- Damage, mudslides, flash flooding, people having to
- 00:01:42.792 --> 00:01:44.227
- Flooding, people having to evacuate. they would get
- 00:01:44.294 --> 00:01:46.196
- Evacuate. they would get through one big storm, two
- 00:01:46.262 --> 00:01:48.131

- Looked like a postcard. they call it a super bloom.
- 00:02:09.352 --> 00:02:11.754
- Call it a super bloom. because of the
- 00:02:11.821 --> 00:02:12.589
- Because of the record-breaking rainfall,
- 00:02:12.655 --> 00:02:14.324
- Record-breaking rainfall, seeds that had been dormant
- 00:02:14.390 --> 00:02:15.959
- Seeds that had been dormant for years began to blossom.
- 00:02:16.025 --> 00:02:18.828
- For years began to blossom. we were driving and we pulled
- 00:02:18.895 --> 00:02:20.396
- We were driving and we pulled over to look. the whole
- 00:02:20.463 --> 00:02:22.031
- Over to look. the whole mountainside was filled with
- 00:02:22.098 --> 00:02:23.800
- Mountainside was filled with bright yellow flowers, pinks
- 00:02:23.866 --> 00:02:26.135
- Bright yellow flowers, pinks and purples, like something
- 00:02:26.202 --> 00:02:27.770
- And purples, like something you've never seen. it was so
- 00:02:27.837 --> 00:02:28.738
- You've never seen. it was so distinct, they could see it
- 00:02:28.805 --> 00:02:29.405
- Distinct, they could see it on satellite images from
- 00:02:29.472 --> 00:02:30.039
- On satellite images from space. all the rain caused
- 00:02:30.106 --> 00:02:30.707
- Space. all the rain caused trouble, hardship, but
- 00:02:30.773 --> 00:02:32.675
- Trouble, hardship, but without that excessive rain
- 00:02:32.742 --> 00:02:34.811
- Without that excessive rain there would have never been a
- 00:02:34.877 --> 00:02:35.979
- There would have never been a super bloom.
- 00:02:36.045 --> 00:02:37.513
- Super bloom. it's the same principle in
- 00:02:37.580 --> 00:02:38.648
- It's the same principle in life. we all have rain,
- 00:02:38.715 --> 00:02:41.217

- Thing after another. trouble at work, we go through a
- 00:02:46.623 --> 00:02:48.091
- At work, we go through a loss, a child is off course,
- 00:02:48.157 --> 00:02:50.293
- Loss, a child is off course, we're dealing with a health
- 00:02:50.360 --> 00:02:51.494
- We're dealing with a health issue. thoughts will tell
- 00:02:51.561 --> 00:02:53.096
- Issue. thoughts will tell you, “this is the way it's
- 00:02:53.162 --> 00:02:54.197
- You, “this is the way it's always going to be. you'll

- That you could have never seen without the rain. we
- 00:03:11.547 --> 00:03:14.150
- Seen without the rain. we don't like the rain. it's
- 00:03:14.217 --> 00:03:15.685

- Uncomfortable. they walked away, the contract fell
- 00:03:17.654 --> 00:03:19.522
- Away, the contract fell through, but the rain is
- 00:03:19.589 --> 00:03:21.291
- Through, but the rain is necessary. there are seeds in
- 00:03:21.357 --> 00:03:23.760
- Necessary. there are seeds in you that will only open up by
- 00:03:23.826 --> 00:03:26.162
- You that will only open up by going through excessive rain.
- 00:03:26.229 --> 00:03:28.398
- Going through excessive rain. the rain seems like a setback
- 00:03:28.464 --> 00:03:30.400
- The rain seems like a setback but really, it's setting you
- 00:03:30.466 --> 00:03:31.734
- But really, it's setting you up for greater levels. on the
- 00:03:31.801 --> 00:03:34.070
- Up for greater levels. on the other side of that difficulty
- 00:03:34.137 --> 00:03:36.072

- 00:05:22.111 --> 00:05:23.880
- Didn't build, vineyards that you didn't plant. that's
- 00:05:23.946 --> 00:05:25.281
- You didn't plant. that's those blessings that your
- 00:05:25.348 --> 00:05:26.449
- Those blessings that your loved ones prayed for, but
- 00:05:26.516 --> 00:05:28.017
- Loved ones prayed for, but they never saw. generational
- 00:05:28.084 --> 00:05:29.752
- They never saw. generational blessings. you're going to
- 00:05:29.819 --> 00:05:31.721
- Blessings. you're going to bloom in ways you've never
- 00:05:31.788 --> 00:05:33.256
- Bloom in ways you've never imagined. the medical report
- 00:05:33.322 --> 00:05:35.291
- Imagined. the medical report said you wouldn't get well
- 00:05:35.358 --> 00:05:36.592
- Said you wouldn't get well but look at you now; you're
- 00:05:36.659 --> 00:05:37.760
- But look at you now; you're healthy and whole. it looked
- 00:05:37.827 --> 00:05:39.829
- Healthy and whole. it looked like you'd always struggle,
- 00:05:39.896 --> 00:05:41.397
- Like you'd always struggle, then one good break, one
- 00:05:41.464 --> 00:05:43.166
- Then one good break, one contract, one opportunity,
- 00:05:43.232 --> 00:05:45.034
- Contract, one opportunity, and you have overflow,
- 00:05:45.101 --> 00:05:46.335
- And you have overflow, abundance. or maybe you
- 00:05:46.402 --> 00:05:48.571
- Abundance. or maybe you thought it was too late to
- 00:05:48.638 --> 00:05:49.639
- Thought it was too late to accomplish your dream, to
- 00:05:49.705 --> 00:05:51.474
- Accomplish your dream, to write the book, start the
- 00:05:51.541 --> 00:05:52.842
- Write the book, start the business, to build the house,
- 00:05:52.909 --> 00:05:55.044
- Business, to build the house, then things started falling
- 00:05:55.111 --> 00:05:56.312
- Then things started falling into place, new doors opened,
- 00:05:56.379 --> 00:05:58.881
- Into place, new doors opened, the right people showed up,
- 00:05:58.948 --> 00:06:00.349
- The right people showed up, supernatural provision. what
- 00:06:00.416 --> 00:06:02.518
- Supernatural provision. what happened? you came into a
- 00:06:02.585 --> 00:06:04.287
- Happened? you came into a super bloom. the rain stopped
- 00:06:04.353 --> 00:06:07.123
- Super bloom. the rain stopped and the seeds came to life.
- 00:06:07.190 --> 00:06:09.125
- And the seeds came to life. you blossomed. you saw levels
- 00:06:09.192 --> 00:06:11.694
- You blossomed. you saw levels you would have never seen
- 00:06:11.761 --> 00:06:13.196
- You would have never seen without the excessive rain.
- 00:06:13.262 --> 00:06:15.832
- Without the excessive rain. one expert talked about how
- 00:06:15.898 --> 00:06:17.567
- One expert talked about how in order to have a super
- 00:06:17.633 --> 00:06:19.202
- In order to have a super bloom, the conditions had to
- 00:06:19.268 --> 00:06:20.970
- Bloom, the conditions had to be just right. what's
- 00:06:21.037 --> 00:06:22.805
- Be just right. what's interesting is california had
- 00:06:22.872 --> 00:06:25.107
- Interesting is california had been in one of the top three
- 00:06:25.174 --> 00:06:26.676
- Been in one of the top three droughts in their history.
- 00:06:26.742 --> 00:06:29.011
- Droughts in their history. people had to conserve water,
- 00:06:29.078 --> 00:06:31.280
- People had to conserve water, not run their sprinklers. it
- 00:06:31.347 --> 00:06:32.882
- Not run their sprinklers. it was inconvenient, a hardship.
- 00:06:32.949 --> 00:06:35.918
- Was inconvenient, a hardship. but during the drought,
- 00:06:35.985 --> 00:06:36.953
- But during the drought, something unusual was
- 00:06:37.019 --> 00:06:38.120
- Something unusual was happening. most of the weeds
- 00:06:38.187 --> 00:06:40.590
- Happening. most of the weeds and grass that normally
- 00:06:40.656 --> 00:06:41.958
- And grass that normally filled the mountain sides had
- 00:06:42.024 --> 00:06:43.926
- Filled the mountain sides had died off. that made room for
- 00:06:43.993 --> 00:06:46.496
- Died off. that made room for these flower seeds that were
- 00:06:46.562 --> 00:06:48.364
- These flower seeds that were buried deeper underground to
- 00:06:48.431 --> 00:06:50.399
- Buried deeper underground to receive the water and come to
- 00:06:50.466 --> 00:06:52.001
- Receive the water and come to life. had there not been a
- 00:06:52.068 --> 00:06:54.070
- Life. had there not been a drought, but just the
- 00:06:54.136 --> 00:06:55.771
- Drought, but just the excessive rain, these flower
- 00:06:55.838 --> 00:06:58.007
- Excessive rain, these flower seeds wouldn't have
- 00:06:58.074 --> 00:06:59.075
- Seeds wouldn't have germinated. the perfect
- 00:06:59.141 --> 00:07:01.310
- Germinated. the perfect conditions for a super bloom
- 00:07:01.377 --> 00:07:03.813
- Conditions for a super bloom was a dry season followed by
- 00:07:03.880 --> 00:07:06.048
- Was a dry season followed by excessive rain. god was
- 00:07:06.115 --> 00:07:08.618
- Excessive rain. god was showing us a principle. many
- 00:07:08.684 --> 00:07:10.853
- Showing us a principle. many times, before our super
- 00:07:10.920 --> 00:07:12.121
- Times, before our super bloom, there's a dry season.
- 00:07:12.188 --> 00:07:14.757
- Bloom, there's a dry season. a drought, nothing good is
- 00:07:14.824 --> 00:07:16.692
- A drought, nothing good is happening, no favor, no
- 00:07:16.759 --> 00:07:18.494
- Happening, no favor, no promotion, things are slow.
- 00:07:18.561 --> 00:07:20.963
- Promotion, things are slow. it's tempting to quit
- 00:07:21.030 --> 00:07:21.797
- It's tempting to quit believing, “god where are
- 00:07:21.864 --> 00:07:22.999
- Believing, “god where are you, why is this not
- 00:07:23.065 --> 00:07:24.534
- You, why is this not changing.” god has not
- 00:07:24.600 --> 00:07:26.402
- Changing.” god has not forgotten about you. the
- 00:07:26.469 --> 00:07:28.237
- Forgotten about you. the drought is all a part of his
- 00:07:28.304 --> 00:07:29.805
- Drought is all a part of his plan. it's making room for
- 00:07:29.872 --> 00:07:32.074
- Plan. it's making room for the new things he's about to
- 00:07:32.141 --> 00:07:33.442
- The new things he's about to do.
- 00:07:33.509 --> 00:07:34.844
- Do. you would think the perfect
- 00:07:34.911 --> 00:07:36.479
- You would think the perfect conditions for a super bloom
- 00:07:36.546 --> 00:07:37.947
- Conditions for a super bloom would be good weather,
- 00:07:38.014 --> 00:07:39.615
- Would be good weather, sunshine, the right amount of
- 00:07:39.682 --> 00:07:41.517
- Sunshine, the right amount of water, the right amount of
- 00:07:41.584 --> 00:07:42.885
- Water, the right amount of fertilizer. it's just the
- 00:07:42.952 --> 00:07:44.353
- Fertilizer. it's just the opposite. to have a super
- 00:07:44.420 --> 00:07:46.522
- Opposite. to have a super bloom you have to have a
- 00:07:46.589 --> 00:07:48.124
- Bloom you have to have a drought followed by excessive
- 00:07:48.190 --> 00:07:50.326
- Drought followed by excessive rain. a drought is bad
- 00:07:50.393 --> 00:07:52.495
- Rain. a drought is bad enough, “this is slow, i feel
- 00:07:52.562 --> 00:07:55.431
- Enough, “this is slow, i feel stuck in my career, nothings
- 00:07:55.498 --> 00:07:57.433
- Stuck in my career, nothings changing in my health, my
- 00:07:57.500 --> 00:07:58.968
- Changing in my health, my child is still off course.”
- 00:07:59.035 --> 00:08:01.237
- Child is still off course.” if the drought doesn't
- 00:08:01.304 --> 00:08:02.338
- If the drought doesn't discourage us, then here
- 00:08:02.405 --> 00:08:03.873
- Discourage us, then here comes the excessive rain.
- 00:08:03.940 --> 00:08:05.841
- Comes the excessive rain. trouble at work, a pandemic
- 00:08:05.908 --> 00:08:08.044
- Trouble at work, a pandemic hits, a friend turned on you,
- 00:08:08.110 --> 00:08:10.046
- Hits, a friend turned on you, you lost a loved one. when it
- 00:08:10.112 --> 00:08:11.681
- You lost a loved one. when it rains it pours. but when you
- 00:08:11.747 --> 00:08:14.083
- Rains it pours. but when you understand how god works,
- 00:08:14.150 --> 00:08:16.319
- Understand how god works, that the dry season, the
- 00:08:16.385 --> 00:08:18.187
- That the dry season, the excessive rain, that's all
- 00:08:18.254 --> 00:08:20.256
- Excessive rain, that's all leading to a super bloom.
- 00:08:20.323 --> 00:08:22.391
- Leading to a super bloom. that's how those seeds of
- 00:08:22.458 --> 00:08:23.693
- That's how those seeds of increase, seeds of abundance,
- 00:08:23.759 --> 00:08:26.128
- Increase, seeds of abundance, seeds of new levels are going
- 00:08:26.195 --> 00:08:27.730
- Seeds of new levels are going to take root. the drought is
- 00:08:27.797 --> 00:08:30.099
- To take root. the drought is not permanent. the excessive
- 00:08:30.166 --> 00:08:32.335
- Not permanent. the excessive rain may feel like it's going
- 00:08:32.401 --> 00:08:33.869
- Rain may feel like it's going to flood you. like you're
- 00:08:33.936 --> 00:08:35.471
- To flood you. like you're going to go under, but god
- 00:08:35.538 --> 00:08:37.440
- Going to go under, but god has you in the palm of his
- 00:08:37.506 --> 00:08:38.774
- Has you in the palm of his hand. he said, “you'll go
- 00:08:38.841 --> 00:08:40.710
- Hand. he said, “you'll go through the floods and not be
- 00:08:40.776 --> 00:08:42.478
- Through the floods and not be drowned.” you'll go through
- 00:08:42.545 --> 00:08:44.246
- Drowned.” you'll go through the dry seasons and not be
- 00:08:44.313 --> 00:08:45.881
- The dry seasons and not be harmed. it may seem odd, but
- 00:08:45.948 --> 00:08:48.718
- Harmed. it may seem odd, but that's the perfect condition
- 00:08:48.784 --> 00:08:50.453
- That's the perfect condition for a super bloom. the dry
- 00:08:50.519 --> 00:08:52.521
- For a super bloom. the dry season, the excessive rain,
- 00:08:52.588 --> 00:08:54.724
- Season, the excessive rain, it's not setting you back,
- 00:08:54.790 --> 00:08:56.459
- It's not setting you back, it's setting you up to
- 00:08:56.525 --> 00:08:57.493
- It's setting you up to flourish, to blossom, to see
- 00:08:57.560 --> 00:09:00.162
- Flourish, to blossom, to see greater favor, greater joy,
- 00:09:00.229 --> 00:09:02.765
- Greater favor, greater joy, greater resources, greater
- 00:09:02.832 --> 00:09:04.066
- Greater resources, greater influence.
- 00:09:04.133 --> 00:09:05.568
- Influence. now the key is what kind of
- 00:09:05.635 --> 00:09:07.269
- Now the key is what kind of attitude do we have in the
- 00:09:07.336 --> 00:09:08.838
- Attitude do we have in the dry seasons. when it's slow,
- 00:09:08.904 --> 00:09:11.407
- Dry seasons. when it's slow, we're not seeing any
- 00:09:11.474 --> 00:09:12.475
- We're not seeing any progress. in the excessive
- 00:09:12.541 --> 00:09:14.877
- Progress. in the excessive rain. you get through one
- 00:09:14.944 --> 00:09:16.679
- Rain. you get through one struggle and something else
- 00:09:16.746 --> 00:09:18.147
- Struggle and something else hits. it's easy to complain,
- 00:09:18.214 --> 00:09:20.916
- Hits. it's easy to complain, get bitter, “god it's not
- 00:09:20.983 --> 00:09:22.118
- Get bitter, “god it's not fair.” you have to dig down
- 00:09:22.184 --> 00:09:24.153
- Fair.” you have to dig down deep and say, “god, i trust
- 00:09:24.220 --> 00:09:26.088
- Deep and say, “god, i trust you. i know you wouldn't have
- 00:09:26.155 --> 00:09:28.090
- You. i know you wouldn't have allowed this if it wasn't
- 00:09:28.157 --> 00:09:29.692
- Allowed this if it wasn't working for me. yes, i'm in a
- 00:09:29.759 --> 00:09:31.927
- Working for me. yes, i'm in a drought, yes, i have these
- 00:09:31.994 --> 00:09:33.396
- Drought, yes, i have these challenges, but i believe a
- 00:09:33.462 --> 00:09:35.364
- Challenges, but i believe a super bloom is coming. that i
- 00:09:35.431 --> 00:09:37.333
- Super bloom is coming. that i will blossom in my health,
- 00:09:37.400 --> 00:09:39.001
- Will blossom in my health, blossom in my finances,
- 00:09:39.068 --> 00:09:40.636
- Blossom in my finances, blossom in my relationships.”
- 00:09:40.703 --> 00:09:43.639
- Blossom in my relationships.” this is what happened with
- 00:09:43.706 --> 00:09:44.607
- This is what happened with joseph. god put a dream in
- 00:09:44.674 --> 00:09:46.609
- Joseph. god put a dream in his heart that he was going
- 00:09:46.676 --> 00:09:47.910
- His heart that he was going to be in leadership and do
- 00:09:47.977 --> 00:09:49.445
- To be in leadership and do great things. that seed was
- 00:09:49.512 --> 00:09:51.514
- Great things. that seed was planted, but it didn't come
- 00:09:51.580 --> 00:09:53.149
- Planted, but it didn't come to pass without opposition.
- 00:09:53.215 --> 00:09:55.484
- To pass without opposition. you can't reach the fullness
- 00:09:55.551 --> 00:09:57.019
- You can't reach the fullness of your potential without
- 00:09:57.086 --> 00:09:58.587
- Of your potential without delays, setbacks, people that
- 00:09:58.654 --> 00:10:01.257
- Delays, setbacks, people that turn on you. the apostle paul
- 00:10:01.323 --> 00:10:03.559
- Turn on you. the apostle paul said, “a wide door of
- 00:10:03.626 --> 00:10:05.327
- Said, “a wide door of opportunity is open and there
- 00:10:05.394 --> 00:10:07.563
- Opportunity is open and there are many adversaries.” it
- 00:10:07.630 --> 00:10:09.365
- Are many adversaries.” it would be much easier if god
- 00:10:09.432 --> 00:10:11.367
- Would be much easier if god gave us the dream and then
- 00:10:11.434 --> 00:10:12.802
- Gave us the dream and then just brought it to pass, made
- 00:10:12.868 --> 00:10:14.603
- Just brought it to pass, made everything easy. but we would
- 00:10:14.670 --> 00:10:16.639
- Everything easy. but we would never grow, we would never
- 00:10:16.706 --> 00:10:18.808
- Never grow, we would never develop our spiritual muscles
- 00:10:18.874 --> 00:10:20.476
- Develop our spiritual muscles and we'd never learn to
- 00:10:20.543 --> 00:10:22.078
- And we'd never learn to really trust him. in the
- 00:10:22.144 --> 00:10:24.346
- Really trust him. in the difficult times is where you
- 00:10:24.413 --> 00:10:26.115
- Difficult times is where you show god what you're made of.
- 00:10:26.182 --> 00:10:28.517
- Show god what you're made of. that's where you prove that
- 00:10:28.584 --> 00:10:29.752
- That's where you prove that you can handle the blessing,
- 00:10:29.819 --> 00:10:31.520
- You can handle the blessing, handle the favor. that you're
- 00:10:31.587 --> 00:10:33.322
- Handle the favor. that you're not going to let
- 00:10:33.389 --> 00:10:33.989
- Not going to let disappointments, bad breaks,
- 00:10:34.056 --> 00:10:36.192
- Disappointments, bad breaks, people that come against you,
- 00:10:36.258 --> 00:10:38.127
- People that come against you, convince you to live bitter,
- 00:10:38.194 --> 00:10:39.962
- Convince you to live bitter, give up on those dreams.
- 00:10:40.029 --> 00:10:42.164
- Give up on those dreams. joseph's brothers were
- 00:10:42.231 --> 00:10:43.165
- Joseph's brothers were jealous of him, and they
- 00:10:43.232 --> 00:10:44.400
- Jealous of him, and they threw him into a pit.
- 00:10:44.467 --> 00:10:46.035
- Threw him into a pit. eventually they sold him as a
- 00:10:46.102 --> 00:10:47.603
- Eventually they sold him as a slave. his whole world was
- 00:10:47.670 --> 00:10:49.805
- Slave. his whole world was turned upside down. he went
- 00:10:49.872 --> 00:10:51.574
- Turned upside down. he went from having this exciting
- 00:10:51.640 --> 00:10:52.808
