But thanks for tuning in, Thanks again 0:02:11.840 --> 0:02:14.320 for coming out. I like to start with something funny, 0:02:14.360 --> 0:02:16.400 and I heard about this college professor. 0:02:16.919 --> 0:02:18.960 He told his students he was going to prove that 0:02:19.000 --> 0:02:20.000 there is no God. 0:02:20.520 --> 0:02:23.960 He said, God, if you're real, knock me off this platform. 0:02:24.240 --> 0:02:26.280 I'll give you fifteen minutes to do it. 0:02:26.760 --> 0:02:29.519 With every minute that went by, he kept taunting God, 0:02:29.639 --> 0:02:30.600 saying here I am God. 0:02:30.639 --> 0:02:31.520 I'm still waiting. 0:02:32.160 --> 0:02:35.960 About that time, a three hundred pound football player walking 0:02:36.000 --> 0:02:39.480 down the hall overheard what he was saying in there. 0:02:39.360 --> 0:02:42.959 Put his shoulder down. He knocked that professor flying off 0:02:43.000 --> 0:02:44.000 that platform. 0:02:44.440 --> 0:02:46.639 The professor got up in a daze and said, what 0:02:46.680 --> 0:02:49.720 in the world did you do that for? The player replied, 0:02:50.000 --> 0:02:54.640 God said he was busy, so he sent me, all right, 0:02:54.840 --> 0:02:57.200 hold up your Bible. Say it like you mean it. 0:02:57.639 --> 0:03:00.360 This is my Bible. I am what is it says 0:03:00.360 --> 0:03:03.360 I am. I have what it says I have. I 0:03:03.400 --> 0:03:06.120 can do what it says I can do. Today I 0:03:06.160 --> 0:03:09.519 will be taught the word of God. I boldly confess 0:03:10.080 --> 0:03:13.880 my mind is alert, my heart is receptive. I will 0:03:13.960 --> 0:03:17.720 never be the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you. 0:03:18.840 --> 0:03:21.600 I want to talk to you today about walking in the. 0:03:21.480 --> 0:03:22.840 Fullness of the blessing. 0:03:23.680 --> 0:03:26.680 Every one of us, as God's children, has what the 0:03:26.720 --> 0:03:32.120 Scripture calls the blessing. It's an empowerment, a divine enablement 0:03:32.360 --> 0:03:36.320 to accomplish our God given dreams. The blessing is really 0:03:36.440 --> 0:03:39.880 God's favor on your life. It's when he's breathing in 0:03:39.920 --> 0:03:43.400 your direction. When you walk in the blessing, you make 0:03:43.480 --> 0:03:48.080 good decisions, you see supernatural opportunities, the right people come 0:03:48.120 --> 0:03:52.000 across your path, and you realize it's not your own strength, 0:03:52.360 --> 0:03:55.560 it's not your own ability, it's the blessing of God 0:03:55.640 --> 0:03:59.600 on your life. And we've all experienced a measure of 0:03:59.600 --> 0:04:03.000 this blame. We've seen a measure of God's favor. 0:04:03.800 --> 0:04:04.680 But there is a. 0:04:04.720 --> 0:04:08.160 Level of blessing God is going to release in your 0:04:08.240 --> 0:04:12.480 life like nothing you've ever seen before. The Apostle Paul 0:04:12.560 --> 0:04:15.840 said in Romans, I will come in the fullness of 0:04:15.880 --> 0:04:20.120 the blessing. That word fullness means to the highest degree, 0:04:20.320 --> 0:04:23.440 the greatest measure. He may say, well, Joel, God has 0:04:23.480 --> 0:04:25.840 blessed me. I've got a good family I've got a 0:04:25.880 --> 0:04:28.440 good job, I live in a nice house. That's great. 0:04:28.760 --> 0:04:32.400 But God is saying, you haven't seen anything yet. You 0:04:32.520 --> 0:04:35.440 haven't touched the surface of what God has in store. 0:04:35.960 --> 0:04:39.400 You've walked in a measure of that blessing. But God 0:04:39.520 --> 0:04:43.480 has a much greater measure. He has promotion lined up 0:04:43.480 --> 0:04:46.120 for you that if He showed you right now, it 0:04:46.240 --> 0:04:50.720 boggleed your mind. God has opportunities in your future that 0:04:50.760 --> 0:04:53.720 are going to amaze you. He's going to bring people 0:04:53.800 --> 0:04:56.920 across your path to where you look back and say 0:04:56.960 --> 0:04:58.640 that had to be the hand of God. 0:04:59.160 --> 0:04:59.920 What am I saying? 0:05:00.440 --> 0:05:03.760 What you've seen in the past is a tiny fraction 0:05:04.160 --> 0:05:06.200 of what God is going to do in the future. 0:05:07.240 --> 0:05:09.120 If you would have told me when I was in 0:05:09.160 --> 0:05:13.000 my twenties sitting here at the Compact Center watching the 0:05:13.080 --> 0:05:17.440 Rockets play basketball, that one day this would be our facility, 0:05:17.960 --> 0:05:18.480 I would have. 0:05:18.480 --> 0:05:20.760 Said, what planet have you been living on? 0:05:21.520 --> 0:05:25.880 That was so much bigger, so far beyond anything I 0:05:25.880 --> 0:05:28.919 could even imagine. If you would have told me just 0:05:29.080 --> 0:05:33.000 ten years ago, when I was working behind the scenes here, 0:05:33.320 --> 0:05:37.680 never ministered before, quiet and reserved, that one day I 0:05:37.680 --> 0:05:40.919 would be a minister, One day I would be on television, 0:05:41.320 --> 0:05:43.719 I would write books go all over the world. I 0:05:43.760 --> 0:05:46.840 would have said, your elevator doesn't go all the way up. 0:05:47.680 --> 0:05:49.120 I didn't think this was in me. 0:05:49.880 --> 0:05:54.200 But one thing I've learned is God likes to outdo himself. 0:05:54.920 --> 0:05:58.160 God's dream for your life is so much bigger than 0:05:58.200 --> 0:06:01.520 your own. God is going to take you places that 0:06:01.600 --> 0:06:04.680 you've never thought possible. He is going to open up 0:06:04.760 --> 0:06:08.240 doors that you've never imagined. He's going to bring talent 0:06:08.320 --> 0:06:10.560 out of you that you didn't even know you had. 0:06:11.279 --> 0:06:14.200 This is the time to get excited about your future. 0:06:14.520 --> 0:06:17.440 It's time to get your hopes. So you are not 0:06:17.640 --> 0:06:21.919 here by accident. You have been chosen by the creator 0:06:22.000 --> 0:06:26.839 of the universe. Your destiny is not determined by the economy, 0:06:27.279 --> 0:06:27.799 or how. 0:06:27.640 --> 0:06:29.480 You were raised, or your education. 0:06:30.160 --> 0:06:34.200 Your destiny is determined by Almighty God. And the good 0:06:34.240 --> 0:06:38.320 news is God has already laid out a life of 0:06:38.400 --> 0:06:41.960 victory for every one of you, whether you realize it 0:06:42.080 --> 0:06:46.280 or not. Even right now, because you're honoring God, he 0:06:46.400 --> 0:06:49.720 is arranging things in your favor. He is lining up 0:06:50.120 --> 0:06:56.200 new ideas, new opportunities, promotion increase in the days ahead. 0:06:56.480 --> 0:06:58.480 You're going to like stumble into it. 0:06:58.839 --> 0:07:01.200 You're going to look up like I didn't think, how 0:07:01.320 --> 0:07:04.159 in the world did I end up here. I didn't 0:07:04.160 --> 0:07:07.560 have the experience, didn't have the connections, didn't have the funds. 0:07:07.839 --> 0:07:10.720 All I can say is, look what the Lord has 0:07:10.760 --> 0:07:11.640 done in my life. 0:07:12.280 --> 0:07:13.000 What happened? 0:07:14.080 --> 0:07:17.960 You tapped in to a greater measure of that blessing. 0:07:19.040 --> 0:07:21.800 But some of you today you're not releasing your faith 0:07:21.960 --> 0:07:26.320 for this fullness. It's easy to get satisfied and think, well, Joel, 0:07:26.360 --> 0:07:28.800 I am blessed. I've got a roof over my head, 0:07:29.040 --> 0:07:31.760 I've got money to pay my bills, and that's good. 0:07:32.120 --> 0:07:36.160 But that's not God's best. God is a god of abundance. 0:07:36.720 --> 0:07:39.240 He wants you to not only have enough for your needs, 0:07:39.560 --> 0:07:42.120 but to have so much left over you can be 0:07:42.160 --> 0:07:45.400 a blessing to somebody else. And we need to go beyond. 0:07:45.720 --> 0:07:48.240 I'm blessed because I got food on the table. I'm 0:07:48.280 --> 0:07:52.080 blessed because I've got peace, and that's good. Let's be grateful, 0:07:52.200 --> 0:07:56.160 but don't stop there. The fullness of the blessing is 0:07:56.200 --> 0:07:58.760 when you get up in the morning and say, Wow, God, 0:07:59.080 --> 0:08:02.320 I'm amazed where you brought me. I'm amazed at the 0:08:02.320 --> 0:08:05.760 family You've given me. I'm amazed at this opportunity. I'm 0:08:05.800 --> 0:08:09.760 amazed at this beautiful house. When you stand in amazement 0:08:09.880 --> 0:08:12.880 of God's goodness, that's a sign you're tapping into the 0:08:12.880 --> 0:08:15.920 fullness of the blessing. And you may not be there 0:08:16.000 --> 0:08:19.800 just yet. But my encouragement is don't settle where you are. 0:08:20.520 --> 0:08:24.280 You've got to keep your faith stirred up every morning. 0:08:24.680 --> 0:08:28.280 Thank God for the fullness of his blessing. When you 0:08:28.400 --> 0:08:32.080 go out, look for God's favor. You are a child 0:08:32.360 --> 0:08:36.600 of the most High God. God is a God of overflow. 0:08:37.120 --> 0:08:39.880 He is not a barely get by God. He is 0:08:39.960 --> 0:08:43.720 a more than enough God. What He has laid out 0:08:43.760 --> 0:08:47.440 for your future is more than you can imagine. What 0:08:47.559 --> 0:08:50.920 he's got arranged for your family is more than you've 0:08:50.920 --> 0:08:54.640 ever even dreamed of. In the coming days, you're going 0:08:54.720 --> 0:08:58.079 to see supernatural doors begin to open. You're going to 0:08:58.160 --> 0:09:02.040 see promotion like you've not seen. God is going to 0:09:02.040 --> 0:09:05.880 bring people across your path that, for no apparent reason, 0:09:06.200 --> 0:09:08.680 will wanna be good to you, people that will help 0:09:08.720 --> 0:09:10.120 you fulfill your dreams. 0:09:10.400 --> 0:09:12.600 You're gonna have extraordinary wisdom. 0:09:12.880 --> 0:09:15.400 You're gonna tap into ability that you didn't even know 0:09:15.520 --> 0:09:19.880 you had. You're gonna walk in the fullness of this blessing. Well, 0:09:20.000 --> 0:09:22.280 you say, Joel, I don't believe that's gonna happen for me. 0:09:22.760 --> 0:09:25.480 I don't believe I'm gonna rise any higher. Then this 0:09:25.559 --> 0:09:28.000 is not for you. This is for believers. 0:09:28.360 --> 0:09:30.760 This is for people that will let the seed take 0:09:30.800 --> 0:09:35.240 through no matter where you are. 0:09:35.960 --> 0:09:38.040 You need to dig your heels in and say, with 0:09:38.120 --> 0:09:41.880 the apostle Paul, I'm not settling here. I'm gonna become 0:09:42.080 --> 0:09:45.040 everything God's created me to be. I'm gonna walk in 0:09:45.080 --> 0:09:49.360 the fullness of his blessing. The scripture talks about how 0:09:49.440 --> 0:09:53.400 God will give us houses that we didn't build, vineyards 0:09:53.440 --> 0:09:56.840 that we didn't plan. That simply means if you'll keep 0:09:56.920 --> 0:10:00.920 God first place and honor him with your life, God 0:10:00.960 --> 0:10:03.679 will give you favor that you didn't have to work for. 0:10:04.400 --> 0:10:07.080 God will give you promotion even though you weren't the 0:10:07.080 --> 0:10:13.560 most qualified. He'll release extraordinary blessings simply because you're His child. 0:10:14.320 --> 0:10:16.400 You need to get this down in your spirit. It 0:10:16.480 --> 0:10:20.360 is going to be a supernatural year. God is going 0:10:20.400 --> 0:10:25.120 to unleash his favor in unprecedented ways. You may have 0:10:25.120 --> 0:10:28.480 had victories in your past, but your greatest victories are 0:10:28.520 --> 0:10:31.320 still in your future. What God has done in the 0:10:31.360 --> 0:10:34.959 past is going to peale in comparison to what God 0:10:35.080 --> 0:10:35.800 is about to do. 0:10:36.440 --> 0:10:37.760 You might as well get ready. 0:10:37.920 --> 0:10:40.520 There is going to be a great outpouring of God's 0:10:40.520 --> 0:10:44.320 goodness like nothing we've ever seen before. You and I 0:10:44.480 --> 0:10:47.280 are living at the right time, We are at the 0:10:47.400 --> 0:10:51.440 right place, We're in the right family. As long as 0:10:51.520 --> 0:10:55.600 we continue to be people of excellence and integrity, then 0:10:55.640 --> 0:10:59.040 nothing that's happened in the past, nor nothing that will 0:10:59.080 --> 0:11:02.120 happen in the future, can stop this blessing from. 0:11:02.000 --> 0:11:02.680 Coming our way. 0:11:04.040 --> 0:11:07.040 But you see, Joel, I don't see how you can 0:11:07.080 --> 0:11:09.800 say that. With the economy like it is. All the 0:11:09.880 --> 0:11:11.960 experts are saying it's going to get worse before it 0:11:11.960 --> 0:11:15.679 gets better. That may be true in general, but it 0:11:15.720 --> 0:11:18.040 doesn't have to be true for you and me. We 0:11:18.080 --> 0:11:21.720 are connected to a supply line that will never run dry. 0:11:22.679 --> 0:11:27.360 God said, your ly will not wither, and whatever you 0:11:27.440 --> 0:11:31.160 touch will prosper. Don't be talked into having a bad year. 0:11:31.760 --> 0:11:34.640 The economy is not our source. God is our source. 0:11:35.520 --> 0:11:40.040 And God wants to bless you beyond your salary. He 0:11:40.120 --> 0:11:44.040 wants to bless you beyond your normal income. God likes 0:11:44.080 --> 0:11:47.679 to do unusual things. He can bless you with what 0:11:47.720 --> 0:11:54.440 I call an explosive blessing. That means, all of a sudden, unexpectedly, 0:11:54.600 --> 0:11:59.199 out of the blue, you get an inheritance or a debt, 0:11:59.400 --> 0:12:03.240 is cancer on a business, takes off, a new client, 0:12:03.360 --> 0:12:07.480 searches you out. An explosive blessing takes you to a 0:12:07.520 --> 0:12:11.920 new level. It blasts away old limitations, and suddenly you 0:12:12.000 --> 0:12:15.720 find yourself further than you ever dreamed. Had a gentleman 0:12:15.800 --> 0:12:18.360 tell me just last week how he got a check 0:12:18.400 --> 0:12:22.280 in the mail and inheritance from someone he didn't even 0:12:22.400 --> 0:12:25.760 know he was related to. That one check put him 0:12:25.800 --> 0:12:27.559 and his family at a whole new level. 0:12:27.920 --> 0:12:30.040 What was it? An explosive blessing. 0:12:30.920 --> 0:12:33.360 I don't know about you, but I'm believing this year 0:12:33.520 --> 0:12:34.440 I'm going to see. 0:12:34.200 --> 0:12:36.559 More of these explosive blessings. 0:12:37.400 --> 0:12:42.840 We should pray God blest me to a new level. 0:12:43.480 --> 0:12:46.320 God bless me out of these limitations that are holding 0:12:46.400 --> 0:12:50.000 me back. I have some friends that own property out 0:12:50.000 --> 0:12:52.360 in the country. They've had it for years and years, 0:12:52.720 --> 0:12:54.360 hardly paid anything for it. 0:12:54.360 --> 0:12:56.040 It's way out in the middle of nowhere. 0:12:56.520 --> 0:12:59.920 But several months ago the state informed them that they're 0:13:00.040 --> 0:13:02.360 putting a new freeway in and is going. 0:13:02.240 --> 0:13:03.880 To go right through their property. 0:13:04.559 --> 0:13:07.280 They not only sold part of it for a huge 0:13:07.320 --> 0:13:10.679 profit to the state, but now three or four developers 0:13:10.920 --> 0:13:14.560 are bidding over the rest of that property. Overnight, it 0:13:14.600 --> 0:13:18.240 went from being worth nothing to being extremely valuable. 0:13:18.880 --> 0:13:19.520 Think about it. 0:13:19.760 --> 0:13:23.160 God knew all along where the freeway was going to go. 0:13:23.160 --> 0:13:27.120 God had it all planned out. Then suddenly, unexpectedly, things 0:13:27.160 --> 0:13:31.200 fell into place. A single parent mom told how a 0:13:31.240 --> 0:13:35.800 local hospital forgave a fifty seven thousand dollars debt for 0:13:35.880 --> 0:13:40.560 her child's surgery and explosive blessing. A young man told 0:13:40.840 --> 0:13:43.840 how the college he wanted to attend didn't have any 0:13:43.880 --> 0:13:47.640 more scholarships. He applied, but they turned him down. He 0:13:47.720 --> 0:13:50.120 was very discouraged. He didn't have the funds to go 0:13:50.200 --> 0:13:53.679 on his own. Three weeks before school started, he got 0:13:53.720 --> 0:13:57.120 a call back from the university saying something had changed. 0:13:57.720 --> 0:14:00.960 Instead of offering him the two year partial scholarship that 0:14:01.000 --> 0:14:04.000 he'd applied for, they said, We've got a four year 0:14:04.200 --> 0:14:08.280 total scholarship for you. Just one phone call, one touch 0:14:08.280 --> 0:14:13.840 of God's favor, one explosive blessing. Now when he graduates 0:14:14.360 --> 0:14:17.280 instead of having tens of thousands of dollars to pay back, 0:14:17.559 --> 0:14:21.840 he'll graduate totally free. Why don't you start believing for 0:14:21.920 --> 0:14:25.360 some of these explosive blessings, blessings that will thrust you 0:14:25.520 --> 0:14:29.720 to a new level. Paul said in Ephesians Too, in 0:14:29.800 --> 0:14:35.280 the Ages to come, we would see the immeasurable, unlimited, 0:14:35.640 --> 0:14:40.200 surpassing greatness of God's favor. In other words, he's saying, 0:14:40.400 --> 0:14:44.440 we will see far and beyond favor, favor like people 0:14:44.520 --> 0:14:47.840 have never seen before. You think about what God's done 0:14:47.880 --> 0:14:51.320 in the past. He parted the Red Sea. One time, 0:14:51.360 --> 0:14:55.160 God stopped the sun for Joshua. You remember how Jesus 0:14:55.160 --> 0:14:58.560 fed thousands with just a little boy's lunch. All kinds 0:14:58.600 --> 0:15:02.920 of great miracles have taken yet. Paul is saying, in 0:15:03.000 --> 0:15:06.400 the Ages to come, God would do things that far 0:15:06.640 --> 0:15:09.400 supersede anything he's ever done before. 0:15:10.240 --> 0:15:13.600 Think about this. Paul wrote this ages ago. 0:15:14.600 --> 0:15:16.800 I believe the age is to come that he's talking 0:15:16.840 --> 0:15:21.000 about is the day we're living in today. We need 0:15:21.000 --> 0:15:24.360 to start believing for this far and beyond favor. 0:15:25.400 --> 0:15:29.160 Don't go year after year expecting the same thing the 0:15:29.240 --> 0:15:29.920 same way. 0:15:30.520 --> 0:15:34.720 God is a god of increase, He has greater levels. 0:15:35.280 --> 0:15:39.720 Where you are is not where you're supposed to stay. Well, God, 0:15:40.080 --> 0:15:41.840 you know what the economy is like. If you'll just 0:15:41.880 --> 0:15:44.560 help me scrape by these next two years. Now, that 0:15:44.720 --> 0:15:48.800 is a limited mindset. God created you as the head 0:15:49.080 --> 0:15:52.200 and not the tail. He said you would lend and 0:15:52.240 --> 0:15:56.360 not borrow. He is called El Shadai, the God who 0:15:56.440 --> 0:15:59.480 is more than enough. You have got to get rid 0:15:59.720 --> 0:16:04.400 of life, little dreams, little ideas, little plans. Keep a 0:16:04.440 --> 0:16:07.840 God sized vision in front of you. God wants to 0:16:07.880 --> 0:16:11.960 show every one of you the surpassing greatness of his favor. 0:16:12.440 --> 0:16:15.280 He can give you one idea that will take you 0:16:15.360 --> 0:16:17.840 to a new level. He can cause you to meet 0:16:17.880 --> 0:16:21.200 one person that will change your life for the better forever. 0:16:21.960 --> 0:16:25.880 Dare to believe for this limitless favor. That's what a 0:16:25.920 --> 0:16:29.600 gentleman did by the name of Truet Kathy. In nineteen 0:16:29.680 --> 0:16:33.200 forty six, he and his brother opened a small restaurant 0:16:33.240 --> 0:16:38.200 in Atlanta. He noticed how everybody loved hamburgers. Hamburgers were 0:16:38.240 --> 0:16:41.800 the rage. One day, God gave him an idea. He thought, 0:16:41.800 --> 0:16:45.600 if everyone likes hamburger so much, I wonder how they 0:16:45.640 --> 0:16:48.680 would like a chicken burger. So instead of putting the 0:16:48.680 --> 0:16:52.320 beef in there, he put chicken in there. Nineteen sixty 0:16:52.360 --> 0:16:55.480 seven he opened up his first fast food restaurant. 0:16:55.800 --> 0:16:59.760 He called it Chick fil A. God bless him. It grew. 0:17:00.080 --> 0:17:03.320 Today there are nearly fourteen hundred Chick fil Ais in 0:17:03.440 --> 0:17:07.240 thirty seven states. True at Kathy and his family, they 0:17:07.320 --> 0:17:10.280 give millions of dollars to help people around the world. 0:17:11.040 --> 0:17:14.080 That's just one idea that God gave him, just a 0:17:14.080 --> 0:17:18.280 little insight. It says in Proverbs that God will give 0:17:18.320 --> 0:17:20.600 his people witty inventions. 0:17:21.240 --> 0:17:21.840 Why don't you. 0:17:21.800 --> 0:17:26.600 Start believing for new ideas, new concepts, new discoveries. 0:17:27.119 --> 0:17:28.200 God has all. 0:17:28.080 --> 0:17:31.760 Kinds of inventions just waiting to be released. He has 0:17:31.880 --> 0:17:36.360 businesses just waiting to entrust people with books just waiting 0:17:36.359 --> 0:17:40.879 to be written. New technology, new procedures, new medicines. We 0:17:40.880 --> 0:17:45.600 should pray God give me unusual creativity. God helped me 0:17:45.640 --> 0:17:47.560 to be able to see into the future. 0:17:47.920 --> 0:17:51.800 Inventions to bring you honor. The scripture says, it is 0:17:52.000 --> 0:17:55.240 God who gives you the power to get well. 0:17:55.400 --> 0:17:58.120 God can give you one idea that if you will 0:17:58.119 --> 0:18:00.720 act on it, it will change the course your family. 0:18:01.800 --> 0:18:04.320 You may not have it all figured out that's okay. 0:18:04.560 --> 0:18:07.520 God does you do your part and God will do 0:18:07.600 --> 0:18:11.040 his part. I want you to start believing that God 0:18:11.200 --> 0:18:14.959 is going to do something great through you. God uses 0:18:15.240 --> 0:18:20.520 ordinary people to do extraordinary things. If you have a desire, 0:18:20.680 --> 0:18:24.560 like true at Kathy, to not only use your resources 0:18:24.560 --> 0:18:27.399 to bless your family, but to make a difference in 0:18:27.440 --> 0:18:30.040 the world around you, then there's no limit to what 0:18:30.119 --> 0:18:33.760 God will do. And in the coming days, there's going 0:18:33.800 --> 0:18:37.359 to be a transfer of wealth. There's going to be 0:18:37.440 --> 0:18:42.080 a major shifting in finances and in large amounts of resources. 0:18:42.560 --> 0:18:45.360 And some of you think this could never happen for you. 0:18:45.359 --> 0:18:47.119 You don't come from the right family, you don't have 0:18:47.160 --> 0:18:50.679 the right connections. It seems very unlikely. But let me 0:18:50.720 --> 0:18:54.680 remind you you have been faithful. You have honored God 0:18:54.720 --> 0:18:58.159 with your life. You have given, you have served, you 0:18:58.200 --> 0:19:01.760 have helped others. All those seeds that you've sown down 0:19:01.800 --> 0:19:06.800 through the years did not go unnoticed. Every act of kindness, 0:19:07.240 --> 0:19:11.680 every gift, every offering, every word of encouragement. God has 0:19:11.760 --> 0:19:15.880 kept the records. Those seeds that you've sown have taken root, 0:19:16.400 --> 0:19:20.199 they've grown, they've developed. Now it's time for you to 0:19:20.280 --> 0:19:24.119 reap a harvest off of your years of faithfulness. Where's 0:19:24.160 --> 0:19:26.399 it going to come from? How's it going to happen? 0:19:27.080 --> 0:19:32.200 Proverbs thirteen twenty two. The wealth of the ungodly will 0:19:32.240 --> 0:19:36.080 eventually find its way into the hands of the righteous, 0:19:36.320 --> 0:19:40.320 for whom it has been laid up for. I love 0:19:40.400 --> 0:19:43.920 that it's been laid up for you. As long as 0:19:43.960 --> 0:19:48.440 you stay in faith, God has promised the abundance, the promotion, 0:19:48.680 --> 0:19:52.320 the funds that already have your name on it, They're 0:19:52.359 --> 0:19:57.040 eventually going to be transferred over. Just imagine, here's someone 0:19:57.280 --> 0:19:59.840 that doesn't honor God. They don't live a life of 0:19:59.840 --> 0:20:02.920 it integrity, They don't think about others. God is saying, 0:20:03.280 --> 0:20:06.120 I'll let them make the money. I'll let them earn 0:20:06.160 --> 0:20:08.520 the funds, but then I'll turn it over to you. 0:20:08.800 --> 0:20:13.040 I'll deposit it into your accounts. Well, you say, Joel, 0:20:13.080 --> 0:20:15.080 this sounds kind of far out today. 0:20:15.480 --> 0:20:18.160 Yeah, but we serve a far out God. 0:20:18.600 --> 0:20:21.560 That's why we should get up every day expecting far 0:20:21.800 --> 0:20:22.879 and beyond favor. 0:20:24.160 --> 0:20:26.240 Don't go around thinking, oh man, it's gonna be a 0:20:26.320 --> 0:20:26.800 rough year. 0:20:27.520 --> 0:20:30.920 Business is slow, prices are high. This will probably be 0:20:31.000 --> 0:20:33.720 the year I go under Joel. Now listen, God said 0:20:34.040 --> 0:20:38.479 he will crown the year with a bountiful harvest. Noice, 0:20:38.520 --> 0:20:41.040 not I'll barely get by harvest. Not to just let 0:20:41.080 --> 0:20:45.440 me survive harvest, but an overflow harvest. Hard attitude should 0:20:45.520 --> 0:20:48.560 be this is gonna be a great year. I can 0:20:48.640 --> 0:20:54.600 already sense it. Favor is coming my way. Blessings, good ideas, promotion, 0:20:55.160 --> 0:20:57.919 they already have my name on it, and I know 0:20:58.000 --> 0:21:01.800 as long as I stay faithful, eventually they're gonna find 0:21:01.840 --> 0:21:05.120 their way into my hands. That's what it means when 0:21:05.119 --> 0:21:08.560 the scripture says God's blessings will chase you down and 0:21:08.600 --> 0:21:11.080 overtake you those blessings. 0:21:11.520 --> 0:21:12.840 Let me make it more practical. 0:21:13.119 --> 0:21:17.240 The funds to accomplish your God given dreams. Sooner or later, 0:21:17.520 --> 0:21:22.760 they're gonna catch up to you unexpectedly. A promotion, an idea, 0:21:23.240 --> 0:21:28.159 and invention, and inheritance, a new business, a supernatural contract. 0:21:28.640 --> 0:21:32.120 God is going to get into your hands everything that. 0:21:32.040 --> 0:21:32.720 Belongs to you. 0:21:33.600 --> 0:21:37.440 The wealth of the ungodly has been laid up for 0:21:37.560 --> 0:21:38.120 the godly. 0:21:39.040 --> 0:21:39.720 Here's the key. 0:21:40.840 --> 0:21:45.439 Make sure you're in the second group. Make sure you 0:21:45.560 --> 0:21:49.080 are honoring God with your life. Keep your heart pure. 0:21:49.920 --> 0:21:53.320 Let go of any weights or any sins that are 0:21:53.320 --> 0:21:57.199 holding you back. I found most of the time, it's 0:21:57.320 --> 0:21:59.639 not the big things that keep us from God's best. 0:22:00.040 --> 0:22:01.280 It's just the small things. 0:22:01.920 --> 0:22:04.360 If you're going to get in on this transfer, you've 0:22:04.359 --> 0:22:07.680 got to be a person of excellence and integrity. When 0:22:07.680 --> 0:22:10.360 you go to work, get there on time and give 0:22:10.359 --> 0:22:13.840 it one hundred percent. Treat the people in your life 0:22:14.119 --> 0:22:17.920 with respect and kindness, and don't just look out for yourself. 0:22:18.200 --> 0:22:21.600 Always be a blessing to somebody else. If you'll live 0:22:21.640 --> 0:22:24.639 a life like this, a life that pleases God, he 0:22:24.800 --> 0:22:29.760 promises honor, wealth, and abundance are coming your way. I 0:22:29.840 --> 0:22:34.320 love to meditate on that. Right now, somewhere, increase is 0:22:34.320 --> 0:22:37.040 looking for me. I don't know about you, but I've 0:22:37.040 --> 0:22:40.600 got big dreams. I need this far and beyond favor. 0:22:41.440 --> 0:22:45.440 Victoria and I have dreams of building orphanages and children's 0:22:45.440 --> 0:22:48.639 home feeding hungry people. We've already committed to our first 0:22:48.640 --> 0:22:51.719 girl's home. We're in the ground stages of that. This 0:22:51.880 --> 0:22:54.560 costs millions and millions of dollars. But you know what, 0:22:54.600 --> 0:22:57.000 I'm not the least bit worried. I know there are 0:22:57.080 --> 0:23:00.760 funds that are out there that already have mine on it. 0:23:00.760 --> 0:23:03.080 It's just a matter of time before they show up. 0:23:04.040 --> 0:23:07.760 The wealth of the ungodly is going to help furnish 0:23:07.800 --> 0:23:11.440 the dreams of the godly. You need to have big goals. 0:23:11.960 --> 0:23:15.800 We serve a big God. He has limitless favor. That 0:23:15.960 --> 0:23:19.160 means not just enough for me or you. He has 0:23:19.240 --> 0:23:23.760 favor promotion funds for every one of his children. For 0:23:23.880 --> 0:23:27.560 some people in Africa, a new level of increase is 0:23:27.600 --> 0:23:30.240 to have clean drinking water or to own their own 0:23:30.320 --> 0:23:33.000 water well. For others, it's to pay off a house, 0:23:33.480 --> 0:23:37.160 or to have funds to expand a business venture. Whatever 0:23:37.200 --> 0:23:40.840 your dreams are, know this God wants to do more. 0:23:41.440 --> 0:23:45.359 He's gonna supersize anything you're thinking about. You're not going 0:23:45.440 --> 0:23:48.200 to just accomplish what's in your heart. God is gonna 0:23:48.240 --> 0:23:52.639 help you supersede anything you've ever imagined. You're gonna be 0:23:52.680 --> 0:23:54.520 amazed at where you end up. 0:23:55.000 --> 0:23:55.480 You don't know. 0:23:55.560 --> 0:23:58.560 God may bless you so much. Just your tithe could 0:23:58.640 --> 0:24:02.000 underwrite our whole budget. God is going to unleash a 0:24:02.080 --> 0:24:06.159 new wave of funds upon his children. The next time 0:24:06.760 --> 0:24:11.959 you see somebody that's extremely successful, they epitomize wealth and abundance, 0:24:12.359 --> 0:24:14.720 yet they don't have anything to do with the things 0:24:14.720 --> 0:24:17.320 of God. You can just think to yourself, you know 0:24:17.359 --> 0:24:20.639 what they may be working for me. They may be 0:24:20.720 --> 0:24:24.200 earning funds with my name on it. In the scripture, 0:24:24.320 --> 0:24:28.000 God is called the Lord of the Sabboth. That means 0:24:28.000 --> 0:24:31.320 the God who puts his armor on and goes to 0:24:31.440 --> 0:24:36.520 war against those who hold his treasure from his purposes. 0:24:37.240 --> 0:24:40.040 In other words, just imagine God putting his armor on 0:24:40.359 --> 0:24:42.919 and go into the forces of darkness and saying, Okay, 0:24:43.080 --> 0:24:44.360 I'll take those funds. 0:24:44.480 --> 0:24:47.000 I need them for my children. I'll take these. 0:24:46.800 --> 0:24:51.600 Businesses, these ideas, these contracts. They have my children's name 0:24:51.640 --> 0:24:55.040 on it. Friends, God is fighting your battles for you. 0:24:55.600 --> 0:25:00.399 He has immeasurable favor come in your way. This is 0:25:00.400 --> 0:25:03.040 not the time to get discouraged. It's not the time 0:25:03.080 --> 0:25:04.880 to say just help me to make it through God 0:25:04.960 --> 0:25:07.959 the next two years. Now, this is the time to say, God, 0:25:08.080 --> 0:25:11.240 I know you have honor and wealth laid up for me, 0:25:11.720 --> 0:25:14.520 So I just want to thank you that the surpassing 0:25:14.720 --> 0:25:18.879 greatness of your favor is coming my way. It says 0:25:18.880 --> 0:25:22.040 in Isaiah that God will give us the hidden riches 0:25:22.520 --> 0:25:26.720 found in secret places. Think about God knows where all 0:25:26.760 --> 0:25:30.240 the hidden riches are. He knows where all the oil is, 0:25:30.680 --> 0:25:33.080 the minerals, the gold, the diamonds. 0:25:33.119 --> 0:25:36.199 He's the one that put them there. I know this couple. 0:25:36.400 --> 0:25:40.440 They recently discovered that they have valuable minerals on their property. 0:25:41.080 --> 0:25:43.800 This company is not only paying them to drill, but 0:25:43.800 --> 0:25:45.840 they're getting ninety percent of the profits. 0:25:46.080 --> 0:25:47.680 I mean, it's like they won the lottery. 0:25:48.080 --> 0:25:51.920 And what's so interesting is that same company had surveyed 0:25:51.920 --> 0:25:54.840 the land some ten years ago, but there was no 0:25:54.960 --> 0:25:58.560 sign of any oil before that couple moved in. But 0:25:58.640 --> 0:26:01.320 this geologist said he had a desire to go back 0:26:01.359 --> 0:26:03.600 and check it again, and this time there was a 0:26:03.720 --> 0:26:07.080 little indication that there might be oil on the property. 0:26:07.400 --> 0:26:09.679 They gave them the rights to drill. Sure enough, they 0:26:09.680 --> 0:26:13.120 struck oil. It looks like there's no end in sight. Well, 0:26:13.160 --> 0:26:15.800 what was it that caused that oil to all the 0:26:15.960 --> 0:26:19.399 sudden show up once that young couple moved in. What 0:26:19.600 --> 0:26:21.600 was it that caused the geologist to want to go 0:26:21.640 --> 0:26:23.080 back and survey the property. 0:26:23.359 --> 0:26:25.080 That was Almighty God. 0:26:25.320 --> 0:26:30.440 Uncovering the hidden riches found in secret places. You don't 0:26:30.480 --> 0:26:33.560 know what you're sitting on, you don't know where God 0:26:33.640 --> 0:26:34.320 is leading you. 0:26:34.760 --> 0:26:37.560 He has hidden treasures for every one of his children. 0:26:38.160 --> 0:26:40.720 I read about a twenty nine year old young man 0:26:41.040 --> 0:26:42.480 plays minor league baseball. 0:26:42.920 --> 0:26:43.840 Three years ago. 0:26:44.480 --> 0:26:47.359 He bought a fifty acre tract of land from his 0:26:47.480 --> 0:26:50.560 great aunt just so she would have the funds to 0:26:50.640 --> 0:26:52.480 move into a senior citizen's home. 0:26:52.920 --> 0:26:53.919 He paid fifty. 0:26:53.680 --> 0:26:56.800 Thousand dollars for the property thousand dollars an acre. It 0:26:56.880 --> 0:26:59.680 wasn't really worth that much. He didn't really need the 0:26:59.680 --> 0:27:02.760 pro He just did it as an act of kindness 0:27:02.800 --> 0:27:06.439 toward his aunt. One day, he was out clearing a 0:27:06.440 --> 0:27:09.000 couple of acres, digging around on the property, and he 0:27:09.119 --> 0:27:13.080 kept hitting this flat stone every where he went. Right 0:27:13.160 --> 0:27:16.880 under the surface, there was this unusual looking rock. Long 0:27:16.920 --> 0:27:20.399 story short. He called an expert out. They discovered that 0:27:20.520 --> 0:27:25.120 his property is full of something called ghoshen stone. It's 0:27:25.119 --> 0:27:28.879 some of the most beautiful and most sought after landscaping 0:27:28.920 --> 0:27:32.639 stone around. It sells for one hundred dollars a ton. 0:27:33.280 --> 0:27:36.679 They estimate that he has twenty four million tons on 0:27:36.760 --> 0:27:39.560 his property. If you calculate it out, it comes to 0:27:39.640 --> 0:27:41.399 ride over two billion. 0:27:41.040 --> 0:27:42.879 Dollars worth of stone. 0:27:43.119 --> 0:27:46.320 You think about how it all started, when he did 0:27:46.400 --> 0:27:50.440 something good for somebody else. When you live a life 0:27:50.480 --> 0:27:53.719 to give, and you go around sowing seeds of kindness. 0:27:54.240 --> 0:27:57.399 You never know what kind of harvest you're going to reap. No, 0:27:57.600 --> 0:28:01.119 you may not strike oil, you may not find expensive 0:28:01.200 --> 0:28:02.280 rock on your property. 0:28:02.640 --> 0:28:04.240 But God can give. 0:28:04.080 --> 0:28:06.880 You one idea that can lead to all kinds of funds. 0:28:07.160 --> 0:28:09.000 God can cause you to be at the right place 0:28:09.119 --> 0:28:11.639 at the right time. He can bring talent out of 0:28:11.680 --> 0:28:14.320 you that you didn't even know you had. I want 0:28:14.359 --> 0:28:17.600 you to start believing for the fullness of this blessing. 0:28:17.920 --> 0:28:20.840 No matter where you are, God wants you to rise higher. 0:28:21.280 --> 0:28:23.760 He wants you to be more blessed so you can 0:28:23.800 --> 0:28:26.680 be a bigger blessing. Will you get a vision for it? 0:28:27.200 --> 0:28:29.679 Will you shake off or barely get by? Let me 0:28:29.760 --> 0:28:33.800 just survive mentality. Now, you go out each day knowing 0:28:33.840 --> 0:28:36.639 that God's going to show you the surpassing greatness of 0:28:36.680 --> 0:28:40.800 his favor. Remember, the wealth of the ungodly has already 0:28:40.840 --> 0:28:43.080 been laid up for you. It's just a matter of 0:28:43.120 --> 0:28:46.240 time before it finds its way into your hands. And 0:28:46.280 --> 0:28:48.640 if you'll keep your faith stirred up this year and 0:28:48.920 --> 0:28:51.640 believe for far and beyond favor, let me just declare 0:28:51.640 --> 0:28:52.040 it again. 0:28:52.480 --> 0:28:55.120 God is going to amaze you with his goodness. 0:28:55.520 --> 0:28:58.640 What you've seen in the past will pale in comparison 0:28:58.680 --> 0:29:00.600 to what God's going to do in the future. He 0:29:00.720 --> 0:29:04.200 is going to unleash explosive blessings to where suddenly you 0:29:04.280 --> 0:29:07.840 find yourself further than you even imagined. And instead of 0:29:07.920 --> 0:29:11.200 just dreaming your dreams, you'll be living your dreams, walking 0:29:11.240 --> 0:29:13.880 in the fullness of the blessing. When you look back, 0:29:14.000 --> 0:29:16.520 all you'll be able to say is Wow, look what 0:29:16.600 --> 0:29:18.080 the Lord has done for me. 0:29:18.280 --> 0:29:18.640 Amen. 0:29:18.880 --> 0:29:20.800 Can you give the Lord a shot of praise today? 0:29:23.240 --> 0:29:26.200 We never like to close our broadcast without giving you 0:29:26.240 --> 0:29:29.000 an opportunity to make Jesus the Lord of your life. 0:29:29.320 --> 0:29:30.240 Would you pray with me? 0:29:30.840 --> 0:29:36.000 Just say, Lord, Jesus, I repent of my sins, Come 0:29:36.000 --> 0:29:40.840 into my heart.
