A lady that had been out 98 00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:04,960 Speaker 6: of work for over a year. She worked as an 99 00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:11,520 Speaker 6: executive in sales, very successful after many years, unexpectedly her 100 00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:13,200 Speaker 6: contract was not renewed. 101 00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:16,240 Speaker 5: She had an impressive resume and. 102 00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:18,680 Speaker 6: She applied at a couple dozen companies, but no one 103 00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:19,520 Speaker 6: was interested. 104 00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:21,800 Speaker 5: She was turned down again and again. 105 00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:26,000 Speaker 6: Several months later, a company called and asked her to 106 00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:28,960 Speaker 6: come in for an interview, and she was excited and 107 00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:32,480 Speaker 6: looked like something had finally opened up and the interview 108 00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:35,360 Speaker 6: went well. She thought she had it, but they called 109 00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:37,720 Speaker 6: back and said she just wasn't the right fit. 110 00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:40,320 Speaker 5: This happened four more times. 111 00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:43,240 Speaker 6: Where she went in and interviewed, looked like she was 112 00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:44,040 Speaker 6: the front runner. 113 00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:47,599 Speaker 5: Then she was told no, one no. After another. 114 00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:51,800 Speaker 6: A few months later, a company from out of state called. 115 00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:55,960 Speaker 6: They were very interested. It was between her and another man, 116 00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:59,480 Speaker 6: and she flew to that city for an interview. On 117 00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:02,839 Speaker 6: the way to the office, the taxi cab driver struck 118 00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:06,520 Speaker 6: up a conversation. She was very friendly and told how 119 00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:09,600 Speaker 6: she was there to go on a job interview and 120 00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:12,480 Speaker 6: how she'd been praying and believing that something would open up, 121 00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:14,880 Speaker 6: and out of all the offers, this. 122 00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:16,760 Speaker 5: Was the one she wanted the very most. 123 00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:19,479 Speaker 6: He dropped her off and told her that he was 124 00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:22,160 Speaker 6: pulling for that he believed that she was going to 125 00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:26,640 Speaker 6: get it. Later that day, the lady that interviewed her 126 00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:30,240 Speaker 6: had to catch a plane. It just so happened this 127 00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:33,480 Speaker 6: same man came back to the office and picked her 128 00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:36,520 Speaker 6: up when she called for a taxi. Being the friendly 129 00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:39,520 Speaker 6: taxi cab driver that he was, he asked her how 130 00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:42,920 Speaker 6: her day was going. She explained how she had been 131 00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:46,919 Speaker 6: interviewing two people, a man and a woman, and couldn't 132 00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:51,080 Speaker 6: decide between the two. The taxi cab driver said, let 133 00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:52,520 Speaker 6: me tell you who you should pick. 134 00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:54,680 Speaker 5: She said, what do you mean? 135 00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:57,520 Speaker 6: He said, I picked up that lady you interviewed and 136 00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:01,279 Speaker 6: brought her this morning, and you won't fire a better person. 137 00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:04,320 Speaker 6: She's smart, she's talented, she's articulate. 138 00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:06,200 Speaker 5: Plus she wants to work for you. 139 00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:09,880 Speaker 6: He went on and on, singing her praises. The lady said, 140 00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:13,040 Speaker 6: you know what, I just made my decision. When she 141 00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:15,880 Speaker 6: called the lady in the other state and told her 142 00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:18,800 Speaker 6: that she got the position, she said, if you ever 143 00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:22,120 Speaker 6: see that taxicab driver again, you need to thank him, 144 00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:25,760 Speaker 6: because he's the reason I chose you. What are the 145 00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:30,080 Speaker 6: chances in a large city that the same taxicab driver 146 00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:34,360 Speaker 6: would pick up both ladies. That wasn't a coincidence. 147 00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:35,800 Speaker 5: That was the hand of God. 148 00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:39,400 Speaker 6: In this year of Yes, God is going to have 149 00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:44,000 Speaker 6: the right people put in a good word for you. You 150 00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:44,960 Speaker 6: may not think you have the connections. 151 00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:45,800 Speaker 5: Don't worry. 152 00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:49,720 Speaker 6: You have friends in high places. God is not only 153 00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:51,680 Speaker 6: guiding and directing your steps. 154 00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:53,960 Speaker 5: He's lining up the people you need. 155 00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:58,200 Speaker 6: He's arranging things in your favor. Paul said in Second 156 00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:03,400 Speaker 6: Corinthians from the message trend, whatever God has promised gets 157 00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:07,880 Speaker 6: stamped with yes. That means the dreams God's placed in 158 00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:10,800 Speaker 6: your heart, the promises he's spoken over. 159 00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:13,240 Speaker 5: You have already been stamped with yes. 160 00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:17,360 Speaker 6: God has already set the date to bring it to pass. 161 00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:19,360 Speaker 5: It's already on the schedule. 162 00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:23,320 Speaker 6: But there's one more thing that God needs It goes 163 00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:28,679 Speaker 6: on to say God, Yes, with our yes together makes 164 00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:32,840 Speaker 6: it a sure thing. God is saying yes. Now he 165 00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:37,160 Speaker 6: needs your yes to make it happen. God, Yes by 166 00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:41,760 Speaker 6: itself is not enough. God works where there's faith. If 167 00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:44,280 Speaker 6: this lady would have gone around thinking, oh, I'll never 168 00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:47,640 Speaker 6: get the position, nothing good ever happens to me, that 169 00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:51,120 Speaker 6: would have kept it from happening. When it comes to God, 170 00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:55,440 Speaker 6: be a yes man, be a yes woman. God says 171 00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:57,160 Speaker 6: he's restoring. 172 00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:58,360 Speaker 5: Health back into you. 173 00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:00,480 Speaker 6: You can think of all the reasons why you're not 174 00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:03,280 Speaker 6: going to get well, or you can be a yes man, 175 00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:06,880 Speaker 6: Yes God, I agree, thank you that I'm getting healthier, 176 00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:10,280 Speaker 6: thank you that I'm getting stronger. God said in Psalm 177 00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:13,680 Speaker 6: sixty five that he's going to crown your year with 178 00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:17,920 Speaker 6: a bountiful harvest. You can go around not expecting good breaks, 179 00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:21,240 Speaker 6: not expecting to get ahead, or you can be a 180 00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:25,160 Speaker 6: yes man, Yes God, I agree, thank you that it's 181 00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:30,240 Speaker 6: going to be a blessed, prosperous, abundant, bountiful year. That's 182 00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:34,280 Speaker 6: not just being positive, that's putting your yes with God. Yes, 183 00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:38,040 Speaker 6: God said, what was meant for your harm. 184 00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:40,719 Speaker 5: He's going to turn and use to your advantage. 185 00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:44,360 Speaker 6: You can dwell on all your hurts, what didn't work out, 186 00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:45,640 Speaker 6: the people that did you wrong. 187 00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:50,480 Speaker 5: Or you can be a yes man. Yes, God, I agree. 188 00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:53,400 Speaker 5: Thank you for beauty, for these ashes. Thank you that 189 00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:55,319 Speaker 5: you're my vindicator. Thank you that you're. 190 00:09:55,280 --> 00:10:00,160 Speaker 6: Fighting my battles. Is God waiting for your yes? Are 191 00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:04,040 Speaker 6: you letting the nose? The disappointments, the delays convince you 192 00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:06,920 Speaker 6: that it's not going to happen. You may not have 193 00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:10,240 Speaker 6: seen it yet, but this is a new day. You 194 00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:13,839 Speaker 6: are coming into a year of yes. I'm asking you 195 00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:17,920 Speaker 6: to put your yes with God, yes, and watch what happens. 196 00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:21,360 Speaker 6: There was a young lady in the scripture named Hannah. 197 00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:23,240 Speaker 6: She was married to a man, but. 198 00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:25,320 Speaker 5: She wasn't able to have children. 199 00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:29,840 Speaker 6: She kept praying and believing, but the scripture says the 200 00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:32,120 Speaker 6: Lord had shut Hannah's wound. 201 00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:34,560 Speaker 5: Year after year went by. 202 00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:37,800 Speaker 6: She was so discouraged, didn't look like she'd ever be 203 00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:38,880 Speaker 6: able to have a baby. 204 00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:40,719 Speaker 5: To make matters. 205 00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:43,880 Speaker 6: Worse, her husband was married to another woman as well, 206 00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:48,520 Speaker 6: and she kept having children. She didn't have any problem conceiving, 207 00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:52,600 Speaker 6: and this other wife would make fun of Hannah, try 208 00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:53,520 Speaker 6: to make her feel like. 209 00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:57,400 Speaker 5: She was inferior. Something was wrong with her. Hannah would 210 00:10:57,440 --> 00:10:59,360 Speaker 5: end up in tears so upset. 211 00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:02,520 Speaker 6: One day, Hannah went to the temple and she was 212 00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:05,440 Speaker 6: crying and asking God to give her a baby. 213 00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:09,120 Speaker 5: The prophet Eli saw and asked what was wrong. 214 00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:12,680 Speaker 6: She explained how she was bearing and she was asking 215 00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:16,520 Speaker 6: God to open up her wound. Eli said, cheer up. 216 00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:20,040 Speaker 6: The God of Israel has granted your request. 217 00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:23,520 Speaker 5: You're going to have a baby. Hannah went back home 218 00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:26,920 Speaker 5: like a different person. She had a spring in her step, 219 00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:32,080 Speaker 5: a smile on her face. On the outside, nothing had changed. 220 00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:35,080 Speaker 6: No baby, no sign of a child. But on the 221 00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:38,240 Speaker 6: inside she put her yes with God. 222 00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:38,720 Speaker 5: Yes. 223 00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:41,720 Speaker 6: At that point she believed she was going to have 224 00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:45,400 Speaker 6: a baby. When that other wife made fun of her, 225 00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:48,960 Speaker 6: too bad, Hannah, you'll never have a child. Instead of 226 00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:53,240 Speaker 6: getting upset, instead of crying, her new attitude was I 227 00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:57,480 Speaker 6: may have had some nose, but I have some inside information. 228 00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:01,439 Speaker 5: I know my yes is coming. The God of Israel 229 00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:02,680 Speaker 5: has spoken it over me. 230 00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:05,840 Speaker 6: I may not see it yet, but I walk by 231 00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:07,360 Speaker 6: faith and not by sight. 232 00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:11,440 Speaker 5: I know my baby is coming. A year later, she 233 00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:14,959 Speaker 5: went back to the temple with her baby boy, Samuel. 234 00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:16,680 Speaker 5: She came in to her yes. 235 00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:20,400 Speaker 6: Like Hannah, you may have had a lot of nose. 236 00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:23,720 Speaker 6: People have tried to discourage you, make you think that 237 00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:24,959 Speaker 6: it's never going to happen. 238 00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:28,280 Speaker 5: You need to get ready. Your yes is coming. 239 00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:33,120 Speaker 6: The same God that shut Hannah's womb opened Hannah's womb. 240 00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:37,040 Speaker 5: God may have said no in the past, doesn't mean 241 00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:39,160 Speaker 5: it's going to be no in the future. 242 00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:43,319 Speaker 6: Just as God turned Hannah's no into a yes, God 243 00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:46,640 Speaker 6: is going to turn around some nose for you. Will 244 00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:50,160 Speaker 6: you do like Hannah and start acting like what God 245 00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:51,560 Speaker 6: told you is going to happen. 246 00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:56,040 Speaker 5: All Hannah had was a word from the prophet that 247 00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:57,520 Speaker 5: she was going to have a baby. 248 00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:01,120 Speaker 6: She didn't have an ultrasound, she didn't have a pregnancy's task. 249 00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:04,600 Speaker 5: She just had what Eli said to her. He could 250 00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:05,280 Speaker 5: have been wrong. 251 00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:08,960 Speaker 6: You have something so much more powerful. You have the 252 00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:13,480 Speaker 6: promise from the God who spoke worlds into existence. He's saying, 253 00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:17,400 Speaker 6: if you'll put your yes with my yes, I'll turn 254 00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:22,480 Speaker 6: the nose around. Those situations that seem permanent, the addiction 255 00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:25,959 Speaker 6: you've dealt with for years, health issue that won't go away, 256 00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:29,360 Speaker 6: or maybe a struggle in your finances. Seems like you're 257 00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:33,000 Speaker 6: stuck thoughts tell you just accept the nose, just get 258 00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:37,080 Speaker 6: used to it. Don't believe those lies. God is about 259 00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:38,280 Speaker 6: to open up your wound. 260 00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:40,760 Speaker 5: What you've been dreaming about. 261 00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:43,800 Speaker 6: That child to get back on course, that business to 262 00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:46,200 Speaker 6: take off, that person to spend your life with. 263 00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:49,440 Speaker 5: You need to get ready. Your time is coming, Your 264 00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:53,400 Speaker 5: yes is headed your way. A young lady I. 265 00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:56,320 Speaker 6: Know was working as a news reporter. She was in 266 00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:59,680 Speaker 6: her early twenties. She had a problem with her skin. 267 00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:03,400 Speaker 6: She had real bad rosation. When she was out filming 268 00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:06,480 Speaker 6: a report. If she sweated or accidentally touched her face 269 00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:09,600 Speaker 6: rubbed her makeup off, that red would shine through. 270 00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:11,480 Speaker 5: So brightly looked really bad. 271 00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:14,559 Speaker 6: She couldn't find any makeup that would cover it up, 272 00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:17,720 Speaker 6: and last she ended up quitting her job as a 273 00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:21,800 Speaker 6: news reporter. She started working on a new makeup line 274 00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:23,240 Speaker 6: that would fix her problem. 275 00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:27,280 Speaker 5: She developed a product that she really liked. She believed 276 00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:28,440 Speaker 5: it would be successful. 277 00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:31,920 Speaker 6: She and her husband went to bank after bank trying 278 00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:33,160 Speaker 6: to get funding, but. 279 00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:35,320 Speaker 5: They were turned down again and again. 280 00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:39,560 Speaker 6: Her husband started a website so you could order the product. 281 00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:42,640 Speaker 6: It was up for weeks and weeks with no activity, 282 00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:46,760 Speaker 6: no orders. Finally, an order came through She went running 283 00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:49,000 Speaker 6: to her husband said, look, we got our first order. 284 00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:51,240 Speaker 5: He said, no, that was me. I was just testing 285 00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:52,240 Speaker 5: the website. 286 00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:56,160 Speaker 6: She knew God had put this dream in her heart, 287 00:14:56,520 --> 00:15:00,800 Speaker 6: but all she kept getting were nose. Her goal was 288 00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:05,440 Speaker 6: to somehow get on a home shopping channel like QVC. 289 00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:10,240 Speaker 6: For years, she sent them product, she met with representative 290 00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:11,400 Speaker 6: trying to make. 291 00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:14,560 Speaker 5: It happen, but it didn't work out. They were down 292 00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:17,640 Speaker 5: to their last thousand dollars. Didn't know what she was 293 00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:19,480 Speaker 5: going to do. She went to a. 294 00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:23,400 Speaker 6: Large cosmetic convention. All of the major companies were there 295 00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:25,920 Speaker 6: and she had a three foot booth where she was 296 00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:30,440 Speaker 6: showing people her product. Across the way, QVC had a 297 00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:34,720 Speaker 6: huge booth. This older lady came over and said, honey, 298 00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:35,960 Speaker 6: I love your product. 299 00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:37,440 Speaker 5: I'm going to tell my. 300 00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:41,440 Speaker 6: Buyers at QVC, we need to have you on our channel. 301 00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:45,720 Speaker 6: That lady was an on air personality that had been 302 00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:49,640 Speaker 6: there for over seventeen years. She used her influence to 303 00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:53,720 Speaker 6: open the door. This young lady went on QVC. Her 304 00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:58,000 Speaker 6: product was a huge hit. Today, our friend Jamie Kern, 305 00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:02,440 Speaker 6: the founder of IT Cosmetics, goes on QVC two hundred 306 00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:05,280 Speaker 6: times a year. Her company has become one of the 307 00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:10,440 Speaker 6: largest cosmetic companies in the world. But like Hannah, for years, 308 00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:13,440 Speaker 6: it was as if the wound was shut up. No 309 00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:18,320 Speaker 6: good breaks, no favor, very little progress. Then one day 310 00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:22,640 Speaker 6: she came into her Yes, that one good break thrust 311 00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:27,200 Speaker 6: her further than she ever imagined. Years later, she was 312 00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:29,640 Speaker 6: talking to the lady that put in a good word 313 00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:32,040 Speaker 6: for her that day, and she asked her why she 314 00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:34,760 Speaker 6: did it. The lady said, well, I like your product, 315 00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:37,720 Speaker 6: but it wasn't about the cosmetics. When I saw you 316 00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:41,480 Speaker 6: that day, I felt like God said to me, go. 317 00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:45,640 Speaker 5: Help that young lady. God has the right people lined 318 00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:46,080 Speaker 5: up for you. 319 00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:50,880 Speaker 6: In this year of Yes, You're going to see doors 320 00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:54,520 Speaker 6: open that you haven't been able to open for years. 321 00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:58,760 Speaker 6: The dream God has placed in your heart has already 322 00:16:58,800 --> 00:16:59,880 Speaker 6: been stamped with you. 323 00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:00,360 Speaker 3: Yes. 324 00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:03,600 Speaker 5: Are you adding your yes to God? Yes? 325 00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:07,760 Speaker 6: Are you doing like Hannah and thanking God even though 326 00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:11,440 Speaker 6: you don't see anything happening? Will you be bold enough 327 00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:14,880 Speaker 6: to believe that you're still going to give birth even 328 00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:18,679 Speaker 6: though it feels like your womb has been shut Heaven 329 00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:22,800 Speaker 6: is saying yes. Yes to your dream, Yes to your healing, 330 00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:26,480 Speaker 6: Yes to the freedom, Yes to the breakthrough. Well, Joel, 331 00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:30,160 Speaker 6: this sounds good today. It's encouraging, But I don't think 332 00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:31,639 Speaker 6: I'm going to have a year of yes. 333 00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:33,159 Speaker 5: I've had so many no's. 334 00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:37,600 Speaker 6: You're right where Hannah was. The problem is, if you 335 00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:41,720 Speaker 6: keep adding your no to God yes, you can cancel 336 00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:46,200 Speaker 6: out what God has in store. Other peoples know cannot 337 00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:49,200 Speaker 6: stop you. What they say, what they do. They don't 338 00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:53,480 Speaker 6: control your destiny. The enemies know cannot stop you. What 339 00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:58,480 Speaker 6: you believe is what matters. God needs your yes. He 340 00:17:58,560 --> 00:18:01,960 Speaker 6: has amazing things in your future. He's going to give 341 00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:05,320 Speaker 6: you more influence in favor than you've ever imagined. 342 00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:07,120 Speaker 5: Now, keep adding the yes. 343 00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:11,360 Speaker 6: Thoughts may tell you no, Circumstances may tell you it's 344 00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:12,439 Speaker 6: never going to happen. 345 00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:16,840 Speaker 5: But your yes and God's yes makes it a sure thing. 346 00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:22,320 Speaker 6: Why Because God controls the universe, One touch of his 347 00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:26,040 Speaker 6: favor can turn a no into a yes. From no, 348 00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:28,440 Speaker 6: we don't need you to yes, you have the position 349 00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:31,480 Speaker 6: from no you'll never get well to good news you'll 350 00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:35,639 Speaker 6: cancer free, from going to interview to interview with no success, 351 00:18:36,119 --> 00:18:38,920 Speaker 6: to having a taxi cab driver put in a good 352 00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:39,600 Speaker 6: word for you. 353 00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:42,399 Speaker 5: Friends. You need to get ready. Your yes is on 354 00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:42,960 Speaker 5: the way. 355 00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:46,280 Speaker 6: Like Hannah, God is about to open up your wound. 356 00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:50,399 Speaker 6: The Book of Second Kings, there was a king named 357 00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:54,800 Speaker 6: Hezekiah that was told no. But his no didn't come 358 00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:58,520 Speaker 6: from people, It came from God. He was very sick, 359 00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:03,000 Speaker 6: close to death. His mentor, the prophet Isaiah, came. 360 00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:04,720 Speaker 5: To the palace to see him. 361 00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:07,919 Speaker 6: Isaiah was called the eagle eye prophet. He was the 362 00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:11,439 Speaker 6: one that spoke for God. He didn't make mistakes. Now 363 00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:14,960 Speaker 6: I can imagine when King Hezekiah heard the news that 364 00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:19,040 Speaker 6: Isaiah was at the palace, he brightened up, thinking, maybe 365 00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:21,639 Speaker 6: there's hope. Maybe he's going to pray for me and 366 00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:23,960 Speaker 6: I'm going to get well, or maybe he'll give me 367 00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:28,159 Speaker 6: an encouraging word that I can stand on. Isaiah came in, 368 00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:31,240 Speaker 6: said King Hezekiah, I have a word from the Lord 369 00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:36,040 Speaker 6: for you. Hezekiah leaned in closer. Isaiah said, the Lord says, 370 00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:40,520 Speaker 6: set your house in order, for you will surely die. 371 00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:44,040 Speaker 6: He didn't say you might die. Isekiah doesn't look too good. 372 00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:47,320 Speaker 6: Maybe you'll pull through. He said, you will surely die. 373 00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:50,400 Speaker 6: What do you do when God says no. 374 00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:54,480 Speaker 5: Heekiah could have thought, well, too bad for me. I'm done. 375 00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:55,480 Speaker 5: No use even trying. 376 00:19:56,280 --> 00:20:00,320 Speaker 6: The scripture says Hezekiah turned his face to the wall 377 00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:04,880 Speaker 6: and started praying. He reminded God how he had served him, 378 00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:08,000 Speaker 6: how he'd torn down the pagan altars, and how he'd 379 00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:11,439 Speaker 6: set a new standard for his family. He asked God 380 00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:15,560 Speaker 6: for his mercy to give him more years. His attitude 381 00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:18,880 Speaker 6: was if I die, I'm gonna die, asking for the yes. 382 00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:24,680 Speaker 6: Before Isaiah could leave the palace grounds, God said to him, Isaiah, 383 00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:28,919 Speaker 6: go back to Hezekiah and tell him I've heard his 384 00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:33,520 Speaker 6: prayers and I've changed my mind. I'm gonna add fifteen 385 00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:35,240 Speaker 6: years to his life. 386 00:20:36,040 --> 00:20:38,840 Speaker 5: Even when you feel like God has said no. 387 00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:43,479 Speaker 6: If you'll dare do like Hezekiah and ask God for 388 00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:47,879 Speaker 6: the yes, your faith can cause God to change his mind. 389 00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:50,960 Speaker 6: And in this year of Yes, God is going to 390 00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:55,320 Speaker 6: reverse some nose mistakes that you've made. God is going 391 00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:59,359 Speaker 6: to correct them and give you another chance. Opportunities that 392 00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:02,679 Speaker 6: you've missed. He's going to bring them back across your path. 393 00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:06,160 Speaker 6: The things that have been a struggle, the constant pressure 394 00:21:06,359 --> 00:21:08,199 Speaker 6: is going to suddenly turn around. 395 00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:10,760 Speaker 5: Hezekiah and Hannah. 396 00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:15,480 Speaker 6: Both faced situations where God said no. God shut Hannah's 397 00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:19,560 Speaker 6: wound told Hezekiah that he was done. Hannah went to 398 00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:23,720 Speaker 6: the temple and asked for a baby. Hezekiah asked for 399 00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:28,720 Speaker 6: more years. The common denominator was They both asked for 400 00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:34,040 Speaker 6: yes in the face of no. Every circumstance said forget it. 401 00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:38,719 Speaker 6: God said no, just live with it. Their attitude was, God, 402 00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:42,159 Speaker 6: we know you controlled the universe, and even though this 403 00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:45,440 Speaker 6: seems like a no to us, we're asking in your 404 00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:49,400 Speaker 6: great mercy to change your mind and give us a yes. 405 00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:53,880 Speaker 6: Are you bold enough to ask for a yes even 406 00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:55,760 Speaker 6: though all you keep getting are nose? 407 00:21:57,160 --> 00:22:00,280 Speaker 5: Jesus told a parable in Looke twelve. I got a 408 00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:01,320 Speaker 5: widow woman. 409 00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:04,080 Speaker 6: That went to see a judge to try to get 410 00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:07,040 Speaker 6: relief from someone that had done her harm. He was 411 00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:10,760 Speaker 6: an unjust judge. He wasn't fair, He didn't listen to 412 00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:13,080 Speaker 6: the lady, didn't give her the time of day. He 413 00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:16,800 Speaker 6: just dismissed her and sent her away. The next day, 414 00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:20,639 Speaker 6: the lady was right back in his courtroom asking for justice. 415 00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:24,520 Speaker 6: The judge said, lady, didn't I tell you no yesterday? 416 00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:27,840 Speaker 6: She said, yes, you did, but I'm not going to 417 00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:29,800 Speaker 6: leave you alone until. 418 00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:32,240 Speaker 5: You give me a yes. He had her put out again. 419 00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:34,320 Speaker 6: She came back the next day, and the next and 420 00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:38,920 Speaker 6: the next, asking for justice, pleading her case. Finally, that 421 00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:43,000 Speaker 6: judge got so frustrated he said in verse five, this 422 00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:47,199 Speaker 6: woman is driving me crazy. That's a message all on 423 00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:47,560 Speaker 6: his own. 424 00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:48,359 Speaker 5: That's next week. 425 00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:51,679 Speaker 6: He went on to say, I'm going to see that 426 00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:55,639 Speaker 6: she gets justice because she is wearing me down with 427 00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:57,160 Speaker 6: her constant request. 428 00:22:57,840 --> 00:23:00,879 Speaker 5: She kept asking for yes in the face of no. 429 00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:04,439 Speaker 5: If you're going to see your yes, you have to 430 00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:05,360 Speaker 5: be determined. 431 00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:09,160 Speaker 6: If you accept the first no, you weren't serious about it. 432 00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:13,160 Speaker 6: The nos are a test. God wants to see how 433 00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:16,400 Speaker 6: bad do you want it. If you get discouraged, give up. 434 00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:19,080 Speaker 6: You didn't want it badly enough. You have to do 435 00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:19,920 Speaker 6: like this woman. 436 00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:24,320 Speaker 5: Keep asking, keep praying, keep believing, keep dreaming, keep hoping. 437 00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:28,720 Speaker 6: If one door closes, try another door. One company says no, 438 00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:31,560 Speaker 6: try another company. If one bank turns you down, try 439 00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:35,160 Speaker 6: another bank. Friend of mine wanted to start his business. 440 00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:39,360 Speaker 6: He was turned down by thirty one banks. Thirty one times. 441 00:23:39,359 --> 00:23:43,159 Speaker 6: He was told no, sorry, we can't help you. Doesn't 442 00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:46,600 Speaker 6: seem like a good idea to us. He knew that 443 00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:50,439 Speaker 6: dream had already been stamped with God yes. He just 444 00:23:50,560 --> 00:23:54,119 Speaker 6: kept adding his yes, going through the closed doors, not 445 00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:58,160 Speaker 6: getting discouraged. Bank number thirty two said, we think it's 446 00:23:58,160 --> 00:24:00,240 Speaker 6: a great idea, Lard. 447 00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:01,000 Speaker 5: It is business. 448 00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:04,960 Speaker 6: It's taken off and expanded all around the world. He 449 00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:07,720 Speaker 6: told me how some of those same banks now. 450 00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:10,199 Speaker 5: Are trying to get his account. You know what he 451 00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:10,760 Speaker 5: tells them? 452 00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:16,439 Speaker 6: No, what am I saying? Don't get discouraged by the nose. 453 00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:20,480 Speaker 6: The nose are a part of your destiny. They're leading 454 00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:23,280 Speaker 6: you to the yes. You have to come to your 455 00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:27,199 Speaker 6: closed doors before you'll get to your open doors. You 456 00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:29,080 Speaker 6: may have had a lot of no's in the past. 457 00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:32,120 Speaker 6: Things haven't worked out. You need to get ready. Your 458 00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:35,560 Speaker 6: yes is coming. God is going to open doors that 459 00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:38,760 Speaker 6: you could not open. He's going to cause people to 460 00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:41,480 Speaker 6: change their mind and go out of their way to 461 00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:45,240 Speaker 6: be good to you. It's going to be unprecedented favor. 462 00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:48,840 Speaker 6: You will know it is the hand of God. I 463 00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:52,199 Speaker 6: talked to a lady named Schari. She's a single parent 464 00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:54,400 Speaker 6: living in Compton, California. 465 00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:56,280 Speaker 5: Compton, of course. 466 00:24:56,119 --> 00:24:59,920 Speaker 6: Is known for being a rough environment, drugs and violence. 467 00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:04,239 Speaker 6: Her husband was in the federal penitentiary. Schari is a 468 00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:08,560 Speaker 6: school teacher for thirteen years. She raised her son EJ. 469 00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:12,680 Speaker 6: By herself, there were a lot of negative influences, a 470 00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:15,520 Speaker 6: lot of opportunity for him to get off course. But 471 00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:17,399 Speaker 6: Chari is a praying woman. 472 00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:21,320 Speaker 5: Every morning before school they would listen to our messages. 473 00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:24,160 Speaker 5: Her goal was for her son. 474 00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:27,840 Speaker 6: EJ to go to college, and even though looked like 475 00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:32,080 Speaker 6: he had some disadvantages, a rough environment, the odds against him, 476 00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:34,440 Speaker 6: they believed that God would. 477 00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:35,320 Speaker 5: Open the right doors. 478 00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:37,560 Speaker 6: They had had a lot of nose in the past, 479 00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:41,160 Speaker 6: but they knew their yes was coming and they were 480 00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:44,520 Speaker 6: waiting for different colleges to respond to see if he 481 00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:49,120 Speaker 6: got accepted anywhere. Several weeks ago, on their way to school, 482 00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:52,119 Speaker 6: they were listening to a message where I was talking 483 00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:55,719 Speaker 6: about unprecedented favor and how God was going to do 484 00:25:55,800 --> 00:26:00,280 Speaker 6: something unusual and out of the ordinary. When heard that, 485 00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:04,400 Speaker 6: something came alive on the inside, she told her son EJ. 486 00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:05,600 Speaker 5: That's for us. 487 00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:12,160 Speaker 6: Later that day, EJ opened up an email. It said, congratulations, 488 00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:18,240 Speaker 6: you have been accepted into Harvard University. Cherie says that 489 00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:24,000 Speaker 6: EJ is the first African American from Compton to ever 490 00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:28,520 Speaker 6: get accepted to Harvard. His goal is to become a neurosurgeon. 491 00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:32,880 Speaker 6: You've heard that phrase straight out of Compton. A lot 492 00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:34,679 Speaker 6: of times we think of the negative of the gangs. 493 00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:38,080 Speaker 6: How about straight out of Compton and straight to Harvard. 494 00:26:40,119 --> 00:26:43,679 Speaker 6: Jesus came from the city of Nazareth, that was a 495 00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:48,240 Speaker 6: poor rundown city in those days. His critics said, can 496 00:26:48,280 --> 00:26:51,320 Speaker 6: any good thing come out of Nazareth? That's not an 497 00:26:51,359 --> 00:26:55,080 Speaker 6: important influential place. Yet the Son of God came out 498 00:26:55,119 --> 00:26:58,400 Speaker 6: of Nazareth. Can any good thing come out of Compton? 499 00:26:58,680 --> 00:26:59,280 Speaker 5: Yes? EJ. 500 00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:02,440 Speaker 6: Yes, Charie, yes, a whole lot of others.
