If you 3 00:00:07,120 --> 00:00:09,720 Speaker 1: enjoy today's message, why don't you be a blessing and 4 00:00:09,800 --> 00:00:12,440 Speaker 1: share it with a friend. We appreciate you and pray 5 00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:14,480 Speaker 1: for God's very best in your life. 6 00:00:15,040 --> 00:00:15,880 Speaker 2: God bless you. 7 00:00:16,239 --> 00:00:18,560 Speaker 1: It's great to be with you today, and I hope 8 00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:21,000 Speaker 1: you stay connected with us during the week through our 9 00:00:21,079 --> 00:00:25,160 Speaker 1: daily podcast, our YouTube channel, social media, and you can 10 00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:27,520 Speaker 1: come visit us in person. We'd love to have you 11 00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:30,200 Speaker 1: be a part of one of our services. I'd like 12 00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:32,559 Speaker 1: to start with something funny, and I heard about this 13 00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:36,200 Speaker 1: groom during the wedding rehearsal. He said to the minister, 14 00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:39,040 Speaker 1: I'll make a deal with you. If you'll leave out 15 00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:42,240 Speaker 1: all that honor, love and obey stuff, I'll give you 16 00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:45,320 Speaker 1: one hundred dollars. He's lipped one hundred dollar bill into 17 00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:48,519 Speaker 1: the minister's hand and walked away with a smile. The 18 00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:51,400 Speaker 1: next day, during the ceremony, the minister said to him, 19 00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:54,880 Speaker 1: do you promise to bow down before your wife, take 20 00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:58,760 Speaker 1: her breakfast in bed, fulfill her every desire? He gulped 21 00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:01,960 Speaker 1: in astonishment and in a weak voice, I do He 22 00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:03,520 Speaker 1: didn't whisper it in the minister's ear. 23 00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:04,880 Speaker 2: I thought we had a deal. 24 00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:08,000 Speaker 1: The minister handed him his money back and said, your 25 00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:10,000 Speaker 1: wife made me a much better offer. 26 00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:12,520 Speaker 2: Say it like you mean it. 27 00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:15,640 Speaker 1: This is my Bible. I am what it says I am. 28 00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:18,280 Speaker 1: I have what it says I have. I can do 29 00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:21,000 Speaker 1: what it says I can do. Today I will be 30 00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:25,000 Speaker 1: taught the word of God. I boldly confess. My mind 31 00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:28,319 Speaker 1: is alert, my heart is recepted. I will never be 32 00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:33,600 Speaker 1: the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you. Want to 33 00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:37,240 Speaker 1: talk to you today about fast forward. When we look 34 00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:40,360 Speaker 1: at the dreams we want to accomplish, in problems we're 35 00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:43,280 Speaker 1: hoping will turn around, it can seem like it's going 36 00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:46,360 Speaker 1: to take a long time. Years to get out of debt, 37 00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:49,720 Speaker 1: years to recover from a sickness, years to see the 38 00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:53,480 Speaker 1: business grow. But God doesn't always do things on a 39 00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:57,400 Speaker 1: normal timeline. The scripture talks about how he can do 40 00:01:57,440 --> 00:01:58,279 Speaker 1: a quick work. 41 00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:00,480 Speaker 2: He knows how to speed up. 42 00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:04,680 Speaker 1: He has these moments of favor where he will catapult 43 00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:09,400 Speaker 1: you ahead. Everything seems routine, going along at the same pace, 44 00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:13,760 Speaker 1: making the same progress. Then out of nowhere, one good break, 45 00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:17,280 Speaker 1: one contract, one door opens and you're twenty years down 46 00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:21,360 Speaker 1: the road. You didn't see it coming. You can't explain it. 47 00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:26,360 Speaker 1: It's God accelerating things, propelling you forward. When I'm watching 48 00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:30,000 Speaker 1: a movie at home, or I've recorded a ballgame it's 49 00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:32,320 Speaker 1: getting boring, or if I'm in a hurry, it's no 50 00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:35,399 Speaker 1: big deal. I pick up the remote control and hit 51 00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:39,359 Speaker 1: fast forward. Jumps it ahead, hit it again four times, 52 00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:43,360 Speaker 1: of speed again, eight times, then sixteen thirty two. It 53 00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:46,919 Speaker 1: can go sixty four times faster than normal. I can 54 00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:50,440 Speaker 1: watch a three hour ballgame in thirty minutes. The good 55 00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:54,160 Speaker 1: news is God has a fast forward button for your life. 56 00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:58,200 Speaker 1: Should take you thirty years to accomplish a dream, all 57 00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:01,000 Speaker 1: God has to do is hit fast forward. It'll happen 58 00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:03,880 Speaker 1: in a fraction of the time. I met a lady 59 00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:06,560 Speaker 1: in the lobby that was waiting for a liver transplant. 60 00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:09,520 Speaker 1: She was told it could take up to five years, 61 00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:11,320 Speaker 1: so many people in line in. 62 00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:11,880 Speaker 2: Front of her. 63 00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:15,720 Speaker 1: Problem was she didn't have five years. Her health was 64 00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:19,119 Speaker 1: declining so fast. I told her what I'm telling you, 65 00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:22,600 Speaker 1: that God is not limited by a normal timeline. 66 00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:24,280 Speaker 2: God controls time. 67 00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:27,440 Speaker 1: Three weeks later, she came back in the lobby and 68 00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:30,440 Speaker 1: I said, hey, I'm still believing with you. She said, no, Joel, 69 00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:34,080 Speaker 1: I've already had the transplant. They called her back the 70 00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:37,680 Speaker 1: next week. Her doctor said he had never seen anything 71 00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:42,680 Speaker 1: like that before. What happened, God hit fast forward. God 72 00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:47,160 Speaker 1: knows how to accelerate your dreams, accelerate your healing, accelerate 73 00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:48,440 Speaker 1: what you're believing for. 74 00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:50,320 Speaker 2: That's why you can't. 75 00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:53,800 Speaker 1: Judge your future based on the progress you've seen in 76 00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:57,680 Speaker 1: the past. God has the remote control. He has some 77 00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:01,440 Speaker 1: of these fast forward moments coming your way, things that 78 00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:02,880 Speaker 1: will catapult you ahead. 79 00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:06,400 Speaker 2: You can't explain it. You didn't see it coming. 80 00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:10,880 Speaker 1: But suddenly you get well, Suddenly you're in management, Suddenly 81 00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:14,160 Speaker 1: you break the addiction should have taken you a lifetime, 82 00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:15,160 Speaker 1: but God. 83 00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:15,920 Speaker 2: Hit fast forward. 84 00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:17,159 Speaker 1: He did a quick work. 85 00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:19,880 Speaker 2: For years, Lakewood was on. 86 00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:22,320 Speaker 1: The other side of town, and that area had gotten 87 00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:25,880 Speaker 1: a little run down and become more industrial. By the 88 00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:28,520 Speaker 1: grace of God, we moved into this place, the former 89 00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:34,160 Speaker 1: Compact Center. The Rockets basketball team won two World championships here, 90 00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:38,039 Speaker 1: so on the busiest freeway in Texas, two million people 91 00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:42,040 Speaker 1: a year had come into this building for sports and concerts. 92 00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:46,080 Speaker 1: That one move put us fifty years down the road, 93 00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:50,839 Speaker 1: in influence, in credibility, in respect. I had people that 94 00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:53,720 Speaker 1: wouldn't give me the time of day, treated me like 95 00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:57,200 Speaker 1: I was second class from that poor church across town, 96 00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:00,880 Speaker 1: those Holy rollers. When we got the compact sin, those 97 00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:03,840 Speaker 1: same people that ignored me, they'd come up and say, 98 00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:06,279 Speaker 1: can we come to your church? Will you save us 99 00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:09,120 Speaker 1: a seat? I said, sure, will, right up there by 100 00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:14,400 Speaker 1: the flag. But that one good break did more than 101 00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:17,560 Speaker 1: I could do on my own in my whole lifetime. 102 00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:22,400 Speaker 1: God has some of these fast forward moments for you. 103 00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:23,640 Speaker 2: You couldn't make it happen. 104 00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:27,400 Speaker 1: You couldn't change their mind, You couldn't make yourself get well. 105 00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:31,240 Speaker 1: It's the hand of God propelling you into your destiny. 106 00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:33,720 Speaker 2: He has the remote control. 107 00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:38,440 Speaker 1: Right now, you're on the verge of seeing acceleration, a 108 00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:42,400 Speaker 1: quick work. God's speeding things up. What should have taken 109 00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:46,400 Speaker 1: you years will happened in a fraction of the time. Hell, Joel, 110 00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:49,360 Speaker 1: I don't know, man, I feel stuck. I'm not making 111 00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:53,280 Speaker 1: much progress. My dream seems so far off. Now get 112 00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:56,279 Speaker 1: in agreement with God. You have to be a believer 113 00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:59,040 Speaker 1: and not a doubter. Father. I want to thank you 114 00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:02,640 Speaker 1: that acceler is coming my way. Thank you that you've 115 00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:07,000 Speaker 1: already lined up these fast forward moments that'll propel me 116 00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:11,080 Speaker 1: into my destiny. Acts chapter eight. Philip was in some 117 00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:15,480 Speaker 1: Maarya ministering. This angel came and told him to go 118 00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:18,560 Speaker 1: into the desert on the road that leads to Gossen. 119 00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:22,080 Speaker 1: He didn't know what it meant, but he obeyed. Along 120 00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:26,159 Speaker 1: came this Ethiopian man riding in a chariot. He was 121 00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:30,200 Speaker 1: the treasurer for the Queen of Ethiopia, a very respected. 122 00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:30,720 Speaker 2: And influential man. 123 00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:34,680 Speaker 1: While he was writing, he was reading out loud a 124 00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:38,040 Speaker 1: passage from the Book of Isaiah that talked about Jesus. 125 00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:41,760 Speaker 1: When Philip heard this, he walked alongside the man and 126 00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:44,159 Speaker 1: asked if he understood what it meant. The man said 127 00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:48,520 Speaker 1: he didn't. Philip started explaining to him about how Jesus came, 128 00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:51,479 Speaker 1: and how he died and rose again, and when we 129 00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:54,920 Speaker 1: believe in him we can have salvation. This man was 130 00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:58,000 Speaker 1: so excited he saw some water and said, I want 131 00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:02,000 Speaker 1: to get baptized right now. Got out and Philip baptized him. 132 00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:05,039 Speaker 1: When the man came up out of the water, the 133 00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:09,560 Speaker 1: scripture says the spirit of God caught Philip away, and 134 00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:13,240 Speaker 1: the man never saw Philip again. You can imagine what 135 00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:15,480 Speaker 1: the man thought. Came up out of the water and 136 00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:20,840 Speaker 1: suddenly Philip is gone. He's disappeared. Verse forty says Philip 137 00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:26,120 Speaker 1: found himself further in the city of Azotas. Azotas was 138 00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:30,360 Speaker 1: twenty miles from where they were. That defies logic. He's 139 00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:33,080 Speaker 1: here one moment and the next he's twenty miles away. 140 00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:37,760 Speaker 1: God has these times where you're gonna find yourself further. 141 00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:42,720 Speaker 1: You can't explain, it doesn't make sense, but God propels 142 00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:46,280 Speaker 1: you ahead. May not be twenty miles to another city, 143 00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:50,000 Speaker 1: but God propels you. In your career, should have taken 144 00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:52,760 Speaker 1: you years to build your business, but you. 145 00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:53,840 Speaker 2: Found yourself further. 146 00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:57,880 Speaker 1: God opened the doors, He brought the right people, gave 147 00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:01,560 Speaker 1: you ideas, caused you to stand out. Now you look 148 00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:03,800 Speaker 1: up and think, how did I get to a zodas? 149 00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:08,080 Speaker 1: So to speak? It was the God of acceleration. He's 150 00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:11,000 Speaker 1: going to propel you. In your health, We're supposed to 151 00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:13,880 Speaker 1: take a long time to get well. You'd made up 152 00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:16,520 Speaker 1: your mind in dure the treatment to make it through. 153 00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:20,280 Speaker 1: But God stepped in and sped things up. Did what 154 00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:25,160 Speaker 1: you couldn't do. Now you've found yourself further, healthy, whole, victorious. 155 00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:28,880 Speaker 1: Or you thought that legal problem would last for years. 156 00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:31,800 Speaker 1: The experts told you to not get your hopes up. 157 00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:34,959 Speaker 1: But God hit the fast forward button. He did a 158 00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:38,640 Speaker 1: quick work and you found yourself further. See, we look 159 00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:41,360 Speaker 1: at things in the natural. It should take this long 160 00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:44,040 Speaker 1: to get out of debt. If I work this many 161 00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:47,320 Speaker 1: hours and save this much, and the stock market does this, 162 00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:50,560 Speaker 1: my investments do that. And it's good to plan, it's 163 00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:51,440 Speaker 1: good to be wise. 164 00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:53,480 Speaker 2: But God is supernatural. 165 00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:56,920 Speaker 1: All he has to do is hit fast forward, and 166 00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:01,240 Speaker 1: you're twenty years down the road you find yourself. Here's 167 00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:01,600 Speaker 1: the key. 168 00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:04,559 Speaker 2: You can't calculate his goodness. 169 00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:09,600 Speaker 1: You can't quantify his blessings, his favor, his increase. There 170 00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:12,559 Speaker 1: are things he's already planned for you that are out 171 00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:17,120 Speaker 1: of the ordinarian uncommon. That's why he said lean not 172 00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:22,160 Speaker 1: to your own understanding. Don't look at your dreams, your problems, 173 00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:26,320 Speaker 1: that medical report just in the natural on your timeline. 174 00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:30,680 Speaker 1: God has another timeline. He has some fast forward moments 175 00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:34,839 Speaker 1: that are going to defy the odds acceleration you didn't 176 00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:39,200 Speaker 1: see coming. Good breaks that will catapult you ahead. You 177 00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:41,920 Speaker 1: look up and think, how did I get here? I 178 00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:45,040 Speaker 1: didn't have the training, I wasn't next in line, but 179 00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:48,840 Speaker 1: God catapulted you ahead. How did I break this addiction? 180 00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:51,920 Speaker 1: They said it's going to be years, but the chain 181 00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:55,480 Speaker 1: breaker stepped in. God said enough is enough, and you 182 00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:56,679 Speaker 1: found yourself further. 183 00:09:57,960 --> 00:09:59,719 Speaker 2: The prophet Ezekiel said. 184 00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:02,760 Speaker 1: The hand of the Lord was on me, and he 185 00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:06,920 Speaker 1: carried me. That word carried in the original language means 186 00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:12,720 Speaker 1: to shoot out, to launch forward. It implies acceleration. Now, 187 00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:15,640 Speaker 1: as God carries you through life, it's not always going 188 00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:20,760 Speaker 1: to be predictable routine. At the same pace, you're going 189 00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:23,120 Speaker 1: to come into these times where God is going to 190 00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:27,320 Speaker 1: propel you years down the road. You were going along fine, 191 00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:32,720 Speaker 1: making progress, being faithful. Then God hit fast forward out 192 00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:38,079 Speaker 1: of nowhere. You're thrust into levels you didn't see coming. Favor, influence, 193 00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:42,560 Speaker 1: opportunity that you've never imagined. When my father went to 194 00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:45,480 Speaker 1: be with the Lord, I had never ministered before, and 195 00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:48,040 Speaker 1: I liked being behind the scenes. 196 00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:49,080 Speaker 2: Doing the television production. 197 00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:51,640 Speaker 1: But I knew I was supposed to step up and 198 00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:56,240 Speaker 1: pasture the church. I called our contact at the cable network, 199 00:10:56,559 --> 00:11:00,199 Speaker 1: where my father had a national program for almost twenty years. 200 00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:03,199 Speaker 1: I told him that Daddy had died and we were 201 00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:06,360 Speaker 1: gonna have to cancel our airtime. I thought, I don't 202 00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:09,160 Speaker 1: know how to minister. I've never been to a seminary, 203 00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:11,960 Speaker 1: and I'm sure not gonna get on television. Nobody's gonna 204 00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:14,600 Speaker 1: listen to me. And I came home that night and 205 00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:17,280 Speaker 1: talking to Victoria, just casually, she said, what do you 206 00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:20,800 Speaker 1: do today? And I told her that I canceled our airtime. 207 00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:23,920 Speaker 1: She looked at me and said, listen here, Joel, you 208 00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:27,000 Speaker 1: need to call and get that time back. People are 209 00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:30,160 Speaker 1: watching to see what's going to happen to Lakewood. She 210 00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:33,280 Speaker 1: was so strong and so passionate about it. I knew 211 00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:37,440 Speaker 1: there was only one right answer. Yes, ma'am. 212 00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:39,719 Speaker 2: Airtime is very valuable. 213 00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:42,679 Speaker 1: It was a holiday weekend, so I called the first 214 00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:46,440 Speaker 1: thing Tuesday morning. The man said, Joel, this is so interesting. 215 00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:50,360 Speaker 1: I had the time sold on Friday. The contract was 216 00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:53,360 Speaker 1: on my desk, but something said to me, don't sign 217 00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:56,600 Speaker 1: it until next week. He gave us our time back. 218 00:11:57,360 --> 00:12:01,679 Speaker 1: We started airing my messages on television. Much to my surprise, 219 00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:06,760 Speaker 1: people started watching in record numbers. Other network started calling. 220 00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:08,840 Speaker 2: Three years later, we were. 221 00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:12,320 Speaker 1: On the top stations in all the major cities. I 222 00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:15,240 Speaker 1: was just hoping to keep things going. But God had 223 00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:19,960 Speaker 1: another plan, fast forward. He propelled me further than I 224 00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:24,800 Speaker 1: ever imagine. What am I saying? You don't know what 225 00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:28,439 Speaker 1: God has in store for you. He's been carrying you, 226 00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:32,600 Speaker 1: he's been sustaining you. But part of that carrying are 227 00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:37,160 Speaker 1: these times where God launches you forward, where he accelerates 228 00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:40,800 Speaker 1: your destiny. He puts your years down the road. You 229 00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:44,000 Speaker 1: may feel like you're not making much progress. It can 230 00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:46,760 Speaker 1: be discouraging at this rate. It's going to take so 231 00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:50,040 Speaker 1: long to get ahead, so long to get well, so 232 00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:53,120 Speaker 1: long for your child to get back on course. What 233 00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:57,080 Speaker 1: you can't see is God has the remote control. You 234 00:12:57,120 --> 00:13:00,760 Speaker 1: wouldn't be hearing this if he wasn't about to accelerate 235 00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:01,480 Speaker 1: some things. 236 00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:04,559 Speaker 2: Keep being faithful, keep honoring him. 237 00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:07,840 Speaker 1: He's about to hit fast forward and put your years 238 00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:11,200 Speaker 1: down the road. Friend of mine has a small business. 239 00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:14,800 Speaker 1: He's in the graphics industry, and for years it's just 240 00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:18,320 Speaker 1: been him and a couple of other employees. He's always 241 00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:21,120 Speaker 1: had bigger things in his heart, this dream to see 242 00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:24,520 Speaker 1: it grow and expand, and he's worked hard and gone 243 00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:25,560 Speaker 1: the extra mile. 244 00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:27,520 Speaker 2: But it seemed like he always hit a limit. 245 00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:30,960 Speaker 1: He'd make a little progress, then things would slow down. 246 00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:35,360 Speaker 1: Toots would tell him it's too late. What happened by now? 247 00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:39,000 Speaker 1: Just accept that it's not meant to be. But despite 248 00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:42,920 Speaker 1: not seeing anything change, he kept believing. He kept thanking 249 00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:46,760 Speaker 1: God that he was working. Last year, he picked up 250 00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:50,559 Speaker 1: one client that brought him more revenue in one year 251 00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:55,959 Speaker 1: than all the previous twenty years combined. His business has exploded, 252 00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:59,600 Speaker 1: has over three hundred employees. He said, Joel, I can't 253 00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:02,680 Speaker 1: explain ain't it. I don't know why this big company 254 00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:04,679 Speaker 1: chose my small firm. 255 00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:07,640 Speaker 2: You know why? God hit fast forward? 256 00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:11,520 Speaker 1: God said in Isaiah, I will make it happen quickly. 257 00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:15,600 Speaker 1: It may look like you're falling behind, it's too late 258 00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:19,520 Speaker 1: to accomplish your dream. Don't worry. God has the remote control. 259 00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:22,960 Speaker 1: He knows how to speed things up. He can do 260 00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:26,000 Speaker 1: things quickly. It's not going to be at the same 261 00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:30,960 Speaker 1: gradual pace your whole lifetime. Be grateful for where you are. 262 00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:33,000 Speaker 2: Stay faithful, but. 263 00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:36,160 Speaker 1: Don't let the fact that it's routine convince you that 264 00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:37,920 Speaker 1: it's always going to be that way. 265 00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:39,480 Speaker 2: Now, God has some. 266 00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:43,040 Speaker 1: Of these fast forward moments already on your schedule. 267 00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:46,480 Speaker 2: Genesis forty eight. Jacob was an. 268 00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:50,480 Speaker 1: Old man and about to pass. His son, Joseph, came 269 00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:53,360 Speaker 1: in to say his goodbyes. He brought with him his 270 00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:58,640 Speaker 1: two sons, Manassa and Ephrium. When Jacob saw his grandsons, 271 00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:02,240 Speaker 1: he called them over and hugged them. He said to Joseph, 272 00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:06,200 Speaker 1: I am adopting your two boys as my own sons. 273 00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:09,760 Speaker 1: They will inherit the same thing you and my other 274 00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:15,160 Speaker 1: sons inherent. What's interesting is these two boys were born 275 00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:19,840 Speaker 1: from an Egyptian mother. The Egyptians back then worshiped idols, 276 00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:23,760 Speaker 1: they didn't believe in Jehovah. Didn't seem like God would 277 00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:27,120 Speaker 1: have anything to do with them. But God doesn't hold 278 00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:31,560 Speaker 1: against you how you were raised, what family you come from. 279 00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:36,720 Speaker 1: There may have been dysfunction, people that compromised, made poor choices, 280 00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:40,120 Speaker 1: but that does not disqualify you. You can be the 281 00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:41,000 Speaker 1: difference maker. 282 00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:43,960 Speaker 2: You can be the one that says the new standard. 283 00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:49,320 Speaker 1: When Jacob said I'm adopting your two boys, this was significant. 284 00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:52,160 Speaker 2: They were grandsons, not sons. 285 00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:55,400 Speaker 1: They should have had to wait forty years to get 286 00:15:55,440 --> 00:16:00,120 Speaker 1: the inheritance from their father another generation. But because jac 287 00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:04,480 Speaker 1: adopted them. He put these two boys for decades down 288 00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:08,720 Speaker 1: the road, one good break, and they were a generation ahead. 289 00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:13,120 Speaker 1: God was showing us how he doesn't always follow a 290 00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:15,000 Speaker 1: normal timeline. 291 00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:17,480 Speaker 2: He has some blessings that are going to put you 292 00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:18,920 Speaker 2: a generation ahead. 293 00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:24,160 Speaker 1: Everything's in order, in line, routine, and then out of nowhere, 294 00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:28,400 Speaker 1: a generational blessing. The scripture says you will live in 295 00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:31,760 Speaker 1: houses that you didn't build, you will eat from vineyards 296 00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:32,600 Speaker 1: that you didn't plan. 297 00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:34,600 Speaker 2: Those are generational blessings. 298 00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:38,920 Speaker 1: To reach the fullness of your destiny is not going 299 00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:42,440 Speaker 1: to happen only at a normal pace. There are going 300 00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:46,320 Speaker 1: to be some of these fast forward moments favor that 301 00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:50,240 Speaker 1: catapult you ahead. Times like with Philip, that you find 302 00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:51,160 Speaker 1: yourself further. 303 00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:53,080 Speaker 2: You can't explain it. 304 00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:56,480 Speaker 1: You didn't earn it, It wasn't on your schedule. It 305 00:16:56,560 --> 00:17:00,520 Speaker 1: was the hand of God accelerating your destiny thrust you 306 00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:05,040 Speaker 1: years ahead. And yes, I know there are seasons of waiting, 307 00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:08,639 Speaker 1: times when we're not making any progressing. We have to 308 00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:11,600 Speaker 1: endure and do the right thing when nothing is changing 309 00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:15,960 Speaker 1: past those tests. But as God carries you, you're also 310 00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:19,280 Speaker 1: going to come in to these moments of favor where 311 00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:23,080 Speaker 1: he catapults you ahead. You feel like you're falling behind. 312 00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:26,520 Speaker 1: Then God hits fast forward. You are a grandson, so 313 00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:29,560 Speaker 1: to speak. But God steps in and says, I'm adopting 314 00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:32,720 Speaker 1: you as my son. He puts you a generation ahead, 315 00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:34,560 Speaker 1: forty years down the road. 316 00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:36,920 Speaker 2: You may have a situation now. 317 00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:40,080 Speaker 1: You don't see how it's gonna resolve, how you're gonna 318 00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:43,520 Speaker 1: accomplish the dream, how you're gonna get well, it's been 319 00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:44,240 Speaker 1: so long. 320 00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:47,879 Speaker 2: You don't know what God is up to. You don't 321 00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:49,000 Speaker 2: know when. 322 00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:51,879 Speaker 1: He's about to hit fast forward. What you think is 323 00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:55,760 Speaker 1: gonna take your whole lifetime Like these boys, God's gonna 324 00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:56,560 Speaker 1: do a quick work. 325 00:17:56,800 --> 00:17:58,920 Speaker 2: It's gonna happen in a fraction of the time. 326 00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:03,520 Speaker 1: December of two thousand and three, we leased this building 327 00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:06,479 Speaker 1: from the City of Houston for sixty years. 328 00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:08,840 Speaker 2: We always wanted to own it, but. 329 00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:12,440 Speaker 1: The least was the best option at the time. Deep down, 330 00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:15,800 Speaker 1: I knew sometime during those sixty years God would make 331 00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:18,720 Speaker 1: a way where we could purchase it. I was forty 332 00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:21,000 Speaker 1: years old at the time, and I didn't want to 333 00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:23,560 Speaker 1: be down at City Hall when I'm one hundred trying 334 00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:25,760 Speaker 1: to renew the lease and I need to be at 335 00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:29,679 Speaker 1: home taking care of my brother Paul. I said, God, 336 00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:33,520 Speaker 1: let me purchase it in my lifetime, not leave it 337 00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:33,840 Speaker 1: up in. 338 00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:35,280 Speaker 2: The air for the next generation. 339 00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:39,680 Speaker 1: Seven years into our sixty year lease, the city was 340 00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:43,080 Speaker 1: running low on tax revenue. They decided to sell off 341 00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:46,240 Speaker 1: some of their properties. The mayor called and asked if 342 00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:49,200 Speaker 1: we wanted to purchase the building. I said we did, 343 00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:52,080 Speaker 1: but it would depend on the price, and a building 344 00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:55,159 Speaker 1: like this now would be five hundred million dollars. She 345 00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:57,720 Speaker 1: said the city would do an appraisal and get back 346 00:18:57,720 --> 00:19:01,280 Speaker 1: with us. They had to appraise the property based on 347 00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:04,159 Speaker 1: the fact that our lease would still be honored, so 348 00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:08,240 Speaker 1: whoever purchased it wouldn't take possession for many years. The 349 00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:11,679 Speaker 1: appraisal came back, not at two hundred million, not one 350 00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:13,440 Speaker 1: hundred million, not fifty. 351 00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:16,160 Speaker 2: Not twenty five. They said, you can purchase it for. 352 00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:19,960 Speaker 1: Seven million dollars. We not only got it for an 353 00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:25,359 Speaker 1: unbelievable price, but what should have taken sixty years, God 354 00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:26,600 Speaker 1: did fifty. 355 00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:27,240 Speaker 2: Three years sooner. 356 00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:31,840 Speaker 1: We didn't see it coming. We didn't go after it. 357 00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:37,080 Speaker 1: The mayor called us, when God hits fast forward, you're 358 00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:40,800 Speaker 1: gonna see things that buggle your mind. You haven't seen, heard, 359 00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:44,399 Speaker 1: or imagine what He has in store for you. You 360 00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:46,720 Speaker 1: think it's gonna take thirty years to get out of debt. 361 00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:51,840 Speaker 1: You've run all the numbers, projected your income, calculated the payments. 362 00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:54,080 Speaker 1: By the time you're one hundred and twenty three, you're 363 00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:57,000 Speaker 1: gonna be debt free. You don't know what God is 364 00:19:57,119 --> 00:20:01,320 Speaker 1: up to. He's already lined up the fast forward moments. 365 00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:04,879 Speaker 1: He's already scheduled the right people to call you, the 366 00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:08,160 Speaker 1: good breaks to chase you down, favor that will catapult 367 00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:08,720 Speaker 1: you ahead. 368 00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:11,480 Speaker 2: David had these fast forward moments. 369 00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:14,360 Speaker 1: He was anointed by Samuel to be the next king 370 00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:17,040 Speaker 1: of Israel, but he didn't go to the palace. He 371 00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:20,040 Speaker 1: went back to the shepherd's fields. For years he took 372 00:20:20,080 --> 00:20:23,480 Speaker 1: care of his father's sheep. You can imagine the battle 373 00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:27,359 Speaker 1: taking place in his mind thought saying you were anointed, 374 00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:31,400 Speaker 1: Samuel chose you, Why are you still out here? Must 375 00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:35,560 Speaker 1: have been a mistake. You're falling behind. You can be anointed, 376 00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:39,680 Speaker 1: but not appointed yet. Don't try to take matters into 377 00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:43,320 Speaker 1: your own hands. Trust God's timing, let him do it 378 00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:47,200 Speaker 1: his way. When we think we're falling behind, it's easy 379 00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:50,920 Speaker 1: to get impatient, try to force things to happen. But 380 00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:54,040 Speaker 1: God knows how to make up for lost time. When 381 00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:57,680 Speaker 1: he hits fast forward, it will thrust you ahead. And 382 00:20:57,800 --> 00:21:02,280 Speaker 1: David kept being faithful. He didn't complain, he didn't get bitter, 383 00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:06,359 Speaker 1: He kept excelling right where he was. Eventually he was 384 00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:09,440 Speaker 1: called to the palace to play the heart for King Saul. 385 00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:13,199 Speaker 1: But Saul was jealous of David. He tried to kill him. 386 00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:16,480 Speaker 1: David had to flee for his life, lived out in 387 00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:20,080 Speaker 1: the desert on the run. The whole time he knew 388 00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:23,199 Speaker 1: God had anointed him, but there was no sign that 389 00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:26,600 Speaker 1: it was ever going to happen. Saul wasn't an old man. 390 00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:29,240 Speaker 1: He could have been the king for another fifty years. 391 00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:33,440 Speaker 1: Everything was routine out in the desert. David wasn't making 392 00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:37,439 Speaker 1: any progress, nothing changing. He was no closer to the 393 00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:41,680 Speaker 1: throne than he was thirteen years earlier when Samuel anointed him. 394 00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:45,119 Speaker 1: One day, when David and his men were away on 395 00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:49,240 Speaker 1: a trip, bandits came in and burned down their city, 396 00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:53,679 Speaker 1: stole all their possessions, kidnapped their wives and children. It 397 00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:57,680 Speaker 1: was the greatest defeat David had ever suffered. His men 398 00:21:57,760 --> 00:22:01,919 Speaker 1: were so distraught they talked about stone and sitting in 399 00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:04,879 Speaker 1: the ruins of his city. Something rose up in David. 400 00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:07,639 Speaker 1: He told his men to get ready. They were going 401 00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:11,240 Speaker 1: to go attack the enemy. They found them partying and 402 00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:15,399 Speaker 1: celebrating their victory. David surprised them. They went in and 403 00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:19,520 Speaker 1: defeated them. They recovered all their possessions, all their family, 404 00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:23,399 Speaker 1: and all their children. Three days later, word came to 405 00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:27,600 Speaker 1: David that King Saul and his son Jonathan were killed 406 00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:31,359 Speaker 1: in a battle. David was made the king. It looked 407 00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:35,120 Speaker 1: like that was decades away, but God hit fast forward. 408 00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:40,280 Speaker 1: Seventy two hours after David suffered his greatest attack, he 409 00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:43,679 Speaker 1: was made the king. When it feels like your dream 410 00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:46,440 Speaker 1: is a long way off, that's a sign that God 411 00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:49,359 Speaker 1: is up to something. He's about to do a quick work. 412 00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:54,080 Speaker 1: Don't let the circumstances fool you. How unlikely it is, 413 00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:58,480 Speaker 1: how impossible it looks. David was anointed to be king 414 00:22:58,880 --> 00:22:59,880 Speaker 1: when there was a man on. 415 00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:02,280 Speaker 2: The throne that could have been there for decades. 416 00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:07,360 Speaker 1: Saul was strong, healthy, had loyal followers. On top of that, 417 00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:11,880 Speaker 1: his son was next in line. All the circumstances said 418 00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:15,640 Speaker 1: David was stuck. It would be years and years But 419 00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:18,760 Speaker 1: God has a fast forward button. He knows how to 420 00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:23,239 Speaker 1: accelerate your destiny. When you're under attack and seems like 421 00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:26,920 Speaker 1: everything's coming against you, God is setting you up to 422 00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:30,200 Speaker 1: thrust you forward. A friend of mine wanted to buy 423 00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:32,679 Speaker 1: some property to build a school on. He had a 424 00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:36,280 Speaker 1: few acres, but he needed more. There were ten acres 425 00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:39,800 Speaker 1: behind him, connecting to his property in He had bought 426 00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:43,119 Speaker 1: his land for four thousand dollars an acre. When he 427 00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:47,199 Speaker 1: acquired about the new property, they wanted twenty five thousand 428 00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:49,760 Speaker 1: an acre, more than five times what he paid for 429 00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:53,919 Speaker 1: his He was disappointed. He needed more room to expand, 430 00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:57,960 Speaker 1: but no doors were opening. Year went by and nothing happened. 431 00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:02,240 Speaker 1: Another year, three years, four years. Looked like he was 432 00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:06,440 Speaker 1: falling behind. Thoughts told him it's too late. He'd missed 433 00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:10,159 Speaker 1: his chance. It would never happen now. But God knows 434 00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:13,320 Speaker 1: how to make up for lost time. He knows how 435 00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:16,359 Speaker 1: to take a grandson and adopt him as a son. 436 00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:20,960 Speaker 1: One good break will put you decades ahead. This is 437 00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:24,320 Speaker 1: where faith comes in. God. I don't see anything happening. 438 00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:27,679 Speaker 1: I feel like I'm stuck, but I believe you have 439 00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:31,199 Speaker 1: fast forward moments in my future. God, I believe that 440 00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:35,760 Speaker 1: acceleration is on the way. One day, a city official 441 00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:38,560 Speaker 1: came by his office and told him about one hundred 442 00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:41,359 Speaker 1: and twenty acres that was right out in front of 443 00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:44,480 Speaker 1: his property. It all had street frontage. It had been 444 00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:47,720 Speaker 1: foreclosed on five times. They had sold it and taken 445 00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:51,040 Speaker 1: it back again and again. He said, we've been authorized 446 00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:53,719 Speaker 1: to get rid of this. Make us an offer, and 447 00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:57,000 Speaker 1: we'll see what we can do. The property had nine 448 00:24:57,080 --> 00:24:59,560 Speaker 1: buildings on it that he could use for a school. 449 00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:03,000 Speaker 1: He offered the man two hundred thousand dollars. The man 450 00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:06,280 Speaker 1: shook his hand and said the property is yours. That 451 00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:10,280 Speaker 1: other party wanted two hundred and fifty thousand for ten acres. 452 00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:14,440 Speaker 1: He bought one hundred and twenty acres with nine buildings 453 00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:15,680 Speaker 1: for two hundred thousand. 454 00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:17,920 Speaker 2: That was a generational blessing. 455 00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:21,640 Speaker 1: He not only has property for his school, but there's 456 00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:25,639 Speaker 1: enough for the next generation to expand. What should have 457 00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:28,879 Speaker 1: taken him fifty years to acquire, God gave him in 458 00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:32,000 Speaker 1: a fraction of the time. It may seem like you're 459 00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:35,959 Speaker 1: falling behind, staying courage, God has some of these fast 460 00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:39,720 Speaker 1: forward moments for you. He's about to accelerate things in 461 00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:43,560 Speaker 1: your life. Like with Philip, You're gonna find yourself further 462 00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:49,000 Speaker 1: things you couldn't explain, like Manassa and Ephrium, generational blessing, 463 00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:53,120 Speaker 1: good breaks that will put you decades ahead. You may 464 00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:56,640 Speaker 1: have gone through disappointments. Nothing looks like it'll ever change. 465 00:25:57,119 --> 00:26:00,720 Speaker 1: Like David, you could be just seventy two hours from 466 00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:03,639 Speaker 1: seeing your greatest victory. Now, thoughts you will tell you 467 00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:06,200 Speaker 1: this is not for you. Today, you never get any 468 00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:09,240 Speaker 1: good breaks. You're stuck with you. Don't believe those lies. 469 00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:11,480 Speaker 1: God has the remote control. 470 00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:13,880 Speaker 2: He's about to do some quick works. 471 00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:17,040 Speaker 1: What looks like is a long way off. Get Ready 472 00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:19,240 Speaker 1: is going to happen sooner than you think. 473 00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:21,440 Speaker 2: I believe and declare. 474 00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:26,760 Speaker 1: Acceleration is come into your family. God is speeding things up, 475 00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:31,080 Speaker 1: the right people finding you, good breaks chasing you down, 476 00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:36,600 Speaker 1: Dreams come into past, healing, freedom, abundance sooner than you think. 477 00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:39,680 Speaker 2: In Jesus' name and if you receive it. 478 00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:43,600 Speaker 1: Can you say amen? I'd like to give you an 479 00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:47,040 Speaker 1: opportunity to make Jesus the lord of your life. Would 480 00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:50,760 Speaker 1: you pray with me? Just say, Lord, Jesus, I repent 481 00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:54,359 Speaker 1: of my sins. Come into my heart. I make you 482 00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:58,160 Speaker 1: my Lord and Savior.
