It's a joy to 43 00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:53,960 Speaker 4: come into your homes and if you're ever in our area, 44 00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:55,880 Speaker 4: please stop by and be a part of one of 45 00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:59,000 Speaker 4: our services. I promise you we'll make you feel right 46 00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:01,720 Speaker 4: at home. I like to start with something funny, and 47 00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:04,520 Speaker 4: I heard about this man. He was driving through an 48 00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:08,240 Speaker 4: intersection that was monitored by cameras. If you ran the 49 00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:10,880 Speaker 4: light or broke the law in any way, would take 50 00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:13,200 Speaker 4: your picture and you'd receive a ticket in the mail. 51 00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:16,200 Speaker 4: So he made sure to go through it extra slowly, 52 00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:19,440 Speaker 4: not break any laws. But he noticed the camera flash 53 00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:22,760 Speaker 4: took his picture. He thought, that's not right. He turned 54 00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:26,320 Speaker 4: around and drove through it again, even more slowly. Once 55 00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:29,280 Speaker 4: again it took his picture. He thought, this thing's messed up. 56 00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:32,360 Speaker 4: They cannot give me a ticket. Out of spite, he 57 00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:35,760 Speaker 4: drove through it three more times, each time waving at 58 00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:39,240 Speaker 4: the camera with a big smile. A week later, he 59 00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:41,880 Speaker 4: received five tickets in the mail for not wearing his 60 00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:46,800 Speaker 4: seat belt. Say it like you mean it. This is 61 00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:49,720 Speaker 4: my Bible. I am what it says I am. I 62 00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:52,080 Speaker 4: have what it says I have. I can do what 63 00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:54,799 Speaker 4: it says I can do. Today I will be taught 64 00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:58,840 Speaker 4: the word of God. I boldly confess. My mind is alert, 65 00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:02,040 Speaker 4: my heart is res accept it. I'll never be the same. 66 00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:06,639 Speaker 4: In Jesus' name, God bless you. I want to talk 67 00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:11,400 Speaker 4: to you today about called into the house. Sometimes we're 68 00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:14,240 Speaker 4: doing the right thing, but it doesn't seem like it's 69 00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:18,240 Speaker 4: making a difference. We're being our best, honoring God, but 70 00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:22,400 Speaker 4: we're not making much progress, not getting good breaks, our 71 00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:26,440 Speaker 4: dreams aren't coming to pass. It seems like we're being overlooked, 72 00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:29,720 Speaker 4: and it's easy to get discouraged. Think God must have 73 00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:33,880 Speaker 4: forgotten about us, especially when we see other people who 74 00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:38,600 Speaker 4: are being blessed, promoted meeting the right person. Thoughts tell 75 00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:43,240 Speaker 4: us it's because they're more talented, they're more attractive, they 76 00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:46,640 Speaker 4: come from an influential family. Just accept where you are. 77 00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:51,360 Speaker 4: These thoughts try to make us feel insignificant, push us down, 78 00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:55,440 Speaker 4: so we'll settle for mediocrity. This is what happened to 79 00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:58,840 Speaker 4: David in the scripture. He was the youngest son of 80 00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:02,920 Speaker 4: a man named Jesse. He had seven older brothers, and 81 00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:06,119 Speaker 4: as a teenager, he got stuck out in the shepherd's 82 00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:10,080 Speaker 4: fields taking care of his father's sheep. He spent his 83 00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:14,360 Speaker 4: days feeding the animals, cleaning up their mess, protecting them 84 00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:18,960 Speaker 4: from harm. It was boring, lonely. His brothers were in 85 00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:23,479 Speaker 4: the military, where it was exciting and prestigious. They wore 86 00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:27,880 Speaker 4: a uniform each day, had respect and honor. When they 87 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:33,400 Speaker 4: passed by, people admired them. Nobody thought of David. Nobody 88 00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:38,480 Speaker 4: celebrated him. In their eyes, what he was doing was insignificant. 89 00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:42,800 Speaker 4: They discounted him, thought as just David. He's the youngest, 90 00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:45,960 Speaker 4: he's small, he's not talented. He'll never do anything great. 91 00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:50,440 Speaker 4: They looked on the outside. What they couldn't see was 92 00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:54,400 Speaker 4: what was on the inside. David had a heart after God. 93 00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:59,479 Speaker 4: He didn't complain, he didn't slack off because nobody was watching. 94 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,640 Speaker 4: He didn't get bitter, go around with a chip on 95 00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:06,240 Speaker 4: his shoulder. He was his best right where he was 96 00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:10,080 Speaker 4: in the natural. Didn't look like he would ever get 97 00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:13,920 Speaker 4: out of the shepherd's fields and do something significant. Every 98 00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:18,320 Speaker 4: circumstance said he was stuck. His brothers looked down on him, 99 00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:21,720 Speaker 4: his father didn't believe in him. All the odds were 100 00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:25,960 Speaker 4: against him. But one day God told the prophet Samuel 101 00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:29,120 Speaker 4: to go to Jesse's house and anoint one of his 102 00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:32,840 Speaker 4: sons as the next king. When Samuel showed up, the 103 00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:37,760 Speaker 4: first one he saw was David's oldest brother, Ediab. He 104 00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:41,960 Speaker 4: was tall, good looking, had a great for seek, very 105 00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:45,000 Speaker 4: impressive Samuel thought, it's got to be him. Look at 106 00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:48,400 Speaker 4: that kid, he looks like a king. But the scripture 107 00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:53,240 Speaker 4: says God said to Samuel, do not consider his appearance 108 00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:56,440 Speaker 4: or his height. He is not the one you look 109 00:05:56,480 --> 00:06:00,160 Speaker 4: on the outside, but I look on the heart. Next 110 00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:03,080 Speaker 4: son came by, Samuel said, it's not him. Next one, 111 00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:07,000 Speaker 4: not him, went through all seven. Finally, Samuel asked, Jesse, 112 00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:11,120 Speaker 4: do you have any more sons. Jesse said, yes, I 113 00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:14,760 Speaker 4: have my youngest son, David. He's out in the shepherd's fields. 114 00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:18,240 Speaker 4: But I know it's not him. He's not strong and 115 00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:22,039 Speaker 4: impressive like these other sons. They serve in the military. 116 00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:27,000 Speaker 4: They're skillful, they're talented. David not so much. He's okay, 117 00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:30,200 Speaker 4: taking care of a few sheep, but not much more. 118 00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:36,039 Speaker 4: He discounted. David saw him as insignificant, didn't even bother 119 00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:40,080 Speaker 4: inviting him in. But just because people leave you out 120 00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:44,000 Speaker 4: doesn't mean God leaves you out. People may overlook you. 121 00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:47,720 Speaker 4: They may judge you by the outside, your height, your weight, 122 00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:51,200 Speaker 4: your skin color. God looks on the inside. The good 123 00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:55,279 Speaker 4: news is God has the final say. Promotion doesn't come 124 00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:58,920 Speaker 4: from people, it comes from the Lord. And people may 125 00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:02,200 Speaker 4: bypass you. They may not give you the time of day, 126 00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:05,839 Speaker 4: but they cannot stop what God has ordained for you. 127 00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:10,640 Speaker 4: If you'll keep being faithful, honoring God, He'll take you 128 00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:14,160 Speaker 4: from the background to the foreground. People may try to 129 00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:16,840 Speaker 4: push you down, God will lift you up. They may 130 00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:19,080 Speaker 4: try to hold you back. God will thrust you forward. 131 00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:24,040 Speaker 4: People don't determine your destiny. God does. When Samuel heard 132 00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:26,440 Speaker 4: that Jesse had another son, he asked him to go 133 00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:29,480 Speaker 4: get him. Jesse sent a messenger out, and I can 134 00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:33,280 Speaker 4: imagine David sees this man way off in the distance, 135 00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:37,160 Speaker 4: coming toward him full speed, and David thinks there's something wrong. 136 00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:41,800 Speaker 4: Is there an emergency? The messenger shows up and says, David, 137 00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:46,160 Speaker 4: your father needs you immediately, come with me. They take 138 00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:50,400 Speaker 4: off running together back to the house. When David arrived, 139 00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:54,200 Speaker 4: the moment Samuel saw him, he said, that's the one. 140 00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:59,160 Speaker 4: He's the next king of Israel. All those years David 141 00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:04,080 Speaker 4: spent out in the show Shepherd's Fields, he felt ignored, insignificant, 142 00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:08,880 Speaker 4: looked down on his family, discounted him, didn't give him 143 00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:12,400 Speaker 4: any credit. It looked like that would be his destiny. 144 00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:17,480 Speaker 4: But in one moment everything changed. What happened. He got 145 00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:22,280 Speaker 4: called into the house. People ignored him. God said, I 146 00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:26,480 Speaker 4: have my eye on David. People discounted him. God saw 147 00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:30,200 Speaker 4: his potential. They looked on the outside. God looked at 148 00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:33,880 Speaker 4: his heart. He saw David doing the right thing when 149 00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:37,239 Speaker 4: the wrong thing was happening. He saw him being faithful 150 00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:41,400 Speaker 4: even when it looked like he wasn't going anywhere. You too, 151 00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:45,280 Speaker 4: may feel like you're being overlooked, left out. The people 152 00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:47,800 Speaker 4: that should be for you should be cheering you on 153 00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:51,440 Speaker 4: doing just the opposite, discounting you, trying to push you down. 154 00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:55,920 Speaker 4: Don't worry. Your time is coming. God is watching you. 155 00:08:56,440 --> 00:09:01,920 Speaker 4: He sees your faithfulness, your dedication. You're in integrity like David. 156 00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:05,480 Speaker 4: You're about to be called into the house. You're about 157 00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:08,760 Speaker 4: to see doors open that you could never open. You're 158 00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:13,160 Speaker 4: about to see vindication where God honors you in front 159 00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:15,319 Speaker 4: of people who were trying to make you look bad. 160 00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:19,520 Speaker 4: You're going to see new levels of influence where people 161 00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:22,640 Speaker 4: that once disrespected you, didn't give you the time of day, 162 00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:25,199 Speaker 4: now they look up to you. Now they admire you, 163 00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:29,240 Speaker 4: ask you for advice. David was just minding his own 164 00:09:29,280 --> 00:09:32,440 Speaker 4: business this day. As far as he was concerned. It 165 00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:35,839 Speaker 4: was just another day at work, nothing special, taking care 166 00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:40,120 Speaker 4: of sheep, keeping them from wild animals. Suddenly his whole 167 00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:44,840 Speaker 4: life changed. It happened unexpectedly. You may think it's just 168 00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:48,480 Speaker 4: another ordinary day, going to work, coming home. You don't 169 00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:51,160 Speaker 4: know what God is up to. You never know when 170 00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:54,040 Speaker 4: that messenger is going to show up saying you're needed 171 00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:56,920 Speaker 4: in the house. You didn't see it coming, You weren't 172 00:09:56,920 --> 00:10:01,400 Speaker 4: expecting it. Suddenly you meet the right person. Suddenly the 173 00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:05,160 Speaker 4: medical report says cancer free. Suddenly you get that break 174 00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:08,240 Speaker 4: that thrust you to the next level. You were called 175 00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:12,680 Speaker 4: into the house. What's interesting is David wasn't dreaming about 176 00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:16,000 Speaker 4: becoming a king. He wasn't praying that one day he 177 00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:19,160 Speaker 4: would lead a nation. He never thought he would defeat 178 00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:23,120 Speaker 4: that giant and become an overnight national hero. He was 179 00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:27,760 Speaker 4: a shepherd boy from a low income family. That influence, 180 00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:31,880 Speaker 4: that kind of favor never entered his mind. What God 181 00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:35,360 Speaker 4: has in store for you is much bigger than you've imagined. 182 00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:39,400 Speaker 4: We pray for things that seem reasonable to us. We 183 00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:43,200 Speaker 4: asked for healing and protection, to meet the right people. 184 00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:47,160 Speaker 4: That's all good. But God has blessings that you've never 185 00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:50,080 Speaker 4: asked for. If He showed you all that was in 186 00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:53,680 Speaker 4: your future, it would boggle your mind. If you'll do 187 00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:57,480 Speaker 4: like David and be your best where you are, you 188 00:10:57,559 --> 00:11:01,680 Speaker 4: won't have to chase promotion. Promotion will chase you. You 189 00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:04,880 Speaker 4: will have to go after blessings. Blessings will come after you. 190 00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:09,800 Speaker 4: When you keep God first place, the scripture says you 191 00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:12,800 Speaker 4: won't be able to outrun the good things He has 192 00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:17,160 Speaker 4: in store. One of the keys is to stay faithful 193 00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:20,480 Speaker 4: where you are. Don't wait till you get out of 194 00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:23,120 Speaker 4: the shepherd's fields. Then you're going to be your best. 195 00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:27,120 Speaker 4: When you get a more significant position, then you're going 196 00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:30,280 Speaker 4: to give it your all. You have to be excellent 197 00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:34,320 Speaker 4: on the level you're on right now, pass the test 198 00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:38,000 Speaker 4: in the small areas. If David would have slacked off, 199 00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:41,080 Speaker 4: done a half hearted job, he wouldn't have been called 200 00:11:41,120 --> 00:11:44,680 Speaker 4: into the house. And if you're not excellent on your level, 201 00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:48,960 Speaker 4: then you won't see promotion and increase. A friend of 202 00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:51,880 Speaker 4: mine started pastoring a church in the hills of West 203 00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:56,520 Speaker 4: Virginia in his late teens. Many Sundays there were only 204 00:11:56,600 --> 00:12:00,239 Speaker 4: seven people in the congregation. He taught a Bible class 205 00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:03,760 Speaker 4: each week with three people. Year after year went by, 206 00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:07,400 Speaker 4: and not too much changed. He had an incredible gift 207 00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:12,079 Speaker 4: for ministry, very anointed, very powerful, but only a few 208 00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:17,840 Speaker 4: dozen people really recognized his gift. Most discounted him thought, ah, 209 00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:20,360 Speaker 4: that's that young pastor. He doesn't have much to offer. 210 00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:24,080 Speaker 4: He was very poor. He drove a car that had 211 00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:27,160 Speaker 4: holes in the floorboard where it had rusted out. You 212 00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:29,760 Speaker 4: had to keep your feet up so they wouldn't touch 213 00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:33,000 Speaker 4: the ground. He was not only the pastor of the church, 214 00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:35,960 Speaker 4: he was the janitor as well. He would vacuum it, 215 00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:39,600 Speaker 4: clean out the restrooms. He knew he had more in him. 216 00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:43,280 Speaker 4: He knew he was going to make a greater impact. 217 00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:46,800 Speaker 4: But he didn't slack off because he wasn't where he 218 00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:49,880 Speaker 4: wanted to be. He didn't say, when I get a 219 00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:54,080 Speaker 4: bigger congregation, I'll be my best. When I get some recognition, 220 00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:57,720 Speaker 4: when these people start realizing what I have to offer, 221 00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:00,240 Speaker 4: then I'll give it my awe. He was his best 222 00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:03,920 Speaker 4: right where he was. Some people in this small town 223 00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:07,360 Speaker 4: tried to discourage him, told him that he would never 224 00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:10,360 Speaker 4: make it as a pastor. He was too poor, didn't 225 00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:14,640 Speaker 4: have the training, the experience. They discounted him, tried to 226 00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:18,280 Speaker 4: make him feel insignificant. But one day. Through a series 227 00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:23,239 Speaker 4: of unusual events, part of his message ended up on television. 228 00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:27,040 Speaker 4: The owner of a Christian network saw it and said, 229 00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:29,720 Speaker 4: I want that man on my network all the time. 230 00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:35,120 Speaker 4: Overnight he went from an unknown, small ministry in West 231 00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:39,800 Speaker 4: Virginia to a platform reaching millions of people today. Our 232 00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:43,720 Speaker 4: friend TD Jakes doesn't have just a couple dozen people. 233 00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:49,640 Speaker 4: He has thousands and has impacted the world. What happened 234 00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:53,760 Speaker 4: He got called into the house. People tried to hold 235 00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:57,240 Speaker 4: him back, his own thoughts told him, you'll never get 236 00:13:57,280 --> 00:14:01,360 Speaker 4: out of this limited environment. But he understood this principle. 237 00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:05,000 Speaker 4: If you'll be faithful where you are, then when it's 238 00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:07,800 Speaker 4: your time to be called, when it's your time to 239 00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:11,760 Speaker 4: be promoted, to be healed, to be vindicated, all the 240 00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:15,840 Speaker 4: forces of darkness cannot hold you back. And like him, 241 00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:20,440 Speaker 4: many of you have been faithful. You've done the right 242 00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:23,320 Speaker 4: thing when it was hard. You haven't listened to the 243 00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:27,960 Speaker 4: negative voices trying to discourage you. But nothing has happened. 244 00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:31,600 Speaker 4: You're still in the shepherd's fields. Does it look like 245 00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:34,160 Speaker 4: you'll ever get the break you need, ever get well, 246 00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:38,360 Speaker 4: ever meet the right person. You may feel overlooked, but 247 00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:42,760 Speaker 4: God is saying I haven't forgotten about you. Samuel is 248 00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:46,240 Speaker 4: on the way. You're about to be called into the house. 249 00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:49,840 Speaker 4: I'm about to do what medicine can't do. I'm about 250 00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:52,800 Speaker 4: to restore what the enemy's trying to steal. I'm about 251 00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:55,840 Speaker 4: to take you where you could not go on your own. 252 00:14:56,280 --> 00:14:59,800 Speaker 4: Now do your part. Keep being excellent where you are. 253 00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:03,960 Speaker 4: If God can't trust you to be faithful in the wilderness, 254 00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:06,200 Speaker 4: how can he trust you to be faithful in the 255 00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:11,240 Speaker 4: Promised Land? And those things that are not changing, people 256 00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:14,920 Speaker 4: dismissing you. Those times where you feel like you're doing 257 00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:19,840 Speaker 4: something insignificant, those are times of testing, times of proving 258 00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:22,480 Speaker 4: where you have to show God what you're made of. 259 00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:27,040 Speaker 4: That's when your character is developed. It's easy to slack off. 260 00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:31,640 Speaker 4: Now this doesn't matter, it's insignificant. Nobody is watching. You 261 00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:36,040 Speaker 4: have to pass small tests before God will release big things. 262 00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:39,600 Speaker 4: If you're not excellent on the level you're on, you 263 00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:42,160 Speaker 4: won't get to the next level, and you may not 264 00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:45,120 Speaker 4: like where you are. You know you have more in you. 265 00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:48,520 Speaker 4: It's taken longer than your thought. But God knows what 266 00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:53,280 Speaker 4: he's doing. He's closely watching you. If you'll keep passing 267 00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:56,880 Speaker 4: the test, staying faithful where you are. It's just a 268 00:15:56,920 --> 00:15:59,960 Speaker 4: matter of time before you see that messenger show up 269 00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:06,200 Speaker 4: suddenly unexpectedly, like Bishop Jakes. Seems like another ordinary day, 270 00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:10,080 Speaker 4: but the right person sees you, and your whole world changes. 271 00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:15,080 Speaker 4: Like David, somebody he didn't even know, the prophet Samuel 272 00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:18,640 Speaker 4: came looking for him. God knows how to get you 273 00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:21,800 Speaker 4: to where you're supposed to be. He's already lined up 274 00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:25,080 Speaker 4: your samuels who will search you out to be good 275 00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:28,040 Speaker 4: to you. Well, you said, Joe, I'd love to believe 276 00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:31,600 Speaker 4: this sounds good, but you don't know my situation. I 277 00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:35,680 Speaker 4: don't come from a prominent family. Neither did David. I 278 00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:38,800 Speaker 4: don't know anyone influential that can give me a good break, 279 00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:41,760 Speaker 4: open a door. Neither did David. I don't have a 280 00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:46,120 Speaker 4: good position. I'm doing something that seems insignificant. So was David. 281 00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:51,080 Speaker 4: If you see what you're doing is not important, not significant, 282 00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:55,120 Speaker 4: most likely you won't do it with excellence. What makes 283 00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:59,120 Speaker 4: it incredibly important is the fact that that's where God 284 00:16:59,160 --> 00:17:03,040 Speaker 4: has you. Now, You're not there by accident. It holds 285 00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:06,720 Speaker 4: the key to you risen higher. Samuel won't come looking 286 00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:09,919 Speaker 4: if there's not excellence where you are. You don't have 287 00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:12,439 Speaker 4: to do it better than somebody else. Just do it 288 00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:15,439 Speaker 4: to the best of your ability. Knowing you're not working 289 00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:19,480 Speaker 4: under people, You're working under God. I talked to a 290 00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:22,800 Speaker 4: lady recently. She had been sick on and off for 291 00:17:22,840 --> 00:17:25,680 Speaker 4: two years. She had to take a leave of absence 292 00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:29,840 Speaker 4: from her job. She's a registered nurse for over thirty years, 293 00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:33,439 Speaker 4: has been a model employee with the same company. She 294 00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:36,920 Speaker 4: felt badly about having to miss so much work and 295 00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:40,280 Speaker 4: not having the income was difficult on her family. She's 296 00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:44,639 Speaker 4: a single parent mom raising two children. After two years, 297 00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:47,120 Speaker 4: she was cleared to go back to work, but when 298 00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:50,879 Speaker 4: she showed up, her supervisor told her that she didn't 299 00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:55,120 Speaker 4: have a job anymore, that position had been filled. After 300 00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:58,680 Speaker 4: putting all this time into this company, she was going 301 00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:02,440 Speaker 4: to lose her benefits, her seniority have to start all over. 302 00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:05,760 Speaker 4: It seemed like those thirty years went down the drain. 303 00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:11,320 Speaker 4: Her teenage children said to her, mom, You've always taught 304 00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:14,359 Speaker 4: us that God is in control, that he's going to 305 00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:17,080 Speaker 4: take care of us. These last two years. We haven't 306 00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:20,000 Speaker 4: missed a payment on the house, we haven't gone without 307 00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:22,719 Speaker 4: What makes you think that God is going to fail us. 308 00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:27,280 Speaker 4: Now She's been years speaking faith and encouragement into her kids. 309 00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:31,600 Speaker 4: Now those seeds of encouragement were coming back to her, 310 00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:35,840 Speaker 4: and instead of being negative, thinking God's forgotten about me. 311 00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:40,080 Speaker 4: Never dreamed I'd be unemployed at this age. She believed 312 00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:42,760 Speaker 4: that God had her in the palm of his hand, 313 00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:45,719 Speaker 4: that he would open the right doors. A couple of 314 00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:51,119 Speaker 4: weeks later, her boss's supervisor called the house. This lady 315 00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:55,600 Speaker 4: didn't call the company. The company called her. This boss, 316 00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:58,919 Speaker 4: this Samuel so to speak. Said I'm just checking with you, 317 00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:01,560 Speaker 4: wondering when you be able to come back to work. 318 00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:04,840 Speaker 4: The lady was puzzled and said, what do you mean 319 00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:07,640 Speaker 4: I came back? They told me I don't have a job. 320 00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:10,720 Speaker 4: She said, are you kidding? Of course you do. You 321 00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:15,800 Speaker 4: come see me, you can start tomorrow. What was that? 322 00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:19,760 Speaker 4: She got called into the house. Samuel came looking for 323 00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:24,040 Speaker 4: her friends. God knows how to vindicate you. Somebody's trying 324 00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:26,920 Speaker 4: to hold you down. Don't worry. God can go over them, 325 00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:29,440 Speaker 4: or he can go around them, move them out of 326 00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:32,080 Speaker 4: the way. Bottom line, God will get you to where 327 00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:36,680 Speaker 4: you're supposed to be. David's own family didn't believe in him, 328 00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:40,760 Speaker 4: his father thought he was not tall enough, not talented enough, 329 00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:44,560 Speaker 4: not smart enough. The good news is when God is 330 00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:47,680 Speaker 4: ready to call you, he doesn't go check with your family. 331 00:19:48,480 --> 00:19:50,880 Speaker 4: He doesn't go ask your cousin do you think they 332 00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:54,040 Speaker 4: have what it takes. He doesn't consult with your boss 333 00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:58,040 Speaker 4: if it's time to promote you. God doesn't need people's 334 00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:01,800 Speaker 4: approval to do what he wants to do in your life. 335 00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:05,560 Speaker 4: If people don't believe in you, that's okay. The God 336 00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:09,280 Speaker 4: who created the universe, the one who matters He does. 337 00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:13,560 Speaker 4: Your family may not encourage you, You can encourage yourself. 338 00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:18,760 Speaker 4: People may not celebrate you, learn to celebrate yourself. I 339 00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:22,119 Speaker 4: know a man that was raised in Latin America. His 340 00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:27,080 Speaker 4: parents were missionaries to Mexico, very faithful, dedicated people. At 341 00:20:27,119 --> 00:20:30,200 Speaker 4: the age of three, his father was killed in an accident. 342 00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:33,760 Speaker 4: His mother decided to stay in Mexico and continue on 343 00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:37,960 Speaker 4: the ministry while raising four small children. One day, when 344 00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:41,680 Speaker 4: they were in the States visiting relatives, they went to Washington, 345 00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:45,280 Speaker 4: d C. To take in the sites. As a young boy, 346 00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:48,399 Speaker 4: he stood on the sidewalk in front of the White 347 00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:52,320 Speaker 4: House in such awe, thinking about how the president of 348 00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:55,720 Speaker 4: the United States lives in there. He looked through the 349 00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:59,200 Speaker 4: iron fence and he could see people in the windows 350 00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:02,960 Speaker 4: of the White House going about their business. He thought 351 00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:06,040 Speaker 4: about what it must be like to be on the inside, 352 00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:11,280 Speaker 4: all that power, prestige, influence. It was impressive enough being 353 00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:14,880 Speaker 4: on the outside. He could only imagine how important those 354 00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:17,760 Speaker 4: people were on the inside. To him. It was a 355 00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:23,480 Speaker 4: huge contrast from his humble missionary environment during Mexico, where 356 00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:27,640 Speaker 4: people had so little. Over the years, this young boy 357 00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:31,600 Speaker 4: discovered he had a gift of music and singing. He 358 00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:35,520 Speaker 4: could write incredible songs and play the piano. He became 359 00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:39,280 Speaker 4: a well known worship leader in Latin America, holding concerts 360 00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:43,600 Speaker 4: with thousands of people. A while back, he was invited 361 00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:46,919 Speaker 4: to the White House to sing for the President at 362 00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:50,919 Speaker 4: an official state dinner. As he sat on the platform 363 00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:54,600 Speaker 4: with world leaders and shared his gift, he couldn't believe 364 00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:57,919 Speaker 4: he was there. He never dreamed, as a little boy 365 00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:03,520 Speaker 4: raised by missionary with very little income, that one day 366 00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:07,560 Speaker 4: he would be inside the White House. During a break 367 00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:10,840 Speaker 4: in the program, he left the dinner and went out 368 00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:15,159 Speaker 4: into the hallway. He found the same windows that he 369 00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:19,320 Speaker 4: had seen people through some thirty years earlier. He looked 370 00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:24,400 Speaker 4: out and saw people standing behind the iron fence where 371 00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:27,440 Speaker 4: he had stood as a little boy from the outside 372 00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:32,159 Speaker 4: looking in. He started waving and waving. He said, I 373 00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:35,199 Speaker 4: wanted to tell them I was where you are. You 374 00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:38,440 Speaker 4: never know. One day, instead of being on the outside 375 00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:41,400 Speaker 4: looking in, you may be on the inside looking out 376 00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:46,720 Speaker 4: when you get called into the house. You don't know 377 00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:49,760 Speaker 4: where God is going to take you. But sometimes when 378 00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:52,600 Speaker 4: we see a person on the inside, in other words, 379 00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:56,960 Speaker 4: they're blessed, prosperous, influential, we think that will never be me. 380 00:22:57,560 --> 00:23:00,359 Speaker 4: I don't have the talent like him, the connection, the 381 00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:03,720 Speaker 4: good looks. None of that matters to God when you 382 00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:06,920 Speaker 4: have a heart to know him, when your best right 383 00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:10,320 Speaker 4: where you are, one touch of God's favor can take 384 00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:13,280 Speaker 4: you from the outside to the inside. You may not 385 00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:17,920 Speaker 4: realize it. You already have royal blood flowing through your veins. 386 00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:21,680 Speaker 4: You're wearing a crown of favor. God breathes his life 387 00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:25,639 Speaker 4: into you. He didn't create you to stay on the 388 00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:29,960 Speaker 4: outside to live in the shepherd's fields. Sure, there are 389 00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:33,399 Speaker 4: seasons that we go through tests we must pass, but 390 00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:37,160 Speaker 4: don't let that become permanent in your thinking. God has 391 00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:40,440 Speaker 4: already lined up the samuels to come push you into 392 00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:44,119 Speaker 4: your destiny. You may be on the outside, but get ready, 393 00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:49,040 Speaker 4: God's going to bring you to the inside. Growing up, 394 00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:52,440 Speaker 4: I used to admire my father. He was my hero 395 00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:56,320 Speaker 4: and had little children. We would travel with my parents. 396 00:23:56,480 --> 00:23:59,399 Speaker 4: When my dad would speak at large conferences from us 397 00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:03,080 Speaker 4: several thighs and people, and everybody loved my father. Afterwards, 398 00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:05,000 Speaker 4: they'd want to come up and shake his hand, and 399 00:24:05,400 --> 00:24:08,960 Speaker 4: I watched in the distance, was so proud. I used 400 00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:11,640 Speaker 4: to think I could never do what he does. He's 401 00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:15,800 Speaker 4: so smart, so talented, so creative. I came back after 402 00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:20,240 Speaker 4: college and spent seventeen years working behind the scenes doing 403 00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:24,400 Speaker 4: the television production here at Lakewood. I did my best 404 00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:28,240 Speaker 4: to make my father look good. But God doesn't want 405 00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:32,800 Speaker 4: us to go through life just celebrating others. He wants 406 00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:33,879 Speaker 4: you to be celebrated. 407 00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:34,720 Speaker 2: Now. 408 00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:37,679 Speaker 4: I never dreamed I would do this. I never prayed 409 00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:40,560 Speaker 4: that one day I would be up here. I didn't 410 00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:43,679 Speaker 4: think this was in me. But when Daddy went to 411 00:24:43,680 --> 00:24:46,160 Speaker 4: be with the Lord in nineteen ninety nine, I got 412 00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:49,520 Speaker 4: called into the house. I discovered talent that I didn't 413 00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:52,879 Speaker 4: know I had. Now I'm no longer on the outside 414 00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:56,440 Speaker 4: looking in. I'm on the inside looking out. Here's my point. 415 00:24:58,119 --> 00:25:03,280 Speaker 4: Sometimes thoughts will tell you you belong on the outside. 416 00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:07,200 Speaker 4: You know that blessed life, that prosperous, abundant life. That's 417 00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:10,000 Speaker 4: not for you. That's for those people that are more talented, 418 00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:13,359 Speaker 4: that have more beauty, that have more than you. Don't 419 00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:18,000 Speaker 4: believe those lies. You didn't get left out, You weren't shortchanged. 420 00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:22,280 Speaker 4: God put greatness in you. There are gifts and talents 421 00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:25,359 Speaker 4: you've not yet tapped into. There are new levels in 422 00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:30,119 Speaker 4: your future. Keep being faithful, Like David, your time is coming. 423 00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:33,800 Speaker 4: You're going to be called into the house. My friend 424 00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:36,840 Speaker 4: John here on the front row, ran camera for us 425 00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:40,640 Speaker 4: at Lakewood for over twenty years. It was always faithful, 426 00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:44,000 Speaker 4: always had a smile, a kind word, somebody we could 427 00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:47,159 Speaker 4: count on. And I noticed through the years that John 428 00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:51,399 Speaker 4: moved very slowly. I thought that was just his personality. 429 00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:55,440 Speaker 4: I didn't realize that he didn't have the strength. At 430 00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:59,800 Speaker 4: ten years old, he was diagnosed with that defective heart, 431 00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:04,080 Speaker 4: didn't work, got to the place he couldn't walk upstairs, 432 00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:07,439 Speaker 4: drive his car, had to have medicine flowing into him 433 00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:12,240 Speaker 4: twenty four hours a day, intravenously. Last December, he was 434 00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:15,880 Speaker 4: so weak ended up in the hospital. The doctor told 435 00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:18,760 Speaker 4: him that his heart had finally given out. His only 436 00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:22,760 Speaker 4: chance of survival was a heart transplant. He was put 437 00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:26,400 Speaker 4: on the waiting list. Typically that takes up to a year. 438 00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:29,960 Speaker 4: Problem is, John didn't have a year. Some of our 439 00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:34,520 Speaker 4: cameramen send him my message about how God can accelerate things, 440 00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:38,720 Speaker 4: make it happen quicker than you thought. That seed took 441 00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:42,679 Speaker 4: root in his spirit. Three weeks later, the doctor called 442 00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:45,320 Speaker 4: said John, we have a heart for you. He had 443 00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:48,800 Speaker 4: the transplant. Today, he's here. He says, he feels better 444 00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:52,040 Speaker 4: than he's felt in forty years. He can climb stairs, 445 00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:57,080 Speaker 4: he can drive again, life again, live again. John got 446 00:26:57,280 --> 00:27:02,600 Speaker 4: called into the house the news today. God has your number, 447 00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:05,959 Speaker 4: He has the heart you need, He has the healing 448 00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:08,800 Speaker 4: that belongs to you. He has the baby with your 449 00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:12,000 Speaker 4: name on it. You may be on the outside, but 450 00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:15,639 Speaker 4: God's about to bring you to the inside. Like John, 451 00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:18,720 Speaker 4: You're gonna look up and say, I feel better now 452 00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:22,480 Speaker 4: than I felt in years. Like me, You're not going 453 00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:26,159 Speaker 4: to just be celebrating and admiring others. You're going to 454 00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:30,720 Speaker 4: be celebrated. Friends. There are blessings in your future you've 455 00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:34,119 Speaker 4: never asked for, you've never thought about. You may not 456 00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:36,840 Speaker 4: see how it can happen. You feel like you're stuck. 457 00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:40,639 Speaker 4: You're in the shepherd's fields. But God has not forgotten 458 00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:44,360 Speaker 4: about you. If you'll keep being your best where you are, 459 00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:48,480 Speaker 4: I believe and declare you're about to be called into 460 00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:51,600 Speaker 4: the house. New doors are going to open. The right people, 461 00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:55,719 Speaker 4: show up, problems, turn around. The fullness of your destiny 462 00:27:56,080 --> 00:27:59,520 Speaker 4: in Jesus's name, if you receive it today, Can you 463 00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:04,360 Speaker 4: say I'd like to give you an opportunity to make 464 00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:07,600 Speaker 4: Jesus the lord of your life. Would you pray with me? 465 00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:13,840 Speaker 4: Just say, Lord, Jesus, I repent of my sins. Come 466 00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:19,600 Speaker 4: into my heart. I make you my Lord and savior. Friends, 467 00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:22,280 Speaker 4: if you prayed that simple prayer, we believe you got 468 00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:26,000 Speaker 4: born again.
