The sergeant asked him what 48 00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:21,880 Speaker 6: would you do if you had to arrest your own 49 00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:25,600 Speaker 6: mother in law without missing a beat? He said, call 50 00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:29,600 Speaker 6: for back up. Say it like you mean it. This 51 00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:32,119 Speaker 6: is my Bible. I am what it says I am. 52 00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:35,040 Speaker 6: I have what it says I have. I can do 53 00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:37,640 Speaker 6: what it says I can do. Today I will be 54 00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:41,560 Speaker 6: taught the word of God. I boldly confess. My mind 55 00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:44,920 Speaker 6: is alert, my heart is receptive. I will never be 56 00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:50,240 Speaker 6: the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you. I want 57 00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:54,880 Speaker 6: to talk to you today about say so. Words have 58 00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:59,200 Speaker 6: creative power. When you speak something out, you give life 59 00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:02,880 Speaker 6: to what you're saying. It's one thing to believe that 60 00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:07,519 Speaker 6: you're blessed. That's important, but when you say I am blessed, 61 00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:11,000 Speaker 6: it takes on a whole new meaning. That's when blessings 62 00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:15,079 Speaker 6: come looking for you. The scripture says, let the redeemed 63 00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:19,760 Speaker 6: of the Lord say so, doesn't say let the redeemed 64 00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:24,239 Speaker 6: think so, or believe so, or hope so. That's all good, 65 00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:27,639 Speaker 6: but you have to take it one step further and 66 00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:30,880 Speaker 6: say so. If you're going to go to the next level, 67 00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:34,279 Speaker 6: you've got to say so. If you're going to accomplish 68 00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:38,600 Speaker 6: a dream, overcome an obstacle, break an addiction. You've got 69 00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:41,440 Speaker 6: to start declaring it. It has to come out of 70 00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:44,720 Speaker 6: your mouth. That's how you give life to your faith. 71 00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:49,320 Speaker 6: When God created the worlds, he didn't just think them 72 00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:52,839 Speaker 6: into being. He didn't just believe there would be light 73 00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:56,480 Speaker 6: and land and oceans and animals. He had it in 74 00:03:56,560 --> 00:04:02,080 Speaker 6: his heart, but nothing happened until he spoke. He said, 75 00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:06,960 Speaker 6: let there be light, and light came. His thoughts didn't 76 00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:10,480 Speaker 6: set it into motion, his words set it into motion. 77 00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:13,320 Speaker 7: It's the same principle today. 78 00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:17,200 Speaker 6: You can believe all day long and not see anything happen. 79 00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:21,000 Speaker 6: You can have faith in your heart, big dreams, be 80 00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:24,719 Speaker 6: standing on God's promises and never see anything change. 81 00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:29,320 Speaker 7: What's the problem. Nothing happens until you speak. 82 00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:32,920 Speaker 6: Instead of just believing you're going to get out of debt, 83 00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:34,200 Speaker 6: you've got. 84 00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:37,200 Speaker 7: To say so, declare every day. 85 00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:39,919 Speaker 6: I'm coming out of debt. I'm the head and not 86 00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:43,960 Speaker 6: the tail. God's favor surrounds me like a shield. When 87 00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:48,520 Speaker 6: you speak, just like when God spoke, things begin to happen. 88 00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:54,120 Speaker 6: Opportunities will find you, good breaks, promotion, ideas will track 89 00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:58,080 Speaker 6: you down. Instead of just thinking, I hope I get 90 00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:02,000 Speaker 6: over this illness, Joel praying I'll get better. That's good, 91 00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:05,000 Speaker 6: but you've got to take it one more step and 92 00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:09,960 Speaker 6: start declaring it. I'm strong, I'm healthy, I will live 93 00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:12,120 Speaker 6: and not die with long life. 94 00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:13,719 Speaker 7: God is going to satisfy me. 95 00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:18,240 Speaker 6: That's what activates your faith instead of just hoping you 96 00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:20,919 Speaker 6: have a good year, instead of just hoping that you 97 00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:26,000 Speaker 6: accomplish your dreams. Hope is good, but nothing happens until 98 00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:30,240 Speaker 6: you speak. Before you leave the house every day, declare it. 99 00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:34,480 Speaker 6: Twenty thirteen is my year. Things have shifted in my favor. 100 00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:37,599 Speaker 6: God is about to show me something that I've never seen. 101 00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:41,400 Speaker 6: When you talk like that, the angels go to work, 102 00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:44,640 Speaker 6: opening up new doors, lining up the right. 103 00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:46,880 Speaker 7: People, arranging things in your favor. 104 00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:51,200 Speaker 6: Now all of us are hoping, believing, praying about something. 105 00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:54,359 Speaker 7: My question today is are. 106 00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:57,360 Speaker 6: You giving life to your faith by speaking it out. 107 00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:02,280 Speaker 6: Psalm ninety one says I will say of the Lord, 108 00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:06,720 Speaker 6: he is my refuge, my fortress, my shield. The next 109 00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:11,560 Speaker 6: verse says he will deliver me, protect me, cover me. 110 00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:16,880 Speaker 6: Notice the connection I will say and he will do 111 00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:20,560 Speaker 6: doesn't say I believe he's my refuge. I believe he'll 112 00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:24,600 Speaker 6: be my strength. No, the psalmness went around declaring it, 113 00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:27,920 Speaker 6: speaking it out. The Lord is my refuge, The Lord 114 00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:32,920 Speaker 6: is my strength. Notice what happened. God became his refuge, 115 00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:37,159 Speaker 6: his strength. God would say, and in effect, if you're 116 00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:40,279 Speaker 6: bold enough to speak it, then I'm bold enough to 117 00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:44,520 Speaker 6: do it. Have you ever declared that your dreams are 118 00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:48,200 Speaker 6: coming to pass? Have you ever said I will pay 119 00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:51,840 Speaker 6: off my house, I will start my own business, I 120 00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:55,120 Speaker 6: will get my degree, I will lose this weight, I 121 00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:59,040 Speaker 6: will see my family restored. Whatever God's put in your 122 00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:03,520 Speaker 6: heart needs to get in your conversation. Talk like it's 123 00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:06,400 Speaker 6: going to happen. Talk like it's already on the way. 124 00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:10,840 Speaker 6: When I get married, when I graduate from college. When 125 00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:14,480 Speaker 6: I see my family restored, not if it's going to happen, 126 00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:18,160 Speaker 6: but when it's going to happen, that's your faith being released. 127 00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:21,800 Speaker 6: One of our staff members had been trying for a long, 128 00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:25,840 Speaker 6: long time to have a baby, over ten years no success. 129 00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:29,240 Speaker 6: One day we were in a staff meeting planning out 130 00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:32,520 Speaker 6: the next year. She made the statement, when I have 131 00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:35,320 Speaker 6: my baby, I'm going to be out for a couple 132 00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:38,920 Speaker 6: of months. We'll have to find somebody to fill in. Well, 133 00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:41,960 Speaker 6: I thought she was pregnant, and nobody had told me, 134 00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:46,280 Speaker 6: so I didn't act surprised or say anything. After the meeting, 135 00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:49,200 Speaker 6: my sister Lisa was in there as well. I said, Lisa, 136 00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:52,480 Speaker 6: why didn't you tell me she was pregnant. She said, Joel, 137 00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:56,280 Speaker 6: She's not pregnant. She just talks like it's going to happen. 138 00:07:57,120 --> 00:07:58,640 Speaker 7: This went on for years. 139 00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:02,240 Speaker 6: When I have my baby, when I get pregnant, when 140 00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:06,560 Speaker 6: my child shows up, what was she doing saying so? 141 00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:10,320 Speaker 6: She didn't just believe it, she was declaring it in 142 00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:13,760 Speaker 6: the natural. She was getting too old to have a baby. 143 00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:18,240 Speaker 6: Her doctors told her it wasn't going to happen. Looked impossible. 144 00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:22,160 Speaker 6: Most people would have given up and accepted it, but 145 00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:26,040 Speaker 6: not this lady. She kept saying, so, kept declaring it 146 00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:27,640 Speaker 6: when my baby shows up. 147 00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:28,480 Speaker 5: Do you know? 148 00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:32,880 Speaker 6: Twenty years later she gave birth, not to one baby, 149 00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:33,640 Speaker 6: but to two. 150 00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:34,880 Speaker 7: She had twins. 151 00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:39,840 Speaker 6: She declared of the Lord, and God did what he promised. 152 00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:44,640 Speaker 6: But think about the opposite of Psalm ninety one. I 153 00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:48,120 Speaker 6: will not say of the Lord and he will not 154 00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:53,600 Speaker 6: do That's the principle. Nothing happens until you speak. When 155 00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:56,600 Speaker 6: we were trying to acquire this facility, Victoria and I 156 00:08:56,600 --> 00:09:00,600 Speaker 6: would drive around it night after night and say that's 157 00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:04,600 Speaker 6: our building. Father, thank you for fighting our battles. Lord, 158 00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:07,000 Speaker 6: thank you that you're making a way where we don't 159 00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:10,840 Speaker 6: see away. We didn't just think about it, pray about it, 160 00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:14,200 Speaker 6: believe that it would happen, and that's all important. But 161 00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:18,360 Speaker 6: we took one more step and declared that it was ours. 162 00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:22,720 Speaker 6: It became a part of our everyday conversation. 163 00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:23,720 Speaker 7: At the dinner table. 164 00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:26,400 Speaker 6: When we get the compact center, we could do this 165 00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:30,240 Speaker 6: when we renovated, when we move in, when we have 166 00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:35,079 Speaker 6: the grand opening. Not I don't know, Victoria, it's going 167 00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:36,240 Speaker 6: to be very expensive. 168 00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:38,480 Speaker 7: Where are we going to get the funds? I don't know. 169 00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:40,640 Speaker 7: The opponents they're really really strong. 170 00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:44,920 Speaker 6: No, we said of the Lord, like the Psalmist, God, 171 00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:48,480 Speaker 6: we know you're bigger than any obstacle. We know you're 172 00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:51,600 Speaker 6: supplying all of our needs. Lord, we know if you 173 00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:55,520 Speaker 6: be for us, who dare be against us? We declared it, 174 00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:59,640 Speaker 6: and God did it. What are you saying of the 175 00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:03,280 Speaker 6: Lord when Joel, my problems are really big today, my 176 00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:06,720 Speaker 6: dreams look impossible. My marriage is so messed up we'll 177 00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:10,160 Speaker 6: never be restored. No, don't talk about how big your 178 00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:14,240 Speaker 6: problem is. Talk about how big your God is. When 179 00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:15,199 Speaker 6: you say. 180 00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:18,280 Speaker 7: Of the Lord, You're my healer, my. 181 00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:25,080 Speaker 6: Waymaker, my dream giver, my restorer, my vindicator. 182 00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:25,719 Speaker 7: My health, my peace, my. 183 00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:29,040 Speaker 6: Victory, that's when God will show up and do more 184 00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:32,280 Speaker 6: than you can ask or think. I have some friends 185 00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:35,880 Speaker 6: that were believing to have another child. They have a daughter, 186 00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:38,880 Speaker 6: but they really wanted to have a son. And every 187 00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:42,040 Speaker 6: time the wife got pregnant, she had a miscarriage. 188 00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:43,679 Speaker 7: This happened five. 189 00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:47,680 Speaker 6: Times in nine years. They were very discouraged, tempted to 190 00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:51,960 Speaker 6: give up. The man's name is Joe. He'd gone by 191 00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:55,680 Speaker 6: Joe his whole life, but one day he read where 192 00:10:55,720 --> 00:11:01,520 Speaker 6: his full name Joseph, means God will add. When he 193 00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:06,000 Speaker 6: saw that something came alive on the inside, he knew 194 00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:08,800 Speaker 6: God was saying, I'm going to add to you a son. 195 00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:13,720 Speaker 6: He remembered the story in the Scripture where God changed 196 00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:19,040 Speaker 6: Abram's name to Abraham, which means father of many nations. 197 00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:22,840 Speaker 6: God gave Abraham a child, a son, at a very 198 00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:26,880 Speaker 6: old age. When it looked impossible, Joe decided to go 199 00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:30,760 Speaker 6: back to using his original name. He told his family, 200 00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:35,520 Speaker 6: his friends, coworkers, don't call me Joe anymore. Call me Joseph. 201 00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:39,800 Speaker 6: They thought he was having a midlife crisis. But every 202 00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:44,280 Speaker 6: time someone said hello, Joseph, they were saying God, what 203 00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:46,280 Speaker 6: had They were speaking? 204 00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:47,920 Speaker 7: Victory over his life? 205 00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:53,040 Speaker 6: He kept saying so, declaring it. About six months later, 206 00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:56,920 Speaker 6: his wife became pregnant with the baby boy for the. 207 00:11:56,800 --> 00:12:00,360 Speaker 7: First time in ten years. She cared him for term. 208 00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:03,839 Speaker 6: The baby was born healthy and whole, and as a 209 00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:08,000 Speaker 6: testimony to God's goodness, they name that little boy Joseph. 210 00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:10,480 Speaker 7: God will add, well. 211 00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:16,040 Speaker 6: Let me ask you, are you declaring victory over your life, 212 00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:21,760 Speaker 6: over your family, over your career. Nothing happens until you speak. 213 00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:24,360 Speaker 6: When you get up in the morning. You need to 214 00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:28,920 Speaker 6: make some declarations of faith. Whatever God's put in your. 215 00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:31,679 Speaker 7: Heart, declare that it will come to pass. 216 00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:36,000 Speaker 6: I say every day I am increasing in the anointing, 217 00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:41,240 Speaker 6: in wisdom, in favor, and in influence. Every message is 218 00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:45,319 Speaker 6: getting better. God is taking our ministry where no ministry's 219 00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:49,360 Speaker 6: ever gone. You've got to speak favor into your future. 220 00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:54,480 Speaker 6: I declare every day my children will fulfill their destinies. 221 00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:57,600 Speaker 6: Their gifts and talents will come out to the full. 222 00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:02,160 Speaker 6: They will supersede anything that we've done. Ever since I 223 00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:05,560 Speaker 6: took over from my father. I've said when people turned 224 00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:08,960 Speaker 6: me on on television, they cannot turn me off. 225 00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:11,040 Speaker 7: Do you know how many. 226 00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:14,480 Speaker 6: Letters I get from people that said, Joel, I was 227 00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:16,040 Speaker 6: flipping through the channels. 228 00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:18,400 Speaker 7: I don't like TV preachers. 229 00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:21,880 Speaker 6: I never watched TV preachers, but when I turned you on, 230 00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:23,679 Speaker 6: I couldn't turn you off. 231 00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:27,960 Speaker 7: I think to myself. I called you in, I said so. 232 00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:33,599 Speaker 6: One man wrote and told how his wife tried to 233 00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:35,800 Speaker 6: get him to watch the program for many, many years, 234 00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:38,400 Speaker 6: but he wouldn't do it. One day, he was flipping 235 00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:42,160 Speaker 6: through the channels, he came across our program, and normally 236 00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:45,800 Speaker 6: he would flip by it very quickly, but for some reason, 237 00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:50,240 Speaker 6: this day his remote control stopped working and he got 238 00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:54,720 Speaker 6: stuck on our program. He was so frustrated he finagled 239 00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:58,320 Speaker 6: with it, ended up changing the batteries. It still wouldn't work, 240 00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:01,600 Speaker 6: he said, Joel. Even though I tried to act like 241 00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:05,760 Speaker 6: I wasn't listening, you were speaking directly to me. The 242 00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:08,800 Speaker 6: funny thing is when our program was over, the remote 243 00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:11,840 Speaker 6: control went back to work, and just find it, he said. 244 00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:15,760 Speaker 6: Now I never missed one of your programs. When you 245 00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:20,080 Speaker 6: declare favor over your life, over your future, God will 246 00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:23,440 Speaker 6: make things happen that should have never happened. Our attitude 247 00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:26,560 Speaker 6: should be I'm coming out of debt, and I'm saying so, 248 00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:30,560 Speaker 6: twenty thirteen is my year, and I'm saying so, I 249 00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:34,880 Speaker 6: will overcome every obstacle, and I'm saying so. When I 250 00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:39,720 Speaker 6: first started ministering, I was very nervous and very intimidated. 251 00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:42,480 Speaker 6: I knew I was supposed to step up and pastor 252 00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:46,920 Speaker 6: the church, but I'm naturally more quiet and reserved. I 253 00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:49,040 Speaker 6: didn't know if I could get up here really and 254 00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:52,440 Speaker 6: speak and minister in front of people. During the week, 255 00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:55,400 Speaker 6: negative thoughts would bombard my mind. 256 00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:57,160 Speaker 7: I would go and. 257 00:14:57,080 --> 00:15:00,000 Speaker 6: Stand in front of a mirror and talk to myself. 258 00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:04,960 Speaker 6: I would say, Joel, you are strong, you are well able, 259 00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:08,960 Speaker 6: you have what it takes. You are anointed, you are talented, 260 00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:13,160 Speaker 6: you can do this. At that time, nothing that I 261 00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:15,280 Speaker 6: was saying was true. 262 00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:17,880 Speaker 7: I was not strong or confident. 263 00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:22,440 Speaker 6: I did not feel talented, anointed, well able. But as 264 00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:26,600 Speaker 6: I kept saying it, day after day, month after month, 265 00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:31,440 Speaker 6: things started to change. I begin to become what I 266 00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:36,360 Speaker 6: was saying. Over time, it became a reality. 267 00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:37,160 Speaker 7: Here's the key. 268 00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:42,200 Speaker 6: What you keep saying, you are moving toward you may 269 00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:46,160 Speaker 6: be struggling in your finances, but when you keep declaring, 270 00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:49,640 Speaker 6: I'm blessed, I'm prosperous. 271 00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:50,560 Speaker 7: I have the favor of God. 272 00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:54,920 Speaker 6: Every time you say it, you're moving toward increase. You're 273 00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:58,120 Speaker 6: getting closer to seeing that come to pass. You may 274 00:15:58,160 --> 00:16:02,160 Speaker 6: be facing a sickness it look good, But every time 275 00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:07,040 Speaker 6: you declare I'm healthy, I'm strong, I'm getting better. You're 276 00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:11,960 Speaker 6: moving toward health, wholeness, victory. Or perhaps you're struggling with 277 00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:16,320 Speaker 6: an addiction. Every time you declare, I am free, this 278 00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:20,480 Speaker 6: addiction does not control me. You're moving toward freedom. You're 279 00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:25,240 Speaker 6: moving toward breakthroughs now Here's the catch. This works in 280 00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:30,080 Speaker 6: the positive end in the negative. If you're always saying 281 00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:33,880 Speaker 6: I am so unlucky, I never get any good breaks, 282 00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:39,360 Speaker 6: you're moving toward bad breaks, more disappointment. Joel, my back's 283 00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:41,880 Speaker 6: been hurting for three years. I don't think I'll ever 284 00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:46,200 Speaker 6: get well. You're moving toward more sickness, more pain. Or 285 00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:48,960 Speaker 6: I've been through so much, I don't think I'll ever 286 00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:54,640 Speaker 6: be happy again, moving toward more discouragement, more sadness. If 287 00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:58,640 Speaker 6: you will change what you're saying, you will change what 288 00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:03,000 Speaker 6: you're seeing. The scripture says, call the things that are 289 00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:05,359 Speaker 6: not as if they already were. 290 00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:08,240 Speaker 7: A lot of times we do just the opposite. 291 00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:11,480 Speaker 6: We call the things that are as if they will 292 00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:15,560 Speaker 6: always be that way. In other words, we just describe 293 00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:19,240 Speaker 6: the situation. Man, gas is so high. I don't see 294 00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:22,560 Speaker 6: how I'm going to make it. You're calling in more struggle, 295 00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:27,240 Speaker 6: more lack. I can't stand my job. My boss gets 296 00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:30,760 Speaker 6: on my nerves. You're calling in more frustration, more defeat. 297 00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:34,600 Speaker 6: Don't use your words to describe the situation. 298 00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:37,639 Speaker 7: Use your words to change the situation. 299 00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:42,080 Speaker 6: If I would have just complained about how nervous and 300 00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:46,240 Speaker 6: intimidated I was, if I would have gone around saying, 301 00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:49,240 Speaker 6: you know, I can't do this. I'm afraid I don't 302 00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:53,000 Speaker 6: have what it takes. If I would have described the situation, 303 00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:57,359 Speaker 6: I wouldn't be standing here today. If you want to 304 00:17:57,400 --> 00:18:00,560 Speaker 6: know what you're going to be like five years now, 305 00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:04,000 Speaker 6: listen to what you're saying about yourself. 306 00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:08,960 Speaker 7: You are prophesying your future. Five years from. 307 00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:12,120 Speaker 6: Now, My messages are going to be better than they 308 00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:13,640 Speaker 6: are right now. 309 00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:14,920 Speaker 7: Don't you say, thank God? 310 00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:22,040 Speaker 6: Five years from now, I'm going to be stronger, healthier, wiser, 311 00:18:22,440 --> 00:18:28,000 Speaker 6: better looking. Our daughter Alexandra had a copy of my 312 00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:30,800 Speaker 6: first book from ten years ago the other day and 313 00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:31,600 Speaker 6: a copy. 314 00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:32,240 Speaker 7: Of my newest book. 315 00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:35,960 Speaker 6: She was comparing the pictures on the cover. She said, wow, Daddy, 316 00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:38,120 Speaker 6: you look better today. 317 00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:41,200 Speaker 7: Than you did ten years ago. I said, what would 318 00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:42,320 Speaker 7: you like me to buy you? 319 00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:46,600 Speaker 6: But do you know how many times I have said 320 00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:52,359 Speaker 6: I'm getting stronger, healthier, wiser. My youth is being renewed 321 00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:53,280 Speaker 6: like the eagles. 322 00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:55,840 Speaker 7: Every time you say it, you're moving toward it. 323 00:18:57,160 --> 00:19:00,160 Speaker 6: But if you're always saying, man, I'm so out of shape, 324 00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:03,360 Speaker 6: I'll never lose this weight, you're moving toward the wrong thing. 325 00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:06,960 Speaker 7: A gentleman told me last week. He looked to be 326 00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:07,760 Speaker 7: about seventy. 327 00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:12,800 Speaker 6: Joe, when you get old, it's all downhill, that was 328 00:19:12,840 --> 00:19:16,199 Speaker 6: his say. So he was declaring, I'm going down he 329 00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:20,439 Speaker 6: was calling in poor health, lack of vision, hard of hearing. 330 00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:23,720 Speaker 6: He keeps that up, he'll keep moving toward it. By 331 00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:25,760 Speaker 6: the way he looked, he'd already been saying it for 332 00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:30,199 Speaker 6: a long time. And I realized, we're all going to 333 00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:34,119 Speaker 6: get old, we're all eventually going to die.

You are prophesying your future. Maybe you're in 364 00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:27,879 Speaker 6: a difficult time today, instead of complaining, that's just gonna 365 00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:31,879 Speaker 6: draw in more defeat. Your declaration should be I have 366 00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:35,639 Speaker 6: grace for this season.

No, 403 00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:42,600 Speaker 6: declare I am forgiven, I am redeemed. I'm wearing a 404 00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:46,560 Speaker 6: robe of righteousness. God is pleased with me. See the 405 00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:50,200 Speaker 6: scripture says, let the weak, say I'm strong. 406 00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:52,440 Speaker 7: It doesn't say let the. 407 00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:57,000 Speaker 6: Weak talk about the weakness.

That's what happened to a friend of mine. 431 00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:11,720 Speaker 6: She had smoked cigarettes from an early age, and she'd 432 00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:14,280 Speaker 6: tried again and again, but she just could not stop. 433 00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:19,600 Speaker 6: She was constantly saying, I'll never break this addiction. It's 434 00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:23,040 Speaker 6: too hard, and even if I do, I know I 435 00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:26,439 Speaker 6: will gain so much weight. This went on for years. 436 00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:29,600 Speaker 6: One day someone told her what I'm telling you, to 437 00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:33,000 Speaker 6: change what she was saying, to call things that are 438 00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:37,040 Speaker 6: not as if they were. She started saying, I don't 439 00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:41,040 Speaker 6: like to smoke. I can't stand the taste of nicotine. 440 00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:44,800 Speaker 6: I'm going to quit and not gain any extra weight. 441 00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:46,960 Speaker 7: She said that day after day. 442 00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:51,040 Speaker 6: Even when she was smoking and enjoying it, she would say, 443 00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:54,760 Speaker 6: I can't stand to smoke. She wasn't talking about the 444 00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:57,520 Speaker 6: way she was. She was talking about the way she 445 00:25:57,560 --> 00:26:01,240 Speaker 6: wanted to be. About three months later, one morning she 446 00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:04,159 Speaker 6: noticed the cigarette tasted funny. 447 00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:05,240 Speaker 7: Almost bitter. 448 00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:08,639 Speaker 6: She thought she got a bad pack got worse and worse. 449 00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:12,880 Speaker 6: Several months later, it had gotten so bad she couldn't 450 00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:16,040 Speaker 6: stand it anymore. She stopped smoking, and do you know, 451 00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:18,159 Speaker 6: she never gained one extra pound. 452 00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:20,200 Speaker 7: Today she's totally free. 453 00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:24,360 Speaker 6: She broke that addiction in part by the power of 454 00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:25,240 Speaker 6: her words. 455 00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:29,800 Speaker 7: She prophesied her future. Some of you, like her, have. 456 00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:34,160 Speaker 6: Spent years saying negative things over your life. I can't 457 00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:37,399 Speaker 6: break this addiction, Joel. My marriage is never gonna make it. 458 00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:40,119 Speaker 6: I'll never get out of debt. No, you got to 459 00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:42,640 Speaker 6: send your words out in a new direction. 460 00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:45,359 Speaker 7: You are prophesying the wrong thing. 461 00:26:46,359 --> 00:26:50,760 Speaker 6: Get in a habit of making these positive declarations over 462 00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:55,639 Speaker 6: your life every day.
