Speaker 4: One of our services.

50
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:09,520
Speaker 5: I like to start with something funny, and I heard

51
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:12,840
Speaker 5: about this man. He was the mayor of a small town.

52
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:16,560
Speaker 5: He was in a parade, riding down main street in

53
00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:19,520
Speaker 5: Afloat with his wife. While he was waving at all

54
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:23,480
Speaker 5: the people, he spotted his wife's formal boyfriend in the crowd.

55
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:25,480
Speaker 4: He owned the local gas station.

56
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:28,440
Speaker 5: He whispered in her ear, aren't you glad you didn't

57
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:31,520
Speaker 5: marry him, you'd be working at a gas station. She

58
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:34,280
Speaker 5: whispered back. No, if I would have married him, he

59
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 5: would be the mayor. That's the way you need to

60
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:42,560
Speaker 5: see yourself as favored, influential, as a.

61
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:43,160
Speaker 4: Mighty child of God.

62
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:45,800
Speaker 5: Come on, say like you mean it. This is my Bible.

63
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:48,640
Speaker 5: I am what it says I am. I have what

64
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:51,200
Speaker 5: it says I have. I can do what it says

65
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:54,080
Speaker 5: I can do. Today I will be taught the word

66
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:56,280
Speaker 5: of God. I'll boldly confess.

67
00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 4: My mind is alert, my heart is receptive.

68
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:04,040
Speaker 5: Will never be the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you.

69
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:07,440
Speaker 5: I want to talk to you today about the.

70
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:08,520
Speaker 4: Promise is coming.

71
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:12,560
Speaker 5: We're all waiting for something, waiting for a dream to

72
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:13,720
Speaker 5: come to pass.

73
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:16,520
Speaker 4: Or waiting for a health to improve, waiting for a

74
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:17,720
Speaker 4: child to turn around.

75
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:20,840
Speaker 5: And when it's taken a long time and we don't

76
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:24,720
Speaker 5: see anything happening, it's easy to get discouraged and think

77
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:27,799
Speaker 5: that it's not meant to be. But the scripture says

78
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:32,760
Speaker 5: in Hebrew's ten, patient endurance is what you need now,

79
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:37,320
Speaker 5: then you will receive all that God has promised. This

80
00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:40,640
Speaker 5: is saying, don't get talked out of what God put

81
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:41,200
Speaker 5: in your heart.

82
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:42,880
Speaker 4: Just because it.

83
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:45,240
Speaker 5: Hasn't happened yet doesn't mean it's.

84
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:46,040
Speaker 4: Not going to happen.

85
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:50,960
Speaker 5: God is faithful. He heard your request. He sees you

86
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 5: standing in faith. He hears you thanking him when you

87
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:59,440
Speaker 5: could be complaining. What you're believing for is on the way.

88
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:04,080
Speaker 5: You prayed in faith according to God's will. He put

89
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:07,800
Speaker 5: the promise on the schedule. He already set the time

90
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:10,920
Speaker 5: to bring it to pass. You may not see any

91
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:14,880
Speaker 5: sign of it. Nothing looks like it's changing, but God

92
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:18,600
Speaker 5: is working behind the scenes. Things are happening right now

93
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:22,240
Speaker 5: that you can't see. He's lining up the right people,

94
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:26,640
Speaker 5: arranging the good breaks, the healing, the freedom, the abundance.

95
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 5: It's just a matter of time before you see what

96
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:30,560
Speaker 5: God is up to.

97
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:35,240
Speaker 4: But here's the key. Before the promise is fulfilled, you

98
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:37,680
Speaker 4: have to pass the discouragement test.

99
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:42,120
Speaker 5: Where you're waiting and you don't see anything happening, Doubt

100
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:43,359
Speaker 5: comes saying, man, it.

101
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 4: Would have happened by now. It's too late.

102
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:49,839
Speaker 5: You'll never get well, never meet the right person, never

103
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:51,200
Speaker 5: see your family restore.

104
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:54,480
Speaker 4: This is where many people miss their miracle.

105
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:58,240
Speaker 5: They get discouraged and think that God has forgotten about them.

106
00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:03,000
Speaker 5: What you do so while you're waiting will determine whether.

107
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:03,800
Speaker 4: You see the promise.

108
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:09,359
Speaker 5: That's why God said you need patient endurance, not just patience,

109
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:13,119
Speaker 5: but endurance that means you're not going to be talked

110
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:15,960
Speaker 5: out of it. You're going to keep thanking God when

111
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:19,039
Speaker 5: you don't see any sign. You're going to keep believing

112
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:23,440
Speaker 5: when every circumstances there's no way. When you do that,

113
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:27,599
Speaker 5: God says you will receive all that he promised, not some,

114
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:31,160
Speaker 5: not most of it, not ninety percent, nor you'll see

115
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:34,159
Speaker 5: the fullness of the blessing. You may be in a

116
00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:37,520
Speaker 5: waiting season now and you're tempted to give up on

117
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:40,280
Speaker 5: what God has put in your heart, settled for less.

118
00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:42,880
Speaker 4: No, don't water down your dreams.

119
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:47,800
Speaker 5: Don't let delays convince you to lower your expectations. Just

120
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:51,279
Speaker 5: live with the sickness. It's okay to be by yourself.

121
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:54,760
Speaker 5: You'll never meet a spouse, or you can't start that business.

122
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:57,320
Speaker 4: You're doing all right. Just accept where you are.

123
00:05:57,839 --> 00:05:57,880
Speaker 7: No.

124
00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:01,039
Speaker 5: God didn't put that promise in you to tease you

125
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 5: to get just your hopes.

126
00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:04,560
Speaker 4: Up and then never let it happen.

127
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:08,720
Speaker 5: He put it there because He has every intention of

128
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:11,960
Speaker 5: bringing it to pass. You have to dig your heels

129
00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:16,599
Speaker 5: in and have some holy determination. Your attitude should be

130
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:19,520
Speaker 5: I'm in it for the long haul. I will not

131
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:25,240
Speaker 5: give up. I will not let doubt, people, delays, circumstances,

132
00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:28,279
Speaker 5: bad breaks talk me out of what God put in

133
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:28,760
Speaker 5: my heart.

134
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:31,040
Speaker 4: You have to have a made up mind.

135
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:35,440
Speaker 5: We're all going to wait, but how we wait makes

136
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:39,800
Speaker 5: all the difference. David said in Psalms, bring your request

137
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:45,760
Speaker 5: before God and wait expectantly, Wait in faith, Wait knowing

138
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:46,880
Speaker 5: that God is working.

139
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:49,120
Speaker 4: Wait expecting it to show up.

140
00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:54,000
Speaker 5: Every time doubt comes and it's been too long, it's never.

141
00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:54,440
Speaker 4: Going to happen.

142
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:57,680
Speaker 5: Turn it around. Father, Thank you that healing is coming.

143
00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:00,840
Speaker 5: Thank you that breakthroughs are coming. Thank you that abundance

144
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:03,679
Speaker 5: is coming. It's not enough to just pray.

145
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 4: In faith. That's important.

146
00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:10,560
Speaker 5: But you have to wait in faith, wait with expectancy.

147
00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:13,280
Speaker 4: Not God. This is taking so long. I just don't

148
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:14,160
Speaker 4: understand it.

149
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:17,680
Speaker 5: That kind of waiting is canceling out your prayer.

150
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:20,400
Speaker 4: Try a different approach, Lord.

151
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:23,280
Speaker 5: I thank you that what you promised me is already

152
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:26,400
Speaker 5: en route. I know it could happen this month, it

153
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:27,760
Speaker 5: could happen this week, it.

154
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:29,559
Speaker 4: Could happen today. Lord.

155
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:33,520
Speaker 5: I'm expecting your goodness. I'm expecting the right person to

156
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:36,800
Speaker 5: show up. I'm expecting my health to turn around.

157
00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:39,640
Speaker 4: Now. While you're waiting, there will be.

158
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:43,880
Speaker 5: Plenty of test If you're single and believing to meet someone.

159
00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:46,200
Speaker 4: Don't be surprised if you see.

160
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:50,040
Speaker 5: Your best friend get married, your cousin, your coworker, your

161
00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:53,960
Speaker 5: next door neighbor, your great great grandmother she's ninety four

162
00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:57,000
Speaker 5: years old and just went to cankuon on her honeymoon

163
00:07:57,040 --> 00:07:59,120
Speaker 5: and ask you to.

164
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:02,480
Speaker 4: Keep the dog. You'll be tempted to think I give up.

165
00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:04,680
Speaker 4: You know the right attitude is God.

166
00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:06,520
Speaker 5: You did it for them. I know you can do

167
00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:10,320
Speaker 5: it for me. I know my time is coming. I

168
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:13,880
Speaker 5: know what you promised me is already on the schedule.

169
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:16,480
Speaker 4: Here's what I've learned when it's.

170
00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:19,800
Speaker 5: Taking a long time, it's because what God has for

171
00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:23,560
Speaker 5: you is going to be better than you thought, more rewarding,

172
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:28,920
Speaker 5: more fulfilling. Don't despise the waiting period. God knows what's

173
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:32,960
Speaker 5: best for us. Sometimes we're waiting because another person is

174
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:36,400
Speaker 5: not ready, or we're waiting because God is getting us

175
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:39,960
Speaker 5: prepared to handle the weight of blessing. It's going to

176
00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:43,080
Speaker 5: be a big blessing, but it's going to require greater.

177
00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:44,840
Speaker 4: Maturity, greater character.

178
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:49,640
Speaker 5: We all want everything fast, me included, but God knows

179
00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:52,800
Speaker 5: when the right time is. One of the best things

180
00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:56,760
Speaker 5: I've learned is to trust God's timing. If it hasn't

181
00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:58,680
Speaker 5: happened yet, then it hasn't been.

182
00:08:58,559 --> 00:08:59,439
Speaker 4: The right time.

183
00:08:59,880 --> 00:09:02,920
Speaker 5: I can assure you when God is ready, all the

184
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:07,160
Speaker 5: forces of darkness cannot hold him back, it says in

185
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:10,640
Speaker 5: a backup God has an appointed time to bring the

186
00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:14,240
Speaker 5: promise to pass, and it will not be one second late.

187
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:18,480
Speaker 5: Thoughts will tell you you're falling behind, you're missing out.

188
00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:20,560
Speaker 4: God must have forgotten about you.

189
00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:24,240
Speaker 5: But when you come into your appointed time, God will

190
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:27,760
Speaker 5: make up for what looks like lost time. God knows

191
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:31,040
Speaker 5: how to catapult you ahead. He knows how to thrust

192
00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:34,560
Speaker 5: you from the background to the foreground. Looks like it

193
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:37,160
Speaker 5: will take years to get well, but one touch of

194
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:38,280
Speaker 5: God's favor and.

195
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:41,760
Speaker 4: Suddenly it happens. Years for your business to grow.

196
00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:45,800
Speaker 5: But when you hit that appointed time, suddenly it takes off.

197
00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:49,560
Speaker 5: Suddenly you meet the right person, Suddenly your child is

198
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:50,400
Speaker 5: back on course.

199
00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:53,600
Speaker 4: You can't explain it. It doesn't make sense.

200
00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:58,360
Speaker 5: It's just the goodness of God pushing you into your destiny.

201
00:09:58,440 --> 00:09:59,439
Speaker 4: How does this happen?

202
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:05,280
Speaker 5: Patient endurance, believing when there's no sign, Thanking God that

203
00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:05,959
Speaker 5: is coming.

204
00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:08,600
Speaker 4: When your mind says it's never going to happen.

205
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:11,960
Speaker 5: You may have been waiting a long time and thoughts

206
00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:14,560
Speaker 5: are trying to talk you out of it. God is saying,

207
00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:18,160
Speaker 5: get a new grip, take hold of his promises in

208
00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:18,760
Speaker 5: a new way.

209
00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:20,520
Speaker 4: Make up your mind.

210
00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:24,480
Speaker 5: No matter how long it takes or how impossible it looks,

211
00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:27,200
Speaker 5: You're going to be a believer and not a doubter.

212
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:31,360
Speaker 4: The right attitude is what God promised me will come

213
00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:32,160
Speaker 4: to pass.

214
00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:35,960
Speaker 5: I will lend and not borrow, I will live and

215
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:39,480
Speaker 5: not die. My children will be mighty in the land.

216
00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:43,640
Speaker 5: I am free from every addiction. My latter days will

217
00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:47,440
Speaker 5: be better than my former days. You keep declaring that,

218
00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:51,400
Speaker 5: keep waiting with expectancy, You're going to see God show

219
00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:56,040
Speaker 5: out in your life. He's gonna do things that are uncommon, unusual.

220
00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:57,360
Speaker 5: You didn't see it coming.

221
00:10:57,800 --> 00:10:59,480
Speaker 4: It's the greatness of our God.

222
00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:03,160
Speaker 5: The next verse in Hebrews says, for in just a

223
00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:07,680
Speaker 5: little while, the coming One will come and will not delay.

224
00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:12,640
Speaker 5: It's significant that right after it talks about having patient endurance,

225
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:14,920
Speaker 5: it refers to God as.

226
00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:16,480
Speaker 4: The coming one.

227
00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:20,360
Speaker 5: This is saying, while you're waiting, while thoughts of doubt

228
00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:22,760
Speaker 5: are trying to talk you out of it, you need

229
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:25,760
Speaker 5: to have this image of God as the coming one,

230
00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:30,040
Speaker 5: not the delayed one, not the forgot about you one,

231
00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:32,360
Speaker 5: not that you don't deserve it one.

232
00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:34,280
Speaker 4: Have a new perspective.

233
00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:38,360
Speaker 5: The God we serve is the coming one. He's coming

234
00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:42,679
Speaker 5: with healing. He's coming with favor. He's coming with salvation

235
00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:46,000
Speaker 5: for your children. He's coming with that dream he put

236
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:49,280
Speaker 5: in your heart. He's coming with the spouse he already

237
00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:52,280
Speaker 5: picked out for you. He's coming with freedom for your

238
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:56,800
Speaker 5: loved ones. He's coming with abundance for your family. Thoughts

239
00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:58,800
Speaker 5: with tell you it's never going to happen. Can I

240
00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:01,960
Speaker 5: encourage you. The co one is already on the way.

241
00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:06,319
Speaker 5: The healing is already en route, The abundance is already

242
00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:11,600
Speaker 5: in motion. That breakthrough is already heading towards you. When

243
00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:14,439
Speaker 5: you know this, it's easy to wait with expectancy.

244
00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:17,360
Speaker 4: It's easy to believe when you don't see a sign.

245
00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:21,600
Speaker 5: You know God as not just your savior, not just

246
00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:25,640
Speaker 5: as your creator, but you know him as the coming One.

247
00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:28,320
Speaker 5: I love what it says for in a little while,

248
00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:32,640
Speaker 5: the coming One will come and not delay. It doesn't

249
00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:36,480
Speaker 5: say in a long time, years from now, sometime in

250
00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:38,520
Speaker 5: the sweet by and bye, you're gonna be blessed.

251
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:39,920
Speaker 4: No, in just a.

252
00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:43,040
Speaker 5: Little while, you're gonna see God do something awesome in

253
00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:46,760
Speaker 5: your life. In just a little while. The right person

254
00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:49,600
Speaker 5: is going to show up. In just a little while.

255
00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:52,560
Speaker 5: Your business is going to take off. In just a

256
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:54,920
Speaker 5: little while, your health is going to turn around.

257
00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:59,640
Speaker 4: Don't believe those forever lies. The enemy loves to whisper.

258
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:00,600
Speaker 4: It's going to be.

259
00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:04,520
Speaker 5: Years before you get well, years before that depression leaves,

260
00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:08,240
Speaker 5: years before you break that addiction. It's trying to get

261
00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:12,200
Speaker 5: you discouraged, doubting, where you give up on your dreams.

262
00:13:12,360 --> 00:13:13,640
Speaker 4: Don't fall into that trap.

263
00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:17,680
Speaker 5: God says, in just a little while, what you're believing

264
00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:20,920
Speaker 5: for is going to show up. Keep that playing in

265
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:23,760
Speaker 5: your mind, not forever but a little while.

266
00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:27,360
Speaker 4: Not permanent, but in a little while. Not never going

267
00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:29,199
Speaker 4: to change, but in a little while.

268
00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:33,440
Speaker 5: That's how you wait with expectancy, knowing the God we

269
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:36,319
Speaker 5: serve is not a distant, far off God.

270
00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:39,640
Speaker 4: He's the coming one, and in just a little while

271
00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:41,000
Speaker 4: he's going to show up.

272
00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:45,000
Speaker 5: A few months ago, I ordered some sports equipment online

273
00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:47,360
Speaker 5: and the company was in California.

274
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:49,679
Speaker 4: I waited a week and nothing came.

275
00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:52,640
Speaker 5: In two weeks, nothing and I was concerned that my

276
00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:53,920
Speaker 5: order didn't go through.

277
00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:56,240
Speaker 4: Or maybe I didn't put down the right information.

278
00:13:56,960 --> 00:13:58,920
Speaker 5: I went to the website and it gave me a

279
00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:02,480
Speaker 5: tracking number from my purchase. I typed it in in

280
00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:03,800
Speaker 5: big block letters.

281
00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:05,559
Speaker 4: It came up in Roupe.

282
00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:10,320
Speaker 5: When I saw that everything changed, I wasn't concerned anymore,

283
00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:13,160
Speaker 5: didn't wonder if it was going to make it, didn't

284
00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:14,800
Speaker 5: worry if I filled out something wrong.

285
00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:18,479
Speaker 4: That's all I needed to know. That it was in Rouph.

286
00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:22,720
Speaker 5: When you pray according to God's will, when you bring

287
00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:26,120
Speaker 5: your request to him, like David said, in one sense,

288
00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:27,400
Speaker 5: you place the order.

289
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:29,360
Speaker 4: You ask God for what.

290
00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:33,400
Speaker 5: He promised, for health, for freedom, for strength, for abundance.

291
00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:37,320
Speaker 5: You made your request, but like with me, as time

292
00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:40,640
Speaker 5: goes on, you may not see anything happening. You think,

293
00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:43,600
Speaker 5: I wonder if God heard me. I wonder if this

294
00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:46,960
Speaker 5: will ever change. Maybe I don't deserve it. Maybe it

295
00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:50,400
Speaker 5: wasn't meant to be. All this doubt and worry trying

296
00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:52,640
Speaker 5: to talk you out of it. But if you were

297
00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:55,760
Speaker 5: able to go to that heavenly computer, so to speak,

298
00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:58,640
Speaker 5: type in your request that you made, you know what

299
00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:02,760
Speaker 5: you would see in ra The moment you prayed, God

300
00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:07,400
Speaker 5: set the miracle into motion. He dispasts angels with that promise.

301
00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:11,480
Speaker 5: You're praying for salvation for your child. Check the computer

302
00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:16,640
Speaker 5: in Ralph. Healing from this cancer in Ralph, freedom from

303
00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:20,680
Speaker 5: this addiction. Joel, I don't see anything happening. Be patient

304
00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:24,480
Speaker 5: is in Ralph. Don't get discouraged because you haven't seen

305
00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:27,560
Speaker 5: it yet. It may take a little time, but the

306
00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:31,320
Speaker 5: good news is it's already headed your way now. The

307
00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:35,480
Speaker 5: question is will you have patient endurance? Will you keep

308
00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:38,560
Speaker 5: believing when you don't have a sign, Will you keep

309
00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:42,840
Speaker 5: waiting with expectancy knowing that God is faithful. Will you

310
00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:46,040
Speaker 5: keep thanking him that it's in Ralph. This is what

311
00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:50,720
Speaker 5: faith is all about. You can't see it. Nothing's changing.

312
00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:54,479
Speaker 5: Thoughts tell you it's too late. You missed your opportunity.

313
00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:57,560
Speaker 5: God didn't hear you. You have to walk by faith

314
00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:00,760
Speaker 5: and not by sight. God, you have to see it.

315
00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:03,880
Speaker 4: Yet. I trust you. I know you're faithful.

316
00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:07,360
Speaker 5: I believe what you promised me is already in rou

317
00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:11,280
Speaker 5: There are secret things that God whispered to you in

318
00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:13,880
Speaker 5: the night, things you haven't told anyone.

319
00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:17,040
Speaker 4: Seems too good to be true. Can I encourage you?

320
00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:20,880
Speaker 4: They are in Ralph. You haven't seen, heard, or.

321
00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:25,400
Speaker 5: Imagined what God has come in your way. Those struggles

322
00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:29,080
Speaker 5: that are weighing you down, the pressures that can seem overwhelming,

323
00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:31,480
Speaker 5: doesn't look like they'll ever change.

324
00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:33,160
Speaker 4: You're doing the right thing.

325
00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:37,240
Speaker 5: You're being your best at work, taking care of your children,

326
00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:41,200
Speaker 5: keeping a good attitude when it's not fair. God sees

327
00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:45,320
Speaker 5: your faithfulness, He's heard your prayers. He has things in

328
00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:48,880
Speaker 5: route that are going to lighten that loan. Ease is coming,

329
00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:52,800
Speaker 5: Freedom is in round, Abundance is en route.

330
00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:55,120
Speaker 4: The right people are already in Rout.

331
00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:58,200
Speaker 5: God is going to lift you out of that difficulty,

332
00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:00,920
Speaker 5: set your feet on a rock, and put a new

333
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:04,560
Speaker 5: song in your heart. Not years and years from now,

334
00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:08,119
Speaker 5: but in a little while, sooner than you think. The

335
00:17:08,200 --> 00:17:11,480
Speaker 5: coming one is going to show up. He said in Malachi.

336
00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:16,000
Speaker 5: He's coming with healing in his wings. He's coming with freedom,

337
00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:20,199
Speaker 5: he's coming with strength, He's coming with victory. When I

338
00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:23,280
Speaker 5: found that tracking number, I discovered that I could go

339
00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:26,280
Speaker 5: to a map and track the truck that was bringing

340
00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:31,199
Speaker 5: the equipment. Came from California, went to Phoenix, then to Opasso,

341
00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:34,560
Speaker 5: and up to Oklahoma City. It had the whole route

342
00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:38,159
Speaker 5: laid out with the projected dates and times where it

343
00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:41,480
Speaker 5: be at each location. And once I found that out,

344
00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:42,840
Speaker 5: I didn't have to wonder.

345
00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:46,080
Speaker 4: I could see exactly where it was. I knew on

346
00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:47,960
Speaker 4: a certain date it would be at my house.

347
00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:52,040
Speaker 5: It's great when we have all the information, makes it

348
00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:55,639
Speaker 5: so much easier. But can I warn you. God doesn't

349
00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:59,240
Speaker 5: give you any details. The promises don't come with the

350
00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:03,360
Speaker 5: tracking number. He doesn't tell you when where, how all

351
00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:05,639
Speaker 5: he tells you is that it's en route.

352
00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:07,400
Speaker 4: What I said, I will.

353
00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:10,199
Speaker 5: Do what I have spoken, I will bring to pass.

354
00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:14,280
Speaker 5: This is when your faith has to kick in. God,

355
00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:17,080
Speaker 5: I don't see any sign of it. My mind says

356
00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:19,679
Speaker 5: it's not going to happen. People tell me it's not

357
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:22,359
Speaker 5: going to work out. The facts say it's too late.

358
00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:25,560
Speaker 5: But God, I'm not moved by what I see. I'm

359
00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:27,879
Speaker 5: moved by what I know, and I know you're the

360
00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:31,000
Speaker 5: coming One. I know in just a little while, I.

361
00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:33,320
Speaker 4: Will see what you promised. See.

362
00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:37,280
Speaker 5: Sometimes we trust the shipping company more than we trust God.

363
00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:42,000
Speaker 5: We trust Amazon more than we trust the Coming One.

364
00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:44,359
Speaker 5: They're people, they can make mistakes.

365
00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:45,119
Speaker 4: He's God.

366
00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:49,760
Speaker 5: He can never fail. Quit worrying, quit believing the doubt.

367
00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:54,119
Speaker 5: What God promised you is on the way. David was

368
00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:57,720
Speaker 5: a teenager out in the shepherd's fields, taking care of

369
00:18:57,760 --> 00:18:59,920
Speaker 5: his father's sheep, and he had a big.

370
00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:00,760
Speaker 4: Dream in his heart.

371
00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:03,679
Speaker 5: He knew God called him to do great things, but

372
00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:07,600
Speaker 5: there wasn't any sign of that happening. His brothers were

373
00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:12,400
Speaker 5: in the military, they had prestigious positions, but being the youngest,

374
00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:15,560
Speaker 5: he got stuck out with the animals. He could have

375
00:19:15,600 --> 00:19:19,480
Speaker 5: been depressed. God is not fair. It's never going to change.

376
00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:24,960
Speaker 5: But David understood the power of waiting. With expectancy, I

377
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:28,359
Speaker 5: can imagine out in those lonely fields. That's where he

378
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:31,960
Speaker 5: wrote some of the psalms. Maybe he wrote Psalm forty,

379
00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:35,639
Speaker 5: I waited patiently for the Lord. He heard my cry

380
00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:39,920
Speaker 5: and answered my prayer. Perhaps he wrote Psalm thirty four.

381
00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:43,640
Speaker 5: I will bless the Lord at all times. His praise

382
00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:47,600
Speaker 5: will continually be in my mouth. He was saying, while

383
00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:51,320
Speaker 5: I'm waiting, all praise him when nothing is changing. All

384
00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:54,720
Speaker 5: praise him when I feel stuck a praise him. When

385
00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:59,639
Speaker 5: I'm overlooked and underestimated, I'll still praise him. Maybe that's

386
00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:02,760
Speaker 5: where he he wrote Psalm twenty seven. I am confident

387
00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:04,680
Speaker 5: I will see the goodness.

388
00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:07,679
Speaker 4: Of God in the land of the living. Listen to

389
00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:08,480
Speaker 4: his attitude.

390
00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:11,439
Speaker 5: Stuck out in the shepherd's fields, no way out in

391
00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:15,400
Speaker 5: the natural, but he's saying, I am confident the coming

392
00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:16,560
Speaker 5: one is on the way.

393
00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:18,120
Speaker 4: I am confident.

394
00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:23,000
Speaker 5: Favor is coming, new opportunities are coming, Vindication is coming.

395
00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:27,280
Speaker 4: While he was out there waiting, expectantly.

396
00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:31,719
Speaker 5: Waiting, believing God was working, the prophet Samuel started walking

397
00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:35,720
Speaker 5: toward his house. Samuel came knocking on his father's door

398
00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:39,159
Speaker 5: to choose the next king of Israel. He looked at

399
00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:42,439
Speaker 5: the seven brothers and said it's none of these. Do

400
00:20:42,480 --> 00:20:46,480
Speaker 5: you have another son? They called David in from the fields.

401
00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:51,040
Speaker 5: Notice David didn't go looking for Samuel. Samuel came looking

402
00:20:51,080 --> 00:20:54,800
Speaker 5: for David. His father left him out, but God called

403
00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:57,399
Speaker 5: him in. His father overlooked.

404
00:20:56,960 --> 00:21:00,080
Speaker 4: Him, but God shined down on him. What was that?

405
00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:04,280
Speaker 4: The coming One? Our God knows how to come to you.

406
00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:09,760
Speaker 5: Like David, you may feel stuck, overlooked, the dream too big,

407
00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:10,920
Speaker 5: seems too late.

408
00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:15,520
Speaker 4: Have a new perspective. The coming one is on the way.

409
00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:19,240
Speaker 5: He's coming with healing. He's coming with favor, he's coming

410
00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:23,800
Speaker 5: with breakthroughs. He's coming with new opportunities. Samuel is about

411
00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:27,320
Speaker 5: to show up. Good Break's looking for you. The right

412
00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:31,720
Speaker 5: people tracking you down. While David was out there doing

413
00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:35,680
Speaker 5: the right thing with a good attitude, he didn't know it.

414
00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:40,080
Speaker 5: But Samuel was already en route. He didn't have any

415
00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:43,440
Speaker 5: sign of it. Nobody told him, Hey, this prophet's.

416
00:21:43,040 --> 00:21:44,400
Speaker 4: Looking for you.

417
00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:48,040
Speaker 5: You don't know what's already en route to you. You

418
00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:51,960
Speaker 5: can't see the blessings, the favor, the influence that God

419
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:56,520
Speaker 5: has already set in motion. Your appointed time is coming.

420
00:21:57,080 --> 00:21:59,760
Speaker 5: Your Samuel is going to come knocking at your door.

421
00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:04,400
Speaker 5: You won't have to make this happen, manipulate people, try

422
00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:05,520
Speaker 5: to force your way up.

423
00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:07,520
Speaker 4: God is going to bring it to you.

424
00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:11,640
Speaker 5: Everyone will know is his favor on your life.

425
00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:11,920
Speaker 4: Now.

426
00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:15,359
Speaker 5: If David were here today, he would tell you, don't

427
00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:18,880
Speaker 5: let the circumstances fool you. You may not see how

428
00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:22,080
Speaker 5: your dream can come to pass, how you can get well.

429
00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:25,760
Speaker 5: But when the coming one shows up, one touch of

430
00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:30,320
Speaker 5: God's favor, one sam you're knocking on your door, one slingshot,

431
00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:34,359
Speaker 5: one Goliath being defeated, and you'll step into levels that

432
00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:39,439
Speaker 5: you've never imagined. That's why David wrote, wait expectantly for

433
00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:44,320
Speaker 5: the Lord to act. Don't wait discouraged, defeated. This is

434
00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:47,720
Speaker 5: never going to change. Give God something to work with.

435
00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:51,359
Speaker 5: God needs some faith, He needs some hope, He needs

436
00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:52,000
Speaker 5: some praise.

437
00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:54,560
Speaker 4: God. I believe you're the coming one.

438
00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:58,040
Speaker 5: I believe what Malachi said that you're coming with healing

439
00:22:58,119 --> 00:23:01,959
Speaker 5: in your wings. I believe David that my Samuels are

440
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:05,520
Speaker 5: on the way. I believe my breakthrough is en route.

441
00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:08,960
Speaker 5: I believe my child salvation is en route. I believe

442
00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:12,480
Speaker 5: that dream that I'm praying about is already en route.

443
00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:15,320
Speaker 4: When I was growing up, my.

444
00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:18,680
Speaker 5: Mother always wanted a swimming pool in our backyard. There

445
00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:21,439
Speaker 5: were five of us kids, and she told my father,

446
00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:25,560
Speaker 5: and normally Daddy would have given her anything he possibly could,

447
00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:26,960
Speaker 5: but he did not want to.

448
00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:28,560
Speaker 4: Have anything to do with a swimming pool.

449
00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:32,000
Speaker 5: He said, Dody, they're too expensive, they're too much trouble.

450
00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:35,240
Speaker 4: I don't want one. His mind was made up.

451
00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:39,720
Speaker 5: But my mother had patient endurance. In other words, she

452
00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:42,840
Speaker 5: was stubborn. She would not take no for an answer.

453
00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:47,439
Speaker 5: She kept asking, kept bringing it up. My father wouldn't budge.

454
00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:50,000
Speaker 5: One day, she was out in the backyard with a

455
00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:50,760
Speaker 5: tape measure.

456
00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:53,080
Speaker 4: Daddy went out and asked what she was doing.

457
00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:55,920
Speaker 5: She said, I'm measuring off where we're going to put

458
00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:59,480
Speaker 5: my swimming pool. He said, Dody, I told you we

459
00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:01,679
Speaker 5: are not going to get a swimming pool. You might

460
00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:04,040
Speaker 5: as well quit thinking about it. That went in one

461
00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:07,119
Speaker 5: ear and out the other. This went on for several years.

462
00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:12,800
Speaker 5: One Thanksgiving, this couple drove from Louisiana to Houston to

463
00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:16,199
Speaker 5: our annual convention. The man told the usher that he

464
00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:19,720
Speaker 5: wanted to see my parents. They brought him back. He said,

465
00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:22,679
Speaker 5: my name is Richard, and I build swimming pools for

466
00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:26,719
Speaker 5: a living. My mother went over and hugged him and said, hello, Richard,

467
00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:31,720
Speaker 5: we've been waiting for you. He said, I would like

468
00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:32,919
Speaker 5: to build you a pool.

469
00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:34,360
Speaker 4: My father jumped right.

470
00:24:34,320 --> 00:24:36,639
Speaker 5: Into the old Richard, that's so nice, so kind, but

471
00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:40,040
Speaker 5: we can't really afford it right now. It's really not practical.

472
00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:42,399
Speaker 5: He said, what do you mean afford it.

473
00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:44,560
Speaker 4: I want to give you a swimming pool.

474
00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:50,720
Speaker 5: He built this beautiful in ground swimming pool in our backyard.

475
00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:54,000
Speaker 5: First time we went out to swim, all of us

476
00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:56,639
Speaker 5: kids jumped in. My father came out the door in

477
00:24:56,640 --> 00:24:59,760
Speaker 5: his swim trunk so excited. My mother said, John, don't

478
00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:01,639
Speaker 5: even think about getting in my pool.

479
00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:08,320
Speaker 4: But here's my point. While my mother was waiting, there

480
00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:11,520
Speaker 4: was no sign of it. People telling her no, she

481
00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:14,200
Speaker 4: didn't have the funds, but she didn't get talked out

482
00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:14,399
Speaker 4: of it.

483
00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:19,520
Speaker 5: She kept believing it would happen, while all these circumstances

484
00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:21,000
Speaker 5: said that there was no way.

485
00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:24,960
Speaker 4: Here's this man driving from Louisiana to give her a pull.

486
00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:28,840
Speaker 4: He was already en route when my father was telling

487
00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:29,119
Speaker 4: her no.

488
00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:32,960
Speaker 5: He was already headed to Lakewood. When it seemed impossible.

489
00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:36,840
Speaker 5: Don't go by what you see. You don't know what's

490
00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:38,160
Speaker 5: already en route to you.

491
00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:40,399
Speaker 4: When it seems the least likely.

492
00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:44,400
Speaker 5: That's when God loves to show up. When the odds

493
00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:47,359
Speaker 5: are against you, nothing looks possible.

494
00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:50,000
Speaker 4: Suddenly Samuel comes knocking on your door.

495
00:25:50,560 --> 00:25:54,359
Speaker 5: Suddenly, Richard, whom you've never met, says, God sent me

496
00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:58,800
Speaker 5: here to bless you. I'm asking you to wait with expectancy,

497
00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:02,440
Speaker 5: wait knowing that God heard your request, that he set

498
00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:05,280
Speaker 5: the promise in motion, that the miracle is.

499
00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:06,240
Speaker 4: Already in route.

500
00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:11,280
Speaker 5: Fifteen years later, my mother wasn't believing for a swimming pool.

501
00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:13,280
Speaker 4: She was believing for her life.

502
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:17,600
Speaker 5: She was diagnosed with terminal liver cancer and given a

503
00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:18,560
Speaker 5: few weeks to live.

504
00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:21,200
Speaker 4: I saw her have that same.

505
00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:24,960
Speaker 5: Unshakable faith, not being talked out of what God put

506
00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:29,400
Speaker 5: in her heart, that same waiting with expectancy. Deep down,

507
00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:33,119
Speaker 5: she knew that healing was already en route, just like

508
00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:37,520
Speaker 5: Richard showed up unexpectedly, that the coming one was on

509
00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:41,680
Speaker 5: his way with healing in his wings. Four decades later,

510
00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:45,040
Speaker 5: my mother is still alive and healthy, the goodness of

511
00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:50,800
Speaker 5: our God. The Israelites had wandered in the desert for

512
00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:53,760
Speaker 5: many years and didn't seem like they'd ever make it

513
00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:56,400
Speaker 5: in and I'm sure they were tired and run down.

514
00:26:56,440 --> 00:27:00,360
Speaker 5: They felt stuck. But Deuteronomy six says, the Lord your

515
00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:04,520
Speaker 5: God will soon bring you into the land he promised.

516
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:08,200
Speaker 4: It's filled with prosperous cities that you didn't build.

517
00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:12,320
Speaker 5: The houses are stocked with goods you didn't produce. You

518
00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:14,960
Speaker 5: will draw from wells that you did not dig.

519
00:27:16,119 --> 00:27:20,680
Speaker 4: After all this time of waiting, wondering, dealing with the heat, the.

520
00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:25,160
Speaker 5: Opposition, God said, you're coming in to your appointed time.

521
00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:28,800
Speaker 4: Soon. You're going to go into a land like nothing

522
00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:32,760
Speaker 4: you've ever seen. Like them. You may have been waiting

523
00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:33,679
Speaker 4: for a long time.

524
00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:37,160
Speaker 5: You could easily settle where you are, think that it's

525
00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:40,159
Speaker 5: never going to change. But you've fought off the doubt.

526
00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:44,560
Speaker 5: You've waited with expectancy. You've kept an attitude of faith.

527
00:27:45,040 --> 00:27:46,200
Speaker 5: God is saying to you.

528
00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:50,280
Speaker 4: Soon you're going to see you're healing soon. The right

529
00:27:50,359 --> 00:27:53,680
Speaker 4: person is going to show up. Soon. That new door

530
00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:54,760
Speaker 4: is going to open.

531
00:27:55,119 --> 00:27:58,280
Speaker 5: You're on the verge of seeing God do something that

532
00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:01,760
Speaker 5: you've never seen. The coming one is about to show

533
00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:06,560
Speaker 5: up with blessings, with favor, with opportunity. There are things

534
00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:11,080
Speaker 5: already en route to you right now that you can't imagine.

535
00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:13,960
Speaker 5: Now do your part and keep thanking him for what

536
00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:18,200
Speaker 5: he promised, Keep waiting with expectancy, keep declaring that it's

537
00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:21,480
Speaker 5: on the way. If you'll do this, I believe in

538
00:28:21,560 --> 00:28:25,360
Speaker 5: declare like with David, Samuel's gonna come looking for you,

539
00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:29,800
Speaker 5: like with my mother, healing when it seems impossible, good

540
00:28:29,840 --> 00:28:34,040
Speaker 5: breaks chasing you down, Freedom, vindication, abundance.

541
00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:36,879
Speaker 4: God is going to show out in your life.

542
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:40,480
Speaker 5: I believe it and declare it in Jesus's name, and

543
00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:41,880
Speaker 5: if you receive it, can.

544
00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:42,440
Speaker 4: You say amen?

545
00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:47,400
Speaker 5: I'd like to give you an opportunity to make Jesus

546
00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:49,920
Speaker 5: the Lord of your life. Would you pray with me?

547
00:28:50,760 --> 00:28:54,760
Speaker 5: Just say, Lord, Jesus, I repent of my sins. Come

548
00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:58,200
Speaker 5: into my heart. I make you my Lord and savior.

549
