  • I want to talk to you today about activate the flow. we
  • 00:01:29.913 --> 00:01:32.749
  • About activate the flow. we all have times in life where
  • 00:01:32.815 --> 00:01:34.484
  • All have times in life where we're at a disadvantage. we
  • 00:01:34.551 --> 00:01:36.452
  • We're at a disadvantage. we don't see how we can
  • 00:01:36.519 --> 00:01:37.387
  • Don't see how we can accomplish our dream. the
  • 00:01:37.453 --> 00:01:39.122
  • Accomplish our dream. the medical report is not good,
  • 00:01:39.189 --> 00:01:40.757
  • Medical report is not good, a child is off course. we've
  • 00:01:40.823 --> 00:01:42.992
  • A child is off course. we've done all we can in our own
  • 00:01:43.059 --> 00:01:44.894
  • Done all we can in our own power, but nothing has
  • 00:01:44.961 --> 00:01:46.362
  • Power, but nothing has changed. doors haven't
  • 00:01:46.429 --> 00:01:48.131
  • Changed. doors haven't opened, we're still dealing
  • 00:01:48.198 --> 00:01:49.766
  • Opened, we're still dealing with the anxiety. it's
  • 00:01:49.832 --> 00:01:51.634
  • With the anxiety. it's tempting to get discouraged
  • 00:01:51.701 --> 00:01:53.203
  • Tempting to get discouraged and settle where we are. but
  • 00:01:53.269 --> 00:01:55.238
  • And settle where we are. but there is a supernatural flow
  • 00:01:55.305 --> 00:01:57.240
  • There is a supernatural flow that you can tap into. a flow
  • 00:01:57.307 --> 00:01:59.509
  • That you can tap into. a flow of healing that will turn the
  • 00:01:59.576 --> 00:02:01.044
  • Of healing that will turn the medical report around. a flow
  • 00:02:01.110 --> 00:02:03.246
  • Medical report around. a flow of favor that will open
  • 00:02:03.313 --> 00:02:04.647
  • Of favor that will open doors, bring the right
  • 00:02:04.714 --> 00:02:06.282
  • Doors, bring the right people. a flow of freedom
  • 00:02:06.349 --> 00:02:08.518
  • People. a flow of freedom that will break the
  • 00:02:08.585 --> 00:02:09.285
  • That will break the addiction. this flow is
  • 00:02:09.352 --> 00:02:11.854
  • Addiction. this flow is within reach, but here's the
  • 00:02:11.921 --> 00:02:13.556
  • Within reach, but here's the key, it has to be activated.
  • 00:02:13.623 --> 00:02:16.559
  • Key, it has to be activated. how do you activate it? by
  • 00:02:16.626 --> 00:02:18.161
  • How do you activate it? by expecting god's favor, by
  • 00:02:18.228 --> 00:02:20.230
  • Expecting god's favor, by declaring his promises, by
  • 00:02:20.296 --> 00:02:22.365
  • Declaring his promises, by believing he's working when
  • 00:02:22.432 --> 00:02:24.067
  • Believing he's working when you don't see any sign of it.
  • 00:02:24.133 --> 00:02:26.369
  • You don't see any sign of it. you have to press past the
  • 00:02:26.436 --> 00:02:27.737
  • You have to press past the doubt. press past the
  • 00:02:27.804 --> 00:02:29.672
  • Doubt. press past the thoughts telling you, “it's
  • 00:02:29.739 --> 00:02:30.974
  • Thoughts telling you, “it's never going to change, it's
  • 00:02:31.040 --> 00:02:32.642
  • Never going to change, it's been this way too long, this
  • 00:02:32.709 --> 00:02:34.410
  • Been this way too long, this problem is too big.” don't
  • 00:02:34.477 --> 00:02:36.212
  • Problem is too big.” don't believe those lies. god is on
  • 00:02:36.279 --> 00:02:38.081
  • Believe those lies. god is on the throne. he's fighting
  • 00:02:38.147 --> 00:02:39.749
  • The throne. he's fighting your battles. there's not a
  • 00:02:39.816 --> 00:02:41.317
  • Your battles. there's not a problem you're facing that he
  • 00:02:41.384 --> 00:02:43.152
  • Problem you're facing that he can't turn around. not a
  • 00:02:43.219 --> 00:02:44.988
  • Can't turn around. not a dream he can't bring to pass,
  • 00:02:45.054 --> 00:02:47.123
  • Dream he can't bring to pass, not an addiction he can't
  • 00:02:47.190 --> 00:02:48.658
  • Not an addiction he can't break. when you activate this
  • 00:02:48.725 --> 00:02:50.827
  • Break. when you activate this flow angels go to work,
  • 00:02:50.893 --> 00:02:53.162
  • Flow angels go to work, forces of darkness are
  • 00:02:53.229 --> 00:02:54.330
  • Forces of darkness are broken, favor is released.
  • 00:02:54.397 --> 00:02:57.133
  • Broken, favor is released. sometimes we're waiting on
  • 00:02:57.200 --> 00:02:58.768
  • Sometimes we're waiting on god, but god's waiting on us.
  • 00:02:58.835 --> 00:03:01.371
  • God, but god's waiting on us. he's saying, “come on,
  • 00:03:01.437 --> 00:03:02.538
  • He's saying, “come on, activate my power, activate
  • 00:03:02.605 --> 00:03:04.641
  • Activate my power, activate my favor, activate my
  • 00:03:04.707 --> 00:03:06.175
  • My favor, activate my healing.” god works where
  • 00:03:06.242 --> 00:03:08.478
  • Healing.” god works where there's faith. he sees our
  • 00:03:08.544 --> 00:03:10.480
  • There's faith. he sees our needs, but he's not moved by
  • 00:03:10.546 --> 00:03:12.482
  • Needs, but he's not moved by needs. otherwise, there would
  • 00:03:12.548 --> 00:03:14.550
  • Needs. otherwise, there would be no needs. he's moved by
  • 00:03:14.617 --> 00:03:16.319
  • Be no needs. he's moved by our faith. what activates the
  • 00:03:16.386 --> 00:03:18.755
  • Our faith. what activates the flow is when we believe that
  • 00:03:18.821 --> 00:03:21.124
  • Flow is when we believe that god can do what seems
  • 00:03:21.190 --> 00:03:22.592
  • God can do what seems impossible. when we go around
  • 00:03:22.659 --> 00:03:25.028
  • Impossible. when we go around not talking about how big the
  • 00:03:25.094 --> 00:03:26.362
  • Not talking about how big the problem is but about how big
  • 00:03:26.429 --> 00:03:28.398
  • Problem is but about how big our god is. when we declare,
  • 00:03:28.464 --> 00:03:31.200
  • Our god is. when we declare, “god is going before me,
  • 00:03:31.267 --> 00:03:32.602
  • “god is going before me, making crooked places
  • 00:03:32.669 --> 00:03:33.936
  • Making crooked places straight. he's opening doors
  • 00:03:34.003 --> 00:03:36.139
  • Straight. he's opening doors no person can shut, bringing
  • 00:03:36.205 --> 00:03:38.107
  • No person can shut, bringing the right people across my
  • 00:03:38.174 --> 00:03:39.442
  • The right people across my path.” that's not just being
  • 00:03:39.509 --> 00:03:41.244
  • Path.” that's not just being positive. you just activated
  • 00:03:41.311 --> 00:03:43.379
  • Positive. you just activated a flow of favor. you're going
  • 00:03:43.446 --> 00:03:45.315
  • A flow of favor. you're going to see god do unusual,
  • 00:03:45.381 --> 00:03:47.283
  • To see god do unusual, uncommon things, things that
  • 00:03:47.350 --> 00:03:49.085
  • Uncommon things, things that you can't explain.
  • 00:03:49.152 --> 00:03:51.120
  • You can't explain. maybe you're dealing with an
  • 00:03:51.187 --> 00:03:52.155
  • Maybe you're dealing with an illness. it's easy to accept
  • 00:03:52.221 --> 00:03:54.123
  • Illness. it's easy to accept it, think, “this is my lot in
  • 00:03:54.190 --> 00:03:55.725
  • It, think, “this is my lot in life.” the right attitude is,
  • 00:03:55.792 --> 00:03:58.027
  • Life.” the right attitude is, “this sickness didn't come to
  • 00:03:58.094 --> 00:03:59.362
  • “this sickness didn't come to stay, it came to pass. god is
  • 00:03:59.429 --> 00:04:01.931
  • Stay, it came to pass. god is restoring health back unto
  • 00:04:01.998 --> 00:04:03.166
  • Restoring health back unto me. i will live and not die.”
  • 00:04:03.232 --> 00:04:06.002
  • Me. i will live and not die.” you just activated a flow of
  • 00:04:06.069 --> 00:04:07.804
  • You just activated a flow of healing, where god can
  • 00:04:07.870 --> 00:04:09.472
  • Healing, where god can supernaturally turn things
  • 00:04:09.539 --> 00:04:11.107
  • Supernaturally turn things around. he's not limited to
  • 00:04:11.174 --> 00:04:13.776
  • Around. he's not limited to what medical science can do.
  • 00:04:13.843 --> 00:04:16.245
  • What medical science can do. he may use medicine, he may
  • 00:04:16.312 --> 00:04:18.081
  • He may use medicine, he may use doctors, but sometimes
  • 00:04:18.147 --> 00:04:20.416
  • Use doctors, but sometimes they run out of options.
  • 00:04:20.483 --> 00:04:22.318
  • They run out of options. there's nothing more in the
  • 00:04:22.385 --> 00:04:23.486
  • There's nothing more in the natural they can do. but our
  • 00:04:23.553 --> 00:04:25.655
  • Natural they can do. but our god is supernatural. he never
  • 00:04:25.722 --> 00:04:28.124
  • God is supernatural. he never runs out of options. when you
  • 00:04:28.191 --> 00:04:30.059
  • Runs out of options. when you believe you activate a flow
  • 00:04:30.126 --> 00:04:32.095
  • Believe you activate a flow of healing that can do what
  • 00:04:32.161 --> 00:04:33.796
  • Of healing that can do what medicine cannot do. maybe a
  • 00:04:33.863 --> 00:04:36.499
  • Medicine cannot do. maybe a child is off course. instead
  • 00:04:36.566 --> 00:04:38.368
  • Child is off course. instead of worrying, not able to
  • 00:04:38.434 --> 00:04:40.169
  • Of worrying, not able to sleep. “no, as for me and my
  • 00:04:40.236 --> 00:04:41.971
  • Sleep. “no, as for me and my house, we will serve the
  • 00:04:42.038 --> 00:04:43.172
  • House, we will serve the lord. my children are mighty
  • 00:04:43.239 --> 00:04:45.375
  • Lord. my children are mighty in the land. what god started
  • 00:04:45.441 --> 00:04:47.243
  • In the land. what god started he's going to finish.” you
  • 00:04:47.310 --> 00:04:49.178
  • He's going to finish.” you just activated a flow of
  • 00:04:49.245 --> 00:04:50.613
  • Just activated a flow of freedom, a flow of
  • 00:04:50.680 --> 00:04:51.914
  • Freedom, a flow of protection, a flow of
  • 00:04:51.981 --> 00:04:53.216
  • Protection, a flow of purpose. that's when you'll
  • 00:04:53.282 --> 00:04:54.817
  • Purpose. that's when you'll see god do things that only
  • 00:04:54.884 --> 00:04:56.652
  • See god do things that only he can do.
  • 00:04:56.719 --> 00:04:57.320
  • He can do. in mark 5, there was a woman
  • 00:04:57.387 --> 00:05:00.857
  • In mark 5, there was a woman that had a bleeding disorder
  • 00:05:00.923 --> 00:05:02.258
  • That had a bleeding disorder for twelve years. she had
  • 00:05:02.325 --> 00:05:04.160
  • For twelve years. she had gone to many different
  • 00:05:04.227 --> 00:05:05.228
  • Gone to many different doctors with no success. she
  • 00:05:05.294 --> 00:05:07.530
  • Doctors with no success. she didn't stop there. she found
  • 00:05:07.597 --> 00:05:09.132
  • Didn't stop there. she found the leading experts, had the
  • 00:05:09.198 --> 00:05:11.000
  • The leading experts, had the best of that day look at her,
  • 00:05:11.067 --> 00:05:13.002
  • Best of that day look at her, but they all had the same
  • 00:05:13.069 --> 00:05:14.036
  • But they all had the same report. “we're sorry, there's
  • 00:05:14.103 --> 00:05:16.072
  • Report. “we're sorry, there's nothing more we can do. this
  • 00:05:16.139 --> 00:05:17.774
  • Nothing more we can do. this illness is not treatable.”

  • 00:09:47.943 --> 00:09:50.246
  • Mother-in-law. but this case shows us, how you can
  • 00:09:50.312 --> 00:09:52.014

  • Is are you brushing up against him or are you
  • 00:10:45.868 --> 00:10:47.369

  • Unfair things that have happened.” that's what causes

  • 00:11:58.107 --> 00:12:00.309
  • God to stop in his tracks, and ask, “who touched me?” it
  • 00:12:00.376 --> 00:12:02.311
