I have what it says i have. i can do what it says
00:01:14.197 --> 00:01:15.231
I can do what it says i can do.
00:01:15.298 --> 00:01:16.399
I can do. today i will be taught

00:01:25.942 --> 00:01:27.777
In jesus's name." god bless you.
00:01:27.844 --> 00:01:29.612
I want to talk
00:01:29.879 --> 00:01:30.413
I want to talk to you today about
00:01:30.480 --> 00:01:31.414
To you today about the joshua generation.
00:01:31.481 --> 00:01:33.850
The joshua generation. when god delivered the
00:01:33.917 --> 00:01:34.884
When god delivered the israelites out of slavery,
00:01:34.951 --> 00:01:37.220
Moses led them through
00:01:37.420 --> 00:01:38.688
Moses led them through the desert toward
00:01:38.755 --> 00:01:39.956
The desert toward the promised land.
00:01:40.023 --> 00:01:41.858
The promised land. but because they complained
00:01:41.925 --> 00:01:43.526
But because they complained and had wrong mind-sets,
00:01:43.593 --> 00:01:45.361
And had wrong mind-sets, they never went in.
00:01:45.428 --> 00:01:46.996
They never went in. they wandered around for
00:01:47.063 --> 00:01:48.364
They wandered around for 40 years, and they saw
00:01:48.431 --> 00:01:50.400
40 years, and they saw god's goodness in part.
00:01:50.466 --> 00:01:52.402
God's goodness in part. he protected them, gave them
00:01:52.468 --> 00:01:54.370
He protected them, gave them manna to eat each morning,
00:01:54.437 --> 00:01:56.206
Manna to eat each morning, brought water out of a rock,
00:01:56.272 --> 00:01:58.274
Brought water out of a rock, and at times
00:01:58.341 --> 00:01:59.008
And at times they were grateful,
00:01:59.075 --> 00:02:00.243
They were grateful, they thanked god
00:02:00.310 --> 00:02:01.177
They thanked god for what he had done,
00:02:01.244 --> 00:02:02.512
For what he had done, but they only saw
00:02:02.579 --> 00:02:03.713
But they only saw the promised land
00:02:03.780 --> 00:02:04.847
The promised land from a distance.
00:02:04.914 --> 00:02:06.316
From a distance. they only heard about the
00:02:06.382 --> 00:02:07.517
They only heard about the cluster of grapes so large
00:02:07.584 --> 00:02:10.086
Cluster of grapes so large that it took two people to
00:02:10.153 --> 00:02:11.354
That it took two people to carry it, how it was a land
00:02:11.421 --> 00:02:13.356
Carry it, how it was a land flowing with milk and honey.
00:02:13.423 --> 00:02:15.725
Flowing with milk and honey. they dreamed about it.
00:02:15.792 --> 00:02:17.360
They dreamed about it. they believed for it.
00:02:17.427 --> 00:02:18.561
They believed for it. they hoped it would happen,
00:02:18.628 --> 00:02:20.363
They hoped it would happen, but they died without ever
00:02:20.430 --> 00:02:22.232
But they died without ever seeing it come to pass.
00:02:22.298 --> 00:02:24.234
Seeing it come to pass. god raised up a young man
00:02:24.300 --> 00:02:25.835
God raised up a young man named joshua to lead this new
00:02:25.902 --> 00:02:28.438
Named joshua to lead this new generation, the children
00:02:28.504 --> 00:02:31.007
Generation, the children of the first group
00:02:31.074 --> 00:02:31.908
Of the first group that had died.
00:02:31.975 --> 00:02:33.376
That had died. they had a different
00:02:33.443 --> 00:02:34.377
They had a different mind-set.
00:02:34.444 --> 00:02:35.812
Mind-set. they didn't wander around
00:02:35.878 --> 00:02:37.347
They didn't wander around another 40 years.
00:02:37.413 --> 00:02:38.881
Another 40 years. they went in to
00:02:38.948 --> 00:02:39.882
They went in to the promised land.
00:02:39.949 --> 00:02:41.417
The promised land. they took new ground.
00:02:41.484 --> 00:02:43.453
They took new ground. their parents only made it
00:02:43.519 --> 00:02:44.921
Their parents only made it up to the border.
00:02:44.988 --> 00:02:46.322
Up to the border. they camped next door.
00:02:46.389 --> 00:02:48.124
They camped next door. they could see the cluster of
00:02:48.191 --> 00:02:49.726
They could see the cluster of grapes, but joshua and his
00:02:49.792 --> 00:02:51.961
Grapes, but joshua and his people tasted the grapes.
00:02:52.028 --> 00:02:54.564
People tasted the grapes. they didn't just hear about
00:02:54.631 --> 00:02:55.565
They didn't just hear about the land of milk and honey,
00:02:55.632 --> 00:02:57.333
The land of milk and honey, they lived in the land
00:02:57.400 --> 00:02:58.601
They lived in the land of milk and honey.
00:02:58.668 --> 00:03:00.203
Of milk and honey. all their parents dreamed
00:03:00.270 --> 00:03:01.638
All their parents dreamed about, the provision,
00:03:01.704 --> 00:03:03.573
About, the provision, the peace, the abundance,
00:03:03.640 --> 00:03:05.308
The peace, the abundance, the joshua generation
00:03:05.375 --> 00:03:07.043
The joshua generation experienced, and sometimes
00:03:07.110 --> 00:03:09.379
Experienced, and sometimes thoughts will tell you what
00:03:09.445 --> 00:03:10.813
Thoughts will tell you what you're dreaming about will
00:03:10.880 --> 00:03:12.282
You're dreaming about will always only be a dream,
00:03:12.348 --> 00:03:14.717
Always only be a dream, just a hope, a wish.
00:03:14.784 --> 00:03:16.886
Just a hope, a wish. others in your family tried
00:03:16.953 --> 00:03:18.521
Others in your family tried to get ahead.
00:03:18.588 --> 00:03:19.722
To get ahead. they tried to start
00:03:19.789 --> 00:03:20.590
They tried to start the business, tried to break
00:03:20.657 --> 00:03:22.125
The business, tried to break the addiction.
00:03:22.191 --> 00:03:23.326
The addiction. they couldn't do it,
00:03:23.393 --> 00:03:24.360
They couldn't do it, and neither will you.
00:03:24.427 --> 00:03:26.162
And neither will you. that would be true
00:03:26.229 --> 00:03:27.030
That would be true if you were with moses
00:03:27.096 --> 00:03:29.565
If you were with moses and the first group.
00:03:29.632 --> 00:03:31.134
And the first group. the good news is,
00:03:31.200 --> 00:03:32.235
The good news is, you are a part
00:03:32.302 --> 00:03:33.670
You are a part of the joshua generation.
00:03:33.736 --> 00:03:36.005
Of the joshua generation. you are not going to just
00:03:36.072 --> 00:03:37.240
You are not going to just dream the dream.
00:03:37.307 --> 00:03:38.574
Dream the dream. you're going to live
00:03:38.641 --> 00:03:39.409
You're going to live your dream.
00:03:39.475 --> 00:03:40.443
Your dream. you're going to go where no
00:03:40.510 --> 00:03:42.111
You're going to go where no one in your family has gone.
00:03:42.178 --> 00:03:44.814
One in your family has gone. they may have believed
00:03:44.881 --> 00:03:45.848
They may have believed for it.
00:03:45.915 --> 00:03:46.749
For it. they stood in faith.
00:03:46.816 --> 00:03:48.084
They stood in faith. it didn't happen.
00:03:48.151 --> 00:03:49.252
It didn't happen. they laid the foundation.
00:03:49.319 --> 00:03:51.454
They laid the foundation. you're going to be the one
00:03:51.521 --> 00:03:52.922
You're going to be the one to see the fulfillment.
00:03:52.989 --> 00:03:54.724
To see the fulfillment. david said, "taste and see
00:03:54.791 --> 00:03:57.360
David said, "taste and see that the lord is good."
00:03:57.427 --> 00:03:59.095
That the lord is good." you're going to taste the
00:03:59.162 --> 00:04:00.029
You're going to taste the grapes, taste the abundance,
00:04:00.096 --> 00:04:02.432
Grapes, taste the abundance, taste the freedom.
00:04:02.498 --> 00:04:04.167
Taste the freedom. this is a year where you're
00:04:04.233 --> 00:04:06.002
This is a year where you're going to take new ground,
00:04:06.069 --> 00:04:08.004
Going to take new ground, new ground in your finances,
00:04:08.071 --> 00:04:10.440
New ground in your finances, new ground in your health,
00:04:10.506 --> 00:04:12.241
New ground in your health, new ground in relationships,
00:04:12.308 --> 00:04:15.011
New ground in relationships, areas that looked
00:04:15.078 --> 00:04:16.012
Areas that looked like you were stuck.
00:04:16.079 --> 00:04:16.879
Like you were stuck. it's been that way
00:04:16.946 --> 00:04:18.081
It's been that way a long time.
00:04:18.147 --> 00:04:19.048
A long time. it will never change.
00:04:19.115 --> 00:04:20.316
It will never change. things are shifting.
00:04:20.383 --> 00:04:22.085
Things are shifting. favor is coming in a new way.
00:04:22.151 --> 00:04:24.787
Favor is coming in a new way. breakthroughs, promotion,
00:04:24.854 --> 00:04:26.923
Breakthroughs, promotion, the right people.
00:04:26.989 --> 00:04:28.324
The right people. god is about to do something
00:04:28.391 --> 00:04:30.493
God is about to do something that you've never seen,
00:04:30.560 --> 00:04:32.128
That you've never seen, unprecedented,
00:04:32.195 --> 00:04:33.563
Unprecedented, out of the ordinary.
00:04:33.629 --> 00:04:35.231
Out of the ordinary. "well, joel, this sounds
00:04:35.298 --> 00:04:36.165
"well, joel, this sounds encouraging today,
00:04:36.232 --> 00:04:37.266
Encouraging today, but i don't know how
00:04:37.333 --> 00:04:38.401
But i don't know how it could happen for me."
00:04:38.468 --> 00:04:39.969
It could happen for me." that's what joshua and his
00:04:40.036 --> 00:04:41.471
That's what joshua and his generation thought.
00:04:41.537 --> 00:04:43.172
Generation thought. all they had seen was
00:04:43.239 --> 00:04:44.440
All they had seen was wandering around in a desert.
00:04:44.507 --> 00:04:46.609
Wandering around in a desert. they were born out there.
00:04:46.676 --> 00:04:48.578
They were born out there. they grew up as nomads,
00:04:48.644 --> 00:04:50.613
They grew up as nomads, people without a home,
00:04:50.680 --> 00:04:52.115
People without a home, struggling to survive,
00:04:52.181 --> 00:04:53.850
Struggling to survive, fighting off bandits.
00:04:53.916 --> 00:04:55.318
Fighting off bandits. that was their way of life,
00:04:55.385 --> 00:04:56.652
That was their way of life, and when they came to
00:04:56.719 --> 00:04:58.287
And when they came to jericho, the city that stood
00:04:58.354 --> 00:05:00.723
Jericho, the city that stood between them and the promised
00:05:00.790 --> 00:05:02.692
Between them and the promised land, there was
00:05:02.759 --> 00:05:04.093
Land, there was a 30-foot-high wall that
00:05:04.160 --> 00:05:06.429
A 30-foot-high wall that surrounded the city.
00:05:06.496 --> 00:05:08.364
It was so thick, chariots
00:05:08.631 --> 00:05:10.233
It was so thick, chariots would run on top of the wall
00:05:10.299 --> 00:05:11.734
Would run on top of the wall to protect the people
00:05:11.801 --> 00:05:13.536
To protect the people and watch for enemies.
00:05:13.603 --> 00:05:15.271
And watch for enemies. the people of jericho
00:05:15.338 --> 00:05:16.606
The people of jericho were skilled warriors.

00:10:48.237 --> 00:10:50.072
The compaq center." this building wasn't
00:10:50.139 --> 00:10:51.474
This building wasn't for sale.
00:10:51.540 --> 00:10:52.608
For sale. the rockets basketball team
00:10:52.675 --> 00:10:54.310
The rockets basketball team had a long-term lease.
00:10:54.376 --> 00:10:56.245
Had a long-term lease. he'd never said that before.
00:10:56.312 --> 00:10:58.214
He'd never said that before. we had an 8,000-seat
00:10:58.280 --> 00:10:59.715
We had an 8,000-seat auditorium, plenty of room,
00:10:59.782 --> 00:11:02.218
Auditorium, plenty of room, but god put that seed
00:11:02.284 --> 00:11:04.019
But god put that seed in his spirit, not for his
00:11:04.086 --> 00:11:05.921
In his spirit, not for his generation, but for our
00:11:05.988 --> 00:11:07.389
Generation, but for our generation.
00:11:07.456 --> 00:11:08.657
Generation. he dreamed of it,
00:11:08.724 --> 00:11:09.992
He dreamed of it, but we're living it.
00:11:10.059 --> 00:11:12.161
But we're living it. there are things that your
00:11:12.228 --> 00:11:14.363
There are things that your parents, those that went
00:11:14.430 --> 00:11:15.431
Parents, those that went before you, believed for,
00:11:15.498 --> 00:11:17.800
Before you, believed for, they dreamed about.
00:11:17.867 --> 00:11:19.468
They dreamed about. some wonder why
00:11:19.535 --> 00:11:20.369
Some wonder why they didn't happen,
00:11:20.436 --> 00:11:21.537
They didn't happen, why the doors didn't open.
00:11:21.604 --> 00:11:23.372
Why the doors didn't open. it's because god ordained
00:11:23.439 --> 00:11:25.608
It's because god ordained them to open for you.
00:11:25.674 --> 00:11:27.710
Them to open for you. they laid the foundation.
00:11:27.777 --> 00:11:29.779
They laid the foundation. now god is about to release
00:11:29.845 --> 00:11:31.847
Now god is about to release what he promised.
00:11:31.914 --> 00:11:33.315
What he promised. you're about to step in
00:11:33.382 --> 00:11:34.416
You're about to step in to favor that you
00:11:34.483 --> 00:11:35.618
To favor that you didn't work for.
00:11:35.684 --> 00:11:36.819
Didn't work for. it's because you're the
00:11:36.886 --> 00:11:38.254
It's because you're the joshua generation.
00:11:38.320 --> 00:11:40.055
Joshua generation. you're the one
00:11:40.122 --> 00:11:40.689
You're the one to take new ground.
00:11:40.756 --> 00:11:42.525
When i heard the
00:11:42.792 --> 00:11:43.459
When i heard the compaq center was coming
00:11:43.526 --> 00:11:44.727
Compaq center was coming available, something came
00:11:44.794 --> 00:11:46.629
Available, something came alive on the inside.
00:11:46.695 --> 00:11:48.731
Alive on the inside. i didn't know that my father
00:11:48.798 --> 00:11:50.166
I didn't know that my father had talked about it until
00:11:50.232 --> 00:11:51.400
Had talked about it until many years later, but that
00:11:51.467 --> 00:11:53.402
Many years later, but that seed was in my spirit just
00:11:53.469 --> 00:11:55.604
Seed was in my spirit just like it was in my father's,
00:11:55.671 --> 00:11:56.806
Like it was in my father's, and everything you need to
00:11:56.872 --> 00:11:59.642
And everything you need to take new ground has already
00:11:59.708 --> 00:12:01.777
Been lined up.
00:12:01.977 --> 00:12:03.512
Been lined up. and yes, we have to do
00:12:03.579 --> 00:12:04.480
And yes, we have to do our part, pray, believe,
00:12:04.547 --> 00:12:05.915
Our part, pray, believe, stay in faith.
00:12:05.981 --> 00:12:06.816
Stay in faith. but what i'm talking about
00:12:06.882 --> 00:12:09.285
But what i'm talking about is not going to happen
00:12:09.351 --> 00:12:10.686
Is not going to happen by your own efforts,
00:12:10.753 --> 00:12:12.454
By your own efforts, your own ability.
00:12:12.521 --> 00:12:14.123
Your own ability. if you can do it by yourself,
00:12:14.190 --> 00:12:16.292
If you can do it by yourself, it's not the new ground.
00:12:16.358 --> 00:12:18.160
It's not the new ground. what god has in store is too
00:12:18.227 --> 00:12:20.496
What god has in store is too big, too expensive, too far
00:12:20.563 --> 00:12:23.098
Big, too expensive, too far out, too complicated.
00:12:23.165 --> 00:12:25.401
Out, too complicated. the compaq center was far
00:12:25.467 --> 00:12:27.469
The compaq center was far beyond what i imagined.
00:12:27.536 --> 00:12:30.005
Beyond what i imagined. in my mind, it didn't make
00:12:30.072 --> 00:12:31.607
In my mind, it didn't make sense, but in my spirit, i
00:12:31.674 --> 00:12:34.176
Sense, but in my spirit, i knew we were supposed to
00:12:34.243 --> 00:12:35.311
Knew we were supposed to pursue it, and this building
00:12:35.377 --> 00:12:37.479
Pursue it, and this building was owned by the city,
00:12:37.546 --> 00:12:39.148
Was owned by the city, so i called the mayor.
00:12:39.215 --> 00:12:41.083
Here's how amazing god is.
00:12:41.350 --> 00:12:43.152
Here's how amazing god is. twenty years before lee brown
00:12:43.219 --> 00:12:45.888
Twenty years before lee brown was the mayor of houston,
00:12:45.955 --> 00:12:47.590
Was the mayor of houston, he was the first
00:12:47.656 --> 00:12:48.591
He was the first african-american
00:12:48.657 --> 00:12:49.692
African-american police chief.
00:12:49.758 --> 00:12:51.227
Police chief. when he came to town, my
00:12:51.293 --> 00:12:52.761
When he came to town, my parents went to a reception
00:12:52.828 --> 00:12:54.730
To welcome him.
00:12:54.964 --> 00:12:56.165
To welcome him. i was a teenager.
00:12:56.232 --> 00:12:57.666
I was a teenager. i remember that night asking
00:12:57.733 --> 00:12:59.268
I remember that night asking my parents where they
00:12:59.335 --> 00:13:00.469
My parents where they were going.
00:13:00.536 --> 00:13:01.470
Were going. they said, "to welcome
00:13:01.537 --> 00:13:02.137
They said, "to welcome the new police chief."
00:13:02.204 --> 00:13:04.039
I asked when they had
00:13:04.306 --> 00:13:04.974
I asked when they had met him.
00:13:05.040 --> 00:13:05.875
Met him. they said they had never
00:13:05.941 --> 00:13:06.809
They said they had never met him.
00:13:06.876 --> 00:13:07.843
Met him. i asked who invited them.
00:13:07.910 --> 00:13:09.578
I asked who invited them. they said no one had
00:13:09.645 --> 00:13:10.613
They said no one had invited them.
00:13:10.679 --> 00:13:11.814
Invited them. they were just going on their
00:13:11.881 --> 00:13:12.882
They were just going on their own to make sure he felt
00:13:12.948 --> 00:13:14.817
Own to make sure he felt welcome and to let him know
00:13:14.884 --> 00:13:16.886
Welcome and to let him know that lakewood was praying
00:13:16.952 --> 00:13:17.920
That lakewood was praying for him.
00:13:17.987 --> 00:13:18.921
For him. at 18 years old, that made
00:13:18.988 --> 00:13:20.789
At 18 years old, that made such an impression on me.
00:13:20.856 --> 00:13:22.725
I thought,
00:13:22.992 --> 00:13:23.492
I thought, "they didn't have to go.
00:13:23.559 --> 00:13:24.360
"they didn't have to go. nobody invited them.
00:13:24.426 --> 00:13:25.694
Nobody invited them. why are they going?"
00:13:25.761 --> 00:13:26.996
Why are they going?" they were simply sowing
00:13:27.062 --> 00:13:28.330
They were simply sowing a seed of kindness.
00:13:28.397 --> 00:13:30.232
A seed of kindness. what my parents didn't know
00:13:30.299 --> 00:13:31.634
What my parents didn't know that night was,22 years
00:13:31.700 --> 00:13:33.669
That night was,22 years later i would call him,
00:13:33.736 --> 00:13:35.938
Later i would call him, now the mayor of houston,
00:13:36.005 --> 00:13:37.840
Now the mayor of houston, and ask about us purchasing
00:13:37.907 --> 00:13:39.675
And ask about us purchasing the compaq center.
00:13:39.742 --> 00:13:41.210
The compaq center. when i did, mayor brown said,
00:13:41.277 --> 00:13:42.511
When i did, mayor brown said, "joel, i think lakewood
00:13:42.578 --> 00:13:44.113
"joel, i think lakewood having the compaq center
00:13:44.179 --> 00:13:45.547
Having the compaq center would be great for the city
00:13:45.614 --> 00:13:47.216
Would be great for the city of houston."
00:13:47.283 --> 00:13:47.883
Of houston." but had my parents not made
00:13:47.950 --> 00:13:50.286
But had my parents not made that connection, had they not
00:13:50.352 --> 00:13:52.655
That connection, had they not developed that friendship
00:13:52.721 --> 00:13:53.923
Developed that friendship years earlier, maybe he
00:13:53.989 --> 00:13:55.958
Years earlier, maybe he wouldn't have taken my call.
00:13:56.025 --> 00:13:57.793
Wouldn't have taken my call. maybe he wouldn't have been
00:13:57.860 --> 00:13:58.694
Maybe he wouldn't have been favorable to us.
00:13:58.761 --> 00:13:59.795
Favorable to us. maybe we wouldn't be here.
00:13:59.862 --> 00:14:01.530
Maybe we wouldn't be here. my parents sowed the seed,
00:14:01.597 --> 00:14:03.432
My parents sowed the seed, and i reaped the harvest.
00:14:03.499 --> 00:14:05.367
What am i saying?
00:14:05.634 --> 00:14:06.535
What am i saying? god has it all figured out.
00:14:06.602 --> 00:14:08.437
God has it all figured out. you're not going to have
00:14:08.504 --> 00:14:09.271
You're not going to have to manipulate things,
00:14:09.338 --> 00:14:11.607
To manipulate things, try to force doors to open.
00:14:11.674 --> 00:14:14.009
Try to force doors to open. what god has coming your way
00:14:14.076 --> 00:14:16.478
What god has coming your way has been in the works
00:14:16.545 --> 00:14:17.479
Has been in the works for a long time,
00:14:17.546 --> 00:14:19.114
For a long time, before you were born.
00:14:19.181 --> 00:14:21.050
It's so big, so amazing,
00:14:21.317 --> 00:14:23.485
It's so big, so amazing, you couldn't accomplish it
00:14:23.552 --> 00:14:24.787
You couldn't accomplish it on your own.
00:14:24.853 --> 00:14:26.155
On your own. he's been working behind the
00:14:26.221 --> 00:14:27.723
He's been working behind the scenes, generations back,
00:14:27.790 --> 00:14:30.526
Scenes, generations back, getting everything lined up
00:14:30.592 --> 00:14:32.328
Getting everything lined up for this time, to take you
00:14:32.394 --> 00:14:34.363
For this time, to take you into a place that you've
00:14:34.430 --> 00:14:36.131
Into a place that you've never imagined, opportunity
00:14:36.198 --> 00:14:38.267
Never imagined, opportunity bigger, influence greater,
00:14:38.334 --> 00:14:40.803
Bigger, influence greater, blessed, prosperous, healthy,
00:14:40.869 --> 00:14:42.805
Blessed, prosperous, healthy, whole, so you can be an
00:14:42.871 --> 00:14:44.573
Whole, so you can be an example of his goodness,
00:14:44.640 --> 00:14:46.842
Example of his goodness, so you can shine brightly
00:14:46.909 --> 00:14:48.444
So you can shine brightly wherever you go.
00:14:48.510 --> 00:14:50.045
Wherever you go. god has been breathing on
00:14:50.112 --> 00:14:52.047
God has been breathing on your family line even when
00:14:52.114 --> 00:14:53.716
Your family line even when you didn't know it.
00:14:53.782 --> 00:14:55.050
You didn't know it. he has arranged things so
00:14:55.117 --> 00:14:56.952
He has arranged things so that you can take new ground,
00:14:57.019 --> 00:14:59.488
That you can take new ground, step into new levels,
00:14:59.555 --> 00:15:01.090
Step into new levels, set new standards.
00:15:01.156 --> 00:15:03.025
My father always
00:15:03.225 --> 00:15:04.426
My father always built auditoriums.
00:15:04.493 --> 00:15:05.728
Built auditoriums. we had large sanctuaries,
00:15:05.794 --> 00:15:07.963
We had large sanctuaries, but the compaq center
00:15:08.030 --> 00:15:09.164
But the compaq center is new ground.
00:15:09.231 --> 00:15:11.433
Is new ground. i don't know of any church
00:15:11.500 --> 00:15:12.601
I don't know of any church that's bought
00:15:12.668 --> 00:15:13.268
That's bought a basketball arena.
00:15:13.335 --> 00:15:14.403
A basketball arena. this is unprecedented,
00:15:14.470 --> 00:15:16.405
This is unprecedented, and what god is going to do
00:15:16.472 --> 00:15:18.007
And what god is going to do in your life is not going
00:15:18.073 --> 00:15:19.708
In your life is not going to be ordinary.
00:15:19.775 --> 00:15:20.876
To be ordinary. it's going to be unusual,
00:15:20.943 --> 00:15:22.911
It's going to be unusual, what you haven't seen.
00:15:22.978 --> 00:15:25.414
What you haven't seen. "well, joel, this sounds kind
00:15:25.481 --> 00:15:27.116
"well, joel, this sounds kind of far out."
00:15:27.182 --> 00:15:28.283
Of far out." it's because we serve
00:15:28.350 --> 00:15:29.451
It's because we serve a far-out god.
00:15:29.518 --> 00:15:31.320
A far-out god. it's far out to be having
00:15:31.387 --> 00:15:32.721
It's far out to be having church in the compaq center.
00:15:32.788 --> 00:15:34.890
It's far out that walls came
00:15:35.124 --> 00:15:36.725
It's far out that walls came down with no opposition.
00:15:36.792 --> 00:15:38.761
Down with no opposition. it's far out that my parents
00:15:38.827 --> 00:15:40.729
It's far out that my parents befriended a stranger
00:15:40.796 --> 00:15:42.631
Befriended a stranger and years later he helped us
00:15:42.698 --> 00:15:44.600
And years later he helped us get this facility.
00:15:44.666 --> 00:15:46.235
Get this facility. that's what happens when
00:15:46.301 --> 00:15:47.770
That's what happens when you're the joshua generation.
00:15:47.836 --> 00:15:49.972
You're the joshua generation. far-out things chase
00:15:50.039 --> 00:15:51.240
Far-out things chase you down.
00:15:51.306 --> 00:15:52.441
You down. watch and see what god
00:15:52.508 --> 00:15:54.410
Watch and see what god is about to do.
00:15:54.476 --> 00:15:55.778
Is about to do. watch him show out
00:15:55.844 --> 00:15:56.912
Watch him show out in your life.
00:15:56.979 --> 00:15:57.646
In your life. watch him connect the dots,
00:15:57.713 --> 00:16:00.149
Watch him connect the dots, direct your steps, take you
00:16:00.215 --> 00:16:01.917
Direct your steps, take you where you couldn't go on your
00:16:01.984 --> 00:16:03.285
Where you couldn't go on your own, and god wants you to not
00:16:03.352 --> 00:16:05.521
Own, and god wants you to not only take new ground in your
00:16:05.587 --> 00:16:07.589
Only take new ground in your family, but to take new
00:16:07.656 --> 00:16:09.558
Family, but to take new ground in your field of work,
00:16:09.625 --> 00:16:12.294

His office received a call about an executive that had
00:17:23.832 --> 00:17:25.367
About an executive that had returned home from overseas

And wasn't feeling well. he continued to get worse.
00:17:29.471 --> 00:17:31.240
He continued to get worse. before they knew it,
00:17:31.306 --> 00:17:32.841
Before they knew it, his health had gone down
00:17:32.908 --> 00:17:34.009
His health had gone down so quickly, he was in a coma,
00:17:34.076 --> 00:17:36.512
So quickly, he was in a coma, couldn't speak or talk.
00:17:36.578 --> 00:17:38.447
His organs were starting
00:17:38.714 --> 00:17:39.648
His organs were starting to shut down.
00:17:39.715 --> 00:17:40.716
To shut down. dr. price rushed back
00:17:40.782 --> 00:17:41.884
Dr. price rushed back to the hospital.
00:17:41.950 --> 00:17:43.085
To the hospital. he discovered the man
00:17:43.152 --> 00:17:44.119
He discovered the man had malaria.
00:17:44.186 --> 00:17:45.754
Had malaria. the infection was spreading
00:17:45.821 --> 00:17:47.189
The infection was spreading so rapidly to the other cells
00:17:47.256 --> 00:17:49.591
So rapidly to the other cells that another few hours
00:17:49.658 --> 00:17:50.926
That another few hours and he would die.
00:17:50.993 --> 00:17:52.361
And he would die. the problem was, dr. price
00:17:52.427 --> 00:17:54.496
The problem was, dr. price didn't have the stronger
00:17:54.563 --> 00:17:55.831
Didn't have the stronger malaria medicine
00:17:55.898 --> 00:17:57.332
Malaria medicine that he needed.
00:17:57.399 --> 00:17:58.567
That he needed. you have to get it from the
00:17:58.634 --> 00:17:59.535
You have to get it from the center for disease control.
00:17:59.601 --> 00:18:01.503
He didn't have time to wait.
00:18:01.703 --> 00:18:03.071
He didn't have time to wait. the man literally had
00:18:03.138 --> 00:18:04.406
The man literally had a few hours to live.
00:18:04.473 --> 00:18:06.241
A few hours to live. he prayed for god to give him
00:18:06.308 --> 00:18:07.843
He prayed for god to give him wisdom to show him how
00:18:07.910 --> 00:18:09.244
Wisdom to show him how to treat the man.
00:18:09.311 --> 00:18:10.712
To treat the man. he decided to do what's
00:18:10.779 --> 00:18:12.147
He decided to do what's called an exchange
00:18:12.214 --> 00:18:13.682
Called an exchange transfusion.
00:18:13.749 --> 00:18:15.117
Transfusion. that's where you take all
00:18:15.184 --> 00:18:16.485
That's where you take all the patient's blood out
00:18:16.552 --> 00:18:18.387
The patient's blood out and put new blood back in.
00:18:18.453 --> 00:18:20.556
And put new blood back in. it's an unusual process, but
00:18:20.622 --> 00:18:22.324
It's an unusual process, but he had no other options.
00:18:22.391 --> 00:18:24.259
The first time they exchanged
00:18:24.459 --> 00:18:25.794
The first time they exchanged the blood, the infection went
00:18:25.861 --> 00:18:27.896
The blood, the infection went from 20% down to just over
00:18:27.963 --> 00:18:30.365
From 20% down to just over 6%, a remarkable improvement,
00:18:30.432 --> 00:18:33.802
6%, a remarkable improvement, but anything over 5%
00:18:33.869 --> 00:18:36.138
But anything over 5% is lethal.
00:18:36.205 --> 00:18:37.372
Is lethal. he had a long way to go.
00:18:37.439 --> 00:18:39.174
He had a long way to go. dr. price stayed there
00:18:39.241 --> 00:18:40.309
Dr. price stayed there all night.
00:18:40.375 --> 00:18:41.109
All night. they did the exchange
00:18:41.176 --> 00:18:42.311
They did the exchange two more times.
00:18:42.377 --> 00:18:43.879
Two more times. that wednesday, the man
00:18:43.946 --> 00:18:45.814
That wednesday, the man woke up from his coma.
00:18:45.881 --> 00:18:47.883
Woke up from his coma. his organs started
00:18:47.950 --> 00:18:48.917
His organs started functioning properly.
00:18:48.984 --> 00:18:50.552
Functioning properly. on friday, a week after he
00:18:50.619 --> 00:18:52.921
On friday, a week after he was admitted, he not only
00:18:52.988 --> 00:18:54.656
Was admitted, he not only walked out of the hospital
00:18:54.723 --> 00:18:56.558
With no infection,
00:18:56.792 --> 00:18:57.960
With no infection, but he didn't have any
00:18:58.026 --> 00:18:58.961
But he didn't have any further complications.
00:18:59.027 --> 00:19:00.796
Further complications. dr. price said he had never
00:19:00.862 --> 00:19:02.731
Dr. price said he had never seen anyone recover from such
00:19:02.798 --> 00:19:05.133
Seen anyone recover from such a severe case of malaria.
00:19:05.200 --> 00:19:07.836
A severe case of malaria. that was god helping
00:19:07.903 --> 00:19:09.605
That was god helping dr. price to take new ground,
00:19:09.671 --> 00:19:11.506
Dr. price to take new ground, and when you're a part
00:19:11.573 --> 00:19:13.442
And when you're a part of the joshua generation,

Of the joshua generation, you're going to have wisdom
00:19:15.711 --> 00:19:17.246
You're going to have wisdom that goes beyond your
00:19:17.312 --> 00:19:18.313
That goes beyond your normal understanding,
00:19:18.380 --> 00:19:20.215
Normal understanding, beyond what you learned
00:19:20.282 --> 00:19:21.416
Beyond what you learned in school, ideas,
00:19:21.483 --> 00:19:23.318
In school, ideas, creativity, strategy,
00:19:23.385 --> 00:19:25.721
Creativity, strategy, inventions that defy
00:19:25.787 --> 00:19:27.689
Inventions that defy the odds.
00:19:27.756 --> 00:19:28.957
The odds. you're going to have ability,
00:19:29.024 --> 00:19:30.792
You're going to have ability, opportunity, influence
00:19:30.859 --> 00:19:32.728
Opportunity, influence to where you know
00:19:32.794 --> 00:19:33.762
To where you know it's the hand of god.
00:19:33.829 --> 00:19:35.397
It's the hand of god. you know it's his favor
00:19:35.464 --> 00:19:37.132
You know it's his favor taking you where you couldn't
00:19:37.199 --> 00:19:38.233
Taking you where you couldn't go on your own.
00:19:38.300 --> 00:19:40.002
Go on your own. psalm 110 says: "the lord
00:19:40.068 --> 00:19:42.137
Psalm 110 says: "the lord will extend your dominion
00:19:42.204 --> 00:19:44.273
Will extend your dominion from jerusalem.
00:19:44.339 --> 00:19:45.841
From jerusalem. you will rule over
00:19:45.907 --> 00:19:46.975
You will rule over your enemies."
00:19:47.042 --> 00:19:48.410
Your enemies." jerusalem was their home.
00:19:48.477 --> 00:19:50.479
Jerusalem was their home. they were used to having
00:19:50.545 --> 00:19:51.480
They were used to having protection, favor,
00:19:51.546 --> 00:19:53.015
Protection, favor, blessing there.
00:19:53.081 --> 00:19:54.082
Blessing there. that was normal.
00:19:54.149 --> 00:19:55.517
That was normal. but god said, "i'm about
00:19:55.584 --> 00:19:57.419
But god said, "i'm about to do something unusual,
00:19:57.486 --> 00:19:59.521
To do something unusual, out of the ordinary.
00:19:59.588 --> 00:20:01.056
Out of the ordinary. i'm going to increase you
00:20:01.123 --> 00:20:02.958
I'm going to increase you beyond what you're used to.
00:20:03.025 --> 00:20:05.160
Beyond what you're used to. i'm going to take you beyond
00:20:05.227 --> 00:20:06.728
I'm going to take you beyond what you've seen in the past.
00:20:06.795 --> 00:20:08.497
What you've seen in the past. i'm going to give you
00:20:08.563 --> 00:20:09.364
I'm going to give you new ground.
00:20:09.431 --> 00:20:11.199
New ground. god is saying that to you,
00:20:11.266 --> 00:20:13.068
God is saying that to you, "i'm about to extend your
00:20:13.135 --> 00:20:14.603
"i'm about to extend your dominion, extend your income,
00:20:14.670 --> 00:20:17.739
Dominion, extend your income, extend your influence,
00:20:17.806 --> 00:20:19.474
Extend your influence, extend your wisdom,
00:20:19.541 --> 00:20:21.043
Extend your wisdom, extend your talent,
00:20:21.109 --> 00:20:22.411
Extend your talent, extend your anointing."
00:20:22.477 --> 00:20:24.446
Extend your anointing." you may have been blessed
00:20:24.513 --> 00:20:25.747
You may have been blessed in the past, but you
00:20:25.814 --> 00:20:27.049
In the past, but you haven't seen anything yet.
00:20:27.115 --> 00:20:28.917
Haven't seen anything yet. god is about to enlarge
00:20:28.984 --> 00:20:30.852
God is about to enlarge your territory.
00:20:30.919 --> 00:20:32.754
He is going to give you
00:20:32.988 --> 00:20:33.922
He is going to give you ground that you
00:20:33.989 --> 00:20:35.357
Ground that you didn't grow up with.
00:20:35.424 --> 00:20:37.292
Didn't grow up with. it says, "the lord will
00:20:37.359 --> 00:20:39.194
It says, "the lord will extend your dominion."
00:20:39.261 --> 00:20:40.829
Extend your dominion." again, you don't have
00:20:40.896 --> 00:20:41.697
Again, you don't have to make this happen
00:20:41.763 --> 00:20:42.698
To make this happen in your own efforts.
00:20:42.764 --> 00:20:43.899
In your own efforts. just keep honoring god.
00:20:43.965 --> 00:20:45.801
Just keep honoring god. keep him first place, and god
00:20:45.867 --> 00:20:48.203
Keep him first place, and god is going to open doors
00:20:48.270 --> 00:20:49.571
Is going to open doors that you didn't see coming.
00:20:49.638 --> 00:20:51.440
That you didn't see coming. you're going to think,
00:20:51.506 --> 00:20:52.107
You're going to think, "how did i get here?
00:20:52.174 --> 00:20:53.442
"how did i get here? how did i take
00:20:53.508 --> 00:20:54.109
How did i take all this ground?
00:20:54.176 --> 00:20:55.243
All this ground? how did we end up in
00:20:55.310 --> 00:20:56.178
How did we end up in the compaq center?"
00:20:56.244 --> 00:20:57.279
The compaq center?" it was the lord extending
00:20:57.346 --> 00:20:59.247
Our dominion.
00:20:59.481 --> 00:21:01.283
Our dominion. where you are is not your
00:21:01.350 --> 00:21:04.019
Where you are is not your final destination.
00:21:04.086 --> 00:21:05.053
Final destination. it is not where
00:21:05.120 --> 00:21:05.754
It is not where you're staying.
00:21:05.821 --> 00:21:06.755
You're staying. you're the joshua generation.
00:21:06.822 --> 00:21:08.990
You're the joshua generation. new ground is coming,
00:21:09.057 --> 00:21:10.859
New ground is coming, new opportunities,
00:21:10.926 --> 00:21:11.960
New opportunities, new levels, and like joshua,
00:21:12.027 --> 00:21:15.364
New levels, and like joshua, you may have some walls
00:21:15.430 --> 00:21:16.531
You may have some walls in front of you,
00:21:16.598 --> 00:21:17.532
In front of you, big obstacles.
00:21:17.599 --> 00:21:18.967
Big obstacles. don't worry, it's no match
00:21:19.034 --> 00:21:20.736
Don't worry, it's no match for our god.
00:21:20.802 --> 00:21:22.137
For our god. keep praising, keep
00:21:22.204 --> 00:21:23.372
Keep praising, keep believing, keep expecting,
00:21:23.438 --> 00:21:25.273
Believing, keep expecting, and the lord is going to
00:21:25.340 --> 00:21:26.842
And the lord is going to extend your dominion.
00:21:26.908 --> 00:21:28.243
Extend your dominion. god is going to bring walls
00:21:28.310 --> 00:21:29.845
God is going to bring walls down and take you further
00:21:29.911 --> 00:21:32.314
Down and take you further than you ever dreamed.
00:21:32.381 --> 00:21:34.249
Goes on to say, "you will
00:21:34.516 --> 00:21:35.851
Goes on to say, "you will rule over your enemies,"
