Speaker 5: again for coming out today. And I like to start

45
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:17,200
Speaker 5: with something funny and I.

46
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:18,280
Speaker 6: Heard about this pastor.

47
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 5: He was asked to inform a member of his congregation

48
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:26,080
Speaker 5: who had a heart condition that he had just inherited

49
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:29,760
Speaker 5: ten million dollars. They were concerned because of the shock

50
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:32,760
Speaker 5: that he might have a heart attack. The pastor said, sir,

51
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:36,680
Speaker 5: what would you do if you inherited ten million dollars? Men,

52
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:39,239
Speaker 5: said Pastor, the first thing I do is give half

53
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:42,079
Speaker 5: of it to the church. At that point, the pastor

54
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:43,840
Speaker 5: fell over dead.

55
00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 6: Hold up your Bible, say it like you mean it.

56
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:50,639
Speaker 5: This is my Bible. I am what it says I am.

57
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:53,400
Speaker 5: I have what it says I have. I can do

58
00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:54,360
Speaker 5: what it says.

59
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:54,639
Speaker 6: I can do.

60
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:57,840
Speaker 5: Today I will be taught the word of God. I

61
00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:01,960
Speaker 5: boldly confess. My mind is alert, my heart is receptive.

62
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:05,960
Speaker 5: I will never be the same. In Jesus's name, God

63
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:09,440
Speaker 5: bless you. I want to talk to you today about

64
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:13,840
Speaker 5: an expected end. I was with a well known actor

65
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:16,920
Speaker 5: a few years ago, and he not only stars in

66
00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:21,000
Speaker 5: major movies, he writes them. We walked into this room

67
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:25,640
Speaker 5: that had a large glass wall overlooking his property. There

68
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:29,120
Speaker 5: were all these five y seven index cards stuck up

69
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 5: on the wall, probably one hundred.

70
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:31,600
Speaker 6: And fifty of them.

71
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:35,240
Speaker 5: He explained how he was writing a movie, and those

72
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:39,760
Speaker 5: were all the different scenes. He studies them, moves things around,

73
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:43,520
Speaker 5: adds a scene here, takes away a scene there. He told,

74
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:46,720
Speaker 5: to have a good movie, you need ups and downs,

75
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 5: conflicts and victories, good characters and bad, twists and turns.

76
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:55,880
Speaker 5: And while it was very fascinating, it was very confusing.

77
00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 5: It looks so complicated. I said to him, how do

78
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:03,120
Speaker 5: you even know where to start. He said, ah, that's

79
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:07,800
Speaker 5: the easy part. You always start with your final scene.

80
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:10,880
Speaker 5: You have to decide how you want the movie to end.

81
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 5: Once you establish the ending, then you work backwards and

82
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:17,520
Speaker 5: fill in all the details, he said.

83
00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:19,000
Speaker 6: In fact, in a lot.

84
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:24,280
Speaker 5: Of movies, you don't shoot insequential orders. Sometimes you shoot

85
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 5: the final scene first and then you shoot the rest

86
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:31,159
Speaker 5: of the movie. This is what God has done for

87
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:34,880
Speaker 5: each one of us. The scripture says, God.

88
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:37,120
Speaker 6: Declares the end from the beginning.

89
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:41,680
Speaker 5: When God planned out your life, he started with your

90
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:42,960
Speaker 5: final scene.

91
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:45,640
Speaker 6: He started with where he wants you to end up.

92
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:47,320
Speaker 6: Then he worked backwards.

93
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:52,840
Speaker 5: Jeremiah said, God's plans for you are for good and

94
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:58,680
Speaker 5: not harm, to give you an expected end. Your end

95
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:03,680
Speaker 5: has already been established. Your final scene has already been

96
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:07,560
Speaker 5: shot the good news. You don't end in defeat, end

97
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:11,479
Speaker 5: in failure, end in disappointment. You end in victory. You

98
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:15,360
Speaker 5: end is more than a conquer You end fulfilling your purpose.

99
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:20,600
Speaker 6: When you understand your end has been established.

100
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:24,440
Speaker 5: You won't go through life discourage because of a disappointment,

101
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:27,919
Speaker 5: bitter because of a loss, frustrated because a.

102
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:29,360
Speaker 6: Dream hasn't come to pass.

103
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:33,560
Speaker 5: You'll stay in peace knowing that in the end it's

104
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:36,040
Speaker 5: all going to work out to your advantage.

105
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:37,360
Speaker 6: But here's the key.

106
00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:41,560
Speaker 5: Like any good movie, there will be twist in turns.

107
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:44,880
Speaker 5: You think, I know I'm supposed to be going this way.

108
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:47,360
Speaker 5: Why am I going the opposite direction?

109
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:49,200
Speaker 6: My goal is over here?

110
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:52,479
Speaker 5: Why am I headed the wrong way? There will be

111
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:57,040
Speaker 5: scenes that on their own don't make sense. If you

112
00:05:57,120 --> 00:06:01,760
Speaker 5: stop right there, the divorce, the sickness, the loss would

113
00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:04,560
Speaker 5: look like didn't work for your good looks like it

114
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:05,359
Speaker 5: got the best of you.

115
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:10,599
Speaker 6: What you don't realize is that is not your final scene.

116
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:14,080
Speaker 5: As long as you're breathing, your movie is still going.

117
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:18,520
Speaker 5: You may be in a difficult scene right now, something

118
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:23,800
Speaker 5: you don't understand. Negative medical report, set back in your finances.

119
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:28,200
Speaker 6: You have to remind yourself. That is not how your

120
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:31,680
Speaker 6: story ends. You have an expected end.

121
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:36,200
Speaker 5: The creator of the universe, the most High God, has

122
00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:40,000
Speaker 5: planned your days for good, not harm. If you'll keep

123
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:44,200
Speaker 5: moving forward, at some point you'll come into another twist,

124
00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:48,159
Speaker 5: but this time a good break, a promotion, a healing.

125
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:52,479
Speaker 5: God knows how to weave it all together. Your end

126
00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:57,000
Speaker 5: has already been established. We see this principle in the

127
00:06:57,040 --> 00:07:01,880
Speaker 5: life of Joseph. God destined him to become a great leader,

128
00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:05,680
Speaker 5: to rule a nation, to help the Israelites during a

129
00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:07,039
Speaker 5: time of famine.

130
00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:08,240
Speaker 6: That was his end.

131
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:13,080
Speaker 5: It had already been established. And Joseph started off well.

132
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:16,520
Speaker 5: It's a young man. He was his father's favorite child,

133
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:20,320
Speaker 5: went around wearing that coat of many colors, the coat

134
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:25,360
Speaker 5: that represented favor. But at seventeen years of age, Joseph's

135
00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:27,280
Speaker 5: life had an unusual twist.

136
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:29,600
Speaker 6: His brothers were jealous.

137
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:33,920
Speaker 5: They sold him into slavery. He could have become discouraged

138
00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:37,080
Speaker 5: and thought, must not have heard God write he showed

139
00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:39,000
Speaker 5: me a dream that I'd rule a nation, But it

140
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:43,920
Speaker 5: sure didn't happen. Now Joseph understood this principle. He knew

141
00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:47,600
Speaker 5: that was just one sin. He knew his end had

142
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:52,000
Speaker 5: already been established, so he kept being his best. He

143
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:55,840
Speaker 5: was lied about, falsely accused. They put him in prison,

144
00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:59,840
Speaker 5: another unusual twist. It looked like he.

145
00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:03,840
Speaker 6: Was moving away from his destiny. This is the real

146
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:04,960
Speaker 6: test of life.

147
00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:08,520
Speaker 5: Will you stay in faith when you're doing the right

148
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:12,360
Speaker 5: thing but the wrong thing is happening. Will you continue

149
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:15,280
Speaker 5: being your best even when you're not getting the credit.

150
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:19,360
Speaker 5: Will you stay passionate even though the door closed, you

151
00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:22,760
Speaker 5: didn't get the promotion, you think you're moving the wrong way.

152
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:28,400
Speaker 5: This is where Joseph excelled in prison. He didn't fall apart.

153
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:32,840
Speaker 5: He kept doing the right thing. Thirteen years after he

154
00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:37,240
Speaker 5: was sold into slavery, he interpreted a dream for the pharaoh.

155
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:40,960
Speaker 5: Pharaoh was so impressed that he brought him out of

156
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:43,800
Speaker 5: prison and put him in charge of the whole nation.

157
00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:47,360
Speaker 5: He saw his dream come to pass, He saw the

158
00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:51,960
Speaker 5: expected end. If Joseph were standing here today, he would

159
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:55,840
Speaker 5: tell you, don't get discouraged by the detours, by the

160
00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:59,679
Speaker 5: twist of life, by the things you don't understand. They

161
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:05,120
Speaker 5: are all necessary scenes in your movie. By themselves, they

162
00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:08,640
Speaker 5: may not make sense, but when God brings it all together,

163
00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:10,920
Speaker 5: you two will come out fulfilling.

164
00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:13,360
Speaker 6: Your purpose seeing what God has promised.

165
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:18,640
Speaker 5: But this is where many people get frustrated lose their passion, Joel.

166
00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:21,440
Speaker 5: If God was good, why did I have the bad break?

167
00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:23,760
Speaker 5: Why did I go through the loss? Why didn't my

168
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:28,040
Speaker 5: relationship make it? We may never understand why, but I

169
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:32,240
Speaker 5: can tell you this. God wouldn't have allowed it if

170
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:36,840
Speaker 5: it wasn't going to somehow work for your good. Nothing

171
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:40,199
Speaker 5: that's happened to you can keep you from your destiny.

172
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:43,920
Speaker 6: The only thing that can stop you is you.

173
00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:48,640
Speaker 5: If you get negative, bitter, lose your passion, that can

174
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:51,640
Speaker 5: keep you from God's best. And you may have had

175
00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:55,840
Speaker 5: unfair things happen, but I've learned the depth of your

176
00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:59,840
Speaker 5: pain is an indication of the height of your future.

177
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:03,600
Speaker 5: When construction workers are going to build a tall building,

178
00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:08,400
Speaker 5: they have to dig down many stories first for the foundation.

179
00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:13,280
Speaker 5: Taller the building, the deeper the foundation. When you go

180
00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:17,120
Speaker 5: through things that you don't understand, difficult situations, you may

181
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:21,040
Speaker 5: not like it, it may be uncomfortable, but God is

182
00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:25,520
Speaker 5: getting you prepared to take you higher than you ever imagine.

183
00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:28,840
Speaker 5: You may think it's there to defeat you, but God's

184
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:29,880
Speaker 5: going to use it.

185
00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:33,400
Speaker 6: To promote you. No bad break can stop you.

186
00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:37,079
Speaker 5: All the forces of darkness cannot hold you back.

187
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:38,680
Speaker 6: God has an.

188
00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:43,559
Speaker 5: Expected end for you. He's already established it. But again

189
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:47,280
Speaker 5: along the way, everything is not going to make sense.

190
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:49,640
Speaker 6: This is what faith is all about.

191
00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:54,720
Speaker 5: You have to trust that even in the twist of life,

192
00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:57,760
Speaker 5: in the things you don't understand, that God still knows

193
00:10:57,760 --> 00:11:01,360
Speaker 5: what he's doing. That even when, like Joseph, you know

194
00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:04,079
Speaker 5: God promised you one thing, but you're.

195
00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:07,160
Speaker 6: Seeing just the opposite, defeat, betrayal.

196
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:10,840
Speaker 5: That's when you have to dig your heels in and say, God,

197
00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:15,319
Speaker 5: I don't understand it, but I trust you. I believe

198
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:18,800
Speaker 5: your plans for me are for good, that you've already

199
00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:22,000
Speaker 5: shot my final sein You've already established my end.

200
00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:23,760
Speaker 6: So Lord, I want to thank you.

201
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:26,600
Speaker 5: That I will fulfill my purpose, that I will become

202
00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:30,600
Speaker 5: everything You've created me to be. I've heard it said

203
00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:35,040
Speaker 5: God always ends in all is well, So if all

204
00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:39,720
Speaker 5: is not well, that simply means it's not the end. Well,

205
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:42,440
Speaker 5: Joel is not well in my finances. I lost a

206
00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:43,640
Speaker 5: big client last week.

207
00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:47,160
Speaker 6: I'm discouraged. No, stay in peace. It's not the end.

208
00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:52,400
Speaker 5: That's just one scene. Favor is coming, promotion. Good breaks

209
00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:56,160
Speaker 5: are headed your way. If it's not well in your health,

210
00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:59,839
Speaker 5: don't settle there, think well, this is the way it's always.

211
00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:01,880
Speaker 6: Going to be. No another scene is coming.

212
00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:06,280
Speaker 5: God promises the number of your days he will fulfill.

213
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:09,360
Speaker 6: If it's not your time to go, you're not going

214
00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:09,719
Speaker 6: to go.

215
00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:14,319
Speaker 5: Maybe it's not well in a relationship, you went through

216
00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:17,760
Speaker 5: a breakup, You lonely, you don't think you'll ever meet

217
00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:22,280
Speaker 5: the right person. That's not the end, that one disappointment,

218
00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:26,640
Speaker 5: that one person that left. They can't change your ending.

219
00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:31,600
Speaker 5: They can't rewrite your movie. God has already established it.

220
00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:35,040
Speaker 5: They don't have that much power. God is already lined

221
00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:38,440
Speaker 5: up the person of your dreams, somebody better than you

222
00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:42,040
Speaker 5: can imagine. They're just a couple of scenes away, just

223
00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:45,840
Speaker 5: a matter of time before they show up. Isaiah said,

224
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:47,880
Speaker 5: what God has purposed?

225
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:51,920
Speaker 6: Who can annall? This means God has a purpose for

226
00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:53,920
Speaker 6: your life. He's planned out.

227
00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:58,120
Speaker 5: Your days, lined up your scenes, and established your ending.

228
00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:02,240
Speaker 5: Then it asked, who can sty God is saying, I

229
00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:06,839
Speaker 5: flung stars into space, I spoke worlds into existence. I'm

230
00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:10,800
Speaker 5: the all powerful creator of the universe. Now, who can

231
00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:14,800
Speaker 5: stop my plan for your life? Who can change your ending?

232
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:17,960
Speaker 5: People can't unfair situations can't.

233
00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:21,599
Speaker 6: Tragedy can't. God has the final say.

234
00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:25,120
Speaker 5: When you're on one of those detours, something that doesn't

235
00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:28,080
Speaker 5: make sense, you don't understand it, don't get upset.

236
00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:32,920
Speaker 6: It's just one scene when it all comes together. Like Joseph,

237
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:36,160
Speaker 6: it's going to work for your good. See.

238
00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:39,400
Speaker 5: If Joseph hadn't have been betrayed by his brothers, he

239
00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:42,040
Speaker 5: hadn't been sold into slavery, if he hadn't have been

240
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:44,960
Speaker 5: put into prison, he would have never made it to

241
00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:49,440
Speaker 5: his throne. Those were all necessary scenes on the way

242
00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:53,320
Speaker 5: to his established end. What am I saying, what you

243
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:57,080
Speaker 5: may think is a setback, is really a set up

244
00:13:57,440 --> 00:14:00,000
Speaker 5: for God to get you to the fullness of your destiny.

245
00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:03,720
Speaker 6: Now, we could either go through.

246
00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:08,360
Speaker 5: Life fighting everything we don't like, upset, bitter, offended, or

247
00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:11,840
Speaker 5: we can stay in peace, knowing that God is directing

248
00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:16,240
Speaker 5: our steps, and even the twist, the things we don't understand,

249
00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:20,520
Speaker 5: in the end, they will work to our advantage. Sometimes

250
00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:23,120
Speaker 5: when I'm traveling and not able to watch a ballgame

251
00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:25,840
Speaker 5: at home, I'll record it. A few weeks back, there

252
00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:28,760
Speaker 5: was an important basketball game on that I missed, and

253
00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:31,240
Speaker 5: I sat down the next week to watch it.

254
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:33,240
Speaker 6: And I already knew the outcome.

255
00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:35,840
Speaker 5: I mean, I'd seen all the highlights, read the news reports.

256
00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:39,560
Speaker 6: The team I was pulling for had won. But during the.

257
00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:44,120
Speaker 5: First quarter we played really badly, could hardly make a shot,

258
00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:48,040
Speaker 5: fell behind. I didn't get the least bit worried. I

259
00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:52,080
Speaker 5: sat there, calmly, enjoying the game. The next quarter, the

260
00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:55,080
Speaker 5: star player got in foul trouble, had to sit the bench.

261
00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:58,840
Speaker 5: We fell further behind. I didn't get up tight, came out.

262
00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:01,600
Speaker 5: The second half started off just as badly, couldn't do

263
00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:05,840
Speaker 5: anything right. Normally I would have been on edge, uptight, anxious,

264
00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:09,600
Speaker 5: wondering what's gonna happen. But since I knew the outcome,

265
00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:15,720
Speaker 5: it totally changed my perspective. In fact, the further behind

266
00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:19,160
Speaker 5: we fell, the more I thought, Wow, this is gonna

267
00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:21,960
Speaker 5: be some kind of comeback. I can't wait to see

268
00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:27,400
Speaker 5: what's gonna happen. All the worry, the anxiety was taken

269
00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:29,880
Speaker 5: away because of the expected end.

270
00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:31,200
Speaker 6: I knew we had won.

271
00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:35,800
Speaker 5: There are times in life when it looks like our opponents,

272
00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:39,960
Speaker 5: the depression, the sickness, the legal situation is getting the

273
00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:40,560
Speaker 5: best of us.

274
00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:44,680
Speaker 6: We're falling behind. It's easy to get discouraged.

275
00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:47,400
Speaker 5: Joel, I can't accomplish my dreams. The odds are against me.

276
00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:51,120
Speaker 5: I'll never get well. The medical reports too bad. Just

277
00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:54,640
Speaker 5: like this ballgame that was recorded. You have to remind

278
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:57,960
Speaker 5: yourself that the end has already been set.

279
00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:03,000
Speaker 6: And when you feel like you're falling by, you're outclassed, outsized, outnumbered.

280
00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:08,200
Speaker 5: Instead of being discouraged, had this new perspective that means

281
00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:11,840
Speaker 5: you're about to see a major comeback. Any moment, things

282
00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:15,240
Speaker 5: are gonna shift in your favor. A good break, a promotion,

283
00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:20,080
Speaker 5: a healing. God says he always causes you to triumph.

284
00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:22,720
Speaker 6: Not part of the time, not most of the time.

285
00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:25,600
Speaker 6: God's already lined up your victory parade.

286
00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:30,680
Speaker 5: He's already established your ending. Back in the nineteen seventies,

287
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:34,640
Speaker 5: a teenage girl in Iowa became pregnant with the son.

288
00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:39,440
Speaker 5: She was white, the father was black. Her parents told her,

289
00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:40,800
Speaker 5: you can't have this baby.

290
00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:44,160
Speaker 6: It's a mistake. It's never going to amount to anything.

291
00:16:44,680 --> 00:16:47,120
Speaker 6: You're not only gonna ruin your life, you're gonna ruin

292
00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:48,040
Speaker 6: the child's life.

293
00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:52,280
Speaker 5: They gave her an ultimatum either abort the baby or

294
00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:53,240
Speaker 5: move out of the house.

295
00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:55,840
Speaker 6: She wanted to have her child.

296
00:16:56,000 --> 00:17:00,880
Speaker 5: So she left home alone, headed for California, no money,

297
00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:02,479
Speaker 5: no future.

298
00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:02,640
Speaker 6: To speak of.

299
00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:07,320
Speaker 5: She ended up on drugs, struggling to survive. One day,

300
00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:11,159
Speaker 5: at seventeen years old, standing on a street corner, a

301
00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:14,560
Speaker 5: lady came up and handed her a bible, talked to

302
00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:18,320
Speaker 5: her about having peace with God. Right there, she gave

303
00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:22,000
Speaker 5: her life to Christ. She opened her Bible. The first

304
00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:25,400
Speaker 5: word she saw was Israel. She said, that's what I'm

305
00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:29,679
Speaker 5: going to name my baby, Israel. This little boy was

306
00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:32,480
Speaker 5: born with all the odds against him.

307
00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:35,600
Speaker 6: He couldn't do anything great. He didn't have any kind

308
00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:36,160
Speaker 6: of future.

309
00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:40,600
Speaker 5: But when God breathed his life into you, he established

310
00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:44,200
Speaker 5: your end. First, he gave you a purpose, He set

311
00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:49,040
Speaker 5: your assignment. Then he put in you everything you need

312
00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:50,720
Speaker 5: to fulfill your destiny.

313
00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:54,240
Speaker 6: He's given you the gifts, the talents, the confidence.

314
00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:59,119
Speaker 5: How you start is not important. Don't let what you

315
00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:03,119
Speaker 5: think is a limit a disadvantage. If I was a

316
00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:06,520
Speaker 5: different nationality, Joel, I come from the wrong side of

317
00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:07,280
Speaker 5: the neighborhood.

318
00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:09,199
Speaker 6: There's dysfunction in my family.

319
00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:13,600
Speaker 5: That's how you started, That's not how you're going to finish.

320
00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:17,719
Speaker 5: The beginning does not determine your destiny.

321
00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:23,280
Speaker 6: That's just one scene. What matters is the expected end.

322
00:18:24,080 --> 00:18:27,760
Speaker 5: The creator of the universe has already destined you.

323
00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:29,840
Speaker 6: To leave your mark on this generation.

324
00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:35,080
Speaker 5: He's already put seeds of greatness in you. God loves

325
00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:38,480
Speaker 5: to take people who start off with all the odds

326
00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:43,120
Speaker 5: against them and shine down his favor, promote them, give

327
00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:45,840
Speaker 5: them good breaks to where they rise up and do

328
00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:50,680
Speaker 5: extraordinary things. This is what happened with my father. He

329
00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:54,159
Speaker 5: was raised in a very poor family. They had no money,

330
00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:58,639
Speaker 5: He had no education, no future. That's where he started,

331
00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:02,240
Speaker 5: but that's not where he feinnled his expected end.

332
00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:04,800
Speaker 6: His final scene.

333
00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:07,600
Speaker 5: Was pastoring a great church, having a ministry that touched

334
00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:11,679
Speaker 5: the world. Don't let how you were raised, what you

335
00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:15,600
Speaker 5: didn't get, what you think is a disadvantage cause you

336
00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:20,119
Speaker 5: to settle where you are. The established end is not

337
00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:21,480
Speaker 5: dependent on the beginning.

338
00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:25,040
Speaker 6: This young boy Israel could have grown up with.

339
00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:30,400
Speaker 5: A defeated mindset, inferior chip on his shoulder, thinking why

340
00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:33,000
Speaker 5: was I born into this family? Why don't I have

341
00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:36,240
Speaker 5: a dad? Why my half white half black? What can

342
00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:39,720
Speaker 5: I become today? You can become the president of the

343
00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:45,120
Speaker 5: United States. It's not how you shark, it's how you finish.

344
00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:49,520
Speaker 5: If you will keep honoring God being your best, you

345
00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:53,720
Speaker 5: are moving toward the destiny He has designed for you.

346
00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:57,760
Speaker 5: It's bigger than you can imagine. It's more rewarding than

347
00:19:57,760 --> 00:20:03,520
Speaker 5: you've ever dreamed. Child, this boy Israel discovered that he

348
00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:07,880
Speaker 5: had a gift and ability to play instruments, to write songs,

349
00:20:07,920 --> 00:20:11,840
Speaker 5: to write music, to sing. Now, this child that some

350
00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:15,119
Speaker 5: people didn't want born, this little boy that some people

351
00:20:15,160 --> 00:20:18,080
Speaker 5: thought would be a mistake, has become one of the

352
00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:21,240
Speaker 5: great worship leaders of our time, our own Israel Holten

353
00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:22,240
Speaker 5: right here.

354
00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:25,960
Speaker 6: He's won many Grammys.

355
00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:30,840
Speaker 5: All kinds of awards, goes all over the world cheering his.

356
00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:31,960
Speaker 6: Gifts with others.

357
00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:36,879
Speaker 5: Israel, you better be thankful of your mother's first words

358
00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:41,680
Speaker 5: she saw wasn't never kanezar? Instead, Israel? How about never kanezar?

359
00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:46,800
Speaker 5: In New Breed, Here's what I'm saying. Get rid of

360
00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:50,239
Speaker 5: the excuses. You may have had a rough start, but

361
00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:53,119
Speaker 5: you're not gonna have a rough finish. Somebody may have

362
00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:55,720
Speaker 5: put you at a disadvantage, but they did.

363
00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:57,760
Speaker 6: Not change your expected end.

364
00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:01,600
Speaker 5: Paul said in Philippians, God will bring us to a

365
00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:06,400
Speaker 5: flourishing finish, not a defeated finish, a mediocre finish, a

366
00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:10,000
Speaker 5: lonely finish, a bankrupt finish. You'll come into a victorious

367
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:14,160
Speaker 5: finish and a flourishing finish when thoughts tell you otherwise.

368
00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:15,800
Speaker 6: You'll hear things like.

369
00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:19,520
Speaker 5: You have too many disadvantages, you're too far behind, or

370
00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:22,680
Speaker 5: you've made too many mistakes. Let those lies go in

371
00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:25,560
Speaker 5: one ear and out the other. God is saying, I'm

372
00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:28,520
Speaker 5: gonna take you further than you can imagine. I have

373
00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:33,119
Speaker 5: explosive blessings that can catapult you ahead. I have favor

374
00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:36,080
Speaker 5: that can thrust you into your destiny. I'm gonna bring

375
00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:40,399
Speaker 5: out those seeds of greatness that I put on the inside.

376
00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:44,520
Speaker 5: God has established your end. You can be certain he

377
00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:47,600
Speaker 5: knows how to get you there. Now our part all

378
00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:49,480
Speaker 5: through the day, Lord, thank.

379
00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:51,879
Speaker 6: You that your plans for me are for good.

380
00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:55,320
Speaker 5: You're not limited by where I am Right now, You've

381
00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:59,320
Speaker 5: already shot my final scene. I may not understand everything

382
00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:02,280
Speaker 5: along the way, but God, I trust you. I believe

383
00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:06,280
Speaker 5: I'm coming to a flourishing finish. This is what Job

384
00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:10,360
Speaker 5: had to do. He had some unusual twist and turns

385
00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:15,480
Speaker 5: in life. Some scenes didn't make sense. Everything started off great,

386
00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:19,040
Speaker 5: life was good, but then the bottom fell out. Job

387
00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:22,760
Speaker 5: lost his health, lost his business, lost his family. He

388
00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:26,280
Speaker 5: could have gotten discouraged and given up. His wife told

389
00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:28,359
Speaker 5: him Job, just curse God and die.

390
00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:32,040
Speaker 6: You're done. Nothing like having an encouraging spouse.

391
00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:37,560
Speaker 5: But in the middle of that discouragement, when everything had

392
00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:40,600
Speaker 5: come against him, when a lot of people would have

393
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:45,520
Speaker 5: been bitter, angry, complaining, Job looked up to the heavens

394
00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:49,840
Speaker 5: and said, I know my redeemer lives. He was saying,

395
00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:53,320
Speaker 5: in effect, I know God's still on the throne. I

396
00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:56,080
Speaker 5: know he's already shot my final scene.

397
00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:58,399
Speaker 6: And if this is my time to go, I'm not

398
00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:00,960
Speaker 6: gonna go bitter, go upset.

399
00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:05,000
Speaker 5: Though he slay me, yet, will I trust him? When

400
00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:08,040
Speaker 5: you can keep a good attitude when the bottom falls out,

401
00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:11,639
Speaker 5: when you can give God praise in the twist of life,

402
00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:14,680
Speaker 5: in the things that don't make sense, that's when God

403
00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:15,360
Speaker 5: will take.

404
00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:17,240
Speaker 6: You to a new level of your destiny.

405
00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:21,800
Speaker 5: We hear a lot about Job's loss, Job's trials, Job's suffering,

406
00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:25,920
Speaker 5: and yes, he went through a difficult season, But here's

407
00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:30,440
Speaker 5: the key. He didn't stay there. That was one scene.

408
00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:32,160
Speaker 5: In the end, he came.

409
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:33,880
Speaker 6: Out with twice what he had before.

410
00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:37,520
Speaker 5: God paid him back with double He had twice the cattle,

411
00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:38,359
Speaker 5: twice the sheep.

412
00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:41,200
Speaker 6: God his health back, his joy back, his peace back.

413
00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:43,200
Speaker 6: The scripture puts it this way.

414
00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:48,239
Speaker 5: After this Job lived one hundred and forty years and

415
00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:53,399
Speaker 5: saw his grandsons down to four generations. Notice, after the loss,

416
00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:57,960
Speaker 5: after the disappointment, after the bottom fell out, he didn't

417
00:23:58,119 --> 00:23:59,920
Speaker 5: end on a soured, defeated nose.

418
00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:01,840
Speaker 6: His life was not over.

419
00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:07,040
Speaker 5: Job went on to live a full, happy, blessed one

420
00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:12,240
Speaker 5: hundred and forty more years, enjoying his grandchildren, accomplishing his dreams,

421
00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:13,520
Speaker 5: fulfilling his purpose.

422
00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:14,960
Speaker 6: What am I saying?

423
00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:19,600
Speaker 5: Just because you have some twist turns things you don't understand,

424
00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:24,040
Speaker 5: that doesn't mean your life is over. God has an

425
00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:27,639
Speaker 5: after this coming when thoughts whisper.

426
00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:30,520
Speaker 6: You've seen your best days. You've been through too much.

427
00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:33,439
Speaker 5: This is as good as it gets. God is saying

428
00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:36,560
Speaker 5: to you what he said to Job after the cancer,

429
00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:42,200
Speaker 5: after the divorce, after the betrayal, There's still a full life.

430
00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:43,160
Speaker 6: Ahead of you.

431
00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:46,560
Speaker 5: You haven't dreamed your best dream, you haven't danced your

432
00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:47,800
Speaker 5: best dance, you.

433
00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:49,760
Speaker 6: Haven't laughed your best laugh.

434
00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:53,160
Speaker 5: Shake off the disappointment, get your passion back.

435
00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:55,720
Speaker 6: God, hasn't after this come in your way.

436
00:24:56,960 --> 00:24:59,520
Speaker 5: He's not only gonna bring you out, but he's gonna

437
00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:00,840
Speaker 5: pay you back for that trouble.

438
00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:04,880
Speaker 6: You're gonna come out stronger, increase.

439
00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:06,840
Speaker 5: Promoted, better than you were before.

440
00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:10,280
Speaker 6: When it was all over, Job said, I'm.

441
00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:15,600
Speaker 5: Convinced nothing and no one can upset God's plans. He

442
00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:20,120
Speaker 5: was saying, nothing can change the expected end. God already

443
00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:25,320
Speaker 5: established it. Friends, the enemy cannot keep you from your destiny.

444
00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:29,560
Speaker 5: Satan had to ask God permission to even test Job.

445
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:32,800
Speaker 5: That tells me God is not only in control of

446
00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:35,480
Speaker 5: your life, he's in control of your enemies.

447
00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:37,600
Speaker 6: You have nothing to worry about it.

448
00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:41,160
Speaker 5: There is a headge of protection around you that cannot

449
00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:45,960
Speaker 5: be penetrated. When Jesus was about to be crucified, he

450
00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:49,679
Speaker 5: told people, if you destroy this temple in three days,

451
00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:53,080
Speaker 5: God will raise it up. They thought he was talking

452
00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:57,639
Speaker 5: about the building. He was talking about himself. Jesus, of course,

453
00:25:57,880 --> 00:26:02,320
Speaker 5: understood this principle that his end had already been established.

454
00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:06,400
Speaker 5: He knew his final scene had already been shot. It

455
00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:10,159
Speaker 5: wasn't him hanging on the cross in great pain. It

456
00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:13,200
Speaker 5: wasn't him in a tomb buried in grave clothes.

457
00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:14,280
Speaker 6: He knew.

458
00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:17,680
Speaker 5: His final scene was him seated at the right hand

459
00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:20,520
Speaker 5: of the Father with all power, with the keys of

460
00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:25,480
Speaker 5: death and hell. That's why it says he endured the

461
00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:29,320
Speaker 5: pain of the cross looking forward to the joy that

462
00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:33,119
Speaker 5: was set before him. The way you stay encouraged in

463
00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:36,639
Speaker 5: the tough times is you keep looking ahead, knowing that

464
00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:39,280
Speaker 5: your end has been set, knowing that you're coming to

465
00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:44,200
Speaker 5: a flourishing finish, knowing that God always causes you to triumph.

466
00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:47,760
Speaker 5: The scripture talks about how Jesus was buried in a

467
00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:51,240
Speaker 5: borrowed tomb. He had no place to be buried of

468
00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:54,919
Speaker 5: his own. A disciple came and got his body and

469
00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:57,960
Speaker 5: buried him in a tomb that they owned. Now I

470
00:26:57,960 --> 00:27:02,320
Speaker 5: can imagine Jesus before he was rucified, asking that disciple,

471
00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:07,080
Speaker 5: can I borrow your tune? He was saying, I don't

472
00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:10,439
Speaker 5: need to buy it. This is not how my story ends.

473
00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:14,840
Speaker 5: This is only temporary. I'll just be here a few days.

474
00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:19,399
Speaker 5: I have an established end set by my father, and

475
00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:22,959
Speaker 5: no enemy can change it. They can put me in

476
00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:25,480
Speaker 5: the grave, but they can't keep me in the grave.

477
00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:31,639
Speaker 5: Our attitude, like Jesus in difficult times, this is temporary.

478
00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:34,399
Speaker 6: This addiction is not how my story ends.

479
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:39,360
Speaker 5: This defeat, this sickness, this betrayal is just one scene.

480
00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:42,320
Speaker 5: I know another scene is coming, a scene of victory,

481
00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:45,920
Speaker 5: a scene of favor, a scene of new beginnings. Friends,

482
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:49,840
Speaker 5: your final scene has already been shot. Now, don't let

483
00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:53,400
Speaker 5: the twist, the turns, the things you don't understand cause

484
00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:54,560
Speaker 5: you to get discouraged.

485
00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:56,280
Speaker 6: Keep moving forward.

486
00:27:56,520 --> 00:27:59,920
Speaker 5: In the end, it's all going to work to your advantage.

487
00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:03,920
Speaker 5: Like the ballgame I recorded, we know the final outcome.

488
00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:07,280
Speaker 5: We don't have to live worried and upset. God has

489
00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:11,000
Speaker 5: established your end if you'll stay in faith and.

490
00:28:11,040 --> 00:28:12,040
Speaker 6: Keep honoring God.

491
00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:16,440
Speaker 5: I believe and declare, like Job, God's going to pay

492
00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:19,359
Speaker 5: you back for the trouble, Like Joseph, God's gonna get

493
00:28:19,400 --> 00:28:21,280
Speaker 5: you to your throne like Israel.

494
00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:23,560
