Speaker 1: into your homes. We love you and we know God

9
00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:24,720
Speaker 1: has great things in store. If you're ever in our area,

10
00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:28,240
Speaker 1: stop buying. Visit us here in Houston, right here at Lakewood.

11
00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:31,000
Speaker 1: These are the finest people in all of town, right

12
00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:32,120
Speaker 1: here at Lakewood Church.

13
00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:33,480
Speaker 2: So come out and be a part.

14
00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:36,800
Speaker 1: Thanks for tuning in today, and thanks again for coming out.

15
00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:39,080
Speaker 1: And I like to start with something funny each week.

16
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:41,760
Speaker 1: And I heard about this eighty five year old man.

17
00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:44,599
Speaker 1: He was out fishing one day and he heard this

18
00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:48,400
Speaker 1: voice saying, pick me up. He looked all around, didn't

19
00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:51,360
Speaker 1: see anything, thought he was dreaming. Heard it again, pick

20
00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:54,200
Speaker 1: me up. He looked down and saw a frog on

21
00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:57,480
Speaker 1: the ground. He said, in amazement, are you talking to me?

22
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:00,680
Speaker 1: The frog said yes, pick me up and kiss me

23
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:04,440
Speaker 1: and I'll turn into a beautiful bride. He quickly picked

24
00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:06,280
Speaker 1: the frog up and put him in his front pocket.

25
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:08,080
Speaker 2: The frog said, hey, what are you doing.

26
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:11,319
Speaker 1: I said, kiss me and I'll turn into a beautiful bride.

27
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:14,280
Speaker 1: The man said, no, thanks. At my age, I'd rather

28
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:15,279
Speaker 1: have a talking frog.

29
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:18,240
Speaker 2: All right, Hold.

30
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:20,720
Speaker 1: Up your Bible. Say it like you mean it. This

31
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:23,360
Speaker 1: is my Bible. I am what it says I am.

32
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:26,319
Speaker 1: I have what it says I have. I can do

33
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:29,000
Speaker 1: what it says I can do. Today I will be

34
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:33,080
Speaker 1: taught the word of God. I boldly confess. My mind

35
00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:36,560
Speaker 1: is alert, my heart is recepted. I will never be

36
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:41,360
Speaker 1: the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you. I want

37
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:44,920
Speaker 1: to talk to you today about sensing the good things

38
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:48,520
Speaker 1: God has in store. When God laid out the plans

39
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:52,120
Speaker 1: for our lives, he lined up the right people, the

40
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:56,600
Speaker 1: right breaks, and the right opportunities. The scripture talks about

41
00:01:56,640 --> 00:02:01,280
Speaker 1: how time and chance will come together for every That

42
00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:06,320
Speaker 1: means there are moments of favor that God has already.

43
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:07,400
Speaker 2: Released into your future.

44
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:10,720
Speaker 1: If you could pull back the curtain and see your

45
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:14,920
Speaker 1: whole life, you would see how God has already lined up.

46
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:17,520
Speaker 2: The right breaks to come across your path.

47
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:21,480
Speaker 1: He's already arranged certain people to be good to you.

48
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:25,600
Speaker 1: He's already picked out the right husband or wife for

49
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:30,240
Speaker 1: you and your children. He's already lined up solutions to

50
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:34,919
Speaker 1: problems you haven't even had. God has it already released

51
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:39,480
Speaker 1: into your future. These moments of favor, moments of blessing,

52
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 1: moments of increase. They will help you overcome obstacles, accomplish goals,

53
00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:50,320
Speaker 1: and even thrust you years ahead. But so often when

54
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:52,880
Speaker 1: we look in our future, we don't see how will

55
00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:57,320
Speaker 1: ever rise higher, how will ever fulfill our destiny, how

56
00:02:57,360 --> 00:02:59,080
Speaker 1: our child will ever get back.

57
00:02:58,880 --> 00:02:59,680
Speaker 2: On the right track.

58
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 1: The problem is we're only looking at it in the natural.

59
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:07,200
Speaker 1: But the Scripture says here in Second Corinthians, we have to.

60
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:09,880
Speaker 2: Walk by faith and not by sight.

61
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 1: In other words, we have to believe it before we're

62
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:15,359
Speaker 1: ever going to see it.

63
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 2: If you can see it, you don't need any faith.

64
00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:22,200
Speaker 1: But when it looks impossible and it seems like you've

65
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:25,320
Speaker 1: reached your limits and you don't see how your health

66
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:29,720
Speaker 1: could ever improve, instead of just going by what you see,

67
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:32,960
Speaker 1: if you will listen down and hear in your heart,

68
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:36,680
Speaker 1: you will hear God saying I have a way. Things

69
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:40,320
Speaker 1: are turning around. A moment of favor is coming. I've

70
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 1: already lined up the solution you may not be able

71
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:46,640
Speaker 1: to see it, but in your heart you will sense

72
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:50,480
Speaker 1: that it's on its way. I read something interesting about

73
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:54,680
Speaker 1: a tarantula. It has eight eyes all around its body.

74
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 1: But in spite of these eyes, its vision is very poor.

75
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:01,400
Speaker 1: It can't see far off, and even up close. It's

76
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 1: not sharp and clear. But the tarantula is a very

77
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 1: precise hunter. It's known for its ability to attack and kill.

78
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:14,360
Speaker 1: How can it be so accurate with its vision being

79
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:19,080
Speaker 1: so poor. It's because its legs are full of hairy

80
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:24,479
Speaker 1: follicles that are extremely sensitive, and it can sense something

81
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:28,239
Speaker 1: coming long before it gets there, even though it can't

82
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:33,080
Speaker 1: see well. It's extremely perceptive. That's the way we need

83
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:36,400
Speaker 1: to be. Sometimes when we look in our future, we

84
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:39,200
Speaker 1: don't see anything good. We don't see how we'll get

85
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:41,600
Speaker 1: out of death. We don't see how we'll have this

86
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 1: far and beyond decade that we're talking about. In the natural,

87
00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:48,599
Speaker 1: it looks impossible, just like it's going to be more

88
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:52,760
Speaker 1: of the same. But down in here, if we'll be perceptive,

89
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:57,480
Speaker 1: we will sense somehow, some way it's going to happen.

90
00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:01,400
Speaker 1: Business may be slow, of me is down, but in

91
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:04,919
Speaker 1: spite of all of that, I can sense increase is

92
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:08,479
Speaker 1: coming my way. I can sense it's my decade of favor.

93
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:11,560
Speaker 1: I can sense my greatest victories are still out in

94
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:14,320
Speaker 1: front of me. We used to sing an old song

95
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:18,520
Speaker 1: growing up that says, I've got a feeling everything's.

96
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:18,760
Speaker 2: Gonna be all right.

97
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:22,479
Speaker 1: In other words, I can't explain, it doesn't make sense

98
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:27,040
Speaker 1: to my mind, but I can sense moments of favor.

99
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:27,679
Speaker 2: Are coming my way.

100
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:31,840
Speaker 1: My finances may be down, I'm not worried. I can

101
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:36,040
Speaker 1: sense promotion is in my future. The medical report may

102
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:38,920
Speaker 1: not look good. All the facts are telling me I'm

103
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:42,080
Speaker 1: not gonna get well. I should get discouraged, I should

104
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:45,880
Speaker 1: be depressed. But now I've got a feeling everything's gonna

105
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:49,680
Speaker 1: be all right. See, I've learned sometimes you have to

106
00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:54,120
Speaker 1: turn your mind off. Sometimes there is no logical solution.

107
00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:59,200
Speaker 1: That's why this scripture says, lean not to your own understanding,

108
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:04,120
Speaker 1: try to figure it all out. If you're constantly running

109
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:08,560
Speaker 1: the numbers and over analyzing everything, reading the medical report

110
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:11,680
Speaker 1: every other minute, and looking up your symptoms on twenty

111
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:16,520
Speaker 1: four different websites, all that's gonna do is dull your censor.

112
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:19,359
Speaker 1: You need to turn that off and listen down in

113
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:22,919
Speaker 1: here this is where God speaks. This is where faith

114
00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:26,520
Speaker 1: rises up. All of a sudden, you'll feel a spark

115
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:30,280
Speaker 1: of hope. In the natural it looks impossible, but you'll

116
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:33,200
Speaker 1: hear down and hear something saying God has a way.

117
00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:37,800
Speaker 1: Favor is in your future. Something good is about to happen.

118
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:40,320
Speaker 1: God is going to turn it around. The breakthrough will

119
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:42,919
Speaker 1: be here at any moment. That's what we have to

120
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:46,920
Speaker 1: get in agreement with. Turn off the reasoning and listen

121
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:49,560
Speaker 1: to what you're sensing down in here. Now.

122
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:50,800
Speaker 2: I know some of you've had some.

123
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:54,760
Speaker 1: Bad breaks, a lot of disappointments, and the problem now

124
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:58,800
Speaker 1: is your censor has become dull. In other words, you're

125
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:03,479
Speaker 1: not expecting anything good. You're not living with enthusiasm. The

126
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:07,360
Speaker 1: good news today is your censor is getting a tune up.

127
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:12,520
Speaker 1: God is birthing new dreams, new life, new vision. New

128
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:15,760
Speaker 1: seeds of hope are taken root in your heart. You

129
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:19,320
Speaker 1: may be in difficult times, but God said in Exodus

130
00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:23,720
Speaker 1: thirty three fourteen, I will go with you. I will

131
00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:28,440
Speaker 1: give you rest. Everything will be fine for you. Let

132
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:33,160
Speaker 1: that promise sink down into your heart. Everything will be fine.

133
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:37,240
Speaker 1: Not some things, not half of it, not ninety nine percent. No.

134
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:40,960
Speaker 1: If you'll keep your trust in him, everything is going

135
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:43,840
Speaker 1: to be just fine for you. Some of you have

136
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:47,760
Speaker 1: been through a great loss. You're very disappointed. Doesn't look

137
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:50,720
Speaker 1: like you'll ever see bright days. But God is saying,

138
00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:54,360
Speaker 1: I have beauty for your ashes. I'm about to open

139
00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:57,280
Speaker 1: up a new door. Everything is going to be fine

140
00:07:57,320 --> 00:08:01,400
Speaker 1: for you. Maybe a relationship didn't work out, but that

141
00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:04,960
Speaker 1: is not the end. It's a new beginning. God has

142
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:08,320
Speaker 1: someone else in your future. Everything is going to be

143
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:11,520
Speaker 1: fine for you. Some of you just have a lot

144
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:16,160
Speaker 1: on your plate. You're working hard, raising your children, taking

145
00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:19,880
Speaker 1: care of elderly parents. Doesn't look like it's ever gonna change.

146
00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:22,080
Speaker 1: God is saying, come.

147
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:24,240
Speaker 2: Back to that place of peace. I want to give

148
00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:28,480
Speaker 2: you rest. Everything is going to be fine for you. Friends.

149
00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:34,720
Speaker 1: Don't let stress, worry, negativity, discouragement, dull your censor. Listen

150
00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:38,240
Speaker 1: down in here. God is saying, it's gonna be all right.

151
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:42,079
Speaker 1: I've got a moment of favor coming. Things are about

152
00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:45,560
Speaker 1: to turn around. The solution is already lined up, the

153
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:48,960
Speaker 1: promotion is already on its way. The breakthrough could happen

154
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:52,120
Speaker 1: at any moment. Now we've got to get in agreement

155
00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:56,719
Speaker 1: with God. Circumstances may have us down on the outside,

156
00:08:56,760 --> 00:09:00,839
Speaker 1: but we've got to get up on the insideitude should be.

157
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:03,640
Speaker 1: My health may be going down a little bit, but

158
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:07,439
Speaker 1: I've got a feeling I'm coming back strong. Maybe a

159
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:10,240
Speaker 1: little stressful at the office. I don't see how it's

160
00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:12,880
Speaker 1: ever going to change, but I'm not worried. I walk

161
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:15,720
Speaker 1: by faith and not by sight. I know a moment

162
00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:18,600
Speaker 1: of favor is coming my way. I can sense it.

163
00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:21,760
Speaker 1: Everything is going to be all right. This is what

164
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:24,640
Speaker 1: I had to do when we were renovating this facility.

165
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:28,720
Speaker 1: Cost about one hundred million dollars to convert this from

166
00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:32,640
Speaker 1: a basketball arena to a worship facility. A bank loaned

167
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:35,679
Speaker 1: us part of the money. Toward the end, we had

168
00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:36,920
Speaker 1: a twenty million.

169
00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:39,600
Speaker 2: Dollar payment to make. It's a very critical time.

170
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:43,040
Speaker 1: The people, many of you, had given so generously, and

171
00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:46,120
Speaker 1: we had made all of our other payments, but this

172
00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:49,359
Speaker 1: final payment that would take us out of the construction

173
00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:52,839
Speaker 1: phase over into the regular financing. We found that we

174
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:55,400
Speaker 1: were about fifteen million dollars short.

175
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:58,440
Speaker 2: It was going to be due in several months time.

176
00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:02,960
Speaker 1: Our team hand all the numbers and they calculated and

177
00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:07,160
Speaker 1: projected moved things around, but no matter what we did,

178
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:10,720
Speaker 1: we were still millions and millions short. And I'd put

179
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:13,400
Speaker 1: my name on the line, I'd given them my word.

180
00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:16,880
Speaker 1: In the natural, I should have been worried. I should

181
00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:20,280
Speaker 1: have been losing sleep at night. My mind, these thoughts

182
00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:22,800
Speaker 1: were telling me that it's not gonna work out, it's

183
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:24,719
Speaker 1: gonna be a big mess. You're not even gonna be

184
00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:28,520
Speaker 1: able to move in all these discouraging thoughts in my head.

185
00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:31,920
Speaker 1: But down in here it was the most amazing thing.

186
00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:36,319
Speaker 1: I had an incredible peace. I could sense it. Everything

187
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:39,400
Speaker 1: is gonna be all right. God is still on the throne.

188
00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:43,960
Speaker 1: He's in complete control. I couldn't make it work on paper,

189
00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:47,679
Speaker 1: couldn't explain it. My head was telling me no way,

190
00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:51,720
Speaker 1: but my heart was saying yes way. All through the day,

191
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:55,079
Speaker 1: instead of worrying, I'd go around saying, Father, thank you

192
00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:58,240
Speaker 1: that you're supplying all of our needs. It was your

193
00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:01,600
Speaker 1: goodness that gave us this place, and it's your goodness

194
00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:04,480
Speaker 1: that will take care of us. At that time, the

195
00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:07,600
Speaker 1: church owned a television station that we had been trying

196
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:10,760
Speaker 1: to sell for more than three years. The market was

197
00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:15,040
Speaker 1: very down. No one was buying independent stations We were

198
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:17,120
Speaker 1: told the most we could get for it if we

199
00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:20,640
Speaker 1: did sell it was eighteen to nineteen million dollars, and

200
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:23,480
Speaker 1: we owed eight million dollars on it, so even if

201
00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:24,079
Speaker 1: we were.

202
00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:26,760
Speaker 2: To sell it, we would still come up short. But

203
00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:29,479
Speaker 2: just a few weeks before the big payment.

204
00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:33,040
Speaker 1: Was due, a buyer for the station came along. Things

205
00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:36,720
Speaker 1: fell into place, and he bought it. Not for eighteen million,

206
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:39,480
Speaker 1: not for nineteen, not for twenty, not for twenty five,

207
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:41,240
Speaker 1: not for twenty eight, not for thirty.

208
00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:43,320
Speaker 2: He bought it for thirty two million dollars.

209
00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:46,079
Speaker 1: We were able to make that payment, and we've been

210
00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:50,600
Speaker 1: going strong ever since. That was a moment of favor

211
00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:53,720
Speaker 1: that God had already released into my future.

212
00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:55,760
Speaker 2: All I had to do was believe.

213
00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:59,120
Speaker 1: All I had to do was stay in faith and

214
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:03,560
Speaker 1: not let dab and unbelieve, stop or delay what God

215
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:08,000
Speaker 1: had already lined up. Friends, God has already lined up

216
00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:12,080
Speaker 1: solutions for every problem you will ever have. He's already

217
00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:16,360
Speaker 1: lined up the people, the breaks, the finances, the opportunity,

218
00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:18,440
Speaker 1: the wisdom, the ideas.

219
00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:21,000
Speaker 2: You don't have to live life worried.

220
00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:24,160
Speaker 1: You don't have to go around frustrated because it's not

221
00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:27,160
Speaker 1: happening as fast as you would like. No, come back

222
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:30,400
Speaker 1: to that place of peace, stay at rest, knowing that

223
00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:31,240
Speaker 1: it's on its way.

224
00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:34,480
Speaker 2: I love what the prophet Elijah did.

225
00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:37,600
Speaker 1: There had been a great drought in the land for

226
00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:40,360
Speaker 1: three and a half years. The people were in desperate

227
00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:44,119
Speaker 1: need of water. One day Elijah said to King Ahab,

228
00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:48,000
Speaker 1: I hear the sound of the abundance of rain.

229
00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:50,000
Speaker 2: The fact is, when he.

230
00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:53,320
Speaker 1: Said it, there wasn't a cloud in the sky, no

231
00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:57,439
Speaker 1: sign of rain, no thunder. Yet he could sense something

232
00:12:57,520 --> 00:13:01,960
Speaker 1: coming before it got there. I'm sure Ahab thought, the

233
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:05,040
Speaker 1: heat is getting to this old man. There's no rain,

234
00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:08,120
Speaker 1: there's no thunder. Why is he talking like this. No,

235
00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:11,640
Speaker 1: Elijah didn't hear it physically. He heard it down in here,

236
00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:15,679
Speaker 1: and he was bold enough to announce it. That's why

237
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:19,559
Speaker 1: I'm always announcing to you what I sense in my spirit.

238
00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:25,720
Speaker 1: And I sense and exceedingly abundantly above and beyond decade

239
00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:30,480
Speaker 1: of God's favor for you. I can sense God is

240
00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:33,559
Speaker 1: about to open up doors for you bigger than you've

241
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:37,080
Speaker 1: ever dreamed of. I can sense you're about to see

242
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:41,080
Speaker 1: the breakthroughs that you've been praying about. I can sense

243
00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:44,120
Speaker 1: the promises you've been standing on are about to come

244
00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:48,200
Speaker 1: to pass. Like Elijah, the sound I hear over you

245
00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:53,520
Speaker 1: is the sound of abundance, abundance of favor, abundance of health,

246
00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:58,240
Speaker 1: abundance of good breaks, abundance of wisdom, abundance.

247
00:13:57,679 --> 00:13:58,679
Speaker 2: In your finances.

248
00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:02,280
Speaker 1: I hear the sound of an abundance of victory over

249
00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:05,800
Speaker 1: each one of you. And even though Elijah couldn't see

250
00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:08,880
Speaker 1: any sight of rain, he could sense that it was coming.

251
00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:12,440
Speaker 1: If you read the story, it wasn't any time before

252
00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:15,800
Speaker 1: the heavens opened up, the rains came pouring down, and

253
00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:17,840
Speaker 1: the three and a half year drought was ended.

254
00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:21,160
Speaker 2: Some of you today may feel like you've been in.

255
00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:25,240
Speaker 1: A drought in your finances, your career, your health, your family.

256
00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:28,520
Speaker 1: But God is saying to you what he said to Elijah.

257
00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:31,400
Speaker 1: I'm about to do a new thing. I'm about to

258
00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:35,000
Speaker 1: open up the windows of heaven. I'm about to release

259
00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:38,840
Speaker 1: a moment of favor that I already have in your future.

260
00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:42,280
Speaker 1: Now you need to do your part and start expecting

261
00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:46,480
Speaker 1: it and declaring it. You may be struggling in your finances,

262
00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:49,520
Speaker 1: but don't go around with a poor mouth. Your report

263
00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:52,600
Speaker 1: should be I can hear the sound of abundance.

264
00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:55,520
Speaker 2: I know promotion and increase are coming my way.

265
00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:59,560
Speaker 1: You may be struggling in your health, but your report

266
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:01,880
Speaker 1: should be I'm getting better and better.

267
00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:03,520
Speaker 2: God is restoring health.

268
00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:07,760
Speaker 1: Unto me, my youth is being renewed like the eagles. Now,

269
00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:09,880
Speaker 1: when you do that, other people may look at you

270
00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:13,720
Speaker 1: like Ahab looked at Elijah, and think, why are they

271
00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:14,440
Speaker 1: talking like that.

272
00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:17,479
Speaker 2: They're not healthy, they're not blessed, they're not prosperous.

273
00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:20,120
Speaker 1: No, don't worry about it. They can't hear the sound.

274
00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:23,880
Speaker 1: They can't sense what you're sensing. They're just looking at

275
00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:27,520
Speaker 1: it in the natural. But like Elijah, you can sense

276
00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:30,720
Speaker 1: something great is coming long before it gets here.

277
00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:34,000
Speaker 2: This is what a young lady in the scripture did.

278
00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:37,320
Speaker 1: Her name was Ruth. Her husband had been killed in

279
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:40,120
Speaker 1: a battle. Now she was living with her mother in law.

280
00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:43,400
Speaker 1: Every morning she would go out in the fields and

281
00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:46,800
Speaker 1: pick up the leftover wheat that the reapers had missed.

282
00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:51,080
Speaker 1: I'm sure Ruth was tempted to be discouraged. She'd gone

283
00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:55,640
Speaker 1: through this great tragedy. Her heart was broken, her dreams

284
00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:58,720
Speaker 1: were shattered. She could have easily just given up on

285
00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:03,360
Speaker 1: life and settled. She was, But I can imagine down deep.

286
00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:07,120
Speaker 1: Ruth had this same promise in her heart. Everything is

287
00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:10,360
Speaker 1: going to be all right. I can't explain, it doesn't

288
00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:11,080
Speaker 1: make sense.

289
00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:11,520
Speaker 2: To my mind.

290
00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:14,680
Speaker 1: I know I should be depressed, I shouldn't be hopeful,

291
00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:15,920
Speaker 1: but I can sense it.

292
00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:17,920
Speaker 2: Something great is.

293
00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:21,240
Speaker 1: Still in my future. The man that owned all those

294
00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:25,200
Speaker 1: fields was named Boaz. One morning he saw Ruth out

295
00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:28,600
Speaker 1: there working. He had never met her, never talked to her,

296
00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:31,960
Speaker 1: but he said to his workers, I want you to

297
00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:35,400
Speaker 1: leave extra wheat on the ground on purpose.

298
00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:37,120
Speaker 2: To make it easier on that young lady.

299
00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:42,160
Speaker 1: Notice he didn't talk to her, he talked about her.

300
00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:46,200
Speaker 1: Ruth never heard what he said, but all of a sudden,

301
00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:49,960
Speaker 1: her life got much easier. She had more wheat than

302
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:52,720
Speaker 1: she could handle. She got done in half the amount

303
00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:57,480
Speaker 1: of time, all because somebody she didn't even know put

304
00:16:57,480 --> 00:16:58,480
Speaker 1: in a good word for her.

305
00:16:59,040 --> 00:16:59,920
Speaker 2: Here's my point.

306
00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:03,880
Speaker 1: God has already spoken to the right people to be

307
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:07,040
Speaker 1: good to you. You may not ever even hear it,

308
00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:11,399
Speaker 1: you may not ever know them. But just like Ruth,

309
00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:15,200
Speaker 1: as you're being your best each day, as you're honoring God,

310
00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:18,320
Speaker 1: you are going to come into blessings that you've never

311
00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:22,360
Speaker 1: seen before, Blessings that you can't explain you're gonna get

312
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:25,320
Speaker 1: breaks that you didn't deserve. People are going to go

313
00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:28,680
Speaker 1: out of their way to help further your dreams. That's

314
00:17:28,720 --> 00:17:32,080
Speaker 1: a moment of favor that God has already lined up.

315
00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:35,359
Speaker 1: This tells me we don't have to play up to

316
00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:38,520
Speaker 1: people to try to win their friendship. We don't have

317
00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:41,760
Speaker 1: to try to manipulate things and try to win somebody

318
00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:42,879
Speaker 1: over gain their favor.

319
00:17:42,920 --> 00:17:46,040
Speaker 2: No, listen, God will give you favor with who you're

320
00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:47,360
Speaker 2: supposed to have favor with.

321
00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:51,320
Speaker 1: If somebody doesn't want to be your friend, don't worry

322
00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:51,800
Speaker 1: about it.

323
00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:54,480
Speaker 2: If a door closes, don't get discouraged.

324
00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:57,880
Speaker 1: Just keep being your best every day and God will

325
00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:01,040
Speaker 1: speak to the right people peace, people that matter to

326
00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:04,399
Speaker 1: your divine destiny. He'll cause them to be good to you.

327
00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:08,240
Speaker 1: I have a friend that I've known for a long time,

328
00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:11,160
Speaker 1: and he's always had a dream to own his own business.

329
00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:14,919
Speaker 1: Year after year, he's been faithful right where he is

330
00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:18,200
Speaker 1: in the position that he's had, just being his best,

331
00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:22,520
Speaker 1: and he's always being good to somebody, not just encouraging them,

332
00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:24,639
Speaker 1: but he'll go over to their house at night and

333
00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:27,439
Speaker 1: fix something for him, or give somebody a ride to

334
00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:28,080
Speaker 1: the airport.

335
00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:29,720
Speaker 2: He just got a giving spirit.

336
00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:32,600
Speaker 1: In a while back, a man that he had known

337
00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:35,399
Speaker 1: for some time asked him to go to dinner. He

338
00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:37,800
Speaker 1: thought they were just going to catch up on old times,

339
00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:42,080
Speaker 1: but this man brought a proposal to start a new business.

340
00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:45,960
Speaker 1: This man already owns a very successful company, but he

341
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:49,240
Speaker 1: wanted to start something new. My friend thought that he

342
00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:51,920
Speaker 1: just wanted to get his advice about it, maybe get

343
00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:52,760
Speaker 1: some encouragement.

344
00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:54,639
Speaker 2: But he said no, I don't want just that.

345
00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:57,560
Speaker 1: I want you to be my partner and we will

346
00:18:57,600 --> 00:19:01,399
Speaker 1: split it fifty to fifty, and was really thrilled. He said, man,

347
00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:03,760
Speaker 1: I'd love to do that, but I don't have the

348
00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:06,520
Speaker 1: funds like you do. I can't put in fifty percent

349
00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:09,080
Speaker 1: like you can. The man said, don't worry about it.

350
00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:11,919
Speaker 1: I don't need your funds. That's taken care of. I

351
00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:14,879
Speaker 1: just want to bless you because you've always been so

352
00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:18,919
Speaker 1: good to me. Now my friend owns fifty percent of

353
00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:22,159
Speaker 1: a growing business. His dream has come to pass. What

354
00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:26,200
Speaker 1: was that he walked into a moment of favor that

355
00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:30,960
Speaker 1: God had already lined up for him. That business was

356
00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:35,200
Speaker 1: dropped in his lap, just like those workers were told

357
00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:39,280
Speaker 1: to leave extra wheat on purpose for Ruth. He walked

358
00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:44,040
Speaker 1: into an incredible opportunity that God had already spoken to

359
00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:47,399
Speaker 1: somebody to leave for him. Friends, God has done the

360
00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:50,640
Speaker 1: same thing for each one of you. He has doors

361
00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:53,399
Speaker 1: that he's going to open that are going to amaze you.

362
00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:56,960
Speaker 1: He has opportunity he's going to bring across your path

363
00:19:57,119 --> 00:20:01,000
Speaker 1: that's greater than you can imagine. Some of you kind

364
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:03,600
Speaker 1: of think that you've reached your limits and you could

365
00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:07,840
Speaker 1: never accomplish your dreams. Never pay off your house, never

366
00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:11,440
Speaker 1: leave anything for your children. No, you don't know what

367
00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:16,000
Speaker 1: God has already spoken over you. You don't know the incredible

368
00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:17,800
Speaker 1: things God has come in your way.

369
00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:20,960
Speaker 2: One verse talks about how when you.

370
00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:24,439
Speaker 1: Stay faithful to honor God and be your very best

371
00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:29,760
Speaker 1: each day, it says, then payday is coming. Friends, God

372
00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:32,200
Speaker 1: rewards the people that seek after him.

373
00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:34,040
Speaker 2: Many of you have been.

374
00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:37,280
Speaker 1: Faithful, You have given, you have served. God is saying

375
00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:40,960
Speaker 1: your payday is on its way. He is about to

376
00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:44,560
Speaker 1: release a moment of favor that he already has in

377
00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:47,760
Speaker 1: your future. All God has to do is speak to

378
00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:51,560
Speaker 1: one person, and your whole life can change for the better.

379
00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:55,240
Speaker 1: I think about how when we were trying to acquire

380
00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:59,399
Speaker 1: this facility, the former Compact Center, we needed ten votes

381
00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:02,320
Speaker 1: from the city council members. We had worked on this

382
00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:05,600
Speaker 1: for over three years. Up to the last week. We

383
00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:08,720
Speaker 1: had the ten votes, but then one of the council

384
00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:12,160
Speaker 1: members changed his mind and decided to be out of town.

385
00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:15,880
Speaker 1: Him not being there was just like a vote against us.

386
00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:17,520
Speaker 2: We needed his vote.

387
00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:21,439
Speaker 1: We were so discouraged, so disappointed. Looked like all of

388
00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:24,239
Speaker 1: our work had just gone down the drain. But we

389
00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:28,600
Speaker 1: got word the night before the main vote that a

390
00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:32,600
Speaker 1: young Jewish council member changed his mind and was going

391
00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:35,960
Speaker 1: to vote for us. We couldn't believe it. We had

392
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:38,920
Speaker 1: worked on him for over two years. I had done

393
00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:41,560
Speaker 1: my best to try to convince him, to persuade him,

394
00:21:41,600 --> 00:21:44,399
Speaker 1: but I could never do it. After the vote we

395
00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:47,560
Speaker 1: got the facility, I asked him what it was that

396
00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:51,159
Speaker 1: changed his mind. He told how he got a call

397
00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:54,480
Speaker 1: from a long lost friend of his that he hadn't

398
00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:57,800
Speaker 1: spoken to in years and years. She was an elderly

399
00:21:57,920 --> 00:22:01,600
Speaker 1: Jewish lady that he had a great deal of respect for.

400
00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:06,000
Speaker 1: He said, Joel, she told me, in no uncertain terms

401
00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:09,280
Speaker 1: that I was to vote for your church. And it

402
00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:12,679
Speaker 1: was that one phone call that one lady that changed

403
00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:17,080
Speaker 1: my mind. The funny thing is, I don't know who

404
00:22:17,119 --> 00:22:20,320
Speaker 1: that lady was. I've never met her, I never asked

405
00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:20,880
Speaker 1: her to call.

406
00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:22,359
Speaker 2: You know what she was?

407
00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:26,119
Speaker 1: She was our boass. God did for us what we

408
00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:30,240
Speaker 1: couldn't do for ourselves. God calls somebody we didn't even

409
00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:33,000
Speaker 1: know to put in a good word for us, and

410
00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:37,040
Speaker 1: here we are today. Friends, God knows who he needs

411
00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:39,760
Speaker 1: to influence to get you to where you're supposed to be.

412
00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:42,680
Speaker 1: You may not be able to persuade them, they may

413
00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:43,720
Speaker 1: not want to be your friend.

414
00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:44,800
Speaker 2: Don't worry about it.

415
00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:47,679
Speaker 1: God will speak to the right people that can make

416
00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:48,240
Speaker 1: a difference.

417
00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:49,560
Speaker 2: He's got it all lined up.

418
00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:53,439
Speaker 1: But some of you little frustrated because you're trying to

419
00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:56,520
Speaker 1: make it happen on your own, trying to convince somebody

420
00:22:56,600 --> 00:22:59,080
Speaker 1: to like you, trying to impress them. No, listen, just

421
00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:01,960
Speaker 1: do your best and let God take care of the rest.

422
00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:04,679
Speaker 1: Do what you can do, and then trust God to

423
00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:08,119
Speaker 1: do what you can't do. You have no idea the

424
00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:11,520
Speaker 1: amazing things that God has spoken over your life, the

425
00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:15,600
Speaker 1: incredible doors he's going to open. He has opportunity and

426
00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:18,840
Speaker 1: promotion that he's going to bring across your path that's

427
00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:22,680
Speaker 1: greater than you've ever imagined. I think about how one

428
00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:27,479
Speaker 1: young lady from the New York Yankee Baseball Organization really

429
00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:30,199
Speaker 1: liked our ministry. She had been to some of our

430
00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:33,520
Speaker 1: Nights of Hope, and she invited us to come and

431
00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:37,159
Speaker 1: open up the New Yankee Ballpark. She was not in

432
00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:40,639
Speaker 1: the top management. She had to go through level after

433
00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:44,159
Speaker 1: level after level. It could have been stopped at any point.

434
00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:47,240
Speaker 1: They could have come up with plenty of reasons not

435
00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:49,800
Speaker 1: to do it. Hey, it's just too new. We don't

436
00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:52,560
Speaker 1: want anybody on the field. We've got too many bugs

437
00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:55,640
Speaker 1: to work out. There were plenty of excuses they could

438
00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:59,320
Speaker 1: have found. But listen, when God wants something done, it's

439
00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:00,359
Speaker 1: going to get done.

440
00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:02,600
Speaker 2: No person can stand against him.

441
00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:08,639
Speaker 1: She got approval after approval after approval. Things fell into place.

442
00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:11,240
Speaker 1: You know how last April we opened up the New

443
00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:16,040
Speaker 1: Yankee Stadium all because God spoke to one young lady,

444
00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:19,800
Speaker 1: one young girl. God gave her a desire to be

445
00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:23,119
Speaker 1: good to us, and she opened a door bigger than

446
00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:26,640
Speaker 1: we've ever even imagined. That was another moment of favor

447
00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:30,240
Speaker 1: that God had already released into our future. In the

448
00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:33,679
Speaker 1: coming days, God is going to give you favor with

449
00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:34,679
Speaker 1: the right people.

450
00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:36,040
Speaker 2: You don't need.

451
00:24:35,880 --> 00:24:39,680
Speaker 1: Favor with everyone, You just need favor with the right one.

452
00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:43,040
Speaker 2: It doesn't matter how high they are or how low

453
00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:43,480
Speaker 2: they are.

454
00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:47,439
Speaker 1: All that matters is God has ordained them to be

455
00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:50,919
Speaker 1: good to you. He's going to speak to people about

456
00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:52,439
Speaker 1: you that you don't even know about.

457
00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:54,600
Speaker 2: That's going to give you a new level of influence.

458
00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:58,800
Speaker 1: Don't be surprised when doors opened bigger than you've ever imagined.

459
00:24:59,119 --> 00:25:01,119
Speaker 2: That's God moving on a boass.

460
00:25:01,480 --> 00:25:04,200
Speaker 1: Don't be surprised when you get breaks that you didn't

461
00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:08,280
Speaker 1: really deserve. Somewhere God spoke to somebody to be good

462
00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:10,720
Speaker 1: to you. I want you to go into this new

463
00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:14,440
Speaker 1: decade not just excited about your future, but I want

464
00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:18,080
Speaker 1: you to start sensing what's coming. You've got to activate

465
00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:21,439
Speaker 1: your faith. Our attitude should be I can sense it.

466
00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:24,600
Speaker 1: Something good is about to happen. I can sense it.

467
00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:28,239
Speaker 1: Things are changing in my favor in the natural. It

468
00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:30,800
Speaker 1: may not look like it. I can't see it, but

469
00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:33,720
Speaker 1: I can sense it. I walk by faith and not

470
00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:37,840
Speaker 1: by sight. When you do that, your faith is being released.

471

Speaker 1: You're about to walk into a moment of favor that

475
00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:52,640
Speaker 1: God has already released into your future. God is going

476
00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:55,639
Speaker 1: to take you places that you've never imagined. He is

477
00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:58,879
Speaker 1: opening up doors that no man can shut. He has

478
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:02,480
Speaker 1: already spoken and to the right people about you. You

Speaker 1: have to struggle for. You going to get promoted even

481
00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:11,760
Speaker 1: though you were not the most qualified. God's face is

482
00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:14,840
Speaker 1: shining down on you. This is what the scripture says.

483
00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:17,639
Speaker 1: God is going to give you houses that you didn't

484
00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:21,800
Speaker 1: have to build, vineyards that you didn't plan, wells that

485
00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:22,920
Speaker 1: you didn't have to dig.

486
00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:31,760
Speaker 2: That's the goodness of God. I've seen it in my

487
00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:32,359
Speaker 2: own life.

488
00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:35,160
Speaker 1: Now I know if God did it for me, if

489
00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:36,880
Speaker 1: he did it for Ruth, he.

490
00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:37,920
