In today’s episode, Joyce joins the girls for the entire episode as they unpack how to face the seemingly impossible challenges in our lives. It’s encouraging, inspiring, and just what you need when the struggle is real…
because i think sometimes we forget
that faith is important and and faith
needs to be
activated and you activate it by i’ve
got a simple little formula by praying
by saying or by doing
[Music]
hi welcome everyone come on in get
comfortable because
this is joyce meyer’s talk it out
podcast
where joyce teaches the word of god in
her practical no-nonsense way
and my lovely friends and i talk about
the real stuff of living it and we
don’t hold anything back we talk about
all of it i’m ginger stocky with
jay williams and aaron cluley we’re
three wonderful friends who are in very
different stages of life but we know the
importance of having
honest loving women around us when we
need a little bit of extra help we call
up miss joyce and we ask her and like i
said today we get her the entire time
she’s all
ours because sometimes you need to talk
about life with your girlfriends so
consider yourself one of
us now definitely and let’s talk it out
together
okay welcome everyone hello
we have loved well we’ve been doing this
for over a year now believe it or not i
can’t believe it
yeah and it’s been so fun to have all of
our friends who are part of this bible
study
to be listening with us and to just
be able to share what we’re learning in
god’s words and how our
our lives are changing we face a lot of
changes in this year that we’ve been
doing this yeah
jay and i were just talking a little
while ago this morning about how
how much we’ve seen god move in the past
year and how
grateful we are to have these
friendships right here and how vital
they’ve been for us i mean it’s
it’s truly remarkable yeah yeah it’s
definitely been a godsend
like who knew that this year
would be all it’s been yeah it’s just
forever
it’s been it’s been a lot for everyone
you know and so
um i’m just i was just telling aaron
like seriously i’m so grateful
for this group of friends like we all i
was like we all
all loved each other before but you know
being able to
meet and talk about god’s word and just
be really honest and transparent and
also having
joyce to be able to whip us into shape
you know it’s so good i think it’s good
to hear
you know reading the word knowing the
word
it’s great but if you don’t apply it in
your daily life it’s
pretty well wasting your time yeah and
so it’s interesting to see
how everybody’s got something going on
but it’s all different and different
people
apply the word in different ways
depending on
their situation and so i think the value
of
the talk it out show other than just
getting the word to people is
is that you know there’s a lot of
different kinds of people watching
but this gives them a variety of oh yeah
that’s what i would do or oh yeah i can
really relate to that so what are we
going to talk about today ginger
well we are going to talk about
something that god put on your heart
really toward the end of 2019 and
when that happened none of us had any
idea how
vitally important it would be and that
is this promise
that with man it may not be possible but
with god
all things are possible so we’re talking
today
about facing the impossible because we
all do
we all face things in our life that we
could say
with man yeah this is impossible but i
remember joyce when you called me
toward the end of last year and you said
you know the this is what i really
feel will will be important for this
year this is the verse that i feel like
god’s
putting on my heart and and i remember
thinking great you know that’s
encouraging it’s inspiring
but had no idea what it would all look
like because this has been a year of a
lot of impossible things
it’s been a really challenging year and
to be honest i’m like wow
that’s impossible but with god all
things
are possible yeah and i know like
the way we’re able to share the gospel
with people is so
different now i mean i was used to doing
conferences and being there with the
people and
you know now everything is through
screen and it’s just
it’s it’s a little bit different when
you’re talking to a camera rather than
to people so i had to really believe god
to be able to do that in a way that
people
would enjoy so we’ve all had our
challenges in different ways but i’m
sure that
you’ve got some particular things you
want to talk about
always well i would love to hear what
everybody has
has dealt with in your life what are
some of those things that you have faced
that
have felt impossible at the time well i
can start
you jumped in pretty quick just got it
jumped right in anything yes
honestly i mean i’ve really just been
living by the whole we overcome by the
blood of the lamb and the word of our
testimony
and although i’m still going through a
lot of the things literally walking
through
a lot of the things that have been
pretty earth-shattering for me
you know um in this year like i’ve faced
things
a lot of things in my life but this
particular year the like the enemy
really attacked my family
and you know i found out that my husband
was unfaithful to me
and um and with that it just shook me
you know you go from being a virgin
until mary
and then you know then have something
like that shake your whole foundation
um i just that felt it feels
and even still now it still feels with
me alone it’s impossible but but
thankfully i do know
that god is with me and i know that all
things are possible and and that
possible
what i’ve leaned on is understanding
that that possible um
might not be the picture that i right
that’s good that i
think will be the manifestation of
possible yeah
my but i have to trust that god has an
impossible
beautiful plan for my life that’s bigger
and better than i could ever
in situations like this it’s it’s really
important to have friends like this
and that’s literally what i was telling
um telling the girls earlier i was just
like
i do not believe like i’ve always had
trust issues just with my
you know my upbringing and didn’t have a
lot of close
girlfriends and always kind of i said i
kind of side eye everybody
you know you know and gender is the
opposite of me ginger believes that
like she so that helps me believe the
best in people
which is not always great i trust
everybody
and then oh ouch what happened
typically kind of like and so that’s
something that god is still working
he’s working on me but um but yet but
this group of friends i do not believe
that i would be able to get through this
season the way that i have been with my
eyes
seriously focused on jesus um because i
have the
i have friends that are supporting me
right
and i have wisdom around me that i’m
able to ask questions and so
it’s just been such a vital season for
me well a time like this
just for people who are wondering well
what do i do
this is a season for faith
now really we need faith every single
day whether times are good
or whether they’re bad but there’s a
pretty amazing scripture in romans 14
that says
whatever whatever is not of faith is sin
god wants us to live by faith
we walk by faith and not by sight and so
i just want to share the
the definition of faith
faith is the substance of things hoped
for
the evidence of things not seen
so faith when you when you really have
faith in your heart
you see something that you can’t see
with your natural eyes yet
and and you believe for things sometimes
that wouldn’t even that don’t even make
any sense to your natural mind
and so just before you know we get too
far into this
i want everybody to realize that that
everything that we receive from god we
receive by faith
faith is not the price that buys it it’s
the grace of god that buys our blessings
but faith is the hand that reaches out
and receives what god wants to give us
so whether you talk about faith
or trusting god are believing god
they all kind of get the job done and so
i wanted to get that in there before we
go ahead and hear everybody’s
yeah because i think sometimes we forget
that faith
is important and and faith needs to be
activated and you activate it by
i’ve got a simple little formula by
praying by saying or by doing
you release your faith it has to it’s a
gift that god gives us
unto every man is given the measure of
faith which means you have all the faith
you need for your life
so say that again that’s so important so
when i don’t know what to do
yeah to activate my faith or to be
stronger and trust in god
you pray in faith you ask god to get
involved and help you
you say
what you believe that god is going to do
you
don’t pray for god to say change your
husband and then
talk about him with your friends like
he’s never going to change yeah you know
yeah or for your children like you know
i’ve got a child that’s so
hard to raise and so you’re praying for
god to change them but then when you
talk with other people it’s like this
kid’s driving me crazy and i don’t think
he’s ever going to change and
right so we need to line our
conversation up with what we’re
believing
and then take action whatever action
that god
shows you to take and if there is none
you know i love ephesians 6 it says
having done all the crisis demands you
are to stand firmly in your place
let’s take a listen to when joyce is
talking about
what this scripture really means that
with god all things are possible
and it will build hope in all of our
lives
it’s easy to say all things are possible
with god
but most of the time we think that means
that we’re just going to sit back and do
nothing
and watch god do this big miracle
and i’ll tell you that sounds so nice
but it’s usually not
the way that it happens and here’s the
reason why we are partners with god
we have a part and he has a part our
part
is to believe
to be in faith god’s part
is to do what we cannot do
and our part is also to do anything god
asks us to do
to cooperate with whatever it is that we
are asking god
to do for us first of all your first
homework assignment
for the rest of this year james 4 2 says
you have not because you
ask not
you have not because you ask
not if you ask in faith
god hears you and unless you’re asking
for something that is absolutely not his
will
you will receive it now
the bible doesn’t tell you when you’ll
receive it
it says believe you have received it
mark 11 does and you will
get it so you have to believe that
you’ve received it
in the spirit that it’s on its way to
you
and that you will get it but you don’t
know exactly when you’ll get it
that’s why hebrews says that we receive
the promises of god by
faith and patience
there’s a test of faith did you really
have to throw that last card in there
you ended with a really tough one the
patience part
oh my for me and i know that we’re all
different in the areas where
i think our faith is stronger and where
um we can kind of get
worn down and we need to study in those
areas and build ourselves up
um for me physical things
have been the areas where i’ve been like
oh am i gonna make it through this
you know is is god ever going to answer
this prayer why is my family member that
i love still dealing with this
why am i still feeling sick or whatever
it may be
and for for me god has been showing me
the most amazing physical
answers to prayer lately and it’s
building my faith in incredible ways i
mean
we have a grandbaby that is an outright
miracle
my dad has been going through cancer
treatment this past year
with very very little hope and god has
done something astounding
in his life he’s doing so well
and even little things praying for just
sometimes you have to lay on your hands
on yourself and pray you know and
and quote the scripture that by his
stripes i’m healed
and seeing god work in those little ways
have been so encouraging
god cares about everything i even have a
dog that should be dead and is still
alive
he is you’ve seen a lot happen he shakes
a little but he’s alive
i didn’t say he’s perfect he’s pretty
messed up but
he’s got a he’s got a few little ticks
and things but i love him so much
and so god i think has given me exactly
what i didn’t deserve but what he knew i
needed
by building my faith in those areas and
it doesn’t mean everything i’ve prayed
for i’ve gotten because i haven’t i’ve
seen a lot of things
that i still don’t understand but when
you see god work your
your faith grows um it’s like watering
it you know the more you pray the more
you see god the more you see happen
the more faith you have and the whole
cycle starts all over so
those things that seem impossible with
him
are not with me they are so it’s
encouraging
to see even the hard times yeah it was
it’s been a pretty neat this week so at
the beginning of the week i had some
devastating news that i got and um
my first thought was oh i’m so grateful
i have this group of friends that i can
talk to because i’m i’m going to need
them to walk through this
also then i went to come on now god like
i’ve made all these right choices why
are you going to put this upon me aren’t
we aren’t we past
all this stuff i have to learn another
lesson i i think i’ve gotten this
and i felt him say like i’ve prepared
you for this you’re strong enough so you
can go through this
it’s like all right that’s cool that’s
great um
but then i’ve been amazed by the faith
that i’ve had because of what you’re
saying like i have seen god faithful in
my life and i have seen him work in
these circumstances where i know
i’m gonna have to walk through a
difficult season but i also know that
all things are possible through him
and i will i will get through this
because i know he’s faithful
so i can stand on the things that i’ve
learned in his word so
i keep thinking about the scripture that
we
briefly mentioned in james chapter 4
verse 2
about you have not because you ask not
and i’m just wondering how many people
because i catch myself doing this and i
preach this stuff all the time
how many people go all day with a
headache and never think
right you don’t stop to ask god
to help you and so i just want to make
sure i throw that out that you know you
god can’t give you something you don’t
ask for
and so unless somebody else is praying
for you which i believe there are a lot
of people praying for all of us and we
just don’t know it
but i want to really encourage our
viewers
to remember that simple thing
you have not because you ask not
yeah and there’s nothing that you cannot
ask god for you you can’t bother him too
much
there’s nothing too small there’s
nothing too big
you ask god for anything yeah and that
just reminded me of like i said this on
on the show
um like during what some of my toughest
seasons
i find myself and i talk a lot all right
like
no we didn’t know that i got no problems
in that department
because one of the things in the
beginning was are we going to have
enough to talk about yes
okay but somehow when i am faced with
some type of adversity um i notice that
i get silent
like my my ne and and i said this before
that sometimes i think i feel
like um i deserve to feel sad in the
moment and joyce you’ve even said like
you know it’s okay to be human
for a moment you just can’t stay there
but i’ve noticed myself sometimes when i
get in those situations i’m just kind of
like
and then it’s like i’ve been beat up on
but then i have to remember the
authority
inside of me to to be able to speak
those things and ask god for those
things and
declare those things and even though i
want to fast forward
that’s what i want i want to get to
being able to be a little quieter
when you’re having trouble is actually a
blessing well good
because normally if we open our mouth
when we’re hurting
we’re going to say the wrong thing so
jesus even said and i love this it’s in
john 14 30. he said
from now on i won’t be talking much with
you
because the time is coming and the devil
has no part in me and so in essence he
was saying and i’m not going to give him
one
so he actually told his disciples i’m
going to get quieter now
and it’s because the enemy’s coming on
strong
so see if jesus can do it yeah
so see it’s like the right thing well i
am i mean it and it’s just
i think it’s balance that’s just really
what i’m i’m
i’m learning and growing and developing
in
is balance of the maturity like the
maturity
process the maturation process of me
understanding when to be quiet
right and when to activate that
authority to actually speak and declare
god’s word
yeah i’ve learned that when i wake up in
the morning like it’s
it’s actually what i’m saying yeah it’s
not it’s controlling what you should
always do that
but what i’m talking about is the
talking that’s going to get you in
trouble exactly
but that’s the part that i i have no
problem i have no problem just doing
that that’s what i need to control so
what you’re saying is right what i
what i have also really come to grips
with in this
scripture and this this promise is that
with god all things are possible but
they’re not always easy no right so
it it doesn’t mean we’re going to get
everything that we
want it means that god will give us
everything that he has for
us but it’s not always going to be easy
along the way but what i love about this
is even though it’s not easy there is
hope in it
there is always always hope in it
because
with god all things are possible and
don’t you wonder how people make it
through difficult things when they don’t
have that so much yeah i just i don’t
know how i would survive if i didn’t
have
that hope to lean on yeah you know i
kind of look at faith and believing god
like this and it may sound really
simplistic but maybe it’ll make some
sense to
some of our viewers you know um
you have two choices you’re either going
to believe god or not
and so let’s just say that i
trusted in god and believed him and had
faith in him my whole life and got to
the end and
oops i was wrong the whole thing was a
myth which is not going to be the case
but i’m trying to make a point here
i still had a happier life and a better
life by believing because
believing in nothing and being hopeless
is awful
yeah and so anybody in any kind of a
situation
every day of our lives we’re making a
choice between believing and not
believing
having faith or having doubt and so
it’s just plain smart to believe
because it’s going to like you said it’s
going to give you hope yeah and it’s
going to make you happier
it’s going to make you more peaceful
going to make it easier to be around
and so it’s really kind of like a
no-brainer you know as far as like am i
going to believe god or not
it doesn’t cost you anything to believe
and you could just
slip into a miracle you’re so right and
when you look at
the scripture possibilities that we can
hold on to luke 1 37
for nothing will be impossible with god
jeremiah 32
17 o lord god it is you who have made
the heavens and the earth by your great
power
and by your outstretched arm nothing is
too hard for you
there’s so many things that encourage us
when we dig
into god’s word so we’re going to take a
listen to what
joyce shared one more time on this topic
and then we’ll come back and we’ll talk
about it
faith is in us but we release it when
you pray you’re releasing your faith
if you’re really praying in faith you’re
releasing your faith
you’re asking god to do something for
you you’re admitting that you
need his help
and mark 11
23-26 says truly i tell you whoever says
to this mountain be lifted up and thrown
into the sea
and does not doubt in all in his heart
but believes that what he says will take
place
it will be done for him
james 4 2 says you do not have because
you do not ask
you know what get bold in your praying
yes
pray for things that just don’t make
sense to your mind if you feel like
god’s leading you to do it
i know this sounds ridiculous
but i’m going to share it with you
anyway many years ago
i felt like god was prompting me to pray
that i would be able to help every
person on the face
of the planet and
the devil said to me who do you think
you are
that’s ridiculous no one person can help
every person on the planet
and i agree but with god all things are
possible
people can get the gospel on their phone
on their computer
on television on radio
on youtube i mean if you’re anywhere
in the world and you can get a signal
[Laughter]
i’m likely to be there
it’s hard to watch television early in
the morning and not accidentally run
into me
i’ll never forget the young man in his
twenties
whose parents had just been begging him
to straighten up his life
and he wasn’t listening to them he
wasn’t paying any attention
he drank a lot and he was leaned back in
his com
what do you call him recliners
in his recliner drinking his beer and he
was two sheets in the wind
and he said so help me you came on
television and said
you there young man lean back in your
recliner drinking your beer
he said it scared the living daylights
out of me
he said i threw that beard down and
prayed for god to save me
god is working in ways that we do not
realize that he is working in all of our
lives
all the time and all he wants you to do
is stir your faith up
right now and believe that all things
are possible with god
[Applause]
amen
yeah it’s so good
[Laughter]
stir your faith up and believe it’s all
possible because
you’re right praying that now to all of
us who’ve seen
what god has done through you was like
well of course
you know that’s what god had in mind but
when you started praying that
it it had to seem like there was no
technology
yeah none so it was like
i mean i i felt crazy even praying it
but i felt god wanted me to pray that
and so
i did well i i’m pretty sure that all of
our friends who are watching and are
part of our study right now
that things are popping into their heads
where they’re thinking
this is what i should be trusting god
for this is what i need
faith for because with god it’s possible
so and
you know whether it’s having a group of
friends like this you know
it’s possible with god we we hear from
people all the time that say i’m so glad
i can be part of this because i need it
but let us also encourage you you know
don’t
think that god doesn’t have friendships
out there for you in real life he does
we are your friends we love being your
friends but maybe you need to stop
choosing who you want your friends to be
and let god bring some friends into your
life
um maybe it’s finances me maybe it’s um
the future what other things do you
think people need faith for today
the list is so long i don’t always think
what i was thinking about was like
even when you talked about some of the
things that you’ve gone through you know
this past
year i just remember being
with you when you were getting those
blows yeah and what a lot of people
don’t know is like
literally like the enemy will attack
right before a conference
oh yeah and we would be preparing or
sound checking or something
and for the past few years like it’s
just been like for ginger
like i remember getting the blow about
your grandbaby and then your dad
at right before we like started a
conference and in those moments
like you were human and you would kind
of like
noodle down and like just cry and be
like god i don’t get this
and didn’t know how it was going to turn
out but then what
years later we see little you know your
little grandbaby like so beautiful and
so
you know great and i remember when you
got the news about your dad and
it’s just you just don’t know and and
when you get that bad news you just
really want to fast forward
to the happy ending because that’s what
tv shows us like that’s what the
that’s what the movies show us you know
it’s the happy ending in in
an hour you know and that’s what we want
but it’s that process and so
i just even think about things like that
you just don’t know how it’s going to
end
right you have to trust that god’s going
to do exceedingly
abundantly above what we ask right
and think you’re right we all take blows
you know we
we get hit and the the other thing about
that
is right after when you have something
like that you have to go on with your
life right
you know we we had to go on and have a
conference and get up on stage
and encourage people and we need to be
the kind of friends that are
the strength for our friends that’s who
you all have been for me
and we we can be for each other and and
there’s just so much beauty in the fact
that
it’s with god all things are are
possible not that you have to do all
things and make them right
so joyce what do we do when we need a
little bit
of extra boost to help in our faith
honestly when i just don’t know
if i if i can believe for this thing you
know
um in in the bible jesus was
right there in person and the man still
said i believe but
i believe but help my unbelief right so
we’re all in that position sometimes
how do we work through that well a good
thing to do would be
uh keep this program on your recorder
and go back and watch it because
honestly that’s what
people i know people have been
encouraged today i know that
and that’s what happens when you get
into the word
when you spend time in the word and
if you’re really having a hard time
believing tell god that
i believe help my unbelief and that’s
okay to say yeah
i mean that that’s why that’s in the
bible so we know that it’s okay to do
that
and let’s also remember that thomas was
a doubter but jesus still met him where
he was at
and he said blessed are those who
believe and have not seen
so it’s better to not have to have proof
in signs
but god does meet us
where we’re at and what i do because i
believe even though i know scriptures
if i’m in a place where i can and i’m
going through a tough time
i will actually get my bible out
and look up the scriptures that i know
about faith
or hope or trust in god and look at them
because there’s something about seeing
them again
that encourage me and let me just
conclude by saying
it’s time for people to take
responsibility for their own lives
and not always be going to somebody else
expecting
them to cheer you up or get you out of
the pit that you’re in
i’m not saying we don’t need our friends
to help us
but sometimes they’re just not there
yeah i mean there’s a lot of people
watching
don’t have a group like this they don’t
they don’t have any and if you don’t
that’s okay
you’ve got the father the son and the
holy ghost and that’s a pretty good
group to have
and uh you have to take the
responsibility i love that
david said he encouraged himself
in the lord and sometimes that’s what
you have to do you have to
do it yourself because we all come to
that what we might call the midnight
hour
where there’s nobody there to help us
and we have to be mature enough to get
what we need from god ourself
without always having a go-between
and i could think of that even with
something that was more practical with
my like my
weight you know so um i just
remember just in this journey of being
in a
pretty it could be deemed as a dark
space but like
my weight journey and making decisions
every day
that i eventually was like well
nothing’s going to change
in the good direction until i start
doing something
different we have to act and do
something different
and so i said every good choice i make
is better than a bad choice i was going
to make
you know fried chicken or a salad yeah i
mean i wanted fried chicken but i ate
i chose a salad so i’m saying like we
have to do it’s taking that ownership of
saying like even with practical things
you have to take the steps you have to
do the work
see a lot of people just want to pray
their problems away or they want to call
some other prayer warrior and say will
you pray for me and then they just
wait until they don’t want fried chicken
anymore well you know
just go away even with you saying it i’m
thinking some fried chicken would be
pretty good
but if all things are possible can i eat
the fried chicken and god just take care
of it
no no just thought i’d try
because you can’t do something bad and
get the right results
oh you’re right yeah it’s just that act
thing though that part
that you have to do something and that’s
even like going through a trial and a
storm
and i was telling aaron this earlier too
it’s just like
i don’t even understand always where i’m
going
but i’m just but walking by faith is
literally
taking that step even if you don’t yeah
no like just keep my eyes fixed on the
lord and just keep moving even when i
don’t want to
move just keep moving and do something
and what you say
both of you say that even as you’re
making those choices even if you don’t
necessarily
you aren’t to your final outcome yet you
can see god along the way he’ll give you
like a little keep going you’re doing
great right that’s exactly right i
encourage you along to keep making those
choices one step at a time
yeah he won’t just leave us there and to
figure it out right
that’s that’s a very important part for
people to see is that
you may not get your total answer yet
but god will show you little signs
sign posts along the way that you know
you’re on your way yeah i remember
little things when
when our girls were little and and as a
parent
you want so much for your children you
know your your hopes are so
high and and there’s a lot of
responsibility
and so it is easy sometimes to
to get a little overwhelmed and not even
to put things in god’s
things in god’s hands because you’re
just so busy taking care of
the day today i’m sure you deal with
that all the time like forget to put
them in his hands because you
you have to remember to do all the other
things yeah right yeah
so trusting god that that all things are
possible that he will care for our
families um and our children is a really
hard one too
it is but you know ginger you were
talking a while ago or i think
jay mentioned that you’ve gotten
attacked right before women’s
conferences
and so you had to go ahead and
do what you were there to do but you
know in reality that’s a blessing
because i think one of the things we
want to say to people today before we’re
done is
you know if you’re depressed or real
discouraged or you’ve just
had a lot of bad news yes there’s a time
to be still and be in god’s presence and
let him comfort you but sometimes just
going and doing something and getting
your mind off of it is so true
is like i mean it’s very valuable having
something to do
is very valuable yeah and a lot of times
i just wish i didn’t have anything to do
well but if you don’t have anything to
do long enough
then that’s not good you know like my
daughter right now
she had a torn meniscus and so she had
to have a surgery
and she’s six weeks on crutches and
she’s like one of these go
go go go go go go and it’s it’s very
challenging yeah for her and it can
affect your
emotions and your moods and when i had
my
hip replacement i had to you know stay
in and
sit and i wasn’t used to that and so
having something to do
is a lot more of a blessing than what we
think it is and if you don’t have
something to do then go
help somebody else do what they’re doing
but yeah and it’s amazing how god gives
you the strength that you need to do
those things
that you have to do at the same time
that you don’t even realize that you
have
because it’s his strength and not yours
anyway you know it’s not your own
absolutely giving you everything you
needed absolutely and i think part of
casting our care on god
and not worrying is giving him the
problem in prayer
cast all your care on me because i care
for you
so you cast your care on him and then
you go on about your business
trusting that god is working on your
problem while you’re doing the thing
that you can do yeah
as opposed to holding the care as you
sit there and wait yeah right
yeah this is a scripture that that i
really love from the passion translation
it’s ephesians 3 20 it says
never doubt god’s mighty power to work
in you and accomplish
all this he will achieve infinitely more
than your greatest request
your most unbelievable dream and exceed
your wildest
imagination he will outdo them all
for his miraculous power constantly
energizes you

i want to ask you to close us out here
today
with a great encouragement for people
who need it
well you know i keep it keeps getting
stuck in my head this thing about asking
and i really strongly want to encourage
you to begin to ask god for more than
you ever have and don’t let the devil
make you
think that well you shouldn’t be doing
that
you know god loves to hear your voice he
loves to hear your prayers
and so just ask and like we said
ask for bold things and of course you
always have to be happy with what
god gives you believing that he knows
better than you do
what you need and that’s true so i
always ask god for big things and tell
him
your will be done however you want to do
it
you do this you ask
believe that you’ve received and you
will get it
you will wait but even that
is possible with god thanks all for
being with us we really appreciate
it we’ll see you next time
