
Speaker 1: basket is not tumping over. God is still in control.

304
00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:51,560
Speaker 1: Even though your child is going down the Nile river,

305
00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:55,400
Speaker 1: so to speak. He's still ordering their steps. Even though

306
00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:58,400
Speaker 1: you had to turn loose, there's nothing more you could do.

307
00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:01,760
Speaker 1: You may have turned life, but God didn't turn loose.

308
00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:04,480
Speaker 1: You had to let go, but God didn't let go.

309
00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:07,680
Speaker 1: You don't know where they are right now, but God

310
00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:11,680
Speaker 1: knows exactly where they are. He's already lined up Pharaoh's

311
00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:14,720
Speaker 1: daughter the right people that will help them get back

312
00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:18,400
Speaker 1: on track. You don't have to live worried. God knows

313
00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:21,000
Speaker 1: how to hide your children. He knows how to make

314
00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:25,320
Speaker 1: them invisible to the enemy. Moses's mother is saying, God

315
00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:27,479
Speaker 1: did it for my child, He's going to do it

316
00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:30,439
Speaker 1: for yours. When you get to know the God of

317
00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:35,000
Speaker 1: your ancestors, it'll encourage you. Moses' mother is in our

318
00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:39,000
Speaker 1: family line. When you became a believer, all these heroes

319
00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:41,679
Speaker 1: of faith are a part of your lineage. They're in

320
00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:46,399
Speaker 1: the grandstands cheering you on. Well, Joel, this is all encouraging.

321
00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:49,080
Speaker 1: But man, I've had a lot of bad breaks, had

322
00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:51,960
Speaker 1: a set back in my finances, my health went down,

323
00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:55,400
Speaker 1: People did me wrong. That's why I'm discouraged. I see

324
00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:58,080
Speaker 1: a man walk out of the grand stands. He says,

325
00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:01,400
Speaker 1: I know how you feel. I've been there. My name

326
00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:05,840
Speaker 1: is Job. Life was going great when everything fell apart.

327
00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:09,920
Speaker 1: Lost my health, I had big boils all over my body,

328
00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:13,960
Speaker 1: lost my family, lost my business. God so bad my

329
00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:17,000
Speaker 1: wife even told me Job just curse God and die.

330
00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:20,080
Speaker 1: All my friends said it was my own fault. I

331
00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:23,440
Speaker 1: was so depressed that I sat down among the ashes

332
00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:28,200
Speaker 1: and yes, sometimes life is not fair. We don't understand

333
00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:32,120
Speaker 1: everything that happens. But I can assure you God wouldn't

334
00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:35,400
Speaker 1: have allowed it if he wasn't going to somehow bring

335
00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:38,760
Speaker 1: good out of it. He's not just making your life miserable.

336
00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:42,320
Speaker 1: That setback is a set up for God to show

337
00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:46,200
Speaker 1: out in your life in a greater way. Just when

338
00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:48,960
Speaker 1: it seemed like Job was going to settle there, he

339
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:51,879
Speaker 1: looked up to the heavens and said, I know my

340
00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:56,040
Speaker 1: redeemer lives. He was saying, God, I know you're still

341
00:20:56,040 --> 00:20:59,119
Speaker 1: on the throne. You have the final say, now, I

342
00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:03,240
Speaker 1: don't understand this, but I trust you. God not only

343
00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:06,520
Speaker 1: brought Job through the difficulty, but Job came out with

344
00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:10,359
Speaker 1: twice what he had before, twice the cattle, twice the sheep.

345
00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:13,320
Speaker 1: God his joy back, his health back, his dreams back.

346
00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:16,040
Speaker 1: And we hear a lot about the trial of Job

347
00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:19,399
Speaker 1: and all the suffering, and yes that's true, but the

348
00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:23,679
Speaker 1: scripture says after the difficulty, Job lived one hundred and

349
00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:29,040
Speaker 1: forty years and enjoyed four generations of his children. You

350
00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:32,280
Speaker 1: may be in a difficult time now. Things have happened

351
00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:35,560
Speaker 1: that you don't understand. Thoughts will whisper, it's always going

352
00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:38,200
Speaker 1: to be this wife. You're always going to be sick,

353
00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:43,520
Speaker 1: always depressed, always lonely. No, listen to Job as he

354
00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:46,760
Speaker 1: stands on the balconies of heaven. What's he saying. I

355
00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:49,520
Speaker 1: know it's been rough, but can I tell you Double

356
00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:53,440
Speaker 1: is coming. God is going to make the enemy pay twice,

357
00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:57,520
Speaker 1: the joy twice, the peace twice, the strength twice, the resources.

358
00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:01,160
Speaker 1: Now you have to get in agreement with God. You're

359
00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:03,240
Speaker 1: not I could have seen Double. If you're sitting in

360
00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:07,680
Speaker 1: the ashes bitter discourage, tune all that out and start

361
00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:10,840
Speaker 1: listening to the heroes of faith. Get to know the

362
00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:15,440
Speaker 1: God of your ancestors. They walked where we're walking. They

363
00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:20,359
Speaker 1: faced opposition, giants, trouble, sickness, but they stand as a

364
00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:24,760
Speaker 1: testimony to the goodness of God. They're in heaven, not

365
00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:28,399
Speaker 1: just worshiping, not just praising, but they're cheering you on.

366
00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:32,680
Speaker 1: They're calling your name, saying, don't get bitter, keep believing,

367
00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:37,000
Speaker 1: don't give up on that dream, keep pressing forward. I

368
00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:39,760
Speaker 1: know a woman that wasn't able to have children. She'd

369
00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:43,399
Speaker 1: had seven miscarriagism. She was about to give up and

370
00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:45,800
Speaker 1: just think it wasn't meant to be. And she heard

371
00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:48,640
Speaker 1: me talking about Job and how God paid him back

372
00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:52,199
Speaker 1: with double and that took root in her spirit. That

373
00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:55,240
Speaker 1: dream came back to life, and a few years ago

374
00:22:55,640 --> 00:23:00,440
Speaker 1: she gave birth to not one, but to twins. She said, Joel, Job,

375
00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:04,680
Speaker 1: God restored back into me doubly. Why don't you get

376
00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:08,600
Speaker 1: that down in your spirit. Someone walked out of a relationship,

377
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:12,200
Speaker 1: broke your heart. You can sit around let that sour

378
00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:15,680
Speaker 1: your life, or you can do like her father, thank

379
00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:19,240
Speaker 1: you that you're bringing me someone twice as good as

380
00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:21,320
Speaker 1: that old goat that left. I mean that person that

381
00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:25,920
Speaker 1: left twice as fun, twice as friendly, twice as godly,

382
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:29,119
Speaker 1: twice as good looking, twice as well off. When you

383
00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:31,919
Speaker 1: do that job, has his hands in the air, cheering

384
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:34,719
Speaker 1: your onn saying God did it for me, He's going

385
00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:37,919
Speaker 1: to do it for you. All of Heaven is cheering

386
00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:40,840
Speaker 1: for you. I can see Joseph step out of the

387
00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:45,120
Speaker 1: grand stands. He said, I had a lot of detours, delays,

388
00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:49,240
Speaker 1: people betrayed me. But can I tell you God is faithful.

389
00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:52,080
Speaker 1: It was all a part of his plan to get

390
00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:56,080
Speaker 1: me in position as the Prime Minister of Egypt. His

391
00:23:56,320 --> 00:23:59,960
Speaker 1: encouragement is God is working all things for your good.

392
00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:05,240
Speaker 1: Trust him. When you don't understand, the detours are divine detours.

393
00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:08,480
Speaker 1: Your steps are being ordered by the most high God.

394
00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:12,800
Speaker 1: I see another man stepping out. He says, Joseph, you

395
00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:16,199
Speaker 1: think you had it bad? That was nothing. I was dead.

396
00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:20,359
Speaker 1: My name is Lazarus. For four days I was in

397
00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:24,760
Speaker 1: a tomb, wrapped in grave clothes, stinking. But Jesus showed

398
00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:27,600
Speaker 1: up and told me to come back to life. Now

399
00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:30,520
Speaker 1: I'm here to encourage you that God can bring dead

400
00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:34,040
Speaker 1: things back to life. He can bring a dead dream,

401
00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:39,040
Speaker 1: dead marriage, things that look dead, in your health, your finances,

402
00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:43,760
Speaker 1: your mind. Get ready. A resurrection is coming. Life, health,

403
00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:48,280
Speaker 1: favor victory. My question today is, can you hear the

404
00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:51,600
Speaker 1: cheers from heaven? Do you realize you're not in this

405
00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:56,200
Speaker 1: race all alone? All your ancestors, all those that went

406
00:24:56,280 --> 00:25:00,000
Speaker 1: before you, including the heroes of faith, they're watching you.

407
00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:04,040
Speaker 1: They believe in you, and they're counting on you to

408
00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:09,040
Speaker 1: finish what God started as amazing as David was Abraham,

409
00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:12,919
Speaker 1: Ruth Sarah. The scripture says they didn't see the fullness

410
00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:16,119
Speaker 1: of the promise that God has better things in store

411
00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:20,360
Speaker 1: for us. When you take new ground, when you stretch

412
00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:24,480
Speaker 1: and break barriers, you overcome what should stop you. Your

413
00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:27,440
Speaker 1: faith is going to benefit those that went before you.

414
00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:32,120
Speaker 1: They'll receive a prize because of what you've done. How

415
00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:35,280
Speaker 1: this should inspire us to not live la a daisical

416
00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:39,920
Speaker 1: lives and indifferent, upset over the traffic, and I don't

417
00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:43,199
Speaker 1: feel like pursuing my dreams. This addiction is always going

418
00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:46,680
Speaker 1: to hinder me. Jael, Now have a new perspective. All

419
00:25:46,720 --> 00:25:50,080
Speaker 1: of Heaven is cheering for you. The saints of old

420
00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:53,720
Speaker 1: are calling your name. Your loved ones dreamed of this day.

421
00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:58,680
Speaker 1: The opportunity, the open doors, the favor. This is your

422
00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:03,200
Speaker 1: time to shine. The baton is in your hand. Moses

423
00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:07,840
Speaker 1: is done running Abraham's finished Estra's through. Your loved ones

424
00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:11,360
Speaker 1: did their best. Now all of heaven is watching you.

425
00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:15,600
Speaker 1: The good news is they know you have what it takes.

426
00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:19,000
Speaker 1: They know you're a giant killer. They know you're going

427
00:26:19,080 --> 00:26:23,040
Speaker 1: to set new standards. They can see your seeds of greatness.

428
00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:27,240
Speaker 1: Now make sure that you know it too. I believe

429
00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:30,640
Speaker 1: and declare as you hear the cheers from heaven, You're

430
00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:33,560
Speaker 1: going to go where no one in your family has gone.

431
00:26:34,040 --> 00:26:38,800
Speaker 1: The anointing is increasing from generation to generation. Forces that

432
00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:42,240
Speaker 1: have held you back are being broken right now. Favor

433
00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:47,199
Speaker 1: is coming, healings coming, breakthroughs, the fullness of your destiny

434
00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:50,800
Speaker 1: in Jesus' name, And if you receive it, can you

435
00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:55,080
Speaker 1: say amen? I'd like to give you an opportunity to

436
00:26:55,080 --> 00:26:58,000
Speaker 1: make Jesus the lord of your life. Would you pray

437
00:26:58,040 --> 00:27:02,240
Speaker 1: with me? Just say, Lord, Jesus, I repent of my sins.

438
00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:06,360
Speaker 1: Come into my heart. I make you my Lord and savior.

439
00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:09,600
Speaker 1: If you prayed that simple prayer, we believe you got

440
00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:12,879
Speaker 1: born again. We'd love to send you some free information

441
00:27:13,119 --> 00:27:15,480
Speaker 1: on your new walk with the Lord. You can text

442
00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:18,159
Speaker 1: the number on the screen or go to the website.

443
00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:21,000
Speaker 1: But I hope you'll get into a good Bible based

444
00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:27,040
Speaker 1: church and keep God first place. It's January. Time to

445
00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:32,159
Speaker 1: renew my faith. It's January. It's time to start a

446
00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:35,480
Speaker 1: new season. It's January.

447
00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:37,879
Speaker 2: There is no better time than now to set the

448
00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:39,000
Speaker 2: course of our year ahead.

449
00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:42,320
Speaker 1: The beginning of the year is a great time to

450
00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:45,320
Speaker 1: start afresh and a new to let go of negative

451
00:27:45,359 --> 00:27:47,560
Speaker 1: things of the past and to get ready for the

452
00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:51,520
Speaker 1: new things God has in store. Every January we create

453
00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:54,960
Speaker 1: a new devotional calendar that will help you throughout the year.

454
00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:58,240
Speaker 1: When you start the day off in faith, grateful for

455
00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:03,439
Speaker 1: what God's done, positive declarations over your future, you're setting

456
00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:06,560
Speaker 1: the tone for a blessed day and a victorious year.

457
00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:09,720
Speaker 1: This devotional will help you get your mind going in
