Speaker 4: right at home. I like to start with something funny.
Speaker 4: And I heard about these two men, Archie and Jack.
Speaker 4: They had debated their whole life as to whether Jesus
Speaker 4: was white or black. Archie was certain he was white.
Speaker 4: Jack was just as sure he was black. As fate
Speaker 4: would have it, they both died on the same day.
Speaker 4: Rushed to the pearly gates, they said, Saint Peter, please,
Speaker 4: we've been arguing our whole life. Tell Us, is Jesus
Speaker 4: white or is he black? About that time, Jesus stepped
Speaker 4: up and said, Buenos dias, say it like you mean it.
Speaker 4: This is my Bible. I am what it says I am.
Speaker 4: I have what it says I have. I can do
Speaker 4: what it says I can do. Today I will be
Speaker 4: taught the word of God. I boldly confess my mind
Speaker 4: is alert, my heart is receptive. I will never be
Speaker 4: the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you. I want
Speaker 4: to talk to you today about how everything serves his plan.
Speaker 4: We all have things happen to us in life that
Speaker 4: we don't understand, things that are taking longer than they should,
Speaker 4: doors that have closed, we worked hard, but we didn't
Speaker 4: get the promotion, or people that have turned on us.
Speaker 4: A coworker said, untrue things, and now it's set us back.
Speaker 4: It's easy to live frustrated and fight against everything. We
Speaker 4: don't like. God, Why is this happening? When are you
Speaker 4: going to turn it around? We think that it's holding
Speaker 4: us back. But Psalm one nineteen says everything serves his plan,
Speaker 4: not just the good things, not just the times you're promoted,
Speaker 4: the times things are changing in your favor. We know
Speaker 4: that's serving God's plan. We're moving forward. What we don't
Speaker 4: always realize is the delays are serving his plan. The
Speaker 4: betrayals are serving his plan. The person that walked away
Speaker 4: is serving his plan. That door that closed, that contract
Speaker 4: that didn't go through. If that wouldn't have happened, you
Speaker 4: couldn't reach your destiny. You wanted it so badly. What
Speaker 4: you couldn't see was God had something better. He loves
Speaker 4: you too much to let you miss your purpose. You
Speaker 4: may not like it. It doesn't seem fair, but it's
Speaker 4: serving his plan. That silent season where you're doing the
Speaker 4: right thing and nothing is improving, you're being overlooked, people
Speaker 4: with less experience, less talent passing you by. That's an
Speaker 4: important time. You're being developed, you're getting stronger. Without that season,
Speaker 4: you wouldn't be prepared for what's coming. And when you
Speaker 4: understand that everything serves his plan, then you won't live
Speaker 4: frustrated when something unfair happens. You won't get upset because
Speaker 4: you didn't get your way. You realized the closed door
Speaker 4: wasn't a bad break, It was God shutting the door.
Speaker 4: The person that walked away wasn't a coincidence. It was
Speaker 4: God moving them away. They were serving his plan. When
Speaker 4: someone serves you dinner, they're doing you a favor. They
Speaker 4: bring you the food, they make sure you have water,
Speaker 4: they clean up the dishes. They're working for you, helping you.
Speaker 4: We need to see difficulties in a new light. That
Speaker 4: person at the office that's against you, always trying to
Speaker 4: make you look bad. Next time they do something unfair,
Speaker 4: instead of being upset under your breath, just whisper thank you,
Speaker 4: you just served me. You can't reach your destiny. Without opposition,
Speaker 4: without closed doors, without betrayals, why are you upset over
Speaker 4: something that's designed to move you forward. It may be uncomfortable,
Speaker 4: you may not like it, but it's serving you. God
Speaker 4: wouldn't have allowed it if he didn't have a purpose.
Speaker 4: Nothing can happen to you without his permission. Before Jesus
Speaker 4: could be crucified and rise from the dead, he had
Speaker 4: to be betrayed. Somebody had to make things up, say
Speaker 4: bad things about him. He had done no wrong. If
Speaker 4: everyone would have loved Jesus, if everyone would have been
Speaker 4: for him, we wouldn't have salvation. Part of the plan
Speaker 4: for his life was to have opposition, people that didn't
Speaker 4: understand him. It's not a coincidence that Judas, one of
Speaker 4: his twelve disciples, a person Jesus had handpicked, decided to
Speaker 4: betray him. Didn't come up with that on his own.
Speaker 4: He was a pawn in the hand of God. He
Speaker 4: was serving Jesus's destiny. What if Jesus would have said, Father,
Speaker 4: this isn't fair. I'm doing the right thing, but my
Speaker 4: own disciple betrayed me. Jesus understood Without the betrayal, he
Speaker 4: couldn't fulfill his purpose. And when the soldiers came to
Speaker 4: arrest Jesus, they didn't know what he looked like. Judas said,
Speaker 4: I'll identify him by giving him a kiss. Judas walked
Speaker 4: over like nothing was wrong and greeted Jesus with a kiss.
Speaker 4: That kiss not only pointed Jesus out, but it was
Speaker 4: a significant moment that helped unlock his destiny. You could
Speaker 4: say that Judas did more for Jesus than any of
Speaker 4: the other disciples. Without the betrayal, we wouldn't have salvation.
Speaker 4: None of us like opposition, people coming against us, trying
Speaker 4: to make it look bad. How do you know that
Speaker 4: judas kiss is not about to unlock your destiny? How
Speaker 4: do you know that closed door, that bad break, that
Speaker 4: disappointment is not setting you up for something that you've
Speaker 4: never seen. You may not like it, but it's serving
Speaker 4: his plan. That coworker that always gets on your nerves.
Speaker 4: You've been praying for six years for God to move
Speaker 4: them away. You know why they haven't moved. They're serving you.
Speaker 4: God is using them like sandpaper to rub the rough
Speaker 4: edges off of you. You're growing, You're learning to be kind,
Speaker 4: to be patient, to overlook an offense. The scripture says
Speaker 4: our steps are being ordered by the Lord. It doesn't
Speaker 4: say they're being suggested. If you weren't supposed to be there,
Speaker 4: you wouldn't be there. God allowed it because it's necessary
Speaker 4: to move you into your purpose. Don't be upset over
Speaker 4: that person that's trying to make you look bad. You
Speaker 4: need them to reach your destiny. Don't be discouraged over
Speaker 4: the door that closed. It wasn't a coincidence. It's positioning
Speaker 4: you for something bigger. God doesn't take us in a
Speaker 4: straight line from A to B to C. Sometimes he'll
Speaker 4: take it from A to B, then up to M,
Speaker 4: then back to D, then up to R. It may
Speaker 4: not make sense. Sometimes it's going to feel like you're
Speaker 4: going backwards. You have to trust him when you don't understand.
Speaker 4: You have to know everything is serving his plan. That's
Speaker 4: why Paul said all things work together for good to
Speaker 4: those that love the Lord. All things may not be good.
Speaker 4: The sickness isn't good, the loss isn't good. But the
Speaker 4: promise is it's going to work out for your good now.
Speaker 4: The test is, while God is working it out, while
Speaker 4: it's not not good, will you stay in faith when
Speaker 4: you don't see any sign of it improving. When it's unfair,
Speaker 4: when it's uncomfortable, will you believe that God is still
Speaker 4: on the throne, that he's working behind the scenes, that
Speaker 4: what he started in your life he's going to finish.
Speaker 4: This is what Joseph did as a teenager. His brothers
Speaker 4: were jealous of him and threw him into a pit.
Speaker 4: They were going to leave him there to die, but
Speaker 4: they saw a caravan of Ishmaelites traveling by, and they
Speaker 4: decided to sell him. Joseph never dreamed he would become
Speaker 4: a slave working in a foreign country. Look like God
Speaker 4: had forgotten about him. At one point, the wife of
Speaker 4: the man he worked for falsely accused him, lied about him.
Speaker 4: He was put in prison for something that he didn't do.
Speaker 4: Joseph had plenty of reasons to live bitter, but you
Speaker 4: never read where he complained. You never read where he
Speaker 4: had a bad attitude. He understood this principle that everything
Speaker 4: was serving his plan. Thirteen years later, after all the detours, delays, betrayals,
Speaker 4: just like God promised, he became the Prime Minister of Egypt.
Speaker 4: What's interesting is if any of those bad breaks had
Speaker 4: not happened, if his brothers had not been jealous, if
Speaker 4: he had not been thrown into a pit, if he
Speaker 4: had not been sold as a slave, if the wife
Speaker 4: had not lied about him, if he had not been
Speaker 4: put in prison, he would have never made it to
Speaker 4: the throne. Every step was necessary, They were all instrumental.
Speaker 4: The things you don't like, the things that are not fair,
Speaker 4: the things that are taken longer than they should. Life
Speaker 4: with Joseph, they are serving his plan. They are leading
Speaker 4: you to your destiny. Many years later, the brothers came
Speaker 4: to the palace looking for food during a great famine.
Speaker 4: Joseph was in charge of the food supply. He said
Speaker 4: to his brothers, don't worry. I'm not going to harm you.
Speaker 4: You meant this for evil, but God intended it for good.
Speaker 4: God will use people being against you to move you
Speaker 4: into your purpose. That's why you shouldn't take it personally.
Speaker 4: You need a judas kiss to reach your destiny. You
Speaker 4: need people that try to throw you into the pit,
Speaker 4: discredit you, push you down so you can take your throne.
Speaker 4: If Joseph's brothers betraying him would have kept him from
Speaker 4: becoming the Prime Minister, God would have never allowed it.
Speaker 4: People can't override what God has ordained for you bad breaks, detours, delays, injustice.
Speaker 4: They're not stopping your destiny, just the opposite, They're moving
Speaker 4: you into your destiny. Few years after Victorian and I
Speaker 4: were married, received an unexpected tax bill in the mail.
Speaker 4: The person that did our tax returns lived in another state.
Speaker 4: He was unfamiliar with a certain law in Texas. Now
Speaker 4: we owed thousands of dollars. We were a young couple
Speaker 4: saving up for a down payment on a house. This
Speaker 4: was going to take all of our funds. Not only that,
Speaker 4: about half of what we owed was because of penalties.
Speaker 4: I thought, God, this is not fair. I hired a professional.
Speaker 4: He messed up. Now I'm having to pay for his mistakes.
Speaker 4: We ended up finding a man to help us get
Speaker 4: it straightened out. He's a tax attorney. For several weeks
Speaker 4: he was at our house every night for hours. We
Speaker 4: were going over documents, filling out new forms. We became
Speaker 4: good friends. Well. Ten years later, I was working at
Speaker 4: the church for my father in the television department. Someone
Speaker 4: offered us a construction permit for the last full power
Speaker 4: television station in Houston. A station in a big market,
Speaker 4: of course, is very valuable. But I didn't know anything
Speaker 4: about buying a construction permit. Then I thought, I'll call
Speaker 4: my attorney friend, the one I met during the tax issue.
Speaker 4: Six months later, we had a signed contract, we owned
Speaker 4: the station, we put it on the air. Everything was great.
Speaker 4: Eventually my father went to be with the Lord and
Speaker 4: I became the pastor. Was three years after that we
Speaker 4: acquired the Compact Center. It was going to cost one
Speaker 4: hundred million dollars to renovate. We decided to sell the station.
Speaker 4: We sold it for a significant profit. Those funds were
Speaker 4: instrumental in us renovating this facility. But it all started
Speaker 4: with the tax issue. I couldn't see it at the time.
Speaker 4: I thought it was a bad break. I realize now
Speaker 4: it was all serving his plan. I've had the tax problem.
Speaker 4: I would have never met my attorney friend. Without the attorney,
Speaker 4: I would have never pursued the station. Without the station,
Speaker 4: we may not have had the funds to renovate this place.
Speaker 4: I wonder if you're upset over something that's serving his plan.
Speaker 4: A door that closed, a person that walked away, a
Speaker 4: delay that's taken longer than you thought, it doesn't make sense.
Speaker 4: Stay in peace. It's all a part of the plan.
Speaker 4: It looks like it's hindering you, really it's helping you.
Speaker 4: It feels like it's setting you back, but really it's
Speaker 4: setting you up for something you've never seen. God knows
Speaker 4: what you're going to need in the future. I never
Speaker 4: dreamed I would be a pastor never dream one day
Speaker 4: we would own the Compact Center. But God knew that
Speaker 4: tax problem that was somebody else's fault. That looked like
Speaker 4: a bad break. The truth is that was God ordering
Speaker 4: my steps into something that was unfair. And if you
Speaker 4: don't understand that everything serves his plan, you'll get discouraged, bitter,
Speaker 4: give up on dreams. This is what keeps many people
Speaker 4: from seeing what God was up to behind the scenes.
Speaker 4: The reason Joseph saw it all come together is he
Speaker 4: kept doing the right thing when the wrong thing was happening.
Speaker 4: He kept being good to people that weren't being good
Speaker 4: to him. He passed the task. Many of the challenges
Speaker 4: that you're facing now, the things that don't make sense,
Speaker 4: they don't have anything to do with now. It's positioning
Speaker 4: you for something in your future. If you will stay
Speaker 4: in faith, you will see how God will begin to
Speaker 4: connect the dots how it was all strategically orchestrated a
Speaker 4: part of his plan. There was a man out in
Speaker 4: his boat, and big storm came up and his boat sized.
Speaker 4: He was able to swim to the shore, but he
Speaker 4: ended up stranded on a deserted island all by himself.
Speaker 4: Week after week went by, and he was so miserable.
Speaker 4: He kept praying and praying for God to send somebody,
Speaker 4: but it seemed like the heavens were silent. Just when
Speaker 4: he didn't think it could get any worse. One day,
Speaker 4: while he was out gathering food, when he came back,
Speaker 4: the small thatched roof hut that he had built somehow
Speaker 4: caught on fire. He stood there and watched it go
Speaker 4: up in flames. It was like pouring salt on the wound.
Speaker 4: He said, God, I give up, ask you to help me,
Speaker 4: and one bad thing after another happens. About an hour later,
Speaker 4: he saw a boat way off in the distance. He
Speaker 4: perked up. It kept getting closer and closer. Sure enough,
Speaker 4: it was the Coastguard coming to rescue him. Couldn't believe it.
Speaker 4: Ran out there and gave him a big hug. Said
Speaker 4: how in the world did you find the captain said,
Speaker 4: we saw the smoke coming from the fire that you build.
Speaker 4: Sometimes what we think is a disappointment is really God
Speaker 4: positioning us for a new level. I didn't like the
Speaker 4: tax issue, but I do like being in the compact center.
Speaker 4: If your hut's on fire today, instead of being bitter complaining,
Speaker 4: have a new perspective. It's serving His plan. May not
Speaker 4: make sense now. Being in the pit is uncomfortable. Being
Speaker 4: falsely accused is not fair. The Judas kiss, the betrayal,
Speaker 4: the closed doors can be discouraging. You have to keep
Speaker 4: reminding yourself it's not working against you, it's working for you.
Speaker 4: Sooner than later, you're going to see what God was
Speaker 4: up to. A friend of mine had a dream to
Speaker 4: play professional football. He's extremely talented, very fast, and athletic.
Speaker 4: In high school, he was the star player, a running
Speaker 4: back that broke many of the school records. His future
Speaker 4: looked very bright. He started training harder than ever, getting
Speaker 4: ready for college. Coaches from major universities would attend his games.
Speaker 4: His junior year, he was offered a full scholarship to
Speaker 4: one of the most prestigious football schools. He was excited
Speaker 4: his dream was coming to pass, but during the fourth
Speaker 4: game in his senior year, he was hit below the
Speaker 4: knee and felt something pop. He tore his acl He
Speaker 4: laid on the field in shock, knowing that his season
Speaker 4: was over. He'd never had an injury, never missed a game.
Speaker 4: He was so disappointed. And he was raised in a
Speaker 4: good family, but they didn't know much about God. They
Speaker 4: didn't have any kind of faith. That wasn't a part
Speaker 4: of their life. A friend invited him to a youth camp.
Speaker 4: When he heard the minister speak, he felt something so
Speaker 4: strong on the inside. That night, he gave his life
Speaker 4: to Christ. It was a complete turnaround in his life.
Speaker 4: After the surgery. He was doing the rehab, trying to
Speaker 4: get back in shape, but sitting on the sidelines watching
Speaker 4: his team play, he began to feel new desires on
Speaker 4: the inside. He no longer wanted to play football. He
Speaker 4: wanted to become a pastor. Didn't make sense to his
Speaker 4: family his friends after years of training so hard, But
Speaker 4: he knew he was supposed to go into ministry. So
Speaker 4: he passed on the big football scholarship and he enrolled
Speaker 4: in a leadership college. Today, our friend Nick Nilson is
Speaker 4: one of our pastors here at Lakewood, a great minister.
Speaker 4: Nick told me if he had not had that injury.
Speaker 4: If God had not put his football career on hold,
Speaker 4: he would have never pursued ministry. God had to pause
Speaker 4: what Nick thought he wanted to do and redirect him
Speaker 4: to what he was created to do. But at first
Speaker 4: you know he was disappointed. It didn't make sense. But
Speaker 4: you don't know what God is up to. God will
Speaker 4: never close a door without opening a bigger and a
Speaker 4: better door. What you're tempted to be upset about today,
Speaker 4: If you'll keep the right attitude, one day you'll look
Speaker 4: back and say, like Nick, Lord, thank you for closing
Speaker 4: that door. Now I can see what you were doing,
Speaker 4: taking me somewhere that I never dreamed. Thank you for
Speaker 4: moving that person out of my life. I would have
Speaker 4: never met my amazing spouse. Thank you for not letting
Speaker 4: that company hire me. I would have never started my
Speaker 4: own business. Nick says, I still love football, but I
Speaker 4: wouldn't change a thing. This is what I was born
Speaker 4: to do. Well, Joel, why is this challenge taking so long?
Speaker 4: Why is anything happening? When is it going to turn
Speaker 4: around sometime? God is not removing the obstacle because He's
Speaker 4: using the obstacle to get us prepared. He's training us
Speaker 4: to get us ready for where He's taking us. We
Speaker 4: don't grow in the good times when everything's going our way.
Speaker 4: Everyone is for us, things are falling into place. We
Speaker 4: prefer that much better, but we wouldn't reach our potential.
Speaker 4: We grow when it's difficult, when there's resistance. We're uncomfortable
Speaker 4: when we have to stretch. That's why you can't pray
Speaker 4: away every challenge. You can't pray away everything you don't like.
Speaker 4: If the situation is not changing, then God is using
Speaker 4: the situation to change you. After Joshua died, the Israelites
Speaker 4: were in the Promised Land. They were living their dream.
Speaker 4: But the scripture says God left certain enemy armies in
Speaker 4: the land. He did this to teach warfare to the
Speaker 4: next generation of Israelites, who had no experience in battle.
Speaker 4: God could have had Joshua and the previous generations clear
Speaker 4: the path, wipe out all the opposition. The problem is
Speaker 4: this new generation, when they faced an enemy army, they
Speaker 4: would have been defeated. They wouldn't have had the strength,
Speaker 4: the experience, the training. So God on purpose left obstacles
Speaker 4: in their path. If God made everything easy for us,
Speaker 4: if we never had a judas kiss, a betrayal, a
Speaker 4: closed door. We wouldn't be ready for where we're going.
Speaker 4: God has amazing things in your future, things you've never imagined.
Speaker 4: But to get there, you're going to have to defeat
Speaker 4: some big giants, overcome some big obstacles, outlast some strong opposition.
Speaker 4: It's not going to happen if you're weak, if you
Speaker 4: get overwhelmed, Why is this happening. You have to stand
Speaker 4: strong and show the opposition that you're more determined than
Speaker 4: they are. God didn't bring you this far to leave you.
Speaker 4: That problem is not there to stop you. It's there
Speaker 4: to prepare you. That challenge is not going to defeat you.
Speaker 4: It's going to promote you. Every day you stay in faith,
Speaker 4: you thank God when nothing's happening, you do the right thing.
Speaker 4: When it's not improving, your spiritual muscles are growing. You're
Speaker 4: getting stronger, more determined, developing a greater trust in God.
Speaker 4: Instead of complaining about what's not turning around, see that
Speaker 4: as an opportunity to develop your faith. Don't just go
Speaker 4: through it, grow through it. It's serving his plan. It's
Speaker 4: there to get you prepared. Now you have to do
Speaker 4: your part, keep the right attitude, keep doing the right thing.
Speaker 4: When the wrong thing is happening, keep thanking God and
Speaker 4: you don't see any sign of it. Won't be discouraged
Speaker 4: because nothing's happening on the outside. Something's happening on the inside.
Speaker 4: You're getting stronger. In the Scripture three Times the apostle
Speaker 4: Paul prayed and asked God to remove the thorn from
Speaker 4: his side, something that was bothering him. God could have
Speaker 4: easily removed it. He parted red seas, he opened blind eyes.
Speaker 4: But God said to Paul, my grace is sufficient for you.
Speaker 4: His grace doesn't mean he's going to remove every challenge.
Speaker 4: Doesn't mean that every opposition is going to let up.
Speaker 4: It means he's going to increase your strength, so it
Speaker 4: doesn't feel as difficult. As you get stronger, what you're
Speaker 4: up against becomes easier. God didn't lessen what came against you.
Speaker 4: He simply added to your strength. Now you can handle
Speaker 4: what you couldn't handle in the past. What used to
Speaker 4: bother you, That bother you anymore. That coworker that used
Speaker 4: to always get on your nerves, sour your day, He
Speaker 4: hasn't changed. He's still the same old jerk. I mean,
Speaker 4: the same person. He didn't change, but look at you,
Speaker 4: you've changed. You. Don't let it steal your joy. You
Speaker 4: don't pay any attention to it. What's happening, you're growing.
Speaker 4: The obstacle is not changing, but it's changing you. That's
Speaker 4: God's plan working. You may have been dealing with situations
Speaker 4: for a long time that are not improving. You're tempted
Speaker 4: to get tired and worn down. I believe right now
Speaker 4: grace is coming on you in a new way. God
Speaker 4: is breathing, strengthenedo you, fresh vision, fresh passion, a second
Speaker 4: wind so you can outlast what's trying to stop you.
Speaker 4: Now you have to tap into disgrace. Don't go around.
Speaker 4: Why did the door close? Why did these people betray me?
Speaker 4: When is it going to change or turn it around? Father?
Speaker 4: Thank you that your grace is sufficient for everything that
Speaker 4: I'm facing. I may not understand it, but I know
Speaker 4: it's serving your plan. Now. I'm not going to just
Speaker 4: go through it. I'm going to grow through it now.
Speaker 4: I believe when it's all said and done, I'm not
Speaker 4: only going to come out, I'm going to come out better.
Speaker 4: The Psalmist said, all my troubles turned out for good.
Speaker 4: God is saying to you today. Everything that's come against
Speaker 4: you is going to turn out for your good. The
Speaker 4: Judas kiss didn't feel good, the betrayal, but it's going
Speaker 4: to turn out good. It's leading you to a resurrection,
Speaker 4: to something you've never seen. The betrayal wasn't fair, being
Speaker 4: in the pit was uncomfortable, but it's taking you to
Speaker 4: your palace, to new levels of influence. The football injury
Speaker 4: was discouraging, the closed door was disappointing, but God's about
Speaker 4: to open a door better than you've imagined. Perhaps your
Speaker 4: hut is on fire today, the medical reports not good.
Speaker 4: Child is off course. What you can't see is the
Speaker 4: most tied God is on the way. Something that looked
Speaker 4: permanent is about to suddenly turn around. I'm asking you

Speaker 4: about to come together new levels of favor, influence, opportunity, healing, breakthroughs,
Speaker 4: the fullness of your destiny in Jesus' name, And if
Speaker 4: you receive it, can you say him in today. What

Speaker 4: into my heart. I'll make you a lord and savior.
