I 48 00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:18,560 Speaker 3: like to start with something funny, and I heard about 49 00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:22,240 Speaker 3: these three men that were traveling together, a Hindu priest, 50 00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:26,680 Speaker 3: a Jewish rabbi, and a televangelist. They stopped at a 51 00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:29,960 Speaker 3: farmhouse for lodging. Farmers said, I only have room for 52 00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:32,280 Speaker 3: two of you in the house. Somebody will have to 53 00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:34,960 Speaker 3: stay out in the barn. The Hindu priest said, I'll 54 00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:37,040 Speaker 3: do it in a few minutes. There was a knock 55 00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:38,920 Speaker 3: on the door. He said, I can't stay out there. 56 00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:42,079 Speaker 3: There's a cow and cows are sacred in our religion. 57 00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:45,160 Speaker 3: The Jewish rabbi said, I'll do it. A few minutes. 58 00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:47,400 Speaker 3: A knock on the door said I can't stay out there. 59 00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:50,720 Speaker 3: There was a pig and that wouldn't be kosher. The 60 00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:53,560 Speaker 3: televangel said, okay, I'll do it. A few minutes there 61 00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:55,520 Speaker 3: was a knock on the door. It was the cow 62 00:02:55,600 --> 00:03:00,800 Speaker 3: and the pig. Hold up your Bible. Say it like 63 00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:03,680 Speaker 3: you mean it. This is my Bible. I am what 64 00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:06,080 Speaker 3: it says, I am, I have what it says I have. 65 00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:09,079 Speaker 3: I can do what it says I can do. Today, 66 00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:12,400 Speaker 3: I will be taught the word of God. I'll boldly confess. 67 00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:16,240 Speaker 3: My mind is alert, my heart is receptive. I will 68 00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:19,960 Speaker 3: never be the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you. 69 00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:24,000 Speaker 3: I want to talk to you today about all is well. 70 00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:27,920 Speaker 3: It's easy to go through life worried about the future, 71 00:03:28,600 --> 00:03:32,400 Speaker 3: frustrated because the dream is taking so long, upset because 72 00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:36,800 Speaker 3: somebody did us wrong. But instead of complaining about the difficulty, 73 00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:40,080 Speaker 3: instead of being sour because your plans didn't work out, 74 00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:44,920 Speaker 3: you need to remember these three simple words. All is well. 75 00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:49,200 Speaker 3: God is still on the throne. He's directing your steps. 76 00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:52,320 Speaker 3: He wouldn't have allowed it unless he had a purpose 77 00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:56,200 Speaker 3: for it. When you're tempted to get discouraged, keep reminding 78 00:03:56,240 --> 00:04:00,600 Speaker 3: yourself all is well. I lost my biggest client. I'm 79 00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:03,320 Speaker 3: not stressed over it. I know something better is coming. 80 00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:06,640 Speaker 3: All is well. I was cheated in a business deal. 81 00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:09,880 Speaker 3: That's all right. God is my vindicator. All is well. 82 00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:13,360 Speaker 3: Prayed for my loved one, but they didn't make it. 83 00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:17,039 Speaker 3: I'm not bitter. I know they're in heaven rejoicing, where 84 00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:20,760 Speaker 3: there is no pain. All is well. When you have this, 85 00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:25,560 Speaker 3: all is well attitude. There's a peace, a rest. It 86 00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:29,240 Speaker 3: takes the pressure off. You don't live on a roller coaster. 87 00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:32,200 Speaker 3: You know, all is well when you're on the mountaintop, 88 00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:35,840 Speaker 3: and all is well in the valley, all is well 89 00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:38,920 Speaker 3: when business is great, and all is well when it's 90 00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:42,320 Speaker 3: not so great. You have a made up mind. You 91 00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:45,760 Speaker 3: know God is bigger than any obstacle. As long as 92 00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:49,120 Speaker 3: you stay in faith, nothing can keep you from your destiny. 93 00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:53,600 Speaker 3: That's what three Hebrew teenagers did in the scripture shad 94 00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:57,400 Speaker 3: Rak Meejak of Indigo. They refuse to bow down to 95 00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:01,039 Speaker 3: the king's golden idol. They were about to thrown into 96 00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:05,279 Speaker 3: a fiery furnace. They could have complained, God is not fair. 97 00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:08,960 Speaker 3: We're doing your will, and look what happens now. They 98 00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:11,760 Speaker 3: said to the king, we're not gonna bow. We know 99 00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:16,240 Speaker 3: our God will deliver us, but even if he doesn't, 100 00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:20,279 Speaker 3: we're still not going to bow. They were saying, all 101 00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:23,400 Speaker 3: is well if it goes our way, and all is 102 00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:26,320 Speaker 3: well if it doesn't go our way, all is well 103 00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:29,200 Speaker 3: if our prayers get answered, and all is well if 104 00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:32,640 Speaker 3: they don't get answered. The king had them thrown into 105 00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:36,480 Speaker 3: that furnace. It should have instantly killed them. He came 106 00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:39,240 Speaker 3: back and checked a little later, said to the guards, 107 00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:43,239 Speaker 3: didn't we throw three men in bound? I see four 108 00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:46,279 Speaker 3: men loose, and one looks like the Son of God. 109 00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:50,720 Speaker 3: When you know, all is well, the creator of the 110 00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:54,240 Speaker 3: universe will make things happen that you could never make happen, 111 00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:58,360 Speaker 3: like these teenagers. You may be in a situation where 112 00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:02,920 Speaker 3: you don't see a way out. You could be discouraged, upset, stressed. No, 113 00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:06,920 Speaker 3: you need to start declaring all as well. I'm struggling 114 00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:09,880 Speaker 3: in my marriage, but I'm not living stressed. All is well. 115 00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:13,640 Speaker 3: I'm dealing with this addiction, not where I thought i'd 116 00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:16,840 Speaker 3: be in life, but I'm not discouraged. God is still 117 00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:19,960 Speaker 3: working on me. I'm not a finished product. All is well. 118 00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:24,960 Speaker 3: I never thought i'd be facing this legal problem, this sickness, 119 00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:28,520 Speaker 3: this divorce, this bankruptcy. But can I tell you all 120 00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:31,640 Speaker 3: is well, I'm at peace. I know God is in 121 00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:35,880 Speaker 3: complete control. Maybe you're single. You thought you would have 122 00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:39,480 Speaker 3: met somebody by now, let me encourage you. All is well. 123 00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:43,160 Speaker 3: God already has the right person lined up for you. 124 00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:46,719 Speaker 3: They are in your future. Now stay in agreement with God. 125 00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:49,720 Speaker 3: Don't go around thinking, oh, it's never gonna happen, nor 126 00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:53,440 Speaker 3: have this attitude. All is well. Maybe your child made 127 00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:57,640 Speaker 3: some poor choices. Worrying is not going to help. Losing 128 00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:00,880 Speaker 3: sleep doesn't make it better. All through the let this 129 00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:04,360 Speaker 3: phrase play in your mind. All is well. You'll hear 130 00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:08,120 Speaker 3: the voice. What if he doesn't change answer back? All 131 00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:11,160 Speaker 3: is well? What if he gets in more trouble? All 132 00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:14,160 Speaker 3: is well? What if it doesn't work out? All is well? 133 00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:19,320 Speaker 3: Replace the thoughts of worry with all is well. Maybe 134 00:07:19,360 --> 00:07:22,480 Speaker 3: the medical report wasn't good. It would be easy to 135 00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:25,400 Speaker 3: let those words play all day long. You're not gonna 136 00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:28,480 Speaker 3: make it, Learn to live with it. No, turn off 137 00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:32,080 Speaker 3: that recording. Put on this new recording. All is well. 138 00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:35,880 Speaker 3: The number of my days God will fulfilled. Nothing can 139 00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:39,480 Speaker 3: snatch me out of his hands. Or perhaps a legal 140 00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:42,760 Speaker 3: situation you don't like it. It wasn't fair, But all 141 00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:46,120 Speaker 3: is well, it says in Psalms, the trap the enemy 142 00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:49,720 Speaker 3: set for me, they will fall in themselves. When you 143 00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:54,440 Speaker 3: meditate on this simple phrase, all is well, you're saying God, 144 00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:58,520 Speaker 3: I trust you. You're bigger than this problem. You can 145 00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:04,280 Speaker 3: turn any situation around. It's interesting the Hebrew teenagers were 146 00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:07,920 Speaker 3: doing the right thing. When the wrong thing happened to them. 147 00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:13,280 Speaker 3: Being in God's perfect will doesn't mean we won't have difficulties. 148 00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:19,560 Speaker 3: You can't reach your destiny without opposition, unfair situations, people 149 00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:23,240 Speaker 3: doing you wrong. When things come against you, it's easy 150 00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:27,360 Speaker 3: to think, Joel, all is not well. Look at these difficulties. Now. 151 00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:31,400 Speaker 3: The truth is, the enemy wouldn't be fighting you unless 152 00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:34,920 Speaker 3: he knew God had something amazing in your future. You 153 00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:37,920 Speaker 3: can stay in faith, You can declare all is well, 154 00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:42,040 Speaker 3: knowing that that opposition is a sign that's something great 155 00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:46,200 Speaker 3: is coming. In fact, the scripture says, don't be surprised 156 00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:50,000 Speaker 3: when you face various trials. Don't get bent out of 157 00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:53,880 Speaker 3: shape because life through you accurbd you had an unexpected challenge. 158 00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:59,240 Speaker 3: Sometimes we face difficulties not because we're doing something wrong, 159 00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:03,439 Speaker 3: but because we're doing something right. Jesus told a parable 160 00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:07,320 Speaker 3: about this. In Matthew chapter thirteen. A farmer went out 161 00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:11,560 Speaker 3: and planted wheat in his field. He sowed good seed. 162 00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:15,319 Speaker 3: He was doing the right thing. But at night, while 163 00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:19,520 Speaker 3: he slept, an enemy snuck in and planted weeds in 164 00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:23,640 Speaker 3: his soil. When it came time for harvest, the weeds 165 00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:27,480 Speaker 3: popped up with the wheat. He thought, where did this 166 00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:31,360 Speaker 3: come from? I didn't sow these seeds. Any time, you're 167 00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:36,280 Speaker 3: doing the right thing, honoring God, being productive, helping others. 168 00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:40,400 Speaker 3: Don't be surprised if you find some weeds among your 169 00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:44,160 Speaker 3: wheat like this farmer. Doesn't mean you've done anything wrong. 170 00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:48,200 Speaker 3: We think. I've been loyal to this company for twenty years. 171 00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:51,160 Speaker 3: How could they treat me badly? I raised my child. 172 00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:54,400 Speaker 3: Right now he's veering off course. I just don't understand it. 173 00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:58,880 Speaker 3: Those are simply weeds that the enemy has sown into 174 00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:03,280 Speaker 3: your field. The good news is those weeds cannot keep 175 00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:06,520 Speaker 3: you from your destiny. If that trouble was going to 176 00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:10,360 Speaker 3: stop God's plan, he would have never permitted it. What 177 00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:15,000 Speaker 3: I've learned is the weeds always pop up right before 178 00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:18,800 Speaker 3: the harvest. Your business slows down, a child acts up. 179 00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:21,520 Speaker 3: If you have trouble in a relationship, don't panic. You 180 00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:25,600 Speaker 3: are close to your breakthrough. Your harvest is about to come. 181 00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:28,720 Speaker 3: That's why the weeds are popping up and instead of 182 00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:32,520 Speaker 3: falling apart, God, why did this happen? Know our attitude 183 00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:35,960 Speaker 3: should be snowbe deal. It's just another weed. I didn't 184 00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:38,679 Speaker 3: sow it. I don't have to reap it. God said 185 00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:41,600 Speaker 3: he would take care of it for me. If for 186 00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:44,880 Speaker 3: some reason you were to lose your job, don't panic. 187 00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:48,280 Speaker 3: That's just a weed popping up. You stay in faith 188 00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:50,920 Speaker 3: and God will give you a better job. If the 189 00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:55,199 Speaker 3: medical report is negative, don't get discouraged. See that sickness 190 00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:58,880 Speaker 3: as a weed. It cannot stop you. You're a child 191 00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:01,319 Speaker 3: of the most high God, God. You have the most 192 00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:06,120 Speaker 3: powerful force in the universe breathing in your direction. Maybe 193 00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:09,880 Speaker 3: somebody walked out of a relationship. Did you wrong cause 194 00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:12,000 Speaker 3: you a lot of pain. Next time you see them 195 00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:17,760 Speaker 3: under your breath, just say hello, weed. You don't need 196 00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:21,800 Speaker 3: them to become who God's created you to be. I 197 00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:25,720 Speaker 3: didn't say say it to their face. Now, this parable 198 00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:30,040 Speaker 3: ends with the workers asking the farmer should we go 199 00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:33,600 Speaker 3: pull up the weeds? He said no, just wait and 200 00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:37,440 Speaker 3: at the right time, they will be destroyed. God is 201 00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:40,560 Speaker 3: saying that to us, the weeds that pop up, the 202 00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:44,360 Speaker 3: unexpected challenges, the sickness, the trouble at work. You don't 203 00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:48,000 Speaker 3: have to fight those battles. Don't spend all your life 204 00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:51,400 Speaker 3: trying to pull up the weeds. You can't fix everything 205 00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:54,520 Speaker 3: in your own strength. And if you're constantly trying to 206 00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:59,480 Speaker 3: straighten this person out, fix this problem, make this situation resolve. 207 00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:04,000 Speaker 3: You'll be frustrated. The scripture says, those who have believed 208 00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:08,280 Speaker 3: enter into rest. At some point, you got to say, God, 209 00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:12,040 Speaker 3: I'm trusting you to take care of my weeds. You 210 00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:15,640 Speaker 3: keep honoring God being your best, and God will move 211 00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:18,680 Speaker 3: the wrong people out of the way. God will restore 212 00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:22,080 Speaker 3: what's been stolen. God will straighten out the situation at 213 00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:26,400 Speaker 3: work at home. For you, the battle is not yours. 214 00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:30,640 Speaker 3: The battle is the Lord's. Be still and know that 215 00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:36,679 Speaker 3: he is God. See, we shouldn't always be wrought up, uptight, worried, frustrated, 216 00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:41,680 Speaker 3: trying to fix this, rebuke and resistant. A mature attitude says, Hey, 217 00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:45,480 Speaker 3: everything's not perfect in my life. I have some struggles, 218 00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:48,320 Speaker 3: some situations I wish were different. But can I tell 219 00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:52,480 Speaker 3: you all is well. I'm at peace, I'm not worried. 220 00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:54,960 Speaker 3: I know at the right time, God will take care 221 00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:58,559 Speaker 3: of my weeds. Until then, I'm gonna relax and enjoy 222 00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:04,680 Speaker 3: my life. But too often we're frustrated by the difficulties. 223 00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:08,960 Speaker 3: We have to realize we can't have a harvest without 224 00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:12,080 Speaker 3: a few weeds. David would have never made it to 225 00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:15,840 Speaker 3: the throne without Goliath a big weed. We would have 226 00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:19,360 Speaker 3: never acquired this beautiful facility without a three and a 227 00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:22,800 Speaker 3: half year lawsuit. There will be weeds in all of 228 00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:25,880 Speaker 3: our lives. We're not always going to understand where they 229 00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:30,320 Speaker 3: came from, why it happened. Don't get discouraged. Just keep 230 00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:34,600 Speaker 3: moving forward, knowing that all is well and God promises 231 00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:38,000 Speaker 3: he will take care of your weeds. I know a 232 00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:41,600 Speaker 3: young couple. For ten years, they'd been saving up to 233 00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:45,800 Speaker 3: buy their first house. They were so excited. At one point, 234 00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:48,520 Speaker 3: everything came together. They found the house they wanted, they 235 00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:51,640 Speaker 3: had the funds. But on the day they were to 236 00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:54,880 Speaker 3: sign the closing papers, the young lady was at the 237 00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:59,040 Speaker 3: realator's office finalizing the details when she got a phone 238 00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:02,120 Speaker 3: call from her husband saying that he had just lost 239 00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:05,640 Speaker 3: his job. He'd been with this company for six years, 240 00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:09,600 Speaker 3: always had a great attitude, did his best, but his 241 00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:14,640 Speaker 3: supervisor didn't like him for years, treated him unfairly. What 242 00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:18,240 Speaker 3: was that a weed? Just before the harvest came, that 243 00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:22,600 Speaker 3: weed popped up and they could have been discouraged. God, 244 00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:26,000 Speaker 3: I can't believe this happened. Now they had this same attitude. 245 00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:29,560 Speaker 3: All is well. God, we don't understand it, but it's 246 00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:32,960 Speaker 3: not a surprise to you. When he wasn't interviewing for 247 00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:37,400 Speaker 3: another job, he'd come up to Lakewood and volunteer week 248 00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:40,760 Speaker 3: after week. Didn't look like anything was happening. But when 249 00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:45,400 Speaker 3: you see those weeds popping up, those unexpected challenges, you're 250 00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:48,000 Speaker 3: doing the right thing, but the wrong thing is happening. 251 00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:52,760 Speaker 3: That's a sign that your harvest is getting closer. Five 252 00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:56,080 Speaker 3: months later, he got a call from his old company. 253 00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:59,720 Speaker 3: Hadn't spoken to them since he was let go, and 254 00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:03,800 Speaker 3: executive from the headquarters informed him they had fired his 255 00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:07,280 Speaker 3: old supervisor and put a new management team in place 256 00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:10,360 Speaker 3: and wanted him to come back. They not only offered 257 00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:13,880 Speaker 3: him his same position, but they restored all of his benefits, 258 00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:18,320 Speaker 3: all of his seniority, all of his retirement. They went 259 00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:20,720 Speaker 3: back and checked on the house they wanted to buy. 260 00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:23,680 Speaker 3: It was still there, just like it had been waiting 261 00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:27,720 Speaker 3: on them. Today, he's not only excelling in his career, 262 00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:30,720 Speaker 3: but they're living in that house of their dreams as 263 00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:34,240 Speaker 3: happy as can be. God knows how to get rid 264 00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:37,400 Speaker 3: of the weeds in your life. Ladies, Quit looking at 265 00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:41,960 Speaker 3: your husband that man is not a weed. In Second King, 266 00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:46,120 Speaker 3: chapter four, Elisha prophesied to a lady that she would 267 00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:49,320 Speaker 3: have a baby she had been baring her whole life. 268 00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:52,360 Speaker 3: Sure enough, the next year she had a son. She 269 00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:55,800 Speaker 3: was thrilled. When the boy was about ten years old, 270 00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:58,680 Speaker 3: he was out in the field playing, his head began 271 00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:02,040 Speaker 3: to hurt. Harried him to his house, where he later 272 00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:06,720 Speaker 3: died in his mother's arms. You can imagine how heartbroken 273 00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:11,160 Speaker 3: distraught this woman must have been after waiting all these years, 274 00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:15,040 Speaker 3: Now her only son is gone. She got on a 275 00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:19,920 Speaker 3: horse and took off full speed toward Elisia's house at 276 00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:24,560 Speaker 3: Mount Carmel. Elisha saw her coming from a great distance, 277 00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:28,040 Speaker 3: the dust billowing in the air, and he was concerned. 278 00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:31,840 Speaker 3: He said to his assistant gahes I, go check with 279 00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:34,720 Speaker 3: the woman and see if something is wrong. He jumped 280 00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:37,200 Speaker 3: on his horse. Gahes I did and cut the woman 281 00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:39,760 Speaker 3: off at the path and said, ma'am, let me ask you, 282 00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:45,280 Speaker 3: Elisha is concerned? Is anything wrong? Without hesitating, she said no, 283 00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:50,000 Speaker 3: all is well, kept going full speed toward Elisiha's house. 284 00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:53,600 Speaker 3: Gahes I thought that doesn't make sense, caught back up 285 00:16:53,600 --> 00:16:55,680 Speaker 3: to her a second time. Ma'am, let me ask one 286 00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:59,600 Speaker 3: more time. Is everything okay at your house? She said, yes, 287 00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:03,920 Speaker 3: is well? Is everything okay with your husband? Yes? All 288 00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:08,240 Speaker 3: is well. Then he asked, is everything okay with your son? 289 00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:13,200 Speaker 3: She said it again, all is well? Well, Joel, I'm 290 00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:16,560 Speaker 3: not gonna lie if it's not well, I'm not gonna 291 00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:19,120 Speaker 3: say that it is well. But really, this is what 292 00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:22,199 Speaker 3: faith is all about. The Scripture says you have to 293 00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:25,520 Speaker 3: call things that are not as if they already were. 294 00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:30,120 Speaker 3: When the situation doesn't look good, you don't see how 295 00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:33,240 Speaker 3: you could accomplish a dream. Your child's off course. Every 296 00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:36,840 Speaker 3: voice says it's not gonna happen, it's too late. Just 297 00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:40,320 Speaker 3: accept it. But you dig your heels in and say, 298 00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:44,520 Speaker 3: like this woman, all is well. That's not just being positive. 299 00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:49,200 Speaker 3: You are prophesying your future. You are speaking faith into 300 00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:53,679 Speaker 3: your future. Don't use your words to describe your situation. 301 00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:57,720 Speaker 3: Use your words to change your situation. It's easy to 302 00:17:57,720 --> 00:18:00,960 Speaker 3: talk about the problem, hou it's not gonna work. Well. 303 00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:03,879 Speaker 3: I just believe in telling it like it is. My 304 00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:07,359 Speaker 3: back's been hurting for thirteen years. I'll never get better. 305 00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:10,760 Speaker 3: Had this addiction since high school. I'll never break it. 306 00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:15,080 Speaker 3: That's prophesying defeat. Why don't you do like this lady 307 00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:18,880 Speaker 3: in spite of the difficulties, you don't see any sign 308 00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:23,000 Speaker 3: of it changing. Dare to say all is well? You 309 00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:25,800 Speaker 3: lost a loved one. You should be depressed. No, all 310 00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:29,200 Speaker 3: is well. God's still on the throne. You didn't get 311 00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:32,720 Speaker 3: the promotion. Your friend says it's not right. You deserved it. 312 00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:35,800 Speaker 3: Don't join in. Yeah, I can't stand my boss. No, 313 00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:39,960 Speaker 3: all is well. Something better is coming. The medical report 314 00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:43,280 Speaker 3: wasn't good, Yes, but God is good. All is well. 315 00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:45,840 Speaker 3: You've been in a drought, hadn't had a good break 316 00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:48,639 Speaker 3: in a long time. Yes, but I'm not worried. I 317 00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:52,159 Speaker 3: know the abundance of rain is coming. All is well 318 00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:55,960 Speaker 3: in my life. This lady finally got to Elisha's house 319 00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:59,480 Speaker 3: and she told him that her son had died. Elisha 320 00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:02,560 Speaker 3: got on his horse, went to her home, prayed for 321 00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:04,840 Speaker 3: the little boy, and he came back to life. A 322 00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:08,120 Speaker 3: great miracle. But I don't believe this would have happened 323 00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:11,520 Speaker 3: if she would have sat around and self pity discouraged. 324 00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:16,439 Speaker 3: God is not fair. It happened because she believed all 325 00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:20,400 Speaker 3: is well before she saw any sign of it being well. 326 00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:24,439 Speaker 3: You may be in a situation right now. That is 327 00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:27,919 Speaker 3: not well. It is not well with your health, it 328 00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:30,560 Speaker 3: is not well in your finances, or maybe it's not 329 00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:33,720 Speaker 3: well in a relationship. You have a choice. You can 330 00:19:33,760 --> 00:19:37,920 Speaker 3: accept it, get discouraged, complain, or you can do like 331 00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:41,679 Speaker 3: this lady, in spite of what it looks like, in 332 00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:44,439 Speaker 3: spite of what your mind is telling you, in spite 333 00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:47,879 Speaker 3: of the negative reports, you can dare to say all 334 00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:51,320 Speaker 3: is well. This is what Paul and Silas did in 335 00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:54,600 Speaker 3: the scripture. They were in prison. They had just been 336 00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:58,679 Speaker 3: beaten with rods, hadn't done anything wrong. But at midnight 337 00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:02,400 Speaker 3: they were singing praise to God. They were saying, we're 338 00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:06,560 Speaker 3: not distraught, we're not upset. All is well. About that 339 00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:10,440 Speaker 3: time there was a great earthquake. The prison doors flung open, 340 00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:14,040 Speaker 3: chains fell off their feet. They walked out as free men. 341 00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:18,800 Speaker 3: Job went through a season of great trouble, lost his health, 342 00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:23,200 Speaker 3: his business, everything went wrong. But Job didn't get bitter. 343 00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:27,280 Speaker 3: He said, though he slay me, yet, will I trust him? 344 00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:31,840 Speaker 3: He was saying, if it goes my way or doesn't 345 00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:36,080 Speaker 3: go my way, all is well. Here's the key. If 346 00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:39,320 Speaker 3: you have to have everything happen your way in order 347 00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:42,880 Speaker 3: to be happy, you are setting yourself up for disappointment. 348 00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:46,760 Speaker 3: A mature attitude is all is well. If my prayers 349 00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:49,880 Speaker 3: get answered, and all is well. If they don't get answered, 350 00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:52,719 Speaker 3: all is well. If people are good to me, and 351 00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:55,720 Speaker 3: all is well if they're not good to me. You're 352 00:20:55,760 --> 00:21:00,639 Speaker 3: not moved by the circumstances. That takes away the enemy power. 353 00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:03,960 Speaker 3: When you don't have to have your way, he can't 354 00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:08,680 Speaker 3: control you, you're saying, God, my life is in your hands. 355 00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:12,719 Speaker 3: You know what's best for me. Daniel did this. He 356 00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:15,880 Speaker 3: was about to be thrown into a den of hungry lions. 357 00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:19,600 Speaker 3: His attitude was, if I get eaten by these lions, 358 00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:22,840 Speaker 3: I'll go to be with the Lord today, all is well. 359 00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:26,560 Speaker 3: If not, I'll stay here and finish my course. All 360 00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:29,760 Speaker 3: is well. The next morning the guards came to check 361 00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:32,520 Speaker 3: on him. I can imagine Daniel lying there in the 362 00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:36,639 Speaker 3: den of lions, asleep, at peace, at rest. He knew 363 00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:41,040 Speaker 3: the enemy doesn't determine our destiny. God determines our destiny. 364 00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:45,000 Speaker 3: And when you have this all is well attitude, you're 365 00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:48,520 Speaker 3: not moved by the weeds. You're not upset because of 366 00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:52,680 Speaker 3: a disappointment. You don't lose sleep because somebody did you wrong. 367 00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:55,960 Speaker 3: You don't live sour because your prayers didn't get answered 368 00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:58,840 Speaker 3: your way. You know God is still on the throne, 369 00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:01,399 Speaker 3: and he will get you to where you're supposed to be. 370 00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:04,440 Speaker 3: I read a story about a man by the name 371 00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:09,040 Speaker 3: of Horatio Spafford. He was a wealthy businessman that lived 372 00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:12,399 Speaker 3: back in the eighteen hundreds. One night, his wife and 373 00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:16,600 Speaker 3: four daughters were on a ship crossing the Atlantic. They 374 00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:20,200 Speaker 3: collided with another ship, and all four of his daughters 375 00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:23,439 Speaker 3: were killed. His wife sent him a telegram with the 376 00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:28,560 Speaker 3: terrible news. Few weeks later, mister Spafford was traveling across 377 00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:32,600 Speaker 3: the Atlantic to meet his wife. At one point, the 378 00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:35,720 Speaker 3: captain of the ship informed him they were at the 379 00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:40,000 Speaker 3: exact place where his four daughters had lost their lives. 380 00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:43,760 Speaker 3: He took out a pen and wrote these words, When 381 00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:49,320 Speaker 3: peace like a river attendeth my way, when sorrows like 382 00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:53,760 Speaker 3: sea billows row, whatever my lot, you have taught me 383 00:22:53,840 --> 00:22:57,760 Speaker 3: to say, it is well, It is well with my sow. 384 00:22:58,760 --> 00:23:01,439 Speaker 3: No matter what comes our way, we need to be 385 00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:04,920 Speaker 3: able to say with him, it is well with my soul. 386 00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:08,560 Speaker 3: Life may have thrown me a few curves, but it 387 00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:12,200 Speaker 3: is well with my soul. All my dreams haven't come 388 00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:16,240 Speaker 3: to pass yet, but it is well. Went through a divorce. 389 00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:20,200 Speaker 3: I'm not bitter. It is well. Lost a loved one, 390 00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:23,520 Speaker 3: don't understand it, but it is well with my soul. 391 00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:27,919 Speaker 3: Fifteen years ago Thursday, my father went to be with 392 00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:30,160 Speaker 3: the Lord and I received a call from my mother 393 00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:33,000 Speaker 3: that night, Joel, come over quick. Daddy's had a heart attack. 394 00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:36,520 Speaker 3: He died the next day. It seemed like everything was 395 00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:39,480 Speaker 3: out of control. We didn't know what was going to 396 00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:43,240 Speaker 3: happen to the church, would people keep coming, who would 397 00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:47,199 Speaker 3: the pastor be There were all these variables. In the 398 00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:50,800 Speaker 3: midst of that storm. The waves seem so big, the 399 00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:54,240 Speaker 3: winds were howling. We could have gotten discouraged, depressed. But 400 00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:57,960 Speaker 3: really we did what I'm asking you to do. We said, 401 00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:03,200 Speaker 3: by faith, all is well. Sometimes you have to announce it, 402 00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:06,199 Speaker 3: not only so you can hear it, not only so 403 00:24:06,359 --> 00:24:09,240 Speaker 3: God can hear it, but so the enemy can hear it. 404 00:24:09,880 --> 00:24:14,080 Speaker 3: He's expecting you to fall apart, get depressed, give up 405 00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:17,439 Speaker 3: on your dreams. But when you look that adversity in 406 00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:21,000 Speaker 3: the eye and you're not moved by it, you've still 407 00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:23,520 Speaker 3: got a report of victory. You've still got a smile 408 00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:26,320 Speaker 3: on your face. You're still being good to people. That 409 00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:29,960 Speaker 3: gives him a nervous breakdown. He hits you with his 410 00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:33,760 Speaker 3: best shot, but his best was not enough. He doesn't 411 00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:37,199 Speaker 3: have the final say. God has the final say, and 412 00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:41,200 Speaker 3: God has not brought you this far to leave you. 413 00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:45,480 Speaker 3: You've seen God's goodness, mercy, favor in the past. You're 414 00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:48,080 Speaker 3: going to see it again in the future. When it's 415 00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:51,960 Speaker 3: all said and done, you'll still be standing strong. Now, 416 00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:55,200 Speaker 3: you've got to do your part and speak victory into 417 00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:58,359 Speaker 3: your future. If you don't talk to yourself the right way, 418 00:24:59,119 --> 00:25:01,320 Speaker 3: negative thought, we'll try to talk you out of it. 419 00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:05,040 Speaker 3: The what ifs will bombard your mind. What if people 420 00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:07,800 Speaker 3: don't keep coming, Joel, What if you don't meet the 421 00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:09,840 Speaker 3: right person, What if you don't have the funds, What 422 00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:13,000 Speaker 3: if your health doesn't improve? No, declare it by faith. 423 00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:16,040 Speaker 3: All is well God. I may not see away, but 424 00:25:16,119 --> 00:25:18,520 Speaker 3: I know you have a way. This may be a 425 00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:20,960 Speaker 3: surprise to me, but it's not a surprise to you. 426 00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:25,040 Speaker 3: Week after week, month after month, I kept meditating on 427 00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:28,919 Speaker 3: that simple phrase, all is well. Today. We don't have 428 00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:31,280 Speaker 3: to say it by faith. We can say it as 429 00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:35,399 Speaker 3: a fact. Lakewood is well. The Church is strong, greatest 430 00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:37,320 Speaker 3: days are still out in front of us. The future 431 00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:42,360 Speaker 3: is right. How you respond in the difficult times will 432 00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:46,400 Speaker 3: determine whether or not you reach the fullness of your destiny. 433 00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:49,280 Speaker 3: If we would have gotten depressed, discouraged in self pity, 434 00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:52,640 Speaker 3: we would not be here today. Friends. There will be 435 00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:56,320 Speaker 3: obstacles on the way to your promised land. We all 436 00:25:56,400 --> 00:26:00,639 Speaker 3: have weeds sown into our fields. Things that don't makes sense. 437 00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:06,280 Speaker 3: We don't like it, loss, unfair situations, disappointments. But don't complain, 438 00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:09,720 Speaker 3: don't get bitter. Do like Daniel, Do like Joe, Do 439 00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:12,639 Speaker 3: like the young couple and the house dare to say 440 00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:16,520 Speaker 3: all is well. That shows God that you're trusting him. 441 00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:20,080 Speaker 3: That's what allows him to give you beauty for ashes, 442 00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:23,200 Speaker 3: to turn what was meant for your harm and turn 443 00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:27,000 Speaker 3: it into your advantage. Maybe you're in a situation now 444 00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:30,640 Speaker 3: that you could be discouraged, upset. You don't see how 445 00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:34,280 Speaker 3: it could ever work out in your favor. But Isaiah 446 00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:38,560 Speaker 3: three says say to the righteous, it shall be well 447 00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:42,480 Speaker 3: with you. You are the righteous. God says say this to you, 448 00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:46,439 Speaker 3: it shall be well. Not hope, so not maybe not 449 00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:49,800 Speaker 3: if you get lucky. No, God promises it shall be 450 00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:53,040 Speaker 3: well with you. Maybe you lost a loved one. You 451 00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:55,280 Speaker 3: don't see how you can go on. That is not 452 00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:58,560 Speaker 3: the end, that is a new beginning. It shall be 453 00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:02,879 Speaker 3: well with you. The job situation didn't work out, you 454 00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:05,840 Speaker 3: lost a client. You God let go, don't worry. God 455 00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:09,600 Speaker 3: has something better. It shall be well with you. You're 456 00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:12,600 Speaker 3: struggling in your finances. You don't know how you're going 457 00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:15,720 Speaker 3: to make it. God's got it all figured out. He's 458 00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:19,320 Speaker 3: called the Lord, our provider. He closed the lilies of 459 00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:22,399 Speaker 3: the field, he feeds the birds of the air. It 460 00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:26,240 Speaker 3: shall be well with you. I'm asking you all through 461 00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:28,800 Speaker 3: the day to let this phrase play in your mind. 462 00:27:29,359 --> 00:27:32,840 Speaker 3: When you're tempted to get upset, to be worried, offended, 463 00:27:33,119 --> 00:27:37,600 Speaker 3: just smile, no thanks. I know all is well friends. 464 00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:42,040 Speaker 3: God has promised that all things, not some, all things 465 00:27:42,200 --> 00:27:45,320 Speaker 3: are going to work out for your good. That means 466 00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:49,000 Speaker 3: even the weeds are going to work to your advantage. 467 00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:51,480 Speaker 3: You may have some weeds in your life right now. 468 00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:54,760 Speaker 3: You remember that's a sign that you are close to 469 00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:59,480 Speaker 3: your harvest. You're about to see a breakthrough, healing, restoration, promotion. 470 00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:02,919 Speaker 3: You may have to say it by faith today but 471 00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:06,280 Speaker 3: one day, like the lady and Elisha, you will say 472 00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:09,520 Speaker 3: it as a fact. All is well in my health, 473 00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:13,040 Speaker 3: got a good medical report, all is well in my career. 474 00:28:13,359 --> 00:28:16,480 Speaker 3: Dreams are coming to past. All is well with my children. 475 00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:20,639 Speaker 3: They're fulfilling their destinies. You will see the faithfulness of God. 476 00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:25,239 Speaker 3: Promises will be fulfilled. Negative situations will turn around. I 477 00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:29,280 Speaker 3: believe and declare you're coming into your harvest the fullness 478 00:28:29,280 --> 00:28:32,919 Speaker 3: of your destiny. It shall be well with you in 479 00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:35,679 Speaker 3: Jesus's name, if you receive it. Can you say him 480 00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:40,600 Speaker 3: in today? We never like to close our broadcast without 481 00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:43,520 Speaker 3: giving you an opportunity to make Jesus the lord of 482 00:28:43,560 --> 00:28:47,560 Speaker 3: your life. Would you pray with me? Just say Lord, Jesus, 483 00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:53,760 Speaker 3: I repent of my sins, Come into my heart, wash 484 00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:59,040 Speaker 3: me clean. I make you my Lord and savior. Friends, 485 00:28:59,040 --> 00:29:01,280 Speaker 3: if you prayed that simple prayer, we believe you got 486 00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:04,720 Speaker 3: born again.
