But thanks 31 00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:34,639 Speaker 3: for tuning in. I like to start with something funny, 32 00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:37,600 Speaker 3: and I heard about this pastor He found a dead 33 00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:41,040 Speaker 3: mule on the church grounds. He called the health department. 34 00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:44,160 Speaker 3: They said they couldn't pick it up without authorization from 35 00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:46,919 Speaker 3: the mayor. Well, the mayor was known to be rude 36 00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:49,800 Speaker 3: and hard to get along with. When the pastor called, 37 00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:54,480 Speaker 3: the mayor didn't disappoint. He started ranting and raving. Finally said, 38 00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:57,280 Speaker 3: why did you even call me? Isn't it your job 39 00:01:57,320 --> 00:02:00,400 Speaker 3: to bury the dead? The pastor asked God for the 40 00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:03,640 Speaker 3: right response. He said, yes, Mayor, it's my job to 41 00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:06,640 Speaker 3: bury the dead, but I always like to notify the 42 00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:10,320 Speaker 3: next of ken first, say it like you mean it. 43 00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:13,720 Speaker 3: This is my Bible. I am what it says. I am. 44 00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:16,600 Speaker 3: I have what it says I have. I can do 45 00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:19,440 Speaker 3: what it says I can do. Today I will be 46 00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:23,280 Speaker 3: taught the word of God. I boldly confess. My mind 47 00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:26,480 Speaker 3: is alert, my heart is receptive. I will never be 48 00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:31,520 Speaker 3: the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you. I want 49 00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:34,680 Speaker 3: to talk to you today about keep on walking. We 50 00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:37,799 Speaker 3: all have things that we're believing for dreams to come 51 00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:41,520 Speaker 3: to pass, problems to turn around. We have the promise 52 00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:45,920 Speaker 3: in our heart, but nothing is happening. We prayed, we believed, 53 00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:49,639 Speaker 3: but we don't see any signs of things improving. It's 54 00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:52,320 Speaker 3: easy to get discouraged and think it's never going to 55 00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:55,880 Speaker 3: work out. But most of the time God doesn't do 56 00:02:56,040 --> 00:03:00,440 Speaker 3: things instantly. There will be a waiting period will tell 57 00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:03,040 Speaker 3: you it's too late. If it was going to happen, 58 00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:06,320 Speaker 3: it would have happened by now. But just because you 59 00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:09,480 Speaker 3: don't see anything doesn't mean that God is not working. 60 00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:14,160 Speaker 3: As you keep believing, keep praising, keep doing the right thing, 61 00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:18,160 Speaker 3: you're going to see things begin to change. Many times, 62 00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:22,120 Speaker 3: the miracle is in the process. It happens when you 63 00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:26,519 Speaker 3: keep being obedient. Don't be frustrated because you're not seeing 64 00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:30,520 Speaker 3: immediate results. What you're believing for is still on the way. 65 00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:34,840 Speaker 3: In Luke seventeen, there were ten lepers sitting by the 66 00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:38,480 Speaker 3: side of the road as Jesus came passing through on 67 00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:42,200 Speaker 3: his way to Jerusalem. They begin to shout, Jesus, have 68 00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:45,960 Speaker 3: mercy on us and heal us. Jesus could have gone 69 00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:49,080 Speaker 3: over and healed them right there. He could have spoken 70 00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:52,920 Speaker 3: to them and cause that leprosy to suddenly disappear. But 71 00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:57,440 Speaker 3: he did something interesting. He said, go show yourselves to 72 00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:01,880 Speaker 3: the priest. Well, leprosy was and tageous. They were forbidden 73 00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:04,720 Speaker 3: to be around people. They had to live in colonies, 74 00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:09,320 Speaker 3: isolated from society. Jesus asked them to do something that 75 00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:13,080 Speaker 3: didn't make sense, something out of the ordinary. They could 76 00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:16,240 Speaker 3: have thought, once I'm healed, once I see my skin 77 00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:19,400 Speaker 3: clear up, then I'll go see the priest. But faith 78 00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:22,160 Speaker 3: says you have to believe it before you see it. 79 00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:24,640 Speaker 3: You have to act like it's on the way when 80 00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:28,120 Speaker 3: you don't see any sign of it. These leopers started 81 00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:31,640 Speaker 3: walking toward the priest. It could have been several miles, 82 00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:34,599 Speaker 3: maybe taking them most of the day. I can hear 83 00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:37,479 Speaker 3: people saying, why are you going to the priest you're 84 00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:40,640 Speaker 3: not well. You look just the same. The first couple 85 00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:44,200 Speaker 3: of hours they looked at their skin, didn't see anything different. 86 00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:47,840 Speaker 3: Thoughts said, you might as well turn around, go back home. 87 00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:51,839 Speaker 3: You're just wasting your time. But these leopers just kept 88 00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:55,839 Speaker 3: on walking, no sign of things improving, no changes in 89 00:04:55,920 --> 00:05:00,200 Speaker 3: their skin. But hour after hour they kept walking. I 90 00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:03,400 Speaker 3: can imagine at one point one of them looked at 91 00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:06,279 Speaker 3: their skin and thought, it looks like it's getting better. 92 00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:09,640 Speaker 3: Another begin to move his hand. My fingers are starting 93 00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:12,960 Speaker 3: to function. Another my skin is starting to clear up. 94 00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:17,720 Speaker 3: The scripture says as they went they were healed. If 95 00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:20,400 Speaker 3: they would have stayed where they were waited for things 96 00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:23,760 Speaker 3: to change, they would have never seen the miracle. The 97 00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:27,680 Speaker 3: healing was in the obedience, in the going. By the 98 00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:30,760 Speaker 3: time they got to the priest, they were all perfectly well. 99 00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:34,920 Speaker 3: God has put promises in your heart. He's told you 100 00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:38,160 Speaker 3: that he's restoring health back into you, that you're going 101 00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:40,760 Speaker 3: to lend and not borrow, that as for you and 102 00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:43,839 Speaker 3: your house, you will serve the Lord. But maybe, like 103 00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:48,440 Speaker 3: these lepers, nothing looks any different. The medical report hasn't changed, 104 00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:52,600 Speaker 3: your child's still off course, business hasn't improved. You could 105 00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:56,159 Speaker 3: get discouraged. Think it's never going to happen. No, just 106 00:05:56,279 --> 00:06:01,600 Speaker 3: keep walking, keep being obedient, keep praising, keep thinking. That's 107 00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:04,720 Speaker 3: when the miracle is going to take place. You can't 108 00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:07,600 Speaker 3: go by what you see or by what you don't see. 109 00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:11,359 Speaker 3: Go by what God promised you. Joel, I still have 110 00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:15,640 Speaker 3: these symptoms. Keep on walking. My business is still slow. 111 00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:19,000 Speaker 3: Keep on walking. These people at work are still not 112 00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:23,520 Speaker 3: treating me right. Keep on walking. God sees your obedience. 113 00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:27,560 Speaker 3: He sees you believing when you could be discouraged. He 114 00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:31,200 Speaker 3: hears you praising when you could be complaining. He sees 115 00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:34,760 Speaker 3: you stretching when you could be shrinking back. Now, I 116 00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:37,680 Speaker 3: believe for many of you, you're about to walk into 117 00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:41,960 Speaker 3: your healing, Walk into your freedom, walk into a great spouse, 118 00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:45,680 Speaker 3: walk into abundance. As you keep walking, you're going to 119 00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:49,360 Speaker 3: see God show out in your life. Many of the 120 00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:54,200 Speaker 3: miracles Jesus performed required an act of obedience. His first 121 00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:58,000 Speaker 3: miracle turning water into wine. He told the staff at 122 00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:01,720 Speaker 3: the wedding to go fill up these large pots with water. 123 00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:05,360 Speaker 3: They had to do something that didn't make sense. They 124 00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:09,080 Speaker 3: could have said, Jesus, we need wine, not water. What 125 00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:12,360 Speaker 3: good is this going to do the obedience is what 126 00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:16,160 Speaker 3: brought the miracle. Without them filling the water pots, there 127 00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:19,560 Speaker 3: would be no wine. Is God asking you to do 128 00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:22,960 Speaker 3: something that doesn't make sense, To step out in faith 129 00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:26,400 Speaker 3: when you don't have the experience, to forgive that person 130 00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:29,280 Speaker 3: that did you wrong, to pray for others that need 131 00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:33,000 Speaker 3: healing when you're still not feeling well. Is he asking 132 00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:36,400 Speaker 3: you to bring him five loaves and two fish when 133 00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:39,640 Speaker 3: you need to feed thousands. It's not so much what 134 00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:43,880 Speaker 3: you're doing, it's the obedience. When you prove to God 135 00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:46,520 Speaker 3: that you're going to do the right thing, even when 136 00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:49,920 Speaker 3: it's hard, even when it doesn't make sense, then you're 137 00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:53,720 Speaker 3: going to see God do awesome things in your life. 138 00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:57,239 Speaker 3: In the Old Testament, there was a widow. Her husband 139 00:07:57,280 --> 00:08:00,760 Speaker 3: had died and left her in great debt. She finally 140 00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:04,240 Speaker 3: ran out of funds. Now the creditors were coming to 141 00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:08,360 Speaker 3: take her two sons as payment. The prophet Elisha showed 142 00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:11,560 Speaker 3: up and asked her what she had in her house. 143 00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:15,440 Speaker 3: She said, I don't have anything except a small jar 144 00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:19,280 Speaker 3: of oil. He told her to go out and borrow 145 00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:23,360 Speaker 3: as many empty containers as she could find. That didn't 146 00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:25,920 Speaker 3: make sense. What good was it going to do to 147 00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:29,680 Speaker 3: borrow empty containers. She could have said, Elisha, I need 148 00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:34,440 Speaker 3: full containers. I need provision, I need funds. What God 149 00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:38,480 Speaker 3: asked us to do doesn't always make sense. His ways 150 00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:42,200 Speaker 3: are not our ways. Many times it's simply a test. 151 00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:47,360 Speaker 3: If you'll obey, the miracle will follow. Don't talk yourself 152 00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:50,040 Speaker 3: out of what you know God is telling you to do. 153 00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:54,560 Speaker 3: Sometimes it seems ordinary. You're asking God to promote you. 154 00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:58,320 Speaker 3: He's saying, get to work on time, produce more than 155 00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:03,679 Speaker 3: you have Tosking God for healing, he said, eat healthier, exercise, 156 00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:07,040 Speaker 3: get more sleep. You're believing for your child to get 157 00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:11,120 Speaker 3: on course. God is saying, help that neighbor's child, invest 158 00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:14,440 Speaker 3: into that young man. It doesn't have to make sense. 159 00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:18,640 Speaker 3: That's what faith is all about. This widow went out 160 00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:22,040 Speaker 3: and borrowed all these empty containers. I can see her 161 00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:25,760 Speaker 3: knocking on door after door. The neighbor's thinking, what does 162 00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:28,760 Speaker 3: she need my container for? She doesn't have any food, 163 00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:33,400 Speaker 3: no reason for it. But faith makes room for provision. 164 00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:36,640 Speaker 3: You can't wait till it happens. You have to make 165 00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:39,560 Speaker 3: room for it. When you don't see any sign of it, 166 00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:42,720 Speaker 3: you have to talk like it's on the way. Plan 167 00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:45,160 Speaker 3: like it's on the way. Think like it's on the way. 168 00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:49,280 Speaker 3: After working all day, she came back to her house. 169 00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:53,800 Speaker 3: Now she had a couple dozen empty containers. Elisha told 170 00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:57,240 Speaker 3: her to pour the little oil that she had into 171 00:09:57,280 --> 00:10:00,520 Speaker 3: one of the empty containers. She could have said, but Elisha, 172 00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:03,800 Speaker 3: that doesn't make sense. What good is that going to 173 00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:07,160 Speaker 3: do to just transfer the oil from one container to 174 00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:10,559 Speaker 3: the other. But instead of talking herself out of it, 175 00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:13,920 Speaker 3: she poured that little bit of oil and kept pouring 176 00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:17,600 Speaker 3: and pouring and pouring. She couldn't believe it. She filled 177 00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:21,839 Speaker 3: up the first empty container, then another, and another. The 178 00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:25,480 Speaker 3: oil never ran out until all the containers were full. 179 00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:29,079 Speaker 3: She sold the oil, not only had enough to pay 180 00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:32,200 Speaker 3: the creditors, but she had plenty left over to live 181 00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:35,360 Speaker 3: off of. But none of this would have happened if 182 00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:38,640 Speaker 3: she had not been willing to do something that didn't 183 00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:43,000 Speaker 3: make sense. Are you missing your miracle because you're reasoning 184 00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:46,559 Speaker 3: everything out? You're looking at it all in the natural. 185 00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:50,520 Speaker 3: God is supernatural. He'll ask you to do things that 186 00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:55,240 Speaker 3: you may not understand. After Moses died, God raised up 187 00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:59,920 Speaker 3: Joshua to lead the Israelites. The earlier generation never made 188 00:10:59,960 --> 00:11:04,040 Speaker 3: it into the Promised Land. Because they complained and doubted, 189 00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:07,880 Speaker 3: they wandered in the desert for forty years. Now the 190 00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:12,120 Speaker 3: children of that generation had grown up. Joshua was their 191 00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:15,440 Speaker 3: new leader. They were headed to the Promised Land, but 192 00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:18,480 Speaker 3: they had to cross the Jordan River. There were no 193 00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:21,920 Speaker 3: bridges in that day. The problem was it was the 194 00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:26,720 Speaker 3: rainy season and the Jordan was in floodstage. It was 195 00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:30,920 Speaker 3: over one hundred and fifty feet wide, with violent currents 196 00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:35,640 Speaker 3: rushing down from the melting snow. Joshua was familiar with 197 00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:38,560 Speaker 3: this type of scene as a young man. He was 198 00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:41,400 Speaker 3: there when Moses held up his staff and the Red 199 00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:45,000 Speaker 3: Sea parted. He had seen God make a way. When 200 00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:48,320 Speaker 3: these two million people came to the Jordan River and 201 00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:51,920 Speaker 3: saw how swollen it was and how strong the currents were, 202 00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:54,439 Speaker 3: they didn't want to have anything to do with it. 203 00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:59,200 Speaker 3: I can imagine Joshua did like his mentor Moses. He 204 00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:02,000 Speaker 3: held up his raw God and said, Lord, please let 205 00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:06,840 Speaker 3: these waters part. Everyone was watching with great anticipation, but 206 00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:10,800 Speaker 3: nothing happened. Joshua thought, God, this is my first test 207 00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:13,960 Speaker 3: to show these people that you're really with me. Don't 208 00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:18,560 Speaker 3: leave me hanging here. God, promised Joshua, as I was 209 00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:22,280 Speaker 3: with Moses, I will be with you. He didn't say, 210 00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:25,640 Speaker 3: I'm going to do for you everything I did for Moses. 211 00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:30,679 Speaker 3: God does things different ways. You have a unique anointing. 212 00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:34,320 Speaker 3: There's a distinct calling on your life. You don't have 213 00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:37,120 Speaker 3: to copy someone else. Try to be what they are. 214 00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:40,880 Speaker 3: Prove your worth, Prove that you measure up. Walk in 215 00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:45,280 Speaker 3: your own anointing, Walk in your own calling. The Jordan 216 00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:49,920 Speaker 3: river didn't part. Joshua had to make a decision. Are 217 00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:53,280 Speaker 3: we going to turn around and go back wonder more 218 00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:56,319 Speaker 3: in the desert, or are we going to keep walking. 219 00:12:57,120 --> 00:13:01,360 Speaker 3: Joshua's attitude was, we've come too far to stop now. God, 220 00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:04,120 Speaker 3: you wouldn't have promised us this land if you weren't 221 00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:07,760 Speaker 3: going to give us the victory. Instead of turning back, 222 00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:11,520 Speaker 3: Joshua put the priest out in front. He told all 223 00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:15,320 Speaker 3: the people, let's keep walking. I can hear them say, 224 00:13:15,400 --> 00:13:19,040 Speaker 3: excuse me, Joshua, do you not see there's a violent, 225 00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:22,199 Speaker 3: raging river a few hundred feet in front of us. 226 00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:26,360 Speaker 3: There's nowhere to go. Joshua acted like he didn't hear them. 227 00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:31,120 Speaker 3: His instructions were keep on walking. There will always be 228 00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:34,560 Speaker 3: people that try to convince you to turn back. Your 229 00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:39,080 Speaker 3: dream is too big, the opposition too strong. Nothing's working out. 230 00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:42,760 Speaker 3: Just accept it. You have to do like Joshua and 231 00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:45,680 Speaker 3: have a made up mind. I'm going to keep walking. 232 00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:48,640 Speaker 3: I'm going to become all I was created to be. 233 00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:52,560 Speaker 3: The priest got right up to the water. It was 234 00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:56,480 Speaker 3: do or die, now or never, But the waters still 235 00:13:56,520 --> 00:14:00,520 Speaker 3: didn't part. They looked back at Joshua one last time, thinking, 236 00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:04,040 Speaker 3: surely he's going to retreat now, surely he'll come to 237 00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:09,120 Speaker 3: his senses. Joshua answered with three simple words, keep on walking. 238 00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:13,319 Speaker 3: The scripture says when the priests got in the water, 239 00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:17,520 Speaker 3: when their feet got wet, suddenly the waters begin to 240 00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:21,880 Speaker 3: push back. All two million people went through on dry ground. 241 00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:27,320 Speaker 3: Miracles happen when there's obedience. God doesn't give us all 242 00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:30,320 Speaker 3: the details. He doesn't show you how it's going to 243 00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:33,800 Speaker 3: work out. May not happen like you've seen happen with 244 00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:37,680 Speaker 3: your family. There may not be any sign of things changing, 245 00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:41,640 Speaker 3: Like Joshua. Every circumstance may say it's not going to 246 00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:45,960 Speaker 3: turn around, go back. No use believing for your dreams. 247 00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:49,120 Speaker 3: It's too late, you'll never get well. It would have happened. 248 00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:54,360 Speaker 3: By now, don't believe those lies. Keep walking. God is 249 00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:58,680 Speaker 3: not moved by what's not moving. He's not intimidated by 250 00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:02,200 Speaker 3: waters that aren't party, by how big the obstacle is, 251 00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:06,800 Speaker 3: by how impossible it looks. In fact, many times God 252 00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:10,600 Speaker 3: will wait on purpose till the river is in flood stage. 253 00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:14,040 Speaker 3: He'll wait till the experts say there's no way, the 254 00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:17,200 Speaker 3: odds are against you. So when he turns it around, 255 00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:22,160 Speaker 3: everyone will know it was his favor, his power, his goodness. 256 00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:25,720 Speaker 3: In your life, you may have situations you don't see 257 00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:28,960 Speaker 3: how it can work out, in your health, your finances, 258 00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:33,760 Speaker 3: your relationships. You're tempted to quit believing. If Joshua were 259 00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:37,800 Speaker 3: here today, he would tell you keep walking. You're on 260 00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:41,160 Speaker 3: the verge of a miracle. Those waters are about to 261 00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:44,560 Speaker 3: open up. Now. You may have to get your feet wet. 262 00:15:45,240 --> 00:15:48,880 Speaker 3: May not happen like with Moses, where the waters part first, 263 00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:52,200 Speaker 3: you can see your way clearly. You know exactly how 264 00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:56,040 Speaker 3: it's going to work out. Sometimes God waits to see 265 00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:59,800 Speaker 3: if you're going to trust him when the waters haven't parted. 266 00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:02,760 Speaker 3: Are you going to believe when you don't see any 267 00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:05,840 Speaker 3: sign of things changing, You don't feel like you have 268 00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:11,280 Speaker 3: the strength, the courage, the ability if you'll just keep walking, praying, 269 00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:14,880 Speaker 3: expecting doors are going to open that you couldn't open. 270 00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:18,760 Speaker 3: Healing that defies the odds, freedom from things that have 271 00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:22,440 Speaker 3: held you back. Some Jordan rivers are about to part. 272 00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:26,200 Speaker 3: Things you've been standing in faith for for a long time. 273 00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:28,680 Speaker 3: It's about to come to pass. It's not going to 274 00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:31,320 Speaker 3: be ordinary. It's going to be the hand of God. 275 00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:36,120 Speaker 3: When God parted the Red Sea for Moses, the water's open. 276 00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:40,120 Speaker 3: Before the people went through, they could see their way clearly. 277 00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:43,520 Speaker 3: It was a great miracle. But that doesn't take as 278 00:16:43,600 --> 00:16:46,880 Speaker 3: much faith when you know where the funds are coming from. 279 00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:51,520 Speaker 3: The medical report's good. Your child is excelling. Those people 280 00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:55,240 Speaker 3: wandered in the desert for forty years. But when God 281 00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:58,760 Speaker 3: parted the Jordan River for Joshua, when the people had 282 00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:01,800 Speaker 3: to get their feet wet and keep walking when it 283 00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:05,120 Speaker 3: didn't look like it was working, that group of people 284 00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:09,879 Speaker 3: made it into their promised land. I believe it's significant 285 00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:13,360 Speaker 3: when you don't see how it can work out, but 286 00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:17,200 Speaker 3: you keep walking, you keep believing, you keep being good 287 00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:21,480 Speaker 3: to people. That means you're about to enter your promised land. 288 00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:25,120 Speaker 3: God is setting you up to go where you've never been, 289 00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:29,399 Speaker 3: to see favor you've never seen. Now, don't complain because 290 00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:32,600 Speaker 3: the water is not parting. That doesn't mean God is 291 00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:35,119 Speaker 3: not going to do it. That's a sign that what 292 00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:39,560 Speaker 3: He's up to is bigger than you've imagined. You may 293 00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:43,080 Speaker 3: be at the Jordan River right now, nothing is changing. 294 00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:46,440 Speaker 3: God is waiting to see. Are you going to turn 295 00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:50,240 Speaker 3: around and go back? Joel? I prayed, I believe, but 296 00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:53,200 Speaker 3: my dreams didn't come to pass. These people at work 297 00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:57,000 Speaker 3: stopped me. I couldn't break the addiction. The waters didn't part. 298 00:17:57,400 --> 00:18:00,840 Speaker 3: You're right where Joshua was. Didn't work the first time. 299 00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:05,800 Speaker 3: The obstacle looks impassable. The river is swollen. The problem 300 00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:08,879 Speaker 3: bigger than it's ever been. That's a test. You have 301 00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:12,480 Speaker 3: to get your feet wet. If you'll keep walking, you're 302 00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:15,320 Speaker 3: going to see God open up things you never dreamed 303 00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:19,240 Speaker 3: would open, turn problems around you never dream would turn around. 304 00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:23,639 Speaker 3: That Jordan River is setting you up for your promised land. 305 00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:28,480 Speaker 3: David said, I was young. Now I'm old, and I've 306 00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:32,000 Speaker 3: never seen the righteous forsaken. He was saying, in effect, 307 00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:35,640 Speaker 3: I've never seen a Jordan River. God won't part. I've 308 00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:38,360 Speaker 3: never seen a sickness that he won't heal. I've never 309 00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:41,880 Speaker 3: seen a dream that he won't bring to pass. When 310 00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:45,080 Speaker 3: we were trying to acquire the Compact Center, God gave 311 00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:48,159 Speaker 3: us favor and the city councils voted for us to 312 00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:51,080 Speaker 3: have the building. It was a year and a half process. 313 00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:54,879 Speaker 3: Council members that were against us suddenly changed their mind 314 00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:59,320 Speaker 3: and the facility was ours. Like Moses, we prayed, we 315 00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:03,240 Speaker 3: believed God parted the Red Sea. We were grateful, We 316 00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:05,880 Speaker 3: knew it was the hand of God. But a few 317 00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:09,280 Speaker 3: days later a company filed a lawsuit to try to 318 00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:12,560 Speaker 3: keep us from moving in. They said that we violated 319 00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:16,280 Speaker 3: the deed restrictions. Our attorneys told us it could be 320 00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:19,000 Speaker 3: tied up in the courts for ten years. It was 321 00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:22,240 Speaker 3: like a roller coaster. We went from this great celebration 322 00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:25,959 Speaker 3: to the reality that it may not ever work out. 323 00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:30,119 Speaker 3: It's times like these where you don't see away. The 324 00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:34,000 Speaker 3: opposition is bigger and stronger that you see what you're 325 00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:38,360 Speaker 3: made of. It's easy to believe when God parts red seas, 326 00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:40,919 Speaker 3: but what do you do when you come to the 327 00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:44,960 Speaker 3: Jordan River. You prayed, you believe, but it didn't part. 328 00:19:45,480 --> 00:19:48,320 Speaker 3: You held up your rod like your mentor, you did 329 00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:51,840 Speaker 3: what your parents did, but nothing happened. Are you going 330 00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:54,320 Speaker 3: to get your feet wet? Are you going to keep 331 00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:57,399 Speaker 3: walking even though thoughts tell you it's not going to 332 00:19:57,480 --> 00:20:00,640 Speaker 3: work out. You might as well turn around. After all, 333 00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:03,719 Speaker 3: God's been good to you. Be grateful for what you have. 334 00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:07,879 Speaker 3: Don't let the enemy talk you out of your promised land. 335 00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:12,000 Speaker 3: God has bigger things in your future. He has new 336 00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:15,720 Speaker 3: mountains for you to climb. Keep walking when the waters 337 00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:19,880 Speaker 3: aren't parting, keep walking when you're not being promoted, keep 338 00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:23,919 Speaker 3: walking when your health isn't improving, when the pandemic seems 339 00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:27,480 Speaker 3: like gets stopped your dreams. The reason you're facing a 340 00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:31,639 Speaker 3: Jordan River at flood stage, not just a normal river, 341 00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:36,240 Speaker 3: but the obstacle is bigger, more stubborn, is because your 342 00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:40,120 Speaker 3: promised land is on the other side. You don't come 343 00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:43,520 Speaker 3: to Jordan rivers rivers. You have to get your feet wet. 344 00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:48,240 Speaker 3: If it's just another ordinary victory, something common. The Jordan 345 00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:51,320 Speaker 3: means God is about to thrust you to a new level. 346 00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:54,480 Speaker 3: I woke up many times in the middle of the 347 00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:57,879 Speaker 3: night when we were in that lawsuit with thoughts telling 348 00:20:57,960 --> 00:21:01,760 Speaker 3: me you better turn around. You've told people that it's 349 00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:04,960 Speaker 3: you're building. You're raising funds for it. When you have 350 00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:07,159 Speaker 3: to give it back, you're going to look like a fool. 351 00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:12,080 Speaker 3: Nobody's going to listen to you. All these voices saying retreat, 352 00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:15,760 Speaker 3: it didn't part. If God was for you, you wouldn't 353 00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:18,560 Speaker 3: have this opposition. If it was going to work out, 354 00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:22,160 Speaker 3: you wouldn't have this lawsuit. Now, God being for you 355 00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:26,119 Speaker 3: doesn't mean you won't have opposition. The enemy wouldn't be 356 00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:29,359 Speaker 3: trying to stop you if you weren't a threat to him. 357 00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:33,600 Speaker 3: He doesn't come against people that don't have great destinies. 358 00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:37,879 Speaker 3: The reason you're facing big giants is because you're at 359 00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:40,840 Speaker 3: the Jordan River. You're about to come in to your 360 00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:45,080 Speaker 3: promised land. I didn't see how this lawsuit could ever resolve. 361 00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:48,800 Speaker 3: The other side was stubborn, but I did what I'm 362 00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:52,439 Speaker 3: asking us to do. I kept on walking when thoughts 363 00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:56,680 Speaker 3: told me it would never work out. This company is bigger, stronger, 364 00:21:56,880 --> 00:22:00,760 Speaker 3: more influential. Father. Thank you that you're fighting our battles. 365 00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:03,520 Speaker 3: Thank you that you being for us is more than 366 00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:07,800 Speaker 3: the world being against us. Our attorneys told us the 367 00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:11,040 Speaker 3: other side would probably pay us a large sum of 368 00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:14,639 Speaker 3: money for us to go away. They threw out numbers 369 00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:18,680 Speaker 3: that we could practically build another facility, but we didn't 370 00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:22,399 Speaker 3: want the money. We wanted the building. This building is 371 00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:25,240 Speaker 3: one of the main landmarks in the city of Houston. 372 00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:28,280 Speaker 3: Two million people of year came through it. It's on 373 00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:32,119 Speaker 3: the main freeway, has great access. We could have thought, 374 00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:35,720 Speaker 3: let's just be safe, we may not win. Let's take 375 00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:39,479 Speaker 3: the funds and go do something else. But God doesn't 376 00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:42,960 Speaker 3: want you to water down your dream, to take less 377 00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:45,560 Speaker 3: than what you know is in your heart. And there 378 00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:49,000 Speaker 3: will always be people trying to convince you to settle. 379 00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:53,840 Speaker 3: Just accept it. You'll never get well, never break the addiction, 380 00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:57,280 Speaker 3: never get out of this neighborhood. No, don't water down 381 00:22:57,359 --> 00:23:00,760 Speaker 3: your dream. You may be at the Jordan. Your feet 382 00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:03,879 Speaker 3: are wet, but nothing is parting. It looks like you 383 00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:07,640 Speaker 3: could drown. God has not failed in the past. He's 384 00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:11,760 Speaker 3: not going to start with you. Keep on walking, believing, praying, 385 00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:16,080 Speaker 3: doing the right things. Waters are about to part, doors 386 00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:19,200 Speaker 3: are about to open, Problems are about to turn around. 387 00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:23,560 Speaker 3: Instead of you retreating, the opposition is going to retreat. 388 00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:27,840 Speaker 3: The waters are going to push back, the sickness, the debt. 389 00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:31,400 Speaker 3: The trouble is about to push back. God is going 390 00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:34,720 Speaker 3: to make a way where you don't see away. The 391 00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:37,880 Speaker 3: scripture tells us to put on the armor of God, 392 00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:42,400 Speaker 3: talks about the helmet of salvation, the breastplate of righteousness, 393 00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:45,439 Speaker 3: the belt of truth, the shoes of peace, the shield 394 00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:50,560 Speaker 3: of faith. What's interesting is there's no armor for your backside. 395 00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:54,440 Speaker 3: There's nothing to cover you from the rear. That's because 396 00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:58,480 Speaker 3: you weren't created to retreat. You weren't created to run 397 00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:03,399 Speaker 3: from opposition. You have armor for one direction, to keep 398 00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:07,440 Speaker 3: moving forward. When you stand strong and fight the good 399 00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:11,639 Speaker 3: fight of faith, opposition will run from you. Psal one 400 00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:16,560 Speaker 3: fourteen says the Red sea saw the Israelites and hurried 401 00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:19,520 Speaker 3: out of their way. God is going to part some 402 00:24:19,680 --> 00:24:22,960 Speaker 3: waters quickly. Looks like it's going to take a long 403 00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:26,520 Speaker 3: time to get well, long time to accomplish the dream, 404 00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:29,280 Speaker 3: a long time to get out of debt. No, get ready, 405 00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:32,520 Speaker 3: It's going to happen sooner than you think. God is 406 00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:37,159 Speaker 3: going to cause those waters, that opposition, that depression, to 407 00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:41,000 Speaker 3: hurry out of your way. One day, out of the blue, 408 00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:44,320 Speaker 3: the other side called and said they wanted to meet. 409 00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:47,680 Speaker 3: We hadn't spoken to them. In months, everything was at 410 00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:51,199 Speaker 3: a stalemate. They showed up and in that one meeting 411 00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:53,960 Speaker 3: changed their mind and said we could have the building. 412 00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:57,560 Speaker 3: They not only dropped the lawsuit, but they leased us 413 00:24:57,760 --> 00:25:01,560 Speaker 3: nine thousand covered parking space. We didn't have to build 414 00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:05,600 Speaker 3: our own parking structure. What happened. We came in to 415 00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:10,600 Speaker 3: our promised land. I wonder what awaits you if you'll 416 00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:14,240 Speaker 3: just keep walking when Joel, I have some big obstacles, 417 00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:17,480 Speaker 3: can I tell you we serve a big God. He 418 00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:21,879 Speaker 3: flung stars into space, He spoke worlds into existence. He 419 00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:25,040 Speaker 3: can get you to where you're supposed to be. The 420 00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:28,359 Speaker 3: medical report says, I'm not going to get well. God 421 00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:32,520 Speaker 3: can do what medicine cannot do. There's not a Jordan River. 422 00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:36,200 Speaker 3: He can't part that child. May be off course, making 423 00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:40,520 Speaker 3: bad choices. It looks permanent, but that is not his destiny. 424 00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:44,760 Speaker 3: What God started he's going to finish. You can stand 425 00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:48,160 Speaker 3: in the gap for your children. Yes, they make their 426 00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:52,480 Speaker 3: own decisions, but as parents, you have a God given authority. 427 00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:56,399 Speaker 3: When you pray, when you speak life, when you thank 428 00:25:56,440 --> 00:26:00,000 Speaker 3: God that forces of darkness are broken, Angels go to work. 429 00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:04,919 Speaker 3: Jordan Rivers are pushed back. God hears your prayers, He 430 00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:08,920 Speaker 3: sees your faithfulness, He sees you believing. When you don't 431 00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:12,600 Speaker 3: see things changing, thank in Him. When you could be complaining. 432 00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:17,000 Speaker 3: Your time is coming, some waters are about to part. 433 00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:20,200 Speaker 3: You wouldn't be hearing this if God didn't have breakthroughs 434 00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:23,280 Speaker 3: come in your way. Just because your feet are wet, 435 00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:27,080 Speaker 3: just because you don't see anything improving, doesn't mean that 436 00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:30,560 Speaker 3: it's not going to happen. God is watching you, and 437 00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:33,960 Speaker 3: at the right time, things are going to change. The 438 00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:37,879 Speaker 3: miracle is a process. It takes time, but when you 439 00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:42,199 Speaker 3: come into your moment, suddenly things will turn around. My 440 00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:46,640 Speaker 3: challenge is stay in faith until you see the suddenly 441 00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:51,240 Speaker 3: keep on walking. The enemy always talks the loudest when 442 00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:54,359 Speaker 3: you're close to the water's party. Tune out all the 443 00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:58,040 Speaker 3: negative voices and tune in what God promised. He has 444 00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:01,280 Speaker 3: spoken it and he will bring it to He wouldn't 445 00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:04,720 Speaker 3: let you face a Jordan river where your promised land 446 00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:07,320 Speaker 3: is on the other side, if that was going to 447 00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:10,560 Speaker 3: keep you from your purpose. The reason you can't see 448 00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:13,880 Speaker 3: away is because it's not going to happen naturally. God 449 00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:16,760 Speaker 3: is going to do it supernaturally. Things that you couldn't 450 00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:20,080 Speaker 3: make happen. Don't try to figure it out. Just keep believing, 451 00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:24,640 Speaker 3: keep expecting, keep doing the right thing. I believe and declare. 452 00:27:25,040 --> 00:27:28,560 Speaker 3: As you keep on walking like these lepers, You're going 453 00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:33,560 Speaker 3: to see healing, favor promotion. Like Joshua, waters are about 454 00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:37,119 Speaker 3: to part, new doors are about to open, Obstacles are 455 00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:39,920 Speaker 3: about to come down. You're going to make it into 456 00:27:39,960 --> 00:27:44,399 Speaker 3: your promised land in Jesus' name. Well, I'd like to 457 00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:47,439 Speaker 3: give you an opportunity to make Jesus the Lord of 458 00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:51,680 Speaker 3: your life. Would you pray with me? Just say, Lord, Jesus, 459 00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:56,080 Speaker 3: I repent of my sins, Come into my heart. I 460 00:27:56,280 --> 00:27:59,639 Speaker 3: make you my Lord and savior. If you prayed that 461 00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:03,560 Speaker 3: simple prayer, we believe you got born again. We'd love 462 00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:05,880 Speaker 3: to give you some free information on your new walk 463 00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:08,439 Speaker 3: with the Lord.
