Thanks so much for tuning in today, 11 00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:29,159 Speaker 1: and thank you again for coming out. I like to 12 00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:31,400 Speaker 1: start with something funny, and I heard about these two 13 00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:35,559 Speaker 1: little boys, ages four and six. They were brothers. They 14 00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:38,560 Speaker 1: were spending the night at their grandmother's house. She told 15 00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:40,839 Speaker 1: them to make sure they said their prayers before they 16 00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:43,400 Speaker 1: went to bed. They went in the bedroom, God on 17 00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:47,320 Speaker 1: their knees. The youngest boy started praying at the top 18 00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:50,720 Speaker 1: of his lungs. God, I pray for a new bicycle. 19 00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:53,400 Speaker 1: I pray for a new PlayStation. I pray for a 20 00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:56,639 Speaker 1: new DVD. Brother punched him, said, why are you screaming? 21 00:00:56,680 --> 00:00:59,680 Speaker 1: God isn't death? He said, I know that, but grandmother 22 00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:04,240 Speaker 1: is hold up your Bible. Say it like you mean it. 23 00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:07,200 Speaker 1: This is my Bible. I am what it says I am. 24 00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:10,000 Speaker 1: I have what it says I have. I can do 25 00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:12,640 Speaker 1: what it says I can do. Today I will be 26 00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:16,520 Speaker 1: taught the word of God. I boldly confess. My mind 27 00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:19,720 Speaker 1: is alert, my heart is receptive. I will never be 28 00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:24,600 Speaker 1: the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you. I want 29 00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:27,920 Speaker 1: to talk to you today about stored up blessings. When 30 00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:30,720 Speaker 1: God laid out the plan for your life, he put 31 00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:34,760 Speaker 1: in it everything you need to fulfill your destiny. He's 32 00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:39,640 Speaker 1: already lined up the right people, the right breaks favor increase. 33 00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:44,760 Speaker 1: Psalm thirty one says God has great blessings stored up 34 00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:48,960 Speaker 1: for those that honor him. Promotion is stored up for you, 35 00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:53,080 Speaker 1: single people. There's a husband, a wife stored up for you. 36 00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:58,160 Speaker 1: That baby you've been dreaming about is stored up, a contract, 37 00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:02,400 Speaker 1: a business healing. It already has your name on it. 38 00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:06,040 Speaker 1: It belongs to you. If you'll keep honoring God at 39 00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:09,240 Speaker 1: the right time, you'll come in to a stored up blessing. 40 00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:12,639 Speaker 1: You won't have to go after it. It will find 41 00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:16,440 Speaker 1: you what God has destined for You can't go to 42 00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:19,919 Speaker 1: anyone else. That's why you don't have to be frustrated 43 00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:23,640 Speaker 1: when you see other people being blessed. A friend moves 44 00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:26,640 Speaker 1: into a new house. You've been believing for ten years 45 00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:29,600 Speaker 1: for a better place to live. You come every Sunday, 46 00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:33,760 Speaker 1: give serve. They're just the opposite, Joel, I don't understand it. 47 00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:36,239 Speaker 1: I wish I had that house. No, if you had, 48 00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:39,000 Speaker 1: it wouldn't be a blessing. It would be a burden. 49 00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:43,040 Speaker 1: It wasn't destined for you. What God has stored up 50 00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:46,480 Speaker 1: for you cannot go to anyone else. There's a house 51 00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:48,840 Speaker 1: with your name on it, a spouse with your name 52 00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:51,760 Speaker 1: on it, healing with your name on it. When the 53 00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:55,520 Speaker 1: prophet Samuel came to Jesse's house to anoint one of 54 00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:58,640 Speaker 1: his sons as the next king, he poured oil on 55 00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:02,680 Speaker 1: each of the seven sons, but the oil would not flow, 56 00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:07,200 Speaker 1: even though he turned it upside down. The oil defied gravity. 57 00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:11,480 Speaker 1: Why because the oil had been stored up for David. 58 00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:15,120 Speaker 1: God had already destined him to be the next king. 59 00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:18,600 Speaker 1: No matter how hard Samuel tried to get the oil out, 60 00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:21,359 Speaker 1: hitting the bottom of the bottle, he couldn't do it. 61 00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:24,720 Speaker 1: But when he came to David. It was like somebody 62 00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:29,400 Speaker 1: opened the floodgates. The oil freely flowed. The oil that 63 00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:32,160 Speaker 1: God has for you is not going to flow to 64 00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:36,160 Speaker 1: anyone else. Don't be jealous because a friend got a promotion. 65 00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:40,400 Speaker 1: Don't be frustrated because your business partner saw a dream 66 00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:44,320 Speaker 1: come to pass. They're not getting your oil. If you 67 00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:47,800 Speaker 1: got what they have, it wouldn't help you, It would 68 00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:51,520 Speaker 1: hinder you. What God has stored up for you will 69 00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:55,680 Speaker 1: be a perfect fit for your life. When you understand this, 70 00:03:56,280 --> 00:04:00,080 Speaker 1: you'll celebrate the success of others. You'll be happy for 71 00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:02,920 Speaker 1: their promotion, happy for their new house, happy for their 72 00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:07,240 Speaker 1: beautiful baby, knowing that what God did for them is 73 00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:09,640 Speaker 1: not going to stop what God's going to do for you. 74 00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:14,240 Speaker 1: Sometimes we act like God has a limited supply of favor. 75 00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:18,520 Speaker 1: If my coworker gets promoted, that may keep God from 76 00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:22,520 Speaker 1: promoting me. It's a long perspective. God never runs out 77 00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:27,880 Speaker 1: of favor. He has unlimited resources. Somebody else being blessed 78 00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:31,400 Speaker 1: is not going to stop God from blessing you. When 79 00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:35,560 Speaker 1: you celebrate others, you're passing the test. When you're happy 80 00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:39,000 Speaker 1: for their success, God can release what He has stored 81 00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:42,719 Speaker 1: up for you. Maybe you're single and you've been believing 82 00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:44,920 Speaker 1: for a long long time to meet the right person. 83 00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:48,640 Speaker 1: Your best friend just met the man of her dreams. 84 00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:53,919 Speaker 1: He's tall, dark, handsome, romantic. They're madly in love planning 85 00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:56,960 Speaker 1: their wedding. She asked you to be the maid of honor. 86 00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:00,280 Speaker 1: You say yes, I'd be thrilled to do it. Down, 87 00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:03,560 Speaker 1: you're thinking, I am so depressed. God, why didn't I 88 00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:06,320 Speaker 1: meet him first? I'm more attractive than she is. No, 89 00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:11,520 Speaker 1: be happy for her. She's not taking your blessing. What 90 00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:15,240 Speaker 1: has your name on it cannot go to anyone else. 91 00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:20,240 Speaker 1: Your time is coming. There is a husband stored up 92 00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:23,760 Speaker 1: for you that will be a perfect fit, better than 93 00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:26,800 Speaker 1: you could imagine. They're headed your way. Could happen today, 94 00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:29,800 Speaker 1: could happen this week. You could see a stored up 95 00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:34,240 Speaker 1: blessing released in your life. This takes all the pressure off. 96 00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:37,640 Speaker 1: You don't have to live frustrated, wondering if a dream's 97 00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:40,800 Speaker 1: going to come to pass, worried that a problem won't 98 00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:44,280 Speaker 1: work out, jealous. Because a friend God of promotion, you 99 00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:47,440 Speaker 1: can stay in peace knowing that what has your name 100 00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:50,120 Speaker 1: on it is not going to go to any other person. 101 00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:52,719 Speaker 1: That God's going to get you to where you're supposed 102 00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:56,960 Speaker 1: to be. Sometimes it's taking a long time. People are 103 00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:01,800 Speaker 1: passing us up. We've missed opportunities, made some mistakes. Those 104 00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:05,120 Speaker 1: voices start whispering, it's never going to happen. You're never 105 00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:08,320 Speaker 1: going to get well. Never break the addiction, never meet 106 00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:11,840 Speaker 1: the right person. It's easy to get discouraged, give up 107 00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:15,680 Speaker 1: on what we're believing. For This is the way Peter felt. 108 00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:18,839 Speaker 1: In the scripture. He was out in his boat with 109 00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:23,000 Speaker 1: some of the other disciples fishing. His good friend Jesus 110 00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:26,799 Speaker 1: had just been crucified. When Jesus needed him the most, 111 00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:30,800 Speaker 1: Peter denied that he knew him. Peter not only felt 112 00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:34,479 Speaker 1: guilty about it, but he was confused. This man he 113 00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:37,719 Speaker 1: believed to be the Messiah was no longer with them. 114 00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:40,240 Speaker 1: He said he would rise from the dead, but they 115 00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:43,400 Speaker 1: didn't see any sign of it. So Peter went back 116 00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:48,240 Speaker 1: to his previous profession. He was an experienced fisherman. He'd 117 00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:50,920 Speaker 1: done it for many years. He'd been out in his 118 00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:55,559 Speaker 1: boat all night fishing and caught nothing. He'd worked hard, 119 00:06:56,400 --> 00:07:00,520 Speaker 1: used his best efforts, put on the right bait through 120 00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:03,040 Speaker 1: the nets where he thought the fish would be. Again 121 00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:08,120 Speaker 1: and again hour after hour, no success. Early the next morning, 122 00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:12,480 Speaker 1: this man shouted from the shore boys, have you caught 123 00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:16,760 Speaker 1: any fish? They didn't recognize it was Jesus. Peter said, no, 124 00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:20,840 Speaker 1: we haven't caught anything. Jesus said, then throw your nets 125 00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:23,360 Speaker 1: on the right side of the boat and watch what 126 00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:26,680 Speaker 1: will happen. I'm sure they thought, who does this guy 127 00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:30,400 Speaker 1: think he is telling us how to fish. We're professionals, 128 00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:34,360 Speaker 1: we're tired, we're hot, we're aggravated, we're frustrated. There are 129 00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:37,560 Speaker 1: no fish out here. They almost talked themselves out of it, 130 00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:41,920 Speaker 1: but at the last moment Peter changed his mind. He thought, 131 00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:44,560 Speaker 1: what do we have to lose? What's it gonna hurt 132 00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:47,240 Speaker 1: for us to throw out our nets one more time. 133 00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:50,600 Speaker 1: They threw the nets on the right side of the boat, 134 00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:53,240 Speaker 1: and they caught so many fish that they could not 135 00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:57,160 Speaker 1: haul it in. Right then they recognized that it was Jesus. 136 00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:02,280 Speaker 1: Here's my point. God knows where your fish are. Just 137 00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:05,520 Speaker 1: because you haven't seen them yet doesn't mean that you've 138 00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:09,640 Speaker 1: missed them. Like Peter, you may have worked hard, given 139 00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:13,960 Speaker 1: it your best effort, use your expertise, your skills, exhausted 140 00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:18,280 Speaker 1: your resources, your connections, but you came up empty. Now 141 00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:20,840 Speaker 1: you don't think it's ever going to happen, Joel, I'll 142 00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:23,400 Speaker 1: never get well, I'll never meet the right person. I'll 143 00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:27,640 Speaker 1: never accomplish this dream. I've tried everything. I've worked two jobs, 144 00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:31,560 Speaker 1: I've gone through rehab. I put my profile on forty 145 00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:36,600 Speaker 1: seven dating websites. Only two people were interested in. They 146 00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:41,160 Speaker 1: were both over eighty. You're tired, you're frustrated. You could 147 00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:44,920 Speaker 1: easily give up. Here's the good news. God knows where 148 00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:48,240 Speaker 1: your fish are, he knows where your husband is. He 149 00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:51,720 Speaker 1: knows where your healing is, where your victory is, where 150 00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:55,280 Speaker 1: that new house is. It may not have happened yet, 151 00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:58,720 Speaker 1: but that doesn't mean it's not going to happen. You 152 00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:03,960 Speaker 1: always face the greatest opposition, the greatest adversity, the greatest discouragement, 153 00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:08,400 Speaker 1: right before the breakthrough, right before the healing, right before 154 00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:11,360 Speaker 1: you meet the person of your dreams. God is saying 155 00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:16,360 Speaker 1: to you, throw out your nets one more time. That disappointment, 156 00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:20,880 Speaker 1: the loss, the lack, was only a test. Your fish 157 00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:23,720 Speaker 1: are still out there. What has your name on it? 158 00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:27,000 Speaker 1: If you'll throw out your nets again, God will cause 159 00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:30,880 Speaker 1: those stored up blessings to find you. The fish may 160 00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:33,480 Speaker 1: not have been there last night, may not have worked 161 00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:37,839 Speaker 1: last time. That's okay. God controls the fish. He knows 162 00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:40,760 Speaker 1: how to get them into your net. Start believing again, 163 00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:45,280 Speaker 1: get your fire back, Stir your faith up. What God 164 00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:48,560 Speaker 1: started in your life. He's going to finish what he 165 00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:51,840 Speaker 1: promised you he will bring to pass. You may have 166 00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:55,000 Speaker 1: been struggling trying to find the fish, working hard, giving 167 00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:58,640 Speaker 1: it your best efforts, no success. This is a new day. 168 00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:02,520 Speaker 1: The fish and to find you. The scripture talks about 169 00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:05,440 Speaker 1: how when you honor God, his blessings will chase you 170 00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:09,600 Speaker 1: down and overtake you. When you believe that your best 171 00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:12,160 Speaker 1: days are still in front of you, you believe that 172 00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:14,360 Speaker 1: God will take you where you could not go on 173 00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:17,160 Speaker 1: your own. You will come to a point where the 174 00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:21,000 Speaker 1: fish will start tracking you down. God will command his 175 00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:24,480 Speaker 1: blessings to overtake you. I've seen this again and again 176 00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:27,480 Speaker 1: in my own life. What I couldn't make happen in 177 00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:31,440 Speaker 1: my own talent, my own ability, suddenly God causes it 178 00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:35,240 Speaker 1: to happen. The fish found me at twenty three years 179 00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:38,760 Speaker 1: of age. I walked into a jewelry store to buy 180 00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:43,000 Speaker 1: battery for my watch, and outwalked Victoria to wait on me. 181 00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:46,760 Speaker 1: The most beautiful girl i'd ever seen, you know what, 182 00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:50,760 Speaker 1: she was a fish. God caused her to come into 183 00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:55,000 Speaker 1: my net, and I never let her out. That's a 184 00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:59,920 Speaker 1: whole different message there. When my dad was the pastor, 185 00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:03,000 Speaker 1: I worked behind the scenes. We used to do these 186 00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:07,760 Speaker 1: big productions. I love to do concerts, television specials. That's 187 00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:11,199 Speaker 1: what I loved doing. But later in my father's life, 188 00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:13,240 Speaker 1: he didn't want to do any more of that. I 189 00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:17,040 Speaker 1: was kind of disappointed. I was young, I had big dreams, 190 00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:19,760 Speaker 1: big goals. I didn't want to do less. I wanted 191 00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:22,880 Speaker 1: to do more. I was working hard, I was being faithful, 192 00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:26,160 Speaker 1: but it seemed like I had less and less opportunity. 193 00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:30,400 Speaker 1: My nets were empty. I told Victoria, this is my 194 00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:33,520 Speaker 1: father's vision. I know I'm supposed to stay here and 195 00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:36,080 Speaker 1: honor him, and even though I know I have more 196 00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:38,520 Speaker 1: in me, I will be faithful. I'm going to keep 197 00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:41,959 Speaker 1: serving him the best that I can. About six months later, 198 00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:44,600 Speaker 1: I was walking through the lobby before a church service. 199 00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:48,480 Speaker 1: A man stopped me and said that his cousin had 200 00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:53,360 Speaker 1: a construction permit for the last full power commercial television 201 00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:57,400 Speaker 1: station in Houston. Was extremely valuable. They wanted us to 202 00:11:57,440 --> 00:12:00,760 Speaker 1: be a part. We took that construction permit, put the 203 00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:04,360 Speaker 1: station on the air, programmed it, and later sold it 204 00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:08,160 Speaker 1: for a significant profit. And those funds were instrumental in 205 00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:12,160 Speaker 1: us remodeling this place. Here's my point. When I thought 206 00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:16,640 Speaker 1: I was done, no more opportunity, God brought me an 207 00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:20,640 Speaker 1: opportunity of a lifetime. I didn't have to go after it. 208 00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:25,160 Speaker 1: That fish found me. Friends, there are some fish, big 209 00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:27,960 Speaker 1: fish that have your name on them. It's just a 210 00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:30,680 Speaker 1: matter of time before they show up in your neck. 211 00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:36,160 Speaker 1: You need to get ready. I'm not talking about minnos, 212 00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:40,160 Speaker 1: little goldfish, something you can fit in a small aquarium. 213 00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:43,800 Speaker 1: I'm talking about some big fish, some big breaks, some 214 00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:48,160 Speaker 1: big opportunities. Peter caught so many fish that he could 215 00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:53,120 Speaker 1: not haul them all in. Notice God is an overflow god. 216 00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:55,760 Speaker 1: What he has stored up for you is going to 217 00:12:55,840 --> 00:12:58,520 Speaker 1: be bigger than you can imagine. You know what this 218 00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:02,760 Speaker 1: facility is A fish that found our net. It's a well, 219 00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:06,800 Speaker 1: a big fish. We weren't even looking for it. We 220 00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:09,640 Speaker 1: were trying to build a sanctuary on the other part 221 00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:13,120 Speaker 1: of town, but two deals fell through. I was working hard, 222 00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:17,640 Speaker 1: using my efforts, my connections, my skills, but it seemed 223 00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:20,319 Speaker 1: like nothing was happening. I was throwing out my nets, 224 00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:23,679 Speaker 1: but they kept coming back empty, again and again. One 225 00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:26,440 Speaker 1: day an old friend called and said this place was 226 00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:30,360 Speaker 1: becoming available. Things begin to fall into place. It was 227 00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:34,360 Speaker 1: the hand of God. And sometimes the reason your net 228 00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:38,640 Speaker 1: is empty is because God has something better. Like Peter, 229 00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:42,640 Speaker 1: you fished all night, you didn't catch anything. Don't get discouraged. 230 00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:47,120 Speaker 1: God controls the fish. If you'll keep honoring him, stay 231 00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:50,360 Speaker 1: in faith, he'll bring the right fish to you. And 232 00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:53,640 Speaker 1: when you face a disappointment, a door closes. Like it 233 00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:56,160 Speaker 1: did for us twice, we didn't think there were any 234 00:13:56,200 --> 00:14:01,000 Speaker 1: more options. Have a new perspective. Maybe that door closed 235 00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:04,960 Speaker 1: because God has something better come in your way. Maybe 236 00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:08,560 Speaker 1: you were hoping to catch a normal fish, an average 237 00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:12,440 Speaker 1: sized fish. But God has a well coming. He's got 238 00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:15,920 Speaker 1: a compact center, he's got somebody better, a bigger house. 239 00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:19,000 Speaker 1: Or like with me, He's going to launch you into 240 00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:22,360 Speaker 1: a new field with opportunity that you've never dreamed of. 241 00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:26,960 Speaker 1: There are some big fish that have your name on them. Now. 242 00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:30,120 Speaker 1: Nothing may have been biting lately. You're throwing out your 243 00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:34,200 Speaker 1: nets using the right bait, but you keep coming up empty. 244 00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:36,560 Speaker 1: Every voice will tell you it's never going to happen. 245 00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:40,560 Speaker 1: You're wasting your time. Forget about it. No, don't believe 246 00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:43,840 Speaker 1: those lies. The fish you're coming, the promotion is coming, 247 00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:47,840 Speaker 1: the spouse, the healing, It's headed your way. It may 248 00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:51,600 Speaker 1: seem unlikely. You tried it before, gave it your best, 249 00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:55,280 Speaker 1: it didn't work out. That delay doesn't mean that you 250 00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:59,120 Speaker 1: missed your fish. That disappointment doesn't mean it's not going 251 00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:02,680 Speaker 1: to happen. At the right time. God's going to bring 252 00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:06,400 Speaker 1: the fish into your net. Now do your part. Keep 253 00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:09,640 Speaker 1: throwing out your nets, keep believing. It's not going to 254 00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:13,280 Speaker 1: happen by your might, your power, your talent, your strength 255 00:15:13,680 --> 00:15:17,160 Speaker 1: is going to happen by the hand of God. Well, 256 00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:19,160 Speaker 1: you may have come to the end of your ability. 257 00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:23,160 Speaker 1: You've done everything you can. Don't worry. You're not alone. 258 00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:26,640 Speaker 1: You have the most powerful force in the universe on 259 00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:30,560 Speaker 1: your side, the God who controls the fish, the God 260 00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:34,240 Speaker 1: who spoke worlds into existence. He knows how to get 261 00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:37,760 Speaker 1: the fish into your net. Every morning, Lord, I want 262 00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:40,360 Speaker 1: to thank you that you're causing the right fish to 263 00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:43,680 Speaker 1: find me. Thank you that those stored up blessings are 264 00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:46,640 Speaker 1: going to be released in my life. If you'll stay 265 00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:49,880 Speaker 1: in faith and keep throwing out your nets like Peter, 266 00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:52,400 Speaker 1: God will do more than you can ask or thing. 267 00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:55,640 Speaker 1: One of our worship leaders a friend of mine, Dadra. 268 00:15:56,040 --> 00:15:59,960 Speaker 1: She has an incredible voice, extremely talented. She's been singing 269 00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:02,720 Speaker 1: since she was a little girl. But a few years 270 00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:06,240 Speaker 1: back she started feeling very tired, not having any energy. 271 00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:09,280 Speaker 1: The doctor thought is because she just had a baby, 272 00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:12,880 Speaker 1: didn't think much about it. What he didn't realize was 273 00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:17,640 Speaker 1: her thyroid gland had begun to severely malfunction. It had 274 00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:21,000 Speaker 1: grown from one inch in diameter to the size of 275 00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:24,960 Speaker 1: two male fists. Looked like she had a big grapefruit 276 00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:27,800 Speaker 1: on the side of her neck. The specialist told her 277 00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:31,320 Speaker 1: she was in danger, not only a bit blocking her 278 00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:35,240 Speaker 1: windpipe where she couldn't breathe, but it was very close 279 00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:39,160 Speaker 1: to her vocal chords. If they operated on it, most 280 00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:43,120 Speaker 1: likely she would never be able to sing again, and 281 00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:45,960 Speaker 1: if she could somehow sing, she would never have her 282 00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:49,840 Speaker 1: full range. She went to a surgeon here in town. 283 00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:53,040 Speaker 1: When he found out she was a singer, he said, 284 00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:56,240 Speaker 1: I can't touch this. It's too risky. You could easily 285 00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:59,680 Speaker 1: lose your voice. She asked if he knew anyone that 286 00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:03,320 Speaker 1: could help her. He said, I don't know anybody that's 287 00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:05,879 Speaker 1: going to take on this case. It's too big a chance. 288 00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:10,800 Speaker 1: She left there weeping. So discouraged, she got home and 289 00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:14,840 Speaker 1: started searching on the internet for doctors that specialized in 290 00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:18,560 Speaker 1: this field, all across the nation. Hundreds and hundreds of 291 00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:21,960 Speaker 1: names came up. As she was passing them by this 292 00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:26,400 Speaker 1: one name jumped out at her. A surgeon in Nashville. 293 00:17:26,600 --> 00:17:30,520 Speaker 1: He had invented a procedure to help reverse vocal cord 294 00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:34,159 Speaker 1: paralysis in some patience. She went to see him. He 295 00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:39,240 Speaker 1: was very caring, very loving. After examining her, he confirmed 296 00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:43,119 Speaker 1: what the first surgeon said that it was extremely risky. 297 00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:45,720 Speaker 1: She asked if he'd be willing to try it. He said, 298 00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:49,600 Speaker 1: of course I will. He flew in another top surgeon. 299 00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:55,040 Speaker 1: Together they performed this very complicated procedure, doing their best 300 00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:59,199 Speaker 1: not to harm her vocal cords. Two months after the 301 00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:03,640 Speaker 1: removed of the big goiter, she was able to sing softly. 302 00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:08,120 Speaker 1: Six months later she was able to sing at full power, 303 00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:11,960 Speaker 1: not only as high as she could before the surgery, 304 00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:16,680 Speaker 1: but she could sing even lower. It didn't decrease her range, 305 00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:21,440 Speaker 1: it increased her range. She found out later the reason 306 00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:25,160 Speaker 1: this doctor had so much experience is because he takes 307 00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:29,120 Speaker 1: missions trips every year to Africa to operate on less 308 00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:33,040 Speaker 1: fortunate people. That's where he's seen all these large goiters, 309 00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:36,359 Speaker 1: gained so much experience to where now he's a leader 310 00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:39,760 Speaker 1: in this field. Out of the thousands of names that 311 00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:42,560 Speaker 1: came up on the Internet that day, it just so 312 00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:47,520 Speaker 1: happened Dandro was drawn to his name. That wasn't a coincidence. 313 00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:50,840 Speaker 1: It was the hand of God bringing the right fish 314 00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:56,320 Speaker 1: into her net. Friends, God knows how to connect you 315 00:18:56,600 --> 00:18:59,840 Speaker 1: to the right people. You keep throwing out your nets, 316 00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:02,800 Speaker 1: and God will keep bringing the right fish. He has 317 00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:07,320 Speaker 1: blessings stored up for you. It's interesting when Peter was 318 00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:10,200 Speaker 1: in his boat that day, he had just made one 319 00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:13,080 Speaker 1: of the biggest mistakes of his life. He had just 320 00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:16,680 Speaker 1: denied that he knew Jesus. You would think God would say, 321 00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:20,120 Speaker 1: too bad, Peter, fish all you want. You're not gonna 322 00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:23,040 Speaker 1: catch anything. You're not gonna have my blessing. You had 323 00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:26,040 Speaker 1: your chance, but you blew it. Just because you make 324 00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:30,400 Speaker 1: a mistake doesn't mean that God cancels your destiny. Peter 325 00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:33,679 Speaker 1: blew it big time, but just a few days later 326 00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:36,600 Speaker 1: he had this big time catch so much that he 327 00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:40,040 Speaker 1: couldn't haul it all in. That's the mercy of God. 328 00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:43,879 Speaker 1: When you make mistakes, God doesn't get rid of your fish. 329 00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:47,920 Speaker 1: He doesn't take them away. He holds your fish. They 330 00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:51,240 Speaker 1: become a stored up blessing. When you get back on 331 00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:55,040 Speaker 1: the right path, God will release what should have been yours. 332 00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:58,480 Speaker 1: You may think, well, jod I made a lot of mistakes. 333 00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:01,080 Speaker 1: I'm sure God had some good things stored up for me. 334 00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:04,040 Speaker 1: But it's too late now. No, you're just like Peter. 335 00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:08,600 Speaker 1: God is holding your fish. They belong to you. Why 336 00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:12,600 Speaker 1: don't you start believing again? God knew every mistake you'd 337 00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:15,679 Speaker 1: ever make. He knew the times we'd blow it, the 338 00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:19,720 Speaker 1: times that we would fail. If that disqualified us, all 339 00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:22,000 Speaker 1: of us would come up empty. None of us would 340 00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:26,000 Speaker 1: catch anything. When you make mistakes, the accuser will whisper 341 00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:28,560 Speaker 1: in your ear. No use you throwing out your nets. 342 00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:31,440 Speaker 1: God's not gonna bring you any fish. You're not gonna 343 00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:35,080 Speaker 1: catch anything. God is saying, I dare you to believe. 344 00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:38,080 Speaker 1: I dare you to throw your nets on the right 345 00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:41,480 Speaker 1: side of the boat. That means start making good decisions, 346 00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:46,159 Speaker 1: Start ordering God, living with excellence and integrity. When you 347 00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:49,600 Speaker 1: do this, mistakes of the past won't keep you from 348 00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:53,560 Speaker 1: your future. Your fish are still out there, your dreams, 349 00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:56,800 Speaker 1: your spouse, your healing, that breakthrough, it has your name 350 00:20:56,840 --> 00:20:59,600 Speaker 1: on it. Throw your nets on the right side of 351 00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:02,200 Speaker 1: the boat. And God is still going to bless you, 352 00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:05,639 Speaker 1: still going to heal you. You're still going to accomplish your 353 00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:09,359 Speaker 1: dreams and become who you were created to be. We 354 00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:12,800 Speaker 1: see this principle throughout the scripture. As a young man, 355 00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:16,000 Speaker 1: Moses knew he was supposed to deliver the people of 356 00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:18,919 Speaker 1: Israel out of slavery, but he got in a hurry 357 00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:21,679 Speaker 1: and tried to do it in his own strength. He 358 00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:25,080 Speaker 1: saw an Israelite being mistreated, he went over and killed 359 00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:27,960 Speaker 1: the man that was doing it. Other people saw him. 360 00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:32,000 Speaker 1: Moses had to flee for his life. He spent years 361 00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:35,720 Speaker 1: on the backside of the desert in hiding. Looked like 362 00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:40,160 Speaker 1: he missed his destiny. But forty years later God said, Moses, 363 00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:44,639 Speaker 1: I haven't forgotten about you. That mistake didn't stop my 364 00:21:44,760 --> 00:21:48,600 Speaker 1: plan for your life. Go tell Froh let my people go. 365 00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:52,600 Speaker 1: I'm sure Moses thought of excuses. God, I'm too old 366 00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:57,080 Speaker 1: made too many mistakes. I don't deserve this, he was saying. 367 00:21:57,240 --> 00:22:00,720 Speaker 1: I fished all night, didn't catch anything. But God knew 368 00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:04,160 Speaker 1: where moses fish were. He had him stored up, and 369 00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:07,880 Speaker 1: at eighty Moses delivered. The people of Israel saw favor 370 00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:12,280 Speaker 1: again and again. You may have made mistakes, but God 371 00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:15,960 Speaker 1: still has your fish. You can still become who He 372 00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:20,480 Speaker 1: created you to be. Even with Abraham, God promised him 373 00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:23,080 Speaker 1: and his wife Sarah that they would have a baby. 374 00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:27,280 Speaker 1: They were much too old, way past the child bearing years. 375 00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:31,800 Speaker 1: Year after year went by, no baby. They got worried 376 00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:36,280 Speaker 1: and tried to help God out. Abraham slept with Sarah's maid. 377 00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:39,480 Speaker 1: They had a boy, but it wasn't the promised child. 378 00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:43,920 Speaker 1: Sarah got mad at Abraham, the maid got mad at Sarah. 379 00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:47,720 Speaker 1: All kinds of dysfunction in this house. You would think 380 00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:51,320 Speaker 1: God would say, too bad, Abraham, you blew it having 381 00:22:51,400 --> 00:22:53,840 Speaker 1: a baby with another woman. What were you thinking? You 382 00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:57,840 Speaker 1: got one messed up family. But in spite of the dysfunction, 383 00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:02,600 Speaker 1: in spite of the mistake, God said, Abraham, I still 384 00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:05,800 Speaker 1: have your promise stored up. I still have that sun 385 00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:09,600 Speaker 1: for you. Against all odds. When he was almost one 386 00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:15,040 Speaker 1: hundred Sarah had a baby, the promised child, Isaac, What 387 00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:18,919 Speaker 1: am I saying? You may have blown it, made mistakes. 388 00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:22,360 Speaker 1: Your nets are empty. You don't think the promise will 389 00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:25,879 Speaker 1: ever come to pass. God is still holding your fish. 390 00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:28,840 Speaker 1: He didn't get rid of them. They belonged to you. 391 00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:32,080 Speaker 1: If you'll start throwing your nets on the right side 392 00:23:32,080 --> 00:23:35,480 Speaker 1: of the boat, you'll still see God's favor. He'll still 393 00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:40,000 Speaker 1: do what he promised you. Jesus told a parable Matthew 394 00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:45,600 Speaker 1: chapter twenty about this landowner that hired labors to work 395 00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:48,360 Speaker 1: in his vineyard. He hired the first group of men 396 00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:51,320 Speaker 1: to start at nine o'clock in the morning. They agreed 397 00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:54,399 Speaker 1: to work all day for one denarius that was about 398 00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:58,439 Speaker 1: twenty dollars. He hired another group to start at noon, 399 00:23:59,040 --> 00:24:01,960 Speaker 1: another to start at in the afternoon, and the final 400 00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:05,119 Speaker 1: group to start at five. Back in those days, they 401 00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:08,960 Speaker 1: worked from sun up to sundown, so the last group 402 00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:12,240 Speaker 1: that started at five probably only worked an hour or two. 403 00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:15,520 Speaker 1: But when it came time to be paid the owner 404 00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:19,320 Speaker 1: he represents God. He paid the group that started at 405 00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:23,320 Speaker 1: five twenty dollars, the group that started at three twenty dollars, 406 00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:26,560 Speaker 1: and the group that started at noon, and at nine 407 00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:30,000 Speaker 1: in the morning the same amount twenty dollars. Some of 408 00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:34,320 Speaker 1: them were upset, saying that it wasn't fair. The owner said, listen, 409 00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:37,760 Speaker 1: it's my money. I paid you what I agreed. Don't 410 00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:42,200 Speaker 1: fault me for being generous. Here's the point. Even though 411 00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:47,280 Speaker 1: you may have started late, you made mistakes, missed some opportunities. 412 00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:50,959 Speaker 1: God doesn't say I'm cutting your pay. I'm only going 413 00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:52,919 Speaker 1: to give you half of what should have been yours 414 00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:56,560 Speaker 1: if you'll get back on the field, start making decisions 415 00:24:56,560 --> 00:25:00,960 Speaker 1: that honor God. All those past wages, God has stored 416 00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:04,680 Speaker 1: up the blessings, the favor, the increase He still wants 417 00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:08,040 Speaker 1: to release in your life. You can still reach the 418 00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:12,960 Speaker 1: fullness of your destiny. Don't let the accusing voices cause 419 00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:16,879 Speaker 1: you to live guilty, condemned, thinking you've seen your best days. 420 00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:20,760 Speaker 1: Like Peter, you may have made mistakes, but God still 421 00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:23,960 Speaker 1: has your Fish. There's still a great haul up in 422 00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:28,240 Speaker 1: front of you. Like Abraham, God still has your Isaac. 423 00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:31,800 Speaker 1: He's still planning to bring to past what he promised you. 424 00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:35,800 Speaker 1: Like this last group of workers, you may have started late, 425 00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:39,080 Speaker 1: but God's not docking you a pay. He wants to 426 00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:41,320 Speaker 1: give you the full amount. If you'll just get back 427 00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:44,480 Speaker 1: in the game. Your voices, the thoughts may tell you 428 00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:47,840 Speaker 1: you don't deserve it. Other people may complain, But here's 429 00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:51,679 Speaker 1: the key. Favor is not fair. It's just the goodness, 430 00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:54,399 Speaker 1: the mercy of God. Why don't you receive it today? 431 00:25:55,240 --> 00:26:00,359 Speaker 1: If you'll do this, I believe and declare order of 432 00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:03,760 Speaker 1: blessings are about to be released in your life. The 433 00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:07,159 Speaker 1: fish are going to find you, not little minnos, but 434 00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:12,919 Speaker 1: some big fish. Big breaks, promotion, healing, restoration, the fullness 435 00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:16,479 Speaker 1: of your destiny in Jesus's name. If you receive it, 436 00:26:16,560 --> 00:26:20,840 Speaker 1: can you say amen today? Amen? You never like to 437 00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:23,880 Speaker 1: close our broadcast without giving you an opportunity to make 438 00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:26,679 Speaker 1: Jesus the lord of your life. Would you pray with me? 439 00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:32,480 Speaker 1: Just say, Lord, Jesus, I'll repent of my sins, Come 440 00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:36,919 Speaker 1: into my heart, wash me clean. I'll make you my 441 00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:41,320 Speaker 1: lord and save your friends. If you prayed that simple prayer, 442 00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:43,680 Speaker 1: we believe you got born again. Get in a good 443 00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:46,879 Speaker 1: Bible based church. Keep God first place. He's going to 444 00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:50,480 Speaker 1: take your places that you've never dreamed of. It's easy 445 00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:53,280 Speaker 1: to get stuck in life because of fear and lack 446 00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:57,280 Speaker 1: of confidence. We've been through disappointments.
