Something funny. and i heard about this
00:00:27.106 --> 00:00:28.240
And i heard about this mother, and one sunday

Going to go to church today." she said, "why not?"
00:00:38.917 --> 00:00:39.785
She said, "why not?" he said, "i'll give you two
00:00:39.852 --> 00:00:40.786
He said, "i'll give you two good reasons.
00:00:40.853 --> 00:00:41.920
Good reasons. number one, i don't like the

Number one, i don't like the people.
00:00:43.555 --> 00:00:44.656
People. and number two, they don't
00:00:44.723 --> 00:00:45.858
And number two, they don't like me."
00:00:45.924 --> 00:00:47.426
Like me." she said, "all right, i'll
00:00:47.493 --> 00:00:48.227
She said, "all right, i'll give you two better reasons
00:00:48.293 --> 00:00:49.294
Give you two better reasons why you should go.
00:00:49.361 --> 00:00:50.496
Why you should go. number one, you're 49 years
00:00:50.562 --> 00:00:52.131
Number one, you're 49 years old.
00:00:52.197 --> 00:00:53.532
Old. and number two, you're the

And number two, you're the pastor."
00:00:54.600 --> 00:00:57.136
Pastor." say it like you mean it.
00:00:57.202 --> 00:00:58.670
Say it like you mean it. this is my bible.
00:00:58.737 --> 00:01:00.272
This is my bible. i am what it says i am.
00:01:00.339 --> 00:01:01.974
I am what it says i am. i have what it says i have.
00:01:02.040 --> 00:01:03.675
I have what it says i have. i can do what it says i can
00:01:03.742 --> 00:01:04.710
I can do what it says i can do.
00:01:04.776 --> 00:01:06.044
Do. today, i will be taught the
00:01:06.111 --> 00:01:07.079
Today, i will be taught the word of god.
00:01:07.146 --> 00:01:08.347
Word of god. i boldly confess my mind is
00:01:08.413 --> 00:01:10.215
I boldly confess my mind is alert, my heart is receptive.
00:01:10.282 --> 00:01:12.784
Alert, my heart is receptive. i will never be the same, in
00:01:12.851 --> 00:01:14.653
I will never be the same, in jesus' name.
00:01:14.720 --> 00:01:16.688
Jesus' name. god bless you.
00:01:16.755 --> 00:01:18.157
God bless you. i want to talk to you today
00:01:18.223 --> 00:01:19.424
I want to talk to you today about high time.
00:01:19.491 --> 00:01:21.960
About high time. when we've been believing for
00:01:22.027 --> 00:01:23.362
When we've been believing for our dreams to come to pass
00:01:23.428 --> 00:01:24.796
Our dreams to come to pass for a long time or problems
00:01:24.863 --> 00:01:26.965
For a long time or problems to turn around, and we don't
00:01:27.032 --> 00:01:28.734
To turn around, and we don't see anything happening, we're
00:01:28.800 --> 00:01:30.636
See anything happening, we're not making progress, we're
00:01:30.702 --> 00:01:32.237
Not making progress, we're not getting good breaks, it's
00:01:32.304 --> 00:01:34.106
Not getting good breaks, it's easy to lose our passion and
00:01:34.173 --> 00:01:36.275
Easy to lose our passion and not expect things to change.
00:01:36.341 --> 00:01:38.844
Not expect things to change. it's been that way so long,
00:01:38.911 --> 00:01:40.546
It's been that way so long, we start accepting it.
00:01:40.612 --> 00:01:42.281
We start accepting it. "i'll never get well.
00:01:42.347 --> 00:01:43.916
"i'll never get well. i'll never break this
00:01:43.982 --> 00:01:44.783
I'll never break this addiction.
00:01:44.850 --> 00:01:45.784
Addiction. i'll never accomplish my
00:01:45.851 --> 00:01:46.852
I'll never accomplish my goals.
00:01:46.919 --> 00:01:47.686
Goals. i tried, i prayed, i
00:01:47.753 --> 00:01:48.887
I tried, i prayed, i believed, but it didn't work
00:01:48.954 --> 00:01:50.455
Believed, but it didn't work out."
00:01:50.522 --> 00:01:51.490
Out." that may have been true in
00:01:51.557 --> 00:01:52.925
That may have been true in the past, but i believe you
00:01:52.991 --> 00:01:55.093
The past, but i believe you are entering into a new
00:01:55.160 --> 00:01:56.662
Are entering into a new season.
00:01:56.728 --> 00:01:58.130
Season. the scripture says, "now is
00:01:58.197 --> 00:02:00.199
The scripture says, "now is the high time to wake up out
00:02:00.265 --> 00:02:03.001
The high time to wake up out of your sleep.
00:02:03.068 --> 00:02:04.369
Of your sleep. for you are nearer to your
00:02:04.436 --> 00:02:05.804
For you are nearer to your salvation than when you first
00:02:05.871 --> 00:02:07.873
Salvation than when you first believed."
00:02:07.940 --> 00:02:09.241
Believed." when god first put the
00:02:09.308 --> 00:02:10.509
When god first put the promises in your heart, you
00:02:10.576 --> 00:02:12.177
Promises in your heart, you were excited, you told people
00:02:12.244 --> 00:02:14.580
What you were going to do,
00:02:14.746 --> 00:02:16.348
What you were going to do, but now it's been months,
00:02:16.415 --> 00:02:17.983
But now it's been months, maybe years.
00:02:18.050 --> 00:02:19.351
Maybe years. it hasn't turned out the way
00:02:19.418 --> 00:02:20.519
It hasn't turned out the way you had planned.
00:02:20.586 --> 00:02:21.853
You had planned. you don't think it's ever
00:02:21.920 --> 00:02:22.854
You don't think it's ever going to happen.
00:02:22.921 --> 00:02:24.256
Going to happen. god is saying, "you are
00:02:24.323 --> 00:02:25.958
God is saying, "you are closer now to seeing it come
00:02:26.024 --> 00:02:28.293
Closer now to seeing it come to pass than you've ever
00:02:28.360 --> 00:02:29.728
To pass than you've ever been."
00:02:29.795 --> 00:02:30.762
Been." you're coming into
00:02:30.829 --> 00:02:32.397
You're coming into a high time.
00:02:32.464 --> 00:02:33.432
A high time. high time is when things
00:02:33.498 --> 00:02:35.200
High time is when things suddenly change in your
00:02:35.267 --> 00:02:36.635
Suddenly change in your favor.
00:02:36.702 --> 00:02:37.836
Favor. high time is when blessings
00:02:37.903 --> 00:02:39.871
High time is when blessings chase you down.
00:02:39.938 --> 00:02:40.505
Chase you down. you don't have to go after
00:02:40.572 --> 00:02:42.307
You don't have to go after them, they come after you.
00:02:42.374 --> 00:02:44.543
Them, they come after you. high time is when your
00:02:44.610 --> 00:02:46.011
High time is when your healing shows up.
00:02:46.078 --> 00:02:47.579
Healing shows up. you meet the right person,
00:02:47.646 --> 00:02:49.014
You meet the right person, you break the addiction.
00:02:49.081 --> 00:02:50.382
You break the addiction. god makes things happen that
00:02:50.449 --> 00:02:52.451
God makes things happen that you couldn't make happen.
00:02:52.517 --> 00:02:54.386
You couldn't make happen. now, if you're going to see
00:02:54.453 --> 00:02:55.487
Now, if you're going to see this high time, there's
00:02:55.554 --> 00:02:57.089
This high time, there's something you have to do:
00:02:57.155 --> 00:02:58.690
Something you have to do: wake up out of your sleep.
00:02:58.757 --> 00:03:01.293
Wake up out of your sleep. that means get your passion
00:03:01.360 --> 00:03:02.961
That means get your passion back, start believing again,
00:03:03.028 --> 00:03:05.564
Back, start believing again, start expecting things to
00:03:05.631 --> 00:03:06.999
Start expecting things to change, start talking like
00:03:07.065 --> 00:03:09.201
Change, start talking like it's going to happen.
00:03:09.268 --> 00:03:10.836
It's going to happen. you can't sleep through your
00:03:10.902 --> 00:03:12.304
You can't sleep through your high time and see god's
00:03:12.371 --> 00:03:14.273
High time and see god's favor.
00:03:14.339 --> 00:03:15.374
Favor. you can't be complacent and
00:03:15.440 --> 00:03:17.309
You can't be complacent and step into the fullness of
00:03:17.376 --> 00:03:19.011
Step into the fullness of what god has in store.
00:03:19.077 --> 00:03:20.979
What god has in store. the amplified version says
00:03:21.046 --> 00:03:22.648
The amplified version says it's a critical time.
00:03:22.714 --> 00:03:24.616
It's a critical time. it stresses the importance of
00:03:24.683 --> 00:03:26.718
It stresses the importance of the season.
00:03:26.785 --> 00:03:28.253
The season. it's saying don't take it
00:03:28.320 --> 00:03:29.888
It's saying don't take it lightly.
00:03:29.955 --> 00:03:30.922
Lightly. don't dismiss it and say,
00:03:30.989 --> 00:03:31.923
Don't dismiss it and say, "ah, this isn't for me
00:03:31.990 --> 00:03:32.958
"ah, this isn't for me today."
00:03:33.025 --> 00:03:33.959
Today." if you don't stir your faith
00:03:34.026 --> 00:03:35.560
If you don't stir your faith up, you can miss the new
00:03:35.627 --> 00:03:37.362
Up, you can miss the new things god wants to do.
00:03:37.429 --> 00:03:38.664
Things god wants to do. and what you're believing for
00:03:38.730 --> 00:03:41.500
And what you're believing for is not way off in the
00:03:41.566 --> 00:03:42.901
Is not way off in the distance, it's close, it's at
00:03:42.968 --> 00:03:45.304
Distance, it's close, it's at hand.
00:03:45.370 --> 00:03:46.038
Hand. it could happen today.
00:03:46.104 --> 00:03:47.773
It could happen today. live with this expectancy.
00:03:47.839 --> 00:03:50.475
Live with this expectancy. there has to be an
00:03:50.542 --> 00:03:51.343
There has to be an anticipation in your spirit
00:03:51.410 --> 00:03:53.445
Anticipation in your spirit that today could be my day.
00:03:53.512 --> 00:03:56.248
Not one day in the sweet by
00:03:56.415 --> 00:03:58.650
Not one day in the sweet by and by, i'll be blessed.
00:03:58.717 --> 00:04:00.619
And by, i'll be blessed. one day, i'll be free from
00:04:00.686 --> 00:04:01.887
One day, i'll be free from these problems.
00:04:01.953 --> 00:04:03.088
These problems. one day, joel, i'll walk on
00:04:03.155 --> 00:04:04.489
One day, joel, i'll walk on streets of gold, won't have
00:04:04.556 --> 00:04:05.891
Streets of gold, won't have to deal with these bills.
00:04:05.957 --> 00:04:07.392
To deal with these bills. the problem with the one day
00:04:07.459 --> 00:04:08.860
The problem with the one day mentality is you will miss
00:04:08.927 --> 00:04:10.929
Mentality is you will miss what god wants to do today.
00:04:10.996 --> 00:04:13.432
What god wants to do today. we're not going to need favor
00:04:13.498 --> 00:04:14.900
We're not going to need favor in the sweet by and by.
00:04:14.966 --> 00:04:16.835
In the sweet by and by. when we get to heaven, we're
00:04:16.902 --> 00:04:18.070
When we get to heaven, we're not going to have any
00:04:18.136 --> 00:04:18.870
Not going to have any problems.
00:04:18.937 --> 00:04:20.138
Problems. god wants to give you favor
00:04:20.205 --> 00:04:21.773
God wants to give you favor right here, right now.
00:04:21.840 --> 00:04:23.809
Right here, right now. and the prophet joel said,
00:04:23.875 --> 00:04:26.244
And the prophet joel said, "wake up the mighty men, wake
00:04:26.311 --> 00:04:28.947
"wake up the mighty men, wake up the mighty women."
00:04:29.014 --> 00:04:31.249
Up the mighty women." my message today is very
00:04:31.316 --> 00:04:32.451
My message today is very simple.
00:04:32.517 --> 00:04:33.118
Simple. wake up, get your passion
00:04:33.185 --> 00:04:34.920
Wake up, get your passion back, get your hopes up.
00:04:34.986 --> 00:04:36.922
Back, get your hopes up. you are closer to meeting the
00:04:36.988 --> 00:04:38.757
You are closer to meeting the right person than you've ever
00:04:38.824 --> 00:04:40.459
Right person than you've ever been.
00:04:40.525 --> 00:04:41.760
Been. you are closer to seeing your
00:04:41.827 --> 00:04:43.428
You are closer to seeing your health turn around than
00:04:43.495 --> 00:04:44.896
Health turn around than you've ever been.
00:04:44.963 --> 00:04:46.398
You've ever been. you are closer to going to
00:04:46.465 --> 00:04:47.999
You are closer to going to new levels, to seeing
00:04:48.066 --> 00:04:49.735
New levels, to seeing explosive blessings than
00:04:49.801 --> 00:04:51.636
Explosive blessings than you've ever been.
00:04:51.703 --> 00:04:52.971
You've ever been. my question is, are you
00:04:53.038 --> 00:04:54.740
My question is, are you awake?
00:04:54.806 --> 00:04:55.941
Awake? do you recognize this is your
00:04:56.007 --> 00:04:58.009
Do you recognize this is your high time?
00:04:58.076 --> 00:04:58.777
High time? the opposite of high time, of
00:04:58.844 --> 00:05:01.113
The opposite of high time, of course, is low time.
00:05:01.179 --> 00:05:02.414
Course, is low time. and some people live with a
00:05:02.481 --> 00:05:04.449
And some people live with a low time mentality.
00:05:04.516 --> 00:05:06.651
Low time mentality. "i never get any good breaks.
00:05:06.718 --> 00:05:08.086
"i never get any good breaks. my boss doesn't like me.
00:05:08.153 --> 00:05:10.355
My boss doesn't like me. i'll never get back in shape.
00:05:10.422 --> 00:05:11.790

00:10:15.894 --> 00:10:17.962
Whole life, but that is not your destiny.
00:10:18.029 --> 00:10:19.564
Your destiny. don't be complacent and learn
00:10:19.631 --> 00:10:21.599
Don't be complacent and learn to live with it.
00:10:21.666 --> 00:10:22.967
To live with it. if you're depressed, don't go
00:10:23.034 --> 00:10:24.836
If you're depressed, don't go find depressed friends.
00:10:24.903 --> 00:10:26.738
Find depressed friends. don't get around people that
00:10:26.805 --> 00:10:28.273
Don't get around people that enable your dysfunction.
00:10:28.339 --> 00:10:30.241
Enable your dysfunction. get around some happy
00:10:30.308 --> 00:10:31.342
Get around some happy friends.
00:10:31.409 --> 00:10:32.210
Friends. get around people that lift
00:10:32.277 --> 00:10:33.511
Get around people that lift your spirit, not people that
00:10:33.578 --> 00:10:35.346
Your spirit, not people that make you more depressed.
00:10:35.413 --> 00:10:37.048
Make you more depressed. if you're struggling with an
00:10:37.115 --> 00:10:38.183
If you're struggling with an addiction, don't hang around
00:10:38.249 --> 00:10:40.185
Addiction, don't hang around people that are addicted.
00:10:40.251 --> 00:10:42.253
People that are addicted. it's hard enough to stay
00:10:42.320 --> 00:10:43.421
It's hard enough to stay strong on your own.
00:10:43.488 --> 00:10:44.889
Strong on your own. you don't need them pulling
00:10:44.956 --> 00:10:46.124
You don't need them pulling you down.
00:10:46.191 --> 00:10:47.358
You down. when you get better, when
00:10:47.425 --> 00:10:48.460
When you get better, when you're free, you can go back
00:10:48.526 --> 00:10:50.195
You're free, you can go back and help them, but right now,
00:10:50.261 --> 00:10:52.063
And help them, but right now, you need to stay out of that
00:10:52.130 --> 00:10:53.665
You need to stay out of that dysfunction.
00:10:53.732 --> 00:10:55.166
Dysfunction. get around people that have
00:10:55.233 --> 00:10:57.602
Get around people that have what you want, not where
00:10:57.669 --> 00:10:59.904
What you want, not where being addicted is the norm,
00:10:59.971 --> 00:11:01.940
Being addicted is the norm, but where being free is the
00:11:02.006 --> 00:11:03.274
But where being free is the norm, where being happy is
00:11:03.341 --> 00:11:05.076
Norm, where being happy is the norm, where being
00:11:05.143 --> 00:11:06.144
The norm, where being victorious is the norm.
00:11:06.211 --> 00:11:08.780
Victorious is the norm. this man had 38 chances to
00:11:08.847 --> 00:11:10.849
This man had 38 chances to get well.
00:11:10.915 --> 00:11:12.083
Get well. thirty-eight times, once a
00:11:12.150 --> 00:11:13.451
Thirty-eight times, once a year the angel stirred the
00:11:13.518 --> 00:11:14.819
Year the angel stirred the waters, but somebody always
00:11:14.886 --> 00:11:16.721
Waters, but somebody always got in in front of him.
00:11:16.788 --> 00:11:19.057
Got in in front of him. and i'm sure they knew when
00:11:19.124 --> 00:11:21.126
And i'm sure they knew when the angel normally came.
00:11:21.192 --> 00:11:23.528
The angel normally came. maybe it was in the spring.
00:11:23.595 --> 00:11:25.563
Maybe it was in the spring. they would especially be on
00:11:25.630 --> 00:11:26.798
They would especially be on guard, "this is our time."
00:11:26.865 --> 00:11:27.999
Guard, "this is our time." it could happen any moment.
00:11:28.066 --> 00:11:29.701
It could happen any moment. when it didn't happen, they
00:11:29.768 --> 00:11:31.269
When it didn't happen, they would sit there month after
00:11:31.336 --> 00:11:32.704
Would sit there month after month, no expectancy, no
00:11:32.771 --> 00:11:34.973
Month, no expectancy, no passion.
00:11:35.039 --> 00:11:35.940
Passion. they had to wait a whole year
00:11:36.007 --> 00:11:38.143
They had to wait a whole year just to have another chance.
00:11:38.209 --> 00:11:40.512
Just to have another chance. but one day, jesus showed up
00:11:40.578 --> 00:11:42.614
But one day, jesus showed up at the pool.
00:11:42.680 --> 00:11:44.015
At the pool. i can imagine it was during
00:11:44.082 --> 00:11:45.850
I can imagine it was during the fall.
00:11:45.917 --> 00:11:47.118
The fall. there were hundreds of sick
00:11:47.185 --> 00:11:48.453
There were hundreds of sick people all around, but he
00:11:48.520 --> 00:11:50.321
People all around, but he walked straight to this
00:11:50.388 --> 00:11:51.322
Walked straight to this crippled man and said, "do
00:11:51.389 --> 00:11:53.324
Crippled man and said, "do you want to get well?"
00:11:53.391 --> 00:11:55.360
You want to get well?" that seemed like an odd
00:11:55.426 --> 00:11:56.327
That seemed like an odd question.
00:11:56.394 --> 00:11:57.328
Question. he came to the pool to get
00:11:57.395 --> 00:11:59.197
He came to the pool to get well, but i believe jesus
00:11:59.264 --> 00:12:01.399
Well, but i believe jesus could see that he had been
00:12:01.466 --> 00:12:03.268
Could see that he had been there so long, he had gone to
00:12:03.334 --> 00:12:05.303
There so long, he had gone to sleep.
00:12:05.370 --> 00:12:06.504
Sleep. he wasn't expecting anything
00:12:06.571 --> 00:12:08.173
He wasn't expecting anything to change.
00:12:08.239 --> 00:12:09.507
To change. early on, the first few
00:12:09.574 --> 00:12:11.242
Early on, the first few years, he was excited.
00:12:11.309 --> 00:12:13.378
Years, he was excited. he knew he would be next, but
00:12:13.444 --> 00:12:15.480
He knew he would be next, but it didn't happen the 1st
00:12:15.547 --> 00:12:16.614
It didn't happen the 1st year, the 5th year, or the
00:12:16.681 --> 00:12:18.616
Year, the 5th year, or the 20th year.
00:12:18.683 --> 00:12:20.251
20th year. now, instead of answering
00:12:20.318 --> 00:12:21.753
Now, instead of answering jesus with a simple, "yes, i
00:12:21.820 --> 00:12:24.556
Jesus with a simple, "yes, i want to get well," he said,
00:12:24.622 --> 00:12:26.758
Want to get well," he said, "sir, i have nobody to help
00:12:26.825 --> 00:12:28.326
"sir, i have nobody to help me.
00:12:28.393 --> 00:12:29.127
Me. when the angel comes,
00:12:29.194 --> 00:12:30.094
When the angel comes, somebody always gets in front
00:12:30.161 --> 00:12:31.663
Somebody always gets in front of me."
00:12:31.729 --> 00:12:32.864
Of me." jesus didn't say, "i
00:12:32.931 --> 00:12:33.965
Jesus didn't say, "i understand, i feel sorry for
00:12:34.032 --> 00:12:36.467
Understand, i feel sorry for you.
00:12:36.534 --> 00:12:37.135
You. you've had a rough life."
00:12:37.202 --> 00:12:38.169
You've had a rough life." jesus said to him, "get up,
00:12:38.236 --> 00:12:40.572
Pick up your bed, and walk."
00:12:40.738 --> 00:12:43.341
Pick up your bed, and walk." the man was confused.
00:12:43.408 --> 00:12:45.343
The man was confused. he thought, "what do you
00:12:45.410 --> 00:12:46.744
He thought, "what do you mean?
00:12:46.811 --> 00:12:47.612
Mean? i can't walk.
00:12:47.679 --> 00:12:48.947
I can't walk. can't you see i'm crippled?
00:12:49.013 --> 00:12:51.316
Can't you see i'm crippled? the angel didn't come."
00:12:51.382 --> 00:12:53.117
The angel didn't come." it wasn't the right season.
00:12:53.184 --> 00:12:55.119
It wasn't the right season. it wasn't the normal way.
00:12:55.186 --> 00:12:57.322
It wasn't the normal way. he had seen 38 people healed
00:12:57.388 --> 00:12:59.557
He had seen 38 people healed before.
00:12:59.624 --> 00:13:00.592
Before. he knew how it happened.
00:13:00.658 --> 00:13:01.993
He knew how it happened. he was an expert.
00:13:02.060 --> 00:13:03.127
He was an expert. in the spring, the angel
00:13:03.194 --> 00:13:04.462
In the spring, the angel showed up, that's when you
00:13:04.529 --> 00:13:05.496
Showed up, that's when you got well.
00:13:05.563 --> 00:13:06.998
Got well. now, he was at a crossroads.
00:13:07.065 --> 00:13:09.267
Now, he was at a crossroads. was he going to let
00:13:09.334 --> 00:13:10.201
Was he going to let tradition, how it happened in
00:13:10.268 --> 00:13:12.470
Tradition, how it happened in the past, what he was
00:13:12.537 --> 00:13:13.972
The past, what he was expecting talk him out of it?
00:13:14.038 --> 00:13:16.341
Expecting talk him out of it? or was he going to say, "if
00:13:16.407 --> 00:13:18.243
Or was he going to say, "if you say i can get up, i'm
00:13:18.309 --> 00:13:20.011
You say i can get up, i'm going to get up"?
00:13:20.078 --> 00:13:21.446
Going to get up"? all of the sudden, something
00:13:21.512 --> 00:13:23.081
All of the sudden, something came alive on the inside.
00:13:23.147 --> 00:13:25.683
Came alive on the inside. what happened?
00:13:25.750 --> 00:13:26.651
What happened? he woke up.
00:13:26.718 --> 00:13:28.319
He woke up. "well, joel, i've had this
00:13:28.386 --> 00:13:29.287
"well, joel, i've had this addiction since high school.
00:13:29.354 --> 00:13:31.356
Addiction since high school. i've been praying for my
00:13:31.422 --> 00:13:32.390
I've been praying for my dreams to come to pass for
00:13:32.457 --> 00:13:34.158
Dreams to come to pass for years, nothing's happened.
00:13:34.225 --> 00:13:35.994
Years, nothing's happened. i've been believing for this
00:13:36.060 --> 00:13:37.128
I've been believing for this child to get back on course.
00:13:37.195 --> 00:13:38.663
Child to get back on course. i don't think it's possible
00:13:38.730 --> 00:13:39.898
I don't think it's possible anymore."
00:13:39.964 --> 00:13:40.999
Anymore." i'm here to wake you up.
00:13:41.065 --> 00:13:43.134
I'm here to wake you up. even if it's been 38 years,
00:13:43.201 --> 00:13:45.536
Even if it's been 38 years, it is not too late.
00:13:45.603 --> 00:13:47.405
It is not too late. in the scripture, sarah had a
00:13:47.472 --> 00:13:49.507
In the scripture, sarah had a baby when she was 80 years
00:13:49.574 --> 00:13:51.809
Baby when she was 80 years old.
00:13:51.876 --> 00:13:52.977
Old. what god put in your heart,
00:13:53.044 --> 00:13:54.712
What god put in your heart, don't talk yourself out of
00:13:54.779 --> 00:13:56.381
Don't talk yourself out of it.
00:13:56.447 --> 00:13:57.081
It. you are coming in to your
00:13:57.148 --> 00:13:58.182
You are coming in to your high time.
00:13:58.249 --> 00:13:59.918
High time. you're about to see god do
00:13:59.984 --> 00:14:01.920
You're about to see god do unusual things.
00:14:01.986 --> 00:14:04.255
Unusual things. you weren't the most
00:14:04.322 --> 00:14:05.189
You weren't the most qualified, but they skipped
00:14:05.256 --> 00:14:06.858
Qualified, but they skipped over others and chose you.
00:14:06.925 --> 00:14:08.426
Over others and chose you. you didn't see it coming.
00:14:08.493 --> 00:14:10.728
You didn't see it coming. it wasn't the normal time to
00:14:10.795 --> 00:14:12.230
It wasn't the normal time to be promoted, but god showed
00:14:12.297 --> 00:14:14.132
Be promoted, but god showed up in the, quote, wrong
00:14:14.198 --> 00:14:15.833
Up in the, quote, wrong season.
00:14:15.900 --> 00:14:17.235
Season. the medical reports said you
00:14:17.302 --> 00:14:18.503
The medical reports said you wouldn't get well, just learn
00:14:18.569 --> 00:14:20.204
Wouldn't get well, just learn to live with it, but you came
00:14:20.271 --> 00:14:21.906
To live with it, but you came in to your high time.
00:14:21.973 --> 00:14:23.675
In to your high time. god did what medicine
00:14:23.741 --> 00:14:25.043
God did what medicine couldn't do.
00:14:25.109 --> 00:14:26.044
Couldn't do. he healed you out of season.
00:14:26.110 --> 00:14:28.546
He healed you out of season. he promoted you out of
00:14:28.613 --> 00:14:29.647
He promoted you out of season.
00:14:29.714 --> 00:14:30.615
Season. your business takes off out
00:14:30.682 --> 00:14:31.950
Your business takes off out of season.
00:14:32.016 --> 00:14:32.650
Of season. i talked to a lady that works
00:14:32.717 --> 00:14:35.119
I talked to a lady that works in sales.
00:14:35.186 --> 00:14:36.287
In sales. last year, everyone in her
00:14:36.354 --> 00:14:37.922
Last year, everyone in her company had a down year, over
00:14:37.989 --> 00:14:39.958
Company had a down year, over 100 sales people.
00:14:40.024 --> 00:14:41.859
100 sales people. but she said, "joel, it was
00:14:41.926 --> 00:14:43.528
But she said, "joel, it was like clients were looking for
00:14:43.594 --> 00:14:45.163
Like clients were looking for me.
00:14:45.229 --> 00:14:46.097
Me. i didn't have to go after new
00:14:46.164 --> 00:14:47.498
I didn't have to go after new business.
00:14:47.565 --> 00:14:48.299
Business. every time i turned around,
00:14:48.366 --> 00:14:50.001
Every time i turned around, someone was calling me."
00:14:50.068 --> 00:14:51.803
Someone was calling me." people she didn't even know
00:14:51.869 --> 00:14:53.805
People she didn't even know were recommending her,
00:14:53.871 --> 00:14:55.239
Were recommending her, sending business her way.
00:14:55.306 --> 00:14:57.041
Sending business her way. she ended up 50% higher than
00:14:57.108 --> 00:15:00.044
She ended up 50% higher than her previous year.
00:15:00.111 --> 00:15:01.713
Her previous year. her coworkers couldn't
00:15:01.779 --> 00:15:03.281
Her coworkers couldn't understand how, in a down
00:15:03.348 --> 00:15:05.550
Understand how, in a down year, she could be doing so
00:15:05.616 --> 00:15:07.352
Year, she could be doing so great.
00:15:07.418 --> 00:15:08.386
Great. what was that?
00:15:08.453 --> 00:15:09.420
What was that? god showing up in the wrong
00:15:09.487 --> 00:15:10.955
God showing up in the wrong season, when she wasn't
00:15:11.022 --> 00:15:12.490
Season, when she wasn't expecting it.
00:15:12.557 --> 00:15:13.491
Expecting it. god loves to do unusual
00:15:13.558 --> 00:15:15.593
God loves to do unusual things.
00:15:15.660 --> 00:15:16.794
Things. when you think you should be
00:15:16.861 --> 00:15:18.062
When you think you should be asleep, don't expect much,
00:15:18.129 --> 00:15:19.998
Asleep, don't expect much, just make it through this
00:15:20.064 --> 00:15:20.999
Just make it through this year, no, get ready, god is
00:15:21.065 --> 00:15:22.967
Year, no, get ready, god is about to surprise you.
00:15:23.034 --> 00:15:24.569
About to surprise you. he's going to make things
00:15:24.635 --> 00:15:25.803
He's going to make things happen that you couldn't make
00:15:25.870 --> 00:15:27.405
Happen that you couldn't make happen out of season, out of
00:15:27.472 --> 00:15:30.241
Happen out of season, out of time, not the traditional
00:15:30.308 --> 00:15:32.343
Time, not the traditional way, not ordinary.
00:15:32.410 --> 00:15:33.945
Way, not ordinary. it's going to happen sooner
00:15:34.012 --> 00:15:35.513
It's going to happen sooner than you think.
00:15:35.580 --> 00:15:37.248
Than you think. 2 kings chapter 7, there was
00:15:37.315 --> 00:15:39.117
2 kings chapter 7, there was a great famine in the city of
00:15:39.183 --> 00:15:40.985
A great famine in the city of samaria.
00:15:41.052 --> 00:15:42.120
Samaria. food was so scarce that it
00:15:42.186 --> 00:15:44.055
Food was so scarce that it cost 100 times what it
00:15:44.122 --> 00:15:45.857
Cost 100 times what it normally did.
00:15:45.923 --> 00:15:47.258
Normally did. to make matters worse, an
00:15:47.325 --> 00:15:48.860
To make matters worse, an army had surrounded the city
00:15:48.926 --> 00:15:51.129
Army had surrounded the city and cut off the food supply.
00:15:51.195 --> 00:15:53.498
And cut off the food supply. the prophet elisha showed up
00:15:53.564 --> 00:15:55.400
The prophet elisha showed up and said to the israelites,
00:15:55.466 --> 00:15:57.368
And said to the israelites, "by this time tomorrow, there
00:15:57.435 --> 00:15:59.637
"by this time tomorrow, there will be so much food, you'll
00:15:59.704 --> 00:16:01.806
Will be so much food, you'll be able to buy a loaf of
00:16:01.873 --> 00:16:03.241
Be able to buy a loaf of bread for 1 penny and
00:16:03.307 --> 00:16:05.643
Bread for 1 penny and 10 quarts of flour all for
00:16:05.710 --> 00:16:07.712
10 quarts of flour all for 1 cent."
00:16:07.779 --> 00:16:09.113
1 cent." the people thought, "come on,
00:16:09.180 --> 00:16:10.081
The people thought, "come on, elisha, we're starving, we're
00:16:10.148 --> 00:16:12.717
Elisha, we're starving, we're surrounded by an army, and
00:16:12.784 --> 00:16:14.652
Surrounded by an army, and you're telling us this is our
00:16:14.719 --> 00:16:16.421
You're telling us this is our high time?
00:16:16.487 --> 00:16:17.822
High time? you're saying we're close to
00:16:17.889 --> 00:16:19.123
You're saying we're close to our victory?
00:16:19.190 --> 00:16:20.458
Our victory? can't you see it's the wrong
00:16:20.525 --> 00:16:22.060
Can't you see it's the wrong circumstances, wrong time,
00:16:22.126 --> 00:16:24.929
Circumstances, wrong time, all the odds are against us?"
00:16:24.996 --> 00:16:27.198
All the odds are against us?" there was no reason in the
00:16:27.265 --> 00:16:28.566
There was no reason in the natural for them to believe
00:16:28.633 --> 00:16:30.435
Natural for them to believe what elisha said.
00:16:30.501 --> 00:16:32.503
What elisha said. may be the same thing for
00:16:32.570 --> 00:16:33.571
May be the same thing for you.
00:16:33.638 --> 00:16:34.439
You. "joel, you say it's my high
00:16:34.505 --> 00:16:35.807
"joel, you say it's my high time.
00:16:35.873 --> 00:16:36.674
Time. if you saw my bank account,
00:16:36.741 --> 00:16:38.409
If you saw my bank account, you'd say it's my low time.
00:16:38.476 --> 00:16:40.344
You'd say it's my low time. if you saw my medical report,
00:16:40.411 --> 00:16:42.580
If you saw my medical report, if you saw how these people
00:16:42.647 --> 00:16:44.115
If you saw how these people were treating me at work, you
00:16:44.182 --> 00:16:45.817
Were treating me at work, you wouldn't tell me i'm close to
00:16:45.883 --> 00:16:46.951
Wouldn't tell me i'm close to my victory.
00:16:47.018 --> 00:16:48.052
My victory. you wouldn't say get my hopes
00:16:48.119 --> 00:16:49.554
You wouldn't say get my hopes up."
00:16:49.620 --> 00:16:50.221
Up." that's just how these people
00:16:50.288 --> 00:16:51.355
That's just how these people felt.
00:16:51.422 --> 00:16:52.256
Felt. but just because you don't
00:16:52.323 --> 00:16:53.658
But just because you don't see a way doesn't mean that
00:16:53.724 --> 00:16:55.493
See a way doesn't mean that god doesn't have a way.
00:16:55.560 --> 00:16:57.562
God doesn't have a way. it's easy to be discouraged,
00:16:57.628 --> 00:16:59.163
It's easy to be discouraged, to be negative, let
00:16:59.230 --> 00:17:00.631
To be negative, let circumstances talk you out of
00:17:00.698 --> 00:17:02.333
Circumstances talk you out of it.
00:17:02.400 --> 00:17:03.000
It. that doesn't take any faith.
00:17:03.067 --> 00:17:04.669
That doesn't take any faith. but when it seems impossible,
00:17:04.735 --> 00:17:07.004
But when it seems impossible, when you don't have the
00:17:07.071 --> 00:17:07.705
When you don't have the connections to accomplish
00:17:07.772 --> 00:17:09.240
Connections to accomplish your dreams, when the medical
00:17:09.307 --> 00:17:10.842
Your dreams, when the medical report isn't good, that's
00:17:10.908 --> 00:17:12.710
Report isn't good, that's when you have to dig your
00:17:12.777 --> 00:17:13.744
When you have to dig your heels in and say, "all the
00:17:13.811 --> 00:17:15.813
Heels in and say, "all the odds may be against me, but
00:17:15.880 --> 00:17:17.882
Odds may be against me, but god, i know you are for me.
00:17:17.949 --> 00:17:20.017
God, i know you are for me. i believe things are changing
00:17:20.084 --> 00:17:21.686
I believe things are changing in my favor."
00:17:21.752 --> 00:17:23.688
There were four lepers
00:17:23.855 --> 00:17:24.889
There were four lepers sitting outside the city
00:17:24.956 --> 00:17:26.524
Sitting outside the city gates of samaria.
00:17:26.591 --> 00:17:27.425
Gates of samaria. they said to each other, "we
00:17:27.492 --> 00:17:29.527
They said to each other, "we have nothing to lose.
00:17:29.594 --> 00:17:30.928
Have nothing to lose. we're going to die anyway.
00:17:30.995 --> 00:17:32.597
We're going to die anyway. let's go down to the enemy's
00:17:32.663 --> 00:17:33.998
Let's go down to the enemy's camp and see what they're
00:17:34.065 --> 00:17:35.433
Camp and see what they're doing."
00:17:35.500 --> 00:17:36.634
Doing." as they walked toward the
00:17:36.701 --> 00:17:38.202
As they walked toward the enemy, god multiplied the
00:17:38.269 --> 00:17:40.471
Enemy, god multiplied the sound of their footsteps.
00:17:40.538 --> 00:17:42.673
Sound of their footsteps. it sounded like a huge army
00:17:42.740 --> 00:17:44.909
It sounded like a huge army was approaching.
00:17:44.976 --> 00:17:46.344
Was approaching. the enemy panicked and took
00:17:46.410 --> 00:17:48.146
The enemy panicked and took off running for their lives.
00:17:48.212 --> 00:17:50.214
Off running for their lives. they left all their food, all
00:17:50.281 --> 00:17:51.983
They left all their food, all their supplies, all their
00:17:52.049 --> 00:17:53.284
Their supplies, all their equipment.
00:17:53.351 --> 00:17:53.985
Equipment. the lepers went back and told
00:17:54.051 --> 00:17:56.254
The lepers went back and told the israelites what had
00:17:56.320 --> 00:17:57.288
The israelites what had happened.
00:17:57.355 --> 00:17:58.256
Happened. just like elisha said, there
00:17:58.322 --> 00:18:00.291
Just like elisha said, there were so much food, you could
00:18:00.358 --> 00:18:02.059
Were so much food, you could buy a loaf of bread for one
00:18:02.126 --> 00:18:03.728
Buy a loaf of bread for one penny.
00:18:03.794 --> 00:18:04.795
Penny. it all happened 24 hours
00:18:04.862 --> 00:18:07.665
It all happened 24 hours after elisha said it.
00:18:07.732 --> 00:18:09.734
After elisha said it. god told them, "by this time
00:18:09.800 --> 00:18:11.969
God told them, "by this time tomorrow."
00:18:12.036 --> 00:18:13.037
Tomorrow." seemed impossible, no way in
00:18:13.104 --> 00:18:15.273
Seemed impossible, no way in the natural, but we serve a
00:18:15.339 --> 00:18:17.508
The natural, but we serve a supernatural god.
00:18:17.575 --> 00:18:19.410
Supernatural god. he has some by this time
00:18:19.477 --> 00:18:21.646
He has some by this time tomorrows for you.
00:18:21.712 --> 00:18:23.714
Tomorrows for you. when it looks the most
00:18:23.781 --> 00:18:25.416
When it looks the most unlikely, get ready for the
00:18:25.483 --> 00:18:27.585
Unlikely, get ready for the most high god to show up and
00:18:27.652 --> 00:18:29.987
Most high god to show up and surprise you.
00:18:30.054 --> 00:18:32.089
Surprise you. and yes, i realize there are
00:18:32.156 --> 00:18:34.125
And yes, i realize there are seasons of waiting, seasons
00:18:34.192 --> 00:18:36.360
Seasons of waiting, seasons of being faithful, doing the
00:18:36.427 --> 00:18:37.628
Of being faithful, doing the right thing when it's hard.
00:18:37.695 --> 00:18:39.463
Right thing when it's hard. but at some point, that
00:18:39.530 --> 00:18:40.731
But at some point, that season of testing is going to
00:18:40.798 --> 00:18:42.800
Season of testing is going to come to an end.
00:18:42.867 --> 00:18:44.602
Come to an end. and like the israelites,
00:18:44.669 --> 00:18:45.836
And like the israelites, you may feel like you're in
00:18:45.903 --> 00:18:46.771
You may feel like you're in a famine, surrounded
00:18:46.837 --> 00:18:48.539
A famine, surrounded by difficulties.
00:18:48.606 --> 00:18:49.540
By difficulties. if you ever wanted to doubt,
00:18:49.607 --> 00:18:51.509
If you ever wanted to doubt, be discouraged, talk yourself
00:18:51.576 --> 00:18:52.977
Be discouraged, talk yourself out of it, it would be now.
00:18:53.044 --> 00:18:55.046
Out of it, it would be now. my challenge is stay awake,
00:18:55.112 --> 00:18:57.815
My challenge is stay awake, don't go to sleep.
00:18:57.882 --> 00:18:59.050
Don't go to sleep. god has some by this time
00:18:59.116 --> 00:19:00.851
God has some by this time tomorrows for you.
00:19:00.918 --> 00:19:02.253
Tomorrows for you. he can do it suddenly,
00:19:02.320 --> 00:19:03.854
He can do it suddenly, unexpectedly, you didn't see
00:19:03.921 --> 00:19:05.556
Unexpectedly, you didn't see it coming.
00:19:05.623 --> 00:19:07.625
It coming. i received an email from a
00:19:07.692 --> 00:19:09.026
I received an email from a young lady that just
00:19:09.093 --> 00:19:10.428
Young lady that just graduated from college.
00:19:10.494 --> 00:19:11.729
Graduated from college. and she was very grateful to
00:19:11.796 --> 00:19:13.464
And she was very grateful to have her degree, but she was
00:19:13.531 --> 00:19:15.366
Have her degree, but she was thousands of dollars in debt.
00:19:15.433 --> 00:19:17.902
Thousands of dollars in debt. it looked like she would be
00:19:17.969 --> 00:19:18.936
It looked like she would be paying on that for the next
00:19:19.003 --> 00:19:20.304
Paying on that for the next 20 years.
00:19:20.371 --> 00:19:21.706
20 years. but recently, the college
00:19:21.772 --> 00:19:23.541
But recently, the college called and informed her that
00:19:23.608 --> 00:19:25.543
Called and informed her that they were forgiving her debt
00:19:25.610 --> 00:19:27.178
They were forgiving her debt of $54,000.
00:19:27.245 --> 00:19:30.014
Of $54,000. she was so excited, she said,
00:19:30.081 --> 00:19:31.983
She was so excited, she said, "joel, it was like my degree
00:19:32.049 --> 00:19:33.684
"joel, it was like my degree in criminal justice was for
00:19:33.751 --> 00:19:35.286
In criminal justice was for free."
00:19:35.353 --> 00:19:36.687
Free." one night, she went to bed
00:19:36.754 --> 00:19:38.289
One night, she went to bed tens of thousands of dollars
00:19:38.356 --> 00:19:39.757
Tens of thousands of dollars in debt, but by that time
00:19:39.824 --> 00:19:41.492
In debt, but by that time tomorrow, she was debt-free.
00:19:41.559 --> 00:19:43.928
Tomorrow, she was debt-free. she didn't see it coming, she
00:19:43.995 --> 00:19:45.596
She didn't see it coming, she wasn't expecting it.
00:19:45.663 --> 00:19:46.831
Wasn't expecting it. what happened?
00:19:46.897 --> 00:19:47.632
What happened? she came in to her high time.
00:19:47.698 --> 00:19:50.735
She came in to her high time. like her, you are closer to
00:19:50.801 --> 00:19:52.837
Like her, you are closer to your freedom, closer to your
00:19:52.903 --> 00:19:54.939
Your freedom, closer to your abundance, closer to your
00:19:55.006 --> 00:19:56.340
Abundance, closer to your breakthrough than you
00:19:56.407 --> 00:19:57.341
Breakthrough than you realize.
00:19:57.408 --> 00:19:58.409
Realize. it may look like you're going
00:19:58.476 --> 00:20:00.011
It may look like you're going to be in debt for the next
00:20:00.077 --> 00:20:01.445
To be in debt for the next 30 years, but god has some by
00:20:01.512 --> 00:20:03.848
30 years, but god has some by this time tomorrows for you.

This time tomorrows for you. you may think you're going to

You may think you're going to have to struggle with that

Have to struggle with that illness the rest of your
00:20:08.519 --> 00:20:09.654
Illness the rest of your life.
00:20:09.720 --> 00:20:10.354
Life. well, stay awake, you're

Well, stay awake, you're coming in to your high time.
00:20:11.856 --> 00:20:14.859
Coming in to your high time. i talked to a man that had
00:20:14.925 --> 00:20:15.960
I talked to a man that had flown to houston to have
00:20:16.027 --> 00:20:17.828
Flown to houston to have treatment at the medical
00:20:17.895 --> 00:20:19.030
Treatment at the medical center.
00:20:19.096 --> 00:20:19.997
Center. he has a cancerous tumor in
00:20:20.064 --> 00:20:21.599
He has a cancerous tumor in his stomach area, and he was
00:20:21.666 --> 00:20:23.301
His stomach area, and he was told he would need to take
00:20:23.367 --> 00:20:24.535
Told he would need to take treatment for 6 months, and
00:20:24.602 --> 00:20:26.704
Treatment for 6 months, and then they would evaluate to
00:20:26.771 --> 00:20:27.938
Then they would evaluate to see if the tumor was
00:20:28.005 --> 00:20:28.906
See if the tumor was shrinking.
00:20:28.973 --> 00:20:30.007
Shrinking. before he started the new
00:20:30.074 --> 00:20:31.175
Before he started the new treatment, they took x-rays
00:20:31.242 --> 00:20:33.611
Treatment, they took x-rays and noticed that the tumor
00:20:33.678 --> 00:20:35.513
And noticed that the tumor was already shrinking.
00:20:35.579 --> 00:20:37.481
Was already shrinking. surprised, they asked the man
00:20:37.548 --> 00:20:39.550
Surprised, they asked the man if he was doing anything
00:20:39.617 --> 00:20:40.718
If he was doing anything differently.
00:20:40.785 --> 00:20:41.385
Differently. he wasn't.
00:20:41.452 --> 00:20:42.386
He wasn't. they said, "you don't need to
00:20:42.453 --> 00:20:44.188
They said, "you don't need to take the treatment.
00:20:44.255 --> 00:20:45.389
Take the treatment. your body is healing itself.
00:20:45.456 --> 00:20:47.992
Your body is healing itself. let's wait and see what
00:20:48.059 --> 00:20:49.193
Let's wait and see what happens."
00:20:49.260 --> 00:20:50.227
Happens." he flew all that way to have
00:20:50.294 --> 00:20:51.996
He flew all that way to have it, but god had a by this
00:20:52.063 --> 00:20:54.065
It, but god had a by this time tomorrow waiting for
00:20:54.131 --> 00:20:55.566
Time tomorrow waiting for him.

Him. "well, joel, what if doesn't
00:20:57.568 --> 00:20:59.136
"well, joel, what if doesn't happen by tomorrow?"
00:20:59.203 --> 00:21:00.571
Happen by tomorrow?" then you should go to bed
00:21:00.638 --> 00:21:01.605
Then you should go to bed that night saying, "father,
00:21:01.672 --> 00:21:02.973
That night saying, "father, thank you, now i know i'm one
00:21:03.040 --> 00:21:05.376
Thank you, now i know i'm one day closer to seeing it come
00:21:05.443 --> 00:21:06.977
Day closer to seeing it come to pass."
00:21:07.044 --> 00:21:07.645
To pass." keep this expectancy in your
00:21:07.712 --> 00:21:11.482
Keep this expectancy in your spirit.
00:21:11.549 --> 00:21:12.283
Spirit. those things that have held
00:21:12.350 --> 00:21:13.484
Those things that have held you back in the past, that is
00:21:13.551 --> 00:21:15.186
You back in the past, that is not your destiny.
00:21:15.252 --> 00:21:16.921
Not your destiny. that is not how your story
00:21:16.987 --> 00:21:18.422
That is not how your story ends.
00:21:18.489 --> 00:21:19.357
Ends. don't let negative
00:21:19.423 --> 00:21:20.424
Don't let negative circumstances convince you to
00:21:20.491 --> 00:21:22.460
Circumstances convince you to settle where you are.
00:21:22.526 --> 00:21:25.229
Settle where you are. jesus said in john 4, "say
00:21:25.296 --> 00:21:27.298
Jesus said in john 4, "say not there are 4 months and
00:21:27.365 --> 00:21:29.533
Not there are 4 months and then come the harvest.
00:21:29.600 --> 00:21:31.402
Then come the harvest. lift up your eyes.
00:21:31.469 --> 00:21:32.803
Lift up your eyes. look on the fields, for the
00:21:32.870 --> 00:21:34.105
Look on the fields, for the harvest is ready now."
00:21:34.171 --> 00:21:36.574
Harvest is ready now." notice the principle, say
00:21:36.640 --> 00:21:38.008
Notice the principle, say not, "it's 4 months away."
00:21:38.075 --> 00:21:40.444
Not, "it's 4 months away." say not, "it's never going to
00:21:40.511 --> 00:21:41.912
Say not, "it's never going to happen."
00:21:41.979 --> 00:21:43.280
Happen." say not, "maybe one day, i'll

Say not, "maybe one day, i'll get the break i need."
00:21:44.749 --> 00:21:46.884
Get the break i need." if you're always in the
00:21:46.951 --> 00:21:47.718
If you're always in the future, the say nots will
00:21:47.785 --> 00:21:49.754
Future, the say nots will keep you from god's best.
00:21:49.820 --> 00:21:52.356
Keep you from god's best. you have to get rid of
00:21:52.423 --> 00:21:53.524
You have to get rid of the say nots.
00:21:53.591 --> 00:21:54.625
The say nots. now is the time to believe.
00:21:54.692 --> 00:21:57.294
Now is the time to believe. now is the time to release
00:21:57.361 --> 00:21:59.130
Now is the time to release your faith.
00:21:59.196 --> 00:22:00.297
Your faith. what you're hoping for is not
00:22:00.364 --> 00:22:01.732
What you're hoping for is not way off in the distance, it's
00:22:01.799 --> 00:22:03.934
Way off in the distance, it's closer than you think.
00:22:04.001 --> 00:22:06.070
Closer than you think. you're in your high time.
00:22:06.137 --> 00:22:07.538
You're in your high time. isaiah said, "they that wait
00:22:07.605 --> 00:22:09.273
Isaiah said, "they that wait on the lord will renew their
00:22:09.340 --> 00:22:11.375
On the lord will renew their strength.
00:22:11.442 --> 00:22:12.676
Strength. they will mount up with wings
00:22:12.743 --> 00:22:14.245
They will mount up with wings like eagles."
00:22:14.311 --> 00:22:16.447
Like eagles." god has some wings for you.
00:22:16.514 --> 00:22:18.716
God has some wings for you. when this says to wait, it
00:22:18.783 --> 00:22:20.151
When this says to wait, it doesn't mean to be passive,
00:22:20.217 --> 00:22:21.986
Doesn't mean to be passive, sit back, "god, why aren't
00:22:22.052 --> 00:22:23.821
Sit back, "god, why aren't you doing anything?
00:22:23.888 --> 00:22:24.989
You doing anything? nothing's working out."
00:22:25.055 --> 00:22:26.323
Nothing's working out." one translation says,
00:22:26.390 --> 00:22:28.025
One translation says, "wait with expectancy.
00:22:28.092 --> 00:22:30.694
"wait with expectancy. wait knowing that it's on the
00:22:30.761 --> 00:22:32.096
Wait knowing that it's on the way."
00:22:32.163 --> 00:22:33.130
Way." in other words, i'm on the
00:22:33.197 --> 00:22:34.064
In other words, i'm on the ground now, but i know i'm
00:22:34.131 --> 00:22:35.332
Ground now, but i know i'm about to fly.
00:22:35.399 --> 00:22:37.368
I'm close to my healing.
00:22:37.535 --> 00:22:38.769
I'm close to my healing. i'm close to my breakthrough.
00:22:38.836 --> 00:22:40.171
I'm close to my breakthrough. i'm close to the promotion.
00:22:40.237 --> 00:22:42.039
I'm close to the promotion. that's how you get your
00:22:42.106 --> 00:22:42.840
That's how you get your wings, not dragging around
00:22:42.907 --> 00:22:44.442
Wings, not dragging around disappointed, focusing on how
00:22:44.508 --> 00:22:46.444
Disappointed, focusing on how long it's taking, why it's
00:22:46.510 --> 00:22:47.645
Long it's taking, why it's never going to work out.
00:22:47.711 --> 00:22:49.713
Never going to work out. that's a low time mentality.
00:22:49.780 --> 00:22:51.882
That's a low time mentality. you have to come over into
00:22:51.949 --> 00:22:53.184
You have to come over into high time.
00:22:53.250 --> 00:22:54.785
High time. those things you're believing
00:22:54.852 --> 00:22:55.820
Those things you're believing for, you've never been closer
00:22:55.886 --> 00:22:58.456
For, you've never been closer than right now.
00:22:58.522 --> 00:22:59.824
Than right now. it could happen today, it
00:22:59.890 --> 00:23:01.659
It could happen today, it could happen by this time
00:23:01.725 --> 00:23:02.893
Could happen by this time tomorrow.
00:23:02.960 --> 00:23:04.161
Tomorrow. your wings could be developed
00:23:04.228 --> 00:23:05.930
Your wings could be developed this month.

This month. now, get rid of the say nots.
00:23:07.164 --> 00:23:09.700
Now, get rid of the say nots. quit believing those lies
00:23:09.767 --> 00:23:10.901
Quit believing those lies that it's way off
00:23:10.968 --> 00:23:11.836
That it's way off in the distance.
00:23:11.902 --> 00:23:13.003
In the distance. god is saying,
00:23:13.070 --> 00:23:14.171
God is saying, "you're on fire.
00:23:14.238 --> 00:23:15.606
"you're on fire. you're burning.
00:23:15.673 --> 00:23:16.841
You're burning. you're closer than you think.
00:23:16.907 --> 00:23:18.309
You're closer than you think. you're in your high time."
00:23:18.375 --> 00:23:20.711
You're in your high time." i believe and declare because

You're honoring god, you're pumping blood through your
00:23:24.415 --> 00:23:25.549
Pumping blood through your wings.

Wings. you're about to take off,
00:23:26.484 --> 00:23:28.085
You're about to take off, you're about to see what

You're about to see what you're believing for.
00:23:29.186 --> 00:23:30.621
You're believing for. it's going to be better than
00:23:30.688 --> 00:23:31.822
It's going to be better than you thought, and it's going
00:23:31.889 --> 00:23:33.224
You thought, and it's going to happen sooner than you
00:23:33.290 --> 00:23:34.558
To happen sooner than you expected in jesus' name.
00:23:34.625 --> 00:23:37.361
Expected in jesus' name. and if you receive it today,

Opportunity to make jesus the lord of your life.
00:23:44.635 --> 00:23:46.403
The lord of your life. would you pray with me?
00:23:46.470 --> 00:23:47.972
Would you pray with me? just say, "lord jesus,
00:23:48.038 --> 00:23:50.674
Just say, "lord jesus, i repent of my sins.
00:23:50.741 --> 00:23:53.210
I repent of my sins. come into my heart.
00:23:53.277 --> 00:23:55.446
Come into my heart. i make you my lord
00:23:55.513 --> 00:23:56.413
I make you my lord and savior."

Bible-based church, and keep god first place.
00:24:04.555 --> 00:24:06.690
And keep god first place. victoria and i will be right

Victoria and i will be right back to speak a blessing

Back to speak a blessing over you.
00:24:09.126 --> 00:24:10.494
Some of us have been carrying
00:24:10.594 --> 00:24:12.129
Some of us have been carrying the same weight for years:
00:24:12.196 --> 00:24:14.098
The same weight for years: mistakes, regrets,
00:24:14.164 --> 00:24:15.966
Mistakes, regrets, what people said.
00:24:16.033 --> 00:24:17.234
What people said. what if you were never meant to

It's easy in life to wear labels.

In life to wear labels. mistakes we've made
00:24:22.673 --> 00:24:23.641
Mistakes we've made and what people have said.
00:24:23.707 --> 00:24:25.175
And what people have said. disappointments we face.
00:24:25.242 --> 00:24:26.977
Disappointments we face. those labels can diminish
00:24:27.044 --> 00:24:28.612
Those labels can diminish our sense of value
00:24:28.679 --> 00:24:29.647
Our sense of value and cause us to forget
00:24:29.713 --> 00:24:31.015
And cause us to forget who we really are.
