THE WINDS ARE ABOUT TO CHANGE | Pastor Paul Daugherty | Saint Paul Series pt. 11

hey online church so glad you're watching today I've got a message just for you I believe it's going to encourage you inspire you and challenge you the winds are about to change in your favor today we're gonna look at a moment in the Apostle Paul's life when he had been through so many setbacks adversity toil struggle and yet God caused the winds to change in his favor God took him into a season of grace a favor I believe God's about to change the winds in your life you're about to step into greater favour greater grace a greater harvest the question is do you believe it and are you ready to receive it let's get right into the word today the winds are about to change if you have a Bible go to acts 28 verse 13 acts 28 verse 13 the winds are about to change in your favorite church the winds are about to change in your favor Paul wrote or Luke wrote this concerning Paul's life in verse 13 of Acts 28 whence going in a circuitous course in other words we were going in circles we arrived at rhenium we were going in circles and we ended up at a place that was part of the circuit as part of the circle and after one day the wind having changed to the south on the second day we came to putti Oly now what we see in this verse right here I began to read and study this this week all the translations what was supposed to take a long voyage to get to Rome by the way in verse 14 it says then we reached Rome buteo Lea was part of Italy it was part of the port there where basically Venice is today and they they got to Rome so much faster than it should have happened because the winds changed for their favor and what God spoke to me this week is to declare over this house the winds are about to change for your favor the winds are about to change for your favor Paul had been through storms he had been through snake bites he had been attacked liftand right he had been struggling and striving and toiling but the days of toil are coming to an end the winds are about to change in your favor if you look at the end of acts 28 it says after Paul reached Rome in other words when the south wind blew him to his destination from that point on in his ministry the next two years he ministered without any hindrances without any problems there were no storms no snake bites no attacks and what God began to speak to me is that some of you who have been struggling who have been toiling who have been persevering through all the storms God has a do harvest that's coming your way the winds have been coming against you but I'm saying get ready this morning the winds are about to push you into your destiny if you believe it shout Amen come on church now here's the problem ten of us believe it tenements are like right ten of us are excited but the rest are kind of like yeah yeah I don't really buy that favor coming my way the winds are gonna blow in my direction I just don't know about that the problem is is we'll watch channel 6 news tonight and we will believe the weatherman who gets on there and says here's what's gonna happen the next six days of your life we go oh he's right he's right about that and then when a preacher gets up on stage and says the winds are about to blow in your favorite I just don't know about that I mean he just doesn't know what he's talking about the weather man on TV knows what he can we not believe God the same way we believe the weatherman on two six eight and 23 I mean is not God more sustainable more powerful has a greater promise of sustainability than the weather guys on TV will sit and watch TV and say yeah it's gonna rain this weekend but when God speaks through a prophet through a pastor through a preacher that rain is coming your way we kind of go on I just don't know about that but I'm here to tell you this morning get your hopes up because the winds are about to change in your favor June 30th is the end of a fiscal year for many organizations and what God spoke to me is there's a second wind coming in July the winds are about to change however the the beginning of this year started however it's been the winds are about to change see Paul's ministry began to really take off as the south wind began to blow but you need to know what Paul did before the south wind blew you need to know how Paul prepared for the winds of change I wonder what you're doing today to affect what God wants to do tomorrow in your life Paul was making the most before the wind started to blow in his life Paul was preparing for the favour that God was about to pour on him ever say prepare for the favor how many believe God has favored lined up for you and your future he does he does he does his God loves you God loves Tulsa Oklahoma God loves victory Church God loves the 9:00 a.m. service God loves you and he has favored for your life I remember after my father passed I was invited to go preach in Australia and I thought who would want to hear me preach I wasn't the pastor here yet I was serving in college ministry I was just making the most of the place that God had me and someone saw me and said I want you to come preach for me I'm gonna pay for you to come and so I remember going there and I'm standing in the back of a line that's a two-hour wait in Australia and God had used me to minister there now remember I felt unworthy I felt unqualified I was still a little fuzzy because it was just 12 to 16 months since my father had passed and so I was still kind of grieving walking through a lot of the feelings there and so I administered there God used the minister it was it was great but I still didn't feel like I was worthy I still didn't feel like I was qualified I was coming back home and I was gonna you know continue to serve my mom as she's been leading our church leading our ministry serving as the senior pastor and so I was standing the airport I'm in this long line it's a two-hour wait in Melbourne Australia I'm standing in the back of the line just kind of with my head down and I feel this tap on my shoulder and it was this big man from Africa and he said do I know you I said uh I don't know he said I think I know you I said okay I don't know he said are you Billy Joe Doherty son I said yes sir I just kind of had my head down he said Billy Joe was a good man I said yes he was you know I start to tear up because it was it was still real fresh for me I mean anytime people mention his name I'd still just get teary-eyed and he said why are you standing in the back of the line I said because that's that's my place that's my place so many people are living with a non favor mindset that my place is just the back of the line God has no favor for me God's not gonna bless my life when the preacher says favors coming your way that's for the ten people in the room that actually get to receive God's favor that's not for me I'm in the back that's where I was I was in the back of the line in my mind he said you don't belong back here I said yeah I do he said no you don't you're the son of Billy Joe Daugherty I said well I don't think that means much to the people at the front desk he said come with me I'm walking behind him he walks me to the very front he pulls out this card and he says this boy's with me we walk past that two-hour line he takes me past all the security leads me in this back green room he said I'm moving you into first-class I'm gonna give my meat we took the Fastpass first-class royal family favor round come on somebody everybody say fast pass first-class royal family favor the winds are about to change in your life that's what I'm trying to tell you so he walks me into this green room he sits me down he says I want you to know why I'm doing this for you because your dad made an impact on my life he said have you heard the story of Ruth I said yeah I have he said did you know that Ruth got to pick up harvest in field she didn't even work in he said can I tell you something Paul you're about to step in harvest that your dad's so it seeds for you didn't even have to sow it but you're about to reap harvest because of what others have I'm telling you today that you are about to step in to harvest that others have planted for the winds are about to change in your life if you believe Channel six can you believe God this morning that favor is coming your way get ready get ready get ready he sat me down he said Paul you're gonna go in first class that's a 14 hour flight from Melbourne to Dallas he said we're gonna put you in first class and that man's coming to preach for us next month the end of July his name is Reggie dabs and he's gonna bring a fire message I'll never forget what Reggie did for me eight years ago I'll never forget the year after my father passed he picked me out of the crowd I believe God's about to pull some of you out of the line and say come to the front you've been waiting you've been toiling you've been struggling come to the front I've got a fast pass for you I've got a first-class ticket for you come on God wants to bring favor into your life here's the thing a lot of us we've been through so much pain we become so good at pain management crisis management we actually thrive when there's more crises in our life this is a psychological syndrome that people actually develop they get good at walking through crisis and storms and pain that they they feel it they wanted they actually expect more pain in their future they expect to go through more crises they expect more setbacks because that's how their life has always been the problem with that is you stop expecting good in your future but I want to speak what Aurel said 50 years ago in this city something good is about to happen to you today being good is about to happen to you today if you believe the weather guys can you believe God this morning something good the pain the toil the storms are about to stop in your life Paul had been through Saint Paul in the Bible had been through setback after setback after setback he had been circling the islands of Greece he had been bitten by snakes right when he was in Malta he's bent by this poisonous snake that tries to stop his work tries to stop his worship tries to stop him from writing his future bites the place in his life where he is the strongest because he was so tired the snake bites him but what is Paul do he shakes it into the fire and he keeps moving forward what you need to do this morning with the pain you've walked through you need to shake it into the fire shake it into the fire of God bring it to the fire of God you know snakes have oil in them what Paul was doing is he was adding fuel to the fire fuel to the fire the enemy has tried to stop you but what the enemy meant for harm God's about to turn it around for good your pain has a purpose no pain will be wasted in your life whatever you've walked through all of your setbacks Paul turned his setbacks into setups for a comeback God's about to turn all the the wind that's been blowing against you he says turn your sails you're about to go with the wind you're about to move forward with accelerated speed what was supposed to take a long voyage to get to Rome he got there in record time because the wind was blowing in his favor what you've been waiting to get to God's about to blow wind in your favor somebody say the winds are changing the winds are changing now look at this in acts 28 verse 10 I've just been going over this chapter all week long acts 28 verse 10 the message version if you have that the message version I like what he says here he talks about how the island honored us in so many ways if you have it just throw it up on the screen whatever version you have throw it up there so I can show it to the people it says that the island honored us in many ways when we were ready to sail out of Malta they furnished us with all the supplies we needed the message version it says they treated us with royal care Fastpass first-class royal family favor you see you are royalty turn to the person next to say you're royalty now you might be carrying the same mindset I was carrying in the back of the line in the airport in Melbourne you might be thinking no I'm not royalty I'm just I'm just a defeated person there was a guy in the Bible name of Fibby chef he was the grandson of King Saul when Saul died and his father Jonathan died David came looking for Mephibosheth in 2nd Samuel 9 he said is there anyone left in Saul's family that I can bless they said there's a young boy named mephibosheth he lives in lo debar now mephibosheth carried this mindset of I'm not worthy I'm not good enough I'm the grandson of a king who basically died on his own sword I came from a family that was dysfunctional messed up throwing spears at people like David and so Mephibosheth lived with this defeated mindset he was afraid living in the valley of lo debar but all this sudden gets a knock on the door and they say the king wants to see you the king wants to see you the king wants to see you you could just imagine mephibosheth just feeling discouraged because kings back in those days they would kill any family member that was left from the previous Kings family so maybe he's feeling like Oh David's gonna kill me I could just imagine him hiding not to mention Mephibosheth was lame at both feet so here he is he's wobbling fallen the reason why he was lame in both feet is because when his father Jonathan was fleeing out of the palace when the enemies came to siege Saul and Jonathan the nurse that was carrying mephibosheth dropped him when he was just a baby boy and when he was such a toddler such a baby he fell down the steps and it cracked his knees so he grew up lame in both feet because he was dropped by the people that were supposed to carry him you might have been dropped by people but you are not forgotten by your God you might have been dropped in life but God has not forgotten about you he loves you he's calling your name the king wants to see you today the king wants to see you so they carry Mephibosheth they don't tell him why they're carrying him they pick up Mephibosheth they carry him to the palace it says Mephibosheth fell down Oh King David I'm sorry to what do I owe this this meeting with the king and I think Mephibosheth is pulling his head down because he thinks they're about to bring the sword down but David says rise up son rise up everybody say rise up rise up because the winds are about to change in your favour rise up I know you've been through storms I know you've been dropped by people I know you've walked through pain I know your business hasn't been going that well but rise up because I've got something for you I'm about to move you to the front of the line I'm about to bring you into the palace I'm about to change what's been happening in your life so he lifts mephibosheth up he says from this day forward you will live in my palace you will eat from the Kings table you will never toil again all of your days of struggle are coming to an end from this day forward we're gonna take care of you we're gonna bless you I believe that there's people in this room today it's time to change your thinking it's time to get out of the mindset of paranoia about pain coming your way and to start stepping into the mindset that good things are coming your way favor is coming your way gods about to change things in your life is there anyone who believes that this morning [Music] you've got to be a believer so Paul leaves Malta in acts 28 verse 10 with more than what he came into Malta with he floated into Malta on a piece of a broken off ship piece of wood but when he left Malta he left Malta with an Alexandrian ship with more than enough food more than enough supplies whatever has tried to stop you whatever has tried to end your ministry the place that was supposed to break Paul apart the place that was supposed to stop Paul's ministry ended up becoming the place that would support his future chapters the ended up becoming the place that would send him out with more than enough and I believe it was here it was here that Paul was reminding himself of Romans 8 verse 28 and I know that my God works all things together for good for those who love him and are called according to his purpose God works all things together for good in all things in the storms and the snake bites and the problems God's going to turn with the devil meant for harm into your good he's about to use it as fuel and win towards your destiny you're about to get places faster you're about to get places faster it's the change next week we step into July the second half of the year your second wind is coming but what Paul said in Galatians 6 verse 9 I think is the reminder when you're waiting on your winds to change Paul says do not grow weary don't grow weary in Malta don't grow weary in the setbacks that you're facing how many are walking through some setbacks right now ok about half the people in the room don't grow weary in Malta don't grow weary in the setbacks of life 4 if we do not give up I believe God is is preparing you with endurance he's stretching your capacity if we don't give up we shall reap a harvest he says in due time now if God says there's a harvest on the other side of your toil do you believe there's a harvest on the other side of your toy how many you guys have experienced the harvest of God in your life in any moment of your life so you know it's possible you know God could take you into seasons where there's no storms God can't for two years it said Paul had no setbacks no problems no hindrances he was able to minister freely he had more than enough he had friends supplying what he needed God's about to bring you into a season of so much favor I was reading the Farmers Almanac this morning anybody read the Farmers Almanac three of us in here it's all right it's all good but I was reading it this morning I thought it was so interesting because I saw it was raining outside lightning thunder I thought you know it's not every June that we experience thunderstorms like we've been experiencing this month of June but what the Farmers Almanac said I thought it was so interesting it said expect above-average rainfall this year expect above normal rainfall this summer God's about to bring more rain into your life God's about to bring more favor see rain in the Bible represented the Grace and the favor of God coming on a place in 2nd Kings chapter 3 the Kings came to Elisha they said we're dying of thirst we don't know how we're gonna make it he likes dig ditches for tomorrow there is rain that's coming your way you're gonna need holes to fill the rain so that you can fit you can give more than enough to all of your troops dig ditches because an abundance of rain is coming your way I'm telling you today it's time to prepare for the winds to change in your future you need to start digging the ditches cuz the rain is about to fall what what the farmer said and farmers study they know they see what's going on they say there's rain that's coming this has been an unusual year in in the state of Oklahoma this has been an unusual year they said in northern Oklahoma there's gonna be more rain this year than we've experienced in a long time they said in fact in August I don't know if y'all ready to hear this I only want to share it if you're ready if you're ready they said it in August be prepared northern Oklahoma because in late August expect rain of a hurricane force that's coming towards northern Oklahoma when I heard that I got chills when I saw that this morning at 6 a.m. because I'm on African time I don't even know what time I'm preaching right now kind of in a whole nother time zone but when I saw that I go oh my goodness that's right after victory conference God's about to bring an abundance of rain in this city God's about to bring an abundance of rain into those who are ready to receive it for anyone who's ready to believe it and receive it see Paul was a believer Paul was a believer not just a believer in God's salvation for his life he was a believer in God's favor for his life he believed in Philippians 1 verse 12 he says I want you to know that all the bad things that happened in my life have turned out for good I want you to know that God's working all things together for good I want you to know that favor has been on my life even in the storms of life I want you to know that favor is coming your way in Ephesians 3:20 says I want you to know that God can do exceedingly abundantly above more than you can ask hope dream or imagine the question is do you believe he can do you believe that it's possible he was a believer he was a receiver you've got to be a receiver if you're taking notes just put these three down three things down believer receiver release her he was a receiver he was received in other words he believed that God wanted him to receive good things in his life he said in Philippians chapter 4 not many of you have shared in the gift of giving and receiving giving and receiving so many people look at giving tithes and offering as if it's just a one-way thing it's just there it goes my money never gonna see a return on that investment so many people view giving as if God doesn't want to bring anything back into your life as if we're not supposed to expect anything back from God don't know just just keep your mind down-low because don't don't expect anything from God because you know just give but don't expect God to do anything when you give God wants you to receive a harvest in return Galatians 6 verse 6 says God will not be mocked he who sow sparingly will reap sparingly whatever a man soweth that shall he also reap and God is the one who created seed time and harvest in other words God wants you to not just be a giver he wants you to be a receiver he wants you to get your receiver antennas up saying I'm ready to receive the favor of God I'm ready to receive the overflow of God's presence I'm ready to receive my miracles I'm ready to receive my Fast Pass first-class royal family favor so many of us we've got our antennas down because we think God doesn't like us that God just wants us to receive punishments persecutions difficulties poverty you need to get your antennas up man he wants you to receive favor he wants you to read god is a good god jesus said in the book of matthew and mark he said how many fathers know how to give good gifts to your kids if your son or daughter asks for bread you don't give him a snake how much more does your father in heaven want to give you the Holy Spirit and so much more Jesus declared my father is a good good father stop making him look like he's a stingy mean dad that doesn't want to bless his kids he wants to bless you he wants to give you favor he wants to bring you to the front of the line he says get that Mephibosheth mindset lo debar feeling out of your spirit because I'm about to bring you into the palace I'm about to sex you at the table you're you're about to end your days of difficulty the south winds began to blow so while Paul was in Malta he was waiting for the south winds to blow and he was making the most in Malta he was a releaser he was giving everything he had he was living with a generous hand he had open hands we did a series last year called open hand as long as you continue to release what God gives you he'll continue to bring more into your life when you live like this with closed hands you limit what God can do in you and through you so many people when it's time for giving uh-uh my money my money my money and the problem is your money doesn't go very far when it's all your money but when you start being a releaser of your gifts your talents your finances your resources oh if God knows he can get it through you God will get it to you things are about to change in the second half of the year this new fiscal year God's about to bring a south wind into your company into your business into your marriage into your family into your children that have been going against the wind the winds about to push them back in the church the wind is about to push you back into your destiny the wind is about to push you back into your purpose the enemies been trying to come against you but the wind is about to push you forward so Paul wasn't Malta he was releasing seed after he shook the snake off he goes to published his house he lays hands on a man who was sick published his father the same hand that had been bitten by a snake God used that hand to bring healing to this father so God used the place where he had been bitten would you stand up Donald Ellsworth then I'm so thankful for the Ellsworth they're just faithful mighty people how many you thankful for the faithful people in this church would you face the camera so Paul stretched his hand out the same hand that had been bitten with venom God's gonna use the place where you've been hurt to bring healing to those that are hurting so many of us are afraid to stretch out our hands and release what we have we want to hide it I don't want anyone to know what I've walked through I don't want anyone to see that bite I don't want anyone to know what our marriage was was facing I don't want to I don't want people to know the venom that tried to mess with my family but but God said stretch it out release release release it and as he released it he brought healing to the father of Publix and when he released his hand to bring healing the whole island showed up in verse 9 of Acts 28 and it said everyone who was sick on the island got healed Paul left Malta with more than enough because he released all that he had while he was on the island he reaped the harvest of the seeds that he was sowing in Malta don't miss your miracle in Malta don't that's what I'm trying to say Thank You Don don't miss you there's more in Malta than you realize turn the person next day there's more in Malta there's more in Malta don't miss your miracle in Malta you're in a setback you're in a season where things aren't going your way what Paul did to prepare for the winds to change is he just started releasing all that he had while he was in Malta the enemy was trying to stop his ministry but he turned Malta into a ministry he said I'm gonna turn this island that was supposed to stop me into the place that's going to send me this island that was supposed to end my ministry is about to send my ministry forward don't miss your miracle in Malta when I was in Kenya this last week they said the northern part of Kenya is the most impoverished part of Kenya it is extremely poor in northern Kenya people are dying of thirst dying of hunger there's no resources there the economy is terrible there's not even an economy they said in northern Kenya if you're gonna make it if you're gonna survive you got to get to Nairobi you got to get to the big cities in Kenya to survive because in northern Kenya people are dying well one man in northern Kenya had a shovel you see where I'm going with this and he said what if the grass isn't greener in Nairobi what if the grass isn't greener on the other side what if in northern Kenya there's more than meets the eye what if there's more in Malta I wonder what's hidden beneath the soil of northern Kenya no one was digging because no one thought anything was there they were dying because they didn't have any clean water so this man starts digging this happened in the last 12 months this is a fresh story they start digging this man starts digging 25 feet below the the poorest place with no clean water 25 feet below northern Kenya he starts digging he discovers the largest reservoir of clean water in all of Kenya it was right beneath their feet they were dying of thirst and the largest underground lake of clean water was right beneath their feet what I'm trying to tell you this morning is you might feel like you're not seeing a miracle but what if the miracle isn't in another marriage what if it's not in another family what if it's not in a new career what if it's not in another ministry what if it's right beneath the feet of those that are sitting in this room what if it's right but what if it is right beneath the soil of your own marriage your own ministry your own family your own church the place that you've been saying is poor the place you've been saying that's broke the place you've been saying has nothing for you I believe it's right beneath your feet you don't miss your miracle in Malta Paul was preparing for the winds to change he was making the most in Malta he was digging he was doing all that he could so these people they're digging in Kenya they started they joined this man they start extracting the clean water and get this they keep digging and right next to the reservoir of clean water the first discovery in in the nation of Kenya the first discovery they discovered oil in northern Kenya not just a little bit of oil we're talking tons and tons there are multi Multi multi Multi probably billionaires that are going to northern Kenya to extract this boy it's enough to prosper the whole country I was talking with a businessman in Kenya he said everyone's trying to get to the oil now in northern Kenya the place where no one wanted to go has now become the place where everyone wants to get to the place that had the driest economy is now about to change the winds are about to change in your life what's looked dried up and you know what Tulsa is the oil capital of the world I believe there's more wells in this city than we realize I believe there's more beneath the soil of this city than we realized you said no no the wells are dried up God has more wells God has more than enough resources my God shall supply all your needs according to his riches and glory in Christ Jesus but you got to start digging you've got to start digging you've got to get your hopes up that there's more than meets the eye in the current place you're in how do we dig number one we dig into God's Word Paul was digging into God's Word even when he was walking through seasons of setbacks he was digging into God's Word Oh God you are the richest God the riches of Christ Jesus the mysteries of the knowledge of God Christ in me he was discovering Colossians Ephesians Philippians he was discovering the things that God had put inside of him dig deep into God's Word dig deep into the revelations of God's Word you know when I was in Africa and Uganda just we flew back to just last night and Uganda they're now in their six hundred and forty seventh night of straight revival in Kampala Uganda six hundred and forty seven straight if we have pictures I want you to see them six hundred and forty seven straight nights they started this revival September 16th of 2016 don't miss this don't miss this they started this September 16 2016 the pastor said this is gonna last seven days Ron seven days at the end of the seven days it was so powerful so many miracles so many signs and wonders they said let's go another seven days the pastor tried to stop it at seventy seven days and he got threats from the city because the economy had changed as a result from the revival that that places the poorest areas in Kampala were now starting to prosper because they were having revival their businesses were taking off entrepreneurship has been taking off people are becoming multi multi millionaires giving back to the city the rescuing orphans off the street it has changed the entire atmosphere of Kampala because of this revival they said you can't stop this he said I got death threats when I tried to stop the revival so he said I had to pray and ask God because I didn't want to be under the fear of man but God said keep it going keep it going so now they've been gone for six hundred and forty seven nights of straight revival I said that's incredible he said you think America can handle it I said man I want to believe that we can he said what's the atmosphere like in the United States when it comes to God in church how long can they handle being in the presence of God together cuz he said we had to get past the hour service he said what's it like in Oklahoma can they go an hour can they go an hour and a half can they go two hours I said man I don't know I said I get you know people people got stuff to do he said that's the problem in America is people are so busy they don't want to dig for revival they don't want to dig and contend for what God wants to do he said we had to get past the mindset of the service has to end at this time we had to we had to contend pass it I'm not trying to be legalistic this morning but what I'm trying to say is this if we want more of God we've got to take the limits off what God can do we've got to take the limit we've got to say okay he said when we started to linger longer in God's presence is when the revival started to happen he said so we would start our service at 7:00 by the way their services are 12 hours long and nobody wants to leave it's crazy we started I showed up there at like 7:30 8 p.m. I didn't get up to preach until midnight so they worship they flow they minister then they dig into God's Word we dig into put into praise and worship how do we dig how do we how do we prepare for what God wants to do we dig into God's Word we dig through our prayer time we dig through our worship time as we're worshiping as we're praising we're discovering new wells we're discovering God has more God wants to bring more favor into our lives God wants to change the winds in our life but you gotta be willing to linger he said how long will they sit at a football game I said you know a football game NFL is probably three and a half four hours how long will they sit in the presence of God at church he said it's got to change if you want to see revival if you want to see there's got to be so I started just praying because I want to see revival in our city I want to see revival in our church and you know what I feel what I heard God said is to prepare this year sometime in the fall or in January that we're gonna do five nights of fire here we're gonna go like a Wednesday through a Sunday night just five nights of revival and it's not going to be like weird explosion or victory conference it's not gonna be about guest speakers it's gonna be all about the presence of God the power of God we're gonna come and just worship how many guys would enjoy coming to five nights of fire five nights and revival we're gonna go Wednesday through a Sunday night and we're just gonna contend for what God wants to do we've got to dig the winds are about to change but you've got to prepare for the winds you've got to prepare Paul was ready he was making the most in Malta one of the things that really surprised me one of the ways we dig is we dig through our seed when we give to God something happens we release what's in our hand I want I want you to see this I'm almost done I want you to see this video that I took because every night at the revival they were receiving offerings so that the city can continue to prosper so that more businesses would start more people would be employed more homeless people would get off the streets more orphans would get rescued and so I want you to see the joy behind these people as they started to give what they had to the Lord just what if we have that video Cody can you play it I want you to just see this they just start I mean thousands of people and they're just smiling and they're just breeze the seat down to the stage and they know that on the other side of what they're releasing God is about to overflow into their life just watch them [Music] jeez [Music] [Applause] [Music] you see all those crutches and wheelchairs on the sides of the stage people getting healed the whole city the atmosphere was changed [Music] come on you know what they're doing they're digging into the miracles in Malta they're preparing for what God after you can stop it can we give God praise today for what that that's happening it's incredible Church God wants to stretch our capacity would you stand your feet all over this room the winds are changing the winds are changing the

toiling you've been pushing through you've been struggling but you just have walked through a lot I want you to just leave your seat I want to pray for the wind to change in your life today I want you to take a step of faith down to this altar just leave your row and I want you to move towards a second wind that's about to blow in your life again if we release our faith in weather men on TV what if we started releasing our faith in the God of our word the God that we worship who says the wind is about to blow in your life but you've got to get ready to believe it to receive it to release it and to release whatever you have today into God's hands God spoke to me specifically that as a church we're about to release more as a ministry that there's new dreams there's new visions that there's more ministry personally that God wants me to release more seed into this house while I was in Africa God said you need to get back home there's more involved - there's miracles right beneath the ground of Tulsa Oklahoma that are waiting to happen there's new wells that are wanting to spring forth there's oil that's ready to come forth that's ready to burst forth and Tulsa there's clean water

bring you into the promised land the days of wandering and the wilderness are coming to an end in Jesus name Ashley go ahead and pray [Music] lord I pray for every heart present in your presence I pray for a spirit of expectancy to rise up and our hearts father God to not be okay with our pain cannot be okay and tolerate what the devil is trying to keep us under but I think that today we are rising above now we are rising above every circumstance every word that's been spoken against us every word that we've allowed Lord Jesus to linger of defeat in our mind father God but I pray that we grab this word with boldness with boldness father God not because we think we deserve it but because of what you've done father God I pray for boldness to receive your word right now in Jesus mighty name I thank you Father God for a fresh spirit of rising up in our hearts father God God fresh hope God fresh expectancy fresh faith fresh generosity that's flowing through this church and Jesus mighty name father God I thank you father got it than that any of them what I think you father God for hope to rise up in every heart Lord God in Jesus mighty name I thank you Father God that we will

thumbprint of heaven on our life father God God that we are marked by heaven that we are marked by heavens economy and Jesus mighty name father God [Music] you know I really feel this in my heart if you're here today and you sense the Holy Spirit is telling you to sow a seed I want you to do it just be obedient to God if it's not you but if it is you I just feel to release that today if that's if there's someone here today that you feel to do that towards whatever it is that you're believing for just release it you say well I mean is that is that normal seed and harvest said in the Bible is all throughout the Bible God wants you to step in to harvest that you've been sowing towards I believe some of you have sown so much seed you've got big harvest it's about to come your way it's going to come in a lot of different ways it's going to come with joy with peace with new friendships coming into your life God's about to heal some relationships that have been torn that have been broken for some of you that have been believing to get pregnant he's about to give you children he's about to open your womb for some of you that have been believing for for your kids to get married believing for your kids to prosper God's about to bring your kids into their career into the profession giving them jobs giving them more than enough that they need and I want to encourage you today don't put a limit on what God can do we're gonna take the limits off as a church we're going to start believing for a greater place of miracles happening right here next weekend I've got a word in store for you I don't want you to miss it's gonna be powerful but I believe that today God's doing something this week God wants to change the winds and your life Ashley anything before we close out as you were talking they're about taking and receiving you know I think it's amazing that you give us an opportunity to give again because I think that when we give we increase our capacity to receive and I wish I had a shovel because I I saw in my mind that every time we give simultaneously weren't digging we're digging a ditch I give I shake I give I dig simultaneously and the more I give the deeper my hole and the more capacity I have to receive and I believe that it's a breakthrough for our church that we do not give based on what we see not even just financially but even of ourselves we don't get based on what we see we give based on what he is speaking into our life because if we respond to what he is speaking we are increasing our capacity to receive God there's not a problem with God God is not out of finances he's not out of generosity he's not out of plans he's not out of purposes he just needs us to keep digging as we give we're digging Sonia Taney asleep and that's what I see in my heart this morning as we give our hearts it's digging its digging a ditch and the deeper the hole the more that we can give the more that we're making room in our life for God to fill with what he can fill I don't want to just settle for Earth's economy when I can tap in to the economy of heaven never runs out they better strike come on I believe some of you in this room that received this message gods about to launch you into greater favor gods about to take you to new heights new levels you're gonna be a sign and a wonder don't forget where it came from don't forget where God's gonna bless you he's gonna prosper it as long as he knows he can get it through you he'll continue to get it to you I believe God's going to give you creative ideas creative innovations strategies and I believe this second half of the year God's about to release just an anointing of ease where you've been toiling and struggling what I sense is the south wind is gonna blow you and what's been taken forever you've been striving God's gonna just let you just sail with the wind and you're gonna you're gonna step into some greater opportunities you're gonna be like Ruth you're gonna be receiving harvest in fields you didn't even have to work for like what happened in my life my dad had been sowing seeds and now I'm walking into the harvest of what my mom and dad have have worked so hard for God's gonna do that in your life do you believe that today all right let's say this together say Jesus I'm all yours thank you Jesus that you love me that you're forming your not against me that good things are in my future my best days are still in front of me I repent of sin and I receive your forgiveness I confess you today as my Lord and Savior and I believe that you will do exceedingly
