One Sunday, 57 00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:51,079 Speaker 4: the pastor talked about the importance of being a giver. Afterwards, 58 00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:53,840 Speaker 4: the song leader got up and led the song Jesus 59 00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:57,320 Speaker 4: paid it all. The next week, the pastor talked about 60 00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:00,320 Speaker 4: not gossiping and watching your tongue. The song leader god 61 00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:03,720 Speaker 4: up in lad, I love to tell the story. Another week, 62 00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:07,200 Speaker 4: he talked about being willing to change. The songleader got 63 00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:10,640 Speaker 4: up and lad, I shall not be moved. The pastor 64 00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:14,919 Speaker 4: was so frustrated he resigned told the congregation, Jesus brought 65 00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:17,959 Speaker 4: me here, and Jesus has taken me away. The song 66 00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:21,320 Speaker 4: leader then led, what a friend we have in Jesus. 67 00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:24,960 Speaker 4: Say it like you mean it. This is my Bible. 68 00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:27,760 Speaker 4: I am what it says I am. I have what 69 00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:30,320 Speaker 4: it says I have. I can do what it says 70 00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:33,160 Speaker 4: I can do. Today I will be taught the word 71 00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:37,480 Speaker 4: of God. I boldly confess my mind is alert, my 72 00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:42,200 Speaker 4: heart is receptive. I will never be the same. In Jesus' name, 73 00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:45,960 Speaker 4: God bless you. I want to talk to you today 74 00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:51,040 Speaker 4: about the secret to solving problems. We all face challenges 75 00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:54,360 Speaker 4: and things we're believing will turn around. A child that's 76 00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:57,960 Speaker 4: off course, a sickness, we're dealing with, a dream that 77 00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:04,320 Speaker 4: seems impossible. Been praying, believing, but nothing is changing. Sometimes 78 00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:08,520 Speaker 4: God won't allow you to solve your own problem. The 79 00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:13,000 Speaker 4: secret is you have to help someone else solve their problem. 80 00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:16,599 Speaker 4: You have to take the focus off yourself and be 81 00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:20,200 Speaker 4: good to others in your time of need. As you 82 00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:23,440 Speaker 4: sow that seed, that's what's going to bring the harvest 83 00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:26,480 Speaker 4: that you're waiting for. But you'll be tempted to think 84 00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:30,159 Speaker 4: I can't help them Joel have my own problems. I 85 00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:32,919 Speaker 4: need to spend my energy to try to fix my situation. 86 00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:36,839 Speaker 4: But if you'll take your hands off of your problem 87 00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:40,400 Speaker 4: and be good to someone else, God will put his 88 00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:44,200 Speaker 4: hands on your problem and make things happen that you 89 00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:48,799 Speaker 4: couldn't make happen. While you're working on their situation, God 90 00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:52,800 Speaker 4: is working on your situation. A friend of mine struggled 91 00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:56,039 Speaker 4: for many years with his teenage son. It was like 92 00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:59,280 Speaker 4: they were on different wavelengths. He tried his best to 93 00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:04,560 Speaker 4: be loving, kind, understanding, they just didn't get along. Invariably 94 00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:08,640 Speaker 4: end up in an argument. Everything was so contentious. He 95 00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:12,279 Speaker 4: had prayed about it quoted scripture, asked God to help him, 96 00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:15,599 Speaker 4: but nothing was getting better. He was the coach of 97 00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:18,680 Speaker 4: the neighborhood baseball team. There was a young man on 98 00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:22,520 Speaker 4: his team that came from a single parent family. He 99 00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:26,360 Speaker 4: wasn't doing good in his schoolwork. When this father learned that, 100 00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:30,359 Speaker 4: he took that young man under his wing. He started 101 00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:33,960 Speaker 4: bringing him home from baseball practice with his son and 102 00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:37,400 Speaker 4: he would help him do his homework. He tutored him, 103 00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:41,640 Speaker 4: mentored him, became a father figure in his life. That 104 00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:45,240 Speaker 4: young man looked up to him, admired him in a 105 00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:49,960 Speaker 4: great way. About six months after this father started doing that, 106 00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:54,920 Speaker 4: his relationship with his own son began to improve. They 107 00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:59,479 Speaker 4: got closer, started doing things together. Today they're the best 108 00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:03,400 Speaker 4: of friends. You can't keep them apart. The secret to 109 00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:08,960 Speaker 4: solving his problem wasn't in praying more, wasn't in working harder. 110 00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:13,640 Speaker 4: It was in helping someone else solve their problem. The 111 00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:18,240 Speaker 4: scripture says, when Job prayed for his friends, his healing 112 00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:22,240 Speaker 4: quickly came. Don't you know how many times Job prayed 113 00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:27,000 Speaker 4: for himself when he wasn't feeling well. God, please restore 114 00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:30,479 Speaker 4: health back into me. God, please free me from this pain. 115 00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:34,920 Speaker 4: And that's good. That's releasing your faith. I'm simply saying, 116 00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:39,960 Speaker 4: don't stop there, because there are times your breakthrough is 117 00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:44,960 Speaker 4: connected to helping someone else get their breakthrough. Now, maybe 118 00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:49,520 Speaker 4: you've been praying diligently, standing in faith so strong, but 119 00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:54,040 Speaker 4: nothing is improving. Now it's time to go be a blessing. 120 00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:58,600 Speaker 4: Look around, where is a need you can meet. Go 121 00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:01,800 Speaker 4: pray for that neighbor and it's not feeling well. Go 122 00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:06,520 Speaker 4: encourage that coworker that's struggling. Go help that friend accomplish 123 00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:10,480 Speaker 4: their dream. As you're helping others. You may not be 124 00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:13,720 Speaker 4: able to see it, but God is helping you. He's 125 00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:18,520 Speaker 4: lining up the promotion, the breakthroughs, the healing. You can't 126 00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:22,240 Speaker 4: sow a seed without reaping a harvest. When I was 127 00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:26,000 Speaker 4: ten years old, Lakewood was in an auditorium that held 128 00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:29,840 Speaker 4: a thousand people. The church was growing. We needed to 129 00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:34,160 Speaker 4: expand the building. My father asked the congregation to be 130 00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:37,600 Speaker 4: praying about what they could give toward it. And there 131 00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:41,440 Speaker 4: was a small Spanish speaking church about six blocks down 132 00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:45,120 Speaker 4: the road from Lakewood. They had started construction on a 133 00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:48,760 Speaker 4: new building. It was an auditorium to hold one hundred people. 134 00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:53,880 Speaker 4: My father noticed that the construction had stopped for several months. 135 00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:57,360 Speaker 4: No one was working. He didn't know anyone there. He 136 00:07:57,400 --> 00:08:02,080 Speaker 4: had never met the pastor. But one after afternoon, leaving Lakewood, 137 00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:05,840 Speaker 4: he pulled in and talked with some people. They told 138 00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:10,720 Speaker 4: how they started construction but had complications. It was costing 139 00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:13,680 Speaker 4: more than they thought. Now they had run out of 140 00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:18,440 Speaker 4: funds and the building was just sitting there indefinitely. Well, 141 00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:22,680 Speaker 4: my father was believing to raise the funds to expand Lakewood. 142 00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:27,880 Speaker 4: We needed the finances, but he told the congregation instead 143 00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:30,720 Speaker 4: of giving money for our building. He was going to 144 00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:35,439 Speaker 4: take up an offering for their building. Lakewood gave the finances. 145 00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:39,480 Speaker 4: It was enough to finish their auditorium. In the natural, 146 00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:43,680 Speaker 4: it didn't make sense. We needed the finances. We had 147 00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:47,960 Speaker 4: the problem. But my father understood this principle. When you 148 00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:53,720 Speaker 4: helped solve somebody else's problem, God will help solve your problem. Now, 149 00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:58,440 Speaker 4: sometimes it's not going to make sense. Proverbs says it 150 00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:02,480 Speaker 4: is possible to give a way and have more. It 151 00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:06,880 Speaker 4: is also possible to hold on too tightly and lose everything. 152 00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:11,760 Speaker 4: God's ways are not our ways. Everything in you will say, 153 00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:15,440 Speaker 4: stay focused on getting out of my problem, Joel, I 154 00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:20,000 Speaker 4: can't help others until this problem is solved. No, helping 155 00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:23,560 Speaker 4: others is what's going to cause that problem to turn around. 156 00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:28,199 Speaker 4: Giving your time, energy, resources, that's what's going to open 157 00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:31,200 Speaker 4: the windows of heaven and cause your dream to come 158 00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:35,440 Speaker 4: to pass. You would have thought giving away those funds 159 00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:39,360 Speaker 4: would have kept Lakewood from expanding the building. It was 160 00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:43,160 Speaker 4: just the opposite. The funds came in for the foundation. 161 00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:46,440 Speaker 4: We paid it all. The funds came in for the steel, 162 00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:50,360 Speaker 4: the lights, the chairs, the sound system. The building was 163 00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:56,080 Speaker 4: built debt free, no delays, no complications, and not just 164 00:09:56,240 --> 00:10:01,200 Speaker 4: that building. Over the years, my father built building after building, 165 00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:06,840 Speaker 4: expansion after expansion. He paid cash every time. He never 166 00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:11,080 Speaker 4: lacked resources, never lack the funds. I believe it all 167 00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:15,080 Speaker 4: started when he helped that Spanish church. He had a need, 168 00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:18,120 Speaker 4: he had a problem. He didn't just pray about it, 169 00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:22,880 Speaker 4: he didn't just believe. He helped solve someone else's problem. 170 00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:27,640 Speaker 4: When you make sacrifices to help other people's dream come 171 00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:31,800 Speaker 4: to pass, God will make sure your dream comes to pass. 172 00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:38,199 Speaker 4: Don't live only focused on yourself, my goals, my problems, 173 00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:42,040 Speaker 4: my trouble at work. Get your mind off yourself and 174 00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:47,040 Speaker 4: go be a blessing. Sow acede doesn't have to be finances. 175 00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:50,880 Speaker 4: You can sow encouragement. Go visit that loved one in 176 00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:55,120 Speaker 4: the hospital. Cheer them up, Call that friend and speak 177 00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:59,880 Speaker 4: life into their dreams. Take that elderly neighbor dinner each night. 178 00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:04,520 Speaker 4: Make an extra plate for them. The scripture says, when 179 00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:08,240 Speaker 4: it's in your power to do good, don't withhold it 180 00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:12,000 Speaker 4: from others. That means, when you know you can be 181 00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:15,880 Speaker 4: a blessing, you have the resources to help that person 182 00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:19,200 Speaker 4: in need, you can teach them the skills that you've learned. 183 00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:23,520 Speaker 4: Don't put it off. When you help solve their problem. 184 00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:27,040 Speaker 4: You're not just being good to them, you are setting 185 00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:31,560 Speaker 4: a miracle in motion for yourself. When you show favor. 186 00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:35,600 Speaker 4: The scripture says, fever will come to you. And here's 187 00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:40,040 Speaker 4: the beauty. When you help others, what you give is 188 00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:42,760 Speaker 4: going to come back to you, but not in the 189 00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:48,720 Speaker 4: same proportion. Pressed down, shaking together, running over. My father 190 00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:53,160 Speaker 4: helped that Spanish church that one time, but the blessing 191 00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:57,040 Speaker 4: from that obedience is still coming. When you're in a 192 00:11:57,080 --> 00:12:00,280 Speaker 4: difficult time, more than ever, you need to look for 193 00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:05,920 Speaker 4: opportunities to do good. When your dream seems impossible, find 194 00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:10,120 Speaker 4: someone and help their dream come to pass. It's good 195 00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:13,760 Speaker 4: to pray, believe, work hard, but some things are not 196 00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:18,000 Speaker 4: going to happen if you're only focused on yourself as 197 00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:21,920 Speaker 4: you bless others, God will bless you. As you show favor, 198 00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:25,800 Speaker 4: favor will come to you. The last Sunday that we 199 00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:29,680 Speaker 4: had services at our old location, I was driving down 200 00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:34,120 Speaker 4: the road that final time, leaving the services, feeling so 201 00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:38,280 Speaker 4: grateful for all that God had done. My mind was 202 00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:42,200 Speaker 4: flooded with good memories and overwhelmed with where God was 203 00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:46,280 Speaker 4: taking us. I looked up and saw a beautiful rainbow 204 00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:50,240 Speaker 4: in the sky. It's as if God was smiling on us, 205 00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:54,520 Speaker 4: saying this chapter is finished, but another great chapter is beginning. 206 00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:59,720 Speaker 4: About that time, I passed that small Spanish church that 207 00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:03,360 Speaker 4: my father and Lakewood at help over forty years earlier. 208 00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:08,280 Speaker 4: Their little sign outside said thank you Lakewood for giving 209 00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:12,360 Speaker 4: us our building. My mind flashed back to that time 210 00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:15,640 Speaker 4: when I was a little boy. I wondered would I 211 00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:19,280 Speaker 4: be going to the Compact Center if my father had 212 00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:21,640 Speaker 4: not helped them in their time of need? Would I 213 00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:25,920 Speaker 4: be seeing the favor, the growth, the influence that it 214 00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:29,400 Speaker 4: could have thought? We got big problems. We need it 215 00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:32,600 Speaker 4: more than they do. We have all these challenges. But 216 00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:36,800 Speaker 4: he didn't withhold the good when he had the opportunity. 217 00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:40,200 Speaker 4: Much of this comes down to trusting God, Joel. I 218 00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:43,280 Speaker 4: can't help somebody else. I got my own problems. I 219 00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:46,080 Speaker 4: can't give away what I need from my dreams. I'm 220 00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:49,960 Speaker 4: counting on that when you give your time, your energy, 221 00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:54,200 Speaker 4: your resources, your talent, you will never end up with less. 222 00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:57,440 Speaker 4: That is a seed you're sewing that's going to keep 223 00:13:57,480 --> 00:14:01,480 Speaker 4: coming back to you. I am reaping a harvest from 224 00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:06,000 Speaker 4: seeds of obedience that my parents sowed fifty years ago. 225 00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:11,560 Speaker 4: When you live a life of generosity, making sacrifices for 226 00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:15,080 Speaker 4: others to come up higher, that's not only going to 227 00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:18,440 Speaker 4: impact you for the good. It's going to impact your children, 228 00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:22,680 Speaker 4: your grandchildren. Those seeds are going to keep on producing. 229 00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:27,960 Speaker 4: Second King's nineteen King, Hezekiah was on the throne of Israel. 230 00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:32,160 Speaker 4: He was one of David's descendants. The Assyrian army had 231 00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:35,560 Speaker 4: surrounded the people of Judah and were about to attack. 232 00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:40,720 Speaker 4: They were much bigger and stronger. Hezekiah didn't stand a chance. 233 00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:45,480 Speaker 4: Isaiah the Prophet told him, the Assyrian army will not 234 00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:49,680 Speaker 4: enter Jerusalem. They will not shoot their arrows over the 235 00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:54,560 Speaker 4: city wall, but they will return home in defeat. That night, 236 00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:58,800 Speaker 4: the Angel of the Lord destroyed one hundred and eighty 237 00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:02,280 Speaker 4: five thousand of the enemy troops. The rest of them 238 00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:07,800 Speaker 4: went back home, just like Isaiah prophesied. Hisekiah was so thrilled. 239 00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:11,600 Speaker 4: I can imagine he wondered why God blessed him in 240 00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:14,000 Speaker 4: such a way and why he showed him so much favor. 241 00:15:14,400 --> 00:15:18,920 Speaker 4: Isaiah said in verse thirty four, Hisekiah, God didn't do 242 00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:23,480 Speaker 4: this because of anything you did, he protected you for 243 00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:28,000 Speaker 4: the sake of his servant, David. This was three hundred 244 00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:32,200 Speaker 4: and five years after David had died. Yet those seeds 245 00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:36,040 Speaker 4: of obedience, seeds of being good to people were still 246 00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:41,440 Speaker 4: producing in their family line. Every time you help someone 247 00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:44,800 Speaker 4: in need, it's not only going to help you, but 248 00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:48,680 Speaker 4: you are storing up blessings for your children. Every time 249 00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:53,080 Speaker 4: you helped solve someone's problem, every time you make sacrifices 250 00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:56,480 Speaker 4: to help them go further, you're so in a seed 251 00:15:56,960 --> 00:15:59,800 Speaker 4: not only for you to go further, but for those 252 00:15:59,880 --> 00:16:03,440 Speaker 4: that come after you in your family line to go further. 253 00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:09,200 Speaker 4: Like Hezekiah, they will see blessings, favor protection because you 254 00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:14,040 Speaker 4: made decisions that honored God. In the scripture, Joseph had 255 00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:17,560 Speaker 4: a big problem. As a teenager. God gave him a 256 00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:21,160 Speaker 4: dream that he would be in leadership and do great things. 257 00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:24,720 Speaker 4: But his brothers were jealous of him. They didn't like 258 00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:28,560 Speaker 4: his big dream. They threw him into a pit. They 259 00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:31,080 Speaker 4: were going to tell their father that he was eaten 260 00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:35,400 Speaker 4: by a wild animal. They ended up selling him into slavery. 261 00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:39,720 Speaker 4: Joseph worked for a man named Potterphar in Egypt, and 262 00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:43,040 Speaker 4: even though Joseph had a big problem. Even though his 263 00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:46,600 Speaker 4: dreams were shattered, What did he do sit around in 264 00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:51,200 Speaker 4: self pity blaming God? Know In the midst of that problem, 265 00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:56,000 Speaker 4: he started helping Potterphar with his problem. He ran his 266 00:16:56,160 --> 00:17:01,280 Speaker 4: whole household, organized all his staff, made sure the grounds 267 00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:06,720 Speaker 4: were clean, the property secure, the supplies in place. Instead 268 00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:10,280 Speaker 4: of just focusing on his problem, he was being good 269 00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:14,879 Speaker 4: to someone else. At one point, Joseph was falsely accused 270 00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:19,440 Speaker 4: and put in prison. Surely now he would be bitter, discouraged. 271 00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:23,600 Speaker 4: But in the prison, two of his cell mates had 272 00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:27,280 Speaker 4: a problem. They had a dream and didn't understand what 273 00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:32,359 Speaker 4: it meant. Joseph didn't say, too bad for you. I'm depressed, 274 00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:35,679 Speaker 4: I don't want to be here. I don't like you anyway. 275 00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:39,479 Speaker 4: He said, I can interpret dreams. Let me help you 276 00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:43,760 Speaker 4: with your problem. He interpreted their dreams. One of the 277 00:17:43,800 --> 00:17:48,240 Speaker 4: cell mates was released from prison. Two years later, the pharaoh, 278 00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:51,320 Speaker 4: the leader of the country, had a dream that he 279 00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:55,760 Speaker 4: didn't understand. The former cealmates said, I know someone that 280 00:17:55,880 --> 00:18:00,440 Speaker 4: can interpret dreams. Joseph came before the pharaoh and told 281 00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:02,840 Speaker 4: him how the dream had to do with the food 282 00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:06,440 Speaker 4: supply and how there were years of famine coming and 283 00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:09,800 Speaker 4: how important it was to store up grain and get 284 00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:13,919 Speaker 4: everything prepared for the drought. Pharaoh looked at him and said, Joseph, 285 00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:17,280 Speaker 4: you're the right man for the job. Nobody could do 286 00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:20,440 Speaker 4: it better than you. He made Joseph second in command 287 00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:25,240 Speaker 4: of Egypt. What was Joseph doing for Pharaoh? Solving a 288 00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:31,240 Speaker 4: problem strategically getting everything lined up, using his talent, his skill, 289 00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:36,120 Speaker 4: his expertise to help the people that were holding him captive. 290 00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:40,359 Speaker 4: He was so excellent that people from other nations came 291 00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:45,600 Speaker 4: to study his operation. And I'm sure Joseph was grateful 292 00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:49,120 Speaker 4: to be out of prison to have this influential position, 293 00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:54,119 Speaker 4: but he still missed his family. Deep down, he thought 294 00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:57,480 Speaker 4: he would never see his father again, whom he loved 295 00:18:57,560 --> 00:19:01,840 Speaker 4: so much. He'd already accepted it was too late. But 296 00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:06,080 Speaker 4: as he was helping Pharaoh with his problem. Back home 297 00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:10,760 Speaker 4: in Israel, his brothers were loading up their camels about 298 00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:14,120 Speaker 4: to head to Egypt to look for food. They had 299 00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:17,880 Speaker 4: heard the only place that had supplies was at the 300 00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:22,480 Speaker 4: palace where Joseph was in charge. Noticed what was happening. 301 00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:26,879 Speaker 4: While Joseph was working on Pharaoh's problem, God was working 302 00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:30,040 Speaker 4: on Joseph's problem. He couldn't see it at the time. 303 00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:33,879 Speaker 4: Everything looked just the same. But what Joseph didn't know 304 00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:38,080 Speaker 4: was the camels were coming. His brothers were on the way. 305 00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:42,240 Speaker 4: I can imagine one evening, there was a knock on 306 00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:46,080 Speaker 4: the palace gates. The guards looked outside and saw this 307 00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:49,639 Speaker 4: caravan of camels. They asked the people what they wanted. 308 00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:52,639 Speaker 4: They said they were looking for food. One of the 309 00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:56,160 Speaker 4: guards went to Joseph, said there's a group that just arrived. 310 00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:58,919 Speaker 4: They want to purchase some grain. It was late in 311 00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:02,560 Speaker 4: the Dayjoseph was tired. He was about to say tell 312 00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:06,000 Speaker 4: them to leave, don't bother us, But for some reason 313 00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:09,359 Speaker 4: he changed his mind and went out to meet them. 314 00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:13,840 Speaker 4: He couldn't believe it. It was his brother's You would 315 00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:17,760 Speaker 4: think that Joseph would want to get revenge. The truth 316 00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:21,000 Speaker 4: is he was so grateful to see them. He was 317 00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:26,520 Speaker 4: overwhelmed with emotion. They didn't recognize him. Eventually he told 318 00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:30,480 Speaker 4: them who he was, and they all wept together. He 319 00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:34,280 Speaker 4: asked them if their father was still alive. They said 320 00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:39,199 Speaker 4: that he was. All those years Joseph spent working on 321 00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:43,119 Speaker 4: other people's problems, doing the right thing, even when it 322 00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:48,480 Speaker 4: wasn't fair that whole time God was watching. God sees 323 00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:53,119 Speaker 4: your faithfulness. He sees you helping others when you need help. 324 00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:57,320 Speaker 4: He sees you encouraging that friend when you need encouragement, 325 00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:01,240 Speaker 4: praying for that neighbor that's not well. When you're fighting 326 00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:05,200 Speaker 4: in illness, may seem like nothing is happening, but God 327 00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:09,400 Speaker 4: is working. What you can't see is the camels are 328 00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:13,239 Speaker 4: being loaded up. What you thought would never happen is 329 00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:18,560 Speaker 4: still on the way. Joseph's father and whole family came 330 00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:22,840 Speaker 4: to Egypt to live with Joseph. His father thought that 331 00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:27,400 Speaker 4: Joseph was dead. Joseph thought that his father had already passed. 332 00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:31,879 Speaker 4: Now the two of them are embracing, weeping. It's a 333 00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:37,160 Speaker 4: dream come true. Joseph's problem is finally solved. It didn't 334 00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:40,359 Speaker 4: happen the way Joseph thought. He didn't go back home 335 00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:44,400 Speaker 4: to Israel, but his family came to Egypt. They were 336 00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:47,880 Speaker 4: able to enjoy all the blessings and honor that God 337 00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:51,440 Speaker 4: had given Joseph. But none of this would have happened 338 00:21:51,760 --> 00:21:55,880 Speaker 4: if Joseph would have lived in grown. Not gonna help 339 00:21:55,920 --> 00:22:00,920 Speaker 4: this man, Potiphar got my own problems. Help these prisoners. 340 00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:03,399 Speaker 4: They've never done anything for me. I'm not going to 341 00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:07,240 Speaker 4: interpret the pharaoh's dream, use my expertise to run the 342 00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:11,040 Speaker 4: food supply. They need to do something for me. Joseph 343 00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:15,560 Speaker 4: understood this principle. When you're working on someone else's problem, 344 00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:19,399 Speaker 4: God is working on your problem. It may seem like 345 00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:24,160 Speaker 4: you could never get well, never break the addiction, never 346 00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:28,119 Speaker 4: accomplish your dream. It's been too long. But if you'll 347 00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:31,520 Speaker 4: do like Joseph and just keep being good to people, 348 00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:35,680 Speaker 4: keep helping solve their problems, keep helping their dreams come 349 00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:39,719 Speaker 4: to pass. What you can't see is the camels are coming. 350 00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:43,960 Speaker 4: What God started, he's going to finish. It's going to 351 00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:47,359 Speaker 4: surprise you. There's going to be a knock at the door. 352 00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:51,280 Speaker 4: You didn't see it coming, Like when Joseph's brother showed 353 00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:55,600 Speaker 4: up unexpectedly. Healing is going to come to you unexpectedly, 354 00:22:56,200 --> 00:23:01,320 Speaker 4: freedom from addictions, unexpectedly. Suddenly the right person finds you, 355 00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:06,040 Speaker 4: Suddenly that door of opportunity opens. You thought it was 356 00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:09,520 Speaker 4: too late, But the whole time you were helping others, 357 00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:14,679 Speaker 4: the camels were en route. God has not forgotten about you. 358 00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:20,320 Speaker 4: Those seeds you've sown have not gone unnoticed. Those times 359 00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:24,040 Speaker 4: you've come to church, served in the kids ministry while 360 00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:27,159 Speaker 4: you had problems at home. Those times you've sung in 361 00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:30,719 Speaker 4: the choir ushered, prayed for others when you were fighting 362 00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:34,080 Speaker 4: in illness. You could have stayed home. God, when you 363 00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:36,439 Speaker 4: do something for me, then all be my best. But 364 00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:40,560 Speaker 4: you just kept being your best, kept making sacrifices to 365 00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:44,280 Speaker 4: help others, giving away what you really needed for your dreams. 366 00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:48,119 Speaker 4: Get ready for some surprises. Get ready for God to 367 00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:51,479 Speaker 4: show out in your life. Get ready for something that 368 00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:56,239 Speaker 4: you haven't seen. It's going to be unusual, uncommon, and 369 00:23:56,280 --> 00:23:59,720 Speaker 4: it's going to thrust you into your destiny. When I 370 00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:03,439 Speaker 4: were for my father here those seventeen years doing the 371 00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:07,480 Speaker 4: television production, my goal was to make my father look 372 00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:10,760 Speaker 4: the best that I could. When I started, I didn't 373 00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:13,719 Speaker 4: have a lot of experience, so I found the best 374 00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:18,399 Speaker 4: lighting consultants, the best camera people. The first year, we 375 00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:21,879 Speaker 4: hired an older gentleman that used to produce the Today Show. 376 00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:25,240 Speaker 4: I was with him every minute he trained me how 377 00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:29,000 Speaker 4: to put the program together. I would spend hours trying 378 00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:32,400 Speaker 4: to improve the lighting and making sure the platform looked 379 00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:36,200 Speaker 4: the best that it possibly could. At one point we 380 00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:39,639 Speaker 4: were going to remodel the platform area. We had some 381 00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:42,760 Speaker 4: top designers come in to help us. We were going 382 00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:45,920 Speaker 4: to make a new podium as well, so I had 383 00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:49,760 Speaker 4: them mock up a temporary podium just so we could 384 00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:52,560 Speaker 4: check the size and see how it fit my father. 385 00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:55,439 Speaker 4: I had him come down and he stood behind it 386 00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:59,160 Speaker 4: and we looked at it on camera and made several adjustments. 387 00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:02,879 Speaker 4: I wanted it to fit him just right. I wanted 388 00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:05,560 Speaker 4: the stage area to be as perfect as can be. 389 00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:10,680 Speaker 4: When we finished the remodel, it looked so beautiful on camera. 390 00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:15,159 Speaker 4: I was so proud. It made my father shine. A 391 00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:18,160 Speaker 4: year later, my father went to be with the Lord. 392 00:25:18,880 --> 00:25:22,280 Speaker 4: I never dreamed one day I would be standing behind 393 00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:25,240 Speaker 4: that podium. One day I would be the one on 394 00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:29,240 Speaker 4: that beautiful platform. I thought I was building it for 395 00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:33,800 Speaker 4: my father. Really I was building it for me. When 396 00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:38,400 Speaker 4: you're helping other people, you think you're doing them a favor. 397 00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:42,520 Speaker 4: Really you're doing yourself a favor. As you help someone 398 00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:46,160 Speaker 4: else shine, God is going to make sure that you shine. 399 00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:50,080 Speaker 4: As you help others come up higher, God will cause 400 00:25:50,119 --> 00:25:53,160 Speaker 4: you to come up higher. That's a seed you're sewing 401 00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:57,439 Speaker 4: for where you're going. My friends, Robin Laura Coke, pastor 402 00:25:57,480 --> 00:26:02,200 Speaker 4: a great church in Austin, Texas. Years ago, their sixteen 403 00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:06,199 Speaker 4: year old son was killed in an automobile accident. It 404 00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:09,760 Speaker 4: wasn't easy, but they didn't get bitter. They didn't give 405 00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:14,280 Speaker 4: up on life. They kept moving forward. Eventually they started 406 00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:18,679 Speaker 4: a charity in his name called the Caleb Foundation. They 407 00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:23,879 Speaker 4: built hospitals, schools, orphanages, done great work all over the world. 408 00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:29,080 Speaker 4: One of their orphanages in Haiti called Caleb's House. Some 409 00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:32,040 Speaker 4: young men grew up there and were about to graduate 410 00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:34,880 Speaker 4: from high school. They were going to bring a few 411 00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:38,200 Speaker 4: of them to Austin to be interns at their church. 412 00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:41,879 Speaker 4: One of those young men that came noticed Rob and 413 00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:47,119 Speaker 4: Laura's daughter. They started dating, ended up falling in love. Now, 414 00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:51,280 Speaker 4: a few years ago their daughter married the young man 415 00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:54,600 Speaker 4: that grew up in the orphanage that they started in Haiti. 416 00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:58,399 Speaker 4: All birthed out of the loss of their son. But 417 00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:01,639 Speaker 4: what if Rob and Laura wouldn't have reached out to 418 00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:04,960 Speaker 4: help others in their time of need. They could have 419 00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:08,560 Speaker 4: been better. We're not going to help somebody. We lost 420 00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:12,280 Speaker 4: our son. We're in pain. Somebody needs to help us. Instead, 421 00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:16,480 Speaker 4: their attitude was yes, we're hurting. But God, we know 422 00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:20,000 Speaker 4: when we help others, you will help us. We know 423 00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:23,399 Speaker 4: when we work on their problems, you'll work on our problems. 424 00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:27,800 Speaker 4: They started sowing all these seeds, taking care of orphans, 425 00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:31,720 Speaker 4: giving an education to the less fortunate, being good to 426 00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:36,600 Speaker 4: people without expecting anything in return. When they built that 427 00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:40,600 Speaker 4: orphanage in Haiti, they never dreamed their son in law 428 00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:44,399 Speaker 4: would grow up there. They never dreamed he would marry 429 00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:48,200 Speaker 4: their daughter and become a part of their family. When 430 00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:52,160 Speaker 4: you're helping others, you think you're just doing good for them, 431 00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:55,480 Speaker 4: but you don't know what God is up to. You 432 00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:58,920 Speaker 4: can't be good to others without God being good back 433 00:27:58,960 --> 00:28:02,520 Speaker 4: to you. You don't know the favor and blessings that 434 00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:07,320 Speaker 4: are connected to you helping others rise higher. I wonder 435 00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:12,000 Speaker 4: how much we miss by living in grown. We only 436 00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:14,440 Speaker 4: focus on what we lost and how we've been hurt. 437 00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:16,960 Speaker 4: And God, I've got this big problem. You've got to 438 00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:21,240 Speaker 4: help me. Go be a blessing. Your miracle is waiting 439 00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:25,199 Speaker 4: for you as you help others. Sometimes the reason you 440 00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:29,159 Speaker 4: can't solve your problem is because what you need is 441 00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:34,200 Speaker 4: found in solving someone else's problem as you help them succeed. 442 00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:38,200 Speaker 4: Like with Robin Laura, your son in law will show up. 443 00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:41,720 Speaker 4: Things will happen that you weren't expecting. Now. I know 444 00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:44,720 Speaker 4: many of you have been doing this, going out of 445 00:28:44,760 --> 00:28:48,280 Speaker 4: your way to be good to others, making sacrifices to 446 00:28:48,320 --> 00:28:52,400 Speaker 4: help solve their problems. Get ready, the camels are coming. 447 00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:56,600 Speaker 4: What you've been praying about is already in route. I 448 00:28:56,760 --> 00:29:00,960 Speaker 4: believe and declare those seeds you've been sowing are about 449 00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:05,760 Speaker 4: to come back to you.

Today I'd like to give you an 454 00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:24,400 Speaker 4: opportunity to make Jesus the lord of your life. Would 455 00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:29,360 Speaker 4: you pray with me? Just say, Lord, Jesus, I repent 456 00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:34,120 Speaker 4: of my sins. Come into my heart. I make you 457 00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:38,680 Speaker 4: my Lord and savior. If you prayed that simple prayer, 458 00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:41,560 Speaker 4: we believe you got born again.
