But thanks for tuning in today. 0:02:29.919 --> 0:02:32.079 I like to start with something funny, and I heard 0:02:32.080 --> 0:02:35.480 about this man. He was driving through an intersection that 0:02:35.639 --> 0:02:38.359 was monitored by cameras. If you ran the light or 0:02:38.600 --> 0:02:41.200 broke the law in any way, you'd receive a ticket 0:02:41.280 --> 0:02:43.400 in the mail. So he made sure to go through 0:02:43.440 --> 0:02:46.639 it extra slowly, but he noticed the camera flash and 0:02:46.720 --> 0:02:49.800 took his picture. He thought, that's not right. He turned 0:02:49.840 --> 0:02:53.679 around and drove through it again, even more slowly. This time, 0:02:53.840 --> 0:02:56.560 the camera flashed and took his picture again. He thought, 0:02:56.600 --> 0:03:00.280 this thing is messed up. They cannot give me a ticket. Fight. 0:03:00.520 --> 0:03:03.360 He drove through it three more times, each time waving 0:03:03.440 --> 0:03:06.920 at the camera and smiling. A week later, he received 0:03:06.960 --> 0:03:09.600 five tickets in the mail for not wearing his seat belt. 0:03:12.360 --> 0:03:14.520 Say it like you mean it, and don't do that. Ready. 0:03:14.960 --> 0:03:17.400 This is my bible. I am what it says, I 0:03:17.520 --> 0:03:20.160 am I have what it says I have. I can 0:03:20.240 --> 0:03:22.919 do what it says I can do. Today I will 0:03:22.960 --> 0:03:26.359 be taught the word of God. I boldly confess. My 0:03:26.560 --> 0:03:29.919 mind is alert, my heart is receptive. I will never 0:03:30.080 --> 0:03:34.639 be the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you. I 0:03:34.720 --> 0:03:37.880 want to talk to you today about the power of agreement. 0:03:38.800 --> 0:03:41.240 We're all believing for a dream to come to pass, 0:03:41.400 --> 0:03:45.040 or praying for a situation to turn around. We're standing 0:03:45.120 --> 0:03:48.800 in faith, trusting that God is working. But something more 0:03:48.960 --> 0:03:53.360 powerful happens when you have someone agree with you for 0:03:53.480 --> 0:03:57.360 what you're believing for. Jesus said, if any two of 0:03:57.440 --> 0:04:01.800 you agree concerning whatever you ask, it shall be done 0:04:02.080 --> 0:04:05.720 by my Father in heaven. He didn't say, just believe 0:04:05.800 --> 0:04:09.160 for yourself, just stand in faith alone and it will happen. 0:04:09.680 --> 0:04:13.200 He said, find someone that will come into agreement with you. 0:04:14.040 --> 0:04:17.680 He was showing us the power of agreement. When you're 0:04:17.720 --> 0:04:21.000 believing to accomplish a dream, take your family to a 0:04:21.080 --> 0:04:24.560 new level. To overcome an illness, you need people with 0:04:24.800 --> 0:04:28.360 bold faith, not people that say, I don't see how 0:04:28.400 --> 0:04:31.360 it can happen. You really think you'll get well. My 0:04:31.480 --> 0:04:34.760 grandmother died of that same thing. Doubters are a dime 0:04:34.920 --> 0:04:38.160 a dozen. You need people to say, if you're bold 0:04:38.279 --> 0:04:41.120 enough to believe it, I'm bold enough to agree with you. 0:04:41.839 --> 0:04:44.680 You need a faith partner, someone that will take the 0:04:44.800 --> 0:04:47.800 limits off of God with you, that will believe for 0:04:47.920 --> 0:04:51.920 what looks impossible. And what's limiting some people is they 0:04:52.000 --> 0:04:55.640 have no agreement. They're believing on their own, and that's good. 0:04:56.120 --> 0:04:59.360 But when you come into agreement, it releases favor in 0:04:59.440 --> 0:05:03.720 a new way, healing, breakthroughs, abundance that you won't see 0:05:03.800 --> 0:05:08.440 by yourself. The scripture says all of God's promises are 0:05:08.600 --> 0:05:12.120 yes and amen. When God puts a promise in your 0:05:12.200 --> 0:05:14.920 heart and you believe it, you have the yes. You 0:05:15.040 --> 0:05:18.200 know it's going to happen. But the yes alone is 0:05:18.320 --> 0:05:22.359 not enough. You need to find the amen. Find someone 0:05:22.480 --> 0:05:26.599 to agree with you, someone that says, you believe God 0:05:26.720 --> 0:05:29.800 is restoring health back to you. You believe that by 0:05:29.920 --> 0:05:33.400 His stripes you are healed. You have the yes. Count 0:05:33.480 --> 0:05:36.880 me in. I have the amen. I agree with you 0:05:37.200 --> 0:05:40.279 that healing is coming. I agree that you will live 0:05:40.360 --> 0:05:43.279 and not die. I agree the number of your days 0:05:43.480 --> 0:05:47.440 God will fulfill. Or you believe you'll break the addiction 0:05:48.240 --> 0:05:51.279 you believe that no weapon formed against you will prosper. 0:05:51.960 --> 0:05:55.440 You have the yes. You're standing on the promises. Now 0:05:55.560 --> 0:05:59.840 find the amen. Not in oh no, you really think so. 0:06:00.680 --> 0:06:03.840 You struggled a long time. It doesn't look good. God's 0:06:03.920 --> 0:06:07.120 promises are not yes and oh no, they are yes 0:06:07.279 --> 0:06:11.360 and Amen. You need to come out of oh no agreements. 0:06:12.040 --> 0:06:16.640 Come out of negative agreements. People that doubt water down 0:06:16.720 --> 0:06:19.960 your faith cause you to get discouraged. If you'll get 0:06:20.080 --> 0:06:22.760 rid of the oh no people, God will send you 0:06:22.880 --> 0:06:27.000 amen people. People that say you believe the addiction is 0:06:27.080 --> 0:06:30.640 not permanent, that it can't control you. You have the yes, 0:06:31.000 --> 0:06:34.920 good news. I have the amen. I agree. Greater is 0:06:35.000 --> 0:06:37.320 he that's in you than what's trying to stop you. 0:06:37.760 --> 0:06:41.039 I agree. Whom the sun sets free is free. Indeed, 0:06:41.960 --> 0:06:44.960 when you have a faith partner, someone that will add 0:06:45.080 --> 0:06:49.000 the amen, it doesn't just encourage you, but it causes 0:06:49.080 --> 0:06:51.960 angels to go to work. Miracles are set in motion. 0:06:52.320 --> 0:06:56.440 Favor is released. When my mother was diagnosed with terminal 0:06:56.520 --> 0:06:59.920 liver cancer in nineteen eighty one, the doctors told my 0:07:00.160 --> 0:07:02.960 father that she had a few weeks to live. There 0:07:03.080 --> 0:07:06.520 was no treatment they could give her. Doctors do everything 0:07:06.640 --> 0:07:10.160 they can to keep people alive start the healing process, 0:07:10.800 --> 0:07:14.360 but sometimes they run out of options when the problem 0:07:14.440 --> 0:07:17.640 looks too big you don't see a way out. It's 0:07:17.720 --> 0:07:20.600 easy to get in agreement with the negative. With's what 0:07:20.720 --> 0:07:24.080 the experts say. They've given me the facts. They have 0:07:24.160 --> 0:07:27.960 a lot of experience education. I guess that's my lot 0:07:28.080 --> 0:07:32.440 in life. No, don't agree with the Oh, no, respect 0:07:32.480 --> 0:07:36.240 the people, respect their training. But there is someone God 0:07:36.360 --> 0:07:40.040 has ordained for you that has the amen. Someone that 0:07:40.120 --> 0:07:42.880 will say, I'm not moved by what the facts say, 0:07:43.360 --> 0:07:46.320 I'm not discouraged by how impossible it looks. I know 0:07:46.720 --> 0:07:50.560 God can do the impossible. You have to find the amen. 0:07:51.480 --> 0:07:54.840 You may have to bypass a dozen naysayers, friends that 0:07:54.920 --> 0:07:59.400 don't believe, coworkers that doubt, relatives that think you're far out. 0:08:00.160 --> 0:08:02.920 But if you'll not settle and get in agreement with 0:08:03.040 --> 0:08:06.320 the doubt, then you're going to come to a divine connection. 0:08:06.960 --> 0:08:10.920 A faith partner, a power partner, someone that knows that 0:08:11.240 --> 0:08:14.120 God is on the throne, that he's fighting your battles, 0:08:14.320 --> 0:08:18.120 that he has the final say in difficult times. It's 0:08:18.200 --> 0:08:21.560 so important who you're allowing to speak into your life 0:08:22.320 --> 0:08:25.320 when the battle is raging. You can't afford to have 0:08:25.520 --> 0:08:28.559 oh no voices. I don't see how it can happen. 0:08:29.040 --> 0:08:33.040 The oppositions so strong. Or be respectful, but get out 0:08:33.080 --> 0:08:36.520 of there. Don't spend your time with people that drain 0:08:36.640 --> 0:08:40.199 your faith. Find people that increase your faith, people that 0:08:40.360 --> 0:08:43.719 inspire you to believe that come into agreement with what 0:08:43.920 --> 0:08:47.800 you know God placed in your heart. My father drove 0:08:47.920 --> 0:08:51.480 my mother home from the hospital that Monday afternoon. The 0:08:51.600 --> 0:08:55.280 doctors had just given her no hope. Was very devastating. 0:08:55.920 --> 0:08:58.800 When they got home, the first thing they did was 0:08:58.880 --> 0:09:02.000 go to their bedroom. They got on their knees and 0:09:02.120 --> 0:09:06.240 they came into agreement. They said, God, you said you 0:09:06.280 --> 0:09:09.640 would restore health back into us. You said the number 0:09:09.800 --> 0:09:12.680 of our days you would fulfill. You said we will 0:09:12.760 --> 0:09:15.800 live and not die and declare the works of the Lord. 0:09:16.480 --> 0:09:20.640 My mother's faith alone was not enough, my father's faith 0:09:20.760 --> 0:09:24.760 alone was not enough. But when they came into agreement 0:09:25.320 --> 0:09:29.440 based on what God promised, their faith became more than enough. 0:09:30.120 --> 0:09:32.679 They had the yes. But when you add the amen, 0:09:33.160 --> 0:09:37.200 the most High God goes to work that activates supernatural power. 0:09:38.200 --> 0:09:40.959 There were plenty of people that doubted, plenty of o 0:09:41.200 --> 0:09:45.240 know's my mother didn't look well. She was frail, her 0:09:45.280 --> 0:09:48.520 skin was yellow. And some of them were good people. 0:09:49.000 --> 0:09:52.199 They were loving and caring, but they were only looking 0:09:52.280 --> 0:09:55.199 at it in the natural. And there are times you 0:09:55.280 --> 0:09:58.320 don't need sympathy. You don't need people to feel sorry 0:09:58.400 --> 0:10:01.319 for you. A get well called is fine, But what 0:10:01.520 --> 0:10:04.600 you really need is people that will release their faith 0:10:04.679 --> 0:10:07.880 for you. People that will speak light into the darkness, 0:10:08.320 --> 0:10:12.760 healing into the sickness, abundance into the lack, freedom into 0:10:12.800 --> 0:10:16.720 the addiction. Now, I'm all for being caring, helping those 0:10:16.800 --> 0:10:19.240 that are in tough times, but if you want to 0:10:19.280 --> 0:10:22.520 give someone a real gift, come into agreement with them, 0:10:23.160 --> 0:10:26.760 be a power partner. They need someone that will look 0:10:26.840 --> 0:10:30.719 beyond the natural and believe for the supernatural. Someone that 0:10:30.800 --> 0:10:34.520 will add the amen to their Yes, there are enough. 0:10:34.679 --> 0:10:37.800 Oh no people. Oh no, you don't look well. Oh no, 0:10:37.960 --> 0:10:40.800 you lost that client. Oh no, I saw the report. 0:10:41.320 --> 0:10:44.880 Stay away from oh no people. If you allow them. 0:10:45.200 --> 0:10:47.720 Oh no, people will talk you out of your healing. 0:10:48.440 --> 0:10:51.920 Oh no, people can keep you from your dreams. Oh no, 0:10:52.080 --> 0:10:55.760 people will stop your greatness from coming out. Do yourself 0:10:55.800 --> 0:10:59.120 a favor, Say goodbye to the oh no people. And 0:10:59.280 --> 0:11:02.360 find some ai men people. That's one thing you can 0:11:02.440 --> 0:11:05.199 count on when you come to Lakewood. You're going to 0:11:05.320 --> 0:11:10.480 find amen people, not doubters, but believers. When you listen 0:11:10.559 --> 0:11:13.640 to me, you're going to hear the amen. I'm going 0:11:13.679 --> 0:11:17.000 to come into agreement with what God promised you, that 0:11:17.120 --> 0:11:20.040 you will fulfill your purpose, That God will do more 0:11:20.160 --> 0:11:22.959 than you can imagine, that your latter days will be 0:11:23.040 --> 0:11:25.800 better than your former days. That you will see beauty 0:11:25.880 --> 0:11:28.400 for the ashes, that what was meant for your harm, 0:11:28.760 --> 0:11:33.000 God is turning to your advantage. When Niemiyah was rebuilding 0:11:33.040 --> 0:11:36.440 the walls of Jerusalem, there were two main critics trying 0:11:36.480 --> 0:11:39.240 to talk him out of it. The scripture says they 0:11:39.360 --> 0:11:43.080 invited Nehemiah to the planes of o No to meet 0:11:43.120 --> 0:11:45.840 with them. There was a city called oh No, Oh 0:11:46.040 --> 0:11:49.839 n Oh. It's significant that these critics were going to 0:11:49.960 --> 0:11:52.959 try to convince him not to move forward with his 0:11:53.160 --> 0:11:57.000 dream in a place called o No. It's no different today. 0:11:57.400 --> 0:12:00.160 There will be people that try to get you to 0:12:00.200 --> 0:12:02.920 come to oh No. Oh No, you won't get well, 0:12:03.520 --> 0:12:05.800 Oh no, you won't meet the right person. Oh No, 0:12:05.960 --> 0:12:08.559 you can't accomplish that dream. Stay out of Oh No, 0:12:09.320 --> 0:12:11.959 you don't belong there. All you're going to find in 0:12:12.080 --> 0:12:15.840 oh no is doubt, discouragement, can't do it, never going 0:12:15.920 --> 0:12:19.079 to happen. I'll make it real simple. Oh no is 0:12:19.120 --> 0:12:23.880 a no no. Pay attention to who you're in agreement with. 0:12:24.640 --> 0:12:27.520 Who are you letting speak into your life. If it's 0:12:27.600 --> 0:12:30.160 oh no, people, it's time to come out of that 0:12:30.320 --> 0:12:34.160 agreement that's going to limit you. Come into agreement with 0:12:34.400 --> 0:12:39.360 faith filled, favor filled all things are possible. People. You 0:12:39.520 --> 0:12:43.440 need to be in agreement with. Dream releasers, with people 0:12:43.520 --> 0:12:46.360 that don't limit you to what you can do, what 0:12:46.559 --> 0:12:50.040 you have, who you know, but people that understand the 0:12:50.160 --> 0:12:53.160 greatness of our God, people that know He can do 0:12:53.360 --> 0:12:56.520 more than you can ask or think. See, there are 0:12:56.640 --> 0:13:01.840 dream releasers and there are dream stealers. Dream releasers are 0:13:01.880 --> 0:13:05.040 people that are bold. They'll believe for what God put 0:13:05.120 --> 0:13:07.199 in your heart even when they don't see how it 0:13:07.320 --> 0:13:11.920 can happen. Dream stealers are just the opposite. These are 0:13:12.000 --> 0:13:14.319 people that will try to talk you out of your dream. 0:13:14.880 --> 0:13:18.520 They look at the circumstances, study the facts. They'll come 0:13:18.640 --> 0:13:21.240 up with a dozen reasons why it's not going to happen, 0:13:21.880 --> 0:13:24.480 and they're not bad people. They just can't see what 0:13:24.640 --> 0:13:27.720 you see. They don't feel what you feel. They don't 0:13:27.800 --> 0:13:31.599 hear that still small voice. It's a test. Are you 0:13:31.679 --> 0:13:34.559 going to get in agreement with the negative, go to 0:13:34.640 --> 0:13:38.040 the land of oh no, believe their doubt water down 0:13:38.120 --> 0:13:41.400 your dream? Or are you going to say, I appreciate 0:13:41.480 --> 0:13:44.520 your opinion, I love you as a friend, but I'm 0:13:44.559 --> 0:13:48.000 not coming into agreement with your doubt. You're an oh 0:13:48.120 --> 0:13:51.800 no person. I need an amen person, no offense, But 0:13:51.920 --> 0:13:55.320 you're a dream stealer, and I'm looking for a dream releaser. 0:13:56.120 --> 0:13:59.720 Come into an agreement with someone that ignites your faith, 0:14:00.480 --> 0:14:03.000 someone that believes in what God put in your heart, 0:14:03.440 --> 0:14:07.360 someone that inspires you to keep believing when it seems impossible. 0:14:07.800 --> 0:14:11.920 There's power in agreement. That's what my parents did on 0:14:12.000 --> 0:14:16.360 December eleventh, nineteen eighty one, on their bedroom floor. They 0:14:16.440 --> 0:14:20.120 came into agreement that God would heal my mother. When 0:14:20.160 --> 0:14:23.400 they finished praying, they said to each other, we're not 0:14:23.600 --> 0:14:26.320 going to break our agreement. We're going to stay in 0:14:26.480 --> 0:14:30.400 faith that what God promised will come to pass. Doubt 0:14:30.400 --> 0:14:35.480 would come, negative thoughts, the medical reports not improving. Mother 0:14:35.560 --> 0:14:37.720 would walk through the house and I would hear her 0:14:37.800 --> 0:14:41.080 ask my father, are you still in agreement? He would 0:14:41.080 --> 0:14:43.800 say yes, Dody, and I'm not going to change my mind. 0:14:44.680 --> 0:14:47.960 The scripture says, if any two of you agree, God 0:14:48.040 --> 0:14:50.600 will do what he promised. You don't have to find 0:14:50.720 --> 0:14:53.640 a dozen people that agree. You may not be able 0:14:53.720 --> 0:14:56.960 to find five people, but there is one person that 0:14:57.120 --> 0:15:00.440 God has already ordained will come in agreement with you 0:15:00.840 --> 0:15:04.400 for what you're believing for. There is a power partner 0:15:05.000 --> 0:15:07.640 that is not going to break their agreement. They're going 0:15:07.680 --> 0:15:10.840 to stand with you through thick and thin when others 0:15:10.960 --> 0:15:14.800 doubt think it's impossible, Like with my father, they're going 0:15:14.840 --> 0:15:18.360 to keep believing. They're going to keep speaking faith. It 0:15:18.400 --> 0:15:21.920 didn't happen overnight, but month by month, my mother got 0:15:22.040 --> 0:15:26.240 better and better. Year after year. She defied the odds. Today, 0:15:26.400 --> 0:15:31.120 forty years later, she's still healthy. In hall, there are 0:15:31.320 --> 0:15:35.800 battles that you can't win alone. There are dreams that 0:15:35.960 --> 0:15:39.560 won't come to pass with just your faith, your hard work, 0:15:39.760 --> 0:15:44.040 your effort. God designed people to come into agreement with you. 0:15:44.840 --> 0:15:48.640 When they agree, a power is released, a favor, a 0:15:48.760 --> 0:15:52.560 blessing that only comes from the two of you joining 0:15:52.640 --> 0:15:57.240 your faith. It's the power of agreement, but sometimes we're 0:15:57.280 --> 0:16:01.000 trying to do it on our own. I'm strong, I'm favored, 0:16:01.160 --> 0:16:04.480 and yes that's all true, but you are stronger when 0:16:04.520 --> 0:16:07.480 you have a power partner, someone you're in agreement with. 0:16:08.560 --> 0:16:12.280 Husbands and wives, you need to come into agreement what 0:16:12.400 --> 0:16:16.000 you're believing for your dreams, your health, your children. One 0:16:16.080 --> 0:16:18.320 of you has the yes, but you need to add 0:16:18.360 --> 0:16:21.280 the amen. You need to do. Like my parents, this 0:16:21.440 --> 0:16:23.960 is what we're believing for. We set the time that 0:16:24.040 --> 0:16:26.680 we come into agreement, and we're not going to break 0:16:26.800 --> 0:16:30.400 our agreement. Every day, Lord, thank you that what you 0:16:30.600 --> 0:16:34.280 promised is on the way. Speak faith into each other, 0:16:34.920 --> 0:16:38.640 declare what you're believing for. The scripture says two are 0:16:38.720 --> 0:16:41.920 better than one. When one falls, the other can lift 0:16:42.000 --> 0:16:46.840 him up. When doubt comes, negative circumstances, you can encourage 0:16:46.880 --> 0:16:50.120 your spouse, you can lift up that other person. Let 0:16:50.200 --> 0:16:53.080 them know we're not moved by what we see. We're 0:16:53.120 --> 0:16:56.120 not going to break our agreement. God is faithful and 0:16:56.280 --> 0:16:59.400 what he promised is on the way. When our son 0:16:59.480 --> 0:17:03.520 Jonathan was applying for college, we were praying, believing that 0:17:03.600 --> 0:17:06.240 he were to get accepted to the right school. It 0:17:06.359 --> 0:17:09.200 was a big deal, our first son going off on 0:17:09.280 --> 0:17:12.560 his own. We were concerned and trusting that the right 0:17:12.640 --> 0:17:16.840 doors would open. A friend of ours, Roxanne, who taught 0:17:16.880 --> 0:17:19.960 our children in homeschool, has a son the same age 0:17:20.000 --> 0:17:24.399 as Jonathan. Practically every morning I would hear Victoria on 0:17:24.520 --> 0:17:28.160 the phone with Roxanne. They were praying over our children, 0:17:28.640 --> 0:17:32.800 speaking faith into their future, declaring what God promised, that 0:17:32.880 --> 0:17:35.600 they are mighty in the land, that they will fulfill 0:17:35.680 --> 0:17:39.080 their destinies, that God was ordering their steps, that they 0:17:39.119 --> 0:17:41.960 were surrounded by favor, that they would get into the 0:17:42.080 --> 0:17:47.360 right college. They understood the power of agreement. The scripture 0:17:47.440 --> 0:17:50.640 says one can chase a thousand, but two can put 0:17:50.720 --> 0:17:54.359 ten thousand to fly. They were coming into agreement with 0:17:54.520 --> 0:17:58.280 the yes and the amen. A few months later, both 0:17:58.320 --> 0:18:01.800 of these young men were accepted to the same university, 0:18:01.880 --> 0:18:05.320 and they room together and now have graduated and are 0:18:05.359 --> 0:18:10.040 fulfilling their purposes. Instead of worrying about your children, instead 0:18:10.080 --> 0:18:13.360 of worrying about your finances, worrying about your health, why 0:18:13.400 --> 0:18:17.080 don't you find a power partner, someone that will agree, 0:18:17.400 --> 0:18:20.040 not with your doubts, not with what you don't think 0:18:20.080 --> 0:18:24.000 will happen, not with the lies, the enemy's whispering, but 0:18:24.200 --> 0:18:28.080 someone that will agree with the promises God has declared 0:18:28.119 --> 0:18:31.520 over your life. You have the yes, now you need 0:18:31.600 --> 0:18:34.760 to add the amen. A friend of mine is a 0:18:34.840 --> 0:18:38.440 professor of music at a large college. She's also a 0:18:38.520 --> 0:18:43.320 professional trumpet player. She teaches a class called experimental music. 0:18:44.000 --> 0:18:46.719 In one of her lessons, she has a grand piano 0:18:46.880 --> 0:18:49.760 on the stage. It has a microphone so the class 0:18:49.800 --> 0:18:52.920 can hear it. She takes her trumpet and plays the 0:18:53.040 --> 0:18:56.919 B note. When she hits that note perfectly pure, when 0:18:57.000 --> 0:19:00.359 the pitch is right on the sound vibration from the 0:19:00.440 --> 0:19:04.320 trumpet find the B note on the piano and cause 0:19:04.400 --> 0:19:07.920 it to vibrate without it being pushed. You can hear 0:19:08.000 --> 0:19:10.879 the piano even though no one is playing it. The 0:19:11.000 --> 0:19:14.600 B note from the trumpet has a sound that causes 0:19:14.680 --> 0:19:18.159 the B note on the piano to resonate in the 0:19:18.240 --> 0:19:22.920 same way God has ordained that certain people will resonate 0:19:23.040 --> 0:19:27.080 from your sound. What you're dreaming about, what you're believing 0:19:27.200 --> 0:19:31.080 for it may not mean much to some people. We're 0:19:31.160 --> 0:19:35.320 just doing life. They're friends, passing them in the grocery store, 0:19:35.520 --> 0:19:38.879 all good people, but they don't hear your sound. But 0:19:39.040 --> 0:19:43.320 there are people specifically that when they hear your dreams, 0:19:43.600 --> 0:19:46.200 when they see your vision, when they know what you're 0:19:46.240 --> 0:19:50.520 believing for something resonates with them. They want to help you. 0:19:51.080 --> 0:19:53.320 They want to believe with you. They want to come 0:19:53.400 --> 0:19:56.800 into agreement. You don't have to beg them, talk them 0:19:56.880 --> 0:20:00.520 into it, hope that they'll help you. It's a divine connection. 0:20:01.280 --> 0:20:04.920 God has orchestrated them to be a power partner to 0:20:05.040 --> 0:20:09.359 help push you into your destiny. Luke. Chapter one, an 0:20:09.440 --> 0:20:12.679 angel appeared to a young lady named Mary told her 0:20:12.760 --> 0:20:15.120 she was going to have a baby without knowing a man. 0:20:15.720 --> 0:20:19.639 That seemed impossible everything in Mary said, you must have 0:20:19.760 --> 0:20:23.600 heard wrong. That defies the laws of nature. How could 0:20:23.680 --> 0:20:27.400 someone come into agreement with Mary? This was so far out. 0:20:28.200 --> 0:20:31.520 She told her fiance Joseph that she was pregnant, but 0:20:31.640 --> 0:20:35.240 it wasn't a man, it was the Holy Spirit. He thought, yeah, right, 0:20:35.600 --> 0:20:40.879 he was breaking off the engagement. Sometimes people close to 0:20:41.000 --> 0:20:43.560 you won't be able to see what God put in 0:20:43.640 --> 0:20:48.119 your heart. Mary decided to visit her cousin Elizabeth in 0:20:48.200 --> 0:20:51.639 another city. She was an older woman that had been 0:20:51.720 --> 0:20:55.240 baring her whole life, but she became pregnant with John, 0:20:55.320 --> 0:20:58.919 the Baptist She'd been carrying the baby for six months 0:20:59.160 --> 0:21:02.240 but hadn't felt any kind of movement. She wondered, is 0:21:02.320 --> 0:21:05.280 this baby still alive? Maybe I got my hopes up 0:21:05.320 --> 0:21:08.920 for nothing. She was starting to doubt and be discouraged. 0:21:09.400 --> 0:21:13.040 About that time, Mary came knocking on the door. When 0:21:13.119 --> 0:21:17.080 Elizabeth opened it and saw Mary, the scripture says, at 0:21:17.160 --> 0:21:21.680 the sound of Mary's greeting, the baby leaped in Elizabeth's womb. 0:21:22.680 --> 0:21:26.000 All she said was hello, just greeted her. But the 0:21:26.160 --> 0:21:30.359 sound in Mary's wound connected with the sound in Elizabeth's womb, 0:21:30.720 --> 0:21:34.520 and the baby started kicking. What am I saying? Someone 0:21:34.680 --> 0:21:37.920 can hear your sound? Someone is gonna cause your baby 0:21:38.000 --> 0:21:41.240 to leave. Someone's gonna show up as a power partner. 0:21:42.119 --> 0:21:45.919 Mary came into agreement with Elizabeth and caused her baby 0:21:46.000 --> 0:21:49.960 to leap. Elizabeth came into agreement with Mary when no 0:21:50.080 --> 0:21:53.320 one else would believe she was pregnant. Everyone thought she 0:21:53.480 --> 0:21:57.200 was far out. But Elizabeth knew the same God who 0:21:57.320 --> 0:22:00.600 caused me to get pregnant against the odds has caused 0:22:00.680 --> 0:22:04.520 Mary to conceive without knowing a man. They came into 0:22:04.600 --> 0:22:08.480 agreement with each other, and they saw something uncommon, out 0:22:08.560 --> 0:22:12.480 of the ordinary. Elizabeth gave birth to John the Baptist. 0:22:12.880 --> 0:22:17.240 Mary gave birth to Jesus the Messiah. God will always 0:22:17.320 --> 0:22:21.200 have someone to come into agreement with you. If you're 0:22:21.200 --> 0:22:24.480 around people and your baby never leaps, they're not the 0:22:24.640 --> 0:22:28.159 right people. They may be fine, they're friends, but you 0:22:28.320 --> 0:22:31.560 need people to come into agreement with you that can 0:22:31.640 --> 0:22:35.600 hear your sound. You don't have to convince them, try 0:22:35.640 --> 0:22:39.320 to talk them in to what you're dreaming about. Persuade 0:22:39.400 --> 0:22:42.160 them to get behind you. That's not the right people. 0:22:42.760 --> 0:22:45.920 Love them, be good to them, but don't let their 0:22:46.040 --> 0:22:49.760 oh no keep you from your amen. When we heard 0:22:50.040 --> 0:22:53.240 the Compact Center was coming available, we met with a 0:22:53.560 --> 0:22:56.600 group of attorneys to see what they thought our chances were. 0:22:57.280 --> 0:22:59.720 The odds were against us. It was a long shot, 0:23:00.200 --> 0:23:02.760 but deep down I knew it was supposed to be ours. 0:23:03.080 --> 0:23:05.679 I had the faith that it could happen. I went 0:23:05.760 --> 0:23:08.800 in there excited. I told the people what we were 0:23:08.880 --> 0:23:12.359 thinking and how this was God opening the door. The 0:23:12.520 --> 0:23:16.520 main attorney, this man with all this experience, well known, 0:23:17.000 --> 0:23:20.480 very smart, He went on for fifteen minutes telling us 0:23:20.560 --> 0:23:23.000 how it wasn't going to happen, how there were too 0:23:23.040 --> 0:23:26.159 many hurdles, how the city wouldn't let the facility go 0:23:26.320 --> 0:23:29.160 to a church, on and on. I left there depressed. 0:23:29.800 --> 0:23:32.720 My baby didn't leave. My baby went to sleep. He 0:23:32.840 --> 0:23:38.120 put my baby on tranquilizers. Three hours later, something rose 0:23:38.240 --> 0:23:41.119 up in me so strong I thought, I am not 0:23:41.400 --> 0:23:44.480 coming into agreement with that loser. I mean that man. 0:23:45.119 --> 0:23:48.480 He does not control my destiny. He didn't breathe life 0:23:48.560 --> 0:23:51.800 into me. He didn't put this dream in my heart. 0:23:52.440 --> 0:23:56.560 He doesn't know what I've heard. Don't be discouraged when 0:23:56.600 --> 0:23:59.960 your sound doesn't resonate with someone else. They're not supposed 0:23:59.960 --> 0:24:02.480 to be for you. They're not in tune with what 0:24:02.640 --> 0:24:05.520 God is speaking to you. If I had come into 0:24:05.600 --> 0:24:09.960 agreement with that doubt, negativity, can't do it spirit, we 0:24:10.040 --> 0:24:13.280 wouldn't be in the Compact Center. If you're in agreement 0:24:13.359 --> 0:24:17.200 with the wrong people, you can miss your destiny. Everyone 0:24:17.359 --> 0:24:19.399 is not going to be for you. They're not going 0:24:19.480 --> 0:24:22.000 to understand. They're going to think it's too far out. 0:24:22.359 --> 0:24:24.879 You don't have what it takes. If they don't make 0:24:24.960 --> 0:24:28.920 your baby leap, move on. Don't come into agreement with 0:24:29.119 --> 0:24:32.840 their doubt, their negative spirit. You can't let the oh 0:24:33.000 --> 0:24:36.760 no people keep it from the amen that's coming. God 0:24:36.920 --> 0:24:39.879 has the marrors lined up the people that will make 0:24:39.960 --> 0:24:44.040 your baby leap. Elizabeth's husband was a man named Zachariah. 0:24:44.560 --> 0:24:47.760 An angel appeared to him and told him that Elizabeth 0:24:47.960 --> 0:24:49.680 was going to have a baby and they were to 0:24:49.760 --> 0:24:53.760 name him John. Instead of saying to the angel, like Mary, 0:24:54.119 --> 0:24:58.760 I believe it, let it happen, Zachariah said in verse eighteen, 0:24:59.080 --> 0:25:01.840 how can this be? I'm an old man and my 0:25:01.960 --> 0:25:05.560 wife is well along in years. The angel said, I 0:25:05.640 --> 0:25:09.200 am Gabriel. I stand in the presence of Almighty God. 0:25:09.680 --> 0:25:12.879 But because you doubted, you won't be able to speak 0:25:13.200 --> 0:25:17.119 until the baby is born. For nine months, Zachariah couldn't 0:25:17.119 --> 0:25:21.240 say a word. God knew if Elizabeth came into agreement 0:25:21.359 --> 0:25:24.720 with his doubt, this can't happen. We're too old. It 0:25:24.760 --> 0:25:28.159 would have kept the baby from coming. Zachariah was the 0:25:28.240 --> 0:25:31.679 oh no, but Mary was the amen. If you'll come 0:25:31.760 --> 0:25:35.080 out of the agreement with the zachariahz the Marys will 0:25:35.119 --> 0:25:38.520 show up. The right people will find you people that 0:25:38.640 --> 0:25:42.680 make your baby leave. We let that attorney know that 0:25:42.840 --> 0:25:44.800 he wasn't going to be a part of our team. 0:25:45.280 --> 0:25:47.920 Some people thought we were making a mistake. He was 0:25:48.040 --> 0:25:51.560 highly recommended. But if someone is trying to convince you 0:25:51.680 --> 0:25:54.800 to water down your dreams, settle for less than what's 0:25:54.880 --> 0:25:59.200 in your heart. No matter how smart, talented experience, they're 0:25:59.240 --> 0:26:03.720 not for you. Don't come into agreement with that limited vision. 0:26:04.160 --> 0:26:08.119 Wait for the right person. About two weeks later, another 0:26:08.240 --> 0:26:11.600 man came along. He was very influential. He'd been in 0:26:11.680 --> 0:26:15.960 Houston politics for many years, knew everyone, but he was 0:26:16.080 --> 0:26:20.240 far out. He loved to party, used rough language, didn't 0:26:20.240 --> 0:26:23.200 have any kind of faith background. The first time I 0:26:23.320 --> 0:26:25.840 met him, he said, Joe, I like you. I'm going 0:26:25.920 --> 0:26:28.320 to help you get that building. I said, you really 0:26:28.359 --> 0:26:30.480 think it can happen? He said, I don't think so, 0:26:30.800 --> 0:26:35.560 I know it can happen. My sound somehow resonated with him, 0:26:36.119 --> 0:26:40.480 and my baby started leaping. He was so confident, so bold, 0:26:40.600 --> 0:26:44.200 so positive, just the opposite of the other man. He 0:26:44.359 --> 0:26:47.520 made things happen that only the hand of God could 0:26:47.520 --> 0:26:50.320 have orchestrated. He thought he was doing it, but I 0:26:50.400 --> 0:26:53.480 knew it was God working behind the scenes, using a 0:26:53.560 --> 0:26:56.280 man that wasn't raised like me. But he was a 0:26:56.320 --> 0:27:00.879 divine connection. Here we are in the compact center. Who 0:27:01.000 --> 0:27:04.520 you're in agreement with is going to determine whether or 0:27:04.560 --> 0:27:08.240 not you reach your destiny. Maybe you don't have anyone 0:27:08.359 --> 0:27:11.400 around you that's full of faith believes that God can 0:27:11.480 --> 0:27:14.760 do great things. That's why God has you hearing this. 0:27:15.680 --> 0:27:19.200 I want to come into agreement with you. I'm believing 0:27:19.720 --> 0:27:22.879 for what you're believing for. I'm in agreement that the 0:27:23.000 --> 0:27:25.720 dreams God put in your heart will come to pass, 0:27:26.119 --> 0:27:29.080 that the right doors will open, the right people will 0:27:29.119 --> 0:27:32.320 show up. You will see favor and increase and go 0:27:32.560 --> 0:27:36.320 further than you've imagined. I'm in agreement that you are 0:27:36.480 --> 0:27:40.800 healthy and whole, that the sickness is not permanent. Healing 0:27:41.000 --> 0:27:45.920 is flouent into you. You are getting stronger, You are vibrant, energetic. 0:27:46.200 --> 0:27:49.320 You will run and not be weary with long life. 0:27:49.480 --> 0:27:53.320 God will satisfy you. I'm in agreement that you are 0:27:53.520 --> 0:27:59.000 free from every addiction, every bad habit, from depression, anxiety. 0:27:59.359 --> 0:28:02.800 Every strong hold is coming down that will not hinder 0:28:02.920 --> 0:28:09.000 you the rest of your life. You will walk in freedom, wholeness, joy, peace, victory. 0:28:09.760 --> 0:28:12.960 I'm in agreement that you will lend and not borrow, 0:28:13.359 --> 0:28:18.800 that you will see overflow, that abundance is coming explosive blessings, 0:28:19.160 --> 0:28:22.680 blessings that catapult you to a new level. And I'm 0:28:22.720 --> 0:28:26.040 in agreement that your children are mighty in the land, 0:28:26.600 --> 0:28:29.560 that they stand out in the crowd, that they are 0:28:29.640 --> 0:28:33.960 full of wisdom, they make great decisions, they are great leaders, 0:28:34.200 --> 0:28:37.800 they will fulfill their purpose.

I'm gonna thank 0:28:41.160 --> 0:28:44.160 God that what you're believing for will come to pass. 0:28:44.280 --> 0:28:46.560 I'm gonna be a power partner.
