Activate The Flow

0:00:01.120 --> 0:00:03.840 Hi, this is Joel and Victoria. Thanks for listening to 0:00:03.880 --> 0:00:07.040 our podcast and thanks for supporting the ministry.

We appreciate you and pray 0:00:12.480 --> 0:00:15.720 for God's very best in your life. Well, God bless 0:00:15.760 --> 0:00:18.360 you and it's great to be with you today, and 0:00:18.400 --> 0:00:20.800 I hope you'll stay connected with us during the week 0:00:20.960 --> 0:00:25.200 through our daily podcast, our YouTube channel, social media, and 0:00:25.280 --> 0:00:27.720 you can come visit us in person. We'd love to 0:00:27.760 --> 0:00:30.000 have you be a part of one of our services. 0:00:30.400 --> 0:00:32.640 I'd like to start with something funny and I heard 0:00:32.640 --> 0:00:36.320 about this husband and wife. They were celebrating their sixtieth 0:00:36.360 --> 0:00:40.520 birthdays together when an angel suddenly appeared and said God 0:00:40.680 --> 0:00:43.839 was going to grant them each one special request. They 0:00:43.880 --> 0:00:47.239 were so excited. The wife said, my request is that 0:00:47.280 --> 0:00:49.680 we would be able to travel all over the world, 0:00:49.720 --> 0:00:52.720 and poof, when the smoke cleared, she had tickets in 0:00:52.760 --> 0:00:56.960 her hand. Her husband put his head down in shames, said, 0:00:57.000 --> 0:01:00.240 my request is that I'd be married to a womanty 0:01:00.320 --> 0:01:03.560 years younger than me, and poof, when the smoke cleared, 0:01:03.800 --> 0:01:08.920 he was ninety years old. All the ladies said amen, Amen, 0:01:09.800 --> 0:01:12.759 here we go, y'all. This is my Bible. I am 0:01:12.840 --> 0:01:15.400 what it says I am. I have what it says 0:01:15.440 --> 0:01:18.120 I have. I can do what it says I can do. 0:01:18.520 --> 0:01:21.440 Today I will be taught the word of God. I'll 0:01:21.480 --> 0:01:25.640 boldly confess. My mind is alert, my heart is receptive. 0:01:25.959 --> 0:01:29.680 I will never be the same. In Jesus' name, God 0:01:29.720 --> 0:01:33.200 bless you. I want to talk to you today about 0:01:33.520 --> 0:01:37.440 activate the flow. We all have times in life where 0:01:37.440 --> 0:01:40.319 we're at a disadvantage. We don't see how we can 0:01:40.319 --> 0:01:44.479 accomplish our dream. The medical report is not good, child 0:01:44.600 --> 0:01:47.600 is off course. We've done all we can in our 0:01:47.640 --> 0:01:52.160 own power, but nothing has changed. Doors haven't opened. We're 0:01:52.160 --> 0:01:55.400 still dealing with the anxiety, and it's tempting to get 0:01:55.440 --> 0:01:58.680 discouraged and settle where we are. But there is a 0:01:58.800 --> 0:02:02.600 supernatural flow that you can tap into, a flow of 0:02:02.680 --> 0:02:06.200 healing that will turn the medical report around, a flow 0:02:06.240 --> 0:02:09.680 of favor that will open doors and bring the right people, 0:02:10.160 --> 0:02:13.880 a flow of freedom that will break the addiction. This 0:02:13.960 --> 0:02:17.639 flow is within reach, but here's the key. It has 0:02:17.720 --> 0:02:21.799 to be activated. How do you activate it? By expecting 0:02:21.840 --> 0:02:26.520 God's favor, by declaring his promises, by believing he's working 0:02:26.840 --> 0:02:29.560 when you don't see any sign of it. You have 0:02:29.639 --> 0:02:33.360 to press past the doubt, press past the thoughts telling 0:02:33.400 --> 0:02:36.240 you it's never going to change. It's been this way 0:02:36.240 --> 0:02:40.160 too long, This problem is too big. Don't believe those lies. 0:02:40.440 --> 0:02:44.080 God is on the throne. He's fighting your battles. There's 0:02:44.120 --> 0:02:47.080 not a problem you're facing that he can't turn around. 0:02:47.720 --> 0:02:50.959 Not a dream. He can't bring the past, not an addiction. 0:02:51.160 --> 0:02:55.200 He can't break. When you activate this flow, angels go 0:02:55.240 --> 0:02:59.240 to work. Forces of darkness are broken, favor is released. 0:03:00.080 --> 0:03:03.800 But sometimes we're waiting on God. But God's waiting on us. 0:03:04.320 --> 0:03:08.280 He's saying, come on, activate my power, activate my favor, 0:03:08.480 --> 0:03:13.280 activate my healing. God works where there's faith. He sees 0:03:13.320 --> 0:03:17.320 our needs, but he's not moved by needs. Otherwise there 0:03:17.360 --> 0:03:20.880 would be no needs. He's moved by our faith. What 0:03:21.040 --> 0:03:24.560 activates the flow is when we believe that God can 0:03:24.639 --> 0:03:28.520 do what seems impossible. When we go around not talking 0:03:28.560 --> 0:03:31.359 about how big the problem is, but about how big 0:03:31.400 --> 0:03:35.440 our God is. When we declare, God is going before me, 0:03:35.760 --> 0:03:39.960 making cooked places straight. He's opening doors that no person 0:03:40.000 --> 0:03:43.520 can shut, bringing the right people across my path. That's 0:03:43.600 --> 0:03:47.360 not just being positive. You just activated a flow of favor. 0:03:48.040 --> 0:03:51.920 You're going to see God do unusual, uncommon things, things 0:03:51.920 --> 0:03:55.640 that you can't explain. Maybe you're dealing with an illness. 0:03:56.080 --> 0:03:58.280 It's easy to accept it. And man, this is my 0:03:58.400 --> 0:04:02.720 lot and life. Attitude is this sickness didn't come to stay, 0:04:02.960 --> 0:04:06.360 It came to pass. God is restoring health back into me. 0:04:06.840 --> 0:04:10.360 I will live and not die. You just activated a 0:04:10.400 --> 0:04:14.480 flow of healing where God can supernaturally turn things around. 0:04:15.240 --> 0:04:19.280 He's not limited to what medical science can do. He 0:04:19.360 --> 0:04:23.560 may use medicine, he may use doctors, but sometimes they 0:04:23.640 --> 0:04:27.000 run out of options. There's nothing more in the natural 0:04:27.080 --> 0:04:31.000 they can do. But our God is supernatural. He never 0:04:31.080 --> 0:04:34.760 runs out of options. When you believe you activate a 0:04:34.800 --> 0:04:38.000 flow of healing, they can do what medicine cannot do. 0:04:38.920 --> 0:04:41.880 Or maybe a child is off course, instead of worrying, 0:04:42.520 --> 0:04:45.320 not able to sleep. No, As for me and my house, 0:04:45.360 --> 0:04:48.440 we will serve the Lord. My children are mighty in 0:04:48.480 --> 0:04:52.080 the land. What God started he's going to finish. You 0:04:52.279 --> 0:04:55.480 just activated a flow of freedom, a flow of protection, 0:04:55.720 --> 0:04:58.800 a flow of purpose. That's when you'll see God do 0:04:58.960 --> 0:05:02.760 things that only he can do. In March chapter five, 0:05:03.040 --> 0:05:05.440 there was a woman that had a bleeding disorder for 0:05:05.520 --> 0:05:09.920 twelve years. She'd gone to many different doctors, no success. 0:05:10.320 --> 0:05:13.880 She didn't stop there. She found the leading experts had 0:05:13.880 --> 0:05:16.240 the best of that day look at her. But they 0:05:16.279 --> 0:05:19.640 all had the same report. We're sorry, there's nothing more 0:05:19.680 --> 0:05:23.360 we can do. This illness is not treatable. She had 0:05:23.360 --> 0:05:26.479 spent all of her funds trying to get well. You 0:05:26.520 --> 0:05:30.240 can imagine how discouraged she was. Not only facing this 0:05:30.320 --> 0:05:34.880 incurable disease, weak, losing weight, but she didn't have any 0:05:34.960 --> 0:05:37.880 money to live on. One day she heard all this 0:05:38.040 --> 0:05:42.040 commotion in town. People were so excited. She found out 0:05:42.080 --> 0:05:46.200 that Jesus was passing through. She had heard stories of 0:05:46.279 --> 0:05:49.000 how he had healed sick people, how he calmed the 0:05:49.080 --> 0:05:54.240 sea and open blind eyes. Something came alive on the inside. 0:05:54.440 --> 0:05:58.440 This faith rose up, This expectancy that said, if I 0:05:58.480 --> 0:06:02.719 can get to Jesus, no I will be healed. Didn't 0:06:02.720 --> 0:06:05.680 make sense to her mind. Every thought said, what are 0:06:05.680 --> 0:06:09.640 you talking about. You've heard all the reports, This sickness 0:06:09.880 --> 0:06:13.039 is not treatable. You can't get well. There was a 0:06:13.080 --> 0:06:18.360 battle taking place in her thinking, never gonna happen, too late, impossible, 0:06:18.960 --> 0:06:21.839 But in her spirit she heard this is your time. 0:06:22.360 --> 0:06:26.400 Healing is coming. Rise up in faith. She decided to 0:06:26.400 --> 0:06:29.919 go see Jesus. The problem was there were throngs of 0:06:30.000 --> 0:06:34.200 people crowded around him. They were packed in, everyone trying 0:06:34.200 --> 0:06:37.679 to get close. This woman had a made up mind. 0:06:38.520 --> 0:06:41.800 I can see her pushing through the crowd. Excuse me, 0:06:42.240 --> 0:06:45.159 I need to get by. I don't mean to be rude, 0:06:45.160 --> 0:06:47.680 but move out of my way. Harden me. I need 0:06:47.680 --> 0:06:51.720 to get up front. She had this boldness, this tenacity 0:06:52.279 --> 0:06:54.320 that she wasn't going to be talked out of it. 0:06:54.800 --> 0:06:59.120 Here she's weak from the loss of blood, she's frail, small, 0:06:59.480 --> 0:07:03.640 ated dis advantage, but she's on a mission. The scripture says. 0:07:03.880 --> 0:07:07.680 She kept saying to herself, when I get to Jesus, 0:07:07.800 --> 0:07:10.840 I will be healed. She didn't say it one time, 0:07:11.200 --> 0:07:15.320 she kept declaring it under her breath, pushing through the crowd. 0:07:15.720 --> 0:07:19.280 I will be healed. I'm close to my breakthrough. Things 0:07:19.320 --> 0:07:22.880 are about to change in my favor. Thoughts were telling her, 0:07:23.280 --> 0:07:26.680 you're wasting your time. She answered back, no, thanks, I 0:07:26.760 --> 0:07:29.840 will be healed. You've been this way too long. I 0:07:29.920 --> 0:07:33.480 will be healed. You heard the experts. I will be healed. 0:07:34.040 --> 0:07:36.720 Never get through the crowd, too many people. I will 0:07:36.760 --> 0:07:39.920 be healed. What am I saying? You have to talk 0:07:39.960 --> 0:07:43.680 back to yourself. Sometimes your own thoughts will try to 0:07:43.720 --> 0:07:47.080 talk you out of God's best. Don't get in agreement 0:07:47.120 --> 0:07:50.720 with the defeat, the lack, the sickness, the trouble. Do 0:07:50.920 --> 0:07:54.480 like this lady, keep saying to yourself. Healing is coming, 0:07:55.000 --> 0:07:59.120 Freedom is coming, the right person is coming, Abundance is coming, 0:07:59.400 --> 0:08:03.560 Victory is coming. This woman kept pressing through the crowd, 0:08:03.600 --> 0:08:06.600 and finally she made it to Jesus. She was so 0:08:06.760 --> 0:08:10.960 exhausted and so out of breath she fell down just 0:08:11.040 --> 0:08:14.520 as Jesus passed by. At the last second, she reached 0:08:14.560 --> 0:08:18.640 out and touched the edge of his robe. Instantly she 0:08:18.720 --> 0:08:23.520 felt healing flew into her body. Strength came, the bleeding stop. 0:08:24.200 --> 0:08:28.120 After twelve years, she felt like a different person. She 0:08:28.280 --> 0:08:33.280 was excited, but that excitement quickly turned to fear. Jesus 0:08:33.280 --> 0:08:37.400 suddenly stopped, said to his disciples, who just touched me. 0:08:38.280 --> 0:08:41.160 They were puzzled, said, what do you mean, Jesus, everybody's 0:08:41.200 --> 0:08:44.720 touching you. It's crowded out here. Jesus said, no, someone 0:08:44.840 --> 0:08:49.079 touched me with such faith, with such expectancy that they 0:08:49.160 --> 0:08:53.040 drew the miracle working power out of me. He was saying. 0:08:53.880 --> 0:08:58.960 Someone activated the flow. Someone believed healing was coming. Someone 0:08:59.040 --> 0:09:02.280 believed their child was going to turn around. Someone believed 0:09:02.320 --> 0:09:05.560 new doors were about to open. They drew favor out 0:09:05.640 --> 0:09:10.920 of me. They drew healing, freedom, restoration. They activated my 0:09:11.040 --> 0:09:15.600 supernatural power. About that time, Jesus looked at this woman. 0:09:16.080 --> 0:09:19.880 Their eyes met. Her heart was beating so fast. She 0:09:20.000 --> 0:09:23.640 thought she was in trouble. She interrupted Jesus. Maybe he 0:09:23.679 --> 0:09:27.840 would be upset, maybe he would embarrass her. But Jesus 0:09:27.840 --> 0:09:31.439 smiled and said, daughter, your faith has made you whold 0:09:31.840 --> 0:09:35.720 go in peace. You were healed. He was saying, way 0:09:35.720 --> 0:09:39.440 to go, girl, your faith did this. See there were 0:09:39.480 --> 0:09:45.240 many miracles where Jesus initiated the healing. He initiated multiplying 0:09:45.280 --> 0:09:49.240 the food, He initiated bringing the widow's son back to life. 0:09:49.360 --> 0:09:53.280 He initiated healing Peter's mother in law. But this case 0:09:53.320 --> 0:09:57.320 shows us how you can initiate the miracle. He said 0:09:57.360 --> 0:10:00.360 to the woman, you activated this flow of it healing. 0:10:00.960 --> 0:10:03.760 I saw you push through the crowd. I heard you 0:10:03.880 --> 0:10:07.960 declaring healing is coming. I saw you fighting off the discouragement, 0:10:08.440 --> 0:10:12.880 not letting naysayers talk you out of it. Expecting, believing, stretching, 0:10:13.720 --> 0:10:17.559 that's what activates the flow. But there were many sick 0:10:17.600 --> 0:10:23.319 people in the crowd that day, many people that needed healing, restoration, breakthroughs. 0:10:24.040 --> 0:10:27.880 They bumped up against Jesus at times they made contact, 0:10:28.200 --> 0:10:32.160 but nothing happened. What was different about this lady? She 0:10:32.360 --> 0:10:37.439 touched him with expectancy, believing that healing was coming, knowing 0:10:37.480 --> 0:10:40.840 that things were about to change, declaring that favor was 0:10:40.880 --> 0:10:44.400 on the way. We're all in the crowd, so to speak. 0:10:44.880 --> 0:10:48.640 Jesus is passing by. The question is are you brushing 0:10:48.720 --> 0:10:52.120 up against him or are you touching him? Are you 0:10:52.240 --> 0:10:56.920 activating the flow, believing for your dreams, expecting your healing, 0:10:57.120 --> 0:11:01.640 declaring God's favor, or you folk on how impossible it looks, 0:11:02.200 --> 0:11:05.120 how the odds are against you, what people have said, 0:11:05.480 --> 0:11:09.320 letting your own thoughts discourage you. Now be like this lady, 0:11:09.840 --> 0:11:13.480 start activating that flow instead of talking about how you'll 0:11:13.520 --> 0:11:16.680 never get out of debt. Business is so slow. I 0:11:16.720 --> 0:11:20.439 will lend and not borrow. What I touch prospers and succeeds. 0:11:20.800 --> 0:11:26.160 I'm expecting a bountiful, abundant, flourishing year. That's when God 0:11:26.200 --> 0:11:29.840 will stop and say, who touched me? Who activated that 0:11:29.880 --> 0:11:33.960 flow of favor, that flow of abundance. Your faith can 0:11:34.000 --> 0:11:37.840 activate the flow like this woman. You may have gone 0:11:37.840 --> 0:11:41.839 through disappointments, you're tired. You could sit back and look 0:11:41.880 --> 0:11:45.600 at what didn't work out, who hurts you, how unfair 0:11:45.640 --> 0:11:49.040 it's been. Or you can say, Father, thank you that 0:11:49.120 --> 0:11:51.960 you have beauty for these ashes, Thank you Lord that 0:11:52.000 --> 0:11:55.200 what was meant for harm that you're turning to my advantage. 0:11:55.280 --> 0:11:58.040 You said you'd pay me back double for the unfair 0:11:58.120 --> 0:12:02.000 things that have happened. That's what causes God to stop 0:12:02.040 --> 0:12:05.440 in his tracks and ask who touched me? It was 0:12:05.480 --> 0:12:11.800 your faith. You activated restoration, You activated new beginnings, new relationships. 0:12:12.640 --> 0:12:15.920 I wonder if there's some flows you're missing out on 0:12:16.320 --> 0:12:20.560 because you're not activating them. You're brushing up against Jesus 0:12:20.559 --> 0:12:23.640 so to speak, but you're not touching him. You have 0:12:23.720 --> 0:12:27.360 to stretch your faith, believe for what you're dreaming about, 0:12:27.920 --> 0:12:32.120 declare his promises in spite of what's not changing. Like 0:12:32.240 --> 0:12:35.520 she did, keep saying to yourself, I know my healing 0:12:35.600 --> 0:12:38.840 is coming. I know my children will fulfill their destiny. 0:12:39.280 --> 0:12:42.400 I know my business will succeed. I know I will 0:12:42.440 --> 0:12:45.440 break this addiction. I know freedom is on the way. 0:12:46.640 --> 0:12:50.560 This lady had to press through the crowd. She was tired, 0:12:50.760 --> 0:12:53.840 weak and frail. She could have stayed at home. She 0:12:53.960 --> 0:12:57.240 had to press through doubts in her mind, all the 0:12:57.280 --> 0:13:00.760 thoughts whispering that she'd never get well. She had to 0:13:00.800 --> 0:13:04.120 press through the naysayers, the experts telling her that it 0:13:04.120 --> 0:13:07.319 wouldn't happen. All the facts say and it was impossible. 0:13:08.000 --> 0:13:12.000 She had to press through disappointments, twelve years of trying 0:13:12.240 --> 0:13:15.880 and nothing getting better. She had plenty of reasons to 0:13:16.000 --> 0:13:19.880 settle where she was, but she kept declaring, healing is coming. 0:13:20.360 --> 0:13:23.360 When I touch him, I will behold. She had this 0:13:23.520 --> 0:13:28.119 unwavering faith, knowing that God is faithful. What he promised 0:13:28.360 --> 0:13:31.920 was on the way. If you're going to activate the flow, 0:13:32.240 --> 0:13:34.800 if you're going to see God's favor, you have to 0:13:34.840 --> 0:13:39.080 press past the doubt, those thoughts that tell you you 0:13:39.200 --> 0:13:43.120 never get well, never meet the right person, never see 0:13:43.120 --> 0:13:46.640 your family restored. It would have happened by now. Don't 0:13:46.679 --> 0:13:50.000 believe those lies. The enemy wouldn't be telling you that 0:13:50.400 --> 0:13:53.360 if he didn't know it was on the way. He 0:13:53.400 --> 0:13:56.480 doesn't mind you being in the crowd. As long as 0:13:56.520 --> 0:14:00.360 you're not believing, not expecting, not stretching your faith. He 0:14:00.480 --> 0:14:04.000 knows if you activate that flow, miracles are going to happen, 0:14:04.320 --> 0:14:09.400 Favor is released, Impossible situations will turn around. You have 0:14:09.480 --> 0:14:13.280 to press past the naysayers. It'll always be people that 0:14:13.320 --> 0:14:16.480 try to discourage you, tell you what you can't become, 0:14:17.080 --> 0:14:20.240 how you're not going to get well. My grandmother died 0:14:20.280 --> 0:14:23.800 from that same disease. Good luck. People told us we 0:14:23.840 --> 0:14:26.720 would never get the Compact center, never get this place, 0:14:27.200 --> 0:14:29.240 that the city would never let a church have it. 0:14:29.440 --> 0:14:32.440 But here we are today. People told me that I 0:14:32.440 --> 0:14:36.240 couldn't minister. I didn't have the training, the experience. Twenty 0:14:36.240 --> 0:14:41.080 four years later, I'm still here. Press past the negative chatter. 0:14:41.960 --> 0:14:45.520 You'll never get in that college, never start your business, 0:14:45.720 --> 0:14:49.080 never write your book, never see your family restored. Tune 0:14:49.120 --> 0:14:52.800 all that out. People don't determine your destiny. They don't 0:14:52.840 --> 0:14:55.400 know what God put in you. They're looking at it 0:14:55.480 --> 0:14:59.400 all in the natural. They don't realize when you activate 0:14:59.440 --> 0:15:03.560 the flow, there's a supernatural power. God will step in 0:15:03.840 --> 0:15:07.120 and open doors that no person can shut, give you 0:15:07.200 --> 0:15:11.000 good breaks that catapult you ahead bring healing. When the 0:15:11.040 --> 0:15:14.040 medical report says, no way, He'll promote you when you 0:15:14.080 --> 0:15:17.040 don't have the credentials, when you're not the next in line. 0:15:17.640 --> 0:15:22.240 What happened You tapped in to a supernatural flow. This 0:15:22.440 --> 0:15:26.240 lady faced her greatest opposition when she was closest to 0:15:26.320 --> 0:15:30.800 the healing. It was crowded, she was weary. People told 0:15:30.800 --> 0:15:34.000 her it would never happen. But she made this choice 0:15:34.200 --> 0:15:37.000 to press through and activate the flow, and that's what 0:15:37.120 --> 0:15:40.440 brought the healing her faith. You may be in a 0:15:40.480 --> 0:15:43.640 situation now where you don't see a way out, the 0:15:43.680 --> 0:15:46.800 odds are against you. Can I encourage you? You are 0:15:46.920 --> 0:15:50.280 just one flow away from seeing God do more than 0:15:50.280 --> 0:15:53.480 you've ever dreamed. This is not the time to let 0:15:53.560 --> 0:15:57.920 doubt talk you out of it. Let disappointments what didn't 0:15:57.960 --> 0:16:01.080 work out cause you to water down you dream. Let 0:16:01.160 --> 0:16:04.520 how long it's been convince you that you've missed your time. 0:16:05.240 --> 0:16:09.320 God is saying, keep pushing through the crowd, keep believing, 0:16:09.720 --> 0:16:14.280 keep expecting, keep declaring. You're on the verge of activating 0:16:14.320 --> 0:16:17.560 a flow of favor that you've never seen, a flow 0:16:17.600 --> 0:16:22.040 of supernatural power doors opening you couldn't open the right 0:16:22.160 --> 0:16:26.560 People finding you problems that look permanent suddenly turning around. 0:16:27.040 --> 0:16:30.200 You can't explain it. It doesn't make sense. It's the 0:16:30.240 --> 0:16:34.040 goodness of God showing out in your life. Well, Joel, 0:16:34.080 --> 0:16:36.520 this sounds good, But I've gone as far as I 0:16:36.560 --> 0:16:40.080 can in my career. I think I'm stuck here. Try 0:16:40.080 --> 0:16:43.600 a better approach. Father, I thank you for what you promised. 0:16:43.760 --> 0:16:47.120 That the path of the righteous gets brighter and brighter. Lord, 0:16:47.160 --> 0:16:49.920 you said you're taking me from glory to glory that 0:16:50.040 --> 0:16:53.560 I haven't seen, heard or imagined what you have in store. 0:16:54.520 --> 0:16:58.080 That's activating the flow. That's when God will make things 0:16:58.160 --> 0:17:01.760 happen that you could never make happen. I talked to 0:17:01.800 --> 0:17:04.199 a young couple that had been trying to have a 0:17:04.240 --> 0:17:07.120 baby for a long time. The wife had taken all 0:17:07.119 --> 0:17:11.159 the fertility treatments, and they were very discouraging, thinking it 0:17:11.240 --> 0:17:14.119 wasn't meant to be. But like this woman with the 0:17:14.200 --> 0:17:17.080 issue of blood, you have to press past the doubt, 0:17:17.800 --> 0:17:22.439 press past the discouragement, press past negative things that people 0:17:22.480 --> 0:17:26.560 have spoken over you, and get in agreement with God. Father, 0:17:26.640 --> 0:17:28.919 you said in Psalms that you would make me the 0:17:29.000 --> 0:17:32.199 happy mother of children. You said, my children will be 0:17:32.320 --> 0:17:34.600 mighty in the land. So Lord I thank you for 0:17:34.720 --> 0:17:38.680 that baby that's on the way, that's touching the edge 0:17:38.760 --> 0:17:42.480 of Jesus road. That's how you activate that flow. You 0:17:42.600 --> 0:17:47.800 keep expecting, you keep declaring, keep believing. Someone says, I 0:17:47.800 --> 0:17:50.360 don't think it's going to happen. Your attitude should be 0:17:50.560 --> 0:17:53.439 no offense. But I'm not moved by what you think. 0:17:53.880 --> 0:17:56.479 I have a made up mind. I'm not moved by 0:17:56.520 --> 0:18:00.040 the facts. By how long it's been. I know. So 0:18:00.200 --> 0:18:04.359 what God promised is on the way. After six years 0:18:04.400 --> 0:18:06.480 of not being able to have a child. A few 0:18:06.520 --> 0:18:10.000 weeks ago, they brought their beautiful baby girl up to 0:18:10.040 --> 0:18:15.040 see me. When you activate that flow, God will make 0:18:15.119 --> 0:18:19.159 things happen that defy the odds. And this lady that 0:18:19.240 --> 0:18:22.680 had the bleeding disorder twelve years back in those days, 0:18:22.800 --> 0:18:26.600 she would have been considered unclean. She was an outcast. 0:18:27.080 --> 0:18:30.760 She would have lived alone, wasn't supposed to be around people, 0:18:31.440 --> 0:18:34.080 and she was making her way through the crowd. The 0:18:34.160 --> 0:18:36.879 whole time. In the back of her mind, she was thinking, 0:18:37.280 --> 0:18:40.000 I'm doing something wrong. I'm not supposed to be in 0:18:40.040 --> 0:18:43.760 a crowd. She was going against protocol. She could get 0:18:43.800 --> 0:18:47.160 in trouble when she touched the edge of Jesus's robe 0:18:47.160 --> 0:18:50.840 and felt that healing. While she was excited, she didn't 0:18:50.840 --> 0:18:53.440 know Jesus was going to stop. She didn't know it's 0:18:53.440 --> 0:18:56.000 going to turn into this big ordeal where all the 0:18:56.080 --> 0:18:59.600 attention would be focused on her. But the scripture says 0:18:59.800 --> 0:19:03.600 ge Jesays kept looking around to see who had touched him. 0:19:04.040 --> 0:19:07.520 He was searching the crowd. You can imagine how this 0:19:07.600 --> 0:19:10.640 woman felt, knowing that she was a one and she's 0:19:10.680 --> 0:19:14.400 not supposed to be there. She's unclean. Verse thirty three 0:19:14.480 --> 0:19:18.679 says she fell at Jesus' feet, trembling in fear. She 0:19:18.720 --> 0:19:21.080 didn't know what to expect. What was she going to 0:19:21.119 --> 0:19:24.440 get in trouble? Would? He berated her in front of everyone? 0:19:24.840 --> 0:19:28.600 What are you doing here? Was this incredible moment, this 0:19:28.720 --> 0:19:32.920 drama taking place, her heart beating so fast, her hand shaking, 0:19:33.119 --> 0:19:38.520 everyone watching. Jesus walked closer and said, daughter, your faith 0:19:38.680 --> 0:19:42.600 has made you whole. It's significant that he addressed her 0:19:42.640 --> 0:19:47.520 as daughter. He could have said lady, woman, man. But 0:19:47.600 --> 0:19:51.560 the reason he said daughter is he was publicly declaring 0:19:51.920 --> 0:19:54.959 that this lady is not only healed, but she is 0:19:55.040 --> 0:19:59.639 no longer unclean. She's not an outcast anymore. She is 0:19:59.680 --> 0:20:04.120 a of the most High God. He was taking away 0:20:04.560 --> 0:20:09.280 all the shame, removing the embarrassment heaven to be alone, 0:20:09.880 --> 0:20:14.520 looked down on, considered unclean. He was telling them, don't 0:20:14.600 --> 0:20:17.400 you treat her the same way. Don't you look down 0:20:17.440 --> 0:20:21.160 on her, dishonor her, leave her out. This is a 0:20:21.200 --> 0:20:24.719 new day, not only healing for your body, but healing 0:20:24.760 --> 0:20:28.159 for your soul. Look at how good our God is. 0:20:28.320 --> 0:20:31.639 She thought. He may be upset, He may condemn me, 0:20:32.080 --> 0:20:35.600 humiliate me, and for all these people. But God, who 0:20:35.680 --> 0:20:39.800 is rich in mercy, Our God restores the fallen, He 0:20:39.800 --> 0:20:44.280 heals the broken, He forgives the wrong. Here Jesus had 0:20:44.320 --> 0:20:48.560 everyone's attention, everyone listening, thinking, what's he going to say 0:20:48.560 --> 0:20:51.720 about this lady. We know she's an outcast, we know 0:20:51.840 --> 0:20:56.520 she's unclean. She interrupted Jesus. But when Jesus called her daughter, 0:20:56.920 --> 0:21:01.080 everything changed. He gave her her dignity back. He was saying, 0:21:01.119 --> 0:21:04.760 this is my child. No more shame, no more hiding, 0:21:05.240 --> 0:21:09.800 no more living in the background, feeling unclean, unworthy, not 0:21:09.880 --> 0:21:13.159 good enough. I'm healing your body and I'm putting my 0:21:13.280 --> 0:21:17.399 honor on you. Her life was not only forever change 0:21:17.440 --> 0:21:21.280 that day physically, but on the inside, her self worth, 0:21:21.840 --> 0:21:27.440 her value, how she saw herself was forever changed. Sometimes 0:21:27.640 --> 0:21:30.360 we don't go to God because we think we're unclean. 0:21:31.080 --> 0:21:34.960 We've made mistakes, taking the wrong path, Julia, how can 0:21:35.000 --> 0:21:39.000 I activate this flow? I haven't performed perfectly. I'm not 0:21:39.040 --> 0:21:42.119 where I should be in life. The good news is 0:21:42.520 --> 0:21:46.400 God is not holding your faults against you. His love 0:21:46.600 --> 0:21:50.119 is not based on your performance. If you'll go to him, 0:21:50.440 --> 0:21:53.120 he's not going to condemn you. He's going to heal you. 0:21:53.720 --> 0:21:55.800 He's not going to push you down. He's going to 0:21:55.840 --> 0:21:59.280 lift you up. He's the one that will remove the shame, 0:22:00.000 --> 0:22:03.720 give you your honor back, not just privately, but he'll 0:22:03.800 --> 0:22:09.040 let others see you restored, free, valuable, rising to new levels. 0:22:09.880 --> 0:22:13.560 He's not calling you lady, ma'am girl. He's calling you 0:22:13.760 --> 0:22:18.480 daughter of the most High, son of the most High, redeemed, forgiven, 0:22:18.960 --> 0:22:23.720 fearfully and wonderfully made. Get rid of the shame. No 0:22:23.840 --> 0:22:27.960 more unclean, you are worthy, no more an outcast. You 0:22:28.000 --> 0:22:32.000 are accepted, no more embarrassed by your past hiding in 0:22:32.040 --> 0:22:36.439 the background. You've been approved by Almighty God. Your past 0:22:36.600 --> 0:22:39.800 is forgiven. This is a new day, and God's doing 0:22:39.840 --> 0:22:43.560 a new thing. I know a young man that immigrated 0:22:43.600 --> 0:22:46.359 to the States from another country, and his family was 0:22:46.480 --> 0:22:49.960 very poor and lived in a very rundown neighborhood, and 0:22:50.560 --> 0:22:54.720 they had a defeated mindset. They were good people, hard working, 0:22:55.119 --> 0:22:58.320 but they had no vision to ever do something significant. 0:22:59.000 --> 0:23:02.679 This young man started and listening to my messages about 0:23:02.800 --> 0:23:05.800 how God wants us to rise higher, how He's put 0:23:05.880 --> 0:23:08.359 seeds of greatness in you, and how he calls you 0:23:08.480 --> 0:23:12.280 his son and his daughter. He started believing that he 0:23:12.320 --> 0:23:14.840 could do great things and he had a dream to 0:23:14.880 --> 0:23:17.600 be in the fashion industry. He wanted to open up 0:23:17.600 --> 0:23:21.320 his own store, but he had no backing, no funds, 0:23:21.640 --> 0:23:24.600 no way in the natural. He did like this woman, 0:23:24.840 --> 0:23:28.720 he pressed past the doubt, pressed past all the naysayers. 0:23:28.880 --> 0:23:32.240 His attitude was God, I know you can make a way, 0:23:32.920 --> 0:23:36.000 even though I don't see a way. He had this expectancy, 0:23:36.160 --> 0:23:39.560 knowing that God was working. One day, he was at 0:23:39.600 --> 0:23:42.840 this plaza off the main freeway. It's a very popular 0:23:42.920 --> 0:23:46.520 shopping center. At the end. A company had gone out 0:23:46.600 --> 0:23:49.159 and there was a space to lease. He took a 0:23:49.200 --> 0:23:52.160 step of faith and was meeting with the owner. Well, 0:23:52.200 --> 0:23:55.080 the owner wasn't for him at all. He was harsh 0:23:55.160 --> 0:23:58.560 and condescending. He didn't like the young man's business plan, 0:23:59.119 --> 0:24:01.440 told him how he would never make it, he didn't 0:24:01.440 --> 0:24:04.439 have any track record. On and on. Just when he 0:24:04.480 --> 0:24:07.280 was about to leave, this man came walking through the 0:24:07.320 --> 0:24:10.679 plaza on his way to the restaurant. It was so 0:24:10.840 --> 0:24:13.359 crowded he had to park at the end and walk 0:24:13.440 --> 0:24:17.000 past them. He was a very influential man, and he 0:24:17.040 --> 0:24:19.320 saw this young man talking with the owner. He knew 0:24:19.359 --> 0:24:22.760 the young man. Their sons played on the same basketball team. 0:24:23.400 --> 0:24:26.560 The owner called out his name. They were good friends. 0:24:27.119 --> 0:24:30.159 This man asked what they were doing talking together. The 0:24:30.200 --> 0:24:33.120 owner said, he wants to lease this space, but there's 0:24:33.160 --> 0:24:36.880 no way. He doesn't have any credentials. That man said, 0:24:36.920 --> 0:24:41.080 are you kidding? I know him. Anything he does is blessed. 0:24:41.240 --> 0:24:45.040 He'll be your most successful talent. The owner looked at 0:24:45.080 --> 0:24:47.240 him right then and there and said, okay, the space 0:24:47.320 --> 0:24:51.480 is yours. When you activate that flow, God will send 0:24:51.480 --> 0:24:55.640 the right people at the right time. Had that man 0:24:56.280 --> 0:24:59.560 parked at the normal place, he wouldn't have a walked 0:24:59.560 --> 0:25:03.480 to that into the plaza. God is ordering your steps 0:25:03.720 --> 0:25:06.239 and the steps of the people that you need. This 0:25:06.359 --> 0:25:10.080 young man today, his career has taken off. He's done 0:25:10.119 --> 0:25:14.440 collaborations with the biggest names in the fashion industry. God 0:25:14.440 --> 0:25:18.399 has done more than he could ever imagine. The scripture says, 0:25:18.600 --> 0:25:22.200 out of your belly will flow rivers of living water. 0:25:23.000 --> 0:25:26.200 God has put amazing things in you that he wants 0:25:26.240 --> 0:25:32.320 to flow out. Dreams, businesses, books, inventions, talent. You may 0:25:32.359 --> 0:25:34.520 have seen some flows in the past, but let me 0:25:34.560 --> 0:25:38.840 declare you're about to step into a greater flow. Greater favor, 0:25:39.160 --> 0:25:44.160 greater influence, greater resources. The scripture says, it is God 0:25:44.320 --> 0:25:47.440 who gives you power to get wealth.
