41
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:08,360
Speaker 3: make it feel right at home. I like to start

42
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:11,119
Speaker 3: with something funny, and I heard about these two men,

43
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:14,280
Speaker 3: the pope and a lawyer. They died on the same

44
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:16,919
Speaker 3: day went to heaven. Peter met them at the gates,

45
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:19,760
Speaker 3: said follow me. I'll take you to your homes. Peter

46
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:23,160
Speaker 3: dropped the pope off at this small wood frame house,

47
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 3: one bed, one table, nothing to it. He then took

48
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:30,520
Speaker 3: the lawyer to this magnificent house. He was huge, had

49
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 3: a big swimming pool, beautiful view out back. The lawyer

50
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:36,240
Speaker 3: was overwhelmed, said Peter, how did I manage to get

51
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:39,959
Speaker 3: this spectacular place and the pope only got the small place.

52
00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:43,600
Speaker 3: Peter said, we have dozens of popes. You're the first

53
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:48,560
Speaker 3: lawyer say it like you mean it. This is my Bible.

54
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:51,360
Speaker 3: I am what it says I am. I have what

55
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:53,960
Speaker 3: it says I have. I can do what it says

56
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:56,760
Speaker 3: I can do. Today I will be taught the word

57
00:02:56,800 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 3: of God. I boldly confess. My mind is its alert,

58
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:03,720
Speaker 3: my heart is receptive. I will never be the same.

59
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:08,160
Speaker 3: In Jesus' name, God bless you. I want to talk

60
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 3: to you today about seasons of silence. We all go

61
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:16,880
Speaker 3: through times or doesn't feel like we're making progress. We're praying,

62
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:20,560
Speaker 3: but our prayers aren't being answered. We're being our best

63
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:24,280
Speaker 3: but not getting good breaks. The problem hasn't turned around.

64
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:29,000
Speaker 3: Seems like God went on vacation, But the silence is

65
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:32,160
Speaker 3: not a sign that God is not working. He may

66
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 3: not be changing the circumstances, but he is changing us.

67
00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:40,840
Speaker 3: God uses the seasons of silence to get us prepared

68
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:44,760
Speaker 3: when we're not getting our way. We're doing the right thing,

69
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:48,760
Speaker 3: but we're being overlooked. Our friend got married, but we're

70
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:52,400
Speaker 3: still single. We're working harder than our coworker, but they

71
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 3: got the promotion. We feel overlooked, undervalued, forgotten. These times

72
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:03,760
Speaker 3: of isolation, who you're not being celebrated, are extremely valuable.

73
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 3: Nothing may be changing on the outside, but something's happening

74
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:13,480
Speaker 3: on the inside. Your character is being developed. You're learning

75
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:18,719
Speaker 3: to not depend on people. You're gaining experience, maturity, strength

76
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:21,599
Speaker 3: that you'll need to go where God is taking you.

77
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:25,560
Speaker 3: And you may wonder why no one is celebrating you.

78
00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:29,480
Speaker 3: You're being faithful, but the door hasn't opened. You're gifted.

79
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:32,479
Speaker 3: You know you could teach that class better than the

80
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:35,159
Speaker 3: person that's in place, but they never call on you.

81
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:40,480
Speaker 3: Don't complain about the silence. God does his greatest work

82
00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:45,840
Speaker 3: in isolation when nobody is noticing you. There are things

83
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:49,960
Speaker 3: you will learn in anonymity that you can't learn anywhere else.

84
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:54,440
Speaker 3: When God is silent, that doesn't mean he's not concerned.

85
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:58,279
Speaker 3: Silence is not a sign that God has forgotten about you,

86
00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:02,680
Speaker 3: just the opposite. It's a sign that he's closely watching you.

87
00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:06,640
Speaker 3: He's getting you prepared for new levels. But if he

88
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:09,480
Speaker 3: brought you out before you were ready, it would stop

89
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:13,680
Speaker 3: your purpose. God loves you so much that at times

90
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:17,480
Speaker 3: he will hide you. He'll cause you to be overlooked.

91
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 3: He'll cause the door not to open, He'll cause a

92
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:24,440
Speaker 3: person to walk away. You can be talented and hidden,

93
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:29,279
Speaker 3: anointed and hidden, have great ideas and hidden. If you

94
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:32,400
Speaker 3: don't understand that it is God hiding you, you'll be

95
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:36,480
Speaker 3: frustrated and try to make things happen out of God's timing.

96
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:41,080
Speaker 3: But before you see notoriety, you'll go through a season

97
00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 3: of obscurity. You have to pass this test when you're hidden.

98
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:50,320
Speaker 3: As a teenager, David was anointed to be king. God

99
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:53,919
Speaker 3: spoke it through the prophet Samuel. But David didn't go

100
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 3: straight to the throne. God hid him. He went back

101
00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:00,719
Speaker 3: to the shepherd's fields and kept doing the same thing

102
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:03,919
Speaker 3: that he had been doing, taking care of his father's sheep.

103
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:09,880
Speaker 3: He spent years out there by himself alone in obscurity.

104
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:14,040
Speaker 3: It was boring. His brothers were in the military, they

105
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:18,200
Speaker 3: had a prestigious position, they were being celebrated. Here's the key.

106
00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:22,560
Speaker 3: Don't compare your life to other peoples. It may seem

107
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:25,360
Speaker 3: like they have it better. They're further along, they don't

108
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:29,479
Speaker 3: have the challenges you do. Run your race. God's purpose

109
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:32,839
Speaker 3: for your life is not the same as theirs. Don't

110
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:35,840
Speaker 3: look to the left or to the right. Stay focused

111
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:40,440
Speaker 3: on your calling. In the scripture, Peter asked Jesus about

112
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:43,599
Speaker 3: John and what kind of future John was going to have.

113
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:47,960
Speaker 3: He thought John might have it better than him. Jesus said, Peter,

114
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:52,040
Speaker 3: if I want John to remain alive until our return,

115
00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:55,359
Speaker 3: what is that to you? He was saying, Peter, what

116
00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:59,080
Speaker 3: happens with John James Mark is none of your business.

117
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:03,080
Speaker 3: Just follow me. As long as you compare, you'll be

118
00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:07,600
Speaker 3: frustrated because you'll always find somebody that looks like they

119
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:11,280
Speaker 3: have it better than you. But David was destined to

120
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:14,080
Speaker 3: go higher than his brothers. He was going to see

121
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:19,080
Speaker 3: more influence, more favor. So that required more isolation, more training,

122
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:23,560
Speaker 3: more experience. I'm sure David thought God you said I'd

123
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:26,960
Speaker 3: be the king, you said I'd lead the nation. Why

124
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:29,800
Speaker 3: am I still stuck out here taking care of these sheep?

125
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:33,400
Speaker 3: I have so much more in me. But those years

126
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:39,440
Speaker 3: of isolation, when nobody knew David, when he felt forgotten, undervalued,

127
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:45,280
Speaker 3: those were incredibly important years. They were proving years, years

128
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:48,720
Speaker 3: when he showed God he would be faithful. He could

129
00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:52,440
Speaker 3: have slacked off, gotten discouraged, but he took care of

130
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:55,120
Speaker 3: those sheep like he was taking care of the nation.

131
00:07:56,000 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 3: He killed the lion and a bear with his own hands.

132
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:03,040
Speaker 3: His father would have understood if a few sheep were

133
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:07,040
Speaker 3: killed by a wild animal, no big deal. But David

134
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:11,640
Speaker 3: went the extra mile when nobody was watching. In anonymity,

135
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:15,440
Speaker 3: when nobody knew his name, he was a person of excellence.

136
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:20,000
Speaker 3: I can imagine when he was out there alone, nobody

137
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:22,880
Speaker 3: to talk to, he would look up into the skies

138
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:27,400
Speaker 3: and talk to God. In that time of isolation, he

139
00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:31,640
Speaker 3: drew close to his creator. Maybe that's where he wrote

140
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:34,840
Speaker 3: some of the psalms that we read today. Instead of

141
00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:38,240
Speaker 3: complaining God, was it taking so long? The Lord is

142
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:42,319
Speaker 3: my shepherd. I shall not want. Surely goodness and mercy

143
00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:45,840
Speaker 3: will follow me all the days of my life. After

144
00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:49,680
Speaker 3: he passed the test of obscurity, God knew he could

145
00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:54,760
Speaker 3: trust him with notoriety. Like David, you may have big dreams.

146
00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:59,040
Speaker 3: God has spoken promises over you, but nobody is noticing

147
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:04,080
Speaker 3: you not see an increase promotion. Don't get discouraged. It's

148
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:08,800
Speaker 3: because God has you hidden. You're not off course, you're

149
00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:12,439
Speaker 3: not falling behind. You are in a time of preparation,

150
00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:16,960
Speaker 3: a time of training. God is getting you ready for

151
00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:19,920
Speaker 3: what he has in store. If you will keep doing

152
00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:23,200
Speaker 3: the right thing, you will come into a time where

153
00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:28,040
Speaker 3: God causes you to be seen. Promotion doesn't come from people,

154
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:32,560
Speaker 3: It comes from the Lord. When it's your time, no

155
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:37,840
Speaker 3: person can stop you, no bad break, no injustice. Just

156
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:41,480
Speaker 3: as God hids you, he will bring you out into

157
00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:45,200
Speaker 3: the open. He will shine down his favor and cause

158
00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:47,640
Speaker 3: you to go where you couldn't go on your own.

159
00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:51,560
Speaker 3: Now you may feel like you're hidden, but don't be

160
00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:55,880
Speaker 3: frustrated thinking you're falling behind, and look who's getting ahead

161
00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:59,319
Speaker 3: of me. When God brings you out, he will catapult

162
00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:02,400
Speaker 3: you forward. He will make up for the lost time.

163
00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:06,680
Speaker 3: When you have an expensive piece of jewelry, a diamond ring,

164
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:10,040
Speaker 3: you put it in a box and hide it. You

165
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:12,920
Speaker 3: don't wear it around the house to go work out,

166
00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:16,400
Speaker 3: to run up to the grocery store. It's valuable, so

167
00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:19,319
Speaker 3: you keep it hidden, and at the right time, when

168
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:22,520
Speaker 3: you're going somewhere special, you bring it out for people

169
00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:26,640
Speaker 3: to see. In the same way, the reason you're hidden

170
00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:31,560
Speaker 3: is because you're extremely valuable. You're like that diamond you're

171
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:35,080
Speaker 3: going to shine. God's waiting for the right time to

172
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:38,840
Speaker 3: bring you out. You are not hidden because you're ordinary.

173
00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:42,800
Speaker 3: You're not hidden because you're average. You're hidden because you're

174
00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:47,080
Speaker 3: a masterpiece. God breeds his life into you. You have

175
00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:51,680
Speaker 3: seeds of greatness. Don't let the silence discourage you. Your

176
00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:56,760
Speaker 3: time is coming now. In the isolation, you have to

177
00:10:56,880 --> 00:11:00,600
Speaker 3: deal with the issues God brings to light. Let him

178
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:04,880
Speaker 3: develop you like David. Do the right thing when it's hard,

179
00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:08,880
Speaker 3: keep a good attitude when you're being treated wrong, go

180
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:12,960
Speaker 3: the extra mile when nobody is watching. When you're hidden,

181
00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:16,920
Speaker 3: you won't see anything happening on the outside, but I

182
00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:20,679
Speaker 3: can assure you on the inside, God is doing a work.

183
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:24,959
Speaker 3: That's an opportunity to grow, to come up higher. You're

184
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:29,120
Speaker 3: getting prepared for new levels. It's like a tree I

185
00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:32,120
Speaker 3: have this big oak in my backyard, and in the

186
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:36,160
Speaker 3: wintertime it loses all of its leaves. It looks dead.

187
00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:40,920
Speaker 3: It's bearing just a bunch of branches, no life. But

188
00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:45,360
Speaker 3: what we can't see is while everything looks stagnant on

189
00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:49,880
Speaker 3: the outside, on the inside the tree is gathering up

190
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:54,840
Speaker 3: sap for spring growth. Without that time of baredness, where

191
00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:58,000
Speaker 3: it's cold and looks like nothing is happening, the tree

192
00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:02,439
Speaker 3: wouldn't have any new growth. In the seasons of silence,

193
00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:06,320
Speaker 3: when you feel like you're hidden, nothing positive has taking

194
00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:10,600
Speaker 3: place like this tree. What you can't see is you're

195
00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:14,360
Speaker 3: gathering up SAPs, so to speak. Your spiritual muscles are

196
00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:18,880
Speaker 3: getting stronger. You're learning to trust God in a new way.

197
00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:22,839
Speaker 3: This time is important because when God brings you out

198
00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:29,040
Speaker 3: to new levels, into greater opportunities, you will see greater opposition,

199
00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:34,360
Speaker 3: bigger obstacles, more coming against you. If God brought you

200
00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:37,959
Speaker 3: out before you were ready, you couldn't handle it, So

201
00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:42,400
Speaker 3: He uses the hidden seasons to toughen us up. The

202
00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:46,960
Speaker 3: scripture says God didn't take the Israelites the shortest route

203
00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:50,640
Speaker 3: to the Promised Land because they weren't prepared for war.

204
00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:55,400
Speaker 3: God knew they would have been defeated, so he hid them.

205
00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:59,079
Speaker 3: They went through this season of silence where they didn't

206
00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:02,680
Speaker 3: see anything happen. Happening now, the mistake they made is

207
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:06,960
Speaker 3: they started complaining, God, why is it taking so long? God?

208
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:08,880
Speaker 3: Why are we still out here in the desert? God?

209
00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:12,480
Speaker 3: Why are we making more progress? God was doing them

210
00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:16,320
Speaker 3: a favor, but they didn't recognize it. Don't do like

211
00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:20,440
Speaker 3: they did. You may not understand the path that God

212
00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:24,240
Speaker 3: has taking you and why it's not happening faster. But

213
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:28,480
Speaker 3: God knows what he's doing. He uses the delays, the

214
00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:32,640
Speaker 3: difficulties to get us prepared. None of us like the

215
00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:37,000
Speaker 3: slow seasons, and especially the unfair seasons. We lost a

216
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:41,200
Speaker 3: loved one, a friend walked away, a dream didn't work out.

217
00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:44,040
Speaker 3: It's easy to thank God, why didn't you stop it?

218
00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:47,080
Speaker 3: Why didn't you heal my father? Why didn't you keep

219
00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:52,520
Speaker 3: them from betraying me? But God doesn't waste anything, the difficulties,

220
00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:57,479
Speaker 3: the delays, the losses. If we will keep the right attitude,

221
00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:01,680
Speaker 3: it's all working for our goods. It's getting us toughened up.

222
00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:06,480
Speaker 3: Because where you're going, you can't be offended by every

223
00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:10,200
Speaker 3: negative comment. You have to have a backbone made of steel.

224
00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:15,000
Speaker 3: God can't promote you if you're going to be revengeful

225
00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:18,120
Speaker 3: and try to use that position to pay people back.

226
00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:20,960
Speaker 3: You have to let it go and trust God to

227
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:26,160
Speaker 3: be your vindicator. If you're intimidated by the opposition, overwhelmed

228
00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:29,840
Speaker 3: by difficulties, it will keep you from your destiny. In

229
00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:34,200
Speaker 3: these silent seasons, like the Israelites, we can think God,

230
00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:36,960
Speaker 3: the Promised Land is that way? Why are you taking

231
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:40,520
Speaker 3: me the long route. You have to trust God. He

232
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:44,640
Speaker 3: can see things that you can't see. He knows what's best.

233
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:48,200
Speaker 3: It's all a part of the process to get you prepared,

234
00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:52,000
Speaker 3: to get you developed. He knows what you're going to need.

235
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:56,160
Speaker 3: I face challenges today that if I would have faced

236
00:14:56,200 --> 00:15:00,000
Speaker 3: twenty years ago, they would have defeated me. My personality,

237
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:04,240
Speaker 3: the type is to want everyone to like me. When

238
00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:07,240
Speaker 3: I was working behind the scenes those seventeen years, that

239
00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:09,640
Speaker 3: was easy. I had a dozen friends and they all

240
00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:12,640
Speaker 3: liked me, at least I think they did. But when

241
00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:16,480
Speaker 3: God promoted me and put me in front of more people,

242
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:20,040
Speaker 3: I found out that some people didn't like me, and

243
00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:22,600
Speaker 3: that would have bothered me back then and made me

244
00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:28,120
Speaker 3: feel insecure. Intimidated. But I've learned my approval doesn't come

245
00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:33,880
Speaker 3: from people. It comes from God. God had to toughen

246
00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:38,160
Speaker 3: me up. Now when things come against me, I think

247
00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:42,360
Speaker 3: I buried my father. I went through that loss. I

248
00:15:42,440 --> 00:15:44,960
Speaker 3: learned how to minister when I didn't think I could.

249
00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:48,200
Speaker 3: I fought for the compact center when every voice said

250
00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:50,520
Speaker 3: we'd never get it. If I can make it through

251
00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:54,560
Speaker 3: those difficulties, then I could make it through anything. The

252
00:15:54,600 --> 00:16:00,280
Speaker 3: scripture says, these light afflictions are for a moment. They're

253
00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:04,480
Speaker 3: working in us and eternal weight of glory. Somebody not

254
00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:08,000
Speaker 3: being for you, that's a light affliction. That's like a

255
00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:11,400
Speaker 3: little gnat. Just flick that away. Your time is too

256
00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:15,280
Speaker 3: valuable to waste on petty things. But when you've been

257
00:16:15,320 --> 00:16:21,200
Speaker 3: through some difficulties, through some losses, through some golias, you

258
00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:24,880
Speaker 3: don't complain about not getting a parking spot. You don't

259
00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:28,040
Speaker 3: fall apart because somebody left you out. You don't give

260
00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:30,760
Speaker 3: up on a dream because it didn't turn out your way.

261
00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:34,680
Speaker 3: You know it's a light affliction and it's working for

262
00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:39,320
Speaker 3: your good. Now you may be in a season of silence.

263
00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:43,560
Speaker 3: You feel like you're hidden, but the silence doesn't mean

264
00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:48,320
Speaker 3: God has forgotten about you. He's heard every prayer, he's

265
00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:52,280
Speaker 3: seen every tear, and at the right time, God is

266
00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:56,840
Speaker 3: going to bring you into what He's already prepared. God

267
00:16:56,960 --> 00:17:01,120
Speaker 3: is not preparing the blessing for you. He's preparing you

268
00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:05,680
Speaker 3: for the blessing. The Promised Land was already in place.

269
00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:10,080
Speaker 3: He had to get the Israelites prepared. Favor is already

270
00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:13,520
Speaker 3: in your future. There are blessings that already have your

271
00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:18,480
Speaker 3: name on them, the right people, divine connections already lined up.

272
00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:22,600
Speaker 3: You keep passing the tesk in the silent seasons, you

273
00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:25,600
Speaker 3: keep getting prepared, and you're going to come in to

274
00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:29,200
Speaker 3: more than you can ask or think. But what stops

275
00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:33,080
Speaker 3: some people is they don't like the preparation you have

276
00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:37,000
Speaker 3: to deal with the issues God's bring into light. Maybe

277
00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:40,399
Speaker 3: God's asking you to put down your pride, forgive the

278
00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:43,399
Speaker 3: person that did you wrong, or to start saying no

279
00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:46,679
Speaker 3: to the compromise, no to the jealousy, no to the

280
00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:50,919
Speaker 3: critical spirit. Don't let a small thing keep you hidden.

281
00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:55,399
Speaker 3: Don't let something you know you can overcome keep you

282
00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:59,520
Speaker 3: from the amazing future that belongs to you. You're not

283
00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:03,000
Speaker 3: hidden because God is mad at you. You are hidden

284
00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:07,080
Speaker 3: Because God loves you so much, He's getting you prepared

285
00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:11,400
Speaker 3: to go where you've never gone. Now, in the isolation,

286
00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:16,000
Speaker 3: in the anonymity, where you're not seeing increase, you're not

287
00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:20,480
Speaker 3: getting good breaks. Like David, use that time to draw

288
00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:24,800
Speaker 3: close to God. One thing about being isolated where you

289
00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:27,400
Speaker 3: don't have a lot of people or things to give

290
00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:31,320
Speaker 3: your attention to, You can turn your attention towards your

291
00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:37,520
Speaker 3: heavenly Father. Learn to talk to God, develop a deeper relationship.

292
00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:40,960
Speaker 3: Not just a Sunday morning God, but all through the

293
00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:44,600
Speaker 3: day in your thoughts. Talk to God like you talk

294
00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:48,440
Speaker 3: to a friend. God will be as involved in your

295
00:18:48,480 --> 00:18:51,240
Speaker 3: life as much as you want him to be. If

296
00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:54,560
Speaker 3: you keep God in a Sunday morning box, he'll stay there,

297
00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:58,119
Speaker 3: but he wants to be so much more. Tyler Perry

298
00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:00,919
Speaker 3: told how as a young man he had a dream

299
00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:04,399
Speaker 3: to put on plays. He's always been very creative and

300
00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:08,480
Speaker 3: had a vivid imagination. That's a little boy. He was

301
00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:12,159
Speaker 3: mistreated by his father, and the way he would escape

302
00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:15,960
Speaker 3: the pain is to go out under his front porch alone,

303
00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:19,840
Speaker 3: and he'd come up with these amazing stories in his mind.

304
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:22,560
Speaker 3: He would go to a different world when he was

305
00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:25,880
Speaker 3: in his early twenties. He borrowed three hundred dollars from

306
00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:30,000
Speaker 3: a family member and rented a small theater in Atlanta.

307
00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:34,440
Speaker 3: He passed out flowers all over the community. He was excited,

308
00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:38,520
Speaker 3: this was his big debut, but nobody showed up. This

309
00:19:38,640 --> 00:19:42,600
Speaker 3: happened again and again. His family told him to forget

310
00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:46,400
Speaker 3: about the plays, go get a normal job. Every time

311
00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:49,880
Speaker 3: he wanted to quit, somebody would step up and underwrite

312
00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:53,760
Speaker 3: the next play. One play, only a few people showed up.

313
00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:57,359
Speaker 3: He was so disappointed. He couldn't pay the building, couldn't

314
00:19:57,359 --> 00:20:00,119
Speaker 3: pay his staff. That was it. He was done. But

315
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:03,679
Speaker 3: afterwards a man from the audience came and said, I

316
00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:07,280
Speaker 3: love that. I want to support your next play. You

317
00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:10,440
Speaker 3: may be hidden, but God will always have the right

318
00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:15,560
Speaker 3: people there to help keep you going. For seven years,

319
00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:20,000
Speaker 3: it was a struggle. At times. Tyler was homeless living

320
00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:23,000
Speaker 3: out of his car. Twenty dollars was the difference of

321
00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:27,120
Speaker 3: him eating that whole week. An opportunity came for him

322
00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:30,199
Speaker 3: to take the play to South Carolina. He thought this

323
00:20:30,359 --> 00:20:33,720
Speaker 3: was his big break. Loaded up the truck started driving.

324
00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:36,640
Speaker 3: Then it came on the news, A hurricane is coming

325
00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:41,919
Speaker 3: to South Carolina. Another disappointment. Tyler had the talent, he

326
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:45,320
Speaker 3: had the creativity, he had the skills, But he said,

327
00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:49,720
Speaker 3: God hid me on purpose. I didn't have the maturity,

328
00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:52,600
Speaker 3: and if God would have given it to me back then,

329
00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:57,080
Speaker 3: I wouldn't have been able to sustain it. Back in Atlanta,

330
00:20:57,320 --> 00:21:01,440
Speaker 3: he rented another theater decided to try again. He thought

331
00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:05,080
Speaker 3: it'd be the same result, another disappointment. This time on

332
00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:08,720
Speaker 3: opening night, he peeked out the window. People were lined

333
00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:12,080
Speaker 3: up around the block waiting to get in. He couldn't

334
00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:18,320
Speaker 3: quit whipping. That night was the start of something amazing. Today,

335
00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:22,960
Speaker 3: Tyler Perry has become the most successful African American film

336
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:28,600
Speaker 3: producer in history. You may be hidden, but when it's

337
00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:32,359
Speaker 3: your time, God knows how to bring you out. What

338
00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:36,520
Speaker 3: He has prepared is bigger than anything you can imagine.

339
00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:40,720
Speaker 3: What's significant is Tyler told me. None of this success

340
00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:45,879
Speaker 3: happened until he forgave his father. For years, he was bitter.

341
00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:50,040
Speaker 3: He couldn't understand why his father treated him so badly.

342
00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:53,639
Speaker 3: One day, he went to visit his father with a

343
00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:57,679
Speaker 3: new perspective to try to understand who he was as

344
00:21:57,720 --> 00:22:01,639
Speaker 3: a person, not as a parent. He began to learn

345
00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:05,200
Speaker 3: how his father didn't have any training, didn't have any

346
00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:08,800
Speaker 3: guidance growing up, He didn't know any better. And Tyler,

347
00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:11,920
Speaker 3: once he understood what his father dealt with, he didn't

348
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:15,520
Speaker 3: excuse his actions, but he did make the decision to

349
00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:20,160
Speaker 3: forgive him. That's when doors begin to open. When you're

350
00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:23,560
Speaker 3: in these seasons of silence, when you feel like you're hidden,

351
00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:28,360
Speaker 3: it's so important to look inside and deal with things

352
00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:31,560
Speaker 3: that could be holding you back. You can have the

353
00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:34,880
Speaker 3: talent to go somewhere, but if you don't have the character,

354
00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:38,639
Speaker 3: if you're not willing to forgive, keep giving into compromise,

355
00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:41,240
Speaker 3: if you don't treat people right, that will keep you

356
00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:45,520
Speaker 3: from your best. We see this in the scripture with Joseph.

357
00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:49,520
Speaker 3: He was hidden for thirteen years. He was betrayed by

358
00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:53,560
Speaker 3: his family, falsely accused by a lady, put in prison

359
00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:57,879
Speaker 3: for something that he didn't do. The reason Joseph fulfilled

360
00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:01,879
Speaker 3: his purpose is he kept passing these tests. He showed

361
00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:06,399
Speaker 3: God he would forgive in prison. Instead of sitting around bitter,

362
00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:10,080
Speaker 3: he helped the butler get out of prison. He's so deceved.

363
00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:14,560
Speaker 3: Nothing that's happened to you is a surprise to God.

364
00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:17,840
Speaker 3: He wouldn't have allowed it. If he didn't have a plan,

365
00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:20,879
Speaker 3: it may have been meant to harm you, but God

366
00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:24,560
Speaker 3: knows how to turn it to your advantage. God did

367
00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:28,560
Speaker 3: not create you to stay hidden. It may look like

368
00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:31,600
Speaker 3: it's never going to change. The truth is it's a

369
00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:36,359
Speaker 3: season of silence, not a lifetime of silence. What God

370
00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:39,960
Speaker 3: has spoken over you, there is an appointed time for

371
00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:44,199
Speaker 3: it to come to pass. Keep growing, keep improving. The

372
00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:49,880
Speaker 3: silence is only temporary. Matthew. Chapter sixteen, Jesus asked Peter,

373
00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:53,560
Speaker 3: who do you say that I am? Peter answered, you're

374
00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:57,480
Speaker 3: the Messiah, the son of the Living God. Verse twenty

375
00:23:57,560 --> 00:24:02,480
Speaker 3: says Jesus sternly warned him to not tell anyone who

376
00:24:02,520 --> 00:24:06,679
Speaker 3: he was. Jesus knew he was supposed to be hidden.

377
00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:10,919
Speaker 3: He knew it wasn't his time. Yet another place, the

378
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:15,399
Speaker 3: people believed in Jesus so strongly they wanted to crown

379
00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:19,439
Speaker 3: him keen. But the scripture says Jesus snuck away and

380
00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:23,280
Speaker 3: went up and hid in the mountains. He knew he

381
00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:26,919
Speaker 3: couldn't be crowned before he went to the cross. He

382
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:32,160
Speaker 3: trusted his father's timing. Like Jesus, we can't be crowned

383
00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:35,199
Speaker 3: before we go to our cross, so to speak, before

384
00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:38,520
Speaker 3: we learn to crucify our flesh and resist things that

385
00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:43,200
Speaker 3: are holding us back. He told his disciples to stay silent,

386
00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:47,360
Speaker 3: to not tell anyone he was the Messiah. A lot

387
00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:50,120
Speaker 3: of us would be just the opposite. Go ahead, Peter,

388
00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:53,680
Speaker 3: get the word out. Let everyone know how great I am.

389
00:24:53,800 --> 00:24:57,920
Speaker 3: It's much better to let God promote you and not people.

390
00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:01,760
Speaker 3: Don't get in a hurry. You don't have to make

391
00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:05,640
Speaker 3: things happen. You don't have to convince someone to put

392
00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:08,520
Speaker 3: in a good word for you. God knew how to

393
00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:12,360
Speaker 3: hide you, and he knows how to elevate you. If

394
00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:15,280
Speaker 3: you'll let God do it his way, it will be

395
00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:19,080
Speaker 3: better than anything you could have made happen. God has

396
00:25:19,119 --> 00:25:22,679
Speaker 3: not forgotten about you. He knows you're hidden, and he

397
00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:25,760
Speaker 3: knows how long you've been there. He knows what's in you.

398
00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:29,560
Speaker 3: He's the one that put the gifts, the talents, the dreams.

399
00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:32,879
Speaker 3: Instead of fighting the silence, why don't you do like

400
00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:37,280
Speaker 3: Jesus and embrace it. God, My times are in your hands.

401
00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:40,639
Speaker 3: I know you're getting me prepared, working all things for

402
00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:43,679
Speaker 3: my good, and at the appointed time, I know you

403
00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:47,879
Speaker 3: will bring me out. Elijah was one of the greatest

404
00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:51,160
Speaker 3: prophets in the Bible. As a young man, he spent

405
00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:54,919
Speaker 3: time studying and preparing for ministry. He just gone to

406
00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:57,800
Speaker 3: the palace and spoken the word of the Lord, the

407
00:25:57,880 --> 00:26:01,439
Speaker 3: king Ahab. No one else had the courage to speak

408
00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:05,520
Speaker 3: up to the king. I'm sure Elijah left there feeling confident,

409
00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:09,199
Speaker 3: ready for his next assignment. God said to him in

410
00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:15,040
Speaker 3: one king seventeen, leave here, go east and hide yourself

411
00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:19,840
Speaker 3: by the brook Cherith. I can imagine him saying, excuse me, God,

412
00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:23,359
Speaker 3: you must have the wrong person. I'm Elijah. I just

413
00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:27,360
Speaker 3: prophesied to the king. I've studied more than anyone. I'm

414
00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:30,000
Speaker 3: ready to go on a national tour. You don't want

415
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:34,240
Speaker 3: me to hide myself. Elijah wanted to speak to the nation,

416
00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:37,360
Speaker 3: but for the next three and a half years he

417
00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:41,360
Speaker 3: only spoke to a widow and her son. God hid him.

418
00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:45,040
Speaker 3: He didn't understand it. He had bigger things in his heart,

419
00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:49,399
Speaker 3: but he trusted God's timing. He was faithful when he

420
00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:53,760
Speaker 3: was hidden. When you're faithful in the silent seasons, you

421
00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:57,280
Speaker 3: are setting yourself on a launching pad for God to

422
00:26:57,359 --> 00:27:01,199
Speaker 3: take you further than you've ever dreamed. After three and

423
00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:04,520
Speaker 3: a half years. God said, okay, Elijah, now I know

424
00:27:04,760 --> 00:27:07,639
Speaker 3: I can trust you. You're ready, leave here and go

425
00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:12,760
Speaker 3: in your next assignment. He was hidden, Elisha prayed, and

426
00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:15,680
Speaker 3: the drought came to an end. He called down fire

427
00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:19,080
Speaker 3: from heaven, destroyed four hundred false prophets, on and on.

428
00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:24,560
Speaker 3: It's interesting he performed no miracles until after his season

429
00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:29,840
Speaker 3: of silence. Don't be frustrated when you're hidden. Jesus was hidden,

430
00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:33,200
Speaker 3: Elijah was hidden, David was hidden. It's all a part

431
00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:37,200
Speaker 3: of the process. Here's the beauty. You're hidden number one

432
00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:41,760
Speaker 3: because you're extremely valuable, like that diamond. Number two. You're

433
00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:46,080
Speaker 3: hidden because God is about to launch you. You're on

434
00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:50,920
Speaker 3: the verge of seeing promotion, favor increase like you've never seen.

435
00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:54,000
Speaker 3: You may have been hidden for a long time, but

436
00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:58,520
Speaker 3: you've been faithful. You've been growing, getting prepared. I believe

437
00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:01,320
Speaker 3: and declare God God is about to bring you out.

438
00:28:01,840 --> 00:28:04,920
Speaker 3: He's about to cause you to be seen. People are

439
00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:08,639
Speaker 3: going to notice you that have never noticed. Keep being faithful.

440
00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:12,920
Speaker 3: Your appointed time is on the way in Jesus' name,

441
00:28:13,520 --> 00:28:15,840
Speaker 3: and if you receive it, can you say men? Today,

442
00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:20,360
Speaker 3: I'd like to give you an opportunity to make Jesus

443
00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:22,639
Speaker 3: the Lord of your life. Would you pray with me?

444
00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:29,000
Speaker 3: Just say, Lord Jesus, I'll repent of my sins. Come

445
00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:32,920
Speaker 3: into my heart. I make you my Lord and savior.

446
00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:36,760
Speaker 3: If you prayed that simple prayer, we believe you got

447
00:28:36,760 --> 00:28:39,760
Speaker 3: born again. Get in a good Bible based church, and

448
00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:41,280
Speaker 3: keep God first place.
