He was in the lobby after the service, 0:02:27.639 --> 0:02:30.320 greeting people. He saw a man that he hadn't seen 0:02:30.360 --> 0:02:30.720 in a. 0:02:30.639 --> 0:02:31.560 Long long time. 0:02:32.000 --> 0:02:34.320 He pulled him aside and said, sir, you need to 0:02:34.400 --> 0:02:37.200 join the Army of the Lord. Man said, what are 0:02:37.200 --> 0:02:39.320 you talking about. I'm in the Army of the Lord. 0:02:39.840 --> 0:02:41.840 The pastor said, well, how come I only see you 0:02:41.880 --> 0:02:45.240 on Easter in Christmas? He whispered back, I'm in the 0:02:45.280 --> 0:02:46.120 secret Service. 0:02:47.480 --> 0:02:49.960 Say it like you mean it. This is my Bible. 0:02:50.320 --> 0:02:51.600 I am what it says. I am. 0:02:51.960 --> 0:02:54.200 I have what it says I have. I can do 0:02:54.280 --> 0:02:56.760 what it says I can do. Today I will be 0:02:56.840 --> 0:03:00.560 taught the word of God. I boldly confess. My mind 0:03:00.680 --> 0:03:03.800 is alert, my heart is receptive. I will never be 0:03:03.880 --> 0:03:08.680 the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you. I want 0:03:08.680 --> 0:03:11.639 to talk to you today about it's already set up. 0:03:12.480 --> 0:03:15.639 It's easy to go through life worried about how we're 0:03:15.639 --> 0:03:18.080 going to accomplish a dream, how we're going to get 0:03:18.120 --> 0:03:18.520 out of a. 0:03:18.480 --> 0:03:20.920 Problem, how we're going to meet the right person. 0:03:21.400 --> 0:03:23.880 We look at all the reasons why it's not going 0:03:23.919 --> 0:03:26.960 to work out. But when God laid out the plan 0:03:27.080 --> 0:03:30.680 for your life, he lined up everything you need to 0:03:30.760 --> 0:03:35.760 fulfill your destiny, every good break, every person, every solution. 0:03:36.560 --> 0:03:39.160 He's not trying to figure out how to do it. 0:03:39.160 --> 0:03:40.440 It's already set up. 0:03:41.120 --> 0:03:44.800 He's already set up the promotion, he's already set up 0:03:44.840 --> 0:03:48.240 the healing. That problem you don't think will turn around, 0:03:48.600 --> 0:03:52.040 He's already set up the answer. It's not a surprise 0:03:52.120 --> 0:03:55.840 to him. He had the solution before you had the problem. 0:03:56.400 --> 0:03:59.880 Those things that you're dreaming about, the desires God's put 0:03:59.880 --> 0:04:03.760 it in your heart, seems so unlikely. God wouldn't have 0:04:03.840 --> 0:04:06.520 given you the dream and not made a way to. 0:04:06.480 --> 0:04:09.120 Bring it to pass. It's already in. 0:04:09.080 --> 0:04:12.520 Your future waiting for you, And if you will stay 0:04:12.520 --> 0:04:15.640 in faith and not let negative voices talk you out 0:04:15.680 --> 0:04:18.840 of it, you'll come in to what God has already 0:04:18.880 --> 0:04:22.520 set up in Luke twenty two Jesus was about to 0:04:22.560 --> 0:04:26.040 be crucified. He told Peter and John to go ahead 0:04:26.080 --> 0:04:30.840 of him to Jerusalem and make arrangements for the Passover Meal, 0:04:31.360 --> 0:04:33.040 now known as the Last Supper. 0:04:33.600 --> 0:04:35.120 They asked them where to go. 0:04:35.960 --> 0:04:38.760 He told them as soon as they entered the city, 0:04:39.360 --> 0:04:42.120 a man would meet them carrying a pitcher of water. 0:04:42.760 --> 0:04:44.680 He would lead them to a certain house. 0:04:45.279 --> 0:04:48.440 They were to ask the owner where the guest room 0:04:48.680 --> 0:04:52.520 was where they could have the passover meal. Verse twelve 0:04:52.560 --> 0:04:56.960 says the owner will take you upstairs to a large 0:04:57.080 --> 0:05:01.160 room that is already set up. He didn't say, go 0:05:01.200 --> 0:05:03.960 to the house. Tell them Jesus wants to have dinner. 0:05:04.240 --> 0:05:06.480 Quit get it set up, Get the food, get the table. 0:05:06.800 --> 0:05:11.560 He said, it's already set up. What God has planned 0:05:11.560 --> 0:05:15.080 for you. He's not thinking about doing. Maybe one day 0:05:15.120 --> 0:05:17.480 it'll happen. One day he'll bring it together. 0:05:18.080 --> 0:05:19.480 It's already in place. 0:05:20.040 --> 0:05:23.000 The good news is God knows how to get you there. 0:05:23.880 --> 0:05:25.800 Notice how detailed Jesus was. 0:05:26.320 --> 0:05:28.680 He said, as soon as you enter the. 0:05:28.560 --> 0:05:32.280 City, you'll meet a man, not just any man, a 0:05:32.320 --> 0:05:35.279 man carrying a picture of water. He will lead you 0:05:35.360 --> 0:05:38.040 to a house. You tell the owner what I need. 0:05:38.120 --> 0:05:39.400 He'll take you upstairs. 0:05:40.000 --> 0:05:41.800 It was like a movie. 0:05:41.880 --> 0:05:45.320 All these details had to come together at the exact 0:05:45.400 --> 0:05:48.320 right time. If the man would have been late in 0:05:48.400 --> 0:05:50.960 the city, the disciples would have missed him. 0:05:51.400 --> 0:05:52.920 If he hadn't been carrying. 0:05:52.640 --> 0:05:55.520 A picture of water, they wouldn't have known who to follow. 0:05:56.040 --> 0:05:58.440 If he led them to the wrong house, nothing would 0:05:58.440 --> 0:06:02.640 have been prepared. The right person, the right house, the 0:06:02.720 --> 0:06:08.279 right timing. Everything fell precisely into place. What am I saying, 0:06:08.800 --> 0:06:13.600 God is not only strategically directing your steps, but he's 0:06:13.760 --> 0:06:15.920 orchestrating everything around you. 0:06:16.720 --> 0:06:17.360 He has the. 0:06:17.360 --> 0:06:20.400 People you need that will be there not just to 0:06:20.440 --> 0:06:23.160 meet you, but they will lead you to your blessing, 0:06:23.680 --> 0:06:26.400 lead you to a promotion, lead you to the next level. 0:06:27.120 --> 0:06:30.000 They didn't have to convince the owner to be good 0:06:30.000 --> 0:06:33.400 to them. Please do us a favor. Jesus really wants 0:06:33.440 --> 0:06:37.400 to come have dinner here tonight. The owner was expecting them. 0:06:38.080 --> 0:06:41.000 He already knew they were coming. He had the table 0:06:41.520 --> 0:06:45.800 already set up. God has some of these already set 0:06:45.880 --> 0:06:50.000 up blessings waiting for you. He's already spoken to the 0:06:50.120 --> 0:06:51.200 right people. 0:06:51.160 --> 0:06:52.080 To be good to you. 0:06:52.640 --> 0:06:56.400 He's lined up divine connections people that will go out 0:06:56.440 --> 0:06:59.640 of their way to show you favor. You don't have 0:06:59.720 --> 0:07:02.880 to try to manipulate people force a door to open. 0:07:03.560 --> 0:07:07.120 The people God has ordained to help you. He's already 0:07:07.160 --> 0:07:08.239 prepared their hearts. 0:07:08.560 --> 0:07:10.720 They'll have the table already set up. 0:07:11.640 --> 0:07:14.600 A man I know went to a government office to 0:07:14.640 --> 0:07:18.360 get some paperwork so that his business could grow. The 0:07:18.440 --> 0:07:22.480 clerk behind the counter was very unhelpful, very rude, like 0:07:22.520 --> 0:07:26.800 he was annoyed. He took the men's information but told 0:07:26.880 --> 0:07:30.040 him that they were so backed up it could take five. 0:07:29.880 --> 0:07:31.880 Years for the paperwork to go through. 0:07:32.720 --> 0:07:36.200 The man was very disappointed, and he said, nicely, is 0:07:36.200 --> 0:07:39.000 there anything you can do to speed it up. The 0:07:39.040 --> 0:07:42.000 clerk practically yelled back at him, Sir, I told you 0:07:42.040 --> 0:07:44.640 we're backed up. It's going to take five years. He 0:07:44.760 --> 0:07:49.360 left there, discouraged. Two weeks later, the clerk called and 0:07:49.440 --> 0:07:53.520 said his paperwork had gone through. The man was excited 0:07:53.560 --> 0:07:55.200 and went down and saw the clerk. 0:07:55.280 --> 0:07:55.800 Thanked him. 0:07:55.920 --> 0:07:58.000 Said I thought you said it was going to take 0:07:58.080 --> 0:08:01.520 five years. The clerk said to him it should have, 0:08:02.240 --> 0:08:05.040 But ever since I met you, I can't get you 0:08:05.120 --> 0:08:08.320 off my mind. I wake up thinking about you, I 0:08:08.400 --> 0:08:10.559 eat dinner thinking about you. I go to bed thinking 0:08:10.600 --> 0:08:13.800 about you. I'm sick of thinking about you. Take the 0:08:13.840 --> 0:08:19.200 paperwork and leave. When God has ordained someone to help you, 0:08:19.840 --> 0:08:24.320 they don't have to like you. Quit being frustrated by 0:08:24.360 --> 0:08:28.440 who's not for you. If they're supposed to be for you, 0:08:28.920 --> 0:08:31.880 they'll be good to you, even though they don't like you. 0:08:32.559 --> 0:08:35.640 They can't help it. God controls the universe. 0:08:36.200 --> 0:08:38.600 If he needs them to play a part in what 0:08:38.720 --> 0:08:40.840 he's already set up for you, they. 0:08:40.760 --> 0:08:45.280 Won't have a choice. The scripture says God has purposed it. 0:08:45.640 --> 0:08:46.600 Who can annul it? 0:08:47.360 --> 0:08:50.480 This is saying what God has already set up, who 0:08:50.520 --> 0:08:54.080 can stop it? People can't stop it. Bad breaks can't 0:08:54.080 --> 0:08:57.960 stop it. Injustice can't stop it. It's already set up. 0:08:58.480 --> 0:09:02.200 You are right on schedule. You keep honoring God, and 0:09:02.280 --> 0:09:03.960 what he's already set up. 0:09:04.200 --> 0:09:06.680 Is going to find you. You're not going to have 0:09:06.760 --> 0:09:08.680 to go after. It is going to come to you. 0:09:09.559 --> 0:09:13.440 When we needed land to build a new sanctuary twice, 0:09:13.679 --> 0:09:16.400 the property that we really wanted was sold out from 0:09:16.480 --> 0:09:17.000 under us. 0:09:17.559 --> 0:09:19.800 I was disappointed. I thought, God, where are you? 0:09:20.600 --> 0:09:24.360 I didn't realize the compact center was already set up. 0:09:24.960 --> 0:09:27.520 When it doesn't work out your way, it's. 0:09:27.320 --> 0:09:29.360 Because God has something better. 0:09:30.120 --> 0:09:33.720 Don't live frustrated the closed doors are God. 0:09:33.559 --> 0:09:37.600 Doing us a favor. Six months later, a friend of 0:09:37.640 --> 0:09:40.120 mine called out of the blue, said, Joe, let's go 0:09:40.160 --> 0:09:41.760 to lunch. I have an idea. 0:09:42.480 --> 0:09:45.240 He told me how the rockets were moving out of 0:09:45.280 --> 0:09:48.160 the Compact Center and how this would be a great 0:09:48.200 --> 0:09:52.280 home for Lakewood. In one sense, I didn't go after 0:09:52.320 --> 0:09:56.600 the Compact Center. The Compact Center came after me. God 0:09:56.720 --> 0:09:58.600 used that man to lead. 0:09:58.480 --> 0:10:01.400 Me to what he ought already had prepared. 0:10:02.120 --> 0:10:05.480 He was a divine connection, part of the plan that 0:10:05.520 --> 0:10:08.760 God had already set up. That's why you don't have 0:10:08.840 --> 0:10:11.760 to live worried how are you going to accomplish the dream, 0:10:11.840 --> 0:10:14.319 worried about how you're going to get the breaks you need. 0:10:14.760 --> 0:10:16.120 God has it all figured out. 0:10:16.800 --> 0:10:20.439 He's already lined up the right people to come across 0:10:20.480 --> 0:10:24.240 your path. And what God has in store is bigger 0:10:24.320 --> 0:10:25.640 than you can imagine. 0:10:25.800 --> 0:10:28.240 It's more rewarding, more fulfilling. 0:10:29.000 --> 0:10:32.360 Instead of going around discouraged because with what didn't work out, 0:10:32.520 --> 0:10:33.280 turn it around. 0:10:33.880 --> 0:10:37.520 Father, thank you for the blessings that you've already said up. 0:10:37.920 --> 0:10:40.840 Thank you for the good breaks, the healing, the promotion, 0:10:41.240 --> 0:10:44.679 the right people that you've already ordained to come across 0:10:44.720 --> 0:10:49.920 my path. When you live in faith, expecting God's goodness, 0:10:50.280 --> 0:10:53.480 there will be moments of favor that you come into. 0:10:53.920 --> 0:10:57.880 Suddenly you didn't see it coming, there was no sign 0:10:57.920 --> 0:11:01.760 of it. But suddenly the paperwork goes through, Suddenly the 0:11:01.840 --> 0:11:05.200 compact center shows up. Suddenly you meet the right person. 0:11:06.000 --> 0:11:09.360 That was one of those blessings that God had already 0:11:09.400 --> 0:11:13.160 said up In March chapter eleven, Jesus was on the 0:11:13.200 --> 0:11:17.120 Mount of Olives. He told his disciples to go into 0:11:17.160 --> 0:11:21.000 the nearby village. They would find a colt tied up 0:11:21.400 --> 0:11:22.680 that had never been ridden. 0:11:23.200 --> 0:11:25.440 He said, untie it and bring it to me. 0:11:26.080 --> 0:11:28.679 If anyone asked what you're doing, tell him the Lord 0:11:28.760 --> 0:11:31.839 needs it and we'll return it soon. They went in 0:11:31.920 --> 0:11:34.560 the village and just like he said, they found the colt. 0:11:35.000 --> 0:11:37.440 It started to untie it. Somebody stopped them, what are 0:11:37.480 --> 0:11:40.040 you doing, that's not your animal. They said, the Lord 0:11:40.120 --> 0:11:42.600 needs it. They gave them permission. 0:11:42.240 --> 0:11:42.839 To take it. 0:11:43.480 --> 0:11:47.240 Jesus got on the colt and rode it into Jerusalem. 0:11:47.840 --> 0:11:51.520 When people saw him coming, they put palm branches down 0:11:51.520 --> 0:11:54.560 on the ground and laid out their coats as he 0:11:54.679 --> 0:11:59.160 passed by, they shouted, Hosanna, blessed is he who comes 0:11:59.240 --> 0:12:02.000 in the name of the World Lord. This was all 0:12:02.120 --> 0:12:08.520 prophesied many years earlier by Isaiah that Jerusalem would receive 0:12:08.640 --> 0:12:12.280 their king coming on a cult that had never been ridden. 0:12:13.160 --> 0:12:16.560 But when the Disciples went to get the cult that day, 0:12:17.040 --> 0:12:20.680 they didn't realize the significance of what they were doing. 0:12:21.400 --> 0:12:22.160 They thought they. 0:12:22.080 --> 0:12:25.120 Were just running an errand Jesus needs a ride, No 0:12:25.200 --> 0:12:29.400 big deal. They didn't know the cult they were untying 0:12:30.000 --> 0:12:34.360 was fulfilling prophecy. It seemed routine to them, but there 0:12:34.440 --> 0:12:38.600 was nothing ordinary about that moment. They couldn't see it, 0:12:39.040 --> 0:12:41.600 but it was a part of the plan that the 0:12:41.640 --> 0:12:46.280 creator of the universe had already set up. Like them, 0:12:46.640 --> 0:12:49.560 there are times we're going through the day doing our 0:12:49.640 --> 0:12:52.800 normal routine, going to lunch with an old friend that 0:12:52.920 --> 0:12:56.120 called no big deal. We can't see it, but those 0:12:56.160 --> 0:13:02.040 are destiny moments. God is orchestrated what he ordained for 0:13:02.200 --> 0:13:07.200 your life to come together. Like Isaiah prophesied that Jesus 0:13:07.280 --> 0:13:11.800 would come writing on a cult, your life has been prophesied. 0:13:12.559 --> 0:13:16.360 God has written every day of your life in his book. 0:13:17.040 --> 0:13:18.760 You are not at the mercy of people. 0:13:19.320 --> 0:13:19.600 Luck. 0:13:20.080 --> 0:13:21.439 I hope I get some breaks. 0:13:22.000 --> 0:13:25.520 Before you were formed in your mother's womb, God. 0:13:25.360 --> 0:13:27.800 Knew you and planned out all of your days. 0:13:28.679 --> 0:13:33.600 He has these destiny moments where he'll make things happen 0:13:33.920 --> 0:13:37.600 that you couldn't make happen. He's already set up the cult. 0:13:38.160 --> 0:13:41.400 He's already set up the table. He's already set up 0:13:41.440 --> 0:13:45.400 the right people, the breaks you need. Not only are 0:13:45.480 --> 0:13:50.960 your steps being divinely orchestrated, He's orchestrating the steps of 0:13:51.040 --> 0:13:53.200 people and circumstances around you. 0:13:54.320 --> 0:13:56.840 If he knew where that cult was. 0:13:57.440 --> 0:14:01.000 If that animal was put there by the Creator, how 0:14:01.080 --> 0:14:03.080 much more does God know where you are? 0:14:03.480 --> 0:14:06.040 How much more is he lining up what you need? 0:14:07.000 --> 0:14:10.080 This cult had never been ridden. It was to fulfill 0:14:10.200 --> 0:14:14.560 Isaiah's prophecy. I can imagine when the owner tried to 0:14:14.600 --> 0:14:17.160 write him like he did his other animals. 0:14:17.400 --> 0:14:20.120 He got halfway on, that cult bucked him off. 0:14:20.840 --> 0:14:23.720 He thought, I'll show you had four or five strong 0:14:23.760 --> 0:14:26.560 men hold the colt. But when he tried to get on, 0:14:26.840 --> 0:14:30.040 it was like the cult had supernatural strength, bucked him 0:14:30.040 --> 0:14:33.160 off again. He finally thought, I'm leaving that colt alone. 0:14:33.280 --> 0:14:36.280 Something's wrong with him there wasn't anything wrong. 0:14:36.760 --> 0:14:39.840 That Colt had been marked by Destiny. 0:14:40.120 --> 0:14:43.760 One thing this shows us is what God has ordained 0:14:43.760 --> 0:14:44.440 for you. 0:14:44.880 --> 0:14:46.520 Will not go to anyone else. 0:14:47.320 --> 0:14:52.520 Don't worry about somebody getting your promotion, your contract, your blessing. 0:14:53.000 --> 0:14:55.560 If it's yours, that cult will buck them off. 0:14:56.360 --> 0:15:00.520 What God has prophesied for your life cannot be taken 0:15:00.680 --> 0:15:05.320 by other people. Now, quit being frustrated because somebody got 0:15:05.360 --> 0:15:08.440 what you wanted. If it was supposed to be yours, 0:15:08.880 --> 0:15:12.160 it wouldn't have happened. Be happy for them, knowing that 0:15:12.200 --> 0:15:15.680 God has something better for you. When we tried to 0:15:15.680 --> 0:15:20.840 buy that property that Colt bucked us off twice, I 0:15:20.880 --> 0:15:22.440 did my best to make it happen. 0:15:23.000 --> 0:15:25.920 But you can't override what God has ordained. 0:15:26.920 --> 0:15:30.720 Just as God opens doors that no person can shut, 0:15:31.280 --> 0:15:34.400 God closes doors that no person can open. 0:15:35.320 --> 0:15:36.480 If something bucked you. 0:15:36.520 --> 0:15:39.880 Off, be smart enough to realize God didn't want you 0:15:39.920 --> 0:15:42.880 to have it. If it's supposed to be yours, you 0:15:42.920 --> 0:15:46.560 can rest assured nobody else will get it. When the 0:15:46.600 --> 0:15:50.360 prophet Samuel went to Jesse's house to anoint one of 0:15:50.400 --> 0:15:54.000 his sons as the next king of Israel, seven of 0:15:54.080 --> 0:15:57.120 the sons were in the house. David was still out 0:15:57.160 --> 0:16:02.000 in the shepherd's fields. Jesse didn't bother bringing his youngest son, 0:16:02.120 --> 0:16:07.080 David in. He thought he's not king material. He's too young, 0:16:07.640 --> 0:16:12.440 too small, doesn't have the talent, the experience. People would 0:16:12.480 --> 0:16:15.880 judge you by the outside. They'll try to write you off, 0:16:16.160 --> 0:16:17.960 but they don't know what God. 0:16:17.680 --> 0:16:18.280 Put in you. 0:16:19.000 --> 0:16:22.960 They can't see your seeds of greatness. They didn't prophesy 0:16:23.040 --> 0:16:26.480 your life. They didn't choose you before you were formed 0:16:26.560 --> 0:16:29.720 in your mother's wound. They don't know what God has 0:16:29.840 --> 0:16:34.240 already set up for you. God loves to take people 0:16:34.480 --> 0:16:38.920 that others discount, others discredit, say it couldn't be them. 0:16:39.040 --> 0:16:42.440 They're not king material. They've made too many mistakes. They 0:16:42.480 --> 0:16:45.600 come from the wrong family. That's the kind of people 0:16:45.680 --> 0:16:47.080 God chooses to. 0:16:47.160 --> 0:16:48.560 Show out in their lives. 0:16:49.720 --> 0:16:53.560 Samuel caught each son forward one by one. He tried 0:16:53.600 --> 0:16:56.560 to pour the oil to anoint them. Turned the bottle 0:16:56.640 --> 0:17:00.320 upside down, but the oil wouldn't come out to the 0:17:00.360 --> 0:17:02.360 last son. I can see him hitting the bottom of 0:17:02.400 --> 0:17:07.239 the bottle, but the oil defied gravity because it was 0:17:07.280 --> 0:17:11.480 not ordained to go to those seven sons. The oil 0:17:11.600 --> 0:17:15.000 that belongs to you will not go to anyone else. 0:17:15.680 --> 0:17:20.320 Nobody got your promotion, nobody got your contract, your girlfriend 0:17:20.359 --> 0:17:23.199 at your house. The oil that's a good one, the 0:17:23.240 --> 0:17:26.600 oil that belongs to you, cannot go to other people. 0:17:27.400 --> 0:17:31.560 Jesse finally brought David in. The youngest son, Samuel went 0:17:31.600 --> 0:17:35.160 to annoint him, and the oil freely flowed. I could 0:17:35.160 --> 0:17:38.240 see his father, Jesse standing there with his eyes his 0:17:38.280 --> 0:17:40.680 mouth wide open, thinking, David. 0:17:41.280 --> 0:17:43.960 I never dreamed it would be him. 0:17:44.080 --> 0:17:47.400 What God has already set up for you is going 0:17:47.440 --> 0:17:51.120 to cause people to stand there like Jesse in total disbelief. 0:17:51.359 --> 0:17:53.920 They never dreamed you could be that blessed. 0:17:53.880 --> 0:17:57.919 That successful, that healthy, that free. They saw you with 0:17:58.040 --> 0:18:02.640 all your limitations, can't do what you don't have. They 0:18:02.680 --> 0:18:06.840 didn't realize God had already set up blessings that would 0:18:06.920 --> 0:18:11.320 catapult you to the next level. The scripture says, no 0:18:11.520 --> 0:18:16.560 person has seen, heard, or imagined what God has prepared 0:18:16.720 --> 0:18:20.600 for those that love him. God has some things prepared 0:18:21.119 --> 0:18:24.639 that are going to amaze you. Promotion that you didn't 0:18:24.640 --> 0:18:29.359 see coming, favor that you didn't deserve, increase that takes 0:18:29.400 --> 0:18:32.720 your family to a new level. If you've seen it, 0:18:33.160 --> 0:18:35.960 heard it, or imagined it, that's not what this is 0:18:36.000 --> 0:18:40.680 talking about. What God has prepared, what he's already said up. 0:18:40.520 --> 0:18:42.160 Is something that you've never seen. 0:18:43.280 --> 0:18:46.360 Two thousand and seven, we received a phone call from 0:18:46.400 --> 0:18:48.920 a young lady that worked for the New York Yankees. 0:18:49.400 --> 0:18:51.960 We never met her, but she likes our ministry. 0:18:52.640 --> 0:18:56.479 The Yankees were building a new baseball stadium. She wanted 0:18:56.560 --> 0:18:59.320 us to come and hold a Night of Hope for 0:18:59.400 --> 0:19:03.479 the first in the new baseball stadium. When the staff 0:19:03.560 --> 0:19:06.439 told me, I thought they were joking. You mean they 0:19:06.520 --> 0:19:09.680 want a minister from Texas to come. They could have 0:19:09.760 --> 0:19:12.160 had a big rock and roll band, a big production, 0:19:12.600 --> 0:19:16.600 but she wanted us. This young lady was in charge 0:19:16.640 --> 0:19:20.480 of special events. She could have liked us, but worked 0:19:20.480 --> 0:19:23.800 in accounting on the grounds crew. Nothing wrong with that, 0:19:24.080 --> 0:19:26.840 but she wouldn't have had the authority to invite us. 0:19:27.480 --> 0:19:30.119 Two thousand and nine, we went and held the first 0:19:30.359 --> 0:19:32.960 non baseball event in the new Yankee Stadium. 0:19:33.240 --> 0:19:34.040 What am I saying? 0:19:35.040 --> 0:19:40.399 God has the right people in the right positions for you. 0:19:40.400 --> 0:19:43.720 You don't have to have favor with everyone, just favor 0:19:43.800 --> 0:19:47.280 with the right one. A dozen people may not like you, 0:19:47.760 --> 0:19:51.600 but they can't stop you. God has already set up 0:19:51.680 --> 0:19:56.200 the right people that will open doors to promotion, to opportunity, 0:19:56.359 --> 0:20:00.080 to favor. You're going to say, like me, Wow, I 0:20:00.080 --> 0:20:03.520 didn't see that coming. I didn't have the connections, the talent, 0:20:03.720 --> 0:20:08.280 the experience. That's one of those prepared blessings that you 0:20:08.400 --> 0:20:13.359 have not seen, heard or imagined. But sometimes there's a 0:20:13.400 --> 0:20:15.000 blessing already set up. 0:20:15.359 --> 0:20:17.440 But people will try to talk you out of it. 0:20:17.920 --> 0:20:20.159 People will tell you all the reasons why it's not 0:20:20.240 --> 0:20:23.600 going to happen. The problem is God didn't put the 0:20:23.680 --> 0:20:24.400 dream in them. 0:20:24.760 --> 0:20:25.960 He put the dream in you. 0:20:26.840 --> 0:20:30.080 They can't see what you see, they can't feel what 0:20:30.160 --> 0:20:30.639 you feel. 0:20:31.280 --> 0:20:33.760 They're looking at it in the ordinary, the natural. 0:20:34.480 --> 0:20:37.960 But God puts things in your spirit that are bigger 0:20:38.000 --> 0:20:41.040 than you can accomplish on your own, and you may 0:20:41.080 --> 0:20:44.159 not see how it can happen. But God wouldn't have 0:20:44.200 --> 0:20:47.160 given you the dream, He wouldn't have put the promise 0:20:47.280 --> 0:20:51.200 in you if he had not already set up how to. 0:20:51.119 --> 0:20:52.400 Bring it to pass. 0:20:52.840 --> 0:20:56.000 He's a supernatural God. He knows how to bring it 0:20:56.080 --> 0:20:59.720 all together. He has the cults set up, he has 0:20:59.760 --> 0:21:02.520 the staff members in the right position that like you. 0:21:03.000 --> 0:21:05.040 He has the table already prepared. 0:21:05.720 --> 0:21:08.480 When I was growing up, my mother always wanted a 0:21:08.560 --> 0:21:12.640 swimming pool in our backyard. My father was very generous 0:21:12.680 --> 0:21:16.159 with my mother. He would give her anything except a 0:21:16.200 --> 0:21:18.960 swimming pool. He said, Dody, I don't want to pull 0:21:19.119 --> 0:21:22.520 it's too much money, too much maintenance. We have enough 0:21:22.520 --> 0:21:25.400 to take care of already. He gave her all these 0:21:25.440 --> 0:21:26.240 good reasons. 0:21:26.760 --> 0:21:29.680 My mother no more paid attention to that. She let 0:21:29.720 --> 0:21:30.720 that go in one. 0:21:30.560 --> 0:21:33.760
