1
00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:03,160
Speaker 1: Hi, this is Joel and Victoria. Thanks for listening to

00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:06,360
Speaker 1: our podcast and thanks for supporting the ministry. If you

Speaker 1: enjoy today's message, why don't you be a blessing and

00:00:09,080 --> 00:00:11,880
Speaker 1: share it with a friend, reappreciate you and pray for

00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:15,239
Speaker 1: God's very best in your life. Dog bless you. It's

6
00:00:15,280 --> 00:00:17,720
Speaker 1: so great to be with you today, and I hope

7
00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:20,079
Speaker 1: you'll stay connected with us during the week through our

8
00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:24,080
Speaker 1: daily podcast or YouTube channel, social media, and you can

9
00:00:24,120 --> 00:00:26,439
Speaker 1: come visit us in person. We'd love to have you

10
00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:29,120
Speaker 1: be a part of one of our services. Not Let

11
00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:31,360
Speaker 1: you start with something funny and I heard about this

12
00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:35,000
Speaker 1: country grandmother. She'd go out on her porch every morning

13
00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:38,159
Speaker 1: and thank the Lord for another day. Well, her neighbor

14
00:00:38,159 --> 00:00:41,200
Speaker 1: didn't believe in God. He'd shout back, there's no such

15
00:00:41,280 --> 00:00:44,520
Speaker 1: thing as the Lord. One day he overheard her asking

16
00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:47,080
Speaker 1: God to give her groceries for the week. He snuck

17
00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:49,680
Speaker 1: out early the next morning put some groceries on her

18
00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:51,960
Speaker 1: front porch. She came out and said, thank you Lord,

19
00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:55,040
Speaker 1: you did it again. He laughed and laughs at God

20
00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:58,360
Speaker 1: didn't do that. I put the groceries there. She said, Lord,

21
00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:00,920
Speaker 1: thank you, you not only sent the growth, but you

22
00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:06,160
Speaker 1: made the devil pay for them, said, like you mean it.

23
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:09,560
Speaker 1: This is my Bible. I am what it says I am.

24
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:12,520
Speaker 1: I have what it says I have. I can do

25
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:15,160
Speaker 1: what it says I can do. Today I will be

26
00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:19,160
Speaker 1: talked the word of God. I boldly confess. My mind

27
00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:22,560
Speaker 1: is alert, my heart is receptive. I will never be

28
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:28,040
Speaker 1: the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you. I want

29
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:32,160
Speaker 1: to talk to you today about uncommon favor. We all

30
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:35,720
Speaker 1: have dreams that seem too big to accomplish, and challenge

31
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:39,000
Speaker 1: is that we can't overcome by ourselves. We look at

32
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:43,759
Speaker 1: things in the natural, logically speaking, and reason it out,

33
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:48,680
Speaker 1: and sometimes there's no answer. It's easy to get discouraged.

34
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:51,200
Speaker 1: But what God is going to do in your life

35
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 1: cannot be calculated. You can't plan it, you can't rationalize it.

36
00:01:56,480 --> 00:02:00,400
Speaker 1: It's going to be uncommon, out of the ordinary, something

37
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:04,080
Speaker 1: that you've never seen, and on purpose, God will put

38
00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:07,560
Speaker 1: you in situations that are over your head. The good

39
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:12,080
Speaker 1: news is He's already lined up the uncommon favor where

40
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:17,360
Speaker 1: doors open you couldn't open, uncommon promotion where opportunity tracks

41
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:21,960
Speaker 1: you down, uncommon protection where he shields you from evil,

42
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:27,440
Speaker 1: and uncommon freedom where He delivers you from generational limitations,

43
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:31,000
Speaker 1: where God has taken you cannot be reached by just

44
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:35,359
Speaker 1: ordinary means. And yes, we have to pray, believe, use

45
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 1: our gifts, but you can't fulfill your destiny with just

46
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:42,040
Speaker 1: the common. If you're only looking at things in the

47
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:44,679
Speaker 1: natural and trying to figure it out, you're going to

48
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:49,080
Speaker 1: get discouraged. What you can't see is the uncommon favor

49
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:53,880
Speaker 1: this coming. Paul said this in Corinthians. You haven't seen, heard,

50
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:57,520
Speaker 1: or imagined what God has in store for those that

51
00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:01,680
Speaker 1: love the Lord that's talking about in favor. You haven't

52
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 1: seen it yet. You haven't heard it. You haven't even

53
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:09,120
Speaker 1: imagined it. When you look at your situations. There may

54
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:11,360
Speaker 1: be no way in the natural that is going to

55
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:14,639
Speaker 1: work out, no way you could get well, no way

56
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:17,040
Speaker 1: that child will get back on course, no way that

57
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:20,240
Speaker 1: you could lead your department. That all may be true,

58
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:23,760
Speaker 1: there's no logical way. But what you can't see is

59
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:27,360
Speaker 1: what God has stored up. You haven't seen, heard, or

60
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:33,320
Speaker 1: imagined it. There's uncommon favor coming, something unusual out of

61
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:37,600
Speaker 1: the ordinary. You couldn't plan it wasn't in your logic.

62
00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:42,480
Speaker 1: We think natural, but God is supernatural. There are things

63
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:45,520
Speaker 1: stored up for you right now. When God releases it's

64
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:48,920
Speaker 1: going to boggle your mind. Blessings that have your name

65
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:55,160
Speaker 1: on it, healing, divine connections, businesses, books, movies, things you

66
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 1: never saw coming, wasn't on your radar. It's going to

67
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:02,440
Speaker 1: be unusual, out of the ordinary, something that you've never

68
00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:06,760
Speaker 1: imagined see. Ordinary favor is when you get the promotion

69
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 1: you deserved. You were tard, you were faithful, you're next

70
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:15,200
Speaker 1: in line. But uncommon favor is when God ket'll puts

71
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 1: you ahead. He gives you a position that you didn't

72
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:22,640
Speaker 1: see coming. You weren't qualified, you didn't have the experience,

73
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:27,240
Speaker 1: but suddenly you're at a level you never dream. Ordinary

74
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:30,240
Speaker 1: favor is when you pay your house off after thirty years.

75
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 1: God sustains you, provides and we're grateful. But uncommon favor

76
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:39,760
Speaker 1: is when you come into explosive blessings abundance that you

77
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:42,400
Speaker 1: never saw coming. You pay it off in a fraction

78
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:46,039
Speaker 1: of the time. Ordinary favor is when you're able to

79
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:49,960
Speaker 1: deal with the sickness and handle the addictions, learn to

80
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:54,599
Speaker 1: live with it. Uncommon favor is when God sets you free,

81
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:59,200
Speaker 1: turns your health around, defies the odds, and yes, we're

82
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:02,880
Speaker 1: thankful for or dinary favor God's sustaining us. We don't

83
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:05,320
Speaker 1: take that for granted. But I want you to get

84
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:09,640
Speaker 1: ready for uncommon favor God's about to show out in

85
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:14,240
Speaker 1: your life. You're coming into a year of uncommon promotions,

86
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:20,160
Speaker 1: opportunities chasing you down, uncommon influence, new levels of leadership

87
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:26,239
Speaker 1: and respect, uncommon wisdom ideas, creativity that you've never had,

88
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:31,520
Speaker 1: uncommon healing, vitality, and strength like when you were young.

89
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:35,719
Speaker 1: So forty says, God has given me a new song

90
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:39,320
Speaker 1: to sing. Many will see what he has done and

91
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:43,080
Speaker 1: be astounded. God is going to do some new things

92
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:45,560
Speaker 1: in your life, not what you've seen in the past.

93
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:49,680
Speaker 1: It's going to be unusual where you're not only astounded,

94
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:53,360
Speaker 1: but people around you are going to be astounded. Kind

95
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:56,480
Speaker 1: of think, how'd you accomplish that dream, how'd you beat

96
00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:59,560
Speaker 1: that cancer? How'd your child get back on course? How'd

97
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:02,679
Speaker 1: you pay the house off? Is the most highed God

98
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:07,480
Speaker 1: releasing uncommon favor what you haven't seen, heard, or imagined.

99
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:11,600
Speaker 1: We see this all through the scripture. When Jesus told

100
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:14,920
Speaker 1: Peter to go back into the water and throw out

101
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:18,200
Speaker 1: his nets. He caught so many fish that the nets

102
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:21,719
Speaker 1: begin to break. The scripture says they were all struck

103
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:25,240
Speaker 1: at the size of their catch. What made it even

104
00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:28,360
Speaker 1: more amazing is there were no fish there a few

105
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:32,120
Speaker 1: hours earlier. Peter had fished all night. He knew when

106
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:35,840
Speaker 1: to fish and where to fish. This wasn't the right time.

107
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:38,440
Speaker 1: They were too close to the sword. None of the

108
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:43,479
Speaker 1: circumstances were favorable. But God doesn't need your circumstances to

109
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:47,279
Speaker 1: be favorable to do something amazing in your life. God

110
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:53,520
Speaker 1: controls the fish, He controls finances, He controls health relationships,

111
00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:57,440
Speaker 1: what doors are going to open. He's not limited because

112
00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:00,520
Speaker 1: odds are against you. You don't have the connect actions.

113
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:04,640
Speaker 1: God will bring someone better than you can imagine. You

114
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:07,839
Speaker 1: don't have the funds. God owns it all. He's not

115
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:11,360
Speaker 1: having a down year. He told the disciples to go

116
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:14,680
Speaker 1: to the lake, and the first fish they caught had

117
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:17,320
Speaker 1: a coin in it, enough to pay all their taxes.

118
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:21,040
Speaker 1: God was showing us that He's going to do things

119
00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:26,560
Speaker 1: unusual ways, ways you can't calculate, you can't plan, doesn't

120
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:30,320
Speaker 1: fit into our logic. It's going to be supernatural, something

121
00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:35,120
Speaker 1: that leaves your awestruck uncommon favor. One time, Peter was

122
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:38,040
Speaker 1: in prison for sharing his faith, and a group of

123
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:41,040
Speaker 1: believers gathered at a house to pray for him. The

124
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:44,000
Speaker 1: king had just had the disciple James put to death,

125
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:46,480
Speaker 1: and now it looked like Peter was next in line.

126
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:49,920
Speaker 1: They'd been praying all night and asking God to do

127
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:53,000
Speaker 1: a miracle, and an angel showed up in the prison,

128
00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:56,720
Speaker 1: woke Peter up, and the doors opened of their own accord,

129
00:07:56,760 --> 00:07:59,920
Speaker 1: and Peter walked out of Freemans the middle of the

130
00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:02,840
Speaker 1: So he went to the house where they're all praying

131
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:06,160
Speaker 1: and knocked on the door. A young woman answered it.

132
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:09,960
Speaker 1: When she saw Peter, she nearly passed out. She was

133
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:12,720
Speaker 1: so amazed she didn't open the door. She ran back

134
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:15,760
Speaker 1: and told everyone it was Peter. They said, no way,

135
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:18,880
Speaker 1: can't be Peter. He's in jail, must be an angel

136
00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:21,600
Speaker 1: the whole time. Peter's out there knocking on the door.

137
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:25,400
Speaker 1: The scripture says when they finally opened it, they were

138
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:30,040
Speaker 1: astonished to see Peter. They stood there in awe. See

139
00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:32,920
Speaker 1: they thought God would do it in ordinary way. They

140
00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:36,040
Speaker 1: were praying that God would change the King's mind give

141
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:39,199
Speaker 1: Peter mercy. At the trial, watch over him in the prison.

142
00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:42,880
Speaker 1: They never imagined that God would deliver him that night,

143
00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:45,880
Speaker 1: that an angel would show up and open the doors.

144
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:50,280
Speaker 1: They couldn't plan that. Logically speaking, this would never happen.

145
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:54,840
Speaker 1: But God is not always logical. His ways are not

146
00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:59,000
Speaker 1: our ways. Ordinary favor would have brought him through the trial.

147
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:03,880
Speaker 1: Give him good attorneys, maybe he'll get probation, maybe he'll

148
00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:07,840
Speaker 1: be released. But where God is taking you and the

149
00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:10,640
Speaker 1: calling He has on your life is going to take

150
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:15,880
Speaker 1: more than just normal good breaks, average promotion, ordinary protection.

151
00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:20,079
Speaker 1: Is going to take uncommon favor. He's going to open

152
00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:25,080
Speaker 1: doors that leave your awestrus, turn situations around that cause

153
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:29,480
Speaker 1: you to be astonished, take your places where you're standing awe,

154
00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:32,600
Speaker 1: How did this happen? Those are some of the things

155
00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:36,800
Speaker 1: that God has stored up for you that you haven't seen, heard,

156
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:41,000
Speaker 1: or imagined. You may be facing challenges now and you

157
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:44,319
Speaker 1: don't see how they could work out all your planning,

158
00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:48,800
Speaker 1: reasoning what the experts say there are no good options.

159
00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:53,440
Speaker 1: What you can't see is the uncommon favor that God

160
00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:58,360
Speaker 1: is about to release. Uncommon healing, God doing what medicine

161
00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:04,040
Speaker 1: cannot do, uncommon breakthroughs, problems that look permanent suddenly turning

162
00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:10,400
Speaker 1: around uncommon opportunities, contracts, businesses that takes your family to

163
00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:13,160
Speaker 1: a new level. Well, Joe, you're just trying to get

164
00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:16,400
Speaker 1: people's hopes up. You can't have faith if you don't

165
00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:20,240
Speaker 1: first have hope. What if I believe this and nothing happens.

166
00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:23,200
Speaker 1: What if you believe in it does happen? If you

167
00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:28,480
Speaker 1: don't believe, you go around negative doubting, joll My problems

168
00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:31,920
Speaker 1: are too big. I think I've reached my limits. You're

169
00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:35,120
Speaker 1: probably going to get stuck. You have to give God

170
00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:38,680
Speaker 1: something to work with. Faith is what gets his attention.

171
00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:42,800
Speaker 1: Dare to say, God, show out in my life this year,

172
00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:49,000
Speaker 1: do something uncommon, out of the ordinary, that leaves me astounded, astonished,

173
00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:52,520
Speaker 1: in awe of your goodness. I know a man that

174
00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:55,480
Speaker 1: has a home for men that are in tough times,

175
00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:58,679
Speaker 1: and he takes in former inmates from the prison. He

176
00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:02,560
Speaker 1: has several hundred men living on his property and feeds them,

177
00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:06,480
Speaker 1: clothes them, helps them to find jobs. One Saturday, his

178
00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:09,320
Speaker 1: main cook came in and said, we've run out of food.

179
00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:12,760
Speaker 1: We have nothing to cook today. And they were down

180
00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:15,520
Speaker 1: on funds and didn't have any way to buy something.

181
00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:18,400
Speaker 1: And this man told the cook not to worry that

182
00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:21,720
Speaker 1: the Lord would provide They're just a few hours away

183
00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:25,559
Speaker 1: from dinner. He didn't know what to do. He said, God,

184
00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:28,599
Speaker 1: this ministry is in your hands, and you said you

185
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:31,640
Speaker 1: supply all of our needs. So God, I'm asking you

186
00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:33,920
Speaker 1: to make a way, even though I don't see you away.

187
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:37,520
Speaker 1: A couple hours later, he got a phone call from

188
00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:41,959
Speaker 1: the sheriff. He works with local law enforcement on different projects,

189
00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:45,160
Speaker 1: and the sheriff said, there's an eighteen wheeler that's turned

190
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:47,840
Speaker 1: over on the freeway. Can you bring some of your

191
00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:51,240
Speaker 1: men to help us clean up. They got there and

192
00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:55,120
Speaker 1: there were tens of thousands of potatoes all over the freeway.

193
00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:58,079
Speaker 1: The sheriff said, you pick them up, and they're all yours.

194
00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:04,760
Speaker 1: They had potatoes for two years. God has unusual, uncommon

195
00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:08,360
Speaker 1: ways to meet your needs. But that man thought that

196
00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:11,360
Speaker 1: surely God would send someone to give a gift so

197
00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:14,360
Speaker 1: he could buy the food, or maybe the grocery stored

198
00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:18,839
Speaker 1: have leftover supplies, maybe a restaurant would call. But God

199
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:22,120
Speaker 1: is going to do things out of the ordinary. Things

200
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:26,440
Speaker 1: you can't calculate. The reason we get discouraged is we're

201
00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:28,400
Speaker 1: trying to figure out how God's going to do it.

202
00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:32,280
Speaker 1: We don't see a way, Joba. Medical report's not good.

203
00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:35,280
Speaker 1: And here's how much I make. If I save up

204
00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:37,560
Speaker 1: for four hundred and twenty years, I'll still be in debt.

205
00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:41,600
Speaker 1: Can I encourage you? God has something coming that you

206
00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:48,120
Speaker 1: can't see. Uncommon Favor is favor that leaves you astonished, awestruck,

207
00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:52,600
Speaker 1: something you never imagine. And the beauty is you don't

208
00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:57,520
Speaker 1: have to make this happen, Strive, manipulate. That's going to

209
00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:00,840
Speaker 1: cause you to get frustrated where you're at. Leave it

210
00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:05,240
Speaker 1: in God's hands. He's already lined up your uncommon moments,

211
00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:11,320
Speaker 1: uncommon favor, A tatoes on a highway, uncommon increase, coins

212
00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:15,640
Speaker 1: in the fish's mouth, uncommon opportunity, having church in a

213
00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:20,840
Speaker 1: former basketball arena, uncommon healing. My mother's still alive forty

214
00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:26,000
Speaker 1: four years after being diagnosed with terminal cancer. God has

215
00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:30,160
Speaker 1: things that are out of the ordinary that you can't plan.

216
00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:35,319
Speaker 1: Blessings you haven't seen, heard, or imagine. Ax seven says

217
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:39,880
Speaker 1: that God gave Joseph unusual wisdom. He had an incredible

218
00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:44,760
Speaker 1: mind for business and entrepreneurship. He was skilled in leadership

219
00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:49,000
Speaker 1: and economics and finances. So much so that the Pharaoh

220
00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:51,440
Speaker 1: put him in charge of all the affairs of Egypt.

221
00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:55,880
Speaker 1: I declare that God is going to give you unusual wisdom,

222
00:13:56,559 --> 00:14:01,840
Speaker 1: uncommon understand the ingenuity and idea is creativity that will

223
00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:04,600
Speaker 1: cause you to stand out, to be a leader in

224
00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:08,280
Speaker 1: your field, to make a difference for the kingdom. You

225
00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:12,319
Speaker 1: have seeds of greatness on the inside. God didn't create

226
00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:16,520
Speaker 1: you to be average, but to be outstanding. The scripture

227
00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:21,600
Speaker 1: says God gave Mary uncommon favor to conceive and give

228
00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:25,080
Speaker 1: birth to the Messiah. Mary could have never planned that.

229
00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:27,840
Speaker 1: No one had ever had a baby without a man.

230
00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:31,720
Speaker 1: That wasn't possible. But when God puts a dream in

231
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:34,720
Speaker 1: your heart, he will give you the favor you need

232
00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:37,440
Speaker 1: to bring it to pass. And sure there will be

233
00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:41,600
Speaker 1: times that what you're facing looks impossible. There's no way

234
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:44,960
Speaker 1: in the natural, nothing more you can do. That's when

235
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:49,560
Speaker 1: God will step in with uncommon favor, something you couldn't plan,

236
00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:54,400
Speaker 1: talent that you didn't know you had, a door supernaturally opens,

237
00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:58,240
Speaker 1: or the right person tracks you down. Now quit worrying

238
00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:02,120
Speaker 1: about how it's gonna happen, losing sleep over what you

239
00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:06,200
Speaker 1: don't have, how the odds are against you. One touch

240
00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:10,720
Speaker 1: of God's favor will turn any situation around. The reason

241
00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:15,560
Speaker 1: it looks impossible is because what God has coming is uncommon.

242
00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:19,840
Speaker 1: You haven't seen this favor before. It's out of the ordinary.

243
00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:24,840
Speaker 1: It's going to catapult you. Ahead Acts nineteen says God

244
00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:29,240
Speaker 1: did unusual miracles in the life of Paul. Seems like

245
00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:34,400
Speaker 1: every miracle is amazing, but how about unusual miracles. It's

246
00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:38,520
Speaker 1: significant that this happened in Paul's life. You remember Paul

247
00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:42,560
Speaker 1: started off as a man named Saul. He hated believers.

248
00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:45,680
Speaker 1: He was the biggest threat to the church. He went

249
00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:49,600
Speaker 1: around arresting Christians and having them put in prison. You

250
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:52,320
Speaker 1: would think if anyone was too far gone, it would

251
00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:57,280
Speaker 1: have been Paul. But God has uncommon mercies. People that

252
00:15:57,320 --> 00:16:01,080
Speaker 1: we would write off, think they're too far off, too wild,

253
00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:05,920
Speaker 1: too dishonest. God never gives up on us. That relative

254
00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:10,080
Speaker 1: you think is too lost, too sarcastic, too addicted. You

255
00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:14,680
Speaker 1: don't know what God has coming uncommon favor. No, they

256
00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:18,120
Speaker 1: don't deserve it. They chose to go down the wrong path.

257
00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:22,200
Speaker 1: But the scripture says, God, who is rich in mercy,

258
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:25,880
Speaker 1: could have said he's rich in possessions. He owns it all,

259
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:29,840
Speaker 1: or rich in knowledge, he knows everything, rich in power,

260
00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:34,160
Speaker 1: he controls the universe. But it describes him as rich

261
00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:39,440
Speaker 1: in mercy. While Saul was breathing out threats against the church,

262
00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:42,920
Speaker 1: a bright light shining down from heaven and knocked him

263
00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:46,960
Speaker 1: off his animal, And that moment he was supernaturally converted.

264
00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:50,920
Speaker 1: He became the apostle Paul that wrote almost half of

265
00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:55,480
Speaker 1: the New Testament. The scripture calls this an unusual miracle.

266
00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:59,840
Speaker 1: Anyone that knew Saul back then could have never calculated this,

267
00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:04,080
Speaker 1: never reasoned it out. No sign he was going to change.

268
00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:08,800
Speaker 1: But God, who is rich in mercy. Maybe you feel

269
00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:11,520
Speaker 1: kind of like Saul. You're not where you should be

270
00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:15,240
Speaker 1: in life. You think you've made too many mistakes. No,

271
00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:18,800
Speaker 1: the mercy of God is bigger than anything you've done.

272
00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:23,520
Speaker 1: He's calling out to you today, saying come home, get

273
00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:27,080
Speaker 1: back on course. We need you in the family. We

274
00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:31,359
Speaker 1: are better together. You have something that makes us stronger.

275
00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:34,679
Speaker 1: Or perhaps you have a loved one. This off course

276
00:17:34,720 --> 00:17:38,199
Speaker 1: and doesn't seem like they'll ever get back on track. No,

277
00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:42,399
Speaker 1: they may run, but like with Saul, they cannot hide.

278
00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:45,680
Speaker 1: Isaiah said, the arm of the Lord is not too

279
00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:49,560
Speaker 1: short that it cannot save. God is going to reach

280
00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:54,440
Speaker 1: down in his uncommon favor and rescue your child, protect

281
00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:57,840
Speaker 1: your loved one, and bring them into their purpose. As

282
00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:00,280
Speaker 1: for you and your house, you will serve the Lord.

283
00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:04,199
Speaker 1: A man called our Serious XM program, and he'd been

284
00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:07,920
Speaker 1: addicted to drugs for many years. He'd gone to rehab

285
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:12,399
Speaker 1: fifteen times with no lasting success, and it's very down

286
00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:15,919
Speaker 1: on himself. One Sunday morning, he went to the house

287
00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:19,240
Speaker 1: where he would buy his drugs, and the granddaughter lived

288
00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:21,359
Speaker 1: in the back room and she had all this supply.

289
00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:24,560
Speaker 1: He knocked on the door and the grandmother was in

290
00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:28,040
Speaker 1: the front room on the couch. She was bedridden, not

291
00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:31,720
Speaker 1: able to move, and she was watching our services on television.

292
00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:35,040
Speaker 1: She didn't know anything about what her granddaughter was doing

293
00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:37,440
Speaker 1: in the back and she greeted the man and asked

294
00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:41,400
Speaker 1: how he was doing. He said fine and just being polite.

295
00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:44,480
Speaker 1: He asked how she was doing. She said, I'm doing

296
00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:48,359
Speaker 1: great now that Joel's on television. Would just sit down

297
00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:51,800
Speaker 1: and watch with me. He kind of felt obligated, like

298
00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:54,400
Speaker 1: he had to his in her house. He sat there,

299
00:18:54,600 --> 00:18:58,359
Speaker 1: never watched any kind of religious program. I was talking

300
00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:02,200
Speaker 1: that day about the God who's how he reaches down

301
00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:04,880
Speaker 1: and lifts us out of the pit, and how you're

302
00:19:04,920 --> 00:19:07,840
Speaker 1: never too far gone for the mercy of God. Now,

303
00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:10,800
Speaker 1: as he sat there that day, he began to weep.

304
00:19:11,280 --> 00:19:15,159
Speaker 1: He felt a love, a peace of freedom that he

305
00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:18,240
Speaker 1: had never felt before. It was like change were being

306
00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:21,119
Speaker 1: broken off of him. He never did go back to

307
00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:23,440
Speaker 1: the room to get the drugs. He left that day

308
00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:27,719
Speaker 1: a changed man. That was over five years ago. Now

309
00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:32,720
Speaker 1: he's a recovery coach helping other people get clean. He

310
00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:35,760
Speaker 1: could have never planned that I'm gonna walk into a

311
00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:38,919
Speaker 1: house to purchase by drugs and sit and watch this

312
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:42,719
Speaker 1: good look and preach you on television. Have change broken

313
00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:47,520
Speaker 1: off of me? That's uncommon favor, uncommon deliverance. That's what

314
00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:52,280
Speaker 1: it's said about Paul, unusual miracles. You may have situations

315
00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:54,560
Speaker 1: right now where you can't figure out how it's gonna happen,

316
00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:57,640
Speaker 1: and how you're gonna get well, or how you'll send

317
00:19:57,720 --> 00:20:00,480
Speaker 1: your children to college, how you can break the addiction.

318
00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:04,439
Speaker 1: The how is not your part. You don't have to

319
00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:07,920
Speaker 1: figure it out. All you have to do is believe God.

320
00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:11,040
Speaker 1: I want to thank you that you have uncommon favor

321
00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:14,119
Speaker 1: come in my way, things stored up for me that

322
00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:19,040
Speaker 1: I haven't seen, heard, or imagined. David was a teenager

323
00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:22,320
Speaker 1: out taking care of his father's sheep and looked like

324
00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:25,399
Speaker 1: he'd have an ordinary life. He didn't come from an

325
00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:29,600
Speaker 1: influential family or any kind of wealth. I'm sure David

326
00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:31,960
Speaker 1: felt like he was stuck out there, like he could

327
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:35,800
Speaker 1: never do anything significant. But every day you do the

328
00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:38,639
Speaker 1: right thing, and you be your best at work, and

329
00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:42,080
Speaker 1: you're good to your family. You keep God first place.

330
00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:46,040
Speaker 1: You are passing the test, you are showing God that

331
00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:49,199
Speaker 1: he can trust you with more. And just because you

332
00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:52,679
Speaker 1: don't see anything happening, doesn't mean God is not working

333
00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:57,880
Speaker 1: behind the scenes. He's arranging things in your favor. While

334
00:20:57,960 --> 00:21:02,120
Speaker 1: David was minding his own business, going about another ordinary day,

335
00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:06,480
Speaker 1: God spoke to the prophet Samuel to travel to another

336
00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:11,320
Speaker 1: city to Jesse's house, David's father, and to anoint one

337
00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:14,640
Speaker 1: of the sons as the next king of Israel. Imagine

338
00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:17,560
Speaker 1: David out in the fields when he got word that

339
00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:21,800
Speaker 1: this prophet is here. He's asking for you. David must

340
00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:24,720
Speaker 1: have thought, you gotta be kidding. Why would he want me.

341
00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:29,879
Speaker 1: David was the youngest son, the smallest, the least experience.

342
00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:33,600
Speaker 1: But God said in Psalm eighty nine, I have selected

343
00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:38,200
Speaker 1: David from common people to become the king. You may

344
00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:41,800
Speaker 1: feel kind of ordinary, common, but you don't know what

345
00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:45,320
Speaker 1: God has lined up for you. You don't know who God

346
00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:49,919
Speaker 1: has already spoken to about you, like Samuel, but they

347
00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:52,840
Speaker 1: haven't shown up yet. There's gonna be a knock on

348
00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:56,920
Speaker 1: your door. Your time is coming. Just keep being faithful.

349
00:21:57,240 --> 00:21:59,760
Speaker 1: You never know when you're gonna get called in from

350
00:21:59,800 --> 00:22:03,840
Speaker 1: the fields. Nobody could have ever planned this for David's life,

351
00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:07,520
Speaker 1: no circumstance that he'd be in leadership, he'd be the

352
00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:11,080
Speaker 1: next king. That was so far out. But God has

353
00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:15,080
Speaker 1: things for you that you haven't seen, heard or imagined,

354
00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:19,920
Speaker 1: uncommon blessings that will come to you. When David went

355
00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:22,960
Speaker 1: out to face Goliath, all he had was a slingshot

356
00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:25,840
Speaker 1: and a few stones that he had picked up from

357
00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:31,000
Speaker 1: the brook, ordinary things common. But when God breathed on them,

358
00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:34,959
Speaker 1: those stones brought down a giant. When you look at

359
00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:39,159
Speaker 1: what you have, it may seem ordinary, average talent, average looks,

360
00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:43,399
Speaker 1: average resources. That's okay. When God breathes on it, the

361
00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:49,119
Speaker 1: ordinary will become extraordinary. What's common will become uncommon. Don't

362
00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:52,840
Speaker 1: discount what you have heard about a five year old

363
00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:56,040
Speaker 1: boy that loved to play the piano. Anytime he got

364
00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:58,480
Speaker 1: a chance, he would sit down and play the best

365
00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:02,080
Speaker 1: he could, and he'd never had any lessons or formal training.

366
00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:05,560
Speaker 1: All he knew how to play was Chopsticks, just a

367
00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:09,359
Speaker 1: very simple tune. One day, his father surprised him and

368
00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:13,240
Speaker 1: got tickets to the symphony to hear this world renowned pianist,

369
00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:17,200
Speaker 1: one of the greatest piano players alive. That night, as

370
00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:20,720
Speaker 1: they were walking to their seats, the little boy, always

371
00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:24,119
Speaker 1: so curious and hard to stay still, looked behind the

372
00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:29,120
Speaker 1: curtain and saw this beautiful grand piano. Without anyone noticing,

373
00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:33,120
Speaker 1: he snuck over, sat down, and started to play Chopsticks.

374
00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:37,280
Speaker 1: About that time, the curtain began to rise. Everyone was

375
00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:41,440
Speaker 1: expecting to see this master pianist. Instead they saw this

376
00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:45,359
Speaker 1: little boy playing this elementary tunes. He was so caught

377
00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:48,119
Speaker 1: up in his world he didn't know everyone was watching.

378
00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:52,000
Speaker 1: When he finally realized all eyes were on him, he

379
00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:54,920
Speaker 1: was about to take off when he felt two big

380
00:23:55,000 --> 00:24:00,000
Speaker 1: hands reaching around him. Was the master pianist. He whispered

381
00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:03,600
Speaker 1: in the boy's ear keep playing. As the little boy

382
00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:08,600
Speaker 1: played his rendition of chopsticks, the world renowned pianist began

383
00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:12,359
Speaker 1: to play a Beethoven symphony piece that was scored in

384
00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:16,000
Speaker 1: the same cadence and in the same key. Under the

385
00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:20,040
Speaker 1: direction of the master, the orchestra began to join in,

386
00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:24,159
Speaker 1: first the woodwinds, then the brass, then the percussion. The

387
00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:27,760
Speaker 1: father sat there in tears. It was amazed at what

388
00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:32,639
Speaker 1: was happening. He never dreamed that simple, unpolished song that

389
00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:35,840
Speaker 1: he'd heard in his living room every day would no

390
00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:42,400
Speaker 1: longer sound like chopsticks, but a full, beautifully perfected Beethoven symphony.

391
00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:47,600
Speaker 1: What was the difference? The Master stepped in. Sometimes what

392
00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:54,360
Speaker 1: we have feels ordinary, ordinary talent, ordinary looks, ordinary opportunities.

393
00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:58,560
Speaker 1: But if you'll stay faithful, at some point the Master

394
00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:02,800
Speaker 1: will step in. God will take your ordinary and breathe

395
00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:06,960
Speaker 1: on it, and it will become extraordinary. Never thought I

396
00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:10,840
Speaker 1: could minister. My father had pastored here for forty years,

397
00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:14,000
Speaker 1: and it's a great pastor, and he'd gone to seminary

398
00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:17,560
Speaker 1: and so powerful and talented priests all over the world.

399
00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:21,560
Speaker 1: I didn't have any of that. I felt ordinary, average,

400
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:24,720
Speaker 1: But deep down I knew I was supposed to pastor.

401
00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:28,080
Speaker 1: I took that step of faith. You know what happened.

402
00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:32,399
Speaker 1: The Master stepped in. God took what was common and

403
00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:36,440
Speaker 1: turned it into uncommon. He breathed on my talent, breathed

404
00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:39,760
Speaker 1: on my ability. He's taken me where I never dreamed.

405
00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:43,359
Speaker 1: I couldn't have planned this. I thought I'd stay behind

406
00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:47,000
Speaker 1: the scenes and do television production the rest of my life.

407
00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:50,199
Speaker 1: What am I saying? God has some things stored up

408
00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:54,479
Speaker 1: for you that you haven't seen, you haven't imagined. It

409
00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:57,840
Speaker 1: looks like just a slingshot, but when God breathes on it,

410
00:25:57,840 --> 00:26:01,840
Speaker 1: it'll bring down giants. This took his staff, a piece

411
00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:05,320
Speaker 1: of wood, something common. He held it up, and the

412
00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:09,280
Speaker 1: Master stepped in. The red sea parted something they had

413
00:26:09,320 --> 00:26:13,240
Speaker 1: never seen. You may have situations that look like they'll

414
00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:17,440
Speaker 1: never turn around. Seems like you're stuck. Can I encourage you?

415
00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:21,439
Speaker 1: The Master is about to step in. God sees you

416
00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:25,560
Speaker 1: doing your part, he sees you being your best. He's

417
00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:29,240
Speaker 1: about to breathe on your family, breathe on your finances,

418
00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:32,960
Speaker 1: breathe on your health, breathe on your talent. He's already

419
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:37,280
Speaker 1: lined up some of these uncommon moments for you unusual

420
00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:41,560
Speaker 1: miracles or in your future. Isaiah twenty eight says, this

421
00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:47,360
Speaker 1: time the Lord will do something surprising, not what you expect. Now.

422
00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:49,959
Speaker 1: I know God's done great things in the past, but

423
00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:54,000
Speaker 1: you haven't seen anything yet. I believe in declare this

424
00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:57,080
Speaker 1: is gonna be a year of uncommon favor for you,

425
00:26:57,960 --> 00:27:04,919
Speaker 1: uncommon opportunity, unc healing, uncommon victories in Jesus' name, And

426
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:09,480
Speaker 1: if you receive it, can you say amen? I'd like

427
00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:12,240
Speaker 1: to give you an opportunity to make Jesus the Lord

428
00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:16,480
Speaker 1: of your life. Would you pray with me? Just say, Lord, Jesus,

429
00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:21,199
Speaker 1: I repent of my sins, Come into my heart. I

430
00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:24,560
Speaker 1: make you my Lord and savior. If you prayed that

431
00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:27,879
Speaker 1: simple prayer, we believe you got born again. We'd love

432
00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:30,400
Speaker 1: to send you some free information on your new walk

433
00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:32,639
Speaker 1: with the Lord. You can text the number on the

434
00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:35,560
Speaker 1: screen or go to the website. But I hope you'll

435
00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:38,919
Speaker 1: get into a good Bible based church and keep God

436
00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:39,959
Speaker 1: first place.

437
00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:47,919
Speaker 2: Every day we can live discouraged, angry, depressed, defeated. Is

438
00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:51,080
Speaker 2: it possible to turn these negatives into an outlook filled

439
00:27:51,080 --> 00:27:53,159
Speaker 2: with purpose, happiness and joy?

440
00:27:54,440 --> 00:27:57,680
Speaker 1: Every day we make choices, how we see ourselves, how

441
00:27:57,720 --> 00:28:01,080
Speaker 1: we respond to challenges, to what's in front of us.

442
00:28:01,560 --> 00:28:05,399
