He had had a hearing problem 52 00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:15,760 Speaker 5: his whole life. He went to the doctor and was 53 00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:18,960 Speaker 5: fitted with this new state of the art hearing aid 54 00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:22,000 Speaker 5: where he could hear one hundred percent. A few months 55 00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:25,160 Speaker 5: later he went back for a check up. The doctor said, Wow, 56 00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:28,120 Speaker 5: your hearing is perfect. I bet your family is so 57 00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:31,200 Speaker 5: excited that you can hear again. He said, Now, I 58 00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:34,160 Speaker 5: haven't told my family. I just sit around and listen 59 00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:36,799 Speaker 5: to the different conversations, and I've changed my. 60 00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:40,680 Speaker 4: Will three times. Say it like you mean it. 61 00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:43,839 Speaker 5: This is my Bible. I am what it says I am. 62 00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:46,720 Speaker 5: I have what it says I have. I can do 63 00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:49,360 Speaker 5: what it says I can do. Today I will be 64 00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:53,239 Speaker 5: talked the word of God. I boldly confess. My mind 65 00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:56,560 Speaker 5: is alert, my heart is receptive. I will never be 66 00:02:56,680 --> 00:03:01,280 Speaker 5: the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you. I want 67 00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:05,560 Speaker 5: to talk to you today about buried alive. Years ago, 68 00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:08,640 Speaker 5: there was a forty six year old man in a 69 00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:12,280 Speaker 5: small village in Romania that was about to be buried 70 00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:16,519 Speaker 5: in the funeral home. His family and friends walked past 71 00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:21,320 Speaker 5: the open casket, grieving and paying their last respects. After 72 00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:24,600 Speaker 5: the loved ones said their goodbyes, they went home and 73 00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:29,720 Speaker 5: prepared for the burial. The next day, something astonishing happened. 74 00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:33,200 Speaker 5: The man woke up, He got out of the coffin 75 00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:37,000 Speaker 5: and walked back home. When neighbors saw him, they nearly 76 00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:42,440 Speaker 5: passed out. Family members were ecstatic. They couldn't believe their eyes. 77 00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:47,240 Speaker 5: The doctor who signed the death certificate couldn't understand it. 78 00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:51,280 Speaker 5: He couldn't find a pulse. The man had no vital signs. 79 00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:55,640 Speaker 5: Their only explanation is he had fallen into a temporary 80 00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:57,040 Speaker 5: diabetic coma. 81 00:03:57,600 --> 00:03:59,520 Speaker 4: He was almost buried alive. 82 00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:04,400 Speaker 5: I wonder how many times we're doing like them and 83 00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:09,480 Speaker 5: burying things alive. We thought the dream was dead. We tried, 84 00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:12,840 Speaker 5: but the door didn't open. We didn't get any good breaks. 85 00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:16,680 Speaker 5: It's been years now. We're convinced. We'll never be promoted, 86 00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:19,680 Speaker 5: never start the business, never write the book. 87 00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:25,120 Speaker 4: We bury relationships. This marriage is done. We don't get along, 88 00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:26,920 Speaker 4: is never going to last. 89 00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:32,120 Speaker 5: Sometimes we bury promises, Joel, I'll never get well, never 90 00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:36,440 Speaker 5: break the addiction, never live an abundant life. At one 91 00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:40,239 Speaker 5: time we believed we knew God put it in our heart. 92 00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:42,520 Speaker 4: We talk like it was going to happen. 93 00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:46,040 Speaker 5: We took steps of faith, but now we don't see 94 00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:50,360 Speaker 5: any signs of life. All the circumstances say it's too late, 95 00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:55,160 Speaker 5: so we buried it. The good news is it's buried alive. 96 00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:57,839 Speaker 5: You may not be able to see it, but it 97 00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:02,119 Speaker 5: still has a pulse. You'll get your passion back. God 98 00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:05,880 Speaker 5: will still bring it to pass. Just because you gave 99 00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:10,919 Speaker 5: up doesn't mean God gave up. God doesn't abort dreams. 100 00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:15,159 Speaker 5: He doesn't start something and not finish it. And like 101 00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:18,640 Speaker 5: this man that everyone thought was dead, but he divided 102 00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:21,960 Speaker 5: the odds and woke up, You're going to see God 103 00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:26,160 Speaker 5: wake up some things you thought were dead. You thought 104 00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:28,960 Speaker 5: that marriage was dead. God's about to wake it up. 105 00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:33,880 Speaker 5: Your happiest, most fulfilled days in that relationship are still 106 00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:36,840 Speaker 5: in front of you. You thought you would never meet 107 00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:39,560 Speaker 5: the right person, you'd go through life single. 108 00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:41,719 Speaker 4: God's about to wake up your dream. 109 00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:45,240 Speaker 5: You're going to meet someone so amazing you'll know it 110 00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:48,680 Speaker 5: was a hand of God. Or maybe you thought you 111 00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:52,720 Speaker 5: were too old to accomplish your goal. You convinced yourself 112 00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:56,960 Speaker 5: it's too late. You've missed too many opportunities. God is 113 00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:00,640 Speaker 5: about to surprise you. That dream is about to come 114 00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:03,680 Speaker 5: back to life. You may have put it in a coma. 115 00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:06,719 Speaker 5: You may have talked yourself out of it. God has 116 00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:09,880 Speaker 5: you hearing this so you can be taught back into it. 117 00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:13,080 Speaker 5: He wouldn't have put the promise in your heart if 118 00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:16,000 Speaker 5: he wasn't going to bring it to pass. It may 119 00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:19,680 Speaker 5: not have happened on your timetable or the way you thought, 120 00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:22,520 Speaker 5: but make no mistake, it is still alive. 121 00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:26,800 Speaker 4: What God started, He's going to finish. What he promised 122 00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:30,520 Speaker 4: you is still on the way. It's going to happen suddenly. 123 00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:32,520 Speaker 4: You didn't see it coming. 124 00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:36,160 Speaker 5: Not only are you going to be amazed, but people 125 00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:39,640 Speaker 5: around you are going to be amazed, especially those that 126 00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:43,279 Speaker 5: have discounted. You thought you could never be promoted, you 127 00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:44,719 Speaker 5: could never take new ground. 128 00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:45,560 Speaker 4: Don't worry. 129 00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:49,760 Speaker 5: When God wakes up what's been lying dormant in you. 130 00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:54,440 Speaker 5: The potential, the talent, the businesses, the dreams. 131 00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:58,080 Speaker 4: The ideas, the spouse. People are going to stand in awe. 132 00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:00,560 Speaker 5: They're going to know the hand of God is on 133 00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:02,000 Speaker 5: your life. 134 00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:06,240 Speaker 4: Now do your part. The dreams that you buried you 135 00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:09,280 Speaker 4: need to dig them back up. Who told you. 136 00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:12,840 Speaker 5: They were dead who convinced you that you can't get well, 137 00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:16,680 Speaker 5: you can't meet the right person, that you'll never accomplish 138 00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:20,760 Speaker 5: your dream. Those voices did not come from our God. 139 00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:25,160 Speaker 5: That is the enemy trying to deceive you into settling 140 00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:27,200 Speaker 5: for less than you were created to be. 141 00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:31,120 Speaker 4: He knows you have seeds of greatness. He knows there 142 00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:33,240 Speaker 4: are amazing things in your future. 143 00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:37,360 Speaker 5: It's time to get the shovel out whatever you've buried, 144 00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:42,000 Speaker 5: whatever you've given up on, whatever you've let people, delays, 145 00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:45,400 Speaker 5: disappointments talk you out of. I'm asking you to dig 146 00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:48,520 Speaker 5: it back up. How do you dig it up? Start 147 00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:51,640 Speaker 5: talking like it's going to happen. Start thanking God that 148 00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:55,720 Speaker 5: is on the way. Every circumstance may say you'll never 149 00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:56,360 Speaker 5: get well. 150 00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:57,400 Speaker 4: Just accept it. 151 00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:01,680 Speaker 5: If you agree with that and go around discourage, you're 152 00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:05,040 Speaker 5: putting more dirt on the promise. You're burying it deeper. 153 00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:08,280 Speaker 5: But when you go around, Father, thank you that you 154 00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:11,120 Speaker 5: are restoring health back into me. Think you that the 155 00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:13,240 Speaker 5: number of my days you will fulfill. 156 00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:15,280 Speaker 4: You're uncovering the promise. 157 00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:18,840 Speaker 5: Or when those thoughts tell you that you've reached your limits, 158 00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:20,200 Speaker 5: you'll never go any further. 159 00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:21,200 Speaker 4: Turn it around. 160 00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:24,880 Speaker 5: Father, you said, my latter days will be better than 161 00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:28,480 Speaker 5: my former days. You said, the path of the righteous gets. 162 00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:31,720 Speaker 4: Brighter and brighter. That's how you remove the dirt. 163 00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:35,880 Speaker 5: As a young man, God gave Moses a dream that 164 00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:38,839 Speaker 5: he would deliver the Israelites out of slavery. 165 00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:40,439 Speaker 4: He was excited. 166 00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:43,360 Speaker 5: He knew he was going to do great things. But 167 00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:47,120 Speaker 5: Moses made a mistake. He killed a man that was 168 00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:48,960 Speaker 5: mistreating a Hebrew slave. 169 00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:50,760 Speaker 4: Someone saw him. 170 00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:54,600 Speaker 5: Moses had to flee for his life. He spent forty 171 00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:57,559 Speaker 5: years on the back side of the desert in hiding. 172 00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:03,320 Speaker 5: You can imagine how disappointed and discouraged Moses was. He 173 00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:06,560 Speaker 5: knew God put the promise in his heart, but he 174 00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:09,840 Speaker 5: blew it. He was his own fault. He thought he 175 00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:12,959 Speaker 5: had missed his chance. He did what many of us do. 176 00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:17,600 Speaker 5: He buried his dream. But the scripture says God's calling 177 00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:22,720 Speaker 5: on your life is irrevocable. That means God doesn't change 178 00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:26,840 Speaker 5: his mind. God already knew every mistake you would make. 179 00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:30,280 Speaker 5: He knew every person that would do you wrong, every 180 00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:33,920 Speaker 5: bad break. He took that all into account when he 181 00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:38,200 Speaker 5: called you. You may have buried some dreams. You think 182 00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:41,160 Speaker 5: they're dead it was your own fault. But God is 183 00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:44,680 Speaker 5: so merciful. At the right time, He's going to wake 184 00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:48,520 Speaker 5: them back up. What you had in the coffin, what 185 00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:52,319 Speaker 5: you've already said, your goodbys to know your time is coming. 186 00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:58,640 Speaker 5: Your mistakes didn't cancel your destiny. People not being for you, delays, 187 00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:03,679 Speaker 5: disappointments cannot stop what God has purposed for your life, 188 00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:07,120 Speaker 5: and everything that's happened to you is a part of the. 189 00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:09,920 Speaker 4: Plan to get you to where you're supposed to be. 190 00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:13,600 Speaker 5: You may not understand it. It may not have been fair. 191 00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:17,040 Speaker 5: You don't see how it can happen. But God is 192 00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:21,439 Speaker 5: in control. He's working behind the scenes right now, lining 193 00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:24,920 Speaker 5: up things in your favor, arranging the good breaks that 194 00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:28,760 Speaker 5: you need. I can see by faith, dreams coming back 195 00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:32,520 Speaker 5: to life. I can see marriages coming back to life, 196 00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:36,080 Speaker 5: Businesses that look like they were done coming back to life. 197 00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:39,319 Speaker 5: You may have given up on what God promised you, 198 00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:40,640 Speaker 5: but God. 199 00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:43,080 Speaker 4: Didn't give up. He doesn't change his mind. 200 00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:46,640 Speaker 5: At eighty years of age, Moses was out in the 201 00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:52,319 Speaker 5: desert minding his own business. Suddenly a bush exploded caught 202 00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:55,400 Speaker 5: fire in front of him. A voice boomed out, Moses, 203 00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:57,000 Speaker 5: take off your sandals. 204 00:10:57,120 --> 00:10:58,400 Speaker 4: You're on holy ground. 205 00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:02,760 Speaker 5: God told him to go, tell the Pharaoh to let 206 00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:08,520 Speaker 5: the Israelites go. I can imagine Moses nearly passing out, saying, 207 00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:12,120 Speaker 5: I thought this dream was dead. I buried it. I 208 00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:16,240 Speaker 5: had a funeral. I put flowers on the grave every year. God, 209 00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:20,240 Speaker 5: you mean this whole time, it was still alive. After 210 00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:23,840 Speaker 5: I blew it, after forty years. You mean, God, You're 211 00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:27,600 Speaker 5: still going to do what you said. That's the way 212 00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:32,480 Speaker 5: our God is promises that you think are dead. Things 213 00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:35,719 Speaker 5: that you dreamed about. At one time, you were excited. 214 00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:40,040 Speaker 5: You knew that was your purpose. But now there's been mistakes. 215 00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:42,439 Speaker 4: Disappointments, people let you down. 216 00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:46,200 Speaker 5: You worked hard, the doors didn't open. God is saying 217 00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:49,720 Speaker 5: to you what he said to Moses, that dream is 218 00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:52,960 Speaker 5: not only still alive, but I'm still going to bring 219 00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:55,960 Speaker 5: it to pass. I'm still going to heal you. I'm 220 00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:58,720 Speaker 5: still going to promote you. I'm still going to bring 221 00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:01,880 Speaker 5: the right person, still going to take you where you 222 00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:05,600 Speaker 5: couldn't go on your own. The scripture talks about how 223 00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:08,920 Speaker 5: God will give us the secret petitions of our heart. 224 00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:12,719 Speaker 5: These are the dreams and the promises that God whispers 225 00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:15,320 Speaker 5: to us in the night. They seem too good to 226 00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:19,320 Speaker 5: be true. We don't tell anyone about them. Nobody would 227 00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:21,120 Speaker 5: believe they would ever come to pass. 228 00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:24,679 Speaker 4: They seem so unlikely. But God likes. 229 00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:28,520 Speaker 5: To do far beyond what you can accomplish on your own. 230 00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:32,719 Speaker 5: If you can reach your dreams by yourself, in your 231 00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:35,960 Speaker 5: own talent, your own strength, your own ability, then you 232 00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:39,800 Speaker 5: don't need God. What God will speak to your spirit, 233 00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:44,679 Speaker 5: many times will be so big, so far out, that 234 00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:48,200 Speaker 5: it's easy to dismiss and think that could never happen. 235 00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:52,800 Speaker 5: And too often we are burying alive all these amazing 236 00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:56,600 Speaker 5: things that God wants to do. Psalm thirty one says, 237 00:12:56,960 --> 00:12:59,960 Speaker 5: God has blessings stored up for the life. 238 00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:05,559 Speaker 4: I can imagine in heaven there's this huge warehouse. 239 00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:08,800 Speaker 5: Filled with all kinds of boxes, some of which have 240 00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:16,840 Speaker 5: your name on them. Blessings stored up, promotion buildings, houses, opportunities, ideas, 241 00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:18,320 Speaker 5: children's spouse. 242 00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:19,760 Speaker 4: Things God has promised you. 243 00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:22,960 Speaker 5: But what if when we get to heaven, we go 244 00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:26,440 Speaker 5: to the warehouse and we look and there's the promise 245 00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:29,480 Speaker 5: God spoke to us as a child, But it was 246 00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:33,199 Speaker 5: never delivered. I thought it was too big. And there's 247 00:13:33,559 --> 00:13:37,199 Speaker 5: the healing God promised, but the medical report convinced me 248 00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:40,920 Speaker 5: I wouldn't get well. There's the house I always dreamed about, 249 00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:42,800 Speaker 5: but I didn't see how it could happen. 250 00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:47,840 Speaker 4: What held it back? We quit believing. We let circumstances 251 00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:48,800 Speaker 4: talk us out of it. 252 00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:53,400 Speaker 5: The good news is all those blessings God has stored 253 00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:57,560 Speaker 5: up for you are still available. It is not too late. 254 00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:01,240 Speaker 5: They are on the shelf waiting for delay. Now I'm 255 00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:03,520 Speaker 5: asking you to stir your faith up. 256 00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:04,320 Speaker 4: God. 257 00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:07,520 Speaker 5: The circumstances may be against me, but I know you 258 00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:11,320 Speaker 5: are for me. The medical report doesn't look good, but God, 259 00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:12,520 Speaker 5: I know you're my healer. 260 00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:15,600 Speaker 4: God. I don't have the funds for my dream, but 261 00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:17,400 Speaker 4: I know you own it. All. 262 00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:21,120 Speaker 5: By myself, I'm stuck, but God, with you, I know 263 00:14:21,200 --> 00:14:22,360 Speaker 5: I'm unstoppable. 264 00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:25,320 Speaker 4: You and God are a majority. 265 00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:31,000 Speaker 5: Don't go through life with dreams buried alive when you believe, 266 00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:35,480 Speaker 5: that's what allows God to release those blessings that He has. 267 00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:36,200 Speaker 4: Stored up for you. 268 00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:39,400 Speaker 5: As a little boy, a friend of mine had a 269 00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:42,280 Speaker 5: dream to be on the radio. He would come home 270 00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:44,920 Speaker 5: from school at ten years old and go down to 271 00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:48,760 Speaker 5: the basement at his house. They had some mics and headphones, 272 00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:51,680 Speaker 5: and he would do a radio program. They had these 273 00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:54,840 Speaker 5: real to real recorders and he would interview friends and 274 00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:56,000 Speaker 5: do the news. 275 00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:56,640 Speaker 4: The weather. 276 00:14:57,320 --> 00:15:00,400 Speaker 5: God put that desire in him as a young boy. 277 00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:03,960 Speaker 5: At fourteen, he was accepted as an. 278 00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:09,280 Speaker 4: Intern at a very prestigious radio station. He was so excited. 279 00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:10,960 Speaker 4: This was a dream come true. 280 00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:14,840 Speaker 5: But just before it started, he was transferred to a 281 00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:19,000 Speaker 5: different school. This new school didn't have an agreement with 282 00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:22,120 Speaker 5: the station to have interns, so he never. 283 00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:22,520 Speaker 4: Got to go. 284 00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:26,720 Speaker 5: He was mad at his parents for making him change schools. 285 00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:29,560 Speaker 4: He was mad at God because it didn't work out. 286 00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:33,800 Speaker 5: He was so disappointed, so upset he quit doing radio. 287 00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:36,320 Speaker 4: He buried the dream well. 288 00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:39,000 Speaker 5: Several decades had passed and he went on to become 289 00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:42,840 Speaker 5: a pastor of a large church, very successful. After serving 290 00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:46,520 Speaker 5: there for many years, he resigned eventually came to work 291 00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:47,040 Speaker 5: for us. 292 00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:51,040 Speaker 4: He heads up our pastor's network when we do our. 293 00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:54,480 Speaker 5: Nights of Hope, the events on the road, the serious 294 00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:59,120 Speaker 5: XM radio program always starts thirty minutes before the actual event. 295 00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:03,240 Speaker 4: He needed someone to host it, to do interviews. 296 00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:05,680 Speaker 5: Talk with the pastors, and I thought this friend of mine, 297 00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:08,440 Speaker 5: Phil Munsey, he would be perfect. So he's been doing 298 00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:11,200 Speaker 5: it for the last few years. About a year ago, 299 00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:14,960 Speaker 5: before the event in New York, he sat down at 300 00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:17,160 Speaker 5: the table and was about to go on the air. 301 00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:20,880 Speaker 4: When he put his headphones on and leaned toward the mic. 302 00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:24,520 Speaker 5: He heard God whisper to him. I didn't forget about 303 00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:25,440 Speaker 5: the dream. 304 00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:26,920 Speaker 4: I put in you as a little boy. 305 00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:32,640 Speaker 5: He suddenly realized he was doing what he dreamed about 306 00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:34,400 Speaker 5: forty five years earlier. 307 00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:39,120 Speaker 4: He had buried it. He thought it was dead. He thought, because. 308 00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:42,800 Speaker 5: Of his parents' decisions, because of the school, because of 309 00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:45,920 Speaker 5: the bad breaks, that it would never happen. But God 310 00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:50,280 Speaker 5: doesn't start something and not finish it. The dreams God 311 00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:54,080 Speaker 5: put in your heart never died. You may have gone 312 00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:57,680 Speaker 5: through disappointments. It's been a long time. People did you wrong. 313 00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:00,800 Speaker 5: What God has stored up for you is still on 314 00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:06,520 Speaker 5: the way. Sometimes, like with Phil, God will surprise you. You 315 00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:08,800 Speaker 5: thought it was too late. You thought you've missed your chance. 316 00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:12,800 Speaker 5: You weren't believing for it. But God hasn't forgotten about 317 00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:16,199 Speaker 5: the secret petitions of your heart. He knows what he 318 00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:19,480 Speaker 5: whispered to you in the night. He knows the desires 319 00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:22,080 Speaker 5: he put in you that you've not told anyone about, 320 00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:25,800 Speaker 5: and God saw what didn't work out. He saw the 321 00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:29,560 Speaker 5: doors that closed, the people that left you. That dream 322 00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:31,760 Speaker 5: didn't die because of what people did. 323 00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:33,080 Speaker 4: It didn't die. 324 00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:37,680 Speaker 5: Because of mistakes you made. Forty years later, God brought 325 00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:41,880 Speaker 5: moses dream to pass. Forty five years later, God brought 326 00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:45,639 Speaker 5: Phil's dream to pass. Neither one of them were expecting it. 327 00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:50,040 Speaker 5: Moses didn't think he deserved it. Phil had forgotten about it. 328 00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:52,480 Speaker 5: That's the goodness of our God. 329 00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:53,040 Speaker 4: Dreams. 330 00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:57,480 Speaker 5: We bury promises, we give up on. God could say, fine, 331 00:17:57,520 --> 00:18:00,320 Speaker 5: you give up. I'm gonna give up. You don't believe me, 332 00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:03,520 Speaker 5: I'm not gonna believe in you. But God is so merciful, 333 00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:07,320 Speaker 5: so full of kindness. Even when we bury it, it. 334 00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:11,400 Speaker 4: Still doesn't die. That promise you think is too far gone, 335 00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:14,199 Speaker 4: you don't deserve it, It's still on the way. 336 00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:16,880 Speaker 5: In the scripture, God gave a man by the name 337 00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:20,760 Speaker 5: Zeruba bel a dream to rebuild the temple. The whole 338 00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:23,960 Speaker 5: city had been destroyed, but he went back home and 339 00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:27,960 Speaker 5: successfully laid the foundation. He got off to a great start, 340 00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:31,320 Speaker 5: but people were against him. They went to the authorities 341 00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:35,720 Speaker 5: God a decree forcing him to stop. I can imagine 342 00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:38,520 Speaker 5: he went out to the property and saw the empty 343 00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:43,440 Speaker 5: foundation month after month, year after year. He was tempted 344 00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:46,320 Speaker 5: to think it just not meant to be. I tried, 345 00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:49,399 Speaker 5: I gave it my best. It didn't work out. He 346 00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:52,680 Speaker 5: could have buried the dream. No signs of things changing. 347 00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:57,920 Speaker 5: Ten years later, the prophet Zachariah showed up. He said, 348 00:18:57,920 --> 00:19:01,679 Speaker 5: in effect, Zarubabel, God said me all this way to 349 00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:06,400 Speaker 5: give you two words, begin again. He was saying, it 350 00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:10,600 Speaker 5: may look dead, it's been years with no activity. People 351 00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:13,520 Speaker 5: against you, your own thoughts, telling you it's never going 352 00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:17,280 Speaker 5: to happen. But God is saying, if you'll begin again, 353 00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:21,840 Speaker 5: if you'll start dreaming again, if you'll start believing again, 354 00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:24,920 Speaker 5: if you'll start taking steps of faith, then God will 355 00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:29,280 Speaker 5: still bring it to pass. When Zarubabel heard this, something 356 00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:30,399 Speaker 5: came alive. 357 00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:31,199 Speaker 4: On the inside. 358 00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:35,919 Speaker 5: The scripture says, your word, o, Lord, is like fire 359 00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:39,880 Speaker 5: shut up in my bones. The dreams God put in you, 360 00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:43,359 Speaker 5: the promises, they're like fire shut up in you. 361 00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:46,680 Speaker 4: Here's the key. You can't put that fire out. 362 00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:50,639 Speaker 5: You can push it down, you can ignore it. It 363 00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:54,960 Speaker 5: can get buried under discouragement, buried under mistakes, But that 364 00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:58,560 Speaker 5: fire is still burning. You know what I'm doing today. 365 00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:03,160 Speaker 5: I'm fanning your flat. I'm stirring up what's already in you. 366 00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:07,439 Speaker 5: I believe that flame is growing. I believe you're about 367 00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:11,119 Speaker 5: to see a dream that you buried come to pass. 368 00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:15,439 Speaker 5: God's about to do something unusual. After ten years of 369 00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:22,200 Speaker 5: seeing nothing good happening, no good breaks, only activity was persecution, opposition, 370 00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:26,800 Speaker 5: zarube Bell came to a destiny moment where God was saying, 371 00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:30,720 Speaker 5: this is your time. The question was was he going 372 00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:34,800 Speaker 5: to agree with Zachariah and say, yes, I believe I'm 373 00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:39,080 Speaker 5: getting my passion back, I'm getting my vision back, or 374 00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:39,480 Speaker 5: was he. 375 00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:41,040 Speaker 4: Going to talk himself out of it. 376 00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:44,080 Speaker 5: He could have thought, Zachariah, you really think I should 377 00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:45,160 Speaker 5: start building again? 378 00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:47,720 Speaker 4: You know how long it's been, You know how. 379 00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:50,680 Speaker 5: Many people are against me. He would have missed the miracle. 380 00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:54,679 Speaker 5: He made this decision to get in agreement with God. 381 00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:58,320 Speaker 5: He got his shovel out, but before he could dig 382 00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:01,439 Speaker 5: on the temple grounds, he had first dig up his dream. 383 00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:03,880 Speaker 4: He had to realize it was still alive. 384 00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:08,760 Speaker 5: He started building, and things fell into place. Before long 385 00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:12,080 Speaker 5: they completed the temple, a great victory. 386 00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:15,480 Speaker 4: I believe this is a destiny moment for you. 387 00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:20,520 Speaker 5: What's incomplete in your life, Dreams that haven't worked out, 388 00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:24,440 Speaker 5: promises you've given up on. You could leave them buried, 389 00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:28,119 Speaker 5: think it's been too long, or you can decide like 390 00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:32,560 Speaker 5: Zaruba Bell, I'm going to begin again. I'm gonna dream again. 391 00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:35,879 Speaker 5: I'm going to believe again. I'm going to stretch again. 392 00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:39,280 Speaker 5: Maybe you tried to buy the house and it didn't 393 00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:39,760 Speaker 5: work out. 394 00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:41,200 Speaker 4: That was years ago. 395 00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:45,240 Speaker 5: God is saying try again. Or at one time you 396 00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:48,159 Speaker 5: believed you could break the addiction, but it's been a 397 00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:50,240 Speaker 5: long time you've gotten comfortable. 398 00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:53,720 Speaker 4: God is saying, begin again. This is your time. 399 00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:57,520 Speaker 5: Or you had a dream to do something great, to 400 00:21:57,600 --> 00:22:00,840 Speaker 5: break out of the mold, to leave your ar but 401 00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:02,480 Speaker 5: nobody supported you. 402 00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:04,880 Speaker 4: Your family didn't encourage, it didn't work out. 403 00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:08,600 Speaker 5: Whatever you buried, I'm asking you to dig it back up. 404 00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:12,359 Speaker 5: You thought it was dead. You didn't see any signs 405 00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:15,640 Speaker 5: of life. But it's not over until God says it's over. 406 00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:19,320 Speaker 5: If you'll begin again, you're going to see favor like 407 00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:23,160 Speaker 5: you've never seen. Friend of mine was in a taxi cabin. 408 00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:26,560 Speaker 5: He struck up a conversation with the driver who was 409 00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:30,000 Speaker 5: from Slavenia. He asked him what he did when he 410 00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:34,520 Speaker 5: wasn't driving taxis. The man said, I swim rivers. He 411 00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:37,879 Speaker 5: handed my friend a book. His picture was on the front. 412 00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:42,280 Speaker 5: The title was the Man who swamed the Amazon. At 413 00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:46,640 Speaker 5: fifty two years old, this man swam three thousand miles 414 00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:50,800 Speaker 5: the whole Amazon from its source all the way to 415 00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:59,040 Speaker 5: the ocean. Now, the Amazon is extremely dangerous, filled with crocodiles, anacondas, bacteria. 416 00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:04,640 Speaker 5: Plus they're notorious pirates all along the way. Yet every morning, 417 00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:08,800 Speaker 5: for sixty six days, this man would go out and 418 00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:13,040 Speaker 5: swim till nightfall. At one point, doctors told him his 419 00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:16,160 Speaker 5: blood pressure was too high to swim, but he got 420 00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:21,360 Speaker 5: in the river. He spent many restless nights nauseous and chilled, 421 00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:24,560 Speaker 5: but the next morning he got in the river. He 422 00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:28,840 Speaker 5: contracted a brain virus that gave him hallucinations, but he 423 00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:32,800 Speaker 5: got in the river. My friend was so inspired he 424 00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:36,160 Speaker 5: asked him what was next. The man said, I'm going 425 00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:40,320 Speaker 5: to swim around the world, from the Atlantic to the Pacific. 426 00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:44,119 Speaker 5: He's sixty two years old now, and he's trying to 427 00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:49,560 Speaker 5: raise twenty seven million dollars. Nobody has ever swammed the world. 428 00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:52,840 Speaker 5: Experts tell him it's impossible this man. 429 00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:54,399 Speaker 4: Could have easily buried the dream. 430 00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:57,720 Speaker 5: Yet every day he's talking like it's going to happen. 431 00:23:58,080 --> 00:24:01,600 Speaker 5: He's acting like it's going to happen. In steps of faith. 432 00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:06,040 Speaker 5: My friend is a pastor. He thought to himself, If 433 00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:09,720 Speaker 5: this sixty two year old taxi cab driver can still 434 00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:13,720 Speaker 5: be believing to swim the world and to raise millions, 435 00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:16,840 Speaker 5: then I can believe to raise the funds to pay 436 00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:19,439 Speaker 5: my church off, and to impact the world. 437 00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:21,880 Speaker 4: I can believe to accomplish my dreams. 438 00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:28,160 Speaker 5: Friends, it's time to swim your amazon. Whatever God put 439 00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:31,320 Speaker 5: in your heart, go after it. You have to get 440 00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:34,720 Speaker 5: in the river. Quit looking at how impossible it is, 441 00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:37,760 Speaker 5: how long it's been, what you don't have, and get 442 00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:42,119 Speaker 5: in the river. Shake off the disappointments, who left you 443 00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:44,960 Speaker 5: what you didn't get, and get in the river. You 444 00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:49,359 Speaker 5: have greatness in you. You weren't created to live and die, 445 00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:50,760 Speaker 5: and nobody knew. 446 00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:53,880 Speaker 4: You were here. You are destined to leave your mark. 447 00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:57,480 Speaker 5: God wouldn't have put the dream in you if he 448 00:24:57,520 --> 00:24:58,960 Speaker 5: had not already. 449 00:24:58,600 --> 00:25:00,639 Speaker 4: Equipped you and powered you. 450 00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:04,040 Speaker 5: Now get in the river and let your talent shine. 451 00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:05,840 Speaker 5: Get in the river and. 452 00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:08,879 Speaker 4: Show the world what God put in you. Get in 453 00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:12,200 Speaker 4: the river and build that orphanage. Get in the river 454 00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:13,560 Speaker 4: and take new ground. 455 00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:17,040 Speaker 5: God wants to show out in your life. 456 00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:20,240 Speaker 4: He wants to take you further than you've ever imagined. 457 00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:25,440 Speaker 5: In the scripture, Ezekiel had a vision of this valley 458 00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:30,280 Speaker 5: filled with dry bones. Was a huge graveyard with thousands 459 00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:34,560 Speaker 5: of bones on the ground. Bones represent no life and 460 00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:39,879 Speaker 5: what's dead. God ask Ezekiel, do you believe these dead 461 00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:43,880 Speaker 5: bones can live? Ezekiel could have said, God, that's impossible. 462 00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:48,720 Speaker 5: They're bones. They're already dead. It's too late. In other words, God, 463 00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:52,879 Speaker 5: the medical report's not good. God, business is slow. I 464 00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:56,639 Speaker 5: don't have the funds for my dream. God said, in effect, Ezekiel, 465 00:25:57,000 --> 00:25:59,359 Speaker 5: I don't want to hear about all the circumstances. 466 00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:01,600 Speaker 4: I just want to know. Do you believe. 467 00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:07,200 Speaker 5: Ezekiel finally got rid of the excuses and said, yes, Lord, 468 00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:11,080 Speaker 5: I believe Ezekiel spoke to these bones. 469 00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:12,000 Speaker 4: In this vision. 470 00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:19,280 Speaker 5: These bones begin to join together. Organs came skin form 471 00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:20,720 Speaker 5: like a movie. 472 00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:22,280 Speaker 4: They morphed into people. 473 00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:26,080 Speaker 5: God breathed life into them, and they stood up like 474 00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:30,600 Speaker 5: a vast army. Well, the Israelites had been complaining about 475 00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:33,680 Speaker 5: how big the obstacles were and how they'd never make 476 00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:34,920 Speaker 5: it to the promised land. 477 00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:37,640 Speaker 4: They said, all we have are these dry bones. 478 00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:42,280 Speaker 5: God said Ezekiel, You go tell them, I'm about to 479 00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:45,520 Speaker 5: open up their graves. I'm going to bring them back 480 00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:48,200 Speaker 5: to their land, and they will know that I am 481 00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:51,600 Speaker 5: the Lord. You may have dreams that you put in 482 00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:54,199 Speaker 5: the grave, promises that you buried. 483 00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:55,399 Speaker 4: You think there's no way. 484 00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:59,199 Speaker 5: God is saying to you, I'm about to open up 485 00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:02,840 Speaker 5: your graves. I'm about to make things happen where you 486 00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:06,159 Speaker 5: will know I am the Lord. What you thought was 487 00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:09,720 Speaker 5: dead is about to come back to life. That marriage 488 00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:13,240 Speaker 5: you've given up on, that business you wanted to start, 489 00:27:13,560 --> 00:27:16,199 Speaker 5: that house you dreamed about, you buried it. 490 00:27:16,480 --> 00:27:19,080 Speaker 4: You put it in the grave. You get ready. God's 491 00:27:19,119 --> 00:27:22,200 Speaker 4: about to open up that grave. What you don't realize 492 00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:23,600 Speaker 4: is you buried it alive. 493 00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:27,879 Speaker 5: God is about to breathe new life into your health, 494 00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:33,960 Speaker 5: into your finances, into your relationships, into your children. Things 495 00:27:34,080 --> 00:27:37,400 Speaker 5: are going to come together that you thought were impossible, 496 00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:42,000 Speaker 5: even the secret petitions of your heart. Promises that you've 497 00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:45,600 Speaker 5: forgotten about dreams you had as a child. God is 498 00:27:45,640 --> 00:27:48,480 Speaker 5: about to surprise you. He is going to finish what 499 00:27:48,640 --> 00:27:49,320 Speaker 5: he started. 500 00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:52,679 Speaker 4: It's not too late. You didn't miss your chance. You 501 00:27:52,760 --> 00:27:56,720 Speaker 4: haven't made too many mistakes. Now do your part. Believe again. 502 00:27:57,480 --> 00:28:00,760 Speaker 5: Whatever you buried, I'm asking you to dig get back up. 503 00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:05,320 Speaker 5: If you'll do this, I believe and declare new doors 504 00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:08,000 Speaker 5: are about to open. The right people are going to 505 00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:12,960 Speaker 5: find you. Your health is turning around, breakthroughs are coming, promotion, 506 00:28:13,359 --> 00:28:17,520 Speaker 5: new levels.
