I like to 33 00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:40,280 Speaker 4: start with something funny, and I heard about this man 34 00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:44,400 Speaker 4: that was very stingy with his money. Just before his death, 35 00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:47,480 Speaker 4: he made his wife promise that she would have him 36 00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:51,000 Speaker 4: buried with the fifty thousand dollars he had saved. His 37 00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:55,560 Speaker 4: wife reluctantly agreed. At the funeral, right before they closed 38 00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:59,440 Speaker 4: the casket, She's snuck in this small wooden box. Her 39 00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:03,480 Speaker 4: friend said, surely you didn't just bury the money. She said, 40 00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:06,400 Speaker 4: of course I did. I'm a Christian. I can't lie. 41 00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:10,120 Speaker 4: The friend said, you mean you just buried fifty thousand dollars. 42 00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:13,200 Speaker 3: She said, yes, I did. I wrote a check and. 43 00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:17,480 Speaker 4: Say it like you mean it. This is my Bible. 44 00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:20,440 Speaker 4: I am what it says I am. I have what 45 00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:23,040 Speaker 4: it says I have. I can do what it says 46 00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:26,040 Speaker 4: I can do. Today I will be taught the word 47 00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:30,520 Speaker 4: of God. I boldly confess. My mind is alert, my 48 00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:35,120 Speaker 4: heart is receptive. I will never be the same. In Jesus' name, 49 00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:39,000 Speaker 4: God bless you. I want to talk to you today 50 00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:43,960 Speaker 4: about believing when you're not seeing. It's easy to believe 51 00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:47,360 Speaker 4: when things are going our way. We're getting good breaks, 52 00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:51,919 Speaker 4: our health is improving, our child is turning around. When 53 00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:55,360 Speaker 4: you can see it, it doesn't take much faith. The 54 00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:59,079 Speaker 4: test comes when you can't see any sign of what 55 00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:03,480 Speaker 4: you're believing for. You're working hard, but doors aren't opening. 56 00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:07,839 Speaker 4: You're praying, but the medical report isn't improving. You're doing 57 00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:11,480 Speaker 4: the right thing, but your marriage isn't getting better. You know, 58 00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:14,560 Speaker 4: God put the promise in your heart. You know he 59 00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:18,400 Speaker 4: gave you the dream, but there's no sign that is happening. 60 00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:22,320 Speaker 4: If you just saw a little improvement, if you just 61 00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:25,520 Speaker 4: felt a little better, at least you would know that 62 00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:29,920 Speaker 4: what you were doing was helping. But many times before 63 00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:32,959 Speaker 4: a promise comes to pass, you have to go through 64 00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:37,640 Speaker 4: a season of silence where you're not seeing anything changing. 65 00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:41,880 Speaker 4: You'll be tempted to think, is what I'm doing even working? 66 00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:46,880 Speaker 4: Is my believing, my praying, my giving, even making a difference. 67 00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:51,119 Speaker 4: This is when many people get discouraged and give up 68 00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:54,880 Speaker 4: on what they're believing for. But just because you don't 69 00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:59,840 Speaker 4: see anything happening doesn't mean God is not working behind 70 00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:04,280 Speaker 4: me of scenes, things are changing that you can't see. 71 00:04:04,320 --> 00:04:08,680 Speaker 4: God does much of his work in secret. You can't 72 00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:12,360 Speaker 4: see him lining up the people you need. You can't 73 00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:16,480 Speaker 4: see him arranging good breaks for you. You can't see 74 00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:20,680 Speaker 4: him sending the angel with your promise, putting the healing, 75 00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:21,840 Speaker 4: the promotion, the. 76 00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:23,719 Speaker 3: Vindication on your schedule. 77 00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:28,480 Speaker 4: All you can see is Joel, I'm praying and nothing's happening. 78 00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:32,839 Speaker 4: I'm doing my best, but nothing's improving. You're in a 79 00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:37,279 Speaker 4: season of silence. The question is are you going to 80 00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:42,000 Speaker 4: get discouraged and quit believing because you're not seeing, or 81 00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:44,920 Speaker 4: you're going to dig your heels in and say, God, 82 00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:48,640 Speaker 4: I may not see anything happening, but I'm not moved 83 00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:49,520 Speaker 4: by what I see. 84 00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:52,240 Speaker 3: I'm moved by what I know, and I. 85 00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:55,480 Speaker 4: Know what you promise me is on the way. 86 00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:57,000 Speaker 3: If you'll stay in faith. 87 00:04:57,320 --> 00:05:00,680 Speaker 4: At some point you're going to see what God was 88 00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:02,240 Speaker 4: doing behind the scenes. 89 00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:05,599 Speaker 3: Suddenly things are going to shift in your favor. 90 00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:09,280 Speaker 4: What happened, You saw what God was up to all 91 00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:13,599 Speaker 4: those months even years you didn't think anything was happening 92 00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:18,880 Speaker 4: behind the scenes. Things were coming together. And sometimes it 93 00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:24,240 Speaker 4: hasn't happened yet because another person involved is not ready. 94 00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:27,240 Speaker 4: God is working on someone else who's a part of 95 00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:32,440 Speaker 4: your story. Or when that obstacle wasn't changing, you didn't 96 00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:36,040 Speaker 4: realize it. But God was using the obstacle. 97 00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:36,960 Speaker 3: To change you. 98 00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:41,239 Speaker 4: You were growing, getting stronger, developing patients. If he would 99 00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:44,520 Speaker 4: have removed it sooner, you wouldn't be prepared for where 100 00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:45,360 Speaker 4: He's taken you. 101 00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:47,680 Speaker 3: But the scripture says. 102 00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:52,240 Speaker 4: Don't get weary in well doing, for in due season 103 00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:54,839 Speaker 4: you will reap if you faint. 104 00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:59,800 Speaker 3: Not It doesn't say you may reap. There's a good chance. 105 00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:04,440 Speaker 4: God says, if you won't get tired of doing the 106 00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:08,840 Speaker 4: right thing, if you won't let what you see talk 107 00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:12,000 Speaker 4: you out of what you know, then your due season 108 00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:12,760 Speaker 4: is coming. 109 00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:15,400 Speaker 3: You will reap if you don't faint. 110 00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:19,520 Speaker 4: But God wouldn't have told us to not get weary 111 00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:20,760 Speaker 4: in well doing. 112 00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:23,040 Speaker 3: If he didn't know, it. 113 00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:26,400 Speaker 4: Would be easy to get tired of doing what's right. 114 00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:30,040 Speaker 4: It's easy to get worn down. I think it's never 115 00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:32,919 Speaker 4: going to work out. My marriage is never going to 116 00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:35,800 Speaker 4: make it, my business is never going to grow. No, 117 00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:40,280 Speaker 4: get your fire back. Your due season is closer than 118 00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:44,400 Speaker 4: you think. In the scripture, it compares the life of 119 00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:46,120 Speaker 4: a believer to an eagle. 120 00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:48,880 Speaker 3: When a mother eagle is going. 121 00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:52,560 Speaker 4: To have a baby eglet, she lays an egg For 122 00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:55,760 Speaker 4: thirty five days. She has to sit on the egg 123 00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:59,840 Speaker 4: to keep it warm. She never feels the baby eaglet. 124 00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:05,200 Speaker 4: The egg never grows any larger. There's no sign that 125 00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:08,840 Speaker 4: what's on the inside of the egg is alive. The 126 00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:12,360 Speaker 4: mother eagle could think, if it was alive, at least 127 00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:15,080 Speaker 4: it would move a little bit, at least I would 128 00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:15,880 Speaker 4: hear something. 129 00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:19,080 Speaker 3: But day after day the mother. 130 00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:24,480 Speaker 4: Eagle sits unmoved by what she doesn't feel, unmoved by 131 00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:28,960 Speaker 4: what's not changing. On the thirty fifth day, after no 132 00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:34,280 Speaker 4: signs of life, suddenly the little eagle it starts pecking out. 133 00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:34,880 Speaker 3: Of the shell. 134 00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:40,000 Speaker 4: Before long, it hatches, healthy and whole. But think about 135 00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:43,680 Speaker 4: the faith it takes for that mother eagle to sit 136 00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:49,480 Speaker 4: on an egg that seems dead, unlike a person. When 137 00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:52,320 Speaker 4: a lady is going to have a baby, we have 138 00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:56,800 Speaker 4: all these signs. Their stomach gets bigger, their feet may swell, 139 00:07:57,200 --> 00:07:59,400 Speaker 4: their back may hurt, they may get meaner. 140 00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:01,200 Speaker 3: I mean, they may have morning sickness. 141 00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:07,800 Speaker 4: Their womb begins to grow over time, it's obvious you 142 00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:08,680 Speaker 4: can see the. 143 00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:09,920 Speaker 3: Baby is developing. 144 00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:14,520 Speaker 4: When Victoria was pregnant with Jonathan, we were driving down 145 00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:18,360 Speaker 4: the road and I turned on some music. Just like clockwork, 146 00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:21,720 Speaker 4: he started kicking in the womb like he was. 147 00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:23,120 Speaker 3: Keeping beat to the music. 148 00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:25,960 Speaker 4: You could see a leg coming out here and elbow 149 00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:29,080 Speaker 4: coming out there. We had no doubt that he was 150 00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:33,360 Speaker 4: coming those last six months. We never once thought, I 151 00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:36,480 Speaker 4: wonder if he's in there, I wonder if he's alive. 152 00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:39,520 Speaker 3: We didn't have to wonder. We could see it. 153 00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:45,400 Speaker 4: If God brought promises to pass like a person giving birth, 154 00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:49,360 Speaker 4: it would be no problem to stay in faith. It 155 00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:52,000 Speaker 4: would be easy to thank him that it was on 156 00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:55,640 Speaker 4: the way. But most of the time it won't be 157 00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:56,560 Speaker 4: like a person. 158 00:08:57,200 --> 00:08:58,480 Speaker 3: It will be like an eagle. 159 00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:02,839 Speaker 4: You're going to have to believe something is happening when 160 00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:04,280 Speaker 4: you can't see any. 161 00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:04,760 Speaker 3: Sign of it. 162 00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:11,480 Speaker 4: You're going to have to sit on that promise, believing, expecting, praying, thinking. 163 00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:15,040 Speaker 4: When you're not getting any kicks, when you're not seeing 164 00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:18,720 Speaker 4: any growth, when the egg is not moving, you don't 165 00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:22,920 Speaker 4: hear any sounds. Deep down, you have to know something 166 00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:24,280 Speaker 4: is happening. 167 00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:25,920 Speaker 3: That you can't see. 168 00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:29,000 Speaker 4: After a couple of weeks, the mother eagle could think 169 00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:33,600 Speaker 4: I'm wasting my time. By now, something should be happening. 170 00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:34,960 Speaker 3: I don't see. 171 00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:38,560 Speaker 4: Any sign that what's in this egg is alive. But 172 00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:42,959 Speaker 4: there's something in her DNA, something put in her by 173 00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:46,280 Speaker 4: the creator that says I don't have to see a sign. 174 00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:49,440 Speaker 4: I don't have to feel a kick. I know my 175 00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:53,240 Speaker 4: baby is alive. I know my duce season is coming. 176 00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:57,040 Speaker 4: I know on the thirty fifth day, this baby. 177 00:09:56,760 --> 00:09:58,280 Speaker 3: Eaglet is going to hatch. 178 00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:02,320 Speaker 4: You may have promises that you've been standing on for 179 00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:05,360 Speaker 4: a long time, dreams God has put in your heart. 180 00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:08,240 Speaker 4: Every circumstance says it's. 181 00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:09,120 Speaker 3: Never going to happen. 182 00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:12,800 Speaker 4: What you're believing for is dead. It would have kicked 183 00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:17,360 Speaker 4: by now, you would have seen some improvement, some growth. No, 184 00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:22,000 Speaker 4: don't believe those lies. Keep sitting on that egg. Keep 185 00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:25,440 Speaker 4: thanking God that is coming, keep talking like it's on 186 00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:29,360 Speaker 4: the way, Keep expecting things to change in your favor. 187 00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:34,520 Speaker 4: Our attitude should be what God promised me. May look dead, 188 00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:37,800 Speaker 4: but I know, like that eagle, what He put in 189 00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:38,880 Speaker 4: my spirit. 190 00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:42,680 Speaker 3: Is still alive. It doesn't have to kit. I'm not 191 00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:44,240 Speaker 3: moved by what I feel. 192 00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:47,840 Speaker 4: I'm not moved by how long it's taking, by what's 193 00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:51,760 Speaker 4: not working out. I know what God started in my life. 194 00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:54,840 Speaker 3: He's going to finish what am I saying. 195 00:10:55,640 --> 00:11:00,319 Speaker 4: Quit being discouraged because you haven't felt a kit thing 196 00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:03,800 Speaker 4: is wrong. That doesn't mean it's not going to happen. 197 00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:06,440 Speaker 3: You have to trust the process. 198 00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:11,800 Speaker 4: While you're waiting, things are growing, things are developing. God 199 00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:16,520 Speaker 4: is bringing it together. He works in secret. You may 200 00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:20,360 Speaker 4: not see any improvement. You may not see what God 201 00:11:20,520 --> 00:11:20,960 Speaker 4: is up to. 202 00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:24,040 Speaker 3: If the mother eagle could. 203 00:11:23,840 --> 00:11:28,120 Speaker 4: Peck a little hole in the shell and see her baby, 204 00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:31,880 Speaker 4: it would be so much easier to believe I saw him. 205 00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:32,920 Speaker 3: He's in there. 206 00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:36,480 Speaker 4: Now I can sit on this egg with confidence. The 207 00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:41,880 Speaker 4: problem is the eaglet wouldn't survive. Some things have to 208 00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:46,400 Speaker 4: develop in the dark, in secret. If you could see 209 00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:49,800 Speaker 4: the promise coming, if God showed us what he was 210 00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:53,120 Speaker 4: up to. Yes, it wouldn't be as difficult to believe, 211 00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:54,719 Speaker 4: but that wouldn't. 212 00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:55,320 Speaker 3: Take any faith. 213 00:11:56,240 --> 00:12:00,480 Speaker 4: You have to believe when there's no sign on the outside, 214 00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:04,640 Speaker 4: that what's on the inside is still alive the promise 215 00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:08,400 Speaker 4: God put in you. That egg, so to speak, is 216 00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:11,680 Speaker 4: not going to move, not going to grow, not going 217 00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:15,400 Speaker 4: to kick. You may not see any signs of life 218 00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:19,720 Speaker 4: until the thirty fifth day, until you're due season, when 219 00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:23,760 Speaker 4: suddenly that be the eaglet is going to hatch. But 220 00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:27,840 Speaker 4: there's something God has put in your DNA where you 221 00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:32,400 Speaker 4: can believe when every circumstance says it's not going to happen. 222 00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:37,520 Speaker 4: The odds may be against you today, your dream seems impossible, 223 00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:42,040 Speaker 4: medical reports not improving, You've struggled with the addiction for years. 224 00:12:42,520 --> 00:12:46,080 Speaker 4: Looks like the promise is dead. You're tempted to walk 225 00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:49,760 Speaker 4: away from the nest, forget about the egg hasn't seen 226 00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:53,680 Speaker 4: any signs of life, or God is saying go back and. 227 00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:56,079 Speaker 3: Sit on it. It is still alive. 228 00:12:56,720 --> 00:13:01,000 Speaker 4: Don't let the circumstances fool you. Because you don't see 229 00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:05,240 Speaker 4: anything happening on the outside doesn't mean something is not 230 00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:06,800 Speaker 4: happening on the inside. 231 00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:09,920 Speaker 3: Well, Joel, I've never felt my baby kick. 232 00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:13,520 Speaker 4: It's not going to kick in the egg. God burst 233 00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:16,480 Speaker 4: things like an eagle, not like a person. 234 00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:19,480 Speaker 3: We have to walk by faith and not by sight. 235 00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:23,959 Speaker 4: The Israelites were traveling through the desert, headed toward the 236 00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:28,000 Speaker 4: Promised Land when they came to the city of Jericho. 237 00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:29,800 Speaker 3: This was the last. 238 00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:33,240 Speaker 4: City that stood between them and the city of Canaan, 239 00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:37,760 Speaker 4: the land God promised them. Jericho was surrounded by a 240 00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:42,600 Speaker 4: huge stone wall. It was so thick that chariots could 241 00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:46,320 Speaker 4: ride on top of it. God told Joshua to have 242 00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:51,240 Speaker 4: the Israelites march around the walls for seven days. Without 243 00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:54,600 Speaker 4: saying a word. These two million people went out and 244 00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:58,320 Speaker 4: once a day started walking around the wall. First day, 245 00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:04,439 Speaker 4: nothing happened. Second day, nothing, It was hot, dusty. They 246 00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:08,000 Speaker 4: were already tired, worn out from traveling through the desert. 247 00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:11,560 Speaker 4: Went around the fourth day nothing. The fifth time nothing. 248 00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:15,760 Speaker 4: I can imagine, they started to get discouraged, thinking, what 249 00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:17,040 Speaker 4: are we doing out here? 250 00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:20,520 Speaker 3: We look like fools. Nothing is even happening. 251 00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:24,840 Speaker 4: It wouldn't have been so difficult to believe if while 252 00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:28,840 Speaker 4: they were walking around they saw a little crack in 253 00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:32,560 Speaker 4: the wall start to form maybe the fourth time around, 254 00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:35,720 Speaker 4: some of the rocks up top broke apart. The next 255 00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:39,440 Speaker 4: time around, the foundation began to loosen up. If they 256 00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:43,040 Speaker 4: would have just seen a sign that things were improving, 257 00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:47,000 Speaker 4: something to encourage them, a little crack. 258 00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:50,080 Speaker 3: Here and there, But nothing was changing. 259 00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:54,320 Speaker 4: They were sitting on that egg, doing what God asked 260 00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:59,360 Speaker 4: them to do, walking around the city, not complaining. They 261 00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:02,960 Speaker 4: were doing that their part. Why wasn't God doing his part? 262 00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:08,120 Speaker 4: God works in secret in that egg. You can't see 263 00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:13,800 Speaker 4: the eaglet developing. The Israelites didn't like it. They were uncomfortable. 264 00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:17,200 Speaker 4: But here's the key. They kept doing the right thing. 265 00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:22,120 Speaker 4: They didn't get weary in well doing. On the seventh day, 266 00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:26,920 Speaker 4: the seventh time around, still no sign of the wall weakening. 267 00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:30,920 Speaker 4: Still look just as strong, sturdy, like it did before 268 00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:35,360 Speaker 4: they started. But when they completed that seventh lap, suddenly 269 00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:39,520 Speaker 4: the walls came tumbling down. They came into their due season, 270 00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:44,480 Speaker 4: their thirty fifth day. But too often we'll stay in faith. 271 00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:48,720 Speaker 4: If we see the wall cracking, we'll believe. If our 272 00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:52,120 Speaker 4: boss starts treating us better, if our health starts improving, 273 00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:56,040 Speaker 4: we're waiting for the baby to kick. God, give me 274 00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:59,080 Speaker 4: a sign show me something that you're going to turn 275 00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:02,640 Speaker 4: this around. What I'm saying is you may not get 276 00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:05,880 Speaker 4: a sign. That's when you have to dig down deep 277 00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:09,120 Speaker 4: and say, am I going to get up off this egg? 278 00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:13,000 Speaker 4: Am I going to let what I'm not seeing convince 279 00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:16,320 Speaker 4: me what I'm believing for is dead? It's too late, 280 00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:20,120 Speaker 4: the obstacle's too big. Or Am I going to do 281 00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:23,520 Speaker 4: like the Israelites and keep marching. 282 00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:24,880 Speaker 3: Even though there is no sign? 283 00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:29,560 Speaker 4: Keep thanking God, even though it's not improving, keep expecting, 284 00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:31,200 Speaker 4: even though the baby. 285 00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:31,760 Speaker 3: Is not kicking. 286 00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:36,000 Speaker 4: You keep doing the right thing, and your thirty fifth 287 00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:36,960 Speaker 4: day is coming. 288 00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:39,760 Speaker 3: What you thought was dead, you. 289 00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:43,640 Speaker 4: Didn't see any signs of life. Suddenly that baby eaglet 290 00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:47,000 Speaker 4: is going to burst forth. A friend of mine that 291 00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:50,520 Speaker 4: I grew up with was believing to have a baby 292 00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:53,760 Speaker 4: for many years. She and her husband had tried and 293 00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:57,760 Speaker 4: tried with no success. We were all standing in faith 294 00:16:57,800 --> 00:17:02,240 Speaker 4: with her, believing and praying that no baby. She'd gone 295 00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:04,719 Speaker 4: to doctors. They told her there was nothing more they 296 00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:08,120 Speaker 4: could do. She wouldn't be able to have children. She's 297 00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:10,639 Speaker 4: a little bit older than I am, and I was 298 00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:14,840 Speaker 4: in my forties. I thought it's too late. Now, surely 299 00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:18,360 Speaker 4: she'll accept it and move on. Maybe she can adopt, 300 00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:22,399 Speaker 4: Maybe she can do something else with children. That never 301 00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:27,200 Speaker 4: entered her mind. She was always talking about having a baby. 302 00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:30,040 Speaker 3: It was never if, it was always. 303 00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:34,080 Speaker 4: When she even made a baby's room in her house, 304 00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:38,320 Speaker 4: had it all decorated, ready for the child. She was 305 00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:42,480 Speaker 4: constantly thanking God that her baby was on the way, 306 00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:46,560 Speaker 4: talking like it could happen tomorrow. She could have easily 307 00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:50,679 Speaker 4: walked away from the nest. Thought this egg doesn't just 308 00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:52,720 Speaker 4: look dead, it is dead. 309 00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:54,960 Speaker 3: Would have happened by now. 310 00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:58,480 Speaker 4: But when God puts a promise in your heart, you. 311 00:17:58,520 --> 00:17:59,720 Speaker 3: Have to have a never. 312 00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:03,320 Speaker 4: That's a die attitude. You may not see how it 313 00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:08,080 Speaker 4: can happen. It seems too late, you're too old, the 314 00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:11,480 Speaker 4: obstacle's too big. You can come up with a thousand 315 00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:13,800 Speaker 4: reasons why it's not going to work out. 316 00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:19,200 Speaker 3: Don't talk yourself out of it. Do like her, Keep thanking. 317 00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:22,040 Speaker 4: God that it's on the way, Keep believing when it's 318 00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:26,760 Speaker 4: not improving, keep sitting on that egg, not moved by 319 00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:30,680 Speaker 4: what's not changing, walking by faith and not by sight. 320 00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:35,399 Speaker 4: Twenty years later, she walked in one day and said, 321 00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:39,040 Speaker 4: I'm pregnant. She wasn't saying it by faith. It was 322 00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:42,360 Speaker 4: a reality. She not only gave birth to one baby, 323 00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:46,040 Speaker 4: she gave birth to twins at fifty three years old. 324 00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:50,240 Speaker 3: Now, don't walk away from that nest. 325 00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:54,800 Speaker 4: Don't get discouraged because you haven't felt a kick. God 326 00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:58,960 Speaker 4: is working on the inside. What you can't see is 327 00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:00,000 Speaker 4: the promise is grown. 328 00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:01,640 Speaker 3: It's developing. 329 00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:06,760 Speaker 4: The outside looks the same. You may not see any improvement. 330 00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:09,840 Speaker 4: But if you will stay in faith life with her, 331 00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:11,840 Speaker 4: what God has spoken over. 332 00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:13,080 Speaker 3: You is on the way. 333 00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:18,280 Speaker 4: God told Abraham that he and his wife Sarah was going. 334 00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:18,960 Speaker 3: To have a baby. 335 00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:23,160 Speaker 4: Sarah had been burying all these years. Now they were 336 00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:26,560 Speaker 4: way too old to have children. But the scripture says 337 00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:31,760 Speaker 4: Abraham considered not the weakness of his own body nor 338 00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:36,840 Speaker 4: the deadness of Sarah's womb. When Abraham looked at that promise, 339 00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:39,040 Speaker 4: everything in him said. 340 00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:39,720 Speaker 3: It's dead. 341 00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:43,520 Speaker 4: You're way too old to have a baby. All the 342 00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:46,000 Speaker 4: circumstances said it would never happen. 343 00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:47,320 Speaker 3: But here's the key. 344 00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:53,320 Speaker 4: Abraham considered not what looked dead. He wasn't moved by 345 00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:57,320 Speaker 4: what he saw. You may have situations that look like 346 00:19:57,359 --> 00:20:00,080 Speaker 4: they'll never work out. You don't see how you you 347 00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:03,360 Speaker 4: could get well, how you'll meet the right person, how 348 00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:08,480 Speaker 4: you'll break the addiction. If you only consider that, you'll 349 00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:09,880 Speaker 4: get discouraged and. 350 00:20:09,880 --> 00:20:12,919 Speaker 3: Quit believing you have to do like Abraham. 351 00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:18,600 Speaker 4: Don't consider your circumstances, consider your God. I'm sure many 352 00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:22,439 Speaker 4: times Abraham was tempted to walk away from the nest. 353 00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:26,680 Speaker 4: They didn't see any sign of it happening. Year after 354 00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:30,520 Speaker 4: year went by with no baby. They never felt a kick, 355 00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:36,600 Speaker 4: never saw Sarah's womb growing. In the meantime, Abraham made mistakes, 356 00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:40,639 Speaker 4: had a baby with another lady that wasn't the promised child. 357 00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:45,439 Speaker 4: Twenty five years after God gave him the promise, God 358 00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:49,400 Speaker 4: came back to Abraham and said, now Sarah is going 359 00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:53,720 Speaker 4: to have a baby. A year later, at ninety years. 360 00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:55,560 Speaker 3: Old, she gave birth to a son. 361 00:20:56,640 --> 00:21:00,680 Speaker 4: What's interesting is no one had ever had a at 362 00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:04,480 Speaker 4: that age. It's one thing if you had seen it 363 00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:08,560 Speaker 4: happened before, if you knew your neighbor had given birth 364 00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:11,320 Speaker 4: at close to ninety, or you saw in the news 365 00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:14,240 Speaker 4: a lady gave birth at ninety, at least you could 366 00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:16,800 Speaker 4: look back and say, God, you did it for them, 367 00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:19,560 Speaker 4: I know you can do it for me. At least 368 00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:23,359 Speaker 4: you would know it was possible. This had never happened. 369 00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:27,960 Speaker 4: They had no point of reference. God has some things 370 00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:31,639 Speaker 4: in your future that have never happened. You're going to 371 00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:34,800 Speaker 4: be the first one in your family to step into 372 00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:39,119 Speaker 4: new levels of influence, the first one to run a 373 00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:43,800 Speaker 4: successful business, the first one to break the addiction, the 374 00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:47,920 Speaker 4: first one to keep your marriage together. But when we've 375 00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:52,600 Speaker 4: never seen this, it's easy to dismiss it, Joel, this 376 00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:54,400 Speaker 4: egg is never going to hatch. 377 00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:58,760 Speaker 3: No use praying, believing, expecting. It's never happened before. 378 00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:02,680 Speaker 4: No, Like with Abraham and Sarah, you're about to give 379 00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:06,520 Speaker 4: birth to something that you've never seen, something that's going 380 00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:09,960 Speaker 4: to catapult you to a new level, something where people 381 00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:12,240 Speaker 4: can see the favor. 382 00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:14,080 Speaker 3: Of God is on your line. 383 00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:18,320 Speaker 4: Now, instead of considering how big your obstacles are, why 384 00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:20,399 Speaker 4: don't you start considering. 385 00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:21,280 Speaker 3: How big your God is. 386 00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:26,159 Speaker 4: He flung stars into space, He's folk worlds into existence. 387 00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:30,600 Speaker 4: What you're up against may seem impossible, but God can 388 00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:34,159 Speaker 4: do the impossible. He can make things happen that we 389 00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:38,119 Speaker 4: could never make happen. Victoria talked to a young lady 390 00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:42,359 Speaker 4: named Sabrina. At seventeen years of age. She went into 391 00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:45,960 Speaker 4: check on her nine month old son and discovered he 392 00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:49,960 Speaker 4: wasn't breathing. She grabbed him, rushed to the neighbor's house, 393 00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:55,440 Speaker 4: and frantically started doing CPR. Unfortunately, the little boy didn't 394 00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:59,719 Speaker 4: make it. When the prosecutors saw the bruises on his 395 00:22:59,840 --> 00:23:04,600 Speaker 4: chain from the CPR, they accused the mother of abuse 396 00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:08,960 Speaker 4: that caused his death. The neighbors told how that wasn't 397 00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:09,800 Speaker 4: the case, but. 398 00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:11,120 Speaker 3: They didn't believe them. 399 00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:14,640 Speaker 4: A year later, she was found guilty of taking her 400 00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:19,440 Speaker 4: son's life and sentenced to death. Eighteen years of age. 401 00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:22,840 Speaker 4: Sitting in a prison cell twenty three hours a day 402 00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:25,840 Speaker 4: didn't look like she could fulfill her destiny. 403 00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:27,560 Speaker 3: Her dream seemed dead. 404 00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:32,080 Speaker 4: No woman had ever been released from death row. Six 405 00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:35,640 Speaker 4: years later, by the grace of God, she was granted 406 00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:39,240 Speaker 4: a new trial. This time, the neighbors were able to 407 00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:44,399 Speaker 4: testify about the CPR. A medical examiner found the little 408 00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:47,680 Speaker 4: boy had a kidney disease that he believed. 409 00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:48,159 Speaker 3: Caused the death. 410 00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:52,920 Speaker 4: December of nineteen ninety five, after six years on death row, 411 00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:58,320 Speaker 4: a jury found her not guilty. She was completely exonerated 412 00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:01,840 Speaker 4: and became the first a woman ever to be. 413 00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:03,080 Speaker 3: Released from death row. 414 00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:07,080 Speaker 4: I'm sure There were plenty of lonely nights in that 415 00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:11,000 Speaker 4: prison cell where thoughts told her you'll never get out. 416 00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:14,640 Speaker 3: It's never happened before. You can be the first. 417 00:24:15,320 --> 00:24:18,000 Speaker 4: You can be the one to set a new standard. 418 00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:20,000 Speaker 3: Don't be moved. 419 00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:23,480 Speaker 4: By what you don't see, by what you don't have, by. 420 00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:27,119 Speaker 3: Who's against you. God being for you is more than 421 00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:28,480 Speaker 3: the world being against you. 422 00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:33,720 Speaker 4: Now, maybe you're about to step away from the nest. 423 00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:37,480 Speaker 4: You know what God's promised you, but it seems impossible. 424 00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:39,280 Speaker 3: Nothing's changing. 425 00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:41,439 Speaker 4: Surely it would have happened by now. 426 00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:43,000 Speaker 3: If you walk. 427 00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:46,440 Speaker 4: Away, you're going to miss what God is about to do. 428 00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:51,320 Speaker 4: You are closer than you think. Your thirty fifth day 429 00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:55,120 Speaker 4: is going to happen sooner than it looks. You may 430 00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:59,200 Speaker 4: not see any sign of it now. When that baby 431 00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:02,680 Speaker 4: eaglet is in the egg, you can't tell when it's 432 00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:06,879 Speaker 4: about to break out. Nothing on the outside looks any different. 433 00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:10,399 Speaker 4: The shelf seems just the same as it's been day 434 00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:14,720 Speaker 4: after day. But then suddenly, when you didn't see it coming, 435 00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:19,000 Speaker 4: when everything looks the same, the door will open, your 436 00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:21,840 Speaker 4: health will turn around, The right person will show up. 437 00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:23,600 Speaker 3: You don't know what God is. 438 00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:27,520 Speaker 4: Up to behind the scenes I read where this mother 439 00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:31,199 Speaker 4: eagle has to keep the temperature of the egg at 440 00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:35,879 Speaker 4: one hundred and five degrees. If she doesn't maintain that temperature, 441 00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:39,840 Speaker 4: the eaglet won't develop. So she sits on the egg 442 00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:44,800 Speaker 4: day after day. She could be out gathering food, building 443 00:25:44,840 --> 00:25:48,720 Speaker 4: another nest, but she knows it's vital to keep the 444 00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:52,720 Speaker 4: egg warm. In the same way, you have to keep 445 00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:56,840 Speaker 4: your promise in a warm environment. The way you do 446 00:25:56,920 --> 00:26:01,840 Speaker 4: this is through praise and thanksgiving. Father, Thank you that 447 00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:05,440 Speaker 4: what you promised me is on the way. The medical 448 00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:08,760 Speaker 4: report doesn't look good, but Lord, thank you that you're 449 00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:10,280 Speaker 4: restoring health back into me. 450 00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:12,760 Speaker 3: Business is slow, but. 451 00:26:12,760 --> 00:26:15,520 Speaker 4: I'm not moved by what I see. Lord, thank you 452 00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:18,240 Speaker 4: that I will lend and not borrow. Thank You that 453 00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:23,640 Speaker 4: what I touch will prosper and succeed. Sometimes our promise 454 00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:28,280 Speaker 4: is taking longer to develop because we're complaining instead of 455 00:26:28,359 --> 00:26:32,080 Speaker 4: praising God. Why is this taking so long? When is 456 00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:33,280 Speaker 4: this ever going to change? 457 00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:33,720 Speaker 3: Now? 458 00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:37,159 Speaker 4: You have to get your promise in a warm environment. 459 00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:41,240 Speaker 4: Like my friend with the baby. For twenty years, she 460 00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:45,639 Speaker 4: sat on that promise. She was constantly thanking God that 461 00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:50,920 Speaker 4: the baby was coming. Abraham did this, He could have complained, God, 462 00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:53,399 Speaker 4: we're too old to have a baby. Why don't you 463 00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:58,120 Speaker 4: find somebody else? Or the scripture says Abraham grew strong 464 00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:01,560 Speaker 4: in faith by giving praise to God. 465 00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:03,560 Speaker 3: I can hear him all through the day. 466 00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:07,159 Speaker 4: God, it looks impossible, but I know you can do 467 00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:10,919 Speaker 4: the impossible. Thank you that the fruit of Sarah's womb 468 00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:14,280 Speaker 4: is blessed. Thank you that what you promise me I 469 00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:17,520 Speaker 4: will become that father of many nations? 470 00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:22,280 Speaker 3: Is your promise in a warm environment? Are you keeping 471 00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:22,800 Speaker 3: it in an. 472 00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:27,439 Speaker 4: Atmosphere of faith, of praise, of thanksgiving. You have to 473 00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:31,360 Speaker 4: maintain the proper temperature for the promise to come to pass. 474 00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:34,960 Speaker 3: I know many of you have been doing this. 475 00:27:35,560 --> 00:27:39,840 Speaker 4: You've been faithful year after year, believing when you don't 476 00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:44,879 Speaker 4: see anything changing. Get ready, your thirty fifth day is coming. 477 00:27:45,359 --> 00:27:49,280 Speaker 4: God is about to do something unusual, something that's never 478 00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:53,720 Speaker 4: happened for you. Now my challenge, don't walk away from 479 00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:58,159 Speaker 4: the nest, don't get weary in well doing, keep believing 480 00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:01,840 Speaker 4: even though you're not seeing. If you'll do this, I 481 00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:06,439 Speaker 4: believe and declare what you thought was dead things you 482 00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:10,200 Speaker 4: didn't see any improvement, They're about to suddenly come back 483 00:28:10,200 --> 00:28:15,760 Speaker 4: to life.
