Taffi: We are so gladto have you with us.
00:01:49.856 --> 00:01:51.324
You know, it's sucha critical time,
00:01:51.357 --> 00:01:53.560
that we are intentional aboutdepositing the Word of God into
00:01:53.593 --> 00:01:57.063
our lives.
00:01:57.096 --> 00:01:59.566
There's so much that's goingon, so many opportunities to
00:01:59.599 --> 00:02:01.701
be distracted.
00:02:01.734 --> 00:02:04.037
And you know what?
00:02:04.070 --> 00:02:06.339
I think this is one of the mostimportant things that we can do
00:02:06.372 --> 00:02:08.675
for our mental health, for ourspiritual health, emotional
00:02:08.708 --> 00:02:11.077
health, social health, financialhealth, is to be able to deposit
00:02:11.110 --> 00:02:14.681
the Word of God, the peace ofGod, the life of God, the zóé
00:02:14.714 --> 00:02:19.652
kind of life onthe inside of us.
00:02:19.686 --> 00:02:22.388
So, if you would, join me withprayer and let's just go
00:02:22.422 --> 00:02:24.490
before God.
00:02:24.524 --> 00:02:26.893
And, Father, we just comebefore you right now.
00:02:26.926 --> 00:02:29.529
We just thank you for all thatyou've made available for us
00:02:29.562 --> 00:02:31.598
from the foundationsof the world.
00:02:31.631 --> 00:02:34.000
We know that it is you that welive and breathe and have
00:02:34.033 --> 00:02:36.202
our being.
00:02:36.236 --> 00:02:38.771
Father, we just thank youfor today, that you've made
00:02:38.805 --> 00:02:40.773
everything available for us thatpertains to life and godliness,
00:02:40.807 --> 00:02:43.376
and so we enter in by gracethrough faith and we lay hold of
00:02:43.409 --> 00:02:47.113
it right now, Father.
00:02:47.146 --> 00:02:49.382
And so, we pray for thosewho have authority over us.
00:02:49.415 --> 00:02:51.651
We pray for our president, vicepresident, every elected--every
00:02:51.684 --> 00:02:55.121
appointed official.
00:02:55.154 --> 00:02:57.257
We lift them up to you nowthat we may lead a quiet and
00:02:57.290 --> 00:02:59.692
peaceable life in allgodliness and all honesty.
00:02:59.726 --> 00:03:02.462
You said that this is good andthis is acceptable unto you, so
00:03:02.495 --> 00:03:05.865
we just thank you that you havethe heart of the king in your
00:03:05.898 --> 00:03:09.235
hand to fulfill your will and noweapon formed against us
00:03:09.269 --> 00:03:12.472
shall prosper.
00:03:12.505 --> 00:03:14.874
And this nation belongs untoyou, and we speak peace and
00:03:14.907 --> 00:03:17.877
grace in Jesus' name.
00:03:17.910 --> 00:03:20.380
And all that agree said amen.
00:03:20.413 --> 00:03:23.149
Well, I have been talking somehere about this subject of
00:03:23.182 --> 00:03:26.653
"Right Place, Right Time," andI wanna continue on this today.
00:03:26.686 --> 00:03:31.090
I just believe that some thingsthat have been said and things
00:03:31.124 --> 00:03:34.594
that will be shared today willeven provide more clarity,
00:03:34.627 --> 00:03:38.298
provide more insight, moredirection, and so who would not
00:03:38.331 --> 00:03:42.802
want to be in the rightplace at the right time?
00:03:42.835 --> 00:03:46.506
Who wouldn't want to experienceGod's best for their lives?
00:03:46.539 --> 00:03:50.877
You know, this teachingis not about luck.
00:03:50.910 --> 00:03:53.880
This teaching isn'tabout fate or chance.
00:03:53.913 --> 00:03:56.983
This teaching is about operatingin the plan of God and knowing
00:03:57.016 --> 00:04:00.753
God's master plan so that he canlead us from the inside out, and
00:04:00.787 --> 00:04:04.857
we can know what it means to bewhere he wants us to be so that
00:04:04.891 --> 00:04:10.330
we can experience his face andsee his presence on our lives in
00:04:10.363 --> 00:04:14.667
a very tangible anda practical way.
00:04:14.701 --> 00:04:17.470
And so, in the last two to threesessions, I think it's been,
00:04:17.503 --> 00:04:21.007
we've looked at several biblicalcharacters, and we studied their
00:04:21.040 --> 00:04:26.145
lives, and we've looked athow their examples have really
00:04:26.179 --> 00:04:31.250
connected with this subject andconnected with this teaching, so
00:04:31.284 --> 00:04:35.421
I won't, you know, go down thosesame characters that we used in
00:04:35.455 --> 00:04:39.425
the past, but we'll move forwardin a way where we can really get
00:04:39.459 --> 00:04:44.097
concept and look at somemore practical things.
00:04:44.130 --> 00:04:47.233
And so, as I said last time,I was really focusing in on us
00:04:47.266 --> 00:04:50.603
opening ourselves up to Godpossibilities, so I want you
00:04:50.636 --> 00:04:54.107
right now to just lean in withyour faith and say, "I'm opening
00:04:54.140 --> 00:04:58.077
myself up to God possibilities."
00:04:58.111 --> 00:05:01.748
Because if we don'topen ourselves up to God
00:05:01.781 --> 00:05:04.217
possibilities, we'll continueto see things as impossible,
00:05:04.250 --> 00:05:07.720
because with man, the Scripturesays, things are impossible,
00:05:07.754 --> 00:05:11.224
with the doctors.
00:05:11.257 --> 00:05:13.826
Things are impossible withthe creditors, you know?
00:05:13.860 --> 00:05:16.562
Things are impossible when itcomes to things going on in the
00:05:16.596 --> 00:05:20.032
physical body, but thank God,well, he has declared for us and
00:05:20.066 --> 00:05:25.071
through his Word that allthings are possible through him.
00:05:25.104 --> 00:05:28.274
And so, that's what we wanna do.
00:05:28.307 --> 00:05:30.510
We wanna dissolve the negativelimitations, the unbelief that
00:05:30.543 --> 00:05:35.148
keeps us in the place of fear, aplace of not experiencing God's
00:05:35.181 --> 00:05:41.053
best, and to create a newnarrative, to tell a new story,
00:05:41.087 --> 00:05:45.458
and to begin to rewrite whatGod's destiny is for our life.
00:05:45.491 --> 00:05:51.431
And so, we know that thesethings are so very, very, very
00:05:51.464 --> 00:05:55.701
important for us, and so let'sbegin today in the book of
00:05:55.735 --> 00:06:01.474
Ecclesiastes chapter 9.
00:06:01.507 --> 00:06:05.978
Ecclesiastes chapter 9, verse11, and this is where we get
00:06:06.012 --> 00:06:09.615
this subject "Right Place,Right Time," "Right Place, Right
00:06:09.649 --> 00:06:15.254
Time," because it mentionsthe use of the word
00:06:15.288 --> 00:06:20.693
"qarah," Q-A-R-A-H.
00:06:20.726 --> 00:06:23.429
Q-A-R-A-H is a Hebrew word whichis used in Ecclesiastes chapter
00:06:23.463 --> 00:06:28.234
9, verse 11, and it is theHebrew word for the English word
00:06:28.267 --> 00:06:34.407
"happeneth," and so let's lookat--let's look at what it says
00:06:34.440 --> 00:06:39.378
here in the King James Version.
00:06:39.412 --> 00:06:43.382
Let's look at the King JamesVersion because I know that is
00:06:43.416 --> 00:06:47.053
one of the original text.
00:06:47.086 --> 00:06:50.356
So, it says in verse 11, "Ireturned, and saw under the sun,
00:06:50.389 --> 00:06:53.960
that the race is not to theswift, nor the battle to the
00:06:53.993 --> 00:06:56.996
strong, nor yet bread to thewise, nor yet riches to men of
00:06:57.029 --> 00:07:02.768
understanding, nor yet favorto men of skill; but time and
00:07:02.802 --> 00:07:10.943
chance happeneth to them all."
00:07:10.977 --> 00:07:16.048
Time and chance, theScripture says here.
00:07:16.082 --> 00:07:19.585
Happeneth is the word "qarah,"Q-A-R-A-H, in the Hebrew, which
00:07:19.619 --> 00:07:25.424
means right placeand right time.
00:07:25.458 --> 00:07:30.496
So, this word meansGod appointments.
00:07:30.530 --> 00:07:34.467
In other words, things that areorchestrated by God Almighty.
00:07:34.500 --> 00:07:39.472
God sets up appointments forus and for those who he loves.
00:07:39.505 --> 00:07:44.677
That word in the Hebrewmeans to encounter.
00:07:44.710 --> 00:07:48.881
Happeneth.
00:07:48.915 --> 00:07:51.450
That word means to encounter, tomeet, to befall, happen, come to
00:07:51.484 --> 00:07:57.256
encounter, and it alsomeans to be present.
00:07:57.290 --> 00:08:03.529
And so, when we look at thisword "happenings" here in the
00:08:03.563 --> 00:08:09.068
Hebrew, which is the number7136, we understand that we're
00:08:09.101 --> 00:08:13.773
talking about God happenings.
00:08:13.806 --> 00:08:16.776
God happenings are availablefor each and every one of his
00:08:16.809 --> 00:08:20.680
children and as you become hischild he makes opportunities
00:08:20.713 --> 00:08:25.885
that are orchestrated by him,orchestrated to experience his
00:08:25.918 --> 00:08:31.023
favor, opportunities where hisgrace will shine upon you and
00:08:31.057 --> 00:08:35.428
cause you to experiencethe best for your life.
00:08:35.461 --> 00:08:39.899
And, you know, it's not by luck.
00:08:39.932 --> 00:08:43.202
It's not by fate.
00:08:43.235 --> 00:08:45.638
It's not by chance.
00:08:45.671 --> 00:08:48.441
It's by the grace of God.
00:08:48.474 --> 00:08:50.977
It's by his grace coming on yourlife, and he causes things to
00:08:51.010 --> 00:08:53.813
happen on your behalf.
00:08:53.846 --> 00:08:56.682
I'm talking about where Godintervenes and his power becomes
00:08:56.716 --> 00:09:00.953
evident in your life, to thepoint that you have an encounter
00:09:00.987 --> 00:09:05.224
and you know that it's nothingbut the grace of God that gives
00:09:05.257 --> 00:09:10.296
credit to what is takingplace in a person's life.
00:09:10.329 --> 00:09:15.067
And so, this teaching, Ipray that you'll just be more
00:09:15.101 --> 00:09:19.071
conscientious and morecognizant of God happenings.
00:09:19.105 --> 00:09:25.077
He says we have this opportunityto experience these God
00:09:25.111 --> 00:09:29.348
happenings, these God encountersas we are led by the Spirit of
00:09:29.382 --> 00:09:33.619
God and we allow our steps tobe ordered and our steps to be
00:09:33.653 --> 00:09:39.291
directed by him, so we have tomake up in our mind that these
00:09:39.325 --> 00:09:45.831
God moments have to be seized.
00:09:45.865 --> 00:09:49.035
We have to grab them.
00:09:49.068 --> 00:09:52.004
Grace makes, and faith takes.
00:09:52.038 --> 00:09:54.974
We seize what grace hasmade available for us.
00:09:55.007 --> 00:09:58.711
I mentioned on the last time howRuth had a moment where she sees
00:09:58.744 --> 00:10:02.882
the opportunity, and there weretimes in Jesus's life, in his
00:10:02.915 --> 00:10:08.554
ministry, where there wereappointments, and as a result
00:10:08.587 --> 00:10:12.792
people's lives were changed.
00:10:12.825 --> 00:10:15.961
And so, these are God happeningsthat I believe that are
00:10:15.995 --> 00:10:18.397
available to take place inyour life, in your job, in your
00:10:18.431 --> 00:10:22.635
family, in your business.
00:10:22.668 --> 00:10:26.772
God happenings are availablefor each and every one of us.
00:10:26.806 --> 00:10:31.477
He says, "They'reavailable for them all."
00:10:31.510 --> 00:10:34.613
And so, when we understand thesource and we understand that
00:10:34.647 --> 00:10:38.951
God is the reason why we livethis life and we wanna discover
00:10:38.984 --> 00:10:44.123
his plan for our lives, thenour lives will begin to be
00:10:44.156 --> 00:10:47.993
orchestrated by him, and ourminds will be in line with
00:10:48.027 --> 00:10:53.866
taking steps anddirections for him.
00:10:53.899 --> 00:10:58.204
But, you know, we have tounderstand that these things
00:10:58.237 --> 00:11:01.674
have to be intentionalin our life.
00:11:01.707 --> 00:11:04.176
Things don't just happen, butwhen we begin to recognize that
00:11:04.210 --> 00:11:08.714
we're going to depend on God andthat we're gonna allow his steps
00:11:08.748 --> 00:11:12.618
to be the direction for ourlives, then things will begin to
00:11:12.651 --> 00:11:16.889
come in line and come to pass.
00:11:16.922 --> 00:11:20.159
So, you have to make up in yourmind and you have to decide that
00:11:20.192 --> 00:11:23.629
you're going to just put asideall negative, as I said earlier,
00:11:23.662 --> 00:11:27.600
limiting beliefs about whereyou're gonna live, where you
00:11:27.633 --> 00:11:30.803
work, kind of opportunitiesthat are available, and to open
00:11:30.836 --> 00:11:33.839
yourself up to God possibility.
00:11:33.873 --> 00:11:37.309
Say that with me again, "I openmyself to God possibilities."
00:11:37.343 --> 00:11:43.249
And I just agree with youthat the perfect, satisfying
00:11:43.282 --> 00:11:50.055
situations will come into yourlife and to manifest in
00:11:50.089 --> 00:11:55.327
your life.
00:11:55.361 --> 00:11:58.030
Now, let's look at what thissays in Proverbs chapter 16,
00:11:58.063 --> 00:12:01.433
verse 9.
00:12:01.467 --> 00:12:03.669
The book of Proverbs chapter 16.
00:12:03.702 --> 00:12:06.839
We wanna look at a coupleof translations here.
00:12:06.872 --> 00:12:09.742
I mean, I brought The Message.
00:12:09.775 --> 00:12:12.912
We've got the NLT.
00:12:12.945 --> 00:12:16.348
I've got my Mirror Bible.
00:12:16.382 --> 00:12:19.051
We got so many swords up here,and we are ready for war, and we
00:12:19.084 --> 00:12:23.255
are ready to operate in thebest that God has for our lives.
00:12:23.289 --> 00:12:29.128
And so, we can just look atthe New International Version.
00:12:29.161 --> 00:12:34.767
So, it says, "In their heartshumans plan their course, but
00:12:34.800 --> 00:12:42.842
the Lord establishestheir steps."
00:12:42.875 --> 00:12:47.346
I'll read that again.
00:12:47.379 --> 00:12:50.049
"In their hearts--"
00:12:50.082 --> 00:12:52.585
In our heart of hearts we planour course for our career, for
00:12:52.618 --> 00:12:55.120
our family, for what we're goingto do, where we're gonna live,
00:12:55.154 --> 00:12:58.090
how we're gonna live, but hesays the Lord, he establishes
00:12:58.123 --> 00:13:03.395
our steps.
00:13:03.429 --> 00:13:06.699
So, regardless of how muchplanning that we do, you
00:13:06.732 --> 00:13:09.568
know what?
00:13:09.602 --> 00:13:11.737
It still goes back to theLord establishing your steps.
00:13:11.770 --> 00:13:15.107
Look at what it says herein The Message translation.
00:13:15.140 --> 00:13:18.410
Look at it from TheMessage version.
00:13:18.444 --> 00:13:21.780
"We plan the waywe want to live--"
00:13:21.814 --> 00:13:26.418
And we do that.
00:13:26.452 --> 00:13:28.921
"We plan the way we want tolive, but only God makes us able
00:13:28.954 --> 00:13:35.427
to live it."
00:13:35.461 --> 00:13:38.264
Only God makes us havethe ability to live.
00:13:38.297 --> 00:13:45.271
So, you can do all the planningand all the directives and so
00:13:45.304 --> 00:13:51.744
forth and so on,but you know what?
00:13:51.777 --> 00:13:54.546
It still goes back to God, whoenables us to have breath, life,
00:13:54.580 --> 00:14:00.586
and the ability to live it.
00:14:00.619 --> 00:14:04.523
Now, look at thiseasy-reading version.
00:14:04.556 --> 00:14:07.026
"People can plan whatthey want to do--"
00:14:07.059 --> 00:14:10.129
And we do.
00:14:10.162 --> 00:14:12.598
"People can plan what they wantto do, but it is the Lord who
00:14:12.631 --> 00:14:15.834
guides their steps."
00:14:15.868 --> 00:14:19.939
And so, I read that to say thatwe are still going to have to
00:14:19.972 --> 00:14:25.544
recognize that it all goes backto his direction and what he has
00:14:25.577 --> 00:14:30.516
arranged for us from thefoundations of the world, and so
00:14:30.549 --> 00:14:38.891
let's look at some things hereas we open ourselves up to
00:14:38.924 --> 00:14:42.027
God possibilities.
00:14:42.061 --> 00:14:44.363
Look over at Matthewchapter 19, verse 26.
00:14:44.396 --> 00:14:47.866
Matthew 19:26 in theNew Living Translation.
00:14:47.900 --> 00:14:52.771
I like this Scripture becauseyou've got to understand that
00:14:52.805 --> 00:14:56.675
there are so many limitationsin the world today on your
00:14:56.709 --> 00:15:01.680
financial affairs, limitationson your job, perhaps how much
00:15:01.714 --> 00:15:07.286
you can make or how much ofa career jump you can make in
00:15:07.319 --> 00:15:13.726
terms of your career path.
00:15:13.759 --> 00:15:16.962
There may be limitations just,you know, of where you came from
00:15:16.996 --> 00:15:22.001
and how you can live andwhat type of neighborhood or
00:15:22.034 --> 00:15:26.338
community that you qualify tolive in, but you know what?
00:15:26.372 --> 00:15:32.378
God, he has a way of dealingwith all of that, and so look at
00:15:32.411 --> 00:15:37.216
what it says here.
00:15:37.249 --> 00:15:40.219
"Jesus looked at them intentlyand said, 'Humanly speaking, it
00:15:40.252 --> 00:15:47.426
is impossible.
00:15:47.459 --> 00:15:51.463
But with God everythingis possible.'"
00:15:51.497 --> 00:15:57.803
So, like I said earlier, you,child of God, must open yourself
00:15:57.836 --> 00:16:03.175
to all of God's possibilities.
00:16:03.208 --> 00:16:08.013
Everything is possible with God,and so we, today, we make up in
00:16:08.047 --> 00:16:14.219
our minds that we open ourselvesup to God possibilities.
00:16:14.253 --> 00:16:19.691
Look at what it says in TheMessage and the ERV translation.
00:16:19.725 --> 00:16:24.096
The Message says, "Jesus lookedhard at them and said, 'No
00:16:24.129 --> 00:16:27.766
chance at all if you thinkyou can pull it off yourself.
00:16:27.800 --> 00:16:35.741
Every chance in the world if youtrust God to do it,'" because,
00:16:35.774 --> 00:16:42.047
you know, we think in this lifethat we can pull it all
00:16:42.081 --> 00:16:45.150
off ourselves.
00:16:45.184 --> 00:16:48.353
We think that we can make allthese decisions and we can come
00:16:48.387 --> 00:16:51.824
up with this great plan, andhow we're gonna accomplish this
00:16:51.857 --> 00:16:57.329
thing in 30 days, and we'regonna accomplish this in 90
00:16:57.362 --> 00:17:00.399
days, and after 6 months we'regonna do this, and after 12
00:17:00.432 --> 00:17:03.802
months we're gonna be here.
00:17:03.836 --> 00:17:06.538
"After three years,I'll be here."
00:17:06.572 --> 00:17:09.475
"After five years,we'll be here."
00:17:09.508 --> 00:17:12.211
So, he says you think that youcan do all these things, but you
00:17:12.244 --> 00:17:16.782
know what?
00:17:16.815 --> 00:17:19.284
God can do more.
00:17:19.318 --> 00:17:21.854
God can do so much more.
00:17:21.887 --> 00:17:25.023
And so, the other translationsays, "This is something that
00:17:25.057 --> 00:17:28.026
people cannot do.
00:17:28.060 --> 00:17:30.662
But God can do anything."
00:17:30.696 --> 00:17:33.198
And I believe that for yourlife, that God can do anything
00:17:33.232 --> 00:17:35.868
for your life, so I want you tomake up your mind today that God
00:17:35.901 --> 00:17:39.471
is your unfailing,unlimited source of supply.
00:17:39.505 --> 00:17:44.710
I want you to be in agreementthat, you know, your financial
00:17:44.743 --> 00:17:48.647
portfolio, your financialaffairs, your domestic affairs,
00:17:48.680 --> 00:17:54.319
everything concerning theaffairs of your life, that they
00:17:54.353 --> 00:17:58.557
will be overtaken bythe blessings of God.
00:17:58.590 --> 00:18:02.060
And open yourself upto God possibilities.
00:18:02.094 --> 00:18:05.097
Open yourself up beyondwhat your employer says.
00:18:05.130 --> 00:18:09.268
Open yourself up to beyond whatthe doctor says, beyond what the
00:18:09.301 --> 00:18:14.339
creditor said.
00:18:14.373 --> 00:18:16.975
You know, when Creflo and Ifirst got married and, you know,
00:18:17.009 --> 00:18:20.012
we were in our little apartmentand we started talking about
00:18:20.045 --> 00:18:23.615
moving from the apartment andwanting to see what else we
00:18:23.649 --> 00:18:29.288
could purchase and move intoand started thinking about, you
00:18:29.321 --> 00:18:35.194
know, townhouse, a condo, andwhat we could purchase or--we
00:18:35.227 --> 00:18:39.765
had all rentedfurniture at the time.
00:18:39.798 --> 00:18:42.801
Everything was rented.
00:18:42.834 --> 00:18:45.170
We were renting the apartment.
00:18:45.204 --> 00:18:46.939
We were renting our furniture.
00:18:46.972 --> 00:18:49.074
We were renting our appliances.
00:18:49.107 --> 00:18:51.009
We were, you know,renting our cars.
00:18:51.043 --> 00:18:53.178
We were renting everything, andso you have to think, "Okay,
00:18:53.212 --> 00:18:55.581
well, is it possible that wecannot continue to be renters
00:18:55.614 --> 00:18:59.518
but we could possibly be owners?
00:18:59.551 --> 00:19:03.088
Where we could own our place.
00:19:03.121 --> 00:19:05.891
We could purchase a place."
00:19:05.924 --> 00:19:08.694
And you know what?
00:19:08.727 --> 00:19:10.729
They told us--they said, "Youguys will never be able to
00:19:10.762 --> 00:19:13.098
purchase or own anything,because," he said, "you guys are
00:19:13.131 --> 00:19:15.601
high users of credit."
00:19:15.634 --> 00:19:18.003
I didn't know what that was.
00:19:18.036 --> 00:19:20.138
Because we were dependent uponcredit, we had so much credit
00:19:20.172 --> 00:19:22.608
that we were not qualifyingto be able to own or purchase
00:19:22.641 --> 00:19:28.280
anything, and so we just stoodon the Word of God, because I'll
00:19:28.313 --> 00:19:33.352
never forget that creditor.
00:19:33.385 --> 00:19:36.488
She says, "It willnever happen to you.
00:19:36.521 --> 00:19:38.890
It will never happen for you."
00:19:38.924 --> 00:19:41.159
But you know what?
00:19:41.193 --> 00:19:43.228
We didn't think in line withwhat she said, because we relied
00:19:43.262 --> 00:19:45.163
on that Scripture that saidthat, you know, with men things
00:19:45.197 --> 00:19:47.566
are possible--impossible, youknow, because of our credit
00:19:47.599 --> 00:19:52.671
score and because of the amountof credit that we had at that
00:19:52.704 --> 00:19:56.008
time, but with God, he'll causethe favor to come on our life.
00:19:56.041 --> 00:20:03.448
They said we were denied forthe loan, but you know what?
00:20:03.482 --> 00:20:06.285
You just allow God to be thefinal authority in your life.
00:20:06.318 --> 00:20:11.390
Allow him to be the unlimitedsource of your supply.
00:20:11.423 --> 00:20:15.994
Look at what it says herein Deuteronomy 28, verse 12.
00:20:16.028 --> 00:20:20.299
Turn over toDeuteronomy in the NIV.
00:20:20.332 --> 00:20:24.803
Deuteronomy 28, verse 12.
00:20:24.836 --> 00:20:29.708
Or maybe this is verse 2.
00:20:29.741 --> 00:20:33.211
Let's look at verse 2 first.
00:20:33.245 --> 00:20:35.447
I think that's verse 2.
00:20:35.480 --> 00:20:38.283
"All these blessings will comeon you and over--and accompany
00:20:38.317 --> 00:20:43.455
you if you obeythe Lord your God."
00:20:43.488 --> 00:20:49.628
And that's what happens.
00:20:49.661 --> 00:20:52.164
When we receive Jesus as ourLord and as our Savior and we
00:20:52.197 --> 00:20:54.933
get into covenant with God,Abraham's blessings come
00:20:54.966 --> 00:20:58.570
over us.
00:20:58.603 --> 00:21:01.340
They accompany us, and theyovertake us, so it doesn't
00:21:01.373 --> 00:21:04.876
matter what that womansaid at the bank.
00:21:04.910 --> 00:21:07.412
She was just doing her job andtelling us based on the criteria
00:21:07.446 --> 00:21:10.615
and the qualifications or whatwas on paper, but you know what?
00:21:10.649 --> 00:21:14.820
You know what?
00:21:14.853 --> 00:21:17.322
We knew God.
00:21:17.356 --> 00:21:19.558
She didn't havethe final say-so.
00:21:19.591 --> 00:21:21.626
She was supposed to give thefacts, but you know what?
00:21:21.660 --> 00:21:23.995
God has the truth, and God wasable to cause his blessings to
00:21:24.029 --> 00:21:28.734
come on us and cause us toexperience his goodness, so you
00:21:28.767 --> 00:21:35.707
have to make up in your mindthat you are well able to
00:21:35.741 --> 00:21:39.344
possess all that Godhas provided for you.
00:21:39.378 --> 00:21:43.982
And that the Scripture saysthat he opens unto us his good
00:21:44.015 --> 00:21:47.986
treasure, and he blesses thework of your hand, and he causes
00:21:48.019 --> 00:21:52.457
you to experience his good.
00:21:52.491 --> 00:21:56.228
And so, when we look at thesethings, we understand that all
00:21:56.261 --> 00:22:00.031
hindrances and obstacles to ourfinancial prosperity will
00:22:00.065 --> 00:22:05.103
be dissolved.
00:22:05.137 --> 00:22:08.440
Just make up in your mind thatthings that were trying to block
00:22:08.473 --> 00:22:11.176
you, things that may be in yourway, hurdles, obstacles, God
00:22:11.209 --> 00:22:16.715
will move them out of the way,just like God did with
00:22:16.748 --> 00:22:20.519
our situation.
00:22:20.552 --> 00:22:23.622
You know, the things that werekeeping us from being qualified,
00:22:23.655 --> 00:22:27.159
God just moved it and said, "I'mgonna bless my children and give
00:22:27.192 --> 00:22:32.130
them the desiresof their heart," amen.
00:22:32.164 --> 00:22:37.536
Look over at Ephesians chapter4, verse 23 in the Easy-Reading
00:22:37.569 --> 00:22:43.642
Version.
00:22:43.675 --> 00:22:45.977
Easy-Reading Version, becauseI believe that there are
00:22:46.011 --> 00:22:50.515
God happenings, that there areGod happenings, just like they
00:22:50.549 --> 00:22:55.353
happened for Ruth and Boaz whenshe met the right person, and
00:22:55.387 --> 00:23:02.260
how there are God happenings inyour career, in your
00:23:02.294 --> 00:23:07.899
relationships, in your life ingeneral, so don't be discouraged
00:23:07.933 --> 00:23:13.371
today by others andby what they say.
00:23:13.405 --> 00:23:18.109
Let them say what they needto say, but God has the
00:23:18.143 --> 00:23:21.780
final say-so.
00:23:21.813 --> 00:23:25.083
And so, we have to look at someScriptures here, and we're gonna
00:23:25.116 --> 00:23:30.589
look at an example over inJohn 21 when we finish, but the
00:23:30.622 --> 00:23:34.426
Scripture says here, "You mustbe made new in your hearts and
00:23:34.459 --> 00:23:42.167
in your thinking."
00:23:42.200 --> 00:23:45.403
So, if you want to get overinto a place to experience God
00:23:45.437 --> 00:23:49.674
possibilities, you gotta geta new program on the inside.
00:23:49.708 --> 00:23:54.012
You gotta take thatold program out.
00:23:54.045 --> 00:23:57.082
You gotta take that old softwareout that thinks negative, thinks
00:23:57.115 --> 00:23:59.718
fear, thinks less, thinksunworthy, thinks unqualified.
00:23:59.751 --> 00:24:03.321
You gotta take that out and putin your new heart and put in
00:24:03.355 --> 00:24:08.226
new thinking.
00:24:08.260 --> 00:24:10.462
And so, he says you must be madenew in your hearts, and you must
00:24:10.495 --> 00:24:14.199
program your spirit for success.
