They 46 00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:20,560 Speaker 5: were brothers. They were spending the night at their grandmother's house. 47 00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:23,320 Speaker 5: She told them to make sure they said their prayers 48 00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:24,440 Speaker 5: before they went to bed. 49 00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:27,040 Speaker 4: They went in the bedroom, got on their knees. 50 00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:31,919 Speaker 5: The youngest boy started praying at the top of his lungs. God, 51 00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:34,760 Speaker 5: I pray for a new bicycle. I pray for a 52 00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:37,040 Speaker 5: new PlayStation. I pray for a new DVD. 53 00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:39,600 Speaker 4: Brother punched him, said, why are you screaming? 54 00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:42,679 Speaker 5: God isn't death. He said, I know that, But grandmother 55 00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:47,200 Speaker 5: is hold up your Bible. Say it like you mean it. 56 00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:49,840 Speaker 5: This is my Bible. I am what it says. 57 00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:50,200 Speaker 4: I am. 58 00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:53,000 Speaker 5: I have what it says I have. I can do 59 00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:55,640 Speaker 5: what it says I can do. Today I will be 60 00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:59,480 Speaker 5: taught the word of God. I boldly confess. My mind 61 00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:02,720 Speaker 5: is alert, my heart is receptive. I will never be 62 00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:07,560 Speaker 5: the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you. I want 63 00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:10,919 Speaker 5: to talk to you today about stored up blessings. When 64 00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:13,720 Speaker 5: God laid out the plan for your life, he put 65 00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:17,480 Speaker 5: in it everything you need to fulfill your destiny. 66 00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:20,680 Speaker 4: He's already lined up the right people, the right. 67 00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:26,040 Speaker 5: Breaks favor increase Psalm thirty one says, God has great 68 00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:31,040 Speaker 5: blessings stored up for those that honor him. Promotion is 69 00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:34,800 Speaker 5: stored up for you single people. There's a husband, a 70 00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:38,360 Speaker 5: wife stored up for you. That baby you've been dreaming 71 00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:41,880 Speaker 5: about is stored up, a contract. 72 00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:45,400 Speaker 4: A business healing. It already has your name on it. 73 00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:46,520 Speaker 4: It belongs to you. 74 00:03:47,160 --> 00:03:50,400 Speaker 5: If you'll keep honoring God at the right time, you'll 75 00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:53,480 Speaker 5: come in to a stored up blessing. You won't have 76 00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:57,240 Speaker 5: to go after it. It will find you what God 77 00:03:57,280 --> 00:03:58,040 Speaker 5: has destined for. 78 00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:00,000 Speaker 4: You can't go to anyone else. 79 00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:03,400 Speaker 5: That's why you don't have to be frustrated when you 80 00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:07,000 Speaker 5: see other people being blessed. A friend moves into a 81 00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:09,880 Speaker 5: new house. You've been believing for ten years for a 82 00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:13,760 Speaker 5: better place to live. You come every Sunday give serve. 83 00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:16,839 Speaker 5: They're just the opposite. Joel, I don't understand it. I 84 00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:19,679 Speaker 5: wish I had that house. No, if you had, it 85 00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:22,000 Speaker 5: wouldn't be a blessing, it would be a burden. 86 00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:23,760 Speaker 4: It wasn't destined for. 87 00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:27,479 Speaker 5: You what God has stored up for You cannot go 88 00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:30,400 Speaker 5: to anyone else. There's a house with your name on it, 89 00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:32,960 Speaker 5: a spouse with your name on it, healing with your 90 00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:36,800 Speaker 5: name on it. When the prophet Samuel came to Jesse's 91 00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:40,040 Speaker 5: house to anoint one of his sons as the next king, 92 00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:43,719 Speaker 5: he poured oil on each of the seven sons, but 93 00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:47,400 Speaker 5: the oil would not flow, even though he turned it 94 00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:52,680 Speaker 5: upside down. The oil defied gravity. Why because the oil 95 00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:54,040 Speaker 5: had been stored. 96 00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:54,480 Speaker 4: Up for David. 97 00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:58,080 Speaker 5: God had already destined him to be the next king. 98 00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:01,000 Speaker 5: No matter how hard saying you'll try to get the 99 00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:04,000 Speaker 5: oil out, hitting the bottom of the bottle, he couldn't 100 00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:07,080 Speaker 5: do it. But when he came to David, it was 101 00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:11,760 Speaker 5: like somebody opened the floodgates. The oil freely flowed. The 102 00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:14,680 Speaker 5: oil that God has for you is not going to 103 00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:18,400 Speaker 5: flow to anyone else. Don't be jealous because a friend 104 00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:22,680 Speaker 5: got a promotion. Don't be frustrated because your business partner 105 00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:26,200 Speaker 5: saw a dream come to pass. They're not getting your oil. 106 00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:30,080 Speaker 5: If you got what they have, it wouldn't help you, 107 00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:33,560 Speaker 5: It would hinder you. What God has stored up for 108 00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:37,440 Speaker 5: you will be a perfect fit for your life. And 109 00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:41,640 Speaker 5: when you understand this, you'll celebrate the success of others. 110 00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:45,320 Speaker 5: You'll be happy for their promotion, happy for their new house, 111 00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:48,920 Speaker 5: happy for their beautiful baby. Knowing that what God did 112 00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:51,960 Speaker 5: for them is not going to stop what God's going 113 00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:55,400 Speaker 5: to do for you. Sometimes we act like God has 114 00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:59,760 Speaker 5: a limited supply of favor. If my coworker gets promoted, 115 00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:02,080 Speaker 5: that may keep God from promoting me. 116 00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:06,039 Speaker 4: It's a long perspective. God never runs out of favor. 117 00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:08,920 Speaker 4: He has unlimited resources. 118 00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:12,480 Speaker 5: Somebody else being blessed is not going to stop God 119 00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:17,080 Speaker 5: from blessing you. When you celebrate others, you're passing the test. 120 00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:21,279 Speaker 5: When you're happy for their success, God can release what 121 00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:24,920 Speaker 5: He has stored up for you. Maybe you're single and 122 00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:27,120 Speaker 5: you've been believing for a long long time to meet 123 00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:30,680 Speaker 5: the right person. Your best friend just met the man 124 00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:35,679 Speaker 5: of her dreams. He's tall, dark, handsome, romantic. They're madly 125 00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:38,960 Speaker 5: in love planning their wedding. She asks you to be 126 00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:41,880 Speaker 5: the maid of honor. You say yes, I'd be thrilled 127 00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:45,919 Speaker 5: to do it. Deep down, you're thinking, I am so depressed. God, 128 00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:48,440 Speaker 5: why didn't I meet him first? I'm more attractive than 129 00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:51,400 Speaker 5: she is. No, be happy for her. 130 00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:53,920 Speaker 4: She's not taking your blessing. 131 00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:58,240 Speaker 5: What has your name on it cannot go to anyone else. 132 00:06:58,920 --> 00:06:59,960 Speaker 4: Your time is coming. 133 00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:04,520 Speaker 5: There is a husband stored up for you that will 134 00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:06,880 Speaker 5: be a perfect fit, better than. 135 00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:08,880 Speaker 4: You could imagine. They're headed your way. 136 00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:11,960 Speaker 5: Could happen today, could happen this week. You could see 137 00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:16,119 Speaker 5: a stored up blessing released in your life. This takes 138 00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:19,120 Speaker 5: all the pressure off. You don't have to live frustrated, 139 00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:21,920 Speaker 5: wondering if a dream's going to come to pass, or 140 00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:25,600 Speaker 5: worried that a problem won't work out, jealous. Because a 141 00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:29,200 Speaker 5: friend God of promotion, you can stay in peace knowing 142 00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:31,680 Speaker 5: that what has your name on it is not going 143 00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:34,240 Speaker 5: to go to any other person. That God's going to 144 00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:37,800 Speaker 5: get you to where you're supposed to be. Sometimes it's 145 00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:41,520 Speaker 5: taking a long time. People are passing us up. We've 146 00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:46,400 Speaker 5: missed opportunities, made some mistakes. Those voices start whispering, it's 147 00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:48,960 Speaker 5: never going to happen. You're never going to get well, 148 00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:52,800 Speaker 5: never break the addiction, never meet the right person. It's 149 00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:55,800 Speaker 5: easy to get discouraged, give up on what we're believing. 150 00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:59,520 Speaker 5: For this is the way Peter felt in the scripture. 151 00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:02,320 Speaker 5: He was out in his boat with some of the 152 00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:07,360 Speaker 5: other disciples fishing. His good friend Jesus had just been crucified. 153 00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:11,200 Speaker 5: When Jesus needed him the most, Peter denied that he 154 00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:14,960 Speaker 5: knew him. Peter not only felt guilty about it, but 155 00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:16,080 Speaker 5: he was confused. 156 00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:18,440 Speaker 4: This man he believed. 157 00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:21,360 Speaker 5: To be the Messiah was no longer with them. He 158 00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:23,480 Speaker 5: said he would rise from the dead, but they didn't 159 00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:26,480 Speaker 5: see any sign of it. So Peter went back to 160 00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:30,560 Speaker 5: his previous profession. He was an experienced fisherman. 161 00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:32,360 Speaker 4: He'd done it for many years. 162 00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:36,240 Speaker 5: He'd been out in his boat all night fishing and 163 00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:41,720 Speaker 5: caught nothing. He'd worked hard, used his best efforts, put 164 00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:44,600 Speaker 5: on the right bait through the nets where he thought 165 00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:47,080 Speaker 5: the fish would be, again and again. 166 00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:49,240 Speaker 4: Hour after hour, no success. 167 00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:54,520 Speaker 5: Early the next morning, this man shouted from the shore boys, 168 00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:58,680 Speaker 5: have you caught any fish? They didn't recognize it was Jesus. 169 00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:02,839 Speaker 5: Peter said, no, they haven't caught anything. Jesus said, then 170 00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:05,520 Speaker 5: throw your nets on the right side of the boat 171 00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:09,080 Speaker 5: and watch what will happen. I'm sure they thought, who 172 00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:11,960 Speaker 5: does this guy think he is telling us how to fish. 173 00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:16,840 Speaker 5: We're professionals, we're tired, we're hot, we're aggravated, we're frustrated. 174 00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:18,400 Speaker 4: There are no fish out here. 175 00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:21,480 Speaker 5: They almost talked themselves out of it, but at the. 176 00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:25,400 Speaker 4: Last moment Peter changed his mind. He thought, what do 177 00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:26,240 Speaker 4: we have to lose. 178 00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:28,600 Speaker 5: What's it going to hurt for us to throw out 179 00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:32,040 Speaker 5: our nets one more time? They threw the nets on 180 00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:34,680 Speaker 5: the right side of the boat, and they caught so 181 00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:37,840 Speaker 5: many fish that they could not haul it in right 182 00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:40,080 Speaker 5: then they recognized that it was Jesus. 183 00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:44,040 Speaker 4: Here's my point. God knows where your fish are. 184 00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:48,240 Speaker 5: Just because you haven't seen them yet doesn't mean that 185 00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:49,080 Speaker 5: you've missed them. 186 00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:53,160 Speaker 4: Like Peter, you may have worked hard, given it your. 187 00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:57,880 Speaker 5: Best effort, use your expertise, your skills, exhausted your resources, 188 00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:01,600 Speaker 5: your connections, but you came up empty. Now you don't 189 00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:04,559 Speaker 5: think it's ever going to happen. Joel, I'll never get well, 190 00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:07,640 Speaker 5: I'll never meet the right person. I'll never accomplish this dream. 191 00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:12,439 Speaker 5: I've tried everything. I've worked two jobs, I've gone through rehab. 192 00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:15,840 Speaker 5: I've put my profile on forty seven dating websites. 193 00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:20,600 Speaker 4: Only two people were interested in They were both over eighty. 194 00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:25,400 Speaker 5: You're tired, you're frustrated. You could easily give up. Here's 195 00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:29,280 Speaker 5: the good news. God knows where your fish are. He 196 00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:32,600 Speaker 5: knows where your husband is, he knows where your healing is, 197 00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:36,839 Speaker 5: where your victory is, where that new house is. It 198 00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:39,960 Speaker 5: may not have happened yet, But that doesn't mean it's 199 00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:44,000 Speaker 5: not going to happen. You always face the greatest opposition, 200 00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:48,800 Speaker 5: the greatest adversity, the greatest discouragement, right before the breakthrough, 201 00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:52,280 Speaker 5: right before the healing, right before you meet the person 202 00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:55,840 Speaker 5: of your dreams. God is saying to you, throw out 203 00:10:55,920 --> 00:11:00,600 Speaker 5: your nets one more time. That disappointment, the law, the 204 00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:02,600 Speaker 5: lack was only a test. 205 00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:06,360 Speaker 4: Your fish are still out there. What has your name 206 00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:06,719 Speaker 4: on it? 207 00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:10,000 Speaker 5: If you'll throw out your nets again, God will cause 208 00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:13,880 Speaker 5: those stored up blessings to find you. The fish may 209 00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:16,480 Speaker 5: not have been there last night, may not have worked 210 00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:20,840 Speaker 5: last time. That's okay. God controls the fish. He knows 211 00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:23,760 Speaker 5: how to get them into your net. Start believing again, 212 00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:25,359 Speaker 5: get your fire. 213 00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:29,760 Speaker 4: Back, Stir your faith up. What God started in your life. 214 00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:32,960 Speaker 5: He's going to finish what he promised you He will 215 00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:35,800 Speaker 5: bring to pass. You may have been struggling trying to 216 00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:39,080 Speaker 5: find the fish, working hard, giving it your best efforts, 217 00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:39,960 Speaker 5: no success. 218 00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:43,160 Speaker 4: This is a new day. The fish are going to 219 00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:43,720 Speaker 4: find you. 220 00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:47,080 Speaker 5: The scripture talks about how when you honor God, his 221 00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:50,080 Speaker 5: blessings will chase you down and overtake you. 222 00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:53,400 Speaker 4: When you believe that your best days are still in 223 00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:54,400 Speaker 4: front of you. 224 00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:56,800 Speaker 5: You believe that God will take you where you could 225 00:11:56,880 --> 00:11:59,160 Speaker 5: not go on your own. You will come to a 226 00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:02,800 Speaker 5: point where the fish will start tracking you down. God 227 00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:06,439 Speaker 5: will command his blessings to overtake you. I've seen this 228 00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:09,600 Speaker 5: again and again in my own life. What I couldn't 229 00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:13,360 Speaker 5: make happen, in my own talent, my own ability, suddenly 230 00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:17,360 Speaker 5: God causes it to happen. The fish found me at 231 00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:20,640 Speaker 5: twenty three years of age. I walked into a jewelry 232 00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:25,079 Speaker 5: store to buy battery for my watch, and outwalked Victoria 233 00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:28,640 Speaker 5: to wait on me. The most beautiful girl i'd ever seen. 234 00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:33,160 Speaker 5: You know what, She was a fish. God caused her 235 00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:35,880 Speaker 5: to come into my net and I never. 236 00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:41,640 Speaker 4: Let her out. That's a whole different message there. When 237 00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:42,559 Speaker 4: my dad was the. 238 00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:45,720 Speaker 5: Pastorn, I worked behind the scenes. We used to do 239 00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:50,320 Speaker 5: these big productions. I love to do concerts, television specials. 240 00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:51,880 Speaker 4: That's what I loved doing. 241 00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:54,880 Speaker 5: But later in my father's life, he didn't want to 242 00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:57,400 Speaker 5: do any more of that. I was kind of disappointed. 243 00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:00,880 Speaker 5: I was young, I had big dream, big goals. 244 00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:03,360 Speaker 4: I didn't want to do less. I wanted to do more. 245 00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:06,720 Speaker 5: I was working hard as being faithful, but it seemed 246 00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:10,640 Speaker 5: like I had less and less opportunity. My nets were empty. 247 00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:15,040 Speaker 5: I told Victoria, this is my father's vision. I know 248 00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:16,400 Speaker 5: I'm supposed to stay. 249 00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:18,600 Speaker 4: Here and honor him, and even though I know I 250 00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:20,760 Speaker 4: have more in me, I'm going to be faithful. 251 00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:22,920 Speaker 5: I'm gonna keep serving him the best that I can. 252 00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:26,079 Speaker 5: About six months later, I was walking through. 253 00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:27,600 Speaker 4: The lobby before a church service. 254 00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:31,480 Speaker 5: A man stopped me and said that his cousin had 255 00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:36,880 Speaker 5: a construction permit for the last full power commercial television. 256 00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:37,440 Speaker 4: Station in Houston. 257 00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:41,679 Speaker 5: Was extremely valuable. They wanted us to be apart. We 258 00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:44,760 Speaker 5: took that construction permit, put the station on the air, 259 00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:48,720 Speaker 5: programmed it, and later sold it for a significant profit, 260 00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:52,760 Speaker 5: and those funds were instrumental in us remodeling this place. 261 00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:57,160 Speaker 4: Here's my point. When I thought I was done. 262 00:13:56,600 --> 00:14:01,480 Speaker 5: No more opportunity, God brought me an opportunity of a lifetime. 263 00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:06,120 Speaker 5: I didn't have to go after it. That fish found me. Friends, 264 00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:09,480 Speaker 5: there are some fish, big fish that have your name 265 00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:12,520 Speaker 5: on them. It's just a matter of time before they 266 00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:13,680 Speaker 5: show up in your net. 267 00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:15,880 Speaker 4: You need to get ready. 268 00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:21,720 Speaker 5: I'm not talking about minnos, little goldfish. Something you can 269 00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:25,000 Speaker 5: fit in a small aquarium. I'm talking about some big fish, 270 00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:29,800 Speaker 5: some big breaks, some big opportunities. Peter caught so many 271 00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:32,520 Speaker 5: fish that he could not pull them all in. 272 00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:35,760 Speaker 4: Notice God is an overflow God. 273 00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:38,760 Speaker 5: What he has stored up for you is going to 274 00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:41,520 Speaker 5: be bigger than you can imagine. You know what this 275 00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:44,600 Speaker 5: facility is a fish that found our net. 276 00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:47,880 Speaker 4: It's a well, a big fish. We weren't even looking 277 00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:48,280 Speaker 4: for it. 278 00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:52,360 Speaker 5: We were trying to build a sanctuary on the other 279 00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:55,360 Speaker 5: part of town, but two deals fell through. I was 280 00:14:55,400 --> 00:15:00,120 Speaker 5: working hard, using my efforts, my connections, my skills, but 281 00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:00,920 Speaker 5: it seemed. 282 00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:01,760 Speaker 4: Like nothing was happening. 283 00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:04,200 Speaker 5: I was throwing out my nets, but they kept coming 284 00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:07,760 Speaker 5: back empty, again and again. One day an old friend 285 00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:10,520 Speaker 5: called and said this place was becoming available. 286 00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:13,800 Speaker 4: Things begin to fall into place. It was the hand 287 00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:14,320 Speaker 4: of God. 288 00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:19,000 Speaker 5: And sometimes the reason your net is empty is because 289 00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:22,800 Speaker 5: God has something better. Like Peter, you fished all night, 290 00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:24,160 Speaker 5: you didn't catch anything. 291 00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:27,880 Speaker 4: Don't get discouraged. God controls the fish. 292 00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:31,360 Speaker 5: If you'll keep honoring him, stay in faith, He'll bring 293 00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:34,800 Speaker 5: the right fish to you. And when you face a disappointment, 294 00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:38,120 Speaker 5: a door closes, like it did for us twice. We 295 00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:41,840 Speaker 5: didn't think there were any more options, have a new perspective. 296 00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:43,680 Speaker 4: Maybe that door. 297 00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:46,840 Speaker 5: Closed because God has something better come in your way. 298 00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:51,120 Speaker 5: Maybe you were hoping to catch a normal fish, an 299 00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:52,320 Speaker 5: average sized fish. 300 00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:54,600 Speaker 4: But God has a well coming. 301 00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:58,160 Speaker 5: He's got a compact center, he's got somebody better, a 302 00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:01,560 Speaker 5: bigger house, or like with me, He's going to launch 303 00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:04,840 Speaker 5: you into a new field with opportunity that you've never 304 00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:08,160 Speaker 5: dreamed of. There are some big fish that have your 305 00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:08,840 Speaker 5: name on them. 306 00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:11,880 Speaker 4: Now. Nothing may have been biting lately. 307 00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:15,480 Speaker 5: You're throwing out your nets, using the right bait, but 308 00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:18,440 Speaker 5: you keep coming up empty. Every voice will tell you 309 00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:22,800 Speaker 5: it's never gonna happen. You're wasting your time. Forget about it. No, 310 00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:26,200 Speaker 5: don't believe those lies. The fish are coming, the promotion 311 00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:28,200 Speaker 5: is coming, the spouse. 312 00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:29,560 Speaker 4: The healing. It's headed your way. 313 00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:34,080 Speaker 5: It may seem unlikely. You tried it before it gave 314 00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:37,800 Speaker 5: it your best, it didn't work out. That delay doesn't 315 00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:41,480 Speaker 5: mean that you missed your fish. That disappointment doesn't mean 316 00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:42,680 Speaker 5: it's not going to happen. 317 00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:44,280 Speaker 4: At the right time. 318 00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:47,720 Speaker 5: God's going to bring the fish into your net. Now 319 00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:51,800 Speaker 5: do your part. Keep throwing out your nets, keep believing 320 00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:55,000 Speaker 5: it's not going to happen. By your mind, your power, 321 00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:58,080 Speaker 5: your talent, your strength is going to happen by the 322 00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:01,080 Speaker 5: hand of God. Well, you may have come to the 323 00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:03,800 Speaker 5: end of your ability. You've done everything you can. 324 00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:06,200 Speaker 4: Don't worry. You're not alone. 325 00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:09,640 Speaker 5: You have the most powerful force in the universe on 326 00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:13,560 Speaker 5: your side, the God who controls the fish, the God 327 00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:15,480 Speaker 5: who spoke worlds into existence. 328 00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:18,360 Speaker 4: He knows how to get the fish into your net. 329 00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:22,000 Speaker 5: Every morning, Lord, I want to thank you that you're 330 00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:24,959 Speaker 5: causing the right fish to find me. Thank you that 331 00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:27,720 Speaker 5: those stored up blessings are going to be released in 332 00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:31,080 Speaker 5: my life. If you'll stay in faith and keep throwing 333 00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:34,480 Speaker 5: out your nets like Peter, God will do more than 334 00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:37,480 Speaker 5: you can ask her thing. One of our worship leaders 335 00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:40,439 Speaker 5: a friend of mine, Dadra. She has an incredible voice, 336 00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:41,920 Speaker 5: extremely talented. 337 00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:44,240 Speaker 4: She's been singing since she was a little girl. 338 00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:47,600 Speaker 5: But a few years back she started feeling very tired, 339 00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:51,399 Speaker 5: not having any energy. The doctor thought is because she 340 00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:54,199 Speaker 5: just had a baby, didn't think much about it. What 341 00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:58,119 Speaker 5: he didn't realize was her thyroid gland had begun to 342 00:17:58,200 --> 00:18:02,679 Speaker 5: severely malfunction. It had grown from one inch in diameter 343 00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:06,720 Speaker 5: to the size of two male fists. Looked like she 344 00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:09,080 Speaker 5: had a big grapefruit on the side of her neck. 345 00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:11,440 Speaker 4: The specialist told her she was. 346 00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:15,440 Speaker 5: In danger, not only a bit blocking her windpipe where 347 00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:18,480 Speaker 5: she couldn't breathe, but it was very close to her 348 00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:23,119 Speaker 5: vocal chords. If they operated on it, most likely she 349 00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:26,399 Speaker 5: would never be able to sing again, and if she 350 00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:30,680 Speaker 5: could somehow sing, she would never have her full range. 351 00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:33,760 Speaker 5: She went to a surgeon here in town. When he 352 00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:36,360 Speaker 5: found out she was a singer, he said, I can't 353 00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:36,920 Speaker 5: touch this. 354 00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:38,200 Speaker 4: It's too risky. 355 00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:41,840 Speaker 5: You could easily lose your voice. She asked if he 356 00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:45,000 Speaker 5: knew anyone that could help her. He said, I don't 357 00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:47,480 Speaker 5: know anybody that's going to take on this case. 358 00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:50,560 Speaker 4: It's too big a chance. She left there weeping. 359 00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:54,960 Speaker 5: So discouraged, she got home and started searching on the 360 00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:58,159 Speaker 5: internet for doctors that specialized in this. 361 00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:01,919 Speaker 4: Field all across the nation. Hundreds and hundreds of names 362 00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:02,400 Speaker 4: came up. 363 00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:06,240 Speaker 5: As she was passing them by this one name jumped 364 00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:10,400 Speaker 5: out at her. A surgeon in Nashville. He had invented 365 00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:15,400 Speaker 5: a procedure to help reverse vocal cord paralysis in some patience. 366 00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:18,840 Speaker 4: She went to see him. He was very caring, very loving. 367 00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:20,760 Speaker 4: After examining her. 368 00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:24,080 Speaker 5: He confirmed what the first surgeon said, that it was 369 00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:27,919 Speaker 5: extremely risky. She asked if he'd be willing to try it. 370 00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:31,639 Speaker 5: He said, of course I will. He flew in another 371 00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:37,320 Speaker 5: top surgeon. Together they performed this very complicated procedure, doing 372 00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:41,680 Speaker 5: their best not to harm her vocal cords. Two months 373 00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:45,440 Speaker 5: after the removing of the big goiter, she was able 374 00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:49,639 Speaker 5: to sing softly. Six months later she was able to 375 00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:53,480 Speaker 5: sing at full power, not only as high as she 376 00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:57,159 Speaker 5: could before the surgery, but she could sing even lower. 377 00:19:57,840 --> 00:20:01,040 Speaker 5: It didn't decrease her range, it increased terrain. 378 00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:02,880 Speaker 4: She found out later. 379 00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:07,679 Speaker 5: The reason this doctor had so much experience is because 380 00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:11,560 Speaker 5: he takes missions trips every year to Africa to operate 381 00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:14,920 Speaker 5: on less fortunate people. That's where he's seen all these 382 00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:18,880 Speaker 5: large goiters, gained so much experience to where now he's 383 00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:22,199 Speaker 5: a leader in his field. Out of the thousands of 384 00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:25,080 Speaker 5: names that came up on the Internet that day, it 385 00:20:25,320 --> 00:20:28,440 Speaker 5: just so happened Dandre was drawn to his name. 386 00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:32,640 Speaker 4: That wasn't a coincidence. It was the hand of God. 387 00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:38,160 Speaker 5: Bringing the right fish into her net. Friends, God knows 388 00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:41,720 Speaker 5: how to connect you to the right people. You keep 389 00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:44,359 Speaker 5: throwing out your nets and God will keep bringing the 390 00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:45,200 Speaker 5: right fish. 391 00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:49,399 Speaker 4: He has blessings stored up for you. It's interesting. 392 00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:52,280 Speaker 5: When Peter was in his boat that day, he had 393 00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:55,280 Speaker 5: just made one of the biggest mistakes of his life. 394 00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:58,600 Speaker 5: He had just denied that he knew Jesus. You would 395 00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:02,240 Speaker 5: think God would say, Toad, Peter, fish all you want. 396 00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:05,680 Speaker 5: You're not gonna catch anything. You're not gonna have my blessing. 397 00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:08,640 Speaker 5: You had your chance, but you blew it. Just because 398 00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:12,639 Speaker 5: you make a mistake doesn't mean that God cancels your destiny. 399 00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:15,240 Speaker 4: Peter blew it big time. 400 00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:17,760 Speaker 5: But just a few days later he had this big 401 00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:20,720 Speaker 5: time catch, so much that he couldn't haul it all in. 402 00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:23,040 Speaker 4: That's the mercy of God. 403 00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:26,840 Speaker 5: When you make mistakes, God doesn't get rid of your fish. 404 00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:30,920 Speaker 5: He doesn't take them away. He holds your fish. They 405 00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:34,239 Speaker 5: become a stored up blessing. When you get back on 406 00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:38,040 Speaker 5: the right path, God will release what should have been yours. 407 00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:41,480 Speaker 5: You may think, well, jod I made a lot of mistakes. 408 00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:44,080 Speaker 5: I'm sure God had some good things stored up for me. 409 00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:45,760 Speaker 4: But it's too late now. 410 00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:49,280 Speaker 5: No, you're just like Peter. God is holding your fish. 411 00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:50,760 Speaker 5: They belong to you. 412 00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:53,119 Speaker 4: Why don't you start believing again. 413 00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:57,239 Speaker 5: God knew every mistake you'd ever make. He knew the 414 00:21:57,240 --> 00:21:59,800 Speaker 5: times we'd blow it, the times that we would fail. 415 00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:03,480 Speaker 5: If that disqualified us, all of us would. 416 00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:06,520 Speaker 4: Come up empty. None of us would catch anything. When 417 00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:09,560 Speaker 4: you make mistakes, the accuser will whisper in your ear. 418 00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:12,760 Speaker 5: No use you throwing out your nets. God's not going 419 00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:15,160 Speaker 5: to bring you any fish. You're not going to catch anything. 420 00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:18,080 Speaker 5: God is saying, I dare you to believe. 421 00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:20,160 Speaker 4: I dare you to throw. 422 00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:22,280 Speaker 5: Your nets on the right side of the boat. That 423 00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:26,959 Speaker 5: means start making good decisions, start ordering God, living with 424 00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:28,560 Speaker 5: excellence and integrity. 425 00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:32,280 Speaker 4: When you do this, mistakes of the past won't keep 426 00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:33,240 Speaker 4: you from your future. 427 00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:37,240 Speaker 5: Your fish are still out there, your dreams, your spouse, 428 00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:40,120 Speaker 5: your healing, that breakthrough, it has your name on it. 429 00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:43,000 Speaker 5: Throw your nets on the right side of the boat, 430 00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:46,240 Speaker 5: and God is still going to bless you, still going 431 00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:49,160 Speaker 5: to heal you. You're still going to accomplish your dreams 432 00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:51,359 Speaker 5: and become who you were created to be. 433 00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:54,400 Speaker 4: We see this principle throughout the scripture. 434 00:22:54,760 --> 00:22:58,000 Speaker 5: As a young man, Moses knew he was supposed to 435 00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:01,080 Speaker 5: deliver the people of Israel out of slow but he 436 00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:02,960 Speaker 5: got in a hurry and tried to do it in 437 00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:07,119 Speaker 5: his own strength. He saw in Israelite being mistreated. He 438 00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:09,159 Speaker 5: went over and killed the man that was doing it. 439 00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:13,359 Speaker 4: Other people saw him. Moses had to flee for his life. 440 00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:17,399 Speaker 5: He spent years on the backside of the desert in hiding. 441 00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:20,000 Speaker 4: Looked like he missed his destiny. 442 00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:24,480 Speaker 5: But forty years later God said, Moses, I haven't forgotten 443 00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:29,040 Speaker 5: about you. That mistake didn't stop my plan for your life. 444 00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:33,440 Speaker 5: Go tell Feroh, let my people go. I'm sure Moses 445 00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:37,320 Speaker 5: thought of excuses. God, I'm too old, made too many mistakes. 446 00:23:37,680 --> 00:23:38,760 Speaker 5: I don't deserve this. 447 00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:42,200 Speaker 4: He was saying. I fished all night, didn't catch anything. 448 00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:45,000 Speaker 4: But God knew where moses fish were. 449 00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:48,960 Speaker 5: He had him stored up, and at eighty Moses delivered. 450 00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:53,080 Speaker 5: The people of Israel saw favor again and again. You 451 00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:56,520 Speaker 5: may have made mistakes, but God still has your fish. 452 00:23:57,080 --> 00:23:59,840 Speaker 4: You can still become who he created you to be. 453 00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:04,680 Speaker 5: Even with Abraham, God promised him and his wife Sarah 454 00:24:04,920 --> 00:24:07,760 Speaker 5: that they would have a baby. They were much too old, 455 00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:11,800 Speaker 5: way past the child bearing years. Year after year went 456 00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:15,320 Speaker 5: by and no baby. They got worried and tried to 457 00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:20,200 Speaker 5: help God out. Abraham slept with Sarah's maid. They had 458 00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:23,840 Speaker 5: a boy, but it wasn't the promised child. Sarah got 459 00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:26,920 Speaker 5: mad at Abraham. The maid got mad at Sarah. 460 00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:29,280 Speaker 4: All kinds of dysfunction in this house. 461 00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:33,000 Speaker 5: You would think God would say, too bad, Abraham, you 462 00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:35,760 Speaker 5: blew it having a baby with another woman. 463 00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:38,399 Speaker 4: What were you thinking? You got one messed up family. 464 00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:43,080 Speaker 5: But in spite of the dysfunction, in spite of the mistakes, 465 00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:47,080 Speaker 5: God said, Abraham, I still have your promise stored up. 466 00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:51,320 Speaker 4: I still have that son for you. Against all odds. 467 00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:52,080 Speaker 4: When he was. 468 00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:57,360 Speaker 5: Almost one hundred, Sarah had a baby, the promised child, Isaac. 469 00:24:57,960 --> 00:25:01,919 Speaker 4: What am I saying, loan? It made mistakes? 470 00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:05,360 Speaker 5: Your nets are empty. You don't think the promise will 471 00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:06,320 Speaker 5: ever come to pass. 472 00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:10,159 Speaker 4: God is still holding your fish. He didn't get rid 473 00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:11,840 Speaker 4: of them. They belonged to you. 474 00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:15,000 Speaker 5: If you'll start throwing your nets on the right side 475 00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:15,920 Speaker 5: of the boat. 476 00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:19,199 Speaker 4: You'll still see God's favor. He'll still do what he 477 00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:19,920 Speaker 4: promised you. 478 00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:26,360 Speaker 5: Jesus told the parable Matthew chapter twenty about this landowner 479 00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:30,359 Speaker 5: that hired labors to work in his vineyard. He hired 480 00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:32,560 Speaker 5: the first group of men to start at nine o'clock 481 00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:35,320 Speaker 5: in the morning. They agreed to work all day for 482 00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:39,520 Speaker 5: one denarius that was about twenty dollars. He hired another 483 00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:43,080 Speaker 5: group to start at noon, another to start at three 484 00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:46,200 Speaker 5: in the afternoon, and the final group to start at five. 485 00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:50,040 Speaker 5: Back in those days, they work from sun up to sundown, 486 00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:53,680 Speaker 5: so the last group that started at five probably only 487 00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:56,680 Speaker 5: worked an hour or two. But when it came time 488 00:25:56,720 --> 00:26:00,840 Speaker 5: to be paid, the owner he represents God God. He 489 00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:04,240 Speaker 5: paid the group that started at five twenty dollars, the 490 00:26:04,280 --> 00:26:07,440 Speaker 5: group that started at three twenty dollars, and the group 491 00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:10,119 Speaker 5: that started at noon and at nine in the morning 492 00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:13,840 Speaker 5: the same amount twenty dollars. Some of them were upset, 493 00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:17,560 Speaker 5: saying that it wasn't fair. The owner said, listen, it's 494 00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:18,199 Speaker 5: my money. 495 00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:21,359 Speaker 4: I paid you what I agreed. Don't fault me for 496 00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:24,080 Speaker 4: being generous. Here's the point. 497 00:26:24,600 --> 00:26:28,360 Speaker 5: Even though you may have started late, you made mistakes, 498 00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:32,760 Speaker 5: missed some opportunities. God doesn't say I'm cutting your pain. 499 00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:35,240 Speaker 5: I'm only going to give you half of what should 500 00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:37,879 Speaker 5: have been yours if you'll get back on the field, 501 00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:40,439 Speaker 5: start making decisions that honor God. 502 00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:42,560 Speaker 4: All those past wages. 503 00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:46,360 Speaker 5: What God has stored up, the blessings, the favor, the increase. 504 00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:49,960 Speaker 5: He still wants to release in your life. You can 505 00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:54,119 Speaker 5: still reach the fullness of your destiny. Don't let the 506 00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:58,800 Speaker 5: accusing voices cause you to live guilty, condemned, thinking you've 507 00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:02,760 Speaker 5: seen your best days. Like Peter, you may have made mistakes, 508 00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:06,159 Speaker 5: but God still has your fish. There's still a great 509 00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:10,280 Speaker 5: haul up in front of you. Like Abraham, God still 510 00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:13,680 Speaker 5: has your Isaac.
