I'd like to start with something 0:02:07.360 --> 0:02:10.520 funny each week, and I heard about this church service 0:02:10.560 --> 0:02:13.519 on Sunday morning. Everything was going great until a big 0:02:13.560 --> 0:02:17.880 bolt of lightning hit. When the smoke cleared, Satan himself 0:02:18.000 --> 0:02:21.480 was standing behind the podium. People panic ran out as 0:02:21.520 --> 0:02:24.720 fast as they could, all except one lady. She was 0:02:24.760 --> 0:02:27.160 sitting on the front road just as calm as could be. 0:02:27.760 --> 0:02:30.720 Satan was appalled. He said, lady, do you know who 0:02:30.760 --> 0:02:33.600 I am? She said, sure, I do. He said, aren't 0:02:33.600 --> 0:02:36.120 you afraid of me? She said nope, not the least bit. 0:02:36.600 --> 0:02:38.919 He said why not? She said, why should I be? 0:02:39.240 --> 0:02:44.000 I've been married to your brother for thirty years. All right, 0:02:44.160 --> 0:02:46.200 hold up your Bible. Say it like you mean it. 0:02:46.720 --> 0:02:49.519 This is my Bible. I am what it says I am. 0:02:50.000 --> 0:02:52.360 I have what it says I have. I can do 0:02:52.440 --> 0:02:55.040 what it says I can do. Today I will be 0:02:55.120 --> 0:02:59.120 taught the word of God. I boldly confess. My mind 0:02:59.200 --> 0:03:02.520 is alert, my heart is receptive. I will never be 0:03:02.639 --> 0:03:07.240 the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you. I want 0:03:07.280 --> 0:03:12.239 to talk to you today about having uncommon faith. Uncommon 0:03:12.320 --> 0:03:16.840 faith is not average faith. It's not ordinary. It's above 0:03:17.080 --> 0:03:20.560 and beyond. It's where you have a boldness and a 0:03:20.680 --> 0:03:26.280 confidence to believe for the extraordinary. Average faith, says God, 0:03:26.360 --> 0:03:30.919 help me to survive this recession. Uncommon faith says God, 0:03:30.960 --> 0:03:33.799 I believe you'll prosper me right in the midst of 0:03:33.840 --> 0:03:38.320 this recession. Average faith says maybe one day I'll get 0:03:38.360 --> 0:03:40.280 out of this problem. I don't know, it's pretty bad. 0:03:40.880 --> 0:03:44.400 Uncommon faith says I know I'm not only coming out, 0:03:44.600 --> 0:03:46.760 I'm coming out better off than I was before. 0:03:47.880 --> 0:03:49.680 When you have uncommon. 0:03:49.200 --> 0:03:52.560 Faith, you don't just believe to make your monthly house payment. 0:03:52.960 --> 0:03:56.520 You believe to totally pay your house off. You don't just. 0:03:56.520 --> 0:04:00.320 Ask God to help me to control my addiction, ask 0:04:00.360 --> 0:04:05.320 God to totally set you free. Uncommon faith is radical faith. 0:04:05.800 --> 0:04:10.120 It's extreme where you believe God can do anything. You 0:04:10.160 --> 0:04:13.320 don't make little plans. You don't say God, just let 0:04:13.360 --> 0:04:16.200 me go as far as my parents did. Let me 0:04:16.279 --> 0:04:18.760 do as much as they did, then I'll be okay. 0:04:18.839 --> 0:04:20.000 Then I'll be successful. 0:04:20.480 --> 0:04:20.560 No. 0:04:20.800 --> 0:04:24.719 Uncommon faith says God, give me a double portion. Let 0:04:24.760 --> 0:04:27.159 me do twice as much as those that went before me. 0:04:27.640 --> 0:04:29.559 Let me give twice as much. 0:04:29.920 --> 0:04:33.520 Let me have twice the influence, twice, the wisdom twice, 0:04:33.600 --> 0:04:38.480 the friends twice, the creativity, twice the income. Well, you say, Joel, 0:04:38.480 --> 0:04:40.640 that's kind of bold. Who do you think you are? 0:04:40.880 --> 0:04:43.680 Here's who a child of the most tigh God. It's 0:04:43.680 --> 0:04:47.960 full of uncommon faith in some of you today. You 0:04:48.080 --> 0:04:51.160 have average faith, and that's good. You love God, you 0:04:51.240 --> 0:04:53.840 believe to make it through. But if you want to 0:04:53.880 --> 0:04:56.960 see God amaze you with his goodness, you need to 0:04:56.960 --> 0:04:59.960 take it one step further and come over into uncommon 0:05:00.080 --> 0:05:03.880 and faith. Take the limits off of God. Believe you 0:05:03.960 --> 0:05:07.719 can rise higher. Believe you can overcome every obstacle. 0:05:08.520 --> 0:05:10.760 Our faith is what pleases God. 0:05:11.200 --> 0:05:13.560 If you want to be more pleasing to God, one 0:05:13.600 --> 0:05:17.160 way is to simply release your faith in a greater way. 0:05:18.120 --> 0:05:20.320 I read a story about a little seven year old girl. 0:05:20.680 --> 0:05:23.159 Her name is Jamie, and she lives on a farm 0:05:23.200 --> 0:05:25.760 with her parents. They had a cow that was about 0:05:25.800 --> 0:05:28.680 to give birth, and the father had already told the 0:05:28.720 --> 0:05:31.520 family that they were not going to keep any more cows. 0:05:31.839 --> 0:05:34.400 They had enough, and any time a new little calf 0:05:34.480 --> 0:05:37.040 was born, they would either give it away or sell it. 0:05:37.480 --> 0:05:40.719 But for some reason, little Jamie really wanted to keep 0:05:40.760 --> 0:05:43.760 this cow. She had it set in her heart, and 0:05:43.839 --> 0:05:46.160 so she began to plead and plead with her father 0:05:46.279 --> 0:05:50.039 day after day, Daddy, please make an exception, Let me 0:05:50.160 --> 0:05:53.320 keep this cow, just one more little calf from me. 0:05:54.160 --> 0:05:56.360 After a couple of weeks, she wore her father down. 0:05:56.839 --> 0:05:59.440 He said, Jamie, I'll make a deal with you. If 0:05:59.480 --> 0:06:02.240 the calf is born black, then you can keep it. 0:06:02.640 --> 0:06:06.080 But if it's brown or spotted like our other cows, 0:06:06.200 --> 0:06:07.400 then we're going to get rid of it. 0:06:07.680 --> 0:06:09.279 They agreed they had a deal. 0:06:09.720 --> 0:06:13.000 Well, little Jamie didn't know any better. She started praying 0:06:13.480 --> 0:06:16.719 and asking God that that calf would be born black. 0:06:17.360 --> 0:06:19.919 Every night before she went to bed, she said, Father, 0:06:20.000 --> 0:06:22.280 I want to thank you that this little calf is 0:06:22.400 --> 0:06:24.920 going to be as black as can be, and that 0:06:24.960 --> 0:06:27.719 there won't be any doubt about it that it belongs 0:06:27.760 --> 0:06:32.480 to me. That's uncommon faith. Most of us adults would 0:06:32.480 --> 0:06:35.200 never pray for anything like that. We would think that's 0:06:35.240 --> 0:06:38.360 far out. You can't pray about a cow. That's radical, 0:06:38.600 --> 0:06:43.320 that's extreme. But here's what I've learned. Radical faith gets 0:06:43.400 --> 0:06:49.280 radical results. Extreme faith gets extreme results. A few weeks later, 0:06:49.400 --> 0:06:52.320 the little calf was born. It was not only black, 0:06:52.680 --> 0:06:56.679 but right between their eyes there was this jame remember 0:06:56.720 --> 0:06:59.960 her name is Jamie. It's like God put a big 0:07:00.080 --> 0:07:04.760 stamp on it. God said, I want to make sure 0:07:05.000 --> 0:07:09.240 you understand this little calf belongs to Jamie. What am 0:07:09.240 --> 0:07:13.239 I saying? When you release your faith in uncommon ways, 0:07:13.560 --> 0:07:16.200 you're going to see God begin to do uncommon things. 0:07:17.120 --> 0:07:19.960 The medical report may say it's impossible for you to 0:07:20.000 --> 0:07:23.720 get well, but there is another report that says, with God, 0:07:23.920 --> 0:07:27.520 all things are possible. When you have this uncommon faith. 0:07:27.600 --> 0:07:29.880 You rise up and say, you know what that's for me? 0:07:30.480 --> 0:07:32.600 Even though I don't see a way, God, I know 0:07:32.680 --> 0:07:34.800 you can make a way. So I want to thank 0:07:34.880 --> 0:07:38.920 you for restoring health back into me. In your finances, 0:07:39.000 --> 0:07:40.840 it may look like you'll never get out of debt, 0:07:41.080 --> 0:07:44.320 you'll never see your business take off. But there's another 0:07:44.440 --> 0:07:48.080 report that says God's favor surrounds you like a shield. 0:07:48.560 --> 0:07:51.840 It says you are blessed and whatever you put your hands. 0:07:51.520 --> 0:07:54.520 To, we'll prosper well. You say, Joel, I don't think so, 0:07:55.040 --> 0:07:56.160 not with this economy. 0:07:56.280 --> 0:07:59.120 My business is so slow. I'm just trying to make 0:07:59.160 --> 0:08:02.280 it through. Now, that's average faith that's going to keep 0:08:02.280 --> 0:08:04.600 you right where you are. You've got to come over, 0:08:04.800 --> 0:08:09.880 like little Jamie, into uncommon faith. Our attitude should be God. 0:08:10.080 --> 0:08:13.840 You said that I would lend and not borrow. You said, 0:08:13.880 --> 0:08:16.880 because I'm a giver you would open the windows of 0:08:16.920 --> 0:08:20.640 heaven and pour out blessings that I cannot contain. So, God, 0:08:20.680 --> 0:08:25.080 I'm asking for your supernatural favor. Draw new clients to me, 0:08:25.640 --> 0:08:28.360 cause me to stand out in the crowd. Let my 0:08:28.440 --> 0:08:31.200 gifts and talents come out to the full. God give 0:08:31.240 --> 0:08:32.120 me breaks. 0:08:31.800 --> 0:08:33.199 That I don't even deserve. 0:08:34.120 --> 0:08:37.920 When you tap into that uncommon faith, there's a boldness 0:08:38.120 --> 0:08:42.040 and a confidence to ask for God's goodness in greater ways. 0:08:42.440 --> 0:08:45.920 This is what allows God to do the unusual. I 0:08:45.960 --> 0:08:48.360 know people say, Joel, I don't want to bother God. 0:08:48.600 --> 0:08:51.160 If he wants me blessed, then he'll bless me. If 0:08:51.160 --> 0:08:54.120 he wants me well, then he'll make me well. Now, 0:08:54.200 --> 0:08:57.720 the scripture says you have not because you ask not. 0:08:58.480 --> 0:09:02.360 My question is, do you ever ask for the uncommon? 0:09:03.000 --> 0:09:06.120 Do you ever go beyond asking for your daily needs 0:09:06.520 --> 0:09:11.400 to ask for God's extraordinary favor and unusual breaks so 0:09:11.440 --> 0:09:15.760 you can accomplish your dreams overcome obstacles. This is just 0:09:15.800 --> 0:09:18.400 what Joshua did. He was in the midst of a 0:09:18.440 --> 0:09:21.480 great battle. He and his men were trying to finish 0:09:21.520 --> 0:09:23.040 off this army, but. 0:09:23.080 --> 0:09:24.480 The sun was going down. 0:09:24.840 --> 0:09:27.840 They were running out of daylight and Joshua knew that 0:09:28.120 --> 0:09:31.679 if he couldn't get this army totally defeated, then later 0:09:31.720 --> 0:09:34.840 on they would rise up and cause him problems. He 0:09:34.840 --> 0:09:37.760 could have easily gotten discouraged, thought it's not going to happen, 0:09:37.800 --> 0:09:41.920 too bad for me. But Joshua had this uncommon faith. 0:09:42.320 --> 0:09:45.800 He was bold. He said, God, I know this is unusual. 0:09:46.080 --> 0:09:48.120 I know this is out of the ordinary, but I'm 0:09:48.160 --> 0:09:51.000 asking you to stop the sun so I can have 0:09:51.160 --> 0:09:56.600 more daylight and totally complete this task. Imagine the nerve 0:09:56.760 --> 0:10:00.040 of Joshua. He asked God to do something that it 0:10:00.080 --> 0:10:03.960 had never been done before. God could have said, Joshua, 0:10:04.120 --> 0:10:06.400 who do you think you are. I Am not going 0:10:06.440 --> 0:10:09.360 to stop the sun. That's kind of selfish. That might 0:10:09.400 --> 0:10:13.520 disrupt other people. Now, when you have this uncommon faith, 0:10:13.880 --> 0:10:16.880 it brings a smile to God's face. I can see 0:10:16.920 --> 0:10:19.520 God turn to the angels and say, listen to what 0:10:19.600 --> 0:10:24.199 this man is saying. He's extreme, he's radical. He believes 0:10:24.240 --> 0:10:27.360 I can do anything. He's asking me to stop the sun. 0:10:28.240 --> 0:10:31.200 God said, in effect, Joshua, you're bold enough to ask 0:10:31.280 --> 0:10:33.000 it that I'm bold enough to do it. 0:10:33.480 --> 0:10:35.479 The scripture says the son. 0:10:35.480 --> 0:10:40.320 Stood still until he completely finished off that army. It 0:10:40.400 --> 0:10:42.960 goes on to talk about how there had never been 0:10:43.000 --> 0:10:46.440 a day like that before. The people stood there in 0:10:46.559 --> 0:10:47.480 utter amazement. 0:10:48.160 --> 0:10:48.880 What happened. 0:10:49.280 --> 0:10:53.960 God interrupted the entire universe just because one man had 0:10:54.040 --> 0:10:59.240 uncommon faith. I remember when I first started ministering, right 0:10:59.280 --> 0:11:01.760 after my father to be with the Lord. I was 0:11:01.880 --> 0:11:04.319 very concerned that the crowds were going to stay up 0:11:04.320 --> 0:11:07.120 and people were going to continue to come. I was 0:11:07.200 --> 0:11:10.960 doing my best every week, praying, believe in studying, but 0:11:11.000 --> 0:11:14.280 I knew from years past that anytime it rained on 0:11:14.360 --> 0:11:15.720 Sunday mornings. 0:11:15.320 --> 0:11:16.520 The crowds would be down. 0:11:17.240 --> 0:11:20.320 At our older facility, the parking was spread out on 0:11:20.440 --> 0:11:23.840 thirty acres all around the building. It's not covered like 0:11:23.880 --> 0:11:26.240 it is here, and so if it ever rained, it 0:11:26.320 --> 0:11:29.800 was almost impossible to get in the auditorium without being 0:11:29.880 --> 0:11:32.760 totally drenched. And this was all very new to me, 0:11:32.960 --> 0:11:36.240 being up in front of people. I'm naturally more quiet 0:11:36.280 --> 0:11:39.360 and more reserved, but for some reason back then, I 0:11:39.480 --> 0:11:44.840 especially had this uncommon faith, this unusual boldness, and every 0:11:44.920 --> 0:11:48.440 week I would pray that it would not rain during 0:11:48.480 --> 0:11:49.880 our Sunday morning services. 0:11:50.480 --> 0:11:52.160 I never told anybody about it. 0:11:52.320 --> 0:11:56.480 Only Victoria I know other people would think that's far out, Joel, 0:11:56.559 --> 0:11:59.600 that's extreme. You can't pray that it's not going to rain. 0:12:00.080 --> 0:12:03.520 You think you are. But God is my witness. For 0:12:03.640 --> 0:12:07.480 two years, on the Sundays I was ministering, it might 0:12:07.600 --> 0:12:10.839 rain an hour before the service or two hours after 0:12:10.880 --> 0:12:14.800 the service, but it never once rained during those Sunday services. 0:12:16.600 --> 0:12:20.160 There were times when I would leave my house thirty 0:12:20.160 --> 0:12:23.120 minutes away and it would be raining very heavily. But 0:12:23.200 --> 0:12:25.240 when I got close to the church a couple of 0:12:25.240 --> 0:12:28.400 miles away, it was like somebody had a big umbrella 0:12:28.480 --> 0:12:30.920 over the property. It was just as dry as could be. 0:12:31.960 --> 0:12:36.000 I would start on Wednesdays watching the weather reports. I 0:12:36.120 --> 0:12:39.240 know more about high pressure low pressure du points. 0:12:39.640 --> 0:12:41.480 I could fill in for a weather man. 0:12:41.800 --> 0:12:44.080 But if I saw any sign of bad weather on 0:12:44.120 --> 0:12:46.640 the weekend, i'd go to work. I'd start praying, God, 0:12:46.640 --> 0:12:49.480 I'm asking you to hold this rain off. I would bind, 0:12:49.600 --> 0:12:52.480 i would loose, i'd rebuke, i'd confess, i'd sing, I'd 0:12:52.480 --> 0:12:56.680 shout no rain. One time, there was a major storm 0:12:56.679 --> 0:13:00.200 predicted for Sunday morning, ninety percent chance of rain, thunder 0:13:00.280 --> 0:13:03.680 and enlightening. I could hardly sleep the night before, but 0:13:03.760 --> 0:13:06.040 I got off on that Sunday, and Lord and behold 0:13:06.240 --> 0:13:08.680 it was just as clear and beautiful as can be. 0:13:08.960 --> 0:13:12.160 The front had gotten delayed. And some people think, oh, 0:13:12.200 --> 0:13:15.280 that's just a lucky break, that's just a coincidence. But 0:13:15.360 --> 0:13:17.640 I'm bold enough to believe that was the hand of 0:13:17.679 --> 0:13:22.320 God holding back the rain. It's funny on the weekends 0:13:22.320 --> 0:13:25.680 that I wasn't speaking, I wouldn't pray, and time and 0:13:25.760 --> 0:13:28.760 time again it would rain. I thought, that's okay, I 0:13:28.760 --> 0:13:33.560 am not using my faith for somebody else's services. Now. 0:13:33.600 --> 0:13:35.760 I know this may sound far out, but we. 0:13:35.720 --> 0:13:39.959 Serve a far out God. He wants to do exceedingly, 0:13:40.280 --> 0:13:41.920 abundantly above. 0:13:42.240 --> 0:13:45.000 All we can ask, think, or imagine. 0:13:45.520 --> 0:13:49.560 When you have uncommon faith, you will see uncommon results. 0:13:50.160 --> 0:13:53.280 And you may not need something as trivial as good weather. 0:13:53.800 --> 0:13:56.720 Maybe you need for God to heal a child. Maybe 0:13:56.760 --> 0:14:00.480 you need a relationship restored, you need favor at work 0:14:00.480 --> 0:14:03.520 with a client, you need a break in that legal situation. 0:14:04.360 --> 0:14:08.680 Are you releasing your faith for the extraordinary for the uncommon? 0:14:09.600 --> 0:14:12.440 I have a friend that has a daughter, and years ago, 0:14:12.480 --> 0:14:15.160 when she was about three years old, she was involved 0:14:15.200 --> 0:14:16.079 in an accident. 0:14:16.520 --> 0:14:17.520 Something fell on. 0:14:17.440 --> 0:14:20.320 Two of her fingers and cut the very tips of 0:14:20.360 --> 0:14:23.240 them off. They rushed her to the emergency room, and 0:14:23.680 --> 0:14:27.280 after they stopped the bleeding, a leading plastic surgeon came 0:14:27.320 --> 0:14:30.360 in and examined the little girl's fingers. He said to 0:14:30.400 --> 0:14:33.280 the father, I'm sorry to tell you this, but there's 0:14:33.320 --> 0:14:36.040 nothing we're going to be able to do to restore 0:14:36.080 --> 0:14:39.440 your daughter's fingers totally back to normal. The bone has 0:14:39.520 --> 0:14:42.720 been cut, there'll always be a little bit shorter, and 0:14:42.760 --> 0:14:46.400 she'll never have fingernails on these two fingers. All they 0:14:46.400 --> 0:14:48.520 could do was a skin graft to try to smooth 0:14:48.520 --> 0:14:52.880 things over. And this father was very respectful, but he said, doctor, 0:14:53.040 --> 0:14:56.720 I believe that God can restore my little girl's fingers 0:14:57.000 --> 0:14:58.560 and make them normal once again. 0:14:59.280 --> 0:15:01.160 The doctor looked at him very odd. 0:15:01.600 --> 0:15:04.080 He was from another country and didn't have any kind 0:15:04.080 --> 0:15:07.400 of religious upbringing. That was very strange to him. The 0:15:07.440 --> 0:15:09.480 doctor said, well, sir, you can believe like that if 0:15:09.520 --> 0:15:12.040 you want to, but I'm just telling you the facts. 0:15:12.360 --> 0:15:15.440 The bone has been cut, they will always be shorter, 0:15:15.760 --> 0:15:18.440 and for sure she will not have fingernails on those 0:15:18.480 --> 0:15:21.920 two fingers. A little later, the man's wife came in. 0:15:22.320 --> 0:15:25.240 The doctor got her off to the side and said, 0:15:25.280 --> 0:15:26.440 your husband. 0:15:26.160 --> 0:15:26.800 Is in shock. 0:15:27.280 --> 0:15:29.640 He won't accept the fact that the tips of your 0:15:29.720 --> 0:15:32.640 daughter's fingers have been cut off. She said, that's fine, 0:15:32.680 --> 0:15:34.680 I'll talk to him about it. They did the skin 0:15:34.760 --> 0:15:37.680 graft surgery, and six weeks later they went back for 0:15:37.760 --> 0:15:38.400 the checkup. 0:15:38.760 --> 0:15:40.360 When the doctor removed. 0:15:39.920 --> 0:15:43.400 The bandages from the little girl's fingers, the first words 0:15:43.400 --> 0:15:47.160 out of his mouth were, oh my God. The husband 0:15:47.200 --> 0:15:50.200 was alarmed. He said, doctor, what's wrong. He said, nothing's wrong. 0:15:50.440 --> 0:15:53.440 Your little girl has fingernails and it looks like the 0:15:53.560 --> 0:15:59.080 link is the exact right length. Criends. God can do 0:15:59.680 --> 0:16:05.360 what some people cannot do. God's laws supersedes the laws 0:16:05.400 --> 0:16:08.000 of nature. And I'm not saying for us to be 0:16:08.120 --> 0:16:12.640 flaking go around denying reality, but too often we just 0:16:12.800 --> 0:16:16.040 accept things as the way it's always going to be. Joel. 0:16:16.120 --> 0:16:19.040 This is what the expert told me. That may be true, 0:16:19.080 --> 0:16:22.560 and I respect that. But there is another expert that 0:16:22.680 --> 0:16:23.960 breeds his life into you. 0:16:24.560 --> 0:16:26.040 God created your body. 0:16:26.760 --> 0:16:29.760 He holds you in the palm of his hand. And 0:16:29.960 --> 0:16:32.760 just like he can keep the rain back, God can 0:16:32.800 --> 0:16:35.720 heal a little girl's fingers, just like he stopped the 0:16:35.760 --> 0:16:39.320 sun for Joshua, he can help you overcome your obstacles. 0:16:39.720 --> 0:16:42.160 Just like he caused a cow to be born black 0:16:42.240 --> 0:16:45.240 with the white jay, God can give you favor to 0:16:45.320 --> 0:16:49.240 accomplish your dreams. The question is are you bold enough 0:16:49.280 --> 0:16:53.240 to ask? Are you releasing your faith in radical ways? 0:16:53.880 --> 0:16:56.480 This is what my father did. He was raised in 0:16:56.600 --> 0:17:00.800 extreme poverty. His parents were cotton farmers. They lost everything 0:17:00.840 --> 0:17:04.720 they had during the Great Depression. My father had no money, 0:17:05.200 --> 0:17:08.240 no education at the time, no future to speak of. 0:17:08.880 --> 0:17:11.479 But at the age of seventeen that he gave his 0:17:11.520 --> 0:17:14.480 life to Christ. God put a dream in his heart 0:17:14.760 --> 0:17:17.800 that one day he would minister the people around the 0:17:17.800 --> 0:17:22.440 world in the natural. It looked totally impossible. You might 0:17:22.480 --> 0:17:24.000 as well have said that he was going to go 0:17:24.080 --> 0:17:27.480 to the moon. He had no connections, no way to 0:17:27.520 --> 0:17:31.080 get out of that limited environment. All he had was 0:17:31.080 --> 0:17:34.760 this uncommon faith. He dared to ask God for the 0:17:34.880 --> 0:17:38.440 right breaks, the right opportunities to open up the right doors. 0:17:39.200 --> 0:17:43.640 Years later, as we would travel to India together, everywhere 0:17:43.640 --> 0:17:47.119 we went, when the young Indian minister saw my father, 0:17:47.560 --> 0:17:49.959 they would hold up their Bibles and say, in their 0:17:50.000 --> 0:17:51.880 own language, this is my Bible. 0:17:52.119 --> 0:17:53.360 I am what it says I am. 0:17:54.000 --> 0:17:56.840 We were way back in the jungles of Thailand, walking 0:17:56.880 --> 0:17:59.240 by this little hut, and we saw a family in 0:17:59.320 --> 0:18:03.159 there watching a video of my father ministering from Lakewood 0:18:03.600 --> 0:18:06.960 going down the Amazon River. Back in the villages, we 0:18:07.040 --> 0:18:10.840 saw people reading my father's books in Spanish. How could 0:18:10.880 --> 0:18:14.560 it be that a young boy with no resources, no 0:18:14.720 --> 0:18:19.400 connections could fulfill his dream and not only touch people here, 0:18:19.640 --> 0:18:23.240 but people all over the world. It was because he 0:18:23.359 --> 0:18:27.639 had this uncommon faith. My father didn't settle where a 0:18:27.640 --> 0:18:30.879 lot of people would have settled when all the odds 0:18:30.920 --> 0:18:31.800 were against him. 0:18:32.160 --> 0:18:35.200 Instead of giving up, he believed that God would make 0:18:35.240 --> 0:18:35.560 a way. 0:18:36.000 --> 0:18:39.359 He was bold enough to ask for God's favor. He 0:18:39.400 --> 0:18:42.720 saw God taking places that he never even dreamed of. 0:18:43.440 --> 0:18:47.600 What's holding you back? It's easy to make excuses. I 0:18:47.680 --> 0:18:50.720 come from the wrong family, Joel. I didn't get good 0:18:50.800 --> 0:18:54.199 breaks like you did. I've had this problem too long, 0:18:54.560 --> 0:18:55.959 the economies too down. 0:18:56.040 --> 0:18:57.760 I've made too many mistakes. 0:18:58.520 --> 0:19:02.439 No God can still get you to your final destination. 0:19:02.920 --> 0:19:05.280 Now I want to light a new fire under you today. 0:19:05.680 --> 0:19:09.320 There is no obstacle too difficult for you to overcome. 0:19:09.960 --> 0:19:12.040 There is no dream that God has put in your 0:19:12.080 --> 0:19:14.960 heart that is too big for you to accomplish. 0:19:15.520 --> 0:19:18.360 Ask yourself, is my faith radical? 0:19:19.119 --> 0:19:22.760 Is what I'm believing for the vision for my life? 0:19:22.920 --> 0:19:23.640 Is it big. 0:19:23.560 --> 0:19:26.520 Enough to make someone think? What's his problem? 0:19:26.840 --> 0:19:28.040 Who does he think he is? 0:19:29.040 --> 0:19:31.320 Or have you gotten stuck in a rug to where 0:19:31.320 --> 0:19:34.040 you're just accepting where you are as the way it's 0:19:34.040 --> 0:19:37.840 always going to be. Now, if you're not stretching your faith, 0:19:38.320 --> 0:19:41.359 you're not tapping in to everything God has in store. 0:19:42.040 --> 0:19:43.520 I love the story of Elisha. 0:19:44.200 --> 0:19:48.280 For years and years he took care of the prophet Elijah. 0:19:48.359 --> 0:19:50.800 He was his assistant. He would make sure he had 0:19:50.840 --> 0:19:54.240 food and water. He traveled with him from city to city. 0:19:54.840 --> 0:19:58.400 The prophet Elijah was an older gentleman, very well known, 0:19:58.520 --> 0:20:02.280 well respected for the miracles he performed, just for being 0:20:02.280 --> 0:20:05.200 a man of God. When Elijah got way up there 0:20:05.240 --> 0:20:07.639 in years and was about to go to heaven, he 0:20:07.720 --> 0:20:11.119 said to his assistant, Elisha, you've been faithful to me 0:20:11.359 --> 0:20:12.480 all this time. 0:20:12.920 --> 0:20:14.160 Now what do you want. 0:20:14.000 --> 0:20:17.480 Me to do for you before I leave? You would 0:20:17.480 --> 0:20:19.160 have thought Elisha would have asked. 0:20:18.960 --> 0:20:19.840 For something simple. 0:20:20.440 --> 0:20:23.240 Just give me a bonus, give me a couple weeks off, 0:20:23.359 --> 0:20:27.880 throw me a party. No, Elisha was thinking in uncommon ways. 0:20:28.359 --> 0:20:31.920 He said, Elijah, I would like to have a double 0:20:32.160 --> 0:20:35.879 portion of your spirit. He was saying, I want to 0:20:35.920 --> 0:20:38.040 do twice the miracles that you've done. 0:20:38.480 --> 0:20:39.120 I want to have. 0:20:39.119 --> 0:20:44.360 Twice the influence, twice, the wisdom, twice, the friends, twice 0:20:44.440 --> 0:20:49.440 the income. I'm sure Elijah nearly passed out. I'm sure 0:20:49.480 --> 0:20:52.000 he thought, boy, you are bold. You are something else. 0:20:52.760 --> 0:20:58.320 He said, Elisha, you have asked a hard thing. Nevertheless, 0:20:59.040 --> 0:21:00.160 that's the key word. 0:21:00.320 --> 0:21:00.920 He was saying. 0:21:01.119 --> 0:21:05.040 It may be hard, you've asked for something big. Nevertheless, 0:21:05.560 --> 0:21:06.600 it will happen. 0:21:06.760 --> 0:21:09.720 It is not too big for God. If you study his. 0:21:09.640 --> 0:21:12.960 Life, you'll find out that's exactly what happened. He did 0:21:13.000 --> 0:21:17.440 twice the miracles. He had a double portion of his anointing. 0:21:18.240 --> 0:21:20.720 I wonder what would happen if each one of us 0:21:21.200 --> 0:21:24.280 would be bold enough to say, God, I'm asking. 0:21:24.000 --> 0:21:27.080 You to let me do twice what my parents did. 0:21:27.720 --> 0:21:31.720 Let me have twice the influence, twice, the wisdom, twice, 0:21:31.800 --> 0:21:36.080 the favor, twice the income. When my father went to 0:21:36.119 --> 0:21:38.239 be with the Lord, people used to come up to 0:21:38.280 --> 0:21:41.560 me and say, do you think you can continue on 0:21:41.720 --> 0:21:44.360 what your dad and mom have started? And I never 0:21:44.400 --> 0:21:47.679 said this arrogantly, but I would always tell them I 0:21:47.760 --> 0:21:51.240 don't think that I can just continue it. I believe 0:21:51.560 --> 0:21:55.240 that I can go further. That's the way God intended 0:21:55.280 --> 0:21:57.800 it for every generation to increase. 0:21:59.200 --> 0:21:59.920 And it's interesting. 0:22:01.560 --> 0:22:04.280 The former sanctuary that my mom and dad built. 0:22:04.160 --> 0:22:05.760 It had eight thousand seats. 0:22:06.280 --> 0:22:10.280 This new auditorium has sixteen thousand seats, exactly double. 0:22:10.680 --> 0:22:11.879 And I'm not bragging on me. 0:22:12.080 --> 0:22:15.119 I'm simply making the case that if you will take 0:22:15.160 --> 0:22:18.280 the limits off of God and release your faith in 0:22:18.480 --> 0:22:22.600 uncommon ways, then you will see God do uncommon things. 0:22:22.920 --> 0:22:25.600 You'll look up like Joshua and say wow, I have 0:22:25.720 --> 0:22:29.280 never seen anything like this before. I know. I was 0:22:29.400 --> 0:22:33.120 raised in church, and still every time I come into 0:22:33.119 --> 0:22:37.000 this new facility, a former basketball arena where I used 0:22:37.000 --> 0:22:39.919 to have season tickets to watch the Rockets play, and 0:22:40.000 --> 0:22:42.600 I see all you guys gathered to worship, and I 0:22:42.640 --> 0:22:46.159 think about how good God's been to us. Just like Joshua, 0:22:46.480 --> 0:22:49.439 I stand there in amazement and say, Wow, God, you 0:22:49.520 --> 0:22:52.400 have shown up and shown out in amazing ways. 0:22:53.440 --> 0:22:54.960 Here's the beauty. 0:22:56.400 --> 0:22:59.879 If we will step it up and believe for the uncommon, 0:23:00.480 --> 0:23:04.119 then what is uncommon to us will become common to 0:23:04.200 --> 0:23:07.960 our children. My children think nothing about coming to a 0:23:08.040 --> 0:23:11.080 church this large in a former basketball arena. It's just 0:23:11.200 --> 0:23:14.520 normal to them, and God willing. When it's their time 0:23:14.600 --> 0:23:17.520 to take over, and our children step it up and 0:23:17.560 --> 0:23:21.479 believe for the uncommon and they see that double portion release, 0:23:21.800 --> 0:23:24.560 then God's going to take our children places that we 0:23:24.600 --> 0:23:28.879 cannot even fathom. Right now, what am I saying? Don't 0:23:28.920 --> 0:23:33.240 be satisfied to maintain the status quo in your family. 0:23:33.680 --> 0:23:36.399 God wants you to go further. He wants you to 0:23:36.440 --> 0:23:40.439 set us new standard. Believe for that double portion. Be 0:23:40.560 --> 0:23:44.119 bold like Elisha and say God, let me go twice 0:23:44.160 --> 0:23:45.840 as far as those. 0:23:45.640 --> 0:23:46.679 That have gone before me. 0:23:47.880 --> 0:23:51.439 Maybe you're facing a situation today that looks too far gone, 0:23:52.000 --> 0:23:53.480 looks like it's too late, like it. 0:23:53.400 --> 0:23:54.560 Could never change. 0:23:54.880 --> 0:23:57.080 That's what happened to a young lady in the scripture 0:23:57.359 --> 0:24:01.679 by the name of Martha. Her brother Last was extremely sick. 0:24:02.400 --> 0:24:05.400 Martha and her sister Mary were good friends with Jesus, 0:24:05.720 --> 0:24:07.800 and so they sent word for Jesus to come to 0:24:07.840 --> 0:24:11.280 their home as quickly as possible, But Jesus was out 0:24:11.359 --> 0:24:11.760 of town. 0:24:12.240 --> 0:24:13.360 He kept getting delayed. 0:24:13.520 --> 0:24:18.320 After delay, and long story short, Lazarus died Four days later, 0:24:18.560 --> 0:24:22.560 Jesus showed up at their home. Martha said something amazing. 0:24:23.080 --> 0:24:27.080 She had this uncommon faith. She said there in John eleven, 0:24:27.160 --> 0:24:31.120 verse twenty one, Jesus, if you would have been here sooner, 0:24:31.560 --> 0:24:34.760 my brother would not have died here it comes. But 0:24:35.040 --> 0:24:39.760 I know even now, whatever you ask, God will do 0:24:39.840 --> 0:24:43.919 it for you. Sometimes you have to have an even 0:24:44.040 --> 0:24:48.959 now faith. It looks impossible, looks like it's over. The 0:24:49.000 --> 0:24:52.280 medical report says you're done, the marriage is on the 0:24:52.400 --> 0:24:56.080 last leg. You're down to your final paycheck. That's when 0:24:56.119 --> 0:24:59.240 you got to dig your heels in and say, like Martha, God, 0:24:59.359 --> 0:25:02.640 I know even now you can still turn it around. 0:25:03.800 --> 0:25:07.760 My health is going downhill, but even now you can 0:25:07.800 --> 0:25:11.080 bring healing to my body. My child hadn't spoken to 0:25:11.160 --> 0:25:14.000 me in ten years, but even now you can restore 0:25:14.040 --> 0:25:17.680 this relationship. My finances are running out, but even now 0:25:17.800 --> 0:25:22.480 you can prosper me. Having even now faith, Jesus asked 0:25:22.520 --> 0:25:25.240 them to roll away the stone where Lazarus was buried. 0:25:25.720 --> 0:25:28.159 They made excuses, Jesus, you don't want to do that. 0:25:28.720 --> 0:25:31.960 It stinks, it smells very bad. He's been in there 0:25:31.960 --> 0:25:35.000 for four days. They tried to talk Jesus out of it. 0:25:35.280 --> 0:25:38.560 He said, no, just do what I'm asking. They finally did, 0:25:38.840 --> 0:25:41.880 and you know the story. Jesus prayed, Lazarus came back 0:25:41.920 --> 0:25:45.040 to life. But it all started when a young lady 0:25:45.160 --> 0:25:49.600 named Martha dared to believe for the extraordinary. Now an 0:25:49.720 --> 0:25:54.359 uncommon faith says, even though my situation looks dead, even 0:25:54.359 --> 0:25:57.320 though it looks like I'll never accomplish my dreams, looks 0:25:57.359 --> 0:26:01.439 like I'll never be vindicated. When you have this radical faith, 0:26:01.720 --> 0:26:04.160 you know it's not over till God. 0:26:03.960 --> 0:26:04.680 Says it's over. 0:26:05.400 --> 0:26:08.480 Just like God raised Lazarus from the dead. God can 0:26:08.520 --> 0:26:12.160 resurrect your dead dreams. He can resurrect a dead marriage, 0:26:12.520 --> 0:26:14.440 dead health, dead finances. 0:26:14.880 --> 0:26:16.879 May have gotten so bad you feel. 0:26:16.640 --> 0:26:20.760 Like it stinks, smells bad, no way in the natural. 0:26:21.320 --> 0:26:24.280 Good news is God has a way even when it 0:26:24.320 --> 0:26:27.000 looks like there is no way, And when you're down 0:26:27.040 --> 0:26:30.240 to nothing, if you'll stay in faith, then God is 0:26:30.359 --> 0:26:31.160 up to something. 0:26:31.560 --> 0:26:34.840 When you believe all things are possible. 0:26:34.840 --> 0:26:38.120 You have got to shake off discouragement, shake off going 0:26:38.160 --> 0:26:41.959 around negative and defeated. God is still on the throne. 0:26:42.560 --> 0:26:45.280 Let me just declare it over you. What you thought 0:26:45.480 --> 0:26:47.639 was the end is going to turn out to be 0:26:47.680 --> 0:26:48.360 a new beginning. 0:26:49.080 --> 0:26:52.160 That job you lost, you thought it was over, but. 0:26:52.160 --> 0:26:54.920 God's going to open up a new position, a better position. 0:26:55.640 --> 0:26:59.080 People may have lied about you, tried to ruin your reputation, 0:26:59.520 --> 0:27:02.520 but God is going to vindicate you. God is going 0:27:02.560 --> 0:27:05.440 to make your wrongs right. The economy may be down, 0:27:05.760 --> 0:27:09.080 but God is going to supernaturally increase you. He's going 0:27:09.119 --> 0:27:12.400 to draw new clients to you. You may have had 0:27:12.640 --> 0:27:16.560 unfair situations growing up. All the odds may be against 0:27:16.640 --> 0:27:20.280 you right now, but know this, no person can keep 0:27:20.320 --> 0:27:23.919 you from your destiny. No obstacle is too high, no 0:27:24.200 --> 0:27:27.479 enemy is too powerful. And what's happened in your past 0:27:27.800 --> 0:27:30.320 is not nearly as important as what's going to happen 0:27:30.359 --> 0:27:35.040 in your future. Right now, the creator of the universe, 0:27:35.720 --> 0:27:38.000 his face is shining down on you. 0:27:38.800 --> 0:27:41.080 He is going to open up doors that no man 0:27:41.160 --> 0:27:43.280 can shut. He is going to bring. 0:27:43.080 --> 0:27:46.040 The right people across your path, the right breaks, the 0:27:46.119 --> 0:27:49.840 right opportunities. Not only that, God is going to restore 0:27:50.080 --> 0:27:53.160 the years that have been stolen, the years where people 0:27:53.200 --> 0:27:55.680 have treated you wrong. It may look like it'll never 0:27:55.760 --> 0:27:58.520 work out, but God is going to get you to 0:27:58.600 --> 0:28:02.160 your final destination. You are going to become everything He's 0:28:02.240 --> 0:28:05.359 created you to be. My challenge to you is to 0:28:05.400 --> 0:28:06.760 have an uncommon faith. 0:28:07.119 --> 0:28:10.480 Believe big, dream big, dare to ask big. 0:28:10.880 --> 0:28:13.879 You may have been through disappointments, you had some setbacks. 0:28:13.880 --> 0:28:17.679 We all have, but remember every setback is simply a 0:28:17.760 --> 0:28:19.720 setup for a greater comeback. 0:28:20.400 --> 0:28:22.200 Don't you dare? Settle where you are. 0:28:23.920 --> 0:28:26.960 God wants you to set a new standard for your family. 0:28:27.280 --> 0:28:30.560 You can overcome every obstacle. You can accomplish every God 0:28:30.640 --> 0:28:34.159 given dream. The creator of the universe is breathing in 0:28:34.200 --> 0:28:37.439 your direction. And if you will have this uncommon faith, 0:28:37.880 --> 0:28:41.520 a radical faith, and even now faith, then just like 0:28:41.560 --> 0:28:44.200 with Joshua, God will do the extraordinary. 0:28:44.640 --> 0:28:46.680 Just like with my Father, God will. 0:28:46.480 --> 0:28:49.440 Take it from the cotton fields to impact in the world. 0:28:49.880 --> 0:28:52.640 Just like Jamie and the Black Cow. God will give 0:28:52.640 --> 0:28:55.600 you favor that no person can deny. And just like 0:28:55.680 --> 0:29:00.600 with Martha, God will turn impossibilities around. He will resurrect deaths, 0:29:00.880 --> 0:29:03.040 and when it's all said and done, you'll be able 0:29:03.040 --> 0:29:05.400 to say God has been good to me. He has 0:29:05.440 --> 0:29:08.840 shown up and shown out in my life in amazing ways. 0:29:08.880 --> 0:29:10.320 Amen, do you receive it today? 0:29:11.800 --> 0:29:14.680 We never like to close our broadcast without giving you 0:29:14.720 --> 0:29:17.640 an opportunity to make Jesus the lord of your life. 0:29:17.800 --> 0:29:18.760 Would you pray with me? 0:29:19.400 --> 0:29:24.080 Just say, Lord, Jesus, I repent of my sins. 0:29:24.640 --> 0:29:28.520 Come into my heart.
