Thanks for listening to our 36 00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:36,760 Speaker 2: podcast and thanks for supporting the ministry. 37 00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:39,280 Speaker 1: If you enjoy today's message, why don't you be a 38 00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:40,360 Speaker 1: blessing and share. 39 00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:43,080 Speaker 2: It with a friend, reappreciate you and pray for God's 40 00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:57,560 Speaker 2: very best in your life.

I promise you we'll 44 00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:08,680 Speaker 2: make you feel right at home. I like to start 45 00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:11,639 Speaker 2: with something funny, and I heard about these three pastors 46 00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:14,440 Speaker 2: that were in a boat fishing together one day and 47 00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:17,240 Speaker 2: one of them said, we never get to let our 48 00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:20,760 Speaker 2: hair down. Let's each tell the area that we struggle 49 00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:23,040 Speaker 2: in the most, so we can pray for each other. 50 00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:26,200 Speaker 2: First one said, I hate to admit this, but I 51 00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:29,200 Speaker 2: have a problem with gambling. I sneak out a lot 52 00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:32,359 Speaker 2: of nights and go gamble. Second one said, I have 53 00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:35,800 Speaker 2: a problem with cheating. I hardly ever pay my taxes. 54 00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:40,160 Speaker 2: The third one just sat there silently. They waited, waited, wait. 55 00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:42,480 Speaker 2: He wouldn't budge. They said, we're not leaving till you 56 00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:45,600 Speaker 2: tell us yours. He said, all right, my greatest sin 57 00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:48,400 Speaker 2: is with gossiping, and I can't wait to get off 58 00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:52,160 Speaker 2: this boat. Say it like you mean it. This is 59 00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:55,239 Speaker 2: my Bible. I am what it says. I am. I 60 00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:57,600 Speaker 2: have what it says I have. I can do what 61 00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:00,480 Speaker 2: it says I can do. Today I will he talked 62 00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:04,560 Speaker 2: the word of God. I boldly confess. My mind is alert, 63 00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:07,840 Speaker 2: my heart is receptive. I will never be the same. 64 00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:12,480 Speaker 2: In Jesus' name, God bless you. I want to talk 65 00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:16,720 Speaker 2: to you today about under construction. One time, Victoria and 66 00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:19,959 Speaker 2: I were building a house. The foundation was poured and 67 00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:23,560 Speaker 2: most of the framing was up. The roof was in place, 68 00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:27,440 Speaker 2: but no shingles. There was a big storm. It rained 69 00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:29,880 Speaker 2: on and off for a couple of days. When it 70 00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:32,720 Speaker 2: cleared up, we went over to check on the house. 71 00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:36,600 Speaker 2: It was so messy. The living room was lower than 72 00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:39,040 Speaker 2: the other rooms. It had about a foot of water 73 00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:43,280 Speaker 2: in it, like a dirty swimming pool. Plywood was floating. 74 00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:48,280 Speaker 2: Workers had tracked mud all through the house. Outside there 75 00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:52,120 Speaker 2: was trash piled high that couldn't be picked up because 76 00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:56,240 Speaker 2: of all the rain. It looked like a disaster, disorganized, 77 00:03:56,480 --> 00:04:01,160 Speaker 2: things out of place. What's interesting is and say, let's 78 00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:04,400 Speaker 2: stop building. This place is so messy. It's never going 79 00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:07,640 Speaker 2: to be what we wanted. We knew it was all 80 00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:11,160 Speaker 2: a part of the process. You can't have a beautiful 81 00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:15,600 Speaker 2: house without rain, mud, sheet rock, dust, paint that doesn't 82 00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:19,200 Speaker 2: smell good. In the same way, you have to see 83 00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:22,840 Speaker 2: the things that are messy in your life, the things 84 00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:25,799 Speaker 2: you struggle with, the things that seem out of place. 85 00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:30,240 Speaker 2: As simply under construction doesn't mean it's not going to 86 00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:34,240 Speaker 2: work out. That water in your living room, the disappointment, 87 00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:38,280 Speaker 2: the betrayal, the delay. You may not like it, but 88 00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:42,200 Speaker 2: it's all a part of the process. You're under construction. 89 00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:46,480 Speaker 2: You can't become all you were created to be without 90 00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:51,719 Speaker 2: some messy places. To the untrained eye, a construction site 91 00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:56,840 Speaker 2: can look disorganized, random, but to the architect, it's no 92 00:04:56,960 --> 00:05:00,680 Speaker 2: big deal. They're not worried. They drew the place. They 93 00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:05,160 Speaker 2: know exactly where it's going. Your architect is the most 94 00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:09,440 Speaker 2: high God. He's designed a specific plan for your life. 95 00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:14,200 Speaker 2: The good news is the messy places can't stop your destiny. 96 00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:19,080 Speaker 2: The delays, the things you don't understand, even the mistakes 97 00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:23,400 Speaker 2: you've made, He's already taken them into account. You may 98 00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:26,200 Speaker 2: not see how your dream could ever work out. You 99 00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:30,000 Speaker 2: feel like you're stuck. God is saying you're right on schedule. 100 00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:33,640 Speaker 2: You're not a finished product. I'm still working on you. 101 00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:38,080 Speaker 2: What I started I'm going to bring to completion. The 102 00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:41,800 Speaker 2: accuser will whisper, not you. You have too many flaws, 103 00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:45,480 Speaker 2: too many weaknesses. You made, too many mistakes. Just remind 104 00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:49,640 Speaker 2: him I'm under construction. I may have some messy places, 105 00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:53,880 Speaker 2: but God's not finished with me. Paul said in Ephesians, 106 00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:58,039 Speaker 2: you are a masterpiece. You may not be there quite yet. 107 00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:01,640 Speaker 2: But instead of beating yoursel elf up living with that 108 00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:06,240 Speaker 2: negative recording, how you don't measure up our attitude should be. 109 00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:10,520 Speaker 2: I'm a masterpiece in the making. Will you still struggle 110 00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:13,840 Speaker 2: with that addiction? Yes, but I know a secret. I'm 111 00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:17,880 Speaker 2: under construction. God's still working on me. You still have 112 00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:21,279 Speaker 2: the temper, you still say things that you shouldn't. Yes, 113 00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:24,880 Speaker 2: but I'm better than I was last year. I'm growing, 114 00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:29,000 Speaker 2: I'm coming up higher, and I know this what God started, 115 00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:32,240 Speaker 2: He's going to finish. You have to look beyond the 116 00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:36,960 Speaker 2: mess and see the masterpiece. God told Abraham that he 117 00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:39,520 Speaker 2: was going to have a son and become the father 118 00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:43,000 Speaker 2: of many nations. But he and his wife Sarah were 119 00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:47,160 Speaker 2: too old, way past the child bearing years. They prayed, 120 00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:51,520 Speaker 2: stood in faith for years, still no baby. Sarah said Abraham, 121 00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:54,600 Speaker 2: I have an idea. Why don't you sleep with the 122 00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:57,960 Speaker 2: maid and maybe God will give us this son that 123 00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:01,560 Speaker 2: he promised. Abraham did even have to pray about this one. 124 00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:05,760 Speaker 2: No problem, honey, whatever you say. He slept with the maid. 125 00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:10,080 Speaker 2: They had a son that they named Ishmael. They were 126 00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:14,560 Speaker 2: so excited they finally had their baby. God said Abraham, Sarah, 127 00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:17,920 Speaker 2: that is not the promised child, that's your own. Doing 128 00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:22,960 Speaker 2: this caused all kinds of strife and division. Sarah got 129 00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:27,160 Speaker 2: mad at Abraham, What were you thinking sleeping with the maid? 130 00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:29,240 Speaker 2: He said, what do you mean you're the one that 131 00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:31,320 Speaker 2: told me to do it. She said, I know, but 132 00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:34,120 Speaker 2: you shouldn't have listened to me. Lord, help all of 133 00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:37,800 Speaker 2: us men. Abraham and Sarah were at odds, arguing with 134 00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:41,760 Speaker 2: each other. If that wasn't bad enough, Sarah was so 135 00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:46,080 Speaker 2: upset with the maid she gave Abraham an ultimatum. Either 136 00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:49,040 Speaker 2: the maid is leaving or I'm leaving, but we're not 137 00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:53,640 Speaker 2: staying here together. Abraham felt badly about it. The maid 138 00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:56,880 Speaker 2: hadn't done anything wrong, yet he had to send her 139 00:07:57,440 --> 00:08:01,800 Speaker 2: and his son out into the desert. Now, Abraham is 140 00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:05,280 Speaker 2: the father of our faith. You would be hard pressed 141 00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:09,320 Speaker 2: to find a more dysfunctional family than them. He was 142 00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:13,640 Speaker 2: in a messy place, had a baby out of wedlock, strife, 143 00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:17,160 Speaker 2: troubled division in his house. Most people would have written 144 00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:20,280 Speaker 2: them off. Thought it's too late for you, guys. You 145 00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:24,520 Speaker 2: need to be on reality TV, real housewives of the Bible. 146 00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:28,840 Speaker 2: You've got so much drama in your house. God looked 147 00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:33,760 Speaker 2: at them and said, under construction. The messy places are 148 00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:37,680 Speaker 2: all a part of the process. It may be uncomfortable, 149 00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:41,120 Speaker 2: you don't understand it. You may have brought the trouble 150 00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:45,000 Speaker 2: on yourself. But it's not a surprise to God. When 151 00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:49,880 Speaker 2: he designed your plan, he took that into account. Despite 152 00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:54,920 Speaker 2: their wrong choices, despite their dysfunction. At ninety years of age, 153 00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:59,040 Speaker 2: God caused Sarah to conceive and give birth to Isaac. 154 00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:04,520 Speaker 2: The promise. If Abraham and Sarah saw their promise come 155 00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:08,360 Speaker 2: to pass after all that mess, what makes you think 156 00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:11,120 Speaker 2: God is not going to bring to pass what he's 157 00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:14,960 Speaker 2: promised you? Well, Joe, in my situation is too messy. 158 00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:18,160 Speaker 2: It couldn't be any messier than theirs. While I have 159 00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:21,199 Speaker 2: water in my living room, mud on my floors, you're 160 00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:25,000 Speaker 2: under construction. That's a part of the process. It doesn't 161 00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:28,320 Speaker 2: mean that God is not going to finish what he started. 162 00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:32,160 Speaker 2: Here's how amazing God is. It says in Romans that 163 00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:36,880 Speaker 2: Abraham did not waver in his faith. Having a baby 164 00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:41,120 Speaker 2: out of wedlock. To me, that's wavering, being impatient, trying 165 00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:44,079 Speaker 2: to make things happen in your own strength, having to 166 00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:47,480 Speaker 2: kick somebody out of your house, that seems life wavering. 167 00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:52,000 Speaker 2: But God does not see the construction process as wavering. 168 00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:57,760 Speaker 2: The mistakes Abraham made, the strife, the dysfunction, God didn't 169 00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:01,839 Speaker 2: hold that against him. In fact, God called Abraham a 170 00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:06,040 Speaker 2: hero of faith. Why don't you quit beating yourself up 171 00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:10,400 Speaker 2: because you're under construction. When God brings you to completion, 172 00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:14,120 Speaker 2: when he delivers you from the addiction, when he turns 173 00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:17,800 Speaker 2: your family around, he's not going to remember your weaknesses. 174 00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:21,559 Speaker 2: He's not going to bring up past mistakes and failures. 175 00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:27,040 Speaker 2: God knows when we're under construction. We all have missy places, 176 00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:30,880 Speaker 2: we all make mistakes, we all have things to overcome. 177 00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:34,480 Speaker 2: But that is not going to keep you from becoming 178 00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:38,880 Speaker 2: a masterpiece. It's only temporary. But one of the worst 179 00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:42,920 Speaker 2: mistakes we could make is to go through life against ourselves, 180 00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:46,400 Speaker 2: focused on our failures, on the times we blew it, 181 00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:51,280 Speaker 2: the times we failed. You have enough people and circumstances 182 00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:55,920 Speaker 2: already against you. Don't be against yourself. You have to 183 00:10:56,040 --> 00:11:00,480 Speaker 2: be at peace with being under construction. Going to have 184 00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:05,239 Speaker 2: some messy places, some things you don't understand, some weaknesses 185 00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:10,439 Speaker 2: that you haven't overcome. The accuser will work overtime reminding 186 00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:13,400 Speaker 2: you of everything you've done wrong, how you're not going 187 00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:17,520 Speaker 2: to reach your destiny. Instead of believing those lies, going 188 00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:21,560 Speaker 2: around guilty, no passion, why don't you turn it around. Father, 189 00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:25,280 Speaker 2: Thank you that you're still working on me. I know 190 00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:29,199 Speaker 2: this mess is a sign that I'm under construction. Just 191 00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:34,280 Speaker 2: like with Abraham, despite my shortcomings, despite my failures, You're 192 00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:36,800 Speaker 2: still going to get me to where I'm supposed to be. 193 00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:40,240 Speaker 2: When you live like that, God will say about you 194 00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:44,040 Speaker 2: what he said about Abraham. You did not waver in 195 00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:48,640 Speaker 2: your faith. We see this with Peter, one of Jesus' disciples. 196 00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:52,600 Speaker 2: He was hot tempered, He used bad language. One time, 197 00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:56,240 Speaker 2: he got angry and cut off a soldier's ear. One 198 00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:59,760 Speaker 2: moment he was defending Jesus, a man of great courage. 199 00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:04,559 Speaker 2: Another moment, he was denying Jesus, swearing to the authorities 200 00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:08,000 Speaker 2: that he didn't know him. People could have looked at him, Peter, 201 00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:11,679 Speaker 2: you're a mess. You have issues. God looked at him 202 00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:16,800 Speaker 2: and said, under construction. The difference between how people saw 203 00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:20,800 Speaker 2: him and how God saw him is God had the plans. 204 00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:24,720 Speaker 2: God could see what he was going to become. People 205 00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:29,199 Speaker 2: just saw his falls, his hot temper, his instability. This 206 00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:32,360 Speaker 2: is why it's so important that we don't judge people, 207 00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:36,240 Speaker 2: don't write anybody off. We can't see their plans. We 208 00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:39,800 Speaker 2: don't know what God is designed for them. We see 209 00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:43,360 Speaker 2: people that make mistakes have weaknesses. We think, boy, they're 210 00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:46,800 Speaker 2: never going to get it together. We don't realize they're 211 00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:51,400 Speaker 2: under construction. God's still working on them. I have enough 212 00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:54,240 Speaker 2: weaknesses of my own to deal with. I don't have 213 00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:58,559 Speaker 2: time to judge somebody else for their weaknesses. But I 214 00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:02,599 Speaker 2: love the fact that Jesus chose Peter even though he 215 00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:05,600 Speaker 2: knew he was hot tempered, he knew he was impatient, 216 00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:08,760 Speaker 2: he knew he used bad language. He didn't choose him 217 00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:12,280 Speaker 2: because he was perfect. He chose him because he had 218 00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:16,720 Speaker 2: the blueprint. He knew he wasn't a finished product. Peter 219 00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:21,240 Speaker 2: ended up becoming one of the most influential, respected leaders. 220 00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:25,280 Speaker 2: What am I saying, Where you are now is not 221 00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:30,400 Speaker 2: necessarily important. It's where you're going. That mess did not 222 00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:35,839 Speaker 2: disqualify you. The mess means you're under construction. When you 223 00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:39,120 Speaker 2: see other people that look like they have it all together, 224 00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:43,920 Speaker 2: don't feel bad about yourself. Everyone is under construction in 225 00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:48,280 Speaker 2: some area. We all have some messy places. Here's the point. 226 00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:53,599 Speaker 2: Let God make you and mould you stay pliable. We 227 00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:56,679 Speaker 2: should be better this year than we were last year. 228 00:13:57,240 --> 00:14:01,520 Speaker 2: Don't let the mess become permanent. Thetion, the hot temper, 229 00:14:01,800 --> 00:14:06,400 Speaker 2: the negative attitude. That is not who you are. Keep growing, 230 00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:11,480 Speaker 2: keep resisting the temptation, keep saying no to carnal desires. 231 00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:15,600 Speaker 2: Every time you do the right thing, the next time 232 00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:19,320 Speaker 2: it gets a little bit easier. And there's nothing wrong 233 00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:23,480 Speaker 2: with being under construction, but there is something wrong with 234 00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:28,040 Speaker 2: not making any progress. Do your part, be willing to change. 235 00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:30,880 Speaker 2: God will do his part. He'll help you to come 236 00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:35,200 Speaker 2: up higher. Sometimes when you see a construction site, you 237 00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:39,120 Speaker 2: can't tell if they're tearing something down or building something up. 238 00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:42,760 Speaker 2: I was downtown one time. There was this big pile 239 00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:46,800 Speaker 2: of dirt several stories high. Over on the other side 240 00:14:46,840 --> 00:14:50,520 Speaker 2: there was this pile of debris, metal bricks. They had 241 00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:54,280 Speaker 2: torn down this small structure. They were digging the foundation 242 00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:58,440 Speaker 2: for a huge skyscraper. There was a hole, probably one 243 00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:02,280 Speaker 2: hundred feet in the ground. They were pouring these deep piers. 244 00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:06,680 Speaker 2: The taller the building, the deeper the foundation has to go. 245 00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:12,200 Speaker 2: What's interesting is you can't see the foundation. It's underground. 246 00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:15,520 Speaker 2: It's hidden, but you could argue that it's the most 247 00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:19,920 Speaker 2: important part. They could build a huge tower, but if 248 00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:23,320 Speaker 2: they didn't take time to put the proper foundation, it 249 00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:27,360 Speaker 2: wouldn't last. And there are times that we know we're 250 00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:31,520 Speaker 2: supposed to be going up. We have big dreams. God's 251 00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:34,800 Speaker 2: put promises in our hearts, but it feels the opposite, 252 00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:38,800 Speaker 2: like we're going down. We're not growing, not seeing good breaks. 253 00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:42,760 Speaker 2: What we may not realize is God is working on 254 00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:47,480 Speaker 2: our foundation, on our character, on how we treat people, 255 00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:52,320 Speaker 2: on how we respond to adversity. We don't like these times, 256 00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:57,360 Speaker 2: but they are extremely important. Like the building, the higher 257 00:15:57,440 --> 00:16:00,800 Speaker 2: you're going to go, the deeper you're found has to be. 258 00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:06,200 Speaker 2: Don't get discouraged when things are not happening on your timetable. 259 00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:11,120 Speaker 2: God knows what he's doing. Keep passing the test those 260 00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:14,640 Speaker 2: things that are not changing. But you're keeping a good attitude. 261 00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:19,080 Speaker 2: That's making you stronger. When you're good to people that 262 00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:22,760 Speaker 2: are not good to you, your foundation is going down deeper. 263 00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:27,800 Speaker 2: That's a sign you're getting prepared to go higher. But 264 00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:31,680 Speaker 2: God will not release what he has for you until 265 00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:34,720 Speaker 2: he knows you can handle it. It wouldn't be a 266 00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:37,680 Speaker 2: blessing if he gave it to you and you weren't ready. 267 00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:41,520 Speaker 2: If God has an eighty story building plan for you, 268 00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:45,800 Speaker 2: but he only designed a forty story foundation, it may 269 00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:49,320 Speaker 2: be easier, but that would be doing you a disservice. 270 00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:54,360 Speaker 2: Don't fight the foundation work. Don't get sour because things 271 00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:57,600 Speaker 2: aren't moving as fast as you would like. Something is 272 00:16:57,760 --> 00:17:02,240 Speaker 2: happening that you can't see. Your foundation is going down deeper. 273 00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:06,359 Speaker 2: You're being prepared to go to new levels. When our 274 00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:09,520 Speaker 2: house was being built, most of the walls were up, 275 00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:13,280 Speaker 2: but the carpenters they put in a couple of extra walls. 276 00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:16,680 Speaker 2: I was over there with the plans. I thought, these 277 00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:19,520 Speaker 2: walls are out of place. These walls are a mistake. 278 00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:22,240 Speaker 2: They're right in the middle of the room. I asked 279 00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:26,320 Speaker 2: the builder about it. He said, they're predicting how winds 280 00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:29,120 Speaker 2: the next couple of weeks. So I had them build 281 00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:33,119 Speaker 2: these temporary walls to help brace the main ones until 282 00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:37,159 Speaker 2: we could get the roof on. As the builder, because 283 00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:41,320 Speaker 2: he had more knowledge, more experience, he was doing things 284 00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:44,320 Speaker 2: that didn't make sense to me. All I could see 285 00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:46,560 Speaker 2: is this wall is out of place. It is not 286 00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:49,440 Speaker 2: supposed to be here. But he did it on purpose. 287 00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:52,920 Speaker 2: He knew it was out of place. He also knew 288 00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:57,360 Speaker 2: it was only temporary. In the same way, God, as 289 00:17:57,440 --> 00:18:02,080 Speaker 2: our builder, will allow things that we don't understand, looks 290 00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:05,800 Speaker 2: like a mistake, but God has a reason. He allowed 291 00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:09,160 Speaker 2: it for a purpose that we can't see. Then he's 292 00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:11,760 Speaker 2: going to remove it. Well, Joel, I'm working at this 293 00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:15,280 Speaker 2: job where I'm not using my gifts. I have so 294 00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:19,080 Speaker 2: much more in me. This seems like a mistake. God 295 00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:23,159 Speaker 2: knows that's not your final destination. But he wouldn't have 296 00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:25,639 Speaker 2: allowed it if he didn't have a purpose for it. 297 00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:29,840 Speaker 2: Do you think the God who is so precise, so 298 00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:34,040 Speaker 2: detailed that he causes the earth to rotate down to 299 00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:39,359 Speaker 2: the exact millisecond, is going to somehow falter on your plan. 300 00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:43,960 Speaker 2: Let something happen that wasn't designed a bad break to 301 00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:47,440 Speaker 2: keep you from your destiny. If God made a mistake 302 00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:50,760 Speaker 2: with you, you would be the first one. What am 303 00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:55,520 Speaker 2: I saying? Trust him while you're under construction, Trust him 304 00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:58,840 Speaker 2: in the messy places, Trust him when you're sure it's 305 00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:03,720 Speaker 2: a mistake. Sometimes God has to take us backwards before 306 00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:06,600 Speaker 2: he can take us forward. He has to dig down 307 00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:09,600 Speaker 2: deep before we can go up highre He has to 308 00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:13,960 Speaker 2: prune you before you can bloom. If you'll stay in faith, 309 00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:16,640 Speaker 2: you're going to see how it's all going to work 310 00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:21,360 Speaker 2: for your good God called Moses to deliver the Israelites. 311 00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:24,440 Speaker 2: That was the plan laid out for his life, But 312 00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:27,320 Speaker 2: there were a dozen things that looked like a mistake. 313 00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:31,200 Speaker 2: When Moses was born, the king put out a decree 314 00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:35,280 Speaker 2: that all the Hebrew male babies two years of agent 315 00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:39,040 Speaker 2: under would be killed. It looked like God chose the 316 00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:42,280 Speaker 2: wrong time for him to be born. Why didn't God 317 00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:45,680 Speaker 2: wait till the decree was over. God likes to do 318 00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:50,159 Speaker 2: things that defied the odds, things that seem impossible. That 319 00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:54,320 Speaker 2: way he gets all the credit. Moses' mother hit him 320 00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:57,160 Speaker 2: in a basket and sent him down the Nile River. 321 00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:02,360 Speaker 2: There were snakes, alligators. He could have tipped over drowned. 322 00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:06,639 Speaker 2: But what God has ordained for your life, what He 323 00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:11,119 Speaker 2: has planned before the foundation of time, what's on your blueprint, 324 00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:15,520 Speaker 2: can't be stopped by decrees, by snakes, by people, by 325 00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:20,280 Speaker 2: any kind of opposition. Just so happened. Thero's daughter was 326 00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:23,199 Speaker 2: at the river taken a bath. She heard the cries 327 00:20:23,320 --> 00:20:26,680 Speaker 2: coming from the basket. When she saw baby Moses, it 328 00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:29,920 Speaker 2: was love at first sight. She took him in and 329 00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:33,880 Speaker 2: raised him in the palace. As he grew up, Moses 330 00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:37,560 Speaker 2: knew he was supposed to deliver the Israelites. One day 331 00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:43,320 Speaker 2: he saw an Egyptian supervisor mistreating a Hebrew slave. He 332 00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:46,120 Speaker 2: didn't think anyone was watching, so he killed the man. 333 00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:50,200 Speaker 2: Someone saw him. He had to flee for his life. 334 00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:54,760 Speaker 2: Moses spent forty years in hiding on the backside of 335 00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:58,880 Speaker 2: the desert. Looked like he missed his destiny. I'm sure 336 00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:02,160 Speaker 2: he felt like a failure. But when he was eighty 337 00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:05,760 Speaker 2: years old, God appeared to him through the burning bush, 338 00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:09,879 Speaker 2: said all right, Moses, now it's time to deliver the Israelites. 339 00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:14,200 Speaker 2: You can't find anyone in the scripture that did something 340 00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:19,440 Speaker 2: significant that didn't have messy places. Times they didn't understand, 341 00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:24,240 Speaker 2: times it wasn't fair. Times they felt disqualified. But life 342 00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:28,160 Speaker 2: with Moses, when it all came together, it made sense. 343 00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:33,560 Speaker 2: They went from construction to completion. Here's the key. You 344 00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:39,639 Speaker 2: cannot properly judge the construction process without the plans. You 345 00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:42,879 Speaker 2: may think I'm done, Joel, I'm finished. I made too 346 00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:46,760 Speaker 2: many mistakes. I missed my destiny. If you had the plans, 347 00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:49,680 Speaker 2: and that's what they said, I would agree with you. 348 00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:53,920 Speaker 2: But the problem is we don't have the plans. God 349 00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:58,240 Speaker 2: said in Jeremiah the plans I have for you are 350 00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:01,400 Speaker 2: for good and not harm, to give you a future 351 00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:05,200 Speaker 2: and to hope. What God has planned for you does 352 00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:10,639 Speaker 2: not end in defeat, in failure, in mediocrity, in addictions, 353 00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:16,200 Speaker 2: in dysfunction. Your story ends in victory, Paul said in Corinthians, 354 00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:19,720 Speaker 2: Thanks be to God, who always causes us to triumph. 355 00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:24,359 Speaker 2: I've heard it said God always ends in all is well. 356 00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:27,679 Speaker 2: If all is not well, then it's not the end. 357 00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:31,679 Speaker 2: If there are things holding you back, things out of place, 358 00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:37,119 Speaker 2: things messy, that means you're under construction. Don't get discouraged. 359 00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:41,080 Speaker 2: God is still working. My father was a great pastor, 360 00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:44,720 Speaker 2: a man loved and respected by so many. If you 361 00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:47,280 Speaker 2: saw him toward the end of his life with the 362 00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:52,680 Speaker 2: large church, successful, happily married children that loved him, you 363 00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:55,320 Speaker 2: might think that it was easy in things just fell 364 00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:59,119 Speaker 2: into place. But every person has to go through the 365 00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:04,680 Speaker 2: construction process. When you see someone blessed fulfilling their purpose, 366 00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:09,680 Speaker 2: they didn't get there without messy places, things they didn't understand, 367 00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:14,000 Speaker 2: people that tried to stop them. My father was born 368 00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:18,600 Speaker 2: in a messy situation. His family was very poor. When 369 00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:21,399 Speaker 2: he gave his life to Christ at the age of seventeen, 370 00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:25,879 Speaker 2: he left the farm with no money, no education. He 371 00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:30,119 Speaker 2: hitchhiked and went out and started ministring. He was married 372 00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:33,119 Speaker 2: at an early age, but it didn't work out. He 373 00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:36,600 Speaker 2: had to resign from his church. Leaders told him that 374 00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:40,920 Speaker 2: he would never pasture again, a messy situation. He was 375 00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:45,000 Speaker 2: so discouraged he left the ministry and started selling insurance. 376 00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:48,320 Speaker 2: He didn't think he'd ever have a family until he 377 00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:51,720 Speaker 2: met my mother. They fell in love, got married, had 378 00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:56,760 Speaker 2: five children. He started pastoring again. His church was growing, 379 00:23:57,440 --> 00:24:00,879 Speaker 2: had over a thousand members back then that was unheard of. 380 00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:04,879 Speaker 2: But some of the people turned against my father. They 381 00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:08,199 Speaker 2: didn't like his message of faith and victory. He had 382 00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:12,879 Speaker 2: to resign from that church, another messy situation. He didn't 383 00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:17,000 Speaker 2: understand it. He was being his best, yet the door closed. 384 00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:20,960 Speaker 2: He and my mother went out and started Lakewood in 385 00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:25,200 Speaker 2: an abandoned feed store. He was told it would never last, 386 00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:28,400 Speaker 2: nobody's going to come. You're wasting your time. But here 387 00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:32,040 Speaker 2: we are today, fifty nine years later, still going stall. 388 00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:37,920 Speaker 2: Here's my point. All those messy situations my father went through, 389 00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:42,200 Speaker 2: they were on God's plan. He didn't understand why people 390 00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:45,520 Speaker 2: turned against him if they had not opposed him, he 391 00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:49,800 Speaker 2: would have never started Lakewood like my father. You may 392 00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:52,720 Speaker 2: be in a messy situation. People have come against you, 393 00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:55,800 Speaker 2: You've made mistakes, you've had bad breaks. God is saying 394 00:24:56,240 --> 00:24:58,960 Speaker 2: it's not over. It's all a part of my plan. 395 00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:03,919 Speaker 2: You're under construction. We're not going to understand everything that happens. 396 00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:08,280 Speaker 2: God's ways are not our ways. Here's the promise God 397 00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:12,080 Speaker 2: gives us. If you'll stay in faith and keep honoring him, 398 00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:15,399 Speaker 2: then what he's started in your life, He's going to 399 00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:19,080 Speaker 2: bring to completion. What he has planned for you will 400 00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:22,080 Speaker 2: come to pass. You didn't miss it because you had 401 00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:26,320 Speaker 2: a rough childhood. Somebody walked out, broke your heart. People 402 00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:28,960 Speaker 2: tried to stop you from your dream. God has the 403 00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:32,639 Speaker 2: final save. Tune out all those voices telling you that 404 00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:36,399 Speaker 2: you blew it. You had your chance. God wouldn't have 405 00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:39,000 Speaker 2: allowed it if it was going to keep you from 406 00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:42,760 Speaker 2: your destiny. It's all a part of the process. Will 407 00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:46,760 Speaker 2: you trust him when you're under construction? Will you trust 408 00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:49,960 Speaker 2: him in the messy places? Will you trust him when 409 00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:53,720 Speaker 2: it doesn't make sense? Job in the scripture went through 410 00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:57,520 Speaker 2: all kinds of bad breaks. He lost his health, his business, 411 00:25:57,760 --> 00:26:02,960 Speaker 2: his family, everything fell upon For a while he was negative, complain, 412 00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:06,000 Speaker 2: but then he came back to a place of peace. 413 00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:10,280 Speaker 2: Nothing had turned around. It was still messy. But he 414 00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:14,480 Speaker 2: said in Job chapter forty two, God, I know you 415 00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:18,359 Speaker 2: can do anything and no one can stop your plan. 416 00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:24,120 Speaker 2: This was after forty two chapters of defeat negativity when 417 00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:29,240 Speaker 2: he said this. Eight verses later, it says God restored 418 00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:32,240 Speaker 2: Job and brought him out with twice what he had 419 00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:37,159 Speaker 2: before when he changed his attitude. Maybe that was the 420 00:26:37,320 --> 00:26:40,920 Speaker 2: catalyst for God to turn it around. I wonder if 421 00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:44,600 Speaker 2: we would do like Job instead of complaining about the mess, 422 00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:47,880 Speaker 2: being discouraged by what didn't work out. What if we'd 423 00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:51,600 Speaker 2: start saying, Father, I want to thank you that nothing 424 00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:54,080 Speaker 2: can stop your plan for my life. Thank you that 425 00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:56,640 Speaker 2: what you have ordained for me is on the way. 426 00:26:57,600 --> 00:27:00,320 Speaker 2: When we were building our house, at one point all 427 00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:03,120 Speaker 2: the switches were in, the floors were down, the cabinets 428 00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:07,359 Speaker 2: were done. The only problem was the power wasn't connected. 429 00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:10,280 Speaker 2: We were waiting for a permit a few other things. 430 00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:13,320 Speaker 2: Every night Victoria and I would go over to check 431 00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:15,960 Speaker 2: to see if it was on. For over a month 432 00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:20,000 Speaker 2: we were ready with no power. Finally, one evening we 433 00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:24,240 Speaker 2: went over and the power was connected. Everything was different. 434 00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:29,000 Speaker 2: We had lights, air conditioning, the appliances worked with that 435 00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:33,760 Speaker 2: one connection. It was a whole new world. I believe 436 00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:37,040 Speaker 2: you're about to come in to one of these connections. 437 00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:40,560 Speaker 2: You've been on the verge of it. You've been honoring God. 438 00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:44,440 Speaker 2: You're about to see God flip the switch. Suddenly the 439 00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:48,119 Speaker 2: door opens, Suddenly, the healing comes, Suddenly the right person 440 00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:51,560 Speaker 2: shows up. I believe and declare you're about to go 441 00:27:51,720 --> 00:27:55,879 Speaker 2: from construction to completion. Those things that are hindering you. 442 00:27:56,400 --> 00:27:59,560 Speaker 2: Like Joe, God's going to bring you out better despite 443 00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:03,480 Speaker 2: mist you've made. Like Moses, You're still going to fulfill 444 00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:07,240 Speaker 2: your destiny and become everything God's created you to be. 445 00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:10,840 Speaker 2: In Jesus's name, if you receive it, can you say 446 00:28:10,920 --> 00:28:14,840 Speaker 2: him in today? I'd like to give you an opportunity 447 00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:17,879 Speaker 2: to make Jesus the lord of your life. Would you 448 00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:22,560 Speaker 2: pray with me? Just say Lord, Jesus, I'll repent of 449 00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:27,320 Speaker 2: my sins. Come into my heart. I make you my 450 00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:31,720 Speaker 2: Lord and savior.
