I like to start with 13 00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:37,400 Speaker 1: something funny, and one day, Jesus and Satan we're having 14 00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:41,680 Speaker 1: a contest to see who was better with computers. After 15 00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:45,760 Speaker 1: six hours of making spreadsheets and designing web pages, a 16 00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:49,640 Speaker 1: thunderstorm knocked the power out. When they rebooted their computers, 17 00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:50,920 Speaker 1: Satan started. 18 00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:52,120 Speaker 2: Screaming, it's all lost. 19 00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:56,520 Speaker 1: All my material is gone, while Jesus quietly walked over 20 00:00:56,640 --> 00:00:58,480 Speaker 1: and printed his out turned it in. 21 00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:01,920 Speaker 2: Satan complained this, that's not fair. He must have cheated. 22 00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:05,520 Speaker 1: How come he didn't lose his material. God smiled and said, 23 00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:10,880 Speaker 1: Jesus saves you say it like you mean it. This 24 00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:13,720 Speaker 1: is my Bible. I am what it says I am. 25 00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:16,679 Speaker 1: I have what it says I have. I can do 26 00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:19,360 Speaker 1: what it says I can do. Today I will be 27 00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:23,399 Speaker 1: taught the word of God. I boldly confess. My mind 28 00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:26,720 Speaker 1: is alert, my heart is receptive. I will never be 29 00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:32,000 Speaker 1: the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you. I want 30 00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:36,039 Speaker 1: to talk to you today about It's a setup. Everything 31 00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:39,160 Speaker 1: in your life has been carefully orchestrated. 32 00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:43,840 Speaker 2: God is strategic. Before you were born, he laid out 33 00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:45,720 Speaker 2: a specific plan for you. 34 00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:51,680 Speaker 1: Nothing randomly happens, not just the good breaks, the promotions, 35 00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:55,400 Speaker 1: the times you've seen favor, but even the closed doors, 36 00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:58,080 Speaker 1: the disappointments, the betrayals. 37 00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:00,400 Speaker 2: That's all a part of God's plan. 38 00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:04,600 Speaker 1: It may not make sense, it wasn't fair, but God 39 00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:07,400 Speaker 1: wouldn't have allowed it if it wasn't going to work 40 00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:11,440 Speaker 1: for your good. And if you don't understand that nothing 41 00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:16,120 Speaker 1: randomly happens, then you'll be frustrated when things don't go 42 00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:21,000 Speaker 1: your way, Upset because somebody did you wrong, bitter because 43 00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:25,880 Speaker 1: a person walked away, when in reality, it was ordained 44 00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:30,320 Speaker 1: by God to move you into your destiny. You are 45 00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:35,000 Speaker 1: not at the mercy, of luck, of fate of other people. 46 00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:39,160 Speaker 1: The God who causes the earth to rotate down to 47 00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:44,320 Speaker 1: the exact millisecond, has ordered your steps. Do you think 48 00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:48,000 Speaker 1: another person can stop what God has ordered for you? 49 00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:52,000 Speaker 1: Do you think a bad break, a closed door, a 50 00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:56,919 Speaker 1: jealous coworker can change what God has spoken over your life. 51 00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:00,360 Speaker 1: The people coming against you the negative circumstance and says 52 00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:04,160 Speaker 1: they are pawns in the hands of God. The enemy 53 00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:07,400 Speaker 1: thinks he's using them to hold you back. The truth 54 00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:11,600 Speaker 1: is God is using them to push you forward. In 55 00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:14,920 Speaker 1: the Scripture of Joseph's brothers threw him into a pit. 56 00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:19,200 Speaker 1: They thought they were stopping his destiny, but God used 57 00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:21,240 Speaker 1: them to push Joseph. 58 00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:22,720 Speaker 2: Into his destiny. 59 00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:26,919 Speaker 1: God ordained them to betray Joseph. It was a part 60 00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:29,239 Speaker 1: of the plan that God laid out for his life. 61 00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:35,880 Speaker 1: Without that betrayal, without Potiphar's wife falsely accusing Joseph, without 62 00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:39,840 Speaker 1: him spending time unfairly in prison, Joseph would have never 63 00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:44,720 Speaker 1: fulfilled his destiny. It wasn't random, it wasn't bad luck. 64 00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:46,320 Speaker 2: It was strategic. 65 00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:51,640 Speaker 1: Are you fighting what God has ordained? Frustrated because a 66 00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:56,400 Speaker 1: door closed, or bitter because somebody walked away. Without that, 67 00:03:56,960 --> 00:04:00,760 Speaker 1: you couldn't fulfill your purpose. The enemy, it didn't come in, 68 00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:04,320 Speaker 1: and somehow take the steering wheel, and now he's in control. 69 00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:08,760 Speaker 1: He superseded God's plan. He overpowered the creator. 70 00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:11,760 Speaker 2: He doesn't have that kind of authority. 71 00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:15,720 Speaker 1: The God who breathed life into you, the God who 72 00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:18,920 Speaker 1: has numbered your days, the God who is for you 73 00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:23,680 Speaker 1: and not against you, is in complete control. You may 74 00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:26,960 Speaker 1: not understand what happened. It may not have been fair, 75 00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:30,760 Speaker 1: But if you'll stay in faith, one day you'll see, 76 00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:32,760 Speaker 1: Like Joseph, it wasn't random. 77 00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:34,320 Speaker 2: It was intentional. 78 00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:38,440 Speaker 1: It was a setup. God used it to push you forward. 79 00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:42,840 Speaker 1: But when we isolate a negative experience and look at 80 00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:44,719 Speaker 1: it on its own, it may. 81 00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:45,400 Speaker 2: Not make sense. 82 00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:49,320 Speaker 1: If you have a large puzzle, sometimes you'll find a 83 00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:52,760 Speaker 1: peace that doesn't look like it fits. You're sure the 84 00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:54,560 Speaker 1: manufacturer has made a mistake. 85 00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:58,280 Speaker 2: It's an odd shape, a strange color. 86 00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:01,800 Speaker 1: But when the other pieces come together, there will be 87 00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:05,520 Speaker 1: a perfect fit. The colors will match, the edges will 88 00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:10,200 Speaker 1: line up. Without that piece, the puzzle wouldn't be complete. 89 00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:13,320 Speaker 1: You may have a piece to your puzzle today that 90 00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:17,320 Speaker 1: doesn't make sense. You could think God didn't ordain this. 91 00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:21,159 Speaker 1: I lost my main client, a relationship didn't work out, 92 00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:22,840 Speaker 1: my child got off course. 93 00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:24,160 Speaker 2: This doesn't fit. 94 00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:27,280 Speaker 1: You may not see it now, but God is not 95 00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:28,120 Speaker 1: through working. 96 00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:30,320 Speaker 2: You don't know what he's up to. 97 00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:34,400 Speaker 1: You're looking at one piece like Joseph. You're looking at 98 00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:38,280 Speaker 1: the betrayal. What you can't see is the throne is coming. 99 00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:42,200 Speaker 1: Instead of fighting it being bitter, turn it around. 100 00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:43,160 Speaker 2: God. 101 00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:46,520 Speaker 1: My life is in your hands. I know your plans 102 00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:50,080 Speaker 1: for me are for good. I may not understand everything, 103 00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:53,120 Speaker 1: but God, I trust you. I believe you'll get me 104 00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:57,119 Speaker 1: to where I'm supposed to be. The scripture says God 105 00:05:57,160 --> 00:06:02,960 Speaker 1: has ordered your steps, doesn't he has suggested them. Maybe 106 00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:05,320 Speaker 1: this will happen, maybe that will happen. 107 00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:09,279 Speaker 2: Your steps have been ordered. But here's what I've learned. 108 00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:12,839 Speaker 1: When God ordered my steps, he didn't check with me. 109 00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:17,000 Speaker 1: He didn't ask for my opinion. If he would have, 110 00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:19,200 Speaker 1: I would have told him I don't want to go 111 00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:22,240 Speaker 1: through that disappointment. I don't want those people to talk 112 00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:25,440 Speaker 1: about me. I don't want that company to follow lawsuit 113 00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:28,480 Speaker 1: to try to keep us from moving into the compact centers. 114 00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:32,880 Speaker 1: I would have said no to all the difficulties because 115 00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:35,080 Speaker 1: I couldn't see where they were taking me. 116 00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:38,440 Speaker 2: You can't reach your destiny. 117 00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:43,200 Speaker 1: Without opposition, without betrayal, without criticism, without. 118 00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:44,440 Speaker 2: Things you don't understand. 119 00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:47,560 Speaker 1: When my father went to be with the Lord, I 120 00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:50,960 Speaker 1: didn't see anything good about that. I lost one of 121 00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:54,120 Speaker 1: my best friends, somebody I admired and looked up to. 122 00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:56,760 Speaker 2: I wanted him to live another twenty years. 123 00:06:57,320 --> 00:07:00,440 Speaker 1: But it was that loss that pushed me into what 124 00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:04,640 Speaker 1: I'm doing today. On the other side of the difficulty 125 00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:08,479 Speaker 1: is a new level of your destiny. If you'll keep 126 00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:12,280 Speaker 1: the right attitude, all things will work for your good. 127 00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:16,320 Speaker 1: Not some things, not just the good breaks, the promotion, 128 00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:20,760 Speaker 1: but even the loss, the disappointment, the person that walked away. 129 00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:25,960 Speaker 1: It wasn't random. It was ordained by God. John chapter eleven. 130 00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:30,560 Speaker 1: Lazarus was very sick. His two sisters, Mary and Martha 131 00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:33,640 Speaker 1: sent word to their friend Jesus to come to their 132 00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:37,040 Speaker 1: house and pray for him. Jesus was in another city. 133 00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:41,120 Speaker 1: He waited four days, and Lazarus died. There were all 134 00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:44,400 Speaker 1: these people gathered at the house to pay their respects 135 00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:48,640 Speaker 1: and comfort the family. Then Jesus showed up. He raised 136 00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:53,200 Speaker 1: Lazarus from the dead. Most of the people there were excited, 137 00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:57,280 Speaker 1: and they believed in Jesus, but some of them were cynical. 138 00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:01,400 Speaker 1: They couldn't deny his power, but they weren't for him, 139 00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:04,800 Speaker 1: and they rushed back to tell the Pharisees, the religious 140 00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:09,640 Speaker 1: leaders what happened. The main priest called the council together, 141 00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:13,440 Speaker 1: said if we let Jesus continue, the whole nation will 142 00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:18,120 Speaker 1: believe in him. Verse fifty three says from that time on, 143 00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:24,400 Speaker 1: the religious leaders began to plot Jesus' death. Lazarus being 144 00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:27,920 Speaker 1: raised was a strategic part in the plan of God, 145 00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:32,920 Speaker 1: it said, intomotion all these other events that eventually led 146 00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:37,960 Speaker 1: to Jesus being crucified. That's why Jesus waited on purpose 147 00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:39,360 Speaker 1: for Lazarus to die. 148 00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:41,920 Speaker 2: He could have gone there sooner. 149 00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:44,679 Speaker 1: And healed him, or he could have spoken healing from 150 00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:48,040 Speaker 1: another city like he had done and healed other people. 151 00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:51,960 Speaker 1: But he waited for Lazarus to die so all. 152 00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:53,480 Speaker 2: These people would be gathered. 153 00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:57,360 Speaker 1: It would create such a commotion a man being raised 154 00:08:57,360 --> 00:09:00,360 Speaker 1: from the dead, that the critics would go back and 155 00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:03,480 Speaker 1: get the counsel all stirred up. What am I saying, 156 00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:07,720 Speaker 1: What may look like a crisis to us can still 157 00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:12,080 Speaker 1: be the plan of God. Mary and Martha were upset weeping. 158 00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:13,600 Speaker 1: They couldn't see. 159 00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:14,200 Speaker 2: It at the time. 160 00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:19,560 Speaker 1: That crisis was ordained by God. Jesus being delayed was 161 00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:23,160 Speaker 1: in an accident. Him not coming when they asked was 162 00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:30,880 Speaker 1: divinely orchestrated. Nothing randomly happens, even the crisis, the bad breaks, 163 00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:32,840 Speaker 1: the things that don't make sense. 164 00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:36,040 Speaker 2: We can't see it. But God is still on the throne. 165 00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:37,880 Speaker 2: Thoughts will tell. 166 00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:41,400 Speaker 1: You it's never gonna work out. There's no purpose to this, 167 00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:45,360 Speaker 1: You just have bad luck. Don't believe those lies. God 168 00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:49,600 Speaker 1: is up to something. God is strategic. Things are in 169 00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:52,320 Speaker 1: motion right now that you can't see. 170 00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:53,720 Speaker 2: Behind the scenes. 171 00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:57,400 Speaker 1: God's moving the wrong people out of the way, lining 172 00:09:57,480 --> 00:10:00,679 Speaker 1: up the right people, arranging things in your favor. 173 00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:03,200 Speaker 2: It's in the process of coming together. 174 00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:06,800 Speaker 1: We may not understand it all, but I can assure 175 00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:12,360 Speaker 1: you nothing is random. The delay was on purpose. The 176 00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:15,960 Speaker 1: betrayal was ordained by God. The person that turned on 177 00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:19,720 Speaker 1: you wasn't supposed to be for you. It may seem 178 00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:23,000 Speaker 1: like it's out of control, but God is still in 179 00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:26,840 Speaker 1: complete control. The plan He's laid out for your life 180 00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:30,480 Speaker 1: is right on track. Now keep doing the right thing. 181 00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:35,040 Speaker 1: When you don't understand. Stay in faith when people betray you, 182 00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:38,360 Speaker 1: do the right thing when the wrong thing is happening. 183 00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:43,920 Speaker 1: Your time is coming. What God ordained will come to pass. 184 00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:48,359 Speaker 1: No person can stop him. No bad break, no crisis, 185 00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:53,280 Speaker 1: no people, all the forces of darkness cannot stop what 186 00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:55,319 Speaker 1: God has purpose for your life. 187 00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:58,280 Speaker 2: Now, you have to be so convinced. 188 00:10:57,720 --> 00:11:01,200 Speaker 1: That God is for you that you don't fall apart 189 00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:02,319 Speaker 1: when life. 190 00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:03,680 Speaker 2: Is against you. 191 00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:07,600 Speaker 1: You don't get bitter because things didn't work out your way. 192 00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:09,880 Speaker 2: You don't give up on a dream because you had 193 00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:10,640 Speaker 2: a setback. 194 00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:15,480 Speaker 1: You know it's a setup that God has the final saying. 195 00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:17,520 Speaker 2: That He didn't bring you this far to leave you. 196 00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:20,800 Speaker 1: That Him being for you is more than the world 197 00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:24,360 Speaker 1: being against you. The High Priest wanted to get rid 198 00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:27,679 Speaker 1: of Jesus. He started coming up with all these plans 199 00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:31,840 Speaker 1: and all these schemes. He needed somebody that would betray him, 200 00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:36,920 Speaker 1: needed people that would falsely accuse him. What's interesting is 201 00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:41,160 Speaker 1: God didn't stop their plans, but he used their plans 202 00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:43,520 Speaker 1: to fulfill the purpose of Christ. 203 00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:47,760 Speaker 2: God is all knowing. He has an advantage. 204 00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:51,240 Speaker 1: He knew everything the enemy would try to do in 205 00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:56,040 Speaker 1: your life. He's already taken that into consideration when he 206 00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:57,079 Speaker 1: laid out your plan. 207 00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:01,960 Speaker 2: Now, he may not stop plot of the enemy against you. 208 00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:06,080 Speaker 1: He won't stop every bad break, every betrayal, but he 209 00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:10,280 Speaker 1: will use that to move you into your destiny. He 210 00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:13,440 Speaker 1: didn't stop Joseph's brothers from throwing him into the pit. 211 00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:16,520 Speaker 1: He didn't stop them from selling him as a slave. 212 00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:20,680 Speaker 1: But God took that into account when he laid out 213 00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:25,240 Speaker 1: Joseph's purpose. I can imagine God thinking, Okay, they want 214 00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:27,640 Speaker 1: to sell him, they want to make him a slave. 215 00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:30,679 Speaker 2: That's fine. I'll turn it to his advantage. 216 00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:35,520 Speaker 1: I'll design Joseph's plan so that Potter, his boss, will 217 00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:39,800 Speaker 1: like him. I'll give Joseph the ability to interpret dreams, 218 00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:42,839 Speaker 1: and then I'll give the Pharaoh a dream that only 219 00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:48,160 Speaker 1: Joseph can interpret. God has designed your plan, knowing every 220 00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:52,440 Speaker 1: plot against you. He knows every bad break that will happen, 221 00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:57,360 Speaker 1: every closed door, every disappointment. And the good news is 222 00:12:57,720 --> 00:13:02,520 Speaker 1: God's strategic plan will override every plan that was meant 223 00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:07,480 Speaker 1: to stop you. That's why Isaiah said no weapon formed 224 00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:08,840 Speaker 1: against you will prosper. 225 00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:11,320 Speaker 2: Doesn't say they want form. 226 00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:17,120 Speaker 1: Judas will show up, people will betray you, injustice will come. 227 00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:19,160 Speaker 2: But they want prosper Why. 228 00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:24,960 Speaker 1: God has taken into account their jealousy, their malice, their hatred, 229 00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:28,720 Speaker 1: what they meant for harm. God has already designed a 230 00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:32,560 Speaker 1: plan to use it for your good. You don't have 231 00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:37,240 Speaker 1: to live discouraged when negative things come against you, trying 232 00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:41,400 Speaker 1: to pay people back, frustrated because of a disappointment. 233 00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:44,920 Speaker 2: Stay in peace. God hasn't all figured out. 234 00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:48,120 Speaker 1: He wouldn't have allowed it if it was going to 235 00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:52,600 Speaker 1: stop you. If Joseph's brothers throwing him into a pit 236 00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:56,600 Speaker 1: was going to stop Joseph's destiny, God wouldn't have let 237 00:13:56,679 --> 00:13:59,600 Speaker 1: the brothers do it. God held back the Red Sea 238 00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:04,080 Speaker 1: could have held the brothers back. God allowed it because 239 00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:08,800 Speaker 1: it was a part of Joseph's destiny. Quit fighting what 240 00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:12,840 Speaker 1: God has allowed. Without that happening, you couldn't. 241 00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:14,880 Speaker 2: Fulfill your purpose. It's a set up. 242 00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:18,880 Speaker 1: You may not like it, it may be uncomfortable, but 243 00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:22,360 Speaker 1: if you'll stay in faith one day, you're going to 244 00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:25,280 Speaker 1: see what God was up to. Judas went in and 245 00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:29,120 Speaker 1: told the religious leaders that he would betray Jesus. They 246 00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:32,120 Speaker 1: were so excited. This was the big break they were 247 00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:36,880 Speaker 1: looking for. They didn't realize Judas was aupawn in the 248 00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:37,640 Speaker 1: hand of God. 249 00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:41,480 Speaker 2: Wasn't his idea. God was using him. 250 00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:45,840 Speaker 1: To move Jesus into his purpose. We give our enemies 251 00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:49,640 Speaker 1: too much credit. They can only do what God allows 252 00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:55,320 Speaker 1: them to do. Judas couldn't stop Jesus, his betrayal, his disloyalty, 253 00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:58,280 Speaker 1: couldn't keep the plan of God from unfolding. 254 00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:02,240 Speaker 2: When people come against you, don't get bent out of shape. 255 00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:03,320 Speaker 2: They can't stop you. 256 00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:07,360 Speaker 1: They think they're hindering you. But like Judas, God is 257 00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:10,680 Speaker 1: going to use them to move you further into your destiny. 258 00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:15,840 Speaker 1: But sometimes we make mistakes, We bring the trouble on ourselves. 259 00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:18,920 Speaker 1: We get off course and do things we know that 260 00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:22,680 Speaker 1: we shouldn't do. But the beauty of our God is 261 00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:26,440 Speaker 1: he not only designed your plan knowing what the enemy 262 00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:29,600 Speaker 1: would try to do against you, but he designed your 263 00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:34,080 Speaker 1: plan knowing the mistakes you would make. God has taken 264 00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:38,200 Speaker 1: into account the times we would fail, times we'd compromise, 265 00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:43,600 Speaker 1: give in to temptation. He's so merciful, He's already designed 266 00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:47,120 Speaker 1: a plan to restore us and get us back on course. 267 00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:50,680 Speaker 1: God told Jonah to go to the city of Nineveh 268 00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:52,360 Speaker 1: and tell the people to repent. 269 00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:55,480 Speaker 2: Jonah didn't want to go there. He got on a 270 00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:57,400 Speaker 2: boat going the other way. 271 00:15:58,160 --> 00:16:01,760 Speaker 1: He went exactly opposite of what God told him to do. 272 00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:06,240 Speaker 2: You would think he's done too bad. He stepped out 273 00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:10,680 Speaker 2: of God's plan. But on the boat a huge storm arose. 274 00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:12,440 Speaker 2: They were all about to die. 275 00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:15,760 Speaker 1: Jonah admitted to the crew that he was the problem, 276 00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:18,480 Speaker 1: that he was running from God. That's why they were 277 00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:22,600 Speaker 1: having trouble. The crew was so loving. They said, Jonah, 278 00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:25,880 Speaker 1: thank you for being so honest. Then they threw him overboard. 279 00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:30,960 Speaker 1: This should have been the end of Jonah's story. Out 280 00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:33,680 Speaker 1: in the middle of the ocean in a huge storm, 281 00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:37,680 Speaker 1: but it just so happened. A big fish was swimming 282 00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:42,120 Speaker 1: by at the right place at the right time, feeling hungry, 283 00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:43,880 Speaker 1: and it swallowed Jonah up. 284 00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:47,280 Speaker 2: He spent three days in the belly of the fish. 285 00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:49,680 Speaker 1: On the third day, the fish came up from the 286 00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:52,840 Speaker 1: bottom of the ocean and spit Jonah out. 287 00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:53,600 Speaker 2: On dry ground. 288 00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:58,880 Speaker 1: Hundreds of years later, Jesus would say, as Jonah was 289 00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:01,840 Speaker 1: in the belly of the fish for three days, so 290 00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:04,199 Speaker 1: shall the son of Man be in the heart of 291 00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:09,359 Speaker 1: the earth for three days. Jonah was a picture of Jesus. 292 00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:13,240 Speaker 1: God knew that he would get off course. He had 293 00:17:13,280 --> 00:17:14,960 Speaker 1: already planned how that. 294 00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:18,960 Speaker 2: Would foreshadow what Christ would do. What am I saying? 295 00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:24,560 Speaker 1: Nothing randomly happens. Your mistakes have been taken into account 296 00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:28,080 Speaker 1: in God's plan for your life. And I don't say 297 00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:31,200 Speaker 1: that so you can live loose good. I'm gonna do 298 00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:33,919 Speaker 1: whatever I want to do, Joel said, God's got me covered. 299 00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:36,600 Speaker 2: No mistakes. They cause heartache. 300 00:17:36,640 --> 00:17:40,560 Speaker 1: They cast pain three days in the belly of the fish. 301 00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:44,359 Speaker 2: That sounds exciting now, but that was not a cruise liner. 302 00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:49,040 Speaker 1: It was dark, dirty, smelly seaweed all over his head. 303 00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:53,160 Speaker 1: When the fish spit Jonah out. The first thing God 304 00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:56,320 Speaker 1: told him was go to Nineveh and do what I 305 00:17:56,400 --> 00:18:00,280 Speaker 1: ask you to do. God didn't change his mind, but 306 00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:04,720 Speaker 1: he gave him another chance. When we make mistakes, when 307 00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:08,320 Speaker 1: we fail, the accuser keeps whispering, You're done. 308 00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:11,240 Speaker 2: God is finished with you. You had your chance. 309 00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:14,920 Speaker 1: You'll never accomplish your dreams. No, get back up, Jonah. 310 00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:18,960 Speaker 1: Your mistake is not a surprise to God. He's already 311 00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:22,880 Speaker 1: designed you'll come back. He's already laid out your new beginning. 312 00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:26,880 Speaker 1: Why don't you get back in the game, get your fireback, 313 00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:31,359 Speaker 1: get your passion, back, start dreaming again, start believing again. 314 00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:36,199 Speaker 1: That mistake didn't cancel your destiny. God still has a 315 00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:41,000 Speaker 1: purpose for you to fulfill. When God told Abraham that 316 00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:43,399 Speaker 1: he and his wife Sarah were going to have a 317 00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:48,280 Speaker 1: baby in their old age, years went by and nothing happened. 318 00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:52,560 Speaker 1: So Abraham decided to help God out, and he slept 319 00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:56,320 Speaker 1: with Sarah's maid. They had a son, a boy they 320 00:18:56,400 --> 00:19:00,520 Speaker 1: named Ishmael. They were so excited they finally had their baby. 321 00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:04,199 Speaker 1: God said, that is not the promised child. That's the 322 00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:08,399 Speaker 1: arm of the flesh. That's something you made happen. Ishmael, 323 00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:12,639 Speaker 1: in one sense, was considered a mistake. He was the 324 00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:17,040 Speaker 1: child that Abraham had out of wedlock. Now Abraham is 325 00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:20,040 Speaker 1: the father of our faith. You would think he would 326 00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:23,320 Speaker 1: know better. Surely this wouldn't be in the plan of God. 327 00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:28,960 Speaker 1: Four generations later, when Joseph's brothers threw him into a pit, 328 00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:32,080 Speaker 1: they were going to leave him there to die, but 329 00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:35,960 Speaker 1: they looked up and saw a caravan of Ishmaelites coming. 330 00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:40,960 Speaker 1: They decided instead to sell Joseph to them. The Ishmaelites 331 00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:46,040 Speaker 1: were descendants of Ishmael. What once was considered a mistake 332 00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:49,120 Speaker 1: was actually a part of God's plan. 333 00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:51,240 Speaker 2: To save Joseph's life. 334 00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:55,320 Speaker 1: Only God, in his amazing wisdom, can take what was 335 00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:59,000 Speaker 1: a mistake in one generation and use it to be 336 00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:00,880 Speaker 1: a blessing in a another generation. 337 00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:07,520 Speaker 2: Nothing randomly happens. Even your mistakes are a setup. 338 00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:12,080 Speaker 1: Why don't you quit beating yourself up for past failures. 339 00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:13,720 Speaker 2: Quit living in regrets. 340 00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:17,600 Speaker 1: Nothing you've done is too much for the mercy of God. 341 00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:18,400 Speaker 2: Let that go. 342 00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:22,000 Speaker 1: Start moving forward into the new things God has in store. 343 00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:25,600 Speaker 2: A few years ago, Victoria lost her ring. 344 00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:29,119 Speaker 1: It was a diamond band that her mother had given 345 00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:33,360 Speaker 1: her Bien in their family for several generations. Sometimes when 346 00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:35,919 Speaker 1: we'd go on a trip, Victoria would hide it in 347 00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:40,560 Speaker 1: the house. So for months we searched everywhere, every drawer, 348 00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:42,360 Speaker 1: every cabinet, every pocket. 349 00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:44,760 Speaker 2: That ring was nowhere to be found. 350 00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:48,480 Speaker 1: About three years later, we were driving home late one 351 00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:51,800 Speaker 1: night from out of town. It was after midnight and 352 00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:55,399 Speaker 1: I was tired and ready to get home. Victoria said, Joe, 353 00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:58,000 Speaker 1: you better slow down. You're going to get a ticket. 354 00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:01,560 Speaker 1: I was going about seventy five and the speed limit 355 00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:06,760 Speaker 1: was sixty five maybe fifty five. But there was nobody 356 00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:11,200 Speaker 1: on the highway wide open well in the country all 357 00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:13,240 Speaker 1: of a sudden, in my rear view mirror, I saw 358 00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:16,679 Speaker 1: those flashing red lights. The officer came up to my 359 00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:19,920 Speaker 1: window and I handed him my driver's license, and he said, 360 00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:23,280 Speaker 1: I'll need your insurance card as well. Victoria opened the 361 00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:28,400 Speaker 1: glove compartment and started looking. She found every document except 362 00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:32,159 Speaker 1: our insurance. She ended up pulling everything out of the 363 00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:35,520 Speaker 1: glob compartment and digging around in the back, maneuvering our 364 00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:38,960 Speaker 1: hand here and there, and it's dark you couldn't see anything. 365 00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:42,200 Speaker 1: Plus having the officer standing right there was nerve wracking. 366 00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:46,479 Speaker 1: At one point, Victoria, digging way back there, found something 367 00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:49,600 Speaker 1: hard down in the crack. She kept digging and digging, 368 00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:51,960 Speaker 1: pulled it out. It was the ring she had been 369 00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:53,800 Speaker 1: looking for for three and a half years. 370 00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:59,440 Speaker 2: She was so excited, so happy. She's over there rejoicing. Here. 371 00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:03,440 Speaker 1: I was about to go to jail. She ended up 372 00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:08,359 Speaker 1: finding the insurance card right on the top. It was 373 00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:11,919 Speaker 1: like God caused her to overlook it. I handed it 374 00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:15,280 Speaker 1: to the officer. He said, are you that minister, I 375 00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:16,000 Speaker 1: said I am. 376 00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:18,600 Speaker 2: He said, if I come to your church, will you 377 00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:20,800 Speaker 2: save me a seat? I said, I'll save you a 378 00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:21,399 Speaker 2: whole section. 379 00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:28,120 Speaker 1: He handed it back, said, have a great night. Sometimes 380 00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:31,720 Speaker 1: what we think is a setback is really God setting 381 00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:37,320 Speaker 1: us up to do something amazing. Even mistakes we made, 382 00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:40,200 Speaker 1: God knows how to turn them and use. 383 00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:40,879 Speaker 2: Them for our good. 384 00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:45,159 Speaker 1: A few days before Jesus was crucified, he was in 385 00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:49,240 Speaker 1: the garden of Gasimine late one night praying. He was 386 00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:51,760 Speaker 1: so overwhelmed with the weight of what he was about 387 00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:54,920 Speaker 1: to do, and under so much pressure that he swept 388 00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:58,280 Speaker 1: great drops of blood. He said, Father, if you're willing 389 00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:02,159 Speaker 1: take this cup from me but not my will, let 390 00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:06,199 Speaker 1: your will be done. We celebrate what Christ did on 391 00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:08,760 Speaker 1: the cross, that's the foundation of our faith. 392 00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:13,200 Speaker 2: But the real battle took place in the garden. This 393 00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:14,879 Speaker 2: is where he made the decision. 394 00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:18,720 Speaker 1: Even though it's not fair, even though Judas is about 395 00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:21,560 Speaker 1: to betray me, even though these people have mocked and 396 00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:25,640 Speaker 1: ridiculed me, Father, I trust you. I know it's all 397 00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:29,520 Speaker 1: a part of your plan. We all have these times 398 00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:33,399 Speaker 1: when life isn't fair, somebody's come against you, you're fighting 399 00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:37,000 Speaker 1: in illness. Business has slowed down. This is where you 400 00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:39,639 Speaker 1: have to do like him and say God, I don't 401 00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:41,639 Speaker 1: understand it, but I trust you. 402 00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:43,960 Speaker 2: I know you're in control. 403 00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:46,399 Speaker 1: You wouldn't have allowed it if it wasn't going to 404 00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:50,639 Speaker 1: work for my good. Don't get discouraged when life doesn't 405 00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:51,240 Speaker 1: make sense. 406 00:23:51,480 --> 00:23:52,720 Speaker 2: God is up to something. 407 00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:56,800 Speaker 1: They crucified Jesus, put him in the grave. They thought 408 00:23:56,960 --> 00:23:59,240 Speaker 1: he was done, But you know the story. On the 409 00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:03,120 Speaker 1: third day, Jesus came out said, I am alive forevermore. 410 00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:05,359 Speaker 2: God has the final say. 411 00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:10,360 Speaker 1: What looks like a setback is really setting you up 412 00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:15,040 Speaker 1: for the next level of your destiny. Jesus told his disciples, 413 00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:19,160 Speaker 1: take up your cross and follow me. Sometimes we hear 414 00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:20,600 Speaker 1: that and think that's going. 415 00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:21,560 Speaker 2: To be a heavy burden. 416 00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:25,160 Speaker 1: People told me growing up, Joel, that's a hard thing 417 00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:29,199 Speaker 1: to carry your cross. One day, my father had a dream. 418 00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:32,520 Speaker 1: He was going through a difficult time in life. In 419 00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:35,680 Speaker 1: this dream, he looked over and saw a large cross 420 00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:38,520 Speaker 1: on the ground. It was made out of railroad ties, 421 00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:42,320 Speaker 1: about fifteen feet long. It looked like it weighed hundreds 422 00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:46,000 Speaker 1: of pounds. He knew that was his cross to carry, 423 00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:48,040 Speaker 1: but he didn't know how he could do it. It 424 00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:51,560 Speaker 1: seemed to overwhelm me. He walked over to pick it up, 425 00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:55,320 Speaker 1: but it wasn't what he thought. When he lifted it, 426 00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:59,560 Speaker 1: it was like styrofoam hardly weighed anything. He was so 427 00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:02,560 Speaker 1: amazed he could easily put it on his shoulder and 428 00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:07,600 Speaker 1: start walking. A few steps later, the cross started lifting 429 00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:12,160 Speaker 1: him up. Instead of him carrying the cross, the cross 430 00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:15,919 Speaker 1: was carrying him. When you take up your cross, it 431 00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:19,960 Speaker 1: doesn't mean you're not going to have difficulties. People won't 432 00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:22,320 Speaker 1: betray you, you'll never make mistakes. 433 00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:23,280 Speaker 2: Life will happen. 434 00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:27,439 Speaker 1: But the beauty is when you should be overwhelmed, the 435 00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:31,560 Speaker 1: cross will start carrying you. God will give you joy 436 00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:34,879 Speaker 1: and peace and strength that will lift you, help you 437 00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:36,600 Speaker 1: make it through things that. 438 00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:37,520 Speaker 2: Should have stopped you. 439 00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:40,960 Speaker 1: We can all look back and see times where if 440 00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:43,480 Speaker 1: it wasn't for the goodness of God, we wouldn't have 441 00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:47,040 Speaker 1: made it. What is that the cross carrying you? It 442 00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:49,000 Speaker 1: looked like it is going to be heavy, but it 443 00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:52,680 Speaker 1: was a setup. His yoke is easy, His burden is life. 444 00:25:53,320 --> 00:25:55,640 Speaker 2: Why don't you come back to that place of peace. 445 00:25:56,240 --> 00:26:00,400 Speaker 2: Nothing in your life has randomly happened. God. God has 446 00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:01,840 Speaker 2: ordered your steps. 447 00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:06,639 Speaker 1: You may not understand it, but your life is divinely orchestrated. 448 00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:10,399 Speaker 1: What God has purposed for you will come to pass. 449 00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:10,840 Speaker 2: Now. 450 00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:14,200 Speaker 1: I believe and declare every force that's trying to stop 451 00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:18,040 Speaker 1: you is being broken. God is about to turn things 452 00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:21,280 Speaker 1: in your favor. It looks like a setback, but it's 453 00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:24,720 Speaker 1: setting you up for new levels for promotion. 454 00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:28,280 Speaker 2: For healing, for breakthroughs, for the fullness of your destiny. 455 00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:31,879 Speaker 1: In Jesus's name, and if you receive it, can you 456 00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:32,439 Speaker 1: say amen? 457 00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:35,240 Speaker 2: Today? I'd like to. 458 00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:38,159 Speaker 1: Give you an opportunity to make Jesus the lord of 459 00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:42,440 Speaker 1: your life. Would you pray with me? Just say, Lord, Jesus, 460 00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:45,120 Speaker 1: I repent of my sins. 461 00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:50,560 Speaker 2: Come into my heart. I make you my Lord and savior. 462 00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:54,600 Speaker 1: If you prayed that simple prayer, we believe you got 463 00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:57,840 Speaker 1: born again. Get in a good Bible based church, keep 464 00:26:57,880 --> 00:26:58,879 Speaker 1: God in first place.
