I like to start with something funny. i heard
00:00:17.596 --> 00:00:19.164
Something funny. i heard about this young man. one day
00:00:19.231 --> 00:00:20.966
About this young man. one day he was talking to god. he
00:00:21.033 --> 00:00:22.734
He was talking to god. he said, “god what's a million
00:00:22.801 --> 00:00:24.470
Said, “god what's a million years like to you?” god said,
00:00:24.536 --> 00:00:26.505
Years like to you?” god said, “a million years to me is
00:00:26.572 --> 00:00:27.906
“a million years to me is like one second to you.” he
00:00:27.973 --> 00:00:30.175
Like one second to you.” he said, “well god, what's a
00:00:30.242 --> 00:00:31.043
Said, “well god, what's a million dollars like to you?”
00:00:31.110 --> 00:00:33.112
Million dollars like to you?” god said, “son, a million
00:00:33.178 --> 00:00:34.213
God said, “son, a million dollars to me is like one
00:00:34.279 --> 00:00:35.547
Dollars to me is like one penny to you.” he thought
00:00:35.614 --> 00:00:37.249
Penny to you.” he thought about it and said, “god, will
00:00:37.316 --> 00:00:38.784
About it and said, “god, will you give me a penny?” god
00:00:38.851 --> 00:00:40.919
You give me a penny?” god said, “yeah, just a second.”
00:00:40.986 --> 00:00:42.988
Said, “yeah, just a second.” (laughter)
00:00:43.055 --> 00:00:43.622
(laughter) all right y'all. say it like

Am. i have what it says i have. i can do what it says i

Boldly confess: my mind is alert. my heart is receptive.
00:00:58.170 --> 00:01:00.305
Alert. my heart is receptive. i will never be the same in
00:01:00.372 --> 00:01:02.107
I will never be the same in jesus' name. god bless you.
00:01:02.174 --> 00:01:05.511
Jesus' name. god bless you. i want to talk to you today
00:01:05.577 --> 00:01:06.645
I want to talk to you today about a never doubt mindset.
00:01:06.712 --> 00:01:09.915
About a never doubt mindset. we all face situations where
00:01:09.982 --> 00:01:11.750
We all face situations where we don't see a way out. how
00:01:11.817 --> 00:01:13.619
We don't see a way out. how we can get well, how we can
00:01:13.685 --> 00:01:15.454
We can get well, how we can accomplish a dream, how our
00:01:15.521 --> 00:01:17.289
Accomplish a dream, how our family can be restored. all
00:01:17.356 --> 00:01:19.491
Family can be restored. all the facts say it's not going
00:01:19.558 --> 00:01:20.759
The facts say it's not going to happen. that's when these
00:01:20.826 --> 00:01:22.561
To happen. that's when these thoughts of doubt and
00:01:22.628 --> 00:01:23.729
Thoughts of doubt and discouragement come. if we're
00:01:23.795 --> 00:01:25.597
Discouragement come. if we're not careful, we'll live
00:01:25.664 --> 00:01:27.065
Not careful, we'll live worried and give up on what
00:01:27.132 --> 00:01:28.400
Worried and give up on what we're believing for. but paul
00:01:28.467 --> 00:01:30.402
We're believing for. but paul said in ephesians 3, “never
00:01:30.469 --> 00:01:33.005
Said in ephesians 3, “never doubt god's mighty power to
00:01:33.071 --> 00:01:34.907
Doubt god's mighty power to work in you and accomplish
00:01:34.973 --> 00:01:37.709
Work in you and accomplish infinitely more than your
00:01:37.776 --> 00:01:39.444
Infinitely more than your greatest request.” god didn't
00:01:39.511 --> 00:01:41.713
Greatest request.” god didn't say never doubt how you feel,
00:01:41.780 --> 00:01:44.483
Say never doubt how you feel, never doubt the medical
00:01:44.550 --> 00:01:45.951
Never doubt the medical report, never doubt the
00:01:46.018 --> 00:01:47.352
Report, never doubt the financial struggle. we're
00:01:47.419 --> 00:01:48.887
Financial struggle. we're human. doubt comes to us all.
00:01:48.954 --> 00:01:51.657
Human. doubt comes to us all. these times we think, “this
00:01:51.723 --> 00:01:52.824
These times we think, “this doesn't seem possible.” we're
00:01:52.891 --> 00:01:54.760
Doesn't seem possible.” we're looking at it in our own
00:01:54.826 --> 00:01:56.195
Looking at it in our own ability. but god said never
00:01:56.261 --> 00:01:58.597
Ability. but god said never doubt what i can do. never
00:01:58.664 --> 00:02:00.866
Doubt what i can do. never doubt my mighty power. never
00:02:00.933 --> 00:02:03.468
Doubt my mighty power. never doubt god can open doors you
00:02:03.535 --> 00:02:05.504
Doubt god can open doors you can't open. never doubt god
00:02:05.571 --> 00:02:07.973
Can't open. never doubt god can heal you despite the
00:02:08.040 --> 00:02:09.441
Can heal you despite the diagnosis. never doubt god
00:02:09.508 --> 00:02:12.110
Diagnosis. never doubt god can bring the right people,
00:02:12.177 --> 00:02:13.645
Can bring the right people, divine connections. maybe
00:02:13.712 --> 00:02:15.681
Divine connections. maybe your child is off course,
00:02:15.747 --> 00:02:17.382
Your child is off course, running with the wrong crowd.
00:02:17.449 --> 00:02:19.251
Running with the wrong crowd. you could live stressed, not
00:02:19.318 --> 00:02:20.852
You could live stressed, not able to sleep. god is saying,
00:02:20.919 --> 00:02:23.222
Able to sleep. god is saying, “never doubt i can turn him
00:02:23.288 --> 00:02:24.590
“never doubt i can turn him around. never doubt i can
00:02:24.656 --> 00:02:26.592
Around. never doubt i can bring him into his purpose.”
00:02:26.658 --> 00:02:27.926
Bring him into his purpose.” but what causes us to get
00:02:27.993 --> 00:02:30.062
But what causes us to get discouraged is when we look
00:02:30.128 --> 00:02:31.630
Discouraged is when we look at circumstances only in our
00:02:31.697 --> 00:02:33.632
At circumstances only in our ability. it seems too big,
00:02:33.699 --> 00:02:35.901
Ability. it seems too big, too much, too late. that's
00:02:35.968 --> 00:02:37.502
Too much, too late. that's okay. you're not doing life
00:02:37.569 --> 00:02:39.404
Okay. you're not doing life by yourself. there is a force
00:02:39.471 --> 00:02:41.373
By yourself. there is a force for you greater than any
00:02:41.440 --> 00:02:43.508
For you greater than any force trying to stop you. at
00:02:43.575 --> 00:02:45.510
Force trying to stop you. at times, you'll feel at a
00:02:45.577 --> 00:02:46.445
Times, you'll feel at a disadvantage. what you're up
00:02:46.511 --> 00:02:48.013
Disadvantage. what you're up against is bigger, stronger.
00:02:48.080 --> 00:02:50.315
Against is bigger, stronger. you don't have the
00:02:50.382 --> 00:02:50.949
You don't have the connections, the funds, the
00:02:51.016 --> 00:02:52.851
Connections, the funds, the courage. on your own, you're
00:02:52.918 --> 00:02:55.053
Courage. on your own, you're stuck but never doubt god's
00:02:55.120 --> 00:02:57.356
Stuck but never doubt god's mighty power. he stopped the
00:02:57.422 --> 00:02:59.424
Mighty power. he stopped the sun for joshua. he parted the
00:02:59.491 --> 00:03:01.627
Sun for joshua. he parted the red sea for moses. he brought
00:03:01.693 --> 00:03:03.729
Red sea for moses. he brought three teenagers out of a
00:03:03.795 --> 00:03:05.063
Three teenagers out of a fiery furnace without the
00:03:05.130 --> 00:03:06.598
Fiery furnace without the smell of smoke. he opened
00:03:06.665 --> 00:03:08.433
Smell of smoke. he opened prison doors for paul and
00:03:08.500 --> 00:03:09.801
Prison doors for paul and silas. he raised lazarus back
00:03:09.868 --> 00:03:12.137
Silas. he raised lazarus back to life. he took gideon from
00:03:12.204 --> 00:03:14.306
To life. he took gideon from afraid and insecure to a
00:03:14.373 --> 00:03:16.441
Afraid and insecure to a mighty hero that delivered
00:03:16.508 --> 00:03:18.277
Mighty hero that delivered the israelites. he healed my
00:03:18.343 --> 00:03:20.078
The israelites. he healed my mother of terminal cancer. he
00:03:20.145 --> 00:03:22.147
Mother of terminal cancer. he gave us a basketball arena to
00:03:22.214 --> 00:03:24.216
Gave us a basketball arena to have church in. the scripture
00:03:24.283 --> 00:03:26.184
Have church in. the scripture says, “is there anything too
00:03:26.251 --> 00:03:28.120
Says, “is there anything too hard for the lord?” you may
00:03:28.186 --> 00:03:30.088
Hard for the lord?” you may have some situations that
00:03:30.155 --> 00:03:31.223
Have some situations that seem over your head,
00:03:31.290 --> 00:03:32.724
Seem over your head, impossible. i'm not saying
00:03:32.791 --> 00:03:34.993
Impossible. i'm not saying you're not going to feel
00:03:35.060 --> 00:03:35.894
You're not going to feel doubt. i'm saying, never
00:03:35.961 --> 00:03:37.729
Doubt. i'm saying, never doubt god's mighty power.
00:03:37.796 --> 00:03:39.798
Doubt god's mighty power. never doubt what the creator
00:03:39.865 --> 00:03:41.433
Never doubt what the creator of the universe can do. that
00:03:41.500 --> 00:03:43.669
Of the universe can do. that setback, that impossibility
00:03:43.735 --> 00:03:45.837
Setback, that impossibility it's a setup for him to show
00:03:45.904 --> 00:03:47.706
It's a setup for him to show out in your life. the way you
00:03:47.773 --> 00:03:50.108
Out in your life. the way you conquer doubt is switch over
00:03:50.175 --> 00:03:51.943
Conquer doubt is switch over from what you can do, to what
00:03:52.010 --> 00:03:53.545
From what you can do, to what god can do.
00:03:53.612 --> 00:03:55.147
God can do. when my father passed and i
00:03:55.213 --> 00:03:56.815
When my father passed and i stepped up to pastor i felt
00:03:56.882 --> 00:03:58.884
Stepped up to pastor i felt inadequate, over my head,
00:03:58.950 --> 00:04:01.119
Inadequate, over my head, unqualified. i didn't have
00:04:01.186 --> 00:04:02.087
Unqualified. i didn't have the training, the experience.
00:04:02.154 --> 00:04:04.656
The training, the experience. my dad had this big
00:04:04.723 --> 00:04:05.691
My dad had this big personality, strong and
00:04:05.757 --> 00:04:07.192
Personality, strong and powerful, but i was more
00:04:07.259 --> 00:04:08.860
Powerful, but i was more quiet and reserved. all these
00:04:08.927 --> 00:04:11.229
Quiet and reserved. all these thoughts bombarded my mind.
00:04:11.296 --> 00:04:12.964
Thoughts bombarded my mind. “joel you're not enough. you
00:04:13.031 --> 00:04:14.700
“joel you're not enough. you don't have what it takes.
00:04:14.766 --> 00:04:15.901
Don't have what it takes. you're going to get up there
00:04:15.967 --> 00:04:16.802
You're going to get up there and look like a fool.” the
00:04:16.868 --> 00:04:18.403
And look like a fool.” the truth is i had doubts in my
00:04:18.470 --> 00:04:20.539
Truth is i had doubts in my ability, doubts whether i was
00:04:20.605 --> 00:04:22.441
Ability, doubts whether i was strong enough, doubts whether
00:04:22.507 --> 00:04:24.376
Strong enough, doubts whether the church would make it. but
00:04:24.443 --> 00:04:26.345
The church would make it. but what kept me going, the
00:04:26.411 --> 00:04:27.846
What kept me going, the reason i didn't give in to my
00:04:27.913 --> 00:04:29.281
Reason i didn't give in to my doubts, was because i never
00:04:29.348 --> 00:04:31.316
Doubts, was because i never doubted what god can do. i
00:04:31.383 --> 00:04:33.752
Doubted what god can do. i believed that he is all
00:04:33.819 --> 00:04:35.020
Believed that he is all powerful, that nothing can
00:04:35.087 --> 00:04:36.888
Powerful, that nothing can stand against him, that when
00:04:36.955 --> 00:04:38.990
Stand against him, that when we are weak his power shows
00:04:39.057 --> 00:04:41.293
We are weak his power shows up the greatest. i kept
00:04:41.360 --> 00:04:43.295
Up the greatest. i kept reminding myself, “you're the
00:04:43.362 --> 00:04:44.830
Reminding myself, “you're the god who chose me before i
00:04:44.896 --> 00:04:46.865
God who chose me before i could choose you. you're the
00:04:46.932 --> 00:04:48.333
Could choose you. you're the god who knew me before i was
00:04:48.400 --> 00:04:50.202
God who knew me before i was formed in my mother's womb.
00:04:50.268 --> 00:04:52.204
Formed in my mother's womb. the god who goes before me
00:04:52.270 --> 00:04:53.939
The god who goes before me and makes crooked places
00:04:54.005 --> 00:04:55.107
And makes crooked places straight. the god who fights
00:04:55.173 --> 00:04:56.908
Straight. the god who fights my battles. the god who has
00:04:56.975 --> 00:04:58.443
My battles. the god who has crowned me with your favor.
00:04:58.510 --> 00:05:00.979
Crowned me with your favor. you're not doing life on your
00:05:01.046 --> 00:05:02.214
You're not doing life on your own. quit focusing on just
00:05:02.280 --> 00:05:04.316
Own. quit focusing on just your ability, your talent,
00:05:04.383 --> 00:05:06.385
Your ability, your talent, your resources. that's going
00:05:06.451 --> 00:05:08.019
Your resources. that's going to cause you to doubt. to
00:05:08.086 --> 00:05:10.021
To cause you to doubt. to reach your destiny, you're
00:05:10.088 --> 00:05:11.690
Reach your destiny, you're going to face things that are
00:05:11.757 --> 00:05:12.657
Going to face things that are over your head, where you're
00:05:12.724 --> 00:05:14.426
Over your head, where you're outnumbered. you don't have
00:05:14.493 --> 00:05:16.261
Outnumbered. you don't have the experience, the funds.
00:05:16.328 --> 00:05:18.263
The experience, the funds. that legal situation should
00:05:18.330 --> 00:05:20.098
That legal situation should sink you. this is when many
00:05:20.165 --> 00:05:22.234
Sink you. this is when many people quit believing, live
00:05:22.300 --> 00:05:24.369
People quit believing, live worried. try a different
00:05:24.436 --> 00:05:26.271
Worried. try a different approach. “god, i may have
00:05:26.338 --> 00:05:27.973
Approach. “god, i may have lot of good reasons to doubt
00:05:28.039 --> 00:05:29.841
Lot of good reasons to doubt in my life, but i am never

Who are afraid and make them into mighty heroes.” anyone

When we go through

When we go through difficulties and things that
00:06:14.486 --> 00:06:15.887
Difficulties and things that are not fair, the never lies
00:06:15.954 --> 00:06:17.923
Are not fair, the never lies start playing. “you'll never

Start playing. “you'll never be happy again. you'll never
00:06:19.591 --> 00:06:21.460
Be happy again. you'll never meet someone new. this loss,

Meet someone new. this loss, this break up, how you were

This break up, how you were raised, put you at a
00:06:25.630 --> 00:06:26.865
Disadvantage.” don't believe

Disadvantage.” don't believe those lies. god knows

Those lies. god knows everything you've been

Will pay you back double for the unfair things that have
00:06:40.178 --> 00:06:41.413
The unfair things that have happened. instead of dwelling
00:06:41.480 --> 00:06:43.448
Happened. instead of dwelling on the never lies, come over
00:06:43.515 --> 00:06:45.283
On the never lies, come over to the never doubt mindset.
00:06:45.350 --> 00:06:47.152
To the never doubt mindset. “yes, i've had some bad
00:06:47.219 --> 00:06:49.321
“yes, i've had some bad breaks, but i know this is
00:06:49.387 --> 00:06:51.056
Breaks, but i know this is not how my story ends. god, i
00:06:51.122 --> 00:06:53.124
Not how my story ends. god, i believe your mighty power is
00:06:53.191 --> 00:06:55.360
Believe your mighty power is at work in my life, that

At work in my life, that you're a god of justice, that
00:06:57.229 --> 00:06:59.030
You're a god of justice, that you won't just bring me out,
00:06:59.097 --> 00:07:00.699
You won't just bring me out, but you'll bring me out
00:07:00.765 --> 00:07:01.600
But you'll bring me out better than i was before.”
00:07:01.666 --> 00:07:03.902
Better than i was before.” this is what david did. he
00:07:03.969 --> 00:07:05.537
This is what david did. he was a teenager, out in the
00:07:05.604 --> 00:07:06.905
Was a teenager, out in the shepherd's fields, taking
00:07:06.972 --> 00:07:08.373
Shepherd's fields, taking care of his father's sheep.
00:07:08.440 --> 00:07:09.541
Care of his father's sheep. he was the youngest of eight
00:07:09.608 --> 00:07:11.376
He was the youngest of eight sons. his brothers were all
00:07:11.443 --> 00:07:13.512
Sons. his brothers were all in the army, in prestigious
00:07:13.578 --> 00:07:15.013
In the army, in prestigious positions. but he was stuck
00:07:15.080 --> 00:07:16.715
Positions. but he was stuck in the fields, lonely, at a
00:07:16.781 --> 00:07:18.750
In the fields, lonely, at a disadvantage. one day his
00:07:18.817 --> 00:07:20.852
Disadvantage. one day his father asked him to take
00:07:20.919 --> 00:07:22.020
Father asked him to take lunch to the brothers. they
00:07:22.087 --> 00:07:23.421
Lunch to the brothers. they were in another city. that's
00:07:23.488 --> 00:07:25.557
Were in another city. that's when he heard goliath
00:07:25.624 --> 00:07:27.025
When he heard goliath taunting the israelites,
00:07:27.092 --> 00:07:28.793
Taunting the israelites, making fun of god's people.
00:07:28.860 --> 00:07:30.829
Making fun of god's people. all the israeli soldiers ran
00:07:30.896 --> 00:07:32.464
All the israeli soldiers ran and hid. they were so afraid.
00:07:32.531 --> 00:07:34.366
And hid. they were so afraid. goliath was a giant. he stood
00:07:34.432 --> 00:07:36.801
Goliath was a giant. he stood over nine feet tall.
00:07:36.868 --> 00:07:38.436
Over nine feet tall. something rose up in david, a
00:07:38.503 --> 00:07:40.906
Fire on the inside. he said,
00:07:41.006 --> 00:07:43.441
Fire on the inside. he said, “who is this uncircumcised
00:07:43.508 --> 00:07:45.310
“who is this uncircumcised philistine that he should
00:07:45.377 --> 00:07:46.778
Philistine that he should defy the armies of the living
00:07:46.845 --> 00:07:48.380
Defy the armies of the living god.” he went to king saul
00:07:48.446 --> 00:07:50.315
God.” he went to king saul and told him he wanted to
00:07:50.382 --> 00:07:51.383
And told him he wanted to fight goliath. saul said,
00:07:51.449 --> 00:07:53.318
Fight goliath. saul said, “david you're just a boy.
00:07:53.385 --> 00:07:54.719
“david you're just a boy. you're too small, too young.
00:07:54.786 --> 00:07:57.556
You don't have the training.
00:07:57.656 --> 00:07:58.957
You don't have the training. the experience.” don't let

The experience.” don't let people talk you out of what
00:08:01.126 --> 00:08:02.761
People talk you out of what god put in your heart. there
00:08:02.827 --> 00:08:04.396
God put in your heart. there will always be a saul in
00:08:04.462 --> 00:08:05.764
Will always be a saul in life, someone telling you
00:08:05.830 --> 00:08:08.066
Life, someone telling you what you can't do, “you're
00:08:08.133 --> 00:08:09.601
What you can't do, “you're not enough, that business
00:08:09.668 --> 00:08:11.336
Not enough, that business won't make it, you're not
00:08:11.403 --> 00:08:12.637
Won't make it, you're not going to get well.” do
00:08:12.704 --> 00:08:13.838
Going to get well.” do yourself a favor. tune all
00:08:13.905 --> 00:08:15.173
Yourself a favor. tune all that out. they don't control
00:08:15.240 --> 00:08:16.975
That out. they don't control your destiny. they didn't
00:08:17.042 --> 00:08:18.643
Your destiny. they didn't breathe life into you. they
00:08:18.710 --> 00:08:20.211
Breathe life into you. they didn't call you, equip you,
00:08:20.278 --> 00:08:21.713
Didn't call you, equip you, anoint you. god did.
00:08:21.780 --> 00:08:23.982
Anoint you. god did. david went out to face this
00:08:24.049 --> 00:08:25.183
David went out to face this giant. he was almost twice
00:08:25.250 --> 00:08:27.185
Giant. he was almost twice david's size. goliath had a
00:08:27.252 --> 00:08:29.487
David's size. goliath had a full set of armor. a shield
00:08:29.554 --> 00:08:31.823
Full set of armor. a shield that weighed a hundred and
00:08:31.890 --> 00:08:32.657
That weighed a hundred and twenty-five pounds. he was
00:08:32.724 --> 00:08:34.326
Twenty-five pounds. he was their most skilled warrior,
00:08:34.392 --> 00:08:35.961
Their most skilled warrior, the champion of the
00:08:36.027 --> 00:08:36.728
The champion of the philistine army. david had no
00:08:36.795 --> 00:08:39.631
Philistine army. david had no formal training, no armor, no
00:08:39.698 --> 00:08:41.967
Formal training, no armor, no shield. all he had was a
00:08:42.033 --> 00:08:43.702
Shield. all he had was a sling shot and few stones.
00:08:43.768 --> 00:08:45.971
Sling shot and few stones. how could he have this
00:08:46.037 --> 00:08:46.972
How could he have this boldness, this faith, when
00:08:47.038 --> 00:08:49.374
Boldness, this faith, when all the circumstances were
00:08:49.441 --> 00:08:50.775
All the circumstances were against him. opposition much
00:08:50.842 --> 00:08:52.811
Against him. opposition much bigger. people telling him
00:08:52.877 --> 00:08:54.412
Not to do it. he gives us his
00:08:54.512 --> 00:08:56.381
Not to do it. he gives us his secret. he said, “goliath,
00:08:56.448 --> 00:08:58.550
Secret. he said, “goliath, you come against me with a
00:08:58.617 --> 00:08:59.751
You come against me with a sword and a shield, but i
00:08:59.818 --> 00:09:01.686
Sword and a shield, but i come against you in the name
00:09:01.753 --> 00:09:03.688
Come against you in the name of the lord god of israel.”
00:09:03.755 --> 00:09:06.591
Of the lord god of israel.” he was saying in effect,
00:09:06.658 --> 00:09:08.159
He was saying in effect, “yes, i doubt my size. yes, i
00:09:08.226 --> 00:09:10.328
“yes, i doubt my size. yes, i doubt my equipment. yes, i
00:09:10.395 --> 00:09:12.030
Doubt my equipment. yes, i doubt my training, but i will
00:09:12.097 --> 00:09:13.832
Doubt my training, but i will never doubt the mighty power
00:09:13.898 --> 00:09:15.700
Never doubt the mighty power of my god. i may be half your
00:09:15.767 --> 00:09:18.336
Of my god. i may be half your size, goliath, but i know the
00:09:18.403 --> 00:09:20.238
Size, goliath, but i know the god in me is more powerful
00:09:20.305 --> 00:09:22.307
God in me is more powerful than anything you can do. i
00:09:22.374 --> 00:09:24.409
Than anything you can do. i may only have a sling shot,
00:09:24.476 --> 00:09:26.277
But i know this sling shot
00:09:26.378 --> 00:09:27.712
But i know this sling shot with the favor of god is more
00:09:27.779 --> 00:09:29.447
With the favor of god is more powerful than your weapons.”
00:09:29.514 --> 00:09:31.750
Powerful than your weapons.” david wasn't discouraged
00:09:31.816 --> 00:09:33.451
David wasn't discouraged because of his lack of size,
00:09:33.518 --> 00:09:35.387
Because of his lack of size, lack of resources because he
00:09:35.453 --> 00:09:37.756
Lack of resources because he knew god was fighting for
00:09:37.822 --> 00:09:39.624
Knew god was fighting for him. that he had a secret
00:09:39.691 --> 00:09:41.526
Him. that he had a secret weapon. something king saul
00:09:41.593 --> 00:09:43.395
Weapon. something king saul couldn't see. david's father,
00:09:43.461 --> 00:09:45.563
Couldn't see. david's father, that left him out in the
00:09:45.630 --> 00:09:46.765
That left him out in the fields, he didn't recognize
00:09:46.831 --> 00:09:47.932
Fields, he didn't recognize it. goliath couldn't see it.
00:09:47.999 --> 00:09:50.402
It. goliath couldn't see it. when he first saw david, he
00:09:50.468 --> 00:09:51.636
When he first saw david, he laughed and said, “am i a dog
00:09:51.703 --> 00:09:53.171
Laughed and said, “am i a dog that you would come at me
00:09:53.238 --> 00:09:54.105
That you would come at me with a stick?” david put a
00:09:54.172 --> 00:09:56.374
With a stick?” david put a stone in that sling and slung
00:09:56.441 --> 00:09:58.209
Stone in that sling and slung that rock. it hit goliath in
00:09:58.276 --> 00:10:00.011
That rock. it hit goliath in the forehead and knocked him
00:10:00.078 --> 00:10:01.279
The forehead and knocked him unconscious. david had less
00:10:01.346 --> 00:10:03.982
Unconscious. david had less equipment, less training, but
00:10:04.049 --> 00:10:06.351
Equipment, less training, but never doubt god's mighty
00:10:06.418 --> 00:10:08.153
Never doubt god's mighty power working in you to
00:10:08.219 --> 00:10:10.121
Power working in you to accomplish, not just what
00:10:10.188 --> 00:10:12.257
Accomplish, not just what you're hoping for, but
00:10:12.323 --> 00:10:13.858
You're hoping for, but infinitely beyond your
00:10:13.925 --> 00:10:15.593
Infinitely beyond your wildest dreams.
00:10:15.660 --> 00:10:17.395
Wildest dreams. on the way to your destiny,
00:10:17.462 --> 00:10:19.264
On the way to your destiny, there will be giants. you
00:10:19.330 --> 00:10:21.132
There will be giants. you can't become all you were
00:10:21.199 --> 00:10:22.734
Can't become all you were created to be without
00:10:22.801 --> 00:10:25.036
Created to be without opposition. then the thoughts
00:10:25.103 --> 00:10:26.371
Opposition. then the thoughts will come, “the sickness is
00:10:26.438 --> 00:10:27.639
Will come, “the sickness is too big. your business is not
00:10:27.706 --> 00:10:29.607
Too big. your business is not going to make it. this family
00:10:29.674 --> 00:10:31.176
Going to make it. this family issue will never resolve.”
00:10:31.242 --> 00:10:33.311
Issue will never resolve.” you're right where david was,
00:10:33.378 --> 00:10:35.213
You're right where david was, looking a giant twice your
00:10:35.280 --> 00:10:36.648
Looking a giant twice your size. you can do what the
00:10:36.715 --> 00:10:39.017
Size. you can do what the other men in the army did,
00:10:39.084 --> 00:10:40.518
Other men in the army did, run, hide, get talked out of
00:10:40.585 --> 00:10:42.554
Run, hide, get talked out of your dreams. or you can deal
00:10:42.620 --> 00:10:44.689
Your dreams. or you can deal with doubt a different way,
00:10:44.756 --> 00:10:46.357
With doubt a different way, like david. not denying the
00:10:46.424 --> 00:10:48.660
Like david. not denying the giant. not psyching yourself
00:10:48.727 --> 00:10:50.929
Giant. not psyching yourself up, “i don't feel fear. i
00:10:50.995 --> 00:10:52.597
Up, “i don't feel fear. i don't really have this
00:10:52.664 --> 00:10:53.231
Don't really have this problem.” it's okay to be
00:10:53.298 --> 00:10:55.066
Problem.” it's okay to be honest, “god, i have doubts
00:10:55.133 --> 00:10:57.202
Honest, “god, i have doubts in what i can do. this giant
00:10:57.268 --> 00:10:59.270
In what i can do. this giant looks way over my head. i
00:10:59.337 --> 00:11:01.239
Looks way over my head. i know in the natural, i don't
00:11:01.306 --> 00:11:02.507
Know in the natural, i don't have a chance. but god i will
00:11:02.574 --> 00:11:04.242
Have a chance. but god i will never doubt your mighty

Of physical activity. they had all these good reasons to
00:11:47.886 --> 00:11:49.420
Had all these good reasons to doubt. doubt that she could
00:11:49.487 --> 00:11:51.289
Doubt. doubt that she could live a normal life, doubt

Parents had been coming to lakewood for many years. they

The facts, deny the medical report, but they didn't let

Report, but they didn't let the doubts stay. they didn't
00:12:16.514 --> 00:12:18.583
The doubts stay. they didn't dwell on their lack of

Dwell on their lack of ability and what the report
00:12:19.918 --> 00:12:21.719
Ability and what the report said. their attitude was,
00:12:21.786 --> 00:12:24.455
Said. their attitude was, “even though we don't see a

“even though we don't see a way, god, we know you have a
00:12:25.790 --> 00:12:27.625
Way, god, we know you have a way. we may doubt what we can

Daughter.” sometimes we're not seeing
00:12:37.902 --> 00:12:39.270
Sometimes we're not seeing breakthroughs, our giant is
00:12:39.337 --> 00:12:41.239
Breakthroughs, our giant is not falling because we're
00:12:41.306 --> 00:12:42.974
Not falling because we're only looking at our ability.
00:12:43.041 --> 00:12:45.143
Only looking at our ability. we don't have the resources,

We don't have the resources, medically speaking, we can't

Medically speaking, we can't get well, this relative looks
00:12:48.213 --> 00:12:49.647
Get well, this relative looks like they'll always be off
00:12:49.714 --> 00:12:50.715
Like they'll always be off course. we're looking at it
00:12:50.782 --> 00:12:52.617
Course. we're looking at it in the natural, but god is
00:12:52.684 --> 00:12:54.285
In the natural, but god is supernatural. he's going to
00:12:54.352 --> 00:12:56.087
Supernatural. he's going to do things that go beyond
00:12:56.154 --> 00:12:58.423
Do things that go beyond reasoning, beyond logic.

They did everything they could medically speaking, but
00:13:44.002 --> 00:13:46.204
Could medically speaking, but they came to the end of their

Mind. “the doctors can't do anything. i can't even move.”

Anything. i can't even move.” she could have stayed there,

She could have stayed there, defeated, bitter, angry. but
00:13:55.446 --> 00:13:57.482
Defeated, bitter, angry. but she said, “god, you did it

For me once, i know you can do it for me again.” she told

On my own, and i will walk out of here on my own.”

Was paralyzed, her life was limited, just accept it. but
00:14:12.730 --> 00:14:14.532
Limited, just accept it. but on the inside, she could hear

On the inside, she could hear god whispering, “you will
00:14:16.401 --> 00:14:17.669
God whispering, “you will walk again.”
00:14:17.735 --> 00:14:18.303
Walk again.” there will always be two
00:14:18.369 --> 00:14:20.338
There will always be two voices competing for your
00:14:20.405 --> 00:14:22.040
Voices competing for your attention. the voice of doubt
00:14:22.106 --> 00:14:24.309
Attention. the voice of doubt and the voice of faith. often
00:14:24.375 --> 00:14:26.611
And the voice of faith. often the doubting voices are the
00:14:26.678 --> 00:14:27.946
The doubting voices are the loudest. they'll bombard your
00:14:28.012 --> 00:14:29.881
Loudest. they'll bombard your mind, “you can't get well.
00:14:29.948 --> 00:14:31.516
Mind, “you can't get well. you can't break this
00:14:31.582 --> 00:14:32.183
You can't break this addiction. your business
00:14:32.250 --> 00:14:33.351
Addiction. your business won't make it.” you wake up
00:14:33.418 --> 00:14:35.086
Won't make it.” you wake up in the night and the thoughts
00:14:35.153 --> 00:14:36.054
In the night and the thoughts are still coming. but if
00:14:36.120 --> 00:14:37.922
Are still coming. but if you'll get quiet, there's
00:14:37.989 --> 00:14:39.157
You'll get quiet, there's another voice. a still small
00:14:39.223 --> 00:14:41.326
Another voice. a still small voice. it's god speaking to
00:14:41.392 --> 00:14:43.194
Voice. it's god speaking to you. saying, “i'm fighting
00:14:43.261 --> 00:14:44.662
You. saying, “i'm fighting this battle. this too shall
00:14:44.729 --> 00:14:46.531
This battle. this too shall pass. you will recover.
00:14:46.597 --> 00:14:48.399
Pass. you will recover. healing is coming. freedom is
00:14:48.466 --> 00:14:50.234
Healing is coming. freedom is coming. abundance is coming.”
00:14:50.301 --> 00:14:52.704
Coming. abundance is coming.” now you get to choose, will
00:14:52.770 --> 00:14:54.706
Now you get to choose, will you let the voice of doubt
00:14:54.772 --> 00:14:56.007
You let the voice of doubt play, worry, dwell on the
00:14:56.074 --> 00:14:58.710
Play, worry, dwell on the negative, not going to happen
00:14:58.776 --> 00:15:00.278
Negative, not going to happen thoughts? or will you do what
00:15:00.345 --> 00:15:02.246
Thoughts? or will you do what paul said, and say, “no
00:15:02.313 --> 00:15:04.015
Paul said, and say, “no thanks, i will never doubt
00:15:04.082 --> 00:15:05.984
Thanks, i will never doubt what god can do in my life.
00:15:06.050 --> 00:15:07.819
What god can do in my life. god, i know your mighty power
00:15:07.885 --> 00:15:10.021
God, i know your mighty power is greater than anything
00:15:10.088 --> 00:15:11.222
Is greater than anything trying to stop me.” that's
00:15:11.289 --> 00:15:13.124
Trying to stop me.” that's what allows god to do more
00:15:13.191 --> 00:15:15.059
What allows god to do more than you can ask or think.
00:15:15.126 --> 00:15:17.128
Than you can ask or think. the tension is we may doubt
00:15:17.195 --> 00:15:19.230
The tension is we may doubt our own ability. we may have
00:15:19.297 --> 00:15:21.399
Our own ability. we may have negative thoughts because of
00:15:21.466 --> 00:15:22.867
Negative thoughts because of the medical report, the
00:15:22.934 --> 00:15:24.068
The medical report, the financial situation. that's
00:15:24.135 --> 00:15:25.703
Financial situation. that's okay. the key is to never
00:15:25.770 --> 00:15:27.972
Okay. the key is to never doubt what god can do. if
00:15:28.039 --> 00:15:30.341
Doubt what god can do. if you'll take the emphasis off
00:15:30.408 --> 00:15:31.676
You'll take the emphasis off of your ability, what you
00:15:31.743 --> 00:15:33.511
Of your ability, what you have, what you can control,
00:15:33.578 --> 00:15:35.513
Have, what you can control, and put that emphasis on what
00:15:35.580 --> 00:15:37.315
And put that emphasis on what god can do, that's how you
00:15:37.382 --> 00:15:38.850
God can do, that's how you stay in faith. that's what
00:15:38.916 --> 00:15:40.385
Stay in faith. that's what causes god to show out in
00:15:40.451 --> 00:15:42.120
Causes god to show out in your life.
00:15:42.186 --> 00:15:43.388
Your life. when she told the doctor she

Room, despite being told she was permanently paralyzed,

Was permanently paralyzed, she said she felt toes began
00:15:50.495 --> 00:15:52.697
She said she felt toes began to move. that was the start
00:15:52.764 --> 00:15:54.799
To move. that was the start of the miracle. little by
00:15:54.866 --> 00:15:56.367
Of the miracle. little by little she got better. her

Only one that could walk without a brace. my friend,

Husband and family. (applause) that's what happens when you
00:16:17.588 --> 00:16:19.690
That's what happens when you never doubt god's mighty

Never doubt god's mighty power. sure, we may doubt
00:16:21.526 --> 00:16:22.960
Power. sure, we may doubt what we can do, but you're

You in the palm of his hand. you may be in a situation
00:16:33.538 --> 00:16:36.207
You may be in a situation like alana, where you don't
00:16:36.274 --> 00:16:37.809
Like alana, where you don't see a way out. the odds are
00:16:37.875 --> 00:16:39.844
See a way out. the odds are against you. you could easily
00:16:39.911 --> 00:16:41.913
Against you. you could easily let all this doubt fill your
00:16:41.979 --> 00:16:43.381
Let all this doubt fill your mind and talk you out of your
00:16:43.448 --> 00:16:45.216
Mind and talk you out of your healing, convince you that
00:16:45.283 --> 00:16:46.918
Healing, convince you that you're limited. you have to
00:16:46.984 --> 00:16:48.719
You're limited. you have to remember who's on your side.
00:16:48.786 --> 00:16:51.055
Remember who's on your side. the god who caused alana to
00:16:51.122 --> 00:16:52.890
The god who caused alana to walk when she was supposed to
00:16:52.957 --> 00:16:54.592
Walk when she was supposed to be paralyzed. the god who
00:16:54.659 --> 00:16:56.694
Be paralyzed. the god who changed a city council
00:16:56.761 --> 00:16:58.029

Made elisha invisible to the enemy. the god who gave isaac
00:17:17.315 --> 00:17:20.118
Enemy. the god who gave isaac a hundred times more than he

A hundred times more than he planted in a famine. the god

Loaves and two fish to feed thousands. who are we talking
00:17:28.025 --> 00:17:29.694
About? that's our king.
00:17:29.794 --> 00:17:30.728
About? that's our king. that's our god. never doubt
00:17:30.795 --> 00:17:33.064
That's our god. never doubt his mighty power. when you

His mighty power. when you live from a place of faith,
00:17:35.500 --> 00:17:38.236
Live from a place of faith, that's when giants fall.
00:17:38.302 --> 00:17:40.238
That's when giants fall. that's when supernatural
00:17:40.304 --> 00:17:41.305
That's when supernatural healing comes. that's when
00:17:41.372 --> 00:17:42.773
Healing comes. that's when doors open that we can't
00:17:42.840 --> 00:17:44.041
Doors open that we can't open. that's when god will do

Open. that's when god will do infinitely more than you can
00:17:46.210 --> 00:17:48.179
Infinitely more than you can imagine.
00:17:48.246 --> 00:17:48.846
A few years ago, we were
00:17:48.946 --> 00:17:50.681
A few years ago, we were headed to one of our nights
00:17:50.748 --> 00:17:51.883
Headed to one of our nights of hope in another city. we
00:17:51.949 --> 00:17:53.618
Of hope in another city. we had left the hotel and were
00:17:53.684 --> 00:17:55.086
Had left the hotel and were driving to the venue. it
00:17:55.153 --> 00:17:56.454
Driving to the venue. it started at 7:30. traffic was
00:17:56.521 --> 00:17:58.623
Started at 7:30. traffic was really bad on the freeways,
00:17:58.689 --> 00:17:59.891
Really bad on the freeways, all backed up. it was
00:17:59.957 --> 00:18:01.392
All backed up. it was supposed to take us thirty
00:18:01.459 --> 00:18:02.527
Minutes. we had already been
00:18:02.627 --> 00:18:04.295
Minutes. we had already been driving an hour. it didn't
00:18:04.362 --> 00:18:05.630
Driving an hour. it didn't look like we would make it on
00:18:05.696 --> 00:18:06.964
Look like we would make it on time. our assistant called
00:18:07.031 --> 00:18:09.300
Time. our assistant called the venue and told them what
00:18:09.367 --> 00:18:10.468
The venue and told them what was happening. they said,
00:18:10.535 --> 00:18:11.836
Was happening. they said, “don't worry, we'll send the
00:18:11.903 --> 00:18:13.271
“don't worry, we'll send the police to come get you.”
00:18:13.337 --> 00:18:15.373
Police to come get you.” these two police officers met
00:18:15.439 --> 00:18:16.908
These two police officers met us on the freeway. one of the
00:18:16.974 --> 00:18:18.643
Us on the freeway. one of the officers got in our car to
00:18:18.709 --> 00:18:20.244
Officers got in our car to drive. he pulled onto the
00:18:20.311 --> 00:18:22.146
Drive. he pulled onto the shoulder and started passing
00:18:22.213 --> 00:18:23.681
Everyone up. people weresing
00:18:23.781 --> 00:18:25.349
Everyone up. people weresing looking at us honking, like,
00:18:25.416 --> 00:18:27.018
Looking at us honking, like, “what are you doing? get back
00:18:27.084 --> 00:18:28.553
“what are you doing? get back in line.” he didn't pay any
00:18:28.619 --> 00:18:30.054
In line.” he didn't pay any attention. he just kept
00:18:30.121 --> 00:18:31.355
Attention. he just kept going. once the traffic
00:18:31.422 --> 00:18:33.357
Going. once the traffic cleared out. he didn't drive
00:18:33.424 --> 00:18:34.959
Cleared out. he didn't drive the speed limit. he drove
00:18:35.026 --> 00:18:36.194
The speed limit. he drove sixty-five, seventy. we
00:18:36.260 --> 00:18:38.629
Sixty-five, seventy. we passed by other police
00:18:38.696 --> 00:18:39.730
Passed by other police officers. they didn't stop
00:18:39.797 --> 00:18:41.399
Officers. they didn't stop us. when they saw the officer
00:18:41.465 --> 00:18:43.034
Us. when they saw the officer driving our car, they just
00:18:43.100 --> 00:18:44.035
Driving our car, they just waved. when we got downtown,
00:18:44.101 --> 00:18:46.504
Waved. when we got downtown, he didn't wait for the light
00:18:46.571 --> 00:18:47.605
He didn't wait for the light to turn green. if it was
00:18:47.672 --> 00:18:48.839
To turn green. if it was clear, he ran the red light.
00:18:48.906 --> 00:18:51.242
Clear, he ran the red light. other officers, on the
00:18:51.309 --> 00:18:52.210
Corner, they just waved. no
00:18:52.310 --> 00:18:53.477
Corner, they just waved. no problem. here's the point,
00:18:53.544 --> 00:18:55.246
Problem. here's the point, the reason we could break the
00:18:55.313 --> 00:18:56.581
The reason we could break the law, was because the law was
00:18:56.647 --> 00:18:58.549
Riding with us. without that
00:18:58.649 --> 00:19:00.585
Riding with us. without that officer we would have gotten
00:19:00.651 --> 00:19:03.287
Officer we would have gotten pulled over probably got a
00:19:03.354 --> 00:19:04.488
Pulled over probably got a ticket. but because the law
00:19:04.555 --> 00:19:06.390
Ticket. but because the law was in our car, we could
00:19:06.457 --> 00:19:08.292
Was in our car, we could supersede the speed limit. we
00:19:08.359 --> 00:19:10.228
Supersede the speed limit. we weren't bound by normal
00:19:10.294 --> 00:19:11.796
Weren't bound by normal limitations.
00:19:11.862 --> 00:19:13.331
In the natural, it may be
00:19:13.431 --> 00:19:15.032
In the natural, it may be impossible for you to get
00:19:15.099 --> 00:19:16.400
Impossible for you to get well. the laws of medical
00:19:16.467 --> 00:19:18.436
Well. the laws of medical science, like with alana,
00:19:18.502 --> 00:19:20.538
Science, like with alana, like with my mother, say
00:19:20.605 --> 00:19:22.240
Like with my mother, say there's no way. the good news
00:19:22.306 --> 00:19:24.108
There's no way. the good news is someone is riding with you
00:19:24.175 --> 00:19:26.444
Is someone is riding with you that supersedes those laws.
00:19:26.510 --> 00:19:28.813
That supersedes those laws. god can do what medicine
00:19:28.879 --> 00:19:30.381
God can do what medicine cannot do. he made your body.
00:19:30.448 --> 00:19:33.351
Cannot do. he made your body. he can bring healing where
00:19:33.417 --> 00:19:34.685
He can bring healing where there's no explanation, where
00:19:34.752 --> 00:19:36.354
There's no explanation, where it doesn't make sense. but if
00:19:36.420 --> 00:19:38.356
It doesn't make sense. but if you just focus on the
00:19:38.422 --> 00:19:39.590
You just focus on the natural, logical, your
00:19:39.657 --> 00:19:41.926
Natural, logical, your ability, what the experts
00:19:41.993 --> 00:19:43.861
Ability, what the experts say, you're going to live
00:19:43.928 --> 00:19:45.162
Say, you're going to live limited. because there will
00:19:45.229 --> 00:19:46.597
Limited. because there will be giants you can't overcome,
00:19:46.664 --> 00:19:49.500
Be giants you can't overcome, dreams you can't accomplish.
00:19:49.567 --> 00:19:51.669
Dreams you can't accomplish. doubt will come, cause you to
00:19:51.736 --> 00:19:53.271
Doubt will come, cause you to shrink back. you have to
00:19:53.337 --> 00:19:55.072
Shrink back. you have to remind yourself, who's riding
00:19:55.139 --> 00:19:57.074
Remind yourself, who's riding with you. you're not in that
00:19:57.141 --> 00:19:58.943
With you. you're not in that car so to speak by yourself.
00:19:59.010 --> 00:20:00.945
Car so to speak by yourself. jesus took the wheel. the
00:20:01.012 --> 00:20:02.647
Jesus took the wheel. the most high god is ordering
00:20:02.713 --> 00:20:04.282
Most high god is ordering your steps. the reason you
00:20:04.348 --> 00:20:05.950
Your steps. the reason you can break the law; is the law
00:20:06.017 --> 00:20:07.585
Can break the law; is the law is riding with you. the god
00:20:07.652 --> 00:20:09.720
Is riding with you. the god who controls the universe.
00:20:09.787 --> 00:20:11.922
Who controls the universe. he's not limited to the laws
00:20:11.989 --> 00:20:13.491
He's not limited to the laws of nature, the laws of
00:20:13.557 --> 00:20:15.126
Of nature, the laws of science. the laws of finance.
00:20:15.192 --> 00:20:17.461
Science. the laws of finance. he makes streams in the
00:20:17.528 --> 00:20:18.763
He makes streams in the desert. he caused oil to
00:20:18.829 --> 00:20:21.232
Desert. he caused oil to never run out for three and a
00:20:21.299 --> 00:20:22.633
Never run out for three and a half years for a widow in the
00:20:22.700 --> 00:20:24.268
Half years for a widow in the bible, supernatural
00:20:24.335 --> 00:20:25.469
Bible, supernatural provision. he sent ravens to
00:20:25.536 --> 00:20:27.605
Provision. he sent ravens to feed elijah by the brook
00:20:27.672 --> 00:20:29.573
Feed elijah by the brook during a famine. we look at
00:20:29.640 --> 00:20:31.309
During a famine. we look at our finances, what we make,
00:20:31.375 --> 00:20:33.678
Our finances, what we make, we run the numbers, “if i get
00:20:33.744 --> 00:20:35.579
We run the numbers, “if i get this increase, and save this
00:20:35.646 --> 00:20:37.114
This increase, and save this much, and maybe get a bonus.”
00:20:37.181 --> 00:20:39.383
Much, and maybe get a bonus.” that's all good. but what god
00:20:39.450 --> 00:20:40.985
That's all good. but what god is going to do is not
00:20:41.052 --> 00:20:42.353
Is going to do is not natural. not ordinary.
00:20:42.420 --> 00:20:44.655
Natural. not ordinary. something you can't
00:20:44.722 --> 00:20:45.623
Something you can't calculate. he's not limited
00:20:45.690 --> 00:20:48.125
Calculate. he's not limited to your job, your boss, the
00:20:48.192 --> 00:20:49.927
To your job, your boss, the economy, the family you come
00:20:49.994 --> 00:20:51.462
Economy, the family you come from. he supersedes those
00:20:51.529 --> 00:20:53.564
From. he supersedes those things. one touch of his
00:20:53.631 --> 00:20:55.166
Things. one touch of his favor will put you into
00:20:55.232 --> 00:20:56.500
Favor will put you into overflow, into abundance,
00:20:56.567 --> 00:20:58.336
Overflow, into abundance, more than enough. when
00:20:58.402 --> 00:21:00.104
More than enough. when you're tempted to doubt,
00:21:00.171 --> 00:21:01.572
You're tempted to doubt, remember who's in your car.
00:21:01.639 --> 00:21:03.741
Remember who's in your car. this is where moses missed
00:21:03.808 --> 00:21:05.042
This is where moses missed it. he was in the desert,
00:21:05.109 --> 00:21:06.610
It. he was in the desert, leading the israelites. god
00:21:06.677 --> 00:21:08.212
Leading the israelites. god had brought them out of
00:21:08.279 --> 00:21:08.946
Had brought them out of slavery. they were headed
00:21:09.013 --> 00:21:10.381
Slavery. they were headed toward the promised land, but
00:21:10.448 --> 00:21:12.416
Toward the promised land, but the people got tired of
00:21:12.483 --> 00:21:13.751
The people got tired of eating the manna each day.
00:21:13.818 --> 00:21:15.619
Eating the manna each day. something like bread that
00:21:15.686 --> 00:21:16.554
Something like bread that formed on the ground. they
00:21:16.620 --> 00:21:18.389
Formed on the ground. they came to moses complaining,
00:21:18.456 --> 00:21:20.257
Came to moses complaining, “we don't want this food
00:21:20.324 --> 00:21:21.292
“we don't want this food anymore. we want meat like we
00:21:21.359 --> 00:21:23.861
Anymore. we want meat like we used to have in egypt.” moses
00:21:23.928 --> 00:21:25.863
Used to have in egypt.” moses was frustrated. he went to
00:21:25.930 --> 00:21:27.365
Was frustrated. he went to god and told them what they
00:21:27.431 --> 00:21:28.733
God and told them what they were saying. god said,
00:21:28.799 --> 00:21:30.234
Were saying. god said, “alright moses, i'm going to
00:21:30.301 --> 00:21:31.802
“alright moses, i'm going to give you meat, not for a day,
00:21:31.869 --> 00:21:34.004
Give you meat, not for a day, not for a week, but for a
00:21:34.071 --> 00:21:35.573
Not for a week, but for a month. you'll have all the
00:21:35.639 --> 00:21:37.475
Month. you'll have all the meat they could ever want.”
00:21:37.541 --> 00:21:39.810
Moses said, “god, there are
00:21:39.910 --> 00:21:41.278
Moses said, “god, there are six hundred thousand men out
00:21:41.345 --> 00:21:43.214
Six hundred thousand men out here, plus the women and
00:21:43.280 --> 00:21:45.049
Here, plus the women and children. if we butchered all
00:21:45.116 --> 00:21:46.984
Children. if we butchered all of our flocks, all of our
00:21:47.051 --> 00:21:48.586
Of our flocks, all of our cattle, we wouldn't have that
00:21:48.652 --> 00:21:50.154
Cattle, we wouldn't have that much meat.” moses was looking
00:21:50.221 --> 00:21:52.289
Much meat.” moses was looking at it only in his ability,
00:21:52.356 --> 00:21:54.458
At it only in his ability, only in what they had. he
00:21:54.525 --> 00:21:56.427
Only in what they had. he told god all the reasons he
00:21:56.494 --> 00:21:57.862
Told god all the reasons he couldn't do it, how there
00:21:57.928 --> 00:21:59.230
Couldn't do it, how there were too many people and it's
00:21:59.296 --> 00:22:00.297
Were too many people and it's just not possible. when he
00:22:00.364 --> 00:22:01.932
Just not possible. when he finally finished, god asked
00:22:01.999 --> 00:22:03.667
Finally finished, god asked him a simple question. he
00:22:03.734 --> 00:22:05.503
Him a simple question. he said moses, “when did i
00:22:05.569 --> 00:22:07.271
Said moses, “when did i become weak?” he was saying,
00:22:07.338 --> 00:22:09.907
“did you forget i spoke
00:22:10.007 --> 00:22:11.275
“did you forget i spoke worlds into existence? i
00:22:11.342 --> 00:22:13.077
Worlds into existence? i created the universe. do you
00:22:13.144 --> 00:22:15.312
Created the universe. do you think that somehow, that i
00:22:15.379 --> 00:22:16.781
Think that somehow, that i lost my power?”
00:22:16.847 --> 00:22:17.481
Lost my power?” god shifted the wind and
00:22:17.548 --> 00:22:20.751
God shifted the wind and millions of quail flew in
00:22:20.818 --> 00:22:22.887
Millions of quail flew in from the ocean. there were so
00:22:22.953 --> 00:22:24.655
From the ocean. there were so many quail, they gathered
00:22:24.722 --> 00:22:26.424
Many quail, they gathered them up all day, all night,
00:22:26.490 --> 00:22:28.526
Them up all day, all night, and the next day too. the
00:22:28.592 --> 00:22:30.194
And the next day too. the scripture says, “every family
00:22:30.261 --> 00:22:31.829
Scripture says, “every family gathered no less than fifty
00:22:31.896 --> 00:22:33.964
Gathered no less than fifty bushels of quail.” it was
00:22:34.031 --> 00:22:35.966
Bushels of quail.” it was costco size. not one dinner,
00:22:36.033 --> 00:22:38.402
Costco size. not one dinner, they got quail in bulk.
00:22:38.469 --> 00:22:40.371
They got quail in bulk. here's what's interesting:
00:22:40.438 --> 00:22:42.006
Here's what's interesting: quail don't normally fly that
00:22:42.072 --> 00:22:43.908
Quail don't normally fly that far from water, way out in
00:22:43.974 --> 00:22:46.043
Far from water, way out in the desert. but god shifted
00:22:46.110 --> 00:22:47.845
The desert. but god shifted the wind and out of the
00:22:47.912 --> 00:22:49.647
The wind and out of the ordinary, the quail came into
00:22:49.713 --> 00:22:51.549
Ordinary, the quail came into the camp. you don't know what
00:22:51.615 --> 00:22:53.951
The camp. you don't know what god is about to shift in your
00:22:54.018 --> 00:22:55.252
God is about to shift in your life. we look in the natural,
00:22:55.319 --> 00:22:57.688
Life. we look in the natural, “joel, not me man, i'm stuck
00:22:57.755 --> 00:22:59.457
“joel, not me man, i'm stuck in my career. this sickness
00:22:59.523 --> 00:23:01.292
In my career. this sickness is permanent. i'll never meet
00:23:01.358 --> 00:23:02.359
Is permanent. i'll never meet someone.” we're saying,
00:23:02.426 --> 00:23:04.562
Someone.” we're saying, “there can't be quail out
00:23:04.628 --> 00:23:05.563
“there can't be quail out here in the desert. that's
00:23:05.629 --> 00:23:07.097
Here in the desert. that's not possible.” why don't you
00:23:07.164 --> 00:23:09.099
Not possible.” why don't you tune out all that doubt and
00:23:09.166 --> 00:23:10.734
Tune out all that doubt and get in agreement with god?
00:23:10.801 --> 00:23:12.436
Get in agreement with god? “god, i believe you have some
00:23:12.503 --> 00:23:13.904
“god, i believe you have some shifts coming my way. sudden
00:23:13.971 --> 00:23:16.040
Shifts coming my way. sudden turnarounds, healing, good
00:23:16.106 --> 00:23:17.842
Turnarounds, healing, good breaks, abundance. things i
00:23:17.908 --> 00:23:19.543
Breaks, abundance. things i can't explain.” never doubt
00:23:19.610 --> 00:23:22.012
Can't explain.” never doubt god's mighty power. you may
00:23:22.079 --> 00:23:24.415
God's mighty power. you may doubt your ability, your
00:23:24.482 --> 00:23:25.716
Doubt your ability, your strength, your resources, but
00:23:25.783 --> 00:23:26.851
Strength, your resources, but never doubt what god can do.
00:23:26.917 --> 00:23:29.753
Never doubt what god can do. you may be in a situation
00:23:29.820 --> 00:23:31.288
You may be in a situation like moses, you don't see how
00:23:31.355 --> 00:23:33.357
Like moses, you don't see how it can work out. all the
00:23:33.424 --> 00:23:35.359
It can work out. all the facts tell you it's not going
00:23:35.426 --> 00:23:36.527
Facts tell you it's not going to happen. it's too late. too
00:23:36.594 --> 00:23:38.295
To happen. it's too late. too hard. god is asking you what
00:23:38.362 --> 00:23:40.431
Hard. god is asking you what he asked him, “when did i
00:23:40.498 --> 00:23:42.967
He asked him, “when did i become weak?” you will never
00:23:43.033 --> 00:23:44.702
Become weak?” you will never face a giant that god can't
00:23:44.768 --> 00:23:46.737
Face a giant that god can't bring down. never an obstacle
00:23:46.804 --> 00:23:49.139
Bring down. never an obstacle that you can't overcome.
00:23:49.206 --> 00:23:51.876
That you can't overcome. never a dream that he can't
00:23:51.942 --> 00:23:53.377
Never a dream that he can't bring to pass. instead of
00:23:53.444 --> 00:23:54.979
Bring to pass. instead of telling him all the reasons
00:23:55.045 --> 00:23:56.480
Telling him all the reasons it can't happen. why don't
00:23:56.547 --> 00:23:57.915
It can't happen. why don't you do like david, look at
00:23:57.982 --> 00:23:59.850
You do like david, look at that obstacle and say, “i
00:23:59.917 --> 00:24:01.385
That obstacle and say, “i come against you not just in
00:24:01.452 --> 00:24:03.187
Come against you not just in my might, not just in my
00:24:03.254 --> 00:24:04.688
My might, not just in my ability, i come in the name
00:24:04.755 --> 00:24:06.590
Ability, i come in the name of the lord god of israel. i
00:24:06.657 --> 00:24:08.859
Of the lord god of israel. i know who's driving my car. a
00:24:08.926 --> 00:24:10.995
Know who's driving my car. a god who supersedes natural
00:24:11.061 --> 00:24:13.097
God who supersedes natural laws.” you wouldn't be
00:24:13.163 --> 00:24:16.600
Laws.” you wouldn't be hearing this if god wasn't up
00:24:16.667 --> 00:24:17.434
Hearing this if god wasn't up to something. this is an
00:24:17.501 --> 00:24:18.569
To something. this is an important time. you have to
00:24:18.636 --> 00:24:19.670
Important time. you have to let faith rise up. you're on
00:24:19.737 --> 00:24:22.039
Let faith rise up. you're on the verge of seeing something
00:24:22.106 --> 00:24:23.507
The verge of seeing something you've never seen. but the
00:24:23.574 --> 00:24:25.476
You've never seen. but the enemy will work overtime
00:24:25.543 --> 00:24:26.911
Enemy will work overtime trying to talk you out of it.
00:24:26.977 --> 00:24:28.178
Trying to talk you out of it. “the giant is too big. you
00:24:28.245 --> 00:24:29.980
“the giant is too big. you can't feed people in the
00:24:30.047 --> 00:24:31.048
Can't feed people in the desert.” god is saying,
00:24:31.115 --> 00:24:32.883
Desert.” god is saying, “never doubt my mighty power
00:24:32.950 --> 00:24:35.653
“never doubt my mighty power to accomplish infinitely more
00:24:35.719 --> 00:24:37.254
To accomplish infinitely more than you could ever imagine.”
00:24:37.321 --> 00:24:39.590
Than you could ever imagine.” if you'll have this never
00:24:39.657 --> 00:24:40.724
If you'll have this never doubt mindset, i believe and
00:24:40.791 --> 00:24:42.359
Doubt mindset, i believe and declare, you're about to see
00:24:42.426 --> 00:24:44.495
Declare, you're about to see giants come down. like alana,
00:24:44.562 --> 00:24:46.730
Giants come down. like alana, supernatural healing. like
00:24:46.797 --> 00:24:49.333
Supernatural healing. like moses a shift, supernatural
00:24:49.400 --> 00:24:51.235
Moses a shift, supernatural provision, breakthroughs, the
00:24:51.302 --> 00:24:53.437
Provision, breakthroughs, the fullness of your destiny, in
00:24:53.504 --> 00:24:55.606
Fullness of your destiny, in jesus' name. if you receive
00:24:55.673 --> 00:24:57.908
Jesus' name. if you receive it, can you say amen?
00:24:57.975 --> 00:25:00.010
It, can you say amen? (applause)
00:25:00.077 --> 00:25:00.678
Sometimes in life,
00:25:01.445 --> 00:25:02.513
Sometimes in life, people don't choose us.
00:25:02.580 --> 00:25:04.214
People don't choose us. we've all felt overlooked
00:25:04.281 --> 00:25:05.716
We've all felt overlooked and like we're not good enough.
00:25:05.783 --> 00:25:07.551
And like we're not good enough. it's easy to live inferior,
00:25:07.618 --> 00:25:09.119
It's easy to live inferior, thinking we don't measure up.
00:25:09.186 --> 00:25:11.121
Thinking we don't measure up. people may have left you out.
00:25:11.188 --> 00:25:12.656
People may have left you out. the good news is
00:25:12.723 --> 00:25:13.757
The good news is god has chosen you.
00:25:13.824 --> 00:25:15.426

That you're chosen, fear and doubt can't stay,
