Speaker 1 (00:00):
I want to tell you something today. Your life is
not impossible. The promises of God are not impossible. That
what God's spoken to your life can still come to pass.
That in spite of the fact that you have to
reconstruct some things and tear down some things, and rearrange
some things, and may have to do some demolition in
order to do some rebuilding, that God can redesign your

(00:24):
life in spite of your past. Ninety nine years old
is not a good time to have a child, even
if you're able to have a child, who wants to
be running in behind a two year old at one
hundred and one, This is not a good time in
the eyes of men to have a child. But it

(00:44):
was just right for God. And I'm trying to tell
you that God's going to give you the right thing
that at a time it seems like the wrong time
in your life. I'm trying to tell you that what
you started out snickering at didn't mean that you didn't
want it. It didn't mean that Sarah didn't want a child.
It was just that at this particular time, it was

(01:05):
harder than ever to believe God. In the middle of
COVID nineteen and an economic breakdown and a world in
chaos and the country divided by politics. This is the
worst time to do anything, and yet God has a
way of picking the worst time to do the best stuff.

(01:25):
Oh God, I hope you hear me. I hope you
hear me right now. I hope you hear me right now.
I hope you understand that in the middle of all
of this chaos and all of this bad news, it's
the enemy trying to distract you so that you will
focus on the bad news and miss the good news.
Do not know that more people became millionaires during the
Great Depression than any other time in the history of

(01:48):
this country. While other people were talking about the bread
lines and talking about how things were going down and
how things were impossible, other people were buying up property,
buying up businesses, buying up coming because they won't sell
for a little or nothing, because they recognize that the
time didn't have anything to do with the promise. Every

(02:09):
now and then, there are a few people that look
beyond the headlines and see their opportunities. I want to
talk to I'll tell y'all, I want to talk to
you today because the enemy is trying to distract you
with the bad news to the point that you don't
see the good news. Let me tell you something. Everybody's
not worried about the bad news. Everybody's not worried about
the headline. Everybody's not upset about the things that common

(02:30):
people are upset about. Other people are looking for the
opportunity in spite of the aid. I'm ninety nine, but
God said it's gonna happen. And COVID is everywhere. We're
spiking in the city, but God's City's gonna bless me.
Things are getting worse than ever, but I believe God's
gonna bless me. The country looks like it's falling apart,
but God said, I'm not looking at none of that stuff.

(02:53):
I swear I'm gonna bless you. And the headlines have
nothing to do with it, and the report has nothing
to do with it, and the news has nothing to
do with it, and the politics have nothing to do
with it, and the disease has nothing to do Is
anything too hard for God? Not for America, not for

(03:16):
your state, not for your neighborhood, not for your mayor.
Is anything too hard for God? And so I want
to preach to you about this because I know that
the conditions stand in contradiction to the promise of God.
I know that the adversity is great. I know that
there are a thousand legitimate reasons for you to sit

(03:38):
back at being uncomfortable and be nervous, and be afraid,
and be isolated, and be depressed, and be discouraged and
be fearful, and sit in the back of your mind
and say, oh God, I believe you could have done
it in twenty eighteen. I believe you could have done
it in twenty fifteen, and maybe you could even done
it in twenty nineteen. But Lord, this twenty twenty ain't

(03:59):
no way the world that you would shut up laughing
behind the door, come from behind the door of unbelief
and believe that even now God can do something in
your life. Until you get the kind of faith, the defiance,
the evidence, you will never get a breakthrough from God.
When Jesus hurt that Lazarus was dead, and he came

(04:20):
down where Lazarus was, and he came to see Mary
and Martha, Martha said, if you would have been here,
my brother would not have died. Mary said, but even
now I want somebody with that even now faith, the
kind of faith that says, I know he's dead. I
know he's thinking. I know we buried him. I know
he's in the ground. I know we rolled the stone

(04:41):
in front of him. But because you're here even now,
he even know hee know you got the power to
raise him back up again. At least one hundred folks
listening at me right now, God got an even now
miracle for you, an even now miracle. And in spite

(05:04):
of a miracle, a miracle that's gonna break forth in
your life is gonna be the best miracle at the
worst time. It's gonna be something new coming out of
something old. I prophesy and declare under you today I'm
talking to somebody right now, in the middle of the
worst time. You're gonna be telling your grandchildren. All hell
was breaking loose. The country wasn't chaos. They were burning

(05:27):
up neighborhoods. They were sitting in the military. We didn't
know if the country was going to stand. But God
told me to bide now. And because I did it
right then, we are where we are. Right now. God
is getting ready. Oh God is getting ready to do
something in your life. But he sent this word to

(05:47):
you today because God is tired of you standing behind
the door of doubt and fear and carnality, laughing at
his word. You are believing the word of the world
and laughing at the promise of God. And God said,

(06:12):
I heard you laughing inside of yourself. I heard you
saying it was too late. I heard you saying it's
a bad time. I heard you saying it was impossible.
But it's anything. It's anything, anything, anything. If it's a thing,

(06:37):
God can do it. God can't do anything anything. Name
a thing, name a thing. If you name a thing,
it's anything. Anything you name, God can't do it. Is anything?

(06:58):
Who is any thing? Is any thing too hard for God?
So here she is the same woman that starts out
behind the door laughing at God. It's the first lady

(07:21):
of faith to be mentioned in the hallmark of the
eleventh chapter of the Book of Hebrews. Through faith, also,
it's almost like the Holy Spirit is bragging. And how
far he brought her in her thinking. He took her
from laughing and lying to believing. Through faith. Also Sarah

(07:47):
herself received strength. The one that was laughing and lying
grew up. The one who was doubting and worrying grew up.
Through faith. Also, Sarah herself received strength. This is a

(08:14):
Sunday morning for you to receive strength. You've been tired,
you've been depleted, you've been weak, you've been frustrated. You've
been out of energy, you've been out of gas. Let
me tell you why you feel so bad. It's what
you've been eating. You've been eating carnal food. You've been

(08:35):
eating worldly thoughts. You've been eating the words of the flesh.
And as long as you live, offer that Egyptian diet.
You're going to die in the wilderness. In order for
you to make it to the Promised Land, you gotta
eat manna. You gotta eat the food that God is sending.
You got to eat the word that God is sending.
You got to believe the word that God is sending.

(08:57):
You got to settle in your spirit. God spoken, And
he is not a man that he should lie or
the son of man that he should repent. And I
don't care what time it is. God knows my birthday.
God knows how old I am. God knows I haven't
had a cycle. God knows what's up with Abraham. God
knows what's going on in my life. God knows what's
going on in my situation. But I declare, if God

(09:19):
says I'm gonna have a baby, somebody get me a
birth and stool. I'm gonna need me a birth and
stewl because I'm gonna go into labor at a strange
time and bring forth the promise of God in my life.
Who what a thought that Harlan Sanders on social Security
would open up a business that's a household name all

(09:42):
over the world. That somebody drawing a pension a social
security of a few hundred dollars a month would open
up a chicken company and end up going into business
at sixty five. Who what a thought that somebody that
old would just be getting started. That God would do
a new thing out of an old thing. Who what

(10:05):
a thought that that could happen to you after all
you've been through, That God could bring you out of
prison and make you the head and not the tale.
That God could do you like Joseph and bring you
out a cell block B and make you the prince
of Egypt. Who what a thought that God could take
somebody with a broken pass and a damaged reputation and

(10:26):
raise you up and make you respect it in your
community I'm talking about you coming into agreement with what
God has spoken over your life. You don't agree with it.
I'm preaching it. You don't agree with it until you
agree with it, and stop snickering and saying that's for them,

(10:48):
but it's not for me. And it might be for her,
but it's not for me. It might be for him,
but it's not for me. Until you stop telling yourself,
I'm stuck in the hood and I can't get out.
Until you stop telling yourself there is no way out,
there is no way up. I can't do anything. I
tried this, I tried that, it fell. I gotta stay here.

(11:09):
I'm stuck here. I might as well give up and
live like I am one of them rather than to
be who I really wanted to be. Until you stop
saying that stuff to yourself, you are still stuck behind
the door of unbelief. Why Sarah laughed behind the door

(11:30):
I laughed, not Lord, she lied. I don't care how
long you hear great preaching. I don't care if you're
listen at everything I'm teaching on you too, over and
over again, and you can quote it better than me.
You can quote it better than me. You can even
preach it better than me, But until you believe it, it
will not work in your life. I'm talking about coming

(11:53):
into agreement. Abraham and Sarah, according to the scriptures I
just read with you, were in agreement at how ridiculous
God's word was for them. But as they kept on
walking with God. See, most people don't stay together long
enough to walk into the maturity place. It takes you

(12:18):
years to walk into a place of full maturity. She's
ninety nine years old and they're still spiritually immature. It
takes years before you walk into a place where you
can look the evidence in the face and say, is

(12:39):
anything too hard for God? So when you hear the
write of Hebrews in the eleventh chapter talking about the
power couple, you gotta understand they didn't start out the
power couple. They started out the line couple, the laughing couple,
the dowbting couple, the couple of fear and unbelieved. But

(13:03):
as ay kept on walking with God. You gotta walk
with God through the laughing stage. You gotta walk with
God through the lion stage. You gotta walk with God
through the fearing stage. You gotta walk with God through
the worrying stage. And as you continue to walk with
God like scales falling off you, little by little by

(13:23):
little by little, God begins her mature himself into you
to bring you into the power of agreement through faith. Also,
Sarah herself receives strength. You gonna need strength for what
God's getting ready to give you. You gonna need strength
for what God's getting ready. That's why the enemy doesn't
want you to have any strength. That's why he's feeding

(13:45):
you all that stuff you shouldn't be eating in your
mind and your spirit and your soul, even in your body,
because he Doesnet wants you to have the energy to birth,
To really get that. Labor is hard work. Having a
baby is labor. I see why they call it labor.
You sweat, you grunt, grow, you break blood vessels, birth
and the baby is work. You're gonna need strength to

(14:05):
birth that thing that you have started in your life,
and you cannot do it. Tired, you cannot do it.
Tired you cannot do it. Depressed you cannot do it.
Feeling sorry for yourself, you cannot do it. Doubting yourself,
you cannot do it. Walking in unbelieved you cannot do it,
walking in fear, through faith. Although Sarah herself receive strength strength,

(14:33):
she needed strength, Floyd. I thought she needed a cycle.
I thought she needed a virile husband. I thought she
needed to reverse the clock. God said, the first thing
Sarah needed was strength, because Sarah was tired. Through faith, also,
Sarah herself receives strength, strength to conceive, strength to conceive.

(15:05):
We know she believed because it said through faith she believed.
She didn't start out believing, but she had at some
point come to the place of believing. You come to
the place of believing. You don't just automatically believe. You
come to the place of believing. You grow to the
place of believing. At first, you're just making noise and

(15:25):
you're just coming to church and you're just shouting, you're
just clapping, but you're not really there yet. You come
to the place of believing God. I know she finally
caught from behind the door. Quit lying, she quit laughing.
Look at her, she's a woman of faith. She was lion,
she was laughing. Look at all the areas she had
to grow in from laughing to lion to believing. Just

(15:51):
because she was lying doesn't mean she wasn't a woman
of God. Just because she was laughing, doesn't mean she
wasn't a woman of God. She had to keep on walking.
As she kept on walking, she started she stopped lying,
she stopped laughing, and she started believing. So I know
she was believing because it said through faith. Also Sarah

(16:13):
herself now she had the faith. She's believing, but she
needed strength to conceive. I want to talk to people
who are in between believing and conceiving. You believe it,
but you haven't conceived it yet. And the Bible said,
you've got enough faith that you're through laughing and you're
through lying, and you are believing, but you need strength

(16:37):
to conceive. And you need to lift your hands right
where you are and has God to just strengthen you
and strengthen you and build you up and get you
ready and get your energy back and stop a lowing
the enemy to talk you into not being able to
do what God has called you to do. I'm talking
right to you. I'm talking right to you. I'm talking

(17:00):
right to your situation. I'm talking right to your circumstances.
I'm talking right to how you feel in your body.
I'm talking right now how you feel in your head.
I'm talking right to how you feel in your moods.
I'm talking right now, how you feel in your situation.
You need to receive shut down. You need to receive strength.
You need to right now, right now, coming at you.
It's strength from the Lord coming at you, as strength

(17:22):
from God coming at you, as strength from God coming
at you, as strength from God coming at you, as
strength from God coming at you, as strength calling to
God strength. In order to get from believing to conceiving,
you have to receive strength to conceive seed
