00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:03,360
Speaker 1: Hi, this is Joeln Victoria. Thanks for listening to our

2
00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:06,640
Speaker 1: podcast and thanks for supporting the ministry. If you enjoy

Speaker 1: it with a friend, reappreciate you, and pray for God's

5
00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:15,600
Speaker 1: very best in your life. Well, God bless you. It's

00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:18,120
Speaker 1: a joy to come into your homes. And if you're

Speaker 1: ever in our area, please stop buy and be a

8
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:23,919
Speaker 1: part of one of our services. I promise you we'll

9
00:00:23,920 --> 00:00:26,640
Speaker 1: make you feel right at home. I like to start

10
00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:29,200
Speaker 1: with something funny, and I heard about this man that

11
00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:33,120
Speaker 1: was very stingy with his money. Just before his death,

12
00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:36,240
Speaker 1: he made his wife promise that she would have him

13
00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:39,760
Speaker 1: buried with the fifty thousand dollars he had saved. His

14
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:44,280
Speaker 1: wife reluctantly agreed. At the funeral, right before they closed

15
00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:48,240
Speaker 1: the casket, She's snuck in this small wooden box. Her

16
00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:52,240
Speaker 1: friend said, surely you didn't just bury the money. She said,

17
00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:55,160
Speaker 1: of course I did. I'm a Christian. I can't lie.

18
00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:58,880
Speaker 1: The friend said, you mean you just buried fifty thousand dollars.

19
00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:04,080
Speaker 1: She said, yes, I wrote a check. Say it like

20
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:07,240
Speaker 1: you mean it. This is my Bible. I am what

21
00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:09,960
Speaker 1: it says I am. I have what it says I have.

22
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:13,240
Speaker 1: I can do what it says I can do. Today

23
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:17,080
Speaker 1: I will be taught the word of God. I boldly confess.

24
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:21,240
Speaker 1: My mind is alert, my heart is receptive. I will

25
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:25,200
Speaker 1: never be the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you.

26
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:29,840
Speaker 1: I want to talk to you today about believing when

27
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:33,560
Speaker 1: you're not seeing. It's easy to believe when things are

28
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:37,839
Speaker 1: going our way. We're getting good breaks, our health is improving,

29
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:41,920
Speaker 1: our child is turning around. When you can see it,

30
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:45,680
Speaker 1: it doesn't take much faith. The test comes when you

31
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:49,760
Speaker 1: can't see any sign of what you're believing for. You're

32
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:53,920
Speaker 1: working hard, but doors aren't opening. You're praying, but the

33
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:57,600
Speaker 1: medical report isn't improving. You're doing the right thing, but

34
00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:01,120
Speaker 1: your marriage isn't getting better. You know, God put the

35
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:04,360
Speaker 1: promise in your heart. You know he gave you the dream,

36
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:08,360
Speaker 1: but there's no sign that is happening. If you just

37
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:12,320
Speaker 1: saw a little improvement, if you just felt a little better,

38
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:15,160
Speaker 1: at least you would know that what you were doing

39
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:20,280
Speaker 1: was helping. But many times before a promise comes to pass,

40
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:24,399
Speaker 1: you have to go through a season of silence where

41
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 1: you're not seeing anything changing. You'll be tempted to think,

42
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:33,240
Speaker 1: is what I'm doing even working? Is my believing, my praying,

43
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:37,240
Speaker 1: my giving, even making a difference. This is when many

44
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:41,200
Speaker 1: people get discouraged and give up on what they're believing for.

45
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:46,079
Speaker 1: But just because you don't see anything happening doesn't mean

46
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:50,960
Speaker 1: God is not working behind the scenes. Things are changing

47
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:55,080
Speaker 1: that you can't see. God does much of his work

48
00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 1: in secret. You can't see him lining up the people

49
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 1: you need. You can't see him arranging good breaks for you.

50
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:08,200
Speaker 1: You can't see him sending the angel with your promise,

51
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:12,440
Speaker 1: putting the healing, the promotion, the vindication on your schedule.

52
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:17,239
Speaker 1: All you can see is Joel, I'm praying and nothing's happening.

53
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:21,640
Speaker 1: I'm doing my best, but nothing's improving. You're in a

54
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 1: season of silence. The question is are you going to

55
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:30,760
Speaker 1: get discouraged and quit believing because you're not seeing, or

56
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:33,680
Speaker 1: you're going to dig your heels in and say, God,

57
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:37,400
Speaker 1: I may not see anything happening, but I'm not moved

58
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:39,920
Speaker 1: by what I see. I'm moved by what I know,

59
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:43,320
Speaker 1: and I know what you promised me is on the way.

60
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:47,760
Speaker 1: If you'll stay in faith, at some point you're going

61
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:52,200
Speaker 1: to see what God was doing behind the scenes. Suddenly

62
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:55,280
Speaker 1: things are going to shift in your favor. What happened,

63
00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 1: You saw what God was up to all those months,

64
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:03,920
Speaker 1: even years you didn't think anything was happening. Behind the scenes,

65
00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:08,840
Speaker 1: things were coming together. And sometimes it hasn't happened yet

66
00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 1: because another person involved is not ready. God is working

67
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:17,760
Speaker 1: on someone else who's a part of your story. Or

68
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:22,320
Speaker 1: when that obstacle wasn't changing, you didn't realize it, but

69
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:26,520
Speaker 1: God was using the obstacle to change you. You were growing,

70
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:31,200
Speaker 1: getting stronger, developing patients. If he would have removed it sooner,

71
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:35,160
Speaker 1: you wouldn't be prepared for where He's taken you. But

72
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:39,760
Speaker 1: the scripture says, don't get weary in well doing, for

73
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:43,760
Speaker 1: in due season you will reap if you faint. Not

74
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:48,599
Speaker 1: it doesn't say you may reap. There's a good chance

75
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:52,680
Speaker 1: you'll reap. God says if you won't get tired of

76
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:56,039
Speaker 1: doing the right thing, if you won't let what you

77
00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:59,920
Speaker 1: see talk you out of what you know, then you're

78
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:03,440
Speaker 1: the due season is coming. You will reap if you

79
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:07,400
Speaker 1: don't faint. But God wouldn't have told us to not

80
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:11,680
Speaker 1: get weary in well doing if he didn't know it

81
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:15,120
Speaker 1: would be easy to get tired of doing what's right.

82
00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:19,039
Speaker 1: It's easy to get worn down. Think it's never going

83
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:22,080
Speaker 1: to work out, my marriage is never going to make it,

84
00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:25,480
Speaker 1: my business is never going to grow. No, get your

85
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 1: fire back. Your due season is closer than you think.

86
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:33,760
Speaker 1: In the scripture, it compares the life of a believer

87
00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:37,599
Speaker 1: to an eagle. When a mother eagle is going to

88
00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:41,839
Speaker 1: have a baby eglet, she lays an egg for thirty

89
00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:44,839
Speaker 1: five days. She has to sit on the egg to

90
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:49,080
Speaker 1: keep it warm. She never feels the baby eglet kick.

91
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:53,960
Speaker 1: The egg never grows any larger. There's no sign that

92
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:57,560
Speaker 1: what's on the inside of the egg is alive. The

93
00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:00,800
Speaker 1: mother eagle could think, if it was a life, at

94
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:03,560
Speaker 1: least it would move a little bit, at least I

95
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:08,080
Speaker 1: would hear something. But day after day the mother eagle

96
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:13,480
Speaker 1: sits unmoved by what she doesn't feel, unmoved by what's

97
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:18,320
Speaker 1: not changing. On the thirty fifth day, after no signs

98
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:22,800
Speaker 1: of life, suddenly the little eagle it starts pecking out

99
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:27,039
Speaker 1: of the shell. Before long, it hatches, healthy and whole.

100
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:30,960
Speaker 1: But think about the faith it takes for that mother

101
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:36,560
Speaker 1: eagle to sit on an egg that seems dead unlike

102
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:40,359
Speaker 1: a person. When a lady is going to have a baby,

103
00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:44,600
Speaker 1: we have all these signs. Their stomach gets bigger, their

104
00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:48,160
Speaker 1: feet may swell, their back may hurt, they may get meaner.

105
00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:52,240
Speaker 1: I mean, they may have morning sickness. Their womb begins

106
00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:57,400
Speaker 1: to grow over time, it's obvious you can see the

107
00:06:57,440 --> 00:07:02,480
Speaker 1: baby is developing. When Victory was pregnant with Jonathan, we

108
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:05,360
Speaker 1: were driving down the road and I turned on some music.

109
00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:10,000
Speaker 1: Just like clockwork, he started kicking in the wound like

110
00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:12,680
Speaker 1: he was keeping beat to the music. You could see

111
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:15,600
Speaker 1: a leg coming out here and elbow coming out there.

112
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:19,440
Speaker 1: We had no doubt that he was coming. Those last

113
00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:22,920
Speaker 1: six months. We never once thought, I wonder if he's

114
00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:26,360
Speaker 1: in there. I wonder if he's alive. We didn't have

115
00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:30,960
Speaker 1: to wonder. We could see it. If God brought promises

116
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:35,280
Speaker 1: to pass, like a person giving birth, it would be

117
00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:39,080
Speaker 1: no problem to stay in faith. It would be easy

118
00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:42,120
Speaker 1: to thank him that it was on the way. But

119
00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:45,320
Speaker 1: most of the time it won't be like a person.

120
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:48,680
Speaker 1: It will be like an eagle. You're going to have

121
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:52,720
Speaker 1: to believe something is happening when you can't see any

122
00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:55,720
Speaker 1: sign of it. You're going to have to sit on

123
00:07:55,800 --> 00:08:01,600
Speaker 1: that promise, believing, expecting, praying thing. When you're not getting

124
00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:05,400
Speaker 1: any kicks, when you're not seeing any growth, when the

125
00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:09,600
Speaker 1: egg is not moving, you don't hear any sounds. Deep down,

126
00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:14,680
Speaker 1: you have to know something is happening that you can't see.

127
00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:17,720
Speaker 1: After a couple of weeks, the mother eagle could think

128
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:22,320
Speaker 1: I'm wasting my time. By now, something should be happening.

129
00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:25,679
Speaker 1: I don't see any sign that what's in this egg

130
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:30,960
Speaker 1: is alive. But there's something in her DNA, something put

131
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:34,120
Speaker 1: in her by the creator that says, I don't have

132
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:37,079
Speaker 1: to see a sign. I don't have to feel a kick.

133
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:40,800
Speaker 1: I know my baby is alive. I know my duce

134
00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:44,360
Speaker 1: season is coming. I know on the thirty fifth day,

135
00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:48,760
Speaker 1: this baby eaglet is going to hatch. You may have

136
00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:51,920
Speaker 1: promises that you've been standing on for a long time,

137
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:56,199
Speaker 1: dreams God has put in your heart. Every circumstance says

138
00:08:56,520 --> 00:09:00,440
Speaker 1: it's never going to happen. What you're believing for is dead.

139
00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:03,520
Speaker 1: It would have kicked by now, you would have seen

140
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:08,520
Speaker 1: some improvement, some grow No, don't believe those lies. Keep

141
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:12,320
Speaker 1: sitting on that egg, keep thanking God that is coming,

142
00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:16,560
Speaker 1: Keep talking like it's on the way. Keep expecting things

143
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:20,960
Speaker 1: to change in your favor. Our attitude should be what

144
00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:24,600
Speaker 1: God promised me. May look dead, but I know, like

145
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:28,360
Speaker 1: that eagle, what He put in my spirit is still alive.

146
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:32,320
Speaker 1: It doesn't have to KIT. I'm not moved by what

147
00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:35,760
Speaker 1: I feel. I'm not moved by how long it's taking,

148
00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:39,760
Speaker 1: by what's not working out. I know what God started

149
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:43,600
Speaker 1: in my life. He's going to finish what am I saying.

150
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:49,040
Speaker 1: Quit being discouraged because you haven't felt a KIT. Nothing

151
00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:52,559
Speaker 1: is wrong. That doesn't mean it's not going to happen.

152
00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:57,520
Speaker 1: You have to trust the process. While you're waiting, things

153
00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:01,920
Speaker 1: are growing, things are developing. God is bringing it together.

154
00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:07,080
Speaker 1: He works in secret. You may not see any improvement.

155
00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:11,120
Speaker 1: You may not see what God is up to. If

156
00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:14,360
Speaker 1: the mother eagle could peck a little hole in the

157
00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:17,960
Speaker 1: shell and see her baby, it would be so much

158
00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:22,240
Speaker 1: easier to believe. I saw him. He's in there. Now

159
00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:25,840
Speaker 1: I can sit on this egg with confidence. The problem

160
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:31,160
Speaker 1: is the eaglet wouldn't survive. Some things have to develop

161
00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:35,320
Speaker 1: in the dark in secret. If you could see the

162
00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:39,960
Speaker 1: promise coming, if God showed us what he was up to, yes,

163
00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:43,040
Speaker 1: it wouldn't be as difficult to believe, but that wouldn't

164
00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:47,160
Speaker 1: take any faith. You have to believe when there's no

165
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:51,160
Speaker 1: sign on the outside that what's on the inside is

166
00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:55,640
Speaker 1: still alive the promise God put in you. That egg,

167
00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:59,040
Speaker 1: so to speak, is not going to move, not going

168
00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:02,679
Speaker 1: to grow, not going to kick. You may not see

169
00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:06,920
Speaker 1: any signs of life until the thirty fifth day, until

170
00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:11,000
Speaker 1: you're due season, when suddenly that baby eaglet is going

171
00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:14,920
Speaker 1: to hatch. But there's something God has put in your

172
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:20,240
Speaker 1: DNA where you can believe when every circumstance says it's

173
00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:24,480
Speaker 1: not going to happen. The odds may be against you today,

174
00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:29,280
Speaker 1: your dream seems impossible, medical reports not improving, You've struggled

175
00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:33,120
Speaker 1: with the addiction for years. Looks like the promise is dead.

176
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:37,160
Speaker 1: You're tempted to walk away from the nest, forget about

177
00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:40,480
Speaker 1: the egg hasn't seen any signs of life, or God

178
00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:43,960
Speaker 1: is saying, go back and sit on it. It is

179
00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:49,080
Speaker 1: still alive. Don't let the circumstances fool you. Just because

180
00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:52,920
Speaker 1: you don't see anything happening on the outside doesn't mean

181
00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:57,160
Speaker 1: something is not happening on the inside. Well, Joel, I've

182
00:11:57,200 --> 00:12:00,000
Speaker 1: never felt my baby kick. It's not going to kick

183
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:04,200
Speaker 1: hicking the egg. God burst things like an eagle, not

184
00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:07,400
Speaker 1: like a person. We have to walk by faith and

185
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:11,640
Speaker 1: not by sight. The Israelites were traveling through the desert,

186
00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:15,080
Speaker 1: headed toward the Promised Land when they came to the

187
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:19,480
Speaker 1: city of Jericho. This was the last city that stood

188
00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:23,200
Speaker 1: between them and the city of Canaan, the land God

189
00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:28,560
Speaker 1: promised them. Jericho was surrounded by a huge stone wall.

190
00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:32,160
Speaker 1: It was so thick that chariots could ride on top

191
00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:36,920
Speaker 1: of it. God told Joshua to have the Israelites march

192
00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:40,840
Speaker 1: around the walls for seven days. Without saying a word.

193
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:44,240
Speaker 1: These two million people went out and once a day

194
00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:49,000
Speaker 1: started walking around the wall. First day, nothing happened. Second

195
00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:54,280
Speaker 1: day nothing, It was hot, dusty. They were already tired,

196
00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:57,800
Speaker 1: worn out from traveling through the desert. Went around the

197
00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:02,199
Speaker 1: fourth day nothing. The fifth time, I can imagine they

198
00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:05,760
Speaker 1: started to get discouraged, thinking, what are we doing out here?

199
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:10,600
Speaker 1: We look like fools. Nothing is even happening. It wouldn't

200
00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:13,920
Speaker 1: have been so difficult to believe if while they were

201
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:18,120
Speaker 1: walking around they saw a little crack in the wall

202
00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:21,800
Speaker 1: start to form. Maybe the fourth time around, some of

203
00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:25,000
Speaker 1: the rocks up top broke apart. The next time around,

204
00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:28,520
Speaker 1: the foundation begin to loosen up. If they would have

205
00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:33,240
Speaker 1: just seen a sign that things were improving, something to

206
00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:37,920
Speaker 1: encourage them. A little crack here and there, but nothing

207
00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:42,400
Speaker 1: was changing. They were sitting on that egg, doing what

208
00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:47,079
Speaker 1: God asked them to do, walking around a city, not complaining.

209
00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:51,720
Speaker 1: They were doing their part. Why wasn't God doing his part?

210
00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:56,840
Speaker 1: God works in secret in that egg. You can't see

211
00:13:56,880 --> 00:14:02,520
Speaker 1: the eaglet developing. The Israelites like it. They were uncomfortable,

212
00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:05,960
Speaker 1: But here's the key. They kept doing the right thing.

213
00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:10,880
Speaker 1: They didn't get weary in well doing. On the seventh day,

214
00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:15,680
Speaker 1: the seventh time around, still no sign of the wall weakening.

215
00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:19,680
Speaker 1: Still look just as strong, sturdy, like it did before

216
00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:24,120
Speaker 1: they started. But when they completed that seventh lap, suddenly

217
00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:28,280
Speaker 1: the walls came tumbling down. They came into their due season,

218
00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:33,240
Speaker 1: their thirty fifth day. But too often we'll stay in faith.

219
00:14:33,600 --> 00:14:37,480
Speaker 1: If we see the wall cracking, we'll believe. If our

220
00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:40,880
Speaker 1: boss starts treating us better, if our health starts improving,

221
00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:44,760
Speaker 1: we're waiting for the baby to kick. God, give me

222
00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:47,840
Speaker 1: a sign, show me something that you're going to turn

223
00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:51,400
Speaker 1: this around. What I'm saying is you may not get

224
00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:54,640
Speaker 1: a sign. That's when you have to dig down deep

225
00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:57,840
Speaker 1: and say, am I going to get up off this egg?

226
00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:00,760
Speaker 1: Am I going to let what I'm doing not seeing

227
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:05,040
Speaker 1: convinced me what I'm believing for is dead? It's too late,

228
00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:08,840
Speaker 1: the obstacle's too big. Or am I going to do

229
00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:12,960
Speaker 1: like the Israelites and keep marching even though there is

230
00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:16,760
Speaker 1: no sign. Keep thanking God even though it's not improving,

231
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:21,600
Speaker 1: keep expecting, even though the baby is not kicking. You

232
00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:25,040
Speaker 1: keep doing the right thing, and your thirty fifth day

233
00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:28,880
Speaker 1: is coming. What you thought was dead, you didn't see

234
00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:33,000
Speaker 1: any signs of life. Suddenly that baby EGLT is going

235
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:36,160
Speaker 1: to burst forth. A friend of mine that I grew

236
00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:40,440
Speaker 1: up with was believing to have a baby for many years.

237
00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:44,360
Speaker 1: She and her husband had tried and tried with no success.

238
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:47,880
Speaker 1: We were all standing in faith with her, believing and

239
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:52,080
Speaker 1: praying that no baby. She'd gone to doctors. They told

240
00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:54,640
Speaker 1: her there was nothing more they could do. She wouldn't

241
00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:57,840
Speaker 1: be able to have children. She's a little bit older

242
00:15:57,840 --> 00:16:01,000
Speaker 1: than I am, and I was in my four I

243
00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:04,720
Speaker 1: thought it's too late. Now, surely she'll accept it and

244
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:08,400
Speaker 1: move on. Maybe she can adopt, Maybe she can do

245
00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:13,200
Speaker 1: something else with children. That never entered her mind. She

246
00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:17,440
Speaker 1: was always talking about having a baby. It was never if,

247
00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:21,880
Speaker 1: it was always. When she even made a baby's room

248
00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:26,160
Speaker 1: in her house, had it all decorated ready for the child.

249
00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:30,520
Speaker 1: She was constantly thanking God that her baby was on

250
00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:34,520
Speaker 1: the way, talking like it could happen tomorrow. She could

251
00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:38,200
Speaker 1: have easily walked away from the nest. I thought, this

252
00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:42,280
Speaker 1: egg doesn't just look dead. It is dead. Would have

253
00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:46,080
Speaker 1: happened by now. But when God puts a promise in

254
00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:50,560
Speaker 1: your heart, you have to have a never say die attitude.

255
00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:54,280
Speaker 1: You may not see how it can happen. It seems

256
00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:58,680
Speaker 1: too late, you're too old, the obstacle's too big. You

257
00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:01,400
Speaker 1: can come up with a thou and reasons why it's

258
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:04,920
Speaker 1: not going to work out. Don't talk yourself out of it.

259
00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:09,320
Speaker 1: Do like her, Keep thanking God that it's on the way,

260
00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:13,800
Speaker 1: Keep believing when it's not improving, Keep sitting on that egg,

261
00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:18,560
Speaker 1: not moved by what's not changing, walking by faith and

262
00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:22,960
Speaker 1: not by sight. Twenty years later, she walked in one

263
00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:27,320
Speaker 1: day and said, I'm pregnant. She wasn't saying it by faith.

264
00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:30,320
Speaker 1: It was a reality. She not only gave birth to

265
00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:34,040
Speaker 1: one baby. She gave birth to twins at fifty three

266
00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:40,120
Speaker 1: years old. Now, don't walk away from that nest. Don't

267
00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:43,919
Speaker 1: get discouraged because you haven't felt a kick. God is

268
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:47,840
Speaker 1: working on the inside. What you can't see is the

269
00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:52,879
Speaker 1: promise is growing. It's developing. The outside looks the same.

270
00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:56,440
Speaker 1: You may not see any improvement. But if you will

271
00:17:56,480 --> 00:18:00,000
Speaker 1: stay in faith like with her, what God has spoken

272
00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:05,080
Speaker 1: over you is on the way. God told Abraham that

273
00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:07,679
Speaker 1: he and his wife Sarah was going to have a baby.

274
00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:11,920
Speaker 1: Sarah had been burn all these years. Now they were

275
00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:15,320
Speaker 1: way too old to have children. But the scripture says

276
00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:20,520
Speaker 1: Abraham considered not the weakness of his own body nor

277
00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:25,600
Speaker 1: the deadness of Sarah's womb. When Abraham looked at that promise,

278
00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:30,440
Speaker 1: everything in him said it's dead. You're way too old

279
00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:34,000
Speaker 1: to have a baby. All the circumstances said it would

280
00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:39,080
Speaker 1: never happen. But here's the key. Abraham considered not what

281
00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:43,960
Speaker 1: looked dead. He wasn't moved by what he saw. You

282
00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:47,200
Speaker 1: may have situations that look like they'll never work out.

283
00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:50,480
Speaker 1: You don't see how you could get well, how you'll

284
00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:54,680
Speaker 1: meet the right person, how you'll break the addiction. If

285
00:18:54,720 --> 00:18:59,440
Speaker 1: you only consider that, you'll get discouraged and quit believing

286
00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:04,040
Speaker 1: you have to do like Abraham. Don't consider your circumstances,

287
00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:09,400
Speaker 1: consider your God. I'm sure many times Abraham was tempted

288
00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:12,920
Speaker 1: to walk away from the nest. They didn't see any

289
00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:16,600
Speaker 1: sign of it happening. Year after year went by with

290
00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:21,040
Speaker 1: no baby. They never felt a kick, never saw Sarah's

291
00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:26,159
Speaker 1: womb growing. In the meantime, Abraham made mistakes, had a

292
00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:30,600
Speaker 1: baby with another lady that wasn't the promised child. Twenty

293
00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:34,480
Speaker 1: five years after God gave him the promise, God came

294
00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:38,280
Speaker 1: back to Abraham and said, now Sarah is going to

295
00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:42,560
Speaker 1: have a baby. A year later, at ninety years old,

296
00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:47,160
Speaker 1: she gave birth to a son. What's interesting is no

297
00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:51,120
Speaker 1: one had ever had a baby at that age. It's

298
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:54,880
Speaker 1: one thing if you had seen it happened before, If

299
00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:58,359
Speaker 1: you knew your neighbor had given birth at close to ninety,

300
00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:00,800
Speaker 1: or you saw on the news as a lady gave

301
00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:04,560
Speaker 1: birth at ninety, at least you could look back and say, God,

302
00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:06,760
Speaker 1: you did it for them, I know you can do

303
00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:09,080
Speaker 1: it for me. At least you would know it was

304
00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:14,520
Speaker 1: possible this had never happened. They had no point of reference.

305
00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:19,480
Speaker 1: God has some things in your future that have never happened.

306
00:20:19,880 --> 00:20:22,480
Speaker 1: You're going to be the first one in your family

307
00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:27,240
Speaker 1: to step into new levels of influence, the first one

308
00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:31,040
Speaker 1: to run a successful business, the first one to break

309
00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:34,960
Speaker 1: the addiction, the first one to keep your marriage together.

310
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:41,120
Speaker 1: But when we've never seen this, it's easy to dismiss it, Joe,

311
00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:46,040
Speaker 1: this egg is never going to hatch. No use praying, believing, expecting.

312
00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:50,240
Speaker 1: It's never happened before. No, likee with Abraham and Sarah,

313
00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:54,000
Speaker 1: you're about to give birth to something that you've never seen,

314
00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:57,399
Speaker 1: something that's going to catapult you to a new level,

315
00:20:57,760 --> 00:21:01,399
Speaker 1: something where people can see the favor of God is

316
00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:05,440
Speaker 1: on your line. Now. Instead of considering how big your

317
00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:09,440
Speaker 1: obstacles are, why don't you start considering how big your

318
00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:13,960
Speaker 1: God is. He flung stars into space, He spoke worlds

319
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:18,719
Speaker 1: into existence. What you're up against may seem impossible, but

320
00:21:18,840 --> 00:21:22,240
Speaker 1: God can do the impossible. He can make things happen

321
00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:26,240
Speaker 1: that we could never make happen. Victoria taught to a

322
00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:30,520
Speaker 1: young lady named Sabrina. At seventeen years of age, she

323
00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:33,800
Speaker 1: went into check on her nine month old son and

324
00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:37,879
Speaker 1: discovered he wasn't breathing. She grabbed him, rushed to the

325
00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:43,480
Speaker 1: neighbor's house, and frantically started doing CPR. Unfortunately, the little

326
00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:48,040
Speaker 1: boy didn't make it. When the prosecutors saw the bruises

327
00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:52,200
Speaker 1: on his chest from the CPR, they accused the mother

328
00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:57,080
Speaker 1: of abuse that caused his death. The neighbors told how

329
00:21:57,119 --> 00:22:00,280
Speaker 1: that wasn't the case, but they didn't believe them. A

330
00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:03,800
Speaker 1: year later, she was found guilty of taking her son's

331
00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:08,840
Speaker 1: life and sentenced to death. Eighteen years of age, sitting

332
00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:12,520
Speaker 1: in a prison cell twenty three hours a day didn't

333
00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:16,280
Speaker 1: look like she could fulfill her destiny. Her dream seemed dead.

334
00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:20,800
Speaker 1: No woman had ever been released from death row. Six

335
00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:24,360
Speaker 1: years later, by the grace of God, she was granted

336
00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:28,000
Speaker 1: a new trial. This time, the neighbors were able to

337
00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:33,160
Speaker 1: testify about the CPR. A medical examiner found the little

338
00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:36,879
Speaker 1: boy had a kidney disease that he believed caused the death.

339
00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:41,680
Speaker 1: December of nineteen ninety five, after six years on death row,

340
00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:47,120
Speaker 1: a jury found her not guilty. She was completely exonerated

341
00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:51,280
Speaker 1: and became the first woman ever to be released from

342
00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:55,479
Speaker 1: death row. I'm sure there were plenty of lonely nights

343
00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:59,240
Speaker 1: in that prison cell where thoughts told her you'll never

344
00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:03,400
Speaker 1: get out. It's never happened before. You can be the first.

345
00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:06,760
Speaker 1: You can be the one to set a new standard.

346
00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:10,560
Speaker 1: Don't be moved by what you don't see, by what

347
00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:14,600
Speaker 1: you don't have, by who's against you. God being for

348
00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:18,560
Speaker 1: you is more than the world being against you. Now,

349
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:22,760
Speaker 1: maybe you're about to step away from the nest. You

350
00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:28,040
Speaker 1: know what God's promised you, but it seems impossible. Nothing's changing.

351
00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:31,920
Speaker 1: Surely it would have happened by now. If you walk away,

352
00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:35,119
Speaker 1: you're going to miss what God is about to do.

353
00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:40,080
Speaker 1: You are closer than you think. Your thirty fifth day

354
00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:43,880
Speaker 1: is going to happen, sooner than it looks. You may

355
00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:47,959
Speaker 1: not see any sign of it now. When that baby

356
00:23:48,040 --> 00:23:51,400
Speaker 1: eaglet is in the egg, you can't tell when it's

357
00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:55,640
Speaker 1: about to break out. Nothing on the outside looks any different.

358
00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:59,119
Speaker 1: The shell seems just the same as it's been day

359
00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:03,480
Speaker 1: after day. But then suddenly, when you didn't see it coming,

360
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:07,760
Speaker 1: when everything looks the same, the door will open, your

361
00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:10,600
Speaker 1: health will turn around, The right person will show up.

362
00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:14,160
Speaker 1: You don't know what God is up to behind the scenes.

363
00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:18,159
Speaker 1: I read where this mother eagle has to keep the

364
00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:21,720
Speaker 1: temperature of the egg at one hundred and five degrees.

365
00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:26,280
Speaker 1: If she doesn't maintain that temperature, the eaglet won't develop.

366
00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:30,760
Speaker 1: So she sits on the egg day after day. She

367
00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:35,159
Speaker 1: could be out gathering food, building another nest, but she

368
00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:39,439
Speaker 1: knows it's vital to keep the egg warm. In the

369
00:24:39,480 --> 00:24:42,800
Speaker 1: same way, you have to keep your promise in a

370
00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:47,280
Speaker 1: warm environment. The way you do this is through praise

371
00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:51,760
Speaker 1: and thanksgiving. Father, Thank you that what you promise me

372
00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:55,560
Speaker 1: is on the way. The medical report doesn't look good,

373
00:24:55,800 --> 00:24:59,000
Speaker 1: but Lord, thank you that you're restoring health back into me.

374
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:03,680
Speaker 1: This is slow, but I'm not moved by what I see. Lord,

375
00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:06,720
Speaker 1: Thank you that I will lend and not borrow. Thank

376
00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:11,040
Speaker 1: You that what I touch will prosper and succeed. Sometimes

377
00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:16,119
Speaker 1: our promise is taking longer to develop because we're complaining

378
00:25:16,560 --> 00:25:20,119
Speaker 1: instead of praising God. Why is this taking so long?

379
00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:22,840
Speaker 1: When is this ever going to change? Now? You have

380
00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:27,040
Speaker 1: to get your promise in a warm environment. Like my

381
00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:30,679
Speaker 1: friend with the baby. For twenty years, she sat on

382
00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:35,000
Speaker 1: that promise. She was constantly thanking God that the baby

383
00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:39,640
Speaker 1: was coming. Abraham did this. He could have complained, God,

384
00:25:39,720 --> 00:25:42,119
Speaker 1: we're too old to have a baby. Why don't you

385
00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:46,880
Speaker 1: find somebody else or the scripture says Abraham grew strong

386
00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:51,200
Speaker 1: in faith by giving praise to God. I can hear

387
00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:54,840
Speaker 1: him all through the day. God, it looks impossible, but

388
00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:57,919
Speaker 1: I know you can do the impossible. Thank you that

389
00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:01,280
Speaker 1: the fruit of Sarah's womb is last. Thank You that

390
00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:04,840
Speaker 1: what you promise me I will become that Father of

391
00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:10,480
Speaker 1: many nations? Is your promise in a warm environment? Are

392
00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:13,840
Speaker 1: you keeping it in an atmosphere of faith, of praise,

393
00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:18,359
Speaker 1: of thanksgiving. You have to maintain the proper temperature for

394
00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:22,080
Speaker 1: the promise to come to pass. I know many of

395
00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:26,720
Speaker 1: you have been doing this. You've been faithful year after year,

396
00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:31,840
Speaker 1: believing when you don't see anything changing. Get ready, your

397
00:26:31,960 --> 00:26:35,200
Speaker 1: thirty fifth day is coming. God is about to do

398
00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:40,800
Speaker 1: something unusual, something that's never happened for you. Now my challenge,

399
00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:44,840
Speaker 1: don't walk away from the nest, don't get weary in

400
00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:49,400
Speaker 1: well doing. Keep believing even though you're not seeing. If

401
00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:53,520
Speaker 1: you'll do this, I believe and declare what you thought

402
00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:57,520
Speaker 1: was dead. Things you didn't see any improvement, They're about

403
00:26:57,560 --> 00:27:03,480
Speaker 1: to suddenly come back to life. Promotions, breakthroughs, marriages, the

404
00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:07,639
Speaker 1: fullness of your destiny in Jesus' name, and if you

405
00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:12,439
Speaker 1: receive it, can you say amen? Today? Well, I'd like

406
00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:15,960
Speaker 1: to give you an opportunity to make Jesus the Lord

407
00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:20,680
Speaker 1: of your life. Would you pray with me? Just say, Lord, Jesus,

408
00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:27,080
Speaker 1: I repent of my sins. Come into my heart. I'll

409
00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:31,440
Speaker 1: make you my Lord and savior. Friends, if you prayed

410
00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:35,120
Speaker 1: that simple prayer, we believe you got born again. Get

411
00:27:35,119 --> 00:27:38,760
Speaker 1: in a good Bible based church, keep God first place.

412
00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:44,959

Speaker 2: how in the next thirty one days.

415
00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:55,760
Speaker 1: But God didn't create us to just survive, but to thrive.
