00:03:46.319 --> 00:03:53.599 You you can tell me what I'm dealing with, but you can't tell me what I need to expect because that's up to me. 00:03:53.759 --> 00:03:55.840 I don't have to expect that. 00:03:56.800 --> 00:03:59.759 So, see, the expectation is that hinge. 00:03:59.919 --> 00:04:01.840 That's that's up to me. 00:04:02.560 --> 00:04:02.879 Right? 00:04:03.120 --> 00:04:07.360 Brother, the door to my home is opened or closed is up to me. 00:04:08.400 --> 00:04:08.960 Right? 00:04:09.120 --> 00:04:11.439 I mean, somebody can tell me, leave the door open. 00:04:11.520 --> 00:04:12.080 It's my home. 00:04:12.159 --> 00:04:14.400 If I don't want to leave the door open, I'm not gonna do it. 00:04:14.879 --> 00:04:15.360 Right? 00:04:15.520 --> 00:04:20.480 This is this is my body, this is the temple of the Holy Ghost. 00:04:20.720 --> 00:04:25.040 I'm not gonna allow anyone to tell me what I have to expect. 00:04:25.839 --> 00:04:26.399 Right? 00:04:26.720 --> 00:04:30.480 And that that's not an arrogance, it's not being hard. 00:04:30.639 --> 00:04:32.399 It's just right here in my mind. 00:04:32.480 --> 00:04:35.920 I'm always thinking, no one can tell me what to expect. 00:04:36.480 --> 00:04:38.879 I I determine what I expect. 00:04:39.040 --> 00:04:44.160 Now, here's the the issue with expectation, though, because we're expecting God to restore. 00:04:44.560 --> 00:04:57.120 The issue with expectation is it's that it's that word in Hebrews 11:1 where it says faith is the substance of things hoped for, or the substance of things that we expect. 00:04:57.759 --> 00:05:02.240 I'm so glad Charles Capps taught us years ago that hope is a goal setter, right? 00:05:02.319 --> 00:05:05.519 That that that's the goal I'm looking for, right? 00:05:05.839 --> 00:05:13.920 When you sit down and you write down a goal, six months worth of goals, you're saying in six months I expect to be here. 00:05:14.399 --> 00:05:14.800 Right? 00:05:14.959 --> 00:05:22.240 So faith is the substance, the grounds, the conviction, the title deed of what I'm expecting. 00:05:22.720 --> 00:05:32.720 And so if, but here's the thing: if I just expect what I'm told, there's nothing for faith to grab a hold of and change. 00:05:33.839 --> 00:05:34.079 Right? 00:05:34.240 --> 00:05:38.879 As a matter of fact, Pastor Caldwell used to say, now I'm over in negative faith. 00:05:39.040 --> 00:05:42.639 My faith is working for me, but it's working in reverse. 00:05:44.079 --> 00:05:45.040 Hallelujah. 00:05:45.279 --> 00:05:48.800 And so uh I've I've I've just seen that over the years. 00:05:48.959 --> 00:05:54.000 I've but I've I've watched just as many people say, no, you know what, I'm not gonna expect that. 00:05:54.639 --> 00:05:58.639 I'm not gonna expect that or believe that, and it went the other way. 00:05:58.879 --> 00:06:00.000 It went the other way. 00:06:00.160 --> 00:06:12.160 You know, I've told the story often about the doctors looking at uh Josh and Amy, uh live there in Kansas and telling them about their uh oldest son. 00:06:12.319 --> 00:06:17.759 There's zero percent chance of him living, he cannot live. 00:06:18.560 --> 00:06:20.480 Over half his heart is missing. 00:06:20.720 --> 00:06:22.319 He cannot live. 00:06:23.839 --> 00:06:26.319 I don't know how more impossible you can get. 00:06:26.639 --> 00:06:29.360 Zero percent chance cannot live. 00:06:29.519 --> 00:06:34.160 And yet the Holy Spirit said to them, they cannot tell you what to believe. 00:06:35.519 --> 00:06:38.079 In other words, they can't tell you what to expect. 00:06:38.319 --> 00:06:46.639 So with all the knowledge, and it's they're not wrong, it's not bad, but with all the knowledge they had, they're expecting nothing to change. 00:06:47.040 --> 00:06:52.720 But you had two people that just decided you can't tell me what to expect. 00:06:54.720 --> 00:06:55.040 Right? 00:06:55.199 --> 00:07:03.360 You just you just can't, and we're gonna we're gonna believe God, and we're just we're gonna ask you to do everything you know to do, and we'll believe God. 00:07:04.720 --> 00:07:05.279 Right? 00:07:05.439 --> 00:07:08.800 Well, just a few months ago, the beginning of this year, I got the pictures. 00:07:08.879 --> 00:07:13.120 He's nine years old today, zero percent chance of living, half his heart missing. 00:07:13.360 --> 00:07:16.480 But he's alive and strong today, perfect heart. 00:07:17.360 --> 00:07:19.360 That this is so important. 00:07:20.079 --> 00:07:21.600 What what do we expect? 00:07:21.759 --> 00:07:24.720 So, so see, we don't live in a time where God might. 00:07:24.879 --> 00:07:29.279 The same things that God's always done is what God is still doing. 00:07:29.439 --> 00:07:32.720 It just depends on if people are expecting him to do it. 00:07:33.279 --> 00:07:34.399 Hallelujah. 00:07:35.680 --> 00:07:37.439 Oh, glory to God. 00:07:37.839 --> 00:07:44.480 And that's why you can expect whatever you're dealing with to turn, to be eradicated, to change, right? 00:07:44.639 --> 00:07:50.079 If if something needs to occur to produce the results you want, it will occur. 00:07:50.319 --> 00:07:55.040 If something needs to be taken to get the results, that's what God will do. 00:07:55.199 --> 00:07:55.519 Right? 00:07:55.680 --> 00:08:03.040 He'll put in you what you need to walk in healing, he'll take out of you what you need to be taken out of you to walk in healing. 00:08:03.279 --> 00:08:05.360 But that's what I'm expecting. 00:08:05.680 --> 00:08:18.720 Oh, hallelujah! So Exodus 15 and 26 is a very familiar verse, especially in this healing school. 00:08:19.199 --> 00:08:39.919 But he said to the people of Israel, if you'll diligently hearken to the voice of the Lord your God, and do what is right in his sight, and give ear to his commandments, and keep all of his statutes, he said, I will put, I will allow none of these diseases on you that are brought up on the Egyptians, for I am the Lord that heals you. 00:08:40.159 --> 00:08:44.240 Oh, hallelujah! I am the Lord that heals you. 00:08:45.679 --> 00:08:56.320 And in looking and studying on healing, there's always so much because I can look at that and think, okay, he's the Lord that heals me, so if I'm sick, he'll heal me. 00:08:56.480 --> 00:08:58.559 And that's absolutely the truth. 00:08:58.799 --> 00:09:11.759 But I've always got to dig a little deeper because when you just when you look at the word healing there, it means to mend or to repair, all right, or to bring back. 00:09:13.039 --> 00:09:17.360 And so there has to be this element of restoration. 00:09:17.600 --> 00:09:24.480 One translation, the Fenton translation, says, For I am your ever-living restorer. 00:09:24.799 --> 00:09:28.399 I'm your ever-living restorer, right? 00:09:28.639 --> 00:09:31.440 David understood that in the book of Psalm 23. 00:09:31.519 --> 00:09:33.759 He said, You restore my soul. 00:09:34.000 --> 00:09:34.559 All right? 00:09:35.360 --> 00:09:38.320 You restore my peace, you restore my joy. 00:09:38.559 --> 00:09:47.519 So, uh, and those can be looked at as spiritual things, and I understand, but it places God in the position of restorer, right? 00:09:48.799 --> 00:09:55.759 Whatever sickness has stolen, whether it's strength or energy, it'll be restored. 00:09:56.480 --> 00:09:58.080 It'll be restored. 00:09:58.399 --> 00:09:58.720 Why? 00:09:58.879 --> 00:10:01.840 Because he's my ever-living restorer. 00:10:02.240 --> 00:10:11.759 So there can be something that's needed in your body and it's not there, but you have the ever-living restorer working on your case. 00:10:12.320 --> 00:10:14.799 And so he's working to restore. 00:10:15.039 --> 00:10:27.039 That's why when they say, you know, after, well, people will say, you lost that certain thing, certain element, and you know, you can't regrow that or you can't produce any more of that. 00:10:27.279 --> 00:10:28.879 You can't tell me that. 00:10:29.519 --> 00:10:32.720 Because I have the ever-living restorer on my case. 00:10:33.519 --> 00:10:37.279 I might not can in my natural self, but he can. 00:10:38.240 --> 00:10:42.559 See, a scripture that very often we we read, and and please don't misunderstand me. 00:10:42.639 --> 00:10:45.519 I'm not saying you, I'm just saying people in general, right? 00:10:45.759 --> 00:10:47.039 They they read this scripture. 00:10:47.120 --> 00:10:54.480 Remember when the angel Gabriel came to Mary and he said, uh, uh, you're gonna give birth to the Son of God? 00:10:54.799 --> 00:11:00.559 And remember, Mary said, she said, uh, how is this possible? 00:11:01.200 --> 00:11:01.519 Right? 00:11:01.679 --> 00:11:04.639 Because I've never known a man. 00:11:04.879 --> 00:11:06.240 How is this possible? 00:11:06.480 --> 00:11:08.799 Well, here in the natural, here's the answer. 00:11:09.039 --> 00:11:10.000 It's not. 00:11:11.120 --> 00:11:12.639 It's not possible. 00:11:13.679 --> 00:11:17.679 There are certain things that have to happen to have a child. 00:11:18.240 --> 00:11:21.360 And if you're not doing those things, you're not gonna have a child. 00:11:21.440 --> 00:11:22.399 It's impossible. 00:11:22.639 --> 00:11:25.519 Nobody just gets pregnant by osmosis. 00:11:26.639 --> 00:11:27.200 Right? 00:11:28.480 --> 00:11:30.399 There's actions that have to be taken. 00:11:30.480 --> 00:11:32.559 But here's what I'm trying to explain to you. 00:11:32.720 --> 00:11:36.879 And and the angel explained to her, and he said, here's how it's gonna happen. 00:11:37.039 --> 00:11:41.120 The Holy Ghost is kind of gonna come on you, the power of the Most High will overshadow you. 00:11:41.279 --> 00:11:44.720 Uh what that which is conceived in your body will be the Son of God. 00:11:44.799 --> 00:11:45.759 Then what did he say? 00:11:46.000 --> 00:11:52.000 He said, With men, this is impossible, but with God, nothing is impossible. 00:11:52.960 --> 00:11:53.679 Is that right? 00:11:53.840 --> 00:11:54.559 Say it out loud. 00:11:54.720 --> 00:11:57.440 With God, nothing is impossible. 00:11:58.720 --> 00:12:02.559 And so they can say, your body's not going to produce this anymore. 00:12:02.720 --> 00:12:04.480 You're not allowed to tell me that. 00:12:05.200 --> 00:12:08.240 Because the ever-living restorer is working on my case. 00:12:10.399 --> 00:12:10.639 Right? 00:12:10.799 --> 00:12:15.440 What he said is what I tell my body, and then my body does what I tell it. 00:12:18.799 --> 00:12:19.360 Amen. 00:12:20.240 --> 00:12:31.840 And so when he said in the word that he wants in the very beginning, his will for his first two people, his first two children, was to be fruitful and multiply. 00:12:33.039 --> 00:12:33.519 Right? 00:12:33.679 --> 00:12:35.679 So that's still true for me. 00:12:36.480 --> 00:12:37.039 Amen. 00:12:37.200 --> 00:12:39.200 It may not mean it may not be children. 00:12:39.279 --> 00:12:41.759 I don't want any more children, only grandchildren. 00:12:42.159 --> 00:12:44.000 From now on, that's all I want. 00:12:44.240 --> 00:12:44.639 Right? 00:12:44.720 --> 00:12:48.799 So all those kids old enough that are married, they need to get busy and stay busy. 00:12:49.279 --> 00:12:49.759 Right? 00:12:50.000 --> 00:12:52.159 I have seven, but I need more. 00:12:52.720 --> 00:12:53.679 Glory to God. 00:12:53.840 --> 00:12:54.240 Right? 00:12:54.559 --> 00:12:55.200 Amen. 00:12:55.360 --> 00:12:56.799 So, but here's here's the thing. 00:12:56.960 --> 00:12:57.600 Here's the thing. 00:12:57.759 --> 00:13:03.279 If that was his will then, then that's what I have now. 00:13:04.159 --> 00:13:04.720 Right? 00:13:05.039 --> 00:13:08.639 And so it may be impossible. 00:13:09.279 --> 00:13:12.720 Now again, why did the Bible emphasize that? 00:13:12.960 --> 00:13:21.759 Because there's nothing more impossible than becoming pregnant with a child when you've never been married, you've never known a man, it's impossible. 00:13:21.919 --> 00:13:24.879 It's biologically impossible. 00:13:25.360 --> 00:13:27.120 But yet it happened. 00:13:28.799 --> 00:13:29.440 Right?
