I like to start with something funny, 0:02:31.040 --> 0:02:33.400 and I should mention this was sent to me by 0:02:33.440 --> 0:02:37.480 a woman. But according to the Alaska Department of Fish 0:02:37.600 --> 0:02:42.440 and Game, while both male and female reindeer grow antlers 0:02:42.480 --> 0:02:46.360 in the summer, male reindeer lose their antlers at the 0:02:46.400 --> 0:02:50.799 start of winter in early November. Female reindeer keep their 0:02:50.840 --> 0:02:54.680 antlers all the way till spring. This means all of 0:02:54.800 --> 0:02:59.360 Santa's reindeer, from Rudolph to Blitzen had to be female. 0:03:00.120 --> 0:03:03.040 She goes on to say, we should have known only 0:03:03.080 --> 0:03:07.040 a woman could drag around a fat man wearing a 0:03:07.080 --> 0:03:10.240 red velvet suit all over the world in one night 0:03:10.440 --> 0:03:15.480 and not get lost. Ladies, you're cheering a little too much, 0:03:15.520 --> 0:03:18.840 But here we go. This is my Bible. I am 0:03:18.919 --> 0:03:21.560 what it says. I am I have what it says 0:03:21.560 --> 0:03:24.280 I have. I can do what it says I can do. 0:03:24.720 --> 0:03:27.800 Today I will be taught the word of God. I 0:03:27.960 --> 0:03:32.320 boldly confess. My mind is alert, my heart is receptive. 0:03:32.720 --> 0:03:36.400 I will never be the same. In Jesus' name, God 0:03:36.440 --> 0:03:39.960 bless you. I want to talk to you today about 0:03:40.320 --> 0:03:44.040 it's going to happen quickly. We all have things that 0:03:44.040 --> 0:03:49.360 we're believing for, and we've been patiently waiting, thanking God, praying, 0:03:49.800 --> 0:03:53.440 but we don't see anything improving. It's easy to get 0:03:53.480 --> 0:03:56.400 discouraged and accept that it's going to be this way 0:03:56.440 --> 0:04:00.120 a long time. We just have to endure it. God 0:04:00.280 --> 0:04:04.160 said in Isaiah sixty, I am the Lord. When the 0:04:04.240 --> 0:04:09.000 time comes, I will do it quickly. God has ordained 0:04:09.080 --> 0:04:12.200 certain moments in your life where He's going to do 0:04:12.320 --> 0:04:15.960 a quick work. It's going to happen much faster than 0:04:16.000 --> 0:04:20.279 you thought. You may not see anything changing. It doesn't 0:04:20.320 --> 0:04:22.880 look like you're any closer to what you were believing 0:04:22.920 --> 0:04:26.159 for than you were last year. But when you come 0:04:26.200 --> 0:04:29.480 into your time, God is going to do it quickly. 0:04:30.240 --> 0:04:33.080 It's not going to be a long drawn out process. 0:04:33.440 --> 0:04:37.560 You're going to see a rapid turnaround, a sudden breakthrough 0:04:37.880 --> 0:04:41.680 a speedy recovery. It may look like it's going to 0:04:41.720 --> 0:04:44.800 take a long time for you to get well, to 0:04:44.880 --> 0:04:48.680 break the addiction, to meet the right person, they'll get ready. 0:04:48.960 --> 0:04:52.120 It's going to happen sooner than it looks. It's going 0:04:52.160 --> 0:04:55.560 to be unusual, out of the ordinary. You're going to 0:04:55.640 --> 0:04:59.000 know it was the hand of God. It should take 0:04:59.080 --> 0:05:02.400 you years to get out of debt, years to accomplish 0:05:02.400 --> 0:05:06.359 your dream in the natural, that's true. But when you 0:05:06.480 --> 0:05:09.479 come into one of these destiny moments, it's going to 0:05:09.560 --> 0:05:13.440 happen in a fraction of the time. Every thought may 0:05:13.520 --> 0:05:17.039 tell you it's permanent, it's never going to change. Now 0:05:17.160 --> 0:05:20.000 God is saying to you today, I'm going to do 0:05:20.040 --> 0:05:23.680 it quickly. It's going to happen suddenly. Now get in 0:05:23.760 --> 0:05:27.120 agreement with God instead of thinking of all the reasons 0:05:27.160 --> 0:05:30.400 it's not going to work out. Turn it around. Father, 0:05:30.560 --> 0:05:33.440 Thank you for a quick work. Thank you for a 0:05:33.480 --> 0:05:37.840 sudden turnaround. Thank you for a speedy recovery. When God 0:05:37.880 --> 0:05:41.400 brought the Israelites out of slavery, they headed toward the 0:05:41.480 --> 0:05:45.360 promised land. Na Pharaoh, who had just let them go, 0:05:46.000 --> 0:05:49.920 changed his mind and decided he wanted them back so 0:05:50.040 --> 0:05:53.760 he sent six hundred of his fastest chariots, some of 0:05:53.760 --> 0:05:58.760 his strongest warriors, to try to recapture them. The Israelites, 0:05:59.000 --> 0:06:01.800 these two million pears people, were at a dead end 0:06:02.040 --> 0:06:05.600 at the Red Sea. They had nowhere to go. It 0:06:05.640 --> 0:06:09.320 looked like they would be recaptured. But Moses held up 0:06:09.320 --> 0:06:13.640 his rod, and those waters parted. The Israelites walked through 0:06:13.760 --> 0:06:17.880 on dry ground. When Pharaoh's men came chasing, the waters 0:06:17.920 --> 0:06:22.279 closed up. They were all drowned. Psalm one, p. Fourteen 0:06:22.440 --> 0:06:27.080 gives us insight into what happened. Verse three says, the 0:06:27.120 --> 0:06:31.440 Red Sea saw the Israelites coming and hurried out of 0:06:31.480 --> 0:06:35.160 their way. When you come into your time, don't worry. 0:06:35.640 --> 0:06:39.440 Enemies are going to hurry out of your way. That addiction, 0:06:39.880 --> 0:06:43.960 the depression, the anxiety, it's not permanent. It's about to 0:06:44.080 --> 0:06:47.240 hurry out of your way. It's going to happen quickly. 0:06:47.920 --> 0:06:51.440 You didn't see any sign of things changing. Nothing looked 0:06:51.480 --> 0:06:56.400 any different. Then suddenly the water's part, Suddenly your health 0:06:56.440 --> 0:07:00.960 turns around, Suddenly the door opens. God knows how to 0:07:01.040 --> 0:07:05.560 take things that look permanent and quickly change them. When 0:07:05.600 --> 0:07:08.200 God told Moses to hold up the rod and the 0:07:08.240 --> 0:07:11.720 waters would part. I can imagine he was tempted to 0:07:11.840 --> 0:07:15.320 reason it out, God, what do you mean These waters 0:07:15.360 --> 0:07:18.600 have been like this for years. You would think if 0:07:18.600 --> 0:07:22.160 the Israelites were going to somehow get across, it would 0:07:22.200 --> 0:07:26.800 take months for the waters to receive become less and less. 0:07:27.160 --> 0:07:30.559 Maybe God would send a big drought. But when God 0:07:30.640 --> 0:07:35.040 spoke to Moses, nothing looked any different. Everything in his 0:07:35.200 --> 0:07:39.160 mind said, it's impossible it would take months or years 0:07:39.200 --> 0:07:42.120 of a drought. God, we only have a few hours 0:07:42.200 --> 0:07:46.240 before we're going to be recaptured. But God doesn't always 0:07:46.320 --> 0:07:51.080 do things on a normal timetable. He specializes in doing 0:07:51.120 --> 0:07:54.840 a quick work. He knows how to speed things up 0:07:55.360 --> 0:07:59.600 what could have taken years. In one moment, God calls 0:07:59.640 --> 0:08:03.280 the wind to blow the waters back. They hurried out 0:08:03.280 --> 0:08:07.040 of the Israelites way. Now, you may have obstacles in 0:08:07.080 --> 0:08:10.680 your life that look permanent, but God is about to 0:08:10.760 --> 0:08:14.200 have them hurry out of your way. It's not going 0:08:14.280 --> 0:08:19.080 to happen gradually on a normal schedule like you were expecting. 0:08:19.440 --> 0:08:23.960 It's going to happen quickly out of the ordinary. Things 0:08:24.000 --> 0:08:28.560 that you've been struggling with, fear, anxiety, a challenge in 0:08:28.600 --> 0:08:32.120 your health, that child that's off course. When you look 0:08:32.160 --> 0:08:36.080 at the waters, nothing looks any different. You know, God 0:08:36.160 --> 0:08:39.040 is telling you a breakthrough is coming, but you don't 0:08:39.040 --> 0:08:42.160 see any sign of it. You want to believe, but 0:08:42.200 --> 0:08:45.480 your mind is telling you there's no way. But just 0:08:45.679 --> 0:08:49.520 like those waters hurried out of the Israelites way, those 0:08:49.600 --> 0:08:53.480 obstacles are about to hurry out of your way. Now. 0:08:53.480 --> 0:08:56.520 You may have had that illness a long time. The 0:08:56.600 --> 0:09:01.120 prognosis doesn't look good. Receive this into your spirit. It's 0:09:01.160 --> 0:09:04.920 about to hurry out of your way. That legal trouble 0:09:05.120 --> 0:09:10.040 looks permanent. Had financial difficulty, that situation at work seems 0:09:10.080 --> 0:09:13.400 like there's no end in sight. They'll get ready. God's 0:09:13.440 --> 0:09:17.280 about to do a quick work. Lack struggle, debt is 0:09:17.320 --> 0:09:20.040 about to hurry out of your way. It's going to 0:09:20.080 --> 0:09:24.800 happen suddenly. It's going to be a rapid turnaround. That's 0:09:24.840 --> 0:09:28.120 what happened for us here at Lakewood. When we acquired 0:09:28.120 --> 0:09:31.960 the Compact Center, a company filed a lawsuit to try 0:09:32.000 --> 0:09:35.120 to keep us from moving in. They said we violated 0:09:35.200 --> 0:09:39.120 the deed restrictions. Our attorneys told us it could be 0:09:39.200 --> 0:09:42.400 tied up in the courts for years. When we looked 0:09:42.400 --> 0:09:46.199 at the waters light with Moses. Nothing looked any different. 0:09:46.880 --> 0:09:50.200 A year had gone by, the other side wasn't about 0:09:50.240 --> 0:09:53.680 to budge. They had no contact with us. Looked like 0:09:53.760 --> 0:09:56.720 it could be that way for another ten years. But 0:09:56.840 --> 0:10:00.359 one day out of the blue, the other side called 0:10:00.440 --> 0:10:03.760 and said they wanted to meet. Our attorneys said it 0:10:03.840 --> 0:10:07.520 was probably a ploy, just trying to distract us. We 0:10:07.600 --> 0:10:10.600 met with them, and in a couple of hours they 0:10:10.640 --> 0:10:13.320 agreed to drop the lawsuit and let us have the 0:10:13.360 --> 0:10:17.360 building when it's your time. God knows how to have 0:10:17.559 --> 0:10:21.520 enemies hurry out of your way. Would have been one thing. 0:10:21.800 --> 0:10:25.080 If we'd have won the lawsuit after ten years, we 0:10:25.120 --> 0:10:28.400 would have been grateful. But God is not going to 0:10:28.480 --> 0:10:33.040 let the opposition delay you from your destiny. He has 0:10:33.120 --> 0:10:37.800 already scheduled your destiny. Moments, it may feel like you're 0:10:37.880 --> 0:10:42.880 falling behind. The opposition is holding you back. Stay encouraged 0:10:43.200 --> 0:10:46.680 at the right time. That adversity is going to hurry 0:10:46.720 --> 0:10:50.720 out of your way. Red seas can't keep you from 0:10:50.760 --> 0:10:56.040 your purpose. God knows how to part those waters. Legal situations, 0:10:56.440 --> 0:11:00.800 companies that seem bigger, stronger, they can't stop God's plan 0:11:00.920 --> 0:11:04.440 for your life. It may feel like you're stuck. You 0:11:04.480 --> 0:11:08.480 don't see anything improving. Don't worry. God knows how to 0:11:08.520 --> 0:11:13.280 do a quick work. It can happen suddenly. The scripture says, 0:11:13.600 --> 0:11:17.640 God hastens his word to perform it. That word hasten 0:11:17.760 --> 0:11:22.440 means quickly, speedily, in a hurry. And I'm not saying 0:11:22.480 --> 0:11:25.199 that we don't have to wait. There are things that 0:11:25.280 --> 0:11:28.600 take time. What I'm saying is, when you don't see 0:11:28.640 --> 0:11:32.160 anything happening, it looks like what you're up against is 0:11:32.240 --> 0:11:35.200 never going to change. When you come in to your 0:11:35.280 --> 0:11:40.000 destiny moment, God will do it speedily, quicker than you thought. 0:11:40.679 --> 0:11:43.800 You'll accomplish a dream in a fraction of the time. 0:11:44.520 --> 0:11:49.240 That obstacle looks permanent. Suddenly it turns around. That's God 0:11:49.559 --> 0:11:54.760 hastening his word. Tewod Kings, Chapter seven. The Israelites were 0:11:54.800 --> 0:11:59.120 surrounded by the Syrian army. They had cut off the Israelites' 0:11:59.280 --> 0:12:03.320 food supply. Now the people were starving, just a matter 0:12:03.400 --> 0:12:08.119 of time before they died. Every circumstance said it was permanent. 0:12:08.600 --> 0:12:13.040 The enemy army was bigger, they had more equipment. All 0:12:13.120 --> 0:12:16.920 the odds were against the Israelites. But there were four 0:12:17.040 --> 0:12:21.680 lepers sitting outside the city gates. They thought, we have 0:12:21.840 --> 0:12:25.439 nothing to lose. We're going to die anyway. Let's go 0:12:25.480 --> 0:12:28.360 down to the Syrian camp and see what they're doing. 0:12:29.280 --> 0:12:33.120 While they were walking toward the enemy, the scripture says, 0:12:33.480 --> 0:12:38.360 God calls the Syrians to hear the sound of speeding 0:12:38.480 --> 0:12:44.920 chariots and galloping horses, the footsteps of a vast army approaching. 0:12:45.679 --> 0:12:50.319 The Syrian kings thought the Israelites had hired several armies 0:12:50.400 --> 0:12:55.480 to attack them. Verse seven says the Syrians panicked and 0:12:55.559 --> 0:13:00.960 fled into the night, leaving all their horses, tents, and belongings. 0:13:01.760 --> 0:13:05.520 What was that God causing their enemies to hurry out 0:13:05.559 --> 0:13:10.960 of their way seemed impossible. The Israelites didn't have a chance. 0:13:11.320 --> 0:13:17.400 They didn't have food, equipment, supplies, strength, experience. But God 0:13:17.559 --> 0:13:21.320 is not limited by what you don't have. He's not 0:13:21.520 --> 0:13:25.800 intimidated by how big the opposition is, by how bad 0:13:25.840 --> 0:13:29.800 the medical report looks, by what the financial statement says. 0:13:30.640 --> 0:13:35.080 God multiplied the sound of these leopers footsteps and caused 0:13:35.080 --> 0:13:39.440 this huge army to flee for their lives. They left 0:13:39.480 --> 0:13:42.679 in such a hurry they didn't even take their belongings. 0:13:43.000 --> 0:13:47.120 They didn't even grab their tents. God knows how to 0:13:47.240 --> 0:13:51.800 quickly get rid of the opposition. Don't be discouraged by 0:13:51.840 --> 0:13:55.760 how permanent the obstacle looks, or by how much bigger 0:13:55.840 --> 0:13:59.839 it seems than you. You have an advantage the most time. 0:14:00.120 --> 0:14:03.840 God is on your side. He knows how to cause 0:14:03.880 --> 0:14:08.079 your enemies to hurry out of your way. Now, gradually, 0:14:08.800 --> 0:14:11.920 not over a few months. You're about to see some 0:14:12.000 --> 0:14:18.800 things quickly turn around. Problems suddenly resolved, enemies rapidly defeated. 0:14:19.560 --> 0:14:23.880 What's interesting is while the Lepers were walking, they didn't 0:14:23.960 --> 0:14:27.200 know what God was doing. They couldn't hear what the 0:14:27.400 --> 0:14:31.720 enemy was hearing. Everything seemed normal to them, but God 0:14:31.880 --> 0:14:36.120 was doing something supernatural. You don't know what God is 0:14:36.200 --> 0:14:39.960 up to right now. While you're believing, while you're doing 0:14:40.000 --> 0:14:44.080 the right thing, everything may seem just the same. But 0:14:44.160 --> 0:14:47.320 God is talking to your enemies. He's causing them to 0:14:47.400 --> 0:14:51.240 hear what he wants them to hear. The Syrians didn't 0:14:51.280 --> 0:14:54.440 say to the Lepers, Okay, we'll leave. Just give us 0:14:54.480 --> 0:14:57.720 a few months to pack up our belongings, give us 0:14:57.720 --> 0:15:00.680 some time to relocate. We need to find new property. 0:15:01.200 --> 0:15:05.200 They left suddenly in a panic. They were so afraid 0:15:05.440 --> 0:15:09.680 they fled for their lives. Some of the obstacles you're 0:15:09.760 --> 0:15:12.840 up against may seem like they have the upper hand. 0:15:13.280 --> 0:15:16.600 The sickness is bigger. You've had the addiction a long time. 0:15:16.960 --> 0:15:20.720 It feels like that trouble has you surrounded. But when 0:15:20.760 --> 0:15:24.360 it's your time, like with them, it's not going to 0:15:24.480 --> 0:15:28.280 leave gradually. It's not going to improve a little here, 0:15:28.440 --> 0:15:31.800 a little there. It's going to leave suddenly like it's 0:15:31.840 --> 0:15:36.000 in a panic, like it's fleeing for its life. Well, Joel, 0:15:36.040 --> 0:15:40.040 this sounds encouraging, but I don't believe it's going to 0:15:40.080 --> 0:15:43.200 happen quickly for me. I've been dealing with this for 0:15:43.240 --> 0:15:46.920 a long time. You're right, it won't happen for you. 0:15:47.240 --> 0:15:48.560 This is for believers. 0:15:48.960 --> 0:15:51.560 This is for people that will let the seed take root, 0:15:53.000 --> 0:15:57.480 people that will dare say God, I agree with what 0:15:57.560 --> 0:16:00.160 you said that you will hasten. 0:15:59.800 --> 0:16:03.280 Your word to perform it. Lord. I believe for a 0:16:03.360 --> 0:16:07.160 quick work. I believe enemies are hurrying out of my way. 0:16:07.720 --> 0:16:11.480 I believe I'm going to see a rapid turnaround. Friend 0:16:11.480 --> 0:16:14.840 of mine worked for this company where his supervisor wasn't 0:16:14.880 --> 0:16:18.320 treating him right. He was jealous of him. My friend 0:16:18.440 --> 0:16:21.960 had a great attitude. I never heard him complain. He 0:16:22.120 --> 0:16:25.600 just kept doing the right thing, even though this supervisor 0:16:25.760 --> 0:16:28.720 would try to discredit him and make him look bad. 0:16:29.320 --> 0:16:33.000 This went on for several years. The supervisor was in 0:16:33.040 --> 0:16:36.680 his early forties, been with the company almost twenty years. 0:16:37.040 --> 0:16:39.920 Looked like my friend would always have to deal with this. 0:16:40.680 --> 0:16:43.840 But one Monday morning he went to work. The owner 0:16:43.920 --> 0:16:47.160 of the company called my friend in and said that 0:16:47.200 --> 0:16:51.200 the supervisor was leaving and this owner wanted him to 0:16:51.280 --> 0:16:54.520 have his position. My friend asked, when was this going 0:16:54.560 --> 0:16:57.280 to happen? When was going to leave? The owner said, 0:16:57.360 --> 0:17:01.480 he left last Friday. You're the supervis starting right now. 0:17:02.600 --> 0:17:06.239 God knows how to cause people to hurry out of 0:17:06.280 --> 0:17:09.960 your way, to do things quickly, things that you didn't 0:17:10.040 --> 0:17:14.280 see coming. That supervisor could have been there another thirty years, 0:17:14.640 --> 0:17:18.440 but he suddenly left. Quit worrying about who's in front 0:17:18.480 --> 0:17:20.800 of you and how it's never going to work out. 0:17:21.240 --> 0:17:27.240 God can quickly change things, quickly, promote you, quickly, heal you, quickly, 0:17:27.320 --> 0:17:30.680 free you. And yes, I know some things take time. 0:17:31.200 --> 0:17:34.640 We have to outlast what's coming against us. But you're 0:17:34.680 --> 0:17:37.919 going to come into these moments where God does a 0:17:38.000 --> 0:17:42.080 quick work now instead of complaining Joel, I don't know 0:17:42.160 --> 0:17:45.040 about for me. I don't think I'll ever get well. 0:17:45.280 --> 0:17:48.720 I'll never meet the right person. Don't turn it around. Father, 0:17:48.880 --> 0:17:52.320 Thank you that my health is about to suddenly improve. 0:17:52.960 --> 0:17:56.040 Thank you that this addiction is not permanent. It's about 0:17:56.080 --> 0:17:59.520 to quickly turn around. Thank you that this depression is 0:17:59.560 --> 0:18:02.680 not how my story ends. It's about to hurry out 0:18:02.680 --> 0:18:07.760 of my way. That's not just being positive, that's releasing 0:18:07.880 --> 0:18:11.400 your faith. That's what allows God to speed things up. 0:18:12.200 --> 0:18:15.639 This is what Joseph did in the scripture. He was 0:18:15.720 --> 0:18:21.399 mistreated for thirteen years, betrayed by his brothers, sold into slavery, 0:18:21.840 --> 0:18:25.040 put in prison for something that he didn't do. It 0:18:25.080 --> 0:18:28.760 wasn't easy, but he kept a good attitude, kept being 0:18:28.840 --> 0:18:32.480 his best, and one morning Joseph was sitting in prison 0:18:33.000 --> 0:18:37.440 seemed like another ordinary day when the guard came and said, Joseph, 0:18:37.720 --> 0:18:42.040 the Pharaoh wants to see you. I can imagine Joseph's thinking, 0:18:42.359 --> 0:18:46.480 the Pharaoh, I don't know him, I don't have an appointment. 0:18:47.160 --> 0:18:51.000 I'm a slave, a foreigner, I'm in prison, and the 0:18:51.040 --> 0:18:55.119 Pharaoh's calling for me. God knows how to have the 0:18:55.240 --> 0:18:58.800 right people come looking for you. You may feel like 0:18:58.880 --> 0:19:02.960 you're at a disadvantage, you're being overlooked. Know the one 0:19:03.000 --> 0:19:06.440 who matters most has his eyes on you, the one 0:19:06.480 --> 0:19:10.800 who controls the universe, the most high God is watching 0:19:10.920 --> 0:19:15.919 after you. He's working out his plan for your life. 0:19:16.040 --> 0:19:19.479 Joseph walked in and was standing in the presence of 0:19:19.480 --> 0:19:22.919 one of the most powerful people of that day. He 0:19:23.000 --> 0:19:27.600 interpreted that Proh's dream. He was so impressed he made 0:19:27.680 --> 0:19:32.560 Joseph the Prime Minister of Egypt, second in command. It 0:19:32.720 --> 0:19:37.359 happened quickly. Joseph didn't have to run for office. The 0:19:37.440 --> 0:19:41.119 Pharaoh didn't hold a vote, he didn't interview candidates for 0:19:41.200 --> 0:19:44.520 six months. Right on the spot, he made Joseph the 0:19:44.600 --> 0:19:48.760 prime minister. God knows how to do a quick work. 0:19:49.480 --> 0:19:54.439 The trouble, the injustice, it hurried out of Joseph's way. 0:19:54.520 --> 0:19:58.000 He woke up that morning a slave in prison. He 0:19:58.080 --> 0:20:02.480 went to bed that night the prime minister promoted, vindicated. 0:20:04.840 --> 0:20:10.040 Don't be discouraged by what's not changing. Like Joseph, you 0:20:10.160 --> 0:20:12.720 may be doing the right thing and the wrong thing 0:20:12.840 --> 0:20:17.639 is happening. Your time is coming. God has these destiny 0:20:17.760 --> 0:20:21.560 moments where he's going to suddenly catapult you to a 0:20:21.600 --> 0:20:24.600 new level. It's not going to be a long process. 0:20:24.840 --> 0:20:29.920 It's going to happen quickly, unexpectedly. The right people are 0:20:29.960 --> 0:20:33.680 going to come looking for you. The promotion, the opportunity, 0:20:33.880 --> 0:20:38.119 the vindication is going to come tracking you down. After 0:20:38.119 --> 0:20:41.800 the Israelites came through the Red Sea, they wandered in 0:20:41.880 --> 0:20:45.840 the desert for forty years. They thought their obstacles were 0:20:45.880 --> 0:20:49.080 too big and their enemies too strong, and that kept 0:20:49.119 --> 0:20:53.000 them from going into the promised land. Now years later, 0:20:53.440 --> 0:20:57.760 their children and grandchildren were about to cross the Jordan 0:20:57.880 --> 0:21:01.399 River and go into the land that God promised. The 0:21:01.480 --> 0:21:06.200 problem was the land was occupied with these incredibly strong, 0:21:06.560 --> 0:21:11.200 powerful people called the Anakites. They were descendants of giants. 0:21:11.880 --> 0:21:15.680 You can imagine how it intimidated. The Israelites must have 0:21:15.800 --> 0:21:19.960 felt standing at the brink of the Jordan, no doubt, 0:21:19.960 --> 0:21:23.560 contemplating whether or not they should go in. God gave 0:21:23.640 --> 0:21:27.280 them a promise that helped push them over. He said 0:21:27.320 --> 0:21:31.920 in Deuteronomy nine, today you were about to see people 0:21:32.359 --> 0:21:36.480 that are much stronger and much more powerful. But the Lord, 0:21:36.560 --> 0:21:39.919 your God will cross over ahead of you like a 0:21:40.000 --> 0:21:43.920 devouring fire. He will subdue them so that you can 0:21:44.280 --> 0:21:49.560 quickly conquer. Unlike their parents that talked themselves out of it, 0:21:49.760 --> 0:21:53.760 this new generation had the boldness to go in just 0:21:53.920 --> 0:21:58.480 like God promised. They quickly conquered the land. Now you 0:21:58.600 --> 0:22:02.560 may be facing a situation like them that seems impossible 0:22:03.040 --> 0:22:07.359 in your health, your finances, a relationship. But God is 0:22:07.400 --> 0:22:10.600 saying to you what he said to them. I'm going 0:22:10.640 --> 0:22:13.879 to cross over ahead of you and take care of 0:22:13.920 --> 0:22:18.399 those enemies so you can quickly conquer them. You are 0:22:18.440 --> 0:22:22.080 not fighting those battles on your own. The most High 0:22:22.160 --> 0:22:25.320 God is going before you. You're going to come out 0:22:25.320 --> 0:22:29.280 of that difficulty quicker than you think. Now, get this 0:22:29.440 --> 0:22:33.560 down in your spirit. You're going to quickly conquer the sickness, 0:22:33.920 --> 0:22:38.160 quickly conquer the addiction, quickly conquer the trouble at work 0:22:39.080 --> 0:22:42.719 behind the scenes. Right now, God is changing things in 0:22:42.800 --> 0:22:46.480 your favor. He's crossing over ahead of you to take 0:22:46.520 --> 0:22:49.240 care of the sickness, to take care of that trouble. 0:22:49.960 --> 0:22:52.879 If you will stay in faith, it's going to happen 0:22:53.080 --> 0:22:57.119 sooner than it looks. You didn't see any sign of it, 0:22:57.160 --> 0:23:01.359 looked like it was permanent, then suddenly it changes. God 0:23:01.480 --> 0:23:04.439 is going to hasten his word he's going to speed 0:23:04.520 --> 0:23:07.760 things up. I talked to a man that had a 0:23:07.840 --> 0:23:12.160 stroke in his early fifties. He attends Lakewood and his 0:23:12.200 --> 0:23:15.359 family brought him up for prayer after a service. He 0:23:15.480 --> 0:23:18.720 was now in a wheelchair. He had lost control over 0:23:18.760 --> 0:23:21.760 the left side of his body and his face was drawn. 0:23:22.440 --> 0:23:26.320 He was told with therapy, in three to five years 0:23:26.600 --> 0:23:30.600 he might regain some control of his left arm and leg, 0:23:31.200 --> 0:23:34.760 but he was specifically told he would never be able 0:23:34.800 --> 0:23:38.640 to lift his arm above his head again. I told 0:23:38.720 --> 0:23:41.920 him what I'm telling you, that God can do things quickly. 0:23:42.480 --> 0:23:45.520 In the natural, it should take years. But God is 0:23:45.560 --> 0:23:49.120 a supernatural god. He knows how to speed things up. 0:23:49.920 --> 0:23:52.720 I could tell this man was a fighter. He wasn't 0:23:52.760 --> 0:23:55.880 about to take that stroke lying down. I saw him 0:23:55.960 --> 0:23:59.400 six months later. This time he wasn't in a wheelchair, 0:23:59.880 --> 0:24:03.600 was walking on his own through the lobby. He had 0:24:03.600 --> 0:24:07.200 a big smile on his face when our eyes met. 0:24:07.440 --> 0:24:09.840 The first thing he did was lift his arm way 0:24:09.920 --> 0:24:12.879 up in the air. I said, I thought that was 0:24:12.920 --> 0:24:15.800 going to take three to five years. He said, that's 0:24:15.840 --> 0:24:18.520 what I was told, But it happened for me in 0:24:18.600 --> 0:24:22.879 three months. His therapist said that in thirty years she 0:24:22.920 --> 0:24:26.760 had been helping people. She had never seen anyone improve 0:24:27.000 --> 0:24:30.520 as fast as him. God knows how to do a 0:24:30.600 --> 0:24:34.440 quick work. Quit believing those lies that it's going to 0:24:34.480 --> 0:24:37.639 take you a long time to recover. You heard the experts, 0:24:38.040 --> 0:24:41.200 A long time to accomplish your dream, a long time 0:24:41.240 --> 0:24:44.840 to get free from that anxiety. No, God is crossing 0:24:44.920 --> 0:24:48.600 ahead of you right now, so you can quickly conquer. 0:24:49.119 --> 0:24:52.320 You're going to see a rapid recovery. You're going to 0:24:52.359 --> 0:24:57.679 defy the odds. God is going to accelerate things, dreams 0:24:57.960 --> 0:25:01.840 coming to pass in record time, things falling into place. 0:25:02.440 --> 0:25:06.720 That depression is not permanent, That addiction is not going 0:25:06.760 --> 0:25:10.320 to last. It's about to hurry out of your way. 0:25:10.400 --> 0:25:14.440 It's going to happen quickly. You didn't see it coming. Now. 0:25:14.440 --> 0:25:16.960 When thoughts tell you it's going to take you years 0:25:17.000 --> 0:25:20.119 to get well, years to meet the right person, No, 0:25:20.320 --> 0:25:24.760 keep this phrase down in your spirit. Quickly conquer. You 0:25:24.840 --> 0:25:28.720 have to answer the doubt back with faith. Don't let 0:25:28.760 --> 0:25:33.000 that thought continue to play. Is permanent, It's never going 0:25:33.040 --> 0:25:36.240 to work out. Know all through the day, Father, thank 0:25:36.320 --> 0:25:39.480 you that it's going to happen quickly. Thank you that 0:25:39.680 --> 0:25:42.359 enemies are hurrying out of my way. Thank you that 0:25:42.400 --> 0:25:45.520 I'm going to see a rapid recovery. Well, Joe, what 0:25:45.600 --> 0:25:48.200 if I do that for a month and nothing happens? 0:25:48.520 --> 0:25:52.240 Keep doing it? You have to stay on the offensive. 0:25:53.000 --> 0:25:55.960 If you live with that lie that is permanent, it's 0:25:56.040 --> 0:26:00.800 never going to change. That will limit your life. After eighteen, 0:26:01.200 --> 0:26:04.840 Jesus told a story about a judge that wasn't fair. 0:26:05.400 --> 0:26:09.240 He didn't have integrity, he didn't care for people. This 0:26:09.359 --> 0:26:13.320 widow kept coming to him day after day, trying to 0:26:13.320 --> 0:26:16.000 get him to do something about a person that had 0:26:16.040 --> 0:26:20.119 done her wrong. The judge ignored her, didn't pay her 0:26:20.160 --> 0:26:24.840 any attention, but the widow wouldn't quit coming. Finally, the 0:26:24.920 --> 0:26:27.560 judge said to the lady, I'm going to give you 0:26:27.640 --> 0:26:31.560 what you're asking for, not because I want to, but 0:26:31.640 --> 0:26:36.479 because you're wearing me out with your constant request. Jesus 0:26:36.520 --> 0:26:41.040 said to the disciples, if this judge, who is not fair, 0:26:41.720 --> 0:26:45.960 will make the right decision, because the lady wouldn't quit asking, 0:26:46.640 --> 0:26:50.480 do you think God, who is fair, will keep putting 0:26:50.520 --> 0:26:54.600 off those that come to him. Jesus went on to say, 0:26:54.880 --> 0:26:59.200 I can assure you God will grant them justice quickly. 0:27:00.400 --> 0:27:04.160 When you're in a difficult time. Things are not turning around. 0:27:04.720 --> 0:27:08.320 If you'll just keep thanking God that he's working, thanking 0:27:08.400 --> 0:27:11.879 him that he's fighting your battles, not begging him, but 0:27:12.080 --> 0:27:16.320 reminding him what he promised. Notice what God said. He 0:27:16.359 --> 0:27:20.680 will give you justice quickly. It's going to happen faster 0:27:21.119 --> 0:27:25.320 than you thought. One translation says he will rush to 0:27:25.440 --> 0:27:29.080 your defense. He will come to you in haste. It 0:27:29.119 --> 0:27:31.359 may not have happened yet, but you need to know 0:27:31.880 --> 0:27:34.640 God is in a hurry to help you. You're going 0:27:34.680 --> 0:27:38.440 to see some of these sudden turnarounds now. The key 0:27:39.000 --> 0:27:42.480 is to keep thanking him, keep talking like it's going 0:27:42.560 --> 0:27:46.040 to happen, keep believing that it's on the way. When 0:27:46.080 --> 0:27:49.080 you don't talk yourself out of it, you don't get discouraged, 0:27:49.280 --> 0:27:53.119 but you consistently thank God. You're going to see some 0:27:53.280 --> 0:27:56.560 of these quick works. He's going to quickly turn your 0:27:56.640 --> 0:28:01.040 child around, quickly, bring your healing quickly, cause that dream 0:28:01.280 --> 0:28:05.200 to come to past. Maybe like this widow, you've been 0:28:05.240 --> 0:28:09.320 doing this, but you don't see anything changing. Everything looks 0:28:09.359 --> 0:28:14.439 the same. Stay encouraged. Your time is coming. God is 0:28:14.520 --> 0:28:18.399 crossing over ahead of you right now. I believe and 0:28:18.520 --> 0:28:23.000 declare You're about to quickly conquer problems that have held 0:28:23.040 --> 0:28:26.760 you back, are about to suddenly resolve.

It's going to happen quickly in Jesus' name, 0:28:40.360 --> 0:28:42.760 And if you receive it, can you say amen? Today 0:28:44.800 --> 0:28:48.520 I'd like to give you the opportunity to make Jesus 0:28:48.640 --> 0:28:51.280 the lord of your life. Would you pray with me? 0:28:52.120 --> 0:28:57.680 Just say, Lord, Jesus, I repent of my sins. Come 0:28:57.680 --> 0:29:03.440 into my heart. Thank you, my Lord and Savior.
