Broadcast of the gospel truth.
00:00:14.370 --> 00:00:16.773
Today is the end of my teaching
00:00:16.773 --> 00:00:19.042
On don't limit god. i tell you
00:00:19.042 --> 00:00:21.611
There is a lot more i could say
00:00:21.611 --> 00:00:23.079
About this. this book goes into
00:00:23.079 --> 00:00:24.781
More detail than what i've done
00:00:24.781 --> 00:00:26.416
Here on my tv program, but today
00:00:26.416 --> 00:00:28.618
Is my last day. we've also
00:00:28.618 --> 00:00:30.386
Got two little booklets
00:00:30.386 --> 00:00:31.721
That i'm giving away. one of
00:00:31.721 --> 00:00:32.589
Them is take the limits off of
00:00:32.589 --> 00:00:33.823
God, and this is believing
00:00:33.823 --> 00:00:35.925
Is seeing, and this is teaching
00:00:35.925 --> 00:00:37.594
About the imagination.
00:00:37.594 --> 00:00:38.995
That's just a portion of what
00:00:38.995 --> 00:00:40.997
This teaching on don't
00:00:40.997 --> 00:00:42.198
Limit god is about. and so
00:00:42.198 --> 00:00:43.633
I've been talking about
00:00:43.633 --> 00:00:44.300
A lot of things. the last
00:00:44.300 --> 00:00:45.668
Few days i've been talking about
00:00:45.735 --> 00:00:47.237
Few days i've been talking about the power of imagination, the
00:00:47.303 --> 00:00:49.539
The power of imagination, the ability to see something with
00:00:49.606 --> 00:00:51.574
Ability to see something with your heart that you can't see
00:00:51.641 --> 00:00:53.476
Your heart that you can't see with your eyes. and
00:00:53.543 --> 00:00:55.478
I used isaiah 26:3,
00:00:55.545 --> 00:00:57.413
I used isaiah 26:3, where it says, the lord
00:00:57.480 --> 00:00:58.414
Where it says, the lord will keep him in perfect
00:00:58.481 --> 00:00:59.616
Will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed upon
00:00:59.682 --> 00:01:01.351
Peace, whose mind is stayed upon him. the word mind
00:01:01.417 --> 00:01:02.252
There is the hebrew
00:01:02.318 --> 00:01:03.553
There is the hebrew word yetser, y-e-t-s-e-r,
00:01:03.620 --> 00:01:06.923
Word yetser, y-e-t-s-e-r, and it means conception or
00:01:06.990 --> 00:01:08.925
And it means conception or purpose. and it was translated
00:01:08.992 --> 00:01:11.294
Purpose. and it was translated imagination four times in the
00:01:11.361 --> 00:01:13.396
Imagination four times in the old testament, genesis, chapter
00:01:13.463 --> 00:01:15.098
Old testament, genesis, chapter 6, genesis, chapter 8, 1
00:01:15.165 --> 00:01:18.034
6, genesis, chapter 8, 1 chronicles 29, and 1 chronicles
00:01:18.101 --> 00:01:20.003
Chronicles 29, and 1 chronicles 28. and so the word imagination
00:01:20.069 --> 00:01:24.641
28. and so the word imagination is talking about the part of
00:01:24.707 --> 00:01:26.309
Is talking about the part of your mind where you conceive
00:01:26.376 --> 00:01:28.444
Your mind where you conceive things. you have to conceive it
00:01:28.511 --> 00:01:31.214
Things. you have to conceive it in your imagination. and i've
00:01:31.281 --> 00:01:32.549
In your imagination. and i've been going to a lot of
00:01:32.615 --> 00:01:34.017
Been going to a lot of explanation on this. yesterday i
00:01:34.083 --> 00:01:36.519
Explanation on this. yesterday i used psalms, chapter 1, verse 2,
00:01:36.586 --> 00:01:39.289
Used psalms, chapter 1, verse 2, and psalms 2, verse 1.
00:01:39.355 --> 00:01:41.591
And the same hebrew word that
00:01:41.658 --> 00:01:42.759
And the same hebrew word that was translated meditate in
00:01:42.825 --> 00:01:44.694
Was translated meditate in psalms 1:2, was translated
00:01:44.761 --> 00:01:46.963
Psalms 1:2, was translated imagine in psalms 2:1.
00:01:47.030 --> 00:01:49.666
So i don't believe that you
00:01:49.732 --> 00:01:50.733
So i don't believe that you can meditate on the things of
00:01:50.800 --> 00:01:53.536
Can meditate on the things of god unless you get your
00:01:53.603 --> 00:01:55.605
God unless you get your imagination involved and see it
00:01:55.672 --> 00:01:58.341
Imagination involved and see it come to pass. so here's another
00:01:58.408 --> 00:02:00.476
Come to pass. so here's another passage that goes along with
00:02:00.543 --> 00:02:01.744
Passage that goes along with this out of joshua, chapter 1.
00:02:01.811 --> 00:02:03.947
This out of joshua, chapter 1. the lord was telling joshua that
00:02:04.013 --> 00:02:06.349
The lord was telling joshua that moses is dead, now you're in
00:02:06.416 --> 00:02:08.585
Moses is dead, now you're in control, and i tell you it's a
00:02:08.651 --> 00:02:10.253
Control, and i tell you it's a tough act to follow moses.
00:02:10.320 --> 00:02:13.156
Tough act to follow moses. moses was pretty powerful.
00:02:13.223 --> 00:02:15.124
He told him, be strong and of a
00:02:15.191 --> 00:02:17.527
He told him, be strong and of a good courage: for unto this
00:02:17.594 --> 00:02:19.095
Good courage: for unto this people shalt thou divide the
00:02:19.162 --> 00:02:20.964
People shalt thou divide the inheritance of the land, which i
00:02:21.030 --> 00:02:22.999
Inheritance of the land, which i sware unto their fathers to give
00:02:23.066 --> 00:02:24.434
Sware unto their fathers to give them. only be thou strong and
00:02:24.500 --> 00:02:26.135
Them. only be thou strong and very courageous, that thou may
00:02:26.202 --> 00:02:28.605
Very courageous, that thou may observe to do according to all
00:02:28.671 --> 00:02:30.406
Observe to do according to all the law, which moses my servant
00:02:30.473 --> 00:02:32.809
The law, which moses my servant commanded thee: turn not from it
00:02:32.875 --> 00:02:34.677
Commanded thee: turn not from it to the right hand or to the
00:02:34.744 --> 00:02:35.878
To the right hand or to the left, that thou mayest prosper
00:02:35.945 --> 00:02:38.014
Left, that thou mayest prosper whithersoever thou goest. so
00:02:38.081 --> 00:02:40.416
He's saying, don't depart from
00:02:40.483 --> 00:02:41.951
He's saying, don't depart from this, you are going to
00:02:42.018 --> 00:02:43.086
This, you are going to accomplish all of these things.
00:02:43.152 --> 00:02:44.787
Accomplish all of these things. did you know in the natural, it
00:02:44.854 --> 00:02:46.656
Did you know in the natural, it would've been super easy for
00:02:46.723 --> 00:02:48.791
Would've been super easy for joshua to think, who am i? moses
00:02:48.858 --> 00:02:51.894
Joshua to think, who am i? moses was probably the greatest
00:02:51.961 --> 00:02:53.496
Was probably the greatest character that had ever lived up
00:02:53.563 --> 00:02:55.365
Character that had ever lived up until this time. he split the
00:02:55.431 --> 00:02:57.367
Until this time. he split the red sea. he had fire run along
00:02:57.433 --> 00:03:00.937
Red sea. he had fire run along the ground, hail come out of the
00:03:01.004 --> 00:03:04.107
The ground, hail come out of the heavens and, you know, the
00:03:04.173 --> 00:03:05.308
Heavens and, you know, the locust and the water turned into
00:03:05.375 --> 00:03:07.510
Locust and the water turned into blood and the land... the dust
00:03:07.577 --> 00:03:10.013
Blood and the land... the dust turned into lice, and on and on
00:03:10.079 --> 00:03:11.781
Turned into lice, and on and on you could go, the ten plagues on
00:03:11.848 --> 00:03:13.616
You could go, the ten plagues on the land of egypt and he did all
00:03:13.683 --> 00:03:15.285
The land of egypt and he did all of these things. when people
00:03:15.351 --> 00:03:16.319
Of these things. when people came out against him, he said,
00:03:16.386 --> 00:03:17.654
Came out against him, he said, if i'm a true prophet, let the
00:03:17.720 --> 00:03:19.188
If i'm a true prophet, let the earth open up and swallow these
00:03:19.255 --> 00:03:21.291
Earth open up and swallow these people alive. and the er...
00:03:21.357 --> 00:03:22.625
People alive. and the er... earth just opened up and
00:03:22.692 --> 00:03:23.726
Earth just opened up and swallowed them and then closed
00:03:23.793 --> 00:03:25.161
Swallowed them and then closed on them again. and they had fire
00:03:25.228 --> 00:03:27.797
On them again. and they had fire by night and a cloud by day. god
00:03:27.864 --> 00:03:30.800
By night and a cloud by day. god spoke to him in an audible
00:03:30.867 --> 00:03:32.135
Spoke to him in an audible voice. he hit the rock, and
00:03:32.201 --> 00:03:34.070
Voice. he hit the rock, and water came out of the rock and
00:03:34.137 --> 00:03:35.872
Water came out of the rock and fed millions of people and all
00:03:35.938 --> 00:03:37.740
Fed millions of people and all of their animals. how do you
00:03:37.807 --> 00:03:39.075
Of their animals. how do you find... follow somebody who did
00:03:39.142 --> 00:03:41.477
Find... follow somebody who did all of those things?
00:03:41.544 --> 00:03:43.212
All of those things? well, he's saying here
00:03:43.279 --> 00:03:44.347
Well, he's saying here here's how you do it.
00:03:44.414 --> 00:03:45.915
And then he said this in
00:03:45.982 --> 00:03:47.050
And then he said this in verse 8, this book of the law.
00:03:47.116 --> 00:03:49.786
Now at the time all they had was
00:03:49.852 --> 00:03:51.654
Now at the time all they had was the word that was communicated
00:03:51.721 --> 00:03:53.790
The word that was communicated through moses. he had written
00:03:53.856 --> 00:03:55.158
Through moses. he had written down the first five books of the
00:03:55.224 --> 00:03:57.460
Down the first five books of the bible, what's called the torah.
00:03:57.527 --> 00:03:59.295
Bible, what's called the torah. and he had commit...
00:03:59.362 --> 00:04:01.798
And he had commit... communicated that. but now we
00:04:01.864 --> 00:04:03.866
Communicated that. but now we have the entire bible, so what
00:04:03.933 --> 00:04:05.435
Have the entire bible, so what we've got is even better. i
00:04:05.501 --> 00:04:07.036
We've got is even better. i believe it would be appropriate
00:04:07.103 --> 00:04:08.438
To say that the bible, the words
00:04:08.504 --> 00:04:10.273
To say that the bible, the words of the bible shall not depart
00:04:10.340 --> 00:04:12.809
Of the bible shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt
00:04:12.875 --> 00:04:15.011
Out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night,
00:04:15.078 --> 00:04:18.114
Meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do
00:04:18.181 --> 00:04:20.416
That thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written
00:04:20.483 --> 00:04:22.018
According to all that is written therein: for then, talking about
00:04:22.085 --> 00:04:24.354
Therein: for then, talking about then, when you've meditated in
00:04:24.420 --> 00:04:25.955
Then, when you've meditated in it day and night, then you will
00:04:26.022 --> 00:04:28.491
It day and night, then you will make your way prosperous, and
00:04:28.558 --> 00:04:30.560
Make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.
00:04:30.626 --> 00:04:32.795
And many times, people just skip
00:04:32.862 --> 00:04:34.397
And many times, people just skip over the first part of this and
00:04:34.464 --> 00:04:35.765
Over the first part of this and they're praying for prosperity
00:04:35.832 --> 00:04:37.500
They're praying for prosperity and good success. but have you
00:04:37.567 --> 00:04:39.335
And good success. but have you meditated in the word, day and
00:04:39.402 --> 00:04:41.871
Meditated in the word, day and night? and again, the teaching
00:04:41.938 --> 00:04:43.172
Night? and again, the teaching that i did on the program
00:04:43.239 --> 00:04:44.340
That i did on the program yesterday, to meditate means to
00:04:44.407 --> 00:04:46.809
Yesterday, to meditate means to imagine. you have to not only
00:04:46.876 --> 00:04:49.011
Imagine. you have to not only read the word, you not only have
00:04:49.078 --> 00:04:50.813
Read the word, you not only have to be able to quote the promise,
00:04:50.880 --> 00:04:52.915
To be able to quote the promise, but can you see yourself living
00:04:52.982 --> 00:04:56.386
But can you see yourself living that promise? can you
00:04:56.452 --> 00:04:58.020
That promise? can you see yourself raising
00:04:58.087 --> 00:04:59.288
See yourself raising people from the dead?
00:04:59.355 --> 00:05:00.857
People from the dead? can you see yourself
00:05:00.923 --> 00:05:02.158
Prosperous? and having
00:05:02.225 --> 00:05:03.493
Prosperous? and having all sufficiency in all
00:05:03.559 --> 00:05:05.061
All sufficiency in all things, so that you abound
00:05:05.128 --> 00:05:07.296
Things, so that you abound unto every good work.
00:05:07.363 --> 00:05:09.232
Unto every good work. can you see that? or do
00:05:09.298 --> 00:05:10.700
You see yourself a person of
00:05:10.767 --> 00:05:12.335
You see yourself a person of lack? i was just recently with a
00:05:12.402 --> 00:05:15.238
Lack? i was just recently with a person who was telling me that
00:05:15.304 --> 00:05:17.640
Person who was telling me that they had a watch that was given
00:05:17.707 --> 00:05:19.475
They had a watch that was given to them, or i think they bought
00:05:19.542 --> 00:05:21.043
To them, or i think they bought a watch, and it was like a $160
00:05:21.110 --> 00:05:23.646
A watch, and it was like a $160 watch, which at the time was a,
00:05:23.713 --> 00:05:26.449
Watch, which at the time was a, a, you know, a very quality
00:05:26.516 --> 00:05:27.617
A, you know, a very quality watch for them. but they went
00:05:27.683 --> 00:05:29.318
Watch for them. but they went somewhere, and god told them to
00:05:29.385 --> 00:05:31.621
Somewhere, and god told them to give it away. they gave it away,
00:05:31.687 --> 00:05:33.122
Give it away. they gave it away, and they got back a watch that
00:05:33.189 --> 00:05:34.657
And they got back a watch that was like $1,500. and over the
00:05:34.724 --> 00:05:38.227
Was like $1,500. and over the years, they've got now hundreds
00:05:38.294 --> 00:05:39.962
Years, they've got now hundreds of watches. but after just one
00:05:40.029 --> 00:05:42.698
Of watches. but after just one or two of these things of sowing
00:05:42.765 --> 00:05:44.367
Or two of these things of sowing a watch and then getting one
00:05:44.434 --> 00:05:45.735
A watch and then getting one back that was, you know, ten
00:05:45.802 --> 00:05:47.270
Back that was, you know, ten times better, they came to a
00:05:47.336 --> 00:05:49.205
Times better, they came to a place where this guy had a watch
00:05:49.272 --> 00:05:50.540
Place where this guy had a watch that was worth, i don't know, 2
00:05:50.606 --> 00:05:53.142
That was worth, i don't know, 2 or $3,000. i may be getting the
00:05:53.209 --> 00:05:54.277
Or $3,000. i may be getting the details wrong, but when he
00:05:54.343 --> 00:05:56.245
Details wrong, but when he finally got to a place where he
00:05:56.312 --> 00:05:57.814
Finally got to a place where he really valued this watch, the
00:05:57.880 --> 00:06:00.383
Really valued this watch, the lord told him to give that watch
00:06:00.450 --> 00:06:02.618
Lord told him to give that watch away. and he says, god, i just
00:06:02.685 --> 00:06:05.054
Away. and he says, god, i just can't do it. he says, i know
00:06:05.121 --> 00:06:07.056
Can't do it. he says, i know you're telling me to do it, but
00:06:07.123 --> 00:06:08.057
You're telling me to do it, but i just can't do it. and you know
00:06:08.124 --> 00:06:10.526
I just can't do it. and you know what the lord spoke to him? he
00:06:10.593 --> 00:06:12.628
What the lord spoke to him? he says, alright, now i found out
00:06:12.695 --> 00:06:15.398
Says, alright, now i found out where your level of trust is,
00:06:15.465 --> 00:06:18.201
Where your level of trust is, and i'll just deal with you
00:06:18.267 --> 00:06:19.502
And i'll just deal with you according to that. i won't...
00:06:19.569 --> 00:06:21.537
According to that. i won't... you can't go above this. and
00:06:21.604 --> 00:06:23.739
You can't go above this. and when, when it was presented to
00:06:23.806 --> 00:06:25.374
When, when it was presented to him that way, man, he took that
00:06:25.441 --> 00:06:26.442
Him that way, man, he took that watch and gave it away, and now
00:06:26.509 --> 00:06:27.910
Watch and gave it away, and now he's had some watches that are
00:06:27.977 --> 00:06:29.045
He's had some watches that are like 10, $20,000 that have been
00:06:29.111 --> 00:06:31.647
Like 10, $20,000 that have been given to him, and he has a
00:06:31.714 --> 00:06:32.615
Given to him, and he has a collection of hundreds of
00:06:32.682 --> 00:06:33.783
Collection of hundreds of watches. but you know, really,
00:06:33.850 --> 00:06:36.052
Watches. but you know, really, when a person says, well, i'm
00:06:36.118 --> 00:06:37.820
When a person says, well, i'm going to trust god, and you'll
00:06:37.887 --> 00:06:39.021
Going to trust god, and you'll trust him with giving a $10
00:06:39.088 --> 00:06:40.456
Trust him with giving a $10 gift, but would you give a
00:06:40.523 --> 00:06:41.791
Gift, but would you give a $1,000? would you give 10,000?
00:06:41.858 --> 00:06:43.759
$1,000? would you give 10,000? would you give 100,000? would
00:06:43.826 --> 00:06:45.361
Would you give 100,000? would you give a million if you had
00:06:45.428 --> 00:06:47.563
You give a million if you had it? see, there are some people
00:06:47.630 --> 00:06:49.332
It? see, there are some people that you have seen yourself
00:06:49.398 --> 00:06:50.967
That you have seen yourself giving maybe $100, maybe even
00:06:51.033 --> 00:06:53.035
Giving maybe $100, maybe even $1,000, maybe even $10,000, but
00:06:53.102 --> 00:06:55.905
$1,000, maybe even $10,000, but have you ever seen yourself
00:06:55.972 --> 00:06:57.073
Have you ever seen yourself giving away a million dollars?
00:06:57.139 --> 00:06:59.809
Giving away a million dollars? $100,000? if you haven't seen
00:06:59.876 --> 00:07:03.346
$100,000? if you haven't seen yourself doing it, you won't.
00:07:03.412 --> 00:07:05.515
You've got to see it. this is
00:07:06.782 --> 00:07:08.484
You've got to see it. this is what it's talking about. you got
00:07:08.551 --> 00:07:09.485
What it's talking about. you got to meditate, and you not only
00:07:09.552 --> 00:07:11.320
To meditate, and you not only have to know what the word says,
00:07:11.387 --> 00:07:13.556
Have to know what the word says, but you have to make it so real
00:07:13.623 --> 00:07:15.525
But you have to make it so real that you see, this is who you
00:07:15.591 --> 00:07:17.326
That you see, this is who you are. this is what you can do.
00:07:17.393 --> 00:07:20.429
Are. this is what you can do. and see as the lord spoke to me
00:07:20.496 --> 00:07:21.931
And see as the lord spoke to me about how i had limited him by
00:07:21.998 --> 00:07:23.599
About how i had limited him by my small thinking, this was a
00:07:23.666 --> 00:07:25.401
My small thinking, this was a part of what i had to start
00:07:25.468 --> 00:07:26.736
Part of what i had to start doing. i had to start seeing
00:07:26.802 --> 00:07:28.771
Doing. i had to start seeing things with my heart that i
00:07:28.838 --> 00:07:31.474
Things with my heart that i couldn't see with my eyes. and
00:07:31.541 --> 00:07:34.477
If you've listened to this whole
00:07:35.144 --> 00:07:36.312
Series, the lord spoke this to
00:07:36.312 --> 00:07:38.347
Me on january the 31st, 2002.
00:07:38.347 --> 00:07:40.783
And at that time, we were
00:07:40.783 --> 00:07:42.985
In a very small place,
00:07:42.985 --> 00:07:45.321
14,000 square feet and we
00:07:45.321 --> 00:07:47.290
Were bursting at the seams.
00:07:47.290 --> 00:07:48.791
We had to have more space
00:07:48.791 --> 00:07:50.560
And so some of my staff and
00:07:50.560 --> 00:07:52.795
People thought maybe 20,000,
00:07:52.862 --> 00:07:53.863
People thought maybe 20,000, 30,000 square feet. i knew it
00:07:53.930 --> 00:07:56.866
30,000 square feet. i knew it had to be bigger than that. and
00:07:56.933 --> 00:07:57.967
So we eventually bought a
00:07:58.534 --> 00:08:00.670
110,000 square feet, so we went
00:08:00.670 --> 00:08:03.406
Nearly 10 times as large, which
00:08:03.406 --> 00:08:06.542
Was a huge step of faith, but
00:08:06.542 --> 00:08:08.978
Even then i knew that that
00:08:08.978 --> 00:08:10.279
Wasn't going to last. i told
00:08:10.346 --> 00:08:11.447
Wasn't going to last. i told people, i said, you give me five
00:08:11.514 --> 00:08:12.782
People, i said, you give me five years, six years or something,
00:08:12.848 --> 00:08:14.216
Years, six years or something, and we'll be out of this
00:08:14.283 --> 00:08:15.217
And we'll be out of this building. it turned out to be
00:08:15.284 --> 00:08:16.419
Building. it turned out to be ten. it didn't come to pass
00:08:16.485 --> 00:08:18.387
Ten. it didn't come to pass exactly in the time i thought,
00:08:18.454 --> 00:08:20.122
Exactly in the time i thought, but i knew we would outgrow
00:08:20.189 --> 00:08:21.657
But i knew we would outgrow that 110,000 square feet.
00:08:21.724 --> 00:08:22.692
Now we have over 775,000
00:08:23.225 --> 00:08:26.095
Square feet. and we're
00:08:26.095 --> 00:08:29.832
Building multiple millions
00:08:29.832 --> 00:08:32.001
Of dollars of square feet. so,
00:08:32.001 --> 00:08:34.236
Even back in 2002 see, i started
00:08:34.303 --> 00:08:36.772
Even back in 2002 see, i started moving in this direction. and
00:08:36.839 --> 00:08:38.674
Moving in this direction. and when we got that first building,
00:08:38.741 --> 00:08:39.976
110,000 square feet, it only had
00:08:40.643 --> 00:08:43.212
10,000 square feet of that that
00:08:43.212 --> 00:08:45.214
Was office space that was
00:08:45.214 --> 00:08:47.116
Usable. the rest of it was a
00:08:47.116 --> 00:08:49.051
Warehouse. we had to
00:08:49.051 --> 00:08:50.820
Gut this warehouse. and
00:08:50.820 --> 00:08:52.588
So it was just totally gutted.
00:08:52.588 --> 00:08:54.590
We did cut up the concrete and
00:08:54.590 --> 00:08:56.959
Put in some plumbing, but we ran
00:08:56.959 --> 00:08:58.661
Out of money. and so, with my
00:08:58.728 --> 00:09:01.897
Out of money. and so, with my eyes i was seeing that we didn't
00:09:01.964 --> 00:09:04.533
Eyes i was seeing that we didn't have the money to get this thing
00:09:04.600 --> 00:09:06.669
Have the money to get this thing done. but in my heart, i saw
00:09:06.736 --> 00:09:09.372
Done. but in my heart, i saw that building finished. and i
00:09:09.438 --> 00:09:11.540
That building finished. and i had to overcome what i was
00:09:11.607 --> 00:09:13.309
Had to overcome what i was seeing with my eyes by what i
00:09:13.376 --> 00:09:16.145
Seeing with my eyes by what i was seeing in my heart.
00:09:16.212 --> 00:09:17.780
Was seeing in my heart. and so to help me,
00:09:17.847 --> 00:09:18.514
I had my builder take the
00:09:19.081 --> 00:09:21.017
Plans that we had come
00:09:21.017 --> 00:09:22.852
Up with to build out that
00:09:22.852 --> 00:09:25.421
100,000 square feet that was
00:09:25.421 --> 00:09:27.156
Left. and i had him put down
00:09:27.156 --> 00:09:30.059
Duct tape on the floor where
00:09:30.059 --> 00:09:32.428
Every wall was. and where there
00:09:32.428 --> 00:09:34.096
Was a door, i would have him,
00:09:34.096 --> 00:09:35.698
You know, angle it so that you
00:09:35.698 --> 00:09:37.933
Could tell that that was where a
00:09:37.933 --> 00:09:39.635
Door was. and so, i had my staff
00:09:39.635 --> 00:09:43.239
There during the day but at
00:09:43.305 --> 00:09:44.340
There during the day but at night after everybody left, i
00:09:44.407 --> 00:09:46.308
Night after everybody left, i would spend an hour or two a
00:09:46.375 --> 00:09:48.244
Would spend an hour or two a night, maybe two, three, four
00:09:48.310 --> 00:09:50.279
Night, maybe two, three, four nights a week, and i would just
00:09:50.346 --> 00:09:53.049
Nights a week, and i would just walk around that place and i
00:09:53.115 --> 00:09:55.584
Walk around that place and i with my heart, i would see it
00:09:55.651 --> 00:09:57.253
With my heart, i would see it with my heart. again, i wished i
00:09:57.319 --> 00:09:59.889
With my heart. again, i wished i had better words to describe
00:09:59.955 --> 00:10:01.624
Had better words to describe this. some of you know what i'm
00:10:01.691 --> 00:10:02.858
This. some of you know what i'm talking about. other people it's
00:10:02.925 --> 00:10:04.794
Talking about. other people it's like, how do you see something
00:10:04.860 --> 00:10:06.228
Like, how do you see something if you can't see it? well, this
00:10:06.295 --> 00:10:08.030
Is what paul said in 2
00:10:08.097 --> 00:10:09.165
Is what paul said in 2 corinthians, chapter 4, we are
00:10:09.231 --> 00:10:11.333
Corinthians, chapter 4, we are looking at the things that
00:10:11.400 --> 00:10:12.635
Looking at the things that cannot be seen. you can
00:10:12.702 --> 00:10:14.637
See with your heart.
00:10:14.704 --> 00:10:15.705
See with your heart. god made us so that
00:10:15.771 --> 00:10:17.506
God made us so that you can see with your heart. you
00:10:17.573 --> 00:10:19.942
You can see with your heart. you may not be using it. it may be
00:10:20.009 --> 00:10:21.577
May not be using it. it may be like a muscle that has atrophied
00:10:21.644 --> 00:10:23.879
Like a muscle that has atrophied because of lack of use, but you
00:10:23.946 --> 00:10:25.481
Because of lack of use, but you do have the ability to see
00:10:25.548 --> 00:10:27.316
Do have the ability to see things with your heart that you
00:10:27.383 --> 00:10:29.151
Things with your heart that you can't see with your eyes. and so
00:10:29.218 --> 00:10:31.387
Can't see with your eyes. and so after everybody would leave, i
00:10:31.454 --> 00:10:32.655
After everybody would leave, i would just walk around and i had
00:10:32.722 --> 00:10:34.557
Would just walk around and i had all of this duct tape on the
00:10:34.623 --> 00:10:36.025
All of this duct tape on the floor where every wall was,
00:10:36.092 --> 00:10:37.660
Floor where every wall was, where every door was. and i
00:10:37.727 --> 00:10:39.428
Where every door was. and i would walk into every single
00:10:39.495 --> 00:10:42.031
Would walk into every single office, every single auditorium,
00:10:42.098 --> 00:10:45.101
Office, every single auditorium, and i'd never step over the
00:10:45.167 --> 00:10:47.002
And i'd never step over the tape. i would act like there was
00:10:47.069 --> 00:10:49.872
Tape. i would act like there was a wall there, and i would act
00:10:49.939 --> 00:10:51.440
A wall there, and i would act like i was opening a door. i
00:10:51.507 --> 00:10:53.809
Like i was opening a door. i know some of you are thinking,
00:10:53.876 --> 00:10:54.810
Know some of you are thinking, boy, you're weird. well, i think
00:10:54.877 --> 00:10:56.412
Boy, you're weird. well, i think you're weird to have an
00:10:56.479 --> 00:10:57.847
You're weird to have an imagination and just let it lie
00:10:57.913 --> 00:11:00.416
Imagination and just let it lie dormant or only see the negative
00:11:00.483 --> 00:11:02.718
Dormant or only see the negative side of things and never use it
00:11:02.785 --> 00:11:04.220
Side of things and never use it for something positive. i knew
00:11:04.286 --> 00:11:06.322
For something positive. i knew that god gave that building to
00:11:06.388 --> 00:11:07.957
That god gave that building to us. i knew he told me that we
00:11:08.023 --> 00:11:09.525
Us. i knew he told me that we had to build it out. i believed
00:11:09.592 --> 00:11:11.427
Had to build it out. i believed that the plans we came up with
00:11:11.494 --> 00:11:13.162
That the plans we came up with were inspired by god. and so i
00:11:13.229 --> 00:11:15.397
Were inspired by god. and so i was using my imagination to see
00:11:15.464 --> 00:11:17.867
Was using my imagination to see what god had told me coming to
00:11:17.933 --> 00:11:19.602
What god had told me coming to pass. and i would open those
00:11:19.668 --> 00:11:21.504
Pass. and i would open those doors, and i'd walk in, and i'd
00:11:21.570 --> 00:11:23.672
Doors, and i'd walk in, and i'd look around and say, is this the
00:11:23.739 --> 00:11:24.907
Look around and say, is this the way i want this office to be? is
00:11:24.974 --> 00:11:26.609
Way i want this office to be? is this the size that i want this
00:11:26.675 --> 00:11:28.144
This the size that i want this office to be? and there was
00:11:28.210 --> 00:11:29.478
Office to be? and there was nothing there. it was just duct
00:11:29.545 --> 00:11:31.180
Nothing there. it was just duct tape on the floor. i remember
00:11:31.247 --> 00:11:33.349
Tape on the floor. i remember going into the auditorium and we
00:11:33.415 --> 00:11:35.751
Going into the auditorium and we had about a 650 seat auditorium
00:11:35.818 --> 00:11:39.421
Had about a 650 seat auditorium in this building. and i remember
00:11:39.488 --> 00:11:41.490
In this building. and i remember setting down five gallon
00:11:41.557 --> 00:11:43.192
Setting down five gallon buckets, turning them upside
00:11:43.259 --> 00:11:44.560
Buckets, turning them upside down and then putting plywood on
00:11:44.627 --> 00:11:46.228
Down and then putting plywood on top of them, and i would stand
00:11:46.295 --> 00:11:48.130
Top of them, and i would stand up there like i was on a stage,
00:11:48.197 --> 00:11:50.266
Up there like i was on a stage, and i preached entire messages
00:11:50.332 --> 00:11:53.402
And i preached entire messages to people that weren't there. i
00:11:53.469 --> 00:11:55.938
To people that weren't there. i was imagining what that
00:11:56.005 --> 00:11:58.040
Was imagining what that auditorium looked like and
00:11:58.107 --> 00:11:59.275
Auditorium looked like and seeing if that's the way that i
00:11:59.341 --> 00:12:00.676
Seeing if that's the way that i wanted it. and again, i know
00:12:00.743 --> 00:12:03.345
Wanted it. and again, i know some people think i'm weird, but
00:12:03.412 --> 00:12:04.914
Some people think i'm weird, but i think you're weird not to use
00:12:04.980 --> 00:12:07.016
I think you're weird not to use your imagination to see what god
00:12:07.082 --> 00:12:09.752
Your imagination to see what god is telling you come to pass. and
00:12:09.819 --> 00:12:12.755
Is telling you come to pass. and so i just kept doing this, and
00:12:12.822 --> 00:12:14.290
So i just kept doing this, and did you know that within 14
00:12:14.356 --> 00:12:16.458
Did you know that within 14 months, without any loan
00:12:16.525 --> 00:12:18.994
Months, without any loan from somebody else, we
00:12:19.061 --> 00:12:20.796
From somebody else, we brought in $3.2 million.
00:12:20.863 --> 00:12:22.565
We built that facility out
00:12:23.132 --> 00:12:25.734
And we occupied it. and
00:12:25.734 --> 00:12:27.803
Then we've left there. we've
00:12:27.803 --> 00:12:29.104
Now come up to woodland park and
00:12:29.104 --> 00:12:31.207
We've built $150 million worth
00:12:31.207 --> 00:12:34.643
Of buildings all debt-free, and
00:12:34.643 --> 00:12:37.279
It's the same process. i sit
00:12:37.279 --> 00:12:39.682
There and see it in my heart,
00:12:39.748 --> 00:12:42.484
There and see it in my heart, and i do whatever it takes for
00:12:42.551 --> 00:12:44.486
And i do whatever it takes for me to get to where what i see on
00:12:44.553 --> 00:12:46.422
Me to get to where what i see on the inside is more real than
00:12:46.488 --> 00:12:48.858
The inside is more real than what i see on the outside. you
00:12:48.924 --> 00:12:52.294
What i see on the outside. you know this is all the way through
00:12:52.361 --> 00:12:53.729
Know this is all the way through the bible if you would follow.
00:12:53.796 --> 00:12:54.964
The bible if you would follow. when gideon was called by god in
00:12:55.030 --> 00:12:57.333
When gideon was called by god in joshua or... judges, chapter 6,
00:12:57.399 --> 00:13:00.002
Joshua or... judges, chapter 6, he was hiding behind a winepress
00:13:00.069 --> 00:13:02.638
He was hiding behind a winepress threshing wheat so that the
00:13:02.705 --> 00:13:04.406
Threshing wheat so that the midianites or the amalekites
00:13:04.473 --> 00:13:06.609
Midianites or the amalekites would not come and steal it away
00:13:06.675 --> 00:13:08.244
Would not come and steal it away from him. and the lord appeared
00:13:08.310 --> 00:13:11.213
From him. and the lord appeared to him, an angel of the lord and
00:13:11.280 --> 00:13:12.448
To him, an angel of the lord and said, hail, you're a mighty man
00:13:12.514 --> 00:13:14.817
Said, hail, you're a mighty man of valor. and he didn't see
00:13:14.884 --> 00:13:17.086
Of valor. and he didn't see himself as a mighty man of
00:13:17.152 --> 00:13:18.487
Himself as a mighty man of valor. he says, i'm hiding
00:13:18.554 --> 00:13:20.256
Valor. he says, i'm hiding because they're going to come
00:13:20.322 --> 00:13:21.156
Because they're going to come and steal this from him. what do
00:13:21.223 --> 00:13:22.057
And steal this from him. what do you mean i'm a mighty man of
00:13:22.124 --> 00:13:23.359
You mean i'm a mighty man of valor? and there were like five
00:13:23.425 --> 00:13:25.394
Valor? and there were like five different things that the lord
00:13:25.461 --> 00:13:27.329
Different things that the lord had to do so that josh... gideon
00:13:27.396 --> 00:13:31.000
Had to do so that josh... gideon could see himself the way that
00:13:31.066 --> 00:13:33.269
Could see himself the way that god saw him. god saw him as a
00:13:33.335 --> 00:13:35.037
God saw him. god saw him as a mighty man of valor, but he saw
00:13:35.104 --> 00:13:36.839
Mighty man of valor, but he saw himself as, as a weakling,
00:13:36.906 --> 00:13:38.641
Himself as, as a weakling, somebody who was hiding to just
00:13:38.707 --> 00:13:40.776
Somebody who was hiding to just get enough wheat threshed so
00:13:40.843 --> 00:13:42.511
Get enough wheat threshed so that he could go make some
00:13:42.578 --> 00:13:43.579
That he could go make some bread. he had to change that
00:13:43.646 --> 00:13:45.848
Bread. he had to change that image and so he put out a fleece
00:13:45.915 --> 00:13:48.150
Image and so he put out a fleece and he did that twice, and he
00:13:48.217 --> 00:13:51.020
And he did that twice, and he did other things. finally, the
00:13:51.086 --> 00:13:52.488
Did other things. finally, the night before the battle, the
00:13:52.554 --> 00:13:54.790
Night before the battle, the lord said, if you still aren't
00:13:54.857 --> 00:13:56.992
Lord said, if you still aren't in faith to go down and fight
00:13:57.059 --> 00:13:59.461
In faith to go down and fight these people, then go down into
00:13:59.528 --> 00:14:01.130
These people, then go down into the host, you and one of your
00:14:01.196 --> 00:14:02.665
The host, you and one of your people with you. and they went
00:14:02.731 --> 00:14:03.933
People with you. and they went down and it just so happened
00:14:03.999 --> 00:14:06.035
Down and it just so happened that at the exact moment they
00:14:06.101 --> 00:14:07.836
That at the exact moment they entered into the edge of the
00:14:07.903 --> 00:14:09.939
Entered into the edge of the camp of the enemy, that a person
00:14:10.005 --> 00:14:13.208
Camp of the enemy, that a person was talking to the guy that was
00:14:13.275 --> 00:14:14.743
Was talking to the guy that was in the tent with him and he
00:14:14.810 --> 00:14:15.811
In the tent with him and he said, i had a dream and in this
00:14:15.878 --> 00:14:17.980
Said, i had a dream and in this dream i saw this barley loaf
00:14:18.047 --> 00:14:19.815
Dream i saw this barley loaf come rolling down the mountain
00:14:19.882 --> 00:14:21.383
Come rolling down the mountain and it just flattened all of our
00:14:21.450 --> 00:14:23.919
And it just flattened all of our people. and he's, and the other
00:14:23.986 --> 00:14:25.854
People. and he's, and the other person said, this is nothing but
00:14:25.921 --> 00:14:27.856
Person said, this is nothing but the sword of the lord and of
00:14:27.923 --> 00:14:29.625
The sword of the lord and of gideon. you know, in the first
00:14:29.692 --> 00:14:32.761
Gideon. you know, in the first place, to interpret a barley
00:14:32.828 --> 00:14:34.229
Place, to interpret a barley loaf come rolling down the
00:14:34.296 --> 00:14:35.331
Loaf come rolling down the mountain and just flatten all of
00:14:35.397 --> 00:14:37.433
Mountain and just flatten all of the enemy troops, that's amazing
00:14:37.499 --> 00:14:40.035
The enemy troops, that's amazing that anybody would understand
00:14:40.102 --> 00:14:41.470
That anybody would understand what that means, but then to say
00:14:41.537 --> 00:14:42.972
What that means, but then to say that this is the prophecy that
00:14:43.038 --> 00:14:45.607
That this is the prophecy that gideon is going to defeat our
00:14:45.674 --> 00:14:47.209
Gideon is going to defeat our whole army. and he only had 300
00:14:47.276 --> 00:14:49.178
Whole army. and he only had 300 men against people that were as
00:14:49.244 --> 00:14:50.612
Men against people that were as numerous as the sand on the
00:14:50.679 --> 00:14:52.147
Numerous as the sand on the seashore. and man, what this...
00:14:52.214 --> 00:14:55.484
Seashore. and man, what this... it was a miracle that the guy
00:14:55.551 --> 00:14:56.952
It was a miracle that the guy had the dream. it's a miracle
00:14:57.019 --> 00:14:58.454
Had the dream. it's a miracle that his friend interpreted it
00:14:58.520 --> 00:14:59.989
That his friend interpreted it the way he did. it's a miracle
00:15:00.055 --> 00:15:01.557
The way he did. it's a miracle that, that gideon was there at
00:15:01.623 --> 00:15:03.892
That, that gideon was there at the exact moment that they were
00:15:03.959 --> 00:15:05.627
The exact moment that they were talking, and he overheard this.
00:15:05.694 --> 00:15:07.629
Talking, and he overheard this. it's a miracle that he wasn't
00:15:07.696 --> 00:15:08.964
It's a miracle that he wasn't caught. but all of these things
00:15:09.031 --> 00:15:11.734
Caught. but all of these things were so that gideon could see on
00:15:11.800 --> 00:15:14.703
Were so that gideon could see on the inside what god had been
00:15:14.770 --> 00:15:17.139
The inside what god had been telling him. it had to become
00:15:17.206 --> 00:15:19.008
Telling him. it had to become more than just information. and
00:15:19.074 --> 00:15:21.076
More than just information. and so he put the fleece out. he did
00:15:21.143 --> 00:15:22.878
So he put the fleece out. he did all of these things. he heard
00:15:22.945 --> 00:15:24.446
All of these things. he heard the interpretation of the dream.
00:15:24.513 --> 00:15:26.315
The interpretation of the dream. and finally, he saw himself
00:15:26.382 --> 00:15:28.083
And finally, he saw himself doing it. you know i've
00:15:28.150 --> 00:15:29.818
Doing it. you know i've mentioned this briefly, but i, i
00:15:29.885 --> 00:15:32.021
Mentioned this briefly, but i, i saw my son raised from the dead.
00:15:32.087 --> 00:15:34.490
Saw my son raised from the dead. and one of the ways that that
00:15:34.556 --> 00:15:36.058
And one of the ways that that happened, i'm not saying, i'm,
00:15:36.125 --> 00:15:37.659
Happened, i'm not saying, i'm, i'm giving all of the credit to
00:15:37.726 --> 00:15:39.261
I'm giving all of the credit to the lord. it was god, but he
00:15:39.328 --> 00:15:41.196
The lord. it was god, but he used these truths that i'm
00:15:41.263 --> 00:15:43.665
Used these truths that i'm sharing with you to make that
00:15:43.732 --> 00:15:45.701
Sharing with you to make that happen. and i just took
00:15:45.768 --> 00:15:47.936
Happen. and i just took scriptures about raising people
00:15:48.003 --> 00:15:50.205
Scriptures about raising people from the dead. and i took them,
00:15:50.272 --> 00:15:53.442
From the dead. and i took them, and i wrote them all out
00:15:53.509 --> 00:15:54.576
And i wrote them all out longhand. i studied them until i
00:15:54.643 --> 00:15:56.678
Longhand. i studied them until i had all of the information, all
00:15:56.745 --> 00:15:59.014
Had all of the information, all of the words, but then i let it
00:15:59.081 --> 00:16:01.316
Of the words, but then i let it paint a picture on me of what is
00:16:01.383 --> 00:16:03.218
Paint a picture on me of what is possible when you believe god.
00:16:03.285 --> 00:16:05.487
Possible when you believe god. but then i even went a step on
00:16:05.554 --> 00:16:07.189
But then i even went a step on that. and instead of just me
00:16:07.256 --> 00:16:09.458
That. and instead of just me seeing elijah, bring, raise the
00:16:09.525 --> 00:16:12.795
Seeing elijah, bring, raise the woman, the widow at zarephath
00:16:12.861 --> 00:16:15.064
Woman, the widow at zarephath raise her son from the dead,
00:16:15.130 --> 00:16:16.899
Raise her son from the dead, instead of seeing elijah did it,
00:16:16.965 --> 00:16:19.268
Instead of seeing elijah did it, i saw me do it. i saw me raising
00:16:19.334 --> 00:16:22.571
I saw me do it. i saw me raising the shunammite's son from the
00:16:22.638 --> 00:16:24.039
The shunammite's son from the dead like elisha did. i saw me
00:16:24.106 --> 00:16:27.142
Dead like elisha did. i saw me standing at the tomb of lazarus
00:16:27.209 --> 00:16:29.478
Standing at the tomb of lazarus and yelling with a loud voice,
00:16:29.545 --> 00:16:31.113
And yelling with a loud voice, come forth. i saw me raising
00:16:31.180 --> 00:16:33.348
Come forth. i saw me raising dorcas from the dead like peter
00:16:33.415 --> 00:16:35.317
Dorcas from the dead like peter did. i saw me raising eutychus
00:16:35.384 --> 00:16:37.586
Did. i saw me raising eutychus from the dead the way that paul
00:16:37.653 --> 00:16:39.388
From the dead the way that paul did. i saw me raising the
00:16:39.455 --> 00:16:41.557
Did. i saw me raising the widow's son at the city of nain
00:16:41.623 --> 00:16:43.392
Widow's son at the city of nain from the dead like jesus did. i
00:16:43.459 --> 00:16:45.494
From the dead like jesus did. i saw all of them doing it,
00:16:45.561 --> 00:16:46.728
Saw all of them doing it, but then i personalized it
00:16:46.795 --> 00:16:48.063
Because the scripture
00:16:48.130 --> 00:16:49.198
Because the scripture says in john, chapter
00:16:49.264 --> 00:16:50.699
Says in john, chapter 14, verse 12, that the same
00:16:50.766 --> 00:16:52.768
14, verse 12, that the same works that i do shall you
00:16:52.835 --> 00:16:54.436
Works that i do shall you do also, and even greater works
00:16:54.503 --> 00:16:56.038
Do also, and even greater works than these. the lord promised
00:16:56.105 --> 00:16:57.806
That whatever we saw him do, or
00:16:57.873 --> 00:16:59.508
That whatever we saw him do, or anybody else in the bible, that
00:16:59.575 --> 00:17:01.276
Anybody else in the bible, that he's no respecter of persons, he
00:17:01.343 --> 00:17:02.978
He's no respecter of persons, he would do that for us. so, my, my
00:17:03.045 --> 00:17:05.814
Would do that for us. so, my, my mind wasn't just an, a fantasy.
00:17:05.881 --> 00:17:08.650
Mind wasn't just an, a fantasy. i wasn't just believing for
00:17:08.717 --> 00:17:10.285
I wasn't just believing for something that had no basis in
00:17:10.352 --> 00:17:11.887
Something that had no basis in reality. i had scripture to
00:17:11.954 --> 00:17:13.322
Reality. i had scripture to stand on. that whatever jesus
00:17:13.388 --> 00:17:15.457
Stand on. that whatever jesus did, i can do also. so i started
00:17:15.524 --> 00:17:17.860
Did, i can do also. so i started seeing these things. and i got
00:17:17.926 --> 00:17:19.728
Seeing these things. and i got to where i focused on it so much
00:17:19.795 --> 00:17:21.663
To where i focused on it so much that i would dream about it at
00:17:21.730 --> 00:17:23.499
That i would dream about it at night. you know, i'm what they
00:17:23.565 --> 00:17:25.467
Night. you know, i'm what they call a lucid dreamer, and i
00:17:25.534 --> 00:17:28.070
Call a lucid dreamer, and i dream all the time, and i'm
00:17:28.137 --> 00:17:30.806
Dream all the time, and i'm awake nearly while i'm asleep
00:17:30.873 --> 00:17:32.708
Awake nearly while i'm asleep dreaming. i don't know how to
00:17:32.774 --> 00:17:33.809
Dreaming. i don't know how to describe that, but i am, and i
00:17:33.876 --> 00:17:36.111
Describe that, but i am, and i mean, my, my dreams are vivid
00:17:36.178 --> 00:17:39.014
Mean, my, my dreams are vivid and real. and at night, i would
00:17:39.081 --> 00:17:41.617
And real. and at night, i would raise 20 people from the dead
00:17:41.683 --> 00:17:43.619
Raise 20 people from the dead every night. i was so focused on
00:17:43.685 --> 00:17:45.521
Every night. i was so focused on this that it just began to
00:17:45.587 --> 00:17:47.022
This that it just began to dominate me. and right in the
00:17:47.089 --> 00:17:50.559
Dominate me. and right in the midst of all of that, i got a
00:17:50.626 --> 00:17:52.928
Midst of all of that, i got a call at 4:15 in the morning that
00:17:52.995 --> 00:17:55.531
Call at 4:15 in the morning that my youngest son, jonathan peter
00:17:55.597 --> 00:17:57.733
My youngest son, jonathan peter had died. and i asked what
00:17:57.799 --> 00:17:59.735
Had died. and i asked what happened, and my oldest son was
00:17:59.801 --> 00:18:01.737
Happened, and my oldest son was one that called, and he told me.
00:18:01.803 --> 00:18:03.205
And i said, don't let anybody
00:18:05.407 --> 00:18:06.742
And i said, don't let anybody touch him till we get there. and
00:18:06.808 --> 00:18:09.211
Touch him till we get there. and of course, jamie and i
00:18:09.278 --> 00:18:10.345
Of course, jamie and i immediately wanted to believe
00:18:10.412 --> 00:18:12.347
Immediately wanted to believe that he could be raised from the
00:18:12.414 --> 00:18:13.582
That he could be raised from the dead, but it doesn't just come
00:18:13.649 --> 00:18:15.617
Dead, but it doesn't just come out of the blue. you have to
00:18:15.684 --> 00:18:16.752
Out of the blue. you have to conceive these things. and
00:18:16.818 --> 00:18:19.121
Conceive these things. and because i had been meditating on
00:18:19.188 --> 00:18:21.623
Because i had been meditating on it, because i had been
00:18:21.690 --> 00:18:23.492
It, because i had been envisioning it, because i took
00:18:23.559 --> 00:18:25.260
Envisioning it, because i took these scriptures and i saw not
00:18:25.327 --> 00:18:27.396
These scriptures and i saw not only jesus and paul and elijah
00:18:27.462 --> 00:18:29.631
Only jesus and paul and elijah and elisha and all of these
00:18:29.698 --> 00:18:32.434
And elisha and all of these raising people from the dead, i
00:18:32.501 --> 00:18:34.002
Raising people from the dead, i saw myself doing it. because i
00:18:34.069 --> 00:18:36.972
Saw myself doing it. because i had conceived it, then i was
00:18:37.039 --> 00:18:39.208
Had conceived it, then i was able to give birth to this. and
00:18:39.274 --> 00:18:41.310
Able to give birth to this. and on the way in jamie and i just
00:18:41.376 --> 00:18:43.178
On the way in jamie and i just agreed and believed. and when we
00:18:43.245 --> 00:18:45.113
Agreed and believed. and when we got into town my son had been
00:18:45.180 --> 00:18:46.748
Got into town my son had been dead over four hours. he was
00:18:46.815 --> 00:18:49.184
Dead over four hours. he was strip naked with a toe tag on,
00:18:49.251 --> 00:18:51.553
Strip naked with a toe tag on, in a freezer, in a morgue. but
00:18:51.620 --> 00:18:54.690
In a freezer, in a morgue. but when they called and we spoke
00:18:54.756 --> 00:18:56.491
When they called and we spoke and we agreed, he sat up and
00:18:56.558 --> 00:18:58.860
And we agreed, he sat up and started talking. and he is alive
00:18:58.927 --> 00:19:01.463
Started talking. and he is alive and well today. and a year after
00:19:01.530 --> 00:19:03.765
And well today. and a year after he came back from the dead, he
00:19:03.832 --> 00:19:05.767
He came back from the dead, he had a little girl born to him.
00:19:05.834 --> 00:19:08.737
Had a little girl born to him. she has the, the honor or the
00:19:08.804 --> 00:19:12.541
She has the, the honor or the dubious honor of being born one
00:19:12.608 --> 00:19:15.210
Dubious honor of being born one year after her dad died. not
00:19:15.277 --> 00:19:17.679
Year after her dad died. not many people can say that. but
00:19:17.746 --> 00:19:20.048
Many people can say that. but all of this happened because of
00:19:20.115 --> 00:19:22.050
All of this happened because of what i've been trying to tell
00:19:22.117 --> 00:19:23.385
What i've been trying to tell you. if you want to see the
00:19:23.452 --> 00:19:26.888
You. if you want to see the limits taken off of god, if you
00:19:26.955 --> 00:19:28.690
Limits taken off of god, if you want to see god's best in your
00:19:28.757 --> 00:19:32.127
Want to see god's best in your life, you're going to have to
00:19:32.194 --> 00:19:33.829
Life, you're going to have to get over your fears and rev...
00:19:33.895 --> 00:19:35.430
Get over your fears and rev... reservations about it, you're
00:19:35.497 --> 00:19:37.065
Reservations about it, you're going to have to get out of your
00:19:37.132 --> 00:19:38.133
Going to have to get out of your comfort zone, you're going to
00:19:38.200 --> 00:19:39.801
Comfort zone, you're going to have to start speaking forth
00:19:39.868 --> 00:19:42.571
Have to start speaking forth your faith, and then, you are
00:19:42.638 --> 00:19:45.173
Your faith, and then, you are going to have to use your
00:19:45.240 --> 00:19:46.675
Going to have to use your imagination to see it coming to
00:19:46.742 --> 00:19:49.578
Imagination to see it coming to pass. you can't just pray for
00:19:49.645 --> 00:19:51.813
Pass. you can't just pray for it, ask for it, beg for it.
00:19:51.880 --> 00:19:53.949
It, ask for it, beg for it. you've got to conceive it.
00:19:54.016 --> 00:19:55.684
You've got to conceive it. you've got to see it. and then
00:19:55.751 --> 00:19:57.419
You've got to see it. and then you'll have to give time to
00:19:57.486 --> 00:19:59.021
You'll have to give time to that. it takes time for that
00:19:59.087 --> 00:20:00.522
That. it takes time for that vision to mature. but
00:20:00.589 --> 00:20:02.257
Vision to mature. but eventually, if you don't have an
00:20:02.324 --> 00:20:04.693
Eventually, if you don't have an abortion along the way, if you
00:20:04.760 --> 00:20:06.261
Abortion along the way, if you don't get into unbelief and just
00:20:06.328 --> 00:20:07.829
Don't get into unbelief and just start rejecting what god is
00:20:07.896 --> 00:20:09.564
Start rejecting what god is doing, you will give birth to
00:20:09.631 --> 00:20:11.700
Doing, you will give birth to it. right now, you may not be
00:20:11.767 --> 00:20:13.635
It. right now, you may not be able to tell, but i'm
00:20:13.702 --> 00:20:14.636
Able to tell, but i'm spiritually pregnant. god has
00:20:14.703 --> 00:20:16.772
Spiritually pregnant. god has shown me things. and i've
00:20:16.838 --> 00:20:18.307
Shown me things. and i've conceived things in my heart and
00:20:18.373 --> 00:20:21.043
Conceived things in my heart and i'm, i've got a billion dollars'
00:20:21.109 --> 00:20:23.912
I'm, i've got a billion dollars' worth of buildings on the inside
00:20:23.979 --> 00:20:26.448
Worth of buildings on the inside of me that i'm seeing. and i
00:20:26.515 --> 00:20:28.784
Of me that i'm seeing. and i spend time just thinking about
00:20:28.850 --> 00:20:30.752
Spend time just thinking about this. i get up on a hill that
00:20:30.819 --> 00:20:32.421
This. i get up on a hill that overlooks all of our property
00:20:32.487 --> 00:20:34.022
Overlooks all of our property and i'm just looking and i'm
00:20:34.089 --> 00:20:35.490
And i'm just looking and i'm seeing all of these things come
00:20:35.557 --> 00:20:37.592
Seeing all of these things come to pass. there's nothing that
00:20:37.659 --> 00:20:38.960
To pass. there's nothing that you can see in the natural, but
00:20:39.027 --> 00:20:41.029
You can see in the natural, but i can see it in my heart, and i
00:20:41.096 --> 00:20:42.964
I can see it in my heart, and i spend a lot of time doing that.
00:20:43.031 --> 00:20:45.100
Spend a lot of time doing that. and because of it you hide and
00:20:45.167 --> 00:20:46.501
And because of it you hide and watch. many of you doubt that
00:20:46.568 --> 00:20:48.003
Watch. many of you doubt that the things i'm saying will come
00:20:48.070 --> 00:20:49.237
The things i'm saying will come to pass, but you just hide and
00:20:49.304 --> 00:20:50.939
To pass, but you just hide and watch, it will come to pass, and
00:20:51.006 --> 00:20:53.342
Watch, it will come to pass, and you'll, and i'll be able to
00:20:53.408 --> 00:20:54.609
You'll, and i'll be able to tell you, i told you so.

Kilos was pushing me down. i
00:25:06.661 --> 00:25:08.663
Couldn't get up from the floor,
00:25:08.663 --> 00:25:10.599
And then suddenly my cell was
00:25:10.599 --> 00:25:12.133
Filled with a light that was so
00:25:12.133 --> 00:25:15.203
Bright it looked like the sun
00:25:15.203 --> 00:25:16.738
Was shining in my cell. i was
00:25:16.738 --> 00:25:18.673
Screaming, forgive me, god,
00:25:18.673 --> 00:25:21.543
Forgive me. please forgive me.
00:25:21.543 --> 00:25:22.911
Forgive me, father, forgive me.
00:25:22.911 --> 00:25:24.245

Already forgiven. and i just had
00:25:35.457 --> 00:25:38.326
An ocean of love overflowing me.

I mean, a tsunami of love and
00:25:41.262 --> 00:25:44.633
Grace overflowing me, and i was
00:25:44.633 --> 00:25:46.501
Washed from the inside out
00:25:46.501 --> 00:25:48.637
