Have you ever had 36 00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:55,200 Speaker 5: an opportunity presented to you and you said no, No, 37 00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:56,000 Speaker 5: I don't want. 38 00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:57,400 Speaker 4: To do that, No I can't do that. 39 00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:01,280 Speaker 5: Maybe you didn't think you were qualified, or maybe you 40 00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:04,000 Speaker 5: thought there was someone else better for the job, or 41 00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:06,520 Speaker 5: maybe you just didn't have the resources. You know, there's 42 00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:10,880 Speaker 5: numbers of reasons that we say no when certain opportunities 43 00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:15,320 Speaker 5: present themselves. But then have you ever done that and 44 00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:18,840 Speaker 5: then later got to thinking, Ugh, what I say no for? 45 00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:22,520 Speaker 4: I wish i'd have done that. Maybe I could have 46 00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:22,960 Speaker 4: done that. 47 00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:29,360 Speaker 5: Have you ever wrestled with the no before thinking maybe 48 00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:29,920 Speaker 5: I could? 49 00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:32,440 Speaker 4: Oh, maybe I should. 50 00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:36,119 Speaker 5: You see, I'll never forget one time when Joel's father 51 00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:38,400 Speaker 5: was the pastor of the church back in the old building, 52 00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:41,720 Speaker 5: and we were worshiping God. It was in the middle 53 00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:44,360 Speaker 5: of our worship, just like we were doing today. My 54 00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:47,760 Speaker 5: hands were up, I was praising God. When I opened 55 00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:51,400 Speaker 5: my eyes, Joel's father had turned around in his seat 56 00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:55,600 Speaker 5: and looked at me and said, Victoria, why don't you 57 00:02:55,680 --> 00:03:00,359 Speaker 5: go up and do the prayer time? Well, he wasn't 58 00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:03,720 Speaker 5: talking about next week or the next week. He was 59 00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:05,920 Speaker 5: talking about the end of the song that was just 60 00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:09,480 Speaker 5: about over. I'm sure I looked at him because I 61 00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:13,040 Speaker 5: had never even remotely given him the thought that I 62 00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:15,160 Speaker 5: wanted to get on the platform and do the prayer time. 63 00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:18,840 Speaker 5: I don't even know where he got that, but I'll 64 00:03:18,880 --> 00:03:25,520 Speaker 5: never forget chuckling with a nervous laugh, and I said, uh, daddy, O, 65 00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:32,200 Speaker 5: I don't think so, you know, in his sweet gentle way. 66 00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:33,880 Speaker 4: He just smiled at me. 67 00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:38,280 Speaker 5: He turned around, and he never said anymore to me 68 00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:42,520 Speaker 5: during that service. You know, I remember standing there thinking 69 00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:43,800 Speaker 5: I didn't need to get out of here. 70 00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:49,320 Speaker 4: But when I got home, I was wrestling with that no. 71 00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:54,160 Speaker 5: I was so disappointed in myself, and really, quite frankly, 72 00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:57,520 Speaker 5: I was mad at myself because I thought to myself, 73 00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:01,840 Speaker 5: if if he thought I could do it, why do 74 00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:04,880 Speaker 5: I think that I can't do it? If someone has 75 00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:07,720 Speaker 5: faith in me, why don't I have faith in myself? 76 00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:10,520 Speaker 5: And I went back, and I went forth, and I 77 00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:13,720 Speaker 5: went back and I went forth, And as I was 78 00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:18,200 Speaker 5: wrestling with that, I realized that that no. 79 00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:21,400 Speaker 4: Just wasn't satisfactory to me. 80 00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:25,360 Speaker 5: So I begin to dig deep, because on the inside 81 00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:29,520 Speaker 5: of me, I realized there was a yes, but it 82 00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:33,599 Speaker 5: was buried under fear. It was buried under the pretense 83 00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:36,760 Speaker 5: that I could not do it. It was buried under 84 00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:39,520 Speaker 5: the thought why does anybody need to hear from me? 85 00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:44,000 Speaker 5: You see, that no was not satisfactory to me. So 86 00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:47,120 Speaker 5: I began to dig up my yes, and I began 87 00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:48,440 Speaker 5: to say, I want. 88 00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:50,920 Speaker 4: To do it, God, help me do it. God, I 89 00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:52,560 Speaker 4: want to give you my yes. 90 00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:57,280 Speaker 5: And through that struggle, I had to make a decision. 91 00:04:57,800 --> 00:04:59,960 Speaker 5: Was I just gonna have one foot in and one 92 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,920 Speaker 5: put out, or was I gonna make a firm decision 93 00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:05,440 Speaker 5: and say the next time he asked me, if he 94 00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:08,800 Speaker 5: ever does, I'm gonna prepare and. 95 00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:10,240 Speaker 4: I'm gonna be ready. 96 00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:13,520 Speaker 5: So every time I'd go to church, I'd be praising 97 00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:15,080 Speaker 5: with one eye opened, say. 98 00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:22,760 Speaker 4: Maybe not today, Lord, but not today Lord. You know 99 00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:25,679 Speaker 4: he did ask me again, He did ask me again. 100 00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:27,240 Speaker 4: And you know what I did. 101 00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:31,240 Speaker 5: I mustard up that great, big yess and I got 102 00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:36,159 Speaker 5: up and I did the prayer time. You see what 103 00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:39,599 Speaker 5: that yes did for me? It kicked in God's grace. 104 00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:45,320 Speaker 5: It caused me to begin to rely on God. I prepared, 105 00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:49,039 Speaker 5: but then I allowed the grace of God to work 106 00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:52,560 Speaker 5: in me and work through me. There's a scripture that 107 00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:56,240 Speaker 5: says that God is working in us to will and 108 00:05:56,279 --> 00:06:00,320 Speaker 5: to do his good pleasure. When you realize that you 109 00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:03,360 Speaker 5: don't have to do everything on your own, and if 110 00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:06,320 Speaker 5: it gets done, it's only because of your ability, when 111 00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:09,839 Speaker 5: you realize that is not always the case, but that 112 00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:13,760 Speaker 5: it's God who's working in you, It's God who's preparing you. 113 00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:18,719 Speaker 5: If you will get into agreement with God, God can 114 00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:24,200 Speaker 5: do amazing things in our lives. But God needs our yes. 115 00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:28,840 Speaker 5: He needs to hear our yes. When I think about 116 00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:34,359 Speaker 5: how that yes kicked in and gave me the power 117 00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:35,800 Speaker 5: to be able to do that. 118 00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:36,560 Speaker 3: It was. 119 00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:39,120 Speaker 5: It was a very much of a learning experience for 120 00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:43,440 Speaker 5: me because see, I didn't realize at the time that 121 00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:47,239 Speaker 5: God was up to something. But when I look back, 122 00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:51,880 Speaker 5: I realized that that yes was one step closer to 123 00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:52,880 Speaker 5: my destiny. 124 00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:58,159 Speaker 4: That yes was one step closer to the next step. Now. 125 00:06:58,160 --> 00:06:59,400 Speaker 4: The truth is, I don't. 126 00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:01,159 Speaker 5: Know how many times I ever got back up on 127 00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:03,880 Speaker 5: the platform when Daddy was there, But I'll tell you 128 00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:08,400 Speaker 5: what that experience gave me the courage and the boldness 129 00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:13,080 Speaker 5: when God asked me yes again. Listen, if you're struggling 130 00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:16,520 Speaker 5: with a yes today, if you're struggling between yes and 131 00:07:16,600 --> 00:07:19,400 Speaker 5: no when God talks to you, maybe you don't think 132 00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:22,679 Speaker 5: you're equipped, Maybe you don't have the right resources. Maybe 133 00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:26,040 Speaker 5: there's a plethora of reasons that you can make excuses. 134 00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:29,960 Speaker 4: Can I tell you make a decision, just settle it 135 00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:30,679 Speaker 4: in your mind. 136 00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:32,840 Speaker 5: If God wants me to do it, I'm gonna give 137 00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:34,560 Speaker 5: him my guests and I'm. 138 00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:38,080 Speaker 4: Gonna prepare and move forward. 139 00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:40,720 Speaker 5: Because let me tell you something, just like my father 140 00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:43,520 Speaker 5: in law asked me and I said no, he didn't 141 00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:47,000 Speaker 5: hold that no against me, and your heavenly Father is 142 00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:47,880 Speaker 5: not gonna hold. 143 00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:49,120 Speaker 4: That no against you. 144 00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:51,600 Speaker 5: You may have said no time and time again, but 145 00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:54,320 Speaker 5: I can tell you, just like my father in law, 146 00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:55,920 Speaker 5: God's gonna ask you again. 147 00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:58,000 Speaker 4: He's gonna ask you again. 148 00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:02,160 Speaker 5: So I encourage you to make a decision to give 149 00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:06,040 Speaker 5: God your yes. Hold on to the promises of God. 150 00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:09,120 Speaker 5: Listen to what it says in tewod Corinthians one twenty. 151 00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:12,720 Speaker 5: It says, for no matter how many promises God has made, 152 00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:15,080 Speaker 5: they are yes in Christ. 153 00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:19,000 Speaker 4: And so through Him we speak the amen. 154 00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:24,840 Speaker 5: Through him who speaks the amen, who speaks the yes, 155 00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:29,760 Speaker 5: we speak the yes. God's promises are gonna stand forever. 156 00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:31,120 Speaker 5: They will remain. 157 00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:35,040 Speaker 4: But He is looking for us to say yes. He 158 00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:36,480 Speaker 4: is looking for us to. 159 00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:39,680 Speaker 5: Take that step of faith, to say, God, I'm all 160 00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:43,880 Speaker 5: in no matter what it looks like.

I'm gonna take 177 00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:35,720 Speaker 5: that step of faith God and let you open those 178 00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:37,160 Speaker 5: supernatural doors for me. 179 00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:41,160 Speaker 4: What does your yes look like today? 180 00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:44,840 Speaker 5: Because God is waiting on you to get into agreement 181 00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:45,440 Speaker 5: with him. 182 00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:47,040 Speaker 4: And as soon as. 183 00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:49,880 Speaker 5: You say yes to God, guess what the grace of 184 00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:50,719 Speaker 5: God kicks in. 185 00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:51,480 Speaker 3: You. 186 00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:54,120 Speaker 5: See, you're not on your own. God doesn't want you 187 00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:56,440 Speaker 5: to do it on your own. God wants you to 188 00:09:56,480 --> 00:10:00,440 Speaker 5: do it with Him in partnership and agreement with Him. 189 00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:03,600 Speaker 5: And you know what, you can say yes. I think 190 00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:06,920 Speaker 5: about the saints of old. They wavered in their yes, 191 00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:10,000 Speaker 5: they wavered in their no. One day they were believers, 192 00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:14,040 Speaker 5: the next day they were denying Jesus. Listen, God is 193 00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:17,800 Speaker 5: not gonna hold your no against you, but make some 194 00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:21,600 Speaker 5: firm decisions to say, I am gonna trust God in this, 195 00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:24,559 Speaker 5: no matter what it looks like, no matter how scared 196 00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:28,280 Speaker 5: I am, no matter how buried, that yes is in 197 00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:29,520 Speaker 5: my in my spirit. 198 00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:31,920 Speaker 4: I'm gonna dig it up. I'm gonna work it out. 199 00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:33,800 Speaker 4: Because the Bible talks about this. 200 00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:37,080 Speaker 5: It says you have to hold fast your profession of faith. 201 00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:39,640 Speaker 4: You have to hold fast that yes. 202 00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:42,960 Speaker 5: See that indicates that something is gonna try to take 203 00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:46,960 Speaker 5: that yes from you. And we're very well aware that 204 00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:51,120 Speaker 5: time tries to steal our yes. People try to steal 205 00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:55,160 Speaker 5: our yes. All these nose and shut doors try to 206 00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:58,520 Speaker 5: steal our yes. But you know what, We're gonna have 207 00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:01,760 Speaker 5: to step over a lot of and hold fast to 208 00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:02,360 Speaker 5: that yes. 209 00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:03,640 Speaker 4: Hold it tight. 210 00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:08,040 Speaker 5: See, it's not just in your ability, It's in God's 211 00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:13,640 Speaker 5: ability through you. It's in him opening supernatural doors. Can 212 00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:16,720 Speaker 5: I tell you is it gonna be easy? Absolutely not? 213 00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:18,120 Speaker 5: Is it worth it? 214 00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:19,800 Speaker 4: Absolutely it is. 215 00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:23,240 Speaker 5: God is a god of miracles, and he wants to 216 00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:27,360 Speaker 5: take you step by step, but he needs your amen, 217 00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:32,480 Speaker 5: He needs your agreement. Think about Noah. When God came 218 00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:34,640 Speaker 5: to Noah and spoke to Noah and said, Noah, I 219 00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:38,120 Speaker 5: want you to build an arc. Noah had no idea. 220 00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:40,720 Speaker 5: First off, what a boat was what an arc was, 221 00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:44,880 Speaker 5: because no one had seen rain. It had literally never rained. 222 00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:48,480 Speaker 5: The theologians said, but you know what Noah did. He 223 00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:54,199 Speaker 5: said yes God. So he was fighting the odds because 224 00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:57,280 Speaker 5: no one had ever seen rain, and no one wanted 225 00:11:57,280 --> 00:11:58,800 Speaker 5: to get into agreement with his yes. 226 00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:02,680 Speaker 4: But he said, I'm going to stay in agreement with God. Yes. 227 00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:06,680 Speaker 5: And he kept building that arc. It took years and years. 228 00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:11,040 Speaker 5: People made fun of him. They even said Noah is crazy. 229 00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:14,280 Speaker 5: He and his family are crazy people. But what did 230 00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:18,040 Speaker 5: Noah keep doing. He kept pounding the nails. He kept 231 00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:21,800 Speaker 5: saying yes in his obedience to God. And let me 232 00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:25,400 Speaker 5: tell you something. Noah's arc stands as a monument today, 233 00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:29,400 Speaker 5: a sign of God's goodness, a sign of God's agreement. 234 00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:33,320 Speaker 5: You see, we are in covenant with this great God, 235 00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:37,800 Speaker 5: and he wants your yes. I have a friend of 236 00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:42,240 Speaker 5: mine who who has a large family, many siblings, and 237 00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:45,280 Speaker 5: she made a decision to say yes to God in 238 00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:47,400 Speaker 5: a new way. And what I mean by that is 239 00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:49,520 Speaker 5: she was gonna let go of some of her past 240 00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:52,080 Speaker 5: habits and she was going to start serving God in 241 00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:55,040 Speaker 5: a fresh, new way because he had given her an 242 00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:59,079 Speaker 5: impression to do it differently. Well, let me tell you something. 243 00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:02,040 Speaker 5: Her family didn't think that was so keen. 244 00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:03,360 Speaker 4: In fact, they. 245 00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:07,120 Speaker 5: Made ugly remarks to her. They literally quit inviting her 246 00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:08,880 Speaker 5: to certain gatherings. 247 00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:12,000 Speaker 4: Because she had a new commitment to God. But can 248 00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:14,760 Speaker 4: I tell you she stayed faithful to her commitment. 249 00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:18,320 Speaker 5: She held on tight to that yes even when she 250 00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:22,080 Speaker 5: wasn't invited to things. She continued to be kind to 251 00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:24,839 Speaker 5: her family, show love, and when they did advite her, 252 00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:28,480 Speaker 5: she showed up with all. 253 00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:32,280 Speaker 4: Of her blessings to them. Can I tell you today, after. 254 00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:35,240 Speaker 5: Years and years of holding on to that yes, staying committed, 255 00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:39,160 Speaker 5: making that decision even when it was tough, even when 256 00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:43,480 Speaker 5: it would have been easier to go back, her yes 257 00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:47,160 Speaker 5: stands as an anchor of hope to her family, and 258 00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:50,600 Speaker 5: many of them have come back to Jesus Christ because 259 00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:51,680 Speaker 5: of that yes. 260 00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:55,600 Speaker 4: Is our yes always easy? 261 00:13:57,280 --> 00:13:57,520 Speaker 3: No? 262 00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:01,400 Speaker 4: But our yes? It's always worth it When we serve 263 00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:05,520 Speaker 4: a mighty God. Get up every day, reconfirm your yes. 264 00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:09,040 Speaker 5: Yes God, I am yours. Yes God, What do you 265 00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:11,920 Speaker 5: want me to do today? Yes, God, I will trust you, 266 00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:15,319 Speaker 5: I will forgive. I will take that step of faith God. 267 00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:18,679 Speaker 5: I believe that when I get into agreement with you. 268 00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:21,520 Speaker 4: You're gonna do what I can't do. You're gonna do 269 00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:26,800 Speaker 4: the impossible. Amen.
