When he opened a 38 00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:38,600 Speaker 3: door that shouldn't have opened, had us in the right 39 00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:41,319 Speaker 3: place at the right time, and we got the job, 40 00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:44,240 Speaker 3: We met that person and fell in love.

But God 43 00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:53,440 Speaker 3: is saying you haven't seen anything yet. Forget about all 44 00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:56,560 Speaker 3: of that and get ready for something awesome, something that 45 00:01:56,600 --> 00:02:00,760 Speaker 3: you haven't seen, something that propels you to a new level.

But thanks again for tuning in and 58 00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:41,239 Speaker 3: thank you for coming out today. I'd like to start 59 00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:44,080 Speaker 3: with something funny and I heard about this airplane that 60 00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:47,520 Speaker 3: was about to crash. There were four passengers but only 61 00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:52,040 Speaker 3: three parachutes. The first passenger said, I'm a leading heart surgeon. 62 00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:55,520 Speaker 3: My patients need me. He took the first parachute and jumped. 63 00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:59,560 Speaker 3: The second passenger said, I'm a rocket scientist, one of 64 00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:02,920 Speaker 3: the smart artest man alive. My country needs me. He 65 00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:06,840 Speaker 3: took the second parachute and jumped. The third passenger, Pope 66 00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:10,160 Speaker 3: John Paul said to the fourth passenger, a ten year 67 00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:13,320 Speaker 3: old boy scout, son, I'm old and freil, I don't 68 00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:16,239 Speaker 3: have much time left. You can have the last parachute. 69 00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:19,359 Speaker 3: The boy scout said, Sir, don't worry, there are still 70 00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:22,880 Speaker 3: two parachutes left. You see the smartest man alive. He 71 00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:27,600 Speaker 3: just jumped out with my backpack, saying, like you mean it. 72 00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:31,000 Speaker 3: This is my Bible. I am what it says I am. 73 00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:33,880 Speaker 3: I have what it says I have. I can do 74 00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:36,480 Speaker 3: what it says I can do. Today I will be 75 00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:40,400 Speaker 3: taught the word of God. I boldly confess. My mind 76 00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:43,760 Speaker 3: is alert, my heart is receptive. I will never be 77 00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:48,680 Speaker 3: the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you. I want 78 00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:51,680 Speaker 3: to talk to you today about something new is coming. 79 00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:55,240 Speaker 3: It's easy to get stuck in life when we've gone 80 00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:58,920 Speaker 3: through disappointments, had a set back, tried in our dream 81 00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:02,080 Speaker 3: didn't work out. We can settle where we are and 82 00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:04,720 Speaker 3: think this is as good as it gets. But God 83 00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:08,520 Speaker 3: said in Isaiah, I am doing a new thing. Even 84 00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:12,760 Speaker 3: now it springs forth. Can you not perceive it? God 85 00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:15,600 Speaker 3: is about to do something new in your life. He 86 00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:18,440 Speaker 3: didn't create you to get stuck at one level and 87 00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:23,039 Speaker 3: stay there. He has new opportunities, new relationships, new favor 88 00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:27,080 Speaker 3: It may look like you'll always struggle in your finances. 89 00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:32,280 Speaker 3: They'll get ready. Something new is coming, promotion, opportunity, doors 90 00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:35,960 Speaker 3: opening that you never dream would open. The medical report 91 00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:38,640 Speaker 3: says you have to live with that sickness. It's been 92 00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:41,960 Speaker 3: a long time. God is saying, I'm doing a new thing. 93 00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:48,600 Speaker 3: I'm restoring health. I'm breathing energy, vitality, freshness into your body. 94 00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:52,320 Speaker 3: That child has been off course for years. You've accepted 95 00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:56,039 Speaker 3: that he'll never change. That would be true, But God 96 00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:59,719 Speaker 3: is doing a new thing. Forces of darkness are being broken. 97 00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:03,720 Speaker 3: Purpose and destiny are rising up. You're about to see 98 00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:07,640 Speaker 3: a turnaround. Or maybe that addiction has hindered you your 99 00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:11,640 Speaker 3: whole life. You tried to stop, gone to counseling, nothing help. 100 00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:14,800 Speaker 3: This is a new day. Change that have held you 101 00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:18,880 Speaker 3: back are being loosed. What's kept you in captivity is 102 00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:21,840 Speaker 3: coming to an end. Now you have to do your 103 00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:25,839 Speaker 3: part and receive the prophecy. You can't go around thinking 104 00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:29,120 Speaker 3: you're stock. The problem's too big. It's been this way 105 00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:32,359 Speaker 3: too long. Turn it around, Lord, I believe what you 106 00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:36,960 Speaker 3: promised thank you that you're doing something new in my life. 107 00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:41,920 Speaker 3: When Isaiah prophesied this, the Israelites were in captivity in Babylon. 108 00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:45,160 Speaker 3: They had been there a long time, year after year, 109 00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:49,840 Speaker 3: nothing changing. I'm sure they thought, we'll always struggle, we'll 110 00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:54,160 Speaker 3: always be oppressed. Then Isaiah showed up and said, get ready, 111 00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:57,880 Speaker 3: God is doing a new thing. They could have thought, yeah, right, 112 00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:01,320 Speaker 3: have you seen these enemies. Look how powerful they are. 113 00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:05,240 Speaker 3: All the circumstances say, we're stuck. Will never live an 114 00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:09,080 Speaker 3: abundant life, never own our own homes, our children will 115 00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:12,719 Speaker 3: never be free. Don't talk yourself out of the new 116 00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:16,080 Speaker 3: thing God wants to do. The odds may be against you, 117 00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:20,200 Speaker 3: but the most high God is for you. The Israelites 118 00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:23,920 Speaker 3: had been through many struggles, had unfair things happen. They 119 00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:27,839 Speaker 3: had made mistakes, brought the trouble on themselves. They could 120 00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:32,000 Speaker 3: have been sitting in self pity, discouraged. But Isaiah said, 121 00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:36,920 Speaker 3: forget the former things. Do not dwell on the past. Behold, 122 00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:40,800 Speaker 3: God is doing a new thing. The principle is if 123 00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:43,960 Speaker 3: you're dwelling on the past, you won't see the new thing. 124 00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:48,000 Speaker 3: If you're focused on who hurts you, what wasn't fair. 125 00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:51,880 Speaker 3: Why did this friend walk away? Then you'll miss your destiny. 126 00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:56,640 Speaker 3: God is saying, forget the former things. Quit dwelling on 127 00:06:56,680 --> 00:07:00,680 Speaker 3: your mistakes. This is a new day. Living in regrets 128 00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:04,960 Speaker 3: will keep you from new opportunities. Reliving your mistakes will 129 00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:08,200 Speaker 3: stop the new favor. As long as you're looking back 130 00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:11,440 Speaker 3: at the old, you won't see the new. When you 131 00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:14,880 Speaker 3: drive home today, there's a big windshield in front of 132 00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:18,760 Speaker 3: you and a very small rear view mirror. The reason 133 00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:22,320 Speaker 3: it's so small is because what's behind you is not 134 00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:25,640 Speaker 3: nearly as important as what's in front of you. Where 135 00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:29,960 Speaker 3: you're going is what matters, not where you've been. Is 136 00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:32,960 Speaker 3: there something you need to forget so you can see 137 00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:36,040 Speaker 3: the new thing? Something you need to quit dwelling on, 138 00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:39,320 Speaker 3: so you can step into the favor and abundance that 139 00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:43,000 Speaker 3: God has for you. When someone hurts you, they do 140 00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:45,920 Speaker 3: you wrong. If you keep thinking about it, then you're 141 00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:49,720 Speaker 3: letting them continue to hurt you. Don't give them your power. 142 00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:52,800 Speaker 3: You have to let it go. Give it to God. 143 00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:57,080 Speaker 3: He saw what they did, He saw your tears, your 144 00:07:57,120 --> 00:08:00,720 Speaker 3: heart ache. He has beauty for those ashes. But here's 145 00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:03,400 Speaker 3: the key. You have to let go of the ashes 146 00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:08,160 Speaker 3: before you can see the beauty. It's in exchange. God says, 147 00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:11,560 Speaker 3: you give me the ashes, you quit dwelling on the hurts, 148 00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:15,280 Speaker 3: you forgive them, You move forward with your life, and 149 00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:18,400 Speaker 3: I'll give you the beauty. I'll do something so great, 150 00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:22,200 Speaker 3: so rewarding, that you don't even think about what you lost. 151 00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:25,960 Speaker 3: The new thing God has for you, the new people, 152 00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:31,000 Speaker 3: the new opportunities, the promotion, healing, influence will be better 153 00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:35,800 Speaker 3: than you ever dreamed. The Israelites were in captivity. Not 154 00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:39,480 Speaker 3: only were the Babylonians holding them, but all around them 155 00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:43,360 Speaker 3: was the desert. Even if they escaped, they couldn't survive. 156 00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:47,560 Speaker 3: But Isaiah explained what the new thing was. He said, 157 00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:51,240 Speaker 3: God will make rivers in the desert. What looks like 158 00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:56,160 Speaker 3: barren ground will be turned into fertile land. God was saying, 159 00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:59,240 Speaker 3: this new thing that I'm about to do, it's not 160 00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:03,160 Speaker 3: going to be now. It's going to be supernatural. That's 161 00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:05,600 Speaker 3: why you can't figure it out. It's not going to 162 00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:08,719 Speaker 3: be logical. What God is about to do is going 163 00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:13,120 Speaker 3: to be unusual, uncommon, out of the ordinary. You're going 164 00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:16,920 Speaker 3: to see rivers where there should be dry places. The 165 00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:21,000 Speaker 3: scripture says, even in famine, the righteous will have more 166 00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:25,280 Speaker 3: than enough. Seems like in famine you would barely get by. 167 00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:29,600 Speaker 3: But God does things that defies the odds. Don't limit 168 00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:33,079 Speaker 3: this new thing to what you think can happen. If 169 00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:35,360 Speaker 3: I can just learn to live with this sickness, No, 170 00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:38,280 Speaker 3: God is going to free you from the sickness. If 171 00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:40,560 Speaker 3: I can just pay my bills, Joe, I'll be happy. 172 00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:43,960 Speaker 3: God's going to bring you into overflow. If my child 173 00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:46,560 Speaker 3: will just stay out of trouble, that child is going 174 00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:51,280 Speaker 3: to do great things. You may not see how that's okay. 175 00:09:51,440 --> 00:09:54,079 Speaker 3: It's not up to you. It's up to God. He's 176 00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:57,120 Speaker 3: the one that makes rivers in the desert. He's the 177 00:09:57,120 --> 00:10:01,160 Speaker 3: one that parts red seas, cures the lepers, multiplies the 178 00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:05,400 Speaker 3: food to feed thousands. A lady told me how her 179 00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:09,439 Speaker 3: relative had passed away and left her a small inheritance. 180 00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:12,920 Speaker 3: She decided to invest it in real estate. She bought 181 00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:15,640 Speaker 3: another house and was going to rent it out. The 182 00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:19,000 Speaker 3: first people that came along seemed like fine people. They 183 00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:22,240 Speaker 3: worked for a nonprofit that helped children. She thought this 184 00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:25,520 Speaker 3: couple would be perfect. She didn't do all the background 185 00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:28,600 Speaker 3: checks that she should have and turned out they were dishonest. 186 00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:32,200 Speaker 3: Three months into the lease, they stopped paying rent and 187 00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:34,800 Speaker 3: didn't tell her. She had it set up to go 188 00:10:34,840 --> 00:10:37,800 Speaker 3: to the bank and she thought everything was fine. They 189 00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:41,319 Speaker 3: kept her from getting the notices. Well. Several years went 190 00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:44,720 Speaker 3: by and eventually the house was foreclosed on. She lost 191 00:10:44,760 --> 00:10:48,559 Speaker 3: all of her money. She could have been bitter, upset, 192 00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:52,160 Speaker 3: tried to get revenge, but she said, I didn't make 193 00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:56,280 Speaker 3: a big deal about it. That takes maturity. It's easy 194 00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:59,480 Speaker 3: to make a big deal when we're hurt betrayed. Why 195 00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:02,240 Speaker 3: did this happen? And I'm gonna get even. You have 196 00:11:02,360 --> 00:11:06,000 Speaker 3: to forget the former things. Do not dwell on the past. 197 00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:10,640 Speaker 3: That means don't let the hurts, the bad breaks, the 198 00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:13,880 Speaker 3: times you were taking advantage of soured the rest of 199 00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:16,440 Speaker 3: your life, cause you to live with a chip on 200 00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:20,680 Speaker 3: your shoulder. God knows how to vindicate you. He knows 201 00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:24,360 Speaker 3: how to pay you back. Year after year, she kept 202 00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:27,360 Speaker 3: being her best. Nobody even knew she went through the 203 00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:31,760 Speaker 3: bad break. She didn't go around complaining discouraged. She had 204 00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:35,520 Speaker 3: a song of praise. God sees when you're in the desert, 205 00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:38,960 Speaker 3: He's watching you in the lonely nights. The times you 206 00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:42,600 Speaker 3: were betrayed, you felt like giving up, but you kept going. 207 00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:45,480 Speaker 3: You could have held a grudge, but you forgame. You 208 00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:49,320 Speaker 3: kept moving forward. Wasn't easy. You were hurting. The pain 209 00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:52,440 Speaker 3: was real, but you didn't let it stop you. Six 210 00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:55,280 Speaker 3: years later, this lady got a check in the mail 211 00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:59,040 Speaker 3: unexpectedly from the bank for one hundred and twenty five 212 00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:02,800 Speaker 3: thousand dollars. They said, we sold the property and this 213 00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:05,600 Speaker 3: money belongs to you. She didn't even pay that much 214 00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:09,160 Speaker 3: for it. She made a profit. God knows how to 215 00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:12,600 Speaker 3: make rivers in the desert. He knows how to pay 216 00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:16,120 Speaker 3: you back for the wrongs. This new thing he's going 217 00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:19,400 Speaker 3: to do is going to be supernatural. He's going to 218 00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:23,520 Speaker 3: turn barren ground into fertile ground. What looks like a 219 00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:26,560 Speaker 3: loss is going to turn into a game. Seems like 220 00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:29,520 Speaker 3: a setback, but really it's a setup for God to 221 00:12:29,559 --> 00:12:34,400 Speaker 3: show out in your life. See the desert represents barrenness, 222 00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:38,280 Speaker 3: no growth. You're doing the right thing, but your business 223 00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:42,640 Speaker 3: isn't increasing, your marriage not getting better, your health not improving. 224 00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:46,640 Speaker 3: You were passed over for another promotion. You in the desert, 225 00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:50,520 Speaker 3: in those dry places, you could be discouraged. Think it 226 00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:53,840 Speaker 3: will never change, or get ready. God is about to 227 00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:57,120 Speaker 3: make rivers in that desert. He's about to turn that 228 00:12:57,240 --> 00:13:01,600 Speaker 3: barren land into fertile ground. Like this, lady, you're going 229 00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:05,160 Speaker 3: to see increase that you can't explain, favor that you 230 00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:09,319 Speaker 3: didn't deserve, healing that doesn't make sense, freedom from things 231 00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:13,599 Speaker 3: that have held you back. When Isaiah prophesied this, the 232 00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:16,559 Speaker 3: people could have said, thanks Isaiah, but we've had too 233 00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:20,400 Speaker 3: many bad breaks. This opposition is too big. We'll never 234 00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:24,400 Speaker 3: get out. You can stop the prophecy from coming to pass. 235 00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:29,040 Speaker 3: The Psalmist said, they limited the Holy One of Israel. 236 00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:31,600 Speaker 3: You can limit what God wants to do in your 237 00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:37,040 Speaker 3: life by doubt, negativity, speaking defeat. My business is never 238 00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:40,000 Speaker 3: going to grow. I'll never meet the right person. I 239 00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:42,480 Speaker 3: hadn't had a date in years. Have you seen all 240 00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:46,120 Speaker 3: that I've been through. You are canceling out the prophecy. 241 00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:49,720 Speaker 3: You may have obstacles that look too big. You don't 242 00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:53,280 Speaker 3: see how you can accomplish that dream. Feels like you're stuck. 243 00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:58,280 Speaker 3: You're in captivity, restricted by your environment. God is saying 244 00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:00,959 Speaker 3: to you what he said to them. I am doing 245 00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:04,520 Speaker 3: a new thing. I am making rivers in those deserts. 246 00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:09,120 Speaker 3: I'm turning to baring places into fertile ground. Now get 247 00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:13,199 Speaker 3: in agreement with God. Yes, Lord, this is from me today, 248 00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:16,760 Speaker 3: I'll receive it into my spirit. I'm getting ready for 249 00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:20,240 Speaker 3: something new. Lord, amaze me with your goodness. Turn this 250 00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:25,080 Speaker 3: problem around. God, show out in my life. It's significant 251 00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:28,960 Speaker 3: that this promise is in the present tense. God didn't 252 00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:32,680 Speaker 3: say I'm about to do a new thing one day. 253 00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:35,640 Speaker 3: I'm gonna work in your life. Sometime in the future. 254 00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:39,280 Speaker 3: I'm gonna show you my goodness. God said, I am 255 00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:43,320 Speaker 3: doing a new thing. It's already started. What God has 256 00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:47,240 Speaker 3: for you is already set in motion. This new thing 257 00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:52,440 Speaker 3: is already in process. The scripture says, now it springs forth. 258 00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:56,320 Speaker 3: Spring fourth is used when a seed is planted in 259 00:14:56,400 --> 00:14:59,760 Speaker 3: the ground. You can't see anything happening, but the seed 260 00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:03,440 Speaker 3: has opened up. It's springing forth, even though it may 261 00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:09,640 Speaker 3: not come visible for some time. There are promotions, healings, breakthroughs, 262 00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:15,320 Speaker 3: divine connections that have already sprung forth. They're already en route. 263 00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:18,680 Speaker 3: Just because you don't see it doesn't mean it's not coming. 264 00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:22,320 Speaker 3: This is where your faith has to kick in. There 265 00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:27,080 Speaker 3: should be an expectancy not looking back. This pandemic is 266 00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:31,280 Speaker 3: so hard. My back's been hurting. This company did me wrong. 267 00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:35,360 Speaker 3: I'm in the desert, Joel. That's why I'm discouraged. As 268 00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:37,840 Speaker 3: long as you're looking back, you're going to miss the 269 00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:40,960 Speaker 3: new thing. You have to get prepared in your thinking 270 00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:44,640 Speaker 3: by faith. I can see the healing that's coming. I 271 00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:47,360 Speaker 3: can see promotion on its way. I can see my 272 00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:51,400 Speaker 3: child turning around. I can see myself free from this addiction. 273 00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:56,360 Speaker 3: Now it springs forth, not one day, not in the 274 00:15:56,360 --> 00:16:00,800 Speaker 3: sweet by and by. Today God is doing a new thing. Today. 275 00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:04,240 Speaker 3: God is making rivers in your desert. Today, God is 276 00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:08,280 Speaker 3: turning your dry places into abundant places. If you will 277 00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:10,640 Speaker 3: stay in faith, you're going to see the new thing. 278 00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:14,160 Speaker 3: Like God did for the Israelites, He's going to bring 279 00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:17,360 Speaker 3: you out of captivity. He's going to free you from 280 00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:21,280 Speaker 3: limitations and negative things that have been passed down in 281 00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:25,000 Speaker 3: your family line. In this new thing, God is going 282 00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:30,600 Speaker 3: to break generational curses. Addictions, poverty, depression will no longer 283 00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:34,720 Speaker 3: hold you back. There's about to be streams in that desert. 284 00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:38,480 Speaker 3: That barren land is about to be turned into fertile land, 285 00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:42,440 Speaker 3: an abundant land, dreams coming to pass. He's going to 286 00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:46,000 Speaker 3: catapult you to where no one in your family has gone. 287 00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:50,000 Speaker 3: I talk to a lady. She's a single parent living 288 00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:54,040 Speaker 3: in Compton, California. There's a lot of great people in Compton, 289 00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:57,160 Speaker 3: but of course it's known for being a rough environment 290 00:16:57,600 --> 00:17:02,560 Speaker 3: gains drugs. Her husband was in the federal penitentiary. She's 291 00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:06,280 Speaker 3: a school teacher for thirteen years. She raised her son 292 00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:11,080 Speaker 3: by herself. There were a lot of negative influences, opportunities 293 00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:14,040 Speaker 3: for him to get off course. But she's a praying mother. 294 00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:17,320 Speaker 3: Even though she was in a dry place, she knew 295 00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:21,280 Speaker 3: God could make streams in the desert. Seemed like they 296 00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:25,639 Speaker 3: were held captive by their environment, a victim of their circumstances. 297 00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:30,040 Speaker 3: Her son could have become a statistic another child struggling 298 00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:34,200 Speaker 3: off course on drugs. But she believed God was doing 299 00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:37,320 Speaker 3: a new thing, that he was working behind the scenes. 300 00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:41,240 Speaker 3: Every morning before they went to school, they would listen 301 00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:44,560 Speaker 3: to our messagism. Get the day started off in faith 302 00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:48,040 Speaker 3: and hope and victory. Her dream was for her son 303 00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:51,160 Speaker 3: to go to college. All the odds were against him. 304 00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:55,119 Speaker 3: She didn't have the funds, his father in prison. His 305 00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:59,240 Speaker 3: senior year, they applied to several different collegism were waiting 306 00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:02,360 Speaker 3: to hear back. One morning on their way to school, 307 00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:06,639 Speaker 3: they heard me talking about how God has unprecedented favor, 308 00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:09,760 Speaker 3: how he can make things happen that we can't make happen, 309 00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:12,960 Speaker 3: how he wants to do a new thing. She heard 310 00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:16,439 Speaker 3: that promise, and something came alive on the inside. She 311 00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:20,440 Speaker 3: knew that was for them. Later that day, he received 312 00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:24,600 Speaker 3: a handwritten letter in the mail. It said, congratulations, You've 313 00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:29,040 Speaker 3: been accepted in the Harvard's University. He was the first 314 00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:35,400 Speaker 3: African American student ever accepted from Compton. God knows how 315 00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:38,359 Speaker 3: to make rivers in the desert. He knows how to 316 00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:43,440 Speaker 3: bring you out of captivity, out of struggle, lack, addictions, depression, 317 00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:47,000 Speaker 3: can't get a good break. Get ready. Your time is coming. 318 00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:50,240 Speaker 3: God is doing a new thing. You may be in 319 00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:52,840 Speaker 3: a dry place, but you're not going to stay there. 320 00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:59,159 Speaker 3: Water is coming, Favor is coming, promotion, healing, freedom is coming. 321 00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:04,360 Speaker 3: That your hopes of start expecting God's favor, start believing 322 00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:07,719 Speaker 3: for the unusual. God wants to make you an example 323 00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:12,399 Speaker 3: of his goodness. He's already set in motion something better 324 00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:15,520 Speaker 3: than you can imagine. You can't see it yet, but 325 00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:19,600 Speaker 3: that doesn't mean it's not. In Ralph keep believing, keep 326 00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:22,560 Speaker 3: talking like it's on the way, keep doing the right thing. 327 00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:25,960 Speaker 3: Like with them, You're going to see God exceed your 328 00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:30,800 Speaker 3: expectations today. This young man is a senior at Harvarden. 329 00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:34,679 Speaker 3: Recently he was chosen as a Rhodes Scholar, one of 330 00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:38,080 Speaker 3: only thirty two from America. Not long ago, he was 331 00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:41,800 Speaker 3: accepted in the Yale Law School. If you could see 332 00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:44,919 Speaker 3: what God is doing behind the scenes in your life, 333 00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:48,960 Speaker 3: you would be amazed. He's already lined up the good breaks, 334 00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:53,520 Speaker 3: the right people, solutions to problems. The new thing is 335 00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:56,960 Speaker 3: not going to be ordinary. It's going to catapult you ahead. 336 00:19:57,800 --> 00:20:00,400 Speaker 3: You're not going to stay in any kind of ca activity. 337 00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:04,800 Speaker 3: Don't believe those lies that you're stuck. Look at my environment, 338 00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:07,560 Speaker 3: look at how I was raised. I don't have the 339 00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:12,080 Speaker 3: funds for my dreams. I'll always be restricted by these limitations. 340 00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:15,040 Speaker 3: That's what it looked like for this young man. That's 341 00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:17,959 Speaker 3: how it looked for the Israelites. But God showed up 342 00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:21,000 Speaker 3: and said, I'm doing a new thing. I'm gonna make 343 00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:24,800 Speaker 3: rivers in those deserts. God is saying that to you. 344 00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:29,200 Speaker 3: Where you are is not your destiny. You haven't reached 345 00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:32,800 Speaker 3: your limits. You haven't seen your best days. This new 346 00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:35,600 Speaker 3: thing is going to be something that you've never seen. 347 00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:40,840 Speaker 3: The scripture says, can you not perceive it? It implies 348 00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:43,840 Speaker 3: that God can be doing it, but there's no sign 349 00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:46,800 Speaker 3: of it. Joel, I don't see anything new happening in 350 00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:50,840 Speaker 3: my life. I'm still struggling, I'm still lonely, still sick, 351 00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:53,840 Speaker 3: I still have this problem at work. Yes, but what 352 00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:57,359 Speaker 3: you can't see is the new thing has already sprung forth. 353 00:20:57,760 --> 00:21:01,840 Speaker 3: It's already in motion. This mother could have thought nothing 354 00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:05,280 Speaker 3: was happening for many years. When her son was thirteen. 355 00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:09,800 Speaker 3: She didn't have the funds for college fourteen, no funds fifteen, 356 00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:12,960 Speaker 3: nothing better. She was in the desert, didn't see any 357 00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:16,880 Speaker 3: sign of rivers, no sign that things were going to change. 358 00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:19,960 Speaker 3: But just because you don't see anything, does it mean 359 00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:23,120 Speaker 3: it's not on the way At the right time, it's 360 00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:27,080 Speaker 3: going to show up. You could see your new thing tomorrow. 361 00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:30,720 Speaker 3: You could see your breakthrough this week. You could get 362 00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:34,880 Speaker 3: that scholarship this month. You could see your healing, your promotion, 363 00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:39,080 Speaker 3: your abundance this year. When God says he's going to 364 00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:42,080 Speaker 3: do a new thing, that means it's not going to 365 00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:45,160 Speaker 3: be like the old thing. It's going to be different. 366 00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:49,280 Speaker 3: The new thing may not be what you were expecting. 367 00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:52,640 Speaker 3: It may not happen the way you thought it would. 368 00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:56,880 Speaker 3: The Israelites could have thought God just defeat these Babylonians 369 00:21:56,960 --> 00:21:59,840 Speaker 3: and will live here. They didn't think that God would 370 00:21:59,840 --> 00:22:03,240 Speaker 3: take them into the desert. How could they survive out there. 371 00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:06,479 Speaker 3: God was going to do it a different way. He 372 00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:10,199 Speaker 3: was going to make streams in the desert. Stay open 373 00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:13,040 Speaker 3: for how God is going to do it. Don't put 374 00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:16,159 Speaker 3: him in a box and limit him to one way. 375 00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:18,920 Speaker 3: Most of the time, the way we want it done 376 00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:22,280 Speaker 3: is less than what God has in mind. What He 377 00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:26,480 Speaker 3: has planned will be much bigger, much better. Trust him 378 00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:29,360 Speaker 3: to do it his way. If we're set and how 379 00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:31,920 Speaker 3: we want it to happen, we can miss the new thing. 380 00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:36,159 Speaker 3: I was in another city driving a rental car. Recently, 381 00:22:36,720 --> 00:22:39,359 Speaker 3: Victoria ran into the store to shop for a minute. 382 00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:41,680 Speaker 3: I waited in the car and was going to make 383 00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:44,719 Speaker 3: some phone calls. She said it'd be about fifteen minutes. 384 00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:49,359 Speaker 3: After an hour, my phone battery died. I usually bring 385 00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:52,040 Speaker 3: my phone charger to plug into the car, but I 386 00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:55,280 Speaker 3: forgot it. I looked in the glove compartment for one 387 00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:58,960 Speaker 3: looked in Victoria's bag. Maybe she had one, but nothing. 388 00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:02,080 Speaker 3: I sat there and waited and waited, thinking about all 389 00:23:02,119 --> 00:23:04,720 Speaker 3: the work I could be doing. At one point I 390 00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:07,840 Speaker 3: looked down by the gearshift and I saw this rubber 391 00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:11,560 Speaker 3: pad about the size of a phone. I thought that's interesting, 392 00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:14,520 Speaker 3: and I sat my phone there. I heard my phone 393 00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:19,040 Speaker 3: buzz it started charging. I had a charger the whole time, 394 00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:22,120 Speaker 3: but it wasn't what I was used to. I thought 395 00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:24,080 Speaker 3: there would be a cord and I would have to 396 00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:27,320 Speaker 3: plug it in. Can I tell you some of the 397 00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:29,560 Speaker 3: new things God is going to do in your life 398 00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:33,240 Speaker 3: is not going to be what you're expecting. He's going 399 00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:38,800 Speaker 3: to do it a different way, with different people, different circumstances. 400 00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:41,800 Speaker 3: Could it be that God is doing a new thing 401 00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:45,520 Speaker 3: now and you don't perceive it. He's opening a door, 402 00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:47,560 Speaker 3: but you don't want to go through it. It's not 403 00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:50,479 Speaker 3: what you thought it would look like. He's bringing people 404 00:23:50,560 --> 00:23:54,239 Speaker 3: across your path that are divine connections, but they're not 405 00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:57,720 Speaker 3: what you were expecting. Don't get set in your way. 406 00:23:58,040 --> 00:24:01,080 Speaker 3: The new thing may not look like what you had 407 00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:05,000 Speaker 3: in mind. A few years after I started ministering, the 408 00:24:05,119 --> 00:24:08,480 Speaker 3: church began to grow. I thought we would build a 409 00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:11,440 Speaker 3: new auditorium. That's the way I had seen my father 410 00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:15,000 Speaker 3: do it growing up. He had built Sanctuary. After Sanctuary, 411 00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:18,480 Speaker 3: we found some property right off the freeway by the 412 00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:22,240 Speaker 3: other location. It seemed perfect to me, but when we 413 00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:24,600 Speaker 3: went to close on it, the owner sold it out 414 00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:28,520 Speaker 3: from under us. He didn't keep his word. I was disappointed. 415 00:24:28,680 --> 00:24:31,560 Speaker 3: I knew that property was supposed to be ours. We 416 00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:35,000 Speaker 3: found another one hundred acre track not far away. The 417 00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:39,440 Speaker 3: same thing happened. I couldn't understand why these doors kept closing. 418 00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:42,560 Speaker 3: There were no more large tracts of land to build 419 00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:45,679 Speaker 3: on by the other location. My father always said that 420 00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:48,720 Speaker 3: he would never move the church. My mind wasn't open 421 00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:52,040 Speaker 3: for the new thing that God had in store. About 422 00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:56,520 Speaker 3: six months later, the Compact Center came available. I never 423 00:24:56,640 --> 00:24:59,640 Speaker 3: dreamed we could have this building. This was so much 424 00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:03,399 Speaker 3: big and better than I ever imagined. It was a 425 00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:06,159 Speaker 3: three year battle, but we saw the hand of God 426 00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:09,600 Speaker 3: make rivers in the desert, move giants out of the way, 427 00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:13,480 Speaker 3: bring the right people to help us. We had a 428 00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:18,200 Speaker 3: consultant that was very influential, knew all the inner workings 429 00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:21,320 Speaker 3: of the city. He had never been to church, didn't 430 00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:24,280 Speaker 3: have anything to do with God or faith. He partied, 431 00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:27,960 Speaker 3: used bad language, curse people out, but he said, Joel, 432 00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:30,680 Speaker 3: I like you, and I'm gonna help you get this building. 433 00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:34,560 Speaker 3: God has already lined up the people you need for 434 00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:38,720 Speaker 3: the new thing. Stay open. It may not happen the 435 00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:42,640 Speaker 3: way you're expecting, but can I encourage you. God's way 436 00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:48,840 Speaker 3: will be better, bigger, more rewarding, more fulfilling. Don't limit 437 00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:51,720 Speaker 3: what you've seen in the past to what God is 438 00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:54,520 Speaker 3: going to do in your future. God never does his 439 00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:58,399 Speaker 3: greatest feats in your yesterdays. They're always in your tomorrows. 440 00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:02,560 Speaker 3: God said in eyes, I am the one that opened 441 00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:06,240 Speaker 3: away through the waters, making a dry path through the sea. 442 00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:10,479 Speaker 3: I called forth the mighty armies of Pharaoh and drowned 443 00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:13,679 Speaker 3: them in the waters. But forget about all of that. 444 00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:17,280 Speaker 3: It's nothing compared to what I'm about to do. For 445 00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:21,160 Speaker 3: I am doing a brand new thing. This brand new 446 00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:24,119 Speaker 3: thing God is about to do is not going to 447 00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:27,480 Speaker 3: be like anything you've seen in the past. We can 448 00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:30,400 Speaker 3: all look back and see where God has parted red 449 00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:33,119 Speaker 3: seas in our lives, where He opened a door that 450 00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:35,840 Speaker 3: shouldn't have opened had us in the right place at 451 00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:39,040 Speaker 3: the right time, and we got the job. We met 452 00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:41,680 Speaker 3: that person and fell in love. He turned our health 453 00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:44,600 Speaker 3: around when it didn't look good. We're grateful. We know 454 00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:47,480 Speaker 3: it was the hand of God. But God is saying, 455 00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:51,240 Speaker 3: you haven't seen anything yet. Forget about all of that 456 00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:55,200 Speaker 3: and get ready for something awesome, something that you haven't seen, 457 00:26:55,640 --> 00:26:59,080 Speaker 3: something that propels you to a new level. When you 458 00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:02,080 Speaker 3: see this new thing, you're going to stand in amazement 459 00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:05,639 Speaker 3: and say, Wow, look what the Lord has done. I 460 00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:08,639 Speaker 3: believe the reason God told them to forget about the 461 00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:11,760 Speaker 3: Red Sea being parted and forget about how he brought 462 00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:14,800 Speaker 3: them out of slavery is because they would have thought 463 00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:18,320 Speaker 3: he was going to do it the same way. After all, 464 00:27:18,359 --> 00:27:21,480 Speaker 3: that was a great miracle. But God was saying, I 465 00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:25,680 Speaker 3: have something better. Instead of parting the waters, I'm going 466 00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:28,720 Speaker 3: to create the waters. I'm going to make rivers in 467 00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:32,040 Speaker 3: the desert pools to refresh you. I'm going to turn 468 00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:36,200 Speaker 3: bearing land into fertile land. The new thing God has 469 00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:39,000 Speaker 3: for you is going to supersede what you've seen in 470 00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:42,320 Speaker 3: the past. The good news is it's already in motion. 471 00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:46,919 Speaker 3: The process has already begun. Even now, it's springing forth 472 00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:51,080 Speaker 3: underground behind the scenes. You can't see it, but the 473 00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:55,320 Speaker 3: river is forming, the water is coming, the bearing land 474 00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:59,199 Speaker 3: is being fertilized. Yes, the doors may have closed, don't worry, 475 00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:03,520 Speaker 3: you'll come. Is already built. The right people are already 476 00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:07,560 Speaker 3: in route. The Red Sea's partings were great, but that's 477 00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:12,240 Speaker 3: nothing compared to what's coming. Here's the question. Can you 478 00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:15,800 Speaker 3: perceive it? Do you believe that God's up to something new, 479 00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:19,400 Speaker 3: something amazing? Or are you looking back at what used 480 00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:23,159 Speaker 3: to be, what didn't work out. Change your focus. No 481 00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:26,400 Speaker 3: more looking in the rear view mirror. Start looking forward, 482 00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:30,680 Speaker 3: Start expecting his goodness. This is a new day. God 483 00:28:30,760 --> 00:28:33,960 Speaker 3: is doing a new thing in your life. If you'll 484 00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:38,800 Speaker 3: receive Isaiah's prophecy, I believe and declare, you're about to 485 00:28:38,840 --> 00:28:44,400 Speaker 3: see unusual favor, uncommon increase, rivers in your desert, waters 486 00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:48,720 Speaker 3: in the dry places like the Israelites, freedom from captivity, 487 00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:55,120 Speaker 3: from lack, addictions, sicknesses. You're going to rise higher, overcome obstacles, 488 00:28:55,360 --> 00:28:59,120 Speaker 3: and become all you were created to be. In Jesus's name, 489 00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:01,360 Speaker 3: And if you were see it, can you say him 490 00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:05,360 Speaker 3: in today? I'd like to give you an opportunity to 491 00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:08,560 Speaker 3: make Jesus the Lord of your life. Would you pray 492 00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:13,520 Speaker 3: with me? Just say, Lord, Jesus, I repent of my sins, 493 00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:18,720 Speaker 3: Come into my heart. I'll make you my Lord and savior. 494 00:29:20,200 --> 00:29:22,560 Speaker 3: If you prayed that simple prayer, we believe you got 495 00:29:22,600 --> 00:29:25,520 Speaker 3: born again.
