1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:02,160
Speaker 1: Hi, this is Joel and Victoria.

2
00:00:02,240 --> 00:00:05,279
Speaker 2: Thanks for listening to our podcast and thanks for supporting

3
00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:05,920
Speaker 2: the ministry.

4
00:00:06,120 --> 00:00:08,440
Speaker 3: If you enjoy today's message, why don't you be a

5
00:00:08,440 --> 00:00:09,560
Speaker 3: blessing and share it.

6
00:00:09,440 --> 00:00:12,559
Speaker 2: With a friend, reappreciate you, and pray for God's very

7
00:00:12,640 --> 00:00:13,720
Speaker 2: best in your life.

8
00:00:13,880 --> 00:00:14,760
Speaker 1: Well, God bless you.

9
00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:17,760
Speaker 2: It's a joy to come into your homes, and if

10
00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:20,479
Speaker 2: you're ever in our area, please stop by and be

11
00:00:20,520 --> 00:00:23,279
Speaker 2: a part of one of our services. I promise you

12
00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:26,079
Speaker 2: we'll make you feel right at home. I like to

13
00:00:26,079 --> 00:00:29,240
Speaker 2: start with something funny, and I heard about this elderly lady.

14
00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:32,879
Speaker 2: She was at the store. She accidentally locked her keys

15
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:35,800
Speaker 2: in the car. She had a coat hanger. She was

16
00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:37,919
Speaker 2: trying and trying to get it unlocked, but she just

17
00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:41,519
Speaker 2: couldn't get it open. She prayed and asked God to

18
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:44,680
Speaker 2: help her. About that time, this guy pulls up on

19
00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:49,440
Speaker 2: a motorcycle, rough looking, dressed in leather, tattoos, a skull cap.

20
00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:51,920
Speaker 1: Fifteen seconds he had the car open.

21
00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:55,160
Speaker 2: She hugged him and said, Lord, thank you for sending

22
00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:57,960
Speaker 2: me this nice man. He said, Lady, I'm not a

23
00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:00,360
Speaker 2: nice man. I just got out of prison and for

24
00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:04,560
Speaker 2: auto theft. She hugged him again and said, Lord, thank you.

25
00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:08,960
Speaker 2: You even sent me a professional who say it like

26
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:11,880
Speaker 2: you mean it. This is my Bible. I am what

27
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:14,600
Speaker 2: it says I am. I have what it says I have.

28
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:17,680
Speaker 2: I can do what it says I can do. Today

29
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:21,200
Speaker 2: I will be taught the word of God. I boldly confess.

30
00:01:21,600 --> 00:01:25,039
Speaker 2: My mind is alert, my heart is receptive. I will

31
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:28,880
Speaker 2: never be the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you.

32
00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:32,560
Speaker 2: I want to talk to you today about God has

33
00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:37,039
Speaker 2: the final say. We all face situations that look permanent,

34
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:40,039
Speaker 2: like they're never going to work out. It's easy to

35
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:43,080
Speaker 2: get discouraged and accept that it wasn't meant to be.

36
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:47,480
Speaker 2: But it's not over until God says it's over. The

37
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:51,440
Speaker 2: medical report may not look good, but that sickness doesn't

38
00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:52,480
Speaker 2: have the last word.

39
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:55,280
Speaker 1: God has the final say.

40
00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:58,480
Speaker 2: You may have struggled with an addiction for years, but

41
00:01:58,600 --> 00:01:59,640
Speaker 2: the addiction.

42
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:01,760
Speaker 1: Doesn't have the final say.

43
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 2: People may be against you, you have opposition, but people

44
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:07,280
Speaker 2: don't have the final say.

45
00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:08,960
Speaker 1: No disrespect.

46
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 2: But the doctor, the banker, the lawyer, the expert, the judge.

47
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:16,640
Speaker 2: They may be good people, but they're not on the throne.

48
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:20,560
Speaker 2: God is on the throne, him being for you is

49
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 2: more than the world being against you. God won't let

50
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:26,600
Speaker 2: you get in a problem that he can't get you

51
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:30,400
Speaker 2: out of. He wouldn't have let the three Hebrew teenagers

52
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 2: be thrown into a furnace if he didn't know the

53
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:38,480
Speaker 2: fire wasn't going to harm them. King Nebukinezzar thought he

54
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:41,399
Speaker 2: was in control. He thought he had the final say

55
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:44,800
Speaker 2: that the fire would finish them off. That's what always happened.

56
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:49,160
Speaker 2: But this time he wasn't dealing with ordinary people. He

57
00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:52,000
Speaker 2: was dealing with children of the Most High God.

58
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:55,120
Speaker 1: They came out without the smell of smoke.

59
00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:59,760
Speaker 2: There's something about you that makes you unstoppable.

60
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 1: You have an advantage.

61
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:04,959
Speaker 2: God not only breathed life into you, but he put

62
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:05,840
Speaker 2: a hedge of.

63
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:07,800
Speaker 1: Protection around you.

64
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:12,400
Speaker 2: Nothing can touch you without his permission. You're not at

65
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:16,600
Speaker 2: the mercy of bad breaks, sicknesses, accidents, people against you.

66
00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:19,760
Speaker 1: None of that can stop your destiny.

67
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 2: Well, if I can get this supervisor to like me,

68
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:24,200
Speaker 2: maybe I'll get the promotion.

69
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:25,200
Speaker 1: Now.

70
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:27,800
Speaker 2: You don't have to play up to people when you

71
00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:32,120
Speaker 2: go to work, be your best, let your talent shine. Then,

72
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:34,920
Speaker 2: when it's time for you to be promoted, all the

73
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 2: forces of darkness cannot.

74
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:40,000
Speaker 1: Hold you back. Well, my boss doesn't like me.

75
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:43,720
Speaker 2: Your boss doesn't have the final saying. They are a

76
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:47,440
Speaker 2: pawn in the hands of God. You are not doing

77
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:52,240
Speaker 2: life by yourself. God is behind the scenes, pulling streams

78
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:57,120
Speaker 2: orchestrating things in your favor. At the right time, God

79
00:03:57,200 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 2: will either cause that person to like you or move

80
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:03,400
Speaker 2: them out of the way. But they cannot stop your purpose.

81
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:06,560
Speaker 2: And when you know that God has the final say,

82
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:11,520
Speaker 2: you don't live frustrated trying to manipulate people. Worried about

83
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 2: your children. You stay in peace, knowing that nothing.

84
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:16,760
Speaker 1: Can stop God's plan.

85
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:21,480
Speaker 2: When the prophet Samuel came to Jesse's house to choose

86
00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:24,279
Speaker 2: one of his sons as the next king of Israel,

87
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:28,480
Speaker 2: Jesse lined up seven of his sons said all right, Samuel,

88
00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:32,160
Speaker 2: take your pick. He didn't bother to bring his youngest son,

89
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:36,479
Speaker 2: David in from the shepherd's fields. He had already ruled

90
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:40,680
Speaker 2: him out. Thought he's too young, too small, not talented.

91
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:42,480
Speaker 1: David's not king material.

92
00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:47,120
Speaker 2: If people had the final say, this would be a problem.

93
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:50,560
Speaker 2: If people determined our destiny, we would have never heard

94
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:51,359
Speaker 2: of David.

95
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:53,280
Speaker 1: When people leave.

96
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:56,400
Speaker 2: You out, it may hurt, but that doesn't stop your purpose.

97
00:04:57,080 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 2: Samuel said, Jesse, I don't see a king in these sons.

98
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:02,000
Speaker 2: Do you have any other sons?

99
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:03,960
Speaker 1: This shows us.

100
00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:07,479
Speaker 2: That what God has for you won't go to anyone else.

101
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:11,560
Speaker 2: People may try to manipulate things, discredit you.

102
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:13,280
Speaker 1: Leave you out. Don't worry.

103
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:17,320
Speaker 2: God is on the throne. He's pulling the strings. He

104
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:20,279
Speaker 2: knew who wasn't going to like you, who was going

105
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:22,760
Speaker 2: to try to push you down. You don't have to

106
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:25,760
Speaker 2: try to get even stay on the high road, and

107
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:28,240
Speaker 2: what has your name on it will come to you.

108
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:32,240
Speaker 2: Jesse sent word for David to come into the house.

109
00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:35,880
Speaker 2: When Samuel saw him, first thing, he said, there's the

110
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:37,239
Speaker 2: next king of Israel.

111
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:40,400
Speaker 1: God doesn't choose the way we choose.

112
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:44,920
Speaker 2: We look on the outside, the size, the talent, the personality.

113
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:46,440
Speaker 1: God looks at the heart.

114
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:50,600
Speaker 2: People may have counted you out, but God has already

115
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:55,360
Speaker 2: counted you in. He overrides what people say, He overrides

116
00:05:55,400 --> 00:06:00,960
Speaker 2: the injustice. Well, Joel, I'm in an unfair situation. Nothing's changing,

117
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:04,839
Speaker 2: it's not over yet. That's not how your story ends.

118
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:08,719
Speaker 2: Your time is coming. Like with David, You're going to

119
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:13,040
Speaker 2: be called into the house. God has not forgotten about you.

120
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:17,360
Speaker 2: What He's promised is still on the way. Bad breaks

121
00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:21,360
Speaker 2: didn't stop it, people didn't cancel it. Delays doesn't mean

122
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:24,760
Speaker 2: it's not going to happen. What God started, he's.

123
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:27,760
Speaker 1: Going to finish. He has the final say.

124
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:30,640
Speaker 2: Now, don't go around talking about how it's not going

125
00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:33,200
Speaker 2: to happen, and this illness is going to be the

126
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:36,200
Speaker 2: end of me and I'll never accomplish my dreams.

127
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:37,560
Speaker 1: You know what you're doing.

128
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:42,159
Speaker 2: You're putting your circumstances on the throne. You're saying they

129
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:46,159
Speaker 2: have the final say, they control my destiny. You need

130
00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:49,680
Speaker 2: to take the problem off the throne and put God

131
00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:54,599
Speaker 2: back on the throne. God is sovereign over your circumstances.

132
00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:59,280
Speaker 2: That means God reigns over everything in your life, not

133
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:03,240
Speaker 2: just over the universe. He rains over the sickness, He

134
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:06,159
Speaker 2: rains over your children, over your finances.

135
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:08,520
Speaker 1: One Peter three says.

136
00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:13,920
Speaker 2: Jesus has the last word on everything and everyone, from

137
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:18,560
Speaker 2: angels to armies. He's standing right alongside God, and what

138
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:22,760
Speaker 2: he says goes Now. You may be dealing with the sickness.

139
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:25,480
Speaker 2: The medical report says you're not going to make it.

140
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:31,040
Speaker 2: That's one word, But God has the last word, The sovereign.

141
00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:32,320
Speaker 1: God, the God who.

142
00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:35,560
Speaker 2: Reigns, says, I am restoring health back unto you.

143
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:38,360
Speaker 1: Now keep God on the throne.

144
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:42,560
Speaker 2: When thoughts tell you you'll never get well, just say no thanks.

145
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:47,160
Speaker 2: I know a secret. My God has the last saying sickness.

146
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:49,600
Speaker 2: You may have a say in justice, you may have

147
00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:53,040
Speaker 2: a say, but I have bad news. What you say

148
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:56,800
Speaker 2: is subject to the God who created me. What you

149
00:07:56,960 --> 00:08:01,400
Speaker 2: say is overruled by the most time. He has the

150
00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:07,120
Speaker 2: final say on everyone and everything. God promised Abraham and

151
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:10,000
Speaker 2: Sarah that they were going to have a baby, but

152
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:13,840
Speaker 2: they were both way too old. Abraham was in his eighties,

153
00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:17,080
Speaker 2: Sarah had gone through the change of life. There was

154
00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:19,640
Speaker 2: no way in the natural for them to have a child.

155
00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:24,320
Speaker 2: Sometimes God will put things in our heart that don't.

156
00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:25,440
Speaker 1: Make sense to our mind.

157
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:29,000
Speaker 2: It's easy to dismiss it and think, well, that'll never happen.

158
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:34,520
Speaker 2: The scripture says Abraham considered not the weakness of his

159
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:39,240
Speaker 2: own body, nor the deadness of Sarah's womb. He didn't

160
00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:43,560
Speaker 2: deny that Sarah's womb was dead. He didn't ignore the facts.

161
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:46,280
Speaker 1: He just chose not to dwell on them.

162
00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:50,000
Speaker 2: He didn't go around talking about how impossible it was.

163
00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:53,000
Speaker 2: If you're going to stay in faith, you have to

164
00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:58,120
Speaker 2: do like Abraham and not consider what looks dead. Don't

165
00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:02,160
Speaker 2: dwell on what seems impossible. Are you spending more time

166
00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:04,360
Speaker 2: thinking about the problem.

167
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:05,240
Speaker 1: Or the promises?

168
00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:08,360
Speaker 2: Are you talking more about how big the challenge is

169
00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:09,520
Speaker 2: or about how.

170
00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:10,360
Speaker 1: Big your God is.

171
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:14,960
Speaker 2: When we received word that the Rockets basketball team was

172
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:18,040
Speaker 2: moving out of this building, the former Compact Center, and

173
00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:21,400
Speaker 2: it was going to be for sale, something came alive

174
00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:24,680
Speaker 2: on the inside. I knew God put that promise in

175
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:28,960
Speaker 2: my heart. But like Abraham, all the odds were against us.

176
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:31,960
Speaker 2: We didn't have the finances, didn't.

177
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:32,679
Speaker 1: Have the experience.

178
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:37,439
Speaker 2: Necessarily, the people that wanted the building were a huge

179
00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:41,600
Speaker 2: real estate company, one of the largest taxpayers in Texas.

180
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:46,319
Speaker 2: But instead of focusing on how impossible it was, Victoria

181
00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:49,160
Speaker 2: and I would come up at night when the Rockets

182
00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:53,000
Speaker 2: weren't playing, nobody was around. We would walk around the

183
00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:56,640
Speaker 2: outside of the building and thank God that it was ours,

184
00:09:56,720 --> 00:10:00,080
Speaker 2: and thank Him that he was fighting our battles, if

185
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:01,320
Speaker 2: he was making a way.

186
00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:02,600
Speaker 1: Where we didn't see away.

187
00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:09,240
Speaker 2: Instead of considering the circumstances, we chose to consider.

188
00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:10,240
Speaker 1: The greatness of our God.

189
00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:14,880
Speaker 2: I've learned, the bigger you make God, the smaller problems become,

190
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:18,559
Speaker 2: the more faith rises in your heart. As we walked

191
00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:21,840
Speaker 2: around the building, we were saying, Lord, we know you

192
00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:24,840
Speaker 2: can open doors that no man can shut. We know

193
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:27,480
Speaker 2: you can take us where we can't go on our own.

194
00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:31,000
Speaker 2: When you get in agreement with God, he will make

195
00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:35,960
Speaker 2: things happen that you could have never made happen. If

196
00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:39,360
Speaker 2: Sarah would have gone for a checkup, the doctor would

197
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:41,840
Speaker 2: have said, I'm sorry, ma'am, you're too old.

198
00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:43,440
Speaker 1: You waited too late.

199
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:47,120
Speaker 2: Plus your husband is an old man. Even if your

200
00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:51,160
Speaker 2: womb was somehow fertile, he doesn't have the seed. No

201
00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:55,000
Speaker 2: doctor would have given them a chance. Medically speaking, it

202
00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:58,840
Speaker 2: was impossible. But don't let people talk you out of

203
00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:02,040
Speaker 2: what God put in your heart. Don't let the experts

204
00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:05,640
Speaker 2: convince you that it's not going to happen. Remember, experts

205
00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:09,360
Speaker 2: built the Titanic in its sank Amateurs built the Ark

206
00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:16,800
Speaker 2: and it floated. No disrespect. But sometimes the experts can

207
00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:20,360
Speaker 2: be wrong. They don't know what God put in you.

208
00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:24,839
Speaker 2: They can't see your seeds of greatness on your own.

209
00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:28,080
Speaker 2: What they're saying about you may be true, but you're

210
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:31,200
Speaker 2: not on your own. You have the most powerful force

211
00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:33,720
Speaker 2: in the universe breathing in your direction.

212
00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:37,079
Speaker 1: He has the final say over your dreams.

213
00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:40,960
Speaker 2: People may have discouraged you, but what he promised is

214
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:41,839
Speaker 2: on the way.

215
00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:45,560
Speaker 1: He has the final say over your health. May not

216
00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:48,760
Speaker 1: have happened yet, but healing is coming. He has the

217
00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:50,680
Speaker 1: final say over your children.

218
00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:53,679
Speaker 2: That child that's off course, God knows how to get

219
00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:56,720
Speaker 2: their attention. He says, as for you and your house,

220
00:11:56,760 --> 00:12:00,400
Speaker 2: you will serve the Lord. When Abraham was a hundred

221
00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:04,440
Speaker 2: years old, Sarah was eighty. This was twenty years after

222
00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:08,480
Speaker 2: the promise, they came into a final word. Sarah gave

223
00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:12,400
Speaker 2: birth to a son. God overrode the laws of nature.

224
00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:17,160
Speaker 2: He overrode what the expert said. He even overrode mistakes

225
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:20,720
Speaker 2: that they had made. If Abraham were here today, he

226
00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:24,760
Speaker 2: would tell you, don't let circumstances talk you out of

227
00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:28,959
Speaker 2: what God put in you. It may look dead, seem impossible.

228
00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:31,600
Speaker 2: The experts say, no way, But I can tell you

229
00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:32,319
Speaker 2: first hand.

230
00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:37,600
Speaker 1: God has the final say. Think about Joseph. His brothers

231
00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:38,160
Speaker 1: had a say.

232
00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:42,719
Speaker 2: They were jealous of him, betrayed him, sold him into slavery,

233
00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:46,719
Speaker 2: Potiphar's wife, the man Joseph worked for. She had a

234
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:50,360
Speaker 2: say she lied about him. Joseph was put in prison.

235
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:56,080
Speaker 2: He had all these negative voices, negative circumstances in Joseph's life.

236
00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:59,839
Speaker 1: He could have lived bitter, but he understood this principle.

237
00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:03,960
Speaker 2: After all the bad breaks, he was suddenly brought out

238
00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:08,080
Speaker 2: of prison and made the Prime Minister of Egypt second

239
00:13:08,160 --> 00:13:08,800
Speaker 2: in command.

240
00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:10,080
Speaker 1: What am I saying?

241
00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:14,079
Speaker 2: When God has the final say, it will make up

242
00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:18,400
Speaker 2: for all the injustice, all the delays. You are not

243
00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:22,640
Speaker 2: falling behind, You're not losing ground. One touch of God's

244
00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:26,120
Speaker 2: favor will put you fifty years down the road, not

245
00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:31,720
Speaker 2: in age, but in influence, in position, and opportunity. I believe,

246
00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:36,080
Speaker 2: like Joseph, You're about to see God step in and

247
00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:40,240
Speaker 2: override what's been hindering you. You're about to come into

248
00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:44,760
Speaker 2: a final word in your health, in your relationships, in

249
00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:49,440
Speaker 2: your finances. That struggle may seem permanent, like you'll never

250
00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:54,720
Speaker 2: get ahead. God is about to override the lack, the limitations,

251
00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:57,880
Speaker 2: the people that have held you back, and release you

252
00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:02,880
Speaker 2: into new levels of influence, increase abundance. The final word

253
00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:06,160
Speaker 2: is you will lend and not borrow. You are above

254
00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:12,800
Speaker 2: and not beneath, or maybe you were raised in dysfunction, depression, addictions.

255
00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:15,000
Speaker 1: The final word is coming.

256
00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:18,559
Speaker 2: God is about to break those yokes that have held

257
00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:21,520
Speaker 2: you back so you can step up to who you

258
00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:27,160
Speaker 2: were created to be. The final word is freedom, wholeness, abundance,

259
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:31,520
Speaker 2: and victory. In the Scripture, two sisters Mary and Martha

260
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:36,760
Speaker 2: and their brother Lazarus were close friends with Jesus. Lazarus

261
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:41,040
Speaker 2: became very sick. Jesus was in another city, so Martha

262
00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:43,800
Speaker 2: sent word for Jesus to come pray for their brother.

263
00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:46,200
Speaker 1: They had seen Jesus.

264
00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:49,200
Speaker 2: Heal people, open the eyes of the blind, turn water

265
00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:49,960
Speaker 2: into wine.

266
00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:51,920
Speaker 1: They knew he could do miracles.

267
00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:55,720
Speaker 2: Jesus got the word, but he stayed in that city

268
00:14:56,040 --> 00:15:00,000
Speaker 2: for a day, two days, three days. Then their world

269
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:05,240
Speaker 2: first nightmare came true. Lazarus died. They were devastated. Four

270
00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:09,360
Speaker 2: days later, Jesus showed up. Has it ever felt like

271
00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:13,920
Speaker 2: God came too late? You prayed, you believed, you asked,

272
00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:18,480
Speaker 2: but the problem didn't turn around. Martha said, Jesus, if

273
00:15:18,520 --> 00:15:21,080
Speaker 2: you would have been here, if you'd have just come

274
00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:25,040
Speaker 2: when we asked, my brother wouldn't have died. She could

275
00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:28,240
Speaker 2: have turned away, lived bitter angry. That would be the

276
00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:29,200
Speaker 2: end of the story.

277
00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:33,560
Speaker 1: But she went on to say, Lord, even now, I

278
00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:36,760
Speaker 1: know whatever you ask God will do it for you.

279
00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:40,480
Speaker 2: She was saying, Yes, it looks bad, it seems impossible,

280
00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:44,960
Speaker 2: but I know you have the final say. Jesus said

281
00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:48,600
Speaker 2: to them, take me to where you buried Lazarus.

282
00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:50,040
Speaker 1: Take me to the tomb.

283
00:15:50,840 --> 00:15:53,800
Speaker 2: He was saying, take me to the place where you

284
00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:57,480
Speaker 2: quit believing. Take me to where you decided you're not

285
00:15:57,560 --> 00:15:58,440
Speaker 2: going to get well.

286
00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:00,400
Speaker 1: You'll never meet the right place person.

287
00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:04,200
Speaker 2: Unless you go back to that place and stir your

288
00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:05,680
Speaker 2: faith up, it will.

289
00:16:05,520 --> 00:16:08,600
Speaker 1: Limit what God can do. They went to the tomb.

290
00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:13,280
Speaker 2: Jesus told them to roll away the stone. Martha said, Lord,

291
00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:16,160
Speaker 2: he's been dead for four days. He's going to stink.

292
00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:20,600
Speaker 2: The stone represents what you've given up on. You think

293
00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:23,680
Speaker 2: it's been too long, too late, it's never going to happen.

294
00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:27,040
Speaker 2: So you put the stone on the promise, the stone

295
00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:27,800
Speaker 2: on the dream.

296
00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:32,240
Speaker 1: You have to do your part and roll away the stone.

297
00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:35,440
Speaker 2: You have to start believing again, get your passion back.

298
00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:40,000
Speaker 2: They removed the stone, but Jesus didn't go in the

299
00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:43,640
Speaker 2: tomb and lay hands on Lazarus like he did the

300
00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:45,000
Speaker 2: blind man and.

301
00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:46,440
Speaker 1: Some other people that he healed.

302
00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:52,440
Speaker 2: This time he spoke said Lazarus, come forth. Instantly Lazarus

303
00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:55,760
Speaker 2: woke up. He came out of the tomb on a

304
00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:59,640
Speaker 2: word from the Lord. Now, Jesus may not be here

305
00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:03,840
Speaker 2: in today, but we have what Lazarus had. You can

306
00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:08,119
Speaker 2: come out on a word from God. God says you

307
00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:09,920
Speaker 2: will live and not die.

308
00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:12,800
Speaker 1: Let that take root. You can come out on that word.

309
00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:16,960
Speaker 2: God says, whatever you touch will prosper and succeed.

310
00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:20,200
Speaker 1: There's a word you can come out on. Or whom

311
00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:22,119
Speaker 1: the sun sets free is free.

312
00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:26,919
Speaker 2: Indeed, there's a word that breaks bondages. What God says

313
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:31,240
Speaker 2: in the scripture is the final word. It's significant that

314
00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:35,240
Speaker 2: Jesus waited four days to pray for Lazarus. He could

315
00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:37,480
Speaker 2: have healed him the first day he knew he was sick,

316
00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:40,480
Speaker 2: or at least the second day, and not made them.

317
00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:41,399
Speaker 1: Go through so much.

318
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:46,080
Speaker 2: But there's always a reason for a delay. We may

319
00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:49,119
Speaker 2: not understand it, but God knows what he's doing.

320
00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:51,200
Speaker 1: And while you're waiting for.

321
00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:55,160
Speaker 2: A situation to turn around, waiting for your health to improve,

322
00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:57,800
Speaker 2: waiting for your child to get on the right track.

323
00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:02,000
Speaker 2: That's a critical time you have to pass the test

324
00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:06,760
Speaker 2: of waiting. If Martha would have stayed negative, bitter, complaining,

325
00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:10,399
Speaker 2: she could have stopped the miracle. Will you stay in

326
00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:14,000
Speaker 2: faith when heaven is silent? Will you wait with a

327
00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:17,320
Speaker 2: good attitude and keep thanking God that he has the

328
00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:21,680
Speaker 2: final say. When you don't see anything improving, how you

329
00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:26,639
Speaker 2: wait will determine whether or not the situation changes. And

330
00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:30,200
Speaker 2: back in those days, the Sadducees, these were the people

331
00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:33,800
Speaker 2: that were very against Jesus. They believed that the spirit

332
00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:36,800
Speaker 2: left the body three days after.

333
00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:37,439
Speaker 1: The person died.

334
00:18:38,320 --> 00:18:42,720
Speaker 2: It wasn't a coincidence that Jesus waited till the fourth day.

335
00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:46,199
Speaker 2: He did it so that when he raised Lazarus.

336
00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:47,760
Speaker 1: There wouldn't be any doubt about it.

337
00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:52,320
Speaker 2: And sometimes God will wait on purpose, so you not

338
00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:55,919
Speaker 2: only know it's his favor, but so all of your critics,

339
00:18:56,080 --> 00:19:00,400
Speaker 2: your neighbors, your relatives, your coworkers, they won't be well.

340
00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:04,280
Speaker 1: To deny the goodness of God in your life. I

341
00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:05,200
Speaker 1: talked to this lady.

342
00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:08,760
Speaker 2: Her son was diagnosed with muscular dystrophy when he was

343
00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:11,200
Speaker 2: six years old, and he got to the point where

344
00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:13,960
Speaker 2: he couldn't walk. When he was twelve. He had to

345
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:17,000
Speaker 2: have surgery on his feet and heels. It was a

346
00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:21,000
Speaker 2: routine procedure, but something went wrong. He ended up in

347
00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:25,560
Speaker 2: ICU on a ventilator, couldn't breathe on his own. His

348
00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:29,720
Speaker 2: other organs started to shut down, his heart's, livers, kidneys.

349
00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:31,720
Speaker 1: He had to go on dialysis.

350
00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:35,760
Speaker 2: The doctors told this mother that they didn't think he

351
00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:38,760
Speaker 2: was going to make it. She kept praying and believing,

352
00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:43,439
Speaker 2: but everything went downhill got so bad they needed to

353
00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:48,080
Speaker 2: put him on a machine to bypass his heart and lungs. Basically,

354
00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:51,919
Speaker 2: he would be on life support, just waiting to pass.

355
00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:54,439
Speaker 2: They went to get the paperwork for the mother to

356
00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:58,199
Speaker 2: sign to give them permission. While she was waiting, the

357
00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:01,800
Speaker 2: doctors came running in. They said, hang on, you don't

358
00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:06,000
Speaker 2: need to sign. There's been a sudden change. They couldn't

359
00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:10,879
Speaker 2: explain it, but his heart started working, his blood pressure stabilized,

360
00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:15,440
Speaker 2: his lungs begin to function. They couldn't understand how one

361
00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:19,040
Speaker 2: moment he was dying and the next moment he was.

362
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:20,639
Speaker 1: Coming back to life.

363
00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:24,520
Speaker 2: Friends, God has the final say, if it's not your

364
00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:26,760
Speaker 2: time to go, you're not going to go.

365
00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:32,520
Speaker 1: The sculpture says the number of your days. God will

366
00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:36,080
Speaker 1: fulfill You. Don't have to fulfill it. God's going to

367
00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:36,719
Speaker 1: fulfill it.

368
00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:41,359
Speaker 2: Nothing can snatch you out of his hands. Cancer can't

369
00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:44,719
Speaker 2: take one day that God has planned for you. That

370
00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:46,480
Speaker 2: sickness cannot take.

371
00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:47,640
Speaker 1: You before your time.

372
00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:51,000
Speaker 2: Well, Joel, my loved one didn't make it. Then their

373
00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:51,920
Speaker 2: time was up.

374
00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:56,199
Speaker 1: They fulfilled the days that God planned for them. They

375
00:20:56,240 --> 00:20:58,280
Speaker 1: didn't show up in heaven unannounced.

376
00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:00,720
Speaker 2: They didn't get there, and God say, wow, I didn't

377
00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:03,720
Speaker 2: know you were coming. God was the one beckoning them

378
00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:07,760
Speaker 2: to come. He was the one receiving them with open arms.

379
00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:11,360
Speaker 2: We may not always understand it or like it, but

380
00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:12,639
Speaker 2: you can rest assured.

381
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:16,680
Speaker 1: God has the final say. He planned all of your

382
00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:18,159
Speaker 1: days before.

383
00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:21,760
Speaker 2: You were born, and He's promised to fulfill the number

384
00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:26,520
Speaker 2: of your days. This young man totally recovered. It's no

385
00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:30,760
Speaker 2: longer on dialysis. His heart is fine, his lungs are fine.

386
00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:34,359
Speaker 2: He's fulfilling his purpose. But you may be in a

387
00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:38,280
Speaker 2: situation like the mother doesn't seem like it'll ever turn around.

388
00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:43,119
Speaker 2: Dream that looks impossible, an addiction that seems permanent. I

389
00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:47,080
Speaker 2: believe you're going to hear what she heard. There's been

390
00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:51,280
Speaker 2: a sudden change. Something has happened that we can't explain.

391
00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:55,720
Speaker 2: You thought you'd reach your limits. Suddenly you're promoted. The

392
00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:58,880
Speaker 2: company wants you to run the department. You thought you'd

393
00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:01,360
Speaker 2: always struggle with the illness, the addiction.

394
00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:04,360
Speaker 1: Get ready for a sudden change.

395
00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:08,880
Speaker 2: Forces of darkness are being broken. Any area where you're

396
00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:11,359
Speaker 2: not living in victory is not permanent.

397
00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:14,480
Speaker 1: It's temporary. God has the final saying.

398
00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:18,639
Speaker 2: My brother in law, Don, graduated from Texas A and

399
00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:19,560
Speaker 2: M University.

400
00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:22,200
Speaker 1: He's a huge Aggie football fan.

401
00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:26,320
Speaker 2: Last year he was watching a big game on television

402
00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:29,640
Speaker 2: with one of their main rivals. The score was going

403
00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:33,760
Speaker 2: back and forth. Came down to the final possession. The

404
00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:37,560
Speaker 2: Aggies had the ball few seconds left to go. They

405
00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:40,800
Speaker 2: needed to score in order to tie the game, but

406
00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:44,680
Speaker 2: the Aggie quarterback through an interception. The other team got

407
00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:48,160
Speaker 2: the ball. Looked like the game was over. They poured

408
00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:51,199
Speaker 2: gatorade on the coach. The team members came on the

409
00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:55,879
Speaker 2: field celebrating. The opposing fans were going wild. Don was

410
00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:59,560
Speaker 2: so frustrated he not only turned the television off, he

411
00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:02,160
Speaker 2: deleted He needed the recording from his DVR.

412
00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:05,200
Speaker 1: He didn't even want that game in his files.

413
00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:09,320
Speaker 2: Half an hour later, a friend texted him saying, Wow,

414
00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:13,560
Speaker 2: this game is unbelievable. He thought the friend had recorded

415
00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:16,520
Speaker 2: it and was watching it late. He checked Twitter and

416
00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:20,280
Speaker 2: saw the other comments. Come to find out, before the

417
00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:24,880
Speaker 2: Aggie quarterback through the interception, his knee touched the ground,

418
00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:29,280
Speaker 2: so the play was dead. The referees reviewed it and

419
00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:32,320
Speaker 2: gave the ball back to the Aggies. They went on

420
00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:36,280
Speaker 2: to score and tie the game. The game went into overtime.

421
00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:39,240
Speaker 2: First overtime still tied, second, tied.

422
00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:39,840
Speaker 1: Third, fourth.

423
00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:44,080
Speaker 2: In the seventh overtime, the Aggies won the game. It

424
00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:47,320
Speaker 2: was one of the greatest games in college football history.

425
00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:52,520
Speaker 2: But sometimes we do like Dawn. We turned the game.

426
00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:56,000
Speaker 1: Off too soon. We think we'll never get well.

427
00:23:56,320 --> 00:24:00,679
Speaker 2: Whenever meet the right person, whenever accomplish a dream we tried,

428
00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:04,600
Speaker 2: it didn't work out. Feels like the opposing team is won.

429
00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:08,399
Speaker 2: They're celebrating. They poured gatorade on the coach. Can I

430
00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:11,960
Speaker 2: tell you it's not over until God says it's over.

431
00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:14,879
Speaker 1: You better go back and look again.

432
00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:20,480
Speaker 2: Your story doesn't end to defeat, It ends in victory.

433
00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:25,080
Speaker 2: As long as you're breathing, the game is still going. Yes,

434
00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:27,320
Speaker 2: there will be times it looks like it's too late.

435
00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:30,679
Speaker 2: It's impossible. God has ways you've never thought of.

436
00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:35,240
Speaker 1: Get your passion back, start believing again. The game is

437
00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:39,240
Speaker 1: still on. This is what happened two thousand years ago.

438
00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:44,040
Speaker 2: Satan and all the forces of darkness were celebrating. They

439
00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:48,080
Speaker 2: already shot the confetti, poured the gatorade, and started their

440
00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:52,800
Speaker 2: victory party. They finally defeated. Jesus nailed them to a cross.

441
00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:58,800
Speaker 2: What they didn't realize was Jesus prophesied not only his death,

442
00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:03,560
Speaker 2: but his resurrection. They got the first part of the information,

443
00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:07,880
Speaker 2: but they didn't get the final word. Jesus said, destroy

444
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:11,119
Speaker 2: this temple and in three days God will raise it up.

445
00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:16,800
Speaker 2: Jesus asked to borrow Joseph's tomb. He was saying, I

446
00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:18,840
Speaker 2: don't need to buy it. I'm only going to be

447
00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:23,680
Speaker 2: there three days. Satan had selective hearing. While they were

448
00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:28,960
Speaker 2: partying having their celebration, Jesus came walking in, took away

449
00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:32,240
Speaker 2: the keys of death, and Hell said, I am he

450
00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:33,280
Speaker 2: that lives.

451
00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:41,320
Speaker 1: I was dead, but I'm alive forevermore. Now the enemy.

452
00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:44,920
Speaker 2: May be celebrating over you, thinking that you're done, You've

453
00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:49,919
Speaker 2: seen your best days. You'll always be lonely, struggling, addicted, mediocre.

454
00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:52,720
Speaker 1: You need to let him know you didn't hear the

455
00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:53,880
Speaker 1: last word.

456
00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:57,320
Speaker 2: I may be down, but I will arise. I may

457
00:25:57,359 --> 00:26:01,000
Speaker 2: be facing this illness, but healing is coming. This setback

458
00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:04,920
Speaker 2: in my finances and not permanent abundance is in my future.

459
00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:09,680
Speaker 2: The final word says, your latter days will be better

460
00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:10,879
Speaker 2: than your former days.

461
00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:13,439
Speaker 1: Now get in agreement with God.

462
00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:17,399
Speaker 2: Go back to those places where you quit believing, and

463
00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:19,640
Speaker 2: roll away the tomb who.

464
00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:22,440
Speaker 1: Told you it was over. That wasn't the final word.

465
00:26:23,119 --> 00:26:24,080
Speaker 1: Like with Lazarus.

466
00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:27,920
Speaker 2: It may look dead, but I believe and declare it's

467
00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:31,679
Speaker 2: about to come back to life. There's a sudden change coming,

468
00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:37,520
Speaker 2: sudden healing, sudden promotion, sudden opportunity. What you thought was

469
00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:42,680
Speaker 2: permanent is about to suddenly change in your favor in Jesus' name,

470
00:26:43,119 --> 00:26:45,359
Speaker 2: And if you receive it. Can you say even today?
