40
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:51,040
Speaker 4: Thank you Lord.

Speaker 5: We are signing at me in your presence and in

42
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 5: the house of the Lord. Amen. Have you ever had

43
00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:03,480
Speaker 5: an opportunity presented to you and you said no, No,

44
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:04,120
Speaker 5: I don't.

45
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:05,720
Speaker 4: Want to do that, No I can't do that.

46
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:09,600
Speaker 5: Maybe you didn't think you were qualified, or maybe you

47
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:12,320
Speaker 5: thought there was someone else better for the job, or

48
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:14,840
Speaker 5: maybe you just didn't have the resources. You know, there's

49
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:19,160
Speaker 5: numbers of reasons that we say no when certain opportunities

50
00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:23,640
Speaker 5: present themselves. But then have you ever done that and

51
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:26,800
Speaker 5: then later got to thinking, ugh, what do I say

52
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 5: no for?

53
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:30,840
Speaker 4: I wish i'd have done that? Maybe I could have

54
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:31,280
Speaker 4: done that.

55
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:37,680
Speaker 5: Have you ever wrestled with the no before thinking maybe

56
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:42,520
Speaker 5: I could, Oh, maybe I should. You see, I'll never

57
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 5: forget one time when Joel's father was the pastor of

58
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:48,000
Speaker 5: the church back in the old building, and we were

59
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:50,800
Speaker 5: worshiping God. It was in the middle of our worship,

60
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:53,560
Speaker 5: just like we were doing today. My hands were up,

61
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:57,680
Speaker 5: I was praising God. When I opened my eyes, Joel's

62
00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:00,799
Speaker 5: father had turned around in his seat and looked at

63
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:04,520
Speaker 5: me and said, Victoria, why don't you go up.

64
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:05,520
Speaker 4: And do the prayer time?

65
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:11,079
Speaker 5: Well, he wasn't talking about next week or the next week.

66
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:13,720
Speaker 5: He was talking about the end of the song that

67
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:17,320
Speaker 5: was just about over. I'm sure I looked at him

68
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:20,959
Speaker 5: because I had never even remotely given him the thought

69
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:22,880
Speaker 5: that I wanted to get on the platform and do

70
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:23,480
Speaker 5: the prayer time.

71
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:25,000
Speaker 4: I don't even know where he got that.

72
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:31,840
Speaker 5: But I'll never forget chuckling with a nervous laugh, and

73
00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:38,360
Speaker 5: I said, uh, daddy, O, I don't think so, you know,

74
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:42,200
Speaker 5: in his sweet gentle way, he just smiled at me.

75
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:46,600
Speaker 5: He turned around, and he never said anymore to me

76
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:50,840
Speaker 5: during that service. You know, I remember standing there thinking

77
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 5: I didn't need to get out of here. But when

78
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:59,240
Speaker 5: I got home, I was wrestling with that no. I

79
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:02,800
Speaker 5: was so disappoint myself, and really, quite frankly, I was

80
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:06,600
Speaker 5: mad at myself because I thought to myself, if if

81
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 5: he thought I could do it, why do I think

82
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 5: that I can't do it. If someone has faith in me,

83
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:17,599
Speaker 5: why don't I have faith in myself? And I went back,

84
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:19,599
Speaker 5: and I went forth, and I went back, and I

85
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:26,279
Speaker 5: went forth, And as I was wrestling with that, I realized.

86
00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:29,719
Speaker 4: That that no just wasn't satisfactory to me.

87
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 5: So I begin to dig deep, because on the inside

88
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:37,840
Speaker 5: of me, I realized there was a yes, but it

89
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:41,919
Speaker 5: was buried under fear. It was buried under the pretense

90
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:45,080
Speaker 5: that I could not do it. It was buried under

91
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:47,839
Speaker 5: the thought, why does anybody need to hear from me?

92
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:52,320
Speaker 5: You see, that no was not satisfactory to me. So

93
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:55,440
Speaker 5: I began to dig up my yes and I began

94
00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:56,800
Speaker 5: to say, I want to.

95
00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:59,560
Speaker 4: Do it, God, help me do it. God don't want

96
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:00,880
Speaker 4: to give you you my yes.

97
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:05,600
Speaker 5: And through that struggle, I had to make a decision.

98
00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:08,240
Speaker 4: Was I just gonna have one foot in and one

99
00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:09,120
Speaker 4: foot out.

100
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:11,599
Speaker 5: Or was I gonna make a firm decision and say

101
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:14,440
Speaker 5: the next time he asked me, if he ever does,

102
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:16,560
Speaker 5: I'm gonna prepare.

103
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:18,400
Speaker 4: And I'm gonna be ready.

104
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:21,839
Speaker 5: So every time I'd go to church, I'd be praising

105
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:23,400
Speaker 5: with one eye opened, say.

106
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:31,080
Speaker 4: Maybe not today, Lord, but not today Lord. You know

107
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:34,000
Speaker 4: he did ask me again. He did ask me again.

108
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:37,560
Speaker 4: And you know what I did. I mustard up that

109
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:40,760
Speaker 4: great big yess and I got up and I did

110
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:41,560
Speaker 4: the prayer time.

111
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:47,000
Speaker 5: You see what that yes did for me? It kicked

112
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:51,040
Speaker 5: in God's grace. It caused me to begin to rely

113
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:56,000
Speaker 5: on God. I prepared, but then I allowed the grace

114
00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:59,159
Speaker 5: of God to work in me and work through me.

115
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:02,920
Speaker 5: There's a scripture that says that God is working in

116
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:07,440
Speaker 5: us to will and to do his good pleasure. When

117
00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:10,160
Speaker 5: you realize that you don't have to do everything on

118
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:13,320
Speaker 5: your own, and if it gets done, it's only because

119
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:16,600
Speaker 5: of your ability, When you realize that is not always

120
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:18,640
Speaker 5: the case, but that it's.

121
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:22,080
Speaker 4: God who's working in you. It's God who's preparing you.

122
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:24,239
Speaker 4: If you will get.

123
00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:28,880
Speaker 5: Into agreement with God, God can do amazing things in

124
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:29,680
Speaker 5: our lives.

125
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:35,080
Speaker 4: But God needs our yes. He needs to hear our yes.

126
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:40,600
Speaker 5: When I think about how that yes kicked in and

127
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:44,120
Speaker 5: gave me the power to be able to do that,

128
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:46,560
Speaker 5: it was it was a very much of a learning

129
00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:50,719
Speaker 5: experience for me, because see, I didn't realize at the

130
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:54,919
Speaker 5: time that God was up to something. But when I

131
00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:59,080
Speaker 5: look back, I realized that that yes was one step

132
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:03,920
Speaker 5: closer to my destiny. That yes was one step closer

133
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 5: to the next step.

134
00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:06,440
Speaker 4: Now.

135
00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:08,560
Speaker 5: The truth is, I don't know how many times I

136
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:11,119
Speaker 5: ever got back up on the platform when Daddy was there,

137
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:15,280
Speaker 5: But I'll tell you what that experience gave me, the

138
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:20,400
Speaker 5: courage and the boldness when God asked me yes again. Listen,

139
00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:23,880
Speaker 5: if you're struggling with a yes today, if you're struggling

140
00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:27,120
Speaker 5: between yes and no when God talks to you, Maybe

141
00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:29,360
Speaker 5: you don't think you're equipped, Maybe you don't have the

142
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:33,080
Speaker 5: right resources. Maybe there's a plethora of reasons that you

143
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:34,400
Speaker 5: can make excuses.

144
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:38,280
Speaker 4: Can I tell you make a decision just settle it

145
00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:39,000
Speaker 4: in your mind.

146
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:41,160
Speaker 5: If God wants me to do it, I'm gonna give

147
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:42,880
Speaker 5: him my yess and I'm.

148
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:46,360
Speaker 4: Gonna prepare and move forward.

149
00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:49,040
Speaker 5: Because let me tell you something, Just like my father

150
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:51,840
Speaker 5: in law asked me and I said no, he didn't

151
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:55,320
Speaker 5: hold that no against me, and your heavenly Father is

152
00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:56,200
Speaker 5: not gonna hold.

153
00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:58,040
Speaker 4: That no against you. You may have.

154
00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:00,760
Speaker 5: Said no time and time again, but I can tell you,

155
00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:04,200
Speaker 5: just like my father in law, God's gonna ask you again.

156
00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:08,360
Speaker 5: He's gonna ask you again. So I encourage you to

157
00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:12,880
Speaker 5: make a decision to give God your yes. Hold on

158
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:15,760
Speaker 5: to the promises of God. Listen to what it says

159
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:18,960
Speaker 5: in Second Corinthians one twenty. It says, for no matter

160
00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:23,400
Speaker 5: how many promises God has made, they are yes in Christ.

161
00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:29,480
Speaker 5: And so through Him we speak the amen. Through him

162
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:34,720
Speaker 5: who speaks the Amen, who speaks the yes, we speak

163
00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:39,439
Speaker 5: the yes. God's promises are gonna stand forever. They will remain.

164
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:43,320
Speaker 5: But He is looking for us to say yes. He

165
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:46,040
Speaker 5: is looking for us to take that step of faith,

166
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:49,280
Speaker 5: to say God, I'm all in No matter what it

167
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:55,320
Speaker 5: looks like. Hey, what in the world does yes look

168
00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:58,400
Speaker 5: like to you today? What does it look like to

169
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:01,720
Speaker 5: you today? What does your yes look like when you

170
00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:05,920
Speaker 5: think about God? Yes, God, I am gonna forgive the

171
00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:10,240
Speaker 5: people that hurt me. Yes, God, I'm gonna trust you

172
00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:14,440
Speaker 5: in this very difficult time. God, I am all in

173
00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:17,560
Speaker 5: with you God, knowing that you can bring about favor

174
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:18,520
Speaker 5: in my situation.

175
00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:22,559
Speaker 4: Yes, God, I'm wanna begin to.

176
00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:25,320
Speaker 5: Reach out to people, even if I don't feel like

177
00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:26,199
Speaker 5: I have time.

178
00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:28,640
Speaker 4: God, I know that you can make up that time

179
00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:31,480
Speaker 4: for me. Maybe you just need.

180
00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:34,960
Speaker 5: To surrender some things in your life and say yes God,

181
00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:37,280
Speaker 5: it is time for you to work through me. I'm

182
00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:39,520
Speaker 5: gonna quit try to doing it on my own and God,

183
00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:41,880
Speaker 5: I'm just gonna say yes to you. I'm gonna take

184
00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:44,079
Speaker 5: that step of faith God and let you open those

185
00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:45,480
Speaker 5: supernatural doors for me.

186
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:49,440
Speaker 4: What does your yes look like today?

187
00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:53,160
Speaker 5: Because God is waiting on you to get into agreement

188
00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:56,360
Speaker 5: with him, and as soon as you say yes to God,

189
00:09:56,720 --> 00:10:00,400
Speaker 5: guess what, the grace of God kicks in. You're not

190
00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:02,920
Speaker 5: on your own. God doesn't want you to do it

191
00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:05,520
Speaker 5: on your own. God wants you to do it with

192
00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:09,600
Speaker 5: Him in partnership and agreement with Him. And you know what,

193
00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:13,560
Speaker 5: you can say Yes, I think about the saints of old,

194
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:16,319
Speaker 5: they wavered in their yes, they wavered in their no.

195
00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:19,319
Speaker 5: One day they were believers, the next day they were

196
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:23,400
Speaker 5: denying Jesus. Listen, God is not gonna hold your no

197
00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:28,320
Speaker 5: against you, but make some firm decisions to say, I

198
00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:30,880
Speaker 5: am gonna trust God in this, no matter what it

199
00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:33,439
Speaker 5: looks like, no matter how scared I am.

200
00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:37,840
Speaker 4: No matter how buried that yes is in my spirit.

201
00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:40,240
Speaker 4: I'm gonna dig it up. I'm gonna work it out.

202
00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:43,120
Speaker 5: Because the Bible talks about this. It says you have

203
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:45,400
Speaker 5: to hold fast your profession of faith.

204
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:47,960
Speaker 4: You have to hold fast that yes.

205
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:51,280
Speaker 5: See that indicates that something is gonna try to take

206
00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:52,240
Speaker 5: that yes from you.

207
00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:55,120
Speaker 4: And we're very well aware.

208
00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:59,080
Speaker 5: That time tries to steal our yes. People try to

209
00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:03,400
Speaker 5: steal our yes. All these nose and shut doors try

210
00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:06,760
Speaker 5: to steal our yes. But you know what, we're gonna

211
00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:09,520
Speaker 5: have to step over a lot of nose and hold

212
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:10,640
Speaker 5: fast to that yes.

213
00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:11,959
Speaker 4: Hold it tight.

214
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:16,360
Speaker 5: See, it's not just in your ability, It's in God's

215
00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:21,120
Speaker 5: ability through you. It's in him opening supernatural doors.

216
00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:23,679
Speaker 4: Can I tell you is it gonna be easy?

217
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:29,280
Speaker 5: Absolutely not? Is it worth it? Absolutely it is. God

218
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:31,840
Speaker 5: is a God of miracles, and he wants to take

219
00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:36,280
Speaker 5: you step by step, but he needs your aimen, he

220
00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:40,960
Speaker 5: needs your agreement. Think about Noah. When God came to

221
00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:42,640
Speaker 5: Noah and spoke to Noah and said.

222
00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:44,199
Speaker 4: Noah, I want you to build an arc.

223
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:48,000
Speaker 5: Noah had no idea first off, what a boat was,

224
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:51,080
Speaker 5: what an arc was, because no one had seen rain,

225
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:55,360
Speaker 5: It had literally never rained. The theologians said, but you

226
00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:59,679
Speaker 5: know what Noah did? He said, yes God. So he

227
00:11:59,840 --> 00:12:04,400
Speaker 5: was fighting the odds because no one had ever seen rain,

228
00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:07,200
Speaker 5: and no one wanted to get into agreement with his yes.

229
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:11,040
Speaker 4: But he said, I'm going to stay in agreement with God. Yes.

230
00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:15,000
Speaker 5: And he kept building that arc. It took years and years.

231
00:12:15,240 --> 00:12:19,360
Speaker 5: People made fun of him. They even said Noah is crazy.

232
00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:22,600
Speaker 5: He and his family are crazy people. But what did

233
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:26,040
Speaker 5: Noah keep doing. He kept pounding the nails, He kept

234
00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:30,120
Speaker 5: saying yes in his obedience to God. And let me

235
00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:33,760
Speaker 5: tell you something. Noah's arc stands as a monument today,

236
00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:37,720
Speaker 5: a sign of God's goodness, a sign of God's agreement.

237
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:41,640
Speaker 5: You see, we are in covenant with this great God

238
00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:46,120
Speaker 5: and he wants your yes. I have a friend of

239
00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:50,560
Speaker 5: mine who who has a large family, many siblings, and

240
00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:53,600
Speaker 5: she made a decision to say yes to God in

241
00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:55,720
Speaker 5: a new way. And what I mean by that is

242
00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:57,400
Speaker 5: she was going to let go of some of her

243
00:12:57,480 --> 00:13:00,319
Speaker 5: past habits and she was going to start serve God

244
00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:03,160
Speaker 5: in a fresh new way because He had given her

245
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:06,960
Speaker 5: an impression to do it differently. Well, let me tell

246
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:10,360
Speaker 5: you something. Her family didn't think that was so keen.

247
00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:11,680
Speaker 4: In fact, they.

248
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:15,400
Speaker 5: Made ugly remarks to her. They literally quit inviting her

249
00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:19,160
Speaker 5: to certain gatherings because she had a new commitment to God.

250
00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:23,120
Speaker 4: But can I tell you she stayed faithful to her commitment.

251
00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:26,640
Speaker 5: She held on tight to that yes even when she

252
00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:30,400
Speaker 5: wasn't invited to things. She continued to be kind to

253
00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:33,160
Speaker 5: her family, show love, and when they did advite her,

254
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:36,800
Speaker 5: she showed up with all.

255
00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:40,679
Speaker 4: Of her blessings to them. Can I tell you today, after.

256
00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:43,520
Speaker 5: Years and years of holding on to that yes, staying committed,

257
00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:47,439
Speaker 5: making that decision even when it was tough, even when

258
00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:51,800
Speaker 5: it would have been easier to go back, her yes

259
00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:55,440
Speaker 5: stands as an anchor of hope to her family, and

260
00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:58,920
Speaker 5: many of them have come back to Jesus Christ because

261
00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:00,200
Speaker 5: of that yes.

262
00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:07,280
Speaker 4: Is our yes always easy no, but our yes.

263
00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:10,559
Speaker 5: Is always worth it? When we serve a mighty God.

264
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:15,400
Speaker 5: Get up every day reconfirm your Yes. Yes God, I

265
00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:17,800
Speaker 5: am yours. Yes God, what do you want me to

266
00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:21,360
Speaker 5: do today? Yes, God, I will trust you, I will forgive,

267
00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:23,120
Speaker 5: I will take that step of faith.

268
00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:23,640
Speaker 4: God.

269
00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:27,000
Speaker 5: I believe that when I get into agreement with you,

270
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:28,880
Speaker 5: You're gonna do what I can't do.
