=== Opportunities Missed (03:41) ===

[00:00:00]  Joan, there was an opportunity that you missed that you wish you had taken.
[00:00:07]  Do you want to share that with me?
[00:00:10]  Well, there's, I'm going to share from a different standpoint.
[00:00:15]  And in regards to the book, this is a book that will get you out of your comfort zone, all the dreams and visions that God's given you to do for him.
[00:00:25]  Have you lived them all?
[00:00:27]  Have you walked out of your comfort zone?
[00:00:30]  Are you doing what you were born to do?
[00:00:32]  95 to 98% of the body of Christ are not doing that.
[00:00:38]  And many times God has called us to do things and we don't think we're good enough.
[00:00:44]  We don't think we're qualified.
[00:00:46]  Thus, in turn, we don't do it.
[00:00:49]  Where Gideon is like, you know, God's saying, God, mighty man of valor.
[00:00:52]  And he's looking everywhere trying to figure out who God's talking to.
[00:00:56]  When he realized he was talking to him, it kind of shocked him.
[00:01:00]  And the same thing goes with me, is that there's many times where I was like, are you sure you have the right person?
[00:01:08]  Because I was the, you know, the weakest, wimpiest, nonverbal person you could ever fathom, a lot heavier than I am now.
[00:01:18]  And I've gone from morbid obese to obese, and now I'm a little overweight, so which is like a good place to be rather than otherwise.
[00:01:25]  And all these things, and I've really realized who I am, not that I'm just Charles or Francis Hunter, but who I am and what God has called me to do.
[00:01:35]  And many times opportunities are presented to us.
[00:01:39]  I had a situation about 20 years ago, and there was a lady, and I told her, I said, you're off work right now.
[00:01:45]  Go get your passport.
[00:01:47]  I'll pay for it.
[00:01:49]  And so a few months later, I got a call from this guy.
[00:01:53]  He says, he says, I know you're going to England in two days, but I don't want you to go alone.
[00:01:58]  I'll pay for somebody to go with you.
[00:02:00]  I know it's going to be really expensive, but I don't want you to go alone.
[00:02:03]  I said, wow, that is really nice.
[00:02:05]  I called this lady and she goes, I didn't get my passport.
[00:02:12]  And here we have a huge opportunity for her to go to England.
[00:02:16]  She still doesn't have her passport, still hasn't been out of the country, missed a huge opportunity.
[00:02:22]  God is calling us.
[00:02:23]  And then one of the chapters in there is coulda, shouldas, and I could have done this and I, you know, should have done that.
[00:02:30]  And all these things and all the regrets.
[00:02:33]  God does not want us to have any regrets when we go to heaven.
[00:02:38]  When we go to heaven, I don't want God to tell people, I had so much more for you, but you didn't do it.
[00:02:46]  And I want God, when I go to heaven, to say, well done, thou good and faithful servant.
[00:02:52]  I had nothing else for you to do because you did it all.
[00:02:56]  You did everything I asked you to do.
[00:02:58]  That is extremely fulfilling.
[00:03:02]  And I want to encourage everybody, you have not walked out what God has called you to do in totality.
[00:03:09]  And right now, God's giving you an opportunity to rebirth your dreams, dig them up.
[00:03:16]  Many of them have been buried.
[00:03:18]  You think, well, I'm too old to do that.
[00:03:20]  Well, I had a lady the other day, 77 years old.
[00:03:24]  She came in, heard me on Friday, sparked this idea that she had had 20 years ago.

=== 77 And Magnificent (00:46) ===

[00:03:29]  She wanted to teach the children how to flag and worship the Lord.
[00:03:34]  And she was discouraged then, but at 77, really discouraged.
[00:03:40]  She heard my word.
[00:03:41]  By Saturday afternoon, she had talked to her pastor and he says, Sunday, which was the next day, you can start teaching children how to flag and worship the Lord.
[00:03:51]  At 77, God healed her body, healed her of arthritis.
[00:03:57]  She started worshiping the Lord and flagging and different things like that.
[00:04:00]  And it was absolutely magnificent.
[00:04:04]  So anointed of God.
[00:04:05]  But to actually get to the point where you can walk out your dreams, live your dreams, and dream some more.
[00:04:12]  Amen?
