I like to start with something 48 00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:18,359 Speaker 4: funny heard about these two professional baseball players. They were 49 00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:21,680 Speaker 4: discussing whether or not there would be baseball up in heaven, 50 00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:25,560 Speaker 4: and they made an agreement that whoever died first would 51 00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:27,960 Speaker 4: come back and tell the other one if indeed there 52 00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:31,280 Speaker 4: was baseball in heaven. A few months later, one of 53 00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:34,120 Speaker 4: the men died, and just like he promised, he came back. 54 00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:36,880 Speaker 4: He said to his friend, I've got good news and 55 00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:40,040 Speaker 4: I've got bad news. The good news is there is 56 00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:43,880 Speaker 4: baseball up in heaven. The bad news is you're scheduled 57 00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:48,760 Speaker 4: to pitch next Thursday. Hold up your Bible. Say it 58 00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:51,639 Speaker 4: like you mean it. This is my Bible. I am 59 00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:54,040 Speaker 4: what it says I am. I have what it says 60 00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:56,600 Speaker 4: I have. I can do what it says I can do. 61 00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:00,800 Speaker 4: Today I will be taught the word of Godldly confess. 62 00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:04,639 Speaker 4: My mind is alert, my heart is receptive. I will 63 00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:08,560 Speaker 4: never be the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you. 64 00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:14,000 Speaker 4: I want to talk to you today about unexpected sunshine. 65 00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:17,359 Speaker 4: A few months ago, it had been cloudy in Houston 66 00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:22,560 Speaker 4: for a long time, gray gloomy, overcast. Every morning. When 67 00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:25,080 Speaker 4: I woke up, I thought, surely it's going to be 68 00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:29,560 Speaker 4: sunny today. I looked outside eagerly, but nothing had changed. 69 00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:33,200 Speaker 4: I watched the weather reports on the news, but as 70 00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:36,360 Speaker 4: far out as they predicted, it was all cloudy. Checked 71 00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:39,640 Speaker 4: the ten day report on my phone. Nothing had changed, 72 00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:42,760 Speaker 4: no end in sight. It had been that way so 73 00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:46,839 Speaker 4: long people started asking the question, when are we ever 74 00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:50,960 Speaker 4: going to see the sun again? Sometimes it can be 75 00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:54,920 Speaker 4: that way in life. Gets cloudy in our health, cloudy 76 00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:59,040 Speaker 4: in our finances, cloudy in a relationship. Day after day 77 00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:02,480 Speaker 4: goes by it looked like it's ever going to change. 78 00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:06,000 Speaker 4: A gentleman told recently how he struggled with an addiction 79 00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:10,760 Speaker 4: since high school those dark clouds rolled in. Now thirty 80 00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:14,160 Speaker 4: years later, he's still dealing with it. Hasn't seen the sun, 81 00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:17,240 Speaker 4: And when it's been dark for a long time, it's 82 00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:19,880 Speaker 4: easy to get discouraged and think that it's never going 83 00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:23,400 Speaker 4: to change. But one morning I was in my office 84 00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:27,159 Speaker 4: looking out the window was another gray, gloomy day like 85 00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:30,560 Speaker 4: it had been again and again. But all of a sudden, 86 00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:35,719 Speaker 4: out of nowhere, the clouds broke open, and this bright 87 00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:40,240 Speaker 4: ray of sunlight came shining down. It looked like a postcard. 88 00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:44,520 Speaker 4: Was so beautiful, the sun shining through the trees, the 89 00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:48,000 Speaker 4: ground was glistening. I sat there and took it all in. 90 00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:51,880 Speaker 4: For such a welcome sight, I could feel my spirits lifting, 91 00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:55,560 Speaker 4: and in a few minutes as I watched, all the 92 00:04:55,600 --> 00:05:00,440 Speaker 4: clouds dissipated. They didn't blow away, they just went away 93 00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:04,680 Speaker 4: like fog burning off. I heard these two words in 94 00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:10,240 Speaker 4: my spirit, unexpected sunshine. Maybe it's been cloudy in your 95 00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:13,640 Speaker 4: life for a long time. Those clouds of loneliness don't 96 00:05:13,640 --> 00:05:16,200 Speaker 4: look like they'll ever leave. You don't think you'd ever 97 00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:19,200 Speaker 4: meet the right person. But can I tell you God 98 00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:24,000 Speaker 4: has unexpected sunshine. He's already lined up the person of 99 00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:28,080 Speaker 4: your dreams, just a matter of time before those clouds 100 00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:32,240 Speaker 4: open up. The medical report may say you'll never get well, 101 00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:35,520 Speaker 4: Just learn to live with it. It's cloudy in your health, 102 00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:41,480 Speaker 4: Stay encouraged. Unexpected sunshine is coming your way. Or those 103 00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:45,560 Speaker 4: clouds of struggle lack, can't get ahead may have followed 104 00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:49,880 Speaker 4: you around for years. You could easily accept mediocrity, think 105 00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:54,480 Speaker 4: you've reached your limits. No, get ready for unexpected sunshine. 106 00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:57,599 Speaker 4: One touch of God's favor can thrust you to the 107 00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:02,039 Speaker 4: next level. It may be overcast right now, gloomy in 108 00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:05,640 Speaker 4: some area of your life. The good news is those 109 00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:11,200 Speaker 4: clouds don't stop our God. He controls the clouds in 110 00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:13,840 Speaker 4: a slit second. He can cause them to open up. 111 00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:17,840 Speaker 4: Suddenly you get well, Suddenly you meet the right person, 112 00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:21,719 Speaker 4: Suddenly you're out of debt. Don't be discouraged by the clouds. 113 00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:25,839 Speaker 4: They're only temporary. It was cloudy in our life in 114 00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:29,599 Speaker 4: nineteen eighty one when my mother was diagnosed with terminal 115 00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:34,120 Speaker 4: liver cancer. Those clouds came storming in and everywhere we 116 00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:39,120 Speaker 4: looked it was dark, gloomy, depressing. The forecast said a 117 00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:43,359 Speaker 4: few weeks to live. But people don't have the final say. 118 00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:49,000 Speaker 4: God does. He said, I have unexpected sunshine. I'm going 119 00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:52,360 Speaker 4: to cause those clouds to open up. Shine down, healing, 120 00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:56,240 Speaker 4: shine down, restoration. That's what happened in my mother's life. 121 00:06:56,520 --> 00:07:00,400 Speaker 4: Unexpectedly the sun came out. Thirty four years later, she's 122 00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:05,320 Speaker 4: still healthy and hall But when it's cloudy, every voice 123 00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:09,000 Speaker 4: will tell you it's never gonna change. You'll always be addicted, 124 00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:13,679 Speaker 4: always be discouraged, always struggle in your career. Don't believe 125 00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:18,480 Speaker 4: those lies. God is saying, I have unexpected sunshine come 126 00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:22,040 Speaker 4: in your way. It's going to be unusual, out of 127 00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:26,280 Speaker 4: the ordinary, and it's going to happen Suddenly. Those clouds 128 00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:28,800 Speaker 4: are going to break open. You're going to see rays 129 00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:33,560 Speaker 4: of healing, raise of favor, raise of promotion. Now do 130 00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:37,760 Speaker 4: your part and get in agreement with God. Start acting 131 00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:41,240 Speaker 4: like it's gonna happen, thinking like it's gonna happen, talking 132 00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:44,679 Speaker 4: like it's gonna happen. No more, I'll never get well, Joel, 133 00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:48,120 Speaker 4: I've had this too long. No, God is restoring health 134 00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:51,520 Speaker 4: back into me. The number of my days he will fulfill. 135 00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:55,400 Speaker 4: No more. I never get any good breaks. I'll never 136 00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:58,360 Speaker 4: accomplish my dreams. No, I have the favor of God. 137 00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:01,680 Speaker 4: Blessings are chasing me. I'm the head and not the tail. 138 00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:05,960 Speaker 4: No more. This problem is too big. I don't see 139 00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:08,400 Speaker 4: a way out. No. It may be big, but I 140 00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:11,239 Speaker 4: know my God is bigger. May be a little cloudy 141 00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:15,280 Speaker 4: right now, but I know a secret unexpected sunshine is 142 00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:19,880 Speaker 4: coming my way, Jesus said in Matthew six twenty two. 143 00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:25,120 Speaker 4: A pure eye, let sunshine into your soul. When you 144 00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:30,040 Speaker 4: have this attitude of faith, positive, hopeful, expecting good things. 145 00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:35,040 Speaker 4: That pure eye is letting sunshine into your life. But 146 00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:39,120 Speaker 4: when we go around stressed out, worried, thinking it's never 147 00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:43,720 Speaker 4: going to change, that's stopping the sun It's causing more 148 00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:48,160 Speaker 4: clouds to roll in, more defeat, more mediocrity. You have 149 00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:52,120 Speaker 4: to start letting some sun shine into your life. It 150 00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:56,040 Speaker 4: doesn't start with God, it starts with us. Instead of 151 00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:59,480 Speaker 4: being discouraged by the dark clouds. Our attitude should be 152 00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:03,959 Speaker 4: in any moment this can change. Healing is coming, promotion 153 00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:07,000 Speaker 4: is coming, the right person is coming, breakthroughs are coming. 154 00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:10,400 Speaker 4: If you want to see the clouds open up, you 155 00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:15,480 Speaker 4: have to have this expectancy. Shake off the negativity, quit 156 00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:19,000 Speaker 4: talking about what's not working out. Turn it around. God. 157 00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:22,040 Speaker 4: I know you're in control of these clouds. They didn't 158 00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:24,560 Speaker 4: come to stay, they came to pass. I believe at 159 00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:29,440 Speaker 4: any moment, I'm going to see that unexpected sunshine. A 160 00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:32,360 Speaker 4: friend of mine had a supervisor at work that was 161 00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:36,719 Speaker 4: very condescending and hard to get along with. Nobody liked 162 00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:40,320 Speaker 4: the man, and this supervisor had been a constant source 163 00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:43,640 Speaker 4: of frustration year after year. He was a young man. 164 00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:46,480 Speaker 4: He could have easily been there for another twenty or 165 00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:50,560 Speaker 4: thirty years. And my friend had a good attitude. He 166 00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:52,920 Speaker 4: was determined to be his best right where he was. 167 00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:56,600 Speaker 4: But in the back of his mind he thought, this 168 00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:58,559 Speaker 4: is going to be a pain to have to put 169 00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:02,240 Speaker 4: up with this man the rest of them. One morning 170 00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:05,920 Speaker 4: he came to work. Everything seemed like normal, but the 171 00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:10,120 Speaker 4: management called a special staff meeting. They told how this 172 00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:15,280 Speaker 4: supervisor's wife had been transferred to another state, and just 173 00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:19,160 Speaker 4: without any warning, he resigned and was no longer with 174 00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:22,320 Speaker 4: the company. Half of the staff fell down on their 175 00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:28,200 Speaker 4: knees begin to thank God. What was that unexpected sunshine? 176 00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:33,000 Speaker 4: He didn't see it coming. The forecast was cloudy. All 177 00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:37,680 Speaker 4: the reports said this problem is permanent. But God controls 178 00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:41,959 Speaker 4: the universe. He knows how to suddenly change things. He 179 00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:46,120 Speaker 4: can suddenly move the wrong people out. He can suddenly 180 00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:50,360 Speaker 4: open doors you never dreamed would open. That's why you 181 00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:53,280 Speaker 4: can't just go by what you see. What you see 182 00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:57,320 Speaker 4: is temporary, like those weather forecasts. It may tell you 183 00:10:57,480 --> 00:11:03,040 Speaker 4: it's going to be the same month after month after year, gloomy, depressing, 184 00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:06,800 Speaker 4: it's never going to change. In the natural. That may 185 00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:09,839 Speaker 4: be true, But the good news is we serve a 186 00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:15,000 Speaker 4: supernatural God. On your own. You may be stuck, but 187 00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:18,600 Speaker 4: you're not on your own. The creator of the universe, 188 00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:23,360 Speaker 4: the god who spoke worlds into existence, has you in 189 00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:27,640 Speaker 4: the palm of his hand. He's directing your steps. He 190 00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:32,000 Speaker 4: controls the clouds, he controls the winds. He doesn't have 191 00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:34,600 Speaker 4: to wait for the weather to get better, doesn't have 192 00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:37,599 Speaker 4: to wait for the medical report to improve, doesn't have 193 00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:40,439 Speaker 4: to wait for the situation to turn around. No, when 194 00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:45,440 Speaker 4: it's your time for promotion, for healing, for abundance, all 195 00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:49,840 Speaker 4: the forces of darkness cannot stop our God. Don't get 196 00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:53,880 Speaker 4: discouraged and give up on what you're believing for you 197 00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:57,040 Speaker 4: need to get ready. Those clouds are about to open up. 198 00:11:57,640 --> 00:12:01,000 Speaker 4: The sun is about to break through. Just like I 199 00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:04,840 Speaker 4: saw in my office that day. In fifteen minutes, all 200 00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:08,199 Speaker 4: the clouds went out of the sky, totally cleared up. 201 00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:12,640 Speaker 4: God knows how to make what should have taken years 202 00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:16,240 Speaker 4: happen in a fraction of the time. You're gonna look 203 00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:19,600 Speaker 4: up and say, like my friend, I didn't see that coming. 204 00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:24,160 Speaker 4: I didn't see my supervisor resigning that quickly. I didn't 205 00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:27,800 Speaker 4: see my health improving this fast. I didn't see that 206 00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:31,120 Speaker 4: new house on the radar. I didn't see that favor coming. 207 00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:35,000 Speaker 4: A gentleman that's attended Lakewood for many years had a 208 00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:39,000 Speaker 4: major stroke. He was told by the medical professionals that 209 00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:42,400 Speaker 4: he would probably never be able to walk or talk again. 210 00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:45,600 Speaker 4: Even if he did relearn how to do it, it 211 00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:51,119 Speaker 4: would take years of rehabilitation. It looked cloudy, the forecast 212 00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:55,679 Speaker 4: was very depressing. But this man understood this principle that 213 00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:59,839 Speaker 4: God has unexpected sunshine. He didn't sit around in self. 214 00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:04,280 Speaker 4: He knew he was a victor, not a victim. He 215 00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:07,839 Speaker 4: went to therapy every day, and he amazed the therapist. 216 00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:12,600 Speaker 4: They had never seen anyone like him. Sixteen months after 217 00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:15,440 Speaker 4: he had the stroke, he came back to Lakewood for 218 00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:18,559 Speaker 4: the first time. He came back not in a wheelchair, 219 00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:21,560 Speaker 4: not on a walker. He walked in on his own 220 00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:25,160 Speaker 4: two feet. He was told that he would never be 221 00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:28,120 Speaker 4: able to lift this left arm. But when I saw 222 00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:31,120 Speaker 4: him in the lobby and our eyes met, he lifted 223 00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:35,120 Speaker 4: that arm, both arms raised in the air, raised in victory. 224 00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:41,560 Speaker 4: I'll never forget that image. He wasn't disabled, he wasn't limping. 225 00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:45,480 Speaker 4: What should have taken years, God made happen in a 226 00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:50,480 Speaker 4: fraction of the time unexpected sunshine. The scripture puts it 227 00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:55,800 Speaker 4: this way, when darkness overtakes the righteous, light will come 228 00:13:55,840 --> 00:14:01,040 Speaker 4: bursting in. Doesn't say it'll trickle in. Get there, hopefully 229 00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:06,160 Speaker 4: make it one day. No, suddenly, unexpectedly, it will come 230 00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:10,440 Speaker 4: bursting in. That means it wasn't on the radar. You 231 00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:14,120 Speaker 4: didn't see it coming, but God in his goodness, turned 232 00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:17,600 Speaker 4: it all around. It may be dark in your life 233 00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:20,720 Speaker 4: right now, cloudy in some area. You don't see how 234 00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:23,400 Speaker 4: you'd ever get well, ever get out of dead, ever 235 00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:27,920 Speaker 4: see the legal situation resolve. Here's the key. You are 236 00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:31,640 Speaker 4: the righteous, You are a child of the most High God. 237 00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:35,840 Speaker 4: You have royal blood flowing through your veins. That means 238 00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:40,080 Speaker 4: you have a promise from your creator. When it gets dark, 239 00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:43,320 Speaker 4: when you could easily be discouraged, when you feel like 240 00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:46,720 Speaker 4: giving up, God says you need to get ready. Light 241 00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:50,080 Speaker 4: is about to burst in. Healing is going to burst in, 242 00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:54,840 Speaker 4: favor is going to burst in, vindication, restoration is going 243 00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:57,960 Speaker 4: to suddenly show up. I talked to a man that 244 00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:00,720 Speaker 4: knew the Lord as a child, but when he was 245 00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:04,000 Speaker 4: a teenager he got off course, started running with the 246 00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:08,640 Speaker 4: wrong crowd. He was living a very violent life, selling drugs, 247 00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:13,080 Speaker 4: involved in crime. He was a disaster waiting to happen. 248 00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:17,880 Speaker 4: Most of his life he was high. Surely God wouldn't 249 00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:20,680 Speaker 4: have anything to do with him. It was his own fault. 250 00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:25,200 Speaker 4: He brought the trouble on himself. But God is so merciful. 251 00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:29,040 Speaker 4: Even though he was making poor choices, even though he 252 00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:32,720 Speaker 4: turned away from God, God didn't turn away from him. 253 00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:36,840 Speaker 4: God still saw him as the righteous. In the midst 254 00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:40,200 Speaker 4: of all that trouble, God said, that's my son. He 255 00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:43,880 Speaker 4: belongs to me. He is overcome by darkness, so my 256 00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:47,680 Speaker 4: light is about to come bursting in. He was in 257 00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:51,640 Speaker 4: a hotel room, been there for four days doing drugs 258 00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:55,440 Speaker 4: with some very violent people. Something happened to where he 259 00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:59,440 Speaker 4: couldn't make his payment. They became very angry and were 260 00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:03,520 Speaker 4: about to take his life. He ran and barricaded himself 261 00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:07,080 Speaker 4: in the bathroom. High on drugs, he said, this is 262 00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:10,960 Speaker 4: it God, I'm sorry, my life is over. In a 263 00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:15,840 Speaker 4: few minutes, the door was violently kicked in. He braced himself, 264 00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:19,360 Speaker 4: expecting the worst. When he looked up, it wasn't who 265 00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:22,720 Speaker 4: he thought. It was a group of young people from 266 00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:26,680 Speaker 4: Teen Challenge. He had been involved with that ministry as 267 00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:31,160 Speaker 4: a teenager. Now years later they heard that he was 268 00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:34,760 Speaker 4: in trouble. Somehow they found him in the middle of 269 00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:39,440 Speaker 4: the night in this drug infested Rundown hotel, just in 270 00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:43,000 Speaker 4: the nick of time. They burst in there like navy seals. 271 00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:46,120 Speaker 4: The other people thought they were the police and took 272 00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:50,800 Speaker 4: off running. They picked him up off the ground, said 273 00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:54,200 Speaker 4: God sent us here to rescue you because you belonged 274 00:16:54,200 --> 00:17:00,200 Speaker 4: to him. That night was the turning point in his life. 275 00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:04,680 Speaker 4: He never did another drug God out of that violent lifestyle. 276 00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:08,639 Speaker 4: Today he goes around to schools and churches telling people 277 00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:12,640 Speaker 4: what God has done for him. Maybe, like this young man, 278 00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:15,680 Speaker 4: you have a son, a daughter, a family member that's 279 00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:19,600 Speaker 4: off course, running with the wrong crowd. They've been overcome 280 00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:23,840 Speaker 4: by darkness. You could easily be discouraged, but stay in faith. 281 00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:28,560 Speaker 4: Your child belongs to God. There's nothing that can snatch 282 00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:32,119 Speaker 4: them out of his hand. They may be in darkness, 283 00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:36,240 Speaker 4: but light is coming, Deliverance is coming, Freedom is coming. 284 00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:40,399 Speaker 4: God is not judging them by where they are right now. 285 00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:44,800 Speaker 4: God is not abandoning them because they turned their back. 286 00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:49,080 Speaker 4: God still sees them as the righteous. Light is still 287 00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:53,440 Speaker 4: about to burst in or maybe you've made poor choices. 288 00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:57,160 Speaker 4: You don't think you could expect anything good, Joel, God 289 00:17:57,200 --> 00:17:59,760 Speaker 4: would never help me. You don't know the life that 290 00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:03,480 Speaker 4: I live. It doesn't say God will help the righteous 291 00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:06,800 Speaker 4: as long as you don't make any mistakes. Have a 292 00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:11,000 Speaker 4: new perspective. You belong to God. You are his child. 293 00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:14,280 Speaker 4: Now you have to have this attitude God, I made 294 00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:17,320 Speaker 4: this mess. I brought this trouble on myself. But I 295 00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:20,359 Speaker 4: know You're a God of mercy. I believe you still 296 00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:24,520 Speaker 4: have unexpected sunshine come in my way. In other words, 297 00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:27,639 Speaker 4: I'm struggling with this addiction, but I believe deliverance is 298 00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:31,680 Speaker 4: on the way. Restoration, vindication is going to suddenly show 299 00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:36,320 Speaker 4: up numbers. Chapter seventeen, there had been a power struggle 300 00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:39,840 Speaker 4: over who would become the next priest. The people were 301 00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:43,840 Speaker 4: questioning moses authority. God told Moses he was going to 302 00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:47,560 Speaker 4: show them who the priest should be, and God instructed 303 00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:51,439 Speaker 4: Moses to take the staffs, the walking sticks, from the 304 00:18:51,560 --> 00:18:55,439 Speaker 4: leaders of each of the tribes of Israel. He placed 305 00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:58,560 Speaker 4: these walking sticks in a tent next to the Ark 306 00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:02,080 Speaker 4: of the Covenant. That's where God lived. Back there, these 307 00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:05,919 Speaker 4: staffs were just old, dried up dead pieces of wood, 308 00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:09,119 Speaker 4: just basically a stick that they had used for years. 309 00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:13,880 Speaker 4: The next morning, the staff of Erin had sprouted branches, 310 00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:19,520 Speaker 4: grown leaves, and even produced almonds. Here this old piece 311 00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:23,600 Speaker 4: of dead wood was now blooming and blossoming. They knew 312 00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:27,080 Speaker 4: Erin was supposed to be the priest. One lesson we 313 00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:30,560 Speaker 4: can learn from this story is that God can change 314 00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:35,240 Speaker 4: things overnight. He can take a situation that should take 315 00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:40,160 Speaker 4: years to resolve and accelerat it. You may think it's 316 00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:42,840 Speaker 4: going to take years to get well, years to get 317 00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:46,119 Speaker 4: out of debt, years to accomplish your dreams. God knows 318 00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:50,280 Speaker 4: how to speed it up. One good break, one phone call, 319 00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:56,280 Speaker 4: one idea, Suddenly, unexpectedly overnight, God can change it now. 320 00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:58,879 Speaker 4: Don't believe the lies that it's never going to get better. 321 00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:04,320 Speaker 4: I'm marriage situation, it looks dead, my dreams, my financial situation, 322 00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:08,280 Speaker 4: it all looks dead. That's okay. God took a stick 323 00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:11,639 Speaker 4: that it had been dead for years and caused it 324 00:20:11,680 --> 00:20:15,760 Speaker 4: to produce new fruit. What you think is dead, God 325 00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:19,719 Speaker 4: is saying I can still cause it to bloom, to blossom. 326 00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:22,680 Speaker 4: I can breathe new life in it. You can still 327 00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:26,240 Speaker 4: become who you were created to be. You can still 328 00:20:26,280 --> 00:20:31,000 Speaker 4: overcome that obstacle, You can still accomplish your dreams. I 329 00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:33,560 Speaker 4: received a letter from a lady that had been married 330 00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:37,680 Speaker 4: for forty seven years, but because of some hurtful things 331 00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:41,119 Speaker 4: in the relationship, she and her husband had recently gotten 332 00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:45,960 Speaker 4: a divorce. Somebody invited her to Lakewood. Her ex husband 333 00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:49,120 Speaker 4: heard and asked if he could come. The Saturday night 334 00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:52,520 Speaker 4: before the service, they had a big disagreement on the phone. 335 00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:55,959 Speaker 4: Nothing had changed. Sunday morning, he went and picked her up, 336 00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:58,360 Speaker 4: and on the way over in the car, they had 337 00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:02,640 Speaker 4: another major argument. She was so upset she almost got 338 00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:05,760 Speaker 4: out and wouldn't come in. They finally arrived and went 339 00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:08,359 Speaker 4: way up to the top to sit. She mentioned to 340 00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:11,040 Speaker 4: an usher that it was their first time they were visiting. 341 00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:13,919 Speaker 4: He said, oh, follow me. He took them from the 342 00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:17,040 Speaker 4: very top to the front section and sat them on 343 00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:20,840 Speaker 4: the second road. They were very moved by the service. 344 00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:24,280 Speaker 4: During the prayer time, they came up and prayed with 345 00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:28,320 Speaker 4: one of our volunteer prayer partners, a young lady. After 346 00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:30,760 Speaker 4: the service, being new, they didn't really know where to go, 347 00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:33,640 Speaker 4: so they walked out this exit right over here by 348 00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:36,879 Speaker 4: my left I was coming out of a small room. 349 00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:40,520 Speaker 4: She was coming around a corner and we literally bumped 350 00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:43,200 Speaker 4: into each other. I said, oh, I'm sorry, I didn't 351 00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:46,119 Speaker 4: see you out of all the people here. She was 352 00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:49,959 Speaker 4: surprised that she bumped into me. Her husband spoke up 353 00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:53,880 Speaker 4: and said, we just got divorced after forty seven years. 354 00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:57,720 Speaker 4: We came to church because we're hurting. I told them 355 00:21:57,920 --> 00:22:00,720 Speaker 4: it wasn't a coincidence that we had bumped into each other. 356 00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:04,639 Speaker 4: It was the hand of God directing their steps. I 357 00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:07,959 Speaker 4: had a new book that was out and asked them 358 00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:09,959 Speaker 4: if they'd come upstairs with me, and I gave them 359 00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:12,600 Speaker 4: a copy of my book, and we prayed together. And 360 00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:15,800 Speaker 4: as they were leaving through that lobby, thousands of people 361 00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:19,240 Speaker 4: walking in and out, it just so happened they bumped 362 00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:21,920 Speaker 4: in to the young lady that had prayed with them 363 00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:25,880 Speaker 4: during the service, that volunteer prayer partner. She asked if 364 00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:28,439 Speaker 4: this couple had a moment that they could talk together. 365 00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:34,159 Speaker 4: She spoke to them about forgiveness, restoration, new beginnings. The 366 00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:37,439 Speaker 4: wife was having a hard time forgiving. She looked her 367 00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:40,600 Speaker 4: in the eyes and said, your husband is a good man. 368 00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:45,040 Speaker 4: He deserves your forgiveness. That moment she released the hurt. 369 00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:49,439 Speaker 4: Their marriage was restored. That was six years ago. Today 370 00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:52,000 Speaker 4: they are happily remarried right here on the front road. 371 00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:57,760 Speaker 4: John and Anne, some of our most faithful volunteers, really 372 00:22:57,800 --> 00:23:03,640 Speaker 4: great people. Wrote at the end of the letter, Joel, 373 00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:09,320 Speaker 4: We were both stunned at how quickly God turned things around. Friends. 374 00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:13,560 Speaker 4: God knows how to change things overnight, even situations that 375 00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:17,480 Speaker 4: look impossible, you think it's way too far gone. God 376 00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:20,879 Speaker 4: knows how to break through those dark clouds Suddenly the 377 00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:25,199 Speaker 4: relationship is restored. Suddenly you get healthy again. Suddenly you 378 00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:29,000 Speaker 4: get that break you need. God is going to accelerate 379 00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:33,080 Speaker 4: what you think should take years. You know what that 380 00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:35,960 Speaker 4: usher was that brought them from the top down to 381 00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:41,000 Speaker 4: the front. Unexpected sunshine. You know what that volunteer prayer 382 00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:44,639 Speaker 4: partner was that took time to speak faith into their life, 383 00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:49,119 Speaker 4: that prayed within that day. Unexpected sunshine. What am I saying? 384 00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:52,439 Speaker 4: God has the right people lined up for you. He 385 00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:54,560 Speaker 4: knows how to put you at the right place at 386 00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:59,199 Speaker 4: the right time. What are the chances all the people 387 00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:02,760 Speaker 4: here that we would bump into each other. It wasn't 388 00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:07,720 Speaker 4: a coincidence, It was unexpected sunshine. You may think, Joe, 389 00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:09,760 Speaker 4: in my situation, I don't see how it could ever 390 00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:12,840 Speaker 4: work out. Here's the beauty. You don't have to figure 391 00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:16,399 Speaker 4: it out. All you have to do is believe. Just 392 00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:19,280 Speaker 4: because you don't see a way doesn't mean that God 393 00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:23,080 Speaker 4: doesn't have a way. He already has the solution. Our 394 00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:26,560 Speaker 4: attitude should be God, my life is in your hands. 395 00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:29,560 Speaker 4: It's a little cloudy right now. I don't see how 396 00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:32,879 Speaker 4: it could accomplish my dreams. But God, I believe you 397 00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:36,800 Speaker 4: have unexpected sunshine come in my way. I believe you'll 398 00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:40,560 Speaker 4: get me to where I'm supposed to be. The Psalmists 399 00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:44,040 Speaker 4: put it this way. Weeping may endure for a night, 400 00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:48,680 Speaker 4: but joy is coming in the morning. Think about this, 401 00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:55,560 Speaker 4: Morning starts at midnight. At midnight, it's still dark, but 402 00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:58,879 Speaker 4: it's a new day. In a few hours. Light is coming. 403 00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:02,080 Speaker 4: The sun's going to right for it. But too often 404 00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:04,360 Speaker 4: when it's dark in our life, we think, oh, man, 405 00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:07,960 Speaker 4: nothing's changing, Joe, that's never going to get any better. No, 406 00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:11,520 Speaker 4: you have to believe that you pass midnight. You have 407 00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:14,720 Speaker 4: to believe that you've entered into a new day. And 408 00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:18,600 Speaker 4: here's the key. Don't wait to thank God until you 409 00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:22,320 Speaker 4: see the sunshine. Dare to thank him while it's still dark. 410 00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:27,880 Speaker 4: Dare to have a good attitude while it's still cloudy. 411 00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:31,400 Speaker 4: This is what faith is all about. We think, when 412 00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:34,879 Speaker 4: I see it, I'll believe it. But faith says you 413 00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:38,040 Speaker 4: have to believe it and then you'll see it. But 414 00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:40,480 Speaker 4: when things aren't going our way, it's easy to do 415 00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:44,240 Speaker 4: just the opposite, get negative, complain Why can't I get 416 00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:46,960 Speaker 4: any good breaks? When is this ever going to change? 417 00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:51,000 Speaker 4: It's no turn it around. It may be dark right now, 418 00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:53,840 Speaker 4: but Lord, I believe I've entered into a new day. 419 00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:56,520 Speaker 4: I believe I've passed midnight. So I want to thank 420 00:25:56,560 --> 00:25:59,800 Speaker 4: you that joy is coming, healing is coming the right person, 421 00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:04,720 Speaker 4: The breakthrough is coming. Lord, thank you for your unexpected sunshine. 422 00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:08,160 Speaker 4: You live like that, You're going to see some sudden leaves. 423 00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:11,439 Speaker 4: Those clouds are going to break open. God will amaze 424 00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:14,840 Speaker 4: you with his goodness. This couple I know were at 425 00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:18,040 Speaker 4: the beach. They were in the water, playing in the waves, 426 00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:20,520 Speaker 4: having a lot of fun, and at one point the 427 00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:24,720 Speaker 4: lady felt her expensive diamond necklace slip off of her 428 00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:27,480 Speaker 4: neck into the water, and they were right at the 429 00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:30,760 Speaker 4: place where the waves were breaking. The water was all 430 00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:34,399 Speaker 4: stirred up like a washing machine. She and her husband 431 00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:38,280 Speaker 4: looked hour and after hour, but it was impossible. The 432 00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:41,760 Speaker 4: water was so turbulent they had no chance of finding it. 433 00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:44,840 Speaker 4: And even though she was disappointed that she lost it, 434 00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:47,760 Speaker 4: she didn't let it steal her joy or sour the 435 00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:51,280 Speaker 4: rest of her vacation. The next morning, she went out 436 00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:55,040 Speaker 4: to the beach very early to enjoy the beautiful sunrise, 437 00:26:55,880 --> 00:26:59,480 Speaker 4: standing there in the surf, thanking God for what he 438 00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:04,080 Speaker 4: had done, not even thinking about her necklace under her foot. 439 00:27:04,160 --> 00:27:07,920 Speaker 4: As the waves retreated, it pulled more and more sand out, 440 00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:11,280 Speaker 4: little by little. In a few minutes, she felt something 441 00:27:11,359 --> 00:27:14,800 Speaker 4: sharp poking her foot. She thought it was a raw asatiell. 442 00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:20,240 Speaker 4: She looked down. It was her diamond necklace. Unexpected sunshine. 443 00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:24,760 Speaker 4: Only God could make that happen. That's like finding a 444 00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:29,960 Speaker 4: needle in the haystack. The good news. God created the haystack. 445 00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:33,840 Speaker 4: He knows where everything is. He tells every grain of 446 00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:37,600 Speaker 4: sand where to go. He controls the sea, he controls 447 00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:41,200 Speaker 4: the clouds. If God can help her find a necklace 448 00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:43,960 Speaker 4: in the ocean, he can bring your dreams to pass. 449 00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:46,600 Speaker 4: He can help you overcome that problem. He has it 450 00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:50,160 Speaker 4: all figured out, well, Joel, I don't have the connections. 451 00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:54,080 Speaker 4: That's okay. He does. I don't have the resources. That's 452 00:27:54,119 --> 00:27:57,359 Speaker 4: all right. He owns it all well. The medical report 453 00:27:57,400 --> 00:28:00,720 Speaker 4: says no way. God has the final say. He says, 454 00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:04,119 Speaker 4: yes way. It may be cloudy in your life, but 455 00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:07,639 Speaker 4: I can sense in my spirit those clouds are about 456 00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:10,360 Speaker 4: to open up. You need to get ready. You are 457 00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:13,960 Speaker 4: close to a breakthrough. It's going to happen sooner than 458 00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:17,399 Speaker 4: you think.
