Speaker 3: We'll keep you encouraged and inspired.

14
00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:35,280
Speaker 1: But thanks again for tuning in and thank you for

15
00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:38,320
Speaker 1: coming out today. I like to start with something funny,

16
00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:41,640
Speaker 1: and I heard about this airplane that was about to crash.

17
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:45,560
Speaker 1: There were four passengers but only three parachutes. The first

18
00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,239
Speaker 1: passenger said, I'm a leading heart surgeon.

19
00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:49,519
Speaker 3: My patients need me.

20
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:53,680
Speaker 1: He took the first parachute and jumped. The second passenger said,

21
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:57,080
Speaker 1: I'm a rocket scientist, one of the smartest men alive.

22
00:00:57,480 --> 00:01:00,800
Speaker 3: My country needs me. He took the second pair and jump.

23
00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:05,640
Speaker 1: The third passenger, Pope John Paul, said to The fourth passenger,

24
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:08,840
Speaker 1: a ten year old boy scout, son, I'm old and frail.

25
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:11,399
Speaker 1: I don't have much time left. You can have the

26
00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:15,080
Speaker 1: last parachute. The boy scout said, sir, don't worry, there

27
00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:18,720
Speaker 1: are still two parachutes left. You see the smartest man alive.

28
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:23,320
Speaker 1: He just jumped out with my backpack, saying, like you

29
00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:26,440
Speaker 1: mean it. This is my Bible. I am what it

30
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:28,959
Speaker 1: says I am. I have what it says I have.

31
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:32,080
Speaker 1: I can do what it says I can do. Today

32
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:35,600
Speaker 1: I will be taught the word of God. I boldly confess.

33
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:39,520
Speaker 1: My mind is alert, my heart is receptive. I will

34
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:43,200
Speaker 1: never be the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you.

35
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:47,240
Speaker 1: I want to talk to you today about something new

36
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:51,040
Speaker 1: is coming. It's easy to get stuck in life when

37
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:54,640
Speaker 1: we've gone through disappointments, had a set back, tried in

38
00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:57,520
Speaker 1: our dream didn't work out. We can settle where we

39
00:01:57,600 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 1: are and think this is as good as it gets.

40
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:03,680
Speaker 1: But God said in Isaiah, I am doing a new thing.

41
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:07,920
Speaker 3: Even now it springs forth. Can you not perceive it?

42
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 1: God is about to do something new in your life.

43
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:14,400
Speaker 1: He didn't create you to get stuck at one level

44
00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:18,799
Speaker 1: and stay there. He has new opportunities, new relationships, new

45
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:22,360
Speaker 1: favor It may look like you'll always struggle in.

46
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:24,200
Speaker 3: Your finances, they'll get ready.

47
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:29,240
Speaker 1: Something new is coming, promotion, opportunity, doors opening that you

48
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:33,000
Speaker 1: never dream would open. The medical report says you have

49
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:34,320
Speaker 1: to live with that sickness.

50
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 3: It's been a long time.

51
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:39,960
Speaker 1: God is saying, I'm doing a new thing. I'm restoring health.

52
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:45,760
Speaker 1: I'm breathing energy, vitality, freshness into your body. That child

53
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:49,040
Speaker 1: has been off course for years. You've accepted that he'll

54
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:52,600
Speaker 1: never change. That would be true. But God is doing

55
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:56,919
Speaker 1: a new thing. Forces of darkness are being broken. Purpose

56
00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:59,640
Speaker 1: and destiny are rising up. You're about to.

57
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:00,600
Speaker 3: See a turn around.

58
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:04,480
Speaker 1: Or maybe that addiction has hindered you your whole life.

59
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:07,840
Speaker 1: You tried to stop, gone to counseling, nothing help.

60
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:09,160
Speaker 3: This is a new day.

61
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:13,040
Speaker 1: Changs that have held you back are being loosed. What's

62
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:15,200
Speaker 1: kept you in captivity is.

63
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:16,079
Speaker 3: Coming to an end.

64
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:20,080
Speaker 1: Now you have to do your part and receive the prophecy.

65
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:24,320
Speaker 1: You can't go around thinking you're stock. The problem's too big.

66
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:27,440
Speaker 1: It's been this way too long. Turn it around, Lord,

67
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:30,760
Speaker 1: I believe what you promised. Thank you that you're doing

68
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 1: something new.

69
00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:33,160
Speaker 3: In my life.

70
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:38,120
Speaker 1: When Isaiah prophesied this, the Israelites were in captivity in Babylon.

71
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:41,360
Speaker 1: They had been there a long time, year after year,

72
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:46,040
Speaker 1: nothing changing. I'm sure they thought, we'll always struggle, We'll

73
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:50,320
Speaker 1: always be oppressed. Then Isaiah showed up and said, get ready,

74
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:54,080
Speaker 1: God is doing a new thing. They could have thought, yeah, right,

75
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:57,520
Speaker 1: have you seen these enemies. Look how powerful they are.

76
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:01,440
Speaker 1: All the circumstances say we're stuck. We'll never live an

77
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:05,400
Speaker 1: abundant life, never own our own homes, our children.

78
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 3: Will never be free.

79
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:09,760
Speaker 1: Don't talk yourself out of the new thing God wants

80
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:12,920
Speaker 1: to do. The odds may be against you, but the

81
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:16,760
Speaker 1: most high God is for you. The Israelites had been

82
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:21,200
Speaker 1: through many struggles, had unfair things happen. They had made mistakes,

83
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 1: brought the trouble on themselves. They could have been sitting

84
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:30,040
Speaker 1: in self pity, discouraged. But Isaiah said, forget the former things.

85
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:33,800
Speaker 1: Do not dwell on the past. Behold, God is doing

86
00:04:33,880 --> 00:04:37,800
Speaker 1: a new thing. The principle is if you're dwelling on

87
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:41,400
Speaker 1: the past, you won't see the new thing. If you're

88
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:45,000
Speaker 1: focus on who hurts you, what wasn't fair? Why did

89
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:49,119
Speaker 1: this friend walk away? Then you'll miss your destiny. God

90
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:53,640
Speaker 1: is saying, forget the former things. Quit dwelling on your mistakes.

91
00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:55,039
Speaker 3: This is a new day.

92
00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 1: Living in regrets will keep you from new opportunities. Reliving

93
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:03,560
Speaker 1: your mistakes will stop the new favor. As long as

94
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:06,279
Speaker 1: you're looking back at the old, you won't see the new.

95
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:10,640
Speaker 1: When you drive home today, there's a big windshield in

96
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 1: front of you and a very small rear view mirror.

97
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:17,839
Speaker 1: The reason it's so small is because what's behind you

98
00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:20,280
Speaker 1: is not nearly as important.

99
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 3: As what's in front of you.

100
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 1: Where you're going is what matters, not where you've been.

101
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:28,920
Speaker 1: Is there something you need to forget so you can

102
00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:32,200
Speaker 1: see the new thing? Something you need to quit dwelling on,

103
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:36,040
Speaker 1: so you can step into the favor and abundance that God.

104
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:39,840
Speaker 3: Has for you. When someone hurts you, they do you wrong.

105
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:42,640
Speaker 1: If you keep thinking about it, then you're letting them

106
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:43,800
Speaker 1: continue to hurt you.

107
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:47,520
Speaker 3: Don't give them your power. You have to let it go.

108
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:48,960
Speaker 3: Give it to God.

109
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:53,279
Speaker 1: He saw what they did, He saw your tears, your

110
00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:56,080
Speaker 1: heart ache. He has beauty for those ashes.

111
00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:57,320
Speaker 3: But here's the key.

112
00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:00,480
Speaker 1: You have to let go of the ashes before you

113
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:03,480
Speaker 1: can see the beauty. It's in exchange.

114
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:07,480
Speaker 3: God says, you give me the ashes, you quit dwelling.

115
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:10,400
Speaker 1: On the hurts, You forgive them, You move forward with

116
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:13,520
Speaker 1: your life, and I'll give you the beauty. I'll do

117
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:17,240
Speaker 1: something so great, so rewarding, that you don't even think

118
00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:20,720
Speaker 1: about what you lost. The new thing God has for you,

119
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:26,280
Speaker 1: the new people, the new opportunities, the promotion, healing, influence,

120
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:28,400
Speaker 1: will be better than you ever dreamed.

121
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:31,440
Speaker 3: The Israelites were in captivity.

122
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:35,440
Speaker 1: Not only were the Babylonians holding them, but all around

123
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:39,560
Speaker 1: them was the desert. Even if they escaped, they couldn't survive.

124
00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:43,719
Speaker 1: But Isaiah explained what the new thing was. He said,

125
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:47,440
Speaker 1: God will make rivers in the desert. What looks like

126
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:49,039
Speaker 1: burn ground will.

127
00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:50,560
Speaker 3: Be turned into fertile land.

128
00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:54,599
Speaker 1: God was saying, this new thing that I'm about to do,

129
00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:58,320
Speaker 1: it's not going to be natural. It's going to be supernatural.

130
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:01,680
Speaker 1: That's why you can't figure it out. It's not going

131
00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:04,719
Speaker 1: to be logical. What God is about to do is

132
00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:09,120
Speaker 1: going to be unusual, uncommon, out of the ordinary. You're

133
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:12,320
Speaker 1: going to see rivers where there should be dry places.

134
00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:15,080
Speaker 3: The scripture says, even in.

135
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:19,080
Speaker 1: Famine, the righteous will have more than enough seems like

136
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:22,360
Speaker 1: in famine you would barely get by. But God does

137
00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:26,640
Speaker 1: things that defies the odds. Don't limit this new thing

138
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:28,520
Speaker 1: to what you think can happen.

139
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:30,280
Speaker 3: If I can just learn.

140
00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:32,480
Speaker 1: To live with this sickness, No, God is going to

141
00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:35,160
Speaker 1: free you from the sickness. If I can just pay

142
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:37,880
Speaker 1: my bills, Joe, I'll be happy. God's going to bring

143
00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:41,000
Speaker 1: you into overflow. If my child will just stay out

144
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:43,760
Speaker 1: of trouble. That child is going to do great things.

145
00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:48,240
Speaker 1: You may not see how that's okay. It's not up

146
00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:49,760
Speaker 1: to you. It's up to God.

147
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:52,360
Speaker 3: He's the one that makes rivers in the desert.

148
00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:57,880
Speaker 1: He's the one that parts red seas, cures the lepers, multiplies.

149
00:07:57,240 --> 00:07:59,000
Speaker 3: The food to feed thousands.

150
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:03,640
Speaker 1: Lady told me how her relative had passed away and

151
00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:07,440
Speaker 1: left her a small inheritance. She decided to invest it

152
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:10,360
Speaker 1: in real estate. She bought another house and was going

153
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:13,280
Speaker 1: to rent it out. The first people that came along

154
00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:16,560
Speaker 1: seemed like fine people. They worked for a nonprofit that

155
00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:20,320
Speaker 1: helped children. She thought this couple would be perfect. She

156
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:22,960
Speaker 1: didn't do all the background checks that she should have

157
00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:26,480
Speaker 1: and turned out they were dishonest. Three months into the lease,

158
00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:29,240
Speaker 1: they stopped paying rent and didn't tell her.

159
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:30,920
Speaker 3: She had it set up to.

160
00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:33,679
Speaker 1: Go to the bank and she thought everything was fine.

161
00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:35,679
Speaker 3: They kept her from getting the notices.

162
00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:39,080
Speaker 1: Well, several years went by and eventually the house was

163
00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:39,960
Speaker 1: foreclosed on.

164
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:42,280
Speaker 3: She lost all of her money.

165
00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:46,120
Speaker 1: She could have been bitter, upset, tried to get revenge,

166
00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:49,600
Speaker 1: but she said, I didn't make a big deal about it.

167
00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:51,439
Speaker 3: That takes maturity.

168
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:55,199
Speaker 1: It's easy to make a big deal when we're hurt betrayed.

169
00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:58,240
Speaker 1: Why did this happen? I'm going to get even. You

170
00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:01,560
Speaker 1: have to forget the former things. Do not dwell on

171
00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:06,360
Speaker 1: the past. That means don't let the hurts, the bad breaks,

172
00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:09,959
Speaker 1: the times you were taking advantage of sour the rest

173
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:12,480
Speaker 1: of your life cause you to live with a chip

174
00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:13,280
Speaker 1: on your shoulder.

175
00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:15,760
Speaker 3: God knows how to vindicate you.

176
00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:19,680
Speaker 1: He knows how to pay you back. Year after year,

177
00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:23,240
Speaker 1: she kept being her best. Nobody even knew she went

178
00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:27,280
Speaker 1: through the bad break. She didn't go around complaining, discouraged.

179
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:31,000
Speaker 1: She had a song of praise. God sees when you're

180
00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:34,160
Speaker 1: in the desert, He's watching you in the lonely nights.

181
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:37,760
Speaker 1: The times you were betrayed, you felt like giving up,

182
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:40,560
Speaker 1: but you kept going. You could have held a grudge,

183
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:43,880
Speaker 1: but you forgame. You kept moving forward. Wasn't easy.

184
00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:46,679
Speaker 3: You were hurting. The pain was real, but you didn't

185
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:47,520
Speaker 3: let it stop you.

186
00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:51,160
Speaker 1: Six years later, this lady got a check in the

187
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:55,000
Speaker 1: mail unexpectedly from the bank for one hundred and twenty

188
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:58,800
Speaker 1: five thousand dollars. They said, we sold the property and

189
00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:00,120
Speaker 1: this money belongs to you.

190
00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:02,760
Speaker 3: She didn't even pay that much for it. She made

191
00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:03,240
Speaker 3: a prophet.

192
00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:07,440
Speaker 1: God knows how to make rivers in the desert. He

193
00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:11,200
Speaker 1: knows how to pay you back for the wrongs. This

194
00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:14,559
Speaker 1: new thing he's going to do is going to be supernatural.

195
00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:18,400
Speaker 1: He's going to turn barren ground into fertile ground.

196
00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:21,120
Speaker 3: What looks like a loss is going to turn into

197
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:21,600
Speaker 3: a game.

198
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:25,000
Speaker 1: Seems like a setback, but really it's a set up

199
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:28,360
Speaker 1: for God to show out in your life. See the

200
00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:33,200
Speaker 1: desert represents barrenness, no growth. You're doing the right thing,

201
00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:37,199
Speaker 1: but your business isn't increasing, your marriage is not getting better,

202
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:41,240
Speaker 1: your health not improving. You were passed over for another promotion.

203
00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:45,120
Speaker 1: You're in the desert in those dry places. You could

204
00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:48,720
Speaker 1: be discouraged. Think it will never change, or get ready.

205
00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:52,400
Speaker 1: God is about to make rivers in that desert. He's

206
00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:57,080
Speaker 1: about to turn that barren land into fertile ground. Like this, lady,

207
00:10:57,440 --> 00:11:01,040
Speaker 1: you're going to see increase that you can't explain, favor

208
00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:04,840
Speaker 1: that you didn't deserve, healing that doesn't make sense, freedom

209
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:09,200
Speaker 1: from things that have held you back. When Isaiah prophesied this,

210
00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:12,559
Speaker 1: the people could have said, thanks Isaiah, but we've had

211
00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:16,360
Speaker 1: too many bad breaks. This opposition is too big. We'll

212
00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:20,000
Speaker 1: never get out. You can stop the prophecy from coming

213
00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:24,200
Speaker 1: to pass. The Psalmist said, they limited the Holy One

214
00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:24,920
Speaker 1: of Israel.

215
00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:27,560
Speaker 3: You can limit what God wants to do.

216
00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:32,800
Speaker 1: In your life by doubt, negativity, speaking defeat. My business

217
00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:35,840
Speaker 1: is never going to grow. I'll never meet the right person.

218
00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:38,480
Speaker 1: I hadn't had a date in years. Have you seen

219
00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:42,320
Speaker 1: all that I've been through. You are canceling out the prophecy.

220
00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:45,880
Speaker 1: You may have obstacles that look too big. You don't

221
00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:49,480
Speaker 1: see how you can accomplish that dream. Feels like you're stuck.

222
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:53,000
Speaker 1: You're in captivity, restricted by your environment.

223
00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:56,040
Speaker 3: God is saying to you what he said to them.

224
00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:59,640
Speaker 1: I am doing a new thing. I am making rivers

225
00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:03,160
Speaker 1: in the those deserts. I'm turning to baring places into

226
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:03,960
Speaker 1: fertile ground.

227
00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:06,520
Speaker 3: Now get in agreement with God.

228
00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:10,800
Speaker 1: Yes, Lord, this is for me today. I'll receive it

229
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:14,280
Speaker 1: into my spirit. I'm getting ready for something new. Lord,

230
00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:17,800
Speaker 1: amaze me with your goodness. Turn this problem around. God,

231
00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:22,280
Speaker 1: show out in my life. It's significant that this promise

232
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:26,600
Speaker 1: is in the present tense. God didn't say I'm about

233
00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:29,560
Speaker 1: to do a new thing one day. I'm gonna work

234
00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:32,640
Speaker 1: in your life. Sometime in the future. I'm gonna show

235
00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:36,480
Speaker 1: you my goodness. God said, I am doing a new thing.

236
00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:40,920
Speaker 1: It's already started. What God has for you is already

237
00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:45,079
Speaker 1: set in motion. This new thing is already in process.

238
00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:50,520
Speaker 1: The scripture says, now it springs forth. Spring fourth is

239
00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:51,360
Speaker 1: used when a.

240
00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:53,120
Speaker 3: Seed is planted in the ground.

241
00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:56,840
Speaker 1: You can't see anything happening, but the seed has opened up.

242
00:12:57,320 --> 00:13:00,680
Speaker 1: It's springing forth, even though it may not come visible

243
00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:07,360
Speaker 1: for some time. There are promotions, healings, breakthroughs, divine connections

244
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:07,719
Speaker 1: that have.

245
00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:11,520
Speaker 3: Already sprung forth. They're already en route.

246
00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:14,840
Speaker 1: Just because you don't see it doesn't mean it's not coming.

247
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:18,480
Speaker 1: This is where your faith has to kick in. There

248
00:13:18,520 --> 00:13:21,720
Speaker 1: should be an expectancy not looking back.

249
00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:23,880
Speaker 3: This pandemic is so hard.

250
00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:27,880
Speaker 1: My back's been hurting this company did me wrong. I'm

251
00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:31,880
Speaker 1: in the desert, Joel. That's why I'm discouraged. As long

252
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:33,680
Speaker 1: as you're looking back, you're going.

253
00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:34,480
Speaker 3: To miss the new thing.

254
00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:38,280
Speaker 1: You have to get prepared in your thinking by faith.

255
00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:41,320
Speaker 1: I can see the healing that's coming. I can see

256
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:44,800
Speaker 1: promotion on its way. I can see my child turning around.

257
00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:49,320
Speaker 1: I can see myself free from this addiction. Now it

258
00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:53,079
Speaker 1: springs forth, not one day, not in the sweet by

259
00:13:53,120 --> 00:13:53,920
Speaker 1: and by.

260
00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:57,000
Speaker 3: Today God is doing a new thing. Today.

261
00:13:57,160 --> 00:14:00,440
Speaker 1: God is making rivers in your desert. Today, God is

262
00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:03,320
Speaker 1: turning your dry places into abundant places.

263
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:06,160
Speaker 3: If you will stay in faith, you're going to see

264
00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:09,800
Speaker 3: the new thing. Like God did for the Israelites. He's

265
00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:12,160
Speaker 3: going to bring you out of captivity.

266
00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:15,960
Speaker 1: He's going to free you from limitations and negative things

267
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:17,240
Speaker 1: that have been passed.

268
00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:19,080
Speaker 3: Down in your family line.

269
00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:25,080
Speaker 1: In this new thing, God is going to break generational curses. Addictions, poverty,

270
00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:29,000
Speaker 1: depression will no longer hold you back. There's about to

271
00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:33,000
Speaker 1: be streams in that desert. That barren land is about

272
00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:36,920
Speaker 1: to be turned into fertile land, an abundant land, dreams

273
00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:40,200
Speaker 1: coming to pass. He's going to catapult you to where

274
00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:42,200
Speaker 1: no one in your family has gone.

275
00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:44,160
Speaker 3: I talk to a lady.

276
00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:48,480
Speaker 1: She's a single parent living in Compton, California. There's a

277
00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:51,280
Speaker 1: lot of great people in Compton, but of course it's

278
00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:56,360
Speaker 1: known for being a rough environment gains drugs. Her husband

279
00:14:56,680 --> 00:15:01,280
Speaker 1: was in the federal penitentiary. She's a schoolteacher for thirteen years.

280
00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:04,640
Speaker 1: She raised her son by herself. There were a lot

281
00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:07,440
Speaker 1: of negative influences, opportunities for.

282
00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:10,280
Speaker 3: Him to get off course. But she's a praying mother.

283
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:13,520
Speaker 1: Even though she was in a dry place, she knew

284
00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:15,400
Speaker 1: God could make streams.

285
00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:15,480
Speaker 3: In the desert.

286
00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:19,920
Speaker 1: Seemed like they were held captive by their environment, a

287
00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:23,880
Speaker 1: victim of their circumstances. Her son could have become a

288
00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:27,880
Speaker 1: statistic another child struggling off course on drugs.

289
00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:30,240
Speaker 3: But she believed God was.

290
00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:33,480
Speaker 1: Doing a new thing, that he was working behind the scenes.

291
00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:37,440
Speaker 1: Every morning before they went to school, they would listen

292
00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:38,479
Speaker 1: to our messagism.

293
00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:42,160
Speaker 3: Get the day started off in faith and hope and victory.

294
00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:45,200
Speaker 1: Her dream was for her son to go to college.

295
00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:48,920
Speaker 1: All the odds were against him. She didn't have the funds,

296
00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:50,560
Speaker 1: his father in prison.

297
00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:52,040
Speaker 3: His senior year.

298
00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:56,160
Speaker 1: They applied to several different collegism were waiting to hear back.

299
00:15:56,840 --> 00:15:59,520
Speaker 1: One morning on their way to school, they heard me

300
00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:03,640
Speaker 1: talking of about how God has unprecedented favor, how he

301
00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:06,280
Speaker 1: can make things happen that we can't make happen, how

302
00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:09,240
Speaker 1: he wants to do a new thing. She heard that

303
00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:12,400
Speaker 1: promise and something came alive on the inside.

304
00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:13,880
Speaker 3: She knew that was for them.

305
00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:18,360
Speaker 1: Later that day, he received a handwritten letter in the mail.

306
00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:23,320
Speaker 1: It said, congratulations, You've been accepted in the Harvard's University.

307
00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:29,480
Speaker 1: He was the first African American student ever accepted from Compton.

308
00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:33,840
Speaker 1: God knows how to make rivers in the desert. He

309
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:39,640
Speaker 1: knows how to bring you out of captivity, out of struggle, lack, addictions, depression,

310
00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:43,200
Speaker 1: can't get a good break. Get ready. Your time is coming.

311
00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:46,400
Speaker 1: God is doing a new thing. You may be in

312
00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:49,040
Speaker 1: a dry place, but you're not going to stay there.

313
00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:55,320
Speaker 1: Water is coming, Favor is coming, promotion, healing, freedom is coming.

314
00:16:56,040 --> 00:17:00,680
Speaker 1: Get your hopes up, start expecting God's favor, believing for

315
00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:04,199
Speaker 1: the unusual. God wants to make you an example of

316
00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:08,800
Speaker 1: his goodness. He's already set in motion something better than

317
00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:09,800
Speaker 1: you can imagine.

318
00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:12,880
Speaker 3: You can't see it yet, but that doesn't mean it's

319
00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:13,639
Speaker 3: not in Ralph.

320
00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:17,760
Speaker 1: Keep believing, Keep talking like it's on the way. Keep

321
00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:20,600
Speaker 1: doing the right thing, like with them, You're going to

322
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:25,399
Speaker 1: see God exceed your expectations today. This young man is

323
00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:29,240
Speaker 1: a senior at Harvarden. Recently he was chosen as a

324
00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:33,199
Speaker 1: Rhodes Scholar, one of only thirty two from America. Not

325
00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:36,399
Speaker 1: long ago, he was accepted in the Yale Law School.

326
00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:39,560
Speaker 1: If you could see what God is doing behind the

327
00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:43,600
Speaker 1: scenes in your life, you would be amazed. He's already

328
00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:48,199
Speaker 1: lined up the good breaks, the right people, solutions to problems.

329
00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:51,480
Speaker 1: The new thing is not going to be ordinary. It's

330
00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:54,880
Speaker 1: going to catapult you ahead. You're not going to stay

331
00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:58,560
Speaker 1: in any kind of captivity. Don't believe those lies that

332
00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:02,720
Speaker 1: you're stuck at my environment. Look at how I was raised.

333
00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:06,000
Speaker 1: I don't have the funds for my dreams. I'll always

334
00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:09,639
Speaker 1: be restricted by these limitations. That's what it looked like

335
00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:12,760
Speaker 1: for this young man. That's how it looked for the Israelites.

336
00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:16,040
Speaker 1: But God showed up and said, I'm doing a new thing.

337
00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:18,720
Speaker 1: I'm gonna make rivers in those deserts.

338
00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:22,919
Speaker 3: God is saying that to you. Where you are is

339
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:24,000
Speaker 3: not your destiny.

340
00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:28,159
Speaker 1: You haven't reached your limits, you haven't seen your best days.

341
00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:31,200
Speaker 3: This new thing is going to be something that you've

342
00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:31,800
Speaker 3: never seen.

343
00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:37,040
Speaker 1: The scripture says, can you not perceive it? It implies

344
00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:40,040
Speaker 1: that God can be doing it, but there's no sign

345
00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:43,000
Speaker 1: of it. Joel, I don't see anything new happening in

346
00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:47,000
Speaker 1: my life. I'm still struggling, I'm still lonely, still sick,

347
00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:50,040
Speaker 1: i still have this problem at work. Yes, but what

348
00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:53,520
Speaker 1: you can't see is the new thing has already sprung forth.

349
00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:55,119
Speaker 3: It's already in motion.

350
00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:59,120
Speaker 1: This mother could have thought nothing was happening for many

351
00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:02,480
Speaker 1: years when her son was thirteen. She didn't have the

352
00:19:02,520 --> 00:19:06,440
Speaker 1: funds for college fourteen, no funds fifteen.

353
00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:06,720
Speaker 3: Nothing better.

354
00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:10,360
Speaker 1: She was in the desert, didn't see any sign of rivers,

355
00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:11,919
Speaker 1: no sign that things.

356
00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:13,040
Speaker 3: Were going to change.

357
00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:16,160
Speaker 1: But just because you don't see anything, does it mean

358
00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:19,439
Speaker 1: it's not on the way At the right time, it's.

359
00:19:19,320 --> 00:19:20,160
Speaker 3: Going to show up.

360
00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:24,440
Speaker 1: You could see your new thing tomorrow. You could see

361
00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:28,400
Speaker 1: your breakthrough this week. You could get that scholarship this month.

362
00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:32,920
Speaker 1: You could see your healing, your promotion, your abundance this year.

363
00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:36,040
Speaker 1: When God says he's going to do a new thing,

364
00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:39,560
Speaker 1: that means it's not going to be like the old thing.

365
00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:43,639
Speaker 1: It's going to be different. The new thing may not

366
00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:47,280
Speaker 1: be what you were expecting. It may not happen the

367
00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:50,600
Speaker 1: way you thought it would. The Israelites could have thought

368
00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:54,920
Speaker 1: God just defeat these Babylonians and will live here. They

369
00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:57,360
Speaker 1: didn't think that God would take them into the desert.

370
00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:00,919
Speaker 1: How could they survive out there. God was going to

371
00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:03,400
Speaker 1: do it a different way. He was going to make

372
00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:07,520
Speaker 1: streams in the desert. Stay open for how God is

373
00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:10,040
Speaker 1: going to do it. Don't put him in a box

374
00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:13,560
Speaker 1: and limit him to one way. Most of the time,

375
00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:16,600
Speaker 1: the way we want it done is less than what

376
00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:19,560
Speaker 1: God has in mind. What He has planned will be

377
00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:24,359
Speaker 1: much bigger, much better. Trust him to do it his way.

378
00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:26,520
Speaker 1: If we're set and how we want it to happen,

379
00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:28,120
Speaker 1: we can miss the new thing.

380
00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:31,640
Speaker 3: I was in another city driving a rental car.

381
00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:35,760
Speaker 1: Recently, Victoria ran into the store to shop for a minute.

382
00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:37,840
Speaker 1: I waited in the car and was going to make

383
00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:40,879
Speaker 1: some phone calls. She said it'd be about fifteen minutes.

384
00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:45,560
Speaker 1: After an hour, my phone battery died. I usually bring

385
00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:48,240
Speaker 1: my phone charger to plug into the car, but I

386
00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:51,520
Speaker 1: forgot it. I looked in the glove compartment for one,

387
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:53,440
Speaker 1: looked in Victoria's bag.

388
00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:55,159
Speaker 3: Maybe she had one, but nothing.

389
00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:58,280
Speaker 1: I sat there and waited and waited, thinking about all

390
00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:00,919
Speaker 1: the work I could be doing. At one point I

391
00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:04,000
Speaker 1: looked down by the gearshift and I saw this rubber

392
00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:07,760
Speaker 1: pad about the size of a phone. I thought that's interesting,

393
00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:10,680
Speaker 1: and I sat my phone there. I heard my phone

394
00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:15,199
Speaker 1: buzz it started charging. I had a charger the whole time,

395
00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:17,360
Speaker 1: but it wasn't what I was used to.

396
00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:20,000
Speaker 3: I thought there would be a cord and I would

397
00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:20,920
Speaker 3: have to plug it in.

398
00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:24,440
Speaker 1: Can I tell you some of the new things God

399
00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:27,000
Speaker 1: is going to do in your life is not going to.

400
00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:28,200
Speaker 3: Be what you're expecting.

401
00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:32,840
Speaker 1: He's going to do it a different way, with different people,

402
00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:35,000
Speaker 1: different circumstances.

403
00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:38,000
Speaker 3: Could it be that God is doing a new thing

404
00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:41,359
Speaker 3: now and you don't perceive it. He's opening a.

405
00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:43,640
Speaker 1: Door, but you don't want to go through it. It's

406
00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:46,280
Speaker 1: not what you thought it would look like. He's bringing

407
00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:50,280
Speaker 1: people across your path that are divine connections, but they're

408
00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:51,760
Speaker 1: not what you were expecting.

409
00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:55,520
Speaker 3: Don't get set in your way. The new thing may

410
00:21:55,560 --> 00:21:57,760
Speaker 3: not look like what you had in mind.

411
00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:01,560
Speaker 1: A few years after I started ar administering, the church

412
00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:05,800
Speaker 1: began to grow. I thought we would build a new auditorium.

413
00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:08,000
Speaker 1: That's the way I had seen my father do it

414
00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:12,280
Speaker 1: growing up. He had built Sanctuary. After Sanctuary. We found

415
00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:15,440
Speaker 1: some property right off the freeway by the other location.

416
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:18,800
Speaker 1: It seemed perfect to me, but when we went to

417
00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:21,720
Speaker 1: close on it, the owner sold it out from under us.

418
00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:25,240
Speaker 3: He didn't keep his word. I was disappointed. I knew

419
00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:27,080
Speaker 3: that property was supposed to be ours.

420
00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:30,919
Speaker 1: We found another one hundred acre track not far away,

421
00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:32,360
Speaker 1: the same thing happened.

422
00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:35,639
Speaker 3: I couldn't understand why these doors kept closing.

423
00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:38,760
Speaker 1: There were no more large tracts of land to build

424
00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:40,000
Speaker 1: on it by the other location.

425
00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:43,160
Speaker 3: My father always said that he would never move the church.

426
00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:46,560
Speaker 1: My mind wasn't open for the new thing that God

427
00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:50,679
Speaker 1: had in store. About six months later, the Compact Center

428
00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:51,600
Speaker 1: came available.

429
00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:54,720
Speaker 3: I never dreamed we could have this building.

430
00:22:55,119 --> 00:22:58,560
Speaker 1: This was so much bigger and better than I ever imagined.

431
00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:01,520
Speaker 1: It was a three year battle, but we saw the

432
00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:05,120
Speaker 1: hand of God make rivers in the desert, move giants

433
00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:08,760
Speaker 1: out of the way, bring the right people to help us.

434
00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:13,360
Speaker 1: We had a consultant that was very influential, knew all

435
00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:16,280
Speaker 1: the inner workings of the city. He had never been

436
00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:19,520
Speaker 1: to church, didn't have anything to do with God or faith.

437
00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:22,520
Speaker 3: He partied, used bad language.

438
00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:25,080
Speaker 1: Curse people out, but he said, Joel, I like you,

439
00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:28,200
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna help you get this building. God has

440
00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:31,440
Speaker 1: already lined up the people you need for the new thing.

441
00:23:32,080 --> 00:23:35,080
Speaker 3: Stay open. It may not happen.

442
00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:38,520
Speaker 1: The way you're expecting, but can I encourage you. God's

443
00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:43,200
Speaker 1: way will be better, bigger, more rewarding, more fulfilling.

444
00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:45,600
Speaker 3: Don't limit what.

445
00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:48,080
Speaker 1: You've seen in the past to what God is going

446
00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:51,240
Speaker 1: to do in your future. God never does his greatest

447
00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:55,680
Speaker 1: feats in your yesterdays. They're always in your tomorrows. God

448
00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:58,919
Speaker 1: said in Isaiah, I am the one that opened a

449
00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:02,640
Speaker 1: way through the water, making a dry path through the sea.

450
00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:06,720
Speaker 1: I called forth the mighty armies of Pharaoh and drowned

451
00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:09,879
Speaker 1: them in the waters. But forget about all of that.

452
00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:13,080
Speaker 1: It's nothing compared to what I'm about to do.

453
00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:17,520
Speaker 3: For I am doing a brand new thing. This brand new.

454
00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:20,280
Speaker 1: Thing God is about to do is not going to

455
00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:23,640
Speaker 1: be like anything you've seen in the past. We can

456
00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:26,600
Speaker 1: all look back and see where God has parted red

457
00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:29,280
Speaker 1: seas in our lives, where He opened the door that

458
00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:32,040
Speaker 1: shouldn't have opened had us in the right place, at

459
00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:35,200
Speaker 1: the right time, and we got the job. We met

460
00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:37,880
Speaker 1: that person and fell in love. He turned our health

461
00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:40,800
Speaker 1: around when it didn't look good. We're grateful. We know

462
00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:43,679
Speaker 1: it was the hand of God. But God is saying,

463
00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:47,439
Speaker 1: you haven't seen anything yet. Forget about all of that,

464
00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:51,399
Speaker 1: and get ready for something awesome, something that you haven't seen,

465
00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:55,239
Speaker 1: something that propels you to a new level. When you

466
00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:58,240
Speaker 1: see this new thing, you're going to stand in amazement

467
00:24:58,560 --> 00:24:59,200
Speaker 1: and say Wow.

468
00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:01,639
Speaker 3: Look with them, the Lord has done.

469
00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:04,679
Speaker 1: I believe the reason God told them to forget about

470
00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:07,560
Speaker 1: the Red Sea being parted and forget about how he

471
00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:10,680
Speaker 1: brought them out of slavery is because they would have

472
00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:13,200
Speaker 1: thought he was going to do it the same way.

473
00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:17,280
Speaker 1: After all, that was a great miracle. But God was saying,

474
00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:21,640
Speaker 1: I have something better. Instead of parting the waters, I'm

475
00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:23,040
Speaker 1: going to create the waters.

476
00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:24,400
Speaker 3: I'm going to make.

477
00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:27,880
Speaker 1: Rivers in the desert pools to refresh you. I'm going

478
00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:31,760
Speaker 1: to turn bearing land into fertile land. The new thing

479
00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:34,840
Speaker 1: God has for you is going to supersede what you've

480
00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:38,000
Speaker 1: seen in the past. The good news is it's already

481
00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:42,240
Speaker 1: in motion. The process has already begun. Even now it's

482
00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:45,160
Speaker 1: springing forth underground.

483
00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:46,639
Speaker 3: Behind the scenes. You can't see it.

484
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:50,679
Speaker 1: But the river is forming, the water is coming, the

485
00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:54,680
Speaker 1: bearing land is being fertilized. Yes, the doors may have closed,

486
00:25:54,760 --> 00:25:58,359
Speaker 1: don't worry. Your compact center is already built. The right

487
00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:02,960
Speaker 1: people are already in The Red Sea's partings were great,

488
00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:04,639
Speaker 1: but that's nothing.

489
00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:09,080
Speaker 3: Compared to what's coming. Here's the question. Can you perceive it?

490
00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:13,200
Speaker 1: Do you believe that God's up to something new, something amazing,

491
00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:15,840
Speaker 1: or are you looking back at what used to be,

492
00:26:16,359 --> 00:26:17,360
Speaker 1: what didn't work out.

493
00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:21,159
Speaker 3: Change your focus. No more looking in the rear view mirror.

494
00:26:21,359 --> 00:26:25,560
Speaker 1: Start looking forward, Start expecting his goodness. This is a

495
00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:29,119
Speaker 1: new day. God is doing a new thing in your life.

496
00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:32,399
Speaker 1: If you'll receive Isaiah's prophecy.

497
00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:34,760
Speaker 3: I believe and declare, you're.

498
00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:39,760
Speaker 1: About to see unusual favor, uncommon increase, rivers in your desert,

499
00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:44,880
Speaker 1: waters in the dry places like the Israelites, freedom from captivity,

500
00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:51,320
Speaker 1: from lack, addictions, sicknesses. You're going to rise higher, overcome obstacles,

501
00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:53,679
Speaker 1: and become all you were created to be.

502
00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:57,159
Speaker 3: In Jesus' name, And if you receive it, can you

503
00:26:57,200 --> 00:26:58,080
Speaker 3: say him in today?

504
00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:02,400
Speaker 1: I'd like to give you an opportunity to make Jesus,

505
00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:03,639
Speaker 1: the Lord of your life.

506
00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:05,080
Speaker 3: Would you pray with me?

507
00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:11,080
Speaker 1: Just say, Lord Jesus, I'll repent of my sins, Come

508
00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:11,879
Speaker 1: into my heart.

509
00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:14,920
Speaker 3: I'll make you my Lord and savior.

510
00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:18,760
Speaker 1: If you prayed that simple prayer, we believe you got

511
00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:21,680
Speaker 1: born again. We'd love to send you some free information

512
00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:22,960
Speaker 1: on your new walk with the Lord.

513
00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:24,880
Speaker 3: Just text the number on the screen.

514
00:27:25,359 --> 00:27:28,040
Speaker 1: I hope you'll get into a good Bible based church

515
00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:29,919
Speaker 1: and keep God first place.

516
00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:34,239
Speaker 2: Breathtaking that's what you feel when you look out at

517
00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:39,480
Speaker 2: majestic mountain peaks. Yes, God's creation truly is a masterpiece,

518
00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:43,320
Speaker 2: but even as you consider his handiwork, you might also

519
00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:48,399
Speaker 2: feel bless that, not good enough or not valuable. The

520
00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:52,800
Speaker 2: image before you is incredible, but the confidence inside is lacking.

521
00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:54,440
Speaker 3: How do you overcome this?

522
00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:59,040
Speaker 1: The opinion you have of yourself is your most important opinion,

523
00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:04,720
Speaker 1: and we see ourselves as ordinary, not talented, unattractive. That

524
00:28:04,840 --> 00:28:07,600
Speaker 1: wrong self image is setting the limits for our life.

525
00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:10,480
Speaker 1: The key is to get an agreement with who God

526
00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:15,520
Speaker 1: says you are. He calls you a masterpiece, strong, talented, valuable.

527
00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:18,920
Speaker 1: If you'll have the right image of yourself, you'll rise

528
00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:22,159
Speaker 1: higher and become who you were created to be. We

529
00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:24,400
Speaker 1: have a new resource that will help you do just that.
