1 00:00:01,440 --> 00:00:04,360 Speaker 1: Hi, this is Jolan Victoria. Thanks so much for listening 2 00:00:04,360 --> 00:00:07,960 Speaker 1: to the podcast and thanks for supporting the ministry. We 3 00:00:08,039 --> 00:00:11,920 Speaker 1: believe you're going to have an awesome twenty twenty four, healthy, productive, 4 00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:15,840 Speaker 1: and favor filled. God bless you today and enjoy the message. 5 00:00:16,760 --> 00:00:17,520 Speaker 2: I love you. 6 00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:20,759 Speaker 3: Guys so much, Thank you for being here. This is 7 00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:26,319 Speaker 3: our year of acceleration. Let's believe that as we go 8 00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:30,080 Speaker 3: into this year of acceleration, that God is going to 9 00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:34,800 Speaker 3: do extraordinary things in our life. Let's don't limit God 10 00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:39,000 Speaker 3: because of our own ability, because of our resources, because 11 00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:41,280 Speaker 3: we don't feel like we have what it takes to 12 00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:46,160 Speaker 3: do something extraordinary. See, God has designed you and created 13 00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:50,600 Speaker 3: you to be special, to be different. He's placed something 14 00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:53,880 Speaker 3: on your life that gives you the advantage. Too often 15 00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:58,279 Speaker 3: we limit God because we only look at ourself. We 16 00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:02,800 Speaker 3: don't look at God. We look at ourselves. I've fallen 17 00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:06,360 Speaker 3: into this trap before, wanting to pray a big prayer, 18 00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:10,360 Speaker 3: wanting to believe for something spectacular in my life, but 19 00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:14,160 Speaker 3: stopping at the moment of faith because I look at 20 00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:18,160 Speaker 3: myself and wonder, could that really happen to me? Could 21 00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:23,040 Speaker 3: I really accomplish something like that? See our victories are 22 00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:26,959 Speaker 3: not going to be one by our own strength. Our 23 00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:32,240 Speaker 3: victories are going to be accomplished by God's favor. His 24 00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:36,520 Speaker 3: gracious hand of favor on our life is what's going 25 00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:40,640 Speaker 3: to bring about the extraordinary in our life. I think 26 00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:46,480 Speaker 3: about Joseph, Moses, Nehemiah, esther just to name a few. 27 00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:51,280 Speaker 3: They believed that they were anointed, and they believed they 28 00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:54,680 Speaker 3: were they were called by God to do great things 29 00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:58,080 Speaker 3: now in the natural. On paper, they didn't hold a 30 00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:02,440 Speaker 3: great position, they didn't have plenty of resources, they didn't 31 00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:06,640 Speaker 3: necessarily come from the right family. But they believed this 32 00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:10,160 Speaker 3: one thing, that God had anointed them to do something great. 33 00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:14,600 Speaker 3: Think about Joseph, She's a young boy doing great things, 34 00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:19,520 Speaker 3: having an enjoyable life. When he realized his brothers despised 35 00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:22,200 Speaker 3: him so much that they threw him in a pit 36 00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:28,079 Speaker 3: and they sold him into slavery. His brothers despised him 37 00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:31,480 Speaker 3: so much they threw him in a pit and sold 38 00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:35,040 Speaker 3: him into slavery. Let me ask you something. Have you 39 00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:38,400 Speaker 3: ever heard yourself say my boss doesn't like me. That's 40 00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:41,519 Speaker 3: why I can't get the promotion. Oh my in laws 41 00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:45,040 Speaker 3: they're pushing me down. My sister reason, I'm the way 42 00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:48,519 Speaker 3: I am is because she's always been so ugly to me. Oh, 43 00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:51,919 Speaker 3: my husband, he never encourages me. Have you ever heard 44 00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:54,840 Speaker 3: yourself say something like that? Maybe make up an excuse 45 00:02:55,440 --> 00:03:00,760 Speaker 3: why you couldn't do something. Well, Joseph was sold into slavery. 46 00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:05,919 Speaker 3: He ended up coming into Potterphar's house. Potterphar's wife accused 47 00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:09,040 Speaker 3: him falsely of doing something he did not do. He 48 00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:13,760 Speaker 3: landed himself in prison. See through Joseph's ups and downs, 49 00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:17,200 Speaker 3: he still believed he had the anointing of God. And 50 00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:20,560 Speaker 3: do you know, Joseph ended up being second in command 51 00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:25,000 Speaker 3: of all of Egypt. He was the one that was 52 00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:29,399 Speaker 3: running the show. How could that have happened? How could 53 00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:32,960 Speaker 3: that have happened? His brothers threw him in a pit, 54 00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:39,560 Speaker 3: he became a slave. How did that happen? Moses? He 55 00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:42,560 Speaker 3: was not even supposed to be alive. He was supposed 56 00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:45,560 Speaker 3: to be killed as soon as he was born. You see, 57 00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:48,520 Speaker 3: some people say this our generation is never going to 58 00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:50,760 Speaker 3: do anything because, you know what, there's too much evil 59 00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:54,000 Speaker 3: out there. There's too many things going against him, this internet, 60 00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:57,800 Speaker 3: these evil people, this generation will never make it. Well, 61 00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:01,120 Speaker 3: Moses was never intended to make it. The King had 62 00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:04,760 Speaker 3: planned to kill every child under the age of two, 63 00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:10,560 Speaker 3: and Moses was that child. Moses tried to do something good, 64 00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:15,560 Speaker 3: turned out bad, and he found himself wondering in the 65 00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:21,400 Speaker 3: wilderness for forty years. Forty years wondering in the wilderness. 66 00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:25,279 Speaker 3: Some people think they've wasted their life. They think, man, 67 00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:28,560 Speaker 3: I just haven't done anything. Nothing's happened for me. Well, 68 00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:31,800 Speaker 3: Moses probably felt the exact same way, but he knew this. 69 00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:35,200 Speaker 3: He had the anointing of God on his life. He 70 00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:40,000 Speaker 3: persuaded Pharaoh to let them go. He talked them in 71 00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:43,440 Speaker 3: to letting them escape from their bondage and slavery. And 72 00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:46,479 Speaker 3: just about the time he wrapped them up and was 73 00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:50,880 Speaker 3: headed out, he found himself up against the Red Sea. 74 00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:53,919 Speaker 3: He looked behind him. The enemy's army was coming on 75 00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:57,880 Speaker 3: horses and chariots. They were way overpowered. The Israelites were 76 00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:00,000 Speaker 3: on foot, maybe had a few little wagons with them, 77 00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:03,280 Speaker 3: taking their children, their older folks with them. They look 78 00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:06,200 Speaker 3: behind them and here's these young bucks coming with swords 79 00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:09,880 Speaker 3: and spears, gonna take them down. All of a sudden, 80 00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:12,960 Speaker 3: Moses raises his rod, and this big body of water, 81 00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:16,599 Speaker 3: that big obstacle just split intwo was as if the 82 00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:20,320 Speaker 3: winds just blew it back, and those people walked through 83 00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:23,719 Speaker 3: on dry ground and got to the other side. What 84 00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:27,040 Speaker 3: is that? If you read that in the paper today, 85 00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:33,000 Speaker 3: you'd say that sensationalism. That couldn't have happened. Moses wasn't 86 00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:36,919 Speaker 3: even supposed to make it to three years old. He 87 00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:43,560 Speaker 3: wasted forty years in the wilderness. How did that happen? Nehemiah, 88 00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:47,080 Speaker 3: he was a cutbearer in the king's house. He served 89 00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:49,800 Speaker 3: wine to the table of the key. But he had 90 00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:52,640 Speaker 3: a desire in his heart to see the walls of 91 00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:56,640 Speaker 3: Jerusalem rebuilt. Where his ancestors were, they were in shame, 92 00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:59,440 Speaker 3: they were in shambles. He was a cutbearer. He didn't 93 00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:01,800 Speaker 3: have the Reese horses, he didn't have the money, he 94 00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:06,359 Speaker 3: didn't have the influence. He wasn't a cabinet member. But 95 00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:09,039 Speaker 3: he went to the king, and the king he not 96 00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:12,080 Speaker 3: only granted him the time to take off to go, 97 00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:17,400 Speaker 3: but he sent with him the resources, the timber, and 98 00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:20,200 Speaker 3: he was able to round up the mighty men to 99 00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:23,960 Speaker 3: rebuild those walls. Where that walls should have taken a 100 00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:27,000 Speaker 3: year or two, Namiah did it in fifty two days. 101 00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:33,240 Speaker 3: Fifty two days It was acceleration for Nehemiah. What was 102 00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:37,760 Speaker 3: that esther? She was born an orphan. She should have 103 00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:41,760 Speaker 3: never made it. She had no family, no support, but 104 00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:44,120 Speaker 3: she ended up being the queen of the land, and 105 00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:48,560 Speaker 3: she had tremendous influence, and she saved an entire nation, 106 00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:55,520 Speaker 3: the Jewish nation. What was that? It was the gracious 107 00:06:55,680 --> 00:07:00,600 Speaker 3: hand of God's favor. It was the gracious hand of 108 00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:05,880 Speaker 3: God's favor in their life. And you too have the 109 00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:10,120 Speaker 3: gracious hands of God's favor in your life. Don't ever 110 00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:14,080 Speaker 3: forget it. When God breathed breath into you, he gave 111 00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:18,080 Speaker 3: you more than resources, ability. He gave you more than 112 00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:22,160 Speaker 3: friends and the right connections. He gave you an advantage. 113 00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:27,960 Speaker 3: He gave you his favor, his favor. God is looking 114 00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:30,600 Speaker 3: for men and women who will truly believe that they 115 00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:35,160 Speaker 3: have the favor of God in their life. Don't fall 116 00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:38,360 Speaker 3: into the tripe of well, I don't have the resources, 117 00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:41,320 Speaker 3: I don't have the ability. Take yourself out of the 118 00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:44,160 Speaker 3: equation if you have to. Don't tie the hands of 119 00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:47,560 Speaker 3: God because you can't believe. Look at Almighty God and 120 00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:50,800 Speaker 3: realize it's God's strength that's going to bring these things 121 00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:56,720 Speaker 3: to pass. It's his gracious hand of favor in my life. 122 00:07:56,920 --> 00:07:59,440 Speaker 3: Every day you have to get up and you have 123 00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:02,400 Speaker 3: to be will to receive this favor. There will be 124 00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:05,000 Speaker 3: days you get up and you're doubting yourself. I'm sure 125 00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:09,400 Speaker 3: Joseph did, Moses did, I know, Esther did. Listen, you're 126 00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:12,920 Speaker 3: a queen on the inside. You have the royal crown 127 00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:15,680 Speaker 3: on your head. If you get up every morning and 128 00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:18,440 Speaker 3: you say, God, I received this favor. It's not what 129 00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:20,760 Speaker 3: I feel like, it's not in my own ability. But 130 00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:24,200 Speaker 3: I'm here to honor you. I'm here to accept the 131 00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:27,600 Speaker 3: free gift that you've given me, the advantage to live 132 00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:31,560 Speaker 3: a life of victory. I received your favor, and I 133 00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:34,199 Speaker 3: believe through the ups and downs, God, You're gonna get 134 00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:37,840 Speaker 3: me to exactly where I need to be. You see, 135 00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:41,040 Speaker 3: when you have an attitude like that, it is possible 136 00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:44,199 Speaker 3: for you to do the most extraordinary things. And can 137 00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:46,520 Speaker 3: I tell you this, it is never too late to 138 00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:50,120 Speaker 3: get started. You have not wasted your life. Moses thought 139 00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:52,520 Speaker 3: he did, but God brought him back and gave him 140 00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:56,920 Speaker 3: a flourishing finish. No to day that you can accomplish 141 00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:00,160 Speaker 3: extraordinary things in your life. I know you're probably a 142 00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:02,640 Speaker 3: lot like me at this point, and you can look 143 00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:05,280 Speaker 3: back over your life and you can say, God, it 144 00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:08,880 Speaker 3: has been the gracious hand of favor that's brought me 145 00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:10,440 Speaker 3: to where I am today. 146 00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:17,440 Speaker 2: Sometimes the circumstances of life can be overwhelmingly negative. What 147 00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:20,320 Speaker 2: should we do when we experience these kinds of negative 148 00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:21,640 Speaker 2: reports and realities? 149 00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:26,839 Speaker 1: Our life is like a container. It can only hold 150 00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:31,120 Speaker 1: so much. When we allow negative things in, like worry, guilt, 151 00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:34,840 Speaker 1: and unforgiveness. That's taking up space for the good things 152 00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:37,480 Speaker 1: that belong to you. That's why I wrote my book, 153 00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:40,040 Speaker 1: Empty Out the Negative. I'll show you how to get 154 00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:43,199 Speaker 1: rid of what's limiting you so you can live a victorious, 155 00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:44,400 Speaker 1: fulfilled life. 156 00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:47,640 Speaker 3: When you make room for joy, peace and faith, God 157 00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:49,199 Speaker 3: will feel you afresh. 158 00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:51,200 Speaker 2: And anews as our way of saying thank you for 159 00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:53,880 Speaker 2: your gift of any amount to the ministry.
