1 00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:03,160 Speaker 1: Hi, this is Joel and Victoria. Thanks for listening to 2 00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:06,360 Speaker 1: our podcast and thanks for supporting the ministry. If you 3 00:00:06,440 --> 00:00:09,040 Speaker 1: enjoy today's message, why don't you be a blessing and 4 00:00:09,080 --> 00:00:11,799 Speaker 1: share it with a friend, reappreciate you, and pray for 5 00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:14,720 Speaker 1: God's very best in your life. Well, God bless you 6 00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:17,720 Speaker 1: always a joy to come into your homes. And if 7 00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:20,400 Speaker 1: you're ever in our area, please stop buying. Be a 8 00:00:20,440 --> 00:00:23,160 Speaker 1: part of one of our services. I promise you we'll 9 00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:25,520 Speaker 1: make you feel right at home. Thanks so much for 10 00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:28,479 Speaker 1: tuning in, and thank you again for coming out. I 11 00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:31,040 Speaker 1: like to start with something funny, and I heard about 12 00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:34,320 Speaker 1: this man that was walking on the beach. God said, son, 13 00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:37,440 Speaker 1: you've been so faithful, I'm going to grant you one 14 00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:42,040 Speaker 1: special wish. He was so excited. He said, God, I've 15 00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:45,120 Speaker 1: always wanted to go to Hawaii, but I'm afraid to fly. 16 00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:48,040 Speaker 1: So my wish is that you would build me a 17 00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:53,159 Speaker 1: bridge across the ocean. God said, son, that's totally impossible. 18 00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:56,040 Speaker 1: Think of the logistics of that. Now take some time 19 00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:59,080 Speaker 1: and wish again. He said, Okay, God, I've been married 20 00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:02,960 Speaker 1: four times. All my ex wives say I am so insensitive, 21 00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:05,360 Speaker 1: So my wish is that I would be able to 22 00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:08,880 Speaker 1: understand a woman. I want to know why they think 23 00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:11,640 Speaker 1: like they think, why they feel like they feel. There 24 00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:14,400 Speaker 1: was a long pause. God said, do you want two 25 00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:18,840 Speaker 1: lanes or four lanes on that bridge? Hold up your Bible, 26 00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:21,840 Speaker 1: say it like you mean it. This is my Bible. 27 00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:24,360 Speaker 1: I am what it says I am. I have what 28 00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:26,800 Speaker 1: it says I have. I can do what it says 29 00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:29,520 Speaker 1: I can do. Today I will be taught the word 30 00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:33,480 Speaker 1: of God. I boldly confess. My mind is alert, my 31 00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:37,839 Speaker 1: heart is receptive. I will never be the same. In Jesus' name, 32 00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:41,679 Speaker 1: God bless you. I want to talk to you today 33 00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:47,119 Speaker 1: about how your words become your reality. You are where 34 00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:50,400 Speaker 1: you are today in part because of what you've been 35 00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:55,200 Speaker 1: saying about yourself. Words are like seeds. When you speak 36 00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:58,920 Speaker 1: something out, you give life to what you're saying. If 37 00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:03,960 Speaker 1: you continue to say it, eventually that can become a reality, 38 00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:07,840 Speaker 1: whether you realize it or not. You are prophesying your future. 39 00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:11,600 Speaker 1: And this is great. When we're saying things like I'm blessed, 40 00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:15,720 Speaker 1: I'm strong, i will accomplish my dreams, I'm coming out 41 00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:20,520 Speaker 1: of debt. That's not just being positive. You are prophesying victory, 42 00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:26,240 Speaker 1: prophesying success, prophesying new levels. Your life will move in 43 00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:30,040 Speaker 1: the direction of your words. But too many people go 44 00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:34,120 Speaker 1: around prophesying just the opposite. I never get any good breaks, 45 00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:38,120 Speaker 1: I'll never get back in shape. Business is slow, I'll 46 00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:41,360 Speaker 1: probably get laid off. Flu season is here. I always 47 00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:45,880 Speaker 1: get it. They don't realize they are prophesying defeat. It's 48 00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:50,480 Speaker 1: just like they're calling in bad breaks, mediocrity, lack. The 49 00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:54,040 Speaker 1: scripture says we will eat the fruit of our words. 50 00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:58,200 Speaker 1: You are planning seeds when you talk. At some point, 51 00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:01,919 Speaker 1: you're going to eat that fruit. My challenge is make 52 00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:05,600 Speaker 1: sure you're planning the right kind of seeds. If you 53 00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:09,480 Speaker 1: want apples, you have to sow apple seeds. If you 54 00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:14,359 Speaker 1: want oranges, you can't plant cactus seeds, poison ivy seeds, 55 00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:18,280 Speaker 1: mushroom seeds. You're going to reap fruit from the exact 56 00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:22,120 Speaker 1: seeds that you've been sowing. In other words, you can't 57 00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:26,520 Speaker 1: talk negative and expect to live a positive life. You 58 00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:30,639 Speaker 1: can't talk defeat and expect to have victory. You can't 59 00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:34,840 Speaker 1: talk lack, not enough, can't afford it, never get ahead, 60 00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:38,800 Speaker 1: and expect to have abundance. If you have a poor mouth, 61 00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:41,960 Speaker 1: You're going to have a poor life if you don't 62 00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:46,280 Speaker 1: like what you're seed. Start sowing some different seeds. Instead 63 00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:49,040 Speaker 1: of saying, I'll never get well, Joel, this sickness has 64 00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:51,720 Speaker 1: been in my family for three generations. No, let me 65 00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:54,560 Speaker 1: give you the right seeds. God is restoring health back 66 00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:57,600 Speaker 1: into me. This sickness didn't come to stay, it came 67 00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:01,520 Speaker 1: to pass. I'm getting better and better every day. You 68 00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:07,440 Speaker 1: keep sowing those seeds, and eventually you'll eat that fruit, health, wholeness, victory. 69 00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:10,680 Speaker 1: Instead of saying I'll never get out of debt, I'll 70 00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:13,880 Speaker 1: never rise any higher. No, I will lend and not borrow. 71 00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:17,360 Speaker 1: Whatever I touch prospers and succeeds. I'm coming in to 72 00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:21,840 Speaker 1: overflow into more than enough. Start sowing seeds of increase, 73 00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:26,720 Speaker 1: seeds of abundance. No more, I'll never accomplish my dreams. No, 74 00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:30,360 Speaker 1: I have the favor of God. Blessings are chasing me down. 75 00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:34,440 Speaker 1: The right people are searching me out. New opportunities, new 76 00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:37,840 Speaker 1: levels are in my future. If you keep talking like that, 77 00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:41,640 Speaker 1: you'll reap a harvest of good things. James said in 78 00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:45,240 Speaker 1: the scripture. With our tongue, we can bless our life, 79 00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:49,160 Speaker 1: or we can curse our life. Many people don't realize 80 00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:53,760 Speaker 1: with their words they're cursing their future. Every time you 81 00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:56,680 Speaker 1: say I never get any good breaks, you just cursed 82 00:04:56,720 --> 00:05:00,000 Speaker 1: your life. I'll never be able to afford that nice house, 83 00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:04,320 Speaker 1: I'll never break this addiction, I'll never meet the right person. No, 84 00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:09,200 Speaker 1: stop cursing your future. Sometimes the enemy doesn't have to 85 00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:13,719 Speaker 1: defeat us. We defeat ourselves. Pay attention to what you're saying. 86 00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:16,200 Speaker 1: Are you blessing your life or are you cursing it? 87 00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:19,839 Speaker 1: I had a classmate in high school that was always 88 00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:22,839 Speaker 1: very negative, and every time I ask him what was 89 00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:26,760 Speaker 1: going on, he had this standard answer. He would always say, 90 00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:31,880 Speaker 1: not much. I'm just getting old, fat and bald. I 91 00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:35,640 Speaker 1: heard him say that probably five hundred times. I know 92 00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:38,080 Speaker 1: he's just kind of kidding, but I wouldn't kid about that. 93 00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:41,799 Speaker 1: He was one of the stars on our football team, 94 00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:46,640 Speaker 1: always in great shape, had this thick, curly hair. About 95 00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:49,880 Speaker 1: fifteen years later, I ran into him at the mall. 96 00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:53,120 Speaker 1: When I saw him, I nearly passed out. He had 97 00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:58,440 Speaker 1: prophesied his future. He looked old fat and bald. Friends, 98 00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:02,159 Speaker 1: don't speak that defeat over your life. Our attitude should 99 00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:05,800 Speaker 1: be I'm getting younger. God is renewing my youth like 100 00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:13,080 Speaker 1: the eagles. I'm getting stronger, healthier, better looking. I'm gonna 101 00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:16,200 Speaker 1: keep my hair, I'm gonna stay in my right mind. 102 00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:20,840 Speaker 1: I'm gonna live a long, productive, faith filled life. Don't 103 00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:24,880 Speaker 1: go around cursing your future. Start blessing your life. Prophesy 104 00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:28,760 Speaker 1: good things. There's a young lady on staff here. Every 105 00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:31,359 Speaker 1: morning before she leaves the house, she looks in the 106 00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:36,440 Speaker 1: mirror and says, girl, you looking good today. I saw 107 00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:38,719 Speaker 1: her one time and ask if she was still doing it. 108 00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:41,160 Speaker 1: She said yeah. In fact, today, when I looked in 109 00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:44,520 Speaker 1: the mirror, I said, girl, some days you look good, 110 00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:50,800 Speaker 1: but today you look really good. Why don't you stop 111 00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:55,159 Speaker 1: criticizing yourself, talking about all the things you don't like, 112 00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:58,440 Speaker 1: how you're getting too old, too wrinkled, to this, to that. 113 00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:03,320 Speaker 1: Stop cursing your life and start blessing your life. Start 114 00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:09,960 Speaker 1: calling yourself healthy, strong, talented, beautiful young. Every morning, before 115 00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:11,760 Speaker 1: you leave the house, look in the mirror and say, 116 00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:16,520 Speaker 1: good morning, you good looking thing. My brother, Paul, you 117 00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:23,520 Speaker 1: need to do this every hour. Sometimes, when we've been 118 00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:27,840 Speaker 1: traveling a lot, being very busy, Victoria will come to 119 00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:29,920 Speaker 1: church with me and say Joel, I am so tired. 120 00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:32,840 Speaker 1: Look at me. Can you see how red my eyes are? 121 00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:35,960 Speaker 1: I always say, no, Victoria, you look beautiful. You look 122 00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:38,720 Speaker 1: as great as ever. She says no. I don't, Joel, 123 00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:41,600 Speaker 1: I know you. You won't tell me she's right. I 124 00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:43,800 Speaker 1: don't want to speak defeat. I want to speak victory 125 00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:47,120 Speaker 1: over her life. I wonder what she would do if 126 00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:49,400 Speaker 1: I ever said, yeah, you're right, you don't look good 127 00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:56,520 Speaker 1: at all. I'm smarter than that. I know this man 128 00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:59,160 Speaker 1: that was so concerned that he was going to get 129 00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:03,600 Speaker 1: Alzheimer's disease. Several people in his family had it, a grandfather, 130 00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:07,400 Speaker 1: a great uncle. He was in his early fifties, but 131 00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:11,040 Speaker 1: he was always talking about what might happen. He told 132 00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:13,880 Speaker 1: me how he is making plans for who could take 133 00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:17,280 Speaker 1: care of him, get everything lined up. And of course 134 00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:19,960 Speaker 1: it's good to use common sense to be wise. But 135 00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:23,000 Speaker 1: if you go around talking about when you're going to 136 00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:27,160 Speaker 1: get it, making plans for it, most likely you won't 137 00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:31,080 Speaker 1: be disappointed. You're calling it in, just like you're sending 138 00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:34,520 Speaker 1: it an invitation. I told him what I'm telling you. 139 00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:38,120 Speaker 1: Don't say another time that you're going to have Alzheimer's. 140 00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:42,120 Speaker 1: Start declaring, no weapon formed against me will ever prosper. 141 00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:45,360 Speaker 1: I will live out my days in good health, with 142 00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:49,439 Speaker 1: a clear mind, with good memory, with clarity of thought. 143 00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:53,559 Speaker 1: My mind is alert, my senses are sharp, my youth 144 00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:58,480 Speaker 1: is being renewed. You've got to prophesy health, prophesy a long, 145 00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:03,800 Speaker 1: productive life. Your words will become your reality. When our 146 00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:08,119 Speaker 1: daughter Alexandra was about four years old, she overheard Victorian 147 00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:11,320 Speaker 1: me talking about this little boy that was having a 148 00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:14,760 Speaker 1: terrible time with headaches. He was having to leave school 149 00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:18,839 Speaker 1: and causing him all kinds of difficulties. Alexandra spoke up 150 00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:22,040 Speaker 1: and said, Daddy, I don't have headaches and I never 151 00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:26,280 Speaker 1: will have headaches. I thought, you're exactly right, you're prophesying 152 00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:29,360 Speaker 1: the right thing. One time I was working on my 153 00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:32,240 Speaker 1: garage door back then. I couldn't get it to go up, 154 00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:35,959 Speaker 1: and it's kind of frustrated. I didn't even realize Alexandra 155 00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:39,000 Speaker 1: was there, but under my breath, I said, this thing 156 00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:42,080 Speaker 1: is never going to work. I heard this little voice 157 00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:46,920 Speaker 1: speak up. Daddy, You're going to have what you say odd. 158 00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:51,800 Speaker 1: It's terrible when your own children believe your messages. Proverb 159 00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:55,680 Speaker 1: six says we are snared by the words of our mouth. 160 00:09:56,440 --> 00:10:01,400 Speaker 1: Snared means to be trapped. Your words can try what 161 00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:04,480 Speaker 1: you say, can cause you to stumble, It can keep 162 00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:08,160 Speaker 1: you from your potential. You're not snared by what you think. 163 00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:12,320 Speaker 1: Negative faults come to us all. When you speak them out, 164 00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:16,400 Speaker 1: you give them life. That's when they become a reality. 165 00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:19,320 Speaker 1: When you say I'll never get back in shape, it 166 00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:23,120 Speaker 1: becomes more difficult. You just made it harder. When you 167 00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:26,280 Speaker 1: say I never get any good breaks, that stops the 168 00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:29,560 Speaker 1: favor that was ordained for you. If you say I'm 169 00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:32,840 Speaker 1: not that talented, I don't have a good personality, that 170 00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:36,080 Speaker 1: is setting the limits for your life. That is calling 171 00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:40,200 Speaker 1: in mediocrity. You may have been snared in the past, 172 00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:43,480 Speaker 1: trapped by your words, but I believe this is a 173 00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:46,679 Speaker 1: new day. I declare you're coming out of that trap. 174 00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:50,320 Speaker 1: Every chain is being loose, every stronghold is coming down. 175 00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:53,880 Speaker 1: No weapon formed against you is going to prosper. Now 176 00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:57,080 Speaker 1: you've got to do your part. Start speaking victory over 177 00:10:57,120 --> 00:11:03,199 Speaker 1: your life. Speak increase to declare God's favor. Be bold 178 00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:06,319 Speaker 1: to call in those things you're dreaming about, those things 179 00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:10,160 Speaker 1: you're believing for. Don't use your words to describe the 180 00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:15,640 Speaker 1: situation use your words to change the situation. Matthew, Chapter six, 181 00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:19,559 Speaker 1: Jesus was talking about worry. He said, take no thought, 182 00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:24,160 Speaker 1: saying what shall we eat? What shall we drink? Notice 183 00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:28,760 Speaker 1: that phrasing, take no thoughts? Save the negative thoughts will come. 184 00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:33,040 Speaker 1: The key is to not say them. I thought, will 185 00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:37,480 Speaker 1: die still born if you don't speak it. Jesus was saying, 186 00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:40,800 Speaker 1: you may feel worried, you may seem like it's never 187 00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:45,080 Speaker 1: going to happen, but take no thoughts, saying, don't verbalize it. 188 00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:49,440 Speaker 1: Don't get trapped by your words. When we acquired this 189 00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:52,679 Speaker 1: place the form of Compact Center, it was a dream 190 00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:57,120 Speaker 1: come true. We were so excited. Our builders drew up 191 00:11:57,160 --> 00:12:00,480 Speaker 1: plans to renovate it from a basketball arena to church. 192 00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:03,320 Speaker 1: They called us together and said it was going to 193 00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:07,760 Speaker 1: cost one hundred million dollars to renovate. After they picked 194 00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:12,720 Speaker 1: me up off the floor, my first thoughts were, that's impossible. 195 00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:16,760 Speaker 1: There's no way. I've only been the pastor of four years. 196 00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:19,559 Speaker 1: They cannot expect me to raise those kind of funds. 197 00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:22,960 Speaker 1: Even though those thoughts were racing through my mind again 198 00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:26,640 Speaker 1: and again, I was smart enough to keep my mouth closed. 199 00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:30,040 Speaker 1: I kept a big smile. On my face, acted like 200 00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:33,040 Speaker 1: it was no big deal. I knew if I wouldn't 201 00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:38,560 Speaker 1: verbalize those negative thoughts, eventually they would die stillborn. It's 202 00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:41,160 Speaker 1: one thing to think that it's impossible, but when you 203 00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:44,920 Speaker 1: start telling people it's impossible, takes on a whole new meaning. 204 00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:49,680 Speaker 1: You may think, I'll never break this illness, I'll never 205 00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:53,160 Speaker 1: get well, I'll never meet the right person. Those thoughts 206 00:12:53,240 --> 00:12:55,880 Speaker 1: come to all of us. You can't stop that. My 207 00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:59,800 Speaker 1: challenge is, don't give them life by speaking them out. 208 00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:02,600 Speaker 1: Don't go call your friends and tell them how it's 209 00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:05,720 Speaker 1: not going to happen. I told our team I don't 210 00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:08,480 Speaker 1: see away, but I know God has a way. He 211 00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:11,360 Speaker 1: didn't bring us this far to leave us. My report 212 00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:14,560 Speaker 1: was God is supplying all of our needs. The funds 213 00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:17,920 Speaker 1: are coming in. It may look impossible on paper, but 214 00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:21,920 Speaker 1: with God, all things are possible. I knew better than 215 00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:25,000 Speaker 1: to curse my future. I didn't want to get trapped 216 00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:27,959 Speaker 1: by my words. I knew if I'd keep prophesying the 217 00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:31,720 Speaker 1: right things, increase favor more than enough, then we would 218 00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:35,200 Speaker 1: start moving toward it. In the tough times, you have 219 00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:40,120 Speaker 1: to especially be on guard. It's very tempting to venture frustration. 220 00:13:40,920 --> 00:13:43,920 Speaker 1: Tell people how the loan didn't go through and how 221 00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:47,199 Speaker 1: bad the medical report was, how these people just didn't 222 00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:51,960 Speaker 1: treat you right. But continually talking about the problem, that's 223 00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:54,920 Speaker 1: not only going to make you more discouraged, but you're 224 00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:59,480 Speaker 1: giving that problem more life. You're making it bigger. Turn 225 00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:02,440 Speaker 1: it around. Don't talk about the problem. Talk about the 226 00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:06,120 Speaker 1: promise instead of Oh man, I got this big challenge. No, 227 00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:09,720 Speaker 1: I serve a big God. He spoke worlds into existence. 228 00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:13,760 Speaker 1: Nothing's too difficult for him. Instead, I didn't get the promotion. 229 00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:17,760 Speaker 1: God passed over again. Another disappointment. Now I know when 230 00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:21,120 Speaker 1: one door closes, that means God has something better. He's 231 00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:25,280 Speaker 1: directed my steps. I'm excited about my future. Instead, I'll 232 00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:27,960 Speaker 1: never meet the right person. Joe, I'm too old, it's 233 00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:30,760 Speaker 1: been too long. No, something good is going to happen 234 00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:34,640 Speaker 1: to me. Divine connections are coming my way. Well, I 235 00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:37,440 Speaker 1: heard you got a bad medical report. Yes, that's true, 236 00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:40,280 Speaker 1: But I have another report. It says God is restoring 237 00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:43,160 Speaker 1: health back into men. And I heard those people did 238 00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:46,600 Speaker 1: you wrong? Yes, But I'm not worried. God is my vindicator. 239 00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:50,160 Speaker 1: He's fighting my battles. He's promised to give me beauty 240 00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:54,960 Speaker 1: for ashes. See, in life, there are always two voices 241 00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:58,840 Speaker 1: vying for your attention, the voice of faith and the 242 00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:02,880 Speaker 1: voice of defeat. You'll hear a voice saying, like I did, 243 00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:07,000 Speaker 1: problem's too big. It's not gonna work out. Just accept it. 244 00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:11,280 Speaker 1: You'll be tempted to worry, to be negative, to complain. 245 00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:15,480 Speaker 1: But if you listen carefully, you'll hear another voice, the 246 00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:19,560 Speaker 1: voice of faith, saying God has a way, Favor is coming, 247 00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:23,840 Speaker 1: healing is coming, breakthroughs are coming. One voice will tell 248 00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:27,120 Speaker 1: you you've reached your limits, You've gone as far as you can. 249 00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:29,920 Speaker 1: You don't have what it takes. The other voice you 250 00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:32,840 Speaker 1: are well able, you can do all things through Christ. 251 00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:35,840 Speaker 1: Your best days are still in front of you. Now 252 00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:39,640 Speaker 1: here's the beauty. You get to choose which voice comes 253 00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:42,600 Speaker 1: to life. The way you do it is by what 254 00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:47,000 Speaker 1: you speak. When you verbalize that thought, you're giving it 255 00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:50,360 Speaker 1: the right to come to pass. If you go around saying, ah, 256 00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:54,160 Speaker 1: the problem's too big, I'll never get well, you are 257 00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:57,480 Speaker 1: agreeing with the wrong voice. You've got to get in 258 00:15:57,560 --> 00:16:02,240 Speaker 1: agreement with God. The other voice may seem louder, but 259 00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:05,080 Speaker 1: you can override it. You can take away all of 260 00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:09,320 Speaker 1: its power by choosing the voice of faith. Maybe you're 261 00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:12,720 Speaker 1: going to a job interview. One voice will tell you you're 262 00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:15,080 Speaker 1: not going to get it, You're wasting your time. These 263 00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:18,400 Speaker 1: people are not going to like you. Another voice will say, 264 00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:22,080 Speaker 1: you have the favor of God, you're blessed, you're confident, 265 00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:24,880 Speaker 1: you have what it takes. But if you get up 266 00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:28,080 Speaker 1: that morning and tell your spouse, I don't think I'm 267 00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:30,920 Speaker 1: gonna get this job, They're not gonna like me. I'm 268 00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:35,160 Speaker 1: not qualified, there's no use even going you're being trapped 269 00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:38,280 Speaker 1: by your words. You have to dig your heels in 270 00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:42,280 Speaker 1: and say, I am not giving life to any more defeat. 271 00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:47,080 Speaker 1: I am not speaking lack. I'm not speaking sickness. I'm 272 00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:51,280 Speaker 1: not speaking mediocrity, not enough. I'm gonna choose the voice 273 00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:55,800 Speaker 1: of faith. It says I'm strong, I'm healthy, I'm blessed, 274 00:16:55,880 --> 00:17:00,280 Speaker 1: I'm favored. I am a victor, not a victim. This 275 00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:04,600 Speaker 1: is what David did when he faced Goliath. It looked impossible, 276 00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:07,960 Speaker 1: all the odds were against him. If he would have 277 00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:11,880 Speaker 1: verbalized his negative thoughts, that would have kept him from 278 00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:15,399 Speaker 1: his destiny, even though he was anointed to be king. 279 00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:19,040 Speaker 1: Those negative words would have kept him trapped in the 280 00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:22,640 Speaker 1: shepherd's fields. He could have easily gone around saying, well, 281 00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:25,320 Speaker 1: I know I'm supposed to face Goliath, but look at him. 282 00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:29,719 Speaker 1: He's twice my size, He's got more experience, more equipment, 283 00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:32,040 Speaker 1: more talent. I don't want to see how this is 284 00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:35,720 Speaker 1: ever going to work out. You can talk yourself out 285 00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:39,800 Speaker 1: of your destiny. Negative words can keep you from becoming 286 00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:43,439 Speaker 1: who you were created to be. Don't fall into that trap. 287 00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:47,399 Speaker 1: Quit calling in defeat. Quit talking about how it's not 288 00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:51,560 Speaker 1: going to happen. You can pray in faith, ask God 289 00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:54,640 Speaker 1: to turn it around, to do the impossible, but then 290 00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:57,800 Speaker 1: walk away and start talking about how you're not going 291 00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:00,840 Speaker 1: to get well, how your child's never gone to straighten up. 292 00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:05,520 Speaker 1: Those negative words just canceled out that prayer. Well, Joel, 293 00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:08,760 Speaker 1: I'm having this financial crisis. I prayed and asked God 294 00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:10,840 Speaker 1: to help me, but I don't see how it's going 295 00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:15,400 Speaker 1: to happen. No, zip that up. Father. You said you're Jehovah, Jirah, 296 00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:18,000 Speaker 1: the Lord, my provider. Lord. You've done it for me 297 00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:19,879 Speaker 1: in the past. I know you'll do it for me 298 00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:24,160 Speaker 1: again in the future. Don't let your words trip you. 299 00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:29,240 Speaker 1: Negative talk brings negative results. But when you speak faith 300 00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:33,120 Speaker 1: favor victory. That's what allows God to do the impossible. 301 00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:36,680 Speaker 1: David went out stood before Goliath. He looked him in 302 00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:39,600 Speaker 1: the eyes, said you come against me with a sword 303 00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:42,720 Speaker 1: and a shield, But I come against you in the 304 00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:46,840 Speaker 1: name of the Lord, God of Israel. This day I 305 00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:50,000 Speaker 1: will defeat you and feed your head to the birds 306 00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:54,640 Speaker 1: of the air. Notice he was prophesying victory. He may 307 00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:58,360 Speaker 1: have felt fear, but he spoke faith. I can hear 308 00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:01,760 Speaker 1: David as he's going out face Goliath under his breath. 309 00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:05,320 Speaker 1: I am well able, I am anointed, I am equipped. 310 00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:08,720 Speaker 1: If God before me, who dare be against me, picked 311 00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:11,119 Speaker 1: up that rock, put it in a slingshot, slung it. 312 00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:15,760 Speaker 1: That rock brought Goliath tumbling down. When you face giants 313 00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:18,720 Speaker 1: in life, when you face challenges, you have to do 314 00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:23,600 Speaker 1: like David, prophesy your future. Say to that cancer, cancer, 315 00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:26,639 Speaker 1: you are no match for me. I will defeat you. 316 00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:30,040 Speaker 1: This addiction may be in my family for years, but 317 00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:32,720 Speaker 1: this is a new day. The buck stops with me. 318 00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:36,720 Speaker 1: I'm the difference maker. I am free. My child may 319 00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:39,080 Speaker 1: have been off course for a long time, but I 320 00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:41,919 Speaker 1: know it's only temporary. As for me and my house, 321 00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:45,720 Speaker 1: we will serve the Lord prophesy victory over your life. 322 00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:48,800 Speaker 1: There was a man in the scripture named Zaruba Bell. 323 00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:53,640 Speaker 1: He faced a huge mountain, a big obstacle. But like David, 324 00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:56,840 Speaker 1: he didn't talk about how impossible it was, how it 325 00:19:56,880 --> 00:20:01,200 Speaker 1: was never going to work out. He said, who, oh, 326 00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:04,880 Speaker 1: great mountain that would stand before me, you shall become 327 00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:09,320 Speaker 1: a mere mole hill. He was prophesying his future. The 328 00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:13,160 Speaker 1: mountain looked big, but he declared it would be flattened out, 329 00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:16,960 Speaker 1: it would become a mole hill. There's the principle. Don't 330 00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:20,840 Speaker 1: talk about the mountain. Talk to the mountain. Look at 331 00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:23,679 Speaker 1: that mountain of debt. Tell it you can't defeat me. 332 00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:26,879 Speaker 1: You're coming down. I will lend and not borrow. My 333 00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:30,879 Speaker 1: cup will run over. Whatever mountains you face in life, 334 00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:34,639 Speaker 1: no matter how big they look, don't shrink back in fear. 335 00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:39,200 Speaker 1: Don't be intimidated. Rise up in faith. Tell that mountain 336 00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:44,119 Speaker 1: you're coming down. Tell that sickness you're temporary. Say to 337 00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:48,320 Speaker 1: that loneliness, that addiction, that legal problem. Who are you, 338 00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:51,840 Speaker 1: oh great mountain, to stand before me? In other words, 339 00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:54,960 Speaker 1: don't you know who I am? A child of the 340 00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:58,679 Speaker 1: Most High God? Haven't you read my birth certificate. My 341 00:20:58,840 --> 00:21:02,159 Speaker 1: father created the U universe. He breathed life into me, 342 00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:06,160 Speaker 1: crowned me with his favor, called me more than a conqueror. 343 00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:10,000 Speaker 1: That means you can't defeat me, you can't hold me 344 00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:14,000 Speaker 1: back mountain. You've gotta come down. I will overcome this illness. 345 00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:17,480 Speaker 1: I will break this addiction. I will pay my house off, 346 00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:21,800 Speaker 1: I will see my family restored. I will accomplish my dreams. 347 00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:27,040 Speaker 1: What am I saying? Prophesy, victory, prophesy, breakthroughs, prophesy, what 348 00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:32,120 Speaker 1: you're believing for. In the Old Testament, Ezekiel saw a vision. 349 00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:36,200 Speaker 1: He had this dream of this valley filled with bones. 350 00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:40,800 Speaker 1: Everywhere he looked, it's like a huge graveyard, acres and 351 00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:45,119 Speaker 1: acres of bones, people that have died. Bones represent things 352 00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:48,720 Speaker 1: in our life that look dead, situations that seem impossible, 353 00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:51,880 Speaker 1: like they'll never change. And God told him to do 354 00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:57,040 Speaker 1: something interesting. He said, Ezekiel, prophesy to these dead bones. 355 00:21:57,720 --> 00:22:00,560 Speaker 1: Say to them, oh you dry bones, here the word 356 00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:04,440 Speaker 1: of the Lord. And Ezekiel in this vision, he started 357 00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:07,560 Speaker 1: speaking to the bones, telling them to come back to life. 358 00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:13,600 Speaker 1: He called forth skin muscle tissue. As he was talking, 359 00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:17,879 Speaker 1: these bones started coming together. Just like out of a movie, 360 00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:22,000 Speaker 1: morphing back into a person. Finally, God told him to 361 00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:26,640 Speaker 1: prophesy to the breath and call it forth. The scripture says, 362 00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:30,840 Speaker 1: as he prophesied, breath came into those bodies, and they 363 00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:34,679 Speaker 1: stood up like a vast army. You may have things 364 00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:39,680 Speaker 1: in your life that seem dead, your health, business, a relationship. 365 00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:42,439 Speaker 1: All you can see, so to speak, is that valley 366 00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:45,679 Speaker 1: of dry bones. God is saying to you what he 367 00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:49,080 Speaker 1: said to Ezekiel. It's not enough to just pray about it. 368 00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:53,520 Speaker 1: You need to speak to it. Prophesye to those dead bones. 369 00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:58,560 Speaker 1: Call in health, call in abundance, call in restoration. That 370 00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:01,440 Speaker 1: child that's been off course, don't just pray about it. 371 00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:04,840 Speaker 1: Prophesy to him, son, daughter, come back in. You will 372 00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:08,480 Speaker 1: fulfill your destiny. You're struggling with an addiction. Don't just 373 00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:13,240 Speaker 1: pray about it. Prophesy, I am free. Chains are broken 374 00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:15,160 Speaker 1: off of me. This is a new day of victory. 375 00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:19,320 Speaker 1: Get your check book out. Prophesy to it. All it 376 00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:22,760 Speaker 1: looks like are dead bones, dead, lack struggle. I prophesy 377 00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:25,560 Speaker 1: out of these dead bones, I will lend and not borrow. 378 00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:29,240 Speaker 1: I am the head enough to tell I am coming 379 00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:33,960 Speaker 1: into overflow. Just like with Ezekiel. If you'll prophesy to 380 00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:38,120 Speaker 1: the bones, God will resurrect what looked dead. He'll make 381 00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:42,240 Speaker 1: things happen that you could never make happen. Psalm too says, 382 00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:46,520 Speaker 1: I will declare a decree. A decree was something that 383 00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:50,720 Speaker 1: was written down, like an official document. The Psalmist was saying, 384 00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:53,960 Speaker 1: there's something that's been written that I'm going to start speaking. 385 00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:58,159 Speaker 1: You and I can do the same thing. Declare a decree. 386 00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:01,639 Speaker 1: You should write down your goal, write down what you 387 00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:04,640 Speaker 1: want to see happen in life, any areas that you're 388 00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:07,640 Speaker 1: struggling in where you need to improve, Write it down 389 00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:12,800 Speaker 1: like it's already done, and then every day declare that decree, 390 00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:16,800 Speaker 1: read over it a couple of times out loud. It's 391 00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:20,200 Speaker 1: not enough to just think it. Something happens when we speak. 392 00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:24,880 Speaker 1: You have to prophesy your future. You can personalize yours, 393 00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:28,359 Speaker 1: but let me give you some generic things that should 394 00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:32,360 Speaker 1: be on your decree. I am strong, I am healthy, 395 00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:36,879 Speaker 1: I am in shape. I weigh what I'm supposed to weigh. 396 00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:41,639 Speaker 1: I am full of energy. I am passionate, I am talented, 397 00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:47,639 Speaker 1: I am secure, I am valuable, I am confident. I 398 00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:51,640 Speaker 1: have a good personality. People like me. I am fun 399 00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:56,040 Speaker 1: to be around. I am happy. I enjoy my life. 400 00:24:56,760 --> 00:25:00,000 Speaker 1: I am a person of excellence. I am full of integrity. 401 00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:05,600 Speaker 1: I am successful, I am prosperous. MY future is bright. 402 00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:10,240 Speaker 1: MY children are mighty in the land. My legacy will 403 00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:14,880 Speaker 1: live on to inspire future generations. I run with purpose 404 00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:19,439 Speaker 1: in every step. I am blessed, I am victorious. I 405 00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:22,720 Speaker 1: am a child of the most High God. If you 406 00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:27,479 Speaker 1: keep speaking things like that over your life, those words 407 00:25:27,520 --> 00:25:30,159 Speaker 1: will get down on the inside of you. They'll not 408 00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:33,680 Speaker 1: only change your outlook, but they will change who you are. 409 00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:38,800 Speaker 1: Your words will become your reality. You are prophesying your future. 410 00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:42,200 Speaker 1: Over time, those words will become a part of your 411 00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:45,840 Speaker 1: everyday vocabulary. It'll be no big deal for you to 412 00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:48,760 Speaker 1: go around saying I'm blessed, I'm healthy, I have the 413 00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:52,400 Speaker 1: favor of God. Instead of being trapped by your words, 414 00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:56,280 Speaker 1: you'll be propelled by your words. James said here in 415 00:25:56,280 --> 00:26:01,240 Speaker 1: the scripture, just as a tiny rudder control a lordship, 416 00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:05,680 Speaker 1: so the tongue sets the direction for our life. Are 417 00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:08,920 Speaker 1: you going in the right direction? Are you seeing increase 418 00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:13,399 Speaker 1: favor new growth? If not, check up on what you're saying, 419 00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:16,440 Speaker 1: when you get your words going in the right direction, 420 00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:20,080 Speaker 1: your life will go in the right direction. Make this 421 00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:24,359 Speaker 1: decision with me. No more words of lack, defeat, can't 422 00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:29,040 Speaker 1: do it, mediocrity, doubt, don't curse your future, bless your future. 423 00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:34,359 Speaker 1: If you'll start prophesying victory, prophesying favor, I believe and 424 00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:39,040 Speaker 1: declare you're going to rise higher, overcome every obstacle, and 425 00:26:39,119 --> 00:26:43,200 Speaker 1: become everything God's created you to be in Jesus' name. 426 00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:46,640 Speaker 1: If you receive it, can you say it? Men?

Just say, Lord, Jesus, I'll 430 00:26:58,040 --> 00:27:02,920 Speaker 1: repent of my sins. Come into my heart. I make 431 00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:06,720 Speaker 1: you my lord and savior.
