We'd love to 9 00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:30,000 Speaker 1: have you be a part of one of our services. 10 00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:32,839 Speaker 1: I like to start with something funny, and I heard 11 00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:36,199 Speaker 1: about this lady. She was on an airplane reading her Bible. 12 00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:39,040 Speaker 1: The guy next to her said, you don't believe all 13 00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:41,600 Speaker 1: that stuff in there, do you? She said, of course, IDU, 14 00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:44,440 Speaker 1: it's the Bible. He said, well, what about that guy 15 00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:47,880 Speaker 1: that got swallowed by a well? She said, you mean Jonah. Yes, 16 00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:50,239 Speaker 1: I believe that too. He said, well, how could he 17 00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:53,880 Speaker 1: possibly survive all that time inside of a well? She 18 00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:55,720 Speaker 1: thought about it in a moment, said I don't know. 19 00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:57,800 Speaker 1: When I get to Heaven, I'll have to ask him. 20 00:00:58,080 --> 00:00:59,920 Speaker 1: He laughed and said, what if he's not in it? 21 00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:04,920 Speaker 1: She said, then you'll have to ask him say like 22 00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:07,920 Speaker 1: you mean it. This is my Bible. I am what 23 00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:10,600 Speaker 1: it says I am. I have what it says I have. 24 00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:13,720 Speaker 1: I can do what it says I can do. Today 25 00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:17,240 Speaker 1: I will be taught the word of God. I'll boldly confess. 26 00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:21,040 Speaker 1: My mind is alert, my heart is receptive. I will 27 00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:24,800 Speaker 1: never be the same. In Jesus's name, God bless you. 28 00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:29,080 Speaker 1: I want to talk to you today about expecting a 29 00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:32,920 Speaker 1: fever filled future. It's easy to lose our passion in 30 00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:37,000 Speaker 1: life when we've been through disappointments, dreams are taken longer 31 00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:40,240 Speaker 1: than we thought, we're dealing with a challenge. If we're 32 00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:44,120 Speaker 1: not careful, we'll become complacent. Well, we're not believing for 33 00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:48,120 Speaker 1: things to turn around and not expecting good breaks. But 34 00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:51,760 Speaker 1: Paul said in Romans, be glad for all that God 35 00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:54,960 Speaker 1: is planning for you. If you could see what God 36 00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:57,920 Speaker 1: has planned for you, if you knew the doors He's 37 00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:00,880 Speaker 1: going to open, the people you're going to meet, the 38 00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:03,840 Speaker 1: giants you're going to defeat. Did you go out each 39 00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:07,400 Speaker 1: day with a spring in your steps, excited about your future, 40 00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:12,000 Speaker 1: expecting God to show out in your life. That expectancy 41 00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:15,520 Speaker 1: is what allows God to do great things. That's your 42 00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:19,000 Speaker 1: faith at work. You may be in a difficult time 43 00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:22,400 Speaker 1: and thoughts will whisper it's never going to change. You've 44 00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:26,239 Speaker 1: seen your best days. Don't believe those lies. God has 45 00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:30,679 Speaker 1: a comeback for every setback, a new beginning for every loss, 46 00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:35,240 Speaker 1: mercy for every mistake. He's already planned to bring you 47 00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:38,800 Speaker 1: out better, to promote you in front of those that 48 00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:42,919 Speaker 1: did you wrong, to heal you. Despite that diagnosis, there 49 00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:46,600 Speaker 1: are good breaks in your future that will catapult you ahead. 50 00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:51,120 Speaker 1: When you realize this, it changes your perspective. You won't 51 00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:54,959 Speaker 1: get discouraged over problems thinking a dream is too big, 52 00:02:55,320 --> 00:03:00,080 Speaker 1: these people are too powerful. There'll be a passion, an expectancy. 53 00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:03,080 Speaker 1: You know God is on the throne, You know his 54 00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:06,560 Speaker 1: plans for you are for good. That He's already lined 55 00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:10,000 Speaker 1: up the right people, the breaks you need, the favor. 56 00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:14,119 Speaker 1: There's not a problem you'll face that God hasn't already 57 00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:17,440 Speaker 1: lined up a solution. It's not a goliath that will 58 00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:20,520 Speaker 1: try to stop you, that God hasn't already lined up 59 00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:24,160 Speaker 1: a slingshot in a smooth stone, not a dream in 60 00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:28,680 Speaker 1: your heart that God hasn't already arranged the wisdom, the creativity, 61 00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:32,720 Speaker 1: the funding, when you know God has good plans, you'll 62 00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:36,640 Speaker 1: live out of a place of rest, not uptight wondered 63 00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:39,600 Speaker 1: how it's going to work out. You know it's already 64 00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:43,960 Speaker 1: been planned. The schedule has already been set, not by people, 65 00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:47,320 Speaker 1: not by oppositions, not by the enemy. The Most High 66 00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:51,880 Speaker 1: God has planned out your days. Psalm thirty says that 67 00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:55,000 Speaker 1: God's favor is not for a season, but it's for 68 00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:59,480 Speaker 1: a lifetime, not for a few years. Maybe in your twenties, 69 00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:01,960 Speaker 1: you're thirty, you have a few good breaks. No, as 70 00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:05,680 Speaker 1: long as you're breathing, there's favor on your life. And 71 00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:08,160 Speaker 1: we can all look back and see these moments of 72 00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:11,600 Speaker 1: favor where God opened the door we could have never opened. 73 00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:14,400 Speaker 1: He had you at the right place, and you met 74 00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:17,680 Speaker 1: that person and fell in love. He promoted you when 75 00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:20,160 Speaker 1: you weren't next in line. He healed you when the 76 00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:24,120 Speaker 1: expert said there was no way. You've seen God's favor 77 00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:27,680 Speaker 1: in the past. The good news is God never does 78 00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:31,919 Speaker 1: his greatest feats in your yesterdays. They're always in your tomorrows. 79 00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:35,159 Speaker 1: God doesn't want us to live off of old victories. 80 00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:38,680 Speaker 1: Yes we can celebrate, Yes we should be grateful for 81 00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:41,840 Speaker 1: what God has done, but He has some new victories 82 00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:46,080 Speaker 1: for you. He's taken you from glory to glory. What's 83 00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:49,760 Speaker 1: in your future is going to supersede anything you've seen 84 00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:53,159 Speaker 1: in the past. That's why we can live with expectancy, 85 00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:57,680 Speaker 1: excited when others are down, hopeful when others are discouraged, 86 00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:02,200 Speaker 1: praising when others are complaining. We know His favor is 87 00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:05,520 Speaker 1: for a lifetime that we haven't seen our best days. 88 00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:09,040 Speaker 1: I'm sure you can say, like me that God's been 89 00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:12,599 Speaker 1: good to you, You've been blessed, but the scripture says 90 00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:16,800 Speaker 1: you haven't seen, heard, or imagined what God has in 91 00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:20,919 Speaker 1: store for those that love him. You've seen favor, but 92 00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:24,760 Speaker 1: you haven't seen the favor that's coming. You've seen breakthroughs 93 00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:27,920 Speaker 1: God turned things around, but you haven't seen the breakthroughs 94 00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:32,280 Speaker 1: that are coming. You've seen promotion, but you haven't seen 95 00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:34,599 Speaker 1: the levels that God is about to take you to. 96 00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:39,120 Speaker 1: Paul said, to be glad for all God is planning 97 00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:43,760 Speaker 1: for you. He's inferring if you're not glad, you're not hopeful, 98 00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:47,240 Speaker 1: not expecting, then you're not going to see it. You'll 99 00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:51,400 Speaker 1: miss the favor, the blessing that belongs to you. Well, 100 00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:54,080 Speaker 1: Joel I've seen God's goodness in the past, but this 101 00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:58,480 Speaker 1: problem with my health, this child, my finances, I don't 102 00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:01,360 Speaker 1: see how it can work out. Don't talk yourself out 103 00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:03,880 Speaker 1: of it. If you could see what God has planned, 104 00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:07,040 Speaker 1: if you could see what He's about to do, you'd 105 00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:12,960 Speaker 1: get your passion back. God sent me to relight that fire. Yes, 106 00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:15,280 Speaker 1: he's been good to you in the past, but there 107 00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:19,359 Speaker 1: are new victories coming. Just because you haven't seen anything 108 00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:22,280 Speaker 1: in a long time doesn't mean God is not going 109 00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:25,440 Speaker 1: to do it. The scripture says, there is a set 110 00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:29,839 Speaker 1: time for God to favor you. There are marked moments 111 00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:34,680 Speaker 1: where God has already planned to suddenly promote you, suddenly 112 00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:39,400 Speaker 1: turn it around, suddenly open a door. David said, what 113 00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:42,480 Speaker 1: would have happened to me? If I had not believed 114 00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:46,040 Speaker 1: that I would see the goodness of God? He was saying, 115 00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:49,839 Speaker 1: I wouldn't be where I am. I wouldn't have defeated Goliath. 116 00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:53,400 Speaker 1: I wouldn't have outlasted King Saul. I wouldn't have taken 117 00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:56,760 Speaker 1: the throne if I had not believed that the favor 118 00:06:56,839 --> 00:06:59,400 Speaker 1: of God was on my life, that he had already 119 00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:03,640 Speaker 1: lined up the breaks, the protection, the promotion that would 120 00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:07,960 Speaker 1: take me into my destiny. See, when David was a teenager, 121 00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:11,120 Speaker 1: he was out in the shepherd's fields taking care of 122 00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:14,680 Speaker 1: his father's sheep. He had a big dream for his life, 123 00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:18,440 Speaker 1: but nobody paid attention to him. He was stuck out there, 124 00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:23,200 Speaker 1: cleaning up after sheep, protecting them, feeding them. His brothers 125 00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:26,960 Speaker 1: were in the army. They had a prestigious position. It 126 00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:29,720 Speaker 1: seemed like David had been left out. He was at 127 00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:33,600 Speaker 1: a disadvantage, almost like God had forgotten about him. He 128 00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:37,160 Speaker 1: could have been discouraged. But this isn't fair. Why did 129 00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:40,120 Speaker 1: I get stuck out here? But out there in the 130 00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:44,400 Speaker 1: lonely shepherd's fields when he could have been complaining. Maybe 131 00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:48,320 Speaker 1: that's where he wrote, Surely goodness and mercy will follow 132 00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:51,360 Speaker 1: me all the days of my life. He was saying, 133 00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:54,320 Speaker 1: the odds may be against me, doesn't look like I 134 00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:58,760 Speaker 1: can accomplish my dreams. But surely goodness is coming. Surely 135 00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:01,640 Speaker 1: new doors are going to open. Surely the right people 136 00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:05,160 Speaker 1: will show up. He had such a confidence in God. 137 00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:10,360 Speaker 1: He believed, despite the circumstances, despite how long it had been, 138 00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:13,400 Speaker 1: despite who didn't believe in him, that he would leave 139 00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:18,720 Speaker 1: his mark. One day, unexpectedly, the Prophet Samuel came to 140 00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:22,040 Speaker 1: his father's house to anoint one of the sons as 141 00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:26,520 Speaker 1: the next king of Israel. His father, Jesse, didn't even 142 00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:30,400 Speaker 1: bother to call David in from the shepherd's fields. He thought, 143 00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:34,640 Speaker 1: David's too young, too small, He's not that talented. He'll 144 00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:39,120 Speaker 1: never do anything great. People may overlook you, but God 145 00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:42,880 Speaker 1: sees you. They may judge you, discount you, leave you out. 146 00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:46,959 Speaker 1: They can't see the greatness God put in you. He 147 00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:50,520 Speaker 1: loves to take what some consider weak and cause them 148 00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:54,320 Speaker 1: to confound the wise. Samuel said to Jesse, it's none 149 00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:57,480 Speaker 1: of these sons. Do you have any other? He said, yes, 150 00:08:57,520 --> 00:08:59,679 Speaker 1: I have a son named David, but I'm sure it's 151 00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:03,720 Speaker 1: not here. They brought David in. Samuel took one look 152 00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:07,160 Speaker 1: at him and said, that's the one. God had already 153 00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:10,800 Speaker 1: planned for David to be the king. What God has 154 00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:16,080 Speaker 1: planned for you. People cannot stop. Betrayals, can't stop rejection, 155 00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:20,680 Speaker 1: can't stop. God's plan will override what other people want. 156 00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:24,959 Speaker 1: His plan will supersede those that try to push you down, 157 00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:29,000 Speaker 1: leave you out, tell you that you're not qualified. And 158 00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:33,400 Speaker 1: it's significant that David didn't go after Samuel. Samuel came 159 00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:37,800 Speaker 1: to him. David didn't have to campaign try to convince 160 00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:40,880 Speaker 1: Samuel to be for him, play up to him. Samuel 161 00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:44,920 Speaker 1: came knocking on his doors. There are blessings in your future, 162 00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:48,320 Speaker 1: good breaks, the right people that are going to come 163 00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:51,280 Speaker 1: looking for you. You don't have to go after them. 164 00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:54,840 Speaker 1: God's going to cause them to find you. These moments 165 00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:58,760 Speaker 1: of favor that God has already lined up to thrust 166 00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:01,720 Speaker 1: you into your destiny, and I know you've seen some 167 00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:04,880 Speaker 1: in the past. The good news is His favor is 168 00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:08,920 Speaker 1: for a life round. There are more favor moments come 169 00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:14,200 Speaker 1: in your way. There are more samuels, blessings, promotion, healing 170 00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:17,640 Speaker 1: still on your schedule. Now do your part and be 171 00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:21,560 Speaker 1: glad for all God has planned for you. Live with expectancy, 172 00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:26,680 Speaker 1: excited about your future, thanking God for what's in store. 173 00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:30,319 Speaker 1: Pastor friend of mine wanted to build a new sanctuary 174 00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:34,199 Speaker 1: and he'd tried for several years but couldn't find any property. 175 00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:36,680 Speaker 1: And a couple of times he found a place, but 176 00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:39,160 Speaker 1: it was way too expensive, he didn't have the funds 177 00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:42,520 Speaker 1: and nothing was coming together. He could have been discouraged 178 00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:44,920 Speaker 1: and thought, Ellen, it's not meant to be, but his 179 00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:48,680 Speaker 1: attitude was, God, I know you already have the right 180 00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:52,080 Speaker 1: place for us. God, I trust you. One day, the 181 00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:56,000 Speaker 1: mayor of his city unexpectedly called. He had never met 182 00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:58,840 Speaker 1: this pastor, but he'd heard that they were looking for 183 00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:02,440 Speaker 1: a building. Told about this group that built a huge 184 00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:05,320 Speaker 1: building for a casino. It was just a few miles 185 00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:08,840 Speaker 1: from his church. Before they moved in, they went bankrupt. 186 00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:12,640 Speaker 1: It had over forty acres of parking. The building could 187 00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:16,760 Speaker 1: fit four football fiells inside. The mayor asked the pastor 188 00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:20,240 Speaker 1: if he was interested in purchasing the building. Pastor thought 189 00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:23,280 Speaker 1: it cost fifty million dollars. They couldn't afford that. The 190 00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:25,680 Speaker 1: mayor said, no, we can sell it to you for 191 00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:30,200 Speaker 1: under two million dollars. Pastor never dreamed he would have 192 00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:33,560 Speaker 1: a facility like that. This was one of those favor 193 00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:37,600 Speaker 1: moments that God had already planned. Now, God has some 194 00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:42,160 Speaker 1: of these explosive blessings in your future moments that will 195 00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:45,920 Speaker 1: catapult you further. You couldn't make it happen. You didn't 196 00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:49,480 Speaker 1: have the resources, the funding, the connections. But the favor 197 00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:52,280 Speaker 1: of God will open the door. The favor of God 198 00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:55,440 Speaker 1: will bring the right people. The favor of God will 199 00:11:55,480 --> 00:12:00,360 Speaker 1: turn that problem around. Instead of living worried for us straight, 200 00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:05,600 Speaker 1: Let's do like David. Surely goodness is coming. He didn't 201 00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:09,120 Speaker 1: say I hope it comes, Maybe it comes. There's a 202 00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:12,320 Speaker 1: chance it may show up. He said, Surely it's coming. 203 00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:17,520 Speaker 1: Our attitude should be. Surely breakthroughs are coming. Surely promotion 204 00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:22,040 Speaker 1: is on the way. Surely, healing, restoration, new levels are 205 00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:25,360 Speaker 1: in front of me. David said in Psalm twenty seven, 206 00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:28,800 Speaker 1: I am confident I will see the goodness of God. 207 00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:33,640 Speaker 1: Look at his attitude in the midst of trouble, people 208 00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:37,160 Speaker 1: coming against him, left out in the shepherd's fields. You 209 00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:40,600 Speaker 1: would think he'd be discouraged, giving up on his dreams. 210 00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:44,480 Speaker 1: Yet he said, I am confident God will turn this around. 211 00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:47,920 Speaker 1: I am confident good things are ahead of me. I 212 00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:50,800 Speaker 1: am confident my latter days will be better than my 213 00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:55,360 Speaker 1: former days. He was convinced that God had good things 214 00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:58,200 Speaker 1: planned for him. That he wasn't at the mercy of 215 00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:01,520 Speaker 1: other people. His environ meant what he didn't get. He 216 00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:05,440 Speaker 1: knew that God had the final say. What would happen 217 00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:08,719 Speaker 1: if we would live with that same attitude. I am 218 00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:12,320 Speaker 1: confident I will see God's goodness. How much further will 219 00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:16,120 Speaker 1: we go. If we had this mindset, surely good things 220 00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:19,439 Speaker 1: are in my future. Yes, business may be slow now, 221 00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:23,960 Speaker 1: struggling with my finances, but I am confident Jehovah Jihrah, 222 00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:28,960 Speaker 1: the Lord, my provider, will bring increase, promotion, new clients, abundance. 223 00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:33,120 Speaker 1: I'm still single, haven't met anyone yet, but I am 224 00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:36,280 Speaker 1: confident the right person is on the way. I'm still 225 00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:39,199 Speaker 1: fighting this battle in my health, but I am confident 226 00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:43,520 Speaker 1: Jehovah Rafa, the Lord, my healer, is restoring health back 227 00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:47,319 Speaker 1: into me. I am confident I will live and not die. 228 00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:50,680 Speaker 1: Or maybe this addiction has been in my family for years, 229 00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:54,360 Speaker 1: but I am confident freedom is coming. This is not 230 00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:58,640 Speaker 1: how my story ends. I am confident this generational curse 231 00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:04,000 Speaker 1: is being broken and a generational blessing is beginning. Proverb 232 00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:07,800 Speaker 1: thirteen puts it this way. Trouble chases the wicked, but 233 00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:12,280 Speaker 1: blessings chase the righteous. When you honor God with your life, 234 00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:19,680 Speaker 1: you keep in first place. Something is chasing you. Not defeat, bad, break, sickness, depression, No, 235 00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:24,720 Speaker 1: you're the righteous. Blessings are chasing you. Healing, promotion, the 236 00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:28,320 Speaker 1: right people, breakthroughs. When you look in your rear view mirror. 237 00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:31,800 Speaker 1: You have a tailgater. Favor is about to overtake you. 238 00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:35,760 Speaker 1: Samuel is about to show up that baby you've been 239 00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:39,560 Speaker 1: dreaming about. It's headed your way. Healing is tracking you 240 00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:43,040 Speaker 1: down right now. Freedom has almost caught up with you. 241 00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:46,480 Speaker 1: Just a matter of time before you see the goodness 242 00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:49,800 Speaker 1: of God. Now do your part and be glad for 243 00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:54,200 Speaker 1: what God is planning for you. Every day. Live with expectancy. Lord, 244 00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:57,240 Speaker 1: I believe something good is going to happen to me. Father, 245 00:14:57,400 --> 00:14:59,680 Speaker 1: thank you that my best days are not behind me, 246 00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:03,560 Speaker 1: but they're still out in front of me. See Isaiah said, 247 00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:07,400 Speaker 1: God is longing to be good to those who look 248 00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:13,040 Speaker 1: for who expect his goodness, his favor, and his blessing. No, 249 00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:15,480 Speaker 1: this God wants to be good to you. He wants 250 00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:18,760 Speaker 1: to show you his favor, but there's a condition. He's 251 00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:23,560 Speaker 1: looking for people that are expecting his goodness, expecting his favor, 252 00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:27,800 Speaker 1: people who will believe that healing is coming, that breakthroughs 253 00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:30,800 Speaker 1: are on the way, that their future will be brighter 254 00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:34,400 Speaker 1: than their past. Could it be that God is longing 255 00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:36,600 Speaker 1: to be good to you, but you're not seeing it 256 00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:42,960 Speaker 1: because you're not looking for his goodness. You become passive complacent. Joe, 257 00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:45,640 Speaker 1: it's been this way a long time. I think I'm 258 00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:48,120 Speaker 1: stuck out here in the shepherd's fields. These people didn't 259 00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:51,440 Speaker 1: treat me right either. No, God has an awesome future 260 00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:55,280 Speaker 1: planning for you. His favor is for a lifetime. Here's 261 00:15:55,280 --> 00:15:57,680 Speaker 1: the whole key. You have to be looking for it. 262 00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:01,440 Speaker 1: You have to be expecting things to turn around, believing 263 00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:04,600 Speaker 1: that good breaks are coming, thanking him that the best 264 00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:08,760 Speaker 1: is still ahead. A passive attitude will keep you from 265 00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:12,760 Speaker 1: the fullness of your destiny. It's easy to become complacent. 266 00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:16,480 Speaker 1: I've seen God's goodness. I have no complaints. I've been blessed. 267 00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:21,080 Speaker 1: Don't put your faith on autopilot. God didn't create you 268 00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:23,920 Speaker 1: to reach a certain level and get stuck. He said 269 00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:27,480 Speaker 1: your path will get brighter and brighter, that your latter 270 00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:31,080 Speaker 1: days will be better than your former days. Now, you 271 00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:34,600 Speaker 1: may have had some great former days, that's awesome, But 272 00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:38,920 Speaker 1: God has some greater days of ahead. There are moments 273 00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:42,240 Speaker 1: of favor you're about to come into that are going 274 00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:46,360 Speaker 1: to catapult you ahead. Something you can't explain. You didn't 275 00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:49,680 Speaker 1: work for it, you weren't qualified. It's never happened in 276 00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:53,440 Speaker 1: your family it's just the goodness of God. It's Samuel 277 00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:57,480 Speaker 1: showing up. It's the mayor calling, it's the building finding you. 278 00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:01,600 Speaker 1: It's favor on that slingshot to where God thrust you 279 00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:07,520 Speaker 1: into influence, resources, leadership that you've never imagined. Paul prayed 280 00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:10,879 Speaker 1: in Ephesians that the eyes of our heart would be 281 00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:14,200 Speaker 1: flooded with light so that we would know the awesome 282 00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:18,040 Speaker 1: future God has in store. Paul knew our mind would 283 00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:20,640 Speaker 1: try to talk us out of it and we'd get passive. 284 00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:25,760 Speaker 1: Let disappointments, setbacks cause us to quit believing, settle where 285 00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:28,879 Speaker 1: we are. That's why he prayed that we would be 286 00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:35,400 Speaker 1: flooded with light. Flooded means overwhelmed, not overwhelmed with dow trouble. 287 00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:38,480 Speaker 1: Look what I'm up against. I've reached my limits. No 288 00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:43,360 Speaker 1: flooded with light, flooded with hope, flooded with faith, flooded 289 00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:48,000 Speaker 1: with expectancy. Like David, I am confident I will see 290 00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:51,479 Speaker 1: the goodness of God. When Moses was at the end 291 00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:54,679 Speaker 1: of his life one hundred and twenty years old, he 292 00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:58,280 Speaker 1: was about to pass the Scripture says his eye was 293 00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:03,040 Speaker 1: not dim and natural force was not abated. This was 294 00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:06,720 Speaker 1: talking about his physical eyes, but I believe it's symbolic 295 00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:10,720 Speaker 1: his eyes of faith, the eyes of his heart, were 296 00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:14,040 Speaker 1: still flooded with light, one hundred and twenty years old, 297 00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:18,400 Speaker 1: and he was still expecting God's goodness. This was significant 298 00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:22,520 Speaker 1: because Moses, as a baby, had seen God's favor. The 299 00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:26,120 Speaker 1: king had issued a decree that all the male Hebrew 300 00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:29,320 Speaker 1: boys two years of agent under were supposed to be killed. 301 00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:32,480 Speaker 1: But Moses's mother put him in that basket and sent 302 00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:35,960 Speaker 1: him down the Nile River. Just so happened, the pharaoh's 303 00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:39,000 Speaker 1: daughter was there taking a bath. She saw him and 304 00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:42,240 Speaker 1: took him in. She raised Moses as her own child. 305 00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:46,240 Speaker 1: Now Moses knew he was supposed to deliver the Israelites 306 00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:49,200 Speaker 1: out of slavery, but he got out of God's timing. 307 00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:53,679 Speaker 1: He saw an Egyptian foreman mistreating a Hebrew slave. He 308 00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:56,520 Speaker 1: didn't think anyone was watching, and he killed that foreman. 309 00:18:57,240 --> 00:19:00,440 Speaker 1: He had to flee for his life, spent forty years 310 00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:05,720 Speaker 1: hiding in the desert. I'm sure he felt forgotten alone, 311 00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:09,440 Speaker 1: like he had missed God's plan. It his own fault, 312 00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:13,360 Speaker 1: he blew it. But God's favor is not for a season, 313 00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:17,360 Speaker 1: It's for a lifetime. God has mercy for every mistake. 314 00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:21,840 Speaker 1: He's already planned to come back. Forty years later, at 315 00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:26,400 Speaker 1: eighty years old, God showed up in a burning bush, said, Moses, 316 00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:30,720 Speaker 1: now want you to go and deliver the Israelites after 317 00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:34,240 Speaker 1: his mistake. After he thought he was done, he went 318 00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:36,959 Speaker 1: on to part the Red Sea to bring water out 319 00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:40,920 Speaker 1: of a rock, to see all these supernatural signs. Now, 320 00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:44,040 Speaker 1: at one hundred and twenty years old, his eye was 321 00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:47,520 Speaker 1: not dim. He was still confident he would see the 322 00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:51,560 Speaker 1: goodness of God. If Moses were here today, he would 323 00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:55,040 Speaker 1: tell you God's favor is not for a season, It's 324 00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:59,439 Speaker 1: for your lifetime. You haven't made too many mistakes. The 325 00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:03,560 Speaker 1: obstin are not too big. What God promised you He's 326 00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:07,120 Speaker 1: still going to bring to pass. Now get your fireback, 327 00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:11,480 Speaker 1: start expecting his favor. He's longing to be good to you, 328 00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:15,239 Speaker 1: but you have to be looking for his goodness. I 329 00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:18,120 Speaker 1: talked to a young lady after the service. She had 330 00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:22,080 Speaker 1: lost her arm in an accident. She became very depressed, 331 00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:25,160 Speaker 1: wouldn't leave the house, and many days she wouldn't get 332 00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:28,480 Speaker 1: out of bed. Her mother God her listening to our messages, 333 00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:31,120 Speaker 1: and she heard me talking about how God has good 334 00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:34,040 Speaker 1: things in store, and how what was meant for harm? 335 00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:37,119 Speaker 1: He can turn to your advantage. Little by little she 336 00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:40,520 Speaker 1: got her passion back. She told me how. She said, God, 337 00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:44,359 Speaker 1: I'm disappointed. I don't have any plans for my life. 338 00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:47,439 Speaker 1: But God, I know you have good plans for me. 339 00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:51,760 Speaker 1: You may not see anything good in your future. That's okay. 340 00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:55,200 Speaker 1: Like her, you can thank God for what he has 341 00:20:55,320 --> 00:20:59,840 Speaker 1: planned for you. His plans are bigger, better, more rewarding 342 00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:05,240 Speaker 1: then you could ever imagine. Proverb says hope deferred makes 343 00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:10,000 Speaker 1: the heart sick. One definition of hope is happy anticipation 344 00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:15,000 Speaker 1: of something good. If you're anticipating something good, brings your joy, 345 00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:18,719 Speaker 1: gives your passion. When you believe the best is in 346 00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:22,040 Speaker 1: front of you, God is arranging things in your favor, 347 00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:26,720 Speaker 1: lining up the samuels, the property, the solution. You believe 348 00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:29,879 Speaker 1: he has explosive blessings on your schedule, then you're going 349 00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:34,840 Speaker 1: to be excited about life. It'll affect your attitude, your relationships, 350 00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:39,960 Speaker 1: your productivity. But if you're not anticipating anything good, if 351 00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:44,040 Speaker 1: you think you're stuck, the problems permanent, you've reached your limits, 352 00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:48,800 Speaker 1: that will drain your energy, stifle your creativity, take your joy, 353 00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:53,359 Speaker 1: and you'll just drag through the day. Endure line. God 354 00:21:53,440 --> 00:21:57,320 Speaker 1: created you to have something to look forward to. This 355 00:21:57,359 --> 00:22:00,199 Speaker 1: is what faith is all about. God. I believe you 356 00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:03,440 Speaker 1: have good plans for me, that you're taking me where 357 00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:07,040 Speaker 1: I've never been. That the best days in my health, 358 00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:10,359 Speaker 1: my family, my relationships are still in front of me. 359 00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:15,359 Speaker 1: That's not just being positive, that's getting in agreement with God. 360 00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:19,800 Speaker 1: That's what allows him to do amazing things. My prayer 361 00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:23,280 Speaker 1: is that you will be like Moses, that your eyes 362 00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:26,520 Speaker 1: will not become dim, that you will not lose sight 363 00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:29,480 Speaker 1: of the awesome future God has in store. That you 364 00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:33,040 Speaker 1: will keep your faith stirred up to live with expectancy 365 00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:37,479 Speaker 1: looking for God's goodness. Paul said, be glad for all 366 00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:40,280 Speaker 1: God has planned for you. The next part of that 367 00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:45,080 Speaker 1: same verse says, be patient in trouble. It's not a 368 00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:51,000 Speaker 1: coincidence that God connected the two because in trouble, in difficulties, 369 00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:54,439 Speaker 1: you'll be tempted to get discouraged, think it's never going 370 00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:58,160 Speaker 1: to work out, medical reports too bad. Had this set 371 00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:01,919 Speaker 1: back in my career of that is a surprise to God. 372 00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:06,879 Speaker 1: He's already planned the solution. Be patient in trouble. The 373 00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:10,440 Speaker 1: trouble is not permanent. The trouble is not how your 374 00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:14,679 Speaker 1: story ends. God wouldn't have allowed the difficulty if he 375 00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:18,119 Speaker 1: wasn't going to bring you out better. The scripture says, 376 00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:23,040 Speaker 1: God makes all things beautiful in its time. Give God 377 00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:26,280 Speaker 1: time to work it out. Just because you don't see 378 00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:30,800 Speaker 1: anything happening doesn't mean God is not working behind the scenes. 379 00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:34,560 Speaker 1: Right now. He's lining up everything that you need. He's 380 00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:36,880 Speaker 1: not going to bring you out the same. He's going 381 00:23:36,920 --> 00:23:41,400 Speaker 1: to bring you out better. But while you're waiting, negative 382 00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:44,120 Speaker 1: thoughts will come try to talk you out of it. 383 00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:46,920 Speaker 1: That's when you have to dig down deep and say, 384 00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:50,280 Speaker 1: like David, I am confident I will see the goodness 385 00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:54,240 Speaker 1: of God. Surely favor is coming, Surely healing is coming. 386 00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:58,199 Speaker 1: Surely breakthroughs are on the way. Instead of dwelling on 387 00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:01,720 Speaker 1: all the reasons, it's not going to worry. Start thanking 388 00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:05,359 Speaker 1: God that he's turning it around. Lord, you said, many 389 00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:08,320 Speaker 1: are the afflictions of the righteous, but you deliver me 390 00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:11,119 Speaker 1: out of them all. You said you will lift me 391 00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:13,600 Speaker 1: out of this pit, set my feet on a rock, 392 00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:16,240 Speaker 1: put a new song in my heart. Lord. I think 393 00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:19,520 Speaker 1: you that I'm coming out better, promoted at a new 394 00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:24,400 Speaker 1: level of my destiny. In the scripture, Ruth went through 395 00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:29,239 Speaker 1: a great disappointment. Her husband unexpectedly passed. She was a 396 00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:32,359 Speaker 1: young woman. She never dreamed she would be a widow 397 00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:35,440 Speaker 1: at this age, and her whole life was turned upside down. 398 00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:39,320 Speaker 1: Didn't seem like God had good plans for her. Call 399 00:24:39,359 --> 00:24:43,680 Speaker 1: that heartache and pain. But being a believer doesn't exempt 400 00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:46,679 Speaker 1: us from difficulties. There will be things that are not 401 00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:50,480 Speaker 1: fair we don't understand. This is when you have to 402 00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:53,760 Speaker 1: trust that God is still in control. If you'll be 403 00:24:53,880 --> 00:24:57,320 Speaker 1: patient not get bitter, God will give you beauty for 404 00:24:57,359 --> 00:25:01,679 Speaker 1: those ashes. Ruth and her mother in law, Naomi, they 405 00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:07,680 Speaker 1: moved back to Naomi's hometown. They were both widows, very poor, heartbroken. 406 00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:10,719 Speaker 1: Ruth would go out in the fields each morning and 407 00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:13,720 Speaker 1: pick up left over wheat. One day, the owner of 408 00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:18,160 Speaker 1: all those fields noticed Ruth, a man named Boas long 409 00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:22,000 Speaker 1: story short, they ended up falling in love and getting married. 410 00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:25,560 Speaker 1: They had a little baby boy. I can see Ruth 411 00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:29,280 Speaker 1: holding that baby, never imagining she would be that happy, 412 00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:33,000 Speaker 1: that fulfilled. She didn't have to work in the fields anymore. 413 00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:36,800 Speaker 1: Now she owned the fields. They named their son Obed. 414 00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:40,240 Speaker 1: Obed had a son named Jesse. Jesse had a son 415 00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:44,360 Speaker 1: named David. Now Ruth was in the family line of Jesus. 416 00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:49,000 Speaker 1: Be patient in trouble. You don't know what God has planned. 417 00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:52,480 Speaker 1: You don't know where He's taking you. The enemy would 418 00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:56,000 Speaker 1: love for your eyes to become dim. Where you live 419 00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:59,560 Speaker 1: discouraged look at all these bad breaks. No, they're a 420 00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:04,200 Speaker 1: boss is out there for you. There is restoration, healing, abundance. 421 00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:07,960 Speaker 1: God has things in your future that you can't conceive 422 00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:11,879 Speaker 1: right now. Sometimes you have to go through the disappointment, 423 00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:15,400 Speaker 1: through the hardship, but on the other side, you're going 424 00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:18,480 Speaker 1: to see favor that you would have never seen. My 425 00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:22,240 Speaker 1: question for you today is are you expecting a favor 426 00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:26,960 Speaker 1: filled future? Are you anticipating anything good? Are the eyes 427 00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:30,720 Speaker 1: of your heart flooded with light? Or had they become dim? 428 00:26:31,080 --> 00:26:34,080 Speaker 1: You think you've seen your best days. The only thing 429 00:26:34,119 --> 00:26:38,240 Speaker 1: that's stopping some people is what they're expecting. I'm asking 430 00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:41,680 Speaker 1: you to be a David. Have that attitude. I am 431 00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:45,160 Speaker 1: confident I will see the goodness of God. Surely favor 432 00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:48,400 Speaker 1: is coming my way. If you'll do this, I believe 433 00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:51,639 Speaker 1: and declare you're about to step in to one of 434 00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:55,640 Speaker 1: those moments of favor. God's about to do something unusual, 435 00:26:56,119 --> 00:27:00,840 Speaker 1: Blessings chasing you down, healing about to overtake you. Samuel's 436 00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:04,400 Speaker 1: about to show up good breaks that catapult you ahead 437 00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:08,840 Speaker 1: a new level of your destiny in Jesus's name, And 438 00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:13,679 Speaker 1: if you receive it well, you say, then I'd like 439 00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:16,480 Speaker 1: to give you an opportunity to make Jesus the lord 440 00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:20,440 Speaker 1: of your life. Would you pray with me? Just say, Lord, Jesus, 441 00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:26,440 Speaker 1: I repent of my sins, Come into my heart. I'll 442 00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:30,399 Speaker 1: make you my Lord and savior. If you prayed that 443 00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:33,760 Speaker 1: simple prayer, we believe you got born again.
