- 00:01:28.878 --> 00:01:29.846
- 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.”
- 00:05:17.840 --> 00:05:20.042
- Illness is not treatable.” she had spent all of her
- 00:05:20.109 --> 00:05:21.210
- She had spent all of her funds trying to get well. you
- 00:05:21.277 --> 00:05:23.579
- Funds trying to get well. you can imagine how discouraged
- 00:05:23.646 --> 00:05:25.047
- Can imagine how discouraged she was. not only facing this
- 00:05:25.114 --> 00:05:27.316
- She was. not only facing this incurable disease, weak,
- 00:05:27.383 --> 00:05:29.685
- Incurable disease, weak, losing weight, but she didn't
- 00:05:29.752 --> 00:05:31.554

- 00:08:45.948 --> 00:08:47.483
- They drew the miracle working power out of me.” he was
- 00:08:47.550 --> 00:08:49.552

- Saying, “someone activated the flow. someone believed
- 00:08:52.154 --> 00:08:54.290

- 00:09:08.738 --> 00:09:09.939
- Power.” about that time, jesus looked
- 00:09:10.006 --> 00:09:11.874
- About that time, jesus looked at this woman. their eyes
- 00:09:11.941 --> 00:09:13.676
- At this woman. their eyes met. her heart was beating so
- 00:09:13.743 --> 00:09:15.911
- Met. her heart was beating so fast. she thought she was in
- 00:09:15.978 --> 00:09:17.813
- Fast. she thought she was in trouble. she interrupted
- 00:09:17.880 --> 00:09:19.482
- Trouble. she interrupted jesus. maybe he would be
- 00:09:19.548 --> 00:09:21.017
- Jesus. maybe he would be upset. maybe he would
- 00:09:21.083 --> 00:09:22.652
- Upset. maybe he would embarrass her. but jesus
- 00:09:22.718 --> 00:09:24.787
- Embarrass her. but jesus smiled and said, “daughter,
- 00:09:24.854 --> 00:09:26.355
- Smiled and said, “daughter, your faith has made you
- 00:09:26.422 --> 00:09:28.057
- Your faith has made you whole. go in peace. you are
- 00:09:28.124 --> 00:09:30.192
- Whole. go in peace. you are healed.” he was saying, “way
- 00:09:30.259 --> 00:09:32.728
- Healed.” he was saying, “way to go girl. your faith did
- 00:09:32.795 --> 00:09:34.497
- To go girl. your faith did this.” see, there were many
- 00:09:34.563 --> 00:09:36.732
- This.” see, there were many miracles where jesus
- 00:09:36.799 --> 00:09:38.534
- Miracles where jesus initiated the healing. he
- 00:09:38.601 --> 00:09:40.603

- 00:09:44.774 --> 00:09:46.442
- The widow's son back to life, he initiated healing peter's
- 00:09:46.509 --> 00:09:47.877
- He initiated healing peter's mother-in-law. but this case
- 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
- Shows us, how you can initiate the miracle. he said
- 00:09:52.081 --> 00:09:54.350
- Initiate the miracle. he said to the woman, “you activated
- 00:09:54.417 --> 00:09:56.485
- To the woman, “you activated this flow of healing. i saw
- 00:09:56.552 --> 00:09:58.487
- This flow of healing. i saw you push through the crowd. i
- 00:09:58.554 --> 00:10:00.456
- You push through the crowd. i heard you declaring healing
- 00:10:00.523 --> 00:10:01.924
- Heard you declaring healing is coming. i saw you fighting
- 00:10:01.991 --> 00:10:03.926
- Is coming. i saw you fighting off the discouragement, not
- 00:10:03.993 --> 00:10:05.728
- Off the discouragement, not letting naysayers talk you
- 00:10:05.795 --> 00:10:07.029
- Letting naysayers talk you out of it, expecting,
- 00:10:07.096 --> 00:10:08.597
- Out of it, expecting, believing, stretching.”
- 00:10:08.664 --> 00:10:10.766
- Believing, stretching.” that's what activates the
- 00:10:10.833 --> 00:10:12.134
- That's what activates the flow.
- 00:10:12.201 --> 00:10:13.269

- 00:10:13.335 --> 00:10:15.004

- People that needed healing, restoration, breakthroughs.
- 00:10:18.541 --> 00:10:21.043

- 00:10:45.868 --> 00:10:47.369
