1
00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:01,880
Speaker 1: This is Joel and Victoria.

Speaker 1: joy to come into your homes. We love you.

9
00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:24,720
Speaker 2: If you're ever in our area, please stop by be

10
00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:26,240
Speaker 2: a part of one of our services.

11
00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:28,800
Speaker 1: I promise you we'll make you feel right at home.

12
00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:31,800
Speaker 2: But thanks for tuning in today again, thanks for coming out.

13
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:33,600
Speaker 1: And I like to start with something funny.

14
00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:37,040
Speaker 2: And one day Adam was talking to God and he said, God,

15
00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:40,920
Speaker 2: why'd you make Eve so beautiful? God said, so you

16
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:43,159
Speaker 2: would love her. He said, well, God, why'd you give

17
00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:45,919
Speaker 2: her such long flowing hair? God said the same thing,

18
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:47,960
Speaker 2: so you'd love her. Well, God, why'd you give her

19
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:48,920
Speaker 2: such a great figure?

20
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:50,800
Speaker 1: God said it again, so you'd love her.

21
00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:53,880
Speaker 2: Adam said, all right, God, you've made her so beautiful,

22
00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:54,560
Speaker 2: so attractive.

23
00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:55,880
Speaker 1: Why'd you make her so dumb?

24
00:00:57,560 --> 00:01:00,200
Speaker 2: God said that's easy, Adam, so she would love you.

25
00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:06,039
Speaker 1: All right, Hold up your Bible, say it like you

26
00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:06,440
Speaker 1: mean it.

27
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:09,920
Speaker 2: This is my Bible. I am what it says I am.

28
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:12,880
Speaker 2: I have what it says I have. I can do

29
00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:15,399
Speaker 2: what it says I can do. Today I will be

30
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:19,240
Speaker 2: taught the word of God. I boldly confess my mind

31
00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:21,479
Speaker 2: is alert, my heart is receptive.

32
00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:25,520
Speaker 1: I will never be the same. In Jesus' name, God

33
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:26,080
Speaker 1: bless you.

34
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:29,440
Speaker 2: I want to talk to you today about how you

35
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:33,800
Speaker 2: have inside information. We don't have to go through life

36
00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:35,400
Speaker 2: guessing what we should do.

37
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:37,160
Speaker 1: We have a helper.

38
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:41,200
Speaker 2: The Holy Spirit lives on the inside of every believer.

39
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:44,840
Speaker 2: He is there to lead us, to guide us, to

40
00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:47,760
Speaker 2: help us make great decisions. And if you're going to

41
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:51,400
Speaker 2: fulfill your destiny, you have to be sensitive to what

42
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:54,800
Speaker 2: God's saying to you. He wants to give you inside

43
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:59,240
Speaker 2: information about your family, about your career, about your future.

44
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:02,360
Speaker 2: But it's not going to come to your head. It's

45
00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:04,960
Speaker 2: not going to come through your emotions. It's going to

46
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:06,080
Speaker 2: come to your spirit.

47
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:06,480
Speaker 1: Person.

48
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:11,679
Speaker 2: God speaks to us in a still small voice. It's

49
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:16,600
Speaker 2: a knowing down in here, a prompting, a suggestion. It

50
00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:19,680
Speaker 2: may not make sense to our mind, our emotions may

51
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:23,600
Speaker 2: be telling us otherwise, but deep down in our heart.

52
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:27,240
Speaker 1: We know that we know it's the right thing. Jesus

53
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:27,960
Speaker 1: put it this way.

54
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:32,080
Speaker 2: He that has ears to hear, let him hear what

55
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:35,120
Speaker 2: the spirit is saying. If you're going to have this

56
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:39,280
Speaker 2: inside information, you have to have your ears tuned to

57
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:43,040
Speaker 2: the right frequency. I think about how right now, there

58
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:46,840
Speaker 2: are hundreds of radio frequencies in the air, hundreds of

59
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:48,760
Speaker 2: television signals all around us.

60
00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:51,880
Speaker 1: Why aren't we receiving any of them. We don't have

61
00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:52,400
Speaker 1: a tuner.

62
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:55,160
Speaker 2: All we'd have to do is get a radio, tune

63
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:57,800
Speaker 2: it to the right frequency, and we would hear what

64
00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:01,520
Speaker 2: the channel is saying. I'm asking you today to make

65
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:05,239
Speaker 2: sure you keep your spiritual ears tuned to what God

66
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:08,400
Speaker 2: is saying. Don't go your whole life with all this

67
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:12,919
Speaker 2: inside information that's available, but you never tap into it

68
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 2: because you're on the wrong frequency. You only listen to

69
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:20,040
Speaker 2: your mind, your emotions, what other people are telling you.

70
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:21,280
Speaker 1: And that's fine.

71
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:25,560
Speaker 2: But there's another frequency, there's a higher power. God is

72
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:30,880
Speaker 2: constantly transmitting. The question is do we have our receivers tuned.

73
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:34,800
Speaker 2: You have to get quiet and be sensitive to what

74
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:37,400
Speaker 2: you're feeling down in here. It's not going to be

75
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:41,080
Speaker 2: a loud booming voice. It's going to be an impression.

76
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:44,680
Speaker 2: All of a sudden, an idea comes up out of nowhere,

77
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:48,120
Speaker 2: Or you have a desire to go check on your children,

78
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:50,520
Speaker 2: a prompting to go to a certain place.

79
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 1: It's like a suggestion came up.

80
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:56,000
Speaker 2: If you're not sensitive, you'll just dismiss it and think, oh,

81
00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:57,720
Speaker 2: that's just me, I'm daydreaming again.

82
00:03:58,160 --> 00:03:59,800
Speaker 1: No, you'll miss what God is saying.

83
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 2: I have a friend that used to do work for us,

84
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:05,160
Speaker 2: and one day I saw him and it looked like

85
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:07,040
Speaker 2: he had been in some kind of accident.

86
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:09,240
Speaker 1: He had big black eyes.

87
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:12,160
Speaker 2: And his face was all bruised. He'd been so beaten up.

88
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 2: I said, what in the world happened to you? Were

89
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:18,200
Speaker 2: you interrapping? He began to explain how the night before,

90
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:22,200
Speaker 2: driving home, he had gotten carjacked. He stopped at this

91
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:25,440
Speaker 2: light and these guys came up and wanted his wallet,

92
00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:27,920
Speaker 2: and he didn't have one, so they pulled him out

93
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:29,520
Speaker 2: of the car and beat him up and just left

94
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:33,520
Speaker 2: him there. He said something very interesting, he said, Joel,

95
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:37,120
Speaker 2: The funny thing is, when I was driving home, something

96
00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:39,240
Speaker 2: told me to not go that way.

97
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:41,920
Speaker 1: Right down in here, as clear.

98
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:44,800
Speaker 2: As can be, something said, you need to take another

99
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:45,480
Speaker 2: route home.

100
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:49,880
Speaker 1: It was so distinct, so strong, that he even debated

101
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:50,760
Speaker 1: it in his mind.

102
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:53,640
Speaker 2: He thought, why should I go another route? This is

103
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:55,960
Speaker 2: the way I always go, This is the quickest way home.

104
00:04:56,839 --> 00:05:00,159
Speaker 2: This young man wasn't someone we'd consider to be a

105
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:04,279
Speaker 2: religious type person, but he said, I know that was

106
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:05,599
Speaker 2: God trying to warn me.

107
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:08,120
Speaker 1: And next time I'm going to listen.

108
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:14,000
Speaker 2: Friends, God will give you inside information to protect.

109
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:14,400
Speaker 1: You from danger.

110
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:18,320
Speaker 2: He will warn you when there's something bad up ahead.

111
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:23,600
Speaker 2: He'll give you inside information about your career. One scripture

112
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:25,200
Speaker 2: says that God will give his.

113
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:27,560
Speaker 1: People witty inventions.

114
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:31,640
Speaker 2: That means God can give you ideas ahead of your time.

115
00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:36,800
Speaker 2: God can give you inside information about your children. He

116
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:39,600
Speaker 2: can show you things that you normally would not have known.

117
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:43,000
Speaker 2: I remember when I was growing up. One time my

118
00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:45,800
Speaker 2: parents were out of town. They had a rule that

119
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:49,279
Speaker 2: whenever they were gone, none of us five children could

120
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:51,640
Speaker 2: spend the night with anyone else. We had to stay

121
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:54,440
Speaker 2: at our own home. Well, my sister Tamra had a

122
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:58,080
Speaker 2: good friend. They were both cheerleaders. The next morning they

123
00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:00,840
Speaker 2: had to bid a ballgame very early, and the girl's

124
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:03,640
Speaker 2: mother was already planning to come by and pick Tamra up.

125
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:06,640
Speaker 2: And at the last minute, this friend asked Tamra to

126
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:10,040
Speaker 2: spend the night, and all of us kids decided, since

127
00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:13,320
Speaker 2: it was already arranged, that it was no big deal.

128
00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:16,839
Speaker 2: Tamra could spend the night. After all, our parents would

129
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:20,360
Speaker 2: never find out about it. So Tamra went over there,

130
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:23,840
Speaker 2: and that evening, my mother called like she always does,

131
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:28,920
Speaker 2: and Lisa answered the phone out of nowhere. My mother said, Lisa,

132
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:32,839
Speaker 2: where is Paul. Lisa said, Paul's right here, Lisa, where

133
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:34,080
Speaker 2: is Joel? Joel's right here.

134
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:35,599
Speaker 1: Where's April? She's right here.

135
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:39,719
Speaker 2: Well, Lisa, where is Tamra. Lisa to begin to stutter

136
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:45,080
Speaker 2: and stumble. A mother, Tamra's not here right now? Well

137
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:47,160
Speaker 2: where is she?

138
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:50,120
Speaker 1: She's outside? Well, would you go get her?

139
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:53,600
Speaker 2: I would like to talk to her somehow, some way

140
00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:56,280
Speaker 2: my mother knew Tamra was not at home.

141
00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:58,400
Speaker 1: That like just scared me to death.

142
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:04,200
Speaker 2: I never did anything wrong. I told my friends, it's

143
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:07,560
Speaker 2: not fair. I can't get away with anything.

144
00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:11,239
Speaker 1: God tells my parents. What was that.

145
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:15,720
Speaker 2: Inside information to raise our children? I love the story

146
00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:19,040
Speaker 2: in the Old Testament when this major army was trying

147
00:07:19,040 --> 00:07:22,440
Speaker 2: to overtake the people of Israel. But every time this

148
00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:26,160
Speaker 2: army made a move, the Israelites knew about it and

149
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:29,480
Speaker 2: would beat them there. If the army planned on attacking

150
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:32,720
Speaker 2: from the north, the Israelites would be their waiting. If

151
00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:34,760
Speaker 2: they planned to sneak up in the middle of the

152
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:38,320
Speaker 2: night and surprise them, the Israelites would be up prepared

153
00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:42,160
Speaker 2: for battle. No matter what this army did, the Israelites

154
00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:46,280
Speaker 2: were always one step ahead. The commander that enemy army

155
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:48,880
Speaker 2: got so frustrated he thought there was a spy.

156
00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:50,120
Speaker 1: He called his.

157
00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:54,040
Speaker 2: Men and said, listen, someone is a trader. Somebody's leaking

158
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:55,400
Speaker 2: valuable information.

159
00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:56,560
Speaker 1: I need to know who it is.

160
00:07:57,400 --> 00:07:59,400
Speaker 2: One of the captains spoke up and said, sir, it's

161
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:02,920
Speaker 2: none of us. Here's the problem. There's a prophet over

162
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:07,120
Speaker 2: in Israel, and everything you whisper to us in secret,

163
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:12,200
Speaker 2: God tells him and he announces to the people in public. Friends,

164
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:15,600
Speaker 2: you and I have an advantage. If you will be

165
00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:19,080
Speaker 2: sensitive to what you're hearing down in here, God will

166
00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:22,360
Speaker 2: not only protect you from danger, but he will even

167
00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:23,800
Speaker 2: tell you what your.

168
00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:24,960
Speaker 1: Enemy is going to do. Next.

169
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:29,160
Speaker 2: You talk about having the upper hand, somebody's trying to

170
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:32,600
Speaker 2: block you at the office. Talk bad about you, ruin

171
00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:35,960
Speaker 2: your reputation. They think they're putting up a barrier. What

172
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:38,840
Speaker 2: they don't realize is God's already shown you how to

173
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:41,959
Speaker 2: go around. You're always one step ahead. They're looking back

174
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:45,360
Speaker 2: waiting for you, but you've moved forward. You had inside information.

175
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:49,280
Speaker 2: What am I saying? If you will stay tuned to

176
00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:53,360
Speaker 2: the right frequency, you will have insight to know things

177
00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:57,560
Speaker 2: that you normally would not have known, and intuition and impression.

178
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:02,000
Speaker 2: Sometimes you just feel it down here. You can't explain.

179
00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:04,199
Speaker 2: It doesn't make sense to your head.

180
00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:05,080
Speaker 1: It's a knowing.

181
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:08,840
Speaker 2: Somebody asks him, how do you really know that's the

182
00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:11,200
Speaker 2: right thing? How do you really know that's going to happen?

183
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:13,720
Speaker 2: Your answer is, I don't know how I know.

184
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:14,600
Speaker 1: I just know.

185
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:18,040
Speaker 2: I don't have any data backing me up. I don't

186
00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:20,840
Speaker 2: have ten years worth of research, but I do have

187
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:23,840
Speaker 2: the spirit of the Most High God.

188
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:26,080
Speaker 1: Living on the inside of me. I have a.

189
00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:30,800
Speaker 2: Counselor a helper, an advisor, a researcher. I am tuned

190
00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:35,480
Speaker 2: to a frequency that gives me inside information. I have

191
00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:39,160
Speaker 2: a friend that bought some property years ago, way out

192
00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:42,480
Speaker 2: in the middle of nowhere. He hardly paid anything for

193
00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:45,360
Speaker 2: it less than one hundred dollars an acre. He bought

194
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:48,520
Speaker 2: over three hundred acres, and in the natural it looked

195
00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:51,840
Speaker 2: like he had wasted his money. The land was dry

196
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:55,480
Speaker 2: and bearing. You couldn't raise cattle on it. You couldn't

197
00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:56,520
Speaker 2: grow any crops.

198
00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:58,000
Speaker 1: It was like the desert.

199
00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:02,960
Speaker 2: It's just sand and cactus and clay, and ever so

200
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:05,400
Speaker 2: often he would go out there and check on it,

201
00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:08,920
Speaker 2: and it always puzzled me as to why he purchased

202
00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:11,840
Speaker 2: that property. I thought, maybe he knows something that I

203
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:14,600
Speaker 2: don't know. Maybe he's got family out that way, maybe

204
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:17,080
Speaker 2: he's going to develop it. One day I got my

205
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:20,040
Speaker 2: nerve up and I asked him, why do you buy

206
00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:21,880
Speaker 2: that land out there? What are you planning on doing

207
00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:25,680
Speaker 2: with it? I'll never forget what he told me. He said, Joel,

208
00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:27,800
Speaker 2: I don't really know why I bought it.

209
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:30,439
Speaker 1: I was just so drawn to it.

210
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:33,240
Speaker 2: When I saw it, I felt good about it. I

211
00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:35,600
Speaker 2: had peace, and I knew it was right for me

212
00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:37,120
Speaker 2: in my mind.

213
00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:38,280
Speaker 1: That was so odd.

214
00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:41,240
Speaker 2: I thought to myself, mister, you need to make better

215
00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:42,080
Speaker 2: decisions than that.

216
00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:45,080
Speaker 1: When you go to buy property, you need to research it.

217
00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:48,679
Speaker 2: Me find some valuable property property that can increase, not

218
00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:52,040
Speaker 2: go down. What I didn't realize was God had given

219
00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:56,920
Speaker 2: him inside information. Fifteen years later, he got a certified

220
00:10:57,040 --> 00:10:59,640
Speaker 2: letter from the state saying they were putting a new

221
00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:02,400
Speaker 2: free way in It was going to go right through

222
00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:05,560
Speaker 2: his property. The state had to buy him out. He

223
00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:09,600
Speaker 2: made over one hundred times what he invested in that property.

224
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:12,319
Speaker 2: The next time he buys land, I'm going to buy

225
00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:18,560
Speaker 2: right next door to him. This gentleman, he's an older

226
00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:21,760
Speaker 2: man kind of country. And a reporter from that regional

227
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:24,600
Speaker 2: area was talking to him and said, sir, you really

228
00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:25,680
Speaker 2: know how to pick a.

229
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:26,880
Speaker 1: Good piece of property.

230
00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:30,040
Speaker 2: He smiled and said, yeah, my father told me about

231
00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:32,680
Speaker 2: this place. The reporter perked up and said, I didn't

232
00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:35,360
Speaker 2: know your father was in real estate. He pointed up

233
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:37,920
Speaker 2: and said, no, I'm talking about my heavenly father.

234
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:40,440
Speaker 1: He knows everything about everything.

235
00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:45,000
Speaker 2: And I think about of all the places in the

236
00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:47,480
Speaker 2: world he could have bought property, how could he have

237
00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:51,520
Speaker 2: known to possibly choose that property. Here's how he was

238
00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:55,320
Speaker 2: tuned to the right frequency. He followed that impression down

239
00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:57,440
Speaker 2: in here didn't make sense to his mind.

240
00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:00,880
Speaker 1: His head said you're making a big mistake. But deep

241
00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:03,360
Speaker 1: down in here he knew that He knew it was

242
00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:04,480
Speaker 1: the right thing for him.

243
00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:08,800
Speaker 2: If you will follow that still small voice, God will

244
00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:11,760
Speaker 2: lead you down the best path for your life. You

245
00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:16,559
Speaker 2: too will come across supernatural opportunities, supernatural.

246
00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:17,640
Speaker 1: Breaks Like this man.

247
00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:20,400
Speaker 2: There will be times that you make decisions that don't

248
00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:22,839
Speaker 2: make a lot of sense in the natural, but deep

249
00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:26,840
Speaker 2: down you know it's the right thing for you. My

250
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:30,400
Speaker 2: brother Paul, as you know, is a surgeon. He's in Kenya,

251
00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:33,240
Speaker 2: Africa right now, and he's operating in one of the

252
00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:37,240
Speaker 2: charity hospitals on the less fortunate people. He told how

253
00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:40,720
Speaker 2: when he was there last year, this young Kenyan couple

254
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:42,480
Speaker 2: brought their one month.

255
00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:46,040
Speaker 1: Old baby to him. The baby was very, very sick.

256
00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:49,920
Speaker 2: Paul examined the little child and diagnosed him with something

257
00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:54,400
Speaker 2: called prolapse that's very common in Africa. Is caused from

258
00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:58,600
Speaker 2: malnutrition and from worms getting into the child's system, and

259
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:01,120
Speaker 2: the way you treat it is by the proper diet

260
00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:04,280
Speaker 2: and by pills to kill those worms. But it's not

261
00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:08,120
Speaker 2: a diagnosis that requires any type of surgery. So Paul

262
00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:10,640
Speaker 2: gave the pills to the little baby, went about his

263
00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:14,200
Speaker 2: way that night, two o'clock in the morning, Paul woke

264
00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:18,079
Speaker 2: up wide awake thinking about that little baby. He could

265
00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:20,719
Speaker 2: not get that child off of his mind. He had

266
00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:24,760
Speaker 2: an unrest, a troubling in his spirit. The next morning,

267
00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:28,200
Speaker 2: first thing he got to the hospital, he examined the

268
00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:31,920
Speaker 2: little baby again to make sure he had not misdiagnosed

269
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:35,240
Speaker 2: the child, and he came away with the same conclusion,

270
00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:38,600
Speaker 2: the child did not need any kind of surgery. Paul

271
00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:41,480
Speaker 2: still didn't have peace, so he went to the little

272
00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:45,080
Speaker 2: medical library and he began to read every article he

273
00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:47,960
Speaker 2: could find on that condition called prolapse.

274
00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:52,000
Speaker 1: Everything said the same thing, the child doesn't require surgery.

275
00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:54,840
Speaker 2: Paul still couldn't feel good about it, so he just

276
00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:58,760
Speaker 2: stayed hour after hour. He began to research and find

277
00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:03,440
Speaker 2: every article, every magazine, every textbook. Finally, he came across

278
00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:07,560
Speaker 2: a little paragraph in an older textbook. It said, in

279
00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:12,600
Speaker 2: extremely rare cases, prolapse can be confused with the serious

280
00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:17,720
Speaker 2: blockage of the intestines that requires immediate surgery. When Paul

281
00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:21,160
Speaker 2: read that, something leaped on the inside. It was like

282
00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:24,120
Speaker 2: a light turned on. He rushed down to the hospital.

283
00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:28,160
Speaker 2: Through an interpreter, he asked those Kenyan parents, can I

284
00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:31,480
Speaker 2: have permission to operate on your little baby. I don't

285
00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:33,520
Speaker 2: have all the tests to back it up, but I

286
00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:35,600
Speaker 2: can sense something is wrong.

287
00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:37,600
Speaker 1: They gave him permission.

288
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:40,960
Speaker 2: When Paul opened up the little child's belly, much to

289
00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:46,000
Speaker 2: his amazement, he saw those bowels were black with ganggreen.

290
00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:49,440
Speaker 2: They had become twisted where the blood supply had been

291
00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:53,440
Speaker 2: cut off. Twenty four hours more, Paul said, certainly the

292
00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:57,640
Speaker 2: little child would have died. What is that inside information?

293
00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:01,800
Speaker 2: The spirit of the Most High God is alive on

294
00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:05,880
Speaker 2: the inside of every believer. You and I have an advantage.

295
00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:08,280
Speaker 1: If we will.

296
00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:11,640
Speaker 2: Be sensitive, God will give us insight in the things

297
00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:13,400
Speaker 2: we would not have normally known.

298
00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:14,880
Speaker 1: God will give.

299
00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:18,640
Speaker 2: You wisdom to help other people. He'll give you wisdom

300
00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:23,000
Speaker 2: to solve difficult problems. Not only that, God will give you.

301
00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:25,680
Speaker 1: Discernment to know right from wrong.

302
00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:28,800
Speaker 2: Discernment to see through a phony, and to know what

303
00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:32,680
Speaker 2: is really true. And this is so important in our relationships.

304
00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:36,440
Speaker 2: I've found that people are not always who they.

305
00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:36,960
Speaker 1: Say they are.

306
00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:41,000
Speaker 2: How they appear on the outside doesn't always match up

307
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:44,040
Speaker 2: to who they are on the inside. If you will listen,

308
00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:47,800
Speaker 2: God will give you discernment. He will give you the

309
00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:52,680
Speaker 2: ability to see through phoniness. For someone that has ulterior motives.

310
00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:56,840
Speaker 2: I know I've met people before and immediately I felt

311
00:15:56,880 --> 00:16:00,400
Speaker 2: good about them. Haven't known them for ten minutes. Something

312
00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:03,640
Speaker 2: bears witness down in here. Then there are other people

313
00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:06,440
Speaker 2: that I've met and they seem as nice as can be,

314
00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:10,280
Speaker 2: They're friendly, but for some reason, I just can't get comfortable.

315
00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:11,440
Speaker 1: Can't put my.

316
00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:14,840
Speaker 2: Finger on it, but something is just not right. It

317
00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:17,160
Speaker 2: doesn't mean they're not a good person, but I know

318
00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:21,040
Speaker 2: they're not right for me. I've learned to just back off.

319
00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:25,640
Speaker 2: That's God giving us discernment, giving us wisdom to make

320
00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:29,800
Speaker 2: good decisions. You're not always going to understand why you

321
00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:32,720
Speaker 2: feel a certain way. You may not be able to

322
00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:34,800
Speaker 2: explain it doesn't make sense.

323
00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:35,160
Speaker 1: To your mind.

324
00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:38,160
Speaker 2: Don't try to figure it out. Just trust what God

325
00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:41,320
Speaker 2: is saying to you. He knows what's best. And really,

326
00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:44,720
Speaker 2: God is the only one that knows what people are

327
00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:48,000
Speaker 2: really like. He can see through the surface down to

328
00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:52,280
Speaker 2: a person's heart. Not everyone that appears nice and kind

329
00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:55,200
Speaker 2: is all that they're cracked up to be. Some people

330
00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:59,080
Speaker 2: have ulterior motives. They want to be your friend for

331
00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:01,640
Speaker 2: what you can do for them and how you can

332
00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:05,880
Speaker 2: make their life better. They are takers and never givers.

333
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:08,960
Speaker 2: Once they use you up, they'll move on to somebody else.

334
00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:12,679
Speaker 2: If you'll be sensitive, God will warn you about people

335
00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:16,200
Speaker 2: like that. You'll feel alarm in your spirit and unrest

336
00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:20,080
Speaker 2: down in here. What is that God giving you inside information?

337
00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:23,800
Speaker 2: I met a man years ago. He seemed as good

338
00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:26,679
Speaker 2: as gold, kind, friendly, said all.

339
00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:29,800
Speaker 1: The right things. Other people I knew liked him.

340
00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:34,560
Speaker 2: But from day one I had an uneasiness. Something down

341
00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:37,080
Speaker 2: in here, said Joel. Don't get close to him, be

342
00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:39,760
Speaker 2: careful what you say around him. Don't let your guard down.

343
00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:41,760
Speaker 2: My mind said Joel.

344
00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:45,000
Speaker 1: Quit being overly sensitive. Lighten up a little bit. He's

345
00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:45,600
Speaker 1: a good man.

346
00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:49,560
Speaker 2: Down in here, the alarm kept going off. No, no danger, trouble.

347
00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:53,000
Speaker 2: Something's not right. I paid attention to what I was feeling.

348
00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:56,200
Speaker 2: I followed that peace and never got close to him.

349
00:17:56,840 --> 00:17:58,760
Speaker 2: Sure Enough, it came out years later.

350
00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:00,679
Speaker 1: He was not who he said he was.

351
00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:04,159
Speaker 2: He deceived many people out of money, didn't have the

352
00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:08,560
Speaker 2: business the accomplishments that he said. What's my point? God

353
00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:12,240
Speaker 2: knows what people are really like. When something is not

354
00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:15,560
Speaker 2: right for you, you'll hear the alarm go off.

355
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:17,520
Speaker 1: You will feel and unrest.

356
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:19,919
Speaker 2: But You've got to do your part and not go

357
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:23,360
Speaker 2: against what you're sensing down in here. That's God's speaking

358
00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:27,240
Speaker 2: to you. Too many people just ignore the warnings. When

359
00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:30,000
Speaker 2: the alarm goes off, they push it down again and again,

360
00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:33,920
Speaker 2: and usually it's because they want their own way. They

361
00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:37,840
Speaker 2: don't realize God's ways are much better than our ways.

362
00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:40,560
Speaker 1: God can see the big picture for your life.

363
00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:43,600
Speaker 2: He can see the dead end that's around the corner

364
00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:46,800
Speaker 2: that you can't see. He knows what's gonna cost heartache

365
00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:49,480
Speaker 2: and pain. He can see the shortcuts that'll get us

366
00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:53,800
Speaker 2: somewhere quicker. You have to realize God always has your

367
00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:57,800
Speaker 2: best interest at heart. That opportunity may look great, but

368
00:18:57,840 --> 00:19:00,880
Speaker 2: if there's an unrest, that simply means means God has

369
00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:03,960
Speaker 2: something better come in your way. When you say, Joel,

370
00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:06,399
Speaker 2: this man i'm dating, I really like him, got a

371
00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:09,600
Speaker 2: good personality, makes good money, He's just right for me.

372
00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:10,480
Speaker 1: That's great.

373
00:19:10,520 --> 00:19:12,399
Speaker 2: If you feel good about it, move forward. There's a

374
00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:16,240
Speaker 2: divine connection. But if there's an unrest, a.

375
00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:18,879
Speaker 1: Check in your spirit, it's easy.

376
00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:20,360
Speaker 2: To do like me and think, oh, I'm just being

377
00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:23,479
Speaker 2: overly sensitive. After all, this is a once and a

378
00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:27,280
Speaker 2: lifetime opportunity. I may never meet anyone like him, and

379
00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:29,639
Speaker 2: if we're not careful, we'll push the alarm down again

380
00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:30,159
Speaker 2: and again.

381
00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:32,800
Speaker 1: That's what gets us off of God's best path.

382
00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:36,800
Speaker 2: But understand, God is not trying to take anything away

383
00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:39,720
Speaker 2: from you. He's not trying to make your life miserable.

384
00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:42,800
Speaker 2: It's just the opposite. He's trying to keep you from

385
00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:46,000
Speaker 2: heartache and pain. Now, I've talked to a person after

386
00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:48,800
Speaker 2: person that have gone way down the road in a

387
00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:52,800
Speaker 2: relationship that they didn't feel good about, and they end

388
00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:57,720
Speaker 2: up hurt, disappointed, wasting valuable years. They tell me again

389
00:19:57,840 --> 00:20:01,000
Speaker 2: and again, Joel, at the very beginning, I didn't feel

390
00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:04,120
Speaker 2: peace about it. I knew down in here something wasn't right,

391
00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:05,840
Speaker 2: but I went ahead anyway.

392
00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:07,080
Speaker 1: What happened.

393
00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:12,120
Speaker 2: God was giving them inside information. God gave them discernment,

394
00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:14,919
Speaker 2: But they got caught up in the excitement and the

395
00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:16,760
Speaker 2: emotion of the moment and.

396
00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:19,000
Speaker 1: They overrode what they were feeling down in here.

397
00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:22,960
Speaker 2: God wants to lead us, but he's not going to

398
00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:26,960
Speaker 2: drag us. If you will be sensitive, God will always

399
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:28,359
Speaker 2: give you a warning.

400
00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:31,600
Speaker 1: Before you make a mistake. The alarm will go off.

401
00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:35,159
Speaker 2: There will be an unrest when you feel that be

402
00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:39,080
Speaker 2: wise enough to just step back, slow down, pay attention

403
00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:40,920
Speaker 2: to what God is saying down in here.

404
00:20:41,680 --> 00:20:43,720
Speaker 1: Colossians three point fifteen puts it like this.

405
00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:49,159
Speaker 2: Let peace act as an umpire, deciding with finality the

406
00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:53,400
Speaker 2: decisions that arise in our minds. This is saying peace

407
00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:56,760
Speaker 2: should be the deciding factor when it comes to the

408
00:20:56,800 --> 00:21:00,280
Speaker 2: decisions we make. In other words, how do I feel

409
00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:01,280
Speaker 2: about this situation?

410
00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:04,520
Speaker 1: Do I have a piece? Or is there an unrest?

411
00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:08,919
Speaker 2: This principle can help us in our everyday life. On

412
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:11,719
Speaker 2: our recent trip to Australia, Victoria and I got up

413
00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:14,639
Speaker 2: early one morning to go get breakfast, and I noticed

414
00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:18,080
Speaker 2: the way to walk by with a big stack of pancakes.

415
00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:21,639
Speaker 2: I love pancakes, but I never eat them anymore because

416
00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:24,880
Speaker 2: they make me feel so lethargic and so blah when

417
00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:29,160
Speaker 2: I do. But these pancakes smell so good. I thought,

418
00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:32,360
Speaker 2: this one time is not gonna affect me. Besides, these

419
00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:34,840
Speaker 2: are Australian pancakes.

420
00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:36,120
Speaker 1: These are special.

421
00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:39,679
Speaker 2: So ordered me a big stack of pancakes. The whole

422
00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:43,000
Speaker 2: time down in here I felt uneasy. Something was telling

423
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:45,000
Speaker 2: me jo, oh, you better not eat them. They're gonna

424
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:48,520
Speaker 2: make you feel bad. I thought, get behind me, Satan.

425
00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:52,000
Speaker 1: That could not be God. I want these pancakes.

426
00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:56,640
Speaker 2: I ate three big ones and they were delicious. I thought,

427
00:21:56,680 --> 00:21:59,600
Speaker 2: that's exactly what I needed. Do you know, thirty minutes

428
00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:02,080
Speaker 2: later I felt like I'd been run over by a truck.

429
00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:03,760
Speaker 1: I had to go lay down.

430
00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:07,760
Speaker 2: And that was a small decision with a small consequence.

431
00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:11,639
Speaker 2: But how many people buy things that they didn't have

432
00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:14,880
Speaker 2: peace about Now they head over heels in death. How

433
00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:17,680
Speaker 2: many people get into a relationship that they turned the

434
00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:20,760
Speaker 2: alarm off again and again. Now it's a big mess. Now,

435
00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:24,119
Speaker 2: don't override what you're feeling down in here. Let peace

436
00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:28,000
Speaker 2: act as the umpire safer out yes or no. My

437
00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:31,280
Speaker 2: father for many years tried to buy the property across

438
00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:34,159
Speaker 2: the street from our first small church. It was a

439
00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:37,760
Speaker 2: big open field with some cows out there grazing twenty acres.

440
00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:41,240
Speaker 2: At that time, Lakewood only had two or three acres.

441
00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:43,640
Speaker 2: That was barely enough for the ninety members to have

442
00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:46,920
Speaker 2: services and park on. They didn't have any place to expand.

443
00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:49,120
Speaker 2: My father knew one day they were going to build

444
00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:53,639
Speaker 2: a bigger sanctuary. His mind, that land was extremely valuable,

445
00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:56,400
Speaker 2: So he went and met with the owners and.

446
00:22:56,359 --> 00:22:57,399
Speaker 1: They agreed to sell it.

447
00:22:57,840 --> 00:23:01,680
Speaker 2: They wanted four hundred thousand dollars twenty thousand dollars an acre.

448
00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:04,680
Speaker 2: That was a fair price back then. The owners even

449
00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:08,440
Speaker 2: agreed to finance it themselves, and my father was prepared

450
00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:11,840
Speaker 2: to present it to the congregation. Began raising funds, but

451
00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:14,760
Speaker 2: all of a sudden, he felt an unrest.

452
00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:16,440
Speaker 1: Didn't feel good about it.

453
00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:19,720
Speaker 2: He pushed the alarm down, thought, all that's just my nerves.

454
00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:21,960
Speaker 2: I'm just a little anxious because I got to raise

455
00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:25,280
Speaker 2: so much money. But week after week it didn't go away.

456
00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:28,320
Speaker 2: Every time he thought about it, he felt that uneasiness.

457
00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:31,320
Speaker 2: Finally he put it on hold, told the owners were

458
00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:34,240
Speaker 2: not going to be able to purchase it. Five years later,

459
00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:38,200
Speaker 2: my dad got all stirred up. We need that property,

460
00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:40,920
Speaker 2: went back and met with the owners. They said, fine,

461
00:23:40,960 --> 00:23:43,040
Speaker 2: we'll sell it to you for the same amount we

462
00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:47,639
Speaker 2: asked before. My dad left there all fired up, thinking

463
00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:49,240
Speaker 2: this is going to be when we're going to buy

464
00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:52,359
Speaker 2: the property. But once again, as he went to present

465
00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:55,360
Speaker 2: it to the church, he felt the alarm going off

466
00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:58,440
Speaker 2: down in here. He thought, God, I don't understand it.

467
00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:01,560
Speaker 2: You know we need this property is valuable to us.

468
00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:04,560
Speaker 2: He couldn't get comfortable, so he put it on hold.

469
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:09,159
Speaker 2: Five years later, ten years after his original meeting, he

470
00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:13,320
Speaker 2: went back to the owners. This time, the market was down,

471
00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:14,640
Speaker 2: the economy was slow.

472
00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:16,840
Speaker 1: The owner really needed to sell.

473
00:24:17,240 --> 00:24:20,080
Speaker 2: When my father walked in, the owner said, we asked

474
00:24:20,080 --> 00:24:22,879
Speaker 2: twenty thousand an acre before. How about we sell it

475
00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:25,600
Speaker 2: to you for five thousand and an acre now. The

476
00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:29,240
Speaker 2: price went from four hundred thousand to one hundred thousand.

477
00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:33,000
Speaker 2: Ten years later, that's when Lakewood purchased all that other land.

478
00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:36,720
Speaker 2: When you feel an uneasiness and unrest, it's not God

479
00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:39,679
Speaker 2: trying to take something from you. It's God trying to

480
00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:42,760
Speaker 2: get something to you. It's God saying, hey, wait a minute,

481
00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:45,920
Speaker 2: I've got something better in story. I'm going to amaze

482
00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:49,600
Speaker 2: you with my goodness. Gon't be hard headed and have

483
00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:52,520
Speaker 2: to have it your way in your timing. If you'll

484
00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:55,000
Speaker 2: let God lead you, he'll take it into some of

485
00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:58,560
Speaker 2: these explosive blessings, blessings that thrust you to a new level.

486
00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:03,320
Speaker 2: With my father, we're pursuing the right thing. It's just

487
00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:06,840
Speaker 2: not the right time. And I've learned this that everything

488
00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:09,399
Speaker 2: God has laid up for me, everything that has my

489
00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:13,359
Speaker 2: name on it. Nothing can stop me from that, No

490
00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:16,919
Speaker 2: person can hold me back, no circumstance can stop me.

491
00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:20,440
Speaker 2: Nothing can stand against our God. At the right time,

492
00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:24,080
Speaker 2: God will make it happen. And I believe even right now,

493
00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:26,879
Speaker 2: there is property with your name on it. There's a

494
00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:29,520
Speaker 2: house with your name on it. There's a spouse with

495
00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:33,000
Speaker 2: your name on it. There's healing with your name on it, promotion.

496
00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:33,640
Speaker 1: With your name on it.

497
00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:36,920
Speaker 2: If you will stay in faith and just keep following

498
00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:40,199
Speaker 2: that still small voice, then at the right time, what

499
00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:41,320
Speaker 2: already has.

500
00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:43,280
Speaker 1: Your name on it is going to be released to you.

501
00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:47,800
Speaker 2: God will make sure you come in to the right opportunities,

502
00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:51,000
Speaker 2: the right people, the right breaks. And you may have

503
00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:53,800
Speaker 2: had closed doors in the past, but don't lose heart.

504
00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:56,840
Speaker 2: It either wasn't the right time or God has something

505
00:25:56,880 --> 00:25:59,199
Speaker 2: better come in your way. I want you to go

506
00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:03,439
Speaker 2: out each day knowing that you have inside information. You

507
00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:08,520
Speaker 2: have a counselor an advisor, a helper living in you.

508
00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:11,080
Speaker 1: It is the spirit of the Most High God.

509
00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:15,000
Speaker 2: Don't override what you're feeling down in here.

510
00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:18,160
Speaker 1: That's God talking to you. He knows what's best.

511
00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:20,800
Speaker 2: When you have a decision to make, let peace be

512
00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:23,560
Speaker 2: the umpire and if you'll learn to fall of this

513
00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:27,000
Speaker 2: knowing down in here, God will lead you and guide

514
00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:30,160
Speaker 2: you down the best path for your life. I want

515
00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:32,920
Speaker 2: to declare this over each one of you receive these words.

516
00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:37,680
Speaker 2: You have wisdom to make great decisions. You have discernment

517
00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:41,399
Speaker 2: to know right from wrong. You have the ability to

518
00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:46,280
Speaker 2: solve difficult problems because you have inside information. You're gonna

519
00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:50,240
Speaker 2: see favor like you've never seen before. God's blessings are

520
00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:57,280
Speaker 2: gonna chase you down and overtake you. Supernatural connections, supernatural breakthrough, supernatural.

521
00:26:56,600 --> 00:26:58,119
Speaker 1: Doors are coming your way.

522
00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:01,600
Speaker 2: Now, believe in and declare every dream, every promise, every

523
00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:02,600
Speaker 2: desire God's.

524
00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:05,640
Speaker 1: Put in your heart. You will see that come to pass. Amen.

525
00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:06,879
Speaker 1: Do you receive that today?

526
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:11,640
Speaker 2: Well, we never like to close our broadcast without giving

527
00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:14,560
Speaker 2: you an opportunity to make Jesus the lord of your life.

528
00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:18,520
Speaker 2: Would you pray with me, just say, Lord, Jesus, I

529
00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:22,960
Speaker 2: repent of my sins. Come into my heart. I make

530
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:26,399
Speaker 2: you my Lord and savior. Friends, if you prayed that

531
00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:29,200
Speaker 2: simple prayer, we believe you got born again. Get in

532
00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:32,480
Speaker 2: a good Bible based church, keep God first place. He's

533
00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:36,760
Speaker 2: gonna take your places you've never dreamed of breathtaking.

534
00:27:37,359 --> 00:27:39,879
Speaker 3: That's what you feel when you look out at majestic

535
00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:45,040
Speaker 3: mountain peaks. Yes, God's creation truly is a masterpiece, but

536
00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:48,840
Speaker 3: even as you consider his handiwork, you might also feel

537
00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:53,880
Speaker 3: bless that, not good enough or not valuable. The image

538
00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:57,800
Speaker 3: before you is incredible, but the confidence inside is lacking.

539
00:27:58,359 --> 00:27:59,440
Speaker 1: How do you overcome this?

540
00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:04,040
Speaker 2: The opinion you have of yourself is your most important opinion.

541
00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:09,040
Speaker 2: Too often we see ourselves as ordinary, not talented, unattractive.

542
00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:12,560
Speaker 2: That wrong self image is setting the limits for our life.

543
00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:15,440
Speaker 2: The key is to get an agreement with who God

544
00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:20,560
Speaker 2: says you are. He calls you a masterpiece, strong, talented, valuable.

545
00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:23,920
Speaker 2: If you'll have the right image of yourself, you'll rise

546
00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:27,159
Speaker 2: higher and become who you were created to be. We

547
00:28:27,240 --> 00:28:29,440
Speaker 2: have a new resource that will help you do just that.

Speaker 2: as the masterpiece God created you to be.

561
