We love you and we know God has 7 00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:23,400 Speaker 1: great things in store for each one of you. And 8 00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:25,920 Speaker 1: if you're ever in our area, I hope you'll stop 9 00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:27,840 Speaker 1: by and be a part of one of our services. 10 00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:29,800 Speaker 1: I promise you will make you feel right at home. 11 00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:32,320 Speaker 1: But thanks so much for tuning in today and thank 12 00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:34,720 Speaker 1: you again for coming out. I like to start with 13 00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:37,520 Speaker 1: something funny each week and one day. Up in heaven, 14 00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:39,880 Speaker 1: God said to the men, I want you to form 15 00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:43,120 Speaker 1: two lines. One line is for the men who were 16 00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:45,640 Speaker 1: the head of the house, and the other line is 17 00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:47,839 Speaker 1: for the men who let the woman be the head 18 00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:50,560 Speaker 1: of the house. The line where the woman ran the 19 00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:53,640 Speaker 1: house was one hundred miles long. There was only one 20 00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:56,760 Speaker 1: man in the other line. God said, men, I'm ashamed 21 00:00:56,760 --> 00:00:59,360 Speaker 1: of you. I created you to be the head. Only 22 00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:02,440 Speaker 1: one man stood up to make me proud. He turned 23 00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:04,480 Speaker 1: to him and said, son, tell him, how did you 24 00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:07,080 Speaker 1: manage to be the only one in this line? He 25 00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:09,120 Speaker 1: looked kind of confused and said, I don't know. My 26 00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:14,160 Speaker 1: wife told me to stand here. All right, hold up 27 00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:16,680 Speaker 1: your bible. Say it like you mean it. This is 28 00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:19,840 Speaker 1: my Bible. I am what it says I am. I 29 00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:22,319 Speaker 1: have what it says I have. I can do what 30 00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:25,200 Speaker 1: it says I can do. Today I will be taught 31 00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:29,400 Speaker 1: the word of God. I boldly confess. My mind is alert, 32 00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:32,800 Speaker 1: my heart is receptive. I will never be the same. 33 00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:37,280 Speaker 1: In Jesus' name, God bless you. I want to talked 34 00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:40,919 Speaker 1: to you today about how your set time is coming. 35 00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:44,840 Speaker 1: So often we wonder why something is taking so long. 36 00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:49,000 Speaker 1: We prayed, we believed, but we don't see anything happening. 37 00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:52,360 Speaker 1: We get discouraged and start thinking that it's never going 38 00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:56,040 Speaker 1: to happen. But here's what I've learned. The moment God 39 00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:59,200 Speaker 1: puts the promise in your heart, the moment the dream 40 00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:03,560 Speaker 1: took root. At that same moment, God has established a 41 00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:07,040 Speaker 1: set time to bring it to pass. He will not 42 00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:11,040 Speaker 1: give you a promise without appointing a specific time to 43 00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:15,239 Speaker 1: fulfill it. When we understand this, it takes away the frustration. 44 00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:19,079 Speaker 1: We don't get discouraged because we don't see anything happening. 45 00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:23,320 Speaker 1: We know the set time is coming. We don't give 46 00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:26,240 Speaker 1: up because it's taken a long time. We know the 47 00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:29,960 Speaker 1: set time is the right time. We don't believe the 48 00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:33,040 Speaker 1: lies that it's never going to happen. We know the truth. 49 00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:37,400 Speaker 1: The moment the promise took root, God established the set time. 50 00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:40,079 Speaker 1: As long as we stay in faith, as long as 51 00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:44,560 Speaker 1: we keep believing, nothing can stop that set time. Maybe 52 00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:47,000 Speaker 1: you're standing on the promise that as for me and 53 00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:50,320 Speaker 1: my house, we will serve the Lord. You know down deep, 54 00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:53,640 Speaker 1: that's for you. It's taken root in your spirit. But 55 00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:56,360 Speaker 1: when you look at your family, it doesn't look like 56 00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:58,680 Speaker 1: it's ever going to happen. The more you pray, it 57 00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:01,440 Speaker 1: seems like the worse they do. If you just look 58 00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:05,239 Speaker 1: at it in the natural, you'll get discouraged, possibly give 59 00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:08,360 Speaker 1: up on the promise. You've got to remind yourself of 60 00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:12,720 Speaker 1: this truth. God has already set a time for each 61 00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:15,080 Speaker 1: of your family members to come to know Him. He 62 00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:19,200 Speaker 1: already established it the moment you prayed. You don't have 63 00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:21,880 Speaker 1: to know when it is. You just have to keep believing, 64 00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:25,519 Speaker 1: knowing that it is on its way. Friends, in your future, 65 00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:29,240 Speaker 1: there is a set time for you to accomplish dreams. 66 00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:32,040 Speaker 1: There is a set time for you to meet the 67 00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:35,040 Speaker 1: right people. There is a set time for you to 68 00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:38,560 Speaker 1: come out of debt, a set time for problems to 69 00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:42,240 Speaker 1: turn around. That's what it says in Tobacca. The vision 70 00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:47,840 Speaker 1: is for an appointed time. Though it terry waited earnestly 71 00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:52,520 Speaker 1: for it, it will surely come. One translation says it 72 00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:56,280 Speaker 1: won't be one second late. That tells me we don't 73 00:03:56,320 --> 00:04:00,560 Speaker 1: have to live frustrated because it's not happening on our Timetabe. 74 00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:03,760 Speaker 1: I don't have to be discouraged thinking I'm missing out, 75 00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:06,120 Speaker 1: I'm getting too old. I'm never going to get to 76 00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:09,320 Speaker 1: where I'm supposed to be. Now, if you'll stay in faith, 77 00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:13,680 Speaker 1: those promises won't be one second late. Maybe you're single 78 00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:16,400 Speaker 1: and you have a desire to get married. Well, know this, 79 00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:19,560 Speaker 1: the person that God has picked out for you to meet, 80 00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:22,320 Speaker 1: they're not going to be one second late. You're going 81 00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:25,680 Speaker 1: to meet them at the exact right time. It's already 82 00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:29,279 Speaker 1: been set. The creator of the universe has ordained it. 83 00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:33,400 Speaker 1: When is the set time, It's the right time. It's 84 00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:36,640 Speaker 1: when God knows that it's best for you. If you're 85 00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:39,240 Speaker 1: like me, you want everything right now. God, I want 86 00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:41,120 Speaker 1: it fast. God. I'm in a hurry. God, I don't 87 00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:44,120 Speaker 1: want to be left out. That's not always the best. 88 00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:48,240 Speaker 1: Sometimes it's because we're not ready, we're not prepared, and 89 00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:52,320 Speaker 1: as we wait with the right attitude, we grow, we mature, 90 00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:56,920 Speaker 1: we develop. Or sometimes it's not us, it's the other person. 91 00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:00,360 Speaker 1: The one God has ordained for you is not ready. 92 00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:03,080 Speaker 1: God is still doing a work on them. If you 93 00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:05,560 Speaker 1: were to meet them right now, it wouldn't work out. 94 00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:09,920 Speaker 1: Trust God's timing. He knows what's best. When he gave 95 00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:14,400 Speaker 1: you the promise, he established the exact right time. And 96 00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:17,880 Speaker 1: when those lives come saying it's never gonna happen, you're 97 00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:20,880 Speaker 1: never gonna meet anybody, You're never gonna get well, You're 98 00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:25,359 Speaker 1: never gonna have an exceedingly abundantly above and beyond decade. No, 99 00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:29,800 Speaker 1: don't believe the never lies. Our attitude should be. I 100 00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:32,840 Speaker 1: may not see away, but I know God has a way. 101 00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:35,880 Speaker 1: He's the one that put the promise in me. He 102 00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:39,800 Speaker 1: gave me the dream, and I know he's already established 103 00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:43,160 Speaker 1: a set time to bring it to pass. It's already 104 00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:46,800 Speaker 1: on my calendar. It's already been set in my future. 105 00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:50,280 Speaker 1: So I'm not gonna get discouraged. I'm not going to 106 00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:54,800 Speaker 1: give up. I'm going to wait for it earnestly in faith, 107 00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:57,440 Speaker 1: knowing that it is on its way. And it's not 108 00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:00,120 Speaker 1: going to be a year late, a month late, a 109 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:02,880 Speaker 1: week late, a day late, a minute late. It's not 110 00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:06,279 Speaker 1: gonna be one second late. It's gonna happen at the 111 00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:10,400 Speaker 1: exact right time. You don't know. Your set time could 112 00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:14,760 Speaker 1: be tonight, Your set time could be tomorrow. You could 113 00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:17,839 Speaker 1: meet the person of your dreams this week. You could 114 00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:21,000 Speaker 1: see your health turn around this month. You could come 115 00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:24,359 Speaker 1: totally out of debt this year. Many of you have 116 00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:29,239 Speaker 1: been faithful, You've stood on those promises a year, five years, 117 00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:32,040 Speaker 1: twenty years. You need to get ready. There are some 118 00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:36,719 Speaker 1: set times in your future where suddenly God is gonna 119 00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:39,600 Speaker 1: thrust you to a new level. Suddenly you're gonna get 120 00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:42,719 Speaker 1: the breaks you're praying about, Suddenly you meet the right people. 121 00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:45,960 Speaker 1: What happened, You hit one of your set times, You 122 00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:49,360 Speaker 1: came into your due season. But the truth is, in life, 123 00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:53,479 Speaker 1: we all have to wait. It's through faith and patience 124 00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:56,760 Speaker 1: that we inherit the promises. The key is to learn 125 00:06:56,800 --> 00:07:01,680 Speaker 1: to wait the right way, not discouraged, upset, negative it's 126 00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:04,560 Speaker 1: never gonna happen. No, the right way to wait is 127 00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:08,960 Speaker 1: with expectancy. In other words, I know my set time 128 00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:12,480 Speaker 1: is coming. I'm not going to live worried and upset, 129 00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:15,880 Speaker 1: wondering why it hasn't happened yet. No, I know God 130 00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:19,040 Speaker 1: has ordained it. It's already in my future, and I 131 00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:22,280 Speaker 1: believe it could happen today. I could get a good 132 00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:25,400 Speaker 1: break this week, my child could come back home this month. 133 00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:29,160 Speaker 1: I know there are set times in my future. Well, 134 00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:31,000 Speaker 1: you said, Joe, what if I get my hopes up 135 00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:34,160 Speaker 1: like that each day and it doesn't happen, then I'll 136 00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:37,200 Speaker 1: go to bed another night disappointed. No, turn it around. 137 00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:40,800 Speaker 1: Your attitude should be Father. I want to thank you now. 138 00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:43,640 Speaker 1: I know I'm one day closer to see in that 139 00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:48,200 Speaker 1: set time come to pass. You remember when God promised 140 00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:50,680 Speaker 1: Abraham and Sarah that they were going to have a 141 00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:54,800 Speaker 1: child in the natural. They were much too old. In fact, 142 00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:57,119 Speaker 1: when they heard it, they both kind of laughed and thought, 143 00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:01,360 Speaker 1: that's impossible. Can you imagine us having a bad God 144 00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:04,320 Speaker 1: must have heard what they were saying, because he said 145 00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:08,880 Speaker 1: in Genesis eighteen fourteen, is there anything too hard for me? 146 00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:14,119 Speaker 1: At the appointed time? I will return and give Sarah 147 00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:18,600 Speaker 1: a son. Notice there was an appointed time for something 148 00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:23,080 Speaker 1: supernatural to happen. According to the laws of nature, Sarah 149 00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:25,960 Speaker 1: couldn't have a baby. She was nearly eighty years old. 150 00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:29,640 Speaker 1: She had already gone through the change of life. But friends, 151 00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:32,440 Speaker 1: God is not limited by the laws of nature, or 152 00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:36,000 Speaker 1: the laws of medicine or the laws of science. It 153 00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:39,880 Speaker 1: may look impossible for you to ever get out of debt, 154 00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:43,080 Speaker 1: or for you to ever leave a legacy of faith 155 00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:46,760 Speaker 1: and victory for your family. Maybe you come from generations 156 00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:52,160 Speaker 1: of lack, mediocrity, addictions. In the natural. It looks impossible, 157 00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:55,760 Speaker 1: But God is saying, is there anything too hard for me? 158 00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:59,920 Speaker 1: I've already appointed a time. I've already made a range 159 00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:02,640 Speaker 1: much to thrust you to a new level. I've already 160 00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:07,160 Speaker 1: lined up and exceedingly abundantly above and beyond decade the 161 00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:11,080 Speaker 1: moment the promise took root, God set that in your future. 162 00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:14,280 Speaker 1: It's up ahead of you right now. It may look 163 00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:17,560 Speaker 1: like you could never get well. All the medical reports 164 00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:23,080 Speaker 1: say impossible, hopeless, no way. But God is saying, I 165 00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:27,199 Speaker 1: supersede those laws. I'm not limited by the laws of medicine. 166 00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:30,520 Speaker 1: I've already appointed a time to turn your health around. 167 00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:34,760 Speaker 1: I've already set the date for your breakthrough. Now you've 168 00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:36,839 Speaker 1: got to get in agreement with God and get your 169 00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:41,200 Speaker 1: joy back, get your vision back. There is something great 170 00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:45,160 Speaker 1: in your future. You would not be alive unless God 171 00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:48,960 Speaker 1: had another victory ahead of you. The dreams He's placed 172 00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:52,280 Speaker 1: in your heart, the situations you're believing to turn around. 173 00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:55,839 Speaker 1: God has already set the time for it to come 174 00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:59,800 Speaker 1: to pass. It's already on your calendar, already been written 175 00:09:59,840 --> 00:10:02,199 Speaker 1: in your book. Now you've got to get up each 176 00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:05,000 Speaker 1: morning and say, Father, I want to thank you that 177 00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:08,600 Speaker 1: my set time is coming. I know the moment I 178 00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:11,920 Speaker 1: prayed you established it. I may not be able to 179 00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:15,079 Speaker 1: see it, it may look impossible, but I'm not gonna 180 00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:17,800 Speaker 1: get discouraged. I'm gonna dig my heels in and keep 181 00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:21,960 Speaker 1: pressing forward, knowing that my appointed time is on its way. 182 00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:26,920 Speaker 1: It's interesting how God said I will return and give 183 00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:29,840 Speaker 1: Sarah a son. And in a sense we know that 184 00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:33,840 Speaker 1: God never leaves us. But between the time we pray 185 00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:37,520 Speaker 1: and the time we see the answer, that's what's called 186 00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:40,920 Speaker 1: the trial of our faith. In other words, God will 187 00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:43,400 Speaker 1: step back and say, all right, let me see what 188 00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:46,160 Speaker 1: they're made of. Let me see how much they trust me. 189 00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:49,600 Speaker 1: Are they going to get discouraged and give up because 190 00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:52,719 Speaker 1: it's taken a long time. Are they gonna start complaining 191 00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:56,040 Speaker 1: thinking it's not gonna happen. Or are they gonna be 192 00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:59,680 Speaker 1: like those fanatical people at Lakewood and believe that there's 193 00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:03,760 Speaker 1: nothing too hard for me, and just keep praising me 194 00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:08,560 Speaker 1: and keep thinking me, acting like it's gonna happen, talking 195 00:11:08,640 --> 00:11:11,720 Speaker 1: like it's gonna happen, thinking like it's gonna happen. Friends. 196 00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:14,720 Speaker 1: It's that attitude of faith that allows God to bring 197 00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:18,280 Speaker 1: the set times to pass. It says in Genesis twenty 198 00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:22,600 Speaker 1: one to two, Sarah conceived and bore a sun. Notice 199 00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:26,720 Speaker 1: when it happened at the set time. When you understand 200 00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:29,920 Speaker 1: that God has already set the time, you won't be 201 00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:34,040 Speaker 1: frustrated because things don't happen on your timetable. You know 202 00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:37,640 Speaker 1: God has established the right time. But I see too 203 00:11:37,720 --> 00:11:40,160 Speaker 1: many people that give up on their dreams, and they 204 00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:43,760 Speaker 1: abort the promises God's placed in their heart because it's 205 00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:46,080 Speaker 1: not happening as fast as they would like, and they've 206 00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:49,200 Speaker 1: gone through setbacks and things hadn't worked out. But if 207 00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:52,400 Speaker 1: you can just keep reminding yourself God has already set 208 00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:55,200 Speaker 1: the time and it's not gonna be one second late, 209 00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:58,600 Speaker 1: then that will give you the faith to keep pressing forward. 210 00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:01,440 Speaker 1: Some of you and standing on a promise for a 211 00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:05,880 Speaker 1: long time, you've been praying, believing, working hard, being your best. 212 00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:09,480 Speaker 1: Let me tell you you've passed the test. You've proven to 213 00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:12,079 Speaker 1: God that you're faithful. And God is going to do 214 00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:14,160 Speaker 1: for you what he did for Sarah. He's going to 215 00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:18,120 Speaker 1: return and visit your house and bring those promises to pass. 216 00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:21,559 Speaker 1: God is going to reward your faithfulness, your obedience, your 217 00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:24,880 Speaker 1: trust in Him. That's what happened to a young lady 218 00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:29,000 Speaker 1: I know. She worked part time as a receptionist at 219 00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:33,200 Speaker 1: this big film studio in California. Deep down, her dream 220 00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:36,560 Speaker 1: was to touch people all over the world through movies. That 221 00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:39,640 Speaker 1: was the promise God birthed in her spirit. She went 222 00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:42,600 Speaker 1: to college and study this God her degree. But in 223 00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:45,959 Speaker 1: spite of her education, this was the only job she 224 00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:49,400 Speaker 1: could find, a temporary position, and she worked for three 225 00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:52,840 Speaker 1: years part time. Was only called in when one of 226 00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:56,880 Speaker 1: the regular employees couldn't be there, but she didn't get discouraged. 227 00:12:57,240 --> 00:13:01,440 Speaker 1: She understood this principle that her set time was coming. 228 00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:06,240 Speaker 1: She never complained, She didn't slack off because it was temporary. 229 00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:09,240 Speaker 1: Every time she was there, she gave it her best, 230 00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:12,360 Speaker 1: went out of her way to be kind and friendly, 231 00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:15,040 Speaker 1: did more than she had to do, and at one 232 00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:18,680 Speaker 1: point the main receptionist went on maternity leave. That opened 233 00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:21,680 Speaker 1: the door for her to be hired full time. Several 234 00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:24,720 Speaker 1: years later, the man in charge of the studio, the 235 00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:28,440 Speaker 1: CEO of the company, said, I really like that young lady. 236 00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:31,240 Speaker 1: I want her to be one of my assistants. That 237 00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:36,160 Speaker 1: led to promotion after promotion. Today, seven years later, that 238 00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:39,559 Speaker 1: young girl that started off part time as a receptionist 239 00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:43,240 Speaker 1: is now the vice president of one of the largest, 240 00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:47,480 Speaker 1: most influential film studios in the world. She decides which 241 00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:51,480 Speaker 1: movies will be produced. What happened she came in to 242 00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:54,640 Speaker 1: her set time. Here's what I want you to see. 243 00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:58,959 Speaker 1: She had plenty of opportunities along the way to get discouraged. 244 00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:02,439 Speaker 1: She could have settled where she was and thought, all, great, 245 00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:05,360 Speaker 1: just my luck. I've got all this education and all 246 00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:07,920 Speaker 1: I can find is a temporary job. It's just not 247 00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:12,520 Speaker 1: meant to be friends. It's easy to abort dreams. But 248 00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:15,680 Speaker 1: if you will stay in faith and just keep being 249 00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:19,040 Speaker 1: the best right where you are, like this young lady, 250 00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:22,560 Speaker 1: you will come in to your due season. The dream 251 00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:26,200 Speaker 1: God put in your heart is for an appointed time, 252 00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:29,480 Speaker 1: and the scripture says, though it's taken a long time, 253 00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:33,880 Speaker 1: wait for it earnestly. What does that mean? Stay passionate, 254 00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:38,120 Speaker 1: keep praying, keep believing, keep hoping, keep being your best. 255 00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:41,200 Speaker 1: Each day. When you do that, you're passing the test. 256 00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:44,560 Speaker 1: You're getting one day closer to seeing the promise come 257 00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:48,080 Speaker 1: to pass. I think about the apostle Paul. God put 258 00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:50,320 Speaker 1: the promise in his heart that he was going to 259 00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:54,360 Speaker 1: stand before Caesar. Paul believed it, and at that moment 260 00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:57,800 Speaker 1: God set a time for it to happen. But Paul 261 00:14:57,840 --> 00:15:02,040 Speaker 1: went through many adversities and appointments and set back. It 262 00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:05,000 Speaker 1: didn't look like it was going to happen. In fact, 263 00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:07,360 Speaker 1: one time Paul was on a boat out in the 264 00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:12,160 Speaker 1: ocean and this huge storm arose. For twenty one days, 265 00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:15,400 Speaker 1: the storm battered the boat back and forth. They thought 266 00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:18,480 Speaker 1: they were going to die. It got so bad the 267 00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:21,920 Speaker 1: captain had them throw all the cargo overboard to try 268 00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:26,680 Speaker 1: to keep the ship from sinking. Paul could have gotten depressed, thinking, well, 269 00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:29,080 Speaker 1: I thought God gave me the promise that I was 270 00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:31,200 Speaker 1: going to stand before Caesar. Doesn't look like it's going 271 00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:35,000 Speaker 1: to happen. No, Paul knew this truth. My set time 272 00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:38,560 Speaker 1: is coming. I can't die in this storm. God has 273 00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:41,520 Speaker 1: something else for me to do. He stayed in faith. 274 00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:44,960 Speaker 1: That boat eventually fell apart and they had to swim 275 00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:48,120 Speaker 1: to dry ground on this little island. Paul reached down 276 00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:50,280 Speaker 1: to pick up some wood for a fire, and a 277 00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:55,000 Speaker 1: poisonous snake bid him on the arm. The natives expected 278 00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:58,360 Speaker 1: him to swell up, get sick, and die. They had 279 00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:01,880 Speaker 1: seen it happen again and again. But Paul simply shook 280 00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:05,600 Speaker 1: the snake off and went about his business. His attitude 281 00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:09,080 Speaker 1: was no big deal. This snake can't stop my destiny. 282 00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:13,240 Speaker 1: This shipwreck can't defeat me. I've got an appointed time. 283 00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:16,480 Speaker 1: God is already ordained it now. I'm not gonna let 284 00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:19,080 Speaker 1: a few setbacks and bumps in the road caused me 285 00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:22,360 Speaker 1: to give up. My future is in God's hands, and 286 00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:25,120 Speaker 1: he has already set the time for me to stand 287 00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:28,840 Speaker 1: before Caesar. Sure enough. One day, Paul did just what 288 00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:31,920 Speaker 1: God said. He stood before Caesar. He came in to 289 00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:35,360 Speaker 1: his set time. Many of you have a dream in 290 00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:38,520 Speaker 1: your heart, a promise that you're standing on. But it 291 00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:43,760 Speaker 1: seems like everything has come against you. Disappointments, bad breaks, setbacks. 292 00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:47,080 Speaker 1: You could easily get discouraged, you could easily settle where 293 00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:49,560 Speaker 1: you are. You got to learn to do like Paul 294 00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:53,320 Speaker 1: and just keep shaking it off. You go through a disappointment, 295 00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:56,920 Speaker 1: no big deal. God's still in control. Shake it off. 296 00:16:56,920 --> 00:17:00,560 Speaker 1: Somebody lies about you. They don't control your destiny. God 297 00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:03,840 Speaker 1: does shake it off. You get a bad break, one 298 00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:06,560 Speaker 1: door closes, God's going to open up another door. Shake 299 00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:09,920 Speaker 1: it off. The medical report doesn't look good, don't dwell 300 00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:12,520 Speaker 1: on it, night and day. Shake it off. You may 301 00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:15,919 Speaker 1: get knocked down, but God has already set a time 302 00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:18,879 Speaker 1: for you to get back up again. I received a 303 00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:22,000 Speaker 1: letter this week from a gentleman that was diagnosed with 304 00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:26,000 Speaker 1: cancer of the kidney. He had one kidney removed and 305 00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:28,240 Speaker 1: they ran tests to see if it was in his 306 00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:30,600 Speaker 1: lymph nose to see if it had spread, and those 307 00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:34,280 Speaker 1: tests came back positive. The cancer had indeed spread. The 308 00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:37,040 Speaker 1: doctors gave him the grim news that he had less 309 00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:40,640 Speaker 1: than two years to live. He was respectful, but he said, doctors, 310 00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:44,880 Speaker 1: I don't believe I'm finished just yet. I've got something 311 00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:48,439 Speaker 1: else to do. They said, sir, you're in denial. You 312 00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:50,639 Speaker 1: need to accept it and learn to deal with it. 313 00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:53,879 Speaker 1: He went to another very well known hospital for a 314 00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:56,680 Speaker 1: second opinion. He took all of his charts and records, 315 00:17:56,760 --> 00:17:59,480 Speaker 1: and the doctor studied it and said, yes, looks like 316 00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:02,479 Speaker 1: they were right. Looks like the cancer has spread. He 317 00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:05,280 Speaker 1: asked the doctors to run some new test. A week 318 00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:08,440 Speaker 1: or so later, they came back in amazement and they said, 319 00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:11,480 Speaker 1: we've never seen this before. The old tests clearly show 320 00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:14,600 Speaker 1: that you have cancer, but these new tests show there's 321 00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:19,520 Speaker 1: no trace of cancer in your body. That was five 322 00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:23,040 Speaker 1: years ago. He is still as healthy as can be, 323 00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:27,119 Speaker 1: still going strong. What happened He came in to his 324 00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:31,560 Speaker 1: set time. God visited his house and did what medical 325 00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:34,200 Speaker 1: science could not do. Let me tell you, if it's 326 00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:37,040 Speaker 1: not your time to go, you're not gonna go. God 327 00:18:37,119 --> 00:18:41,320 Speaker 1: has the final say down deep in here like that, man, 328 00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:44,360 Speaker 1: you will fill the promise. I can't die yet. I've 329 00:18:44,359 --> 00:18:47,280 Speaker 1: got something else to do. It may not look good 330 00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:50,520 Speaker 1: like Paul, the snake may be poisonous, but I'm gonna 331 00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:53,240 Speaker 1: shake it off. I know a set time is coming. 332 00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:55,879 Speaker 1: I know the God of the breakthrough is about to 333 00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:58,800 Speaker 1: visit my house. Some of you need to get ready. 334 00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:02,800 Speaker 1: Your set time is closer than you think. You're about 335 00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:05,639 Speaker 1: to see God open up the doors you've been praying about. 336 00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:09,040 Speaker 1: You're about to meet the person that you've been dreaming about. 337 00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:11,879 Speaker 1: God is about to thrust you to a new level. 338 00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:16,439 Speaker 1: Like Sarah, God is gonna return and visit your house. 339 00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:21,159 Speaker 1: Here's why. It's because you've been faithful. You pass the test. 340 00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:24,440 Speaker 1: You've done the right thing when the wrong thing was happening. 341 00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:28,040 Speaker 1: Now your set time is coming. Friends, this is not 342 00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:31,119 Speaker 1: the time to get down and discouraged. This is not 343 00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:33,440 Speaker 1: the time to let your own thoughts talk you out 344 00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:36,720 Speaker 1: of it. Start thinking it's never gonna happen. I'm getting 345 00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:40,399 Speaker 1: too old. I'm never gonna accomplish my dreams now. The 346 00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:44,600 Speaker 1: scripture says, don't get tired of doing what's right, for 347 00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:47,960 Speaker 1: in due season, you will read. If you just don't 348 00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:52,240 Speaker 1: give up, you gotta keep reminding yourself. My due season 349 00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:56,080 Speaker 1: is on his way. God has already established it. He's 350 00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:59,240 Speaker 1: already set the time in my future. I may not 351 00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:02,479 Speaker 1: be able to see it, may look impossible, but I 352 00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:06,080 Speaker 1: know my future is in God's hands. And if God 353 00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:08,919 Speaker 1: said it, he will do it. What he promised he 354 00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:12,720 Speaker 1: will bring to past. I heard TD Jakes telling about 355 00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:15,840 Speaker 1: a major turning point in his life. Most of you 356 00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:18,560 Speaker 1: know Bishop Jakes. He's a great minister and a good 357 00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:22,560 Speaker 1: friend of ours. And he told how years ago he 358 00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:25,719 Speaker 1: had a dream to touch people all over the world. 359 00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:28,439 Speaker 1: He knew that God was going to use him in 360 00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:31,760 Speaker 1: a great way, but at that time, he was pastoring 361 00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:35,760 Speaker 1: a small church in West Virginia. He prayed and believed 362 00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:39,000 Speaker 1: and asked God to open up bigger doors, but nothing 363 00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:41,960 Speaker 1: seemed to be happening. For years, he would go across 364 00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:45,280 Speaker 1: the US, speaking to a couple hundred people here and there, 365 00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:47,800 Speaker 1: but nothing like he had in his heart. And this 366 00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:50,160 Speaker 1: one on year after year, and he didn't see any 367 00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:53,520 Speaker 1: signs of growth. But he didn't start complaining, He didn't 368 00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:57,160 Speaker 1: get discouraged. He just kept being his best right where 369 00:20:57,160 --> 00:21:00,760 Speaker 1: he was, doing what God called him to do. One day, 370 00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:03,960 Speaker 1: he went and spoke at a church conference in Tulsa. 371 00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:08,200 Speaker 1: The pastor of that church had a television program. After 372 00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:12,240 Speaker 1: the conference, the pastor decided to edit down the highlights 373 00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:15,159 Speaker 1: from the three or four conference speakers, just maybe four 374 00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:17,679 Speaker 1: or five minutes each one, and put them on his 375 00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:22,320 Speaker 1: weekly television program. When the broadcast aired, it just so 376 00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:27,480 Speaker 1: happened that Paul Crouch, the founder of the Trinity Broadcasting Network, 377 00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:31,240 Speaker 1: was flipping through the channels and he came across this 378 00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:34,600 Speaker 1: man that he had never seen, Bishop Jakes. He was 379 00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:38,840 Speaker 1: so impressed, so stirred by it. Paul Krouch told his staff, 380 00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:41,600 Speaker 1: I don't know who that man was, but I want 381 00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:44,800 Speaker 1: you to find him and tell him. I want him 382 00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:48,960 Speaker 1: to have his own program on our network. That one moment, 383 00:21:49,320 --> 00:21:52,440 Speaker 1: that one good break, was the turning point in Bishop 384 00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:55,840 Speaker 1: Jake's ministry. He went from ministering to a couple hundred 385 00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:59,240 Speaker 1: people to ministering to millions all over the world. He 386 00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:03,680 Speaker 1: came in to his set time, But I think about 387 00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:07,520 Speaker 1: all the events that had to get perfectly lined up 388 00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:10,679 Speaker 1: in order for that to happen. Bishop Jakes had to 389 00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:13,600 Speaker 1: be speaking at the right church. The pastor had to 390 00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:17,000 Speaker 1: have a television program, Paul Crouch had to be flipping 391 00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:20,120 Speaker 1: through the channels at the exact right time. If he'd 392 00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:22,520 Speaker 1: have been five minutes later if he had gone to 393 00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:25,600 Speaker 1: make a sandwich, if he'd gone to take a telephone call, 394 00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:29,119 Speaker 1: it would not have happened. What am I saying, God 395 00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:32,399 Speaker 1: is working behind the scenes in our lives, whether we 396 00:22:32,440 --> 00:22:35,840 Speaker 1: can see anything happening or not. That was not a 397 00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:40,480 Speaker 1: lucky break. That was not just a coincidence. That was 398 00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:44,760 Speaker 1: Almighty God, the creator of the universe, getting everything lined 399 00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:48,639 Speaker 1: up and at the right moment, at the appointed time. 400 00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:52,639 Speaker 1: It all came together in the same way God is 401 00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:56,119 Speaker 1: getting everything lined up for you. You may not see it. 402 00:22:56,760 --> 00:22:58,960 Speaker 1: Everything may be the same, just like it's been the 403 00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:02,600 Speaker 1: last ten years, but all the sudden, in a split second, 404 00:23:02,880 --> 00:23:05,639 Speaker 1: is going to come together. God is going to visit 405 00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:08,760 Speaker 1: your house and bring a set time across your path. 406 00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:12,159 Speaker 1: And when it's your due season, no person can stop it. 407 00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:15,800 Speaker 1: When it's your appointed time, all the forces of darkness 408 00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:19,400 Speaker 1: cannot keep it from happening. Suddenly your business will take off, 409 00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:22,600 Speaker 1: Suddenly you'll get the break you need, Suddenly your health 410 00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:26,240 Speaker 1: will turn around. Some of you. Right now you're about 411 00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:29,880 Speaker 1: to walk in to one of your appointed times. Keep praying, 412 00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:33,639 Speaker 1: keep believing, keep being your very best. Your set time 413 00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:37,159 Speaker 1: is closer than you think. I was reading about a 414 00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:40,960 Speaker 1: young man that set out to swim across the English Channel. 415 00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:44,040 Speaker 1: This was many years ago. It had never been done before. 416 00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:47,800 Speaker 1: The channel is twenty three miles long. It takes between 417 00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:52,119 Speaker 1: twelve and fourteen hours to swim. It's extremely dangerous. The 418 00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:56,159 Speaker 1: water temperature is very cold, the current is strong. Not 419 00:23:56,240 --> 00:23:58,960 Speaker 1: only that, there are sharks and jellyfish other things to 420 00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:02,800 Speaker 1: deal with. Several people had attempted this before. They had 421 00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:05,680 Speaker 1: not only not been successful, but they had lost their 422 00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:09,399 Speaker 1: lives in trying. This young man started out. He was 423 00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:13,439 Speaker 1: in great shape, so determined. He swam an hour and 424 00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:16,280 Speaker 1: two hours, three hours, four hours, five hours, and he 425 00:24:16,359 --> 00:24:18,960 Speaker 1: began to get tired. He was in great pain, but 426 00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:21,919 Speaker 1: he wanted it so badly he just kept on keeping on. 427 00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:26,720 Speaker 1: Late in the day, an unusually thick fog rolled in 428 00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:29,040 Speaker 1: to where he could barely see in front of him. 429 00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:33,159 Speaker 1: He swam hour after hour in this heavy fog. He 430 00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:36,000 Speaker 1: lost sight of the other side, and he began to 431 00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:39,920 Speaker 1: slowly get discouraged. Finally, he couldn't take it any longer. 432 00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:42,560 Speaker 1: He was so cold, and he didn't even know where 433 00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:45,840 Speaker 1: he was, so he decided to quit, and he gave up. 434 00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:49,159 Speaker 1: So a little boat traveling beside him. He crawled into it, 435 00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:52,520 Speaker 1: and as they rowed to the other side, much to 436 00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:57,320 Speaker 1: his amazement, he discovered he was less than fifty yards 437 00:24:57,359 --> 00:25:01,280 Speaker 1: from the shore, less than fifty words from making history. 438 00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:04,080 Speaker 1: Had he known he was so close, he would have 439 00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:07,960 Speaker 1: never given up so soon. Like this, young man, many 440 00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:11,639 Speaker 1: of you are much closer than you think. Right around 441 00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:14,960 Speaker 1: the corner, you're gonna see the situation turn around. You're 442 00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:17,320 Speaker 1: gonna get the breaks that you've been praying about. You're 443 00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:20,920 Speaker 1: gonna see your health begin to improve. The most difficult 444 00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:24,720 Speaker 1: time is always right before the victory. And things may 445 00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:27,840 Speaker 1: be a little foggy in your life today. You look 446 00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:30,280 Speaker 1: out and you don't see anything good in your future 447 00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:33,520 Speaker 1: doesn't look like it's ever gonna work out. You're tired, 448 00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:36,280 Speaker 1: You've done your best, but you're ready to just call 449 00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:39,600 Speaker 1: it quits. But let me challenge you. Don't give up 450 00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:43,919 Speaker 1: fifty yards before your destiny. Your appointed time is coming. 451 00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:45,520 Speaker 1: It's right up ahead of you. 452 00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:47,320 Speaker 2: Now. 453 00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:50,480 Speaker 1: You gotta dig your heels in, get your second wind, 454 00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:53,520 Speaker 1: and say I've come too far to stop now. God 455 00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:56,199 Speaker 1: is in complete control. He's brought me through in the 456 00:25:56,240 --> 00:25:58,800 Speaker 1: past and I know he'll bring me through again. I'm 457 00:25:58,800 --> 00:26:02,080 Speaker 1: gonna keep pressing full word, knowing that my due season 458 00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:05,480 Speaker 1: is on his way. If you do that, God promises 459 00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:08,760 Speaker 1: it won't be one second late. Friends, we all have 460 00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:12,080 Speaker 1: to wait. But let's wait the right way with expectancy. 461 00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:16,240 Speaker 1: Let's wait knowing that the appointed time has already been established. 462 00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:19,119 Speaker 1: Many of you have been standing on a promise for 463 00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:22,159 Speaker 1: a long time. You need to get ready. God is 464 00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:24,160 Speaker 1: about to do for you what he did for Sarah. 465 00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:27,159 Speaker 1: He's gonna show up in your life in amazing ways. 466 00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:29,680 Speaker 1: You're about to come into one of your set times. 467 00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:32,800 Speaker 1: Let me just declare this over you. In your future, 468 00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:36,560 Speaker 1: you're gonna come into a set time of promotion, a 469 00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:40,520 Speaker 1: set time of supernatural opportunities, a set time where you 470 00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:44,200 Speaker 1: meet the right people, a set time where your health 471 00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:48,240 Speaker 1: is restored, a set time where you accomplish your goals, 472 00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:52,560 Speaker 1: a set time where you fulfill every God given dream. 473 00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:55,119 Speaker 1: I believe it. I declare it over each one of 474 00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:57,800 Speaker 1: you in the name of Jesus. And if you receive it, 475 00:26:57,920 --> 00:27:02,800 Speaker 1: can you say amen? And amen? Amen? Well, we never 476 00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:06,040 Speaker 1: like to close our broadcast without giving you an opportunity 477 00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:08,560 Speaker 1: to make Jesus, the Lord of your life. Would you 478 00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:12,480 Speaker 1: pray with me? Just say, Lord Jesus, I'll repent of 479 00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:17,159 Speaker 1: my sins. Come into my heart. I make you my 480 00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:21,200 Speaker 1: Lord and savior. Friends, if you prayed that simple prayer, 481 00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:23,520 Speaker 1: we believe you got born again. Get in a good 482 00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:26,399 Speaker 1: Bible based church, Keep God first place. He's going to 483 00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:28,440 Speaker 1: do amazing things in your life. 484 00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:33,679 Speaker 2: God has put a specific dream in your heart. Maybe 485 00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:37,399 Speaker 2: it's a dream for a better career, a blessing that 486 00:27:37,520 --> 00:27:40,960 Speaker 2: enables you to bless others, to be in a healthy, 487 00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:45,640 Speaker 2: loving relationship, to launch your own business or ministry endeavor. 488 00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:49,800 Speaker 2: We all have dreams, but sometimes set backs and opposition 489 00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:52,639 Speaker 2: can rob us of our dreams.
