And I like to start with something 0:02:16.200 --> 0:02:19.359 funny and I heard about these three sons that left 0:02:19.400 --> 0:02:22.519 home and went out and prospered. And they got back 0:02:22.560 --> 0:02:25.440 together to talk about the gifts they had bought their 0:02:25.520 --> 0:02:29.640 elderly mother. The first said, I built mom a big house. 0:02:30.320 --> 0:02:33.600 The second said, I got her a fancy car. The 0:02:33.639 --> 0:02:37.040 third said, since mother loves to read the Bible but 0:02:37.080 --> 0:02:40.560 she can barely see, I got her a specially trained 0:02:40.639 --> 0:02:44.440 parrot that can quote the entire Bible. A few months 0:02:44.480 --> 0:02:47.240 they got a letter from their mother said, Milton, the 0:02:47.320 --> 0:02:50.200 house you built me is way too big. Gerald, the 0:02:50.240 --> 0:02:52.840 car you bought me is way too small. But my 0:02:52.960 --> 0:02:56.440 dearest Donald, your simple gift was my favorite. 0:02:56.560 --> 0:02:59.080 The chicken was delicious. 0:03:00.120 --> 0:03:02.799 Up your bible, say it like you mean it. This 0:03:02.880 --> 0:03:05.280 is my Bible. I am what it says I am. 0:03:05.680 --> 0:03:08.040 I have what it says I have. I can do 0:03:08.120 --> 0:03:10.680 what it says I can do. Today I will be 0:03:10.760 --> 0:03:14.519 taught the word of God. I boldly confess. My mind 0:03:14.600 --> 0:03:17.720 is alert, my heart is receptive. I will never be 0:03:17.840 --> 0:03:22.560 the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you. I want 0:03:22.560 --> 0:03:25.400 to talk to you today about the rain is coming. 0:03:26.400 --> 0:03:26.960 I was in. 0:03:26.880 --> 0:03:30.600 Africa years ago and there was a severe drought. The 0:03:30.639 --> 0:03:33.880 ground was so dry that it was breaking apart. The 0:03:33.960 --> 0:03:38.560 vegetation had all dried up. The livestock couldn't survive. It 0:03:38.640 --> 0:03:43.400 was bearing empty, no life, all because there had been 0:03:43.440 --> 0:03:47.680 no rain. And every person goes through times of drought, 0:03:48.400 --> 0:03:51.280 dry seasons when we don't see anything happening. 0:03:51.600 --> 0:03:53.560 We've got big dreams, we're. 0:03:53.360 --> 0:03:57.320 Standing on God's promises, but we just don't see anything changing. 0:03:57.680 --> 0:04:01.920 It's dry and bearing. Be blessed in one area and 0:04:01.960 --> 0:04:05.480 in a drought in another. Have a successful career but 0:04:05.920 --> 0:04:09.080 you struggle in your marriage, a drought in a relationship. 0:04:09.760 --> 0:04:11.600 Or you can have a great marriage but you just 0:04:11.640 --> 0:04:14.160 don't feel well, a drought in your health. 0:04:14.920 --> 0:04:17.640 I know a lady. She has everything going for she's. 0:04:17.560 --> 0:04:22.800 Beautiful, talented, successful, but year after year she struggles with 0:04:22.880 --> 0:04:26.320 the same addiction. And it's easy to think this is 0:04:26.320 --> 0:04:29.239 the way it's always going to be. I'll always be lonely, 0:04:29.880 --> 0:04:32.720 I'll always have to deal with this depression. I'll always 0:04:32.720 --> 0:04:36.080 struggle in my finances. Now, I want to announce that 0:04:36.120 --> 0:04:39.839 in twenty fourteen, that drought is coming to an end. 0:04:40.680 --> 0:04:47.200 Any area of brokenness, dryness, loneliness, every empty place, if 0:04:47.240 --> 0:04:49.800 you will stay in faith, God is going to rain 0:04:49.920 --> 0:04:53.640 down favor rain down, healing, rain, down restoration. 0:04:54.400 --> 0:04:56.120 Psalm sixty eight says. 0:04:56.160 --> 0:05:00.360 You sent an abundant reign, O God, why don't you 0:05:00.440 --> 0:05:03.040 get that in your spirit? You're about to see an 0:05:03.080 --> 0:05:08.960 abundant rain. Every drought is only temporary. That dry season 0:05:09.160 --> 0:05:14.120 is not going to last forever. Why the rain is coming, That. 0:05:14.080 --> 0:05:16.919 Addiction is not going to be with you your whole life. 0:05:17.400 --> 0:05:18.360 Rain is coming. 0:05:19.160 --> 0:05:24.119 Struggle and lack is not your destiny. It's temporary. Rain 0:05:24.279 --> 0:05:27.000 is headed your way. Some of you have been in 0:05:27.040 --> 0:05:29.320 a drought in your health, chronic pain. 0:05:29.839 --> 0:05:33.440 You don't feel well. You could easily settle there, or 0:05:33.480 --> 0:05:34.840 you need to get your umbrella. 0:05:35.120 --> 0:05:39.000 I see clouds starting to form. Maybe in your career 0:05:39.040 --> 0:05:42.080 you feel stuck. You can't seem to get a good break. 0:05:42.240 --> 0:05:45.960 You got passed over for the promotion. Don't get discouraged. 0:05:46.160 --> 0:05:48.839 God has something better for you. It's not going to 0:05:48.839 --> 0:05:52.400 be a drizzle, not a sprinkle, but a downpour, an 0:05:52.440 --> 0:05:55.839 abundance of rain. When you get up in the morning, 0:05:56.080 --> 0:05:58.680 you need to declare it Father, thank you that the 0:05:58.760 --> 0:06:02.320 drought is ending and the rain is coming. Think you 0:06:02.360 --> 0:06:05.120 that in twenty fourteen, I'll see an abundance of your 0:06:05.200 --> 0:06:08.880 goodness in my life. I have a friend that lost 0:06:08.920 --> 0:06:10.840 his wife to cancer a while back. 0:06:11.560 --> 0:06:14.600 They'd been married for over thirty years, been best. 0:06:14.360 --> 0:06:17.520 Friend since high school, and their sons had grown up 0:06:17.560 --> 0:06:18.560 and were successful. 0:06:18.600 --> 0:06:20.200 And just when they thought. 0:06:20.040 --> 0:06:23.600 They'd step into this new season, travel and enjoy each 0:06:23.600 --> 0:06:26.440 other's company, she came down with this sickness. 0:06:27.040 --> 0:06:28.360 For months and months. 0:06:28.400 --> 0:06:31.040 He took care of her, treated her like a queen, 0:06:31.120 --> 0:06:33.120 and she fought the good fight of faith. 0:06:33.720 --> 0:06:37.040 Ended up going to heaven was very difficult on him. 0:06:37.440 --> 0:06:40.880 This strong man has a deep faith, but it was 0:06:40.960 --> 0:06:45.160 harder than anything he imagined. He told me how at 0:06:45.200 --> 0:06:49.880 his house alone at night, he felt so lost, so empty, 0:06:50.720 --> 0:06:53.640 reach over in bed, and she wasn't there anymore. He 0:06:53.720 --> 0:06:56.479 never dreamed life was going to turn out that way. 0:06:57.200 --> 0:07:01.159 He was in a drought. He could have gotten bitter, depressed, 0:07:01.640 --> 0:07:04.480 would have been easy to settle in that empty place, 0:07:05.120 --> 0:07:09.760 but he understood this principle that the drought may come. 0:07:10.560 --> 0:07:12.200 There are dry. 0:07:12.040 --> 0:07:15.760 Seasons where we feel empty, but that is not the 0:07:15.920 --> 0:07:17.080 end of your story. 0:07:17.760 --> 0:07:19.080 Rain is coming. 0:07:19.600 --> 0:07:22.760 The scripture says, weeping may endure for a night, but 0:07:22.960 --> 0:07:26.880 joy comes in the morning. Rain can take a dry 0:07:27.120 --> 0:07:30.760 bearing place and bring new life. It may have been 0:07:30.800 --> 0:07:33.680 that way for a month, for a year, or for 0:07:33.800 --> 0:07:34.560 twenty years. 0:07:35.080 --> 0:07:38.040 But when the rain comes, things that seem. 0:07:37.920 --> 0:07:41.760 Dead begin to bloom, begin to blossom, begin to flourish. 0:07:41.920 --> 0:07:46.400 They just needed some rain. What you may think is over. 0:07:46.320 --> 0:07:49.120 And done, the loss of a loved one, loss of 0:07:49.160 --> 0:07:53.160 a dream, loss of a relationship. You feel lonely, empty, 0:07:53.480 --> 0:07:56.880 like it could never change. No, all you need is 0:07:56.920 --> 0:08:00.960 some rain. The God we serve is say, I'm going 0:08:01.040 --> 0:08:03.640 to send rain to your barren places. 0:08:04.160 --> 0:08:05.040 It's not over. 0:08:05.360 --> 0:08:10.880 I'm going to rain down new opportunities, new relationships, new ideas. 0:08:10.680 --> 0:08:11.440 New dreams. 0:08:12.200 --> 0:08:16.160 Not long ago, my friend met a young lady, never 0:08:16.200 --> 0:08:19.480 been married before. They hit it off and started dating, 0:08:19.520 --> 0:08:24.040 and recently they got engaged. Now he's got that spring back. 0:08:24.080 --> 0:08:27.840 In his death, weeping endured for a night, but joy came. 0:08:28.360 --> 0:08:31.040 He was in a barn place, but God rained down 0:08:31.080 --> 0:08:34.760 favor some of you. Today, you're in that dry place. 0:08:35.480 --> 0:08:38.600 Things haven't turned out the way you've hoped, been through some. 0:08:38.480 --> 0:08:43.160 Difficulties, but that is not the end. Joy is coming. 0:08:43.600 --> 0:08:46.800 You may be in a drought, but rain is headed 0:08:46.840 --> 0:08:50.960 your way. This is your year to bloom, to blossom, 0:08:51.480 --> 0:08:52.240 to flourish. 0:08:52.520 --> 0:08:54.040 It's your year to see. 0:08:53.880 --> 0:08:58.640 New growth, new opportunities. God is about to rain down his. 0:08:58.760 --> 0:09:00.480 Favor in a bounds. 0:09:00.920 --> 0:09:05.240 He's going to turn your mourning into dancing, your sorrow 0:09:05.520 --> 0:09:10.040 into joy, your loneliness into love. He's going to give 0:09:10.040 --> 0:09:13.000 you beauty for those ashes. The drought is coming to 0:09:13.040 --> 0:09:17.800 an end. One Kings, Chapter eighteen. The Samaritans had been 0:09:17.800 --> 0:09:19.959 in a great famine for three and. 0:09:19.880 --> 0:09:21.560 A half years. There had been no rain. 0:09:22.160 --> 0:09:25.840 The people barely had food, barely were surviving. The prophet 0:09:25.880 --> 0:09:29.680 Elijah showed up and said to King Ahab, I hear 0:09:29.760 --> 0:09:34.120 the sound of the abundance of rain. When he said 0:09:34.160 --> 0:09:37.560 that there wasn't a cloud in the sky, no sign 0:09:37.600 --> 0:09:41.440 of rain, Yet he chose to believe what he heard 0:09:41.440 --> 0:09:45.360 in his spirit in spite of what he saw with 0:09:45.480 --> 0:09:50.000 his eyes. He saw drought, famine, barrenness. But down in 0:09:50.080 --> 0:09:53.880 here he heard the sound of abundance of rain. This 0:09:54.040 --> 0:09:56.679 is what faith is all about. You've got to believe 0:09:56.960 --> 0:10:00.120 what you hear in your heart, even when what you 0:10:00.120 --> 0:10:03.920 you see is just the opposite. You hear abundance, but 0:10:04.000 --> 0:10:07.240 you may see lack. You hear health, but you may 0:10:07.280 --> 0:10:10.880 see sickness. You hear rain, but you may look around 0:10:11.200 --> 0:10:15.600 and see drought. I'm sure, Ahab thought old Elijah. 0:10:15.200 --> 0:10:16.520 The heat must be getting to him. 0:10:16.920 --> 0:10:19.000 Because there's not a cloud in the sky. It's not 0:10:19.040 --> 0:10:22.640 going to rain. It's easy to talk yourself out of 0:10:22.679 --> 0:10:26.240 what God wants to do. God is saying there's about 0:10:26.240 --> 0:10:29.360 to be an abundance of favor in your life. The 0:10:29.480 --> 0:10:33.800 drought is coming to an end. You're going to see healing, restoration, 0:10:34.400 --> 0:10:38.800 new opportunities, new growth. Now, don't be like King Gayhab. 0:10:39.440 --> 0:10:39.959 Look around. 0:10:40.160 --> 0:10:43.360 I don't think so, Joel. The medical reports still bad. 0:10:43.960 --> 0:10:47.679 My child's still acting up. I'll never meet the right person. Now, 0:10:47.720 --> 0:10:51.360 why don't you be like Elijah and have a boldness 0:10:51.520 --> 0:10:52.520 to believe what. 0:10:52.440 --> 0:10:53.520 God's put in your heart. 0:10:53.720 --> 0:10:57.240 Why don't you start declaring the rain is coming, Favor 0:10:57.400 --> 0:11:01.360 is coming. Twenty fourteen is my year to bloom, to blossom, 0:11:01.480 --> 0:11:05.560 to flourish, to see new growth. Elijah went on top 0:11:05.640 --> 0:11:09.640 of Mount Carmel. He asked his assistant to go look 0:11:09.720 --> 0:11:12.280 on the other side of the mountain and see if 0:11:12.280 --> 0:11:13.920 there's any sign of rain. 0:11:14.360 --> 0:11:17.640 He put actions behind his faith. He was expecting it 0:11:17.720 --> 0:11:18.920 to change. 0:11:18.960 --> 0:11:21.520 The assistant came back and said, no, Elijah, there's not 0:11:21.600 --> 0:11:24.200 a cloud in the sky, it's not going to rain. 0:11:25.280 --> 0:11:28.319 Elijah didn't get discouraged. He didn't think, well, I must 0:11:28.360 --> 0:11:31.000 have heard God wrong. He told him to go back 0:11:31.040 --> 0:11:34.320 and look again. He went and came back with the 0:11:34.360 --> 0:11:40.319 same report. Nothing, no clouds. This happened six times. If 0:11:40.360 --> 0:11:43.640 you're going to see abundance, you can't let people talk 0:11:43.720 --> 0:11:45.920 you out of what God put in your heart. 0:11:46.200 --> 0:11:49.480 Don't let words of doubt and discourage it take root. 0:11:50.120 --> 0:11:52.559 People may tell you things like, you really think you're 0:11:52.559 --> 0:11:55.560 going to get well, my grandmother died of that same disease. 0:11:56.240 --> 0:11:58.000 You think you're going to get that position. I don't 0:11:58.000 --> 0:12:01.400 think you're really qualified. Left the go in one ear 0:12:01.480 --> 0:12:04.719 and out the other. People don't determine your destiny. 0:12:04.880 --> 0:12:05.480 God does. 0:12:06.679 --> 0:12:12.640 What you hear in your spirit is more powerful than 0:12:12.720 --> 0:12:15.720 any negative words that have been spoken over you. If 0:12:15.760 --> 0:12:19.160 you will listen carefully, you'll hear the sound of abundance, 0:12:19.640 --> 0:12:23.559 the sound of increase, the sound of new levels. That's 0:12:23.760 --> 0:12:28.160 the creator of the universe calling out your seeds of greatness. 0:12:28.760 --> 0:12:30.040 God does not want. 0:12:29.840 --> 0:12:32.319 You to stay where you are. He's got new levels. 0:12:32.840 --> 0:12:35.480 But you got to get into agreement with him. You 0:12:35.600 --> 0:12:38.640 got to atnite this moment and say, yes, this is 0:12:38.679 --> 0:12:42.360 from me today. My child may be off course, but 0:12:42.440 --> 0:12:46.000 I'm not worried. I hear the sound of restoration. I 0:12:46.040 --> 0:12:48.960 know the rain is coming. I may not feel well, 0:12:49.120 --> 0:12:52.600 I'm not discouraged. I hear the sound of healing. I 0:12:52.640 --> 0:12:55.679 went through a loss. I'm not living depressed. I hear 0:12:55.720 --> 0:12:58.880 the sound of new beginnings. I know the drought is 0:12:59.000 --> 0:13:02.400 ending and the rain is coming. When I look out 0:13:02.440 --> 0:13:04.640 at you, you know what. I hear the sound of 0:13:04.760 --> 0:13:08.319 dreams coming to pass. The sound of marriage is being restored, 0:13:08.800 --> 0:13:11.880 the sound of that baby you've been believing for, the 0:13:11.960 --> 0:13:15.640 sound of divine connections. You're meeting the right person. I 0:13:15.679 --> 0:13:20.120 hear the sound of new opportunities. It's the sound of abundance. 0:13:21.080 --> 0:13:24.640 On the seventh time, the Assistant came back and stead alike. 0:13:24.760 --> 0:13:28.959 At this time I saw a small cloud in the sky. 0:13:29.200 --> 0:13:31.439 Was it much? Don't get your hopes up. 0:13:31.720 --> 0:13:34.319 It was just about the size of a man's hand. 0:13:35.400 --> 0:13:38.160 One thing I love about God is he can take 0:13:38.240 --> 0:13:42.559 something small and turn it into much. God doesn't need 0:13:42.600 --> 0:13:45.360 the whole sky to be filled with clouds. 0:13:45.600 --> 0:13:49.240 He can take a tiny, little cloud. Most people would 0:13:49.320 --> 0:13:51.800 dismiss it. It's nothing. It's insignificant. 0:13:51.920 --> 0:13:54.160 Yet God can bring a downpour out of it. 0:13:54.679 --> 0:13:55.440 What am I saying? 0:13:55.920 --> 0:13:58.560 You don't need a bunch of people behind you. 0:13:58.559 --> 0:14:00.480 You just need the right person, Jim. 0:14:01.360 --> 0:14:05.679 You don't have to be the most powerful, the most influential. 0:14:06.600 --> 0:14:11.360 God used a teenage girl named Esther, an orphan, to 0:14:11.480 --> 0:14:15.320 save all of Israel. God used a donkey to speak 0:14:15.320 --> 0:14:18.200 to a prophet no offense, but most of us don't 0:14:18.200 --> 0:14:19.600 pay any attention to a donkey. 0:14:19.880 --> 0:14:20.960 It's insignificant. 0:14:21.240 --> 0:14:25.040 God used a slingshot and a few stones to defeat 0:14:25.080 --> 0:14:28.480 Goliath and put David, a shepherd boy with. 0:14:28.440 --> 0:14:32.360 No training, on the throne of Israel. Don't discount the 0:14:32.400 --> 0:14:33.160 little cloud. 0:14:33.720 --> 0:14:37.120 God can take something small and turn it into something great. 0:14:38.080 --> 0:14:42.480 That's how Lakewood got started. Nineteen fifty nine, my dad 0:14:42.520 --> 0:14:43.560 decided to leave. 0:14:43.400 --> 0:14:44.760 The church he was pastoring. 0:14:45.240 --> 0:14:48.320 He felt limited by the denomination he was in. He 0:14:48.320 --> 0:14:51.560 heard the sound of something bigger on the inside. 0:14:51.680 --> 0:14:54.040 Dad. He wanted to start a new church, but he 0:14:54.040 --> 0:14:56.200 didn't have any money, he didn't. 0:14:55.920 --> 0:14:59.320 Have a building, there wasn't a cloud in the sky. 0:14:59.360 --> 0:15:02.200 But one of his neighbors said, John, I've got an 0:15:02.240 --> 0:15:06.640 old Rundown feed store that we're not using anymore. You're 0:15:06.680 --> 0:15:10.760 welcome to hold your surfaces there. This little wood frame 0:15:10.840 --> 0:15:14.240 building had holes in the floor, still had hay and 0:15:14.280 --> 0:15:17.440 feed in it. My parents and some others they cleaned 0:15:17.480 --> 0:15:19.360 it out, put ninety wooden. 0:15:19.080 --> 0:15:22.680 Chairs and start at Lakewood Church. We come a long way, baby, 0:15:23.280 --> 0:15:25.880 don't despise the day of small beginnings. 0:15:27.400 --> 0:15:31.040 Some of you, like Elijah, all you can see is 0:15:31.080 --> 0:15:33.520 a little cloud, a little glimmer of hope. 0:15:33.640 --> 0:15:37.200 Doesn't look like much. Every voice tells you don't. 0:15:36.960 --> 0:15:40.040 Get your hopes up. You're gonna be disappointed again. Nothing's 0:15:40.080 --> 0:15:42.840 gonna change. I want to tell you just the opposite. 0:15:43.320 --> 0:15:47.520 Get your hopes up, find your umbrella, put your raincoat on. 0:15:47.920 --> 0:15:51.160 God's about to rain down an abundance of favor. There's 0:15:51.200 --> 0:15:54.120 gonna be an abundance of goodness in your life. God 0:15:54.200 --> 0:15:56.600 has done it in the past, He's gonna do it 0:15:56.640 --> 0:15:57.240 in the future. 0:15:57.560 --> 0:15:59.360 That drought is coming to an end. 0:16:00.680 --> 0:16:03.800 Elijah told King Aheb, you better get in your chariot 0:16:03.840 --> 0:16:07.680 and take off, because the sound of abundance that I've 0:16:07.680 --> 0:16:10.800 heard on the inside is about to come to pass 0:16:10.840 --> 0:16:11.640 on the outside. 0:16:12.360 --> 0:16:13.960 A Hab took off in his chariot. 0:16:14.360 --> 0:16:18.400 Elijah took off running This was before there was any 0:16:18.480 --> 0:16:19.200 sign of rain. 0:16:20.040 --> 0:16:21.240 Notice Elijah's faith. 0:16:21.560 --> 0:16:25.240 He was making plans for abundance when all he saw 0:16:25.640 --> 0:16:26.520 was a little cloud. 0:16:27.480 --> 0:16:28.080 If you wait. 0:16:28.040 --> 0:16:31.400 Around, discourage negative, I'll believe it when I see it, 0:16:31.520 --> 0:16:34.200 You'll be waiting your whole life. You got to do 0:16:34.360 --> 0:16:38.480 like Elijah and start making plans for abundance. Start making 0:16:38.560 --> 0:16:42.520 plans for increase. Start talking like it's going to happen. 0:16:43.240 --> 0:16:45.880 Not if I get well, but when I get well. 0:16:46.600 --> 0:16:49.240 Not if I break this addiction, but when I break 0:16:49.240 --> 0:16:49.760 this addiction. 0:16:50.280 --> 0:16:53.040 Not if I start my business, but when I start 0:16:53.080 --> 0:16:53.880 my new business. 0:16:54.040 --> 0:16:57.400 You got to show God that you're trusting him. This 0:16:57.440 --> 0:16:59.920 is what Elijah did. As he was heading out. 0:17:00.320 --> 0:17:03.720 The heavens opened up, the rains came pouring down, the 0:17:03.760 --> 0:17:05.320 three and a half year drought was over. 0:17:06.320 --> 0:17:09.560 Well, Joel, that sounds great, but I don't even see 0:17:09.600 --> 0:17:11.359 a little cloud in my sky. 0:17:12.040 --> 0:17:14.560 I've been believing to meet the right person, but I 0:17:14.600 --> 0:17:16.560 hadn't had a date in twenty seven years. 0:17:16.840 --> 0:17:18.280 I don't see how it could happen. 0:17:19.240 --> 0:17:22.600 Just because you don't see anything, does it mean God's 0:17:22.680 --> 0:17:23.159 not working? 0:17:23.720 --> 0:17:26.720 You don't know what God is up to behind the seeds. 0:17:27.280 --> 0:17:28.080 A few months ago. 0:17:28.280 --> 0:17:31.640 I was in my backyard and it's a beautiful day, sunny, 0:17:31.760 --> 0:17:34.480 blue and clear, and I was in a long chair, 0:17:34.600 --> 0:17:38.720 just relaxing, enjoying the day. All of a sudden, out 0:17:38.760 --> 0:17:43.320 of nowhere, it began to rain. I did not see one. 0:17:43.240 --> 0:17:44.879 Cloud in the sky. 0:17:45.000 --> 0:17:46.879 It was as blue as can be. The sun was 0:17:46.920 --> 0:17:50.000 out very bright. But for about three minutes there was 0:17:50.040 --> 0:17:52.159 this downpour. I thought, where is. 0:17:52.160 --> 0:17:53.640 This rain coming from. 0:17:54.080 --> 0:17:56.919 It was like God said, Joel, I can make it 0:17:57.040 --> 0:18:00.800 rain whenever I want to. I can use a little cloud, 0:18:01.400 --> 0:18:03.680 a big cloud, or no cloud. 0:18:04.040 --> 0:18:08.399 I'm God. I'm the all powerful creator of the universe. 0:18:09.000 --> 0:18:13.560 When I say rain, I don't need a cloud. When 0:18:13.600 --> 0:18:17.040 I say healing, I don't have to have medicine. When 0:18:17.040 --> 0:18:20.480 I say promotion, I don't need your boss's approval. When 0:18:20.480 --> 0:18:24.359 I see abundance, I don't need a bank. I'm not 0:18:24.720 --> 0:18:30.000 limited by the natural. I'm a supernatural God. All of 0:18:30.040 --> 0:18:34.280 your circumstances may say you'll never get well, you'll never 0:18:34.280 --> 0:18:37.040 get out of that, you'll never accomplish your dreams. There's 0:18:37.080 --> 0:18:40.720 not a cloud in the sky. But take heart, he's 0:18:40.760 --> 0:18:44.600 still God, He's still on the throne. He doesn't need 0:18:44.640 --> 0:18:47.760 a cloud to make it rain. I met a man 0:18:47.880 --> 0:18:51.560 after our services a while back, and he'd had ninety percent. 0:18:51.280 --> 0:18:54.760 Of his vocal cords removed, had some kind of infection. 0:18:55.200 --> 0:18:57.879 It wouldn't go away, and finally the doctors had to 0:18:57.920 --> 0:18:58.560 remove them. 0:18:59.160 --> 0:19:00.679 He was told that he would never. 0:19:00.560 --> 0:19:03.080 Be able to speak, that he might be able to 0:19:03.080 --> 0:19:05.880 make some sounds, but he would never be able to speak. 0:19:06.520 --> 0:19:09.240 But he talked to me just like I'm talking to you. 0:19:09.760 --> 0:19:13.600 I didn't know anything was wrong. The doctors couldn't explain it. 0:19:13.760 --> 0:19:17.280 They said, medically speaking, you shouldn't be able to talk. 0:19:17.880 --> 0:19:21.199 What was that? God making it rain without a cloud. 0:19:21.960 --> 0:19:26.320 God can do what medical science cannot do. Don't talk 0:19:26.400 --> 0:19:30.320 yourself out of it. Don't let your circumstances discourage you. 0:19:31.240 --> 0:19:33.639 Everything doesn't have to look the way you think it 0:19:33.680 --> 0:19:34.240 should look. 0:19:34.600 --> 0:19:38.800 God's ways are not our ways. God brought water out 0:19:38.800 --> 0:19:42.280 of a rock. Jesus told Peter to go catch a fish, 0:19:42.680 --> 0:19:45.040 open his mouth, and there was the money he needed 0:19:45.040 --> 0:19:49.000 for taxes. God caused a young lady named Mary to 0:19:49.080 --> 0:19:52.439 have a baby without knowing a man. God healed my 0:19:52.520 --> 0:19:57.000 mother from terminal cancer without treatment. God put me up 0:19:57.040 --> 0:20:00.640 here in front of a lot of people without going seminary. 0:20:01.320 --> 0:20:04.600 God gave me a beautiful wife without find a mate 0:20:04.640 --> 0:20:06.000 dot com. 0:20:06.560 --> 0:20:07.160 He's God. 0:20:08.600 --> 0:20:12.199 He can use those things, or he can do it 0:20:12.240 --> 0:20:17.320 another way, without a cloud, without a bank, without the treatment, 0:20:17.600 --> 0:20:21.200 without the experience. God has ways to make it rain 0:20:21.359 --> 0:20:24.080 in your life that you've never dreamed of. You don't 0:20:24.119 --> 0:20:25.400 have to figure everything out. 0:20:25.680 --> 0:20:27.520 All you've got to do is believe. 0:20:28.119 --> 0:20:31.320 In fact, it says in Proverbs, lean not to your 0:20:31.320 --> 0:20:36.120 own understanding. Sometimes there is no logical solution. You got 0:20:36.119 --> 0:20:39.159 to turn your mind off. If you're constantly trying to 0:20:39.160 --> 0:20:39.960 figure it out. 0:20:39.920 --> 0:20:45.119 That's just gonna make you discouraged, depressed, frustrated. Just because 0:20:45.160 --> 0:20:48.000 you don't see a way doesn't mean that God doesn't 0:20:48.000 --> 0:20:48.480 have a way. 0:20:49.359 --> 0:20:52.200 I heard a story about a little girl that wanted 0:20:52.240 --> 0:20:56.040 a kitten so badly. She kept asking her mother week 0:20:56.160 --> 0:20:59.119 after week. But her mom didn't want any more pets. 0:20:59.359 --> 0:21:03.320 She told her again and again. This little girl wouldn't 0:21:03.400 --> 0:21:08.000 let up for months. She continued asking for that kitten. Finally, 0:21:08.000 --> 0:21:11.119 her mother said, listen, honey, if God gives you a kitten, 0:21:11.400 --> 0:21:12.359 I'll let you keep it. 0:21:13.040 --> 0:21:14.480 The little girl didn't know any better. 0:21:14.920 --> 0:21:17.760 She went out in her backyard, got on her knees 0:21:17.800 --> 0:21:19.720 and said, God, please. 0:21:19.560 --> 0:21:20.479 Give me a kitten. 0:21:21.119 --> 0:21:25.440 When she finished praying with her mother watching, this kitten 0:21:25.560 --> 0:21:30.200 came flying out of the air and landed unharmed, right 0:21:30.240 --> 0:21:30.920 beside her. 0:21:31.760 --> 0:21:34.640 The mother thought she was seeing things. She went outside, 0:21:34.720 --> 0:21:37.080 looked around. There was no tree overhead. It was like 0:21:37.119 --> 0:21:39.840 this kitten had been rained down from the heavens. Little 0:21:39.840 --> 0:21:41.919 girl picked it up. Thank you Lord for my kitten. 0:21:43.760 --> 0:21:47.000 Several weeks later, the mother learned that one of her 0:21:47.040 --> 0:21:51.119 neighbors that lived behind her and about four houses down, 0:21:51.720 --> 0:21:53.840 was trying to get this little kitten out of a 0:21:53.880 --> 0:21:57.360 small tree. The father couldn't reach it with his ladder, 0:21:57.720 --> 0:22:00.240 so he tied a rope around the tree and the 0:22:00.280 --> 0:22:03.280 other end to the bumper of his car. He began 0:22:03.359 --> 0:22:06.439 to pull forward to bend the tree over. When he 0:22:06.480 --> 0:22:08.639 got it bent far enough over where he thought he 0:22:08.680 --> 0:22:11.679 could get it, the rope broke and the tree acted 0:22:11.720 --> 0:22:17.439 like a slingshot. It slung that kitten over two hundred 0:22:17.520 --> 0:22:19.960 yards away, landed right by that little girl. 0:22:20.840 --> 0:22:24.320 Friends, God knows how to make it rain in your life. 0:22:24.640 --> 0:22:29.560 He doesn't need a cloud. He may not do it 0:22:29.680 --> 0:22:30.840 in an ordinary way. 0:22:31.640 --> 0:22:33.800 Quit trying to figure out how it's going to happen, 0:22:34.000 --> 0:22:37.480 and just believe that it will happen. I received a 0:22:37.560 --> 0:22:40.600 letter from a young lady named Alana. She and her 0:22:40.640 --> 0:22:42.879 parents brother. They've been a part of Lakewood for about 0:22:42.920 --> 0:22:47.280 ten years. Alana was born with spina bifida. At several 0:22:47.320 --> 0:22:50.880 months old, she had to have surgery to untether her 0:22:50.920 --> 0:22:54.440 spinal cord. Her parents were told she would probably never 0:22:54.520 --> 0:22:56.960 be able to walk, to run, or do any kind 0:22:57.000 --> 0:23:00.440 of physical activity, but they believe that God can make 0:23:00.480 --> 0:23:04.000 a way even when we don't see anyway. Every day, 0:23:04.400 --> 0:23:08.560 her mother would do leg exercises with little Alana, much 0:23:08.640 --> 0:23:12.560 to the doctor's surprise, at seven months old, she started walking. 0:23:13.040 --> 0:23:15.359 It's like God putt an exclamation point on it. 0:23:15.960 --> 0:23:19.680 She grew up and joined our children's choir, loved to sing, 0:23:19.800 --> 0:23:20.480 love to dance. 0:23:20.560 --> 0:23:22.160 Life was good, but. 0:23:22.200 --> 0:23:25.840 At ten years old, she had complications with her spinal 0:23:25.880 --> 0:23:30.200 cord had to have an emergency surgery. When she woke up, 0:23:30.320 --> 0:23:32.440 she was paralyzed from the neck down. 0:23:33.200 --> 0:23:34.880 The doctors told her, I'm sorry. 0:23:34.680 --> 0:23:38.440 Elana, you'll never be able to walk again. She could 0:23:38.480 --> 0:23:41.440 have gotten depressed, thought, well, just my luck. I knew 0:23:41.480 --> 0:23:42.160 this was coming. 0:23:42.440 --> 0:23:42.480 No. 0:23:42.600 --> 0:23:46.320 At ten years old, she said doctors. God did it 0:23:46.320 --> 0:23:48.560 for me once, He'll do it for me again. 0:23:51.160 --> 0:23:54.439 She said, I walked in here on my own, and 0:23:54.520 --> 0:23:57.159 I'll walk out of here on my own. She was 0:23:57.200 --> 0:24:00.560 in a drought, but like Elijah, she heard the sound 0:24:00.640 --> 0:24:06.080 of rain. Every circumstance said you're paralyzed. Just accept it. 0:24:06.400 --> 0:24:09.680 Your life is limited. But on the inside she heard 0:24:09.680 --> 0:24:12.119 God saying, this is not the end. 0:24:12.080 --> 0:24:14.439 Of your story. You will walk again. 0:24:14.840 --> 0:24:18.000 I've got a destiny for you to fulfill. When she 0:24:18.119 --> 0:24:21.160 told the doctor, I walked in here and I'll walk 0:24:21.240 --> 0:24:24.880 out right then, for the first time since the surgery, 0:24:25.200 --> 0:24:29.360 she felt her toes begin to move. Her therapist told her, 0:24:29.720 --> 0:24:32.720 out of all of my patients with spina bifida, you're 0:24:32.760 --> 0:24:36.680 the only one that can walk without leg braces. Her 0:24:36.720 --> 0:24:41.160 doctors wrote on their report, there is no scientific explanation 0:24:41.640 --> 0:24:44.879 as to why Alana is the way she is. What 0:24:45.119 --> 0:24:48.800 was that God making it rain without a cloud. Her 0:24:48.840 --> 0:24:52.359 doctors are so impressed they call her God's rock star. 0:24:53.520 --> 0:24:57.040 Alana recently graduated from an early college program and is 0:24:57.080 --> 0:25:00.080 about to get her nursing degree. Her dream is to 0:25:00.160 --> 0:25:04.000 become a pediatric neurosurgeon to help other children in her 0:25:04.040 --> 0:25:06.560 same condition. Here's Alana and her family right here on 0:25:06.600 --> 0:25:09.199 the front road. Come on, Atlanta, where you stand up 0:25:09.200 --> 0:25:16.000 for We're proud of your You may be in a 0:25:16.080 --> 0:25:19.040 drought today, you don't see any cloud in the sky. 0:25:19.480 --> 0:25:22.639 But remember God doesn't need a cloud. He did it 0:25:22.640 --> 0:25:23.240 for Atlanta. 0:25:23.720 --> 0:25:25.879 He can do it for you. Now you got to 0:25:25.920 --> 0:25:26.760 get in agreement. 0:25:27.119 --> 0:25:29.399 Start saying, Father, thank you that the rain is coming, 0:25:29.840 --> 0:25:31.560 think you that healing's coming, thank you. 0:25:31.520 --> 0:25:34.600 That restoration is on its way. Dare to make some 0:25:34.680 --> 0:25:37.679 declarations of faith like she did. I walked in. 0:25:37.560 --> 0:25:40.200 Here on my own, and I will walk out Why 0:25:40.400 --> 0:25:42.919 the God I serve is a rain making God. 0:25:43.960 --> 0:25:46.480 This is what Abraham did when he. 0:25:46.440 --> 0:25:48.800 Was waiting for the child that God promised him. 0:25:48.960 --> 0:25:50.080 He was way too old. 0:25:50.480 --> 0:25:54.800 It looked impossible, but the scripture says he grew strong. 0:25:54.640 --> 0:25:57.080 In faith by giving praise to God. 0:25:57.520 --> 0:25:59.520 He got up every morning and said, Lord, thank you 0:25:59.560 --> 0:26:02.439 that your rain is coming, thinking that my baby is 0:26:02.520 --> 0:26:04.080 on its way, thinking that. 0:26:04.040 --> 0:26:05.399 You're faithful to your word. 0:26:05.920 --> 0:26:09.199 He kept thanking God for what he heard in his spirit. 0:26:10.160 --> 0:26:13.960 Like Abraham, God has put dreams in your heart. He's 0:26:14.000 --> 0:26:18.359 spoken promises over you. Deep down, you know you'll get well. 0:26:18.880 --> 0:26:21.240 You know you'll break that addiction. You know you will 0:26:21.240 --> 0:26:25.360 accomplish your dreams. But in the natural it looks impossible. 0:26:25.800 --> 0:26:28.240 You don't see how the odds are against you. 0:26:28.359 --> 0:26:29.399 It's been so long. 0:26:29.840 --> 0:26:33.200 Oh, God is saying what I started in your life, 0:26:33.480 --> 0:26:34.640 I will finish. 0:26:35.240 --> 0:26:39.119 Rain is coming. The clouds are starting to form. 0:26:39.800 --> 0:26:43.520 I can hear some thunder rumbling in the distance. Now, 0:26:43.600 --> 0:26:48.919 keep praying, keep believing, keep expecting one touch of God's favor, 0:26:49.160 --> 0:26:52.800 one downpour, and like Atlanta, you'll be able to walk again. 0:26:53.400 --> 0:26:57.240 Like Abraham, the baby will suddenly be conceived. The drought 0:26:57.400 --> 0:27:00.679 will come to an end. I have a pass. Friend. 0:27:01.160 --> 0:27:02.960 He needed a larger auditorium. 0:27:03.400 --> 0:27:06.040 Church was really growing, but he didn't have any way 0:27:06.119 --> 0:27:06.919 to expand. 0:27:07.280 --> 0:27:08.440 He was landlocked. 0:27:08.880 --> 0:27:12.160 Year after year, he kept searching, looking at the real 0:27:12.280 --> 0:27:15.879 estate listings, driving the city, but nothing was available. 0:27:15.960 --> 0:27:17.560 Door after door had closed. 0:27:18.040 --> 0:27:20.760 He could have gotten discouraged, but he just kept praying, 0:27:21.080 --> 0:27:24.040 kept believing, kept thanking God that the rain was coming. 0:27:24.880 --> 0:27:29.840 Last fall, a large retail store about two miles from 0:27:29.840 --> 0:27:34.040 his church unexpectedly went out of business broke their lease. 0:27:34.560 --> 0:27:37.760 The owners of the property came to him and said, 0:27:37.760 --> 0:27:39.240 would you like to lease our building? 0:27:39.400 --> 0:27:40.160 For your church. 0:27:40.840 --> 0:27:44.640 Now he has four times the space, four times the parking, 0:27:44.960 --> 0:27:48.040 in a premier location. He said, Joel, It's better than 0:27:48.119 --> 0:27:49.720 anything I ever imagined. 0:27:50.200 --> 0:27:50.840 What was that? 0:27:51.280 --> 0:27:55.480 A downpour of God's goodness? Suddenly the drought came to 0:27:55.520 --> 0:27:55.960 an end. 0:27:56.640 --> 0:28:00.280 You need to get ready.
