  1. And I'm reading Leviticus chapter 23 verses 1 through 2.

    Leviticus 23:1–2

  2. Now, whenever I read this to you, understand that there are principles that you can even receive out of the book of Leviticus.

  3. Okay.

  4. You ever read that book of Leviticus and told yourself, man, this is drier than sucking on a chicken bone.

  5. I'm telling you, sometimes I read Leviticus and I say, Oh my goodness, Lord, you this is the this is the book where you just test my patience and my spiritual agility, isn't it?

  6. But I'm telling you, if you if you had open up your spirit, there are principles in here for you that would radically transform your life.

  7. Leviticus chapter 23, verses 1 and 2.

    Leviticus 23:1

  8. It says this.

  9. Now they are my appointed feasts.

  10. One way of saying that is this they are my appointed times.

  11. My friend, this morning, I want you to get this deep down in your spirit.

  12. God set it up with his children, the Israelites, that annually they would have appointed times to receive God's favor.

  13. You keep reading in Leviticus chapter 23, it talks about the feast of the Sabbath, the feast of the Passover, the feast of weeks, the feast of booths, uh, all these different feasts.

    Leviticus 23 chapter mention

  14. And if you understand the context there, I'm not going to teach it right now, but every single one of those feasts where God's saying, I'm granting you another level of favor.

  15. I'm the Sabbath, I'm granting you favor to rest.

  16. The Passover, I'm granting you favor because you I brought you out of Egypt, and I will still bring you out of whatever Egypt that tries to come against your life.

  17. God set it up even with his children back then that they would have an appointed time or a set time for favor.

  18. Pastor Aaron, why are you telling us that this morning?

  19. Because, my friend, I want to declare to you prophetically this morning that you have a set time for favor.

  20. I declare to you prophetically that right now is your set time for favor.

  21. Today is your set time for favor.

  22. Uh-huh.

  23. Okay, come on.

  24. I declare to you in the name of Jesus that whatever it is that you've been walking through and wallowing in, and even though you've heard me preach the last several weeks on favor, you haven't experienced it, and you haven't, it hasn't happened to you the way you think it should happen to you.

  25. My friend, this morning I declare to you by the Spirit of God that today is your set time of favor in Jesus' mighty name.

  26. Come on, if you believe it, I want you to shout, yes, hallelujah.

  27. Father, in the name of Jesus, breathe upon your word today.

  28. Let it go deep down into our spirits, producing what it has been sent to produce, transforming what has been sent to transform, breaking what it's been sent out to break, loosing what has been sent out to loose in Jesus' mighty name.

  29. Father, I thank you for the anointing upon my life that it would go forth, God, that I would preach beyond my ability, and I would tap into another realm, and that these people before me would hear the voice within the voice, and that there would be a dramatic transformation that takes place today in Jesus' mighty name.

  30. And so, Lord, we are care, we are mindful to give you all the glory, all the honor, and all the praise that is due your name.

  31. And it's in the mighty name of Jesus we pray these days.

  32. Come on, someone shout amen, amen.

  33. You may be seated this morning.

  34. Hallelujah.

  35. My, my, my, my, my.

  36. I'm telling you, my friend, you have favor on your life.

  37. You have favor on your life.

  38. Come on, the Bible tells us in the in the book of James that you were saved by grace, and it's because of the favor of God that you have now been reconciled back to God.

  39. Remember, we've been we've been preaching that the last several weeks.

  40. I've been preaching, you've been shouting, we've been preaching at each other, right?

  41. Come on now.

  42. My friend, you have favor on your life.

  43. But let me tell you, what I'm talking to you about today is not something that's on your life.

  44. What I'm basically talking to you about today is a moment where the favor of God goes to a greater level in your life.

  45. Where the favor of God, come on now, it takes you beyond what you could do for yourself.

  46. Maybe you've seen it to a certain level, but my friend, today I declare to you by the Spirit of God that you have not seen anything yet.

  47. I declare to you by the Spirit of God that you have not seen anything yet.

  48. Now just bear with me this morning because here's one thing that I understand whenever it comes to spiritual things.

  49. People will stay in a certain position until they have permission to move beyond that position.

  50. Okay?

  51. And I'm not talking about you helping me, I'm talking about the Holy Ghost helping me, okay?

  52. And so this morning, as I declare these things, it's not because I just want to shout and make you feel good, it's because God has positioned you already and ordained for you already to go beyond where you are at right now.

  53. But until you understand and until you hear the word, you will stay where you are at, and you never will move beyond where you're at into the thing that God wants you to move into.

  54. Oh, that's a good word.

  55. Can I give you a biblical practical example?

  56. Jesus in the book of Luke, he's in the temple and he's beginning to to preach and teach in inside the synagogue.

  57. And the Bible says that there came into the back of the room a woman who had been vexed by a spirit of infirmity for many years.

  58. You didn't catch it.

  59. In an unseen realm, she was already healed.

  60. In an unseen realm, she was already standing upright in an unseen place.

  61. The provision for her miracle and healing was already there.

  62. But it took the master to come and to declare to her what was already made available before she ever entered into it.

  63. Uh-huh.

  64. I'm telling you, my friend, there are levels of God's favor that are made available to you even now.

  65. And God sent me here today to declare to you that it is your set time for God's favor.

  66. He uh He has sent me here this morning to rip you out of what was and to bring you into the fullness of what is and what He has for your life.

  67. And you know what's awesome?

  68. After Jesus said, Woman, you are loose from your infirmity, the Bible says that she didn't get up.

  69. Why is that awesome, Pastor Aaron?

  70. Because it lets me know the condition of the minds of people.

  71. You can have a word from the Lord, and the word from the Lord is, hey, listen, you're healed, you're free, and you are in a new realm of this thing that you've never been in before.

  72. But even back then, God understood sometimes people need a little nudge.

  73. Look at your neighbor and just nudge them, say, This is for you today.

  74. Uh-huh.

  75. Look at your other neighbor and nudge them too and say, Come on, you come away with me.

  76. Uh-huh.

  77. So the Bible says in Luke chapter 13, wherever this story's taking place, that Jesus, after he said, Woman, you're you are loose from your infirmity, and she didn't get up.

    Luke 13 chapter mention

  78. The Bible says that Jesus went back to where she was at and he put his hand on her and he lifted her up.

  79. My friend, this morning for you is me putting my hand on you and telling you, Come on, it's time for favor.

  80. Come on, it's your time for favor.

  81. Come on, it's your time for favor.

  82. Come on, favor in your marriage, favor in your relationship, favor on the place of employment, favor, favor, favor, favor, favor.

  83. Come on.

  84. I came here this morning to declare to some folks today that it is your set time for the favor of God.

  85. Hallelujah.

  86. Mm-hmm.

  87. That's it.

  88. This is it.

  89. And listen, this isn't wishful thinking.

  90. This isn't just some hype.

  91. Oh, you know, Pastor Aaron, he just likes to shout in the microphone and get us all the time about this stuff, but I walk out of here and nothing changes.

  92. The devil is alive.

  93. That's right.

  94. I'm telling you, I want you to get this beyond your mind and let this go deep down into your spirit.

  95. Deep down into your know where.

  96. Remember them old timers, they used to say, I I know that I know that I know that I know.

  97. This morning, I want you to walk up out of here that you would know that you know, that you know, that you know, that it is your set time for favor.

  98. No matter what you are walking through, no matter what you are facing, God has ordained this time for you to be favored.

  99. Come on, if you believe it, say yes.

  100. Can I address the mindset in the room?

  101. You cannot wallow, you cannot meditate, you cannot receive the negativity that has been sent your way.

  102. Can I help some people out here this morning?

  103. Because here's what happens: what you meditate on becomes magnified in your life, and so if you meditate on the car broke down, there's no money in the bank account, everybody hates me, I'll never get ahead in life.

  104. Guess what?

  105. That is going to be the reality, not just today, but forever, until you begin to transform the way you think.

  106. Huh?

  107. I'm telling you right now, you uh you get what you meditate on.

  108. You because whenever you meditate on it, you rehearse it over and over and over and over again.

  109. And the Bible says, as a man thinks, so is he.

  110. So that's why I want to address a mindset this morning.

  111. You cannot wallow in the muck and the mire of life.

  112. And can I let you in on a secret?

  113. Life has some muck and life has some mire.

  114. Life has some hell and high waters.

  115. Life has some dirt.

  116. Life hat come on now.

  117. Life uh life has some some friction and some contention.

  118. Hello, you just try to be in relationships with somebody for for three for three days, and there's gonna be a little friction in that bad boy.

  119. You understand what I'm talking about?

  120. Uh-huh.

  121. If if there ain't, just wait.

  122. I'm just telling you right now, can I get amen?

  123. All the mayor people say, Amen.

  124. While you speak in death over us, no, this is reality.

  125. Jesus said, In this life you will have troubles, but take heart, I have overcome the world.

  126. And so if he has overcome the world, the spirit of the overcomer is now your and I's uh portion.

  127. Make sense?

  128. So Jesus never said that this thing would all be lilies and rainbows and unicorn, whatever, okay?

  129. You know what I'm talking about?

  130. He never said that, but he said, take heart because you have the ability to overcome everything that has been sent your way.

  131. You have the ability to overcome every, not just vial of the enemy, but every trial of life.

  132. Because sometimes the trial of life is not the is not the devil.

  133. Oh, you got really quiet on that one.

  134. Well, why do you mean it's not the devil?

  135. Sometimes it's your stupid idea and mistake.

  136. Listen, the devil didn't tell you to cuss that person out.

  137. Uh-huh.

  138. That was what we call your flesh.

  139. And you forgot that that person was somebody over authority in you, and therefore you something dried up for you that shouldn't have dried up.

  140. Hello, you're talking about some of y'all, that person was your significant other, your spouse.

  141. Come on now.

  142. And let me tell you, the devil didn't possess you like he possessed Judas Iscariot.

  143. That was you acting out in your flesh.

  144. Oh, don't get quiet on me this morning.

  145. Brother Donna, help to me up.

  146. No, I'm just teasing, okay?

  147. But I'm telling you, God has given you and I the ability to overcome everything that we face in life, whether it's sent by the devil or whether it's provoked by ourselves.

  148. But you cannot meditate and wallow in all the negativity.

  149. Because if you do, that negativity becomes your reality.

  150. And God has not ordained for you to have a negative reality, He has ordained for you to rule, to reign, and to conquer in this life, not just in the life to come, but in this life as well.

  151. Can I get an Amen, somebody?

  152. How do we know that?

  153. Because even in the inception of man, he blessed men and told us to be fruitful, multiply, subdue the earth, fill it, and have dominion.

  154. After he destroyed humanity with the flood in Noah's day, Noah got off the ark.

  155. And what did God tell Noah and bless Noah with?

  156. Be fruitful, multiply, fill the earth, subdue it, and have dominion.

  157. So God's original intent for man, are you with me still this morning?

  158. Is for you and I to rule and reign and dominate in life.

  159. But things get sent your way to knock you off course and to help you forget that you are not that you have not been designated to rule and to dominate.

  160. This morning I want to let you know you have been called to rule and to dominate.

  161. I want to let you know this morning that today is your set time for favor.

  162. No matter what you've been walking through, no matter what you are facing.

  163. I came here this morning to remind your spirit man that you have been favored by God, and right now is your set time.

  164. Let me give you scriptural precedence for this.

  165. In Psalms chapter 102, I'm not gonna read everything, but the psalm writer in the first 11 verses, he basically lets us know he was having a bad time.

    Psalms 102 chapter mention

  166. Hear my prayer, O Lord.

  167. Let my cry come to you.

  168. Do not hide your face from me in the day of my distress.

  169. Incline your ear to me, answer me speedily in the day when I call.

  170. This is Psalms 102.

  171. For my days pass away like smoke, and my bones burn like a furnace.

  172. Can you just hear the tone?

  173. I'm telling you, I can hear the tone of the psalm writer, right?

  174. Just having pity on himself.

  175. Come on, I mean that this reality, and he wrote it down for everybody to read.

  176. Because of my loud groanings and my bones cling to my flesh.

  177. I'm like a desert owl of the wilderness, like an owl of the waste places.

  178. I lie awake, oh God.

  179. I'm like a lonely sparrow on the housetop all the days my enemy taught me.

  180. Those who decide me use my name for a curse, for I eat ashes like bread.

  181. No, you didn't.

  182. I eat ashes like bread, and I mingle my tears with the drink because of your indignation and anger, for you have taken me up and thrown me down, God.

  183. My enemies, you everybody's against me.

  184. Oh no, oh no.

  185. You ever read your Bible?

  186. I'm telling you, this is this is the psalm writer here in Psalms 102.

  187. My days are like an evening shadow.

  188. I wither away like grass.

  189. And watch this.

  190. I read this psalm like this, and watch what comes next.

  191. Here's the psalm writer having a bad day, declaring the bad day, meditating on the bad day, accepting the bad day.

  192. But watch what happens when we jump into verse 12.

  193. But you, oh Lord, oh come on now.

  194. But you, oh Lord, what happened?

  195. The psalm writer began to get his eyes off of I, I, I, me, me, me, my, my, my.

  196. And what did he do?

  197. He fixed his attention on one that was greater than him.

  198. Huh?

  199. And what watch what happens, watch what happens in verse 12.

  200. But you, O Lord, are enthroned forever.

  201. You will remembered throughout all generations.

  202. Wow.

  203. You know what I imagine the psalmwriter doing?

  204. He's sitting here, he's writing this stuff down, he's crying, he's having a bad day, everybody hates me, God hates me.

  205. But then all of a sudden, while he's writing this, something happens and he comes to his senses.

  206. And I just imagine, whenever I was reading this, I just imagined the psalm writer grabbing a rag like this and going, wait a second.

  207. Let me wipe my brow.

  208. Let me clean my face, let me dry these tears.

  209. What am I doing?

  210. What am I doing?

  211. But you, oh Lord, are enthrone.

  212. What if I I I I got my eyes fixed on the wrong thing.

  213. Let me tell you something, my friend.

  214. It's easy to wallow in your pain and your disappointment.

  215. I came here this morning to invite you to lift those eyes up higher and to watch your God.

  216. That's a good word.

  217. You gotta lift those eyes higher and watch the Lord.

  218. Watch what he says right here.

  219. But you, O Lord, are enthroned forever.

  220. You are redeemed throughout all generations.

  221. Watch this now.

  222. You will arise and have pity on Zion.

  223. That term Zion, even in the original language, means the child of God, the people of God.

  224. You will arise and have pity on Zion.

  225. Watch this now.

  226. It is the time to favor her.

  227. It is the time to favor her.

  228. What was the psalm writer saying?

  229. I might have gone through some crazy mess in my life.

  230. I might have felt like God was against me and people were against me.

  231. My friends were against me, my co-workers were against me, my spouse was against me, my kids were against me.

  232. But you know what?

  233. I got to lift my eyes higher and remind myself that this life that I live is not my own.

  234. I gotta remind myself that He, I'm not the one who called me into this thing, I'm not the one who ordained me to be in this time, in this season in the earth.

  235. It is God most high.

  236. So, you know what I gotta do?

  237. I gotta lift my eyes higher, and I gotta lift my voice and say, But you oh Lord, but you oh Lord, come on, say, but you oh Lord, but you oh Lord are enthroned forever.

  238. Come on now.

  239. If God is enthroned forever, what does that mean?

  240. That means that his plans and his purposes will come to pass.

  241. It means that his will and his plans and his purposes will come to pass.

  242. And let me let me just do like this.

  243. Don't think it's gonna come to pass somewhere out there.

  244. Well, it's gonna come to pass, you know, somewhere in America, somewhere in the nations of the world.

  245. It'll come to pass for somebody else at church.

  246. No, you need to you need to put this in your mind and in your spirit.

  247. But you, oh Lord, are enthroned forever, and it's gonna come to pass in my life, it's gonna come to pass in my family, it's gonna come to pass in my marriage, it's gonna come to pass for my kids, it's gonna come to pass for my business, it's gonna come to pass for my ministry, my friend.

  248. It shall come to pass.

  249. It is the time to favor her.

  250. The appointed time has come.

  251. The appointed time has come.

  252. You need to just put your hand on your heart this morning, declare to yourself the appointed time has come.

  253. Come on, do it again.

  254. Say the appointed time has come.

  255. Come on, the time for your breakthrough has come, the time for your healing has come, the time for your relationship has come, the time for your ministry has come, the time has come for favor in your life.

  256. I'm telling you, my friend, the Lord sent me here today to rip you out of the muck and the mire, whatever it is that has been trying to grab a hold of your life and to remind you that this is your set time.

  257. This is your set time to be favored by God, and don't let anything or anyone tell you otherwise.

  258. Go ahead, hallelujah.

  259. So listen, I want to I that was just my introduction, y'all.

  260. I don't preach long, it's the introductions that take all the time.

  261. All right.

  262. Y'all got a little crazy, stood up on your feet early on in the message.

  263. Just calm down, sit down.

  264. It's alright.

  265. Come on now.

  266. I got at least 10 minutes left.

  267. My God.

  268. But very quickly, watch this now.

  269. I want to give you seven things that your set time of favor brings to you.

  270. Seven things that your set time of favor brings to you.

  271. The first thing is this when your set time of favor arrives, the promise is received in your life.

  272. The promise is received.

  273. Watch this, Genesis chapter 18 and verse 10.

    Genesis 18 chapter mention

  274. To set this up to you, Abram has been promised by the Lord that he was going to be a great and mighty nation, and that from him there would be kings that come from him that would fill the earth, and through him, every person on the earth would be blessed.

  275. He received that promise, but it took 24 years for that promise to materialize.

  276. And so one day, the angel of the Lord, which many scholars believe was Jesus Christ in the flesh in the Old Testament.

  277. The angel of the Lord and some other angels came walking by the tent of Abram going down to Sodom and Gomorrah, and Abram stopped and welcomed them.

  278. As he stopped and welcomed them, Jesus or the angel of the Lord spoke up in Genesis chapter 18, verse 10.

    Genesis 18:10

  279. Watch this.

  280. Then one of them said, I will return to you about this time next year, and your wife Sarah will have a son.

  281. About this time next year, your wife Sarah will have a son.

  282. Someone say, Time for favor.

  283. Uh-huh.

  284. You see, because right there, they had been waiting for years and years and years on the promise of God that had been declared over their life.

  285. But there came a time that it was their time for favor.

  286. And when that time arised, the Lord God Himself declared to them, by this time next year, your life is going to look completely different than what it looks right now.

  287. By this time next year, you're going to begin to hold what you have heard from me.

  288. By this time next year, you um the fulfillment of my promise to you is going to be received by you.

  289. So watch this.

  290. We jump down to Genesis chapter 1.

    Genesis 1 chapter mention

  291. Genesis chapter 21, 1 and 2.

    Genesis 21 chapter mention

  292. It says this.

  293. She became pregnant and she gave birth to a son for Abraham in Abraham's old age.

  294. Watch this now.

  295. This happened at just the time God said it would.

  296. Oh, y'all missed it right there.

  297. Y'all missed it.

  298. This happened.

  299. Come on now.

  300. If you need to look on the screen, look on the screen.

  301. If you need to look on your phone for the Bible, look on your phone for the Bible.

  302. If you need to crack open the analog version, analog means your physical Bible.

  303. Watch this now.

  304. This happened at just the time God said it would happen.

  305. Someone say an appointed time.

  306. Someone say an appointed time.

  307. Say it again, like you mean it.

  308. Say an appointed time.

  309. My friend, this morning, I declare to you that it is your appointed time for the favor of God.

  310. And what the favor of God does for you, it allows you to receive the promise that God has promised to you.

  311. Hallelujah.

  312. Number two, what does what does uh uh set time of favor bring to you?

  313. Watch this now.

  314. Number two is this if you're taking notes.

  315. The delay is denied.

  316. The delay is denied.

  317. The delay is denied.

  318. I came here this morning to declare to somebody underneath the sound of my voice, the delay that has been assigned to your life is being denied right now in the mighty name of Jesus.

  319. Now that might not be for you, but I'm telling you, if that's for you, I want you just to grab a hold of that, and I want you to say the delay is denied.

  320. Come on.

  321. The delay is denied, the delay is denied.

  322. Uh-huh.

  323. Let me give you scripture for that.

  324. Ezekiel chapter 12 and verse 28 says this none of my words will be delayed any longer.

    Ezekiel 12 chapter mention

  325. But the word that I speak, it will be performed.

  326. Can I say it one more time?

  327. None of my words will be delayed any longer.

  328. This is God speaking, but my word that I speak will be performed.

  329. My friend, I declare to you prophetically by the Spirit of God, by the word of God, that none of the words that the Lord has declared over you will be delayed any longer.

  330. Come on now.

  331. No more delay in Jesus' mighty name.

  332. No more delay in Jesus' mighty name.

  333. Habakkuk chapter 2 and verse 3 says this for still the vision awaits its appointed time.

    Habakkuk 2 chapter mention

  334. If it's slee, if it seems slow, wait for it.

  335. It will surely come, it will not delay.

  336. Pause right there.

  337. See, because sometimes we can read these things and just brush right over it.

  338. But watch what it says right here.

  339. If it seems slow, wait for it.

  340. For it will surely come, it won't delay.

  341. But God, it seems slow.

  342. It seems delayed.

  343. I've been believing for my healing, but it hasn't happened yet.

  344. I've been believing for my lost loved one, but it hasn't happened yet.

  345. I've been believing for provision, but it hasn't happened yet.

  346. I've been believing for my marriage, but it hasn't happened yet.

  347. I've been I've been believing for the favor of God to come upon me and that promotion at work, but it hasn't happened yet.

  348. But what does God say?

  349. Wait for it, it will surely come.

  350. But then he puts a cap on the end of it.

  351. It will not delay.

  352. It happens for you now.

  353. It happens for you now.

  354. I come on now.

  355. I declare to you in the name of Jesus it happens for you now.

  356. Your healing happens for you now.

  357. The provision happens for you now.

  358. Your marriage being healed happens for you now.

  359. Your children coming back to the Lord happens for you now.

  360. The ministry breaking forth and breaking through happens for you now.

  361. Now, now now now.

  362. In the mighty name of Jesus, it is your set time for favor.

  363. My God.

  364. Don't get me started up in here.

  365. They're trying to do something this morning, uh-huh.

  366. He's trying to do something today.

  367. It's the 9 a.m.

  368. Calm down.

  369. No, I'm teasing.

  370. No delay.

  371. The delay is being denied.

  372. I remember when we first moved here to Las Vegas.

  373. I grew up here.

  374. Many of you guys know that I grew up here.

  375. But back in 2020, we decided to move from Chicago, Illinois to come to Las Vegas to start the church.

  376. Well, how many understand in 2020 we had this little thing called the pandemic.

  377. And so the world was shut down.

  378. I was working at a church in in Chicago, but I left that job before the pandemic happened thinking I had a plan.

  379. Little did I know my plan wasn't gonna work out.

  380. Because my plan was to go to different churches across the nation and preach and lead worship, and that's how we'd have money, and that's how we'd raise finances for the church.

  381. And the pandemic happened and everything shriveled up.

  382. Everything.

  383. And so there came a point in time where we had to sell our house in Chicago because we had a word from the Lord to come out to Las Vegas and to start this church.

  384. And I'll never forget Ash and I and the kids, we came out here for less than a week, and our job was to find a home.

  385. And so we're we met with a realtor, and they're taking us from this place and that place.

  386. And it seemed like every single place we went, it was just a little bit out of reach.

  387. Well, they can't start until this state, or you don't have enough money for this, or this one is in the wrong part of town.

  388. Do you understand what I'm saying?

  389. And so that last day that we are that we were here and we're getting ready to go back to Chicago because uh we had no money to change our plane tickets.

  390. Come on, somebody.

  391. I'll never forget.

  392. We're sitting there with the realtor, and we we found one house that we liked.

  393. And we said, Well, you know what we're gonna do?

  394. We're just gonna go back home and we're gonna look online and we'll just find something online.

  395. And the realtor told us, right now in in Vegas and in this season, you we don't let people get homes sight unseen.

  396. You have to walk through it, you have to do the whole process, and so you have to make a decision today.

  397. And Ashley and I looked at ourselves and we said, We have no money, we don't know anybody, and there's only one house that might be a good fit.

  398. And so the realtor said, Why don't you write this person a letter?

  399. And you and you ask them, and you tell them, you say, We're coming to Las Vegas to start a church, and uh we're credible people, but in the middle of the pandemic, we're in between right now, but we have references that would back up our character, and so we we sent this little letter off, and we went back home, we got on the plane, and we said, Oh Lord Jesus, what are we gonna do?

  400. Someone say, delay has been denied.

  401. So we get back home, and Ashley and I were sitting there, I'm saying, I don't know what we're gonna do.

  402. We gotta we gotta go back to Vegas and find a place to stay.

  403. How are we gonna do that?

  404. I don't know.

  405. Ashley, let's pray.

  406. Yeah, okay.

  407. She's always the one praying, you know.

  408. I mean, I'm the one that's trying to find stuff out.

  409. And don't forget, we got back home to Chicago, and by the time I pulled into my driveway, I had a missed call from a 702 number.

  410. This little lady on the other line, she said, Hi, my name is so-and-so.

  411. She said, I saw your letter.

  412. I'm the owner of the house that you are that you're applying for.

  413. Give me a call back whenever you get a chance.

  414. And I said, I think I sure would.

  415. And so I call I called that little old lady up, and uh and she said, You know, I I want to hear more about your story.

  416. I got this letter you're trying, you're you're starting a church, and and you're in between right now, and I want to hear more about your your story.

  417. She said, You know, my financial advisor told me not to do this, but there's something about you.

  418. Come on, she said, There's something about you.

  419. I want to hear your story.

  420. And I told her my story.

  421. And by the way she was talking, I could tell there was something different with her, you know what I mean?

  422. And uh by the end of it, she said, you know, I'm a believer, but I think sometimes believers they step out in stupidity thinking it's faith, whenever it's really not.

  423. And uh, and she goes, I just want to hear your voice to make sure this isn't what what's happening right here.

  424. And she, and this was on a Thursday, and she said, Let me take the weekend to pray, and I'll give you a call back on Monday.

  425. And I said, Okay, that's fair.

  426. And I got off the phone with her and I told Ashley, I said, I said, Ashley, this lady, I said, I guarantee you, she's been around Kenneth Copeland and the Word of Faith people for like a long time.

  427. And Ashley said, How could how do you know?

  428. I said, just the way she sounds and the way she talks.

  429. She goes, Okay.

  430. Remember, this is a Thursday.

  431. So I got hung up the phone with with that lady.

  432. I talked with Ashley, and about 10 minutes later, my phone's ringing again.

  433. Same number.

  434. I went, Ashley, look, look, Ashley, look, look, look, look, look.

  435. She's like, pick it up, pick it up, pick it up.

  436. So I'm excited.

  437. I pick it up.

  438. Hello.

  439. Yeah, so yes, this is Aaron Pinot, yes, uh-huh.

  440. Pastor Aaron Pino, yes, very much.

  441. I'll never forget very much, right?

  442. It's very much a Pastor Aaron Pinot.

  443. I'll never forget.

  444. She said, you know, she goes, I heard your story, and she said, I don't need to pray on it.

  445. She goes, you know, I've been a faithful partner with Kenneth Copeland for the last 40 years.

  446. I said, Well, praise God, sister.

  447. What's the word of the Lord?

  448. And she says, you know what?

  449. She goes, I want to do this for you, even though you have no money, even though I have no idea who you are.

  450. She says, get a pen and tell your wife this.

  451. She said, I'm gonna waive this fee, I'm gonna waive this fee, I'm gonna waive this fee.

  452. And she says, Whenever you get here to Las Vegas, you could just kind of she gave me an amount that you could pay.

  453. And I said, I think we could, I think we could come up with that money.

  454. And and I'll never forget, she said, you know, I like what you're doing.

  455. And I'll never forget, she said, I want to be the first member of your church.

  456. Come on now, God, come on, someone give God some praise for that.

  457. But let me tell you right now, the devil wanted to delay the plans of God in our life.

  458. He wanted to delay the start of this church, he wanted to delay you being reached and being being uh uh experiencing the power of God through this house.

  459. But you know what God said?

  460. I am going to deny the delay on your life.

  461. Why?

  462. Because you are favored by me, Aaron.

  463. You come on, this church is favored by me.

  464. This city is favored by me.

  465. These people that I am sending you to are favored by me.

  466. Come on now.

  467. What favor does on your life, it causes the delay to be denied.

  468. And my friend, I came here this morning to let some people know that the delay that's been sent to your life, that has been assigned by the enemy, it's being denied right now.

  469. Every delay is being denied, every delay is being denied, every delay is being denied in Jesus' mighty name.

  470. Come on, if you believe it, shout yes, hallelujah.

  471. Come on, I said hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah.

  472. It is your set time for favor.

  473. It is your set time for favor, hallelujah, my God.

  474. Number three, when it's your set time for favor, the destruction ends.

  475. When it is your set time for favor, destruction ends.

  476. Daniel chapter 11 and verse 27 says this seeking nothing but to each other's harm, these kings will plot against each other at their conference table, attempting to deceive each other.

    Daniel 11 chapter mention

  477. Watch this now, but it will make no difference, for the end will come at the appointed time.

  478. For the end will come at the appointed time.

  479. My friend, I'm telling you this morning, whenever it is your set time for favor, the destruction that has been sent for your life has an expiration date.

  480. And I declared to you even this morning that destruction ends in your life today.

  481. Is this alright?

  482. Come on, I said this all right.

  483. Destruction ends whenever you're favored by God.

  484. I'll never forget whenever Max was about two or three years old.

  485. We were living in Dallas, Fort Worth.

  486. And uh there came a point in time in his life whenever he had a hard time breathing, and his breathing got more and more labored and more and more labored.

  487. And so Ashley said, we need to take him to the care now to check it out.

  488. And so we took this little boy.

  489. This is before Bella was born, right?

  490. Yes, no, yeah.

  491. Gotta remember these things, babe.

  492. Come on now.

  493. But I remember this is before Bella was born, and so we took Max to a care now and we're in the room, and we're we're we're just there with him.

  494. We're like, man, poor guy, he can't breathe.

  495. And all of a sudden, the doctors at care now bust into the room and they said, You gotta sign this waiver right now.

  496. You gotta sign this thing right now.

  497. We're like, Whoa, wait, wait, what's going on?

  498. And they said, We're not responsible at all to what happens to your son.

  499. And we said, What is going on?

  500. And they said, He has this condition to him, and and right now we checked his oxygen levels and the way he's breathing.

  501. You need to rush him to an ER right now because if you don't, he might die in this care now facility right now.

  502. And Ashley and I look at each other saying, What in the world?

  503. We thought he just couldn't, we he was just having a hard time breathe.

  504. I'll never forget, we're there, and Ashley starts crying.

  505. I try to keep it together.

  506. Come on, that's what us men do.

  507. You know what I'm talking about.

  508. It's gonna be all right, it's gonna be all right.

  509. Over on the side, wiping my tear, like, oh Lord Jesus.

  510. I signed the waiver, and I knew an ambulance was gonna be like thousands of dollars, and we were we we did not have the money at the time, and the place we're working at didn't believe in insurance.

  511. My God, we bless him in the mighty name of Jesus.

  512. But I'll never forget, we we put Max in the back of our little Honda Accord, and I'm rushing to get to the ER.

  513. And all of a sudden, this guy becomes unresponsive, and his head just flops over like this.

  514. See, y'all never heard this story, didn't have you?

  515. His head just flops over like this, and Ashley's in the backseat.

  516. I'm driving the car, and Ashley goes, Max, Max, Aaron, he's not breathing.

  517. Aaron, he's not responding.

  518. What's going on, Max?

  519. And she's trying to shake awake, and let me tell you right then and there, I knew the destroyer was trying to come against my son.

  520. I knew he was trying to destroy the call of God that he has on this young man's life.

  521. I knew that he wanted to bring about fear and anxiety into my household.

  522. I'll never forget this.

  523. I called my father-in-law at the time and I said, Dale, pray with me because this is what's going on.

  524. I'll never forget my father-in-law at the time, he was in the middle of New York City, he was an evangelist, and he was preaching at a place there in Manhattan, and he hit his knees right there in the middle of busy Manhattan, and he begins to call out to God on the phone.

  525. And I had it all together until I heard my father-in-law praying for that little boy right there, and I lost him.

  526. Lord Jesus, help.

  527. But I'll never forget, by the time we got him to that ER, he was responding, he was responsive.

  528. I'll never forget, we got back to the room and they said we really can't see anything that's wrong with him, except for what you've been telling us.

  529. But just to be cautious, we're gonna give you a breathing treatment for him, and you make sure he does this to strengthen his lungs.

  530. And I'm telling you right now, this man of God has never faced anything like that ever again.

  531. Come on, someone give God some praise.

  532. Pastor Aaron, why do you tell us that story?

  533. Because watch now.

  534. Whenever it is your set time for favor, the destruction that has been assigned to your life has an expiration day.

  535. Come on, that sickness that's been assigned comes to an end.

  536. That anxiety comes to an end.

  537. Come on now, that confusion comes to an end, it ends, it ends, it ends, it ends in Jesus' mighty name.

  538. Why?

  539. Because it is your set time for favor in the mighty name of Jesus.

  540. Uh-huh.

  541. My God, just lock the doors.

  542. I know it, I know it's 10 59, but I need to get this to the people this morning.

  543. They're just gonna have to wait in the lobby, okay?

  544. Give them some extra coffee and some extra donuts if we have to.

  545. We don't have any donuts.

  546. We got some ice cream in the freezer.

  547. Just give it to them right there, my God.

  548. But my friend, let me tell you something.

  549. It is your set time for faith.

  550. And every spirit of destruction that's been assigned to your life it comes to an end even now.

  551. Even now.

  552. Come on.

  553. The destruction that's been assigned to your marriage, it ends.

  554. The destruction that's been assigned to your health, it ends.

  555. The destruction that's been assigned to your mind, it ends.

  556. It ends today, in Jesus' mighty name.

  557. Every spirit of destruction that has been assigned to you, I'll take authority over it now.

  558. And in the name of Jesus, I declare to you that you are favored by God and that it is your appointed time for that destruction to end now.

  559. Come on, if you receive it, shout yes.

  560. Uh-huh.

  561. Number four, shame is turned into praise.

  562. When favor comes upon you, shame is turned into fruit into praise.

  563. Zephaniah chapter 3 and 19 and 20 says this, and I will save the lame and gather the outcast, and I will change their name, I will change their shame into praise and renown in the earth.

    Zephaniah 3 chapter mention

  564. At that time, come on now.

  565. Someone say, At that time, at that time I will bring you in, and at that time I will gather you together.

  566. You know what favor does for you?

  567. It causes your past to be erased, and it causes you to have a praise in your mouth.

  568. Not a praise because of anything that you can do for yourself, but a praise because God knows how to take the broken things and make something beautiful.

  569. God knows how to give you a garment of praise for a spirit of heaviness.

  570. He knows how to give you beauty for ashes.

  571. Come on now.

  572. He knows how to turn it all around.

  573. And so, my friend, when favor comes upon you as it's coming upon you now, you can open up your mouth and sing a song, you can open up your mouth and shout, you can open up your mouth and declare a thing because God is turning your past into your victory, God is turning your past into your testimony, God is causing there to be a praise that comes upon you because the shame is reversed.

  574. Someone say favor, favor.

  575. Come on out there to shout favor.

  576. It is your set time for favor in Jesus' mighty name.

  577. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

  578. I'll give you the last one.

  579. Is that alright?

  580. Close those doors.

  581. I don't want anyone walking in from second service, please.

  582. Come on now.

  583. They gotta get this later on.

  584. My God.

  585. Number five.

  586. This is the last one I'm gonna close with.

  587. Go on, just play a little song, play some close-out music.

  588. Number five.

  589. The fifth thing that happens to you when it is your set time for favor.

  590. Watch this now.

  591. The curse is reversed.

  592. The curse is reversed.

  593. Deuteronomy chapter 23.

    Deuteronomy 23 chapter mention

  594. This is Balaam right here.

  595. He had just been hired by a demonic king to curse the children of God.

  596. But watch what Balaam says.

  597. But the Lord your God would not listen to Balaam.

  598. Instead, the Lord your God, watch this now, turned the curse into a blessing for you because the Lord your God loved you.

  599. Did you hear what I just read right there?

  600. Come on now, Deuteronomy chapter 23.

    Deuteronomy 23 chapter mention

  601. God turned the curse into a blessing.

  602. He turned the curse into a blessing because the Lord your God loved you.

  603. My friend, it is your set time for favor.

  604. And because it's your set time for favor, listen to me now.

  605. The curse has been reversed on your life.

  606. I close with this story.

  607. Worship team, get ready because the closing out song is your first opening song, okay?

  608. Just tell you right now.

  609. If you need to go, go ahead and go right now.

  610. Alright, my God.

  611. Just the worship team.

  612. Everybody else, you stay put.

  613. Jesus' name.

  614. But watch this now.

  615. When their set time of favor comes upon you, the curse is reversed.

  616. Just the other week we had a blowout service in 11 a.m.

  617. How many of y'all were here for that blowout service in the 11 a.m.?

  618. If you weren't here, God bless you.

  619. It's all good.

  620. The Lord's doing even something powerful even right now as I'm preaching.

  621. So don't feel like you missed out on anything.

  622. You didn't.

  623. But I'll never forget that 11 a.m.

  624. service rolled around, and one of the members of our church said, Hey, I have a friend who's coming.

  625. And she has been told by the doctor that there are tumors in her breast.

  626. And they're doing biopsies to see if it's cancer.

  627. Will you pray for her?

  628. Sure.

  629. Come on now.

  630. Lay hands on the sick and watch them recover.

  631. Matthew chapter 16.

    Matthew 16 chapter mention

  632. That's what the Bible says.

  633. So we're in that service and the flow was different.

  634. I knew I wasn't gonna get to preach like how I wanted to preach, but the Lord was already doing the word, and we're doing and preaching the word.

  635. So there came a point in time during worship where the ministry team would went out and began to lay hands on people and prayed for people and ministered to people.

  636. I'll never forget.

  637. I came walking up the aisle right here, and there's this lady who was who was sent to be here.

  638. She's right over here in this section.

  639. And she looked at me and she goes, I have this report from the doctors.

  640. And the doctors are telling me this, that, and the other.

  641. And I'll never forget.

  642. I had my sweat rag.

  643. I was walking over her and I was wiping my head like this.

  644. Wiping my mouth.

  645. You know, every now and I get them white things on the corner of their mouth.

  646. If I ever have those, just help a brother out, okay?

  647. Be kind, don't be one of those people.

  648. You see a booger in the back cave, you don't say nothing, okay.

  649. I know all you Christian folk don't want to tell people nothing, but help a brother out, okay.

  650. I'll never forget.

  651. I went over there wiping my head, getting the lagonias out of my out of my eyes in my in my mouth, okay.

  652. She's talking, I'll never forget this.

  653. And as she was talking to me, there was something in my spirit that rose up where I just got mad at the devil.

  654. I'll never forget.

  655. I took this right like this, all dramatic like, and I just went, put it on my shoulder.

  656. And I told her, I said, grab both of my hands.

  657. And I looked her right in her eyes and I said, Sister, the Lord has a better word for your life.

  658. I said, The doctors thought, but the doctors thought wrong.

  659. And I said, I I declare to you that they do not have the final say in your life.

  660. I declare to you that the Lord's word to you is healed, healed, healed.

  661. And I had both of her hands in my hands, and I I just looked at her.

  662. I said, In the name of Jesus, every cancerous tumor in your life be removed in Jesus' mighty name.

  663. Every spirit of infirmity that has attacked you in your cells, I command it now to loose you and to let you go in Jesus' mighty name.

  664. I'll never forget.

  665. I got done praying for her.

  666. The service went on.

  667. I went back home.

  668. I said, Man, that was powerful today, huh?

  669. People getting touched.

  670. Spirit of God was moving, people crying, all this other things happened.

  671. I said, Man, that was that was awesome.

  672. I'll never forget.

  673. Later on that week, the person who told me that they were gonna come to service, and that was their friend, they texted me and they said, Thank you for praying for my friend at church today.

  674. They said they just came back from the doctor, and they can't find any tumors anywhere.

  675. Uh-huh.

  676. Come on now.

  677. I'm telling you, my friend, when it is your set time for favor, every curse that has been assigned to your life must be reversed.

  678. When it is your time for set favor, the curse is reversed.

  679. There is no sickness that can hold you, there's no demon that can torment you.

  680. Come on now.

  681. I declare to you this morning by the power and the authority of God in Jesus' mighty name that it is your set time for favor, favor, favor, favored, favor.
