Speaker 3: Right here at Lakewood, but we'd love to have you

46
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 3: come out. Thanks for tuning in today. I like to

47
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:15,920
Speaker 3: start with something funny, and I heard about this lady.

48
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:20,480
Speaker 3: She was so stressed out, so overworked. She needed a break,

49
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:23,600
Speaker 3: but she knew her boss wouldn't let her off unless

50
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:27,080
Speaker 3: she acted crazy. So she stood on top of her

51
00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 3: desk put both hands over her head like a circle.

52
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:34,400
Speaker 3: The boss came in, said what are you doing. She said,

53
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 3: I'm a light bulb. I'm putting off light. He said,

54
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:40,720
Speaker 3: you need to go home. You're not thinking clearly, get

55
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:44,880
Speaker 3: some rest. She walked out. Her coworker started to follow her.

56
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:47,440
Speaker 3: The boss said, where are you going. She said, I'm

57
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:51,919
Speaker 3: going home too. I can't work in the dark. Say

58
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 3: it like you mean it. This is my Bible. I

59
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:57,360
Speaker 3: am what it says I am. I have what it

60
00:02:57,400 --> 00:02:59,760
Speaker 3: says I have. I can do what it says I

61
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:02,959
Speaker 3: can do. Today I will be taught the word of God.

62
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:07,679
Speaker 3: I'll boldly confess. My mind is alert, my heart is receptive.

63
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 3: I will never be the same. In Jesus' name, God

64
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:15,359
Speaker 3: bless you. I want to talk to you today about

65
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:20,080
Speaker 3: faithful in the routine. There are times in life we

66
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:23,320
Speaker 3: feel like we're going in circles. We're doing the right

67
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:27,880
Speaker 3: thing but not making much progress. We don't see anything changing,

68
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:31,600
Speaker 3: and it's easy to lose our passion and get discouraged.

69
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:35,200
Speaker 3: But one test we all have to pass is being

70
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:39,600
Speaker 3: faithful when nothing new is happening. We're just going to work,

71
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:44,320
Speaker 3: raising children, coming home, doing the same thing again. It's

72
00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:47,240
Speaker 3: easy to be our best when we're getting good breaks,

73
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 3: things are falling into place. That doesn't take much faith.

74
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:55,080
Speaker 3: But what about when you're working hard but not getting

75
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 3: the credit. You're being your best, but your marriage isn't improving.

76
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:03,560
Speaker 3: Your honor God but not see an increase. Will you

77
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:06,920
Speaker 3: trust him when it feels like you're going in circles?

78
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 3: Will you stay passionate when you're doing the same thing

79
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:15,440
Speaker 3: again and again. When you're faithful in the routine, something

80
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:20,279
Speaker 3: is happening that you can't see. Your character is being developed,

81
00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:25,520
Speaker 3: your spiritual muscles are getting stronger. You're being prepared for

82
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:29,200
Speaker 3: where God has taking you. And the routineness of life

83
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:34,320
Speaker 3: is not exciting, but it is necessary. You won't become

84
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:38,120
Speaker 3: all you were created to be without being your best

85
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:43,160
Speaker 3: when it's mundane being excellent, having a good attitude. When

86
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:48,320
Speaker 3: it's just another ordinary day, nothing exciting is happening. You're

87
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:52,400
Speaker 3: just singing in the choir. Another Sunday going to work

88
00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:55,760
Speaker 3: with a smile. Another week doing the right thing with

89
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:59,640
Speaker 3: a good attitude. Another month. You could see it as boring.

90
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:03,920
Speaker 3: When is this going to change? But you understand this principle.

91
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:08,240
Speaker 3: You're being prepared and when God can trust you to

92
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:12,239
Speaker 3: be faithful in the ordinary, then he'll take you into

93
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:16,800
Speaker 3: the extraordinary. When you're faithful in average days, then you

94
00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:21,919
Speaker 3: will see exceptional days. But sometimes we're frustrated because we

95
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:24,680
Speaker 3: know we have more in us, but we're not seeing

96
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:28,760
Speaker 3: it happen. We don't understand why we're not making progress.

97
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:33,080
Speaker 3: But God will always put bigger things in your spirit

98
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:36,919
Speaker 3: before they come to pass. You may be dealing with

99
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:41,040
Speaker 3: something mediocre, but God is preparing you for something great.

100
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:45,480
Speaker 3: David was anointed to be the king as a young man.

101
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:49,560
Speaker 3: Then God sent him back to the shepherd's fields. He

102
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:53,560
Speaker 3: had a king's anointing, yet he was taking care of sheep.

103
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 3: Your anointing will supersede where you are right now. God

104
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:03,080
Speaker 3: called Day to rule a nation, but he was doing

105
00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:07,160
Speaker 3: a menial task day in and day out. Nothing exciting,

106
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:12,440
Speaker 3: boring routine. He could have gotten discouraged. God, why isn't

107
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:15,440
Speaker 3: it happening? You said, I would be the key. If

108
00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:18,680
Speaker 3: he had not passed this test of being faithful in

109
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:22,160
Speaker 3: the routine, he would have never taken the throne. And

110
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:25,840
Speaker 3: like David, you may know you have more in you.

111
00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 3: You can feel those seeds of greatness. But you're doing

112
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:34,279
Speaker 3: something menial, something beneath your training. You're being overlooked at work.

113
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:38,320
Speaker 3: Nobody takes your advice at home, nobody says thank you,

114
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:43,560
Speaker 3: just another ordinary day. I'm asking you to be faithful

115
00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:47,720
Speaker 3: where God has you. Now, be faithful in the routine.

116
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:52,080
Speaker 3: This is where David excelled out in the shepherd's fields.

117
00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:55,920
Speaker 3: He didn't slack off, he didn't show up late. He

118
00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:59,120
Speaker 3: didn't have a sour attitude, thinking when I get to

119
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:02,440
Speaker 3: where I'm going, then I'll give it my all. When

120
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:05,000
Speaker 3: I take the throne, then I'll show people what I

121
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:08,280
Speaker 3: made of. No, he showed what he was made of

122
00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:13,679
Speaker 3: when nobody was watching. He understood he wasn't working under people,

123
00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:18,040
Speaker 3: he was working under God. He was excellent where God

124
00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:21,960
Speaker 3: had him, even though he didn't like it. That's what

125
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:26,200
Speaker 3: led to the throne all those ordinary days of being

126
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:30,360
Speaker 3: His best? Are you being excellent where God has you?

127
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:30,760
Speaker 1: Now?

128
00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:33,360
Speaker 3: Well, Joel, this is not where I want to be.

129
00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:36,120
Speaker 3: I don't want to work for this supervisor I know

130
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:39,080
Speaker 3: more than him. I don't want to live in this apartment.

131
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:41,400
Speaker 3: I want my own house. I don't want to sing

132
00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:43,600
Speaker 3: in the choir. I want to be on the stage

133
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:47,520
Speaker 3: with you. Now here's the key. Go get your own stage.

134
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:51,600
Speaker 3: First off, here's the key. You'll never make it to

135
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:55,440
Speaker 3: the stage if you're not faithful where you are you

136
00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:58,960
Speaker 3: want see promotion if you're not being your best where

137
00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:03,840
Speaker 3: God has your right now? Thirteen years later, after being

138
00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:07,280
Speaker 3: faithful in the shepherd's fields, going through all kinds of

139
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:13,120
Speaker 3: unfair situations, David suddenly took the throne. Passing the test

140
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:18,440
Speaker 3: in ordinary days is what leads to exceptional days. That's

141
00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:22,200
Speaker 3: when you'll see moments of favor where God thrust you

142
00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:25,600
Speaker 3: years ahead. And it's not the big things that hold

143
00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:29,680
Speaker 3: most people back. It's the small things. Being faithful day

144
00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:33,160
Speaker 3: in and day out, going to work with the good attitude,

145
00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:37,120
Speaker 3: sitting in traffic, not complaining, showing up to church week

146
00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:41,760
Speaker 3: after week, faithful in the routine is what prepares you

147
00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:45,880
Speaker 3: for promotion. You may feel like you're going in circles,

148
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:49,760
Speaker 3: you're not making much progress, But the right attitude is

149
00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:53,600
Speaker 3: I may not like where I am, but God, since

150
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:56,240
Speaker 3: you have me here, I know this is where I'm

151
00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:58,640
Speaker 3: supposed to be. So I'm going to keep being my

152
00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:03,640
Speaker 3: best givings, serving, helping others write where I am. We

153
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:07,080
Speaker 3: read about the heroes of faith in the Scripture. Their

154
00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:10,559
Speaker 3: lives seem like they were so exciting, but the truth

155
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:15,640
Speaker 3: is most of their life was routine. Yes, Moses parted

156
00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:19,040
Speaker 3: the Red Sea, he told Pharaoh let the Israelites go.

157
00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:22,200
Speaker 3: Those were great miracles, but it was just a few

158
00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:26,160
Speaker 3: days of his life. There will be more ordinary days

159
00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:30,240
Speaker 3: than there are exciting days. If you live from big

160
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:34,360
Speaker 3: event to big event, waiting for something exciting to keep

161
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:39,959
Speaker 3: you encouraged, you'll be disappointed. Learn to enjoy where God

162
00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:43,679
Speaker 3: has you right now, This is the day the Lord

163
00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:47,600
Speaker 3: has made. It may be routine, it may feel like

164
00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:51,280
Speaker 3: you're no closer to your dreams than you were years ago.

165
00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:55,319
Speaker 3: But when you do the ordinary with a good attitude,

166
00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:58,880
Speaker 3: that's getting you prepared for the new things God has

167
00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:03,280
Speaker 3: in store. And sometimes the reason God is not changing

168
00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:08,200
Speaker 3: the circumstances is He's using the circumstances to change us,

169
00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:13,079
Speaker 3: if we'll start passing these tests, being patient when it's

170
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:16,360
Speaker 3: taken longer than we like, staying in faith when we're

171
00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:20,000
Speaker 3: not getting our way, having a smile even when we're uncomfortable.

172
00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:25,599
Speaker 3: We're growing, we're developing. We're showing God that we trust him.

173
00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:29,880
Speaker 3: Like with David. That's when you'll not just be anointed

174
00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:33,800
Speaker 3: for the throne, you'll take your throne. The scripture talks

175
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:37,640
Speaker 3: about how God is the potter and we are the clay.

176
00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:40,240
Speaker 3: The potter takes a lump of clay and puts it

177
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:44,200
Speaker 3: on the wheel. It spins it around again and again.

178
00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:48,199
Speaker 3: The clay could say, I don't like going in circles.

179
00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:52,320
Speaker 3: I don't like this spinning. It's boring. I want to

180
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:56,000
Speaker 3: do something exciting. Let me off this wheel so I

181
00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:59,959
Speaker 3: can make progress. What the clay doesn't realize it is

182
00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:05,320
Speaker 3: making progress. While it's going in circles. The potter is

183
00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:09,680
Speaker 3: forming it, shaping it. It seems routine to the clay.

184
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:14,080
Speaker 3: It seems like it's stuck. But while it's spinning, the

185
00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:17,360
Speaker 3: clay is coming up higher. It can't tell it at

186
00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:20,320
Speaker 3: the time, but it's rising up from a lump of

187
00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:24,240
Speaker 3: clay into a beautiful vase. If you were to ask

188
00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:27,840
Speaker 3: the clay after it was formed, after it had gone

189
00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:31,440
Speaker 3: through the process, it would tell you the spinning was

190
00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:34,600
Speaker 3: for my good. I didn't like it at the time.

191
00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:38,920
Speaker 3: I couldn't see anything happening. But without this spinning, I

192
00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:42,360
Speaker 3: wouldn't be who I am. You may feel like you're

193
00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:46,040
Speaker 3: spinning today. You're doing the same thing over and over,

194
00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:50,480
Speaker 3: not making much progress. But like that clay, when it

195
00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:54,600
Speaker 3: feels like you're going in circles, something is happening that

196
00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:58,880
Speaker 3: you can't see. You're coming up higher. God is making

197
00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:03,800
Speaker 3: you mold than you. It may seem ordinary routine, but

198
00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:07,240
Speaker 3: when you're faithful where you are, you keep doing the

199
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:10,920
Speaker 3: right thing. Even though you're not making progress. You have

200
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:14,160
Speaker 3: a song of praise when you could be complaining. You

201
00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:17,720
Speaker 3: are rising higher. You may not see it, but the

202
00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:22,040
Speaker 3: spinning is working for you. When Joshua was leading the

203
00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:25,840
Speaker 3: Israelites toward the Promised Land, they came to the city

204
00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:30,400
Speaker 3: of Jericho. It was surrounded by a huge wall fifteen

205
00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:34,280
Speaker 3: feet wide thirty five feet thick. There was no way

206
00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:37,400
Speaker 3: in the natural for the Israelites to get past that

207
00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:41,400
Speaker 3: wall and make it to the promised Land. Joshua prayed

208
00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:44,880
Speaker 3: and asked God what they should do, and God told

209
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:49,800
Speaker 3: him to have the Israelites march around the city of Jericho.

210
00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:53,360
Speaker 3: I'm sure Joshua thought, God, we need to get in

211
00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:56,360
Speaker 3: the city, and you're telling us to walk around it.

212
00:12:56,880 --> 00:12:59,880
Speaker 3: You want us to go in circles. They marched. The

213
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:04,680
Speaker 3: first day, nothing happened, second day, nothing happened, third day nothing.

214
00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:08,280
Speaker 3: The whole time the people thought, this is a waste

215
00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:13,160
Speaker 3: of time, this doesn't make sense. Six days they walked

216
00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:19,320
Speaker 3: in circles, ordinary routine, didn't see anything changing. On the

217
00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:22,800
Speaker 3: seventh day, God told them to march around seven times.

218
00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:25,640
Speaker 3: The last time they were to let out a great

219
00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:30,040
Speaker 3: shout and blow their trumpets. When they did, those huge

220
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:34,559
Speaker 3: walls came tumbling down. A great miracle. But even though

221
00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:38,600
Speaker 3: the walls fell, the Israelites should have had trouble getting

222
00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:42,440
Speaker 3: past all the rubble the debris. The walls were so big.

223
00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:46,640
Speaker 3: But researchers have found the walls fell in such a

224
00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:50,320
Speaker 3: way that it created a perfect ramp. Some fell on

225
00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:54,439
Speaker 3: the inside, some on the outside, just like an overpass.

226
00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:57,600
Speaker 3: The Israelites were able to go in and take the land.

227
00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:02,280
Speaker 3: When you're faithful in the routine, God will make things

228
00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:06,160
Speaker 3: happen that you couldn't make happen. You may have been

229
00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:09,439
Speaker 3: doing the right thing for a long time. You feel

230
00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:13,760
Speaker 3: like you're being left out, you're being falling behind. But

231
00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:18,240
Speaker 3: God is closely watching you. He sees you walking around

232
00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:22,000
Speaker 3: the walls. He sees you doing the right thing, even

233
00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:26,360
Speaker 3: though nothing is changing. Your time is coming. It's going

234
00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:31,480
Speaker 3: to happen suddenly, unexpectedly. What looked like an ordinary day

235
00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:34,440
Speaker 3: is going to turn out to be an exceptional day.

236
00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:39,080
Speaker 3: You thought you'd have to march around another month, another year.

237
00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:43,240
Speaker 3: Suddenly those walls are going to come down. God has

238
00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:49,040
Speaker 3: explosive blessings. No wall is too big, no obstacle too high,

239
00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:53,400
Speaker 3: no enemy too powerful. One touch of God's favor can

240
00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:57,560
Speaker 3: catapult you years ahead. The psalmist said, you can run

241
00:14:57,600 --> 00:15:00,800
Speaker 3: through a troop and leap over a wall. God will

242
00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:04,000
Speaker 3: get you to where you're supposed to be. But why

243
00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:08,360
Speaker 3: did God have them march around in circles seven days

244
00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:11,320
Speaker 3: do the same thing over and over. Seemed like a

245
00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:15,200
Speaker 3: waste of time. Didn't make sense. He's God, He could

246
00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:18,160
Speaker 3: have brought the walls down the first time Joshua ask

247
00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:23,640
Speaker 3: But marching around that city was a test God wanted

248
00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:27,760
Speaker 3: to see. Would they be faithful in the routine. Would

249
00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:31,560
Speaker 3: they trust him when they were going in circles? Would

250
00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:35,440
Speaker 3: they do the right thing when it seemed ordinary. You're

251
00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:40,000
Speaker 3: not always going to understand why something isn't changing, why

252
00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:43,560
Speaker 3: you're not making progress, why those people won't treat you right.

253
00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:47,160
Speaker 3: Don't get caught up in the wise. It is simply

254
00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:51,360
Speaker 3: a test. Keep being faithful where you are, and those

255
00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:55,640
Speaker 3: walls will come down. When they were marching around the city,

256
00:15:56,160 --> 00:15:59,400
Speaker 3: God told them to not say a word. They couldn't

257
00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:02,400
Speaker 3: whisper to each other other, they couldn't discuss the situation.

258
00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:06,600
Speaker 3: God knew if he didn't keep them quiet, they would

259
00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:09,720
Speaker 3: have talked themselves out of it. Why are we walking around?

260
00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:13,920
Speaker 3: Joshua has lost his mind. I'm tired, I'm hot, I'm thirsty.

261
00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:17,360
Speaker 3: If they would have gone around the walls with a

262
00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:21,000
Speaker 3: negative report, even though they were doing the right thing,

263
00:16:21,760 --> 00:16:24,800
Speaker 3: it would not have happened. When you feel like you're

264
00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:29,160
Speaker 3: going in circles, you're not making much progress, don't start

265
00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:32,400
Speaker 3: talking about how it's never going to happen, how you'll

266
00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:35,760
Speaker 3: never get well, your business will never take off. Do

267
00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:39,040
Speaker 3: yourself a favor and zip it up. You can do

268
00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:43,200
Speaker 3: the right thing with the wrong attitude and miss the blessing.

269
00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:46,760
Speaker 3: But every day you go around the walls with a

270
00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:50,320
Speaker 3: good report. Father, thank you, you're restoring health backing to me.

271
00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:53,200
Speaker 3: Thank you that I'll lend and not borrow. Thank you

272
00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:56,040
Speaker 3: that this is my year of Yes, that's passing the

273
00:16:56,120 --> 00:17:00,800
Speaker 3: test life with the Israelites. That obstacle that should have

274
00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:04,919
Speaker 3: stopped you will not only suddenly come down, but it

275
00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:07,560
Speaker 3: will become a ramp where you can move right past it.

276
00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:12,359
Speaker 3: The scripture says God will make your enemies your footstools.

277
00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:16,119
Speaker 3: That means, instead of being a stumbling block to stop you,

278
00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:19,520
Speaker 3: they will become a stepping stone so you can rise

279
00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:23,720
Speaker 3: to the next level. But on the surface, it looked

280
00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:27,119
Speaker 3: like the shout is what brought the walls down. But

281
00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:31,600
Speaker 3: the truth is the shout without the obedience of marching

282
00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:35,800
Speaker 3: around the walls, wouldn't have had the same effect. Sometimes

283
00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:39,879
Speaker 3: we're wondering why the walls aren't fallen. We shouted, we prayed,

284
00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:43,000
Speaker 3: we believe. But the shout only works if you do

285
00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:47,359
Speaker 3: the first part. If you're faithful in the routine. A

286
00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:50,480
Speaker 3: friend of mine came to America from India when he

287
00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:54,119
Speaker 3: was twenty years old to attend Bible College. He was

288
00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:58,200
Speaker 3: very poor, but a couple from California paid his way

289
00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:02,480
Speaker 3: over and his tuition, and things were going great. He

290
00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:05,119
Speaker 3: couldn't believe he was in America. This was a dream

291
00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:09,080
Speaker 3: come true. Everything was fine until the men that was

292
00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:13,360
Speaker 3: supporting him lost his job. Now this young man had

293
00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:17,119
Speaker 3: no income, no way to stay in school, no money

294
00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:20,760
Speaker 3: to get back home. He started going through the neighborhoods

295
00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:24,200
Speaker 3: asking people if he could mow their lawns, but nobody

296
00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:27,959
Speaker 3: would hire him. He walked to the local grocery store

297
00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:31,439
Speaker 3: and found that every night they would put out food

298
00:18:31,640 --> 00:18:35,320
Speaker 3: in the dumpster. That's how he survived for a whole year.

299
00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:39,040
Speaker 3: A job came available as a janitor at the school,

300
00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:42,600
Speaker 3: but he told how he was at such a disadvantage

301
00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:45,359
Speaker 3: he didn't see how he could ever rise any higher.

302
00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:48,920
Speaker 3: He thought that was his lot in life. But year

303
00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:53,120
Speaker 3: after year he kept being faithful, doing the right thing

304
00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:56,760
Speaker 3: when he wasn't getting any good breaks. He met a

305
00:18:56,800 --> 00:19:00,800
Speaker 3: young lady in school. They fell in love. The problem

306
00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:04,320
Speaker 3: is at this Bible school, they didn't approve of an

307
00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:08,480
Speaker 3: Indian dating someone from America. This was many years ago,

308
00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:11,040
Speaker 3: back in the seventies, and of course it's changed now,

309
00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:14,960
Speaker 3: but he was forced to lead the school. Two years

310
00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:18,800
Speaker 3: later he married the young woman. They became youth pastors

311
00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:22,879
Speaker 3: in another state. Ten years after that, the president of

312
00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:27,000
Speaker 3: that college resigned. The board called and asked if he

313
00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:30,720
Speaker 3: would become the next president. He went from having to

314
00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:34,720
Speaker 3: get food out of dumpsters, to clean in restrooms, to

315
00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:37,840
Speaker 3: be enforced to leave the school, to being in charge

316
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:41,800
Speaker 3: of the whole college. Prince God is a god of justice.

317
00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:45,840
Speaker 3: He'll make your wrongs right. But at the time, it

318
00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:49,119
Speaker 3: seemed like he was going in circles, seemed like nothing

319
00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:54,159
Speaker 3: was happening. But God had a plan. The spinning wasn't comfortable,

320
00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:57,919
Speaker 3: it wasn't always fair, but it was for his good.

321
00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:01,720
Speaker 3: God was getting him prepared to go places that he

322
00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:05,520
Speaker 3: never dreamed. But it was all based on him being

323
00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:09,560
Speaker 3: faithful in the routine, doing the right thing when he

324
00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:13,080
Speaker 3: wasn't being treated right. You may have gone through some

325
00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:17,200
Speaker 3: disappointments as well, maybe situations that you feel like put

326
00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:20,840
Speaker 3: you at a disadvantage. But no person can keep you

327
00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:25,160
Speaker 3: from your destiny. No bad break can stop what God

328
00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:28,879
Speaker 3: has ordained for you. Don't get discouraged, don't try to

329
00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:34,000
Speaker 3: pay people back. The disappointments, the bad breaks, the betrayals,

330
00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:38,479
Speaker 3: they are all a part of God's plan. God uses

331
00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:42,520
Speaker 3: things we don't like, things we don't understand, to push

332
00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:46,920
Speaker 3: us into our purpose. And sometimes it feels like things

333
00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:50,600
Speaker 3: are spinning out of control. The truth is they are

334
00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:55,680
Speaker 3: spinning in control. God is directing your steps. He's closing doors,

335
00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:59,480
Speaker 3: he's moving the wrong people out. He controls the universe.

336
00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:04,439
Speaker 3: He won't allow the spinning unless ultimately it's going to

337
00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:08,280
Speaker 3: work to your advantage. Now, the challenge is to trust

338
00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:12,920
Speaker 3: Him while you're spinning. Trust him when you don't understand it.

339
00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:16,919
Speaker 3: When Moses was born, the pharaoh had put out a

340
00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:20,320
Speaker 3: decree that all the male babies were to be killed

341
00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:25,280
Speaker 3: for three months, Moses' mother hid him. She didn't take

342
00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:29,320
Speaker 3: him outside, they didn't go for a walk. Nobody knew

343
00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:34,000
Speaker 3: he was here. He wasn't celebrated, he wasn't noticed. They

344
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:36,959
Speaker 3: didn't have a birthday party for him. He was hidden

345
00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:42,479
Speaker 3: like Moses. Sometimes God will hide you. You will go

346
00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:45,840
Speaker 3: through a season where you're not being noticed, you're not

347
00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:50,359
Speaker 3: being celebrated. You have all these gifts, so much to offer,

348
00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:56,160
Speaker 3: but you're being overlooked, ignored. These times when God hides us,

349
00:21:56,760 --> 00:22:00,879
Speaker 3: these are times of testing, times of proof. Are you

350
00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:04,880
Speaker 3: going to keep being your best even though you're being overlooked?

351
00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:10,159
Speaker 3: My father and mother started Lakewood with ninety people in

352
00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:15,280
Speaker 3: nineteen fifty nine. My dad had been overseas holding meetings

353
00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:18,879
Speaker 3: with tens of thousands of people, but he knew he

354
00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:22,399
Speaker 3: was supposed to come back and pastor Lakewood. But for

355
00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:26,320
Speaker 3: thirteen years it was like my father was hidden. The

356
00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:29,840
Speaker 3: church didn't grow. And my father was a great minister,

357
00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:34,080
Speaker 3: he was dynamic, he was anointed, But all these gifts,

358
00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:39,760
Speaker 3: all this ability, was going unnoticed. He wasn't being celebrated

359
00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:43,639
Speaker 3: like he'd been overseas. He wasn't seeing growth and increase.

360
00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:48,240
Speaker 3: But those thirteen years my father was hidden. He preached

361
00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:51,680
Speaker 3: to the ninety people like he was preaching to ninety thousand.

362
00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:55,320
Speaker 3: He gave it his all. He was there three services

363
00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:58,840
Speaker 3: a week, never took time off. He lived to pour

364
00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:03,000
Speaker 3: into those ninety people. He could have gotten discouraged God,

365
00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:06,639
Speaker 3: why am I not seeing any growth? Instead, he was

366
00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:11,320
Speaker 3: faithful in the routine, faithful when he wasn't being celebrated

367
00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:15,359
Speaker 3: faithful when he wasn't making much progress, he was spinning.

368
00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:18,879
Speaker 3: What he couldn't see is he was coming up higher.

369
00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:22,919
Speaker 3: His character was being developed. He was showing God what

370
00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:27,040
Speaker 3: he was made of. If you're not faithful when you're hidden,

371
00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:30,840
Speaker 3: how can God trust you to be faithful when you're

372
00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:35,280
Speaker 3: out in the open. The scripture says, when Moses could

373
00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:38,560
Speaker 3: be hidden no longer, his mother put him in a

374
00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:42,720
Speaker 3: basket and sent him floating down the Nile River. Out

375
00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:45,760
Speaker 3: of all the people that could have found him, it

376
00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:49,399
Speaker 3: just so happened. Fah's daughter was at the river bank

377
00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:53,160
Speaker 3: taking a bath. She heard the cries coming from the basket.

378
00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:57,720
Speaker 3: She took Moses in and raised him in the palace

379
00:23:58,080 --> 00:24:03,000
Speaker 3: as her own son. Moses went from being hidden to

380
00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:07,000
Speaker 3: being noticed by one of the most influential families of

381
00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:11,200
Speaker 3: that day. When you pass the test of being faithful

382
00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:14,720
Speaker 3: in the routine, there will come a time where God

383
00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:18,400
Speaker 3: will say you can be hidden no longer. He will

384
00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:21,679
Speaker 3: cause the right people to see you, the right people

385
00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:25,119
Speaker 3: to celebrate you. You'll not only be noticed, but you

386
00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:29,479
Speaker 3: will be celebrated. Those thirteen years my father was hidden,

387
00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:33,200
Speaker 3: but in nineteen seventy two, it was like God brought

388
00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:36,240
Speaker 3: him out into the open. The church begin to grow

389
00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:40,000
Speaker 3: from a couple hundred to thousands and thousands. You may

390
00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:45,639
Speaker 3: feel like you've been hidden, overlooked, ignored, Stay encouraged. God

391
00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:48,880
Speaker 3: is about to bring you out. His face is going

392
00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:51,520
Speaker 3: to shine down on you in a new way. You're

393
00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:54,800
Speaker 3: not going to have to make it happen like Pharaoh's daughter.

394
00:24:55,119 --> 00:24:58,320
Speaker 3: The right people are going to find you. Doors are

395
00:24:58,359 --> 00:25:01,480
Speaker 3: going to open that you couldn't open. Promotion is going

396
00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:05,560
Speaker 3: to track you down. John chapter two, Jesus was at

397
00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:09,399
Speaker 3: a wedding in Galilee. His mother came to him and

398
00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:12,840
Speaker 3: said they had run out of wine. Jesus told the

399
00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:17,400
Speaker 3: workers to fill up the stone pots with water. There

400
00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:21,280
Speaker 3: were six of them. They held thirty gallons each. That

401
00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:24,479
Speaker 3: was one hundred and eighty gallons of water that they needed.

402
00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:28,600
Speaker 3: If the workers took a three gallon bucket down to

403
00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:32,119
Speaker 3: the well, that would take sixty trips to get that

404
00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:36,399
Speaker 3: much water. I could imagine the workers thinking, what are

405
00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:39,439
Speaker 3: we doing this for? We need wine, Why are we

406
00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:44,280
Speaker 3: pumping water? They could have talked themselves out of it. Instead,

407
00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:48,520
Speaker 3: they kept doing the ordinary, pumping the water, filling the

408
00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:54,119
Speaker 3: pots again and again, trip after trip, faithful in the routine.

409
00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:57,240
Speaker 3: It was water when they pumped it out, and water

410
00:25:57,359 --> 00:26:00,880
Speaker 3: when they poured it into the pots. Have been easy

411
00:26:01,119 --> 00:26:03,760
Speaker 3: to stay in faith. If when they drew it out

412
00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:07,040
Speaker 3: of the well it suddenly turned into water, or if

413
00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:09,240
Speaker 3: when they poured it into the pots they saw the

414
00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:12,679
Speaker 3: miracle right, then they would have been excited. But nothing

415
00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:17,400
Speaker 3: was changing. It was routine, ordinary, looked like they were

416
00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:21,480
Speaker 3: going in circles. But when God can trust you to

417
00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:26,480
Speaker 3: be faithful getting water, faithful when nothing is happening, faithful

418
00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:29,920
Speaker 3: when it seems ordinary, then He will take you into

419
00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:34,560
Speaker 3: the extraordinary. You may be believing for wine, but all

420
00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:39,760
Speaker 3: you're seeing is water. Be faithful in your water days. Well, Joel,

421
00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:42,280
Speaker 3: I'm just doing the ordinary. I'm just going to work,

422
00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:46,360
Speaker 3: being my best, raising my children, honoring God. But I'm

423
00:26:46,359 --> 00:26:50,320
Speaker 3: not making any progress. Don't be discouraged by what you

424
00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:54,160
Speaker 3: don't see. You're in your water days. The good news

425
00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:58,160
Speaker 3: is wine is coming. It's going to happen suddenly. It's

426
00:26:58,160 --> 00:27:02,800
Speaker 3: going to be unexpected. After these workers filled up the pots,

427
00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:07,160
Speaker 3: after they were faithful in their water days, Jesus told

428
00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:10,000
Speaker 3: them to draw some out and take it to the

429
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:13,200
Speaker 3: host of the party. When they did it not only

430
00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:17,040
Speaker 3: turned into wine, but when the host tasted it, he said,

431
00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:21,359
Speaker 3: you have saved the best wine for last. When you

432
00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:25,440
Speaker 3: pass this test of being faithful in the routine, God

433
00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:28,440
Speaker 3: has saved the best for last. What's in your future

434
00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:32,280
Speaker 3: is going to be more rewarding, more exciting than anything

435
00:27:32,280 --> 00:27:36,159
Speaker 3: you've imagined. Now. I'm challenging you to stay faithful in

436
00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:40,920
Speaker 3: the routine. Stay faithful when you're going in circles. Remember

437
00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:44,800
Speaker 3: the spinning is working for you. It's getting you prepared

438
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:48,080
Speaker 3: for the new things God has in store. Many of

439
00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:51,480
Speaker 3: you have passed this test. You've been faithful day in

440
00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:56,080
Speaker 3: and day out. I believe and declare, like Joshua, the

441
00:27:56,119 --> 00:27:58,520
Speaker 3: walls that have held you back are about to come

442
00:27:58,560 --> 00:28:02,240
Speaker 3: tumbling down. Moses, you may have been hidden, but you're

443
00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:05,040
Speaker 3: about to come out into the open. God is going

444
00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:08,359
Speaker 3: to turn your water into wine, take you into the

445
00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:12,760
Speaker 3: fullness of your destiny. In Jesus's name, If you receive it,

446
00:28:12,840 --> 00:28:16,480
Speaker 3: can you say him in today? I'd like to give

447
00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:19,720
Speaker 3: you an opportunity to make Jesus the lord of your life.

448
00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:24,639
Speaker 3: Would you pray with me? Just say Lord Jesus, I

449
00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:29,520
Speaker 3: repent of my sins come into my heart. I make

450
00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:33,920
Speaker 3: you my Lord and savior. If you prayed that simple prayer,

451
00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:36,880
Speaker 3: we believe you got born again. Get in a good

452
