1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:03,160
Speaker 1: Hi, this is Joel and Victoria. Thanks for listening to

2
00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:05,920
Speaker 1: our podcast and thanks for supporting the ministry.

3
00:00:06,120 --> 00:00:08,440
Speaker 2: If you enjoy today's message, why don't you be a

4
00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:10,000
Speaker 2: blessing and share it with a friend.

5
00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:13,040
Speaker 1: We appreciate you and pray for God's very best in

6
00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:16,079
Speaker 1: your life. Well, God bless you. It's a joy to

7
00:00:16,120 --> 00:00:18,800
Speaker 1: come into your homes, and if you're ever in our area,

8
00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:20,799
Speaker 1: please stop by and be a part of one of

9
00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:24,279
Speaker 1: our services. These are the finest people in all of Houston, Texas,

10
00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:26,640
Speaker 1: right here at Lake Floyd, so come out when you can.

11
00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:30,080
Speaker 1: But thanks for tuning in today and thank you again

12
00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:32,840
Speaker 1: for being here. I like to start with something funny,

13
00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:35,559
Speaker 1: and I heard about these three pastors. They were in

14
00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:37,960
Speaker 1: a boat on a lake fishing one day together, and

15
00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:40,519
Speaker 1: one of them said, we never get to let our

16
00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:44,040
Speaker 1: hair down. Let's each tell the area that we struggle

17
00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:47,160
Speaker 1: in the most, our greatest sin, so we can pray

18
00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:50,199
Speaker 1: for each other. First man said, I hate to admit this,

19
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:53,239
Speaker 1: but I have a problem with gambling. I sneak out

20
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:56,360
Speaker 1: a lot of nights and go gamble. Second pastor said, Oh,

21
00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:58,760
Speaker 1: I'm ashamed to admit this, but I have a problem

22
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:03,440
Speaker 1: with cheatingly, ever, pay my taxes. Third Pastor just sat

23
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:07,399
Speaker 1: there silently. They waited and waited. He wouldn't budge. They said,

24
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:10,039
Speaker 1: we're not getting off this vote until you tell us

25
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:13,319
Speaker 1: your greatest sin. He said, all right, my greatest sin

26
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:17,600
Speaker 1: is gossiping, and I can't wait to get off this vote.

27
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:21,039
Speaker 1: Say it like you mean it. This is my Bible.

28
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:23,640
Speaker 1: I am what it says I am. I have what

29
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:26,080
Speaker 1: it says I have. I can do what it says

30
00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:28,840
Speaker 1: I can do. Today I will be taught the word

31
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:32,840
Speaker 1: of God. I boldly confess my mind is alert, my

32
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:37,280
Speaker 1: heart is receptive. I will never be the same. In Jesus' name,

33
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:40,839
Speaker 1: God bless you. I want to talk to you today

34
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:45,480
Speaker 1: about acceleration. We all have dreams that were believing to

35
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:49,320
Speaker 1: accomplish and problems that we're hoping will turn around. But

36
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:52,720
Speaker 1: many times, in the natural it looks like it's going

37
00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:55,400
Speaker 1: to take years for this to happen. Years to get

38
00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:59,040
Speaker 1: out of debt, years to overcome an illness, years to

39
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 1: reach a goal. But I've learned God doesn't always follow

40
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:07,600
Speaker 1: a natural timeline. He knows how to speed things up.

41
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 1: Now I can sense in my spirit that this is

42
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:15,120
Speaker 1: going to be a year of acceleration. God is going

43
00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:19,080
Speaker 1: to make things happen quicker than you thought. In your career,

44
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:22,239
Speaker 1: it should take you twenty years to get into management,

45
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:25,680
Speaker 1: twenty years to build that business up. But in this

46
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:29,840
Speaker 1: year of acceleration, God is going to give you breaks

47
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:33,679
Speaker 1: that propel you forward. He's going to open up doors

48
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:38,200
Speaker 1: that thrust you years ahead. In your finances. May look

49
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:40,520
Speaker 1: like it's going to take years to get out of debt,

50
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:44,799
Speaker 1: years to pay your house off, but get ready, acceleration

51
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:47,960
Speaker 1: is coming your way. God knows how to open the

52
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:51,840
Speaker 1: windows of heaven. One good break can put you into overflow.

53
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:55,760
Speaker 1: Perhaps the medical report says it's going to take five

54
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 1: years to get well, five years a chemo, five years

55
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:03,800
Speaker 1: of treatment. That's one timetable. But God has another timetable.

56
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:08,400
Speaker 1: He's saying, I'm going to speed up the process. I'm

57
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:13,520
Speaker 1: going to accelerate your healing, accelerate your promotion, accelerate your

58
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:16,960
Speaker 1: dreams coming to pass. This is what the scripture says

59
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:21,000
Speaker 1: in the Book of Amos. From the message translation, things

60
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:24,840
Speaker 1: are going to happen so fast your head will swim

61
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:28,840
Speaker 1: one thing fast on the heels of the other. You

62
00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:32,160
Speaker 1: won't be able to keep up. Everything will be happening

63
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:36,640
Speaker 1: all at once, everywhere you look. Blessings, this is going

64
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:40,040
Speaker 1: to be a year of what aimless prophesied things are

65
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:44,360
Speaker 1: going to happen so fast, healing, promotion, breakthroughs that our

66
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 1: head will swim. The scripture talks about how God can

67
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:51,360
Speaker 1: do a quick work, and yes, I know there are

68
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:55,720
Speaker 1: times we have to be patient, seasons of waiting, passing

69
00:03:55,760 --> 00:04:00,200
Speaker 1: the task, being faithful, But there are also seasons where

70
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 1: God will do a quick work, where he will accelerate,

71
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:08,120
Speaker 1: do things so fast, so amazing, that our head will swim.

72
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 1: A few months ago, I talked to a high school

73
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 1: student out in the lobby after service. He's a star

74
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:18,719
Speaker 1: basketball player, big, tall young man. His dream is to

75
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:23,440
Speaker 1: play Division one basketball in college, but the only scholarships

76
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:27,880
Speaker 1: he's been offered were to Division two schools. He was grateful,

77
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:30,760
Speaker 1: he had a great attitude about it, but he seemed torn.

78
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:34,880
Speaker 1: He asked me if he should decline the Division two

79
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:38,120
Speaker 1: scholarships and not settle for less than what he knew

80
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:41,320
Speaker 1: was in him, or should he take the scholarship and

81
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:44,440
Speaker 1: play at that school and hopefully one day transfer to

82
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:47,640
Speaker 1: a Division IE level school. I wasn't sure how to

83
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:50,039
Speaker 1: advise him, so I said, let me pray for you.

84
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:53,080
Speaker 1: I prayed that God would give him wisdom, God would

85
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:55,560
Speaker 1: open the right doors, and that God would make the

86
00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:59,120
Speaker 1: path easy for him to choose. He thanked me and

87
00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:02,400
Speaker 1: walked away. About ten minutes later, when I was finishing

88
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:05,480
Speaker 1: up with the other visitors, he came back. His eyes

89
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:08,760
Speaker 1: were this wide. He said, you're not going to believe

90
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:12,440
Speaker 1: what happened. Right when I walked away, I got a

91
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:15,600
Speaker 1: call on my cell phone. I didn't recognize the number,

92
00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:18,480
Speaker 1: but when I answered it, it was a Division one

93
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:22,840
Speaker 1: head coach asking me to come play for him. Just

94
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 1: like Amos prophesied. It happened so fast his head was swimming.

95
00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:30,200
Speaker 1: He didn't know what to say. He said, Joe, I

96
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:32,479
Speaker 1: just want to thank you for praying for me. He said, well,

97
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 1: that's the way my prayers are always answered. But the

98
00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:39,400
Speaker 1: truth is, I said, don't thank me, thank him. That's

99
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:45,120
Speaker 1: the God of acceleration. That's God's feeding things up. I

100
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:49,320
Speaker 1: believe this year, like with him, you're going to see

101
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:53,760
Speaker 1: some quick works, some unusual things, things that you've been

102
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:57,320
Speaker 1: dreaming about. Looks like it's going to take years. Suddenly,

103
00:05:57,360 --> 00:05:59,840
Speaker 1: they're going to fall into place. You're going to look

104
00:05:59,880 --> 00:06:02,640
Speaker 1: up up and say, I didn't see it happening that fast.

105
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:05,880
Speaker 1: I didn't know i'd get well this quickly. I didn't

106
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:09,000
Speaker 1: know the problem would turn around that suddenly. God wants

107
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:13,039
Speaker 1: to do some things that make our head swim. Well, Joel,

108
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:15,799
Speaker 1: this sounds good, but I don't think it's gonna happen

109
00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:19,120
Speaker 1: for me. My prayers never get answer, I never get

110
00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:22,120
Speaker 1: any good breaks. Well, you're right, it won't happen. Your

111
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:27,000
Speaker 1: negative attitude is canceling it out. Negative thoughts, doubt, unbelief

112
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:31,440
Speaker 1: that ties the hands of Almighty God. God works where

113
00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:35,640
Speaker 1: there's an attitude of faith, an attitude of expectancy. Why

114
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:39,000
Speaker 1: don't you take the limits off of God? Dare to say, God,

115
00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:42,919
Speaker 1: I'm asking for you to do for me what you

116
00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:47,760
Speaker 1: promised through the prophet Amos. God, make my head swim,

117
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:52,000
Speaker 1: Amaze me with your goodness. God, accelerate your blessings in

118
00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:57,240
Speaker 1: my life. This scripture, in another translation says there will

119
00:06:57,240 --> 00:07:01,599
Speaker 1: come a time when the plowmen will overtake the reaper.

120
00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:05,719
Speaker 1: The grapes will grow faster than they can be harvested.

121
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:09,840
Speaker 1: This is saying the time was coming. When a man

122
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:12,960
Speaker 1: would be out plowing the field so in the seeds,

123
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:17,120
Speaker 1: but the harvest would come up so fast. The growth

124
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:20,640
Speaker 1: would be so sped up that as soon as he sowed,

125
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:24,360
Speaker 1: the harvest would pop right up. The plowmen couldn't keep

126
00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:28,360
Speaker 1: up with it. In those days, typically the plowmen would

127
00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:31,280
Speaker 1: have to wait at least seven or eight months to

128
00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:34,840
Speaker 1: see any kind of harvest. But Amos said, the day

129
00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:39,400
Speaker 1: is coming when it will happen simultaneously. As soon as

130
00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:42,880
Speaker 1: you sow the seed, the harvest will begin to spring forward.

131
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:47,080
Speaker 1: I believe we are living in the day that on

132
00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 1: Amos talked about. You're sowing the seed, You're doing the

133
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:54,800
Speaker 1: right thing. It should take months, maybe even years, But

134
00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:57,880
Speaker 1: as you sow that seed, the harvest is already coming.

135
00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:02,640
Speaker 1: Blessings chasing you down, favor that you didn't deserve. It's

136
00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:06,040
Speaker 1: not going to be the usual process. It's not going

137
00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:08,280
Speaker 1: to be like it's been in the past. God is

138
00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:12,360
Speaker 1: speeding things up. A couple of years ago, I was

139
00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:15,480
Speaker 1: driving down the freeway and this friend came to mine,

140
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:18,960
Speaker 1: and I knew he was having difficulties in his finances,

141
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:22,760
Speaker 1: his job situation had changed, and I felt strongly that

142
00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:25,880
Speaker 1: I was supposed to help him. I mentioned it to Victorian.

143
00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:28,840
Speaker 1: She agreed, and so I sent him a text saying

144
00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:31,360
Speaker 1: that we were going to send him a gift, a

145
00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:35,440
Speaker 1: significant amount. He was very grateful and couldn't thank me enough.

146
00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:38,520
Speaker 1: We were out of town. I was going to take

147
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:41,040
Speaker 1: care of it the next day. When I got back home.

148
00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:45,480
Speaker 1: A couple of hours later, this lady we work with called.

149
00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:49,800
Speaker 1: She said a company had just contacted her, a large,

150
00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:53,480
Speaker 1: well respected organization, and they wanted me to be a

151
00:08:53,520 --> 00:08:56,520
Speaker 1: part of a project they were working on. I didn't

152
00:08:56,559 --> 00:08:59,240
Speaker 1: have to do anything, I didn't have to go any place.

153
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:02,559
Speaker 1: They just wanted to use my name. She said, if

154
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:05,280
Speaker 1: you'll agree to do this, then there will make a

155
00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:09,160
Speaker 1: donation to your ministry. When she told me the amount,

156
00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:13,560
Speaker 1: my head began to swim. It was over one hundred

157
00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:17,240
Speaker 1: times what i'd promised. My friend. Here's the thing. I

158
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:20,360
Speaker 1: hadn't even put the seed in the ground, Jeff. I

159
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:23,280
Speaker 1: was going to write the check the next day, But

160
00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:26,040
Speaker 1: before I could put the seed in the ground, the

161
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:29,840
Speaker 1: harvest was already there. The blessing had already overtaken me.

162
00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:34,160
Speaker 1: That's what Amos said, It's going to happen simultaneously. As

163
00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:37,360
Speaker 1: you bless others, blessings are going to pop up. As

164
00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:39,960
Speaker 1: you sow the seed, the harvest will already be there.

165
00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:43,440
Speaker 1: I talked to a gentleman on the phone. He'd been

166
00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:47,199
Speaker 1: addicted to drugs for over thirty two years. He'd gone

167
00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:50,319
Speaker 1: through different treatments and tried rehab, but none of that

168
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:54,800
Speaker 1: was successful. He wasn't a religious person, didn't grow up

169
00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:57,840
Speaker 1: in church. One day, he is flipping through the channels

170
00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:01,000
Speaker 1: and he heard me talking about how God can help

171
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:03,760
Speaker 1: you break an addiction, how the forces that are for

172
00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:06,559
Speaker 1: you are greater than the forces that are against you.

173
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:10,760
Speaker 1: He said that day he felt something on the inside

174
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:14,640
Speaker 1: that he had never felt. He prayed a very simple prayer.

175
00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:18,200
Speaker 1: He said, God, if you're real, help me to break

176
00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:23,040
Speaker 1: this addiction. From that day forward, he never touched another drug.

177
00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:28,040
Speaker 1: He was set completely free. Being addicted for thirty two years,

178
00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:31,439
Speaker 1: you would think that at least he would have some

179
00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:36,280
Speaker 1: kind of withdrawals, some pain suffering as his body readjusted.

180
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:40,480
Speaker 1: This is what Amos is talking about. Soon as he

181
00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:44,400
Speaker 1: sowed the seed, the harvest was right there. It should

182
00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:47,240
Speaker 1: have taken him months to get over, should have been

183
00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:50,920
Speaker 1: a long drawn out process. But God is in the

184
00:10:50,960 --> 00:10:55,280
Speaker 1: business of speeding things up. His timetable is not a

185
00:10:55,360 --> 00:11:00,280
Speaker 1: natural timetable. If you'll dare believe, God will excel rate

186
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:05,080
Speaker 1: your harvest, accelerate your healing, accelerate the freedom. God is

187
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:09,520
Speaker 1: in the accelerating business. One time Jesus was at a wedding.

188
00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:12,600
Speaker 1: The ceremony was just over, and they were all at

189
00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:16,839
Speaker 1: this big reception afterwards. Right in the middle, they ran

190
00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:20,640
Speaker 1: out of wine. There were six stone water pots over

191
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:24,319
Speaker 1: to the side. Jesus asked the workers to fill them

192
00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:27,440
Speaker 1: up with water. They filled them up. Then he said,

193
00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:30,040
Speaker 1: now dip some out and take it to the host

194
00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:33,880
Speaker 1: of the party. When the host tasted the water that

195
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:38,240
Speaker 1: was now wine, he called the bridegroom over and said,

196
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:42,360
Speaker 1: this is amazing. Usually you serve the best wine first.

197
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:45,520
Speaker 1: Then when everyone is full and a little bit tipsy

198
00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:48,640
Speaker 1: and doesn't know any better, you bring out the expensive wine.

199
00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:52,240
Speaker 1: But you've done just the opposite. You've saved the best

200
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:56,439
Speaker 1: wine for last. Now. Normally, making wine is a very

201
00:11:56,480 --> 00:12:01,000
Speaker 1: lengthy process. Starts a course by planning the seed and

202
00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:04,959
Speaker 1: the vines have to grow and eventually produce grapes. Then,

203
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:07,520
Speaker 1: when the grapes get mature enough, they picked them make

204
00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:10,920
Speaker 1: them into wine. But the process from the time you

205
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:14,160
Speaker 1: plant the seed to the time you have wine is

206
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:19,199
Speaker 1: typically three or four years. That's just average wine. Better

207
00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:23,040
Speaker 1: quality wine can take five to seven years on top

208
00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:25,960
Speaker 1: of that to make it even more valuable. Many times

209
00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:29,360
Speaker 1: they'll age the wine. You've seen bottoms of wine twenty

210
00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:32,360
Speaker 1: years old, thirty years old that would be considered the

211
00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:37,000
Speaker 1: best wine. Here's my point. The first miracle Jesus ever

212
00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:41,840
Speaker 1: performed turning water into wine was a miracle of acceleration.

213
00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:45,800
Speaker 1: What should have been a twenty even thirty year process

214
00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:49,520
Speaker 1: God did in a moment of time. You may think

215
00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:51,680
Speaker 1: I could never get to where I'm supposed to be.

216
00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:54,600
Speaker 1: I am so far behind. No God can take what

217
00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:57,560
Speaker 1: should take you twenty years and get you there in

218
00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:01,400
Speaker 1: an instant. Maybe it should take you years to get well,

219
00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:05,959
Speaker 1: but just as God sped up the process of making wine,

220
00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:10,240
Speaker 1: God can speed up the process of you getting well.

221
00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:13,080
Speaker 1: On paper, it may say it's going to take you

222
00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:15,920
Speaker 1: thirty years to get out of debt. The good news

223
00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:19,080
Speaker 1: is God knows how to turn your water into wine.

224
00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:22,480
Speaker 1: He can take a thirty year process and do it

225
00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:26,400
Speaker 1: in a fraction of the time. Right now, God's working

226
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:28,800
Speaker 1: behind the scenes in your life. You know what he's doing,

227
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:32,320
Speaker 1: gathering the pots, filling up the water. The process has

228
00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:37,320
Speaker 1: already been started. Suddenly it's going to change. Suddenly you're

229
00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:40,280
Speaker 1: going to find yourself where you couldn't go on your own.

230
00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:44,280
Speaker 1: There was a lady in town from another state, down

231
00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:47,280
Speaker 1: at the medical center. She stopped by the service and

232
00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:50,000
Speaker 1: told how she had just been put on the list

233
00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:54,679
Speaker 1: to receive a liver transplant. She was told that this

234
00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:58,440
Speaker 1: would take between three and five years. She was very

235
00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:01,760
Speaker 1: concerned not know and if she could even live that long.

236
00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:04,960
Speaker 1: Of course, I prayed for and encouraged her that God

237
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:08,640
Speaker 1: can heal you with or without the transplant. Couple of

238
00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:11,320
Speaker 1: months later, I saw her back at church. She had

239
00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:14,120
Speaker 1: a wristband on that I could tell she had been

240
00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:17,040
Speaker 1: at the hospital and thought maybe something was wrong. She

241
00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:19,880
Speaker 1: smiled and said, Joel, you're looking at a lady that

242
00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:23,480
Speaker 1: has a brand new liver. Two weeks after she was

243
00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:26,560
Speaker 1: put on the list, she received a phone call saying

244
00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:30,160
Speaker 1: a new liver was available to her. She had the surgery.

245
00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:34,520
Speaker 1: There were no complications. She said, I feel better today

246
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:37,640
Speaker 1: than I felt when I was a teenager. What was

247
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:41,280
Speaker 1: that God turned her water into wine? What should have

248
00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:44,800
Speaker 1: taken five years, God did in a few months time.

249
00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:49,280
Speaker 1: Like her, it may look like it's going to take

250
00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:52,200
Speaker 1: you years to get well, years to get out of debt,

251
00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:56,360
Speaker 1: years to reach your goal, but don't ever rule out

252
00:14:56,480 --> 00:15:01,760
Speaker 1: the God of acceleration. He has healing favor breakthroughs that

253
00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:06,280
Speaker 1: can propel you years ahead. You may be fighting a

254
00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:09,680
Speaker 1: battle in your health. Don't believe those lies that it's

255
00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:13,160
Speaker 1: never going to get better. Your attitude should be Father,

256
00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:16,640
Speaker 1: I want to thank you that you're accelerating my healing.

257
00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:19,760
Speaker 1: Thank you that I'll get well quicker than I've been told.

258
00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:23,560
Speaker 1: Thank you that I'll defy the odds. The financial report

259
00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:27,080
Speaker 1: may say you'll never be able to afford a nice

260
00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:29,680
Speaker 1: place to live, you'll never be able to send your

261
00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:33,360
Speaker 1: children to college. Instead of letting that defeat you turn

262
00:15:33,400 --> 00:15:37,360
Speaker 1: it around. I know I serve the God of acceleration.

263
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:40,640
Speaker 1: It may look impossible, but Lord, I want to thank

264
00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:44,640
Speaker 1: you that you're turning my water into wine. And yes,

265
00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:47,240
Speaker 1: I know we have to be patient. We need to

266
00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:51,360
Speaker 1: wait for God's timing, but it's also important to believe

267
00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:55,600
Speaker 1: for quick works for acceleration that's what it's going to

268
00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:59,400
Speaker 1: take to reach the fullness of your destiny. You're going

269
00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:02,680
Speaker 1: to need some times like this, lady, where God speeds

270
00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:05,800
Speaker 1: things up, where God takes you where you could not

271
00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:10,640
Speaker 1: go on your own. In the scripture, Ezekiel said, the

272
00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:13,960
Speaker 1: hand of the Lord was on me, and he carried me.

273
00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:19,160
Speaker 1: That word carried in the original language means to shoot out,

274
00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:25,360
Speaker 1: to launch forward. It implies acceleration. As God carries you

275
00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:30,520
Speaker 1: through life. It's not always going to be routine, predictable.

276
00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:34,280
Speaker 1: Little by little, there are times when God is carrying

277
00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:37,280
Speaker 1: you that he's going to shoot you out. He's going

278
00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:41,120
Speaker 1: to propel you years down the road. I look up

279
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:43,040
Speaker 1: and think, how did I get to where I am?

280
00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:47,240
Speaker 1: I was working behind the scenes, minding my own business.

281
00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:50,960
Speaker 1: What happened? God shot me out? He was carrying me,

282
00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:54,880
Speaker 1: but part of that carrying was to launch me forward.

283
00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:58,440
Speaker 1: All of you can look back and see times where

284
00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:01,480
Speaker 1: God shot you. He gave you a break that you

285
00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:04,240
Speaker 1: didn't deserve. He opened a door that you could have

286
00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:07,560
Speaker 1: never opened. He turned a problem around when you didn't

287
00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:12,600
Speaker 1: see away. Now you're healthy, happy, blessed, further along than

288
00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:16,400
Speaker 1: you ever imagine. Somebody asked you. How did you get

289
00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:19,960
Speaker 1: here so quickly? Just tell him I got shot. God

290
00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:24,080
Speaker 1: propelled me, God promoted me, God vindicated me, God freed me.

291
00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:28,520
Speaker 1: This is what David did. He felt like he was

292
00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:32,879
Speaker 1: falling behind out in the shepherd's fields, taking care of sheep.

293
00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:36,840
Speaker 1: Nobody paid attention to him. He had big dreams, but

294
00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:40,520
Speaker 1: he didn't have any connections. His own father didn't really

295
00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:43,679
Speaker 1: believe in him. But all those years out in the

296
00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:48,399
Speaker 1: lonely shepherd's fields, God was carrying him. One day his

297
00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:53,320
Speaker 1: time came. He went out and defeated Goliath, and overnight

298
00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:57,720
Speaker 1: he became a national hero. He went from being an

299
00:17:57,880 --> 00:18:03,199
Speaker 1: unknown shepherd boy to be an admired, respected leader. That

300
00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:06,199
Speaker 1: should have taken him years, but God caused it to

301
00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:09,639
Speaker 1: happen in a fraction of the time. Just a few

302
00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:14,200
Speaker 1: minutes of destiny. Defeating that giant propelled him years down

303
00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:18,600
Speaker 1: the road. What was that God shooting him out? Well, Joel,

304
00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:21,640
Speaker 1: I don't think God's ever gonna shoot me out. I've

305
00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:24,040
Speaker 1: had a lot of bad breaks. I've gone through a

306
00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:27,400
Speaker 1: lot of disappointments in life. Well, think of it like this.

307
00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:30,639
Speaker 1: When you have a bow and arrow, the more you

308
00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:34,240
Speaker 1: pull the arrow back the further it's going to shoot.

309
00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:37,360
Speaker 1: If you just pull it back a little ways, no pressure,

310
00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:40,399
Speaker 1: no tension, it's not going to go very far. The

311
00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:44,600
Speaker 1: reason you've been pulled back it's not because God's trying

312
00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:47,560
Speaker 1: to punish you, not because there's nothing good in your future.

313
00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:51,800
Speaker 1: God has allowed you to be pulled back because he's

314
00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:56,680
Speaker 1: about to shoot you further than you can imagine. Your

315
00:18:56,840 --> 00:19:02,080
Speaker 1: destiny is much bigger than you realize. Like David, you

316
00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:07,080
Speaker 1: may feel like you're falling behind because of disappointments, bad breaks,

317
00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:10,320
Speaker 1: loss setbacks. You don't think you could ever get to

318
00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:14,000
Speaker 1: where you're supposed to be. Let me encourage you. When

319
00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:16,919
Speaker 1: God shoots you out, it's going to make up for

320
00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:21,119
Speaker 1: lost time. The doors God's going to open, the people

321
00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:24,159
Speaker 1: you're going to meet, the opportunities that are going to

322
00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:27,679
Speaker 1: come across your path are going to be bigger, better,

323
00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:31,760
Speaker 1: more rewarding than you ever thought possible. And when you're

324
00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:35,720
Speaker 1: being pulled back, don't get negative. Better God, why is

325
00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:39,040
Speaker 1: this happening? Turn it around. God. I may not like it,

326
00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:42,760
Speaker 1: I may be uncomfortable. These people aren't treating me right,

327
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:45,439
Speaker 1: But God, I know it's just a matter of time

328
00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:49,040
Speaker 1: before you release me and shoot me further than I

329
00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:52,560
Speaker 1: ever dreamed. When my father went to be with the

330
00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:55,919
Speaker 1: Lord back in nineteen ninety nine, I felt like I

331
00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:59,680
Speaker 1: was being pulled back. I could feel the pressure, the tension.

332
00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:03,160
Speaker 1: I lost a great friend, didn't know what was going

333
00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:06,280
Speaker 1: to happen to the church. But in the middle of

334
00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:09,639
Speaker 1: that difficulty, when in a sense it seemed like my

335
00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:12,840
Speaker 1: best days were behind me, at just the right time,

336
00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:16,359
Speaker 1: God released me and shot me to a new level

337
00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:20,359
Speaker 1: of my destiny. I got here quicker than I should have.

338
00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:26,000
Speaker 1: I didn't have the formal training, the experience, the qualifications.

339
00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:28,479
Speaker 1: I couldn't have made it happen on my own. It

340
00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:32,480
Speaker 1: was the hand of God. I've learned. When God is

341
00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:35,840
Speaker 1: ready to shoot you, he doesn't ask for your permission.

342
00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:40,080
Speaker 1: He doesn't check with the critics. He doesn't get approval

343
00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:43,920
Speaker 1: from your friends, family members, co workers. He doesn't look

344
00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:47,720
Speaker 1: at your bank account, your degrees, your confidence, your connections.

345
00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:52,400
Speaker 1: When it's your time, God simply propels you into your destiny.

346
00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:59,120
Speaker 1: No person can stop you, no bad break, no organization.

347
00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:03,600
Speaker 1: God has the final say. He breathes his life into you.

348
00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:08,280
Speaker 1: He's planned out your days, He's already lined up these

349
00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:13,000
Speaker 1: times of acceleration, times where your water will be turned

350
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:18,639
Speaker 1: to wine. Times where you'll sow and reap simultaneously. You

351
00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:21,720
Speaker 1: may feel like you're being pulled back right now, tension

352
00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:24,760
Speaker 1: doesn't seem like you can get ahead. Know this, You're

353
00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:28,320
Speaker 1: being pulled back for one reason, so God can shoot

354
00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:31,000
Speaker 1: you further. You need to get ready. This is a

355
00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:34,360
Speaker 1: year where God is going to launch you forward. You're

356
00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:38,280
Speaker 1: going to see acceleration. It's going to happen faster, be

357
00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:43,280
Speaker 1: so amazing. Like Amos prophesied, your head's gonna swim. You're

358
00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:46,399
Speaker 1: gonna think. I didn't see this coming. I never dreamed

359
00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:49,879
Speaker 1: I'd be this blessed, this happy, this healthy, this fulfilled.

360
00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:54,360
Speaker 1: That's the God of acceleration taking you where you could

361
00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:58,440
Speaker 1: not go on your own. In the Old Testament, there

362
00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:00,320
Speaker 1: had been a drought in the land for three and

363
00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:04,080
Speaker 1: a half years. The prophet Elijah went on top of

364
00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:07,679
Speaker 1: a mountain and began to pray for rain. His assistant

365
00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:10,960
Speaker 1: came back after six times of looking and said he

366
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:15,000
Speaker 1: saw a small cloud up in the sky. Elijah knew

367
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:17,120
Speaker 1: that was a sign that it was about to rain.

368
00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:20,680
Speaker 1: He said to Ahab, you better get in your chariot

369
00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:24,560
Speaker 1: and take off toward Jezreel. There's about to be a

370
00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:30,160
Speaker 1: huge rainstorm here. The scripture says that Elijah took off

371
00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:35,680
Speaker 1: running and he outran the chariot to Jezreel. God gave

372
00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:39,240
Speaker 1: him supernatural ability, caused him to go faster than he

373
00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:44,040
Speaker 1: should have. I read where the average horse can sprint

374
00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:48,240
Speaker 1: thirty five miles an hour, the average person fifteen miles

375
00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:52,000
Speaker 1: per hour, my brother Paul six point three miles per hour.

376
00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:58,320
Speaker 1: How could Elijah possibly outrun a horse? How could he

377
00:22:58,359 --> 00:23:02,000
Speaker 1: outrun a chariot? That doesn't like it makes sense? Here's

378
00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:05,960
Speaker 1: how God shot him out. In this year of acceleration,

379
00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:08,919
Speaker 1: God is going to speed you up. He's going to

380
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:12,480
Speaker 1: shoot you into promotion, shoot you into influence, shoot you

381
00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:17,040
Speaker 1: into new opportunities. Like Elijah, you're going to discover ability

382
00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:20,040
Speaker 1: that you didn't even know was in you. When I

383
00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:22,800
Speaker 1: was eight years old, I was in my backyard with

384
00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:25,800
Speaker 1: my father. We just raked up a bunch of leaves

385
00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:28,520
Speaker 1: and we had this huge pile that we were going

386
00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:33,080
Speaker 1: to burn. Normally, my grandfather would do this. He helped

387
00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:36,080
Speaker 1: us take care of our yard, and after a long

388
00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:38,960
Speaker 1: day of raking leaves, he would always finish it off

389
00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:43,760
Speaker 1: by burning them. But my father wasn't as experienced with

390
00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:47,920
Speaker 1: making a fire as my grandfather. Daddy went into shed

391
00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:52,200
Speaker 1: and got some accelerant out. You know, accelerant that's used

392
00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:55,320
Speaker 1: to make the fire burn faster and bigger and stronger.

393
00:23:55,760 --> 00:23:59,119
Speaker 1: I remember thinking, Granddaddy never uses this accelerant when he

394
00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:03,000
Speaker 1: makes a fire. I even asked my father, and he said, oh, yeah,

395
00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:04,639
Speaker 1: you want to put a whole lot of this on

396
00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:07,920
Speaker 1: to really get it going. And he poured that liquid

397
00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:11,400
Speaker 1: accelerant all over the leaves, the branches. The whole ground

398
00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:15,719
Speaker 1: was soaked with accelerant. He got a match out. I

399
00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:18,200
Speaker 1: was only eight years old, but I was smart enough

400
00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:22,840
Speaker 1: to go way way back. I even asked him again, Dad,

401
00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:25,920
Speaker 1: are you sure you're supposed to use his granddaddy Joel.

402
00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:28,320
Speaker 1: I was raised on a farm. I know what I'm doing.

403
00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:33,240
Speaker 1: He threw that match on. It was like a volcano erupted.

404
00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:39,040
Speaker 1: That fire shot up thirty forty feet in the air. Leaves, branches,

405
00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:43,119
Speaker 1: debris went everywhere. We wanted to get rid of the leaves.

406
00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:45,520
Speaker 1: We got rid of them. They went in our neighbor's yard.

407
00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:50,520
Speaker 1: A few seconds after that little mini explosion calmed down

408
00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:55,440
Speaker 1: my dad came over. His eyebrows were sins. He had

409
00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:59,840
Speaker 1: dirt leaves stuck to his face. But Daddy knew no defeat.

410
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:02,120
Speaker 1: He says, See, Joel, that's how you make a fire.

411
00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:08,200
Speaker 1: I thought, yeah, that's how you go to heaven today.

412
00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:14,240
Speaker 1: Here's my point. The more accelerant you put on, the

413
00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:17,760
Speaker 1: faster the fire is going to burn. In the same way,

414
00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:22,080
Speaker 1: Faith is the accelerant. Thanking God that the answer is

415
00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:26,920
Speaker 1: on the way, living with expectancy, meditating on his promises.

416
00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:31,239
Speaker 1: That's putting accelerant on what you're believing. For When we

417
00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:34,600
Speaker 1: go around negative discourse, isn't never gonna happen. I'll never

418
00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:37,560
Speaker 1: get well. That's like putting water on your fire. It's

419
00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:40,520
Speaker 1: going to keep it from spreading. Why don't you start

420
00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:44,640
Speaker 1: putting accelerant on your dreams? Father, Thank you that you're

421
00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:47,480
Speaker 1: opening doors that no man can shut. Thank you that

422
00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:51,440
Speaker 1: you're turning my water into wine. Put accelerant on your

423
00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:55,359
Speaker 1: healing father. Thank you that you're restoring health back into me.

424
00:25:55,760 --> 00:25:58,680
Speaker 1: That the number of my days you will fulfill. Put

425
00:25:58,760 --> 00:26:02,359
Speaker 1: some accelerant on your finances all through the year. Father,

426
00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:05,680
Speaker 1: Thank you that whatever I touch will prosper and succeed

427
00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:08,159
Speaker 1: that I am the head and not the tale. Do

428
00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:11,600
Speaker 1: like my father, put a whole lot on all through

429
00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:15,560
Speaker 1: the day. Keep thanking God that is coming, living with expectancy,

430
00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:19,280
Speaker 1: speaking words of faith and victory. Friends, this is a

431
00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:22,840
Speaker 1: year God is speeding things up. You've entered into a

432
00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:27,560
Speaker 1: time of acceleration, like Amos prophesied, where you'll sow and

433
00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:31,800
Speaker 1: reap simultaneously. Like Ezekiel said, where God is going to

434
00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:35,280
Speaker 1: shoot you out. You may have been pulled back, you

435
00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:38,480
Speaker 1: feel stuffed, You've had some disappointments. You better get ready.

436
00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:40,879
Speaker 1: This is a new day. God's about to shoot you

437
00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:44,679
Speaker 1: further than you can imagine. Keep putting that accelerant on.

438
00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:48,720
Speaker 1: If you'll do this, I believe and declare, God is

439
00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:52,960
Speaker 1: going to accelerate your dreams coming to pass, accelerate your healing,

440
00:26:53,359 --> 00:26:57,480
Speaker 1: accelerate promotions in Jesus' name, if you receive it, can

441
00:26:57,560 --> 00:26:57,920
Speaker 1: you say it?

442
00:26:58,000 --> 00:26:58,119
Speaker 3: Then?

443
00:26:58,160 --> 00:27:03,240
Speaker 1: Today we never like to close our broadcast without giving

444
00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:06,240
Speaker 1: you an opportunity to make Jesus the lord of your life.

445
00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:11,080
Speaker 1: Would you pray with me? Just say, Lord, Jesus, I'll

446
00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:16,160
Speaker 1: repent of my sins. Come into my heart. I'll make

447
00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:19,920
Speaker 1: you my lord and Savior. Friends, if you prayed that

448
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:23,159
Speaker 1: simple prayer, we believe you got born again. Get in

449
00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:26,520
Speaker 1: a good Bible based church, Keep God first place. He's

450
00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:28,880
Speaker 1: going to take your places that you've never dreamed.

451
00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:34,480
Speaker 3: What if every plan you set, every habit you formed,

452
00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:38,480
Speaker 3: and every decision you made became a pathway to see

453
00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:41,199
Speaker 3: God move in your life.

454
00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:44,200
Speaker 1: We all have hopes and dreams things were believing for.

455
00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:48,000
Speaker 1: When you start the year in faith expecting God's goodness,

456
00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:50,760
Speaker 1: you are setting the tone for a blessed new year.

457
00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:53,280
Speaker 1: And we'd love to send you our twenty twenty six

458
00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:56,720
Speaker 1: Faith p Today Planner. You can write down your dreams

459
00:27:56,760 --> 00:27:59,800
