These are the finest 0:01:56.840 --> 0:01:59.560 people in all of Houston, Texas right here at Lakewood, 0:01:59.560 --> 0:02:01.280 but come on out whenever you can. 0:02:01.520 --> 0:02:02.440 Thanks for tuning in. 0:02:02.840 --> 0:02:04.880 I like to start with something funny, and I heard 0:02:04.920 --> 0:02:08.400 about this Baptist man named Bill. He liked to sneak 0:02:08.440 --> 0:02:11.480 out to the horse races and bet. One day, after 0:02:11.560 --> 0:02:14.480 losing almost all of his money, he saw a Catholic 0:02:14.560 --> 0:02:17.560 priest step out onto the tracks and bless a horse. 0:02:18.040 --> 0:02:21.240 Sure enough, that horse one first place. The next race 0:02:21.440 --> 0:02:25.280 he blessed another horse. That horse won again. Seeing this, 0:02:25.320 --> 0:02:28.200 Bill went down to the atm machine took out all 0:02:28.240 --> 0:02:31.120 of his money. This time he saw the priest not 0:02:31.280 --> 0:02:34.239 just touch the horse's forehead, but his eyes, his ears, 0:02:34.280 --> 0:02:37.280 and all of his legs. Feeling confident, he bet all 0:02:37.320 --> 0:02:39.960 of his money. But on the middle of that race, 0:02:40.120 --> 0:02:41.440 the horse fell down dead. 0:02:42.280 --> 0:02:43.120 He couldn't believe it. 0:02:43.160 --> 0:02:44.960 He said to the priest, what in the world happened? 0:02:45.360 --> 0:02:48.320 He said, that's the problem with you Protestants. You don't 0:02:48.360 --> 0:02:51.120 know the difference between a blessing and the last. Rites 0:02:53.080 --> 0:02:55.440 say it like you mean it. This is my Bible. 0:02:55.760 --> 0:02:58.040 I am what it says I am. I have what 0:02:58.120 --> 0:03:00.520 it says I have. I can do what it says 0:03:00.560 --> 0:03:03.200 I can do. Today I will be taught the word 0:03:03.240 --> 0:03:07.320 of God. I boldly confess. My mind is alert, my 0:03:07.440 --> 0:03:11.640 heart is receptive. I will never be the same in Jesus' name, 0:03:12.120 --> 0:03:15.360 God bless you. I want to talk to you today 0:03:15.400 --> 0:03:20.120 about your set time for favor. In the Old Testament, 0:03:20.360 --> 0:03:23.560 the Israelites had several different feasts that they had to 0:03:23.639 --> 0:03:29.120 observe each year. These feasts, like Passover the feast of Pentecost, 0:03:29.520 --> 0:03:32.680 were at set times based on the cycle of the 0:03:32.720 --> 0:03:37.480 moon and certain other criteria. The times had been ordained 0:03:37.520 --> 0:03:42.040 by God and couldn't be changed. These were special times 0:03:42.200 --> 0:03:44.880 that God had set aside to bless his people. 0:03:45.480 --> 0:03:47.760 He'd already established. 0:03:47.240 --> 0:03:50.480 When to show them favor, and just like with them, 0:03:50.800 --> 0:03:54.880 there are set times God has already ordained to show 0:03:54.920 --> 0:03:55.880 out in your life. 0:03:56.720 --> 0:03:57.840 We can all look. 0:03:57.640 --> 0:04:00.640 Back and see these times where we go break that 0:04:00.680 --> 0:04:01.560 we didn't deserve. 0:04:02.160 --> 0:04:03.400 Things fell into place. 0:04:03.960 --> 0:04:08.360 Maybe your career took off after years of being routine average, 0:04:08.600 --> 0:04:11.840 you came into a season of growth, a season of increase, 0:04:12.080 --> 0:04:13.200 a season of blessing. 0:04:13.400 --> 0:04:16.240 What was that a set time of favor? 0:04:17.200 --> 0:04:19.960 I talked to a man recently. For eight years he's 0:04:19.960 --> 0:04:23.320 had back pain. He heard it playing football in college. 0:04:23.920 --> 0:04:28.320 He'd had surgery, gone through treatment, rehab, taking pain pills. 0:04:28.480 --> 0:04:32.000 Nothing seemed to help. He'd already decided he'd have to 0:04:32.040 --> 0:04:33.120 live with that pain. 0:04:32.960 --> 0:04:35.720 The rest of his life. But about six. 0:04:35.480 --> 0:04:39.240 Months ago, out of the blue, things started getting better 0:04:39.360 --> 0:04:42.000 and better. He said, Joel, I don't know what happened. 0:04:42.360 --> 0:04:45.760 The doctors can't explain it. But today I'm totally free 0:04:45.800 --> 0:04:49.520 from this pain. Like the Israelites, he came. 0:04:49.320 --> 0:04:51.600 In to one of his set times. 0:04:52.160 --> 0:04:55.839 In Psalms, it talks about how God's favor surrounds us 0:04:55.920 --> 0:04:56.560 like a shield. 0:04:57.120 --> 0:05:00.320 It doesn't come and go. Favor is always with us. 0:05:00.760 --> 0:05:05.000 But there are set times where God's favor will show out. 0:05:05.880 --> 0:05:09.159 Set times where God will thrust you from the background 0:05:09.200 --> 0:05:14.120 to the foreground. Set times where God will accelerate your dreams, 0:05:14.520 --> 0:05:18.240 make things happen faster than you thought. Set times like 0:05:18.279 --> 0:05:21.320 my friend, when you'll get well even though. 0:05:21.120 --> 0:05:23.760 The report says it's not going to happen, when a. 0:05:23.760 --> 0:05:28.279 Problem will unexpectedly turn around even though it looked impossible. 0:05:29.080 --> 0:05:30.120 You need to get ready. 0:05:30.400 --> 0:05:33.640 I believe you've come in to one of your set 0:05:33.680 --> 0:05:38.360 times of favor. Maybe you've been struggling. Everything's been uphill 0:05:38.800 --> 0:05:41.360 You're going to see an anointing of ease. 0:05:41.920 --> 0:05:43.400 God is going before you. 0:05:43.680 --> 0:05:46.880 He's going to cause things to fall into place, at work, 0:05:46.960 --> 0:05:50.599 You've been doing your best, working hard, but not getting 0:05:50.600 --> 0:05:53.520 the credit you deserve. People play in politics. 0:05:53.720 --> 0:05:54.360 Don't worry. 0:05:54.720 --> 0:05:57.560 In this set time, God is going to promote you. 0:05:57.920 --> 0:05:59.600 He's going to push you up. He's going to set 0:05:59.640 --> 0:06:03.960 you on. Or perhaps you've been through some relationships that 0:06:04.000 --> 0:06:07.680 didn't work out, and now you think you'll always be lonely. Now, 0:06:07.839 --> 0:06:11.480 in this set time, God is bringing a divine connection 0:06:12.040 --> 0:06:15.400 somebody better than you have imagined. They're already ordained to 0:06:15.480 --> 0:06:18.360 come across your path. Now you may not see how 0:06:18.400 --> 0:06:21.200 this is going to happen. Your mind will tell you 0:06:21.200 --> 0:06:23.880 you'll never get well, never meet the right person, never 0:06:23.920 --> 0:06:24.960 accomplished that dream. 0:06:25.320 --> 0:06:26.760 Don't believe those lies. 0:06:27.160 --> 0:06:32.320 The creator of the universe has already established your set times. 0:06:32.920 --> 0:06:36.359 His power is greater than any force that's trying to 0:06:36.360 --> 0:06:40.040 come against you. Now do your part. Get in agreement 0:06:40.080 --> 0:06:43.200 with God. Lord, I believe this is my set time 0:06:43.240 --> 0:06:46.600 for favor. The medical report may not look good. 0:06:46.600 --> 0:06:49.000 But I believe it's my set time to get well. 0:06:49.560 --> 0:06:52.040 My dream looks like it's gonna take years, But Lord, 0:06:52.040 --> 0:06:54.239 I want to thank you that it's my set time 0:06:54.279 --> 0:06:58.279 for acceleration. Now you may have tried things in the past, 0:06:58.279 --> 0:07:02.200 but it didn't work out. The business wasn't successful, the 0:07:02.240 --> 0:07:05.000 loan didn't go through, the diet didn't work. 0:07:05.680 --> 0:07:10.280 Now you're thinking I just threw that one in. You 0:07:10.400 --> 0:07:12.720 need to try it again. This is a new season. 0:07:13.080 --> 0:07:15.400 A man in the lobby told me the other day 0:07:15.480 --> 0:07:18.320 how he had a dream to start his own business 0:07:18.360 --> 0:07:19.640 and he got it going. 0:07:19.840 --> 0:07:20.920 Everything was fine. 0:07:20.960 --> 0:07:24.760 He was so excited, but he hit a series of setbacks. 0:07:25.200 --> 0:07:28.480 Unfortunately it didn't make it. He thought he was done, 0:07:28.600 --> 0:07:31.160 that it would never happen. No, it just wasn't the 0:07:31.240 --> 0:07:34.440 right time. Don't give up on what God promised. 0:07:34.480 --> 0:07:37.560 You. Don't let that dream die stillborn. 0:07:38.080 --> 0:07:40.960 It may not have happened in the past, but you've 0:07:41.000 --> 0:07:45.560 come into a set time. God has favor waiting for you, 0:07:46.120 --> 0:07:49.800 ideas waiting for you, the right people waiting for you. 0:07:50.000 --> 0:07:50.680 Try it again. 0:07:51.400 --> 0:07:54.720 The scripture says a good man falls seven times, but 0:07:54.800 --> 0:07:58.440 the Lord raises him back up. The loan didn't go through, 0:07:59.000 --> 0:08:00.760 you didn't qualify for that new house. 0:08:00.920 --> 0:08:01.480 Try again. 0:08:02.120 --> 0:08:05.600 You're in a set time of favor. You tried to 0:08:05.600 --> 0:08:07.560 lose the weight, tried to get back in shape. It 0:08:07.560 --> 0:08:11.120 didn't work out. Try it again. God is breathing in 0:08:11.200 --> 0:08:15.800 your life in a new way. He's giving you ability, determination, 0:08:16.000 --> 0:08:19.400 strength to do what you couldn't do before now all 0:08:19.480 --> 0:08:22.320 through the day, especially in the tough times. Lord, I 0:08:22.320 --> 0:08:25.000 want to thank you that it's my set time for favor. 0:08:25.520 --> 0:08:28.040 Thank you that you're helping me do what I could 0:08:28.040 --> 0:08:29.040 not do on my own. 0:08:29.880 --> 0:08:30.760 Saw one O two. 0:08:31.360 --> 0:08:35.040 This man that was having an incredibly difficult time begin 0:08:35.160 --> 0:08:39.000 to pray. He went into great detail to list all 0:08:39.160 --> 0:08:43.000 of his troubles. He said, God, I'm sick, I'm down 0:08:43.040 --> 0:08:46.600 to skin and bones. I can't sleep at night. I've 0:08:46.640 --> 0:08:50.680 lost all of my income, I'm lonely. My friends have 0:08:50.800 --> 0:08:54.920 left me. My enemies all day long taunt me. Now 0:08:55.000 --> 0:08:59.400 I'm just sitting among the ashes. For eleven verses, he 0:08:59.480 --> 0:09:02.679 goes on on and on, telling how miserable his life is, 0:09:03.040 --> 0:09:05.360 how he feels overwhelmed by his trouble. 0:09:05.679 --> 0:09:07.840 Just reading it can make you feel depressed. 0:09:08.880 --> 0:09:11.600 Just when you think he's about to give up, just 0:09:11.720 --> 0:09:15.160 ready to throw in the towel, he said in verse twelve, 0:09:15.720 --> 0:09:18.920 But you, o Lord, are still on the throne, for 0:09:19.080 --> 0:09:23.520 you will arise and have mercy on Zion for the 0:09:23.559 --> 0:09:27.720 time to favor her. Yes, the set time has come. 0:09:28.720 --> 0:09:32.000 Zion is the church. You can put your name in 0:09:32.120 --> 0:09:35.760 place of Zion. For you will arise and have mercy 0:09:35.880 --> 0:09:38.600 on Linda for the time to favor her. 0:09:38.960 --> 0:09:40.520 Yes, the set time has come. 0:09:41.360 --> 0:09:44.200 You will arise and have mercy on those people at 0:09:44.280 --> 0:09:46.760 Lakewood for the time to favor them. 0:09:47.200 --> 0:09:49.080 Yes, the set time has come. 0:09:50.400 --> 0:09:53.360 In the midst of his sad song, in the midst 0:09:53.400 --> 0:09:57.400 of listing all of his difficulties, deep down, he knew 0:09:57.720 --> 0:10:00.120 there was a set time of favor. 0:09:59.800 --> 0:10:00.679 In his future. 0:10:01.520 --> 0:10:04.760 At that point, the Israelites had been through seventy years 0:10:04.800 --> 0:10:08.880 of hardships, all kinds of struggling. God said, don't worry. 0:10:09.120 --> 0:10:12.079 Things are about to change. You've come in to your 0:10:12.200 --> 0:10:17.120 set time of favor. The scripture says, God will arise 0:10:17.559 --> 0:10:21.840 and have mercy in this set time. God will step 0:10:21.920 --> 0:10:26.200 in against your enemies. You won't have to fight those battles. 0:10:26.400 --> 0:10:30.800 The most High will arise, and when he arises, enemies 0:10:30.800 --> 0:10:34.840 will be scattered. When he arises, sicknesses will be defeated, 0:10:35.360 --> 0:10:39.480 addictions will be broken, lacks, struggle, poverty will come to 0:10:39.520 --> 0:10:43.680 an end. He's going before you, clearing the path, pushing 0:10:43.800 --> 0:10:47.320 back the forces of darkness, making a way where you 0:10:47.360 --> 0:10:52.000 could not go before. In this set time, the enemies 0:10:52.040 --> 0:10:54.600 you've seen in the past you will see no more. 0:10:55.480 --> 0:11:00.000 The addictions, bad habits, things you haven't been able to overcome. 0:11:00.559 --> 0:11:03.800 This is a new day. God is arising. 0:11:04.400 --> 0:11:08.360 It's your set time for freedom, set time for wholeness. 0:11:09.080 --> 0:11:12.760 Those obstacles in your career can't seem to get the break, 0:11:12.760 --> 0:11:14.400 you knee, can't get over the hump. 0:11:14.800 --> 0:11:16.240 Things are about to change. 0:11:16.559 --> 0:11:20.400 God is fighting your battles, causing you to stand out, 0:11:20.800 --> 0:11:25.280 bringing you from obscurity to notoriety. This is a set 0:11:25.400 --> 0:11:28.520 time for God to thrust you where you could not 0:11:28.640 --> 0:11:29.400 go on your own. 0:11:30.120 --> 0:11:32.959 I'm challenging you. Don't talk yourself out of it. 0:11:33.920 --> 0:11:36.800 You may feel like you're in verse one through eleven 0:11:36.920 --> 0:11:39.200 right now. 0:11:38.200 --> 0:11:38.800 Like that man. 0:11:38.840 --> 0:11:41.480 You can come up with good reasons why you won't 0:11:41.520 --> 0:11:44.920 get well, why you won't be successful. Joel, I've got 0:11:44.920 --> 0:11:47.840 a lot of powerful people coming against me. I have 0:11:47.920 --> 0:11:50.760 this medical condition that looks permanent. Or I don't have 0:11:50.800 --> 0:11:54.400 the experience, the resources, the connections to really be successful. 0:11:54.800 --> 0:11:59.120 That may all be true, But don't stop in verse eleven. 0:11:59.520 --> 0:12:01.640 Come on down to twelve and thirteen. 0:12:02.160 --> 0:12:04.880 Dare to say, but you, o, Lord, are still on 0:12:04.920 --> 0:12:08.200 the throne. You have set this time to favor me. 0:12:09.640 --> 0:12:13.520 What God lifts up, no person can push down what 0:12:13.559 --> 0:12:19.119 God breathes life into. Sickness cannot take away what God blesses. 0:12:19.400 --> 0:12:23.600 All the forces of darkness cannot curse. Our attitude should 0:12:23.640 --> 0:12:28.320 be yes. This obstacle looks big, this sickness, this legal situation. 0:12:28.679 --> 0:12:29.840 But I know a secret. 0:12:30.080 --> 0:12:33.080 God is still on the throne and He is set 0:12:33.120 --> 0:12:36.040 this time for me to overcome. This is my set 0:12:36.120 --> 0:12:39.679 time to break through. This is my set time. 0:12:39.640 --> 0:12:43.480 To live in victory. It says, God will arise. 0:12:43.760 --> 0:12:46.600 Let me tell you when God gets up, the enemy trembles, 0:12:47.280 --> 0:12:50.640 and in your set time, God is not going to 0:12:50.679 --> 0:12:54.640 sit idly by. And yes, we all have seasons of 0:12:54.720 --> 0:12:58.720 testing and trials where we have to stand strong prove 0:12:58.840 --> 0:13:01.720 to God that will be faith. But in this set 0:13:01.800 --> 0:13:05.280 time of favor, that's when God gets up and says, okay, 0:13:05.320 --> 0:13:06.080 that's enough. 0:13:06.000 --> 0:13:07.040 Let me go to work. 0:13:07.360 --> 0:13:09.880 He'll put a stop to what's trying to stop you. 0:13:10.240 --> 0:13:13.480 He said, the trap the enemy set for you, they 0:13:13.520 --> 0:13:17.560 will fall in themselves. He said, no weapon formed against 0:13:17.640 --> 0:13:21.800 you will ever prosper. Don't be intimidated. You're not weak, 0:13:22.120 --> 0:13:26.080 You're not lacking the most high. God has risen in 0:13:26.160 --> 0:13:26.880 your behalf. 0:13:27.360 --> 0:13:30.520 He's got your back, he's got your cupboard. He's saying, 0:13:30.640 --> 0:13:32.160 it's your set time for favor. 0:13:32.520 --> 0:13:36.000 You're set time for healing, your set time for acceleration. 0:13:36.920 --> 0:13:39.240 Now you have to let this seed take root. 0:13:39.280 --> 0:13:40.360 On the inside. 0:13:40.520 --> 0:13:42.880 It's easy to think, well, that's a good message today, 0:13:43.160 --> 0:13:45.880 I enjoyed that, and two hours later you don't really 0:13:45.920 --> 0:13:48.040 remember it. It's not going to be effective like that 0:13:48.440 --> 0:13:49.439 all through the week. 0:13:49.640 --> 0:13:51.280 You need to have this expectancy. 0:13:51.480 --> 0:13:54.360 Lord, thank you that it's my set time for favor. 0:13:54.679 --> 0:13:57.120 That you're giving me power to do what I could 0:13:57.120 --> 0:13:59.920 not do before. Lord, thank you that you're causing me 0:14:00.120 --> 0:14:03.360 to stand out, drawing the right people to me. That 0:14:03.480 --> 0:14:08.400 your blessings favor is overtaking me. Well, Joel, I believe 0:14:08.480 --> 0:14:11.680 maybe one day that'll happen for me. Now I'm asking 0:14:11.720 --> 0:14:15.480 you to come over into the now. Today is your 0:14:15.520 --> 0:14:18.880 set time for favor, not in three months, not six 0:14:18.960 --> 0:14:19.760 years from now. 0:14:20.360 --> 0:14:23.600 God said the time to favor you has come. 0:14:24.280 --> 0:14:29.600 The amplified version says, the moment designated is here. There 0:14:29.640 --> 0:14:33.080 are moments God has already designated to show out in 0:14:33.120 --> 0:14:36.680 your life. I believe this is one of your moments. 0:14:37.000 --> 0:14:41.000 You're living in a favor season, a growing season, an 0:14:41.000 --> 0:14:45.360 acceleration season. You're going to have a new confidence to 0:14:45.440 --> 0:14:48.320 do things that you couldn't do before. You're going to 0:14:48.320 --> 0:14:51.840 see your gifts and talents come out in a greater way. 0:14:52.000 --> 0:14:52.840 God is going to. 0:14:52.760 --> 0:14:57.560 Give you more influence, more notoriety, a bigger platform. His 0:14:57.720 --> 0:15:00.440 face is going to shine down on you and cause 0:15:00.520 --> 0:15:03.800 you to stand out. Family members that have been off 0:15:03.840 --> 0:15:08.240 course seems like they'll always make poor choices. Though those 0:15:08.320 --> 0:15:12.000 forces are being broken, things are about to change. They're 0:15:12.040 --> 0:15:15.960 going to start making good choices that honor God. People 0:15:16.040 --> 0:15:18.440 are gonna think, how in the world did they turn 0:15:18.520 --> 0:15:21.800 around so quickly. Here's how you came into a set 0:15:21.880 --> 0:15:27.000 time of favor, a moment already designated by the creator. 0:15:26.600 --> 0:15:29.560 Of the universe. Think about a set time. 0:15:30.320 --> 0:15:33.520 Sometimes at night, you'll set your alarm for the morning. 0:15:33.680 --> 0:15:35.840 You program your clock, I want to get up at 0:15:35.880 --> 0:15:38.320 six point thirty, and you set the hour, set the 0:15:38.360 --> 0:15:42.040 minute that's the set time. Or maybe you're cooking something 0:15:42.080 --> 0:15:45.280 that takes an hour and a half. You set the 0:15:45.360 --> 0:15:49.560 timer on the oven for ninety minutes. You're waiting and waiting. 0:15:50.040 --> 0:15:53.080 But when the alarm goes off, you don't keep waiting. 0:15:53.840 --> 0:15:57.520 The set time has come. You change your position, you 0:15:57.640 --> 0:15:59.960 change your posture, you take the food out. 0:16:00.080 --> 0:16:01.560 It's done. You wake up. 0:16:01.600 --> 0:16:05.400 The morning has arrived. I believe God is saying to us, 0:16:05.720 --> 0:16:07.480 the alarm is going off. 0:16:07.800 --> 0:16:09.240 The set time has come. 0:16:09.640 --> 0:16:13.080 Change your position, change your attitude from I don't think 0:16:13.120 --> 0:16:15.760 it's ever gonna happen. To Lord, thank you that it's here. 0:16:16.280 --> 0:16:19.360 Thank you that my set time for favor has arrived. 0:16:19.960 --> 0:16:24.440 Start expecting God's goodness. See, life can get so routine 0:16:24.880 --> 0:16:28.240 that we're not really releasing our faith. We've been lulled 0:16:28.280 --> 0:16:30.160 into thinking, h it's never going to happen for me. 0:16:30.360 --> 0:16:32.960 It's been so long, I'll never get well, I'll never 0:16:33.000 --> 0:16:36.560 meet the right person. No, every morning, when you wake up, 0:16:36.880 --> 0:16:40.360 just imagine the alarm is going off. God is saying 0:16:40.480 --> 0:16:44.040 it's the set time. Our attitude should be. This is 0:16:44.120 --> 0:16:47.280 my day for favor, This is my day for increase, 0:16:47.640 --> 0:16:51.960 this is my day for divine connections. Not maybe one 0:16:52.040 --> 0:16:54.920 day it's going to happen. No, I know today is 0:16:55.000 --> 0:16:55.520 my day. 0:16:55.880 --> 0:16:58.760 By faith. I can hear the alarm going off. It's 0:16:58.840 --> 0:16:59.640 favor time. 0:17:00.040 --> 0:17:03.920 It's healing time, it's acceleration time, it's blessing time. 0:17:04.760 --> 0:17:06.520 Some of you know what Miller time is. 0:17:06.760 --> 0:17:10.159 I'm talking about breakthrough time, victory time. 0:17:10.040 --> 0:17:11.000 Abundance time. 0:17:12.080 --> 0:17:16.800 I've seen this set time of favor in my own life. 0:17:17.359 --> 0:17:20.560 That's why it's easy for me to encourage you. I 0:17:20.560 --> 0:17:23.560 shouldn't be where I am. I didn't train to do this. 0:17:24.160 --> 0:17:27.000 I wasn't planning on being a minister. Never thought I 0:17:27.000 --> 0:17:29.560 could get up in front of people. When my father 0:17:29.640 --> 0:17:31.720 went to be with the Lord and I did step 0:17:31.800 --> 0:17:34.800 up to pastor the church, we never dreamed it would grow. 0:17:35.480 --> 0:17:37.760 We thought if we could maintain what my parents had 0:17:37.760 --> 0:17:40.560 built it, that would be a win. This is the 0:17:40.640 --> 0:17:44.159 sovereignty of God. I came into a set time of 0:17:44.240 --> 0:17:47.919 favor that the creator of the universe had ordained for 0:17:48.040 --> 0:17:50.560 me before I was formed in my mother's roomb. 0:17:51.760 --> 0:17:53.720 God had already set aside. 0:17:54.080 --> 0:17:57.080 That's the time I'm going to show out in Joel's life. 0:17:57.480 --> 0:17:58.880 I couldn't have made it happen. 0:17:59.280 --> 0:18:03.360 I couldn't have constrained this facility, the influence, the growth 0:18:03.680 --> 0:18:06.280 in my own strength. It was the hand of God 0:18:06.640 --> 0:18:08.680 taking me where I could not go on my own. 0:18:09.000 --> 0:18:11.439 God set the time for us to have this building. 0:18:11.760 --> 0:18:14.480 He set the time for me to meet Victoria, set 0:18:14.480 --> 0:18:17.640 the time for my mother to be healed from terminal cancer. 0:18:18.600 --> 0:18:23.360 In the same way, God has already designated these moments 0:18:23.400 --> 0:18:27.360 of favor for you. He's already set the times. You're 0:18:27.400 --> 0:18:29.880 living in one of those right now. A set time 0:18:29.960 --> 0:18:34.280 of acceleration, a set time of greater influence, a set 0:18:34.320 --> 0:18:36.680 time where God wants to show out in your life. 0:18:37.200 --> 0:18:39.760 But if this is going to happen down in your spirit, 0:18:40.040 --> 0:18:42.200 you have to hear the alarm going off. 0:18:42.400 --> 0:18:43.520 Through your eyes of faith. 0:18:43.600 --> 0:18:48.000 You have to see God arising, fighting your battles, moving 0:18:48.080 --> 0:18:51.080 obstacles out of your path, preparing the way for you 0:18:51.160 --> 0:18:53.200 to step in to a new level. 0:18:52.920 --> 0:18:54.359 Of your destiny. 0:18:55.080 --> 0:18:57.440 I talked to a young lady that moved here from 0:18:57.440 --> 0:19:01.119 another state. She tried to get her business in the Northeast, 0:19:01.160 --> 0:19:03.960 but things didn't work out, and she felt like she 0:19:04.000 --> 0:19:06.000 is supposed to take a step of faith and move 0:19:06.040 --> 0:19:11.119 down here. For thirteen hours driving to Texas, she listened 0:19:11.160 --> 0:19:14.560 to my messages on serious XM. Said she never turned 0:19:14.600 --> 0:19:17.880 it off. Thirteen hours. I get tired of hearing myself. 0:19:19.280 --> 0:19:21.240 She heard that message. I spoke at the first of 0:19:21.280 --> 0:19:24.879 the year, about how God can accelerate your dreams and 0:19:24.920 --> 0:19:28.280 he can make things happen faster than you thought. Something 0:19:28.359 --> 0:19:31.480 came alive on the inside. She thought, Yes, that's for me. 0:19:32.320 --> 0:19:35.720 She started her new position. She works in cells, and 0:19:35.920 --> 0:19:39.359 realistically she knew it would take a while to build 0:19:39.440 --> 0:19:43.000 up her clientele and really get things going. But she said, 0:19:43.040 --> 0:19:47.320 this first month here, she sold more than she sold 0:19:47.440 --> 0:19:50.760 in the whole year. Back at home, she was so excited. 0:19:50.800 --> 0:19:53.680 She said, Joel, there's still six days left in this month. 0:19:53.680 --> 0:19:58.000 I'm gonna sell even more. What happened. She came in 0:19:58.000 --> 0:20:02.360 to her set time of favor, her set time of acceleration. 0:20:03.280 --> 0:20:05.639 But I wonder what would have happened if she'd have thought, oh, 0:20:06.240 --> 0:20:09.160 I'm never gonna see favor, I'm never gonna see acceleration. 0:20:09.480 --> 0:20:11.960 It's gonna be rough getting started in a new city. 0:20:12.520 --> 0:20:16.760 That would have limited her destiny. God works where there's faith. 0:20:17.400 --> 0:20:19.760 You may not see how it can happen in the natural. 0:20:19.960 --> 0:20:23.679 That's okay. He's a supernatural God. You don't have to 0:20:23.720 --> 0:20:24.520 figure it all out. 0:20:25.119 --> 0:20:28.159 All you have to do is believe, take the limits 0:20:28.200 --> 0:20:31.879 off of God. Dare to do like she did and say, God, 0:20:32.320 --> 0:20:35.399 just like you promised in Psalm one two that it 0:20:35.480 --> 0:20:37.639 was the set time to favor Zion. 0:20:38.080 --> 0:20:40.800 God, I know I am Zion, I am. 0:20:40.720 --> 0:20:43.960 The Church, so I believe it's my set time for favor, 0:20:44.359 --> 0:20:47.160 set time for acceleration, set time to. 0:20:47.160 --> 0:20:48.040 Go to a new level. 0:20:49.400 --> 0:20:52.040 A mother called the other day and told how she 0:20:52.160 --> 0:20:56.320 has an adult child that's physically challenged, and this child 0:20:56.440 --> 0:21:00.600 recently had a stroke and needed constant caring. This mother 0:21:00.760 --> 0:21:03.480 is a widow and couldn't afford to quit her job, 0:21:04.119 --> 0:21:07.520 and there was a well respected facility not far from 0:21:07.520 --> 0:21:10.359 where she lived that took care of disabled people. 0:21:10.880 --> 0:21:14.080 But when she inquired, she was told that there was 0:21:14.119 --> 0:21:16.920 a ten year waiting list to get in. She didn't 0:21:16.960 --> 0:21:17.960 know what she was going to do. 0:21:18.640 --> 0:21:22.200 This mother wasn't raised in church, she didn't have any 0:21:22.280 --> 0:21:25.760 kind of spiritual background, but through watching us on television, 0:21:25.800 --> 0:21:28.159 she had come to know the Lord. She heard me 0:21:28.240 --> 0:21:32.440 talking about acceleration in her own simple way, with a 0:21:32.560 --> 0:21:36.399 childlike faith. She said, God, they said it's going to 0:21:36.440 --> 0:21:39.200 take ten years to get my child in, But Lord, 0:21:39.520 --> 0:21:41.919 I believe that you can make it happen sooner. 0:21:42.480 --> 0:21:44.120 Three weeks later, the. 0:21:44.119 --> 0:21:47.160 Facility called back and said We've had an opening come 0:21:47.240 --> 0:21:48.520 up unexpectedly. 0:21:48.840 --> 0:21:51.959 We'd love to have your child. What could have taken 0:21:52.480 --> 0:21:53.159 ten years? 0:21:54.080 --> 0:21:57.760 God did in a fraction of the time, a set 0:21:57.880 --> 0:22:01.359 time of favor, a moment God had already designated. 0:22:02.320 --> 0:22:04.400 The common denominator. 0:22:03.960 --> 0:22:06.760 With both of these ladies is they released their fame. 0:22:07.400 --> 0:22:10.600 They had an expectancy. If she'd have thought, all great, 0:22:10.720 --> 0:22:13.120 ten years, just my luck, what am I going to do, 0:22:13.720 --> 0:22:16.760 maybe the door wouldn't have opened, maybe the set time 0:22:17.080 --> 0:22:21.680 would have been delayed. Instead of being negative talking themselves 0:22:21.760 --> 0:22:24.800 out of it, these two ladies acted like the alarm 0:22:24.960 --> 0:22:28.919 was going off. They changed their position, changed their attitude. 0:22:29.119 --> 0:22:32.720 They even dared to ask God for what seemed impossible. 0:22:33.600 --> 0:22:37.160 When that alarm is sounding, when it's your time, that's 0:22:37.240 --> 0:22:39.040 a window of opportunity. 0:22:39.560 --> 0:22:43.240 It's not going to last forever. Don't let the negative. 0:22:42.880 --> 0:22:45.520 Voices convince you that you're never going to get well, 0:22:45.760 --> 0:22:48.119 never get out of death, never get your child. And 0:22:48.160 --> 0:22:51.159 too many people in front of you in this set time. 0:22:51.560 --> 0:22:53.560 God knows how to take you from the back to 0:22:53.600 --> 0:22:56.639 the front. He can open doors that no man can shut. 0:22:56.800 --> 0:22:59.359 He'll take you where you could not go on your own. 0:23:01.000 --> 0:23:04.359 My father had a sister named Maryan For years, she 0:23:04.440 --> 0:23:07.560 struggled with the condition that caused her to have violent 0:23:07.680 --> 0:23:11.520 convulsions and terrible headaches. It was so bad that it 0:23:11.600 --> 0:23:14.959 was crippling her life, and at one point she started 0:23:15.000 --> 0:23:19.359 having these hallucinations and her mind became unclear. She'd been 0:23:19.400 --> 0:23:22.080 in the hospital for a long time and they finally 0:23:22.119 --> 0:23:26.359 sent her home. She couldn't recognize people, She couldn't feed herself, 0:23:26.560 --> 0:23:28.280 she had to have twenty four hour care. 0:23:29.080 --> 0:23:30.920 My father lived in a different. 0:23:30.640 --> 0:23:33.880 City and he traveled a lot and didn't realize how 0:23:33.920 --> 0:23:37.600 sick Mary was. One day, his mother called and told 0:23:37.680 --> 0:23:41.240 him about Mary's condition. He was scheduled to go out 0:23:41.240 --> 0:23:44.080 of town the next morning, but while he was praying, 0:23:44.720 --> 0:23:47.639 he heard God say to him, not out loud, but 0:23:47.720 --> 0:23:51.639 this distinct phrase, right down in here, the hour of 0:23:51.760 --> 0:23:55.879 Mary's deliverance has come. He heard what God said in 0:23:55.960 --> 0:23:58.200 saw one o two, the set. 0:23:57.880 --> 0:24:00.400 Time for Mary's healing is here. 0:24:01.400 --> 0:24:04.400 Instead of taking his plan trip that morning, he drove 0:24:04.400 --> 0:24:07.600 from Houston to Dallas, where Mary lived, and when he 0:24:07.680 --> 0:24:11.479 went in her room, it was dark. The shades were pulled, 0:24:11.800 --> 0:24:14.840 very depressing. Mary didn't recognize him. 0:24:15.040 --> 0:24:17.760 Her hair was matted, her eyes glazed over. 0:24:18.480 --> 0:24:22.240 Something rose up in my father, not just a boldness, 0:24:22.400 --> 0:24:26.040 but a holy anger, like the scripture says, in this 0:24:26.119 --> 0:24:28.440 set time, God won't sit idly by. 0:24:28.600 --> 0:24:30.640 He'll rise up against your enemies. 0:24:30.840 --> 0:24:34.320 My father could feel that power rising up through him. 0:24:34.720 --> 0:24:37.479 He went over to Mary's bed, and after he prayed 0:24:37.480 --> 0:24:40.960 for it, he said forcefully, Mary, I want. 0:24:40.880 --> 0:24:42.440 You to get up out of this bed. 0:24:43.080 --> 0:24:46.400 All of a sudden, Mary sat straight up. She had 0:24:46.440 --> 0:24:49.640 not walked in months, but that moment she got out 0:24:49.640 --> 0:24:52.240 of the bed and was able to walk through the house. 0:24:52.520 --> 0:24:55.240 Her mind cleared up. She was able to talk to 0:24:55.320 --> 0:24:59.119 my father. That day, she went to the table and 0:24:59.160 --> 0:25:03.000 fed herself. She no longer needed her medicine, no longer 0:25:03.040 --> 0:25:06.439 needed the twenty four hour care, totally healed, a moment 0:25:06.520 --> 0:25:10.960 of favor. My father asked her later, Mary, why did 0:25:11.000 --> 0:25:13.919 you get out of bed so suddenly? She said, because 0:25:13.960 --> 0:25:17.080 I heard God tell me to get out. He gotta laughs, 0:25:17.119 --> 0:25:20.560 said no, Mary, it was me. I said it. She said, no, John, 0:25:20.880 --> 0:25:23.280 I heard the voice of God telling me to get 0:25:23.280 --> 0:25:29.280 out of bed. He said, Mary, I was standing right there. 0:25:29.680 --> 0:25:31.760 I'm telling you I'm the one that said it. She said, 0:25:31.800 --> 0:25:34.199 listen here, John, I know what I heard, and I 0:25:34.280 --> 0:25:37.840 heard the creator of the universe, the most high God, 0:25:38.080 --> 0:25:41.000 telling me to get out of bed. And when I 0:25:41.119 --> 0:25:45.280 heard that, every chain was broken off of me. Every 0:25:45.359 --> 0:25:49.680 fiber of my being came back to life. Friends, when 0:25:49.720 --> 0:25:53.280 it's your set time, all the forces of darkness. 0:25:52.840 --> 0:25:53.960 Cannot hold you back. 0:25:54.359 --> 0:25:58.160 Our God is more powerful than any sickness, any addiction, 0:25:58.560 --> 0:26:02.880 any depression, any perny hater. Every chain will be broken, 0:26:03.320 --> 0:26:08.399 every stronghold will come down, every limitation will be loosed. 0:26:09.040 --> 0:26:10.000 The Creator of. 0:26:10.000 --> 0:26:13.239 The universe will make you come alive. He'll push you 0:26:13.280 --> 0:26:17.120 into your destiny. I believe right now God is rising 0:26:17.200 --> 0:26:21.439 up against your enemies, rising up against that sickness, that 0:26:21.600 --> 0:26:25.520 legal problem, that spirit of lack and struggle. Those forces 0:26:25.560 --> 0:26:30.159 are being broken. Your destiny is being released. Psalm one 0:26:30.240 --> 0:26:32.640 oh two goes on to say, in this set time 0:26:32.680 --> 0:26:35.000 of favor, people all around you. 0:26:35.080 --> 0:26:37.440 Are going to notice what God has done. 0:26:37.800 --> 0:26:40.120 He's going to show out in your life in such 0:26:40.160 --> 0:26:43.400 a way that you will be an example of His goodness. 0:26:43.440 --> 0:26:47.400 So blessed, so healthy, so strong, so generous, so talented. 0:26:47.680 --> 0:26:50.760 People all around you will see the hand of God 0:26:50.920 --> 0:26:54.159 is upon your life. But sometimes when we've been waiting 0:26:54.240 --> 0:26:58.600 a long time, waiting for the miracle, waiting for the healing, waiting. 0:26:58.359 --> 0:26:59.720 For a dream to come to pass. 0:27:00.080 --> 0:27:02.840 It's easy to get into a weight mode where we're 0:27:02.880 --> 0:27:07.040 not expecting anything. God is saying the weight is over, 0:27:07.760 --> 0:27:09.399 the alarm is going off. 0:27:09.640 --> 0:27:12.560 Victory is here, healing is here, favor is here. The 0:27:12.680 --> 0:27:15.440 moment designated has come. Now. 0:27:15.480 --> 0:27:17.840 You may not see it yet, but here's the whole key. 0:27:18.160 --> 0:27:21.000 You have to walk by faith and not by sight 0:27:21.760 --> 0:27:24.239 all through the week. Lord, I thank you that it's 0:27:24.359 --> 0:27:27.320 my set time for favor. Thank you that you're pushing 0:27:27.400 --> 0:27:30.880 back the forces of darkness. Thank you that you're accelerating 0:27:31.040 --> 0:27:34.479 my dreams coming to pass. Well, Joel, I tried this, 0:27:34.600 --> 0:27:37.720 but my business didn't work out.

He's going to arise and fight your battles. 0:27:50.920 --> 0:27:53.359 This time, he said, he'll get off the throne and 0:27:53.440 --> 0:27:54.680 do what you could not do. 0:27:55.320 --> 0:27:57.960 He's breathing in your direction in a new way. 0:27:58.080 --> 0:28:01.960 Right now, it's your time to possess the land. If 0:28:02.000 --> 0:28:05.480 you'll do this, I believe and declare God is going 0:28:05.520 --> 0:28:08.639 to show out in your life in a new way. 0:28:08.680 --> 0:28:12.000 You're going to see new levels of influence, notoriety, a 0:28:12.040 --> 0:28:16.040 bigger platform like my father's sister, healing from what looks 0:28:16.080 --> 0:28:19.520 permanent like those two ladies.

For example, Quands as he drifts away to Nirvana. 0:30:39.680 --> 0:30:44.120 After only the first chapter is different to Maya's when 0:30:44.160 --> 0:30:47.120 she discovered the narrator was in fact the Evil Twin, 0:30:47.680 --> 0:30:48.960 which is also different. 0:30:48.640 --> 0:30:52.760 To Noah's aw anytime the cute cyberpunk is mentioned, even 0:30:52.840 --> 0:30:55.400 though in reality he'd be totally out of his league. 0:30:55.760 --> 0:31:01.360 From two two Amazon books that reading feeling awaits
