SPEAKER_00: Like, this is the difference between a life that is a desert or a wilderness and a life that is a well-watered garden.
0:43
SPEAKER_00: This is going to be so good.
0:46
SPEAKER_00: All right.
0:47
SPEAKER_00: And favor, favor is not just, I mean, like we may have heard the word, we don't really know what it means.
0:53
SPEAKER_00: But really, favor talks about God delighting in you, being pleased with you, approving of you, having goodwill towards you.
1:02
SPEAKER_00: And goodwill means that God is for you and God wants good for you and He acts on it.
1:08
SPEAKER_00: What?
1:10
SPEAKER_00: Like our entire lives are about to be changed, okay?
1:15

SPEAKER_00: I'm really smart, but I'm not that smart.
1:30
SPEAKER_00: I'm really hardworking.
1:32
SPEAKER_00: I have a great work ethic.
1:34
SPEAKER_00: I don't work that hard, right?
1:36
SPEAKER_00: I'm really connected.
1:38
SPEAKER_00: I'm not that connected.
1:39
SPEAKER_00: There are things that I'm that are happening in my life that cannot be explained by my power and might.
1:48
SPEAKER_00: Now, do I deploy my power and might?
1:50
SPEAKER_00: Yes.
1:51
SPEAKER_00: But can I say my power might did this?
1:53
SPEAKER_00: No.
1:54
SPEAKER_00: No.
1:54
SPEAKER_00: And we're going to see this because after today, after today, your life is going to go to a whole new level as far as you living a life that is a well-water garden.

SPEAKER_00: I see you guys like well-water garden, well-water garden.
2:10

SPEAKER_00: So let's get into this because this is this is going to change your life.
2:16
SPEAKER_00: Um, and what we're talking about is not something that is going to change your life in the sweet by and by.
2:22
SPEAKER_00: It's going to start changing your life.
2:24
SPEAKER_00: Like in the next 24 hours, you are going to start having breakthroughs in this.
2:30
SPEAKER_00: That is you establishing your expectation.
2:32
SPEAKER_00: This is not something I'm expecting to work in the sweet by and by.
2:35
SPEAKER_00: This is something I'm going to start seeing results in in the next 24 hours.
2:38
SPEAKER_00: God is that kind of God.
2:40
SPEAKER_00: Okay.
2:40
SPEAKER_00: And over the next seven days, we are going to you, we're going to build this into our consciousness where this is now our expectation.
2:50
SPEAKER_00: Okay, our expectation.
2:51
SPEAKER_00: Okay.
2:52
SPEAKER_00: Now, just so everybody knows, right?
2:54
SPEAKER_00: I want to make sure we're on the same page.
2:56
SPEAKER_00: Last week we talked about seven days of boldness where we were going to stop fear from stopping us.
3:03
SPEAKER_00: We had four verses we were meditating in.
3:06
SPEAKER_00: We did this in the Success by the Book app.
3:08
SPEAKER_00: You meditated, you did the seven days.
3:10
SPEAKER_00: You're you're like, oh my goodness, I'm bolder.
3:12
SPEAKER_00: Like Dr.
3:12
SPEAKER_00: Una, you're not making this stuff up.
3:14
SPEAKER_00: Like the word of God is so good.
3:16
SPEAKER_00: I was meditating on it.
3:17
SPEAKER_00: That don't be afraid.
3:18
SPEAKER_00: I am with you.
3:20
SPEAKER_00: Don't be, don't be discouraged.
3:21
SPEAKER_00: I'm your God.
3:22
SPEAKER_00: I will strengthen you.
3:23
SPEAKER_00: I will help you.
3:23
SPEAKER_00: I will uphold you with my victorious right hand, right?
3:27
SPEAKER_00: Yep, yep.
3:28
SPEAKER_00: I'm bolder.
3:29
SPEAKER_00: Can you imagine that in seven days we went from afraid to bold?
3:35
SPEAKER_00: We went from afraid to bold.
3:37
SPEAKER_00: I was reading the winds um, you know, on the app.
3:40
SPEAKER_00: I'm like, oh my goodness, look at these people.
3:42
SPEAKER_00: They're unstoppable.
3:43
SPEAKER_00: So now last week, over the last seven days, so today's the last day, we've gone from fear to bold.
3:51
SPEAKER_00: And now from today, we're going to go from overlooked to favored.
3:56
SPEAKER_00: Over the next seven days, overlooked to favored.
3:59
SPEAKER_00: So now we'll be bold and favored.
4:01
SPEAKER_00: And who knows what God will let us do after that.
4:03
SPEAKER_00: Can you guys see what God is up to?
4:05
SPEAKER_00: Like every seven days, we're going to have a significant transformation.
4:10
SPEAKER_00: Okay.
4:10
SPEAKER_00: If you have not down, if you don't have the app yet, the team has posted the link in the chat and they'll keep posting all through this session.
4:17
SPEAKER_00: Grab it, download it, you know, install it on your phone, do all the things.
4:22
SPEAKER_00: And my goodness, this is designed to change your life.
4:26
SPEAKER_00: Okay.
4:26
SPEAKER_00: All right, Dr.
4:27
SPEAKER_00: Una, don't get too excited.
4:28
SPEAKER_00: We we we're coming to the excited part.
4:31
SPEAKER_00: Seven days.
4:33
SPEAKER_00: Overlooked to favor.
4:34
SPEAKER_00: Seven days.
4:35
SPEAKER_00: But let me tell you what favor means again.
4:37
SPEAKER_00: Now remember, we're people who meditate.
4:39
SPEAKER_00: Okay.
4:40
SPEAKER_00: So we're gonna do a live meditation on the four verses we're going to work on for the next seven days.
4:46
SPEAKER_00: Okay, that's gonna trigger this whole overlooked to favored business.
4:50
SPEAKER_00: Okay.
4:51
SPEAKER_00: Now, when we when we meditate, there are a number of things we do.
4:55
SPEAKER_00: We pray and ask God for understanding of the scriptures because we know the fact that we can read it and it's in English doesn't mean we got it.
5:03
SPEAKER_00: We understand that we need revelation.
5:05
SPEAKER_00: So we pray, okay?
5:06
SPEAKER_00: We read it, right?
5:07
SPEAKER_00: Because you have to have the thing to meditate on.
5:09
SPEAKER_00: So we read the word and we read to understand, we read to bring it home, we read to personalize it, we read to do all of that stuff.
5:18
SPEAKER_00: So number one, we pray, number two, we read.
5:19
SPEAKER_00: Number three, we write and we write to slow our brains all the way down so we can spend more time immersed in the word of God.
5:26
SPEAKER_00: So we write.
5:27
SPEAKER_00: That's number three.
5:27
SPEAKER_00: Number four, we see it, we visualize it, right?
5:31
SPEAKER_00: So when we start visualizing, like for instance, fear, part of the visualization is you look for things that you you're typically afraid to do, and you're like, wait, you now visualize yourself doing it, visualize yourself doing it confidently, visualize all of that stuff.
5:46
SPEAKER_00: That's part of the visualization.
5:48
SPEAKER_00: As we go through favor, you're gonna visualize.
5:50
SPEAKER_00: Like, if this was true in my life, what would it look like?
5:52
SPEAKER_00: We're literally making up movies with the word of God.
5:56
SPEAKER_00: So good, so good.
5:57
SPEAKER_00: Okay, so we pray, we read, we write, right?
6:00
SPEAKER_00: We see it, we visualize it.
6:02
SPEAKER_00: Number five, we declare it.
6:05
SPEAKER_00: We declare it.
6:06
SPEAKER_00: I will not fear, I do not fear, for God is with me.
6:09
SPEAKER_00: And I don't get discouraged because God is my God, God strengthens me, God helps me, God upholds me with his victorious right hand.
6:16
SPEAKER_00: Even though I go through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil.
6:20
SPEAKER_00: For his run and his staff, they comfort me.
6:22
SPEAKER_00: Do you see that?
6:23
SPEAKER_00: We're declaring the word of God, we're speaking it out of our mouth.
6:26
SPEAKER_00: And then the final thing we do is that we prepare to act.
6:30
SPEAKER_00: Because what God told Joshua is this book of the law will not depart out of your mouth, but you meditate in it day and night, so you observe to do.
6:38
SPEAKER_00: We are not people who meditate to meditate.
6:41
SPEAKER_00: We meditate so our minds are shifted.
6:43
SPEAKER_00: We meditate so we know what to do.
6:46
SPEAKER_00: Right?
6:47
SPEAKER_00: We know what to do.
6:48
SPEAKER_00: So that means if I truly believe that, you know, like I don't fear that God is with me, and I've imagined that okay, this situation I had been afraid of, I've been afraid of going on this stage and speaking on this stage, but now I know I can say yes to that speaking invitation because God said, you know, go ahead.
7:03
SPEAKER_00: I'm like, I'm with you, go ahead.
7:04
SPEAKER_00: And when I go on stage, I go with him, right?
7:07
SPEAKER_00: I go with him.
7:08
SPEAKER_00: So the action is, well, I say yes to the speaking engagement.
7:12
SPEAKER_00: The action is when I go, I go with him.
7:15
SPEAKER_00: The action is when I show up, I refuse to be afraid.
7:18
SPEAKER_00: I show up, I own the stage.
7:21
SPEAKER_00: You do you guys see that?
7:22
SPEAKER_00: Okay, so whatever the action is, and this is what brings it full circle.
7:27
SPEAKER_00: So we so that's why we can meditate for three hours.
7:30
SPEAKER_00: You guys know in our prayer thongs, we meditate for the you we can meditate for three hours.
7:34
SPEAKER_00: Why?
7:34
SPEAKER_00: Because you can pray, you can read, you can write, you can visualize, you can speak, you can download the action steps.
7:41
SPEAKER_00: You have a verse that you're like, ooh, this is nice, but you know in your heart of hearts, you don't believe it.
7:46
SPEAKER_00: You know in your heart of hearts, you don't get it.
7:49
SPEAKER_00: You know in your heart of hearts, like I see it, and I can imagine God will do it for somebody, but I can't see how it happened for me.
7:54
SPEAKER_00: This is not a problem.
7:56
SPEAKER_00: This is not a problem.
7:57
SPEAKER_00: What you now do is you take it, you can write it on a three by five index card.
8:02
SPEAKER_00: You take it and you're pacing and you're praying.
8:03
SPEAKER_00: You're like, open my eyes, Lord, give me a revelation of this scripture.
8:06
SPEAKER_00: Let the blindness be rolled away, let your lights penetrate my darkness.
8:09
SPEAKER_00: You pray in the spirit, and you're praying in the spirit, Lord, open my eyes.
8:12
SPEAKER_00: Because let me tell you something, God is faithful.
8:14
SPEAKER_00: And if you cry to Him to open up a scripture, he will unlock it for you.
8:18
SPEAKER_00: Favor was actually something that I didn't understand.
8:20
SPEAKER_00: I would listen to messages on it, I did, because I understand how to work.
8:25
SPEAKER_00: I understand how to work.
8:26
SPEAKER_00: I have a great work ethic.
8:27
SPEAKER_00: So I'm like, I don't understand.
8:28
SPEAKER_00: You just you just work, and then God does a lot of stuff.
8:30
SPEAKER_00: Like this makes no sense to me.
8:32
SPEAKER_00: I literally had to take it and take walks, and I'm praying.
8:35
SPEAKER_00: I'm like, unpack it, Lord.
8:36
SPEAKER_00: Then I will say it out loud, unpack it, Lord.
8:38
SPEAKER_00: I'll look at it again, unpack it, Lord.
8:40
SPEAKER_00: I'll pray in the spirit.
8:41
SPEAKER_00: I'm just going at it, knowing that God is faithful.
8:44
SPEAKER_00: And now is like because He will give you light.
8:49
SPEAKER_00: You must understand, God will give me light.
8:52
SPEAKER_00: I can know things I didn't know.
8:54
SPEAKER_00: I can know things I don't know now.
8:57
SPEAKER_00: I can have revelation of things that I don't have revelation of now.
9:00
SPEAKER_00: I can because I have God and He has all the revelation, all the wisdom, all the understanding, all the knowledge, which means I can get it from Him.
9:06
SPEAKER_00: Oh, it is such a game.
9:08
SPEAKER_00: Like if you understand this truth, it will change your life.
9:11
SPEAKER_00: I can know what I don't know.
9:13
SPEAKER_00: So if I don't know, it's not a problem because I can know what I don't know.
9:17
SPEAKER_00: I can believe what I don't believe right now.
9:19
SPEAKER_00: I can have revelation of something I don't have revelation of right now.
9:23
SPEAKER_00: I can get something I don't get right now.
9:25
SPEAKER_00: So if I don't get it, not a problem.
9:30
SPEAKER_00: Not a problem at all.
9:33
unknown: Not a problem.
9:34
SPEAKER_00: Not a problem.
9:35
SPEAKER_00: Okay.
9:36
SPEAKER_00: Okay, so let's look at these first, these four verses.
9:39
SPEAKER_00: Okay.
9:40
SPEAKER_00: So last week we did four verses for seven days of boldness.
9:45
SPEAKER_00: Okay.
9:45
SPEAKER_00: Now we're gonna look at four verses for seven days of favor.
9:51
SPEAKER_00: Oh my goodness.
9:51
SPEAKER_00: Okay, so favor, let's let's look at some words.
9:54
SPEAKER_00: Okay, I want to make sure we understand this.
9:56
SPEAKER_00: Okay, so favor is delight.
9:59
SPEAKER_00: So this is God delighting in us, approval, God uh uh approving of us, um, pleasing, like being pleasing in God's sight, um, goodwill, that is God being for you, wanting good for you, a desire for good for you, right?
10:19
SPEAKER_00: I want you to think about when Jesus came on the scene and there was a loud voice that says, This is my son in whom I'm well pleased, hear ye him.
10:27
SPEAKER_00: And you need to understand like the crowds followed him.
10:31
SPEAKER_00: God can endorse you in your workplace, God can endorse you in your family, God can endorse you in your community, God can endorse you, like God, can you imagine God Almighty saying, I endorse this brand?
10:43
SPEAKER_00: What?
10:45
SPEAKER_00: Because think about it.
10:46
SPEAKER_00: If an influencer went and said, Oh, you know, I just got this phone, it's the most amazing phone.
10:52
SPEAKER_00: People go buy the phone.
10:54
SPEAKER_00: Well, what if God is like, Oh, look at this entrepreneur?
10:57
SPEAKER_00: I like this entrepreneur, work with her, work with him.
11:00
SPEAKER_00: Can you imagine?
11:01
SPEAKER_00: In your workplace, God's like, I like her, do something for her, do something for him.
11:07
SPEAKER_00: Okay, that's God endorsing, right?
11:10
SPEAKER_00: Okay, what does it also mean, or what does it create?
11:13
SPEAKER_00: Preferential treatment.
11:15
SPEAKER_00: Like, prep you like you get treatment, other people don't get.
11:19
SPEAKER_00: Okay, like, yeah.
11:22
SPEAKER_00: What does it mean?
11:23
SPEAKER_00: Advantage, which means you have access to things other people don't have access to.
11:28
SPEAKER_00: They say this takes 10 days, you can get it in two.
11:30
SPEAKER_00: They can say this costs a million dollars, you can get it for$200.
11:34
SPEAKER_00: They say only people with this kind of qualification can get this, but you don't have the qualification and you get it.
11:41
SPEAKER_00: Advantage, preferential treatment.
11:44
SPEAKER_00: This never used to be my expectation.
11:46
SPEAKER_00: I never just used to expect things will work out for me.
11:48
SPEAKER_00: Like, like there's God on my side making things work in my favor.
11:54
SPEAKER_00: Like, yes, I can work, but then I have all these results that I've been.
11:58
SPEAKER_00: I this wasn't something that I believed.
12:02
SPEAKER_00: It wasn't an expectation.
12:03
SPEAKER_00: Now I expect to have preferential treatment, I expect to have advantages, I expect that my life would be different.
12:11
SPEAKER_00: I expect that I get results that may people go, like, so how?
12:15
SPEAKER_00: How is this happening for you?
12:17
SPEAKER_00: Right?
12:17
SPEAKER_00: Okay.
12:19
SPEAKER_00: And again, God granting you goodwill.
12:22
SPEAKER_00: And good, this is one like I literally spent time just declaring this over and over again.
12:27
SPEAKER_00: God is for me, God wants good for me, and he's acting on it.
12:31
SPEAKER_00: God is for me and he wants good for me and he's acting on it.
12:34
SPEAKER_00: God is for me, God wants good for me, and he's acting on it.
12:37
SPEAKER_00: That's what goodwill is.
12:39
SPEAKER_00: God is for me, God wants good for me, and he's acting on it.
12:43
SPEAKER_00: God is for me, God wants good for me, and he's acting on it.
12:46
SPEAKER_00: Now, if you want to be completely cuckoo, right?
12:50
SPEAKER_00: Like you just want to go like, right?
12:52
SPEAKER_00: You know, we teach about the nine areas of life.
12:54
SPEAKER_00: So, team, if you can post that in the chat, the nine areas of life.
12:57
SPEAKER_00: So it is your spiritual life, so your walk with God, your family, your ministry.
13:03
SPEAKER_00: Everybody is a minister, every Christian is a minister.
13:05
SPEAKER_00: I don't mean pulpit, I mean they're discipling other believers, they're helping other people come to know Jesus.
13:10
SPEAKER_00: Every Christian is a minister.
13:12
SPEAKER_00: Okay, so so spiritual, family, ministry, health, finances, social capital, intellectual development, business or career or academics, and um fun, right?
13:25
SPEAKER_00: So those are the nine areas of life.
13:26
SPEAKER_00: Now, God is for me.
13:30
SPEAKER_00: God wants good for me in my walk with him and he's acting on it.
13:35
SPEAKER_00: God is for me, God wants good for me in my family life and he's acting on it.
13:41
SPEAKER_00: God is for me and he wants good for me in ministry and he's acting on it.
13:46
SPEAKER_00: God is for me and he wants good for me in my business and he's acting on it.
13:51
SPEAKER_00: I'm like, uh, oh my goodness okay.
13:54
SPEAKER_00: I'm like, well, wait a whole minute.
13:57
SPEAKER_00: Like, and so these things of, oh, you know, this area of my life, uh uh uh uh.
14:01
SPEAKER_00: God is with me, God is for me, and God wants good for me in my finances, he wants good for me in social capital, he wants good for me in my intellectual development, he wants good for me in my family, and he's acting on it, he's doing something about it.
14:23
SPEAKER_00: Okay, we haven't even read the scripture, we ain't even there.
14:29
SPEAKER_00: So when we say favor, it is ridiculous.
14:33
SPEAKER_00: It creates advantages, it creates preferential treatment, it makes you a sign and a wonder, it gives you access to things you do not deserve, right?
14:41
SPEAKER_00: Like, can you do me a favor?
14:43
SPEAKER_00: Things you don't deserve.
14:44
SPEAKER_00: Okay, maybe we get to the scripture.
14:46
SPEAKER_00: Let's go.
14:47
SPEAKER_00: Scripture number one.
14:51
SPEAKER_00: Oh, I love, love the word of God.
14:54
SPEAKER_00: I love God, I love being a Christian, I love it all.
14:58
SPEAKER_00: Okay, Psalm chapter five.
15:00
SPEAKER_00: Let's start from here, verse 12.
15:02
SPEAKER_00: And this is so fun.
15:03
SPEAKER_00: I'm gonna read all of these in New King James, the New King James translation.
15:06
SPEAKER_00: Okay, all right.
15:07
SPEAKER_00: This is what it says.
15:10
SPEAKER_00: For you, oh Lord, will bless the righteous.
15:16
SPEAKER_00: Okay, all right, now for you, oh Lord, will bless the righteous.
15:22
SPEAKER_00: Who is the righteous?
15:24
SPEAKER_00: Me, you.
15:25
SPEAKER_00: You've been washed by the blood of Jesus.
15:27
SPEAKER_00: That you okay.
15:28
SPEAKER_00: Now let me show you.
15:29
SPEAKER_00: Let me let me give this to you.
15:31
SPEAKER_00: This is a sidebar.
15:32
SPEAKER_00: This is why it's important to read your four chapters every day, because it gives you context, it makes your meditation so much richer.
15:38
SPEAKER_00: Okay, okay, it says 2 Corinthians chapter 5, verse 21.
15:44
SPEAKER_00: Says, for he, God the Father, made him Jesus, who knew no sin to be sin.
15:52
SPEAKER_00: So God the Father made Jesus who knew no sin to be sin.
15:56
SPEAKER_00: For what?
15:57
SPEAKER_00: For us, he was made sin for us, he was made sin for me.
16:02
SPEAKER_00: Jesus was made sin for me.
16:04
SPEAKER_00: This happened on the cross.
16:05
SPEAKER_00: He was made sin for me, that we might become the righteousness of God in him.
16:12
SPEAKER_00: So he was made sin, so I may be made the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus.
16:18
SPEAKER_00: Okay, now, and then say we'll say, Well, as all you do, yes to die.
16:24
SPEAKER_00: Okay, this is the deal.
16:27
SPEAKER_00: Jesus was made sin.
16:30
SPEAKER_00: I was made righteousness.
16:32
SPEAKER_00: Now that I've been made righteous, I can act righteously.
16:37
SPEAKER_00: Okay, so a fish cannot bark.
16:41
SPEAKER_00: So no matter how you coach the fish to bark, the fish cannot bark.
16:46
SPEAKER_00: So what God did, we were sinners, a sinner cannot live righteously.
16:51
SPEAKER_00: It's not possible.
16:52
SPEAKER_00: So what God did was He took our sin nature, put it on Jesus, took the righteousness nature, put it on us.
16:59
SPEAKER_00: So we were made righteous.
17:01
SPEAKER_00: Like the fish was now made a dog.
17:04
SPEAKER_00: Now that the fish is a dog, the fish can now bark.
17:10
SPEAKER_00: The fish can now bark because it has the dog nature.
17:14
SPEAKER_00: So when I was a sinner, I accepted the price Jesus paid.
17:20
SPEAKER_00: Now, because I accepted that price, I became righteous.
17:24
SPEAKER_00: And now that I've been made righteous, I can act righteously.
17:31
SPEAKER_00: Okay, now as somebody who's been made righteous, could I make mistakes?
17:36
SPEAKER_00: Like a baby who can walk, can the baby also fall?
17:40
SPEAKER_00: Yes.
17:40
SPEAKER_00: But when the baby is done falling, the baby gets up and walks.
17:45
SPEAKER_00: If I make a mistake, I go to God, I repent, I get up and continue walking in my righteousness.
17:53
SPEAKER_00: And so, because of that, I practice walking in my righteousness.
17:58
SPEAKER_00: I read the word.
17:59
SPEAKER_00: What does it mean?
18:00
SPEAKER_00: Now that I'm righteous, how do I act?
18:01
SPEAKER_00: Oh, that's how we act as righteous people.
18:03
SPEAKER_00: Okay, let me go do that.
18:06
SPEAKER_00: Okay, okay, so for you, oh Lord, will bless the righteous, which means I am blessed.
18:13
SPEAKER_00: Why?
18:13
SPEAKER_00: Because God blesses the righteous.
18:16
SPEAKER_00: What does the blessing mean?
18:17
SPEAKER_00: It means an empowerment to prosper, and it's not just financial prosperity, it includes financial prosperity, but it's all kinds of prosperity.
18:24
SPEAKER_00: Okay, so I am blessed.
18:27
SPEAKER_00: Why?
18:28
SPEAKER_00: Because I'm righteous.
18:29
SPEAKER_00: I am blessed.
18:30
SPEAKER_00: Why?
18:31
SPEAKER_00: Because I'm righteous.
18:32
SPEAKER_00: I am blessed.
18:33
SPEAKER_00: This is who you are.
18:34
SPEAKER_00: I am blessed, I'm empowered to prosper in my family, empower to prosper, in finances, empower to prosper, in ministry, empower to prosper, in my health, empower to prosper.
18:45
SPEAKER_00: Because God empowers the righteous to prosper.
18:50
SPEAKER_00: Okay, now let's go to the favor piece.
18:53
SPEAKER_00: It says, with favor, you being God, with favor, you will surround him as with a shield.
19:06
SPEAKER_00: Like not only do I find favor in God's side, and do I have favor, I'm surrounded by said favor.
19:14
SPEAKER_00: Now, the word here used for shield, you know, there are two kinds of shields that they would use back in the day.
19:21
SPEAKER_00: They have a little shield they'll hold in their hand like that, you know, that little circular shield.
19:27
SPEAKER_00: But they had a whole body shield that covers the entire head to toe, covers the entire person.
19:32
SPEAKER_00: They hide behind the shield, right?
19:35
SPEAKER_00: I'm surrounded with favor.
19:38
SPEAKER_00: I don't have me an itty bitty amount of favor.
19:41
SPEAKER_00: I'm surrounded.
19:42
SPEAKER_00: And like, of course, he used a picture, a word picture.
19:45
SPEAKER_00: He said, uh with favor, you will surround him as with a shield.
19:52
SPEAKER_00: But if you think about it, I don't need the favor like in front of my physical body.
19:56
SPEAKER_00: This surrounds my life.
19:58
SPEAKER_00: Again, if we if you want to allow, give your imagination room to work with, you're like, okay, so in my walk with God, favor.
20:07
SPEAKER_00: In my family, favor.
20:09
SPEAKER_00: In ministry, favor.
20:12
SPEAKER_00: At my job, favor.
20:14
SPEAKER_00: In the marketplace, favor with my kids, favor, with my spouse, favor.
20:21
SPEAKER_00: With in my finances, favor.
20:23
SPEAKER_00: Like, I have the favor of God working in every aspect of my life.
20:27
SPEAKER_00: I'm surrounded by favor.
20:30
SPEAKER_00: I'm surrounded by it on every side.
20:34
SPEAKER_00: Every side.
20:35
SPEAKER_00: Now, so I say, okay, all right.
20:37
SPEAKER_00: So let me show you something.
20:38
SPEAKER_00: This is so important.
20:40
SPEAKER_00: We're just gonna we're just gonna take a quick detour and we'll come back, okay?
20:43
SPEAKER_00: Okay, so Proverbs chapter 16.
20:48
SPEAKER_00: Proverbs chapter 16.
20:50
SPEAKER_00: I want to show you something so you understand what happens.
20:54
SPEAKER_00: Pay attention to this, okay.
20:56
SPEAKER_00: Proverbs chapter 16, verse 15, it says, In the light of the king's face is life.
21:04
SPEAKER_00: That is so good, but I'm not going there.
21:05
SPEAKER_00: I'm going to the next verse, next part of the verse.
21:08
SPEAKER_00: And his favor, the favor of a king is like a cloud of the latter rain.
21:16
SPEAKER_00: The favor is it of a king, and our God is the king.
21:20
SPEAKER_00: Okay.
21:20
SPEAKER_00: But the favor of a king, any king, the favor of a king is like a cloud of the latter rain.
21:27
SPEAKER_00: Now, the latter rain, because the the Bible uses a lot of word pictures.
21:32
SPEAKER_00: So when you see a word picture, you'll be like, what does that mean?
21:35
SPEAKER_00: They had two rains.
21:37
SPEAKER_00: They had the former rain and the latter rain.
21:39
SPEAKER_00: The former rain was October, November, that softens the soil for them to plant and all of those things.
21:45
SPEAKER_00: The latter rain happened in March April.
21:48
SPEAKER_00: And that was, you know, the final rain, the final rain or set of rain is the final rain that comes on the ground to kind of mature the crop to get it ready for harvest.
21:59
SPEAKER_00: So they would wait.
22:00
SPEAKER_00: For the latter rain before the harvest, right?
22:03
SPEAKER_00: Which means now, if you think about it, it means that the farmer would have planted, they would have fertilized, they would have done the weeding, they would have done everything, they would have done everything right, but they still need the latter rain to have a bumper harvest.
22:20
SPEAKER_00: Which means for us too, like I'm a student, I studied, I did this, I did everything right.
22:26
SPEAKER_00: And then here comes the latter rain.
22:29
SPEAKER_00: It is the latter rain that lets me have a bumper harvest.
22:32
SPEAKER_00: It is the latter rain that allows me to have results that are signs and wonders.
22:35
SPEAKER_00: It is the latter rain.
22:36
SPEAKER_00: So it's like I've done my part, I've done my effort, and then God then puts this laddering on it.
22:42
SPEAKER_00: That's what favor does.
22:44
SPEAKER_00: Favor makes it possible where you would have done everything you need to do.
22:48
SPEAKER_00: And by that, by what you did, you should have a result that's 100, but you get a result that's 200.
22:53
SPEAKER_00: You get a result that's 2,000, you get a result that's 100,000.
22:56
SPEAKER_00: How did that happen?
22:58
SPEAKER_00: Favor.
22:59
SPEAKER_00: Favor gives you things you don't deserve, favor gives you preferential treatment, favor gives you the advantage, and God surrounds you with his advantage, surrounds you with preferential treatment, surrounds you with this stuff like a shield.
23:12
SPEAKER_00: Can you see now that our expectation needs to shift?
23:16
SPEAKER_00: We cannot have expectation of same old, same old.
23:19
SPEAKER_00: We cannot have expectation of the status quo.
23:22
SPEAKER_00: We cannot have expectation that you know, some will work, some won't work.
23:25
SPEAKER_00: We have expectation.
23:27
SPEAKER_00: The favor of God is working for me.
23:29
SPEAKER_00: God is for me, God wants good for me, and God is acting on it.
23:34
SPEAKER_00: God is doing something about it, God is deploying things about guys.
23:42
SPEAKER_00: See, and especially if you're a hard worker, please hear me when I say this.
23:47
SPEAKER_00: There's faith without works, and there's work without works without faith, right?
23:51
SPEAKER_00: Where what I do, I'll reap the reward of what I did.
23:54
SPEAKER_00: Hello.
23:55
SPEAKER_00: We are called to have faith by works.
23:58
SPEAKER_00: Like you bring your works and you throw the faith in, and so you get results that just don't make sense.
24:02
SPEAKER_00: Because we are called to be signs of wonders.
24:04
SPEAKER_00: No favor, no signs of wonders.
24:07
SPEAKER_00: Right?
24:07
SPEAKER_00: Okay, so I am surrounded by favor and by so I have preferential treatment in every aspect of my life.
24:16
SPEAKER_00: I have an unusual advantage, an unfair advantage.
24:18
SPEAKER_00: Somebody asked me in the comments the other day, like, what do you mean unfair advantage?
24:22
SPEAKER_00: Because it just ain't fair.
24:23
SPEAKER_00: Favor is not fair.
24:24
SPEAKER_00: Because you're like, I did what they did.
24:26
SPEAKER_00: What's going on?
24:28
SPEAKER_00: It's just not fair, right?
24:30
SPEAKER_00: Okay, but it but it's good, it's good, and it's legal, and it's biblical, and you can have it too.
24:35
SPEAKER_00: Okay, all right.
24:37
SPEAKER_00: So I am surrounded by favor on every side, every aspect of my life, full of favor.
24:44
SPEAKER_00: Now, I want to read let so that's the first verse.
24:46
SPEAKER_00: We're gonna you're gonna do a deep dive of this for the next seven days.
24:50
SPEAKER_00: Your expectation will shift, the kind of actions you take will shift, the way you show up will shift, the fear of oh, what happened, and then this will happen, and that shoe will drop, and this thing that was going well won't go well.
25:02
SPEAKER_00: No, no, no, no, no.
25:03
SPEAKER_00: All of that disappeared.
25:04
SPEAKER_00: Seven days because we're gonna meditate and I'm gonna show you exactly what to do.
25:07
SPEAKER_00: Okay, next verse.
25:09
SPEAKER_00: This one I'm about to read is so important because after this, when you face obstacles, challenges, delays, disappointments, the way you will approach it will blow your own mind.
25:22
SPEAKER_00: Okay, okay, Genesis chapter 39.
25:27
SPEAKER_00: Love now.
25:28
SPEAKER_00: For context, this is about Joseph.
25:30
SPEAKER_00: Okay, and Joseph was a slave in a foreign country that had been put in prison.
25:38
SPEAKER_00: Nothing was working.
25:39
SPEAKER_00: Number one, he was a slave, number two, he was a slave in a different country, far away from his family, never to return.
25:45
SPEAKER_00: And then he was a slave in a different country who was in prison.
25:50
SPEAKER_00: Nothing was working.
25:52
SPEAKER_00: Ear quotes.
25:53
SPEAKER_00: Nothing was working.
25:54
SPEAKER_00: Okay.
25:55
SPEAKER_00: Now, in the midst of this, I mean you might say, What does it have to do with favor?
25:59
SPEAKER_00: Just roll with me.
26:01
SPEAKER_00: Genesis 39, verse 21.
26:05
SPEAKER_00: It says, But, like in spite of all these things, quote unquote not working, but but but the Lord was with Joseph and showed him mercy, and he gave him favor.
26:22
SPEAKER_00: Wait a minute, can this favor work in a situation where it looks like nothing's working?
26:27
SPEAKER_00: Yes, okay.
26:29
SPEAKER_00: It gave him and he gave him favor in the sight of the keeper of the prison.
26:36
SPEAKER_00: So the boss of the prison, God gave him favor in his sight.
26:42
SPEAKER_00: Now, we're gonna meditate on this verse, but I want you to see what that favor did.
26:48
SPEAKER_00: Because when you when you hear favor, it's no longer gonna be an abstract word to you.
26:52
SPEAKER_00: You're gonna know exactly what it means, you're gonna know exactly what it can do for you.
26:57
SPEAKER_00: Now, so he had favor and he had favor with the keeper of the prison.
27:02
SPEAKER_00: Now, you guys know we talk about kings, we have favor before kings.
27:06
SPEAKER_00: King doesn't just mean like the king of Abu Dhabi.
27:09
SPEAKER_00: No, it means people who are decision makers, who are influential, who are gatekeepers, people who are in a position that with one word, one connection, one phone call, they can change your entire life.
27:24
SPEAKER_00: These are kings.
27:25
SPEAKER_00: So the keeper of this prison was a king.
27:28
SPEAKER_00: God gave him favor, not just like before the prisoners, but before the kings.
27:33
SPEAKER_00: And so when you meditate on this, when it's time to meditate, you are meditating.
27:37
SPEAKER_00: Oh, what would it look like if God gave me favor before my boss?
27:41
SPEAKER_00: God gave me favor before this person who has information, information I need.
27:46
SPEAKER_00: God gave me favor before the president of this association.
27:49
SPEAKER_00: God gives me favor.
27:50
SPEAKER_00: Do you guys see that?
27:51
SPEAKER_00: Okay.
27:52
SPEAKER_00: All right.
27:53
SPEAKER_00: Now let me show you the result so that the favor is not abstract to you.
27:57
SPEAKER_00: Verse 22 says, so verse 21 says, God gave him favor before the keeper of the prison.
28:02
SPEAKER_00: Verse 22 says, and the keeper of the prison committed to Joseph's hand all the prisoners who were in the prison.
28:11
SPEAKER_00: So now that favor made Joseph, who was a foreigner, who was a slave, who was in prison, the boss over the prisoners.
28:20
SPEAKER_00: He became a lord in the prison.
28:24
SPEAKER_00: Preferential treatment, advantage, God being for him and wanting his good and doing something about it.
28:30
SPEAKER_00: Do you guys see it?
28:31
SPEAKER_00: Okay.
28:32
SPEAKER_00: And the keeper of the prison committed to Joseph's hands all the prisoners who were in the prison, whatever they did there, it was his doing.
28:38
SPEAKER_00: Who was running the prison?
28:40
SPEAKER_00: Joseph.
28:41
SPEAKER_00: Can this favor make your give you preferential advantage when quote unquote nothing is working?
28:47
SPEAKER_00: Yes.
28:48
SPEAKER_00: Yes, yes, yes, yes.
28:51
SPEAKER_00: Which means in challenging times, do we need to be bent out of shape?
28:54
SPEAKER_00: No, because the favor of God will work for us there and pull us out of it.
29:01
SPEAKER_00: Okay, so he made him in charge of the prison.
29:05
SPEAKER_00: And then verse 23, it says, the keeper of the prison did not look into anything that was under Joseph's authority, which was what the whole prison.
29:14
SPEAKER_00: The guy was like in retirement, just like J Boy, do what you want to do.
29:20
SPEAKER_00: Do what you want to do, bruv.
29:22
SPEAKER_00: Okay, okay.
29:23
SPEAKER_00: So the keeper of the prison did not look into anything that was under Joseph's author authority because the Lord was with him, and whatever he did, the Lord made it to prosper.
29:32
SPEAKER_00: Okay.
29:34
SPEAKER_00: It is easy to believe that foreigners will not prosper.
29:37
SPEAKER_00: It will be easily easy to believe that slaves will not prosper.
29:40
SPEAKER_00: It is easy to believe that a say a slave cannot prosper in prison.
29:47
SPEAKER_00: But guess what?
29:49
SPEAKER_00: Joseph prospered in the midst of extreme adversity.
29:55
SPEAKER_00: Why?
29:56
SPEAKER_00: Because of the favor of God.
29:59
SPEAKER_00: And what favor is this?
30:00
SPEAKER_00: The favor that surrounds you, my friend, as a shield.
30:04
SPEAKER_00: Wait, what?
30:08
SPEAKER_00: Shamim says, not Dr.
30:09
SPEAKER_00: Una same bruv.
30:10
SPEAKER_00: I have teenage kids.
30:11
SPEAKER_00: Okay.
30:12
SPEAKER_00: So what can I say, right?
30:15
SPEAKER_00: So that means when I'm going through, remember, one of the verses we meditated on last week was when I'm going through the valley of the shadow of death, I will not fear.
30:25
SPEAKER_00: Why?
30:25
SPEAKER_00: Because even there, the favor surrounding me like a shield is causing me to prosper, it's causing, it's putting me in charge, it's giving preferential treatment in the midst of it.
30:36
SPEAKER_00: Guys, this is nuts.
30:40
SPEAKER_00: So we become these people who we're just obnoxious to the enemy because no matter what he tries, we just keep winning.
30:48
SPEAKER_00: And let me show you something, okay?
30:50
SPEAKER_00: Because I want us to what when we're meditating and we say, Oh, he found favor in the side of the keeper of the prison, we need to understand what this means.
30:58
SPEAKER_00: So, first of all, he had favor in the side of the the king, the keeper of the prison.
31:03
SPEAKER_00: So he put him in charge, okay?
31:05
SPEAKER_00: So that's advantage number one.
31:06
SPEAKER_00: Now, because he put him in charge, when they sent the king's, the the Pharaoh's prisoners, his baker and his butler, guess who was in charge of them?
31:15
SPEAKER_00: Joseph.
31:15
SPEAKER_00: Guess who they had access to?
31:17
SPEAKER_00: Another king.
31:19
SPEAKER_00: So he shows up, he serves them, they had a dream, he interprets it, one gets killed, one goes back to Pharaoh.
31:24
SPEAKER_00: So when Pharaoh has a problem, this favor in a moment caused the baker to the butler to remember Joseph.
31:36
SPEAKER_00: And they go, and Joseph goes from prison to second in command of the world's superpower in one day.
31:45
SPEAKER_00: Why?
31:46
SPEAKER_00: Because the favor was there, and the favor was always working for him.
31:51
SPEAKER_00: For us, there is nothing like nothing is working because it is always working.
31:55
SPEAKER_00: Why?
31:56
SPEAKER_00: Because God is for us, God wants good for us, and God is acting on it.
32:01
SPEAKER_00: So that favor took fair took Joseph from prisoner to in charge of the prison to in charge of the world's superpower at the time.
32:13
SPEAKER_00: So if that same favor is working for you, and remember, Joseph is the old testament, old covenant.
32:19
SPEAKER_00: We have a better covenant based on better promises, which means we have a higher level of favor.
32:24
SPEAKER_00: If that could do that for him, what will it do for me?
32:28
SPEAKER_00: What so that means at every point in time, even when things look like they're not working, I can say, Whoo, I'm living like that going through the valley of the shadow of death.
32:36
SPEAKER_00: I will fear no evil.
32:37
SPEAKER_00: And oh my goodness, I am so even here, I am God surrounds me in favor like a shield.
32:43
SPEAKER_00: And this favor is creating advantages and creating preferential treatment.
32:47
SPEAKER_00: And this favor means that God is for me, even in the midst of this, and He's He He He He wants good for me, and He's acting on it, and He's doing something about it.
32:56
SPEAKER_00: And angels are at work and doors are being opened and things are being set up, and pharaohs are having dreams, so I can go from here to there, but nothing is gonna get in my way because the favor of God is at work in my life.
33:10
SPEAKER_00: This means I can go through the valley of the shadow of death with joy, with expectation, with hope, knowing that all things, including this prison, work together for my good.
33:24
SPEAKER_00: Okay, I told you this is gonna be good.
33:27
SPEAKER_00: I told you seven days.
33:28
SPEAKER_00: Our expectation will shift completely.
33:31
SPEAKER_00: Seven days.
33:31
SPEAKER_00: The way we actually different.
33:33
SPEAKER_00: Now we're gonna be like like Caleb.
33:35
SPEAKER_00: Like now, like let's go take this promised land.
33:37
SPEAKER_00: And other people are like, Oh, we can't take the promised land.
33:40
SPEAKER_00: Caleb is like, are you kidding?
33:41
SPEAKER_00: Let us go up at once.
33:44
SPEAKER_00: Let's go up at once, guys.
33:47
SPEAKER_00: We have an unfair advantage, it makes no sense, no sense whatsoever.
33:54
SPEAKER_00: Everything is working for us, all things are working for us because God is for us and God wants good for us, and He's acting on it.
34:01
SPEAKER_00: Thank you very much.
34:02
SPEAKER_00: Okay, let's go to scripture number three.
34:05
SPEAKER_00: How many of you can see that your life, like when I said 24 hours, I wasn't kidding.
34:09
SPEAKER_00: But by the end of seven days, whoo wee.
34:13
SPEAKER_00: Okay, Psalm 44, verse 3.
34:16
SPEAKER_00: Psalm 44, verse 3.
34:18
SPEAKER_00: So, Lord, we thank you for your word.
34:21
SPEAKER_00: We thank you for teaching us to meditate.
34:22
SPEAKER_00: We thank you for the success by the book app.
34:25
SPEAKER_00: We thank you for what you're doing.
34:26
SPEAKER_00: We have we have no idea where we're gonna be the end of this year.
34:29
SPEAKER_00: Talk less of when we do this for a year.
34:31
SPEAKER_00: What in the world?
34:33
SPEAKER_00: Okay, please.
34:36
SPEAKER_00: Okay, this is going to this is gonna blow your whole mind.
34:40
SPEAKER_00: Like your mind will never recover from the scripture we're about to read.
34:43
SPEAKER_00: Okay, okay, Psalm chapter 43, verse 3.
34:49
SPEAKER_00: Okay, for they did not gain the possession of the land.
34:55
SPEAKER_00: What land?
34:55
SPEAKER_00: The land of Canaan, the land God promised them.
34:58
SPEAKER_00: They did not gain this land by their own sword.
35:03
SPEAKER_00: Oh, okay.
35:04
SPEAKER_00: Now remember they used their sword, but they didn't gain it by the sword.
35:09
SPEAKER_00: Okay, nor did their own arm save them.
35:13
SPEAKER_00: Okay, it wasn't the sword, it wasn't the arm, but it was your right hand, referring to God.
35:19
SPEAKER_00: It was your right hand, your arm, and the light of your countenance.
35:24
SPEAKER_00: So they gained the land by God's right hand, by his arm, and by the light of his countenance, countenance.
35:33
SPEAKER_00: It says, Because you favored them, because you favored them, you gave them the land.
35:40
SPEAKER_00: Because you favored them, you deployed your right hand, you deployed your arm.
35:44
SPEAKER_00: This is referring to the strength of God.
35:47
SPEAKER_00: Strength of God.
35:49
SPEAKER_00: It was your right hand, your arm, the light of your countenance.
35:53
SPEAKER_00: That is what delivered the land to them.
35:55
SPEAKER_00: This is important because it gives you context.
35:57
SPEAKER_00: So when you sit in a verse, your mind can be appropriately blown.
36:02
SPEAKER_00: Okay, now I'm gonna take you somewhere else to put this in context.
36:06
SPEAKER_00: Okay, so Deuteronomy, Deuteronomy chapter 7.
36:11
SPEAKER_00: This will help you.
36:12
SPEAKER_00: This will help you.
36:16
SPEAKER_00: Oh my goodness.
36:18
SPEAKER_00: Oh my goodness.
36:19
SPEAKER_00: Uh, team, if you can post the link to the app again, some people are asking.
36:23
SPEAKER_00: Thou must use the app.
36:25
SPEAKER_00: This was given to God for us.
36:27
SPEAKER_00: Okay, okay.
36:29
SPEAKER_00: Deuteronomy chapter seven, verse one.
36:31
SPEAKER_00: Pay attention to this, don't forget it.
36:34
SPEAKER_00: It says, When the Lord your God brings you into the land which you go to possess and has cast out many nations before you the Hittites and the Gigashites and the Amorites and the Canaanites and the Perizzites and the Hivites and the Jebusites.
36:54
SPEAKER_00: Now, listen to where I was going, seven nations greater and mightier than you.
37:03
SPEAKER_00: Hold on.
37:05
SPEAKER_00: God says, You are going to possess these nations, you are going to possess these seven nations, and these seven nations, I God, I'm telling you that they are greater than you, and they are mightier than you, but you will possess them.
37:23
SPEAKER_00: So the land they possessed, the land was filled with seven nations, greater than them and mightier than them.
37:32
SPEAKER_00: Now, with this understanding, let's go back to Psalm chapter 44, verse 3.
37:37
SPEAKER_00: They did not gain possession of the land.
37:42
SPEAKER_00: Which land?
37:43
SPEAKER_00: A land filled with people, nations greater and mightier.
37:48
SPEAKER_00: Remember, these guys were slaves.
37:49
SPEAKER_00: They had been slaves for 430 years.
37:53
SPEAKER_00: Meaning nobody knew anybody who wasn't a slave.
37:55
SPEAKER_00: They had been in slavery for 430 years and they dispossessed, they conquered seven nations greater and mightier than them.
38:05
SPEAKER_00: So God says they did not gain it by their own sword.
38:10
SPEAKER_00: Did they use their sword?
38:11
SPEAKER_00: Yes.
38:12
SPEAKER_00: But is that how they won?
38:13
SPEAKER_00: No.
38:14
SPEAKER_00: They did not obtain it by their own arm.
38:18
SPEAKER_00: They did not.
38:19
SPEAKER_00: Did they use their own strength?
38:21
SPEAKER_00: They did.
38:22
SPEAKER_00: But is that how they got the victory?
38:24
SPEAKER_00: No.
38:24
SPEAKER_00: How did they get the victory?
38:26
SPEAKER_00: But it was your right hand, referring to God.
38:28
SPEAKER_00: Your arm, the light of your countenance, because you favor them.
38:32
SPEAKER_00: Favor will cost you to obtain things that are too great and too mighty for you to obtain.
38:39
SPEAKER_00: By right, they were not supposed to have victory over nations greater than them and mightier than them.
38:48
SPEAKER_00: When the favor of God is at work in your life, you will accomplish things you should not accomplish.
38:54
SPEAKER_00: You should accomplish things you're not strong enough to accomplish.
38:57
SPEAKER_00: You should accomplish things you're not qualified enough to accomplish.
39:00
SPEAKER_00: You should have things you have no business having.
39:02
SPEAKER_00: You should have access to rooms by rights you shouldn't be in.
39:05
SPEAKER_00: Why?
39:06
SPEAKER_00: Because God favored you.
39:08
SPEAKER_00: Because God favored you.
39:09
SPEAKER_00: So God will deploy his strength, deploy his arm, deploy his connections.
39:16
SPEAKER_00: You deploy all of that to make you accomplish things you have no business accomplishing.
39:23
SPEAKER_00: None.
39:40
SPEAKER_00: Why?
39:40
SPEAKER_00: Because God favored them.
39:44
SPEAKER_00: Which means, okay, I'll give you an example.
39:46
SPEAKER_00: I'll give you an example.
39:48
SPEAKER_00: Once upon a time in 2020, God said to me, He said, I want you to help my physicians.
39:56
SPEAKER_00: Okay.
39:58
SPEAKER_00: So I Googled and I looked at it.
40:02
SPEAKER_00: It was a million licensed physicians.
40:06
SPEAKER_00: I was like, Lord, I don't want to help your physicians.
40:07
SPEAKER_00: It's a lot of people.
40:11
SPEAKER_00: It's a lot of people.
40:12
SPEAKER_00: I don't want to do that.
40:13
SPEAKER_00: I don't know how to do that.
40:14
SPEAKER_00: I can't do that.
40:15
SPEAKER_00: I don't know if you haven't noticed.
40:16
SPEAKER_00: I'm an introvert.
40:17
SPEAKER_00: I'm shy.
40:18
SPEAKER_00: I don't like talking.
40:19
SPEAKER_00: I don't like, I don't even do people.
40:20
SPEAKER_00: I don't, you know, like I'm not going to help your people.
40:24
SPEAKER_00: And God ignored me for a few.
40:27
SPEAKER_00: I think it took me a month or two.
40:29
SPEAKER_00: And I was like, okay, Lord, I will help your people.
40:31
SPEAKER_00: He said, great.
40:32
SPEAKER_00: So now you do some things here and there.
40:34
SPEAKER_00: Like you, you know, you have a podcast, you're doing things here and there, but I need you to, like, you mean it.
40:39
SPEAKER_00: So I need you to start a business school.

40:46
SPEAKER_00: Okay.

SPEAKER_00: You're like, yeah, let's do that.
40:52
SPEAKER_00: I was like, Lord, like business school.

SPEAKER_00: Like, I like who do individuals start business?
41:16
SPEAKER_00: Like, what is this?
41:16
SPEAKER_00: I don't know what you mean.
41:20

43:33
SPEAKER_00: He is for me.
43:34
SPEAKER_00: He wants good for me and he's doing something about it.
43:38
SPEAKER_00: He's acting on it.
43:40
SPEAKER_00: So I'm not telling you about some weird philosophical thing that has nothing to do with your real life.
43:46
SPEAKER_00: No, this is your life.
43:49
SPEAKER_00: They did not get the land by their power.
43:52
SPEAKER_00: They did not get the land by their own sword, by their arm, but it is my arm.
43:57
SPEAKER_00: It is with that arm he got me.
44:00
SPEAKER_00: A great team.
44:01
SPEAKER_00: Without arm, he gives me ideas because part of the favor is he gives you ideas.
44:06
SPEAKER_00: The ideas he gives me, I'm like, what in the world?
44:11
SPEAKER_00: There's no way I could have figured this out on my own.
44:13
SPEAKER_00: There's no way I could even think this.
44:16
SPEAKER_00: All right, we're getting this.
44:17
SPEAKER_00: Three scriptures.
44:18
SPEAKER_00: Three scriptures.
44:19
SPEAKER_00: Three scriptures.
44:20
SPEAKER_00: And this is if I can trace this everywhere.
44:24
SPEAKER_00: Like you're trusting God for a spouse, and you're they're like, they're no good man.
44:29
SPEAKER_00: Why would you ever say that with your mouth that is anointed?
44:33
SPEAKER_00: When with the same mouth you can say, when it comes to my marriage, God is for me, and God wants good for me.
44:40
SPEAKER_00: And God is acting at it, acting on it.
44:42
SPEAKER_00: God is moving people, God is relocating people, God is making connections, God is making my name get mentioned in the right room.
44:48
SPEAKER_00: God, like, why?
44:50
SPEAKER_00: Why can we not do that with the same mouth we've been given?
44:53
SPEAKER_00: Like, why?
44:55
SPEAKER_00: Right?
44:56
SPEAKER_00: Favor.
44:58
SPEAKER_00: Like my boss doesn't like me.
45:00
SPEAKER_00: Hello.
45:02
SPEAKER_00: Hello.
45:03
SPEAKER_00: In the midst of that, God's favor will still work if you'll expect it, if you act on it.
45:08
SPEAKER_00: Okay, I have things to show you.
45:09
SPEAKER_00: So let's go to the let's go to the last scripture.
45:11
SPEAKER_00: I mean, and I think we're gonna do part two after we've done a series of other seven things.
45:16
SPEAKER_00: We're gonna come back to favor because oh my goodness.
45:19
SPEAKER_00: Oh my goodness.
45:20
SPEAKER_00: Okay, Proverbs chapter eight.
45:23
SPEAKER_00: Proverbs chapter eight, verse 35.
45:27
SPEAKER_00: Oh my goodness, Dr.
45:29
SPEAKER_00: Una is so excited.
45:30
SPEAKER_00: You can't blame me though.
45:31
SPEAKER_00: Okay, now Proverbs chapter 8, verse 35, New King James Version.
45:36
SPEAKER_00: It says, For whoever finds me.
45:38
SPEAKER_00: Now, the me here is wisdom.
45:40
SPEAKER_00: This whole chapter, Proverbs chapter 8, wonderful chapter.
45:44
SPEAKER_00: It starts by saying, Does not wisdom cry out.
45:46
SPEAKER_00: This is talking about wisdom.
45:48
SPEAKER_00: Okay, so for whoever finds wisdom, finds life.
45:54
SPEAKER_00: Now, what is wisdom?
45:56
SPEAKER_00: Wisdom is God's way of doing things, right?
46:00
SPEAKER_00: Like when you read the word of God and God is giving you instruction, that is his wisdom.
46:07
SPEAKER_00: Right?
46:08
SPEAKER_00: When God tells you how to act, that is his wisdom.
46:11
SPEAKER_00: Okay.
46:12
SPEAKER_00: When he tells you what to believe, that is his wisdom.
46:15
SPEAKER_00: For instance, expecting things to work for you and the favor of God to work for you is wisdom.
46:21
SPEAKER_00: Expecting things to not work out is foolishness because it's the opposite of what God recommends for you.
46:27
SPEAKER_00: Right?
46:28
SPEAKER_00: Jesus in his wisdom, he got up a great while before dawn to go pray.
46:32
SPEAKER_00: So Jesus had a prayer life.
46:34
SPEAKER_00: That is the wisdom of God.
46:36
SPEAKER_00: When we decide, oh, I ain't gonna pray and God understands, you know how you know how it be.
46:41
SPEAKER_00: That is foolishness.
46:42
SPEAKER_00: It is the opposite of what God says, his wisdom, right?
46:47
SPEAKER_00: God says the fear of God is the beginning of wisdom, like it's not like scare, like of a snake, but like reverence, choosing to do things his way, choosing to prioritize his way of doing things.
46:58
SPEAKER_00: That is wisdom, deciding, shoo, like you know, God is old school, that is foolishness.
47:04
SPEAKER_00: You guys see that?
47:05
SPEAKER_00: Okay, so for whoever finds wisdom finds life, and obtains favor from the Lord.
47:16
SPEAKER_00: So, this particular one, the reason why we're going to we're gonna meditate on it is because we want to understand how to obtain favor.
47:23
SPEAKER_00: Why is this important?
47:24
SPEAKER_00: Because in Luke chapter 2, verse 52 it says, and Jesus grew, increased in wisdom, in stature, in favor and God, in favor of God and favor with men, which means I can increase in favor, I can increase in favor, I can increase in favor.
47:40
SPEAKER_00: I'm not gonna stay at the same level of favor.
47:42
SPEAKER_00: Okay, okay.
47:44
SPEAKER_00: So whoever finds me, whoever finds me finds life and obtains favor from the Lord.
47:56
SPEAKER_00: So, what is my way of growing in favor?
48:00
SPEAKER_00: I grow in wisdom, I grow in doing things God's way, I go in figuring out how God recommends I do things and I do them.
48:09
SPEAKER_00: I grow in obedience, I grow, I grow, I grow.
48:15
SPEAKER_00: Do you guys see that?
48:16
SPEAKER_00: So when we meditate, whoever finds wisdom finds life and obtains favor, which means, because this is such a hack, which means I can grow in wisdom every day, and if I grow in wisdom every day, I grow in favor every day.
48:30
SPEAKER_00: And if I grow in favor every day, I grew up 365 times every year.
48:36
SPEAKER_00: Like who's ready for this?
48:38
SPEAKER_00: That's how you become a sign and a wonder, which means, which means the lifestyle of choosing God's way, the lifestyle of putting God as number one, the lifestyle of searching out the scriptures to see who God is, who I am in God, God's way of doing things is the lifestyle of ever-increasing favor.
49:02
SPEAKER_00: So, four scriptures we're gonna meditate on.
49:04
SPEAKER_00: And and guys, it's in the app, so you don't have to memorize it because it'll be right there for you in the app, these four scriptures.
49:10
SPEAKER_00: Okay.
49:11
SPEAKER_00: So Psalm 5, verse 12, Genesis 39, verse 21, Psalm 44, verse 3, and Proverbs 8, 35.
49:20
SPEAKER_00: So your expectation and what and now it's in your hands, like because you can grow in favor every day.
49:26
SPEAKER_00: How do one of the ways you do that?
49:27
SPEAKER_00: You grow in wisdom every day, every single day.
49:29
SPEAKER_00: How does God want, like, for instance, how do I relate with people?
49:33
SPEAKER_00: Because you find favor with people, right?
49:34
SPEAKER_00: Not inanimate things.
49:36
SPEAKER_00: You find favor with people.
49:37
SPEAKER_00: What one of the ways is God told you your character.
49:40
SPEAKER_00: What is your character?
49:41
SPEAKER_00: Galatians chapter 5, verse 22.
49:44
SPEAKER_00: Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, gentleness, faithfulness, self-control.
49:52
SPEAKER_00: We call it the ninth fruit of the spirit.
49:54
SPEAKER_00: That's your character.
49:56
SPEAKER_00: I don't do people.
49:57
SPEAKER_00: That is foolishness, it's not wisdom.
49:59
SPEAKER_00: Wisdom is I do people.
50:01
SPEAKER_00: Wisdom is I love people.
50:02
SPEAKER_00: Wisdom is I practice walking in joy.
50:04
SPEAKER_00: Wisdom is I practice walking in peace.
50:06
SPEAKER_00: Wisdom is I am kind.
50:07
SPEAKER_00: Wisdom is I am good.
50:09
SPEAKER_00: Because that's your character based on the word of God.
50:12
SPEAKER_00: So if I can grow in my capacity to walk in that, I can grow in favor.
50:16
SPEAKER_00: Because tell me in the chat, if you see somebody who loves people, who is always at peace, who has joy, who is kind to people, who is good, who is gentle, who is faithful, has integrity, and has self-control, will you choose to favor them?
50:29
SPEAKER_00: Yes or no?
50:30
SPEAKER_00: Now, now, guys, you have to focus on this part.
50:33
SPEAKER_00: This part is the this is where we convert all of this into tangible changes over the next seven days.
50:40
SPEAKER_00: Okay?
50:41
SPEAKER_00: Okay, now.
50:42
SPEAKER_00: So, what is my job?
50:43
SPEAKER_00: Now that I have these four scriptures, all of these things, I'm going to expect favor and I'm going to trigger favor, and I'm going to grow in favor.
50:53
SPEAKER_00: I'm going to expect favor, I'm going to trigger in favor, trigger favor by taking action, right?
50:58
SPEAKER_00: I'm not going to hide away.
50:59
SPEAKER_00: Oh, I'm afraid this won't work.
51:01
SPEAKER_00: And so I no, no, no.
51:02
SPEAKER_00: I show up because I know the favor of God is at work in my life.
51:04
SPEAKER_00: So I expect favor, I trigger it by my actions, and then I grow in favor by growing in wisdom, right?
51:12
SPEAKER_00: I expect it, I trigger it, I grow in it.
51:14
SPEAKER_00: I expect it, I trigger it, I grow in it.
51:17
SPEAKER_00: And we create this cycle where it become more and more of a sign and a wonder.
51:22
SPEAKER_00: Type in the chat, I'm a sign and a wonder.
51:23
SPEAKER_00: I'm a sign and a wonder.
51:24
SPEAKER_00: I'm a sign and a wonder.
51:25
SPEAKER_00: I'm a sign and a wonder.
51:27
SPEAKER_00: I'm a sign and a wonder.
51:28
SPEAKER_00: I expect it.
51:29
SPEAKER_00: I trigger it by action.
51:31
SPEAKER_00: Now remember, we've read this verse many times, 1 Corinthians chapter 15, verse 10, where Paul says, I am who I am by the grace of God.
51:38
SPEAKER_00: Grace and favor, they're words that are interchangeable.
51:42
SPEAKER_00: So let's use favor to look at it this way.
51:45
SPEAKER_00: I am who I am by the favor of God.
51:48
SPEAKER_00: And the favor of God on my life is not in vain, for I labor more abundantly than they all.
51:54
SPEAKER_00: So we now take the favor, knowing that we have favor, now we go work with it.
51:58
SPEAKER_00: Now we go when we show up at work, we take that favor, then we work, we solve problems, we show up at a higher capacity and all that, and the favor starts manifesting.
52:06
SPEAKER_00: Joseph did things that made people say, Oh, we should put this guy in charge.
52:10
SPEAKER_00: So I'm gonna show up in a way that you're we need to put her in charge.
52:13
SPEAKER_00: But it's not me showing up that way that put me in charge, it's the favor of God.
52:16
SPEAKER_00: But I took that favor and I worked hard with it.
52:19
SPEAKER_00: So I expect it, I trigger it with my actions, I grow in it.
52:22
SPEAKER_00: I expect a higher level, I trigger reactions, I grow in it, expect another higher level, I trigger reaction and grow in it.
52:28
SPEAKER_00: We create this ever increasing cycle.
52:31
SPEAKER_00: Ever increasing cycle.
