1
00:00:01,160 --> 00:00:03,640
Speaker 1: What a joy to be with you today. We're praying

2
00:00:03,720 --> 00:00:06,240
Speaker 1: for you and your family. I know God has great

3
00:00:06,280 --> 00:00:09,039
Speaker 1: things in store. You wouldn't be alive if there weren't

4
00:00:09,080 --> 00:00:11,640
Speaker 1: more victories in front of you. So know that we

5
00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:13,680
Speaker 1: love you, we're praying for you, and hey, I hope

6
00:00:13,680 --> 00:00:15,560
Speaker 1: you'll stay tuned to the very end. We've got some

7
00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:19,560
Speaker 1: special resources to help you stay encouraged and inspired. Well,

8
00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:22,439
Speaker 1: God bless you. It's great to have you with us today,

9
00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:25,439
Speaker 1: and I hope you'll stay connected all through the week.

10
00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:29,479
Speaker 1: You can download our daily podcast our YouTube channel. You

11
00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:32,320
Speaker 1: can listen to the messages anytime, or follow us on

12
00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:36,120
Speaker 1: social media. We'll keep it encouraged and inspired. But thanks

13
00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:38,400
Speaker 1: for letting us come into your homes, and thanks again

14
00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:41,479
Speaker 1: for coming out today. I like to start with something funny,

15
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:44,120
Speaker 1: and I heard about this man. He called the church

16
00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:46,520
Speaker 1: office and said, I want to speak to the head

17
00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:47,879
Speaker 1: hog at the trough.

18
00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:50,080
Speaker 2: The secretary was offended.

19
00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:52,519
Speaker 1: She said, if you mean the pastor, you're going to

20
00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:54,920
Speaker 1: have to call him pastor, but you may not call

21
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:56,640
Speaker 1: him the head hog at the trough.

22
00:00:57,040 --> 00:00:58,360
Speaker 2: He said, well fine, but.

23
00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:01,160
Speaker 1: I was thinking about making a five thousand donation to

24
00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:01,760
Speaker 1: your church.

25
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:03,040
Speaker 2: She said, hang on.

26
00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:07,959
Speaker 1: Porky just walked in, saying, like you mean it. This

27
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:10,640
Speaker 1: is my Bible. I am what it says I am.

28
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:13,399
Speaker 1: I have what it says I have. I can do

29
00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:16,039
Speaker 1: what it says I can do. Today I will be

30
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:20,080
Speaker 1: taught the word of God. I boldly confess. My mind

31
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:23,440
Speaker 1: is alert, my heart is receptive. I will never be

32
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:28,399
Speaker 1: the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you. I want

33
00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:32,360
Speaker 1: to talk to you today about overflowing with hope. We

34
00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:35,039
Speaker 1: all have situations that don't look like they're going to

35
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:37,640
Speaker 1: work out. We don't see how we can get well,

36
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:41,240
Speaker 1: how we can accomplish a dream, how our family.

37
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:41,800
Speaker 2: Will be restored.

38
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:46,000
Speaker 1: All the circumstances say it's not going to happen. But

39
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:50,320
Speaker 1: Paul said in Romans fifteen, may you overflow with hope

40
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:53,880
Speaker 1: through the power of the Holy Spirit. It's one thing

41
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:57,120
Speaker 1: to have hope, but Paul prayed that we would overflow

42
00:01:57,160 --> 00:02:00,960
Speaker 1: with hope. When you overflow with hope, you're not moved

43
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:04,920
Speaker 1: by what the circumstances look like. You're not discouraged because

44
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:08,200
Speaker 1: it hasn't happened yet. You're not worried because you don't

45
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:11,680
Speaker 1: see away. You know God is on the throne. You

46
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:14,640
Speaker 1: know he's ordering your steps. You know his plans for

47
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:17,440
Speaker 1: you are for good, so you can't be talked out

48
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:17,720
Speaker 1: of it.

49
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 2: The odds are against you, but you don't stop believing.

50
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:24,160
Speaker 1: You don't see away, but you keep thanking God that

51
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:26,840
Speaker 1: he has a way. People tell you that it's not

52
00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:29,840
Speaker 1: going to happen. Just accept it. You let that go

53
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:32,680
Speaker 1: in one ear and out the other. You know what

54
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:35,919
Speaker 1: God started, He's going to finish well.

55
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:37,320
Speaker 2: Joel. I hope I'll get well.

56
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:40,800
Speaker 1: I hope my business makes it. This pandemic is rough.

57
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:43,080
Speaker 1: I hope I meet the right person. It's been a

58
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:43,760
Speaker 1: long time.

59
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:46,880
Speaker 2: That's good. That's better than being negative.

60
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:50,119
Speaker 1: But when you overflow with hope, you take it one

61
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:53,560
Speaker 1: step further. Instead of I hope I get well, I

62
00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:56,600
Speaker 1: know I'll get well. I know God is restoring health

63
00:02:56,600 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 1: backato me, instead of I hope I meet the right person.

64
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:04,080
Speaker 1: I know a divine connection is coming somebody better than

65
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:04,880
Speaker 1: I've imagined.

66
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:08,519
Speaker 2: You've been saying that for five years. You really think

67
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:11,200
Speaker 2: it's still going to happen. I don't think so. I know.

68
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:16,120
Speaker 1: So you go through a disappointment, you could be upset, bitter,

69
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:19,560
Speaker 1: But when you overflow with hope. You know what was

70
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:23,120
Speaker 1: meant for harm. God is turning to your advantage. Weeping

71
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:26,280
Speaker 1: may endure for a night, but you know joy is coming.

72
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:31,120
Speaker 1: What are you overflowing with? Overflowing with worry? What if

73
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:34,760
Speaker 1: it doesn't work out? Overflowing with doubt? I don't see

74
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:38,880
Speaker 1: how this problem can resolve. Overflowing with discouragement. It's been

75
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:41,200
Speaker 1: so long, this challenge is too big.

76
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:43,400
Speaker 2: You're overflowing with the wrong thing.

77
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 1: If you'll start overflowing with hope, believing despite what it

78
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:52,360
Speaker 1: looks like, thanking God when you could be complaining, expecting

79
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:55,440
Speaker 1: things to change in your favor, then you're going to see.

80
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:57,320
Speaker 2: God show out in your life.

81
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:02,560
Speaker 1: Problems that look permanent are only temporary. The expert said

82
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:05,600
Speaker 1: you would never get well, but God has the final say.

83
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:08,440
Speaker 2: You don't see how you can accomplish that dream.

84
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 1: There are good breaks already lined up for you the

85
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:15,760
Speaker 1: right people favor. God wouldn't have given you the promise.

86
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:17,440
Speaker 2: He wouldn't have put the dream in.

87
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:19,760
Speaker 1: Your heart if he didn't have a way to make

88
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:24,240
Speaker 1: it happen. And the scripture talks about being fully persuaded

89
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:27,600
Speaker 1: that God will do what he promised. It's one thing

90
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:31,120
Speaker 1: to be persuaded. But when you're fully persuaded, you're not

91
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 1: going to change your mind. You're not going to let

92
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:36,120
Speaker 1: people talk you out of it. You're not going to

93
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:40,599
Speaker 1: let circumstances cause you to quit believing. Before you see

94
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:45,120
Speaker 1: the promise, before the problem turns around, there's a waiting period.

95
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:48,599
Speaker 1: Will you don't see anything happening. There's no sign that

96
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:51,600
Speaker 1: it's going to change. Every thought will tell you you're

97
00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:54,919
Speaker 1: wasting your time. Just accept it. You're not going to

98
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:58,440
Speaker 1: get well. You'll never break that addiction. Your business is

99
00:04:58,520 --> 00:04:59,599
Speaker 1: never going to take off.

100
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:03,440
Speaker 2: That's a test. God is seeing what you're made of.

101
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:04,840
Speaker 2: Are you going to.

102
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:07,640
Speaker 1: Get talked out of it? Negative I knew it wasn't

103
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:11,040
Speaker 1: going to happen. Or are you going to be fully persuaded.

104
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:12,080
Speaker 2: Are you going to.

105
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:14,640
Speaker 1: Dig down deep and say, I'm not moved by what's

106
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:18,440
Speaker 1: not changing. I'm not discouraged because it's taken so long.

107
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:22,760
Speaker 1: I'm not worried because nothing is improving. I know God

108
00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 1: is a faithful God. I've seen him do it in

109
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:28,279
Speaker 1: the past. I know he'll do it again in the future.

110
00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:30,320
Speaker 2: This is what Abraham did.

111
00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:33,480
Speaker 1: God gave him the promise that his wife Sarah was

112
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:35,839
Speaker 1: going to have a baby, but they were both way

113
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:39,800
Speaker 1: too old. Abraham was eighty, Sarah had been burying her

114
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:44,400
Speaker 1: whole life, not able to have children. And sometimes God

115
00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:47,279
Speaker 1: will put things in your spirit that don't make sense,

116
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:51,400
Speaker 1: Dreams that seem too big, problems that look impossible.

117
00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:54,360
Speaker 2: How can I go to college? I don't have the funds.

118
00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:57,599
Speaker 1: How can I start that business? I don't have the experience.

119
00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 1: How can I get the compact center? It's David verse Goliath.

120
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:02,760
Speaker 2: Here's the key.

121
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:06,200
Speaker 1: God doesn't ask us to figure it out. He doesn't

122
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:08,839
Speaker 1: ask us to come up with a plan, research it,

123
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:12,479
Speaker 1: see if it's possible. He simply asked us to believe

124
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:18,520
Speaker 1: Roman's force. Says Abraham was absolutely convinced that God was

125
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:23,000
Speaker 1: able to do anything He promised our attitude should be.

126
00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:26,960
Speaker 1: I am absolutely convinced that as for me and my house,

127
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:31,160
Speaker 1: we will serve the Lord. I am absolutely convinced that

128
00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:34,360
Speaker 1: my children will be mighty in the land. I am

129
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:38,320
Speaker 1: absolutely convinced that we will lend and not borrow, that

130
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:42,840
Speaker 1: we are above and not beneath. I am absolutely convinced

131
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:45,760
Speaker 1: that I will impact this world for the good, that

132
00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:48,039
Speaker 1: my gifts will come out to the full, that I

133
00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:50,839
Speaker 1: will leave my mark that God is opening doors no

134
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:55,040
Speaker 1: person can shine that this ministry will shine brighter and brighter.

135
00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:59,560
Speaker 1: Those dreams God has put in your heart, those promises

136
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:03,280
Speaker 1: He's will to your spirit. They may seem unlikely. You

137
00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:05,600
Speaker 1: don't see how it can happen. No one in your

138
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:09,160
Speaker 1: family has done it. You could easily talk yourself out

139
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:13,200
Speaker 1: of it. You're right where Abraham was. That's a critical time.

140
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:16,880
Speaker 1: You can dismiss it, think it's too big, it's been

141
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:20,520
Speaker 1: too long, or you can do like him and say, God,

142
00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:23,720
Speaker 1: i am absolutely convinced that You're going to turn my

143
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:27,960
Speaker 1: child around. I'm absolutely convinced that I'm going to get well.

144
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:31,840
Speaker 1: I'm absolutely convinced that my dreams are going to come

145
00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:35,480
Speaker 1: to pass. You may not see any sign of this happening.

146
00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:38,440
Speaker 1: You don't have any reason in the natural to believe

147
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:42,560
Speaker 1: that's what it means to overflow with hope. Nothing in

148
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:45,600
Speaker 1: your logic, your reasoning says it's possible.

149
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:48,480
Speaker 2: But down in your spirit, in your.

150
00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:52,960
Speaker 1: Heart, you feel this passion, this knowing, this expectancy that

151
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:56,760
Speaker 1: God is going to do something out of the ordinary, something.

152
00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:57,680
Speaker 2: That you couldn't make happen.

153
00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:02,320
Speaker 1: Thoughts will tell you it's impossis why are you even believing?

154
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:04,760
Speaker 1: You know that problem is not going to work out.

155
00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:07,320
Speaker 1: The same thoughts came to Abraham.

156
00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:11,119
Speaker 2: You can't have a baby. Your wife is eighty years old.

157
00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:12,640
Speaker 2: That's never happened before.

158
00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:18,480
Speaker 1: The scripture says, against all hope, Abraham hoped on in faith.

159
00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:22,160
Speaker 1: And when it doesn't look hopeful, you don't see any

160
00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:25,640
Speaker 1: sign of it happening. Every thought says you're wasting your time.

161
00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:29,280
Speaker 1: You have to dig down deep and against all hope,

162
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:33,679
Speaker 1: hope on in faith, against the odds. Dare to believe

163
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:37,160
Speaker 1: when the medical report says you're not going to get well,

164
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:38,600
Speaker 1: hope on in faith.

165
00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:43,720
Speaker 2: That's one report. But God has another report. When your business.

166
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:47,160
Speaker 1: Seems stuck, you lost a client, funds are down, you

167
00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:50,240
Speaker 1: could settle there, think it's not meant to be. No

168
00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:54,360
Speaker 1: hope on in faith. God is still in control. This

169
00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:57,880
Speaker 1: is what my mother did. Nineteen eighty one, she was

170
00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:02,800
Speaker 1: diagnosed with terminal liver can The doctors told her she only.

171
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:03,880
Speaker 2: Had a few weeks to live.

172
00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:06,480
Speaker 1: There was no treatment that they could give her at

173
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:10,240
Speaker 1: the time, as far as medical science was concerned. They

174
00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:13,880
Speaker 1: had done everything they could. My mother had no hope

175
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:18,320
Speaker 1: in the natural. But like Abraham, against all hope, she

176
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:21,720
Speaker 1: hoped on in faith. I would hear her all through

177
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:25,079
Speaker 1: the day, quoting scripture, I will live and not die.

178
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:28,360
Speaker 1: God is restoring health back into me. The number of

179
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:33,320
Speaker 1: my days he will fulfill. She could have been depressed, complaining,

180
00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:37,600
Speaker 1: but she overflowed with hope. Thoughts told her that she

181
00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:41,120
Speaker 1: was done, she would never see her grandchildren. You can

182
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:44,160
Speaker 1: wear that pink dress at your funeral. She tuned that

183
00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:48,319
Speaker 1: out and tuned in what God said. It didn't happen overnight,

184
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:51,200
Speaker 1: but little by little she got better and better.

185
00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:55,319
Speaker 2: Her skin color came back to normal. She started regaining weight.

186
00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:59,480
Speaker 1: A few years later, the doctor said, we can't explain it,

187
00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:01,559
Speaker 1: but you'd you don't have cancer anymore.

188
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:04,239
Speaker 2: That was almost forty years ago.

189
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:10,000
Speaker 1: Today she's eighty seven years young, still going strong. The

190
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:12,120
Speaker 1: scripture says, is there anything.

191
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:12,839
Speaker 2: Too hard for the Lord?

192
00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:23,640
Speaker 1: Not enough to just be convinced. You have to have

193
00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:26,920
Speaker 1: a made up mind. I will get well. I will

194
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:29,200
Speaker 1: beat this depression. I will come.

195
00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:33,959
Speaker 2: Out of death. I will accomplish my dreams. Not maybe not.

196
00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:34,559
Speaker 2: I hope.

197
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:37,880
Speaker 1: So if some people help me, if I get the

198
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:41,080
Speaker 1: right breaks. No, if you have the ifs you're going

199
00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:44,680
Speaker 1: to talk to yourself out of it. Absolutely convinced means

200
00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:48,840
Speaker 1: giving up is not an option. Not believing is not

201
00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:50,360
Speaker 1: something you even consider.

202
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:51,679
Speaker 2: Your face is set.

203
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:55,800
Speaker 1: You're not moved by negative reports, not discouraged by how

204
00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:59,560
Speaker 1: impossible it looks, not complaining by how long it's taking.

205
00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:04,000
Speaker 2: You know what God promised is on the way. Abraham

206
00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:05,440
Speaker 2: had all kinds.

207
00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:08,960
Speaker 1: Of opportunities to quit believing God gave him the promise,

208
00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:12,840
Speaker 1: but nothing happened. Year after year went by, no sign

209
00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:16,480
Speaker 1: of a baby the whole time Sarah was getting older.

210
00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:20,520
Speaker 1: It seemed impossible when God first promised it, but now

211
00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:25,960
Speaker 1: years later, even more so. The scripture says Abraham considered

212
00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:29,760
Speaker 1: not the weakness of his own body nor the deadness

213
00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:33,520
Speaker 1: of Sarah's womb. If you're going to overflow with hope,

214
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:37,800
Speaker 1: you can't consider all the circumstances. If you stay focused

215
00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:41,120
Speaker 1: on how big the problem is, what the expert said,

216
00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:42,600
Speaker 1: how impossible it.

217
00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:44,239
Speaker 2: Looks, you're going to be discouraged.

218
00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:48,800
Speaker 1: Quit considering the circumstances, and start considering your God.

219
00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:51,280
Speaker 2: He's folk worlds into existence.

220
00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:55,720
Speaker 1: He parted red seas, He closed the mouths of hungry lines.

221
00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:59,120
Speaker 1: He healed my mother of terminal cancer. He brought my

222
00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:02,440
Speaker 1: father out of poverty into influence. He gave us the

223
00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:05,640
Speaker 1: compact center when all the odds were against us.

224
00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:07,120
Speaker 2: No person can.

225
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:11,480
Speaker 1: Stop him, no sickness, no bad break, no addiction. What

226
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:15,079
Speaker 1: are you considering how big your problems are or how

227
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:19,880
Speaker 1: great your God is? One translation says all human reason

228
00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:23,600
Speaker 1: for hope was gone, but Abraham hoped on in faith.

229
00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:27,000
Speaker 1: You may feel like there's no reason to have hope

230
00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:30,400
Speaker 1: in the natural. It's not possible. But we serve a

231
00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:34,560
Speaker 1: supernatural God. When you keep hoping on in faith, you

232
00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:38,160
Speaker 1: are paving the way for God to do extraordinary things.

233
00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:43,040
Speaker 1: When Abraham was one hundred years old, Sarah was ninety.

234
00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:46,840
Speaker 1: This was twenty years after he received the promise. Sarah

235
00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:50,680
Speaker 1: gave birth to a son that they named Isaac. Some

236
00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:55,400
Speaker 1: promises take time. While you're waiting, it's easy to lose

237
00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:59,120
Speaker 1: your passion, think it's never going to happen, start believing

238
00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:02,280
Speaker 1: those lies, that the problem is too big. You can't

239
00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:05,560
Speaker 1: accomplish your dreams. It would have happened by now. You

240
00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:08,480
Speaker 1: have to keep your hope stirred up. You have to

241
00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:12,640
Speaker 1: be absolutely convinced you're not moved by what's not happening,

242
00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:16,440
Speaker 1: by how long it's taking, by how impossible it looks.

243
00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:20,600
Speaker 1: You know, what God promised is on the way. That's

244
00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:24,080
Speaker 1: what Paul prayed. That we would overflow with hope, that

245
00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:26,920
Speaker 1: we would believe when it seems too big, that we

246
00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:29,600
Speaker 1: would stay in faith when it's taken a long time,

247
00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:32,880
Speaker 1: that we wouldn't consider our circumstances, but.

248
00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:34,280
Speaker 2: We would consider our God.

249
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:39,520
Speaker 1: David said in Psalm five, Surely, o Lord, you will

250
00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:43,680
Speaker 1: bless the righteous and surround him with favor like a shield.

251
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:47,400
Speaker 1: He could have just said, Lord, you will bless the righteous,

252
00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:51,480
Speaker 1: but he added the word surely. He was saying, I'm

253
00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:56,160
Speaker 1: absolutely convinced. I'm fully persuaded that what you promised is

254
00:13:56,200 --> 00:14:00,520
Speaker 1: on the way. You need to have some surelyes, Surely

255
00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:04,520
Speaker 1: I'll get well, Surely i'll pay my house off. Surely

256
00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:08,319
Speaker 1: I'll meet the right person. Surely this problem is turning around.

257
00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:12,600
Speaker 1: Surely new doors are opening. Surely I'll come through this

258
00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:14,040
Speaker 1: pandemic better than.

259
00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:14,760
Speaker 2: I was before.

260
00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:15,800
Speaker 3: Not.

261
00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:20,760
Speaker 1: Maybe there's a good chance if the medicine works, if

262
00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:23,960
Speaker 1: I get the promotion, if these people like me. No,

263
00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:27,400
Speaker 1: you need to add the surely you have to be convinced,

264
00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:32,240
Speaker 1: David said in Psalm twenty three, Surely goodness and mercy

265
00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:35,720
Speaker 1: will follow me all the days of my life. He

266
00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:38,960
Speaker 1: was saying, I am confident that good things are coming.

267
00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:43,720
Speaker 1: I am confident that this situation is turning around. It's

268
00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:47,920
Speaker 1: very powerful when you add the surely to what you're believing.

269
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:51,200
Speaker 1: For thoughts will tell you that you'll never get well.

270
00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:54,840
Speaker 1: You saw the medical report. Surely, oh Lord, you will

271
00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:58,040
Speaker 1: heal me. Surely, oh Lord, good health is on the way.

272
00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:01,760
Speaker 1: You'll never get out of debt. Surely I will lend

273
00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:05,280
Speaker 1: and not borrow. You'll always struggle with that bad habit.

274
00:15:05,600 --> 00:15:09,600
Speaker 1: Surely I will break this addiction. Surely freedom is coming.

275
00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:13,840
Speaker 1: Surely I will accomplish my dreams. Surely I will set

276
00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:15,200
Speaker 1: a new standard.

277
00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:15,720
Speaker 2: For my family.

278
00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:19,320
Speaker 1: Well, how can you say that none of the circumstances

279
00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:22,080
Speaker 1: look like it's going to happen. Yes, but I'm not

280
00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:25,640
Speaker 1: moved by my circumstances. I'm moved by what God promised.

281
00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:26,400
Speaker 2: He said.

282
00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:30,280
Speaker 1: Surely he will bless me. Surely he will surround me

283
00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:34,680
Speaker 1: with his favor. Once you're up against may look too big.

284
00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:37,640
Speaker 1: You don't see how it could work out. You could

285
00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:41,840
Speaker 1: overflow with worry, overflow with doubt, overflow with fear.

286
00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:45,120
Speaker 2: Try a new approach. Start overflowing with hope.

287
00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:50,120
Speaker 1: Start adding some surelyes to what you're believing for Start showing.

288
00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:51,920
Speaker 2: God that you're absolutely convinced.

289
00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:55,400
Speaker 1: When you have this surely mentality, you're going to see

290
00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:59,240
Speaker 1: some surelyes come to pass. Surely your family is going

291
00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:02,320
Speaker 1: to be restored. Surely you're going to have that baby

292
00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:05,680
Speaker 1: you've dreamed of. Surely you're going to meet the right person.

293
00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:09,600
Speaker 1: Surely your business is going to excel. Don't let the

294
00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:13,480
Speaker 1: circumstances fool you. Surely God is about to bless you

295
00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:17,600
Speaker 1: and show you favor that you've never seen. In Psalm

296
00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:21,480
Speaker 1: twenty seven, David had all kinds of things coming against him.

297
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:26,520
Speaker 1: He had every opportunity to live. Defeated, discouraged, he said,

298
00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:30,200
Speaker 1: enemies are waiting to attack me. They accuse me of

299
00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:34,760
Speaker 1: things I've never done. They lie about me, they're mean, violent,

300
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:38,480
Speaker 1: on and on. Seemed like he was overflowing with trouble,

301
00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:40,360
Speaker 1: overflowing with adversity.

302
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:44,080
Speaker 2: But just when you thought he was defeated, he said in.

303
00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:48,560
Speaker 1: Verse thirteen, Yet I am confident I will see the

304
00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:52,320
Speaker 1: goodness of God. He was saying, all these negative things

305
00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:55,920
Speaker 1: have come against me, But one thing I'm confident of

306
00:16:56,360 --> 00:17:00,360
Speaker 1: is surely God will deliver me. Surely God will vindicate me.

307
00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:04,879
Speaker 1: I am confident I will see his favor. He didn't

308
00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:08,719
Speaker 1: deny negative things were happening. He just didn't let it

309
00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:12,760
Speaker 1: get on the inside. He didn't let it overwhelm him. God,

310
00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:15,800
Speaker 1: I don't understand it. I was being my best. Why

311
00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:18,840
Speaker 1: did you let this happen? He could have overflowed with

312
00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:23,639
Speaker 1: self pity, overflowed with discouragement, but instead he turned it

313
00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:27,960
Speaker 1: around and overflowed with hope. He said, I am confident.

314
00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:31,960
Speaker 1: I am absolutely convinced. I have no doubt I will

315
00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:35,840
Speaker 1: see the goodness of God. I wonder what would happen

316
00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:40,000
Speaker 1: if we had that same attitude in the middle of difficulties,

317
00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:43,919
Speaker 1: when we don't see away when it's not fair. Instead

318
00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:48,160
Speaker 1: of living discouraged, complaining, we would do like David. I

319
00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:51,480
Speaker 1: know I'm going to see God's goodness. I know healing

320
00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:55,480
Speaker 1: is coming. I know breakthroughs are coming. I know victory

321
00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:58,879
Speaker 1: is coming. God being for you is more than the

322
00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:03,000
Speaker 1: world being against you. When Moses sent twelve men to

323
00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:06,600
Speaker 1: spy out the Promised land, ten came back and told

324
00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:10,280
Speaker 1: how the land was very beautiful and very fertile. They

325
00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:13,360
Speaker 1: saw clusters of grape so large that it took two

326
00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:16,440
Speaker 1: people to carry. It was more than they ever dreamed.

327
00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:19,720
Speaker 1: But they went on to say, there are giants in

328
00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:23,440
Speaker 1: the land. The people are too big, the cities are

329
00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:24,160
Speaker 1: walled off.

330
00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:25,439
Speaker 2: We don't have a chance.

331
00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:30,600
Speaker 1: God promised them the land. But when they considered the circumstances,

332
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:34,520
Speaker 1: how big the people were, how impossible it looked, they

333
00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:38,800
Speaker 1: overflowed with doubt. They were fully persuaded that they couldn't

334
00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:43,720
Speaker 1: defeat the opposition. Now, all two million people were discouraged

335
00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:48,200
Speaker 1: and worried. The other two spies, Joshua and Caleb, had

336
00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:52,680
Speaker 1: a different report. The scripture says Caleb quieted the people

337
00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:56,560
Speaker 1: and said, we should, by all means go in and

338
00:18:56,640 --> 00:19:00,840
Speaker 1: take possession of the land, for we will surely overcome.

339
00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:02,080
Speaker 2: Notice.

340
00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:06,720
Speaker 1: Joshua and Caleb had a surely mentality, Surely we will

341
00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:11,080
Speaker 1: defeat these enemies. Surely we will overcome this problem. Surely

342
00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:15,119
Speaker 1: we will live in the promised land. What's interesting is

343
00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:17,840
Speaker 1: they were the only two people out of that whole

344
00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:20,760
Speaker 1: group that ever made it into the Promised land.

345
00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:24,520
Speaker 2: All the others wandered in the desert year after year.

346
00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:29,120
Speaker 1: Don't get talked out of your dreams may look impossible.

347
00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:33,040
Speaker 1: There may be giants on your land, a giant of sickness,

348
00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:37,119
Speaker 1: a giant of debt, a giant of addiction. Do like David,

349
00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:41,080
Speaker 1: do like Caleb, start putting some surely's on the front

350
00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:44,960
Speaker 1: of what you're believing for Surely I will defeat this giant.

351
00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:48,200
Speaker 2: Not in my own strength, not in my own ability.

352
00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:51,439
Speaker 1: But Lord, I know you will bless me, that you

353
00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:55,200
Speaker 1: will surround me with your favor. Surely I will live

354
00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:59,760
Speaker 1: healthy and home. Surely I will finish college. Surely I

355
00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:04,360
Speaker 1: will conceive this baby. Surely my business will succeed. Well, Joe,

356
00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:07,760
Speaker 1: what about the pandemic? What about business being slow? What

357
00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:08,840
Speaker 1: about our God?

358
00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:10,440
Speaker 2: He's still on the throne.

359
00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:15,160
Speaker 1: He's not limited by the environment, by the economy, by

360
00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:18,160
Speaker 1: what you don't have, by who's against you. He has

361
00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:22,399
Speaker 1: all power. He controls the universe. The good news is

362
00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:27,159
Speaker 1: he's on your side. He's breathing in your direction. The

363
00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:31,879
Speaker 1: scripture says be confident of this. That means have no

364
00:20:32,040 --> 00:20:36,119
Speaker 1: doubt what God started he will finish, that what he

365
00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:39,399
Speaker 1: promised will come to pass. You need to have this

366
00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:43,600
Speaker 1: surely mentality, this made up mind. You're not moved by

367
00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:47,960
Speaker 1: the circumstances, by how long it's taking, by what's not changing.

368
00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:52,120
Speaker 1: You know, God is a surely God. Surely you will

369
00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:55,720
Speaker 1: bless me. Surely you will do what you said he.

370
00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:56,960
Speaker 2: It's easy to doubt.

371
00:20:57,400 --> 00:21:00,639
Speaker 1: It's easy to give up on dreams. A dime a

372
00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:03,480
Speaker 1: dozen negative people discourage people.

373
00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:04,959
Speaker 2: You can find them everywhere.

374
00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:08,159
Speaker 1: God is looking for people that have a made up mind,

375
00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:12,800
Speaker 1: people that are absolutely convinced, people that overflow with hope,

376
00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:16,400
Speaker 1: that believe when the odds are against them, that believe

377
00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:17,840
Speaker 1: when they don't see away.

378
00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:21,000
Speaker 2: You may have challenges coming against you. Now.

379
00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:25,200
Speaker 1: You could overflow with worry, with discouragement, with self pity.

380
00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:28,120
Speaker 2: But look at you. You're overflowing with hope.

381
00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:31,880
Speaker 1: You're thanking God when you could be complaining. You're being

382
00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:34,760
Speaker 1: good to people that are not being good to you.

383
00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:39,120
Speaker 1: You're believing when you don't see anything changing. You're talking victory,

384
00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:42,919
Speaker 1: declaring God's promises. You have a song of praise. You

385
00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:46,840
Speaker 1: need to get ready instead of overflowing with trouble, overflowing

386
00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:49,000
Speaker 1: with sickness, overflowing with bad breaks.

387
00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:51,040
Speaker 2: You're about to overflow.

388
00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:55,760
Speaker 1: With favor, overflow with healing, overflow with abundance, overflow with freedom.

389
00:21:56,920 --> 00:22:00,920
Speaker 1: Because you overflow with hope, Surely God is going to

390
00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:04,000
Speaker 1: bless you. Surely God is going to turn it around.

391
00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:07,560
Speaker 1: Surely he's going to take you into your promised land.

392
00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:11,800
Speaker 1: You're about to see something that you've never seen, something

393
00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:15,359
Speaker 1: out of the ordinary, unusual that thrusts you to a

394
00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:15,920
Speaker 1: new level.

395
00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:18,920
Speaker 2: The scripture says, where two.

396
00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:23,080
Speaker 1: Or three agree according to God's will, they will have

397
00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:27,399
Speaker 1: whatever they ask. And sometimes you can't find anyone to

398
00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:31,199
Speaker 1: agree with you. People don't understand you. They think what

399
00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:34,920
Speaker 1: you're believing for is too big, that problem could never change.

400
00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:38,360
Speaker 2: I want to come into agreement with you. I want

401
00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:39,600
Speaker 2: to put my faith.

402
00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:43,280
Speaker 1: With yours and tell you that I am absolutely convinced

403
00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:46,320
Speaker 1: you're going to see the goodness of God. I am

404
00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:49,960
Speaker 1: fully convinced that forces that are holding you back are

405
00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:54,359
Speaker 1: being broken right now. I am fully convinced that the sickness,

406
00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:58,440
Speaker 1: the trouble, the anxiety, the depression is not permanent.

407
00:22:58,640 --> 00:22:59,680
Speaker 2: It's on its way out.

408
00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:06,440
Speaker 1: I am fully convinced that you are coming into increase, promotion, abundance, overflow,

409
00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:09,960
Speaker 1: that you will have more than enough I am fully

410
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:14,399
Speaker 1: convinced that your dreams, your goals, what God whispered to

411
00:23:14,440 --> 00:23:17,239
Speaker 1: you in the night, are on the way. It's going

412
00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:20,679
Speaker 1: to be bigger than you thought, more fulfilling than you've imagined.

413
00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:25,400
Speaker 1: Now get up every morning with a surely mentality. Surely,

414
00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:28,879
Speaker 1: oh Lord, you will bless me. Surely goodness and mercy

415
00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:31,120
Speaker 1: will follow me. That's not being arrogant.

416
00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:33,160
Speaker 2: That's overflowing with hope.

417
00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:36,600
Speaker 1: That's what David did, That's what Caleb did, and that's

418
00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:40,480
Speaker 1: what Abraham did. For twenty years while he waited for

419
00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:44,119
Speaker 1: the baby with no sign of it. The scripture says

420
00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:47,480
Speaker 1: he grew strong in faith by giving praise to God.

421
00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:51,399
Speaker 1: I can see him all through the day. Surely, o Lord,

422
00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:55,399
Speaker 1: what you promised will come to pass. Surely this baby

423
00:23:55,760 --> 00:23:58,720
Speaker 1: is on the way. I know a young man that

424
00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:02,639
Speaker 1: attends our services. He's a student from another country. He

425
00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:05,399
Speaker 1: had a problem with his visa. When he went to

426
00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:08,040
Speaker 1: enroll for the next year of school, he was told

427
00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:10,879
Speaker 1: that he couldn't finish because of this problem. He had

428
00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:14,000
Speaker 1: already completed his undergraduate work and he was in the

429
00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:16,840
Speaker 1: middle of getting his masters, and it looked like it

430
00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:17,680
Speaker 1: wasn't going to work.

431
00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:17,920
Speaker 2: Out.

432
00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:21,040
Speaker 1: He was tempted to get discouraged, but he did what

433
00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:24,760
Speaker 1: I'm asking us to do against all reason for hope,

434
00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:28,200
Speaker 1: he kept hoping on in faith. He knew God as

435
00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:31,280
Speaker 1: an Oh, surely God. He didn't see a way, but

436
00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:34,080
Speaker 1: he kept thinking God that there was a way.

437
00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:34,679
Speaker 2: A couple of.

438
00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:37,520
Speaker 1: Weeks later, he went back to check in with the

439
00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:40,639
Speaker 1: school one last time. He had been told again and

440
00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:43,119
Speaker 1: again there was nothing they could do, that it was

441
00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:44,080
Speaker 1: out of their hands.

442
00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:46,720
Speaker 2: But this time there was a different.

443
00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:50,600
Speaker 1: Lady working at the admissions office. They started talking and

444
00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:53,800
Speaker 1: found out they'd both come to Lakewood. When you find

445
00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:56,400
Speaker 1: someone from Lakewood, you might as well get ready. You're

446
00:24:56,440 --> 00:25:01,760
Speaker 1: gonna get blessed. Lakewood has awesome people. She said, I

447
00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:04,720
Speaker 1: looked at your files. I see your problem. Let me

448
00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:07,120
Speaker 1: see what I can do. She came back a half

449
00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:10,440
Speaker 1: hour later with a big smile. She said, we found

450
00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:13,399
Speaker 1: a way that we can enroll you. We'll give you

451
00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:16,400
Speaker 1: this letter that will extend your visa. He had three

452
00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:17,320
Speaker 1: more years to go.

453
00:25:17,760 --> 00:25:20,160
Speaker 2: He was so happy, but she wasn't finished.

454
00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:22,879
Speaker 1: She said, I have a fund that i'm allowed to

455
00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:26,600
Speaker 1: help students. I just received permission to award you a

456
00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:30,399
Speaker 1: full scholarship for your next three years. He went on

457
00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:34,840
Speaker 1: to finish school at no charge. Surely, O Lord, you

458
00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:38,680
Speaker 1: will bless your people. Surely you will surround them with favor.

459
00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:42,920
Speaker 1: Are you looking at how big your obstacles are or

460
00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:46,000
Speaker 1: are you looking at how big your God is? Your

461
00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:49,560
Speaker 1: situation may seem impossible, like it could never work out,

462
00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:53,200
Speaker 1: but one touch of God's favor, one good break, one

463
00:25:53,320 --> 00:25:58,159
Speaker 1: healing meeting, one right person, and everything will change in life.

464
00:25:58,280 --> 00:26:01,840
Speaker 1: You're going to overflow with something, doubt, worry, stress.

465
00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:03,960
Speaker 2: Why don't you overflow with hope?

466
00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:07,600
Speaker 1: Why don't you believe that surely goodness and mercy are

467
00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:10,880
Speaker 1: following you. Why don't you be fully persuaded that what

468
00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:14,240
Speaker 1: God promised is on the way. It may be taken

469
00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:16,960
Speaker 1: longer than you thought. Don't be talked out of it

470
00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:21,360
Speaker 1: like Caleb. The giants may be big, but have that attitude.

471
00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:24,600
Speaker 1: Surely I will defeat them. Surely I will enter my

472
00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:28,840
Speaker 1: promised land. Not maybe it'll happen, I'm hoping it could change.

473
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:32,439
Speaker 1: Have a new perspective. Surely, O Lord, you will do

474
00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:36,320
Speaker 1: what you promised. I am confident what you started you

475
00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:40,359
Speaker 1: will finish. I believe and declare if you will overflow

476
00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:44,960
Speaker 1: with hope life with Abraham. Promises that look impossible are

477
00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:48,520
Speaker 1: about to come to pass. Like David, blessings are going

478
00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:53,640
Speaker 1: to chase you down. Healing is coming, breakthroughs, freedom, abundance,

479
00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:57,400
Speaker 1: the fullness of your destiny in Jesus's name.

480
00:26:57,880 --> 00:27:01,520
Speaker 2: If you receive it, can you say amen? Today? Well,

481
00:27:01,520 --> 00:27:02,359
Speaker 2: I'd like to give.

482

Speaker 1: You an opportunity to make Jesus the Lord of your life.

483
00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:07,040
Speaker 2: Would you pray with me?

484
00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:12,760
Speaker 1: Just say, Lord, Jesus, I'll repent of my sins, Come

485
00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:14,080
Speaker 1: into my heart.

486
00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:16,280
Speaker 2: I make you my Lord and savior.

487
00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:19,840
