Her front porch every morning and thank the lord for

Her neighbor didn't believe in god.
00:00:33.990 --> 00:00:35.158
In god. he'd shout back, "there's no

I want to talk to you today about blessed out of season.
00:01:25.742 --> 00:01:29.012
About blessed out of season. there are times when you can
00:01:29.078 --> 00:01:30.446
There are times when you can feel you're on the verge of a
00:01:30.513 --> 00:01:32.549
Feel you're on the verge of a new level, things are falling
00:01:32.615 --> 00:01:34.551
New level, things are falling into place, you can sense
00:01:34.617 --> 00:01:36.619
Into place, you can sense it's your season.
00:01:36.686 --> 00:01:38.254
It's your season. god's about to do something
00:01:38.321 --> 00:01:39.455
God's about to do something new.
00:01:39.522 --> 00:01:40.323
New. it's important to live with
00:01:40.390 --> 00:01:41.658
It's important to live with that expectancy and believe
00:01:41.724 --> 00:01:43.459
That expectancy and believe for good things, but what
00:01:43.526 --> 00:01:45.595
For good things, but what about the times when it's
00:01:45.662 --> 00:01:47.163
About the times when it's just the opposite?
00:01:47.230 --> 00:01:48.731
Just the opposite? things aren't going our way,
00:01:48.798 --> 00:01:50.633
Things aren't going our way, business is slow, the medical
00:01:50.700 --> 00:01:52.535
Business is slow, the medical report's not good, it's been
00:01:52.602 --> 00:01:54.571
Report's not good, it's been years and we still haven't
00:01:54.637 --> 00:01:56.039
Years and we still haven't met the right person.
00:01:56.105 --> 00:01:57.674
Met the right person. all the circumstances say
00:01:57.740 --> 00:01:59.676
All the circumstances say we're stuck, just endure it,

We're stuck, just endure it, it's not your season.
00:02:01.978 --> 00:02:03.546
It's not your season. the good news is god

He doesn't wait for the conditions to be perfect, for
00:02:10.687 --> 00:02:12.956
Conditions to be perfect, for the circumstances to line up,
00:02:13.022 --> 00:02:15.291
The circumstances to line up, for you to have the training,
00:02:15.358 --> 00:02:16.793
For you to have the training, for the right people to

Things that you didn't see coming.
00:02:23.266 --> 00:02:24.133
Coming. you didn't have the
00:02:24.200 --> 00:02:24.934
You didn't have the experience, but suddenly, you

Were promoted. the report said you wouldn't

Health turned around. you were told you couldn't

You were told you couldn't have children, but against
00:02:34.310 --> 00:02:35.945
Have children, but against all odds, you conceived and
00:02:36.012 --> 00:02:37.814
All odds, you conceived and now you have that baby.
00:02:37.880 --> 00:02:39.649
Now you have that baby. what happened?

00:02:42.285 --> 00:02:43.519
Season. we've been taught to be
00:02:43.586 --> 00:02:44.854
We've been taught to be faithful in the slow periods,
00:02:44.921 --> 00:02:47.123
Faithful in the slow periods, to endure when things aren't
00:02:47.190 --> 00:02:48.691
To endure when things aren't going our way and that's
00:02:48.758 --> 00:02:50.293
Going our way and that's important.
00:02:50.360 --> 00:02:51.160
Important. we have to pass the test.
00:02:51.227 --> 00:02:53.029
We have to pass the test. but sometimes we're being
00:02:53.096 --> 00:02:54.664
But sometimes we're being faithful without releasing
00:02:54.731 --> 00:02:56.933
Faithful without releasing our faith.
00:02:57.000 --> 00:02:58.301
Our faith. we're enduring without
00:02:58.368 --> 00:02:59.902
We're enduring without expecting.
00:02:59.969 --> 00:03:01.404
Expecting. we're waiting for the
00:03:01.471 --> 00:03:02.472
We're waiting for the conditions to change, and
00:03:02.538 --> 00:03:04.307
Conditions to change, and then we'll get our hopes up.
00:03:04.374 --> 00:03:06.476
Then we'll get our hopes up. "when i get through this slow
00:03:06.542 --> 00:03:07.610
"when i get through this slow season, when my child starts
00:03:07.677 --> 00:03:09.445
Season, when my child starts making better decisions, when
00:03:09.512 --> 00:03:11.314
Making better decisions, when i see more progress in my
00:03:11.381 --> 00:03:12.949
I see more progress in my season, then i'll believe
00:03:13.016 --> 00:03:14.250
Season, then i'll believe again."
00:03:14.317 --> 00:03:15.718
Again." you don't have to wait until

He'll do things that don't make sense.
00:03:27.196 --> 00:03:28.464
Make sense. there's no explanation, it's
00:03:28.531 --> 00:03:30.033
There's no explanation, it's just the goodness of god, and
00:03:30.099 --> 00:03:32.502
Just the goodness of god, and when you look around, every

Circumstance may say, "you're not in season.

Not in season. there's no sign of things

There's no sign of things getting better, no sign of
00:03:38.875 --> 00:03:40.510
Getting better, no sign of your health improving, no
00:03:40.576 --> 00:03:42.078
Your health improving, no sign of your being
00:03:42.145 --> 00:03:43.079
Sign of your being promoted."
00:03:43.146 --> 00:03:44.347
Promoted." maybe it's just the opposite.
00:03:44.414 --> 00:03:46.082
Maybe it's just the opposite. things are going down,

You may feel overlooked, nobody's giving you credit,
00:05:12.402 --> 00:05:13.970

You're not in season, none of the conditions look
00:05:25.448 --> 00:05:26.282
The conditions look favorable, but god knows how

Favorable, but god knows how to shift the winds.

Miscarriages. the doctors told her that
00:05:44.567 --> 00:05:45.668
The doctors told her that there was something wrong
00:05:45.735 --> 00:05:46.736
There was something wrong with her womb and she would
00:05:46.803 --> 00:05:48.171
With her womb and she would never be able to carry a baby
00:05:48.237 --> 00:05:49.772
Never be able to carry a baby and she should stop trying.
00:05:49.839 --> 00:05:52.175
And she should stop trying. she had big tears running
00:05:52.241 --> 00:05:53.242
She had big tears running down her cheeks, so
00:05:53.309 --> 00:05:54.644
Down her cheeks, so heartbroken.
00:05:54.710 --> 00:05:55.878
Heartbroken. she was out of season, didn't
00:05:55.945 --> 00:05:57.747
She was out of season, didn't look good, the odds were
00:05:57.814 --> 00:05:59.282
Look good, the odds were against her, but people don't
00:05:59.348 --> 00:06:01.417
Against her, but people don't have the final say, god does.
00:06:01.484 --> 00:06:04.153
Have the final say, god does. last year, she conceived and

Every voice says, "you'll never have the baby, never

Happen that looked impossible.
00:06:28.845 --> 00:06:29.946
Impossible. there is no limit to his

Bethesda for 38 years. there were five porches

There were five porches filled with sick people
00:06:44.927 --> 00:06:46.462
Filled with sick people surrounding this pool.
00:06:46.529 --> 00:06:48.297
Surrounding this pool. verse 4 says an angel would

Season for the angel to come was.
00:07:02.812 --> 00:07:03.579
Was. they'd seen that happen again
00:07:03.646 --> 00:07:05.414
They'd seen that happen again and again.
00:07:05.481 --> 00:07:06.449
And again. they would be especially on

They would be especially on guard.
00:07:07.850 --> 00:07:08.784
Guard. they knew that was their
00:07:08.851 --> 00:07:09.852
They knew that was their window of opportunity to be
00:07:09.919 --> 00:07:11.621
Window of opportunity to be healed.
00:07:11.687 --> 00:07:12.421
Healed. any moment, the angel could

Pool and said to the man, "do you want to get well?"
00:07:19.795 --> 00:07:21.631
You want to get well?" the problem was, it wasn't
00:07:21.697 --> 00:07:23.299
The problem was, it wasn't the right season.
00:07:23.366 --> 00:07:24.901
The right season. this wasn't the normal time
00:07:24.967 --> 00:07:27.103
This wasn't the normal time when the waters would be
00:07:27.169 --> 00:07:28.237
When the waters would be stirred.
00:07:28.304 --> 00:07:29.338
Stirred. i can imagine the man was a
00:07:29.405 --> 00:07:30.506
I can imagine the man was a little confused, he said,
00:07:30.573 --> 00:07:31.908
Little confused, he said, "sir, when the angel comes, i
00:07:31.974 --> 00:07:34.710
"sir, when the angel comes, i have no one to help me get in
00:07:34.777 --> 00:07:36.345
Have no one to help me get in the pool."

Jesus said to him, "get up, pick up your bed, and walk,"
00:07:43.219 --> 00:07:45.121
Pick up your bed, and walk," and instantly, the man was

Isaiah said god will make rivers in the desert, streams
00:08:41.677 --> 00:08:44.914
Rivers in the desert, streams in the barren places.

Conditions to be favorable. a while back, i had gone
00:09:02.031 --> 00:09:03.499

Through a very difficult week.
00:09:04.900 --> 00:09:05.735
Week. it was one of those times
00:09:05.801 --> 00:09:07.203
It was one of those times when everything that could go
00:09:07.269 --> 00:09:08.371
When everything that could go wrong did.

Piece of equipment break that we had to replace.

We had to replace. it was one headache after
00:09:20.616 --> 00:09:22.151
It was one headache after another, and just when i
00:09:22.218 --> 00:09:24.086
Another, and just when i thought it couldn't get any
00:09:24.153 --> 00:09:25.254
Thought it couldn't get any worse, i came home one
00:09:25.321 --> 00:09:27.423
Worse, i came home one afternoon and victoria was
00:09:27.490 --> 00:09:29.258
Afternoon and victoria was sitting in the den holding
00:09:29.325 --> 00:09:30.960

Doctor, long story short, we had to put the dog to sleep.
00:09:36.065 --> 00:09:38.367
Had to put the dog to sleep. of all times, that dog could
00:09:38.434 --> 00:09:40.302
Of all times, that dog could have died, it was that week.
00:09:40.369 --> 00:09:42.672
Have died, it was that week. when it rains, it pours.
00:09:42.738 --> 00:09:44.907
When it rains, it pours. if i ever felt like a time
00:09:44.974 --> 00:09:47.410
If i ever felt like a time where i was definitely not in
00:09:47.476 --> 00:09:49.378
Where i was definitely not in season, it was then.
00:09:49.445 --> 00:09:51.781
Season, it was then. i felt like i was in a
00:09:51.847 --> 00:09:52.682
I felt like i was in a country western song,
00:09:52.748 --> 00:09:54.216
Country western song, everything went wrong, then
00:09:54.283 --> 00:09:55.851
Everything went wrong, then my dog died.
00:09:55.918 --> 00:09:57.887
My dog died. but we all face these seasons
00:09:57.953 --> 00:10:00.289
But we all face these seasons of difficulties and times
00:10:00.356 --> 00:10:01.724
Of difficulties and times where it's one thing after
00:10:01.791 --> 00:10:03.325
Where it's one thing after another coming against us.
00:10:03.392 --> 00:10:05.628
Another coming against us. the last thing on my mind was
00:10:05.695 --> 00:10:07.630
The last thing on my mind was being blessed, seeing favor
00:10:07.697 --> 00:10:10.066
Being blessed, seeing favor and increase.
00:10:10.132 --> 00:10:10.900
And increase. i was praying that god would
00:10:10.966 --> 00:10:12.435
I was praying that god would sustain us and fight our
00:10:12.501 --> 00:10:14.303

But a couple of days later, in the middle of that
00:10:18.674 --> 00:10:19.608
In the middle of that difficulty, i received a call
00:10:19.675 --> 00:10:22.511
Difficulty, i received a call from the vice president of

He said, "okay, i'll have my 800 employees start working
00:10:42.965 --> 00:10:45.801
800 employees start working for you for these next few
00:10:45.868 --> 00:10:47.136
For you for these next few months."
00:10:47.203 --> 00:10:48.137
Months." when i felt the least
00:10:48.204 --> 00:10:49.672
When i felt the least favored, when i had the most
00:10:49.739 --> 00:10:51.974
Favored, when i had the most opposition, god showed up and
00:10:52.041 --> 00:10:54.643
Opposition, god showed up and blessed me out of season.
00:10:54.710 --> 00:10:57.913
Blessed me out of season. just because you don't feel
00:10:57.980 --> 00:10:59.749
Just because you don't feel favored, doesn't mean that
00:10:59.815 --> 00:11:01.984
Favored, doesn't mean that you're not favored.
00:11:02.051 --> 00:11:03.552
You're not favored. sometimes god will even wait
00:11:03.619 --> 00:11:05.988
Sometimes god will even wait till you're out of season,
00:11:06.055 --> 00:11:08.224
Till you're out of season, then do something amazing
00:11:08.290 --> 00:11:10.392
Then do something amazing just to remind you that he's
00:11:10.459 --> 00:11:12.094
Just to remind you that he's in control and he being for
00:11:12.161 --> 00:11:14.730
In control and he being for you is more than the world
00:11:14.797 --> 00:11:16.365
You is more than the world being against you.
00:11:16.432 --> 00:11:18.601
Being against you. do you feel out of season?
00:11:18.667 --> 00:11:20.770
Do you feel out of season? you're stuck in some area?
00:11:20.836 --> 00:11:22.037
You're stuck in some area? stay encouraged.
00:11:22.104 --> 00:11:23.372
Stay encouraged. god has you in the palm of
00:11:23.439 --> 00:11:24.840
God has you in the palm of his hand.
00:11:24.907 --> 00:11:26.108
His hand. he sees what's happening.
00:11:26.175 --> 00:11:27.710
He sees what's happening. he hasn't brought you this
00:11:27.777 --> 00:11:29.011
He hasn't brought you this far to leave you.
00:11:29.078 --> 00:11:30.546
Far to leave you. he's about to do something
00:11:30.613 --> 00:11:31.981
He's about to do something out of the ordinary,
00:11:32.047 --> 00:11:33.349
Out of the ordinary, something greater than what
00:11:33.415 --> 00:11:35.551
Something greater than what you've imagined where you're
00:11:35.618 --> 00:11:37.219
You've imagined where you're going to say like i did, "wow
00:11:37.286 --> 00:11:38.788
Going to say like i did, "wow god, i didn't see that
00:11:38.854 --> 00:11:40.055
God, i didn't see that coming."
00:11:40.122 --> 00:11:41.223
Coming." when jesus healed the
00:11:41.290 --> 00:11:42.491
When jesus healed the crippled man, it was not only
00:11:42.558 --> 00:11:44.126
Crippled man, it was not only the wrong season when the
00:11:44.193 --> 00:11:46.128
The wrong season when the angel normally didn't come,
00:11:46.195 --> 00:11:48.230
Angel normally didn't come, but it was the sabbath.
00:11:48.297 --> 00:11:50.366
But it was the sabbath. the religious leaders
00:11:50.432 --> 00:11:51.367
The religious leaders complained that he healed the
00:11:51.433 --> 00:11:53.035
Complained that he healed the man on the wrong day.
00:11:53.102 --> 00:11:55.404
Man on the wrong day. you weren't supposed to work
00:11:55.471 --> 00:11:56.505
You weren't supposed to work on the sabbath.
00:11:56.572 --> 00:11:57.640
On the sabbath. but i found god likes to
00:11:57.706 --> 00:11:59.508
But i found god likes to break the rules.
00:11:59.575 --> 00:12:01.510
Break the rules. he likes to do things out of
00:12:01.577 --> 00:12:02.745
He likes to do things out of the ordinary, things that
00:12:02.812 --> 00:12:04.313
The ordinary, things that don't make sense where there
00:12:04.380 --> 00:12:05.948
Don't make sense where there is no logical explanation.
00:12:06.015 --> 00:12:08.951
Is no logical explanation. that's what happened to my
00:12:09.018 --> 00:12:10.085
That's what happened to my mom, she was diagnosed with
00:12:10.152 --> 00:12:11.954
Mom, she was diagnosed with terminal liver cancer in 1981
00:12:12.021 --> 00:12:15.658
Terminal liver cancer in 1981 and given a few weeks to
00:12:15.724 --> 00:12:16.959
And given a few weeks to live.
00:12:17.026 --> 00:12:17.960
Live. there was no treatment the
00:12:18.027 --> 00:12:19.195
There was no treatment the doctors could give her.
00:12:19.261 --> 00:12:20.996
Doctors could give her. unfortunately, they sent her
00:12:21.063 --> 00:12:22.264
Unfortunately, they sent her home and told her to just
00:12:22.331 --> 00:12:23.699
Home and told her to just prepare for the worst.
00:12:23.766 --> 00:12:25.534
Prepare for the worst. she was definitely out of
00:12:25.601 --> 00:12:27.036
She was definitely out of season.
00:12:27.102 --> 00:12:27.970
Season. of course, she wanted to
00:12:28.037 --> 00:12:29.305
Of course, she wanted to live, but it looked like the
00:12:29.371 --> 00:12:30.673
Live, but it looked like the angel was way, way off.
00:12:30.739 --> 00:12:32.842
Angel was way, way off. it looked like the troubling
00:12:32.908 --> 00:12:33.976
It looked like the troubling of the waters would be a
00:12:34.043 --> 00:12:34.777
Of the waters would be a long, long time, but the god
00:12:34.844 --> 00:12:37.246
Long, long time, but the god who controls your destiny,
00:12:37.313 --> 00:12:39.114
Who controls your destiny, the god who breathed life
00:12:39.181 --> 00:12:40.516
The god who breathed life into you, the god who knew
00:12:40.583 --> 00:12:42.518
Into you, the god who knew you before you were formed in
00:12:42.585 --> 00:12:44.153
You before you were formed in your mother's womb, against
00:12:44.220 --> 00:12:46.355
Your mother's womb, against all odds, he showed up out of
00:12:46.422 --> 00:12:49.325
All odds, he showed up out of season.
00:12:49.391 --> 00:12:50.826
Season. when it looked impossible,
00:12:50.893 --> 00:12:52.428
When it looked impossible, medically speaking, she
00:12:52.494 --> 00:12:53.662
Medically speaking, she didn't have a chance, what
00:12:53.729 --> 00:12:55.197
Didn't have a chance, what happened?
00:12:55.264 --> 00:12:55.931
Happened? god broke the rules.
00:12:55.998 --> 00:12:57.666
God broke the rules. he did what medicine couldn't
00:12:57.733 --> 00:12:58.901
He did what medicine couldn't do, and today, 37 years
00:12:58.968 --> 00:13:00.870
Do, and today, 37 years later, my mom is still alive
00:13:00.936 --> 00:13:02.905
Later, my mom is still alive and still going strong.
00:13:02.972 --> 00:13:05.975
And still going strong. where are the people that
00:13:06.041 --> 00:13:07.376
Where are the people that will say, "god, i believe you
00:13:07.443 --> 00:13:09.645
Will say, "god, i believe you can bless me out of season?
00:13:09.712 --> 00:13:12.047
Can bless me out of season? the report doesn't look good,
00:13:12.114 --> 00:13:13.883
The report doesn't look good, but i know you can heal me.
00:13:13.949 --> 00:13:15.951
But i know you can heal me. i've had the addiction for
00:13:16.018 --> 00:13:16.986
I've had the addiction for years, but i know you can
00:13:17.052 --> 00:13:18.153
Years, but i know you can free me.
00:13:18.220 --> 00:13:19.555
Free me. my family's off course, but i
00:13:19.622 --> 00:13:20.923
My family's off course, but i know, as for me and my house,
00:13:20.990 --> 00:13:22.858
Know, as for me and my house, we will serve the lord."
00:13:22.925 --> 00:13:25.661
We will serve the lord." when you're not just enduring
00:13:25.728 --> 00:13:27.563
When you're not just enduring a slow season, but you're
00:13:27.630 --> 00:13:28.731
A slow season, but you're releasing your faith,
00:13:28.797 --> 00:13:30.532
Releasing your faith, expecting god's goodness,
00:13:30.599 --> 00:13:32.368
Expecting god's goodness, he'll make things happen that
00:13:32.434 --> 00:13:34.036
He'll make things happen that you couldn't make happen.
00:13:34.103 --> 00:13:36.205
You couldn't make happen. in some area of life, we're
00:13:36.272 --> 00:13:38.040
In some area of life, we're all out of season,
00:13:38.107 --> 00:13:39.508
All out of season, something's slow, something's
00:13:39.575 --> 00:13:41.076
Something's slow, something's not changing.
00:13:41.143 --> 00:13:42.144
Not changing. it's easy to accept it and
00:13:42.211 --> 00:13:44.079
It's easy to accept it and think that's the way it's
00:13:44.146 --> 00:13:45.180
Think that's the way it's always going to be.
00:13:45.247 --> 00:13:46.749
Always going to be. you have to stir your faith
00:13:46.815 --> 00:13:48.217
You have to stir your faith up.
00:13:48.284 --> 00:13:49.151
Up. any moment, god could turn it
00:13:49.218 --> 00:13:50.819
Any moment, god could turn it around.
00:13:50.886 --> 00:13:51.787
Around. it could happen this month,
00:13:51.854 --> 00:13:53.222
It could happen this month, it could happen this week, it
00:13:53.289 --> 00:13:54.690
It could happen this week, it could happen today.
00:13:54.757 --> 00:13:56.225
Could happen today. god is not waiting for the
00:13:56.292 --> 00:13:57.927
God is not waiting for the conditions to be more
00:13:57.993 --> 00:13:59.662
Conditions to be more favorable.
00:13:59.728 --> 00:14:00.963
Favorable. he's not waiting for somebody
00:14:01.030 --> 00:14:02.698
He's not waiting for somebody to give you a break, for the
00:14:02.765 --> 00:14:04.400
To give you a break, for the medical report to improve.
00:14:04.466 --> 00:14:06.135
Medical report to improve. he's not even waiting for you
00:14:06.201 --> 00:14:08.170
He's not even waiting for you to have more faith.
00:14:08.237 --> 00:14:09.905
To have more faith. you have the faith you need
00:14:09.972 --> 00:14:11.874
You have the faith you need right now.
00:14:11.941 --> 00:14:13.108
Right now. if you'll start releasing it,
00:14:13.175 --> 00:14:14.910
If you'll start releasing it, expecting his goodness,
00:14:14.977 --> 00:14:16.879
Expecting his goodness, thanking him for his favor,
00:14:16.946 --> 00:14:18.747
Thanking him for his favor, then god will show up out of
00:14:18.814 --> 00:14:20.482
Then god will show up out of season.
00:14:20.549 --> 00:14:21.617
Season. he'll do things unexpectedly,
00:14:21.684 --> 00:14:23.852
He'll do things unexpectedly, things that you didn't see
00:14:23.919 --> 00:14:24.820
Things that you didn't see coming.
00:14:24.887 --> 00:14:26.055
Coming. i talked to a lady that had
00:14:26.121 --> 00:14:27.656
I talked to a lady that had struggled with a drug
00:14:27.723 --> 00:14:28.857
Struggled with a drug addiction for over 25 years,
00:14:28.924 --> 00:14:31.327
Addiction for over 25 years, and she'd gone to rehab and
00:14:31.393 --> 00:14:33.128
And she'd gone to rehab and therapy again and again with
00:14:33.195 --> 00:14:35.197
Therapy again and again with no success.
00:14:35.264 --> 00:14:36.932
No success. like the man by the pool that
00:14:36.999 --> 00:14:38.467
Like the man by the pool that had been there 38 years, she
00:14:38.534 --> 00:14:40.536
Had been there 38 years, she thought she would never be
00:14:40.602 --> 00:14:42.204
Thought she would never be well.
00:14:42.271 --> 00:14:43.172
Well. she had lost her family, lost
00:14:43.238 --> 00:14:45.007
She had lost her family, lost her job, lost her home.
00:14:45.074 --> 00:14:47.576
Her job, lost her home. she was definitely out of
00:14:47.643 --> 00:14:49.111
She was definitely out of season, but god is working
00:14:49.178 --> 00:14:52.047
Season, but god is working behind the scenes.
00:14:52.114 --> 00:14:53.682
Behind the scenes. being addicted is not your
00:14:53.749 --> 00:14:55.651
Being addicted is not your destiny.
00:14:55.718 --> 00:14:57.086
Destiny. constantly struggling in your
00:14:57.152 --> 00:14:58.520
Constantly struggling in your health, your finances, your
00:14:58.587 --> 00:15:00.489
Health, your finances, your relationships, that is not
00:15:00.556 --> 00:15:02.424
Relationships, that is not how your story is going to
00:15:02.491 --> 00:15:04.159
How your story is going to end.
00:15:04.226 --> 00:15:04.994
End. it's not permanent, it's
00:15:05.060 --> 00:15:06.562
It's not permanent, it's temporary, and someone gave
00:15:06.628 --> 00:15:08.831
Temporary, and someone gave her a copy of my book, "the
00:15:08.897 --> 00:15:10.833
Her a copy of my book, "the power of i am."
00:15:10.899 --> 00:15:12.434
Power of i am." it talks about how we have to
00:15:12.501 --> 00:15:13.702
It talks about how we have to speak words of faith and make
00:15:13.769 --> 00:15:15.938
Speak words of faith and make declarations of victory over
00:15:16.005 --> 00:15:17.773
Declarations of victory over our lives.
00:15:17.840 --> 00:15:19.008
Our lives. for years, she had done just
00:15:19.074 --> 00:15:20.809
For years, she had done just the opposite.
00:15:20.876 --> 00:15:22.211
The opposite. she'd talked about how she'd
00:15:22.277 --> 00:15:23.245
She'd talked about how she'd never be free and how she'd
00:15:23.312 --> 00:15:25.114
Never be free and how she'd never break the addiction.
00:15:25.180 --> 00:15:27.082
Never break the addiction. when you speak negative words
00:15:27.149 --> 00:15:29.385
When you speak negative words over your life, they get down
00:15:29.451 --> 00:15:31.320
Over your life, they get down into your spirit and you
00:15:31.387 --> 00:15:32.788
Into your spirit and you start to live negative.
00:15:32.855 --> 00:15:34.590
Start to live negative. every day, she started
00:15:34.656 --> 00:15:36.392
Every day, she started declaring, "i am free.
00:15:36.458 --> 00:15:38.861
Declaring, "i am free. i am whole.
00:15:38.927 --> 00:15:40.129
I am whole. this addiction does not
00:15:40.195 --> 00:15:41.296
This addiction does not control me."
00:15:41.363 --> 00:15:42.498
Control me." she changed her attitude from
00:15:42.564 --> 00:15:44.767
She changed her attitude from a victim mentality to a
00:15:44.833 --> 00:15:46.835
A victim mentality to a victor mentality.
00:15:46.902 --> 00:15:49.004
Victor mentality. last year, against all odds,
00:15:49.071 --> 00:15:51.774
Last year, against all odds, after 25 years, she suddenly
00:15:51.840 --> 00:15:54.276
After 25 years, she suddenly broke that addiction.
00:15:54.343 --> 00:15:55.844
Broke that addiction. today, she has a new job,
00:15:55.911 --> 00:15:58.113
Today, she has a new job, she's got her family back.
00:15:58.180 --> 00:15:59.615
She's got her family back. she just started attending a
00:15:59.681 --> 00:16:00.482
She just started attending a local church.
00:16:00.549 --> 00:16:01.950
Local church. one thing that always
00:16:02.017 --> 00:16:02.918
One thing that always concerned her was that her
00:16:02.985 --> 00:16:05.220
Concerned her was that her mother would die without
00:16:05.287 --> 00:16:06.422
Mother would die without seeing her free.
00:16:06.488 --> 00:16:08.023
Seeing her free. she knew she was breaking her
00:16:08.090 --> 00:16:09.258
She knew she was breaking her mother's heart.
00:16:09.324 --> 00:16:10.526
Mother's heart. she told me with tears in her
00:16:10.592 --> 00:16:12.461
She told me with tears in her eyes how her mother calls all
00:16:12.528 --> 00:16:14.963
Eyes how her mother calls all the time and tells her how
00:16:15.030 --> 00:16:16.999
The time and tells her how proud she is of her.
00:16:17.066 --> 00:16:19.068
Proud she is of her. like this lady, you may not
00:16:19.134 --> 00:16:21.036
Like this lady, you may not see how your situation could
00:16:21.103 --> 00:16:22.805
See how your situation could change.
00:16:22.871 --> 00:16:23.639
Change. it's been that way a long
00:16:23.705 --> 00:16:24.840
It's been that way a long time, but god has not
00:16:24.907 --> 00:16:27.142
Time, but god has not forgotten about you.
00:16:27.209 --> 00:16:28.877
Forgotten about you. something is about to happen
00:16:28.944 --> 00:16:30.946
Something is about to happen out of season.
00:16:31.013 --> 00:16:32.915
Out of season. you can't see it coming.
00:16:32.981 --> 00:16:34.550
You can't see it coming. you feel like you're stuck,
00:16:34.616 --> 00:16:36.018
You feel like you're stuck, but suddenly, you're going to
00:16:36.085 --> 00:16:37.753
But suddenly, you're going to break the addiction.
00:16:37.820 --> 00:16:39.054
Break the addiction. suddenly, you're going to
00:16:39.121 --> 00:16:40.055
Suddenly, you're going to meet the right person.
00:16:40.122 --> 00:16:41.423
Meet the right person. suddenly, god's going to
00:16:41.490 --> 00:16:42.724
Suddenly, god's going to catapult you to the next
00:16:42.791 --> 00:16:44.226
Catapult you to the next level.
00:16:44.293 --> 00:16:45.561
Level. jesus asked the crippled man
00:16:45.627 --> 00:16:47.429
Jesus asked the crippled man if he wanted to be well.
00:16:47.496 --> 00:16:49.131
If he wanted to be well. in one sense, he was saying,
00:16:49.198 --> 00:16:51.400
In one sense, he was saying, "i need your permission to
00:16:51.467 --> 00:16:53.168
"i need your permission to help you.
00:16:53.235 --> 00:16:54.536
Help you. if you're not in agreement
00:16:54.603 --> 00:16:55.871
If you're not in agreement with me, i can't turn this
00:16:55.938 --> 00:16:57.539
With me, i can't turn this around."
00:16:57.606 --> 00:16:58.941
Around." will you give god permission
00:16:59.007 --> 00:17:00.809
Will you give god permission to free you, permission to
00:17:00.876 --> 00:17:02.778
To free you, permission to heal you, permission to bless
00:17:02.845 --> 00:17:04.913
Heal you, permission to bless you?
00:17:04.980 --> 00:17:05.647
You? you have to get in agreement
00:17:05.714 --> 00:17:07.116
You have to get in agreement with god.
00:17:07.182 --> 00:17:08.217
With god. as long as you're thinking of
00:17:08.283 --> 00:17:09.651
As long as you're thinking of all the reasons why it's not
00:17:09.718 --> 00:17:11.320
All the reasons why it's not going to happen, talking
00:17:11.386 --> 00:17:12.955
Going to happen, talking about how impossible it is,
00:17:13.021 --> 00:17:14.923
About how impossible it is, then you'll get stuck where
00:17:14.990 --> 00:17:16.191
Then you'll get stuck where you are, and you may not see
00:17:16.258 --> 00:17:18.327
You are, and you may not see how it can work out, that's
00:17:18.393 --> 00:17:20.028
How it can work out, that's because you're looking at it
00:17:20.095 --> 00:17:21.864
Because you're looking at it in the natural.
00:17:21.930 --> 00:17:23.065
In the natural. we serve a supernatural god.
00:17:23.132 --> 00:17:26.101
We serve a supernatural god. he can bring quail in from
00:17:26.168 --> 00:17:27.703
He can bring quail in from the sea.
00:17:27.769 --> 00:17:28.904
The sea. he can heal you without the
00:17:28.971 --> 00:17:30.072
He can heal you without the treatment.
00:17:30.139 --> 00:17:31.073
Treatment. he can promote you like david
00:17:31.140 --> 00:17:32.608
He can promote you like david without the qualifications,
00:17:32.674 --> 00:17:34.843
Without the qualifications, and the conditions may not
00:17:34.910 --> 00:17:36.078
And the conditions may not look favorable, may not look
00:17:36.145 --> 00:17:37.980
Look favorable, may not look like it'll ever change.
00:17:38.046 --> 00:17:39.281
Like it'll ever change. this is what faith is all
00:17:39.348 --> 00:17:40.883
This is what faith is all about.
00:17:40.949 --> 00:17:41.850
About. turn it around.
00:17:41.917 --> 00:17:42.684
Turn it around. lord, i don't see a way, but
00:17:42.751 --> 00:17:45.120
Lord, i don't see a way, but i know you're still on the
00:17:45.187 --> 00:17:46.288
I know you're still on the throne.
00:17:46.355 --> 00:17:47.156
Throne. i know you're bigger than
00:17:47.222 --> 00:17:48.223
I know you're bigger than what i'm facing.
00:17:48.290 --> 00:17:49.391
What i'm facing. you've done it for me in the
00:17:49.458 --> 00:17:50.526
You've done it for me in the past.
00:17:50.592 --> 00:17:51.226
Past. lord, i want to thank you
00:17:51.293 --> 00:17:52.661
Lord, i want to thank you you'll do it for me again in
00:17:52.728 --> 00:17:53.929
You'll do it for me again in the future.
00:17:53.996 --> 00:17:55.197
The future. jesus healed the man, not
00:17:55.264 --> 00:17:56.932
Jesus healed the man, not only when he was out of
00:17:56.999 --> 00:17:58.700
Only when he was out of season, but he didn't do it
00:17:58.767 --> 00:18:01.103
Season, but he didn't do it the normal way, the way they
00:18:01.170 --> 00:18:03.105
The normal way, the way they were expecting.
00:18:03.172 --> 00:18:04.373
Were expecting. he didn't have him go look
00:18:04.439 --> 00:18:05.607
He didn't have him go look for the stirring of the
00:18:05.674 --> 00:18:06.642
For the stirring of the waters.
00:18:06.708 --> 00:18:07.442
Waters. he didn't have him dip in the
00:18:07.509 --> 00:18:08.443
He didn't have him dip in the pool.
00:18:08.510 --> 00:18:09.211
Pool. he did it an unusual way.
00:18:09.278 --> 00:18:11.713
He did it an unusual way. god is not only going to do
00:18:11.780 --> 00:18:13.448
God is not only going to do things for you out of season,
00:18:13.515 --> 00:18:15.951
Things for you out of season, not at the normal time, he's
00:18:16.018 --> 00:18:18.153
Not at the normal time, he's going to do them a
00:18:18.220 --> 00:18:19.288
Going to do them a nontraditional way.
00:18:19.354 --> 00:18:21.757
Nontraditional way. it's not going to be the way
00:18:21.823 --> 00:18:22.891
It's not going to be the way you thought, with the people
00:18:22.958 --> 00:18:24.660
You thought, with the people you thought, how you were
00:18:24.726 --> 00:18:25.994
You thought, how you were expecting it.
00:18:26.061 --> 00:18:27.329
Expecting it. so, don't put god in a box
00:18:27.396 --> 00:18:29.331
So, don't put god in a box and tell him how to do it,
00:18:29.398 --> 00:18:30.766
And tell him how to do it, when to do it, who to use.
00:18:30.832 --> 00:18:32.601
When to do it, who to use. sometimes we think god needs
00:18:32.668 --> 00:18:34.436
Sometimes we think god needs our help, that he doesn't
00:18:34.503 --> 00:18:35.604
Our help, that he doesn't know all the details, so we
00:18:35.671 --> 00:18:36.872
Know all the details, so we have to fill him in.
00:18:36.939 --> 00:18:38.040
Have to fill him in. no, let god do it his way.
00:18:38.106 --> 00:18:40.742
No, let god do it his way. he has it all figured out,
00:18:40.809 --> 00:18:42.511
He has it all figured out, his ways are better than our
00:18:42.578 --> 00:18:44.713
His ways are better than our ways.
00:18:44.780 --> 00:18:46.014
Ways. as long as you're set in your
00:18:46.081 --> 00:18:47.583
As long as you're set in your thinking, here's how it's
00:18:47.649 --> 00:18:48.750
Thinking, here's how it's going to happen, and who he's
00:18:48.817 --> 00:18:50.185
Going to happen, and who he's going to use, and when it's
00:18:50.252 --> 00:18:51.386
Going to use, and when it's going to happen, then you'll
00:18:51.453 --> 00:18:52.854
Going to happen, then you'll be frustrated.
00:18:52.921 --> 00:18:54.256
Be frustrated. god has ways you've never
00:18:54.323 --> 00:18:55.657
God has ways you've never thought of.
00:18:55.724 --> 00:18:56.525
Thought of. he's not waiting for the
00:18:56.592 --> 00:18:57.926
He's not waiting for the angel.
00:18:57.993 --> 00:18:59.228
Angel. you may think you have to
00:18:59.294 --> 00:19:00.629
You may think you have to work your way up gradually in
00:19:00.696 --> 00:19:02.631
Work your way up gradually in that company.
00:19:02.698 --> 00:19:03.999
That company. if you can convince the
00:19:04.066 --> 00:19:04.933
If you can convince the supervisor to like you, in
00:19:05.000 --> 00:19:06.902
Supervisor to like you, in three years you'll get a
00:19:06.969 --> 00:19:08.003
Three years you'll get a promotion, maybe in five
00:19:08.070 --> 00:19:09.805
Promotion, maybe in five years you'll be an assistant
00:19:09.871 --> 00:19:10.906
Years you'll be an assistant manager.
00:19:10.973 --> 00:19:11.840
Manager. one touch of god's favor will
00:19:11.907 --> 00:19:14.409
One touch of god's favor will put you 50 years down the
00:19:14.476 --> 00:19:15.978
Put you 50 years down the road.
00:19:16.044 --> 00:19:17.579
Road. we think natural, god thinks
00:19:17.646 --> 00:19:19.781
We think natural, god thinks supernatural.
00:19:19.848 --> 00:19:21.383
Supernatural. he's going to do it a
00:19:21.450 --> 00:19:22.384
He's going to do it a nontraditional way.
00:19:22.451 --> 00:19:24.786
Nontraditional way. you didn't see it coming, you
00:19:24.853 --> 00:19:26.655
You didn't see it coming, you weren't expecting it, but
00:19:26.722 --> 00:19:28.156
Weren't expecting it, but it's going to be better than
00:19:28.223 --> 00:19:29.491
It's going to be better than you imagined.
00:19:29.558 --> 00:19:31.159
You imagined. are you out of season?
00:19:31.226 --> 00:19:32.761
Are you out of season? have you gone through
00:19:32.828 --> 00:19:33.562
Have you gone through disappointments, closed
00:19:33.629 --> 00:19:34.997
Disappointments, closed doors?
00:19:35.063 --> 00:19:35.764
Doors? stay encouraged, god is up to
00:19:35.831 --> 00:19:38.100
Stay encouraged, god is up to something.
00:19:38.166 --> 00:19:39.101
Something. he's working behind the
00:19:39.167 --> 00:19:40.502
He's working behind the scenes.
00:19:40.569 --> 00:19:41.503
Scenes. he's about to do something
00:19:41.570 --> 00:19:42.904
He's about to do something unusual, out of the ordinary
00:19:42.971 --> 00:19:45.741
Unusual, out of the ordinary that you weren't expecting.
00:19:45.807 --> 00:19:47.509
That you weren't expecting. he has one of those "i didn't
00:19:47.576 --> 00:19:49.044
He has one of those "i didn't see it coming" blessings
00:19:49.111 --> 00:19:50.779
See it coming" blessings headed your way.
00:19:50.846 --> 00:19:52.848
Headed your way. in luke chapter 5, jesus was
00:19:52.914 --> 00:19:55.117
In luke chapter 5, jesus was by the sea of galilee one
00:19:55.183 --> 00:19:56.718
By the sea of galilee one morning.
00:19:56.785 --> 00:19:57.719
Morning. he noticed peter's empty boat
00:19:57.786 --> 00:20:00.055
He noticed peter's empty boat over on the shore.
00:20:00.122 --> 00:20:01.690
Over on the shore. peter was off cleaning his
00:20:01.757 --> 00:20:02.991
Peter was off cleaning his nets, tired after a long
00:20:03.058 --> 00:20:04.926
Nets, tired after a long night of fishing.
00:20:04.993 --> 00:20:06.528
Night of fishing. there were so many people
00:20:06.595 --> 00:20:08.030
There were so many people gathered around jesus, he'd
00:20:08.096 --> 00:20:09.998
Gathered around jesus, he'd never met peter, but he asked
00:20:10.065 --> 00:20:11.767
Never met peter, but he asked to borrow his boat.
00:20:11.833 --> 00:20:13.335
To borrow his boat. peter agreed.
00:20:13.402 --> 00:20:14.670
Peter agreed. jesus pushed out from the
00:20:14.736 --> 00:20:15.971
Jesus pushed out from the shore and taught the people.
00:20:16.038 --> 00:20:17.706
Shore and taught the people. when he was finished, he
00:20:17.773 --> 00:20:18.774
When he was finished, he wanted to do something to
00:20:18.840 --> 00:20:20.142
Wanted to do something to thank peter.
00:20:20.208 --> 00:20:21.443
Thank peter. he told him to go back out
00:20:21.510 --> 00:20:23.645
He told him to go back out into the water and he would
00:20:23.712 --> 00:20:25.280
Into the water and he would catch a great haul of fish.
00:20:25.347 --> 00:20:27.716
Catch a great haul of fish. peter was a professional
00:20:27.783 --> 00:20:29.384
Peter was a professional fisherman.
00:20:29.451 --> 00:20:30.419
Fisherman. he had done this for years.
00:20:30.485 --> 00:20:32.154
He had done this for years. he knew when to fish.
00:20:32.220 --> 00:20:33.689
He knew when to fish. this type of fishing, you
00:20:33.755 --> 00:20:35.624
This type of fishing, you didn't do in the morning.
00:20:35.691 --> 00:20:37.592
Didn't do in the morning. everything in peter said,
00:20:37.659 --> 00:20:39.261
Everything in peter said, "don't go back out.
00:20:39.328 --> 00:20:40.696
"don't go back out. it's going to be a waste of
00:20:40.762 --> 00:20:41.630
It's going to be a waste of time.
00:20:41.697 --> 00:20:42.431
Time. this is not when the fish
00:20:42.497 --> 00:20:43.932
This is not when the fish normally bite."
00:20:43.999 --> 00:20:45.467
Normally bite." peter said, "sir, we worked
00:20:45.534 --> 00:20:47.235
Peter said, "sir, we worked hard all lost night and
00:20:47.302 --> 00:20:49.037
Hard all lost night and caught nothing, yet if you
00:20:49.104 --> 00:20:51.006
Caught nothing, yet if you say so, i'll go back out."
00:20:51.073 --> 00:20:53.775
Say so, i'll go back out." he went out and caught so
00:20:53.842 --> 00:20:55.243
He went out and caught so many fish that his net began
00:20:55.310 --> 00:20:57.479
Many fish that his net began to break.
00:20:57.546 --> 00:20:58.580
To break. what's interesting is there
00:20:58.647 --> 00:21:00.515
What's interesting is there were no fish there the night
00:21:00.582 --> 00:21:02.351
Were no fish there the night before, but god controls the
00:21:02.417 --> 00:21:04.619
Before, but god controls the fish.
00:21:04.686 --> 00:21:05.754
Fish. he doesn't have to wait for
00:21:05.821 --> 00:21:06.988
He doesn't have to wait for the right time, the right
00:21:07.055 --> 00:21:08.623
The right time, the right season, for the way it
00:21:08.690 --> 00:21:10.058
Season, for the way it normally happens.
00:21:10.125 --> 00:21:11.460
Normally happens. god can break the rules.
