  • Goals we want to accomplish. we know god's put it in our
  • 00:01:23.006 --> 00:01:24.174
  • We know god's put it in our heart, to start a business,
  • 00:01:24.240 --> 00:01:26.009
  • Heart, to start a business, to build that orphanage, to

  • 00:01:34.951 --> 00:01:36.286
  • The influence. it seems like we're limited. but
  • 00:01:36.352 --> 00:01:37.987
  • Like we're limited. but the scripture says, "the

  • The scripture says, "the wealth of the ungodly is
  • 00:01:39.389 --> 00:01:41.591
  • Wealth of the ungodly is laid up for the righteous."
  • 00:01:41.658 --> 00:01:43.893
  • Laid up for the righteous." one version says, "it will

  • On your own. what's in your heart is too big for
  • 00:01:53.036 --> 00:01:54.571
  • Your heart is too big for your bank account. you have

  • Your bank account. you have the vision, you want to
  • 00:01:56.506 --> 00:01:57.974
  • The vision, you want to leave your family better,
  • 00:01:58.041 --> 00:01:59.642
  • Leave your family better, but you don't have the
  • 00:01:59.709 --> 00:02:00.276
  • But you don't have the position. the good news
  • 00:02:00.343 --> 00:02:02.245
  • Position. the good news is a transfer is coming.

  • Is a transfer is coming. god doesn't give you the
  • 00:02:05.014 --> 00:02:06.115
  • God doesn't give you the vision without having

  • Vision without having provision. he's already
  • 00:02:07.717 --> 00:02:09.752
  • Provision. he's already lined up these transfers,
  • 00:02:09.819 --> 00:02:11.588
  • Lined up these transfers, good breaks, promotion,
  • 00:02:11.654 --> 00:02:13.556
  • Good breaks, promotion, divine connections.
  • 00:02:13.623 --> 00:02:15.592
  • Divine connections. because you're the
  • 00:02:15.658 --> 00:02:16.326

  • Using their resources in a positive way.
  • 00:02:28.605 --> 00:02:30.173
  • Positive way. they're not using their
  • 00:02:30.240 --> 00:02:31.040
  • They're not using their influence, their means to
  • 00:02:31.107 --> 00:02:33.243
  • Influence, their means to help mankind.
  • 00:02:33.309 --> 00:02:34.844
  • Help mankind. they're only focused on
  • 00:02:34.911 --> 00:02:35.912
  • They're only focused on themselves, and he's going
  • 00:02:35.979 --> 00:02:37.747
  • Themselves, and he's going to transfer that into your
  • 00:02:37.814 --> 00:02:39.415
  • To transfer that into your hands. it's going to be
  • 00:02:39.482 --> 00:02:41.217
  • Hands. it's going to be out of the ordinary, where
  • 00:02:41.284 --> 00:02:42.885
  • Out of the ordinary, where you have the means to
  • 00:02:42.952 --> 00:02:44.287
  • You have the means to accomplish things you
  • 00:02:44.354 --> 00:02:45.555

  • Never dreamed. you can leave an inheritance,
  • 00:02:47.390 --> 00:02:48.658
  • Leave an inheritance, like the scripture says to

  • Key, you don't have to chase the blessing, chase

  • Chase the blessing, chase after god, and the blessing
  • 00:03:02.905 --> 00:03:04.841
  • After god, and the blessing will chase you.
  • 00:03:04.907 --> 00:03:06.276
  • Will chase you. these transfers will track
  • 00:03:06.342 --> 00:03:08.244
  • These transfers will track you down.
  • 00:03:08.311 --> 00:03:09.679
  • You down. the scripture says, when
  • 00:03:09.746 --> 00:03:10.813
  • The scripture says, when you honor god, his
  • 00:03:10.880 --> 00:03:12.081
  • You honor god, his blessings will overtake you.
  • 00:03:12.148 --> 00:03:14.450
  • Blessings will overtake you. one version says, "they
  • 00:03:14.517 --> 00:03:15.685
  • One version says, "they will catch you by surprise."
  • 00:03:15.752 --> 00:03:17.720
  • Will catch you by surprise." you didn't see it coming.
  • 00:03:17.787 --> 00:03:19.522
  • You didn't see it coming. you never dreamed you could
  • 00:03:19.589 --> 00:03:20.923
  • You never dreamed you could pay your house off.
  • 00:03:20.990 --> 00:03:22.392
  • Pay your house off. you thought it would take
  • 00:03:22.458 --> 00:03:23.326
  • You thought it would take thirty years, but then
  • 00:03:23.393 --> 00:03:24.761
  • Thirty years, but then suddenly a transfer, god
  • 00:03:24.827 --> 00:03:27.196
  • Suddenly a transfer, god favors you, a promotion,
  • 00:03:27.263 --> 00:03:29.432
  • Favors you, a promotion, an inheritance, a business
  • 00:03:29.499 --> 00:03:31.000
  • An inheritance, a business opportunity.
  • 00:03:31.067 --> 00:03:32.435
  • Opportunity. you never dreamed you would
  • 00:03:32.502 --> 00:03:33.469
  • You never dreamed you would be running that department.
  • 00:03:33.536 --> 00:03:35.204
  • Be running that department. you thought you were stuck
  • 00:03:35.271 --> 00:03:36.072
  • You thought you were stuck in the background.
  • 00:03:36.139 --> 00:03:37.573
  • In the background. you never dreamed you could
  • 00:03:37.640 --> 00:03:38.641
  • You never dreamed you could send your children to
  • 00:03:38.708 --> 00:03:39.509
  • Send your children to college. you thought you
  • 00:03:39.575 --> 00:03:40.910
  • College. you thought you were limited. what
  • 00:03:40.977 --> 00:03:42.245
  • Were limited. what happened? you came into
  • 00:03:42.312 --> 00:03:43.913
  • Happened? you came into a transfer. god suddenly
  • 00:03:43.980 --> 00:03:46.282
  • A transfer. god suddenly shifted things. you went
  • 00:03:46.349 --> 00:03:48.084
  • Shifted things. you went from the back to the front,
  • 00:03:48.151 --> 00:03:49.852
  • From the back to the front, this transfer is not just
  • 00:03:49.919 --> 00:03:51.454
  • This transfer is not just material things but it's
  • 00:03:51.521 --> 00:03:53.122
  • Material things but it's influence.
  • 00:03:53.189 --> 00:03:54.257
  • Influence. it's honor, prestige, where
  • 00:03:54.324 --> 00:03:56.726
  • It's honor, prestige, where people see you in a new
  • 00:03:56.793 --> 00:03:57.927
  • People see you in a new light.
  • 00:03:57.994 --> 00:03:58.995
  • Light. they looked down on you,
  • 00:03:59.062 --> 00:04:00.563
  • They looked down on you, didn't give you credit,
  • 00:04:00.630 --> 00:04:02.098
  • Didn't give you credit, wouldn't take your ideas.
  • 00:04:02.165 --> 00:04:03.933
  • Wouldn't take your ideas. you keep doing the right
  • 00:04:04.000 --> 00:04:05.001
  • You keep doing the right thing, you keep being your
  • 00:04:05.068 --> 00:04:06.536
  • Thing, you keep being your best where you are.
  • 00:04:06.602 --> 00:04:08.171
  • Best where you are. they don't control your
  • 00:04:08.237 --> 00:04:09.205
  • They don't control your destiny.
  • 00:04:09.272 --> 00:04:10.606
  • Destiny. they may discount you now,
  • 00:04:10.673 --> 00:04:12.408
  • They may discount you now, but a transfer is coming.
  • 00:04:12.475 --> 00:04:14.644
  • But a transfer is coming. there will be a day where
  • 00:04:14.711 --> 00:04:15.912
  • There will be a day where the roles reversed.
  • 00:04:15.978 --> 00:04:17.747
  • The roles reversed. they have the upper hand
  • 00:04:17.814 --> 00:04:18.848
  • They have the upper hand now, but when the transfer
  • 00:04:18.915 --> 00:04:20.450
  • Now, but when the transfer happens, you'll be in a
  • 00:04:20.516 --> 00:04:22.085
  • Happens, you'll be in a position of honor,
  • 00:04:22.151 --> 00:04:23.419
  • Position of honor, influence, prestige.
  • 00:04:23.486 --> 00:04:24.554
  • Influence, prestige. we see these transfers all
  • 00:04:24.620 --> 00:04:27.290
  • We see these transfers all through the scripture.
  • 00:04:27.357 --> 00:04:28.858
  • Through the scripture. egypt was one of the
  • 00:04:28.925 --> 00:04:29.892
  • Egypt was one of the greatest superpowers of
  • 00:04:29.959 --> 00:04:31.494
  • Greatest superpowers of that day.
  • 00:04:31.561 --> 00:04:32.628
  • That day. they had more wealth and
  • 00:04:32.695 --> 00:04:33.896
  • They had more wealth and affluence than any other
  • 00:04:33.963 --> 00:04:35.298
  • Affluence than any other country.
  • 00:04:35.365 --> 00:04:36.532
  • Country. when god delivered the
  • 00:04:36.599 --> 00:04:37.734
  • When god delivered the israelites out of slavery,
  • 00:04:37.800 --> 00:04:39.802
  • Israelites out of slavery, as they were leaving egypt,
  • 00:04:39.869 --> 00:04:41.771
  • As they were leaving egypt, the scripture says.
  • 00:04:41.838 --> 00:04:42.739
  • The scripture says. "the egyptians gave them
