1 00:00:00,110 --> 00:00:02,650 Speaker 1: Thanks so much for listening to the podcast today. I 2 00:00:02,850 --> 00:00:04,649 Speaker 1: want you to know that Victoria and I are praying 3 00:00:04,690 --> 00:00:07,350 Speaker 1: for you and your family this summer and just asking 4 00:00:07,390 --> 00:00:10,600 Speaker 1: God to bring you more peace and joy and victory 5 00:00:10,619 --> 00:00:13,350 Speaker 1: than you've ever seen before. Know that God's for you. 6 00:00:13,360 --> 00:00:15,080 Speaker 1: He's got you in the palm of his hand and 7 00:00:15,300 --> 00:00:20,440 Speaker 1: I hope you enjoy the message today. God bless you. 8 00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:23,259 Speaker 1: It's a joy to come into your homes. And if 9 00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:25,940 Speaker 1: you're ever in our area, please stop by and be 10 00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:28,500 Speaker 1: a part of one of our services. I promise you, 11 00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:31,360 Speaker 1: we'll make you feel right at home. I like to 12 00:00:31,380 --> 00:00:33,970 Speaker 1: start with something funny. And I heard about this family 13 00:00:34,010 --> 00:00:37,050 Speaker 1: that lived way back in the woods. They never left 14 00:00:37,090 --> 00:00:40,330 Speaker 1: their little town, never watched television. One day they took 15 00:00:40,370 --> 00:00:43,590 Speaker 1: a vacation to New York City. The father was showing 16 00:00:43,630 --> 00:00:48,050 Speaker 1: his son a famous skyscraper. They were so impressed. They 17 00:00:48,060 --> 00:00:51,390 Speaker 1: were especially intrigued by the elevator. They didn't know what 18 00:00:51,430 --> 00:00:55,130 Speaker 1: it was. This elderly woman walked up and pushed a button. 19 00:00:55,650 --> 00:00:58,630 Speaker 1: The walls opened up. She stepped into a little room. 20 00:00:58,910 --> 00:01:02,250 Speaker 1: The walls closed back up. They sat there contemplating what 21 00:01:02,270 --> 00:01:04,930 Speaker 1: they had just seen. In a few seconds, the same 22 00:01:04,990 --> 00:01:09,300 Speaker 1: walls opened back up and a beautiful 24-year-old girl stepped out. 23 00:01:10,180 --> 00:01:13,480 Speaker 1: Almost in disbelief, the son said, dad, what just happened? 24 00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:16,160 Speaker 1: He said, I don't know, son, but go get your mother. 25 00:01:18,350 --> 00:01:20,890 Speaker 1: Say it like you mean it. This is my Bible. 26 00:01:21,370 --> 00:01:23,690 Speaker 1: I am what it says I am. I have what 27 00:01:23,709 --> 00:01:26,030 Speaker 1: it says I have. I can do what it says 28 00:01:26,110 --> 00:01:28,890 Speaker 1: I can do. Today, I will be taught the Word 29 00:01:28,930 --> 00:01:33,150 Speaker 1: of God. I boldly confess my mind is alert. My 30 00:01:33,209 --> 00:01:37,500 Speaker 1: heart is receptive. I will never be the same. In Jesus' name, 31 00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:41,399 Speaker 1: God bless you. I want to talk to you today 32 00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:45,600 Speaker 1: about the open windows of heaven. We all come to 33 00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:49,060 Speaker 1: places in life where we reach our limits. We've gone 34 00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:52,780 Speaker 1: as far as our education allows. The medical report says 35 00:01:52,830 --> 00:01:55,309 Speaker 1: we're not going to get well. We've tried to break 36 00:01:55,330 --> 00:01:58,370 Speaker 1: the addiction, but haven't been able to do it. It's 37 00:01:58,530 --> 00:02:00,930 Speaker 1: easy to settle where we are and think that it's 38 00:02:01,010 --> 00:02:04,750 Speaker 1: never going to change. But the scripture says in Malachi, 39 00:02:05,170 --> 00:02:08,630 Speaker 1: when you honor God with your giving, he will open 40 00:02:08,710 --> 00:02:12,179 Speaker 1: the windows of heaven and pour out blessings that you 41 00:02:12,220 --> 00:02:16,240 Speaker 1: cannot contain. You may have reached your limits on your own, 42 00:02:16,870 --> 00:02:20,150 Speaker 1: There are obstacles you can't seem to overcome. The good 43 00:02:20,210 --> 00:02:24,239 Speaker 1: news is you're not on your own. Because you're a giver, 44 00:02:24,750 --> 00:02:28,760 Speaker 1: because you're honoring God, you are under the open windows 45 00:02:28,860 --> 00:02:33,220 Speaker 1: of heaven. If you'll get your passion back, start believing again, 46 00:02:33,620 --> 00:02:37,400 Speaker 1: start expecting again, God is going to rain down favor, 47 00:02:37,780 --> 00:02:42,169 Speaker 1: rain down good breaks, rain down abundance. The medical report 48 00:02:42,230 --> 00:02:45,810 Speaker 1: may not look good, but under the open windows of heaven, 49 00:02:46,169 --> 00:02:50,480 Speaker 1: healing is raining down. God can do what medicine cannot do. 50 00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:54,020 Speaker 1: He has the final say. You may have gone as 51 00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:57,000 Speaker 1: far as you can in your career, but under the 52 00:02:57,160 --> 00:03:02,570 Speaker 1: open windows of heaven, increase is raining down. Divine connections, opportunities. 53 00:03:03,290 --> 00:03:06,740 Speaker 1: You haven't been able to break that addiction. Don't accept 54 00:03:06,820 --> 00:03:09,440 Speaker 1: it as the way it's always going to be. You 55 00:03:09,490 --> 00:03:13,270 Speaker 1: have an advantage. You're under the open windows of heaven. 56 00:03:13,610 --> 00:03:16,889 Speaker 1: It's just a matter of time before freedom rains down. 57 00:03:17,710 --> 00:03:21,070 Speaker 1: But sometimes we think we're at a disadvantage. We don't 58 00:03:21,090 --> 00:03:23,530 Speaker 1: have the talent we need. We don't have the connections, 59 00:03:23,590 --> 00:03:27,160 Speaker 1: the experience. Joel, if I was taller, if I had 60 00:03:27,180 --> 00:03:29,799 Speaker 1: a better personality, if I knew the right people, then 61 00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:34,109 Speaker 1: I could be successful. If you think you're at a disadvantage, 62 00:03:34,389 --> 00:03:38,100 Speaker 1: you will live at a disadvantage. If you think lack, 63 00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:41,440 Speaker 1: you're going to have lack. Instead of thinking I'm at 64 00:03:41,460 --> 00:03:45,120 Speaker 1: a deficit, I'm lacking, turn it around. I'm under the 65 00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:49,290 Speaker 1: open windows of heaven. I have everything I need, an 66 00:03:49,350 --> 00:03:53,570 Speaker 1: abundance of talent, an abundance of ideas, abundance of strength, 67 00:03:53,830 --> 00:03:58,070 Speaker 1: abundance of health. Get rid of a lack mentality and 68 00:03:58,130 --> 00:04:01,770 Speaker 1: have an abundant mentality. You may not have seen it yet, 69 00:04:02,110 --> 00:04:05,570 Speaker 1: but don't worry, your time is coming. God is about 70 00:04:05,610 --> 00:04:10,720 Speaker 1: to do something unusual, something extraordinary, something that you haven't seen. 71 00:04:11,500 --> 00:04:14,700 Speaker 1: He said he would pour out blessings that you don't 72 00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:18,640 Speaker 1: have room enough to contain. That means if you have room, 73 00:04:19,020 --> 00:04:21,400 Speaker 1: you haven't seen the fullness of what God is going 74 00:04:21,420 --> 00:04:24,940 Speaker 1: to do. He's going to give you so many opportunities, 75 00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:27,800 Speaker 1: you can't take them all. You have to pick and choose. 76 00:04:28,550 --> 00:04:32,030 Speaker 1: So many clients, so much business, you have to send 77 00:04:32,089 --> 00:04:36,430 Speaker 1: some to your coworkers. So many resources, so many savings, 78 00:04:36,650 --> 00:04:39,529 Speaker 1: you have to pass them to your children, your grandchildren. 79 00:04:40,029 --> 00:04:43,540 Speaker 1: And not just material things, but so much joy that 80 00:04:43,570 --> 00:04:47,940 Speaker 1: you can share joy wherever you go. So much peace, strength, stability, 81 00:04:48,779 --> 00:04:52,100 Speaker 1: that instead of needing to be encouraged, you're the encourager. 82 00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:55,080 Speaker 1: You're the lifter. You're the one that brings a smile 83 00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:59,529 Speaker 1: to people's face. This phrase, open windows of heaven, is 84 00:04:59,570 --> 00:05:02,169 Speaker 1: found another place in the scripture. It's when the flood 85 00:05:02,230 --> 00:05:05,770 Speaker 1: came in Noah's day. God said he opened the windows 86 00:05:05,910 --> 00:05:10,339 Speaker 1: of heaven. What happened? Water covered the whole earth. Wasn't 87 00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:14,260 Speaker 1: a little sprinkle, a minor event. It was a major flood, 88 00:05:14,660 --> 00:05:18,380 Speaker 1: a huge downpour. When God says he's going to open 89 00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:21,779 Speaker 1: the windows of heaven in your life, That doesn't mean 90 00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:24,339 Speaker 1: he's going to help you through the day or give 91 00:05:24,380 --> 00:05:27,460 Speaker 1: you strength to get past a problem. That's good. We're 92 00:05:27,500 --> 00:05:31,020 Speaker 1: grateful for everything, but that's not what this is talking about. 93 00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:34,620 Speaker 1: God is going to send a flood of his goodness. 94 00:05:35,220 --> 00:05:38,430 Speaker 1: He's going to do something major where you step back 95 00:05:38,810 --> 00:05:42,090 Speaker 1: and say, wow, I didn't see that coming. There will 96 00:05:42,130 --> 00:05:47,470 Speaker 1: be blessings you cannot contain and you cannot explain. All 97 00:05:47,510 --> 00:05:49,870 Speaker 1: you can say was that was the goodness of God. 98 00:05:50,860 --> 00:05:53,320 Speaker 1: I know a lady that was diagnosed with a tumor 99 00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:56,350 Speaker 1: under her arm. She'd gone through all the tests and 100 00:05:56,610 --> 00:06:00,700 Speaker 1: x-rays and they discovered it was cancerous. She had been 101 00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:03,920 Speaker 1: scheduled to have surgery, to have it removed. She went 102 00:06:03,980 --> 00:06:07,299 Speaker 1: in that morning. The doctors wanted to take more x-rays 103 00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:11,460 Speaker 1: just to verify before the operation. She had already been prepped, 104 00:06:11,850 --> 00:06:14,630 Speaker 1: had the IV in, about to go into the operating room. 105 00:06:15,250 --> 00:06:18,830 Speaker 1: The doctor came out scratching his head. He said, in 106 00:06:18,830 --> 00:06:21,870 Speaker 1: 26 years of practicing, I've never seen this, but the 107 00:06:21,930 --> 00:06:24,529 Speaker 1: tumor is no longer there. You could see it on 108 00:06:24,670 --> 00:06:28,339 Speaker 1: one x-ray, but not the next. How could this be? 109 00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:33,300 Speaker 1: She lives under the open windows of heaven. When God 110 00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:38,100 Speaker 1: rains down healing, cancer can't stay. When he rains down joy, 111 00:06:38,140 --> 00:06:42,159 Speaker 1: depression has to go. When he rains down favor, good breaks, 112 00:06:42,500 --> 00:06:45,500 Speaker 1: it's going to thrust you to the next level. You're 113 00:06:45,540 --> 00:06:48,420 Speaker 1: not going to be able to explain it. You weren't 114 00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:51,480 Speaker 1: the most qualified. You weren't next in line. You shouldn't 115 00:06:51,500 --> 00:06:54,520 Speaker 1: have been chosen. But you look up and you're further 116 00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:57,830 Speaker 1: than you ever dreamed. What happened? The heavens opened up. 117 00:06:58,460 --> 00:07:01,390 Speaker 1: God rained down increase, took you where you could not 118 00:07:01,450 --> 00:07:05,030 Speaker 1: go on your own. In this year of yes, you're 119 00:07:05,050 --> 00:07:08,990 Speaker 1: going to see things that you cannot explain. Like with 120 00:07:09,029 --> 00:07:13,770 Speaker 1: this lady, the medical report suddenly turns around. Your business 121 00:07:13,830 --> 00:07:18,880 Speaker 1: suddenly takes off. You suddenly break the addiction. You've been faithful. 122 00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:23,160 Speaker 1: You've given. You've served. Get ready. The heavens are about 123 00:07:23,180 --> 00:07:27,010 Speaker 1: to open up. God is going to do something that 124 00:07:27,030 --> 00:07:31,000 Speaker 1: you've never seen. It's going to be a bountiful year, 125 00:07:31,420 --> 00:07:36,020 Speaker 1: an abundant year, a prosperous year. Problems that looked permanent 126 00:07:36,220 --> 00:07:39,610 Speaker 1: are suddenly going to turn around. Doors that have been 127 00:07:39,670 --> 00:07:43,260 Speaker 1: closed for years are suddenly going to open. You're not 128 00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:46,580 Speaker 1: going to have to go after opportunity. Opportunity is going 129 00:07:46,620 --> 00:07:49,300 Speaker 1: to come after you. Now do your part all through 130 00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:52,380 Speaker 1: the day. Father, thank you that I'm under the open 131 00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:55,990 Speaker 1: windows of heaven. Thank you that you're pouring out blessings 132 00:07:56,200 --> 00:08:00,090 Speaker 1: that I cannot contain. Your mind may tell you, this 133 00:08:00,150 --> 00:08:03,150 Speaker 1: is not going to happen for you. Nothing's going to change. 134 00:08:03,610 --> 00:08:07,190 Speaker 1: Don't believe those lies. Keep thanking God for what he's 135 00:08:07,250 --> 00:08:14,010 Speaker 1: about to do. Praise causes the heavens to open. living worried, discouraged, complaining. 136 00:08:14,510 --> 00:08:17,830 Speaker 1: That keeps the rain from coming down. You may not 137 00:08:17,890 --> 00:08:20,350 Speaker 1: see how it can happen, but this is what faith 138 00:08:20,430 --> 00:08:23,600 Speaker 1: is all about. God, I don't see a way, but 139 00:08:23,660 --> 00:08:26,740 Speaker 1: I know you have a way. My circumstances say that 140 00:08:26,780 --> 00:08:29,440 Speaker 1: I'm stuck, but I'm not moved by what I see. 141 00:08:29,820 --> 00:08:32,150 Speaker 1: I'm moved by what I know. And I know I'm 142 00:08:32,210 --> 00:08:35,510 Speaker 1: under the open windows of heaven. When you get this 143 00:08:35,610 --> 00:08:39,070 Speaker 1: down in your spirit, you won't be intimidated by the 144 00:08:39,150 --> 00:08:42,870 Speaker 1: size of your dreams. You won't be discouraged by problems. 145 00:08:43,290 --> 00:08:46,090 Speaker 1: You won't live thinking you're at a disadvantage. You'll have 146 00:08:46,130 --> 00:08:51,069 Speaker 1: a confidence, an expectancy, a knowing that at any moment, 147 00:08:51,290 --> 00:08:54,319 Speaker 1: the heavens are going to open up. I talked to 148 00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:57,620 Speaker 1: a young man that's battling cancer. He lives in another 149 00:08:57,679 --> 00:09:00,699 Speaker 1: state and he would fly into Houston for treatment at 150 00:09:00,860 --> 00:09:03,570 Speaker 1: MD Anderson. It got to the place where it was 151 00:09:03,620 --> 00:09:06,910 Speaker 1: so expensive, he couldn't keep flying back and forth, so 152 00:09:06,950 --> 00:09:10,429 Speaker 1: he started driving. He would take the treatment and then 153 00:09:10,490 --> 00:09:14,490 Speaker 1: drive home by himself nine hours. He heard a message 154 00:09:14,650 --> 00:09:18,569 Speaker 1: on becoming a giver and tithing your income. He had 155 00:09:18,610 --> 00:09:22,630 Speaker 1: all these medical bills and travel expenses. It didn't make 156 00:09:22,730 --> 00:09:26,050 Speaker 1: sense to his mind, but something in his heart told 157 00:09:26,110 --> 00:09:28,670 Speaker 1: him he needed to take a step of faith and 158 00:09:28,730 --> 00:09:32,900 Speaker 1: become a giver. Nobody pressured him. but he started tithing. 159 00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:36,920 Speaker 1: A month later, his boss called and asked about his 160 00:09:37,220 --> 00:09:40,720 Speaker 1: travel arrangements. He explained how he used to fly, but 161 00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:44,459 Speaker 1: now it was too expensive. He was driving. His boss said, 162 00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:46,990 Speaker 1: I don't want you to drive anymore. I want you 163 00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:49,949 Speaker 1: to start flying and put all of your flights, all 164 00:09:49,970 --> 00:10:01,350 Speaker 1: of your travel on our company credit card. this young 165 00:10:01,410 --> 00:10:05,510 Speaker 1: man was so amazed he said my boss knew about 166 00:10:05,550 --> 00:10:09,420 Speaker 1: my situation for over a year but as soon as 167 00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:13,700 Speaker 1: I started tithing this happened what was that he stepped 168 00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:17,660 Speaker 1: under the open windows of heaven when you do your 169 00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:21,340 Speaker 1: part God will do his part He'll cause people to 170 00:10:21,380 --> 00:10:24,440 Speaker 1: be good to you. He'll open doors that you can't open. 171 00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:29,070 Speaker 1: The same God that sent provision can send healing. He 172 00:10:29,090 --> 00:10:31,590 Speaker 1: can send the person of your dreams. He can send 173 00:10:31,610 --> 00:10:35,010 Speaker 1: the breakthrough. Like this young man, you're about to see 174 00:10:35,050 --> 00:10:38,530 Speaker 1: the heavens open up. God is going to surprise you. 175 00:10:39,130 --> 00:10:41,210 Speaker 1: People are going to go out of their way to 176 00:10:41,250 --> 00:10:46,000 Speaker 1: be good to you. Contracts, scholarships, opportunities are going to 177 00:10:46,059 --> 00:10:48,720 Speaker 1: come looking for you. You're not going to have to 178 00:10:48,780 --> 00:10:51,699 Speaker 1: force it to happen. Try to persuade people to be 179 00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:54,380 Speaker 1: for you. God is going to cause it to fall 180 00:10:54,420 --> 00:10:59,640 Speaker 1: into place. Quit worrying about the legal situation. Quit losing 181 00:10:59,730 --> 00:11:04,170 Speaker 1: sleep over that problem at work. The battle is not yours. 182 00:11:04,550 --> 00:11:08,910 Speaker 1: The battle is the Lord's. He's your vindicator. He's protecting 183 00:11:08,950 --> 00:11:13,790 Speaker 1: your reputation. Stand still and you will see the deliverance 184 00:11:13,830 --> 00:11:16,910 Speaker 1: of the Lord. It's going to happen sooner than you think. 185 00:11:17,670 --> 00:11:20,660 Speaker 1: It's going to turn out better than you thought. Now 186 00:11:20,700 --> 00:11:23,620 Speaker 1: you have to let the seed take root. Thoughts will 187 00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:26,080 Speaker 1: tell you, oh, this is not for you today. Don't 188 00:11:26,140 --> 00:11:28,959 Speaker 1: let your mind talk you out of it. You're a giver. 189 00:11:29,380 --> 00:11:32,120 Speaker 1: You're planted in the house of the Lord. God has 190 00:11:32,220 --> 00:11:35,559 Speaker 1: promised he will open the windows of heaven. He will 191 00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:39,060 Speaker 1: pour out blessings you cannot contain. It goes on to 192 00:11:39,140 --> 00:11:43,719 Speaker 1: say he will rebuke the devourer for your sake. That 193 00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:50,060 Speaker 1: means what would have devoured opportunity, devoured finances, caused you 194 00:11:50,100 --> 00:11:53,670 Speaker 1: to lose income, harm your children, spend on things that 195 00:11:53,710 --> 00:11:57,630 Speaker 1: keep breaking down. Because you're a giver, God is going 196 00:11:57,670 --> 00:12:01,090 Speaker 1: to rebuke the devourer for your sake. It's one thing 197 00:12:01,130 --> 00:12:04,250 Speaker 1: when we pray. It's good when we stand against the 198 00:12:04,290 --> 00:12:08,210 Speaker 1: forces of darkness, but when you're under the open windows 199 00:12:08,330 --> 00:12:12,210 Speaker 1: of heaven, the creator of the universe says, I'm going 200 00:12:12,250 --> 00:12:16,429 Speaker 1: to rise up and rebuke the devourer for you. You 201 00:12:16,470 --> 00:12:20,209 Speaker 1: don't have to live worried, uptight, in fear, on edge. 202 00:12:20,630 --> 00:12:24,660 Speaker 1: You have a protector. You have a defender. The most 203 00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:28,660 Speaker 1: high God is standing guard over your life. There have 204 00:12:28,700 --> 00:12:32,280 Speaker 1: been many times God has rebuked the devourer and we 205 00:12:32,350 --> 00:12:35,690 Speaker 1: knew nothing about it. He kept you from that sickness. 206 00:12:36,250 --> 00:12:39,510 Speaker 1: He protected you from that accident. He kept that tree 207 00:12:39,550 --> 00:12:42,830 Speaker 1: from falling on your house, causing you so much in repairs. 208 00:12:43,150 --> 00:12:46,930 Speaker 1: He kept that supervisor from holding you back. It's good 209 00:12:46,970 --> 00:12:50,020 Speaker 1: to thank God for the blessing, the promotion, the favor, 210 00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:53,900 Speaker 1: but sometimes you need to thank God for what didn't happen. 211 00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:56,980 Speaker 1: Thank him that you didn't get sick. Thank you that 212 00:12:57,020 --> 00:12:59,990 Speaker 1: you didn't get laid off. thinking that your child didn't 213 00:13:00,010 --> 00:13:04,770 Speaker 1: get in trouble. That was God behind the scenes rebuking 214 00:13:04,929 --> 00:13:09,340 Speaker 1: the devourer for your sake. Genesis chapter one, the earth 215 00:13:09,390 --> 00:13:13,170 Speaker 1: was dark and without form. God said, let there be 216 00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:17,600 Speaker 1: light and light came. He called the light day and 217 00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:21,800 Speaker 1: the darkness night. This was on the first day of creation. 218 00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:25,960 Speaker 1: What's interesting is God didn't create the sun or the 219 00:13:26,020 --> 00:13:30,320 Speaker 1: moon until the fourth day. Yet he had light from 220 00:13:30,380 --> 00:13:33,339 Speaker 1: day one. That doesn't make sense. How could that be? 221 00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:37,300 Speaker 1: The sun is our source for light. God was showing 222 00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:41,340 Speaker 1: us he can bless you without a source. He can 223 00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:45,590 Speaker 1: promote you without people being for you. He can heal 224 00:13:45,650 --> 00:13:50,210 Speaker 1: you without the treatment. When the angel came to Mary, 225 00:13:50,450 --> 00:13:53,370 Speaker 1: he said, you're going to have a baby without a man. 226 00:13:54,470 --> 00:13:57,410 Speaker 1: In the Old Testament, God brought water out of a rock. 227 00:13:57,910 --> 00:14:01,320 Speaker 1: no lake, no stream, no source. When you look at 228 00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:04,920 Speaker 1: your situation, you may see all the reasons why you 229 00:14:04,980 --> 00:14:08,240 Speaker 1: can't get well, why you can't accomplish a dream, why 230 00:14:08,300 --> 00:14:11,179 Speaker 1: you can't break the addiction. You don't have what you need, 231 00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:14,760 Speaker 1: but God is not limited by what you don't have. 232 00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:19,360 Speaker 1: He doesn't have to have a traditional source. He's God. 233 00:14:19,900 --> 00:14:23,650 Speaker 1: He controls the universe. When he needs light, he doesn't 234 00:14:23,750 --> 00:14:27,300 Speaker 1: wait for the sun. He speaks and he has light 235 00:14:27,500 --> 00:14:32,420 Speaker 1: without the sun. What God has destined for you, he 236 00:14:32,460 --> 00:14:37,470 Speaker 1: can do without a bank, without the treatment, without the experience, 237 00:14:37,770 --> 00:14:41,480 Speaker 1: without the support. He may not do it a traditional way. 238 00:14:42,770 --> 00:14:46,030 Speaker 1: I know a man that had 90% of his vocal 239 00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:51,060 Speaker 1: cords removed. He had some kind of infection, kept getting worse. Finally, 240 00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:53,860 Speaker 1: the doctors had to remove them. He was told he 241 00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:56,780 Speaker 1: would never speak again. He might be able to make 242 00:14:56,840 --> 00:15:00,100 Speaker 1: some sounds, but never speak. But he talked to me 243 00:15:00,420 --> 00:15:03,600 Speaker 1: like we're talking now. I couldn't tell anything was wrong. 244 00:15:04,340 --> 00:15:08,200 Speaker 1: The doctor said he was a medical marvel, an anomaly. 245 00:15:08,540 --> 00:15:12,140 Speaker 1: They couldn't explain it. But when God wants you to speak, 246 00:15:12,500 --> 00:15:17,600 Speaker 1: he doesn't check with your vocal cords. What God has 247 00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:21,280 Speaker 1: planned for you, he doesn't check with your bank account. 248 00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:24,750 Speaker 1: He doesn't check with your friends to see if they approve. 249 00:15:25,380 --> 00:15:27,670 Speaker 1: He doesn't check to see if you have the talent. 250 00:15:27,950 --> 00:15:31,730 Speaker 1: He speaks and it becomes. He's going to bless you 251 00:15:31,990 --> 00:15:36,850 Speaker 1: without a source. You're going to see things happen and think, 252 00:15:37,370 --> 00:15:39,640 Speaker 1: how did I get here? How did I know how 253 00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:41,920 Speaker 1: to do this? How did we see this growth? How 254 00:15:41,940 --> 00:15:44,710 Speaker 1: did we get the compact center? That was God blessing 255 00:15:44,850 --> 00:15:50,330 Speaker 1: us without a source. This is what happened to Ruth 256 00:15:50,570 --> 00:15:53,830 Speaker 1: in the scripture. She was out in the fields, picking 257 00:15:53,890 --> 00:15:57,820 Speaker 1: up leftover wheat, trying to survive. God spoke to the 258 00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:00,760 Speaker 1: owner of the field, told him to leave wheat on 259 00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:04,140 Speaker 1: the ground on purpose for Ruth. Now she had more 260 00:16:04,180 --> 00:16:07,780 Speaker 1: than enough. She could finish in half the time. It 261 00:16:07,820 --> 00:16:11,610 Speaker 1: was like the windows of heaven opened up. She came 262 00:16:11,660 --> 00:16:15,610 Speaker 1: into an abundance, but she didn't see a source. She 263 00:16:15,650 --> 00:16:19,270 Speaker 1: didn't know that the owner was doing that. God is 264 00:16:19,290 --> 00:16:22,230 Speaker 1: going to make things happen where you don't see a source. 265 00:16:22,830 --> 00:16:26,070 Speaker 1: It's not going to be traditional. Quit worrying because you 266 00:16:26,090 --> 00:16:29,410 Speaker 1: don't see how your situation can work out. God's ways 267 00:16:29,490 --> 00:16:32,380 Speaker 1: are not our ways. They are higher and better than 268 00:16:32,500 --> 00:16:37,820 Speaker 1: our ways. Sometimes we're waiting for the sun for light. 269 00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:41,330 Speaker 1: God says, I don't need the sun. I just speak 270 00:16:41,470 --> 00:16:46,270 Speaker 1: and it happens. In Acts chapter eight, an Ethiopian man 271 00:16:46,550 --> 00:16:50,170 Speaker 1: had traveled a great distance to Jerusalem to worship in 272 00:16:50,210 --> 00:16:53,670 Speaker 1: the temple. He was the treasurer for the queen of Sheba, 273 00:16:54,070 --> 00:16:58,100 Speaker 1: an influential man. On his way back home, he was 274 00:16:58,180 --> 00:17:01,840 Speaker 1: riding in his chariot, reading from the book of Isaiah. 275 00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:06,340 Speaker 1: Philip had been in Samaria with Peter and John leading 276 00:17:06,380 --> 00:17:10,690 Speaker 1: the church, having great success. An angel appeared to Philip 277 00:17:11,030 --> 00:17:13,869 Speaker 1: and told him to go down to the desert road 278 00:17:14,310 --> 00:17:18,370 Speaker 1: that runs from Jerusalem to Gaza. I'm sure this didn't 279 00:17:18,410 --> 00:17:21,449 Speaker 1: make much sense to Philip. Things were going great in 280 00:17:21,490 --> 00:17:23,820 Speaker 1: Samaria and now he's supposed to go to the desert? 281 00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:28,060 Speaker 1: While he was there, he saw this chariot passing by 282 00:17:28,340 --> 00:17:31,879 Speaker 1: with this Ethiopian man. God told him to go catch 283 00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:35,159 Speaker 1: the chariot He took off running full speed and he 284 00:17:35,220 --> 00:17:38,060 Speaker 1: caught up with it. He could hear the man reading 285 00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:40,820 Speaker 1: from the book of Isaiah. He asked him if he 286 00:17:40,900 --> 00:17:43,859 Speaker 1: understood what he was reading. The man said that he didn't. 287 00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:47,310 Speaker 1: So Philip got up in the chariot with him and 288 00:17:47,350 --> 00:17:51,530 Speaker 1: began to explain how Isaiah was talking about how Jesus 289 00:17:51,609 --> 00:17:55,390 Speaker 1: came as the Savior. He shared the good news. This 290 00:17:55,470 --> 00:17:59,040 Speaker 1: man was so excited that He saw some water, told 291 00:17:59,100 --> 00:18:02,000 Speaker 1: his driver to stop the chariot. He said to Philip, 292 00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:04,520 Speaker 1: I want you to baptize me in water right here. 293 00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:09,620 Speaker 1: His whole life was changed from that one encounter. What's 294 00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:13,730 Speaker 1: interesting is this man wasn't looking for Philip. He didn't 295 00:18:13,830 --> 00:18:18,450 Speaker 1: even know Philip. Philip chased him down. An unexpected blessing. 296 00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:23,040 Speaker 1: This man was minding his own business, riding in his chariot. 297 00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:27,239 Speaker 1: Out of nowhere, Philip showed up and gave him insight 298 00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:31,240 Speaker 1: that took him to the next level. Like this man, 299 00:18:31,820 --> 00:18:36,109 Speaker 1: because you're a giver, because you're honoring God, God is 300 00:18:36,130 --> 00:18:39,530 Speaker 1: going to have the right people search you out. He's 301 00:18:39,570 --> 00:18:43,000 Speaker 1: going to cause good breaks to find you. You may 302 00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:46,639 Speaker 1: not realize it, but right now there's a Philip chasing 303 00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:50,980 Speaker 1: your chariot. There are blessings God has ordained to track 304 00:18:51,030 --> 00:18:55,550 Speaker 1: you down. People that will use their influence, their experience 305 00:18:55,770 --> 00:18:58,770 Speaker 1: to push you forward, to help you go where you 306 00:18:58,810 --> 00:19:02,090 Speaker 1: could not go on your own. Some Philips are coming 307 00:19:02,109 --> 00:19:06,520 Speaker 1: your way. This man was leaving the temple when Philip 308 00:19:06,580 --> 00:19:09,629 Speaker 1: found him. When you take time to go to the 309 00:19:09,690 --> 00:19:12,800 Speaker 1: house of the Lord, don't be surprised if when you 310 00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:16,899 Speaker 1: get home, if sometime this week, sometime this month, Philip 311 00:19:16,940 --> 00:19:22,480 Speaker 1: shows up. Something unusual, an unexpected blessing is because you're 312 00:19:22,540 --> 00:19:27,000 Speaker 1: under the open windows of heaven. When I look back 313 00:19:27,140 --> 00:19:30,060 Speaker 1: over my life, I can see the Philips. In my 314 00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:33,240 Speaker 1: early 20s, I walked into a jewelry store to buy 315 00:19:33,270 --> 00:19:36,350 Speaker 1: a battery for my watch. There was Philip, so to speak. 316 00:19:37,109 --> 00:19:41,110 Speaker 1: I met Victoria unexpectedly for the first time. She kept 317 00:19:41,150 --> 00:19:45,250 Speaker 1: chasing me down, finally caught me. That's my side of 318 00:19:45,290 --> 00:19:50,760 Speaker 1: the story. In 2005, a book publisher... called me out 319 00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:53,920 Speaker 1: of the blue, asked if he could publish my next book. 320 00:19:54,500 --> 00:19:57,440 Speaker 1: I wasn't looking for him. We already had a publisher, 321 00:19:57,800 --> 00:20:00,420 Speaker 1: but when he made the offer, I said, hello, Phillip. 322 00:20:02,150 --> 00:20:05,910 Speaker 1: A few years ago, an executive from Sirius XM Satellite 323 00:20:05,950 --> 00:20:08,820 Speaker 1: Radio called and asked if I would do an hour 324 00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:11,840 Speaker 1: program on one of their channels each week and told 325 00:20:11,859 --> 00:20:14,399 Speaker 1: him I wasn't interested in that. He said, how about 326 00:20:14,460 --> 00:20:17,460 Speaker 1: we give you your own channel? I said, hello, Philip. 327 00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:22,710 Speaker 1: I didn't go after it. It came after me. When 328 00:20:22,770 --> 00:20:26,950 Speaker 1: you keep God first place, when you're a giver, because 329 00:20:26,990 --> 00:20:31,370 Speaker 1: you're under the open windows of heaven, blessings will overtake you. 330 00:20:31,930 --> 00:20:35,129 Speaker 1: They'll catch you by surprise. You need to get ready. 331 00:20:35,380 --> 00:20:39,020 Speaker 1: Some Phillips are about to show up. Good breaks that 332 00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:41,920 Speaker 1: you didn't see coming. People that go out of their 333 00:20:41,980 --> 00:20:45,800 Speaker 1: way to be good to you. Opportunities that will thrust 334 00:20:45,859 --> 00:20:48,750 Speaker 1: you to the next level. You couldn't have made it happen. 335 00:20:49,250 --> 00:20:52,129 Speaker 1: Like the Ethiopian man, you didn't have the connections. You 336 00:20:52,150 --> 00:20:54,580 Speaker 1: didn't even know them. It was the hand of God. 337 00:20:55,490 --> 00:20:59,479 Speaker 1: Maybe you're single, believing to meet the right person. You 338 00:20:59,500 --> 00:21:03,120 Speaker 1: don't have to force things to happen. Try to convince 339 00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:06,700 Speaker 1: people to like you, compromise your values. Just stay on 340 00:21:06,740 --> 00:21:10,340 Speaker 1: the high road. Keep honoring God. He'll have the right 341 00:21:10,500 --> 00:21:14,720 Speaker 1: people find you. Philip is on the way. Somebody better 342 00:21:14,740 --> 00:21:18,770 Speaker 1: than you can imagine. For you men, Phyllis is on 343 00:21:18,810 --> 00:21:25,810 Speaker 1: the way. That's Philip's sister and she's good looking. That's 344 00:21:25,850 --> 00:21:28,230 Speaker 1: not in the scripture, but it should be. But here's 345 00:21:28,250 --> 00:21:31,550 Speaker 1: what I've learned. You don't have to seek after people, 346 00:21:31,990 --> 00:21:36,790 Speaker 1: seek after God. He'll bring divine connections, the right people 347 00:21:36,950 --> 00:21:41,609 Speaker 1: that will move you further into your destiny. In 1 348 00:21:41,609 --> 00:21:45,050 Speaker 1: Kings 18, there had been a drought in Samaria for 349 00:21:45,109 --> 00:21:49,109 Speaker 1: three and a half years. No water, no rain, crops 350 00:21:49,150 --> 00:21:53,190 Speaker 1: had dried up. People had little food, struggling to survive. 351 00:21:53,869 --> 00:21:56,590 Speaker 1: The prophet Elijah could have said, God, it's not fair. 352 00:21:57,190 --> 00:22:00,390 Speaker 1: I'm a giver. I'm serving you, but I'm not under 353 00:22:00,430 --> 00:22:03,740 Speaker 1: the open windows of heaven. I'm in a drought. Instead 354 00:22:03,780 --> 00:22:08,379 Speaker 1: of complaining, Elijah went on top of Mount Carmel and 355 00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:11,879 Speaker 1: began to thank God that the rain was coming. I 356 00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:14,240 Speaker 1: can hear him say, Lord, thank you that rain is 357 00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:17,159 Speaker 1: on the way. Thank you that you're changing things in 358 00:22:17,220 --> 00:22:20,820 Speaker 1: my favor. He sent his assistant out to see if 359 00:22:20,859 --> 00:22:23,770 Speaker 1: there were any clouds in the sky. The man came 360 00:22:23,830 --> 00:22:27,850 Speaker 1: back and said in effect, no, sorry, Elijah, your praise 361 00:22:27,910 --> 00:22:31,350 Speaker 1: isn't doing any good. There aren't any clouds. It's perfectly clear. 362 00:22:32,190 --> 00:22:35,730 Speaker 1: This is when many people give up and get discouraged. Joel, 363 00:22:35,750 --> 00:22:38,150 Speaker 1: I've been giving, I've been coming, I've been helping others, 364 00:22:38,210 --> 00:22:42,500 Speaker 1: but nothing has changed. I'm still in a drought. When 365 00:22:42,580 --> 00:22:45,889 Speaker 1: Elijah heard the news that there were no clouds, instead 366 00:22:45,930 --> 00:22:48,990 Speaker 1: of being discouraged, I can imagine that he turned up 367 00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:52,310 Speaker 1: his praise. Lord, thank you that you're opening the windows 368 00:22:52,369 --> 00:22:55,330 Speaker 1: of heaven. Thank you that rain is on the way. 369 00:22:56,090 --> 00:22:59,129 Speaker 1: He sent the man back again and again and again. 370 00:22:59,230 --> 00:23:03,330 Speaker 1: Same answer, no clouds. But on the seventh time, the 371 00:23:03,369 --> 00:23:07,390 Speaker 1: man came back and said, this time I saw something different. 372 00:23:08,070 --> 00:23:10,490 Speaker 1: Wasn't much, don't get your hopes up, but I saw 373 00:23:10,570 --> 00:23:14,909 Speaker 1: a little cloud up in the sky. Elijah sent word 374 00:23:14,970 --> 00:23:18,530 Speaker 1: to King Ahab saying, I hear the sound of the 375 00:23:18,609 --> 00:23:24,869 Speaker 1: abundance of rain. Here's the key. Elijah heard rain in 376 00:23:24,910 --> 00:23:29,649 Speaker 1: his spirit before he saw rain on the outside. God 377 00:23:29,790 --> 00:23:33,649 Speaker 1: always puts things in your spirit before they come to pass. 378 00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:37,480 Speaker 1: That's why you have to latch on to promises. In 379 00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:40,680 Speaker 1: the middle of struggle and lack, you have to hear abundance. 380 00:23:41,540 --> 00:23:45,420 Speaker 1: In loneliness, you have to hear friendships. In sickness, you 381 00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:48,840 Speaker 1: have to hear health. In trouble and opposition, you need 382 00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:53,680 Speaker 1: to hear victory. Elijah told King Ahab, you better get 383 00:23:53,740 --> 00:23:56,870 Speaker 1: in your chariot and take off. There's about to be 384 00:23:56,910 --> 00:24:01,490 Speaker 1: a huge downpour. Ahab got in that chariot. He headed 385 00:24:01,550 --> 00:24:04,850 Speaker 1: out as fast as he could. Got his horses going 386 00:24:04,930 --> 00:24:09,650 Speaker 1: full speed ahead. The scripture says that God gave Elijah 387 00:24:10,010 --> 00:24:14,550 Speaker 1: special strength. He tucked in his cloak and ran ahead 388 00:24:14,910 --> 00:24:17,780 Speaker 1: of Ahab's chariot all the way to the next city. 389 00:24:18,340 --> 00:24:22,810 Speaker 1: He outran a chariot. When you're under the open windows 390 00:24:22,850 --> 00:24:26,210 Speaker 1: of heaven, God will help you accomplish things that you 391 00:24:26,250 --> 00:24:29,729 Speaker 1: could not accomplish on your own. Philip caught up to 392 00:24:29,770 --> 00:24:34,300 Speaker 1: his chariot to help the Ethiopian man. Elijah outran a chariot. 393 00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:37,720 Speaker 1: It goes on to tell how the heavens opened up. 394 00:24:38,260 --> 00:24:40,199 Speaker 1: The three and a half year drought came to an end. 395 00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:43,880 Speaker 1: There was a huge downpour. What Elijah heard in his 396 00:24:43,940 --> 00:24:48,320 Speaker 1: spirit suddenly came to pass. The things you've been hearing 397 00:24:48,420 --> 00:24:52,730 Speaker 1: in your spirit The abundance, the dreams, the healing, the 398 00:24:52,770 --> 00:24:56,190 Speaker 1: child coming back home, meeting the right person. You've heard 399 00:24:56,230 --> 00:25:00,469 Speaker 1: it on the inside. It's taken root. Like Elijah, it's 400 00:25:00,530 --> 00:25:04,980 Speaker 1: about to suddenly happen. You've been praying, thanking God, doing 401 00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:08,320 Speaker 1: the right thing. Get ready. The heavens are about to 402 00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:11,520 Speaker 1: open up. You're going to see an abundance of favor, 403 00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:16,730 Speaker 1: an abundance of joy, an abundance of healing. That drought 404 00:25:16,930 --> 00:25:19,330 Speaker 1: is not just going to come to an end. You're 405 00:25:19,350 --> 00:25:23,170 Speaker 1: going to outrun the chariot. You're going to go further 406 00:25:23,230 --> 00:25:27,030 Speaker 1: than you ever imagined. You're going to discover ability that 407 00:25:27,070 --> 00:25:29,850 Speaker 1: you didn't know was in you. God is going to 408 00:25:29,910 --> 00:25:33,950 Speaker 1: bless you without a source. Quit focusing on what you 409 00:25:33,990 --> 00:25:38,310 Speaker 1: don't have. All Elijah had was a little cloud. No 410 00:25:38,369 --> 00:25:41,369 Speaker 1: chance for rain in the natural, but we serve a 411 00:25:41,530 --> 00:25:46,649 Speaker 1: supernatural God. He can give water without rain, light without 412 00:25:46,690 --> 00:25:51,150 Speaker 1: the sun, healing without the treatment, promotion without people being 413 00:25:51,190 --> 00:25:54,590 Speaker 1: for you. Now all through the day, Father, thank you 414 00:25:54,869 --> 00:25:57,879 Speaker 1: that I'm under the open windows of heaven. Have an 415 00:25:57,940 --> 00:26:02,580 Speaker 1: abundant mentality. If you'll do this, I believe and declare 416 00:26:03,020 --> 00:26:06,580 Speaker 1: God is about to pour out blessings that you cannot contain. 417 00:26:07,260 --> 00:26:10,040 Speaker 1: The Phillips are about to catch up to your chariot. 418 00:26:10,660 --> 00:26:17,699 Speaker 1: Unexpected favor, divine connections, healing, breakthroughs, the fullness of your destiny. 419 00:26:18,060 --> 00:26:20,380 Speaker 1: I declare it in the name of Jesus. If you 420 00:26:20,420 --> 00:26:25,330 Speaker 1: receive it, can you say amen today? I'd like to 421 00:26:25,390 --> 00:26:28,450 Speaker 1: give you an opportunity to make Jesus the Lord of 422 00:26:28,490 --> 00:26:32,650 Speaker 1: your life. Would you pray with me? Just say, Lord Jesus, 423 00:26:33,930 --> 00:26:38,820 Speaker 1: I repent of my sins. Come into my heart. I 424 00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:42,740 Speaker 1: make you my Lord and Savior.
