1
00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:03,200
Speaker 1: So great to have you with us today, and as

2
00:00:03,240 --> 00:00:05,960
Speaker 1: we enter into this spring season, just let it be

3
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:08,639
Speaker 1: a time of new beginnings, letting go of the all,

4
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:11,160
Speaker 1: getting ready for the new things God's going to do,

5
00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:13,320
Speaker 1: and just really believe you're going to come into a

6
00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:17,239
Speaker 1: blooming and a blossoming season. In Jesus' name, but God

7
00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:18,880
Speaker 1: bless you and enjoy the podcast.

8
00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:20,120
Speaker 2: Thank you, Lord.

9
00:00:20,200 --> 00:00:23,159
Speaker 3: We are excited to be in your presence in the

10
00:00:23,239 --> 00:00:26,560
Speaker 3: House of the Lord. Amen. Have you ever had an

11
00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:32,760
Speaker 3: opportunity presented to you and you said no, No, I

12
00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:33,400
Speaker 3: don't want.

13
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:34,800
Speaker 2: To do that, No, I can't do that.

14
00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:38,680
Speaker 3: Maybe you didn't think you were qualified, or maybe you

15
00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:41,400
Speaker 3: thought there was someone else better for the job, or

16
00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:43,880
Speaker 3: maybe you just didn't have the resources. You know, there's

17
00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:48,240
Speaker 3: numbers of reasons that we say no when certain opportunities

18
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:49,640
Speaker 3: present themselves.

19
00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:51,440
Speaker 2: But then have you.

20
00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:54,880
Speaker 3: Ever done that and then later got to thinking, Ugh,

21
00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:56,240
Speaker 3: what I say no for?

22
00:00:57,240 --> 00:00:59,840
Speaker 2: I wish I'd have done that. Maybe I could have

23
00:00:59,880 --> 00:01:00,360
Speaker 2: done that.

24
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:06,760
Speaker 3: Have you ever wrestled with the no before thinking maybe

25
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:11,600
Speaker 3: I could, Oh, maybe I should. You see, I'll never

26
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:14,280
Speaker 3: forget one time when Joel's father was the pastor of

27
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:17,080
Speaker 3: the church back in the old building and we were

28
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:19,840
Speaker 3: worshiping God. It was in the middle of our worship,

29
00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:22,640
Speaker 3: just like we were doing today. My hands were up,

30
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:26,720
Speaker 3: I was praising God. When I opened my eyes, Joel's

31
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:29,880
Speaker 3: father had turned around in his seat and looked at

32
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:33,600
Speaker 3: me and said, Victoria, why don't you go up and

33
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:38,839
Speaker 3: do the prayer time? Well, he wasn't talking about next

34
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:41,880
Speaker 3: week or the next week. He was talking about the

35
00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:45,319
Speaker 3: end of the song that was just about over. I'm

36
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:47,600
Speaker 3: sure I looked at him because I had never even

37
00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:51,040
Speaker 3: remotely given him the thought that I wanted to get

38
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:52,840
Speaker 3: on the platform and do the prayer time. I don't

39
00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:56,880
Speaker 3: even know where he got that, but I'll never forget

40
00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:02,920
Speaker 3: chuckling with a nurse of his life. And I said, uh, daddy, O,

41
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:09,680
Speaker 3: I don't think so, you know, in his sweet gentle way.

42
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 2: He just smiled at me.

43
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:15,639
Speaker 3: He turned around, and he never said anymore to me

44
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:19,919
Speaker 3: during that service. You know, I remember standing there thinking

45
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:21,200
Speaker 3: I didn't need to get out of here.

46
00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:26,520
Speaker 2: But when I got home, I was wrestling with that.

47
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:26,720
Speaker 1: No.

48
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:31,560
Speaker 3: I was so disappointed in myself, and really, quite frankly,

49
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:35,280
Speaker 3: I was mad at myself because I thought to myself.

50
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:39,240
Speaker 2: If if he thought I could do it. Why do

51
00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:40,640
Speaker 2: I think that I can't do it?

52
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:44,040
Speaker 3: If someone has faith in me, why don't I have

53
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:47,640
Speaker 3: faith in myself? And I went back, and I went forth,

54
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:50,760
Speaker 3: and I went back and I went forth. And as

55
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:55,520
Speaker 3: I was wrestling with that, I realized that that no

56
00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:01,480
Speaker 3: just wasn't satisfactory to me. So I begin to dig deep,

57
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:05,320
Speaker 3: because on the inside of me, I realized there was

58
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:09,440
Speaker 3: a yes, but it was buried under fear. It was

59
00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:12,959
Speaker 3: buried under the pretense that I could not do it.

60
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:16,160
Speaker 3: It was buried under the thought, why does anybody need

61
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:19,520
Speaker 3: to hear from me? You see, that no was not

62
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:23,200
Speaker 3: satisfactory to me. So I begin to dig up my yes,

63
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:25,760
Speaker 3: and I begin to say, I don't want to.

64
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:28,639
Speaker 2: Do it, God help me do it. God, don't want

65
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:33,440
Speaker 2: to give you my yes. And through that struggle, I

66
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:34,680
Speaker 2: had to make a decision.

67
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:37,320
Speaker 3: Was I just gonna have one foot in and one

68
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 3: foot out, or was I gonna make a firm decision

69
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:42,840
Speaker 3: and say the next time he asked me, if he

70
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 3: ever does, I'm gonna prepare and I'm.

71
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 2: Gonna be ready.

72
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:50,920
Speaker 3: So every time I'd go to church, I'd be praising

73
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:53,320
Speaker 3: with one I opened say, maybe not.

74
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:55,480
Speaker 2: Today, Lord, but not today.

75
00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 3: Lord.

76
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:02,600
Speaker 2: You know, he did ask me again. He did ask

77
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:04,640
Speaker 2: me again. And you know what I did.

78
00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:08,640
Speaker 3: I mustered up that great, big yess and I got

79
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:13,440
Speaker 3: up and I did the prayer time. You see what

80
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 3: that yes did for me. It kicked in God's grace.

81
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:22,720
Speaker 3: It caused me to begin to rely on God. I prepared,

82
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:26,440
Speaker 3: but then I allowed the grace of God to work

83
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:29,960
Speaker 3: in me and work through me. There's a scripture that

84
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 3: says that God is working in us to will and

85
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:37,640
Speaker 3: to do his good pleasure. When you realize that you

86
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:40,760
Speaker 3: don't have to do everything on your own, and if

87
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:43,719
Speaker 3: it gets done, it's only because of your ability, when

88
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:47,240
Speaker 3: you realize that is not always the case, but that

89
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:49,080
Speaker 3: it's God who's working in you.

90
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:51,120
Speaker 2: It's God who's preparing you.

91
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:56,159
Speaker 3: If you will get into agreement with God, God.

92
00:04:55,920 --> 00:05:00,760
Speaker 2: Can do amazing things in our lives. But God needs

93
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:04,160
Speaker 2: our yes. He needs to hear our yes.

94
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:09,680
Speaker 3: When I think about how that yes kicked in and

95
00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:13,200
Speaker 3: gave me the power to be able to do that,

96
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:15,600
Speaker 3: it was It was a very much of a learning

97
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:19,800
Speaker 3: experience for me because see, I didn't realize at the

98
00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:24,000
Speaker 3: time that God was up to something. But when I

99
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:28,160
Speaker 3: look back, I realized that that yes was one step

100
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:33,000
Speaker 3: closer to my destiny. That yes was one step closer

101
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:34,479
Speaker 3: to the next step.

102
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:36,800
Speaker 2: Now, the truth is, I don't.

103
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 3: Know how many times I ever got back up on

104
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:41,280
Speaker 3: the platform when Daddy was there, But I'll tell you

105
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:45,840
Speaker 3: what that experience gave me, the courage and the boldness

106
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:50,480
Speaker 3: when God asked me yes again. Listen, if you're struggling

107
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:53,920
Speaker 3: with a yes today, if you're struggling between yes and

108
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:56,800
Speaker 3: no when God talks to you, maybe you don't think

109
00:05:56,839 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 3: you're equipped, Maybe you don't have the right resources. Maybe

110
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:03,400
Speaker 3: there's a plethora of reasons that you can make excuses.

111
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:06,760
Speaker 2: Can I tell you make a decision, just.

112
00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:09,240
Speaker 3: Settle it in your mind. If God wants me to

113
00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:11,640
Speaker 3: do it, I'm gonna give him my guests, and.

114
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:15,440
Speaker 2: I'm gonna prepare and move forward.

115
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:18,119
Speaker 3: Because let me tell you something, Just like my father

116
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:20,919
Speaker 3: in law asked me and I said no, he didn't

117
00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:24,359
Speaker 3: hold that no against me, and your heavenly Father is

118
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:27,000
Speaker 3: not gonna hold that no against you. You may have

119
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:29,839
Speaker 3: said no time and time again, but I can tell you,

120
00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:33,279
Speaker 3: just like my father in law, God's gonna ask you again.

121
00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:37,440
Speaker 3: He's gonna ask you again. So I encourage you to

122
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:41,839
Speaker 3: make a decision to give God your yes. Hold on

123
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:44,840
Speaker 3: to the promises of God. Listen to what it says

124
00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:48,039
Speaker 3: in Second Corinthians one twenty. It says, for no matter

125
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:52,480
Speaker 3: how many promises God has made, they are yes in Christ.

126
00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:58,560
Speaker 3: And so through Him we speak the Amen. Through him

127
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:03,760
Speaker 3: who speaks the Amias, who speaks the yes, we speak

128
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:08,479
Speaker 3: the yes. God's promises are gonna stand forever. They will remain.

129
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:12,440
Speaker 3: But He is looking for us to say yes. He

130
00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:13,360
Speaker 3: is looking for.

131
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:16,200
Speaker 2: Us to take that step of faith, to say God,

132
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:18,880
Speaker 2: I'm all in no matter what it looks like.

133
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:24,800
Speaker 3: Hey, what in the world does yes look like to

134
00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:28,040
Speaker 3: you today? What does it look like to you today?

135
00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:33,080
Speaker 3: What does your yes look like when you think about God? Yes, God,

136
00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:37,640
Speaker 3: I am going to forgive the people that hurt me. Yes, God,

137
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:42,200
Speaker 3: I am going to trust you in this very difficult time. God,

138
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:45,120
Speaker 3: I am all in with you, God, knowing that you

139
00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:50,720
Speaker 3: can bring about favor in my situation. Yes, God, I

140
00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:53,520
Speaker 3: want to begin to reach out to people. Even if

141
00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:56,160
Speaker 3: I don't feel like I have time. God, I know

142
00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:59,600
Speaker 3: that you can make up that time for me. Maybe

143
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:02,480
Speaker 3: you just need to surrender some things in your life

144
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:05,160
Speaker 3: and say yes, God, it is time for you to

145
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:07,480
Speaker 3: work through me. I'm gonna quit try to doing it

146
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:09,600
Speaker 3: on my own and God, I'm just gonna say yes

147
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:12,120
Speaker 3: to you. I'm gonna take that step of faith God

148
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:14,520
Speaker 3: and let you open those supernatural doors for me.

149
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:18,520
Speaker 2: What does your yes look like today?

150
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:22,240
Speaker 3: Because God is waiting on you to get into agreement

151
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:22,840
Speaker 3: with him.

152
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:24,360
Speaker 2: And as soon as.

153
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:27,280
Speaker 3: You say yes to God, guess what the grace of

154
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:30,239
Speaker 3: God kicks in. You. See, you're not on your own.

155
00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:32,680
Speaker 3: God doesn't want you to do it on your own.

156
00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:36,319
Speaker 3: God wants you to do it with him, in partnership

157
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:39,160
Speaker 3: and agreement with him. And you know what, you can

158
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:43,120
Speaker 3: say yes. I think about the Saints of old. They

159
00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:46,160
Speaker 3: wavered in there yes, They wavered in their no. One

160
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:50,440
Speaker 3: day they were believers, the next day they were denying Jesus. Listen,

161
00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:54,600
Speaker 3: God is not gonna hold your no against you, but

162
00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:58,400
Speaker 3: make some firm decisions to say, I am gonna trust

163
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:00,959
Speaker 3: God in this, no matter what it looks like, no

164
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:02,960
Speaker 3: matter how scared I am, no.

165
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:06,920
Speaker 2: Matter how buried that yes is in my spirit.

166
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:09,320
Speaker 3: I'm gonna dig it up. I'm gonna work it out.

167
00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:12,200
Speaker 3: Because the Bible talks about this. It says, you have

168
00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:15,640
Speaker 3: to hold fast your profession of faith. You have to

169
00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:19,199
Speaker 3: hold fast that yes. See that indicates that something is

170
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:21,319
Speaker 3: gonna try to take that yes from you.

171
00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:24,120
Speaker 2: And we're very well aware.

172
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:28,160
Speaker 3: That time tries to steal our yes. People try to

173
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:32,440
Speaker 3: steal our yes. All these nose and shut doors try

174
00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:35,839
Speaker 3: to steal our yes. But you know what, we're gonna

175
00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:38,600
Speaker 3: have to step over a lot of nose and hold

176
00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:39,720
Speaker 3: fast to that yes.

177
00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:41,040
Speaker 2: Hold it tight.

178
00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:45,360
Speaker 3: See, it's not just in your ability, it's in God's

179
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:51,000
Speaker 3: ability through you. It's in him opening supernatural doors. Can

180
00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:54,080
Speaker 3: I tell you is it gonna be easy? Absolutely not?

181
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:55,480
Speaker 3: Is it worth it?

182
00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:57,160
Speaker 2: Absolutely it is.

183
00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:00,640
Speaker 3: God is a god of miracles, and he wants to

184
00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:04,760
Speaker 3: take you step by step, but he needs your amen,

185
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:06,800
Speaker 3: He needs your agreement.

186
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:08,479
Speaker 2: Think about Noah.

187
00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:11,840
Speaker 3: When God came to Noah and spoke to Noah and said, Noah,

188
00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:14,960
Speaker 3: I want you to build an arc. Noah had no

189
00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:18,080
Speaker 3: idea first off, what a boat was, what an arc was,

190
00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:22,280
Speaker 3: because no one had seen rain, It had literally never rained.

191
00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:27,080
Speaker 3: The theologian said, but you know what Noah did? He said, yes, God,

192
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:32,559
Speaker 3: So he was fighting the odds because no one had

193
00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:35,080
Speaker 3: ever seen rain, and no one wanted to get into

194
00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:37,920
Speaker 3: agreement with his yes. But he said, I'm going to

195
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:39,680
Speaker 3: stay in agreement with God.

196
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:40,040
Speaker 2: Yes.

197
00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:44,080
Speaker 3: And he kept building that arc. It took years and years.

198
00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:48,439
Speaker 3: People made fun of him. They even said Noah is crazy,

199
00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:50,720
Speaker 3: He and his family are crazy people.

200
00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:52,559
Speaker 2: But what did Noah keep doing.

201
00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:56,840
Speaker 3: He kept pounding the nails, He kept saying yes in

202
00:10:56,880 --> 00:10:58,199
Speaker 3: his obedience to God.

203
00:10:58,760 --> 00:10:59,920
Speaker 2: And let me tell you something.

204
00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:04,080
Speaker 3: Noah's arc stands as a monument today, a sign of

205
00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:08,800
Speaker 3: God's goodness, a sign of God's agreement. You see, we

206
00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:12,080
Speaker 3: are in covenant with this great God, and he wants

207
00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:16,360
Speaker 3: your yes. I have a friend of mine who who

208
00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:20,160
Speaker 3: has a large family, many siblings, and she made a

209
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:23,240
Speaker 3: decision to say yes to God in a new way.

210
00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:25,319
Speaker 3: And what I mean by that is she was gonna

211
00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:28,040
Speaker 3: let go of some of her past habits and she

212
00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:30,160
Speaker 3: was going to start serving God in a fresh, new

213
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:33,560
Speaker 3: way because He had given her an impression to do

214
00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:34,360
Speaker 3: it differently.

215
00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:38,520
Speaker 2: Well, let me tell you something. Her family didn't think

216
00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:39,439
Speaker 2: that was so keen.

217
00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:43,079
Speaker 3: In fact, they made ugly remarks to her. They literally

218
00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:46,920
Speaker 3: quit inviting her to certain gatherings because she had a

219
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:48,200
Speaker 3: new commitment to God.

220
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:52,199
Speaker 2: But can I tell you. She stayed faithful to her commitment.

221
00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:55,679
Speaker 3: She held on tight to that yes even when she

222
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:59,440
Speaker 3: wasn't invited to things. She continued to be kind to

223
00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:02,240
Speaker 3: her family, show love, and when they did advite her,

224
00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:06,760
Speaker 3: she showed up with all of her blessings to them.

225
00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:10,400
Speaker 3: Can I tell you today? After years and years of

226
00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:13,400
Speaker 3: holding on to that yes, stay and committed making that

227
00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:16,840
Speaker 3: decision even when it was tough, even when it would

228
00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:18,240
Speaker 3: have been easier.

229
00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:18,839
Speaker 2: To go back.

230
00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:23,920
Speaker 3: Her yes stands as an anchor of hope to her family,

231
00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:27,520
Speaker 3: and many of them have come back to Jesus Christ

232
00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:29,080
Speaker 3: because of that yes.

233
00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:32,959
Speaker 2: Is our yes always easy?

234
00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:34,880
Speaker 1: No?

235
00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:38,760
Speaker 3: But our yes is always worth it When we serve

236
00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:39,640
Speaker 3: a mighty God.

237
00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:42,920
Speaker 2: Get up every day, reconfirm your yes.

238
00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:46,400
Speaker 3: Yes God, I am yours. Yes God, What do you

239
00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:49,319
Speaker 3: want me to do today? Yes, God, I will trust you,

240
00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:52,200
Speaker 3: I will forgive, I will take that step of faith.

241
00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:52,720
Speaker 4: God.

242
00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:56,800
Speaker 3: I believe that when I get into agreement with you, You're

243
00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:57,960
Speaker 3: gonna do what I can't do.

244
00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:03,000
Speaker 2: You're gonna do the impossible. Amen. Hey man, Thank you Lord.

245
00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:04,080
Speaker 2: We praise you.

246
00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:08,720
Speaker 4: When God created the world, he did it specifically with

247
00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:13,280
Speaker 4: you in mind. He used his words, he spoke everything

248
00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:23,000
Speaker 4: into existence, light, oceans and dry land, plants, sun and stars, animals,

249
00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:28,840
Speaker 4: man and woman. Your words have that same creative power.

250
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:31,520
Speaker 1: If you want to know what you're going to be

251
00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:34,520
Speaker 1: like five years from now, listen to what you're saying

252
00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:38,920
Speaker 1: about yourself. You are prophesying your future, and too often

253
00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:43,120
Speaker 1: we don't realize we're defeating ourselves with our words. I'll

254
00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:47,600
Speaker 1: never get healthy, I'm not attractive, this dreams impossible. Instead

255
00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:50,880
Speaker 1: of limiting your future, why don't you start blessing your future.

256
00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:54,000
Speaker 1: If you'll change your words, you can change your world.

257
00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:57,560
Speaker 1: I have a new book called Speak the Blessing. It

258
00:13:57,640 --> 00:14:01,240
Speaker 1: want to help you to speak positive, faithful words. There

259
00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:04,240
Speaker 1: are declarations in it that you can make over your family,

260
00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:08,120
Speaker 1: your health, your finances, and your future. When you get

261
00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:11,160
Speaker 1: your words aligned with what God says, you'll see his

262
00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:12,840
Speaker 1: favor in greater ways.

263
00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:15,840
