I like to start with something funny- and I heard about this, after he was asked to inform one of his members that he had just inherited million dollars people concerned because of the shock of it. He mad have a heart attack Sir said to him: what would you do if you

parody ten million dollars and said pastor first thing I do is give half of it to the church. At that point, the pastor then say it like you mean it. This is survival. I am what it says. I am it says I have. I can do what it says I can do today. I will be taught the word of God. I boldly confess my mind is alert. My heart is: deceptive. I will never be the same in G May God bless you? I want to talk to you today about look again. We all have dreams that we've given up on and problems. We don't think we'll turn around It's been too long. We made too mistakes too often we accepted is the way it's always going to be, but just because you ve given up, does it mean that God giving up, he hasn't brought you this far to leave you where you are

what he started in your life he's going to finish. You may have had some disappointment. The medical report wasn't good. The business didn't make it. You still haven't met the right person. You've made like it over to you, but God is saying: look again that dream you ve, given porn, I'm still going to bring it to pass that child. You think we'll never get back on course, look again he's going to fulfil his destiny. You think you're going to be single. The rest of your life look again it's already lined up somebody better than you can. Imagine now do your part and start looking again, as long as you think it's never going to work out this way too long that will keep you from the new things God has in store. Who told you you're not going to love again, who told you you're not going to be healthy again, who told you you can accomplish your dreams,

That didn't come from God, don't believe those lies start looking again maybe the loan for the house didn't go through people, don't have the final say, God does look at you weren't able to have the baby, don't let that convince you that you're never going to have it look again, there's a baby with your name on them. You haven't been able to break the addiction now you're learning to live with it. Look again freedom, belongs to you, home. This is in your future. Get your passion back, stir up your Faye. What God promised you he's still going to bring to pass mortar eight, they bought a blind man to Jesus and ask him to heal him. Jesus made mud and put it on that man's eyes and prayed for him. He asked If he could see anything, he said yes,

can see, but it's not clear. I see people walking as trees Jesus prayed for him, a second this time. His vision was perfectly clear. It significant that Jesus prayed for him the first time and he didn't get completely healed. It's not like Jesus didn't have enough power. That day are somehow he made a mistake. Jesus he'll people, all that This was a test when Jesus asked the man. If he could see he all I knew that his vision wasn't clear. He wanted to see how the man would respond. The man could have said. Yes, I can see it's not perfect,

but I'm satisfied thanks for doing this, he could have settled for blurred vision. He could have walked away and thought. This is not exactly what I was believing for, but it's better than it was at least I can see something if he would have accepted it. He would have missed God's best. He had to be willing to look again. When it wasn't completely healed. He was honest with Jesus. He could have been intimidated. This is the one of God. This is a respected healer. I can't tell him that it didn't work out. I have to pretend that it's all okay, instead he was vulnerable, took a lot of nerve to say I can't see clearly it's not what it should be. Jesus didn't get upset, so you need to have more faith. What's wrong with you. I hear people all the time

Jesus didn't, condemn him, didn't make him feel less than he touched. Him Look again He was saying it's okay, that you're, not where you thought you would be. It's okay you can't see clearly, yet I'm not through with you. I have a second touch God already knew what wouldn't work out the first time. The medical report, wouldn't be good He knew you wouldn't get the promotion. The relationship wouldn't work out like this man he's waiting to see what you going to do. Are you going to settle there, I think I'm lonely, but it's okay, I'm barely make but I have got a roof over my head. My dreams haven't worked out, but

I'm doing good enough. Don't settle for blurred vision, don't give up on what God has put in your heart. He has a second touch. He's waiting for you to look again. The first touch brought you to where you are. The second touch is going to thrust you into abundance, integrate relationship in the divine hell into the folds of your destiny. Talk to a young lady that had gone through six miscarriages. She was so discouraged. She had big tears running down her cheeks. Cian decided that she wasn't going to try anymore, the doctors told her it would continue to for some reason or wound couldn't carried the baby at all. What I'm telling you you have to look again. There's

Baby that belongs to you sometimes the most difficult prayer is the prayer for what hasn't worked out the prayer for what we failed at to pray again for the baby to believe again for the dream. This is when many people get talked out of God's best. I could this young lady? She took the heart what I said for added to change. I could see faith and hope and are a couple of years later I saw her after the service she was carrying a beautiful baby girl, I'll. Never get the look on this young lady's face. She was beaming with joy. She said you're, my doctors are amazed. They don't understand it, but I know it was the goodness of God. Friends controls the universe. He can do what medicine cannot do. You may have had a disappointment. Settle where you are weeping may in.

For a night but joy is coming in the morning if it didn't work out. The first time look again didn't work out the second time. Look again, looking keep dream and key plant life? this young lady you're, going to see what God promised you, This is what Elijah had to do. There had been a drought. In some areas for three and a half years. It was so severe. People were barely surviving, barely had enough food and God spoke to him and told him it was going to rain. He went up on Mount Carmel and begin to pray, and At one point, he said that his assistant go out and look on the other side of the mountain and see. If there is any sign, of weighing the young men went out. Back a little later said no Elijah there's! No!

cloud in the sky? It's just as clear as can be Elijah could have become discouraged God you said it was going to rain. Maybe I heard you wrong. There's no sign of it. Elijah understood this principle. What God promised he will bring the past. He told the young man to go back and look again. He came back the second time same thing. Nothing Elijah perfectly clear. The Elijah didn't let these negative reports talk him out of He told him to go back and look again. Third time, nothing look again. Fourth time, nothing look again. Fifth time, still nothing! Don't you know, thoughts came to Elijah, saying you awake in his time? Can't you get the message five times. This drought is permanent, just accepted here, Let those thoughts go in one ear and out the other,

I know it's on the way any moment it's going to happen, this expectancy believe, and it's going to happen. That's your faith being released What allows God to do amazing things the young men came back. Six times larger, still nothing. How long are we going to do this? I'm getting tired Elijah said: do me a favor go back and look again On the seventh tat Did young man came back and said this time I saw a little cloud starting to form it's not much I'll get your hopes up just about the size of a man's hand. I just sent word to the king, saying you need to get your chariot and take all there's about to be a downpour. It wasn't any time before the Heavens opened up the three and a half year. Drought came to an end.

I wonder if allied you would have seen the rain if he had given up after the first and third time or fifth time. What have you to come off? The mountain thought this drought is just meant to be. If he would have accepted it We wouldn't be talking about it. You have to do like Elijah and have them don't mind that you are going to keep looking Can you see the promise come to pass? The medical report may not be good. Looking healing is on the way see how you could get out of debt. Look again. Abundance is in your future. You haven't been able to break the fiction, I went to rehab look again. I went to counseling look again, I prayed and it hasn't happened. Look again What you can't see is, while you're looking God is by on the same line and up the right people array

good brakes healing promotion deliverance. That cloud is starting to form you, maybe in a drought, you been looking a long time. Faithful doing the right thing doesn't look like it's doing any good. God is saying you're about to come into your seventh time. About to see a sign of what God is doing, don't let the little boy you it may be small, but it's going to turn in to a big deal. Suddenly and abundance of favor and abundance of healing and abundance of good ranks. Don't get talked out of it? don't let negative circumstances what you don't see changing venture accept what has it worked out? Look again and again and again When you keep looking your and God I know you're bigger than this sickness.

Greater than this addiction more powerful than this opposition. Believe you restore and health. Academy. I believe I will lend and not borrow, I believe. As for me and my whole house. We will serve the Lord asking you to store your faith out what you giving up on promises you let go of Dreams you think, are too far gone start believing again, God is still going to bring them to pass. That house you tried to buy and it didn't work out. It wasn't the right one look again, you are turned down for that promotion. It wasn't God has something better look again. Somebody walked out of a relationship. They did you wrong. That is How your story ends. Look again, there's another chapter, there's a new beginning with somebody better than you ve ever dream.

You wouldn't be alive. Unless God, something amazing up in front of you? Lady in the scripture named Elizabeth, she was married Zachary Ryan. She had been barren for many years, not able to have a child when they were both very old. When an angel appeared to her husband and said Elizabeth was going to have a baby and they were to name him John. She conceived and she was so happy. After years of being barren a dream, come true. She was finally pregnant. The first few months, Everything was great. I can imagine she was getting the baby's room prepared.

Friends we're coming over celebrating with her she'd, never been this exciting, but after several months she started to get worried. She didn't feel any movement in the womb. Four months, no movement, five months, no movement, six months, still no movement thought started telling her don't be too happy. This is not going to have a good in your baby is not alive about that time. There was a knock on her door. It was her cousin. A young lady named Mary angel had just appeared to marry, and said she was going to have a baby without knowing a man and he would be the Son of God. She asked what happened. The angel said, the Holy Spirit will come on you and cause Conceive for with God nothing is impossible,

When Elizabeth answered the door and saw Mary standing there, the scripture says, at the sound of marries greeting the baby lead Elizabeth will further First time she knew her baby was alive. Why did that baby? Leave when Mary greeted her Mary was carrying in her spirit. What the angel had just told her with God. Nothing is impossible what he promised bring the past when Mary simply said hello, Elizabeth, the faith in her voice brought the life the promise in Elizabeth's room. You may be carrying something today that you feel he's dead, a dream, a relationship, a promise. You know, God gave it to you You used to be excited used to tell people, but you haven't felt any movement.

You don't see any sign of it happening been You don't see how you'll get well. How your marriage will make it, how you'll start that business the baby feels like is not alive. Sometimes all you need for someone like married to show up and speak life into your spirit I believe the reason you feel something stirring on the inside the reason faith is rising. Something says yes, this is for me. I know my dream is still alive is because God Using me as your Mary, that's your baby! Kicking I'm telling you what she told Elizabeth with God. Nothing is impossible. What he started, he's going to finish it. Not too late to all you. Have it. It's too many opportunities. Can I encourage you? You are right on schedule

baby is coming. Your healing is coming. Your breakthrough is coming. Your abundance is coming. I believe, somebody's baby just kicked Please baby just woke up. It's been asleep a long time. You didn't think it could happen. You had setbacks, delays, people came against you. Nobody supported you, get ready. You're about to give birth. This is a new day. God is breathing in your direction in a new way he's going to give you favor that you haven't had, You coming into an anointing of eve where things are going to fall into place. God is going to vindicate you for what wasn't fair right now he's from table before you in the press, love your enemies. You might not see how this could happen, but God has all kinds of ways that we've never thought of like Mary,

Favor of God is going to call you to go where you could not go on your own. You going to dreams were you didn't? Have the talent, the connections, the experience Doors are going to open that you couldn't open opportunity is going to track you down what you thought was dead is about to come July that stirring, in your spirit, that your baby kicking that's a sign. That what God promised you is still alive now keep your face. Turned up live with this expectancy. It may not have happened yet that doesn't mean it's still not going to happen. That's back, didn't, cancel gods plan. It was a set up for God to take.

You further. That delay is not going to stop you. God is still going to do what he promised at twelve years old. My brother Paul had a dream to do medical missions. He was on a trip in Africa with my fathering. While waiting for the plane tours fuel in a small nation called northern Rhodesia. He felt the desire to come back and help the p. He went on to medical school and started his practice. Is a surgeon. Very successful was the chief of surgery helping to run the hospital. He tried several times to take mission strips, but just didn't work out. He had too much responsibility. One thousand nine hundred and ninety nine, when my father went to be with the Lord afternoon, twenty years Paul left his medical practice came back to Houston to help us pastor the turn he thought his dream of doing.

The commission's was over and been out of medicine for years when a friend called and asked He would go overseas with a group of doctors just to see what they were doing all agree when he was there. They took him to the operating room and said we need you. Operate on these people. He said I have a created in years. I just came they said we need you right now. Paul unexpectedly came out of retirement that day and started operating again, I just thank God. I wasn't his first patient coming back a little warmed up. That dream was over. He thought he stepped out of medicine, but because you gave up doesn't mean God has given. That baby is still in there now Paul spends up to five months a year in Africa operating back in the village.

Where they barely have electricity a while back. He was in Zambia. He noticed an old map Zambia used to be called northern Rhodesia. He was at the exact place where the dream was put in his heart Forty years earlier, as a twelve year old boy at twelve, that was the first touch when the dream. Planet in his heart at fifty six. That was the second touch with God, to a new level of his destiny. What am I saying what God started in your life is going to finish. Is there something you've given up on? Doesn't look like it could ever happen? Now it's been too long. You've missed too many opportunities. Look again. God wouldn't have given you the dream, if he wasn't still planning on bringing it to pass, don't talk yourself out of it. You've experienced the first touch,

the second touch is coming there to say like the blind man, God, I can't see clearly my dreams have it come to pass yet God you blessed me I'm grateful, but I'm asking for the full my destiny, I'm asking for the dream to put in me as a child. I'm asking to become all you created me to be when you're honest with when you're bold enough to ask get ready for the second touch, get ready for to make things happen that you couldn't make happen It was a young couple that had a baby that had severe autism for years. She never talked or communicated in any way. The day, she would flail her arms and have uncontrollable meltdowns. At seven years old. The authorities tried to convince the parents to put her in a special home they told her. There was no chance of her improving and she didn't.

Sand of love that they were showing that they were basically wasting their time. These parents wouldn't hear of it. They kept spa. Faith over their daughter and telling her how much they loved her how special she was, how she was going to do great things at eleven years old having never communicated she sat down at the computer and type these words I have autism, but this is not who I am I am. I am funny, and then I love that you're always there for me to hold my hand and pick me up when I They realized she understood them the whole time Teen. She wrote her first novel. She continued to defy the odds, doing things told she could never do God, the final say, the things you ve are impossible A voice is no way can happen. You're child will never get well.

Your business will never make it is saying: look again, I'm working behind the scenes. This is not the time to get discouraged. This is not the time to. Let circumstances talk you out of it. You are close to your breakthrough right now. Cloud is starting to four you're about to say Yes, sire, the God. Is it worth maybe small nobody else celebrates, but your faith you're expecting to your praise, will cause that little cloud to turn out to be a big blessing more chapter. Five amending jars had a twelve year old daughter That was very sick. He came to me, Jesus fell down and said. Would you please come to my house and heal her Jeezy? and he would and started following her. There was a great crowd Jesus was stopped along the way. Wonder after another, you're Jarvis was concerned. Please

please hurry about that time. Someone came from his house said, I'm sorry, Jarvis, your little daughter has died, no use bothering Jesus anymore, Jesus overheard and said to him, don't be afraid, just trust me, and sometimes it feels like what God has promised us has died. It's been too long the circumstances say, there's no way it could happen. Is saying to us what he said to him. Just trust me I still have a way Jesus showed up at the house. Every crying and weeping. He said to them. The little girl is not dead, she's just asleep He went in and said to her wake up a little. I woke up instantly. She was well. You may have

Did you given up on promises? You think they've no way they could happen now. The good news they're not dead, they're, just asleep, God is about to wake up. What you thought was dead, he's about to bring the life dreams you've given up on promise, he putting you as a child, like my brother, he's about to bring the pass now.
