I promise you we'll 28 00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:27,640 Speaker 4: make you feel right at home. I'd like to start 29 00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:31,000 Speaker 4: with something funny. I heard about this single man. He'd 30 00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:34,160 Speaker 4: been living at home with his elderly father, who was 31 00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:37,760 Speaker 4: very wealthy. He decided he needed to find a wife 32 00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:40,880 Speaker 4: so he could enjoy the fortune he would inherit when 33 00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:45,200 Speaker 4: his father died. One evening at an investment meeting, he 34 00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:48,800 Speaker 4: saw the most beautiful girl he'd ever seen. She took 35 00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:51,840 Speaker 4: his breath away. He said to her, I know, I 36 00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:55,280 Speaker 4: look like just an ordinary guy, but in a few years, 37 00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:58,920 Speaker 4: when my father passes, I will inherit hundreds of millions 38 00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:03,560 Speaker 4: of dollars. Impressed, she took his business card. Three months later, 39 00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:07,800 Speaker 4: she married his father. Say it like you mean it. 40 00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:10,959 Speaker 4: This is my Bible. I am what it says, I am, 41 00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:13,640 Speaker 4: I have what it says I have, I can do 42 00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:14,880 Speaker 4: what it says I can do. 43 00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:17,520 Speaker 3: Today I will be taught the word of God. 44 00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:22,400 Speaker 4: I boldly confess my mind is alert, my heart is receptive. 45 00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:26,200 Speaker 4: I will never be the same. In Jesus' name, God 46 00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:30,720 Speaker 4: bless you. I want to talk to you today about supersized. 47 00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:33,680 Speaker 4: A few years ago I went to a fast food 48 00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:37,200 Speaker 4: restaurant with our children. We pulled into the drive through 49 00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:40,040 Speaker 4: and placed our order. Just when I was about to 50 00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:42,760 Speaker 4: pull up to the main window where you pay, the 51 00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:46,480 Speaker 4: young lady said, would you like to supersize that. I 52 00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:49,080 Speaker 4: didn't know what that meant. I asked her about it. 53 00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:51,560 Speaker 4: She said, that means you'll get more French fries, a 54 00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:56,040 Speaker 4: larger drink, a bigger hamburger instead of the normal portions. 55 00:02:56,240 --> 00:03:01,320 Speaker 4: It will be supersized bigger than expected. That's what God 56 00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:04,799 Speaker 4: wants to do for you. His dream for your life 57 00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:07,920 Speaker 4: is much bigger than your own. He's going to take 58 00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:11,960 Speaker 4: you further than you're expecting. He's going to open doors 59 00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:14,520 Speaker 4: that you could have never opened. He's going to give 60 00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:18,360 Speaker 4: you more influence than you thought possible. Paul said in 61 00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:23,920 Speaker 4: Ephesians three, God will do exceeding abundantly above all we 62 00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:28,040 Speaker 4: can ask or think. He's saying in today's language, God 63 00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:32,720 Speaker 4: is going to supersize your life. Whatever you're dreaming about, 64 00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:36,280 Speaker 4: whatever you're believing for, God's going to take that and 65 00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:40,320 Speaker 4: make it bigger, better, more rewarding than you've ever imagined. 66 00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:42,480 Speaker 3: Maybe your dream is to. 67 00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:44,480 Speaker 4: Get out of debt, to be able to pay your 68 00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:48,440 Speaker 4: house off. That's good, but God is going to supersize it. 69 00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:49,600 Speaker 3: He's going to. 70 00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:52,400 Speaker 4: Bless you in such a way that you cannot only 71 00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:55,360 Speaker 4: pay off your house, but you can help other people 72 00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:56,520 Speaker 4: pay off their house. 73 00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:59,440 Speaker 3: Where you don't just have enough for yourself, you. 74 00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:02,960 Speaker 4: Have aun so you can be a blessing to somebody else. 75 00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:07,480 Speaker 4: That's what happens when God supercizes Your prayer. May be 76 00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:10,920 Speaker 4: for your son to get back on course. He's running 77 00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:14,120 Speaker 4: with the wrong crowd, making decisions that are not good. 78 00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:17,000 Speaker 4: You'd be happy if he just got back to where 79 00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:21,559 Speaker 4: he was. But when God supersizes it, he's not only 80 00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:24,200 Speaker 4: going to bring him back to the right course, he's 81 00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:26,920 Speaker 4: going to use him to help other people in that 82 00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:30,960 Speaker 4: same situation. You're going to be amazed at the difference 83 00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:32,159 Speaker 4: that your son will make. 84 00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:36,360 Speaker 3: Maybe you're single, your dream is to meet the right person. 85 00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:40,600 Speaker 4: You have this specific criteria that you're looking for, these 86 00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:44,159 Speaker 4: qualifications that you would be happy with. But when God 87 00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:48,160 Speaker 4: supercizes it, he's going to bring you somebody better than 88 00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:51,600 Speaker 4: you've imagined. That's what happened to me when I met 89 00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:56,560 Speaker 4: Victoria in my early twenties. She exceeded my expectations. She 90 00:04:56,720 --> 00:05:00,960 Speaker 4: was not only smart, talented, funny, beautiful, but she had 91 00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:04,960 Speaker 4: the best taste in men. She was a supersized blessing. 92 00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:09,039 Speaker 4: Your dream may be to work your way up to 93 00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:12,720 Speaker 4: management to one day lead that department. But when God 94 00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:16,400 Speaker 4: supersizes it, you're not going to be working for that company. 95 00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:19,120 Speaker 4: You're going to own your own company. You're going to 96 00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:23,160 Speaker 4: look up and say, this is exceeding abundantly above anything 97 00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:25,400 Speaker 4: I could ask or imagine. 98 00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:27,200 Speaker 3: What you're dreaming about may. 99 00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:29,720 Speaker 4: Seem big to you. You don't see how it can happen, 100 00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:32,800 Speaker 4: how you could get out of debt, break the addiction, 101 00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:36,279 Speaker 4: accomplish that goal. You have to stretch your faith to 102 00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:40,000 Speaker 4: just believe that it will happen. But what you're believing 103 00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:43,560 Speaker 4: for is just the starting point. God is going to 104 00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:48,480 Speaker 4: exceed your expectations. He has a supersized life in front 105 00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:51,400 Speaker 4: of you. I know a young lady that came from 106 00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:55,320 Speaker 4: a low income family. Her parents and relatives had always 107 00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:58,679 Speaker 4: struggled to make it. Her father worked the night shift 108 00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:02,760 Speaker 4: as a janitor clean large buildings. Her mother would get 109 00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:06,680 Speaker 4: odd jobs here and there, babysitting children. All she had 110 00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:11,240 Speaker 4: seen growing up was lack and mediocrity. Her dream was 111 00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:15,400 Speaker 4: to one day work in a professional environment. She thought, 112 00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:17,680 Speaker 4: if she could just get something better than those low 113 00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:21,080 Speaker 4: level jobs that her parents had, she would be doing good. 114 00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:24,120 Speaker 3: A friend of hers worked at a movie studio. 115 00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:27,920 Speaker 4: She said there was a position available as a secretary. 116 00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:32,279 Speaker 4: This young lady had put herself through college, the first 117 00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:35,520 Speaker 4: one in her family to get a degree. She applied 118 00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:38,480 Speaker 4: for that position, and she got it. She was on 119 00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:42,640 Speaker 4: cloud nine. Not only did she work in a professional office, 120 00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:47,560 Speaker 4: but she made twice what her parents made combined. In 121 00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:51,320 Speaker 4: her mind, she had accomplished her goal. God had blessed 122 00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:56,680 Speaker 4: her in incredible ways. She was satisfied. But God wasn't satisfied. 123 00:06:57,080 --> 00:07:01,279 Speaker 4: He's in the supersizing business. He has for you is 124 00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:05,479 Speaker 4: bigger than you've imagined. She got one promotion, and another promotion, 125 00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:09,640 Speaker 4: and another. Today she's the vice president of one of 126 00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:14,160 Speaker 4: the largest movie studios in the world. She has incredible influence. 127 00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:18,120 Speaker 4: She decides which movies will be made, works with the 128 00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:22,080 Speaker 4: biggest names in Hollywood. She told me Joel, I can't 129 00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:25,960 Speaker 4: even fathom where I am. Every day I go to work, 130 00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:29,000 Speaker 4: I have to pinch myself to make sure this is real. 131 00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:31,440 Speaker 3: That's God's dream for you. 132 00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:35,520 Speaker 4: If you will keep honoring Him being your best right 133 00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:39,040 Speaker 4: where you are, then get ready for a supersized life. 134 00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:40,560 Speaker 3: Get ready for. 135 00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:43,800 Speaker 4: Doors to open that you couldn't open. Get ready to 136 00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:47,680 Speaker 4: go places that you've never dreamed. One day, you're going 137 00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:50,760 Speaker 4: to say, like her, I can't even fathom that I'm here. 138 00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:54,480 Speaker 4: Never dreamed I'd be running my own business. Never dreamed 139 00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:57,480 Speaker 4: I'd be living in this house. Never dream my children 140 00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:00,640 Speaker 4: would be this successful. I never dreamed I'd be this 141 00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:04,679 Speaker 4: healthy again. Every time I'd drive up to the Compact Center, 142 00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:08,040 Speaker 4: this place, like that, lady, I have to pinch myself. 143 00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:09,600 Speaker 3: I had season. 144 00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:12,920 Speaker 4: Tickets growing up to watch the Rockets play basketball. I 145 00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:16,760 Speaker 4: never dreamed one day this would be Lakewood. Never dreamed 146 00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:19,680 Speaker 4: that I would be a minister. Never dreamed after thirty 147 00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:23,400 Speaker 4: five years of being diagnosed with terminal cancer, my mother 148 00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:27,480 Speaker 4: would still be alive today. What is that the exceeding, 149 00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:32,320 Speaker 4: abundantly above and beyond favor God has in store. In 150 00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:35,440 Speaker 4: Acts chapter three, there was a crippled man that was 151 00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:38,079 Speaker 4: carried to the temple each day, and they put him 152 00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:40,600 Speaker 4: next to the main door. He would sit there and 153 00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:44,240 Speaker 4: ask for money. This is how he survived. Year after 154 00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:47,840 Speaker 4: year people would give him donations. Look like this was 155 00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:51,280 Speaker 4: his lot in life. He didn't complain about it. He 156 00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:52,720 Speaker 4: was doing his best with. 157 00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:53,360 Speaker 3: What he had. 158 00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:57,080 Speaker 4: But one afternoon, Peter and John came to the temple. 159 00:08:57,559 --> 00:09:00,280 Speaker 4: As they were about to walk in, this man asked 160 00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:04,400 Speaker 4: them for money. He must have been looking down, because Peter. 161 00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:05,560 Speaker 3: Said, look at us. 162 00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:10,160 Speaker 4: The scripture says the man looked up, expecting to receive 163 00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:13,680 Speaker 4: a gift. Peter said, I don't have any money for you, 164 00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:16,640 Speaker 4: but I can give you something better in the name 165 00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:20,080 Speaker 4: of Jesus, Rise and walk. Peter took him by the hand. 166 00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:23,600 Speaker 4: He helped the man up. When he did, instantly his 167 00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:27,920 Speaker 4: legs were healed. He started walking, running, leaping, so grateful 168 00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:29,080 Speaker 4: for what God had done. 169 00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:30,840 Speaker 3: But here's my point. 170 00:09:31,080 --> 00:09:34,360 Speaker 4: When Peter said I have something for you, the man 171 00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:39,079 Speaker 4: expected the ordinary. He expected what he had always seen. 172 00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:42,040 Speaker 4: It had happened again and again, the same way. He 173 00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:45,560 Speaker 4: would ask people would give him a few donations, But 174 00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:49,600 Speaker 4: this day God came along and did something out of 175 00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:54,200 Speaker 4: the ordinary. He was expecting a few coins, but God said, 176 00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:58,400 Speaker 4: in effect, I'm going to exceed your expectations. I'm going 177 00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:02,480 Speaker 4: to do above and beyond what you're asking for. That 178 00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:05,960 Speaker 4: one moment of favor thrust him to the next level. 179 00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:11,120 Speaker 4: Like this man, you may be expecting the ordinary. You're 180 00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:14,360 Speaker 4: going through the routine of life being your best with 181 00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:17,920 Speaker 4: what you have. But where you are looks like that's 182 00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:20,600 Speaker 4: the way it's always going to be. There's no sign 183 00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:24,800 Speaker 4: of anything changing. You're expecting more of the same. But 184 00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:29,839 Speaker 4: God is saying, I'm about to exceed your expectations. Yes 185 00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:33,959 Speaker 4: it's been routine, but you pass the test. Now you're 186 00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:36,880 Speaker 4: coming into a new day where I'm about to thrust 187 00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:39,880 Speaker 4: you to a new level. I'm about to increase you 188 00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:44,839 Speaker 4: beyond your normal income. Blessings are about to chase you down. 189 00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:48,560 Speaker 4: Good breaks are going to come finding you. God is 190 00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:52,800 Speaker 4: going to supersize what you're believing for. You didn't ask 191 00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:56,400 Speaker 4: for it, you aren't expecting it. You didn't see it coming. 192 00:10:56,679 --> 00:11:00,360 Speaker 4: It's just the goodness of God. The scripture talks at 193 00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:05,079 Speaker 4: how will be blessed, pressed down, shaken together, and running over. 194 00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:07,280 Speaker 3: You're going to come in. 195 00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:11,440 Speaker 4: To those running over blessings, running over with influence, running 196 00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:15,760 Speaker 4: over with creativity, running over with resources, running over with 197 00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:19,840 Speaker 4: good health. God is a running over God. He's not 198 00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:22,520 Speaker 4: a git by God. He's a more than enough God. 199 00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:26,600 Speaker 4: You may not see how this could happen, but God 200 00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:29,240 Speaker 4: has ways to bless you that you've never thought of. 201 00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:32,880 Speaker 3: In the scripture, when Peter needed money. 202 00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:35,560 Speaker 4: To pay his taxes, Jesus told him to go down 203 00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:38,160 Speaker 4: to the lake. The first fish he caught had the 204 00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:41,800 Speaker 4: money in it that he needed. When the Israelites wanted 205 00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:46,280 Speaker 4: meat out in the wilderness, God shifted the winds and 206 00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:50,480 Speaker 4: caused millions of quall to come into their camp. These 207 00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:53,480 Speaker 4: two million people had a steak dinner out in the 208 00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:57,560 Speaker 4: middle of the desert. Experts tell us quall don't normally 209 00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:01,439 Speaker 4: travel that far away from water. That goes against their 210 00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:06,360 Speaker 4: natural instinct. This was God making something happen that should 211 00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:10,520 Speaker 4: have never happened. Friends, God controls the whole universe. You 212 00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:13,360 Speaker 4: don't have to figure it out, just dare to believe 213 00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:18,120 Speaker 4: all through the day Lord, thank you for supersizing my life. 214 00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:21,840 Speaker 4: Thank you for exceeding my expectations. Thank you for those 215 00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:25,640 Speaker 4: running over blessings. I talked to a man that owns 216 00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:30,400 Speaker 4: a landscape company. Their specialty is bagging grass clippings and 217 00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:33,800 Speaker 4: disposing of them. He had an agreement with a local 218 00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:37,120 Speaker 4: farmer where he would take those grass clippings and feed 219 00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:38,120 Speaker 4: his herd of cattle. 220 00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:42,040 Speaker 3: This worked well for many years. Everything was going great 221 00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:44,400 Speaker 3: until this farmer became sick. 222 00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:48,400 Speaker 4: He was an older gentleman and decided to sell his farm. 223 00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:51,960 Speaker 4: And this man got bids of getting rid of his 224 00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:56,560 Speaker 4: grass clippings in conventional ways, but the lowest one was 225 00:12:56,679 --> 00:12:59,920 Speaker 4: tens of thousands of dollars a year. He couldn't afford 226 00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:03,080 Speaker 4: that kind of overhead. Looked like he was stuck, like 227 00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:06,720 Speaker 4: he didn't have any options. But instead of getting discouraged, 228 00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:10,640 Speaker 4: instead of complaining, his attitude was God, I don't see 229 00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:13,200 Speaker 4: a way, but I know you have a way. I 230 00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:16,160 Speaker 4: know You're a running over God, a more than enough God, 231 00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:17,280 Speaker 4: and overflow God. 232 00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:19,520 Speaker 3: Like the blind man, he. 233 00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:23,720 Speaker 4: Was expecting something ordinary, something usual. Maybe the farmer would 234 00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:27,200 Speaker 4: change his mind, maybe he'd find another farm where he 235 00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:28,360 Speaker 4: could feed their cattle. 236 00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:31,439 Speaker 3: But God's ways are not our ways. 237 00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:35,320 Speaker 4: There are set times where God is going to exceed 238 00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:40,200 Speaker 4: your expectations, where he is going to supersize your life. 239 00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:44,240 Speaker 4: And several major developers were interested in this farm. It 240 00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:47,360 Speaker 4: looked like it would sell quickly and maybe even turn 241 00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:50,280 Speaker 4: out to be a bidding war. But they found out 242 00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:53,840 Speaker 4: the property was in a floodplain. Even though it had 243 00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:57,080 Speaker 4: not flooded there in years and years, no bank would 244 00:13:57,120 --> 00:14:00,839 Speaker 4: give anyone a loan. This farmer didn't have any options, 245 00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:04,920 Speaker 4: so he sold the property to this man for hardly anything. 246 00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:09,360 Speaker 4: It has several tenants on it. Their rent not only 247 00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:14,000 Speaker 4: pays his monthly payment, but there's profit left over each month. 248 00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:17,040 Speaker 4: So instead of having to put his money out to 249 00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:21,360 Speaker 4: purchase the property, now they're actually paying him to take 250 00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:25,240 Speaker 4: the property. God can make things happen that you could 251 00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:29,240 Speaker 4: never make happen. One touch of his favor will put 252 00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:33,520 Speaker 4: you at another level. You may be thinking ordinary. God's 253 00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:36,760 Speaker 4: thinking overflow. You're thinking the way it's always been. 254 00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:38,440 Speaker 3: God is about to. 255 00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:40,680 Speaker 4: Exceed your expectations. 256 00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:44,400 Speaker 3: He's about to do a new thing like this man. 257 00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:47,960 Speaker 4: You're going to come into these running over blessings. You 258 00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:50,200 Speaker 4: didn't have anything to do with it. It's just the 259 00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:53,400 Speaker 4: favor of God. It's what the scripture talks about. How 260 00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:56,080 Speaker 4: you'll live in houses that you didn't have to build, 261 00:14:56,400 --> 00:14:59,560 Speaker 4: how you'll read from vineyards that you didn't plan. This 262 00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:02,240 Speaker 4: is what what happened in the scripture to a young. 263 00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:03,200 Speaker 3: Lady named Ruth. 264 00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:07,080 Speaker 4: Her husband was killed in a battle. She moved back 265 00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:09,800 Speaker 4: to her mother in law's hometown to help take care 266 00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:13,640 Speaker 4: of her. They barely had enough food to survive. She 267 00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:16,000 Speaker 4: would go out in the fields and pick up the 268 00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:20,400 Speaker 4: leftover wheat that the workers had missed. One day, the 269 00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:24,320 Speaker 4: owner of the field noticed Ruth. He told his workers 270 00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:29,240 Speaker 4: to leave handfuls of wheat on purpose for Ruth. Now 271 00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:32,040 Speaker 4: she didn't have to work nearly as hard. She could 272 00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:34,600 Speaker 4: gather up the wheat they needed in a fraction of 273 00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:38,280 Speaker 4: the time. When Ruth went out each morning, she was 274 00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:39,480 Speaker 4: expecting more. 275 00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:39,800 Speaker 3: Of the same. 276 00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:44,480 Speaker 4: She was grateful God was meeting their needs. But God 277 00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:48,400 Speaker 4: is full of surprises. Just when you think you've reached 278 00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:52,680 Speaker 4: your limits, God's been good to you. You're satisfied, God 279 00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:57,600 Speaker 4: has something bigger in mind. The owner of that field, Boaz, 280 00:15:57,920 --> 00:16:01,440 Speaker 4: was one of the wealthiest men in that He fell 281 00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:05,360 Speaker 4: in love with Ruth. They ended up getting married. Now, 282 00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:07,320 Speaker 4: instead of working in the field. 283 00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:08,360 Speaker 3: Ruth owned the field. 284 00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:13,960 Speaker 4: What happened, God supersized her life. This is especially important 285 00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:17,800 Speaker 4: because Ruth had gone through a lot of heartache and pain, 286 00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:22,600 Speaker 4: losing her husband at an early age. I'm sure she thought, Wow, 287 00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:25,800 Speaker 4: life's not fair, God, why did this happen to me? 288 00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:29,560 Speaker 4: Look like she had seen her best days. If she 289 00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:32,440 Speaker 4: would have heard this message, she could have said, Oh, Joel, 290 00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:36,040 Speaker 4: this sounds good, but God's not going to supersize my life. 291 00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:39,640 Speaker 4: I've been through too much. Things haven't turned out the 292 00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:44,240 Speaker 4: way I had planned. I'm content to just survive. You 293 00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:48,320 Speaker 4: may feel that way, but like Ruth, God hasn't forgotten 294 00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:52,880 Speaker 4: about you. He's seen the heartache you've endured. He's seen 295 00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:58,000 Speaker 4: the lonely nights, the unfair situations. You may have accepted it, 296 00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:01,840 Speaker 4: but God has not accepted it. He not only has 297 00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:05,720 Speaker 4: some handfuls on purpose for you, He has some boazes, 298 00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:10,040 Speaker 4: some explosive blessings that are going to make up for 299 00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:14,760 Speaker 4: the difficulties you've been through. God knows how to balance 300 00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:18,160 Speaker 4: the books. You may have taken a big hit over here, 301 00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:22,000 Speaker 4: a big loss will get ready for some big blessings. 302 00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:23,919 Speaker 3: God is a just God. 303 00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:27,800 Speaker 4: When he supercized is your life, You're going to be 304 00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:31,040 Speaker 4: so amazed at where you are. You don't even think 305 00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:34,359 Speaker 4: about where you've been. But many of you can say, 306 00:17:34,480 --> 00:17:38,200 Speaker 4: like me, that you're living a supercized life. God's been 307 00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:40,880 Speaker 4: good to you. You never dreamed you would be where 308 00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:43,720 Speaker 4: you are. But can I tell you you haven't seen 309 00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:47,720 Speaker 4: anything yet. You're on the runway about to take off. 310 00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:52,040 Speaker 4: You're just getting your engines revved up. Your rockets haven't 311 00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:56,720 Speaker 4: kicked in, your boosters haven't activated. God never performs his 312 00:17:56,800 --> 00:18:00,600 Speaker 4: greatest victories in your past. They're always in your future. 313 00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:03,760 Speaker 4: Why don't you get your hopes up? You may not 314 00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:06,919 Speaker 4: see how it can happen. Here's the whole key. You 315 00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:11,160 Speaker 4: can't see what God sees. You don't know what God knows. 316 00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:13,520 Speaker 4: Ruth could have said, it's not gonna happened to me. 317 00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:17,360 Speaker 4: I'm a widow taking care of another widow. We don't 318 00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:19,960 Speaker 4: have a job, we don't have any retirement, we don't 319 00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:20,840 Speaker 4: have any income. 320 00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:21,680 Speaker 3: We're done. 321 00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:26,080 Speaker 4: But what you don't have doesn't stop God. He is 322 00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:29,600 Speaker 4: not limited by what you think you're lacking. Well, I 323 00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:32,120 Speaker 4: don't have the resource I don't have the talent, the education, 324 00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:32,960 Speaker 4: the experience. 325 00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:36,520 Speaker 3: You may not, but God does. He has everything you. 326 00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:38,840 Speaker 4: Need to get you to where you're supposed to be. 327 00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:43,879 Speaker 4: All the odds were against Ruth. It looked like she 328 00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:47,639 Speaker 4: was done, but she came into those running over blessings. 329 00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:51,080 Speaker 4: She went from having barely enough to haven more than enough. 330 00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:55,960 Speaker 4: Here's how amazing God is. Ruth married Boaz. They had 331 00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:59,880 Speaker 4: a son named Obed. Obed had a son named Jesse 332 00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:03,720 Speaker 4: had a son named David. That means this young lady 333 00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:07,280 Speaker 4: that looked like her life was over, a widow barely 334 00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:11,000 Speaker 4: making it, God not only blessed her with abundance, but 335 00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:14,440 Speaker 4: she ended up in the family line of Jesus Christ. 336 00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:18,760 Speaker 4: God knows how to make more out of your life 337 00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:23,160 Speaker 4: than you've ever imagined. Quit making excuses. Quit thinking you've 338 00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:27,080 Speaker 4: reached your limits. God has something big come in your way. 339 00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:30,359 Speaker 4: What He's going to do in your future is like 340 00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:33,680 Speaker 4: nothing you've seen in your past. It's going to exceed 341 00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:37,640 Speaker 4: your expectations. It's going to be above and beyond what 342 00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:41,440 Speaker 4: you're thinking now. The real question is will you let 343 00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:45,639 Speaker 4: this seed take root? The scripture says Jesus couldn't do 344 00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:49,639 Speaker 4: any miracles in his hometown because of their unbelief. 345 00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:51,720 Speaker 3: It doesn't say he wouldn't. 346 00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:53,160 Speaker 4: Do it, It. 347 00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:53,480 Speaker 3: Says he couldn't do it. 348 00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:58,679 Speaker 4: I wonder how many times we're stopping God from supersizing 349 00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:02,520 Speaker 4: our life. We don't believe it will happen. We let 350 00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:06,560 Speaker 4: our circumstances, what we can see, what's happened in the past, 351 00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:09,679 Speaker 4: talk us out of it. Your mind may tell you 352 00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:12,360 Speaker 4: that you've reached your limits, you've gone as far as 353 00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:15,200 Speaker 4: you can go. But if you'll listen down in here, 354 00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:21,320 Speaker 4: you'll hear another voice saying, increase is coming, favor is coming, healing. 355 00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:22,919 Speaker 3: Is coming, promotion is coming. 356 00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:26,840 Speaker 4: That's why when you hear a message like this, something 357 00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:30,800 Speaker 4: comes alive on the inside. It's the seed that God 358 00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:34,600 Speaker 4: put in your spirit. When you live with this expectancy, 359 00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:38,240 Speaker 4: you go through the day saying, God, I believe you 360 00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:41,280 Speaker 4: can take me where I've never dreamed. I believe you 361 00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:44,679 Speaker 4: can do what medicine cannot do. God, I believe you 362 00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:48,960 Speaker 4: can supersize my life. That's when you'll see the surpassing 363 00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:53,960 Speaker 4: greatness of God's favor. Luke Chapter one, an angel appeared 364 00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:57,359 Speaker 4: to a teenage girl named Mary. He told her that 365 00:20:57,400 --> 00:20:59,840 Speaker 4: she was highly favored. She was going to have a 366 00:20:59,840 --> 00:21:04,200 Speaker 4: baby without knowing a man. Mary was kind of taken aback. 367 00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:08,439 Speaker 4: This seemed far out unusual. It had never happened before. 368 00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:12,560 Speaker 4: She asked the angel how could this be. He explained 369 00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:14,600 Speaker 4: how the spirit of the Lord would come on her 370 00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:19,280 Speaker 4: and she would conceive. Mary accepted it, She believed, but 371 00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:22,680 Speaker 4: I'm sure there were times that she started to doubt, 372 00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:24,600 Speaker 4: thinking is this really going to happen? 373 00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:26,879 Speaker 3: This seems too good to be true. 374 00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:32,120 Speaker 4: See, Mary didn't come from an influential family. She wasn't wealthy, 375 00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:35,679 Speaker 4: she didn't have an impressive resume. She was a poor 376 00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:38,640 Speaker 4: girl living in a low income neighborhood. 377 00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:41,640 Speaker 3: As she was doubting a little. 378 00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:45,639 Speaker 4: Bit confused, the Angel said to her in verse thirty, Mary, 379 00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:50,040 Speaker 4: don't be frightened. God has decided to bless you. 380 00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:53,000 Speaker 3: When you hear this promise. 381 00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:56,359 Speaker 4: That God is going to do exceedingly abundantly above and 382 00:21:56,400 --> 00:22:00,600 Speaker 4: beyond that, He's going to supersize your life in a way. 383 00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:02,600 Speaker 3: It's like what Mary heard. 384 00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:06,960 Speaker 4: It seems far out unusual, and it's easy to think 385 00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:09,480 Speaker 4: of all the reasons why it's not going to happen. 386 00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:13,119 Speaker 4: But if that angel were to show up, today, he 387 00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:15,800 Speaker 4: would say the same thing to you that he said 388 00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:20,120 Speaker 4: to Mary. God has decided to bless you. You may 389 00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:22,800 Speaker 4: not see how it can happen. You may not think 390 00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:26,520 Speaker 4: you deserve it. You've made too many mistakes, you're too young, 391 00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:30,200 Speaker 4: you're too old, you come from the wrong family. Instead 392 00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:34,680 Speaker 4: of dwelling on all that, why don't you say, by faith, God, 393 00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:38,960 Speaker 4: I want to thank you that you've decided to bless me. Lord, 394 00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:41,159 Speaker 4: thank you that you've decided to be good to me. 395 00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:43,040 Speaker 3: See, it's one thing. 396 00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:47,199 Speaker 4: When we decide we're going to take hold of God's promises. 397 00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:50,600 Speaker 4: We decide we're going to live a blessed, abundant life. 398 00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:55,600 Speaker 4: That's good, that's important. But when you realize the creator 399 00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:59,520 Speaker 4: of the universe, the God who spoke worlds into existence, 400 00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:03,800 Speaker 4: God who flung stars into space, he has decided to 401 00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:09,040 Speaker 4: bless you. He has decided to forgive you, He has decided. 402 00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:11,400 Speaker 3: To favor you. Here's the key. 403 00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:15,600 Speaker 4: God's idea of blessing you is very different than what 404 00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:20,359 Speaker 4: you think being blessed is. We think natural. God thinks supernatural. 405 00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:24,160 Speaker 4: We think, let me find another farm to put these 406 00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:27,720 Speaker 4: grass clippings. God thinks, how about I give you that farm? 407 00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:30,520 Speaker 4: And have them pay you instead of you paying them. 408 00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:35,159 Speaker 4: We think handfuls on purpose are a great blessing, and 409 00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:38,040 Speaker 4: they are. But God thinks, how about I give you 410 00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:40,320 Speaker 4: the whole field, so you own all the wheak to 411 00:23:40,359 --> 00:23:45,120 Speaker 4: begin with. We think practical terms signing a sixty year 412 00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:48,200 Speaker 4: lease with the City of Houston for the Compact Center 413 00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:52,120 Speaker 4: is pretty amazing, and it is. But God thinks, how 414 00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:54,400 Speaker 4: about I get rid of that lease so you can 415 00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:57,400 Speaker 4: have the building for generations to come like God did 416 00:23:57,440 --> 00:24:02,240 Speaker 4: for us. That's the running over God. The more than 417 00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:07,760 Speaker 4: enough God, the exceed your expectations God. A few days 418 00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:11,880 Speaker 4: after the angel appeared, Mary went to see her cousin Elizabeth. 419 00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:17,000 Speaker 4: Elizabeth said, Mary, you are blessed because you believed God 420 00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:21,119 Speaker 4: would do what he said. God decided to bless Mary. 421 00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:25,280 Speaker 4: But what activated the blessing, what allowed it to happen, 422 00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:29,040 Speaker 4: was she believed she would be blessed. If she'd have 423 00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:31,960 Speaker 4: gone around thinking, oh, this is impossible, it's never going 424 00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:32,480 Speaker 4: to happen. 425 00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:34,080 Speaker 3: I never get any good breaks. 426 00:24:34,119 --> 00:24:37,520 Speaker 4: Besides, I'm not even qualified, she could have talked herself 427 00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:41,960 Speaker 4: out of what God had already decided. When God says 428 00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:46,360 Speaker 4: he's going to do exceedingly abundantly above and beyond. When 429 00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:49,120 Speaker 4: he says, as for you and your house, you will 430 00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:52,080 Speaker 4: serve the Lord. When he says he's going to restore 431 00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:56,719 Speaker 4: health back into you, that means God has already decided it. 432 00:24:57,280 --> 00:24:57,440 Speaker 2: Now. 433 00:24:57,480 --> 00:25:01,040 Speaker 4: My challenge is don't talk to yourself out of what 434 00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:05,000 Speaker 4: God has already decided for you. Hey, you said, Joel, 435 00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:08,080 Speaker 4: this sounds good, but I'm seventy five years old. I 436 00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:12,160 Speaker 4: still hadn't been supersized. There's still time for you. Moses 437 00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:16,320 Speaker 4: was eighty when he started to deliver the Israelites. He 438 00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:20,240 Speaker 4: didn't see the Red Sea part those supernatural signs that 439 00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:24,520 Speaker 4: God showed the Pharaoh until much later in life. You 440 00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:27,879 Speaker 4: wouldn't be alive unless God had something amazing up in 441 00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:28,440 Speaker 4: front of you. 442 00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:30,560 Speaker 3: Well, I don't want to get. 443 00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:33,000 Speaker 4: My hopes up that way. If it doesn't happen, I 444 00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:36,840 Speaker 4: won't be disappointed. The problem with that approach is if 445 00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:39,840 Speaker 4: you don't get your hopes up, you will be disappointed. 446 00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:43,840 Speaker 4: You'll miss the exceeding greatness of God's favor that belongs 447 00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:47,480 Speaker 4: to you. I've seen this in my own life. God 448 00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:50,159 Speaker 4: has taken me from behind the scenes all those years 449 00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:52,600 Speaker 4: and brought gifts out of me that I didn't know 450 00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:54,440 Speaker 4: I had and put me in front of a. 451 00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:55,080 Speaker 3: Lot of people. 452 00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:58,439 Speaker 4: I can tell you first hand, God knows how to 453 00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:02,200 Speaker 4: supersize your life. It wasn't because I have all this talent, 454 00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:06,879 Speaker 4: experience ability. It's because I've done my best to honor 455 00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:10,840 Speaker 4: God and I've dared to believe what God has already 456 00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:13,680 Speaker 4: decided for me. When my dad went to be with 457 00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:17,200 Speaker 4: the Lord in nineteen ninety nine, I could hear God saying, Joel, 458 00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:20,560 Speaker 4: step up pastor the church. I didn't think I could 459 00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:24,239 Speaker 4: do it. Every voice said, you're making a mistake. But 460 00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:27,920 Speaker 4: deep down I knew that if God had decided it, 461 00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:30,880 Speaker 4: I wasn't going to go by what I felt, by 462 00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:33,600 Speaker 4: what I saw, by what people were telling me. I 463 00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:37,200 Speaker 4: simply chose to get in agreement with God to believe 464 00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:40,960 Speaker 4: what he had already decided for me. That's when God 465 00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:44,800 Speaker 4: will supersize your life. That's when he'll take you places 466 00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:49,200 Speaker 4: that you've never dreamed. Friends, God has already made his decision. 467 00:26:49,720 --> 00:26:53,760 Speaker 4: He's already decided to bless you, to forgive you, to 468 00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:57,359 Speaker 4: take you further than you can imagine. Now it's up 469 00:26:57,359 --> 00:27:02,080 Speaker 4: to you what you decide will whether or not it happens. 470 00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:05,359 Speaker 4: I'm asking you to take the limits off of God. 471 00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:09,680 Speaker 4: Quit making excuses. If you'll do this, I believe and 472 00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:13,800 Speaker 4: declare you're about to come in to those running over blessings. 473 00:27:14,119 --> 00:27:17,760 Speaker 4: God is going to supersize what you're believing. For you 474 00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:21,639 Speaker 4: may be expecting the ordinary like that blind man. God's 475 00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:24,200 Speaker 4: going to do something out of the ordinary. He's going 476 00:27:24,240 --> 00:27:29,040 Speaker 4: to exceed your expectations. In Jesus' name, if you receive it, 477 00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:33,000 Speaker 4: Can you say a man today? We never like to 478 00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:36,440 Speaker 4: close our broadcast without giving you an opportunity to make 479 00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:38,080 Speaker 4: Jesus the lord of your life. 480 00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:39,520 Speaker 3: Would you pray with me? 481 00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:45,560 Speaker 4: Just say, Lord, Jesus, I repent of my sins. Come 482 00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:50,800 Speaker 4: into my heart. I make you my Lord and savior.
