WEBVTT 00:02.572 --> 00:03.953 [SPEAKER_00]: High Praise Podcasts. 00:09.136 --> 00:15.641 [SPEAKER_00]: Hey everybody, this is Pastor Josh with Lead Pastor here at High Praise and I wanna thank you for downloading today's podcast. 00:16.181 --> 00:20.084 [SPEAKER_00]: We know that this message is going to encourage and bless you. 00:20.484 --> 00:24.347 [SPEAKER_00]: So I want you to open up your heart and receive with the Lord as for you today. 00:25.643 --> 00:26.323 [SPEAKER_01]: All right, praise. 00:26.383 --> 00:28.324 [SPEAKER_01]: Or turn your Bible to Mark chapter nine. 00:29.065 --> 00:30.886 [SPEAKER_01]: I believe that there is a flow of the Holy Spirit. 00:30.906 --> 00:32.206 [SPEAKER_01]: Don't you glad that you listen. 00:32.627 --> 00:37.849 [SPEAKER_01]: It is good to, as my effect, the Bible says, then was our mouth filled with laughter. 00:38.410 --> 00:40.751 [SPEAKER_01]: Do you know that God wants to feel your mouth with laughter? 00:41.668 --> 00:49.594 [SPEAKER_01]: He wants to fill you with his joy, and listen, as believers, we ought to be the most joyful people in all the world. 00:49.654 --> 00:58.521 [SPEAKER_01]: And by the way, we don't need necessarily the stimulation of something going on externally because joy to be within our hearts. 00:58.561 --> 01:02.665 [SPEAKER_01]: Listen, joy is a fruit of the spirit, not the fruit of your circumstances. 01:03.227 --> 01:03.487 [SPEAKER_01]: Right? 01:03.508 --> 01:07.132 [SPEAKER_01]: It's a fruit of the spirit, not the fruit of your circumstances. 01:07.613 --> 01:10.857 [SPEAKER_01]: I'm sure that all of this probably have things that are going on in our lives. 01:11.378 --> 01:20.070 [SPEAKER_01]: If we meditated on them long enough and thought about them long enough, we could possibly even get depressed about what's happening and some of you may have really what happened yesterday. 01:21.151 --> 01:25.574 [SPEAKER_01]: You could probably be depressed about it, and then some of us could be joyful just because of that. 01:26.074 --> 01:35.460 [SPEAKER_01]: But the reality is our joy is not based on circumstances or anything that happens in the natural a new car, a new house, all those things are wonderful and great, your team winning. 01:35.480 --> 01:37.021 [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, that's great, but here's this. 01:37.401 --> 01:41.844 [SPEAKER_01]: What our joy is about is the fact that we are redeemed by the very blood of Jesus. 01:42.184 --> 01:47.368 [SPEAKER_01]: Our names are written in the Lamb's book of life, and he has given us his victory, man. 01:48.229 --> 01:55.735 [SPEAKER_01]: And that's, and because of that, we can walk with joy regardless of the circumstances that may be surrounding us. 01:56.155 --> 02:00.659 [SPEAKER_01]: And again, you know, there are different seasons in life, you know, I'm going to get to my scripture here in a moment. 02:02.080 --> 02:05.482 [SPEAKER_01]: I'm just going to follow this morning as Labor Day weekend. 02:05.502 --> 02:06.203 [SPEAKER_01]: Let's go, right? 02:08.044 --> 02:08.725 [SPEAKER_01]: But, uh, 02:10.115 --> 02:20.984 [SPEAKER_01]: You know, one of the things I think that is very interesting that we need to understand is that we have to begin to live our lives in a way that exhibits the very character in nature of Christ. 02:21.784 --> 02:24.546 [SPEAKER_01]: And how many of the Jesus didn't go around with the long face? 02:24.586 --> 02:26.288 [SPEAKER_01]: He didn't go around with the sad face. 02:26.328 --> 02:27.869 [SPEAKER_01]: He didn't go around to press. 02:28.229 --> 02:29.730 [SPEAKER_01]: He didn't go around to O.P.S. 02:29.790 --> 02:31.252 [SPEAKER_01]: and just because people didn't like him. 02:31.272 --> 02:32.773 [SPEAKER_01]: And by the way, people tried to 02:33.113 --> 02:35.594 [SPEAKER_01]: They tried to throw him off a cliff and they tried to kill him. 02:35.614 --> 02:37.675 [SPEAKER_01]: They tried to do all kinds of things to Jesus. 02:38.075 --> 02:42.277 [SPEAKER_01]: But how many of those are Jesus, even he still maintained his joy. 02:42.317 --> 02:47.580 [SPEAKER_01]: He still continued to stay focused with what Father had actually called him to do. 02:48.140 --> 02:52.162 [SPEAKER_01]: The commission that he had to fulfill, he stayed focused and listened. 02:52.542 --> 02:55.544 [SPEAKER_01]: I believe if Jesus did it, that we can also, amen. 02:56.524 --> 03:02.647 [SPEAKER_01]: And but this past Wednesday night, during the service, the Lord gave me a prophetic word. 03:02.687 --> 03:04.468 [SPEAKER_01]: How many of you were here on Wednesday? 03:05.008 --> 03:12.672 [SPEAKER_01]: And some of you may remember, I recall this prophetic word that I had, but I felt like the Lord was challenging us. 03:12.692 --> 03:15.413 [SPEAKER_01]: The Lord was saying, it's time to take off the limits. 03:16.234 --> 03:18.995 [SPEAKER_01]: Would you look at somebody say, it's time to take off the limits? 03:20.245 --> 03:22.706 [SPEAKER_01]: And believe that the Lord was saying it's time to believe again. 03:22.766 --> 03:29.010 [SPEAKER_01]: I mean, these were things that were coming forth prophetically and even this morning, the same things are prophesied once again. 03:29.030 --> 03:36.974 [SPEAKER_01]: And how many know whenever this begins to take place, it means this that God is emphasizing something to us as a local church body. 03:37.814 --> 03:47.680 [SPEAKER_01]: And let me tell you, the only reason that God is exhorting us to begin to believe again and to take off the limits is because he wants to do some things that are going to blow your mind. 03:48.580 --> 03:52.822 [SPEAKER_01]: He wants to do some miracles within your life that you thought were not possible. 03:53.243 --> 03:55.304 [SPEAKER_01]: You know, we saw one happen yesterday. 03:55.784 --> 04:02.707 [SPEAKER_01]: But the reality is this, listen, God wants to do some things that are really life-changing, not something that's just momentary. 04:03.148 --> 04:06.890 [SPEAKER_01]: But I believe that God wants to do some things that are going to change your life permanently. 04:07.290 --> 04:09.451 [SPEAKER_01]: Some of you have been standing here the word of the Lord. 04:09.751 --> 04:10.892 [SPEAKER_01]: Some of you have been standing... 04:11.552 --> 04:13.793 [SPEAKER_01]: And you've been believing God for your children. 04:14.153 --> 04:17.714 [SPEAKER_01]: But here, this, I believe the Lord is saying, it's time to believe once again. 04:18.114 --> 04:20.535 [SPEAKER_01]: It's time to pick up your sword once again. 04:20.855 --> 04:23.336 [SPEAKER_01]: It's time to begin to wield your sword once again. 04:23.696 --> 04:38.702 [SPEAKER_01]: It's time to begin to war a good warfare with the prophecies that have went over you because there is nothing that is too difficult for the Lord and his arm is not too short and he's gonna reach down in the midst of the broken situations and God's going to restore. 04:38.942 --> 04:39.882 [SPEAKER_01]: God's going to heal. 04:40.222 --> 04:41.243 [SPEAKER_01]: God's going to deliver. 04:41.303 --> 04:41.563 [SPEAKER_01]: Why? 04:41.803 --> 04:45.345 [SPEAKER_01]: Because Jesus saves heels and delivers, amen? 04:45.946 --> 04:47.046 [SPEAKER_01]: Do you believe it today? 04:47.467 --> 04:49.928 [SPEAKER_01]: Can you look at somebody and say Jesus saves? 04:51.149 --> 04:52.710 [SPEAKER_01]: Look at them say Jesus heels. 04:53.571 --> 04:54.852 [SPEAKER_01]: Tell them Jesus delivers. 04:56.510 --> 05:13.160 [SPEAKER_01]: I believe that, you know, I had a dream this happened several years ago, and I think I've shared it before, and I don't, and again, not every dream that you have necessarily is birth of the Holy Spirit or is a God dream. 05:13.200 --> 05:15.022 [SPEAKER_01]: How many of you have had dreams before? 05:15.062 --> 05:17.643 [SPEAKER_01]: You know God went in that whatsoever, right? 05:18.564 --> 05:23.427 [SPEAKER_01]: But how many of you had some dreams before that you knew that God was speaking something to you at that moment at time? 05:24.507 --> 05:30.372 [SPEAKER_01]: And I had this dream, and in this dream, I was actually in the pulpit right here. 05:31.012 --> 05:36.676 [SPEAKER_01]: I was right here in the pulpit, and I was preaching, and the doors back there were open. 05:37.617 --> 05:44.142 [SPEAKER_01]: And I began to declare this, Jesus saves, Jesus heals, Jesus delivers. 05:45.123 --> 05:48.426 [SPEAKER_01]: Jesus saves, heels, and delivers. 05:49.680 --> 05:56.623 [SPEAKER_01]: And as I was saying that, as the doors were open, I saw people, the building was about half full at that moment in time. 05:57.123 --> 06:01.785 [SPEAKER_01]: And as I began to declare that we saw people, I saw people literally begin to trickle in. 06:02.465 --> 06:12.650 [SPEAKER_01]: And then what I did is had everybody in the congregation begin to stand up and we all begin to declare with one voice, Jesus saves, heals, and delivers. 06:13.510 --> 06:26.498 [SPEAKER_01]: And as I continue to look through the back doors, it was literally like a throng of people began to come in to the point that the building would actually not be able to hold everyone that was coming in. 06:26.518 --> 06:34.903 [SPEAKER_01]: You know, I really do believe that God is wanting to do some things not only in us, but God will still do something through the church today. 06:35.583 --> 06:41.204 [SPEAKER_01]: And I believe this going to be the result of us just getting back to some of the basics and that is this. 06:41.544 --> 06:46.585 [SPEAKER_01]: Jesus will save you, Jesus will heal you, and Jesus will deliver you. 06:47.365 --> 06:53.466 [SPEAKER_01]: Jesus will save your family, Jesus will heal your family, and Jesus will deliver you your family. 06:54.086 --> 06:56.187 [SPEAKER_01]: It doesn't matter what it looks like at them. 06:56.267 --> 07:03.108 [SPEAKER_01]: In other words, Jesus will save your business, Jesus will heal your business, and Jesus will deliver your business. 07:03.908 --> 07:04.268 [SPEAKER_01]: Amen. 07:05.028 --> 07:09.470 [SPEAKER_01]: He will actually save you and every arena and every area of your life. 07:09.810 --> 07:16.773 [SPEAKER_01]: We have to understand that salvation is more than just a ticket to heaven or being born again. 07:16.833 --> 07:18.153 [SPEAKER_01]: That's wonderful and great. 07:18.493 --> 07:19.714 [SPEAKER_01]: And thank God for that. 07:19.834 --> 07:22.875 [SPEAKER_01]: Listen, salvation entails so much more. 07:23.575 --> 07:27.997 [SPEAKER_01]: than just getting delivered from Hell's Fire, so to speak. 07:28.457 --> 07:32.179 [SPEAKER_01]: Salvation means this, you are now made the head and not the tail. 07:32.639 --> 07:34.760 [SPEAKER_01]: You are now above and not beneath. 07:35.040 --> 07:38.822 [SPEAKER_01]: Salvation means that God will cause favor to come into your life. 07:39.082 --> 07:40.363 [SPEAKER_01]: Salvation means that now, 07:40.643 --> 07:46.827 [SPEAKER_01]: You are walking, healing, and you will walk in health, and you will walk in deliverance, and wholeness, salvation means this. 07:47.027 --> 07:54.453 [SPEAKER_01]: That your sons and daughters will not only be saved, but that your sons and daughters, they will prophesy in the very house of the Lord. 07:54.733 --> 08:04.860 [SPEAKER_01]: Salvation means a glory to God, not only, you're not just gonna scrape by, you're not just gonna get by, the glory to God, you're gonna be exalted, and you're gonna walk on the high. 08:04.920 --> 08:05.980 [SPEAKER_01]: Hallelujah, amen. 08:06.000 --> 08:07.902 [SPEAKER_01]: I believe that today. 08:09.000 --> 08:11.181 [SPEAKER_01]: Amen, Mark 9, let's read verse 17. 08:12.401 --> 08:16.143 [SPEAKER_01]: Title of my message is all things are possible. 08:17.143 --> 08:35.070 [SPEAKER_01]: Mark 9, 17, then one of the crowd answered and said, teacher, I brought you my son who has a mute spirit and wherever it ceases him, it throws him down, he foams at the mouth, gnashes his teeth and becomes rigid, so I spoke to your disciples that they should cast it out, but they could not. 08:36.412 --> 08:41.274 [SPEAKER_01]: He answered him and said, oh, faithless generation, how long shall I be with you? 08:41.334 --> 08:42.875 [SPEAKER_01]: How long shall I bear with you? 08:43.455 --> 08:44.175 [SPEAKER_01]: Bring him to me. 08:45.156 --> 08:47.137 [SPEAKER_01]: Look at somebody say, you got to bring it to Jesus. 08:48.698 --> 08:49.858 [SPEAKER_01]: Then they brought him to him. 08:50.878 --> 08:55.781 [SPEAKER_01]: And when he saw him immediately, the spirit convulsively fell on the ground and wall of foaming at the mouth. 08:56.753 --> 09:00.575 [SPEAKER_01]: So yeah, as his father, how long has this been happening to him? 09:00.635 --> 09:08.238 [SPEAKER_01]: And he said, from childhood, and often he has known him, both into the fire, into the water, to destroy him. 09:08.258 --> 09:09.298 [SPEAKER_01]: Notice this. 09:09.538 --> 09:14.500 [SPEAKER_01]: But if you can do anything, have compassion on us and help us. 09:15.661 --> 09:17.602 [SPEAKER_01]: Jesus said to him, get this. 09:18.482 --> 09:22.664 [SPEAKER_01]: The question is not, if I can, but if you can believe, 09:24.540 --> 09:36.789 [SPEAKER_01]: You know, a lot of times people are questioning whether or not the Lord can do something and sometimes even people will say that He can, but they're not sure that He's even willing to do it, which you'll get to that in just a moment. 09:37.510 --> 09:45.336 [SPEAKER_01]: But the real question is not if He can or if He is willing, the question is, is, can you believe? 09:46.517 --> 09:52.862 [SPEAKER_01]: Because what Jesus says this, if you can believe all things are possible to Him who believes. 09:54.158 --> 10:08.967 [SPEAKER_01]: Jesus is saying, it's really not about whether or not I have ability, as a matter of fact, he knew, and we know that Jesus had all authority, he had all power, he had all the ability, and he had the anointing of God upon his life. 10:09.007 --> 10:11.268 [SPEAKER_01]: He was God in the earth, right? 10:12.288 --> 10:13.989 [SPEAKER_01]: I mean, believe that Jesus was God. 10:14.029 --> 10:17.371 [SPEAKER_01]: He was the word made flesh, right? 10:18.552 --> 10:21.714 [SPEAKER_01]: So immediately the Father of the child cried out and said to the Lord and tears, 10:24.822 --> 10:26.403 [SPEAKER_01]: That's why I was crying out yesterday. 10:30.425 --> 10:31.606 [SPEAKER_01]: I didn't really think we had a chance. 10:31.626 --> 10:34.648 [SPEAKER_01]: But anyway, immediately the Father tried. 10:34.668 --> 10:42.393 [SPEAKER_01]: He cried out, Lord, I believe, help my unbelief when Jesus saw that the people, thank God, worse, tie at the ties of man of faith over there right there. 10:43.694 --> 10:51.999 [SPEAKER_01]: When Jesus saw that the people came running together, he rebuked the unclean spirit and saying, deaf and dumb spirit, I command you come out of him and enter him no more. 10:52.679 --> 10:55.360 [SPEAKER_01]: Then the spirit cried out, convults him greatly and came out of him. 10:55.701 --> 10:58.282 [SPEAKER_01]: And he became as one dead so that many said he is dead. 10:58.862 --> 11:01.424 [SPEAKER_01]: But Jesus took him by the hand and lifted him up and he arose. 11:02.184 --> 11:06.707 [SPEAKER_01]: When he had come into the house, his disciples asked him privately, why could we not cast 11:07.507 --> 11:07.767 [SPEAKER_01]: it out. 11:08.327 --> 11:17.830 [SPEAKER_01]: So Jesus said to them, this kind come up can come out by nothing but prayer, by say prayer, and fasting, say fasting. 11:19.210 --> 11:27.633 [SPEAKER_01]: Now again, this Wednesday night, this past Wednesday night, since the Lord said that He wanted us, one of the words I specifically got God to say, I want you to remove the ceiling. 11:28.463 --> 11:31.144 [SPEAKER_01]: You know, there's some of you that have had ceilings in your thinking. 11:31.944 --> 11:33.205 [SPEAKER_01]: Ceilings in your believing. 11:33.965 --> 11:37.606 [SPEAKER_01]: Thinking that things were impossible, and that there was no way that things would turn around. 11:38.206 --> 11:40.207 [SPEAKER_01]: And I believe that God is empowering you today. 11:40.247 --> 11:44.969 [SPEAKER_01]: There is a grace that God is releasing in your life today to begin to take off the ceiling. 11:45.917 --> 11:50.219 [SPEAKER_01]: If you've had a ceiling in your life, it's time that for you to begin to bust that ceiling open, man. 11:51.360 --> 11:54.461 [SPEAKER_01]: You know, we sing that song sometime, tear off the roof. 11:55.822 --> 12:01.385 [SPEAKER_01]: It's time to, they toward the roof from the outside in, but it's time to begin to tear off the roof from the inside out. 12:02.749 --> 12:17.213 [SPEAKER_01]: Whatever has been holding you and putting you in a box and believe that the Lord is saying that he wants that thing destroyed because he wants you to begin to move into a higher place, begin to experience the fullness of his promise within your life. 12:17.814 --> 12:26.616 [SPEAKER_01]: Let me tell you, my wife and I, we have been faced with numerous times, numerous times who are paralyzed with what seemed like in the natural impossible situations. 12:27.277 --> 12:28.017 [SPEAKER_01]: And I can remember, 12:29.074 --> 12:37.840 [SPEAKER_01]: on different times where I'm just to be honest with you, I wanted in the flesh to throw in the towel, but God reminded me of His promise. 12:38.540 --> 12:44.805 [SPEAKER_01]: And I can remember us taking the word of the Lord, the promise of God, it's standing on the promise, it's standing on the word. 12:45.325 --> 12:54.849 [SPEAKER_01]: You see, limitations we want to begin to crowd it around you when you're facing adversity, whenever there are circumstances that are painful within your life. 12:55.269 --> 13:00.712 [SPEAKER_01]: But my friend, the Lord is saying to you today, take off the limits because I'm a limitless God. 13:01.332 --> 13:24.627 [SPEAKER_01]: Begin to take off the ceiling and you're thinking and you're believing because what he wants to do within your life is greater than what you even desire The Bible says this to him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we dare ask or think How many of you actually believe that scripture Ephesians 320 that's what it says to him who is able look at somebody and say he's able 13:25.507 --> 13:29.371 [SPEAKER_01]: He's able to do exceedingly abundantly above all. 13:29.752 --> 13:30.833 [SPEAKER_01]: How do you know what all means? 13:30.853 --> 13:33.055 [SPEAKER_01]: You don't know all means above all means above everything. 13:33.596 --> 13:40.303 [SPEAKER_01]: Above anything that you could ask or anything that you could think according to the power that works on the inside of us. 13:40.923 --> 13:47.369 [SPEAKER_01]: I believe that God is wanting us to remove the restrictions in our thinking, remove the restrictions in our believing. 13:47.810 --> 13:51.173 [SPEAKER_01]: This was a problem that the Israelites had whenever they came out of Egypt. 13:51.554 --> 13:54.957 [SPEAKER_01]: It was at the root of their murmuring and complaining and their unbelief. 13:55.197 --> 13:59.261 [SPEAKER_01]: And by the way, if you're murmuring and complaining, what happened, what's the problem is this. 13:59.461 --> 14:00.122 [SPEAKER_01]: You've got a limit. 14:01.603 --> 14:11.085 [SPEAKER_01]: You put limits on God because whenever you realize that you're serving a limitless God, you stop your complaining, you stop your murmuring, the unbelief goes out the door. 14:12.165 --> 14:13.045 [SPEAKER_01]: And then think about this. 14:13.425 --> 14:24.747 [SPEAKER_01]: If I know that I serve a limitless God, who is willing to do more than I even think or I even have dreamed of, then why would I murmur and why would I complain? 14:26.787 --> 14:27.908 [SPEAKER_01]: Is there anybody here in me? 14:28.508 --> 14:30.088 [SPEAKER_01]: Is anybody feeling convicted yet? 14:31.712 --> 14:35.955 [SPEAKER_01]: You know, it's really easy for us as humans when we're in the uncomfortable situations. 14:36.375 --> 14:38.676 [SPEAKER_01]: The first thing that we want to do is we want to moan. 14:39.777 --> 14:41.138 [SPEAKER_01]: How many know what I'm talking about? 14:41.738 --> 14:42.799 [SPEAKER_01]: How many of you have ever done it? 14:44.320 --> 14:46.582 [SPEAKER_01]: All right, we're going to have an invitation for liars here. 14:47.895 --> 14:49.056 [SPEAKER_01]: We've all done it, right? 14:49.496 --> 14:58.181 [SPEAKER_01]: We've all molded, we've all complained, we've all grown about things, and we've all, in by the way, I just want to go ahead and say this because I want to make sure that I get to this. 14:59.241 --> 15:08.927 [SPEAKER_01]: And that is this, for you that are believing for your children right now, if you're believing for your children, one of the things that has to happen is you have to begin to align what's coming out of your mouth. 15:10.086 --> 15:11.207 [SPEAKER_01]: Are y'all hearing what I'm saying? 15:11.928 --> 15:15.130 [SPEAKER_01]: And you've got to begin to call those things, which be not as though they were. 15:15.771 --> 15:26.961 [SPEAKER_01]: And by the way, if you really want to see them in church, then stop talking about the leaders in the church, to talk in bad about what's going on within the church, you're cursing your seed whenever you do that. 15:28.362 --> 15:28.723 [SPEAKER_01]: Amen? 15:29.904 --> 15:36.690 [SPEAKER_01]: People, I believe that I want my kids to serve God will stop talking bad about the pastor and the deacons and the elders and everybody else. 15:38.960 --> 15:41.842 [SPEAKER_01]: You talk bad about it, you know what, they're not going to want to go to church. 15:42.603 --> 15:44.304 [SPEAKER_01]: They're not going to want to be in church. 15:45.005 --> 15:48.628 [SPEAKER_01]: As a matter of fact, we should always maintain a positive confession. 15:48.908 --> 15:52.711 [SPEAKER_01]: And listen, if you can't say something good, then just don't say anything at all. 15:52.771 --> 15:53.031 [SPEAKER_01]: Right? 15:53.852 --> 15:57.475 [SPEAKER_01]: And by the way, if you can't say anything good about me, I got blue eyes. 15:57.535 --> 15:59.157 [SPEAKER_01]: Tell everybody I got blue eyes. 16:01.559 --> 16:01.799 [SPEAKER_01]: Right? 16:02.891 --> 16:05.852 [SPEAKER_01]: You could always find something good about somebody, right? 16:06.473 --> 16:07.413 [SPEAKER_01]: I mean, I don't look over there. 16:07.493 --> 16:10.115 [SPEAKER_01]: Cock, I can find something good about him, all right? 16:10.455 --> 16:12.576 [SPEAKER_01]: He has a pretty wife, Halle Liu, you're a man. 16:12.596 --> 16:17.798 [SPEAKER_01]: All right. 16:19.439 --> 16:19.979 [SPEAKER_01]: Is that count? 16:22.987 --> 16:25.487 [SPEAKER_01]: You can find something good about everybody. 16:26.148 --> 16:29.188 [SPEAKER_01]: You can find something good about anything, right? 16:29.828 --> 16:30.848 [SPEAKER_01]: You go to a restaurant? 16:32.109 --> 16:33.649 [SPEAKER_01]: You can always find something good. 16:33.909 --> 16:36.249 [SPEAKER_01]: Listen, it's, I don't have time to go there. 16:37.109 --> 16:39.330 [SPEAKER_01]: You know, we have such a complaining culture, though. 16:39.990 --> 16:46.231 [SPEAKER_01]: And much of that is fueled by the 24-7 news media that people feel themselves with all the time. 16:46.791 --> 16:50.392 [SPEAKER_01]: You can't watch a news media broadcast without somebody complaining. 16:52.652 --> 16:56.973 [SPEAKER_01]: You know, arguing and all the stuff in occasionally, you know, I don't watch a bunch of news. 16:57.014 --> 17:01.175 [SPEAKER_01]: I just like to be able to kind of tell a little bit what's going on in the world occasionally. 17:01.655 --> 17:05.476 [SPEAKER_01]: And my wife, she always said, they're only arguing, turn it, praise the Lord. 17:05.816 --> 17:11.038 [SPEAKER_01]: You know, by the way, if you don't argue in your home, you might want to stop watching people argue. 17:14.859 --> 17:16.800 [SPEAKER_01]: Well, thank you for that overwhelming response. 17:17.796 --> 17:19.678 [SPEAKER_01]: People watch it all the time, what you're going to do? 17:19.758 --> 17:22.600 [SPEAKER_01]: You're going to end up that seed, or you follow what I'm saying. 17:22.960 --> 17:24.301 [SPEAKER_01]: And then you're going to stand on guard. 17:24.321 --> 17:26.343 [SPEAKER_01]: And you're just waiting for somebody to say something. 17:26.363 --> 17:28.765 [SPEAKER_01]: Then you've got your fingers ready on Facebook. 17:28.785 --> 17:32.208 [SPEAKER_01]: And if somebody even says anything remotely, they've even sounds like that. 17:32.488 --> 17:33.469 [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, yeah, I'm going to let them. 17:33.809 --> 17:35.230 [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, man, they mess with the bull. 17:35.310 --> 17:39.333 [SPEAKER_01]: Now they're going to get the horns, right? 17:40.975 --> 17:42.336 [SPEAKER_01]: He wouldn't much horns yesterday. 17:52.585 --> 17:53.185 [SPEAKER_01]: Love you, Gary. 17:53.205 --> 17:53.786 [SPEAKER_01]: Praise the Lord. 18:01.449 --> 18:02.310 [SPEAKER_01]: This is what it says. 18:02.330 --> 18:03.670 [SPEAKER_01]: Psalm 78 says this. 18:04.031 --> 18:09.113 [SPEAKER_01]: How often they provoke him in the wilderness and grieved him in the desert. 18:09.953 --> 18:12.775 [SPEAKER_01]: Yes, again, and again, they tempted God. 18:13.155 --> 18:15.616 [SPEAKER_01]: Get this and limited the Holy 18:23.082 --> 18:25.783 [SPEAKER_01]: I don't know about you, but I've had God do some great things within my life. 18:27.064 --> 18:30.045 [SPEAKER_01]: Has anybody here this morning had God do some great things within your life? 18:30.845 --> 18:34.407 [SPEAKER_01]: Have you ever seen God's hand of deliverance, comfort, and do anything? 18:34.647 --> 18:37.308 [SPEAKER_01]: Has anybody ever experienced a miracle here? 18:37.628 --> 18:41.790 [SPEAKER_01]: By the way, if you're saved, that means you've experienced a miracle, amen? 18:42.190 --> 18:44.191 [SPEAKER_01]: We've all experienced the power of God. 18:44.331 --> 18:46.432 [SPEAKER_01]: We've all experienced the anointing of God. 18:46.772 --> 18:48.933 [SPEAKER_01]: I have in our own lives, in our own family. 18:48.973 --> 18:52.175 [SPEAKER_01]: We've had twice the dead has been raised. 18:52.215 --> 18:52.795 [SPEAKER_01]: Hallelujah. 18:53.115 --> 18:55.316 [SPEAKER_01]: My friend, he's the god of the resurrection. 18:55.576 --> 18:57.857 [SPEAKER_01]: I've seen the miracle working power of God. 18:58.077 --> 18:59.718 [SPEAKER_01]: I've seen supernatural. 18:59.758 --> 19:01.779 [SPEAKER_01]: He's, I've seen cancer disappear. 19:02.039 --> 19:03.620 [SPEAKER_01]: I've seen all of those things. 19:03.840 --> 19:07.761 [SPEAKER_01]: In my friend, if he did it, then he will do it again. 19:07.801 --> 19:10.503 [SPEAKER_01]: And he is not a respecter of persons. 19:10.783 --> 19:13.224 [SPEAKER_01]: And if he did it for them, he'll do it for you too. 19:19.934 --> 19:22.015 [SPEAKER_01]: The problem was they didn't remember his power. 19:23.416 --> 19:28.039 [SPEAKER_01]: See they were locked in to where they were at at that given moment. 19:28.639 --> 19:32.302 [SPEAKER_01]: The only thing that they could see is what they were experiencing at that moment. 19:32.942 --> 19:38.926 [SPEAKER_01]: It's bad, it's real bad, it's awful, all how bad it is. 19:39.926 --> 19:41.828 [SPEAKER_01]: They forgot how God delivered them. 19:42.772 --> 19:44.595 [SPEAKER_01]: You know, I only have to look back the 2018. 19:44.816 --> 19:46.378 [SPEAKER_01]: There's other things I could talk about. 19:46.879 --> 19:50.525 [SPEAKER_01]: But I look at where we're at right now, versus where we were in 2018. 19:51.848 --> 19:55.073 [SPEAKER_01]: I don't know if eating view we're here in 2018 after Hurricane Michael. 19:55.732 --> 19:58.553 [SPEAKER_01]: We're coming up of the seven-year anniversary, but I will tell you this much. 19:58.914 --> 20:09.039 [SPEAKER_01]: This building, your house, and this whole community doesn't look like it did on October the 11th, 2018, and aren't you glad of that today? 20:09.719 --> 20:23.666 [SPEAKER_01]: And God turned this community around, and now once they were declaring there were edicts that were being made in Washington, DC, that they were going to close, tindle Air Force Base, you know, but the Lord gave us a word that it would be better 20:25.407 --> 20:38.695 [SPEAKER_01]: He was, we were going to experience the shalam of heaven, and can I tell you, I believe I could line people up right now to give testimonies of how God not only restored what they had, but gave them more than what they had before. 20:39.715 --> 20:40.456 [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, howlinguia! 20:41.888 --> 20:43.349 [SPEAKER_01]: I'm not going to forget about that. 20:44.010 --> 20:45.951 [SPEAKER_01]: You know, that's one of the reasons I talk about it. 20:45.971 --> 20:48.713 [SPEAKER_01]: You know, you got to talk about what God did for you back there. 20:49.073 --> 20:49.293 [SPEAKER_01]: Why? 20:49.333 --> 20:51.995 [SPEAKER_01]: Because that stirs your faith to continue to believe Him. 20:52.356 --> 21:00.562 [SPEAKER_01]: If you forget what God did yesterday, then you will forget, and not you'll lose sight of what He wants to do for you today, right? 21:02.503 --> 21:06.106 [SPEAKER_01]: Jesus said all things are possible to move into the arena. 21:07.190 --> 21:14.998 [SPEAKER_01]: of the impossible becoming a reality you've got to address areas of unbelief and Jesus begins to confront these things. 21:15.038 --> 21:18.341 [SPEAKER_01]: And so the first thing, if you take a note, she won't write this down. 21:18.361 --> 21:22.545 [SPEAKER_01]: The very first thing is this, we already been talking about, and that's just rid yourself of limitations. 21:24.073 --> 21:30.076 [SPEAKER_01]: Again, the Father of the child he asks, if you can do, and Jesus right replied this, if you can believe. 21:30.717 --> 21:33.759 [SPEAKER_01]: Again, the question is not, if he can, it's if we can believe. 21:34.459 --> 21:39.182 [SPEAKER_01]: The lack of faith is rooted in some way or another to limitation. 21:39.802 --> 21:47.026 [SPEAKER_01]: Anytime you put a limit, so in what God can and will do, you are limiting him from doing it within your own life. 21:47.626 --> 21:51.028 [SPEAKER_01]: There are many believers today who are limiting, a limitless God. 21:51.249 --> 21:52.089 [SPEAKER_01]: Look at somebody and say, 21:55.177 --> 21:59.638 [SPEAKER_01]: And the only thing that limits God from working in your life is your own thinking and your own believing. 22:00.818 --> 22:03.199 [SPEAKER_01]: It is not his ability and it's not his willingness. 22:03.239 --> 22:03.899 [SPEAKER_01]: We'll see this. 22:04.559 --> 22:11.221 [SPEAKER_01]: What's very interesting is the word limited that we read, they limited the Holy One of Israel over there in Psalm 78. 22:11.641 --> 22:14.802 [SPEAKER_01]: It literally means, or the root word means to mark out. 22:15.322 --> 22:23.084 [SPEAKER_01]: See, many people are marking out their promises with the limitations of their thinking and their believer believing. 22:24.438 --> 22:31.481 [SPEAKER_01]: You know, I've heard people say this before, well, that's good for them, but that doesn't necessarily mean that it's good for me. 22:32.342 --> 22:38.504 [SPEAKER_01]: And once again, this is a subtle form of limiting what God wants to do within your own life. 22:38.524 --> 22:44.227 [SPEAKER_01]: But what we should be saying is this, if God did it for them, then He will do it for me. 22:45.409 --> 22:48.010 [SPEAKER_01]: not, well, that's good for them, but not for me. 22:48.070 --> 22:51.251 [SPEAKER_01]: No, if God did it for them, then He will do it for me. 22:51.871 --> 22:55.633 [SPEAKER_01]: Do you know of anybody who's ever had a miracle within their life? 22:55.753 --> 22:59.254 [SPEAKER_01]: Hear this, if He did it for them, He will do it for you. 22:59.914 --> 23:10.978 [SPEAKER_01]: Is anybody here right now that you're believing God for a miracle in your life, you're believing God for a breakthrough of something that you actually know somebody who experienced the same thing, anybody here. 23:11.379 --> 23:12.399 [SPEAKER_01]: See, you can say, Lord, 23:12.639 --> 23:16.324 [SPEAKER_01]: If you did it for them, then you will do it for me too, praise God. 23:16.844 --> 23:17.946 [SPEAKER_01]: Why can we say that? 23:18.186 --> 23:20.148 [SPEAKER_01]: It's because God is not here this. 23:20.369 --> 23:21.350 [SPEAKER_01]: He's not partial. 23:21.630 --> 23:22.711 [SPEAKER_01]: He's not prejudiced. 23:22.912 --> 23:23.673 [SPEAKER_01]: He doesn't show. 23:23.713 --> 23:24.874 [SPEAKER_01]: Are you hearing what I'm saying? 23:25.154 --> 23:26.957 [SPEAKER_01]: He's not a respect to repursions. 23:27.017 --> 23:31.042 [SPEAKER_01]: And by the way, whatever God's done for my wife and I, he will do it for you too. 23:31.642 --> 23:36.183 [SPEAKER_01]: And whatever God's done for my mom and daddy got to do it for me too, praise Lord. 23:36.503 --> 23:38.423 [SPEAKER_01]: And they've had miracles within their life. 23:38.463 --> 23:44.124 [SPEAKER_01]: Again, we've got so many people we could line up right now to testify of the miracles that have happened within their lives. 23:44.504 --> 23:50.225 [SPEAKER_01]: You should take hope today to know that God will bring you forth, and God will do some unlimited things. 23:50.325 --> 23:50.665 [SPEAKER_01]: Amen. 23:51.705 --> 23:57.206 [SPEAKER_01]: The Bible says in Proverbs 23 says, as a man thinks so is he. 24:01.688 --> 24:03.489 [SPEAKER_01]: As a man thinks it is heart so easy. 24:03.990 --> 24:09.414 [SPEAKER_01]: So understand this, God can never move beyond the limits of your thinking. 24:10.454 --> 24:15.238 [SPEAKER_01]: God cannot move beyond the limits of your thinking and your believing. 24:15.258 --> 24:22.363 [SPEAKER_01]: And if you've got small thinking and small believing, then you're going to see small things within your life. 24:23.339 --> 24:33.527 [SPEAKER_01]: However, if you've got big thinking and you've got expanded believing, then you're going to see some big expanded and abounding things happen within your life. 24:34.028 --> 24:39.692 [SPEAKER_01]: So the question is not whether or not God is willing or God is able, the real question is this. 24:40.493 --> 24:41.715 [SPEAKER_01]: Are you willing to believe? 24:41.816 --> 24:43.959 [SPEAKER_01]: Are you willing today to take the limits off? 24:44.440 --> 24:48.387 [SPEAKER_01]: Are you willing today to say, God, if you did it for them, you will do it for me? 24:48.668 --> 24:49.830 [SPEAKER_01]: Are you hearing what I'm saying? 24:50.271 --> 24:53.456 [SPEAKER_01]: There are no limits to what God can and will do within our lives. 24:54.595 --> 25:03.938 [SPEAKER_01]: If we would just begin to expand our thinking and our believing, there are many today who believe that God can, but yet they did not believe that He will. 25:03.958 --> 25:04.918 [SPEAKER_01]: And I want you to hear this. 25:05.659 --> 25:11.741 [SPEAKER_01]: Believing that God can do something but not willing is an insult to His character. 25:11.761 --> 25:14.241 [SPEAKER_01]: I'm gonna say it again. 25:14.982 --> 25:21.464 [SPEAKER_01]: Believing God that God can do something but He's not willing to do it is an insult to His character. 25:22.345 --> 25:27.249 [SPEAKER_01]: I want you to hear this, God's willingness is even greater than His ability. 25:30.711 --> 25:31.852 [SPEAKER_01]: Think about it for just a moment. 25:32.152 --> 25:40.319 [SPEAKER_01]: He said, if you being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the Heavenly Father give good things to those who ask, right? 25:41.059 --> 25:41.840 [SPEAKER_01]: So think about this. 25:42.380 --> 25:48.325 [SPEAKER_01]: How many of you have had children that you would have liked to have given them something, but you just didn't have the ability. 25:49.463 --> 25:50.263 [SPEAKER_01]: or you hear what I'm saying? 25:51.024 --> 26:01.709 [SPEAKER_01]: I mean, maybe you want, I think if you ask every parent, every parent, when their kids get married, when they go off, if you have the ability, you'd probably buy them a house, right? 26:03.009 --> 26:03.249 [SPEAKER_01]: Right? 26:05.010 --> 26:06.551 [SPEAKER_01]: All the good fathers and mothers would. 26:07.691 --> 26:07.931 [SPEAKER_01]: Right? 26:08.692 --> 26:10.293 [SPEAKER_01]: Why, you wouldn't want them to have something. 26:10.833 --> 26:11.853 [SPEAKER_01]: You wouldn't just buy them a house. 26:11.913 --> 26:17.236 [SPEAKER_01]: If you had the power, if you were a multi-millionaire, you know, I'm going to make sure that you have somewhere to live. 26:18.083 --> 26:35.139 [SPEAKER_01]: Whenever our kids, when they were growing up and they turned 16, you know, one of the things that we purpose to do, even if it meant that, and we did have to, there was some areas we had to tighten the belt and the areas we had to sacrifice, but you know what, we had the ability and we were going to make sure that our kids had reliable transportation. 26:35.875 --> 26:36.235 [SPEAKER_01]: Okay? 26:36.916 --> 26:41.541 [SPEAKER_01]: Now, if we were to have the ability, but not been willing, then that's a whole other thing. 26:42.282 --> 26:45.065 [SPEAKER_01]: Then that has to do with a heart issue within me. 26:45.545 --> 26:49.549 [SPEAKER_01]: Now, the words, I have the ability to do this, but I'm just not going to do it because I want to do it. 26:49.810 --> 26:51.371 [SPEAKER_01]: I want to use this for myself. 26:51.832 --> 26:53.914 [SPEAKER_01]: Can you see how selfish that would be? 26:54.194 --> 26:56.657 [SPEAKER_01]: Can you see how self-serving that would be? 26:57.233 --> 26:59.775 [SPEAKER_01]: But how many know that God is not that way whatsoever? 27:00.336 --> 27:10.804 [SPEAKER_01]: See His willingness to bless you, His willingness to heal you, His willingness to deliver you, His willingness to prosper you, is even greater than His ability to do so. 27:11.385 --> 27:15.368 [SPEAKER_01]: Listen, we should never question the ability or the willingness of God. 27:15.528 --> 27:17.650 [SPEAKER_01]: Would you look at somebody and say, He's willing. 27:19.582 --> 27:23.064 [SPEAKER_01]: He's not only does God have the ability, but He's willing to do it. 27:23.604 --> 27:27.246 [SPEAKER_01]: The next thing that Jesus said is this, He said, to bring Him to me. 27:28.167 --> 27:32.910 [SPEAKER_01]: Listen, listen to one of the things that you've got to do with every situation, as you've got to give it to Jesus. 27:33.890 --> 27:38.093 [SPEAKER_01]: And listen, if you give it to Jesus, that means this, God's got that, right? 27:38.453 --> 27:39.593 [SPEAKER_01]: God's got this. 27:40.494 --> 27:44.316 [SPEAKER_01]: Means you've got to stop worrying and don't take it back. 27:44.376 --> 27:46.938 [SPEAKER_01]: I find a lot of times people are giving things to Jesus. 27:47.807 --> 27:49.208 [SPEAKER_01]: They give it to him for five minutes. 27:50.249 --> 27:51.370 [SPEAKER_01]: And then they take it back. 27:52.030 --> 27:56.434 [SPEAKER_01]: But what the Bible says, we're to cast all our care upon him for he cares for us. 27:56.994 --> 27:58.976 [SPEAKER_01]: In other words, don't worry about anything. 27:59.576 --> 28:01.878 [SPEAKER_01]: Worry is only faith in reverse. 28:02.599 --> 28:04.180 [SPEAKER_01]: It is negative meditation. 28:04.680 --> 28:07.622 [SPEAKER_01]: It's only believing for what you don't desire. 28:08.103 --> 28:12.767 [SPEAKER_01]: It's only believing God for something that you don't want to see happen within your life. 28:13.527 --> 28:18.350 [SPEAKER_01]: Where he is expectation of the impossible situation, getting worse. 28:19.011 --> 28:23.594 [SPEAKER_01]: Where he care, anxiety, get this, it ties you to natural limits. 28:23.654 --> 28:32.799 [SPEAKER_01]: As a matter of fact, here this, if you're in worry, if you're in fear and you're in anxiety, that means that you are in a place of limiting the Lord. 28:33.060 --> 28:35.261 [SPEAKER_01]: You are living in a box of limitation. 28:35.581 --> 28:38.063 [SPEAKER_01]: It's time to crush that box in the name of Jesus. 28:38.643 --> 28:40.908 [SPEAKER_01]: It's time to say, I'm not going to worry any longer. 28:41.168 --> 28:44.315 [SPEAKER_01]: Listen, your worry isn't going to make the situation any better anyway. 28:44.535 --> 28:48.223 [SPEAKER_01]: Why don't you give it over to Jesus and say, God, you work this out, amen? 28:49.198 --> 28:54.980 [SPEAKER_01]: It's very interesting, I don't know if Kelly Cremors here, but I saw something she posted the other day on Facebook. 28:55.280 --> 28:56.300 [SPEAKER_01]: I thought it was so good. 28:56.340 --> 29:02.302 [SPEAKER_01]: I think it was a quote from somebody else, but it, and I probably won't quote it exactly, but it was basically this. 29:02.722 --> 29:12.265 [SPEAKER_01]: Isn't it amazing how that we could actually trust the Lord with our eternity, but we can't trust him with what we're going through right now in the present. 29:12.405 --> 29:13.746 [SPEAKER_01]: think about that for a moment. 29:14.066 --> 29:20.471 [SPEAKER_01]: Listen, if you can trust him with your eternity, then you certainly ought to be able to trust him with what's going on in your life right now. 29:20.771 --> 29:26.575 [SPEAKER_01]: If he's able to save your soul and deliver you from hell, listen, he'll deliver you from whatever's going on right now. 29:26.695 --> 29:27.296 [SPEAKER_01]: Hallelujah. 29:28.437 --> 29:28.677 [SPEAKER_01]: Amen. 29:30.093 --> 29:34.134 [SPEAKER_01]: Again, we limit the Lord so often with His worry, and His care. 29:34.154 --> 29:40.896 [SPEAKER_01]: So, in fact, Jesus gave the parable of the soul, and He said that the cares of life actually choke out the Word. 29:41.376 --> 29:43.117 [SPEAKER_01]: They keep the Word for producing. 29:43.597 --> 29:48.018 [SPEAKER_01]: Your faith won't grow in the atmosphere of worry and anxiety. 29:48.478 --> 29:54.280 [SPEAKER_01]: Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean or rely on your own understanding. 29:54.320 --> 29:58.341 [SPEAKER_01]: Listen, we live in a day to day where you can't trust the arm of the flesh. 29:59.121 --> 30:07.665 [SPEAKER_01]: And you can't trust man, as a matter of fact, the Bible says, the person who leans to the arm of the flesh and trusts man is actually cursed. 30:07.986 --> 30:14.149 [SPEAKER_01]: And we got a lot of people in the body of Christ that are trusting, man, if I know that guy's going to, he's going to make everything better. 30:14.169 --> 30:20.352 [SPEAKER_01]: And at the end of the day, listen, we got to all realize that unless the Lord builds a house, they that labor labor in vain. 30:20.892 --> 30:29.179 [SPEAKER_01]: only Jesus can fix the soul of man, only Jesus can fix the situations that are going on even within our culture today. 30:29.239 --> 30:30.640 [SPEAKER_01]: Can everybody say amen? 30:30.660 --> 30:33.043 [SPEAKER_01]: He's not just another law. 30:33.403 --> 30:34.484 [SPEAKER_01]: Nothing wrong with these things? 30:34.504 --> 30:36.826 [SPEAKER_01]: Yes, I believe we need godly man. 30:36.886 --> 30:42.771 [SPEAKER_01]: I get leading absolutely 100% but understand this, we don't put our trust in them, right? 30:43.051 --> 30:44.813 [SPEAKER_01]: Listen, you can't put your trust in 30:49.864 --> 30:50.124 [SPEAKER_01]: Right? 30:50.684 --> 30:51.545 [SPEAKER_01]: I can't heal you. 30:52.205 --> 30:55.486 [SPEAKER_01]: I can't deliver you, but I know somebody who can. 30:55.506 --> 30:57.887 [SPEAKER_01]: And that's the reason we keep pointing to him. 30:58.247 --> 31:00.188 [SPEAKER_01]: He's the one that you got to keep your eyes on. 31:00.388 --> 31:01.568 [SPEAKER_01]: Don't keep your eyes on me. 31:01.789 --> 31:02.809 [SPEAKER_01]: Keep your eyes on him. 31:03.769 --> 31:03.989 [SPEAKER_01]: Right? 31:04.289 --> 31:05.650 [SPEAKER_01]: He'll never lead you astray. 31:06.750 --> 31:07.030 [SPEAKER_01]: Amen. 31:08.191 --> 31:09.291 [SPEAKER_01]: Then Jesus goes on to say, 31:14.303 --> 31:16.165 [SPEAKER_01]: You know, it prayer is on an exercise. 31:16.946 --> 31:21.270 [SPEAKER_01]: Prayer is not some type of ritualistic, for a formal thing that we do. 31:21.290 --> 31:24.873 [SPEAKER_01]: I'm gonna give you a very simple definition of prayer. 31:24.893 --> 31:25.394 [SPEAKER_01]: And that is this. 31:25.694 --> 31:28.257 [SPEAKER_01]: Prayer is placing demand on heaven's resources. 31:29.538 --> 31:32.000 [SPEAKER_01]: It's placing a demand on heaven's resources. 31:32.621 --> 31:38.046 [SPEAKER_01]: And by the way, in case you didn't know this, those resources are unlimited. 31:39.096 --> 31:40.777 [SPEAKER_01]: There are unlimited resources. 31:41.477 --> 31:47.720 [SPEAKER_01]: That's the reason that we could boldly say, my God will supply all my need. 31:48.200 --> 31:53.063 [SPEAKER_01]: But according to what, his riches were not Wall Street. 31:54.428 --> 31:56.530 [SPEAKER_01]: Not your bank account, right? 31:56.971 --> 32:02.377 [SPEAKER_01]: Not your business, not your ability to work things out by the sweat of your own brow. 32:03.018 --> 32:07.883 [SPEAKER_01]: But he says that he'll supply all our need according to his riches and glory by Christ Jesus. 32:08.484 --> 32:11.708 [SPEAKER_01]: My friend, you better pitch a trust in the riches and glory, amen. 32:12.989 --> 32:35.414 [SPEAKER_01]: rather than Wall Street and everything else is going on because that's up and down and anybody who's been around for any length of time knows that the manages it cycles it goes up it goes down it's a seesaw you know what goes up must come down I mean it's it's always spinning wheels you know whatever the rest of words are anyway, but that's that's the world economy that's the way that the world works okay 32:36.014 --> 32:37.555 [SPEAKER_01]: Why does the world work that way? 32:37.915 --> 32:43.598 [SPEAKER_01]: One, because the majority of the world is not built their lives upon a solid foundation. 32:44.098 --> 32:47.740 [SPEAKER_01]: But can I tell you whenever you begin to build your life on a solid foundation? 32:48.061 --> 32:50.662 [SPEAKER_01]: There's a stability that comes within your life. 32:50.902 --> 32:52.563 [SPEAKER_01]: There's a steadiness that happens. 32:53.043 --> 32:56.645 [SPEAKER_01]: I tell you, one of the things in my wife, she knows this very well. 32:57.706 --> 33:01.068 [SPEAKER_01]: I have very little patience with unstable people. 33:01.708 --> 33:06.589 [SPEAKER_01]: People that are up and down and all over the place, and how many ever had somebody that like that in your life? 33:07.589 --> 33:12.030 [SPEAKER_01]: Everybody ever... Ain't talking about your spouse, but you had somebody. 33:12.811 --> 33:12.971 [SPEAKER_01]: Right? 33:13.511 --> 33:14.891 [SPEAKER_01]: I mean, did it all over the place? 33:15.791 --> 33:16.311 [SPEAKER_01]: You never know. 33:16.351 --> 33:19.012 [SPEAKER_01]: You know, I mean, they're like, you remember a forest gun? 33:19.272 --> 33:21.032 [SPEAKER_01]: It's like a box of chocolates, you know? 33:22.053 --> 33:23.173 [SPEAKER_01]: You never know what you're going to get? 33:23.933 --> 33:26.174 [SPEAKER_01]: Every time you see them, it's like, oh, man, we're up to flavor. 33:26.214 --> 33:27.354 [SPEAKER_01]: They're not maple today. 33:29.988 --> 33:33.213 [SPEAKER_01]: I don't know what kind of man, that's a sour flavor there right there. 33:34.514 --> 33:37.318 [SPEAKER_01]: And they just never, never, there's no consistency. 33:37.499 --> 33:39.742 [SPEAKER_01]: Listen, whenever you begin to build your life. 33:40.743 --> 33:42.564 [SPEAKER_01]: on the Word of God and His promises. 33:43.125 --> 33:44.926 [SPEAKER_01]: And you begin to take the limits off. 33:45.446 --> 33:47.247 [SPEAKER_01]: And you begin to say, Lord, I'm trusting you. 33:47.347 --> 33:48.128 [SPEAKER_01]: I'm putting my trust. 33:48.528 --> 33:50.309 [SPEAKER_01]: I'm not going to lean to the arm of the flesh. 33:50.689 --> 33:55.412 [SPEAKER_01]: I'm going to place my demand upon heaven's resources, not upon what I can do. 33:55.692 --> 33:58.754 [SPEAKER_01]: Listen, your life perspective begins to change. 33:59.655 --> 33:59.875 [SPEAKER_01]: Amen. 34:02.233 --> 34:05.895 [SPEAKER_01]: Sometimes we get called up in the mechanics of prayer and forget what it really is. 34:06.736 --> 34:10.278 [SPEAKER_01]: And it's merely just Lord, I know your resources are unlimited. 34:10.738 --> 34:16.001 [SPEAKER_01]: And so Lord, I'm believing and I'm trusting you, not what I can do, amen? 34:16.702 --> 34:20.004 [SPEAKER_01]: James said this, you have not because you ask not. 34:21.193 --> 34:23.995 [SPEAKER_01]: Small expectations produce small outcomes. 34:24.715 --> 34:27.237 [SPEAKER_01]: Again, the greatest insult you've heard me say this before. 34:27.457 --> 34:30.339 [SPEAKER_01]: The greatest insult to anyone is a low expectation. 34:30.779 --> 34:35.322 [SPEAKER_01]: Don't you think it insults God whenever you begin to display a low expectation for him? 34:36.736 --> 34:37.277 [SPEAKER_01]: think about it. 34:38.057 --> 34:46.185 [SPEAKER_01]: And listen, if we walk in unbelief and if we walk in limited thinking what we're doing in essence is we are presenting a low expectation to the Lord. 34:46.566 --> 34:48.888 [SPEAKER_01]: Listen, I believe the Lord is saying this, I'm going to say it once again. 34:49.088 --> 34:50.409 [SPEAKER_01]: It's time to take the limits off. 34:51.070 --> 34:52.351 [SPEAKER_01]: It's time to take the limits off. 34:52.632 --> 34:53.873 [SPEAKER_01]: It's time to blow the roof off. 34:54.193 --> 34:56.895 [SPEAKER_01]: It's time to escalate your believing to another level. 34:57.135 --> 35:01.037 [SPEAKER_01]: Why don't you just go ahead and believe for the thing that is impossible for you to do? 35:01.378 --> 35:03.219 [SPEAKER_01]: Listen, if you could do it, then it's possible. 35:03.259 --> 35:10.063 [SPEAKER_01]: But if you begin to believe and put your faith out for things that you know you can't do, here this, God will show up within your life. 35:10.604 --> 35:13.425 [SPEAKER_01]: He's looking in his eyes or going to and fro. 35:13.685 --> 35:20.530 [SPEAKER_01]: And he's just wanting to do something mighty within the hearts of those who hearts are towards him, man. 35:22.878 --> 35:27.760 [SPEAKER_01]: And Mark Ford says this, that Jesus in his own hometown think about this. 35:28.440 --> 35:31.382 [SPEAKER_01]: Jesus in Nazareth, he went to Nazareth to do some ministry. 35:31.822 --> 35:43.987 [SPEAKER_01]: And what it actually says in Mark Ford, the very end, the last verse of Mark chapter four it says this, that Jesus could do no mighty works and he marveled at their unbelief. 35:45.140 --> 35:47.604 [SPEAKER_01]: It didn't say that he wouldn't do any mighty works. 35:48.345 --> 35:49.907 [SPEAKER_01]: It says that he couldn't think about that. 35:50.508 --> 35:53.813 [SPEAKER_01]: Jesus could not do anything in his own hometown. 35:54.374 --> 35:57.759 [SPEAKER_01]: No mighty works, all because of unbelief. 35:57.799 --> 35:58.299 [SPEAKER_01]: You know why? 35:58.319 --> 35:59.381 [SPEAKER_01]: Because of familiarity. 36:00.102 --> 36:03.044 [SPEAKER_01]: They saw Jesus as a carpenter, son, they saw Jesus. 36:03.544 --> 36:05.365 [SPEAKER_01]: I remember Jesus when he was a little boy. 36:05.525 --> 36:09.148 [SPEAKER_01]: I remember Jesus when, hey, I think I had to change his diaper at one time. 36:09.848 --> 36:14.251 [SPEAKER_01]: This is what that was their thinking of Jesus and they were not able to acknowledge it. 36:14.291 --> 36:19.634 [SPEAKER_01]: He was the very son of God and he was the one who held all power within his hands. 36:19.734 --> 36:20.074 [SPEAKER_01]: Amen? 36:21.335 --> 36:24.497 [SPEAKER_01]: Listen, we need to take the limitations off. 36:24.517 --> 36:25.698 [SPEAKER_01]: The last thing is fasting. 36:26.339 --> 36:27.040 [SPEAKER_01]: He said, fasting. 36:27.600 --> 36:33.424 [SPEAKER_01]: No, most of them, whenever I'm closing with this, most of them, when you say fasting, people think it up, okay, I'm not going to eat any food. 36:34.285 --> 36:36.967 [SPEAKER_01]: But listen, what fasting literally means is abstinence. 36:37.607 --> 36:39.508 [SPEAKER_01]: Would you look at somebody and say abstinence? 36:40.849 --> 36:47.914 [SPEAKER_01]: And I'm not talking about sex, I'm talking about abstaining from that, fleshly indulgence, right? 36:48.315 --> 36:50.296 [SPEAKER_01]: abstaining from fleshly indulgence. 36:50.656 --> 36:50.997 [SPEAKER_01]: Here's this. 36:52.046 --> 36:55.728 [SPEAKER_01]: Fleshly things keep many people separated from their miracle. 36:56.588 --> 36:58.789 [SPEAKER_01]: It becomes a distraction within their life. 36:59.690 --> 37:03.532 [SPEAKER_01]: Do you know that the enemy will even use a good thing to distract you many times? 37:04.612 --> 37:08.354 [SPEAKER_01]: You know, we carry a distraction around with us all the time. 37:09.215 --> 37:10.295 [SPEAKER_01]: It's called a cell phone. 37:11.496 --> 37:15.738 [SPEAKER_01]: You know, some of you may have to just turn yourself on off whenever you come to the house of a Lord. 37:16.518 --> 37:28.525 [SPEAKER_01]: And if you have a habit of getting on your phone during service, and I would encourage you to turn that thing off, because at the moment you're getting on the phone maybe the very moment that God's about to release a miracle within your life. 37:29.446 --> 37:34.809 [SPEAKER_01]: And those things begin to distract you here, and distract you there, and distract your thinking, and distract your focus. 37:35.229 --> 37:37.811 [SPEAKER_01]: And that's what the enemy uses in the lives of Christians. 37:37.851 --> 37:39.672 [SPEAKER_01]: I know I'm a good believer, is it love God? 37:40.575 --> 37:42.616 [SPEAKER_01]: You know, and I would just tell you this about you. 37:42.656 --> 37:47.798 [SPEAKER_01]: If you allow those things to become a distraction, you're going to end up missing something along the way. 37:48.378 --> 37:50.959 [SPEAKER_01]: You'll miss out on something that God wants to do for you. 37:51.339 --> 37:54.040 [SPEAKER_01]: I'm not saying you can't should have a phone that's what I'm saying. 37:54.360 --> 37:57.101 [SPEAKER_01]: I'm not saying that you can't have on Facebook or anything like that. 37:57.342 --> 38:02.223 [SPEAKER_01]: But you know what, if you really want healing and deliverance, you might have to get off Facebook for a moment. 38:02.444 --> 38:04.985 [SPEAKER_01]: You might have to shut the TV off for just a moment. 38:05.185 --> 38:06.585 [SPEAKER_01]: You might have to get in the word. 38:06.645 --> 38:07.926 [SPEAKER_01]: Are you hearing what I'm saying? 38:08.826 --> 38:13.469 [SPEAKER_01]: You have to say, I'm willing to put that aside because there's something else that God has for me. 38:13.929 --> 38:19.212 [SPEAKER_01]: I'll abstain from this because that's what's keeping me away from that, Talalooia. 38:20.308 --> 38:32.817 [SPEAKER_01]: Understand this, you're not paying for a miracle, you're not paying for God to do something unlimited in your life, but what you are doing is position yourself to receive what He is pouring out, amen? 38:33.537 --> 38:43.965 [SPEAKER_01]: You know yesterday, whenever we're watching some of the games, there were a couple of times I watched quarterbacks throw some passes and the receivers weren't there and they were out of position. 38:44.940 --> 38:50.947 [SPEAKER_01]: And I saw some folks actually on defense, they actually, they missed, you know, blown coverage. 38:51.828 --> 38:54.611 [SPEAKER_01]: And as a result, they missed their assignment. 38:55.192 --> 39:01.859 [SPEAKER_01]: And so they weren't able to tackle the person that actually ended up scoring and running in the ball for a touchdown. 39:02.660 --> 39:03.681 [SPEAKER_01]: What I'm saying is this. 39:04.703 --> 39:11.531 [SPEAKER_01]: Heaven is always pouring out, but you've got to position yourself in the right place to be able to receive. 39:11.992 --> 39:13.053 [SPEAKER_01]: You've got to see yourself. 39:13.093 --> 39:16.878 [SPEAKER_01]: You're like a receiver running for a pass, and you see you've placed in demand. 39:17.098 --> 39:17.779 [SPEAKER_01]: I'm right here. 39:17.999 --> 39:18.480 [SPEAKER_01]: I'm right here. 39:18.640 --> 39:20.602 [SPEAKER_01]: You've got to be where the ball is thrown. 39:21.183 --> 39:23.004 [SPEAKER_01]: You've got to be where God's pouring it out. 39:23.164 --> 39:24.384 [SPEAKER_01]: You've got to be in the place. 39:24.545 --> 39:28.947 [SPEAKER_01]: You've got to position your heart to receive what God wants to do within your life. 39:29.207 --> 39:38.311 [SPEAKER_01]: And if you're distracted by everything else that's going on in the world, my friend, what's going to end up happening is you're going to miss out on the fullness of what God has for you. 39:38.591 --> 39:38.911 [SPEAKER_01]: Amen? 39:40.572 --> 39:47.235 [SPEAKER_01]: Understand that fasting is not paying for something you want, but it positions you to see the desirable happen. 39:48.120 --> 39:57.910 [SPEAKER_01]: Listen, just because, just because something has never been done before, does not mean that it can't be done, nothing is impossible. 39:58.751 --> 40:04.336 [SPEAKER_01]: The Red Sea had never split until Moses stretched out his rod, hallelujah. 40:05.055 --> 40:09.217 [SPEAKER_01]: Water had never flowed from out of a rock until Moses struck it. 40:09.978 --> 40:15.280 [SPEAKER_01]: Walls had never fallen with a shout until Joshua and the Israelites did it. 40:15.861 --> 40:21.583 [SPEAKER_01]: And I had never flowed it in water until the prophet threw a stick in the water. 40:21.744 --> 40:22.224 [SPEAKER_01]: Amen? 40:22.944 --> 40:28.549 [SPEAKER_01]: No one had ever killed a giant named Goliath with a sling in his stone until David did it. 40:28.990 --> 40:34.895 [SPEAKER_01]: My friend, God delights and doing some impossible situations, but we got to take the limits off today. 40:35.235 --> 40:37.317 [SPEAKER_01]: I don't know about you, but I'm taking the limits off. 40:37.597 --> 40:39.599 [SPEAKER_01]: I'm saying, God, I'm taking every limit off. 40:40.160 --> 40:44.303 [SPEAKER_01]: I'm not going to walk in unbelief, doubt, fear, worry, or any of those things any longer. 40:44.583 --> 40:47.126 [SPEAKER_01]: Lord, I choose to believe you would you stand to your feet. 40:47.672 --> 40:49.673 [SPEAKER_00]: Thanks again for downloading this podcast. 40:49.713 --> 40:53.514 [SPEAKER_00]: We trust that this message has blessed and encouraged and identified you. 40:53.994 --> 40:57.675 [SPEAKER_00]: Make sure you subscribe so you never miss a message here from Highbraze. 40:58.176 --> 41:06.138 [SPEAKER_00]: Also, you can follow us on social media, on Facebook and on Instagram, and don't forget to go subscribe to our YouTube channel. 41:06.758 --> 41:08.979 [SPEAKER_00]: We'll be back soon with another incredible message. 41:09.139 --> 41:10.900 [SPEAKER_00]: God bless you and have a great week.
