Speaker 1: joy to come into your homes and if you're ever

11
00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:29,880
Speaker 1: in our area, please stop by and be a part

12
00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:32,600
Speaker 1: of one of our services. These are the finest people

13
00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:35,320
Speaker 1: in all of Houston right here at Lakewood, but we'd

14
00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:38,159
Speaker 1: love to have you come out. Thanks for tuning in today.

15
00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:41,040
Speaker 1: I like to start with something funny, and I heard

16
00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:44,960
Speaker 1: about this lady. She was so stressed out, so overworked.

17
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:48,280
Speaker 1: She needed a break, but she knew her boss wouldn't

18
00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:52,159
Speaker 1: let her off unless she acted crazy. So she stood

19
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:55,520
Speaker 1: on top of her desk put both hands over her

20
00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:58,800
Speaker 1: head like a circle. The boss came in said, what

21
00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:01,920
Speaker 1: are you doing. She said, I'm a light bulb. I'm

22
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:04,759
Speaker 1: putting off light. He said, you need to go home.

23
00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:08,720
Speaker 1: You're not thinking clearly get some rest. She walked out.

24
00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:12,039
Speaker 1: Her coworker started to follow her. The boss said, where

25
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:14,520
Speaker 1: are you going? She said, I'm going home too. I

26
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:18,840
Speaker 1: can't work in the dark. Say it like you mean it.

27
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:22,200
Speaker 1: This is my Bible. I am what it says I am.

28
00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:25,080
Speaker 1: I have what it says I have. I can do

29
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:27,679
Speaker 1: what it says I can do. Today I will be

30
00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:31,480
Speaker 1: taught the word of God. I'll boldly confess my mind

31
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:34,800
Speaker 1: is alert, my heart is receptive. I will never be

32
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:39,920
Speaker 1: the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you. I want

33
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:44,360
Speaker 1: to talk to you today about faithful in the routine.

34
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:47,080
Speaker 1: There are times in life we feel like we're going

35
00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:50,840
Speaker 1: in circles. We're doing the right thing but not making

36
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:55,120
Speaker 1: much progress. We don't see anything changing, and it's easy

37
00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:59,040
Speaker 1: to lose our passion and get discouraged. But one test

38
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:02,560
Speaker 1: we all have to pay past is being faithful when

39
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:06,960
Speaker 1: nothing new is happening. We're just going to work, raising children,

40
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:10,800
Speaker 1: coming home, doing the same thing again. It's easy to

41
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:14,080
Speaker 1: be our best when we're getting good breaks, things are

42
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:17,959
Speaker 1: falling into place. That doesn't take much faith. But what

43
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:21,640
Speaker 1: about when you're working hard but not getting the credit.

44
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:25,720
Speaker 1: You're being your best, but your marriage isn't improving. You're

45
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:30,080
Speaker 1: honoring God but not see an increase. Will you trust

46
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:33,799
Speaker 1: him when it feels like you're going in circles? Will

47
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 1: you stay passionate when you're doing the same thing again

48
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:41,640
Speaker 1: and again. When you're faithful in the routine, something is

49
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:46,320
Speaker 1: happening that you can't see. Your character is being developed,

50
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:51,520
Speaker 1: your spiritual muscles are getting stronger. You're being prepared for

51
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:55,239
Speaker 1: where God is taking you. And the routineness of life

52
00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:59,920
Speaker 1: is not exciting, but it is necessary. You won't be

53
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:03,639
Speaker 1: come all you were created to be without being your

54
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:08,639
Speaker 1: best when it's mundane, being excellent, having a good attitude.

55
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:13,520
Speaker 1: When it's just another ordinary day, nothing exciting is happening.

56
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:18,080
Speaker 1: You're just singing in the choir another sunday, going to

57
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:21,560
Speaker 1: work with a smile. Another week, doing the right thing

58
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:24,960
Speaker 1: with a good attitude. Another month. You could see it

59
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:28,320
Speaker 1: as boring. When is this going to change? But you

60
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:33,160
Speaker 1: understand this principle. You're being prepared and when God can

61
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:37,280
Speaker 1: trust you to be faithful in the ordinary, then he'll

62
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:42,120
Speaker 1: take you into the extraordinary. When you're faithful in average days,

63
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:47,160
Speaker 1: then you will see exceptional days. But sometimes we're frustrated

64
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:50,200
Speaker 1: because we know we have more in us, but we're

65
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:53,760
Speaker 1: not seeing it happen. We don't understand why we're not

66
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:58,320
Speaker 1: making progress. But God will always put bigger things in

67
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:02,360
Speaker 1: your spirit before they come to pass. You may be

68
00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 1: dealing with something mediocre, but God is preparing you for

69
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:10,720
Speaker 1: something great. David was anointed to be the king as

70
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 1: a young man. Then God sent him back to the

71
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:18,400
Speaker 1: shepherd's fields. He had a king's anointing, yet he was

72
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:23,359
Speaker 1: taking care of sheep. Your anointing will supersede where you

73
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:27,440
Speaker 1: are right now. God called David to rule a nation,

74
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:31,479
Speaker 1: but he was doing a menial task day in and

75
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:37,920
Speaker 1: day out, nothing exciting, boring routine. He could have gotten discouraged. God,

76
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:40,360
Speaker 1: why isn't it happening? You said I would be the king.

77
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:44,479
Speaker 1: If he had not passed this test of being faithful

78
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:47,560
Speaker 1: in the routine, he would have never taken the throne.

79
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 1: Like David, you may know you have more in you,

80
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 1: you can feel those seeds of greatness, but you're doing

81
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:59,800
Speaker 1: something menial, something beneath your training. You're being overlooked at

82
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:04,360
Speaker 1: Nobody takes your advice at home, Nobody says thank you.

83
00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:09,600
Speaker 1: Just another ordinary day I'm asking you to be faithful

84
00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:14,479
Speaker 1: where God has you. Now, be faithful in the routine.

85
00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 1: This is where David excelled out in the shepherd's fields.

86
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:21,919
Speaker 1: He didn't slack off, he didn't show up late. He

87
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:25,120
Speaker 1: didn't have a sour attitude, thinking when I get to

88
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:28,440
Speaker 1: where I'm going, then I'll give it my all. When

89
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:31,120
Speaker 1: I take the throne, then I'll show people what I'm

90
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:34,280
Speaker 1: made of. Now he showed what he was made of

91
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:39,679
Speaker 1: when nobody was watching. He understood he wasn't working under people,

92
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:44,080
Speaker 1: he was working under God. He was excellent where God

93
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:48,000
Speaker 1: had him, even though he didn't like it. That's what

94
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:52,200
Speaker 1: led to the throne, all those ordinary days of being

95
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:58,119
Speaker 1: his best. Are you being excellent where God has you? Now? Well, Joel,

96
00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:00,360
Speaker 1: this is not where I want to be. I don't

97
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:03,080
Speaker 1: want to work for this supervisor. I know more than him.

98
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:05,400
Speaker 1: I don't want to live in this apartment. I want

99
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:08,040
Speaker 1: my own house. I don't want to sing in the choir.

100
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:10,680
Speaker 1: I want to be on the stage with you. Now

101
00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:14,119
Speaker 1: here's the key. Go get your own stage. First off,

102
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:18,360
Speaker 1: here's the key. You'll never make it to the stage

103
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:22,159
Speaker 1: if you're not faithful where you are. You want see

104
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:25,520
Speaker 1: promotion if you're not being your best where God has

105
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:30,560
Speaker 1: your right now. Thirteen years later, after being faithful in

106
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:34,679
Speaker 1: the Shepherd's fields, going through all kinds of unfair situations,

107
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:40,560
Speaker 1: David suddenly took the throne. Passing the test in ordinary

108
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:44,960
Speaker 1: days is what leads to exceptional days. That's when you'll

109
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:49,480
Speaker 1: see moments of favor where God thrust you years ahead.

110
00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:52,640
Speaker 1: And it's not the big things that hold most people back.

111
00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:56,840
Speaker 1: It's the small things. Being faithful day in and day out,

112
00:06:57,160 --> 00:07:00,520
Speaker 1: going to work with the good attitude, sitting in traffic

113
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:04,960
Speaker 1: not complaining, showing up to church week after week. Faithful

114
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:09,640
Speaker 1: in the routine is what prepares you for promotion. You

115
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:12,960
Speaker 1: may feel like you're going in circles, you're not making

116
00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:17,000
Speaker 1: much progress, but the right attitude is I may not

117
00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:20,640
Speaker 1: like where I am, but God, since you have me here,

118
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:23,520
Speaker 1: I know this is where I'm supposed to be. So

119
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:26,920
Speaker 1: I'm going to keep being my best, giving, serving, helping

120
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:31,000
Speaker 1: others write where I am. We read about the heroes

121
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:34,200
Speaker 1: of faith in the Scripture. Their lives seem like they

122
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:38,240
Speaker 1: were so exciting, but the truth is most of their

123
00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:43,080
Speaker 1: life was routine. Yes, Moses parted the Red Sea, he

124
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:46,800
Speaker 1: told Pharaoh let the Israelites go. Those were great miracles,

125
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:49,440
Speaker 1: but it was just a few days of his life.

126
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:54,160
Speaker 1: There will be more ordinary days than there are exciting days.

127
00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:58,600
Speaker 1: If you live from big event to big event, waiting

128
00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:02,840
Speaker 1: for something exciting to keep you encouraged, you'll be disappointed.

129
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:08,160
Speaker 1: Learn to enjoy where God has you right now. This

130
00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:12,120
Speaker 1: is the day the Lord has made. It may be routine,

131
00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:15,920
Speaker 1: it may feel like you're no closer to your dreams

132
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:19,240
Speaker 1: than you were years ago. But when you do the

133
00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:23,520
Speaker 1: ordinary with a good attitude, that's getting you prepared for

134
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:27,240
Speaker 1: the new things God has in store. And sometimes the

135
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:31,840
Speaker 1: reason God is not changing the circumstances is he's using

136
00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:37,040
Speaker 1: the circumstances to change us. If we'll start passing these tests,

137
00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:41,360
Speaker 1: being patient when it's taken longer than we like, staying

138
00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:44,040
Speaker 1: in faith when we're not getting our way, having a

139
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 1: smile even when we're uncomfortable. We're growing, we're developing. We're

140
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:53,640
Speaker 1: showing God that we trust him. Like with David, that's

141
00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:57,360
Speaker 1: when you'll not just be anointed for the throne, you'll

142
00:08:57,360 --> 00:09:00,840
Speaker 1: take your throne. The scripture talks about how God is

143
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:04,760
Speaker 1: the potter and we are the clay. The potter takes

144
00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:06,960
Speaker 1: a lump of clay and puts it on the wheel.

145
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:12,199
Speaker 1: It spins it around again and again. The clay could say,

146
00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:16,160
Speaker 1: I don't like going in circles. I don't like this spinning.

147
00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:20,480
Speaker 1: It's boring. I want to do something exciting. Let me

148
00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:24,160
Speaker 1: off this wheel so I can make progress. What the

149
00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:29,000
Speaker 1: clay doesn't realize is it is making progress while it's

150
00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:33,920
Speaker 1: going in circles. The potter is forming it, shaping it.

151
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:37,600
Speaker 1: It seems routine to the clay, it seems like it's stuck.

152
00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:41,680
Speaker 1: But while it's spinning, the clay is coming up higher.

153
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:44,960
Speaker 1: It can't tell it at the time, but it's rising

154
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:48,640
Speaker 1: up from a lump of clay into a beautiful vase.

155
00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:52,600
Speaker 1: If you were to ask the clay after it was formed,

156
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:55,640
Speaker 1: after it had gone through the process, it would tell

157
00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:59,760
Speaker 1: you the spinning was for my good. I didn't like

158
00:09:59,840 --> 00:10:03,040
Speaker 1: it at the time. I couldn't see anything happening, But

159
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:07,240
Speaker 1: without this spinning, I wouldn't be who I am. You

160
00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:10,640
Speaker 1: may feel like you're spinning today. You're doing the same

161
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:14,920
Speaker 1: thing over and over, not making much progress. But like

162
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:18,560
Speaker 1: that clay, when it feels like you're going in circles,

163
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:23,280
Speaker 1: something is happening that you can't see. You're coming up higher.

164
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:29,120
Speaker 1: God is making you, molding you. It may seem ordinary routine,

165
00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:33,160
Speaker 1: but when you're faithful where you are, you keep doing

166
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:36,760
Speaker 1: the right thing. Even though you're not making progress. You

167
00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:39,800
Speaker 1: have a song of praise when you could be complaining.

168
00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:43,559
Speaker 1: You are rising higher. You may not see it, but

169
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:47,959
Speaker 1: the spinning is working for you. When Joshua was leading

170
00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:51,520
Speaker 1: the Israelites toward the Promised Land, they came to the

171
00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:55,400
Speaker 1: city of Jericho. It was surrounded by a huge wall

172
00:10:55,880 --> 00:11:00,040
Speaker 1: fifteen feet wide thirty five feet thick. There was no

173
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:03,199
Speaker 1: way in the natural for the Israelites to get past

174
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:06,840
Speaker 1: that wall and make it to the Promised Land. Joshua

175
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:10,520
Speaker 1: prayed and asked God what they should do, and God

176
00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:15,040
Speaker 1: told him to have the Israelites march around the city

177
00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:19,080
Speaker 1: of Jericho. I'm sure Joshua thought, God, we need to

178
00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:21,800
Speaker 1: get in the city, and you're telling us to walk

179
00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:25,960
Speaker 1: around it. You want us to go in circles. They marched.

180
00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:30,040
Speaker 1: The first day, nothing happened, second day, nothing happened, third

181
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:33,840
Speaker 1: day nothing. The whole time the people thought, this is

182
00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:38,480
Speaker 1: a waste of time, This doesn't make sense. Six days

183
00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:44,320
Speaker 1: they walked in circles ordinary routine, didn't see anything changing.

184
00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:47,880
Speaker 1: On the seventh day, God told them to march around

185
00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:51,160
Speaker 1: seven times. The last time they were to let out

186
00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:54,960
Speaker 1: a great shout and blow their trumpets. When they did,

187
00:11:55,400 --> 00:12:00,320
Speaker 1: those huge walls came tumbling down, a great miracle. Even

188
00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:04,000
Speaker 1: though the walls fell, the Israelites should have had trouble

189
00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:07,880
Speaker 1: getting past all the rubble, the debris. The walls were

190
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:12,240
Speaker 1: so big, But researchers have found the walls fell in

191
00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:15,959
Speaker 1: such a way that it created a perfect ramp. Some

192
00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:19,520
Speaker 1: fell on the inside, some on the outside, just like

193
00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:22,840
Speaker 1: an overpass. The Israelites were able to go in and

194
00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:27,480
Speaker 1: take the land. When you're faithful in the routine, God

195
00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:31,520
Speaker 1: will make things happen that you couldn't make happen. You

196
00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:34,319
Speaker 1: may have been doing the right thing for a long time.

197
00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:39,200
Speaker 1: You feel like you're being left out, you're being falling behind.

198
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:43,880
Speaker 1: But God is closely watching you. He sees you walking

199
00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:47,240
Speaker 1: around the walls. He sees you doing the right thing,

200
00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:52,160
Speaker 1: even though nothing is changing. Your time is coming. It's

201
00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:57,160
Speaker 1: going to happen suddenly, unexpectedly. What looked like an ordinary

202
00:12:57,280 --> 00:13:00,439
Speaker 1: day is going to turn out to be an exception day.

203
00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:05,080
Speaker 1: You thought you'd have to march around another month, another year.

204
00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:09,280
Speaker 1: Suddenly those walls are going to come down. God has

205
00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:15,040
Speaker 1: explosive blessings. No wall is too big, no obstacle too high,

206
00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:19,440
Speaker 1: no enemy too powerful. One touch of God's favor can

207
00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:23,560
Speaker 1: catapult you years ahead. The psalmist said, you can run

208
00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:26,840
Speaker 1: through a troop and leap over a wall. God will

209
00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:30,040
Speaker 1: get you to where you're supposed to be. But why

210
00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:34,360
Speaker 1: did God have them march around in circles seven days

211
00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:37,319
Speaker 1: do the same thing over and over. Seemed like a

212
00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:41,240
Speaker 1: waste of time. Didn't make sense. He's God. He could

213
00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:44,480
Speaker 1: have brought the walls down the first time, Joshua ask,

214
00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:49,680
Speaker 1: But marching around that city was a test. God wanted

215
00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:53,760
Speaker 1: to see. Would they be faithful in the routine. Would

216
00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:57,640
Speaker 1: they trust him when they were going in circles? Would

217
00:13:57,640 --> 00:14:01,480
Speaker 1: they do the right thing when it seemed ordinary. You're

218
00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:06,000
Speaker 1: not always going to understand why something isn't changing, why

219
00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:09,559
Speaker 1: you're not making progress, why those people won't treat your right.

220
00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:13,160
Speaker 1: Don't get caught up in the wise. It is simply

221
00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:17,360
Speaker 1: a test. Keep being faithful where you are, and those

222
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:21,640
Speaker 1: walls will come down. When they were marching around the city,

223
00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:25,440
Speaker 1: God told them to not say a word. They couldn't

224
00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:30,040
Speaker 1: whispered each other, they couldn't discuss the situation. God knew

225
00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:33,000
Speaker 1: if he didn't keep them quiet, they would have talked

226
00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:36,240
Speaker 1: themselves out of it. Why are we walking around? Joshua

227
00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:40,400
Speaker 1: has lost his mind. I'm tired, I'm hot, I'm thirsty.

228
00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:43,400
Speaker 1: If they would have gone around the walls with a

229
00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:47,000
Speaker 1: negative report, even though they were doing the right thing,

230
00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:50,800
Speaker 1: it would not have happened. When you feel like you're

231
00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:55,200
Speaker 1: going in circles, you're not making much progress, don't start

232
00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:58,440
Speaker 1: talking about how it's never going to happen, how you'll

233
00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:02,400
Speaker 1: never get well, business will never take off. Do yourself

234
00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:05,280
Speaker 1: a favor and zip it up. You can do the

235
00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:09,200
Speaker 1: right thing with the wrong attitude and miss the blessing.

236
00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:12,760
Speaker 1: But every day you go around the walls with a

237
00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:16,360
Speaker 1: good report. Father, thank you, you're restoring health backing to me.

238
00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:19,240
Speaker 1: Thank you that I'll lend and not borrow. Thank you

239
00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:22,040
Speaker 1: that this is my year of Yes. That's passing the

240
00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:26,840
Speaker 1: test life with the Israelites. That obstacle that should have

241
00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:30,960
Speaker 1: stopped you will not only suddenly come down, but it

242
00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:33,640
Speaker 1: will become a ramp where you can move right past it.

243
00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:38,360
Speaker 1: The scripture says God will make your enemies your footstools.

244
00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:42,200
Speaker 1: That means, instead of being a stumbling block to stop you,

245
00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:45,520
Speaker 1: they will become a stepping stone so you can rise

246
00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:49,720
Speaker 1: to the next level. But on the surface, it looked

247
00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:53,200
Speaker 1: like the shout is what brought the walls down. But

248
00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:57,600
Speaker 1: the truth is the shout without the obedience of marching

249
00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:01,800
Speaker 1: around the walls wouldn't have had the same. Fact, sometimes

250
00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:05,920
Speaker 1: we're wondering why the walls aren't falling. We shouted, we prayed,

251
00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:09,000
Speaker 1: we believed. But the shout only works if you do

252
00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:13,360
Speaker 1: the first part, if you're faithful in the routine. A

253
00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:16,520
Speaker 1: friend of mine came to America from India when he

254
00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:20,160
Speaker 1: was twenty years old to attend Bible College. He was

255
00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:24,200
Speaker 1: very poor, but a couple from California paid his way

256
00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:28,520
Speaker 1: over and his tuition, and things were going great. He

257
00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:31,120
Speaker 1: couldn't believe he was in America. This was a dream

258
00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:35,080
Speaker 1: come true. Everything was fine until the men that was

259
00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:39,360
Speaker 1: supporting him lost his job. Now this young man had

260
00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:43,160
Speaker 1: no income, no way to stay in school, no money

261
00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:46,800
Speaker 1: to get back home. He started going through the neighborhoods

262
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:50,200
Speaker 1: asking people if he could mow their laws. But nobody

263
00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:53,960
Speaker 1: would hire him. He walked to the local grocery store

264
00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:57,480
Speaker 1: and found that every night they would put out food

265
00:16:57,680 --> 00:17:01,360
Speaker 1: in the dumpster. That's how he survived for a whole year.

266
00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:05,080
Speaker 1: A job came available as a janitor at the school,

267
00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:08,600
Speaker 1: but he told how he was at such a disadvantage.

268
00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:11,400
Speaker 1: He didn't see how he could ever rise any higher.

269
00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:14,960
Speaker 1: He thought that was his lot in life. But year

270
00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:19,160
Speaker 1: after year he kept being faithful, doing the right thing

271
00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:22,800
Speaker 1: when he wasn't getting any good breaks. He met a

272
00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:27,040
Speaker 1: young lady in school. They fell in love. The problem is,

273
00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:30,800
Speaker 1: at this Bible school, they didn't approve of an Indian

274
00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:34,720
Speaker 1: dating someone from America. This was many years ago, back

275
00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:37,439
Speaker 1: in the seventies, and of course it's changed now. But

276
00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:41,439
Speaker 1: he was forced to leave the school. Two years later

277
00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:44,960
Speaker 1: he married the young woman. They became youth pastors in

278
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:49,040
Speaker 1: another state. Ten years after that, the president of that

279
00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:53,600
Speaker 1: college resigned. The board called and asked if he would

280
00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:57,000
Speaker 1: become the next president. He went from having to get

281
00:17:57,040 --> 00:18:00,879
Speaker 1: food out of dumpsters to clean and restaurants, to be

282
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:04,080
Speaker 1: enforced to leave the school, to being in charge of

283
00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:07,760
Speaker 1: the whole college. Prince God is a god of justice.

284
00:18:07,920 --> 00:18:11,840
Speaker 1: He'll make your wrongs right, But at the time, it

285
00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:15,159
Speaker 1: seemed like he was going in circles, seemed like nothing

286
00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:20,159
Speaker 1: was happening. But God had a plan. The spinning wasn't comfortable,

287
00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:23,920
Speaker 1: it wasn't always fair, but it was for his good.

288
00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:27,760
Speaker 1: God was getting him prepared to go places that he

289
00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:31,560
Speaker 1: never dreamed. But it was all based on him being

290
00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:35,560
Speaker 1: faithful in the routine, doing the right thing when he

291
00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:39,120
Speaker 1: wasn't being treated right. You may have gone through some

292
00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:43,240
Speaker 1: disappointments as well, maybe situations that you feel like put

293
00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:46,879
Speaker 1: you at a disadvantage. But no person can keep you

294
00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:51,200
Speaker 1: from your destiny. No bad break can stop what God

295
00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:54,919
Speaker 1: has ordained for you. Don't get discouraged, don't try to

296
00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:59,960
Speaker 1: pay people back. The disappointments, the bad breaks, the betrayals,

297
00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:04,520
Speaker 1: they are all a part of God's plan. God uses

298
00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:08,560
Speaker 1: things we don't like, things we don't understand, to push

299
00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:12,920
Speaker 1: us into our purpose. And sometimes it feels like things

300
00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:16,600
Speaker 1: are spinning out of control. The truth is they are

301
00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:21,720
Speaker 1: spinning in control. God is directing your steps, he's closing doors,

302
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:25,480
Speaker 1: he's moving the wrong people out. He controls the universe.

303
00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:30,439
Speaker 1: He won't allow the spinning unless ultimately it's going to

304
00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:34,320
Speaker 1: work to your advantage. Now the challenge is to trust

305
00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:38,919
Speaker 1: them while you're spinning. Trust them when you don't understand it.

306
00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:42,919
Speaker 1: When Moses was born, the pharaoh had put out a

307
00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:46,320
Speaker 1: decree that all the male babies were to be killed.

308
00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:51,280
Speaker 1: For three months, Moses' mother hid him. She didn't take

309
00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:55,320
Speaker 1: him outside, they didn't go for a walk. Nobody knew

310
00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:59,879
Speaker 1: he was here. He wasn't celebrated, he wasn't noticed the

311
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:03,000
Speaker 1: They didn't have a birthday party for him. He was hidden,

312
00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:08,520
Speaker 1: like Moses. Sometimes God will hide you. You will go

313
00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:11,840
Speaker 1: through a season where you're not being noticed, you're not

314
00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:16,400
Speaker 1: being celebrated. You have all these gifts, so much to offer,

315
00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:22,360
Speaker 1: but you're being overlooked, ignored. These times when God hides us,

316
00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:26,879
Speaker 1: these are times of testing, times of proving. Are you

317
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:30,920
Speaker 1: going to keep being your best even though you're being overlooked.

318
00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:36,199
Speaker 1: My father and mother started Lakewood with ninety people in

319
00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:41,320
Speaker 1: nineteen fifty nine. My dad had been overseas holding meetings

320
00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:44,919
Speaker 1: with tens of thousands of people, but he knew he

321
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:48,359
Speaker 1: was supposed to come back and pastor Lakewood. But for

322
00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:52,320
Speaker 1: thirteen years it was like my father was hidden. The

323
00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:55,840
Speaker 1: church didn't grow, and my father was a great minister,

324
00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:59,919
Speaker 1: He was dynamic, he was anointed. But all these gifts,

325
00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:05,800
Speaker 1: all this ability, was going unnoticed. He wasn't being celebrated

326
00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:09,680
Speaker 1: like he'd been overseas. He wasn't seeing growth and increase.

327
00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:14,240
Speaker 1: But those thirteen years my father was hidden. He preached

328
00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:17,640
Speaker 1: to the ninety people like he was preaching to ninety thousand.

329
00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:21,359
Speaker 1: He gave it his all. He was there three services

330
00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:24,840
Speaker 1: a week, never took time off. He lived to pour

331
00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:29,040
Speaker 1: in too. Those ninety people. He could have gotten discouraged, God,

332
00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:32,639
Speaker 1: why am I not seeing any growth? Instead? He was

333
00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:37,320
Speaker 1: faithful in the routine, faithful when he wasn't being celebrated,

334
00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:41,400
Speaker 1: faithful when he wasn't making much progress. He was spinning.

335
00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:44,919
Speaker 1: What he couldn't see is he was coming up higher.

336
00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:48,919
Speaker 1: His character was being developed. He was showing God what

337
00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:53,080
Speaker 1: he was made of. If you're not faithful when you're hidden,

338
00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:56,880
Speaker 1: how can God trust you to be faithful when you're

339
00:21:56,880 --> 00:22:00,960
Speaker 1: out in the open. And the scripture says when Moses

340
00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:04,439
Speaker 1: could be hidden no longer, his mother put him in

341
00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:07,720
Speaker 1: a basket and sent him floating down the Nile River.

342
00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:11,399
Speaker 1: Out of all the people that could have found him,

343
00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:15,080
Speaker 1: it just so happened FAA's daughter was at the river

344
00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:18,560
Speaker 1: bank taken a bath. She heard the cries coming from

345
00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:22,960
Speaker 1: the basket. She took Moses in and raised him in

346
00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:27,800
Speaker 1: the palace as her own son. Moses went from being

347
00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:32,200
Speaker 1: hidden to being noticed by one of the most influential

348
00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:36,280
Speaker 1: families of that day. When you pass the test of

349
00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:40,000
Speaker 1: being faithful in the routine, there will come a time

350
00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:43,440
Speaker 1: where God will say you can be hidden no longer.

351
00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:46,960
Speaker 1: He will cause the right people to see you, the

352
00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:50,600
Speaker 1: right people to celebrate you. You'll not only be noticed,

353
00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:54,840
Speaker 1: but you will be celebrated. Those thirteen years my father

354
00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:58,439
Speaker 1: was hidden, but in nineteen seventy two it was like

355
00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:01,760
Speaker 1: God brought him out into the open. The church begin

356
00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:05,080
Speaker 1: to grow from a couple hundred to thousands and thousands.

357
00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:10,240
Speaker 1: You may feel like you've been hidden, overlooked, ignored, stay

358
00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:13,879
Speaker 1: in couraged. God is about to bring you out. His

359
00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:16,280
Speaker 1: face is going to shine down on you in a

360
00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:18,719
Speaker 1: new way. You're not going to have to make it

361
00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:22,560
Speaker 1: happen like Pharaoh's daughter. The right people are going to

362
00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:26,040
Speaker 1: find you. Doors are going to open that you couldn't open.

363
00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:30,639
Speaker 1: Promotion is going to track you down. John chapter two,

364
00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:34,520
Speaker 1: Jesus was at a wedding in Galilee. His mother came

365
00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:37,679
Speaker 1: to him and said they had run out of wine.

366
00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:41,880
Speaker 1: Jesus told the workers to fill up the stone pots

367
00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:45,800
Speaker 1: with water. There were six of them. They held thirty

368
00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:49,359
Speaker 1: gallons each. That was one hundred and eighty gallons of

369
00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:52,840
Speaker 1: water that they needed. If the workers took a three

370
00:23:52,880 --> 00:23:56,960
Speaker 1: gallon bucket down to the well, that would take sixty

371
00:23:57,080 --> 00:24:01,359
Speaker 1: trips to get that much water age. The workers thinking

372
00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:05,200
Speaker 1: what are we doing this for? We need wine, Why

373
00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:08,920
Speaker 1: are we pumping water? They could have talked themselves out

374
00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:13,600
Speaker 1: of it. Instead, they kept doing the ordinary, pumping the water,

375
00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:18,480
Speaker 1: filling the pots again and again, trip after trip, faithful

376
00:24:18,520 --> 00:24:22,040
Speaker 1: in the routine. It was water when they pumped it out,

377
00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:25,840
Speaker 1: and water when they poured it into the pots. It

378
00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:29,000
Speaker 1: would have been easy to stay in faith if when

379
00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:31,560
Speaker 1: they drew it out of the well it suddenly turned

380
00:24:31,560 --> 00:24:34,199
Speaker 1: into water, or if when they poured it into the

381
00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:36,800
Speaker 1: pots they saw the miracle right then they would have

382
00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:42,119
Speaker 1: been excited. But nothing was changing. It was routine, ordinary,

383
00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:46,040
Speaker 1: looked like they were going in circles. But when God

384
00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:50,600
Speaker 1: can trust you to be faithful getting water, faithful when

385
00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:54,480
Speaker 1: nothing is happening, faithful when it seems ordinary, then he

386
00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:58,960
Speaker 1: will take you into the extraordinary. You may be believing

387
00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:03,199
Speaker 1: for wine, but all you're seeing is water. Be faithful

388
00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:07,040
Speaker 1: in your water days. Well, Joel, I'm just doing the ordinary.

389
00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:11,040
Speaker 1: I'm just going to work being my best, raising my children,

390
00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:14,720
Speaker 1: honoring God. But I'm not making any progress. Don't be

391
00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:19,160
Speaker 1: discouraged by what you don't see. You're in your water days.

392
00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:22,720
Speaker 1: The good news is wine is coming. It's going to

393
00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:27,720
Speaker 1: happen suddenly. It's going to be unexpected. After these workers

394
00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:31,000
Speaker 1: filled up the pots, after they were faithful in their

395
00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:35,280
Speaker 1: water days, Jesus told them to draw some out and

396
00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:38,120
Speaker 1: take it to the host of the party. When they did,

397
00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:41,520
Speaker 1: it not only turned into wine, but when the host

398
00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:45,439
Speaker 1: tasted it, he said, you have saved the best wine

399
00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:49,720
Speaker 1: for last. When you pass this test of being faithful

400
00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:53,000
Speaker 1: in the routine, God has saved the best for last.

401
00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:56,080
Speaker 1: What's in your future is going to be more rewarding,

402
00:25:56,480 --> 00:26:01,480
Speaker 1: more exciting than anything you've imagined, challenging you to stay

403
00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:06,040
Speaker 1: faithful in the routine. Stay faithful when you're going in circles.

404
00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:10,199
Speaker 1: Remember the spinning is working for you. It's getting you

405
00:26:10,280 --> 00:26:14,000
Speaker 1: prepared for the new things God has in store. Many

406
00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:17,400
Speaker 1: of you have passed this test. You've been faithful day

407
00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:21,560
Speaker 1: in and day out. I believe and declare, like Joshua,

408
00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:24,359
Speaker 1: the walls that have held you back are about to

409
00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:27,679
Speaker 1: come tumbling down Like Moses. You may have been hidden,

410
00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:30,639
Speaker 1: but you're about to come out into the open. God

411
00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:33,879
Speaker 1: is going to turn your water into wine. Take you

412
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:38,159
Speaker 1: into the fullness of your destiny in Jesus' name, if

413
00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:39,480
Speaker 1: you receive it? Can you say it?

414
00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:39,679
Speaker 3: Men?

415
00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:44,040
Speaker 1: Today, I'd like to give you an opportunity to make

416
00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:47,320
Speaker 1: Jesus the Lord of your life. Would you pray with me?

417
00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:53,400
Speaker 1: Just say, Lord, Jesus, I repent of my sins. Come

418
00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:57,040
Speaker 1: into my heart. I make you my Lord and savior.

419
00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:01,040
Speaker 1: If you prayed that simple prayer, we believe you got

420
00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:04,600
Speaker 1: born again. Get in a good Bible based church, Keep

421
00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:05,800
Speaker 1: God first place.

422
00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:09,320
Speaker 3: Do you have a dream that's waiting to happen, but

423
00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:12,360
Speaker 3: it often feels like you'll never get there? Is your

424
00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:15,720
Speaker 3: dream to start a business, to see a loved one

425
00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:18,919
Speaker 3: come to the Lord? Are you asking God? Will it

426
00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:19,560
Speaker 3: ever happen?

427
00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:23,440
Speaker 1: Sometimes it feels like our dream is so far off.

428
00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:25,720
Speaker 1: But I believe you're closer than you think.

429
