Transcript

[Pastor Paul]

Hey, friends. I wanted to take a moment to share about the message you're going to hear today. God put a word on my heart to stir up faith for all of our church, including you that are watching. If this is your first time to watch a message of victory or listen to our podcast, I really believe that God has a word on finishing this year with faith and really finishing with a seed towards the miracle you're praying for. You know, the Bible talks a lot about the power of seed, time and harvest, the principles of sowing and reaping. And so today you're going to hear some amazing testimonies. You're going to hear from some of our friends that have experienced a miracle in their life, how God showed up. And some of them you're going to hear right from the beginning here. So what we decided to do, instead of uploading just the message today, we uploaded part of our worship moment and a testimony of a miracle that happened in one of our worship leaders, as well as some of the stories that lead up to the message and then lead up to the final moment in the service where, where we pray for people to experience a miracle in their life. So I hope this word encourages you. Please listen to the whole thing. If you're one of those people that only listens to just a little bit of it, this is a great message to honestly listen to the whole thing, share it with a friend, maybe, you know, someone that's praying for a miracle, believing for a miracle in their own life. I honestly believe this message will speak hope and encouragement and build faith to see miracles in this season. God bless you. Let's get right into the word.

[Erica Silva]

Hi, I'm Erica Silva. I'm a wife and a mom of three kids, and we've been at Victory for 10 years now. In June of this year, I got sick and I started getting worse and worse and the doctors couldn't really find out what was going on. And it wasn't until September that they found out that there were nodules in my lungs, that there was a mass in my heart caused by that bacteria that they found in my blood because I had a VST from birth, which is a defect that is essentially a hole in my heart. They started, you know, telling me that I would have to be on antibiotics for the rest of my life. At that point, I think just, you know, going through months and months of not knowing what was going on led us to a place where we said that, you know, enough. Suddenly I had just faith rise inside of me. And I looked at the doctor. And I said, no, I will not be on antibiotics for life. And I said, what do you need to see? And he said, the only way that that won't happen is if that heart, if that hole is closed. And then the words just came out of me, and I said, you know what? So watch, because my God can do it. I remember just looking at my husband afterwards, after the appointment, and I said, babe, we gotta go. We have a lot to pray for. And he started texting, you know, the pastors, and he started texting the team, and he said, this is what we're believing for. And I remember so many people came with, like, just around us and started praying, and we started sharing. This is what we're believing for. And it sounded crazy, but we said, okay, this is it. Now we are believing for something greater. So after I had all the scans, it was time to go back to that doctor. And I actually have the audio that I want to play for you guys.

[Pastor Paul]

I mean, this is just normal.

[Pastor Terry Hinshaw]

This is just normal.

[Pastor Paul]

So no vst? No vst.

Nothing.

[Pastor Terry Hinshaw]

And I don't know what this density was.

[Pastor Paul]

I don't have any idea.

[Pastor Terry Hinshaw]

Maybe you did have endocarditis and it.

[Pastor Paul]

Was just sensitive and it resulted.

[Daniel]

They found.

[Pastor Paul]

When they did the TE in the hospital, they found the mass over there, and they told me there was a hole. Yeah, it was on the wrong side.

[Pastor Terry Hinshaw]

I mean, it wasn't on the wrong side, but it was on the right side.

[Pastor Paul]

There's none of that there.

[Worship Leader]

I mean, it's.

[Pastor Paul]

I. I hope my. I wish if I get a cardiac mri. I hope mine looks like this. Okay. You don't need me. So you're a surgeon. Not a surgeon, I'm sorry to say. You don't need me.

[Worship Leader]

No. I'm so glad to hear that.

[Pastor Paul]

I'm not sorry to say that.

[Worship Leader]

Fear is not my filter. You are. You are.

Sickness is not my story. You are. You are.

Heartbreaking is not my hope. You are. You are.

Death is not the end. You. Oh, sing it. Sing it this morning. Over your life. Fear is not my future. You are. You are.

Sickness is not your story. You are.

Heartbreak's not your home. You are. Oh, my God. God of your home. Death is not the end. You are. You are.

Oh, jesus.

So I don't know what your impossibility.

[Erica Silva]

Is this morning, but let me be the reminder that our God can do anything.

[Worship Leader]

That our God can do anything. And what is impossible with men? It's possible with God. What is impossible with men? It is possible with God. And you know what? We've seen enough to not believe. We've seen enough to let our faith rise in this place and trust that our God has the provision. He has the healing. He has restoration. He has reconciliation. Everything that you are in need of to more this morning. He has it. He has it. He has it.

[Pastor Paul]

Isaiah, chapter 40 says, the grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of our God endures forever. His word is still working. See the sovereign Lord. He comes with power and he rules with a mighty arm. And he brings his reward with Him. He tends to his flock like a good shepherd. He gathers his lambs in his arms. He carries us close to his heart. He gently leads those who have young. Who has measured the waters in the hollow of his hand or who with the breadth of his hand has marked off the heavens? Who could hold the dust of the earth in a basket or weigh the mountains on the scales? Who can fathom the Spirit of the Lord or instruct God as His counselor? Whom did the Lord consult to enlighten himself? Who taught God the right way? With whom will you compare the Lord? There is no equal. There is no other God. To what image will you liken to him? As for idols, metal workers cast them. A goldsmith overlays it with gold. A person. Listen. Do you not know? Have you not heard? He is the everlasting God. Have you not been told? From the beginning of time he sits enthroned above the circle of the earth. The people of the earth are like grasshoppers. He stretches out the heavens like a canopy. He spreads them out like a tent to live in. He brings princes to not and reduces rulers of this world to nothing. To whom will you compare the Lord? Who is his equal? I lift up my eyes to the heavens. Who created all of these things? He brings out the stars one by one. He calls every star by name. Because of his mighty power and his mighty strength. Not one star is missing in the sky. So why do you complain? Why do you say God doesn't see me? God doesn't care about me. Do you not know? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He. He doesn't grow tired. He doesn't grow weary. His understanding no one can fathom. He gives strength to the weary and increases power to the weak. Even young men grow tired and fall. Even young men stumble. But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not be faint. Come on. Give praise to the Lord. He is your redeemer. He is your strong tower. He is your shepherd. He is your creator. He sees you. He knows you. He cares for you.

You know, this morning as I was listening to Erica share her testimony and then seeing her sing out of her testimony, friends, Erica was not supposed to be at church this last month. Her heart was supposed to keep her on an IV for the rest of her life and die a young life, but because of God. But God. But God. But God. Come on. Some of y' all weren't even supposed to be in the room today. You should have been dead a long time ago. There should have been things that took you out of church a long time ago. But God. Somebody say, but God.

When I look at Erica and I see her singing and I see her fully healed, her heart healed, I'm reminded God still does miracles today. And if God did it for Erica, he can do it for you. This is miracle offering weekend, and in just a little bit, we're going to bring our offering to the Lord and we are going to pray for miracles at the end of this service. But I feel like some of you are in the room today and you've stopped believing for miracles. And I. I just felt the Holy Spirit telling me this morning to tell some people in the room, get those miracles off the shelf that you've left on there for a while. It's time to dust off some dreams today. Dust off some prayers, Dust off that Bible where the promises of God have been sitting in your house. And maybe you walk through grief. Maybe you walk through hurt. Maybe you walk through disappointment in 2025. Maybe you're here today and you go, paul, it's been like the worst year of my life. Don't let this year end in defeat. Don't let this year end in grief. Turn the. Turn the end of this year into a moment of worship. Give it to God. The Bible says, those who plant in tears, those who sow in tears will reap a harvest of joy. Friends, this morning is a morning not to be grieving, not to be sad, not to go. God doesn't care about me. This is a morning to dust off the prayers and believe that today is a day of miracles. I believe the month of December at Victory is going to be a month marked by miracles. I've already started to see it. We've already started seeing testimonies. This year has been a year of opportunity for the church to reach more people, Really. A year of faith. A year of believing for bigger things and. And going after more people and ministering to people in the prisons and going into all these different outreaches. I'm coming to the end of this year and honestly, even in my own heart, I'm going, God, what. What am I holding back in my own life because of fear, because of a scarcity mindset, because of this. This. Even at times, all of us in this room, we face feelings of discouragement, disappointment. What am I limiting that I need to bring to the altar today in my own heart to say, God, I want to stretch my faith to believe nothing is impossible. If you healed Erica, what area in my life do you need to heal? What area in my life do you need to restore? What thing in my life have I given up on you getting involved? Today is a day to believe for supernatural intervention in your life from heaven. So, Lord, I pray, God, that we would leave. Just close your eyes across this room. Lord, I pray that we would leave different than the way we came. I pray that we would leave with greater faith. I pray that we would leave with greater hope. I pray that we would leave with greater courage. God, I pray that today our eyes would be lifted to the heavens where our help comes from. God, I thank you. There is no other God besides you, Lord. There's not even someone that comes close to you who is your equal. There is none. God, I thank you, Lord, that you are able. You are more than able, God, to do the things in our life that seem impossible, possible. So, God, this morning I pray that our hearts and our eyes would be fixed on you. Our hope is not in the government. Our hope is not in a president. Our hope is not in our employer. Our hope is not in a boss. Our hope is not in a manager. Our hope is not in our parents. Our hope is not in our last name, our connections, our bank account. Our hope is in Jehovah Jireh, our provider, Jehovah Nisi, our banner of victory, Jehovah Rapha, our healer. So this morning, God, we lift our eyes to you. And we lift our hearts to you. And we lay down fear, and we lay down worry. And we lay down the scarcity mindset. And today we just declare God, you are faithful, you are a good God. And your mercy and your goodness follow us all the days of our life in Jesus name. If you agree with that, say amen and amen. Come on. You're in the right place today. Come on. A divided world needs a united church. A world that speaks death needs a church that speaks life. So let's lift each other. Hands up on our left, on our right.

You never know who on your road needs a lifted hand. You never know who on your road just walked through a hard week. And that lifted hand right now is just a. It's a sign of encouragement. If you could see what I see. Man, this looks beautiful. Come on. This is the family of God. Every nation, every tribe, every tongue, young and old. All right, the words are on the screen. Let's say it together. Here we go. One, two, three.

[Erica Silva]

I'm here on purpose because I have a purpose.

[Worship Leader]

My heart is open, my mind is ready to receive, because God is not finished with me.

[Pastor Paul]

My best days are right in front of me.

[Erica Silva]

And I have victory in my life because Jesus lives in me.

[Pastor Paul]

All right, give someone a high five. You may be seated.

[Nick]

I am Nick, and this is my wife Carol. We've been married for almost 30 years. We've been living in Tulsa since 2018. Before that, we were missionaries in Romania for 15 years where with the help of God, we planted two churches and we passed them on to two pastors that are pastoring today.

[Carol]

It was such a big transition, moving from the mission field. And we got to victory. And we were so thankful and amazed at everything God was doing in the church.

[Nick]

We knew when we got here that God is calling us to join victory because we needed victory in our life, in our family, in our children. And it was a place where we were reminded that God is not finished with us yet.

[Carol]

They had to build this house campaign and they had markers where you could write what your parents requests were. So we just wrote that we were believing for a house. So we gave faithfully. God provided the money to give. After two years, we finished and we were just like, God, you're faithful. We just continued to pray for a house.

[Nick]

I knew that this was a miracle house. And I just felt like, you know, again in my heart, God, you are big enough. If this is from you, it will have to be a miracle. And in every area, it will have to just be lining up.

[Carol]

We financially did not have the money for down payment. Our lease had stopped. After we saw this, we just started praying and we're like, God, if you want us to have it, you're going to open the door. And so we started making phone calls to the banks. We got with this wonderful lady at a bank and just miracle that we were able to afford it. The amount that we gave at build this house was over a hundredfold more of what we gave is what the cost of this house was we put God first. And when we put God first, he will take care of our family. And we saw it again and again and again all throughout the years, that if we put him first, he always took care of us.

[Nick]

Keep praying, keep believing, keep showing up, keep giving your tithe, your offering, your time. Doors will open. God will begin to move. Miracles will happen, not in our time, but in God's time. God will do a miracle. Because of our faithfulness, we continue to believe him and trust in him.

[Carol]

Begin to pray that he will give seed to the sower. Then be obedient, because then he will also provide your needs when you're obedient.

[Pastor Paul]

I am Nick and I'm Carol, and this is victory. Come on, give it up for Nick and Carol. Everybody say, this is victory. If you got a Bible, go to Second Corinthians 9. Second Corinthians 9. Yeah, we shout for the first scripture. It's like our first touchdown in the game. And 2nd Corinthians 9 is really a chapter about generosity. As we come into this weekend, my hope and prayer is that your heart would overflow with gratitude towards God. Because gratitude leads to generosity. It leads to this place of trust that God has been so good, so faithful. On my way into church this morning, I was talking to different people out in the lobby and even just running into people on the way to church. And I said, what has God done in your life this year? And that question just started stirring up gratitude. Man, God's been faithful. God turned something around in my marriage. God turned something around in my kids. One guy, he said, man, my granddaughter was starting to become an atheist and questioning God. And this year she got right with God, came back to church, and for Christmas, she's asking for a new Bible. And he said, I never imagined that my granddaughter would ask for a Bible for Christmas. But he said, God's done so many good things. How many on this room know that God has done some good things in your life this year? Maybe it's been in your health, maybe it's been in your finances, maybe it's been in relationships. But, you know, the Bible says every good gift comes from God above. Second Corinthians 9, verse 6 says this. Remember, whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly. Whoever sows generously will also reap generously. Throughout Scripture, generosity is talked about in seed form. In Genesis, it says, as long as the earth remains, there will always be seed. Time and harvest. On your way into church today, you received a seed when you came through the doors. And I think about how, in my own life, seeds have impacted me. Seeds of other people's kindness. I remember when our family went through a house fire. We lost everything. And there were people that gave seeds of their, you know, resources. And they bought clothes for us. And what were they doing? They were sowing seed. Everything we do for others is a seed. Everything you do for the kingdom of God is a seed that produces a harvest. Paul says, whoever sows sparingly reaps sparingly. Whoever sows generously reaps generously. I remember going on a missions trip with my parents when I was like, 9 or 10 years old. We were going to Haiti, and someone had bought me a CD. Y' all remember CDs back in the day? Let's go. This was like the 90s thing. I had a Walkman. I had a CD, my CD player, my headphones. And the CD was Michael W. The First Decade. And there was this song on the CD that was called Seed to Sow. And it started off with this African children's choir singing in their language. And then Michael W. Smith comes on, and he's like, one thing I know. Everybody's got a seed to sow. And I got that song stuck in my head. Everybody's got a seed to sow. I want you to say that with me today. Everybody's got a seed to sow. Yeah, everybody. And the point of the song was that we all have something to sow. The question is, will you sow it or will you hold it? Will you hold your seed out of a place of fear, out of a place of anger, out of a place of resentment? Well, God owes me stuff that he hasn't given me yet. Therefore, I'm not going to give this seed. Or will you sow it? Everybody has a seed to sow. Paul goes on to say in 2nd Corinthians 9, verse 7, each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly and not under compulsion. For God loves a cheerful giver. Friends, I don't want to try to stir up a sense of obligation to give today. What I want to do is present the gospel. And I pray that the gospel would bring a revelation of the power of the seed in your life. I've never met a person who sowed seed into God's kingdom that helped move forward the local church that lived with resentment and anger in their heart. Almost every generous person I've met is a happier person. They're more blessed, they're more peaceful. They Recognize all the good things in their life God has done. Because there is a principle in the earth that seeds bring a harvest. I remember going on a missions trip to Cambodia, and we were out in the fields and we were sharing the gospel and we saw these farmers that were out there, and they were. They were bringing in a harvest of rice, and they had all kinds of different, you know, vegetables that they had planted. It would be crazy to ask that farmer, have you ever reaped a harvest on seeds you've never sown? The truth is, you can't reap a harvest on seeds you've never sown. But there could be kids of farmers who reaped a harvest from their parents seeds. And that's what one of the farmers said. He said, yeah, When I was a little boy, my mom and dad sowed seed that I reaped the harvest on their hard work. And it got me thinking about the room that we meet in every single week. Friends, we're sitting in the harvest of seeds that my mom, Sharon Daugherty, and my dad, who's in heaven, Billy Joe Daugharty, sowed seed for you and I to be here. You're sitting in the harvest of someone else's seed. Can we just give thanks for the people who've gone before us? Mom, stand up. Come on. My mom's on the second row, right here. Stand up just for a moment. How many are thankful for Pastor Sharon Daugherty?

Come on, Mom. I think about the power of the seed. You always taught me at a young age to be a giver and to be a sower and to trust God. I remember when John and I had our lawn mowing business and you would always challenge us. What are you going to give towards God? And it wasn't because you needed our seed or you needed our money. You knew the church was going to move forward whether John and I gave. But you were trying to teach us the principle of generosity, the principle of sowing and reaping. When I sit in this room today and I think about just Camp Victory and the Dream center and the college and the school and this church, y', all, we are debt free. We don't owe a dime to any bank on any loan. There's zero. Like, we're not paying off any debt. That's a miracle. We've been debt free, free since 1985. And, mom, you taught us this. You want to say a word real quick on the power of your seed? That's what we're talking about today, the power of your seed.

[Sharon Daugherty]

Yeah, well, you know, I think about the seeds that we've sown through the years and how God multiplies them back. I remember one year at Word Explosion when we had our conference each year, a lady came up to me and she said, jesus Christ appeared to me this morning in prayer and told me to give you this. And so she handed me this check, and so I said, well, do you want me to give it in the offering? She said, no, it's for you personally. And I thought, whoa. Because I had been involved with a ministry that was a street ministry, reaching young women that were on the streets and they were.

Selling themselves. And so in this ministry, they were trying to bring these young women to the church and also to our Bible college. And so I had worked it out where we could put the young women in an apartment above our Bible college and we could let them go to Bible college in the mornings. But anyway, they needed transportation really bad. I had a van, but I used my van to bring my kids to school each day. And. And I was thinking, one morning the Lord spoke to me and said, give that van to them. And I thought, God, I need my van. But I did. I said, well, okay, I'm going to have it checked out before I give it to them. And so I called the lady, I told her I wanted to give it to them. And so anyway, this lady that walked up to me and handed me this check and said it was for me personally. She said, look at it. And I said, well, okay, because I normally wouldn't look at a check. And so I looked at it, it was for $10,000. And she said, it's to go toward a vehicle for you personally. And so I told her, I said, well, that morning, God told me to give my vehicle away. And so anyway, he provided. And so then we ended up that weekend, there was a man that had come to speak at our church, and he said, I just really feel like I'm supposed to receive an offering for the pastor and his wife. And so they received $10,000. So that caused me to be able to pay cash for a vehicle immediately to supply my own need. It was a miracle.

[Pastor Paul]

You know, I think about how stories like that are all through our church of generosity. Another one just this week that came to me was from the Belen family right here. Mrs. Belen, would you just share what God did in your family last year when y' all got involved in the miracle offering?

[Mrs. Belen]

So last year, we prayed and we doubled what we wanted to give, and God actually provided 10 times the amount with an unexpected check from the IRS and an unexpected inheritance as well. So God was faithful, and not just with.

Your finances, but all areas physically. I got in an accident over the summer and three of the veins in my legs were blocked, as well as clots in my lungs. And I just came back from the doctor a couple weeks ago and he said the clots won't go away, but the report shows that two of your veins are open and the third one's partially opened. So praise God. We're waiting for the complete healing.

My husband also had triple bypass surgery and a carotid surgery almost two years ago, and his doctor cleared him with the carotid surgery follow up and said, I don't need to see you for two years. God's so good.

[Pastor Paul]

Come on. You might have heard Pastor Terry Hinshaw's message this summer about what Victory does on a constant basis. But I asked Pastor Terry to just come this morning and share a quick minute on how Victory is touching nations and has been touching nations since 1981. Victory is in nations all over the earth. I think the only continent we haven't touched is Antarctica, but we're gonna go there someday. But, you know, I think about how Bulgaria is one of many countries victory impacts on a regular basis through our mission, through our compassion, through our generosity. Pastor Terry, just tell them a little bit on your heart about this.

[Pastor Terry Hinshaw]

You know, Pastor Paul, I went on a short term mission trip with Pastor Billy Joe and Victory and Sharon. And God had called him to go to Russia for 18 months to give a week out of their schedule. When the. When the door had opened there, we just went on a short term trip. And while we were there, the Lord told us that we were to stay and help coordinate the ministry and the miracles that we walk through. Pastor Paul, I mean, we were completely out of money at that point, but yet we obeyed God because we had learned the faithfulness of God by just simply saying yes. If you just say yes to whatever he asks you to do. And I'm so grateful for this miracle offering day today as well, because, you know, we're giving and we're sowing, but what it really is, it affects each one of us individually because what miracle do you need today? What has God called you to do? Because he'll provide every step of the way. And Pastor Paul, I'm so grateful for this church and for their generosity and reaching people literally around the world and in our country and in our state and in our city and the miracles that continually happen through this Church and something I don't even know that you're aware of. But through Victory's generosity that now the public schools, we're in 75 schools right now.

Across Oklahoma creating resource rooms. Brand new clothes, brand new shoes, school supplies, winter coats, especially for homeless high school kids. I didn't even know that was an issue. But there are thousands of homeless high school kids that live in their car, that live on people's sofas, that don't have a home to go back to, but they want to stay in school. They're showering in the school bathrooms. So we're providing these resource rooms as Victory to be able to make sure every child has what they need to stay in school. We'll be over 100 here before Christmas. It just keeps blowing up. And the things that God is doing here in the ministry through each one of you. But I want to challenge you through this miracle offering. What is it that you need? Because God is here. That whatever you're believing for, whatever you release your faith for, God will meet it. But see, your generosity is connected to your destiny. And Pastor Paul, let me just read this real quick.

When I was flying back from Bolivia on a mission trip, that pastor had done a crusade there, the Lord gave me this word about giving. And he said, the measure of your return is always determined by the magnitude of your sowing. Now understand that the measure of your return is always determined by the magnitude of your sowing. God does not determine that measure. You do.

You must cooperate with the principles in God's word in order to get to the level of abundance you desire. You will never get to that level if you are afraid to let go because you are working against God's principles. If you want the abundance you desire, you must determine to take your time giving to another level. So what it boils down to is this. Do you really believe that God would honor his word? The measure of your return is always determined by the magnitude of your sowing. Your giving triggers the release of God's abundance back to you.

Telling you there's an anointing in the presence of God here today forever to meet every need. Whatever you're going through, the spirit of God is here. And through your generosity and through your giving and through your love and obedience to God, your future is bright and your best days are still ahead. Praise God.

[Pastor Paul]

Come on, give Pastor Terry a big hand.

I want to show you just a quick video of some of the stories of people you impacted this year. Check this out.

When my family was in need, your giving impacted Us. When my car needed repair, your giving impacted me.

[Erica Silva]

When I needed groceries, your giving impacted me.

[Pastor Paul]

When I came out of John 3:16, your giving impacted me. When I was fundraising for missions, your giving impacted me. I was in an accident, and your giving impacted me.

[Sharon Daugherty]

I was able to serve at an outreach in New York City with Victory. Your giving impact.

[Pastor Paul]

When I needed community, your giving impacted me.

[Erica Silva]

When I was in the hospital, Victory. Your giving, your love, your support, your prayers, your compassion impacted me.

[Pastor Paul]

Come on, Victory. Thank you for being part of the miracle. You know, when the SNAP benefits ran out, Victory was one of the first churches to show up and give food to so many families and people that were in need. I can't tell you how many people I've met who said, thank you for giving us groceries this year, y'. All. Because of your generosity, we were able to give away 1,300,000 meals away in the last 11 months. And we're still counting. Still counting. When I think about just the giving that goes out of this church on a regular basis, I want to throw up some of the stats of this year that we're just going to throw up on this screen. Think about Victory. The Tulsa Dream Center. Here we go. Tulsa Dream Center. 1,300,000 meals given away. 6,000 volunteers. Go to the next one. We're going to go through this quickly. Local reach. This year, we impacted 26,000 people through your generosity. Meals given away. Right? We went to San Angelo, Texas, right after all the floods and the amount of pain that hit that area. We were able to minister to 5,000 homes. During that time, we went to multiple different outreaches. Go to the next one, guys. Prison ministry. This was a huge area that we impacted. This year. 2,500 prison inmates gave their hearts to Jesus. Four prisoners got healed. This year, we had multiple prisoners getting baptized. One prisoner came up to me and he goes, pastor Paul. Pastor Paul. He was a man probably in his late 60s. He goes, I found Jesus in prison. He's like, I found Jesus in prison. I said, for real? He said, I want you to sign my Bible. He opens up his Bible, and it had my dad's name in it on the side. He said, your dad gave me this Bible in 1997. He said, I've been serving here now for 34 years in prison. He said, I still got 40 more years to go. And he said, brother, I'm gonna die here. But he said, I'm gonna die with joy and gratitude because I found Jesus in prison. He said, I got a purpose. I'm gonna share Jesus with as many prisoners as possible. He said, I'm a changed man, brother. He said, I did some bad things before I got in here. He said, and once I got in here, God got a hold of of me. He said, I've been wanting to thank your dad ever since he gave me this Bible. When I found out he died in 2009, I was so sad. He said, I wept like he was my own dad. Because your dad reached me, brother. Your dad reached me. But when I found out you were coming with your church back to the prison, he said, I gotta thank his son. I gotta tell his son that his dad saved me. I said, brother, my dad didn't save you. Jesus saved you. He said, yes, bro, I found Jesus in prison. I said, I found Jesus in prison. Said, what are you talking about? I said, jesus said, In Matthew 25, I was in prison and you visited me. I said, what if you're Jesus? He said, brother, I'm not Jesus. I said, but what if you are? He said, no, no, no, I'm not Jesus. He said, I found Jesus in prison. I said, and I found Jesus in prison. He said, all right, cut it out, brother. All right, let's keep going. That's him right there. Global reach. This year, we supported 56 missionaries around the world. 826 people reach. 295,000, 988 salvations.

[Worship Leader]

What?

[Daniel]

Come on.

[Pastor Paul]

4,000 healings. What are you talking about?

[Worship Leader]

Y', all.

[Pastor Paul]

Y', all, these stats just go on and on. It's just amazing what God has done. God has reached so many people, and all those numbers are individual people. You need to recognize, man, you just like you're an individual. Every number on that slide is an individual. It's a girl, it's a guy, it's a mom, it's a dad, It's a single parent. It's someone that was impacted because of your generosity. When you give, even if it's a dollar, even if it's a penny, if it's $5, it goes directly towards helping people. I want to show you real quickly a video, too, of what God did through your generosity. Again, it just reminds us of the impact in 2025 Chapter Sam.

[Worship Leader]

Sa.

[Pastor Paul]

And tonight, God wants to save. He wants to heal your mind.

[Worship Leader]

Thank you, Victory.

[Pastor Paul]

We thank you, Victory. Thank you so much. Thank you so much, Victory.

They need help. They need life. And we're bringing it to him because of your generosity, because of your belief in this. So let's keep reaching our state. Let's keep Reaching the world. The harvest is ripe. The laborers are few. Let's go bring in the harvest.

[Worship Leader]

See that the grave is empty. Do you know what I know?

[Pastor Paul]

Just because you aren't where you want to be, don't miss the moment. This is holy ground right here. Not back then, and not someday soon, but right here.

When something feels unsettling on the inside of me. If I would invite God into the unsettling, that he would show me areas.

[Worship Leader]

In my life that he wants to do something fresh.

We are risen with him. Paradise.

[Pastor Paul]

Come on. Victory. Give God praise. Take five seconds. Come on, let's just praise God. He did it. He did it. This year he helped us as a church, church minister to more people, give more money away to help more people locally and globally. This was a record breaking year. To God be the glory. Lord, we thank you. We praise you. God, we thank you for your mercy. God, we thank you for your goodness. Thank you for your faithfulness.

Just two months ago, this guy comes up to, to me and he says, I saw you in the bar. I said, what? He said, I saw you in the bar at midnight. I said, what are you talking about? I don't go to the bar. He said, no, I saw you there, brother. I said, it wasn't me. Someone looks like me, it wasn't me. He said, no. He said, I was in the bar. He said, I was getting hammered and there you were. I said, no, no, that wasn't me. He said, brother, it was you. I said, stop, that wasn't me. He said, you came on the TV screen in that bar. And the bartender turned the volume up so all of us drunk guys at the bar and girls. He said, I was with a girl. He said, I was trying to, you know. He said, I was sitting at the bar with this girl. He said, brother, when you started preaching, she turned it up. The bartender, she turned you up on that tv. He said, I gave my heart to Jesus at the bar because you were. Come on. I found Jesus in prison. I found Jesus at the bar. Wherever you find Jesus, just as long as you find that's where we need to be. You know, we started going on at midnight on TV. We started looking for opportunities just to buy 30 minute slots on ABC, NBC, CBS, Fox, whatever channel we could, you know, one day I think we'll be on mtv, bet, all the channels, whatever the T's are, we're gonna get on there. Tnt. But we wanted to get on at midnight because I started thinking, how many people at midnight are, are walking through loneliness, despair, Fighting addictions, fighting insomnia, fighting feelings of sadness, walking through divorce, pain, walking through all kinds of just heartache, heartbreak. And that they could find Jesus at midnight. And so they've been showing us on in bars. They've been showing victory in hospital rooms, ER rooms. People said, I got saved sitting in the St. Francis ER. They had you on at midnight. They didn't mean to have you on. They had Jimmy Kimmel on. And then you came on, let's go. And then victory starts. And they said, I was walking through so much fear in that ER room over what was going on in my family and one of my relatives that was there. And they said, I felt such a peace because victory was on at midnight. Y', all, there's so many avenues of your impact, whether it's the Dream center or TV or missions or missionaries or whether it is online. The reach is so strong. But everything we do is a seed in Scripture. There was a woman who brought her alabaster jar of perfume. It was. It was all she had. It was very expensive. It was costly. David said in the Bible, I will not give an offering that doesn't cost me something. Somebody tried to make David, like, make it easy for David. They're like, hey, we got something you can give. It's gonna be fine. You don't have to do anything. David said, I refuse to do what's easy and comfortable or let someone else pay for my offer. And he said, I'm gonna give something that cost me something. I'm gonna sacrifice. David sacrificed for his son and for the next generation. He said, I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of the Lord than dwell in the tents of the wicked. David was a man of many mistakes, but he was a man after God's own heart. The woman brought the alabaster jar. People knew who she was. She wasn't a woman that had a perfect past or a perfect track record. Here's the good news. Jesus, he loves all of us. And he can redeem any of us. And none of us are too far gone or too messed up or too broken or too dis. Dysfunctional for him to do something powerful in our lives. And listen, today is an opportunity for us to come and be a part of what he's doing. And Jesus talked about this woman's offering. It's not just a perfume bottle. It's a seed. When I look at scripture, it wasn't just a lunchbox that the boy gave to feed the thousands. It was a seed. It wasn't just the widow's might. It was a seed. It's not just a meal. It's a seed. It's not just a backpack. It's a seed. It's not just a playground. It's a seed. It's not just a turkey at Thanksgiving. It's a seed. It's not just a Bible we give in the prisons. It's a seed. It's not just a toy we give at Christmas. It's a seed. It's not just a coat we give in the winter. It's a seed. It's not just a tithe you give in church. It's a seed. It's not just an offering. It's a seed. It's not just a Christmas production next week. It's a seed. It's not just an alabaster jar of perfume. It's a seed. It was. It wasn't just a death on a cross. It was a seed. It wasn't just an outpouring in an upper room on Pentecost. It was a seed. It's a seed. And there's power in the seed. Jesus said, unless the seed goes into the ground, there is no harvest. There is no harvest without a seed. I think about the story of the boy that gave his five loaves and two fish. I want to just end today on John, chapter six, it says Jesus crossed over to the Sea of Galilee and a great crowd of people followed him because they saw the miracles he performed. They saw him healing the sick. They saw him intervening in people's stories. Today, I believe Jesus wants to intervene in your story, in your life. And at every row, behind every seat, there's offering envelopes. I'm gonna ask you to take one. Whether you plan to give or not. It's fine. You don't have to give today, but I want you to take one because I want you to write something in it. There's lines up here on this envelope, and it says prayer request and praise reports. I want you to write down something you're praying for, something you need in your life. There's pins behind the chairs. But even if you plan to give digitally or give on text or give online, I want you to take this envelope and I want you to write down, what are you praying for? What are you believing for? Maybe you're in the room today and you say, man, I'm just praying for healing in my marriage. I'm just praying that, like, there will be healing in my family. I'm praying for reconciliation with my daughter. I'm praying for healing with my son. Maybe you're praying right now for your dad to be healed of cancer. He can do it. He can do it. Maybe you're praying for your business to turn around. Maybe you're praying for a car. You're here today and you go, man, I walk everywhere, bro. I get rides everywhere. I don't have my own car. If I had my own car, I would be a bigger blessing. Would be a bigger blessing. I could give people rides to church. God told Abraham, count the stars. Count the stars, Abraham. In other words, dream big. Because oftentimes we're dreaming what we can accomplish in our own strength, what we can do in our own bank account. God was telling Abraham, you're asking for one kid. I want you to believe for nations. I want you to believe for greater Abraham. And God told Abraham, I will be the blesser in your life, and I will bless you to be a blessing to all nations of the earth. I will be your provider. Eventually, God fulfilled that promise for Abraham. But today I want you to write down, what are those dreams? What are those prayers? What are those needs? These people came to Jesus and they all had a need.

And Jesus goes up on a mountainside and he sits down with his disciples. And the Jewish Passover festival was near. And Jesus looks up and he says, sees a great crowd. And anytime Jesus saw a crowd, he saw individuals. He didn't just see a mass of faces. He saw people. He saw sons and daughters, mothers and fathers, single parent moms, single parent dads. He saw grandparents. He saw people that were in need of help and compassion. And Jesus looks over at his disciples, he says, where are we going to buy bread for these people to eat? Now, he asked this question to Philip only to test him. Because he already knew in his heart what he was going to do. He wanted to see if his disciples would be willing to sow into this miracle harvest that he wanted to bring for people. He wanted to see if they were willing to participate. And so Philip looks at Jesus and he's like, Jesus, it would take more than half a year's wages to buy enough bread for each one to have a bite. Look at those words right there. To have a bite. Every say a bite. Now, Philip was focused on a bite. Jesus was focused on a buffet. Philip was limiting what God can do. You can never out give God like you give something. God's always going to multiply. Let me tell you something about God math. You've heard of girl math. Let me tell you about God math for a second. Let's throw up God Math. Let me define God math for you for a second. If we have it. If we don't, let me just. I'll share it to you. I got it. My notes. Here we go. God math. You ready for it? Heaven's formula for supernatural results. When God takes what you have and he brings it to a whole nother level. One can put a thousand to flight, but two can put 10,000 to flight. This is God math. Five loaves and two fishes. You know, in Philip's mind, he's like, I'm just looking to give people a bite. Jesus is like, I want to give people the golden corral. I want to give people the buffalo buffet. Come on. I want to give people more than what they came for. And so Philip was limiting what God can do. He said it would take more than half a year's wages. And then Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, comes up. Go to verse nine. And he. He says, jesus, look, I found a young boy who has five loaves and two fish. Five barley loaves and two fish. But how far will they go? How far can my sister seed go? Isn't that an interesting question? How far can this little boy's seed go? He opened up his heart. I want to give you just a couple principles from this story before we give today because I really think the miracle offering is connected in this story today. Seven quick lessons on God's miracle. Provision number one. The miracle always begins with what you have. The miracle always begins with what you have. The miracle is already in your hands. You have something that is going to connect to what God wants to do. Oftentimes, miracles are motion activated in scripture, like as you begin to move towards what God is promising in your future. It always begins. One little boy, open the door. Number two. God uses people that others don't count. God used a little boy that was overlooked by moms and dads, by Pharisees, by religious leaders. They weren't looking at the kids. Like, what kid is going to provide for Thousands of people? 5,000 men, not counting all the women and children. Simon Peter is like, look, this little boy has something. But who is he? Right? He didn't even count him. Number three. The best miracles take time. Watch what Jesus does in this passage. Jesus says, have everybody sit down. There was plenty of grass in this place. And they sat down. About 5,000 men were there, not counting women and children. Jesus took the loaves and he gave thanks. So this is. This is a. It didn't happen immediately. It wasn't a microwave miracle. It was going to Take time. You got to let them cook. Somebody say, let them cook. So Jesus starts cooking, right? He gives thanks, and all of a sudden he begins to distribute to those who were seated. 5,000 men, 5,000 women, children, right? Like the crowd we have today, times five. This field is filled with miracles. When they all had enough to eat, he said to his disciples, gather the pieces. Let me go back to the seven points. The best miracles take time. Number four. We gotta learn to be grateful even when what we have is not enough. What's holding you back from sowing your seed? Is it the fear of, I don't have enough, therefore I can't give anything. I can't give my time. I'm not going to give any words of encouragement. I'm not going to volunteer at the Dream center, not going to serve. I'm telling you, we've got to learn to be great, grateful even when we feel like we don't have enough. Because that's where the miracle begins. Number five. You'll never get the multiplication as long as you're ungrateful. Gratitude stirs up generosity, and generosity brings multiplication number six. The blessing is in the breaking. The blessing is in the breaking. You can't be blessed until you're broken. Something I've learned in my own life is the more broken I am before God, the more he begins to bless my life, the more put together I am, the more like try to perfect. I try to be and have it all together and try to not cry. Those who sow in tears reap a harvest of joy. There's something about vulnerable, I am broken. I am a mess. And God goes, yes, now I can make a masterpiece. Bring your broken pieces. Bring your broken pieces. The seventh point. Point is, the more he broke it, the more it multiplied. Now, some people believe, there are some scholars who believe that when this little boy gave his five loaves and two fish, the scripture doesn't show how Jesus multiplied it to feed 18,000 plus people? All it says that there was more than enough. And then there was 12 baskets left over. Some people believe that when the little boy gave, there were moms and dads, college students, older people that looked at the little boy's generosity and they were hiding their own food inside their robes, hiding what they brought out of fear, out of grief, out of frustration, out of resentment, out of a you owe me mentality. You owe me God. You've. You've robbed me. And there was something there that when they saw the little boy being generous, sharing his whole meal, that they open in Their robes, and they started sharing their bread, and then there was more bread, and then people started sharing their fish and there was more fish, and it was like Red Lobster. It was just more than enough. Even the cheesy bread people had more than enough. Everybody say more than enough.

However God did it, whether it rained down from heaven or whether it just magically appeared in front of people, there was more than enough. 12 baskets left over. Today, I'm asking you to trust in the. The God of more than enough. Jehovah Jireh, your provider. I'm asking you to stretch your faith. If you've never given in an offering before, what if today was your first time? If you've given in the past and you go, yeah, I try to give, like, once whenever I feel like it, when it's easy, when it's convenient, when it's comfortable, when I have enough to give. What if today you move to a place of consistent generosity and trust in the Lord who will provide, in the Lord who, who will provide. Now, there's lots of different ways you could be a part of this, but in this moment, I'm going to ask you to bring the envelope that you wrote on the dreams, the prayers, even if you're not giving in it, even if you're going to give in a different way, that you would bring it to this altar, and our band's going to play, and then out of this moment, we're going to worship God. But, Daniel, I want you to come up here real quick because there are some people who might want to do something different this year. You were talking to a family that said, can we give in a different, unique way?

[Daniel]

Yeah. You know, some of you in the room, room, you might be thinking, okay, I can give something of a cash value through your earnings through this year. But just to expand the thinking a little bit, this family that pastor was talking about, they said, you know, we're so just blown away and inspired by the outreach that Victory does locally and globally in communities around the world. And they said, you know, after hearing all the outreach here in a service, they went back with their estate planner and they said, we want to leave a gift in our will and our inheritance and our trust that helps continue what Victory does long beyond just our time here and really, a legacy gift. And so there's a QR code on the screen. And if you're here today and you say, man, I'd love to give something. And this might be in a bucket of non traditional giving, maybe a stock, a bond, something you say, man, it's appraised a lot. And by the end of the year, if I sell it, I'm going to take a capital gain tax on it or anything like that. You know, Pastor was talking about even the alabaster jar that woman brought, that was a commodity that she had in her hands. And a lot of scholars say maybe that was worth about a year's worth of wages and she brought that commodity. And so maybe there's something that's a commodity, a land that you have and you don't know what you want to do with it. And that's a great seed. Maybe it's a vehicle or some other type of gift. If you scan that QR code, we'd love to help you make that here before the year end and just expand what that gift could look like. This miracle offering weekend.

[Pastor Paul]

Awesome. You know, I see a day where Victory one day is not only going to be reaching what we did this last year. I see a day where we take over this old hotel right in front of Walmart and we flip that into a place to minister to more people, raise up up more Bible college students. I see a day where we take Utica park clinic building over here, we turn it into an elementary building for the school to keep. I see a day where we have a South Tulsa Dream center on the back of our property helping the apartment complexes and those that live on Peoria between 41st and 61st. I see a day where we have an East Dream Center. I see a day where we're planting more churches. I see a day where victory. I'm telling you, when faith meets opportunity, anything can happen. And so this morning, let's get our hearts ready for what God wants to do. God has a dream for you. God has things that he wants to do in your life. And this morning as we get ready to give, Lord, I pray that we would give from a place of trust, a place of worship, a place of gratitude. I pray God, that today as we sow our seed and we trust in you and even hear people that are here today that say, I can't give anything, but I really just want to give my prayer praise to God. I want to give my thanks to God. I pray that today would be a day that people encounter your presence, Lord, that we truly do put our hope and our faith in you above all else and God, I pray, Lord, this Christmas season would be a season of miracles in Jesus name. Amen. Let's worship and feel free to leave your seat, bring the envelope down to the stage and Then if you can stay in the room because we're going to do a special prayer for people that are praying for miracles today. If you want to just lay it on the floor or on the stage or anywhere down here and then head back to your seat. We'll dismiss in just a little bit after we pray for miracles today. Let's worship the Lord.

I want to pray for people right now that need a miracle this month. Maybe you're in a desperate situation. Maybe it is in your health. Maybe you've been battling a sickness or disease. Maybe you're like Erica, you got a diagnosis that you just go, I need God to show up. I need a but God moment to turn this thing around. Maybe it's your marriage, maybe it's your family, maybe it's a relationship with someone maybe here today. And you just say, paul, I. I've been told that I could never get pregnant. And I'm praying that one day I can have children. If that's you, I want to pray for you. Whatever the miracle is, maybe here today. And you say, paul, I just need help financially. I'm in a desperate season financially, where I need God to provide and show up. This is a day of miracles. I really believe this is a month of miracles. And so if you'll stretch your faith, if you're here right now, you need a miracle in that way, I want you to just raise your hand all across this room. And here's what I'm asking to do. Take a step of faith. Would you leave your seat? Come and meet me at this altar. Even if we fill up this altar again, this is a great weekend to just fill up the altar with faith. And so if you need a miracle, I want you to just come back down to the altar. I know you've already walked down here. You're getting your workout today, you're getting your walking steps in. But I want members, church members, to come and stand beside every man, every woman that needs a miracle so no one's standing alone. And we're just gonna have each other's backs this morning. We're gonna pray for breakthrough. We're gonna pray that God is gonna provide for you. Just like you heard the testimony of my mom. She gave her van away and, and somehow God showed up randomly and helped her get another car. Some of you have been praying for transportation. You've been praying for a house, you've been praying for tuition. You've been praying for help in many different ways. And this month I really sense it. There are people in the church that God is gonna move in and move through that are gonna be a part of the miracle. In your story, I believe God's gonna provide. Your employer is not your provider. Even the church is not your provider. Jehovah Jireh is your provider. God's gonna do it. He's your miracle worker. I can't do it. No person in this church but God can do it. Everybody say God can do it. So Lord, I just pray right now. Let's just begin to worship. Let's pray for miracles. If you're down here waiting for a miracle, praying for that, I want you to just raise your hands and let's just sing that song. This is a house of miracles Go ahead.

Let's just pray right, right now.

In the name of Jesus this is a house of miracles God, you know what they need so Lord I pray God for miracles Breakthrough in Jesus name Healing in Jesus name provision.

[Pastor Paul]

Lord, I trust in you, God, nothing is impossible, Lord.

God, I just pray right now for every situation represented here on this stage and in this altar. God, you see every prayer, every dream. God, every need. God, I thank you, Lord, that you're healing someone of anxiety. I thank you, God, you're healing someone of fear and depression. God, I thank you, Lord, that today people are leaving, God, without fear and they're leaving with faith. God, that they're leaving without depression. They're leaving with hope today. I thank you, God, that you fill our hearts with your word and your presence. God, our hope is in you. Our trust is in you.

There was a young man who came to me this summer, and he might be in the room today, but he came to me and he said, pastor Paul, I gotta get baptized right now. I said, we don't have any tanks ready. He said, I'll do it anywhere. He said, I just gotta get baptized. I gotta get right with God. This is. This was a year of, like, opportunity in the moment. This is 2025 was one of those years where it was like. Like, people were like. Especially in September after everything happened. That was kind of globally on the news and stuff. There were so many people that ran to church in September, and so many people in, like, throughout the year, moments where people are just like, I got to get right with God. I got to surrender. I got to obey. God's calling me to do some stuff. This man, he said, I got to get baptized. So we went across the street to the fountains in front of Oru, and I baptized him in the water. And he made a public declaration. I don't know if he's here today. There he is right there. Come on, mighty man of God.

You were one of my favorite stories in 2025. But I believe that just like he made that decision in that moment, I gotta do it right now. I believe God is stirring so many of us right now at the end of this year. There's things we need to lay down, down. There's things we need to surrender. There's things we need to get right with God right now. And I loved the urgency in his heart. We had another story like this just three weeks ago. A young veteran that was in town. And he said, he said, I'm only in town for a little bit. And he said, I gotta get right. Or he was in the military. And it was the week of Veterans Week where we remembered and thanked all of our veterans. And he said, I gotta get right with God. I gotta get baptized. And we had three veterans in our church that showed up on the spot within 30 minutes and baptized him. We filled a tank with water on a Monday afternoon, baptized him. Had another guy just this last week who's in our church, former NBA player and a former NBA coach for the Minnesota Timberwolves. He said, bro, this has been a year of restoration, a year of redemption. He said, I got to get baptized. Can you do it for me? I said, yeah, let's do it. He showed up here on Tuesday, this last week. We filled up a tank at 10:45 in the morning. He sent a text out to whoever he could and they. There was about 10 people that showed up. And we just stood around the tank celebrating and thanking God for the restoration story that happened in my friend's life. But I just tell you this is a year. I'm telling you, don't let the year end without asking. Acting on that thing in your heart where you're going, man, I feel like this is a year I'm supposed to surrender. Some things finish this year in worship. Let's just pray this prayer right now. Just say, jesus, I trust in you. You are my healer, my provider, my good shepherd. You died on the cross for my sins. I repent, I receive your forgiveness. I need you God, and I surrender. Thank you Jesus that you rose from the grave and you're giving me resurrection life. I believe that I am healed in Jesus name. I believe that the miracles I need are already on the way. In Jesus name, God, I'm trusting in you, leaning not to my own understanding and I'm all yours. Have your way in Jesus name, Amen and amen.
