00:11:36.090 --> 00:11:37.250
SAID, "YOU NEED TO STIR UP THE
00:11:37.250 --> 00:11:39.120

00:16:49.180 --> 00:16:50.090
HAVING BETHEL WITH US?
00:16:50.090 --> 00:16:51.070
BRIAN, THANK YOU SO MUCH!
00:16:51.070 --> 00:16:51.260
[WHISTLES]
00:16:51.260 --> 00:16:52.180
[APPLAUSE, CHEERS]
00:16:52.180 --> 00:16:53.030
GREAT TO HAVE YOU HERE!
00:16:53.030 --> 00:16:53.260
WE LOVE YOU GUYS.
00:16:53.260 --> 00:16:54.110
THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH.
00:16:54.110 --> 00:16:55.030
PLEASE BE SEATED, IF YOU WOULD.
00:16:55.030 --> 00:16:56.070
- AUDIENCE MEMBER: WOOH!
00:16:56.070 --> 00:16:57.240
- JOEL: THANK YOU.
00:16:57.240 --> 00:16:58.100
HONORED TO BE HERE WITH YA'LL
00:16:58.100 --> 00:16:59.010
I'M GONNA SHARE MY MESSAGE IN
00:17:00.180 --> 00:17:01.090
JUST A MOMENT, BUT, GIVE ME
00:17:01.090 --> 00:17:01.290
5 MINUTES AND I'LL TELL YOU A
00:17:01.290 --> 00:17:02.290
LITTLE BIT ABOUT MY STORY, HOW
00:17:02.290 --> 00:17:05.050
I GOT HERE.
00:17:05.050 --> 00:17:06.060
AND MAYBE SOME OF YOU KNOW IT.
00:17:06.060 --> 00:17:06.270
BUT, I HOPE I WON'T BORE YOU,
00:17:06.270 --> 00:17:07.180
BUT, I NEVER-- I NEVER DREAMED
00:17:07.180 --> 00:17:09.280
MY PARENTS STARTED LAKEWOOD
00:17:11.270 --> 00:17:13.050
CHURCH IN HOUSTON, TEXAS ON
00:17:13.050 --> 00:17:15.260
MOTHER'S DAY IN 1959 WITH 90
00:17:15.260 --> 00:17:16.160
PEOPLE.
00:17:16.160 --> 00:17:17.110
MY FATHER WAS A DENOMINATIONAL
00:17:17.110 --> 00:17:19.160
MINISTER AND HE FELT LIKE HE
00:17:19.160 --> 00:17:21.070
HAD MORE IN HIM.
00:17:21.070 --> 00:17:21.230
HE LAUNCHED OUT AND HE STARTED
00:17:21.230 --> 00:17:22.250
LAKEWOOD.
00:17:22.250 --> 00:17:23.110
AND SO, I GREW UP IN A SMALL
00:17:23.110 --> 00:17:24.170
CHURCH.
00:17:24.170 --> 00:17:25.050
I SAW MY PARENTS YEAR AFTER
00:17:25.070 --> 00:17:28.070
YEAR BEING FAITHFUL.
00:17:28.070 --> 00:17:30.190
MY DAD WOULD PREACH TO THOSE 90
00:17:30.190 --> 00:17:31.240
PEOPLE LIKE HE WAS PREACHIN' TO
00:17:31.240 --> 00:17:33.030
90.000 PEOPLE.
00:17:33.030 --> 00:17:34.210
YOU KNOW, THE BIBLE TALKS ABOUT
00:17:34.210 --> 00:17:35.140
DON'T DESPISE THE DAY OF SMALL
00:17:35.140 --> 00:17:36.170
BEGINNINGS.
00:17:36.170 --> 00:17:39.120
YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES YOU START
00:17:39.120 --> 00:17:40.230
SMALL, BUT, YOU KNOW, YOU'RE
00:17:40.230 --> 00:17:41.190
NOT GONNA END UP SMALL IF YOU
00:17:41.190 --> 00:17:43.120
KEEP HONORING GOD, KEEP BEING
00:17:43.120 --> 00:17:44.030
YOUR BEST.
00:17:44.030 --> 00:17:44.160
I THINK WHAT STICKS OUT TO ME
00:17:44.160 --> 00:17:47.020
IS -- AGAIN -- I SAW MY FATHER
00:17:47.020 --> 00:17:47.290
BEING A MAN OF INTEGRITY,
00:17:47.290 --> 00:17:49.080
GIVING IT HIS BEST
00:17:49.080 --> 00:17:50.210
WITH 90 PEOPLE.
00:17:50.210 --> 00:17:51.210
FOR 12 YEARS, LAKEWOOD HAD LESS
00:17:51.210 --> 00:17:53.160
THAN 200 PEOPLE.
00:17:53.160 --> 00:17:54.220
IT DIDN'T REALLY GROW.
00:17:54.220 --> 00:17:56.110
BUT I REALLY BELIEVE THOSE--
00:17:56.110 --> 00:17:57.180
THOSE 12 YEARS WERE A TIME OF
00:17:57.180 --> 00:17:59.130
PROVING AND A TIME OF TESTING
00:17:59.130 --> 00:18:00.290
FOR MY FATHER.
00:18:00.290 --> 00:18:03.060
YOU KNOW, IF GOD CAN'T TRUST
00:18:03.060 --> 00:18:04.120
YOU TO BE FAITHFUL IN THE
00:18:04.120 --> 00:18:05.120
WILDERNESS, HOW CAN HE TRUST
00:18:05.120 --> 00:18:06.250
YOU TO BE FAITHFUL IN THE
00:18:06.250 --> 00:18:07.270
PROMISED LAND?
00:18:07.270 --> 00:18:08.140
SO, MAYBE YOU'RE AT A PLACE NOW
00:18:08.140 --> 00:18:10.120
AND YOU THINK: MAN, I KNOW I
00:18:10.120 --> 00:18:11.160
HAVE MORE IN ME.
00:18:11.160 --> 00:18:12.090
YOU KNOW, GOD, YOU PROMISED ME
00:18:12.090 --> 00:18:14.000
SOMETHING BIGGER THAN THIS.
00:18:14.000 --> 00:18:15.070
WELL, KEEP BEING THE VERY BEST
00:18:15.070 --> 00:18:16.060
RIGHT WHERE YOU ARE.
00:18:16.060 --> 00:18:17.240
YOU KNOW, NOBODY MAY BE GIVING
00:18:17.240 --> 00:18:18.250
YOU CREDIT.
00:18:18.250 --> 00:18:20.030
BUT, YOU'RE NOT WORKING UNDER
00:18:20.030 --> 00:18:21.060
PEOPLE; YOU'RE WORKING UNDER
00:18:21.060 --> 00:18:22.000
GOD.
00:18:22.000 --> 00:18:23.040
SO, 1972, THE CHURCH STARTED TO
00:18:25.100 --> 00:18:26.020
REALLY GROW AND IT GREW TO A
00:18:26.020 --> 00:18:27.040
CHURCH OF THOUSANDS.
00:18:27.040 --> 00:18:27.200
WELL, MY DAD PASTORED THERE.
00:18:27.200 --> 00:18:29.170
AND, 1981, AFTER COLLEGE-- I
00:18:29.180 --> 00:18:32.180
CAME BACK 1982, I THINK IT WAS.
00:18:32.180 --> 00:18:35.040
I CAME BACK AND I TOLD MY
00:18:35.040 --> 00:18:36.280
FATHER I WANTED TO COME BACK
00:18:36.280 --> 00:18:38.130
AND WORK AT THE CHURCH AND
00:18:38.130 --> 00:18:39.110
START A TELEVISION MINISTRY.
00:18:39.110 --> 00:18:40.260
SO, THAT'S WHAT I DID FOR 17
00:18:40.260 --> 00:18:42.050
THAT'S WHY I LOVE THE CAMERAS,
00:18:44.160 --> 00:18:45.160
AND THE LIGHTING, AND THE
00:18:45.160 --> 00:18:46.050
BEAUTIFUL SETUP.
00:18:46.050 --> 00:18:46.190
AND, I THOUGHT THAT'S WHAT I
00:18:46.190 --> 00:18:47.230
WOULD DO WITH MY LIFE.
00:18:47.230 --> 00:18:48.200
BUT, YOU KNOW, TOWARD THE END
00:18:48.200 --> 00:18:51.040
OF MY DAD'S LIFE-- WELL, LET ME
00:18:51.040 --> 00:18:53.020
SAY THIS: MY DAD ASKED ME THOSE
00:18:53.020 --> 00:18:53.290
17 YEARS--
00:18:53.290 --> 00:18:55.150
MANY TIMES, HE ASKED ME: "JOEL,
00:18:55.150 --> 00:18:56.130
COME UP AND HELP ME PASTOR THE
00:18:56.130 --> 00:18:57.040
CHURCH.
00:18:57.040 --> 00:18:57.270
I THINK YOU WOULD BE A GOOD
00:18:57.270 --> 00:18:58.240
PASTOR."
00:18:58.240 --> 00:18:59.190
BUT, I DIDN'T HAVE THE-- I
00:18:59.190 --> 00:19:01.270
DIDN'T HAVE ANY DESIRE TO GET
00:19:01.270 --> 00:19:03.240
UP IN FRONT OF PEOPLE.
00:19:03.240 --> 00:19:05.090
I DIDN'T THINK THIS WAS IN ME.
00:19:05.090 --> 00:19:06.000
AND I WOULD TELL HIM: "DADDY,
00:19:06.000 --> 00:19:06.210
I'M NOT A PREACHER.
00:19:06.210 --> 00:19:07.070
YOU PREACH AND I'LL MAKE YOU
00:19:07.070 --> 00:19:07.270
LOOK GOOD.
00:19:07.270 --> 00:19:08.280
BUT I LIKE STAYING BEHIND THE
00:19:08.280 --> 00:19:09.190
SCENES."
00:19:11.030 --> 00:19:14.030
SO, THAT'S WHAT I DID FOR 17
00:19:14.030 --> 00:19:14.230
YEARS -- STAYED BEHIND THE
00:19:14.230 --> 00:19:15.140
SCENES AND HELPED MY FATHER IN
00:19:15.140 --> 00:19:16.100
THAT WAY.
00:19:16.100 --> 00:19:17.170
BUT, MY FATHER WAS 77 YEARS
00:19:17.170 --> 00:19:18.230
OLD, STILL SPEAKING EVERY
00:19:18.230 --> 00:19:20.070
WEEKEND AT THE CHURCH.
00:19:20.070 --> 00:19:20.240
BUT, HE HAD TO GO ON DIALYSIS
00:19:20.240 --> 00:19:21.280
'CAUSE HIS KIDNEYS WEREN'T
00:19:21.280 --> 00:19:22.170
FUNCTIONING PROPERLY.
00:19:22.170 --> 00:19:23.040
AND, I'LL NEVER FORGET -- HE
00:19:23.040 --> 00:19:25.260
WAS OVER AT MY SISTER LISA'S
00:19:25.260 --> 00:19:26.200
HOUSE EATING DINNER ONE MONDAY
00:19:26.200 --> 00:19:27.130
NIGHT.
00:19:27.130 --> 00:19:28.040
AND, HE TOLD MY MOTHER AND
00:19:28.040 --> 00:19:30.060
LISA, "I'M GOING TO CALL JOEL
00:19:30.060 --> 00:19:31.010
AND SEE IF HE'LL SPEAK FOR
00:19:31.010 --> 00:19:32.070
ME THIS SUNDAY AND GIVE
00:19:32.070 --> 00:19:32.280
ME A WEEKEND OFF."
00:19:32.280 --> 00:19:34.190
AND, MY MOM SAID: "JOHN, JOEL
00:19:34.190 --> 00:19:35.150
IS NOT A PREACHER.
00:19:35.150 --> 00:19:37.230
YOU'RE WASTING YOUR TIME."
00:19:37.230 --> 00:19:38.120
HE SAID: "IT DOESN'T MATTER.
00:19:38.120 --> 00:19:40.150
I'M GOING TO CALL HIM, ANYWAY."
00:19:40.150 --> 00:19:41.070
MY DAD CALLED ME.
00:19:41.070 --> 00:19:41.270
IF I'D TOLD HIM "NO" ONCE, I'D
00:19:41.270 --> 00:19:42.270
TOLD HIM "NO" A THOUSAND TIMES.
00:19:42.270 --> 00:19:44.040
"JOEL, WOULD YOU PREACH FOR ME
00:19:44.040 --> 00:19:44.290
THIS SUNDAY?" AND I JUST KIND
00:19:44.290 --> 00:19:45.270
OF LAUGHED.
00:19:45.270 --> 00:19:46.170
I WAS VERY HONORED, BUT I JUST
00:19:46.170 --> 00:19:47.260
SAID: "DADDY, I'M NOT A
00:19:47.260 --> 00:19:48.150
PREACHER.
00:19:48.150 --> 00:19:49.020
THAT'S JUST NOT ME."
00:19:49.020 --> 00:19:51.170
AND SO, WE HUNG UP THE PHONE.
00:19:51.170 --> 00:19:52.080
AND, YOU KNOW, MY FATHER NEVER
00:19:52.080 --> 00:19:53.150
PRESSURED ME, BUT I KNEW HE
00:19:53.150 --> 00:19:55.020
WANTED ME TO.
00:19:55.020 --> 00:19:56.110
BUT, I SAT DOWN TO FINISH
00:19:56.110 --> 00:19:57.000
EATING MY DINNER.
00:19:57.000 --> 00:19:57.270
I WAS EATING DINNER, AS WELL.
00:19:57.270 --> 00:19:59.070
ABOUT TWO MINUTES LATER,
00:19:59.070 --> 00:20:00.150
SOMETHING ON THE INSIDE SAID SO
00:20:00.150 --> 00:20:01.250
STRONGLY: JOEL, YOU NEED TO DO
00:20:01.250 --> 00:20:02.230
IT.
00:20:02.230 --> 00:20:05.170
I DON'T KNOW HOW TO EXPLAIN IT.
00:20:05.170 --> 00:20:06.090
I JUST KNEW THAT I KNEW THAT I
00:20:06.250 --> 00:20:09.250
KNEW I WAS SUPPOSED TO SPEAK
00:20:09.250 --> 00:20:10.150
FOR MY FATHER THAT WEEKEND.
00:20:10.150 --> 00:20:11.100
WELL, I CALLED HIM BACK AND
00:20:11.100 --> 00:20:12.020
SAID: "DADDY, I CHANGED MY
00:20:12.020 --> 00:20:12.210
MIND.
00:20:12.210 --> 00:20:13.120
I'LL SPEAK FOR YOU SUNDAY."
00:20:13.120 --> 00:20:14.020
WELL, MY MOTHER AND LISA --
00:20:14.020 --> 00:20:15.060
THEY NEARLY PASSED OUT.
00:20:15.060 --> 00:20:16.000
[LAUGHTER]
00:20:16.000 --> 00:20:16.280
I WAS GONNA PREACH MY FIRST
00:20:16.280 --> 00:20:17.180
SERMON IN 36 YEARS, AND, I'LL
00:20:17.180 --> 00:20:19.140
BE VERY HONEST: THAT WAS THE
00:20:19.140 --> 00:20:21.160
MOST MISERABLE WEEK OF MY LIFE.
00:20:21.160 --> 00:20:22.210
[LAUGHTER]
00:20:22.210 --> 00:20:23.240
I SO DREADED HAVING TO GET UP
00:20:23.240 --> 00:20:25.210
IN FRONT OF PEOPLE.
00:20:25.210 --> 00:20:26.290
AND, I EVEN TOLD VICTORIA,
00:20:26.290 --> 00:20:28.030
"PLEASE DON'T TALK TO ME UNTIL
00:20:28.030 --> 00:20:29.130
SUNDAY AFTERNOON AT 1 O'CLOCK,"
00:20:29.130 --> 00:20:30.140
'CAUSE I JUST WANTED TO GET
00:20:30.140 --> 00:20:32.090
IT OVER WITH.
00:20:33.180 --> 00:20:36.180
THAT FRIDAY, MY FATHER HAD SOME
00:20:36.180 --> 00:20:37.100
COMPLICATIONS AND HAD TO GO IN
00:20:37.100 --> 00:20:38.010
THE HOSPITAL.
00:20:38.010 --> 00:20:39.080
AGAIN, HE WAS STILL SPEAKING
00:20:39.080 --> 00:20:40.150
EVERY WEEKEND.
00:20:40.150 --> 00:20:41.280
SO, WE HOOKED HIM UP BY
00:20:41.280 --> 00:20:42.160
TELEPHONE.
00:20:42.160 --> 00:20:42.270
THIS WAS IN 1999.
00:20:42.270 --> 00:20:44.040
DIDN'T QUITE HAVE THE INTERNET
00:20:44.040 --> 00:20:45.030
LIKE TODAY.
00:20:45.030 --> 00:20:46.060
SO, I GOT UP THERE ON SUNDAY
00:20:46.060 --> 00:20:47.180
MORNING.
00:20:47.180 --> 00:20:48.090
WE HOOKED MY FATHER UP SO HE
00:20:48.090 --> 00:20:49.120
COULD HEAR US-- HEAR ME SPEAK
00:20:49.120 --> 00:20:50.070
MY FIRST SERMON.
00:20:50.070 --> 00:20:52.010
AND, MY FIRST THOUGHT WHEN I
00:20:52.010 --> 00:20:53.070
GOT UP HERE WAS, "WHAT IS
00:20:53.070 --> 00:20:54.120
EVERYBODY DOIN' STARIN' AT ME?"
00:20:54.120 --> 00:20:55.110
[LAUGHTER]
00:20:55.110 --> 00:20:56.050
'CAUSE I HAD NEVER SEEN IT FROM
00:20:56.050 --> 00:20:57.160
THIS PERSPECTIVE.
00:20:57.160 --> 00:20:58.070
AND, I DID MY BEST.
00:20:58.070 --> 00:20:59.140
YOU KNOW, I HAD TO HOLD ONTO
00:20:59.140 --> 00:21:00.230
THE PODIUM, I WAS SO NERVOUS
00:21:00.230 --> 00:21:01.210
AND SO AFRAID.
00:21:01.210 --> 00:21:02.280
WELL, I FINISHED SPEAKING.
00:21:02.280 --> 00:21:04.110
I TOLD VICTORIA: "LET'S GO UP
00:21:04.110 --> 00:21:05.240
TO THE HOSPITAL AND SEE WHAT MY
00:21:05.240 --> 00:21:06.170
DAD THOUGHT.
00:21:06.170 --> 00:21:08.060
HE GOT TO HEAR ME PREACH MY
00:21:08.060 --> 00:21:09.030
FIRST SERMON."
00:21:09.030 --> 00:21:09.200
THE NURSES STOPPED ME IN THE
00:21:09.200 --> 00:21:11.180
HALLS AND SAID: "JOEL, WE'VE
00:21:11.180 --> 00:21:12.160
NEVER SEEN YOUR DAD SO PROUD.
00:21:12.160 --> 00:21:14.040
HE'S JUST BEAMIN' WITH JOY."
00:21:14.040 --> 00:21:15.210
WELL, LITTLE DID I KNOW THAT

00:25:48.100 --> 00:25:49.250
CHURCH WHEN MY DAD WAS
00:25:49.250 --> 00:25:51.080
SPEAKIN', VICTORIA-- WHEN I
00:25:51.080 --> 00:25:52.050
WASN'T UP IN THE TV BOOTH.
00:25:52.050 --> 00:25:53.140
AND VICTORIA'D NUDGE ME AND
00:25:53.140 --> 00:25:55.280
SHE'D SAY, "JOEL, ONE DAY,
00:25:55.280 --> 00:25:56.230
YOU'RE GONNA PASTOR THIS
00:25:56.230 --> 00:25:57.110
CHURCH."
00:25:57.110 --> 00:25:57.260
AND THAT WOULD MAKE ME MAD.
00:25:57.260 --> 00:25:59.000
[LAUGHTER]
00:25:59.000 --> 00:25:59.170
'CAUSE I'D SAY, "NO, I'M NOT,
00:25:59.170 --> 00:26:00.240
VICTORIA, I DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW
00:26:00.240 --> 00:26:01.160
TO PREACH!"
00:26:01.160 --> 00:26:02.010
SHE'D SAY, "WELL, YEAH, JUST
00:26:02.010 --> 00:26:03.040
PREACH TO THEM LIKE YOU PREACH
00:26:03.040 --> 00:26:03.280
TO ME."
00:26:03.280 --> 00:26:05.160
[LAUGHTER]
00:26:05.160 --> 00:26:07.220
BUT I-- I MEAN THIS SERIOUSLY.
00:26:07.220 --> 00:26:08.230
SHE HAD TOLD ME SO MANY TIMES
00:26:08.230 --> 00:26:09.140
THAT I COULD PASTOR THE CHURCH.
00:26:09.140 --> 00:26:11.240
I BELIEVE THAT WHEN MY FATHER
00:26:11.240 --> 00:26:13.130
DIED AND I KNEW I WAS SUPPOSED
00:26:13.130 --> 00:26:14.190
TO, I BELIEVE THAT'S ONE REASON
00:26:14.190 --> 00:26:15.220
I COULD STEP UP TO DO IT.
00:26:15.220 --> 00:26:18.010
SO, HERE'S THE PRINCIPLE: YOU
00:26:18.010 --> 00:26:19.100
HAVE TO CALL OUT THE SEEDS OF
00:26:19.100 --> 00:26:20.200
GREATNESS IN THE PEOPLE GOD PUT
00:26:20.200 --> 00:26:21.210
IN YOUR OWN LIFE.
00:26:21.210 --> 00:26:22.220
[APPLAUSE]
00:26:22.220 --> 00:26:24.050
THEY HAVE ENOUGH PEOPLE PUSHIN'
00:26:24.050 --> 00:26:25.120
THEM DOWN,
00:26:25.120 --> 00:26:26.020
TELLIN' THEM WHAT THEY CAN'T
00:26:26.020 --> 00:26:26.290
BECOME, TELLIN' THEM HOW
00:26:26.290 --> 00:26:27.170
THEY'RE NOT GONNA MAKE IT.
00:26:27.170 --> 00:26:29.160
WHY DON'T YOU BE THAT ONE TO
00:26:29.160 --> 00:26:30.060
LIFT THEM UP?
00:26:30.060 --> 00:26:31.120
SOMETIMES, YOU CAN SEE THINGS
00:26:31.120 --> 00:26:33.070
IN PEOPLE THAT THEY CAN'T
00:26:33.070 --> 00:26:34.100
SEE IN THEMSELVES.
00:26:34.110 --> 00:26:37.110
I DIDN'T SEE THAT IN ME.
00:26:37.110 --> 00:26:38.190
AND SO, THERE ARE PEOPLE THAT
00:26:38.190 --> 00:26:39.170
GOD HAS PUT IN YOUR LIFE THAT
00:26:39.170 --> 00:26:40.130
YOU CAN HELP PUSH THEM INTO
00:26:40.130 --> 00:26:41.090
THEIR DESTINY.
00:26:41.090 --> 00:26:41.220
SOMETIMES, IT'S JUST A SIMPLE
00:26:41.220 --> 00:26:43.140
WORD OF ENCOURAGEMENT.
00:26:43.140 --> 00:26:45.280
YOU CAN TELL THEM WHAT THEY CAN
00:26:45.280 --> 00:26:46.220
BECOME.
00:26:46.220 --> 00:26:48.010
AND, HERE'S WHAT I'VE LEARNED:
00:26:48.010 --> 00:26:49.040
WHEN YOU HELP SOMEBODY ELSE
00:26:49.040 --> 00:26:49.270
RISE HIGHER, GOD WILL ALWAYS
00:26:49.270 --> 00:26:51.010
HELP YOU RISE HIGHER.
00:26:51.010 --> 00:26:52.050
[APPLAUSE]
00:26:52.050 --> 00:26:52.210
YOU KNOW, IT'S EASY -- AND I
00:26:52.210 --> 00:26:53.270
LOVE WHAT CHRISTINE SAID
00:26:53.270 --> 00:26:55.050
EARLIER -- IT'S EASY TO FIND
00:26:55.050 --> 00:26:56.130
FAULT, IT'S EASY TO TELL 'EM
00:26:56.130 --> 00:26:57.220
WHAT THEY'RE DOIN' WRONG, IT'S
00:26:57.220 --> 00:26:58.200
EASY TO TELL 'EM WHAT THEY
00:26:58.200 --> 00:26:59.180
CAN'T DO.
00:26:59.180 --> 00:27:00.070
THEY GOT ENOUGH PEOPLE TELLIN'
00:27:00.070 --> 00:27:01.250
THEM THAT.
00:27:01.250 --> 00:27:03.280
WHY DON'T YOU TELL THEM WHAT
00:27:03.280 --> 00:27:04.180
THEY CAN DO?
00:27:04.180 --> 00:27:05.080
WHY DON'T YOU HELP PUSH THEM TO
00:27:05.080 --> 00:27:06.000
BECOME ALL THAT GOD'S CREATED
00:27:06.000 --> 00:27:06.250
THEM TO BE?
00:27:06.250 --> 00:27:07.210
I REALLY BELIEVE THAT WE HAVE A
00:27:07.230 --> 00:27:10.230
RESPONSIBILITY -- WE HAVE A
00:27:10.230 --> 00:27:11.240
RESPONSIBILITY BEFORE GOD.
00:27:11.240 --> 00:27:12.270
IT'S NOT-- YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES,
00:27:12.270 --> 00:27:14.110
WE CAN SEE SOMETHING.
00:27:14.110 --> 00:27:15.170
"HEY, I'M TOO BUSY," OR "HEY, I
00:27:15.170 --> 00:27:17.150
DON'T LIKE THEM, ANYWAY."
00:27:17.150 --> 00:27:18.090
BUT, YOU GOTTA PUSH THEM.
00:27:18.090 --> 00:27:19.060
USE YOUR WORDS TO LIFT PEOPLE
00:27:19.060 --> 00:27:20.180
UP.
00:27:20.180 --> 00:27:22.010
USE YOU WORDS TO HELP THEM
00:27:22.010 --> 00:27:22.260
BECOME WHO GOD'S CREATED YOU TO
00:27:22.260 --> 00:27:24.120
BE.
00:27:24.120 --> 00:27:25.160
I REALLY BELIEVE YOUR DESTINY
00:27:25.160 --> 00:27:26.240
IS TIED TO HELPIN' OTHERS IN
00:27:26.240 --> 00:27:28.110
YOUR LIFE.
00:27:28.110 --> 00:27:29.170
IT'S EASY TO THINK ABOUT "MY
00:27:29.170 --> 00:27:31.120
DREAMS," "MY GOALS," "MY
00:27:31.120 --> 00:27:32.160
PROBLEMS," BUT, WHY DON'T YOU
00:27:32.160 --> 00:27:33.250
GET YOUR MIND OFF YOURSELF AND
00:27:33.250 --> 00:27:35.060
HELP SOMEBODY ELSE RISE HIGHER?
00:27:35.060 --> 00:27:36.020
AND I PROMISE YOU THIS: GOD
00:27:36.020 --> 00:27:38.200
WILL HELP YOU RISE HIGHER.
00:27:38.200 --> 00:27:39.180
THAT'S WHAT VICTORIA DID FOR
00:27:39.180 --> 00:27:40.080
ME.
00:27:40.080 --> 00:27:41.050
[APPLAUSE]
00:27:41.050 --> 00:27:42.220
[WHISTLE]
00:27:42.220 --> 00:27:43.100
ANYWAY, I DIDN'T MEAN TO CRY,
00:27:43.100 --> 00:27:44.020
BUT HERE WE GO.
00:27:44.020 --> 00:27:44.290
HEY, I DON'T KNOW IF YA'LL
00:27:44.290 --> 00:27:46.170
BROUGHT YOUR BIBLES, BUT,
00:27:46.170 --> 00:27:47.110
ANYWAY, YOU-- I WANT YOU TO SAY
00:27:47.110 --> 00:27:48.270
IT AFTER ME.
00:27:48.270 --> 00:27:49.110
YOU READY?
00:27:49.110 --> 00:27:49.250
THIS IS MY BIBLE
00:27:49.250 --> 00:27:50.150
[LAUGHTER]
00:27:56.020 --> 00:27:56.130
HOW DO YA'LL KNOW THAT?
00:27:56.130 --> 00:27:57.010
YOU ALREADY KNOW IT?
00:27:57.010 --> 00:27:57.170
OKAY.
00:27:57.170 --> 00:27:57.280
HEY, YA'LL WANNA REPEAT IT
00:27:57.280 --> 00:27:58.280
AFTER ME.
00:27:58.280 --> 00:27:59.110
THIS IS MY BIBLE...

[AUDIENCE REPEATS]
00:28:15.000 --> 00:28:15.150
I BOLDLY CONFESS.

[AUDIENCE REPEATS]
00:28:16.190 --> 00:28:17.150

00:28:24.180 --> 00:28:25.140
YOU SOUND GREAT, JERUSALEM!

[APPLAUSE, CHEERS]
00:28:26.190 --> 00:28:27.140
AWESOME.

[APPLAUSE, CHEERS]
00:28:28.080 --> 00:28:31.080
ALL RIGHT, I'M NOT GONNA SPEAK
00:28:31.080 --> 00:28:31.290
LONG.
00:28:31.290 --> 00:28:32.290
MY FATHER ALWAYS SAID, "BLESSED
00:28:32.290 --> 00:28:33.240
ARE THE SHORT-WINDED; THEY'LL
00:28:33.240 --> 00:28:34.290
BE INVITED BACK."
00:28:34.290 --> 00:28:35.260
[LAUGHTER]
00:28:35.260 --> 00:28:37.270
I KNOW I'VE ALREADY TALKED A
00:28:37.270 --> 00:28:38.190
LOT, BUT IF YA'LL CAN HANG ON
00:28:38.190 --> 00:28:40.170
25 MINUTES, I WANNA LEAVE YA'LL
00:28:40.170 --> 00:28:41.090
WITH A THOUGHT.
00:28:41.090 --> 00:28:41.270
WE'LL PRAY A BLESSING OVER YA.
00:28:41.270 --> 00:28:42.230
AND, UM, THEN WE'LL-- THEN
00:28:42.230 --> 00:28:44.220
WE'LL MOVE ON AND CONTINUE ON
00:28:44.220 --> 00:28:46.180
WITH A GREAT TOUR.
00:28:46.180 --> 00:28:48.050
BUT, LET ME TALK TO YOU A FEW
00:28:48.050 --> 00:28:48.260
MINUTES ABOUT...ABOUT...
00:28:48.260 --> 00:28:50.190
WHAT AM I GONNA TALK ABOUT,
00:28:50.190 --> 00:28:51.090
YA'LL?
00:28:51.090 --> 00:28:51.230
[LAUGHTER]
00:28:51.230 --> 00:28:52.080
LET ME TALK ABOUT BLESSED OUT
00:28:52.080 --> 00:28:53.150
OF SEASON.
00:28:53.150 --> 00:28:56.110
THERE ARE TIMES WHEN YOU CAN
00:28:56.110 --> 00:28:57.150
FEEL YOU'RE ON THE VERGE OF A
00:28:57.150 --> 00:28:58.060
NEW LEVEL.
00:28:58.060 --> 00:28:59.080
YOU KNOW, THINGS ARE FALLIN'
00:28:59.080 --> 00:29:00.170
INTO PLACE.
00:29:00.170 --> 00:29:01.150
YOU CAN SENSE IT'S YOUR SEASON,
00:29:01.150 --> 00:29:03.140
GOD'S ABOUT TO DO SOMETHING
00:29:03.140 --> 00:29:05.070
NEW, AND, IT'S IMPORTANT TO...
00:29:05.070 --> 00:29:06.060
LIVE WITH THAT EXPECTANCY AND
00:29:06.060 --> 00:29:09.030
BELIEVE FOR GOOD THINGS.
00:29:09.030 --> 00:29:10.170
BUT WHAT ABOUT THE TIMES WHEN
00:29:10.170 --> 00:29:12.190
IT'S JUST THE OPPOSITE?
00:29:12.190 --> 00:29:14.170
THINGS AREN'T GOING OUR WAY.
00:29:14.170 --> 00:29:15.140
BUSINESS IS DOWN.
00:29:15.140 --> 00:29:18.100
THE MEDICAL REPORT WASN'T GOOD.
00:29:18.100 --> 00:29:20.030
IT'S BEEN YEARS AND WE STILL
00:29:20.030 --> 00:29:21.080
HAVEN'T MET THE RIGHT PERSON.
00:29:21.080 --> 00:29:23.010
ALL OF OUR CIRCUMSTANCES SAY
00:29:23.010 --> 00:29:24.290
WE'RE STUCK.
00:29:24.290 --> 00:29:25.170
JUST ENDURE IT.
00:29:25.170 --> 00:29:26.290
IT'S NOT YOUR SEASON.
00:29:26.290 --> 00:29:28.100
THE GOOD NEWS IS GOD
00:29:28.100 --> 00:29:30.270
SPECIALIZES IN DOING THINGS OUT
00:29:30.270 --> 00:29:32.100
OF SEASON.
00:29:32.100 --> 00:29:34.150
HE DOESN'T WAIT FOR THE
00:29:34.150 --> 00:29:35.270
CONDITIONS TO BE PERFECT, FOR
00:29:35.270 --> 00:29:37.040
THE CIRCUMSTANCES TO LINE UP,
00:29:37.040 --> 00:29:39.110
FOR THE RIGHT PEOPLE TO LIKE
00:29:39.110 --> 00:29:40.240
YOU, FOR YOU TO HAVE THE
00:29:40.240 --> 00:29:42.000
TRAINING.
00:29:42.000 --> 00:29:42.260
HE DOES THINGS UNEXPECTEDLY,
00:29:42.260 --> 00:29:43.290
THINGS THAT YOU DIDN'T SEE
00:29:43.290 --> 00:29:46.140
COMING.
00:29:46.140 --> 00:29:47.000
YOU DIDN'T HAVE THE EXPERIENCE,
00:29:47.000 --> 00:29:49.010
BUT, SUDDENLY, YOU WERE
00:29:49.010 --> 00:29:50.100
PROMOTED.
00:29:50.100 --> 00:29:51.160
THE REPORT SAID YOU WOULDN'T
00:29:51.160 --> 00:29:53.100
GET WELL, BUT, SUDDENLY, YOUR
00:29:53.100 --> 00:29:54.170
HEALTH TURNED AROUND.
00:29:54.170 --> 00:29:55.220
OR YOU WERE TOLD YOU COULDN'T
00:29:55.220 --> 00:29:57.090
HAVE CHILDREN, BUT, AGAINST ALL
00:29:57.090 --> 00:29:58.110
ODDS, YOU CONCEIVED AND TODAY
00:29:58.130 --> 00:30:01.130
YOU HAVE THAT BABY.
00:30:01.130 --> 00:30:02.170
WHAT HAPPENED?
00:30:02.170 --> 00:30:03.210
GOD BLESSED YOU OUT OF SEASON.
00:30:03.210 --> 00:30:06.020
AND WE'VE BEEN TAUGHT TO STAY
00:30:06.020 --> 00:30:08.080
FAITHFUL IN THE SLOW PERIODS,
00:30:08.080 --> 00:30:10.090
AND, TO ENDURE WHEN THINGS
00:30:10.090 --> 00:30:11.280
AREN'T GOING OUR WAY.
00:30:11.280 --> 00:30:13.100
AND, YES, THAT'S IMPORTANT.
00:30:13.100 --> 00:30:14.090
WE HAVE TO PASS THE TEST.
00:30:14.160 --> 00:30:17.160
BUT, SOMETIMES, WE'RE BEIN'
00:30:17.160 --> 00:30:19.170
FAITHFUL WITHOUT RELEASING OUR
00:30:19.170 --> 00:30:20.080
FAITH.
00:30:20.080 --> 00:30:21.110
WE'RE ENDURING WITHOUT
00:30:21.110 --> 00:30:21.280
EXPECTING.
00:30:21.280 --> 00:30:24.040
- MATT: COME ON, NOW.
00:30:24.040 --> 00:30:25.170
- JOEL: WE'RE WAITING FOR THE
00:30:25.170 --> 00:30:26.080
CIRCUMSTANCES TO CHANGE, THEN
00:30:26.080 --> 00:30:27.110
WE'LL GET OUR HOPES UP.
00:30:27.110 --> 00:30:28.110
YOU KNOW, WHEN I GET THROUGH
00:30:28.110 --> 00:30:29.040
THIS SLOW SEASON, WHEN MY CHILD
00:30:29.040 --> 00:30:30.230
STARTS MAKIN' BETTER DECISIONS,
00:30:30.230 --> 00:30:33.130
WHEN I MAKE MORE PROGRESS, WHEN
00:30:33.130 --> 00:30:35.110
IT'S MY SEASON, THEN I'LL START
00:30:35.110 --> 00:30:36.180
BELIEVIN' AGAIN.
00:30:36.180 --> 00:30:37.200
BUT YOU DON'T HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL
00:30:37.200 --> 00:30:39.100
IT'S YOUR SEASON.
00:30:39.100 --> 00:30:41.090
GOD DOES THINGS OUT OF
00:30:41.090 --> 00:30:41.270
SEASON...
00:30:41.270 --> 00:30:44.040
- MATT: COME ON.
00:30:44.040 --> 00:30:44.190
- JOEL: ...NOT ON A NORMAL
00:30:44.190 --> 00:30:45.090
TIMETABLE, NOT IN A TRADITIONAL
00:30:45.090 --> 00:30:46.010
WAY.
00:30:46.010 --> 00:30:46.210
HE'LL DO THINGS THAT DON'T MAKE
00:30:46.210 --> 00:30:47.290
SENSE.
00:30:47.290 --> 00:30:49.140
YOU CAN'T EXPLAIN IT; IT'S JUST
00:30:49.140 --> 00:30:51.000
THE GOODNESS OF GOD.
00:30:51.000 --> 00:30:53.130
I TALKED TO A YOUNG LADY THAT
00:30:53.130 --> 00:30:54.110
HAD BEEN THROUGH SEVEN
00:30:54.110 --> 00:30:55.160
MISCARRIAGES.
00:30:55.160 --> 00:30:57.190
THE DOCTORS HAD TOLD HER
00:30:57.190 --> 00:30:58.220
THERE'S SOMETHING WRONG WITH
00:30:58.220 --> 00:30:59.160
HER WOMB, SHE COULDN'T CARRY
00:30:59.160 --> 00:31:00.270
THE BABY, AND SHE SHOULD STOP
00:31:00.270 --> 00:31:01.290
TRYING.
00:31:01.290 --> 00:31:03.070
SHE HAD BIG TEARS RUNNIN' DOWN
00:31:03.070 --> 00:31:04.290
HER CHEEKS.
00:31:04.290 --> 00:31:05.160
SO HEARTBROKEN.
00:31:05.160 --> 00:31:07.000
SHE WAS OUT OF SEASON.
00:31:07.000 --> 00:31:08.090
DIDN'T LOOK GOOD.
00:31:08.090 --> 00:31:09.210
THE ODDS WERE AGAINST HER.
00:31:10.040 --> 00:31:13.040
BUT PEOPLE DON'T HAVE THE FINAL
00:31:13.040 --> 00:31:13.260
SAY; GOD DOES.
00:31:13.260 --> 00:31:14.280
AND, LAST YEAR, SHE CONCEIVED
00:31:14.280 --> 00:31:16.100
AND CARRIED THE BABY FULL TERM.
00:31:16.100 --> 00:31:18.290
HER DOCTOR TOLD HER, IN 25
00:31:18.290 --> 00:31:20.240
YEARS OF PRACTICING, HE'D NEVER
00:31:20.240 --> 00:31:22.110
SEEN THAT HAPPEN BEFORE.
00:31:22.110 --> 00:31:23.080
AND THE ODDS MAY BE AGAINST
00:31:23.080 --> 00:31:25.160
YOU.
00:31:25.160 --> 00:31:27.050
EVERY VOICE SAYS: YOU'LL NEVER
00:31:27.050 --> 00:31:27.260
HAVE THE BABY.
00:31:27.260 --> 00:31:28.230
YOU'LL NEVER BREAK THE
00:31:28.230 --> 00:31:29.220
ADDICTION.
00:31:29.220 --> 00:31:30.180
YOU'LL NEVER MEET THE RIGHT
00:31:30.180 --> 00:31:31.080
PERSON.
00:31:31.210 --> 00:31:34.210
YOU KNOW THAT GOD IS ABOUT
00:31:34.210 --> 00:31:35.220
TO SHOW UP OUT OF SEASON
00:31:35.220 --> 00:31:37.070
AND MAKE THINGS HAPPEN THAT
00:31:37.070 --> 00:31:38.050
LOOKED IMPOSSIBLE.
00:31:38.050 --> 00:31:38.200
THERE'S NOT ANY LIMIT TO HIS
00:31:38.200 --> 00:31:41.020
POWER, WHEN YOU BELIEVE ALL
00:31:41.020 --> 00:31:42.070
THINGS ARE POSSIBLE.
00:31:42.070 --> 00:31:43.120
JOHN 5, THERE WAS A CRIPPLED
00:31:43.120 --> 00:31:46.120
MAN THAT HAD BEEN LYIN'
00:31:46.120 --> 00:31:48.160
BY THE POOL OF BETHESDA FOR
00:31:48.160 --> 00:31:50.090
38 YEARS.
00:31:50.090 --> 00:31:50.250
THERE WERE FIVE LARGE PORCHES
00:31:50.250 --> 00:31:52.210
AROUND THE POOL, FILLED WITH
00:31:52.210 --> 00:31:53.230
SICK PEOPLE.
00:31:53.230 --> 00:31:54.230
VERSE 4 SAYS THAT THE ANGEL
00:31:54.230 --> 00:31:57.020
WENT DOWN TO THE POOL AT A
00:31:57.020 --> 00:31:58.140
CERTAIN SEASON AND STIRRED THE
00:31:58.140 --> 00:31:59.240
WATERS.
00:31:59.240 --> 00:32:01.260
THE FIRST ONES TO GET IN WOULD
00:32:01.260 --> 00:32:03.080
BE HEALED.
00:32:03.080 --> 00:32:04.090
THE PEOPLE KNEW WHEN THE SEASON
00:32:04.090 --> 00:32:06.190
FOR THE ANGEL TO COME WAS.
00:32:06.190 --> 00:32:08.100
THEY HAD SEEN IT HAPPEN AGAIN
00:32:08.100 --> 00:32:09.210
AND AGAIN.
00:32:09.210 --> 00:32:11.280
THEY KNEW THAT WAS THEIR WINDOW
00:32:11.280 --> 00:32:13.270
OF OPPORTUNITY TO GET WELL.
00:32:13.270 --> 00:32:14.290
ANY MOMENT, THE ANGEL COULD
00:32:14.290 --> 00:32:17.160
SHOW UP.
00:32:17.160 --> 00:32:19.100
[HORN HONKING IN BACKGROUND]
00:32:19.100 --> 00:32:20.040
HE'S SAYIN' "AMEN."
00:32:20.040 --> 00:32:20.220
[LAUGHTER]
00:32:20.220 --> 00:32:21.160
ANY MOMENT, THE ANGEL COULD
00:32:21.160 --> 00:32:22.060
SHOW UP.
00:32:22.060 --> 00:32:23.020
[APPLAUSE]
00:32:23.020 --> 00:32:24.240
I FORGOT WHAT I WAS GONNA SAY
00:32:24.240 --> 00:32:26.150
NEXT.
00:32:26.150 --> 00:32:27.060
ONE DAY, JESUS CAME WALKING BY
00:32:29.110 --> 00:32:31.070
THE POOL AND HE SAID TO THE
00:32:31.070 --> 00:32:32.230
MAN, YOU KNOW, "DO YOU WANNA
00:32:32.230 --> 00:32:33.130
GET WELL?"
00:32:33.130 --> 00:32:34.040
THE PROBLEM WAS IT WASN'T THE
00:32:34.040 --> 00:32:36.040
RIGHT SEASON.
00:32:36.040 --> 00:32:37.260
IT WASN'T THE NORMAL TIME FOR
00:32:37.260 --> 00:32:39.290
THE STIRRING OF THE WATERS.
00:32:39.290 --> 00:32:41.050
AND, I CAN IMAGINE THE MAN WAS
00:32:41.050 --> 00:32:42.000
CONFUSED.
00:32:42.000 --> 00:32:42.170
HE SAID, "SIR, WHEN THE ANGEL
00:32:42.170 --> 00:32:43.200
COMES, I DON'T HAVE ANYONE TO
00:32:43.200 --> 00:32:45.240
HELP ME GET IN THE WATER.
00:32:45.240 --> 00:32:47.250
THEN, HE WAS OUT OF SEASON.
00:32:51.250 --> 00:32:54.010
WELL, JESUS SAID TO HIM, "GET
00:32:54.010 --> 00:32:54.220
UP, PICK UP YOUR BED, AND
00:32:54.220 --> 00:32:56.150
WALK."
00:32:56.150 --> 00:32:57.080
AND, INSTANTLY, THE MAN WAS
00:32:57.080 --> 00:32:57.280
HEALED.
00:32:57.280 --> 00:32:59.260
WELL, GOD WAS SHOWIN' US HOW HE
00:32:59.260 --> 00:33:00.200
CAN DO THINGS OUT OF SEASON.
00:33:00.200 --> 00:33:03.060
DOESN'T HAVE TO BE THE RIGHT
00:33:03.060 --> 00:33:05.050
TIME.
00:33:05.050 --> 00:33:06.050
THE CONDITIONS MAY NOT LOOK
00:33:06.050 --> 00:33:06.290
PERFECT.
00:33:06.290 --> 00:33:07.160
CIRCUMSTANCE MAY TELL YOU IT'S
00:33:07.160 --> 00:33:08.250
NOT YOUR SEASON, JUST ACCEPT
00:33:08.250 --> 00:33:09.150
IT.
00:33:09.150 --> 00:33:10.160
NO, GET READY FOR AN
00:33:10.160 --> 00:33:11.260
OUT-OF-SEASON BLESSING,
00:33:11.260 --> 00:33:13.100
FOR AN I-DIDN'T-SEE-IT-COMING
00:33:13.240 --> 00:33:16.240
HEALING, FOR A THAT-DOESN'T
00:33:16.240 --> 00:33:18.230
MAKE-SENSE PROMOTION.
00:33:18.230 --> 00:33:20.130
GOD IS GOING TO SHOW UP AT WHAT
00:33:20.130 --> 00:33:21.050
YOU THINK IS THE WRONG TIME.
00:33:21.050 --> 00:33:22.290
IT LOOKS LIKE THE ANGEL IS
00:33:23.070 --> 00:33:26.070
MONTHS AND MONTHS AWAY.
00:33:26.070 --> 00:33:27.050
GOD DOESN'T HAVE TO WAIT FOR
00:33:27.050 --> 00:33:28.130
THE ANGEL, FOR THE TREATMENT,
00:33:28.130 --> 00:33:31.020
FOR THE TRAINING, FOR THE BOSS
00:33:31.020 --> 00:33:32.030
TO LIKE YOU, FOR THE ECONOMY TO
00:33:32.030 --> 00:33:33.070
IMPROVE.
00:33:33.070 --> 00:33:35.080
HE CONTROLS THE UNIVERSE.
00:33:35.080 --> 00:33:36.050
HE'S NOT LIMITED BY SEASONS.
00:33:36.050 --> 00:33:38.220
ISAIAH SAID: GOD WILL MAKE
00:33:38.220 --> 00:33:40.140
STREAMS IN THE DESERT.
00:33:40.140 --> 00:33:41.260
- MATT: YEAH!
00:33:41.260 --> 00:33:43.020
- JOEL: HE WILL MAKE RIVERS IN
00:33:43.020 --> 00:33:43.260
A BARREN LAND.
00:33:43.260 --> 00:33:44.240
GOD CAN CAUSE YOU TO BLOSSOM
00:33:44.240 --> 00:33:46.150
OUT OF SEASON.
00:33:46.150 --> 00:33:48.070
WHEN ALL THE CIRCUMSTANCES SAY,
00:33:48.070 --> 00:33:50.100
"IT'S NOT GONNA HAPPEN," "IT'S
00:33:50.100 --> 00:33:51.150
TOO LATE," "YOU'RE HAVIN' TOO
00:33:51.150 --> 00:33:54.110
MANY DISADVANTAGES," GOD IS NOT
00:33:54.110 --> 00:33:55.180
WAITING FOR THE CONDITIONS TO
00:33:55.180 --> 00:33:57.010
BECOME MORE FAVORABLE; HE'S
00:33:57.060 --> 00:34:00.080
GOING TO MAKE RIVERS IN THE
00:34:00.080 --> 00:34:00.280
DESERT.
00:34:00.280 --> 00:34:01.280
HE'S GOING TO BLESS YOU
00:34:01.280 --> 00:34:02.160
OUT OF SEASON.
00:34:04.020 --> 00:34:07.020
AWHILE BACK, I WENT THROUGH ONE
00:34:07.020 --> 00:34:07.240
OF THOSE WEEKS WHERE EVERYTHING
00:34:07.240 --> 00:34:08.220
THAT COULD GO WRONG DID.
00:34:08.220 --> 00:34:09.280
WE HAD...DIFFICULTIES OVER
00:34:09.280 --> 00:34:12.170
HERE, AND, PEOPLE COMING
00:34:12.170 --> 00:34:13.130
AGAINST US OVER THERE.
00:34:13.130 --> 00:34:14.110
AND, SOMEBODY FILED A LAWSUIT.
00:34:14.110 --> 00:34:15.240
AND, A MAJOR PIECE OF EQUIPMENT
00:34:15.240 --> 00:34:17.230
BROKE THAT WE HAD TO REPLACE.
00:34:17.230 --> 00:34:18.270
IT WAS ONE HEADACHE AFTER
00:34:18.270 --> 00:34:20.130
ANOTHER.
00:34:20.130 --> 00:34:21.050
AND JUST WHEN I THOUGHT IT
00:34:21.050 --> 00:34:22.240
COULDN'T GET ANY WORSE, I WENT
00:34:22.240 --> 00:34:24.030
HOME ONE AFTERNOON -- VICTORIA
00:34:24.030 --> 00:34:25.240
WAS SITTING IN THE DEN, HOLDING
00:34:25.240 --> 00:34:27.120
THE DOG, CRYING.
00:34:27.120 --> 00:34:29.200
THANKS, JONNY.
00:34:29.200 --> 00:34:31.150
HOLDING THE DOG, CRYING.
00:34:31.150 --> 00:34:33.050
WELL, SHE HAD TAKEN THE DOG TO
00:34:33.050 --> 00:34:34.090
THE DOCTOR.
00:34:34.090 --> 00:34:36.120
LONG STORY SHORT, WE HAD TO PUT
00:34:36.120 --> 00:34:37.110
THE DOG TO SLEEP.
00:34:37.110 --> 00:34:38.280
AND IF THERE WAS EVER A WEEK--
00:34:38.280 --> 00:34:40.260
OR, OF ALL WEEKS THAT DOG COULD
00:34:40.260 --> 00:34:42.140
HAVE DIED, HE PICKED THAT WEEK.
00:34:42.140 --> 00:34:43.110
[LAUGHTER]
00:34:43.110 --> 00:34:44.070
WHEN IT RAINS, IT POURS.
00:34:44.070 --> 00:34:45.260
AND IF I EVER FELT LIKE A TIME
00:34:45.260 --> 00:34:47.110
WHERE I WAS DEFINITELY OUT OF
00:34:47.110 --> 00:34:49.080
SEASON, IT WAS THEN.
00:34:49.080 --> 00:34:51.160
I FELT LIKE I WAS IN A
00:34:51.160 --> 00:34:52.280
COUNTRY-WESTERN SONG:
00:34:52.280 --> 00:34:53.180
EVERYTHING WENT WRONG,
00:34:53.180 --> 00:34:54.240
THEN, THE DOG DIED.
00:34:54.240 --> 00:34:55.290
[LAUGHTER]
00:34:55.290 --> 00:34:58.160
BUT WE ALL FACE THESE SEASONS
00:34:58.160 --> 00:34:59.070
OF DIFFICULTIES, WHERE ONE
00:34:59.070 --> 00:35:00.100
THING AFTER ANOTHER GOES WRONG.
00:35:00.100 --> 00:35:01.280
AND, THE LAST THING ON MY MIND
00:35:01.280 --> 00:35:03.240
WAS BEING BLESSED, SEEING FAVOR
00:35:03.240 --> 00:35:05.130
AND INCREASE.
00:35:05.130 --> 00:35:07.110
I WAS PRAYING FOR GOD TO JUST
00:35:07.110 --> 00:35:08.060
SUSTAIN US, HELP US MAKE IT
00:35:08.060 --> 00:35:09.180
THROUGH, FIGHT OUR BATTLES.
00:35:09.180 --> 00:35:11.050
BUT A COUPLE OF DAYS LATER, IN
00:35:11.050 --> 00:35:13.120
THE MIDDLE OF THAT DIFFICULTY,
00:35:13.120 --> 00:35:15.250
I RECEIVED A PHONE CALL FROM
00:35:15.250 --> 00:35:17.090
THE VICE PRESIDENT OF ONE OF
00:35:17.090 --> 00:35:19.090
THE LARGEST, MOST PRESTIGIOUS
00:35:19.090 --> 00:35:21.110
MEDIA COMPANIES IN THE WORLD.
00:35:21.110 --> 00:35:22.220
AND, WE HAD NEVER MET, NEVER
00:35:22.220 --> 00:35:24.030
HAD ANY CONTACT, BUT, HE
00:35:24.030 --> 00:35:25.260
WATCHES US ON TELEVISION.
00:35:25.260 --> 00:35:28.210
AND, HE PRESENTED US THE
00:35:28.210 --> 00:35:30.130
LARGEST MEDIA OPPORTUNITY THAT
00:35:30.130 --> 00:35:31.230
WE'D EVER RECEIVED.
00:35:31.230 --> 00:35:32.140
WE AGREED TO PURSUE IT.
00:35:32.140 --> 00:35:33.280
HE SAID, "OKAY, I'LL HAVE MY
00:35:33.280 --> 00:35:35.030
800 EMPLOYEES WORKING FOR YOU
00:35:35.030 --> 00:35:36.250
THESE NEXT FEW MONTHS."
00:35:38.200 --> 00:35:41.200
WHEN I FELT THE LEAST FAVORED,
00:35:41.200 --> 00:35:42.220
WHEN I HAD THE MOST OPPOSITION,
00:35:42.220 --> 00:35:43.270
GOD SHOWED UP AND BLESSED ME
00:35:43.270 --> 00:35:46.030
OUT OF SEASON.
00:35:48.080 --> 00:35:51.080
JUST BECAUSE YOU DON'T FEEL
00:35:51.080 --> 00:35:51.280
FAVORED DOESN'T MEAN THAT
00:35:51.280 --> 00:35:52.170
YOU'RE NOT FAVORED.
00:35:52.170 --> 00:35:53.130
SOMETIMES, GOD WILL WAIT ON
00:35:53.130 --> 00:35:54.160
PURPOSE AND THEN DO SOMETHING
00:35:54.160 --> 00:35:57.010
TO YOU OUT OF SEASON, THEN DO
00:35:57.010 --> 00:35:59.250
SOMETHING AMAZING JUST TO
00:35:59.250 --> 00:36:01.140
REMIND YOU THAT HE'S IN CONTROL
00:36:01.140 --> 00:36:02.210
AND HIM BEING FOR YOU IS MORE
00:36:02.210 --> 00:36:04.210
THAN THE WORLD BEING AGAINST
00:36:04.210 --> 00:36:05.240
YOU.
00:36:05.240 --> 00:36:06.090
ARE YOU OUT OF SEASON TODAY?
00:36:06.090 --> 00:36:07.250
ARE YOU STUCK IN SOME AREA OF
00:36:07.250 --> 00:36:09.190
LIFE?
00:36:09.190 --> 00:36:11.110
STAY ENCOURAGED.
00:36:11.110 --> 00:36:11.290
GOD SEES WHAT'S HAPPENING.
00:36:11.290 --> 00:36:14.260
HE HAS YOU IN THE PALM OF HIS
00:36:14.260 --> 00:36:15.170
HAND.
00:36:15.170 --> 00:36:18.020
HE HASN'T BROUGHT YOU THIS FAR
00:36:18.020 --> 00:36:18.230
TO LEAVE YOU.
00:36:18.230 --> 00:36:19.270
HE'S ABOUT TO DO SOMETHING
00:36:19.270 --> 00:36:20.210
UNUSUAL, SOMETHING THAT YOU'RE
00:36:20.210 --> 00:36:22.060
NOT EXPECTING, WHERE YOU'RE
00:36:22.060 --> 00:36:23.240
GOING TO SAY, LIKE ME, "WOW,
00:36:23.240 --> 00:36:25.020
GOD, I DIDN'T SEE THAT COMING."
00:36:29.070 --> 00:36:32.070
JESUS NOT ONLY HEALED THE
00:36:32.070 --> 00:36:33.060
CRIPPLED MAN OUT OF SEASON,
00:36:33.060 --> 00:36:33.260
WHEN THE ANGEL NORMALLY DIDN'T
00:36:33.260 --> 00:36:34.240
COME, BUT HE DIDN'T-- HE HEALED
00:36:34.240 --> 00:36:35.160
HIM ON THE SABBATH.
00:36:35.160 --> 00:36:36.230
THE RELIGIOUS LEADERS
00:36:36.230 --> 00:36:39.040
COMPLAINED THAT HE HEALED THE
00:36:39.040 --> 00:36:41.180
MAN ON THE WRONG DAY.
00:36:41.180 --> 00:36:42.160
YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO WORK ON
00:36:42.160 --> 00:36:43.070
THE SABBATH.
00:36:43.070 --> 00:36:45.070
BUT I'VE LEARNED GOD LIKES TO
00:36:45.070 --> 00:36:45.280
BREAK THE RULES.
00:36:45.280 --> 00:36:47.060
HE LIKES TO DO THINGS OUT OF
00:36:47.060 --> 00:36:49.070
THE ORDINARY, THINGS THAT DON'T
00:36:49.070 --> 00:36:50.120
MAKE SENSE, WHERE THERE'S NO
00:36:50.120 --> 00:36:52.260
LOGICAL EXPLANATION.
00:36:52.260 --> 00:36:54.230
AND THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED IN MY
00:36:54.230 --> 00:36:56.110
LIFE WITH MY MOM.
00:36:57.010 --> 00:37:00.030
SHE WAS DIAGNOSED WITH TERMINAL
00:37:00.030 --> 00:37:00.250
LIVER CANCER IN 1981, GIVEN A
00:37:00.250 --> 00:37:02.010
FEW WEEKS TO LIVE.
00:37:02.010 --> 00:37:04.200
THERE WAS NO TREATMENT THAT
00:37:04.200 --> 00:37:06.000
THEY COULD GIVE HER.
00:37:06.000 --> 00:37:07.010
THE DOCTORS, UNFORTUNATELY,
00:37:07.010 --> 00:37:08.160
JUST SENT HER HOME, AND, YOU
00:37:08.160 --> 00:37:09.270
KNOW, TOLD HER TO PREPARE FOR
00:37:09.270 --> 00:37:11.050
THE WORST.
00:37:11.050 --> 00:37:12.020
SHE WAS DEFINITELY OUT OF
00:37:12.020 --> 00:37:13.110
SEASON.
00:37:13.110 --> 00:37:15.260
OF COURSE, SHE WAS 48 YEARS
00:37:15.260 --> 00:37:16.160
OLD.
00:37:16.160 --> 00:37:17.130
SHE WAS YOUNG.
00:37:17.130 --> 00:37:17.290
SHE WANTED TO LIVE, BUT, IT
00:37:17.290 --> 00:37:18.280
LOOKED LIKE THE ANGEL WAS FAR
00:37:18.280 --> 00:37:20.050
AWAY.
00:37:20.050 --> 00:37:21.260
IT LOOKED LIKE THE WATERS WOULD
00:37:21.260 --> 00:37:23.140
NEVER BE STIRRED.
00:37:23.140 --> 00:37:24.270
BUT THE GOD WHO BREATHED LIFE
00:37:24.270 --> 00:37:26.230
INTO YOU, THE GOD WHO KNEW YOU
00:37:26.230 --> 00:37:28.040
BEFORE YOU WERE FORMED IN YOUR
00:37:28.040 --> 00:37:30.030
MOTHER'S WOMB, THE GOD WHO
00:37:30.030 --> 00:37:31.080
CONTROLS YOUR DESTINY, AGAINST
00:37:31.080 --> 00:37:33.070
ALL ODDS, HE SHOWED UP OUT OF
00:37:33.070 --> 00:37:35.030
SEASON, WHEN IT LOOKED
00:37:35.030 --> 00:37:36.290
IMPOSSIBLE.
00:37:36.290 --> 00:37:38.230
MEDICALLY SPEAKING, MY MOTHER
00:37:38.230 --> 00:37:40.060
WAS DONE.
00:37:40.060 --> 00:37:40.280
WHAT HAPPENED?
00:37:40.280 --> 00:37:42.010
GOD BROKE THE RULES.
00:37:42.140 --> 00:37:45.140
HE DID WHAT MEDICINE COULDN'T
00:37:45.140 --> 00:37:46.050
DO.
00:37:46.050 --> 00:37:46.170
AND, TODAY, 37 YEARS LATER, MY
00:37:46.170 --> 00:37:47.150
MOTHER IS STILL ALIVE AND STILL
00:37:47.150 --> 00:37:48.210
GOING STRONG, 84 YEARS OLD.
00:37:48.210 --> 00:37:49.180
[APPLAUSE]
00:37:50.230 --> 00:37:53.230
BUT WHERE ARE THE PEOPLE THAT
00:37:53.230 --> 00:37:54.290
WILL BE BOLD ENOUGH TO SAY,
00:37:54.290 --> 00:37:56.120
"GOD, I BELIEVE YOU CAN BLESS
00:37:56.120 --> 00:37:58.200
ME OUT OF SEASON; THE REPORT
00:37:58.200 --> 00:37:59.250
DOESN'T LOOK GOOD, BUT I
00:37:59.250 --> 00:38:01.200
BELIEVE YOU CAN HEAL ME; I'VE
00:38:01.200 --> 00:38:02.280
HAD THIS ADDICTION FOR YEARS,
00:38:02.280 --> 00:38:04.220
BUT I KNOW YOU CAN SET ME FREE;
00:38:04.220 --> 00:38:06.180
GOD, MY CHILDREN ARE
00:38:06.180 --> 00:38:07.210
OFF COURSE, BUT I KNOW, AS FOR
00:38:07.210 --> 00:38:08.260
ME AND MY HOUSE, WE WILL SERVE
00:38:08.260 --> 00:38:10.140
THE LORD"?
00:38:10.140 --> 00:38:11.170
[CHEERS]
00:38:11.170 --> 00:38:12.200
WHEN YOU'RE NOT JUST ENDURING A
00:38:12.200 --> 00:38:13.140
SLOW SEASON BUT YOU'RE
00:38:13.140 --> 00:38:15.130
RELEASING YOUR FAITH, YOU'RE
00:38:15.130 --> 00:38:16.180
EXPECTING GOD'S GOODNESS, HE'LL
00:38:16.180 --> 00:38:18.190
MAKE THINGS HAPPEN THAT YOU
00:38:18.190 --> 00:38:20.170
COULDN'T MAKE HAPPEN.
00:38:20.170 --> 00:38:21.220
AND ALL OF US, IN SOME AREA,
00:38:21.220 --> 00:38:23.020
ARE OUT OF SEASON.
00:38:23.020 --> 00:38:24.130
SOMETHING IS SLOW.
00:38:24.130 --> 00:38:25.230
SOMETHING IS NOT CHANGING.
00:38:25.230 --> 00:38:27.160
AND IT'S EASY TO, YOU KNOW,
00:38:27.160 --> 00:38:30.010
ACCEPT IT AND THINK THAT'S THE
00:38:30.010 --> 00:38:31.010
WAY IT'S ALWAYS GOING TO BE.
00:38:31.010 --> 00:38:31.260
BUT YOU HAVE TO STIR YOUR FAITH
00:38:31.260 --> 00:38:32.290
UP.
00:38:32.290 --> 00:38:33.240
ANY MOMENT, GOD COULD TURN IT
00:38:33.240 --> 00:38:35.060
AROUND.
00:38:35.060 --> 00:38:36.070
IT COULD HAPPEN THIS MONTH, IT
00:38:36.070 --> 00:38:37.150
COULD HAPPEN THIS WEEK, IT
00:38:37.150 --> 00:38:38.170
COULD HAPPEN TODAY.
00:38:38.170 --> 00:38:40.100
THE CONDITIONS DON'T HAVE TO BE
00:38:40.100 --> 00:38:41.260
MORE FAVORABLE.
00:38:41.260 --> 00:38:43.170
YOU KNOW, YOU MAY LOOK AROUND,
00:38:43.170 --> 00:38:44.290
THINK: I DON'T SEE HOW IT COULD
00:38:44.290 --> 00:38:46.100
WORK OUT.
00:38:46.100 --> 00:38:47.050
THAT'S BECAUSE YOU'RE LOOKING
00:38:47.050 --> 00:38:48.180
AT IT IN THE NATURAL; WE SERVE
00:38:48.180 --> 00:38:50.170
A SUPERNATURAL GOD.
00:38:51.210 --> 00:38:54.210
HE CAN BRING IN QUAIL FROM THE
00:38:54.210 --> 00:38:55.200
SEA, LIKE WITH MOSES.
00:38:55.200 --> 00:38:56.230
HE CAN HEAL YOU WITHOUT THE
00:38:56.230 --> 00:38:57.260
TREATMENT, LIKE MY MOM.
00:38:57.260 --> 00:38:59.040
HE CAN PROMOTE YOU WITHOUT THE
00:38:59.040 --> 00:39:00.080
QUALIFICATIONS, LIKE WITH
00:39:00.080 --> 00:39:01.070
DAVID.
00:39:01.070 --> 00:39:03.030
YOU MAY NOT SEE HOW IT CAN WORK
00:39:03.030 --> 00:39:04.060
OUT, BUT THIS IS WHAT FAITH IS
00:39:04.060 --> 00:39:05.140
ALL ABOUT.
00:39:05.140 --> 00:39:06.100
TURN IT AROUND.
00:39:06.100 --> 00:39:08.070
GOD, I DON'T SEE A WAY, BUT I
00:39:08.070 --> 00:39:09.250
KNOW YOU'RE STILL ON THE
00:39:09.250 --> 00:39:10.220
THRONE.
00:39:10.220 --> 00:39:11.100
I KNOW YOU'RE BIGGER THAN WHAT
00:39:11.100 --> 00:39:12.200
I'M FACING.
00:39:12.200 --> 00:39:14.050
LORD, YOU DID IT FOR ME LAST
00:39:14.050 --> 00:39:15.020
TIME AND I KNOW YOU'LL DO IT
00:39:15.020 --> 00:39:16.070
FOR ME THIS TIME.
00:39:16.070 --> 00:39:18.170
JESUS NOT ONLY HEALED THE
00:39:18.170 --> 00:39:20.150
CRIPPLED MAN WHEN HE WAS OUT OF
00:39:20.150 --> 00:39:21.240
SEASON, BUT HE ALSO DID IT NOT
00:39:23.050 --> 00:39:26.050
THE NORMAL WAY, NOT THE WAY
00:39:26.050 --> 00:39:27.050
THEY WERE EXPECTING.
00:39:27.050 --> 00:39:28.260
HE DIDN'T HAVE HIM GO LOOK FOR
00:39:28.260 --> 00:39:29.200
THE STIRRING OF THE WATERS.
00:39:29.200 --> 00:39:30.280
HE DIDN'T HAVE HIM GO DIP IN
00:39:30.280 --> 00:39:32.070
THE POOL.
00:39:32.070 --> 00:39:32.220
HE DID IT AN UNUSUAL WAY.
00:39:32.220 --> 00:39:34.270
AND GOD IS NOT ONLY GOING TO DO
00:39:35.030 --> 00:39:38.030
THINGS OUT OF SEASON, NOT AT
00:39:38.030 --> 00:39:39.230
THE NORMAL TIME, BUT HE'S GOING
00:39:39.230 --> 00:39:40.290
TO DO THEM A NON-TRADITIONAL
00:39:40.290 --> 00:39:41.240
WAY.
00:39:41.240 --> 00:39:43.290
IT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN THE
00:39:43.290 --> 00:39:45.170
WAY YOU THOUGHT, WITH THE
00:39:45.170 --> 00:39:47.050
PEOPLE YOU THOUGHT, HOW YOU
00:39:47.050 --> 00:39:48.230
WERE EXPECTING IT.
00:39:48.230 --> 00:39:49.250
SO, DON'T PUT GOD IN A BOX AND
00:39:49.250 --> 00:39:51.150
TELL HIM HOW TO DO IT, AND WHEN
00:39:51.150 --> 00:39:52.230
TO DO IT, AND WHERE TO DO IT.
00:39:52.230 --> 00:39:54.030
SOMETIMES, WE THINK WE HAVE TO
00:39:54.030 --> 00:39:55.180
HELP GOD OUT, GIVE HIM ALL THE
00:39:55.180 --> 00:39:57.180
DETAILS, IN CASE HE DOESN'T
00:39:57.180 --> 00:39:58.120
KNOW.
00:39:58.120 --> 00:39:59.160
LET GOD DO IT HIS WAY.
00:39:59.160 --> 00:40:01.240
HE HAS IT ALL FIGURED OUT.
00:40:01.240 --> 00:40:03.070
HIS WAYS ARE BETTER THAN OUR
00:40:03.070 --> 00:40:04.140
WAYS.
00:40:04.140 --> 00:40:06.240
BUT IF YOU'RE SET IN YOUR MIND
00:40:06.240 --> 00:40:08.010
HOW IT'S GONNA HAPPEN, WHEN
00:40:08.010 --> 00:40:09.180
IT'S GONNA HAPPEN,
00:40:09.180 --> 00:40:12.090
WHO HE'S GOING TO USE,
00:40:12.090 --> 00:40:13.050
THEN YOU'LL BE FRUSTRATED.
00:40:13.050 --> 00:40:14.030
GOD HAS WAYS THAT WE'VE NEVER
00:40:14.030 --> 00:40:15.200
THOUGHT OF.
00:40:15.200 --> 00:40:16.020
YOU MAY THINK YOU HAVE TO WORK
00:40:19.230 --> 00:40:20.200
YOUR WAY UP GRADUALLY IN THAT
00:40:20.200 --> 00:40:21.170
COMPANY.
00:40:21.170 --> 00:40:21.280
IF YOU CAN CONVINCE THAT
00:40:21.280 --> 00:40:23.030
SUPERVISOR TO LIKE YOU -- THREE
00:40:23.030 --> 00:40:24.170
YEARS YOU CAN GET A PROMOTION,
00:40:24.170 --> 00:40:26.060
FIVE YEARS YOU'LL BE THE
00:40:26.060 --> 00:40:27.220
ASSISTANT MANAGER.
00:40:27.220 --> 00:40:29.000
ONE TOUCH OF GOD'S FAVOR WILL
00:40:29.000 --> 00:40:30.230
PUT YOU 50 YEARS DOWN THE ROAD.
00:40:30.230 --> 00:40:32.200
WE THINK NATURAL; GOD THINKS
00:40:32.200 --> 00:40:35.010
SUPERNATURAL.
00:40:35.010 --> 00:40:38.000
HE'S GOING TO DO IT A
00:40:38.000 --> 00:40:39.120
YOU DIDN'T SEE IT COMING, YOU
00:40:40.270 --> 00:40:41.180
WEREN'T EXPECTING IT, BUT IT'S
00:40:41.180 --> 00:40:42.200
GOING TO BE BETTER THAN YOU CAN
00:40:42.200 --> 00:40:43.210
IMAGINE.
00:40:45.040 --> 00:40:48.040
WHEN WE NEEDED A LARGER
00:40:48.040 --> 00:40:48.220
SANCTUARY BACK AT HOME, I
00:40:48.220 --> 00:40:49.170
THOUGHT WE'D HAVE TO BUILD ONE,
00:40:49.170 --> 00:40:50.140
LIKE I'D SEEN MY FATHER DO SO
00:40:50.140 --> 00:40:51.230
MANY TIMES.
00:40:51.230 --> 00:40:52.270
I EVEN TRIED TO BUY THE LAND,
00:40:52.270 --> 00:40:55.050
BUT TWICE, THE PROPERTY WAS
00:40:55.070 --> 00:40:58.070
SOLD OUT FROM UNDER US.
00:40:58.070 --> 00:40:59.210
WE HAD A VERBAL AGREEMENT, BUT
00:40:59.210 --> 00:41:00.200
THE OWNER'S DIDN'T KEEP THEIR
00:41:00.200 --> 00:41:01.280
WORD.
00:41:01.280 --> 00:41:02.130
I WAS SO DISAPPOINTED.
00:41:02.130 --> 00:41:04.250
I HAD MY PLANS ALL FIGURED OUT.
00:41:04.250 --> 00:41:05.290
WE'D PURCHASE THE PROPERTY,
00:41:05.290 --> 00:41:07.000
BUILD A SANCTUARY, THEN WE
00:41:07.000 --> 00:41:09.040
COULD GROW.
00:41:09.040 --> 00:41:11.020
I COULDN'T UNDERSTAND WHY THE
00:41:11.020 --> 00:41:11.250
DOORS KEPT CLOSING.
00:41:11.250 --> 00:41:14.070
I NEVER DREAMED ONE DAY WE
00:41:14.070 --> 00:41:14.260
COULD OWN THE FORMER-- THE
00:41:14.260 --> 00:41:17.030
COMPAQ CENTER.
00:41:17.080 --> 00:41:20.080
THAT WAS THE MOST PRESTIGIOUS
00:41:20.080 --> 00:41:21.010
FACILITY IN HOUSTON
00:41:21.010 --> 00:41:23.030
RIGHT ON THE MAIN FREEWAY,
00:41:23.030 --> 00:41:25.190
2 MILLION PEOPLE A YEAR CAME
00:41:25.190 --> 00:41:26.090
INTO IT, A $500 MILLION
00:41:26.090 --> 00:41:26.270
FACILITY.
00:41:27.200 --> 00:41:30.200
I WAS OUT LOOKIN' AND I THOUGHT
00:41:30.200 --> 00:41:31.250
THERE WERE NO MORE OPTIONS,
00:41:31.250 --> 00:41:32.250
THEN GOD STEPPED IN AND SAID:
00:41:32.250 --> 00:41:34.250
LET ME SHOW YOU WHAT I HAVE IN
00:41:34.250 --> 00:41:35.220
MIND.
00:41:35.220 --> 00:41:36.040
[APPLAUSE]
00:41:36.040 --> 00:41:37.050
THE COMPAQ CENTER WAS MORE THAN
00:41:37.050 --> 00:41:38.190
I COULD ASK OR THINK.
00:41:38.190 --> 00:41:39.130
WE LEASED IT FOR A FEW YEARS.
00:41:39.130 --> 00:41:41.170
THEN, WE PURCHASED IT FOR
00:41:41.170 --> 00:41:44.140
$7 1/2 MILLION.
00:41:44.280 --> 00:41:47.280
YOU CAN'T EVEN BUY THE LAND FOR
00:41:47.280 --> 00:41:48.200
THAT AMOUNT.
00:41:48.200 --> 00:41:49.240
BUT GOD KNOWS HOW TO DO MORE
00:41:49.240 --> 00:41:50.140
THAN YOU CAN ASK OR THINK.
00:41:50.140 --> 00:41:52.180
[APPLAUSE, CHEERS]
00:41:52.180 --> 00:41:53.170
GOD IS NOT ONLY GOING TO BRING
00:41:53.170 --> 00:41:54.240
YOU OUT A NON-TRADITIONAL WAY,
00:41:54.240 --> 00:41:56.070
HE'S GOING TO EXCEED YOUR
00:41:56.070 --> 00:41:57.230
EXPECTATIONS.
00:41:59.180 --> 00:42:02.200
ARE YOU OUT OF SEASON TODAY?
00:42:02.200 --> 00:42:03.100
HAVE YOU BEEN THROUGH CLOSED
00:42:03.100 --> 00:42:04.000
DOORS? DISAPPOINTMENTS?
00:42:04.000 --> 00:42:05.250
STAY ENCOURAGED.
00:42:05.250 --> 00:42:06.100
GOD IS UP TO SOMETHING.
00:42:06.100 --> 00:42:07.100
HE'S WORKIN' BEHIND THE SCENES.
00:42:08.020 --> 00:42:11.020
HE'S ABOUT TO DO SOMETHIN'
00:42:11.020 --> 00:42:12.120
UNUSUAL, OUT OF THE ORDINARY
00:42:12.120 --> 00:42:14.220
THAT YOU WEREN'T EXPECTING.
00:42:14.220 --> 00:42:15.250
HE HAS ONE OF THOSE "I DIDN'T
00:42:15.250 --> 00:42:17.120
SEE IT COMING" BLESSINGS HEADED
00:42:17.120 --> 00:42:18.110
YOUR WAY.
00:42:19.090 --> 00:42:22.090
LUKE 5 -- JESUS WAS AT THE SEA
00:42:22.090 --> 00:42:24.240
OF GALILEE EARLY ONE MORNING,
00:42:24.240 --> 00:42:27.020
AND, HE NOTICED PETER'S EMPTY
00:42:27.020 --> 00:42:28.200
BOAT OFF ON THE SHORE.
00:42:28.200 --> 00:42:30.060
PETER WAS OVER CLEANING HIS NETS
00:42:30.100 --> 00:42:33.100
AFTER A LONG NIGHT OF FISHING.
00:42:33.100 --> 00:42:34.010
THERE WERE SO MANY PEOPLE
00:42:34.010 --> 00:42:37.000
GATHERING AROUND JESUS.
00:42:37.000 --> 00:42:38.080
HE NEVER MET PETER, BUT HE
00:42:38.080 --> 00:42:38.270
ASKED TO BORROW HIS BOAT.
00:42:38.270 --> 00:42:39.220
PETER AGREED.
00:42:39.220 --> 00:42:40.260
JESUS PUSHED BACK AND TAUGHT
00:42:40.260 --> 00:42:42.250
THE PEOPLE.
00:42:42.250 --> 00:42:43.090
WHEN HE FINISHED, HE WANTED TO
00:42:43.090 --> 00:42:44.100
DO SOMETHING TO THANK PETER,
00:42:44.100 --> 00:42:46.240
AND, HE TOLD HIM TO GO BACK OUT
00:42:46.240 --> 00:42:48.010
INTO THE WATER AND HE WOULD
00:42:48.010 --> 00:42:49.240
CATCH A GREAT HAUL OF FISH.
00:42:49.240 --> 00:42:52.210
WELL, PETER WAS A PROFESSIONAL
00:42:52.210 --> 00:42:54.010
FISHERMAN.
00:42:54.010 --> 00:42:55.130
HE HAD DONE THIS FOR YEARS.
00:42:55.130 --> 00:42:56.210
HE KNEW WHEN THE FISH WOULD
00:42:56.210 --> 00:42:57.220
BITE.
00:42:57.220 --> 00:42:58.170
THIS TYPE OF FISHING YOU DIDN'T
00:42:58.170 --> 00:43:00.130
DO IN THE MORNING.
00:43:00.130 --> 00:43:01.080
EVERYTHING IN PETER SAID: DON'T
00:43:01.080 --> 00:43:03.160
GO BACK OUT.
00:43:03.160 --> 00:43:04.120
IT'S GOING TO BE A WASTE OF
00:43:04.120 --> 00:43:05.080
TIME.
00:43:05.080 --> 00:43:05.290
THIS IS NOT WHEN THE FISH
00:43:05.290 --> 00:43:07.090
NORMALLY BITE.
00:43:08.020 --> 00:43:11.020
PETER SAID, "SIR, WE WORKED
00:43:11.020 --> 00:43:11.220
HARD ALL LAST NIGHT AND CAUGHT
00:43:11.220 --> 00:43:12.130
NOTHING.
00:43:12.130 --> 00:43:13.010
YET, IF YOU SAY SO, I'LL GO
00:43:13.010 --> 00:43:15.010
BACK OUT."
00:43:15.010 --> 00:43:16.230
PETER WENT OUT AND CAUGHT SO
00:43:16.230 --> 00:43:18.040
MANY FISH THAT HIS NET BEGAN TO
00:43:18.040 --> 00:43:19.160
BREAK.
00:43:19.160 --> 00:43:21.110
WHAT'S INTERESTING IS THERE
00:43:21.110 --> 00:43:22.230
WERE NO FISH THERE THE NIGHT
00:43:22.230 --> 00:43:24.040
BEFORE, BUT GOD CONTROLS THE
00:43:24.040 --> 00:43:26.010
FISH.
00:43:26.010 --> 00:43:28.240
HE DOESN'T HAVE TO WAIT FOR THE
00:43:28.240 --> 00:43:29.160
RIGHT TIME, THE RIGHT SEASON,
00:43:29.160 --> 00:43:31.210
THE WAY IT NORMALLY HAPPENS.
00:43:31.210 --> 00:43:32.220
GOD CAN BREAK THE RULES.
00:43:32.220 --> 00:43:34.120
HE CAN DO IT A NON-TRADITIONAL
00:43:34.120 --> 00:43:37.070
WAY AT AN INOPPORTUNE TIME --
00:43:37.070 --> 00:43:38.280
WHEN THE PROPERTY WAS SOLD OUT
00:43:38.280 --> 00:43:40.240
FROM UNDER YOU, WHEN YOU'VE
00:43:40.240 --> 00:43:42.020
STRUGGLED WITH AN ADDICTION FOR
00:43:42.020 --> 00:43:43.070
YEARS.
00:43:43.070 --> 00:43:44.290
SHOULDN'T HAVE HAPPENED, YOU
00:43:44.290 --> 00:43:46.060
WEREN'T NEXT IN LINE, BUT GOD
00:43:46.060 --> 00:43:47.080
SHOWED UP OUT OF SEASON.
00:43:47.080 --> 00:43:48.130
HE TURNED IT AROUND A
00:43:48.130 --> 00:43:51.110
NON-TRADITIONAL WAY.
00:43:51.110 --> 00:43:52.120
VERSE 9 SAYS PETER WAS
00:43:52.120 --> 00:43:54.200
AWESTRUCK AT THE SIZE OF THE
00:43:54.200 --> 00:43:56.070
CATCH.
00:43:56.070 --> 00:43:57.100
GOD HAS SOME BLESSINGS FOR YOU
00:43:57.100 --> 00:43:59.270
THAT ARE GOING TO LEAVE YOU
00:43:59.270 --> 00:44:01.060
AWESTRUCK.
00:44:01.210 --> 00:44:04.210
YOU CAN'T EXPLAIN IT; IT'S JUST
00:44:04.210 --> 00:44:05.130
THE GOODNESS OF GOD.
00:44:05.130 --> 00:44:06.150
IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN WHEN
00:44:06.150 --> 00:44:07.040
YOU'RE OUT OF SEASON.
00:44:07.040 --> 00:44:08.080
YOU DIDN'T SEE IT COMING,
00:44:08.080 --> 00:44:09.240
DIDN'T LOOK LIKE THE RIGHT
00:44:09.240 --> 00:44:10.230
TIME.
00:44:10.230 --> 00:44:11.220
JUST WHEN YOU THOUGHT IT'D
00:44:11.220 --> 00:44:13.010
NEVER WORK OUT, GOD'S GOING TO
00:44:13.010 --> 00:44:14.050
SURPRISE YOU.
00:44:14.050 --> 00:44:15.140
HE'S GOING TO BRING YOU A GREAT
00:44:15.140 --> 00:44:16.220
HAUL, SOMETHING THAT YOU'VE
00:44:16.220 --> 00:44:18.010
NEVER SEEN.
00:44:18.010 --> 00:44:19.010
PAUL TOLD TIMOTHY IN THE
00:44:19.010 --> 00:44:20.290
SCRIPTURE, "BE PREPARED IN
00:44:20.290 --> 00:44:22.260
SEASON AND OUT OF SEASON."
00:44:22.260 --> 00:44:25.230
HE WAS TALKING ABOUT
00:44:25.230 --> 00:44:26.280
MINISTERING, BUT THE PRINCIPLE
00:44:26.280 --> 00:44:28.120
IS STILL TRUE.
00:44:28.120 --> 00:44:29.280
STAY PREPARED IN YOUR MIND IN
00:44:29.280 --> 00:44:31.200
SEASON WHEN THINGS ARE GOING
00:44:31.200 --> 00:44:34.110
YOUR WAY AND PREPARED OUT OF
00:44:34.110 --> 00:44:36.020
SEASON WHEN THE FISH AREN'T
00:44:36.020 --> 00:44:37.160
BITING, WHEN THE MEDICAL
00:44:37.160 --> 00:44:39.150
REPORT'S NOT GOOD.
00:44:39.150 --> 00:44:40.100
WHEN YOUR FINANCES ARE DOWN,
00:44:40.100 --> 00:44:42.000
DON'T START COMPLAINING, "I
00:44:42.000 --> 00:44:43.090
DIDN'T CATCH ANYTHING LAST
00:44:43.090 --> 00:44:44.180
NIGHT."
00:44:44.180 --> 00:44:45.120
NO, GET READY FOR GOD TO SHOW
00:44:45.120 --> 00:44:46.200
UP OUT OF SEASON.
00:44:46.200 --> 00:44:49.110
THE FISH MAY NOT HAVE BEEN
00:44:49.110 --> 00:44:51.030
THERE LAST TIME; THAT DOESN'T
00:44:51.030 --> 00:44:52.070
MEAN THEY'RE NOT GOING TO BE
00:44:52.070 --> 00:44:53.090
THERE NEXT TIME.
00:44:53.090 --> 00:44:55.040
GOD KNOWS HOW TO BRING YOU WHAT
00:44:55.040 --> 00:44:56.060
YOU NEED.
00:44:56.060 --> 00:44:58.280
THE ODDS MAY BE AGAINST YOU.
00:44:58.280 --> 00:44:59.180
YOU DON'T SEE ANY SIGN OF IT.
00:44:59.180 --> 00:45:01.100
GOD IS ASKING YOU WHAT HE ASKED
00:45:01.100 --> 00:45:03.110
MOSES: IS THERE ANY LIMIT TO MY
00:45:03.110 --> 00:45:04.270
POWER?
00:45:04.270 --> 00:45:07.060
DO YOU THINK THE CONDITIONS CAN
00:45:07.060 --> 00:45:08.050
STOP ME?
00:45:08.050 --> 00:45:09.020
DO YOU THINK THINGS NOT BEING
00:45:09.020 --> 00:45:11.050
FAVORABLE CAN HOLD ME BACK?
00:45:11.050 --> 00:45:13.000
NO, I'M ASKING YOU TO TAKE THE
00:45:13.000 --> 00:45:14.190
LIMITS OFF OF GOD, GET YOUR
00:45:14.190 --> 00:45:16.000
HOPES BACK UP, START EXPECTING
00:45:16.000 --> 00:45:17.160
AGAIN.
00:45:17.160 --> 00:45:18.260
[APPLAUSE]
00:45:18.260 --> 00:45:19.120
IF YOU'LL DO THIS, I BELIEVE
00:45:19.120 --> 00:45:20.210
AND DECLARE GOD IS GOING TO
00:45:20.210 --> 00:45:23.000
BLESS YOU OUT OF SEASON.
00:45:23.000 --> 00:45:24.220
HE'S ABOUT TO DO SOMETHING
00:45:24.220 --> 00:45:26.120
UNUSUAL, OUT OF THE ORDINARY
00:45:26.120 --> 00:45:29.010
THAT YOU DIDN'T SEE COMING.
00:45:29.010 --> 00:45:30.110
IT'S GOING TO CATAPULT YOU TO
00:45:30.110 --> 00:45:32.130
THE NEXT LEVEL.
00:45:32.130 --> 00:45:33.080
YOU'RE GOING TO SUDDENLY COME
00:45:33.080 --> 00:45:34.170
INTO HEALING, PROMOTION,
00:45:34.170 --> 00:45:36.080
VINDICATION, THE RIGHT PEOPLE.
00:45:36.080 --> 00:45:38.090
[APPLAUSE]
00:45:38.090 --> 00:45:39.100
LIKE PETER, YOU'RE GOING TO
00:45:39.100 --> 00:45:40.000
LOOK BACK AND BE AWESTRUCK AT
00:45:40.000 --> 00:45:41.090
THE GOODNESS OF OUR GOD, IN
00:45:41.090 --> 00:45:43.030
JESUS' NAME.
00:45:43.030 --> 00:45:44.010
AMEN.
00:45:44.010 --> 00:45:44.280
DO YOU RECEIVE THAT TONIGHT?
00:45:44.280 --> 00:45:45.220
[APPLAUSE, CHEERS]
00:45:45.220 --> 00:45:46.150
AMEN.
00:45:46.150 --> 00:45:46.290
WELL...CAN I PRAY WITH YOU
00:45:47.130 --> 00:45:50.130
TONIGHT?
00:45:50.130 --> 00:45:52.030
MAYBE-- MAYBE THERE'S SOMEBODY
00:45:52.030 --> 00:45:52.270
THAT'S NOT HERE, TONIGHT, WITH
00:45:52.270 --> 00:45:54.070
OUR HEADS BOWED IN PRAYER.
00:45:54.070 --> 00:45:55.240
OR MAYBE SOMEBODY WATCHING AND
00:45:55.240 --> 00:45:57.180
YOU'RE NOT AT PEACE WITH GOD.
00:45:57.180 --> 00:45:59.010
YOU DON'T REALLY KNOW WHERE
00:45:59.010 --> 00:46:00.040
YOU'D SPEND ETERNITY.
00:46:00.040 --> 00:46:01.050
YOU'RE JUST FLIPPIN' BY THE
00:46:01.050 --> 00:46:01.260
CHANNELS AND YOU JUST CAME WITH
00:46:01.260 --> 00:46:03.110
SOME LOVED ONES ON THIS TOUR OF
00:46:03.110 --> 00:46:04.160
ISRAEL.
00:46:04.160 --> 00:46:06.130
BUT, I DON'T BELIEVE ANYBODY IS
00:46:06.130 --> 00:46:07.110
HEARING THIS BY ACCIDENT.
00:46:07.110 --> 00:46:08.180
GOD KNEW YOU WOULD BE HERE.
00:46:08.180 --> 00:46:09.250
HE KNEW YOU'D BE HEARING THIS.
00:46:09.250 --> 00:46:11.140
MY QUESTION IS: ARE YOU AT
00:46:11.140 --> 00:46:13.170
PEACE WITH GOD?
00:46:13.170 --> 00:46:15.000
DO YOU KNOW WHERE YOU'D SPEND
00:46:15.000 --> 00:46:16.180
ETERNITY IF YOU DIED JUST A
00:46:16.180 --> 00:46:17.230
LITTLE WHILE FROM NOW?
00:46:17.230 --> 00:46:18.280
IF NOT, I WOULD LIKE TO PRAY
00:46:18.280 --> 00:46:20.090
WITH YOU.
00:46:20.090 --> 00:46:21.060
I'M NOT HERE TO CONDEMN
00:46:21.060 --> 00:46:22.190
ANYBODY.
00:46:22.190 --> 00:46:23.250
I'M HERE TO HELP YOU FIND A NEW
00:46:23.250 --> 00:46:25.130
BEGINNING.
00:46:25.130 --> 00:46:26.180
I KNOW THIS COMES FROM A
00:46:26.180 --> 00:46:27.260
PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH
00:46:27.260 --> 00:46:28.280
JESUS CHRIST.
00:46:28.280 --> 00:46:30.260
AND IN JUST A MOMENT, IF YOU'RE
00:46:30.260 --> 00:46:32.090
NOT AT PEACE WITH THE LORD, OR
00:46:32.090 --> 00:46:33.260
MAYBE YOU ARE A CHRISTIAN BUT
00:46:33.260 --> 00:46:36.000
YOU'VE GROWN COLD TOWARD GOD
00:46:36.000 --> 00:46:38.200
AND YOU KNOW IN YOUR HEART OF
00:46:38.200 --> 00:46:40.050
HEARTS YOU NEED TO-- YOU NEED
00:46:40.050 --> 00:46:42.030
TO REDEDICATE, RECOMMIT YOUR
00:46:42.080 --> 00:46:45.080
LIFE TO THE LORD, YOU NEED A
00:46:45.080 --> 00:46:45.280
FRESH NEW START -- IF THAT'S
00:46:45.280 --> 00:46:47.160
YOU, IN JUST A MOMENT, I'M
00:46:47.160 --> 00:46:48.160
GONNA ASK YOU TO PRAY THIS
00:46:48.160 --> 00:46:50.220
PRAYER OF FAITH, AFTER ME.
00:46:50.220 --> 00:46:52.020
I CAN'T THINK OF A BETTER TIME
00:46:52.020 --> 00:46:53.010
TO DO IT THAN RIGHT NOW.
00:46:53.010 --> 00:46:53.290
THE GOOD NEWS -- GOD IS NOT MAD
00:46:53.290 --> 00:46:55.090
AT YOU.
00:46:55.090 --> 00:46:57.230
YOUR SINS HAVE ALREADY BEEN
00:46:57.230 --> 00:46:58.150
FORGIVEN.
00:46:58.150 --> 00:46:59.160
WILL YOU ACCEPT THE FREE GIFT
00:46:59.210 --> 00:47:02.230
OF CHRIST'S SALVATION TONIGHT?
00:47:02.230 --> 00:47:04.030
THE ENEMY IN YOUR THOUGHTS --
