He had had a hearing problem 49 00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:17,800 Speaker 4: his whole life. He went to the doctor and was 50 00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:21,000 Speaker 4: fitted with this new state of the art hearing aid 51 00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:24,000 Speaker 4: where he could hear one hundred percent. A few months 52 00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:27,160 Speaker 4: later he went back for a checkup. The doctor said, Wow, 53 00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:30,160 Speaker 4: your hearing is perfect. I bet your family is so 54 00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:33,240 Speaker 4: excited that you can hear again. He said, now, I 55 00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:36,200 Speaker 4: haven't told my family. I just sit around and listen 56 00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:39,840 Speaker 4: to the different conversations, and I've changed my will three times. 57 00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:44,120 Speaker 4: Say it like you mean it. This is my Bible. 58 00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:46,920 Speaker 4: I am what it says I am. I have what 59 00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:49,400 Speaker 4: it says I have. I can do what it says 60 00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:52,160 Speaker 4: I can do. Today I will be talked the word 61 00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:56,280 Speaker 4: of God. I boldly confess. My mind is alert, my 62 00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:59,560 Speaker 4: heart is receptive. I will never be the same. In 63 00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:03,600 Speaker 4: ge his name, God bless you. I want to talk 64 00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:08,320 Speaker 4: to you today about buried alive. Years ago, there was 65 00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:11,560 Speaker 4: a forty six year old man in a small village 66 00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:15,080 Speaker 4: in Romania that was about to be buried in the 67 00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:19,760 Speaker 4: funeral home. His family and friends walked past the open casket, 68 00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:24,080 Speaker 4: grieving and paying their last respects. After the loved ones 69 00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:28,079 Speaker 4: said their goodbyes, they went home and prepared for the burial. 70 00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:33,119 Speaker 4: The next day, something astonishing happened. The man woke up. 71 00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:36,520 Speaker 4: He got out of the coffin and walked back home. 72 00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:41,400 Speaker 4: When neighbors saw him, they nearly passed out. Family members 73 00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:46,119 Speaker 4: were ecstatic. They couldn't believe their eyes. The doctor who 74 00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:50,320 Speaker 4: signed the death certificate couldn't understand it. He couldn't find 75 00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:54,280 Speaker 4: a pulse. The man had no vital signs. Their only 76 00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:59,040 Speaker 4: explanation is he had fallen into a temporary diabetic coma. 77 00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:01,520 Speaker 6: Almost buried alive. 78 00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:06,440 Speaker 4: I wonder how many times we're doing like them and 79 00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:11,480 Speaker 4: burying things alive. We thought the dream was dead. We tried, 80 00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:14,840 Speaker 4: but the door didn't open. We didn't get any good breaks. 81 00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:18,680 Speaker 4: It's been years now. We're convinced. We'll never be promoted, 82 00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:24,000 Speaker 4: never start the business, never write the book. We bury relationships. 83 00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:28,040 Speaker 4: This marriage is done. We don't get along, is never 84 00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:32,640 Speaker 4: going to last. Sometimes we bury promises, Joel, I'll never 85 00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:37,880 Speaker 4: get well, never break the addiction, never live an abundant life. 86 00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:41,600 Speaker 4: At one time we believed we knew. God put it 87 00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:44,560 Speaker 4: in our heart. We talked like it was going to happen. 88 00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:48,080 Speaker 4: We took steps of faith, but now we don't see 89 00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:52,400 Speaker 4: any signs of life. All the circumstances say it's too late, 90 00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:57,200 Speaker 4: so we buried it. The good news is it's buried alive. 91 00:04:58,000 --> 00:04:59,920 Speaker 4: You may not be able to see it, but it's 92 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:03,480 Speaker 4: still has a pulse. If you'll get your passion back, 93 00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:05,240 Speaker 4: God will still. 94 00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:06,120 Speaker 6: Bring it to pass. 95 00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:10,120 Speaker 4: Just because you gave up doesn't mean God gave up. 96 00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:15,359 Speaker 4: God doesn't abort dreams. He doesn't start something and not 97 00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:19,359 Speaker 4: finish it. And like this man that everyone thought was dead, 98 00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:23,160 Speaker 4: but he defied the odds and woke up, You're going 99 00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:26,640 Speaker 4: to see God wake up some things you thought were dead. 100 00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:30,600 Speaker 4: You thought that marriage was dead. God's about to wake 101 00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:35,280 Speaker 4: it up. Your happiest, most fulfilled days in that relationship 102 00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:38,320 Speaker 4: are still in front of you. You thought you would 103 00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:41,560 Speaker 4: never meet the right person, you'd go through life single. 104 00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:44,640 Speaker 4: God's about to wake up your dream. You're going to 105 00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:47,760 Speaker 4: meet someone so amazing you'll know it was a hand 106 00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:51,520 Speaker 4: of God. Or maybe you thought you were too old 107 00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:55,480 Speaker 4: to accomplish your goal. You convinced yourself it's too late. 108 00:05:56,000 --> 00:06:00,320 Speaker 4: You missed too many opportunities. God is about to surprise you. 109 00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:04,320 Speaker 4: That dream is about to come back to life. You 110 00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:06,440 Speaker 4: may have put it in a coma. You may have 111 00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:09,640 Speaker 4: talked yourself out of it. God has you hearing this 112 00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:12,919 Speaker 4: so you can be taught back into it. He wouldn't 113 00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:15,599 Speaker 4: have put the promise in your heart if he wasn't 114 00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:18,320 Speaker 4: going to bring it to pass. It may not have 115 00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:22,159 Speaker 4: happened on your timetable or the way you thought, but 116 00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:26,279 Speaker 4: make no mistake, it is still alive. What God started, 117 00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:29,560 Speaker 4: He's going to finish what he promised you is still 118 00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:32,560 Speaker 4: on the way. It's going to happen suddenly. 119 00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:34,560 Speaker 6: You didn't see it coming. 120 00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:38,159 Speaker 4: Not only are you going to be amazed, but people 121 00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:41,640 Speaker 4: around you are going to be amazed, especially those that 122 00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:42,600 Speaker 4: have discounted. 123 00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:42,719 Speaker 3: You. 124 00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:46,120 Speaker 4: Thought you could never be promoted, you could never take 125 00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:50,240 Speaker 4: new ground. Don't worry. When God wakes up what's been 126 00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:55,320 Speaker 4: lying dormant in you. The potential, the talent, the businesses, 127 00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:58,839 Speaker 4: the dreams, the ideas, the spouse. People are going to 128 00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:01,960 Speaker 4: stand in awe. They're going to know the hand of. 129 00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:04,040 Speaker 6: God is on your life. 130 00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:08,240 Speaker 4: Now do your part. The dreams that you buried, you 131 00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:11,520 Speaker 4: need to dig them back up. Who told you they 132 00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:14,880 Speaker 4: were dead, Who convinced you that you can't get well, 133 00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:18,680 Speaker 4: you can't meet the right person, that you'll never accomplish 134 00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:22,800 Speaker 4: your dream. Those voices did not come from our God. 135 00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:27,200 Speaker 4: That is the enemy trying to deceive you into settling 136 00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:30,440 Speaker 4: for less than you were created to be. He knows 137 00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:33,880 Speaker 4: you have seeds of greatness. He knows there are amazing 138 00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:37,280 Speaker 4: things in your future. It's time to get the shovel 139 00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:42,080 Speaker 4: out whatever you buried, whatever you've given up on, whatever 140 00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:46,240 Speaker 4: you've let people, delays, disappointments talk you out of. I'm 141 00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:49,240 Speaker 4: asking you to dig it back up. How do you 142 00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:51,960 Speaker 4: dig it up? Start talking like it's going to happen. 143 00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:56,840 Speaker 4: Start thanking God that is on the way. Every circumstance 144 00:07:56,960 --> 00:07:58,360 Speaker 4: may say you'll never get well. 145 00:07:58,640 --> 00:07:59,440 Speaker 6: Just accept it. 146 00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:03,680 Speaker 4: If you agree with that and go around discourage, you're 147 00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:07,040 Speaker 4: putting more dirt on the promise. You're burying it deeper. 148 00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:10,320 Speaker 4: But when you go around, Father, thank you that you 149 00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:13,120 Speaker 4: are restoring health back into me. Thank you that the 150 00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:17,280 Speaker 4: number of my days you will fulfill. You're uncovering the promise. 151 00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:20,920 Speaker 4: Or when those thoughts tell you that you've reached your limits, 152 00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:24,480 Speaker 4: you'll never go any further. Turn it around. Father, you said, 153 00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:27,880 Speaker 4: my latter days will be better than my former days. 154 00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:31,480 Speaker 4: You said, the path of the righteous gets brighter and brighter. 155 00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:35,400 Speaker 4: That's how you remove the dirt. As a young man, 156 00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:38,960 Speaker 4: God gave Moses a dream that he would deliver the 157 00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:43,560 Speaker 4: Israelites out of slavery. He was excited. He knew he 158 00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:46,800 Speaker 4: was going to do great things. But Moses made a mistake. 159 00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:51,000 Speaker 4: He killed a man that was mistreating a Hebrew slave. 160 00:08:51,679 --> 00:08:55,640 Speaker 4: Someone saw him. Moses had to flee for his life. 161 00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:58,360 Speaker 4: He spent forty years on the back side of the 162 00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:03,840 Speaker 4: desert in hiding. You can imagine how disappointed and discouraged 163 00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:07,839 Speaker 4: Moses was. He knew God put the promise in his heart, 164 00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:11,480 Speaker 4: but he blew it. It was his own fault. He 165 00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:14,360 Speaker 4: thought he had missed his chance. He did what many 166 00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:18,120 Speaker 4: of us do. He buried his dream. But the scripture 167 00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:23,400 Speaker 4: says God's calling on your life is irrevocable. That means 168 00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:28,240 Speaker 4: God doesn't change his mind. God already knew every mistake 169 00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:31,040 Speaker 4: you would make. He knew every person that would do 170 00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:34,840 Speaker 4: you wrong, every bad break. He took that all into 171 00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:39,319 Speaker 4: account when he called you. You may have buried some dreams. 172 00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:42,559 Speaker 4: You think they're dead. It was your own fault. But 173 00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:46,360 Speaker 4: God is so merciful. At the right time, He's going 174 00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:49,760 Speaker 4: to wake them back up. What you had in the coffin, 175 00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:53,600 Speaker 4: what you've already said your goodbyes, to know your time 176 00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:58,600 Speaker 4: is coming. Your mistakes didn't cancel your destiny. People not 177 00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:03,840 Speaker 4: being for you, delays, disappointments cannot stop what God has 178 00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:07,600 Speaker 4: purposed for your life. And everything that's happened to you 179 00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:10,680 Speaker 4: is a part of the plan to get you to 180 00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:14,439 Speaker 4: where you're supposed to be. You may not understand it. 181 00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:16,920 Speaker 4: It may not have been fair. You don't see how 182 00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:21,040 Speaker 4: it can happen. But God is in control. He's working 183 00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:24,880 Speaker 4: behind the scenes right now, lining up things in your favor, 184 00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:28,800 Speaker 4: arranging the good breaks that you need. I can see 185 00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:32,559 Speaker 4: by faith, dreams coming back to life. I can see 186 00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:36,240 Speaker 4: marriages coming back to life, Businesses that look like they 187 00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:39,679 Speaker 4: were done coming back to life. You may have given 188 00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:42,640 Speaker 4: up on what God promised you, but God. 189 00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:44,800 Speaker 6: Didn't give up. He doesn't change his mind. 190 00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:48,680 Speaker 4: At eighty years of age, Moses was out in the 191 00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:54,360 Speaker 4: desert minding his own business. Suddenly, a bush exploded caught 192 00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:55,600 Speaker 4: fire in front of him. 193 00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:56,920 Speaker 6: A voice boomed out. 194 00:10:56,960 --> 00:11:01,880 Speaker 4: Moses take off your sandals, your own. Holy God told 195 00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:05,880 Speaker 4: him to go, tell the Pharaoh to let the Israelites go. 196 00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:11,000 Speaker 4: I can imagine Moses nearly passing out, saying, I thought 197 00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:12,160 Speaker 4: this dream was dead. 198 00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:13,559 Speaker 6: I buried it. 199 00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:16,920 Speaker 4: I had a funeral. I put flowers on the grave 200 00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:20,440 Speaker 4: every year. God, you mean this whole time, it was 201 00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:25,600 Speaker 4: still alive. After I blew it, after forty years. You mean, God, 202 00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:29,320 Speaker 4: You're still going to do what you said. That's the 203 00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:33,319 Speaker 4: way our God is promises that you think are dead. 204 00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:37,719 Speaker 4: Things that you dreamed about. At one time, you were excited. 205 00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:43,040 Speaker 4: You knew that was your purpose. But now there's been mistakes, disappointments, 206 00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:46,720 Speaker 4: people let you down. You worked tard, the doors didn't open. 207 00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:50,280 Speaker 4: God is saying to you what he said to Moses, 208 00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:54,400 Speaker 4: that dream is not only still alive, but I'm still 209 00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:56,920 Speaker 4: going to bring it to pass. I'm still going to 210 00:11:56,960 --> 00:12:00,440 Speaker 4: heal you. I'm still going to promote you, still going 211 00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:03,080 Speaker 4: to bring the right person. I'm still going to take 212 00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:06,600 Speaker 4: you where you couldn't go on your own. The scripture 213 00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:09,920 Speaker 4: talks about how God will give us the secret petitions 214 00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:13,439 Speaker 4: of our heart. These are the dreams and the promises 215 00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:16,559 Speaker 4: that God whispers to us. In the night. They seem 216 00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:20,360 Speaker 4: too good to be true. We don't tell anyone about them. 217 00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:23,120 Speaker 4: Nobody would believe they would ever come to pass. 218 00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:24,680 Speaker 6: They seem so unlikely. 219 00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:29,240 Speaker 4: But God likes to do far beyond what you can 220 00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:33,000 Speaker 4: accomplish on your own. If you can reach your dreams 221 00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:36,560 Speaker 4: by yourself, in your own talent, your own strength, your 222 00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:40,640 Speaker 4: own ability, then you don't need God. What God will 223 00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:44,360 Speaker 4: speak to your spirit, many times will be so big, 224 00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:49,120 Speaker 4: so far out, that it's easy to dismiss and think 225 00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:52,720 Speaker 4: that could never happen. And too often we are burying 226 00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:56,520 Speaker 4: alive all these amazing things that God wants to do. 227 00:12:57,320 --> 00:13:01,680 Speaker 4: Psalm thirty one says God has blessed stored up for 228 00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:02,480 Speaker 4: the righteous. 229 00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:04,600 Speaker 6: I can imagine in. 230 00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:09,240 Speaker 4: Heaven there's this huge warehouse filled with all kinds of boxes, 231 00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:13,760 Speaker 4: some of which have your name on them, blessings stored up, 232 00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:20,960 Speaker 4: promotion buildings, houses, opportunities, ideas, children's spouse things God has 233 00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:24,120 Speaker 4: promised you. But what if when we get to heaven, 234 00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:27,720 Speaker 4: we go to the warehouse and we look, and there's 235 00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:31,080 Speaker 4: the promise God spoke to us as a child, But 236 00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:32,520 Speaker 4: it was never delivered. 237 00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:34,120 Speaker 6: I thought it was too big. 238 00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:38,680 Speaker 4: And there's the healing God promised, but the medical report 239 00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:41,640 Speaker 4: convinced me I wouldn't get well. There's the house I 240 00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:44,800 Speaker 4: always dreamed about, but I didn't see how it could happen. 241 00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:47,880 Speaker 6: What held it back? We quit believing. 242 00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:51,800 Speaker 4: We let circumstances talk us out of it. The good 243 00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:55,760 Speaker 4: news is all those blessings God has stored up for 244 00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:57,760 Speaker 4: you are still available. 245 00:13:58,360 --> 00:13:59,560 Speaker 6: It is not too late. 246 00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:03,079 Speaker 4: They they are on the shelf waiting for delivery. Now 247 00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:05,560 Speaker 4: I'm asking you to stir your faith up. 248 00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:06,320 Speaker 6: God. 249 00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:09,520 Speaker 4: The circumstances may be against me, but I know you 250 00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:10,120 Speaker 4: are for me. 251 00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:12,479 Speaker 6: The medical report doesn't. 252 00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:15,520 Speaker 4: Look good, but God, I know you're my healer. God. 253 00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:17,840 Speaker 4: I don't have the funds for my dream, but I 254 00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:18,920 Speaker 4: know you own it. 255 00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:19,440 Speaker 5: All. 256 00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:23,120 Speaker 4: By myself, I'm stuck, but God, with you, I know 257 00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:28,560 Speaker 4: I'm unstoppable. You and God are a majority. Don't go 258 00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:33,880 Speaker 4: through life with dreams buried alive when you believe, that's 259 00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:37,320 Speaker 4: what allows God to release those blessings that He has 260 00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:40,720 Speaker 4: stored up for you. As a little boy, a friend 261 00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:42,920 Speaker 4: of mine had a dream to be on the radio. 262 00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:45,880 Speaker 4: He would come home from school at ten years old 263 00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:49,000 Speaker 4: and go down to the basement at his house. They 264 00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:51,640 Speaker 4: had some mics and headphones and he would do a 265 00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:55,120 Speaker 4: radio program. They had these real to real recorders and 266 00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:58,640 Speaker 4: he would interview friends and do the news. The weather 267 00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:02,400 Speaker 4: God put that desire in him as a young boy. 268 00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:07,080 Speaker 4: At fourteen, he was accepted as an intern at a 269 00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:11,800 Speaker 4: very prestigious radio station. He was so excited. This was 270 00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:15,560 Speaker 4: a dream come true. But just before it started, he 271 00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:20,000 Speaker 4: was transferred to a different school. This new school didn't 272 00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:23,320 Speaker 4: have an agreement with the station to have interns, so 273 00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:26,280 Speaker 4: he never got to go. He was mad at his 274 00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:29,880 Speaker 4: parents for making him change schools. He was mad at 275 00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:33,600 Speaker 4: God because it didn't work out. He was so disappointed, 276 00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:35,840 Speaker 4: so upset, he quit doing radio. 277 00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:38,320 Speaker 6: He buried the dream well. 278 00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:41,000 Speaker 4: Several decades had passed and he went on to become 279 00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:44,840 Speaker 4: a pastor of a large church, very successful. After serving 280 00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:48,520 Speaker 4: there for many years, he resigned eventually came to work 281 00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:51,520 Speaker 4: for us. He heads up our pastor's network. 282 00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:53,040 Speaker 6: When we do our. 283 00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:56,480 Speaker 4: Nights of Hope, the events on the Road, the serious 284 00:15:56,680 --> 00:16:00,360 Speaker 4: XM radio program always starts thirty minutes before for the 285 00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:03,960 Speaker 4: actual event. We needed someone to host it, to do 286 00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:07,440 Speaker 4: interviews talk with the pastors, and I thought this friend 287 00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:10,040 Speaker 4: of mine, Phil Munsey. He would be perfect. So he's 288 00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:12,520 Speaker 4: been doing it for the last few years. About a 289 00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:16,560 Speaker 4: year ago, before the event in New York, he sat 290 00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:18,640 Speaker 4: down at the table and was about to go on 291 00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:22,080 Speaker 4: the air. When he put his headphones on and leaned 292 00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:25,360 Speaker 4: toward the mic, he heard God whisper to him. I 293 00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:27,400 Speaker 4: didn't forget about the dream. 294 00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:28,960 Speaker 6: I put in you as a little boy. 295 00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:34,680 Speaker 4: He suddenly realized he was doing what he dreamed about 296 00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:38,040 Speaker 4: forty five years earlier. He had buried it. 297 00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:39,480 Speaker 6: He thought it was dead. 298 00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:43,800 Speaker 4: He thought, because of his parents' decisions, because of the school, 299 00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:47,040 Speaker 4: because of the bad breaks, that it would never happen. 300 00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:51,360 Speaker 4: But God doesn't start something and not finish it. The 301 00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:55,640 Speaker 4: dreams God put in your heart never die. You may 302 00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:58,960 Speaker 4: have gone through disappointments. It's been a long time. People 303 00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:01,920 Speaker 4: did you wrong. What God has stored up for you 304 00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:05,480 Speaker 4: is still in the way, and sometimes, like with Phil, 305 00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:08,960 Speaker 4: God will surprise you. You thought it was too late. 306 00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:12,399 Speaker 4: You thought you've missed your chance. You weren't believing for it. 307 00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:17,080 Speaker 4: But God hasn't forgotten about the secret petitions of your heart. 308 00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:19,640 Speaker 4: He knows what he whispered to you in the night. 309 00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:22,720 Speaker 4: He knows the desires he put in you. That you've 310 00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:26,720 Speaker 4: not told anyone about. God saw what didn't work out. 311 00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:30,359 Speaker 4: He saw the doors that closed, the people that left you. 312 00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:34,240 Speaker 4: That dream didn't die because of what people did. It 313 00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:38,720 Speaker 4: didn't die because of mistakes you made. Forty years later, 314 00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:43,080 Speaker 4: God brought moses dream to pass. Forty five years later, 315 00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:46,680 Speaker 4: God brought Phil's dream to pass. Neither one of them 316 00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:50,800 Speaker 4: were expecting it. Moses didn't think he deserved it. Phil 317 00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:55,040 Speaker 4: had forgotten about it. That's the goodness of our God. Dreams. 318 00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:59,480 Speaker 4: We bury him, promises we give up on. God could say, fine, 319 00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:02,040 Speaker 4: you give up. I'm gonna give up. You don't believe 320 00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:04,560 Speaker 4: in me, I'm not gonna believe in you. But God 321 00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:08,280 Speaker 4: is so merciful, so full of kindness. Even when we 322 00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:12,240 Speaker 4: bury it, it still doesn't die. That promise you think 323 00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:15,080 Speaker 4: is too far gone, you don't deserve it, It's still 324 00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:18,400 Speaker 4: on the way. In the scripture, God gave a man 325 00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:21,800 Speaker 4: by the name Zarubabel a dream to rebuild the temple. 326 00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:25,120 Speaker 4: The whole city had been destroyed, but he went back 327 00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:29,000 Speaker 4: home and successfully laid the foundation. He got off to 328 00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:32,360 Speaker 4: a great start, but people were against him. They went 329 00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:36,080 Speaker 4: to the authorities got a decree forcing him to stop 330 00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:39,479 Speaker 4: I can imagine he went out to the property and 331 00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:44,080 Speaker 4: saw the empty foundation month after month, year after year. 332 00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:47,199 Speaker 4: He was tempted to think it just not meant to be. 333 00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:50,880 Speaker 4: I tried, I gave it my best. It didn't work out. 334 00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:54,760 Speaker 4: He could have buried the dream. No signs of things changing. 335 00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:59,880 Speaker 4: Ten years later, the prophet Zachariah showed up. He said, 336 00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:03,399 Speaker 4: in effect, Zerube Bel, God sent me all this way 337 00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:07,960 Speaker 4: to give you two words, begin again. He was saying, 338 00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:11,840 Speaker 4: it may look dead, it's been years with no activity. 339 00:19:12,280 --> 00:19:15,280 Speaker 4: People against you, your own thoughts, telling you it's never 340 00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:19,320 Speaker 4: going to happen. But God is saying, if you'll begin again, 341 00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:23,840 Speaker 4: if you'll start dreaming again, if you'll start believing again, 342 00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:26,920 Speaker 4: if you'll start taking steps of faith, then God will 343 00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:30,399 Speaker 4: still bring it to pass. When zerube Bel heard this, 344 00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:35,840 Speaker 4: something came alive on the inside. The scripture says, your word, 345 00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:39,560 Speaker 4: O Lord, is like fire shut up in my bones. 346 00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:43,560 Speaker 4: The dreams God put in you, the promises, they're like 347 00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:47,600 Speaker 4: fire shut up in you. Here's the key. You can't 348 00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:51,119 Speaker 4: put that fire out. You can push it down, you 349 00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:55,479 Speaker 4: can ignore it. It can get buried under discouragement, buried 350 00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:56,399 Speaker 4: under mistakes. 351 00:19:56,680 --> 00:19:58,760 Speaker 6: But that fire is still burning. 352 00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:02,159 Speaker 4: You know what I'm doing, and today I'm fanning your flame. 353 00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:06,240 Speaker 4: I'm stirring up what's already in you. I believe that 354 00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:09,960 Speaker 4: flame is growing. I believe you're about to see a 355 00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:13,159 Speaker 4: dream that you buried come to pass. 356 00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:15,639 Speaker 6: God's about to do something unusual. 357 00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:20,720 Speaker 4: After ten years of seeing nothing good happening, no good breaks, 358 00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:26,239 Speaker 4: only activity was persecution, opposition, zarube Bell came to a 359 00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:29,879 Speaker 4: destiny moment where God was saying, this is your time. 360 00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:34,800 Speaker 4: The question was was he going to agree with Zachariah 361 00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:38,240 Speaker 4: and say, yes, I believe I'm getting my passion back, 362 00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:41,720 Speaker 4: I'm getting my vision back, or was he going to 363 00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:45,000 Speaker 4: talk himself out of it. He could have thought, Zachariah, 364 00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:47,800 Speaker 4: you really think I should start building again? You know 365 00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:50,399 Speaker 4: how long it's been, you know how many people are 366 00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:52,680 Speaker 4: against me. He would have missed the miracle. 367 00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:55,280 Speaker 6: He made this decision. 368 00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:58,520 Speaker 4: To get in agreement with God. He got his shovel out, 369 00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:01,800 Speaker 4: but before he could dig on the temple grounds, he 370 00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:04,399 Speaker 4: had to first dig up his dream. He had to 371 00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:08,880 Speaker 4: realize it was still alive. He started building, things fell 372 00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:14,119 Speaker 4: into place. Before long, they completed the temple, a great victory. 373 00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:18,440 Speaker 4: I believe this is a destiny moment for you. What's 374 00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:23,440 Speaker 4: incomplete in your life, Dreams that haven't worked out, promises 375 00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:27,080 Speaker 4: you've given up on. You could leave them buried, think 376 00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:30,960 Speaker 4: it's been too long, or you can decide, like Zaruba Bell, 377 00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:35,200 Speaker 4: I'm going to begin again. I'm gonna dream again. I'm 378 00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:39,160 Speaker 4: going to believe again. I'm going to stretch again. Maybe 379 00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:41,800 Speaker 4: you tried to buy the house and it didn't work out. 380 00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:46,320 Speaker 4: That was years ago. God is saying try again. Or 381 00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:49,040 Speaker 4: at one time you believed you could break the addiction, 382 00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:52,760 Speaker 4: but it's been a long time you've gotten comfortable. God 383 00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:54,439 Speaker 4: is saying, begin again. 384 00:21:54,800 --> 00:21:55,800 Speaker 6: This is your time. 385 00:21:56,760 --> 00:21:59,520 Speaker 4: Or you had a dream to do something great, to 386 00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:02,320 Speaker 4: break out out of the mold, to leave your mark, 387 00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:06,359 Speaker 4: but nobody supported you. Your family didn't encourage, it didn't 388 00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:09,960 Speaker 4: work out. Whatever you buried, I'm asking you to dig 389 00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:13,520 Speaker 4: it back up. You thought it was dead. You didn't 390 00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:16,600 Speaker 4: see any signs of life. But it's not over until 391 00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:20,119 Speaker 4: God says it's over. If you'll begin again, you'll go 392 00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:23,920 Speaker 4: to see favor like you've never seen. Friend of mine 393 00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:26,960 Speaker 4: was in a taxi cabin. He struck up a conversation 394 00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:30,800 Speaker 4: with the driver who was from Slovenia. He asked him 395 00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:34,399 Speaker 4: what he did when he wasn't driving taxis. The man said, 396 00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:38,679 Speaker 4: I swim rivers. He handed my friend a book. His 397 00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:41,800 Speaker 4: picture was on the front. The title was the Man 398 00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:46,160 Speaker 4: who Swammed the Amazon. At fifty two years old, this 399 00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:51,000 Speaker 4: man swam three thousand miles the whole Amazon from its 400 00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:55,159 Speaker 4: source all the way to the ocean. Now, the Amazon 401 00:22:55,280 --> 00:23:01,040 Speaker 4: is extremely dangerous, filled with crocodiles and a conda bacteria. 402 00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:05,680 Speaker 4: Plus there are notorious pirates all along the way. Yet 403 00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:09,960 Speaker 4: every morning, for sixty six days, this man would go 404 00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:14,640 Speaker 4: out and swim till nightfall. At one point, doctors told 405 00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:17,720 Speaker 4: him his blood pressure was too high to swim, but 406 00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:21,640 Speaker 4: he got in the river. He spent many restless nights 407 00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:25,280 Speaker 4: nauseous and chilled, but the next morning he got in 408 00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:30,359 Speaker 4: the river. He contracted a brain virus that gave him hallucinations, 409 00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:33,480 Speaker 4: but he got in the river. My friend was so 410 00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:37,520 Speaker 4: inspired he asked him what was next. The man said, 411 00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:41,159 Speaker 4: I'm going to swim around the world, from the Atlantic 412 00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:42,320 Speaker 4: to the Pacific. 413 00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:44,160 Speaker 6: He's sixty two. 414 00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:47,240 Speaker 4: Years old now, and he's trying to raise twenty seven 415 00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:52,560 Speaker 4: million dollars. Nobody has ever swammed the world. Experts tell 416 00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:56,439 Speaker 4: him it's impossible. This man could have easily buried the dream. 417 00:23:56,840 --> 00:23:58,080 Speaker 4: Yet every day. 418 00:23:58,080 --> 00:23:59,760 Speaker 6: He's talking like it's going to happen. 419 00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:03,159 Speaker 4: He's acted like it's going to happen, taking steps of faith. 420 00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:08,040 Speaker 4: My friend is a pastor. He thought to himself, if 421 00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:11,760 Speaker 4: this sixty two year old taxi cab driver can still 422 00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:15,760 Speaker 4: be believing to swim the world and to raise millions, 423 00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:18,840 Speaker 4: then I can believe to raise the funds to pay 424 00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:21,439 Speaker 4: my church off, and to impact the world. 425 00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:23,880 Speaker 6: I can believe to accomplish my dreams. 426 00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:30,160 Speaker 4: Friends, it's time to swim your amazon. Whatever God put 427 00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:33,320 Speaker 4: in your heart, go after it. You have to get 428 00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:36,760 Speaker 4: in the river. Quit looking at how impossible it is, 429 00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:39,800 Speaker 4: how long it's been, what you don't have, and get 430 00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:44,119 Speaker 4: in the river. Shake off the disappointments who left you 431 00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:45,240 Speaker 4: what you didn't. 432 00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:46,480 Speaker 6: Get, and get in the river. 433 00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:50,680 Speaker 4: You have greatness in you. You weren't created to live 434 00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:54,200 Speaker 4: and die, and nobody knew you were here. You are 435 00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:57,879 Speaker 4: destined to leave your mark. God wouldn't have put the 436 00:24:57,960 --> 00:25:01,280 Speaker 4: dream in you if he had not already equipped you 437 00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:04,959 Speaker 4: and empowered you. Now get in the river and let 438 00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:08,320 Speaker 4: your talent shine. Get in the river and show the 439 00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:11,359 Speaker 4: world what God put in you. Get in the river 440 00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:14,760 Speaker 4: and build that orphanage. Get in the river and take 441 00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:19,040 Speaker 4: new ground. God wants to show out in your life. 442 00:25:19,119 --> 00:25:22,280 Speaker 4: He wants to take you further than you've ever imagined. 443 00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:27,400 Speaker 4: In the scripture, Ezekiel had a vision of this valley 444 00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:32,280 Speaker 4: filled with dry bones. Was a huge graveyard with thousands 445 00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:36,600 Speaker 4: of bones on the ground. Bones represent no life and 446 00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:41,880 Speaker 4: what's dead. God ask Ezekiel, do you believe these dead 447 00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:45,920 Speaker 4: bones can live? Ezekiel could have said, God, that's impossible. 448 00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:48,359 Speaker 4: They're bones. They're already dead. 449 00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:49,160 Speaker 6: It's too late. 450 00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:53,280 Speaker 4: In other words, God, the medical report's not good. God, 451 00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:56,560 Speaker 4: business is slow. I don't have the funds for my dream. 452 00:25:57,080 --> 00:25:59,679 Speaker 4: God said, in effect, Ezekiel, I don't want to hear 453 00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:02,359 Speaker 4: about all the circumstances. I just want to know. 454 00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:03,600 Speaker 6: Do you believe. 455 00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:09,200 Speaker 4: Ezekiel finally got rid of the excuses and said, yes, Lord, 456 00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:14,000 Speaker 4: I believe Ezekiel spoke to these bones. In this vision, 457 00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:21,280 Speaker 4: these bones begin to join together. Organs came skin form 458 00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:22,720 Speaker 4: like a movie. 459 00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:26,240 Speaker 6: They morphed into people. God breathed life. 460 00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:29,880 Speaker 4: Into them, and they stood up like a vast army. 461 00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:30,160 Speaker 5: Well. 462 00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:34,000 Speaker 4: The Israelites had been complaining about how big the obstacles 463 00:26:34,040 --> 00:26:36,960 Speaker 4: were and how they'd never make it to the Promised Land. 464 00:26:37,359 --> 00:26:40,600 Speaker 4: They said, all we have are these dry bones. God 465 00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:44,760 Speaker 4: said Ezekiel, You go tell them. I'm about to open 466 00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:47,720 Speaker 4: up their graves. I'm going to bring them back to 467 00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:50,680 Speaker 4: their land, and they will know that I am the Lord. 468 00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:54,199 Speaker 4: You may have dreams that you put in the grave, 469 00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:58,359 Speaker 4: promises that you buried. You think there's no way. God 470 00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:02,000 Speaker 4: is saying to you, I'm about to open up your graves. 471 00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:05,280 Speaker 4: I'm about to make things happen where you will know 472 00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:08,960 Speaker 4: I am the Lord. What you thought was dead is 473 00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:12,200 Speaker 4: about to come back to life. That marriage you've given 474 00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:16,159 Speaker 4: up on, that business you wanted to start, that house 475 00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:19,040 Speaker 4: you dreamed about, You buried it. You put it in 476 00:27:19,119 --> 00:27:19,600 Speaker 4: the grave. 477 00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:20,520 Speaker 6: Get ready. 478 00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:23,640 Speaker 4: God's about to open up that grave. What you don't 479 00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:27,480 Speaker 4: realize is you buried it alive. God is about to 480 00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:32,600 Speaker 4: breathe new life into your health, into your finances, into 481 00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:36,840 Speaker 4: your relationships, into your children. Things are going to come 482 00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:41,800 Speaker 4: together that you thought were impossible, even the secret petitions 483 00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:45,800 Speaker 4: of your heart. Promises that you've forgotten about dreams you 484 00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:48,920 Speaker 4: had as a child. God is about to surprise you. 485 00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:51,879 Speaker 4: He is going to finish what he started. It's not 486 00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:55,359 Speaker 4: too late. You didn't miss your chance. You haven't made 487 00:27:55,359 --> 00:27:57,680 Speaker 4: too many mistakes. Now do your part. 488 00:27:57,960 --> 00:27:58,760 Speaker 6: Believe again. 489 00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:02,159 Speaker 4: Whatever when you buried, I'm asking you to dig it 490 00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:06,200 Speaker 4: back up. If you'll do this, I believe and declare, 491 00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:09,720 Speaker 4: new doors are about to open.

Just say this, Lord Jesus, I 498 00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:34,240 Speaker 4: repent of my sins. 499 00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:40,000 Speaker 6: Come into my heart.
