We're just thinking up this is 88 00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:31,760 Bible. This is the strategy that God 89 00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:34,920 gave his people. God gave his people a strategy. 90 00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:39,800 OK, he said, Moses, this is how OK, this is how you want to 91 00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:43,480 bless the people and God specifically strategy. 92 00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:47,760 He said, Moses, the way I want you to bless the people is say 93 00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:52,520 it to them. OK, let's think it's OK, right? 94 00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:56,840 But in other words, speak the blessing, Moses, that's how I 95 00:05:56,840 --> 00:06:00,120 want you to bless the people. I speak the blessing. 96 00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:02,360 Somebody says speak the blessing. 97 00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:05,960 OK, now let's go to the word. So let me read it out. 98 00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:09,600 This theme scripture that we're going to be talking about over 99 00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:12,880 the next couple of weeks here. Are you ready for the word? 100 00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:17,240 If you're ready, say I'm ready. OK, so this is number chapter 101 00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:19,040 66. And the Lord spoke to Moses 102 00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:23,800 saying speak to Aaron and his son saying this is the way. 103 00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:25,520 OK, so how? How is the way? 104 00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:27,960 Now what's the strategy? This is the way you shall bless 105 00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:32,920 the children of Israel and the like this watch this say to 106 00:06:33,280 --> 00:06:35,800 them, the Lord bless you and keep you. 107 00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:38,440 The Lord makes his face shine upon you and be gracious to you. 108 00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:41,560 The Lord lift up his countenance upon you and give you peace. 109 00:06:41,840 --> 00:06:46,040 So shall put so they shall put my name on the children of 110 00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:52,360 Israel and I will blessed and let's pray Father, we thank you 111 00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:54,400 for this moment together. We thank you for your word make 112 00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:56,920 it come alive and every heart to take Father, we thank you for 113 00:06:56,920 --> 00:06:58,800 open hearts. We thank you for an open name. 114 00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:03,000 But oh God, help us to speak life to speak destiny, to speak 115 00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:05,600 favor. Help us to speak blessing over 116 00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:08,080 the people we love and we thank you for this brand new series 117 00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:10,960 and for doing something you do it right here right now in the 118 00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:14,800 mighty name of Jesus Christ. We pray and somebody shout night 119 00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:17,280 right now. Let me just put numbers chapter 120 00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:21,360 6 for you in context, right? So I want you to notice what God 121 00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:24,600 is doing, right? Israel is under pressure. 122 00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:26,160 They're in a precious season, right? 123 00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:29,240 They just come out of slavery. They just come out of slavery. 124 00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:32,640 Now they are facing a wilderness, OK? 125 00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:35,600 So they're like uncertain. We don't have a clear path where 126 00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:40,280 we go, OK, And so the Israel is under pressure and they don't 127 00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:43,760 even feel fully equipped. And no weapons, no supplies, no 128 00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:48,040 map, the uncertainty. And so when people are under 129 00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:49,760 pressure, they start complaining. 130 00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:54,680 When people are under pressure, they start assuming the worst 131 00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:58,400 case. And so, Moses, why did you bring 132 00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:03,120 us here to die? And so in other words, this 133 00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:07,360 doesn't feel like God is with us, OK? 134 00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:10,600 It feels like a wilderness, like a desert in sand and heat. 135 00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:12,440 It doesn't feel like God is with us. 136 00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:16,360 This doesn't look like favor, OK, Right. 137 00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:21,640 And so this doesn't, right, you know, match up what he has 138 00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:24,360 promised. And so right there in the 139 00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:29,760 wilderness, in the difficulty, in the pressure season, God does 140 00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:34,960 not respond with shame. God responds with a strategy. 141 00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:39,640 Oh, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, somebody for a strategy from 142 00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:42,360 God, for a word from God, Hallelujah. 143 00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:46,200 And God is saying, listen, I am giving you a strategy. 144 00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:49,000 Listen, this is what you do when you start, when you pressure, 145 00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:53,600 when you start. Speak the blessing, Oh my God, 146 00:08:53,600 --> 00:09:01,200 Jesus. I'm just giving you the word on 147 00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:03,120 the Lord today. Are you ready for this? 148 00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:06,480 Can you handle the blessing somebody OK, Because it might be 149 00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:09,720 it might be strong for somebody today. 150 00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:13,520 Speak in a blessing. OK, so God says something in 151 00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:17,160 numbers chapter 6 that shifts everything. 152 00:09:17,680 --> 00:09:21,760 It's like, listen man, he tells me I said say to them, don't 153 00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:26,720 think it, don't assume it. The Queen, the claret, say it. 154 00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:33,560 So then, OK, McLaren, because here's the thing about blessing. 155 00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:36,640 Here's the thing about now, it's fine. 156 00:09:36,680 --> 00:09:38,680 Well, let's just flow, OK? Let's just flow because I want 157 00:09:38,680 --> 00:09:40,040 you. I want you to grab all of this. 158 00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:44,040 The thing about the blessing is it moves through words. 159 00:09:45,560 --> 00:09:48,480 That's how the IT moves through words, OK? 160 00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:53,440 So it is heaven's language that comes and flows through us. 161 00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:57,240 So we put the word of God and we speak it. 162 00:09:57,640 --> 00:10:01,480 And so when he says, listen, the Lord bless you and keep you, 163 00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:06,960 that's power, that's protection we should listen to. 164 00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:10,120 Lord makes his fight shine upon you. 165 00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:14,320 That's Christ, that's favour. When he says, the Lord lift up 166 00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:18,600 his countenance upon you, that's peace we surpass us. 167 00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:23,720 We want to study peace that you cannot even explain shall own 168 00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:27,640 peace, wholeness. That's the favour, that's a 169 00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:32,320 piece of God. And so I want you to see this 170 00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:36,320 because the wilderness, the difficulty, the shall, it cannot 171 00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:40,840 remove what God has spoken. OK, I made somebody. 172 00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:45,880 So the pressure, the difficulty, the challenge, it cannot cancel 173 00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:49,960 what heaven has declared. I made somebody. 174 00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:53,160 So if you are in a difficult, if you are the world in this 175 00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:56,640 season, if you're in a desert season, OK, sand, heat, 176 00:10:56,640 --> 00:11:00,640 hardship, difficult, trouble on every side, pressure, 177 00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:04,480 challenges, uncertainty.

Just speak the blessing. 265 00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:13,120 A blessing isn't a blessing until it's spoken. 266 00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:21,200 Placing is not a blessing until it's spoken. 267 00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:23,960 Nothing happens until you speak it. 268 00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:26,600 OK, right. So we sitting at the restaurant 269 00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:28,320 holding food. OK, what do you want to eat? 270 00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:34,200 I'm just whispering. OK, so would you like to order 271 00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:35,400 some food? What do you like to eat? 272 00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:42,120 No, I'm not saying anything. My my mouth is shut. 273 00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:46,320 OK, listen, if you sit at the restaurant, I'm going to ask you 274 00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:48,720 what to eat, and you're going to keep your mouth shut. 275 00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:50,560 You're not getting nothing to eat. 276 00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:53,160 You're getting nothing because your mouth is shut. 277 00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:55,400 You're not saying anything.

We come into these meetings and 286 00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:23,960 we praise our God. That's why we are. 287 00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:27,960 That's why when we sat at the restaurant, we open our mouth. 288 00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:30,880 Sir, can I please order a burger with fresh rice? 289 00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:33,240 Thank you.

Oh on the way to Dimascus God 297 00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:11,320 deemed mask he rubbed that mask off his face. 298 00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:14,000 He's like listen, you're not going to be a sore persecuting 299 00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:15,920 the Christians. You're going to be an Apostle 300 00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:18,320 Paul. You're going to open your mouth 301 00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:21,400 and you're going to speak it. Lydia. 302 00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:25,400 Yeah, My God.

I'm just going to think. 306 00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:36,720 I'm not going to say. I just think. 307 00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:39,240 So. I mean, you can think you 308 00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:44,720 blessed, but until you speak it, fight gets released. 309 00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:51,400 God's blessing is on me. And so I'm not saying listen, 310 00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:54,640 because this world is not a trouble free world, right? 311 00:18:54,640 --> 00:18:57,160 There's there won't be troubles. We live in a fallen world. 312 00:18:57,720 --> 00:19:00,040 We live in a real world, OK, there'll be troubles. 313 00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:03,080 So I'm not saying you want to have troubles, troubles. 314 00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:05,160 It comes to all of us. We all do. 315 00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:10,600 But you get to decide who has got the final words because the 316 00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:13,360 trouble or the situation or the circumstance or the word 317 00:19:13,360 --> 00:19:15,480 pressure might say something, but the Word of God says 318 00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:18,760 something else. OK, So you get to decide which 319 00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:23,000 one you're going to speak, which one you're going to declare, OK, 320 00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:27,080 are you going to be speaking the problem or the difficulty or the 321 00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:31,560 challenges or are you going to be speaking the word because 322 00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:35,080 there's one report on one diagnosis, medical diagnosis, 323 00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:37,360 whatever, and then there is another. 324 00:19:37,360 --> 00:19:39,680 And then you find the promise in the Word of God. 325 00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:44,080 And so this week you are going to be announcing, instead of 326 00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:47,360 thinking about the worst case scenario, you're going to be 327 00:19:47,360 --> 00:19:49,760 announcing the promise. You're going to be announcing 328 00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:51,680 the word of God. You're going to be speaking 329 00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:54,440 God's promise over the situation. 330 00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:57,800 So the doctor, the medical report, oh, the sickness, 331 00:19:57,800 --> 00:20:02,920 There's the the word of the Lord says by he stripes, I am healed. 332 00:20:03,360 --> 00:20:05,520 Hallelujah, somebody. Yeah. 333 00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:07,160 And so you're going to be speaking it. 334 00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:09,640 You're going to be declaring it because there's healing in your 335 00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:12,200 mouth. There's a miracle in your mouth. 336 00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:15,080 There's peace in your mouth. There's victory in your mouth. 337 00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:17,640 There is deliverance and freedom in your mouth. 338 00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:22,680 There is blessing in your mouth. Come on. 339 00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:24,840 Somebody to say that there's blessing in my mouth? 340 00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:27,760 Tell you and I'm gonna say there's a blessing in your 341 00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:29,560 mouth.

There's a blessing in your 345 00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:39,280 mouth. There's a blessing in your 346 00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:42,800 mouth, and that's what we do with our mouth. 347 00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:48,080 We place the Lord. Bless the Lord. 348 00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:57,320 Oh my soul, Oh my soul, Worship peace, holy name. 349 00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:07,000 Sing like never before. Oh my soul I'll worship peace, 350 00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:19,440 holy name, bless the Lord of my soul, of my soul shall peace, 351 00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:26,240 holy name sing like never before. 352 00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:35,000 Oh, my soul will shall peace, holy name. 353 00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:37,200 Amen. Wow, wow, wow. 354 00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:40,880 Shall we speak the blessing? We bless a lot. 355 00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:43,960 We bless one another. We bless, we speak blessings. 356 00:21:44,360 --> 00:21:46,280 Now generally, we talk a lot about praying. 357 00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:48,560 Now we pray. But I want you to see that 358 00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:53,000 because there's a difference. There's something we pray, yes, 359 00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:56,480 but there's something powerful, also very powerful about 360 00:21:56,480 --> 00:21:59,240 nuclearization. OK. 361 00:22:00,360 --> 00:22:02,640 And so, yes, we're not just talking about praying. 362 00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:07,720 But, yeah, today the emphasis is not just praying for people, but 363 00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:12,600 speaking and declaring, placing over people. 364 00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:16,960 So I want you to so put prayer. Yes, we probably need to see 365 00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:18,960 that there. But then there comes a moment 366 00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:25,280 where we shift over and you bless you, bless that person. 367 00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:28,880 OK, You speak a blessing. So yeah, because the the 368 00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:32,120 blessing must be spoken. You know, I heard a story about 369 00:22:32,120 --> 00:22:37,960 this remote village in Welsh. This man, he, he released the 370 00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:40,720 blessing. So he spoke blessing. 371 00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:46,040 And so when he said I bless you. And she said I'm favored. 372 00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:51,120 A lady who lived with chronic back pain her whole life. 373 00:22:51,360 --> 00:22:54,520 She said when he when that leader, when I spoke the 374 00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:57,640 blessing, she said she felt the pain leave her body. 375 00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:03,160 Not a long prayer, not intercession prayer. 376 00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:09,280 OK, blessing the power of a spoken blessing. 377 00:23:11,120 --> 00:23:13,120 That's the power of numbers. Chapter 6. 378 00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:18,960 But all please and keep you simple words. 379 00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:22,840 But it blesses the person with protection and peace. 380 00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:26,760 So I want you to grab hold of his revelation because sometimes 381 00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:30,280 it's not like, oh Lord, if it's your world, please heal that 382 00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:33,160 person. No, no, listen, there's a moment 383 00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:38,720 where you shift into a higher power of spoken pleasing 384 00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:41,640 numbers. Chapter 6 And you said be 385 00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:52,050 healed, be prosperous, be blessed, be still at peace. 386 00:23:52,410 --> 00:23:56,170 You see that over and over. Jesus over and over, storm is 387 00:23:56,170 --> 00:23:58,890 still. He did not go into prayer mode 388 00:23:58,890 --> 00:24:00,290 on the boat when there was a storm. 389 00:24:00,290 --> 00:24:02,530 He did not know, Father, we need to pray about the storm. 390 00:24:02,530 --> 00:24:04,330 This is not difficult. No, no, no, no. 391 00:24:04,330 --> 00:24:07,530 Listen, there's a level of authority that God is taking us 392 00:24:07,530 --> 00:24:11,440 into. Jesus stood on that boat and he 393 00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:18,000 commanded pistol. OK, somebody's getting this. 394 00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:22,720 The Power of numbers, Chapter 6. OK, the difference between, you 395 00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:25,480 know, the difference between a fan and a windmill. 396 00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:31,480 Some people are like electric fans plugged in to the power and 397 00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:34,800 they release a refreshing breeze wherever they go. 398 00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:37,360 Oh, they compliment people, they encourage people, they 399 00:24:37,360 --> 00:24:39,160 strengthen people. They lift the room wherever they 400 00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:40,720 go. It's like electric fan. 401 00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:43,560 It's just like breeze. It's like that person that or 402 00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:47,120 wherever they go and they speak life at work, wherever they go, 403 00:24:47,120 --> 00:24:48,960 they speak life. You actually want to be around 404 00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:51,280 that person all the time because wherever they go, they lift the 405 00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:53,800 room, they speak. It's like wow, the people around 406 00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:56,640 that person because every time they speak, they speak life. 407 00:24:57,360 --> 00:25:02,040 But then some people, they're like a windmill only moves when 408 00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:06,080 the conditions are perfect. A windmill. 409 00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:08,800 That's the thing with the windmill. 410 00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:12,120 A windmill, it only moves when something pushes it. 411 00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:18,520 OK, Church, this is not the season to be a windmill, OK, To 412 00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:21,160 wait for better days, wait for better conditions. 413 00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:23,000 When everything is perfect, we got to wait. 414 00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:28,600 No, this is the season to be like electric fat plugged in so 415 00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:33,200 you stay connected and you bring out a fresh freeze wherever you 416 00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:34,760 go. You complement people. 417 00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:37,120 And we are coaching our kids now. 418 00:25:37,120 --> 00:25:38,520 My first. I'm teaching now. 419 00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:41,720 I'm like my sister, my son. When When Paul has something 420 00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:43,120 nice and he kicks the ball nicely. 421 00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:46,640 Well done, Paul. Complement one another. 422 00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:48,120 Instead of fighting, Argue. Listen. 423 00:25:48,120 --> 00:25:50,680 Let's complement each other. When they kick the ball. 424 00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:52,920 I want to listen. We just want to pick up. 425 00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:55,240 OK. But all of a sudden, all you 426 00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:57,880 know, listen. Be happy for him. 427 00:25:57,880 --> 00:26:02,080 Compliment Him to complement each other. 428 00:26:02,360 --> 00:26:08,080 OK, this is a season that we are going to step into where we're 429 00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:10,240 blessing because it's not just, I'm not just talking about 430 00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:13,040 positive speaking. This is Bible. 431 00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:18,760 Can I go deeper? Isaiah 61, the Bible says the 432 00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:24,960 Spirit of the Lord is on him to proclaim, to announce the good 433 00:26:25,040 --> 00:26:29,280 news. That's declaration, that's 434 00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:34,640 proclamation, that's and so to proclaim the good news, freedom, 435 00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:38,000 breakthrough. And so Hosea, you went about 436 00:26:38,120 --> 00:26:41,000 going around declaring, speaking blessing. 437 00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:49,320 Now watch this In the New Testament, Jesus repeats the 438 00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:53,280 same declaration in the book of Luke chapter 4. 439 00:26:53,360 --> 00:26:57,080 He stands up in the synagogue, and of all the passages, he 440 00:26:57,080 --> 00:27:02,760 chooses the very same passage of declaration that Heziah 61 did. 441 00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:07,880 And Jesus did not keep it private to himself. 442 00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:11,840 Jesus did not put a mask and whisper it to himself and keep 443 00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:17,720 it private. Jesus declared Jesus proclaimed 444 00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:21,920 that he announced the the scroll of the Lord is upon me to Prince 445 00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:24,520 to proclaim to announce good news. 446 00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:34,800 And then Jesus as he says this, he goes on, he says this is for 447 00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:39,920 fault. He announces this is for, for 448 00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:45,640 that tells me something. Declaration activates destiny. 449 00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:50,640 Declaration. When you put God's words, what 450 00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:55,480 God says in your mouth and you declare it, you activate your 451 00:27:55,480 --> 00:28:03,040 destiny. Surely you activate destiny. 452 00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:09,000 You put your faith in motion when you say what God says and 453 00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:14,800 you speak the word of God. Can you say I mean, somebody OK. 454 00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:19,480 Because when you speak what God says, faith kicks in and you 455 00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:25,240 activate it and you speak it. That's the seed and that's the 456 00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:30,120 fruit you eat tomorrow. So what do you want to see 457 00:28:30,120 --> 00:28:32,520 tomorrow in your life? What do you want to see in your 458 00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:34,040 future? Speak it. 459 00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:36,120 Plant that seed and you'll eat the fruit. 460 00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:45,640 Words are powerful. Words have the ability to save 461 00:28:45,640 --> 00:28:51,520 the direction of our lives. And then, and you know, the 462 00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:55,040 reason some people are not reaching their full potential is 463 00:28:55,040 --> 00:29:01,160 because they never declare. They never reach a full 464 00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:05,800 potential because they never declare and say what God says 465 00:29:05,800 --> 00:29:09,600 about it. Oh, God says, oh, OK. 466 00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:16,800 And no one has ever declared over them what they can become 467 00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:22,440 very important. Because years ago I did not want 468 00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:25,160 to be a pastor. I was studying sports sciences. 469 00:29:25,160 --> 00:29:28,520 I was a top athlete, 1A size. That's my career. 470 00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:32,800 Training professionals #1 karate guy, world champion. 471 00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:35,880 I trained Olympic athletes well in her bed. 472 00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:37,880 Buddy spray. OK, I know all that, all of 473 00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:39,440 that. I did not. 474 00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:42,520 I said to the show, but now watch this. 475 00:29:44,720 --> 00:29:50,360 She was the first one she called, she declared it. 476 00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:57,160 She declared the man of God, you are a pastor. 477 00:29:59,800 --> 00:30:02,160 I nearly fell off my wolves. I was so shocked. 478 00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:05,160 I'm like, please don't say that ever again. 479 00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:08,520 Just I don't want to be a pastor. 480 00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:12,080 I never want to be behind the pulpit. 481 00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:14,960 Be a pastor. I'm a sports number one in South 482 00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:18,680 Africa. Hurdlers, I can run fast, I can 483 00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:20,520 do sports, you can take me any sports. 484 00:30:20,560 --> 00:30:23,600 I can tell you anything about sports, interest and the whole 485 00:30:23,600 --> 00:30:27,200 lot, all of it. You call me pastor. 486 00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:33,960 She spoke a blessing. And what should we do with our 487 00:30:33,960 --> 00:30:37,560 children? And you speak that over a 488 00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:44,280 person's life, what they can become, not what's wrong, what 489 00:30:44,280 --> 00:30:45,920 we're doing wrong. No, we don't speak. 490 00:30:46,080 --> 00:30:49,760 We seek what they can become the future leaders of tomorrow. 491 00:30:49,760 --> 00:30:56,920 We speak over our kids. And so today is a new day. 492 00:30:56,920 --> 00:30:59,000 It's a brand new day. God's doing something brand new. 493 00:31:00,440 --> 00:31:04,240 God sent me here today to tell you, get ready for a fresh 494 00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:08,920 blessing. Oh, first blessing, fresh 495 00:31:08,920 --> 00:31:13,120 blessing, fresh words. Somebody's about to get a fresh 496 00:31:13,360 --> 00:31:16,680 blessing. Fresh words from heaven today, 497 00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:21,520 Hallelujah. We're about to get a reset. 498 00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:24,080 In your spirit. You have come to the right place 499 00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:26,200 today. You've come to the right place, 500 00:31:26,440 --> 00:31:27,880 Hallelujah. Because there's a fresh 501 00:31:27,880 --> 00:31:30,040 blessing. There's a fresh. 502 00:31:30,040 --> 00:31:33,680 Somebody say fresh blessing. Oh, Hallelujah. 503 00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:36,000 I'm super excited. Phrase blessing is coming on my 504 00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:37,120 life. Come on, say it. 505 00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:40,880 Phrase blessing is coming on my life. 506 00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:46,480 Starting at phrase blessing is coming on my life. 507 00:31:46,480 --> 00:31:48,080 Yeah. Yeah. 508 00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:50,160 Because life happens, Disappointment happens, hurt 509 00:31:50,160 --> 00:31:51,240 happens. We got through life. 510 00:31:51,240 --> 00:31:53,680 It gets busy and we need a fresh blessing. 511 00:31:54,320 --> 00:31:56,160 OK. I hope you can live on on last 512 00:31:56,160 --> 00:31:57,960 year's blessing. I will need fresh blessing. 513 00:31:58,760 --> 00:32:01,160 Oh, my God, why don't we do? I'm like, listen, we're here for 514 00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:05,840 something fresh, OK? Yeah, We're ready for a fresh 515 00:32:05,840 --> 00:32:07,120 blessing. Oh, it's fresh. 516 00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:08,560 It's fresh. I'm telling you fresh. 517 00:32:09,080 --> 00:32:12,600 And that's because you ended. Not because you did everything 518 00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:17,280 right, but because he's good. Because he knows how to open the 519 00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:20,400 door that you couldn't open. How to heal you that you 520 00:32:20,400 --> 00:32:23,320 couldn't heal OK. How to restore what you thought 521 00:32:23,320 --> 00:32:26,120 was God. OK. 522 00:32:26,120 --> 00:32:30,320 And so let's bring it closer to home, because the 1st place your 523 00:32:30,320 --> 00:32:33,280 word should build is not just your workplace, but each other, 524 00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:38,640 OK? And so most of our biggest 525 00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:45,080 battles are not on stage. It's at the dinner table, in the 526 00:32:45,080 --> 00:32:48,720 car, in the hallway. Everyday moments when you are 527 00:32:48,720 --> 00:32:56,160 tired, stretched, feeling overborn, down pressure, and you 528 00:32:56,160 --> 00:33:02,600 are tempted to speak quickly instead of speaking kindly. 529 00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:07,440 OK, now we're going somewhere because that's exactly where God 530 00:33:07,440 --> 00:33:11,960 wants the blessing to live. OK, we bring it back home and 531 00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:15,560 family situations that that's where God wants, not just church 532 00:33:15,560 --> 00:33:19,320 language, home language because you're a final spot at home. 533 00:33:20,120 --> 00:33:25,560 OK, so your family, right, your loved ones, the people that God 534 00:33:25,560 --> 00:33:30,960 has placed in your life, OK, They are not there by accident, 535 00:33:32,560 --> 00:33:34,600 OK? Your spouse, your kids, your 536 00:33:34,600 --> 00:33:37,040 children, the loved ones family, right? 537 00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:39,800 They're not there by accident. Your spouse is not an accident. 538 00:33:39,920 --> 00:33:41,720 Your kids, they're not an accident, OK? 539 00:33:41,720 --> 00:33:45,440 They are gift from God. Now, Yes, baby, some spouses or 540 00:33:45,440 --> 00:33:49,120 family members that may have some faults, some mistakes, 541 00:33:49,520 --> 00:33:55,040 failures, OK, yeah. But don't take them for granted 542 00:33:57,720 --> 00:34:02,480 because value them because you don't place what you take for 543 00:34:02,480 --> 00:34:05,920 granted. You place what you honor. 544 00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:10,480 You place what you value, right? That's what you place. 545 00:34:10,920 --> 00:34:19,159 OK, Now a lot of us think, well, you know, they know that I love 546 00:34:19,159 --> 00:34:23,040 them. They know I love them because I 547 00:34:23,080 --> 00:34:26,560 I provide. Are they they know I love it. 548 00:34:26,560 --> 00:34:29,639 I'm there, I provide for them. I'm faithful. 549 00:34:30,520 --> 00:34:33,040 Now that is good, OK. And that's wonderful that you 550 00:34:33,040 --> 00:34:35,159 know that you think that they love you. 551 00:34:35,159 --> 00:34:39,719 OK, But here's the thing. Because people cannot live only 552 00:34:39,719 --> 00:34:43,880 on what you think. People cannot only live on what 553 00:34:43,880 --> 00:34:51,080 you meant or what you assume. OK, if it's heaven, so kind, it 554 00:34:51,080 --> 00:34:57,640 can still feel messy. And that's why encouragement is 555 00:34:57,640 --> 00:35:02,040 so important that we keep on encouraging each other, that we 556 00:35:02,040 --> 00:35:06,120 compliments, compliments. That's very because compliments 557 00:35:06,120 --> 00:35:10,360 they it's like glue compliments. It keeps the matters together. 558 00:35:11,280 --> 00:35:13,120 It's like it. It keeps a relationship 559 00:35:13,120 --> 00:35:16,280 together, complements it, sticks it. 560 00:35:16,320 --> 00:35:19,920 It keeps and holds it together. Complementing one another holds 561 00:35:19,920 --> 00:35:23,360 it together. And it's not that your home has 562 00:35:23,360 --> 00:35:29,160 no love, it's just that the love needs a voice. 563 00:35:30,160 --> 00:35:34,040 It needs to be expressed. It needs to be spoken out. 564 00:35:35,360 --> 00:35:37,520 So let's just talk about relationships for a little. 565 00:35:37,520 --> 00:35:40,800 But if that's OK, we'll just share on the talk about marriage 566 00:35:40,800 --> 00:35:43,720 for a moment, OK? Because this is one of the 567 00:35:43,720 --> 00:35:47,960 biggest places where your words, they matter. 568 00:35:47,960 --> 00:35:53,000 And it is in marriage and express love daily, every day, 569 00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:58,000 OK, Because yesterday's love doesn't feed today. 570 00:35:59,440 --> 00:36:03,440 That's yesterday. Look at how I got married ever 571 00:36:03,440 --> 00:36:06,520 20 years ago in Joburg, in Dingford on the golfers. 572 00:36:06,520 --> 00:36:07,360 They're beautiful. Yeah. 573 00:36:07,360 --> 00:36:09,840 I told my wife I love. But that was that was a while. 574 00:36:09,840 --> 00:36:13,400 That was 2 decades ago. OK. 575 00:36:14,520 --> 00:36:19,800 So keep it fresh. Express it daily, right. 576 00:36:20,640 --> 00:36:24,200 Every day we compliment. We speak to each other. 577 00:36:24,200 --> 00:36:27,480 OK, not because your spouse is weak, but your spouse is human. 578 00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:31,920 And listen, your spouse don't need a sermon, they need a 579 00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:35,040 sentence. I love you. 580 00:36:35,680 --> 00:36:38,160 I am proud of you. I believe. 581 00:36:39,960 --> 00:36:44,240 I mean somebody. So, man, let me just talk to the 582 00:36:44,240 --> 00:36:45,760 man. Is that OK? 583 00:36:45,760 --> 00:36:50,600 If I could talk to the man. Your wife should feel safer 584 00:36:50,600 --> 00:36:53,000 after talking to you, not smaller. 585 00:36:55,720 --> 00:37:00,240 OK because sharp words when it's too sharp it leaves a scar. 586 00:37:01,920 --> 00:37:07,400 Even if they say oh I'm sorry I did not mean it like that, it 587 00:37:07,400 --> 00:37:12,600 still leaves a scar. Like jokes, sarcasm, sarcasm. 588 00:37:13,200 --> 00:37:19,040 It cuts even if you say it was just each other sarcasm. 589 00:37:19,840 --> 00:37:27,400 OK, so basically place your wife, pull your wife, don't 590 00:37:27,400 --> 00:37:30,480 break your wife. Because here's the thing, when 591 00:37:30,480 --> 00:37:35,880 you speak life to her, you are speaking life in the atmosphere 592 00:37:35,880 --> 00:37:40,280 you live in because you live there in the house. 593 00:37:41,040 --> 00:37:44,640 So if you speak life to her, I'm like, listen, tree, the way you 594 00:37:44,640 --> 00:37:46,920 speak to her, you live in that atmosphere. 595 00:37:48,240 --> 00:37:50,720 So you speak life because you want life in the house. 596 00:37:50,720 --> 00:37:54,160 In that atmosphere, you speak life, you speak blessing, you 597 00:37:54,160 --> 00:37:59,680 strengthen your house. Now let me speak to the wives 598 00:37:59,680 --> 00:38:03,240 for a moment. Wives, your words carry power. 599 00:38:03,600 --> 00:38:07,600 Now the men, a lot of men that look very strong, very strong 600 00:38:07,600 --> 00:38:13,000 men, very strong on the outside. But listen, deep down inside, 601 00:38:13,160 --> 00:38:17,840 there is a longing. Please notice me. 602 00:38:18,960 --> 00:38:20,840 Please see me. Notice me. 603 00:38:20,840 --> 00:38:23,160 Anybody you know, just be proud of me. 604 00:38:23,400 --> 00:38:25,480 You know, I'm doing all of this. Just notice me. 605 00:38:25,480 --> 00:38:26,960 Be proud of me. Love me. 606 00:38:27,120 --> 00:38:29,400 OK. He's got that longing inside. 607 00:38:29,400 --> 00:38:33,680 Disbelieve in me. And so when you honor, because 608 00:38:33,960 --> 00:38:38,480 honor doesn't weaken a man, honor strengthens a man. 609 00:38:39,480 --> 00:38:42,360 He stands taller. He shows up stronger. 610 00:38:43,680 --> 00:38:48,720 So when a wife does words, the words that you speak to your 611 00:38:48,720 --> 00:38:53,360 husband, he will bring the priest out of him or you'll have 612 00:38:53,360 --> 00:38:57,600 a Superman. This guy will fly. 613 00:38:59,320 --> 00:39:03,720 You can make this guy fly. I am flying because of possible. 614 00:39:09,200 --> 00:39:12,680 I would not have been here standing blinding a choice as a 615 00:39:12,680 --> 00:39:14,480 pastor if it was not for my wife. 616 00:39:16,360 --> 00:39:19,280 I would have been in sports somewhere in South Africa, doing 617 00:39:19,280 --> 00:39:21,720 my own thing, living like a bachelor, doing one thing. 618 00:39:22,240 --> 00:39:27,440 My wife spoke these things. This power in your words. 619 00:39:27,440 --> 00:39:30,080 When you speak to a husband, lift him up. 620 00:39:31,840 --> 00:39:33,720 You speak to your husband, you're like you're going to make 621 00:39:33,720 --> 00:39:35,800 it. You're going to do great things. 622 00:39:36,080 --> 00:39:38,040 You speak those things into your husband. 623 00:39:38,800 --> 00:39:41,680 Oh my God, you don't have a Superman. 624 00:39:42,040 --> 00:39:46,160 Whoa, Hallelujah, strong. So this week just very simple, 625 00:39:46,160 --> 00:39:47,560 find 3 things. That's right. 626 00:39:48,600 --> 00:39:50,920 So when you look at it, you find 3 things that's right, they're 627 00:39:50,920 --> 00:39:52,600 good. And then you don't just think 628 00:39:52,600 --> 00:39:56,400 it, you speak it. You say, wow, I really 629 00:39:56,400 --> 00:39:58,240 appreciate the way that you work so hard. 630 00:39:58,280 --> 00:40:00,960 You work so hard. I really appreciate how you are. 631 00:40:01,320 --> 00:40:03,120 I appreciate how you are with the kids. 632 00:40:03,120 --> 00:40:07,400 I appreciate you're amazing how you always study and strong. 633 00:40:08,160 --> 00:40:10,040 How do you speak it? Speak those three things. 634 00:40:11,600 --> 00:40:14,320 So that's what you do. You say I'm so proud of you and 635 00:40:14,320 --> 00:40:19,160 then you express it daily. You express the love every day 636 00:40:19,760 --> 00:40:23,920 and you speak those words. I love you, I appreciate you. 637 00:40:25,520 --> 00:40:30,680 Because listen, you cannot microwave yesterday's love, 638 00:40:30,720 --> 00:40:34,360 yesterday's compliment and think that that is still going to 639 00:40:34,360 --> 00:40:35,760 taste fine. It tastes good. 640 00:40:38,880 --> 00:40:42,080 It's yesterday's compliment. It's microwave yesterday. 641 00:40:42,080 --> 00:40:45,960 It doesn't taste good today. And so, you know, Michelle knows 642 00:40:45,960 --> 00:40:49,360 that I love her. Now. 643 00:40:49,360 --> 00:40:53,560 It's easy for me to think, well, you know, I've, I've already 644 00:40:53,560 --> 00:40:55,840 told her like 1000 times I love her. 645 00:40:56,000 --> 00:40:58,160 And so it's very easy for me to think, well, I don't have to 646 00:40:58,160 --> 00:41:02,360 tell her again. But what I've learned is that 647 00:41:02,720 --> 00:41:05,880 people don't get tired of hearing the right words. 648 00:41:08,600 --> 00:41:12,200 So I tell her often. Oh, my darling, Michelle, you 649 00:41:12,200 --> 00:41:14,000 are so beautiful. OK. 650 00:41:14,240 --> 00:41:17,760 Yesterday, Valentine's Day. Wow, my Valentine, you are 651 00:41:17,760 --> 00:41:18,640 amazing. You're beautiful. 652 00:41:18,880 --> 00:41:23,440 Now, I didn't just stop there. At Valentine's Day again today, 653 00:41:23,440 --> 00:41:26,680 I told her, I love you, my darling, you are beautiful. 654 00:41:27,560 --> 00:41:30,320 You are the one. I'll marry you again in a 655 00:41:30,320 --> 00:41:41,520 second. OK, so she never once said oh, 656 00:41:41,520 --> 00:41:45,920 stop. Well, she never. 657 00:41:45,920 --> 00:41:48,520 She never said that. I've never heard her ever say 658 00:41:49,120 --> 00:41:51,720 and stop. Well, you know, I already know 659 00:41:51,720 --> 00:41:53,880 that you love me. I really doubt that. 660 00:41:53,880 --> 00:41:55,120 You've told me that I'm beautiful. 661 00:41:55,840 --> 00:42:02,800 She never said stop. No, she receives it. 662 00:42:02,800 --> 00:42:07,000 And again I said, hey, if I, I told you just you know, I love 663 00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:08,720 you yesterday, Valentine's, but can I to die? 664 00:42:08,720 --> 00:42:11,520 I just want to say I love you again and again. 665 00:42:13,280 --> 00:42:16,480 So what am I doing? I am speaking a blessing over my 666 00:42:16,480 --> 00:42:18,040 heart. I'm speaking a blessing over 667 00:42:18,040 --> 00:42:19,480 her. And you can do the same. 668 00:42:19,640 --> 00:42:22,200 You can speak a blessing over your loved ones, speak a 669 00:42:22,200 --> 00:42:25,120 blessing over your family, other people speak a blessing over 670 00:42:25,120 --> 00:42:27,120 somebody. OK. 671 00:42:27,640 --> 00:42:31,040 You know, even with Michelle, when she uploads the sermon on 672 00:42:31,040 --> 00:42:35,320 social media and she says to me, hey, well, hey, that was a great 673 00:42:35,320 --> 00:42:39,160 message that encourages me and inspires me. 674 00:42:39,920 --> 00:42:43,640 It strengthens me. I'm like, keep the compliments 675 00:42:43,640 --> 00:42:48,360 coming. I'm like, yeah, bring it on. 676 00:42:49,320 --> 00:42:54,000 Because encouragement strengthens people, OK, And 677 00:42:54,000 --> 00:42:59,160 people can't read your thoughts. So Michelle could thought all 678 00:42:59,160 --> 00:43:02,040 day long that was a good sermon unfolded. 679 00:43:02,280 --> 00:43:04,280 But her thoughts doesn't bless me. 680 00:43:06,240 --> 00:43:10,760 It's until she speaks it. A blessing is not a blessing 681 00:43:10,760 --> 00:43:18,240 until it's spoken. And so they need to yearn on a 682 00:43:18,240 --> 00:43:23,480 regular basis every day, not just on Valentine's Day, not 683 00:43:23,480 --> 00:43:27,600 just on the birthday, not just on the wedding day or the 684 00:43:27,600 --> 00:43:30,320 anniversary day, on a regular basis. 685 00:43:30,320 --> 00:43:34,360 Be generous with compliments. I'm telling you, wherever you 686 00:43:34,360 --> 00:43:38,280 go, people at work, wherever, complimenting one another every 687 00:43:38,280 --> 00:43:40,320 day, you tell them, listen, I love you. 688 00:43:40,320 --> 00:43:43,280 Just be generous every day. And so listen, let me just help 689 00:43:43,280 --> 00:43:47,520 some couples here, OK? Don't magnify the 20% that's 690 00:43:47,520 --> 00:43:52,000 wrong and ignore the 80% that's faithful. 691 00:43:53,200 --> 00:43:55,840 Come on, somebody, I'm just telling you this is I've been 692 00:43:55,840 --> 00:43:58,320 married for 20 years and I'm just giving you some practical 693 00:43:58,560 --> 00:44:01,720 stuff here because a lot of people, they just focus on the 694 00:44:01,720 --> 00:44:03,280 sword. That's wrong, OK. 695 00:44:03,280 --> 00:44:06,160 But when we got married, that wasn't an issue. 696 00:44:06,480 --> 00:44:09,600 But now years later, that becomes like a big issue now. 697 00:44:11,200 --> 00:44:13,760 So a lot of people, they just focus on the little bit that's 698 00:44:13,760 --> 00:44:16,800 wrong and they forget about all the good that's right. 699 00:44:17,880 --> 00:44:21,880 So focus on the 80% that is right and speak that, OK. 700 00:44:22,120 --> 00:44:24,520 Because sometimes the love isn't gone. 701 00:44:24,640 --> 00:44:27,600 It's just a love language that's gone cold. 702 00:44:30,320 --> 00:44:35,120 So let's say it out loud. Say my home will be full of 703 00:44:36,200 --> 00:44:42,240 placing words, starting at my home will be full of placing 704 00:44:42,240 --> 00:44:46,200 words. And parents, this matters so 705 00:44:46,200 --> 00:44:50,280 much because kids and children store words. 706 00:44:50,280 --> 00:44:54,960 They replay words, they keep those words, OK? 707 00:44:54,960 --> 00:44:59,240 So what you speak over them becomes part of them and how 708 00:44:59,240 --> 00:45:03,160 they see themselves, those words, OK. 709 00:45:03,680 --> 00:45:08,760 And so that's why speak blessing, speak identity, speak 710 00:45:08,760 --> 00:45:13,800 destiny, speak the future. You are a leader, you are kind, 711 00:45:13,800 --> 00:45:17,840 you are smart, you are called 'cause hand is on. 712 00:45:18,640 --> 00:45:22,400 I love you, I'm proud of you, I believe in you because there's 713 00:45:22,400 --> 00:45:25,960 that unique authority that God has placed in the home, 714 00:45:26,200 --> 00:45:29,560 especially on parents these days, mentors and leaders and 715 00:45:29,560 --> 00:45:34,160 coaches at schools, teachers carry a level of authority 716 00:45:34,160 --> 00:45:37,400 through words. But especially at home parents 717 00:45:38,360 --> 00:45:44,720 and especially the father who imparts this. 718 00:45:46,480 --> 00:45:51,120 Because when a dad, a father says something, I'm proud of 719 00:45:51,200 --> 00:45:56,680 you, it lags different, it carries weight, it releases 720 00:45:56,680 --> 00:46:01,000 security when a dad speaks over his kids. 721 00:46:01,800 --> 00:46:05,440 And so that's why some people today are still striving, still 722 00:46:05,440 --> 00:46:08,520 performing, still trying to prove they are enough, because 723 00:46:08,520 --> 00:46:15,760 they have never received one sentence than one sentence. 724 00:46:16,600 --> 00:46:20,640 They've never heard that one sentence from their parents. 725 00:46:21,240 --> 00:46:25,480 I'm proud of you, my son. And they miss. 726 00:46:27,440 --> 00:46:33,320 And that's when you look at David was overlooked by his own 727 00:46:33,320 --> 00:46:37,040 dad, by Jesus. Remember First Samuel chapter 728 00:46:37,040 --> 00:46:42,680 16, when the prophet Samuel comes to this house looking for 729 00:46:42,680 --> 00:46:45,840 the next king. And yes, JC lines up all his 730 00:46:45,840 --> 00:46:50,640 sons, but Miss David overlook David. 731 00:46:55,200 --> 00:46:57,320 And the sandals are listen, no, not this one. 732 00:46:57,440 --> 00:47:02,480 OK, so he the dad's day, he's got royalty in his house, but he 733 00:47:03,240 --> 00:47:08,000 he did not recognize it. OK. 734 00:47:08,840 --> 00:47:13,120 And so I wonder how many Davids are sitting at our tables, 735 00:47:14,480 --> 00:47:21,880 living under our roofs, and what they need to hear most. 736 00:47:22,800 --> 00:47:26,600 This is what they need most. Is somebody to speak a blessing 737 00:47:26,600 --> 00:47:31,120 under that? So don't miss the King or the 738 00:47:31,120 --> 00:47:34,800 Queen in your house, OK? Speak the blessing. 739 00:47:35,360 --> 00:47:37,520 Now, maybe you didn't get this from your parents. 740 00:47:37,520 --> 00:47:38,960 Maybe your parents weren't around. 741 00:47:38,960 --> 00:47:42,600 Maybe your father, earthly father were not around and you 742 00:47:42,600 --> 00:47:44,960 didn't get it. Maybe all that you got in your 743 00:47:44,960 --> 00:47:47,120 life was telling you what was wrong and you just got 744 00:47:47,120 --> 00:47:51,640 direction. And so here's the good news. 745 00:47:51,680 --> 00:47:57,360 That doesn't have to pass down, OK? 746 00:47:57,360 --> 00:48:01,280 You can be the difference maker. You can set the new standard in 747 00:48:01,280 --> 00:48:06,120 your home, OK, because real leaders, they speak blessing, OK 748 00:48:06,120 --> 00:48:09,640 Real leaders, coaches, mentors, teachers, OK, they speak, they 749 00:48:09,640 --> 00:48:13,120 speak life, OK. And so if you're carrying any of 750 00:48:13,120 --> 00:48:16,120 the great from the pastors and it's never too late, you can 751 00:48:16,120 --> 00:48:18,440 still speak a blessing to a family member, to somebody. 752 00:48:18,440 --> 00:48:19,960 You can it's not so never too late. 753 00:48:19,960 --> 00:48:23,640 You can bless your children, even if they're grown up, grown 754 00:48:23,640 --> 00:48:26,160 up kids, you still, it's never too late, right? 755 00:48:26,240 --> 00:48:30,320 So pick up the phone, send the text, set up lunch, say those 756 00:48:30,320 --> 00:48:33,960 words. OK, so let this be your decision 757 00:48:33,960 --> 00:48:36,680 today. I will not withhold the 758 00:48:36,680 --> 00:48:39,520 blessing. Come on, let's say it together. 759 00:48:39,840 --> 00:48:43,000 I will not withhold the blessing. 760 00:48:43,160 --> 00:48:46,520 Say it again. I will not withhold the blessing 761 00:48:46,680 --> 00:48:51,560 because I know not everyone receives blessed words in life. 762 00:48:52,000 --> 00:48:56,440 Now God does not leave you empty because the Bible says that he's 763 00:48:56,440 --> 00:49:00,080 a father to the fatherless. In the book of Psalm, chapter 764 00:49:00,080 --> 00:49:04,680 68, verse five, he's a father to the fatherless. 765 00:49:04,680 --> 00:49:06,200 Now let me tell you about him, man. 766 00:49:06,600 --> 00:49:09,880 His name is Ben Hooper, and he grew up with a single mom. 767 00:49:11,280 --> 00:49:14,680 And so he carried this pain in this womb of not knowing his 768 00:49:14,680 --> 00:49:18,200 father. And so one day he slipped into 769 00:49:18,200 --> 00:49:20,600 the back of the church. Hopefully no one for nobody to 770 00:49:20,600 --> 00:49:22,880 notice him sitting at the back of the church. 771 00:49:23,240 --> 00:49:32,600 And so after the service the past asked and he said who's 772 00:49:32,600 --> 00:49:37,760 childhood? And so the room went quiet and 773 00:49:37,760 --> 00:49:42,040 the pastor smiles and he says, I see the resemblance. 774 00:49:42,600 --> 00:49:50,400 You are a child of Almighty God. 01 moment, shame is broken off 775 00:49:50,400 --> 00:49:55,600 his life, rejection, isolation broken off his life and destiny, 776 00:49:55,600 --> 00:50:04,440 restore destiny, identity coming alive in a moment, one sentence. 777 00:50:05,120 --> 00:50:07,080 And that's what the Father is doing today. 778 00:50:07,400 --> 00:50:12,160 He's not naming you by your past, He's naming you by your 779 00:50:12,160 --> 00:50:15,120 belonging. God is your father. 780 00:50:15,760 --> 00:50:18,560 You might not have gotten this from your earthly dad, but you 781 00:50:18,560 --> 00:50:20,160 are getting from your heavenly Father. 782 00:50:20,480 --> 00:50:24,440 So God is our Father and what our Father to do. 783 00:50:24,680 --> 00:50:29,280 He is speaking blessing over you right now. 784 00:50:31,320 --> 00:50:34,120 Your father is saying over you now. 785 00:50:34,400 --> 00:50:37,280 I am proud of you, my son and my daughter. 786 00:50:37,960 --> 00:50:43,400 You are valuable. I love you my children. 787 00:50:44,640 --> 00:50:48,840 God is saying over you. You are going to do great 788 00:50:48,840 --> 00:50:52,440 things. Hallelujah, Hallelujah. 789 00:50:53,920 --> 00:50:59,280 God is my father. Somebody say God, he's my father 790 00:50:59,880 --> 00:51:05,400 and his blessing, he's on me. Give God surprise somebody. 791 00:51:10,760 --> 00:51:12,640 Is this OK? Is this help? 792 00:51:12,640 --> 00:51:16,760 Somebody OK? Can I throw one more in just 793 00:51:16,760 --> 00:51:19,080 because of time? Let me just, I'll close with one 794 00:51:19,080 --> 00:51:20,680 more. Taste the buddy. 795 00:51:20,920 --> 00:51:23,880 OK, one more, right. So let me close with this one. 796 00:51:24,880 --> 00:51:28,720 Robert. He grew up with his father and 797 00:51:28,720 --> 00:51:33,880 so his dad struggled and fought with alcoholism and so Robert 798 00:51:33,880 --> 00:51:37,120 did everything that he could to be the opposite of his dad. 799 00:51:37,520 --> 00:51:41,920 And so he became successful. Success, achievement, football, 800 00:51:42,000 --> 00:51:47,160 he became a star. But deep down Robert carried A 801 00:51:47,160 --> 00:51:52,120 wound. He carried pay because as far as 802 00:51:52,120 --> 00:51:56,320 he knew, his dad never came to one of his games. 803 00:51:57,440 --> 00:52:01,360 Not one game, not one sports. He never came to watch him play, 804 00:52:01,360 --> 00:52:05,160 not one game. He never had heard one single 805 00:52:05,160 --> 00:52:08,720 compliment from his dad. Never heard one. 806 00:52:09,360 --> 00:52:11,800 I am proud of you, my son. Never heard I love you. 807 00:52:11,800 --> 00:52:17,600 Never. And so years later, Robert found 808 00:52:17,600 --> 00:52:24,080 out about the truth that his dad had come to any of his games, 809 00:52:24,720 --> 00:52:29,560 but he just stood off for off hiding because she was feeling 810 00:52:29,560 --> 00:52:33,520 ashamed of his drinking. But his dad had come to the 811 00:52:33,520 --> 00:52:38,560 games, he was just hiding away. And so Robert thought that his 812 00:52:38,560 --> 00:52:46,680 dad doesn't care, but really, in reality, he does care. 813 00:52:47,360 --> 00:52:51,560 It's just his dad because of his drinking, struggling with his 814 00:52:51,600 --> 00:52:53,480 drinking. He just didn't know how to 815 00:52:53,520 --> 00:52:56,440 express his love to his son. He just didn't know how to speak 816 00:52:56,440 --> 00:53:00,560 it and say to his son the right way. 817 00:53:01,840 --> 00:53:05,400 And then one day the phone rang. Your dad had a heart attack 818 00:53:05,880 --> 00:53:08,840 might not make it. Robert rushed to the hospital 819 00:53:09,000 --> 00:53:11,720 very quickly got into the hospital, writing machines, 820 00:53:11,720 --> 00:53:14,880 beeping quiet room, heavy moment. 821 00:53:15,480 --> 00:53:21,240 And his father is in drifting in and out, confused consciousness 822 00:53:21,240 --> 00:53:28,960 drifting in and out. And in that days, my God, his 823 00:53:28,960 --> 00:53:34,400 dad thinks that his son Robert is the doctor. 824 00:53:36,200 --> 00:53:40,720 And all of a sudden, out of no way, the blessing comes out. 825 00:53:43,160 --> 00:53:47,240 His father says, oh, doctor, have I ever told you about my 826 00:53:47,240 --> 00:53:51,560 son Robert? Oh, my son Robert, how proud I 827 00:53:51,560 --> 00:53:55,440 am of him. And he starts talking about and 828 00:53:55,440 --> 00:53:57,600 bragging about really son's life. 829 00:53:58,960 --> 00:54:02,720 He's a wonderful son. Doctor, I told you how much I 830 00:54:02,720 --> 00:54:07,840 love my son. I love watching play sports. 831 00:54:07,840 --> 00:54:13,280 And he says that he thinks this is the doctor and the place he 832 00:54:13,280 --> 00:54:15,400 comes out. Nice doctor. 833 00:54:15,880 --> 00:54:18,840 And now he's even a pastor and he's doing great things. 834 00:54:18,840 --> 00:54:21,040 My son Robert. I'm so proud of him, doctor. 835 00:54:22,360 --> 00:54:26,880 And right there, Robert has a grown man, right? 836 00:54:27,920 --> 00:54:31,720 Tears streaming down. He's weeping, tears streaming 837 00:54:31,720 --> 00:54:37,080 down his face because right there in the hospital room, he 838 00:54:37,080 --> 00:54:42,480 heard the words that he waited 30 years to. 839 00:54:42,480 --> 00:54:45,960 Yeah. And he heard those words. 840 00:54:45,960 --> 00:54:50,720 That's hated. He didn't need another trophy. 841 00:54:51,000 --> 00:54:54,320 He didn't need another medal. He didn't need another title. 842 00:54:55,160 --> 00:55:00,560 He didn't need more success. He needed a sentence from his 843 00:55:00,560 --> 00:55:01,720 dad. A church. 844 00:55:02,000 --> 00:55:08,480 They someone in Gore world that needs a sentence from you. 845 00:55:09,760 --> 00:55:12,760 There's someone in your family, in your world around you. 846 00:55:13,480 --> 00:55:15,760 They need to hear a sentence from you. 847 00:55:16,880 --> 00:55:22,720 They are waiting on you for a sentence to speak the blessing 848 00:55:22,760 --> 00:55:25,560 over them. They are waiting for you to 849 00:55:25,560 --> 00:55:29,440 speak life. Just one sentence, not a long 850 00:55:29,440 --> 00:55:33,200 speech, just a blessing. I'm proud of you, I love you. 851 00:55:33,640 --> 00:55:38,640 I believe in you. Because a blessing is not a 852 00:55:38,640 --> 00:55:44,040 blessing until it spoke. And so there's Robert's dad. 853 00:55:45,200 --> 00:55:48,840 It came out in a hospital room. The blessing. 854 00:55:48,840 --> 00:55:52,120 Finally, it cannot. Finally Robert heard those 855 00:55:52,120 --> 00:55:54,040 words. Finally that he waited for 30 856 00:55:54,040 --> 00:55:57,040 years and the blessing cannot. And his dad waited for all those 857 00:55:57,400 --> 00:56:00,040 till hospital. You don't have to wait. 858 00:56:03,520 --> 00:56:07,480 Speak life while there is still time. 859 00:56:09,080 --> 00:56:12,240 Speak life while house can still heal. 860 00:56:14,920 --> 00:56:19,400 Don't wait for a critical moment. 861 00:56:19,400 --> 00:56:22,080 Don't wait for a funeral. Don't wait for regret. 862 00:56:23,240 --> 00:56:27,920 Don't wait for a crisis. These family members, they are 863 00:56:27,920 --> 00:56:31,800 waiting on you.

Without hearing I love you, I'm 883 00:57:45,240 --> 00:57:47,160 proud of you without hearing that. 884 00:57:47,800 --> 00:57:53,160 And you have been trying to earn and perform and strive just to 885 00:57:53,160 --> 00:57:55,080 feel secure.
