He looked all around, didn't 50 00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:34,119 Speaker 5: see anything, thought he was dreaming. Heard it again, pick 51 00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:36,960 Speaker 5: me up. He looked down and saw a frog on 52 00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:40,240 Speaker 5: the ground. He said in amazement, are you talking to me? 53 00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:43,400 Speaker 5: The frog said yes, pick me up and kiss me, 54 00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:47,160 Speaker 5: and I'll turn into a beautiful bride. He quickly picked 55 00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:49,040 Speaker 5: the frog up and put him in his front pocket. 56 00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:51,480 Speaker 5: The frog said, hey, what are you doing. I said, 57 00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:54,440 Speaker 5: kiss me and I'll turn into a beautiful bride. The 58 00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:57,120 Speaker 5: man said, no, thanks. At my age, I'd rather have 59 00:02:57,200 --> 00:03:02,240 Speaker 5: a talking frog. Hold up your bible, say it like 60 00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:05,320 Speaker 5: you mean it. This is my Bible. I am what 61 00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:07,960 Speaker 5: it says. I am. I have what it says I have. 62 00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:11,160 Speaker 5: I can do what it says I can do. Today 63 00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:14,280 Speaker 5: I will be taught the word of God. I boldly 64 00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:18,600 Speaker 5: confess my mind is alert, my heart is receptive. I 65 00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:22,640 Speaker 5: will never be the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you. 66 00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:26,919 Speaker 5: I want to talk to you today about sensing the 67 00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:30,639 Speaker 5: good things. God has in store. When God laid out 68 00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:34,320 Speaker 5: the plans for our lives, he lined up the right people, 69 00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:38,960 Speaker 5: the right breaks, and the right opportunities. The scripture talks 70 00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:43,120 Speaker 5: about how time and chance will come together for every person. 71 00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:47,760 Speaker 5: That means there are moments of favor that God has 72 00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:52,000 Speaker 5: already released into your future. If you could pull back 73 00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:55,480 Speaker 5: the curtain and see your whole life, you would see 74 00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:59,160 Speaker 5: how God has already lined up the right breaks to 75 00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:03,560 Speaker 5: come across your pa. He's already arranged certain people to 76 00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:06,600 Speaker 5: be good to you. He's already picked out the right 77 00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:11,000 Speaker 5: husband or wife for you and your children. He's already 78 00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:15,720 Speaker 5: lined up solutions to problems you haven't even had. God 79 00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:21,120 Speaker 5: has it already released into your future. These moments of favor, 80 00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:24,960 Speaker 5: moments of blessing, moments of increase. They will help you 81 00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:30,839 Speaker 5: overcome obstacles, accomplish goals, and even thrust you years ahead. 82 00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:34,719 Speaker 5: But so often when we look in our future, we 83 00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:37,800 Speaker 5: don't see how will ever rise higher, how will ever 84 00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:41,599 Speaker 5: fulfill our destiny, how our child will ever get back 85 00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:44,719 Speaker 5: on the right track. The problem is we're only looking 86 00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:47,800 Speaker 5: at it in the natural. But the scripture says here 87 00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:51,720 Speaker 5: in Second Corinthians, we have to walk by faith and 88 00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:55,839 Speaker 5: not by sight. In other words, we have to believe 89 00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:59,039 Speaker 5: it before we're ever going to see it. If you 90 00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:02,000 Speaker 5: can see it, you don't need any faith. But when 91 00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:05,440 Speaker 5: it looks impossible and it seems like you've reached your 92 00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:09,240 Speaker 5: limits and you don't see how your health could ever improve, 93 00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:12,839 Speaker 5: instead of just going by what you see, if you 94 00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:16,200 Speaker 5: will listen down and hear in your heart, you will 95 00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:20,560 Speaker 5: hear God saying I have a way. Things are turning around, 96 00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:24,200 Speaker 5: a moment of favor is coming. I've already lined up 97 00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:27,000 Speaker 5: the solution. You may not be able to see it, 98 00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:30,039 Speaker 5: but in your heart you will sense that it's on 99 00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:34,560 Speaker 5: its way. I read something interesting about a tarantula. It 100 00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:38,159 Speaker 5: has eight eyes all around its body. But in spite 101 00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:41,640 Speaker 5: of these eyes, its vision is very poor. It can't 102 00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:44,800 Speaker 5: see far off and even up close. It's not sharp 103 00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:49,640 Speaker 5: and clear. But the tarantula is a very precise hunter. 104 00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:54,280 Speaker 5: It's known for its ability to attack and kill. How 105 00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:57,760 Speaker 5: can it be so accurate with its vision being so poor. 106 00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:03,159 Speaker 5: It's because it's legs are full of hairy follicles that 107 00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:08,440 Speaker 5: are extremely sensitive, and it can sense something coming long 108 00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:11,599 Speaker 5: before it gets there, even though it can't see well. 109 00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:16,039 Speaker 5: It's extremely perceptive. That's the way we need to be. 110 00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:19,640 Speaker 5: Sometimes when we look in our future, we don't see 111 00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:22,559 Speaker 5: anything good. We don't see how we'll get out of death. 112 00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:25,679 Speaker 5: We don't see how we'll have this far and beyond 113 00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:29,800 Speaker 5: decade that we're talking about. In the natural, it looks impossible, 114 00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:32,599 Speaker 5: just like it's gonna be more of the same. But 115 00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:38,000 Speaker 5: down in here, if we'll be perceptive, we will sense somehow, 116 00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:42,400 Speaker 5: some way it's gonna happen. Business may be slow, the 117 00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:45,640 Speaker 5: economy's down, But in spite of all of that, I 118 00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:49,720 Speaker 5: can sense increase is coming my way. I can sense 119 00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:53,040 Speaker 5: it's my decade of favor. I can sense my greatest 120 00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:56,080 Speaker 5: victories are still out in front of me. We used 121 00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:58,800 Speaker 5: to sing an old song growing up that says, I've 122 00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:02,799 Speaker 5: got a feeling everything's gonna be all right. In other words, 123 00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:05,960 Speaker 5: I can't explain. It doesn't make sense to my mind, 124 00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:10,400 Speaker 5: but I can sense moments of favor are coming my way. 125 00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:14,600 Speaker 5: My finances may be down, I'm not worried. I can 126 00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:18,800 Speaker 5: sense promotion is in my future. The medical report may 127 00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:21,680 Speaker 5: not look good. All the facts are telling me I'm 128 00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:24,840 Speaker 5: not gonna get well. I should get discouraged. I should 129 00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:28,640 Speaker 5: be depressed. But now I've got a feeling everything's gonna 130 00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:32,400 Speaker 5: be all right. See, I've learned sometimes you have to 131 00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:36,840 Speaker 5: turn your mind off. Sometimes there is no logical solution. 132 00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:41,920 Speaker 5: That's why the scripture says, lean not to your own understanding, 133 00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:45,920 Speaker 5: don't try to figure it all out. If you're constantly 134 00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:50,960 Speaker 5: running the numbers and over analyzing everything, reading the medical 135 00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:54,040 Speaker 5: report every other minute, and looking up your symptoms on 136 00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:58,360 Speaker 5: twenty four different websites, all that's gonna do is dull 137 00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:01,960 Speaker 5: your censor. Need to turn that off and listen down 138 00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:05,360 Speaker 5: in here. This is where God speaks. This is where 139 00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:08,720 Speaker 5: faith rises up. All of a sudden, you'll feel a 140 00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:12,680 Speaker 5: spark of hope. In the natural it looks impossible, but 141 00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:15,960 Speaker 5: you'll hear down and hear something saying God has a way. 142 00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:20,560 Speaker 5: Favor is in your future. Something good is about to happen. 143 00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:23,080 Speaker 5: God is going to turn it around. The breakthrough will 144 00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:25,680 Speaker 5: be here at any moment. That's what we have to 145 00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:29,680 Speaker 5: get in agreement with. Turn off the reasoning and listen 146 00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:31,520 Speaker 5: to what you're sensing down in here. 147 00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:32,280 Speaker 4: Now. 148 00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:34,400 Speaker 5: I know some of you have had some bad breaks, 149 00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:38,120 Speaker 5: a lot of disappointments, and the problem now is your 150 00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:42,439 Speaker 5: censor has become dull. In other words, you're not expecting 151 00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:46,839 Speaker 5: anything good. You're not living with enthusiasm. The good news 152 00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:50,959 Speaker 5: today is your censor is getting a tune up. God 153 00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:55,280 Speaker 5: is birth in new dreams, new life, new vision. New 154 00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:58,520 Speaker 5: seeds of hope are taken root in your heart. You 155 00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:02,480 Speaker 5: may be in difficult but God said in Exodus thirty 156 00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:06,760 Speaker 5: three fourteen, I will go with you. I will give 157 00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:11,320 Speaker 5: you rest. Everything will be fine for you. Let that 158 00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:15,920 Speaker 5: promise sink down into your heart. Everything will be fine, 159 00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:20,000 Speaker 5: not some things, not half of it, not ninety nine percent. No, 160 00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:23,720 Speaker 5: If you'll keep your trust in Him, everything is going 161 00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:26,560 Speaker 5: to be just fine for you. Some of you have 162 00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:30,520 Speaker 5: been through a great loss. You're very disappointed. Doesn't look 163 00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:33,480 Speaker 5: like you'll ever see bright days. But God is saying, 164 00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:37,080 Speaker 5: I have beauty for your ashes. I'm about to open 165 00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:40,040 Speaker 5: up a new door. Everything is going to be fine 166 00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:44,160 Speaker 5: for you. Maybe a relationship didn't work out, but that 167 00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:47,720 Speaker 5: is not the end. It's a new beginning. God has 168 00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:51,080 Speaker 5: someone else in your future. Everything is going to be 169 00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:54,240 Speaker 5: fine for you. Some of you just have a lot 170 00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:58,920 Speaker 5: on your plate. You're working hard, raising your children, taking 171 00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:02,520 Speaker 5: care of elderly parents. Doesn't look like it's ever gonna change. 172 00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:06,000 Speaker 5: God is saying, come back to that place of peace. 173 00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:09,360 Speaker 5: I want to give you rest. Everything is going to 174 00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:15,280 Speaker 5: be fine for you. Friends. Don't let stress, worry, negativity, discouragement, 175 00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:19,320 Speaker 5: dull your censor. Listen down in here. God is saying, 176 00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:22,800 Speaker 5: it's gonna be all right. I've got a moment of 177 00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:26,600 Speaker 5: favor coming. Things are about to turn around. The solution 178 00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:30,120 Speaker 5: is already lined up, The promotion is already on its way. 179 00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:33,959 Speaker 5: The breakthrough could happen at any moment. Now, we've got 180 00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:38,079 Speaker 5: to get in agreement with God. Circumstances may have us 181 00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:40,800 Speaker 5: down on the outside, but we've got to get up 182 00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:44,800 Speaker 5: on the inside. Our attitude should be My health may 183 00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:47,440 Speaker 5: be going down a little bit, but I've got a 184 00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:51,000 Speaker 5: feeling I'm coming back strong. May be a little stressful 185 00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:54,079 Speaker 5: at the office. I don't see how it's ever gonna change, 186 00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:56,680 Speaker 5: but I'm not worried. I walk by faith and not 187 00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:59,600 Speaker 5: by sight. I know a moment of favor is coming 188 00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:02,679 Speaker 5: my way. I can sense it. Everything is going to 189 00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:05,199 Speaker 5: be all right. This is what I had to do 190 00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:09,000 Speaker 5: when we were renovating. This facility. Cost about one hundred 191 00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:12,840 Speaker 5: million dollars to convert this from a basketball arena to 192 00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:16,480 Speaker 5: a worship facility. A bank loaned us part of the money. 193 00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:20,160 Speaker 5: Toward the end, we had a twenty million dollar payment 194 00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:23,800 Speaker 5: to make. It's a very critical time. The people, many 195 00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:26,720 Speaker 5: of you, had given so generously, and we had made 196 00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:30,440 Speaker 5: all of our other payments, but this final payment that 197 00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:33,200 Speaker 5: would take us out of the construction phase over into 198 00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:36,760 Speaker 5: the regular financing. We found that we were about fifteen 199 00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:40,200 Speaker 5: million dollars short. It was going to be due in 200 00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:44,240 Speaker 5: several months time. Our team ran all the numbers and 201 00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:49,360 Speaker 5: they calculated, projected, moved things around, but no matter what 202 00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:52,920 Speaker 5: we did, we were still millions and millions short. And 203 00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:55,640 Speaker 5: I'd put my name on the line, I'd given them 204 00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:58,760 Speaker 5: my word. And in the natural I should have been worried. 205 00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:02,440 Speaker 5: I should have been in sleep at night. My mind, 206 00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:05,120 Speaker 5: these thoughts were telling me that it's not gonna work out, 207 00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:07,120 Speaker 5: it's going to be a big mess, you're not even 208 00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:10,480 Speaker 5: gonna be able to move in all these discouraging thoughts 209 00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:13,560 Speaker 5: in my head. But down in here it was the 210 00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:17,640 Speaker 5: most amazing thing. I had an incredible peace. I could 211 00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:20,960 Speaker 5: sense it. Everything is going to be all right. God 212 00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:25,200 Speaker 5: is still on the throne, He's in complete control. I 213 00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:28,480 Speaker 5: couldn't make it work on paper, couldn't explain it. My 214 00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:31,559 Speaker 5: head was telling me no way, but my heart was 215 00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:35,760 Speaker 5: saying yes way. All through the day, instead of worrying, 216 00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:38,960 Speaker 5: I'd go around saying, Father, thank you that you're supplying 217 00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:42,120 Speaker 5: all of our needs. It was your goodness that gave 218 00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:44,960 Speaker 5: us this place, and it's your goodness that will take 219 00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:48,000 Speaker 5: care of us. At that time, the church owned a 220 00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:51,199 Speaker 5: television station that we had been trying to sell for 221 00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:54,840 Speaker 5: more than three years. The market was very down. No 222 00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:58,600 Speaker 5: one was buying independent stations. We were told the most 223 00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:00,400 Speaker 5: we could get for it if we did, I'd sell 224 00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:04,000 Speaker 5: it was eighteen to nineteen million dollars, and we owed 225 00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:06,600 Speaker 5: eight million dollars on it, so even if we were 226 00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:09,520 Speaker 5: to sell it, we would still come up short. But 227 00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:12,800 Speaker 5: just a few weeks before the big payment was due, 228 00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:16,680 Speaker 5: a buyer for the station came along. Things fell into place, 229 00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:20,440 Speaker 5: and he bought it. Not for eighteen million, not for nineteen, 230 00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:23,160 Speaker 5: not for twenty, not for twenty five, not for twenty eight, 231 00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:26,080 Speaker 5: not for thirty. He bought it for thirty two million dollars. 232 00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:28,839 Speaker 5: We were able to make that payment, and we've been 233 00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:33,319 Speaker 5: going strong ever since that was a moment of favor 234 00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:37,280 Speaker 5: that God had already released into my future. All I 235 00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:40,040 Speaker 5: had to do was believe. All I had to do 236 00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:43,960 Speaker 5: was stay in faith and not let doubt and unbelieve 237 00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:48,880 Speaker 5: stop or delay what God had already lined up. Friends, 238 00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:52,960 Speaker 5: God has already lined up solutions for every problem you 239 00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:57,160 Speaker 5: will ever have. He's already lined up the people, the breaks, 240 00:13:57,360 --> 00:14:01,920 Speaker 5: the finances, the opportunity, the wisdom, the ideas. You don't 241 00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:05,160 Speaker 5: have to live life worried. You don't have to go 242 00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:08,280 Speaker 5: around frustrated because it's not happening as fast as you 243 00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:11,040 Speaker 5: would like. No, come back to that place of peace, 244 00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:15,080 Speaker 5: stay at rest, knowing that it's on its way. I 245 00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:18,400 Speaker 5: love what the prophet Elijah did. There had been a 246 00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:21,640 Speaker 5: great drought in the land for three and a half years. 247 00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:24,920 Speaker 5: The people were in desperate need of water. One day 248 00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:29,280 Speaker 5: Elijah said to King Ahab, I hear the sound of 249 00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:33,080 Speaker 5: the abundance of rain. The fact is, when he said it, 250 00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:37,000 Speaker 5: there wasn't a cloud in the sky, no sign of rain, 251 00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:41,520 Speaker 5: no thunder. Yet he could sense something coming before it 252 00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:45,680 Speaker 5: got there. I'm sure Ahab thought, the heat is getting 253 00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:49,200 Speaker 5: to this old man. There's no rain, there's no thunder. 254 00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:52,040 Speaker 5: Why is he talking like this. No, Elijah didn't hear 255 00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:55,200 Speaker 5: it physically. He heard it down in here, and he 256 00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:59,240 Speaker 5: was bold enough to announce it. That's why I'm always 257 00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:02,880 Speaker 5: announcing the you what I sense in my spirit, and 258 00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:08,680 Speaker 5: I sense and exceedingly abundantly above and beyond decade of 259 00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:13,560 Speaker 5: God's favor for you. I can sense God is about 260 00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:16,520 Speaker 5: to open up doors for you bigger than you've ever 261 00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:20,000 Speaker 5: dreamed of. I can sense you're about to see the 262 00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:24,040 Speaker 5: breakthroughs that you've been praying about. I can sense the 263 00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:27,400 Speaker 5: promises you've been standing on are about to come to pass. 264 00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:31,720 Speaker 5: Like Elijah, the sound I hear over you is the 265 00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:37,200 Speaker 5: sound of abundance, abundance of favor, abundance of health, abundance 266 00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:41,440 Speaker 5: of good breaks, abundance of wisdom, abundance in your finances. 267 00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:45,000 Speaker 5: I hear the sound of an abundance of victory over 268 00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:48,560 Speaker 5: each one of you. And even though Elijah couldn't see 269 00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:51,600 Speaker 5: any sight of rain, he could sense that it was coming. 270 00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:54,560 Speaker 5: If you read the story, it was in any time 271 00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:58,200 Speaker 5: before the heavens opened up, the rains came pouring down, 272 00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:00,600 Speaker 5: and the three and a half year drought was ended. 273 00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:03,800 Speaker 5: Some of you today may feel like you've been in 274 00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:08,000 Speaker 5: a drought in your finances, your career, your health, your family. 275 00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:11,320 Speaker 5: But God is saying to you what he said to Elijah. 276 00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:14,120 Speaker 5: I'm about to do a new thing. I'm about to 277 00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:17,720 Speaker 5: open up the windows of heaven. I'm about to release 278 00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:21,600 Speaker 5: a moment of favor that I already have in your future. 279 00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:25,040 Speaker 5: Now you need to do your part and start expecting 280 00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:29,200 Speaker 5: it and declaring it. You may be struggling in your finances, 281 00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:32,280 Speaker 5: but don't go around with a poor mouth. Your report 282 00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:35,720 Speaker 5: should be I can hear the sound of abundance. I 283 00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:39,560 Speaker 5: know promotion and increase are coming my way. You may 284 00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:42,840 Speaker 5: be struggling in your health, but your report should be 285 00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:46,640 Speaker 5: I'm getting better and better. God is restoring health. Unto me, 286 00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:50,680 Speaker 5: my youth is being renewed like the egos. Now, when 287 00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:53,400 Speaker 5: you do that, other people may look at you like 288 00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:56,800 Speaker 5: Ahab looked at Elijah and think, why are they talking 289 00:16:56,920 --> 00:17:00,520 Speaker 5: like that. They're not healthy, they're not blessed, they're not prospers. No, 290 00:17:00,560 --> 00:17:03,520 Speaker 5: don't worry about it. They can't hear the sound, they 291 00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:06,760 Speaker 5: can't sense what you're sensing. They're just looking at it 292 00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:10,880 Speaker 5: in the natural. But like Elijah, you can sense something 293 00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:14,879 Speaker 5: great is coming long before it gets here. This is 294 00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:17,520 Speaker 5: what a young lady in the scripture did. Her name 295 00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:20,600 Speaker 5: was Ruth. Her husband had been killed in a battle. 296 00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:23,680 Speaker 5: Now she was living with her mother in law. Every 297 00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:26,480 Speaker 5: morning she would go out in the fields and pick 298 00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:30,440 Speaker 5: up the leftover wheat that the reapers had missed. I'm 299 00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:34,040 Speaker 5: sure Ruth was tempted to be discouraged. She'd gone through 300 00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:39,200 Speaker 5: this great tragedy. Her heart was broken, her dreams were shattered. 301 00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:42,239 Speaker 5: She could have easily just given up on life and 302 00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:46,119 Speaker 5: settled where she was. But I can imagine down deep, 303 00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:49,879 Speaker 5: Ruth had this same promise in her heart. Everything is 304 00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:53,320 Speaker 5: gonna be all right. I can't explain. It doesn't make 305 00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:56,080 Speaker 5: sense to my mind. I know I should be depressed, 306 00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:59,520 Speaker 5: I shouldn't be hopeful, but I can sense it something 307 00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:03,480 Speaker 5: great is still in my future. The man that owned 308 00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:07,400 Speaker 5: all those fields was named Boaz. One morning he saw 309 00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:10,600 Speaker 5: Ruth out there working. He had never met her, never 310 00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:14,199 Speaker 5: talked to her, but he said to his workers, I 311 00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:17,720 Speaker 5: want you to leave extra wheat on the ground on purpose, 312 00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:21,679 Speaker 5: to make it easier on that young lady. Notice he 313 00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:26,320 Speaker 5: didn't talk to her, he talked about her. Ruth never 314 00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:29,360 Speaker 5: heard what he said, But all of a sudden, her 315 00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:32,800 Speaker 5: life got much easier. She had more wheat than she 316 00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:35,960 Speaker 5: could handle. She got done in half the amount of time, 317 00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:40,439 Speaker 5: all because somebody she didn't even know put in a 318 00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:44,399 Speaker 5: good word for her. Here's my point. God has already 319 00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:48,159 Speaker 5: spoken to the right people to be good to you. 320 00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:51,320 Speaker 5: You may not ever even hear it, you may not 321 00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:55,160 Speaker 5: ever know them. But just like Ruth, as you're being 322 00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:58,720 Speaker 5: your best each day, as you're honoring God, you are 323 00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:01,080 Speaker 5: going to come in to bless you that you've never 324 00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:05,120 Speaker 5: seen before. Blessings that you can't explain. You're gonna get 325 00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:08,280 Speaker 5: breaks that you didn't deserve. People are gonna go out 326 00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:11,560 Speaker 5: of their way to help further your dreams. That's a 327 00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:15,720 Speaker 5: moment of favor that God has already lined up. This 328 00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:18,560 Speaker 5: tells me we don't have to play up to people 329 00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:21,399 Speaker 5: to try to win their friendship. We don't have to 330 00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:24,760 Speaker 5: try to manipulate things and try to win somebody over 331 00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:28,040 Speaker 5: gain their favor. No, listen, God will give you favor 332 00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:31,520 Speaker 5: with who you're supposed to have favor with. If somebody 333 00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:34,560 Speaker 5: doesn't want to be your friend, don't worry about it. 334 00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:38,320 Speaker 5: If a door closes, don't get discouraged. Just keep being 335 00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:41,240 Speaker 5: your best every day and God will speak to the 336 00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:45,000 Speaker 5: right people, the people that matter to your divine destiny. 337 00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:48,720 Speaker 5: He'll cause them to be good to you. I have 338 00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:51,119 Speaker 5: a friend that I've known for a long time, and 339 00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:53,920 Speaker 5: he's always had a dream to own his own business. 340 00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:57,639 Speaker 5: Year after year, he's been faithful right where he is 341 00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:00,960 Speaker 5: in the position that he's had, just being his best, 342 00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:05,280 Speaker 5: and he's always being good to somebody, not just encouraging them, 343 00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:07,359 Speaker 5: but he'll go over to their house at night and 344 00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:10,199 Speaker 5: fix something for him or give somebody a ride to 345 00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:13,280 Speaker 5: the airport. He just got a giving spirit. In a 346 00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:15,639 Speaker 5: while back, a man that he had known for some 347 00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:18,600 Speaker 5: time asked him to go to dinner. He thought they 348 00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:20,960 Speaker 5: were just going to catch up on old times, but 349 00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:24,800 Speaker 5: this man brought a proposal to start a new business. 350 00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:28,720 Speaker 5: This man already owns a very successful company, but he 351 00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:32,000 Speaker 5: wanted to start something new. My friend thought that he 352 00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:34,680 Speaker 5: just wanted to get his advice about it, maybe get 353 00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:37,439 Speaker 5: some encouragement. But he said, no, I don't want just that. 354 00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:40,320 Speaker 5: I want you to be my partner and we will 355 00:20:40,359 --> 00:20:43,720 Speaker 5: split it fifty to fifty. My friend was really thrilled. 356 00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:45,960 Speaker 5: He said, man I'd love to do that, but I 357 00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:48,120 Speaker 5: don't have the funds like you do. I can't put 358 00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:51,200 Speaker 5: in fifty percent like you can. The man said, don't 359 00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:53,760 Speaker 5: worry about it. I don't need your funds. That's taken 360 00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:56,920 Speaker 5: care of. I just want to bless you because you've 361 00:20:56,920 --> 00:21:01,480 Speaker 5: always been so good to me. Now owns fifty percent 362 00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:04,560 Speaker 5: of a growing business. His dream has come to pass. 363 00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:07,879 Speaker 5: What was that He walked in to a moment of 364 00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:12,080 Speaker 5: favor that God had already lined up for him. That 365 00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:17,320 Speaker 5: business was dropped in his lap, Just like those workers 366 00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:20,920 Speaker 5: were told to leave extra wheat on purpose for Ruth. 367 00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:25,760 Speaker 5: He walked into an incredible opportunity that God had already 368 00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:29,760 Speaker 5: spoken to somebody to leave for him. Friends, God has 369 00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:32,359 Speaker 5: done the same thing for each one of you. He 370 00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:35,320 Speaker 5: has doors that he's going to open that are going 371 00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:38,680 Speaker 5: to amaze you. He has opportunity he's going to bring 372 00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:42,719 Speaker 5: across your path that's greater than you can imagine. Some 373 00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:45,400 Speaker 5: of you kind of think that you've reached your limits 374 00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:49,560 Speaker 5: and you could never accomplish your dreams. Never pay off 375 00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:53,040 Speaker 5: your house, never leave anything for your children. No, you 376 00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:57,560 Speaker 5: don't know what God has already spoken over you. You don't 377 00:21:57,600 --> 00:22:01,720 Speaker 5: know the incredible things God has come your way. One 378 00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:05,240 Speaker 5: verse talks about how when you stay faithful to honor 379 00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:08,639 Speaker 5: God and be your very best each day, it says, 380 00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:14,040 Speaker 5: then payday is coming. Friends. God rewards the people that 381 00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:17,439 Speaker 5: seek after him. Many of you have been faithful, You 382 00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:21,200 Speaker 5: have given, you have served. God is saying your payday 383 00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:24,600 Speaker 5: is on its way. He is about to release a 384 00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:27,960 Speaker 5: moment of favor that he already has in your future. 385 00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:31,440 Speaker 5: All God has to do is speak to one person, 386 00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:35,240 Speaker 5: and your whole life can change for the better. I 387 00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:39,080 Speaker 5: think about how when we were trying to acquire this facility, 388 00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:42,560 Speaker 5: the former Compact Center, we needed ten votes from the 389 00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:45,520 Speaker 5: city council members. We had worked on this for over 390 00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:48,760 Speaker 5: three years. Up to the last week. We had the 391 00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:52,439 Speaker 5: ten votes, but then one of the council members changed 392 00:22:52,440 --> 00:22:55,840 Speaker 5: his mind and decided to be out of town. Him 393 00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:58,600 Speaker 5: not being there was just like a vote against us. 394 00:22:58,760 --> 00:23:03,040 Speaker 5: We needed his vote. We were so discouraged, so disappointed. 395 00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:05,480 Speaker 5: Looked like all of our work had just gone down 396 00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:09,600 Speaker 5: the drain. But we got word the night before the 397 00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:14,119 Speaker 5: main vote that a young Jewish council member changed his 398 00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:17,280 Speaker 5: mind and was going to vote for us. We couldn't 399 00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:20,800 Speaker 5: believe it. We had worked on him for over two years. 400 00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:23,440 Speaker 5: I had done my best to try to convince him 401 00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:26,520 Speaker 5: to persuade him, but I could never do it. After 402 00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:29,400 Speaker 5: the vote and we got the facility, I asked him 403 00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:33,000 Speaker 5: what it was that changed his mind. He told how 404 00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:36,359 Speaker 5: he got a call from a long lost friend of 405 00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:39,080 Speaker 5: his that he hadn't spoken to in years and years. 406 00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:42,679 Speaker 5: She was an elderly Jewish lady that he had a 407 00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:46,679 Speaker 5: great deal of respect for. He said. She told me 408 00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:50,400 Speaker 5: in no uncertain terms that I was to vote for 409 00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:53,840 Speaker 5: your church. And it was that one phone call, that 410 00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:58,520 Speaker 5: one lady that changed my mind. The funny thing is, 411 00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:01,800 Speaker 5: I don't know who that was. Lady was. I've never 412 00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:04,399 Speaker 5: met her, I never asked her to call. You know 413 00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:08,239 Speaker 5: what she was? She was our boass. God did for 414 00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:12,040 Speaker 5: us what we couldn't do for ourselves. God calls somebody 415 00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:15,119 Speaker 5: we didn't even know to put in a good word 416 00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:18,760 Speaker 5: for us, and here we are today. Friends. God knows 417 00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:21,720 Speaker 5: who he needs to influence to get you to where 418 00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:24,399 Speaker 5: you're supposed to be. You may not be able to 419 00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:26,480 Speaker 5: persuade them, they may not want to be your friend. 420 00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:29,200 Speaker 5: Don't worry about it. God will speak to the right 421 00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:31,760 Speaker 5: people that can make a difference. He's got it all 422 00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:35,720 Speaker 5: lined up. But some of you little frustrated because you're 423 00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:38,480 Speaker 5: trying to make it happen on your own, trying to 424 00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:41,480 Speaker 5: convince somebody to like you, trying to impress them. No, listen, 425 00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:44,240 Speaker 5: just do your best and let God take care of 426 00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:47,080 Speaker 5: the rest. Do what you can do, and then trust 427 00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:49,919 Speaker 5: God to do what you can't do. You have no 428 00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:53,879 Speaker 5: idea the amazing things that God has spoken over your life, 429 00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:58,200 Speaker 5: the incredible doors he's going to open. He has opportunity 430 00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:00,960 Speaker 5: and promotion that he's going to to bring across your 431 00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:04,480 Speaker 5: path that's greater than you've ever imagined. I think about 432 00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:08,560 Speaker 5: how one young lady from the New York Yankee Baseball 433 00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:12,679 Speaker 5: Organization really liked our ministry. She had been to some 434 00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:15,439 Speaker 5: of our Nights of Hope, and she invited us to 435 00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:19,480 Speaker 5: come and open up the New Yankee Ballpark. She was 436 00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:22,520 Speaker 5: not in the top management. She had to go through 437 00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:26,000 Speaker 5: level after level after level. It could have been stopped 438 00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:28,919 Speaker 5: at any point. They could have come up with plenty 439 00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:32,160 Speaker 5: of reasons not to do it. Hey, it's just too new. 440 00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:34,600 Speaker 5: We don't want anybody on the field. We've got too 441 00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:38,000 Speaker 5: many bugs to work out. There were plenty of excuses 442 00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:41,760 Speaker 5: they could have found, but listen, when God wants something done, 443 00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:45,320 Speaker 5: it's gonna get done. No person can stand against him. 444 00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:51,399 Speaker 5: She got approval after approval after approval. Things fell into place. 445 00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:54,000 Speaker 5: You know how last April we opened up the new 446 00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:58,760 Speaker 5: Yankee Stadium all because God spoke to one young lady. 447 00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:03,360 Speaker 5: God gave her a desire to be good to us, 448 00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:07,200 Speaker 5: and she opened a door bigger than we've ever even imagined. 449 00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:10,720 Speaker 5: That was another moment of favor that God had already 450 00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:14,560 Speaker 5: released into our future. And in the coming days, God 451 00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:17,439 Speaker 5: is going to give you favor with the right people. 452 00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:21,080 Speaker 5: You don't need favor with everyone. You just need favor 453 00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:24,000 Speaker 5: with the right one. It doesn't matter how high they 454 00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:28,080 Speaker 5: are or how low they are. All that matters is 455 00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:32,000 Speaker 5: God has ordained them to be good to you. He's 456 00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:34,440 Speaker 5: going to speak to people about you that you don't 457 00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:36,359 Speaker 5: even know about. That's going to give you a new 458 00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:40,480 Speaker 5: level of influence. Don't be surprised when doors open bigger 459 00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:43,600 Speaker 5: than you've ever imagined. That's God moving on a boass. 460 00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:47,000 Speaker 5: Don't be surprised when you get breaks that you didn't 461 00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:50,960 Speaker 5: really deserve. Somewhere, God spoke to somebody to be good 462 00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:53,440 Speaker 5: to you. I want you to go into this new 463 00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:57,200 Speaker 5: decade not just excited about your future, but I want 464 00:26:57,240 --> 00:27:01,399 Speaker 5: you to start sensing what's coming to activate your faith. 465 00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:05,320 Speaker 5: Our attitude should be. I can sense it. Something good 466 00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:07,840 Speaker 5: is about to happen. I can sense it. Things are 467 00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:11,280 Speaker 5: changing in my favor in the natural. It may not 468 00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:13,960 Speaker 5: look like it. I can't see it, but I can 469 00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:17,160 Speaker 5: sense it. I walk by faith and not by sight. 470 00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:21,359 Speaker 5: When you do that, your faith is being released. I 471 00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:24,000 Speaker 5: just want to declare this over every one of you. 472 00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:27,200 Speaker 5: You've been faithful. You need to get ready. Your payday 473 00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:30,600 Speaker 5: is coming. You're about to walk into a moment of 474 00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:34,960 Speaker 5: favor that God has already released into your future. God 475 00:27:35,040 --> 00:27:37,720 Speaker 5: is going to take you places that you've never imagined. 476 00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:41,000 Speaker 5: He is opening up doors that no man can shut. 477 00:27:41,320 --> 00:27:45,160 Speaker 5: He has already spoken to the right people about you. 478 00:27:45,119 --> 00:27:47,760 Speaker 5: You're going to come into these blessings that you didn't 479 00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:50,639 Speaker 5: even have to struggle for. You're going to get promoted 480 00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:54,199 Speaker 5: even though you were not the most qualified. God's face 481 00:27:54,440 --> 00:27:57,600 Speaker 5: is shining down on you. This is what the scripture says. 482 00:27:57,960 --> 00:28:00,440 Speaker 5: God is going to give you houses that you didn't 483 00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:04,560 Speaker 5: have to build, vineyards, that you didn't plan wells, that 484 00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:07,840 Speaker 5: you didn't have to dig. That's the goodness of God. 485 00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:16,000 Speaker 5: I've seen it in my own life. Now I know 486 00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:18,320 Speaker 5: if God did it for me, if he did it 487 00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:21,639 Speaker 5: for Ruth, he wants to do it for you. Now. 488 00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:24,040 Speaker 5: I don't know about you, but I can sense this 489 00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:28,080 Speaker 5: is going to be a decade of exceedingly abundantly above 490 00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:34,080 Speaker 5: and beyond favor. I can sense that things are accelerating. 491 00:28:34,760 --> 00:28:39,000 Speaker 5: God is about to shift you higher, thrust you faster 492 00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:42,360 Speaker 5: than you ever even imagine. I can hear the sound 493 00:28:42,480 --> 00:28:47,360 Speaker 5: of abundance, the sound of good breaks, the sound of healing, 494 00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:52,200 Speaker 5: the sound of promotion, the sound of victory over our lives. 495 00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:55,920 Speaker 5: I'm asking you today to get your censor going in 496 00:28:55,960 --> 00:29:00,280 Speaker 5: the right direction. Get up every morning expecting God's goodness, 497 00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:05,440 Speaker 5: expecting breakthroughs, expecting to accomplish your goals.
