1
00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:03,600
Speaker 1: Hi, this is Jolan Victorium. Thanks so much for listening

Speaker 1: and I hope you'll stay connected with us during the

7
00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:24,880
Speaker 1: week through our daily podcast, our YouTube channel, social media.

8
00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:28,479
Speaker 1: We'll keep you encouraged and inspired. I'd like to start

9
00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:31,760
Speaker 1: with something funny and I heard about these brothers, ages

10
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:34,519
Speaker 1: four and six. They were spending the night at their

11
00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:37,479
Speaker 1: grandmother's house and she told them before they went to

12
00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:40,559
Speaker 1: bed to make sure they said their prayers. They went

13
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:43,839
Speaker 1: in the bedroom, got down on their knees. The youngest

14
00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:47,160
Speaker 1: brother started praying at the top of his loans. God,

15
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:49,879
Speaker 1: I pray for a new bicycle. I pray for a

16
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:53,520
Speaker 1: new PlayStation. I pray for a new Puppy's brother stopped him.

17
00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:56,800
Speaker 1: He said, why are you screaming? God isn't deaf? He said,

18
00:00:56,800 --> 00:01:01,160
Speaker 1: I know that, but grandmother is say he like you

19
00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:04,640
Speaker 1: mean it. This is my Bible. I am what it says,

20
00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:07,440
Speaker 1: I am, I have what it says. I have. I

21
00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:10,240
Speaker 1: can do what it says I can do. Today I

22
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:13,480
Speaker 1: will be taught the word of God. I boldly confess.

23
00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:17,440
Speaker 1: My mind is alert, my heart is recepted. I will

24
00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:21,360
Speaker 1: never be the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you.

25
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:25,759
Speaker 1: I want to talk to you today about receive when

26
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:29,240
Speaker 1: you believe. We all have things that we're believing for.

27
00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:32,360
Speaker 1: One day we're going to get well. One day, we're

28
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:34,600
Speaker 1: going to break the addiction. One day we're going to

29
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:38,640
Speaker 1: meet the right person we prayed. We're standing in faith

30
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:42,160
Speaker 1: waiting for it to happen. But Jesus gives us an

31
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:46,480
Speaker 1: important principle in March chapter eleven. He said, whatever you

32
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:51,040
Speaker 1: ask for when you pray, believe that you have received it,

33
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:54,320
Speaker 1: and you will have it. He didn't say, believe that

34
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:57,320
Speaker 1: it's going to happen. Believe that you're going to see

35
00:01:57,360 --> 00:02:01,559
Speaker 1: things turn around. He said, believe that you receive when

36
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:05,480
Speaker 1: you pray. Believe that it happened right there, not in

37
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:08,800
Speaker 1: a week, not in a month, but right when you prayed,

38
00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:12,600
Speaker 1: things changed in your favor. God set the miracle into motion.

39
00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:16,560
Speaker 1: If you're facing an illness, God, I'm asking you to

40
00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:22,320
Speaker 1: heal my body and Lord, I receive my healing right now, Joel,

41
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:24,800
Speaker 1: How can I believe that I'm healed when I don't

42
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:28,240
Speaker 1: feel any different? This is what faith is all about.

43
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:32,799
Speaker 1: When there's no evidence, When the medical report hasn't improved,

44
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:36,600
Speaker 1: no sign of things getting better. Yet your report is

45
00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 1: I am healed, I am healthy. When you not only pray,

46
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:44,360
Speaker 1: but you take it a step further and you receive

47
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:48,480
Speaker 1: your healing in the unseen realm, things begin to happen.

48
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:53,040
Speaker 1: But if the healing, the freedom, the promotion, the breakthroughs

49
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:57,000
Speaker 1: are always in your future, then you haven't received it

50
00:02:57,080 --> 00:03:00,200
Speaker 1: into your spirit. What God is going to bring to

51
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:03,560
Speaker 1: pass is not what you ask for, but what you

52
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:08,120
Speaker 1: believe you receive when you pray. Are you receiving when

53
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:12,400
Speaker 1: you're believing? Not just God, I'm asking you to free

54
00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:15,720
Speaker 1: me from this addiction, help me to break this bad habit.

55
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:20,359
Speaker 1: That's good, but that in itself is not enough. Follow

56
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 1: it up with Lord. I receive your freedom. Lord, thank

57
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:27,919
Speaker 1: you that I am free. Not I'm going to be free.

58
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 1: I'm hoping one day to break the addiction. I'm really

59
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:36,200
Speaker 1: struggling in this area. No, it's already happened. When you prayed,

60
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:40,600
Speaker 1: you not only believed, but you received it. Now change

61
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:44,680
Speaker 1: your report from I'm hoping to to it's already done.

62
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 1: It's just a matter of time before what happened in

63
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:51,560
Speaker 1: the unseen realm shows up in the natural realm. See,

64
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 1: you have to be healed in your spirit before you'll

65
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:57,680
Speaker 1: be healed in your body. You have to be prosperous

66
00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:00,400
Speaker 1: in your spirit before you'll be prospers for us in

67
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:03,280
Speaker 1: the natural. And if you believe that it's going to

68
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:07,640
Speaker 1: happen sometimes in the future, then there's no promise that

69
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 1: it's going to happen. You have to receive it when

70
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:15,119
Speaker 1: you believe, when you pray, even though nothing has changed,

71
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:18,960
Speaker 1: even though every circumstance looks just the same, your faith

72
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 1: says it happened. Things changed in my favor. This is

73
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:27,360
Speaker 1: what my mother did. She was diagnosed with terminal liver

74
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:31,159
Speaker 1: cancer in nineteen eighty one. There was no treatment the

75
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:34,360
Speaker 1: doctors could give her. My father brought her home from

76
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:38,240
Speaker 1: the hospital. They were devastated. They laid down on the

77
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:41,960
Speaker 1: bedroom floor. They prayed and asked God to heal her.

78
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:46,520
Speaker 1: My mother believed that day that she received her healing,

79
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:49,840
Speaker 1: not that she was going to be healed, but that

80
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:54,080
Speaker 1: it had already happened. She wrote it down December eleventh,

81
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:58,880
Speaker 1: nineteen eighty one, when we prayed, healing came into my body.

82
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:02,320
Speaker 1: Now she didn't look any different, she didn't feel any different,

83
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:05,760
Speaker 1: but she didn't go by what she saw. We have

84
00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:09,359
Speaker 1: to walk by faith and not by sight. From that

85
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:14,159
Speaker 1: time on, I never heard her praying, God, please heal me, God,

86
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:18,320
Speaker 1: Please let me live, God, please turn this around. If

87
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:22,480
Speaker 1: you received it when you prayed, then instead of begging God,

88
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:26,440
Speaker 1: you'll start thanking him. Lord, thank you that I am healed.

89
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:30,240
Speaker 1: Thank you that with long life you'll satisfy me. But

90
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:33,479
Speaker 1: if you're always asking God for the same thing over

91
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:37,320
Speaker 1: and over, the problem is you're not receiving what you're

92
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:41,560
Speaker 1: asking for. Try a different approach and believe that it happened.

93
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:46,039
Speaker 1: For months, my mother didn't look any better. She was frail,

94
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:49,400
Speaker 1: her skin was yellow. But I would hear her going

95
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:53,880
Speaker 1: through the house saying Father, thank you that on December eleventh,

96
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:57,479
Speaker 1: when we prayed, healing came into my body. Lord, I

97
00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:01,200
Speaker 1: believe that day the tide of the battle in my health.

98
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:04,559
Speaker 1: Her mind was made up. She was no longer trying

99
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:07,400
Speaker 1: to get healed. She was already healed. She was just

100
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:12,039
Speaker 1: waiting for the manifestation to show up. That's different than

101
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:16,159
Speaker 1: hoping something will happen. When you pray according to God's

102
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:20,040
Speaker 1: word and you receive what you're believing for, then there's

103
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:24,240
Speaker 1: a certainty it's already happened. You don't have to live

104
00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:28,279
Speaker 1: worried trying to convince God to do something. You can

105
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:32,240
Speaker 1: rest knowing that it's already done at the right time,

106
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:35,320
Speaker 1: God will bring it from the unseen to the seen.

107
00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:39,200
Speaker 1: This is a much better way to live. This takes

108
00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:43,080
Speaker 1: all the pressure off. If you're praying and then worrying,

109
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:47,320
Speaker 1: asking God again and again, stressed out, then you didn't

110
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:51,800
Speaker 1: really receive it. The scripture says, those who have believed

111
00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:56,279
Speaker 1: enter into rest. When you received it by faith, you

112
00:06:56,320 --> 00:07:00,960
Speaker 1: don't live uptight. It's in God's hands. Kept thanking God

113
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:04,880
Speaker 1: for her healing. Over time, what she received in her

114
00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:09,120
Speaker 1: spirit became a reality in the natural. She got better

115
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:12,880
Speaker 1: and better. Today, forty one years later, she's still healthy

116
00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:18,840
Speaker 1: and strong. I believe one key is she received her

117
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:23,320
Speaker 1: healing when she prayed. She believed she was healed when

118
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:27,280
Speaker 1: there was no sign of it. Jesus didn't say, believe

119
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:31,240
Speaker 1: you receive when you see it when your health turns around,

120
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:35,680
Speaker 1: when the breakthrough comes, he said, Believe you receive when

121
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:39,600
Speaker 1: you pray when nothing looks any different, when it seems

122
00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:43,239
Speaker 1: like the sickness is winning, when your finances aren't changing.

123
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:47,720
Speaker 1: If it happened instantly, it wouldn't take any faith. This

124
00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:51,520
Speaker 1: is where you show God what you're made of. God,

125
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:54,800
Speaker 1: I'm asking for your healing. Lord, give me this scholarship

126
00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:57,520
Speaker 1: so I can go to college. Lord, I'm asking you

127
00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:01,000
Speaker 1: to send the right person that I can marry. You

128
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:04,640
Speaker 1: put your request before God. That's what the scripture says.

129
00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:09,440
Speaker 1: You're asking faith. Now. Believe that it happened, not that

130
00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:13,880
Speaker 1: it's going to one day. Believe that God granted that request.

131
00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:17,760
Speaker 1: Believe that He set the answer on the way. When

132
00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:22,080
Speaker 1: is something important, when it's significant, like my mother did,

133
00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:26,000
Speaker 1: you should set a date mark that time that you prayed.

134
00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:30,400
Speaker 1: Let that be a reminder that's when it happened. When

135
00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:34,000
Speaker 1: doubt comes, discouraging thoughts try to talk you out of it,

136
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:36,880
Speaker 1: you can go back to that date. No, I know.

137
00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:40,120
Speaker 1: When I prayed on May twenty second, my healing came,

138
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:44,760
Speaker 1: my breakthrough, Cain, my child's turn around, Cain, my spouse

139
00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:48,800
Speaker 1: was set in motion, hitted my way. Now the test

140
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:53,640
Speaker 1: is when we don't see anything changing, thoughts whisper nothing happened.

141
00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:57,520
Speaker 1: You didn't get healed on December eleventh. You're just the

142
00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:01,959
Speaker 1: same you prayed. But you'll meet the right person. Your

143
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:04,600
Speaker 1: business is not going to make it. Something would have

144
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:09,080
Speaker 1: improved by now. Don't believe those lies. The enemy would

145
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:11,440
Speaker 1: love to talk you out of what God put in

146
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:15,480
Speaker 1: your spirit. You received it by faith. Now you have

147
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:19,360
Speaker 1: to walk by faith. Just because you don't see anything

148
00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:23,360
Speaker 1: happening doesn't mean that God is not working in the

149
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:28,600
Speaker 1: unseen realm. What you received in your spirit became a reality.

150
00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:31,200
Speaker 1: It's just a matter of time before you see it

151
00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:34,839
Speaker 1: show up. Jesus was leaving the city of Beth and

152
00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:38,240
Speaker 1: Ede saw a fig tree off in the distance. He

153
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:40,959
Speaker 1: was hungry, so he walked over to it, but he

154
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:44,000
Speaker 1: didn't have any figs on it. He said to the tree,

155
00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:48,720
Speaker 1: may no person ever eat your fruit again. But when

156
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:52,080
Speaker 1: he said it, nothing on the outside looked any different.

157
00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:55,320
Speaker 1: The tree was just as healthy and green as can be.

158
00:09:56,400 --> 00:10:01,040
Speaker 1: I can hear the disciples whispering, what happened work this time?

159
00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:04,600
Speaker 1: They had seen him speak to a blind man and

160
00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:07,800
Speaker 1: his eyes were healed. They heard him speak to a

161
00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:11,520
Speaker 1: storm and calm the waters. But when he spoke to

162
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:15,480
Speaker 1: this tree, nothing changed. There was no evidence that what

163
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:19,120
Speaker 1: he said had happened. They went on their way, puzzled,

164
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:22,679
Speaker 1: wondering what went wrong. The next morning, as they were

165
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:26,360
Speaker 1: passing by, the disciples saw the tree. It was all

166
00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:30,720
Speaker 1: withered up. Peter was so amazed. He said, look, Jesus,

167
00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:35,600
Speaker 1: the tree you cursed is dying. They didn't think anything happened.

168
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:39,920
Speaker 1: None of the outside circumstances looked any different. But when

169
00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:44,880
Speaker 1: Jesus spoke it in the unseen realm, things changed. Now.

170
00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:49,600
Speaker 1: Two verses later, Jesus told them this principle, when you pray,

171
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:52,920
Speaker 1: believe that you receive it, and you will have it.

172
00:10:53,960 --> 00:10:56,920
Speaker 1: He was showing us through the fig tree. You may

173
00:10:56,960 --> 00:11:01,040
Speaker 1: not see anything changing. All the evidence may look the same.

174
00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:06,000
Speaker 1: Your health is the same, your finances, your children, nothing's improved.

175
00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:10,360
Speaker 1: You could think, God, I receive my healing. I received

176
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:14,160
Speaker 1: what you promised, but I don't feel any different. I'm

177
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:17,240
Speaker 1: still struggling in my career. I'm still waiting for the

178
00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:21,559
Speaker 1: right person. Maybe I'm not healed, maybe I'm not prosperous.

179
00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:24,680
Speaker 1: Maybe I won't meet the right person. Now, don't be

180
00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:28,640
Speaker 1: fooled by the outside. God is working behind the scenes

181
00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:32,360
Speaker 1: in that realm that you can't see. Things have shifted

182
00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:36,960
Speaker 1: the moment you received what you believed for, things started

183
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:41,800
Speaker 1: lining up in your favor. Good breaks, the right people, healing,

184
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:46,760
Speaker 1: abundance started hitting your way. The scripture says, the roots

185
00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:52,040
Speaker 1: of the big tree begin to wither. Something underground, unseen,

186
00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:56,320
Speaker 1: begin to take place. Right now, there are things in

187
00:11:56,360 --> 00:12:00,920
Speaker 1: the unseen realm changing in your favors that have held

188
00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:04,600
Speaker 1: you back or being broken. Bad habits that have hindered

189
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:09,840
Speaker 1: your children are being loosed. Strongholds are coming down, New

190
00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:13,400
Speaker 1: doors are about to open. Dreams you've been believing for

191
00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:17,200
Speaker 1: are about to show up. Don't get discouraged by what's

192
00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:21,480
Speaker 1: not happening you can't see in this unseen realm. This

193
00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:24,959
Speaker 1: is where faith kicks in. I don't see any evidence.

194
00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:28,600
Speaker 1: Nothing looks like it's improving. But God, I know what

195
00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:31,719
Speaker 1: I received in my spirit is about to show up

196
00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:36,120
Speaker 1: in the natural. Jesus started this passage off by saying,

197
00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:41,320
Speaker 1: have faith in God. It's not faith in your circumstances,

198
00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:44,800
Speaker 1: not faith in what you can do, not faith in

199
00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:48,280
Speaker 1: your boss, your banker, your parents, your doctors, your pastors.

200
00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:52,559
Speaker 1: That's all good, but they don't control the universe. They

201
00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:56,360
Speaker 1: didn't speak worlds into existence. They didn't part red seas,

202
00:12:56,800 --> 00:13:00,200
Speaker 1: they didn't raise Lazarus from the dead. Our God is

203
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:04,760
Speaker 1: all powerful. Nothing can stand against him when he speaks.

204
00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:09,120
Speaker 1: Angels go to work. Forces of darkness are broken, good

205
00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:13,280
Speaker 1: breaks come chasing you down. What you've received in your

206
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:18,280
Speaker 1: spirit may look impossible. Odds are against you, but it's

207
00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:22,040
Speaker 1: nothing for our God. One touch of his favor will

208
00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:26,400
Speaker 1: catapult you ahead, free you from the addiction, heal you

209
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:29,400
Speaker 1: from that cancer, cause you to come out of lack

210
00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:34,679
Speaker 1: into abundance, out of struggle into overflow, out of loneliness

211
00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:38,640
Speaker 1: into great relationships. You may be looking at that fig

212
00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:42,760
Speaker 1: tree today, Juel, I receive my healing, but nothing happened.

213
00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:47,200
Speaker 1: I believe I'm blessed, I'm prosperous, I'm free, but there's

214
00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:51,080
Speaker 1: no sign of it. Stay in faith. Your time is coming.

215
00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:55,320
Speaker 1: God is faithful. He sees you doing the right thing.

216
00:13:56,040 --> 00:14:00,240
Speaker 1: He sees you believing when you're not seeing praising. You

217
00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:04,840
Speaker 1: could be complaining thanking him when it's not improving. It's

218
00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:08,000
Speaker 1: just a matter of time before you see the breakthrough,

219
00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:12,800
Speaker 1: the promotion, the healing, the victory. Don't get talked out

220
00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:16,640
Speaker 1: of it. Don't let what's not happening convince you that

221
00:14:16,679 --> 00:14:20,680
Speaker 1: God is not working. There's an unseen realm that our

222
00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:25,280
Speaker 1: physical eyes can't see. Yet everything starts in the unseen.

223
00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:28,800
Speaker 1: Through our faith, we can bring it into the scene.

224
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:35,840
Speaker 1: When I first started ministering, I was so nervous, so intimidated, insecure.

225
00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:38,800
Speaker 1: Every thought told me that I couldn't get up here

226
00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:42,480
Speaker 1: in front of people. I had never ministered. My father

227
00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:45,160
Speaker 1: passed in nineteen ninety nine, and I knew I was

228
00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:48,680
Speaker 1: supposed to step up and pastor the church. I prayed

229
00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:52,400
Speaker 1: and asked God to help me, ask for confidence, ask

230
00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:56,520
Speaker 1: for strength. But I didn't understand this principle that you

231
00:14:56,640 --> 00:15:01,440
Speaker 1: have to receive it when you ask waiting to feel confident,

232
00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:05,760
Speaker 1: feel anointed. The problem is it never came. I kept

233
00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:09,400
Speaker 1: asking God again and again. One day I realized what

234
00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:12,640
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, I have to receive it by faith.

235
00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:16,600
Speaker 1: Instead of saying, God, help me to be confident, help

236
00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:19,600
Speaker 1: me to be strong, I'm asking for your anointing. I

237
00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:24,440
Speaker 1: started believing I am anointed, I am confident, I am strong.

238
00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:29,080
Speaker 1: I am well able. When I was saying that none

239
00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:32,760
Speaker 1: of it was true, I felt just the opposite, Like

240
00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:36,240
Speaker 1: that pig tree. God, you said it, you promised it,

241
00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:39,800
Speaker 1: but I don't see any evidence. I just kept saying it,

242
00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:44,400
Speaker 1: kept believing it, kept declaring it. Before long it became

243
00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:49,960
Speaker 1: a reality. I pulled out of the unseen into the scene.

244
00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:52,840
Speaker 1: Once you ask God for something, you don't have to

245
00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:57,280
Speaker 1: keep asking. The key is to receive it, believe that

246
00:15:57,360 --> 00:16:01,520
Speaker 1: it happened, and instead of asking over and over, start

247
00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:05,720
Speaker 1: thanking him. I quit asking God for his anointing, and

248
00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:08,800
Speaker 1: I started saying, Father, thank you that I am anointed.

249
00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:12,400
Speaker 1: I don't ask God to bless me. Every day i've

250
00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:15,800
Speaker 1: received the blessing, I say Father, thank you that I

251
00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:19,120
Speaker 1: am blessed. Thank you that I am prosperous, thank you

252
00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:22,680
Speaker 1: that I am healthy. If you continue to ask for

253
00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:26,440
Speaker 1: the same thing over and over, I know you're sincere,

254
00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:30,400
Speaker 1: but that's not showing God that you trust him. If

255
00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:33,520
Speaker 1: our daughter Alexandra came up and asked me for something,

256
00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:36,920
Speaker 1: I said, yes, Alexandra, I'll do it. Then she came

257
00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:40,480
Speaker 1: back an hour later and asked me again, Yes, I

258
00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:42,800
Speaker 1: told you I would do it. She came back the

259
00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:45,920
Speaker 1: next day with the same request, and again and again.

260
00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:50,160
Speaker 1: As a father, that would make me feel bad. I

261
00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:52,960
Speaker 1: would think, don't you trust me, I said, I would

262
00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:56,320
Speaker 1: do it. You don't have to keep begging me. It's

263
00:16:56,360 --> 00:16:59,920
Speaker 1: the same way with our heavenly father. When you add

264
00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:04,439
Speaker 1: that's fine, but Jesus said, don't stop there. Believe that

265
00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:08,560
Speaker 1: you received what you asked for. Believe that your father

266
00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:12,560
Speaker 1: loves you so much, that he's so good, so kind,

267
00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:16,320
Speaker 1: that he granted your request. That he said yes to

268
00:17:16,320 --> 00:17:19,960
Speaker 1: what you're asking for. Yes to the healing, Yes to

269
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:23,280
Speaker 1: the favor, Yes to the wisdom, Yes to that breakthrough.

270
00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:28,240
Speaker 1: First John says, this is the confidence we have in God.

271
00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:33,200
Speaker 1: If we ask anything according to his will, he hears us,

272
00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:37,359
Speaker 1: and we know that he will give us whatever we ask.

273
00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:41,679
Speaker 1: If you're asking according to God's will, you can be

274
00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:46,119
Speaker 1: confident yes is the answer. You don't have to beg

275
00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:50,199
Speaker 1: you don't have to wonder, accept his yes by faith.

276
00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:55,399
Speaker 1: You can find his will in his word. First John says,

277
00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:58,800
Speaker 1: he wishes above all things that you prosper and be

278
00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:02,479
Speaker 1: in health. He said in Psalms, He's crowned you with

279
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:06,439
Speaker 1: favor that you will lend and not borrow that you're seed.

280
00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:09,760
Speaker 1: Your children are mighty in the land. He said that

281
00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:12,639
Speaker 1: you will leave your mark, that you are a mighty hero.

282
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:17,600
Speaker 1: His will is found in his word. It's full of promises.

283
00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:21,560
Speaker 1: When you pray, Father, I'm asking that my children will

284
00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:25,119
Speaker 1: be mighty in the land. Then receive it by faith.

285
00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:28,840
Speaker 1: Believe that it happened from now on. Lord, thank you

286
00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:32,640
Speaker 1: that my children are mighty in the land. Now, please, God,

287
00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:37,600
Speaker 1: won't you do something with them? Receive what you're believing for. Father,

288
00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:41,800
Speaker 1: you said whatever I touch will prosper and succeed. Lord.

289
00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:45,080
Speaker 1: I'm asking for your blessing on my business. Lord, let

290
00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:47,679
Speaker 1: my gifts come out to the full. Cause me to

291
00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:51,600
Speaker 1: shine brightly. Now, don't stop there and pray the same

292
00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:55,040
Speaker 1: thing every day. Take the next step. Father, I receive

293
00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:57,719
Speaker 1: what you promised. I want to thank you that I

294
00:18:57,760 --> 00:19:01,600
Speaker 1: am blessed, that I am prospering, that I'm a difference maker,

295
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:05,120
Speaker 1: that I will leave my family better than they were before.

296
00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:09,240
Speaker 1: The way you pull it out of the unseen into

297
00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:13,080
Speaker 1: the scene is by faith. It's by receiving what you're

298
00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:17,000
Speaker 1: asking for. Now here's another key. It doesn't do any

299
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:20,119
Speaker 1: good to pray for something and then go out and

300
00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:23,840
Speaker 1: talk about how it's probably not going to happen. Don't

301
00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:27,920
Speaker 1: cancel out your prayer with negative talk. We prayed for

302
00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:30,600
Speaker 1: my finances, Joel, but I don't know. Have you seen

303
00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:34,560
Speaker 1: the news? This economy is rough. You just nullified your prayer.

304
00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:39,760
Speaker 1: You can't pray for victory and talk defeat. When you

305
00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:43,199
Speaker 1: believe that you received what you asked for, that it

306
00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:47,399
Speaker 1: already happened, then it's a different mindset. It's not I

307
00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:51,160
Speaker 1: hope it's going to work out. There's a knowing. Your

308
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:55,520
Speaker 1: attitude is it's already done. Things have shifted in my favor.

309
00:19:56,560 --> 00:19:59,960
Speaker 1: This is the confidence we can have in our God.

310
00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:04,360
Speaker 1: He's called Elshadai, the God of more than enough. He's

311
00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:09,480
Speaker 1: called Jehovah Jirah, the Lord, our provider, Jehovah Rafa, the Lord,

312
00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:13,720
Speaker 1: our healer, the Great, I am the all sufficient One.

313
00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:17,480
Speaker 1: When we ask in faith, when we receive it into

314
00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:21,920
Speaker 1: our spirit, we can be confident that in the unseen realm,

315
00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:27,280
Speaker 1: something shifts. Favor is set in motion, Angels are dispatched,

316
00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:31,920
Speaker 1: forces of darkness are broken. It's not I wonder if

317
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:34,800
Speaker 1: it's going to happen, No, it's when is it going

318
00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:38,280
Speaker 1: to happen. I am confident in the God we serve

319
00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:43,080
Speaker 1: that he is faithful that what he's started he will finish.

320
00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:45,879
Speaker 1: Now it may look like the fig tree right now

321
00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:50,240
Speaker 1: nothing has improved, but you know a secret in the

322
00:20:50,320 --> 00:20:54,359
Speaker 1: unseen realm, things have changed. Just a matter of time

323
00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:59,480
Speaker 1: before you receive what you saw in your spirit. While back,

324
00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:03,040
Speaker 1: a lady down for prayer for a teenage daughter, and

325
00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:06,159
Speaker 1: she told how she was off course, running with the

326
00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:09,679
Speaker 1: wrong crowd and wasn't being respectful, and she was so concerned.

327
00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:12,560
Speaker 1: We prayed that this young lady would turn around and

328
00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:16,320
Speaker 1: start making good decisions. The next week she came down

329
00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:20,040
Speaker 1: with the same request. She went on longer, telling how

330
00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:23,000
Speaker 1: it wasn't any better, on and on, and my heart

331
00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:26,560
Speaker 1: went out to her. We prayed again. The next week

332
00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:29,760
Speaker 1: she was back. I told her what I'm telling you.

333
00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:33,320
Speaker 1: We don't have to keep praying and begging God for

334
00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:36,679
Speaker 1: the same thing. We either believe that he answered the

335
00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:39,879
Speaker 1: first time, that he set the miracle in motion, or

336
00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:43,240
Speaker 1: we don't. At this point, it's not up to God,

337
00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:47,359
Speaker 1: it's up to us. Jesus said, whatever you asked for,

338
00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:52,160
Speaker 1: believe that you receive it when you pray, not when

339
00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:55,719
Speaker 1: you see it manifest, not when it turns around. The

340
00:21:55,800 --> 00:22:00,159
Speaker 1: test is are you receiving what you're believing for. We

341
00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:02,520
Speaker 1: can pray all day long, but if we go out

342
00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:06,280
Speaker 1: and talk defeat, call our friends. I don't see how

343
00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:09,800
Speaker 1: it's going to happen. We're canceling out the prayer. The

344
00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:14,080
Speaker 1: problem is you didn't receive when you believe, because when

345
00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:18,000
Speaker 1: you receive it, you have a different mindset. You're confident

346
00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:22,360
Speaker 1: that it's already done. You're not walking by sight, you're

347
00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:26,240
Speaker 1: walking by faith. You're not moved by what you don't see.

348
00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:30,480
Speaker 1: You know, in the unseen realm, things are happening. When

349
00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:34,639
Speaker 1: doubt comes discouraging thoughts, whisper, hey, nothing happened. Look at

350
00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:37,879
Speaker 1: the fig tree. It's still the same. Instead of getting

351
00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:43,119
Speaker 1: discouraged speaking defeat, switch over into praise Father, Thank you

352
00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:45,919
Speaker 1: that I am healed. Thank you that my son is

353
00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:49,320
Speaker 1: mighty in the land. Thank you that my business is blessed,

354
00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:54,000
Speaker 1: not going to be not hoping so not maybe one

355
00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:56,359
Speaker 1: day in the future, the Lord, I want to thank

356
00:22:56,440 --> 00:23:00,720
Speaker 1: you that it's already done. The scripture says in James,

357
00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:04,919
Speaker 1: if you need wisdom, you can ask God and he

358
00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:08,920
Speaker 1: will gladly tell you. But when you ask, be sure

359
00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:13,119
Speaker 1: you really expect him to answer. For a doubtful mind

360
00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:16,719
Speaker 1: is as unsettled as a wave of the sea. People

361
00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:20,720
Speaker 1: like that should not expect to receive anything from God.

362
00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:25,160
Speaker 1: This is talking about wisdom, but the principle is true.

363
00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:29,520
Speaker 1: When you ask God, it says, be sure you really

364
00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:34,760
Speaker 1: expect him to answer. Sometimes we go to God hoping, wishing,

365
00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:38,600
Speaker 1: maybe I'll get lucky and something will happen. How about

366
00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:42,480
Speaker 1: going to God with confidence, knowing that when you ask

367
00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:46,359
Speaker 1: in faith, he will answer you. I love how it

368
00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:50,359
Speaker 1: says God will gladly give you wisdom. He's not up

369
00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:53,840
Speaker 1: in the heavens upset like you're bothering him. What do

370
00:23:53,920 --> 00:23:57,800
Speaker 1: you need again? I'm tired of dealing with you. God

371
00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:01,000
Speaker 1: loves for you to come to him. He's longing to

372
00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:03,480
Speaker 1: be good to you. But if you're going to see

373
00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:08,440
Speaker 1: things happen, there are some requirements. Come to him expecting

374
00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:12,119
Speaker 1: an answer, expecting him to be good to you. And

375
00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:16,280
Speaker 1: number two, when you ask, believe that you receive it

376
00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:21,040
Speaker 1: by faith, Believe that it happened. This says, when you're

377
00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:25,159
Speaker 1: double minded, you can't expect to receive anything from God.

378
00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:30,359
Speaker 1: One verse says, how long will you waver between two opinions?

379
00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:33,000
Speaker 1: You have to make up your mind. Are you going

380
00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:36,520
Speaker 1: to believe what God promised you? Or are you going

381
00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:40,280
Speaker 1: to let doubt negative voices convince you that it's not

382
00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:43,719
Speaker 1: going to happen. When you saw the medical report, you

383
00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:47,560
Speaker 1: can't get well. You'll never break that addiction, You'll never

384
00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:52,240
Speaker 1: be successful. Do yourself a favor. Tune that out. Don't

385
00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:56,440
Speaker 1: let doubt keep you from your destiny. Have an unwavering mind.

386
00:24:57,080 --> 00:25:01,240
Speaker 1: That means my mind is made up. I believe that

387
00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:04,440
Speaker 1: I received it when I prayed. Now my mind is set.

388
00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:07,960
Speaker 1: I'm not moved by what I don't see. I'm not

389
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:10,480
Speaker 1: gonna let people taught me out of it. I'm not

390
00:25:10,520 --> 00:25:13,840
Speaker 1: gonna let time convince me it's not gonna happen. I'm

391
00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:16,439
Speaker 1: not gonna let the fig tree cause me to waver.

392
00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:20,879
Speaker 1: I believe that it's already done. See doubt comes to

393
00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:24,840
Speaker 1: us all. You have to guard your mind. You control

394
00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:29,280
Speaker 1: the doorway to your thoughts. Those negative thoughts come. Have

395
00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:33,119
Speaker 1: a no vacancy sign. Sorry, no room for you. My

396
00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:36,560
Speaker 1: mind is filled with faith. I am healthy, I am blessed,

397
00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:41,920
Speaker 1: I am anointed, I am victorious. Don't give any energy

398
00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:46,119
Speaker 1: to the negative. When you dwell on those thoughts, you

399
00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:48,159
Speaker 1: start going down the road of all the things that

400
00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:50,800
Speaker 1: are not going to work out. You're giving it life,

401
00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:55,560
Speaker 1: You're allowing it to grow. Start starving your doubts and

402
00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:59,560
Speaker 1: feeding your faith. Like the scripture says, maybe you've been

403
00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:03,800
Speaker 1: wavering between two opinions, going back and forth. One day,

404
00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:06,240
Speaker 1: I believe it's going to happen. The next day it's

405
00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:09,800
Speaker 1: never going to work out. You've been unsettled. That's okay.

406
00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:13,439
Speaker 1: Today can be a new day. You can set your mind.

407
00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:17,320
Speaker 1: You can make that decision. When I pray, I'm not

408
00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:20,280
Speaker 1: just going to believe that it will happen. I'm going

409
00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:23,200
Speaker 1: to believe that it did happen. I'm going to receive

410
00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:27,000
Speaker 1: it when I believe. I know many of you have

411
00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:30,640
Speaker 1: been doing this, like my mother. You've been standing in

412
00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:34,480
Speaker 1: faith when nothing is improving, believing when you're not seeing,

413
00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:38,120
Speaker 1: thanking God when there's no sign of it. Thoughts tell

414
00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:41,560
Speaker 1: you that God's forgotten about you. It's never going to change. No,

415
00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:44,879
Speaker 1: you need to get ready. Your time is coming. I

416
00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:49,359
Speaker 1: believe and declare what's in the unseen realm is about

417
00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:57,480
Speaker 1: to become a reality in your life. Healing is coming, promotion, restoration, spouses, breakthroughs,

418
00:26:57,800 --> 00:27:02,199
Speaker 1: the fullness of your destiny in Jesus' name, and if

419
00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:06,439
Speaker 1: you receive it, can you say amen? Today? I'd like

420
00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:09,600
Speaker 1: to give you an opportunity to make Jesus the Lord

421
00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:13,920
Speaker 1: of your life. Would you pray with me? Just say, Lord, Jesus,

422
00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:20,040
Speaker 1: I repent of my sins, Come into my heart. I'll

423
00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:23,919
Speaker 1: make you my Lord and savior. If you prayed that

424
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:27,359
Speaker 1: simple prayer, we believe you got born again. We'd love

425
00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:29,720
Speaker 1: to send you some free information on your new walk

426
00:27:29,760 --> 00:27:32,119
Speaker 1: with the Lord. You can text the number, go to

427
00:27:32,160 --> 00:27:34,879
Speaker 1: the website now. I hope you'll get into a good

428
00:27:35,040 --> 00:27:38,119
Speaker 1: Bible based church and keep God the first place
