SID: So Kynan Bridges had no chance. I mean, he was told that he’ll never get out of the second grade. What made the difference, Kynan?
KYNAN: You know, I had a praying mother, but I also had a mother who read the Bible. And one of the things that revolutionized my life was a simple, ancient, biblical principle called meditation. Let me explain what that means. The Bible says in Psalms, the first chapter, which is the first chapter I ever memorized in the Bible, it says, “Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, but stands in the way of sinners, nor sit in the seat of the scornful, but is delighted in God’s law,” His Torah. In in His law, as you meditate day and night, he’ll be like a tree planted by the riverbank. So I began to meditate in the Bible. And people don’t believe me when I tell them this, but God literally gave me supernatural intelligence. All of a sudden, through meditating the scriptures, that the Hebrew word, “haggah”, it means to speak out loud, it means to mutter, it means to moan. I would take my Bible, I would walk around my house and I would begin to quote the scriptures, speak them over myself, over my mind: “I’m a blessed man.” All of a sudden, I can understand math, I can understand English, I can understand reading and science. And God took me from being, spending more time in in-school suspension than in the classroom, having more behavioral problems than you would believe, to not only graduating high school, which they thought I would never do, to getting a scholarship to college. And now the thing, I’m actually working on toward my doctorate degree, and it’s amazing thing. That only happens through the power of God’s Word.
SID: You told me you used to go around wherever you would go with a Bible and speak it out loud. Did you really do that?
KYNAN: I was crazy, Sid. I had nothing to lose. I might as well speak God’s Word. Now this is so important to understand. God’s Word has creative power. Now what I didn’t know then as a teenager was that the favor of God is actually released through the words that we speak. The Bible says that, “a word fitly spoken are like apples of gold and pictures of silver”. In other words, when we speak God’s Word over our life, we set things in motion. We align our lives with God’s heavenly agenda. I call it heavenly alignment, and coincidently it begins in our mouth. And when we learn to say what Heaven is saying, our life begins to look how Heaven wants it to look. And that’s what happened to me.
SID: Now when you teach this, that’s what happened to Keenan. That’s wonderful for Keenan. But he said, according to the Word of God, that God is not a respecter of persons. What God did for Keenan, He wants to even do more for you. Tell me about the musician that heard your teaching and what happened to him.
KYNAN: So there was a guy, he was a musician by trade, but he wasn’t really doing well, Sid. Having problems in his family, problems in his relationships, couldn’t find work, nothing was happening. Well he got a hold of this teaching and he began to declare the promises of God over his life, over his family. And this is what happened. As he declared of promises of God over his family, all of a sudden, a record label calls him and says, “Where have you been?” He says, “I’ve been right here.” They said, “We heard some of your music. We want to offer you a record deal.” And guess what? “Tell us what you want. We’ll do it for you.” And here it is out of the blue something begins to happen in his life and we’re seeing this all the time. There was another lady that was a part of our ministry. Her son couldn’t find work. He couldn’t even get a job. He had a criminal record. And all of a sudden, she was so desperate, she says, “God, I have to do something.” She gets a hold of favor and she begins to declare favor over her life. And she says, in my family, she grabbed her husband’s and her son’s hand, and they prayed in the living room, she says, “We are blessed with Abraham. Abraham was our father and we are the children of Abraham.” Guess what happens?
SID: What?
KYNAN: The same day, the son gets a job for the first time in months. He passes a background check supernaturally. The court case he had about six months later, the judge looks at him in the courtroom and he says, “Something different about you.” He says, “Are you tired of seeing me, son?” He says, “Yeah.” And the judge throws out his case. Had no jail time at all. And that’s the power of the favor of God.
SID: Tell me, you know what it’s like to walk in favor and you know what it’s like to walk when you just got married.
KYNAN: Oh my goodness.
SID: Briefly, what happened?
KYNAN: So we’re coming back from the honeymoon. We’re smiling, our faces are shining. And we get home and I found out I lost my job. And I wish that was a temporary thing, but it actually got from bad to worse. We ended up losing the place we were living in. We lost our car and now we’re living in this little apartment, no doors. And I’m saying, God, there has to be more than this. I’m frustrated. And all of a sudden, God begins to deal with my heart and He spoke to me almost in an audible voice out of Jeremiah 29:11. I’m walking outside, I’m looking at the stars. He says, “I know the plans I have for you, plans of good and not of evil.” I’m saying, “God, but this is pretty evil to me.” God says, “No, I know the plans I have for you, plans to prosper you.” And guess what God did, Sid?
SID: What?
KYNAN: And I think he meant this for someone else. He started telling me to give. I’m thinking, maybe that’s for my neighbor.
SID: I’ll tell you what. Hold that thought. But when we come back I’m going to have Kynan tell you what happened to him, but even more important, I’m going to have him pray a supernatural proclamation over you that will rattle every cell in your body and you are going to start your walk into God’s supernatural, not natural, not charisma, supernatural favor when we get back.
