I promise you we'll make you feel right 10 00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:27,160 Speaker 1: at home. I like to start with something funny, and 11 00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:30,080 Speaker 1: I heard about this elderly gentleman. He had had a 12 00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:33,400 Speaker 1: hearing problem his whole life. He went to the doctor 13 00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:36,080 Speaker 1: and was fitted with this new, state of the art 14 00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:39,640 Speaker 1: hearing aid where he could hear one hundred percent. A 15 00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:41,760 Speaker 1: few months later he went back for a check up. 16 00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:45,279 Speaker 1: The doctor said, Wow, You're hearing is perfect. I bet 17 00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:47,920 Speaker 1: your family is so excited that you can hear again. 18 00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:51,320 Speaker 1: He said, no, I haven't told my family. I just 19 00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:54,360 Speaker 1: sit around and listen to the different conversations and I've 20 00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:58,800 Speaker 1: changed my will three times. Say it like you mean it. 21 00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:02,000 Speaker 1: This is my vibe. I am what it says, I am, 22 00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:04,840 Speaker 1: I have what it says I have. I can do 23 00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:07,480 Speaker 1: what it says I can do. Today I will be 24 00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:11,360 Speaker 1: talked the word of God. I boldly confess my mind 25 00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:14,679 Speaker 1: is alert, my heart is receptive. I will never be 26 00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:19,399 Speaker 1: the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you. I want 27 00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:23,680 Speaker 1: to talk to you today about buried alive. Years ago, 28 00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:26,760 Speaker 1: there was a forty six year old man in a 29 00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:30,399 Speaker 1: small village in Romania that was about to be buried 30 00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:34,639 Speaker 1: in the funeral home. His family and friends walked past 31 00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:39,440 Speaker 1: the open casket, grieving and paying their last respects. After 32 00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:42,720 Speaker 1: the loved ones said their goodbyes, they went home and 33 00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:47,840 Speaker 1: prepared for the burial. The next day, something astonishing happened. 34 00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:51,320 Speaker 1: The man woke up, He got out of the coffin 35 00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:55,120 Speaker 1: and walked back home. When neighbors saw him, they nearly 36 00:01:55,200 --> 00:02:00,520 Speaker 1: passed out. Family members were ecstatic. They couldn't believe their eyes. 37 00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:05,360 Speaker 1: The doctor who signed the death certificate couldn't understand it. 38 00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:09,400 Speaker 1: He couldn't find a pulse. The man had no vital signs. 39 00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:13,760 Speaker 1: Their only explanation is he had fallen into a temporary 40 00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:19,839 Speaker 1: diabetic coma. He was almost buried alive. I wonder how 41 00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:23,920 Speaker 1: many times we're doing like them. And burying things alive. 42 00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:27,920 Speaker 1: We thought the dream was dead. We tried, but the 43 00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:31,600 Speaker 1: door didn't open. We didn't get any good breaks. It's 44 00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:35,600 Speaker 1: been years. Now we're convinced. We'll never be promoted. Never 45 00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:40,120 Speaker 1: start the business, never write the book. We bury relationships. 46 00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:43,840 Speaker 1: This marriage is done. Who we don't get along is 47 00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:48,560 Speaker 1: never going to last. Sometimes we bury promises, Joel, I'll 48 00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:52,240 Speaker 1: never get well, Never break the addiction, never live an 49 00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:57,320 Speaker 1: abundant life. At one time we believed we knew. God 50 00:02:57,360 --> 00:02:59,840 Speaker 1: put it in our heart. We talked like it was 51 00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:03,600 Speaker 1: to happen. We took steps of faith, but now we 52 00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:07,680 Speaker 1: don't see any signs of life. All the circumstances say 53 00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:11,280 Speaker 1: it's too late, so we buried it. The good news 54 00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:15,200 Speaker 1: is it's buried alive. You may not be able to 55 00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:18,280 Speaker 1: see it, but it still has a pulse. If you'll 56 00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:22,000 Speaker 1: get your passion back, God will still bring it to pass. 57 00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:26,240 Speaker 1: Just because you gave up doesn't mean God gave up. 58 00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:31,480 Speaker 1: God doesn't abort dreams. He doesn't start something and not 59 00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:35,520 Speaker 1: finish it. And like this man that everyone thought was dead, 60 00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:39,240 Speaker 1: but he divided the odds and woke up, you're going 61 00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:42,720 Speaker 1: to see God wake up some things you thought were dead. 62 00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:46,680 Speaker 1: You thought that marriage was dead. God's about to wake 63 00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:51,400 Speaker 1: it up. Your happiest, most fulfilled days in that relationship 64 00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:54,680 Speaker 1: are still in front of you. You thought you'd never 65 00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:58,320 Speaker 1: meet the right person, you'd go through life single. God's 66 00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:01,000 Speaker 1: about to wake up your dream. You're going to meet 67 00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:04,360 Speaker 1: someone so amazing you'll know it was the hand of God. 68 00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:08,480 Speaker 1: Or maybe you thought you were too old to accomplish 69 00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:12,560 Speaker 1: your goal. You convinced yourself it's too late. You've missed 70 00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:17,240 Speaker 1: too many opportunities. God is about to surprise you. That 71 00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:20,640 Speaker 1: dream is about to come back to life. You may 72 00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:22,880 Speaker 1: have put it in a coma. You may have talked 73 00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:26,280 Speaker 1: yourself out of it. God has you hearing this so 74 00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:29,120 Speaker 1: you can be taught back into it. He wouldn't have 75 00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:31,920 Speaker 1: put the promise in your heart if he wasn't going 76 00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:34,880 Speaker 1: to bring it to pass. It may not have happened 77 00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:38,640 Speaker 1: on your timetable or the way you thought, but make 78 00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:42,880 Speaker 1: no mistake, it is still alive. What God started, He's 79 00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:45,800 Speaker 1: going to finish what he promised you is still on 80 00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:50,120 Speaker 1: the way. It's going to happen suddenly. You didn't see 81 00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:53,520 Speaker 1: it coming. Not only are you going to be amazed, 82 00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:57,200 Speaker 1: but people around You are going to be amazed, especially 83 00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:01,240 Speaker 1: those that have discounted you. Thought you could never be promoted, 84 00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:04,760 Speaker 1: you could never take new ground. Don't worry. When God 85 00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:09,080 Speaker 1: wakes up what's been lying dormant in you, the potential, 86 00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:13,480 Speaker 1: the talent, the businesses, the dreams, the ideas, the spouse. 87 00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:16,839 Speaker 1: People are going to stand in awe. They're going to 88 00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:20,599 Speaker 1: know the hand of God is on your life. Now 89 00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:24,600 Speaker 1: do your part. The dreams that you buried, you need 90 00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:28,119 Speaker 1: to dig them back up. Who told you they were dead? 91 00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:32,000 Speaker 1: Who convinced you that you can't get well, you can't 92 00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:35,279 Speaker 1: meet the right person, that you'll never accomplish your dream. 93 00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:39,960 Speaker 1: Those voices did not come from our God. That is 94 00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:43,960 Speaker 1: the enemy trying to deceive you into settling for less 95 00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:46,960 Speaker 1: than you were created to be. He knows you have 96 00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:50,640 Speaker 1: seeds of greatness. He knows there are amazing things in 97 00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:54,760 Speaker 1: your future. It's time to get the shovel out whatever 98 00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:58,680 Speaker 1: you buried, whatever you've given up on, whatever you've let 99 00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:02,960 Speaker 1: people delay, disappointments, talk you out of I'm asking you 100 00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:05,960 Speaker 1: to dig it back up. How do you dig it up? 101 00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:09,599 Speaker 1: Start talking like it's going to happen. Start thanking God 102 00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:13,640 Speaker 1: that is on the way. Every circumstance may say you'll 103 00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:17,200 Speaker 1: never get well. Just accept it. If you agree with 104 00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:20,919 Speaker 1: that and go around discourage, you're putting more dirt on 105 00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:25,279 Speaker 1: the promise. You're burying it deeper. But when you go around, Father, 106 00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:28,120 Speaker 1: thank you that you are restoring health back into me. 107 00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:31,400 Speaker 1: Think you that the number of my days you will fulfill, 108 00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:35,279 Speaker 1: you're uncovering the promise. Or when those thoughts tell you 109 00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:38,320 Speaker 1: that you've reached your limits, you'll never go any further. 110 00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:42,400 Speaker 1: Turn it around, Father, you said, my latter days will 111 00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:45,279 Speaker 1: be better than my former days. You said, the path 112 00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:48,800 Speaker 1: of the righteous gets brighter and brighter. That's how you 113 00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:53,040 Speaker 1: remove the dirt. As a young man, God gave Moses 114 00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:57,000 Speaker 1: a dream that he would deliver the Israelites out of slavery. 115 00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:00,320 Speaker 1: He was excited. He knew he was good to do 116 00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:04,279 Speaker 1: great things. But Moses made a mistake. He killed a 117 00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:08,880 Speaker 1: man that was mistreating a Hebrew slave. Someone saw him. 118 00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:12,800 Speaker 1: Moses had to flee for his life. He spent forty 119 00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:15,679 Speaker 1: years on the back side of the desert in hiding. 120 00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:21,440 Speaker 1: You can imagine how disappointed and discouraged Moses was. He 121 00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:24,720 Speaker 1: knew God put the promise in his heart, but he 122 00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:27,960 Speaker 1: blew it. He was his own fault. He thought he 123 00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:31,040 Speaker 1: had missed his chance. He did what many of us do. 124 00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:35,720 Speaker 1: He buried his dream. But the scripture says God's calling 125 00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:40,840 Speaker 1: on your life is irrevocable. That means God doesn't change 126 00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:44,960 Speaker 1: his mind. God already knew every mistake you would make. 127 00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:48,400 Speaker 1: He knew every person that would do you wrong, every 128 00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:52,040 Speaker 1: bad break. He took that all into account when he 129 00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:56,320 Speaker 1: called you. You may have buried some dreams, you think 130 00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:59,280 Speaker 1: they're dead. It was your own fault. But God is 131 00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:02,800 Speaker 1: so merciful. At the right time, He's going to wake 132 00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:06,640 Speaker 1: them back up. What you had in the coffin, what 133 00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:10,440 Speaker 1: you've already said your goodbyes to or your time is coming. 134 00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:16,760 Speaker 1: Your mistakes didn't cancel your destiny. People not being for you, delays, 135 00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:21,840 Speaker 1: disappointments cannot stop what God has purposed for your life, 136 00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:25,080 Speaker 1: and everything that's happened to you is a part of 137 00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:28,040 Speaker 1: the plan to get you to where you're supposed to be. 138 00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:31,720 Speaker 1: You may not understand it, it may not have been fair. 139 00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:35,200 Speaker 1: You don't see how it can happen. But God is 140 00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:39,559 Speaker 1: in control. He's working behind the scenes right now, lining 141 00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:43,040 Speaker 1: up things in your favor, arranging the good breaks that 142 00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:46,880 Speaker 1: you need. I can see by faith, dreams coming back 143 00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:50,640 Speaker 1: to life. I can see marriages coming back to life, 144 00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:54,200 Speaker 1: Businesses that look like they were done coming back to life. 145 00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:57,439 Speaker 1: You may have given up on what God promised you, 146 00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:01,240 Speaker 1: but God didn't give up. He doesn't change his mind. 147 00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:05,280 Speaker 1: At eighty years of age, Moses was out in the desert, 148 00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:10,800 Speaker 1: minding his own business. Suddenly a bush exploded caught fire 149 00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:14,000 Speaker 1: in front of him. A voice boomed out, Moses, take 150 00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:18,520 Speaker 1: off your sandals. You're on holy ground. God told him 151 00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:22,000 Speaker 1: to go, tell the Pharaoh to let the Israelites go. 152 00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:27,040 Speaker 1: I can imagine Moses nearly passing out, saying, I thought 153 00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:31,120 Speaker 1: this dream was dead. I buried it. I had a funeral. 154 00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:34,520 Speaker 1: I put flowers on the grave every year. God, you 155 00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:38,560 Speaker 1: mean this whole time, it was still alive. After I 156 00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:42,439 Speaker 1: blew it. After forty years, you mean, God, you're still 157 00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:45,960 Speaker 1: going to do what you said. That's the way our 158 00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:50,760 Speaker 1: God is promises that you think are dead. Things that 159 00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:54,160 Speaker 1: you dreamed about. At one time you were excited. You 160 00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:57,599 Speaker 1: knew that was your purpose. But now there's been mistakes, 161 00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:02,839 Speaker 1: disappointments let you down. You worked hard, the doors didn't open. 162 00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:06,400 Speaker 1: God is saying to you what he said to Moses. 163 00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:10,480 Speaker 1: That dream is not only still alive, but I'm still 164 00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:13,040 Speaker 1: going to bring it to pass. I'm still going to 165 00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:16,320 Speaker 1: heal you. I'm still going to promote you. I'm still 166 00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:18,880 Speaker 1: going to bring the right person. I'm still going to 167 00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:22,240 Speaker 1: take you where you couldn't go on your own. The 168 00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:25,320 Speaker 1: scripture talks about how God will give us the secret 169 00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:28,840 Speaker 1: petitions of our heart. These are the dreams and the 170 00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:32,360 Speaker 1: promises that God whispers to us in the night. They 171 00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:35,600 Speaker 1: seem too good to be true. We don't tell anyone 172 00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:39,240 Speaker 1: about them. Nobody would believe they would ever come to pass. 173 00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:43,560 Speaker 1: They seem so unlikely. But God likes to do far 174 00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:47,880 Speaker 1: beyond what you can accomplish on your own. If you 175 00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:51,440 Speaker 1: can reach your dreams by yourself, in your own talent, 176 00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:54,959 Speaker 1: your own strength, your own ability, then you don't need God. 177 00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:59,440 Speaker 1: What God will speak to your spirit many times will 178 00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:03,720 Speaker 1: be so big, so far out, that it's easy to 179 00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:07,760 Speaker 1: dismiss and think that could never happen. And too often 180 00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:11,960 Speaker 1: we are burying alive all these amazing things that God 181 00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:16,400 Speaker 1: wants to do. Psalm thirty one says God has blessings 182 00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:21,040 Speaker 1: stored up for the righteous. I can imagine in heaven 183 00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:25,360 Speaker 1: there's this huge warehouse filled with all kinds of boxes, 184 00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:29,839 Speaker 1: some of which have your name on them, blessings stored up, 185 00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:37,120 Speaker 1: promotion buildings, houses, opportunities, ideas, children, spouse things God has 186 00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:40,200 Speaker 1: promised you. But what if when we get to heaven, 187 00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:43,800 Speaker 1: we go to the warehouse and we look and there's 188 00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:47,200 Speaker 1: the promise God spoke to us as a child, but 189 00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:50,240 Speaker 1: it was never delivered. I thought it was too big. 190 00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:54,760 Speaker 1: And there's the healing God promised, but the medical report 191 00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:57,760 Speaker 1: convinced me I wouldn't get well. There's the house I 192 00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:00,920 Speaker 1: always dreamed about, but I didn't see how it could happen. 193 00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:05,960 Speaker 1: What held it back? We quit believing. We let circumstances 194 00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:09,280 Speaker 1: talk us out of it. The good news is all 195 00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:13,840 Speaker 1: those blessings God has stored up for you are still available. 196 00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:17,200 Speaker 1: It is not too late. They are on the shelf 197 00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:21,079 Speaker 1: waiting for delivery. Now I'm asking you to stir your 198 00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:25,080 Speaker 1: faith up. God. The circumstances may be against me, but 199 00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:28,320 Speaker 1: I know you are for me. The medical report doesn't 200 00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:31,640 Speaker 1: look good, but God, I know you're my healer. God. 201 00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:33,960 Speaker 1: I don't have the funds for my dream, but I 202 00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:38,199 Speaker 1: know you own it. All by myself. I'm stuck. But God, 203 00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:42,640 Speaker 1: with you, I know I'm unstoppable. You and God are 204 00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:47,520 Speaker 1: a majority. Don't go through life with dreams buried alive. 205 00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:52,280 Speaker 1: When you believe, that's what allows God to release those 206 00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:55,480 Speaker 1: blessings that He has stored up for you. As a 207 00:12:55,480 --> 00:12:58,120 Speaker 1: little boy, a friend of mine had a dream to 208 00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:01,120 Speaker 1: be on the radio. Would come home from school at 209 00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:03,880 Speaker 1: ten years old and go down to the basement at 210 00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:07,280 Speaker 1: his house. They had some mics and headphones and he 211 00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:10,160 Speaker 1: would do a radio program. They had these real to 212 00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:13,640 Speaker 1: real recorders and he would interview friends and do the 213 00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:17,719 Speaker 1: news the weather. God put that desire in him as 214 00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:21,960 Speaker 1: a young boy. At fourteen, he was accepted as an 215 00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:27,400 Speaker 1: intern at a very prestigious radio station. He was so excited. 216 00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:31,160 Speaker 1: This was a dream come true, But just before it started, 217 00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:35,400 Speaker 1: he was transferred to a different school. This new school 218 00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:39,079 Speaker 1: didn't have an agreement with the station to have interns, 219 00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:42,280 Speaker 1: so he never got to go. He was mad at 220 00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:45,760 Speaker 1: his parents for making him change schools. He was mad 221 00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:49,680 Speaker 1: at God because it didn't work out. He was so disappointed, 222 00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:54,439 Speaker 1: so upset he quit doing radio. He buried the dream well. 223 00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:57,120 Speaker 1: Several decades had passed and He went on to become 224 00:13:57,160 --> 00:14:00,960 Speaker 1: a pastor of a large church, very successful. After serving 225 00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:04,640 Speaker 1: there for many years, he resigned eventually came to work 226 00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:08,520 Speaker 1: for us. He heads up our pastor's network. When we 227 00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:11,440 Speaker 1: do our Nights of Hope, the events on the Road, 228 00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:16,320 Speaker 1: the Serious XM radio program always starts thirty minutes before 229 00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:19,880 Speaker 1: the actual event. We needed someone to host it, to 230 00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:23,200 Speaker 1: do interviews talk with the pastors, and I thought this 231 00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:25,840 Speaker 1: friend of mine, Phil Munsey, he would be perfect. So 232 00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:28,560 Speaker 1: he's been doing it for the last few years. About 233 00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:32,280 Speaker 1: a year ago, before the event in New York, he 234 00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:34,600 Speaker 1: sat down at the table and was about to go 235 00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:37,760 Speaker 1: on the air. When he put his headphones on and 236 00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:41,080 Speaker 1: leaned toward the mic, he heard God whisper to him. 237 00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:44,120 Speaker 1: I didn't forget about the dream I put in you 238 00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:48,960 Speaker 1: as a little boy. He suddenly realized he was doing 239 00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:53,560 Speaker 1: what he dreamed about forty five years earlier. He had 240 00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:58,400 Speaker 1: buried it. He thought it was dead because of his parents' decisions, 241 00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:02,120 Speaker 1: because of the school, because of the bad breaks, that 242 00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:05,880 Speaker 1: it would never happen. But God doesn't start something and 243 00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:09,280 Speaker 1: not finish it. The dreams God put in your heart 244 00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:13,960 Speaker 1: never die. You may have gone through disappointments. It's been 245 00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:17,160 Speaker 1: a long time. People did you wrong. What God has 246 00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:20,880 Speaker 1: stored up for you is still in the way. Sometimes, 247 00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:24,520 Speaker 1: like with Phil, God will surprise you. You thought it was 248 00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:27,600 Speaker 1: too late. You thought you've missed your chance. You weren't 249 00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:31,560 Speaker 1: believing for it. But God hasn't forgotten about the secret 250 00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:34,960 Speaker 1: petitions of your heart. He knows what he whispered to 251 00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:37,960 Speaker 1: you in the night. He knows the desires he put 252 00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:41,720 Speaker 1: in you that you've not told anyone about. God saw 253 00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:45,040 Speaker 1: what didn't work out, He saw the doors that closed, 254 00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:48,920 Speaker 1: the people that left you. That dream didn't die because 255 00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:52,360 Speaker 1: of what people did. It didn't die because of mistakes 256 00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:57,080 Speaker 1: you made. Forty years later, God brought moses dream to pass. 257 00:15:57,840 --> 00:16:01,560 Speaker 1: Forty five years later, God brought Phil's dream to pass. 258 00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:05,440 Speaker 1: Neither one of them were expecting it. Moses didn't think 259 00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:09,040 Speaker 1: he deserved it. Phil had forgotten about it. That's the 260 00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:13,160 Speaker 1: goodness of our God. Dreams, We bury it, promises, we 261 00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:16,200 Speaker 1: give up on. God could say, fine, you give up. 262 00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:18,640 Speaker 1: I'm gonna give up. You don't believe in me, I'm 263 00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:21,680 Speaker 1: not gonna believe in you. But God is so merciful, 264 00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:25,360 Speaker 1: so full of kindness, Even when we bury it. It 265 00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:29,000 Speaker 1: still doesn't die. That promise you think is too far 266 00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:32,320 Speaker 1: gone you don't deserve it is still on the way. 267 00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:35,040 Speaker 1: In the scripture, God gave a man by the names 268 00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:38,880 Speaker 1: of Arubabel a dream to rebuild the temple. The whole 269 00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:42,080 Speaker 1: city had been destroyed, but he went back home and 270 00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:46,120 Speaker 1: successfully laid the foundation. He got off to a great start, 271 00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:49,440 Speaker 1: but people were against him. They went to the authorities 272 00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:53,840 Speaker 1: God a decree forcing him to stop. I can imagine 273 00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:56,640 Speaker 1: he went out to the property and saw the empty 274 00:16:56,720 --> 00:17:01,560 Speaker 1: foundation month after month, year after year. He was tempted 275 00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:04,439 Speaker 1: to think, it's just not meant to be. I tried. 276 00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:07,560 Speaker 1: I gave it my best. It didn't work out. He 277 00:17:07,560 --> 00:17:10,800 Speaker 1: could have buried the dream. No signs of things changing. 278 00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:16,040 Speaker 1: Ten years later, the prophet Zachariah showed up. He said, 279 00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:19,800 Speaker 1: in effect, Zerubebel, God sent me all this way to 280 00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:24,520 Speaker 1: give you two words, begin again. He was saying, it 281 00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:28,760 Speaker 1: may look dead, it's been years with no activity. People 282 00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:31,640 Speaker 1: against you, your own thoughts telling you it's never going 283 00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:35,439 Speaker 1: to happen. But God is saying, if you'll begin again, 284 00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:39,960 Speaker 1: if you'll start dreaming again, if you'll start believing again, 285 00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:43,040 Speaker 1: if you'll start taking steps of faith, then God will 286 00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:47,440 Speaker 1: still bring it to pass. When Zerubabel heard this, something 287 00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:51,960 Speaker 1: came alive on the inside. The scripture says, your word, 288 00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:55,680 Speaker 1: O Lord, is like fire shut up in my bones. 289 00:17:56,440 --> 00:17:59,639 Speaker 1: The dreams God put in you, the promises, they're like 290 00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:03,720 Speaker 1: fire shut up in you. Here's the key. You can't 291 00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:07,239 Speaker 1: put that fire out. You can push it down, you 292 00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:11,560 Speaker 1: can ignore it. It can get buried under discouragement, buried 293 00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:15,720 Speaker 1: under mistakes, but that fire is still burning. You know 294 00:18:15,760 --> 00:18:19,480 Speaker 1: what I'm doing today. I'm fanning your flame. I'm stirring 295 00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:23,840 Speaker 1: up what's already in you. I believe that flame is growing. 296 00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:27,359 Speaker 1: I believe you're about to see a dream that you 297 00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:31,760 Speaker 1: buried come to pass. God's about to do something unusual. 298 00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:36,800 Speaker 1: After ten years of seeing nothing good happening, no good breaks, 299 00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:42,320 Speaker 1: only activity was persecution, opposition, zarube Bel came to a 300 00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:46,000 Speaker 1: destiny moment where God was saying, this is your time. 301 00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:50,920 Speaker 1: The question was was he going to agree with Zachariah 302 00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:54,320 Speaker 1: and say, yes, I believe I'm getting my passion back, 303 00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:57,840 Speaker 1: I'm getting my vision back, or was he going to 304 00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:01,040 Speaker 1: talk himself out of it. You would have thought, zachari 305 00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:03,919 Speaker 1: you really think I should start building again. You know 306 00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:06,520 Speaker 1: how long it's been, you know how many people are 307 00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:10,000 Speaker 1: against me. He would have missed the miracle. He made 308 00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:13,760 Speaker 1: this decision to get in agreement with God. He got 309 00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:16,720 Speaker 1: his shovel out, but before he could dig on the 310 00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:19,560 Speaker 1: temple grounds, he had to first dig up his dream. 311 00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:23,400 Speaker 1: He had to realize it was still alive. He started 312 00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:27,840 Speaker 1: building and things fell into place. Before long, they completed 313 00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:31,960 Speaker 1: the temple, a great victory. I believe this is a 314 00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:37,360 Speaker 1: destiny moment for you. What's incomplete in your life, Dreams 315 00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:41,040 Speaker 1: that haven't worked out, promises you've given up on. You 316 00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:45,200 Speaker 1: could leave them buried, think it's been too long, or 317 00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:48,800 Speaker 1: you can decide, like Zaruba Bell, I'm going to begin again. 318 00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:52,920 Speaker 1: I'm gonna dream again. I'm going to believe again. I'm 319 00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:56,320 Speaker 1: going to stretch again. Maybe you tried to buy the 320 00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:59,320 Speaker 1: house and it didn't work out. That was years ago. 321 00:20:00,040 --> 00:20:03,359 Speaker 1: God is saying try again. Or at one time you 322 00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:06,280 Speaker 1: believed you could break the addiction, but it's been a 323 00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:10,520 Speaker 1: long time you've gotten comfortable. God is saying begin again. 324 00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:14,000 Speaker 1: This is your time. Or you had a dream to 325 00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:17,359 Speaker 1: do something great, to break out of the mold, to 326 00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:22,000 Speaker 1: leave your mark, but nobody supported you. Your family didn't encourage, 327 00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:25,639 Speaker 1: it didn't work out. Whatever you buried, I'm asking you 328 00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:28,879 Speaker 1: to dig it back up. You thought it was dead. 329 00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:31,760 Speaker 1: You didn't see any signs of life. But it's not 330 00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:35,520 Speaker 1: over until God says it's over. If you'll begin again, 331 00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:39,639 Speaker 1: you're going to see favor like you've never seen. Friend 332 00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:42,280 Speaker 1: of mine was in a taxi cabin. He struck up 333 00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:46,359 Speaker 1: a conversation with the driver, who was from Slovenia. He 334 00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:49,440 Speaker 1: asked him what he did when he wasn't driving taxis. 335 00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:53,600 Speaker 1: The man said, I swim rivers. He handed my friend 336 00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:56,800 Speaker 1: a book. His picture was on the front. The title 337 00:20:57,000 --> 00:21:01,000 Speaker 1: was the Man who swammed the Amazon. At fifty two 338 00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:05,600 Speaker 1: years old, this man swam three thousand miles the whole 339 00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:10,480 Speaker 1: Amazon from its source all the way to the ocean. Now, 340 00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:17,160 Speaker 1: the Amazon is extremely dangerous, filled with crocodiles, anacondas, bacteria, 341 00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:21,800 Speaker 1: plus there are notorious pirates all along the way. Yet 342 00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:26,080 Speaker 1: every morning, for sixty six days, this man would go 343 00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:30,760 Speaker 1: out and swim till nightfall. At one point, doctors told 344 00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:33,840 Speaker 1: him his blood pressure was too high to swim, but 345 00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:37,760 Speaker 1: he got in the river. He spent many restless nights 346 00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:41,399 Speaker 1: nauseous and chilled, but the next morning he got in 347 00:21:41,440 --> 00:21:46,480 Speaker 1: the river. He contracted a brain virus that gave him hallucinations, 348 00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:49,600 Speaker 1: but he got in the river. My friend was so 349 00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:53,639 Speaker 1: inspired he asked him what was next. The men said, 350 00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:57,280 Speaker 1: I'm going to swim around the world, from the Atlantic 351 00:21:57,600 --> 00:22:01,840 Speaker 1: to the Pacific. He's six years old now and he's 352 00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:06,200 Speaker 1: trying to raise twenty seven million dollars. Nobody has ever 353 00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:10,760 Speaker 1: swammed the world. Experts tell him it's impossible. This man 354 00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:14,440 Speaker 1: could have easily buried the dream. Yet every day he's 355 00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:17,280 Speaker 1: talking like it's gonna happen. He's acting like it's going 356 00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:21,520 Speaker 1: to happen, taking steps of faith. My friend is a pastor. 357 00:22:22,160 --> 00:22:25,560 Speaker 1: He thought to himself, If this sixty two year old 358 00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:29,760 Speaker 1: taxi cab driver can still be believing to swim the 359 00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:33,600 Speaker 1: world and to raise millions, then I can believe to 360 00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:36,280 Speaker 1: raise the funds to pay my church off, and to 361 00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:41,600 Speaker 1: impact the world. I can believe to accomplish my dreams. Friends, 362 00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:46,399 Speaker 1: it's time to swim your amazon. Whatever God put in 363 00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:49,520 Speaker 1: your heart, go after it. You have to get in 364 00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:53,520 Speaker 1: the river. Quit looking at how impossible it is, how 365 00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:56,000 Speaker 1: long it's been, what you don't have, and get in 366 00:22:56,040 --> 00:23:00,480 Speaker 1: the river. Shake off the disappointments who left you what 367 00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:03,280 Speaker 1: you didn't get, and get in the river. You have 368 00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:07,520 Speaker 1: greatness in you. You weren't created to live and die, 369 00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:11,040 Speaker 1: and nobody knew you were here. You are destined to 370 00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:14,720 Speaker 1: leave your mark. God wouldn't have put the dream in 371 00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:18,679 Speaker 1: you if he had not already equipped you and empowered you. 372 00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:22,119 Speaker 1: Now get in the river and let your talent shine. 373 00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:25,320 Speaker 1: Get in the river and show the world what God 374 00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:29,119 Speaker 1: put in you. Get in the river and build that orphanage. 375 00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:33,000 Speaker 1: Get in the river and take new ground. God wants 376 00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:36,040 Speaker 1: to show out in your life. He wants to take 377 00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:41,240 Speaker 1: you further than you've ever imagined. In the scripture, Ezekiel 378 00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:45,320 Speaker 1: had a vision of this valley filled with dry bones. 379 00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:49,880 Speaker 1: Was a huge graveyard with thousands of bones on the ground. 380 00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:55,399 Speaker 1: Bones represent no life and what's dead. God ask Ezekiel, 381 00:23:56,040 --> 00:24:00,600 Speaker 1: do you believe these dead bones can live? Ezekiel could 382 00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:04,480 Speaker 1: have said, God, that's impossible. They're bones, they're already dead. 383 00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:08,040 Speaker 1: It's too late. In other words, God, the medical report's 384 00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:11,520 Speaker 1: not good. God, business is slow. I don't have the 385 00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:15,199 Speaker 1: funds for my dream. God said, in effect, Ezekiel, I 386 00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:17,919 Speaker 1: don't want to hear about all the circumstances. I just 387 00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:22,800 Speaker 1: want to know. Do you believe? Ezekiel finally got rid 388 00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:27,679 Speaker 1: of the excuses and said, yes, Lord, I believe Ezekiel 389 00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:32,320 Speaker 1: spoke to these bones. In this vision, these bones begin 390 00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:38,840 Speaker 1: to join together. Organs came skin form like a movie. 391 00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:43,080 Speaker 1: They morphed into people. God breathed life into them, and 392 00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:47,119 Speaker 1: they stood up like a vast army. Well, the Israelites 393 00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:50,880 Speaker 1: had been complaining about how big the obstacles were and 394 00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:53,880 Speaker 1: how they'd never make it to the Promised Land. They said, 395 00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:57,560 Speaker 1: all we have are these dry bones. God said Ezekiel, 396 00:24:58,119 --> 00:25:02,280 Speaker 1: you go tell them about to open up their graves. 397 00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:04,959 Speaker 1: I'm going to bring them back to their land, and 398 00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:08,240 Speaker 1: they will know that I am the Lord. You may 399 00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:11,719 Speaker 1: have dreams that you put in the grave, promises that 400 00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:15,080 Speaker 1: you buried. You think there's no way God is saying 401 00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:18,760 Speaker 1: to you, I'm about to open up your graves. I'm 402 00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:21,840 Speaker 1: about to make things happen where you will know I 403 00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:25,399 Speaker 1: am the Lord. What you thought was dead is about 404 00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:28,639 Speaker 1: to come back to life. That marriage you've given up on, 405 00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:33,280 Speaker 1: that business you wanted to start, that house you dreamed about, 406 00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:36,280 Speaker 1: you buried it, You put it in the grave. Get 407 00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:39,480 Speaker 1: ready God's about to open up that grave. What you 408 00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:43,480 Speaker 1: don't realize is you buried it alive. God is about 409 00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:48,119 Speaker 1: to breathe new life into your health, into your finances, 410 00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:52,679 Speaker 1: into your relationships, into your children. Things are going to 411 00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:57,200 Speaker 1: come together that you thought were impossible. Even the secret 412 00:25:57,280 --> 00:26:01,800 Speaker 1: petitions of your heart promises that you forgotten about dreams 413 00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:04,960 Speaker 1: you had as a child. God is about to surprise you. 414 00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:08,000 Speaker 1: He is going to finish what he started. It's not 415 00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:11,440 Speaker 1: too late. You didn't miss your chance. You haven't made 416 00:26:11,480 --> 00:26:16,080 Speaker 1: too many mistakes. Now do your part. Believe again. Whatever 417 00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:18,880 Speaker 1: you buried, I'm asking you to dig it back up. 418 00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:23,440 Speaker 1: If you'll do this, I believe and declare, new doors 419 00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:26,119 Speaker 1: are about to open.

Well, 423 00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:42,760 Speaker 1: I'd like to give you an opportunity to make Jesus 424 00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:45,280 Speaker 1: the lord of your life. Would you pray with me? 425 00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:50,320 Speaker 1: Just say this, Lord Jesus, I repent of my sins. 426 00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:56,120 Speaker 1: Come into my heart. I'll make you my lord and savior. 427 00:26:57,680 --> 00:27:00,000 Speaker 1: If you prayed that simple prayer.
