00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:11,760
Speaker 4: But thanks so much for tuning in, and thank you

47
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:14,720
Speaker 4: again for coming out. I like to start with something funny.

48
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:18,760
Speaker 4: And heard about this scientist. He said to God, we've

49
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:22,440
Speaker 4: decided that we no longer need you. We can clone people,

50
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:26,080
Speaker 4: we can transplant hearts and do all kinds of things

51
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:30,160
Speaker 4: once considered miraculous. God said, that's fine. But to prove

52
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:33,359
Speaker 4: you don't need me, let's have a man making contest.

53
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:36,639
Speaker 4: The only requirement is you have to make man out

54
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 4: of dirt. The scientist said, great, and he quickly reached

55
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:42,560
Speaker 4: down to pick up a handful of dirt, and God said,

56
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:46,880
Speaker 4: not so fast. Go get your own dirt. Hold up

57
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:49,960
Speaker 4: your bible. Say it like you mean it. This is

58
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:51,919
Speaker 4: my Bible. I am what it says.

59
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:52,239
Speaker 5: I am.

60
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:54,920
Speaker 4: I have what it says I have. I can do

61
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 4: what it says I can do. Today I will be

62
00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:01,280
Speaker 4: taught the word of God. I boldly can. My mind

63
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:04,480
Speaker 4: is alert, my heart is receptive. I will never be

64
00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 4: the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you. I want

65
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:13,000
Speaker 4: to talk to you today about there's another ingredient coming.

66
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:17,320
Speaker 4: We all face disappointments in life and situations that we

67
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:21,959
Speaker 4: don't understand. It's easy to get discouraged and think, why

68
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:25,200
Speaker 4: did that happen to me? Why did that friend betray me?

69
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:29,000
Speaker 4: Why did I get laid off? Why wasn't I raised

70
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:32,400
Speaker 4: in a good childhood like you? Joel? No, life is

71
00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:36,360
Speaker 4: not always fair, but God is fair, he said in

72
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:41,320
Speaker 4: Romans Ad, all things work together for good to those

73
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:45,720
Speaker 4: that love the Lord. The key word is together. You

74
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:50,800
Speaker 4: cannot isolate one part of your life, one divorce, one

75
00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:55,880
Speaker 4: bad childhood, one disappointment that in itself may not be good.

76
00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 4: But God is not finished. Your life is not over.

77
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:03,520
Speaker 4: You had a bad break. Don't get stuck where you are.

78
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:08,320
Speaker 4: There's another ingredient coming. That means the right people, the

79
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 4: right opportunities are in your future. If you'll get your

80
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:16,400
Speaker 4: passion back and start moving forward, you'll see what God promised.

81
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:20,719
Speaker 4: It will all come together and work out for your good.

82
00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:24,240
Speaker 4: When our children were small, one of their favorite things

83
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:27,840
Speaker 4: to do was make chocolate chip cookies. We had done

84
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:30,080
Speaker 4: it so much we didn't even have to look at

85
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:34,039
Speaker 4: the recipe. We knew exactly what to put in. Jonathan,

86
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:36,640
Speaker 4: just five or six years old, he would get the

87
00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:40,760
Speaker 4: brown sugar, the butter, the eggs. Little Alexandra just three

88
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:45,320
Speaker 4: years old. She'd get the flour, bacon, soda, vanilla. We

89
00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 4: were very precise to put in the exact amount in

90
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:53,599
Speaker 4: the exact order it was called for. One time, about

91
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:57,080
Speaker 4: halfway through making a batch of cookies, I realized that

92
00:04:57,200 --> 00:04:59,760
Speaker 4: we didn't have any bacon soda. I didn't feel like

93
00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 4: going on up to the store, so we decided to

94
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:03,039
Speaker 4: not put the bacon.

95
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 5: So to end.

96
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:07,200
Speaker 4: I thought, no big deals, just a tea spoon. We'd

97
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:09,880
Speaker 4: put two and a half cups of flour. What difference

98
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:13,280
Speaker 4: was a little teaspoonful going to make? But when we

99
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:15,600
Speaker 4: took the cookies out of the oven, they were as

100
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:20,440
Speaker 4: flat as could be, had not risen one bit, totally tasteless.

101
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:24,720
Speaker 4: What was the problem. An ingredient was left out? A

102
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:29,480
Speaker 4: small amount made a huge difference. Some people are bitter

103
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:33,240
Speaker 4: on life because they haven't waited for all the ingredients

104
00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:38,240
Speaker 4: to come together. God is the master chef. The recipe

105
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:41,840
Speaker 4: for your life has already been established. The scripture talks

106
00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:45,360
Speaker 4: about how God has planned your days for good from

107
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 4: beginning to end. God knows exactly what to add and

108
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:52,560
Speaker 4: when to add it. He's not going to do like

109
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:56,120
Speaker 4: I did and leave out an important ingredient. He's going

110
00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:58,880
Speaker 4: to put in just the right amount at just the

111
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:02,479
Speaker 4: right time, so you can become everything He's created you

112
00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:05,800
Speaker 4: to be. But sometimes in life it may feel like

113
00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:09,679
Speaker 4: things are flat. It's flat in your career, flatten your marriage,

114
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:14,760
Speaker 4: flatten your finances. But don't get discouraged. There's another ingredient coming.

115
00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:18,080
Speaker 4: All God has to do is add some of his

116
00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:22,120
Speaker 4: bacon soda and you'll rise to a new level. You

117
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:26,040
Speaker 4: may have seen the chef on television, Chef Emerald. He's

118
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:30,760
Speaker 4: very animated. Whenever he adds an ingredient, he says, Bam.

119
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:34,240
Speaker 4: Just imagine at the right time, God, bam adds a

120
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:37,359
Speaker 4: little favor to your life. It's not flat anymore. Things

121
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:42,080
Speaker 4: begin to take off. BAM. A good break, BAM, a healing.

122
00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:46,080
Speaker 4: You're lonely, that person left you, BAM, A divine connection,

123
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:51,080
Speaker 4: somebody better. Maybe your child's off course, Joel, I don't

124
00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:53,479
Speaker 4: know what I did wrong. I raised him in church.

125
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:57,640
Speaker 4: I just don't understand it. No, you didn't do anything wrong. Relax.

126
00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:00,920
Speaker 4: There's a Bam coming. Knows how to get him on

127
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:03,640
Speaker 4: the right course. He's not going to stay in the pit.

128
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:06,960
Speaker 4: At the right time, God will add just the right

129
00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:10,440
Speaker 4: ingredient that will cause him to rise up and fulfill

130
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:13,240
Speaker 4: his God given destiny. I don't know about you, but

131
00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:17,240
Speaker 4: I'm expecting some bams. Listen, you have not seen your

132
00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:21,560
Speaker 4: best days. You have not reached your full potential. God

133
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:24,640
Speaker 4: has ingredients come in your way that will thrust you

134
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:28,280
Speaker 4: to a new level. He has ingredients that are going

135
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:32,920
Speaker 4: to cause everything to make sense. When God brings it

136
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:36,920
Speaker 4: all together and you see the fullness of what he

137
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:40,000
Speaker 4: was doing, You're not gonna worry about who hurts you,

138
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:43,680
Speaker 4: what you lost, how unfair it was. You're gonna look

139
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:47,240
Speaker 4: back and say, Wow, God, you're amazing. You had it

140
00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:50,840
Speaker 4: all figured out. Your plan was better than my plan.

141
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:54,560
Speaker 4: You gave me beauty for ashes. You made a way

142
00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:57,360
Speaker 4: when I didn't see a way. You had just the

143
00:07:57,480 --> 00:08:01,360
Speaker 4: right people show up at just the right time. Why

144
00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:05,520
Speaker 4: don't you trust him? You may not understand something right now,

145
00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:08,920
Speaker 4: but one day you will. It's going to all come together.

146
00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:14,280
Speaker 4: The mistake we make too often is we isolate one incident,

147
00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:17,600
Speaker 4: and it causes us to lose our passion. I had

148
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:21,040
Speaker 4: a lady tell me recently how her husband of many

149
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:25,400
Speaker 4: years left her for another woman. She was so devastated.

150
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:29,920
Speaker 4: She couldn't understand it. And I know that's hard, that's painful,

151
00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:34,400
Speaker 4: but that is not the end. If that person leaving

152
00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:37,680
Speaker 4: was going to keep you from your destiny, God would

153
00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:41,120
Speaker 4: have never allowed it. And this may be hard to swallow,

154
00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:44,959
Speaker 4: but if they left you, you didn't need them. If

155
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:48,160
Speaker 4: they walked away, they weren't a part of your destiny.

156
00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:55,479
Speaker 4: There's another ingredient coming. Somebody better, somebody that God ordained,

157
00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:58,920
Speaker 4: Somebody that will treat you like a queen or a king.

158
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:03,400
Speaker 4: Somebody that will value you, celebrates you. Somebody that cannot

159
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:08,840
Speaker 4: live without you. And there's something called the gift of goodbye.

160
00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:12,880
Speaker 4: They may think, they may think they did you harm,

161
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:16,120
Speaker 4: but they're doing you a favor. Blow them a kiss.

162
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:20,319
Speaker 4: Don't ever look back. Just keep moving forward. Now, some

163
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:24,240
Speaker 4: of you. You got to quit mourning over what you've lost,

164
00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:27,680
Speaker 4: Quit being discouraged over what didn't work out. It's not

165
00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:31,199
Speaker 4: over until God says it's over. Now. I heard somebody

166
00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:36,440
Speaker 4: say God always ends on all is well, So if

167
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:39,520
Speaker 4: all is not well in your life, that simply means

168
00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:43,520
Speaker 4: it is not the end. Keep moving forward. Another ingredient

169
00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:47,120
Speaker 4: is coming. A lot of times like this, lady, people

170
00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:51,280
Speaker 4: are soured on life because they can't understand why something

171
00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:54,720
Speaker 4: has happened. But everything is not going to make sense

172
00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:57,360
Speaker 4: if you isolate it, if you look at it just

173
00:09:57,440 --> 00:10:00,680
Speaker 4: on its own, you'll get discouraged. I have to remind

174
00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:04,920
Speaker 4: yourself it is not yet all come together. It's not

175
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:09,520
Speaker 4: supposed to make sense by itself. Imagine my children when

176
00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:12,559
Speaker 4: they were smaller, wanted to make some chocolate chip cookies,

177
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:15,560
Speaker 4: but we didn't have time to bake them. So I

178
00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:19,240
Speaker 4: got the ingredients out and gave them to Jonathan to

179
00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:23,560
Speaker 4: eat separately. Jonathan, here's a cup of brown sugar. Eat this,

180
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:27,640
Speaker 4: wash it down with this tablespoon of vanilla. Here's the

181
00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:30,360
Speaker 4: raw eggs. When you're done with that, here's two cups

182
00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:34,080
Speaker 4: of flour. And okay, here's your two sticks of butter. Now, Jonathan,

183
00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:39,480
Speaker 4: you officially have chocolate chip cookies on the inside. Somehow

184
00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:42,600
Speaker 4: it doesn't work that way. The key is it has

185
00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:47,120
Speaker 4: to all be mixed together in the same way. You

186
00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:51,000
Speaker 4: cannot isolate one part of your life and think, oh,

187
00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:54,800
Speaker 4: this tastes bad. I went through a divorce, I had

188
00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:58,160
Speaker 4: a lousy childhood. I started a business that felled. I

189
00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:00,560
Speaker 4: had to take a year of chemotherapy. Look what I've

190
00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:04,280
Speaker 4: been through. That's not supposed to taste good by itself.

191
00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:07,320
Speaker 4: You gotta wait for God to bring it all together.

192
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:11,760
Speaker 4: He's got another ingredient that he's gonna add to your life.

193
00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:17,200
Speaker 4: That person that left you, that's painful, that's bitter on

194
00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:21,320
Speaker 4: its own. But when God brings it all together and

195
00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:24,920
Speaker 4: brings you somebody greater than you ever dreamed of, You're

196
00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:27,600
Speaker 4: not even gonna miss that old goat that left you.

197
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:31,560
Speaker 4: All the bitterness will be gone just a matter of

198
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:35,640
Speaker 4: time before it comes together. The person that lied about

199
00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:40,040
Speaker 4: you tried to ruin your reputation by itself. That tastes bad.

200
00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:44,280
Speaker 4: But that's only one ingredient. God knows how to vindicate you.

201
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:47,480
Speaker 4: God knows how to make wrongs right. He can prepare

202
00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:50,560
Speaker 4: a table before you in the presence of your enemies.

203
00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:55,520
Speaker 4: When it all comes together and you're promoted, living your dreams,

204
00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:59,880
Speaker 4: fulfilling your destiny, it will taste good. When you face

205
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:03,680
Speaker 4: that sickness, maybe having to take the treatment, it's easy

206
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:06,880
Speaker 4: to think, man, God's not even concerned about me. Look

207
00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:09,480
Speaker 4: what I'm going through. No God has you in the

208
00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:13,240
Speaker 4: palm of his hand. He said, no weapon formed against

209
00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:17,120
Speaker 4: you will prosper. Weeping may endure for a night. Here's

210
00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:21,520
Speaker 4: the promise. Joy is coming in the morning. God is faith.

211
00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:26,880
Speaker 4: It may get tough, you may face some situations that

212
00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:30,120
Speaker 4: are bitter. But if you'll stay in faith and not

213
00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:33,720
Speaker 4: let the bitterness get on the inside, God says, I'm

214
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:37,320
Speaker 4: not at a loss. I have another ingredient that can

215
00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:42,120
Speaker 4: turn the bitter into sweet. Several years after Victory and

216
00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:45,880
Speaker 4: I were married, we received an unexpected tax bill in

217
00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:49,119
Speaker 4: the mail. The man that was doing our tax returns

218
00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:52,960
Speaker 4: lived in another state. He wasn't familiar with a certain

219
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:56,680
Speaker 4: tax law in Texas. Now we owe thousands and thousands

220
00:12:56,720 --> 00:13:00,400
Speaker 4: of dollars. To make matters worse, over half of what

221
00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:04,720
Speaker 4: we owed were in penalties. Thought God, this is not fair.

222
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:08,840
Speaker 4: I hired a professional. He messed up. Now I'm having

223
00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:12,199
Speaker 4: to pay for his mistakes. We were discouraged. We were

224
00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:14,960
Speaker 4: a young couple and we were trying to save money

225
00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:17,760
Speaker 4: for a down payment on a home. This was going

226
00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:20,800
Speaker 4: to take all of our funds. We ended up finding

227
00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:23,760
Speaker 4: this man to help us get it straightened out. He

228
00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:26,920
Speaker 4: was a tax attorney for several weeks. He was at

229
00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:30,360
Speaker 4: our house every night, going over the documents, filling out

230
00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:34,280
Speaker 4: new forms. We would eat dinner together, run errands together.

231
00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:38,679
Speaker 4: We ended up becoming very good friends. Ten years later,

232
00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:41,960
Speaker 4: I was working in the television department here at Lakewood.

233
00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:45,440
Speaker 4: A man stopped me before service and said, Joel, my

234
00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:50,040
Speaker 4: cousin has a construction permit for the last full power

235
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:53,840
Speaker 4: commercial television station in Houston. He'd like you to be

236
00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:56,520
Speaker 4: a part of it. As you know, a TV station

237
00:13:56,880 --> 00:14:00,880
Speaker 4: in a major market is extremely valuable. Know where to start?

238
00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:04,160
Speaker 4: I was young. I thought I don't know anything about

239
00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:08,480
Speaker 4: negotiating a contract for a TV station. Then it dawned

240
00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:11,920
Speaker 4: on me. I'll call my attorney friend, the one I

241
00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:15,400
Speaker 4: met during my tax problem. In three months, he handed

242
00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:18,720
Speaker 4: us a contract. The station was ours. We put it

243
00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:21,520
Speaker 4: on the air. Eventually my father went to be with

244
00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:25,160
Speaker 4: the Lord. Now I was the pastor. Three years later

245
00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:29,280
Speaker 4: we acquired the Compact Center. This place. We found out

246
00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:31,520
Speaker 4: it was going to cost about one hundred million dollars

247
00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:35,200
Speaker 4: to renovate, so we decided to sell the television station.

248
00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:39,360
Speaker 4: We sold it for a huge profit. It was those

249
00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:43,840
Speaker 4: funds that were instrumental in us renovating this place. What

250
00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:47,160
Speaker 4: I want you to see is when it all comes together,

251
00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:51,560
Speaker 4: it'll make sense. That tax problem on its own was

252
00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:55,680
Speaker 4: very bitter. It didn't seem fair. But had I not

253
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:59,200
Speaker 4: had that problem, I would have never met the attorney

254
00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:02,440
Speaker 4: and become good friends. Without the attorney, I would have

255
00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:06,440
Speaker 4: probably never pursued the TV station. Without the television station,

256
00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:09,400
Speaker 4: we may not have been able to renovate this facility

257
00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:13,880
Speaker 4: like we really wanted to. Friends. God knows what he's doing.

258
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:18,200
Speaker 4: He's got it all figured out. In life, you will

259
00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:22,120
Speaker 4: face situations that don't make sense. On their own. It

260
00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:25,760
Speaker 4: seems bitter. You may think, like I did, God is

261
00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:29,320
Speaker 4: not fair. Why is this happening? Let me assure you

262
00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:34,680
Speaker 4: God has a plan. There's another ingredient coming somewhere down

263
00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:38,480
Speaker 4: the road in a month, in a year, in twenty years.

264
00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:41,400
Speaker 4: You're going to see God work it all for your good.

265
00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:45,520
Speaker 4: When you face these situations that don't make sense, it's

266
00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:49,680
Speaker 4: very powerful to say God, I don't understand it, but

267
00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:53,280
Speaker 4: I trust you God. It doesn't seem fair, but I

268
00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:56,200
Speaker 4: know you're fair. I'm not going to get better. I'm

269
00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:58,440
Speaker 4: not going to lose my passion. I'm going to keep

270
00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:02,880
Speaker 4: pressing forward knowing that you are in complete control. Here's

271
00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:06,960
Speaker 4: what I've learned. Nothing in life happens to you, it

272
00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:10,800
Speaker 4: happens for you. God wouldn't have allowed it if he

273
00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:14,240
Speaker 4: didn't have a purpose. If that person that left you,

274
00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:17,640
Speaker 4: if that bad break, if that sickness was going to

275
00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:21,080
Speaker 4: keep you from your destiny, God would have never permitted it.

276
00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:24,480
Speaker 4: The enemy is not in control of your life. God

277
00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:28,200
Speaker 4: is in control. The enemy can't even touch you without

278
00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:32,280
Speaker 4: asking God for permission. Keep the right perspective. Instead of

279
00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:36,400
Speaker 4: getting bitter discouraged. No, our attitude should be this is

280
00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:40,080
Speaker 4: not happening to me, It's happening for me. God said,

281
00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:42,480
Speaker 4: he is going to take what's meant from my arm

282
00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:45,760
Speaker 4: and use it to my advantage. It may be bitter

283
00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:49,760
Speaker 4: right now, but I know a secret, another ingredient is coming.

284
00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:52,280
Speaker 4: I heard about a man that was out in his

285
00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:56,560
Speaker 4: boat and a big storm came up and his boat capsized.

286
00:16:57,120 --> 00:17:00,960
Speaker 4: He ended up stranded on a deserted island. Month after

287
00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:04,879
Speaker 4: month went by. He was so miserable all by himself.

288
00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:08,280
Speaker 4: Just when he thought it couldn't get any worse, when

289
00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:11,679
Speaker 4: he was out gathering food, one day he came back

290
00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:15,360
Speaker 4: and the little thatched roof hut that he built had

291
00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:19,000
Speaker 4: caught on fire. He sat there and watched it burn

292
00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:22,719
Speaker 4: to the ground. It was like pouring salt in the wounds.

293
00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:25,199
Speaker 4: He said, God, I give up. I asked you to

294
00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:29,000
Speaker 4: help me in One bad thing after another happens. About

295
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:32,280
Speaker 4: that time, he looked way off in the distance. He

296
00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:35,959
Speaker 4: saw a boat coming toward him. He perked up. It

297
00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:39,960
Speaker 4: got closer and closer. Sure enough, it was the coastguard

298
00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:44,119
Speaker 4: came and rescued him. He was so thrilled, got on

299
00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:47,720
Speaker 4: the boat, gave everybody a big hug. Said to the captain,

300
00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:51,720
Speaker 4: how in the world did you find me? The captain said,

301
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:54,879
Speaker 4: we saw the smoke from the fire that you built.

302
00:17:56,000 --> 00:18:00,240
Speaker 4: Sometimes what we think is a disappointment is God God

303
00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:03,919
Speaker 4: simply getting us in position to go to a new level.

304
00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:06,800
Speaker 4: I didn't like the tax problem, but I sure do

305
00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:11,600
Speaker 4: like being in the compact center when your huts on fire.

306
00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:16,320
Speaker 4: If your hut ever gets on fire, keep the right perspective,

307
00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:20,560
Speaker 4: don't start complaining. God wouldn't have allowed it unless he

308
00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:24,199
Speaker 4: had a purpose. May not make sense right now, but

309
00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:26,919
Speaker 4: one day, when it comes together, it will make sense.

310
00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:31,359
Speaker 4: In the scripture, there's a lady named Naomi. Her name

311
00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:36,479
Speaker 4: means my joy. Every time someone said hello Naomi. They

312
00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:40,520
Speaker 4: were saying, hello, my joy, Good morning Naomi, good morning,

313
00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:44,880
Speaker 4: my joy. She must have been a very happy, joyful person.

314
00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:50,040
Speaker 4: But Naomi went through a series of losses. Her husband died,

315
00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:53,760
Speaker 4: it's very devastated. Her sons were killed in a battle.

316
00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:58,200
Speaker 4: All these things came against her. She made the mistake

317
00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:02,400
Speaker 4: of letting the bitterness get on the inside. Yes, there's

318
00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:05,800
Speaker 4: a proper time for grieving, but you can't let a

319
00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:09,960
Speaker 4: season of mourning turn into a lifetime of morning. Her

320
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:13,840
Speaker 4: attitude was, I've been through too much. My dreams are

321
00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:17,760
Speaker 4: all shattered. Never be happy again. Just leave me in

322
00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:21,959
Speaker 4: my pain. She was so discouraged that she changed her

323
00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:28,600
Speaker 4: name from Naomi Tomorrow Marraw means sorrow. Now. When somebody

324
00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:32,080
Speaker 4: said hello Naomi, she said, don't call me that. I

325
00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:35,200
Speaker 4: don't have any joy, I don't have any hope. Call

326
00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:40,240
Speaker 4: me by my new name, sorrow. Like Naomi, you may

327
00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:43,320
Speaker 4: have been through a loss, maybe a dream has died.

328
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:47,720
Speaker 4: My challenge to you is don't let life change your name.

329
00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:52,439
Speaker 4: There's another ingredient coming. God still has something great in

330
00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:56,719
Speaker 4: your future. He has not forgotten about you. God sees

331
00:19:56,800 --> 00:20:00,800
Speaker 4: every sparrow, every little bird that falls to the How

332
00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:05,760
Speaker 4: much more is God concerned about you? I've learned the

333
00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:09,520
Speaker 4: depth of your past is an indication of the height

334
00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:13,040
Speaker 4: of your future. When construction workers are going to build

335
00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:16,400
Speaker 4: a large skyscraper, they have to first go down deep

336
00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:20,399
Speaker 4: to lay a foundation. The taller the building, the deeper

337
00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:24,040
Speaker 4: the foundation. You may have been through an unfair situation,

338
00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:28,040
Speaker 4: lost a loved one, friend betrayed you, you're dealing with

339
00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:31,040
Speaker 4: the sickness. It would be easy to get discouraged and

340
00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:34,760
Speaker 4: just settle there. So you have to realize God's going

341
00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:38,440
Speaker 4: down deep because he has something big in your future.

342
00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:41,720
Speaker 4: You may be low right now, but He's getting you

343
00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:45,320
Speaker 4: prepared to go high. There are new levels of joy,

344
00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:50,760
Speaker 4: new levels of influence, new opportunities, new relationships up ahead

345
00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:53,640
Speaker 4: of you. Now, don't do like she did and let

346
00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:58,600
Speaker 4: what you've been through become your identity. Don't become known

347
00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:01,359
Speaker 4: as the person that had answer, the person that lost

348
00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:04,360
Speaker 4: a loved one, the person that went through that bitter divorce.

349
00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:07,320
Speaker 4: Now that's not who you are. That's what you went through.

350
00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:11,360
Speaker 4: You are a child of the most High God, created

351
00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:15,760
Speaker 4: in his image with a destiny to fulfill. Your name

352
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:21,280
Speaker 4: is not sadness, sorrow, defeat mediocrity. Your name is victory.

353
00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:24,480
Speaker 4: Your name is joy, your name is favor, your name

354
00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:28,840
Speaker 4: is abundance, your name is bright future. No matter what

355
00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:32,040
Speaker 4: life deals you, you got to have the attitude I

356
00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:34,680
Speaker 4: am in it to win it. I may have been

357
00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:37,560
Speaker 4: through a lot, but I've come too far to stop now.

358
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:40,720
Speaker 4: I am not gonna get negative. I'm not gonna live bitter.

359
00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:43,919
Speaker 4: I'm gonna keep moving forward. I know what's in my

360
00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:47,840
Speaker 4: future is greater than what's in my past. Listen, God

361
00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:52,080
Speaker 4: is not going to allow one event or one person

362
00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:56,400
Speaker 4: to ruin your life. Your destiny cannot be stopped by

363
00:21:56,560 --> 00:22:01,800
Speaker 4: bad break, an injustice, and unfair situal. All the forces

364
00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:06,560
Speaker 4: of darkness cannot stop what God has ordained. Yes, you'll

365
00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:09,760
Speaker 4: have to fight off the bitterness, the self pity, the resentment.

366
00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:14,840
Speaker 4: But if you'll keep moving forward, the right ingredients will come.

367
00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:18,400
Speaker 4: The Psalm has put it this way. When you keep

368
00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:23,280
Speaker 4: your hope in the Lord, you will never be disappointed. Yes,

369
00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:28,040
Speaker 4: we may have temporary setbacks. Sure will have temporary disappointments.

370
00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:32,520
Speaker 4: But if you'll keep hoping, trusting, honoring God, then you

371
00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:35,439
Speaker 4: will see how God will work it all together for

372
00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:40,000
Speaker 4: your good. You will not be permanently disappointed. One time,

373
00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:42,960
Speaker 4: Moses was leading the people of Israel through the wilderness,

374
00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:46,040
Speaker 4: and they had been traveling for a long time, a

375
00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:51,320
Speaker 4: great distance with no water. They were extremely thirsty, tired, hot.

376
00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:54,200
Speaker 4: They didn't know if they could make it. They finally

377
00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:57,159
Speaker 4: came to a river. They were so excited it was

378
00:22:57,200 --> 00:23:01,359
Speaker 4: like a dream and oasis rushed over to get a drink.

379
00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:05,239
Speaker 4: But when they tasted the water, it was bitter. They

380
00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:09,000
Speaker 4: couldn't drink it. It was too sour. Can imagine how

381
00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:12,920
Speaker 4: disappointed they were. But God had a plan. He told

382
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:16,119
Speaker 4: Moses to put a certain type of tree in the water,

383
00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:20,199
Speaker 4: and when he did, the bitter waters were turned sweet.

384
00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:23,480
Speaker 4: Now they could freely drink as much as they wanted to.

385
00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:29,160
Speaker 4: God is saying, even when life turns out bitter, even

386
00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:32,840
Speaker 4: when it's unfair, I'm not at a loss. I still

387
00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:36,560
Speaker 4: have an ingredient that can turn your bitter waters into sweet.

388
00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:40,520
Speaker 4: This is what happened to my father. He was married

389
00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:45,200
Speaker 4: at a very early age. Unfortunately the marriage didn't work out.

390
00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:49,760
Speaker 4: He was devastated. He thought his days of ministry were over.

391
00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:53,119
Speaker 4: He didn't think he'd ever have a family. It's like

392
00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:56,440
Speaker 4: the people of Israel. He came to the water, thought

393
00:23:56,480 --> 00:23:59,359
Speaker 4: his dreams were coming to pass, only to find out

394
00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:02,960
Speaker 4: the war were bitter. Life didn't turn out the way

395
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:06,520
Speaker 4: he had hoped. Every voice told him you're a failure.

396
00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:10,760
Speaker 4: You blew it. Nothing good is in your future. But

397
00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:16,800
Speaker 4: the scripture says God's calling is irrevocable. You may make mistakes,

398
00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:20,159
Speaker 4: you may go through some failures, but God does not

399
00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:24,200
Speaker 4: change his mind. His calling is still on your life.

400
00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:27,760
Speaker 4: He still has a destiny for you to fulfill. If

401
00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:30,520
Speaker 4: you fall down, you got to get back up and

402
00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:34,280
Speaker 4: get in the game. God has another ingredient that will

403
00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:38,360
Speaker 4: turn your bitter waters into sweet. My father shook off

404
00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:42,880
Speaker 4: the self pity. He received God's mercy. He quit listening

405
00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:47,400
Speaker 4: to the condemning voices. He started moving forward. One day

406
00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:51,160
Speaker 4: he was at the hospital visiting one of his church members.

407
00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:54,880
Speaker 4: He saw a beautiful young nurse that he had never

408
00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:58,760
Speaker 4: seen before. It was my mother. He was so taken

409
00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:03,159
Speaker 4: by her. He would look for any possible reason he

410
00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:06,160
Speaker 4: could find to go up to that hospital. I mean,

411
00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:09,760
Speaker 4: he would go visit your great uncle's third cousin's next

412
00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:12,600
Speaker 4: door neighbor if you ask him to. He was almost

413
00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:15,160
Speaker 4: hoping that some of his church members would get sick,

414
00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:17,720
Speaker 4: so he could go up to the hospital. My mother

415
00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:20,720
Speaker 4: didn't realize what was going on. She told her nurse

416
00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:24,800
Speaker 4: friends that pastor has the sickest congregation I've ever seen.

417
00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:28,560
Speaker 4: One day, it dawned on her he was up there

418
00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:31,440
Speaker 4: to see her. Long story short, They fell in love

419
00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:34,920
Speaker 4: and got married, and God blessed them with four average

420
00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:42,119
Speaker 4: children and one exceptional child. I didn't say his me.

421
00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:48,120
Speaker 4: He went on to have a ministry that spanned fifty years,

422
00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:50,680
Speaker 4: touched the world. He was married to my mother for

423
00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:55,359
Speaker 4: forty four years. What happened God added another ingredient. It

424
00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:58,479
Speaker 4: was my mother that turned the bitter waters into sweep.

425
00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:05,399
Speaker 4: Some of you, like my father, you've gone through disappointments.

426
00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:10,040
Speaker 4: Maybe you've made poor choices, and now you're beating yourself up.

427
00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:14,040
Speaker 4: No passion, no dreams. You've got to get back in

428
00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:19,840
Speaker 4: the game. It starts by forgiving yourself. Receive God's mercy.

429
00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:24,480
Speaker 4: Quit listening to the condemning voices. That mistake did not

430
00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:28,800
Speaker 4: stop God's plan. Shake off the self pition, move forward,

431
00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:33,040
Speaker 4: and you'll see God at another ingredient. David put it

432
00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:36,280
Speaker 4: this way, I have pitched my tent in the land

433
00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:40,040
Speaker 4: of hope. My question, where have you pitched your tent?

434
00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:43,680
Speaker 4: Do you know God has another ingredient? Do you believe

435
00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:46,240
Speaker 4: that together it's all going to work for your good?

436
00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:50,320
Speaker 4: Or are you doing like Naomi and letting life change

437
00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:54,800
Speaker 4: your name? Can't understand why something has happened Now, you've

438
00:26:54,800 --> 00:26:58,439
Speaker 4: got your tent pitched in the wrong location. If you

439
00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:01,000
Speaker 4: want to see God's favor, if you want to see

440
00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:04,600
Speaker 4: God add new ingredients, you got to pack up your belongings.

441
00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:08,560
Speaker 4: Move out of the land of discouragement. It's time to

442
00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:13,320
Speaker 4: leave self pity estates, move out of the nothing good

443
00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:16,359
Speaker 4: ever happens to me subdivision, and come on over to

444
00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:18,960
Speaker 4: the land of hope, the land of faith, the land

445
00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:23,600
Speaker 4: where you know bams are in your future. When life

446
00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:27,000
Speaker 4: tries to push you down, when you face situations you

447
00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:30,840
Speaker 4: don't understand, don't isolate them. Don't try to figure it

448
00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:33,560
Speaker 4: out and say, oh man, this doesn't taste good. Remember

449
00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:37,480
Speaker 4: that's not the whole recipe. That's just one ingredient. God

450
00:27:37,520 --> 00:27:40,439
Speaker 4: wouldn't have allowed it unless he had a purpose. Like

451
00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:43,639
Speaker 4: the hut on fire, like my tax problem. It's not

452
00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:47,119
Speaker 4: happening to you, it's happening for you. God's going to

453
00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:51,080
Speaker 4: use it to your advantage. Many of you have been faithful.

454
00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:54,159
Speaker 4: You pass the test, done the right thing when the

455
00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:57,399
Speaker 4: wrong thing was happening. You need to get ready. God's

456
00:27:57,400 --> 00:28:02,000
Speaker 4: about to add an ingredient person you've been waiting for. BAM.

457
00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:05,159
Speaker 4: They're about to show up that problem this dogged you

458
00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:09,760
Speaker 4: for years BAM, a breakthrough BAM, vindication that sickness, that

459
00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:12,560
Speaker 4: chronic pain you thought you had to live with BAM,

460
