I like to start with

I like to start with something funny.
00:00:25.048 --> 00:00:26.349
Something funny. i heard about these
00:00:26.416 --> 00:00:27.016
I heard about these brothers, ages 4 and 6.
00:00:27.083 --> 00:00:29.786
Brothers, ages 4 and 6. they were spending the
00:00:29.853 --> 00:00:30.453
They were spending the night at their
00:00:30.520 --> 00:00:31.121
Night at their grandmother's house.
00:00:31.187 --> 00:00:32.455
Grandmother's house. she told them before they
00:00:32.522 --> 00:00:33.523
She told them before they went to bed to make sure
00:00:33.590 --> 00:00:35.058
Went to bed to make sure they said their prayers.
00:00:35.125 --> 00:00:36.693
They said their prayers. they went in their bedroom,
00:00:36.759 --> 00:00:38.027
They went in their bedroom, got down on their knees.
00:00:38.094 --> 00:00:39.696
Got down on their knees. the youngest brother
00:00:39.762 --> 00:00:40.630
The youngest brother started praying at the top
00:00:40.697 --> 00:00:41.965
Started praying at the top of his lungs, “god i pray
00:00:42.031 --> 00:00:44.134
Of his lungs, “god i pray for a new bicycle, i pray
00:00:44.200 --> 00:00:46.069
For a new bicycle, i pray for a new play station, i
00:00:46.136 --> 00:00:47.303
For a new play station, i pray for a new puppy.” his
00:00:47.370 --> 00:00:48.938
Pray for a new puppy.” his brother stopped him and
00:00:49.005 --> 00:00:50.106
Brother stopped him and said, “why are you
00:00:50.173 --> 00:00:50.773
Said, “why are you screaming? god isn't deaf.”
00:00:50.840 --> 00:00:52.842
Screaming? god isn't deaf.” he said, “i know that, but
00:00:52.909 --> 00:00:54.110
He said, “i know that, but grandmother is.”
00:00:54.177 --> 00:00:57.046
Grandmother is.” say it like you mean it.
00:00:57.113 --> 00:00:58.014
Say it like you mean it. this is my bible. i am
00:00:58.081 --> 00:01:00.483
This is my bible. i am what it says i am. i have
00:01:00.550 --> 00:01:02.385
What it says i am. i have what it says i have. i can
00:01:02.452 --> 00:01:04.053
What it says i have. i can do what it says i can do.
00:01:04.120 --> 00:01:05.922
Do what it says i can do. today, i will be taught the
00:01:05.989 --> 00:01:07.457
Today, i will be taught the word of god. i boldly
00:01:07.524 --> 00:01:09.292
Word of god. i boldly confess: my mind is alert.
00:01:09.359 --> 00:01:11.828
Confess: my mind is alert. my heart is receptive.
00:01:11.895 --> 00:01:13.463
I will never be the same
00:01:13.563 --> 00:01:15.298
I will never be the same in jesus' name.
00:01:15.365 --> 00:01:17.000
In jesus' name. god bless you.
00:01:17.066 --> 00:01:18.968
I want to talk to you today
00:01:19.068 --> 00:01:20.303
I want to talk to you today about receive when you
00:01:20.370 --> 00:01:22.305
About receive when you believe. we all have things
00:01:22.372 --> 00:01:24.774
Believe. we all have things we're believing for.
00:01:24.841 --> 00:01:26.376
We're believing for. one day we're going to get
00:01:26.442 --> 00:01:27.443
One day we're going to get well, one day we're going
00:01:27.510 --> 00:01:28.945
Well, one day we're going to break the addiction, one
00:01:29.012 --> 00:01:30.413
To break the addiction, one day we're going to meet the
00:01:30.480 --> 00:01:31.347
Day we're going to meet the right person. we've prayed,
00:01:31.414 --> 00:01:33.816
Right person. we've prayed, we're standing in faith,
00:01:33.883 --> 00:01:35.418
We're standing in faith, waiting for it to happen.
00:01:35.485 --> 00:01:37.387
Waiting for it to happen. but jesus gives us an
00:01:37.453 --> 00:01:38.588
But jesus gives us an important principle in mark
00:01:38.655 --> 00:01:40.256
Important principle in mark chapter 11. he said,
00:01:40.323 --> 00:01:42.292
Chapter 11. he said, “whatever you ask for when
00:01:42.358 --> 00:01:44.093
“whatever you ask for when you pray, believe that you
00:01:44.160 --> 00:01:46.229
You pray, believe that you have received it, and you
00:01:46.296 --> 00:01:48.064
Have received it, and you will have it.” he didn't
00:01:48.131 --> 00:01:49.899
Will have it.” he didn't say believe that it's going
00:01:49.966 --> 00:01:51.301
Say believe that it's going to happen, believe that
00:01:51.367 --> 00:01:52.902
To happen, believe that you're going to see things
00:01:52.969 --> 00:01:53.970
You're going to see things turn around. he said believe
00:01:54.037 --> 00:01:56.372
Turn around. he said believe that you receive when you
00:01:56.439 --> 00:01:58.107
That you receive when you pray. believe that it
00:01:58.174 --> 00:01:59.943
Pray. believe that it happened right there.
00:02:00.009 --> 00:02:01.511
Happened right there. not in a week, not in a
00:02:01.578 --> 00:02:03.179
Not in a week, not in a month, but right when you
00:02:03.246 --> 00:02:04.647
Month, but right when you prayed, things changed in
00:02:04.714 --> 00:02:06.282
Prayed, things changed in your favor. god set the
00:02:06.349 --> 00:02:07.850
Your favor. god set the miracle into motion.
00:02:07.917 --> 00:02:08.885
Miracle into motion. if you're facing an
00:02:08.952 --> 00:02:10.820
If you're facing an illness, “god, i'm asking
00:02:10.887 --> 00:02:12.655
Illness, “god, i'm asking you to heal my body.
00:02:12.722 --> 00:02:14.457
You to heal my body. and lord, i receive my
00:02:14.524 --> 00:02:16.192
And lord, i receive my healing right now.” “joel,
00:02:16.259 --> 00:02:18.761
Healing right now.” “joel, how can i believe that i'm
00:02:18.828 --> 00:02:20.029
How can i believe that i'm healed when i don't feel
00:02:20.096 --> 00:02:21.464
Healed when i don't feel any different.” that's what
00:02:21.531 --> 00:02:23.299
Any different.” that's what faith is all about.
00:02:23.366 --> 00:02:25.335
Faith is all about. when there's no evidence,
00:02:25.401 --> 00:02:27.136
When there's no evidence, when the medical report
00:02:27.203 --> 00:02:28.137
When the medical report hasn't improved, no sign of
00:02:28.204 --> 00:02:30.406
Hasn't improved, no sign of things getting better, yet
00:02:30.473 --> 00:02:32.175
Things getting better, yet your report is, “i am
00:02:32.242 --> 00:02:33.743
Your report is, “i am healed. i am healthy.”
00:02:33.810 --> 00:02:36.446
Healed. i am healthy.” when you not only pray but
00:02:36.512 --> 00:02:38.348
When you not only pray but you take it a step further
00:02:38.414 --> 00:02:40.016
You take it a step further and you receive your
00:02:40.083 --> 00:02:41.017
And you receive your healing, in the unseen
00:02:41.084 --> 00:02:43.152
Healing, in the unseen realm things begin to
00:02:43.219 --> 00:02:44.387
Realm things begin to happen. but if the healing,
00:02:44.454 --> 00:02:46.990
Happen. but if the healing, the freedom, the promotion,
00:02:47.056 --> 00:02:48.591
The freedom, the promotion, the breakthroughs are always
00:02:48.658 --> 00:02:50.360
The breakthroughs are always in your future, then you
00:02:50.426 --> 00:02:52.128
In your future, then you haven't received it into
00:02:52.195 --> 00:02:53.663
Haven't received it into your spirit.
00:02:53.730 --> 00:02:55.298
Your spirit. you have
00:02:55.365 --> 00:02:55.832
You have to be healed in your spirit
00:02:55.898 --> 00:02:58.001
To be healed in your spirit before you'll be healed in
00:02:58.067 --> 00:02:59.135
Before you'll be healed in your body.
00:02:59.202 --> 00:03:00.370
Your body. you have to be prosperous
00:03:00.436 --> 00:03:01.671
You have to be prosperous in your spirit, before
00:03:01.738 --> 00:03:03.339
In your spirit, before you'll be prosperous in the
00:03:03.406 --> 00:03:04.540
You'll be prosperous in the natural.
00:03:04.607 --> 00:03:05.608
Natural. if you believe that it's
00:03:05.675 --> 00:03:06.609
If you believe that it's going to happen, sometime
00:03:06.676 --> 00:03:08.711
Going to happen, sometime in the future, then there's
00:03:08.778 --> 00:03:10.546
In the future, then there's no promise that it's going
00:03:10.613 --> 00:03:12.148
No promise that it's going to happen.
00:03:12.215 --> 00:03:13.216
To happen. you have to receive it when
00:03:13.283 --> 00:03:14.817
You have to receive it when you believe, when you pray,
00:03:14.884 --> 00:03:17.587
You believe, when you pray, even though nothing has
00:03:17.654 --> 00:03:18.521
Even though nothing has changed, even though every
00:03:18.588 --> 00:03:20.223
Changed, even though every circumstance looks just the
00:03:20.290 --> 00:03:21.624
Circumstance looks just the same, your faith says, “it
00:03:21.691 --> 00:03:23.926
Same, your faith says, “it happened.
00:03:23.993 --> 00:03:24.927
Happened. things changed in my favor.”
00:03:24.994 --> 00:03:27.664
Things changed in my favor.” this is what my mother did.
00:03:27.730 --> 00:03:29.565
This is what my mother did. she was diagnosed with
00:03:29.632 --> 00:03:30.566
She was diagnosed with terminal liver cancer in
00:03:30.633 --> 00:03:32.268
Terminal liver cancer in 1981, there was no
00:03:32.335 --> 00:03:34.470
1981, there was no treatment the doctors
00:03:34.537 --> 00:03:35.738
Treatment the doctors could give her.
00:03:35.805 --> 00:03:36.739
Could give her. my father brought her home
00:03:36.806 --> 00:03:38.207
My father brought her home from the hospital.
00:03:38.274 --> 00:03:39.542
From the hospital. they were devastated.
00:03:39.609 --> 00:03:40.576
They were devastated. they laid down on the
00:03:40.643 --> 00:03:42.245
They laid down on the bedroom floor, they prayed
00:03:42.312 --> 00:03:44.414
Bedroom floor, they prayed and asked god to heal her.
00:03:44.480 --> 00:03:46.749
And asked god to heal her. my mother believed that day
00:03:46.816 --> 00:03:49.052
My mother believed that day that she received her
00:03:49.118 --> 00:03:50.019
That she received her healing.
00:03:50.086 --> 00:03:51.321
Healing. not that she was going to
00:03:51.387 --> 00:03:52.488
Not that she was going to be healed but that it had
00:03:52.555 --> 00:03:54.090
Be healed but that it had already happened.
00:03:54.157 --> 00:03:55.725
Already happened. she wrote it down, december
00:03:55.792 --> 00:03:57.360
She wrote it down, december 11th, 1981, when we prayed,
00:03:57.427 --> 00:04:00.830
11th, 1981, when we prayed, healing came into my body.
00:04:00.897 --> 00:04:03.099
Healing came into my body. now she didn't look any
00:04:03.166 --> 00:04:04.000
Now she didn't look any different, she didn't feel
00:04:04.067 --> 00:04:05.735
Different, she didn't feel any different, but she
00:04:05.802 --> 00:04:07.203
Any different, but she didn't go by what she saw.
00:04:07.270 --> 00:04:09.505
Didn't go by what she saw. we have to walk by faith
00:04:09.572 --> 00:04:11.140
We have to walk by faith and not by sight.
00:04:11.207 --> 00:04:13.009
And not by sight. from that time on, i never
00:04:13.076 --> 00:04:14.844
From that time on, i never heard her praying, “god,
00:04:14.911 --> 00:04:16.512
Heard her praying, “god, please heal me, god, please
00:04:16.579 --> 00:04:18.548
Please heal me, god, please let me live, god, please
00:04:18.614 --> 00:04:20.283
Let me live, god, please turn this around.” if you
00:04:20.350 --> 00:04:22.552
Turn this around.” if you received it when you
00:04:22.618 --> 00:04:23.686
Received it when you prayed, then instead of
00:04:23.753 --> 00:04:25.688
Prayed, then instead of begging god, you'll thank
00:04:25.755 --> 00:04:26.856
Begging god, you'll thank him. “lord, thank you that
00:04:26.923 --> 00:04:28.658
Him. “lord, thank you that i am healed, thank you that
00:04:28.725 --> 00:04:31.260
I am healed, thank you that with long life you'll
00:04:31.327 --> 00:04:32.462
With long life you'll satisfy me.” if you're
00:04:32.528 --> 00:04:34.664
Satisfy me.” if you're always asking god for the
00:04:34.731 --> 00:04:36.265
Always asking god for the same thing over and over,
00:04:36.332 --> 00:04:38.101
Same thing over and over, the problem is you're not
00:04:38.167 --> 00:04:40.203
The problem is you're not receiving what you're
00:04:40.269 --> 00:04:41.270
Receiving what you're asking for.
00:04:41.337 --> 00:04:42.739
Asking for. try a different approach
00:04:42.805 --> 00:04:44.173
Try a different approach and believe that it
00:04:44.240 --> 00:04:45.108
And believe that it happened.
00:04:45.174 --> 00:04:46.576
Happened. for months my mother didn't
00:04:46.642 --> 00:04:47.977
For months my mother didn't look any better.
00:04:48.044 --> 00:04:49.145
Look any better. she was frail, her skin was
00:04:49.212 --> 00:04:51.214
She was frail, her skin was yellow.
00:04:51.280 --> 00:04:52.048
Yellow. but i would hear her going
00:04:52.115 --> 00:04:53.416
But i would hear her going through the house, saying,
00:04:53.483 --> 00:04:54.851
Through the house, saying, “father, thank you that on
00:04:54.917 --> 00:04:56.552
“father, thank you that on december 11th when we
00:04:56.619 --> 00:04:58.254
December 11th when we prayed, healing came into
00:04:58.321 --> 00:04:59.989
Prayed, healing came into my body.
00:05:00.056 --> 00:05:01.090
My body. lord, i believe that day
00:05:01.157 --> 00:05:02.658
Lord, i believe that day the tide of the battle
00:05:02.725 --> 00:05:03.893
The tide of the battle turned in my health.” her
00:05:03.960 --> 00:05:05.762
Turned in my health.” her mind was made up.
00:05:05.828 --> 00:05:07.296
Mind was made up. she was no longer trying to
00:05:07.363 --> 00:05:08.664
She was no longer trying to get healed; she was already
00:05:08.731 --> 00:05:10.233
Get healed; she was already healed.
00:05:10.299 --> 00:05:10.900
Healed. she was just waiting for
00:05:10.967 --> 00:05:12.001
She was just waiting for the manifestation to show
00:05:12.068 --> 00:05:13.736
The manifestation to show up.
00:05:13.803 --> 00:05:14.904
Up. that's different than
00:05:14.971 --> 00:05:15.972
That's different than hoping something will
00:05:16.038 --> 00:05:16.939
Hoping something will happen.
00:05:17.006 --> 00:05:18.408
Happen. when you pray according to
00:05:18.474 --> 00:05:19.776
When you pray according to god's word, and you receive
00:05:19.842 --> 00:05:21.911
God's word, and you receive what you're believing for,
00:05:21.978 --> 00:05:23.613
What you're believing for, then there's a certainty.
00:05:23.679 --> 00:05:25.415
Then there's a certainty. it's already happened.
00:05:25.481 --> 00:05:27.417
It's already happened. you don't have to live
00:05:27.483 --> 00:05:28.284
You don't have to live worried, trying to convince
00:05:28.351 --> 00:05:30.386
Worried, trying to convince god to do something, you
00:05:30.453 --> 00:05:32.054
God to do something, you can rest, knowing that's
00:05:32.121 --> 00:05:33.456
Can rest, knowing that's it's already done.
00:05:33.523 --> 00:05:35.224
It's already done. at the right time, god will
00:05:35.291 --> 00:05:37.059
At the right time, god will bring it from the unseen to
00:05:37.126 --> 00:05:38.895
Bring it from the unseen to the seen.
00:05:38.961 --> 00:05:40.329
The seen. this is a much better way
00:05:40.396 --> 00:05:41.564
This is a much better way to live.
00:05:41.631 --> 00:05:42.732
To live. this takes all the pressure
00:05:42.799 --> 00:05:44.133
This takes all the pressure off.
00:05:44.200 --> 00:05:45.101
Off. if you're praying and then
00:05:45.168 --> 00:05:46.536
If you're praying and then worrying, asking god again
00:05:46.602 --> 00:05:48.771
Worrying, asking god again and again, stressed out,
00:05:48.838 --> 00:05:50.740
And again, stressed out, then you didn't really
00:05:50.807 --> 00:05:51.541
Then you didn't really receive it.
00:05:51.607 --> 00:05:53.109
Receive it. the scripture says, “those
00:05:53.176 --> 00:05:54.710
The scripture says, “those who have believed enter
00:05:54.777 --> 00:05:56.446
Who have believed enter into rest.” when you've
00:05:56.512 --> 00:05:58.748
Into rest.” when you've received it by faith, you
00:05:58.815 --> 00:06:00.349
Received it by faith, you don't live uptight, it's in
00:06:00.416 --> 00:06:01.851
Don't live uptight, it's in god's hands.
00:06:01.918 --> 00:06:03.586
God's hands. my mother kept thanking god
00:06:03.653 --> 00:06:04.921
My mother kept thanking god for her healing.
00:06:04.987 --> 00:06:06.289
For her healing. over time, what she
00:06:06.355 --> 00:06:07.857
Over time, what she received in her spirit,
00:06:07.924 --> 00:06:09.792
Received in her spirit, became a reality in the
00:06:09.859 --> 00:06:11.294
Became a reality in the natural.
00:06:11.360 --> 00:06:12.295
Natural. she got better and better.
00:06:12.361 --> 00:06:14.096
She got better and better. today forty-one years
00:06:14.163 --> 00:06:15.298
Today forty-one years later, she's still healthy
00:06:15.364 --> 00:06:16.899
Later, she's still healthy and strong.
00:06:16.966 --> 00:06:19.001
I believe one key is she
00:06:19.101 --> 00:06:22.138
I believe one key is she received her healing when
00:06:22.205 --> 00:06:23.906
Received her healing when she prayed.
00:06:23.973 --> 00:06:25.341
She prayed. she believed she was healed
00:06:25.408 --> 00:06:27.143
She believed she was healed when there was no sign of
00:06:27.210 --> 00:06:28.811
When there was no sign of it.
00:06:28.878 --> 00:06:29.512
It. jesus didn't say, “believe
00:06:29.579 --> 00:06:31.380
Jesus didn't say, “believe you receive when you see
00:06:31.447 --> 00:06:33.082
You receive when you see it, when your health turns
00:06:33.149 --> 00:06:34.817
It, when your health turns around, when the
00:06:34.884 --> 00:06:35.785
Around, when the breakthrough comes.” he
00:06:35.852 --> 00:06:37.653
Breakthrough comes.” he said believe you receive
00:06:37.720 --> 00:06:39.288
Said believe you receive when you pray, when nothing
00:06:39.355 --> 00:06:41.591
When you pray, when nothing looks any different, when
00:06:41.657 --> 00:06:43.192
Looks any different, when it seems like the sickness
00:06:43.259 --> 00:06:44.427
Is winning, when your
00:06:44.527 --> 00:06:45.728
Is winning, when your finances aren't changing.
00:06:45.795 --> 00:06:48.097
Finances aren't changing. if it happened instantly,
00:06:48.164 --> 00:06:49.465
If it happened instantly, it wouldn't take any faith.
00:06:49.532 --> 00:06:51.567
It wouldn't take any faith. this is where you show god
00:06:51.634 --> 00:06:53.336
This is where you show god what you're made of.
00:06:53.402 --> 00:06:55.304
What you're made of. “god i'm asking for your
00:06:55.371 --> 00:06:56.472
“god i'm asking for your healing, lord, give me this
00:06:56.539 --> 00:06:57.974
Healing, lord, give me this scholarship so i can go to
00:06:58.040 --> 00:06:59.509
Scholarship so i can go to college, lord, i'm asking
00:06:59.575 --> 00:07:01.377
College, lord, i'm asking you to send the right
00:07:01.444 --> 00:07:02.311
You to send the right person that i can marry.”
00:07:02.378 --> 00:07:04.847
Person that i can marry.” you put your request before
00:07:04.914 --> 00:07:06.349
You put your request before god.
00:07:06.415 --> 00:07:07.283
God. that's what the scripture
00:07:07.350 --> 00:07:08.184
That's what the scripture says.
00:07:08.251 --> 00:07:08.818
Says. you ask in faith, now
00:07:08.885 --> 00:07:10.786
You ask in faith, now believe that it happened.
00:07:10.853 --> 00:07:13.055
Believe that it happened. not that's it's going to,
00:07:13.122 --> 00:07:14.724
Not that's it's going to, one day, believe that god
00:07:14.790 --> 00:07:16.659
One day, believe that god granted that request.
00:07:16.726 --> 00:07:18.294
Granted that request. believe that he set the
00:07:18.361 --> 00:07:19.529
Believe that he set the answer on the way.
00:07:19.595 --> 00:07:21.564
Answer on the way. when it's something
00:07:21.631 --> 00:07:22.265
When it's something important, when it's
00:07:22.331 --> 00:07:23.866
Important, when it's significant, like my mother
00:07:23.933 --> 00:07:25.735
Significant, like my mother did, you should set a date.
00:07:25.801 --> 00:07:28.170
Did, you should set a date. mark that time that you
00:07:28.237 --> 00:07:29.539
Mark that time that you prayed.
00:07:29.605 --> 00:07:30.373
Prayed. let that be a reminder
00:07:30.439 --> 00:07:32.208
Let that be a reminder that's when it happened.
00:07:32.275 --> 00:07:34.210
That's when it happened. when doubt comes,
00:07:34.277 --> 00:07:35.378
When doubt comes, discouraging thoughts try
00:07:35.444 --> 00:07:36.946
Discouraging thoughts try to talk you out of it, you
00:07:37.013 --> 00:07:38.414
To talk you out of it, you can go back to that date.
00:07:38.481 --> 00:07:40.383
Can go back to that date. “no, i know when i prayed
00:07:40.449 --> 00:07:41.951
“no, i know when i prayed on may 22nd my healing
00:07:42.018 --> 00:07:43.819
On may 22nd my healing came, my breakthrough came,
00:07:43.886 --> 00:07:46.255
Came, my breakthrough came, my child's turn around
00:07:46.322 --> 00:07:47.456
My child's turn around came, my spouse was set in
00:07:47.523 --> 00:07:49.458
Came, my spouse was set in motion headed my way.”
00:07:49.525 --> 00:07:52.228
Motion headed my way.” the test is when we don't
00:07:52.295 --> 00:07:54.096
The test is when we don't see anything changing.
00:07:54.163 --> 00:07:55.865
See anything changing. thoughts whisper, “nothing
00:07:55.932 --> 00:07:57.099
Thoughts whisper, “nothing happened.
00:07:57.166 --> 00:07:58.334
Happened. you didn't get healed on
00:07:58.401 --> 00:07:59.402
You didn't get healed on december 11th, you're just
00:07:59.468 --> 00:08:01.470
December 11th, you're just the same.
00:08:01.537 --> 00:08:02.738
The same. you prayed but you'll never
00:08:02.805 --> 00:08:04.206
You prayed but you'll never meet the right person, your
00:08:04.273 --> 00:08:05.975
Meet the right person, your business is not going to
00:08:06.042 --> 00:08:07.043
Business is not going to make it, something would
00:08:07.109 --> 00:08:08.511
Make it, something would have improved by now.”
00:08:08.578 --> 00:08:10.580
Have improved by now.” don't believe those lies.
00:08:10.646 --> 00:08:12.348
Don't believe those lies. the enemy would love to
00:08:12.415 --> 00:08:13.482
The enemy would love to talk you out of what god
00:08:13.549 --> 00:08:15.184
Talk you out of what god put in your spirit.
00:08:15.251 --> 00:08:17.019
Put in your spirit. you received it by faith,
00:08:17.086 --> 00:08:18.988
You received it by faith, now you have to walk by
00:08:19.055 --> 00:08:20.289
Now you have to walk by faith.
00:08:20.356 --> 00:08:21.691
Faith. just because you don't see
00:08:21.757 --> 00:08:22.992
Just because you don't see anything happening doesn't
00:08:23.059 --> 00:08:24.660
Anything happening doesn't mean god is not working.
00:08:24.727 --> 00:08:27.096
Mean god is not working. in the unseen realm what
00:08:27.163 --> 00:08:29.098
In the unseen realm what you received in your
00:08:29.165 --> 00:08:30.299
You received in your spirit, became a reality.
00:08:30.366 --> 00:08:32.735
Spirit, became a reality. it's just a matter of time
00:08:32.802 --> 00:08:34.203
It's just a matter of time before you see it show up.
00:08:34.270 --> 00:08:36.939
Before you see it show up. jesus was leaving the city
00:08:37.006 --> 00:08:38.407
Jesus was leaving the city of bethany; he saw a fig
00:08:38.474 --> 00:08:40.376
Of bethany; he saw a fig tree off in the distance.
00:08:40.443 --> 00:08:42.211
Tree off in the distance. he was hungry, so he walked
00:08:42.278 --> 00:08:43.579
He was hungry, so he walked over to it, but it didn't
00:08:43.646 --> 00:08:45.281
Over to it, but it didn't have any figs on it.
00:08:45.348 --> 00:08:46.983
Have any figs on it. he said to the tree, “may
00:08:47.049 --> 00:08:48.618
He said to the tree, “may no person ever eat your
00:08:48.684 --> 00:08:50.620
No person ever eat your fruit again.” but when he
00:08:50.686 --> 00:08:52.788
Fruit again.” but when he said it, nothing on the
00:08:52.855 --> 00:08:54.256
Said it, nothing on the outside looked any
00:08:54.323 --> 00:08:55.625
Outside looked any different.
00:08:55.691 --> 00:08:56.792
Different. the tree was just as
00:08:56.859 --> 00:08:57.693
Healthy and green as can be.
00:08:57.793 --> 00:09:00.363
Healthy and green as can be. i can hear the disciples
00:09:00.429 --> 00:09:01.697
I can hear the disciples whispering, “what happened?
00:09:01.764 --> 00:09:03.766
Whispering, “what happened? it didn't work this time.”
00:09:03.833 --> 00:09:05.935
It didn't work this time.” they had seen him speak to
00:09:06.002 --> 00:09:07.503
They had seen him speak to a blind man and his eyes
00:09:07.570 --> 00:09:09.338
A blind man and his eyes were healed.
00:09:09.405 --> 00:09:10.539
Were healed. they heard him speak to a
00:09:10.606 --> 00:09:11.774
They heard him speak to a storm and calm the waters,
00:09:11.841 --> 00:09:14.610
Storm and calm the waters, but when he spoke to this
00:09:14.677 --> 00:09:15.778
But when he spoke to this tree nothing changed.
00:09:15.845 --> 00:09:17.947
Tree nothing changed. there was no evidence that
00:09:18.014 --> 00:09:19.415
There was no evidence that what he said had happened.
00:09:19.482 --> 00:09:21.350
What he said had happened. they went on their way,
00:09:21.417 --> 00:09:22.284
They went on their way, puzzled, wondering what
00:09:22.351 --> 00:09:23.986
Puzzled, wondering what went wrong.
00:09:24.053 --> 00:09:25.388
Went wrong. the next morning, as they
00:09:25.454 --> 00:09:26.522
The next morning, as they were passing by, the
00:09:26.589 --> 00:09:28.057
Were passing by, the disciples saw the tree.
00:09:28.124 --> 00:09:29.425
Disciples saw the tree. it was all withered up.
00:09:29.492 --> 00:09:31.927
It was all withered up. peter was so amazed he
00:09:31.994 --> 00:09:33.763
Said, “look jesus, the tree
00:09:33.863 --> 00:09:35.531
Said, “look jesus, the tree you cursed is dying.” they
00:09:35.598 --> 00:09:38.100
You cursed is dying.” they didn't think anything
00:09:38.167 --> 00:09:39.135
Didn't think anything happened, none of the
00:09:39.201 --> 00:09:40.703
Happened, none of the outside circumstances
00:09:40.770 --> 00:09:42.171
Outside circumstances looked any different, but
00:09:42.238 --> 00:09:43.806
Looked any different, but when jesus spoke it, in the
00:09:43.873 --> 00:09:45.775
When jesus spoke it, in the unseen realm things changed.
00:09:45.841 --> 00:09:48.911
Unseen realm things changed. two verses later, jesus
00:09:48.978 --> 00:09:50.813
Two verses later, jesus told them this principle,
00:09:50.880 --> 00:09:52.815
Told them this principle, “when you pray, believe
00:09:52.882 --> 00:09:54.617
“when you pray, believe that you receive it, and
00:09:54.684 --> 00:09:56.018
That you receive it, and you will have it.” he was
00:09:56.085 --> 00:09:58.254
You will have it.” he was showing us through the fig
00:09:58.320 --> 00:09:59.655
Showing us through the fig tree, you may not see
00:09:59.722 --> 00:10:01.457
Tree, you may not see anything changing.
00:10:01.524 --> 00:10:03.192
Anything changing. all the evidence may look
00:10:03.259 --> 00:10:04.527
All the evidence may look the same.
00:10:04.593 --> 00:10:05.494
The same. your health is the same,
00:10:05.561 --> 00:10:07.096
Your health is the same, your finances, your
00:10:07.163 --> 00:10:08.130
Your finances, your children, nothing's
00:10:08.197 --> 00:10:09.465
Children, nothing's improved.
00:10:09.532 --> 00:10:10.700
Improved. you could think.
00:10:10.766 --> 00:10:11.333
You could think. “god, i received my
00:10:11.400 --> 00:10:12.735
“god, i received my healing, i received what
00:10:12.802 --> 00:10:14.670
Healing, i received what you promised but i don't
00:10:14.737 --> 00:10:16.472
You promised but i don't feel any different, i'm
00:10:16.539 --> 00:10:18.174
Feel any different, i'm still struggling in my
00:10:18.240 --> 00:10:19.175
Still struggling in my career, i'm still waiting
00:10:19.241 --> 00:10:21.110
Career, i'm still waiting for the right person.
00:10:21.177 --> 00:10:22.545
For the right person. maybe i'm not healed, maybe
00:10:22.611 --> 00:10:24.447
Maybe i'm not healed, maybe i'm not prosperous, maybe i
00:10:24.513 --> 00:10:26.182
I'm not prosperous, maybe i won't meet the right
00:10:26.248 --> 00:10:27.016
Won't meet the right person.” no, don't be
00:10:27.083 --> 00:10:28.818
Person.” no, don't be fooled by the outside.
00:10:28.884 --> 00:10:30.653
Fooled by the outside. god is working behind the
00:10:30.720 --> 00:10:32.188
God is working behind the scenes.
00:10:32.254 --> 00:10:33.255
Scenes. in that realm that you
00:10:33.322 --> 00:10:34.323
In that realm that you can't see, things have
00:10:34.390 --> 00:10:35.858
Can't see, things have shifted.
00:10:35.925 --> 00:10:37.193
Shifted. the moment you received
00:10:37.259 --> 00:10:38.728
The moment you received what you believed for;
00:10:38.794 --> 00:10:40.329
What you believed for; things started lining up in
00:10:40.396 --> 00:10:41.897
Things started lining up in your favor.
00:10:41.964 --> 00:10:42.965
Your favor. good breaks, the right
00:10:43.032 --> 00:10:44.667
Good breaks, the right people, healing, abundance,
00:10:44.734 --> 00:10:46.936
People, healing, abundance, started heading your way.
00:10:47.002 --> 00:10:49.071
Started heading your way. the scripture says, “the
00:10:49.138 --> 00:10:50.306
The scripture says, “the roots of the fig tree began
00:10:50.372 --> 00:10:52.541
Roots of the fig tree began to wither.” something
00:10:52.608 --> 00:10:54.210
To wither.” something underground, unseen began
00:10:54.276 --> 00:10:56.746
Underground, unseen began to take place.
00:10:56.812 --> 00:10:58.447
To take place. right now, there are things
00:10:58.514 --> 00:11:00.149
Right now, there are things in the unseen realm
00:11:00.216 --> 00:11:01.751
In the unseen realm changing in your favor.
00:11:01.817 --> 00:11:03.819
Changing in your favor. chains that have held you
00:11:03.886 --> 00:11:05.054
Chains that have held you back are being broken, bad
00:11:05.121 --> 00:11:07.389
Back are being broken, bad habits that have hindered
00:11:07.456 --> 00:11:08.624
Habits that have hindered your children are being
00:11:08.691 --> 00:11:10.025
Your children are being loosed, strongholds are
00:11:10.092 --> 00:11:12.294
Loosed, strongholds are coming down, new doors are
00:11:12.361 --> 00:11:14.497
Coming down, new doors are about to open, dreams
00:11:14.563 --> 00:11:16.499
About to open, dreams you've been believing for
00:11:16.565 --> 00:11:17.800
You've been believing for are about to show up.
00:11:17.867 --> 00:11:19.902
Are about to show up. don't get discouraged by
00:11:19.969 --> 00:11:20.936
Don't get discouraged by what's not happening.
00:11:21.003 --> 00:11:22.705
What's not happening. you can't see in this
00:11:22.772 --> 00:11:23.939
You can't see in this unseen realm. this is where
00:11:24.006 --> 00:11:25.841
Unseen realm. this is where faith kicks in. “i don't
00:11:25.908 --> 00:11:27.943
Faith kicks in. “i don't see any evidence, nothing
00:11:28.010 --> 00:11:29.779
See any evidence, nothing looks like it's improving,
00:11:29.845 --> 00:11:31.380
Looks like it's improving, but god i know what i
00:11:31.447 --> 00:11:32.848
But god i know what i received in my spirit is
00:11:32.915 --> 00:11:34.817
Received in my spirit is about to show up in the
00:11:34.884 --> 00:11:36.018
Natural.”
00:11:36.118 --> 00:11:37.653
Natural.” jesus started off this
00:11:37.720 --> 00:11:38.687
Jesus started off this passage by saying, “have
00:11:38.754 --> 00:11:41.023
Passage by saying, “have faith in god.” it's not
00:11:41.090 --> 00:11:43.659
Faith in god.” it's not faith in your circumstances.
00:11:43.726 --> 00:11:46.028
Faith in your circumstances. not faith in what you can
00:11:46.095 --> 00:11:47.363
Not faith in what you can do.
00:11:47.429 --> 00:11:48.097
Do. not faith in your boss,
00:11:48.164 --> 00:11:49.498
Not faith in your boss, your banker, your parents,
00:11:49.565 --> 00:11:50.933
Your banker, your parents, your doctor, your pastor.
00:11:51.000 --> 00:11:52.134
Your doctor, your pastor. that's all good.
00:11:52.201 --> 00:11:53.969
That's all good. but they don't control the
00:11:54.036 --> 00:11:55.137
But they don't control the universe.
00:11:55.204 --> 00:11:56.405
Universe. they didn't speak worlds
00:11:56.472 --> 00:11:57.540
They didn't speak worlds into existence.
00:11:57.606 --> 00:11:58.908
Into existence. they didn't part red seas;
00:11:58.974 --> 00:12:00.843
They didn't part red seas; they didn't raise lazarus
00:12:00.910 --> 00:12:02.178
They didn't raise lazarus from the dead.
00:12:02.244 --> 00:12:03.379
From the dead. our god is all powerful,
00:12:03.445 --> 00:12:05.681
Our god is all powerful, nothing can stand against
00:12:05.748 --> 00:12:07.249
Nothing can stand against him. when he speaks, angels
00:12:07.316 --> 00:12:09.351
Go to work, forces of
00:12:09.451 --> 00:12:11.320
Go to work, forces of darkness are broken, good
00:12:11.387 --> 00:12:13.189
Darkness are broken, good breaks come chasing you
00:12:13.255 --> 00:12:14.456
Breaks come chasing you down.
00:12:14.523 --> 00:12:15.925
Down. what you've received in
00:12:15.991 --> 00:12:17.092
What you've received in your spirit may look
00:12:17.159 --> 00:12:18.694
Your spirit may look impossible, the odds are
00:12:18.761 --> 00:12:20.763
Impossible, the odds are against you but it's
00:12:20.830 --> 00:12:22.298
Against you but it's nothing for our god.
00:12:22.364 --> 00:12:23.966
Nothing for our god. one touch of his favor will
00:12:24.033 --> 00:12:26.068
One touch of his favor will catapult you ahead, free
00:12:26.135 --> 00:12:28.370
Catapult you ahead, free you from that addiction,
00:12:28.437 --> 00:12:29.972
You from that addiction, heal you from that cancer,
00:12:30.039 --> 00:12:32.107
Heal you from that cancer, cause you to come out of
00:12:32.174 --> 00:12:33.108
Cause you to come out of lack into abundance, out of
00:12:33.175 --> 00:12:35.611
Lack into abundance, out of struggle into overflow, out
00:12:35.678 --> 00:12:37.847
Struggle into overflow, out of loneliness into great
00:12:37.913 --> 00:12:39.615
Of loneliness into great relationships.
00:12:39.682 --> 00:12:41.250
Relationships. you may be looking at that
00:12:41.317 --> 00:12:42.418
You may be looking at that fig tree today, “joel, i
00:12:42.484 --> 00:12:44.420
Fig tree today, “joel, i received my healing, but
00:12:44.486 --> 00:12:45.921
Received my healing, but nothing happened.
00:12:45.988 --> 00:12:47.456
Nothing happened. i believe i'm blessed, i'm
00:12:47.523 --> 00:12:49.325
I believe i'm blessed, i'm prosperous, i'm free, but
00:12:49.391 --> 00:12:50.960
Prosperous, i'm free, but there's no sign of it.”
00:12:51.026 --> 00:12:52.428
There's no sign of it.” stay in faith, your time is
00:12:52.494 --> 00:12:54.663
Stay in faith, your time is coming.
00:12:54.730 --> 00:12:55.764
Coming. god is faithful, he sees
00:12:55.831 --> 00:12:58.167
God is faithful, he sees you doing the right thing.
00:12:58.234 --> 00:13:00.002
You doing the right thing. he sees you believing when
00:13:00.069 --> 00:13:01.904
He sees you believing when you're not seeing, praising
00:13:01.971 --> 00:13:03.939
You're not seeing, praising when you could be
00:13:04.006 --> 00:13:04.573
When you could be complaining, thanking him
00:13:04.640 --> 00:13:06.842
Complaining, thanking him when it's not improving.
00:13:06.909 --> 00:13:08.611
When it's not improving. it's just a matter of time
00:13:08.677 --> 00:13:10.546
It's just a matter of time before you see the
00:13:10.613 --> 00:13:11.413
Before you see the breakthrough, the
00:13:11.480 --> 00:13:12.615
Breakthrough, the promotion, the healing, the
00:13:12.681 --> 00:13:14.450
Promotion, the healing, the victory.
00:13:14.516 --> 00:13:15.885
Victory. don't get talked out of it.
00:13:15.951 --> 00:13:17.853
Don't get talked out of it. don't let what's not
00:13:17.920 --> 00:13:18.787
Don't let what's not happening convince you that
00:13:18.854 --> 00:13:20.656
Happening convince you that god is not working.
00:13:20.723 --> 00:13:22.625
God is not working. there's an unseen realm
00:13:22.691 --> 00:13:24.493
There's an unseen realm that our physical eyes
00:13:24.560 --> 00:13:25.527
That our physical eyes can't see.
00:13:25.594 --> 00:13:27.062
Can't see. yet everything starts in
00:13:27.129 --> 00:13:28.497
Yet everything starts in the unseen, through our
00:13:28.564 --> 00:13:30.466
The unseen, through our faith we can bring it in to
00:13:30.532 --> 00:13:32.268
Faith we can bring it in to the scene.
00:13:32.334 --> 00:13:34.103
The scene. when i first started
00:13:34.169 --> 00:13:34.937
When i first started ministering, i was so
00:13:35.004 --> 00:13:36.338
Ministering, i was so nervous, so intimidated,
00:13:36.405 --> 00:13:38.774
Nervous, so intimidated, insecure.
00:13:38.841 --> 00:13:40.209
Insecure. every thought told me i
00:13:40.276 --> 00:13:42.144
Every thought told me i couldn't get up here in
00:13:42.211 --> 00:13:42.945
Couldn't get up here in front of people.
00:13:43.012 --> 00:13:44.346
Front of people. i had never ministered.
00:13:44.413 --> 00:13:45.447
I had never ministered. my father passed in 1999,
00:13:45.514 --> 00:13:48.150
My father passed in 1999, and i knew i was supposed
00:13:48.217 --> 00:13:49.585
And i knew i was supposed to step up and pastor the
00:13:49.652 --> 00:13:50.886
To step up and pastor the church.
00:13:50.953 --> 00:13:52.021
Church. i prayed and asked god to
00:13:52.087 --> 00:13:53.622
I prayed and asked god to help me, asked for
00:13:53.689 --> 00:13:55.024
Help me, asked for confidence, asked for
00:13:55.090 --> 00:13:57.226
Confidence, asked for strength but i didn't
00:13:57.293 --> 00:13:58.327
Strength but i didn't understand this principle.
00:13:58.394 --> 00:14:00.296
Understand this principle. that you have to receive it
00:14:00.362 --> 00:14:01.697
That you have to receive it when you ask.
00:14:01.764 --> 00:14:03.632
When you ask. i was waiting to feel
00:14:03.699 --> 00:14:04.800
I was waiting to feel confident, feel anointed.
00:14:04.867 --> 00:14:07.069
Confident, feel anointed. the problem is it never
00:14:07.136 --> 00:14:08.203
The problem is it never came.
00:14:08.270 --> 00:14:09.338
Came. i kept asking god again and
00:14:09.405 --> 00:14:11.040
I kept asking god again and again. one day, i realized
00:14:11.106 --> 00:14:13.409
Again. one day, i realized what i'm telling you.
00:14:13.475 --> 00:14:14.810
What i'm telling you. i have to receive it by
00:14:14.877 --> 00:14:16.178
I have to receive it by faith.
00:14:16.245 --> 00:14:17.546
Faith. instead of saying, “god,
00:14:17.613 --> 00:14:18.881
Instead of saying, “god, help me to be confident,
00:14:18.948 --> 00:14:20.416
Help me to be confident, help me to be strong.
00:14:20.482 --> 00:14:21.684
Help me to be strong. i'm asking for your
00:14:21.750 --> 00:14:22.451
I'm asking for your anointing.” i started
00:14:22.518 --> 00:14:24.053
Anointing.” i started believing, “i am anointed.
00:14:24.119 --> 00:14:26.455
Believing, “i am anointed. i am confident.
00:14:26.522 --> 00:14:27.623
I am confident. i am strong, i am well
00:14:27.690 --> 00:14:29.491
I am strong, i am well able.” when i was saying
00:14:29.558 --> 00:14:31.727
Able.” when i was saying that, none of it was true.
00:14:31.794 --> 00:14:34.697
That, none of it was true. i felt just the opposite.
00:14:34.763 --> 00:14:36.565
I felt just the opposite. like that fig tree, “god,
00:14:36.632 --> 00:14:38.133
Like that fig tree, “god, you said it, you promised
00:14:38.200 --> 00:14:40.102
You said it, you promised it but i don't see any
00:14:40.169 --> 00:14:41.603
It but i don't see any evidence.” i just kept
00:14:41.670 --> 00:14:43.272
Evidence.” i just kept saying it, i kept believing
00:14:43.339 --> 00:14:44.974
Saying it, i kept believing it.
00:14:45.040 --> 00:14:45.607
It. i kept declaring it.
00:14:45.674 --> 00:14:46.342
I kept declaring it. and before long it became a
00:14:46.408 --> 00:14:48.510
And before long it became a reality.
00:14:48.577 --> 00:14:49.778
Reality. i pulled it out of the
00:14:49.845 --> 00:14:50.813
I pulled it out of the unseen into the seen.
00:14:50.879 --> 00:14:53.882
Unseen into the seen. once you ask god for
00:14:53.949 --> 00:14:55.050
Once you ask god for something, you don't have
00:14:55.117 --> 00:14:56.685
Something, you don't have to keep asking.
00:14:56.752 --> 00:14:58.454
To keep asking. the key is to receive it,
00:14:58.520 --> 00:15:00.689
The key is to receive it, believe that it happened
00:15:00.756 --> 00:15:02.458
Believe that it happened and then instead of asking
00:15:02.524 --> 00:15:03.792
And then instead of asking over and over, start
00:15:03.859 --> 00:15:05.561
Over and over, start thanking him. i quit asking
00:15:05.627 --> 00:15:08.163
Thanking him. i quit asking god for his anointing and i
00:15:08.230 --> 00:15:09.898
God for his anointing and i started saying, “father,
00:15:09.965 --> 00:15:10.966
Started saying, “father, thank you that i am
00:15:11.033 --> 00:15:12.201
Anointed.” i don't ask god
00:15:12.301 --> 00:15:14.670
Anointed.” i don't ask god to bless me every day, i've
00:15:14.737 --> 00:15:16.372
To bless me every day, i've received the blessing.
00:15:16.438 --> 00:15:18.107
Received the blessing. i say, “father, thank you
00:15:18.173 --> 00:15:19.441
I say, “father, thank you that i am blessed.
00:15:19.508 --> 00:15:20.976
That i am blessed. thank you that i am
00:15:21.043 --> 00:15:21.977
Thank you that i am prosperous, thank you that
00:15:22.044 --> 00:15:23.245
Prosperous, thank you that i am healthy.” if you
00:15:23.312 --> 00:15:25.414
I am healthy.” if you continue to ask for the
00:15:25.481 --> 00:15:26.815
Continue to ask for the same thing over and over, i
00:15:26.882 --> 00:15:29.385
Same thing over and over, i know you're sincere, but
00:15:29.451 --> 00:15:31.253
Know you're sincere, but that's not showing god that
00:15:31.320 --> 00:15:32.654
That's not showing god that you trust him.
00:15:32.721 --> 00:15:33.322
You trust him. if our daughter, alexandra,
00:15:33.389 --> 00:15:35.991
If our daughter, alexandra, came up and asked me for
00:15:36.058 --> 00:15:37.059
Came up and asked me for something, i said, “yes
00:15:37.126 --> 00:15:38.527
Something, i said, “yes alexandra, i'll do it.”
00:15:38.594 --> 00:15:40.429
Alexandra, i'll do it.” then she came back an hour
00:15:40.496 --> 00:15:41.663
Then she came back an hour later and asked me again.
00:15:41.730 --> 00:15:44.099
Later and asked me again. “yes, i told you i would do
00:15:44.166 --> 00:15:45.367
“yes, i told you i would do it.” she came the next day
00:15:45.434 --> 00:15:47.336
With the same request and
00:15:47.436 --> 00:15:48.771
With the same request and again and again. as a
00:15:48.837 --> 00:15:50.939
Again and again. as a father, that would make me
00:15:51.006 --> 00:15:52.741
Father, that would make me feel bad.
00:15:52.808 --> 00:15:54.109
Feel bad. i would think, “don't you
00:15:54.176 --> 00:15:55.044
I would think, “don't you trust me?

Begging me.” it's the same way with our heavenly

Blessing on my business; lord, let my gifts come out

Stop there, pray the same thing every day.
00:17:55.731 --> 00:17:56.832
Thing every day. take the next step.
00:17:56.899 --> 00:17:58.100
Take the next step. “father, i receive what you

Difference maker, that i will leave my family better

Will leave my family better than they were before.” the
00:18:08.243 --> 00:18:10.512
Way you pull it out of the
00:18:10.612 --> 00:18:11.847
Way you pull it out of the unseen into the seen is by
00:18:11.914 --> 00:18:14.416
Unseen into the seen is by faith.
00:18:14.483 --> 00:18:15.450
Faith. it's by receiving what
00:18:15.517 --> 00:18:16.952
It's by receiving what you're asking for.
00:18:17.019 --> 00:18:17.819
You're asking for. now here's another key, it
00:18:17.886 --> 00:18:20.255
Now here's another key, it doesn't do any good to pray
00:18:20.322 --> 00:18:21.790
Doesn't do any good to pray for something and then go
00:18:21.857 --> 00:18:23.659
For something and then go out and talk about how it's
00:18:23.725 --> 00:18:25.460
Out and talk about how it's probably not going to
00:18:25.527 --> 00:18:26.261
Probably not going to happen.
00:18:26.328 --> 00:18:27.629
Happen. don't cancel out your
00:18:27.696 --> 00:18:28.764
Don't cancel out your prayer with negative talk.
00:18:28.830 --> 00:18:31.400
Prayer with negative talk. “we prayed for my finances,
00:18:31.466 --> 00:18:32.901
“we prayed for my finances, joel, but i don't know.
00:18:32.968 --> 00:18:34.136
Joel, but i don't know. have you seen the news?
00:18:34.203 --> 00:18:35.537
Have you seen the news? this economy is rough.” you
00:18:35.604 --> 00:18:37.206
This economy is rough.” you just nullified your prayer.
00:18:37.272 --> 00:18:39.575
Just nullified your prayer. you can't pray for victory
00:18:39.641 --> 00:18:41.343
You can't pray for victory and talk defeat.
00:18:41.410 --> 00:18:43.545
And talk defeat. when you believe that you
00:18:43.612 --> 00:18:44.746
When you believe that you received what you asked
00:18:44.813 --> 00:18:46.148
Received what you asked for, that it already
00:18:46.215 --> 00:18:47.783
For, that it already happened, then it's a
00:18:47.849 --> 00:18:49.017
Happened, then it's a different mindset.
00:18:49.084 --> 00:18:50.819
Different mindset. it's not, “i hope it's
00:18:50.886 --> 00:18:51.887
It's not, “i hope it's going to work out.” there's
00:18:51.954 --> 00:18:53.589
Going to work out.” there's a knowing.
00:18:53.655 --> 00:18:55.057
A knowing. your attitude is, “it's
00:18:55.123 --> 00:18:56.458
Your attitude is, “it's already done.
00:18:56.525 --> 00:18:57.793
Already done. things have shifted in my
00:18:57.859 --> 00:18:59.094
Things have shifted in my favor.” this is the
00:18:59.161 --> 00:19:01.263
Favor.” this is the confidence we can have in
00:19:01.330 --> 00:19:03.232
Confidence we can have in our god.
00:19:03.298 --> 00:19:04.466
Our god. he's called el shaddai, the
00:19:04.533 --> 00:19:06.335
He's called el shaddai, the god of more than enough.
00:19:06.401 --> 00:19:08.203
God of more than enough. he's called jehovah jireh,
00:19:08.270 --> 00:19:10.072
He's called jehovah jireh, the lord our provider.
00:19:10.138 --> 00:19:11.773
The lord our provider. jehovah rapha, the lord our
00:19:11.840 --> 00:19:13.709
Jehovah rapha, the lord our healer.
00:19:13.775 --> 00:19:14.743
Healer. the great i am, the all
00:19:14.810 --> 00:19:16.778
The great i am, the all sufficient one.
00:19:16.845 --> 00:19:18.614
Sufficient one. when we ask in faith, when
00:19:18.680 --> 00:19:20.449
When we ask in faith, when we receive it into our
00:19:20.515 --> 00:19:21.683
We receive it into our spirit, we can be confident
00:19:21.750 --> 00:19:24.386
Spirit, we can be confident that in the unseen realm
00:19:24.453 --> 00:19:26.255
That in the unseen realm something shifts.
00:19:26.321 --> 00:19:27.856
Something shifts. favor is set in motion.
00:19:27.923 --> 00:19:29.925
Favor is set in motion. angels are dispatched.
00:19:29.992 --> 00:19:31.727
Angels are dispatched. forces of darkness are
00:19:31.793 --> 00:19:32.894
Forces of darkness are broken.
00:19:32.961 --> 00:19:34.229
Broken. it's not, “i wonder if it's
00:19:34.296 --> 00:19:36.498
It's not, “i wonder if it's going to happen.” no, “it's
00:19:36.565 --> 00:19:37.866
Going to happen.” no, “it's when is it going to happen.
00:19:37.933 --> 00:19:39.868
When is it going to happen. “i am confident in the god
00:19:39.935 --> 00:19:41.770
“i am confident in the god we serve, that he is
00:19:41.837 --> 00:19:43.205
We serve, that he is faithful, that what he
00:19:43.272 --> 00:19:44.773
Faithful, that what he started, he will finish.”
00:19:44.840 --> 00:19:47.776
Started, he will finish.” it may look like the fig
00:19:47.843 --> 00:19:49.011
It may look like the fig tree right now, nothing has
00:19:49.077 --> 00:19:51.346
Tree right now, nothing has improved, but you know a
00:19:51.413 --> 00:19:52.948
Improved, but you know a secret.
00:19:53.015 --> 00:19:53.615
Secret. in the unseen realm, things
00:19:53.682 --> 00:19:55.817
In the unseen realm, things have changed.
00:19:55.884 --> 00:19:56.551
Have changed. it's just a matter of time
00:19:56.618 --> 00:19:58.720
It's just a matter of time before you receive what you
00:19:58.787 --> 00:20:00.722
Before you receive what you saw in your spirit.
00:20:00.789 --> 00:20:02.924
Saw in your spirit. the scripture says in
00:20:02.991 --> 00:20:03.859
The scripture says in james, “if you need wisdom,
00:20:03.925 --> 00:20:06.962
James, “if you need wisdom, you can ask god and he will
00:20:07.029 --> 00:20:08.830
You can ask god and he will gladly tell you.
00:20:08.897 --> 00:20:10.532
Gladly tell you. but when you ask, be sure
00:20:10.599 --> 00:20:12.768
But when you ask, be sure you really expect him to
00:20:12.834 --> 00:20:14.269
You really expect him to answer.
00:20:14.336 --> 00:20:15.470
Answer. for a doubtful mind is as
00:20:15.537 --> 00:20:17.339
For a doubtful mind is as unsettled as a wave of the
00:20:17.406 --> 00:20:19.007
Unsettled as a wave of the sea.
00:20:19.074 --> 00:20:20.008
Sea. people like that should not
00:20:20.075 --> 00:20:21.777
People like that should not expect to receive anything
00:20:21.843 --> 00:20:23.812
Expect to receive anything from god.” this is talking
00:20:23.879 --> 00:20:26.248
From god.” this is talking about wisdom, but the
00:20:26.315 --> 00:20:27.683
About wisdom, but the principle is true.
00:20:27.749 --> 00:20:29.551
Principle is true. when you ask god, it says
00:20:29.618 --> 00:20:31.820
When you ask god, it says be sure you really expect
00:20:31.887 --> 00:20:33.855
Be sure you really expect him to answer.
00:20:33.922 --> 00:20:35.324
Him to answer. sometimes we go to god
00:20:35.390 --> 00:20:36.925
Sometimes we go to god hoping, wishing, maybe i'll
00:20:36.992 --> 00:20:39.561
Hoping, wishing, maybe i'll get lucky and something
00:20:39.628 --> 00:20:40.562
Get lucky and something will happen.
00:20:40.629 --> 00:20:41.830
Will happen. how about going to god with
00:20:41.897 --> 00:20:43.298
How about going to god with confidence, knowing that
00:20:43.365 --> 00:20:45.334
Confidence, knowing that when you ask in faith, he
00:20:45.400 --> 00:20:47.402
When you ask in faith, he will answer you.
00:20:47.469 --> 00:20:49.338
Will answer you. i love how it says god will
00:20:49.404 --> 00:20:51.073
I love how it says god will gladly give you wisdom.
00:20:51.139 --> 00:20:53.408
Gladly give you wisdom. he's not up in the heavens
00:20:53.475 --> 00:20:54.576
He's not up in the heavens upset, like you're
00:20:54.643 --> 00:20:56.178
Upset, like you're bothering him, “what do you
00:20:56.244 --> 00:20:57.646
Bothering him, “what do you need again, i'm tired of
00:20:57.713 --> 00:20:59.648
Need again, i'm tired of dealing with you.” god
00:20:59.715 --> 00:21:01.416
Dealing with you.” god loves for you to come to
00:21:01.483 --> 00:21:02.851
Loves for you to come to him. he's longing to be
00:21:02.918 --> 00:21:04.820
Him. he's longing to be good to you.
00:21:04.886 --> 00:21:06.121
Good to you. but if you're going to see
00:21:06.188 --> 00:21:07.055
But if you're going to see things happen, there are
00:21:07.122 --> 00:21:08.623
Things happen, there are some requirements.
00:21:08.690 --> 00:21:10.258
Some requirements. come to him expecting an
00:21:10.325 --> 00:21:12.260
Come to him expecting an answer, expecting him to be
00:21:12.327 --> 00:21:14.496
Answer, expecting him to be good to you.
00:21:14.563 --> 00:21:15.697
Good to you. and number two, when you
00:21:15.764 --> 00:21:17.232
And number two, when you ask, believe that you

Start starving your doubts and feeding your faith.
00:22:59.067 --> 00:23:01.136
And feeding your faith. like the scripture says,
00:23:01.203 --> 00:23:02.537
Like the scripture says, maybe you've been wavering
00:23:02.604 --> 00:23:03.772
Maybe you've been wavering between two opinions, going
00:23:03.839 --> 00:23:05.574
Between two opinions, going back and forth.
00:23:05.640 --> 00:23:07.042
Back and forth. one day, “i believe it's

One day, “i believe it's going to happen.” the next
00:23:08.076 --> 00:23:09.544

That's okay. today can be a new day.
00:23:13.615 --> 00:23:15.684
Today can be a new day. you can set your mind.
00:23:15.750 --> 00:23:17.652
You can set your mind. you can make that decision,
00:23:17.719 --> 00:23:19.454
You can make that decision, “when i pray, i'm not just
00:23:19.521 --> 00:23:21.423
“when i pray, i'm not just going to believe that it
00:23:21.490 --> 00:23:22.591

I know many of you have been doing this.
00:23:30.832 --> 00:23:32.167
Been doing this. like my mother, standing in
00:23:32.234 --> 00:23:34.302
Like my mother, standing in faith when nothing is
00:23:34.369 --> 00:23:35.470
Faith when nothing is improving, believing when
00:23:35.537 --> 00:23:37.339
Improving, believing when you're not seeing, thanking
00:23:37.405 --> 00:23:39.007
You're not seeing, thanking god when there's no sign of
00:23:39.074 --> 00:23:40.509
God when there's no sign of it.
00:23:40.575 --> 00:23:41.343
It. thoughts tell you that
00:23:41.409 --> 00:23:42.043
Thoughts tell you that god's forgotten about you;
00:23:42.110 --> 00:23:43.578
God's forgotten about you; it's never going to change.
00:23:43.645 --> 00:23:45.213
It's never going to change. no, you need to get ready.
00:23:45.280 --> 00:23:46.481
No, you need to get ready. your time is coming.
00:23:46.548 --> 00:23:48.350

It's easy to get stuck in life
00:24:10.472 --> 00:24:11.006
In life because of fear
00:24:11.072 --> 00:24:11.907
Because of fear and lack of confidence,
00:24:11.973 --> 00:24:13.408
And lack of confidence, or we've been
