Not like to start with something funny. 44 00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:07,480 Speaker 4: And one day Adam was feeling very lonely. God said 45 00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:10,680 Speaker 4: Adam I'm going to make you a companion. It's going 46 00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:14,080 Speaker 4: to be called a woman. This person will cook for 47 00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:18,280 Speaker 4: you and wash your clothes. She will bear you children 48 00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:20,440 Speaker 4: and never ask you to get up in the middle 49 00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:23,680 Speaker 4: of the night. She will always agree with you, and 50 00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:26,320 Speaker 4: if you have a disagreement, she'll be the first to 51 00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:30,200 Speaker 4: admit she was wrong. Adam said, Wile, God, what will 52 00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:33,240 Speaker 4: a woman like this cost? God said an arm and 53 00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:36,960 Speaker 4: a leg. Adam said, what can I get for a rib? 54 00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:41,080 Speaker 4: And the rest is history? Say it like you mean it. 55 00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:44,480 Speaker 4: This is my Bible. I am what it says. I am. 56 00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:47,240 Speaker 4: I have what it says I have. I can do 57 00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:49,800 Speaker 4: what it says I can do. Today I will be 58 00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:53,720 Speaker 4: taught the word of God. I boldly confess. My mind 59 00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:57,000 Speaker 4: is alert, my heart is receptive. I will never be 60 00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:02,200 Speaker 4: the same. In Jesus' name, bless you. I want to 61 00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:05,840 Speaker 4: talk to you today about sleep on. It's easy to 62 00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:09,840 Speaker 4: live frustrated because somebody's not doing what we want, or 63 00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:13,919 Speaker 4: discouraged because of a disappointment, upset because a dream hasn't 64 00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:18,839 Speaker 4: come to pass. But I've learned God doesn't remove every frustration. 65 00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:22,880 Speaker 4: He doesn't change every person we don't like and take 66 00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:27,480 Speaker 4: away everything that's bothering us. The scripture says be still 67 00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:31,799 Speaker 4: and know that He is God. This implies if we're 68 00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:36,960 Speaker 4: not still, if we're upset, worried, frustrated, we're not going 69 00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:40,560 Speaker 4: to know that he is God. Most of the times 70 00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:44,960 Speaker 4: I'm frustrated, I'm trying to change things that only God 71 00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:49,040 Speaker 4: can change. I'm trying to be God and fix things 72 00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:52,880 Speaker 4: that I can't control. You can't make people do what's right. 73 00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:56,680 Speaker 4: You can't make yourself do well. If you're trying to 74 00:03:56,960 --> 00:04:01,160 Speaker 4: control everything, you're going to be frustrated. You have to 75 00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:04,800 Speaker 4: turn it over to God. Do what you can, then 76 00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:08,480 Speaker 4: let him take care of the rest. Life is too 77 00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:12,400 Speaker 4: short to live frustrated because we're not getting our ways, 78 00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:17,960 Speaker 4: frustrated because something unfair has happened. God wouldn't have allowed 79 00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:20,760 Speaker 4: it if it was going to keep you from your purpose. 80 00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:24,280 Speaker 4: It's a test. Are you going to let it steal 81 00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:27,960 Speaker 4: your joy, live stressed out? Or are you going to 82 00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:31,960 Speaker 4: be still and know that He is God? If God 83 00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:35,120 Speaker 4: is not changing it, you have to be mature enough 84 00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:38,440 Speaker 4: to say, God, I don't like it, but I know 85 00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:41,640 Speaker 4: you've allowed it, and until you change it, I'm going 86 00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:45,200 Speaker 4: to stay in peace. And enjoy my life. The real 87 00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:50,960 Speaker 4: victory when God does everything you want, removes all your frustrations. 88 00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:54,840 Speaker 4: The real victory is when those things happen, but it 89 00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:58,680 Speaker 4: doesn't bother you anymore. You're at peace. You know God 90 00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:03,080 Speaker 4: is still in control. Matthew twenty six. Jesus was about 91 00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:06,320 Speaker 4: to be betrayed and go to the cross. He went 92 00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:10,440 Speaker 4: with his disciples to a place called Gasimone. He was 93 00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:14,400 Speaker 4: so troubled and so overwhelmed. He asked his disciples to 94 00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:18,160 Speaker 4: stay there and pray for him. He went away by himself, 95 00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:22,480 Speaker 4: fell on the ground, said, Father, if it's possible, take 96 00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:25,279 Speaker 4: this cup from me and a little while. He went 97 00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:28,760 Speaker 4: back to check on his disciples, hoping to gain some strength, 98 00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:32,200 Speaker 4: some encouragement from them. But when he showed up, he 99 00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:36,600 Speaker 4: found that they were all sound asleep. He couldn't believe it. 100 00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:39,599 Speaker 4: He woke them up and said, guys, couldn't you stay 101 00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:42,440 Speaker 4: up and pray for me? This is the biggest challenge 102 00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:46,039 Speaker 4: I've ever faced. He was kind of frustrated. He asked 103 00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:51,359 Speaker 4: them again, even more emphatically, please stay awake. The spirit 104 00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:55,440 Speaker 4: is willing, but the flesh is weak. Pray. Jesus went 105 00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:59,160 Speaker 4: again by himself, to pray. He thought, for sure, this 106 00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:02,240 Speaker 4: time they got the man. He came back a little later, 107 00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:07,279 Speaker 4: same thing, still sleeping. You can imagine how disappointed he was. 108 00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:11,640 Speaker 4: He turned around, went back to pray some more. Then 109 00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:14,440 Speaker 4: he thought, I'll go check on them one last time. 110 00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:18,000 Speaker 4: This third time, I know they'll be praying. After all 111 00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:20,440 Speaker 4: I've done for them. I know they'll be standing in 112 00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:23,440 Speaker 4: faith with me. He went back the third time, but 113 00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:27,760 Speaker 4: they were still sleeping. This time, he didn't try to 114 00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:31,200 Speaker 4: wake them up. He didn't try to get them to 115 00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:34,640 Speaker 4: before him. He looked at them and said sleep on. 116 00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:38,080 Speaker 4: He came to the point where he didn't let it 117 00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:41,719 Speaker 4: bother him anymore. He could have kept waking them up, 118 00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:47,280 Speaker 4: trying to make it happen, being frustrated. Instead, he accepted 119 00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:50,960 Speaker 4: he wasn't going to have their support. He accepted it 120 00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:54,640 Speaker 4: wasn't going to work out his way. He didn't fight it. 121 00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:58,680 Speaker 4: He didn't let it frustrate him anymore. He said sleep 122 00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:03,680 Speaker 4: on and moved forward. There are times in life when 123 00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:06,400 Speaker 4: things don't work out the way we want it. The 124 00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:09,720 Speaker 4: people we were counting on weren't there for us. The 125 00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:14,480 Speaker 4: medical report wasn't good, the dream isn't happening on our timetable. 126 00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:18,480 Speaker 4: We could be frustrated. We did the right thing, we 127 00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:22,040 Speaker 4: stayed in faith, but it's not working out. You have 128 00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:26,560 Speaker 4: to do what Jesus did. Tell the disappointment, tell the delay, 129 00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:31,239 Speaker 4: tell the frustration. Sleep on. You're not going to bother 130 00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:34,440 Speaker 4: me anymore. I know God is still on the throne. 131 00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:37,640 Speaker 4: I know he's fighting my battles and he will get 132 00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:40,840 Speaker 4: me to where I'm supposed to be. Are there some 133 00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:44,680 Speaker 4: things you need to tell? Sleep on? That person you've 134 00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:48,000 Speaker 4: been trying to change, No matter how hard you try, 135 00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:51,440 Speaker 4: they won't do what you want. It's time to say 136 00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:55,920 Speaker 4: sleep on. You can't control people. You can't make them 137 00:07:55,960 --> 00:08:00,600 Speaker 4: do what's right. Pray for them, be respectful, but don't 138 00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:04,480 Speaker 4: go the next thirty years letting them frustrate you. Two 139 00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:09,440 Speaker 4: simple words can change your life. Sleep on. Jesus wanted 140 00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:13,440 Speaker 4: his disciples support. He deserved it, he had been good 141 00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:18,080 Speaker 4: to them. But sometimes God will pull back people's support. 142 00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:22,200 Speaker 4: He knows if they're there all the time, then you 143 00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:25,480 Speaker 4: would become dependent on them. You would think they were 144 00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:29,680 Speaker 4: your source, they were your savior. You don't need everyone 145 00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:33,240 Speaker 4: you think you need. God has already lined up the 146 00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:36,120 Speaker 4: right people to come into your life to help you 147 00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:40,520 Speaker 4: reach your destiny. The right people. You don't have to 148 00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:43,599 Speaker 4: play up to. You don't have to try to manipulate, 149 00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:47,320 Speaker 4: convince them to be for you, convince them to stay away. 150 00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:51,360 Speaker 4: They'll be for you through thick and thin. They'll show 151 00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:54,520 Speaker 4: up when you didn't ask. They'll encourage you when nobody 152 00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:59,160 Speaker 4: else is around. But sometimes we're being frustrated by people 153 00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:03,000 Speaker 4: that are going to be for us. We're spending all 154 00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:06,360 Speaker 4: this energy trying to win them over, no matter how 155 00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:09,280 Speaker 4: good we are to them. Every time we need them, 156 00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:14,320 Speaker 4: they're asleep, they're busy, they're not interested. I've heard it 157 00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:18,160 Speaker 4: said quit swimming across an ocean to be good to 158 00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:21,760 Speaker 4: someone that won't walk across a puddle to be good 159 00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:26,439 Speaker 4: to you. And I'm all for overcoming evil with good, 160 00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:31,160 Speaker 4: blessing our enemies, But the scripture says, don't cast your 161 00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:36,439 Speaker 4: pearl among swine. Your pearl is your gift, your personality, 162 00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:39,600 Speaker 4: your annoying, it's who God made you to be. Some 163 00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:44,040 Speaker 4: people won't value your pearl. They won't respect your gift, 164 00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:47,720 Speaker 4: they won't recognize what you have to offer. The calling, 165 00:09:47,840 --> 00:09:50,920 Speaker 4: the favor on your life and your time is too 166 00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:55,400 Speaker 4: valuable to waste it with people that discount your pearl. 167 00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:58,959 Speaker 4: Don't hang around people that try to lessen you, or 168 00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:00,679 Speaker 4: you feel like you have to p Prove to them 169 00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:03,360 Speaker 4: who you are. Prove to them why they should be 170 00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:07,360 Speaker 4: your friend. You don't need their approval. You have Almighty 171 00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:12,000 Speaker 4: God's approval. He breeds his life into you. He crowned 172 00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:15,920 Speaker 4: you with favor. You have royal blood flowing through your veins. 173 00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:20,520 Speaker 4: Hang around people that celebrate your pearl, people that polish 174 00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:24,880 Speaker 4: your pearl, people that respect your pearl. Too often we're 175 00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:28,280 Speaker 4: trying to drag someone along. Convince them to like us, 176 00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:31,920 Speaker 4: Convince them to stay awake. Do yourself a favor, tell 177 00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:35,559 Speaker 4: them sleep on. If you'll let go of the wrong people, 178 00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:40,200 Speaker 4: God will bring the right people. He'll send you divine connections, 179 00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:44,800 Speaker 4: people that will love you for who you are and 180 00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:47,320 Speaker 4: not for what you can do for them. People that 181 00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:50,120 Speaker 4: will inspire you to go further. People that will bring 182 00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:52,760 Speaker 4: out the best in you. People that will cause your 183 00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:57,199 Speaker 4: pearl to shine. But Jesus was wise enough to recognize 184 00:10:57,320 --> 00:11:01,160 Speaker 4: the disciples couldn't stop the plant God for his life. 185 00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:05,200 Speaker 4: Their lack of support couldn't keep him from doing what 186 00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:08,559 Speaker 4: his father called him to do, and they were good people. 187 00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:13,560 Speaker 4: They loved him. But sometimes good people won't be there 188 00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:16,959 Speaker 4: for you. It's a test. Are you going to get 189 00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:20,920 Speaker 4: frustrated and keep trying to wake them up or are 190 00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:24,640 Speaker 4: you going to recognize it's a new season and say 191 00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:28,920 Speaker 4: sleep on. Here's the key. If they didn't wake up, 192 00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:32,440 Speaker 4: you don't need them for this season. If they're not 193 00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:35,840 Speaker 4: giving you what they used to give you, that means 194 00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:39,280 Speaker 4: God has taken you to a higher level. He's winning 195 00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:43,439 Speaker 4: you off the support, the encouragement. It's like a little baby. 196 00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:47,320 Speaker 4: They love to have their bottle, makes them comfortable, makes 197 00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:50,679 Speaker 4: them feel secure, and that's fine as long as they're 198 00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:53,240 Speaker 4: a year or too old. But if they're forty seven 199 00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:57,600 Speaker 4: walking around with that bottle, that's a problem. But as parents, 200 00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:01,240 Speaker 4: when we take the bottle away from our children, they 201 00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:05,600 Speaker 4: don't like it, they're uncomfortable, but we do it so 202 00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:11,200 Speaker 4: it won't limit their growth. Sometimes God will make you uncomfortable. 203 00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:15,079 Speaker 4: He'll take something away that you were used to. A 204 00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:18,560 Speaker 4: friend that always called and encouraged you, a coworker that 205 00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:21,360 Speaker 4: always helped you with the report, a neighbor you could 206 00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:25,520 Speaker 4: always count on to go somewhere together. It's because God 207 00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:28,880 Speaker 4: is winning you off that bottle, so to speak. As 208 00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:32,760 Speaker 4: long as you're dependent on people, it will limit how 209 00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:37,520 Speaker 4: high you can go when God removes the support. When 210 00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:40,320 Speaker 4: he takes away someone that you were used to, don't 211 00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:43,559 Speaker 4: get mad at them. Don't keep trying to wake them up. 212 00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:47,040 Speaker 4: God put them to sleep. You can't open a door 213 00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:50,680 Speaker 4: that God is closed. That friend that's not there anymore. 214 00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:54,679 Speaker 4: The disappointment, you may not like it. It may be painful, 215 00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:59,600 Speaker 4: but it's ordained by God. You have to recognize that's 216 00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:03,160 Speaker 4: a sign you'll come in up higher. That discomfort means 217 00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:07,280 Speaker 4: you'll go into a new level. Everyone that's with you 218 00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:10,520 Speaker 4: now may not be able to go where you're going. 219 00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:15,199 Speaker 4: Some people are like scaffolding. They come into your life 220 00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:18,200 Speaker 4: for a season to help you reach a certain level. 221 00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:21,400 Speaker 4: But at some point God is going to remove the 222 00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:25,320 Speaker 4: scaffolding so you can shine. It's not that they're not 223 00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:29,000 Speaker 4: good people, but their part in your story is over. 224 00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:33,520 Speaker 4: God's taken you to a higher level. Quit being frustrated 225 00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:36,719 Speaker 4: by somebody that's not supporting you like they used to. 226 00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:39,440 Speaker 4: Why don't they call me anymore? Joel? Why don't they 227 00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:42,880 Speaker 4: compliment me? The right attitude is I love you, I 228 00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:45,880 Speaker 4: respect you, but I don't have to have your support, 229 00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:51,040 Speaker 4: your compliment, your encouragement. Sleep on. We spend too much 230 00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:55,280 Speaker 4: time trying to get people's approval, trying to get them 231 00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:58,760 Speaker 4: to validate us. Then we'll feel good about ourselves. The 232 00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:03,040 Speaker 4: problem with get your validation from people is people can 233 00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:07,280 Speaker 4: change their mind. One moment, people were cheering for Jesus, 234 00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:12,640 Speaker 4: shouting Hosanna, waving palm branches. A few days later, those 235 00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:18,240 Speaker 4: same people were shouting crucifying. People can have a short memory, 236 00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:20,960 Speaker 4: people can go to sleep. And if you're getting your 237 00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:24,160 Speaker 4: value based on what people give you, how much they 238 00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:27,680 Speaker 4: compliment you, then if for some reason they stop doing that, 239 00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:31,640 Speaker 4: you'll forget who you are. Your self worth is coming 240 00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:35,280 Speaker 4: from them. Quit relying on people and go to God. 241 00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:39,920 Speaker 4: You don't need their approval. You have God's approval. But 242 00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:43,880 Speaker 4: in life we all go through gasmone. We all have 243 00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:48,560 Speaker 4: disappointments and things we don't understand. But I've learned God 244 00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:53,800 Speaker 4: gives us grace for every gosmone grace for every unfair situation. 245 00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:57,440 Speaker 4: It's very freeing when you can look at the people 246 00:14:57,480 --> 00:15:00,600 Speaker 4: that have left, you can look at the disappointment and 247 00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:05,120 Speaker 4: say sleep on. Amazing things are up ahead if you 248 00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:09,400 Speaker 4: don't give up in Gossemone. Yes, there will be crosses 249 00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:13,880 Speaker 4: to bear, betrayals, setbacks, but can I encourage you? If 250 00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:17,880 Speaker 4: you keep moving forward, there will be resurrections, There will 251 00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:21,240 Speaker 4: be new beginnings, times where God pays you back for 252 00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:25,800 Speaker 4: what was unfair, Times were God catapult you years ahead. 253 00:15:26,520 --> 00:15:31,160 Speaker 4: Don't get stuck in Gasemone. Don't let the sickness cause 254 00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:34,880 Speaker 4: you to become bitter. You don't understand it, it's not fair. 255 00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:39,080 Speaker 4: You could say God, why this doesn't make sense? Or 256 00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:42,480 Speaker 4: you can look at the frustration, the discouragement, the fear 257 00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:45,720 Speaker 4: and say sleep on. I'm not going to drag through 258 00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:49,080 Speaker 4: this day defeated. I may be in Gosemite, but I 259 00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:53,960 Speaker 4: know a resurrection is coming. Gasemone doesn't have to stop you. 260 00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:57,720 Speaker 4: God wouldn't have allowed it if it wasn't going to 261 00:15:57,840 --> 00:16:02,880 Speaker 4: somehow move you towards your The next time that coworker 262 00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:06,280 Speaker 4: is rude to you, instead of being upset, just smile 263 00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:10,480 Speaker 4: and say sleep on. When that car cuts you off 264 00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:14,040 Speaker 4: in traffic, instead of saying what you normally say, try 265 00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:18,760 Speaker 4: a new approach. Sleep on. You're not approving their behavior. 266 00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:23,720 Speaker 4: You're not enabling them. You're simply saying your actions are 267 00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:26,920 Speaker 4: not going to control my life. This traffic is not 268 00:16:26,960 --> 00:16:30,200 Speaker 4: going to ruin my morning, This setback is not going 269 00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:33,960 Speaker 4: to sour the rest of my future. Maybe you need 270 00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:38,360 Speaker 4: to tell your past, sleep on. You had a tough childhood, 271 00:16:38,880 --> 00:16:41,800 Speaker 4: you went through a rough divorce, you lost a loved one. 272 00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:46,840 Speaker 4: Tell the hurts, tell the questions, tell the failures. Sleep On. 273 00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:51,960 Speaker 4: I've learned you're either feeding your history or you're feeding 274 00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:56,400 Speaker 4: your destiny. But you can't feed both. You're either looking back, 275 00:16:57,320 --> 00:17:01,480 Speaker 4: living in regrets, thinking of everything that went wrong, or 276 00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:05,240 Speaker 4: you're looking ahead saying, God, I know what was meant 277 00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:08,320 Speaker 4: for harm. You're turning to my advantage. I know you 278 00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:11,639 Speaker 4: have beauty for these ashes. I know weeping indoors for 279 00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:15,160 Speaker 4: a night, but joy's coming in the morning. If you're 280 00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:19,720 Speaker 4: always feeding your history, you're going to be frustrated, guilty, 281 00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:24,360 Speaker 4: angry in self pity. Do yourself a favor. Tell your history, 282 00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:29,679 Speaker 4: sleep On. You can't go forward if you're always looking backwards. 283 00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:33,479 Speaker 4: You can't see the new things on the horizon. If 284 00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:37,879 Speaker 4: you're focused on what's behind, Start feeding your destiny. Father, 285 00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:40,679 Speaker 4: thank you that your plans for me are for good. 286 00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:43,359 Speaker 4: Thank you that the path of the righteous gets brighter 287 00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:46,040 Speaker 4: and brighter. Thank you that you hold victory in store 288 00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:49,280 Speaker 4: for the upright. If you'll get your mind going in 289 00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:52,640 Speaker 4: the right direction, your life will go in the right direction. 290 00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:56,160 Speaker 4: I talked to a gentleman last week. He'd gone through 291 00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:59,800 Speaker 4: a lot of disappointments. His marriage of many years had ended, 292 00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:04,800 Speaker 4: a very successful career went downhill, everything fell apart. He 293 00:18:04,880 --> 00:18:08,119 Speaker 4: was so discouraged he was going to end his life. 294 00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:10,320 Speaker 4: He got in his car and was driving to a 295 00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:14,040 Speaker 4: remote place. He turned the radio on and just so 296 00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:17,720 Speaker 4: happened to tune into our serious exem station. I was 297 00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:21,800 Speaker 4: talking about not looking back, not reliving the hurts and failures, 298 00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:25,359 Speaker 4: and how God has good things up ahead. He said, 299 00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:29,080 Speaker 4: when he heard that, it was like somebody breathed new 300 00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:33,520 Speaker 4: life into his spirit. Strongholds in his mind were broken. 301 00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:37,680 Speaker 4: He turned around, went back home. Today he's back on track, 302 00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:42,000 Speaker 4: living a life of victory. What happened He quit feeding 303 00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:46,600 Speaker 4: his history and he started feeding his destiny. If you 304 00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:50,679 Speaker 4: feed your history long enough, it will pull you into depression. 305 00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:54,000 Speaker 4: The enemy would love to keep you so focused on 306 00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:57,440 Speaker 4: your hurts and what didn't work out that you're too 307 00:18:57,520 --> 00:19:02,000 Speaker 4: discouraged to move forward, fall into that trap. You wouldn't 308 00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:06,119 Speaker 4: be alive unless God had something amazing in front of you. 309 00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:10,160 Speaker 4: You may be in Yosemite, a place of discouragement frustration, 310 00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:13,399 Speaker 4: but if you'll say sleep on and start thinking some 311 00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:16,920 Speaker 4: new thoughts, then you're headed for a resurrection. You're headed 312 00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:20,600 Speaker 4: for a new beginning, a place of restoration. A few 313 00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:22,919 Speaker 4: years ago, I was flying to an event with some 314 00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:25,639 Speaker 4: of our staff, and we were on a smaller plane 315 00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:29,080 Speaker 4: that held a couple dozen people. After it took off, 316 00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:31,439 Speaker 4: I wanted to open up my tray table so I 317 00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:35,080 Speaker 4: could write some notes. The table was in the side 318 00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:38,960 Speaker 4: of the plane, right underneath the window. I pulled and pulled, 319 00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:41,800 Speaker 4: but I couldn't get it open. My friend was sitting 320 00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:45,119 Speaker 4: across the aisle. His looked exactly the same, and he 321 00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:48,600 Speaker 4: pulled his straight out no problem. I went back to 322 00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:52,200 Speaker 4: mine and I pulled, I yanked, I struggled. I thought, 323 00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:54,520 Speaker 4: I'm going to get this table open if it's the 324 00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:58,400 Speaker 4: last thing I do. It was stuck. My friend came over. 325 00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:01,040 Speaker 4: He started pulling and pulling up other staff member. They 326 00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:04,639 Speaker 4: pulled and pulled. It wouldn't budge. I sat across the aisle. 327 00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:08,600 Speaker 4: Kind of frustrated about that time, I looked up and 328 00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:12,000 Speaker 4: over the window where we had been pulling, there was 329 00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:16,199 Speaker 4: a sign with big bold letters. It read not a 330 00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:23,840 Speaker 4: trade table, emergency exit only. Sometimes what we're frustrated about 331 00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:29,560 Speaker 4: is God keeping us from real frustration. In my case, 332 00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:35,639 Speaker 4: God keeping me alive. If God answered all of our prayers, 333 00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:39,320 Speaker 4: opened every door we asked him to open, brought every 334 00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:43,439 Speaker 4: person we begged him to bring, we wouldn't reach our destiny. 335 00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:46,560 Speaker 4: The longer I live, the easier it is for me 336 00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:50,440 Speaker 4: to say sleep on. I may not understand it, it 337 00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:53,639 Speaker 4: may not make sense, but I've learned God is smarter 338 00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:56,720 Speaker 4: than I am. He can see things I cannot see. 339 00:20:56,760 --> 00:21:01,400 Speaker 4: He knows what he's doing. I wonder if what's frustrating 340 00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:05,439 Speaker 4: you has an emergency exit only sign on it, and 341 00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:08,720 Speaker 4: you can't see it. You don't understand why God won't 342 00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:11,560 Speaker 4: answer the prayer, why the dream is taking so long, 343 00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:15,000 Speaker 4: and why that guy at work you like so much 344 00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:18,840 Speaker 4: hasn't even noticed you. You've worn your best clothes, your 345 00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:21,720 Speaker 4: best perfume, given him your best move. He acts like 346 00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:26,679 Speaker 4: he's dead. Maybe it's because God can see something you 347 00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:31,720 Speaker 4: can't see. Maybe under his shirt is an emergency exit 348 00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:37,040 Speaker 4: only sign that's hidden from you. God has your best 349 00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:40,720 Speaker 4: interests at heart. If he's not giving you what you want, 350 00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:44,200 Speaker 4: that means he has something better. He loves you too 351 00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:47,840 Speaker 4: much to let you miss your destiny. A couple of 352 00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:50,880 Speaker 4: years after I took over from my father, the church 353 00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:54,520 Speaker 4: started to grow and we needed a larger auditorium. We 354 00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:58,080 Speaker 4: found one hundred acre tract of land right by the 355 00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:01,359 Speaker 4: other location, a few miles away on the freeway. It 356 00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:05,159 Speaker 4: seemed perfect. The owner told us the property had been 357 00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:08,080 Speaker 4: on the market for twenty years. We knew God had 358 00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:11,439 Speaker 4: saved that property for us. He said we didn't need 359 00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:14,000 Speaker 4: to sign the contract right then. We could do some 360 00:22:14,080 --> 00:22:18,119 Speaker 4: preliminary drawings and do some soil samples while the paperwork 361 00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:21,480 Speaker 4: was getting taken care of. Several months later, we went 362 00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:24,560 Speaker 4: to close on the property. We had an eight o'clock 363 00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:27,560 Speaker 4: in the morning appointment. We showed up at seven point 364 00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:31,840 Speaker 4: forty five. The secretary walked out said, I'm sorry, the 365 00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:35,919 Speaker 4: owner sold the property last night. I couldn't believe it. 366 00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:39,640 Speaker 4: He didn't keep his word. I went home so disappointed. 367 00:22:40,119 --> 00:22:42,840 Speaker 4: I told Victoria what happened and how there was no 368 00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:45,680 Speaker 4: more property, and how now we were stuck. She looked 369 00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:49,480 Speaker 4: at me and said, Joel, this means God has something better. 370 00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:53,920 Speaker 4: He closed this door for a reason. She started preaching 371 00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:57,120 Speaker 4: to me one of my own sermons. I didn't want 372 00:22:57,119 --> 00:23:00,800 Speaker 4: to hear that. She was saying, sleep on. I said, no, no, 373 00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:05,159 Speaker 4: wake up, this is bad. I had to do what 374 00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:07,640 Speaker 4: I'm asking you to do. I said, God, I don't 375 00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:11,800 Speaker 4: understand it. It doesn't seem fair. But God, I trust you. 376 00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:16,159 Speaker 4: I believe you know what's best. Several months later, we 377 00:23:16,240 --> 00:23:19,199 Speaker 4: found another piece of property. It seemed better than the 378 00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:22,520 Speaker 4: first one. We went to close on it. The same 379 00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:26,320 Speaker 4: thing happened. They sold it out from under us. If 380 00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:28,960 Speaker 4: you don't pass the test the first time, you get 381 00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:32,520 Speaker 4: to take it again this time. I said, God, I'm 382 00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:34,840 Speaker 4: glad they sold the property. I didn't want it in 383 00:23:34,880 --> 00:23:38,679 Speaker 4: the first place. God knew I was lying, but it 384 00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:44,000 Speaker 4: felt good. But six months later, a friend called said, Joel, 385 00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:47,600 Speaker 4: the Houston Rockets basketball team is moving out of the 386 00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:51,080 Speaker 4: Compact Center. That would be a perfect place for Lakewood. 387 00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:55,040 Speaker 4: When he said that, something came alive on the inside. 388 00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:58,280 Speaker 4: I knew that's why God had closed those doors. He 389 00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:01,679 Speaker 4: had something bigger. I never dreamed we could have the 390 00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:05,159 Speaker 4: compact center. Things fell into place. Here we are today. 391 00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:08,399 Speaker 4: What am I saying the things you're tempted to be 392 00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:12,720 Speaker 4: frustrated about today? If you will stay in faith, one 393 00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:17,080 Speaker 4: day you'll look back and say, like me, while God, 394 00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:22,240 Speaker 4: you outdid yourself. I never dreamed i'd meet somebody this great. 395 00:24:22,960 --> 00:24:26,200 Speaker 4: I never dreamed i'd feel this healthy. I never dreamed 396 00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:29,280 Speaker 4: you'd take me this far. God's plan for your life 397 00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:32,679 Speaker 4: is so much bigger than your own. The real question 398 00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:36,800 Speaker 4: is what will you do in Gasemone when it's not 399 00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:40,200 Speaker 4: working out your way, When your friends aren't there for you, 400 00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:43,199 Speaker 4: when the contract doesn't go through, when the medical report 401 00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:47,320 Speaker 4: is not good. Too many people don't see their resurrection 402 00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:52,000 Speaker 4: because they get bitter in Gasemone, God, why did they 403 00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:55,280 Speaker 4: fall asleep? Why did they sell it out from under us? 404 00:24:55,640 --> 00:25:00,239 Speaker 4: Gasemone is the real test. We like when everything's going right, 405 00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:04,040 Speaker 4: but that's not when we grow the most. Gausimone is 406 00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:07,320 Speaker 4: where you can be promoted. God is seeing what you're 407 00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:10,720 Speaker 4: made of. He's seeing if you're ready, if you'll stay 408 00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:13,560 Speaker 4: in peace, if you'll be still and know that he 409 00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:17,560 Speaker 4: is God, then he'll take you into your resurrection. The 410 00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:20,240 Speaker 4: way you know you're ready to be promoted is not 411 00:25:20,359 --> 00:25:24,200 Speaker 4: that God has removed all your difficulties, but you don't 412 00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:28,760 Speaker 4: let them frustrate you anymore. You've learned this principle. Two 413 00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:34,080 Speaker 4: simple words sleep on. Maybe these two words could help 414 00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:37,200 Speaker 4: you get your joy back. Two words could help you 415 00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:39,679 Speaker 4: sleep through the night. Two words could bring you peace. 416 00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:40,439 Speaker 5: Sleep on. 417 00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:44,320 Speaker 4: I read about a lady that was complaining about everything 418 00:25:44,359 --> 00:25:47,280 Speaker 4: that went wrong that day. She said, God, why did 419 00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:50,800 Speaker 4: you let so many bad things happen? My alarm didn't 420 00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:54,080 Speaker 4: go off and I was late to work. At lunch, 421 00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:56,200 Speaker 4: they made the wrong sandwich and I had to send 422 00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:59,560 Speaker 4: it back. Driving home, my cell phone drop the call 423 00:25:59,800 --> 00:26:02,800 Speaker 4: in the middle of the conversation. To top it off. 424 00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:05,040 Speaker 4: When I got home, I wanted to put my feet 425 00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:08,400 Speaker 4: in the foot massager, but it wouldn't turn on. God said, 426 00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:11,040 Speaker 4: all right, let me go down the list. Your alarm 427 00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:13,919 Speaker 4: didn't go off because there was a drunk driver on 428 00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:17,240 Speaker 4: the road. I delayed you on purpose so you wouldn't 429 00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:20,600 Speaker 4: be harmed. You had to send your sandwich back because 430 00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:24,199 Speaker 4: the first person that made it wasn't feeling well. I 431 00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:26,520 Speaker 4: didn't want you to catch what they had, so I 432 00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:29,320 Speaker 4: had somebody else make you a new one. The cell 433 00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:32,639 Speaker 4: phone dropped the call because that person was about to 434 00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:34,960 Speaker 4: fill you with gossip and I didn't want you to 435 00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:39,119 Speaker 4: be contaminated. And the foot massager, it had a short 436 00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:41,480 Speaker 4: in it. If you would have turned it on, it 437 00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:44,080 Speaker 4: would have knocked out the power. And I didn't think 438 00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:47,200 Speaker 4: you wanted to sit around in the dark all night. 439 00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:51,440 Speaker 4: Could it be what's frustrating you is really the hand 440 00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:55,119 Speaker 4: of God. Could it be He's behind the scenes doing 441 00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:59,119 Speaker 4: things you can't see, But it's for your good, protecting you, 442 00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:06,440 Speaker 4: guiding you, positioning you. Nothing happens without God's permission. We're 443 00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:09,560 Speaker 4: not always going to understand it. This is when we 444 00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:13,720 Speaker 4: have to trust him. You may be in gsemone today. 445 00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:18,000 Speaker 4: You have a good reason to be upset, frustrated. I'm 446 00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:21,280 Speaker 4: asking you to do what Jesus did. Tell the frustration, 447 00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:26,040 Speaker 4: tell the past, tell the disappointment, sleep on. It may 448 00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:29,680 Speaker 4: not be fair, but God sees what's happening. He has 449 00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:33,000 Speaker 4: you in the palm of his hand. He's breathing in 450 00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:37,000 Speaker 4: your direction right now. Don't give up. In gasemone, you 451 00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:40,359 Speaker 4: are close to your breakthrough. You are close to a 452 00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:44,160 Speaker 4: new level. If you will pass this test. I believe 453 00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:47,879 Speaker 4: and declare you're going to come out of gossemone into 454 00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:53,160 Speaker 4: your resurrection. You're going to see promotion, healing, restoration, vindication. 455 00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:57,320 Speaker 4: God's going to turn the frustration into favor. You're going 456 00:27:57,400 --> 00:28:01,640 Speaker 4: to rise higher, accomplish dreams and be come everything He's 457 00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:05,119 Speaker 4: created you to be in Jesus' name. And if you 458 00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:09,439 Speaker 4: receive it, can you say amen? Today I'd like to 459 00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:12,439 Speaker 4: give you an opportunity to make Jesus the lord of 460 00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:16,760 Speaker 4: your life. Would you pray with me? Just say, Lord Jesus, 461 00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:22,600 Speaker 4: I'll repent of my sins. Come into my heart. I 462 00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:26,639 Speaker 4: make you my Lord and savior. If you prayed that 463 00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:29,840 Speaker 4: simple prayer, we believe you got born again.
