00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:30,960
Speaker 1: you again for coming out. And I like to start

12
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:34,199
Speaker 1: with something funny. Heard about this young man. He was

13
00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:37,599
Speaker 1: talking to God and he said, God, what's a million

14
00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:41,640
Speaker 1: years like to you? God said, son, a million years

15
00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:45,520
Speaker 1: to me is like one second to you. He said, well, God,

16
00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:47,600
Speaker 1: what's a million dollars.

17
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:47,760
Speaker 2: Like to you?

18
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:50,760
Speaker 1: He said, Son, a million dollars to.

19
00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:52,720
Speaker 2: Me is like one penny to you.

20
00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:55,600
Speaker 1: Thought about it a moment, finally got his nerve byup.

21
00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:59,400
Speaker 1: He said, God, would you give me a penny? God

22
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:04,240
Speaker 1: said sure, just a second. Hold up your bible, say

23
00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:04,640
Speaker 1: it like.

24
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:05,120
Speaker 2: You mean it.

25
00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:08,760
Speaker 1: This is my Bible. I am what it says I am.

26
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:11,600
Speaker 1: I have what it says I have. I can do

27
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:14,200
Speaker 1: what it says I can do. Today I will be

28
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:17,880
Speaker 1: taught the word of God. I boldly confess my mind

29
00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:21,120
Speaker 1: is alert, my heart is receptive. I will never be

30
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:25,920
Speaker 1: the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you. I want

31
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:29,480
Speaker 1: to talk to you today about how a flood is coming.

32
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:34,000
Speaker 1: Sometimes on the news, the weather person will announce that

33
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:38,360
Speaker 1: we're under a flash flood warning. That means conditions are

34
00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:42,200
Speaker 1: right for possible flooding. Water could get out of its

35
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:46,800
Speaker 1: normal boundaries, it could overflow increase in such a way

36
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:52,240
Speaker 1: that drainage and byus are overwhelmed. Just like that weather person,

37
00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:55,600
Speaker 1: I'm here to announce to you today you're under a

38
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 1: flash flood warning.

39
00:01:57,920 --> 00:01:59,480
Speaker 2: Conditions are just right.

40
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:04,720
Speaker 1: You've honored God, you've been faithful, You've passed the test.

41
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:08,080
Speaker 1: Now God is saying there's about to be a flood,

42
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:11,600
Speaker 1: but not with water. You're going to see a flood

43
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:17,040
Speaker 1: of my goodness, a flood of opportunity, a flood of healing.

44
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:22,120
Speaker 1: A flood of good breaks to where you're overwhelmed.

45
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:22,320
Speaker 2: With God's favor.

46
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:26,440
Speaker 1: It's beyond your expectations, puts you into overflow.

47
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 2: Now, you may have experienced a lot of.

48
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:33,400
Speaker 1: Negative things in the past, bad breaks, disappointments, heartache.

49
00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:34,840
Speaker 2: It's easy to get.

50
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 1: Discouraged and let that overwhelm you. The negative thoughts will

51
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:42,200
Speaker 1: tell you you'll never get well. You saw the medical report,

52
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:46,280
Speaker 1: You'll never rise any higher and accomplish your dreams.

53
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:49,160
Speaker 2: You've gone as far as you can go. Now you

54
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:52,400
Speaker 2: need to get ready. Things have shifted. You're about to

55
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:53,239
Speaker 2: come into this.

56
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:57,720
Speaker 1: Flash flood where suddenly you meet the right person. You

57
00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:02,079
Speaker 1: qualify for that new home, you get accepted in that college,

58
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:05,880
Speaker 1: you're chosen as the lead role in that new program,

59
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:09,160
Speaker 1: your song hits the radio, and your career takes all.

60
00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:13,440
Speaker 1: You're going to see the surpassing greatness of God's favor.

61
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:17,359
Speaker 1: It's going to take you beyond your normal boundaries. It's

62
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:20,280
Speaker 1: going to supersede what the medical report says.

63
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:25,320
Speaker 2: It's going to supersede your talent, your education, your experience.

64
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:28,080
Speaker 1: It's going to thrust you to a level that you

65
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:30,799
Speaker 1: could have never gotten to on your own. It's not

66
00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:34,119
Speaker 1: going to be a little drizzle, a little sprinkle. It's

67
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:37,720
Speaker 1: going to be a flood of favor, a flood of talent,

68
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:41,480
Speaker 1: a flood of ideas, a flood of opportunity. Why don't

69
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:44,240
Speaker 1: you get this down in your spirit, A flood of

70
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:47,800
Speaker 1: God's goodness, you said, Joel, you're just trying to get

71
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:51,320
Speaker 1: people's hopes up. I don't believe I will see this flood.

72
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:53,200
Speaker 2: I don't believe that.

73
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:55,640
Speaker 1: Anything good's going to happen to me just because you're

74
00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:57,400
Speaker 1: saying this, then this is.

75
00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:01,800
Speaker 2: Not for you. This is for believer. This is for.

76
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:07,240
Speaker 1: People who know things have shifted in their favor, people

77
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 1: who know God can do exceedingly abundantly above and beyond.

78
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:13,280
Speaker 1: This is for people who get up in the morning

79
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:16,520
Speaker 1: and say, Father, thank you for a flood of your

80
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:19,560
Speaker 1: favor today, Lord, thank you for a flood of wisdom,

81
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:22,880
Speaker 1: a flood of healing, a flood of your goodness in

82
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:27,560
Speaker 1: my life. This is what David did first Chronicles, chapter fourteen.

83
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:31,600
Speaker 1: He was facing an impossible situation. He and his men

84
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:34,920
Speaker 1: were up against a huge army, the Philistines.

85
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:38,560
Speaker 2: They were greatly outnumbered in the natural they didn't have

86
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:39,120
Speaker 2: a chance.

87
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:42,760
Speaker 1: But God gave David the promise that he would go

88
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:46,560
Speaker 1: with them and they would defeat this army. David went

89
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 1: out and did just that. God gave them the victory.

90
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:53,880
Speaker 1: David was so overwhelmed with God's goodness he tried to

91
00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:58,440
Speaker 1: describe it. In verse eleven, he said, God has broken

92
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:02,960
Speaker 1: through to my enemies like the breaking fourth of water.

93
00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:09,479
Speaker 1: One translation says like a raging flood. Notice David likened

94
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:13,080
Speaker 1: God's power to a flood. He was saying, when God

95
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 1: shows up, it's going to be like a flood of favor,

96
00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:19,640
Speaker 1: a flood of strength, a flood of good breaks.

97
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:22,440
Speaker 2: Think about how powerful water is.

98
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:25,279
Speaker 1: Three or four feet of water can pick up a

99
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:28,720
Speaker 1: car that weighs thousands of pounds and move it all around.

100
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:32,960
Speaker 1: You've seen on these news reports during a huge flood,

101
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:37,359
Speaker 1: whole houses being swept away. Nothing can stop the force

102
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:40,840
Speaker 1: of that water. In the same way, you may have

103
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:46,599
Speaker 1: obstacles that look insurmountable, dreams that look unattainable. Let me

104
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:50,600
Speaker 1: encourage you, when God releases a flood of his power,

105
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:54,839
Speaker 1: nothing will be able to stop you. That sickness may

106
00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:58,680
Speaker 1: look big, but when God releases a flood of healing,

107
00:05:59,000 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 1: it doesn't stand a chance.

108
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:03,440
Speaker 2: Your opposition may be.

109
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 1: Stronger, better financed, better equipped, but when God opens up

110
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:10,760
Speaker 1: the floodgates, there'll be no match for you.

111
00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:12,680
Speaker 2: Or how about in your dreams.

112
00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:14,720
Speaker 1: You may not have the connections, you don't know the

113
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:15,799
Speaker 1: right people, you don't.

114
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:16,360
Speaker 2: Have the funding.

115
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:21,440
Speaker 1: But when God releases a flood of favor, people will

116
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:24,240
Speaker 1: come out of the woodwork to help you out. You

117
00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:27,240
Speaker 1: won't have to look for them good breaks, opportunity.

118
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:29,240
Speaker 2: The right people will search you out.

119
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:33,240
Speaker 1: You need to get ready not for a trickle, not

120
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:37,480
Speaker 1: a stream, not a river, but a flood of God's favor,

121
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:40,760
Speaker 1: a tidal wave of God's goodness.

122
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:42,400
Speaker 2: A tsunami of his increase.

123
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:45,680
Speaker 1: God is going to take you to a level that

124
00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:50,039
Speaker 1: you've never been before. It's going to be unprecedented. You're

125
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:53,320
Speaker 1: going to go further quicker than you ever dreamed of.

126
00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:57,360
Speaker 1: Exodus thirty four to ten talks about it. God said,

127
00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:00,839
Speaker 1: I'm going to do great things that I have never

128
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:05,320
Speaker 1: done before anywhere on Earth. People will see what great

129
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:08,840
Speaker 1: things I can do because I'm going to do something

130
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:12,800
Speaker 1: awesome for you. Now, when God uses the word awesome,

131
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:14,200
Speaker 1: he's not talking about.

132
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:16,240
Speaker 2: A trickle, a stream, a river.

133
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:20,720
Speaker 1: He's talking about a flood of favor, a flood of ideas,

134
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:21,920
Speaker 1: a flood of healing.

135
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:25,160
Speaker 2: It may not look like it in the natural.

136
00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:29,800
Speaker 1: Right now, but remember you're under a flash flood warning.

137
00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:32,280
Speaker 2: Any moment the heavens.

138
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:35,360
Speaker 1: Could open up, any moment you could meet the right person,

139
00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:40,240
Speaker 1: any moment God could do something awesome, something that you've

140
00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:44,040
Speaker 1: never seen before in your life. Now the real question

141
00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:48,440
Speaker 1: is will you let this seed take root? Every voice

142
00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:50,600
Speaker 1: will tell you why this is not for you.

143
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:53,520
Speaker 2: And I just flipping through the channels. Turn this guy on.

144
00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:55,360
Speaker 2: I don't even know who he is. He's not talking

145
00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:55,560
Speaker 2: to me.

146
00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:58,400
Speaker 1: I didn't even really plan on coming today, Joe, I

147
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:01,680
Speaker 1: just showed up. No, God, God has you here at

148
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:05,440
Speaker 1: the right place, at the right time, because he wants

149
00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:10,040
Speaker 1: to do something amazing in your life. You got to

150
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:13,200
Speaker 1: get an agreement and say, God, this is for me today.

151
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:15,880
Speaker 2: I'm raising my expectations.

152
00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:21,840
Speaker 1: I'm shaking off doubt, negativity, disappointments, self pity, little dreams,

153
00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:24,800
Speaker 1: little goals. God, I'm gonna make room for a flood

154
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:27,920
Speaker 1: of your goodness. I met a lady a couple of

155
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:30,480
Speaker 1: years ago after the service, and she was in town

156
00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:34,600
Speaker 1: for treatment at M. D. Anderson or Cancer Hospital, and

157
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:37,079
Speaker 1: she was going to have a tumor removed and then

158
00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:39,880
Speaker 1: she's going to have to take chemotherapy and all of

159
00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:41,120
Speaker 1: her medical records.

160
00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:45,520
Speaker 2: Blood work x rays were shipped from her hospital back

161
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:45,960
Speaker 2: at home.

162
00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:49,840
Speaker 1: The doctor she was using here wanted her to retake

163
00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:52,760
Speaker 1: all the test and redo all the x rays, just

164
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:57,119
Speaker 1: to double check and verify everything. She was already scheduled

165
00:08:57,120 --> 00:08:59,680
Speaker 1: for surgery when the doctor called her in.

166
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:02,200
Speaker 2: He couldn't find the tumor anymore.

167
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:05,960
Speaker 1: Was very clear on one X ray, but on this

168
00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:09,480
Speaker 1: new one couldn't see anything. He said, I've been doing

169
00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:11,160
Speaker 1: this for twenty six years.

170
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:15,200
Speaker 2: I have never seen anything like this before. What was that?

171
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:19,760
Speaker 1: A flood of healing, A flood of restoration. Friends, God

172
00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:25,040
Speaker 1: can do what medicine cannot do. God made your body.

173
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:28,120
Speaker 1: He has you in the palm of his hand. The

174
00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:31,800
Speaker 1: good news is God has the final say. He said,

175
00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:33,880
Speaker 1: the number of your days.

176
00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:34,640
Speaker 2: I will fulfill.

177
00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:38,800
Speaker 1: That means sickness doesn't determine how long you're going to live.

178
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:42,800
Speaker 1: God does nothing can snatch you out of his hand.

179
00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:45,520
Speaker 2: If it's not your time to go, then you're not

180
00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:46,080
Speaker 2: going to go.

181
00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:50,520
Speaker 1: You may be facing a major illness doesn't look good

182
00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:54,280
Speaker 1: in the natural, but you're under a flash flood warning.

183
00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:57,800
Speaker 1: Any moment you can see a flood of healing, any

184
00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:02,640
Speaker 1: moment God could turn that around. Isaiah said, when the

185
00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:05,880
Speaker 1: enemy comes in like a flood, the spirit.

186
00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:07,400
Speaker 2: Of God will raise up a barrier.

187
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:13,720
Speaker 1: Several commentaries believe that the comma was misplaced during translation.

188
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:17,320
Speaker 1: Instead of reading when the enemy comes in like a

189
00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:21,400
Speaker 1: flood comma, they believe the comma should have been placed

190
00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:25,400
Speaker 1: after the word end. It would say when the enemy

191
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:29,560
Speaker 1: comes in like a flood, God's spirit will raise up

192
00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:30,040
Speaker 1: a barrier.

193
00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:32,400
Speaker 2: In other words, the.

194
00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:36,040
Speaker 1: Emphasis on the flood is on God's power and not

195
00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:41,640
Speaker 1: the enemies. I've learned when the enemy attacks, God reacts.

196
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:43,480
Speaker 2: God doesn't just sit back.

197
00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:45,800
Speaker 1: Well, I wonder what's gonna happen, wonder what they're gonna do.

198
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:47,280
Speaker 2: No, God goes to work.

199
00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:51,959
Speaker 1: You are his most prized possession, it says in Psalms.

200
00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:55,120
Speaker 1: God is close to those that are hurting. God is

201
00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:58,719
Speaker 1: close to the broken hearted. God knows when you got

202
00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:02,480
Speaker 1: a bad medical report, knows when you're struggling in your finances.

203
00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:06,120
Speaker 1: He knows when you're being mistreated. You may not see

204
00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:08,400
Speaker 1: anything happening, but you can be assured.

205
00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:12,480
Speaker 2: Almighty God not only is aware, but he is at work.

206
00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:16,199
Speaker 1: He already has the solution if you will stay in

207
00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:19,480
Speaker 1: faith at the right time, he will release a flood

208
00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:23,400
Speaker 1: of his power, a flood of healing, a flood of restoration.

209
00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:26,040
Speaker 1: He'll not only bring you out, he'll bring you out

210
00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:29,040
Speaker 1: better off than you were before. But one of the

211
00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:32,240
Speaker 1: keys is we have to keep the right perspective. It's

212
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:35,520
Speaker 1: easy to focus on how big the problem is and

213
00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:38,920
Speaker 1: never gonna get well, Joel, it's impossible. I'm never gonna

214
00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:42,920
Speaker 1: get out of debt, this setback, this loss of income,

215
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:46,400
Speaker 1: this unexpected bill, it's going to be the end of me. No,

216
00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:50,400
Speaker 1: that problem may feel overwhelming, but it is not.

217
00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:51,079
Speaker 2: The flood.

218
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:55,559
Speaker 1: The debt, the sickness, the opposition is like a trickle.

219
00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:57,439
Speaker 2: Water barely even flowing.

220
00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:03,760
Speaker 1: But God's power, the promotion, the healing, the breakthrough, the restoration, is.

221
00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:04,600
Speaker 2: Like a flood.

222
00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:09,240
Speaker 1: That's the tidal wave that's headed towards you. It's just

223
00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:12,520
Speaker 1: a matter of time before it shows up, and when

224
00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:15,160
Speaker 1: it does, it won't be any contest.

225
00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:19,520
Speaker 2: It's like a drop of water compared to the whole ocean. Now,

226
00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:21,120
Speaker 2: all through the day, when you're.

227
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:25,520
Speaker 1: Tempted to worry, tempted to be frustrated, switch over into faith.

228
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:29,560
Speaker 2: Lord, Thank you for a flood of your favor. God,

229
00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:30,280
Speaker 2: I know you've.

230
00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:32,520
Speaker 1: Got me in the palm of your hand, and Lord,

231
00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:35,120
Speaker 1: I just want to think it in advance, that you're

232
00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:38,840
Speaker 1: releasing a flood of your power that will suddenly.

233
00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:39,200
Speaker 2: Turn this around.

234
00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:45,280
Speaker 1: That's what David did Psalm one twelve. When darkness overtakes

235
00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:49,720
Speaker 1: the godly light will come bursting in. Notice it's not

236
00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:53,160
Speaker 1: gonna trickle in. I'm not going to just barely get there. No,

237
00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:57,320
Speaker 1: like a flood, like the breaking forth of waters. It's

238
00:12:57,360 --> 00:12:58,640
Speaker 1: gonna come bursting in.

239
00:12:59,559 --> 00:12:59,960
Speaker 2: That's simple.

240
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:03,720
Speaker 1: Well, he means suddenly you're going to get well, Suddenly

241
00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:06,760
Speaker 1: you meet the right person, Suddenly you're able to pay

242
00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:10,400
Speaker 1: your house off. Our attitude should be. My child may

243
00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:14,720
Speaker 1: be off course, making poor decisions, but I'm expecting.

244
00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:17,160
Speaker 2: A flood of God's mercy to bring him back.

245
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:19,920
Speaker 1: Or my house may have been on the market for

246
00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:23,360
Speaker 1: a year still hasn't sold, but I'm expecting a flood

247
00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:24,359
Speaker 1: of favor.

248
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:25,960
Speaker 2: To cause it to stand out and sell.

249
00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:29,640
Speaker 1: Business may be slow, but I'm expecting a flood of

250
00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:32,959
Speaker 1: new clients, a flood of sales, a flood of promotion.

251
00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:37,520
Speaker 1: In the midst of that difficulty. Don't get discouraged. Your

252
00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:43,000
Speaker 1: inprime position to see a flood of God's goodness. Lady

253
00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:44,560
Speaker 1: came up to me a while back, and she was

254
00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:48,480
Speaker 1: very excited. She had a family member that needed a

255
00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:52,440
Speaker 1: series of surgeries. It was vital for this person to

256
00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:55,400
Speaker 1: live a productive life, but it was going to cost

257
00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:59,760
Speaker 1: four hundred thousand dollars. It wasn't covered by their insurance.

258
00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:04,199
Speaker 1: This family didn't have that kind of extra money. This lady,

259
00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:08,199
Speaker 1: month after month, she kept praying, believe it. She didn't

260
00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:11,080
Speaker 1: focus on the size of her problem. She focused on

261
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:14,160
Speaker 1: the size of her God. She didn't need a trickle,

262
00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:18,480
Speaker 1: a stream, a river. She needed a flood of God's goodness.

263
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:22,960
Speaker 1: One day, her employer called her in. She'd worked for

264
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:26,280
Speaker 1: this company for over thirty years. She didn't even know

265
00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:29,680
Speaker 1: they knew about the problem. But they said, you've been

266
00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:32,640
Speaker 1: so good to us, so faithful to this company. We've

267
00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:36,520
Speaker 1: decided that we are going to underwrite the series of

268
00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:40,120
Speaker 1: surgeries for your family member four hundred thousand dollars.

269
00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:43,720
Speaker 2: What was that? A tidal wave of God's.

270
00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:49,440
Speaker 1: Goodness, like a flood, God's favor overtook her. Well, hey,

271
00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:51,920
Speaker 1: you said, Joel, that never happened for me. I never

272
00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:54,600
Speaker 1: get any good breaks. Four hundred thousand dollars. My boss

273
00:14:54,600 --> 00:14:59,080
Speaker 1: doesn't even like me. Listen, it doesn't matter who likes

274
00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:01,720
Speaker 1: you or who does do like you. The main thing

275
00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:07,080
Speaker 1: is Almighty God likes you. He's accepted you, He's approved you.

276
00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:11,360
Speaker 1: He's already surrounded you with his favor like a shield.

277
00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:14,680
Speaker 1: Promotion doesn't come from people, It comes from God.

278
00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:16,200
Speaker 2: If you'll be.

279
00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:21,120
Speaker 1: Bold enough to believe, God has tidle waves of blessings,

280
00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:25,680
Speaker 1: he has floods of favor in your future. That's what

281
00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:28,560
Speaker 1: happened to one of our staff members. Craig and his

282
00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:32,400
Speaker 1: wife Samantha have a nine year old son named Connor.

283
00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:35,560
Speaker 1: Connor is a very handsome, fun young man.

284
00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:36,920
Speaker 2: He has autism.

285
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:40,680
Speaker 1: When he was five years old, he had never spoken

286
00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:44,480
Speaker 1: a full paragraph before. In fact, he didn't really speak

287
00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:47,680
Speaker 1: incomplete sentences. He would speak a phrase or two here

288
00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:50,640
Speaker 1: or there, maybe two or three words together, but not

289
00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:55,280
Speaker 1: much more than that. Day after day, Craig, Samantha, the

290
00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:59,000
Speaker 1: other children, they would speak faith over Connor, telling him

291
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:01,640
Speaker 1: you can do all things through Christ. You are more

292
00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:05,600
Speaker 1: than a conquer They were expecting a flood of God's favor.

293
00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:10,080
Speaker 1: Every night, before bedtime, either Craig or Samantha would go

294
00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:12,240
Speaker 1: up and read a couple of books with Connor and

295
00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:15,400
Speaker 1: pray together, and then put him to bed. One night,

296
00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:18,520
Speaker 1: Samantha had just finished reading and praying and was about

297
00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:22,120
Speaker 1: to leave the room. She heard Connor start to speak.

298
00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:26,120
Speaker 1: She listened carefully, and he was speaking so clearly and

299
00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:30,280
Speaker 1: so fluently. She ran and got the video camera and

300
00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:34,800
Speaker 1: recorded the first full paragraph that Connor had ever spoken.

301
00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:38,280
Speaker 2: He was saying, this is my Bible. I am what

302
00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:40,760
Speaker 2: it says. I am. I have what it says I have.

303
00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:45,640
Speaker 2: He quoted word for word that confession we make at

304
00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:47,920
Speaker 2: the start of every service. What was that?

305
00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:52,920
Speaker 1: Like a flood? God's favor overtook Connor. Craig told me

306
00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:56,760
Speaker 1: how they would take DVDs of my messages home every week,

307
00:16:56,840 --> 00:17:00,960
Speaker 1: and Connor would watch them again and again when he

308
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:04,560
Speaker 1: turned on cartoons. He'd normally only watched five or ten minutes,

309
00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:06,960
Speaker 1: but he'd watched my whole thirty.

310
00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:08,440
Speaker 2: Minute message over and over.

311
00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:12,119
Speaker 1: I told Craig, when a five year old chooses me

312
00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:14,080
Speaker 1: over Barney, that makes.

313
00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:18,000
Speaker 2: Me feel really good. But Connor still has a way

314
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:18,320
Speaker 2: to go.

315
00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:22,560
Speaker 1: But we know what God started he will finish. Friends,

316
00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:26,960
Speaker 1: God wants to release a flood of his power. Not

317
00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:29,919
Speaker 1: a trickle, not a stream, not a river, but a

318
00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:34,119
Speaker 1: flood of increase, a flood of healing, a flood of ideas.

319
00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:38,720
Speaker 1: Some of you are believing too small. You've settled where

320
00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:41,240
Speaker 1: you are, thinking that you've reached your limits.

321
00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:42,640
Speaker 2: Your child could.

322
00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:45,560
Speaker 1: Never get better, and you could never overcome that obstacle.

323
00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:47,280
Speaker 2: No, you need to get ready.

324
00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:51,119
Speaker 1: I can see something in your future through my eyes

325
00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:54,439
Speaker 1: of faith. I can see a tidal wave come in

326
00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:58,000
Speaker 1: your way. It's not a wave of defeat, a wave

327
00:17:58,040 --> 00:18:00,840
Speaker 1: of bad breaks, a wave of more of the same now.

328
00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:01,840
Speaker 2: Things have shifted.

329
00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:05,719
Speaker 1: It's a wave of increase, a wave of favor, a

330
00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:10,400
Speaker 1: wave of healing. It's God releasing his goodness like a flood.

331
00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:13,960
Speaker 1: It's going to help you to overcome that obstacle. It's

332
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:16,440
Speaker 1: going to cause you to accomplish your dreams.

333
00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:18,760
Speaker 2: Why don't you dare to believe?

334
00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:23,560
Speaker 1: If you think trickle, you're going to receive trickle. If

335
00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:25,080
Speaker 1: you think the problem's too.

336
00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:26,480
Speaker 2: Big, it's going to keep you defeated.

337
00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:29,639
Speaker 1: But if you could just switch over into faith and

338
00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:31,920
Speaker 1: start thinking flood, then.

339
00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:33,080
Speaker 2: God could show you a flood.

340
00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:36,920
Speaker 1: If you'll think overflow, God can bring you into overflow.

341
00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:40,760
Speaker 1: If you'll dare to think title wave, then God can

342
00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:44,160
Speaker 1: release a title wave of his goodness in your life.

343
00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:47,320
Speaker 1: A few years ago, we were at dinner at a

344
00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:50,760
Speaker 1: restaurant and our son Jonathan was with us. He's seventeen

345
00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:53,679
Speaker 1: years old now, and he's about eleven or twelve at

346
00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:56,600
Speaker 1: the time. And when we went to order, Jonathan told

347
00:18:56,640 --> 00:18:59,679
Speaker 1: the waiter I'd like a stake. The waiter asked, do

348
00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:02,760
Speaker 1: you want to a six ounce, a ten ounce or

349
00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:07,200
Speaker 1: a fourteen ounce. Jonathan did not think twice. He didn't

350
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:09,680
Speaker 1: look at the menu to check the price. He didn't

351
00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:12,399
Speaker 1: ask me if it's okay. He immediately said.

352
00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:13,760
Speaker 2: I'll take the fourteen ounce.

353
00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:18,640
Speaker 1: When it comes to food, Jonathan is not expecting a trickle, a.

354
00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:20,560
Speaker 2: Stream, a river, but a flood.

355
00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:25,080
Speaker 1: Jonathan not only has a big appetite, but he knows

356
00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:28,800
Speaker 1: who his father is. He knows I want to be

357
00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:31,520
Speaker 1: good to him. That's the way we need to be

358
00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:36,280
Speaker 1: with our heavenly Father. Don't have a small minded mentality.

359
00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:40,800
Speaker 1: Don't have a narrow limited vision. Too many people think

360
00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:43,879
Speaker 1: that they're bothering God. They shouldn't expect too much.

361
00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:45,840
Speaker 2: God. I'm not expecting to.

362
00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:48,040
Speaker 1: Get out of this problem. If you could just help

363
00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:51,520
Speaker 1: me endure it. God, I don't think i'll ever meet

364
00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:54,160
Speaker 1: anybody great and fall in love and get married if

365
00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:56,080
Speaker 1: you can just help me, God, not to be too

366
00:19:56,160 --> 00:20:00,239
Speaker 1: lonely in life. Now you're thinking trickle when God has

367
00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:04,359
Speaker 1: a flood. You're thinking barely get by when God has abundance.

368
00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:08,359
Speaker 1: You're thinking six ounce when God has fourteen ounce.

369
00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:11,919
Speaker 2: If you'll believe bigger, God will act bigger.

370
00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:15,280
Speaker 1: You got to do like Jonathan, step up to the

371
00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:19,720
Speaker 1: plate and say, God, I know you control the whole universe,

372
00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:22,040
Speaker 1: Yet I'm the apple of your eye.

373
00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:26,280
Speaker 2: I'm your most prized possession. God. You said you're longing

374
00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:27,240
Speaker 2: to be good to me.

375
00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:29,920
Speaker 1: So Lord, I just want to thank you for a

376
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:33,520
Speaker 1: flood of your favor in my life. When you release

377
00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:36,199
Speaker 1: your faith in a big way like that in a

378
00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:40,439
Speaker 1: fourteen ounce phrase, God doesn't look down, think what are

379
00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:41,280
Speaker 1: they talking about?

380
00:20:41,840 --> 00:20:43,080
Speaker 2: Who do they think they are?

381
00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:45,879
Speaker 1: They don't deserve it. The nerve of those people. Now

382
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:49,400
Speaker 1: that brings a smile to God's face. He says, I'm

383
00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:52,720
Speaker 1: going to open the windows of heaven and pour out

384
00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:54,720
Speaker 1: not a stream, not a trickle, not.

385
00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:57,480
Speaker 2: A river, but a flood of my favor, a flood

386
00:20:57,480 --> 00:20:59,920
Speaker 2: of my goodness, a flood of my mercy.

387
00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:03,760
Speaker 1: Isaiah said, the spirit of the Lord is upon me

388
00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:08,080
Speaker 1: to announce a day when the free favor of God

389
00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:13,320
Speaker 1: profusely abounds. Notice the word he used to describe God's

390
00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:19,600
Speaker 1: favor profusely. That means overwhelming, out of the norm, exceeding.

391
00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:23,840
Speaker 1: He was talking about this flood of favor. And at

392
00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:27,200
Speaker 1: that time the people were in a drought, no water.

393
00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:31,520
Speaker 1: Isaiah came along with this great news. A shift has come.

394
00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:35,399
Speaker 1: The drought is coming to an end. The favor is

395
00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:38,359
Speaker 1: coming like a flood. But I'm sure there were some

396
00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:40,720
Speaker 1: people that thought, what's Isaiah talking about.

397
00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:43,680
Speaker 2: Nothing's happening. There's not a cloud in the sky.

398
00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:46,720
Speaker 1: It's just as clear and blue and dry and hot

399
00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:50,240
Speaker 1: as it was the last three months. They missed their

400
00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:55,120
Speaker 1: opportunity to see the free favor of God profusely abound.

401
00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:56,680
Speaker 2: Don't let that be you.

402
00:21:58,040 --> 00:22:02,359
Speaker 1: Like Isaiah, I've announced today a flood of God's power

403
00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:06,760
Speaker 1: is coming, favor like you've never seen before. Instead of

404
00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:10,720
Speaker 1: being overwhelmed by burdens, you're going to be overwhelmed.

405
00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:11,240
Speaker 2: By God's blessings.

406
00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:15,120
Speaker 1: But the real key is, can you receive this into

407
00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:18,359
Speaker 1: your spirit. It's easy to think this is not for me, Joel,

408
00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:21,639
Speaker 1: I don't see anything different happening. I tried before and

409
00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:24,600
Speaker 1: it didn't work out. I've been through too much. That

410
00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:26,320
Speaker 1: kind of negative thinking.

411
00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:27,120
Speaker 2: Will stop the flood.

412
00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:31,320
Speaker 1: God works where there's an attitude of faith, when you

413
00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:36,359
Speaker 1: believe all things are possible. The enemy cannot stop this flood.

414
00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:40,159
Speaker 1: He doesn't have that much power. Other people cannot stop it.

415
00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:44,080
Speaker 1: The only one that can stop it is you.

416
00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:46,000
Speaker 2: You control your own destiny.

417
00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:50,600
Speaker 1: God is for you, the enemy is against you. You

418
00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:54,480
Speaker 1: get to cast the deciding vote. I'm asking you to

419
00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:57,360
Speaker 1: take the limits off of God. He wants to do

420
00:22:57,400 --> 00:23:01,280
Speaker 1: something new, something amazing in your life. But the real

421
00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:05,359
Speaker 1: battles taking place in our thought life, those thoughts that

422
00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:08,440
Speaker 1: say it's not going to happen. You're too old, you've

423
00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:11,640
Speaker 1: made too many mistakes, you'll never get well, you'll never

424
00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:15,280
Speaker 1: accomplish your dreams. No, this is the day that you're

425
00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:19,400
Speaker 1: going to see the free favor of God profusely abound.

426
00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:23,640
Speaker 1: God has floods of blessings in your future. He has

427
00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:27,360
Speaker 1: tidal waves of increase and joy and healing and mercy.

428
00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:31,720
Speaker 2: Make room for this flood. Get an agreement. With God.

429
00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:36,560
Speaker 1: Paul prayed in Ephesians that the eyes of our understanding

430
00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:40,359
Speaker 1: would be flooded with light so that we would know

431
00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:44,160
Speaker 1: the amazing future God has in store. And it's interesting

432
00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:48,359
Speaker 1: that Paul used that phrase flooded with light. See, Paul

433
00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:52,439
Speaker 1: had experienced a portion of this flood. But we're living

434
00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:55,720
Speaker 1: in a better day than Paul. This is the day

435
00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:59,600
Speaker 1: where Paul declared we would see the surpassing greatness of

436
00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:05,080
Speaker 1: God's Paul was saying, in effect, I've seen one level

437
00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:08,720
Speaker 1: of God's goodness, but the day we're in we would

438
00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:12,959
Speaker 1: see God's goodness like no generation has seen it before.

439
00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:16,600
Speaker 1: Now I can tell you firsthand, Victoria and I have

440
00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:20,760
Speaker 1: experienced this flood of God's favor. God has overwhelmed us

441
00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:23,639
Speaker 1: with his goodness. I'm not bragging on us, I'm bragging

442
00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:27,600
Speaker 1: on God. God has taken us beyond our education, beyond

443
00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:32,000
Speaker 1: our talent, beyond our training, and He's unleashed his abundance,

444
00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:33,720
Speaker 1: his wisdom, his favor.

445
00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:34,000
Speaker 2: In our lives.

446
00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:36,560
Speaker 1: I was thinking about a couple of main keys.

447
00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:39,879
Speaker 2: You've got to keep God first place in your life.

448
00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:44,840
Speaker 1: Honor God, deal with the issues that he's bringing to light,

449
00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:48,040
Speaker 1: Stay open and be willing to always change.

450
00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:50,920
Speaker 2: We don't have to be perfect. We all have flaws

451
00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:53,280
Speaker 2: and weaknesses, but we should be growing.

452
00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:57,760
Speaker 1: We should be making progress, improving the second thing.

453
00:24:58,200 --> 00:25:00,680
Speaker 2: We've learned to take the limits off of God.

454
00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:05,600
Speaker 1: Like Jonathan, we ask for the fourteen ounce. We believe big,

455
00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:10,080
Speaker 1: we pray bold prayers, and we live with this expectancy

456
00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:14,680
Speaker 1: that God has floods of favor, floods of wisdom, floods

457
00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:16,400
Speaker 1: of goodness in our future.

458
00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:19,280
Speaker 2: My prayer for you today.

459
00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:23,120
Speaker 1: Is that the eyes of your understanding would be flooded

460
00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:26,480
Speaker 1: with light, that you would know how much God loves you,

461
00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:30,439
Speaker 1: how much He's for you, what an amazing future he

462
00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:34,280
Speaker 1: has in store. My prayer is that faith would fill

463
00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:37,720
Speaker 1: your hearts, that you would raise your level of expectancy,

464
00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:41,000
Speaker 1: and that you would see God's goodness like never before.

465
00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:45,520
Speaker 1: Like Isaiah, I've announced to you you're under a flash

466
00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:46,880
Speaker 1: flood warning.

467
00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:48,520
Speaker 2: Now you need to get ready.

468
00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:53,120
Speaker 1: You're about to see the favor of God profusely abound

469
00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:57,280
Speaker 1: in your life because you've honored God, because you have

00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:13,119

495
00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:20,560
Speaker 3: Sometimes life can make you feel like you are just

496
00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:23,359
Speaker 3: living in the dark. Even your prayers don't feel like

497
00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:26,200
Speaker 3: they are making it to heaven. But God is listening

498
00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:29,840
Speaker 3: and his light is about to shine.

499
00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:32,800
Speaker 1: We know God is all powerful that he can answer

500
00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:36,040
Speaker 1: any prayer, but sometimes we don't know what to pray.

501
00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:40,560
Speaker 1: We don't think we deserve God's goodness. Maybe we're inconveniencing him,

502
00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:42,880
Speaker 1: or he has more important things to deal with.

503
00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:45,600
Speaker 2: But God is concerned about.

504
00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:49,119
Speaker 1: Every detail of your life. He's waiting to hear your prayers.
