- Damage, mudslides, flash flooding, people having to
- 00:01:43.782 --> 00:01:45.217
- Flooding, people having to evacuate. they would get
- 00:01:45.284 --> 00:01:47.186
- Evacuate. they would get through one big storm, two
- 00:01:47.252 --> 00:01:49.121

- Looked like a postcard. they call it a super bloom.
- 00:02:10.342 --> 00:02:12.744
- Call it a super bloom. because of the
- 00:02:12.811 --> 00:02:13.579
- Because of the record-breaking rainfall,
- 00:02:13.645 --> 00:02:15.314
- Record-breaking rainfall, seeds that had been dormant
- 00:02:15.380 --> 00:02:16.949
- Seeds that had been dormant for years began to blossom.
- 00:02:17.015 --> 00:02:19.818
- For years began to blossom. we were driving and we pulled
- 00:02:19.885 --> 00:02:21.386
- We were driving and we pulled over to look. the whole
- 00:02:21.453 --> 00:02:23.021
- Over to look. the whole mountainside was filled with
- 00:02:23.088 --> 00:02:24.790
- Mountainside was filled with bright yellow flowers, pinks
- 00:02:24.856 --> 00:02:27.125
- Bright yellow flowers, pinks and purples, like something
- 00:02:27.192 --> 00:02:28.760
- And purples, like something you've never seen. it was so
- 00:02:28.827 --> 00:02:29.728
- You've never seen. it was so distinct, they could see it
- 00:02:29.795 --> 00:02:30.395
- Distinct, they could see it on satellite images from
- 00:02:30.462 --> 00:02:31.029
- On satellite images from space. all the rain caused
- 00:02:31.096 --> 00:02:31.697
- Space. all the rain caused trouble, hardship, but
- 00:02:31.763 --> 00:02:33.665
- Trouble, hardship, but without that excessive rain
- 00:02:33.732 --> 00:02:35.801
- Without that excessive rain there would have never been a
- 00:02:35.867 --> 00:02:36.969
- There would have never been a super bloom.
- 00:02:37.035 --> 00:02:38.503
- Super bloom. it's the same principle in
- 00:02:38.570 --> 00:02:39.638
- It's the same principle in life. we all have rain,
- 00:02:39.705 --> 00:02:42.207

- Thing after another. trouble at work, we go through a
- 00:02:47.613 --> 00:02:49.081
- At work, we go through a loss, a child is off course,
- 00:02:49.147 --> 00:02:51.283
- Loss, a child is off course, we're dealing with a health
- 00:02:51.350 --> 00:02:52.484
- We're dealing with a health issue. thoughts will tell
- 00:02:52.551 --> 00:02:54.086
- Issue. thoughts will tell you, “this is the way it's
- 00:02:54.152 --> 00:02:55.187
- You, “this is the way it's always going to be. you'll

- That you could have never seen without the rain. we
- 00:03:12.537 --> 00:03:15.140
- Seen without the rain. we don't like the rain. it's
- 00:03:15.207 --> 00:03:16.675

- Uncomfortable. they walked away, the contract fell
- 00:03:18.644 --> 00:03:20.512
- Away, the contract fell through, but the rain is
- 00:03:20.579 --> 00:03:22.281
- Through, but the rain is necessary. there are seeds in
- 00:03:22.347 --> 00:03:24.750
- Necessary. there are seeds in you that will only open up by
- 00:03:24.816 --> 00:03:27.152
- You that will only open up by going through excessive rain.
- 00:03:27.219 --> 00:03:29.388
- Going through excessive rain. the rain seems like a setback
- 00:03:29.454 --> 00:03:31.390
- The rain seems like a setback but really, it's setting you
- 00:03:31.456 --> 00:03:32.724
- But really, it's setting you up for greater levels. on the
- 00:03:32.791 --> 00:03:35.060
- Up for greater levels. on the other side of that difficulty
- 00:03:35.127 --> 00:03:37.062

- 00:05:23.101 --> 00:05:24.870
- Didn't build, vineyards that you didn't plant. that's
- 00:05:24.936 --> 00:05:26.271
- You didn't plant. that's those blessings that your
- 00:05:26.338 --> 00:05:27.439
- Those blessings that your loved ones prayed for, but
- 00:05:27.506 --> 00:05:29.007
- Loved ones prayed for, but they never saw. generational
- 00:05:29.074 --> 00:05:30.742
- They never saw. generational blessings. you're going to
- 00:05:30.809 --> 00:05:32.711
- Blessings. you're going to bloom in ways you've never
- 00:05:32.778 --> 00:05:34.246
- Bloom in ways you've never imagined. the medical report
- 00:05:34.312 --> 00:05:36.281
- Imagined. the medical report said you wouldn't get well
- 00:05:36.348 --> 00:05:37.582
- Said you wouldn't get well but look at you now; you're
- 00:05:37.649 --> 00:05:38.750
- But look at you now; you're healthy and whole. it looked
- 00:05:38.817 --> 00:05:40.819
- Healthy and whole. it looked like you'd always struggle,
- 00:05:40.886 --> 00:05:42.387
- Like you'd always struggle, then one good break, one
- 00:05:42.454 --> 00:05:44.156
- Then one good break, one contract, one opportunity,
- 00:05:44.222 --> 00:05:46.024
- Contract, one opportunity, and you have overflow,
- 00:05:46.091 --> 00:05:47.325
- And you have overflow, abundance. or maybe you
- 00:05:47.392 --> 00:05:49.561
- Abundance. or maybe you thought it was too late to
- 00:05:49.628 --> 00:05:50.629
- Thought it was too late to accomplish your dream, to
- 00:05:50.695 --> 00:05:52.464
- Accomplish your dream, to write the book, start the
- 00:05:52.531 --> 00:05:53.832
- Write the book, start the business, to build the house,
- 00:05:53.899 --> 00:05:56.034
- Business, to build the house, then things started falling
- 00:05:56.101 --> 00:05:57.302
- Then things started falling into place, new doors opened,
- 00:05:57.369 --> 00:05:59.871
- Into place, new doors opened, the right people showed up,
- 00:05:59.938 --> 00:06:01.339
- The right people showed up, supernatural provision. what
- 00:06:01.406 --> 00:06:03.508
- Supernatural provision. what happened? you came into a
- 00:06:03.575 --> 00:06:05.277
- Happened? you came into a super bloom. the rain stopped
- 00:06:05.343 --> 00:06:08.113
- Super bloom. the rain stopped and the seeds came to life.
- 00:06:08.180 --> 00:06:10.115
- And the seeds came to life. you blossomed. you saw levels
- 00:06:10.182 --> 00:06:12.684
- You blossomed. you saw levels you would have never seen
- 00:06:12.751 --> 00:06:14.186
- You would have never seen without the excessive rain.
- 00:06:14.252 --> 00:06:16.822
- Without the excessive rain. one expert talked about how
- 00:06:16.888 --> 00:06:18.557
- One expert talked about how in order to have a super
- 00:06:18.623 --> 00:06:20.192
- In order to have a super bloom, the conditions had to
- 00:06:20.258 --> 00:06:21.960
- Bloom, the conditions had to be just right. what's
- 00:06:22.027 --> 00:06:23.795
- Be just right. what's interesting is california had
- 00:06:23.862 --> 00:06:26.097
- Interesting is california had been in one of the top three
- 00:06:26.164 --> 00:06:27.666
- Been in one of the top three droughts in their history.
- 00:06:27.732 --> 00:06:30.001
- Droughts in their history. people had to conserve water,
- 00:06:30.068 --> 00:06:32.270
- People had to conserve water, not run their sprinklers. it
- 00:06:32.337 --> 00:06:33.872
- Not run their sprinklers. it was inconvenient, a hardship.
- 00:06:33.939 --> 00:06:36.908
- Was inconvenient, a hardship. but during the drought,
- 00:06:36.975 --> 00:06:37.943
- But during the drought, something unusual was
- 00:06:38.009 --> 00:06:39.110
- Something unusual was happening. most of the weeds
- 00:06:39.177 --> 00:06:41.580
- Happening. most of the weeds and grass that normally
- 00:06:41.646 --> 00:06:42.948
- And grass that normally filled the mountain sides had
- 00:06:43.014 --> 00:06:44.916
- Filled the mountain sides had died off. that made room for
- 00:06:44.983 --> 00:06:47.486
- Died off. that made room for these flower seeds that were
- 00:06:47.552 --> 00:06:49.354
- These flower seeds that were buried deeper underground to
- 00:06:49.421 --> 00:06:51.389
- Buried deeper underground to receive the water and come to
- 00:06:51.456 --> 00:06:52.991
- Receive the water and come to life. had there not been a
- 00:06:53.058 --> 00:06:55.060
- Life. had there not been a drought, but just the
- 00:06:55.126 --> 00:06:56.761
- Drought, but just the excessive rain, these flower
- 00:06:56.828 --> 00:06:58.997
- Excessive rain, these flower seeds wouldn't have
- 00:06:59.064 --> 00:07:00.065
- Seeds wouldn't have germinated. the perfect
- 00:07:00.131 --> 00:07:02.300
- Germinated. the perfect conditions for a super bloom
- 00:07:02.367 --> 00:07:04.803
- Conditions for a super bloom was a dry season followed by
- 00:07:04.870 --> 00:07:07.038
- Was a dry season followed by excessive rain. god was
- 00:07:07.105 --> 00:07:09.608
- Excessive rain. god was showing us a principle. many
- 00:07:09.674 --> 00:07:11.843
- Showing us a principle. many times, before our super
- 00:07:11.910 --> 00:07:13.111
- Times, before our super bloom, there's a dry season.
- 00:07:13.178 --> 00:07:15.747
- Bloom, there's a dry season. a drought, nothing good is
- 00:07:15.814 --> 00:07:17.682
- A drought, nothing good is happening, no favor, no
- 00:07:17.749 --> 00:07:19.484
- Happening, no favor, no promotion, things are slow.
- 00:07:19.551 --> 00:07:21.953
- Promotion, things are slow. it's tempting to quit
- 00:07:22.020 --> 00:07:22.787
- It's tempting to quit believing, “god where are
- 00:07:22.854 --> 00:07:23.989
- Believing, “god where are you, why is this not
- 00:07:24.055 --> 00:07:25.524
- You, why is this not changing.” god has not
- 00:07:25.590 --> 00:07:27.392
- Changing.” god has not forgotten about you. the
- 00:07:27.459 --> 00:07:29.227
- Forgotten about you. the drought is all a part of his
- 00:07:29.294 --> 00:07:30.795
- Drought is all a part of his plan. it's making room for
- 00:07:30.862 --> 00:07:33.064
- Plan. it's making room for the new things he's about to
- 00:07:33.131 --> 00:07:34.432
- The new things he's about to do.
- 00:07:34.499 --> 00:07:35.834
- Do. you would think the perfect
- 00:07:35.901 --> 00:07:37.469
- You would think the perfect conditions for a super bloom
- 00:07:37.536 --> 00:07:38.937
- Conditions for a super bloom would be good weather,
- 00:07:39.004 --> 00:07:40.605
- Would be good weather, sunshine, the right amount of
- 00:07:40.672 --> 00:07:42.507
- Sunshine, the right amount of water, the right amount of
- 00:07:42.574 --> 00:07:43.875
- Water, the right amount of fertilizer. it's just the
- 00:07:43.942 --> 00:07:45.343
- Fertilizer. it's just the opposite. to have a super
- 00:07:45.410 --> 00:07:47.512
- Opposite. to have a super bloom you have to have a
- 00:07:47.579 --> 00:07:49.114
- Bloom you have to have a drought followed by excessive
- 00:07:49.180 --> 00:07:51.316
- Drought followed by excessive rain. a drought is bad
- 00:07:51.383 --> 00:07:53.485
- Rain. a drought is bad enough, “this is slow, i feel
- 00:07:53.552 --> 00:07:56.421
- Enough, “this is slow, i feel stuck in my career, nothings
- 00:07:56.488 --> 00:07:58.423
- Stuck in my career, nothings changing in my health, my
- 00:07:58.490 --> 00:07:59.958
- Changing in my health, my child is still off course.”
- 00:08:00.025 --> 00:08:02.227
- Child is still off course.” if the drought doesn't
- 00:08:02.294 --> 00:08:03.328
- If the drought doesn't discourage us, then here
- 00:08:03.395 --> 00:08:04.863
- Discourage us, then here comes the excessive rain.
- 00:08:04.930 --> 00:08:06.831
- Comes the excessive rain. trouble at work, a pandemic
- 00:08:06.898 --> 00:08:09.034
- Trouble at work, a pandemic hits, a friend turned on you,
- 00:08:09.100 --> 00:08:11.036
- Hits, a friend turned on you, you lost a loved one. when it
- 00:08:11.102 --> 00:08:12.671
- You lost a loved one. when it rains it pours. but when you
- 00:08:12.737 --> 00:08:15.073
- Rains it pours. but when you understand how god works,
- 00:08:15.140 --> 00:08:17.309
- Understand how god works, that the dry season, the
- 00:08:17.375 --> 00:08:19.177
- That the dry season, the excessive rain, that's all
- 00:08:19.244 --> 00:08:21.246
- Excessive rain, that's all leading to a super bloom.
- 00:08:21.313 --> 00:08:23.381
- Leading to a super bloom. that's how those seeds of
- 00:08:23.448 --> 00:08:24.683
- That's how those seeds of increase, seeds of abundance,
- 00:08:24.749 --> 00:08:27.118
- Increase, seeds of abundance, seeds of new levels are going
- 00:08:27.185 --> 00:08:28.720
- Seeds of new levels are going to take root. the drought is
- 00:08:28.787 --> 00:08:31.089
- To take root. the drought is not permanent. the excessive
- 00:08:31.156 --> 00:08:33.325
- Not permanent. the excessive rain may feel like it's going
- 00:08:33.391 --> 00:08:34.859
- Rain may feel like it's going to flood you. like you're
- 00:08:34.926 --> 00:08:36.461
- To flood you. like you're going to go under, but god
- 00:08:36.528 --> 00:08:38.430
- Going to go under, but god has you in the palm of his
- 00:08:38.496 --> 00:08:39.764
- Has you in the palm of his hand. he said, “you'll go
- 00:08:39.831 --> 00:08:41.700
- Hand. he said, “you'll go through the floods and not be
- 00:08:41.766 --> 00:08:43.468
- Through the floods and not be drowned.” you'll go through
- 00:08:43.535 --> 00:08:45.236
- Drowned.” you'll go through the dry seasons and not be
- 00:08:45.303 --> 00:08:46.871
- The dry seasons and not be harmed. it may seem odd, but
- 00:08:46.938 --> 00:08:49.708
- Harmed. it may seem odd, but that's the perfect condition
- 00:08:49.774 --> 00:08:51.443
- That's the perfect condition for a super bloom. the dry
- 00:08:51.509 --> 00:08:53.511
- For a super bloom. the dry season, the excessive rain,
- 00:08:53.578 --> 00:08:55.714
- Season, the excessive rain, it's not setting you back,
- 00:08:55.780 --> 00:08:57.449
- It's not setting you back, it's setting you up to
- 00:08:57.515 --> 00:08:58.483
- It's setting you up to flourish, to blossom, to see
- 00:08:58.550 --> 00:09:01.152
- Flourish, to blossom, to see greater favor, greater joy,
- 00:09:01.219 --> 00:09:03.755
- Greater favor, greater joy, greater resources, greater
- 00:09:03.822 --> 00:09:05.056
- Greater resources, greater influence.
- 00:09:05.123 --> 00:09:06.558
- Influence. now the key is what kind of
- 00:09:06.625 --> 00:09:08.259
- Now the key is what kind of attitude do we have in the
- 00:09:08.326 --> 00:09:09.828
- Attitude do we have in the dry seasons. when it's slow,
- 00:09:09.894 --> 00:09:12.397
- Dry seasons. when it's slow, we're not seeing any
- 00:09:12.464 --> 00:09:13.465
- We're not seeing any progress. in the excessive
- 00:09:13.531 --> 00:09:15.867
- Progress. in the excessive rain. you get through one
- 00:09:15.934 --> 00:09:17.669
- Rain. you get through one struggle and something else
- 00:09:17.736 --> 00:09:19.137
- Struggle and something else hits. it's easy to complain,
- 00:09:19.204 --> 00:09:21.906
- Hits. it's easy to complain, get bitter, “god it's not
- 00:09:21.973 --> 00:09:23.108
- Get bitter, “god it's not fair.” you have to dig down
- 00:09:23.174 --> 00:09:25.143
- Fair.” you have to dig down deep and say, “god, i trust
- 00:09:25.210 --> 00:09:27.078
- Deep and say, “god, i trust you. i know you wouldn't have
- 00:09:27.145 --> 00:09:29.080
- You. i know you wouldn't have allowed this if it wasn't
- 00:09:29.147 --> 00:09:30.682
- Allowed this if it wasn't working for me. yes, i'm in a
- 00:09:30.749 --> 00:09:32.917
- Working for me. yes, i'm in a drought, yes, i have these
- 00:09:32.984 --> 00:09:34.386
- Drought, yes, i have these challenges, but i believe a
- 00:09:34.452 --> 00:09:36.354
- Challenges, but i believe a super bloom is coming. that i
- 00:09:36.421 --> 00:09:38.323
- Super bloom is coming. that i will blossom in my health,
- 00:09:38.390 --> 00:09:39.991
- Will blossom in my health, blossom in my finances,
- 00:09:40.058 --> 00:09:41.626
- Blossom in my finances, blossom in my relationships.”
- 00:09:41.693 --> 00:09:44.629
- Blossom in my relationships.” this is what happened with
- 00:09:44.696 --> 00:09:45.597
- This is what happened with joseph. god put a dream in
- 00:09:45.664 --> 00:09:47.599
- Joseph. god put a dream in his heart that he was going
- 00:09:47.666 --> 00:09:48.900
- His heart that he was going to be in leadership and do
- 00:09:48.967 --> 00:09:50.435
- To be in leadership and do great things. that seed was
- 00:09:50.502 --> 00:09:52.504
- Great things. that seed was planted, but it didn't come
- 00:09:52.570 --> 00:09:54.139
- Planted, but it didn't come to pass without opposition.
- 00:09:54.205 --> 00:09:56.474
- To pass without opposition. you can't reach the fullness
- 00:09:56.541 --> 00:09:58.009
- You can't reach the fullness of your potential without
- 00:09:58.076 --> 00:09:59.577
- Of your potential without delays, setbacks, people that
- 00:09:59.644 --> 00:10:02.247
- Delays, setbacks, people that turn on you. the apostle paul
- 00:10:02.313 --> 00:10:04.549
- Turn on you. the apostle paul said, “a wide door of
- 00:10:04.616 --> 00:10:06.317
- Said, “a wide door of opportunity is open and there
- 00:10:06.384 --> 00:10:08.553
- Opportunity is open and there are many adversaries.” it
- 00:10:08.620 --> 00:10:10.355
- Are many adversaries.” it would be much easier if god
- 00:10:10.422 --> 00:10:12.357
- Would be much easier if god gave us the dream and then
- 00:10:12.424 --> 00:10:13.792
- Gave us the dream and then just brought it to pass, made
- 00:10:13.858 --> 00:10:15.593
- Just brought it to pass, made everything easy. but we would
- 00:10:15.660 --> 00:10:17.629
- Everything easy. but we would never grow, we would never
- 00:10:17.696 --> 00:10:19.798
- Never grow, we would never develop our spiritual muscles
- 00:10:19.864 --> 00:10:21.466
- Develop our spiritual muscles and we'd never learn to
- 00:10:21.533 --> 00:10:23.068
- And we'd never learn to really trust him. in the
- 00:10:23.134 --> 00:10:25.336
- Really trust him. in the difficult times is where you
- 00:10:25.403 --> 00:10:27.105
- Difficult times is where you show god what you're made of.
- 00:10:27.172 --> 00:10:29.507
- Show god what you're made of. that's where you prove that
- 00:10:29.574 --> 00:10:30.742
- That's where you prove that you can handle the blessing,
- 00:10:30.809 --> 00:10:32.510
- You can handle the blessing, handle the favor. that you're
- 00:10:32.577 --> 00:10:34.312
- Handle the favor. that you're not going to let
- 00:10:34.379 --> 00:10:34.979
- Not going to let disappointments, bad breaks,
- 00:10:35.046 --> 00:10:37.182
- Disappointments, bad breaks, people that come against you,
- 00:10:37.248 --> 00:10:39.117
- People that come against you, convince you to live bitter,
- 00:10:39.184 --> 00:10:40.952
- Convince you to live bitter, give up on those dreams.
- 00:10:41.019 --> 00:10:43.154
- Give up on those dreams. joseph's brothers were
- 00:10:43.221 --> 00:10:44.155
- Joseph's brothers were jealous of him, and they
- 00:10:44.222 --> 00:10:45.390
- Jealous of him, and they threw him into a pit.
- 00:10:45.457 --> 00:10:47.025
- Threw him into a pit. eventually they sold him as a
- 00:10:47.092 --> 00:10:48.593
- Eventually they sold him as a slave. his whole world was
- 00:10:48.660 --> 00:10:50.795
- Slave. his whole world was turned upside down. he went
- 00:10:50.862 --> 00:10:52.564
- Turned upside down. he went from having this exciting
- 00:10:52.630 --> 00:10:53.798
