Speaker 3: We appreciate you and pray for God's very best in

Speaker 3: we are believing for God's very best in your life.

31
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:26,680
Speaker 3: I know this. God rewards people that seek after him.

32
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 3: I believe that's you, or you wouldn't be watching, or

33
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:31,240
Speaker 3: you wouldn't have come out today. So thank you for coming.

Speaker 3: If you're ever in our area, stop by and be

35
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:35,399
Speaker 3: a part of one of our services. We loved you

36
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:38,119
Speaker 3: and just appreciate you. Tuning in. I like to get

37
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:40,399
Speaker 3: started each week with something kind of funny, and I

38
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:43,760
Speaker 3: heard about these two little boys. They were brothers, ages

39
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:47,160
Speaker 3: four and six. They were spending the night at their grandmother's.

40
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:49,880
Speaker 3: Before they went to bed, their grandmother told them to

41
00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:52,560
Speaker 3: make sure that they said their prayers. So they went

42
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:54,680
Speaker 3: to their room, got down on their knees, and the

43
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:57,840
Speaker 3: youngest boy, he began to pray at the top of

44
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:01,600
Speaker 3: his lungs. God, I pray for a new bicycle. I

45
00:02:01,720 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 3: pray for a new PlayStation. I pray for a new DVD.

46
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:07,640
Speaker 3: His brother punched him and said, why are you screaming?

47
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:10,320
Speaker 3: God is not death. The little boy said, I know that,

48
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:15,079
Speaker 3: but grandmother is all right. Hold up your Bible. Say

49
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:18,120
Speaker 3: it like you mean it. This is my Bible. I

50
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 3: am what it says I am. I have what it

51
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:23,080
Speaker 3: says I have. I can do what it says I

52
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 3: can do. Today I will be taught the word of God.

53
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:31,480
Speaker 3: I boldly confess. My mind is alert, my heart is receptive.

54
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:35,519
Speaker 3: I will never be the same. In Jesus' name, God

55
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:38,720
Speaker 3: bless you. I want to talk to you today about

56
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:44,639
Speaker 3: speaking faith filled words. Our words have creative power. If

57
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:46,120
Speaker 3: you want to know what you're going to be like

58
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:49,080
Speaker 3: five years from now, just listen to what you're saying

59
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:54,080
Speaker 3: about yourself. You are prophesying your future. Too many people

60
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 3: go around saying I'll never get well, I'll never get

61
00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:01,400
Speaker 3: out of debt, it's flu season, probably get it, this

62
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:04,400
Speaker 3: marriage is never going to last, And then they wonder

63
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:06,760
Speaker 3: why they don't get any good breaks and why they

64
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:11,840
Speaker 3: don't see situations turn around. It's because they're calling in defeat.

65
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:16,400
Speaker 3: They're calling in mediocrity. With our words, we can either

66
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:20,040
Speaker 3: bless our future or we can curse our future. When

67
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:21,919
Speaker 3: you get up in the morning, you may not feel

68
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:24,800
Speaker 3: up to par. You may have some problems. It looks

69
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:27,280
Speaker 3: like it's never going to change. But you need to

70
00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:30,200
Speaker 3: send your words out in the direction you would like

71
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:33,560
Speaker 3: your life to go, instead of complaining and saying, oh,

72
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:36,240
Speaker 3: this is going to be a lousy day. I can't

73
00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:40,560
Speaker 3: stand this job. My spouse never compliments me. No, don't

74
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:44,600
Speaker 3: use your words to describe your situation. Use your words

75
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:47,880
Speaker 3: to change your situation. You may not feel up to par,

76
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:51,880
Speaker 3: but dare to make a declaration of faith and just say,

77
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:53,880
Speaker 3: you know what, this is going to be a great day.

78
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:58,360
Speaker 3: I have God's favor. He's directing my steps. Whatever I

79
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:01,600
Speaker 3: touch is going to prosper and succeed. You know what

80
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:05,720
Speaker 3: you just did. You blessed your future. You called in favor,

81
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:09,600
Speaker 3: called in increase, called in good breaks. Let me ask

82
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 3: you what have you been calling in? What are you

83
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:16,600
Speaker 3: speaking over your family, over your children, over your health,

84
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:20,560
Speaker 3: over your finances. It's not enough to just think it

85
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:23,320
Speaker 3: it's not enough to just believe it. We give life

86
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:26,840
Speaker 3: to our faith when we speak it out. Now, you say, Joel,

87
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:29,480
Speaker 3: my child is never going to do what's right. He

88
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:32,280
Speaker 3: won't listen to me. I don't think he's ever going

89
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:35,440
Speaker 3: to get back on course. No, that's just calling in

90
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:38,400
Speaker 3: more of the same. You need to change what you're saying.

91
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:42,640
Speaker 3: Start saying, Father, I thank you that my child is blessed.

92
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:46,960
Speaker 3: He will make good decisions. He is free from every stronghold.

93
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:51,200
Speaker 3: He will fulfill his destiny. The fact is he may

94
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:54,360
Speaker 3: be as rebellious as can be. But when you're with

95
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:57,840
Speaker 3: your friends, don't talk about how bad he is and

96
00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:01,559
Speaker 3: how he's never going to change. Speak victory over his life.

97
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:04,560
Speaker 3: When they ask how he's doing, Just say, you know what,

98
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:08,960
Speaker 3: he's blessed. He makes good decisions, he's kind and respectful.

99
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:14,120
Speaker 3: He just doesn't know it yet. Those words are like seeds.

100
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:17,680
Speaker 3: That is your faith being released. When God hears that,

101
00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:21,080
Speaker 3: he says to the angels, do you hear what she's saying.

102
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:25,200
Speaker 3: She's speaking, faith, angels, I have an assignment for you.

103
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:27,760
Speaker 3: Go down there and begin to turn the situation around.

104
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:31,640
Speaker 3: That's what it says in Romans four seventeen. We have

105
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:35,000
Speaker 3: to call the things that are not as if they

106
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:39,200
Speaker 3: already are. That means you may not feel well, but

107
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:41,960
Speaker 3: you should not go around saying all, my back's been

108
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 3: hurting me for years. I'm getting so old. I don't

109
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:46,799
Speaker 3: think I'm ever going to get better.

110
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:47,280
Speaker 2: Now.

111
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:50,919
Speaker 3: You just spoke defeat into your future. Turn it around,

112
00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:53,960
Speaker 3: have a report of victory. I may not feel up

113
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:57,320
Speaker 3: to par, but I know it's only temporary. God is

114
00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:01,240
Speaker 3: restoring health. Unto me, I'm getting strong, healthy, or younger.

115
00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:04,440
Speaker 3: My best days are still up ahead. You're gonna get

116
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:07,280
Speaker 3: what you call in. I have a friend. We used

117
00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:09,920
Speaker 3: to play basketball a lot together, and he was always

118
00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:14,000
Speaker 3: kind of negative. He just saw the worst in every situation.

119
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:16,640
Speaker 3: And when I'd see him and ask what's been going on,

120
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:20,120
Speaker 3: he said, all, not much. I'm just getting old and

121
00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:24,640
Speaker 3: fat and bald. I've probably heard him say that five

122
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:28,000
Speaker 3: hundred times. Here he was in great shape. He was

123
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:31,320
Speaker 3: the star of the football team, had this thick, curly hair,

124
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:34,039
Speaker 3: and I know he was kind of just kidding, and

125
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:36,160
Speaker 3: I like to kid a lot, but I don't kid

126
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:40,360
Speaker 3: about that. I want to keep my hair. I probably

127
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:42,920
Speaker 3: hadn't seen him in fifteen twenty years and I saw

128
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:46,360
Speaker 3: him one day. I nearly passed out. He had prophesied

129
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:51,039
Speaker 3: his future. He was old and fat and bald. I

130
00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:53,920
Speaker 3: don't know about you, but I'm not gonna speak defeat

131
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:58,000
Speaker 3: over my life. My declaration is I'm getting younger. God

132
00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:03,400
Speaker 3: is renewing my youth like the e I am getting stronger.

133
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:07,240
Speaker 3: Health and healing is flowing through me. I'm getting better looking.

134
00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:11,760
Speaker 3: I'm gonna keep my hair. We need to pay attention

135
00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:15,280
Speaker 3: to what we're saying. I know people that are always

136
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:18,520
Speaker 3: tired and run down. You know what they're constantly saying,

137
00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:22,240
Speaker 3: I'm so tired, I don't have any energy. They have

138
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:25,680
Speaker 3: said it so much it's become a reality. The more

139
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:27,920
Speaker 3: we talk about it, the more we're gonna call it in.

140
00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:30,800
Speaker 3: If you wake up in the morning and feel tired

141
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:35,080
Speaker 3: and feel lethargic, instead of complaining, you need to start declaring.

142
00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:39,600
Speaker 3: I'm strong, I'm full of energy. God is renewing my strength.

143
00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:43,120
Speaker 3: I can do what I need to do today. I

144
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:46,240
Speaker 3: know sometimes when we've been traveling a lot, being very busy,

145
00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:49,360
Speaker 3: we'll come to church and Victoria will say, Joel, I

146
00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:52,480
Speaker 3: am so tired. Look at my eyes. Can you see

147
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:54,920
Speaker 3: how red they are. I always say, no, Victoria, you

148
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:58,120
Speaker 3: look great. You look just as beautiful as ever. She said, no,

149
00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 3: I don't I know you. You just won't say it.

150
00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:03,520
Speaker 3: She's right. I want to agree with that. I don't

151
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:06,920
Speaker 3: want to speak defeat. I want to speak victory. I

152
00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:10,600
Speaker 3: often wonder what she would think if I ever said, oh, yeah, Victoria,

153
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:15,280
Speaker 3: you don't look good at all. You look so tired

154
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:17,720
Speaker 3: and you're gonna really wear that. I'd have to find

155
00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:23,600
Speaker 3: me a ride home. The more we talk about being tired,

156
00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:26,800
Speaker 3: the more tired we're gonna become. The more we talk

157
00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:29,960
Speaker 3: about being depressed, the more depressed will be. The more

158
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:32,839
Speaker 3: you talk about being overweight, the more out of shape

159
00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:36,440
Speaker 3: you're gonna get. Switch over into victory. Don't talk about

160
00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:38,600
Speaker 3: the way you are, talk about the way you want

161
00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:41,720
Speaker 3: to be. There's a young lady that works here on staff,

162
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:44,880
Speaker 3: and she told our women's group one day how every

163
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:47,680
Speaker 3: morning before she leaves the house, she looks in the

164
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:52,560
Speaker 3: mirror and says, girl, you are looking good today. I

165
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:54,199
Speaker 3: saw her a while back and ask if she was

166
00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:56,319
Speaker 3: still doing it. She said yeah. In fact, this morning, Joe,

167
00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:58,640
Speaker 3: when I looked in that mirror, I said, girl, some

168
00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:02,040
Speaker 3: days you look good, but today you're looking really good.

169
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:07,080
Speaker 3: But I wonder how many of us would be bold

170
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:10,280
Speaker 3: enough to look in the mirror and say something that

171
00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:15,240
Speaker 3: complementary toward ourselves. Most people go around saying I don't

172
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:19,000
Speaker 3: look good today, I'm overweighed, I'm unattractive, I can't do

173
00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:22,480
Speaker 3: anything right now. Don't speak that defeat over your life.

174
00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:26,040
Speaker 3: You are prophesying what you're going to become. Let's be

175
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:29,600
Speaker 3: bold like her and dare to say I look great today.

176
00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:33,560
Speaker 3: I made in the image of Almighty God. I am strong, talented,

177
00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:36,640
Speaker 3: I'm blessed, I am creative. I am going to have

178
00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:41,480
Speaker 3: a productive day. When our little daughter Alexandra was about

179
00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:45,319
Speaker 3: four years old, she overheard Victoria and I talking about

180
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:49,040
Speaker 3: this little boy that was having terrible headaches. It was

181
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:51,600
Speaker 3: causing him to miss a lot of school and just

182
00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:55,240
Speaker 3: giving him a lot of difficulties. And little Alexandra spoke

183
00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:58,360
Speaker 3: up and said, Daddy, I don't have headaches and I

184
00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:02,360
Speaker 3: never will have headaches. I thought, you are exactly right.

185
00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:05,480
Speaker 3: You are prophesying the right thing. And if we ever

186
00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:08,559
Speaker 3: got off track back then with our words, little Alexander

187
00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:11,360
Speaker 3: would straighten us out. One time I was working on

188
00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:14,160
Speaker 3: the garage door. You come off track, and I was

189
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:16,120
Speaker 3: trying to get it to go up and it was stuck,

190
00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:18,320
Speaker 3: and I was kind of frustrated. I didn't even know

191
00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:21,200
Speaker 3: she was there, but I said, under my breath, this

192
00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:24,400
Speaker 3: thing is never gonna work. I heard this little voice

193
00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:29,800
Speaker 3: speak up, Daddy, You're gonna have what you say. Man,

194
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:34,080
Speaker 3: it's terrible when your own children believe your messages. But

195
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:38,080
Speaker 3: the scripture says, let the redeemed of the Lord say so.

196
00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:41,439
Speaker 3: If you're gonna go to the next level, you need

197
00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:45,280
Speaker 3: to say so. If you're gonna overcome that addiction, you

198
00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:48,320
Speaker 3: have to say so. If you're gonna have a blessed yeer,

199
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:50,800
Speaker 3: if you're gonna get out of debt, if you're gonna

200
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:55,600
Speaker 3: accomplish your dreams, start saying so. Nothing happens until we

201
00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:58,760
Speaker 3: speak it out. Notice it doesn't say, let the Redeemed

202
00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:02,120
Speaker 3: of the Lord think so. Let the redeemed believes so.

203
00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:05,400
Speaker 3: Of course, it's important to think right, it's important to

204
00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:09,560
Speaker 3: believe right. But something supernatural happens when we speak it out.

205
00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:12,200
Speaker 3: You don't have to say it to anybody else, Just

206
00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:15,240
Speaker 3: say it to yourself. Driving to work in the shower,

207
00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:18,480
Speaker 3: the economy may be low, but I am blessed. I

208
00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:22,319
Speaker 3: am prosperous. I will lend and not borrow. The hurricane

209
00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:25,280
Speaker 3: may have hit, I had some setbacks, but I know

210
00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:28,199
Speaker 3: it was a setup for a comeback. This is still

211
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:30,520
Speaker 3: going to be my best year so far. The favor

212
00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:34,199
Speaker 3: of God is turning it around. Or I may be

213
00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:37,240
Speaker 3: a little lonely right now, but I know this is

214
00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:40,960
Speaker 3: just a season. God is bringing somebody great into my life.

215
00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:43,800
Speaker 3: I will get married. I haven't met him yet, but

216
00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:47,560
Speaker 3: he's on his way. And let me tell you, he's tall, dark, handsome,

217
00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:53,640
Speaker 3: plus he's rich. I know you were thinking it. I

218
00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:57,640
Speaker 3: might as well say it. Put your faith out there.

219
00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:01,600
Speaker 3: You are prophesying your future. I hope you take this

220
00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:05,240
Speaker 3: in the right way. But ever since I've been on television,

221
00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:09,160
Speaker 3: I've said privately, people like me, and when they turn

222
00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:12,400
Speaker 3: me on, they can't turn me off. You don't know

223
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:16,480
Speaker 3: how many letters I get from people they say, Joel,

224
00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:20,440
Speaker 3: I don't watch television, ministers. I am not a religious person.

225
00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:23,240
Speaker 3: But when I was flipping through the channels and came

226
00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:27,040
Speaker 3: across your program, once I turned you on, I couldn't

227
00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:30,240
Speaker 3: turn you off. I think to myself, I know why

228
00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:35,680
Speaker 3: I called you in. There is a correlation between what

229
00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:39,760
Speaker 3: we say and what God does. You cannot be passive

230
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:42,360
Speaker 3: and say, all right, Joel, I'm not gonna speak anything negative.

231
00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:45,240
Speaker 3: I'll make sure I don't say the wrong kind of words.

232
00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:48,240
Speaker 3: That's good, but that's not good enough. If you're going

233
00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:50,520
Speaker 3: to see God's best, you have to stay on the

234
00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:55,240
Speaker 3: offensive and speak victory over your life. If you're not

235
00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:58,760
Speaker 3: putting your vision out there with your faith filled words,

236
00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:02,560
Speaker 3: it's limiting what God God can do. Every day, before

237
00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:05,559
Speaker 3: we leave the house, we should say, Father, I want

238
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:08,600
Speaker 3: to thank you that I have your favor on my

239
00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:12,800
Speaker 3: life today. Father, Thank you that you are directing my steps,

240
00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:14,959
Speaker 3: causing me to be at the right place at the

241
00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:18,839
Speaker 3: right time. Thank you that your favor is bringing opportunity,

242
00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:22,880
Speaker 3: bring an increase and promotion, blessing me so I can

243
00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:26,600
Speaker 3: be a blessing to somebody else. You have to declare favor.

244
00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:31,320
Speaker 3: Says in Psalm ninety one, I will say of the Lord,

245
00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:35,120
Speaker 3: he is my refuge, my fortress. The next verse says,

246
00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:40,200
Speaker 3: and he will cover me, deliver me, protect me. Notice

247
00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:44,400
Speaker 3: the connection, I will say, and he will do. This

248
00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:48,560
Speaker 3: tells me if we're not saying of the Lord, he's

249
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:50,880
Speaker 3: not going to do what we're asking him to do.

250
00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:54,960
Speaker 3: If you will find the promises in the scripture and

251
00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:59,080
Speaker 3: say of the Lord. For instance, it says in third

252
00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:02,800
Speaker 3: John two that God wishes above all things that you

253
00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:06,320
Speaker 3: prosper and be in health. You can take that promise

254
00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:09,520
Speaker 3: and say, God, you said you wanted me to be healthy.

255
00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:12,839
Speaker 3: You said you wanted me to be prosperous. So I say,

256
00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:16,319
Speaker 3: of the Lord, you are my healer, You are my provider,

257
00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:19,480
Speaker 3: you are my waymaker, you are my vindicator, you are

258
00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:23,920
Speaker 3: my victory. When you start saying of the Lord, he

259
00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:27,840
Speaker 3: shall do. On the other hand, if we're not saying anything,

260
00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:31,280
Speaker 3: we're not releasing our faith. You could read the passage

261
00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:34,080
Speaker 3: in the reverse. I will not say of the Lord

262
00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:37,840
Speaker 3: and he will not do. Some of you today you

263
00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:41,760
Speaker 3: are not speaking enough victory over your life. You wonder

264
00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:44,760
Speaker 3: why you're not getting good breaks, why the situation is

265
00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:48,880
Speaker 3: not turning around. Are you declaring favor every day? Do

266
00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:51,400
Speaker 3: you get up every morning and say I am blessed,

267
00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:55,040
Speaker 3: I walk in divine health. The favor of God is

268
00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:59,800
Speaker 3: opening up new doors. I will fulfill my destiny. Well, hell, Joel,

269
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:02,840
Speaker 3: I'd love to do that. But I've got this sickness.

270
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:05,920
Speaker 3: I hadn't been feeling well. I just believe in telling

271
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:08,800
Speaker 3: it like it is now. I'm not saying to deny

272
00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:12,320
Speaker 3: the facts. I'm simply saying, get in agreement with God.

273
00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:17,040
Speaker 3: God said let the weak say I'm strong. He didn't say,

274
00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:20,040
Speaker 3: let the weak talk about the weakness. We're not supposed

275
00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:22,440
Speaker 3: to talk about the way we are. We're supposed to

276
00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:24,680
Speaker 3: talk about the way we want to be. Get in

277
00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:28,360
Speaker 3: agreement with God. If God says I'm more than a conqueror,

278
00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:31,040
Speaker 3: I may not feel like it, it may not look

279
00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:33,400
Speaker 3: like it. But if God says it, I'm gonna agree

280
00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:34,880
Speaker 3: with him. I'm going to say it too. I am

281
00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:39,000
Speaker 3: more than a conqueror. You may be struggling in your finances.

282
00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:42,280
Speaker 3: God says you will lend and not borrow. He said

283
00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:45,880
Speaker 3: you will run over with his favor. Your report needs

284
00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:48,840
Speaker 3: to be I am blessed. God is supplying all of

285
00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:52,160
Speaker 3: my needs. I have more than enough, and the scripture

286
00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:56,320
Speaker 3: says we will eat the fruit of our words. You

287
00:15:56,360 --> 00:15:58,960
Speaker 3: may not be where you want to be today, but

288
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:01,800
Speaker 3: could it be? Those are the words we've spoken in

289
00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:05,880
Speaker 3: the past. We've said things like I'll never rise any higher.

290
00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:08,720
Speaker 3: I've gone as far as I can go, and sure enough,

291
00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:11,480
Speaker 3: we've been stuck at the same place year after year.

292
00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:15,240
Speaker 3: Or maybe we've said I'll never break this addiction. I've

293
00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:17,960
Speaker 3: had it too long. It's too hard, and just like

294
00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:21,680
Speaker 3: we said it, it still controls us today. We need

295
00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:25,560
Speaker 3: to change what we're saying. Our attitude should be. This

296
00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:27,520
Speaker 3: may be the way it's been in the past, but

297
00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:30,160
Speaker 3: this is not the way it's staying. I'm coming up higher.

298
00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:34,200
Speaker 3: I may feel weak, but my declaration is I am strong.

299
00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:37,240
Speaker 3: I may have had this addiction for years, but I'm

300
00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:42,000
Speaker 3: declaring I am free. When you start saying of the Lord,

301
00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:45,240
Speaker 3: you are healthy, you are whole, you are free, you

302
00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:48,720
Speaker 3: are blessed, you are prosperous. When you say it, God's

303
00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:51,600
Speaker 3: promised he will do it. Well, you say, jeel, I've

304
00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:54,160
Speaker 3: been saying it for a long time, but I don't

305
00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:58,000
Speaker 3: see anything happening. Doesn't look like anything's changing. But the

306
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:03,000
Speaker 3: scripture says, hold fast the profession of your faith, for

307
00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:07,240
Speaker 3: he is faithful that promised. This is saying if you

308
00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:10,200
Speaker 3: will keep saying the right thing, if you will keep

309
00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:15,919
Speaker 3: speaking victory, speaking favor, speaking health and wholeness. God is faithful,

310
00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:19,879
Speaker 3: and those seeds that you're sowing you will reap in

311
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:22,919
Speaker 3: due season. You will eat the fruit of your words.

312
00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:26,480
Speaker 3: You remember when Jesus was walking through a town, he

313
00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:29,720
Speaker 3: got hungry. He went over to the fig tree to

314
00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:32,960
Speaker 3: get something to eat. But the tree was bear, didn't

315
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:35,800
Speaker 3: have any fruit on it, and Jesus spoke to the

316
00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:40,080
Speaker 3: tree and said, you will not produce fruit anymore. Other

317
00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:43,840
Speaker 3: people heard what he said, no doubt, they thought, that's strange,

318
00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:46,760
Speaker 3: that man's talking to a tree. They went over and

319
00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:50,040
Speaker 3: examined it. It didn't look any different. Jesus said it

320
00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:53,560
Speaker 3: would wither and die. They must have thought he's lost

321
00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:57,239
Speaker 3: his touch. Didn't work this time. It looks just the

322
00:17:57,280 --> 00:18:01,080
Speaker 3: same as before he said anything. But what they didn't

323
00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:05,800
Speaker 3: realize was in the unseen realm. The moment Jesus cursed

324
00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:09,720
Speaker 3: the tree, something happened in the root system. The life

325
00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:12,720
Speaker 3: was cut off. It was just a matter of time

326
00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:16,920
Speaker 3: before what happened on the inside showed up on the outside.

327
00:18:17,040 --> 00:18:19,400
Speaker 3: Sure enough, they came back a little later, and they

328
00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:22,960
Speaker 3: saw Jesus was exactly right. The tree was totally dead.

329
00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:27,040
Speaker 3: It's the same principle with us when we speak God's

330
00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:30,520
Speaker 3: word the moment his promises come out of your mouth.

331
00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:34,880
Speaker 3: In the unseen realm, something happens. You may not see

332
00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:37,480
Speaker 3: it for a week, or for a year, or even

333
00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:40,520
Speaker 3: ten years, but that doesn't mean it's not going to happen.

334
00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:45,280
Speaker 3: But too often we cancel out our promises by speaking

335
00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:49,479
Speaker 3: these negative words. We start off right, but over time

336
00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:53,320
Speaker 3: we don't see anything happening and we get discouraged. But

337
00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:57,439
Speaker 3: we cannot speak defeat and expect to have victory. You

338
00:18:57,480 --> 00:19:00,879
Speaker 3: can't talk sickness and expect to have hell. You can't

339
00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:04,479
Speaker 3: talk lack in poverty and expect to live an abundant life.

340
00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:08,800
Speaker 3: That's why it says hold fast the profession of your faith.

341
00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:11,640
Speaker 3: You've got to be determined that you're going to put

342
00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:14,480
Speaker 3: a watch over your mouth, and no matter how long

343
00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:17,320
Speaker 3: it's taken, no matter how bad it looks, you are

344
00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:20,639
Speaker 3: not going to give in and start speaking doubt and unbelieve.

345
00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:26,440
Speaker 3: Keep declaring favor over your finances, keep speaking victory over

346
00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:30,560
Speaker 3: that sickness, freedom over that addiction. Some of you you

347
00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:33,320
Speaker 3: need to shift into a new gear. You're not speaking

348
00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:36,920
Speaker 3: enough faith over your life. You've got big dreams. You've

349
00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:40,160
Speaker 3: got to declare favor in a big, big way. It's

350
00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:42,119
Speaker 3: not enough to say once a week, Oh God, I

351
00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:46,120
Speaker 3: hope you'll bless me this week, No every day, all day.

352
00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:49,440
Speaker 3: Underneath your breath, you should be saying, Father, I want

353
00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:52,199
Speaker 3: to thank you that your favor is surrounding me like

354
00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:55,280
Speaker 3: a shield. Thank you that your favor is opening up

355
00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:58,639
Speaker 3: doors that no man can shut. Your favor is bringing

356
00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:03,320
Speaker 3: supernatural opportunity, divine connections, causing me to be at the

357
00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:07,440
Speaker 3: right place at the right time, says in Zachariah chapter ten,

358
00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:12,639
Speaker 3: ask for rain in the time of rain. Rain in

359
00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:17,080
Speaker 3: the scripture represents God's favor. This says, ask for rain

360
00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:20,720
Speaker 3: even though it's raining. What does that mean If it's raining,

361
00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:23,080
Speaker 3: doesn't seem like you need to ask for it. But

362
00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:27,480
Speaker 3: God is saying, just because my favor is available, you're

363
00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:31,600
Speaker 3: not going to receive it unless you ask. Right now.

364
00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:37,600
Speaker 3: God is showering down blessings, healing, promotion, good ideas. It's

365
00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:41,720
Speaker 3: raining favor. Here's the key. If you don't get your

366
00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:45,960
Speaker 3: words going in the right direction and start calling favor in,

367
00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:51,000
Speaker 3: you're not going to experience it. Nothing happens unless we speak.

368
00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:54,879
Speaker 3: You've got to release your faith with your words. This

369
00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:57,919
Speaker 3: is a great day to be alive. God is pouring

370
00:20:57,960 --> 00:21:01,480
Speaker 3: out his favor like no other time in history. Right

371
00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:04,840
Speaker 3: now it is raining increase, it's raining good ideas, it's

372
00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:08,320
Speaker 3: reigning promotion. My encouragement to you is don't let it

373
00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:12,320
Speaker 3: pass you by. Instead of saying, ah, everybody gets blessed

374
00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:15,240
Speaker 3: except me. I don't know why they get good breaks

375
00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:18,399
Speaker 3: and I never do. No, start declaring it for yourself.

376
00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:22,199
Speaker 3: I am blessed, I am prosperous, I am favored, I

377
00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:25,679
Speaker 3: am healthy, I am free. You've got to ask for

378
00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:29,800
Speaker 3: rain in this time of rain. Sometimes we are our

379
00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:33,679
Speaker 3: own worst enemies. I heard somebody say the devil doesn't

380
00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:37,119
Speaker 3: have to defeat us, we defeat ourselves. Don't let that

381
00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:41,320
Speaker 3: be you. When you speak faith, you're in agreement with God.

382
00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:45,639
Speaker 3: When you speak defeat, you're in agreement with the enemy. Understand,

383
00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:50,200
Speaker 3: God talk brings God on the sin. Enemy talk brings

384
00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:53,360
Speaker 3: the enemy on the sin. All through the day, there

385
00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:56,960
Speaker 3: are two voices that compete for our attention, the voice

386
00:21:56,960 --> 00:22:00,600
Speaker 3: of faith and the voice of defeat. Hear a voice

387
00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:04,280
Speaker 3: saying you'll never rise any higher. You don't have what

388
00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:07,720
Speaker 3: it takes. You've reached your limits. If you listen carefully,

389
00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:11,280
Speaker 3: you'll hear another voice saying you are well able, you

390
00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:14,160
Speaker 3: can do all things through Christ. Your best days are

391
00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:18,360
Speaker 3: still up ahead. Now you get to choose which voice

392
00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:21,240
Speaker 3: comes to life. The way you do it is by

393
00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:25,160
Speaker 3: what you speak out. The moment you verbalize that thought,

394
00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:28,080
Speaker 3: you give it the right to come to pass. If

395
00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:31,199
Speaker 3: you're going around saying nothing good ever happens to me,

396
00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:34,560
Speaker 3: I'm not that talented, Joel, I'll probably never get out

397
00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:37,639
Speaker 3: of this problem. No, you are choosing the wrong voice.

398
00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:40,760
Speaker 3: You've got to get in agreement with God. That other

399
00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:44,280
Speaker 3: voice may be louder, but you can override it. You

400
00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:47,640
Speaker 3: can take away all of its power by simply choosing

401
00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:51,240
Speaker 3: the voice of faith. For instance, maybe you're going to

402
00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:54,000
Speaker 3: a job interview. One voice will tell you you're not

403
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:56,760
Speaker 3: gonna get it, you're not qualified, they're not gonna like you.

404
00:22:56,760 --> 00:22:59,719
Speaker 3: You're just wasting your time. If you'll listen, you'll hear

405
00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:03,040
Speaker 3: another voice saying you have the favor of God. You

406
00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:05,879
Speaker 3: are talented, you are creative, you have what it takes.

407
00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:08,600
Speaker 3: You are what they're looking for. If you get up

408
00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:11,440
Speaker 3: in the morning and you tell your spouse, I don't

409
00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:13,679
Speaker 3: really think ought to go on this interview. They're not

410
00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:16,320
Speaker 3: gonna like me. I don't think I'm qualified. I don't

411
00:23:16,359 --> 00:23:19,720
Speaker 3: think they're gonna choose me. No, with your own words,

412
00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:24,360
Speaker 3: you are sealing your fate. The scripture says, whose report

413
00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:27,199
Speaker 3: are you gonna believe? The report of victory or the

414
00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:31,640
Speaker 3: report of defeat. There's a battle taking place in our minds.

415
00:23:32,080 --> 00:23:34,240
Speaker 3: Now all through the day, we're gonna be tempted to

416
00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:37,000
Speaker 3: talk about how bad it is, talk about how we're

417
00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:39,119
Speaker 3: not going to get out of debt, talk about what

418
00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:42,240
Speaker 3: the medical report says. You've got to dig your heels

419
00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:45,000
Speaker 3: in and say no, I am not giving life to

420
00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:48,760
Speaker 3: that defeat. I am not speaking sickness. I'm not speaking lack.

421
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:52,840
Speaker 3: I'm not speaking fear. I'm choosing a different report. I

422
00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:55,399
Speaker 3: believe the report of the Lord, and it says I

423
00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:58,680
Speaker 3: am blessed, I am favored, I am prosperous, I am healthy,

424
00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:04,000
Speaker 3: I am whole, a victor, never a victima. Well, you say, Joel,

425
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:07,359
Speaker 3: I've got some major obstacles. I've got some big problems.

426
00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:09,880
Speaker 3: I don't see how it could ever work out. Let

427
00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:13,080
Speaker 3: me give you a key. Don't talk about your problems.

428
00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:16,520
Speaker 3: Talk to your problems. You've got to speak to those

429
00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:22,160
Speaker 3: mountains declare favor over those situations. Too often we talk

430
00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:25,320
Speaker 3: to God about how big our problems are. We should

431
00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:28,239
Speaker 3: be talking to our problems about how big our God is.

432
00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:31,399
Speaker 3: In the scripture, there's a man by the name of

433
00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:35,320
Speaker 3: Zeruba Bell. He had a major challenge. He was in

434
00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:39,520
Speaker 3: charge of rebuilding the temple. It looked impossible. Everything was

435
00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:43,080
Speaker 3: coming against him. He said in Zachariah four to seven,

436
00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:47,240
Speaker 3: who are you, o, great mountain that stands against me?

437
00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:52,000
Speaker 3: You shall become a plain, a mere mole hill, and

438
00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:55,960
Speaker 3: I will finish the temple by shouting grace grace to it.

439
00:24:56,840 --> 00:24:59,680
Speaker 3: Notice this is saying a mountain will be turned into

440
00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:03,080
Speaker 3: a moment old hell how by speaking grace to it.

441
00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:07,320
Speaker 3: Another word for grace is favor. In other words, he

442
00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:10,639
Speaker 3: went around talking to his mountains, saying, I've got the

443
00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:13,840
Speaker 3: favor of God. I can do all things through Christ.

444
00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:17,520
Speaker 3: I will fulfill my destiny. I love the way it starts.

445
00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:21,600
Speaker 3: Who are you, o, great mountain? He was saying, you

446
00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:24,600
Speaker 3: can't defeat me. Don't you know who I am. I

447
00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:28,400
Speaker 3: have an advantage. I have the favor of God. When

448
00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:31,240
Speaker 3: he looked at his mountain, he didn't get discouraged. He

449
00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:35,240
Speaker 3: knew it wasn't permanent. He understood this principle. He could

450
00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:38,800
Speaker 3: speak favor to his mountain, and God promised they would

451
00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:42,720
Speaker 3: become mere mole hills. In the same way, when you

452
00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:47,800
Speaker 3: face challenges, don't start talking defeat, don't start complaining. Dare

453
00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:51,720
Speaker 3: to do like he did and start declaring favor. You

454
00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:54,760
Speaker 3: may be struggling in your finances, get that checkbook out

455
00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:57,400
Speaker 3: and speak favor over it. You may have a child

456
00:25:57,480 --> 00:26:01,040
Speaker 3: that's not doing right, Speak favor over him. Perhaps a

457
00:26:01,119 --> 00:26:05,440
Speaker 3: situation at work is very difficult. Start speaking to that mountain.

458
00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:10,000
Speaker 3: If you will declare God's favor, He's promised your mountains

459
00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:14,000
Speaker 3: will turn into mohills. It's interesting when Moses was leading

460
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:16,880
Speaker 3: the people of Israel, they're through the wilderness and they

461
00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:21,080
Speaker 3: needed water. God told him to strike the rock, and

462
00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:23,880
Speaker 3: when he struck this rock, water began to flow out

463
00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:27,880
Speaker 3: of that. Some time later they needed water again. This

464
00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:31,080
Speaker 3: time God told him to speak to the rock. So

465
00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:33,560
Speaker 3: you know what Moses did. He went back to doing

466
00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:36,119
Speaker 3: it the old way, and he struck the rock again

467
00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:40,880
Speaker 3: and again. Eventually water did come out, but it took

468
00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:44,359
Speaker 3: a lot more effort than was needed. We do the

469
00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:47,840
Speaker 3: same thing today. We try to solve our problems all

470
00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:51,040
Speaker 3: in our own strength and make things work out. We're

471
00:26:51,080 --> 00:26:54,040
Speaker 3: trying to fix a child and correct something at work.

472
00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:58,439
Speaker 3: So stress, so frustrated. But God is saying, you don't

473
00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:02,080
Speaker 3: have to strike the rock anymore. My son came so

474
00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:05,240
Speaker 3: you could live an abundant life. Just speak to the rock,

475
00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:09,560
Speaker 3: just a clear favor over that situation. Get up every

476
00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:13,479
Speaker 3: day and say I am blessed. No weapon formed against

477
00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:16,280
Speaker 3: me is ever gonna prosper what is meant for my harm?

478
00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:21,520
Speaker 3: God's using to my advantage. This problem will not defeat me. Friends,

479
00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:24,639
Speaker 3: we don't have to live life frustrated. God wants you

480
00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:28,200
Speaker 3: to enter into an anointing of ease. If you'll get

481
00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:31,000
Speaker 3: your words going in the right direction, You're gonna see

482
00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:34,080
Speaker 3: obstacles that have held you back for years begin to

483
00:27:34,119 --> 00:27:37,560
Speaker 3: clear out of your path. You're gonna see family difficulties

484

Speaker 3: that look permanent begin to turn around. That situation at

485
00:27:41,320 --> 00:27:44,600
Speaker 3: work where you've been constantly struggling, God's gonna smooth it out,

486
00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:48,600
Speaker 3: giving you wisdom, favor, taking away the wrong people, bringing

487
00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:52,239
Speaker 3: in the right people, making your crooked places strength. Some

488
00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:54,560

489
00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:58,120
Speaker 3: time to speak to the rock. Don't talk about your problem.

490
00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:01,479
Speaker 3: Talk to your problem. Every morning when you wake up,

491
00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:05,080
Speaker 3: declare God's favor. Learn to call things that are not

492
00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:08,359
Speaker 3: as if they already are. Get in agreement with God.

493
00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:12,000

Speaker 3: of your mouth is one of the most powerful things

Speaker 3: you can ever do. And remember, it's not enough to

496
00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:18,440
Speaker 3: think it, it's not enough to believe it. You've got
