We'd love to have you come out. 33 00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:44,720 Speaker 4: I like to start with something funny, and I heard 34 00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:48,240 Speaker 4: about this older lady. She came to church one Sunday morning. 35 00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:51,600 Speaker 4: A friendly usher met her at the back door, said, ma'am, 36 00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:53,960 Speaker 4: where would you like to sit? She said, I want 37 00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:57,080 Speaker 4: to sit on the very first row. He said, oh, no, man, 38 00:01:57,120 --> 00:01:59,880 Speaker 4: you don't want to do that. Our pastor is very boring. 39 00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:02,680 Speaker 4: He'll put you to sleep. Let me seek you somewhere else. 40 00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:05,800 Speaker 4: She looked at Paul, said, sir, do you know who 41 00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:08,639 Speaker 4: I am? He said, no, ma'am. She said, I am 42 00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:12,760 Speaker 4: the pastor's mother. He hung his head in embarrassment. He 43 00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:14,880 Speaker 4: finally looked up and said, ma'am, do you know who 44 00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:18,120 Speaker 4: I am? She said no. He said, Thank God, I 45 00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:22,160 Speaker 4: say it like you mean it. This is my Bible. 46 00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:24,800 Speaker 4: I am what it says I am. I have what 47 00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:27,240 Speaker 4: it says I have. I can do what it says 48 00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:29,960 Speaker 4: I can do. Today I will be talked the word 49 00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:33,920 Speaker 4: of God. I boldly confess. My mind is alert, my 50 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:38,240 Speaker 4: heart is receptive. I will never be the same. In Jesus' name, 51 00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:41,600 Speaker 4: God bless you. I want to talk to you today 52 00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:46,320 Speaker 4: about yes is coming. Sometimes we've gone through so many 53 00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:49,960 Speaker 4: no's that we get discouraged and give up on our dreams. 54 00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:53,880 Speaker 4: Maybe the loan didn't go through, you didn't get the promotion, 55 00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:57,280 Speaker 4: You tried to break the addiction, but you couldn't do it. 56 00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:01,360 Speaker 4: Young couple told me how they've had four miscarriages, haven't 57 00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:04,240 Speaker 4: been able to have a baby. You may have had 58 00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:07,239 Speaker 4: a lot of nose in the past, your dreams haven't 59 00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:10,880 Speaker 4: come true yet. I believe God is saying this is 60 00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:14,600 Speaker 4: going to be a year of yes. Yes to the healing, 61 00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:18,720 Speaker 4: Yes to the promotion, Yes to the breakthrough, yes to 62 00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:22,400 Speaker 4: having that baby. What hasn't worked out in the past, 63 00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:26,520 Speaker 4: is suddenly going to fall into place. Doors you thought 64 00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:31,080 Speaker 4: were closed are suddenly going to open. Dreams you've given 65 00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:34,560 Speaker 4: up on promises, you've let go of thought. There's no way. 66 00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:38,400 Speaker 4: God is about to make away. In this year of Yes. 67 00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:42,240 Speaker 4: God is going to reverse the nose the times you've 68 00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:46,520 Speaker 4: been denied, turned down, told no, thanks, that's not the end. 69 00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:51,200 Speaker 4: It just wasn't the right time. Yes is coming. Yes 70 00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:54,800 Speaker 4: to the dream you quit pursuing. Yes to the child 71 00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:58,240 Speaker 4: getting back on the right course. Yes to the business 72 00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:01,800 Speaker 4: you've been wanting to start. Now. People may tell you, no, 73 00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:05,960 Speaker 4: you can't get well. Look at the medical report. No, sorry, 74 00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:08,480 Speaker 4: you don't have the experience we need. No, you're not 75 00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:11,480 Speaker 4: talented enough. Know that idea is not going to work 76 00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:16,440 Speaker 4: for us. Their no doesn't cancel out God. Yes, don't 77 00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:19,520 Speaker 4: let them talk you out of your dreams. God has 78 00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:24,000 Speaker 4: the final say. He's saying, get ready for yes. Yes 79 00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:28,560 Speaker 4: to increase, Yes to freedom from the addiction, Yes to 80 00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:33,719 Speaker 4: see in your family restored, Yes to new opportunities. God 81 00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:36,120 Speaker 4: is going to put you at the right place at 82 00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:40,560 Speaker 4: the right time. He's going to send divine connections people 83 00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:42,680 Speaker 4: that will go out of their way to be good 84 00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:45,520 Speaker 4: to you. You couldn't make it happen. It was the 85 00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:49,839 Speaker 4: favor of God bringing you into your Yes. I talked 86 00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:51,839 Speaker 4: to a lady that had been out of work for 87 00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:56,320 Speaker 4: over a year. She worked as an executive in cells, 88 00:04:56,880 --> 00:05:03,120 Speaker 4: very successful after many years, unexpectedly her contract was not renewed. 89 00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:06,599 Speaker 4: She had an impressive resume and she applied at a 90 00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:10,120 Speaker 4: couple dozen companies, but no one was interested. She was 91 00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:14,480 Speaker 4: turned down again and again. Several months later, a company 92 00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:17,080 Speaker 4: called and asked her to come in for an interview, 93 00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:20,560 Speaker 4: and she was excited. It looked like something had finally 94 00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:23,839 Speaker 4: opened up and the interview went well. She thought she 95 00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:26,520 Speaker 4: had it, but they called back and said she just 96 00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:30,400 Speaker 4: wasn't the right fit. This happened four more times where 97 00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:33,279 Speaker 4: she went in and interviewed, looked like she was the 98 00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:36,960 Speaker 4: front runner. Then she was told no, one no. After 99 00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:41,720 Speaker 4: another few months later, a company from out of state called. 100 00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:45,960 Speaker 4: They were very interested. It was between her and another man, 101 00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:49,400 Speaker 4: and she flew to that city for an interview. On 102 00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:52,760 Speaker 4: the way to the office, the taxi cab driver struck 103 00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:56,400 Speaker 4: up a conversation. She was very friendly and told how 104 00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:59,440 Speaker 4: she was there to go on a job interview and 105 00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:02,360 Speaker 4: how she'd been praying and believing that something would open up, 106 00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:05,280 Speaker 4: and out of all the offers, this was the one 107 00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:08,159 Speaker 4: she wanted the very most. He dropped her off and 108 00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:11,320 Speaker 4: told her that he was pulling for that he believed 109 00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:14,240 Speaker 4: that she was going to get it. Later that day, 110 00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:18,600 Speaker 4: the lady that interviewed her had to catch a plane. 111 00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:21,919 Speaker 4: It just so happened this same man came back to 112 00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:24,440 Speaker 4: the office and picked her up when she called for 113 00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:28,160 Speaker 4: a taxi. Being the friendly taxi cab driver that he was, 114 00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:32,120 Speaker 4: he asked her how her day was going. She explained 115 00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:35,320 Speaker 4: how she had been interviewing two people, a man and 116 00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:39,680 Speaker 4: a woman, and couldn't decide between the two. The taxicab 117 00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:42,400 Speaker 4: driver said, let me tell you who you should pick. 118 00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:45,800 Speaker 4: She said, what do you mean? He said, I picked 119 00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:48,600 Speaker 4: up that lady you interviewed and brought her this morning, 120 00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:53,320 Speaker 4: and you won't find a better person. She's smart, she's talented, 121 00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:56,720 Speaker 4: she's articulate. Plus she wants to work for you. He 122 00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:59,680 Speaker 4: went on and on, singing her praises. The lady said, 123 00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:02,919 Speaker 4: you don't what I just made my decision. When she 124 00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:05,800 Speaker 4: called the lady in the other state and told her 125 00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:08,720 Speaker 4: that she got the position. She said, if you ever 126 00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:12,040 Speaker 4: see that taxicab driver again, you need to thank him 127 00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:15,640 Speaker 4: because he's the reason I chose you. What are the 128 00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:20,000 Speaker 4: chances in a large city that the same taxicab driver 129 00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:24,560 Speaker 4: would pick up both ladies. That wasn't a coincidence. That 130 00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:27,920 Speaker 4: was the hand of God. In this year of Yes, 131 00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:30,920 Speaker 4: God is going to have the right people put in 132 00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:33,720 Speaker 4: a good word for you. You may not think you 133 00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:38,080 Speaker 4: have the connections. Don't worry. You have friends in high places. 134 00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:42,240 Speaker 4: God is not only guiding and directing your steps. He's 135 00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:45,680 Speaker 4: lining up the people you need. He's arranging things in 136 00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:50,280 Speaker 4: your favor. Paul said in Second Corinthians from the message translation, 137 00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:56,320 Speaker 4: whatever God has promised gets stamped with yes. That means 138 00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:59,680 Speaker 4: the dreams God's placed in your heart, the promises he 139 00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:04,160 Speaker 4: spoke over you have already been stamped with yes. God 140 00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:07,240 Speaker 4: has already set the date to bring it to pass. 141 00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:11,200 Speaker 4: It's already on the schedule. But there's one more thing 142 00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:15,080 Speaker 4: that God needs. It goes on to say, God, yes 143 00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:20,800 Speaker 4: with our yes together makes it a sure thing. God 144 00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:24,520 Speaker 4: is saying yes. Now he needs your yes to make 145 00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:29,280 Speaker 4: it happen. God Yes by itself is not enough. God 146 00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:32,720 Speaker 4: works where there's faith. If this lady would have gone 147 00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:36,240 Speaker 4: around thinking I'll never get the position, nothing good ever 148 00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:39,120 Speaker 4: happens to me, that would have kept it from happening. 149 00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:43,200 Speaker 4: When it comes to God, be a yes man, be 150 00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:48,280 Speaker 4: a yes woman. God says he's restoring health back into you. 151 00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:50,360 Speaker 4: You can think of all the reasons why you're not 152 00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:53,160 Speaker 4: going to get well, or you can be a yes man, 153 00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:56,800 Speaker 4: Yes God, I agree, think you that I'm getting healthier, 154 00:08:56,840 --> 00:09:00,000 Speaker 4: thank you that I'm getting stronger. God said in Soul 155 00:09:00,280 --> 00:09:03,600 Speaker 4: sixty five that he's going to crown your year with 156 00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:07,800 Speaker 4: a bountiful harvest. You can go around not expecting good breaks, 157 00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:11,120 Speaker 4: not expecting to get ahead, or you can be a 158 00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:15,079 Speaker 4: yes man. Yes God, I agree, thank you that it's 159 00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:20,120 Speaker 4: going to be a blessed, prosperous, abundant, bountiful year. That's 160 00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:24,200 Speaker 4: not just being positive, that's putting your yes with God. Yes, 161 00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:28,400 Speaker 4: God said, what was meant for your harm, He's going 162 00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:31,959 Speaker 4: to turn and use to your advantage. You can dwell 163 00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:34,720 Speaker 4: on all your hurts, what didn't work out, the people 164 00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:37,920 Speaker 4: that did you wrong, or you can be a yes man, 165 00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:42,600 Speaker 4: Yes God, I agree. Thank you for beauty for these ashes. 166 00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:45,000 Speaker 4: Thank you that you're my vindicator. Thank you that you're 167 00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:50,000 Speaker 4: fighting my battles. Is God waiting for your yes? Are 168 00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:53,960 Speaker 4: you letting the nose? The disappointments, the delays convince you 169 00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:56,800 Speaker 4: that it's not going to happen. You may not have 170 00:09:56,880 --> 00:10:00,160 Speaker 4: seen it yet, but this is a new day. You 171 00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:03,800 Speaker 4: are coming into a year of yes. I'm asking you 172 00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:07,840 Speaker 4: to put your yes with God, yes, and watch what happens. 173 00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:11,239 Speaker 4: There was a young lady in the scripture named Hannah. 174 00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:14,360 Speaker 4: She was married to a man, but she wasn't able 175 00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:18,520 Speaker 4: to have children. She kept praying and believing, but the 176 00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:23,400 Speaker 4: scripture says the Lord had shut Hannah's wound. Year after 177 00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:26,880 Speaker 4: year went by. She was so discouraged, didn't look like 178 00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:29,720 Speaker 4: she'd ever be able to have a baby. To make 179 00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:33,800 Speaker 4: matters worse, her husband was married to another woman as well, 180 00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:38,440 Speaker 4: and she kept having children. She didn't have any problem conceiving, 181 00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:42,480 Speaker 4: and this other wife would make fun of Hannah, try 182 00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:45,360 Speaker 4: to make her feel like she was inferior. Something was 183 00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:48,280 Speaker 4: wrong with her, and Hannah would end up in tears. 184 00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:52,040 Speaker 4: So upset, one day, Hannah went to the temple and 185 00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:55,360 Speaker 4: she was crying and asking God to give her a baby, 186 00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:59,000 Speaker 4: and the prophet Eli saw and asked what was wrong. 187 00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:02,880 Speaker 4: Explained how she was bearing and she was asking God 188 00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:06,959 Speaker 4: to open up her wound. Eli said, cheer up. The 189 00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:10,720 Speaker 4: God of Israel has granted your request. You're going to 190 00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:14,520 Speaker 4: have a baby. Hannah went back home like a different person. 191 00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:18,120 Speaker 4: She had a spring in her step, a smile on 192 00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:22,559 Speaker 4: her face. On the outside, nothing had changed, no baby, 193 00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:26,240 Speaker 4: no sign of a child. But on the inside she 194 00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:30,000 Speaker 4: put her yes with God. Yes. At that point she 195 00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:33,360 Speaker 4: believed she was going to have a baby. When that 196 00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:37,160 Speaker 4: other wife made fun of her, too bad, Hannah, you'll 197 00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:41,040 Speaker 4: never have a child. Instead of getting upset, instead of crying, 198 00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:44,600 Speaker 4: her new attitude was I may have had some nose, 199 00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:49,000 Speaker 4: but I have some inside information. I know my yes 200 00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:52,600 Speaker 4: is coming. The God of Israel has spoken it over me. 201 00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:55,720 Speaker 4: I may not see it yet, but I walk by 202 00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:59,160 Speaker 4: faith and not by sight. I know my baby is coming. 203 00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:03,080 Speaker 4: A year later, she went back to the temple with 204 00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:08,480 Speaker 4: her baby boy, Samuel. She came in to her yes, like, Hannah, 205 00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:11,360 Speaker 4: you may have had a lot of nose. People have 206 00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:14,040 Speaker 4: tried to discourage you, make you think that it's never 207 00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:17,360 Speaker 4: going to happen. You need to get ready. Your yes 208 00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:22,199 Speaker 4: is coming. The same God that shut Hannah's womb opened 209 00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:25,960 Speaker 4: Hannah's womb. God may have said no in the past 210 00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:28,800 Speaker 4: doesn't mean it's going to be no in the future. 211 00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:33,200 Speaker 4: Just as God turned Hannah's no into a yes, God 212 00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:36,520 Speaker 4: is going to turn around some nose for you. Will 213 00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:40,040 Speaker 4: you do like Hannah and start acting like what God 214 00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:44,079 Speaker 4: told you is going to happen. All Hannah had was 215 00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:46,680 Speaker 4: a word from the prophet that she was going to 216 00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:49,880 Speaker 4: have a baby. She didn't have an ultrasound, she didn't 217 00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:53,280 Speaker 4: have a pregnancy's test, She just had what Eli said 218 00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:56,440 Speaker 4: to her. He could have been wrong. You have something 219 00:12:56,600 --> 00:13:00,040 Speaker 4: so much more powerful. You have the promise from the 220 00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:04,200 Speaker 4: God who spoke worlds into existence. He's saying, if you'll 221 00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:07,800 Speaker 4: put your yes with my yes, I'll turn the nose 222 00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:13,000 Speaker 4: around those situations that seem permanent, the addiction you've dealt 223 00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:16,000 Speaker 4: with for years, health issue that won't go away, or 224 00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:19,640 Speaker 4: maybe a struggle in your finances seems like your stuff. 225 00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:23,200 Speaker 4: Thoughts tell you just accept the nose, just get used 226 00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:27,080 Speaker 4: to it. Don't believe those lies. God is about to 227 00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:30,880 Speaker 4: open up your womb. What you've been dreaming about, that 228 00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:34,000 Speaker 4: child to get back on course, that business to take 229 00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:36,920 Speaker 4: off that person to spend your life with. You need 230 00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:40,160 Speaker 4: to get ready. Your time is coming, Your yes is 231 00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:44,200 Speaker 4: headed your way. A young lady I know was working 232 00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:47,360 Speaker 4: as a news reporter. She was in her early twenties. 233 00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:50,600 Speaker 4: She had a problem with her skin. She had real 234 00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:54,000 Speaker 4: bad rosation. When she was out filming a report. If 235 00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:57,560 Speaker 4: she sweated or accidentally touched her face rubbed her makeup off, 236 00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:01,400 Speaker 4: that red would shine through so bright looked really bad. 237 00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:04,480 Speaker 4: She couldn't find any makeup that would cover it up 238 00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:07,600 Speaker 4: and last she ended up quitting her job as a 239 00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:11,640 Speaker 4: news reporter. She started working on a new makeup line 240 00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:15,160 Speaker 4: that would fix her problem. She developed a product that 241 00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:19,160 Speaker 4: she really liked. She believed it would be successful. She 242 00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:21,920 Speaker 4: and her husband went to bank after bank trying to 243 00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:25,240 Speaker 4: get funding, but they were turned down again and again. 244 00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:29,800 Speaker 4: Her husband started a website so you could order the product. 245 00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:32,560 Speaker 4: It was up for weeks and weeks with no activity, 246 00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:36,600 Speaker 4: no orders. Finally, an order came through. She went running 247 00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:38,920 Speaker 4: to her husband said, look, we got our first order. 248 00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:41,160 Speaker 4: He said, no, that was me. I was just testing 249 00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:45,480 Speaker 4: the website. She knew God had put this dream in 250 00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:49,640 Speaker 4: her heart, but all she kept getting were no's. Her 251 00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:54,400 Speaker 4: goal was to somehow get on a home shopping channel 252 00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:59,080 Speaker 4: like QVC. For years, she sent them product, She met 253 00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:02,200 Speaker 4: with representative IF trying to make it happen, but it 254 00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:06,360 Speaker 4: didn't work out. They were down to their last thousand dollars. 255 00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:09,040 Speaker 4: Didn't know what she was going to do. She went 256 00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:12,960 Speaker 4: to a large cosmetic convention. All of the major companies 257 00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:15,520 Speaker 4: were there and she had a three foot booth where 258 00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:19,560 Speaker 4: she was showing people her product. Across the way, QVC 259 00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:24,640 Speaker 4: had a huge booth. This older lady came over and said, Honey, 260 00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:27,960 Speaker 4: I love your product. I'm going to tell my buyers 261 00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:31,360 Speaker 4: at QVC, we need to have you on our channel. 262 00:15:32,280 --> 00:15:35,640 Speaker 4: That lady was an on air personality that had been 263 00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:39,520 Speaker 4: there for over seventeen years. She used her influence to 264 00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:43,600 Speaker 4: open the door. This young lady went on QVC. Her 265 00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:47,880 Speaker 4: product was a huge hit. Today, our friend Jamie Kern, 266 00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:52,280 Speaker 4: the founder of IT Cosmetics, goes on QVC two hundred 267 00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:55,160 Speaker 4: times a year. Her company has become one of the 268 00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:59,560 Speaker 4: largest cosmetic companies in the world. But like Hannah, for 269 00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:02,920 Speaker 4: ye years, it was as if the wound was shut up. 270 00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:07,840 Speaker 4: No good breaks, no favor, very little progress. Then one 271 00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:11,840 Speaker 4: day she came into her yes that one good break 272 00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:16,800 Speaker 4: thrust her further. Did she ever imagine? Years later, she 273 00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:19,280 Speaker 4: was talking to the lady that put in a good 274 00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:21,840 Speaker 4: word for her that day, and she asked her why 275 00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:24,720 Speaker 4: she did it. The lady said, well, I like your product, 276 00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:27,640 Speaker 4: but it wasn't about the cosmetics. When I saw you 277 00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:31,200 Speaker 4: that day, I felt like God said to me, go 278 00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:35,520 Speaker 4: help that young lady. God has the right people lined 279 00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:39,800 Speaker 4: up for you. In this year of Yes, You're going 280 00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:43,240 Speaker 4: to see doors open that you haven't been able to 281 00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:47,240 Speaker 4: open for years. The dream God has placed in your 282 00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:51,880 Speaker 4: heart has already been stamped with yes. Are you adding 283 00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:53,080 Speaker 4: your yes to God? 284 00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:53,440 Speaker 5: Yes? 285 00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:57,640 Speaker 4: Are you doing like Hannah and thanking God even though 286 00:16:57,680 --> 00:17:01,360 Speaker 4: you don't see anything happening? Will you be bold enough 287 00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:04,760 Speaker 4: to believe that you're still going to give birth even 288 00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:08,600 Speaker 4: though it feels like your womb has been shut? Heaven 289 00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:12,720 Speaker 4: is saying yes, Yes to your dream, Yes to your healing, 290 00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:16,359 Speaker 4: Yes to the freedom, yes to the breakthrough. Well, Joel, 291 00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:20,040 Speaker 4: this sounds good today. It's encouraging, but I don't think 292 00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:22,120 Speaker 4: I'm going to have a year of yes. I've had 293 00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:26,640 Speaker 4: so many no's. You're right where Hannah was. The problem 294 00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:30,280 Speaker 4: is if you keep adding your no to God's yes, 295 00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:34,680 Speaker 4: you can cancel out what God has in store. Other 296 00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:38,720 Speaker 4: peoples know cannot stop you. What they say, what they do. 297 00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:42,680 Speaker 4: They don't control your destiny. The enemies know cannot stop you. 298 00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:47,520 Speaker 4: What you believe is what matters. God needs your yes. 299 00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:51,639 Speaker 4: He has amazing things in your future. He's going to 300 00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:55,240 Speaker 4: give you more influence and favor than you've ever imagined. 301 00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:58,480 Speaker 4: Now keep adding the yes. Thoughts may tell you no, 302 00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:02,919 Speaker 4: Circumstances may tell you it's never going to happen, but 303 00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:06,760 Speaker 4: you're yes, and God's yes makes it a sure thing. 304 00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:12,199 Speaker 4: Why Because God controls the universe, one touch of his 305 00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:15,879 Speaker 4: favor can turn a no into a yes. From no, 306 00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:18,320 Speaker 4: we don't need you to yes. You have the position 307 00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:21,360 Speaker 4: from no you'll never get well, to good news you'll 308 00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:25,520 Speaker 4: cancer free, from going to interview to interview with no success, 309 00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:28,840 Speaker 4: to having a taxi cab driver put in a good 310 00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:31,440 Speaker 4: word for you. Friends. You need to get ready. Your 311 00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:34,760 Speaker 4: yes is on the way, Like Hannah, God is about 312 00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:38,840 Speaker 4: to open up your wound. The Book of Second Kings, 313 00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:42,600 Speaker 4: there was a king named Hezekiah that was told no. 314 00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:46,639 Speaker 4: But his no didn't come from people, It came from God. 315 00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:51,199 Speaker 4: He was very sick close to death. His mentor, the 316 00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:55,320 Speaker 4: prophet Isaiah, came to the palace to see him. Isaiah 317 00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:58,080 Speaker 4: was called the eagle eye prophet. He was the one 318 00:18:58,080 --> 00:19:01,439 Speaker 4: that spoke for God. He didn't make mistakes. Now I 319 00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:05,520 Speaker 4: can imagine when King Hezekiah heard the news that Isaiah 320 00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:09,640 Speaker 4: was at the palace, he brightened up, thinking, maybe there's hope. 321 00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:11,920 Speaker 4: Maybe he's going to pray for me and I'm going 322 00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:14,679 Speaker 4: to get well, or maybe he'll give me an encouraging 323 00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:18,440 Speaker 4: word that I can stand on. Isaiah came in, said 324 00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:21,600 Speaker 4: King Hezekiah, I have a word from the Lord for you. 325 00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:26,800 Speaker 4: Hezekiah leaned in closer. Isaiah said, the Lord says, set 326 00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:30,600 Speaker 4: your house in order, for you will surely die. He 327 00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:33,920 Speaker 4: didn't say you might die. Isekiah doesn't look too good. 328 00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:37,240 Speaker 4: Maybe you'll pull through. He said, you will surely die. 329 00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:42,120 Speaker 4: What do you do when God says no. Heekiah could 330 00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:44,480 Speaker 4: have thought, well, too bad for me. I'm done. No 331 00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:49,320 Speaker 4: use even trying. The scripture says Hezekiah turned his face 332 00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:53,520 Speaker 4: to the wall and started praying. He reminded God how 333 00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:57,240 Speaker 4: he had served him, how he'd torn down the pagan altars, 334 00:19:57,280 --> 00:19:59,880 Speaker 4: and how he'd set a new standard for his family. 335 00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:04,080 Speaker 4: He asked God for his mercy to give him more years. 336 00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:08,119 Speaker 4: His attitude was if I die, I'm gonna die, asking 337 00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:12,760 Speaker 4: for the yes. Before Isaiah could leave the palace grounds, 338 00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:17,280 Speaker 4: God said to him, Isaiah, go back to Hezekiah and 339 00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:21,720 Speaker 4: tell him I've heard his prayers and I've changed my mind. 340 00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:26,720 Speaker 4: I'm gonna add fifteen years to his life. Even when 341 00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:30,400 Speaker 4: you feel like God has said no, if you'll dare 342 00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:34,840 Speaker 4: do like Hezekiah and ask God for the yes, your 343 00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:38,719 Speaker 4: faith can cause God to change his mind. And in 344 00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:41,560 Speaker 4: this year of Yes, God is going to reverse some 345 00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:45,840 Speaker 4: nose mistakes that you've made. God is going to correct 346 00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:50,040 Speaker 4: them and give you another chance. Opportunities that you've missed. 347 00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:53,280 Speaker 4: He's going to bring them back across your path. The 348 00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:56,359 Speaker 4: things that have been a struggle, the constant pressure is 349 00:20:56,400 --> 00:21:02,520 Speaker 4: going to suddenly turn around. Hezekiahnah both faced situations where 350 00:21:02,520 --> 00:21:07,240 Speaker 4: God said no. God shut Hannah's wound, told Hezekiah that 351 00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:10,879 Speaker 4: he was done. Hannah went to the temple and asked 352 00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:15,760 Speaker 4: for a baby. Hezekiah asked for more years. The common 353 00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:20,359 Speaker 4: denominator was they both asked for yes in the face 354 00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:25,000 Speaker 4: of no. Every circumstance said forget it. God said no, 355 00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:29,520 Speaker 4: just live with it. Their attitude was, God, we know 356 00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:32,879 Speaker 4: you controlled the universe. And even though this seems like 357 00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:36,280 Speaker 4: a no to us, we're asking in your great mercy 358 00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:40,640 Speaker 4: to change your mind and give us a yes. Are 359 00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:44,000 Speaker 4: you bold enough to ask for a yes even though 360 00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:48,360 Speaker 4: all you keep getting are nose? Jesus told a parable 361 00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:51,960 Speaker 4: in Looke twelve about a widow woman that went to 362 00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:55,080 Speaker 4: see a judge to try to get relief from someone 363 00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:58,560 Speaker 4: that had done her harm. He was an unjust judge. 364 00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:01,800 Speaker 4: He wasn't fair, He didn't listen to the lady, didn't 365 00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:04,040 Speaker 4: give her the time of day. He just dismissed her 366 00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:07,679 Speaker 4: and sent her away. The next day, the lady was 367 00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:12,240 Speaker 4: right back in his courtroom asking for justice. The judge said, lady, 368 00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:16,520 Speaker 4: didn't I tell you no yesterday? She said, yes, you did, 369 00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:19,560 Speaker 4: But I'm not going to leave you alone until you 370 00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:22,160 Speaker 4: give me a yes. He had her put out again. 371 00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:24,239 Speaker 4: She came back the next day, and the next and 372 00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:28,840 Speaker 4: the next, asking for justice, pleading her case. Finally, that 373 00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:32,880 Speaker 4: judge got so frustrated he said in verse five, this 374 00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:37,119 Speaker 4: woman is driving me crazy. That's a message all on 375 00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:40,160 Speaker 4: his own. That's next week He went on to say, 376 00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:43,720 Speaker 4: I'm going to see that she gets justice because she 377 00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:48,359 Speaker 4: is wearing me down with her constant request. She kept 378 00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:52,200 Speaker 4: asking for yes in the face of no. If you're 379 00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:55,280 Speaker 4: going to see your yes, you have to be determined. 380 00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:59,879 Speaker 4: If you accept the first no, you weren't serious about it. No, 381 00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:03,399 Speaker 4: those are a test. God wants to see how bad 382 00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:06,280 Speaker 4: do you want it. If you get discouraged, give up. 383 00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:08,960 Speaker 4: You didn't want it badly enough. You have to do 384 00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:13,480 Speaker 4: like this woman, keep asking, keep praying, keep believing, keep dreaming, 385 00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:17,720 Speaker 4: keep hoping. If one door closes, try another door. One 386 00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:20,960 Speaker 4: company says no, try another company. If one bank turns 387 00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:24,080 Speaker 4: you down, try another bank. Friend of mine wanted to 388 00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:27,040 Speaker 4: start his business. He was turned down by thirty one 389 00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:31,600 Speaker 4: banks thirty one times. He was told no, sorry, we 390 00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:34,720 Speaker 4: can't help you. Doesn't seem like a good idea to us. 391 00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:39,560 Speaker 4: He knew that dream had already been stamped with God yes. 392 00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:43,760 Speaker 4: He just kept adding his yes, going through the closed doors, 393 00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:47,800 Speaker 4: not getting discouraged. Bank number thirty two said, we think 394 00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:51,760 Speaker 4: it's a great idea. He started his business. It's taken 395 00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:55,320 Speaker 4: off and expanded all around the world. He told me 396 00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:58,159 Speaker 4: how some of those same banks now are trying to 397 00:23:58,160 --> 00:24:03,760 Speaker 4: get his account. He tells them, no, what am I saying? 398 00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:07,919 Speaker 4: Don't get discouraged by the nose. The nose are a 399 00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:11,359 Speaker 4: part of your destiny. They're leading you to the yes. 400 00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:15,000 Speaker 4: You have to come to your closed doors before you'll 401 00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:17,679 Speaker 4: get to your open doors. You may have had a 402 00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:20,240 Speaker 4: lot of nose in the past. Things haven't worked out. 403 00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:24,000 Speaker 4: You need to get ready. Your yes is coming. God 404 00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:26,960 Speaker 4: is going to open doors that you could not open. 405 00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:30,199 Speaker 4: He's going to cause people to change their mind and 406 00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:32,200 Speaker 4: go out of their way to be good to you. 407 00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:36,439 Speaker 4: It's going to be unprecedented favor. You will know it 408 00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:39,560 Speaker 4: is the hand of God. I talked to a lady 409 00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:45,400 Speaker 4: named Chari. She's a single parent living in Compton, California. Compton, 410 00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:49,160 Speaker 4: of course, is known for being a rough environment, drugs 411 00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:53,639 Speaker 4: and violence. Her husband was in the federal penitentiary. Chari 412 00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:57,800 Speaker 4: is a school teacher for thirteen years. She raised her 413 00:24:57,840 --> 00:25:02,399 Speaker 4: son Ej. By herself. There were a lot of negative influences, 414 00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:04,919 Speaker 4: a lot of opportunity for him to get off course. 415 00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:09,280 Speaker 4: But Shari is a praying woman. Every morning before school 416 00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:13,280 Speaker 4: they would listen to our messages. Her goal was for 417 00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:16,800 Speaker 4: her son EJ. To go to college, and even though 418 00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:20,800 Speaker 4: looked like he had some disadvantages, a rough environment, the 419 00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:24,480 Speaker 4: odds against him, they believed that God would open the 420 00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:26,840 Speaker 4: right doors. They had had a lot of no's in 421 00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:30,680 Speaker 4: the past, but they knew their yes was coming and 422 00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:34,200 Speaker 4: they were waiting for different colleges to respond to see 423 00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:38,159 Speaker 4: if he got accepted anywhere. Several weeks ago, on their 424 00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:41,400 Speaker 4: way to school, they were listening to a message where 425 00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:45,119 Speaker 4: I was talking about unprecedented favor and how God was 426 00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:48,280 Speaker 4: going to do something unusual and out of the ordinary. 427 00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:53,080 Speaker 4: When Shari heard that, something came alive on the inside, 428 00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:57,000 Speaker 4: she told her son, EJ, that's for us. Later that day, 429 00:25:57,480 --> 00:26:02,480 Speaker 4: EJ opened up an email. It said, congratulations, you have 430 00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:09,679 Speaker 4: been accepted into Harvard University. Cherie says that EJ is 431 00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:14,720 Speaker 4: the first African American from Compton to ever get accepted 432 00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:19,880 Speaker 4: to Harvard. His goal is to become a neurosurgeon. You've 433 00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:23,160 Speaker 4: heard that phrase straight out of Compton a lot of times. 434 00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:24,880 Speaker 4: We think of the negative of the gangs the bout. 435 00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:28,000 Speaker 4: How about straight out of Compton and straight to Harvard. 436 00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:33,600 Speaker 4: Jesus came from the city of Nazareth, that was a 437 00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:38,160 Speaker 4: poor Rundown City in those days. His critics said, can 438 00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:41,240 Speaker 4: any good thing come out of Nazareth? That's not an 439 00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:45,000 Speaker 4: important influential place. Yet the Son of God came out 440 00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:48,320 Speaker 4: of Nazareth. Can any good thing come out of Compton? 441 00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:48,840 Speaker 6: Yes? 442 00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:52,080 Speaker 4: EJ. Yes Chari, Yes, a whole lot of others. Can 443 00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:55,040 Speaker 4: any good thing come out of your neighborhood, Yes you can. 444 00:26:55,720 --> 00:26:59,680 Speaker 4: You're the history maker, You're the exception. You have seeds 445 00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:05,000 Speaker 4: of greatness. Like EJ. Cherie, there are yes in your 446 00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:08,800 Speaker 4: future that are going to thrust you to the next level. 447 00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:13,240 Speaker 4: God is going to open doors that no man can shut. 448 00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:17,000 Speaker 4: He's going to bring divine connections people that will use 449 00:27:17,040 --> 00:27:21,199 Speaker 4: their influence to push you into your purpose. You may 450 00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:23,320 Speaker 4: have had a lot of nose in the past that 451 00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:26,639 Speaker 4: you need to get ready. I believe and declare you 452 00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:30,080 Speaker 4: are coming in to your year of yes. God is 453 00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:33,199 Speaker 4: saying yes to the scholarship, Yes to the right person, 454 00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:36,840 Speaker 4: Yes to the healing, yes to the breakthrough. Your yes 455 00:27:37,320 --> 00:27:41,679 Speaker 4: is on the way. In Jesus' name, I'd like to 456 00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:44,800 Speaker 4: give you an opportunity to make Jesus the Lord of 457 00:27:44,840 --> 00:27:48,560 Speaker 4: your life. Would you pray with me? Just say Lord 458 00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:54,280 Speaker 4: Jesus I repent of my sins. Come into my heart. 459 00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:58,840 Speaker 4: I make you my Lord and savior. If you prayed 460 00:27:58,840 --> 00:28:02,240 Speaker 4: that simple prayer, we believe you got born again. Get 461 00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:04,760 Speaker 4: in a good Bible based church, and keep God in 462 00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:07,639 Speaker 4: first place.
