And I heard 49 00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:20,200 Speaker 5: about this positive farmer and negative farmer. When it would rain, 50 00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:23,080 Speaker 5: the positive farmer would say, Lord, thank you for water 51 00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:26,120 Speaker 5: and our crops. The negative farmer would say, yeah, but 52 00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:28,480 Speaker 5: if it keeps this up, it's going to rock the roots. 53 00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:32,360 Speaker 5: When the sun would come out, positive farmer, Lord, thank 54 00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:36,520 Speaker 5: you for giving our plants valuable nutrients. Negative farmer, Yeah, 55 00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:38,840 Speaker 5: but if it keeps this up, it's going to scortch 56 00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:42,360 Speaker 5: the crops. One day they were bird hunting together in 57 00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:46,200 Speaker 5: a boat. Positive farmer just got a brand new bird dog. 58 00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:49,080 Speaker 5: He is so proud of him. He shot a bird, 59 00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:53,000 Speaker 5: fell in the water, said to his negative farmer, watch this. 60 00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:56,360 Speaker 5: The dog jumped out of the boat, ran on top 61 00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:59,680 Speaker 5: of the water, picked the bird up, ran back on 62 00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:02,600 Speaker 5: top of the water, put it in the boat. Said 63 00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:05,400 Speaker 5: what do you think about that? Negative farmer said, should 64 00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:10,160 Speaker 5: have known it. That dog can't even swim. Say it 65 00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:13,120 Speaker 5: like you mean it. This is my Bible. I am 66 00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:15,600 Speaker 5: what it says. I am. I have what it says 67 00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:18,200 Speaker 5: I have. I can do what it says I can do. 68 00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:21,520 Speaker 5: Today I will be taught the word of God. I 69 00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:25,960 Speaker 5: boldly confess my mind is alert, my heart is receptive. 70 00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:29,920 Speaker 5: I will never be the same. In Jesus' name, God 71 00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:33,200 Speaker 5: bless you. I want to talk to you today about 72 00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:37,200 Speaker 5: seeing to the promise. All of us have things we're 73 00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:41,720 Speaker 5: believing for, dreams we want to accomplish, Problems we're hoping 74 00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:45,040 Speaker 5: will turn around. We know God put the promise in 75 00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:47,280 Speaker 5: our heart, but we don't see how it can happen. 76 00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:51,440 Speaker 5: Maybe the medical report's not good, child is off course, 77 00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:54,920 Speaker 5: we don't have the funds we need. Doesn't seem possible. 78 00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:59,120 Speaker 5: This is the way the Israelites felt in Numbers twenty one. 79 00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:04,680 Speaker 5: In the desert. It was hot, they were tired and thirsty, 80 00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:08,360 Speaker 5: but all they could see was more sand, more rocks, 81 00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:12,119 Speaker 5: more barrenness. And just when they thought they were done, 82 00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:15,600 Speaker 5: they came to this place where there was an old well. 83 00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:20,280 Speaker 5: I can imagine they were excited, thinking, finally we're going 84 00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:23,680 Speaker 5: to get some water. They rushed over to it, but 85 00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:26,920 Speaker 5: the well was dry. They looked down it and could 86 00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:31,360 Speaker 5: see hadn't been used in years, filled with dirt, rocks, 87 00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:35,719 Speaker 5: all kinds of debris. It was another disappointment, But God 88 00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:39,400 Speaker 5: told Moses to gather the people around, and he was 89 00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:42,920 Speaker 5: going to give them water. God gave them the promise, 90 00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:46,599 Speaker 5: water is coming in the desert. Things are about to 91 00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:49,919 Speaker 5: turn around. I'm going to do something out of the ordinary. 92 00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:54,800 Speaker 5: But the promise didn't automatically come to pass. It didn't 93 00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:58,360 Speaker 5: happen just because God said it. There was something the 94 00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:02,719 Speaker 5: Israelites had to do. The scripture says they begin to 95 00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:07,600 Speaker 5: sing this song, spring up a Well, right in the 96 00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:11,280 Speaker 5: middle of the desert, when they were discouraged, when it 97 00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:17,120 Speaker 5: looked impossible. Instead of complaining, they started singing, spring up 98 00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:21,760 Speaker 5: a Well. They were making a declaration of faith. They 99 00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:24,720 Speaker 5: were saying, Lord, thank you that the water is coming, 100 00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:28,360 Speaker 5: thank you that you're making streams in the desert. Thank 101 00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:31,800 Speaker 5: you that you're supplying all of our needs. The verse 102 00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:36,480 Speaker 5: goes on to say they sing to the well. That's 103 00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:40,440 Speaker 5: the key. You have to sing to the promise. It 104 00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:45,440 Speaker 5: didn't look practical in the natural. The well was dried up. 105 00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:50,000 Speaker 5: Every circumstance said water is not going to come out 106 00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:54,240 Speaker 5: of this empty well. Thoughts told them you look foolish. 107 00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:58,560 Speaker 5: You're wasting your time singing to a well. They could 108 00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:01,000 Speaker 5: have talked themselves out of it said, Moses, we're not 109 00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:05,120 Speaker 5: going to sing. We're hot, we're thirsty. We'll sing after 110 00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:09,320 Speaker 5: we get some water. Instead, they kept singing this phrase 111 00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:12,919 Speaker 5: over and over. Spring up, oh well, thanking God for 112 00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:16,320 Speaker 5: the promise. All of a sudden, in the middle of 113 00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:19,080 Speaker 5: the desert, water begin to shoot up out of that 114 00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:23,359 Speaker 5: dried up, empty well. They saw the promise fulfilled. And 115 00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:27,920 Speaker 5: there are promises God is put in you. Every circumstance 116 00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:31,200 Speaker 5: may say it's not going to happen. You'll never get well, 117 00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:35,240 Speaker 5: you'll never meet the right person, you'll never accomplish that dream. 118 00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:38,560 Speaker 5: It's been a long time. You feel like you're in 119 00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:42,440 Speaker 5: a drought. You have to do like them and sing 120 00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:48,080 Speaker 5: to the promise, your praise, your thanksgiving, those declaration of 121 00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:52,240 Speaker 5: faith is what causes water to flow in the desert. 122 00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:56,800 Speaker 5: Doesn't take any faith to sing after the water shows up. 123 00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:01,320 Speaker 5: See easy to sing once the promise is filled. But 124 00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:06,360 Speaker 5: the singing the praise is what causes healing to spring up, 125 00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:11,920 Speaker 5: abundance to spring up, breakthroughs to spring up. And sometimes 126 00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:15,800 Speaker 5: we're waiting on God, but God is waiting on us. 127 00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:19,800 Speaker 5: Why don't you start calling out those promises He's put 128 00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:23,920 Speaker 5: in you. If you're dealing with an illness instead of complaining. 129 00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:28,000 Speaker 5: Spring up old healing Lord, Thank you that you're restoring 130 00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:31,160 Speaker 5: health back into me. Thank you that the number of 131 00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:34,680 Speaker 5: my days you will fulfill. You don't have the funds 132 00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:41,040 Speaker 5: you need. Spring up abundance, spring up promotion, Spring up opportunity. Father, 133 00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:44,080 Speaker 5: Thank you that I will lend and not borrow. Thank 134 00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:48,120 Speaker 5: you that whatever I touch prospers and succeeds. You've been 135 00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:52,600 Speaker 5: single a long time, believing for a spouse. Spring up, Oh, 136 00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:56,960 Speaker 5: good looking husband. Throw a couple adjectives in there. You're 137 00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:03,080 Speaker 5: believing for children. Spring up obaby, spring up off spring. Father, 138 00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:06,600 Speaker 5: you said my seed would be mighty in the land. 139 00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:10,440 Speaker 5: You said children are a gift from the Lord. So, Father, 140 00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:13,960 Speaker 5: thank you that my baby is on the way. That's 141 00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:17,960 Speaker 5: what it means to sing to the promise. When we 142 00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:21,520 Speaker 5: were trying to acquire this building, the former Compact Center, 143 00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:26,080 Speaker 5: all the odds were against us. Well known business leaders 144 00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:28,480 Speaker 5: told us that we would never get it, that we 145 00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:32,680 Speaker 5: were wasting our time. We didn't really have the connections, 146 00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:37,760 Speaker 5: the experience, the funding. All we had was a promise 147 00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:41,280 Speaker 5: that we knew God placed in our heart. Let me 148 00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:45,640 Speaker 5: encourage you, you and God are a majority. If you'll 149 00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:49,000 Speaker 5: stay in faith, sing to the promise, tell it to 150 00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:53,040 Speaker 5: spring forth. All the forces of darkness cannot stop you. 151 00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:57,760 Speaker 5: God has the final say. When he hears you thinking 152 00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:02,120 Speaker 5: him before the answer, come praising him while you're still 153 00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:05,280 Speaker 5: in a drought, declaring his favor when the odds are 154 00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:08,680 Speaker 5: against you. He'll make things happen that you could never 155 00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:12,040 Speaker 5: make happen. He'll open doors that no man can shut. 156 00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:15,320 Speaker 5: Victoria and I used to come up to the Compact 157 00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:18,400 Speaker 5: Center before we owned it, late at night when nobody 158 00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:21,520 Speaker 5: was around, and we would walk around the building. With 159 00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:24,719 Speaker 5: every step we would say, Father, thank you that you're 160 00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:28,280 Speaker 5: fighting our battles. Thank you that you're bigger than this opposition. 161 00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:32,720 Speaker 5: Thank you that your favor surrounds us like a shield. 162 00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:36,400 Speaker 5: What will we doing, singing to the promise, say in 163 00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:42,080 Speaker 5: an effect, spring up, Oh Compact Center, Spring up destinies, 164 00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:47,760 Speaker 5: spring up favor, spring up breakthroughs. God supernaturally opened the door, 165 00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:50,960 Speaker 5: and here we are today. But it's easy to complain 166 00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:53,640 Speaker 5: about how it's not going to work out, and talk 167 00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:56,800 Speaker 5: about how impossible it is. That's going to cause you 168 00:09:56,880 --> 00:10:01,640 Speaker 5: to get stuck where you are live. Discourage, settle, for mediocrity. 169 00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:05,559 Speaker 5: Why don't you start singing to the promise. There are 170 00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:11,800 Speaker 5: goals God has put in you, dreams, healing, promotion, restoration. 171 00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:15,520 Speaker 5: They're lying, dormant. You may not see how it can happen. 172 00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:18,679 Speaker 5: You haven't had the breaks that you need. You could 173 00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:22,080 Speaker 5: easily settle there and think that it wasn't meant to be. 174 00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:26,400 Speaker 5: Those promises are still alive. You have to start calling 175 00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:31,120 Speaker 5: them out. Healing spring up in me, Talent spring up 176 00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:36,640 Speaker 5: in me. Good relationships, joy, peace spring up all through 177 00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:39,280 Speaker 5: the day. Lord, Thank you that my healing is coming. 178 00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:42,560 Speaker 5: Thank you that good breaks are on the way. Thank 179 00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:46,440 Speaker 5: You that divine connections the right people are in my future. 180 00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:50,280 Speaker 5: You may be sick. You can sing your way to health. 181 00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:54,120 Speaker 5: You discourage, you can sing your way to joy. You're 182 00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:56,720 Speaker 5: stuck in your career, you can sing your way to 183 00:10:56,760 --> 00:11:00,120 Speaker 5: the next level. Well, Joel, this sounds good, but you 184 00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:03,320 Speaker 5: don't know my situation. I got passed over for the 185 00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:06,760 Speaker 5: big promotion. The medical report says, I'm not gonna make it. 186 00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:10,160 Speaker 5: I've had this addiction so long, I don't think I'll 187 00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:14,440 Speaker 5: ever break it. That's exactly where the Israelites were in 188 00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:19,360 Speaker 5: the desert. They were tired, discouraged, But they dared to 189 00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:24,079 Speaker 5: sing to an empty, dried up well. They dared to 190 00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:29,000 Speaker 5: thank God for provision when it looked foolish. Every voice 191 00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:31,760 Speaker 5: may tell you it's not going to happen. You have 192 00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:35,280 Speaker 5: to dig your heels in and say, spring up healing, 193 00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:40,640 Speaker 5: Spring up new levels, spring up promotion. Don't complain about 194 00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:44,920 Speaker 5: the problem, Sing to the promise. Thank God that things 195 00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:48,360 Speaker 5: are changing in your favor. Thank Him that blessings are 196 00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:52,040 Speaker 5: chasing you down. Thank Him that your children will fulfill 197 00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:55,160 Speaker 5: their destinies. That as for you and your house, you 198 00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:58,559 Speaker 5: will serve the Lord. I talked to a young man. 199 00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:02,120 Speaker 5: He came from a small town in Mississippi. He got 200 00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:06,120 Speaker 5: a scholarship to play soccer at a major university. It's 201 00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:09,960 Speaker 5: very talented, very good athlete, but his dream was to 202 00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:13,720 Speaker 5: play football. His junior year in college, he talked to 203 00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:18,000 Speaker 5: the coaches. They let him switch from soccer to football. 204 00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:20,720 Speaker 5: He was the kicker. He was thrilled to be on 205 00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:23,679 Speaker 5: the football team, but the coaches didn't give him a 206 00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:28,040 Speaker 5: chance because he didn't come from a football background. They 207 00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:31,000 Speaker 5: never put him in the game. For two years, he 208 00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:35,240 Speaker 5: sat the bench, never kicked one field goal At the 209 00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:38,760 Speaker 5: end of his last college season, there was a scout 210 00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:42,199 Speaker 5: day when coaches from professional teams would come and look 211 00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:46,000 Speaker 5: at the players and evaluate them. He was hoping somebody 212 00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:49,720 Speaker 5: would be interested in him. He was a very skilled kicker, 213 00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:53,200 Speaker 5: but since he had never played a game, nobody knew 214 00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:56,400 Speaker 5: who he was. He waited and waited for a phone call, 215 00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:59,760 Speaker 5: but it never came. It looked like his football days 216 00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:04,000 Speaker 5: were over. Driving home from college, flipped on the radio 217 00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:08,480 Speaker 5: and came across our serious exem station. He heard me 218 00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:12,400 Speaker 5: talking about how a shift is coming, how you're just 219 00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:16,080 Speaker 5: one phone call away from your destiny, how one touch 220 00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:18,800 Speaker 5: of God's favor can catapult you to the next level. 221 00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:21,920 Speaker 5: I talked about how it's going to happen faster than 222 00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:25,920 Speaker 5: you think. When he heard that, something came alive on 223 00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:30,000 Speaker 5: the inside. He knew that was for him. He got 224 00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:32,920 Speaker 5: his cell phone out and made a three minute video 225 00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:36,120 Speaker 5: telling everyone that he was going to be in the 226 00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:40,600 Speaker 5: NFL that year. Most of his friends thought he had 227 00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:43,920 Speaker 5: lost his mind. He had never kicked a field goal 228 00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:47,440 Speaker 5: in college, had no track record. Now you're going to 229 00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:51,880 Speaker 5: play professional football. That doesn't make sense. Now, instead of 230 00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:57,520 Speaker 5: being discouraged, instead of complaining, he had this expectancy. He 231 00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:01,400 Speaker 5: went around saying, Lord, thank you for opening up new doors. 232 00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:04,680 Speaker 5: Thank you that your favor causes me to stand out. 233 00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:08,760 Speaker 5: Thank you that you're bringing opportunity across my path. He 234 00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:13,640 Speaker 5: was singing to the promise, saying, in effect, spring up, 235 00:14:13,640 --> 00:14:17,760 Speaker 5: oh whell looking for God's goodness. Four hours after he 236 00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:22,080 Speaker 5: made the video, he received a phone call from Cincinnati, Ohio. 237 00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:26,080 Speaker 5: He doesn't know anyone in Cincinnati, so he didn't answer it. 238 00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:29,840 Speaker 5: They left a voice message. It said, this is the 239 00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:34,640 Speaker 5: kicking coach for the Cincinnati Bengals football team. We'd like 240 00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:37,240 Speaker 5: you to come to our rookie camp and try out 241 00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:39,920 Speaker 5: for the team. He thought it was a prank call, 242 00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:43,360 Speaker 5: some friends playing a joke on him. He called the 243 00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:46,520 Speaker 5: number back, found out it was the real thing. He 244 00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:50,360 Speaker 5: tried out for the team, and he made the team. Today, 245 00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:54,880 Speaker 5: he's one of the few African American kickers in the NFL. 246 00:14:56,240 --> 00:15:00,680 Speaker 5: How could someone that's never kicked a field goal college, 247 00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:06,000 Speaker 5: doesn't have the qualifications, the experience, the resume make it 248 00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:10,520 Speaker 5: to the highest level the NFL. That's God bringing water 249 00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:14,280 Speaker 5: out of an empty well. That's God making streams in 250 00:15:14,320 --> 00:15:18,680 Speaker 5: the desert. That's what happens when you sing to the 251 00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:23,600 Speaker 5: promise not complain about the drought, complain about who treated 252 00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:27,400 Speaker 5: you wrong, live discouraged because the well was dried up 253 00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:31,200 Speaker 5: and empty. That doesn't do anything productive. You have to 254 00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:34,440 Speaker 5: do like him when the odds are against you, when 255 00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:38,360 Speaker 5: it looks impossible, when you've had bad breaks, dare to say, 256 00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:41,840 Speaker 5: spring up, o well, Lord, Thank you that you're opening 257 00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:44,640 Speaker 5: up new doors. Thank you that you're freeing me from 258 00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:49,000 Speaker 5: this addiction. Thank you that you're bringing divine connections across 259 00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:52,680 Speaker 5: my path. You have to do this by faith. See 260 00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:56,960 Speaker 5: when the Israelites saying spring up a well, they couldn't 261 00:15:57,000 --> 00:16:00,840 Speaker 5: see water, they couldn't taste water, they could couldn't feel water, 262 00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:05,560 Speaker 5: they couldn't smell water. There was no reason, logically speaking 263 00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:09,440 Speaker 5: for them to believe that water was around. If you 264 00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:12,240 Speaker 5: just go by what you see and feel and think, 265 00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:15,280 Speaker 5: you'll talk yourself out of it. That's why the scripture 266 00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:19,760 Speaker 5: says walk by faith and not by sight. If the 267 00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:23,360 Speaker 5: Israelites would have looked at it in the natural, instead 268 00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:26,760 Speaker 5: of singing, spring up, oh well, they would have sang, 269 00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:31,120 Speaker 5: this old well is empty, this old well is dried up. 270 00:16:31,560 --> 00:16:36,280 Speaker 5: Would have been a country western song. But in difficult times, 271 00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:39,880 Speaker 5: you're gonna be saying something. You're either going to be 272 00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:44,600 Speaker 5: singing about the problem or singing to the promise, either 273 00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:47,800 Speaker 5: talking about how big your challenge is or talking about 274 00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:51,040 Speaker 5: how big your God is. Either saying I'll never get 275 00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:54,000 Speaker 5: out of this drought or this drought is only temporary. 276 00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:57,200 Speaker 5: I know water is on the way. Spring up, oh well, 277 00:16:57,560 --> 00:17:02,400 Speaker 5: spring up victory, spring up abundance, spring up feeling, spring 278 00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:07,159 Speaker 5: up favor. The scripture says, it's not going to happen 279 00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:11,200 Speaker 5: by our might, by our power, but by the spirit 280 00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:15,280 Speaker 5: of the Most High God. God is not limited by 281 00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:19,320 Speaker 5: the natural. He's limited by what we believe. When you 282 00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:22,880 Speaker 5: start singing to the promise, believing that he can make 283 00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:26,240 Speaker 5: streams in the desert, thanking him for what he's put 284 00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:29,000 Speaker 5: in your heart, God will show out in your life 285 00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:32,879 Speaker 5: in ways greater than you've ever imagined. But too often 286 00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:35,880 Speaker 5: we think, I'll wait till I see the water, till 287 00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:38,840 Speaker 5: I see the promise, then I'll sing. Then I'll have 288 00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:42,480 Speaker 5: a good attitude. Joel, that's backwards. You have to sing first. 289 00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:48,040 Speaker 5: Isaiah put it this way. Sing o bearing woman, you 290 00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:52,280 Speaker 5: who never bore a child, break forth into song. He 291 00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:56,320 Speaker 5: didn't say, sing because God gave you the baby, Sing 292 00:17:56,359 --> 00:17:59,960 Speaker 5: because you saw the promise turned around. This text will 293 00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:04,320 Speaker 5: written to women who were barren. Back in the Bible days, 294 00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:07,560 Speaker 5: if a lady didn't give her husband a child, she 295 00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:10,760 Speaker 5: was looked down on. They lived with a sense of shame. 296 00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:14,119 Speaker 5: That's why you read about people like Hannah. She was 297 00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:17,160 Speaker 5: so distressed that she couldn't have a baby. She went 298 00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:21,080 Speaker 5: to the altar again and again wept and wept, so 299 00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:24,840 Speaker 5: much so that Eli the prophet thought she was drunk. 300 00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:29,040 Speaker 5: But Isaiah wasn't writing to people that had their children. 301 00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:33,160 Speaker 5: He was writing to people who were barren, people who 302 00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:37,720 Speaker 5: were waiting for the promise, believing for their healing, hoping 303 00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:40,720 Speaker 5: to meet the right person, praying that the business would 304 00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:44,480 Speaker 5: turn around. What are you supposed to do when you're bearing? 305 00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:47,960 Speaker 5: Beg God to help you? Complain about how long it's 306 00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:52,439 Speaker 5: taking live discouraged because life hasn't dealt you a fair hand. No, 307 00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:57,240 Speaker 5: Isaiah said, Sing when you're bearing, break forth into song. 308 00:18:57,640 --> 00:19:03,240 Speaker 5: Here's the principle. Praise is the birth position. Thanking God 309 00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:08,520 Speaker 5: is what causes promises to come to pass. Complaining will 310 00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:13,080 Speaker 5: keep your baby in the womb. Focusing on negative circumstances 311 00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:16,880 Speaker 5: will keep you barn. But when you switch over into praise, 312 00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:20,040 Speaker 5: you say, Lord, thank you for your goodness and favor 313 00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:22,919 Speaker 5: in my life. Lord, I know you haven't brought me 314 00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:26,000 Speaker 5: this far to leave me. So thank you for new levels, 315 00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:29,080 Speaker 5: thank you for breakthroughs. Thank you that I will become 316 00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:34,879 Speaker 5: everything You've created me to be. That's not just being grateful, 317 00:19:35,359 --> 00:19:39,679 Speaker 5: that's getting in to the birth position. You continue to 318 00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:43,800 Speaker 5: do that, living a life of praise, then you will 319 00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:47,879 Speaker 5: give birth to everything God's placed in your heart. But 320 00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:51,720 Speaker 5: when we're bearn it's easy to live discouraged. It's easy 321 00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:54,960 Speaker 5: to go around feeling sorry for ourselves. But when you 322 00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:59,360 Speaker 5: start thanking God that things are changing in your favor, 323 00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:03,800 Speaker 5: I can imagine God saying to the angels, what's that 324 00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:09,040 Speaker 5: sound I'm hearing. Most people would be negative, worried, complaining, 325 00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:12,800 Speaker 5: But listen to what they're saying. They're thanking me that 326 00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:16,320 Speaker 5: the answers on the way. They're singing about the victory. 327 00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:20,440 Speaker 5: Before they see the victory. Angels go to work, restore 328 00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:23,639 Speaker 5: their health, open up new doors, bring that dream to pass. 329 00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:28,800 Speaker 5: The Psalmist said, God inhabits the praises of his people 330 00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:32,920 Speaker 5: if you want God to show up. Don't complain, don't 331 00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:36,760 Speaker 5: talk about the problem. Sing to the promise, thank him 332 00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:39,800 Speaker 5: that it's on the way. That's what a young lady 333 00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:42,919 Speaker 5: I know did. For years, she and her husband had 334 00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:45,400 Speaker 5: been trying to have a baby in She went through 335 00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:48,520 Speaker 5: all the fertility treatments. They spent a lot of money 336 00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:52,440 Speaker 5: with no success. They were finally told that they weren't 337 00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:56,359 Speaker 5: able to have children. She didn't get discouraged. She didn't 338 00:20:56,359 --> 00:21:00,680 Speaker 5: start complaining. Every day she would say Lord, thank you 339 00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:03,680 Speaker 5: that my baby is on the way. She did this 340 00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:07,760 Speaker 5: year after year. The promise God put in you is 341 00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:11,600 Speaker 5: like a seed. It has to be watered. The way 342 00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:15,480 Speaker 5: you water that seed is through your praise, by thanking 343 00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:19,399 Speaker 5: God that is coming by living with expectancy. And the 344 00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:23,080 Speaker 5: reason some people stay barren they don't see the promise 345 00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:28,000 Speaker 5: fulfilled is they've stopped watering their seed. They were excited 346 00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:31,840 Speaker 5: at first. They believe they were going to reach their dreams, 347 00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:35,359 Speaker 5: break the addiction, meet the right person. But over time, 348 00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:39,320 Speaker 5: when they didn't see it happening, they got discouraged. But 349 00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:42,159 Speaker 5: if you plan an apple seed and don't water it, 350 00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:45,760 Speaker 5: it's not going to grow. There's nothing wrong with the seed. 351 00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:49,280 Speaker 5: The seed is still full of life, full of potential. 352 00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:52,760 Speaker 5: It just needs to be watered in the same way 353 00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:56,880 Speaker 5: the seed God put in. You may not have come 354 00:21:56,920 --> 00:22:00,439 Speaker 5: to pass yet, but the good news is it's still alive. 355 00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:04,240 Speaker 5: You may have to water it for another month, a year, 356 00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:07,760 Speaker 5: or twenty years. But if you'll keep water in that seed, 357 00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:12,040 Speaker 5: thanking God for the promise, at the appointed time, it 358 00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:15,240 Speaker 5: will come to pass. And that's what this couple did 359 00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:19,280 Speaker 5: for many years. Recently they stopped me in the lobby 360 00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:22,919 Speaker 5: and told how after nine years they were able to 361 00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:26,159 Speaker 5: get pregnant. They have a two year old son, and 362 00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:29,600 Speaker 5: now their second child is on the way. This is 363 00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:34,080 Speaker 5: after all the medical reports said they couldn't have any children. 364 00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:38,440 Speaker 5: Their doctor was puzzled. He said, I've never seen anything 365 00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:42,600 Speaker 5: like this. Something happened and your womb just opened up. 366 00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:47,200 Speaker 5: Everything started working. She's in her forties. He said, you're 367 00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:50,040 Speaker 5: like a twenty year old. You can probably have five 368 00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:53,080 Speaker 5: more children. She said, no, thanks, I don't want to 369 00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:57,080 Speaker 5: be that blessed. No more singing of that promise. But 370 00:22:57,119 --> 00:23:00,359 Speaker 5: what am I saying? God can bring water out of 371 00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:04,280 Speaker 5: an empty well, He can make streams in the desert. 372 00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:07,520 Speaker 5: Learn to see to the promise, thank Him that it's 373 00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:10,919 Speaker 5: on the way. Under your breath, make declarations of faith. 374 00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:16,440 Speaker 5: Healings spring up, babies spring up, promotion spring up. If 375 00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:20,960 Speaker 5: you'll live with this expectancy, always water in your praise, 376 00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:25,760 Speaker 5: God will make things happen that looked impossible. Second Kings, 377 00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:29,440 Speaker 5: Chapter three. The people of Judah had been traveling through 378 00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:33,080 Speaker 5: the desert for seven days on their way to battle 379 00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:36,879 Speaker 5: an enemy army when they too ran out of water. 380 00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:40,880 Speaker 5: They didn't realize the streams along the way were dried up. 381 00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:44,840 Speaker 5: Now they didn't have water for themselves or their animals. 382 00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:49,800 Speaker 5: They camped in a valley where it never rains. It 383 00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:53,679 Speaker 5: was hot, they were thirsty. The worst place to run 384 00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:56,360 Speaker 5: out of water. Looked like they would be an easy 385 00:23:56,480 --> 00:24:00,520 Speaker 5: target for the enemy that was approaching. They sent to 386 00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:04,760 Speaker 5: the profit Elisha, asking them what they should do. He 387 00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:09,160 Speaker 5: told them to dig ditches in the valley to prepare 388 00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:13,600 Speaker 5: for the water that was coming. I'm sure, they said, Elisha, 389 00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:16,800 Speaker 5: you must not realize we're in a valley where it 390 00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:21,000 Speaker 5: never rains. They haven't had water here for years. We're 391 00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:24,040 Speaker 5: not going to waste our time digging ditches. If we 392 00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:26,960 Speaker 5: see some clouds starting to form. If we hear a 393 00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:30,800 Speaker 5: little thunder, maybe then we'll dig a few ditches, he said, 394 00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:34,520 Speaker 5: Now doesn't work that way. If you want water, you 395 00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:38,240 Speaker 5: have to dig the ditches first. He went on to say, 396 00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:43,440 Speaker 5: you will see neither wind nor rain, but this valley 397 00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:47,679 Speaker 5: will be filled with water. He was saying, it's not 398 00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:51,760 Speaker 5: going to happen a natural, ordinary way. It's going to 399 00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:57,479 Speaker 5: happen supernaturally. They dug the ditches. The next morning, it 400 00:24:57,520 --> 00:25:01,320 Speaker 5: didn't rain, there wasn't a storm, but out of nowhere, 401 00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:05,520 Speaker 5: water begin flooding into that valley. They went on to 402 00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:09,800 Speaker 5: defeat the enemy army. Every time you thank God that 403 00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:13,640 Speaker 5: the promise is coming, you're digging a ditch. The medical 404 00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:16,560 Speaker 5: report may say you'll never get well, but you go 405 00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:20,439 Speaker 5: around saying Father, thank you. With long life. You satisfy me, 406 00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:23,600 Speaker 5: thank you that I will live and not die. Thoughts 407 00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:27,040 Speaker 5: will tell you why are you digging that ditch? Don't 408 00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:29,399 Speaker 5: you know there are no clouds in the sky. It 409 00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:33,200 Speaker 5: doesn't rain in this valley. Don't worry. It's not going 410 00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:37,080 Speaker 5: to happen a natural way. It's going to be supernatural. 411 00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:40,840 Speaker 5: Out of nowhere, your health shows up, you meet the 412 00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:44,959 Speaker 5: right person, your business takes off. Suddenly you're out of debt. 413 00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:49,600 Speaker 5: When you sing to the promise, you're digging ditches. You're 414 00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:54,000 Speaker 5: making preparations for God to do what you cannot do. 415 00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:59,240 Speaker 5: He said he would give you water without rain. That 416 00:25:59,359 --> 00:26:03,280 Speaker 5: means God can promote you like that football kicker, even 417 00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:06,879 Speaker 5: though you don't have the qualifications, you don't have the experience. 418 00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:11,520 Speaker 5: God can heal you like my mother without the treatment, 419 00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:15,720 Speaker 5: even though medically speaking it said it was over. God 420 00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:20,480 Speaker 5: can promote you beyond your salary, beyond your education. He's 421 00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:23,639 Speaker 5: not limited to your job, to your income. He owns 422 00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:27,359 Speaker 5: it all. When you say, Father, thank you that my 423 00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:31,320 Speaker 5: children make good decisions, thank you that they will fulfill 424 00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:35,040 Speaker 5: their destinies. There may be no sign of it at 425 00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:38,159 Speaker 5: the time. If somebody heard you, they could say, what 426 00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:41,359 Speaker 5: are you talking about. Your children don't make good decisions. 427 00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:44,960 Speaker 5: They're of course, they're always in trouble. That's what they 428 00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:47,800 Speaker 5: said to the people back then. Why are you digging 429 00:26:47,840 --> 00:26:51,960 Speaker 5: a ditch here? It never rains in this valley. Don't 430 00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:54,800 Speaker 5: be moved by what you see, be moved by. 431 00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:55,199 Speaker 4: What you know. 432 00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:59,959 Speaker 5: We know because we're praisers, because we're sings of the promise, 433 00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:05,840 Speaker 5: because our declaration is spring up salvation in our children. 434 00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:09,359 Speaker 5: It's just a matter of time before the water shows up. 435 00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:13,199 Speaker 5: We know the breakthrough is on the way. God is saying, 436 00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:17,600 Speaker 5: if you'll do your part and dig the ditches, I'll 437 00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:21,440 Speaker 5: do my part and bring the water. I'll show you favor. 438 00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:24,560 Speaker 5: I'll open new doors. I'll help you break that addiction. 439 00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:27,880 Speaker 5: You may feel like you're in one of those valleys 440 00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:30,879 Speaker 5: where it never gets water. You've been in a drought. 441 00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:33,800 Speaker 5: You hadn't had good breaks. You could easily settle there. 442 00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:37,280 Speaker 5: This is not the time to get discouraged. This is 443 00:27:37,359 --> 00:27:41,359 Speaker 5: the time to start declaring. Spring up, oh well, Spring 444 00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:45,680 Speaker 5: up promotion, spring up healing, spring up favor. Don't complain 445 00:27:45,760 --> 00:27:50,080 Speaker 5: about the problem. Sing to the promise. Thank God that 446 00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:53,200 Speaker 5: things are changing in your favor. Thank Him that your 447 00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:55,760 Speaker 5: best days are still out in front of you. If 448 00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:59,720 Speaker 5: you'll do this, I believe and declare, the drought is 449 00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:03,040 Speaker 5: come into an end. Dreams are about to spring up, 450 00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:08,240 Speaker 5: healing is about to spring up, new opportunities, new relationships 451 00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:11,200 Speaker 5: in Jesus' name. If you receive it, can you say, 452 00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:15,879 Speaker 5: then today I'd like to give you an opportunity to 453 00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:19,119 Speaker 5: make Jesus the Lord of your life. Would you pray 454 00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:24,480 Speaker 5: with me? Just say, Lord Jesus, I repent of my sins, 455 00:28:25,840 --> 00:28:30,080 Speaker 5: Come into my heart. I make you my Lord and Savior. 456 00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:34,560 Speaker 5: If you prayed that simple prayer, we believe you got 457 00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:37,960 Speaker 5: born again.
