One Sunday morning. She went to her 0:02:23.360 --> 0:02:26.080 son's bedroom said son, wake up, it's time to go 0:02:26.120 --> 0:02:26.600 to church. 0:02:27.040 --> 0:02:30.080 The son said, no, Mom, I'm not going to church today. 0:02:30.200 --> 0:02:32.320 She said why not? He said, I'll give you two 0:02:32.360 --> 0:02:35.680 good reasons. Number one, I don't like the people, and 0:02:35.800 --> 0:02:38.680 number two, they don't like me. She said, all right, 0:02:38.720 --> 0:02:41.119 I'll give you two better reasons why you should go. 0:02:41.480 --> 0:02:44.640 Number one, you're forty nine years old, and number two, 0:02:44.840 --> 0:02:45.720 you're the pastor. 0:02:47.840 --> 0:02:50.800 Say it like you mean it. This is my Bible. 0:02:51.120 --> 0:02:53.480 I am what it says I am. I have what 0:02:53.560 --> 0:02:55.960 it says I have. I can do what it says 0:02:56.000 --> 0:02:56.560 I can do. 0:02:56.960 --> 0:03:00.919 Today I will be taught the word of God oldly confess. 0:03:01.360 --> 0:03:04.120 My mind is alert, my heart is recepted. 0:03:04.480 --> 0:03:08.120 I will never be the same. In Jesus' name, God 0:03:08.160 --> 0:03:08.720 bless you. 0:03:10.320 --> 0:03:12.280 I want to talk to you today about a. 0:03:12.240 --> 0:03:16.400 Trendsfer is coming. We all have dreams and goals we 0:03:16.440 --> 0:03:19.440 want to accomplish. We know God's put it in our heart, 0:03:19.880 --> 0:03:23.720 start a business, build that orphanage, to send our children 0:03:23.760 --> 0:03:26.600 to college. But we don't have the means to do it. 0:03:27.000 --> 0:03:28.919 We don't have the resources, the. 0:03:28.880 --> 0:03:33.960 Position, the influence. Seems like we're limited, But the scripture. 0:03:33.520 --> 0:03:37.320 Says the wealth of the ungodly is laid up for 0:03:37.400 --> 0:03:41.760 the righteous. One version says it will be transferred into 0:03:41.800 --> 0:03:44.880 the hands of the righteous. You may not be able 0:03:44.920 --> 0:03:46.840 to accomplish your dreams on your own. 0:03:47.520 --> 0:03:50.400 What's in your heart is too big for your bank account. 0:03:50.960 --> 0:03:54.160 You have the vision, you want to leave your family better, 0:03:54.480 --> 0:03:55.680 but you don't have the position. 0:03:56.480 --> 0:03:59.120 The good news is a trendsfer is coming. 0:03:59.800 --> 0:04:04.240 God doesn't give you the vision without having provision. He's 0:04:04.280 --> 0:04:09.840 already lined up these transfers, good breaks, promotion, divine connections 0:04:10.560 --> 0:04:14.600 because you're the righteous, because you keep God first place. 0:04:14.720 --> 0:04:17.919 You're faithful, you're generous, you're good to others. 0:04:18.480 --> 0:04:21.480 God said he's going to take from those who are 0:04:21.520 --> 0:04:25.400 not using their resources in a positive way. They're not 0:04:25.520 --> 0:04:30.239 using their influence, their means to help mankind. They're only 0:04:30.279 --> 0:04:34.159 focused on themselves, and he's going to transfer that into 0:04:34.200 --> 0:04:37.160 your hands. It's going to be out of the ordinary 0:04:37.640 --> 0:04:41.320 where you have the means to accomplish things you never dreamed. 0:04:41.960 --> 0:04:45.039 You can leave an inheritance, like the scripture says to 0:04:45.160 --> 0:04:49.400 your children's children. You can expand your business. You can 0:04:49.400 --> 0:04:50.760 support that girl's home. 0:04:51.160 --> 0:04:54.640 You can move into that nice neighborhood. Here's the key. 0:04:55.200 --> 0:04:58.560 You don't have to chase the blessing. Chase after God 0:04:58.960 --> 0:05:03.679 and the blessing which these transfers will track you down. 0:05:04.600 --> 0:05:07.880 The scripture says when you honor God, his blessings will 0:05:07.880 --> 0:05:12.159 overtake you. One version says they will catch you by surprise. 0:05:12.640 --> 0:05:13.760 You didn't see it coming. 0:05:14.440 --> 0:05:16.760 You never dreamed you could pay your house off. 0:05:17.320 --> 0:05:20.279 You thought it would take thirty years. But then suddenly 0:05:20.440 --> 0:05:26.640 a transfer. God favors you, promotion and inheritance, a business opportunity. 0:05:27.320 --> 0:05:29.640 You never dreamed you'd be running that department. 0:05:30.040 --> 0:05:32.839 You thought you were stuck in the background. You never 0:05:32.920 --> 0:05:35.760 dreamed you could send your children to college. You thought 0:05:35.800 --> 0:05:36.560 you were limited. 0:05:37.040 --> 0:05:39.680 What happened. You came into a transfer. 0:05:40.440 --> 0:05:44.000 God suddenly shifted things. You went from the back to 0:05:44.080 --> 0:05:48.080 the front, from renting to owning, from not having enough 0:05:48.320 --> 0:05:51.760 to more than enough. And this transfer is not just 0:05:51.920 --> 0:05:57.520 material things, but it's influence. It's honor, prestige, where people 0:05:57.600 --> 0:06:00.440 see you in a new light. They look down on you, 0:06:01.000 --> 0:06:04.760 didn't give you credit, wouldn't take your ideas. You keep 0:06:04.800 --> 0:06:07.360 doing the right thing, keep being your best. 0:06:07.400 --> 0:06:10.320 Where you are. They don't control your destiny. 0:06:11.080 --> 0:06:14.320 They may discount you now, but a transfer is coming. 0:06:15.040 --> 0:06:17.479 There will be a day when the roles reversed. 0:06:18.200 --> 0:06:21.480 They have the upper hand now, but when the transfer happens, 0:06:21.880 --> 0:06:26.039 you'll be in a position of honor, influence, prestige. 0:06:26.080 --> 0:06:28.600 We see these transfers all through the scripture. 0:06:29.279 --> 0:06:32.440 Egypt was one of the greatest superpowers of that day. 0:06:33.080 --> 0:06:36.839 They had more wealth and affluence than any other country. 0:06:37.040 --> 0:06:40.599 When God delivered the Israelites out of slavery. As they 0:06:40.680 --> 0:06:45.200 were leaving Egypt, the scripture says the Egyptians gave them 0:06:45.320 --> 0:06:48.200 all their gold, silver, and fine clothing. 0:06:49.080 --> 0:06:50.719 They didn't leave empty handed. 0:06:51.080 --> 0:06:55.799 A transfer took place. These people had oppressed them for years. 0:06:56.240 --> 0:06:59.160 They had the upper hand. They were forced to work 0:06:59.200 --> 0:07:04.400 without pay in unfair conditions, while their oppressors live comfortably 0:07:05.000 --> 0:07:06.520 in nice homes. 0:07:06.200 --> 0:07:07.479 With whatever they needed. 0:07:07.640 --> 0:07:12.120 The Israelites suffered in lack, not having enough, being mistreated. 0:07:12.880 --> 0:07:14.880 But the time came where God. 0:07:14.720 --> 0:07:17.520 Said, I'm going to take from those who are not 0:07:17.720 --> 0:07:21.480 using their resources for the right purposes, and I'm going 0:07:21.520 --> 0:07:25.600 to transfer them into the hands of my people. The 0:07:25.680 --> 0:07:28.800 Israelites went into the desert loaded down. 0:07:28.640 --> 0:07:30.360 With the wealth from their oppressors. 0:07:31.280 --> 0:07:36.880 God knows how to transfer resources, transfer influence, transfer abundance. 0:07:37.720 --> 0:07:40.520 You may be in a situation that looks like you're stock, 0:07:41.080 --> 0:07:43.600 you're at a disadvantage. 0:07:42.760 --> 0:07:44.120 You're not being treated right. 0:07:44.920 --> 0:07:48.640 My encouragement is stay in peace, keep doing the right thing. 0:07:49.080 --> 0:07:52.680 A trendsfer is coming. God knows how to make it 0:07:52.760 --> 0:07:56.080 up to you. He has good breaks that will suddenly 0:07:56.280 --> 0:07:57.840 shift things in your favor. 0:07:58.880 --> 0:08:01.640 The Israelites want in the desert for years. 0:08:02.160 --> 0:08:05.440 When they finally went into the Promised Land, the scripture 0:08:05.480 --> 0:08:08.640 says they lived in houses that they didn't build. 0:08:09.280 --> 0:08:11.440 They read from vineyards that they didn't plant. 0:08:12.240 --> 0:08:15.200 The clusters of grapes were so large it took two 0:08:15.280 --> 0:08:18.720 people to carry them. They didn't have to start from scratch, 0:08:19.200 --> 0:08:19.800 They didn't. 0:08:19.600 --> 0:08:22.040 Have to go in there and build plant work their 0:08:22.080 --> 0:08:24.480 way up. It was transferred to them. 0:08:25.520 --> 0:08:29.720 God has some of these transfers in your future. Houses 0:08:29.760 --> 0:08:33.040 that you didn't build, vineyards that you didn't plant. That 0:08:33.200 --> 0:08:38.160 means promotion where you weren't next in line opportunity. You 0:08:38.200 --> 0:08:42.120 didn't see coming blessings that chase you down. You didn't 0:08:42.120 --> 0:08:45.000 earn it, you didn't work for it. It's simply the 0:08:45.040 --> 0:08:49.320 goodness of God transferring resources, influence. 0:08:48.880 --> 0:08:52.920 Favor into the hands of the righteous. That's what happened 0:08:52.920 --> 0:08:54.600 with us in this building. 0:08:55.280 --> 0:08:59.440 For thirty years, the Compact Center was the premier facility and. 0:08:59.520 --> 0:08:59.840 All of you. 0:09:00.840 --> 0:09:04.400 Two million people came through this building a year. The 0:09:04.520 --> 0:09:09.679 Rockets won two World championships here. Practically every major entertainer 0:09:10.000 --> 0:09:14.199 had played in this building, Elvis, Michael Jackson, the Rolling Stones. 0:09:15.080 --> 0:09:18.200 When we were looking for property to build a new auditorium, 0:09:18.720 --> 0:09:21.720 someone mentioned that we should try to get the Compact Center. 0:09:22.520 --> 0:09:24.880 In my mind, that was so far out. 0:09:25.000 --> 0:09:27.240 I couldn't fathom that be it a possibility. 0:09:27.600 --> 0:09:30.000 I said, what do you mean? That building is worth 0:09:30.120 --> 0:09:33.120 four hundred million dollars. We could never afford it. 0:09:34.000 --> 0:09:37.560 My mind said there's no way. But deep down I 0:09:37.600 --> 0:09:40.520 could hear a still small voice saying, yes, Joel, it's 0:09:40.559 --> 0:09:44.200 supposed to be yours. It was a long battle, but 0:09:44.320 --> 0:09:47.120 we ended up signing a thirty year lease with the 0:09:47.160 --> 0:09:51.000 City of Houston for eleven million dollars. That comes out 0:09:51.040 --> 0:09:54.199 to be a little over three hundred thousand dollars. 0:09:53.880 --> 0:09:55.720 A year to lease this building. 0:09:56.679 --> 0:10:00.200 We do events in buildings like this across the country. 0:10:00.559 --> 0:10:04.280 They cost about three hundred thousand dollars a night. We 0:10:04.320 --> 0:10:07.559 rented this building for the same amount for the whole year. 0:10:08.440 --> 0:10:11.800 But here's how amazing God is. Seven years into the lease, 0:10:12.559 --> 0:10:15.840 the mayor called said that the city was behind on 0:10:15.960 --> 0:10:19.160 tax revenue. Asked if we wanted to purchase the building. 0:10:19.720 --> 0:10:22.320 We always wanted to buy it, but the lease was 0:10:22.360 --> 0:10:24.920 the best way to get the facility at the time. 0:10:25.520 --> 0:10:28.320 I said, yes, Mayor, we'd love to purchase it, but 0:10:28.400 --> 0:10:29.760 it depends on how much it is. 0:10:30.600 --> 0:10:32.920 She said, let us run an appraisal and we'll make 0:10:32.960 --> 0:10:33.600 you a good deal. 0:10:34.559 --> 0:10:37.440 We had a thirty year lease with an option for 0:10:37.480 --> 0:10:40.960 an additional thirty years, so they had to appraise the 0:10:41.000 --> 0:10:43.520 building based on the fact that we could be in 0:10:43.559 --> 0:10:48.000 it for sixty years. The appraisal came back not at 0:10:48.040 --> 0:10:51.440 three hundred million what the building is worth, not at 0:10:51.440 --> 0:10:54.440 one hundred million, not at fifty, not at twenty five. 0:10:54.760 --> 0:10:57.720 They said, we'll sell it to you for seven million dollars. 0:10:59.080 --> 0:11:03.960 The land it is worth many times that amount. What 0:11:04.040 --> 0:11:05.880 was that a transfer? 0:11:06.720 --> 0:11:11.400 God putting resources into the hands of the righteous. See 0:11:11.440 --> 0:11:14.720 in my twenties, I had season tickets to watch the 0:11:14.800 --> 0:11:17.280 Rockets play basketball. Here right back there in section one 0:11:17.320 --> 0:11:20.120 oh four. I never dreamed one day we. 0:11:20.080 --> 0:11:24.280 Would own the Compact Center. God has these transfers in 0:11:24.360 --> 0:11:25.480 your future. 0:11:25.440 --> 0:11:28.839 That are going to boggle your mind, things you never imagined. 0:11:29.200 --> 0:11:31.400 Resources influence favor. 0:11:32.320 --> 0:11:35.840 The key is is your heart to build the kingdom, 0:11:36.360 --> 0:11:39.600 to help others, to take your family to a new level. 0:11:40.200 --> 0:11:43.600 If it's just for me to build my ego to 0:11:43.720 --> 0:11:44.360 show off what. 0:11:44.400 --> 0:11:48.480 I have, if I'm self absorbed, that's going to limit 0:11:48.600 --> 0:11:52.840 what God will do. God is looking for kingdom builders, 0:11:53.440 --> 0:11:57.360 people that will use the resources, the influence to be 0:11:57.440 --> 0:12:01.120 a blessing, to accomplish your God gives in dreams, to 0:12:01.200 --> 0:12:04.720 support that charity, to pay off that single mom's house, 0:12:05.000 --> 0:12:06.600 to leave your family. 0:12:06.440 --> 0:12:07.840 Better than it was before. 0:12:08.840 --> 0:12:12.480 In the scripture, Niemiah was living in a foreign country 0:12:13.000 --> 0:12:14.839 working as a cup bearer. 0:12:14.480 --> 0:12:17.080 For the king. He had an ordinary job. 0:12:17.480 --> 0:12:20.280 One day, his brother came to visit him, and he 0:12:20.400 --> 0:12:24.040 told how the walls of Jerusalem, their home city, had. 0:12:23.840 --> 0:12:24.679 Been torn down. 0:12:25.360 --> 0:12:29.080 Gates were burned, how the city was unprotected, the people 0:12:29.120 --> 0:12:33.319 were in danger. The scripture says when Niemiah heard this, 0:12:33.640 --> 0:12:38.480 he wept. He was heartbroken for days. He mourned. He 0:12:38.520 --> 0:12:41.880 asked God to do something. God put a dream in 0:12:41.920 --> 0:12:43.800 his heart to go back home and. 0:12:43.840 --> 0:12:45.320 Rebuild those walls. 0:12:45.720 --> 0:12:49.560 Well, that seemed impossible. He was living a thousand miles away. 0:12:50.080 --> 0:12:54.439 He didn't have the funds, the materials, the crew, the experience. 0:12:55.200 --> 0:12:59.800 But God won't give you vision. Without provision. You may 0:12:59.840 --> 0:13:03.240 not see how the odds are against you. But what 0:13:03.280 --> 0:13:07.320 you can't see is there are transfers coming. Things that 0:13:07.360 --> 0:13:11.040 you couldn't make happen. God will make happen. The king 0:13:11.160 --> 0:13:14.680 asked Nehemiah why he was so sad. He said, it's 0:13:14.720 --> 0:13:18.920 because our people are in danger. Our city is unprotected, 0:13:19.080 --> 0:13:22.160 the walls are down. King could have said, too bad, 0:13:22.520 --> 0:13:24.920 it's not my problem. Don't bring your trouble to me. 0:13:25.640 --> 0:13:29.040 But the king said to Niemiah, how can I help you. 0:13:30.160 --> 0:13:34.240 What's interesting is this king didn't worship Jehovah. He didn't 0:13:34.240 --> 0:13:37.200 believe in the God of Abraham. Yet he's wanting to 0:13:37.240 --> 0:13:41.240 help Nehemiah. God will cause the right people. 0:13:41.200 --> 0:13:42.120 To be good to you. 0:13:43.120 --> 0:13:46.000 Everyone that's going to help you accomplish your dream. 0:13:46.600 --> 0:13:48.320 May not believe like you believe. 0:13:49.040 --> 0:13:51.800 They may not be living a godly life, yet they've 0:13:51.800 --> 0:13:55.000 been positioned in your path to help you move into 0:13:55.040 --> 0:13:59.080 your destiny. One of the main people that helped us 0:13:59.120 --> 0:14:02.600 acquire the Compact Center was the biggest partier. 0:14:03.240 --> 0:14:05.280 He loved to drink, to curse. 0:14:05.920 --> 0:14:08.520 He liked me, but he would make fun of the church. 0:14:09.160 --> 0:14:12.040 A colleague asked him to attend liquid with him. He said, no, 0:14:12.360 --> 0:14:12.959 I don't like. 0:14:12.960 --> 0:14:15.920 Going to the circus. He didn't offend me. I like 0:14:15.960 --> 0:14:16.600 the circus. 0:14:17.040 --> 0:14:18.800 My brother Paul's gonna come out in the high wire 0:14:18.840 --> 0:14:22.040 in a minute. I thought, you can make fun of 0:14:22.040 --> 0:14:24.520 all you want as long as you keep using your 0:14:24.600 --> 0:14:26.200 influence to move us forward. 0:14:26.920 --> 0:14:29.880 He was the big reason that we got the building. 0:14:30.760 --> 0:14:33.880 You may be surprised at who God uses to fund 0:14:33.920 --> 0:14:34.600 your dreams. 0:14:35.000 --> 0:14:37.200 To open that door, to put in a good word 0:14:37.240 --> 0:14:37.560 for you. 0:14:38.600 --> 0:14:41.600 The king told Neemiah that he could take time off, 0:14:42.040 --> 0:14:46.400 go back and rebuild the walls. Neamiah was grateful, but 0:14:46.480 --> 0:14:49.200 he said, I don't have any materials. I don't have 0:14:49.240 --> 0:14:52.080 any funds to buy the wood, the stone, the rock, 0:14:52.280 --> 0:14:55.520 the mortar. The king said that's no problem. I'll give 0:14:55.560 --> 0:14:58.360 you a letter requiring people to give you. 0:14:58.280 --> 0:14:59.000 What you need. 0:15:00.240 --> 0:15:03.200 I said, that's great, but it's dangerous traveling back home. 0:15:03.560 --> 0:15:05.840 I don't know if i'll make it there safely. The 0:15:05.920 --> 0:15:08.640 king said, don't worry. I'll let all the governors know 0:15:09.000 --> 0:15:10.600 that you're traveling through their city. 0:15:10.920 --> 0:15:12.000 They'll watch after you. 0:15:13.000 --> 0:15:17.360 Should have taken the Amiah years, but he rebuilt the walls. 0:15:17.000 --> 0:15:20.160 In just fifty two days. How could this happen? 0:15:20.920 --> 0:15:27.440 This king, who didn't worship Jehovah transferred his funds, his materials. 0:15:26.960 --> 0:15:28.760 His favor, his influence. 0:15:29.760 --> 0:15:32.520 God will put dreams in your heart that you can't 0:15:32.520 --> 0:15:33.760 accomplish on your own. 0:15:34.360 --> 0:15:35.560 Don't be intimidated. 0:15:35.880 --> 0:15:39.320 God is setting you up for a transfer. He's put 0:15:39.360 --> 0:15:40.400 the right people in. 0:15:40.400 --> 0:15:44.040 Your path, people that will use their influence to thrust 0:15:44.080 --> 0:15:44.600 you ahead. 0:15:45.440 --> 0:15:49.040 You may not have the experience, the funds, the connections, 0:15:49.240 --> 0:15:53.200 but God does. You're just one transfer away from seeing 0:15:53.200 --> 0:15:56.640 that dream come to pass. One transfer and you'll pay 0:15:56.680 --> 0:15:59.960 your house off. One transfer in your business will take 0:16:00.120 --> 0:16:04.480 all I believe many of you are close to seeing 0:16:04.520 --> 0:16:07.960 this happen. You wouldn't be hearing this if there wasn't 0:16:07.960 --> 0:16:11.520 a transfer on the way now, don't talk yourself out 0:16:11.560 --> 0:16:12.200 of it. 0:16:12.200 --> 0:16:15.520 It'll never happen for me. Joel, I don't have the resources. 0:16:15.920 --> 0:16:18.760 How don't come from a prominent position. How can I 0:16:18.840 --> 0:16:23.160 do something great? You're right where Nehemiah was. He dared 0:16:23.200 --> 0:16:26.200 to believe, He dared to go to the king, He 0:16:26.320 --> 0:16:30.440 dared to pray bold prayers. Don't be intimidated by the 0:16:30.480 --> 0:16:34.320 size of your dream. God doesn't give big dreams to 0:16:34.480 --> 0:16:38.440 small people. There is greatness in you. There are new 0:16:38.560 --> 0:16:41.480 levels in you. There is a world changer in you. 0:16:41.800 --> 0:16:44.680 There is a history maker in you. That's why God 0:16:44.720 --> 0:16:45.640 puts something. 0:16:45.400 --> 0:16:48.440 Big in you. He knows what you're capable of. 0:16:49.640 --> 0:16:53.840 Like with Nehemiah, he has people who will fund your dreams, 0:16:54.400 --> 0:16:57.960 people who will use their influence to open doors, people 0:16:58.040 --> 0:17:00.200 who will go out of their way to be good. 0:17:01.680 --> 0:17:06.040 It's significant that Neemiah was weeping over what he wanted 0:17:06.040 --> 0:17:09.360 to make better. His heart was broken over the wrongs 0:17:09.359 --> 0:17:13.240 that he saw. This wasn't about having a big position, 0:17:14.000 --> 0:17:14.879 being well. 0:17:14.680 --> 0:17:16.240 Known, acquiring more. 0:17:17.040 --> 0:17:21.080 His dream was tied to building the kingdom, helping people 0:17:21.200 --> 0:17:25.560 rise higher, seeing his family, his relatives reach their potential. 0:17:26.480 --> 0:17:29.320 When your heart is to make a difference, when you're 0:17:29.440 --> 0:17:32.240 moved over that child you want to send to college, 0:17:32.800 --> 0:17:36.080 moved over those people you want to help, moved. 0:17:35.840 --> 0:17:37.919 Over those loved ones who are struggling. 0:17:38.640 --> 0:17:42.160 When your motives are right, then you will see these transfers. 0:17:42.960 --> 0:17:48.119 God is looking for Neemiah's people he can entrust with influence, 0:17:48.359 --> 0:17:52.520 with favor, with resources. I received a letter from a 0:17:52.560 --> 0:17:56.320 single parent mother. She and her family had immigrated to 0:17:56.359 --> 0:18:00.360 the United States from Europe years ago and English wasn't 0:18:00.400 --> 0:18:04.240 her first language. She had three small children, didn't know 0:18:04.280 --> 0:18:06.600 how she would ever be able to send them to college. 0:18:07.040 --> 0:18:10.920 Looked like she was at a disadvantage. Foreign country alone, 0:18:11.240 --> 0:18:14.760 didn't know anyone. She applied for a job as a 0:18:14.800 --> 0:18:19.520 secretary at a prestigious university. There were dozens of people 0:18:19.560 --> 0:18:21.320 there applying for the same position. 0:18:22.000 --> 0:18:23.600 The lady in charge. 0:18:23.680 --> 0:18:26.960 Wasn't nice to her at all. She was very harsh 0:18:27.000 --> 0:18:30.520 and condescending. All the applicants had to take a five 0:18:30.600 --> 0:18:34.280 minute typing test. She was not a great typist. She 0:18:34.440 --> 0:18:37.840 started typing, doing her best. Five minutes later, the bell 0:18:37.920 --> 0:18:41.399 went off. She stopped, but the lady in charge had 0:18:41.440 --> 0:18:45.280 gotten distracted answering a phone call. She told this mother 0:18:45.600 --> 0:18:48.119 to keep typing. That's not your bell. 0:18:48.119 --> 0:18:48.760 It was her bell. 0:18:48.880 --> 0:18:51.199 It was right in front of her. The mother said, okay, 0:18:51.440 --> 0:18:53.119 and type for another five minutes. 0:18:53.920 --> 0:18:55.320 They added up the number of. 0:18:55.240 --> 0:18:58.919 Words she had typed ten minutes worth and divided it 0:18:58.960 --> 0:19:01.919 by five, and she by far had the best typing 0:19:01.960 --> 0:19:05.199 skills and ended up getting the job. One of the 0:19:05.240 --> 0:19:09.080 benefits of working for the university is that your children 0:19:09.400 --> 0:19:11.439 can attend school for free. 0:19:11.560 --> 0:19:13.199 That was over thirty years ago. 0:19:13.600 --> 0:19:16.720 Now all three of her children have graduated from this 0:19:16.880 --> 0:19:22.320 prestigious university, over seven hundred thousand dollars in free education. 0:19:23.480 --> 0:19:27.400 God knows how to trendsfer what you need. You may 0:19:27.440 --> 0:19:30.840 be limited, but He's not limited. When people are not 0:19:30.920 --> 0:19:34.920 treating you right, not doing what's fair, don't get discouraged. 0:19:35.080 --> 0:19:37.480 They don't have the final say God does. 0:19:38.480 --> 0:19:40.000 What's interesting is this. 0:19:39.960 --> 0:19:43.919 Lady that was so condescending, not helpful, now she works 0:19:43.960 --> 0:19:44.840 for this single mother. 0:19:45.560 --> 0:19:48.160 She used to have the authority, Now it. 0:19:48.119 --> 0:19:52.040 Was transferred to this mother. God is keeping the records. 0:19:52.560 --> 0:19:55.920 He sees who tried to stop you, who played politics, 0:19:56.160 --> 0:19:57.840 held you down, who walked away. 0:19:58.480 --> 0:20:01.439 They may have the upper hand, but your time is coming. 0:20:02.080 --> 0:20:05.440 Stay on the high road. Let God fight those battles. 0:20:05.480 --> 0:20:07.840 No person, group, no boss. 0:20:07.680 --> 0:20:11.960 Can stop what God has ordained for you. In the scripture, 0:20:12.440 --> 0:20:15.240 Ruth was out working in the fields. She was a 0:20:15.280 --> 0:20:18.760 widow at a young age. Her husband had died and 0:20:18.840 --> 0:20:22.640 she was picking up leftover grain, barely making it. That's 0:20:22.680 --> 0:20:25.520 how she and her mother in law, Naomi survived. 0:20:26.400 --> 0:20:29.440 Ruth had a heart after God. She could have been bitter, 0:20:30.080 --> 0:20:33.199 had a chip on her shoulder, but instead she was 0:20:33.240 --> 0:20:36.600 taking care of Naomi. She'd get up early every morning 0:20:36.640 --> 0:20:39.679 and go find the food that they needed. It looked 0:20:39.680 --> 0:20:41.160 like she would always struggle. 0:20:41.760 --> 0:20:46.679 Life had been unfair, bad break, husband's gone, her dreams 0:20:46.680 --> 0:20:49.840 were shattered. She never imagined she would be at this 0:20:49.960 --> 0:20:53.520 place in life. But God sees what you've been through, 0:20:54.200 --> 0:20:57.080 He sees what wasn't fair, how you've been dealt a 0:20:57.160 --> 0:21:00.359 tough hand. If you'll stay in faith, he'll make it 0:21:00.440 --> 0:21:03.679 up to you. You're not limited by what's happened to you, 0:21:04.000 --> 0:21:06.800 what you didn't get, who wasn't there for you. You 0:21:06.920 --> 0:21:09.520 may be at a disadvantage, but God is not at 0:21:09.520 --> 0:21:10.520 a disadvantage. 0:21:10.560 --> 0:21:12.040 He controls the universe. 0:21:13.040 --> 0:21:16.040 One day, the man that owned all those fields, one 0:21:16.080 --> 0:21:19.680 of the wealthiest men in that area. His name was Boaz. 0:21:20.200 --> 0:21:23.800 He saw Ruth and they fell in love. Eventually they 0:21:23.800 --> 0:21:27.600 were married. Now, instead of working in the field, Ruth 0:21:27.640 --> 0:21:30.920 owned the field. She never had to pick up leftover 0:21:30.960 --> 0:21:35.520 grain again. A transfer took place. Suddenly she had more 0:21:35.680 --> 0:21:39.440 than she ever dreamed. Like Ruth, many of you have 0:21:39.560 --> 0:21:42.720 been faithful. You've done the right thing. When it was hard, 0:21:43.040 --> 0:21:46.040 you didn't complain. You had a bad break, but you 0:21:46.080 --> 0:21:49.440 didn't get bitter. You've been overlooked, but you kept being 0:21:49.480 --> 0:21:53.480 your best. I believe you're about to see a shift. 0:21:53.760 --> 0:21:57.560 God's about to transfer some things. It's going to be unusual, 0:21:58.080 --> 0:22:02.040 out of the ordinary. The right people, the Boaz, are 0:22:02.080 --> 0:22:05.119 going to notice you. New doors are going to open 0:22:05.720 --> 0:22:11.880 some suddenly promotion, opportunity houses that you didn't build, vineyards 0:22:11.880 --> 0:22:15.320 that you didn't plan. When Ruth was out in the fields, 0:22:15.800 --> 0:22:17.040 she didn't see Boaz. 0:22:17.760 --> 0:22:21.040 She didn't know who he was, but Boaz saw her. 0:22:22.160 --> 0:22:24.040 The right people are seeing you. 0:22:24.920 --> 0:22:28.600 God is arranging things in your favor, ordering your steps. 0:22:29.240 --> 0:22:32.520 Don't believe those lives that you're stuck. You're limited. 0:22:33.119 --> 0:22:37.800 You've seen others blessed, successful, good relationships, but that'll never 0:22:37.840 --> 0:22:42.320 be you know, A transfer is coming a shift, something 0:22:42.359 --> 0:22:46.240 that catapults you to a new level. When we acquired 0:22:46.280 --> 0:22:50.159 the Compact Center, it wasn't just a transfer of resources, 0:22:50.680 --> 0:22:51.120 It was a. 0:22:51.080 --> 0:22:55.520 Transfer of influence. This one good break put us fifty. 0:22:55.240 --> 0:23:00.760 Years down the road in respect, in credibility. Years before 0:23:00.760 --> 0:23:03.719 we moved in here, I would see certain people at 0:23:03.720 --> 0:23:07.720 our children's school events. I would politely say hello, but 0:23:08.280 --> 0:23:10.480 some of them wouldn't give me the time of day. 0:23:11.080 --> 0:23:13.480 They saw me come and they would turn and look. 0:23:13.280 --> 0:23:13.920 The other way. 0:23:14.800 --> 0:23:18.000 They saw me as second class. I came from that 0:23:18.119 --> 0:23:19.600 church on the other side of town. 0:23:20.200 --> 0:23:20.880 We didn't have a. 0:23:20.800 --> 0:23:25.879 Good location, prestigious address, a fancy building. In their mind, 0:23:26.080 --> 0:23:28.800 we were not up to park. But when we moved 0:23:28.840 --> 0:23:32.000 into this place, the Compact Center, it was a different story. 0:23:32.600 --> 0:23:35.879 Now people that never paid any attention to me would 0:23:35.880 --> 0:23:37.360 come up and be so friendly. 0:23:38.160 --> 0:23:40.120 One lady she had never acknowledged me. 0:23:40.640 --> 0:23:43.280 If I walked up, she acted like I didn't exist. 0:23:43.440 --> 0:23:46.800 Now she was my best friend. She brought other people over. 0:23:47.040 --> 0:23:47.800 This is Joel. 0:23:48.000 --> 0:23:51.280 He pastors the church in the Compact Center. One day 0:23:51.320 --> 0:23:53.640 she said, Joel, I want to come to your service. 0:23:53.920 --> 0:23:56.320 Can you save me a seat? I said, sure, I can. 0:23:56.840 --> 0:24:00.840 I did right up there by the flag. And God 0:24:00.960 --> 0:24:05.920 knows I saved you a good seat. God knows how 0:24:05.960 --> 0:24:06.720 to make you be. 0:24:06.800 --> 0:24:08.120 Seen in a different light. 0:24:09.040 --> 0:24:13.960 He's going to transfer influence, honor, prestige. You don't have 0:24:14.040 --> 0:24:17.880 to manipulate things, play up to people, try to convince 0:24:17.960 --> 0:24:18.879 him to respect you. 0:24:19.440 --> 0:24:23.800 Let God do it his way. This is what Joseph did. 0:24:24.320 --> 0:24:25.280 He was in prison. 0:24:26.000 --> 0:24:29.840 He'd been betrayed by his brothers, sold into slavery. This 0:24:29.920 --> 0:24:32.840 lady lied about it. Now he was sitting in his cell. 0:24:33.520 --> 0:24:37.399 He had no influence, no resources, no future to speak of. 0:24:38.240 --> 0:24:40.760 But one night the pharaoh had a dream that he 0:24:40.800 --> 0:24:41.760 didn't understand. 0:24:42.440 --> 0:24:44.240 The butler remembered when he. 0:24:44.200 --> 0:24:47.680 Was in prison with Joseph that Joseph could interpret dreams. 0:24:47.880 --> 0:24:51.560 He told the pharaoh. Well, Joseph interpreted the pharaoh's dream. 0:24:52.080 --> 0:24:56.320 Overnight he made Joseph second in command of all of Egypt. 0:24:57.000 --> 0:25:01.159 Joseph went from no influence to the highest influence. The 0:25:01.240 --> 0:25:04.639 pharaoh said nothing will be done in this country without 0:25:04.760 --> 0:25:09.160 Joseph signing off. He went from no resources to being 0:25:09.240 --> 0:25:12.880 in charge of all the food supply of Egypt. When 0:25:12.920 --> 0:25:16.440 his brothers and family eventually came to see him over 0:25:16.520 --> 0:25:19.680 seventy people. Joseph had a place for all of them 0:25:19.720 --> 0:25:23.080 to live, land they could farm and abundant life. 0:25:23.680 --> 0:25:25.480 What happened a transfer. 0:25:26.560 --> 0:25:30.320 Don't judge where you are as where you're going to stay. 0:25:30.440 --> 0:25:31.280 God has some. 0:25:31.160 --> 0:25:37.320 Transfers for you, Transfers of influence, transfers of resources, houses that. 0:25:37.240 --> 0:25:41.560 You didn't build, promotion that you didn't work for. Now. 0:25:41.640 --> 0:25:47.200 This transfer requires obedience, honoring God, doing the right thing 0:25:47.280 --> 0:25:51.160 when it's hard. There will be seasons, like with Joseph, 0:25:51.359 --> 0:25:55.359 that it's not fair. Nothing is changing. People that don't 0:25:55.400 --> 0:25:57.160 honor God are passing you by. 0:25:57.640 --> 0:26:01.360 Don't be discouraged. Your time has come. It's going to. 0:26:01.320 --> 0:26:05.000 Happen suddenly out of the ordinary. You couldn't have made 0:26:05.040 --> 0:26:07.000 it happen. It's the hand of God. 0:26:08.080 --> 0:26:10.320 What's significant with all three. 0:26:10.119 --> 0:26:14.320 Of these people, Neemiah, Joseph, and Ruth, none of their 0:26:14.359 --> 0:26:18.080 circumstances look like they were about to change. 0:26:18.240 --> 0:26:19.760 Joseph was sitting in prison. 0:26:20.359 --> 0:26:23.040 You're telling me he's about to be the prime minister 0:26:23.400 --> 0:26:24.560 of this powerful nation. 0:26:24.960 --> 0:26:25.679 I don't think so. 0:26:26.760 --> 0:26:30.240 Ruth was in the fields picking up grain. You're saying 0:26:30.280 --> 0:26:32.960 she's about to own this field. I don't see how 0:26:33.880 --> 0:26:37.560 Neemiah was a bus boy working in the kitchen. You 0:26:37.640 --> 0:26:40.080 mean he's going to rebuild the walls of Jerusalem. 0:26:40.440 --> 0:26:41.960 I think you have the wrong person. 0:26:42.760 --> 0:26:46.480 When you look at your situation, everything may say there's 0:26:46.520 --> 0:26:49.720 no way you'll accomplish your dream, no way you own 0:26:49.800 --> 0:26:52.480 your company, no way you'll get out of this problem, 0:26:52.520 --> 0:26:54.120 no way you'll meet the right person. 0:26:54.800 --> 0:26:56.000 You're right where they were. 0:26:56.680 --> 0:27:01.040 The good news is one transfer, one ship, and you'll 0:27:01.080 --> 0:27:06.280 have the resources, influence, opportunity that you've never seen. Don't 0:27:06.320 --> 0:27:11.119 talk yourself out of it. Don't live with a scarcity mentality. 0:27:11.280 --> 0:27:14.720 You have to give God permission to bless you. Quit 0:27:14.840 --> 0:27:17.520 believe in those lies that you don't deserve it. You 0:27:17.600 --> 0:27:21.160 come from the wrong family, You're not that talented. You've 0:27:21.200 --> 0:27:25.480 reached your limits. God needs you to build his kingdom. 0:27:25.960 --> 0:27:29.159 He's counting on you to make the world a better place. 0:27:29.680 --> 0:27:33.160 He's destined you to take your family where they've never been. 0:27:33.920 --> 0:27:38.199 He wants to entrust you with resources and influence. 0:27:37.840 --> 0:27:39.240 That you've never imagined. 0:27:39.960 --> 0:27:43.560 Be faithful where you are, Honor God with what you have. 0:27:44.040 --> 0:27:47.120 He's looking for Josephs, people that keep doing the. 0:27:47.160 --> 0:27:48.840 Right thing when it's hard. 0:27:49.000 --> 0:27:52.359 He's looking for Nehemiah's people that have a passion to 0:27:52.359 --> 0:27:56.400 build his kingdom. He's looking for Ruth, people that don't 0:27:56.480 --> 0:27:59.040 let bad breaks cause them to live bitter. 0:27:59.760 --> 0:28:00.639 Belie. That's you. 0:28:01.560 --> 0:28:05.080 Because you've been faithful, because you have the right motives. 0:28:05.359 --> 0:28:08.560 God is about to show out in your life. Others 0:28:08.560 --> 0:28:11.359 that haven't honored God seem like they passed you up. 0:28:11.880 --> 0:28:15.240 They've gotten good breaks gone further. There's about to be 0:28:15.280 --> 0:28:18.800 a shift. God is going to put resources into the 0:28:18.840 --> 0:28:22.840 hands of the righteous. Influence is gonna shift. You were 0:28:22.880 --> 0:28:26.159 in the background. Now you're in the foreground. You were 0:28:26.160 --> 0:28:29.520 struggling to get by. Now you have abundance. You thought 0:28:29.560 --> 0:28:32.520 you'd reached your limits, but suddenly you're thrust to a 0:28:32.560 --> 0:28:37.000 new level. I believe and declare a transfer is coming 0:28:37.080 --> 0:28:41.719 for you. Like Nehemiah, You're gonna accompass dreams bigger than 0:28:41.720 --> 0:28:46.000 you thought possible. Like Joseph, You're gonna handle resources you've 0:28:46.040 --> 0:28:46.920 never imagined. 0:28:47.520 --> 0:28:50.120 Like Ruth, You're gonna go from working in the field 0:28:50.360 --> 0:28:53.920 to own in the field. In Jesus's name, if you. 0:28:53.920 --> 0:28:58.360 Receive it, can you say amen, I'd like to give 0:28:58.360 --> 0:29:01.600 you an opportunity to make Jesus the lord of your life. 0:29:01.960 --> 0:29:02.920 Would you pray with me? 0:29:03.720 --> 0:29:09.280 Just say, Lord, Jesus, I'll reprit of my sins, come 0:29:09.280 --> 0:29:10.440 into my heart. 0:29:11.160 --> 0:29:13.040 I'll make you my Lord and savior. 0:29:14.440 --> 0:29:16.640 If you prayed that simple prayer, we believe you got 0:29:16.640 --> 0:29:17.280 born again. 0:29:17.880 --> 0:29:18.440 We'd love to. 0:29:18.400 --> 0:29:20.560 Send you some free information on your new walk with 0:29:20.600 --> 0:29:22.959 the Lord.
