I like to start with 48 00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:16,079 Speaker 4: something funny. And I heard about this husband that died 49 00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:20,320 Speaker 4: and he left his wife twenty thousand dollars. After the funeral, 50 00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:22,560 Speaker 4: his wife told a friend that she was totally broke. 51 00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:24,760 Speaker 4: Friends said, what do you mean you broke? Thought you 52 00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:27,600 Speaker 4: said you had twenty thousand. She said, well, I spent 53 00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:31,200 Speaker 4: five thousand on the funeral and fifteen thousand on the 54 00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:34,720 Speaker 4: memorial stone. Friend said, wow, that's some kind of stone. 55 00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:37,160 Speaker 4: How big was it? She held up her finger and said, 56 00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:41,440 Speaker 4: three and a half carrots. Hold up your bible, say 57 00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:44,280 Speaker 4: it like you mean it. This is my Bible. I 58 00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:46,640 Speaker 4: am what it says. I am. I have what it 59 00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:49,080 Speaker 4: says I have. I can do what it says I 60 00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:52,079 Speaker 4: can do. Today I will be taught the word of God. 61 00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:56,639 Speaker 4: I boldly confess. My mind is alert, my heart is receptive. 62 00:02:56,919 --> 00:03:00,480 Speaker 4: I will never be the same. In Jesus' name, God 63 00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:03,840 Speaker 4: bless you. I want to talk to you today about 64 00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:07,600 Speaker 4: the second touch. In the scripture, some people brought a 65 00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:10,760 Speaker 4: blind man to Jesus. He'd never been able to see. 66 00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:14,280 Speaker 4: Jesus made some mud in his hands and put it 67 00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:18,680 Speaker 4: on the man's eyes. Instantly, his eyes were opened. You 68 00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:22,000 Speaker 4: can imagine how thrilled he was. For the first time 69 00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:25,160 Speaker 4: he could see light and color, the sky and people. 70 00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:29,960 Speaker 4: He was overcome with excitement. His life had just totally changed. 71 00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:34,440 Speaker 4: Then Jesus asked him an interesting question. He said, what 72 00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:38,280 Speaker 4: do you see? It's as if Jesus knew something wasn't 73 00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:42,400 Speaker 4: perfectly right. The man answered back, I can see, but 74 00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:46,680 Speaker 4: I see men walking as trees. He was saying, I'm 75 00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:50,320 Speaker 4: grateful that I can see, but it's all blurry. I'm 76 00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:52,960 Speaker 4: thankful that I have any sight. I'm not complaining, but 77 00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:57,000 Speaker 4: everything is out of focus. Jesus could have walked away 78 00:03:57,440 --> 00:03:59,720 Speaker 4: and said, well, I made it much better. Be on 79 00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:02,280 Speaker 4: your have a great life. That could have been the 80 00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:05,880 Speaker 4: end of the story. But God didn't come to just 81 00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:09,640 Speaker 4: make you better, make you get by, make you okay. 82 00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:16,120 Speaker 4: He came to make you totally whole, to live an abundant, healthy, happy, free, 83 00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:21,760 Speaker 4: victorious life. The scripture says Jesus touched the blind man again. 84 00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:26,800 Speaker 4: On this second touch, his eyes were completely healed. Everything 85 00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:30,760 Speaker 4: came into focus. Now he had perfect vision. Many of 86 00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:34,800 Speaker 4: us are like this blind man. We've seen God's goodness. 87 00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:37,800 Speaker 4: He's helped to get us to where we are. We're 88 00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:41,760 Speaker 4: grateful even though we haven't accomplished our dream, even though 89 00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:44,680 Speaker 4: we haven't broken the addiction, even though the child is 90 00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:48,039 Speaker 4: off course, We're thankful for what God has done. We 91 00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:50,080 Speaker 4: can say, like the blind man, He's made it a 92 00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:54,040 Speaker 4: whole lot better. While we should be content where we are, 93 00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:59,880 Speaker 4: we shouldn't be satisfied with mediocrity. Too often we settle 94 00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:03,960 Speaker 4: less than God's best, thinking, I'll never break this addiction, 95 00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:06,960 Speaker 4: but at least I've learned to live with it. I'll 96 00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:09,360 Speaker 4: never get married, but at least I have a few friends. 97 00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:11,880 Speaker 4: I'll never get out of debt, Joe, but at least 98 00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:14,480 Speaker 4: I can pay my bills. You're right where this blind 99 00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:18,040 Speaker 4: man was saying. It's all blurry, but at least I 100 00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:22,760 Speaker 4: can see something. I'm not gonna complain. I'm satisfied with better. 101 00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:27,200 Speaker 4: Here's the key. You may be satisfied, but God is 102 00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:31,599 Speaker 4: not satisfied. He has a second touch come in your way. 103 00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:35,239 Speaker 4: The second touch is when you come totally out of debt, 104 00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:38,800 Speaker 4: when you're free from the addiction, when the medical report 105 00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:41,919 Speaker 4: says no more sickness, when your whole family comes to 106 00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:45,520 Speaker 4: know the Lord. The second touch is when God opens 107 00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:49,039 Speaker 4: doors you never dreamed would open, when He amazes you 108 00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:53,880 Speaker 4: with his goodness. Don't be satisfied with better, be grateful 109 00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:56,920 Speaker 4: for what God has done, but keep your faith stirred 110 00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:59,400 Speaker 4: up for the fullness of what you're believing. 111 00:05:59,440 --> 00:05:59,520 Speaker 2: For. 112 00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:03,599 Speaker 4: God did not create us to reach half of our destiny. 113 00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:08,320 Speaker 4: Three fourths ninety percent. What he started in your life, 114 00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:11,400 Speaker 4: he's going to bring to completion. And I'm not just 115 00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:13,560 Speaker 4: trying to encourage you, trying to get your hopes up. 116 00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:17,760 Speaker 4: I'm prophesying a second touch is coming your way. When 117 00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:20,839 Speaker 4: this second touch kicks in, you're going to see favor 118 00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:24,320 Speaker 4: that you've never seen. The right people are going to 119 00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:28,560 Speaker 4: show up, freedom from strongholds, a new level of your destiny. 120 00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:31,960 Speaker 4: Now you have to receive this into your spirit. You 121 00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:35,000 Speaker 4: have to let the seed take root. You can't go 122 00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:38,240 Speaker 4: around thinking you've reached your limits. You'll never get well, 123 00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:41,840 Speaker 4: never get promoted, Joel, I'll never see clearly. It's been 124 00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:46,159 Speaker 4: blurry for so long. Thinking like that will stop God's best. 125 00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:51,800 Speaker 4: Quit declaring defeat over your life. Quit prophesying mediocrity. It 126 00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:54,159 Speaker 4: may be blurry right now, but It is not a 127 00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:57,719 Speaker 4: surprise to God. He's not scratching his head thinking why 128 00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:00,920 Speaker 4: didn't they get clear vision. He controls the whole universe. 129 00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:04,800 Speaker 4: He has all power. What He's destined for your life 130 00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:08,680 Speaker 4: will come to pass now. It may not happen all 131 00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:12,920 Speaker 4: at once while we're waiting. That's a test of our faith. 132 00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:17,600 Speaker 4: Don't get discouraged when things happen you don't understand. Don't 133 00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:21,880 Speaker 4: give up. You always face the greatest opposition when you're 134 00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:25,480 Speaker 4: close to your breakthrough. The enemy wouldn't be fighting you 135 00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:28,760 Speaker 4: so hard if he didn't know. God has something amazing 136 00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:31,760 Speaker 4: right in front of you. You have to dig your 137 00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:36,200 Speaker 4: heels in. Say. It may be blurry right now, may 138 00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:38,880 Speaker 4: be taking a long time. I don't understand it, but 139 00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:42,240 Speaker 4: I know a secret. The Second Touch is coming. God 140 00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:44,840 Speaker 4: is still on the throne. His plans for me are 141 00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:47,880 Speaker 4: for good. Any moment things could change in my favor. 142 00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:52,360 Speaker 4: Living with that kind of expectancy is what allows God 143 00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:55,640 Speaker 4: to do great things. You don't know. The Second Touch 144 00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:59,280 Speaker 4: could happen today. You could meet the person of your 145 00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:03,480 Speaker 4: dreams to That loan could go through this week. You 146 00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:07,040 Speaker 4: could break the addiction, get the promotion this month. There 147 00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:11,440 Speaker 4: are second touches already ordained to come across your path. 148 00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:16,600 Speaker 4: God doesn't do things halfway. He's the author and the finisher. 149 00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:19,720 Speaker 4: Quit believing those lives that it's never going to happen. 150 00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:23,440 Speaker 4: It may seem impossible, but God can do the impossible. 151 00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:25,960 Speaker 4: People may try to talk you out of it, but 152 00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:30,240 Speaker 4: people don't determine your destiny. God does get up every 153 00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:33,959 Speaker 4: morning and thank him for the second touch. Lord, I'm 154 00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:36,480 Speaker 4: grateful that I have a job. I'm grateful that I 155 00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:38,880 Speaker 4: can pay my bills, but God, I'm still in debt. 156 00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:41,640 Speaker 4: So Lord, I thank you for that second touch. The 157 00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:44,880 Speaker 4: second touch is when you come into overflow into more 158 00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:49,240 Speaker 4: than another. Or Lord, I'm doing better, I'm feeling stronger, 159 00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:52,240 Speaker 4: but I'm still dealing with this illness. Lord, thank you 160 00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:55,520 Speaker 4: for the completion of this healing. For the second touch. 161 00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:58,840 Speaker 4: For God, I went through a disappointment. I lost a 162 00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:01,840 Speaker 4: loved one kind of blurry in my life right now. 163 00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:04,160 Speaker 4: But God, I'm asking, just like you did for that 164 00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:08,319 Speaker 4: blind man, touch me again. Restore my joy, my passion, 165 00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:12,319 Speaker 4: my purpose. God, give me a new beginning. I spoke 166 00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:15,200 Speaker 4: along these lines a while back about how God can 167 00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:19,000 Speaker 4: suddenly shift things I've received a letter in the mail 168 00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:22,600 Speaker 4: from a young man that plays high school football. He 169 00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:25,360 Speaker 4: told how when he heard me say the phrase that 170 00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:29,400 Speaker 4: a shift is coming, something came alive on the inside 171 00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:32,360 Speaker 4: of him. He didn't just hear it think oh yeah, 172 00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:35,200 Speaker 4: it's never gonna happen for me. He let the seed 173 00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:38,920 Speaker 4: take root and started telling everyone that a shift was coming. 174 00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:42,400 Speaker 4: He was a running back on his team and people 175 00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:45,280 Speaker 4: told him he was too small to play football, he 176 00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:48,360 Speaker 4: should try another sport. He would never be successful in that, 177 00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:51,720 Speaker 4: and their team was doing bad, losing game after game. 178 00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:54,640 Speaker 4: But he was so fired up. He got his whole 179 00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:58,360 Speaker 4: team saying before the games, a shift is coming. Things 180 00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:02,040 Speaker 4: are changing in our favor. They started playing better and better. 181 00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:06,240 Speaker 4: They made the playoffs. In the state final, this young 182 00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:10,319 Speaker 4: man scored four touchdowns most of his career, plus he 183 00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:14,440 Speaker 4: scored the game winning touchdown with two seconds left. He 184 00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:18,240 Speaker 4: was named the ABC High School Football Player of the Week. 185 00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:21,760 Speaker 4: In their yearbook, under their picture, they could all put 186 00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:25,240 Speaker 4: one quote. The quote he chose was a shift is coming. 187 00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:28,360 Speaker 4: I wonder what would happen if we would go out 188 00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:33,440 Speaker 4: with the same expectancy, knowing that the second touch is coming, 189 00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:38,160 Speaker 4: not just hearing a message but letting a seed take root, 190 00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:42,240 Speaker 4: expecting dreams to come to pass, expecting to be healthy 191 00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:46,600 Speaker 4: in home, expecting God to finish what he started. Well, Joel, 192 00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:49,240 Speaker 4: this sounds good, it's encouraging, but I've had a lot 193 00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:52,720 Speaker 4: of setbacks. I've been taking this treatment for cancer on 194 00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:55,600 Speaker 4: and off for ten years. That's why I'm discouraged. I 195 00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:58,720 Speaker 4: don't think I'll ever get well. But just because you 196 00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:01,920 Speaker 4: gave up, does it mean that God gave up. God 197 00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:04,800 Speaker 4: is not satisfied with better. He's going to take you 198 00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:09,360 Speaker 4: to the fullness of your destiny. David said, God lifted 199 00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:12,400 Speaker 4: me out of the pit and set my feet upon 200 00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:16,280 Speaker 4: a rock. Sometimes even though we're content in the pit, 201 00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:19,800 Speaker 4: God is not content. He's not going to give you 202 00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:22,720 Speaker 4: a choice. He's going to lift you out of that 203 00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:26,800 Speaker 4: pit and set your feet towards your destiny. You didn't 204 00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:30,000 Speaker 4: think it happened. You believe those lies that you were stuck. 205 00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:34,240 Speaker 4: But suddenly your health turned around, Suddenly you met the 206 00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:38,760 Speaker 4: right person, Suddenly a new door opened up. Wasn't anything 207 00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:42,200 Speaker 4: you did, It was simply the goodness of God his 208 00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:47,400 Speaker 4: second touch. One Kings, Chapter nineteen. The prophet Elijah had 209 00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:50,000 Speaker 4: just seen one of the greatest victories of his life. 210 00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:54,520 Speaker 4: Four hundred false prophets that worshiped the God Bail had 211 00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:58,440 Speaker 4: come against him. Elijah said to them, since you think 212 00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:02,320 Speaker 4: your God is real, let's have contest. They both put 213 00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:05,560 Speaker 4: wood on an altar, and the God that started the 214 00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:08,920 Speaker 4: wood on fire would be the true God. Elijah let 215 00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:12,760 Speaker 4: them go first. They prayed and danced, saying chanted, hour 216 00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:16,920 Speaker 4: after hour, still no fire. When it was Elisha's time, 217 00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:21,320 Speaker 4: he prayed, and God sent lightning from heaven started that 218 00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:24,920 Speaker 4: wood on fire. Later, all four hundred of those prophets 219 00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:28,640 Speaker 4: were killed. Is a great victory for Elijah. But there 220 00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:31,960 Speaker 4: was a lady there by the name of Jezebel. When 221 00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:35,280 Speaker 4: she heard what happened to those prophets, she was furious. 222 00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:39,040 Speaker 4: She sent word to Elijah saying, if I don't kill 223 00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:42,839 Speaker 4: you by this time tomorrow, I'm gonna take my own life. 224 00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:46,840 Speaker 4: Elijah took off, running for his life. It's funny he 225 00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:49,760 Speaker 4: wasn't afraid of four hundred men, but he is scared 226 00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:53,120 Speaker 4: the death of one angry woman. When you have a 227 00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:57,520 Speaker 4: mad woman after you, you need God's help. All the 228 00:12:57,559 --> 00:13:01,880 Speaker 4: men can say amen there, But anyway, Elijah ran far 229 00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:05,959 Speaker 4: away from that place he was sitting under a tree, 230 00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:10,080 Speaker 4: so depressed that he didn't want to live anymore. He said, God, 231 00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:13,120 Speaker 4: I'm done, it's over. Just take my life here. He 232 00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:16,439 Speaker 4: had just seen this great miracle. But the problem now 233 00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:20,120 Speaker 4: is he's tired. It's tired of fighting, tired of believing, 234 00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:24,520 Speaker 4: tired of standing strong. Maybe, like Elijah, you've been doing 235 00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:28,920 Speaker 4: the right thing, staying in faith, believing, praying. You've seen 236 00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:33,160 Speaker 4: God's goodness. But now you're tired, lost your drive, lost 237 00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:36,280 Speaker 4: your passion. You don't think you'll ever really get well. 238 00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:39,600 Speaker 4: You've had the sickness so long you're not believing to 239 00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:43,480 Speaker 4: start that business anymore. You've had too many setbacks. The 240 00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:47,120 Speaker 4: good news is God doesn't give up on us because 241 00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:51,320 Speaker 4: we get tired, get discouraged. When Jesus was on his 242 00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:54,840 Speaker 4: way to the cross, about to be crucified, he got 243 00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:58,319 Speaker 4: so tired, he was so weak that he fell down 244 00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:02,240 Speaker 4: and couldn't carry it any more. God didn't say, Jesus, 245 00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:04,600 Speaker 4: get up, what are you doing. You're making me look bad. 246 00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:07,600 Speaker 4: God sent a man by the name of Simon to 247 00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:10,960 Speaker 4: carry the cross for him. God knew there would be 248 00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:14,400 Speaker 4: times we get tired, discouraged, fall down, give up on 249 00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:17,040 Speaker 4: a dream. He doesn't say, too bad, you should have 250 00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:20,560 Speaker 4: had more faith. He'll send somebody to help lift you 251 00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:24,360 Speaker 4: back up, somebody to breathe new life into your dreams. 252 00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:28,960 Speaker 4: Maybe I'm that somebody for you today. You're not here 253 00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:32,360 Speaker 4: by accident, You're not listening by accident. God is saying 254 00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:34,960 Speaker 4: the best part of your life is still up in 255 00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:40,000 Speaker 4: front of you. He has new victories, new friendships, new opportunities, 256 00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:44,400 Speaker 4: new mountains for you to climb. Sometimes we think, because 257 00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:48,440 Speaker 4: we're people of faith, we're supposed to be superman, superwoman. 258 00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:52,280 Speaker 4: Never have a moment of doubt, a moment of discouragement. 259 00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:55,920 Speaker 4: Take the pressure off yourself. You don't have to be 260 00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:59,760 Speaker 4: strong all the time. Even Jesus fell down under the 261 00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:03,720 Speaker 4: way of the Cross. You may be down today, not 262 00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:07,320 Speaker 4: passionate about life, not pursuing your dreams. You're tired. God 263 00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:09,920 Speaker 4: sent you here to lift you, to help you get 264 00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:12,360 Speaker 4: back up, to let you know that he's not finished. 265 00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:16,240 Speaker 4: He's gonna take you out of that pit. He's gonna 266 00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:19,240 Speaker 4: set your feet on a rock, give you a new beginning. 267 00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:24,360 Speaker 4: This season will pass. The second touch is coming. Elijah 268 00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:26,920 Speaker 4: was sitting under that tree so depressed that he didn't 269 00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:29,880 Speaker 4: want to live anymore. You would think God would say, 270 00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:33,240 Speaker 4: come on, Elijah, I just rained down fire from heaven. 271 00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:36,480 Speaker 4: I just showed you my favor. I protected you. And 272 00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:39,400 Speaker 4: you mean you're gonna let one woman, one bad break, 273 00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:42,680 Speaker 4: one disappointment cause you to get discouraged and give up. 274 00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:44,440 Speaker 4: What's wrong with you? 275 00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:44,560 Speaker 5: Now? 276 00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:48,640 Speaker 4: God doesn't disqualify us when we don't stand strong enough. 277 00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:52,600 Speaker 4: The scripture says the Angel of the Lord came a 278 00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:57,400 Speaker 4: second time to Elijah and touched him, saying, arise and eat. 279 00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:01,400 Speaker 4: When he woke up, he saw bread cooking over some 280 00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:05,440 Speaker 4: colds and a jar of water. God not only brought 281 00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:08,080 Speaker 4: him the bread and water, but God took it one 282 00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:12,160 Speaker 4: step further and cooked the food for him. God could 283 00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:14,760 Speaker 4: have just given him the strength to go out and haunt, 284 00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:17,920 Speaker 4: find food, find firewood, cook it himself. That would have 285 00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:21,040 Speaker 4: been nice. But here's how good God is. On this 286 00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:24,240 Speaker 4: second touch. God is going to bring things to you. 287 00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:27,960 Speaker 4: He's going to cause blessings to chase you down. He's 288 00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:30,760 Speaker 4: going to make things happen that you could never make happen. 289 00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:30,920 Speaker 5: It. 290 00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:35,880 Speaker 4: You may have been through some disappointments, people and circumstances 291 00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:38,760 Speaker 4: come against you, and now you've settled where you are. 292 00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:42,680 Speaker 4: You're not expecting anything good. Every voice says it's never 293 00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:47,040 Speaker 4: going to happen. Don't believe those lies. Just like with Elijah, 294 00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:50,000 Speaker 4: the Angel of the Lord is coming a second time. 295 00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:53,160 Speaker 4: On this second touch, it's not only going to give 296 00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:56,120 Speaker 4: you new strength, new passion, but it's going to push 297 00:16:56,160 --> 00:17:00,160 Speaker 4: you into the fullness of your destiny. The second touch 298 00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:04,280 Speaker 4: is when you'll see clearly, you'll have wisdom, the right 299 00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:08,000 Speaker 4: doors will open, things will fall into place, You'll step 300 00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:11,600 Speaker 4: into your purpose. Why don't you shake off the discouragement, 301 00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:14,760 Speaker 4: shake off the doubt, and say, God, I know you're 302 00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:17,440 Speaker 4: still in control of my life. I may have had 303 00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:19,800 Speaker 4: some bad breaks, things may not have gone my way, 304 00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:22,760 Speaker 4: but I'm not gonna give up on my dream. I'm 305 00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:26,399 Speaker 4: not gonna settle here. I know your second touch is coming. 306 00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:29,919 Speaker 4: If you'll do this, God will not only bring you 307 00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:32,920 Speaker 4: the provision. He'll not only give you the food and water, 308 00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:35,640 Speaker 4: so to speak, but he'll cook the food for you. 309 00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:39,080 Speaker 4: He'll do more than you could ask or think. But 310 00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:42,439 Speaker 4: too often we stay focused on the negative and what 311 00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:45,920 Speaker 4: didn't work out, how long it's taken, who hurt us, 312 00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:49,040 Speaker 4: how unfair it was that causes us to get stuck. 313 00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:53,280 Speaker 4: You can talk yourself out of your destiny. This is 314 00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:57,760 Speaker 4: what Abraham's father did. His name was Terra. He had 315 00:17:57,760 --> 00:18:01,760 Speaker 4: three sons. One of his sons, a young man named Horan, 316 00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:06,360 Speaker 4: died at an early age. Tara went through this great disappointment. 317 00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:10,080 Speaker 4: He lost a son. Later on, God told him to 318 00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:12,640 Speaker 4: leave the place they were living and go to Canaan, 319 00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:16,080 Speaker 4: the Promised Land. Tara got all of his family and 320 00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:20,080 Speaker 4: started out that way, headed toward his destiny. But when 321 00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:24,240 Speaker 4: he came to the city of Haran, the same name 322 00:18:24,359 --> 00:18:27,480 Speaker 4: of the son he lost. Instead of passing through it, 323 00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:31,960 Speaker 4: continuing on to the Promised Land. The scripture says that 324 00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:37,040 Speaker 4: Tera settled in the city of Haran. He started off good, 325 00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:40,720 Speaker 4: but when he came to that place that reminded him 326 00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:44,560 Speaker 4: of the son, he lost his greatest disappointment. He got 327 00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:49,000 Speaker 4: discouraged and settled there. Told everyone, I know we should 328 00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:52,080 Speaker 4: go forward. I'm sure the Promised Land is probably up there. 329 00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:54,600 Speaker 4: But look, I've been through so much, I've been hurt 330 00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:57,400 Speaker 4: in my life. Let's just settle. Here's never gonna work out. 331 00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:02,560 Speaker 4: Tera could have become the father of many nations instead 332 00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:06,200 Speaker 4: of Abraham. He was the original one that God said, 333 00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:09,240 Speaker 4: go to the promised Land. We could talk about the 334 00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:13,600 Speaker 4: God of Terah, Abraham and Isaac instead of Abraham, Isaac 335 00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:17,439 Speaker 4: and Jacob. It could have started one generation sooner. But 336 00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:21,800 Speaker 4: Tarah chose to settle. He didn't realize that God had 337 00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:25,280 Speaker 4: a second touch, that God can give beauty for ashes, 338 00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:29,000 Speaker 4: that God can turn mourning into dancing, that he can 339 00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:32,280 Speaker 4: take what's meant for harm and use it to our advantage. 340 00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:36,800 Speaker 4: He chose instead to stay focused on the pain. And 341 00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:39,720 Speaker 4: maybe he had a good excuse. He lost a loved one. 342 00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:42,840 Speaker 4: But if only he would have dug his heels in 343 00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:46,879 Speaker 4: and said, I may not understand it, this may be painful, 344 00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:50,320 Speaker 4: but I am not going to settle in Haram. I'm 345 00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:52,760 Speaker 4: not going to stay in the place of my greatest pain. 346 00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:55,919 Speaker 4: I'm going to keep moving forward, knowing that a second 347 00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:58,640 Speaker 4: touch is coming, knowing that God will pay me back 348 00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:02,639 Speaker 4: for this trouble. If he would have done that, he 349 00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:06,439 Speaker 4: would have been listed as one of the heroes of faith. Friends, 350 00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:10,760 Speaker 4: don't let one disappointment, one loss, one bad break cause 351 00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:14,280 Speaker 4: you to settle. We all go through things we don't understand. 352 00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:18,399 Speaker 4: Life doesn't always make sense. The key is you have 353 00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:22,399 Speaker 4: to pass through the place of your greatest pain, pass 354 00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:26,640 Speaker 4: through the disappointment, the hurt, the failure, the rejection. If 355 00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:30,560 Speaker 4: you'll keep moving forward, you'll come in to your promised land. 356 00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:34,119 Speaker 4: God will give you beauty for ashes. The scripture says, 357 00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:37,480 Speaker 4: God will pay you back double for the unfair situation. 358 00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:42,119 Speaker 4: You remember Job, He went through a great setback. He 359 00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:45,600 Speaker 4: lost his health, his business, his family. But in the 360 00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:49,679 Speaker 4: end God restored twice back what he had lost. He 361 00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:53,000 Speaker 4: had ten children that were killed in a great storm, 362 00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:58,280 Speaker 4: terrible tragedy. He was devastated, but later on God gave 363 00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:01,440 Speaker 4: him ten more children. He had ten in heaven, ten 364 00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:05,600 Speaker 4: on earth. Double. And what's interesting is the scripture never 365 00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:10,640 Speaker 4: says that Joe married a younger wife. His same wife 366 00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:14,480 Speaker 4: that had given him ten children before, gave him ten 367 00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:19,800 Speaker 4: more children. God opened her womb once again. That womb 368 00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:22,840 Speaker 4: had been closed. She was too old in the natural, 369 00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:25,760 Speaker 4: she couldn't have any more kids. Her womb looked like 370 00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:29,280 Speaker 4: it was dead. But when God saw the trouble that 371 00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:32,359 Speaker 4: the enemy cost her, he said, in e fact, don't worry, 372 00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:35,879 Speaker 4: I'm going to bring you a dead womb back to life, 373 00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:39,359 Speaker 4: that womb that's been closed. I'm gonna reopen it, and 374 00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:42,320 Speaker 4: you're gonna have ten more children. I don't know if 375 00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:46,479 Speaker 4: she is happy or depressed. But if God did that 376 00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:50,919 Speaker 4: for Victoria, he would have to bring me back to life. 377 00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:54,919 Speaker 4: Bottom line, that woman had ten more kids. What am 378 00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:58,480 Speaker 4: I saying? The enemy cannot stop God's plan for your life. 379 00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:03,359 Speaker 4: He may try, but God has the final say. You 380 00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:06,280 Speaker 4: may have something that seems dead. You tried and it 381 00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:08,800 Speaker 4: didn't work out. It's been a long time. You need 382 00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:12,159 Speaker 4: to get ready for the second touch. On the second touch, 383 00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:15,680 Speaker 4: God's going to reopen what was closed. He's going to 384 00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:18,240 Speaker 4: bring to life what you thought was dead. He's going 385 00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:21,200 Speaker 4: to pay you back for that trouble. Don't settle in 386 00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:24,399 Speaker 4: the place of your pain. Keep moving forward. The second 387 00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:27,879 Speaker 4: touch is coming. I was in Washington, d c. Earlier 388 00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:30,920 Speaker 4: this year and I talked to this mother. She told 389 00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:34,400 Speaker 4: me about her son. He's a soldier serving in our 390 00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:38,280 Speaker 4: military overseas. She received a phone call in the middle 391 00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:41,280 Speaker 4: of the night that he had been gravely wounded in action. 392 00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:44,800 Speaker 4: They were flying him to Germany, not expecting him to 393 00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:47,480 Speaker 4: make it through the night. She and her husband took 394 00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:50,639 Speaker 4: the next flight out. They arrived there in Germany, he 395 00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:54,240 Speaker 4: was still alive in a coma, hanging on barely by 396 00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:57,520 Speaker 4: a thread. The doctor said it was just a matter 397 00:22:57,560 --> 00:23:01,199 Speaker 4: of hours before he would certainly pass. A lot of 398 00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:04,159 Speaker 4: people would have given up, but this soldier had a 399 00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:07,600 Speaker 4: praying mother. She knew that God has the final say, 400 00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:11,720 Speaker 4: that God can resurrect it when it looks dead. She 401 00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:14,960 Speaker 4: was doing her best to stay in faith. She asked 402 00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:17,880 Speaker 4: God to give her a sign. When all the doctors 403 00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:21,879 Speaker 4: and specialists left the hospital room after giving her the 404 00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:26,520 Speaker 4: grim prognosis about her son, this nurse came in, looked 405 00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:29,359 Speaker 4: the mother in the eyes. She said, don't worry about 406 00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:32,640 Speaker 4: your son. He's going to be fine. When he arrived 407 00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:35,600 Speaker 4: last night, he opened his eyes and looked at me. 408 00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:39,000 Speaker 4: When he did, I could see God in his eyes. 409 00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:42,879 Speaker 4: He made it through that night, against all odds. The 410 00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:46,920 Speaker 4: next night, and the next Today, several years later, he's 411 00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:50,720 Speaker 4: still alive, on the road to recovery, getting better and better. 412 00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:55,640 Speaker 4: When it looked like it was over, the second touch 413 00:23:55,720 --> 00:24:00,159 Speaker 4: kicked in. God breathed new life into his body. Have 414 00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:04,240 Speaker 4: something that seems dead, your health, a business, a relationship. 415 00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:06,840 Speaker 4: You don't see how it could ever work out. But 416 00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:10,000 Speaker 4: God hasn't brought you this far to leave you. There's 417 00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:13,240 Speaker 4: a second touch coming. The first touch got you to 418 00:24:13,320 --> 00:24:16,400 Speaker 4: this point. The second touch is when it turns around. 419 00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:20,480 Speaker 4: You see the breakthrough, your health gets better, your business 420 00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:23,959 Speaker 4: takes off. The second touch is when you say, I 421 00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:27,199 Speaker 4: can see clearly now, the dream came to pass. The 422 00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:32,600 Speaker 4: problem resolved. What God started, he finished. Anybody can give up, 423 00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:35,800 Speaker 4: anybody can get discouraged, and thank God, it's never gonna 424 00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:39,399 Speaker 4: work out. That's easy. Doubters are a dime a dozen. 425 00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:43,400 Speaker 4: It takes a man, a woman of great faith, somebody 426 00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:46,359 Speaker 4: like you that says I don't see a way, but 427 00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:48,960 Speaker 4: I know God still has a way. I'm not gonna 428 00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:53,600 Speaker 4: settle where I am, not gonna give up, not gonna 429 00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:56,600 Speaker 4: get talked out of it. I know my second touch 430 00:24:56,680 --> 00:24:59,560 Speaker 4: is coming. God's done it for others, He'll do it 431 00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:03,400 Speaker 4: for me. Moses said in Psalm ninety, God show us 432 00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:08,600 Speaker 4: gladness for our former misery. Replace the difficult years with good. 433 00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:12,720 Speaker 4: God show us miracles again. He was saying, God, I'm 434 00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:15,440 Speaker 4: in a tough time. I've had some bad breaks. Things 435 00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:18,320 Speaker 4: aren't going my way. But God, I'm asking for your 436 00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:23,240 Speaker 4: second touch. Give us miracles again. When you face difficulties. 437 00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:27,919 Speaker 4: Do like Moses, God touch me again, strengthen me again, 438 00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:32,600 Speaker 4: heal me again, amaze me again. Dare to ask for 439 00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:36,440 Speaker 4: the second touch. In the scripture, there was a lady 440 00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:40,200 Speaker 4: named Elizabeth. She and her husband were well up there 441 00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:44,520 Speaker 4: in years. Her husband was Zachariah. They'd never had any children, 442 00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:47,880 Speaker 4: but God spoke to Zachariah and said they were going 443 00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:50,440 Speaker 4: to have a son. They were to name him John. 444 00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:54,119 Speaker 4: He would later become known as John the Baptist. And 445 00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:56,719 Speaker 4: even though Elizabeth was too old to have a baby, 446 00:25:56,920 --> 00:26:00,840 Speaker 4: she conceived. She got pregnant for six months. Once she 447 00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:04,280 Speaker 4: didn't feel any movement in her womb, she thought something 448 00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:07,360 Speaker 4: was wrong with the baby. But one day her young 449 00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:11,480 Speaker 4: cousin Mary came to visit her. Mary was pregnant with Jesus. 450 00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:16,120 Speaker 4: When Elizabeth saw Mary, the scripture says, the baby leaped 451 00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:19,359 Speaker 4: in Elizabeth's womb. She knew right then and there that 452 00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:22,720 Speaker 4: little John the Baptist was alive and well. That was 453 00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:27,040 Speaker 4: the first time John ever met Jesus. Still in the womb. 454 00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:32,080 Speaker 4: Fast forward thirty years, John was baptizing people in the 455 00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:35,720 Speaker 4: Jordan River. He sees Jesus come walking up. He says, 456 00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:39,840 Speaker 4: behold the lamb of God. Jesus asked John to baptize 457 00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:42,199 Speaker 4: him when he came up out of the water. The 458 00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:46,960 Speaker 4: scripture says, the heavens opened up. The first time John 459 00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:51,399 Speaker 4: met Jesus, his mother's womb opened up a natural occurrence. 460 00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:54,879 Speaker 4: The second time they met, the heavens opened up a 461 00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:59,920 Speaker 4: supernatural occurrence. This second touch is not going to be ordinary. 462 00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:03,520 Speaker 4: It's not gonna be natural what you were thinking. It's 463 00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:06,840 Speaker 4: gonna launch you into a new dimension, into a new level. 464 00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:10,600 Speaker 4: God's gonna make things happen that you could never make happen. 465 00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:15,080 Speaker 4: You may have seen God's goodness, but you need to 466 00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:18,240 Speaker 4: get ready. You haven't seen anything yet. There's a second 467 00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:22,040 Speaker 4: touch coming. It's not too late to accomplish your dreams. 468 00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:25,760 Speaker 4: You can still live healthy and home. You can still 469 00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:30,040 Speaker 4: overcome that problem. Don't get discouraged and settle where you are. 470 00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:33,359 Speaker 4: Don't get stuck in your place of pain, the place 471 00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:37,560 Speaker 4: of disappointment. Keep moving forward. There's a promised land in 472 00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:40,159 Speaker 4: front of you. The best part of your life is 473 00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:43,080 Speaker 4: still in your future. I'm asking you to stir your 474 00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:46,399 Speaker 4: faith up, get your passion back, get up every morning 475 00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:49,800 Speaker 4: and say, with Moses, Lord, thank you for your second touch. 476 00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:54,080 Speaker 4: If you'll do this, I believe and declare, just like 477 00:27:54,359 --> 00:27:57,520 Speaker 4: the blind Man, You're going to see a completion of 478 00:27:57,520 --> 00:28:00,760 Speaker 4: what God started. Like Elijah God, God's not only going 479 00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:03,800 Speaker 4: to give you strength, but He's gonna bring you the provision, 480 00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:06,800 Speaker 4: cook the food for you. And like John the Baptist, 481 00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:10,080 Speaker 4: God's gonna take you to a new dimension, into the 482 00:28:10,119 --> 00:28:13,879 Speaker 4: fullness of your destiny. In Jesus' name, if you receive it, 483 00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:15,080 Speaker 4: can you say it? 484 00:28:15,119 --> 00:28:15,280 Speaker 5: Man? 485 00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:20,359 Speaker 4: Today? We never like to close our broadcast without giving 486 00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:23,320 Speaker 4: you an opportunity to make Jesus the Lord of your life. 487 00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:28,160 Speaker 4: Would you pray with me? Just say, Lord, Jesus, I'll 488 00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:32,920 Speaker 4: repent of my sins, come into my life. I make 489 00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:36,840 Speaker 4: you my Lord and savior.
