00:00:33.123 --> 00:00:34.591
Thanks for tuning in today. i like to start with
00:00:34.657 --> 00:00:35.391
I like to start with something funny.
00:00:35.458 --> 00:00:36.526
Something funny. i heard about this man; he
00:00:36.593 --> 00:00:37.994
I heard about this man; he was driving through an
00:00:38.061 --> 00:00:39.229
Was driving through an intersection that was
00:00:39.295 --> 00:00:40.530
Intersection that was monitored by cameras.
00:00:40.597 --> 00:00:42.165
Monitored by cameras. if you ran the light or
00:00:42.232 --> 00:00:43.133
If you ran the light or broke the law in any way,
00:00:43.199 --> 00:00:44.634
Broke the law in any way, you'd receive a ticket in
00:00:44.701 --> 00:00:46.035
You'd receive a ticket in the mail.
00:00:46.102 --> 00:00:47.070
The mail. so, he made sure to go
00:00:47.137 --> 00:00:48.071
So, he made sure to go through it extra slowly,
00:00:48.138 --> 00:00:49.606
Through it extra slowly, but he noticed the camera
00:00:49.672 --> 00:00:50.673
But he noticed the camera flashed and took his
00:00:50.740 --> 00:00:51.708
Flashed and took his picture.
00:00:51.774 --> 00:00:52.876
Picture. he thought, “that's not
00:00:52.942 --> 00:00:53.576
He thought, “that's not right.” he turned around
00:00:53.643 --> 00:00:54.644
Right.” he turned around and drove through it again
00:00:54.711 --> 00:00:56.012
And drove through it again even more slowly.
00:00:56.079 --> 00:00:57.881
Even more slowly. this time, the camera
00:00:57.947 --> 00:00:58.882
This time, the camera flashed and took his
00:00:58.948 --> 00:00:59.749
Flashed and took his picture.
00:00:59.816 --> 00:01:01.284
Picture. he thought, “this thing is
00:01:01.351 --> 00:01:02.085
He thought, “this thing is messed up.
00:01:02.152 --> 00:01:03.052
Messed up. they cannot give me a
00:01:03.119 --> 00:01:03.920
They cannot give me a ticket.” out of spite, he
00:01:03.987 --> 00:01:05.188
Ticket.” out of spite, he drove through it three more
00:01:05.255 --> 00:01:06.322
Drove through it three more times, each time waving at
00:01:06.389 --> 00:01:07.857
Times, each time waving at the camera and smiling.
00:01:07.924 --> 00:01:10.160
The camera and smiling. a week later, he received
00:01:10.226 --> 00:01:11.561
A week later, he received five tickets in the mail
00:01:11.628 --> 00:01:12.595
Five tickets in the mail for not wearing his
00:01:12.662 --> 00:01:13.630
For not wearing his seatbelt.
00:01:13.696 --> 00:01:17.033
Seatbelt. say it like you mean it.
00:01:17.100 --> 00:01:18.168
Say it like you mean it. and don't do that!
00:01:18.234 --> 00:01:19.035
And don't do that! ready?
00:01:19.102 --> 00:01:19.669
Ready? this is my bible.
00:01:19.736 --> 00:01:21.237
This is my bible. i am what it says i am.
00:01:21.304 --> 00:01:22.939
I am what it says i am. i have what it says i have.
00:01:23.006 --> 00:01:24.474
I have what it says i have. i can do what it says
00:01:24.541 --> 00:01:25.642
I can do what it says i can do. today, i will be
00:01:25.708 --> 00:01:27.410
I can do. today, i will be taught the word of god.
00:01:27.477 --> 00:01:29.379
Taught the word of god. i boldly confess: my mind
00:01:29.445 --> 00:01:31.347
I boldly confess: my mind is alert. my heart is
00:01:31.414 --> 00:01:32.715
Is alert. my heart is receptive. i will never
00:01:32.782 --> 00:01:34.884
Receptive. i will never be the same in jesus' name.
00:01:34.951 --> 00:01:37.320
Be the same in jesus' name. god bless you.
00:01:37.387 --> 00:01:39.789
God bless you. i want to talk to you today
00:01:39.856 --> 00:01:40.523
I want to talk to you today about the power of
00:01:40.590 --> 00:01:41.925
About the power of agreement.
00:01:41.991 --> 00:01:43.626
Agreement. we're all believing for a
00:01:43.693 --> 00:01:44.761
We're all believing for a dream to come to pass, or
00:01:44.827 --> 00:01:46.029
Dream to come to pass, or praying for a situation to
00:01:46.095 --> 00:01:47.564
Praying for a situation to turn around.
00:01:47.630 --> 00:01:49.165
Turn around. we're standing in faith,
00:01:49.232 --> 00:01:50.466
We're standing in faith, trusting that god is
00:01:50.533 --> 00:01:51.534
Trusting that god is working.
00:01:51.601 --> 00:01:52.835
Working. but something more powerful
00:01:52.902 --> 00:01:54.070
But something more powerful happens when you have
00:01:54.137 --> 00:01:55.405
Happens when you have someone agree with you for
00:01:55.471 --> 00:01:58.041
Someone agree with you for what you're believing for.
00:01:58.107 --> 00:02:00.076
What you're believing for. jesus said, “if any two of
00:02:00.143 --> 00:02:01.978
Jesus said, “if any two of you agree, concerning
00:02:02.045 --> 00:02:03.713
You agree, concerning whatever you ask, it shall
00:02:03.780 --> 00:02:05.748
Whatever you ask, it shall be done by my father in
00:02:05.815 --> 00:02:07.650
Be done by my father in heaven.” he didn't say just
00:02:07.717 --> 00:02:09.719
Heaven.” he didn't say just believe for yourself, just
00:02:09.786 --> 00:02:11.554
Believe for yourself, just stand in faith alone and it
00:02:11.621 --> 00:02:13.189
Stand in faith alone and it will happen.
00:02:13.256 --> 00:02:14.657
Will happen. he said find someone that
00:02:14.724 --> 00:02:16.259
He said find someone that will come into agreement
00:02:16.326 --> 00:02:17.560
Will come into agreement with you.
00:02:17.627 --> 00:02:19.095
With you. he was showing us the power
00:02:19.162 --> 00:02:20.396
He was showing us the power of agreement.
00:02:20.463 --> 00:02:22.098
Of agreement. when you're believing to
00:02:22.165 --> 00:02:23.233
When you're believing to accomplish a dream, take
00:02:23.299 --> 00:02:24.634
Accomplish a dream, take your family to a new level,
00:02:24.701 --> 00:02:26.469
Your family to a new level, overcome an illness, you
00:02:26.536 --> 00:02:28.171
Overcome an illness, you need people with bold faith.
00:02:28.238 --> 00:02:30.840
Need people with bold faith. not people that say, “i
00:02:30.907 --> 00:02:32.208
Not people that say, “i don't see how it can happen.
00:02:32.275 --> 00:02:34.110
Don't see how it can happen. you really think you'll get
00:02:34.177 --> 00:02:35.044
You really think you'll get well? my grandmother died
00:02:35.111 --> 00:02:37.046
Well? my grandmother died of that same thing.”
00:02:37.113 --> 00:02:38.448
Of that same thing.” doubters are a dime
00:02:38.514 --> 00:02:39.515
Doubters are a dime a dozen. you need people
00:02:39.582 --> 00:02:41.317
A dozen. you need people to say, “if you're bold
00:02:41.384 --> 00:02:42.685
To say, “if you're bold enough to believe it,
00:02:42.752 --> 00:02:44.120
Enough to believe it, i'm bold enough to agree
00:02:44.187 --> 00:02:45.521
I'm bold enough to agree with you.” you need a
00:02:45.588 --> 00:02:46.756
With you.” you need a faith partner. someone
00:02:46.823 --> 00:02:48.458
Faith partner. someone that will take the limits
00:02:48.524 --> 00:02:49.759
That will take the limits off of god with you.
00:02:49.826 --> 00:02:51.494
Off of god with you. that will believe for what
00:02:51.561 --> 00:02:52.629
That will believe for what looks impossible.
00:02:52.695 --> 00:02:54.364
Looks impossible. what's limiting some people
00:02:54.430 --> 00:02:56.232
What's limiting some people is they have no agreement.
00:02:56.299 --> 00:02:58.368
Is they have no agreement. they're believing on their
00:02:58.434 --> 00:02:59.235
They're believing on their own, that's good but when
00:02:59.302 --> 00:03:00.770
Own, that's good but when you come into agreement, it
00:03:00.837 --> 00:03:02.739
You come into agreement, it releases favor in a new
00:03:02.805 --> 00:03:04.240
Releases favor in a new way, healing,
00:03:04.307 --> 00:03:05.842
Way, healing, breakthroughs, abundance,
00:03:05.908 --> 00:03:07.577
Breakthroughs, abundance, that you won't see by
00:03:07.644 --> 00:03:08.611
That you won't see by yourself.
00:03:08.678 --> 00:03:09.912
Yourself. the scripture says, “all of
00:03:09.979 --> 00:03:11.481
The scripture says, “all of god's promises are yes and
00:03:11.547 --> 00:03:13.549
God's promises are yes and amen.” when god puts a
00:03:13.616 --> 00:03:15.818
Amen.” when god puts a promise in your heart and
00:03:15.885 --> 00:03:17.387
Promise in your heart and you believe it, you have
00:03:17.453 --> 00:03:18.521
You believe it, you have the yes, you know it's
00:03:18.588 --> 00:03:19.922
The yes, you know it's going to happen.
00:03:19.989 --> 00:03:21.524
Going to happen. but the yes alone is not
00:03:21.591 --> 00:03:22.992
But the yes alone is not enough, you need to find
00:03:23.059 --> 00:03:24.394
Enough, you need to find the amen.
00:03:24.460 --> 00:03:26.162
The amen. find someone to agree with
00:03:26.229 --> 00:03:27.697
Find someone to agree with you.
00:03:27.764 --> 00:03:28.965
You. someone that says, “you
00:03:29.032 --> 00:03:30.400
Someone that says, “you believe god is restoring
00:03:30.466 --> 00:03:31.634
Believe god is restoring health back to you, you
00:03:31.701 --> 00:03:33.403
Health back to you, you believe by his stripes you
00:03:33.469 --> 00:03:35.071
Believe by his stripes you are healed.
00:03:35.138 --> 00:03:36.272
Are healed. you have the yes, count me
00:03:36.339 --> 00:03:37.840
You have the yes, count me in. i have the amen.
00:03:37.907 --> 00:03:40.576
In. i have the amen. i agree with you that
00:03:40.643 --> 00:03:41.911
I agree with you that healing is coming, i agree
00:03:41.978 --> 00:03:43.746
Healing is coming, i agree that you will live and not
00:03:43.813 --> 00:03:45.248
That you will live and not die, i agree the number of
00:03:45.315 --> 00:03:46.816
Die, i agree the number of your days god will
00:03:46.883 --> 00:03:48.318
Your days god will fulfill.” or “you believe
00:03:48.384 --> 00:03:50.887
Fulfill.” or “you believe you'll break the addiction.
00:03:50.953 --> 00:03:52.722
You'll break the addiction. you believe no weapon
00:03:52.789 --> 00:03:54.157
You believe no weapon formed against you will
00:03:54.223 --> 00:03:55.458
Formed against you will prosper.” you have the yes;
00:03:55.525 --> 00:03:57.894
Prosper.” you have the yes; you're standing on the
00:03:57.960 --> 00:03:58.961
You're standing on the promises.
00:03:59.028 --> 00:04:00.129
Promises. now find the amen, not an
00:04:00.196 --> 00:04:01.597
Now find the amen, not an oh no.
00:04:01.664 --> 00:04:04.033
Oh no. “you really think so,
00:04:04.100 --> 00:04:05.168
“you really think so, you've struggled a long
00:04:05.234 --> 00:04:06.402
You've struggled a long time, it doesn't look
00:04:06.469 --> 00:04:07.537
Time, it doesn't look good.” god's promises are
00:04:07.603 --> 00:04:09.238
Good.” god's promises are not yes and oh no, they are
00:04:09.305 --> 00:04:11.240
Not yes and oh no, they are yes and amen.
00:04:11.307 --> 00:04:13.676
Yes and amen. you need to come out of oh
00:04:13.743 --> 00:04:14.577
You need to come out of oh no agreements.
00:04:14.644 --> 00:04:16.612
No agreements. come out of negative
00:04:16.679 --> 00:04:17.714
Come out of negative agreements, people that
00:04:17.780 --> 00:04:19.415
Agreements, people that doubt and water down your
00:04:19.482 --> 00:04:21.084
Doubt and water down your faith and cause you to get
00:04:21.150 --> 00:04:22.518
Faith and cause you to get discouraged.
00:04:22.585 --> 00:04:24.153
Discouraged. if you'll get rid of the oh
00:04:24.220 --> 00:04:25.321
If you'll get rid of the oh no people, god will send
00:04:25.388 --> 00:04:27.090
No people, god will send you amen people.
00:04:27.156 --> 00:04:29.058
You amen people. people that say, “you
00:04:29.125 --> 00:04:30.059
People that say, “you believe the addiction is
00:04:30.126 --> 00:04:31.361
Believe the addiction is not permanent, that it
00:04:31.427 --> 00:04:32.962
Not permanent, that it can't control you.
00:04:33.029 --> 00:04:34.530
Can't control you. you have the yes, good
00:04:34.597 --> 00:04:35.765
You have the yes, good news, i have the amen.
00:04:35.832 --> 00:04:37.834
News, i have the amen. i agree greater is he
00:04:37.900 --> 00:04:39.602
I agree greater is he that's in you, than what's
00:04:39.669 --> 00:04:40.870
That's in you, than what's trying to stop you.
00:04:40.937 --> 00:04:42.572
Trying to stop you. i agree whom the son sets
00:04:42.638 --> 00:04:43.973
I agree whom the son sets free is free in indeed.”
00:04:44.040 --> 00:04:46.576
Free is free in indeed.” when you have a faith
00:04:46.642 --> 00:04:47.610
When you have a faith partner, someone that will
00:04:47.677 --> 00:04:48.911
Partner, someone that will add the amen, it doesn't
00:04:48.978 --> 00:04:51.080
Add the amen, it doesn't just encourage you, but it
00:04:51.147 --> 00:04:53.116
Just encourage you, but it causes angels to go to
00:04:53.182 --> 00:04:54.517
Causes angels to go to work, miracles are set in
00:04:54.584 --> 00:04:55.885
Work, miracles are set in motion, favor is released.
00:04:55.952 --> 00:04:59.155
Motion, favor is released. when my mother was
00:04:59.222 --> 00:04:59.756
When my mother was diagnosed with terminal
00:04:59.822 --> 00:05:00.957
Diagnosed with terminal liver cancer in 1981, the
00:05:01.023 --> 00:05:03.559
Liver cancer in 1981, the doctors told my father that

Doctors told my father that she had a few weeks to live.
00:05:05.194 --> 00:05:07.430
She had a few weeks to live. there was no treatment they

There was no treatment they could give her.
00:05:08.631 --> 00:05:09.899
Could give her. doctors do everything they
00:05:09.966 --> 00:05:11.167
Doctors do everything they can to keep people alive

And start the healing process, but sometimes they
00:05:14.404 --> 00:05:16.239
Process, but sometimes they run out of options.
00:05:16.305 --> 00:05:18.307
Run out of options. when the problem looks too
00:05:18.374 --> 00:05:19.409
When the problem looks too big and you don't see a way
00:05:19.475 --> 00:05:20.910
Big and you don't see a way out, it's easy to get in
00:05:20.977 --> 00:05:23.079
Out, it's easy to get in agreement with the
00:05:23.146 --> 00:05:24.113
Agreement with the negative, with what the
00:05:24.180 --> 00:05:25.348
Negative, with what the experts say.

Respect the people, respect their training.

Their training. but there is someone god
00:05:39.695 --> 00:05:41.030
But there is someone god has ordained for you that

How impossible it looks, i know god can do the
00:05:50.940 --> 00:05:52.041
Know god can do the impossible.” you have to
00:05:52.108 --> 00:05:53.843
Impossible.” you have to find the amen.
00:05:53.910 --> 00:05:56.045
Find the amen. you may have to bypass a

You may have to bypass a dozen naysayers, friends

Dozen naysayers, friends that don't believe,
00:05:59.415 --> 00:06:00.650
That don't believe, coworkers that doubt,

Coworkers that doubt, relatives that think you're

Relatives that think you're far out, but if you'll not

Far out, but if you'll not settle and get in agreement
00:06:05.721 --> 00:06:07.356
Settle and get in agreement with the doubt, then you're
00:06:07.423 --> 00:06:08.724
With the doubt, then you're going to come to a divine

You can't afford to have oh no voices.

With people that don't limit you to what you can
00:10:19.108 --> 00:10:20.276
Limit you to what you can do, what you have, who you

Releasers and there are dream stealers.
00:10:33.589 --> 00:10:35.691
Dream stealers. dream releasers are people
00:10:35.758 --> 00:10:37.059
Dream releasers are people that are bold, they'll

Facts, they'll come up with a dozen reasons why it's
00:10:53.509 --> 00:10:55.010
A dozen reasons why it's not going to happen.
00:10:55.077 --> 00:10:56.912
Not going to happen. they're not bad people,
00:10:56.979 --> 00:10:58.414
They're not bad people, they just can't see what

They just can't see what you see.
00:10:59.415 --> 00:11:00.816

It's a test. are you going to get in agreement with
00:11:06.989 --> 00:11:08.124

That inspires you to keep believing when it seems

Believing when it seems impossible.
00:11:41.524 --> 00:11:43.092
Impossible. there's power in agreement.
00:11:43.159 --> 00:11:45.528
There's power in agreement. that's what my parents did.
00:11:45.594 --> 00:11:46.762
That's what my parents did. on december 11, 1981, on
00:11:46.829 --> 00:11:49.532
On december 11, 1981, on their bedroom floor, they

When they finished praying, they said to each other,
00:11:56.739 --> 00:11:58.007
They said to each other, “we're not going to break
00:11:58.073 --> 00:11:59.041
“we're not going to break our agreement.
00:11:59.108 --> 00:12:00.476

00:12:06.148 --> 00:12:07.750
Negative thoughts, “the medical reports not

Would hear her ask my father, “are you still in

Father, “are you still in agreement?” he would say,
00:12:14.723 --> 00:12:15.991
Agreement?” he would say, “yes, dodie, and i'm not
00:12:16.058 --> 00:12:17.626
“yes, dodie, and i'm not going to change my mind.”
00:12:17.693 --> 00:12:19.962
Going to change my mind.” the scripture says, if any
00:12:20.029 --> 00:12:21.230
The scripture says, if any two of you agree, god will

Two of you agree, god will do what he promised.
00:12:23.199 --> 00:12:24.466
Do what he promised. you don't have to find a
00:12:24.533 --> 00:12:25.434
You don't have to find a dozen people that agree.
00:12:25.501 --> 00:12:27.603
Dozen people that agree. you may not be able to find
00:12:27.670 --> 00:12:28.971
You may not be able to find five people, but there is
00:12:29.038 --> 00:12:30.339
Five people, but there is one person that god has
00:12:30.406 --> 00:12:32.007
One person that god has already ordained who will
00:12:32.074 --> 00:12:34.243

For. there is a power partner
00:12:38.180 --> 00:12:39.915
There is a power partner that is not going to break
00:12:39.982 --> 00:12:41.083
That is not going to break their agreement.
00:12:41.150 --> 00:12:42.618
Their agreement. they're going to stand with

You through thick and thin. when others doubt, think
00:12:45.354 --> 00:12:46.722
When others doubt, think it's impossible, like my
00:12:46.789 --> 00:12:48.390
It's impossible, like my father, they're going to
00:12:48.457 --> 00:12:50.259
Father, they're going to keep believing, they're
00:12:50.326 --> 00:12:51.427
Keep believing, they're going to keep speaking
00:12:51.493 --> 00:12:52.494
Going to keep speaking faith.
00:12:52.561 --> 00:12:53.529
Faith. it didn't happen overnight,
00:12:53.596 --> 00:12:54.930
It didn't happen overnight, but month by month my
00:12:54.997 --> 00:12:56.098
But month by month my mother got better and
00:12:56.165 --> 00:12:57.399
Mother got better and better, year after year.
00:12:57.466 --> 00:12:59.235
Better, year after year. she defied the odds.
00:12:59.301 --> 00:13:00.836
She defied the odds. today, forty years later,
00:13:00.903 --> 00:13:02.605
Today, forty years later, she's still healthy and
00:13:02.671 --> 00:13:03.539
She's still healthy and whole.
00:13:03.606 --> 00:13:06.275
Whole. there are battles that you
00:13:06.342 --> 00:13:07.643
There are battles that you can't win alone.
00:13:07.710 --> 00:13:10.045
Can't win alone. there are dreams that won't
00:13:10.112 --> 00:13:11.013
There are dreams that won't come to pass with just your
00:13:11.080 --> 00:13:12.348
Come to pass with just your faith, your hard work, your
00:13:12.414 --> 00:13:14.683
Faith, your hard work, your effort. god designed people
00:13:14.750 --> 00:13:17.152
Effort. god designed people to come into agreement with
00:13:17.219 --> 00:13:18.320
To come into agreement with you.
00:13:18.387 --> 00:13:19.922
You. when they agree, a power is
00:13:19.989 --> 00:13:21.790
When they agree, a power is released, a favor, a
00:13:21.857 --> 00:13:23.525
Released, a favor, a blessing that only comes
00:13:23.592 --> 00:13:25.527
Blessing that only comes from the two of you joining
00:13:25.594 --> 00:13:27.296
From the two of you joining your faith.
00:13:27.363 --> 00:13:28.964
Your faith. it's the power of agreement.
00:13:29.031 --> 00:13:30.933
It's the power of agreement. sometimes we're trying to
00:13:31.000 --> 00:13:32.401
Sometimes we're trying to do it on our own.
00:13:32.468 --> 00:13:34.003
Do it on our own. “i'm strong, i'm anointed,
00:13:34.069 --> 00:13:35.137
“i'm strong, i'm anointed, i'm favored.” yes, that's
00:13:35.204 --> 00:13:36.605
I'm favored.” yes, that's all true but you are
00:13:36.672 --> 00:13:38.374
All true but you are stronger when you have a
00:13:38.440 --> 00:13:39.708
Stronger when you have a power partner, someone
00:13:39.775 --> 00:13:41.243
Power partner, someone you're in agreement with.
00:13:41.310 --> 00:13:42.912
You're in agreement with. husbands and wives, you
00:13:42.978 --> 00:13:44.880
Husbands and wives, you need to come into agreement.

Need to come into agreement. what you're believing for,
00:13:47.016 --> 00:13:48.717
What you're believing for, your dreams, your health,

Your dreams, your health, your children, one of you
00:13:49.752 --> 00:13:51.120

Has the yes, but you need to add the amen.
00:13:52.855 --> 00:13:54.523
To add the amen. you need to do like my
00:13:54.590 --> 00:13:55.524
You need to do like my parents, “this is what
00:13:55.591 --> 00:13:56.525
Parents, “this is what we're believing for, we set
00:13:56.592 --> 00:13:57.960

The time that we come into agreement, and we're not
00:13:59.428 --> 00:14:00.629
Agreement, and we're not going to break our
00:14:00.696 --> 00:14:01.730
Going to break our agreement.” every day,

Are better than one. when one falls, the other
00:14:15.244 --> 00:14:16.111
When one falls, the other can lift him up.” when
00:14:16.178 --> 00:14:18.080
Can lift him up.” when doubt comes, negative

You can lift up that other person.

Person. let them know, “we're not
00:14:25.321 --> 00:14:26.155
Let them know, “we're not moved by what we see.
00:14:26.221 --> 00:14:27.923
Moved by what we see. we're not going to break
00:14:27.990 --> 00:14:28.724
We're not going to break our agreement.

To the right school. it was a big deal, our

Children, speaking faith into their future,
00:15:04.193 --> 00:15:05.928
Into their future, declaring what god
00:15:05.995 --> 00:15:06.996
Declaring what god promised, that they are
00:15:07.062 --> 00:15:08.230

Ordering their steps, that they were surrounded by

They were surrounded by favor, that they would get
00:15:15.104 --> 00:15:16.572
Favor, that they would get into the right college.

They understood the power of agreement.
00:15:19.675 --> 00:15:22.044
Of agreement. the scripture says, “one
00:15:22.111 --> 00:15:23.078
The scripture says, “one can chase a thousand, but
00:15:23.145 --> 00:15:24.480
Can chase a thousand, but two can put ten thousand to
00:15:24.546 --> 00:15:25.914
Two can put ten thousand to flight.” they were coming

Instead of worrying about your children, instead of
00:15:43.432 --> 00:15:45.000
Your children, instead of worrying about your
00:15:45.067 --> 00:15:45.934
Worrying about your finances, worrying about
00:15:46.001 --> 00:15:47.069
Finances, worrying about your health, why don't you
00:15:47.136 --> 00:15:48.470
Your health, why don't you find a power partner?
00:15:48.537 --> 00:15:50.739

Someone that will agree, not with your doubts, not

Not with your doubts, not with what you don't think
00:15:53.108 --> 00:15:54.810
With what you don't think will happen, not with the
00:15:54.877 --> 00:15:56.045
Will happen, not with the lies the enemy's
00:15:56.111 --> 00:15:57.579
Lies the enemy's whispering, but someone
00:15:57.646 --> 00:15:59.248
Whispering, but someone that will agree with the

Promises god has declared over your life.

Over your life. you have the yes, now you

So the class can hear it. she takes her trumpet and

She takes her trumpet and plays the b note.
00:16:27.109 --> 00:16:29.445

Pitch is right on, the sound vibrations from the

Sound vibrations from the trumpet, find the b note on
00:16:35.350 --> 00:16:37.319
Trumpet, find the b note on the piano and cause it to

The piano and cause it to vibrate without it being

You can hear the piano even though no one is playing it.
00:16:43.926 --> 00:16:45.561
Though no one is playing it. the b note from the trumpet

The b note from the trumpet has a sound that causes the

B note on the piano to resonate.

It may not mean much to some people.
00:17:04.913 --> 00:17:05.914
Some people. we're just doing life,

Available, we met with a group of attorneys to see
00:17:46.788 --> 00:17:48.590
Group of attorneys to see what they thought our
00:17:48.657 --> 00:17:49.525

Chances were. the odds were against us,
00:17:51.059 --> 00:17:52.161
The odds were against us, it was a long shot, but
00:17:52.227 --> 00:17:53.829
It was a long shot, but deep down i knew it was

Deep down i knew it was supposed to be ours.
00:17:55.230 --> 00:17:56.765
Supposed to be ours. i had the faith that it
00:17:56.832 --> 00:17:57.766
I had the faith that it could happen.
00:17:57.833 --> 00:17:59.034
Could happen. i went in there excited; i

Wouldn't let the facility go to a church, on and on.
00:18:19.555 --> 00:18:21.723
Go to a church, on and on. i left there depressed.
00:18:21.790 --> 00:18:23.392
I left there depressed. my baby didn't leap, my
00:18:23.458 --> 00:18:24.726
My baby didn't leap, my baby went to sleep.
00:18:24.793 --> 00:18:26.762
Baby went to sleep. he put my baby on
00:18:26.828 --> 00:18:27.329
He put my baby on tranquilizers.
00:18:27.396 --> 00:18:29.565
Tranquilizers. three hours later,
00:18:29.631 --> 00:18:31.133
Three hours later, something rose up in me so
00:18:31.200 --> 00:18:32.734
Something rose up in me so strong, i thought, “i am

Strong, i thought, “i am not coming into agreement
00:18:34.536 --> 00:18:36.171
Not coming into agreement with that loser, i mean
00:18:36.238 --> 00:18:37.673
With that loser, i mean that man. he does not
00:18:37.739 --> 00:18:39.408
That man. he does not control my destiny, he
00:18:39.474 --> 00:18:41.443
Control my destiny, he didn't breathe life into
00:18:41.510 --> 00:18:42.811
Didn't breathe life into me, he didn't put this dream
00:18:42.878 --> 00:18:44.746
Me, he didn't put this dream in my heart, he doesn't know
00:18:44.813 --> 00:18:46.515
In my heart, he doesn't know what i've heard.”
00:18:46.582 --> 00:18:48.750
What i've heard.” don't be discouraged when
00:18:48.817 --> 00:18:49.885
Don't be discouraged when your sound doesn't resonate
00:18:49.952 --> 00:18:51.720
Your sound doesn't resonate with someone else.
00:18:51.787 --> 00:18:53.121
With someone else. they're not supposed to be
00:18:53.188 --> 00:18:53.956
They're not supposed to be for you.
00:18:54.022 --> 00:18:55.157
For you. they're not in tune with
00:18:55.224 --> 00:18:56.158
They're not in tune with what god is speaking to you.
00:18:56.225 --> 00:18:58.160
What god is speaking to you. if i had come into
00:18:58.227 --> 00:18:59.328
If i had come into agreement with that doubt,
00:18:59.394 --> 00:19:01.196
Agreement with that doubt, negativity, can't do it
00:19:01.263 --> 00:19:02.898
Negativity, can't do it spirit, we wouldn't be in
00:19:02.965 --> 00:19:04.166

For you. they're not going to understand, they're going
00:19:13.308 --> 00:19:14.509
To understand, they're going to think it's too far out,
00:19:14.576 --> 00:19:15.911
To think it's too far out, you don't have what it
00:19:15.978 --> 00:19:16.678
You don't have what it takes.
00:19:16.745 --> 00:19:18.146

With their doubt, their negative spirit.

Negative spirit. you can't let the oh no
00:19:25.721 --> 00:19:26.922
You can't let the oh no people keep you from the
00:19:26.989 --> 00:19:28.123
People keep you from the amen that's coming.
00:19:28.190 --> 00:19:30.592
Amen that's coming. god has the mary's lined
00:19:30.659 --> 00:19:31.526
God has the mary's lined up, the people that will

Up, the people that will make your baby leap.
00:19:33.262 --> 00:19:34.997
Make your baby leap. elizabeth's husband was a

An angel appeared to him and told him that elizabeth

And they were to name him john.
00:19:43.939 --> 00:19:45.040
John. instead of saying to the
00:19:45.107 --> 00:19:46.008
Instead of saying to the angel like mary, “i believe
00:19:46.074 --> 00:19:48.076
Angel like mary, “i believe it, let it happen.”
00:19:48.143 --> 00:19:50.012
It, let it happen.” zechariah said in verse 18,
00:19:50.078 --> 00:19:52.547
Zechariah said in verse 18, “how can this be? i'm an

Old man and my wife is well along in years.”

Gabriel. i stand in the presence of almighty god.
00:20:01.189 --> 00:20:03.392
Presence of almighty god. but because you doubted,
00:20:03.458 --> 00:20:05.127
But because you doubted, you won't be able to speak
00:20:05.193 --> 00:20:06.795
You won't be able to speak until the baby is born.”
00:20:06.862 --> 00:20:08.797
Until the baby is born.” for nine months, zechariah
00:20:08.864 --> 00:20:10.299
For nine months, zechariah couldn't say a word. god
00:20:10.365 --> 00:20:12.000
Couldn't say a word. god knew if elizabeth came into
00:20:12.067 --> 00:20:14.069
Knew if elizabeth came into agreement with his doubt,
00:20:14.136 --> 00:20:15.971
Agreement with his doubt, “this can't happen, we're
00:20:16.038 --> 00:20:17.406
“this can't happen, we're too old”; it would have
00:20:17.472 --> 00:20:18.640
Too old”; it would have kept the baby from coming.
00:20:18.707 --> 00:20:20.909
Kept the baby from coming. zechariah was the oh no but
00:20:20.976 --> 00:20:22.711
Zechariah was the oh no but mary was the amen.
00:20:22.778 --> 00:20:25.080
Mary was the amen. if you'll come out of the
00:20:25.147 --> 00:20:25.881
If you'll come out of the agreement with the
00:20:25.947 --> 00:20:26.748
Agreement with the zechariah's, the mary's
00:20:26.815 --> 00:20:28.283
Zechariah's, the mary's will show up.
00:20:28.350 --> 00:20:29.851
Will show up. the right people will find
00:20:29.918 --> 00:20:30.952
The right people will find you, people that make your
00:20:31.019 --> 00:20:32.487
You, people that make your baby leap.
00:20:32.554 --> 00:20:34.122
Baby leap. we let that attorney know
00:20:34.189 --> 00:20:35.724
We let that attorney know that he wasn't going to be
00:20:35.791 --> 00:20:37.526
That he wasn't going to be a part of our team. some
00:20:37.592 --> 00:20:39.094
A part of our team. some people thought we were
00:20:39.161 --> 00:20:40.095
People thought we were making a mistake.
00:20:40.162 --> 00:20:41.330
Making a mistake. he was highly recommended,
00:20:41.396 --> 00:20:43.031
He was highly recommended, but if someone is trying to
00:20:43.098 --> 00:20:44.533
But if someone is trying to convince you to water down
00:20:44.599 --> 00:20:46.034
Convince you to water down your dreams, settle for
00:20:46.101 --> 00:20:47.436
Your dreams, settle for less than what's in your
00:20:47.502 --> 00:20:48.603
Less than what's in your heart, no matter how smart,
00:20:48.670 --> 00:20:50.072
Heart, no matter how smart, talented, experienced,
00:20:50.138 --> 00:20:52.474
Talented, experienced, they're not for you.
00:20:52.541 --> 00:20:54.242
They're not for you. don't come into agreement
00:20:54.309 --> 00:20:56.078
Don't come into agreement with that limited vision.
00:20:56.144 --> 00:20:57.879
With that limited vision. wait for the right person.
00:20:57.946 --> 00:20:59.715
Wait for the right person. about two weeks later,
00:20:59.781 --> 00:21:01.650
About two weeks later, another man came along,
00:21:01.717 --> 00:21:03.251
Another man came along, he was very influential.
00:21:03.318 --> 00:21:04.920
He was very influential. he had been in houston
00:21:04.986 --> 00:21:05.687
He had been in houston politics for many years,
00:21:05.754 --> 00:21:07.356
Politics for many years, knew everyone.
00:21:07.422 --> 00:21:09.191
Knew everyone. but he was far out, he
00:21:09.257 --> 00:21:10.792
But he was far out, he loved to party, used rough
00:21:10.859 --> 00:21:12.194
Loved to party, used rough language, didn't have any
00:21:12.260 --> 00:21:14.229
Language, didn't have any kind of faith background.
00:21:14.296 --> 00:21:15.931
Kind of faith background. the first time i met him,
00:21:15.997 --> 00:21:17.733
The first time i met him, he said, “joel, i like you
00:21:17.799 --> 00:21:18.600
He said, “joel, i like you and i'm going to help you
00:21:18.667 --> 00:21:20.035
And i'm going to help you get that building.” i said,
00:21:20.102 --> 00:21:21.370
Get that building.” i said, “you really think it can
00:21:21.436 --> 00:21:22.371
“you really think it can happen?” he said, “i don't
00:21:22.437 --> 00:21:23.538
Happen?” he said, “i don't think so, i know it can
00:21:23.605 --> 00:21:24.806
Think so, i know it can happen.” my sound somehow
00:21:24.873 --> 00:21:27.309
Happen.” my sound somehow resonated with him, and my
00:21:27.376 --> 00:21:30.245
Resonated with him, and my baby started leaping.
00:21:30.312 --> 00:21:32.047
Baby started leaping. he was so confident, so
00:21:32.114 --> 00:21:33.682
He was so confident, so bold, so positive, just the
00:21:33.749 --> 00:21:35.517
Bold, so positive, just the opposite of the other man.
00:21:35.584 --> 00:21:37.853
Opposite of the other man. he made things happen that
00:21:37.919 --> 00:21:39.454
He made things happen that only the hand of god could
00:21:39.521 --> 00:21:40.922
Only the hand of god could have orchestrated.
00:21:40.989 --> 00:21:42.391
Have orchestrated. he thought he was doing it,
00:21:42.457 --> 00:21:43.725
He thought he was doing it, but i knew it was god
00:21:43.792 --> 00:21:44.826
But i knew it was god working behind the scenes,
00:21:44.893 --> 00:21:46.495
Working behind the scenes, using a man that wasn't
00:21:46.561 --> 00:21:47.896
Using a man that wasn't raised like me, but he was
00:21:47.963 --> 00:21:49.398
Raised like me, but he was a divine connection.
00:21:49.464 --> 00:21:51.600
A divine connection. here we are in the compaq

With is going to determine whether or not you reach

Your destiny. maybe you don't have anyone

Maybe you don't have anyone around you that's full of

If you receive it, can you say amen today? (applause)
00:24:04.633 --> 00:24:06.801
When was the
00:24:08.670 --> 00:24:09.170
Last time you asked
00:24:09.170 --> 00:24:10.205
God to do something
00:24:10.205 --> 00:24:11.373
That seemed impossible?
00:24:11.373 --> 00:24:13.141
If you only pray small,
00:24:13.141 --> 00:24:14.643
Ordinary prayers,
00:24:14.643 --> 00:24:16.011
You'll live a small,
00:24:16.011 --> 00:24:17.045
Ordinary life.
00:24:17.045 --> 00:24:18.580
I have a new book
00:24:18.580 --> 00:24:19.347
Called pray bold.
00:24:19.347 --> 00:24:20.782
I'll challenge you
00:24:20.782 --> 00:24:21.516
To stretch your faith
00:24:21.516 --> 00:24:22.617
And believe
00:24:22.617 --> 00:24:23.251
For the big things
00:24:23.251 --> 00:24:24.119
God puts in your heart.
00:24:24.119 --> 00:24:26.021
Victoria and i used
00:24:26.021 --> 00:24:26.855
To have season tickets
00:24:26.855 --> 00:24:28.123
To watch the rockets
00:24:28.123 --> 00:24:29.157
Play basketball here.
00:24:29.157 --> 00:24:30.759
We never dreamed
00:24:30.759 --> 00:24:31.593
It could be ours.
00:24:31.593 --> 00:24:32.861
But when they moved out,
00:24:32.861 --> 00:24:34.095
Somehow
00:24:34.095 --> 00:24:34.663
We had the faith to pray
00:24:34.663 --> 00:24:35.830
A bold prayer.
00:24:35.830 --> 00:24:37.065
God made things happen
00:24:37.065 --> 00:24:38.500
That we could
00:24:38.500 --> 00:24:38.967
Never make happen.
00:24:38.967 --> 00:24:40.135
It's the same for you.
00:24:40.135 --> 00:24:41.770
Who knows what
00:24:41.770 --> 00:24:42.470
God would do in your life
00:24:42.470 --> 00:24:43.972
If you'll dare to pray bold?
00:24:43.972 --> 00:24:45.874
Ask him for your dreams.
00:24:45.874 --> 00:24:47.475
Ask for your healing.
00:24:47.475 --> 00:24:48.710
Ask for your freedom.
00:24:48.710 --> 00:24:50.078
That's when god will show up
00:24:50.078 --> 00:24:51.613
And do more
00:24:51.613 --> 00:24:52.480
Than you could ever imagine.
00:24:52.480 --> 00:24:54.349
As our way of saying thank you
00:24:54.349 --> 00:24:56.051
For your gift of any amount
00:24:56.051 --> 00:24:57.586
This month,
00:24:57.586 --> 00:24:58.353
We would like to send you
00:24:58.353 --> 00:24:59.588
A copy of joel's
00:24:59.588 --> 00:25:00.622
Brand new book,
00:25:00.622 --> 00:25:01.990
Pray bold:
00:25:01.990 --> 00:25:03.158
Dare to ask and believe big.
00:25:03.158 --> 00:25:06.127
Joel shares that when we pray,
00:25:06.127 --> 00:25:08.530
We can tap into god's
00:25:08.530 --> 00:25:10.031
Creative, awesome power.

Than we have ever imagined.
00:25:13.101 --> 00:25:15.036
God doesn't
00:25:15.036 --> 00:25:15.704
Want us to just pray
00:25:15.704 --> 00:25:17.005
In our comfort zones.
00:25:17.005 --> 00:25:18.473
No, god loves when we pray big.
00:25:18.473 --> 00:25:21.376
Believe big.
00:25:21.376 --> 00:25:22.744
Expect him to do

The unexpected.

00:25:30.485 --> 00:25:31.086

00:25:31.086 --> 00:25:32.654
In extraordinary ways.

You'll learn

How to practically
00:25:35.256 --> 00:25:36.057
Expand your prayers
00:25:36.057 --> 00:25:37.692

00:25:37.692 --> 00:25:38.760
Move from the common
00:25:38.760 --> 00:25:40.095
To the extraordinary.
00:25:40.095 --> 00:25:41.796
From less than to overflowing.
00:25:41.796 --> 00:25:44.766
God has put dreams in
00:25:44.766 --> 00:25:46.134
Your heart
00:25:46.134 --> 00:25:46.635
And things he's
00:25:46.635 --> 00:25:47.502
Whispered in the night
00:25:47.502 --> 00:25:48.670
That seem impossible.
00:25:48.670 --> 00:25:50.372

00:25:50.372 --> 00:25:51.039
