42
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:01,320
Speaker 5: Well, God bless you. It's a joy to come into

45
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:09,640
Speaker 5: I promise you we will make you feel right at home.

46
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:12,520
Speaker 5: I like to start with something funny, and I heard

47
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:15,560
Speaker 5: about this pastor. He was new in town and he

48
00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:18,560
Speaker 5: was going door to door inviting people to his church.

49
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:21,840
Speaker 5: He knocked on this one door he could tell someone

50
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 5: was home, but no one would answer. So he took

51
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:27,240
Speaker 5: his business card out and he wrote on the back

52
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:32,760
Speaker 5: the scripture reference Revelation three twenty. The next Sunday, after service,

53
00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:36,200
Speaker 5: someone handed him the same card. Under what he had

54
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:40,280
Speaker 5: written was the scripture reference Genesis three ten. Here's what

55
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:44,160
Speaker 5: they say, Revelation three twenty. The pastor's words, behold, I

56
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:47,040
Speaker 5: stand at the door and knock. If anyone answers, I

57
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:51,240
Speaker 5: will come in. The reply was Genesis three ten. It said,

58
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:54,520
Speaker 5: I heard your voice, and I was afraid because I

59
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:55,160
Speaker 5: was naked.

60
00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:59,640
Speaker 4: Say it like you mean it. This is my Bible.

61
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:02,360
Speaker 4: I am what it says. I am. I have what

62
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:04,760
Speaker 4: it says I have. I can do what it says

63
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:05,280
Speaker 4: I can do.

64
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:08,600
Speaker 5: Today I will be taught the word of God. I

65
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:12,920
Speaker 5: boldly confess. My mind is alert, my heart is receptive.

66
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:16,960
Speaker 5: I will never be the same. In Jesus' name, God

67
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:20,480
Speaker 5: bless you. I want to talk to you today about

68
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:24,959
Speaker 5: you promised. When we face difficulties, one of the best

69
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:28,080
Speaker 5: things we can do is find a promise in the

70
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:33,040
Speaker 5: scripture and remind God what he said about us. God,

71
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:37,400
Speaker 5: you promised I would lend and not borrow. You promised

72
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:41,360
Speaker 5: my children will be mighty in the land. You promised

73
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:46,120
Speaker 5: with long life you would satisfy me. Isaiah said, put

74
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 5: God in remembrance of his promises. It doesn't say put

75
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:53,279
Speaker 5: God in remembrance of our problems.

76
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 4: It's easy to complain God.

77
00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:58,880
Speaker 5: These people at work aren't treating me right. God, my

78
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:02,080
Speaker 5: back's been hurting. God, these kids get on my nerves.

79
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:06,040
Speaker 5: It's okay to be honest with God, but don't just

80
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 5: pray the problems.

81
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:08,720
Speaker 4: Pray the promises.

82
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:13,000
Speaker 5: If you're only telling God what's wrong, it's limiting what

83
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:13,720
Speaker 5: he can do.

84
00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:16,880
Speaker 4: Follow up the problem with a promise.

85
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:20,800
Speaker 5: God, my back has been hurting, but you promised you

86
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:23,800
Speaker 5: would restore health unto me, So thank you that healing

87
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:24,360
Speaker 5: is coming.

88
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:25,280
Speaker 4: God.

89
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:28,239
Speaker 5: These people at work are leaving me out, not giving

90
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:31,880
Speaker 5: me credit, but you promised you would be my vindicator.

91
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:35,240
Speaker 5: You promised the trap the enemy set for me, they

92
00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 5: will fall in themselves. So I'm going to stay in

93
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:41,599
Speaker 5: peace and let you fight my battles or God, my

94
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:46,080
Speaker 5: dream seems impossible. I don't have the connections, the resources,

95
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:47,160
Speaker 5: the experience.

96
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:50,279
Speaker 4: If you stop there you'll get stuck.

97
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:54,560
Speaker 5: Follow it up with a promise. But God, you promised

98
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:58,640
Speaker 5: your favor surrounds me like a shield. You promise whatever

99
00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 5: I touch would prosper and succeed. You promised you would

100
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:04,080
Speaker 5: open doors that no man can shut.

101
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:05,120
Speaker 4: See.

102
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:08,599
Speaker 5: God is not obligated to bring to past what we say,

103
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:11,200
Speaker 5: but he is obligated.

104
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:12,320
Speaker 4: To bring to past what he says.

105
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:16,599
Speaker 5: When he hears his promises coming out of your mouth,

106
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:21,039
Speaker 5: angels go to work, favor is released, miracles are set

107
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:25,279
Speaker 5: into motion. When it says, put God in remembrance of

108
00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:29,680
Speaker 5: his promises. It's not because God has forgotten what he said.

109
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:33,039
Speaker 4: It's not for his sake. It's for our sake.

110
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:38,040
Speaker 5: God knows when you start declaring his promises. When you

111
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:42,159
Speaker 5: start speaking what he's said about you, not only will

112
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:45,960
Speaker 5: faith rise in your heart, but it will change your perspective.

113
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:49,080
Speaker 5: You won't have a victim mentality. You will have a

114
00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:53,279
Speaker 5: victoria mentality. You'll know this sickness is no match for

115
00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:57,039
Speaker 5: my God. This trouble at work cannot stop My purpose.

116
00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:00,440
Speaker 5: You'll know God being for you is more than the

117
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:03,839
Speaker 5: world being against you. But most of us we have

118
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:07,800
Speaker 5: the first part down. We're good at telling God our problems,

119
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:11,160
Speaker 5: but you have to follow it up with a you promised.

120
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:14,640
Speaker 5: The more you talk about the promises, the less you'll

121
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:18,160
Speaker 5: talk about your problems. Now, I start off every day

122
00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:23,120
Speaker 5: simply thanking God for what he's already promised over my life.

123
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:26,080
Speaker 4: Father, thank you that you promised.

124
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:30,679
Speaker 5: No good thing? Will you withhold? Because I walk up rightly. Father,

125
00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:34,200
Speaker 5: you promised the path of the righteous. Our path gets

126
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:38,520
Speaker 5: brighter and brighter. If you're spending more time talking about

127
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:42,239
Speaker 5: your problems than you are the promises, then that's.

128
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:42,880
Speaker 4: Out of balance.

129
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:48,720
Speaker 5: Maybe you're not seeing things turn around. You're not seeing healing, promotion,

130
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:54,560
Speaker 5: vindication because you're reminding God of the wrong things. You're

131
00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:57,680
Speaker 5: telling him what didn't work out, how bad the medical

132
00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:01,599
Speaker 5: report is, who left you? Try different approach, Take a

133
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:05,760
Speaker 5: break from telling God everything that's wrong. And there's nothing

134
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:08,919
Speaker 5: wrong with asking. But God already knows your needs. He

135
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:12,040
Speaker 5: knows our thoughts before we think them. At some point

136
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:15,240
Speaker 5: you have to switch over to thanking God for what

137
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:19,720
Speaker 5: he's already promised. My sister Lisa and her husband Kevin,

138
00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:22,960
Speaker 5: tried for years to have a baby. Lisa went through

139
00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:26,680
Speaker 5: all the fertility treatments, had a couple of surgeries, did

140
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:30,600
Speaker 5: everything she could. Finally, the doctor said there was nothing

141
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:33,520
Speaker 5: more they could do. They wouldn't be able to have children.

142
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:37,400
Speaker 5: Lisa could have been depressed and told God how bad

143
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:41,480
Speaker 5: it was. Instead, she made a list of all the

144
00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:45,920
Speaker 5: promises she could find concerning children. She typed them out,

145
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:49,640
Speaker 5: put them on her bathroom mirror. It says in Psalms,

146
00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:53,440
Speaker 5: God will make the baron woman a happy mother of children.

147
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:58,440
Speaker 5: Isaiah said, your children will be like olive shoots around

148
00:07:58,480 --> 00:07:59,080
Speaker 5: your table.

149
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:04,040
Speaker 4: Roonomy said the fruit of your womb is blessed. All

150
00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:05,240
Speaker 4: through the day.

151
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:09,400
Speaker 5: Instead of complaining, God is not fair, why can't I

152
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:12,600
Speaker 5: have children, Lisa didn't pray the problem.

153
00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:14,120
Speaker 4: She prayed the promises.

154
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:17,720
Speaker 5: Lord, you promised you would make me the happy mother

155
00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:21,960
Speaker 5: of children. It's very powerful when you take it off

156
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:24,440
Speaker 5: of what you want and put it back on what

157
00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:28,320
Speaker 5: God said. God, you promised the fruit of my womb

158
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:32,720
Speaker 5: is blessed. You promised children are a heritage from the Lord.

159
00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:38,359
Speaker 5: The scripture says God watches over his word to perform it.

160
00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:42,360
Speaker 5: It doesn't say God watches over our complaints. He watches

161
00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:47,240
Speaker 5: over our begging. Please, God, you got to turn this around. Yes, God,

162
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:51,360
Speaker 5: is concerned. He sees the wrongs, but what moves him

163
00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:56,199
Speaker 5: to act is when he hears his promises. Seven years later,

164
00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:58,840
Speaker 5: Lisa received a phone call from.

165
00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:01,400
Speaker 4: A friend that a home for girls.

166
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:05,080
Speaker 5: She said, Lisa, I don't really know why I'm calling you,

167
00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:07,600
Speaker 5: but we have this teenage.

168
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:10,560
Speaker 4: Girl that's about to give birth to twin girls.

169
00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:15,199
Speaker 5: We were wondering if you would be interested in adopting them. Well,

170
00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:19,200
Speaker 5: Lisa's husband, Kevin, is a twin It's always been his

171
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:22,760
Speaker 5: dream that he would have twins. They adopted those girls

172
00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:27,920
Speaker 5: at birth, then adopted another son. Today, just like God promised,

173
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:29,640
Speaker 5: Lisa is the happy.

174
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:33,920
Speaker 4: Mother of children. Lisa says, God is so good.

175
00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:37,280
Speaker 5: I have three children and I never had to get pregnant.

176
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:42,880
Speaker 5: When you declare the promises, children will find you good,

177
00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:47,040
Speaker 5: breaks will track you down. Whatever you're believing for. Do

178
00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:48,560
Speaker 5: like Lisa and.

179
00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:50,320
Speaker 4: Make a list of the promises.

180
00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:54,400
Speaker 5: Put it on your phone, your computer, your bathroom mirror

181
00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:58,600
Speaker 5: all through the day, remind God what he promised. If

182
00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:02,360
Speaker 5: you're fighting an illness, it's easy to talk about the sickness,

183
00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:06,839
Speaker 5: what the doctor said, how it doesn't look good. Sometimes

184
00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:09,679
Speaker 5: we know more about the problem than we do.

185
00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:10,440
Speaker 4: The promises.

186
00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:15,360
Speaker 5: We spend hours researching it on the internet, learning everything

187
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:19,120
Speaker 5: that could possibly go wrong. Why don't you take fifteen

188
00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:24,040
Speaker 5: minutes and google scriptures concerning about what you're facing. God,

189
00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:27,600
Speaker 5: you promised I would live and not die and declare

190
00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:29,720
Speaker 5: the works of the Lord you promised.

191
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:32,720
Speaker 4: You are Jehovah Raphah, the Lord, my healer.

192
00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:35,920
Speaker 5: You promised by the stripes of your son, Jesus, I

193
00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:39,880
Speaker 5: am healed. If you're struggling with an addiction, you've had

194
00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:40,840
Speaker 5: it a long time.

195
00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:43,040
Speaker 4: You don't think it'll ever change now.

196
00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:47,280
Speaker 5: God, you promised that you have destroyed every yoke, You

197
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:51,640
Speaker 5: have broken every bondage you promised the enemy I see today,

198
00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:54,720
Speaker 5: I will see no more. You promised whom the sun

199
00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:57,960
Speaker 5: sets free is free. Indeed, so Lord, thank you that

200
00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:02,240
Speaker 5: I am free. That's not just being positive, that's reminding

201
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:03,440
Speaker 5: God what he said.

202
00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:05,400
Speaker 4: I talked to a lady.

203
00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:08,280
Speaker 5: She was at odds with her teenage daughter, and this

204
00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:11,079
Speaker 5: lady would come down to the for prayer very often.

205
00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:15,680
Speaker 5: She was always upset, discouraged. I did my best to

206
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:18,360
Speaker 5: cheer up and try to convince her to keep believing.

207
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:21,960
Speaker 4: But more than coming for prayer, it seemed like.

208
00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:24,400
Speaker 5: She just wanted to tell me how bad it was,

209
00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:28,680
Speaker 5: how her daughter was being disrespectful. I told her what

210
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:33,000
Speaker 5: I'm telling you, Constantly talking about the problem is not

211
00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:36,760
Speaker 5: doing anything productive. You need to find a promise and

212
00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:40,600
Speaker 5: remind God what he said about you. I gave her

213
00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:44,920
Speaker 5: the promise from Proverbs thirty one. It says children will

214
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:49,199
Speaker 5: rise up and call their mother blessed. Well, at that time,

215
00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:52,679
Speaker 5: her daughter was calling her every name except blessed.

216
00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:55,479
Speaker 4: But this mother started.

217
00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:58,520
Speaker 5: Going through the day, Father, you promised that my children

218
00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:03,160
Speaker 5: will rise up and call me blessed. She found other promises.

219
00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:07,400
Speaker 5: Children are a gift from the Lord to be enjoyed. Father,

220
00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:10,880
Speaker 5: thank you, you promised that I would enjoy my children,

221
00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:12,000
Speaker 5: that I would have.

222
00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:12,960
Speaker 4: Fun with my daughter.

223
00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:17,240
Speaker 5: She did this month after month. Didn't see any sign

224
00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:21,000
Speaker 5: of things changing. That's what faith is all about. If

225
00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:21,800
Speaker 5: you can see.

226
00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:23,120
Speaker 4: It, it doesn't take faith.

227
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:28,000
Speaker 5: Two years later, this daughter had a complete turnaround. It

228
00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:32,360
Speaker 5: was like she was a different person, kind, loving, respectful.

229
00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:35,840
Speaker 5: Today she and her mother are the best of friends.

230
00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:37,439
Speaker 4: They do everything together.

231
00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:41,640
Speaker 5: Now, when this mother says God, you promised my children

232
00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:44,920
Speaker 5: will rise up and call me blessed, she's not saying

233
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:45,680
Speaker 5: it by faith.

234
00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:46,319
Speaker 4: Anymore.

235
00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:49,760
Speaker 5: It's become a reality. God brought the promise to pass.

236
00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:53,800
Speaker 4: The scripture says God is not a man.

237
00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:57,680
Speaker 5: That he should lie. Has he ever spoken and failed

238
00:12:57,679 --> 00:13:01,680
Speaker 5: to act? Has he ever promised and not carried it through?

239
00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:05,720
Speaker 5: God has never failed in the past. The good news

240
00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:07,760
Speaker 5: is he's not going to start with you.

241
00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:11,120
Speaker 4: Stay in faith and stay open.

242
00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:15,000
Speaker 5: It may not happen your way or on your timetable,

243
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:17,840
Speaker 5: but God knows what he's doing. He is faithful to

244
00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:22,000
Speaker 5: his word. I talked to a well known actor. He's

245
00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:25,359
Speaker 5: an elderly gentleman, and he was very down on himself.

246
00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:29,120
Speaker 5: He said, joel Ama has been I never get any

247
00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:33,040
Speaker 5: good roles anymore. I've peeked and it's all downhill from here.

248
00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:35,640
Speaker 4: When you speak defeat.

249
00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:41,240
Speaker 5: Over your life like that, you are inviting bad breaks, disappointments, lack.

250
00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:45,240
Speaker 5: Zip it up and find that you promised God. You

251
00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:49,240
Speaker 5: promised my latter days will be better than my former days.

252
00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:51,559
Speaker 4: You promised your favor.

253
00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:54,800
Speaker 5: Is not for a season, but for a lifetime. You

254
00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:58,760
Speaker 5: promised you would bring me to a flourishing finish. We

255
00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:03,920
Speaker 5: need you not just alive, but passionate, doing great things

256
00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:05,720
Speaker 5: your whole life.

257
00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:08,040
Speaker 4: You may have had some bad breaks.

258
00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:11,280
Speaker 5: Maybe you went through a loss or somebody walked out

259
00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:14,440
Speaker 5: of a relationship. You could go around with the chip

260
00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:17,840
Speaker 5: on your shoulder him self. Pity God, why did this happen?

261
00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:22,120
Speaker 4: That's going to keep you defeated. Turn it around, Father,

262
00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:25,560
Speaker 4: you promised you would give me beauty for these ashes.

263
00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:29,880
Speaker 5: You promised weeping endures for a night, but joy comes

264
00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:33,760
Speaker 5: in the morning. You promised in Isaiah that because I

265
00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:36,280
Speaker 5: got a double dose of trouble, I would get a

266
00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:37,520
Speaker 5: double dose of favor.

267
00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:38,640
Speaker 4: So Lord, thank you.

268
00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:41,240
Speaker 5: That I'm not just coming out, but I'm coming out better.

269
00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:45,840
Speaker 5: When you prayed the promises, God will make up for

270
00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:49,600
Speaker 5: what was unfair. Like Joseph, he'll take you from the

271
00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:50,920
Speaker 5: pit to the palace.

272
00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:52,160
Speaker 4: Like Ruth.

273
00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:54,640
Speaker 5: He'll take you from working in a field to own

274
00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:55,240
Speaker 5: in the field.

275
00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:56,560
Speaker 4: Like David.

276
00:14:56,600 --> 00:15:01,480
Speaker 5: He'll take you from the background to the foreground, being overlooked.

277
00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:02,960
Speaker 4: To being in charge.

278
00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:06,160
Speaker 5: Now, pay attention to what's coming out of your mouth.

279
00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:10,480
Speaker 5: Are you talking more about the problems or about the promises.

280
00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:15,400
Speaker 5: What you're bringing to God's remembrance will determine whether or

281
00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:19,400
Speaker 5: not you reach your destiny. In Second Kings, Chapter seven,

282
00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:22,920
Speaker 5: the Israelites were surrounded by the Syrian army.

283
00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:24,960
Speaker 4: They had cut off their food.

284
00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:28,400
Speaker 5: Supply, clogged up the streams that flowed into the city.

285
00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:31,320
Speaker 5: They were waiting for them to starve, and then they

286
00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:31,920
Speaker 5: would go in.

287
00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:33,400
Speaker 4: And take the city.

288
00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:37,000
Speaker 5: The prophet Elishah showed up and said to the Israelites,

289
00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:40,960
Speaker 5: by this time tomorrow there will be so much food

290
00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:43,840
Speaker 5: you'll be able to buy a loaf of bread for

291
00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:50,400
Speaker 5: one penny. The officer assisting the king said, Elisha, that's impossible.

292
00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:54,880
Speaker 5: We're surrounded by a huge army. We're outnumbered, we have

293
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:59,840
Speaker 5: no food, we're starving. There's no way, Elisha said, it

294
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:05,040
Speaker 5: will happen. God has promised it, but because you doubted, you.

295
00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:05,720
Speaker 4: Won't see it.

296
00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:09,680
Speaker 5: There were four leopers sitting outside the city gates.

297
00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:13,600
Speaker 4: They thought to themselves, we have nothing to lose. We're

298
00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:14,720
Speaker 4: gonna die anyway.

299
00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:18,080
Speaker 5: Let's go down to the enemy's camp and see what

300
00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:22,880
Speaker 5: they're doing. As they were walking, God multiplied the sound

301
00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:24,240
Speaker 5: of their footsteps.

302
00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:27,480
Speaker 4: It sounded like a huge army was approaching.

303
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:31,640
Speaker 5: The Syrians panicked and took off, running for their lives.

304
00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:32,720
Speaker 4: They left their.

305
00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:37,520
Speaker 5: Food, their supplies, their equipment. The leopers went back and

306
00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:42,080
Speaker 5: told the Israelites. The officer that didn't believe was in

307
00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:45,640
Speaker 5: charge of the city gates. When he opened them to

308
00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:49,200
Speaker 5: let the people out, they were so excited he got

309
00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:52,960
Speaker 5: knocked down and was trampled to death. He never saw

310
00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:56,320
Speaker 5: the promise come to pass. Now, don't make the mistake

311
00:16:56,520 --> 00:16:59,240
Speaker 5: like that man and talk yourself.

312
00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:00,720
Speaker 4: Out of what God has promised.

313
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:04,840
Speaker 5: His attitude should have been, God, you said, by tomorrow,

314
00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:07,719
Speaker 5: we'll have bread for only a penny a loaf. I

315
00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:11,199
Speaker 5: don't see how it can happen. It seems impossible, no

316
00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:14,240
Speaker 5: way in the natural. But God, I know you're a

317
00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:17,440
Speaker 5: supernatural God. I know you can make a way. Well,

318
00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:20,879
Speaker 5: I don't see a way. God doesn't ask us to

319
00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:25,320
Speaker 5: figure things out. All he asks is we believe. When

320
00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:28,119
Speaker 5: He puts a promise in your heart, don't think of

321
00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:30,800
Speaker 5: all the reasons why it's not going to work out.

322
00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:34,359
Speaker 5: Sometimes you have to turn your mind off.

323
00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:37,480
Speaker 4: Faith is not always going to make sense.

324
00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:41,240
Speaker 5: What God says is not always going to be logical.

325
00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:45,560
Speaker 5: If you reason it out, check with the experts, read

326
00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:50,000
Speaker 5: all the reports, you will miss God's best. We think natural.

327
00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:54,680
Speaker 5: God thinks supernatural. He's not limited by what limits us.

328
00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:59,760
Speaker 5: God cauts fire to not harm the three Hebrew teenagers

329
00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:03,879
Speaker 5: the furnace. That doesn't make sense, but he's God. He

330
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:07,000
Speaker 5: called Sarah to have a baby at eighty years old.

331
00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:09,679
Speaker 4: He parted the sea for the Israelites.

332
00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:12,840
Speaker 5: They went through on dry ground. God healed my mother

333
00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:16,680
Speaker 5: of terminal cancer. God gave us the Compact Center when

334
00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:20,480
Speaker 5: all the odds were against us. Now, don't let your

335
00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:24,520
Speaker 5: natural logic talk you out of what a supernatural god

336
00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:28,520
Speaker 5: can do. The scripture tells us we need to have

337
00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:32,960
Speaker 5: child like faith. Children don't try to figure things out.

338
00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:34,040
Speaker 4: When you tell your.

339
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:37,200
Speaker 5: Child you're gonna buy them something or take them someplace,

340
00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:41,320
Speaker 5: they don't worry. They don't wonder if you have the means.

341
00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:43,919
Speaker 5: They don't lose sleep over whether it's gonna happen.

342
00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:45,000
Speaker 4: They trust you.

343
00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:49,399
Speaker 5: When our daughter Alexandra was about ten years old, she

344
00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:52,520
Speaker 5: loved to go to Disneyland, and we hadn't been in

345
00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:55,800
Speaker 5: several years. And one night I was putting her in bed,

346
00:18:56,359 --> 00:18:59,920
Speaker 5: she said, Daddy, can we go to Disneyland again? Almost

347
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:03,280
Speaker 5: in passing. I said sure we can. She said, you promise.

348
00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:06,880
Speaker 5: I said yes, I promise. She smiled a retal big.

349
00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:09,760
Speaker 5: I kissed her and put her in bed. The next morning,

350
00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:13,800
Speaker 5: early before I woke up, she came running in our room.

351
00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:17,639
Speaker 5: Didn't say good morning, Dad, didn't say how are you,

352
00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:18,960
Speaker 5: didn't say I loved you?

353
00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:22,080
Speaker 4: She said, Daddy, when are we going to Disneyland?

354
00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:27,520
Speaker 5: It was never if, it was always when she had

355
00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:31,000
Speaker 5: so much confidence in me. She knew I wouldn't break

356
00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:34,399
Speaker 5: my promise. She knew it was only a matter of time.

357
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:37,840
Speaker 5: Never once did she say, Dad, can I check the

358
00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:40,000
Speaker 5: finances to see if we can afford it?

359
00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:40,960
Speaker 4: Dad?

360
00:19:40,960 --> 00:19:43,359
Speaker 5: Can I check your schedule to see if you had time?

361
00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:46,320
Speaker 5: Or what if we can't get the flights? What if

362
00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:48,680
Speaker 5: the hotels are book what if it doesn't work out.

363
00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:52,439
Speaker 4: She didn't worry about any of the details.

364
00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:56,760
Speaker 5: She didn't concern herself about how it was going to happen.

365
00:19:57,040 --> 00:20:00,119
Speaker 5: Why she knew her father would take care of that.

366
00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:03,280
Speaker 5: She knew I wouldn't have promised it if I couldn't

367
00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:07,640
Speaker 5: do it. Now, the truth is, I'm human. I could

368
00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:10,920
Speaker 5: let her down. I could break the promise, not keep

369
00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:14,560
Speaker 5: my word. Yet she has this incredible trust in me.

370
00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:18,399
Speaker 5: What if we had that same kind of trust in

371
00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:21,760
Speaker 5: our heavenly father, knowing that he cannot go back on

372
00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:27,840
Speaker 5: his word, knowing that he cannot fail. God, you promised,

373
00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:30,480
Speaker 5: as for me and my house, we will serve the

374
00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:34,199
Speaker 5: Lord you promised. I will lend and not borrow. You

375
00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:37,879
Speaker 5: promised I will recover. Now I'm not going to worry

376
00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:40,600
Speaker 5: about how it's going to happen. I'm not going to

377
00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:44,239
Speaker 5: live stressed because I don't see anything changing, wondering if

378
00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:45,200
Speaker 5: it's going to work out.

379
00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:47,080
Speaker 4: God, I trust you.

380
00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:50,239
Speaker 5: I believe you are true to your word and in

381
00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:53,720
Speaker 5: your perfect timing, in your own way, you will bring

382
00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:58,600
Speaker 5: this promise to pass. That's childlike faith. You're not trying

383
00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:02,600
Speaker 5: to figure it out, not wondering if God has the means,

384
00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:05,640
Speaker 5: does he know the right people, What if the obstacle's

385
00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:06,200
Speaker 5: too big.

386
00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:09,320
Speaker 4: He's God, He created the universe.

387
00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:11,879
Speaker 5: He wouldn't have promised it if he wasn't going to

388
00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:15,639
Speaker 5: bring it to past. We see how faithful God is

389
00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:16,720
Speaker 5: to his promises.

390
00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:17,520
Speaker 4: With David.

391
00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:21,680
Speaker 5: God promised David that one of his relatives would always

392
00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:25,359
Speaker 5: be on the throne of Israel. Twenty three years after

393
00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:29,480
Speaker 5: David died, his son Solomon was on the throne but

394
00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:33,560
Speaker 5: not making good choices. He had married foreign wives he

395
00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:38,280
Speaker 5: wasn't supposed to. Now he started worshiping their idols. God

396
00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:42,560
Speaker 5: says Solomon. I would normally take this kingdom away from you,

397
00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:45,719
Speaker 5: for you have done wrong in my sight, but I

398
00:21:45,800 --> 00:21:50,440
Speaker 5: will not do it for your father David's sake. God

399
00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:54,040
Speaker 5: was saying, Solomon, you don't deserve this mercy. You've gotten

400
00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:54,679
Speaker 5: off course.

401
00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:56,040
Speaker 4: But I made a.

402
00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:59,240
Speaker 5: Promise to your father, and I am a God that

403
00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:01,520
Speaker 5: keeps my promises, even to.

404
00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:02,200
Speaker 4: A dead man.

405
00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:06,520
Speaker 5: Three hundred and five years later, another one of David's

406
00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:10,439
Speaker 5: relatives was on the throne, King Hezekiah. He was in

407
00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:14,360
Speaker 5: great danger. An army had surrounded Jerusalem.

408
00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:17,720
Speaker 4: There was no way out. Looked like the people were doomed.

409
00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:22,400
Speaker 5: At the last moment, God sent an angel that wiped

410
00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:26,160
Speaker 5: out one hundred and eighty five thousand of the enemy troops.

411
00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:30,600
Speaker 5: Hezekiah and all the people were spared. I can imagine

412
00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:32,040
Speaker 5: Hezekiah thinking.

413
00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:35,440
Speaker 4: God, what did we do to deserve this kind of favor?

414
00:22:36,119 --> 00:22:37,400
Speaker 4: God says Hezekiah.

415
00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:40,200
Speaker 5: There was a man that lived three hundred and five

416
00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:44,159
Speaker 5: years ago. He's dead, he's gone, but I made a

417
00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:47,760
Speaker 5: promise to him that one of his descendants would always

418
00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:50,280
Speaker 5: be on the throne. And I am the God that

419
00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:55,119
Speaker 5: keeps my promises. Even three hundred and five years later. Now,

420
00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:59,080
Speaker 5: maybe you're standing on a promise that hasn't come to

421
00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:03,200
Speaker 5: pass yet. If God would go to such great links

422
00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:06,320
Speaker 5: to keep his promise to a man that was dead,

423
00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:10,000
Speaker 5: how much more is God going to keep his promises

424
00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:10,280
Speaker 5: to you.

425
00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:13,400
Speaker 4: Stay in faith and keep.

426
00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:17,440
Speaker 5: Reminding God what he promised, keep bringing it to his remembrance.

427
00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:20,720
Speaker 5: Like David, you're going to see the faithfulness of God.

428
00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:24,119
Speaker 5: You're going to see those promises come to pass. In

429
00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:28,359
Speaker 5: Genesis thirty two, Jacob was about to meet his brother Esau.

430
00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:34,040
Speaker 5: After many years of being estranged. Jacob cheated Esau. He

431
00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:38,199
Speaker 5: stole his birthright, tricked their father into giving him the

432
00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:42,760
Speaker 5: blessing that belonged to Esau. Esau was so angry that

433
00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:46,760
Speaker 5: Jacob had to flee to another country for his life.

434
00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:49,879
Speaker 5: He lived with his uncle Laban, working for him for

435
00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:54,399
Speaker 5: nearly twenty years. In spite of the mistakes, God blessed

436
00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:58,360
Speaker 5: Jacob in a great way. He'd become very wealthy. Now

437
00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:01,120
Speaker 5: he had his own family, his own flocks and herbs.

438
00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:05,320
Speaker 5: He wanted to return and move back home, he said

439
00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:07,320
Speaker 5: word Esau said.

440
00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:08,480
Speaker 4: That he would meet him.

441
00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:12,800
Speaker 5: You can imagine how nervous Jacob was, He's about to

442
00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:16,399
Speaker 5: see this brother whom he's wronged and taken advantage of.

443
00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:20,240
Speaker 5: He didn't know if Esau was still angry trying to

444
00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:25,960
Speaker 5: get revenge was a huge chance. Jacob said in verse eleven, God,

445
00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:30,920
Speaker 5: please rescue me from my brother Esau. I'm afraid he's

446
00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:34,080
Speaker 5: trying to kill me and all of my wives and children.

447
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:37,880
Speaker 5: He could have stopped there and just prayed the problem,

448
00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:40,600
Speaker 5: but Jacob understood this principle.

449
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:41,720
Speaker 4: He went on to.

450
00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:46,280
Speaker 5: Say, but God, you promised to treat me kindly and.

451
00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:48,120
Speaker 4: To multiply my descendants.

452
00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:53,520
Speaker 5: After all the bad choices, all the greed manipulation, what

453
00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:56,920
Speaker 5: did he do? He went back to a promise God

454
00:24:56,960 --> 00:24:59,840
Speaker 5: made to him as a young man and said, God,

455
00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:02,240
Speaker 5: you promised you would be good to me.

456
00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:04,000
Speaker 4: He met Esau.

457
00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:08,000
Speaker 5: Esau not only forgave him, but was very kind to

458
00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:08,960
Speaker 5: him and.

459
00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:10,160
Speaker 4: Welcomed him back home.

460
00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:14,840
Speaker 5: What if we had this same boldness like Jacob, in

461
00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:18,240
Speaker 5: spite of our mistakes, in spite of the times we fell,

462
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:22,520
Speaker 5: instead of living down on ourselves, giving up on our dreams,

463
00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:26,600
Speaker 5: we would say, God, you promised to be good to me.

464
00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:30,919
Speaker 5: You promised to restore what was stolen. You promised to

465
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:35,600
Speaker 5: forgive me and not remember my mistakes. Put God in

466
00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:39,879
Speaker 5: remembrance of what he promised. Not what you feel, not

467
00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:43,120
Speaker 5: what you deserve, not what a relative said, but what

468
00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:49,000
Speaker 5: God said. Saul eighty six says, God is full of kindness,

469
00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:50,600
Speaker 5: great in mercy.

470
00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:53,520
Speaker 4: The Lord is good to awe.

471
00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:56,120
Speaker 5: God made the same promise to you that he made

472
00:25:56,160 --> 00:25:59,320
Speaker 5: to Jacob. God, you promised to be kind to me.

473
00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:03,640
Speaker 5: You promised me a future filled with purpose and fulfillment.

474
00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:08,000
Speaker 5: God is not holding your mistakes against you. Don't go

475
00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:12,639
Speaker 5: through life holding them against yourself. When Moses was leading

476
00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:16,720
Speaker 5: the Israelites through the desert some two million people, God

477
00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:19,800
Speaker 5: told him to go up on Mount Sinai. That's where

478
00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:21,600
Speaker 5: he received the Ten Commandments.

479
00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:24,080
Speaker 4: He was up there for forty days.

480
00:26:24,600 --> 00:26:29,320
Speaker 5: He left his brother Aaron in charge. The people got restless.

481
00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:31,600
Speaker 4: Said Erin. We don't know if Moses is ever going

482
00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:32,240
Speaker 4: to come back.

483
00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:36,240
Speaker 5: Let's make some gods out of gold that we can worship.

484
00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:40,720
Speaker 5: Aaron had them melt down their jewelry, their ear rings.

485
00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:43,200
Speaker 4: They made a calf out of gold.

486
00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:48,200
Speaker 5: They started partying, drinking all kinds of debakery.

487
00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:50,600
Speaker 4: God was so angry he.

488
00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:54,520
Speaker 5: Was about to wipe them all out and only spare Moses.

489
00:26:55,240 --> 00:27:00,080
Speaker 5: The scripture says Moses pleaded with the Lord and said, God,

490
00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:04,239
Speaker 5: remember what you promised, that our descendants would be as

491
00:27:04,359 --> 00:27:07,320
Speaker 5: numerous as the stars in the heavens, and that they

492
00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:11,919
Speaker 5: would possess this land forever. The next verse says God

493
00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:16,000
Speaker 5: withdrew his threat and did not bring the disaster that

494
00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:20,440
Speaker 5: he planned. That's how powerful it is when you remind

495
00:27:20,520 --> 00:27:24,240
Speaker 5: God what he promised. If Moses had not said, God,

496
00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:27,919
Speaker 5: you promised, God would have wiped them all out. Now

497
00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:31,400
Speaker 5: I wonder if there are blessings we're not seeing healing

498
00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:37,080
Speaker 5: promotion increase because we're not reminding God of his promises.

499
00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:40,360
Speaker 5: We're praying for God to do it. We're asking him

500
00:27:40,359 --> 00:27:43,159
Speaker 5: to turn it around. And that's good. But when you

501
00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:48,359
Speaker 5: say God, you promised, something powerful happens. The creator of

502
00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:52,320
Speaker 5: the universe goes to work. Chains are broken, forces of

503
00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:56,080
Speaker 5: darkness are pushed back. Nothing can stand against our God.

504
00:27:56,960 --> 00:28:00,199
Speaker 5: He said in Genesis twenty eighth, I will be with

505
00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:05,000
Speaker 5: you constantly until I have finished giving you everything that

506
00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:10,240
Speaker 5: I promise. God is saying to you today, everything I promised.

507
00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:11,000
Speaker 4: You is on the way.

508

Speaker 4: pray with me?

Speaker 5: Just say, Lord, Jesus, I repent of my sins, Come

Speaker 5: into my heart.
