For tuning in. i like to start with
00:00:28.118 --> 00:00:28.785
I like to start with something funny.
00:00:28.852 --> 00:00:30.053
Something funny. i heard about this mom.
00:00:30.120 --> 00:00:31.488
I heard about this mom. she was cooking breakfast
00:00:31.554 --> 00:00:32.689
She was cooking breakfast for her two young boys;
00:00:32.755 --> 00:00:34.424
For her two young boys; ryan was 5. kevin was 3.
00:00:34.491 --> 00:00:37.127
Ryan was 5. kevin was 3. they began to argue over
00:00:37.193 --> 00:00:38.528
They began to argue over who should get the first
00:00:38.595 --> 00:00:39.596
Who should get the first pancake.
00:00:39.662 --> 00:00:40.730
Pancake. she saw this as an
00:00:40.797 --> 00:00:41.731
She saw this as an opportunity to teach them
00:00:41.798 --> 00:00:43.166
Opportunity to teach them a lesson. she said, "boys,
00:00:43.233 --> 00:00:45.101
A lesson. she said, "boys, boys, if jesus were here,
00:00:45.168 --> 00:00:47.203
Boys, if jesus were here, he would say, 'let my
00:00:47.270 --> 00:00:48.438
He would say, 'let my brother have the first
00:00:48.505 --> 00:00:49.606
Brother have the first pancake.'" ryan turned to
00:00:49.672 --> 00:00:51.608
Pancake.'" ryan turned to his younger brother and
00:00:51.674 --> 00:00:52.575
His younger brother and said, "okay kevin, you
00:00:52.642 --> 00:00:53.977
Said, "okay kevin, you be jesus."
00:00:54.043 --> 00:00:55.745
Be jesus." say it like you mean it.
00:00:55.812 --> 00:00:57.247
Say it like you mean it. this is my bible.
00:00:57.313 --> 00:00:58.848
This is my bible. i am what it says i am.
00:00:58.915 --> 00:01:00.817
I am what it says i am. i have what it says i have.
00:01:00.884 --> 00:01:02.652
I have what it says i have. i can do what it says
00:01:02.719 --> 00:01:03.820
I can do what it says i can do.
00:01:03.887 --> 00:01:04.888
I can do. today i will be taught the
00:01:04.954 --> 00:01:06.422
Today i will be taught the word of god.
00:01:06.489 --> 00:01:07.724
Word of god. i boldly confess:
00:01:07.790 --> 00:01:09.292
I boldly confess: my mind is alert.
00:01:09.359 --> 00:01:10.727
My mind is alert. my heart is receptive.
00:01:10.793 --> 00:01:12.195
My heart is receptive. i will never be the same
00:01:12.262 --> 00:01:13.930
I will never be the same in jesus' name.
00:01:13.997 --> 00:01:15.732
In jesus' name. god bless you.
00:01:15.798 --> 00:01:16.733
God bless you. i want to talk to you today
00:01:16.799 --> 00:01:18.735
I want to talk to you today about mix your faith.
00:01:18.801 --> 00:01:20.904
About mix your faith. god has given us all these
00:01:20.970 --> 00:01:22.205
God has given us all these powerful promises in the
00:01:22.272 --> 00:01:23.806
Powerful promises in the scripture.
00:01:23.873 --> 00:01:24.807
Scripture. promises that say we will
00:01:24.874 --> 00:01:26.442
Promises that say we will live an abundant life, we
00:01:26.509 --> 00:01:28.411
Live an abundant life, we will be healthy and whole,
00:01:28.478 --> 00:01:30.046
Will be healthy and whole, we can do all things through
00:01:30.113 --> 00:01:31.247
We can do all things through christ, on and on.
00:01:31.314 --> 00:01:33.249
Christ, on and on. hundreds of promises of
00:01:33.316 --> 00:01:34.984
Hundreds of promises of favor, increase,
00:01:35.051 --> 00:01:36.452
Favor, increase, restoration.
00:01:36.519 --> 00:01:38.221
Restoration. but as powerful as these
00:01:38.288 --> 00:01:39.622
But as powerful as these promises are, as encouraging
00:01:39.689 --> 00:01:42.058
Promises are, as encouraging and inspiring as they can
00:01:42.125 --> 00:01:43.593
And inspiring as they can be, by themselves these
00:01:43.660 --> 00:01:45.929
Be, by themselves these promises won't do you any
00:01:45.995 --> 00:01:47.664
Promises won't do you any good. on their own, you
00:01:47.730 --> 00:01:49.699
Good. on their own, you won't see any change.
00:01:49.766 --> 00:01:51.234
Won't see any change. they're just nice,
00:01:51.301 --> 00:01:52.302
They're just nice, encouraging words.
00:01:52.368 --> 00:01:54.137
Encouraging words. you have to add an
00:01:54.204 --> 00:01:55.305
You have to add an ingredient that activates
00:01:55.371 --> 00:01:57.407
Ingredient that activates the power.
00:01:57.473 --> 00:01:58.608
The power. there's something you have;
00:01:58.675 --> 00:02:00.343
There's something you have; when you put it with the
00:02:00.410 --> 00:02:01.411
When you put it with the promise that's what makes it
00:02:01.477 --> 00:02:03.446
Promise that's what makes it come alive and become what
00:02:03.513 --> 00:02:05.648
Come alive and become what god said.
00:02:05.715 --> 00:02:07.217
God said. hebrews 4 says, "the word
00:02:07.283 --> 00:02:09.652
Hebrews 4 says, "the word did not profit them, not
00:02:09.719 --> 00:02:11.854
Did not profit them, not being mixed with faith when
00:02:11.921 --> 00:02:13.856
Being mixed with faith when they heard it."
00:02:13.923 --> 00:02:15.291
They heard it." these people heard the
00:02:15.358 --> 00:02:16.326
These people heard the promises, god told them they
00:02:16.392 --> 00:02:18.661
Promises, god told them they were going to overcome
00:02:18.728 --> 00:02:19.729
Were going to overcome opposition, defeat enemies
00:02:19.796 --> 00:02:21.998
Opposition, defeat enemies and make it in to the
00:02:22.065 --> 00:02:23.132
And make it in to the promised land.
00:02:23.199 --> 00:02:24.567
Promised land. he told them they would live
00:02:24.634 --> 00:02:26.002
He told them they would live in houses that they didn't
00:02:26.069 --> 00:02:27.537
In houses that they didn't build, have vineyards that
00:02:27.604 --> 00:02:29.439
Build, have vineyards that they didn't plant.
00:02:29.505 --> 00:02:30.974
They didn't plant. but just because god
00:02:31.040 --> 00:02:32.342
But just because god promised it doesn't mean
00:02:32.408 --> 00:02:34.010
Promised it doesn't mean it's automatically going to
00:02:34.077 --> 00:02:35.178
It's automatically going to happen.
00:02:35.245 --> 00:02:36.212
Happen. he throws the promise out
00:02:36.279 --> 00:02:37.714
He throws the promise out like a seed.
00:02:37.780 --> 00:02:39.082
Like a seed. what kind of ground is it
00:02:39.148 --> 00:02:40.450
What kind of ground is it going to fall on?
00:02:40.516 --> 00:02:42.051
Going to fall on? some people hear the promise
00:02:42.118 --> 00:02:43.553
Some people hear the promise that god is restoring health
00:02:43.620 --> 00:02:45.421
That god is restoring health back unto them.
00:02:45.488 --> 00:02:46.689
Back unto them. instead of mixing faith,
00:02:46.756 --> 00:02:48.491
Instead of mixing faith, they think, "i'll never get
00:02:48.558 --> 00:02:50.093
They think, "i'll never get well, did you see the
00:02:50.159 --> 00:02:51.527
Well, did you see the medical report?"
00:02:51.594 --> 00:02:53.129
Medical report?" they're mixing something,
00:02:53.196 --> 00:02:54.731
They're mixing something, the problem is, it's the
00:02:54.797 --> 00:02:56.299
The problem is, it's the wrong thing.
00:02:56.366 --> 00:02:57.533
Wrong thing. they're mixing doubt, mixing
00:02:57.600 --> 00:02:59.369
They're mixing doubt, mixing unbelief.
00:02:59.435 --> 00:03:00.436
Unbelief. that's why god's word did
00:03:00.503 --> 00:03:02.038
That's why god's word did not profit them.
00:03:02.105 --> 00:03:03.640
Not profit them. profit means they didn't see
00:03:03.706 --> 00:03:05.341
Profit means they didn't see increase, they didn't
00:03:05.408 --> 00:03:06.609
Increase, they didn't overcome the challenge, they
00:03:06.676 --> 00:03:08.211
Overcome the challenge, they didn't have the favor.
00:03:08.278 --> 00:03:09.812
Didn't have the favor. not because god wasn't able,
00:03:09.879 --> 00:03:12.282
Not because god wasn't able, not because the promise
00:03:12.348 --> 00:03:13.449
Not because the promise lost its power, it's
00:03:13.516 --> 00:03:15.251
Lost its power, it's because the promise wasn't
00:03:15.318 --> 00:03:17.420
Because the promise wasn't mixed with faith.
00:03:17.487 --> 00:03:19.489
Mixed with faith. god brought the israelites
00:03:19.555 --> 00:03:20.890
God brought the israelites out of slavery, he parted
00:03:20.957 --> 00:03:22.759
Out of slavery, he parted the red sea, drowned their
00:03:22.825 --> 00:03:24.527
The red sea, drowned their enemies and they made it to
00:03:24.594 --> 00:03:26.095
Enemies and they made it to the promised land; they were
00:03:26.162 --> 00:03:27.730
The promised land; they were camped next door.
00:03:27.797 --> 00:03:29.666
Camped next door. you would think they would
00:03:29.732 --> 00:03:30.566
You would think they would be full of faith, ready to
00:03:30.633 --> 00:03:32.168
Be full of faith, ready to take the land, knowing that
00:03:32.235 --> 00:03:33.770
Take the land, knowing that god had brought them through
00:03:33.836 --> 00:03:34.804
God had brought them through in the past and he would
00:03:34.871 --> 00:03:36.105
In the past and he would bring them through this
00:03:36.172 --> 00:03:37.040
Bring them through this time.
00:03:37.106 --> 00:03:38.207
Time. moses sent twelve men to spy
00:03:38.274 --> 00:03:40.576
Moses sent twelve men to spy out the promised land, ten
00:03:40.643 --> 00:03:42.645
Out the promised land, ten of them came back and said,
00:03:42.712 --> 00:03:44.380
Of them came back and said, "we don't have a chance.
00:03:44.447 --> 00:03:45.515
"we don't have a chance. the people are too big.
00:03:45.581 --> 00:03:46.816
The people are too big. we felt like grasshoppers
00:03:46.883 --> 00:03:48.818
We felt like grasshoppers compared to them."
00:03:48.885 --> 00:03:50.653
Compared to them." god had already promised
00:03:50.720 --> 00:03:52.288
God had already promised them the victory.
00:03:52.355 --> 00:03:53.523
Them the victory. he'd already told them the
00:03:53.589 --> 00:03:55.091
He'd already told them the land was theirs, they just
00:03:55.158 --> 00:03:56.693
Land was theirs, they just had to do go in and possess
00:03:56.759 --> 00:03:58.127
Had to do go in and possess it.
00:03:58.194 --> 00:03:58.895
It. they had the promise, god
00:03:58.961 --> 00:04:00.596
They had the promise, god had spoken to them, but the
00:04:00.663 --> 00:04:02.498
Had spoken to them, but the promise alone is not enough.
00:04:02.565 --> 00:04:05.368
Promise alone is not enough. god does his part then he
00:04:05.435 --> 00:04:07.203
God does his part then he waits to see what we're
00:04:07.270 --> 00:04:08.971
Waits to see what we're going to do.
00:04:09.038 --> 00:04:10.340
Going to do. what are you going to mix
00:04:10.406 --> 00:04:11.607
What are you going to mix with the promise?
00:04:11.674 --> 00:04:12.975
With the promise? there's only one ingredient
00:04:13.042 --> 00:04:14.677
There's only one ingredient that activates the power,
00:04:14.744 --> 00:04:16.379
That activates the power, only one ingredient that
00:04:16.446 --> 00:04:18.014
Only one ingredient that ignites what god said, and
00:04:18.081 --> 00:04:20.016
Ignites what god said, and that's faith.
00:04:20.083 --> 00:04:21.250
That's faith. how do we mix our faith?
00:04:21.317 --> 00:04:22.785
How do we mix our faith? we agree with what god
00:04:22.852 --> 00:04:24.287
We agree with what god promised.
00:04:24.354 --> 00:04:25.355
Promised. "lord, thank you that as for
00:04:25.421 --> 00:04:27.123
"lord, thank you that as for me and my house we will
00:04:27.190 --> 00:04:28.825
Me and my house we will serve the lord.
00:04:28.891 --> 00:04:30.093
Serve the lord. thank you that the number of
00:04:30.159 --> 00:04:31.728
Thank you that the number of my days you will fulfill."
00:04:31.794 --> 00:04:33.963
My days you will fulfill." that's not just being
00:04:34.030 --> 00:04:35.131
That's not just being positive, that's mixing your
00:04:35.198 --> 00:04:36.999
Positive, that's mixing your faith.
00:04:37.066 --> 00:04:37.767
Faith. that's what activates the
00:04:37.834 --> 00:04:39.135
That's what activates the promise.
00:04:39.202 --> 00:04:40.703
Promise. when the israelites heard
00:04:40.770 --> 00:04:42.171
When the israelites heard this negative report, it
00:04:42.238 --> 00:04:44.006
This negative report, it began to spread all throughout
00:04:44.073 --> 00:04:45.241
Began to spread all throughout the camp.
00:04:45.308 --> 00:04:46.542
The camp. before long, two million
00:04:46.609 --> 00:04:48.344
Before long, two million people were afraid,
00:04:48.411 --> 00:04:49.846
People were afraid, complaining, saying, "moses
00:04:49.912 --> 00:04:52.048
Complaining, saying, "moses let's go back to egypt.
00:04:52.115 --> 00:04:53.850
Let's go back to egypt. let's go back to being slaves."
00:04:53.916 --> 00:04:55.852
Let's go back to being slaves." the mistake they made is
00:04:55.918 --> 00:04:57.553
The mistake they made is they mixed in doubt.
00:04:57.620 --> 00:04:59.122
They mixed in doubt. they mixed in unbelief.
00:04:59.188 --> 00:05:00.757
They mixed in unbelief. what happened?
00:05:00.823 --> 00:05:01.824
What happened? the word did not profit
00:05:01.891 --> 00:05:03.493
The word did not profit them.
00:05:03.559 --> 00:05:04.293
Them. they never made it into the
00:05:04.360 --> 00:05:05.762
They never made it into the promised land.
00:05:05.828 --> 00:05:07.530
Promised land. what are you mixing with
00:05:07.597 --> 00:05:09.098
What are you mixing with what god promised you?
00:05:09.165 --> 00:05:11.033
What god promised you? god said, he'll make streams
00:05:11.100 --> 00:05:12.935
God said, he'll make streams in the desert, even in
00:05:13.002 --> 00:05:14.570
In the desert, even in famine you will have more
00:05:14.637 --> 00:05:15.972
Famine you will have more than enough.
00:05:16.038 --> 00:05:16.973
Than enough. here's the key, you don't
00:05:17.039 --> 00:05:18.441
Here's the key, you don't have to have a lot of faith.
00:05:18.508 --> 00:05:20.810
Have to have a lot of faith. the scripture says, "if you
00:05:20.877 --> 00:05:22.278
The scripture says, "if you have faith the size of a
00:05:22.345 --> 00:05:23.846
Have faith the size of a mustard seed, you can move
00:05:23.913 --> 00:05:25.848
Mustard seed, you can move a mountain."
00:05:25.915 --> 00:05:27.083
A mountain." what you're up against may
00:05:27.150 --> 00:05:28.451
What you're up against may seem impossible, the odds
00:05:28.518 --> 00:05:30.486
Seem impossible, the odds are against you, but when
00:05:30.553 --> 00:05:32.088
Are against you, but when you say, "god, i know you
00:05:32.155 --> 00:05:34.490
You say, "god, i know you can do the impossible.
00:05:34.557 --> 00:05:36.325
Can do the impossible. you said when the enemy
00:05:36.392 --> 00:05:37.560
You said when the enemy comes in like a flood, you
00:05:37.627 --> 00:05:39.162
Comes in like a flood, you would raise up a barrier.
00:05:39.228 --> 00:05:40.797
Would raise up a barrier. you said whom the son sets
00:05:40.863 --> 00:05:42.365
You said whom the son sets free is free indeed.
00:05:42.432 --> 00:05:44.367
Free is free indeed. you said my children will be
00:05:44.434 --> 00:05:46.102
You said my children will be mighty in the land."
00:05:46.169 --> 00:05:47.837
Mighty in the land." you know what you did?
00:05:47.904 --> 00:05:48.971
You know what you did? you just mixed in faith.
00:05:49.038 --> 00:05:51.274
You just mixed in faith. faith ignites the promise.
00:05:51.340 --> 00:05:53.576
Faith ignites the promise. like a match, even though
00:05:53.643 --> 00:05:55.244
Like a match, even though it's small, even though it
00:05:55.311 --> 00:05:56.779
It's small, even though it doesn't look like much, it's
00:05:56.846 --> 00:05:58.114
Doesn't look like much, it's powerful.
00:05:58.181 --> 00:05:59.182
Powerful. there's fire in the match.
00:05:59.248 --> 00:06:00.850
There's fire in the match. it can become a huge force,
00:06:00.917 --> 00:06:02.885
It can become a huge force, but nothing happens until
00:06:02.952 --> 00:06:04.720
But nothing happens until you ignite it.
00:06:04.787 --> 00:06:06.088
You ignite it. when you strike that match
00:06:06.155 --> 00:06:07.490
When you strike that match and it catches fire, then
00:06:07.557 --> 00:06:09.292
And it catches fire, then the power is released.
00:06:09.358 --> 00:06:11.494
The power is released. it's the same way with the
00:06:11.561 --> 00:06:12.895
It's the same way with the promises, they're powerful.
00:06:12.962 --> 00:06:15.331
Promises, they're powerful. they can bring healing, they
00:06:15.398 --> 00:06:17.066
They can bring healing, they can restore relationships,
00:06:17.133 --> 00:06:18.968
Can restore relationships, they can catapult you to a
00:06:19.035 --> 00:06:20.369
They can catapult you to a new level, but they won't do
00:06:20.436 --> 00:06:22.371
New level, but they won't do you any good until you
00:06:22.438 --> 00:06:24.207
You any good until you ignite them.
00:06:24.273 --> 00:06:25.741
Ignite them. when you mix your faith with
00:06:25.808 --> 00:06:27.376
When you mix your faith with the promises, powerful
00:06:27.443 --> 00:06:29.078
The promises, powerful things happen.
00:06:29.145 --> 00:06:30.680
Things happen. a little match can start a
00:06:30.746 --> 00:06:32.415
A little match can start a huge fire.
00:06:32.482 --> 00:06:33.850
Huge fire. a little faith can start a
00:06:33.916 --> 00:06:35.585
A little faith can start a huge blessing.
00:06:35.651 --> 00:06:37.053
Huge blessing. little faith can open big

Compaq center. little faith can heal you
00:06:42.592 --> 00:06:43.960
Little faith can heal you from a terminal illness.
00:06:44.026 --> 00:06:45.695
From a terminal illness. little faith can defeat
00:06:45.761 --> 00:06:47.263
Little faith can defeat great giants.
00:06:47.330 --> 00:06:48.731
Great giants. don't believe those lies
00:06:48.798 --> 00:06:49.899
Don't believe those lies that you don't have enough
00:06:49.966 --> 00:06:51.100
That you don't have enough faith.
00:06:51.167 --> 00:06:51.767
Faith. you have the faith you need
00:06:51.834 --> 00:06:53.603
You have the faith you need to get you to your destiny.
00:06:53.669 --> 00:06:55.571
To get you to your destiny. now do your part and start
00:06:55.638 --> 00:06:57.206
Now do your part and start mixing faith with the
00:06:57.273 --> 00:06:58.541
Mixing faith with the promises.
00:06:58.608 --> 00:07:00.209
Promises. when i was growing up, my
00:07:00.276 --> 00:07:01.444
When i was growing up, my mother always cooked for the
00:07:01.511 --> 00:07:02.845
Mother always cooked for the family, there were five of
00:07:02.912 --> 00:07:04.380
Family, there were five of us children.
00:07:04.447 --> 00:07:05.448
Us children. she was a good cook, i'm
00:07:05.515 --> 00:07:07.183
She was a good cook, i'm saying that by faith,
00:07:07.250 --> 00:07:08.451
Saying that by faith, remembering the meals that i
00:07:08.518 --> 00:07:09.619
Remembering the meals that i could eat.
00:07:09.685 --> 00:07:10.520
Could eat. but my mother was
00:07:10.586 --> 00:07:11.354
But my mother was interesting, she didn't
00:07:11.420 --> 00:07:13.055
Interesting, she didn't necessarily go by the
00:07:13.122 --> 00:07:14.857
Necessarily go by the recipes.
00:07:14.924 --> 00:07:15.925
Recipes. she just added whatever she
00:07:15.992 --> 00:07:17.560
She just added whatever she had available.
00:07:17.627 --> 00:07:19.095
Had available. one time i was in the
00:07:19.161 --> 00:07:20.129
One time i was in the kitchen with her, i was
00:07:20.196 --> 00:07:21.731
Kitchen with her, i was about seven years old.
00:07:21.797 --> 00:07:23.332
About seven years old. she was making a cake.
00:07:23.399 --> 00:07:24.967
She was making a cake. she realized she didn't have
00:07:25.034 --> 00:07:26.335
She realized she didn't have any sugar.
00:07:26.402 --> 00:07:27.436
Any sugar. the recipe called for a half
00:07:27.503 --> 00:07:28.838
The recipe called for a half a cup.
00:07:28.905 --> 00:07:29.705
A cup. i thought, "what are we
00:07:29.772 --> 00:07:30.373
I thought, "what are we going to do?"
00:07:30.439 --> 00:07:31.374
Going to do?" she said, "oh, joel, it's no
00:07:31.440 --> 00:07:32.608
She said, "oh, joel, it's no problem, i'll just add a
00:07:32.675 --> 00:07:34.210
Problem, i'll just add a half of cup of applesauce
00:07:34.277 --> 00:07:36.078
Half of cup of applesauce instead.
00:07:36.145 --> 00:07:37.013
Instead. you love applesauce."
00:07:37.079 --> 00:07:38.915
You love applesauce." she mixed up all the
00:07:38.981 --> 00:07:40.016
She mixed up all the ingredients and poured
00:07:40.082 --> 00:07:41.584
Ingredients and poured them into one of those tall
00:07:41.651 --> 00:07:43.185
Them into one of those tall containers, about six inches
00:07:43.252 --> 00:07:44.887
Containers, about six inches high, like a bundt cake.
00:07:44.954 --> 00:07:47.023
High, like a bundt cake. it was supposed to rise and
00:07:47.089 --> 00:07:48.658
It was supposed to rise and fill the container.
00:07:48.724 --> 00:07:50.326
Fill the container. thirty minutes later, she
00:07:50.393 --> 00:07:51.561
Thirty minutes later, she took it out of the oven, it
00:07:51.627 --> 00:07:53.062
Took it out of the oven, it was about an inch tall.
00:07:53.129 --> 00:07:54.964
Was about an inch tall. you think i'm an optimist,
00:07:55.031 --> 00:07:56.532
You think i'm an optimist, my mother said, "joel, it
00:07:56.599 --> 00:07:57.700
My mother said, "joel, it will still be delicious."
00:07:57.767 --> 00:07:59.569
Will still be delicious." i took one bite, it tasted
00:07:59.635 --> 00:08:01.370
I took one bite, it tasted like washing detergent.
00:08:01.437 --> 00:08:03.239
Like washing detergent. thank god the scripture
00:08:03.306 --> 00:08:04.173
Thank god the scripture says, "if you eat any deadly
00:08:04.240 --> 00:08:06.008
Says, "if you eat any deadly thing it will not harm you."
00:08:06.075 --> 00:08:08.578
Thing it will not harm you." what's my point?
00:08:08.644 --> 00:08:10.012
What's my point? when you're cooking, the
00:08:10.079 --> 00:08:11.247
When you're cooking, the right ingredients matter.
00:08:11.314 --> 00:08:13.516
Right ingredients matter. you can substitute
00:08:13.583 --> 00:08:14.650
You can substitute applesauce for sugar but
00:08:14.717 --> 00:08:16.652
Applesauce for sugar but you're not going to get the
00:08:16.719 --> 00:08:17.553
You're not going to get the results you're looking for.
00:08:17.620 --> 00:08:19.889
Results you're looking for. in the same way, god has a
00:08:19.956 --> 00:08:21.857
In the same way, god has a recipe so to speak to bring
00:08:21.924 --> 00:08:23.960
Recipe so to speak to bring his promises to pass.
00:08:24.026 --> 00:08:25.928
His promises to pass. there's a specific
00:08:25.995 --> 00:08:27.129
There's a specific ingredient you have to add.
00:08:27.196 --> 00:08:29.365
Ingredient you have to add. it's called faith.
00:08:29.432 --> 00:08:30.900
It's called faith. if you put something else
00:08:30.967 --> 00:08:32.201
If you put something else in, you're not going to get
00:08:32.268 --> 00:08:33.603
In, you're not going to get the right results.
00:08:33.669 --> 00:08:35.204
The right results. too often, we're mixing in
00:08:35.271 --> 00:08:36.806
Too often, we're mixing in doubt, fear, worry and we
00:08:36.872 --> 00:08:39.609
Doubt, fear, worry and we wonder why our cake is not
00:08:39.675 --> 00:08:41.210
Wonder why our cake is not rising.
00:08:41.277 --> 00:08:42.278
Rising. "it's never going happen,
00:08:42.345 --> 00:08:43.980
"it's never going happen, i'm too old, this problem is
00:08:44.046 --> 00:08:45.881
I'm too old, this problem is too big, everybody in my
00:08:45.948 --> 00:08:47.883
Too big, everybody in my family has this addiction."
00:08:47.950 --> 00:08:49.719
Family has this addiction." do yourself a favor, go back
00:08:49.785 --> 00:08:51.754
Do yourself a favor, go back to the recipe.
00:08:51.821 --> 00:08:53.122
To the recipe. quit adding all these
00:08:53.189 --> 00:08:54.357
Quit adding all these ingredients that are not
00:08:54.423 --> 00:08:55.858
Ingredients that are not called for.
00:08:55.925 --> 00:08:56.959
Called for. start adding in faith.
00:08:57.026 --> 00:08:59.061
Start adding in faith. "father, thank you that what
00:08:59.128 --> 00:09:00.730
"father, thank you that what you started in my life you
00:09:00.796 --> 00:09:02.765
You started in my life you will finish.
00:09:02.832 --> 00:09:03.899
Will finish. thank you that i am strong
00:09:03.966 --> 00:09:05.368
Thank you that i am strong in the lord.
00:09:05.434 --> 00:09:06.335
In the lord. thank you that i can do all
00:09:06.402 --> 00:09:07.637
Thank you that i can do all things through christ.
00:09:07.703 --> 00:09:09.038
Things through christ. thank you that the enemies i
00:09:09.105 --> 00:09:10.373
Thank you that the enemies i see today i will see no
00:09:10.439 --> 00:09:12.208
See today i will see no more."
00:09:12.274 --> 00:09:13.242
More." the two other spies, joshua
00:09:13.309 --> 00:09:16.012
The two other spies, joshua and caleb, came back from
00:09:16.078 --> 00:09:17.813
And caleb, came back from the promised land, they had
00:09:17.880 --> 00:09:19.649
The promised land, they had a different report.
00:09:19.715 --> 00:09:21.250
A different report. they said, "moses we are
00:09:21.317 --> 00:09:22.485
They said, "moses we are well able to take the land.
00:09:22.551 --> 00:09:24.887
Well able to take the land. yes, the giants are big, but
00:09:24.954 --> 00:09:26.756
Yes, the giants are big, but we know our god is bigger,
00:09:26.822 --> 00:09:28.891
We know our god is bigger, let us go in at once."
00:09:28.958 --> 00:09:31.360
Let us go in at once." unlike the other spies,
00:09:31.427 --> 00:09:33.295
Unlike the other spies, these two men chose to mix
00:09:33.362 --> 00:09:35.197
These two men chose to mix faith with the promise.
00:09:35.264 --> 00:09:37.199
Faith with the promise. they saw the same giants,
00:09:37.266 --> 00:09:39.001
They saw the same giants, same obstacles, same
00:09:39.068 --> 00:09:40.536
Same obstacles, same problem.
00:09:40.603 --> 00:09:41.637
Problem. i'm sure they were tempted
00:09:41.704 --> 00:09:42.805
I'm sure they were tempted to complain, "we don't have
00:09:42.872 --> 00:09:44.473
To complain, "we don't have a chance."
00:09:44.540 --> 00:09:45.641
A chance." but they understood this
00:09:45.708 --> 00:09:46.876
But they understood this principle.
00:09:46.942 --> 00:09:47.943
Principle. if the promise is going to
00:09:48.010 --> 00:09:49.378
If the promise is going to be fulfilled, you have to
00:09:49.445 --> 00:09:51.247
Be fulfilled, you have to add the right ingredient.
00:09:51.313 --> 00:09:52.715
Add the right ingredient. you can't go around talking
00:09:52.782 --> 00:09:54.717
You can't go around talking defeat.
00:09:54.784 --> 00:09:55.718
Defeat. you can't live worried
00:09:55.785 --> 00:09:57.053
You can't live worried thinking it's never going to
00:09:57.119 --> 00:09:58.120
Thinking it's never going to work out, afraid that you're
00:09:58.187 --> 00:09:59.889
Work out, afraid that you're not going to get well.
00:09:59.955 --> 00:10:01.557
Not going to get well. that's not going to activate
00:10:01.624 --> 00:10:03.059
That's not going to activate the promise.
00:10:03.125 --> 00:10:03.726
The promise. you have to mix in your
00:10:03.793 --> 00:10:05.494
You have to mix in your faith.
00:10:05.561 --> 00:10:06.929
Faith. maybe your child is off
00:10:06.996 --> 00:10:08.097
Maybe your child is off course, not making good
00:10:08.164 --> 00:10:09.865
Course, not making good decisions; running with the
00:10:09.932 --> 00:10:11.167
Decisions; running with the wrong crowd.
00:10:11.233 --> 00:10:12.635
Wrong crowd. god promises, "the seed of
00:10:12.702 --> 00:10:15.037
God promises, "the seed of the righteous, that means
00:10:15.104 --> 00:10:16.639
The righteous, that means your children, will be
00:10:16.706 --> 00:10:18.040
Your children, will be mighty in the land."
00:10:18.107 --> 00:10:20.076
Mighty in the land." that promise gives us hope.
00:10:20.142 --> 00:10:22.278
That promise gives us hope. it lets us know that god's
00:10:22.344 --> 00:10:23.579
It lets us know that god's favor is on our children.
00:10:23.646 --> 00:10:25.614
Favor is on our children. they will be influential,
00:10:25.681 --> 00:10:27.216
They will be influential, successful, history makers.
00:10:27.283 --> 00:10:29.719
Successful, history makers. but although this promise is
00:10:29.785 --> 00:10:31.220
But although this promise is powerful, although it has
00:10:31.287 --> 00:10:33.122
Powerful, although it has the potential to thrust our
00:10:33.189 --> 00:10:35.024
The potential to thrust our children into their destiny,
00:10:35.091 --> 00:10:37.126
Children into their destiny, to break chains that are
00:10:37.193 --> 00:10:38.294
To break chains that are holding them back, to set
00:10:38.360 --> 00:10:39.929
Holding them back, to set them on the course to rise
00:10:39.995 --> 00:10:41.263
Them on the course to rise higher.
00:10:41.330 --> 00:10:42.331
Higher. it won't do them any good
00:10:42.398 --> 00:10:44.366
It won't do them any good unless we mix our faith with
00:10:44.433 --> 00:10:46.001
Unless we mix our faith with it.
00:10:46.068 --> 00:10:46.769
It. you have to make it
00:10:46.836 --> 00:10:47.570
You have to make it personal.
00:10:47.636 --> 00:10:48.370
Personal. "father thank you that my
00:10:48.437 --> 00:10:49.939
"father thank you that my children will be mighty in
00:10:50.005 --> 00:10:52.041
Children will be mighty in the land.
00:10:52.108 --> 00:10:52.842
The land. thank you that your hand of
00:10:52.908 --> 00:10:53.976
Thank you that your hand of favor is upon them.
00:10:54.043 --> 00:10:55.811
Favor is upon them. thank you that they will
00:10:55.878 --> 00:10:56.612
Thank you that they will become who you created them
00:10:56.679 --> 00:10:58.647
Become who you created them to be."
00:10:58.714 --> 00:10:59.715
To be." you just ignited the
00:10:59.782 --> 00:11:01.050
You just ignited the promised.
00:11:01.117 --> 00:11:02.017
Promised. that's when you're going to
00:11:02.084 --> 00:11:02.818
That's when you're going to see the word profit you.
00:11:02.885 --> 00:11:05.054
See the word profit you. it may not happen overnight
00:11:05.121 --> 00:11:06.822
It may not happen overnight but keep mixing faith, keep
00:11:06.889 --> 00:11:08.691
But keep mixing faith, keep declaring what god said,
00:11:08.758 --> 00:11:10.292
Declaring what god said, keep talking like it's on
00:11:10.359 --> 00:11:11.494
Keep talking like it's on the way.
00:11:11.560 --> 00:11:12.261
The way. god is faithful to his word.
00:11:12.328 --> 00:11:15.531
God is faithful to his word. what's interesting is joshua
00:11:15.598 --> 00:11:17.767
What's interesting is joshua and caleb were the only two
00:11:17.833 --> 00:11:20.636
And caleb were the only two out of that whole group of
00:11:20.703 --> 00:11:22.438
Out of that whole group of over two million people
00:11:22.505 --> 00:11:24.373
Over two million people that ever made it into
00:11:24.440 --> 00:11:25.808
That ever made it into the promised land.
00:11:25.875 --> 00:11:27.276
The promised land. it's because they were the
00:11:27.343 --> 00:11:28.778
It's because they were the only two that mixed faith
00:11:28.844 --> 00:11:30.713
Only two that mixed faith with the promises.
00:11:30.780 --> 00:11:32.114
With the promises. the only two that saw the
00:11:32.181 --> 00:11:33.849
The only two that saw the word profit them.
00:11:33.916 --> 00:11:34.884
Word profit them. i wonder how many promises
00:11:34.950 --> 00:11:37.920
I wonder how many promises are not profiting us simply
00:11:37.987 --> 00:11:40.356
Are not profiting us simply because we're not mixing
00:11:40.422 --> 00:11:42.258
Because we're not mixing faith with them.
00:11:42.324 --> 00:11:44.026
Faith with them. "well, if god wants to heal
00:11:44.093 --> 00:11:45.194
"well, if god wants to heal me, he'll heal me.
00:11:45.261 --> 00:11:46.595
Me, he'll heal me. if he wants to bless me,
00:11:46.662 --> 00:11:47.763
If he wants to bless me, he'll bless me."
00:11:47.830 --> 00:11:49.131
He'll bless me." no, even though god is all
00:11:49.198 --> 00:11:50.766
No, even though god is all powerful, even though he
00:11:50.833 --> 00:11:52.368
Powerful, even though he controls the universe, he
00:11:52.434 --> 00:11:54.303
Controls the universe, he needs an ingredient from
00:11:54.370 --> 00:11:56.138
Needs an ingredient from you.
00:11:56.205 --> 00:11:57.173
You. the scripture says, "without
00:11:57.239 --> 00:11:58.808
The scripture says, "without faith it's impossible to
00:11:58.874 --> 00:12:00.776
Faith it's impossible to please god."
00:12:00.843 --> 00:12:02.344
Please god." he doesn't necessarily need
00:12:02.411 --> 00:12:04.013
He doesn't necessarily need your talent, your ability,
00:12:04.079 --> 00:12:05.881
Your talent, your ability, your education, he needs
00:12:05.948 --> 00:12:07.783
Your education, he needs your faith.
00:12:07.850 --> 00:12:09.018
Your faith. he needs you to get in
00:12:09.084 --> 00:12:10.052
He needs you to get in agreement with him, to take
00:12:10.119 --> 00:12:11.921
Agreement with him, to take that promise and believe it
00:12:11.987 --> 00:12:14.056
That promise and believe it will come to pass.
00:12:14.123 --> 00:12:15.891
Will come to pass. i talked to a young lady
00:12:15.958 --> 00:12:17.126
I talked to a young lady that was trying to have a
00:12:17.193 --> 00:12:18.160
That was trying to have a baby.
00:12:18.227 --> 00:12:19.261
Baby. years had gone by with no
00:12:19.328 --> 00:12:20.663
Years had gone by with no success.
00:12:20.729 --> 00:12:21.330
Success. she had taken the fertility
00:12:21.397 --> 00:12:23.065
She had taken the fertility treatments, now medically
00:12:23.132 --> 00:12:24.800
Treatments, now medically speaking she was told it was
00:12:24.867 --> 00:12:26.569
Speaking she was told it was not possible.
00:12:26.635 --> 00:12:27.970
Not possible. it's easy to accept it,
00:12:28.037 --> 00:12:29.805
It's easy to accept it, think it's not meant to be.
00:12:29.872 --> 00:12:31.640
Think it's not meant to be. but there are promises you
00:12:31.707 --> 00:12:33.242
But there are promises you need to activate.
00:12:33.309 --> 00:12:34.810
Need to activate. it says in psalm 113, "god
00:12:34.877 --> 00:12:37.346
It says in psalm 113, "god will make the barren woman a
00:12:37.413 --> 00:12:39.215
Will make the barren woman a happy mother of children."
00:12:39.281 --> 00:12:41.684
Happy mother of children." god can bring your womb back
00:12:41.750 --> 00:12:43.452
God can bring your womb back to life.
00:12:43.519 --> 00:12:44.453
To life. it's not too late.
00:12:44.520 --> 00:12:45.721
It's not too late. he can cause you to defy the
00:12:45.788 --> 00:12:47.323
He can cause you to defy the odds and give you a child.
00:12:47.389 --> 00:12:49.925
Odds and give you a child. but this promise on its own
00:12:49.992 --> 00:12:51.994
But this promise on its own won't do you any good.
00:12:52.061 --> 00:12:53.529
Won't do you any good. it's just a hopeful
00:12:53.596 --> 00:12:54.396
It's just a hopeful statement.
00:12:54.463 --> 00:12:55.397
Statement. it needs another ingredient,
00:12:55.464 --> 00:12:57.566
It needs another ingredient, your faith.
00:12:57.633 --> 00:12:59.168
Your faith. i can declare it over you,
00:12:59.235 --> 00:13:00.970
I can declare it over you, other people can pray that
00:13:01.036 --> 00:13:02.338
Other people can pray that god will give you a child,
00:13:02.404 --> 00:13:03.739
God will give you a child, and that's good, but there's
00:13:03.806 --> 00:13:05.407
And that's good, but there's nothing more powerful than
00:13:05.474 --> 00:13:07.376
Nothing more powerful than when you mix your faith with
00:13:07.443 --> 00:13:09.211
When you mix your faith with the promise.
00:13:09.278 --> 00:13:10.012
The promise. that's when angels go to
00:13:10.079 --> 00:13:11.247
That's when angels go to work, that's when miracles
00:13:11.313 --> 00:13:13.015
Work, that's when miracles are set in motion.
00:13:13.082 --> 00:13:14.850
Are set in motion. instead of thinking it will
00:13:14.917 --> 00:13:15.851
Instead of thinking it will never happen, all through
00:13:15.918 --> 00:13:17.386
Never happen, all through the day, "father, thank you
00:13:17.453 --> 00:13:19.288
The day, "father, thank you that the fruit of my womb is

That the fruit of my womb is blessed.

Blessed. thank you that there's a

Thank you that there's a baby that already has my

Baby that already has my name on them.
00:13:24.827 --> 00:13:26.161
Name on them. thank you for what you
00:13:26.228 --> 00:13:26.929
Thank you for what you promised, that you will make

Promised, that you will make me the happy mother of

Me the happy mother of children."

Children." find promises that have to

Believing for and start mixing your faith with them.

Mixing your faith with them. there are blessings,

There are blessings, healing, freedom, new levels
00:13:39.909 --> 00:13:42.411
Healing, freedom, new levels that god has for you, but
00:13:42.478 --> 00:13:44.246
That god has for you, but they're only activated when
00:13:44.313 --> 00:13:46.081
They're only activated when you get in agreement.
00:13:46.148 --> 00:13:48.117
You get in agreement. psalm 30 says, "god has

Psalm 30 says, "god has blessings stored up for the

Blessings stored up for the righteous."

Righteous." i want to activate that

I want to activate that promise.
00:13:54.590 --> 00:13:55.424
Promise. i need god's favor to

I need god's favor to fulfill my destiny.

Will you withhold because i walk uprightly."

Walk uprightly." that's not just quoting
00:14:14.810 --> 00:14:15.978
That's not just quoting scripture, that's not just
00:14:16.045 --> 00:14:17.579
Scripture, that's not just making hopeful statements,
00:14:17.646 --> 00:14:19.181
Making hopeful statements, that's mixing my faith.
00:14:19.248 --> 00:14:21.250
That's mixing my faith. that's adding an ingredient
00:14:21.317 --> 00:14:23.018
That's adding an ingredient that causes what god said to
00:14:23.085 --> 00:14:25.020
That causes what god said to become profitable to me.
00:14:25.087 --> 00:14:26.755
Become profitable to me. i know a young lady that was
00:14:26.822 --> 00:14:28.290
I know a young lady that was graduating from high school.
00:14:28.357 --> 00:14:30.259
Graduating from high school. her dream was to be in
00:14:30.326 --> 00:14:31.360
Her dream was to be in theater.
00:14:31.427 --> 00:14:32.328
Theater. she loved acting and
00:14:32.394 --> 00:14:33.562
She loved acting and singing, being a part of
00:14:33.629 --> 00:14:35.331
Singing, being a part of plays.
00:14:35.397 --> 00:14:36.365
Plays. there was a prestigious
00:14:36.432 --> 00:14:37.366
There was a prestigious school that she really
00:14:37.433 --> 00:14:38.500
School that she really wanted to attend.
00:14:38.567 --> 00:14:39.935
Wanted to attend. she applied for a

She applied for a scholarship.
00:14:40.836 --> 00:14:42.104
Scholarship. the problem was there were
00:14:42.171 --> 00:14:43.405
The problem was there were only twelve positions
00:14:43.472 --> 00:14:44.974
Only twelve positions available but twenty-six
00:14:45.040 --> 00:14:46.942
Available but twenty-six hundred other students

Hundred other students applied as well.
00:14:48.410 --> 00:14:49.845
Applied as well. the chances of her getting
00:14:49.912 --> 00:14:51.280
The chances of her getting in were so small.
00:14:51.347 --> 00:14:52.881
In were so small. she could have been
00:14:52.948 --> 00:14:53.582
She could have been discouraged, thought, "just
00:14:53.649 --> 00:14:55.184
Discouraged, thought, "just my luck, it's never going to
00:14:55.250 --> 00:14:56.819
My luck, it's never going to happen."
00:14:56.885 --> 00:14:58.087
Happen." but instead of mixing doubt
00:14:58.153 --> 00:14:59.755
But instead of mixing doubt with the promises, thinking
00:14:59.822 --> 00:15:01.323
With the promises, thinking she didn't have a chance,
00:15:01.390 --> 00:15:02.691
She didn't have a chance, she did what i'm asking us
00:15:02.758 --> 00:15:04.159
She did what i'm asking us to do.
00:15:04.226 --> 00:15:05.094
To do. all through the day,

Favor is causing me to stand out.

Out. you said because i delight

You said because i delight myself in you, you will give

Myself in you, you will give me the desires of my heart."
00:15:13.869 --> 00:15:16.171
Me the desires of my heart." she kept mixing faith,
00:15:16.238 --> 00:15:18.273
She kept mixing faith, thanking god that he was
00:15:18.340 --> 00:15:19.475
Thanking god that he was working, declaring favor,
00:15:19.541 --> 00:15:21.610
Working, declaring favor, believing the right doors

Believing the right doors would open.

A few months later, she received an email.

Chosen." god can make a way where you

The odds being against you doesn't stop his plan.

Doesn't stop his plan. god is about to open a door

Breaks." you're right.

You don't have to see how it's going to happen.
00:16:24.506 --> 00:16:25.774
It's going to happen. god has ways you've never

All you have to do is get in agreement with him.
00:16:29.912 --> 00:16:31.647
Agreement with him. "father, you said in

"father, you said in ephesians, that we would see
00:16:32.648 --> 00:16:34.450
Ephesians, that we would see the surpassing greatness of

The surpassing greatness of your favor, you said

Your favor, you said whatever i touch will

Whatever i touch will prosper and succeed, you

Prosper and succeed, you said you always cause me to

Things happen that you can't make happen.

Make happen. he'll take you where you
00:16:57.206 --> 00:16:58.407
He'll take you where you can't go on your own.
00:16:58.474 --> 00:16:59.875
Can't go on your own. in john 4, jesus was
00:16:59.942 --> 00:17:02.978
In john 4, jesus was traveling through galilee
00:17:03.045 --> 00:17:04.847
Traveling through galilee and came to the town of
00:17:04.913 --> 00:17:05.914
And came to the town of cana.
00:17:05.981 --> 00:17:07.049
Cana. there was a government
00:17:07.116 --> 00:17:08.050
There was a government official in another city
00:17:08.117 --> 00:17:09.918
Official in another city that had a son that was very
00:17:09.985 --> 00:17:11.487
That had a son that was very sick, close to death.
00:17:11.553 --> 00:17:13.722
Sick, close to death. when he heard jesus was in
00:17:13.789 --> 00:17:15.090
When he heard jesus was in cana, he rushed over there,
00:17:15.157 --> 00:17:17.226
Cana, he rushed over there, fell at jesus feet and
00:17:17.292 --> 00:17:18.927
Fell at jesus feet and begged him to heal his son.
00:17:18.994 --> 00:17:21.263
Begged him to heal his son. jesus didn't go at first,
00:17:21.330 --> 00:17:23.132
Jesus didn't go at first, but the man pleaded and
00:17:23.198 --> 00:17:24.533
But the man pleaded and said, "please jesus, come
00:17:24.600 --> 00:17:25.934
Said, "please jesus, come now, my little boy is about
00:17:26.001 --> 00:17:27.636
Now, my little boy is about to die."
00:17:27.703 --> 00:17:28.904
To die." jesus looked at the man and
00:17:28.971 --> 00:17:30.772
Jesus looked at the man and said, "you can go back home,
00:17:30.839 --> 00:17:32.441
Said, "you can go back home, your son is healed."
00:17:32.508 --> 00:17:34.443
Your son is healed." the scripture says, "the man
00:17:34.510 --> 00:17:36.278
The scripture says, "the man believed jesus' word and
00:17:36.345 --> 00:17:38.413
Believed jesus' word and started back home."
00:17:38.480 --> 00:17:40.382
Started back home." the man could have thought,
00:17:40.449 --> 00:17:41.416
The man could have thought, "i'm not leaving, jesus you
00:17:41.483 --> 00:17:43.285
"i'm not leaving, jesus you didn't even pray for my son,
00:17:43.352 --> 00:17:45.120
Didn't even pray for my son, you didn't even speak
00:17:45.187 --> 00:17:46.021
You didn't even speak healing to him, i'm staying
00:17:46.088 --> 00:17:47.523
Healing to him, i'm staying here till you come with me."
00:17:47.589 --> 00:17:49.491
Here till you come with me." no, his attitude was, "i've
00:17:49.558 --> 00:17:51.093
No, his attitude was, "i've heard the word, i've heard
00:17:51.160 --> 00:17:52.794
Heard the word, i've heard what god promised, that my
00:17:52.861 --> 00:17:54.530
What god promised, that my son is well.
00:17:54.596 --> 00:17:55.931
Son is well. i'm not going to mix in
00:17:55.998 --> 00:17:57.065
I'm not going to mix in doubt, i'm not going to mix
00:17:57.132 --> 00:17:58.767
Doubt, i'm not going to mix in worry, thinking, 'it's
00:17:58.834 --> 00:18:00.202
In worry, thinking, 'it's not going happen.
00:18:00.269 --> 00:18:01.537
Not going happen. he didn't do it my way.' i'm
00:18:01.603 --> 00:18:03.172
He didn't do it my way.' i'm going mix in the right
00:18:03.238 --> 00:18:04.373
Going mix in the right ingredient.
00:18:04.439 --> 00:18:05.274
Ingredient. i'm going to add my faith.
00:18:05.340 --> 00:18:06.942
I'm going to add my faith. lord, i believe what you
00:18:07.009 --> 00:18:08.544
Lord, i believe what you said."
00:18:08.610 --> 00:18:09.278
Said." he turned around and headed
00:18:09.344 --> 00:18:10.879
He turned around and headed home.
00:18:10.946 --> 00:18:11.914
Home. no sign that anything
00:18:11.980 --> 00:18:13.382
No sign that anything changed, nothing looked any
00:18:13.448 --> 00:18:15.384
Changed, nothing looked any different, all he had was a
00:18:15.450 --> 00:18:17.252
Different, all he had was a promise.
00:18:17.319 --> 00:18:18.353
Promise. but he did what i'm asking
00:18:18.420 --> 00:18:19.888
But he did what i'm asking us to do, he mixed faith
00:18:19.955 --> 00:18:21.857
Us to do, he mixed faith with it.
00:18:21.924 --> 00:18:22.724
With it. he wasn't moved by what he
00:18:22.791 --> 00:18:24.092
He wasn't moved by what he saw.
00:18:24.159 --> 00:18:25.093
Saw. he wasn't discouraged
00:18:25.160 --> 00:18:26.161
He wasn't discouraged because jesus didn't come.
00:18:26.228 --> 00:18:28.063
Because jesus didn't come. he wasn't complaining that
00:18:28.130 --> 00:18:29.498
He wasn't complaining that it seemed impossible, he
00:18:29.565 --> 00:18:31.233
It seemed impossible, he just kept thanking god for
00:18:31.300 --> 00:18:32.968
Just kept thanking god for what he heard.
00:18:33.035 --> 00:18:34.403
What he heard. every thought told him that
00:18:34.469 --> 00:18:36.238
Every thought told him that his son would never get
00:18:36.305 --> 00:18:37.372
His son would never get well.
00:18:37.439 --> 00:18:38.173
Well. "it's too late.
00:18:38.240 --> 00:18:39.441
"it's too late. jesus wouldn't come.
00:18:39.508 --> 00:18:40.776
Jesus wouldn't come. you should be disappointed."
00:18:40.842 --> 00:18:42.644
You should be disappointed." he had a thousand reasons to
00:18:42.711 --> 00:18:44.446
He had a thousand reasons to doubt, to worry, to be
00:18:44.513 --> 00:18:46.448
Doubt, to worry, to be upset, but he kept mixing
00:18:46.515 --> 00:18:48.450
Upset, but he kept mixing his faith with the promise.
00:18:48.517 --> 00:18:50.052
His faith with the promise. "i believe he's healed.
00:18:50.118 --> 00:18:51.887
"i believe he's healed. i believe what jesus said,
00:18:51.954 --> 00:18:53.689
I believe what jesus said, that my son will live."
00:18:53.755 --> 00:18:55.958
That my son will live." while he was walking home,
00:18:56.024 --> 00:18:57.893
While he was walking home, people from his house came
00:18:57.960 --> 00:18:59.528
People from his house came running toward him.
00:18:59.595 --> 00:19:01.129
Running toward him. i can imagine him seeing
00:19:01.196 --> 00:19:02.864
I can imagine him seeing them in the distance,
00:19:02.931 --> 00:19:04.266
Them in the distance, thoughts started bombarding
00:19:04.333 --> 00:19:05.567
Thoughts started bombarding his mind, "they're coming
00:19:05.634 --> 00:19:07.002
His mind, "they're coming with bad news.
00:19:07.069 --> 00:19:08.370
With bad news. your son didn't make it.
00:19:08.437 --> 00:19:09.605
Your son didn't make it. it's too late."
00:19:09.671 --> 00:19:10.973
It's too late." deep down he kept playing
00:19:11.039 --> 00:19:12.674
Deep down he kept playing those words, "thank you
00:19:12.741 --> 00:19:13.942
Those words, "thank you jesus that my son will live,
00:19:14.009 --> 00:19:16.211
Jesus that my son will live, lord, i believe what you
00:19:16.278 --> 00:19:17.613
Lord, i believe what you promised."
00:19:17.679 --> 00:19:18.780
Promised." the people finally made it
00:19:18.847 --> 00:19:20.048
The people finally made it to him.
00:19:20.115 --> 00:19:20.816
To him. they had a big smile.
00:19:20.882 --> 00:19:22.451
They had a big smile. they said, "we have good
00:19:22.517 --> 00:19:23.518
They said, "we have good news.
00:19:23.585 --> 00:19:24.219
News. all the sudden your son got
00:19:24.286 --> 00:19:26.088
All the sudden your son got better.
00:19:26.154 --> 00:19:26.755
Better. now he's perfectly well,
00:19:26.822 --> 00:19:28.557
Now he's perfectly well, running around, playing like
00:19:28.624 --> 00:19:30.459
Running around, playing like nothing was ever wrong."
00:19:30.525 --> 00:19:32.527
Nothing was ever wrong." that's what happens when you
00:19:32.594 --> 00:19:34.129
That's what happens when you add the right ingredient to
00:19:34.196 --> 00:19:35.931
Add the right ingredient to the promises, not doubt, not
00:19:35.998 --> 00:19:38.600
The promises, not doubt, not worry, not fear.
00:19:38.667 --> 00:19:40.369
Worry, not fear. mix in your faith.
00:19:40.435 --> 00:19:42.371
Mix in your faith. dare to believe what god
00:19:42.437 --> 00:19:44.006
Dare to believe what god told you.
00:19:44.072 --> 00:19:45.073
Told you. don't be moved by what you
00:19:45.140 --> 00:19:46.408
Don't be moved by what you don't see, by how long it's
00:19:46.475 --> 00:19:48.477
Don't see, by how long it's taking, by how bad it looks,
00:19:48.543 --> 00:19:50.412
Taking, by how bad it looks, by what you don't have.
00:19:50.479 --> 00:19:52.114
By what you don't have. god has the final say.
00:19:52.180 --> 00:19:54.650
God has the final say. there are promises he's
00:19:54.716 --> 00:19:56.084
There are promises he's spoken to you, you don't see
00:19:56.151 --> 00:19:58.253
Spoken to you, you don't see anything changing.
00:19:58.320 --> 00:19:59.688
Anything changing. it's been a long time.
00:19:59.755 --> 00:20:01.223
It's been a long time. you're tempted to give up.
00:20:01.290 --> 00:20:02.858
You're tempted to give up. god has you hearing this
00:20:02.924 --> 00:20:04.860
God has you hearing this because it's on the way.
00:20:04.926 --> 00:20:06.928
Because it's on the way. you are closer than you
00:20:06.995 --> 00:20:08.330
You are closer than you think.
00:20:08.397 --> 00:20:09.197
Think. this is not the time to
00:20:09.264 --> 00:20:10.365
This is not the time to start doubting.
00:20:10.432 --> 00:20:11.500
Start doubting. now more than ever, you need
00:20:11.566 --> 00:20:12.968
Now more than ever, you need to stir up your faith.
00:20:13.035 --> 00:20:14.703
To stir up your faith. keep thanking god for what
00:20:14.770 --> 00:20:16.004
Keep thanking god for what he promised, keep declaring
00:20:16.071 --> 00:20:17.906
He promised, keep declaring what he said, keep talking
00:20:17.973 --> 00:20:19.608
What he said, keep talking like it's on the way.
00:20:19.675 --> 00:20:21.209
Like it's on the way. don't let those negative
00:20:21.276 --> 00:20:22.377
Don't let those negative thoughts override what god
