I like to start with something funny, 50 00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:25,040 Speaker 4: and I heard about this man that was very stingy 51 00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:28,680 Speaker 4: with his money. Just before his death, he made his 52 00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:31,600 Speaker 4: wife promise that she would have him buried with the 53 00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:36,160 Speaker 4: fifty thousand dollars he had saved. His wife reluctantly agreed. 54 00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:39,960 Speaker 4: At the funeral, right before they closed the casket, she 55 00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:44,240 Speaker 4: snuck in this small wooden box. Her friend said, surely 56 00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:47,280 Speaker 4: you didn't just bury the money. She said, of course 57 00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:50,919 Speaker 4: I did. I'm a Christian. I can't lie. The friend said, 58 00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:54,520 Speaker 4: you mean you just buried fifty thousand dollars. She said, yes, 59 00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:58,720 Speaker 4: I did. I wrote a check and say it like 60 00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:01,880 Speaker 4: you mean it. This is my Bible. I am what 61 00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:04,560 Speaker 4: it says I am. I have what it says I have. 62 00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:07,880 Speaker 4: I can do what it says I can do. Today 63 00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:11,720 Speaker 4: I will be taught the word of God. I'll boldly confess. 64 00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:15,880 Speaker 4: My mind is alert, my heart is receptive. I will 65 00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:19,840 Speaker 4: never be the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you. 66 00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:24,480 Speaker 4: I want to talk to you today about believing when 67 00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:28,200 Speaker 4: you're not seeing. It's easy to believe when things are 68 00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:32,480 Speaker 4: going our way. We're getting good breaks, our health is improving, 69 00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:36,560 Speaker 4: our child is turning around. When you can see it, 70 00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:40,320 Speaker 4: it doesn't take much faith. The test comes when you 71 00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:44,400 Speaker 4: can't see any sign of what you're believing for. You're 72 00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:48,560 Speaker 4: working hard, but doors aren't opening. You're praying, but the 73 00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:52,240 Speaker 4: medical report isn't improving. You're doing the right thing, but 74 00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:55,760 Speaker 4: your marriage isn't getting better. You know, God put the 75 00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:58,960 Speaker 4: promise in your heart. You know he gave you the dream, 76 00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:03,360 Speaker 4: but no sign that is happening. If you just saw 77 00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:06,960 Speaker 4: a little improvement, if you just felt a little better, 78 00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:09,800 Speaker 4: at least you would know that what you were doing 79 00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:14,920 Speaker 4: was helping. But many times before a promise comes to pass, 80 00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:19,039 Speaker 4: you have to go through a season of silence where 81 00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:22,839 Speaker 4: you're not seeing anything changing. You'll be tempted to think, 82 00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:27,880 Speaker 4: is what I'm doing even working, Is my believing, my praying, 83 00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:31,839 Speaker 4: my giving even making a difference. This is when many 84 00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:35,839 Speaker 4: people get discouraged and give up on what they're believing for. 85 00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:40,719 Speaker 4: But just because you don't see anything happening doesn't mean 86 00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:45,600 Speaker 4: God is not working behind the scenes. Things are changing 87 00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:49,720 Speaker 4: that you can't see. God does much of his work 88 00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:54,160 Speaker 4: in secret. You can't see him lining up the people 89 00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:59,080 Speaker 4: you need. You can't see him arranging good breaks for you. 90 00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:02,839 Speaker 4: You can't see him sending the angel with your promise, 91 00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:07,120 Speaker 4: putting the healing, the promotion, the vindication on your schedule. 92 00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:11,880 Speaker 4: All you can see is, Joel, I'm praying and nothing's happening. 93 00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:16,280 Speaker 4: I'm doing my best, but nothing's improving. You're in a 94 00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:20,680 Speaker 4: season of silence. The question is are you going to 95 00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:25,400 Speaker 4: get discouraged and quit believing because you're not seeing, or 96 00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:28,320 Speaker 4: are you're going to dig your heels in and say, God, 97 00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:32,040 Speaker 4: i may not see anything happening, but I'm not moved 98 00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:34,560 Speaker 4: by what I see. I'm moved by what I know, 99 00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:37,960 Speaker 4: and I know what you promised me is on the way. 100 00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:42,360 Speaker 4: If you'll stay in faith. At some point you're going 101 00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:46,839 Speaker 4: to see what God was doing behind the scenes. Suddenly 102 00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:49,920 Speaker 4: things are going to shift in your favor. What happened? 103 00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:53,440 Speaker 4: You saw what God was up to all those months 104 00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:58,560 Speaker 4: even years you didn't think anything was happening. Behind the scenes, 105 00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:03,479 Speaker 4: Things were coming together, And sometimes it hasn't happened yet 106 00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:08,600 Speaker 4: because another person involved is not ready. God is working 107 00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:12,400 Speaker 4: on someone else who's a part of your story, or 108 00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:16,960 Speaker 4: when that obstacle wasn't changing you didn't realize it. But 109 00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:21,160 Speaker 4: God was using the obstacle to change you. You were growing, 110 00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:25,839 Speaker 4: getting stronger, developing patients. If he would have removed it sooner, 111 00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:29,800 Speaker 4: you wouldn't be prepared for where He's taken you. But 112 00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:34,400 Speaker 4: the scripture says, don't get weary in well doing, for 113 00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:38,400 Speaker 4: in due season you will reap if you faint. Not 114 00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:43,239 Speaker 4: It doesn't say you may reap. There's a good chance 115 00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:47,320 Speaker 4: you'll reap. God says if you won't get tired of 116 00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:50,680 Speaker 4: doing the right thing, if you won't let what you 117 00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:54,599 Speaker 4: see talk you out of what you know, then your 118 00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:58,800 Speaker 4: due season is coming. You will reap if you don't faint. 119 00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:03,240 Speaker 4: Odd wouldn't have told us to not get weary in 120 00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:07,320 Speaker 4: well doing if he didn't know it would be easy 121 00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:11,160 Speaker 4: to get tired of doing what's right. It's easy to 122 00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:14,360 Speaker 4: get worn down. Think it's never going to work out. 123 00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:17,520 Speaker 4: My marriage is never going to make it, my business 124 00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:20,920 Speaker 4: is never going to grow. No, get your fire back. 125 00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:26,040 Speaker 4: Your due season is closer than you think. In the scripture, 126 00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:29,520 Speaker 4: it compares the life of a believer to an eagle. 127 00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:33,640 Speaker 4: When a mother eagle is going to have a baby, eglet. 128 00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:37,920 Speaker 4: She lays an egg for thirty five days. She has 129 00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:41,240 Speaker 4: to sit on the egg to keep it warm. She 130 00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:45,760 Speaker 4: never feels the baby eglet kick. The egg never grows 131 00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:49,800 Speaker 4: any larger. There's no sign that what's on the inside 132 00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:53,440 Speaker 4: of the egg is alive. The mother eagle could think 133 00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:56,480 Speaker 4: if it was alive, at least it would move a 134 00:07:56,520 --> 00:08:00,520 Speaker 4: little bit, at least I would hear something. But day 135 00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:05,320 Speaker 4: after day the mother eagle sits unmoved by what she 136 00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:10,480 Speaker 4: doesn't feel, unmoved by what's not changing. On the thirty 137 00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:15,400 Speaker 4: fifth day, after no signs of life, suddenly the little 138 00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:19,440 Speaker 4: eagle it starts pecking out of the shell. Before long 139 00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:23,960 Speaker 4: it hatches, healthy and whole. But think about the faith 140 00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:27,600 Speaker 4: it takes for that mother eagle to sit on an 141 00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:33,440 Speaker 4: egg that seems dead. Unlike a person. When a lady 142 00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:36,920 Speaker 4: is going to have a baby, we have all these signs. 143 00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:41,040 Speaker 4: Their stomach gets bigger, their feet may swell, their back 144 00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:43,559 Speaker 4: may hurt, they may get meaner. I mean, they may 145 00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:49,360 Speaker 4: have morning sickness. Their womb begins to grow. Over time, 146 00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:54,280 Speaker 4: it's obvious you can see the baby is developing. When 147 00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:57,959 Speaker 4: Victoria was pregnant with Jonathan, we were driving down the 148 00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:01,719 Speaker 4: road and I turned on some music. Just like clockwork, 149 00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:05,440 Speaker 4: he started kicking in the wound like he was keeping 150 00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:08,160 Speaker 4: beat to the music. You could see a leg coming 151 00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:11,480 Speaker 4: out here and elbow coming out there. We had no 152 00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:15,200 Speaker 4: doubt that he was coming those last six months. We 153 00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:18,640 Speaker 4: never once thought, I wonder if he's in there, I 154 00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:22,200 Speaker 4: wonder if he's alive. We didn't have to wonder. We 155 00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:26,840 Speaker 4: could see it. If God brought promises to pass, like 156 00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:31,200 Speaker 4: a person giving birth, it would be no problem to 157 00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:34,560 Speaker 4: stay in faith. It would be easy to thank him 158 00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:37,520 Speaker 4: that it was on the way. But most of the 159 00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:41,040 Speaker 4: time it won't be like a person. It will be 160 00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:44,680 Speaker 4: like an eagle. You're going to have to believe something 161 00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:48,160 Speaker 4: is happening when you can't see any sign of it. 162 00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:54,880 Speaker 4: You're going to have to sit on that promise, believing, expecting, praying, thinking. 163 00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:58,440 Speaker 4: When you're not getting any kicks, when you're not seeing 164 00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:02,280 Speaker 4: any growth, the egg is not moving, you don't hear 165 00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:06,520 Speaker 4: any sounds. Deep down, you have to know something is 166 00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:10,760 Speaker 4: happening that you can't see. After a couple of weeks, 167 00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:15,360 Speaker 4: the mother eagle could think I'm wasting my time. By now, 168 00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:19,280 Speaker 4: something should be happening. I don't see any sign that 169 00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:23,120 Speaker 4: what's in this egg is alive. But there's something in 170 00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:27,680 Speaker 4: her DNA, something put in her by the Creator that says, 171 00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:30,720 Speaker 4: I don't have to see a sign, I don't have 172 00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:34,000 Speaker 4: to feel a kick. I know my baby is alive. 173 00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:37,760 Speaker 4: I know my duce season is coming. I know on 174 00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:41,680 Speaker 4: the thirty fifth day, this baby eaglet is going to hatch. 175 00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:45,680 Speaker 4: You may have promises that you've been standing on for 176 00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:48,760 Speaker 4: a long time, dreams God has put in your heart. 177 00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:53,439 Speaker 4: Every circumstance says it's never going to happen. What you're 178 00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:56,880 Speaker 4: believing for is dead. It would have kicked by now. 179 00:10:57,440 --> 00:11:01,160 Speaker 4: You would have seen some improvement, some growth. No, don't 180 00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:05,840 Speaker 4: believe those lies. Keep sitting on that egg, Keep thanking 181 00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:09,240 Speaker 4: God that is coming, Keep talking like it's on the way, 182 00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:14,439 Speaker 4: Keep expecting things to change in your favor. Our attitude 183 00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:18,480 Speaker 4: should be what God promised me. May look dead, but 184 00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:21,320 Speaker 4: I know, like that eagle, what He put in my 185 00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:25,960 Speaker 4: spirit is still alive. It doesn't have to kit. I'm 186 00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:29,079 Speaker 4: not moved by what I feel. I'm not moved by 187 00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:32,800 Speaker 4: how long it's taking, by what's not working out. I 188 00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:36,000 Speaker 4: know what God started in my life. He's going to 189 00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:41,240 Speaker 4: finish what am I saying. Quit being discouraged because you 190 00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:45,720 Speaker 4: haven't felt a kit. Nothing is wrong. That doesn't mean 191 00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:49,800 Speaker 4: it's not going to happen. You have to trust the process. 192 00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:55,160 Speaker 4: While you're waiting, things are growing, things are developing. God 193 00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:59,800 Speaker 4: is bringing it together. He works in secret. You may 194 00:11:59,880 --> 00:12:03,720 Speaker 4: not see any improvement. You may not see what God 195 00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:07,760 Speaker 4: is up to. If the mother eagle could peck a 196 00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:11,680 Speaker 4: little hole in the shell and see her baby, it 197 00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:15,240 Speaker 4: would be so much easier to believe. I saw him. 198 00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:18,160 Speaker 4: He's in there. Now I can sit on this egg 199 00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:24,360 Speaker 4: with confidence. The problem is the eaglet wouldn't survive. Some 200 00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:29,040 Speaker 4: things have to develop in the dark, in secret. If 201 00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:32,640 Speaker 4: you could see the promise coming, if God showed us 202 00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:35,360 Speaker 4: what he was up to, yes, it wouldn't be as 203 00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:39,680 Speaker 4: difficult to believe. But that wouldn't take any faith. You 204 00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:43,559 Speaker 4: have to believe when there's no sign on the outside 205 00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:48,040 Speaker 4: that what's on the inside is still alive the promise 206 00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:51,800 Speaker 4: God put in you. That egg, so to speak, is 207 00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:55,080 Speaker 4: not going to move, not going to grow, not going 208 00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:58,800 Speaker 4: to kick. You may not see any signs of life 209 00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:03,120 Speaker 4: until the thirty fifth day, until you're due season. When 210 00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:07,480 Speaker 4: suddenly that baby eglet is going to hatch. But there's 211 00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:11,480 Speaker 4: something God has put in your DNA where you can 212 00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:15,800 Speaker 4: believe when every circumstance says it's not going to happen. 213 00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:20,920 Speaker 4: The odds may be against you today. Your dream seems impossible, 214 00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:25,400 Speaker 4: medical reports not improving. You've struggled with the addiction for years. 215 00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:29,480 Speaker 4: Looks like the promise is dead. You're tempted to walk 216 00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:33,160 Speaker 4: away from the nest, forget about the egg hasn't seen 217 00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:36,640 Speaker 4: any signs of life, or God is saying go back 218 00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:40,720 Speaker 4: and sit on it. It is still alive. Don't let 219 00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:44,800 Speaker 4: the circumstances fool you. Just because you don't see anything 220 00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:49,160 Speaker 4: happening on the outside doesn't mean something is not happening 221 00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:53,319 Speaker 4: on the inside. Well, Joel, I've never felt my baby kick. 222 00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:56,960 Speaker 4: It's not going to kick in the egg. God bursts 223 00:13:57,040 --> 00:14:00,480 Speaker 4: things like an eagle, not like a person. We have 224 00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:04,839 Speaker 4: to walk by faith and not by sight. The Israelites 225 00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:08,320 Speaker 4: were traveling through the desert, headed toward the Promised Land 226 00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:12,160 Speaker 4: when they came to the city of Jericho. This was 227 00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:15,880 Speaker 4: the last city that stood between them and the city 228 00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:20,880 Speaker 4: of Canaan, the land God promised them. Jericho was surrounded 229 00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:25,080 Speaker 4: by a huge stone wall. It was so thick that 230 00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:29,040 Speaker 4: chariots could ride on top of it. God told Joshua 231 00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:33,560 Speaker 4: to have the Israelites march around the walls for seven 232 00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:37,600 Speaker 4: days without saying a word. These two million people went 233 00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:40,560 Speaker 4: out and once a day started walking around the wall. 234 00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:47,120 Speaker 4: First day, nothing happened. Second day nothing. It was hot, dusty. 235 00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:51,400 Speaker 4: They were already tired, worn out from traveling through the desert. 236 00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:55,200 Speaker 4: Went around the fourth day nothing. The fifth time nothing. 237 00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:59,160 Speaker 4: I can imagine, they started to get discouraged, thinking, what 238 00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:02,800 Speaker 4: are we doing out here? We look like fools. Nothing 239 00:15:02,920 --> 00:15:06,720 Speaker 4: is even happening. It wouldn't have been so difficult to 240 00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:10,880 Speaker 4: believe if while they were walking around they saw a 241 00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:14,840 Speaker 4: little crack in the wall start to form. Maybe the 242 00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:18,200 Speaker 4: fourth time around some of the rocks up top broke apart, 243 00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:21,600 Speaker 4: the next time around, the foundation begin to loosen up. 244 00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:25,560 Speaker 4: If they would have just seen a sign that things 245 00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:30,480 Speaker 4: were improving, something to encourage them, a little crack here 246 00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:35,240 Speaker 4: and there. But nothing was changing. They were sitting on 247 00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:39,200 Speaker 4: that egg, doing what God asked them to do, walking 248 00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:43,960 Speaker 4: around a city, not complaining. They were doing their part. 249 00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:48,560 Speaker 4: Why wasn't God doing his part? God works in secret 250 00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:53,920 Speaker 4: in that egg. You can't see the eaglet developing. The 251 00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:58,320 Speaker 4: Israelites didn't like it. They were uncomfortable. But here's the key. 252 00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:02,440 Speaker 4: They kept doing the right thing. They didn't get weary 253 00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:07,560 Speaker 4: in well doing. On the seventh day, the seventh time around, 254 00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:11,520 Speaker 4: still no sign of the wall weakening. Still look just 255 00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:15,600 Speaker 4: as strong, sturdy, like it did before they started. But 256 00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:19,640 Speaker 4: when they completed that seventh lap, suddenly the walls came 257 00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:23,920 Speaker 4: tumbling down. They came into their due season, their thirty 258 00:16:23,960 --> 00:16:28,440 Speaker 4: fifth day. But too often we'll stay in faith if 259 00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:32,400 Speaker 4: we see the wall cracking, we'll believe. If our boss 260 00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:36,400 Speaker 4: starts treating us better, if our health starts improving, we're 261 00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:40,080 Speaker 4: waiting for the baby to kick. God, give me a sign, 262 00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:43,120 Speaker 4: show me something that you're going to turn this around. 263 00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:46,600 Speaker 4: What I'm saying is you may not get a sign. 264 00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:50,040 Speaker 4: That's when you have to dig down deep and say, 265 00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:53,320 Speaker 4: am I going to get up off this egg? Am 266 00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:56,560 Speaker 4: I going to let what I'm not seeing convince me 267 00:16:56,680 --> 00:17:00,200 Speaker 4: what I'm believing for is dead? It's too late, the 268 00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:03,680 Speaker 4: obstacles too big. Or Am I going to do like 269 00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:08,280 Speaker 4: the Israelites and keep marching even though there is no sign? 270 00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:12,960 Speaker 4: Keep thanking God, even though it's not improving. Keep expecting, 271 00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:16,960 Speaker 4: even though the baby is not kicking. You keep doing 272 00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:20,320 Speaker 4: the right thing, and your thirty fifth day is coming. 273 00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:24,200 Speaker 4: What you thought was dead, you didn't see any signs 274 00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:28,479 Speaker 4: of life. Suddenly, that baby eaglet is going to burst forth. 275 00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:31,960 Speaker 4: A friend of mine that I grew up with, was 276 00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:35,800 Speaker 4: believing to have a baby for many years. She and 277 00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:39,800 Speaker 4: her husband had tried and tried with no success. We 278 00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:43,120 Speaker 4: were all standing in faith with her, believing and praying, 279 00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:46,879 Speaker 4: but no baby. She'd gone to doctors. They told her 280 00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:49,399 Speaker 4: there was nothing more they could do. She wouldn't be 281 00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:52,680 Speaker 4: able to have children. She's a little bit older than 282 00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:55,880 Speaker 4: I am, and I was in my forties. I thought 283 00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:59,840 Speaker 4: it's too late now, surely she'll accept it and move 284 00:17:59,880 --> 00:18:03,040 Speaker 4: on on. Maybe she can adopt, Maybe she can do 285 00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:07,840 Speaker 4: something else with children. That never entered her mind. She 286 00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:12,080 Speaker 4: was always talking about having a baby. It was never if, 287 00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:16,520 Speaker 4: it was always when she even made a baby's room 288 00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:20,800 Speaker 4: in her house, had it all decorated ready for the child. 289 00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:25,159 Speaker 4: She was constantly thanking God that her baby was on 290 00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:29,160 Speaker 4: the way, talking like it could happen tomorrow. She could 291 00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:33,240 Speaker 4: have easily walked away from the nest thought This egg 292 00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:37,359 Speaker 4: doesn't just look dead. It is dead. Would have happened 293 00:18:37,359 --> 00:18:41,320 Speaker 4: by now. But when God puts a promise in your heart, 294 00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:45,520 Speaker 4: you have to have a never say die attitude. You 295 00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:49,639 Speaker 4: may not see how it can happen. It seems too late, 296 00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:53,800 Speaker 4: you're too old, the obstacle's too big. You can come 297 00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:56,600 Speaker 4: up with a thousand reasons why it's not going to 298 00:18:56,680 --> 00:19:00,840 Speaker 4: work out. Don't talk yourself out of it. Do like her, 299 00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:04,960 Speaker 4: Keep thanking God that it's on the wave, Keep believing 300 00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:09,199 Speaker 4: when it's not improving. Keep sitting on that egg, not 301 00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:13,320 Speaker 4: moved by what's not changing, walking by faith and not 302 00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:17,960 Speaker 4: by sight. Twenty years later, she walked in one day 303 00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:21,960 Speaker 4: and said I'm pregnant. She wasn't saying it by faith. 304 00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:24,960 Speaker 4: It was a reality. She not only gave birth to 305 00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:28,680 Speaker 4: one baby, she gave birth to twins at fifty three 306 00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:34,760 Speaker 4: years old. Now, don't walk away from that nest. Don't 307 00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:38,560 Speaker 4: get discouraged because you haven't felt a kick. God is 308 00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:42,480 Speaker 4: working on the inside. What you can't see is the 309 00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:47,520 Speaker 4: promise is growing. It's developing. The outside looks the same. 310 00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:51,080 Speaker 4: You may not see any improvement. But if you will 311 00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:54,760 Speaker 4: stay in faith life with her, what God has spoken 312 00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:59,719 Speaker 4: over you is on the wave. God told Abraham that 313 00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:02,320 Speaker 4: he and his wife Sarah was going to have a baby. 314 00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:06,560 Speaker 4: Sarah had been burying all these years now they were 315 00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:09,960 Speaker 4: way too old to have children. But the scripture says 316 00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:15,160 Speaker 4: Abraham considered not the weakness of his own body nor 317 00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:20,240 Speaker 4: the deadness of Sarah's womb. When Abraham looked at that promise, 318 00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:25,080 Speaker 4: everything in him said, it's dead. You're way too old 319 00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:28,639 Speaker 4: to have a baby. All the circumstances said it would 320 00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:33,720 Speaker 4: never happen. But here's the key. Abraham considered not what 321 00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:38,600 Speaker 4: looked dead. He wasn't moved by what he saw. You 322 00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:42,240 Speaker 4: may have situations that look like they'll never work out. 323 00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:45,120 Speaker 4: You don't see how you could get well, how you'll 324 00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:49,320 Speaker 4: meet the right person, how you'll break the addiction. If 325 00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:54,080 Speaker 4: you only consider that, you'll get discouraged and quit believing 326 00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:58,640 Speaker 4: you have to do. Like Abraham, don't consider your circumstances, 327 00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:04,040 Speaker 4: consider your God. I'm sure many times Abraham was tempted 328 00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:07,560 Speaker 4: to walk away from the nest. They didn't see any 329 00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:11,240 Speaker 4: sign of it happening. Year after year went by with 330 00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:15,680 Speaker 4: no baby. They never felt a kick, never saw Sarah's 331 00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:20,800 Speaker 4: womb growing in the meantime, Abraham made mistakes, had a 332 00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:25,240 Speaker 4: baby with another lady that wasn't the promised child. Twenty 333 00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:29,120 Speaker 4: five years after God gave him the promise, God came 334 00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:32,919 Speaker 4: back to Abraham and said, now Sarah is going to 335 00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:37,200 Speaker 4: have a baby. A year later, at ninety years old, 336 00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:41,800 Speaker 4: she gave birth to a son. What's interesting is no 337 00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:45,760 Speaker 4: one had ever had a baby at that age. It's 338 00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:49,520 Speaker 4: one thing if you had seen it happened before, If 339 00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:53,040 Speaker 4: you knew your neighbor had given birth at close to ninety, 340 00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:55,760 Speaker 4: or you saw in the news a lady gave birth 341 00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:59,200 Speaker 4: at ninety, at least you could look back and say, God, 342 00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:01,399 Speaker 4: you did it for them, I know you can do 343 00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:04,359 Speaker 4: it for me. At least you would know it was possible. 344 00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:09,160 Speaker 4: This had never happened. They had no point of reference. 345 00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:14,119 Speaker 4: God has some things in your future that have never happened. 346 00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:17,120 Speaker 4: You're going to be the first one in your family 347 00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:21,880 Speaker 4: to step into new levels of influence, the first one 348 00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:25,680 Speaker 4: to run a successful business, the first one to break 349 00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:29,600 Speaker 4: the addiction, the first one to keep your marriage together. 350 00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:35,800 Speaker 4: But when we've never seen this, it's easy to dismiss it. Joe, 351 00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:40,680 Speaker 4: this egg is never going to hatch. No use praying, believing, expecting. 352 00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:44,879 Speaker 4: It's never happened before, No life with Abraham and Sarah. 353 00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:48,639 Speaker 4: You're about to give birth to something that you've never seen, 354 00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:52,040 Speaker 4: something that's going to catapult you to a new level, 355 00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:56,040 Speaker 4: something where people can see. The favor of God is 356 00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:59,800 Speaker 4: on your line. Now. Instead of considering how big you 357 00:22:59,840 --> 00:23:03,880 Speaker 4: are obstacles are, why don't you start considering how big 358 00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:08,040 Speaker 4: your God is. He flung stars into space, he spoke 359 00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:12,880 Speaker 4: worlds into existence, and what you're up against may seem impossible. 360 00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:16,520 Speaker 4: But God can do the impossible. He can make things 361 00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:20,760 Speaker 4: happen that we could never make happen. Victoria taught to 362 00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:25,000 Speaker 4: a young lady named Sabrina. At seventeen years of age, 363 00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:27,879 Speaker 4: she went into check on her nine month old son 364 00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:32,439 Speaker 4: and discovered he wasn't breathing. She grabbed him, rushed to 365 00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:37,800 Speaker 4: the neighbor's house, and frantically started doing CPR. Unfortunately, the 366 00:23:37,880 --> 00:23:42,080 Speaker 4: little boy didn't make it. When the prosecutors saw the 367 00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:46,479 Speaker 4: bruises on his chest from the CPR, they accused the 368 00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:51,520 Speaker 4: mother of abuse that caused his death. The neighbors told 369 00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:54,520 Speaker 4: how that wasn't the case, but they didn't believe them. 370 00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:58,000 Speaker 4: A year later, she was found guilty of taking her 371 00:23:58,040 --> 00:24:02,800 Speaker 4: son's life and sentenced to death. Eighteen years of age, 372 00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:06,240 Speaker 4: sitting in a prison cell twenty three hours a day 373 00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:10,159 Speaker 4: didn't look like she could fulfill her destiny. Her dream 374 00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:14,320 Speaker 4: seemed dead. No woman had ever been released from death row. 375 00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:18,520 Speaker 4: Six years later, by the grace of God, she was 376 00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:22,440 Speaker 4: granted a new trial. This time, the neighbors were able 377 00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:27,439 Speaker 4: to testify about the CPR. A medical examiner found the 378 00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:31,040 Speaker 4: little boy had a kidney disease that he believed caused 379 00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:35,439 Speaker 4: the death. December of nineteen ninety five, after six years 380 00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:39,680 Speaker 4: on death row, a jury found her not guilty. She 381 00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:45,000 Speaker 4: was completely exonerated and became the first woman ever to 382 00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:49,119 Speaker 4: be released from death row. I'm sure there were plenty 383 00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:52,720 Speaker 4: of lonely nights in that prison cell where thoughts told 384 00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:56,879 Speaker 4: her you'll never get out. It's never happened before. You 385 00:24:57,000 --> 00:25:00,080 Speaker 4: can be the first. You can be the one to 386 00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:03,560 Speaker 4: set a new standard. Don't be moved by what you 387 00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:07,680 Speaker 4: don't see, by what you don't have, by who's against you. 388 00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:11,320 Speaker 4: God being for you is more than the world being 389 00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:16,120 Speaker 4: against you. Now, maybe you're about to step away from 390 00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:19,679 Speaker 4: the nest. You know what God's promised you, But it 391 00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:24,840 Speaker 4: seems impossible. Nothing's changing. Surely it would have happened by now. 392 00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:28,960 Speaker 4: If you walk away, you're going to miss what God 393 00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:32,760 Speaker 4: is about to do. You are closer than you think. 394 00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:36,760 Speaker 4: Your thirty fifth day is going to happen, sooner than 395 00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:40,800 Speaker 4: it looks. You may not see any sign of it now. 396 00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:45,280 Speaker 4: When that baby eaglet is in the egg, you can't 397 00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:48,600 Speaker 4: tell when it's about to break out. Nothing on the 398 00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:52,680 Speaker 4: outside looks any different. The shell seems just the same 399 00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:56,840 Speaker 4: as it's been day after day. But then suddenly, when 400 00:25:56,880 --> 00:26:00,320 Speaker 4: you didn't see it coming, when everything looks the same, 401 00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:03,760 Speaker 4: the door will open, your health will turn around, the 402 00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:06,760 Speaker 4: right person will show up. You don't know what God 403 00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:10,560 Speaker 4: is up to behind the scenes. I read where this 404 00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:14,159 Speaker 4: mother eagle has to keep the temperature of the egg 405 00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:18,359 Speaker 4: at one hundred and five degrees. If she doesn't maintain 406 00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:22,679 Speaker 4: that temperature, the eaglet won't develop. So she sits on 407 00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:27,280 Speaker 4: the egg day after day. She could be out gathering food, 408 00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:31,960 Speaker 4: building another nest, but she knows it's vital to keep 409 00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:35,760 Speaker 4: the egg warm. In the same way, you have to 410 00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:39,960 Speaker 4: keep your promise in a warm environment. The way you 411 00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:44,639 Speaker 4: do this is through praise and thanksgiving, Father, Thank you 412 00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:48,359 Speaker 4: that what you promise me is on the way. The 413 00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:51,919 Speaker 4: medical report doesn't look good, but Lord, thank you that 414 00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:56,080 Speaker 4: you're restoring health back into me. Business is slow, but 415 00:26:56,160 --> 00:26:58,879 Speaker 4: I'm not moved by what I see. Lord, Thank you 416 00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:01,639 Speaker 4: that I will lend and not borrow. Thank You that 417 00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:07,040 Speaker 4: what I touch will prosper and succeed. Sometimes our promise 418 00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:11,679 Speaker 4: is taking longer to develop because we're complaining instead of 419 00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:15,480 Speaker 4: praising God. Why is this taking so long? When is 420 00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:17,920 Speaker 4: this ever going to change? Now? You have to get 421 00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:22,199 Speaker 4: your promise in a warm environment. Like my friend with 422 00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:26,080 Speaker 4: the baby for twenty years, she sat on that promise. 423 00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:30,280 Speaker 4: She was constantly thanking God that the baby was coming. 424 00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:34,800 Speaker 4: Abraham did this. He could have complained, God, we're too 425 00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:38,040 Speaker 4: old to have a baby. Why don't you find somebody else? 426 00:27:38,600 --> 00:27:43,160 Speaker 4: Or the scripture says Abraham grew strong in faith by 427 00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:46,520 Speaker 4: giving praise to God. I can hear him all through 428 00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:50,199 Speaker 4: the day. God, it looks impossible, but I know you 429 00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:53,400 Speaker 4: can do the impossible. Thank you that the fruit of 430 00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:56,840 Speaker 4: Sarah's womb is blessed. Thank you that what you promise 431 00:27:57,000 --> 00:28:01,760 Speaker 4: me I will become that father of many names is 432 00:28:01,840 --> 00:28:05,800 Speaker 4: your promise in a warm environment. Are you keeping it 433 00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:10,399 Speaker 4: in an atmosphere of faith, of praise, of thanksgiving. You 434 00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:13,800 Speaker 4: have to maintain the proper temperature for the promise to 435 00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:17,720 Speaker 4: come to pass. I know many of you have been 436 00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:22,800 Speaker 4: doing this. You've been faithful year after year, believing when 437 00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:27,280 Speaker 4: you don't see anything changing. Get ready, Your thirty fifth 438 00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:31,120 Speaker 4: day is coming. God is about to do something unusual, 439 00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:36,320 Speaker 4: something that's never happened for you. Now my challenge, don't 440 00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:40,280 Speaker 4: walk away from the nest, don't get weary in well doing. 441 00:28:40,640 --> 00:28:44,680 Speaker 4: Keep believing even though you're not seeing. If you'll do this, 442 00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:49,720 Speaker 4: I believe and declare what you thought was dead, things 443 00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:53,320 Speaker 4: you didn't see any improvement, They're about to suddenly come 444 00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:58,920 Speaker 4: back to life, healing, promotions, breakthroughs, marriages, the fullness of 445 00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:02,800 Speaker 4: your destiny in Jesus' name, and if you receive it. 446 00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:07,480 Speaker 4: Can you say amen today what I'd like to give 447 00:29:07,520 --> 00:29:11,320 Speaker 4: you an opportunity to make Jesus the lord of your life. 448 00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:16,680 Speaker 4: Would you pray with me? Just say, Lord, Jesus, I 449 00:29:16,840 --> 00:29:21,960 Speaker 4: repent of my sins. Come into my heart. I'll make 450 00:29:22,040 --> 00:29:26,160 Speaker 4: you my lord and savior.
