Maybe your dream is to get out of debt, to be able to
00:02:39.682 --> 00:02:41.084
Out of debt, to be able to pay your house off.

00:05:10.600 --> 00:05:11.968
Pinch myself. i had season tickets growin'
00:05:12.034 --> 00:05:13.569
I had season tickets growin' up to watch the rockets play
00:05:13.636 --> 00:05:15.104
Up to watch the rockets play basketball.
00:05:15.171 --> 00:05:16.272
Basketball. i never dreamed one day this
00:05:16.339 --> 00:05:18.141
I never dreamed one day this would be lakewood.
00:05:18.207 --> 00:05:19.609
Would be lakewood. never dreamed that i would be
00:05:19.675 --> 00:05:20.710
Never dreamed that i would be a minister.
00:05:20.777 --> 00:05:21.811
A minister. never dreamed, after 35 years
00:05:21.878 --> 00:05:24.147
Never dreamed, after 35 years of bein' diagnosed with
00:05:24.213 --> 00:05:25.214
Of bein' diagnosed with terminal cancer, my mother
00:05:25.281 --> 00:05:26.949
Terminal cancer, my mother would still be alive today.
00:05:27.016 --> 00:05:29.118
Would still be alive today. what is that?
00:05:29.185 --> 00:05:30.253
What is that? the exceeding abundantly
00:05:30.319 --> 00:05:32.188
The exceeding abundantly above and beyond favor god
00:05:32.255 --> 00:05:34.290
Above and beyond favor god has in store.
00:05:34.357 --> 00:05:35.525
Has in store. in acts chapter 3 there was a
00:05:35.591 --> 00:05:37.560
In acts chapter 3 there was a crippled man that was carried
00:05:37.627 --> 00:05:39.262
Crippled man that was carried to the temple each day.
00:05:39.328 --> 00:05:40.530
To the temple each day. and they put him next to the
00:05:40.596 --> 00:05:41.898
And they put him next to the main door.
00:05:41.964 --> 00:05:43.166
Main door. he would sit there and ask
00:05:43.232 --> 00:05:44.367
He would sit there and ask for money.
00:05:44.434 --> 00:05:45.401
For money. this is how he survived.
00:05:45.468 --> 00:05:47.136
This is how he survived. year after year, people would
00:05:47.203 --> 00:05:48.805
Year after year, people would give him donations.
00:05:48.871 --> 00:05:50.440
Give him donations. looked like this was his lot
00:05:50.506 --> 00:05:51.774
Looked like this was his lot in life.
00:05:51.841 --> 00:05:52.909
In life. he didn't complain about it.
00:05:52.975 --> 00:05:54.610
He didn't complain about it. he was doin' his best with
00:05:54.677 --> 00:05:56.012
He was doin' his best with what he had.
00:05:56.078 --> 00:05:56.746
What he had. but one afternoon peter and
00:05:56.813 --> 00:05:59.215
But one afternoon peter and john came to the temple.
00:05:59.282 --> 00:06:01.050
John came to the temple. as they were about to walk
00:06:01.117 --> 00:06:02.118
As they were about to walk in, this man asked them for
00:06:02.185 --> 00:06:04.020
In, this man asked them for money.
00:06:04.086 --> 00:06:05.054
Money. he must have been looking
00:06:05.121 --> 00:06:06.222
He must have been looking down because peter said,
00:06:06.289 --> 00:06:08.391
Down because peter said, "look at us."
00:06:08.458 --> 00:06:09.058
"look at us." and the scripture says, "the
00:06:09.125 --> 00:06:10.860
And the scripture says, "the man looked up, expecting to
00:06:10.927 --> 00:06:13.129
Man looked up, expecting to receive a gift."
00:06:13.196 --> 00:06:15.164
Receive a gift." peter said, "i don't have any
00:06:15.231 --> 00:06:16.432
Peter said, "i don't have any money for ya, but i can
00:06:16.499 --> 00:06:18.034
Money for ya, but i can give ya somethin' better.
00:06:18.100 --> 00:06:19.569
Give ya somethin' better. in the name of jesus, rise
00:06:19.635 --> 00:06:21.304
In the name of jesus, rise and walk."
00:06:21.370 --> 00:06:22.338
And walk." peter took him by the hand.
00:06:22.405 --> 00:06:23.606
Peter took him by the hand. he helped the man up.
00:06:23.673 --> 00:06:24.807
He helped the man up. when he did, instantly, his
00:06:24.874 --> 00:06:27.143
When he did, instantly, his legs were healed.
00:06:27.210 --> 00:06:28.478
Legs were healed. he started walkin', runnin',
00:06:28.544 --> 00:06:30.146
He started walkin', runnin', leaping, so grateful for what
00:06:30.213 --> 00:06:31.881
Leaping, so grateful for what god had done.
00:06:31.948 --> 00:06:33.316
God had done. but here's my point.
00:06:33.382 --> 00:06:34.584
But here's my point. when peter said, "i have
00:06:34.650 --> 00:06:35.952
When peter said, "i have somethin' for you," the man
00:06:36.018 --> 00:06:37.920
Somethin' for you," the man expected the ordinary.
00:06:37.987 --> 00:06:40.356
Expected the ordinary. he expected what he had
00:06:40.423 --> 00:06:41.624
He expected what he had always seen.
00:06:41.691 --> 00:06:43.159
Always seen. it had happened again and
00:06:43.226 --> 00:06:44.494
It had happened again and again the same way.
00:06:44.560 --> 00:06:45.394
Again the same way. he would ask.
00:06:45.461 --> 00:06:46.395
He would ask. people would give him a few
00:06:46.462 --> 00:06:47.563
People would give him a few donations.
00:06:47.630 --> 00:06:48.965
Donations. but this day, god came along
00:06:49.031 --> 00:06:51.767
But this day, god came along and did somethin' out of the
00:06:51.834 --> 00:06:53.302
And did somethin' out of the ordinary.
00:06:53.369 --> 00:06:54.504
Ordinary. he was expecting a few coins,
00:06:54.570 --> 00:06:56.873
He was expecting a few coins, but god said, in effect, "i'm
00:06:56.939 --> 00:06:58.674
But god said, in effect, "i'm going to exceed your
00:06:58.741 --> 00:07:00.209
Going to exceed your expectations.
00:07:00.276 --> 00:07:01.511
Expectations. i'm going to do above and
00:07:01.577 --> 00:07:03.112
I'm going to do above and beyond what you're asking
00:07:03.179 --> 00:07:04.814
Beyond what you're asking for."
00:07:04.881 --> 00:07:05.848
For." that one moment of favor
00:07:05.915 --> 00:07:07.984
That one moment of favor thrust him to the next level.
00:07:08.050 --> 00:07:09.285
Thrust him to the next level. and like this man, you may be
00:07:09.352 --> 00:07:12.188
And like this man, you may be expecting the ordinary.
00:07:12.255 --> 00:07:14.423
Expecting the ordinary. you're going through the
00:07:14.490 --> 00:07:15.191
You're going through the routine of life, bein' your
00:07:15.258 --> 00:07:17.193
Routine of life, bein' your best with what ya have.
00:07:17.260 --> 00:07:19.228
Best with what ya have. but where you are looks like
00:07:19.295 --> 00:07:21.230
But where you are looks like that's the way it's always
00:07:21.297 --> 00:07:22.298
That's the way it's always going to be.
00:07:22.365 --> 00:07:23.399
Going to be. there's no sign of anything
00:07:23.466 --> 00:07:24.800
There's no sign of anything changing.
00:07:24.867 --> 00:07:25.735
Changing. you're expecting more of the
00:07:25.801 --> 00:07:27.103
You're expecting more of the same.
00:07:27.169 --> 00:07:28.237
Same. but god is sayin', "i'm about
00:07:28.304 --> 00:07:30.106
But god is sayin', "i'm about to exceed your expectations.
00:07:30.172 --> 00:07:33.075
To exceed your expectations. yes, it's been routine, but
00:07:33.142 --> 00:07:35.344
Yes, it's been routine, but you passed the test.
00:07:35.411 --> 00:07:36.812
You passed the test. now you're coming into a new
00:07:36.879 --> 00:07:38.481
Now you're coming into a new day where i'm about to thrust

Day where i'm about to thrust you to a new level.

You to a new level. i'm about to increase you
00:07:42.051 --> 00:07:43.386
I'm about to increase you beyond your normal income."
00:07:43.452 --> 00:07:46.088
Beyond your normal income." blessings are about to chase
00:07:46.155 --> 00:07:47.857
Blessings are about to chase you down.
00:07:47.924 --> 00:07:48.958
You down. good breaks are going to come
00:07:49.025 --> 00:07:50.426
Good breaks are going to come finding you.

Finding you. god is going to supersize

God is going to supersize what you're believin' for.

What you're believin' for. you didn't ask for it.
00:07:55.498 --> 00:07:57.133
You didn't ask for it. you weren't expecting it.
00:07:57.199 --> 00:07:58.634
You weren't expecting it. you didn't see it coming,
00:07:58.701 --> 00:08:00.169
You didn't see it coming, it's just the goodness of
00:08:00.236 --> 00:08:01.437
It's just the goodness of god.
00:08:01.504 --> 00:08:02.705
God. the scripture talks about how
00:08:02.772 --> 00:08:04.140
The scripture talks about how we'll be blessed, pressed
00:08:04.206 --> 00:08:05.575
We'll be blessed, pressed down, shaken together, and
00:08:05.641 --> 00:08:07.910
Down, shaken together, and running over.
00:08:07.977 --> 00:08:09.111
Running over. you're going to come in to
00:08:09.178 --> 00:08:10.546
You're going to come in to those runnin' over blessing,
00:08:10.613 --> 00:08:12.648
Those runnin' over blessing, runnin' over with influence,
00:08:12.715 --> 00:08:14.584
Runnin' over with influence, runnin' over with creativity,
00:08:14.650 --> 00:08:16.552
Runnin' over with creativity, runnin' over with resources,
00:08:16.619 --> 00:08:18.321
Runnin' over with resources, runnin' over with good
00:08:18.387 --> 00:08:19.589
Runnin' over with good health.
00:08:19.655 --> 00:08:20.323
Health. god is a runnin'-over god.
00:08:20.389 --> 00:08:23.059
God is a runnin'-over god. he's not a get-by god.
00:08:23.125 --> 00:08:24.694
He's not a get-by god. he's a more-than-enough god.
00:08:24.760 --> 00:08:25.995
He's a more-than-enough god. and you may not see how this
00:08:26.062 --> 00:08:28.497
And you may not see how this could happen, but god has
00:08:28.564 --> 00:08:30.399
Could happen, but god has ways to bless you that you've
00:08:30.466 --> 00:08:32.101
Ways to bless you that you've never thought of.
00:08:32.168 --> 00:08:33.669
Never thought of. i talked to a man that owns a
00:08:33.736 --> 00:08:35.271
I talked to a man that owns a landscape company.
00:08:35.338 --> 00:08:36.872
Landscape company. their specialty is bagging
00:08:36.939 --> 00:08:38.841
Their specialty is bagging grass clippings and disposing
00:08:38.908 --> 00:08:40.643
Grass clippings and disposing of them.
00:08:40.710 --> 00:08:41.344
Of them. and he had an agreement with
00:08:41.410 --> 00:08:42.845
And he had an agreement with a local farmer where he would
00:08:42.912 --> 00:08:44.580
A local farmer where he would take those grass clippings
00:08:44.647 --> 00:08:46.115
Take those grass clippings and feed his herd of cattle.
00:08:46.182 --> 00:08:47.617
And feed his herd of cattle. and this worked well for many
00:08:47.683 --> 00:08:49.552
And this worked well for many years.
00:08:49.619 --> 00:08:50.286
Years. everything was goin' great
00:08:50.353 --> 00:08:51.988
Everything was goin' great until this farmer became
00:08:52.054 --> 00:08:53.522
Until this farmer became sick.
00:08:53.589 --> 00:08:54.590
Sick. he was an older gentleman,
00:08:54.657 --> 00:08:56.158
He was an older gentleman, and decided to sell his farm.
00:08:56.225 --> 00:08:57.827
And decided to sell his farm. and this man got bids of
00:08:57.893 --> 00:09:00.563
And this man got bids of getting rid of his grass
00:09:00.630 --> 00:09:02.331
Getting rid of his grass clippings in conventional
00:09:02.398 --> 00:09:03.699
Clippings in conventional ways, but the lowest one was
00:09:03.766 --> 00:09:06.135
Ways, but the lowest one was tens of thousands of dollars
00:09:06.202 --> 00:09:07.903
Tens of thousands of dollars a year, and he couldn't
00:09:07.970 --> 00:09:09.038
A year, and he couldn't afford that kind of overhead.
00:09:09.105 --> 00:09:10.573
Afford that kind of overhead. it looked like he was stuck,
00:09:10.640 --> 00:09:12.541
It looked like he was stuck, like he didn't have any
00:09:12.608 --> 00:09:13.509
Like he didn't have any options.
00:09:13.576 --> 00:09:14.677
Options. but instead of getting
00:09:14.744 --> 00:09:15.544
But instead of getting discouraged, instead of
00:09:15.611 --> 00:09:17.013
Discouraged, instead of complaining, his attitude
00:09:17.079 --> 00:09:18.714
Complaining, his attitude was, "god, i don't see a way,
00:09:18.781 --> 00:09:20.716
Was, "god, i don't see a way, but i know you have a way.
00:09:20.783 --> 00:09:22.618
But i know you have a way. i know you're a runnin'-over
00:09:22.685 --> 00:09:23.853
I know you're a runnin'-over god, a more-than-enough god,
00:09:23.919 --> 00:09:25.788
God, a more-than-enough god, an overflow god."
00:09:25.855 --> 00:09:26.756
An overflow god." and like the blind man, he
00:09:26.822 --> 00:09:28.991
And like the blind man, he was expecting somethin'
00:09:29.058 --> 00:09:30.059
Was expecting somethin' ordinary, somethin' usual,
00:09:30.126 --> 00:09:32.061
Ordinary, somethin' usual, maybe the farmer would change
00:09:32.128 --> 00:09:33.529
Maybe the farmer would change his mind.
00:09:33.596 --> 00:09:34.664
His mind. maybe he'd find another farm
00:09:34.730 --> 00:09:36.532
Maybe he'd find another farm where he could feed their
00:09:36.599 --> 00:09:37.433
Where he could feed their cattle.
00:09:37.500 --> 00:09:38.634
Cattle. but god's ways are not our
00:09:38.701 --> 00:09:40.569
But god's ways are not our ways.
00:09:40.636 --> 00:09:41.504
Ways. there are set times where god
00:09:41.570 --> 00:09:43.639
There are set times where god is going to exceed your
00:09:43.706 --> 00:09:45.207
Is going to exceed your expectations, where he is
00:09:45.274 --> 00:09:46.876
Expectations, where he is going to supersize your life.
00:09:46.942 --> 00:09:48.678
Going to supersize your life. and several major developers
00:09:48.744 --> 00:09:51.480
And several major developers were interested in this farm.
00:09:51.547 --> 00:09:53.616
Were interested in this farm. it looked like it would sell
00:09:53.683 --> 00:09:54.817
It looked like it would sell quickly, and maybe even turn
00:09:54.884 --> 00:09:56.886
Quickly, and maybe even turn out to be a bidding war.
00:09:56.952 --> 00:09:58.988
Out to be a bidding war. but they found out the
00:09:59.055 --> 00:09:59.922
But they found out the property was in a flood
00:09:59.989 --> 00:10:01.691
Property was in a flood plain.
00:10:01.757 --> 00:10:02.358
Plain. and even though it'd not
00:10:02.425 --> 00:10:03.559
And even though it'd not flooded there in years and
00:10:03.626 --> 00:10:04.694
Flooded there in years and years, no bank would give
00:10:04.760 --> 00:10:06.796
Years, no bank would give anyone a loan.
00:10:06.862 --> 00:10:07.596
Anyone a loan. and this farmer didn't have
00:10:07.663 --> 00:10:09.465
And this farmer didn't have any options, so he sold the
00:10:09.532 --> 00:10:11.600
Any options, so he sold the property to this man for
00:10:11.667 --> 00:10:13.502
Property to this man for hardly anything.
00:10:13.569 --> 00:10:15.271
Hardly anything. it had several tenants on it.
00:10:15.337 --> 00:10:17.506
It had several tenants on it. their rent not only pays his
00:10:17.573 --> 00:10:19.575
Their rent not only pays his monthly payment, but there's
00:10:19.642 --> 00:10:21.477
Monthly payment, but there's profit left over each month.
00:10:21.544 --> 00:10:24.113
Profit left over each month. so instead of having to put
00:10:24.180 --> 00:10:25.347
So instead of having to put his money out to purchase the
00:10:25.414 --> 00:10:27.183
His money out to purchase the property, now they're
00:10:27.249 --> 00:10:28.718
Property, now they're actually payin' him to take
00:10:28.784 --> 00:10:30.953
Actually payin' him to take the property.
00:10:31.020 --> 00:10:32.254
The property. god can make things happen
00:10:32.321 --> 00:10:34.323
God can make things happen that you could never make
00:10:34.390 --> 00:10:35.324
That you could never make happen.
00:10:35.391 --> 00:10:36.192
Happen. one touch of his favor will
00:10:36.258 --> 00:10:38.527
One touch of his favor will put you at another level.
00:10:38.594 --> 00:10:39.895
Put you at another level. and you may be thinkin',
00:10:39.962 --> 00:10:41.597
And you may be thinkin', "ordinary."
00:10:41.664 --> 00:10:42.598
"ordinary." god's thinkin', "overflow."
00:10:42.665 --> 00:10:44.533
God's thinkin', "overflow." you're thinkin', "the way
00:10:44.600 --> 00:10:45.334
You're thinkin', "the way it's always been."
00:10:45.401 --> 00:10:46.635
It's always been." god is about to exceed your
00:10:46.702 --> 00:10:49.105
God is about to exceed your expectations.
00:10:49.171 --> 00:10:50.673
Expectations. he's about to do a new thing.
00:10:50.740 --> 00:10:52.875
He's about to do a new thing. like this man, you're going
00:10:52.942 --> 00:10:54.410
Like this man, you're going to come into these
00:10:54.477 --> 00:10:55.377
To come into these runnin'-over blessings.
00:10:55.444 --> 00:10:57.346
Runnin'-over blessings. you didn't have anything to
00:10:57.413 --> 00:10:58.414
You didn't have anything to do with it.
00:10:58.481 --> 00:10:59.181
Do with it. it's just the favor of god.
00:10:59.248 --> 00:11:00.950
It's just the favor of god. it's what the scripture talks
00:11:01.016 --> 00:11:02.051
It's what the scripture talks about, how, "you'll live in
00:11:02.118 --> 00:11:03.452
About, how, "you'll live in houses that you didn't have
00:11:03.519 --> 00:11:05.087
Houses that you didn't have to build."
00:11:05.154 --> 00:11:05.955
To build." how, "you'll reap from
00:11:06.021 --> 00:11:06.689
How, "you'll reap from vineyards that you didn't
00:11:06.756 --> 00:11:07.890
Vineyards that you didn't plant."
00:11:07.957 --> 00:11:09.091
Plant." this is what happened in the
00:11:09.158 --> 00:11:10.192
This is what happened in the scripture to a young lady
00:11:10.259 --> 00:11:11.927
Scripture to a young lady named ruth.
00:11:11.994 --> 00:11:13.329
Named ruth. her husband was killed in a
00:11:13.395 --> 00:11:14.797
Her husband was killed in a battle.
00:11:14.864 --> 00:11:15.464
Battle. and she'd back to her
00:11:15.531 --> 00:11:16.866
And she'd back to her mother-in-law's hometown to
00:11:16.932 --> 00:11:18.634
Mother-in-law's hometown to help take care of her.
00:11:18.701 --> 00:11:20.336
Help take care of her. they barely had enough food
00:11:20.402 --> 00:11:21.771
They barely had enough food to survive.
00:11:21.837 --> 00:11:23.072
To survive. she would go out in the
00:11:23.139 --> 00:11:24.006
She would go out in the fields and pick up the
00:11:24.073 --> 00:11:25.574
Fields and pick up the leftover wheat that the
00:11:25.641 --> 00:11:27.176
Leftover wheat that the workers had missed.
00:11:27.243 --> 00:11:28.277
Workers had missed. and one day, the owner of the
00:11:28.344 --> 00:11:30.613
And one day, the owner of the field noticed ruth.
00:11:30.679 --> 00:11:31.981
Field noticed ruth. he told his workers to
00:11:32.047 --> 00:11:34.283
He told his workers to leave handfuls of wheat on
00:11:34.350 --> 00:11:36.452
Leave handfuls of wheat on purpose for ruth.
00:11:36.519 --> 00:11:38.320
Purpose for ruth. now she didn't have to work
00:11:38.387 --> 00:11:39.789
Now she didn't have to work nearly as hard.
00:11:39.855 --> 00:11:41.223
Nearly as hard. she could gather up the wheat
00:11:41.290 --> 00:11:42.424
She could gather up the wheat they needed in a fraction of
00:11:42.491 --> 00:11:44.093
They needed in a fraction of the time.
00:11:44.160 --> 00:11:44.760
The time. and when ruth went out each
00:11:44.827 --> 00:11:46.695
And when ruth went out each morning, she was expecting
00:11:46.762 --> 00:11:48.430
Morning, she was expecting more of the same.
00:11:48.497 --> 00:11:49.865
More of the same. she was grateful.
00:11:49.932 --> 00:11:51.300
She was grateful. god was meeting their needs.
00:11:51.367 --> 00:11:53.402
God was meeting their needs. but god is full of surprises.
00:11:53.469 --> 00:11:56.405
But god is full of surprises. just when you think you've
00:11:56.472 --> 00:11:57.606
Just when you think you've reached your limits, god's
00:11:57.673 --> 00:11:59.375
Reached your limits, god's been good to you, you're
00:11:59.441 --> 00:12:00.476
Been good to you, you're satisfied, god has somethin'
00:12:00.543 --> 00:12:02.945
Satisfied, god has somethin' bigger in mind.
00:12:03.012 --> 00:12:03.813
Bigger in mind. and the owner of that field,
00:12:03.879 --> 00:12:06.348
And the owner of that field, boaz, was one of the
00:12:06.415 --> 00:12:07.883
Boaz, was one of the wealthiest men in that area.
00:12:07.950 --> 00:12:10.452
Wealthiest men in that area. he fell in love with ruth.
00:12:10.519 --> 00:12:12.588
He fell in love with ruth. they ended up getting
00:12:12.655 --> 00:12:13.589
They ended up getting married.
00:12:13.656 --> 00:12:14.523
Married. now, instead of workin' in
00:12:14.590 --> 00:12:15.958
Now, instead of workin' in the field, ruth owned the
00:12:16.025 --> 00:12:17.493
The field, ruth owned the field.
00:12:17.560 --> 00:12:18.460
Field. what happened?
00:12:18.527 --> 00:12:19.261
What happened? god supersized her life.
00:12:19.328 --> 00:12:21.864
God supersized her life. this is especially important
00:12:21.931 --> 00:12:24.200
This is especially important because ruth had gone through
00:12:24.266 --> 00:12:25.701
Because ruth had gone through a lot of heartache and pain.
00:12:25.768 --> 00:12:28.070
A lot of heartache and pain. losing her husband at an
00:12:28.137 --> 00:12:30.072
Losing her husband at an early age, i'm sure she
00:12:30.139 --> 00:12:31.440
Early age, i'm sure she thought, "wow, life's not
00:12:31.507 --> 00:12:33.008
Thought, "wow, life's not fair.
00:12:33.075 --> 00:12:33.876
Fair. god, why did this happen to
00:12:33.943 --> 00:12:35.177
God, why did this happen to me?"
00:12:35.244 --> 00:12:35.845
Me?" it looked like she had seen
00:12:35.911 --> 00:12:37.313
It looked like she had seen her best days.
00:12:37.379 --> 00:12:38.147
Her best days. and if she would've heard
00:12:38.214 --> 00:12:39.748
And if she would've heard this message, she could've
00:12:39.815 --> 00:12:41.283
This message, she could've said, "ah, joel, this sounds
00:12:41.350 --> 00:12:42.484
Said, "ah, joel, this sounds good, but god's not going to
00:12:42.551 --> 00:12:44.253
Good, but god's not going to supersize my life.
00:12:44.320 --> 00:12:45.988
Supersize my life. i've been through too much.
00:12:46.055 --> 00:12:47.723
I've been through too much. things haven't turned out the
00:12:47.790 --> 00:12:49.158
Things haven't turned out the way i had planned.
00:12:49.225 --> 00:12:50.693
Way i had planned. i'm content to just survive."
00:12:50.759 --> 00:12:52.595
I'm content to just survive." and you may feel that way,
00:12:52.661 --> 00:12:55.297
And you may feel that way, but like ruth, god hasn't
00:12:55.364 --> 00:12:57.366
But like ruth, god hasn't forgotten about you.
00:12:57.433 --> 00:12:59.168
Forgotten about you. he's seen the heartache
00:12:59.235 --> 00:13:00.436
He's seen the heartache you've endured.
00:13:00.502 --> 00:13:01.804
You've endured. he's seen the lonely nights,
00:13:01.871 --> 00:13:04.073
He's seen the lonely nights, the unfair situations.
00:13:04.139 --> 00:13:06.008
The unfair situations. you may have accepted it, but
00:13:06.075 --> 00:13:08.043
You may have accepted it, but god has not accepted it.
00:13:08.110 --> 00:13:10.012
God has not accepted it. he not only has some handfuls
00:13:10.079 --> 00:13:12.214
He not only has some handfuls on purpose for you, he has
00:13:12.281 --> 00:13:14.216
On purpose for you, he has some boazes, some explosive
00:13:14.283 --> 00:13:16.919
Some boazes, some explosive blessings that are going to
00:13:16.986 --> 00:13:18.587
Blessings that are going to make up for the difficulties
00:13:18.654 --> 00:13:20.556
Make up for the difficulties you've been through.
00:13:20.623 --> 00:13:22.191
You've been through. god knows how to balance the
00:13:22.258 --> 00:13:24.426
God knows how to balance the books.
00:13:24.493 --> 00:13:25.594
Books. you may have taken a big hit
00:13:25.661 --> 00:13:27.162
You may have taken a big hit over here, a big loss.
00:13:27.229 --> 00:13:29.031
Over here, a big loss. well, get ready for some big

Blessings. god is a just god.
00:13:31.800 --> 00:13:34.236
God is a just god. when he supersizes your life,
00:13:34.303 --> 00:13:36.672
When he supersizes your life, you're going to be so amazed
00:13:36.739 --> 00:13:38.407
You're going to be so amazed at where you are, you don't
00:13:38.474 --> 00:13:40.142
At where you are, you don't even think about where you've
00:13:40.209 --> 00:13:41.343
Even think about where you've been.
00:13:41.410 --> 00:13:42.745
Been. but many of you can say, like
00:13:42.811 --> 00:13:44.046
But many of you can say, like me, that you're living a
00:13:44.113 --> 00:13:45.547
Me, that you're living a supersized life.
00:13:45.614 --> 00:13:47.149
Supersized life. god's been good to you.
00:13:47.216 --> 00:13:48.751
God's been good to you. you never dreamed you would
00:13:48.817 --> 00:13:49.952
You never dreamed you would be where you are.
00:13:50.019 --> 00:13:51.253
Be where you are. but can i tell ya, you
00:13:51.320 --> 00:13:52.621
But can i tell ya, you haven't seen anything yet.
00:13:52.688 --> 00:13:54.757
Haven't seen anything yet. you're on the runway, about
00:13:54.823 --> 00:13:56.525
You're on the runway, about to take off.
00:13:56.592 --> 00:13:57.826
To take off. you're just getting your
00:13:57.893 --> 00:13:58.694
You're just getting your engines revved up.
00:13:58.761 --> 00:14:00.562
Engines revved up. your rockets haven't kicked
00:14:00.629 --> 00:14:01.830
Your rockets haven't kicked in.
00:14:01.897 --> 00:14:02.564
In. your boosters haven't
00:14:02.631 --> 00:14:03.632
Your boosters haven't activated.
00:14:03.699 --> 00:14:04.633
Activated. god never performs his
00:14:04.700 --> 00:14:06.268
God never performs his greatest victories in your
00:14:06.335 --> 00:14:07.670
Greatest victories in your past.
00:14:07.736 --> 00:14:08.737
Past. they're always in your
00:14:08.804 --> 00:14:09.638
They're always in your future.
00:14:09.705 --> 00:14:10.706
Future. why don't you get your hopes
00:14:10.773 --> 00:14:11.907
Why don't you get your hopes up?
00:14:11.974 --> 00:14:12.808
Up? you may not see how it can
00:14:12.875 --> 00:14:14.076
You may not see how it can happen.
00:14:14.143 --> 00:14:14.777
Happen. but here's the whole key: you
00:14:14.843 --> 00:14:16.512
But here's the whole key: you can't see what god sees.
00:14:16.578 --> 00:14:19.181
Can't see what god sees. you don't know what god
00:14:19.248 --> 00:14:20.316
You don't know what god knows.
00:14:20.382 --> 00:14:21.317
Knows. ruth could've said, "it's not
00:14:21.383 --> 00:14:22.284
Ruth could've said, "it's not gonna happen to me.
00:14:22.351 --> 00:14:23.319
Gonna happen to me. i'm a widow taking care of
00:14:23.385 --> 00:14:25.220
I'm a widow taking care of another widow.
00:14:25.287 --> 00:14:26.555
Another widow. we don't have a job.
00:14:26.622 --> 00:14:27.723
We don't have a job. we don't have any retirement.
00:14:27.790 --> 00:14:29.191
We don't have any retirement. we don't have any income.
00:14:29.258 --> 00:14:30.659
We don't have any income. we're done."
00:14:30.726 --> 00:14:31.827
We're done." but what you don't have
00:14:31.894 --> 00:14:33.662
But what you don't have doesn't stop god.
00:14:33.729 --> 00:14:35.264
Doesn't stop god. he is not limited by what you
00:14:35.331 --> 00:14:37.366
He is not limited by what you think you're lacking.
00:14:37.433 --> 00:14:38.300
Think you're lacking. "well, i don't have the
00:14:38.367 --> 00:14:39.601
"well, i don't have the resource.
00:14:39.668 --> 00:14:40.269
Resource. i don't have the talent, the
00:14:40.336 --> 00:14:41.136
I don't have the talent, the education, the experience."
00:14:41.203 --> 00:14:42.571
Education, the experience." you may not, but god does.
00:14:42.638 --> 00:14:44.740
You may not, but god does. he has everything you need to
00:14:44.807 --> 00:14:46.642
He has everything you need to get you to where you're
00:14:46.709 --> 00:14:47.643
Get you to where you're supposed to be.
00:14:47.710 --> 00:14:48.377
Supposed to be. all the odds were against
00:14:48.444 --> 00:14:51.814
All the odds were against ruth.
00:14:51.880 --> 00:14:52.581
Ruth. it looked like she was done,
00:14:52.648 --> 00:14:54.383
It looked like she was done, but she came in to those
00:14:54.450 --> 00:14:55.784
But she came in to those runnin'-over blessings.
00:14:55.851 --> 00:14:57.353
Runnin'-over blessings. she went from havin' barely
00:14:57.419 --> 00:14:58.721
She went from havin' barely enough to havin' more than
00:14:58.787 --> 00:15:00.189
Enough to havin' more than enough.
00:15:00.255 --> 00:15:00.856
Enough. and here's how amazing god
00:15:00.923 --> 00:15:02.491
And here's how amazing god is.
00:15:02.558 --> 00:15:03.192
Is. ruth married boaz.
00:15:03.258 --> 00:15:05.127
Ruth married boaz. they had a son named obed.

They had a son named obed. obed had a son named jesse.
00:15:07.196 --> 00:15:09.198
Obed had a son named jesse. jesse had a son named david.
00:15:09.264 --> 00:15:11.433
Jesse had a son named david. that means this young lady
00:15:11.500 --> 00:15:13.202
That means this young lady that looked like her life was
00:15:13.268 --> 00:15:14.503
That looked like her life was over, a widow, barely makin'
00:15:14.570 --> 00:15:17.172
Over, a widow, barely makin' it, god not only blessed her
00:15:17.239 --> 00:15:19.141
It, god not only blessed her with abundance, but she ended
00:15:19.208 --> 00:15:21.176
With abundance, but she ended up in the family line of
00:15:21.243 --> 00:15:23.012
Up in the family line of jesus christ.
00:15:23.078 --> 00:15:24.713
Jesus christ. god knows how to make more
00:15:24.780 --> 00:15:27.249
God knows how to make more out of your life than you've
00:15:27.316 --> 00:15:28.650
Out of your life than you've ever imagined.
00:15:28.717 --> 00:15:30.152
Ever imagined. quit makin' excuses.
00:15:30.219 --> 00:15:31.887
Quit makin' excuses. quit thinkin' you've reached
00:15:31.954 --> 00:15:32.988
Quit thinkin' you've reached your limits.
00:15:33.055 --> 00:15:34.089
Your limits. god has somethin' big comin'
00:15:34.156 --> 00:15:36.125
God has somethin' big comin' your way.
00:15:36.191 --> 00:15:37.259
Your way. what he's going to do in your
00:15:37.326 --> 00:15:38.660
What he's going to do in your future is like nothin' you've
00:15:38.727 --> 00:15:40.529
Future is like nothin' you've seen in your past.
00:15:40.596 --> 00:15:41.930
Seen in your past. it's going to exceed your
00:15:41.997 --> 00:15:43.599
It's going to exceed your expectations.
00:15:43.665 --> 00:15:44.833
Expectations. it's going to be above and
00:15:44.900 --> 00:15:46.201
It's going to be above and beyond what you're thinking.
00:15:46.268 --> 00:15:48.504
Beyond what you're thinking. now, the real question is,
00:15:48.570 --> 00:15:50.406
Now, the real question is, will you let this seed take
00:15:50.472 --> 00:15:51.907
Will you let this seed take root?
00:15:51.974 --> 00:15:53.075
Root? the scripture says, "jesus
00:15:53.142 --> 00:15:54.676
The scripture says, "jesus couldn't do any miracles in
00:15:54.743 --> 00:15:56.512
Couldn't do any miracles in his hometown because of their
00:15:56.578 --> 00:15:58.514
His hometown because of their unbelief."
00:15:58.580 --> 00:15:59.715
Unbelief." it doesn't say, "he wouldn't
00:15:59.782 --> 00:16:00.816
It doesn't say, "he wouldn't do it."
00:16:00.883 --> 00:16:01.583
Do it." it says, "he couldn't do it."
00:16:01.650 --> 00:16:03.352
It says, "he couldn't do it." and i wonder how many times
00:16:03.419 --> 00:16:05.754
And i wonder how many times we're stopping god from
00:16:05.821 --> 00:16:07.289
We're stopping god from supersizing our life because
00:16:07.356 --> 00:16:09.725
Supersizing our life because we don't believe it will
00:16:09.792 --> 00:16:10.659
We don't believe it will happen.
00:16:10.726 --> 00:16:11.693
Happen. we let our circumstances,
00:16:11.760 --> 00:16:13.695
We let our circumstances, what we can see, what's
00:16:13.762 --> 00:16:15.097
What we can see, what's happened in the past, talk us
00:16:15.164 --> 00:16:16.899
Happened in the past, talk us out of it.
00:16:16.965 --> 00:16:18.133
Out of it. your mind may tell ya that,
00:16:18.200 --> 00:16:19.468
Your mind may tell ya that, "you've reached your limits.
00:16:19.535 --> 00:16:20.969
"you've reached your limits. you've gone as far as you can
00:16:21.036 --> 00:16:22.237
You've gone as far as you can go."
00:16:22.304 --> 00:16:23.038
Go." but if you'll listen down in
00:16:23.105 --> 00:16:24.473
But if you'll listen down in here, you'll hear another
00:16:24.540 --> 00:16:26.308
Here, you'll hear another voice sayin', "increase is
00:16:26.375 --> 00:16:28.043
Voice sayin', "increase is comin'.
00:16:28.110 --> 00:16:28.911
Comin'. favor is comin'.
00:16:28.977 --> 00:16:30.145
Favor is comin'. healing is comin'.
00:16:30.212 --> 00:16:31.313
Healing is comin'. promotion is coming."
00:16:31.380 --> 00:16:32.781
Promotion is coming." that's why, when you hear a
00:16:32.848 --> 00:16:34.383
That's why, when you hear a message like this, something
00:16:34.450 --> 00:16:36.418
Message like this, something comes alive on the inside.
00:16:36.485 --> 00:16:38.754
Comes alive on the inside. it's the seed that god put in
00:16:38.821 --> 00:16:40.722
It's the seed that god put in your spirit.
00:16:40.789 --> 00:16:41.390
Your spirit. and when you live with this
00:16:41.457 --> 00:16:43.192
And when you live with this expectancy, you go through
00:16:43.258 --> 00:16:45.394
Expectancy, you go through the day sayin', "god, i
00:16:45.461 --> 00:16:46.995
The day sayin', "god, i believe you can take me where
00:16:47.062 --> 00:16:48.630
Believe you can take me where i've never dreamed.
00:16:48.697 --> 00:16:49.998
I've never dreamed. i believe you can do what
00:16:50.065 --> 00:16:51.567
I believe you can do what medicine cannot do.
00:16:51.633 --> 00:16:53.068
Medicine cannot do. god, i believe you can
00:16:53.135 --> 00:16:54.403
God, i believe you can supersize my life."
00:16:54.470 --> 00:16:55.871
Supersize my life." and that's when you'll see
00:16:55.938 --> 00:16:57.506
And that's when you'll see the surpassing greatness of
00:16:57.573 --> 00:16:59.274
The surpassing greatness of god's favor.
00:16:59.341 --> 00:17:00.909
God's favor. luke chapter 1, an angel
00:17:00.976 --> 00:17:02.945
Luke chapter 1, an angel appeared to a teenage girl
00:17:03.011 --> 00:17:04.780
Appeared to a teenage girl named mary.
00:17:04.847 --> 00:17:06.081
Named mary. he told her that she was
00:17:06.148 --> 00:17:07.216
He told her that she was highly favored, and she was
00:17:07.282 --> 00:17:08.951
Highly favored, and she was going to have a baby without
00:17:09.017 --> 00:17:10.319
Going to have a baby without knowin' a man.
00:17:10.385 --> 00:17:11.753
Knowin' a man. mary was kind of taken aback.
00:17:11.820 --> 00:17:14.423
Mary was kind of taken aback. this seemed far out and
00:17:14.490 --> 00:17:15.691
This seemed far out and unusual.
00:17:15.757 --> 00:17:16.725
Unusual. it had never happened before.
00:17:16.792 --> 00:17:18.727
It had never happened before. she asked the angel, "how
00:17:18.794 --> 00:17:19.895
She asked the angel, "how could this be?"
00:17:19.962 --> 00:17:20.696
Could this be?" and he explained how the
00:17:20.762 --> 00:17:22.364
And he explained how the spirit of the lord would come
00:17:22.431 --> 00:17:23.699
Spirit of the lord would come on her and she would
00:17:23.765 --> 00:17:24.967
On her and she would conceive.
00:17:25.033 --> 00:17:26.268
Conceive. mary accepted it.
00:17:26.335 --> 00:17:27.603
Mary accepted it. she believed, but i'm sure
00:17:27.669 --> 00:17:29.471
She believed, but i'm sure there were times that she
00:17:29.538 --> 00:17:30.973
There were times that she started to doubt, thinkin',
00:17:31.039 --> 00:17:32.774
Started to doubt, thinkin', "is this really going to
00:17:32.841 --> 00:17:33.742
"is this really going to happen?
00:17:33.809 --> 00:17:34.643
Happen? this seems too good to be
00:17:34.710 --> 00:17:36.078
This seems too good to be true."
00:17:36.145 --> 00:17:37.312
True." see, mary didn't come from an
00:17:37.379 --> 00:17:38.847
See, mary didn't come from an influential family.
00:17:38.914 --> 00:17:40.682
Influential family. she wasn't wealthy.
00:17:40.749 --> 00:17:42.151
She wasn't wealthy. she didn't have an impressive
00:17:42.217 --> 00:17:43.385
She didn't have an impressive resume.
00:17:43.452 --> 00:17:44.286
Resume. she was a poor girl living in
00:17:44.353 --> 00:17:46.522
She was a poor girl living in a low-income neighborhood.
00:17:46.588 --> 00:17:47.990
A low-income neighborhood. and as she was doubting, a
00:17:48.056 --> 00:17:50.692
And as she was doubting, a little bit confused, the
00:17:50.759 --> 00:17:52.494
Little bit confused, the angel said to her in verse
00:17:52.561 --> 00:17:54.129
Angel said to her in verse 30: "'mary, don't be
00:17:54.196 --> 00:17:56.165
30: "'mary, don't be frightened.
00:17:56.231 --> 00:17:57.232
Frightened. god has decided to bless
00:17:57.299 --> 00:17:59.434
God has decided to bless you.'" and when you hear this
00:17:59.501 --> 00:18:01.570
You.'" and when you hear this promise, that god is going to
00:18:01.637 --> 00:18:03.639
Promise, that god is going to do exceedingly abundantly
00:18:03.705 --> 00:18:05.340
Do exceedingly abundantly above and beyond, that he's
00:18:05.407 --> 00:18:06.975
Above and beyond, that he's going to supersize your life,
00:18:07.042 --> 00:18:09.511
Going to supersize your life, in a way, it's like what mary
00:18:09.578 --> 00:18:11.780
In a way, it's like what mary heard.
00:18:11.847 --> 00:18:12.748
Heard. it seems far out, unusual.
00:18:12.814 --> 00:18:15.617
It seems far out, unusual. it's easy to think of all the
00:18:15.684 --> 00:18:17.019
It's easy to think of all the reasons why it's not going to
00:18:17.085 --> 00:18:18.554
Reasons why it's not going to happen.
00:18:18.620 --> 00:18:19.755
Happen. but if that angel were to
00:18:19.821 --> 00:18:21.190
But if that angel were to show up today, he would say
00:18:21.256 --> 00:18:23.158
Show up today, he would say the same thing to you that he
00:18:23.225 --> 00:18:25.027
The same thing to you that he said to mary: "god has
00:18:25.093 --> 00:18:26.962
Said to mary: "god has decided to bless you."
00:18:27.029 --> 00:18:28.497
Decided to bless you." and you may not see how it
00:18:28.564 --> 00:18:30.365
And you may not see how it can happen.
00:18:30.432 --> 00:18:31.567
Can happen. you may not think you deserve
00:18:31.633 --> 00:18:32.935
You may not think you deserve it.
00:18:33.001 --> 00:18:33.635
It. you've made too many
00:18:33.702 --> 00:18:34.369
You've made too many mistakes.
00:18:34.436 --> 00:18:35.304
Mistakes. you're too young.
00:18:35.370 --> 00:18:36.438
You're too young. you're too old.
00:18:36.505 --> 00:18:37.439
You're too old. you come from the wrong
00:18:37.506 --> 00:18:38.340
You come from the wrong family.
00:18:38.407 --> 00:18:39.208
Family. instead of dwelling on all
00:18:39.274 --> 00:18:40.909
Instead of dwelling on all that, why don't you say, by
00:18:40.976 --> 00:18:42.778
That, why don't you say, by faith, "god, i wanna thank
00:18:42.844 --> 00:18:45.414
Faith, "god, i wanna thank you that you've decided to
00:18:45.480 --> 00:18:47.115
You that you've decided to bless me.
00:18:47.182 --> 00:18:48.217
Bless me. lord, thank you that you've
00:18:48.283 --> 00:18:49.284
Lord, thank you that you've decided to be good to me."
00:18:49.351 --> 00:18:51.753
Decided to be good to me." see, it's one thing when we
00:18:51.820 --> 00:18:53.855
See, it's one thing when we decide we're going to take
00:18:53.922 --> 00:18:55.424
Decide we're going to take hold of god's promises.
00:18:55.490 --> 00:18:57.025
Hold of god's promises. we decide we're gonna live a
00:18:57.092 --> 00:18:58.460
We decide we're gonna live a blessed, abundant life.
00:18:58.527 --> 00:19:00.229
Blessed, abundant life. that's good.
00:19:00.295 --> 00:19:01.396
That's good. that's important.
00:19:01.463 --> 00:19:02.898
That's important. but when you realize the
00:19:02.965 --> 00:19:04.466
But when you realize the creator of the universe, the
00:19:04.533 --> 00:19:06.768
Creator of the universe, the god who spoke worlds into
00:19:06.835 --> 00:19:08.403
God who spoke worlds into existence, the god who flung
00:19:08.470 --> 00:19:10.239
Existence, the god who flung stars into space, he has
00:19:10.305 --> 00:19:12.307
Stars into space, he has decided to bless you.
00:19:12.374 --> 00:19:14.409
Decided to bless you. he has decided to forgive
00:19:14.476 --> 00:19:16.278
He has decided to forgive you.
00:19:16.345 --> 00:19:17.012
You. he has decided to favor you.
00:19:17.079 --> 00:19:20.282
He has decided to favor you. here's the key: god's idea of
00:19:20.349 --> 00:19:22.584
Here's the key: god's idea of blessing you is very
00:19:22.651 --> 00:19:24.219
Blessing you is very different than what you think
00:19:24.286 --> 00:19:25.621
Different than what you think bein' blessed is.
00:19:25.687 --> 00:19:26.922
Bein' blessed is. we think, "natural."
00:19:26.989 --> 00:19:28.523
We think, "natural." god thinks, "supernatural."
00:19:28.590 --> 00:19:30.659
God thinks, "supernatural." we think, "let me find
00:19:30.726 --> 00:19:31.827
We think, "let me find another farm to put these
00:19:31.893 --> 00:19:33.729
Another farm to put these grass clippings."
00:19:33.795 --> 00:19:34.963
Grass clippings." god thinks, "how 'bout i give
00:19:35.030 --> 00:19:36.531
God thinks, "how 'bout i give ya that farm and have them
00:19:36.598 --> 00:19:38.367
Ya that farm and have them pay you instead of you payin'
00:19:38.433 --> 00:19:39.835
Pay you instead of you payin' them?"
00:19:39.901 --> 00:19:41.036
Them?" we think, "handfuls on
00:19:41.103 --> 00:19:42.704
We think, "handfuls on purpose are a great
00:19:42.771 --> 00:19:43.905
Purpose are a great blessing," and they are.
00:19:43.972 --> 00:19:45.707
Blessing," and they are. but god thinks, "how 'bout i
00:19:45.774 --> 00:19:47.242
But god thinks, "how 'bout i give you the whole field so
00:19:47.309 --> 00:19:48.844
Give you the whole field so you own all the wheat to
00:19:48.910 --> 00:19:49.811
You own all the wheat to begin with?"
00:19:49.878 --> 00:19:51.313
Begin with?" we think practical terms,
00:19:51.380 --> 00:19:53.148
We think practical terms, signing a 60-year lease with
00:19:53.215 --> 00:19:55.417
Signing a 60-year lease with the city of houston for the
00:19:55.484 --> 00:19:56.752
The city of houston for the compaq center is pretty
00:19:56.818 --> 00:19:58.320
Compaq center is pretty amazing, and it is.
00:19:58.387 --> 00:20:00.289
Amazing, and it is. but god thinks, "how 'bout i
00:20:00.355 --> 00:20:01.990
But god thinks, "how 'bout i get rid of that lease so you
00:20:02.057 --> 00:20:03.759
Get rid of that lease so you could have the building for
00:20:03.825 --> 00:20:04.860
Could have the building for generations to come?"
00:20:04.926 --> 00:20:06.028
Generations to come?" like god did for us.
00:20:06.094 --> 00:20:09.364
Like god did for us. that's the runnin'-over god,
00:20:09.431 --> 00:20:12.067
That's the runnin'-over god, the more-than-enough god, the
00:20:12.134 --> 00:20:14.736
The more-than-enough god, the exceed-your-expectations god.
00:20:14.803 --> 00:20:16.071
Exceed-your-expectations god. a few days after the angel
00:20:16.138 --> 00:20:18.240
A few days after the angel appeared, mary went to see
00:20:18.307 --> 00:20:20.008

God decided to bless mary, but what activated the

But what activated the blessing, what allowed it to

00:20:44.599 --> 00:20:45.600
Qualified." she could've talked herself
00:20:45.667 --> 00:20:47.002
She could've talked herself out of what god had already
00:20:47.069 --> 00:20:49.204
Out of what god had already decided.
00:20:49.271 --> 00:20:49.871
Decided. and when god says he's going
00:20:49.938 --> 00:20:52.107
And when god says he's going to do exceedingly abundantly
00:20:52.174 --> 00:20:54.009
To do exceedingly abundantly above and beyond, when he
00:20:54.076 --> 00:20:56.011

Lord," when he says he's going to restore health back
00:21:00.882 --> 00:21:02.384
Going to restore health back into you, that means god has

Now, my challenge is don't talk yourself out of what god

Sounds good, but i'm 75 years old.
00:21:17.132 --> 00:21:17.766
Old. i still hadn't been
00:21:17.833 --> 00:21:18.433

00:21:18.500 --> 00:21:19.334
Supersized." there's still time for you.

There's still time for you. moses was 80 when he started
00:21:21.136 --> 00:21:23.839
Moses was 80 when he started to deliver the israelites.
00:21:23.905 --> 00:21:25.841
To deliver the israelites. he didn't see the red sea
00:21:25.907 --> 00:21:27.309
He didn't see the red sea part, those supernatural
00:21:27.376 --> 00:21:29.211
Part, those supernatural signs that god showed to
00:21:29.277 --> 00:21:30.512
Signs that god showed to pharaoh, until much later in
00:21:30.579 --> 00:21:32.848
Pharaoh, until much later in life.
00:21:32.914 --> 00:21:33.949

Hopes up. that way, if it doesn't
00:21:41.323 --> 00:21:42.023
That way, if it doesn't happen, i won't be
00:21:42.090 --> 00:21:42.891
Happen, i won't be disappointed."
00:21:42.958 --> 00:21:44.092
Disappointed." the problem with that
00:21:44.159 --> 00:21:45.060
The problem with that approach is if you don't get
00:21:45.127 --> 00:21:46.928
Approach is if you don't get your hopes up, you will be
00:21:46.995 --> 00:21:48.530
Your hopes up, you will be disappointed.
00:21:48.597 --> 00:21:49.664

Life. god has taken me from behind
00:21:56.838 --> 00:21:58.273
God has taken me from behind the scenes all those years,
00:21:58.340 --> 00:21:59.741
The scenes all those years, and brought gifts out of me
00:21:59.808 --> 00:22:01.443
And brought gifts out of me that i didn't know i had, and
00:22:01.510 --> 00:22:02.978

It wasn't because i have all this talent, experience,
00:22:11.186 --> 00:22:12.888
This talent, experience, ability.
00:22:12.954 --> 00:22:13.555
Ability. it's because i've done my
00:22:13.622 --> 00:22:15.524
It's because i've done my best to honor god, and i
00:22:15.590 --> 00:22:17.559
Best to honor god, and i dared to believe what god has
00:22:17.626 --> 00:22:19.861
Dared to believe what god has already decided for me.
00:22:19.928 --> 00:22:22.130
Already decided for me. when my dad went to be with
00:22:22.197 --> 00:22:23.231
When my dad went to be with the lord in 1999, i could
00:22:23.298 --> 00:22:25.634
The lord in 1999, i could hear god sayin', "joel, step

Hear god sayin', "joel, step up.
00:22:27.135 --> 00:22:27.736
Up. pastor the church."
00:22:27.803 --> 00:22:29.271
Pastor the church." i didn't think i could do it.
00:22:29.337 --> 00:22:30.972
I didn't think i could do it. every voice said, "you're
00:22:31.039 --> 00:22:32.073
Every voice said, "you're makin' a mistake."
00:22:32.140 --> 00:22:33.642
Makin' a mistake." but deep down, i knew that if
00:22:33.708 --> 00:22:35.977
But deep down, i knew that if god had decided it, i wasn't
00:22:36.044 --> 00:22:38.380
God had decided it, i wasn't going to go by what i felt,
00:22:38.447 --> 00:22:40.282
Going to go by what i felt, by what i saw, by what people
00:22:40.348 --> 00:22:42.017
By what i saw, by what people were tellin' me.
00:22:42.083 --> 00:22:42.984
Were tellin' me. i simply chose to get in
00:22:43.051 --> 00:22:44.820

00:22:44.886 --> 00:22:46.221
Agreement with god, to believe what he had already
00:22:46.288 --> 00:22:47.689
