12
00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:32,440
Speaker 1: in today, and thank you again for coming out. I'd

13
00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:35,639
Speaker 1: like to start with something funny. Heard about this young man.

14
00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:38,880
Speaker 1: He was talking to God and he said, God, what's

15
00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:42,760
Speaker 1: a million years like to you? God said, son, a

16
00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:46,160
Speaker 1: million years to me is like one second to you.

17
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:49,760
Speaker 1: He said, well, God, what's a million dollars like to you?

18
00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:52,919
Speaker 1: He said, Son, a million dollars.

19
00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:54,680
Speaker 2: To me is like one penny to you.

20
00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:57,560
Speaker 1: Thought about it a moment, finally got his nerve up.

21
00:00:57,720 --> 00:01:01,440
Speaker 1: He said, God, would you give me a penny? God

22
00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:06,240
Speaker 1: said sure, just a second. Hold up your Bible, say

23
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:06,640
Speaker 1: it like.

24
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:07,120
Speaker 2: You mean it.

25
00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:10,760
Speaker 1: This is my Bible. I am what it says I am.

26
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:13,600
Speaker 1: I have what it says I have. I can do

27
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:16,200
Speaker 1: what it says I can do. Today I will be

28
00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:19,880
Speaker 1: taught the word of God. I boldly confess. My mind

29
00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:23,120
Speaker 1: is alert, my heart is receptive. I will never be

30
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:27,920
Speaker 1: the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you. I want

31
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:31,480
Speaker 1: to talk to you today about how a flood is coming.

32
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 1: Sometimes on the news, the weather person will announce that

33
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:40,360
Speaker 1: we're under a flash flood warning. That means conditions are

34
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:44,200
Speaker 1: right for possible flooding. Water could get out of its

35
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:48,800
Speaker 1: normal boundaries. It could overflow increase in such a way

36
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:54,240
Speaker 1: that drainage and byus are overwhelmed. Just like that weather person,

37
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:57,600
Speaker 1: I'm here to announce to you today you're under a

38
00:01:57,720 --> 00:01:59,360
Speaker 1: flash flood warning.

39
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:01,480
Speaker 2: Conditions are just right.

40
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 1: You've honored God, You've been faithful, You've passed the test.

41
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:10,079
Speaker 1: Now God is saying there's about to be a flood,

42
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:13,600
Speaker 1: but not with water. You're going to see a flood

43
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:19,040
Speaker 1: of my goodness, a flood of opportunity, a flood of healing,

44
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:23,480
Speaker 1: A flood of good breaks to where you're overwhelmed with

45
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:28,440
Speaker 1: God's favor it's beyond your expectations, puts you into overflow.

46
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 2: Now.

47
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:31,800
Speaker 1: You may have experienced a lot of negative things in

48
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:36,680
Speaker 1: the past, bad breaks, disappointments, heartache. It's easy to get

49
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:40,760
Speaker 1: discouraged and let that overwhelm you. The negative thoughts will

50
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:44,200
Speaker 1: tell you you'll never get well. You saw the medical report,

51
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:48,280
Speaker 1: You'll never rise any higher and accomplish your dreams.

52
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:51,160
Speaker 2: You've gone as far as you can go. Now you

53
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:53,239
Speaker 2: need to get ready. Things have shifted.

54
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:57,640
Speaker 1: You're about to come into this flash flood where suddenly

55
00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:01,480
Speaker 1: you meet the right person, qualify for that new home,

56
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:05,520
Speaker 1: you get accepted in that college, you're chosen as the

57
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:09,720
Speaker 1: lead role in that new program, your song hits the radio,

58
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:12,840
Speaker 1: and your career takes off. You're going to see the

59
00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:16,720
Speaker 1: surpassing greatness of God's favor. It's going to take you

60
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:21,080
Speaker 1: beyond your normal boundaries. It's going to supersede what the

61
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:25,880
Speaker 1: medical report says. It's going to supersede your talent, your education,

62
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:29,639
Speaker 1: your experience. It's going to thrust you to a level

63
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:32,240
Speaker 1: that you could have never gotten to on your own.

64
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 1: It's not going to be a little drizzle, a little sprinkle.

65
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:39,240
Speaker 1: It's going to be a flood of favor, a flood

66
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:42,720
Speaker 1: of talent, a flood of ideas, a flood of opportunity.

67
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:45,320
Speaker 1: Why don't you get this down in your spirit, A

68
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:49,560
Speaker 1: flood of God's goodness, you said, Joel, You're just trying

69
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:52,400
Speaker 1: to get people's hopes up. I don't believe I'm going

70
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 1: to see this flood. I don't believe that anything good's

71
00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:58,160
Speaker 1: going to happen to me just because you're saying this,

72
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:02,080
Speaker 1: then this is not for you. You. This is for believers.

73
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:07,520
Speaker 1: This is for people who know things have shifted in

74
00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:11,760
Speaker 1: their favor, people who know God can do exceedingly abundantly

75
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 1: above and beyond. This is for people who get up

76
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 1: in the morning and say, Father, thank you for a

77
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 1: flood of your favor. Today, Lord, thank you for a

78
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:24,120
Speaker 1: flood of wisdom, a flood of healing, a flood of

79
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:27,400
Speaker 1: your goodness in my life. This is what David did

80
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:32,240
Speaker 1: first Chronicles, chapter fourteen. He was facing an impossible situation.

81
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:35,599
Speaker 1: He and his men were up against a huge army,

82
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:40,160
Speaker 1: the Philistines. They were greatly outnumbered in the natural they

83
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:43,640
Speaker 1: didn't have a chance. But God gave David the promise

84
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:46,600
Speaker 1: that he would go with them and they would defeat

85
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:50,320
Speaker 1: this army, David went out and did just that. God

86
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:54,240
Speaker 1: gave them the victory. David was so overwhelmed with God's

87
00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:58,960
Speaker 1: goodness he tried to describe it. In verse eleven, he said,

88
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:02,520
Speaker 1: God has broken through to my enemies.

89
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:04,960
Speaker 2: Like the breaking fourth of water.

90
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:11,479
Speaker 1: One translation says like a raging flood. Notice David likened

91
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:15,080
Speaker 1: God's power to a flood. He was saying, when God

92
00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:18,400
Speaker 1: shows up, it's going to be like a flood of favor,

93
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:21,640
Speaker 1: a flood of strength, a flood of good breaks.

94
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:24,440
Speaker 2: Think about how powerful water is.

95
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:27,279
Speaker 1: Three or four feet of water can pick up a

96
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:29,760
Speaker 1: car that weighs thousands of pounds and.

97
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:30,720
Speaker 2: Move it all around.

98
00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:34,960
Speaker 1: You've seen on these news reports during a huge flood,

99
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:39,359
Speaker 1: whole houses being swept away. Nothing can stop the force

100
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:42,840
Speaker 1: of that water. In the same way, you may have

101
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:48,599
Speaker 1: obstacles that look insurmountable, dreams that look unattainable. Let me

102
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:52,600
Speaker 1: encourage you, when God releases a flood of his power,

103
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:56,839
Speaker 1: nothing will be able to stop you. That sickness may

104
00:05:56,880 --> 00:06:00,719
Speaker 1: look big, but when God releases a flood of healing,

105
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:05,919
Speaker 1: it doesn't stand a chance. Your opposition may be stronger,

106
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:10,960
Speaker 1: better financed, better equipped, But when God opens up the floodgates,

107
00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:12,600
Speaker 1: there'll be no match for you.

108
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:14,680
Speaker 2: Or how about in your dreams.

109
00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:16,720
Speaker 1: You may not have the connections, you don't know the

110
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:17,799
Speaker 1: right people, you don't.

111
00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:18,360
Speaker 2: Have the funding.

112
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:23,440
Speaker 1: But when God releases a flood of favor, people will

113
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:26,240
Speaker 1: come out of the woodwork to help you out. You

114
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:29,240
Speaker 1: won't have to look for them good breaks, opportunity.

115
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:31,240
Speaker 2: The right people will search you out.

116
00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:35,240
Speaker 1: You need to get ready, not for a trickle, not

117
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:39,480
Speaker 1: a stream, not a river, but a flood of God's favor,

118
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:44,400
Speaker 1: a tidal wave of God's goodness, a tsunami of his increase.

119
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:47,680
Speaker 1: God is going to take you to a level that

120
00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:52,039
Speaker 1: you've never been before. It's going to be unprecedented. You're

121
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:55,320
Speaker 1: going to go further quicker than you ever dreamed of.

122
00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:59,400
Speaker 1: Exodus thirty four to ten talks about it. God said,

123
00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:02,839
Speaker 1: I'm going to do great things that I have never

124
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:05,360
Speaker 1: done before anywhere on earth.

125
00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:07,040
Speaker 2: People will see.

126
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:09,720
Speaker 1: What great things I can do because I'm going to

127
00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:14,040
Speaker 1: do something awesome for you. Now, when God uses the

128
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:17,440
Speaker 1: word awesome, he's not talking about a trickle, a stream,

129
00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:21,640
Speaker 1: a river. He's talking about a flood of favor, a

130
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:25,240
Speaker 1: flood of ideas, a flood of healing. It may not

131
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:28,800
Speaker 1: look like it in the natural right now, but remember

132
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:33,960
Speaker 1: you're under a flash flood warning. Any moment the heavens

133
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:37,360
Speaker 1: could open up. Any moment you could meet the right person.

134
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:42,240
Speaker 1: Any moment God could do something awesome, something that you've

135
00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:46,040
Speaker 1: never seen before in your life. Now the real question

136
00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:50,440
Speaker 1: is will you let this seed take root? Every voice

137
00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:52,840
Speaker 1: will tell you why this is not for you. And

138
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:54,760
Speaker 1: I just flipping through the channels.

139
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:55,560
Speaker 2: Turn this guy on.

140
00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:57,360
Speaker 1: I don't even know who he is. He's not talking

141
00:07:57,360 --> 00:08:00,400
Speaker 1: to me. I didn't even really plan on coming today, Joe.

142
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:01,120
Speaker 2: I just showed up.

143
00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:05,200
Speaker 1: Now, God has you here at the right place, at

144
00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:10,000
Speaker 1: the right time, because he wants to do something amazing

145
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:13,680
Speaker 1: in your life. You got to get an agreement and say, God,

146
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:18,360
Speaker 1: this is for me today. I'm raising my expectations. I'm

147
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:25,040
Speaker 1: shaking off doubt, negativity, disappointments, self pity, little dreams, little goals. God,

148
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:27,760
Speaker 1: I'm gonna make room for a flood of your goodness.

149
00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:30,680
Speaker 1: I met a lady a couple of years ago after

150
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:33,600
Speaker 1: the service, and she was in town for treatment at

151
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:36,920
Speaker 1: m D. Anderson Or Cancer Hospital, and she was.

152
00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:38,400
Speaker 2: Going to have a tumor removed.

153
00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:41,520
Speaker 1: And then she's going to have to take chemotherapy, and

154
00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:45,280
Speaker 1: all of her medical records, blood work x rays were

155
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 1: shipped from her hospital back at home. The doctor she

156
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:52,600
Speaker 1: was using here wanted her to retake all the test

157
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:55,600
Speaker 1: and redo all the x rays, just to double check

158
00:08:55,640 --> 00:09:00,439
Speaker 1: and verify everything. She was already scheduled for surgery when

159
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:01,680
Speaker 1: the doctor called her in.

160
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:04,200
Speaker 2: He couldn't find the tumor anymore.

161
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:07,960
Speaker 1: Was very clear on one X ray, but on this

162
00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:11,480
Speaker 1: new one couldn't see anything. He said, I've been doing

163
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:13,160
Speaker 1: this for twenty six years.

164
00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:17,200
Speaker 2: I have never seen anything like this before. What was that?

165
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:21,760
Speaker 2: A flood of healing, a flood of restoration. Friends, God

166
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:22,440
Speaker 2: can do.

167
00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:27,560
Speaker 1: What medicine cannot do. God made your body. He has

168
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:30,720
Speaker 1: you in the palm of his hand. The good news

169
00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:34,439
Speaker 1: is God has the final say. He said, the number

170
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:35,880
Speaker 1: of your days.

171
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:36,640
Speaker 2: I will fulfill.

172
00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:40,800
Speaker 1: That means sickness doesn't determine how long you're going to live.

173
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:44,800
Speaker 1: God does nothing can snatch you out of his hand.

174
00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:47,520
Speaker 2: If it's not your time to go, then you're not

175
00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:48,080
Speaker 2: going to go.

176
00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:52,480
Speaker 1: You may be facing a major illness doesn't look good

177
00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:56,280
Speaker 1: in the natural, but you're under a flash flood warning

178
00:09:56,760 --> 00:09:58,840
Speaker 1: any moment you can see a flood of healing.

179
00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:01,920
Speaker 2: God could turn that around.

180
00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:06,439
Speaker 1: Isaiah said, when the enemy comes in like a flood,

181
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:07,880
Speaker 1: the spirit.

182
00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:09,400
Speaker 2: Of God will raise up a barrier.

183
00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:22,400
Speaker 1: Several commentaries believe that the comma was misplaced during translation.

184
00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:26,000
Speaker 1: Instead of reading when the enemy comes in like a

185
00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:30,079
Speaker 1: flood comma, they believe the comma should have been placed

186
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:34,080
Speaker 1: after the word end. It would say when the enemy

187
00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:38,240
Speaker 1: comes in like a flood, God's spirit will raise up

188
00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:42,520
Speaker 1: a barrier. In other words, the emphasis on the flood

189
00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:47,120
Speaker 1: is on God's power and not the enemies. I've learned

190
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:52,600
Speaker 1: when the enemy attacks, God reacts. God doesn't just sit back. Well,

191
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:54,760
Speaker 1: I wonder what's gonna happen. Wonder what they're gonna do. Now,

192
00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:58,800
Speaker 1: God goes to work. You are his most prized possession,

193
00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:02,760
Speaker 1: it says Psalms. God is close to those that are hurting.

194
00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:06,840
Speaker 1: God is close to the broken hearted. God knows when

195
00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:10,240
Speaker 1: you've got a bad medical report, knows when you're struggling

196
00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:13,960
Speaker 1: in your finances. He knows when you're being mistreated. You

197
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:17,120
Speaker 1: may not see anything happening, but you can be assured.

198
00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:19,120
Speaker 2: Almighty God not only.

199
00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:22,560
Speaker 1: Is aware, but he is at work. He already has

200
00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:25,760
Speaker 1: the solution. If you will stay in faith at the

201
00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:28,840
Speaker 1: right time, he will release a flood of his power,

202
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:32,960
Speaker 1: a flood of healing, a flood of restoration. He'll not

203
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:35,520
Speaker 1: only bring you out, he'll bring you out better off

204
00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:38,840
Speaker 1: than you were before. But one of the keys is

205
00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:41,400
Speaker 1: we have to keep the right perspective. It's easy to

206
00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:44,600
Speaker 1: focus on how big the problem is and never going

207
00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:45,160
Speaker 1: to get well.

208
00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:46,400
Speaker 2: Joel, it's impossible.

209
00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:49,840
Speaker 1: I'm never going to get out of debt, this setback,

210
00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:53,520
Speaker 1: this loss of income, this unexpected bill, it's going to

211
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:57,920
Speaker 1: be the end of me. Now, that problem may feel overwhelming,

212
00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:01,720
Speaker 1: but it is not The flood. The debt, the sickness,

213
00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:06,120
Speaker 1: the opposition is like a trickle water barely even flowing.

214
00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:11,720
Speaker 1: But God's power, the promotion, the healing, the breakthrough, the restoration,

215
00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:16,040
Speaker 1: is like a flood. That's the tidal wave that's headed

216
00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:19,520
Speaker 1: towards you. It's just a matter of time before it

217
00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:23,880
Speaker 1: shows up, and when it does, it won't be any contest.

218
00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:28,240
Speaker 1: It's like a drop of water compared to the whole ocean. Now,

219
00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:31,080
Speaker 1: all through the day, when you're tempted to worry, tempt

220
00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:34,200
Speaker 1: to be frustrated, switch over into faith.

221
00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:37,480
Speaker 2: Lord, Thank you for a flood of your favor.

222
00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:40,040
Speaker 1: God, I know you've got me in the palm of

223
00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:42,200
Speaker 1: your hand, and Lord, I just want to thank it

224
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:45,920
Speaker 1: in advance that you're releasing a flood of your power

225
00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:47,520
Speaker 1: that will suddenly.

226
00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:51,360
Speaker 2: Turn this around. That's what David did Psalm one twelve.

227
00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:56,840
Speaker 1: When darkness overtakes the godly light will come bursting in.

228
00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:00,400
Speaker 1: Notice it's not going to trickle in. I'm going to

229
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:03,840
Speaker 1: just barely get there. No, like a flood, like the

230
00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:05,679
Speaker 1: breaking forth of waters.

231
00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:07,320
Speaker 2: It's going to come bursting in.

232
00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:12,520
Speaker 1: That simply means suddenly you're gonna get well, Suddenly you

233
00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:15,640
Speaker 1: meet the right person, Suddenly you're able to pay your

234
00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:16,120
Speaker 1: house off.

235
00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:18,080
Speaker 2: Our attitude should be.

236
00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:21,920
Speaker 1: My child may be off course, making poor decisions, but

237
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:25,880
Speaker 1: I'm expecting a flood of God's mercy to bring him back.

238
00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:28,600
Speaker 1: Or my house may have been on the market for

239
00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:32,080
Speaker 1: a year still hasn't sold, but I'm expecting a flood

240
00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:34,640
Speaker 1: of favor to cause it to stand out and sell.

241
00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:38,360
Speaker 1: Business may be slow, but I'm expecting a flood of

242
00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:41,680
Speaker 1: new clients, a flood of sales, a flood of promotion.

243
00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:46,199
Speaker 1: In the midst of that difficulty. Don't get discouraged. Your

244
00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:51,680
Speaker 1: inprime position to see a flood of God's goodness. Lady

245
00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:53,280
Speaker 1: came up to me a while back, and she was

246
00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:57,160
Speaker 1: very excited. She had a family member that needed a

247
00:13:57,320 --> 00:14:01,120
Speaker 1: series of surgeries. It was vital for this person to

248
00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:04,080
Speaker 1: live a productive life, but it was going to cost

249
00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:08,480
Speaker 1: four hundred thousand dollars. It wasn't covered by their insurance.

250
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:12,920
Speaker 1: This family didn't have that kind of extra money. This lady,

251
00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:16,880
Speaker 1: month after month, she kept praying, believe it. She didn't

252
00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:19,760
Speaker 1: focus on the size of her problem. She focused on

253
00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:22,840
Speaker 1: the size of her God. She didn't need a trickle,

254
00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:27,120
Speaker 1: a stream, a river. She needed a flood of God's goodness.

255
00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:31,640
Speaker 1: One day, her employer called her in. She'd worked for

256
00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:34,960
Speaker 1: this company for over thirty years. She didn't even know

257
00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:38,360
Speaker 1: they knew about the problem. But they said, you've been

258
00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:41,320
Speaker 1: so good to us, so faithful to this company. We've

259
00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:45,240
Speaker 1: decided that we are going to underwrite the series of

260
00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:48,840
Speaker 1: surgeries for your family member four hundred thousand dollars.

261
00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:49,880
Speaker 2: What was that?

262
00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:55,520
Speaker 1: A tidal wave of God's goodness, like a flood, God's

263
00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:59,160
Speaker 1: favor overtook her. Well, hey, you said, Joel, That never

264
00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:01,800
Speaker 1: happened for me. I never get any good breaks four

265
00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:04,920
Speaker 1: hundred thousand dollars. My boss doesn't even like me. Listen,

266
00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:09,440
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter who likes you or who doesn't like you.

267
00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:13,920
Speaker 1: The main thing is Almighty God likes you. He's accepted you,

268
00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:19,160
Speaker 1: He's approved you. He's already surrounded you with his favor

269
00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:22,800
Speaker 1: like a shield. Promotion doesn't come from people, It comes

270
00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:27,120
Speaker 1: from God. If you'll be bold enough to believe, God

271
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:32,200
Speaker 1: has tidal waves of blessings, he has floods of favor

272
00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:35,520
Speaker 1: in your future. That's what happened to one of our

273
00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:39,240
Speaker 1: staff members. Craig and his wife Samantha have a nine

274
00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:43,560
Speaker 1: year old son named Connor. Connor's a very handsome, fun

275
00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:44,240
Speaker 1: young man.

276
00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:45,600
Speaker 2: He has autism.

277
00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:49,400
Speaker 1: When he was five years old, he had never spoken

278
00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:53,160
Speaker 1: a full paragraph before. In fact, he didn't really speak

279
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:56,360
Speaker 1: incomplete sentences. He would speak a phrase or two here

280
00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:59,320
Speaker 1: or there, maybe two or three words together, but not

281
00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:03,960
Speaker 1: much more than that. Day after day, Craig, Samantha, the

282
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:07,680
Speaker 1: other children, they would speak faith over Connor, telling him

283
00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:10,320
Speaker 1: you can do all things through Christ. You are more

284
00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:13,040
Speaker 1: than a conquer They were expecting a.

285
00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:14,280
Speaker 2: Flood of God's favor.

286
00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:18,760
Speaker 1: Every night before bedtime, either Craig or Samantha would go

287
00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:20,920
Speaker 1: up and read a couple of books with Connor and

288
00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:24,080
Speaker 1: pray together, and then put him to bed. One night,

289
00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:27,240
Speaker 1: Samantha had just finished reading and praying and was about

290
00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:28,000
Speaker 1: to leave the room.

291
00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:30,800
Speaker 2: She heard Connor start to speak.

292
00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:34,800
Speaker 1: She listened carefully, and he was speaking so clearly and

293
00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:38,960
Speaker 1: so fluently. She ran and got the video camera and

294
00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:43,480
Speaker 1: recorded the first full paragraph that Connor had ever spoken.

295
00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:47,000
Speaker 2: He was saying, this is my Bible. I am what

296
00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:49,520
Speaker 2: it says, I am. I have what it says I have.

297
00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:52,480
Speaker 2: He quoted word for.

298
00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:55,560
Speaker 1: Word that confession we make at the start of every service.

299
00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:57,880
Speaker 2: What was that? Like a flood?

300
00:16:58,400 --> 00:17:02,560
Speaker 1: God's favor overtook Connor. Craig told me how they would

301
00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:06,399
Speaker 1: take DVDs of my messages home every week, and Connor

302
00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:10,840
Speaker 1: would watch them again and again. When he turned on cartoons.

303
00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:13,840
Speaker 1: He'd normally only watched five or ten minutes, but he'd

304
00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:18,040
Speaker 1: watched my whole thirty minute message over and over. I

305
00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:22,040
Speaker 1: told Craig, when a five year old chooses me over Barney,

306
00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:23,480
Speaker 1: that makes me feel really good.

307
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:27,000
Speaker 2: But Connor still has a way to go.

308
00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:31,240
Speaker 1: But we know what God started he will finish. Friends,

309
00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:35,679
Speaker 1: God wants to release a flood of his power, not

310
00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:38,600
Speaker 1: a trickle, not a stream, not a river, but a

311
00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:42,800
Speaker 1: flood of increase, a flood of healing, a flood of ideas.

312
00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:47,400
Speaker 1: Some of you are believing too small. You've settled where

313
00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:49,920
Speaker 1: you are, thinking that you've reached your limits.

314
00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:51,360
Speaker 2: Your child could.

315
00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:54,280
Speaker 1: Never get better, and you could never overcome that obstacle.

316
00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:56,000
Speaker 2: No, you need to get ready.

317
00:17:56,320 --> 00:17:59,760
Speaker 1: I can see something in your future through my eyes

318
00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:03,119
Speaker 1: of faith. I can see a tidle wave come in

319
00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:06,720
Speaker 1: your way. It's not a wave of defeat, a wave

320
00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:09,440
Speaker 1: of bad breaks, a wave of more of the same.

321
00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:10,520
Speaker 2: Now things have shifted.

322
00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:14,399
Speaker 1: It's a wave of increase, a wave of favor, a

323
00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:19,080
Speaker 1: wave of healing. It's God releasing his goodness like a flood.

324
00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:22,680
Speaker 1: It's going to help you to overcome that obstacle. It's

325
00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:25,120
Speaker 1: going to cause you to accomplish your dreams.

326
00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:29,359
Speaker 2: Why don't you dare to believe? If you think.

327
00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:32,800
Speaker 1: Trickle, you're going to receive trickle. If you think the

328
00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:35,960
Speaker 1: problem's too big, it's going to keep you defeated. But

329
00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:38,760
Speaker 1: if you could just switch over into faith and start

330
00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:40,600
Speaker 1: thinking flood, then.

331
00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:41,800
Speaker 2: God could show you a flood.

332
00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:45,600
Speaker 1: If you'll think overflow, God can bring you into overflow.

333
00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:49,480
Speaker 1: If you'll dare to think tidle wave, then God can

334
00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:53,760
Speaker 1: release a tidle wave of his goodness in your life.

335
00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:56,080
Speaker 1: A few years ago, we were at dinner at a

336
00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:59,440
Speaker 1: restaurant and our son Jonathan was with us. He's seventeen

337
00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:02,400
Speaker 1: years old now, and he's about eleven or twelve at

338
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:05,320
Speaker 1: the time. And when we went to order, Jonathan told

339
00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:08,399
Speaker 1: the waiter, I'd like a steak. The waiter asked, do

340
00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:11,600
Speaker 1: you want a six ounce, a ten ounce or a

341
00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:16,040
Speaker 1: fourteen ounce. Jonathan did not think twice. He didn't look

342
00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:18,560
Speaker 1: at the menu to check the price. He didn't ask

343
00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:21,520
Speaker 1: me if it's okay. He immediately said, I'll take the

344
00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:25,639
Speaker 1: fourteen ounce. When it comes to food, Jonathan is not

345
00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:28,119
Speaker 1: expecting a trickle, a stream.

346
00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:29,320
Speaker 2: A river, but a flood.

347
00:19:30,040 --> 00:19:33,760
Speaker 1: Jonathan not only has a big appetite, but he knows

348
00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:37,480
Speaker 1: who his father is. He knows I want to be

349
00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:40,240
Speaker 1: good to him. That's the way we need to be

350
00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:44,960
Speaker 1: with our heavenly Father. Don't have a small minded mentality,

351
00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:49,480
Speaker 1: don't have a narrow limited vision. Too many people think

352
00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:53,359
Speaker 1: that they're bothering God. They shouldn't expect too much God.

353
00:19:53,400 --> 00:19:56,040
Speaker 1: I'm not expecting to get out of this problem, if

354
00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:58,800
Speaker 1: you could just help me endure it. God, I don't

355
00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:01,880
Speaker 1: think i'll ever meet anybody great and fall in love

356
00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:03,800
Speaker 1: and get married if you can just help me God,

357
00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:07,320
Speaker 1: not to be too lonely in life. No, you're thinking

358
00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:09,439
Speaker 1: trickle when God has a flood.

359
00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:13,080
Speaker 2: You're thinking barely get by when God has abundance.

360
00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:18,000
Speaker 1: You're thinking six ounce when God has fourteen ounce. If

361
00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:21,760
Speaker 1: you'll believe bigger, God will act bigger. You got to

362
00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:25,479
Speaker 1: do like Jonathan, step up to the plate and say, God,

363
00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:29,480
Speaker 1: I know you control the whole universe, Yet I'm the

364
00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:32,879
Speaker 1: apple of your eye. I'm your most prized possession.

365
00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:35,960
Speaker 2: God. You said you're longing to be good to me.

366
00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:38,479
Speaker 1: So Lord, I just want to thank you for a

367
00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:42,200
Speaker 1: flood of your favor in my life. When you release

368
00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:44,879
Speaker 1: your faith in a big way like that, in a

369
00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:49,119
Speaker 1: fourteen ounce prase, God doesn't look down, think what are

370
00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:52,320
Speaker 1: they talking about? Who do they think they are? They

371
00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:54,840
Speaker 1: don't deserve it. The nerve of those people. Now that

372
00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:58,199
Speaker 1: brings a smile to God's face. He says, I'm going

373
00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:01,560
Speaker 1: to open the windows of heaven and pour out not

374
00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:04,320
Speaker 1: a stream, not a trickle, not a river, but a

375
00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:06,480
Speaker 1: flood of my favor, a flood.

376
00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:09,000
Speaker 2: Of my goodness, a flood of my mercy.

377
00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:12,480
Speaker 1: Isaiah said, the spirit of the Lord is upon me

378
00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:16,760
Speaker 1: to announce a day when the free favor of God

379
00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:23,639
Speaker 1: profusely abounds. Notice the word he used to describe God's favor, profusely.

380
00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:29,080
Speaker 1: That means overwhelming, out of the norm, exceeding. He was

381
00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:33,560
Speaker 1: talking about this flood of favor. At that time, the

382
00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:37,639
Speaker 1: people were in a drought, no water. Isaiah came along

383
00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:41,600
Speaker 1: with this great news. A shift has come. The drought

384
00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:44,600
Speaker 1: is coming to an end. The favor is coming like

385
00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:47,880
Speaker 1: a flood. But I'm sure there were some people that thought,

386
00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:49,439
Speaker 1: what's Isaiah talking about.

387
00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:52,399
Speaker 2: Nothing's happening. There's not a cloud in the sky.

388
00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:55,399
Speaker 1: It's just as clear and blue and dry and hot

389
00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:58,920
Speaker 1: as it was the last three months. They missed their

390
00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:03,800
Speaker 1: opportunity to see the free favor of God profusely abound.

391
00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:05,399
Speaker 2: Don't let that be you.

392
00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:11,040
Speaker 1: Like Isaiah, I've announced today a flood of God's power

393
00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:13,600
Speaker 1: is coming, favor like you've.

394
00:22:13,440 --> 00:22:15,880
Speaker 2: Never seen before. Instead of being.

395
00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:19,440
Speaker 1: Overwhelmed by burdens, You're going to be overwhelmed.

396
00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:19,919
Speaker 2: By God's blessings.

397
00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:23,800
Speaker 1: But the real key is can you receive this into

398
00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:27,040
Speaker 1: your spirit. It's easy to think this is not for me. Joel,

399
00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:30,280
Speaker 1: I don't see anything different happening. I tried before and

400
00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:33,320
Speaker 1: it didn't work out. I've been through too much. That

401
00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:34,960
Speaker 1: kind of negative thinking.

402
00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:35,800
Speaker 2: Will stop the flood.

403
00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:40,000
Speaker 1: God works where there's an attitude of faith, when you

404
00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:45,040
Speaker 1: believe all things are possible. The enemy cannot stop this flood.

405
00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:48,840
Speaker 1: He doesn't have that much power. Other people cannot stop it.

406
00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:52,760
Speaker 1: The only one that can stop it is you.

407
00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:57,280
Speaker 2: You control your own destiny. God is for you, the

408
00:22:57,480 --> 00:22:59,120
Speaker 2: enemy is against you.

409
00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:02,720
Speaker 1: You get to cast the deciding vote. I'm asking you

410
00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:05,840
Speaker 1: to take the limits off of God. He wants to

411
00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:09,679
Speaker 1: do something new, something amazing in your life. But the

412
00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:13,560
Speaker 1: real battle has taking place in our thought life. Those

413
00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:16,560
Speaker 1: thoughts that say it's not going to happen. You're too old,

414
00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:20,120
Speaker 1: He've made too many mistakes. You'll never get well, you'll

415
00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:23,719
Speaker 1: never accomplish your dreams. No, this is the day that

416
00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:28,080
Speaker 1: you're going to see the free favor of God profusely abound.

417
00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:32,320
Speaker 1: God has floods of blessings in your future. He has

418
00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:36,040
Speaker 1: tidal waves of increase and joy and healing and mercy.

419
00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:40,399
Speaker 1: Make room for this flood get an agreement with God.

420
00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:45,280
Speaker 1: Paul prayed in Ephesians that the eyes of our understanding

421
00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:49,080
Speaker 1: would be flooded with light so that we would know

422
00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:52,880
Speaker 1: the amazing future God has in store. And it's interesting

423
00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:57,080
Speaker 1: that Paul used that phrase flooded with light. See, Paul

424
00:23:57,119 --> 00:24:01,119
Speaker 1: had experienced a portion of this flood. But we're living

425
00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:04,400
Speaker 1: in a better day than Paul. This is the day

426
00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:08,359
Speaker 1: where Paul declared we would see the surpassing greatness of

427
00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:13,320
Speaker 1: God's favor. Paul was saying, in effect, I've seen one

428
00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:17,080
Speaker 1: level of God's goodness, but the day we're in we

429
00:24:17,119 --> 00:24:19,720
Speaker 1: would see God's goodness like no.

430
00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:21,639
Speaker 2: Generation has seen it before.

431
00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:25,320
Speaker 1: And I can tell you firsthand, Victoria and I have

432
00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:29,439
Speaker 1: experienced this flood of God's favor. God has overwhelmed us

433
00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:32,320
Speaker 1: with his goodness. I'm not bragging on us, I'm bragging

434
00:24:32,359 --> 00:24:36,280
Speaker 1: on God. God has taken us beyond our education, beyond

435
00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:40,720
Speaker 1: our talent, beyond our training, and He's unleashed his abundance,

436
00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:43,720
Speaker 1: his wisdom, his favor in our lives. I was thinking

437
00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:46,400
Speaker 1: about a couple of main keys. You've got to keep

438
00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:50,959
Speaker 1: God first place in your life. Honor God, deal with

439
00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:54,600
Speaker 1: the issues that he's bringing to light, Stay open and

440
00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:58,200
Speaker 1: be willing to always change. We don't have to be perfect.

441
00:24:58,600 --> 00:25:01,000
Speaker 1: We all have flaws and weak and says. But we

442
00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:03,960
Speaker 1: should be growing. We should be making.

443
00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:05,040
Speaker 2: Progress, improving.

444
00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:09,000
Speaker 1: The second thing We've learned to take the limits off

445
00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:12,679
Speaker 1: of God. Like Jonathan, we ask for the fourteen ounce.

446
00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:17,359
Speaker 1: We believe big, We pray bold prayers, and we live

447
00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:21,880
Speaker 1: with this expectancy that God has floods of favor, floods

448
00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:26,760
Speaker 1: of wisdom, floods of goodness in our future. My prayer

449
00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:30,680
Speaker 1: for you today is that the eyes of your understanding

450
00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:33,920
Speaker 1: would be flooded with light, that you would know how

451
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:37,639
Speaker 1: much God loves you, how much He's for you, what

452
00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:41,959
Speaker 1: an amazing future he has in store. My prayer is

453
00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:44,879
Speaker 1: that faith would fill your hearts, that you would raise

454
00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:48,240
Speaker 1: your level of expectancy, and that you would see God's

455
00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:52,920
Speaker 1: goodness like never before. Like Isaiah, I've announced to you

456
00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:55,560
Speaker 1: you're under a flash flood warning.

457
00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:57,240
Speaker 2: Now you need to get ready.

458
00:25:57,480 --> 00:26:01,280
Speaker 1: You're about to see the favor of God God profusely

459
00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:05,800
Speaker 1: abound in your life because you've honored God, because you

460
00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:09,280
Speaker 1: have been faithful and given and served and been good

461
00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:14,119
Speaker 1: to others. I believe things have shifted in your favor. Suddenly,

462
00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:16,760
Speaker 1: dreams are going to come to pass. You're going to

463
00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:19,680
Speaker 1: see the surpassing greatness.

464
00:26:19,080 --> 00:26:20,159
Speaker 2: Of God's goodness.

465
00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:23,560
Speaker 1: Now my encouragement, get up every morning and say Father,

466
00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:27,160
Speaker 1: thank you for this flood of favor in my life.

467
00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:30,959
