42
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:05,200
Speaker 4: promise you we'll make you feel right at home. I

43
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:07,800
Speaker 4: like to start with something funny, and I heard about

44
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:11,680
Speaker 4: this groom at the wedding rehearsal. He said to the minister,

45
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:14,959
Speaker 4: I'll make a deal with you if during the vows

46
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:18,360
Speaker 4: you'll leave out all that love, honor, and obey stuff.

47
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:21,080
Speaker 4: I'll give you one hundred dollars. He slipped one hundred

48
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:24,200
Speaker 4: dollars deal in the minister's hand walked away with a smile.

49
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:28,040
Speaker 4: The next day, during the ceremony, the minister said to him,

50
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:31,800
Speaker 4: do you promise to bow down before your wife to

51
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:35,280
Speaker 4: take her breakfast in bed to fulfill her every desire?

52
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:38,919
Speaker 4: He gulped in astonishment and said, in a weak voice,

53
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:42,040
Speaker 4: I do. Then he whispered in the minister's ear. I

54
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 4: thought we had a deal. The minister handed him his

55
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:47,079
Speaker 4: money back and said, your wife made me a much

56
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:51,760
Speaker 4: better offer. Say it like you mean it. This is

57
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:54,720
Speaker 4: my Bible. I am what it says I am. I

58
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:57,240
Speaker 4: have what it says I have. I can do what

59
00:02:57,320 --> 00:02:59,959
Speaker 4: it says I can do. Today I will be talked

60
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:04,200
Speaker 4: the word of God. I boldly confess. My mind is alert,

61
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:07,400
Speaker 4: my heart is receptive. I will never be the same.

62
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:12,119
Speaker 4: In Jesus' name, God bless you. I want to talk

63
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:16,440
Speaker 4: to you today about just obey. Many times we don't

64
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:19,840
Speaker 4: realize that God is speaking to us. We have an

65
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:23,520
Speaker 4: impression on the inside, a prompting to be good to

66
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:28,200
Speaker 4: someone that's not random. That's God talking to us. Or

67
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:32,000
Speaker 4: you're in a situation and you feel an unrest and uneasiness.

68
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:36,000
Speaker 4: On the surface, it seems fine, looks like a good opportunity.

69
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:39,600
Speaker 4: But down in here an alarm is going off. Something's

70
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:44,240
Speaker 4: saying it's not right, stay away. That's not just your nerves.

71
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:48,440
Speaker 4: It's not just you being overly cautious. That's God wanting

72
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:53,480
Speaker 4: to protect you. When you feel these impressions, these promptings.

73
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:57,360
Speaker 4: Don't ignore it, don't talk yourself out of it, just

74
00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:02,240
Speaker 4: obey if you'll follow that still small voice. It says

75
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:05,800
Speaker 4: in Psalms that God will lead you down the best

76
00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:08,920
Speaker 4: path for your life. And the scripture talks about our

77
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:12,600
Speaker 4: inner ear, not a physical ear. You won't hear an

78
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:16,040
Speaker 4: audible voice. But if you'll be sensitive to what your

79
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:20,760
Speaker 4: inner ear is hearing the still small voice, the promptings,

80
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:25,400
Speaker 4: the suggestions, the alarms, then God will keep you from

81
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:29,200
Speaker 4: heartache and pain. He'll leads you into promotion in favor.

82
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:32,400
Speaker 4: He'll use you to be a blessing to others. Then

83
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:36,080
Speaker 4: the book of Deuteronomy, God gave Moses the ten commandments

84
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:40,640
Speaker 4: and different instructions to follow. Then God said to the Israelites,

85
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 4: don't add or subtract to what I've given you. Just obey.

86
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:49,960
Speaker 4: God was saying, don't debate it, don't reason it out,

87
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:54,000
Speaker 4: don't overanalyze it. Just do what I'm asking you to do.

88
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:58,240
Speaker 4: And too often we feel these impressions. We have a

89
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:02,080
Speaker 4: knowing on the inside, but we dismiss it, think I'll

90
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:06,120
Speaker 4: do that later. We override it. I feel an unrest

91
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:10,160
Speaker 4: but looks like a good opportunity, or we overanalyze it.

92
00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:13,479
Speaker 4: That couldn't be for me, that doesn't make sense. Now,

93
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:17,000
Speaker 4: don't talk yourself out of it. Don't come up with excuses.

94
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:20,440
Speaker 4: God is saying to us what he said to the Israelites.

95
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:24,479
Speaker 4: Just obey. Years ago, a friend of mine was in

96
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:27,640
Speaker 4: church one Sunday, and he was a young man, a

97
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:31,560
Speaker 4: new believer. He looked across the way and saw this woman.

98
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:35,719
Speaker 4: Something said to him so strongly on the inside, go

99
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:39,240
Speaker 4: give her a gift. He felt an impression to be

100
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:42,839
Speaker 4: good to her, but his mind said, you don't even

101
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:45,719
Speaker 4: know the lady. She looks like she's doing fine. She

102
00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:49,680
Speaker 4: doesn't need your money. He came up with excuse after excuse,

103
00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:52,160
Speaker 4: and he kept putting it off, but he couldn't get

104
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:55,400
Speaker 4: away from it. He looked in his wallet. All he

105
00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 4: had that day was a five dollar bill. He thought,

106
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:00,640
Speaker 4: there is no way I'm going to go give her

107
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:04,599
Speaker 4: five dollars. I'd be embarrassed. The whole service, a debate

108
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:08,120
Speaker 4: was taking place in his mind. The longer he waited,

109
00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:11,120
Speaker 4: the more miserable he was. He knew he was supposed

110
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:14,240
Speaker 4: to do it. Finally, he got his nerve up, and

111
00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:17,279
Speaker 4: after the service he went over to her and said, ma'am,

112
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:19,920
Speaker 4: I know you don't know me, and this may seem

113
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 4: kind of strange, but I feel like I'm supposed to

114
00:06:22,800 --> 00:06:25,640
Speaker 4: give you this. He placed the five dollar bill in

115
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:29,760
Speaker 4: her hand. She looked at it and started weeping. She said,

116
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:32,800
Speaker 4: I only had enough gas to get to church. I

117
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:36,040
Speaker 4: prayed God, please give me the gas money to make

118
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:41,280
Speaker 4: it back home. She hugged him and said, you're my miracle. Friends.

119
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:44,640
Speaker 4: God knows what he's doing. He can see things that

120
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:47,839
Speaker 4: we can't see. Don't talk yourself out of it. When

121
00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:51,520
Speaker 4: you obey that still small voice, God will use you

122
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:55,680
Speaker 4: to brighten people's day. And here's the key. Any time

123
00:06:55,720 --> 00:07:00,279
Speaker 4: you obey, a blessing will always follow. You'll never be

124
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:03,560
Speaker 4: good to someone else without God being good Back to

125
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:06,960
Speaker 4: you now I wonder how much higher we would go

126
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:10,360
Speaker 4: and how much more of God's favor we would see

127
00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:14,840
Speaker 4: if we would just obey, not argue, not try to

128
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:19,080
Speaker 4: reason it out, not come up with excuses. God wants

129
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:22,720
Speaker 4: to lead you down the best path for your life.

130
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:26,080
Speaker 4: He knows where the favor is, where the promotion is,

131
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:29,680
Speaker 4: where the right people are. If you'll be sensitive to

132
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:33,840
Speaker 4: his voice, pay attention to what your inner ear is hearing,

133
00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:37,640
Speaker 4: there's no limit to where God will take you today.

134
00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:41,240
Speaker 4: My friend that gave that five dollars, he's extremely blessed,

135
00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:45,400
Speaker 4: very successful. But if he hadn't learned to be faithful

136
00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:48,960
Speaker 4: with the small, with the five, how could God trust

137
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:52,840
Speaker 4: him with more? If you'll start being faithful in the

138
00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:56,480
Speaker 4: small things you know you need to do. You hear

139
00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:59,680
Speaker 4: that voice, that impression tells you you need to get

140
00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:03,760
Speaker 4: to work on time. That's not just your conscience bothering you.

141
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:07,840
Speaker 4: That's God talking to you. You feel that prompting. You

142
00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:10,760
Speaker 4: need to quit drinking so much coffee. You need to

143
00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:13,440
Speaker 4: take that course to improve your skills. You need to

144
00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:17,360
Speaker 4: stop being sarcastic to your spouse. God talks to us

145
00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:21,880
Speaker 4: about practical things. Sometimes we think he only talks to

146
00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:27,560
Speaker 4: us about redemption and salvation, doctrine righteousness. Yes, but he

147
00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:31,120
Speaker 4: also talks to us about keeping the house clean, about

148
00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:34,439
Speaker 4: not staying up all night watching television, about not leaving

149
00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:36,839
Speaker 4: the grocery cart in the parking lot, putting it back

150
00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:41,240
Speaker 4: where you found it, about everyday things. When I was

151
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:44,280
Speaker 4: in my early twenties, I had a ball game at

152
00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:46,560
Speaker 4: nine thirty at night on the other side of town,

153
00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 4: and I left with plenty of time to get there,

154
00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:52,400
Speaker 4: but there was construction on the freeway. I was delayed

155
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:55,040
Speaker 4: about thirty minutes. I had to make up a lot

156
00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:57,520
Speaker 4: of ground to get to my game on time. And

157
00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:01,720
Speaker 4: once I got through the construction, the freeway was wide open.

158
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:05,400
Speaker 4: Nobody was on it. I had a black sports car.

159
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:08,719
Speaker 4: I was feeling good. I thought, I'm gonna open this

160
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:11,240
Speaker 4: thing up and see what it'll do. I tell you

161
00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:13,160
Speaker 4: how fast I was going, but my mother's sitting on

162
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:17,080
Speaker 4: the front road. I was flying the whole time. Down

163
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:21,480
Speaker 4: in here. Something was saying slow down, slow down, slow down.

164
00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:26,080
Speaker 4: I answered back, no thanks, no thanks, no thanks. Nobody

165
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:28,840
Speaker 4: was on the road. I didn't see any other cars.

166
00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:33,319
Speaker 4: Then out of nowhere, this car came up right next

167
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:37,160
Speaker 4: to me started driving alongside. I thought, what do you

168
00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:41,080
Speaker 4: know he wants to race? He had an old, beat

169
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:43,559
Speaker 4: up rundown car. Thought what is he thinking? He didn't

170
00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:46,120
Speaker 4: have a chance. I took off and floored it. He

171
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:49,000
Speaker 4: caught back up to me this time. When I looked over,

172
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:53,920
Speaker 4: he held up his badge in the window. He pointed

173
00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:59,040
Speaker 4: at me and said, very sternly, slow down. I drove

174
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:03,200
Speaker 4: fifty five for the next seven years. But if we

175
00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:07,200
Speaker 4: will obey these promptings, God will keep us out of trouble,

176
00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:13,000
Speaker 4: will avoid unnecessary heartache and pain. And we know God says,

177
00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:15,959
Speaker 4: go into all the world and share the good news.

178
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:20,079
Speaker 4: But God also says, slow down on the freeway, quit

179
00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:24,000
Speaker 4: eating so much junk, forgive your coworker, be kind to

180
00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:28,559
Speaker 4: your neighbor, pay attention to the practical things. The more

181
00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:31,960
Speaker 4: you pass these tests, the more God can trust you,

182
00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:35,719
Speaker 4: the more favor he'll release in your life. But if

183
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:39,200
Speaker 4: God has to argue with you about everything, you make

184
00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:42,880
Speaker 4: excuses why you shouldn't follow those promptings, you'll get stuck.

185
00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:48,040
Speaker 4: Isaiah said, if you're willing and obedient, you will eat

186
00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:51,120
Speaker 4: the good of the land. When you learn this principle

187
00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:54,960
Speaker 4: to just obey. You feel that impression to call a

188
00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:58,400
Speaker 4: friend and encourage them. I'm going to call them. You

189
00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:03,520
Speaker 4: hear that prompting, be more discipline in your spending, your obedience.

190
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:07,880
Speaker 4: You have that knowing on the inside. I know I

191
00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:10,720
Speaker 4: need to eat healthier. I know I need to visit

192
00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:13,640
Speaker 4: my parents. I know I need to take that class.

193
00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:18,160
Speaker 4: Here's a key. The I knows are God talking to you.

194
00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:20,600
Speaker 4: You didn't just come up with that. God is asking

195
00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:24,000
Speaker 4: you to do it. Don't dismiss it, don't put it off.

196
00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:27,400
Speaker 4: The I knows will lead you down that best path

197
00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:30,240
Speaker 4: for your life. And one way we know it's God.

198
00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:33,480
Speaker 4: It doesn't go away. It keeps coming up again and

199
00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:36,040
Speaker 4: again in the middle of the night. You're not even

200
00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:39,400
Speaker 4: thinking about it, and there it is. That's God wanting

201
00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:42,360
Speaker 4: to get your attention. And the scripture says God leads

202
00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:48,080
Speaker 4: us by promptings. One version says by suggestions. God won't

203
00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:51,559
Speaker 4: force you to do something. He won't override your will.

204
00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:55,280
Speaker 4: He'll suggest it. Hey, give the five bucks. It's up

205
00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:58,680
Speaker 4: to us to do it. I've learned. The more you obey,

206
00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:02,440
Speaker 4: the easier it is to obey, The more sensitive you

207
00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:06,320
Speaker 4: are to his voice, the more you respond. The easier

208
00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:09,600
Speaker 4: it is to respond, you'll get to the place where

209
00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:14,080
Speaker 4: you're guided by these promptings. You take the suggestions, you

210
00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:16,559
Speaker 4: pull back when you feel in an arm. That's how

211
00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:20,680
Speaker 4: the Holy Spirit leads us. And Paul talked about being

212
00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:25,200
Speaker 4: a vessel used for God's highest purposes. God is looking

213
00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:28,440
Speaker 4: for people that he can count on, People that at

214
00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:34,079
Speaker 4: the slightest impression, the smallest suggestion, they move. God says,

215
00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:37,120
Speaker 4: go here, they go. Bless this person, They bless them.

216
00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:41,360
Speaker 4: Change in this area. They change. They don't argue, they

217
00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:46,160
Speaker 4: don't make excuses, they're not too busy. They just obey.

218
00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:50,000
Speaker 4: Psalm twenty five says the secret of the Lord is

219
00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:53,640
Speaker 4: with them that fear him. When you honor God, he

220
00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:57,280
Speaker 4: will tell you secrets. He will whisper things in your

221
00:12:57,360 --> 00:13:01,720
Speaker 4: inner ear, give you insight that you otherwise wouldn't have known.

222
00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:04,480
Speaker 4: You don't know how you know it. You can't explain it,

223
00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:08,600
Speaker 4: you just know it. Sometimes we hear about people getting

224
00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:12,880
Speaker 4: into trouble for insider trading. That means somebody on the

225
00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:16,680
Speaker 4: inside of the company is giving information to somebody on

226
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:19,720
Speaker 4: the outside that's going to affect the price of the stock.

227
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:23,120
Speaker 4: That way, they can sell off or buy more. They

228
00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:28,439
Speaker 4: have an advantage because they have inside information. That's what

229
00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:31,720
Speaker 4: God does for us. He knows where the good breaks are.

230
00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:35,840
Speaker 4: He knows how to propel you years ahead. If you'll

231
00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:39,720
Speaker 4: be sensitive to that voice, God will give the inside information.

232
00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:42,800
Speaker 4: You'll know things that you shouldn't have known that will

233
00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:46,640
Speaker 4: propel you towards your destiny. A couple of years after

234
00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:49,760
Speaker 4: Victoria and I were married, we sold our town home

235
00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:53,320
Speaker 4: and were looking to buy a house. We found several

236
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:56,240
Speaker 4: nice houses. We really liked them, but it didn't work out.

237
00:13:57,000 --> 00:14:01,840
Speaker 4: We came to this one, very rundown old house. Windows

238
00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:05,840
Speaker 4: were broken out, water dripping from the ceiling, foundation was

239
00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:09,200
Speaker 4: all missed up. The house was in very bad shape,

240
00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:12,280
Speaker 4: but it was in a nice neighborhood on a large

241
00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:15,240
Speaker 4: piece of property. Victoria and I looked at each other

242
00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:18,040
Speaker 4: and said, this is it. This is the house for us.

243
00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:21,720
Speaker 4: We had just moved out of a beautiful town home

244
00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:27,200
Speaker 4: in the natural. It didn't make sense. Everything logically speaking

245
00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:30,680
Speaker 4: said this is going in the wrong direction. You're making

246
00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:34,640
Speaker 4: a big mistake. But in our inner ear, down in here,

247
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:39,000
Speaker 4: something was whispering, this is for you. We purchased the property.

248
00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:42,600
Speaker 4: What no one knew was the neighborhood was about to

249
00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:46,640
Speaker 4: change the deed restrictions where you could subdivide the lots.

250
00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:50,840
Speaker 4: Two years later we sold half of the property for

251
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:54,120
Speaker 4: more than we paid for the whole property. That was

252
00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:59,840
Speaker 4: God whispering secrets in our ear. Don't ignore what you're hearing.

253
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:03,840
Speaker 4: The inside may not seem logical, but God can see

254
00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:07,800
Speaker 4: things that you cannot see. He knows where the advantages are.

255
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:11,480
Speaker 4: He knows how to accelerate your dreams, how to make

256
00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:14,640
Speaker 4: things happen quicker than you thought. I talked to a

257
00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:17,680
Speaker 4: gentleman recently, and he had applied for a job at

258
00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:21,680
Speaker 4: this large company, and the interview went well. They really

259
00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:25,240
Speaker 4: liked the man, but they told him the position wasn't

260
00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:28,200
Speaker 4: going to be available for at least six months. They

261
00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:30,960
Speaker 4: weren't going to make a decision on who to hire

262
00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:33,240
Speaker 4: for some time, and when they did, they had let

263
00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:37,000
Speaker 4: him know. About a month later. He woke up one

264
00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:40,920
Speaker 4: morning and something said to him, so strongly, you need

265
00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:44,560
Speaker 4: to call the company and check on the position. They

266
00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:46,920
Speaker 4: had just told him that it would be six months.

267
00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:50,640
Speaker 4: He didn't want to seem overly anxious or do anything

268
00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:53,280
Speaker 4: that might put them off, but he couldn't get away

269
00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:56,320
Speaker 4: from it. That afternoon. Finally he picked up the phone

270
00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:59,960
Speaker 4: and called the men. Said, I can't believe you'll call it.

271
00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:03,760
Speaker 4: The position is not supposed to open up till next year,

272
00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:08,240
Speaker 4: but earlier this morning we had a meeting and decided

273
00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:11,000
Speaker 4: to fill it right now. He asked the man, can

274
00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:14,600
Speaker 4: you start next week? Friends, God knows it all. We

275
00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:20,400
Speaker 4: have inside information. Don't ignore those promptings. That's God whispering

276
00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:24,320
Speaker 4: secrets in your ear. If you'll just obey, God will

277
00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:27,280
Speaker 4: give you an advantage. He'll make things happen that you

278
00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:30,800
Speaker 4: could never make happen. In the scripture, there was a

279
00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:34,560
Speaker 4: man named Naeman. He was a captain in the Syrian army,

280
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:38,760
Speaker 4: a very well respected and influential man, but he had

281
00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:43,640
Speaker 4: leprosy and incurable disease. A young maid that worked for

282
00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:47,560
Speaker 4: him told him that if you'll go see the prophet

283
00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:51,560
Speaker 4: Elisha in Israel, Elisha will pray for you and you'll

284
00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:55,680
Speaker 4: be healed. Naeman took the young lady's advice, traveled a

285
00:16:55,720 --> 00:17:00,680
Speaker 4: great distance showed up at Elisha's house, but Elisha didn't

286
00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:03,160
Speaker 4: go out to meet him at the door. He didn't

287
00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:07,360
Speaker 4: go pray over him. Elisha told his assistant to go

288
00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:11,040
Speaker 4: tell Naeman, if he will wash in the Jordan river

289
00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:13,199
Speaker 4: seven times, he'll be healed.

290
00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:14,280
Speaker 2: Well.

291
00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:18,960
Speaker 4: Naemun was offended. He thought, does he know who I am?

292
00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:22,119
Speaker 4: Does he know how far I've traveled? And if I

293
00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:23,920
Speaker 4: need to wash in a river, it's not going to

294
00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:27,360
Speaker 4: be the Jordan River. That's dirty. We have much cleaner

295
00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:31,440
Speaker 4: rivers back at home. He came up with all these excuses.

296
00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:35,639
Speaker 4: That doesn't make sense. That's not logical. God is not

297
00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:38,680
Speaker 4: going to explain everything that he asked us to do.

298
00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:41,919
Speaker 4: This is what faith is all about. You just have

299
00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:46,560
Speaker 4: to trust him. Naeman almost missed his miracle. He turned

300
00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:49,480
Speaker 4: around and was about to go back home until his

301
00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:52,919
Speaker 4: assistant said, Naeman, if he would have asked you to

302
00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:55,560
Speaker 4: do something hard, you would have done it. Why don't

303
00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:59,080
Speaker 4: you do this small thing? Naeman said, well, I thought

304
00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:02,119
Speaker 4: Elisha would come out and wave his hand over me

305
00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:06,359
Speaker 4: and like magic, make me whole. He had a preconceived

306
00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:09,560
Speaker 4: idea of how God was going to do it. You

307
00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:12,680
Speaker 4: can't put God in a box. He may not bring

308
00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:15,720
Speaker 4: your dream to pass the way you're thinking. He may

309
00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:20,000
Speaker 4: not turn the problem around in a traditional manner. God's

310
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:22,840
Speaker 4: ways are not our ways. They are better than our ways.

311
00:18:23,040 --> 00:18:27,440
Speaker 4: Stay open and let God do it his way. Nahemon

312
00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:31,119
Speaker 4: didn't want to do a small thing, but I've learned

313
00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:36,000
Speaker 4: small acts of obedience lead to big blessings. It's not

314
00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:40,719
Speaker 4: necessarily what you're doing. It's the obedience that activates God's power.

315
00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:44,800
Speaker 4: When you obey in small things, when it doesn't seem

316
00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:48,480
Speaker 4: like it matters, when nobody's watching, when you don't feel

317
00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:52,080
Speaker 4: like it, but you keep doing the right thing. You're faithful.

318
00:18:52,359 --> 00:18:56,800
Speaker 4: You're a person of excellence. Obedience in the small leads

319
00:18:56,840 --> 00:19:01,800
Speaker 4: to God's blessings in great ways. This assistant talk naming

320
00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:04,400
Speaker 4: in to going down and washing in the Jordan river,

321
00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:07,960
Speaker 4: and I can imagine when nam And got in, he thought,

322
00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:12,919
Speaker 4: this is dirty, it stinks. I don't like it. Everything

323
00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:16,600
Speaker 4: in his mind was saying, you're wasting your time. This

324
00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:20,240
Speaker 4: is not making any difference. If you allow it, your

325
00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:23,800
Speaker 4: mind can talk you out of your miracle. Negative thoughts

326
00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:27,240
Speaker 4: can keep us from God's best. Naim And dip down

327
00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:29,240
Speaker 4: in the water. The first time he came up, he

328
00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:33,359
Speaker 4: checked his skin. Nothing had changed. Dip down the second time, nothing,

329
00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:37,280
Speaker 4: third time nothing, fourth time nothing. I'm sure, he thought.

330
00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:40,560
Speaker 4: If this was going to work. I'd be getting better

331
00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:43,679
Speaker 4: by now. I've done the right thing four times in

332
00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:46,800
Speaker 4: a row. I've done exactly what that prophet said, and

333
00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:50,520
Speaker 4: I'm not any better. He was discouraged, felt like going

334
00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:53,400
Speaker 4: back home again. He thought, you know what come this far,

335
00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:56,720
Speaker 4: might as well finish it out. Dip down the fifth time, nothing,

336
00:19:57,080 --> 00:20:02,240
Speaker 4: sixth time. Nothing. What's interesting is Naeman didn't have the

337
00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:05,280
Speaker 4: faith that it was going to happen. He didn't believe

338
00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:08,399
Speaker 4: he is going to get well. He wasn't singing praises,

339
00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:11,880
Speaker 4: thanking God that the answer was coming. He was complaining

340
00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:16,080
Speaker 4: negative sour, going to tell his maid, You're not getting

341
00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:18,480
Speaker 4: of raised this time. Some prophets you sent me to

342
00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:22,800
Speaker 4: He dipped down that seventh time. When he came up,

343
00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:26,760
Speaker 4: his skin was perfectly normal, looked like a baby's skin.

344
00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:31,920
Speaker 4: Here's my point. The healing wasn't in the water, or

345
00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:34,600
Speaker 4: he would have been healed the first time. The healing

346
00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:38,960
Speaker 4: was in the obedience. Could it be that your healing

347
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:43,760
Speaker 4: will come when you obey your promotion, Your breakthrough, the

348
00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:48,640
Speaker 4: restoration will come if you'll just keep doing the right thing. Well, Joel,

349
00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:51,440
Speaker 4: I'm being my best, I'm honoring God. I don't see

350
00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:55,800
Speaker 4: anything happening. Don't worry. Your time is coming. You may

351
00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:59,400
Speaker 4: be on number four, number five, The good news number

352
00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:04,000
Speaker 4: seven is on the way. God rewards obedience. Your healing

353
00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:08,639
Speaker 4: is coming, The right people are coming, new opportunities are coming.

354
00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:13,480
Speaker 4: Freedom is coming. Keep being obedient, stay on that high road.

355
00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:17,800
Speaker 4: It may be uncomfortable, it may not be fair, but

356
00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:22,040
Speaker 4: God is in complete control. He's a rewarder of those

357
00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:22,800
Speaker 4: that honor him.

358
00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:23,760
Speaker 3: Now.

359
00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:28,679
Speaker 4: I love the fact that Nyelman's obedience overrode the fact

360
00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:32,040
Speaker 4: that he didn't have the faith. This is how powerful

361
00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:36,280
Speaker 4: obedience is. There are times in our life that we

362
00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:39,000
Speaker 4: don't feel like we have the faith we need. We

363
00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:41,400
Speaker 4: want to believe, but we don't see how we could

364
00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:44,400
Speaker 4: get well, how we could accomplish a dream, how our

365
00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:48,199
Speaker 4: future is going to be bright. Here's the key. Until

366
00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:52,480
Speaker 4: your faith grows, just keep being obedient, doing what you

367
00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:57,040
Speaker 4: know to do, following that still small voice. Your obedience

368
00:21:57,400 --> 00:21:59,960
Speaker 4: will override the fact that you don't have enough faith.

369
00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:04,320
Speaker 4: I can't prove it, but I believe that Naeman got healed.

370
00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:08,680
Speaker 4: While he was complaining, I don't like this water. It's dirty,

371
00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:11,320
Speaker 4: it smells bad. He came up the seventh time I

372
00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:14,080
Speaker 4: told you it wasn't gonna work. Looked at his arms,

373
00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:18,600
Speaker 4: couldn't believe it. He went from complaining to giving praise.

374
00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:22,000
Speaker 4: He said, now I know the God of Israel is

375
00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:28,000
Speaker 4: the true and the living God, and I'm not for complaining, talking, defeat,

376
00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:31,160
Speaker 4: being negative. There are examples where that keeps people out

377
00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:35,840
Speaker 4: of their promised land, But in this case, obedience overrode

378
00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:40,399
Speaker 4: all that. Like Na'aemen, when you face situations you don't

379
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:43,840
Speaker 4: like and you don't understand it, the odds are against you.

380
00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:47,920
Speaker 4: If you'll just keep doing the right thing, your breakthrough

381
00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:52,320
Speaker 4: is on the way. When you obey, miracles happen, healing

382
00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:56,760
Speaker 4: is released, new doors will open. See every time you obey,

383
00:22:57,080 --> 00:23:01,760
Speaker 4: you're sowing a seed when it's difficult, you're uncomfortable, you

384
00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:04,119
Speaker 4: don't feel like it, but you do it anyway. You

385
00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:08,800
Speaker 4: were sowing an extraordinary seed. That means you're going to

386
00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:13,359
Speaker 4: reap an extraordinary harvest. God will never ask you to

387
00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:16,479
Speaker 4: do something and then not give you the power to

388
00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:19,560
Speaker 4: do it. When he asked you to walk away from

389
00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:22,760
Speaker 4: a friend that's pulling you down, or to get rid

390
00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:25,080
Speaker 4: of a habit that you know is ruining your health.

391
00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:28,720
Speaker 4: He's not trying to take something from you. He's trying

392
00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:32,080
Speaker 4: to get something better to you. If you will just obey,

393
00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:34,919
Speaker 4: you'll come up to a new level of your destiny.

394
00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:38,639
Speaker 4: Growing up, we knew this man that loved to play

395
00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:43,680
Speaker 4: the piano. He was very talented, but he had rheumatoid arthritis.

396
00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:47,000
Speaker 4: Over the years, it kept getting worse and worse, and

397
00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:49,840
Speaker 4: he came to the point where his fingers were all

398
00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:53,160
Speaker 4: bent over like a fist. He couldn't open them up.

399
00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:57,840
Speaker 4: His joints were swollen, very painful, and obviously he couldn't

400
00:23:58,080 --> 00:24:01,560
Speaker 4: play the piano anymore. And one day he heard my

401
00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:06,119
Speaker 4: father talking about the importance of forgiveness, how we should

402
00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:09,199
Speaker 4: let things go, and how when we carry bitterness and

403
00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:13,240
Speaker 4: hold a grudge, it poisons our life. He felt convicted.

404
00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:16,719
Speaker 4: He had held something against his parents for many years.

405
00:24:17,320 --> 00:24:20,120
Speaker 4: He felt like they had done him wrong, and he'd

406
00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:23,720
Speaker 4: carried around this bitterness year after year. He knew to

407
00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:27,000
Speaker 4: let it go. He'd heard the still small voice saying, hey,

408
00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:29,560
Speaker 4: move on with your life, but he wouldn't do it.

409
00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:32,880
Speaker 4: But that day, when he heard my father, he made

410
00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:35,560
Speaker 4: a decision that he was going to forgive his parents.

411
00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:38,719
Speaker 4: He didn't feel like doing it, he didn't think they

412
00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:42,480
Speaker 4: deserved it, but out of an act of obedience, he

413
00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:46,879
Speaker 4: let it go. Over the next few months, little by little,

414
00:24:47,320 --> 00:24:51,320
Speaker 4: his fingers started opening up, the swellings started going down,

415
00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:55,120
Speaker 4: the pain started subsiding. A year later, he could sit

416
00:24:55,200 --> 00:24:57,920
Speaker 4: down and play the piano like he had never missed

417
00:24:57,920 --> 00:25:02,440
Speaker 4: a beat. The healing was in the obedience. He sold

418
00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:07,959
Speaker 4: an extraordinary seed forgiven somebody that hurt him, He reaped

419
00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:13,199
Speaker 4: an extraordinary harvest. His health was restored. Is there something

420
00:25:13,440 --> 00:25:16,760
Speaker 4: you've been putting off you know you should do? Maybe

421
00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:18,960
Speaker 4: like him, you feel like you have a great right

422
00:25:19,320 --> 00:25:21,960
Speaker 4: to hold a grudge, to be angry they did you wrong.

423
00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:25,119
Speaker 4: All that's going to do is poison your own life,

424
00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:29,840
Speaker 4: affect your dreams, affect your health. You have to forgive

425
00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:34,480
Speaker 4: so you can be free. Forgive so your healing will

426
00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:38,919
Speaker 4: be released. Not just physically, but when you let it go,

427
00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:42,480
Speaker 4: God can make you emotionally whole. That's when he'll give

428
00:25:42,520 --> 00:25:46,960
Speaker 4: you beauty for ashes. You'll start loving again, start laughing again,

429
00:25:47,040 --> 00:25:50,719
Speaker 4: start dreaming again. Now, I know faith gets God's attention,

430
00:25:51,359 --> 00:25:56,119
Speaker 4: but obedience activates God's power. You can have great faith,

431
00:25:56,400 --> 00:25:59,360
Speaker 4: but if you're ignoring the still small voice. If you're

432
00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:01,880
Speaker 4: override what you know God wants you to deal with,

433
00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:05,760
Speaker 4: it can keep you from your miracle. And sometimes God

434
00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:08,720
Speaker 4: asked us to do a hard thing. God told Abraham

435
00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:11,960
Speaker 4: to take his son Isaac. This was the son that

436
00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:15,919
Speaker 4: Abraham and Sarah had waited twenty years to have. They

437
00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:19,440
Speaker 4: had prayed and believed. Now finally little Isaac is here.

438
00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:23,239
Speaker 4: Abraham was to take Isaac up on a mountain and

439
00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:27,400
Speaker 4: sacrifice him. They took a three day journey, went way

440
00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:30,960
Speaker 4: up on this mountain, but just when Abraham was about

441
00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:34,800
Speaker 4: to follow through, God said, Abraham, don't do it. I

442
00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:37,760
Speaker 4: just wanted to see if you would be obedient. When

443
00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:42,240
Speaker 4: it was extremely difficult, Abraham looked over and saw a

444
00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:44,919
Speaker 4: ram caught in the bush, and he knew that was

445
00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:49,879
Speaker 4: the sacrifice. What's interesting is rams don't normally go that

446
00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:52,960
Speaker 4: high up in the mountain. That's not natural to them.

447
00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:56,320
Speaker 4: But when you do what God's asking you to do,

448
00:26:56,960 --> 00:27:01,119
Speaker 4: every step you take in obedience is taking a step

449
00:27:01,119 --> 00:27:04,720
Speaker 4: towards you. You may not be able to see it, Joel,

450
00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:07,480
Speaker 4: I'm doing the right thing. Doesn't look like anything's changing.

451
00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:11,040
Speaker 4: What you can't see is on the other side of

452
00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:15,040
Speaker 4: the mountain. Your healing, your provision, your abundance, your breakthrough

453
00:27:15,359 --> 00:27:19,160
Speaker 4: is making its way towards you. Like with Abraham, We're

454
00:27:19,160 --> 00:27:22,960
Speaker 4: not gonna understand. Everything God asks us to do may

455
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:26,159
Speaker 4: be difficult. It's hard to forgive someone that hurts you.

456
00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:28,919
Speaker 4: It's hard to keep a good attitude when the medical

457
00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:33,240
Speaker 4: report is negative. But if you'll sow this extraordinary seed

458
00:27:33,480 --> 00:27:36,480
Speaker 4: and be obedient, then get ready. You're going to see

459
