And I like to start 0:02:04.720 --> 0:02:07.520 with something funny, and I heard about this airplane that 0:02:07.720 --> 0:02:11.400 was about to crash. There were four passengers, but only 0:02:11.480 --> 0:02:16.240 three parachutes. The first passenger said, I'm a leading heart surgeon. 0:02:16.639 --> 0:02:19.920 My patients need me. Took the first parachute and jumped. 0:02:20.360 --> 0:02:24.160 The second passenger said, I'm a rocket scientist, one of 0:02:24.160 --> 0:02:25.600 the smartest men alive. 0:02:25.840 --> 0:02:29.120 My country needs me. He took the second parachute and jumped. 0:02:29.560 --> 0:02:33.880 The third passenger, Pope John Paul said to the fourth passenger, 0:02:34.120 --> 0:02:37.480 a ten year old boy scout, son, I'm old and freil. 0:02:37.600 --> 0:02:40.919 I don't have much time left. You take the last parachute. 0:02:41.000 --> 0:02:43.440 The boy scout said, don't worry about it, sir, there 0:02:43.440 --> 0:02:47.160 are still two parachutes left. You see the smartest man alive. 0:02:47.440 --> 0:02:49.400 He just jumped out with my backpack. 0:02:50.919 --> 0:02:53.160 Hold up your Bible. Say it like you mean it. 0:02:53.720 --> 0:02:54.800 This is my Bible. 0:02:55.160 --> 0:02:57.560 I am what it says I am. I have what 0:02:57.600 --> 0:02:59.880 it says I have. I can do what it says 0:03:00.040 --> 0:03:02.640 I can do. Today I will be taught the word 0:03:02.680 --> 0:03:06.680 of God. I boldly confess. My mind is alert, my 0:03:06.800 --> 0:03:11.080 heart is receptive. I will never be the same. In Jesus' name, 0:03:11.520 --> 0:03:15.080 God bless you. I want to talk to you today 0:03:15.480 --> 0:03:20.040 about being a magnet for blessings. When you honor God 0:03:20.080 --> 0:03:23.640 with your life, when you keep him first place, God 0:03:23.720 --> 0:03:28.279 puts something on you called a commanded blessing. The commanded 0:03:28.320 --> 0:03:33.000 blessing is like a magnet. It attracts good breaks, the 0:03:33.120 --> 0:03:38.960 right people, contracts, ideas, resources, influence. You don't have to 0:03:39.000 --> 0:03:42.240 go after these things trying to make it happen in 0:03:42.280 --> 0:03:45.360 your own strength, just your own talent, hoping that. 0:03:45.240 --> 0:03:46.080 Life works out. 0:03:46.840 --> 0:03:49.760 All you've got to do is keep honoring God and 0:03:49.840 --> 0:03:53.480 the right people will find you. The right opportunities will 0:03:53.520 --> 0:03:56.920 come across your path. The favor, the wisdom, the vindication 0:03:57.200 --> 0:04:00.720 will track you down. Why you become a magnet for 0:04:00.800 --> 0:04:04.360 God's goodness. You may have seen on the news these 0:04:04.400 --> 0:04:08.680 heat seeking missiles. The military programs a target into the 0:04:08.720 --> 0:04:13.120 computer and fires the missile off. It can travel thousands 0:04:13.120 --> 0:04:17.200 of miles. The intended target can be flying in the air, 0:04:17.600 --> 0:04:20.560 zigzaging here, and they're trying to lose it. 0:04:20.600 --> 0:04:21.600 Doesn't have a chance. 0:04:21.880 --> 0:04:25.680 That heat seeking missile fallows it everywhere it goes and 0:04:25.720 --> 0:04:31.080 eventually overtakes it and accomplishes its purpose in the same way. 0:04:31.360 --> 0:04:34.960 When you keep God first place, just like that heat 0:04:35.080 --> 0:04:39.200 seeking missile finding a target, God will send blessings that 0:04:39.320 --> 0:04:43.760 chase you down, Favor that overtakes you out of nowhere, 0:04:43.880 --> 0:04:48.520 a good break. Suddenly your health improves, Suddenly you're able to. 0:04:48.480 --> 0:04:49.400 Pay your house off. 0:04:49.920 --> 0:04:53.839 Unexpectedly, a dream comes to pass. That's not a lucky break, 0:04:54.040 --> 0:04:58.200 that's not a coincidence. That's the commanded blessing on your life. 0:04:58.800 --> 0:05:03.080 Like a magnet. You're attracting the goodness of God. That's 0:05:03.120 --> 0:05:06.200 what it says in Deuteronomy chapter twenty eight. When you 0:05:06.320 --> 0:05:11.039 walk in God's ways, you make pleasing him your highest priority. 0:05:11.720 --> 0:05:15.240 All these blessings will chase you down and overtake you. 0:05:16.080 --> 0:05:20.440 One translation says you will become a magnet for blessings. 0:05:21.279 --> 0:05:25.960 That means because you're honoring God right now, something is 0:05:26.000 --> 0:05:31.360 attracted to you. Not fear sickness, depression, bad breaks, nor 0:05:31.520 --> 0:05:35.200 like a heat seeking missile. Favor is tracking you down. 0:05:35.800 --> 0:05:40.360 Promotion is headed your way. Divine connections are searching you out. 0:05:40.680 --> 0:05:44.520 You're attracting the goodness of God. Now you may be 0:05:44.600 --> 0:05:47.640 facing an illness and instead of thinking, well, I'm never 0:05:47.680 --> 0:05:50.520 gonna get well, you should see the medical report. No, 0:05:50.640 --> 0:05:55.200 your attitude should be Healing is looking for me, Restoration is. 0:05:55.120 --> 0:05:58.320 Tracking me down. You're struggling in your finances. 0:05:58.560 --> 0:06:01.560 Not I'll never get out of death. I'll never accomplish 0:06:01.600 --> 0:06:05.960 my dreams. No abundance is looking for me. Favor is 0:06:06.000 --> 0:06:10.000 in my future. Good breaks are tracking me down. You're single, 0:06:10.560 --> 0:06:11.600 I'll never get married. 0:06:12.000 --> 0:06:13.640 I'm too old. It's been too long. 0:06:13.720 --> 0:06:13.880 You know. 0:06:14.000 --> 0:06:17.760 The right person is looking for me. Divine connections are 0:06:17.800 --> 0:06:21.880 tracking me down. They're already in my future like a magnet. 0:06:21.920 --> 0:06:22.840 I'm drawing them in. 0:06:23.880 --> 0:06:27.480 When I look back over my life, most of the favor, 0:06:27.920 --> 0:06:30.080 most of the good breaks, I. 0:06:30.000 --> 0:06:32.120 Didn't go after them. They came to me. 0:06:32.960 --> 0:06:36.760 I was simply honoring God being my best, and God 0:06:36.800 --> 0:06:38.440 did more than I could ask or think. 0:06:39.320 --> 0:06:41.240 I never thought I could get up in front of 0:06:41.240 --> 0:06:42.159 people in minister. 0:06:43.160 --> 0:06:46.599 I spent seventeen years behind the scenes here at Lakewood 0:06:46.920 --> 0:06:50.719 doing the television production. Now, I'm not bragging, but during 0:06:50.720 --> 0:06:52.080 those seventeen years. 0:06:51.839 --> 0:06:54.280 I was faithful. I gave it my awe. 0:06:54.600 --> 0:06:57.680 I made my father look the best I possibly could, 0:06:58.320 --> 0:07:01.400 go the extra mile to make sure the lighting was perfect, 0:07:01.880 --> 0:07:05.479 camera angles were just right. I would even go over 0:07:05.560 --> 0:07:08.800 to my parents' house every Saturday night and pick out 0:07:08.839 --> 0:07:11.320 a suit and a tie for my father to wear 0:07:11.680 --> 0:07:14.760 the next day on television. My mother would say, Joel, 0:07:15.080 --> 0:07:17.560 Dad is a grown man. You don't need to come 0:07:17.600 --> 0:07:20.120 over every week. He can pick out his own clothes. 0:07:21.080 --> 0:07:23.480 Problem is, I had seen what my father. 0:07:23.360 --> 0:07:26.360 Picked out before him. Let's just say he liked. 0:07:26.280 --> 0:07:29.480 A lot of color, and I wanted that broadcast to 0:07:29.520 --> 0:07:33.520 be perfect. I wasn't looking for this position. I was 0:07:33.640 --> 0:07:34.960 content where I was. 0:07:34.960 --> 0:07:35.920 Behind the scenes. 0:07:36.440 --> 0:07:38.560 But when my father went to be with the Lord, 0:07:39.000 --> 0:07:40.960 this opportunity came looking for me. 0:07:41.680 --> 0:07:44.160 Never planned on doing it, but it chased me down. 0:07:45.400 --> 0:07:48.920 God's dream for your life is so much bigger than 0:07:48.960 --> 0:07:49.440 your own. 0:07:49.960 --> 0:07:51.440 If you will keep being your. 0:07:51.360 --> 0:07:55.160 Best right where you are, you will come into favor, promotion, 0:07:55.640 --> 0:07:59.200 opportunity bigger than you ever imagined. You won't have to 0:07:59.240 --> 0:08:02.600 go after it. It will come to you because. 0:08:02.160 --> 0:08:04.840 You're honoring God. Like a magnet, you'll draw it in. 0:08:05.960 --> 0:08:08.560 When I was in my early twenties, I walked into 0:08:08.640 --> 0:08:11.920 a jewelry store and met Victoria for the first time. 0:08:12.760 --> 0:08:15.240 Like a magnet, she couldn't keep her hands off of me. 0:08:17.680 --> 0:08:20.760 This is my side of the story anyway. But we 0:08:20.800 --> 0:08:23.520 went out on our first date and had so much fun. 0:08:23.600 --> 0:08:25.080 Actually, here at the Compact center. 0:08:25.440 --> 0:08:28.040 The next week, she invited me to come to our 0:08:28.080 --> 0:08:30.160 house and have dinner, and we laughed and had a 0:08:30.200 --> 0:08:33.400 great time. I called her the next day at work 0:08:33.480 --> 0:08:35.760 to thank her, but she was busy and. 0:08:35.760 --> 0:08:36.640 Not able to talk. 0:08:37.160 --> 0:08:39.520 Called her that evening at home and she wasn't there. 0:08:39.960 --> 0:08:42.320 Called her the next day, and the next, and the 0:08:42.360 --> 0:08:45.120 next and the next, but she was always either busy 0:08:45.559 --> 0:08:49.199 not available, but for some reason she couldn't talk. Finally 0:08:49.240 --> 0:08:52.000 I got the message, she's avoiding me. She doesn't want 0:08:52.000 --> 0:08:54.000 to see me. I thought, that's fine, I won't call 0:08:54.040 --> 0:08:57.840 her anymore. About two weeks later, I was sitting in 0:08:57.880 --> 0:09:01.920 a little diner eating breakfast early one morning, all by myself, 0:09:02.320 --> 0:09:05.800 and Victoria comes walking in. She saw my car out 0:09:05.800 --> 0:09:07.959 in the parking lot, and she came and sat at 0:09:07.960 --> 0:09:10.000 the table and said, Joe, I'm so sorry I keep 0:09:10.040 --> 0:09:13.160 missing all of your calls. She came back to her 0:09:13.240 --> 0:09:21.280 senses and came looking for me. She ate breakfast and 0:09:21.320 --> 0:09:25.440 then made me pay for it. But friends, God has 0:09:25.520 --> 0:09:29.400 the right people in your future. When you honor God 0:09:29.760 --> 0:09:33.880 like a magnet the person God's designed for you, the 0:09:34.040 --> 0:09:37.319 right one will come across your path. You don't have 0:09:37.400 --> 0:09:40.560 to worry You don't have to play games and try 0:09:40.559 --> 0:09:42.360 to convince somebody to like you. 0:09:42.679 --> 0:09:45.560 If they don't like you, let them go. If they 0:09:45.600 --> 0:09:47.200 don't celebrate. 0:09:46.679 --> 0:09:50.840 You and see you as a gift, a treasure, as one. 0:09:50.720 --> 0:09:51.280 Of a kind. 0:09:52.080 --> 0:09:52.760 Move forward. 0:09:55.120 --> 0:09:58.400 Don't hang on to things that are not attracted to you. 0:09:59.200 --> 0:10:01.960 The right one will not be able to live without you. 0:10:02.520 --> 0:10:05.240 The one God designed will think you're the greatest thing 0:10:05.280 --> 0:10:08.360 in the world. You keep being your best right where 0:10:08.400 --> 0:10:11.160 you are, honoring God, and God will do for you 0:10:11.240 --> 0:10:12.160 what he did for me. 0:10:12.640 --> 0:10:15.200 He'll cause you to be at the right place at 0:10:15.200 --> 0:10:15.959 the right time. 0:10:16.160 --> 0:10:20.280 Those divine connections will come across your path. But what 0:10:20.440 --> 0:10:23.800 God has planned for you is much bigger than anything 0:10:23.880 --> 0:10:26.679 you've ever dreamed of. If God were to show you 0:10:26.800 --> 0:10:31.040 right now where He's taken you, the favor, the promotion, 0:10:31.440 --> 0:10:34.880 the influence, it would boggle your mind. You may think, 0:10:34.960 --> 0:10:37.840 like I did, that you're not the most qualified. You 0:10:37.840 --> 0:10:41.280 don't have the personality, the talent. That's okay, it's not 0:10:41.400 --> 0:10:45.280 going to happen just because of your talent, your personality, 0:10:45.520 --> 0:10:48.560 your hard work. It's going to happen because of the 0:10:48.640 --> 0:10:53.240 commanded blessing on your life. God's anointing on you is 0:10:53.320 --> 0:10:56.720 more important than your talent, your education, than what family 0:10:56.800 --> 0:11:00.360 you come from. You can have less talent, but with 0:11:00.440 --> 0:11:03.520 the favor of God, you will go further than people 0:11:03.679 --> 0:11:06.480 that have much more talent. You may not see how 0:11:06.480 --> 0:11:10.000 this can happen. Does it seem possible? You don't have 0:11:10.080 --> 0:11:12.680 to figure it out. If you'll just keep being your 0:11:12.720 --> 0:11:15.480 best right where you are, getting to work on time, 0:11:15.679 --> 0:11:18.120 doing more than you have to, being a person of 0:11:18.200 --> 0:11:22.480 excellence and integrity, the right people will find you. The 0:11:22.600 --> 0:11:24.199 right opportunities will. 0:11:24.040 --> 0:11:24.760 Track you down. 0:11:26.040 --> 0:11:30.240 Now, don't be frustrated if it doesn't happen on your timetable. 0:11:30.800 --> 0:11:32.360 You've got to pass some tests. 0:11:32.960 --> 0:11:35.839 You've got to prove to God that you'll be faithful 0:11:36.040 --> 0:11:39.880 right where you are. If you're not faithful in the wilderness, 0:11:40.240 --> 0:11:42.640 how can God trust you to be faithful in the 0:11:42.679 --> 0:11:43.439 promised land. 0:11:44.240 --> 0:11:46.520 You've got to keep a good attitude when you're not 0:11:46.559 --> 0:11:47.800 getting your way. 0:11:47.880 --> 0:11:50.240 You've got to be your best when you're not getting 0:11:50.320 --> 0:11:54.560 any credit. Do the right thing when it's difficult. That's 0:11:54.640 --> 0:11:58.200 when your character is being developed. If you will pass 0:11:58.240 --> 0:12:01.520 these tests, you can be certain God will get you 0:12:01.600 --> 0:12:04.760 to where you're supposed to be. The right people are 0:12:04.800 --> 0:12:09.000 in your future, the right opportunities, the good breaks, the wisdom, 0:12:09.080 --> 0:12:10.640 the contracts, the houses. 0:12:10.960 --> 0:12:14.760 God said, no good thing will he withhold because you 0:12:14.800 --> 0:12:15.600 walk up rightly. 0:12:16.320 --> 0:12:19.920 I've learned one touch of God's favor can take you 0:12:20.040 --> 0:12:22.880 in a split second further than you could go in 0:12:22.960 --> 0:12:26.240 your whole lifetime on your own. Quit thinking, oh, I'm 0:12:26.240 --> 0:12:30.160 getting behind, I'll never accomplish my dreams. No, God has 0:12:30.320 --> 0:12:35.520 explosive blessings in your future. He has blessings that will thrust. 0:12:35.120 --> 0:12:36.560 You years and years ahead. 0:12:37.559 --> 0:12:39.840 Now you say, Joel, this all sounds good, but I 0:12:39.840 --> 0:12:42.480 don't really have the talent, I don't know the right people, 0:12:42.600 --> 0:12:43.640 I don't have the money. 0:12:43.960 --> 0:12:45.560 That's okay, God does. 0:12:46.160 --> 0:12:50.480 He's already lined up everything you need. There are good 0:12:50.559 --> 0:12:53.679 breaks right now that have your name on it. There 0:12:53.720 --> 0:12:57.240 are contracts, buildings, businesses that have your name on it. 0:12:57.640 --> 0:13:02.120 There are ideas, inventions, books, movies, songs. 0:13:01.760 --> 0:13:02.920 That have your name on it. 0:13:03.520 --> 0:13:06.640 As you keep honoring God being your best, like that 0:13:06.720 --> 0:13:09.679 magnet you're going to draw in what already has your 0:13:09.760 --> 0:13:12.400 name on it? When is this going to happen at 0:13:12.440 --> 0:13:16.240 the exact right time If it hasn't happened yet, don't 0:13:16.240 --> 0:13:17.080 get discouraged. 0:13:17.200 --> 0:13:18.400 God knows what he's doing. 0:13:19.040 --> 0:13:21.360 If it would have happened earlier, it wouldn't have been 0:13:21.400 --> 0:13:25.440 the best time. Just keep being faithful right where you are, 0:13:25.760 --> 0:13:29.200 and keep living with this attitude that something good is 0:13:29.240 --> 0:13:32.960 coming your way. When you do that, like a magnet, 0:13:33.040 --> 0:13:35.800 you're going to draw in what already has your name 0:13:35.840 --> 0:13:36.120 on it. 0:13:36.840 --> 0:13:38.720 There's healing with your name on it. 0:13:39.400 --> 0:13:41.959 You single people, there's a husband a wife with your 0:13:42.000 --> 0:13:44.960 name on it. Some of you couples are believing to 0:13:44.960 --> 0:13:47.679 have a child. There's a baby with your name on it. 0:13:48.040 --> 0:13:52.079 God has already chosen them to be yours. You pastors, leaders, 0:13:52.200 --> 0:13:55.400 you need a larger auditorium. There's a new sanctuary with 0:13:55.440 --> 0:13:58.320 your name on it. There's a business with your name 0:13:58.360 --> 0:14:01.200 on it. There's a number one movie with your name 0:14:01.240 --> 0:14:04.120 on it. There's an invention that will touch the world 0:14:04.240 --> 0:14:04.680 with your. 0:14:04.640 --> 0:14:05.160 Name on it. 0:14:05.760 --> 0:14:08.880 Now here's the whole key. You don't have to seek 0:14:08.920 --> 0:14:13.040 the blessing. Seek God, and the blessings will seek after you. 0:14:13.880 --> 0:14:17.160 This is where we miss it. Very often. We think 0:14:17.679 --> 0:14:20.120 I got to get this promotion, I got to meet 0:14:20.160 --> 0:14:23.400 this person, I gotta get my career going faster. Joel 0:14:23.920 --> 0:14:27.280 and yes, we have to use our talent, be determined, 0:14:27.320 --> 0:14:30.600 take steps of faith. But you can stay in peace. 0:14:30.960 --> 0:14:34.800 You can live at rest knowing that because you're honoring God, 0:14:35.160 --> 0:14:39.040 the right people will find you. The right opportunities will 0:14:39.080 --> 0:14:43.960 track you down. Proverbs thirteen says the wealth of the 0:14:44.080 --> 0:14:48.840 ungodly will eventually find its way into the hands of 0:14:48.880 --> 0:14:52.920 the righteous, for whom it has been laid up for. Notice, 0:14:53.000 --> 0:14:56.480 because you're the righteous, there's something God has laid up 0:14:56.520 --> 0:14:56.920 for you. 0:14:57.680 --> 0:14:58.720 The good news is. 0:14:58.760 --> 0:15:02.600 At the right time. Eventually it's going to find you. 0:15:03.600 --> 0:15:07.840 That means right now, something's looking for you, not defeat, struggle, lack. 0:15:08.000 --> 0:15:08.960 You are the righteous. 0:15:09.200 --> 0:15:12.560 Favor is looking for you, good breaks are looking for you, 0:15:12.880 --> 0:15:14.200 healing is looking for you. 0:15:14.760 --> 0:15:16.200 Influence is looking for you. 0:15:16.840 --> 0:15:17.040 Now. 0:15:17.080 --> 0:15:20.000 You may not have seen it yet, but don't get discouraged. 0:15:20.120 --> 0:15:25.000 Keep honoring God, and he promises some of these eventuallyes 0:15:25.240 --> 0:15:29.120 are going to track you down. This beautiful facility the 0:15:29.200 --> 0:15:30.400 form of Compact Center. 0:15:30.680 --> 0:15:31.560 You know what this is. 0:15:31.960 --> 0:15:35.560 And eventually it was laid up for us. It had 0:15:35.560 --> 0:15:37.760 our name on it, and at the right time it 0:15:37.880 --> 0:15:41.400 found us. This building was built back in the early 0:15:41.480 --> 0:15:45.480 nineteen seventies. It was first called the Summit. Then they 0:15:45.560 --> 0:15:48.800 changed the name to the Compact Center. But I believe 0:15:49.040 --> 0:15:51.880 if you would appeal back the names. When it was 0:15:51.920 --> 0:15:54.840 built way back then, you looked underneath, you would have 0:15:54.840 --> 0:15:56.440 seen the name Lakewood Church. 0:15:57.280 --> 0:15:59.520 God had us in mind when they built it. 0:16:00.560 --> 0:16:03.320 Eventually, God said, all right, it's time to hand it over. 0:16:04.160 --> 0:16:04.520 Friends. 0:16:04.560 --> 0:16:08.160 There are some eventuallyes in your future. The great thing 0:16:08.280 --> 0:16:09.920 is you don't have to go after them. 0:16:10.240 --> 0:16:11.200 Just go after God. 0:16:11.720 --> 0:16:15.440 Keep him first place, live a life of excellence and integrity, 0:16:15.720 --> 0:16:19.400 and God promises the eventuallyes will find. 0:16:19.120 --> 0:16:20.840 Their way into your hands. 0:16:21.360 --> 0:16:25.120 This is what Jesus said, Seek first the kingdom, and 0:16:25.280 --> 0:16:28.920 all these things will be added under you. Everything you 0:16:29.040 --> 0:16:32.480 need to fulfill your destiny has already been laid up 0:16:32.520 --> 0:16:35.640 for you. Now you just have to make pleasing God 0:16:35.920 --> 0:16:37.160 your highest priority. 0:16:37.600 --> 0:16:40.040 In other words, before you give into. 0:16:39.800 --> 0:16:43.200 Temptation, No, I'm going to please God and walk away. 0:16:43.560 --> 0:16:45.160 I want to fulfill my destiny. 0:16:45.240 --> 0:16:48.720 I want to come into my eventualies. Before you tell 0:16:48.760 --> 0:16:51.680 that person off, No, I'm gonna please God and keep 0:16:51.720 --> 0:16:55.080 my mouth closed at the office. They're not treating you right. 0:16:55.240 --> 0:16:58.240 You feel like slacking off. No, I'm gonna please God 0:16:58.480 --> 0:17:01.160 and keep being my best I know I'm not working 0:17:01.240 --> 0:17:01.800 under people. 0:17:01.920 --> 0:17:03.000 I'm working under God. 0:17:03.600 --> 0:17:06.480 You live like that, and all the forces of darkness 0:17:06.640 --> 0:17:10.879 cannot keep you from your destiny. The amazing thing about 0:17:10.880 --> 0:17:13.880 this building is I didn't go after it. 0:17:13.880 --> 0:17:14.600 It came to me. 0:17:15.680 --> 0:17:19.040 I tried to buy land twice and build a new sanctuary, 0:17:19.560 --> 0:17:22.840 but both times the property was sold out from under us. 0:17:23.440 --> 0:17:26.119 I thought we're stuck. There's no more room, there's no 0:17:26.200 --> 0:17:26.800 way to grow. 0:17:27.560 --> 0:17:30.679 But one day an old friend out of the blue, 0:17:30.880 --> 0:17:34.000 unexpectedly called and said he wanted to talk to me 0:17:34.040 --> 0:17:34.800 about something. 0:17:35.320 --> 0:17:36.199 We had lunch. 0:17:36.560 --> 0:17:40.240 He said, Joel, the Houston Rockets basketball team is about 0:17:40.280 --> 0:17:42.760 to move out of the Compact Center. That would be 0:17:42.840 --> 0:17:47.399 a great facility for Lakewood. When he said that, something 0:17:47.440 --> 0:17:50.359 came alive on the inside. Now I never dreamed we 0:17:50.400 --> 0:17:54.080 could have something this beautiful, the premier facility in the 0:17:54.200 --> 0:17:57.800 fourth largest city in America, the second busiest. 0:17:57.320 --> 0:18:00.320 Freeway in the nation. Just like with US US. 0:18:00.600 --> 0:18:03.399 The eventually is God has lined up for you are 0:18:03.440 --> 0:18:04.760 going to boggle your mind. 0:18:05.160 --> 0:18:07.720 It's going to be more than you can ask or think. 0:18:08.280 --> 0:18:09.680 God has not only. 0:18:09.480 --> 0:18:12.960 Already arranged them, he's taking it one step further. He's 0:18:13.080 --> 0:18:16.800 already put your name on them. They've already been marked 0:18:16.880 --> 0:18:19.280 as a part of your divine destiny. 0:18:19.400 --> 0:18:23.639 What's your part? Worry? Struggle, Try to make it happen. 0:18:24.200 --> 0:18:27.159 Manipulate this person, maybe they'll do me a favor. 0:18:27.480 --> 0:18:29.119 No, you don't have to play up to people. 0:18:29.520 --> 0:18:32.399 I have to beg people, hope that they'll throw you 0:18:32.480 --> 0:18:35.080 a crumb here or there. You are not a beggar. 0:18:35.359 --> 0:18:39.399 You are a child of the most tied God. You 0:18:39.600 --> 0:18:42.200 have royal blood flowing through your veins. 0:18:42.800 --> 0:18:45.160 You are wearing a crown of favor. 0:18:45.880 --> 0:18:49.639 God has called you, equipped you, empowered you, chosen you 0:18:49.760 --> 0:18:52.720 the creator of the universe. All you've got to do 0:18:53.200 --> 0:18:56.600 is keep honoring God and the blessings will find you. 0:18:57.359 --> 0:19:00.400 The right people will show up, the ones that want 0:19:00.400 --> 0:19:03.960 to help you. The good breaks, the businesses, the contracts 0:19:04.119 --> 0:19:08.440 will track you down. One phone call, one person God 0:19:08.520 --> 0:19:11.120 has ordained to help you can change. 0:19:10.800 --> 0:19:13.359 The course of your life. How is this going to happen? 0:19:13.720 --> 0:19:16.320 Just your talent, your ability, your hard work. 0:19:16.400 --> 0:19:19.600 That's part of it. But the main key is by 0:19:19.640 --> 0:19:23.159 honoring God. That's what puts you in a position for 0:19:23.280 --> 0:19:26.359 His blessings to overtake you. That's what makes you a 0:19:26.600 --> 0:19:30.960 magnet for his favor, and I know today I'm looking at. 0:19:30.800 --> 0:19:34.040 A lot of strong, powerful magnets. 0:19:34.359 --> 0:19:37.920 Some of you are very close to attracting what you've 0:19:37.960 --> 0:19:39.640 been praying and believing for. 0:19:40.280 --> 0:19:44.880 You've honored God, you've been faithful. Now God is about. 0:19:44.600 --> 0:19:47.639 To release and eventually in your life, it's going to 0:19:47.680 --> 0:19:51.000 be bigger than you imagine. When you meet that person, 0:19:51.119 --> 0:19:53.480 they're going to be better for you than you ever 0:19:53.600 --> 0:19:56.920 dreamed of. You waited a long time, but when they 0:19:56.960 --> 0:19:58.760 show up, you're going to say you were. 0:19:58.640 --> 0:19:59.720 Well worth the way. 0:20:01.040 --> 0:20:03.720 Well, Joel, you're just getting everybody's hopes up today. 0:20:03.880 --> 0:20:04.360 You're right. 0:20:04.600 --> 0:20:08.200 You can't have faith if you don't first have hope. 0:20:08.200 --> 0:20:12.199 Some of you, some of you have gotten stuck in 0:20:12.280 --> 0:20:15.359 a rut. God's been good to you. You've got a 0:20:15.359 --> 0:20:18.560 good family, a good job. You've seen God's blessings. But 0:20:18.640 --> 0:20:22.080 let me tell you, you haven't seen anything yet. You haven't 0:20:22.080 --> 0:20:25.520 touched the surface of what God has in store. Don't 0:20:25.640 --> 0:20:27.800 become complacent thinking that. 0:20:27.760 --> 0:20:29.200 You've seen your best days. 0:20:29.640 --> 0:20:34.399 God never performs his greatest feats in our yesterdays. You 0:20:34.480 --> 0:20:37.560 may have seen God's goodness in the past, but it's 0:20:37.640 --> 0:20:40.520 nothing compared to what God is about to show you. 0:20:41.280 --> 0:20:43.880 Some of you are going to write a book, a. 0:20:43.920 --> 0:20:46.679 Movie, a song that will touch the world. 0:20:47.200 --> 0:20:49.240 The idea will come to you, you don't have to 0:20:49.240 --> 0:20:51.840 go after it. Some of you are going to start 0:20:51.880 --> 0:20:55.399 a business that will become a global force. Some of 0:20:55.440 --> 0:20:58.200 you are going to have a ministry that will shape nations. 0:20:58.760 --> 0:21:00.879 Some of you will raise a child that will become 0:21:00.880 --> 0:21:05.360 a president, a world leader, a history maker. The eventuallyes 0:21:05.560 --> 0:21:09.080 God has in your future are going to boggle your mind. 0:21:09.480 --> 0:21:11.159 It's like nothing you've seen before. 0:21:11.760 --> 0:21:14.800 God has raised you up to take new ground for 0:21:14.880 --> 0:21:17.320 the kingdom to go where others have not gone. 0:21:17.640 --> 0:21:20.600 Dream big, believe big, pray big. 0:21:21.240 --> 0:21:24.160 Make room for God to do something new in your life. 0:21:24.320 --> 0:21:26.520 If you would have told me years ago that one 0:21:26.600 --> 0:21:29.800 day I would be ministering around the world and have 0:21:29.920 --> 0:21:33.280 books translated into different languages, I would have thought, not me. 0:21:33.400 --> 0:21:36.679 I don't have anything to say. But God knows what 0:21:36.800 --> 0:21:40.160 He's put in you. The gifts, the talents, the potential. 0:21:40.440 --> 0:21:44.440 You have seeds of greatness on the inside. Because you're 0:21:44.480 --> 0:21:48.000 honoring God, He's going to open doors that no man 0:21:48.080 --> 0:21:50.840 can shut. He's going to bring talent out of you 0:21:51.000 --> 0:21:53.640 that you didn't know you had. He's going to connect 0:21:53.640 --> 0:21:57.800 you with the right people, present you with opportunities that will. 0:21:57.560 --> 0:22:00.000 Thrust you into a new level of your destiny. 0:22:00.080 --> 0:22:03.600 Me in two thousand and four, we were holding one 0:22:03.640 --> 0:22:06.359 of our first Night of Hope events in Madison Square 0:22:06.359 --> 0:22:09.720 Garden in New York City. Earlier that year, I had 0:22:09.760 --> 0:22:12.320 written my first book and it was doing really well. 0:22:12.960 --> 0:22:15.440 That night, there was a publisher from one of the 0:22:15.600 --> 0:22:19.440 largest publishing companies in the world walking by the garden 0:22:19.760 --> 0:22:22.159 on his way to the train station to go home. 0:22:22.720 --> 0:22:24.800 He saw all the people lined up to go into 0:22:24.840 --> 0:22:28.199 the arena. He'd seen people going to basketball games and 0:22:28.280 --> 0:22:31.480 concerts before, but he said he had never seen people 0:22:31.520 --> 0:22:35.639 that excited about going to a meeting. He asked people 0:22:35.720 --> 0:22:37.680 what was going on. They told him it was our. 0:22:37.640 --> 0:22:38.760 Night of Hope. 0:22:38.880 --> 0:22:42.600 The next morning, first thing, he called his main literary 0:22:42.680 --> 0:22:46.880 agent and asked if she knew me Joel Ostein. She said, 0:22:46.920 --> 0:22:49.120 I don't know him personally, but seen his book, seen 0:22:49.200 --> 0:22:49.960 him on television. 0:22:50.520 --> 0:22:52.200 He said, you need to find. 0:22:51.960 --> 0:22:55.399 Him because I'm going to publish his next book. She 0:22:55.560 --> 0:22:57.800 tracked me down set up a meeting. He made an 0:22:57.840 --> 0:23:01.480 offer that boggled my mind. That I couldn't refused. That 0:23:01.640 --> 0:23:06.680 company preprinted more copies of my book than any book 0:23:06.720 --> 0:23:09.679 they had ever published in the company's history. That's what 0:23:09.880 --> 0:23:13.840 happens when you simply honor God. He'll cause people to 0:23:13.920 --> 0:23:16.560 be at the right place at the right time. 0:23:17.240 --> 0:23:20.040 You won't have to seek them out. They'll seek you out. 0:23:20.680 --> 0:23:23.440 Well, Joel, that's cause you're on television. You had that book, 0:23:23.480 --> 0:23:25.680 you got all this gold. No, don't talk to yourself 0:23:25.680 --> 0:23:29.080 out of it. Because you honor God, you have the 0:23:29.119 --> 0:23:32.719 same commanded blessing on your life just like that. 0:23:32.840 --> 0:23:35.160 He's seeking missile finding a target. 0:23:36.359 --> 0:23:40.640 Right now, God has favor tracking you down. Good breaks 0:23:40.680 --> 0:23:43.720 are looking for you, divine connections, the right. 0:23:43.600 --> 0:23:45.040 People are in your future. 0:23:46.160 --> 0:23:48.520 When my father was alive, Victoria and I used to 0:23:48.560 --> 0:23:50.840 go to India with him a couple of times a year. 0:23:51.520 --> 0:23:54.320 One time we met this young pastor that came from 0:23:54.359 --> 0:23:59.080 an extremely poor family. They didn't have electricity or running water. 0:23:59.359 --> 0:24:02.240 They lived out in this open field, in this little 0:24:02.320 --> 0:24:05.240 hut that they had built. The men next door was 0:24:05.359 --> 0:24:09.119 very wealthy. He owned a huge farm, had thousands of 0:24:09.240 --> 0:24:12.560 cattle and all these different crops, and he would sell 0:24:12.640 --> 0:24:16.440 milk and vegetables to the village people, but he was 0:24:16.520 --> 0:24:18.919 kind of greedy and charged more than he should. 0:24:19.000 --> 0:24:20.240 Many people couldn't afford it. 0:24:21.080 --> 0:24:24.000 One day, about ten of his cows got out and 0:24:24.119 --> 0:24:26.520 came over to the little hut where the pastor and 0:24:26.600 --> 0:24:30.000 his family lived. Having a cow was a big deal. 0:24:30.600 --> 0:24:33.879 You could have milk and other products to sell to people. 0:24:34.480 --> 0:24:36.920 The workers came and got those ten cows put them 0:24:36.920 --> 0:24:39.439 back in the owner's fence. The next day, the same 0:24:39.560 --> 0:24:41.520 ten cows got out came back over. 0:24:41.880 --> 0:24:44.760 This happened again and again and again. 0:24:45.040 --> 0:24:48.680 The owner got so frustrated he told his workers tell 0:24:48.720 --> 0:24:52.720 the pasture he can have those ten cows given to him. 0:24:52.520 --> 0:24:55.040 As a gift. That pastor was so thrilled. 0:24:55.400 --> 0:24:58.760 He started selling milk and other dairy products to the 0:24:58.800 --> 0:25:01.920 people in the village, but he sold them for much less. 0:25:02.560 --> 0:25:04.000 Before long, people. 0:25:03.760 --> 0:25:06.399 Were lined up at his door. He was able to 0:25:06.440 --> 0:25:10.320 buy more cows. His business kept growing so much so 0:25:10.800 --> 0:25:13.840 that that other owner came over and said, you're putting. 0:25:13.560 --> 0:25:14.400 Me out of business. 0:25:14.760 --> 0:25:17.160 I can't compete with you. Why don't you take over 0:25:17.240 --> 0:25:21.680 my company. This pastor purchased his company for a fraction 0:25:21.880 --> 0:25:26.280 of its value, and today he has a very successful company. 0:25:26.480 --> 0:25:28.080 With several hundred employees. 0:25:28.600 --> 0:25:31.800 But it all started when those cows came looking for 0:25:31.920 --> 0:25:33.440 him and wouldn't go home. 0:25:33.760 --> 0:25:37.160 What is that? Like a magnet? He attracted the goodness 0:25:37.160 --> 0:25:37.560 of God. 0:25:38.640 --> 0:25:41.760 Now you don't have to worry about how it's all 0:25:41.800 --> 0:25:42.560 going to work out. 0:25:42.960 --> 0:25:45.480 God knows how to have the cows find you. 0:25:46.320 --> 0:25:48.840 What has your name on it, the real estate, the 0:25:48.880 --> 0:25:52.679 good breaks, the businesses. The favor will eventually find this 0:25:52.800 --> 0:25:56.840 way into your hands. Proverbs puts it this way. Trouble 0:25:56.960 --> 0:26:01.480 chases sinners, but blessings chase the right. You are the 0:26:01.560 --> 0:26:05.879 righteous right now, Favor is chasing you, Promotion is chasing you, 0:26:06.240 --> 0:26:07.840 Healing is chasing you. 0:26:08.000 --> 0:26:11.040 Cows are looking for you. Victory is coming your way. 0:26:12.680 --> 0:26:15.840 I don't ever say I'll never get out of debt, Joel, 0:26:16.359 --> 0:26:19.639 I'll never get married, I'll never be well again. 0:26:20.000 --> 0:26:20.960 You know what that's doing. 0:26:21.280 --> 0:26:26.760 Demagnetizing your magnet. It's taken away the attraction power. I 0:26:26.880 --> 0:26:28.800 used to have a magnet when I was growing up 0:26:28.800 --> 0:26:30.480 that I played with when I was a little boy. 0:26:31.080 --> 0:26:34.320 One day I woke up and the magnet had no power. 0:26:35.000 --> 0:26:37.919 I had left it by something that had demagnetized. It 0:26:37.960 --> 0:26:41.199 looked the same but it wouldn't attract anything in the 0:26:41.280 --> 0:26:45.080 same way when we dwell on negative can't do it 0:26:45.560 --> 0:26:48.879 not able to never going to happen, thoughts. That is 0:26:48.960 --> 0:26:53.600 demagnetizing our magnet. You are taking away its power to 0:26:53.720 --> 0:26:56.480 pull in what belongs to you. 0:26:56.480 --> 0:26:58.760 You know what I'm doing today, I'm helping you to 0:26:58.840 --> 0:27:01.080 turn up the power on your magnet. 0:27:01.520 --> 0:27:04.639 When you realize God has put a commanded blessing on 0:27:04.760 --> 0:27:07.600 your life, you go out each day with the attitude 0:27:07.640 --> 0:27:10.680 that something good is going to happen to you. That's 0:27:10.720 --> 0:27:15.040 when God can do exceedingly abundantly above and beyond, and 0:27:15.080 --> 0:27:17.520 every one of you can look back over your life 0:27:18.000 --> 0:27:21.959 and remember a time like I can, where you unexpectedly 0:27:22.160 --> 0:27:25.240 saw God's favor. You didn't go after it, it came 0:27:25.320 --> 0:27:28.800 after you. God has done it in the past. The 0:27:28.800 --> 0:27:31.320 good news is He's not only going to do it 0:27:31.359 --> 0:27:34.120 again in the future, but what He's going to show 0:27:34.200 --> 0:27:36.800 you is going to pale in comparison to. 0:27:36.720 --> 0:27:38.040 What you've seen in the past. 0:27:38.400 --> 0:27:41.920 God has explosive blessings come in your way. They are 0:27:41.960 --> 0:27:45.200 going to thrust you to a level greater than you've imagined. 0:27:45.400 --> 0:27:47.320 You're going to look back and say, like I do. 0:27:47.480 --> 0:27:49.560 How in the world did I get here. I'm not 0:27:49.600 --> 0:27:52.120 the most qualified, the most talented. I don't have all 0:27:52.160 --> 0:27:56.159 the experience. You may not, but God does. He knows 0:27:56.200 --> 0:27:58.679 how to get you to where you're supposed to be. Now, 0:27:58.680 --> 0:28:03.320 I believe and declare today because you're honoring God, because 0:28:03.359 --> 0:28:07.360 you're keeping him first place. The power of your magnet 0:28:07.480 --> 0:28:13.080 is being turned up. You're about to draw in good breaks, promotion, healing, 0:28:13.520 --> 0:28:19.320 favor ideas, contracts, creativity. God is about to release what 0:28:19.480 --> 0:28:20.840 already has your name on it. 0:28:21.240 --> 0:28:23.240 You're not going to have to go after it. It's 0:28:23.280 --> 0:28:24.280 going to come after you. 0:28:24.520 --> 0:28:26.959 It's going to be bigger than you imagined. It's going 0:28:27.000 --> 0:28:29.960 to happen sooner than you thought. You're about to step 0:28:29.960 --> 0:28:33.960 into the fullness of your destiny and become everything God's 0:28:34.000 --> 0:28:34.800 created you to be. 0:28:35.240 --> 0:28:38.080 In Jesus' name, if you receive it, can you say 0:28:38.120 --> 0:28:38.720 him in today? 0:28:40.440 --> 0:28:43.200 We never like to close our broadcast without giving you 0:28:43.240 --> 0:28:46.000 an opportunity to make Jesus the lord of your life. 0:28:46.320 --> 0:28:50.560 Would you pray with me? Just say, Lord, Jesus, I 0:28:50.720 --> 0:28:55.360 repent of my sins. Come into my heart. I make 0:28:55.400 --> 0:28:58.800 you my lord and savior.
