A part of one of our services. i promise you we will make ya

I promise you we will make ya feel right at home.
00:00:23.947 --> 00:00:25.248
Feel right at home. i like to start with something
00:00:25.315 --> 00:00:27.016
I like to start with something funny and one day up in heaven,
00:00:27.083 --> 00:00:29.052
Funny and one day up in heaven, god said to the men, "i want you
00:00:29.119 --> 00:00:31.321
God said to the men, "i want you to form two lines.
00:00:31.387 --> 00:00:32.455
To form two lines. one line is for the men who were
00:00:32.522 --> 00:00:34.757
One line is for the men who were the head of the house.
00:00:34.824 --> 00:00:36.292
The head of the house. the other line is for the men
00:00:36.359 --> 00:00:38.027
The other line is for the men who let the woman be the head
00:00:38.094 --> 00:00:39.863
Who let the woman be the head of the house."
00:00:39.929 --> 00:00:41.231
Of the house." the line where the woman ran
00:00:41.297 --> 00:00:43.032
The line where the woman ran the house was 100 miles long.
00:00:43.099 --> 00:00:44.834
The house was 100 miles long. there was only one man
00:00:44.901 --> 00:00:46.336
There was only one man in the other line.
00:00:46.402 --> 00:00:47.637
In the other line. god "said, men, i'm ashamed
00:00:47.704 --> 00:00:49.105
God "said, men, i'm ashamed of you.
00:00:49.172 --> 00:00:49.706
Of you. i created you to be the head,
00:00:49.772 --> 00:00:51.708
I created you to be the head, but only one man stood
00:00:51.774 --> 00:00:53.143
But only one man stood up to make me proud."
00:00:53.209 --> 00:00:54.811
Up to make me proud." he looked at him and said tell
00:00:54.878 --> 00:00:56.446
He looked at him and said tell them, "son, how did you manage
00:00:56.513 --> 00:00:57.881
Them, "son, how did you manage to be the only one in this
00:00:57.947 --> 00:01:00.016
To be the only one in this line?"
00:01:00.083 --> 00:01:00.483
Line?" the man looked confused he said,
00:01:00.550 --> 00:01:02.118
The man looked confused he said, "i don't know.
00:01:02.185 --> 00:01:03.052
"i don't know. my wife told me to stand here."
00:01:03.119 --> 00:01:06.122
My wife told me to stand here." all right, all the men said
00:01:06.189 --> 00:01:07.590
All right, all the men said amen.
00:01:07.657 --> 00:01:08.124
Amen. but here we go.
00:01:08.191 --> 00:01:09.559
But here we go. this is my bible.
00:01:09.626 --> 00:01:11.094
This is my bible. i am what it says i am.
00:01:11.161 --> 00:01:13.029
I am what it says i am. i have what it says i have.
00:01:13.096 --> 00:01:15.031
I have what it says i have. i can do what it says i can do.
00:01:15.098 --> 00:01:17.233
I can do what it says i can do. today i will be taught the word
00:01:17.300 --> 00:01:19.435
Today i will be taught the word of god.
00:01:19.502 --> 00:01:20.103
Of god. i boldly confess my mind is
00:01:20.170 --> 00:01:22.572
I boldly confess my mind is alert, my heart is receptive, i
00:01:22.639 --> 00:01:25.175
Alert, my heart is receptive, i will never be the same
00:01:25.241 --> 00:01:27.243
Will never be the same in jesus's name.
00:01:27.310 --> 00:01:28.578
In jesus's name. god bless you.
00:01:28.645 --> 00:01:30.947
God bless you. i want to talk to you today
00:01:31.014 --> 00:01:32.749
I want to talk to you today about it's just a matter
00:01:32.815 --> 00:01:34.083
About it's just a matter of time.
00:01:34.150 --> 00:01:35.585
Of time. we all have things that we're
00:01:35.652 --> 00:01:37.520
Believing will change.
00:01:37.854 --> 00:01:38.888
Believing will change. we're fighting an illness.
00:01:38.955 --> 00:01:40.757
We're fighting an illness. we're struggling
00:01:40.823 --> 00:01:41.524
We're struggling with an addiction.
00:01:41.591 --> 00:01:42.725
With an addiction. we're dealing with fear,
00:01:42.792 --> 00:01:45.061
We're dealing with fear, depression, anxiety.
00:01:45.128 --> 00:01:46.262
Depression, anxiety. we know what god promised.
00:01:46.329 --> 00:01:48.198
We know what god promised. that he would restore our
00:01:48.264 --> 00:01:49.465
That he would restore our health.
00:01:49.532 --> 00:01:50.099
Health. that he would free us
00:01:50.166 --> 00:01:51.467
That he would free us from the fear.
00:01:51.534 --> 00:01:52.302
From the fear. we pray, we believe, but we
00:01:52.368 --> 00:01:55.138
We pray, we believe, but we don't see anything improving.
00:01:55.205 --> 00:01:56.973
Don't see anything improving. but what you can't see is
00:01:57.040 --> 00:01:59.309
But what you can't see is the moment you prayed
00:01:59.375 --> 00:02:00.843
The moment you prayed in the unseen realm the source
00:02:00.910 --> 00:02:03.246
In the unseen realm the source of what was coming against you
00:02:03.313 --> 00:02:05.682
Of what was coming against you was cut off.
00:02:05.748 --> 00:02:06.983
Was cut off. the source of the fear,
00:02:07.050 --> 00:02:08.518
The source of the fear, the source of the addiction,
00:02:08.585 --> 00:02:10.086
The source of the addiction, the source of the sickness.
00:02:10.153 --> 00:02:12.255
The source of the sickness. now, you may not see any
00:02:12.322 --> 00:02:14.857
Now, you may not see any manifestation for some time.
00:02:14.924 --> 00:02:16.626
Manifestation for some time. there may not be any evidence
00:02:16.693 --> 00:02:18.861
There may not be any evidence that things have changed.
00:02:18.928 --> 00:02:20.430
That things have changed. and this is when many people get
00:02:20.496 --> 00:02:22.732
And this is when many people get discouraged, but there will
00:02:22.799 --> 00:02:24.133
Discouraged, but there will always be a period of time where
00:02:24.200 --> 00:02:26.603
Always be a period of time where it looks like god didn't do what
00:02:26.669 --> 00:02:29.205
It looks like god didn't do what he promised.
00:02:29.272 --> 00:02:30.573
He promised. the fear still comes.
00:02:30.640 --> 00:02:32.175
The fear still comes. the medical report hasn't
00:02:32.242 --> 00:02:33.610
The medical report hasn't improved.
00:02:33.676 --> 00:02:34.444
Improved. the addiction looks just
00:02:34.510 --> 00:02:36.045
The addiction looks just the same.
00:02:36.112 --> 00:02:36.846
The same. but what's feeding those things
00:02:36.913 --> 00:02:38.915
But what's feeding those things has been cut off.
00:02:38.982 --> 00:02:40.717
Has been cut off. may seem like it's still alive,
00:02:40.783 --> 00:02:42.552
May seem like it's still alive, but the truth is the fear is
00:02:42.619 --> 00:02:44.787
But the truth is the fear is dead.
00:02:44.854 --> 00:02:46.089
Dead. the sickness is dead.
00:02:46.155 --> 00:02:47.457
The sickness is dead. the trouble at work is dead.
00:02:47.523 --> 00:02:49.525
The trouble at work is dead. don't be discouraged because you
00:02:49.592 --> 00:02:51.628
Don't be discouraged because you don't see anything happening.
00:02:51.694 --> 00:02:53.296
Don't see anything happening. it's just a matter of time.
00:02:53.363 --> 00:02:55.898
It's just a matter of time. one day jesus was leaving
00:02:55.965 --> 00:02:57.500
One day jesus was leaving bethany, he saw a fig tree
00:02:57.567 --> 00:02:59.469
Bethany, he saw a fig tree off in the distance.
00:02:59.535 --> 00:03:00.870
Off in the distance. he was hungry so he went
00:03:00.937 --> 00:03:02.572
He was hungry so he went over to get something to eat
00:03:02.639 --> 00:03:04.274
Over to get something to eat but the tree didn't have any
00:03:04.340 --> 00:03:06.442
But the tree didn't have any figs.
00:03:06.509 --> 00:03:07.210
Figs. jesus said to the tree, "may no
00:03:07.277 --> 00:03:09.712
Jesus said to the tree, "may no person ever eat fruit from you
00:03:09.779 --> 00:03:11.881
Person ever eat fruit from you again."
00:03:11.948 --> 00:03:13.182
Again." he cursed the tree but when he
00:03:13.249 --> 00:03:15.618
He cursed the tree but when he said it nothing on the outside
00:03:15.685 --> 00:03:17.754
Said it nothing on the outside looked any different.
00:03:17.820 --> 00:03:19.255
Looked any different. the tree was still just as full
00:03:19.322 --> 00:03:21.691
The tree was still just as full and healthy as before.
00:03:21.758 --> 00:03:23.092
And healthy as before. i can hear the disciples begin
00:03:23.159 --> 00:03:25.528
I can hear the disciples begin to whisper, "what happened?"
00:03:25.595 --> 00:03:27.163
To whisper, "what happened?" "it didn't work.
00:03:27.230 --> 00:03:28.531
"it didn't work. did he lose his power."
00:03:28.598 --> 00:03:30.366
Did he lose his power." they had seen jesus speak
00:03:30.433 --> 00:03:31.801
They had seen jesus speak to a blind man and healed his
00:03:31.868 --> 00:03:33.903
To a blind man and healed his eyes.
00:03:33.970 --> 00:03:35.238
Eyes. they had heard him speak
00:03:35.305 --> 00:03:36.839
They had heard him speak to the storm and calm the sea.
00:03:36.906 --> 00:03:39.175
To the storm and calm the sea. but this time when jesus spoke
00:03:39.242 --> 00:03:42.312
But this time when jesus spoke nothing changed.
00:03:42.378 --> 00:03:43.379
Nothing changed. there was no evidence that what
00:03:43.446 --> 00:03:45.748
There was no evidence that what he said had happened.
00:03:45.815 --> 00:03:47.317
He said had happened. but the next morning as
00:03:47.383 --> 00:03:49.052
But the next morning as the disciples were passing
00:03:49.118 --> 00:03:50.453
The disciples were passing by they saw the tree.
00:03:50.520 --> 00:03:52.655
By they saw the tree. the scripture says the tree had
00:03:52.722 --> 00:03:55.692
The scripture says the tree had withered from the roots.
00:03:55.758 --> 00:03:57.727
Withered from the roots. when jesus spoke to the tree
00:03:57.794 --> 00:04:00.363
When jesus spoke to the tree nothing happen on the outside.
00:04:00.430 --> 00:04:02.565
Nothing happen on the outside. but on the inside,
00:04:02.632 --> 00:04:04.133
But on the inside, down in the roots, the source
00:04:04.200 --> 00:04:06.436
Down in the roots, the source was cut off.
00:04:06.502 --> 00:04:07.804
Was cut off. when the roots are dead the tree
00:04:07.870 --> 00:04:10.406
When the roots are dead the tree is dead.
00:04:10.473 --> 00:04:11.107
Is dead. it may still look alive.
00:04:11.174 --> 00:04:12.975
It may still look alive. it may still have green leaves.
00:04:13.042 --> 00:04:14.911
It may still have green leaves. still have wide branches.
00:04:14.977 --> 00:04:16.946
Still have wide branches. but it's just a matter of time
00:04:17.013 --> 00:04:19.782
But it's just a matter of time before the outside catches
00:04:19.849 --> 00:04:21.384
Before the outside catches up with the inside.
00:04:21.451 --> 00:04:23.586
Up with the inside. it may look like that sickness,
00:04:23.653 --> 00:04:25.621
It may look like that sickness, you're dealing with is still
00:04:25.688 --> 00:04:27.323
You're dealing with is still alive.
00:04:27.390 --> 00:04:28.725
Alive. that anxiety just as bad as
00:04:28.791 --> 00:04:30.393
That anxiety just as bad as ever.
00:04:30.460 --> 00:04:31.094
Ever. the addiction just as strong.
00:04:31.160 --> 00:04:33.329
The addiction just as strong. you prayed, wondered why god
00:04:33.396 --> 00:04:35.398
You prayed, wondered why god won't do something.
00:04:35.465 --> 00:04:36.632
Won't do something. god did do something.
00:04:36.699 --> 00:04:38.468
God did do something. the moment you prayed he cut
00:04:38.534 --> 00:04:41.037
The moment you prayed he cut off the source.
00:04:41.104 --> 00:04:42.305
Off the source. that addiction may look
00:04:42.372 --> 00:04:43.539
That addiction may look like it's alive, but if you
00:04:43.606 --> 00:04:45.341
Like it's alive, but if you could see the roots, you would
00:04:45.408 --> 00:04:48.010
Could see the roots, you would realize it's dead.
00:04:48.077 --> 00:04:49.379
Realize it's dead. it's just a matter of time
00:04:49.445 --> 00:04:51.848
It's just a matter of time before the outside catches up.
00:04:51.914 --> 00:04:53.983
Before the outside catches up. that sickness may seem
00:04:54.050 --> 00:04:55.485
That sickness may seem permanent, like you'll never get
00:04:55.551 --> 00:04:57.453
Permanent, like you'll never get well.
00:04:57.520 --> 00:04:58.855
Well. have a new perspective.
00:04:58.921 --> 00:05:00.189
Have a new perspective. the roots have been cut off.
00:05:00.256 --> 00:05:02.458
The roots have been cut off. now don't be discouraged because
00:05:02.525 --> 00:05:04.160
Now don't be discouraged because it still has green leaves.
00:05:04.227 --> 00:05:05.928
It still has green leaves. you don't see anything changing.
00:05:05.995 --> 00:05:08.431
You don't see anything changing. the psalmist said, "the strength
00:05:08.498 --> 00:05:10.066
The psalmist said, "the strength of the wicked is being cut
00:05:10.133 --> 00:05:12.101
Of the wicked is being cut off and the power of the godly
00:05:12.168 --> 00:05:15.271
Off and the power of the godly is being increased."
00:05:15.338 --> 00:05:16.639
Is being increased." everything that's trying to stop
00:05:16.706 --> 00:05:18.207
Everything that's trying to stop you you need to see that power
00:05:18.274 --> 00:05:20.510
You you need to see that power as being cut off.
00:05:20.576 --> 00:05:22.512
As being cut off. it may be hindering you now,
00:05:22.578 --> 00:05:24.647
It may be hindering you now, but it's not permanent.
00:05:24.714 --> 00:05:26.082
But it's not permanent. it's not going to last.
00:05:26.149 --> 00:05:27.583
It's not going to last. why?
00:05:27.650 --> 00:05:28.918
Why? it lost its source.
00:05:28.985 --> 00:05:30.486
It lost its source. every day it's withering.
00:05:30.553 --> 00:05:32.955
Every day it's withering. when jesus spoke to the tree
00:05:33.022 --> 00:05:35.291
When jesus spoke to the tree there was no evidence that
00:05:35.358 --> 00:05:37.226
There was no evidence that anything changed.
00:05:37.293 --> 00:05:39.195
Anything changed. maybe you're believing
00:05:39.262 --> 00:05:40.196
Maybe you're believing for something and you don't see
00:05:40.263 --> 00:05:42.165
For something and you don't see any sign of things improving.
00:05:42.231 --> 00:05:44.634
Any sign of things improving. you're speaking faith
00:05:44.700 --> 00:05:45.868
You're speaking faith over your health.
00:05:45.935 --> 00:05:47.303
Over your health. but the medical report's not
00:05:47.370 --> 00:05:48.971
But the medical report's not getting better.
00:05:49.038 --> 00:05:49.705
Getting better. you're praying for your child,
00:05:49.772 --> 00:05:51.207
You're praying for your child, but he's not getting back
00:05:51.274 --> 00:05:52.809
But he's not getting back on track.
00:05:52.875 --> 00:05:54.210
On track. if you just had some evidence,
00:05:54.277 --> 00:05:56.212
If you just had some evidence, if you just saw a little sign
00:05:56.279 --> 00:05:58.648
If you just saw a little sign then you would believe.
00:05:58.714 --> 00:06:00.349
Then you would believe. no, this is what faith is all
00:06:00.416 --> 00:06:02.718
No, this is what faith is all about.
00:06:02.785 --> 00:06:03.319
About. you can't be moved by what you
00:06:03.386 --> 00:06:05.655
You can't be moved by what you don't see.
00:06:05.721 --> 00:06:06.322
Don't see. you have to be moved by what you
00:06:06.389 --> 00:06:08.324
You have to be moved by what you know.
00:06:08.391 --> 00:06:08.958
Know. father, i want to thank you that
00:06:09.025 --> 00:06:10.860
Father, i want to thank you that the moment i prayed, you cut
00:06:10.927 --> 00:06:12.628
The moment i prayed, you cut off the roots.
00:06:12.695 --> 00:06:13.996
Off the roots. i know this sickness is not
00:06:14.063 --> 00:06:15.665
I know this sickness is not permanent.
00:06:15.731 --> 00:06:16.399
Permanent. healing is coming.
00:06:16.466 --> 00:06:18.234
Healing is coming. i know this addiction is not how
00:06:18.301 --> 00:06:20.503
I know this addiction is not how my story ends.
00:06:20.570 --> 00:06:21.504
My story ends. freedom is coming.
00:06:21.571 --> 00:06:23.306
Freedom is coming. i know this depression doesn't
00:06:23.372 --> 00:06:25.174
I know this depression doesn't have the final say.
00:06:25.241 --> 00:06:26.676
Have the final say. father, i thank you
00:06:26.742 --> 00:06:27.777
Father, i thank you that it's withering up.
00:06:27.844 --> 00:06:30.379
That it's withering up. and some of the things that
00:06:30.446 --> 00:06:32.014
And some of the things that you're concerned about god has
00:06:32.081 --> 00:06:33.382
You're concerned about god has already done.
00:06:33.449 --> 00:06:34.884
Already done. you haven't seen it
00:06:34.951 --> 00:06:36.319
You haven't seen it yet but in the unseen realm
00:06:36.385 --> 00:06:38.554
Yet but in the unseen realm things have changed.
00:06:38.621 --> 00:06:40.389
Things have changed. that anxiety you've been praying
00:06:40.456 --> 00:06:41.958
That anxiety you've been praying about, asking god to take it
00:06:42.024 --> 00:06:43.893
About, asking god to take it away.
00:06:43.960 --> 00:06:45.261
Away. it's already dead.
00:06:45.328 --> 00:06:46.629
It's already dead. that trouble at work, god has
00:06:46.696 --> 00:06:48.931
That trouble at work, god has already cut off the source.
00:06:48.998 --> 00:06:50.900
Already cut off the source. now, do your part.
00:06:50.967 --> 00:06:52.301
Now, do your part. stay in faith until it
00:06:52.368 --> 00:06:54.770
Stay in faith until it manifests.
00:06:54.837 --> 00:06:55.338
Manifests. keep thanking god.
00:06:55.404 --> 00:06:57.039
Keep thanking god. keep talking like you're free.
00:06:57.106 --> 00:06:59.008
Keep talking like you're free. keep thinking like you're
00:06:59.075 --> 00:07:00.042
Keep thinking like you're healthy.
00:07:00.109 --> 00:07:00.710
Healthy. keep living like you're
00:07:00.776 --> 00:07:03.079
Keep living like you're victorious.
00:07:03.145 --> 00:07:04.146
Victorious. victoria was in our backyard
00:07:04.213 --> 00:07:05.448
Victoria was in our backyard one time.
00:07:05.515 --> 00:07:06.549
One time. we had these beautiful
00:07:06.616 --> 00:07:07.750
We had these beautiful rose bushes.
00:07:07.817 --> 00:07:09.385
Rose bushes. she'd got some scissors and cut
00:07:09.452 --> 00:07:11.020
She'd got some scissors and cut off one of the roses and brought
00:07:11.087 --> 00:07:12.989
Off one of the roses and brought it inside.
00:07:13.055 --> 00:07:14.457
It inside. the moment she cut it off, it
00:07:14.524 --> 00:07:16.959
The moment she cut it off, it was dead.
00:07:17.026 --> 00:07:17.693
Was dead. it was separated from its source
00:07:17.760 --> 00:07:20.062
It was separated from its source of life.
00:07:20.129 --> 00:07:20.863
Of life. what's interesting is it didn't
00:07:20.930 --> 00:07:23.299
What's interesting is it didn't look dead.
00:07:23.366 --> 00:07:24.300
Look dead. it didn't look any different
00:07:24.367 --> 00:07:25.668
It didn't look any different from the other roses that were
00:07:25.735 --> 00:07:27.403
From the other roses that were still on the bush.
00:07:27.470 --> 00:07:28.804
Still on the bush. it was still beautiful, still
00:07:28.871 --> 00:07:31.340
It was still beautiful, still colorful, still smelled good.
00:07:31.407 --> 00:07:33.376
Colorful, still smelled good. she put it in a vase
00:07:33.442 --> 00:07:34.844
She put it in a vase for a couple of weeks it was
00:07:34.911 --> 00:07:36.546
For a couple of weeks it was right by our kitchen sink.
00:07:36.612 --> 00:07:38.514
Right by our kitchen sink. still looked beautiful, healthy,
00:07:38.581 --> 00:07:40.349
Still looked beautiful, healthy, but the whole time it was dead.
00:07:40.416 --> 00:07:43.586
But the whole time it was dead. was just a matter of time
00:07:43.653 --> 00:07:45.721
Was just a matter of time before it withered up.
00:07:45.788 --> 00:07:47.189
Before it withered up. you may have things in your life
00:07:47.256 --> 00:07:49.625
Like that rose.
00:07:49.859 --> 00:07:50.860
Like that rose. the sickness has already been
00:07:50.927 --> 00:07:53.062
The sickness has already been cut off.
00:07:53.129 --> 00:07:53.930
Cut off. the depression, the fear,
00:07:53.996 --> 00:07:56.165
The depression, the fear, the addiction.
00:07:56.232 --> 00:07:57.366
The addiction. the moment you prayed, it died,
00:07:57.433 --> 00:07:59.635
The moment you prayed, it died, but it still looks just
00:07:59.702 --> 00:08:01.604
But it still looks just the same.
00:08:01.671 --> 00:08:02.972
The same. you don't feel any different.
00:08:03.039 --> 00:08:04.707
You don't feel any different. nothing is changing.
00:08:04.774 --> 00:08:06.642
Nothing is changing. that's okay.
00:08:06.709 --> 00:08:07.977
That's okay. that doesn't mean that it's
00:08:08.044 --> 00:08:09.912
That doesn't mean that it's still alive.
00:08:09.979 --> 00:08:10.713
Still alive. like that rose, at some point,
00:08:10.780 --> 00:08:13.149
Like that rose, at some point, it's going to wither.
00:08:13.215 --> 00:08:14.784
It's going to wither. you're going to see what god
00:08:14.850 --> 00:08:17.086
You're going to see what god promised you.
00:08:17.153 --> 00:08:17.853
Promised you. now, the scripture says, "don't
00:08:17.920 --> 00:08:20.056
Now, the scripture says, "don't faint in your mind."
00:08:20.122 --> 00:08:21.891
Faint in your mind." the first place we lose
00:08:21.958 --> 00:08:23.225
The first place we lose the battle is in our own
00:08:23.292 --> 00:08:24.827
The battle is in our own thinking.
00:08:24.894 --> 00:08:26.128
Thinking. thoughts will tell you nothing
00:08:26.195 --> 00:08:27.997
Thoughts will tell you nothing happened when you prayed.
00:08:28.064 --> 00:08:29.532
Happened when you prayed. you'll never get well.
00:08:29.599 --> 00:08:31.233
You'll never get well. you'll never break
00:08:31.300 --> 00:08:32.134
You'll never break the addiction.
00:08:32.201 --> 00:08:32.735
The addiction. you've had it too long.
00:08:32.802 --> 00:08:34.303
You've had it too long. don't believe those lies
00:08:34.370 --> 00:08:35.905
Don't believe those lies the roots have been cut off.
00:08:35.972 --> 00:08:38.341
The roots have been cut off. it's just a matter of time
00:08:38.407 --> 00:08:40.309
It's just a matter of time before you see things change
00:08:40.376 --> 00:08:42.011
Before you see things change in your favor.
00:08:42.078 --> 00:08:43.913
In your favor. we have some friends every
00:08:43.980 --> 00:08:45.848
Easter they send us a dozen rose
00:08:46.182 --> 00:08:49.151
Easter they send us a dozen rose buds.
00:08:49.218 --> 00:08:50.486
Buds. they come in this large box
00:08:50.553 --> 00:08:52.221
They come in this large box and they have a long stem
00:08:52.288 --> 00:08:53.856
And they have a long stem with the rose bud on the top.
00:08:53.923 --> 00:08:56.492
With the rose bud on the top. what's interesting is even
00:08:56.559 --> 00:08:58.194
What's interesting is even though the rose is dead.
00:08:58.260 --> 00:09:00.396
Though the rose is dead. even though it's been cut
00:09:00.463 --> 00:09:01.864
Even though it's been cut off from the bush, when you put
00:09:01.931 --> 00:09:03.966
Off from the bush, when you put that stem in water the rose will
00:09:04.033 --> 00:09:07.236
That stem in water the rose will bloom.
00:09:07.303 --> 00:09:07.737
Bloom. it's dead,
00:09:07.803 --> 00:09:08.671
It's dead, but it will still blossom.
00:09:08.738 --> 00:09:10.706
But it will still blossom. it has no life, but it will
00:09:10.773 --> 00:09:13.342
It has no life, but it will still get bigger, increase,
00:09:13.409 --> 00:09:14.877
Still get bigger, increase, and expand.
00:09:14.944 --> 00:09:16.646
And expand. there are times when even though
00:09:16.712 --> 00:09:18.914
There are times when even though god has cut something off, it
00:09:18.981 --> 00:09:21.217
God has cut something off, it will get bigger.
00:09:21.283 --> 00:09:22.852
Will get bigger. even though he cut
00:09:22.918 --> 00:09:23.886
Even though he cut off the trouble, it will
00:09:23.953 --> 00:09:25.287
Off the trouble, it will blossom.
00:09:25.354 --> 00:09:26.689
Blossom. you'll be tempted to think,
00:09:26.756 --> 00:09:28.324
You'll be tempted to think, "joel, this sickness isn't dead,
00:09:28.391 --> 00:09:30.059
"joel, this sickness isn't dead, it's getting worse.
00:09:30.126 --> 00:09:31.594
It's getting worse. this anxiety is not dead, it's
00:09:31.661 --> 00:09:34.330
This anxiety is not dead, it's increasing instead
00:09:34.397 --> 00:09:35.197
Increasing instead of decreasing."
00:09:35.264 --> 00:09:36.599
Of decreasing." no, stay in faith.
00:09:36.666 --> 00:09:37.967
No, stay in faith. it may bloom.
00:09:38.034 --> 00:09:39.268
It may bloom. it may blossom.
00:09:39.335 --> 00:09:40.636
It may blossom. but it's still dead.
00:09:40.703 --> 00:09:42.071
But it's still dead. all through the day, father,
00:09:42.138 --> 00:09:43.773
All through the day, father, thank you that the source
00:09:43.839 --> 00:09:45.508
Thank you that the source of this trouble has been cut
00:09:45.574 --> 00:09:47.343
Of this trouble has been cut off.
00:09:47.410 --> 00:09:48.044
Off. thank you that you have cursed
00:09:48.110 --> 00:09:49.712
Thank you that you have cursed the roots of this fear.
00:09:49.779 --> 00:09:51.147
The roots of this fear. thank you that you said this
00:09:51.213 --> 00:09:52.782
Thank you that you said this sickness has to go.
00:09:52.848 --> 00:09:53.883
Sickness has to go. so, lord, i'm going to stay
00:09:53.949 --> 00:09:55.384
So, lord, i'm going to stay in agreement with you.
00:09:55.451 --> 00:09:56.419
In agreement with you. i know it's just a matter
00:09:56.485 --> 00:09:58.688
I know it's just a matter of time before it withers up.
00:09:58.754 --> 00:10:01.057
Of time before it withers up. when we were trying to acquire
00:10:01.123 --> 00:10:03.092
When we were trying to acquire this building, the former compaq
00:10:03.159 --> 00:10:04.794
This building, the former compaq center, we had all kinds
00:10:04.860 --> 00:10:07.396
Center, we had all kinds of opposition.
00:10:07.463 --> 00:10:08.431
Of opposition. but after two years, we finally
00:10:08.497 --> 00:10:10.766
But after two years, we finally got enough city council members
00:10:10.833 --> 00:10:12.802
Got enough city council members to be for us and we won
00:10:12.868 --> 00:10:15.137
To be for us and we won the vote.
00:10:15.204 --> 00:10:15.905
The vote. we were so excited.
00:10:15.971 --> 00:10:17.573
We were so excited. we knew that god gave us
00:10:17.640 --> 00:10:19.575
We knew that god gave us the building.
00:10:19.642 --> 00:10:20.309
The building. but three days later, a company
00:10:20.376 --> 00:10:22.645
But three days later, a company that owned most of the property
00:10:22.712 --> 00:10:25.014
That owned most of the property around the facility filed
00:10:25.081 --> 00:10:26.615
Around the facility filed a federal lawsuit to try to keep
00:10:26.682 --> 00:10:29.351
A federal lawsuit to try to keep us from moving in.
00:10:29.418 --> 00:10:31.287
Us from moving in. i thought the opposition was
00:10:31.353 --> 00:10:33.289
I thought the opposition was over but it was just beginning.
00:10:33.355 --> 00:10:35.725
Over but it was just beginning. we had this huge company coming
00:10:35.791 --> 00:10:38.260
We had this huge company coming against us.
00:10:38.327 --> 00:10:39.161
Against us. they were the largest taxpayer
00:10:39.228 --> 00:10:41.297
They were the largest taxpayer in texas, a big real estate
00:10:41.363 --> 00:10:43.866
In texas, a big real estate company.
00:10:43.933 --> 00:10:45.267
Company. i was tempted to think, "god,
00:10:45.334 --> 00:10:46.736
I was tempted to think, "god, what are we going to do?
00:10:46.802 --> 00:10:48.270
What are we going to do? they have more resources.
00:10:48.337 --> 00:10:49.805
They have more resources. they have more influence."
00:10:49.872 --> 00:10:51.640
They have more influence." but i did what i'm asking you
00:10:51.707 --> 00:10:53.843
But i did what i'm asking you to do.
00:10:53.909 --> 00:10:54.543
To do. i said, "father, i want to thank
00:10:54.610 --> 00:10:56.579
I said, "father, i want to thank you that the source of those
00:10:56.645 --> 00:10:58.314
You that the source of those coming against us has been cut
00:10:58.380 --> 00:11:00.015
Coming against us has been cut off.
00:11:00.082 --> 00:11:00.716
Off. they may be bigger, stronger,
00:11:00.783 --> 00:11:02.451
They may be bigger, stronger, but god, i know you being for us
00:11:02.518 --> 00:11:05.254
But god, i know you being for us is more than the world being
00:11:05.321 --> 00:11:07.356
Is more than the world being against us."
00:11:07.423 --> 00:11:08.124
Against us." like that rosebud that blooms
00:11:08.190 --> 00:11:10.159
Like that rosebud that blooms even though it's dead, don't be
00:11:10.226 --> 00:11:12.661
Even though it's dead, don't be surprised if opposition blossoms
00:11:12.728 --> 00:11:15.331
Surprised if opposition blossoms against you.
00:11:15.397 --> 00:11:16.732
Against you. adversity blooms, giants try
00:11:16.799 --> 00:11:18.901
Adversity blooms, giants try to stop you.
00:11:18.968 --> 00:11:20.536
To stop you. it looks like they have
00:11:20.603 --> 00:11:21.904
It looks like they have the upper hand.
00:11:21.971 --> 00:11:22.772
The upper hand. no, stay in peace.
00:11:22.838 --> 00:11:24.173
No, stay in peace. their source has been cut off.
00:11:24.240 --> 00:11:26.542
Their source has been cut off. it is not permanent.
00:11:26.609 --> 00:11:28.244
It is not permanent. it is just a matter of time
00:11:28.310 --> 00:11:30.713
It is just a matter of time before you see the hand of god.
00:11:30.780 --> 00:11:33.215
Before you see the hand of god. all the odds were against us.
00:11:33.282 --> 00:11:35.751
All the odds were against us. it looked like this building
00:11:35.818 --> 00:11:37.086
It looked like this building could be tied up in the courts
00:11:37.153 --> 00:11:38.988
Could be tied up in the courts for many years.
00:11:39.054 --> 00:11:40.523
For many years. we were told that the other side
00:11:40.589 --> 00:11:42.858
We were told that the other side would never back down.
00:11:42.925 --> 00:11:44.260
Would never back down. but one day they called
00:11:44.326 --> 00:11:45.828
But one day they called out of the blue and said they
00:11:45.895 --> 00:11:47.997
Out of the blue and said they wanted to meet.
00:11:48.063 --> 00:11:49.331
Wanted to meet. we met and they agreed to not
00:11:49.398 --> 00:11:51.700
We met and they agreed to not only let us have the building
00:11:51.767 --> 00:11:53.702
Only let us have the building but to lease us 9,000 covered
00:11:53.769 --> 00:11:56.806
But to lease us 9,000 covered parking spaces.
00:11:56.872 --> 00:11:57.807
Parking spaces. that two year legal battle
00:11:57.873 --> 00:12:00.176
That two year legal battle suddenly came to an end.
00:12:00.242 --> 00:12:02.678
Suddenly came to an end. when you walk into someone's
00:12:02.745 --> 00:12:04.213
When you walk into someone's house and see a beautiful
00:12:04.280 --> 00:12:05.748
House and see a beautiful bouquet of flowers, they can
00:12:05.815 --> 00:12:08.117
Bouquet of flowers, they can smell nice, they can look nice,
00:12:08.184 --> 00:12:10.953
Smell nice, they can look nice, you never think about the fact
00:12:11.020 --> 00:12:13.055
You never think about the fact that the flowers are dead.
00:12:13.122 --> 00:12:14.857
That the flowers are dead. that in a few weeks, they're
00:12:14.924 --> 00:12:16.492
That in a few weeks, they're going to be thrown out.
00:12:16.559 --> 00:12:17.860
Going to be thrown out. when negative things are
00:12:17.927 --> 00:12:19.662
When negative things are blooming in your life.
00:12:19.728 --> 00:12:21.497
Blooming in your life. like those roses, it may seem
00:12:21.564 --> 00:12:23.899
Like those roses, it may seem like they're permanent,
00:12:23.966 --> 00:12:25.134
Like they're permanent, like they're going to be there
00:12:25.201 --> 00:12:26.702
Like they're going to be there forever, but you have to remind
00:12:26.769 --> 00:12:28.237
Forever, but you have to remind yourself, it's only temporary.
00:12:28.304 --> 00:12:31.440
Yourself, it's only temporary. that sickness may be blooming.
00:12:31.507 --> 00:12:33.709
That sickness may be blooming. it looks so impressive.
00:12:33.776 --> 00:12:35.444
It looks so impressive. i know a secret.
00:12:35.511 --> 00:12:36.745
I know a secret. it's not going to last.
00:12:36.812 --> 00:12:38.747
It's not going to last. that trouble in your marriage
00:12:38.814 --> 00:12:40.883
That trouble in your marriage looks permanent.
00:12:40.950 --> 00:12:41.750
Looks permanent. know this too shall pass.
00:12:41.817 --> 00:12:43.986
Know this too shall pass. you're child's off course.
00:12:44.053 --> 00:12:45.855
You're child's off course. looks like he'll miss his
00:12:45.921 --> 00:12:47.389
Looks like he'll miss his destiny.
00:12:47.456 --> 00:12:48.057
Destiny. no, the source of that trouble
00:12:48.123 --> 00:12:50.292
No, the source of that trouble has been cut off.
00:12:50.359 --> 00:12:51.727
Has been cut off. may be blooming now that doesn't
00:12:51.794 --> 00:12:54.363
May be blooming now that doesn't mean that it's not dead.
00:12:54.430 --> 00:12:56.632
Mean that it's not dead. god has already put an end
00:12:56.699 --> 00:12:59.101
God has already put an end to it.
00:12:59.168 --> 00:12:59.969
To it. now it may take a little time
00:13:00.035 --> 00:13:02.004
Now it may take a little time to see what god promised,
00:13:02.071 --> 00:13:03.439
To see what god promised, but it's on the way.
00:13:03.505 --> 00:13:05.274
But it's on the way. don't talk yourself out of it.
00:13:05.341 --> 00:13:07.309
Don't talk yourself out of it. don't get discouraged by what's
00:13:07.376 --> 00:13:09.678
Don't get discouraged by what's not happening.
00:13:09.745 --> 00:13:10.579
Not happening. i've heard it said the enemy
00:13:10.646 --> 00:13:12.748
I've heard it said the enemy makes the most noise when he's
00:13:12.815 --> 00:13:14.917
Makes the most noise when he's on his way out.
00:13:14.984 --> 00:13:16.752
On his way out. you think about how when jesus
00:13:16.819 --> 00:13:19.688
You think about how when jesus told demons to leave people,
00:13:19.755 --> 00:13:22.224
Told demons to leave people, very often they'd let out a loud
00:13:22.291 --> 00:13:24.727
Very often they'd let out a loud scream.
00:13:24.793 --> 00:13:25.527
Scream. they'd make all this noise, all
00:13:25.594 --> 00:13:27.897
They'd make all this noise, all this commotion.
00:13:27.963 --> 00:13:28.697
This commotion. when the enemy stirring
00:13:28.764 --> 00:13:30.132
When the enemy stirring up trouble in your life, making
00:13:30.199 --> 00:13:32.268
Up trouble in your life, making a lot of noise, your health went
00:13:32.334 --> 00:13:34.403
A lot of noise, your health went down.
00:13:34.470 --> 00:13:35.170
Down. finances not good.
00:13:35.237 --> 00:13:36.472
Finances not good. your child is acting worse.
00:13:36.538 --> 00:13:38.340
Your child is acting worse. don't panic, that's a sign he's
00:13:38.407 --> 00:13:40.276
Don't panic, that's a sign he's on the way out.
00:13:40.342 --> 00:13:41.510
On the way out. he makes the most commotion when
00:13:41.577 --> 00:13:44.280
He makes the most commotion when he's about to leave.
00:13:44.346 --> 00:13:46.181
He's about to leave. there was a lady that had
00:13:46.248 --> 00:13:47.983
There was a lady that had a dream and in this dream she
00:13:48.050 --> 00:13:50.252
A dream and in this dream she was in her house and she saw
00:13:50.319 --> 00:13:52.655
Was in her house and she saw this very evil looking person
00:13:52.721 --> 00:13:54.423
This very evil looking person come in and start taking her
00:13:54.490 --> 00:13:57.393
Come in and start taking her possessions.
00:13:57.459 --> 00:13:57.927
Possessions. she was watching from the second
00:13:57.993 --> 00:14:00.195
She was watching from the second floor over the banister.
00:14:00.262 --> 00:14:01.764
Floor over the banister. he was putting her things
00:14:01.830 --> 00:14:03.632
He was putting her things in this large bag.
00:14:03.699 --> 00:14:05.234
In this large bag. in this dream she began to pray.
00:14:05.301 --> 00:14:07.770
In this dream she began to pray. she said, "in the name of jesus,
00:14:07.836 --> 00:14:10.272
She said, "in the name of jesus, i have authority over you.
00:14:10.339 --> 00:14:12.074
I have authority over you. leave my things alone."
00:14:12.141 --> 00:14:14.143
Leave my things alone." the man began to mock her.
00:14:14.209 --> 00:14:16.412
The man began to mock her. he said, "i don't have to listen
00:14:16.478 --> 00:14:18.380
He said, "i don't have to listen to you.
00:14:18.447 --> 00:14:18.981
To you. i'm not afraid of you or your
00:14:19.048 --> 00:14:21.150
I'm not afraid of you or your prayers."
00:14:21.216 --> 00:14:21.817
Prayers." he continued through the house,
00:14:21.884 --> 00:14:23.652
He continued through the house, putting her things in that bag.
00:14:23.719 --> 00:14:25.854
Putting her things in that bag. she said it again, "you have
00:14:25.921 --> 00:14:28.057
She said it again, "you have to go."
00:14:28.123 --> 00:14:28.824
To go." he laughed and said, "i don't
00:14:28.891 --> 00:14:30.626
He laughed and said, "i don't have to leave.
00:14:30.693 --> 00:14:31.560
Have to leave. your prayers don't stop me.
00:14:31.627 --> 00:14:33.529
Your prayers don't stop me. you have no authority over me."
00:14:33.595 --> 00:14:35.998
You have no authority over me." but this time she noticed while
00:14:36.065 --> 00:14:38.233
But this time she noticed while he was saying that he started
00:14:38.300 --> 00:14:40.602
He was saying that he started putting all of her things back.
00:14:40.669 --> 00:14:43.205
Putting all of her things back. he kept mocking her, laughing,
00:14:43.272 --> 00:14:45.374
He kept mocking her, laughing, causing a commotion, at the same
00:14:45.441 --> 00:14:48.010
Causing a commotion, at the same time he was returning everything
00:14:48.077 --> 00:14:50.412
Time he was returning everything that he took.
00:14:50.479 --> 00:14:51.814
That he took. this went on until he put
00:14:51.880 --> 00:14:54.049
This went on until he put everything back in its proper
00:14:54.116 --> 00:14:55.851
Everything back in its proper place.
00:14:55.918 --> 00:14:57.252
Place. as he was running
00:14:57.319 --> 00:14:58.253
As he was running out of the house.
00:14:58.320 --> 00:14:59.321
Out of the house. she could hear him
00:14:59.388 --> 00:15:00.589
She could hear him down the street still saying,
00:15:00.656 --> 00:15:02.291
Down the street still saying, "i'm not afraid of you.
00:15:02.358 --> 00:15:03.759
"i'm not afraid of you. you have no authority over me."
00:15:03.826 --> 00:15:06.595
You have no authority over me." see, the scripture says
00:15:06.662 --> 00:15:08.330
See, the scripture says the enemy comes like a roaring
00:15:08.397 --> 00:15:10.933
The enemy comes like a roaring lion.
00:15:11.000 --> 00:15:12.267
Lion. he's not a lion but he'll make
00:15:12.334 --> 00:15:14.236
He's not a lion but he'll make a lot of noise.
00:15:14.303 --> 00:15:15.337
A lot of noise. he'll talk a lot of trash.
00:15:15.404 --> 00:15:17.172
He'll talk a lot of trash. but his bite is not near as much
00:15:17.239 --> 00:15:20.542
But his bite is not near as much as his bark.
00:15:20.609 --> 00:15:21.777
As his bark. sometimes though, we're praying
00:15:21.844 --> 00:15:23.812
Sometimes though, we're praying and it doesn't seem
00:15:23.879 --> 00:15:25.781
And it doesn't seem like anything is happening.
00:15:25.848 --> 00:15:27.649
Like anything is happening. it's like the enemy is mocking
00:15:27.716 --> 00:15:29.485
It's like the enemy is mocking us, saying, "you'll never get
00:15:29.551 --> 00:15:30.986
Us, saying, "you'll never get well.
00:15:31.053 --> 00:15:32.321
Well. you'll never break
00:15:32.388 --> 00:15:33.155
You'll never break the addiction.
00:15:33.222 --> 00:15:33.789
The addiction. your child will never get back
00:15:33.856 --> 00:15:35.824
Your child will never get back on track."
00:15:35.891 --> 00:15:36.558
On track." if you'll just stay in faith,
00:15:36.625 --> 00:15:39.495
If you'll just stay in faith, keep praying, keep believing,
00:15:39.561 --> 00:15:41.463
Keep praying, keep believing, all that time, he stirring
00:15:41.530 --> 00:15:43.432
All that time, he stirring up trouble, causing a commotion.
00:15:43.499 --> 00:15:45.467
Up trouble, causing a commotion. what he won't tell you is he's
00:15:45.534 --> 00:15:48.003
Putting everything back.
00:15:48.170 --> 00:15:49.304
Putting everything back. he may laugh, but he's putting
00:15:49.371 --> 00:15:51.240
He may laugh, but he's putting your children back, putting your
00:15:51.306 --> 00:15:52.941
Your children back, putting your health back, putting your
00:15:53.008 --> 00:15:54.410
Health back, putting your freedom back, putting your
00:15:54.476 --> 00:15:55.811
Freedom back, putting your dreams back.
00:15:55.878 --> 00:15:58.047
Dreams back. don't get discouraged when
00:15:58.113 --> 00:15:59.948
Don't get discouraged when things get worse.
00:16:00.015 --> 00:16:01.450
Things get worse. what you lost is only temporary.
00:16:01.517 --> 00:16:04.119
What you lost is only temporary. it's all coming back.
00:16:04.186 --> 00:16:06.422
It's all coming back. jesus said in mark 11, "whatever
00:16:06.488 --> 00:16:09.458
Jesus said in mark 11, "whatever you desire when you pray believe
00:16:09.525 --> 00:16:12.494
You desire when you pray believe that you receive it and you will
00:16:12.561 --> 00:16:15.431
That you receive it and you will have it."
00:16:15.497 --> 00:16:16.265
Have it." it doesn't say believe that you
00:16:16.331 --> 00:16:18.534
It doesn't say believe that you receive it when you see it.
00:16:18.600 --> 00:16:20.869
Receive it when you see it. when your health turns around.
00:16:20.936 --> 00:16:22.704
When your health turns around. when the breakthrough comes.
00:16:22.771 --> 00:16:24.540
When the breakthrough comes. the key is you have to believe
00:16:24.606 --> 00:16:27.609
The key is you have to believe that it happens when you pray.
00:16:27.676 --> 00:16:30.312
That it happens when you pray. when nothing has changed.
00:16:30.379 --> 00:16:32.481
When nothing has changed. the medical report hasn't
00:16:32.548 --> 00:16:34.049
The medical report hasn't improved.
00:16:34.116 --> 00:16:34.850
Improved. the fig tree looks just
00:16:34.917 --> 00:16:36.685
The fig tree looks just the same.
00:16:36.752 --> 00:16:37.453
The same. you don't have any evidence
00:16:37.519 --> 00:16:39.455
You don't have any evidence but you believe when you prayed
00:16:39.521 --> 00:16:41.957
But you believe when you prayed your healing came.
00:16:42.024 --> 00:16:43.826
Your healing came. you have to receive it in your
00:16:43.892 --> 00:16:46.261
You have to receive it in your spirit before you'll ever see it
00:16:46.328 --> 00:16:48.430
Spirit before you'll ever see it in the natural.
00:16:48.497 --> 00:16:49.898
In the natural. you have to be healed in your
00:16:49.965 --> 00:16:52.201
You have to be healed in your spirit before you'll be healed
00:16:52.267 --> 00:16:53.936
Spirit before you'll be healed in your physical body.
00:16:54.002 --> 00:16:56.105
In your physical body. too often we believe we're going
00:16:56.171 --> 00:16:59.308
Too often we believe we're going to receive it.
00:16:59.374 --> 00:17:00.976
To receive it. one day i'm going to get well.
00:17:01.043 --> 00:17:03.045
One day i'm going to get well. i'm going to be free.
00:17:03.112 --> 00:17:04.480
I'm going to be free. that will limit us.
00:17:04.546 --> 00:17:05.981
That will limit us. the prayer of faith says when i
00:17:06.048 --> 00:17:08.684
The prayer of faith says when i pray according to god's word, i
00:17:08.750 --> 00:17:10.953
Pray according to god's word, i believe it happens right when i
00:17:11.019 --> 00:17:13.021
Believe it happens right when i pray.
00:17:13.088 --> 00:17:13.689
Pray. i have it in my spirit.
00:17:13.755 --> 00:17:15.624
You have to receive it in your
00:17:16.091 --> 00:17:17.993
You have to receive it in your spirit or you won't see it
00:17:18.060 --> 00:17:19.695
Spirit or you won't see it in the natural.
00:17:19.761 --> 00:17:21.096
In the natural. when my mother was diagnosed
00:17:21.163 --> 00:17:22.831
When my mother was diagnosed with terminal cancer, she and my
00:17:22.898 --> 00:17:24.967
With terminal cancer, she and my father prayed on december 11,
00:17:25.033 --> 00:17:29.371
Father prayed on december 11, 1981.
00:17:29.438 --> 00:17:30.205
1981. that day my mother believed she
00:17:30.272 --> 00:17:33.509
That day my mother believed she received her healing.
00:17:33.575 --> 00:17:35.144
Received her healing. she had just been given a few
00:17:35.210 --> 00:17:37.279
She had just been given a few weeks to live.
00:17:37.346 --> 00:17:38.180
Weeks to live. she looked so yellow.
00:17:38.247 --> 00:17:39.948
She looked so yellow. she only weighed 89 pounds.
00:17:40.015 --> 00:17:42.818
She only weighed 89 pounds. nothing in the natural said she
00:17:42.885 --> 00:17:45.354
Nothing in the natural said she was healed.
00:17:45.420 --> 00:17:46.188
Was healed. for months, nothing even looked
00:17:46.255 --> 00:17:48.423
For months, nothing even looked any different.
00:17:48.490 --> 00:17:49.291
Any different. she didn't feel any better.
00:17:49.358 --> 00:17:50.993
She didn't feel any better. in fact, it looked
00:17:51.059 --> 00:17:52.361
In fact, it looked like the cancer was winning.
00:17:52.427 --> 00:17:54.196
Like the cancer was winning. but my mother just kept saying,
00:17:54.263 --> 00:17:56.165
But my mother just kept saying, "father, thank you that
00:17:56.231 --> 00:17:57.533
"father, thank you that on december 11, when we prayed i
00:17:57.599 --> 00:18:00.769
On december 11, when we prayed i receive my healing.
00:18:00.836 --> 00:18:02.171
Receive my healing. thank you that that day the tide
00:18:02.237 --> 00:18:04.439
Thank you that that day the tide of the battle turned in my
00:18:04.506 --> 00:18:06.341
Of the battle turned in my health."
00:18:06.408 --> 00:18:07.743
Health." she kept thanking god.
00:18:07.809 --> 00:18:09.511
She kept thanking god. she kept calling herself
00:18:09.578 --> 00:18:11.346
She kept calling herself healthy.
00:18:11.413 --> 00:18:11.880
Healthy. she kept declaring scriptures
00:18:11.947 --> 00:18:13.448
She kept declaring scriptures over her life.
00:18:13.515 --> 00:18:14.650
Over her life. i will live and not die.
00:18:14.716 --> 00:18:16.718
I will live and not die. with long life god will satisfy
00:18:16.785 --> 00:18:19.254
With long life god will satisfy me.
00:18:19.321 --> 00:18:19.821
Me. eventually the healing she
00:18:19.888 --> 00:18:21.690
Eventually the healing she received in her spirit when she
00:18:21.757 --> 00:18:24.660
Received in her spirit when she wasn't well began to show
00:18:24.726 --> 00:18:26.562
Wasn't well began to show up in her physical body.
00:18:26.628 --> 00:18:28.564
Up in her physical body. she started getting better
00:18:28.630 --> 00:18:30.032
She started getting better and better.
00:18:30.098 --> 00:18:30.766
And better. today, 38 years later my mom is
00:18:30.832 --> 00:18:35.037
Today, 38 years later my mom is still healthy and whole.
00:18:35.103 --> 00:18:37.506
Still healthy and whole. when you believe that you
00:18:37.573 --> 00:18:39.775
When you believe that you receive when you pray, you don't
00:18:39.841 --> 00:18:42.544
Receive when you pray, you don't keep asking god to do it.
00:18:42.611 --> 00:18:44.746
Keep asking god to do it. you start thanking him.
00:18:44.813 --> 00:18:46.715
You start thanking him. if i've already received my
00:18:46.782 --> 00:18:48.417
If i've already received my healing i don't have to keep
00:18:48.483 --> 00:18:50.419
Healing i don't have to keep asking god to heal me.
00:18:50.485 --> 00:18:52.321
Asking god to heal me. keep begging "him, god, please
00:18:52.387 --> 00:18:53.889
Keep begging "him, god, please heal me."
00:18:53.956 --> 00:18:54.523
Heal me." no, instead you start saying,

Thank you that i am free. thank you that i am blessed."
00:19:00.963 --> 00:19:03.031
Thank you that i am blessed." maybe you're believing
00:19:03.098 --> 00:19:04.399
Maybe you're believing for a scholarship.
00:19:04.466 --> 00:19:05.834
For a scholarship. "father, i'm asking you for this
00:19:05.901 --> 00:19:07.869
"father, i'm asking you for this scholarship so i can continue my
00:19:07.936 --> 00:19:09.871
Scholarship so i can continue my education.
00:19:09.938 --> 00:19:11.240
Education. lord, i believe i receive it

Right now in my spirit." you receive it by faith.
00:19:15.244 --> 00:19:17.179
You receive it by faith. from then on, "father, thank you

You keep talking like it's coming.

Coming. every circumstance may say it's
00:19:24.786 --> 00:19:26.888
Every circumstance may say it's never going to work out.
00:19:26.955 --> 00:19:29.057
Never going to work out. you may not see anything
00:19:29.124 --> 00:19:30.859
You may not see anything changing.
00:19:30.926 --> 00:19:31.593
Changing. that's when you have to dig
00:19:31.660 --> 00:19:33.228
That's when you have to dig down deep and "say, i am not
00:19:33.295 --> 00:19:35.130
Down deep and "say, i am not going to give up on what god
00:19:35.197 --> 00:19:37.266
Going to give up on what god promised me.
00:19:37.332 --> 00:19:37.899
Promised me. i am not going to let negative

I am not going to let negative thoughts talk me out of it.
00:19:39.701 --> 00:19:41.103
Thoughts talk me out of it. i know what i've received in my
00:19:41.169 --> 00:19:44.273
I know what i've received in my spirit is already on the way."
00:19:44.339 --> 00:19:46.975
Spirit is already on the way." hebrews says, "hold fast
00:19:47.042 --> 00:19:49.244
Hebrews says, "hold fast the profession of your faith."
00:19:49.311 --> 00:19:52.147
The profession of your faith." you have to hold fast what god
00:19:52.214 --> 00:19:54.283
You have to hold fast what god put in your heart.
00:19:54.349 --> 00:19:55.584
Put in your heart. there are forces constantly
00:19:55.651 --> 00:19:57.152
There are forces constantly trying to convince us that what
00:19:57.219 --> 00:19:59.554
Trying to convince us that what god said is never going
00:19:59.621 --> 00:20:01.456
God said is never going to happen.
00:20:01.523 --> 00:20:02.224
To happen. it's been too long.
00:20:02.291 --> 00:20:03.825
It's been too long. there's no sign.
00:20:03.892 --> 00:20:05.160
There's no sign. it would've happened by now.
00:20:05.227 --> 00:20:07.029
It would've happened by now. no, in the unseen realm, things
00:20:07.095 --> 00:20:09.765
No, in the unseen realm, things have already changed.
00:20:09.831 --> 00:20:11.166
Have already changed. the miracle has already been set
00:20:11.233 --> 00:20:13.869
The miracle has already been set into motion.
00:20:13.935 --> 00:20:14.736
Into motion. the roots of what's been tryin'
00:20:14.803 --> 00:20:16.571
The roots of what's been tryin' to stop you have already been
00:20:16.638 --> 00:20:18.473
To stop you have already been cut off.
00:20:18.540 --> 00:20:19.808
Cut off. now, stay in faith until you see
00:20:19.875 --> 00:20:22.878
Now, stay in faith until you see the manifestations.
00:20:22.944 --> 00:20:23.812
The manifestations. don't talk yourself out of it.
00:20:23.879 --> 00:20:25.847
Don't talk yourself out of it. you may be tempted to let it go.
00:20:25.914 --> 00:20:28.817
You may be tempted to let it go. you're about to give up on your
00:20:28.884 --> 00:20:30.919
You're about to give up on your dream your health, your
00:20:30.986 --> 00:20:32.254
Dream your health, your children, they'll get a new
00:20:32.321 --> 00:20:34.222
Children, they'll get a new grip.
00:20:34.289 --> 00:20:35.023
Grip. it's closer than you think.
00:20:35.090 --> 00:20:36.992
It's closer than you think. you wouldn't be hearing this if
00:20:37.059 --> 00:20:39.194
You wouldn't be hearing this if it wasn't about to happen.
00:20:39.261 --> 00:20:41.096
It wasn't about to happen. when i was growing up my father
00:20:41.163 --> 00:20:43.198
When i was growing up my father would always have a big
00:20:43.265 --> 00:20:44.666
Would always have a big conference at lakewood every
00:20:44.733 --> 00:20:47.336
Conference at lakewood every thanksgiving.
00:20:47.402 --> 00:20:47.969
Thanksgiving. it's one of the highlights
00:20:48.036 --> 00:20:49.304
It's one of the highlights of the year.
00:20:49.371 --> 00:20:50.105
Of the year. he would fly in missionaries
00:20:50.172 --> 00:20:51.940
He would fly in missionaries that we support from all
00:20:52.007 --> 00:20:53.742
That we support from all over the world.
00:20:53.809 --> 00:20:55.077
Over the world. one year he decided he wanted
00:20:55.143 --> 00:20:57.579
One year he decided he wanted to feed everyone at lakewood.
00:20:57.646 --> 00:20:59.648
To feed everyone at lakewood. so, months
00:20:59.715 --> 00:21:00.415
So, months before the conference, he prayed
00:21:00.482 --> 00:21:02.384
Before the conference, he prayed and asked god to give him two
00:21:02.451 --> 00:21:04.653
And asked god to give him two cows.
00:21:04.720 --> 00:21:05.320
Cows. that way we would have enough
00:21:05.387 --> 00:21:07.222
That way we would have enough food to feed all the people.
00:21:07.289 --> 00:21:09.157
Food to feed all the people. he believed he received it when
00:21:09.224 --> 00:21:11.493
He believed he received it when he prayed but week after week
00:21:11.560 --> 00:21:13.862
He prayed but week after week went by and there were no sign
00:21:13.929 --> 00:21:16.531
Went by and there were no sign of any cows.
00:21:16.598 --> 00:21:17.699
Of any cows. he kept believing, telling
00:21:17.766 --> 00:21:18.867
He kept believing, telling the church that the cows were
00:21:18.934 --> 00:21:20.669
The church that the cows were coming but every voice said,
00:21:20.736 --> 00:21:23.338
Coming but every voice said, "you're wasting your time.
00:21:23.405 --> 00:21:25.440
"you're wasting your time. nobody has ever given you a cow.
00:21:25.507 --> 00:21:28.076
Nobody has ever given you a cow. you better go
00:21:28.143 --> 00:21:28.877
You better go down to chick-fil-a, eat more
00:21:28.944 --> 00:21:30.245
Down to chick-fil-a, eat more chicken."
00:21:30.312 --> 00:21:32.047
Chicken." as it got closer thoughts
00:21:32.114 --> 00:21:34.649
As it got closer thoughts whispered, "just buy the cows.
00:21:34.716 --> 00:21:37.285
Whispered, "just buy the cows. you have the money.
00:21:37.352 --> 00:21:38.620
You have the money. it's never going to happen."
00:21:38.687 --> 00:21:40.322
It's never going to happen." he finally got so worn down he
00:21:40.389 --> 00:21:42.858
He finally got so worn down he quit talking about the cows
00:21:42.924 --> 00:21:44.693
Quit talking about the cows and went out and bought the meat
00:21:44.760 --> 00:21:46.962
And went out and bought the meat for the conference.
00:21:47.028 --> 00:21:47.963
For the conference. couple of weeks later, he had
00:21:48.029 --> 00:21:50.165
Couple of weeks later, he had a dream one night.
00:21:50.232 --> 00:21:51.733
A dream one night. in this dream he saw this huge
00:21:51.800 --> 00:21:54.736
In this dream he saw this huge snake out in a field.
00:21:54.803 --> 00:21:56.938
Snake out in a field. inside this snake he could see
00:21:57.005 --> 00:21:59.374
Inside this snake he could see the distinct outline of two
00:21:59.441 --> 00:22:01.476
The distinct outline of two cows.
00:22:01.543 --> 00:22:02.811
Cows. he woke up and it was like god
00:22:02.878 --> 00:22:04.613
He woke up and it was like god said to him, "i just want you
00:22:04.679 --> 00:22:06.281
Said to him, "i just want you to know you let the enemy have
00:22:06.348 --> 00:22:09.951
To know you let the enemy have your cows."
00:22:10.018 --> 00:22:11.019
Your cows." those cows already belonged
00:22:11.086 --> 00:22:12.954
Those cows already belonged to my father in the unseen
00:22:13.021 --> 00:22:15.824
To my father in the unseen realm.
00:22:15.891 --> 00:22:17.225
Realm. they were on the way.
00:22:17.292 --> 00:22:18.593
They were on the way. but when we get discouraged,
00:22:18.660 --> 00:22:20.061
But when we get discouraged, when we quit believing.
00:22:20.128 --> 00:22:21.329
When we quit believing. "ah, it's never going to happen.
00:22:21.396 --> 00:22:22.964
"ah, it's never going to happen. i'll never get well, never meet
00:22:23.031 --> 00:22:25.000
I'll never get well, never meet the right person.
00:22:25.066 --> 00:22:26.101
The right person. joel, look at the fig tree, it
00:22:26.168 --> 00:22:28.403
Joel, look at the fig tree, it hasn't changed."
00:22:28.470 --> 00:22:29.137
Hasn't changed." now, my challenge to you is
00:22:29.204 --> 00:22:31.406
Now, my challenge to you is don't lose your cows.
00:22:31.473 --> 00:22:32.908
Don't lose your cows. what you've received in your
00:22:32.974 --> 00:22:35.110
What you've received in your spirit is already en route.
00:22:35.177 --> 00:22:37.379
Spirit is already en route. it's just a matter of time
00:22:37.446 --> 00:22:39.915
It's just a matter of time before it shows up.
00:22:39.981 --> 00:22:41.650
Before it shows up. hold fast your profession.
00:22:41.716 --> 00:22:44.219
Hold fast your profession. keep believing, keep thanking
00:22:44.286 --> 00:22:45.821
Keep believing, keep thanking god that it's on the way.
00:22:45.887 --> 00:22:48.190
God that it's on the way. god is faithful.
00:22:48.256 --> 00:22:50.192
God is faithful. don't let the lack of evidence
00:22:50.258 --> 00:22:52.093
Don't let the lack of evidence convince you that nothing is
00:22:52.160 --> 00:22:53.728
Convince you that nothing is happening.
00:22:53.795 --> 00:22:55.096
Happening. in the unseen realm things are
00:22:55.163 --> 00:22:57.232
In the unseen realm things are changing.
00:22:57.299 --> 00:22:57.999
Changing. forces that have stopped you
00:22:58.066 --> 00:22:59.768
Forces that have stopped you in the past have been broken.
00:22:59.835 --> 00:23:01.870
In the past have been broken. the roots have been cut
00:23:01.937 --> 00:23:03.438
The roots have been cut off of that depression, that
00:23:03.505 --> 00:23:04.973
Off of that depression, that addiction, that sickness.
