He was a huge football fan. 33 00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:49,600 Speaker 4: He bought two tickets to the Super Bowl months ahead 34 00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:52,440 Speaker 4: of time, not realizing it was going to be on 35 00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:56,760 Speaker 4: the same day as his wedding. He paid two thousand 36 00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:59,920 Speaker 4: dollars each for the tickets, so he put an ad 37 00:01:59,880 --> 00:02:03,440 Speaker 4: on Facebook asking if anyone would like to go in 38 00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:06,640 Speaker 4: his place. He said, it will be at three o'clock 39 00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:11,240 Speaker 4: at First Baptist Church and her name is Tiffany. Say 40 00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:14,200 Speaker 4: it like you mean it. This is my Bible. I 41 00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:16,640 Speaker 4: am what it says I am. I have what it 42 00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:19,120 Speaker 4: says I have. I can do what it says I 43 00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:22,359 Speaker 4: can do. Today I will be taught the word of God. 44 00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:27,240 Speaker 4: I boldly confess my mind is alert, my heart is receptive. 45 00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:31,240 Speaker 4: I will never be the same. In Jesus' name, God 46 00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:34,880 Speaker 4: bless you. I want to talk to you today about 47 00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:39,600 Speaker 4: the God who goes before you. We all face situations 48 00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:42,880 Speaker 4: where we don't see a way out. The obstacles look 49 00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:46,800 Speaker 4: too big. We've had the problem so long, our dream 50 00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:51,520 Speaker 4: seems impossible. This is the way the Israelites felt they 51 00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:55,080 Speaker 4: were headed toward the Promised Land. They had all kinds 52 00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:59,120 Speaker 4: of people coming against them, and opposition from every direction. 53 00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:06,000 Speaker 4: He felt overwhelmed, outnumbered, inadequate in the natural. They didn't 54 00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:09,760 Speaker 4: have a chance. But God said to them in Isaiah, 55 00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:14,280 Speaker 4: I will go before you and level the mountains. I 56 00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:18,639 Speaker 4: will break down gates of bronze and cut through bars 57 00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:22,640 Speaker 4: of iron, so that you will know I am the Lord, 58 00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:26,840 Speaker 4: your God, the one who summons you by name. You 59 00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:31,440 Speaker 4: may have big obstacles in your path, situations in your health, 60 00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:35,600 Speaker 4: your finances, or relationship. You don't see how it could 61 00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:39,560 Speaker 4: work out. The odds are against you. But God is 62 00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:43,000 Speaker 4: saying to you what he said to them. I'm going 63 00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:48,040 Speaker 4: to go before you and level those mountains. Whatever's trying 64 00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:52,240 Speaker 4: to stop you. A mountain of sickness, a mountain of addictions, 65 00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:56,320 Speaker 4: a mountain of depression. It may look insurmountable to you, 66 00:03:56,920 --> 00:04:00,400 Speaker 4: but it is no match for our God. Touch of 67 00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:05,160 Speaker 4: his favor, he'll turn that mountain into level ground. That 68 00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:09,320 Speaker 4: means you won't even have to climb over it. It's going 69 00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:12,160 Speaker 4: to be easier than you think. You're not going to 70 00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:16,440 Speaker 4: have to struggle, work, worry, fight, God's going to smooth 71 00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:20,120 Speaker 4: it all out. It may be a mountain now, it 72 00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:24,040 Speaker 4: may look intimidating, but don't worry. It's about to become 73 00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:28,200 Speaker 4: level ground. And in the scripture, the words used for 74 00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:32,920 Speaker 4: God's power in the original language is deunamus. That's where 75 00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:36,600 Speaker 4: we get our word dynamite. You know what dynamite does. 76 00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:41,240 Speaker 4: It brings down buildings, clears out anything that's in its path. 77 00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:46,080 Speaker 4: Those obstacles in your life, those mountains that have been 78 00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:49,480 Speaker 4: holding you back. I can see right now God putting 79 00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:53,120 Speaker 4: the dynamite in. He's about to light that fuse. You've 80 00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:58,719 Speaker 4: been faithful, you've given, you've served. Get ready for some explosions. 81 00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:03,320 Speaker 4: God's about to levelsome things and explosion of good breaks, 82 00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:09,520 Speaker 4: an explosion of healing, and explosion of freedom. Those obstacles 83 00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:12,760 Speaker 4: that have held you back are about to be blown away. 84 00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:17,279 Speaker 4: God says he will level your mountains, not make a 85 00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:21,000 Speaker 4: tunnel through them, not make a path around them, not 86 00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:24,279 Speaker 4: even give you the strength to go over them. God 87 00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:29,240 Speaker 4: is going to do something unprecedented, something out of the ordinary. 88 00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:32,960 Speaker 4: The scripture says, so you will know he is the 89 00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:36,200 Speaker 4: Lord your God. God wants you to know that he 90 00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:40,440 Speaker 4: is all powerful. He's going to do some things in 91 00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:43,880 Speaker 4: your life where you have no doubt that was the 92 00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:47,120 Speaker 4: hand of God. You will not only know, but the 93 00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:51,000 Speaker 4: people around you are going to know. When God parted 94 00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:54,679 Speaker 4: the Red Sea and the Israelites went through on dry ground, 95 00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:57,919 Speaker 4: Pharaoh and all of his men knew that was the 96 00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:02,520 Speaker 4: Lord their Godarus was raised from the dead. Everywhere he 97 00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:05,760 Speaker 4: went people stood in awe of the Lord his God. 98 00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:10,320 Speaker 4: God wants to give you some evidence, something that can't 99 00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:14,119 Speaker 4: be disputed. You couldn't have made it happen. You didn't 100 00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:18,000 Speaker 4: have the talent. The medical report said you shouldn't be here, 101 00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:20,960 Speaker 4: or maybe all your relatives are addicted. You should be 102 00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:24,599 Speaker 4: the same way. But the Lord your God summons you 103 00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:28,800 Speaker 4: by name. He went ahead of you and leveled those mountains. 104 00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:33,520 Speaker 4: Now everyone can look at you and see the blessing 105 00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:36,880 Speaker 4: of God on your life. God wants to make you 106 00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:41,240 Speaker 4: an example of his goodness. You may have seen his 107 00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:44,920 Speaker 4: favor in the past, but you haven't seen anything yet. 108 00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:49,880 Speaker 4: God has some explosive blessings that are going to catafault 109 00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:54,000 Speaker 4: you to the next level. And it's good to remember 110 00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:57,720 Speaker 4: the great things God has done. But God doesn't want 111 00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:02,279 Speaker 4: you to live on past victory, always talking about what 112 00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:05,520 Speaker 4: happened when I was growing up, what happened thirty years ago. 113 00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:09,200 Speaker 4: That's fine, But God's about to give you something new 114 00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:12,200 Speaker 4: to talk about. He's about to give you some fresh victories. 115 00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:18,240 Speaker 4: Isaiah said, God will break down the gates of bronze 116 00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:22,760 Speaker 4: and cut through bars of iron. That means things that 117 00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:28,720 Speaker 4: have held you back for years. Addictions, lack, depression, insecurity. 118 00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:33,200 Speaker 4: This may be in your family line for generations. Looks 119 00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:36,160 Speaker 4: like that's your lot in life. Thoughts will tell you 120 00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:39,680 Speaker 4: just accept it. That's who you are. God is saying, 121 00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:44,240 Speaker 4: I'm about to break some generational curses. I'm about to 122 00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:48,720 Speaker 4: put an end to what's held you back. That depression 123 00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:53,320 Speaker 4: is not staying in your family line, That addiction is 124 00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:56,720 Speaker 4: not going to be passed to the next generation. That 125 00:07:56,880 --> 00:08:01,000 Speaker 4: struggle in lack is not your destiny. This is a 126 00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:05,480 Speaker 4: new day. The God who spoke worlds into existence, is 127 00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:11,200 Speaker 4: breaking chains, chains of defeat, chains of mediocrity, chains of depression. 128 00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:14,880 Speaker 4: It's not going to be the way it used to be. 129 00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:19,200 Speaker 4: You're stepping into a new season. You're going to have 130 00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:22,160 Speaker 4: a strength that you didn't have. Things are going to 131 00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:25,080 Speaker 4: fall into place, You're not going to have to fight. 132 00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:28,960 Speaker 4: God is cutting through the bars of iron. That means 133 00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:32,920 Speaker 4: he's going to make things happen that you couldn't make happen. 134 00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:35,800 Speaker 4: You didn't have the talent to do it on your own. 135 00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:39,720 Speaker 4: You didn't have the connections. The odds were against you. 136 00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:43,920 Speaker 4: But it's suddenly going to turn around. You're suddenly going 137 00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:47,040 Speaker 4: to step into a new level. You're suddenly going to 138 00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:50,720 Speaker 4: break that addiction. How could this be? The God who 139 00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:54,680 Speaker 4: goes before you is breaking the chains, cutting through bars 140 00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:58,840 Speaker 4: of iron. I talked to a gentleman last week. He 141 00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:02,680 Speaker 4: had been an alcohol for thirty years. This is all 142 00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:05,760 Speaker 4: he had known growing up. He watched his father and 143 00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:10,040 Speaker 4: grandfather struggle with alcohol. It looked like this addiction would 144 00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:14,000 Speaker 4: keep getting passed from generation to generation. He had tried 145 00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:17,000 Speaker 4: to stop but wasn't able to, and now he was 146 00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:22,600 Speaker 4: accepting it. One day he was so miserable, he said, God, 147 00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:26,880 Speaker 4: I can't do this anymore. Please send somebody to help me. 148 00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:33,000 Speaker 4: He specifically prayed, God send me a counselor. Just so happened, 149 00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:37,079 Speaker 4: he flipped on our serious XM channel. He would listen 150 00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:41,200 Speaker 4: for hours and hours every day. He said, with tears 151 00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:45,160 Speaker 4: running down his cheeks, Joel, you became my counselor. You 152 00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:48,240 Speaker 4: were the answer to my prayer for the first time 153 00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:51,960 Speaker 4: in thirty years. He's been sober for eight months. He 154 00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:55,200 Speaker 4: couldn't do it on his own, but God broke the chains. 155 00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:59,679 Speaker 4: God cut through the bars of ironland. There may be 156 00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:02,280 Speaker 4: things that have held you back for a long time. 157 00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:05,800 Speaker 4: Every voice tells JA it's never going to change. You're 158 00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:09,320 Speaker 4: never going to break it, never get well, never meet 159 00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:12,559 Speaker 4: the right person, never get out of debt on your own. 160 00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:16,120 Speaker 4: That may be true. The good news, though you're not 161 00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:19,920 Speaker 4: on your own. The most High God is going before you. 162 00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:24,000 Speaker 4: He's going to break the change. And it may not 163 00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:27,400 Speaker 4: have happened yet, but don't worry. Your time is coming. 164 00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:31,840 Speaker 4: This is your year of yes. Yes to break the addiction, 165 00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:35,600 Speaker 4: Yes to healing, Yes to meeting the right people, Yes 166 00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:40,319 Speaker 4: to seeing new doors open. Joshua twenty four. The Israelites 167 00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:43,640 Speaker 4: were up against seven nations that were bigger and stronger. 168 00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:48,199 Speaker 4: They had more equipment, more training. The Israelites on their 169 00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:52,080 Speaker 4: own didn't have a chance. They could have retreated and thought, hey, 170 00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:55,120 Speaker 4: it's not meant to be. We'll never take this land. 171 00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:59,440 Speaker 4: There was no way in the natural. But God's ways 172 00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:03,079 Speaker 4: are not our ways. He said to them in verse twelve, 173 00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:07,280 Speaker 4: I will send hornets ahead of you to drive out 174 00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:10,400 Speaker 4: the inhabitants. You won't have to do it with your 175 00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:14,360 Speaker 4: own sword and shield. I will give you the land 176 00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:18,440 Speaker 4: that you didn't work for, and cities that you didn't build. 177 00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:23,479 Speaker 4: How did God get rid of these seven powerful nations? 178 00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:27,640 Speaker 4: Did he send in tanks navy seals? Did he call 179 00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:30,760 Speaker 4: down angels from heaven, Gabriel go take care of them. No, 180 00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:36,079 Speaker 4: he sent an insect. He sent hornets ahead of them 181 00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:39,320 Speaker 4: so they didn't have to fight. You may not see 182 00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:42,880 Speaker 4: how your situation could ever work out, but don't worry. 183 00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:46,679 Speaker 4: God has plenty of insects. He has ways to do 184 00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:49,920 Speaker 4: it that you've never thought of. He may not do 185 00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:54,560 Speaker 4: it a traditional manner. Quit trying to figure everything out 186 00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:58,679 Speaker 4: and trust him. He's in control of your life. He 187 00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:01,440 Speaker 4: knows how to get you to where you're supposed to be. 188 00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:05,800 Speaker 4: The Israelites could have reasoned it out, thought God, they 189 00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:09,840 Speaker 4: have the latest equipment, they have chariots, they're trained soldiers. 190 00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:13,480 Speaker 4: We're former slaves. We don't have a chance. This is 191 00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:17,440 Speaker 4: not our field. God said, don't worry, you're not going 192 00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:21,000 Speaker 4: to have to fight. I'm going ahead of you. I'm 193 00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:24,720 Speaker 4: going to level your mountains. God is saying the same 194 00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:28,520 Speaker 4: thing to you. Put down your shields, put down your swords. 195 00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:31,600 Speaker 4: You're not going to have to worry, struggle trying to 196 00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:34,920 Speaker 4: force it to happen. God is going ahead of you. 197 00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:38,319 Speaker 4: He is going to drive out the inhabitants that are 198 00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:43,400 Speaker 4: on your land. That means whatever's keeping you from your health, 199 00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:49,200 Speaker 4: your joy, your abundance, your victory, that's your land. That's 200 00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:53,439 Speaker 4: what God promised you. I believe right now he's beginning 201 00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:56,280 Speaker 4: to drive them out. You're going to come in to 202 00:12:56,400 --> 00:13:00,480 Speaker 4: your land of health and wholeness. God is dry out 203 00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:04,839 Speaker 4: sickness and disease. You'll coming into your land of increase 204 00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:09,719 Speaker 4: and promotion. He's driving out struggle and lack. You're going 205 00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:13,840 Speaker 4: to come into your land of unprecedented favor, where God 206 00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:16,280 Speaker 4: takes you where you could not go on your own. 207 00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:20,800 Speaker 4: If God showed you all he had in store, you 208 00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:23,280 Speaker 4: would think, Oh, that's not for me. God, you've got 209 00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:26,080 Speaker 4: the wrong person. I don't have the training, the experience, 210 00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:29,720 Speaker 4: the talent. You may not, but the God who goes 211 00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:32,640 Speaker 4: before you is going to give you land that you 212 00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:37,080 Speaker 4: didn't work for, cities that you didn't build. The Houston 213 00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:41,960 Speaker 4: Rockets basketball team played in this facility for nearly thirty years. 214 00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:46,000 Speaker 4: Nineteen ninety nine, they wanted to move out and build 215 00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:49,120 Speaker 4: a new arena. The citizens were going to have to 216 00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:52,240 Speaker 4: pay for most of the construction, so they had to 217 00:13:52,280 --> 00:13:55,920 Speaker 4: put it up for vote. The citizens voted no, they 218 00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:59,400 Speaker 4: didn't want to pay, the Rockets couldn't move out. A 219 00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:01,440 Speaker 4: year and a half later, it was put on the 220 00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:06,360 Speaker 4: ballot again. This time the citizens voted yes. The Rockets 221 00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:08,920 Speaker 4: were cleared to move and they built the new arena. 222 00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:12,960 Speaker 4: What's interesting is if the vote would have passed the 223 00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:17,360 Speaker 4: first time, Lakewood wouldn't have been ready for this facility. 224 00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:21,479 Speaker 4: My father had just died, we were working through changes, 225 00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:24,160 Speaker 4: trying to keep everything going and not sure what was 226 00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:28,760 Speaker 4: going to happen. I believe God put the building on hold, 227 00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:32,160 Speaker 4: caused it to not pass because he knew it was 228 00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:34,800 Speaker 4: supposed to be ours. We weren't ready for it yet. 229 00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:39,880 Speaker 4: If it had gone through the first time, most likely 230 00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:42,520 Speaker 4: it would have been sold to a developer and we 231 00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:45,480 Speaker 4: wouldn't be here. But a year and a half later, 232 00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:49,360 Speaker 4: after everything calmed down after my father's death, and we 233 00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:53,080 Speaker 4: saw incredible growth. It was like God said, all right, 234 00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:56,640 Speaker 4: let me drive the inhabitants out of your land. Let 235 00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:59,760 Speaker 4: me move the basketball team so I can give you 236 00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:04,280 Speaker 4: the arena that I've destined for you to have. God 237 00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:07,080 Speaker 4: gave us a facility that we didn't have to build. 238 00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:11,160 Speaker 4: This was more than we could imagine. We couldn't have 239 00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:14,880 Speaker 4: done it in our own strength. A professional basketball team. 240 00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:19,120 Speaker 4: They were bigger, stronger, more powerful. But God has the 241 00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:23,240 Speaker 4: final say what he has destined for you. No person 242 00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:29,000 Speaker 4: can stop, no organization, no group. He knows when the 243 00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:33,600 Speaker 4: right time is. If it hasn't happened yet, you didn't 244 00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:37,720 Speaker 4: miss your opportunity. God is holding what belongs to you, 245 00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:42,320 Speaker 4: whatever's on your land. When it's your time. It's no 246 00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:45,520 Speaker 4: match for our God. He knows how to move them away. 247 00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:48,600 Speaker 4: He will make things happen that you couldn't make happening. 248 00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:51,840 Speaker 4: I talked to a lady that has a son that's 249 00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:56,520 Speaker 4: in the military. He's stationed in Hawaii. They live in Tennessee, 250 00:15:56,680 --> 00:16:01,120 Speaker 4: and he started competing in different military events. He won 251 00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:05,280 Speaker 4: Soldier of the Year for his brigade. His parents were 252 00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:07,880 Speaker 4: so proud of him. They hadn't seen him in a 253 00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:12,640 Speaker 4: long time, and he kept winning these competitions. His mother 254 00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:15,440 Speaker 4: said to his father, I feel bad that he's over 255 00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:18,800 Speaker 4: there by himself and we can't be there to support him. 256 00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:21,600 Speaker 4: And his father said, well, the next time he competes, 257 00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:24,360 Speaker 4: get on a plane and go see him. She was 258 00:16:24,400 --> 00:16:28,120 Speaker 4: so excited she flew to Hawaii to surprise her son. 259 00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:32,200 Speaker 4: When she pulled up on the base, he couldn't believe 260 00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:35,760 Speaker 4: his eyes. He came running out, gave her a big hug, 261 00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:40,080 Speaker 4: had tears coming down his cheeks. He said, Mom, I 262 00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:42,960 Speaker 4: was out walking in the woods this morning, and I 263 00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:47,920 Speaker 4: prayed God, I need my family, Please make a way 264 00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:51,560 Speaker 4: that I could see them. This mother had already flown 265 00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:57,920 Speaker 4: ten hours from Tennessee. She had already landed before he prayed. 266 00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:02,720 Speaker 4: God said in Isaiah, before you call, I will answer you. 267 00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:09,639 Speaker 4: Before the words ever came out of his mouth. Days earlier, 268 00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:13,800 Speaker 4: God already had the answer on the way. That's the 269 00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:17,679 Speaker 4: God who goes before us things you haven't even prayed about. 270 00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:21,680 Speaker 4: He's already lined up the answer. My brother Paul was 271 00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:25,159 Speaker 4: in Haiti several years ago, right after the big earthquake, 272 00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:28,840 Speaker 4: and he and a team of surgeons were operating on 273 00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:33,119 Speaker 4: all the injured people. At one point, the main monitor 274 00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:37,080 Speaker 4: they were using during surgery to monitor the patient's vital 275 00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:41,320 Speaker 4: signs went out. Without that monitor, they couldn't do any 276 00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:44,640 Speaker 4: more surgeries. It was too dangerous. They looked all over 277 00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:48,960 Speaker 4: the little makeship hospital couldn't find another one. Paul and 278 00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:52,800 Speaker 4: the team made phone calls with no success. It looked 279 00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:56,720 Speaker 4: like it would be several days having a monitor flown 280 00:17:56,760 --> 00:18:00,320 Speaker 4: in from the United States. It was very frustrated to 281 00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:03,879 Speaker 4: have all the surgeons, the talent, the ability, but one 282 00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:07,639 Speaker 4: small thing was keeping them from helping so many people. 283 00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:12,959 Speaker 4: A few hours later, the hospital administrator came up a 284 00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:17,719 Speaker 4: local Haitian man carrying a brand new monitor still in 285 00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:22,080 Speaker 4: the box, the exact one that they needed. Paul and 286 00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:25,320 Speaker 4: the team were amazed that he would have that monitor. 287 00:18:26,280 --> 00:18:29,680 Speaker 4: Paul asked him where he got it. He explained how 288 00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:33,760 Speaker 4: two years earlier he had been at a hospital administrator's 289 00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:38,720 Speaker 4: conference in the United States. Everyone that attended had their 290 00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:43,119 Speaker 4: name entered into a contest for adoor prize. It just 291 00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:47,000 Speaker 4: so happened, out of several thousand people, he was chosen 292 00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:50,000 Speaker 4: for this monitor. He had no need for it at 293 00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:54,240 Speaker 4: the time. It was in storage. But God knows what 294 00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:58,320 Speaker 4: you're going to need in the future. He knows who 295 00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:01,879 Speaker 4: you're going to need in the future. The good news 296 00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:05,720 Speaker 4: is he's going ahead of you right now, lining up 297 00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:10,240 Speaker 4: the right people, the right supplies, the right opportunities. He 298 00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:15,280 Speaker 4: has solutions to problems you haven't had. Before you call, 299 00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:21,320 Speaker 4: he will answer. He's a strategic god. Nothing happens by accident. 300 00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:25,480 Speaker 4: He's already planned out your days from the end to 301 00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:29,120 Speaker 4: the beginning. He knows what you need today and what 302 00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:31,520 Speaker 4: you're going to need ten years from now. Why don't 303 00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:35,960 Speaker 4: you trust him? A young couple in Los Angeles were 304 00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:40,080 Speaker 4: moving out of their apartment complex. As they were going 305 00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:43,840 Speaker 4: down the elevator with their mattress, the elevator quit working. 306 00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:47,600 Speaker 4: They were stuck. They called the front desk and waited 307 00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:50,879 Speaker 4: and waited. An hour later, they were finally able to 308 00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:54,840 Speaker 4: get out, and they were carrying the mattress toward their truck. 309 00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:59,840 Speaker 4: They heard some commotion up above. They looked up and 310 00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:03,240 Speaker 4: a three year old boy was playing on the balcony 311 00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:07,520 Speaker 4: railing on the third story. Very dangerous. They tried to 312 00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:09,760 Speaker 4: get his attention to get him to go back in, 313 00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:13,840 Speaker 4: but he wouldn't listen. They were so alarmed they rushed 314 00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:17,760 Speaker 4: over with their mattress and put it underneath where the 315 00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:21,520 Speaker 4: boy was playing. In a few seconds, this little boy 316 00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:27,280 Speaker 4: fell off the third story balcony landed right in their mattress, unharmed. 317 00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:30,600 Speaker 4: He was autistic and couldn't hear what they were saying. 318 00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:35,480 Speaker 4: The scripture says, a sparrow doesn't fall to the ground 319 00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:38,840 Speaker 4: without God knowing about it, a little bird. How much 320 00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:43,960 Speaker 4: more is God concerned about you, about your family? You're 321 00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:48,479 Speaker 4: his most prized possession. Well, Joel, that's a lucky break 322 00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:52,040 Speaker 4: as some coincidence. No, that was the God who goes 323 00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:57,080 Speaker 4: before us causing things to fall into place. That elevator 324 00:20:57,280 --> 00:21:01,760 Speaker 4: not working properly, that was a divine and delay. That 325 00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:05,719 Speaker 4: was God causing it to malfunction to put those people 326 00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:09,320 Speaker 4: at the right place at the right time. You can 327 00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:12,880 Speaker 4: be assured God will be there to watch over you. 328 00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:17,760 Speaker 4: And your children. He'll even be there when you make mistakes, 329 00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:21,439 Speaker 4: when you get off course. He doesn't say I'll go 330 00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:25,360 Speaker 4: before you, I'll protect you, I'll level your mountains if 331 00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:28,480 Speaker 4: you perform perfectly. If you never get on that third 332 00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:33,760 Speaker 4: story balcony, do something foolish, God loves you unconditionally. He 333 00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:37,240 Speaker 4: knows we're going to make mistakes. In his great mercy, 334 00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:40,399 Speaker 4: he'll be right there to help you get back on course. 335 00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:44,439 Speaker 4: This is what happened with Jonah. God told him to 336 00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:48,480 Speaker 4: go to the city of Nineveh. He had clear instructions. 337 00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:51,919 Speaker 4: He knew exactly what he was supposed to do. But 338 00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:54,560 Speaker 4: Jonah didn't want to go to Nineveh. He went the 339 00:21:54,600 --> 00:22:00,680 Speaker 4: opposite direction. God said, go left. He went right. God 340 00:22:00,720 --> 00:22:03,760 Speaker 4: would say, all right, Jonah, you're on your own. I'll 341 00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:06,680 Speaker 4: go before you if you go to Nineveh, but good 342 00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:10,520 Speaker 4: luck if you go the other way. Jonah got on 343 00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:14,360 Speaker 4: a boat headed in the wrong direction, and a huge 344 00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:19,879 Speaker 4: storm arose. Yes, there are consequences for going the wrong way, 345 00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:23,640 Speaker 4: but that doesn't mean God is not going to help you. 346 00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:27,439 Speaker 4: He's going to give you another chance, and another chance, 347 00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:31,119 Speaker 4: and another. The boat was about to capsize. They were 348 00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:35,040 Speaker 4: all about to die. Jonah finally admitted he was the cause. 349 00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:39,200 Speaker 4: They didn't think twice they threw him overboard. Jonah was 350 00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:42,040 Speaker 4: out in the middle of the ocean in a huge storm, 351 00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:46,000 Speaker 4: no life jacket, no chance of survival. This should have 352 00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:49,240 Speaker 4: been the end. Jonah died doing his own thing. Don't 353 00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:53,600 Speaker 4: feel sorry for him. But God doesn't abandon us when 354 00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:58,679 Speaker 4: we make mistakes. God had already gone before Jonah in 355 00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:02,520 Speaker 4: the wrong direction, and he had that big fish waiting 356 00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:07,120 Speaker 4: to swallow him up and spare his life. Like Jonah, 357 00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:10,440 Speaker 4: many of us would not be here if God had 358 00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:14,359 Speaker 4: not gone before us in the wrong direction. We brought 359 00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:18,520 Speaker 4: the trouble on ourselves. It was nobody's fault except our own. 360 00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:21,800 Speaker 4: But God, in his mercy, was there to help get 361 00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:25,720 Speaker 4: us out. I want you to have this assurance that 362 00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:29,520 Speaker 4: you're not doing life by yourself. The creator of the 363 00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:34,240 Speaker 4: universe is going before you. He has you covered. You 364 00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:37,639 Speaker 4: can lie down at night in peace. Not just when 365 00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:41,480 Speaker 4: you do everything right, but even when you make mistakes. 366 00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:45,320 Speaker 4: You may think that you've blown it too many times, 367 00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:49,320 Speaker 4: you've gotten too far off course. You wouldn't be hearing 368 00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:52,760 Speaker 4: this if God was finished with you. And you can 369 00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:56,879 Speaker 4: try to outrun God, but you'll never be successful. God 370 00:23:57,000 --> 00:23:59,879 Speaker 4: knows your next move. When you show up, He'll be 371 00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:03,720 Speaker 4: right there, not to condemn you, but to help restore you, 372 00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:07,000 Speaker 4: to give you another chance, to help you get back 373 00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:10,960 Speaker 4: on the best path you can still become all God's 374 00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:15,040 Speaker 4: created you to be. Years ago, there was a pastor 375 00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:18,960 Speaker 4: of a large church in America. He was very successful, 376 00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:21,959 Speaker 4: but he made poor choices and he got off course, 377 00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:24,720 Speaker 4: and he ended up losing his family and had to 378 00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:28,360 Speaker 4: resign from the ministry. It's very sad. He was living 379 00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:33,160 Speaker 4: very down on himself, guilty, condemned, feeling all washed up. 380 00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:38,040 Speaker 4: Several years later, he was in South America. A local 381 00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:40,879 Speaker 4: pastor that he knew there invited him to come to 382 00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:44,840 Speaker 4: his church. He was sitting on the platform during a service. 383 00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:49,040 Speaker 4: This man came up, looked him in the eyes, almost 384 00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:53,320 Speaker 4: in amazement, and begin weeping. This pastor didn't know what 385 00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:56,800 Speaker 4: was going on. The man started praying for him. All 386 00:24:56,840 --> 00:25:00,480 Speaker 4: of a sudden, he felt a warmth come over him 387 00:25:00,640 --> 00:25:03,879 Speaker 4: like nothing he had ever felt. He said, it was 388 00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:07,600 Speaker 4: like this love was purging him of all the guilt, 389 00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:12,080 Speaker 4: the shame, the hurt. For the first time, he was 390 00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:16,080 Speaker 4: able to forgive himself that night was a turning point. 391 00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:20,120 Speaker 4: He left there feeling restored, knowing that God still had 392 00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:24,159 Speaker 4: a purpose for him. After the service, he asked that 393 00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:27,720 Speaker 4: man why he prayed for him like that. This man 394 00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:32,640 Speaker 4: explained how, twenty years earlier he was praying and out 395 00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:36,440 Speaker 4: of nowhere he saw this man's face in his heart. 396 00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:40,160 Speaker 4: God said to him, one day, you're going to see 397 00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:43,399 Speaker 4: this man face to face, and you're to help bring 398 00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:49,480 Speaker 4: healing and restoration to him. What's interesting is, twenty years earlier, 399 00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:54,280 Speaker 4: this US pastor wasn't in the ministry. He wasn't even 400 00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:58,160 Speaker 4: married yet. Yet God had already lined up the right 401 00:25:58,280 --> 00:26:02,840 Speaker 4: person to help him. God knows the end from the beginning. 402 00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:07,240 Speaker 4: He has solutions to problems you haven't had. He's going 403 00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:11,080 Speaker 4: before you not to just level mountains, but to help 404 00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:13,920 Speaker 4: lift you when you fall, to help restore you when 405 00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:17,480 Speaker 4: you make mistakes. He'll have the right people there to 406 00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:22,320 Speaker 4: help bring healing and wholeness. Maybe God is using me 407 00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:25,199 Speaker 4: to help get you back on the right course. We 408 00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:29,800 Speaker 4: didn't meet by accident. God caused our paths to cross. 409 00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:34,399 Speaker 4: You may have made mistakes, but that didn't cancel your destiny. 410 00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:39,080 Speaker 4: God has already forgiven you his mercy is bigger than 411 00:26:39,119 --> 00:26:44,320 Speaker 4: any mistake. He already has a new beginning waiting for you. 412 00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:48,959 Speaker 4: Why don't you get back in the game. Quit living guilty, condemned. 413 00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:52,800 Speaker 4: You wouldn't be alive unless God had something amazing up 414 00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:56,639 Speaker 4: in front of you. Friends, you're not doing life on 415 00:26:56,680 --> 00:27:01,280 Speaker 4: your own. You have an advantage. The God who goes 416 00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:05,760 Speaker 4: before you is fighting your battles. Are you living worried, 417 00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:08,520 Speaker 4: stressed out, wondering how it's going to work out? God 418 00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:12,800 Speaker 4: is saying, trust me, I have you covered. I know 419 00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:15,920 Speaker 4: where you are, and I know where you're going. And 420 00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:18,880 Speaker 4: those obstacles that look like they're never going to change, 421 00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:21,160 Speaker 4: you need to get ready. This is a new day, 422 00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:25,720 Speaker 4: I believe and declare. God is breaking chains that have 423 00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:29,719 Speaker 4: held you back. He's driving the inhabitants out of your land. 424 00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:36,200 Speaker 4: You're going to see increase, restoration, healing, breakthroughs, the fullness 425 00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:39,199 Speaker 4: of your destiny. You will know it is the God 426 00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:43,040 Speaker 4: who goes before you. In Jesus' name. If you receive 427 00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:47,480 Speaker 4: it today, can you say amen, I'd like to give 428 00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:50,879 Speaker 4: you an opportunity to make Jesus the lord of your life. 429 00:27:51,280 --> 00:27:55,720 Speaker 4: Would you pray with me? Just say Lord, Jesus, I 430 00:27:55,840 --> 00:28:01,080 Speaker 4: repent of my sins. Come into my heart. I'll make 431 00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:05,119 Speaker 4: you my Lord and savior. Friends, if you prayed that 432 00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:08,359 Speaker 4: simple prayer, we believe you got born again.
