Speaker 6: Amen.

43
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:59,840
Speaker 5: Have you ever had an opportunity presented to you and

44
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:03,280
Speaker 5: you said, no, no, I don't.

45
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:04,880
Speaker 4: Want to do that, No, I can't do that.

46
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:08,760
Speaker 5: Maybe you didn't think you were qualified, or maybe you

47
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:10,840
Speaker 5: thought there was someone else better for the job.

48
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:13,240
Speaker 4: Or maybe you just didn't have the resources.

49
00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 5: You know, there's numbers of reasons that we say no

50
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:21,800
Speaker 5: when certain opportunities present themselves. But then have you ever

51
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:25,440
Speaker 5: done that and then later got to thinking, ugh, what

52
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 5: I say no for?

53
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:30,000
Speaker 4: I wish i'd have done that? Maybe I could have

54
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:34,640
Speaker 4: done that. Have you ever wrestled with the no before

55
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:39,920
Speaker 4: thinking maybe I could, Oh, maybe I should.

56
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:43,600
Speaker 5: You see, I'll never forget one time when Joel's father

57
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:45,880
Speaker 5: was the pastor of the church back in the old building,

58
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:49,239
Speaker 5: and we were worshiping God. It was in the middle

59
00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:51,840
Speaker 5: of our worship, just like we were doing today. My

60
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:55,240
Speaker 5: hands were up, I was praising God. When I opened

61
00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:58,880
Speaker 5: my eyes, Joel's father had turned around in his seat

62
00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:03,080
Speaker 5: and looked at me and said, Victoria, why don't you

63
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:07,880
Speaker 5: go up and do the prayer time? Well, he wasn't

64
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:10,240
Speaker 5: talking about next week or the next week.

65
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:11,919
Speaker 4: He was talking.

66
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:14,120
Speaker 5: About the end of the song that was just about over.

67
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:17,400
Speaker 5: I'm sure I looked at him because I had never

68
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:20,959
Speaker 5: even remotely given him the thought that I wanted to

69
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:22,760
Speaker 5: get on the platform and do the prayer time. I

70
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:26,560
Speaker 5: don't even know where he got that, but I'll never

71
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:33,000
Speaker 5: forget chuckling with a nervous laugh, and I said, uh, daddy, O,

72
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:39,800
Speaker 5: I don't think so, you know, in his sweet gentle way,

73
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:43,720
Speaker 5: he just smiled at me. He turned around, and he

74
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:46,840
Speaker 5: never said anymore to me during that service.

75
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:49,840
Speaker 4: You know, I remember standing there.

76
00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:53,080
Speaker 5: Thinking I didn't need to get out of here. But

77
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:56,800
Speaker 5: when I got home, I was wrestling with that no.

78
00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 5: I was so disappointed in myself, and really, quite frankly,

79
00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:05,000
Speaker 5: I was mad at myself because I thought to myself,

80
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:09,320
Speaker 5: if if he thought I could do it, why do

81
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 5: I think that I can't do it? If someone has

82
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:15,200
Speaker 5: faith in me, why don't I have faith in myself?

83
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:18,000
Speaker 5: And I went back and I went forth, and I

84
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:21,200
Speaker 5: went back and I went forth, And as I was

85
00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:27,680
Speaker 5: wrestling with that, I realized that that no just wasn't

86
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:31,960
Speaker 5: satisfactory to me. So I begin to dig deep, because

87
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:35,920
Speaker 5: on the inside of me, I realized there was a yes,

88
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:40,440
Speaker 5: but it was buried under fear. It was buried under

89
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:43,400
Speaker 5: the pretense that I could not do it. It was

90
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:46,600
Speaker 5: buried under the thought, why does anybody need to hear

91
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:51,000
Speaker 5: from me? You see, that no was not satisfactory to me.

92
00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:54,360
Speaker 5: So I began to dig up my yes. And I've

93
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:57,240
Speaker 5: begin to say I want to do it, God, help

94
00:04:57,320 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 5: me do it. God don't want to give you my yes.

95
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:04,760
Speaker 5: And through that struggle, I had to make a decision.

96
00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 5: Was I just gonna have one foot in and one

97
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:10,400
Speaker 5: foot out? Or was I gonna make a firm decision

98
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:12,960
Speaker 5: and say the next time he asked me, if he

99
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:17,039
Speaker 5: ever does, I'm gonna prepare and I'm gonna be ready.

100
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:21,040
Speaker 5: So every time I'd go to church, I'd be praising

101
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:23,240
Speaker 5: with one eye opened, say maybe.

102
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:30,400
Speaker 4: Not today, Lord, but not today Lord. You know he

103
00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:34,000
Speaker 4: did ask me again, He did ask me again. And

104
00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:34,760
Speaker 4: you know what I did.

105
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:38,760
Speaker 5: I mustard up that great big yess and I got

106
00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:43,640
Speaker 5: up and I did the prayer time. You see what

107
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 5: that yes did for me? It kicked in God's grace.

108
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:52,800
Speaker 5: It caused me to begin to rely on God. I prepared,

109
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:56,520
Speaker 5: but then I allowed the grace of God to work

110
00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 5: in me and work through me. There's a scripture that

111
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:03,559
Speaker 5: it says that God is working in us to will

112
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:07,600
Speaker 5: and to do his good pleasure. When you realize that

113
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:10,640
Speaker 5: you don't have to do everything on your own, and

114
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:13,400
Speaker 5: if it gets done, it's only because of your ability.

115
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:16,160
Speaker 4: When you realize that is not always.

116
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:19,160
Speaker 5: The case, but that it's God who's working in you.

117
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:23,520
Speaker 4: It's God who's preparing you. If you will get into

118
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:24,680
Speaker 4: agreement with.

119
00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:28,839
Speaker 5: God, God can do amazing things in our lives.

120
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:34,240
Speaker 4: But God needs our yes. He needs to hear our yes.

121
00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:39,800
Speaker 5: When I think about how that yes kicked in and

122
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:43,279
Speaker 5: gave me the power to be able to do that,

123
00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:45,720
Speaker 5: it was it was a very much of a learning

124
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:49,880
Speaker 5: experience for me, because see, I didn't realize at the

125
00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:52,600
Speaker 5: time that God was up to something.

126
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:56,760
Speaker 4: But when I look back, I realized that that yes.

127
00:06:57,200 --> 00:07:00,960
Speaker 5: Was one step closer to my desk to me, that

128
00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:04,560
Speaker 5: yes was one step closer to the next step.

129
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:06,480
Speaker 4: Now. The truth is, I.

130
00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:08,520
Speaker 5: Don't know how many times I ever got back up

131
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:11,240
Speaker 5: on the platform when Daddy was there, But I'll tell

132
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:15,280
Speaker 5: you what that experience gave me, the courage and the

133
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:19,960
Speaker 5: boldness when God asked me yes again. Listen, if you're

134
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 5: struggling with a yes today, if you're struggling between yes

135
00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:26,680
Speaker 5: and no when God talks to you, Maybe you don't

136
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:29,600
Speaker 5: think you're equipped, Maybe you don't have the right resources.

137
00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:33,520
Speaker 5: Maybe there's a plethora of reasons that you can make excuses.

138
00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:37,440
Speaker 4: Can I tell you make a decision, just settle it.

139
00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:38,160
Speaker 4: In your mind.

140
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:40,320
Speaker 5: If God wants me to do it, I'm gonna give

141
00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:43,120
Speaker 5: him my yess and I'm gonna prepare.

142
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:45,560
Speaker 4: And move forward.

143
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:48,200
Speaker 5: Because let me tell you something, Just like my father

144
00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:51,000
Speaker 5: in law asked me and I said no, he didn't

145
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:54,480
Speaker 5: hold that no against me, and your heavenly Father is

146
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:55,360
Speaker 5: not gonna hold that.

147
00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:56,640
Speaker 4: No against you.

148
00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:59,120
Speaker 5: You may have said no time and time again, but

149
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:01,800
Speaker 5: I can tell you, just like my father in law,

150
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:03,360
Speaker 5: God's gonna ask you again.

151
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:05,480
Speaker 4: He's gonna ask you again.

152
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:09,640
Speaker 5: So I encourage you to make a decision to give

153
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:13,520
Speaker 5: God your yes. Hold on to the promises of God.

154
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:16,640
Speaker 5: Listen to what it says in Second Corinthians one twenty.

155
00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:20,200
Speaker 5: It says, for no matter how many promises God has made,

156
00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:25,080
Speaker 5: they are yes in Christ. And so through Him we

157
00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:26,520
Speaker 5: speak the amen.

158
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:29,440
Speaker 4: Through him who.

159
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:34,440
Speaker 5: Speaks the Amen, who speaks the yes, we speak the yes.

160
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:39,240
Speaker 5: God's promises are gonna stand forever. They will remain. But

161
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:42,720
Speaker 5: He is looking for us to say yes. He is

162
00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:45,680
Speaker 5: looking for us to take that step of faith, to

163
00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:50,160
Speaker 5: say God, I'm all in No matter what it looks like, Hey,

164
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:55,520
Speaker 5: what in the world does yes look like to you today?

165
00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:59,120
Speaker 5: What does it look like to you today? What does

166
00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:03,200
Speaker 5: your yes look like when you think about God? Yes, God,

167
00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:07,720
Speaker 5: I am gonna forgive the people that hurt me. Yes, God,

168
00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:12,280
Speaker 5: I'm gonna trust you in this very difficult time. God,

169
00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:15,240
Speaker 5: I am all in with you God, knowing that you

170
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:17,679
Speaker 5: can bring about favor in my situation.

171
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:22,760
Speaker 4: Yes, God, I wanna begin to reach out to people,

172
00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:25,920
Speaker 4: even if I don't feel like I have time. God,

173
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:28,120
Speaker 4: I know that you can make up that time for me.

174
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:32,240
Speaker 5: Maybe you just need to surrender some things in your

175
00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:35,120
Speaker 5: life and say yes God, it is time for you

176
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:37,480
Speaker 5: to work through me. I'm gonna quit try to doing

177
00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:39,439
Speaker 5: it on my own and God, I'm just gonna say

178
00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:42,000
Speaker 5: yes to you. I'm gonna take that step of faith

179
00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:44,640
Speaker 5: God and let you open those supernatural doors for me.

180
00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:48,640
Speaker 4: What does your yes look like today?

181
00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:52,319
Speaker 5: Because God is waiting on you to get into agreement

182
00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:52,920
Speaker 5: with him.

183
00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:54,360
Speaker 4: And as soon.

184
00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:57,280
Speaker 5: As you say yes to God, guess what, the grace

185
00:09:57,320 --> 00:10:00,320
Speaker 5: of God kicks in. You. See, you're not on your own.

186
00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:02,800
Speaker 5: God doesn't want you to do it on your own.

187
00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:06,400
Speaker 5: God wants you to do it with Him in partnership

188
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:09,280
Speaker 5: and agreement with Him. And you know what, you can

189
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:13,199
Speaker 5: say Yes. I think about the saints of old. They

190
00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:16,240
Speaker 5: wavered in their yes, they wavered in their no. One

191
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:20,560
Speaker 5: day they were believers, the next day they were denying Jesus. Listen,

192
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:24,720
Speaker 5: God is not gonna hold your no against you, but

193
00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:28,480
Speaker 5: make some firm decisions to say, I am gonna trust

194
00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:31,040
Speaker 5: God in this, no matter what it looks like, no

195
00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:34,600
Speaker 5: matter how scared I am, no matter how buried, that

196
00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:37,920
Speaker 5: yes is in my in my spirit. I'm gonna dig

197
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:39,440
Speaker 5: it up. I'm gonna work it out.

198
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:41,280
Speaker 4: Because the Bible talks about this.

199
00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:44,559
Speaker 5: It says you have to hold fast your profession of faith.

200
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:47,160
Speaker 4: You have to hold fast that yes.

201
00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:50,440
Speaker 5: See that indicates that something is gonna try to take

202
00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:54,480
Speaker 5: that yes from you. And we're very well aware that

203
00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:58,600
Speaker 5: time tries to steal our yes. People try to steal

204
00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:02,640
Speaker 5: our yes. All these nose and shut doors.

205
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:03,439
Speaker 4: Try to steal our yes.

206
00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:06,840
Speaker 5: But you know what, we're gonna have to step over

207
00:11:06,960 --> 00:11:09,840
Speaker 5: a lot of nose and hold fast to that yes.

208
00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:11,160
Speaker 4: Hold it tight.

209
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:15,520
Speaker 5: See, it's not just in your ability, It's in God's

210
00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:21,120
Speaker 5: ability through you. It's in him opening supernatural doors. Can

211
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:24,200
Speaker 5: I tell you is it gonna be easy? Absolutely not?

212
00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:28,840
Speaker 5: Is it worth it? Absolutely it is. God is a

213
00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:31,959
Speaker 5: God of miracles, and he wants to take you step

214
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:36,880
Speaker 5: by step, but he needs your amen, He needs your agreement.

215
00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:38,600
Speaker 4: Think about Noah.

216
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:41,960
Speaker 5: When God came to Noah and spoke to Noah and said, Noah,

217
00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:45,600
Speaker 5: I want you to build an arc. Noah had no idea,

218
00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:48,200
Speaker 5: first off, what a boat was, what an arc was,

219
00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:52,360
Speaker 5: because no one had seen rain, It had literally never rained.

220
00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:55,960
Speaker 5: The theologians said, but you know what Noah did? He

221
00:11:56,040 --> 00:12:01,679
Speaker 5: said yes God. So he was fighting the odds because

222
00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:04,760
Speaker 5: no one had ever seen rain, and no one wanted

223
00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:07,640
Speaker 5: to get into agreement with his yes. But he said,

224
00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:09,760
Speaker 5: I'm going to stay in agreement with God.

225
00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:10,160
Speaker 4: Yes.

226
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:14,200
Speaker 5: And he kept building that arc. It took years and years.

227
00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:18,559
Speaker 5: People made fun of him. They even said Noah is crazy.

228
00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:21,760
Speaker 5: He and his family are crazy people. But what did

229
00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:25,200
Speaker 5: Noah keep doing. He kept pounding the nails, He kept

230
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:28,319
Speaker 5: saying yes in his obedience to God.

231
00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:31,880
Speaker 4: And let me tell you something. Noah's arc stands as

232
00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:32,880
Speaker 4: a monument.

233
00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:36,920
Speaker 5: Today, a sign of God's goodness, a sign of God's agreement.

234
00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:40,800
Speaker 5: You see, we are in covenant with this great God

235
00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:45,280
Speaker 5: and he wants your yes. I have a friend of

236
00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:49,720
Speaker 5: mine who who has a large family, many siblings, and

237
00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:52,760
Speaker 5: she made a decision to say yes to God in

238
00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:54,880
Speaker 5: a new way. And what I mean by that is

239
00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:57,000
Speaker 5: she was gonna let go of some of her past

240
00:12:57,080 --> 00:12:59,560
Speaker 5: habits and she was going to start serving God in

241
00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:02,480
Speaker 5: a fresh, new way because He had given her an

242
00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:06,559
Speaker 5: impression to do it differently. Well, let me tell you something.

243
00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:10,559
Speaker 5: Her family didn't think that was so keen. In fact,

244
00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:14,400
Speaker 5: they made ugly remarks to her. They literally quit inviting

245
00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:16,800
Speaker 5: her to certain gatherings because.

246
00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:19,640
Speaker 4: She had a new commitment to God. But can I

247
00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:22,319
Speaker 4: tell you she stayed faithful to her commitment.

248
00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:25,800
Speaker 5: She held on tight to that yes even when she

249
00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:29,560
Speaker 5: wasn't invited to things. She continued to be kind to

250
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:32,360
Speaker 5: her family, show love, and when they did advite her,

251
00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:36,600
Speaker 5: she showed up with all of her blessings to them.

252
00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:40,480
Speaker 5: Can I tell you today, after years and years of

253
00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:44,199
Speaker 5: holding on to that yes, staying committed, making that decision

254
00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:47,040
Speaker 5: even when it was tough, even when it would have

255
00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:52,319
Speaker 5: been easier to go back, her yes stands as an

256
00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:55,560
Speaker 5: anchor of hope to her family, and many of them

257
00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:59,160
Speaker 5: have come back to Jesus Christ because of that yes.

258
00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:06,880
Speaker 5: Is our yes always easy? No? But our yes is

259
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:09,720
Speaker 5: always worth it When we serve a mighty God.

260
00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:13,040
Speaker 4: Get up every day, reconfirm your yes.

261
00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:16,520
Speaker 5: Yes God, I am yours. Yes God, What do you

262
00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:19,440
Speaker 5: want me to do today? Yes, God, I will trust you,

263
00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:22,280
Speaker 5: I will forgive, I will take that step of faith.

264
00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:22,840
Speaker 4: God.

265
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:26,160
Speaker 5: I believe that when I get into agreement with you,

266
00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:28,040
Speaker 5: You're gonna do what I can't do.
