Things are possible. new doors are about to open,

Right people are headed my way."
00:03:42.945 --> 00:03:44.314
Way." paul said in ephesians, "let
00:03:44.380 --> 00:03:45.915
Paul said in ephesians, "let everything you say be good
00:03:45.982 --> 00:03:48.184
Everything you say be good and helpful, so that your
00:03:48.251 --> 00:03:50.186

Encouragement to those that hear them."
00:03:52.655 --> 00:03:54.090
That hear them." one person that hears
00:03:54.157 --> 00:03:55.224
One person that hears your words is you.
00:03:55.291 --> 00:03:57.093
Your words is you. they go out of your mouth
00:03:57.160 --> 00:03:58.695
They go out of your mouth and back into your own ears.
00:03:58.761 --> 00:04:00.697
And back into your own ears. if you hear them long
00:04:00.763 --> 00:04:01.764
If you hear them long enough, they'll take root
00:04:01.831 --> 00:04:03.299
Enough, they'll take root in your spirit.
00:04:03.366 --> 00:04:04.801
In your spirit. you believe what you say
00:04:04.867 --> 00:04:06.069
You believe what you say about yourself more than
00:04:06.135 --> 00:04:07.904
About yourself more than what anyone else says.
00:04:07.970 --> 00:04:09.138
What anyone else says. there's nothing more
00:04:09.205 --> 00:04:10.673
There's nothing more powerful than you speaking
00:04:10.740 --> 00:04:12.508
Powerful than you speaking victory over your own life.
00:04:12.575 --> 00:04:15.411
Victory over your own life. when my father went to be
00:04:15.478 --> 00:04:16.512
When my father went to be with the lord and i stepped
00:04:16.579 --> 00:04:17.947
With the lord and i stepped up to pastor the church,
00:04:18.014 --> 00:04:19.749
Up to pastor the church, every thought told me that
00:04:19.816 --> 00:04:21.250
Every thought told me that i couldn't minister.
00:04:21.317 --> 00:04:22.819
I couldn't minister. "joel, you don't have the
00:04:22.885 --> 00:04:23.653
"joel, you don't have the experience, you're not
00:04:23.720 --> 00:04:25.121
Experience, you're not qualified, you're not that
00:04:25.188 --> 00:04:26.522
Qualified, you're not that talented."
00:04:26.589 --> 00:04:27.824
Talented." one thing i've learned is to
00:04:27.890 --> 00:04:29.659
One thing i've learned is to not verbalize the negative.
00:04:29.726 --> 00:04:32.128
Not verbalize the negative. don't give those thoughts
00:04:32.195 --> 00:04:33.229
Don't give those thoughts life by speaking them out.
00:04:33.296 --> 00:04:35.765
Life by speaking them out. instead of talking about
00:04:35.832 --> 00:04:36.933
Instead of talking about how i felt, insecure,
00:04:36.999 --> 00:04:39.102
How i felt, insecure, unqualified, intimidated,
00:04:39.168 --> 00:04:41.537
Unqualified, intimidated, i said what god said about
00:04:41.604 --> 00:04:43.072
I said what god said about me. "i can do all things
00:04:43.139 --> 00:04:45.074
Me. "i can do all things through christ. i am
00:04:45.141 --> 00:04:46.476
Through christ. i am strong in the lord. i am
00:04:46.542 --> 00:04:48.244
Strong in the lord. i am equipped, empowered,
00:04:48.311 --> 00:04:49.779
Equipped, empowered, anointed."
00:04:49.846 --> 00:04:51.214
Anointed." the whole time i was saying
00:04:51.280 --> 00:04:52.749
The whole time i was saying that i didn't feel
00:04:52.815 --> 00:04:54.050
That i didn't feel confident, i didn't feel
00:04:54.117 --> 00:04:55.685
Confident, i didn't feel qualified.
00:04:55.752 --> 00:04:56.919
Qualified. i felt just the opposite but
00:04:56.986 --> 00:04:59.288
I felt just the opposite but as i kept speaking victory,
00:04:59.355 --> 00:05:01.524
As i kept speaking victory, as i kept calling myself who
00:05:01.591 --> 00:05:03.226
As i kept calling myself who god says i am, it took root
00:05:03.292 --> 00:05:05.495
God says i am, it took root on the inside.
00:05:05.561 --> 00:05:07.130
On the inside. over time, i started to feel
00:05:07.196 --> 00:05:09.031
Over time, i started to feel strong, confident, well
00:05:09.098 --> 00:05:11.067
Strong, confident, well able.
00:05:11.134 --> 00:05:11.801
Able. i started to see favor, new
00:05:11.868 --> 00:05:13.636
I started to see favor, new doors opening and god taking
00:05:13.703 --> 00:05:15.371
Doors opening and god taking me where i never imagined.
00:05:15.438 --> 00:05:17.507
Me where i never imagined. what happened?
00:05:17.573 --> 00:05:18.608
What happened? i ate the fruit of my words.
00:05:18.674 --> 00:05:21.010
I ate the fruit of my words. it may not happen overnight.
00:05:21.077 --> 00:05:23.012
It may not happen overnight. you have to keep speaking
00:05:23.079 --> 00:05:24.347
You have to keep speaking victory.
00:05:24.414 --> 00:05:25.415
Victory. keep calling yourself
00:05:25.481 --> 00:05:26.616
Keep calling yourself healthy. keep declaring
00:05:26.682 --> 00:05:28.284
Healthy. keep declaring your children are mighty
00:05:28.351 --> 00:05:29.652
Your children are mighty in the land. keep declaring
00:05:29.719 --> 00:05:31.220
In the land. keep declaring those dreams are coming
00:05:31.287 --> 00:05:32.455
Those dreams are coming to pass.
00:05:32.522 --> 00:05:33.089
To pass. in james 3, it compares
00:05:33.156 --> 00:05:36.359
In james 3, it compares the tongue to a rudder
00:05:36.426 --> 00:05:38.194
The tongue to a rudder of a ship. verse 4 says,
00:05:38.261 --> 00:05:40.763
Of a ship. verse 4 says, "although a ship is large
00:05:40.830 --> 00:05:42.432
"although a ship is large and driven by strong
00:05:42.498 --> 00:05:43.866
And driven by strong winds, it is steered by
00:05:43.933 --> 00:05:45.868
Winds, it is steered by a small rudder wherever
00:05:45.935 --> 00:05:47.637
A small rudder wherever the pilot wants it to go."
00:05:47.703 --> 00:05:49.906
The pilot wants it to go." it's the same way with
00:05:49.972 --> 00:05:50.907
It's the same way with the tongue.
00:05:50.973 --> 00:05:52.074
The tongue. even though it's a small
00:05:52.141 --> 00:05:53.209
Even though it's a small part of the body, it's
00:05:53.276 --> 00:05:54.844
Part of the body, it's steering your life.
00:05:54.911 --> 00:05:56.646
Steering your life. what you're saying is
00:05:56.712 --> 00:05:57.980
What you're saying is determining which direction
00:05:58.047 --> 00:05:59.816
Determining which direction you go.
00:05:59.882 --> 00:06:01.017
You go. the good news is you have
00:06:01.083 --> 00:06:02.685
The good news is you have control over the rudder.
00:06:02.752 --> 00:06:04.754
Control over the rudder. you control your tongue.
00:06:04.821 --> 00:06:06.823
You control your tongue. are you sending your words
00:06:06.889 --> 00:06:08.191
Are you sending your words out in the direction you
00:06:08.257 --> 00:06:09.759
Out in the direction you want your life to go?
00:06:09.826 --> 00:06:11.627
Want your life to go? "i don't think i'm going
00:06:11.694 --> 00:06:12.428
"i don't think i'm going to get well.
00:06:12.495 --> 00:06:13.696
To get well. the medical report doesn't
00:06:13.763 --> 00:06:14.997
The medical report doesn't look good."
00:06:15.064 --> 00:06:15.865
Look good." that's the wrong direction.
00:06:15.932 --> 00:06:17.733
That's the wrong direction. why don't you say what god
00:06:17.800 --> 00:06:18.968
Why don't you say what god says about you?
00:06:19.035 --> 00:06:20.269
Says about you? "god is restoring health
00:06:20.336 --> 00:06:21.537
"god is restoring health back unto me.
00:06:21.604 --> 00:06:22.772
Back unto me. by his stripes i am healed.
00:06:22.839 --> 00:06:24.707
By his stripes i am healed. i will live and not die."
00:06:24.774 --> 00:06:27.210
I will live and not die." you're setting the direction
00:06:27.276 --> 00:06:28.644
You're setting the direction with your words.
00:06:28.711 --> 00:06:29.979
With your words. are you in agreement with
00:06:30.046 --> 00:06:31.214
Are you in agreement with god?
00:06:31.280 --> 00:06:32.181
God? he said you're blessed, are
00:06:32.248 --> 00:06:33.983
He said you're blessed, are you saying something else.
00:06:34.050 --> 00:06:35.852
You saying something else. he said you're fearfully
00:06:35.918 --> 00:06:37.253
He said you're fearfully and wonderfully made, a
00:06:37.320 --> 00:06:39.021
And wonderfully made, a masterpiece, crowned with
00:06:39.088 --> 00:06:40.923
Masterpiece, crowned with favor.
00:06:40.990 --> 00:06:41.991
Favor. are you calling yourself
00:06:42.058 --> 00:06:43.159
Are you calling yourself inferior, weak, not
00:06:43.226 --> 00:06:45.061
Inferior, weak, not attractive?
00:06:45.127 --> 00:06:46.362
Attractive? start declaring what he
00:06:46.429 --> 00:06:47.897
Start declaring what he promised.
00:06:47.964 --> 00:06:49.131
Promised. "father, you said even in
00:06:49.198 --> 00:06:50.766
"father, you said even in famine, the righteous will
00:06:50.833 --> 00:06:52.468
Famine, the righteous will have more than enough.
00:06:52.535 --> 00:06:53.936
Have more than enough. you said what i put my
00:06:54.003 --> 00:06:55.104
You said what i put my hands to would prosper
00:06:55.171 --> 00:06:56.572
Hands to would prosper and succeed."
00:06:56.639 --> 00:06:57.974
And succeed." when someone ask how you're
00:06:58.040 --> 00:06:59.175
When someone ask how you're doing, don't go into all
00:06:59.242 --> 00:07:00.810
Doing, don't go into all your troubles and how bad
00:07:00.877 --> 00:07:02.478
Your troubles and how bad it is.
00:07:02.545 --> 00:07:03.112
It is. keep your ship going in the
00:07:03.179 --> 00:07:04.480
Keep your ship going in the right direction.
00:07:04.547 --> 00:07:05.648
Right direction. "i'm blessed, i'm strong,
00:07:05.715 --> 00:07:07.183
"i'm blessed, i'm strong, i'm valuable, i'm favored."
00:07:07.250 --> 00:07:09.752
I'm valuable, i'm favored." in the scripture god told
00:07:09.819 --> 00:07:11.487
In the scripture god told jeremiah that he was going
00:07:11.554 --> 00:07:13.189
Jeremiah that he was going to become a great prophet
00:07:13.256 --> 00:07:14.891
To become a great prophet and speak to nations.
00:07:14.957 --> 00:07:16.826
And speak to nations. jeremiah was young and
00:07:16.893 --> 00:07:18.461
Jeremiah was young and afraid.
00:07:18.528 --> 00:07:19.095
Afraid. the first thing he said was,
00:07:19.161 --> 00:07:20.630
The first thing he said was, "god, i can't speak to the
00:07:20.696 --> 00:07:21.964
"god, i can't speak to the nations i'm too young.
00:07:22.031 --> 00:07:23.966
Nations i'm too young. i wouldn't know what to
00:07:24.033 --> 00:07:24.667
I wouldn't know what to say."
00:07:24.734 --> 00:07:25.935
Say." god could have said,
00:07:26.002 --> 00:07:27.136
God could have said, "jeremiah, i understand.
00:07:27.203 --> 00:07:29.071
"jeremiah, i understand. this seems over your head,
00:07:29.138 --> 00:07:30.473
This seems over your head, but don't worry i'm going to
00:07:30.540 --> 00:07:31.474
But don't worry i'm going to help you."
00:07:31.541 --> 00:07:32.441
Help you." no god said, "jeremiah, say
00:07:32.508 --> 00:07:34.510
No god said, "jeremiah, say not that you're too young."
00:07:34.577 --> 00:07:36.679
Not that you're too young." god told him to zip it up.
00:07:36.746 --> 00:07:38.948
God told him to zip it up. he knew if jeremiah kept
00:07:39.015 --> 00:07:40.883
He knew if jeremiah kept speaking those negative
00:07:40.950 --> 00:07:42.151
Speaking those negative words, telling himself that
00:07:42.218 --> 00:07:43.953
Words, telling himself that he was too young, not
00:07:44.020 --> 00:07:45.588
He was too young, not qualified, didn't have what
00:07:45.655 --> 00:07:47.256
Qualified, didn't have what it takes, that he would
00:07:47.323 --> 00:07:48.491
It takes, that he would never become who he was
00:07:48.558 --> 00:07:50.293
Never become who he was created to be.
00:07:50.359 --> 00:07:52.094
Created to be. your tongue is the rudder
00:07:52.161 --> 00:07:53.796
Your tongue is the rudder for your life, it's
00:07:53.863 --> 00:07:55.364
For your life, it's determining the direction.
00:07:55.431 --> 00:07:57.733
Determining the direction. next time you're tempted to
00:07:57.800 --> 00:07:59.035
Next time you're tempted to say something negative about
00:07:59.101 --> 00:08:00.670
Say something negative about yourself, your future, your
00:08:00.736 --> 00:08:02.838
Yourself, your future, your children, your finances, zip
00:08:02.905 --> 00:08:05.007
Children, your finances, zip it up.
00:08:05.074 --> 00:08:06.008
It up. don't steer yourself toward
00:08:06.075 --> 00:08:07.743
Don't steer yourself toward defeat.
00:08:07.810 --> 00:08:08.911
Defeat. say not you're too young.
00:08:08.978 --> 00:08:11.247
Say not you're too young. say not you can't get well,
00:08:11.314 --> 00:08:13.482
Say not you can't get well, say not you'll never meet
00:08:13.549 --> 00:08:14.784
Say not you'll never meet the right person, say not
00:08:14.850 --> 00:08:16.786
The right person, say not you can't accomplish your
00:08:16.852 --> 00:08:17.820
You can't accomplish your dreams.
00:08:17.887 --> 00:08:18.654
Dreams. god wouldn't have given them
00:08:18.721 --> 00:08:20.022
God wouldn't have given them to you if you weren't well
00:08:20.089 --> 00:08:21.591
To you if you weren't well able.
00:08:21.657 --> 00:08:22.758
Able. verse 9 says, "god reached
00:08:22.825 --> 00:08:24.660
Verse 9 says, "god reached out his hand and touched
00:08:24.727 --> 00:08:26.862
Out his hand and touched jeremiah's lips and said i
00:08:26.929 --> 00:08:29.365
Jeremiah's lips and said i have put my words in your
00:08:29.432 --> 00:08:31.100
Have put my words in your mouth."
00:08:31.167 --> 00:08:32.268
Mouth." god was saying in effect,
00:08:32.335 --> 00:08:33.402
God was saying in effect, "jeremiah, say what i say
00:08:33.469 --> 00:08:35.371
"jeremiah, say what i say about you."
00:08:35.438 --> 00:08:36.806
About you." don't say how you feel,
00:08:36.872 --> 00:08:38.474
Don't say how you feel, don't say what the experts
00:08:38.541 --> 00:08:39.675
Don't say what the experts say, don't say what it looks
00:08:39.742 --> 00:08:41.277
Say, don't say what it looks like, start saying what god
00:08:41.344 --> 00:08:43.145
Like, start saying what god says about you.
00:08:43.212 --> 00:08:44.947
Says about you. god said in psalms, "he will
00:08:45.014 --> 00:08:46.782
God said in psalms, "he will crown the year with a
00:08:46.849 --> 00:08:48.417
Crown the year with a bountiful harvest, even the
00:08:48.484 --> 00:08:50.620
Bountiful harvest, even the hard places will overflow
00:08:50.686 --> 00:08:52.888
Hard places will overflow with abundance."
00:08:52.955 --> 00:08:54.490
With abundance." you can go around saying,
00:08:54.557 --> 00:08:55.891
You can go around saying, "this is such a tough year,
00:08:55.958 --> 00:08:57.493
"this is such a tough year, i can't wait till it's
00:08:57.560 --> 00:08:58.461
I can't wait till it's over."
00:08:58.527 --> 00:08:59.362
Over." or you can say, "father
00:08:59.428 --> 00:09:00.363
Or you can say, "father thank you that even in hard
00:09:00.429 --> 00:09:02.164
Thank you that even in hard times i will have more than
00:09:02.231 --> 00:09:03.733
Times i will have more than enough.
00:09:03.799 --> 00:09:04.667
Enough. thank you that you're an
00:09:04.734 --> 00:09:05.401
Thank you that you're an overflow god, that you're
00:09:05.468 --> 00:09:07.403
Overflow god, that you're not limited by the
00:09:07.470 --> 00:09:08.404
Not limited by the circumstances, you're not

Circumstances, you're not limited by the economy, lord
00:09:10.139 --> 00:09:12.108
Limited by the economy, lord i thank you that i'm blessed
00:09:12.174 --> 00:09:13.676
I thank you that i'm blessed in a down year, i'm favored
00:09:13.743 --> 00:09:15.745
In a down year, i'm favored in a famine, i'm prosperous
00:09:15.811 --> 00:09:17.647
In a famine, i'm prosperous in a pandemic.
00:09:17.713 --> 00:09:18.848
In a pandemic. i overflow; i have more than
00:09:18.914 --> 00:09:20.616
I overflow; i have more than enough joy, more than enough
00:09:20.683 --> 00:09:22.184
Enough joy, more than enough strength, more than enough
00:09:22.251 --> 00:09:23.686
Strength, more than enough health."
00:09:23.753 --> 00:09:24.687
Health." that's steering your ship
00:09:24.754 --> 00:09:25.855
That's steering your ship toward increase, steering
00:09:25.921 --> 00:09:27.657
Toward increase, steering your ship toward overflow.
00:09:27.723 --> 00:09:30.126
Your ship toward overflow. i talked to a young lady;
00:09:30.192 --> 00:09:31.761
I talked to a young lady; she was very successful in
00:09:31.827 --> 00:09:33.162
She was very successful in her career but when the
00:09:33.229 --> 00:09:34.664
Her career but when the pandemic hit things started
00:09:34.730 --> 00:09:36.499
Pandemic hit things started to slow down.
00:09:36.565 --> 00:09:37.700
To slow down. she was concerned about how
00:09:37.767 --> 00:09:39.235
She was concerned about how it was going to work out.
00:09:39.301 --> 00:09:40.970
It was going to work out. she'd heard me talking about
00:09:41.037 --> 00:09:42.538
She'd heard me talking about how this was going to be an
00:09:42.605 --> 00:09:43.673
How this was going to be an overflow year, how the
00:09:43.739 --> 00:09:45.708
Overflow year, how the economy is not our source,
00:09:45.775 --> 00:09:47.410
Economy is not our source, but god is our source.
00:09:47.476 --> 00:09:49.445
But god is our source. something came alive on the
00:09:49.512 --> 00:09:51.047
Something came alive on the inside.
00:09:51.113 --> 00:09:52.181
Inside. she started saying that all
00:09:52.248 --> 00:09:53.616
She started saying that all through the day, repeating
00:09:53.683 --> 00:09:55.184
Through the day, repeating it under her breath, again
00:09:55.251 --> 00:09:56.686
It under her breath, again and again.
00:09:56.752 --> 00:09:57.620
And again. "lord, thank you that the
00:09:57.687 --> 00:09:58.921
"lord, thank you that the economy is not my source,
00:09:58.988 --> 00:10:00.756
Economy is not my source, but you are my source.
00:10:00.823 --> 00:10:02.158
But you are my source. thank you for an overflow
00:10:02.224 --> 00:10:03.592
Thank you for an overflow year."
00:10:03.659 --> 00:10:04.760
Year." it looked just the opposite.
00:10:04.827 --> 00:10:06.796
It looked just the opposite. things were going down,
00:10:06.862 --> 00:10:08.364
Things were going down, decreasing yet she was
00:10:08.431 --> 00:10:10.066
Decreasing yet she was declaring increase,
00:10:10.132 --> 00:10:11.834
Declaring increase, declaring favor, talking
00:10:11.901 --> 00:10:13.536
Declaring favor, talking about the greatness of our
00:10:13.602 --> 00:10:14.904
About the greatness of our god.
00:10:14.970 --> 00:10:15.738
God. what was she doing?
00:10:15.805 --> 00:10:16.939
What was she doing? steering her ship in the
00:10:17.006 --> 00:10:18.407
Steering her ship in the right direction.
00:10:18.474 --> 00:10:20.142
Right direction. in difficult times it's easy
00:10:20.209 --> 00:10:22.244
In difficult times it's easy to talk about the problem,
00:10:22.311 --> 00:10:24.013
To talk about the problem, complain, be negative,
00:10:24.080 --> 00:10:25.915
Complain, be negative, that's when you have to dig
00:10:25.981 --> 00:10:27.049
That's when you have to dig down deep and say, "no, i'm
00:10:27.116 --> 00:10:28.751
Down deep and say, "no, i'm going to keep speaking
00:10:28.818 --> 00:10:29.819
Going to keep speaking victory.
00:10:29.885 --> 00:10:30.653
Victory. god you 're my provider,
00:10:30.720 --> 00:10:32.455
God you 're my provider, you're my healer, you're my
00:10:32.521 --> 00:10:33.856
You're my healer, you're my way maker.
00:10:33.923 --> 00:10:34.924
Way maker. i may not see how it can
00:10:34.990 --> 00:10:36.158
I may not see how it can happen, but i know you're
00:10:36.225 --> 00:10:37.993
Happen, but i know you're still in control."
00:10:38.060 --> 00:10:39.862
Still in control." she and her husband decided
00:10:39.929 --> 00:10:41.597
She and her husband decided to start their own business.
00:10:41.664 --> 00:10:43.666
To start their own business. against all odds, it took
00:10:43.733 --> 00:10:45.701
Against all odds, it took off, more than they ever
00:10:45.768 --> 00:10:47.470
Off, more than they ever imagined.
00:10:47.536 --> 00:10:48.537
Imagined. they just closed on their
00:10:48.604 --> 00:10:49.739
They just closed on their first house; their business
00:10:49.805 --> 00:10:51.707
First house; their business continues to increase.
00:10:51.774 --> 00:10:53.576
Continues to increase. she said, "in the midst of
00:10:53.642 --> 00:10:54.577
She said, "in the midst of all this uncertainty, with
00:10:54.643 --> 00:10:56.445
All this uncertainty, with people afraid and
00:10:56.512 --> 00:10:57.446
People afraid and struggling, we've seen favor
00:10:57.513 --> 00:10:59.448
Struggling, we've seen favor in ways we've never
00:10:59.515 --> 00:11:00.683
In ways we've never dreamed."
00:11:00.750 --> 00:11:01.717
Dreamed." that's what the scripture
00:11:01.784 --> 00:11:02.585
That's what the scripture says, even in hard times the
00:11:02.651 --> 00:11:05.321
Says, even in hard times the righteous will have more
00:11:05.387 --> 00:11:06.689
Righteous will have more than enough.
00:11:06.756 --> 00:11:08.357
Than enough. i don't think this would
00:11:08.424 --> 00:11:09.391
I don't think this would have happened if she would
00:11:09.458 --> 00:11:10.760
Have happened if she would have gone around negative,
00:11:10.826 --> 00:11:12.027
Have gone around negative, complaining.
00:11:12.094 --> 00:11:13.395
Complaining. pay attention to which way
00:11:13.462 --> 00:11:15.231
Pay attention to which way you're steering your ship.
00:11:15.297 --> 00:11:17.099
You're steering your ship. what you're constantly
00:11:17.166 --> 00:11:18.267
What you're constantly talking about, you're
00:11:18.334 --> 00:11:19.535
Talking about, you're drawing in.
00:11:19.602 --> 00:11:21.070
Drawing in. when you're always bragging
00:11:21.137 --> 00:11:22.371
When you're always bragging on the greatness of our god,
00:11:22.438 --> 00:11:24.173
On the greatness of our god, talking about what he can
00:11:24.240 --> 00:11:25.407
Talking about what he can do, declaring what he
00:11:25.474 --> 00:11:26.809
Do, declaring what he promised, you're going to
00:11:26.876 --> 00:11:28.177
Promised, you're going to draw in blessings, favor,
00:11:28.244 --> 00:11:30.613
Draw in blessings, favor, increase.
00:11:30.679 --> 00:11:31.914
Increase. psalm 35 says, "let them
00:11:31.981 --> 00:11:33.916
Psalm 35 says, "let them continually say, let the
00:11:33.983 --> 00:11:36.118
Continually say, let the lord be magnified, who takes
00:11:36.185 --> 00:11:38.287
Lord be magnified, who takes pleasure in the prosperity
00:11:38.354 --> 00:11:40.389
Pleasure in the prosperity of his children."
00:11:40.456 --> 00:11:42.057
Of his children." it's interesting that they
00:11:42.124 --> 00:11:43.359
It's interesting that they were supposed to continually
00:11:43.425 --> 00:11:44.994
Were supposed to continually say this.
00:11:45.060 --> 00:11:46.262
Say this. you would think they could
00:11:46.328 --> 00:11:47.062
You would think they could say it once or twice, that
00:11:47.129 --> 00:11:48.731
Say it once or twice, that would be enough.
00:11:48.798 --> 00:11:50.032
Would be enough. but there's something
00:11:50.099 --> 00:11:50.766
But there's something powerful when you go through
00:11:50.833 --> 00:11:52.535
Powerful when you go through the day, not talking about
00:11:52.601 --> 00:11:54.570
The day, not talking about how big the problem is and
00:11:54.637 --> 00:11:56.438
How big the problem is and how your back will probably
00:11:56.505 --> 00:11:57.540
How your back will probably never stop hurting; how you
00:11:57.606 --> 00:11:59.241
Never stop hurting; how you don't see how that child is
00:11:59.308 --> 00:12:00.442
Don't see how that child is going to turn around.
00:12:00.509 --> 00:12:01.677
Going to turn around. instead, you're saying, "let
00:12:01.744 --> 00:12:03.679
Instead, you're saying, "let god be magnified who takes
00:12:03.746 --> 00:12:05.915
God be magnified who takes pleasure in prospering me,
00:12:05.981 --> 00:12:07.950
Pleasure in prospering me, who takes pleasure in
00:12:08.017 --> 00:12:09.118
Who takes pleasure in healing me, who takes
00:12:09.185 --> 00:12:10.586
Healing me, who takes pleasure in favoring me."
00:12:10.653 --> 00:12:13.189
Pleasure in favoring me." are you taking time to
00:12:13.255 --> 00:12:14.757
Are you taking time to declare god's goodness over
00:12:14.824 --> 00:12:16.425
Declare god's goodness over your life?
00:12:16.492 --> 00:12:17.593
Your life? are you speaking victory
00:12:17.660 --> 00:12:19.128
Are you speaking victory over your future?
00:12:19.195 --> 00:12:20.729
Over your future? it's not enough to do it
00:12:20.796 --> 00:12:21.897
It's not enough to do it every once in a while.
00:12:21.964 --> 00:12:23.532
Every once in a while. it needs to become a habit.
00:12:23.599 --> 00:12:25.601
It needs to become a habit. where all through the day
00:12:25.668 --> 00:12:27.236
Where all through the day we're declaring that we're
00:12:27.303 --> 00:12:28.370
We're declaring that we're blessed, we're strong, we're
00:12:28.437 --> 00:12:30.306
Blessed, we're strong, we're healthy.
00:12:30.372 --> 00:12:31.440
Healthy. when you wake up in the
00:12:31.507 --> 00:12:32.241
When you wake up in the morning, "lord, thank you
00:12:32.308 --> 00:12:33.509
Morning, "lord, thank you for another beautiful day
00:12:33.576 --> 00:12:35.444
For another beautiful day and, lord, thank you that
00:12:35.511 --> 00:12:36.278
And, lord, thank you that something good is going to
00:12:36.345 --> 00:12:37.746
Something good is going to happen to me today, thank
00:12:37.813 --> 00:12:39.548
Happen to me today, thank you that favor is
00:12:39.615 --> 00:12:40.783
You that favor is surrounding me, blessings
00:12:40.850 --> 00:12:42.751
Surrounding me, blessings are chasing me down, angels
00:12:42.818 --> 00:12:44.820
Are chasing me down, angels are watching over me, that
00:12:44.887 --> 00:12:46.422
Are watching over me, that you being for me is more
00:12:46.488 --> 00:12:48.023
You being for me is more than the world being against
00:12:48.090 --> 00:12:49.158
Than the world being against me."
00:12:49.225 --> 00:12:50.359
Me." that's setting your rudder
00:12:50.426 --> 00:12:51.827
That's setting your rudder in the right direction.
00:12:51.894 --> 00:12:53.863
In the right direction. you can't be silent and
00:12:53.929 --> 00:12:55.531
You can't be silent and reach your potential.
00:12:55.598 --> 00:12:56.999
Reach your potential. nothing happens until you
00:12:57.066 --> 00:12:58.601
Nothing happens until you speak.
00:12:58.667 --> 00:12:59.568
Speak. your words give life to your
00:12:59.635 --> 00:13:01.403
Your words give life to your faith.
00:13:01.470 --> 00:13:02.071
Faith. joshua said, "this book of
00:13:02.137 --> 00:13:04.506
Joshua said, "this book of the law, these promises,
00:13:04.573 --> 00:13:06.809
The law, these promises, shall not depart out of your
00:13:06.876 --> 00:13:08.544
Shall not depart out of your mouth.
00:13:08.611 --> 00:13:09.511
Mouth. you shall meditate on them
00:13:09.578 --> 00:13:11.113
You shall meditate on them day and night, then you will
00:13:11.180 --> 00:13:13.215
Day and night, then you will prosper and have good
00:13:13.282 --> 00:13:14.917
Prosper and have good success."
00:13:14.984 --> 00:13:16.285
Success." it doesn't say they
00:13:16.352 --> 00:13:17.419
It doesn't say they shouldn't depart out of your
00:13:17.486 --> 00:13:18.454
Shouldn't depart out of your mind.
00:13:18.520 --> 00:13:19.455
Mind. if you think positive,
00:13:19.521 --> 00:13:20.656
If you think positive, you'll be fine.
00:13:20.723 --> 00:13:21.991
You'll be fine. not depart out of your eyes,
00:13:22.057 --> 00:13:23.926
Not depart out of your eyes, if you read it enough.
00:13:23.993 --> 00:13:25.661
If you read it enough. it says they should not
00:13:25.728 --> 00:13:27.263
It says they should not depart out of your mouth.
00:13:27.329 --> 00:13:29.632
Depart out of your mouth. if you'll keep speaking what
00:13:29.698 --> 00:13:31.200
If you'll keep speaking what god says about you, then you
00:13:31.267 --> 00:13:33.002
God says about you, then you will have good success.
00:13:33.068 --> 00:13:34.470
Will have good success. in mark 5, there was a lady
00:13:34.536 --> 00:13:37.640
In mark 5, there was a lady that had been sick for
00:13:37.706 --> 00:13:38.641
That had been sick for twelve years.
00:13:38.707 --> 00:13:39.975
Twelve years. she had spent all of her
00:13:40.042 --> 00:13:41.043
She had spent all of her money going to different
00:13:41.110 --> 00:13:42.511
Money going to different doctors but still nothing
00:13:42.578 --> 00:13:44.179
Doctors but still nothing had helped.
00:13:44.246 --> 00:13:45.447
Had helped. one day she heard that jesus
00:13:45.514 --> 00:13:47.116
One day she heard that jesus was coming through town.
00:13:47.182 --> 00:13:48.918
Was coming through town. the scripture says, "she
00:13:48.984 --> 00:13:50.452
The scripture says, "she kept saying to herself, when
00:13:50.519 --> 00:13:52.988
Kept saying to herself, when i get to jesus, i will be
00:13:53.055 --> 00:13:54.924
I get to jesus, i will be made whole."
00:13:54.990 --> 00:13:56.325
Made whole." in the midst of the
00:13:56.392 --> 00:13:57.159
In the midst of the sickness, she was
00:13:57.226 --> 00:13:58.394
Sickness, she was prophesying health.
00:13:58.460 --> 00:14:00.329
Prophesying health. all through the day, not
00:14:00.396 --> 00:14:01.630
All through the day, not just one time but she kept
00:14:01.697 --> 00:14:03.365
Just one time but she kept saying over and over,
00:14:03.432 --> 00:14:05.100
Saying over and over, "healing is coming,
00:14:05.167 --> 00:14:06.468
"healing is coming, restoration is coming, a
00:14:06.535 --> 00:14:08.037
Restoration is coming, a breakthrough is coming."
00:14:08.103 --> 00:14:10.172
Breakthrough is coming." she saw jesus but it was
00:14:10.239 --> 00:14:11.974
She saw jesus but it was very crowded, people were
00:14:12.041 --> 00:14:13.776
Very crowded, people were packed in all around him.
00:14:13.842 --> 00:14:15.945
Packed in all around him. she could have been
00:14:16.011 --> 00:14:16.578
She could have been discouraged, complained,
00:14:16.645 --> 00:14:18.614
Discouraged, complained, instead she kept saying,
00:14:18.681 --> 00:14:20.749
Instead she kept saying, "this is my time.
00:14:20.816 --> 00:14:22.217
"this is my time. things are about to change
00:14:22.284 --> 00:14:23.452
Things are about to change in my favor."
00:14:23.519 --> 00:14:25.087
In my favor." as she kept speaking it, she
00:14:25.154 --> 00:14:26.855
As she kept speaking it, she got closer and closer.
00:14:26.922 --> 00:14:28.724
Got closer and closer. she finally reached out and
00:14:28.791 --> 00:14:30.192
She finally reached out and touched jesus' robe and
00:14:30.259 --> 00:14:31.560
Touched jesus' robe and instantly she was healed.
00:14:31.627 --> 00:14:33.696
Instantly she was healed. notice the principle,
00:14:33.762 --> 00:14:35.197
Notice the principle, whatever you're constantly
00:14:35.264 --> 00:14:36.598
Whatever you're constantly saying, you're moving
00:14:36.665 --> 00:14:38.033
Saying, you're moving toward.
00:14:38.100 --> 00:14:39.401
Toward. if you're always saying,
00:14:39.468 --> 00:14:40.536
If you're always saying, "i'll never get out of
00:14:40.602 --> 00:14:41.503
"i'll never get out of debt," you're moving toward
00:14:41.570 --> 00:14:43.238
Debt," you're moving toward struggle and lack.
00:14:43.305 --> 00:14:45.207
Struggle and lack. if you're saying, "my
00:14:45.274 --> 00:14:46.208
If you're saying, "my marriage is not going to
00:14:46.275 --> 00:14:47.309
Marriage is not going to last.
00:14:47.376 --> 00:14:48.143
Last. we don't get along."
00:14:48.210 --> 00:14:49.578
We don't get along." you're moving toward
00:14:49.645 --> 00:14:50.746
You're moving toward separation, a breakup.
00:14:50.813 --> 00:14:53.182
Separation, a breakup. if you're saying, "i'll
00:14:53.248 --> 00:14:54.049
If you're saying, "i'll never get well.
00:14:54.116 --> 00:14:55.617
Never get well. this sickness will be the
00:14:55.684 --> 00:14:56.652
This sickness will be the end of me."
00:14:56.719 --> 00:14:57.286
End of me." you're moving toward defeat
00:14:57.353 --> 00:14:59.121
You're moving toward defeat and mediocrity.
00:14:59.188 --> 00:15:00.756
And mediocrity. but if you'll send your
00:15:00.823 --> 00:15:01.724
But if you'll send your words out in a different
00:15:01.790 --> 00:15:03.125
Words out in a different direction, your life will go
00:15:03.192 --> 00:15:05.361
Direction, your life will go in a different direction.
00:15:05.427 --> 00:15:07.396
In a different direction. when you say, "i am
00:15:07.463 --> 00:15:08.597
When you say, "i am blessed," you're moving
00:15:08.664 --> 00:15:10.065
Blessed," you're moving toward blessing.
00:15:10.132 --> 00:15:11.667
Toward blessing. when you say, "i have the

Saying, your life is going in that direction.
00:15:43.232 --> 00:15:45.300
In that direction. god gave abraham the promise
00:15:45.367 --> 00:15:47.369
God gave abraham the promise that his wife sarah would
00:15:47.436 --> 00:15:49.071

00:15:50.239 --> 00:15:51.740
The problem was they were both way too old.
00:15:51.807 --> 00:15:53.342
Both way too old. abraham was eighty.
00:15:53.409 --> 00:15:55.144
Abraham was eighty. sarah was barren, never able
00:15:55.210 --> 00:15:57.479
Sarah was barren, never able to have children, she had
00:15:57.546 --> 00:15:59.014

Sometimes god will give you a promise that seems
00:16:03.786 --> 00:16:04.953
A promise that seems impossible.
00:16:05.020 --> 00:16:06.355
Impossible. you're too young, too old,
00:16:06.422 --> 00:16:08.657
You're too young, too old, you don't have the

Connections, the medical report is not good.
00:16:10.826 --> 00:16:12.394

You don't have to figure out how it's going to happen,
00:16:13.595 --> 00:16:15.064

Thank you that my baby is on the way."
00:16:22.604 --> 00:16:23.972
The way." the mistake we make too
00:16:24.039 --> 00:16:25.040
The mistake we make too often is we send our words
00:16:25.107 --> 00:16:27.209
Often is we send our words out in the wrong direction,
00:16:27.276 --> 00:16:29.311
Out in the wrong direction, "i can't have a baby, i
00:16:29.378 --> 00:16:31.080

Start my business." negative words can stop what
00:16:34.616 --> 00:16:36.919
Negative words can stop what god has for you.
00:16:36.985 --> 00:16:38.754
God has for you. god told the israelites that
00:16:38.821 --> 00:16:40.389
God told the israelites that they would live in the
00:16:40.456 --> 00:16:41.390
They would live in the promised land, the land
00:16:41.457 --> 00:16:43.225
Promised land, the land flowing with milk and honey,
00:16:43.292 --> 00:16:45.094
Flowing with milk and honey, but negative words kept them
00:16:45.160 --> 00:16:46.862
But negative words kept them from going in.
00:16:46.929 --> 00:16:48.464
From going in. the ten spies said, "the
00:16:48.530 --> 00:16:49.832
The ten spies said, "the people are too big, there
00:16:49.898 --> 00:16:51.567
People are too big, there are giants in the land."
00:16:51.633 --> 00:16:53.735
Are giants in the land." the opposition didn't defeat
00:16:53.802 --> 00:16:55.404
The opposition didn't defeat them, their negative words
00:16:55.471 --> 00:16:57.139
Them, their negative words defeated them.
00:16:57.206 --> 00:16:58.574
Defeated them. they said, "we're not able,
00:16:58.640 --> 00:16:59.808
They said, "we're not able, we don't have what it
00:16:59.875 --> 00:17:00.843
We don't have what it takes."
00:17:00.909 --> 00:17:01.643
Takes." they became what they said.
00:17:01.710 --> 00:17:03.745
They became what they said. they prophesied their
00:17:03.812 --> 00:17:04.880
They prophesied their future.
00:17:04.947 --> 00:17:05.714
Future. they turned around and
00:17:05.781 --> 00:17:07.116
They turned around and wandered in the desert for
00:17:07.182 --> 00:17:08.884
Wandered in the desert for forty years.
00:17:08.951 --> 00:17:10.552
Forty years. when god puts something in
00:17:10.619 --> 00:17:11.653
When god puts something in your heart, don't start
00:17:11.720 --> 00:17:13.188
Your heart, don't start talking about how it's not
00:17:13.255 --> 00:17:14.256
Talking about how it's not going to happen, what you
00:17:14.323 --> 00:17:15.757
Going to happen, what you don't have and how big the
00:17:15.824 --> 00:17:17.059
Don't have and how big the opposition is.
00:17:17.126 --> 00:17:19.061
Opposition is. abraham had this promise
00:17:19.128 --> 00:17:20.362
Abraham had this promise that seemed impossible.
00:17:20.429 --> 00:17:22.231
That seemed impossible. god did something
00:17:22.297 --> 00:17:23.098
God did something interesting.
00:17:23.165 --> 00:17:23.966
Interesting. he changed his name from

Abraham means "the father of many nations".
00:17:30.839 --> 00:17:32.241
Many nations". he didn't feel like a father
00:17:32.307 --> 00:17:34.143
He didn't feel like a father but every time someone said,
00:17:34.209 --> 00:17:35.277
But every time someone said, "hello abraham," they were
00:17:35.344 --> 00:17:36.912
"hello abraham," they were saying, "hello father of
00:17:36.979 --> 00:17:38.514
Saying, "hello father of many nations."
00:17:38.580 --> 00:17:39.982
Many nations." he could have thought, "they
00:17:40.048 --> 00:17:40.949
He could have thought, "they have the wrong person, i
00:17:41.016 --> 00:17:42.284
Have the wrong person, i don't have any children."
00:17:42.351 --> 00:17:43.986
Don't have any children." when he met someone new, he
00:17:44.052 --> 00:17:45.420
When he met someone new, he would say, "hello, i am

Month after month. it began to get down in his
00:17:55.130 --> 00:17:56.331
It began to get down in his spirit.
00:17:56.398 --> 00:17:57.533
Spirit. he had to see himself a new
00:17:57.599 --> 00:17:59.201
He had to see himself a new way before the promise could
00:17:59.268 --> 00:18:01.170
Way before the promise could come to pass.
00:18:01.236 --> 00:18:02.371
Come to pass. the way god changed his
00:18:02.437 --> 00:18:03.605
The way god changed his self-image was through his
00:18:03.672 --> 00:18:05.407
Self-image was through his words.
00:18:05.474 --> 00:18:06.608
Words. that's why it's so
00:18:06.675 --> 00:18:07.276
That's why it's so important, all through the

Important, all through the day, under your breath, you
00:18:08.810 --> 00:18:11.246

How you see yourself. god changed saria's name
00:18:23.125 --> 00:18:24.693
God changed saria's name from sarai to sarah.
00:18:24.760 --> 00:18:27.129

00:20:14.569 --> 00:20:16.305
Bench, never kicked a single field goal.
00:20:16.371 --> 00:20:17.673
Field goal. at the end of his last
00:20:17.739 --> 00:20:18.774
At the end of his last college season, there was a
00:20:18.840 --> 00:20:20.709
College season, there was a scout day, where coaches
00:20:20.776 --> 00:20:22.811
Scout day, where coaches came from professional teams
00:20:22.878 --> 00:20:25.013
Came from professional teams and they would look at the
00:20:25.080 --> 00:20:25.747
And they would look at the different players, ask them
00:20:25.814 --> 00:20:27.316
Different players, ask them to work out, so they could
00:20:27.382 --> 00:20:28.750
To work out, so they could evaluate them.
00:20:28.817 --> 00:20:30.152
Evaluate them. he was hoping he would get
00:20:30.218 --> 00:20:31.219
He was hoping he would get some good leads, but no one
00:20:31.286 --> 00:20:33.155
Some good leads, but no one was interested in him.
00:20:33.221 --> 00:20:34.756
Was interested in him. it looked like his days of
00:20:34.823 --> 00:20:36.158
It looked like his days of playing football were over.
00:20:36.224 --> 00:20:38.193
Playing football were over. driving home from college he
00:20:38.260 --> 00:20:40.095
Driving home from college he turned the radio on and came
00:20:40.162 --> 00:20:41.830
Turned the radio on and came across our sirius xm
00:20:41.897 --> 00:20:43.398
Across our sirius xm channel.
00:20:43.465 --> 00:20:44.433
Channel. he heard me talking about
00:20:44.499 --> 00:20:46.034
He heard me talking about how a shift is coming, how
00:20:46.101 --> 00:20:48.103
How a shift is coming, how you're just one phone call
00:20:48.170 --> 00:20:49.538
You're just one phone call away from your destiny, how
00:20:49.604 --> 00:20:51.273
Away from your destiny, how one touch of god's favor can
00:20:51.340 --> 00:20:53.241
One touch of god's favor can catapult you to the next
00:20:53.308 --> 00:20:54.776
Catapult you to the next level.
00:20:54.843 --> 00:20:55.677
Level. when he heard that,
00:20:55.744 --> 00:20:56.978
When he heard that, something ignited in his
00:20:57.045 --> 00:20:58.513
Something ignited in his spirit.
00:20:58.580 --> 00:20:59.448
Spirit. he knew it was for him.
00:20:59.514 --> 00:21:01.083
He knew it was for him. he got his cell phone out
00:21:01.149 --> 00:21:02.918
He got his cell phone out and made a three-minute
00:21:02.984 --> 00:21:03.985
And made a three-minute video telling people that he
00:21:04.052 --> 00:21:06.488
Video telling people that he was going to play that year
00:21:06.555 --> 00:21:08.657
Was going to play that year in the nfl.
00:21:08.724 --> 00:21:10.525
In the nfl. most people thought he had
00:21:10.592 --> 00:21:11.827
Most people thought he had lost his mind.
00:21:11.893 --> 00:21:13.161
Lost his mind. he'd never kicked one field
00:21:13.228 --> 00:21:14.629
He'd never kicked one field goal; had no track record
00:21:14.696 --> 00:21:16.832
Goal; had no track record and you're going to go play
00:21:16.898 --> 00:21:17.499
And you're going to go play professional football.
00:21:17.566 --> 00:21:18.533
Professional football. that doesn't make sense.
00:21:18.600 --> 00:21:20.135
That doesn't make sense. he let that go in one ear
00:21:20.202 --> 00:21:21.703
He let that go in one ear and out the other, he
00:21:21.770 --> 00:21:23.004
And out the other, he started speaking victory.
00:21:23.071 --> 00:21:25.040
Started speaking victory. "father, thank you that
00:21:25.107 --> 00:21:25.941

Opportunity is coming my way, thank you that favor is
00:21:27.642 --> 00:21:29.444
Way, thank you that favor is causing me to stand out."
00:21:29.511 --> 00:21:31.079
Causing me to stand out." he was setting his rudder in
00:21:31.146 --> 00:21:32.914
He was setting his rudder in the right direction,
00:21:32.981 --> 00:21:34.149
The right direction, prophesying his future.
00:21:34.216 --> 00:21:36.418
Prophesying his future. four hours after he made the
00:21:36.485 --> 00:21:38.120
Four hours after he made the video, he received a phone
00:21:38.186 --> 00:21:40.122
Video, he received a phone call from the kicking coach
00:21:40.188 --> 00:21:42.224
Call from the kicking coach of the cincinnati bengals
00:21:42.290 --> 00:21:43.625

To come try out for the team.
00:21:46.862 --> 00:21:47.662
Team. he couldn't believe it.
00:21:47.729 --> 00:21:49.030
He couldn't believe it. he had never spoken to the
00:21:49.097 --> 00:21:50.132
He had never spoken to the coach, never met him.
00:21:50.198 --> 00:21:52.100
Coach, never met him. he went to the camp, tried

He went to the camp, tried out, and against all odds,
00:21:53.602 --> 00:21:55.370
Out, and against all odds, he made the team.
00:21:55.437 --> 00:21:56.772
He made the team. he became the only african
00:21:56.838 --> 00:21:58.573
He became the only african american football kicker in

American football kicker in the nfl at that time.
00:22:00.475 --> 00:22:02.811
The nfl at that time. when you speak victory over
00:22:02.878 --> 00:22:04.446
When you speak victory over your life, god will open
00:22:04.513 --> 00:22:06.248
Your life, god will open doors that no person can
00:22:06.314 --> 00:22:07.749
Doors that no person can shut.

Shut. he'll take you where you

He'll take you where you can't go on your own.

Can't go on your own. the dreams he's put in your

The dreams he's put in your heart, the promises you're
00:22:13.288 --> 00:22:14.890
Heart, the promises you're standing on, it's not enough
00:22:14.956 --> 00:22:16.925
Standing on, it's not enough to just believe them, that's
00:22:16.992 --> 00:22:18.994
To just believe them, that's important, but something
00:22:19.060 --> 00:22:20.262
Important, but something happens when you speak.
00:22:20.328 --> 00:22:22.330
