I will be taught the word 27 00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:13,399 Speaker 1: of God. 28 00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:18,360 Speaker 2: I boldly confess my mind is alert, my heart is receptive. 29 00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:22,319 Speaker 1: I will never be the same.

We didn't get the promotion, we haven't met 36 00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:41,320 Speaker 2: the right person. We wanted to go back to school, 37 00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:45,440 Speaker 2: but nobody supported us. Tried to start our business, We 38 00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:48,800 Speaker 2: had opposition, delays, people did us wrong. 39 00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:52,280 Speaker 1: Now we think it wasn't meant to be, but we 40 00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:53,360 Speaker 1: may have given up. 41 00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:57,160 Speaker 2: The good news is God hasn't given up. He doesn't 42 00:01:57,160 --> 00:02:00,960 Speaker 2: abort dreams. He's called the author and the finisher of 43 00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:04,880 Speaker 2: our faith. The dreams He's whispered in your spirit, the 44 00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:06,320 Speaker 2: promises you're standing on. 45 00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:07,680 Speaker 1: It may be too. 46 00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:10,480 Speaker 2: Much for you, but it's not too much for him. 47 00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:14,840 Speaker 2: He's saying, today, it's still going to happen. You're still 48 00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:17,600 Speaker 2: going to get well, You're still going to meet the 49 00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:21,160 Speaker 2: right person. You're still going to have that baby. You're 50 00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:24,000 Speaker 2: still going to pay your house off, You're still going 51 00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:27,040 Speaker 2: to break that addiction. You're still going to see your 52 00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:31,680 Speaker 2: children fulfill their purpose. See, sometimes you just need faith 53 00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:33,400 Speaker 2: spoken over you. 54 00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:34,560 Speaker 1: Words have power. 55 00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:37,320 Speaker 2: When you've heard for so long that it's not going 56 00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:38,680 Speaker 2: to happen, that. 57 00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:41,720 Speaker 1: Negativity can take root. You have to let all. 58 00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:46,160 Speaker 2: That go and by faith, receive this phrase into your spirit. 59 00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:47,440 Speaker 1: Is still going to happen. 60 00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:50,960 Speaker 2: Now. Every voice may tell you the opposite. There's no 61 00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:55,239 Speaker 2: way what happened by now. You don't have the resources. 62 00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:58,280 Speaker 2: You tried before and it didn't work out. Let that 63 00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:01,360 Speaker 2: go in one ear and out the don't get in 64 00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:02,519 Speaker 2: agreement with the doubt. 65 00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:06,000 Speaker 1: Get in agreement with God. You don't have to see 66 00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:07,040 Speaker 1: how it's going to happen. 67 00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:11,040 Speaker 2: All you have to do is believe. Start declaring favor 68 00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:13,959 Speaker 2: over your life. Start talking like it's going to happen. 69 00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:18,440 Speaker 2: Start thanking God that he's working. When those negative thoughts 70 00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:22,080 Speaker 2: come telling you it's too late, just answer back, no thanks, 71 00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:23,400 Speaker 2: it's still going to happen. 72 00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:26,320 Speaker 1: Well, the medical report doesn't look good. 73 00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:30,000 Speaker 2: That's one report, But I have another report it says 74 00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:31,320 Speaker 2: I'm still going to get well. 75 00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:34,760 Speaker 1: Well, you've had a lot of bad breaks. Looks like 76 00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:35,840 Speaker 1: that set you back. 77 00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:39,600 Speaker 2: No thanks, I'm still going to accomplish my dreams. Your 78 00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:42,600 Speaker 2: children are off course, seems like the more you pray, 79 00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:43,680 Speaker 2: the worse they get. 80 00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:44,760 Speaker 1: No thanks. 81 00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:47,040 Speaker 2: As for me and my house, We're still going to 82 00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:50,360 Speaker 2: serve the Lord. Yeah, but what you're believing for is 83 00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:54,320 Speaker 2: way over your heads. You don't have the resources, the connections, 84 00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:57,800 Speaker 2: the experience. No way that dream could come to pass. No, 85 00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:00,520 Speaker 2: you're looking at it in the natural, But the God 86 00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:04,560 Speaker 2: I serve is supernatural. He's saying, it's still going to happen. 87 00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:09,160 Speaker 2: In the face of doubt, negative voices, people telling you 88 00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:10,440 Speaker 2: it's not going to work out. 89 00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:14,920 Speaker 1: It's very powerful to answer back with this declaration of faith. 90 00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:19,200 Speaker 1: It's still going to happen. You're saying, God, my hope 91 00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:19,800 Speaker 1: is in you. 92 00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:23,880 Speaker 2: I know you're the all powerful creator of the universe. 93 00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:27,800 Speaker 2: What you promise will come to pass. No person can 94 00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:32,880 Speaker 2: stop him. No sickness, no addiction, no delay, all the 95 00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:36,640 Speaker 2: forces of darkness cannot stop what God has purposed for 96 00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:37,240 Speaker 2: your life. 97 00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:41,080 Speaker 1: The only one that can stop him is you. 98 00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:46,360 Speaker 2: If you get discourage, negative, lose your passion, it says 99 00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:51,120 Speaker 2: in Psalms, they limited the Holy one of Israel. God 100 00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:53,640 Speaker 2: told them they were going to go into the Promised Land. 101 00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:58,200 Speaker 2: Along the way, they had delays, setbacks, opposition. 102 00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:00,440 Speaker 1: That was all a part of God plan. 103 00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:04,600 Speaker 2: But what we do in the difficult times will determine 104 00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:08,479 Speaker 2: whether we see the fullness of our destiny. They got 105 00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:11,440 Speaker 2: discouraged and started complaining, what are we going to eat 106 00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:14,040 Speaker 2: out in the desert? How are we going to survive? 107 00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:17,159 Speaker 2: Those people in the Promised Land are too big. 108 00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:19,880 Speaker 1: They look like giants. We don't have a chance. 109 00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:24,080 Speaker 2: The whole time God was whispering, It's still going to happen. 110 00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:28,359 Speaker 1: I'm in control. I'm going to defeat those enemies for you. 111 00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:30,839 Speaker 1: I have provision for every season. 112 00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:35,159 Speaker 2: But they let the doubt what they saw talk them 113 00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:36,719 Speaker 2: out of what God promised. 114 00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:40,680 Speaker 1: Don't be like them. God puts things in our spirit 115 00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:43,360 Speaker 1: on purpose that are too big for us. 116 00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:47,320 Speaker 2: He allows us in situations where we can't get out 117 00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:48,000 Speaker 2: on our own. 118 00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:49,360 Speaker 1: It's a test. 119 00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:52,560 Speaker 2: Are we going to do like them and get discouraged 120 00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:53,839 Speaker 2: miss our purpose? 121 00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:57,720 Speaker 1: Or are we going to let what God says override the. 122 00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:01,800 Speaker 2: Doubt and believe that it's still going to happen despite 123 00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:02,480 Speaker 2: the giants. 124 00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:05,200 Speaker 1: I'm still going to go into my promised land. 125 00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:09,040 Speaker 2: Despite this medical report, I'm still going to get well. 126 00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:13,040 Speaker 2: Despite the opposition. I'm still going to accomplish my dreams. 127 00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:18,240 Speaker 2: Let me declare it over you. Despite the delays, the setbacks, 128 00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:22,520 Speaker 2: how you were raised, You're still going to live a blessed, fulfilled, 129 00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:29,360 Speaker 2: victorious life. Despite the breakup, despite who walked away, the hurts, 130 00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:34,080 Speaker 2: the loneliness. That's not how your story ends. That's one chapter, 131 00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:37,159 Speaker 2: But you have a whole book. You're still going to 132 00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:41,040 Speaker 2: meet someone great. You're still going to laugh again, love again, 133 00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:44,760 Speaker 2: dream again. God says your latter days will be better 134 00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:48,400 Speaker 2: than your former days. Now when the thoughts whisper, now, No, 135 00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:51,880 Speaker 2: it's too late. You've been through too much. It's never 136 00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:56,159 Speaker 2: going to work out. Recognize what's happening. That's the enemy 137 00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:59,400 Speaker 2: trying to keep you from the awesome future God has 138 00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:02,839 Speaker 2: in store. Tune that out and get an agreement with 139 00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:06,600 Speaker 2: your creator. He's saying, it's still going to happen. 140 00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:07,960 Speaker 1: It's not too late. 141 00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:12,360 Speaker 2: The giants aren't too big, the opposition is not too strong. 142 00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:16,560 Speaker 1: He's in control. You wouldn't be hearing this if there. 143 00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:20,880 Speaker 2: Wasn't something amazing about to happen. New doors are about 144 00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:24,040 Speaker 2: to open. The right people are about to show up. 145 00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:28,200 Speaker 2: Your health is going to suddenly turn around, a shift 146 00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:33,080 Speaker 2: in your finances, your career where you're suddenly catapulted where 147 00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:34,040 Speaker 2: you never dreamed. 148 00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:36,840 Speaker 1: What God has in mind is. 149 00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:41,120 Speaker 2: Much bigger, better, more rewarding than what you had in mind. 150 00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:44,760 Speaker 1: There was a man in the scripture named Zeruba Bel. 151 00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:47,840 Speaker 2: God put the dream in his heart to rebuild the 152 00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:51,360 Speaker 2: temple in Jerusalem. The king gave him permission to start 153 00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:54,440 Speaker 2: the project, and he took fifty thousand men and they 154 00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:55,440 Speaker 2: laid the foundation. 155 00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:58,600 Speaker 1: Took two years. They were so excited. 156 00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:04,960 Speaker 2: They had a big selebrations, singing, dancing, trumpets, blowing symbols, clashing. 157 00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:08,480 Speaker 2: The scripture says the people let out a great shout 158 00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:13,480 Speaker 2: praising God. Because the foundation had been laid, Sir rube 159 00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:17,360 Speaker 2: Bel knew God's favor was on his life. Everything was 160 00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:22,320 Speaker 2: falling into place, the supplies, the people, the foundation looked beautiful, 161 00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:25,640 Speaker 2: and they were about to start the next phase when 162 00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:30,400 Speaker 2: opposition arose. The enemies of Judah heard about the progress 163 00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:33,600 Speaker 2: and they didn't like it. They didn't want the temple rebuilt, 164 00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:38,000 Speaker 2: so they started stirring up trouble. It's amazing how when 165 00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:41,960 Speaker 2: you start to make some progress, you see favor promotion. 166 00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:47,400 Speaker 2: How that stirs people up, jealousy, gossip, slander. They had 167 00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:50,560 Speaker 2: no problem with Saruba bel as long as he was average. 168 00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:52,040 Speaker 1: Stay in your. 169 00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:56,000 Speaker 2: Corner, don't make any waves. But God has put greatness 170 00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:59,240 Speaker 2: in you. He's called you to stand out, to be 171 00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:02,600 Speaker 2: a difference man, to take your family to a new level. 172 00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:06,120 Speaker 2: Don't be surprised when you take steps of faith. 173 00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:08,640 Speaker 1: You get out of your comfort zone. 174 00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:12,520 Speaker 2: You start the business, go back to school, you break 175 00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:15,800 Speaker 2: the addiction, you get your family back in church. If 176 00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:19,400 Speaker 2: you don't see people find fault, criticize, why are they 177 00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:23,280 Speaker 2: doing that. They want you to stay average, They want 178 00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:24,360 Speaker 2: you to be mediocre. 179 00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:26,400 Speaker 1: But that's not your destiny. 180 00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:29,520 Speaker 2: God is going to take you places where no one 181 00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:32,480 Speaker 2: in your family has gone. He's going to cause you 182 00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:36,560 Speaker 2: to set a new standard. Now, one requirement is you 183 00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:40,120 Speaker 2: have to be thick skinned. You can't get drawn into 184 00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:44,040 Speaker 2: petty things that will pull you away from your destiny. 185 00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:46,959 Speaker 2: The trick of the enemy is to get you distracted, 186 00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:50,559 Speaker 2: focused on what they're saying, trying to prove to them 187 00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:54,920 Speaker 2: that you're okay, worried about what they think. Don't waste 188 00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:58,680 Speaker 2: your time trying to win people over that are determined 189 00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:02,880 Speaker 2: to misunderstand you. They're not coming against you, They're coming 190 00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:04,920 Speaker 2: against the greatness God put in you. 191 00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:06,439 Speaker 1: They're coming against. 192 00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:09,960 Speaker 2: The favor, the anointing, the calling on your life. You 193 00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:13,640 Speaker 2: have to be an eagle and rise above it. Everyone's 194 00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:14,120 Speaker 2: not going to. 195 00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:17,960 Speaker 1: Be happy when you succeed. That's okay. Stay focused on 196 00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:20,120 Speaker 1: what God has called you to do. 197 00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:22,840 Speaker 2: Don't come down to their level and get involved in 198 00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:26,880 Speaker 2: battles that don't matter. These people continued to stir up 199 00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:29,240 Speaker 2: trouble and lie about zerube Bell. 200 00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:31,640 Speaker 1: They sent a letter to the king. 201 00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:35,280 Speaker 2: Saying that zerube Bell and the people of Judah were troublemakers, 202 00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:37,920 Speaker 2: that they weren't going to pay their taxes, that they 203 00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:40,160 Speaker 2: were trying to take over the city, none of. 204 00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:41,359 Speaker 1: Which was true. 205 00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:45,040 Speaker 2: They were so convincing that the king issued an order 206 00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:46,640 Speaker 2: stopping all construction. 207 00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:49,160 Speaker 1: No work could be done. 208 00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:52,920 Speaker 2: Week after week went by, month after month, even year 209 00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:57,640 Speaker 2: after year, the foundation just sitting there, empty, weeds growing up, 210 00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:02,480 Speaker 2: the property run down. Can imagine jerube Bell stopping by 211 00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:06,120 Speaker 2: at night and walking around seeing the lumbers starting to 212 00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:10,280 Speaker 2: rot and the supplies going to waste. How God I 213 00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:12,920 Speaker 2: know you told me to rebuild. I know what was 214 00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:14,040 Speaker 2: doing the right thing. 215 00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:17,120 Speaker 1: But all this opposition, these people lied about me. 216 00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:20,120 Speaker 2: The authorities have been poisoned. God, it's not fair. 217 00:11:20,960 --> 00:11:22,040 Speaker 1: He was discouraged. 218 00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:25,559 Speaker 2: Thoughts told him you wasted your time. It's never gonna 219 00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:28,920 Speaker 2: work out. Just go back home. But God doesn't make 220 00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:31,120 Speaker 2: a promise and then change his mind. 221 00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:33,000 Speaker 1: He doesn't speak. 222 00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:36,160 Speaker 2: Something to you and then let the circumstances talk him 223 00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:40,079 Speaker 2: out of it. The scripture says everything serves his plan. 224 00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:44,120 Speaker 2: We're not going to understand everything that happens, but the 225 00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:47,280 Speaker 2: right attitude is God. This doesn't make sense to me, 226 00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:51,840 Speaker 2: but I trust you. I know it's serving your plan. See, 227 00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:56,360 Speaker 2: nothing happens without God's permission. Just because he put that 228 00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:59,200 Speaker 2: dream in your heart doesn't mean there won't be delays, 229 00:11:59,559 --> 00:12:03,880 Speaker 2: critic bad breaks, even times when it seems like the 230 00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:07,360 Speaker 2: enemy got the best of you. These people lied and 231 00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:11,240 Speaker 2: shut down the project, Joel, this person walked away. The 232 00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:15,319 Speaker 2: loan didn't go through, My health didn't improve. Right when 233 00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:18,400 Speaker 2: I started to get ahead, the pandemic hit set me back. 234 00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:19,080 Speaker 1: You're right. 235 00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:22,480 Speaker 2: Whereas the Ruba bel was he had seen God's favor. 236 00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:26,120 Speaker 2: Things had fallen into place, and then the bottom fell out. 237 00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:29,679 Speaker 2: That's when these lines will come. It'll never happen now, 238 00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:33,640 Speaker 2: He'll never get well, never see your business succeed, never 239 00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:37,400 Speaker 2: meet the right person. No, God has not changed his mind. 240 00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:41,680 Speaker 2: Despite the delays, the opposition, what wasn't fair. 241 00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:44,520 Speaker 1: He's saying, it is still going to happen. 242 00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:48,160 Speaker 2: You're still going to accomplish the dream, You're still going 243 00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:50,480 Speaker 2: to get well, You're still going to have that baby. 244 00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:54,439 Speaker 2: God said in Philippians, I will bring you to a 245 00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:59,840 Speaker 2: flourishing finish, not a defeated finish, a bankrupt finished, a 246 00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:02,160 Speaker 2: only finish, a betrayed finish. 247 00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:05,079 Speaker 1: God has a victorious finish for. 248 00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:11,720 Speaker 2: You, an abundant finish, a flourishing finish that means you're blossoming, blooming, 249 00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:17,160 Speaker 2: seeing dreams come to pass, going further than you've imagined, healthy, whole, 250 00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:19,600 Speaker 2: fulfill being a bigger. 251 00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:23,199 Speaker 1: Blessing than you've ever dreamed. I've heard it said. 252 00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:27,240 Speaker 2: God always ends on all is well. If all is 253 00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:30,920 Speaker 2: not well, then it's not the end. If it's not good, 254 00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:34,360 Speaker 2: then God is not done. It's just another step on 255 00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:35,599 Speaker 2: the way to your destiny. 256 00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:37,319 Speaker 1: Now, the mistake we. 257 00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:41,200 Speaker 2: Make is we quit believing along the way we laid 258 00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:45,199 Speaker 2: the foundation, we saw God's favor, had a big celebration. 259 00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:51,240 Speaker 2: Then we had setbacks, delays, disappointments. Now every circumstance says 260 00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:55,240 Speaker 2: it's not going to happen. Well, sixteen years later, the 261 00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:57,280 Speaker 2: foundation was still just sitting there. 262 00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:02,440 Speaker 1: Nothing had changed. When two pets showed up, Zachariah and Hagia. 263 00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:07,000 Speaker 2: They said, Zeruba Bel, it's time to start rebuilding the temple. 264 00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:09,920 Speaker 2: He could have thought, what do you mean, do you 265 00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:11,920 Speaker 2: realize it's been sixteen years? 266 00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:15,120 Speaker 1: Do you know what we've been through, what hasn't worked out? 267 00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:17,480 Speaker 1: Who's against us? I thought this. 268 00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:22,080 Speaker 2: Project was done. Zachariah said, no, Zeruba Bel. God sent 269 00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:25,840 Speaker 2: us to tell you it's still going to happen. I 270 00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:30,040 Speaker 2: love how Zarubabel responded, because he could have made excuses. 271 00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:33,600 Speaker 2: We tried and it didn't work out. The opposition is 272 00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:36,760 Speaker 2: still there. I'm too old man, I missed my chance. 273 00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:41,480 Speaker 2: The scripture says Zeruba bell rose up and begin the 274 00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:45,320 Speaker 2: task of rebuilding the temple. Every thought tried to talk 275 00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:48,240 Speaker 2: him out of it, keep him defeated. But when he 276 00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:51,400 Speaker 2: heard God say it's still going to happen, he rose up. 277 00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:55,760 Speaker 2: That means he got in agreement with God. He started 278 00:14:55,800 --> 00:15:00,520 Speaker 2: thinking differently. Yes, this is my time. He started talking differently. 279 00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:04,520 Speaker 2: I'm equipped, empowered, anointed, the favor of God is on 280 00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:08,200 Speaker 2: my life. He took steps of faith, got his men 281 00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:12,240 Speaker 2: back together, God his passion back, his fireback, and they 282 00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:16,000 Speaker 2: started rebuilding. Well, the same jerks, I mean the same 283 00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:19,080 Speaker 2: critics went back to the king. They went back to 284 00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:22,120 Speaker 2: the king, said this man we told you about, he's 285 00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:25,720 Speaker 2: trying to rebuild the temple again. You have to stop him. 286 00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:29,000 Speaker 2: This time it was a new king. There had been 287 00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:33,000 Speaker 2: a change in leadership, and sometimes God has to move 288 00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:35,080 Speaker 2: someone out for your dream to. 289 00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:35,760 Speaker 1: Come to pass. 290 00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:39,080 Speaker 2: He has to weed out the wrong people so he 291 00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:40,320 Speaker 2: can put people. 292 00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:44,600 Speaker 1: In that will serve his plan. Trust his tiny trust 293 00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:45,200 Speaker 1: his ways. 294 00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:49,080 Speaker 2: Just because you laid the foundation and things didn't work 295 00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:52,760 Speaker 2: out doesn't mean God is through what he started. 296 00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:53,960 Speaker 1: He's going to finish. 297 00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:57,880 Speaker 2: This new king told the critics he was going to 298 00:15:57,920 --> 00:16:01,080 Speaker 2: have the official record searched to see what was said 299 00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:05,120 Speaker 2: about this temple. They found a decree where the temple 300 00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:08,280 Speaker 2: was supposed to be rebuilt and paid for. 301 00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:09,760 Speaker 1: Out of the city treasury. 302 00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:13,280 Speaker 2: When the king found out it was for the Israelites, 303 00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:16,520 Speaker 2: God he was afraid he had heard about the God 304 00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:20,520 Speaker 2: of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. He told his people to 305 00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:24,520 Speaker 2: not only leave Zerubebel alone to let him rebuild the temple, 306 00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:27,560 Speaker 2: but he said, you are to pay for the full 307 00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:31,240 Speaker 2: construction costs, and you are to provide them food and 308 00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:32,640 Speaker 2: provisions each day. 309 00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:35,360 Speaker 1: Weat grain, salt, olive oil. 310 00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:40,000 Speaker 2: God not only helped them finish rebuilding the temple, but 311 00:16:40,080 --> 00:16:41,760 Speaker 2: he made the enemy pay for it. 312 00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:45,760 Speaker 1: There are dreams God has put in your heart. May 313 00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:49,040 Speaker 1: seem like it's too late, too big. You don't have 314 00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:49,960 Speaker 1: the resources. 315 00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:53,440 Speaker 2: God wouldn't have given you the dream, wouldn't have put 316 00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:56,080 Speaker 2: the promise in your heart if he didn't know. 317 00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:57,840 Speaker 1: How to bring it to pass. 318 00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:01,680 Speaker 2: Like with Zerubebel, It's not only going to still happen, 319 00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:08,840 Speaker 2: but there's going to be supernatural provision, supernatural healing, supernatural flavor, uncommon, 320 00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:10,479 Speaker 2: unusual things. 321 00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:13,800 Speaker 1: You can't explain it. People helping you that don't even 322 00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:14,360 Speaker 1: like you. 323 00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:18,159 Speaker 2: God purpose for them to push you into your destiny. 324 00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:22,160 Speaker 1: Now you have a part in this. You can't sit 325 00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:24,760 Speaker 1: back thinking, oh not me, Joel, I'll never get well. 326 00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:28,200 Speaker 2: This child will never get back on course. It's been 327 00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:32,040 Speaker 2: so long the odds are against me. Just like God 328 00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:37,119 Speaker 2: sent Zachariah after sixteen years of silence, to prophesy that 329 00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:40,240 Speaker 2: they were going to rebuild the temple, God sent me 330 00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:41,160 Speaker 2: to tell. 331 00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:43,640 Speaker 1: You it's still going to happen. Now. 332 00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:47,359 Speaker 2: You may be in a silent season as well. You 333 00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:51,560 Speaker 2: don't see anything improving, No good breaks, no open doors, 334 00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:55,639 Speaker 2: your health, family, finance, it's just the same. You're about 335 00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:58,800 Speaker 2: to see a shift. God is doing a new thing. 336 00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:03,360 Speaker 2: The silence was all a part of his plan. The delays, 337 00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:07,760 Speaker 2: closed doors, people that walked away were necessary. 338 00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:09,840 Speaker 1: It was setting you up for this moment. 339 00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:13,520 Speaker 2: The delay doesn't mean that God said no, it just 340 00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:17,159 Speaker 2: wasn't the right time. He's saying, you're still going to 341 00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:20,240 Speaker 2: accomplish that dream. You're still going to get out of debt. 342 00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:24,200 Speaker 2: You're still going to see your family restored. Now your 343 00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:28,320 Speaker 2: part is to rise up, get your passion back, get 344 00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:32,600 Speaker 2: your fire back, start believing again what you let go of. 345 00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:36,399 Speaker 1: Revisit didn't work out the first time. This is a 346 00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:38,600 Speaker 1: new day. Things have shifted. 347 00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:42,080 Speaker 2: God's about to show you why it hasn't worked out yet. 348 00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:43,920 Speaker 1: He's gonna make the enemy pain. 349 00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:48,760 Speaker 2: There's going to be opportunity, resources favor that you've never seen. 350 00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:51,240 Speaker 1: You're gonna know it was a hand of God. 351 00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:55,240 Speaker 2: I talked to a lady that had been healthy her 352 00:18:55,280 --> 00:19:00,320 Speaker 2: whole life, very strong, energetic, vibrant. She noticed she wasn't 353 00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:04,159 Speaker 2: feeling well. She had some digestive issues. She went to 354 00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:07,960 Speaker 2: get checked out, and after many tests, she was diagnosed 355 00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:09,480 Speaker 2: with pancreatic cancer. 356 00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:11,120 Speaker 1: Didn't look good at all. 357 00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:14,480 Speaker 2: The doctors told her that the demise would happen quickly, 358 00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:17,640 Speaker 2: that while she was able, she needed to get everything 359 00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:21,400 Speaker 2: in order, make out her will, visit with family members. 360 00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:24,800 Speaker 2: They gave her less than a year to live. Of course, 361 00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:29,480 Speaker 2: she was devastated. She never saw this coming. Sometimes we 362 00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:34,639 Speaker 2: face these unexpected challenges. That's when the enemy works overtime 363 00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:35,439 Speaker 2: in our mind. 364 00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:36,880 Speaker 1: This is the end. 365 00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:40,439 Speaker 2: Man too bad, you'll never get well, never see your 366 00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:41,360 Speaker 2: children graduate. 367 00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:44,680 Speaker 1: Just accept it. When we start dwelling on. 368 00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:48,399 Speaker 2: The negative, we're giving it life. We draw in what 369 00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:51,800 Speaker 2: we're constantly thinking about. You have to guard your mind, 370 00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:55,560 Speaker 2: fill it with what God promised you. In the first 371 00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:58,879 Speaker 2: several weeks, she was so upset and so overwhelmed. She 372 00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:01,520 Speaker 2: couldn't sleep at night, could hardly function. 373 00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:05,720 Speaker 1: She flipped on our serious XM radio channel she. 374 00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:08,679 Speaker 2: Heard me talking about how God has the final saying, 375 00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:11,440 Speaker 2: how he can do what medicine cannot do. 376 00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:14,520 Speaker 1: How when we put our trust in him, he can 377 00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:16,119 Speaker 1: make ways where we don't see away. 378 00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:20,520 Speaker 2: Instead of dwelling on all the negative, playing the medical 379 00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:24,480 Speaker 2: report over and over, she started playing another report. 380 00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:27,720 Speaker 1: What God said about her. I will live and not die. 381 00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:32,040 Speaker 2: God is restoring health back into me despite this diagnosis. 382 00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:35,560 Speaker 2: I'm still going to get well. Six weeks later, she 383 00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:38,440 Speaker 2: went in for surgery. They thought they could do this 384 00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:42,040 Speaker 2: procedure and prolong her life. A little bit afterwards, the 385 00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:45,400 Speaker 2: surgeon came out with a very puzzled look. He said, 386 00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:48,000 Speaker 2: I have all the X rays right here that show 387 00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:51,280 Speaker 2: all the cancer, but when we went in, we couldn't 388 00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:52,360 Speaker 2: find any cancer. 389 00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:56,960 Speaker 1: You are perfectly healthy. They had no explanation. 390 00:20:57,600 --> 00:21:00,240 Speaker 2: These were some of the leading experts, one of the 391 00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:02,399 Speaker 2: most renowned hospitals in the world. 392 00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:05,280 Speaker 1: That was God doing what only he can do. 393 00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:08,879 Speaker 2: And I realize it doesn't happen that way for everyone, 394 00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:11,240 Speaker 2: But how do you know you're not going to be 395 00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:13,199 Speaker 2: the one of the ones that it does happen for. 396 00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:16,119 Speaker 1: Why not be a believer and not a doubter. 397 00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:20,439 Speaker 2: God is saying despite the diagnosis. You're still going to 398 00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:24,359 Speaker 2: get well, despite the setbacks. You're still going to accomplish 399 00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:26,680 Speaker 2: your dream, despite the delays. 400 00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:28,600 Speaker 1: You're still going to meet the right person. 401 00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:32,200 Speaker 2: Despite what experts have told you. You're still going to 402 00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:35,640 Speaker 2: have that baby. Don't talk yourself out of it, talk 403 00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:38,760 Speaker 2: yourself into it. It's easy to think nothing goods in 404 00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:41,480 Speaker 2: my future. I've reached my limits. That's going to keep 405 00:21:41,520 --> 00:21:45,159 Speaker 2: you where you are. What God promised you is still 406 00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:46,000 Speaker 2: going to happen. 407 00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:46,640 Speaker 1: Now. 408 00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:50,480 Speaker 2: Your part is to rise up, believe it, and watch 409 00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:54,480 Speaker 2: what God will do. I think about Jacob in the scripture. 410 00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:57,040 Speaker 2: His youngest son, Joseph had. 411 00:21:56,920 --> 00:21:57,679 Speaker 1: A big dream. 412 00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:00,960 Speaker 2: He was going to do great things As a father. 413 00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:04,520 Speaker 2: Jacob was so proud of Joseph. When he looked at him, 414 00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:07,720 Speaker 2: he beamed with joy. He even gave him his coat 415 00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:11,640 Speaker 2: of many colors, which represented the favor on his life. 416 00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:14,680 Speaker 2: One day, he sent Joseph to check on his brothers 417 00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:18,480 Speaker 2: who were in another city. They were jealous and ended 418 00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:21,679 Speaker 2: up selling him as a slave. They killed an animal, 419 00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:24,800 Speaker 2: put blood on Joseph's coat, and came home showed their 420 00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:26,680 Speaker 2: father Dad, look what happened. 421 00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:29,400 Speaker 1: Joseph must have been killed by a wild animal. 422 00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:33,960 Speaker 2: Jacob was so heartbroken he tore his clothes. He put 423 00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:38,600 Speaker 2: on sycloth for weeks. He mourned month after month. His 424 00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:41,480 Speaker 2: family tried to comfort him, but it was no use. 425 00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:44,600 Speaker 2: He said, I will die in mourning for my son. 426 00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:45,800 Speaker 1: Well. 427 00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:48,679 Speaker 2: Thirteen years later, there was a great famine in the land. 428 00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:52,560 Speaker 2: Jacob sent those other brothers to Egypt looking for food. 429 00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:55,960 Speaker 2: Little did they know Joseph was in charge of the 430 00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:59,919 Speaker 2: food supply. They came back home and told their father 431 00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:04,760 Speaker 2: this amazing news that Joseph was still alive. Jacob couldn't 432 00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:09,240 Speaker 2: believe it. He was in awe, so overjoyed. Eventually he 433 00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:12,840 Speaker 2: and his whole family moved to Egypt to live with Joseph. 434 00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:16,000 Speaker 1: When Jacob was one hundred and forty. 435 00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:19,160 Speaker 2: Years old, he was about to pass he called Joseph 436 00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:24,000 Speaker 2: and his grandson's in to give them the blessing. Imagine 437 00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:27,240 Speaker 2: how Jacob must have felt. He never thought he would 438 00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:28,240 Speaker 2: see his son again. 439 00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:30,600 Speaker 1: Now he not only has. 440 00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:34,120 Speaker 2: Joseph, but his grandsons are standing in front of him. 441 00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:36,080 Speaker 1: If you would have told. 442 00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:39,240 Speaker 2: Jacob this was all going to happen thirteen years earlier, 443 00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:43,240 Speaker 2: when he was heartbroken in mourning, he would have said, 444 00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:47,280 Speaker 2: there's no way, that's impossible. My son is gone, how 445 00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:49,440 Speaker 2: could I ever see his grandchildren? 446 00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:51,840 Speaker 1: But look at how awesome our God is. 447 00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:56,320 Speaker 2: He's working in ways that we could never imagine. We 448 00:23:56,400 --> 00:24:00,560 Speaker 2: all have dreams that we've given up on Gold's promises. 449 00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:04,000 Speaker 1: I think there's no way. Been through too much, Joel, 450 00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:05,840 Speaker 1: that door is closed. 451 00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:10,480 Speaker 2: I've made mistakes. I've missed too many opportunities. No, God 452 00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:13,520 Speaker 2: is about to surprise you. He's going to do something 453 00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:17,160 Speaker 2: out of the ordinary, something that you didn't see coming, that. 454 00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:20,800 Speaker 1: Will boggle your mind. You quit believing for it. You 455 00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:22,880 Speaker 1: accepted that it's never going to work out. 456 00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:26,520 Speaker 2: But like with Jacob, you're going to stand in awe, 457 00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:29,680 Speaker 2: not believe in your eyes thinking I could have never 458 00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:30,280 Speaker 2: fad them. 459 00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:34,520 Speaker 1: This would happen. That's how amazing our God is. Now. 460 00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:37,080 Speaker 2: You may be in the middle of a setback, in 461 00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:39,960 Speaker 2: the middle of a silent season, in the middle of 462 00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:40,560 Speaker 2: the morning. 463 00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:42,160 Speaker 1: That is not the end. 464 00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:45,920 Speaker 2: God has a flourishing finish for you. He hasn't brought 465 00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:49,320 Speaker 2: you this far to leave you. Your greatest victories are 466 00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:52,520 Speaker 2: not behind you. They're still in front of you. Stay 467 00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:53,040 Speaker 2: in faith. 468 00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:54,320 Speaker 1: It's still going to happen. 469 00:24:55,280 --> 00:24:57,720 Speaker 2: It was a young woman raised by a single mother 470 00:24:57,800 --> 00:25:00,359 Speaker 2: and growing up, she began to wonder about her father, 471 00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:03,960 Speaker 2: who he was and why he wasn't in her life 472 00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:06,399 Speaker 2: and her mother had conceived her with this man that 473 00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:09,639 Speaker 2: she didn't really know, just a one night fleeing. This 474 00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:12,840 Speaker 2: mother was kind of embarrassed and didn't want to elaborate, 475 00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:17,000 Speaker 2: especially to her young daughter. As this child got older, 476 00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:19,960 Speaker 2: the mother tried several times to reach out to the father, 477 00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:24,000 Speaker 2: but he wasn't around, wouldn't return phone calls, didn't want 478 00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:27,159 Speaker 2: to have anything to do with this child. After she 479 00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:31,560 Speaker 2: graduated from college and started her own family, she still 480 00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:33,440 Speaker 2: had this longing deep down. 481 00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:34,080 Speaker 1: To know her father. 482 00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:37,920 Speaker 2: She had two beautiful children, thought about all the moments 483 00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:41,600 Speaker 2: that they could be sharing together. She searched the internet, 484 00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:43,840 Speaker 2: tried several other ways, but still nothing. 485 00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:46,720 Speaker 1: She finally accepted that it just wasn't meant to be. 486 00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:48,720 Speaker 1: But just because we. 487 00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:52,119 Speaker 2: Give up doesn't mean God gives up. One day, she 488 00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:54,399 Speaker 2: received a note in the mail out of the blue 489 00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:57,720 Speaker 2: said this is your father. If you would like to connect, 490 00:25:57,840 --> 00:25:59,040 Speaker 2: I'd love to talk to you. 491 00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:00,600 Speaker 1: She couldn't believe it. 492 00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:04,000 Speaker 2: After thirty nine years, she was able to meet her father. 493 00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:09,000 Speaker 2: There was no anger, no bitterness, just a joyful reunion, tears, 494 00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:12,800 Speaker 2: laughter and hugs. Was just in time for her father 495 00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:15,840 Speaker 2: to come to the baby dedication of her second child. 496 00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:19,399 Speaker 2: She had given up, but God said, I have a 497 00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:23,439 Speaker 2: surprise for you. I'm gonna bring you to a flourishing finish. 498 00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:27,040 Speaker 2: Are there things that you've given up on? You think 499 00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:30,480 Speaker 2: it's too late, too far gone, never gonna work out. 500 00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:34,400 Speaker 2: God is saying it's still going to happen. The dreams 501 00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:37,439 Speaker 2: He's placed in your heart, the desires he's put in you, 502 00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:41,320 Speaker 2: they're already on the schedule. Now do like Zaruba, bel 503 00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:45,720 Speaker 2: and rise up, get your passion back, start believing again, 504 00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:50,560 Speaker 2: start pursuing again. If you'll do this, I believe and declare, 505 00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:53,800 Speaker 2: you're about to come out of a silent season. 506 00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:54,679 Speaker 1: Into a surprise. 507 00:26:55,359 --> 00:26:58,639 Speaker 2: Things are about to shift. New doors are about to open, 508 00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:04,040 Speaker 2: the right people going to show up.
