00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:22,920
Speaker 4: right at home. I like to start with something funny.

50
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:26,240
Speaker 4: And I heard about these two men, Archie and Jack.

51
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:30,120
Speaker 4: They had debated their whole life as to whether Jesus

52
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:34,239
Speaker 4: was white or black. Archie was certain he was white.

53
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:37,480
Speaker 4: Jack was just as sure he was black. As fate

54
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:39,920
Speaker 4: would have it, they both died on the same day.

55
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:43,760
Speaker 4: Rushed to the pearly gates, they said, Saint Peter, please,

56
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 4: we've been arguing our whole life. Tell Us, is Jesus

57
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 4: white or is he black? About that time, Jesus stepped

58
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:56,079
Speaker 4: up and said, Buenos dias, say it like you mean it.

59
00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 4: This is my Bible. I am what it says I am.

60
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:02,639
Speaker 4: I have what it says I have. I can do

61
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:05,360
Speaker 4: what it says I can do. Today I will be

62
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:09,560
Speaker 4: taught the word of God. I boldly confess my mind

63
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:13,040
Speaker 4: is alert, my heart is receptive. I will never be

64
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:18,240
Speaker 4: the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you. I want

65
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:22,280
Speaker 4: to talk to you today about how everything serves his plan.

66
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:25,640
Speaker 4: We all have things happen to us in life that

67
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 4: we don't understand, things that are taking longer than they should,

68
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 4: doors that have closed, we worked hard, but we didn't

69
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:36,440
Speaker 4: get the promotion, or people that have turned on us.

70
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:40,480
Speaker 4: A coworker said, untrue things, and now it's set us back.

71
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:44,640
Speaker 4: It's easy to live frustrated and fight against everything. We

72
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 4: don't like. God, Why is this happening? When are you

73
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:51,360
Speaker 4: going to turn it around? We think that it's holding

74
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:57,040
Speaker 4: us back. But Psalm one nineteen says everything serves his plan,

75
00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:01,360
Speaker 4: not just the good things, not just the times you're promoted,

76
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:04,920
Speaker 4: the times things are changing in your favor. We know

77
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:09,560
Speaker 4: that's serving God's plan. We're moving forward. What we don't

78
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:14,480
Speaker 4: always realize is the delays are serving his plan. The

79
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:18,119
Speaker 4: betrayals are serving his plan. The person that walked away

80
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:23,400
Speaker 4: is serving his plan. That door that closed, that contract

81
00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:26,920
Speaker 4: that didn't go through. If that wouldn't have happened, you

82
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:31,120
Speaker 4: couldn't reach your destiny. You wanted it so badly. What

83
00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:35,120
Speaker 4: you couldn't see was God had something better. He loves

84
00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:38,279
Speaker 4: you too much to let you miss your purpose. You

85
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:41,520
Speaker 4: may not like it. It doesn't seem fair, but it's

86
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 4: serving his plan. That silent season where you're doing the

87
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:51,680
Speaker 4: right thing and nothing is improving, you're being overlooked, people

88
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:55,600
Speaker 4: with less experience, less talent passing you by. That's an

89
00:04:55,640 --> 00:05:01,600
Speaker 4: important time. You're being developed, you're getting stronger. Without that season,

90
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:05,480
Speaker 4: you wouldn't be prepared for what's coming. And when you

91
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:09,720
Speaker 4: understand that everything serves his plan, then you won't live

92
00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:14,360
Speaker 4: frustrated when something unfair happens. You won't get upset because

93
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:18,719
Speaker 4: you didn't get your way. You realized the closed door

94
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:22,520
Speaker 4: wasn't a bad break, It was God shutting the door.

95
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:26,640
Speaker 4: The person that walked away wasn't a coincidence. It was

96
00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:31,520
Speaker 4: God moving them away. They were serving his plan. When

97
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:35,280
Speaker 4: someone serves you dinner, they're doing you a favor. They

98
00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:37,839
Speaker 4: bring you the food, they make sure you have water,

99
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:41,479
Speaker 4: they clean up the dishes. They're working for you, helping you.

100
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:46,200
Speaker 4: We need to see difficulties in a new light. That

101
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:49,520
Speaker 4: person at the office that's against you, always trying to

102
00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:52,880
Speaker 4: make you look bad. Next time they do something unfair,

103
00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:57,840
Speaker 4: instead of being upset under your breath, just whisper thank you,

104
00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:02,680
Speaker 4: you just served me. You can't reach your destiny. Without opposition,

105
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:08,440
Speaker 4: without closed doors, without betrayals, why are you upset over

106
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:13,560
Speaker 4: something that's designed to move you forward. It may be uncomfortable,

107
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:17,479
Speaker 4: you may not like it, but it's serving you. God

108
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:20,080
Speaker 4: wouldn't have allowed it if he didn't have a purpose.

109
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:25,240
Speaker 4: Nothing can happen to you without his permission. Before Jesus

110
00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:28,880
Speaker 4: could be crucified and rise from the dead, he had

111
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:33,240
Speaker 4: to be betrayed. Somebody had to make things up, say

112
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:36,680
Speaker 4: bad things about him. He had done no wrong. If

113
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:40,080
Speaker 4: everyone would have loved Jesus, if everyone would have been

114
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:44,040
Speaker 4: for him, we wouldn't have salvation. Part of the plan

115
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:47,919
Speaker 4: for his life was to have opposition, people that didn't

116
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:52,960
Speaker 4: understand him. It's not a coincidence that Judas, one of

117
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:58,159
Speaker 4: his twelve disciples, a person Jesus had handpicked, decided to

118
00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:02,239
Speaker 4: betray him. Didn't come up with that on his own.

119
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:05,599
Speaker 4: He was a pawn in the hand of God. He

120
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:10,239
Speaker 4: was serving Jesus's destiny. What if Jesus would have said, Father,

121
00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:14,200
Speaker 4: this isn't fair. I'm doing the right thing, but my

122
00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:20,200
Speaker 4: own disciple betrayed me. Jesus understood Without the betrayal, he

123
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:24,040
Speaker 4: couldn't fulfill his purpose. And when the soldiers came to

124
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:28,080
Speaker 4: arrest Jesus, they didn't know what he looked like. Judas said,

125
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:32,480
Speaker 4: I'll identify him by giving him a kiss. Judas walked

126
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:36,400
Speaker 4: over like nothing was wrong and greeted Jesus with a kiss.

127
00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:40,960
Speaker 4: That kiss not only pointed Jesus out, but it was

128
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:46,840
Speaker 4: a significant moment that helped unlock his destiny. You could

129
00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:50,520
Speaker 4: say that Judas did more for Jesus than any of

130
00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:55,240
Speaker 4: the other disciples. Without the betrayal, we wouldn't have salvation.

131
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:59,640
Speaker 4: None of us like opposition, people coming against us, trying

132
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:02,520
Speaker 4: to make it look bad. How do you know that

133
00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:06,880
Speaker 4: judas kiss is not about to unlock your destiny? How

134
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:09,840
Speaker 4: do you know that closed door, that bad break, that

135
00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:14,120
Speaker 4: disappointment is not setting you up for something that you've

136
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:17,840
Speaker 4: never seen. You may not like it, but it's serving

137
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:21,920
Speaker 4: his plan. That coworker that always gets on your nerves.

138
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:24,800
Speaker 4: You've been praying for six years for God to move

139
00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:28,440
Speaker 4: them away. You know why they haven't moved. They're serving you.

140
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:32,720
Speaker 4: God is using them like sandpaper to rub the rough

141
00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:36,840
Speaker 4: edges off of you. You're growing, You're learning to be kind,

142
00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:41,320
Speaker 4: to be patient, to overlook an offense. The scripture says

143
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:45,840
Speaker 4: our steps are being ordered by the Lord. It doesn't

144
00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:50,079
Speaker 4: say they're being suggested. If you weren't supposed to be there,

145
00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:55,040
Speaker 4: you wouldn't be there. God allowed it because it's necessary

146
00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:59,440
Speaker 4: to move you into your purpose. Don't be upset over

147
00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:02,200
Speaker 4: that person that's trying to make you look bad. You

148
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:06,280
Speaker 4: need them to reach your destiny. Don't be discouraged over

149
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:10,280
Speaker 4: the door that closed. It wasn't a coincidence. It's positioning

150
00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:14,640
Speaker 4: you for something bigger. God doesn't take us in a

151
00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:18,560
Speaker 4: straight line from A to B to C. Sometimes he'll

152
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:21,360
Speaker 4: take it from A to B, then up to M,

153
00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:25,280
Speaker 4: then back to D, then up to R. It may

154
00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:28,840
Speaker 4: not make sense. Sometimes it's going to feel like you're

155
00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:33,440
Speaker 4: going backwards. You have to trust him when you don't understand.

156
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:38,280
Speaker 4: You have to know everything is serving his plan. That's

157
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:42,760
Speaker 4: why Paul said all things work together for good to

158
00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:46,920
Speaker 4: those that love the Lord. All things may not be good.

159
00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:51,320
Speaker 4: The sickness isn't good, the loss isn't good. But the

160
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:55,680
Speaker 4: promise is it's going to work out for your good now.

161
00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:59,640
Speaker 4: The test is, while God is working it out, while

162
00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:02,880
Speaker 4: it's not not good, will you stay in faith when

163
00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:06,440
Speaker 4: you don't see any sign of it improving. When it's unfair,

164
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:10,640
Speaker 4: when it's uncomfortable, will you believe that God is still

165
00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:13,960
Speaker 4: on the throne, that he's working behind the scenes, that

166
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:16,880
Speaker 4: what he started in your life he's going to finish.

167
00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:21,520
Speaker 4: This is what Joseph did as a teenager. His brothers

168
00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:24,360
Speaker 4: were jealous of him and threw him into a pit.

169
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:27,560
Speaker 4: They were going to leave him there to die, but

170
00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:31,319
Speaker 4: they saw a caravan of Ishmaelites traveling by, and they

171
00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:35,520
Speaker 4: decided to sell him. Joseph never dreamed he would become

172
00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:39,280
Speaker 4: a slave working in a foreign country. Look like God

173
00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:43,000
Speaker 4: had forgotten about him. At one point, the wife of

174
00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:47,080
Speaker 4: the man he worked for falsely accused him, lied about him.

175
00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:49,760
Speaker 4: He was put in prison for something that he didn't do.

176
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:54,600
Speaker 4: Joseph had plenty of reasons to live bitter, but you

177
00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:58,320
Speaker 4: never read where he complained. You never read where he

178
00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:03,120
Speaker 4: had a bad attitude. He understood this principle that everything

179
00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:10,640
Speaker 4: was serving his plan. Thirteen years later, after all the detours, delays, betrayals,

180
00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:15,240
Speaker 4: just like God promised, he became the Prime Minister of Egypt.

181
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:20,120
Speaker 4: What's interesting is if any of those bad breaks had

182
00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:24,240
Speaker 4: not happened, if his brothers had not been jealous, if

183
00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:26,880
Speaker 4: he had not been thrown into a pit, if he

184
00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:29,720
Speaker 4: had not been sold as a slave, if the wife

185
00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:32,200
Speaker 4: had not lied about him, if he had not been

186
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:35,240
Speaker 4: put in prison, he would have never made it to

187
00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:40,840
Speaker 4: the throne. Every step was necessary, They were all instrumental.

188
00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:44,959
Speaker 4: The things you don't like, the things that are not fair,

189
00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:48,360
Speaker 4: the things that are taken longer than they should. Life

190
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:52,600
Speaker 4: with Joseph, they are serving his plan. They are leading

191
00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:57,560
Speaker 4: you to your destiny. Many years later, the brothers came

192
00:11:57,600 --> 00:12:01,760
Speaker 4: to the palace looking for food during a great famine.

193
00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:05,000
Speaker 4: Joseph was in charge of the food supply. He said

194
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:08,839
Speaker 4: to his brothers, don't worry. I'm not going to harm you.

195
00:12:08,840 --> 00:12:12,800
Speaker 4: You meant this for evil, but God intended it for good.

196
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:18,280
Speaker 4: God will use people being against you to move you

197
00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:22,400
Speaker 4: into your purpose. That's why you shouldn't take it personally.

198
00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:26,560
Speaker 4: You need a judas kiss to reach your destiny. You

199
00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:28,960
Speaker 4: need people that try to throw you into the pit,

200
00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:33,280
Speaker 4: discredit you, push you down so you can take your throne.

201
00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:37,840
Speaker 4: If Joseph's brothers betraying him would have kept him from

202
00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:41,360
Speaker 4: becoming the Prime Minister, God would have never allowed it.

203
00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:50,440
Speaker 4: People can't override what God has ordained for you bad breaks, detours, delays, injustice.

204
00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:54,640
Speaker 4: They're not stopping your destiny, just the opposite, They're moving

205
00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:58,720
Speaker 4: you into your destiny. Few years after Victorian and I

206
00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:03,319
Speaker 4: were married, received an unexpected tax bill in the mail.

207
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:07,400
Speaker 4: The person that did our tax returns lived in another state.

208
00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:11,800
Speaker 4: He was unfamiliar with a certain law in Texas. Now

209
00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:15,320
Speaker 4: we owed thousands of dollars. We were a young couple

210
00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:18,240
Speaker 4: saving up for a down payment on a house. This

211
00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:21,480
Speaker 4: was going to take all of our funds. Not only that,

212
00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:25,240
Speaker 4: about half of what we owed was because of penalties.

213
00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:29,640
Speaker 4: I thought, God, this is not fair. I hired a professional.

214
00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:33,160
Speaker 4: He messed up. Now I'm having to pay for his mistakes.

215
00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:36,120
Speaker 4: We ended up finding a man to help us get

216
00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:40,560
Speaker 4: it straightened out. He's a tax attorney. For several weeks

217
00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:43,840
Speaker 4: he was at our house every night for hours. We

218
00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:48,040
Speaker 4: were going over documents, filling out new forms. We became

219
00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:52,080
Speaker 4: good friends. Well. Ten years later, I was working at

220
00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:56,480
Speaker 4: the church for my father in the television department. Someone

221
00:13:56,679 --> 00:14:01,440
Speaker 4: offered us a construction permit for the last full power

222
00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:05,560
Speaker 4: television station in Houston. A station in a big market,

223
00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:08,680
Speaker 4: of course, is very valuable. But I didn't know anything

224
00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:13,160
Speaker 4: about buying a construction permit. Then I thought, I'll call

225
00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:17,720
Speaker 4: my attorney friend, the one I met during the tax issue.

226
00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:21,080
Speaker 4: Six months later, we had a signed contract, we owned

227
00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:24,840
Speaker 4: the station, we put it on the air. Everything was great.

228
00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:27,600
Speaker 4: Eventually my father went to be with the Lord and

229
00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:31,120
Speaker 4: I became the pastor. Was three years after that we

230
00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:34,120
Speaker 4: acquired the Compact Center. It was going to cost one

231
00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:38,480
Speaker 4: hundred million dollars to renovate. We decided to sell the station.

232
00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:43,440
Speaker 4: We sold it for a significant profit. Those funds were

233
00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:48,840
Speaker 4: instrumental in us renovating this facility. But it all started

234
00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:52,520
Speaker 4: with the tax issue. I couldn't see it at the time.

235
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:56,000
Speaker 4: I thought it was a bad break. I realize now

236
00:14:56,600 --> 00:15:02,440
Speaker 4: it was all serving his plan. I've had the tax problem.

237
00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:06,479
Speaker 4: I would have never met my attorney friend. Without the attorney,

238
00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:10,160
Speaker 4: I would have never pursued the station. Without the station,

239
00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:13,680
Speaker 4: we may not have had the funds to renovate this place.

240
00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:19,400
Speaker 4: I wonder if you're upset over something that's serving his plan.

241
00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:23,360
Speaker 4: A door that closed, a person that walked away, a

242
00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:26,960
Speaker 4: delay that's taken longer than you thought, it doesn't make sense.

243
00:15:27,440 --> 00:15:30,400
Speaker 4: Stay in peace. It's all a part of the plan.

244
00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:34,720
Speaker 4: It looks like it's hindering you, really it's helping you.

245
00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:39,280
Speaker 4: It feels like it's setting you back, but really it's

246
00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:44,040
Speaker 4: setting you up for something you've never seen. God knows

247
00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:47,120
Speaker 4: what you're going to need in the future. I never

248
00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:50,160
Speaker 4: dreamed I would be a pastor never dream one day

249
00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:54,160
Speaker 4: we would own the Compact Center. But God knew that

250
00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:58,560
Speaker 4: tax problem that was somebody else's fault. That looked like

251
00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:02,760
Speaker 4: a bad break. The truth is that was God ordering

252
00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:06,920
Speaker 4: my steps into something that was unfair. And if you

253
00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:12,040
Speaker 4: don't understand that everything serves his plan, you'll get discouraged, bitter,

254
00:16:12,440 --> 00:16:16,280
Speaker 4: give up on dreams. This is what keeps many people

255
00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:19,640
Speaker 4: from seeing what God was up to behind the scenes.

256
00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:23,600
Speaker 4: The reason Joseph saw it all come together is he

257
00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:26,720
Speaker 4: kept doing the right thing when the wrong thing was happening.

258
00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:29,840
Speaker 4: He kept being good to people that weren't being good

259
00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:34,440
Speaker 4: to him. He passed the task. Many of the challenges

260
00:16:34,600 --> 00:16:37,800
Speaker 4: that you're facing now, the things that don't make sense,

261
00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:42,200
Speaker 4: they don't have anything to do with now. It's positioning

262
00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:45,760
Speaker 4: you for something in your future. If you will stay

263
00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:48,920
Speaker 4: in faith, you will see how God will begin to

264
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:53,560
Speaker 4: connect the dots how it was all strategically orchestrated a

265
00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:56,960
Speaker 4: part of his plan. There was a man out in

266
00:16:57,000 --> 00:17:00,640
Speaker 4: his boat, and big storm came up and his boat sized.

267
00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:03,720
Speaker 4: He was able to swim to the shore, but he

268
00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:08,040
Speaker 4: ended up stranded on a deserted island all by himself.

269
00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:11,879
Speaker 4: Week after week went by, and he was so miserable.

270
00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:15,320
Speaker 4: He kept praying and praying for God to send somebody,

271
00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:18,800
Speaker 4: but it seemed like the heavens were silent. Just when

272
00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:21,640
Speaker 4: he didn't think it could get any worse. One day,

273
00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:24,800
Speaker 4: while he was out gathering food, when he came back,

274
00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:28,960
Speaker 4: the small thatched roof hut that he had built somehow

275
00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:32,159
Speaker 4: caught on fire. He stood there and watched it go

276
00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:35,840
Speaker 4: up in flames. It was like pouring salt on the wound.

277
00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:39,439
Speaker 4: He said, God, I give up, ask you to help me,

278
00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:43,760
Speaker 4: and one bad thing after another happens. About an hour later,

279
00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:47,480
Speaker 4: he saw a boat way off in the distance. He

280
00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:51,480
Speaker 4: perked up. It kept getting closer and closer. Sure enough,

281
00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:55,520
Speaker 4: it was the Coastguard coming to rescue him. Couldn't believe it.

282
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:58,560
Speaker 4: Ran out there and gave him a big hug. Said

283
00:17:58,560 --> 00:18:01,680
Speaker 4: how in the world did you find the captain said,

284
00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:05,040
Speaker 4: we saw the smoke coming from the fire that you build.

285
00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:10,840
Speaker 4: Sometimes what we think is a disappointment is really God

286
00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:14,680
Speaker 4: positioning us for a new level. I didn't like the

287
00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:18,160
Speaker 4: tax issue, but I do like being in the compact center.

288
00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:24,680
Speaker 4: If your hut's on fire today, instead of being bitter complaining,

289
00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:29,719
Speaker 4: have a new perspective. It's serving His plan. May not

290
00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:34,280
Speaker 4: make sense now. Being in the pit is uncomfortable. Being

291
00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:38,680
Speaker 4: falsely accused is not fair. The Judas kiss, the betrayal,

292
00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:42,800
Speaker 4: the closed doors can be discouraging. You have to keep

293
00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:47,440
Speaker 4: reminding yourself it's not working against you, it's working for you.

294
00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:50,919
Speaker 4: Sooner than later, you're going to see what God was

295
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:53,800
Speaker 4: up to. A friend of mine had a dream to

296
00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:58,840
Speaker 4: play professional football. He's extremely talented, very fast, and athletic.

297
00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:02,639
Speaker 4: In high school, he was the star player, a running

298
00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:06,200
Speaker 4: back that broke many of the school records. His future

299
00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:09,960
Speaker 4: looked very bright. He started training harder than ever, getting

300
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:15,080
Speaker 4: ready for college. Coaches from major universities would attend his games.

301
00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:19,399
Speaker 4: His junior year, he was offered a full scholarship to

302
00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:23,399
Speaker 4: one of the most prestigious football schools. He was excited

303
00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:27,000
Speaker 4: his dream was coming to pass, but during the fourth

304
00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:30,080
Speaker 4: game in his senior year, he was hit below the

305
00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:34,600
Speaker 4: knee and felt something pop. He tore his acl He

306
00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:37,600
Speaker 4: laid on the field in shock, knowing that his season

307
00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:41,560
Speaker 4: was over. He'd never had an injury, never missed a game.

308
00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:45,119
Speaker 4: He was so disappointed. And he was raised in a

309
00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:48,840
Speaker 4: good family, but they didn't know much about God. They

310
00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:51,560
Speaker 4: didn't have any kind of faith. That wasn't a part

311
00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:55,520
Speaker 4: of their life. A friend invited him to a youth camp.

312
00:19:56,119 --> 00:19:59,240
Speaker 4: When he heard the minister speak, he felt something so

313
00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:02,960
Speaker 4: strong on the inside. That night, he gave his life

314
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:07,119
Speaker 4: to Christ. It was a complete turnaround in his life.

315
00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:10,879
Speaker 4: After the surgery. He was doing the rehab, trying to

316
00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:15,200
Speaker 4: get back in shape, but sitting on the sidelines watching

317
00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:19,080
Speaker 4: his team play, he began to feel new desires on

318
00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:23,439
Speaker 4: the inside. He no longer wanted to play football. He

319
00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:26,840
Speaker 4: wanted to become a pastor. Didn't make sense to his

320
00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:30,800
Speaker 4: family his friends after years of training so hard, But

321
00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:34,440
Speaker 4: he knew he was supposed to go into ministry. So

322
00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:38,520
Speaker 4: he passed on the big football scholarship and he enrolled

323
00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:42,399
Speaker 4: in a leadership college. Today, our friend Nick Nilson is

324
00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:45,320
Speaker 4: one of our pastors here at Lakewood, a great minister.

325
00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:50,639
Speaker 4: Nick told me if he had not had that injury.

326
00:20:50,720 --> 00:20:53,760
Speaker 4: If God had not put his football career on hold,

327
00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:57,920
Speaker 4: he would have never pursued ministry. God had to pause

328
00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:01,960
Speaker 4: what Nick thought he wanted to do and redirect him

329
00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:05,520
Speaker 4: to what he was created to do. But at first

330
00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:09,600
Speaker 4: you know he was disappointed. It didn't make sense. But

331
00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:13,120
Speaker 4: you don't know what God is up to. God will

332
00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:16,560
Speaker 4: never close a door without opening a bigger and a

333
00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:20,440
Speaker 4: better door. What you're tempted to be upset about today,

334
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:23,920
Speaker 4: If you'll keep the right attitude, one day you'll look

335
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:27,120
Speaker 4: back and say, like Nick, Lord, thank you for closing

336
00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:30,000
Speaker 4: that door. Now I can see what you were doing,

337
00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:33,679
Speaker 4: taking me somewhere that I never dreamed. Thank you for

338
00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:36,760
Speaker 4: moving that person out of my life. I would have

339
00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:40,200
Speaker 4: never met my amazing spouse. Thank you for not letting

340
00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:42,760
Speaker 4: that company hire me. I would have never started my

341
00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:46,600
Speaker 4: own business. Nick says, I still love football, but I

342
00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:49,359
Speaker 4: wouldn't change a thing. This is what I was born

343
00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:54,280
Speaker 4: to do. Well, Joel, why is this challenge taking so long?

344
00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:58,080
Speaker 4: Why is anything happening? When is it going to turn

345
00:21:58,119 --> 00:22:03,880
Speaker 4: around sometime? God is not removing the obstacle because He's

346
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:08,679
Speaker 4: using the obstacle to get us prepared. He's training us

347
00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:12,239
Speaker 4: to get us ready for where He's taking us. We

348
00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:16,040
Speaker 4: don't grow in the good times when everything's going our way.

349
00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:20,520
Speaker 4: Everyone is for us, things are falling into place. We

350
00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:24,440
Speaker 4: prefer that much better, but we wouldn't reach our potential.

351
00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:30,400
Speaker 4: We grow when it's difficult, when there's resistance. We're uncomfortable

352
00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:33,880
Speaker 4: when we have to stretch. That's why you can't pray

353
00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:38,199
Speaker 4: away every challenge. You can't pray away everything you don't like.

354
00:22:39,080 --> 00:22:42,960
Speaker 4: If the situation is not changing, then God is using

355
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:48,639
Speaker 4: the situation to change you. After Joshua died, the Israelites

356
00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:51,919
Speaker 4: were in the Promised Land. They were living their dream.

357
00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:56,879
Speaker 4: But the scripture says God left certain enemy armies in

358
00:22:56,960 --> 00:23:01,080
Speaker 4: the land. He did this to teach warfare to the

359
00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:05,640
Speaker 4: next generation of Israelites, who had no experience in battle.

360
00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:10,480
Speaker 4: God could have had Joshua and the previous generations clear

361
00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:14,639
Speaker 4: the path, wipe out all the opposition. The problem is

362
00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:19,239
Speaker 4: this new generation, when they faced an enemy army, they

363
00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:22,320
Speaker 4: would have been defeated. They wouldn't have had the strength,

364
00:23:22,560 --> 00:23:28,159
Speaker 4: the experience, the training. So God on purpose left obstacles

365
00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:32,120
Speaker 4: in their path. If God made everything easy for us,

366
00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:35,720
Speaker 4: if we never had a judas kiss, a betrayal, a

367
00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:39,439
Speaker 4: closed door. We wouldn't be ready for where we're going.

368
00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:44,760
Speaker 4: God has amazing things in your future, things you've never imagined.

369
00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:48,119
Speaker 4: But to get there, you're going to have to defeat

370
00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:53,640
Speaker 4: some big giants, overcome some big obstacles, outlast some strong opposition.

371
00:23:54,359 --> 00:23:57,000
Speaker 4: It's not going to happen if you're weak, if you

372
00:23:57,080 --> 00:24:01,159
Speaker 4: get overwhelmed, Why is this happening. You have to stand

373
00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:05,520
Speaker 4: strong and show the opposition that you're more determined than

374
00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:09,400
Speaker 4: they are. God didn't bring you this far to leave you.

375
00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:13,520
Speaker 4: That problem is not there to stop you. It's there

376
00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:17,200
Speaker 4: to prepare you. That challenge is not going to defeat you.

377
00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:21,679
Speaker 4: It's going to promote you. Every day you stay in faith,

378
00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:26,080
Speaker 4: you thank God when nothing's happening, you do the right thing.

379
00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:30,520
Speaker 4: When it's not improving, your spiritual muscles are growing. You're

380
00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:35,320
Speaker 4: getting stronger, more determined, developing a greater trust in God.

381
00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:40,119
Speaker 4: Instead of complaining about what's not turning around, see that

382
00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:44,919
Speaker 4: as an opportunity to develop your faith. Don't just go

383
00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:49,680
Speaker 4: through it, grow through it. It's serving his plan. It's

384
00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:52,760
Speaker 4: there to get you prepared. Now you have to do

385
00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:56,560
Speaker 4: your part, keep the right attitude, keep doing the right thing.

386
00:24:56,800 --> 00:25:00,040
Speaker 4: When the wrong thing is happening, keep thanking God and

387
00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:03,200
Speaker 4: you don't see any sign of it. Won't be discouraged

388
00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:07,720
Speaker 4: because nothing's happening on the outside. Something's happening on the inside.

389
00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:12,440
Speaker 4: You're getting stronger. In the Scripture three Times the apostle

390
00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:16,000
Speaker 4: Paul prayed and asked God to remove the thorn from

391
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:19,440
Speaker 4: his side, something that was bothering him. God could have

392
00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:24,040
Speaker 4: easily removed it. He parted red seas, he opened blind eyes.

393
00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:28,560
Speaker 4: But God said to Paul, my grace is sufficient for you.

394
00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:33,800
Speaker 4: His grace doesn't mean he's going to remove every challenge.

395
00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:37,400
Speaker 4: Doesn't mean that every opposition is going to let up.

396
00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:41,760
Speaker 4: It means he's going to increase your strength, so it

397
00:25:41,840 --> 00:25:46,360
Speaker 4: doesn't feel as difficult. As you get stronger, what you're

398
00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:51,600
Speaker 4: up against becomes easier. God didn't lessen what came against you.

399
00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:55,840
Speaker 4: He simply added to your strength. Now you can handle

400
00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:59,040
Speaker 4: what you couldn't handle in the past. What used to

401
00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:03,440
Speaker 4: bother you, That bother you anymore. That coworker that used

402
00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:07,040
Speaker 4: to always get on your nerves, sour your day, He

403
00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:10,000
Speaker 4: hasn't changed. He's still the same old jerk. I mean,

404
00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:13,840
Speaker 4: the same person. He didn't change, but look at you,

405
00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:17,679
Speaker 4: you've changed. You. Don't let it steal your joy. You

406
00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:21,400
Speaker 4: don't pay any attention to it. What's happening, you're growing.

407
00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:26,440
Speaker 4: The obstacle is not changing, but it's changing you. That's

408
00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:31,080
Speaker 4: God's plan working. You may have been dealing with situations

409
00:26:31,080 --> 00:26:35,040
Speaker 4: for a long time that are not improving. You're tempted

410
00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:38,840
Speaker 4: to get tired and worn down. I believe right now

411
00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:42,679
Speaker 4: grace is coming on you in a new way. God

412
00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:48,760
Speaker 4: is breathing, strengthenedo you, fresh vision, fresh passion, a second

413
00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:52,280
Speaker 4: wind so you can outlast what's trying to stop you.

414
00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:56,080
Speaker 4: Now you have to tap into disgrace. Don't go around.

415
00:26:56,359 --> 00:26:59,280
Speaker 4: Why did the door close? Why did these people betray me?

416
00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:02,480
Speaker 4: When is it going to change or turn it around? Father?

417
00:27:02,600 --> 00:27:06,080
Speaker 4: Thank you that your grace is sufficient for everything that

418
00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:09,320
Speaker 4: I'm facing. I may not understand it, but I know

419
00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:12,560
Speaker 4: it's serving your plan. Now. I'm not going to just

420
00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:15,280
Speaker 4: go through it. I'm going to grow through it now.

421
00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:17,720
Speaker 4: I believe when it's all said and done, I'm not

422
00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:20,200
Speaker 4: only going to come out, I'm going to come out better.

423
00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:25,200
Speaker 4: The Psalmist said, all my troubles turned out for good.

424
00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:29,639
Speaker 4: God is saying to you today. Everything that's come against

425
00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:33,320
Speaker 4: you is going to turn out for your good. The

426
00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:37,040
Speaker 4: Judas kiss didn't feel good, the betrayal, but it's going

427
00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:39,920
Speaker 4: to turn out good. It's leading you to a resurrection,

428
00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:45,000
Speaker 4: to something you've never seen. The betrayal wasn't fair, being

429
00:27:45,040 --> 00:27:47,840
Speaker 4: in the pit was uncomfortable, but it's taking you to

430
00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:52,240
Speaker 4: your palace, to new levels of influence. The football injury

431
00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:56,639
Speaker 4: was discouraging, the closed door was disappointing, but God's about

432
00:27:56,640 --> 00:28:00,399
Speaker 4: to open a door better than you've imagined. Perhaps your

433
00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:04,040
Speaker 4: hut is on fire today, the medical reports not good.

434
00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:07,840
Speaker 4: Child is off course. What you can't see is the

435
00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:11,359
Speaker 4: most tied God is on the way. Something that looked

436
00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:15,679
Speaker 4: permanent is about to suddenly turn around. I'm asking you

437
00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:20,119
Speaker 4: to trust him when you don't understand. Don't fight against

438
00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:24,520
Speaker 4: everything you don't like. Stay in peace. Everything serves his plan.

439
00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:28,600
Speaker 4: If you'll do this, I believe and declare, you're about

440
00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:31,600
Speaker 4: to see God connect things that don't make sense or

441
00:28:31,680 --> 00:28:38,080
Speaker 4: about to come together new levels of favor, influence, opportunity, healing, breakthroughs,

442
00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:42,600
Speaker 4: the fullness of your destiny in Jesus' name, And if

443
00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:46,440
Speaker 4: you receive it, can you say him in today. What

444
00:28:46,520 --> 00:28:49,480
Speaker 4: I'd like to give you an opportunity to make Jesus

445
00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:52,120
Speaker 4: the Lord of your life. Would you pray with me,

446
00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:58,440
Speaker 4: just say, Lord, Jesus, I repent of my sins. Come

447
00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:02,520
Speaker 4: into my heart. I'll make you a lord and savior.

448
00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:06,680
Speaker 4: If you prayed that simple prayer, we believe you got

449
00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:10,080
Speaker 4: born again. Get in a good Bible based church, and

450
00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:14,600
