He was walking down the street when 12 00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:36,720 Speaker 1: he came upon this group of young boys that were 13 00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:40,120 Speaker 1: surrounding a small dog. He asked what they were doing, 14 00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:43,760 Speaker 1: and they explained they were having a contest. Whoever could 15 00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:46,479 Speaker 1: tell the biggest lie would get to keep the dog. 16 00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:50,440 Speaker 1: He launched into a ten minute sermon, starting with don't 17 00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:53,640 Speaker 1: you know lying is a sin? And ending with when 18 00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:56,680 Speaker 1: I was your age, I never told a lie. There 19 00:00:56,720 --> 00:00:59,160 Speaker 1: was complete silence, and just when he thought he had 20 00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:02,080 Speaker 1: gotten through to them, the youngest boy spoke up and said, 21 00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:06,120 Speaker 1: all right, give him the dog. Say it like you 22 00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:09,080 Speaker 1: mean it. This is my Bible. I am what it 23 00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:11,560 Speaker 1: says I am. I have what it says I have. 24 00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:14,720 Speaker 1: I can do what it says I can do. Today 25 00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:18,280 Speaker 1: I will be taught the word of God. I boldly confess. 26 00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:22,160 Speaker 1: My mind is alert, my heart is receptive. I will 27 00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:25,880 Speaker 1: never be the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you. 28 00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:30,000 Speaker 1: I want to talk to you today about right on time. 29 00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:33,920 Speaker 1: We all have things we're waiting on. Waiting for a 30 00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:37,200 Speaker 1: dream to come to pass, waiting for a health to improve, 31 00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:40,880 Speaker 1: waiting to meet the right person. We know God put 32 00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:43,800 Speaker 1: the promise in our heart, but we wonder why it's 33 00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:47,680 Speaker 1: taking so long. But the scripture talks about how there 34 00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:51,280 Speaker 1: is an appointed time for the promise to be fulfilled. 35 00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:55,560 Speaker 1: If there's a right time, that means any other time 36 00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:59,360 Speaker 1: is the wrong time. And if you don't understand that 37 00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:03,480 Speaker 1: God will always be right on time, then the delays, 38 00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:07,640 Speaker 1: the detours, the waiting periods will cause you to be frustrated. 39 00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:11,520 Speaker 1: It's not enough to just trust God. You have to 40 00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:16,880 Speaker 1: trust his timing. He knows when you're ready. He knows 41 00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:19,840 Speaker 1: when it's the right person, when to open the door, 42 00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:23,560 Speaker 1: when to turn it around. If it's not happening yet 43 00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:27,000 Speaker 1: you have to be mature enough to accept that it's 44 00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:30,840 Speaker 1: not the right time. Instead of living upset, why don't 45 00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:34,359 Speaker 1: you do like David and say, God, my times are 46 00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:37,799 Speaker 1: in your hands. You know when to bless me, when 47 00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:41,200 Speaker 1: to promote me, when to deliver me. God, I trust 48 00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:47,440 Speaker 1: your timing. Hebrews says, through faith and patience we inherit 49 00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:51,120 Speaker 1: the promises. It's easy to have faith, it's easy to 50 00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:55,799 Speaker 1: believe for your dreams. But faith without patience can get 51 00:02:55,800 --> 00:03:00,000 Speaker 1: you into trouble. Just ask Moses. As a young man. 52 00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:03,720 Speaker 1: He knew he was supposed to deliver the Israelites. He 53 00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:07,360 Speaker 1: had the promise, but he didn't have the patience. He 54 00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:10,280 Speaker 1: got in a hurry and killed a man that was 55 00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:14,640 Speaker 1: mistreating a Hebrew slave. His heart was right, but his 56 00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:17,960 Speaker 1: timing was off. He had to flee for his life. 57 00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:22,200 Speaker 1: He spent forty years in the desert, all because he 58 00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:26,320 Speaker 1: got out of God's timing. Psalm one oh six says 59 00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:31,280 Speaker 1: they did not wait for God's plan to unfold. What 60 00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:35,160 Speaker 1: you're believing for may be taking longer than you thought. 61 00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:38,960 Speaker 1: You're not making progress, not seeing a dream come to pass. 62 00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:43,400 Speaker 1: But God knows what he's doing. Don't try to force 63 00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:48,680 Speaker 1: things to happen. You don't have to promote yourself, manipulate people, 64 00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:52,920 Speaker 1: convince them to like you. Yes, we should be determined, 65 00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:56,400 Speaker 1: but you don't have to beat down a door. At 66 00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:59,920 Speaker 1: the right time, things will fall into place. At the 67 00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:03,960 Speaker 1: right time, the right people will show up. Now do 68 00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:08,440 Speaker 1: your part and wait for the promise to unfold. You're 69 00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:12,440 Speaker 1: not falling behind, you're not being left out. You're right 70 00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:17,360 Speaker 1: on schedule. God is working behind the scenes. You may 71 00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:19,680 Speaker 1: not be able to see it, but he's lining up 72 00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:23,719 Speaker 1: the right people. He's arranging the right breaks, he's ordering 73 00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:27,719 Speaker 1: your steps. Be patient and you'll see his plan unfold 74 00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:33,160 Speaker 1: Matthew eleven. In the message translation, it talks about the 75 00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:38,839 Speaker 1: unforced rhythms of grace. Unforced means you don't have to struggle, 76 00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:44,120 Speaker 1: fight against everything make it happen. You can relax and 77 00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:48,320 Speaker 1: live at rest knowing that God is unfolding His plan 78 00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:53,320 Speaker 1: may not be happening on your timetable, but God knows 79 00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:57,200 Speaker 1: when the right time is. If you don't understand this, 80 00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:00,520 Speaker 1: you'll wonder why isn't it happening faster? Why am I 81 00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:04,880 Speaker 1: not making more progress? What's wrong? Nothing is wrong, it's 82 00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:08,479 Speaker 1: just not the right time. Why don't you come into 83 00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:14,040 Speaker 1: the unforced rhythms of grace. Quit worrying, quit being frustrated. 84 00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:18,680 Speaker 1: Your times are in his hands. God that created the 85 00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:23,240 Speaker 1: universe is going to unfold his plan for your life. 86 00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:26,400 Speaker 1: The scripture says, when you delight yourself and the Lord, 87 00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:30,480 Speaker 1: he will give you the desires of your heart. Does 88 00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:32,400 Speaker 1: it say you have to work for it? You have 89 00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:35,400 Speaker 1: to earn it, make it happen. God is going to 90 00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:38,760 Speaker 1: give it to you. It's going to happen without the struggle, 91 00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:43,479 Speaker 1: without the frustration, without all the experience. It's going to 92 00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:47,080 Speaker 1: be easier than you think. You'll know it was the 93 00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:49,839 Speaker 1: hand of God because you didn't have to force the 94 00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:53,479 Speaker 1: door to open. You didn't have to manipulate people. You 95 00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:56,960 Speaker 1: came into your time, and God made things happen that 96 00:05:57,040 --> 00:06:00,839 Speaker 1: you couldn't make happen. Now, I know we trust God, 97 00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:06,280 Speaker 1: but I'm asking you to trust his timing. Quit being 98 00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:09,919 Speaker 1: frustrated because it's not happening as fast as you would like. 99 00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:15,680 Speaker 1: Every season is not a growing season. Every season is 100 00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:21,880 Speaker 1: not harvest. There are seasons of planting, seasons of watering, fertilizing, 101 00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:26,240 Speaker 1: pulling up the weeds. Those are important seasons. They are 102 00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:30,320 Speaker 1: times of testing where we're showing God what we're made of. 103 00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:33,880 Speaker 1: Are we going to keep a good attitude when we're 104 00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:37,479 Speaker 1: not seeing growth, not making progress? Are we going to 105 00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:42,400 Speaker 1: have faith and patience? Some one tells us to meditate 106 00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:46,479 Speaker 1: on God's word day and night. That means we're not worried. 107 00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:50,640 Speaker 1: We're not upset wondering why it's taking so long. We're 108 00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:54,760 Speaker 1: at peace, we know God's in control. When you do this, 109 00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:58,720 Speaker 1: it says you will be like a tree planted by 110 00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:03,880 Speaker 1: the waters that brings forth fruit in its season. It 111 00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:07,440 Speaker 1: doesn't say it will bring forth fruit three hundred and 112 00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:11,040 Speaker 1: sixty five days a year. It says in its season. 113 00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:16,280 Speaker 1: It implies there will be waiting periods, periods of no growth, 114 00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:19,960 Speaker 1: periods where we don't see anything happening. We have some 115 00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:23,680 Speaker 1: lemon trees in our backyard at home. They don't produce 116 00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:27,720 Speaker 1: lemons all year long. They have a season where they're 117 00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:31,720 Speaker 1: full of lemons, all kinds of growth, but at certain 118 00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:36,120 Speaker 1: times of year when there's no growth, no blossoms. If 119 00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:40,360 Speaker 1: those lemon trees could talk, they wouldn't be worried, thinking 120 00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:44,000 Speaker 1: what's wrong. We don't have any lemons. We've lost our 121 00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:47,480 Speaker 1: touch God has forgotten about us, they would be as 122 00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:51,480 Speaker 1: calm and peaceful as can be. Why they know there's 123 00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:55,640 Speaker 1: nothing wrong. They're just not in season. Maybe you're not 124 00:07:55,800 --> 00:08:00,000 Speaker 1: seeing any growth. You feel stuck, But like those lemon trees, 125 00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:04,200 Speaker 1: is there's nothing wrong. It's just timing. You're in a 126 00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:08,320 Speaker 1: waiting period or perhaps a development period. But when you 127 00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:12,560 Speaker 1: come into your season, you're going to bear much fruit. Now, 128 00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:15,640 Speaker 1: the question is, when you're not in a growing season 129 00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:19,920 Speaker 1: a harvest season, are you going to get discouraged and 130 00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:22,960 Speaker 1: think it'll never change? Are you going to lose your 131 00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:26,640 Speaker 1: passion and give up on what God promised you? If 132 00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:30,480 Speaker 1: you'll keep meditating on God's word, keep your mind filled 133 00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:33,800 Speaker 1: with thoughts of faith and hope, then without even trying, 134 00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:38,200 Speaker 1: you're going to come into your season. Those lemon trees 135 00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:41,920 Speaker 1: don't have to work to produce lemons. They don't have 136 00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:45,360 Speaker 1: to struggle and put forth all this effort. When they're 137 00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:49,480 Speaker 1: in season, it happens automatically. It's just who they are. 138 00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:53,880 Speaker 1: When you come into your season, you're not going to struggle. 139 00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:56,680 Speaker 1: You're not going to make things happen. You're going to 140 00:08:56,880 --> 00:09:00,680 Speaker 1: naturally bear fruit. That means God's going to cause the 141 00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:04,400 Speaker 1: right people to find you. Gifts and talents are going 142 00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:07,079 Speaker 1: to come out that you didn't know you had. Good 143 00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:10,400 Speaker 1: breaks are going to chase you down. You may have 144 00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:14,400 Speaker 1: been waiting for a long time. You attempted to get discouraged, 145 00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:18,240 Speaker 1: but get ready. Your season is coming. You're about to 146 00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:23,600 Speaker 1: see new growth, unexpected favor, blessings that catapult you to 147 00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:26,400 Speaker 1: the next level. You couldn't have made it happen on 148 00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:31,079 Speaker 1: your own, but because you were faithful in the waiting periods, 149 00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:33,880 Speaker 1: because you did the right thing when it was slow, 150 00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:37,440 Speaker 1: God's going to bring you into harvest season, into a 151 00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:41,880 Speaker 1: season of abundance. But the truth is, none of us 152 00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:44,800 Speaker 1: like to go through the waiting periods. It's easy to 153 00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:48,040 Speaker 1: get frustrated and say, God, if I'm going to come 154 00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:51,120 Speaker 1: into my season in six months or my season in 155 00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:54,319 Speaker 1: two years, why don't you just do it now? Save 156 00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:57,280 Speaker 1: me the frustration. Bring the right person now, give me 157 00:09:57,320 --> 00:10:00,400 Speaker 1: the promotion. Now. God knows what he's do do it. 158 00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:04,480 Speaker 1: If he promoted you before you were ready, it wouldn't 159 00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:08,040 Speaker 1: be a blessing, it would be a burden. You wouldn't 160 00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:10,800 Speaker 1: be able to handle it. He has to get you 161 00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:14,559 Speaker 1: prepared for what he has in store. He loves you 162 00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:18,040 Speaker 1: too much to do it too soon. And you may 163 00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:20,920 Speaker 1: have a promise in your heart. You know God's given 164 00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:24,360 Speaker 1: it to you, but you don't see anything happening. That's 165 00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:28,079 Speaker 1: a season of waiting. God's using that to do a 166 00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:32,240 Speaker 1: work in you. If you will pass the test, if 167 00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:36,280 Speaker 1: you will have faith and patience, then you're growing. Your 168 00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:40,520 Speaker 1: spiritual muscles are getting stronger. Your character is being developed. 169 00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:44,080 Speaker 1: Want you all my friends, they're all being promoted, but 170 00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:47,720 Speaker 1: not me. I don't understand it. I come to church 171 00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:52,640 Speaker 1: every Sunday. They only come on Easter. Now, don't compare 172 00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:56,839 Speaker 1: your situation to somebody else's. You're not running their race. 173 00:10:57,440 --> 00:11:00,720 Speaker 1: God may be going to take you to a high level. 174 00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:05,239 Speaker 1: It's going to require more character, more commitment, more discipline. 175 00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:09,880 Speaker 1: Keep doing the right thing. Your season is coming. When 176 00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:13,319 Speaker 1: our son Jonathan was ten years old, I didn't give 177 00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:16,160 Speaker 1: him the car keys say Jonathan, go take a drive. 178 00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:19,280 Speaker 1: I want you to have everything I have stored up 179 00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:22,640 Speaker 1: for you. I didn't let him have the car, not 180 00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:26,000 Speaker 1: because I wanted to keep something good from him, push 181 00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:29,280 Speaker 1: him down, make his life miserable. I didn't do it 182 00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:32,959 Speaker 1: because I loved him, I knew him having a car 183 00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:36,240 Speaker 1: at ten wouldn't be a blessing. It would be a curse. 184 00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:41,480 Speaker 1: Sometimes God shows his love for us not by what 185 00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:45,640 Speaker 1: he gives us, but by what he withhoves. If God 186 00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:48,640 Speaker 1: would have let you marry that first person you really 187 00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:52,400 Speaker 1: wanted to marry, you probably wouldn't be here today, at 188 00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:55,480 Speaker 1: least in your right mind. If He would have let 189 00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:59,160 Speaker 1: you have that baby, that promotion, that new house before 190 00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:03,520 Speaker 1: you were ready, it would have limited your future. God 191 00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:07,320 Speaker 1: knows what we can handle, so sometimes in order to 192 00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:12,439 Speaker 1: protect us, he says not now. Don't fight it. Trust 193 00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:17,000 Speaker 1: his timing. No doesn't mean never. It means it's not 194 00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:20,960 Speaker 1: the right time. Jonathan has a car now. He just 195 00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:23,839 Speaker 1: had to grow up. It's all a part of the process. 196 00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:28,200 Speaker 1: A good father may have a good gift, but he 197 00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:31,480 Speaker 1: won't give it at the wrong time. God is not 198 00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:35,080 Speaker 1: a good father. He's a great father. He has great 199 00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:39,320 Speaker 1: gifts in store for you. He has more than you 200 00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:42,400 Speaker 1: can ask or think. What am I saying? Don't be 201 00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:47,160 Speaker 1: frustrated if he's not giving it to you yet, Keep growing, 202 00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:51,800 Speaker 1: keep being good to people, keep passing the task. God 203 00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:55,520 Speaker 1: can see the big picture. He knows what you're going 204 00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:59,120 Speaker 1: to need. You may think you're ready, but you can't 205 00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:01,959 Speaker 1: see how high God is going to take you, how 206 00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:05,320 Speaker 1: much influence and resources he's going to entrust you with. 207 00:13:06,160 --> 00:13:10,280 Speaker 1: God not only knows what you need, he knows who 208 00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:14,520 Speaker 1: you're going to need. Sometimes God is saying not now, 209 00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:19,360 Speaker 1: because somebody else that's going to be involved is not ready. 210 00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:22,840 Speaker 1: He's still working on them. They're going to be instrumental 211 00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:25,640 Speaker 1: in your life. They're going to open a door, be 212 00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:28,280 Speaker 1: a close friend, they're going to be a spouse. Be 213 00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:33,240 Speaker 1: patient and go through the waiting periods with a good attitude. 214 00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:36,240 Speaker 1: After college, I came back to Lakewood and started the 215 00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:41,080 Speaker 1: television ministry in I love doing production editing, putting my 216 00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:45,280 Speaker 1: father's messages on television. Plus we would do big concerts 217 00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:50,200 Speaker 1: and live television specials. My father was very supportive. He 218 00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:54,160 Speaker 1: led us buy the best equipment put on these exciting events. 219 00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:57,680 Speaker 1: But toward the end of his life he didn't want 220 00:13:57,679 --> 00:14:00,679 Speaker 1: to do that anymore. And one time I lined up 221 00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:04,839 Speaker 1: all these radio stations to carry my father's broadcast, and 222 00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:07,520 Speaker 1: I told my dad, if you'll come down once a 223 00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:10,400 Speaker 1: month for less than an hour, we can make the 224 00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:13,920 Speaker 1: openings and closes and the radio program will go out 225 00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:17,160 Speaker 1: all over the world. I'll never forget what he said. 226 00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:20,440 Speaker 1: He said, Joel, I don't want to do that. I'm 227 00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:24,240 Speaker 1: seventy five years old. I'm not looking for any more work. 228 00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:28,120 Speaker 1: I just want to relax and pasture the church. I 229 00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:32,040 Speaker 1: was so disappointed. I thought, God, I'm young. You put 230 00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:34,720 Speaker 1: big dreams in my heart. I don't want to do less. 231 00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:38,440 Speaker 1: I want to do more. I didn't understand it. Thought 232 00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:41,000 Speaker 1: maybe it was time to move on. And I'd had 233 00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:44,680 Speaker 1: an offer to go work for another large ministry. But 234 00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:47,800 Speaker 1: when I prayed about it, when I got quiet, I 235 00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:51,800 Speaker 1: could hear the still small voice saying, Joel, not yet, 236 00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:55,720 Speaker 1: be patient. You're in a waiting period, but your season 237 00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:59,920 Speaker 1: is coming. I told Victoria, this is my father's vis 238 00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:03,440 Speaker 1: He's been here for nearly forty years, and I'm not 239 00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:06,000 Speaker 1: going to get sour because I'm not getting my way. 240 00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:08,760 Speaker 1: I'm going to honor my father and do what he 241 00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:13,680 Speaker 1: would like me to do. I made the decision to 242 00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:17,120 Speaker 1: be my best in the waiting period, to do the 243 00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:19,680 Speaker 1: right thing when I didn't feel like it. I never 244 00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:23,200 Speaker 1: dreamed two years later my father would go to be 245 00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:26,480 Speaker 1: with the Lord and I would become the pastor. I 246 00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:29,920 Speaker 1: realize now, God put those dreams in my heart for 247 00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:34,280 Speaker 1: my own ministry. It just wasn't the right time. Had 248 00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:37,920 Speaker 1: I not passed the test and been faithful in the 249 00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:41,440 Speaker 1: waiting periods, I don't believe i'd be standing here today. 250 00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:45,480 Speaker 1: God knows what he's doing. If he's asking you to wait, 251 00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:48,760 Speaker 1: that means what he has in store is going to 252 00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:52,920 Speaker 1: be bigger than what you've imagined. Is God saying to you, 253 00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:57,600 Speaker 1: not now in some area you're praying for something to change, 254 00:15:57,840 --> 00:16:01,480 Speaker 1: believing for a dream, a breakthrough, it's not happening. That's 255 00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:05,080 Speaker 1: a test. You're in a waiting period. Keep doing the 256 00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:09,160 Speaker 1: right thing. The scripture says the steps of a good 257 00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:13,520 Speaker 1: person are ordered by the Lord. We're grateful that God 258 00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:17,520 Speaker 1: is directing our steps, but the truth is he's ordering 259 00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:21,320 Speaker 1: our steps. When your steps are ordered, you don't have 260 00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:25,440 Speaker 1: a choice. And yes, we have free will, but God 261 00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:29,240 Speaker 1: will put us in situations on purpose that we can't 262 00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:34,320 Speaker 1: get out of. You can be their sour, complaining fighting it, 263 00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:38,320 Speaker 1: or you can say, God, I know you've ordered my steps. 264 00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:42,240 Speaker 1: You have me here for a reason. I may be uncomfortable, 265 00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:45,600 Speaker 1: it may be taken longer than I would like, but God, 266 00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:49,640 Speaker 1: I not only trust you, I trust your timing. I 267 00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:52,360 Speaker 1: know when I'm ready, you will bring me into my 268 00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:56,920 Speaker 1: season of much fruit. This is what Joseph did. He 269 00:16:57,040 --> 00:17:00,560 Speaker 1: kept passing the test in the waiting periods when it 270 00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:05,000 Speaker 1: was unfair, when he was betrayed, when he was falsely accused. 271 00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:08,600 Speaker 1: Had he not gone through those tests with the right attitude, 272 00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:12,439 Speaker 1: developing his character, showing God what he was made of, 273 00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:15,800 Speaker 1: he would have never taken the throne. You can have 274 00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:20,560 Speaker 1: great faith, you can believe for big things, but without patience, 275 00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:24,639 Speaker 1: you'll get stuck. Without going through the waiting periods with 276 00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:29,119 Speaker 1: a good attitude, it will limit your destiny. Joseph wasn't 277 00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:32,240 Speaker 1: in a hurry. He knew he had to wait for 278 00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:35,840 Speaker 1: God's plan to unfold. Now along the way, it didn't 279 00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:39,680 Speaker 1: always look like his steps were ordered. Being thrown into 280 00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:42,919 Speaker 1: a pit by his family, being put in prison for 281 00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:46,160 Speaker 1: something that he didn't do. Could have said, God, it's 282 00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:48,959 Speaker 1: not fair. Look at what they're doing to me. But 283 00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:52,800 Speaker 1: you're not going to understand everything that happens. You may 284 00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:55,800 Speaker 1: be in a difficult place, doesn't look like it's ever 285 00:17:55,880 --> 00:18:00,720 Speaker 1: going to change. Stay encouraged. Your steps are ordered, You're 286 00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:05,800 Speaker 1: right on schedule. The delay, the detour, the disappointment. It's 287 00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:09,400 Speaker 1: all a part of God's plan. If you'll be patient 288 00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:13,520 Speaker 1: and wait for that plan to unfold, then like Joseph, 289 00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:17,639 Speaker 1: you'll see God vindicate you, promote you, and take you 290 00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:21,440 Speaker 1: to a new level of your destiny. When God did 291 00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:25,719 Speaker 1: something significant in the scripture, many times it says it 292 00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:31,000 Speaker 1: happened suddenly or immediately or at once. The prison doors 293 00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:34,200 Speaker 1: were open, they were in a waiting period. They didn't 294 00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:37,880 Speaker 1: see anything changing, no sign of it happening. Then all 295 00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:42,000 Speaker 1: the sudden it happened. God was showing us he can 296 00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:46,560 Speaker 1: turn things around without any warning. He can increase you 297 00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:51,040 Speaker 1: unexpectedly out of the ordinary. You didn't see it coming. 298 00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:54,439 Speaker 1: You were just doing the right thing, going through the 299 00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:59,560 Speaker 1: difficulty with faith and patience, and suddenly you came into 300 00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:04,320 Speaker 1: your seat. Suddenly your business took off, Suddenly your health improved. 301 00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:08,080 Speaker 1: One touch of God's favor can catapult you to the 302 00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:12,480 Speaker 1: next level. When you know God has some suddenlies, even 303 00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:15,760 Speaker 1: when it's taken a long time, you'll still have an 304 00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:20,040 Speaker 1: expectancy knowing that any moment your suddenly could show up. 305 00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:24,480 Speaker 1: One good break, one phone call, meeting, one right person, 306 00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:27,960 Speaker 1: you'll come out of your waiting period into a season 307 00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:32,320 Speaker 1: of blessing. See just as God order steps into times 308 00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:37,040 Speaker 1: of testing, times of proving, he orders steps into seasons 309 00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:41,399 Speaker 1: of increase, seasons of promotion. You may have been in 310 00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:44,480 Speaker 1: a waiting period a long time, doing the right thing, 311 00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:48,119 Speaker 1: being patient. God is saying, get ready, you're about to 312 00:19:48,160 --> 00:19:51,320 Speaker 1: see some suddenlies. You're going to come into a season 313 00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:54,960 Speaker 1: of much fruit, a season of new growth where God 314 00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:57,720 Speaker 1: thrust you to the next level. He's going to put 315 00:19:57,720 --> 00:20:01,240 Speaker 1: you at the right place at the right time. When 316 00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:05,240 Speaker 1: it says God orders our steps, that doesn't mean God 317 00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:09,119 Speaker 1: does it vaguely, go over here in this general area, 318 00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:11,679 Speaker 1: do it in the next week or two. God is 319 00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:17,040 Speaker 1: not vague. He's precise. He's detailed. He's specific, down to 320 00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:21,199 Speaker 1: the split second. One Sunday, when my father was alive, 321 00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:24,359 Speaker 1: I was up in the television control area at the 322 00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:27,919 Speaker 1: other facility and the service was about to start. I 323 00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:30,600 Speaker 1: remembered I needed to tell my father something, so I 324 00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:35,399 Speaker 1: ran downstairs. The stairs were curved to where at one point, 325 00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:38,080 Speaker 1: for four or five seconds when you were walking you 326 00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:40,800 Speaker 1: would look out over the front lobby. Then they turned 327 00:20:40,800 --> 00:20:43,840 Speaker 1: back toward the offices. As I was running down the 328 00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:46,639 Speaker 1: stairs as fast as I could, in a big hurry. 329 00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:50,280 Speaker 1: I came around that curve. There was a man walking 330 00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:54,359 Speaker 1: through the lobby right in position to where our eyes met. 331 00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:59,080 Speaker 1: He stopped me and said, my cousin has a construction 332 00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:03,080 Speaker 1: permit for a full powered television station here in Houston. 333 00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:05,920 Speaker 1: We'd like to talk to you about it. He handed 334 00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:10,719 Speaker 1: me his number ten second conversation. Long story short, we 335 00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:14,520 Speaker 1: bought that construction permit, put the station on the air. 336 00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:18,960 Speaker 1: A few years later, we sold it for a significant profit. 337 00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:23,879 Speaker 1: Those funds were very instrumental in us renovating this place, 338 00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:28,520 Speaker 1: the former Compact Center. But notice how precise God is. 339 00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:32,680 Speaker 1: If I had been running down the stairs five seconds later, 340 00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:35,639 Speaker 1: I would have missed him. If he would have left 341 00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:39,719 Speaker 1: his house a minute earlier, God caught by another stoplight, 342 00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:44,080 Speaker 1: our paths wouldn't have crossed. God ordered our steps down 343 00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:46,760 Speaker 1: to the second. You be at this place, you be 344 00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:51,000 Speaker 1: at that place. Suddenly we came into our season. God 345 00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:55,919 Speaker 1: made things happen we couldn't make happen. Right now, God 346 00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:59,560 Speaker 1: is not only ordering your steps, he's ordering the steps 347 00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:02,800 Speaker 1: of the people you need. He's going to cause them 348 00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:06,920 Speaker 1: to come across your path. Where opportunity finds you, where 349 00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:10,680 Speaker 1: good breaks track you down. What you're believing for may 350 00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:13,200 Speaker 1: be taking a long time. You don't see how it's 351 00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:17,000 Speaker 1: ever going to change. But staying courage, God has some 352 00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:20,840 Speaker 1: suddenlys lined up for you, things you didn't see coming. 353 00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:23,480 Speaker 1: Where He had you at the right place at the 354 00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:28,040 Speaker 1: right time, and unexpectedly you met the right person. Or 355 00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:30,960 Speaker 1: like with me, the business fell into your lap, the 356 00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:35,720 Speaker 1: problem turned around. Don't be frustrated because it's not happening 357 00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:38,680 Speaker 1: as fast as you would like. You're right on schedule. 358 00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:42,359 Speaker 1: Your steps are being ordered. Any moment you're going to 359 00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:46,080 Speaker 1: come in to your season. In March chapter five, a 360 00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:49,560 Speaker 1: leader in the synagogue came up to Jesus. He fell 361 00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:52,440 Speaker 1: at his feet and said, my little girl is so sick, 362 00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:55,800 Speaker 1: she's close to death. Please come to my house and 363 00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:59,640 Speaker 1: pray for her. Jesus agreed, He said he would come, 364 00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:03,720 Speaker 1: and started walking that way. I can imagine this father 365 00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:06,600 Speaker 1: was so excited. He knew he was going to get 366 00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:10,359 Speaker 1: his miracle. But as they were traveling in the middle 367 00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:13,600 Speaker 1: of a big crowd, this lady that had been sick 368 00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:17,280 Speaker 1: for twelve years, fought her way through the crowd, touched 369 00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:20,480 Speaker 1: the edge of Jesus' robe, and instantly she was healed. 370 00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:25,280 Speaker 1: Jesus stopped and asked who touched him? Spent time visiting 371 00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:28,919 Speaker 1: with this lady. While it was a great miracle, it 372 00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:33,320 Speaker 1: delayed Jesus from getting to the little girl's house. I'm 373 00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:36,520 Speaker 1: sure the father was happy this lady got healed, but 374 00:23:36,800 --> 00:23:41,119 Speaker 1: because of the delayed, his little girl died. His friends 375 00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:43,920 Speaker 1: came and said, hey, don't bother Jesus anymore. It's too late. 376 00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:48,760 Speaker 1: Your daughter has passed. He had to watch somebody else 377 00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:53,080 Speaker 1: get healed while his daughter didn't get healed. Will you 378 00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:56,480 Speaker 1: keep a good attitude when you see other people being 379 00:23:56,560 --> 00:24:02,360 Speaker 1: blessed but you're still waiting? Got engaged, but you're still single, 380 00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:06,840 Speaker 1: waiting for the right person. Your coworker moved into that 381 00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:10,560 Speaker 1: new house, you're still in the apartment waiting for increase. 382 00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:14,359 Speaker 1: In the middle of the commotion, in the middle of 383 00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:18,320 Speaker 1: all this excitement, this man felt like Jesus had forgotten 384 00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:21,679 Speaker 1: about him. It's too late. He turned to walk away. 385 00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:26,840 Speaker 1: Jesus stopped him and said, don't be afraid. Only believe. 386 00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:31,760 Speaker 1: Jesus was saying, in effect, it's not too late. I 387 00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:35,919 Speaker 1: haven't forgotten about you. You're right on schedule. Your steps 388 00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:39,720 Speaker 1: are being ordered. This delay didn't stop my plan. I'm 389 00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:43,840 Speaker 1: still going to do what I promised. Jesus showed up 390 00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:46,520 Speaker 1: at the little girl's house, where she had already died. 391 00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:49,560 Speaker 1: He spoke to her and told her to wake up. 392 00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:53,760 Speaker 1: She woke back up and was perfectly normal. The scripture 393 00:24:53,800 --> 00:25:00,160 Speaker 1: says the people were completely astonished. Here's the principle. This 394 00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:04,600 Speaker 1: man came to Jesus asking for a healing, but because 395 00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:08,640 Speaker 1: of the delay, he received a greater miracle, a resurrection. 396 00:25:09,600 --> 00:25:13,200 Speaker 1: When it's taken longer than you thought, don't get discouraged. 397 00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:17,560 Speaker 1: That means God has something bigger, something better, something that 398 00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:22,080 Speaker 1: you weren't expecting. Like this man, He's going to do something. 399 00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:28,480 Speaker 1: We're not only you, but the people around you are astonished, amazed, 400 00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:33,680 Speaker 1: overwhelmed at his goodness. Friends, God has not forgotten about you. 401 00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:37,960 Speaker 1: He knows how long it's been. He's hurt all your prayers, 402 00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:40,720 Speaker 1: he's seen all the times you've done the right thing. 403 00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:44,880 Speaker 1: Circumstances may tell you it's never going to happen. It's 404 00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:49,160 Speaker 1: too late. God is saying you're right on schedule, You're 405 00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:52,480 Speaker 1: about to come into your season. It's not going to 406 00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:55,840 Speaker 1: be a healing. It's going to be something better, a resurrection. 407 00:25:56,320 --> 00:25:59,320 Speaker 1: Now do your part and pass the test in the 408 00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:03,200 Speaker 1: waiting period, keep a good attitude if you'll do this, 409 00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:08,240 Speaker 1: because you have faith and patience. I believe and declare 410 00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:12,280 Speaker 1: you're going to see God's plan unfold for your life. 411 00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:17,000 Speaker 1: Promise has come to pass, dreams, fulfilled problems, turn around 412 00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:21,520 Speaker 1: the fullness of your destiny in Jesus' name if you 413 00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:25,600 Speaker 1: receive it. Can you say him in today? I'd like 414 00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:29,040 Speaker 1: to give you an opportunity to make Jesus the lord 415 00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:32,399 Speaker 1: of your life. Would you pray with me today? Just 416 00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:38,480 Speaker 1: say Lord Jesus, I repent of my sins. Come into 417 00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:43,600 Speaker 1: my heart. I make you my Lord and savior. If 418 00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:47,000 Speaker 1: you prayed that simple prayer, we believe you got born again. 419 00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:51,480 Speaker 1: Get in a good Bible based church. Keep God first place. 420 00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:56,520 Speaker 2: Breathtaking. That's what you feel when you look out at 421 00:26:56,560 --> 00:27:01,760 Speaker 2: majestic mountain peaks. Yes, God's creation truly is a masterpiece. 422 00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:05,639 Speaker 2: But even as you consider his handiwork, you might also 423 00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:10,639 Speaker 2: feel less that not good enough or not valuable. The 424 00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:15,200 Speaker 2: image before you is incredible, but the confidence inside is lacking. 425 00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:18,840 Speaker 1: How do you overcome this? The opinion you have of 426 00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:22,920 Speaker 1: yourself is your most important opinion. Too often we see 427 00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:28,200 Speaker 1: ourselves as ordinary, not talented, unattractive. That wrong self image 428 00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:31,080 Speaker 1: is setting the limits for our life. The key is 429 00:27:31,119 --> 00:27:33,440 Speaker 1: to get an agreement with who God says you are. 430 00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:38,760 Speaker 1: He calls you a masterpiece, strong, talented, valuable. If you'll 431 00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:41,680 Speaker 1: have the right image of your self, you'll rise higher 432 00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:44,560 Speaker 1: and become who you were created to be.
