A way of pushin' us down. if you're not careful, you

Our job is to believe. our job is to go out each day
00:02:58.901 --> 00:03:00.603
Our job is to go out each day with expectancy, sayin',
00:03:00.670 --> 00:03:02.739
With expectancy, sayin', "god, i may not see a way,
00:03:02.805 --> 00:03:04.807
"god, i may not see a way, but i know you have a way,
00:03:04.874 --> 00:03:06.676
But i know you have a way, and i believe my breakthrough

Is on the way. i believe my healing, the promotion,

Healing, the promotion, freedom from this addiction,
00:03:12.148 --> 00:03:13.850
Freedom from this addiction, it's just a matter of time
00:03:13.916 --> 00:03:15.418
It's just a matter of time before it shows up."

00:05:12.435 --> 00:05:13.202
Doors open that you could never open.
00:05:13.269 --> 00:05:14.437
Never open. that's when you'll see
00:05:14.504 --> 00:05:15.405
That's when you'll see explosive blessings,
00:05:15.471 --> 00:05:17.306
Explosive blessings, blessings that catapult you
00:05:17.373 --> 00:05:18.841
Blessings that catapult you to the next level.
00:05:18.908 --> 00:05:20.376
To the next level. but too many people have
00:05:20.443 --> 00:05:21.811
But too many people have given up on what god's put in
00:05:21.878 --> 00:05:23.746
Given up on what god's put in their heart.
00:05:23.813 --> 00:05:24.881
Their heart. they tried, and it didn't
00:05:24.947 --> 00:05:25.882
They tried, and it didn't work out, and now they think
00:05:25.948 --> 00:05:27.483
Work out, and now they think the dream is dead and they'll
00:05:27.550 --> 00:05:29.419
The dream is dead and they'll never get well, never meet
00:05:29.485 --> 00:05:31.120
Never get well, never meet the right person, never come
00:05:31.187 --> 00:05:32.321
The right person, never come into abundance, but what you
00:05:32.388 --> 00:05:34.724
Into abundance, but what you think is dead is not really
00:05:34.791 --> 00:05:36.893
Think is dead is not really dead.
00:05:36.959 --> 00:05:38.161
Dead. that seed is still alive.
00:05:38.227 --> 00:05:40.430
That seed is still alive. god doesn't abort dreams.
00:05:40.496 --> 00:05:42.999
God doesn't abort dreams. he doesn't give up on what he
00:05:43.065 --> 00:05:44.801
He doesn't give up on what he put in us.
00:05:44.867 --> 00:05:46.636
Put in us. john chapter 11, word came to
00:05:46.702 --> 00:05:49.038
John chapter 11, word came to jesus that his good friend
00:05:49.105 --> 00:05:50.873
Jesus that his good friend lazarus was very sick.
00:05:50.940 --> 00:05:53.276
Lazarus was very sick. he was in another city, and
00:05:53.342 --> 00:05:54.677
He was in another city, and they wanted jesus to come
00:05:54.744 --> 00:05:56.078
They wanted jesus to come pray for him.
00:05:56.145 --> 00:05:57.413
Pray for him. jesus was delayed for a
00:05:57.480 --> 00:05:58.748
Jesus was delayed for a couple of days, and lazarus
00:05:58.815 --> 00:06:00.516
Couple of days, and lazarus ended up dying.
00:06:00.583 --> 00:06:02.552
Ended up dying. but it's interesting: jesus
00:06:02.618 --> 00:06:04.387
But it's interesting: jesus said to his disciples in
00:06:04.454 --> 00:06:05.988
Said to his disciples in verse 11, "our friend lazarus
00:06:06.055 --> 00:06:08.724
Verse 11, "our friend lazarus has fallen asleep. i'm goin'
00:06:08.791 --> 00:06:11.494
Has fallen asleep. i'm goin' there to wake him up."
00:06:11.561 --> 00:06:14.197
Lazarus was clearly dead, but
00:06:14.363 --> 00:06:16.566
Lazarus was clearly dead, but jesus had a different
00:06:16.632 --> 00:06:17.867
Jesus had a different perspective.
00:06:17.934 --> 00:06:19.068
Perspective. he said, "he's only asleep."
00:06:19.135 --> 00:06:22.004
He said, "he's only asleep." could it be what you think is
00:06:22.071 --> 00:06:24.240
Could it be what you think is dead--looks like your
00:06:24.307 --> 00:06:26.242
Dead--looks like your marriage is never gonna make
00:06:26.309 --> 00:06:27.710
Marriage is never gonna make it, you'll never get well,
00:06:27.777 --> 00:06:29.846
It, you'll never get well, never accomplish the
00:06:29.912 --> 00:06:30.813
Never accomplish the dream--like lazarus, all the
00:06:30.880 --> 00:06:33.483
Dream--like lazarus, all the circumstances say that it's
00:06:33.549 --> 00:06:35.485
Circumstances say that it's over and done, but god says,
00:06:35.551 --> 00:06:38.688
Over and done, but god says, "i have a different
00:06:38.754 --> 00:06:39.689
"i have a different perspective. i can see things
00:06:39.755 --> 00:06:42.124
Perspective. i can see things that you can't see. it's not
00:06:42.191 --> 00:06:44.160
That you can't see. it's not dead. it's just asleep.
00:06:44.227 --> 00:06:46.596
Dead. it's just asleep. it may look permanent.
00:06:46.662 --> 00:06:48.331
It may look permanent. the truth is, it's only
00:06:48.397 --> 00:06:49.699
The truth is, it's only temporary."
00:06:49.765 --> 00:06:51.400
Temporary." jesus showed up at lazarus'
00:06:51.467 --> 00:06:53.236
Jesus showed up at lazarus' house 4 days later.
00:06:53.302 --> 00:06:55.571
House 4 days later. he'd been in the tomb so long
00:06:55.638 --> 00:06:56.939
He'd been in the tomb so long that he stunk.
00:06:57.006 --> 00:06:58.774
That he stunk. it was so dead, that it
00:06:58.841 --> 00:07:00.443
It was so dead, that it smelled badly.
00:07:00.510 --> 00:07:02.111
Smelled badly. at times, we all have things
00:07:02.178 --> 00:07:04.280
At times, we all have things in life that stink.
00:07:04.347 --> 00:07:06.883
In life that stink. maybe your marriage feels so
00:07:06.949 --> 00:07:08.084
Maybe your marriage feels so dead that it stinks.
00:07:08.150 --> 00:07:10.086
Dead that it stinks. that bankruptcy, that layoff
00:07:10.152 --> 00:07:11.387
That bankruptcy, that layoff stinks.
00:07:11.454 --> 00:07:12.688
Stinks. that mistake ya made that set
00:07:12.755 --> 00:07:14.056
That mistake ya made that set ya back, it stinks.
00:07:14.123 --> 00:07:16.526
Ya back, it stinks. jesus went to the tomb and
00:07:16.592 --> 00:07:18.327
Jesus went to the tomb and told them to roll away the
00:07:18.394 --> 00:07:19.762
Told them to roll away the stone.
00:07:19.829 --> 00:07:21.163
Stone. martha said, "no, jesus.
00:07:21.230 --> 00:07:23.165
Martha said, "no, jesus. it smells too badly.
00:07:23.232 --> 00:07:25.268
It smells too badly. you're not goin' to like it.
00:07:25.334 --> 00:07:26.235
You're not goin' to like it. you're gonna be put off by
00:07:26.302 --> 00:07:27.203
You're gonna be put off by it."
00:07:27.270 --> 00:07:28.170
It." jesus said, "no, martha, have
00:07:28.237 --> 00:07:29.572
Jesus said, "no, martha, have them roll away that stone."
00:07:29.639 --> 00:07:32.008
Them roll away that stone." what's the point?
00:07:32.074 --> 00:07:33.476
What's the point? jesus went to where the stink
00:07:33.543 --> 00:07:35.444
Jesus went to where the stink was.
00:07:35.511 --> 00:07:36.412
Was. sometimes we think that god
00:07:36.479 --> 00:07:38.881
Sometimes we think that god will only help us if we'd
00:07:38.948 --> 00:07:40.283
Will only help us if we'd lived perfect, everything is
00:07:40.349 --> 00:07:42.285
Lived perfect, everything is nice and whole.
00:07:42.351 --> 00:07:43.986
Nice and whole. but god goes to the stinky
00:07:44.053 --> 00:07:45.555
But god goes to the stinky places in our lives.
00:07:45.621 --> 00:07:47.790
Places in our lives. that person that hurt you,
00:07:47.857 --> 00:07:49.091
That person that hurt you, did ya wrong, it stinks.
00:07:49.158 --> 00:07:50.626
Did ya wrong, it stinks. god is sayin', "let me in.
00:07:50.693 --> 00:07:53.362
God is sayin', "let me in. i'm goin' to wake up the
00:07:53.429 --> 00:07:54.297
I'm goin' to wake up the healing, wake up the
00:07:54.363 --> 00:07:55.765
Healing, wake up the restoration, wake up the new
00:07:55.831 --> 00:07:57.533
Restoration, wake up the new beginning."
00:07:57.600 --> 00:07:58.968
Beginning." that mistake ya made, you
00:07:59.035 --> 00:08:00.736
That mistake ya made, you feel condemned.
00:08:00.803 --> 00:08:02.171
Feel condemned. every voice tells ya, "god's
00:08:02.238 --> 00:08:03.739
Every voice tells ya, "god's not gonna bless you. nothing
00:08:03.806 --> 00:08:05.441
Not gonna bless you. nothing good is comin' your way.
00:08:05.508 --> 00:08:07.577
Good is comin' your way. you blew it. you stink."
00:08:07.643 --> 00:08:09.312
You blew it. you stink." god is sayin', "no. roll that
00:08:09.378 --> 00:08:10.913
God is sayin', "no. roll that stone away. i'm not
00:08:10.980 --> 00:08:12.615
Stone away. i'm not bothered by the stink."
00:08:12.682 --> 00:08:14.617
Bothered by the stink." god goes to the stinky places
00:08:14.684 --> 00:08:17.453
God goes to the stinky places where you were betrayed,
00:08:17.520 --> 00:08:19.155
Where you were betrayed, where you lost a loved one,
00:08:19.221 --> 00:08:20.656
Where you lost a loved one, where you're compromised.
00:08:20.723 --> 00:08:22.458
Where you're compromised. you feel disqualified.
00:08:22.525 --> 00:08:24.026
You feel disqualified. god says, "let me in.
00:08:24.093 --> 00:08:26.529
God says, "let me in. the stink is only temporary.
00:08:26.596 --> 00:08:29.098
The stink is only temporary. the dream is not dead.
00:08:29.165 --> 00:08:31.033
It's just asleep."
00:08:31.200 --> 00:08:32.802
It's just asleep." jesus looked at lazarus, and
00:08:32.868 --> 00:08:34.770
Jesus looked at lazarus, and he spoke to him, said,
00:08:34.837 --> 00:08:36.238
He spoke to him, said, "lazarus, come forth."
00:08:36.305 --> 00:08:38.107
"lazarus, come forth." lazarus woke up.
00:08:38.174 --> 00:08:39.642
Lazarus woke up. he'd been dead for 4 days,
00:08:39.709 --> 00:08:41.444
He'd been dead for 4 days, but he came up out of the
00:08:41.510 --> 00:08:42.445
But he came up out of the tomb, and he went on to live
00:08:42.511 --> 00:08:44.246
Tomb, and he went on to live many more years.
00:08:44.313 --> 00:08:46.115
Many more years. i believe today, things that
00:08:46.182 --> 00:08:48.284
I believe today, things that you've given up on, things
00:08:48.351 --> 00:08:50.119
You've given up on, things that you think are dead, like
00:08:50.186 --> 00:08:52.121
That you think are dead, like lazarus, they're about to
00:08:52.188 --> 00:08:53.556
Lazarus, they're about to wake up.
00:08:53.623 --> 00:08:55.091
Wake up. marriages are gonna wake up.
00:08:55.157 --> 00:08:56.592
Marriages are gonna wake up. dreams are wakin' up,
00:08:56.659 --> 00:08:58.094
Dreams are wakin' up, healings wakin' up.
00:08:58.160 --> 00:08:59.295
Healings wakin' up. abundance is wakin' up.
00:08:59.362 --> 00:09:00.796
Abundance is wakin' up. god is sayin' to us what he
00:09:00.863 --> 00:09:03.532
God is sayin' to us what he said to the disciples: "it's
00:09:03.599 --> 00:09:06.002
Said to the disciples: "it's not dead. it's just asleep."
00:09:06.068 --> 00:09:09.205
Not dead. it's just asleep." healing is comin'.
00:09:09.271 --> 00:09:10.573
Healing is comin'. joy is comin'.
00:09:10.640 --> 00:09:11.607
Joy is comin'. victory is coming.
00:09:11.674 --> 00:09:13.776
Victory is coming. it may have been asleep a
00:09:13.843 --> 00:09:15.111
It may have been asleep a long time.
00:09:15.177 --> 00:09:16.445
Long time. you think there's no way it
00:09:16.512 --> 00:09:17.546
You think there's no way it could happen now.
00:09:17.613 --> 00:09:18.948
Could happen now. that's what mary and martha
00:09:19.015 --> 00:09:20.650
That's what mary and martha thought, but it's not too
00:09:20.716 --> 00:09:22.018
Thought, but it's not too late.
00:09:22.084 --> 00:09:22.718
Late. it's not too far gone.
00:09:22.785 --> 00:09:24.186
It's not too far gone. you need to get ready.
00:09:24.253 --> 00:09:25.321
You need to get ready. god's about to wake it up.
00:09:25.388 --> 00:09:27.356
This is what he did for
00:09:27.523 --> 00:09:28.991
This is what he did for sarah, a young lady in the
00:09:29.058 --> 00:09:31.527
Sarah, a young lady in the scripture.
00:09:31.594 --> 00:09:32.628
Scripture. she and her husband abraham
00:09:32.695 --> 00:09:34.196
She and her husband abraham had tried for 20 years to
00:09:34.263 --> 00:09:36.599
Had tried for 20 years to have a baby, no success.
00:09:36.666 --> 00:09:39.201
Have a baby, no success. now sarah is 80 years old.
00:09:39.268 --> 00:09:42.438
Now sarah is 80 years old. everything logically speaking
00:09:42.505 --> 00:09:44.073
Everything logically speaking said there's no way, but what
00:09:44.140 --> 00:09:46.275
Said there's no way, but what god has promised you, he's
00:09:46.342 --> 00:09:48.310
God has promised you, he's still going to bring to pass.
00:09:48.377 --> 00:09:50.046
Still going to bring to pass. god is not limited by the
00:09:50.112 --> 00:09:51.647
God is not limited by the laws of nature.
00:09:51.714 --> 00:09:53.082
Laws of nature. you're not at the mercy of
00:09:53.149 --> 00:09:54.316
You're not at the mercy of your age, your education,
00:09:54.383 --> 00:09:56.118
Your age, your education, your background.
00:09:56.185 --> 00:09:57.019
Your background. god has unlimited power.
00:09:57.086 --> 00:09:59.722
God has unlimited power. one touch of his favor can
00:09:59.789 --> 00:10:01.490
One touch of his favor can turn a situation around.
00:10:01.557 --> 00:10:03.559
Turn a situation around. sarah thought her womb was
00:10:03.626 --> 00:10:05.561
Sarah thought her womb was dead.
00:10:05.628 --> 00:10:06.395
Dead. what she didn't realize was
00:10:06.462 --> 00:10:07.830
What she didn't realize was it was only asleep.
00:10:07.897 --> 00:10:10.366
It was only asleep. at nearly 100 years old, she
00:10:10.433 --> 00:10:12.735
At nearly 100 years old, she gave birth to a baby.
00:10:12.802 --> 00:10:14.570
Gave birth to a baby. the promise came to pass.
00:10:14.637 --> 00:10:16.672
The promise came to pass. like sarah, god has put
00:10:16.739 --> 00:10:18.441
Like sarah, god has put dreams and promises in you.
00:10:18.507 --> 00:10:20.910
Dreams and promises in you. may not have happened yet.
00:10:20.976 --> 00:10:22.912
May not have happened yet. you've tried again and again.
00:10:22.978 --> 00:10:24.513
You've tried again and again. it didn't work out.
00:10:24.580 --> 00:10:25.848
It didn't work out. now, maybe you've settled
00:10:25.915 --> 00:10:26.749
Now, maybe you've settled there and think, "oh, yeah,
00:10:26.816 --> 00:10:27.750
There and think, "oh, yeah, it just wasn't meant to be,"
00:10:27.817 --> 00:10:29.018
It just wasn't meant to be," but god is full of surprises.
00:10:29.085 --> 00:10:32.121
But god is full of surprises. he's about to wake up that
00:10:32.188 --> 00:10:33.889
He's about to wake up that dream you've given up on.
00:10:33.956 --> 00:10:35.524
Dream you've given up on. he's about to bring back to
00:10:35.591 --> 00:10:36.926
He's about to bring back to life what you thought was
00:10:36.992 --> 00:10:38.694
Life what you thought was dead.
00:10:38.761 --> 00:10:39.495
Dead. your latter days are goin' to
00:10:39.562 --> 00:10:41.731
Your latter days are goin' to be more rewarding, more
00:10:41.797 --> 00:10:43.432
Be more rewarding, more fulfilling than your former
00:10:43.499 --> 00:10:45.167
Fulfilling than your former days.
00:10:45.234 --> 00:10:45.801
Days. you're going to give birth to
00:10:45.868 --> 00:10:47.169
You're going to give birth to more in the future than
00:10:47.236 --> 00:10:48.804
More in the future than you've lost in the past.
00:10:48.871 --> 00:10:51.107
You've lost in the past. your baby is on the way.
00:10:51.173 --> 00:10:53.008
Your baby is on the way. your promise is on the way.
00:10:53.075 --> 00:10:54.577
Your promise is on the way. that dream is on the way.
00:10:54.643 --> 00:10:57.079
That dream is on the way. mark chapter 6, jesus went
00:10:57.146 --> 00:10:59.081
Mark chapter 6, jesus went back to his hometown.
00:10:59.148 --> 00:11:01.016
Back to his hometown. he began to teach the people
00:11:01.083 --> 00:11:02.651
He began to teach the people in the synagogue.
00:11:02.718 --> 00:11:04.120
In the synagogue. they had heard that jesus had
00:11:04.186 --> 00:11:05.387
They had heard that jesus had done great miracles and
00:11:05.454 --> 00:11:06.856
Done great miracles and calmed the seas, opened blind
00:11:06.922 --> 00:11:08.591
Calmed the seas, opened blind eyes.
00:11:08.657 --> 00:11:09.959
Eyes. but when they saw him up
00:11:10.025 --> 00:11:11.127
But when they saw him up there teaching, they thought,
00:11:11.193 --> 00:11:12.595
There teaching, they thought, "that's just jesus.
00:11:12.661 --> 00:11:14.697
"that's just jesus. that's who we grew up with.
00:11:14.764 --> 00:11:16.132
That's who we grew up with. that's the carpenter's son,
00:11:16.198 --> 00:11:17.600
That's the carpenter's son, nothin' special about him."
00:11:17.666 --> 00:11:19.401
Nothin' special about him." because they didn't believe
00:11:19.468 --> 00:11:21.137
Because they didn't believe in him, he couldn't do any
00:11:21.203 --> 00:11:23.139
In him, he couldn't do any miracles in his hometown.
00:11:23.205 --> 00:11:25.641
Miracles in his hometown. verse 6 says, "jesus marveled
00:11:25.708 --> 00:11:28.110
Verse 6 says, "jesus marveled at their unbelief."
00:11:28.177 --> 00:11:30.246
At their unbelief." the book of matthew, a roman
00:11:30.312 --> 00:11:32.748
The book of matthew, a roman officer came to jesus, said,
00:11:32.815 --> 00:11:35.251
Officer came to jesus, said, "one of my employees is very
00:11:35.317 --> 00:11:36.886
"one of my employees is very sick. you don't need to come
00:11:36.952 --> 00:11:38.988
Sick. you don't need to come to my house. just speak the
00:11:39.054 --> 00:11:40.856
To my house. just speak the word, and i know he'll be
00:11:40.923 --> 00:11:42.591
Word, and i know he'll be healed."
00:11:42.658 --> 00:11:43.793
Healed." when jesus heard this, the
00:11:43.859 --> 00:11:45.761
When jesus heard this, the scripture says he was amazed
00:11:45.828 --> 00:11:48.030
Scripture says he was amazed and said, "i have not found
00:11:48.097 --> 00:11:49.698
And said, "i have not found such great faith in all of
00:11:49.765 --> 00:11:51.634
Such great faith in all of israel."
00:11:51.700 --> 00:11:53.402
Israel." one place, he marveled at
00:11:53.469 --> 00:11:55.237
One place, he marveled at their doubt, the other, he
00:11:55.304 --> 00:11:57.640
Their doubt, the other, he marveled at their faith.
00:11:57.706 --> 00:11:59.675
Marveled at their faith. when god looks at you, what
00:11:59.742 --> 00:12:01.310
When god looks at you, what will he marvel at?
00:12:01.377 --> 00:12:03.245
Will he marvel at? "i'll never get well, joel.
00:12:03.312 --> 00:12:05.214
"i'll never get well, joel. i've had this sickness so
00:12:05.281 --> 00:12:06.215
I've had this sickness so long."
00:12:06.282 --> 00:12:07.016
Long." "i'll never accomplish my
00:12:07.082 --> 00:12:08.150
"i'll never accomplish my dreams. i tried. it didn't
00:12:08.217 --> 00:12:10.019
Dreams. i tried. it didn't work out."
00:12:10.085 --> 00:12:10.853
Work out." when ya think like that, god
00:12:10.920 --> 00:12:13.055
When ya think like that, god marvels at your unbelief.
00:12:13.122 --> 00:12:15.157
Marvels at your unbelief. that ties his hands.
00:12:15.224 --> 00:12:16.959
That ties his hands. why don't you come over
00:12:17.026 --> 00:12:17.760
Why don't you come over into faith?
00:12:17.827 --> 00:12:19.361
Into faith? "yes, i've had this sickness
00:12:19.428 --> 00:12:20.696
"yes, i've had this sickness a long time, but i know my
00:12:20.763 --> 00:12:22.164
A long time, but i know my healing is on the way."
00:12:22.231 --> 00:12:24.466
Healing is on the way." "i had a bad break. it wasn't
00:12:24.533 --> 00:12:25.868
"i had a bad break. it wasn't fair, but i know god has
00:12:25.935 --> 00:12:27.770
Fair, but i know god has beauty for these ashes.
00:12:27.837 --> 00:12:29.405
Beauty for these ashes. i know favor is in my
00:12:29.471 --> 00:12:30.539
I know favor is in my future."
00:12:30.606 --> 00:12:31.640
Future." when we think like that, then
00:12:31.707 --> 00:12:33.909
When we think like that, then god marvels at your faith.
00:12:33.976 --> 00:12:36.478
That's what allows him to do
00:12:36.645 --> 00:12:37.880
That's what allows him to do more than we can ask or
00:12:37.947 --> 00:12:39.215
More than we can ask or think.
00:12:39.281 --> 00:12:40.516
Think. but what's interesting is the
00:12:40.583 --> 00:12:42.318
But what's interesting is the people that doubted, the
00:12:42.384 --> 00:12:44.320
People that doubted, the people who had the unbelief
00:12:44.386 --> 00:12:45.688
People who had the unbelief were the religious people.
00:12:45.754 --> 00:12:48.490
Were the religious people. they were in the synagogue
00:12:48.557 --> 00:12:49.692
They were in the synagogue each week.
00:12:49.758 --> 00:12:50.793
Each week. they were the faithful
00:12:50.860 --> 00:12:51.560
They were the faithful members.
00:12:51.627 --> 00:12:52.328
Members. and i say this respectfully:
00:12:52.394 --> 00:12:54.363
And i say this respectfully: sometimes religion will try
00:12:54.430 --> 00:12:56.699
Sometimes religion will try to talk you out of god's
00:12:56.765 --> 00:12:57.800
To talk you out of god's best.
00:12:57.867 --> 00:12:58.801
Best. it will tell ya, "in the
00:12:58.868 --> 00:13:00.402
It will tell ya, "in the sweet bye-and-bye, you can
00:13:00.469 --> 00:13:02.137
Sweet bye-and-bye, you can live a victorious life, but
00:13:02.204 --> 00:13:03.939
Live a victorious life, but down here, you just have to
00:13:04.006 --> 00:13:05.307
Down here, you just have to suffer through it.
00:13:05.374 --> 00:13:06.675
Suffer through it. just endure. don't expect
00:13:06.742 --> 00:13:07.910
Just endure. don't expect too much."
00:13:07.977 --> 00:13:09.211
Too much." if jesus were here, he would
00:13:09.278 --> 00:13:11.513
If jesus were here, he would marvel at that unbelief.
00:13:11.580 --> 00:13:14.083
Marvel at that unbelief. my father was taught in
00:13:14.149 --> 00:13:15.551
My father was taught in seminary years ago that the
00:13:15.618 --> 00:13:18.354
Seminary years ago that the day of miracles was over.
00:13:18.420 --> 00:13:20.723
Day of miracles was over. "god doesn't still heal and
00:13:20.789 --> 00:13:22.258
"god doesn't still heal and bless and show favor.
00:13:22.324 --> 00:13:23.893
Bless and show favor. that was for bible days."
00:13:23.959 --> 00:13:25.828
That was for bible days." but we learned there never
00:13:25.895 --> 00:13:27.363
But we learned there never was a day of miracles.
00:13:27.429 --> 00:13:29.398
There's a god of miracles.
00:13:29.565 --> 00:13:31.000
There's a god of miracles. he's still alive.
00:13:31.066 --> 00:13:32.034
He's still alive. he's still on the throne.
00:13:32.101 --> 00:13:34.670
He's still on the throne. my point is, this roman
00:13:34.737 --> 00:13:36.772
My point is, this roman officer that had great faith
00:13:36.839 --> 00:13:39.108
Officer that had great faith wasn't a religious person.
00:13:39.174 --> 00:13:41.911
Wasn't a religious person. he hadn't been indoctrinated
00:13:41.977 --> 00:13:43.612
He hadn't been indoctrinated to think that it couldn't
00:13:43.679 --> 00:13:44.747
To think that it couldn't happen.
00:13:44.813 --> 00:13:45.748
Happen. he simply believed, "that man
00:13:45.814 --> 00:13:47.683
He simply believed, "that man is the son of god. i've seen
00:13:47.750 --> 00:13:49.685
Is the son of god. i've seen him do miracles. he's done it
00:13:49.752 --> 00:13:51.487
Him do miracles. he's done it for others. he can do it
00:13:51.553 --> 00:13:52.554
For others. he can do it for me."
00:13:52.621 --> 00:13:53.589
For me." he received his miracle while
00:13:53.656 --> 00:13:56.191
He received his miracle while the religious people went
00:13:56.258 --> 00:13:57.326
The religious people went without.
00:13:57.393 --> 00:13:58.928
Without. and when ya take the limits
00:13:58.994 --> 00:13:59.995
And when ya take the limits off of god and dare to
00:14:00.062 --> 00:14:01.363
Off of god and dare to believe for your dreams,
00:14:01.430 --> 00:14:03.198
Believe for your dreams, don't be surprised if people
00:14:03.265 --> 00:14:04.934
Don't be surprised if people try to talk ya out of it, say
00:14:05.000 --> 00:14:07.036
Try to talk ya out of it, say things like, "you really
00:14:07.102 --> 00:14:07.970
Things like, "you really think you'll get well?"
00:14:08.037 --> 00:14:09.805
Think you'll get well?" "you really believe you can
00:14:09.872 --> 00:14:10.973
"you really believe you can start that business?
00:14:11.040 --> 00:14:12.508
Start that business? break that addiction? i don't
00:14:12.574 --> 00:14:13.642
Break that addiction? i don't know. it seems kind of
00:14:13.709 --> 00:14:14.677
Know. it seems kind of far-out to me."
00:14:14.743 --> 00:14:15.644
Far-out to me." god is either goin' to marvel
00:14:15.711 --> 00:14:17.680
God is either goin' to marvel at your faith or marvel at
00:14:17.746 --> 00:14:19.748
At your faith or marvel at your unbelief.
00:14:19.815 --> 00:14:21.016
Your unbelief. don't let another person talk
00:14:21.083 --> 00:14:23.252
Don't let another person talk you out of what god put in
00:14:23.319 --> 00:14:24.954
You out of what god put in your heart.
00:14:25.020 --> 00:14:25.854
Your heart. believe big.
00:14:25.921 --> 00:14:26.956
Believe big. dream big.
00:14:27.022 --> 00:14:27.923
Dream big. pray big.
00:14:27.990 --> 00:14:29.758
Pray big. god is longing to be good to
00:14:29.825 --> 00:14:31.560
God is longing to be good to you.
00:14:31.627 --> 00:14:32.962
You. he wants to make you an
00:14:33.028 --> 00:14:33.963
He wants to make you an example of his goodness so
00:14:34.029 --> 00:14:36.732
Example of his goodness so everywhere you go, you don't
00:14:36.799 --> 00:14:38.767
Everywhere you go, you don't even have to say anything.
00:14:38.834 --> 00:14:40.369
Even have to say anything. your life is a testimony.
00:14:40.436 --> 00:14:42.404
Your life is a testimony. people look at you and say,
00:14:42.471 --> 00:14:43.739
People look at you and say, "he's blessed."
00:14:43.806 --> 00:14:44.707
"he's blessed." "she's highly favored."
00:14:44.773 --> 00:14:46.008
"she's highly favored." you radiate joy, peace,
00:14:46.075 --> 00:14:47.643
You radiate joy, peace, favor, victory.
00:14:47.710 --> 00:14:49.011
Favor, victory. you're a living testimony.
00:14:49.078 --> 00:14:52.247
You're a living testimony. jesus didn't say to this
00:14:52.314 --> 00:14:53.515
Jesus didn't say to this roman officer, "i'm not gonna
00:14:53.582 --> 00:14:55.517
Roman officer, "i'm not gonna do anything for you.
00:14:55.584 --> 00:14:56.952
Do anything for you. you don't attend my
00:14:57.019 --> 00:14:57.753
You don't attend my synagogue."
00:14:57.820 --> 00:14:59.388
Synagogue." "you don't come to my
00:14:59.455 --> 00:15:00.122
"you don't come to my church," or "you're not my
00:15:00.189 --> 00:15:01.523
Church," or "you're not my nationality."
00:15:01.590 --> 00:15:02.925
Nationality." "you don't look like me.
00:15:02.992 --> 00:15:04.193
"you don't look like me. who do you think you are?"
00:15:04.259 --> 00:15:06.128
Who do you think you are?" none of that made any
00:15:06.195 --> 00:15:07.563
None of that made any difference.
00:15:07.629 --> 00:15:08.497
Difference. all that mattered to jesus
00:15:08.564 --> 00:15:10.566
All that mattered to jesus was this man has great faith.
00:15:10.632 --> 00:15:13.035
Was this man has great faith. "he believes i can do
00:15:13.102 --> 00:15:14.336
"he believes i can do somethin' out of the
00:15:14.403 --> 00:15:15.571
Somethin' out of the ordinary, so i'm gon' show
00:15:15.637 --> 00:15:17.206
Ordinary, so i'm gon' show myself strong in his life."
00:15:17.272 --> 00:15:20.242
Myself strong in his life." you may think that you're not
00:15:20.309 --> 00:15:22.444
You may think that you're not religious enough, that god
00:15:22.511 --> 00:15:24.346
Religious enough, that god would never help you.
00:15:24.413 --> 00:15:25.948
Would never help you. people tell me often, "joel,
00:15:26.015 --> 00:15:27.216
People tell me often, "joel, i watch you, but i'm not a
00:15:27.282 --> 00:15:28.550
I watch you, but i'm not a religious person. i wasn't
00:15:28.617 --> 00:15:30.319
Religious person. i wasn't raised in church like you,"
00:15:30.386 --> 00:15:32.588
Raised in church like you," almost like they're
00:15:32.654 --> 00:15:33.288
Almost like they're apologizing.
00:15:33.355 --> 00:15:34.390
Apologizing. but can i tell ya, god is
00:15:34.456 --> 00:15:36.125
But can i tell ya, god is not lookin' for religion.
00:15:36.191 --> 00:15:38.027
Not lookin' for religion. he's lookin' for people who
00:15:38.093 --> 00:15:39.361
He's lookin' for people who simply believe in him that
00:15:39.428 --> 00:15:41.730
Simply believe in him that know he controls the
00:15:41.797 --> 00:15:42.965
Know he controls the universe, that he can do the
00:15:43.032 --> 00:15:44.400
Universe, that he can do the impossible.
00:15:44.466 --> 00:15:47.136
Impossible. i received an e-mail from
00:15:47.202 --> 00:15:48.170
I received an e-mail from this couple.
00:15:48.237 --> 00:15:49.671
This couple. not long after they were
00:15:49.738 --> 00:15:50.572
Not long after they were married, the husband started
00:15:50.639 --> 00:15:52.374
Married, the husband started havin' problems with his
00:15:52.441 --> 00:15:53.442
Havin' problems with his balance and with his muscle
00:15:53.509 --> 00:15:55.611
Balance and with his muscle control.
00:15:55.677 --> 00:15:56.879
Control. his muscles would tighten up
00:15:56.945 --> 00:15:58.447
His muscles would tighten up so much at night that he
00:15:58.514 --> 00:15:59.615
So much at night that he could barely get out of bed
00:15:59.681 --> 00:16:00.949
Could barely get out of bed in the morning.
00:16:01.016 --> 00:16:02.251
In the morning. his wife would have to help
00:16:02.317 --> 00:16:03.285
His wife would have to help him in the car and sometimes
00:16:03.352 --> 00:16:04.720
Him in the car and sometimes takin' him to work 'cause he
00:16:04.787 --> 00:16:06.155
Takin' him to work 'cause he couldn't drive.
00:16:06.221 --> 00:16:07.556
Couldn't drive. and this kept getting worse
00:16:07.623 --> 00:16:08.757
And this kept getting worse and worse, and it got to the
00:16:08.824 --> 00:16:10.292
And worse, and it got to the place where he could not pick
00:16:10.359 --> 00:16:12.561
Place where he could not pick up their baby daughter.
00:16:12.628 --> 00:16:14.563
Up their baby daughter. he went to the doctor, and
00:16:14.630 --> 00:16:15.964
He went to the doctor, and after many tests, he was
00:16:16.031 --> 00:16:18.033
After many tests, he was diagnosed with a progressive
00:16:18.100 --> 00:16:20.669
Diagnosed with a progressive muscular disease that's
00:16:20.736 --> 00:16:22.671
Muscular disease that's incurable, somethin' like
00:16:22.738 --> 00:16:24.506
Incurable, somethin' like muscular dystrophy.
00:16:24.573 --> 00:16:26.675
Muscular dystrophy. they were devastated.
00:16:26.742 --> 00:16:28.410
They were devastated. at night, the thoughts came
00:16:28.477 --> 00:16:29.511
At night, the thoughts came to the wife, "what if he
00:16:29.578 --> 00:16:31.280
To the wife, "what if he can't work?"
00:16:31.346 --> 00:16:32.681
Can't work?" what if he loses the job, and
00:16:32.748 --> 00:16:34.616
What if he loses the job, and you can't afford the house?
00:16:34.683 --> 00:16:35.751
You can't afford the house? what if he dies?
00:16:35.818 --> 00:16:37.486
What if he dies? your daughter will grow up
00:16:37.553 --> 00:16:38.387
Your daughter will grow up without a father.
00:16:38.454 --> 00:16:40.589
Without a father. and they weren't raised in
00:16:40.656 --> 00:16:41.523
And they weren't raised in church.
00:16:41.590 --> 00:16:42.257
Church. they didn't have any kind of
00:16:42.324 --> 00:16:43.392
They didn't have any kind of religious background, but one
00:16:43.459 --> 00:16:45.594
Religious background, but one night at 3 o'clock in the
00:16:45.661 --> 00:16:46.962
Night at 3 o'clock in the mornin', while she was
00:16:47.029 --> 00:16:48.530
Mornin', while she was massagin' his legs because
00:16:48.597 --> 00:16:50.632
Massagin' his legs because they were in so much pain.
00:16:50.699 --> 00:16:52.401
They were in so much pain. they turned on the
00:16:52.468 --> 00:16:53.202
They turned on the television, and there was our
00:16:53.268 --> 00:16:54.770
Television, and there was our program.
00:16:54.837 --> 00:16:56.004
Program. and as they listened, they
00:16:56.071 --> 00:16:57.606
And as they listened, they heard about the goodness of
00:16:57.673 --> 00:16:58.907
Heard about the goodness of god and how god can do what
00:16:58.974 --> 00:17:00.642
God and how god can do what medicine cannot do, and
00:17:00.709 --> 00:17:02.444
Medicine cannot do, and somethin' ignited on the
00:17:02.511 --> 00:17:03.879
Somethin' ignited on the inside.
00:17:03.946 --> 00:17:05.414
Inside. just so happened a few months
00:17:05.481 --> 00:17:07.483
Just so happened a few months later, our night of hope was
00:17:07.549 --> 00:17:09.451
Later, our night of hope was comin' through their city,
00:17:09.518 --> 00:17:11.253
Comin' through their city, and they attended.
00:17:11.320 --> 00:17:12.287
And they attended. the man could barely make the
00:17:12.354 --> 00:17:14.089
The man could barely make the long walk from the parkin'
00:17:14.156 --> 00:17:15.657
Long walk from the parkin' lot to the auditorium.
00:17:15.724 --> 00:17:17.359
Lot to the auditorium. at the end of the service,
00:17:17.426 --> 00:17:18.760
At the end of the service, they both stood up and gave
00:17:18.827 --> 00:17:20.362
They both stood up and gave their life to christ.
00:17:20.429 --> 00:17:22.030
Their life to christ. the wife said, "in an
00:17:22.097 --> 00:17:23.031
The wife said, "in an instant, we knew our lives
00:17:23.098 --> 00:17:25.868
Instant, we knew our lives were changed forever.
00:17:25.934 --> 00:17:27.402
Were changed forever. we could feel we were
00:17:27.469 --> 00:17:28.403
We could feel we were different on the inside."
00:17:28.470 --> 00:17:30.606
Different on the inside." they started believing that
00:17:30.672 --> 00:17:32.441
They started believing that healing was comin' their way.
00:17:32.508 --> 00:17:34.910
Healing was comin' their way. walkin' back from the
00:17:34.977 --> 00:17:36.311
Walkin' back from the auditorium to the car, she
00:17:36.378 --> 00:17:38.881
Auditorium to the car, she noticed that her husband was
00:17:38.947 --> 00:17:40.649
Noticed that her husband was not in as much pain.
00:17:40.716 --> 00:17:42.518
Not in as much pain. as the weeks went by, the
00:17:42.584 --> 00:17:44.019
As the weeks went by, the symptoms got less and less.
00:17:44.086 --> 00:17:46.188
Symptoms got less and less. last january, they came back
00:17:46.255 --> 00:17:47.990
Last january, they came back to houston for their annual
00:17:48.056 --> 00:17:49.558
To houston for their annual checkup with the same team of
00:17:49.625 --> 00:17:51.560
Checkup with the same team of doctors.
00:17:51.627 --> 00:17:52.728
Doctors. they ran all the tests to get
00:17:52.794 --> 00:17:54.329
They ran all the tests to get the new markers.
00:17:54.396 --> 00:17:55.764
The new markers. the doctors came in baffled.
00:17:55.831 --> 00:17:58.267
The doctors came in baffled. they said, "we can't explain
00:17:58.333 --> 00:17:59.368
They said, "we can't explain it. we've never seen this
00:17:59.434 --> 00:18:00.602
It. we've never seen this happen, but we can't find any
00:18:00.669 --> 00:18:02.404
Happen, but we can't find any sign of that disease."
00:18:02.471 --> 00:18:06.775
Sign of that disease." one of the doctors asked him
00:18:06.842 --> 00:18:08.076
One of the doctors asked him if he had done anything
00:18:08.143 --> 00:18:09.444
If he had done anything differently.
00:18:09.511 --> 00:18:10.779
Differently. he said, "the only thing that
00:18:10.846 --> 00:18:11.847
He said, "the only thing that i've done differently is i
00:18:11.914 --> 00:18:13.315
I've done differently is i gave my life to christ."
00:18:13.382 --> 00:18:15.551
Gave my life to christ." the doctor said, "that's
00:18:15.617 --> 00:18:16.118
The doctor said, "that's the only explanation i can
00:18:16.185 --> 00:18:17.252
The only explanation i can give ya."
00:18:17.319 --> 00:18:18.487
Give ya." but like this roman officer,
00:18:18.554 --> 00:18:21.256
But like this roman officer, they weren't necessarily
00:18:21.323 --> 00:18:22.057
They weren't necessarily religious people, but they
00:18:22.124 --> 00:18:23.559
Religious people, but they dared to believe.
00:18:23.625 --> 00:18:25.694
Dared to believe. it looked impossible, but
00:18:25.761 --> 00:18:27.095
It looked impossible, but they said, "god, we know you
00:18:27.162 --> 00:18:28.764
They said, "god, we know you can do the impossible.
00:18:28.830 --> 00:18:30.165
Can do the impossible. we believe healing is on the
00:18:30.232 --> 00:18:31.633
We believe healing is on the way."
00:18:31.700 --> 00:18:33.001
Way." in the old testament, the
00:18:33.068 --> 00:18:35.003
In the old testament, the israelites had wandered
00:18:35.070 --> 00:18:35.938
Israelites had wandered around in the desert for many
00:18:36.004 --> 00:18:37.439
Around in the desert for many years, and god was about to
00:18:37.506 --> 00:18:39.107
Years, and god was about to take them into the promised
00:18:39.174 --> 00:18:40.909
Take them into the promised land, but there were seven
00:18:40.976 --> 00:18:42.644
Land, but there were seven nations in their path that
00:18:42.711 --> 00:18:44.680
Nations in their path that were much bigger.
00:18:44.746 --> 00:18:46.348
Were much bigger. moses didn't know what they
00:18:46.415 --> 00:18:47.282
Moses didn't know what they were gonna do.
00:18:47.349 --> 00:18:48.617
Were gonna do. in the natural, they could
00:18:48.684 --> 00:18:49.618
In the natural, they could never defeat them.
00:18:49.685 --> 00:18:51.086
Never defeat them. but god said to them in
00:18:51.153 --> 00:18:52.120
But god said to them in deuteronomy 7, "i'm goin' to
00:18:52.187 --> 00:18:54.489
Deuteronomy 7, "i'm goin' to go before you and clear out
00:18:54.556 --> 00:18:57.159
Go before you and clear out these seven nations that are
00:18:57.226 --> 00:18:59.027
These seven nations that are stronger and more powerful
00:18:59.094 --> 00:19:01.029
Stronger and more powerful than you."
00:19:01.096 --> 00:19:02.231
Than you." god is sayin', "you don't
00:19:02.297 --> 00:19:03.932
God is sayin', "you don't have to fight these battles
00:19:03.999 --> 00:19:05.400
Have to fight these battles in your own strength.
00:19:05.467 --> 00:19:06.835
In your own strength. i'm goin' to go before you
00:19:06.902 --> 00:19:07.970
I'm goin' to go before you and clear the path. i'm goin'
00:19:08.036 --> 00:19:10.572
And clear the path. i'm goin' to make things happen you
00:19:10.639 --> 00:19:11.807
To make things happen you couldn't make happen.
00:19:11.873 --> 00:19:13.075
Couldn't make happen. i'm goin' to defeat your
00:19:13.141 --> 00:19:14.276
I'm goin' to defeat your enemies for you."
00:19:14.343 --> 00:19:16.245
Enemies for you." because, like the israelites,
00:19:16.311 --> 00:19:18.413
Because, like the israelites, we all face times when the
00:19:18.480 --> 00:19:20.249
We all face times when the odds are against us.
00:19:20.315 --> 00:19:21.817
Odds are against us. it's easy to think, "this
00:19:21.883 --> 00:19:23.452
It's easy to think, "this incurable muscle disease,
00:19:23.518 --> 00:19:25.520
Incurable muscle disease, this sickness is much bigger,
00:19:25.587 --> 00:19:27.322
This sickness is much bigger, much stronger than me."
00:19:27.389 --> 00:19:28.890
Much stronger than me." "this addiction, these people
00:19:28.957 --> 00:19:30.692
"this addiction, these people comin' against me, they're
00:19:30.759 --> 00:19:31.693
Comin' against me, they're much more powerful."
00:19:31.760 --> 00:19:33.161
Much more powerful." don't worry.
00:19:33.228 --> 00:19:34.162
Don't worry. god is goin' before you right
00:19:34.229 --> 00:19:35.964
God is goin' before you right now, clearin' the path.
00:19:36.031 --> 00:19:38.033
Now, clearin' the path. on your own, you may be
00:19:38.100 --> 00:19:39.401
On your own, you may be outnumbered.
00:19:39.468 --> 00:19:40.469
Outnumbered. what you're up against may be
00:19:40.535 --> 00:19:41.837
What you're up against may be bigger, stronger, more
00:19:41.903 --> 00:19:43.171
Bigger, stronger, more talented, more resources, but
00:19:43.238 --> 00:19:45.274
Talented, more resources, but you're not on your own.
00:19:45.340 --> 00:19:47.042
You're not on your own. the god who controls the
00:19:47.109 --> 00:19:48.577
The god who controls the universe says he would take
00:19:48.644 --> 00:19:50.879
Universe says he would take care of your enemies.
00:19:50.946 --> 00:19:52.481
Care of your enemies. in other words, the cancer
00:19:52.547 --> 00:19:54.216
In other words, the cancer may be stronger than you, but
00:19:54.283 --> 00:19:56.485
May be stronger than you, but it's not stronger than our
00:19:56.551 --> 00:19:57.452
It's not stronger than our god.
00:19:57.519 --> 00:19:58.920
God. that debt may look
00:19:58.987 --> 00:20:00.922
That debt may look insurmountable.
00:20:00.989 --> 00:20:02.324
Insurmountable. you don't see how you could
00:20:02.391 --> 00:20:03.325
You don't see how you could ever get out, but it's no
00:20:03.392 --> 00:20:04.793
Ever get out, but it's no match for our god.
00:20:04.860 --> 00:20:06.828
Match for our god. he owns it all.
00:20:06.895 --> 00:20:08.096
He owns it all. he makes streets out of gold.
00:20:08.163 --> 00:20:09.731
He makes streets out of gold. i talked to a gentleman
00:20:09.798 --> 00:20:10.899
I talked to a gentleman recently.
00:20:10.966 --> 00:20:12.267
Recently. he struggled with a drug
00:20:12.334 --> 00:20:13.635
He struggled with a drug addiction for many years.
00:20:13.702 --> 00:20:15.437
Addiction for many years. he's an executive, has a
00:20:15.504 --> 00:20:16.972
He's an executive, has a great position.
00:20:17.039 --> 00:20:18.006
Great position. nobody knows about it, but
00:20:18.073 --> 00:20:19.441
Nobody knows about it, but the addiction is ruinin' his
00:20:19.508 --> 00:20:20.776
The addiction is ruinin' his life.
00:20:20.842 --> 00:20:21.843
Life. he said, "joel, i feel
00:20:21.910 --> 00:20:22.778
He said, "joel, i feel powerless. i tried
00:20:22.844 --> 00:20:24.046
Powerless. i tried everything. i can't stop."
00:20:24.112 --> 00:20:26.081
Everything. i can't stop." i told him what i'm tellin'
00:20:26.148 --> 00:20:27.249
I told him what i'm tellin' you: on your own, you can't,
00:20:27.316 --> 00:20:29.117
You: on your own, you can't, but you have the god, who
00:20:29.184 --> 00:20:31.053
But you have the god, who spoke worlds into existence,
00:20:31.119 --> 00:20:33.155
Spoke worlds into existence, on your side.
00:20:33.221 --> 00:20:34.356
On your side. instead of sayin', "i can't
00:20:34.423 --> 00:20:35.590
Instead of sayin', "i can't do it," dwellin' on the
00:20:35.657 --> 00:20:37.092
Do it," dwellin' on the negative, all through the
00:20:37.159 --> 00:20:38.393
Negative, all through the day, "father, thank you that
00:20:38.460 --> 00:20:40.162
Day, "father, thank you that you're defeating my enemies.
00:20:40.228 --> 00:20:41.930
You're defeating my enemies. thank you that you're
00:20:41.997 --> 00:20:42.397
Thank you that you're clearin' the path. i know
00:20:42.464 --> 00:20:43.965
Clearin' the path. i know you're stronger than this
00:20:44.032 --> 00:20:45.367
You're stronger than this addiction, more powerful
00:20:45.434 --> 00:20:47.035
Addiction, more powerful than this cancer, bigger than
00:20:47.102 --> 00:20:48.870
Than this cancer, bigger than this debt. lord, thank ya
00:20:48.937 --> 00:20:50.605
This debt. lord, thank ya that healing is comin',
00:20:50.672 --> 00:20:52.107
That healing is comin', wholeness, freedom, victory
00:20:52.174 --> 00:20:53.442
Wholeness, freedom, victory is on the way."
00:20:53.508 --> 00:20:55.444
Is on the way." the scripture puts it this
00:20:55.510 --> 00:20:56.478
The scripture puts it this way: it's not by our might,
00:20:56.545 --> 00:20:59.014
Way: it's not by our might, not by our power, but by the
00:20:59.081 --> 00:21:00.949
Not by our power, but by the spirit of the most-high god.
00:21:01.016 --> 00:21:03.719
Spirit of the most-high god. you don't have to do it on
00:21:03.785 --> 00:21:04.786
You don't have to do it on your own.

May not happen overnight, but as long as you're believin'

That victory is on the way. a young lady we know was in

A young lady we know was in debt $75,000 from her college
00:21:40.956 --> 00:21:44.126
Debt $75,000 from her college education.
00:21:44.192 --> 00:21:45.727

Career, and that debt looks so much bigger, so much
00:21:49.998 --> 00:21:51.199
So much bigger, so much stronger.
00:21:51.266 --> 00:21:52.601
Stronger. in the natural, she'll be

Come. but she heard me talkin'
00:21:55.704 --> 00:21:56.838
But she heard me talkin' about how god wants to
00:21:56.905 --> 00:21:58.306
About how god wants to accelerate things, how he can
00:21:58.373 --> 00:22:00.575
Accelerate things, how he can make it happen faster than we
00:22:00.642 --> 00:22:02.177
Make it happen faster than we think.
00:22:02.244 --> 00:22:03.178
Think. she dared to believe that

She dared to believe that that was for her.
00:22:04.946 --> 00:22:06.281
That was for her. she let the seed take root.
00:22:06.348 --> 00:22:08.483
She let the seed take root. and somethin' told her to
00:22:08.550 --> 00:22:09.751
And somethin' told her to call the school and see if
00:22:09.818 --> 00:22:11.219
Call the school and see if there was any way they could
00:22:11.286 --> 00:22:12.354
There was any way they could help, and they gave her an
00:22:12.421 --> 00:22:13.855
Help, and they gave her an application to get assistance
00:22:13.922 --> 00:22:15.991
Application to get assistance with the debt.

Friends, god can make things happen that we could never

Clearin' the path. that sickness, that
