Pastor Joel @ Lakewood Church
The freed Israelites only heard about the blessings God had for them wondering around for 40 years. The next generation experienced the blessings. Voices will tell you that you'll only dream like that first generation but we're in the Joshua Generation!
Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good; Blessed is the man who trusts in Him!
Psalms 34:8 NKJV
We aren't just going to believe for promises, we're going to see the promises.
"Now therefore, stand and see this great thing which the Lord will do before your eyes:
I Samuel 12:16 NKJV
The people who went before may have struggled but I'm not with them!
In the Book of Joshua, the city of Jericho was the first Canaanite city that the Israelites attacked upon their entry into Canaan (the promised land). The Israelites destroyed the Bronze Age wall of Jericho by walking around it with the Ark of the Covenant for seven days.
Generational Blessings
"So it shall be, when the Lord your God brings you into the land of which He swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give you large and beautiful cities which you did not build, houses full of all good things, which you did not fill, hewn-out wells which you did not dig, vineyards and olive trees which you did not plant— when you have eaten and are full—
Deuteronomy 6:10-11 NKJV
John's Compaq Center Seed
Lee Brown was the first AA police chief; Pastor John and Momma Dodie sowed a seed of kindness by attending his reception and letting him know that that were praying for him.
20 years later Pastor Joel called the same man, but he was a Mayor, to ask him about buying the compaq center. Lee Brown said that he thought it would be a great idea.
Had his parents not cultivated that relationship Lee Brown may not have even taken that call.
Dr. Todd Price
Was contacted about an executive who had symptoms similar to disease's he had treated on his mission trips. He determined that the man had a serious malaria infection but he didn't have time to request the normal medicine from the CDC. After prayer, he came up with an idea to do a blood transfusion and the man recovered within a day, the fastest he'd ever witnessed.
Wisdom that goes beyond your normal understanding.
The Lord will extend your powerful kingdom from Jerusalem ; you will rule over your enemies.
Psalms 110:2 NLT
