40
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:05,560
Speaker 6: I like to start with something funny, and I heard

41
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:08,640
Speaker 6: about this elderly couple. They were having a terrible time

42
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:12,320
Speaker 6: with their memory. They went to the doctor. He instructed

43
00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:15,560
Speaker 6: them to start writing down everything they had been forgetting.

44
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:18,839
Speaker 6: The next night, they were watching television. The wife said,

45
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:21,280
Speaker 6: I sure would like a bowl of ice cream. Husband

46
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:22,400
Speaker 6: said I'll go get it for you.

47
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:25,320
Speaker 4: She said, honey, you know what the doctor said. You

48
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:27,840
Speaker 4: better write it down. He said, I'm just going into

49
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:29,600
Speaker 4: the kitchen. I'm not gonna forget.

50
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:32,720
Speaker 6: Came back a few minutes later handed her a plate

51
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:36,000
Speaker 6: of bacon and eggs. She shook her head and said,

52
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:40,480
Speaker 6: I should have known it. You forgot my toast. Say

53
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:43,440
Speaker 6: it like you mean it. This is my Bible. I

54
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:45,960
Speaker 6: am what it says I am. I have what it

55
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:48,480
Speaker 6: says I have. I can do what it says I

56
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:51,800
Speaker 6: can do. Today I will be taught the word of God.

57
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:56,680
Speaker 6: I boldly confess my mind is alert, my heart is receptive.

58
00:02:57,040 --> 00:03:00,720
Speaker 6: I will never be the same. In Jesus' name, God

59
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:04,079
Speaker 6: bless you. I want to talk to you today about

60
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:08,480
Speaker 6: favor connections. When I was a teenager, I was pulled

61
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:10,280
Speaker 6: over by a police officer for.

62
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:11,520
Speaker 4: Driving too fast.

63
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:15,239
Speaker 6: When he saw the name on my license, he asked

64
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 6: if I was related to the pastor that he watched

65
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:21,919
Speaker 6: on television each week. I told him that was my father.

66
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:26,280
Speaker 6: He gave me my license back, told me to slow down, and.

67
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:27,000
Speaker 4: Said I could go.

68
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:31,520
Speaker 6: I received favor because of who I was connected to

69
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 6: wasn't anything I did. I just happened to be the

70
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:38,840
Speaker 6: son of a man that was favored, and because I

71
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:42,920
Speaker 6: was in relationship with him, his favor spilled over onto me.

72
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 6: The scripture says Noah found favor with the Lord. When

73
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:51,800
Speaker 6: a great flood covered the earth, Noah's family were the

74
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:52,840
Speaker 6: only ones saved.

75
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:55,280
Speaker 4: It never says his sons.

76
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:58,920
Speaker 6: Had favor or his daughters had favor, but because they

77
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:02,840
Speaker 6: were connected to know Oh, their lives were spared. The

78
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:06,960
Speaker 6: principle is when you're connected to people that are favored,

79
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:10,920
Speaker 6: people that are further along, people that are more successful,

80
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:14,640
Speaker 6: that favor is going to flow down to you. You'll

81
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:19,840
Speaker 6: see increased promotion because of that association. There should be

82
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:24,880
Speaker 6: people you're in relationship with that inspire you, that challenge you,

83
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 6: that make you strive to do better.

84
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:30,200
Speaker 4: When you're connected to someone that's.

85
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:34,600
Speaker 6: Blessed, you honor them, you learn from them, you sew

86
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:37,800
Speaker 6: into them. The more blessed they are, the more blessed

87
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:40,960
Speaker 6: you're going to be. Eventually, you're going to look like

88
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:45,800
Speaker 6: who you're connected to. The question is are you connected

89
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:49,479
Speaker 6: to anyone that has what you want? Or are you

90
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:54,239
Speaker 6: connected to people that are negative? Critical can't get ahead,

91
00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:58,560
Speaker 6: cause you to compromise, drain your energy. It's fine to

92
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:02,360
Speaker 6: be a good influence, fine to encourage them, but if

93
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:05,839
Speaker 6: you're spending all your time with them, the problem is

94
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:09,800
Speaker 6: you're going to become just like them. They're rubbing off

95
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:13,800
Speaker 6: on you. You need to disconnect from people that are

96
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:18,960
Speaker 6: hindering your growth, limiting your potential, causing you to compromise

97
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:21,719
Speaker 6: and find some fever connections.

98
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 4: People that are.

99
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:26,600
Speaker 6: Going places, people that are at another level, people that

100
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 6: have what you're dreaming about.

101
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:31,720
Speaker 4: You need some eagles in your life.

102
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 6: You cannot hang around with chickens and reach your destiny.

103
00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:39,960
Speaker 6: You can't spend all your free time with crows, people

104
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:45,240
Speaker 6: that complain or turkeys, people that have accepted mediocrity.

105
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:48,279
Speaker 4: You need people who are soaring, people.

106
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:51,159
Speaker 6: That are taking new ground, people that are out of debt,

107
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:55,039
Speaker 6: that think bigger than you, people that are exposing you

108
00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 6: to levels that you've never seen. A few years ago,

109
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:01,400
Speaker 6: I went to this meeting eating with a man that

110
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:05,840
Speaker 6: runs television networks, a friend of mine. They were negotiating

111
00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:09,400
Speaker 6: a contract for programming. He said, I want to offer

112
00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:13,720
Speaker 6: eighty million dollars. Almost fell out of my chair. I

113
00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:15,760
Speaker 6: thought it was a big deal that we had spent

114
00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:18,960
Speaker 6: eighty thousand dollars to buy a screen for the church.

115
00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:23,080
Speaker 6: They talked about these huge numbers like I talked about

116
00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:23,920
Speaker 6: buying a pair.

117
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:27,920
Speaker 4: Of tennis shoes. I didn't realize it, but God was.

118
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:32,160
Speaker 6: Expanding my vision. He was using that man to enlarge

119
00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:36,599
Speaker 6: my thinking. After the meeting, I was about to tell him, Wow,

120
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:40,960
Speaker 6: those were some incredibly big numbers. I felt something right

121
00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:44,880
Speaker 6: down in here. Say Joel, zip it up. When God

122
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:47,839
Speaker 6: puts you with a bunch of eagles, don't have a

123
00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 6: chicken mentality. Don't start talking about how you've never seen

124
00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:56,240
Speaker 6: anything like that, how that could never happen for you.

125
00:06:57,200 --> 00:07:00,760
Speaker 6: Let it take root on the inside. Breathe it in,

126
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:04,520
Speaker 6: get used to it. That's where God is taking you.

127
00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:08,640
Speaker 6: That's why he's exposing you to new levels, not to

128
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:11,640
Speaker 6: just impress you, not to just show you how the

129
00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:15,600
Speaker 6: other half live, but to get you prepared in your thinking.

130
00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:19,480
Speaker 4: You have to make room for the new things God

131
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:20,320
Speaker 4: has in store.

132
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:24,200
Speaker 6: If you live with a limited vision, thinking it could

133
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:28,000
Speaker 6: never happen, it's too far out, then you're right, it's

134
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:31,880
Speaker 6: not going to happen. You'll never go where you can't

135
00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:36,080
Speaker 6: accept and God gave you that favor connection to give

136
00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:39,160
Speaker 6: you a glimpse into the next level, to show you

137
00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:42,280
Speaker 6: where He's about to take you. Now do your part

138
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:46,920
Speaker 6: and get in agreement with God. About five years after that meeting,

139
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:50,960
Speaker 6: we acquired this place, the former Compact Center, And when

140
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:53,800
Speaker 6: I found out it was going to cost about one

141
00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:58,080
Speaker 6: hundred and twenty million dollars to purchase and renovate, I

142
00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:01,920
Speaker 6: didn't fall apart. I was and intimidated. I thought, God,

143
00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:04,040
Speaker 6: you did it for my friend, you can do it

144
00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:04,320
Speaker 6: for me.

145
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:06,280
Speaker 4: But had I not.

146
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:10,480
Speaker 6: Connected with that man, had I only spent time with

147
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:13,000
Speaker 6: people at my same level, I wouldn't be here.

148
00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:15,440
Speaker 4: My mind wouldn't have been prepared.

149
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:20,000
Speaker 6: You need people that think bigger than you, that dream bigger,

150
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:24,040
Speaker 6: that believe bigger. If you're the smartest one in your group,

151
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:25,240
Speaker 6: your group.

152
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:26,560
Speaker 4: Is too small.

153
00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:30,360
Speaker 6: God has already lined up these favor connections for you,

154
00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:31,720
Speaker 6: people that are.

155
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:33,679
Speaker 4: Ordained to help you go further.

156
00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:38,839
Speaker 6: In the scripture, Naomi and Ruth were both widows. They

157
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:42,880
Speaker 6: were living in Bethlehem, very poor. Ruth would go out

158
00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:46,240
Speaker 6: into the fields each morning and pick up left over wheat.

159
00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:50,240
Speaker 6: It looked like this was their destiny. To just barely survive.

160
00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:53,560
Speaker 6: But Naomi saw a man named Boaz.

161
00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:55,840
Speaker 4: He was the owner of all the.

162
00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:59,240
Speaker 6: Fields, one of the wealthiest men in that area. She

163
00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:03,520
Speaker 6: not only recognized the favor on his life, but she

164
00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:04,559
Speaker 6: respected it.

165
00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:06,880
Speaker 4: She told Ruth, I want.

166
00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:10,160
Speaker 6: You to dress up, put on perfume, and go meet

167
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:14,480
Speaker 6: this man. She was saying, in effect, Boaz has favor.

168
00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:16,600
Speaker 4: We need to connect with him.

169
00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:20,679
Speaker 6: Ruth not only met Boas, but they fell in love

170
00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:26,160
Speaker 6: and eventually were married. Because she connected with someone with favor,

171
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:30,640
Speaker 6: she had more favor than she ever imagined. When you

172
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:35,119
Speaker 6: recognize the favor on a person's life and you respect

173
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:39,679
Speaker 6: that favor by connecting with it, by honoring them, learning

174
00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:44,000
Speaker 6: from them, that favor will come back to you. Naomi

175
00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:47,400
Speaker 6: could have thought, oh, Boas, he's wealthy, he's busy, not

176
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:47,839
Speaker 6: gonna have.

177
00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:48,960
Speaker 4: Anything to do with us.

178
00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:53,040
Speaker 6: She could have dismissed it and just stayed with the

179
00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:54,520
Speaker 6: friends where she was comfortable.

180
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:56,400
Speaker 4: We wouldn't be talking about her.

181
00:09:57,000 --> 00:10:01,800
Speaker 6: She recognized Boas was an eager She was willing to

182
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:04,079
Speaker 6: get out of her comfort zone.

183
00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:04,720
Speaker 4: No doubt.

184
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:07,960
Speaker 6: She had to break away from a few chickens, spend

185
00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:11,320
Speaker 6: less time with a couple turkeys, she took these steps

186
00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:15,360
Speaker 6: of faith and connected with an ego. That's what opened

187
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:18,240
Speaker 6: new doors and took her and root to a new level.

188
00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:22,040
Speaker 6: Are there favor connections God has put in your life

189
00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:25,199
Speaker 6: that you're overlooking people that have what you.

190
00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:30,199
Speaker 4: Want, that are further along. Don't be intimidated by their success.

191
00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:31,520
Speaker 4: Be inspired.

192
00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:35,920
Speaker 6: God put them there so you could connect. If you

193
00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:38,679
Speaker 6: will honor them, learn from them.

194
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:40,719
Speaker 4: Then because you're connected to.

195
00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:45,680
Speaker 6: Someone with more favor, more influence, more vision, like Ruth

196
00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:49,600
Speaker 6: in Naomi, that favor will flow down to you. You

197
00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:54,040
Speaker 6: will see new doors open, influence in greater ways, Promotion

198
00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:56,959
Speaker 6: that you couldn't have reached on your own. It came

199
00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:02,199
Speaker 6: because of a favor connection. What you sew into you're

200
00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:06,880
Speaker 6: going to reap. If you sow into worry connections, people

201
00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:10,640
Speaker 6: that are always upset, anxious, worried, you're going to reap worry.

202
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:15,720
Speaker 6: If you sow into compromised connections, people that are pulling

203
00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:18,840
Speaker 6: you down, causing you to give in to temptation, you're

204
00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:23,040
Speaker 6: going to reap compromise. If you sow into gossip connections,

205
00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:28,400
Speaker 6: critical connections, people that talk bad about the bass, complain

206
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:33,680
Speaker 6: about life, you're going to reap a negative, limited, discouraging life.

207
00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:39,160
Speaker 6: But if you sow into these favor connections, into eagles,

208
00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:44,199
Speaker 6: into people that are blessed, successful, happy, people that have

209
00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:46,920
Speaker 6: been where you want to go, that are out of debt,

210
00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:52,439
Speaker 6: building orphanages, paying off people's houses, expanding their businesses, you're

211
00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:57,280
Speaker 6: going to reap favor, increase new levels. We all have

212
00:11:57,520 --> 00:12:01,959
Speaker 6: our friends, we have peers, hopefully we have people were helping,

213
00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:06,400
Speaker 6: people were mentoring. That's important, but we should have a

214
00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:10,520
Speaker 6: few of these favor connections, people that are far ahead

215
00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:13,440
Speaker 6: of us in the natural. It looks like we could

216
00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:17,640
Speaker 6: never get there. That connection is the seed God is

217
00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:20,800
Speaker 6: going to use to take you where you've never dreamed.

218
00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:24,440
Speaker 6: A pastor friend of mine here in Houston had a

219
00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:28,760
Speaker 6: church of several hundred people. He started it fifteen years ago,

220
00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:31,600
Speaker 6: and they had been at that same number for years.

221
00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:34,360
Speaker 6: It looked like they had reached their limits. That's all

222
00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:38,720
Speaker 6: they'd ever had. He saw this pastor in California that

223
00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:40,160
Speaker 6: had a large church.

224
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:43,680
Speaker 4: He was so impressed by it. He flew out there

225
00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:45,319
Speaker 4: just to attend a service.

226
00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:49,760
Speaker 6: He sat in the auditorium, looked around and breathed it

227
00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:55,160
Speaker 6: all in. Was very inspiring. Never seen anything that large.

228
00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:58,240
Speaker 4: After the service, he was able to meet the pastor.

229
00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:02,120
Speaker 6: He gave him a small donation that his church had

230
00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:06,720
Speaker 6: taken up for their ministry. Every month, he started flying

231
00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:10,319
Speaker 6: out to California just to attend a service and give

232
00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:14,440
Speaker 6: a donation. He had plenty of pastor friends here in Houston,

233
00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:17,880
Speaker 6: had good members in his church, had a great family.

234
00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:22,440
Speaker 6: But he understood to reach a new level, you have

235
00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:26,240
Speaker 6: to have some fever connections. You need to be so

236
00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:31,800
Speaker 6: in time, energy, resources, honor into people that have what

237
00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:37,480
Speaker 6: you want. The anointing you respect is the anointing.

238
00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:37,880
Speaker 4: You will attract.

239
00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:42,719
Speaker 6: This man sewed into a vision much larger than his.

240
00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:47,719
Speaker 6: He could have been jealous of the man, intimidated competitive.

241
00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:51,600
Speaker 4: Instead, he celebrated what he was doing. He cheered him on.

242
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:56,320
Speaker 6: It wasn't long before his church started to grow. He

243
00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:59,600
Speaker 6: went from three hundred to five hundred, from five hundred

244
00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:03,480
Speaker 6: to a thou from a thousand to several thousand. Now

245
00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:06,560
Speaker 6: his church is larger than the church in California.

246
00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:07,840
Speaker 4: He outgrew that man.

247
00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:11,040
Speaker 6: I don't believe it would have happened if he had

248
00:14:11,040 --> 00:14:15,120
Speaker 6: not sown into his ministry. Now I don't mean just finances.

249
00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:21,640
Speaker 6: He sowed honor, respect, encouragement. He valued and esteemed what

250
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:24,920
Speaker 6: that man had built. But when we see people that

251
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:30,000
Speaker 6: are more successful, more talented, more blessed, it's easy to

252
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:34,760
Speaker 6: get jealous, try to compete, discredit them, talk about what

253
00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:38,400
Speaker 6: they're doing wrong, how they're not talented, they're just lucky.

254
00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:39,400
Speaker 4: Here's the key.

255
00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:43,680
Speaker 6: If you can't celebrate other people's success, you will never

256
00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:48,040
Speaker 6: get to where they are. If you get jealous, try

257
00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:52,400
Speaker 6: to outperform them, intimidated, you'll get stuck.

258
00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:53,400
Speaker 4: It's a test.

259
00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:59,000
Speaker 6: God brings these favor connections across our path. Are you

260
00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:02,480
Speaker 6: secure enough and who you are to honor them, to

261
00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:06,600
Speaker 6: respect them, to cheer them on, or will your pride

262
00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:10,680
Speaker 6: keep you from connecting with their favor? The problem is

263
00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:15,560
Speaker 6: your destiny is tied to certain people. When you connect

264
00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:18,360
Speaker 6: with the favor on their life, that's going to cause

265
00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:19,480
Speaker 6: you to rise higher.

266
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:22,760
Speaker 4: But if we want humble ourselves, if.

267
00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:25,200
Speaker 6: We think I'm as smart as them, I'm not going

268
00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:27,560
Speaker 6: to celebrate them, Joel, they should be celebrating me.

269
00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:29,520
Speaker 4: That's going to limit our growth.

270
00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:33,960
Speaker 6: What you're connected to eventually is going to come back

271
00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:37,560
Speaker 6: to you. Don't be small minded where you have to

272
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:41,240
Speaker 6: be the smartest one in your circle. If you're only

273
00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:44,880
Speaker 6: sowing into your level, then your level is all that's

274
00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:45,760
Speaker 6: going to come back.

275
00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:49,400
Speaker 4: You need to sow into where you want to go.

276
00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:54,840
Speaker 6: Swallow your pride and so honor into that supervisor at work,

277
00:15:55,600 --> 00:16:00,880
Speaker 6: so respect into that colleague that's really talented in your life.

278
00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:04,960
Speaker 6: By accident, God put them there as a favor connection.

279
00:16:05,760 --> 00:16:09,360
Speaker 6: As you connect to them, new doors will open for you,

280
00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:13,600
Speaker 6: New talents will come out, new levels. They are instrumental

281
00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:17,600
Speaker 6: in you reaching the fullness of your destiny. But too

282
00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:21,360
Speaker 6: often when we see someone that's further along, someone that's

283
00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:25,520
Speaker 6: more blessed, instead of being inspired, we can get discouraged,

284
00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:29,720
Speaker 6: thinking we could never get there. God wouldn't have brought

285
00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:33,000
Speaker 6: them across your path if he wasn't about to take

286
00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:37,200
Speaker 6: you higher. The favor on their life is an indication.

287
00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:38,920
Speaker 4: Of what God is about to do in yours.

288
00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:43,480
Speaker 6: In the scripture, when they poured oil on erin the

289
00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:46,960
Speaker 6: high priests on his head, it flowed down to the

290
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:51,440
Speaker 6: rest of his body. This is symbolic. Oil represents favor.

291
00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:56,160
Speaker 6: When you're connected with people with favor, the more blessed

292
00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:58,080
Speaker 6: they are, the more blessed you'll be.

293
00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:02,480
Speaker 4: That oil will flow down to you. When we understand this.

294
00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:06,600
Speaker 6: It's easy to celebrate those that are ahead. We know

295
00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:11,720
Speaker 6: because we're honoring them, sewing into them as they rise higher.

296
00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:16,160
Speaker 6: Because we're connected, we're going to rise higher. That favor

297
00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:17,560
Speaker 6: is going to flow down to us.

298
00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:19,080
Speaker 4: Like that pastor.

299
00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:23,240
Speaker 6: There will be times where you surpass what you're honoring,

300
00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:28,280
Speaker 6: you overtake what you're celebrating. When I first started ministering,

301
00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:32,480
Speaker 6: I was very nervous and unsure of myself. I didn't

302
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:35,760
Speaker 6: have the training or the experience. But there were several

303
00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:39,640
Speaker 6: very prominent ministers that I knew from growing up.

304
00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:43,240
Speaker 4: I listened to their messages over and over.

305
00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:46,840
Speaker 6: I would send them notes telling them how much they

306
00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:50,960
Speaker 6: had helped men, how much I admired and respected them.

307
00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:54,880
Speaker 6: This one man, at least to me, he was a legend.

308
00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:58,000
Speaker 6: He was so far ahead of me. I was amazed

309
00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:00,879
Speaker 6: at what he'd accomplished and how respec affected he was.

310
00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:06,440
Speaker 6: I say this with humility, But now, nearly twenty years later,

311
00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:08,600
Speaker 6: God has taken me further than him.

312
00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:10,119
Speaker 4: What am I saying?

313
00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:13,960
Speaker 6: When you celebrate those that are ahead of you, you

314
00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:18,040
Speaker 6: show honor, respect, then some of the favor on them.

315
00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:20,879
Speaker 4: It's going to come back to you. You'll look up

316
00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:22,720
Speaker 4: and think, how did I get here?

317
00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:27,399
Speaker 6: Part of it is the favor connection you connected with

318
00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:29,920
Speaker 6: someone that was where you wanted to go.

319
00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:34,480
Speaker 4: That's why you don't have to compete with people. You

320
00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:36,520
Speaker 4: don't have to try to outperform them.

321
00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:42,040
Speaker 6: You're not in competition with anyone except yourself. Let where

322
00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:45,080
Speaker 6: they are inspire you to be the best that you

323
00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:48,920
Speaker 6: can be. Like iron sharpens iron, they can sharpen you,

324
00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:52,960
Speaker 6: they can make you better. But when we start competing,

325
00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:57,520
Speaker 6: before long, we get jealous. Fine fault, try to discredit,

326
00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:02,400
Speaker 6: But here's the key. Pull somebody else down will never

327
00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:05,960
Speaker 6: make you rise higher. Trying to make them look bad.

328
00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:09,600
Speaker 6: Spreading rumors, magnifying their faults.

329
00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:10,359
Speaker 4: May feel good.

330
00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:14,560
Speaker 6: The problem is it's going to boomerang and come right.

331
00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:15,120
Speaker 4: Back to us.

332
00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:20,160
Speaker 6: If you sow disrespect, you'll reap disrespect. If you sow

333
00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:24,879
Speaker 6: spreading rumors, stirring up trouble, that's what you'll reap. A

334
00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:29,200
Speaker 6: much better approach is to celebrate those that are ahead.

335
00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:33,600
Speaker 6: How do you know they're not a favor connection somebody

336
00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:36,879
Speaker 6: God brought into your life so that you could rise higher.

337
00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:41,920
Speaker 6: If you're jealous, competitive, then you're letting what God meant

338
00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:44,440
Speaker 6: for your good to become something that's.

339
00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:46,520
Speaker 4: Holding your back. Turn it around.

340
00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:50,720
Speaker 6: Let's be people that celebrate success, that learn from those

341
00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:53,760
Speaker 6: that are ahead, that honor people that are blessed with

342
00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:58,600
Speaker 6: more influence. Elijah in the scripture, was a great prophet,

343
00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:02,840
Speaker 6: did amazing mirror. One day he was walking by a field,

344
00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:07,520
Speaker 6: he saw a young man named Elisha out plowing. He

345
00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:10,880
Speaker 6: told him to leave his animals and come with him. Well,

346
00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:14,040
Speaker 6: Elisha came from a well to do family. I'm sure

347
00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:18,040
Speaker 6: he had goals and dreams. Elijah wanted him to become

348
00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:21,639
Speaker 6: his assistant, basically, take care of him, bring him food,

349
00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:25,840
Speaker 6: set up his tent, feed his animals. Elisha could have thought,

350
00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:29,000
Speaker 6: no thanks, I'll stay here at my own place. He

351
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:33,120
Speaker 6: could have been too proud, but he recognized the favor

352
00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:34,359
Speaker 6: on Elijah's life.

353
00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:36,800
Speaker 4: He respected his anointing.

354
00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:41,840
Speaker 6: He wasn't jealous, he didn't get bitter because he offered

355
00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:45,800
Speaker 6: him what seemed to be a low level position. For years,

356
00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:51,160
Speaker 6: he served Elijah with honor, watching after him, making sure

357
00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:55,320
Speaker 6: he was comfortable. What you sew into is what you're

358
00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:59,280
Speaker 6: going to reap when you sew into someone with great favor,

359
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:02,840
Speaker 6: going to reap some of that favor. When you honor

360
00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:06,520
Speaker 6: someone that has more influence, some of that influence is

361
00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:10,119
Speaker 6: going to come back to you. I'm sure Elisha's friends

362
00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:13,560
Speaker 6: came around saying, Elisha, what are you still doing here

363
00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:17,320
Speaker 6: serving this old man? You have your own dreams. Why

364
00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:19,960
Speaker 6: don't you start your own ministry? He's holding you back.

365
00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:22,959
Speaker 6: He could have let them talk him out of it,

366
00:21:23,359 --> 00:21:26,080
Speaker 6: thought he was wasting his time, but he just kept

367
00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:32,760
Speaker 6: on sewing, honoring, respecting the favor connection. Well, eventually Elijah

368
00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:37,240
Speaker 6: was taken to heaven in a whirlwind. Elisha received a

369
00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:40,719
Speaker 6: double portion of his anointing. He didn't just get the

370
00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:45,240
Speaker 6: favor on Elijah's life, he got twice the favor. Some

371
00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:50,240
Speaker 6: of these favor connections that you're sewing into giving, serving, honoring,

372
00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:54,240
Speaker 6: your time is coming. Like with Elisha, You're not just

373
00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:56,040
Speaker 6: going to go to the level where they are.

374
00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:57,200
Speaker 4: You're going to go further.

375
00:21:57,920 --> 00:22:02,800
Speaker 6: Double the influence, double the faith, double the resources. This

376
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:06,160
Speaker 6: is why the enemy works overtime to try to get

377
00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:09,760
Speaker 6: us jealous of each other, competing, trying to pull each

378
00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:13,080
Speaker 6: other down. He wants us to get stuck where we are.

379
00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:18,040
Speaker 6: It's very freeing when you can celebrate those that are ahead,

380
00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:22,080
Speaker 6: knowing that the seeds you sow into them, the honor,

381
00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:25,360
Speaker 6: the respect, the resources are going to come back to you.

382
00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:30,680
Speaker 6: But if you're only sowing into horizontal relationships people at

383
00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:34,120
Speaker 6: your same level, then you're going to see horizontal favor.

384
00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:37,600
Speaker 6: But when you're secure enough in who you are to

385
00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:41,280
Speaker 6: sow into vertical relationships people that are ahead of you,

386
00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:45,359
Speaker 6: you're going to read some of this vertical favor. Many

387
00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:50,400
Speaker 6: pastors sew into our ministry. They faithfully support and attend

388
00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:54,120
Speaker 6: to our events. They tell me again and again how

389
00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:57,560
Speaker 6: when they connected with us, their church started growing in

390
00:22:57,640 --> 00:23:02,120
Speaker 6: new ways. One man told me rec since twenty twelve,

391
00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:05,200
Speaker 6: he has gone from two hundred people to over six

392
00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:08,720
Speaker 6: thousand people. He said, Joel, I can pinpoint the exact

393
00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:11,840
Speaker 6: time it started, when we connected with you at your

394
00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:13,280
Speaker 6: Night of Hope in our city.

395
00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:14,760
Speaker 4: I'm not bragging.

396
00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:18,760
Speaker 6: This is a spiritual principle. God has people in your

397
00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:23,879
Speaker 6: life that are favor connections. You could be one relationship

398
00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:29,120
Speaker 6: away from a new level. Look around, find the people

399
00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:33,880
Speaker 6: that God is blessing. Don't be intimidated, don't be jealous,

400
00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:38,520
Speaker 6: connect with them. If you'll honor, respect, sew into them

401
00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:42,040
Speaker 6: that favor will come back to you. I know a

402
00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:45,520
Speaker 6: man that had a dream of being in the hospitality business.

403
00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:49,359
Speaker 6: He wanted to own hotels. When he was eighteen, he

404
00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:52,560
Speaker 6: met an older gentleman that owned one of the largest

405
00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:55,880
Speaker 6: hotel chains in the world. He convinced him to give

406
00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:58,480
Speaker 6: him a job working as a bellman at one of

407
00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:02,399
Speaker 6: his hotels. Every time this young man saw the owner,

408
00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:06,040
Speaker 6: he went overboard to take care of him, opening the door,

409
00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:12,679
Speaker 6: carrying his briefcase, constantly sewing, honoring, respecting. The owner loved

410
00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:16,640
Speaker 6: this young man kept promoting him. In his early thirties,

411
00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:19,879
Speaker 6: he left to start his own business. There was a

412
00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:24,919
Speaker 6: piece of very expensive real estate overlooking the ocean that

413
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:26,639
Speaker 6: this owner was planning.

414
00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:27,680
Speaker 4: On building a big hotel.

415
00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:31,120
Speaker 6: Well, this young man asked if he could buy that

416
00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:35,000
Speaker 6: property from him. This was their prime location that they

417
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:38,760
Speaker 6: were planning on this big project. The owner said, I

418
00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:41,480
Speaker 6: never dreamed I would do this, but you have been

419
00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:44,600
Speaker 6: so good to me. I want you to be successful.

420
00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:47,399
Speaker 6: I'm going to sell you this property. It had taken

421
00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:50,840
Speaker 6: them over ten years to acquire it. That young man

422
00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:56,160
Speaker 6: built a beautiful resort. It's incredibly successful today. He has

423
00:24:56,280 --> 00:25:00,760
Speaker 6: hotels all over the world. It all started when he

424
00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:05,960
Speaker 6: recognized a fever connection. There are people God has put

425
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:10,200
Speaker 6: in your life not to compete with, but to connect with.

426
00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:15,280
Speaker 6: They are instrumental in you rising higher. And this is

427
00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:18,399
Speaker 6: not about playing up to people trying to win them over.

428
00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:23,600
Speaker 6: It's about recognizing and respecting the fever that God's placed

429
00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:24,159
Speaker 6: on people.

430
00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:26,080
Speaker 4: Luke, Chapter five.

431
00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:30,240
Speaker 6: Jesus had just borrowed Peter's boat to teach the people

432
00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:33,960
Speaker 6: from the shore. When he finished, he told Peter to

433
00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:36,600
Speaker 6: launch out into the deep and he would catch a

434
00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:40,040
Speaker 6: great haul of fish. Well, Peter had fished all night,

435
00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:42,480
Speaker 6: but he went back out to try it again.

436
00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:46,520
Speaker 4: He caught so many fish that his net began to break.

437
00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:52,040
Speaker 6: Verse seven says Peter shouted for help, and his partners came.

438
00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:56,480
Speaker 6: Soon both boats were so loaded with fish they were

439
00:25:56,520 --> 00:25:58,600
Speaker 6: concerned the boats might sink.

440
00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:04,920
Speaker 4: Was blessed because he obeyed. He had favor. But notice

441
00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:07,120
Speaker 4: the favor didn't stop with him.

442
00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:11,520
Speaker 6: He caught so many fish that his partners, those that

443
00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:16,280
Speaker 6: were connected with him, they received the overflow. When you

444
00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:20,600
Speaker 6: connect with someone that's blessed, someone that's favored, as they.

445
00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:22,200
Speaker 4: Increase, you'll increase.

446
00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:27,159
Speaker 6: Peter's partners hadn't done anything to really deserve the fish.

447
00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:30,359
Speaker 4: Peter was the one that lent Jesus the boat.

448
00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:34,840
Speaker 6: God could have just sent enough fish to fill Peter's boat,

449
00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:38,800
Speaker 6: made sure Peter was paid back, but God on purpose

450
00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:42,840
Speaker 6: blessed Peter in such a way there would be overflow,

451
00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:47,320
Speaker 6: so all in partnership, all those connected.

452
00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:49,280
Speaker 4: Would see increase in favor as well.

453
00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:55,480
Speaker 6: Who you're connected to is extremely important. There are blessings

454
00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:59,080
Speaker 6: that belonged to you, that are attached to the people

455
00:26:59,280 --> 00:27:03,320
Speaker 6: God's place in your life. If you're not seeing any fish,

456
00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:07,760
Speaker 6: you need to evaluate who you're connected to. You may

457
00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:12,679
Speaker 6: need to disconnect from relationships that aren't producing any increase

458
00:27:13,119 --> 00:27:14,720
Speaker 6: and connect with people.

459
00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:17,040
Speaker 4: That are blessed, people that are seeing favor.

460
00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:22,040
Speaker 6: Peter's boat was not only full of fish, but his partner's.

461
00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:22,960
Speaker 4: Boat was full of fish.

462
00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:27,639
Speaker 6: You're going to become like who you're connected to again.

463
00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:31,280
Speaker 6: Are you connected to anyone that has what you want?

464
00:27:31,840 --> 00:27:35,160
Speaker 6: People that are more blessed, people that are more successful.

465
00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:40,400
Speaker 6: Look around, find the favor connections in your life. Don't

466
00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:44,720
Speaker 6: be intimidated because they're further along, don't be jealous because

467
00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:49,200
Speaker 6: they have more. Celebrate them, Honor them, sew into them.

468
00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:53,640
Speaker 6: If you'll do this, I believe and declare because you're

469
00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:57,240
