1 00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:03,240 Speaker 1: Hi, this is Joel and Victorian. Thanks so much for 2 00:00:03,279 --> 00:00:06,480 Speaker 1: listening to the podcast and thanks for supporting the ministry. 3 00:00:06,680 --> 00:00:08,639 Speaker 1: We'd love to have you join us for a service 4 00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:12,119 Speaker 1: in person sometime, or you can always watch online.

Will God bless 8 00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:23,200 Speaker 1: you and it's a joy to come into your homes. 9 00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:26,040 Speaker 1: And if you're ever in our area, please stop by 10 00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:28,920 Speaker 1: be a part of one of our services. I promise 11 00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:31,880 Speaker 1: you we'll make you feel right at home. I'd like 12 00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:34,760 Speaker 1: to start with something funny, and I heard about this pastor. 13 00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:38,360 Speaker 1: He found a dead mule on the church grounds. He 14 00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:40,839 Speaker 1: called the health department and they said they couldn't pick 15 00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:44,720 Speaker 1: it up without authorization from the mayor. Well, the mayor 16 00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:47,360 Speaker 1: was known to be rude and hard to get along with. 17 00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:51,680 Speaker 1: When the pastor called, the mayor didn't disappoint He started 18 00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:55,240 Speaker 1: ranting and raving. Finally said, why are you even calling me? 19 00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:59,120 Speaker 1: Isn't it your job to bury the dead? The pastor 20 00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:01,920 Speaker 1: asked God for the right response. He said, yes, Mayor, 21 00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:04,560 Speaker 1: it is my job to bury the dead. But I 22 00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:09,560 Speaker 1: always like to notify the next of ken first, say 23 00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:12,200 Speaker 1: it like you mean it. This is my Bible. I 24 00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:14,600 Speaker 1: am what it says I am. I have what it 25 00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:17,000 Speaker 1: says I have. I can do what it says I 26 00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:20,120 Speaker 1: can do. Today I will be taught the word of God. 27 00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:24,720 Speaker 1: I boldly confess. My mind is alert, my heart is receptive. 28 00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:28,640 Speaker 1: I will never be the same. In Jesus' name, God 29 00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:31,880 Speaker 1: bless you. I want to talk to you today about 30 00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:36,440 Speaker 1: night seasons. We all go through times that we don't understand. 31 00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:40,360 Speaker 1: We're praying and believing, but our health isn't improving, our 32 00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:44,120 Speaker 1: finances haven't turned around. We still haven't met the right person. 33 00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:48,600 Speaker 1: We can feel alone, forgotten, like it's never going to change. 34 00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:52,680 Speaker 1: It's a night season, and in these night seasons, you 35 00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:56,360 Speaker 1: can't see what God is doing. Doesn't look like anything 36 00:01:56,440 --> 00:02:00,680 Speaker 1: is happening, but God is working behind the scene. He 37 00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:04,480 Speaker 1: does his greatest work in the dark. We don't see 38 00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:08,560 Speaker 1: anything changing. We're still dealing with the same problem. But 39 00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:12,959 Speaker 1: God hasn't forgotten about you. In the dark times, when 40 00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:16,920 Speaker 1: life feels unfair, you have to remind yourself that God 41 00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:20,880 Speaker 1: is still in control. Just because you don't see anything 42 00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:25,040 Speaker 1: doesn't mean that God is not working. He doesn't always 43 00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:28,040 Speaker 1: show you what he's up to. And it's easy to 44 00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:30,960 Speaker 1: trust him when you're getting good breaks, things are going great, 45 00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:33,800 Speaker 1: but you have to learn to trust him in the 46 00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:37,440 Speaker 1: night seasons, when things aren't going your way. You don't 47 00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:41,399 Speaker 1: see anything happening. The heroes of Faith all went through 48 00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:45,799 Speaker 1: these night seasons. David, as a young man, defeated Goliath. 49 00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:49,560 Speaker 1: It was a great victory. But after that he spent 50 00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:53,960 Speaker 1: years running from King Saul, having to hide in caves, 51 00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:58,040 Speaker 1: sleep in the desert. I'm sure he prayed God delivered 52 00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:01,080 Speaker 1: me from Saul. This is not right, but it was 53 00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:05,120 Speaker 1: like the heavens were silent. God didn't change it. Saul 54 00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:08,959 Speaker 1: was wrong. It was unfair to David. But the night 55 00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:12,959 Speaker 1: seasons are a time of testing, a time of proving. 56 00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:17,280 Speaker 1: Are we going to get negative, live discouraged, or are 57 00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:19,959 Speaker 1: we going to say? God, I don't understand it. It's 58 00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:23,160 Speaker 1: not fair, but I trust you. I know you're not 59 00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:25,760 Speaker 1: just the God of the daytime, but you're the God 60 00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:30,000 Speaker 1: of the night seasons. In the scripture, Ruth lost her 61 00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:33,320 Speaker 1: husband at an early age. He was killed in a battle, 62 00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:37,800 Speaker 1: and she was devastated, heartbroken. She could have given up 63 00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:42,440 Speaker 1: on life, lived in self pity. But she understood this principle. 64 00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:46,760 Speaker 1: The night seasons are not the end. The bad breaks, 65 00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:51,440 Speaker 1: the disappointments, the loss, the sickness, that's simply another step 66 00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:55,720 Speaker 1: on the way to your destiny. The Psalmist said, weeping 67 00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:59,880 Speaker 1: may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning. 68 00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:05,800 Speaker 1: Your story doesn't end in the night. The night is temporary, 69 00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:11,160 Speaker 1: The sickness is temporary, the loneliness temporary. That addiction, it's 70 00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:15,280 Speaker 1: only temporary. Ruth went on to meet another man. They 71 00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:19,000 Speaker 1: fell in love, god married, had a baby. Her story 72 00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:23,039 Speaker 1: didn't end in the dark. When things aren't working out, 73 00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:26,400 Speaker 1: you feel like you're going the wrong direction. God's not 74 00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:30,920 Speaker 1: changing it. Don't get discouraged. It's just a night season. 75 00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:35,000 Speaker 1: It's not permanent. It's not how your story ends. You 76 00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:38,799 Speaker 1: may not see anything happening, but God is at work. 77 00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:43,320 Speaker 1: Dare to trust him. Keep moving forward in faith, keep believing. 78 00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:46,680 Speaker 1: It's just a matter of time before the morning breaks. Forth. 79 00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:50,919 Speaker 1: Job went through a night's season. Everything was going great. 80 00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:55,479 Speaker 1: He was happy, healthy, successful, and life took a sudden 81 00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:59,480 Speaker 1: turn out of nowhere. He came down with an illness, 82 00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:04,320 Speaker 1: boils all over his body, it's very painful. He lost 83 00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:08,200 Speaker 1: his business, lost his family. His whole world was turned 84 00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:12,520 Speaker 1: upside down. And what's interesting is Job was a good man. 85 00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:16,880 Speaker 1: He loved God. He was a person of excellence and integrity. 86 00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:20,480 Speaker 1: This would make more sense if he was a compromiser, 87 00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:25,839 Speaker 1: making wrong choices, not honoring God. The scripture says rain 88 00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:30,240 Speaker 1: falls on the just and the unjust. Just because you're 89 00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:33,160 Speaker 1: a good person doesn't mean you're not going to have 90 00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:36,720 Speaker 1: some night seasons. And you may be in a difficult 91 00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:40,640 Speaker 1: time now, it doesn't necessarily mean you've done something wrong. 92 00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:44,240 Speaker 1: God's not pleased with you. You don't have his favor. It's 93 00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:48,599 Speaker 1: just life. You're getting some rain. Without the rain, we 94 00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:52,440 Speaker 1: couldn't grow. God wouldn't have allowed it if it was 95 00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:55,520 Speaker 1: going to keep you from your destiny. He has you 96 00:05:55,680 --> 00:06:00,279 Speaker 1: in the palm of his hand. He's closely watching you. 97 00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:02,880 Speaker 1: You may feel like you're in the fire, but God 98 00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:06,480 Speaker 1: controls the thermostat. He won't let it be more than 99 00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:09,240 Speaker 1: you can handle it. Now, quit telling yourself. I'll never 100 00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:12,279 Speaker 1: make it through this, Joe, I'll never get well, never 101 00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:16,200 Speaker 1: accomplish my dream. Now, it's just a night season. It's 102 00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:19,440 Speaker 1: not a surprise to God. He already has the solution. 103 00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:23,760 Speaker 1: The breakthrough is headed your way. But Job did what 104 00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:26,880 Speaker 1: many of us do in the difficult times. He focused 105 00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:30,400 Speaker 1: on the problem, magnified what was wrong, and let it 106 00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:34,559 Speaker 1: overwhelm him. He said in chapter seven, I will never 107 00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:39,599 Speaker 1: again experience pleasure. I have been assigned to long, weary 108 00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:44,360 Speaker 1: nights of misery. He was saying, this is permanent. This 109 00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:47,880 Speaker 1: is how my story ends. I've been assigned to nights 110 00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:51,839 Speaker 1: of misery. We do an event called a night of hope. 111 00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:53,880 Speaker 1: If Job would have been touring, he would have called 112 00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:57,440 Speaker 1: it a night of misery. I'm not making light of 113 00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:00,600 Speaker 1: what he faced, because it was serious. But the mistake 114 00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:05,080 Speaker 1: he made was thinking it was permanent. What you're going 115 00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:08,760 Speaker 1: through may be difficult, but the good news is you 116 00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:13,160 Speaker 1: are going through it. It's not your final destination. It's 117 00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:18,960 Speaker 1: a night season, not a night lifetime. In Job's darkest hour, 118 00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:22,480 Speaker 1: when he was the most discouraged, God said to him, 119 00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:26,320 Speaker 1: I will fill your mouth with laughter and your lips 120 00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:29,920 Speaker 1: with shouts of joy. God was saying, Job, it looks bad. 121 00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:33,800 Speaker 1: You don't understand it, but don't worry. It's not permanent. 122 00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:37,240 Speaker 1: It's just a season. I'm about to fill your mouth 123 00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:41,120 Speaker 1: with laughter. God is saying to you what he said 124 00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:44,600 Speaker 1: to Job. Life may not have been fair, but you're 125 00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:49,040 Speaker 1: not going to live discouraged, overwhelmed by problems, burdened down 126 00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:54,160 Speaker 1: by illnesses. Joy is coming, Health is coming, breakthroughs are coming, 127 00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:58,080 Speaker 1: Promotion is coming. God is about to fill your mouth 128 00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:02,240 Speaker 1: with laughter. That means God's going to do something so unusual, 129 00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:06,720 Speaker 1: so extraordinary. You'll be so amazed all you can do 130 00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:10,320 Speaker 1: is laugh. Your mourning is going to be turned to dancing. 131 00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:14,400 Speaker 1: Your sorrow turned to joy. This is what happened with Job. 132 00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:17,640 Speaker 1: He didn't just make it through the night season, but 133 00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:21,520 Speaker 1: God restored back to him double what he lost. He 134 00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:24,320 Speaker 1: came out with twice the cattle, twice, the sheep, twice, 135 00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:28,360 Speaker 1: the business he felt twice as healthy. God always makes 136 00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:31,760 Speaker 1: the enemy pay for bringing the trouble. If you'll stay 137 00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:34,360 Speaker 1: in faith, you won't just come out, You will come 138 00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:38,840 Speaker 1: out better than you were before. The scripture says after 139 00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:43,000 Speaker 1: this Job lived one hundred and forty years and saw 140 00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:47,679 Speaker 1: four generations. Then he died an old man, having lived 141 00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:51,120 Speaker 1: a long, good life. When we think of Job, we 142 00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:54,360 Speaker 1: usually think all the pain, all the suffering. The truth 143 00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:58,440 Speaker 1: is that was just one season. You may be in 144 00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:01,840 Speaker 1: a dark time job, you're going to come through it 145 00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:06,040 Speaker 1: and still live a long, blessed life. It says after 146 00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:09,040 Speaker 1: this job lived one hundred and forty years. After what 147 00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:13,920 Speaker 1: after the ninth season? That means after the loss, after 148 00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:17,439 Speaker 1: the disappointment, after the divorce, after the sickness, there are 149 00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:21,600 Speaker 1: still many great days up ahead. My father went through 150 00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:24,839 Speaker 1: a ninth season. He was married at a very young age, 151 00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:29,440 Speaker 1: and unfortunately the marriage didn't work out. He was devastated. 152 00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:33,280 Speaker 1: He resigned from his church and got out of the ministry. 153 00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:37,440 Speaker 1: Denominational leaders told him that he would never pastor again. 154 00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:41,720 Speaker 1: People said he was finished. The good news is people 155 00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:47,839 Speaker 1: don't determine your destiny. God does. Two years later he 156 00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:51,240 Speaker 1: got back in the ministry and he ended up marrying 157 00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:54,440 Speaker 1: my mother and they had five children. Were married for 158 00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:58,520 Speaker 1: almost fifty years. Then they started Lakewood. He pastored here 159 00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:03,520 Speaker 1: forty years, touching the word. This all happened after the divorce, 160 00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:07,880 Speaker 1: after the disappointment. He thought that would sour the rest 161 00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:11,160 Speaker 1: of his life, but it was just a season. He 162 00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:14,200 Speaker 1: went on to live a long, blessed, faith filled life. 163 00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:17,760 Speaker 1: Don't let the night seasons convince you that you've seen 164 00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:21,120 Speaker 1: your best days. You wouldn't be alive unless God had 165 00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:24,400 Speaker 1: something amazing up in front of you. But in the 166 00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:27,920 Speaker 1: dark times, it's easy to talk about the difficulties, talk 167 00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:31,480 Speaker 1: about how bad life is treating us like job, exaggerate 168 00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:34,000 Speaker 1: our problems. All that's going to do is make you 169 00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:38,680 Speaker 1: more discourage, more defeated. Take your joy instead of complaining. 170 00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:41,680 Speaker 1: One of the best things you can say is all 171 00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:45,120 Speaker 1: is well. When you say all is well, what you're 172 00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:48,360 Speaker 1: really saying is God is still on the throne. I'm 173 00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:51,679 Speaker 1: not going to live upset, bitter, guilty. I may be 174 00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:55,120 Speaker 1: in a night season, but I know this too shall pass. 175 00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:58,959 Speaker 1: All is well. Somebody says, well, I thought the medical 176 00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:02,400 Speaker 1: report wasn't good. Yes, that's true, but all is well. 177 00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:06,000 Speaker 1: God is restoring health back into me. Your child is 178 00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:09,280 Speaker 1: still off course, yes, but I'm not worried. All is well. 179 00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:13,240 Speaker 1: As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord. Joel. 180 00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:16,280 Speaker 1: How can you say all is well when you went 181 00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:19,400 Speaker 1: through a breakup, you lost a loved one, you still 182 00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:22,360 Speaker 1: haven't met the right person. The way you can say 183 00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:26,679 Speaker 1: it is because you know the night's season is only temporary. 184 00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:30,440 Speaker 1: You know joy is coming. You know what was meant 185 00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:33,520 Speaker 1: for harm. God is turning to your advantage. You know 186 00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:37,720 Speaker 1: after this is a long, blessed, faith filled life. Now, 187 00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:42,000 Speaker 1: don't talk yourself into being miserable. We all have ninth 188 00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:46,080 Speaker 1: seasons things we don't understand. Keep a report of victory 189 00:11:46,080 --> 00:11:49,360 Speaker 1: coming out of your mouth. If you're going to magnify something, 190 00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:54,360 Speaker 1: don't magnify your problems. Magnify your God. Talk about his greatness, 191 00:11:54,400 --> 00:11:59,120 Speaker 1: talk about his favor. And yes, you may have big challenges, 192 00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:01,440 Speaker 1: but can I tell you we serve a big God. 193 00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:06,280 Speaker 1: The sickness may seem impossible. God can do the impossible. 194 00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:10,800 Speaker 1: That obstacle may look permanent. One touch of God's favor 195 00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:14,920 Speaker 1: will thrust you to a next level. Quit worrying. God 196 00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:19,200 Speaker 1: is saying all is well in your finances, all is 197 00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:23,280 Speaker 1: well in your health, all is well in your family, 198 00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:27,160 Speaker 1: all is well. It may be night right now, but 199 00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:30,640 Speaker 1: morning is coming. You're going to see what God was 200 00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:34,720 Speaker 1: doing behind the scenes. And every day you stay in faith, 201 00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:38,760 Speaker 1: every day you keep a good attitude despite the darkness, 202 00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:42,520 Speaker 1: you are passing the test. That night's season will come 203 00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:46,920 Speaker 1: to an end. The Psalmist said, when darkness overtakes the 204 00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:53,400 Speaker 1: righteous light will come bursting in it's going to happen suddenly, unexpectedly. 205 00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:56,600 Speaker 1: You didn't see it coming. You woke up and it 206 00:12:56,679 --> 00:13:00,319 Speaker 1: was still dark. Nothing had changed. Then suddenly you get 207 00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:03,760 Speaker 1: the break you kneed. Suddenly your health turns around. Suddenly 208 00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:06,960 Speaker 1: you meet the right person. The light will come bursting in. 209 00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:11,200 Speaker 1: Moses went through a night season as a young man. 210 00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:15,280 Speaker 1: He made a mistake and killed someone that was mistreating 211 00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:18,680 Speaker 1: a Hebrew slave. He knew he was called to deliver 212 00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:22,200 Speaker 1: the Israelites, but he got out of God's timing and 213 00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:25,000 Speaker 1: tried to do it on his own. He had to 214 00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:28,720 Speaker 1: flee for his life. He spent forty years on the 215 00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:33,640 Speaker 1: backside of the desert in hiding. He felt alone, forgotten, 216 00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:37,120 Speaker 1: and it was his fault. Every voice said, too bad, 217 00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:41,400 Speaker 1: you blew it. You're a failure. But God doesn't waste 218 00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:44,920 Speaker 1: anything that we go through. He uses it to get 219 00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:48,600 Speaker 1: us prepared for our destiny. In those years out in 220 00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:52,600 Speaker 1: the desert, Moses couldn't see what God was doing behind 221 00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:56,520 Speaker 1: the scenes, but God was making him and molding him. 222 00:13:57,040 --> 00:14:00,080 Speaker 1: He thought he was finished, but God was using that 223 00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:04,720 Speaker 1: time to develop his character. He was getting him prepared 224 00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:09,880 Speaker 1: for his comeback. Like Moses, you may have made mistakes 225 00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:14,000 Speaker 1: that have put you in a night season. Something was delayed. 226 00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:16,960 Speaker 1: You had to take a detour. You're not where you 227 00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:19,800 Speaker 1: thought you would be. Now you think you have to 228 00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:23,440 Speaker 1: settle there and never accomplish what God put in your heart. 229 00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:27,440 Speaker 1: You may not realize it, but right now God is 230 00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:31,960 Speaker 1: getting you prepared for your comeback. What he started he's 231 00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:36,600 Speaker 1: going to finish. He's already taken into account every wrong term, 232 00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:40,880 Speaker 1: every mistake, every bad break. It may look like the 233 00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:45,040 Speaker 1: end to you. The truth is it's just a temporary delay. 234 00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:49,400 Speaker 1: It's a time of testing, a time of proving where 235 00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:53,800 Speaker 1: your character is being developed. God is working in you, 236 00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:57,920 Speaker 1: polishing off the rough edges. He's getting you prepared for 237 00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:02,200 Speaker 1: where he's taken you. Forty years later, God came back 238 00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:04,960 Speaker 1: and said, all right, Moses, now I'm ready for you 239 00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:09,400 Speaker 1: to deliver my people. The scripture says Moses was the 240 00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:14,080 Speaker 1: most humble man in all the land. In that night season, 241 00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:18,400 Speaker 1: Moses changed. He learned to wait on God, to listen 242 00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:21,640 Speaker 1: to his boys, to walk in humility. He came up 243 00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:26,960 Speaker 1: higher in his character in the difficult times. Stay pliable, 244 00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:31,920 Speaker 1: stay open, say God, make me and mold me. Show 245 00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:35,480 Speaker 1: me where I need to change. You grow in the 246 00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:40,440 Speaker 1: tough times, even physically. You grow at night when you're asleep, 247 00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:44,200 Speaker 1: in the same way when you're in a night season. 248 00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:47,880 Speaker 1: You may not like it, but it's working for you. 249 00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:51,800 Speaker 1: You're getting stronger. You have to be prepared for where 250 00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:55,240 Speaker 1: God has taken you. Moses couldn't handle it the first 251 00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:59,400 Speaker 1: time he made a mistake, had to run. God didn't 252 00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:03,200 Speaker 1: write him all, He didn't cancel his destiny. He used 253 00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:07,560 Speaker 1: the night season to refine him. When Saul was chasing 254 00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:12,160 Speaker 1: David through the desert, there were several opportunities for David 255 00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:15,480 Speaker 1: to kill Saul. He could have taken his life, gotten 256 00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:19,120 Speaker 1: rid of his problem. David wouldn't do it. He knew 257 00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:23,120 Speaker 1: Saul had been anointed by God. He told his men, 258 00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:26,920 Speaker 1: I'm not going to harm what God has anointed. After 259 00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:30,920 Speaker 1: he passed these tests, after David showed God what he 260 00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:35,000 Speaker 1: was made of a man of character and integrity, God 261 00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:37,640 Speaker 1: took care of Saul and David was made the king 262 00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:42,040 Speaker 1: in the night seasons. If you will pass these tests, 263 00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:45,800 Speaker 1: change where you need to change, deal with the areas 264 00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:49,320 Speaker 1: God's bringing to life. Prove to him that you'll do 265 00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:52,560 Speaker 1: the right thing when it's hard. You'll forgive even though 266 00:16:52,600 --> 00:16:57,000 Speaker 1: they hurt you. Then, like David, because your character has 267 00:16:57,040 --> 00:17:00,320 Speaker 1: been developed, God will bring you out of that night 268 00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:03,040 Speaker 1: season and get you to where you're supposed to be. 269 00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:07,399 Speaker 1: But some things we can only develop in the dark. 270 00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:12,000 Speaker 1: Without the night seasons, we wouldn't become all God created 271 00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:16,040 Speaker 1: us to be. A caterpillar can be going along just fine. 272 00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:20,760 Speaker 1: Everything is great, But down deep, something says, you're not 273 00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:24,600 Speaker 1: supposed to crawl your whole life. You have more in you. 274 00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:28,840 Speaker 1: He gets excited, thinking, yes, that's right. Then he looks 275 00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:31,760 Speaker 1: in the mirror and says, what was I thinking. I'll 276 00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:36,919 Speaker 1: never fly. I'm just a glorified worm. That's impossible. But 277 00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:41,639 Speaker 1: one day the caterpillar spins a cocoon around itself. He 278 00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:46,600 Speaker 1: hangs upside down from a branch. It's dark, he can't move, 279 00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:50,000 Speaker 1: he can't eat. If you were to ask him when 280 00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:53,159 Speaker 1: he was in the cocoon, he would say, let me 281 00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:55,840 Speaker 1: go back to where I was, Let me go back 282 00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:58,440 Speaker 1: to being a caterpillar. I don't like where I am. 283 00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:04,120 Speaker 1: I'm uncomfortable. It's dark, it's lonely. What he doesn't realize 284 00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:08,800 Speaker 1: is in the dark, a transformation is taking place. Before long, 285 00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:12,760 Speaker 1: he starts feeling some wings. He gets the strength to 286 00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:16,080 Speaker 1: push out of that cocoon. Now, instead of crawling on 287 00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:19,840 Speaker 1: the ground, he's a beautiful butterfly, floating through the air 288 00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:24,560 Speaker 1: like the caterpillar. None of us like the night seasons. 289 00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:28,200 Speaker 1: We don't like being uncomfortable. We don't see anything happening. 290 00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:33,159 Speaker 1: But there are times that God incubates us. He takes 291 00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:36,560 Speaker 1: us through the dark places, not to make us miserable, 292 00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:41,400 Speaker 1: but in the dark a transformation is taking place. You're growing, 293 00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:44,679 Speaker 1: You're being refined. You may not like it, but you 294 00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:48,840 Speaker 1: have to keep reminding yourself. Your wings are developing. You're 295 00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:52,000 Speaker 1: about to step up to a new level. No more 296 00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:56,240 Speaker 1: crawling living in mediocrity. You were made for higher things. 297 00:18:56,880 --> 00:18:59,679 Speaker 1: You may be in a night season, but by faith, 298 00:19:00,320 --> 00:19:03,320 Speaker 1: I can see your cocoon starting to open up. I 299 00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:06,560 Speaker 1: can see a wing coming out. This is no time 300 00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:09,640 Speaker 1: to be discouraged. You're on the verge of taking off. 301 00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:13,280 Speaker 1: You're about to become a beautiful butterfly. You're going to 302 00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:17,560 Speaker 1: go places that you've never dreamed. Now, don't complain about 303 00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:21,639 Speaker 1: the cocoon. It's dark, it's uncomfortable, I'm lonely. Keep a 304 00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:25,160 Speaker 1: good attitude. It's all a part of the process God 305 00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:29,160 Speaker 1: has changing you from glory to glory. In the scripture, 306 00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:32,600 Speaker 1: Jacob had not lived the right kind of life. He 307 00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:36,119 Speaker 1: was dishonest, He cheated people, tricked his brother out of 308 00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:39,800 Speaker 1: his birthright. You would think that God wouldn't have anything 309 00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:43,119 Speaker 1: to do with him. But God doesn't write us off. 310 00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:47,359 Speaker 1: He keeps working with us, showing us his mercy. And 311 00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:51,080 Speaker 1: Jacob was traveling on a long journey through the desert. 312 00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:56,760 Speaker 1: He was hot and tired, hungry. Nothing was going his way. 313 00:19:57,480 --> 00:20:00,560 Speaker 1: He came to a place to spend the night. All 314 00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:04,000 Speaker 1: he could find for a pillow was a rock. He 315 00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:08,240 Speaker 1: was in a hard place, a lonely time, a night's season. 316 00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:12,040 Speaker 1: I'm sure he thought that God had forgotten about him. 317 00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:16,360 Speaker 1: He went to sleep that night, down on himself, discouraged, 318 00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:20,760 Speaker 1: full of regrets. While he was sleeping, he had a dream. 319 00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:24,720 Speaker 1: He saw the heavens open up. There was a huge 320 00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:28,240 Speaker 1: staircase with angels going up and down. At the top, 321 00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:32,320 Speaker 1: the Lord was standing there. He said, Jacob, the ground 322 00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:36,160 Speaker 1: you are lying on belongs to you and your descendants. 323 00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:39,800 Speaker 1: I will protect you wherever you go. I will be 324 00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:43,800 Speaker 1: with you continually until I give you everything that I 325 00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:47,800 Speaker 1: have promised. When Jacob woke up, he couldn't believe what 326 00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:51,480 Speaker 1: he had seen. He said, surely the Lord was in 327 00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:56,280 Speaker 1: this place. What's interesting is he wasn't in the church, 328 00:20:56,600 --> 00:20:59,480 Speaker 1: wasn't in a temple, wasn't in the synagogue. He was 329 00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:03,639 Speaker 1: in the God was showing us that he's the God 330 00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:07,760 Speaker 1: of hard places, the God of lonely times, the God 331 00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:12,280 Speaker 1: of night seasons. You may be in a difficulty now, 332 00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:16,560 Speaker 1: fighting a battle in your health, dealing with depression, raising 333 00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:20,960 Speaker 1: a special needs child, you feel alone, forgotten, discourage. God 334 00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:24,560 Speaker 1: is right there with you. Like with Jacob, I believe 335 00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:27,840 Speaker 1: the heavens are about to open up. God is going 336 00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:31,600 Speaker 1: to make things happen that you couldn't make happen. You 337 00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:35,280 Speaker 1: may be in a hard place, but you're not staying there. 338 00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:39,040 Speaker 1: Your health is going to improve, You're going to break 339 00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:42,080 Speaker 1: that addiction. The right people are going to show up. 340 00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:44,720 Speaker 1: You're going to say, like him, the Lord was in 341 00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:48,240 Speaker 1: this place. The Lord heal me from cancer, the Lord 342 00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:52,440 Speaker 1: freed me from depression, The Lord bless my business. He's 343 00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:55,639 Speaker 1: not going to stop until he's given you everything that 344 00:21:55,680 --> 00:22:00,520 Speaker 1: he's promised. You've heard the phrase the night shift. That means, 345 00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:03,400 Speaker 1: of course, people that work during the night. But think 346 00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:06,920 Speaker 1: of it another way. In the night things are going 347 00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:11,880 Speaker 1: to shift. The scripture says God never sleeps. He doesn't 348 00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:15,199 Speaker 1: just work the night shift, but he shifts things in 349 00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:18,399 Speaker 1: the night. You may be in a night season. You 350 00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:20,919 Speaker 1: don't see how it could work out. Don't worry. A 351 00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:24,320 Speaker 1: night shift is coming. The God who works the night 352 00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:28,120 Speaker 1: shift is going to shift things in your favor. There's 353 00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:30,719 Speaker 1: going to be a shift in your health, a shift 354 00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:34,800 Speaker 1: in your finances, a shift with that addiction. You think 355 00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:37,280 Speaker 1: you're going to have it for years. It looks permanent. No, 356 00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:40,879 Speaker 1: get ready for a night shift. This is what happened 357 00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:43,879 Speaker 1: with Paul and Silas. They were in prison for spreading 358 00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:47,800 Speaker 1: the good news down in the deepest dungeons. Their feet 359 00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:51,679 Speaker 1: were in chains. But at midnight, as they were singing 360 00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:55,800 Speaker 1: praises to God, suddenly there was a great earthquake. The 361 00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:59,000 Speaker 1: prison doors flung open, the chains came off their feet. 362 00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:03,080 Speaker 1: They walked out as free men. What happened? God shifted 363 00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:06,840 Speaker 1: the earth, shifted the prison doors. When did it happen 364 00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:11,000 Speaker 1: at midnight? It was a night shift from the God 365 00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:15,000 Speaker 1: who works the night shift. Things that look permittent in 366 00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:19,840 Speaker 1: your life, the addiction, the sickness, the panic attacks, the 367 00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:23,280 Speaker 1: lack and struggle. Thoughts will tell you you'll always have to 368 00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:26,520 Speaker 1: deal with that. Don't believe those lies. You're in a 369 00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:31,159 Speaker 1: night season. That means you're in perfect position for a 370 00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:36,560 Speaker 1: night shift. God specializes in shifting things in the dark 371 00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:40,240 Speaker 1: instead of worrying all through the day. Lord, thank you 372 00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:43,240 Speaker 1: for a night shift. Thank you that things are changing 373 00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:46,399 Speaker 1: in my favor. It's dark now, but God, I believe 374 00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:50,800 Speaker 1: what you said. Light is about to come bursting. In 375 00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:54,600 Speaker 1: Genesis chapter two, Adam was in the garden of Eden 376 00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:59,080 Speaker 1: by himself. Life was good. He was naming the animals 377 00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:04,000 Speaker 1: that God created, enjoying the crystal clear river, beautiful trees, 378 00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:08,560 Speaker 1: delicious fruit. There were no problems, no sickness, no opposition. 379 00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:12,240 Speaker 1: He didn't think it could get any better. But God 380 00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:16,000 Speaker 1: didn't want him to live alone. Verse twenty one says 381 00:24:16,520 --> 00:24:21,600 Speaker 1: God caused Adam to fall into a deep sleep. God 382 00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:25,359 Speaker 1: put him in a night season. He took a rib 383 00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:28,679 Speaker 1: from his side and used it to create a woman. 384 00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:33,280 Speaker 1: When Adam woke up from this deep sleep and saw Eve, 385 00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:36,520 Speaker 1: the first thing he said was, Wow, God, you have 386 00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:41,399 Speaker 1: outdone yourself. But I'm sure at the time. He didn't 387 00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:45,480 Speaker 1: understand why God was putting him to sleep. He was happy, 388 00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:50,000 Speaker 1: life was good, but some things we can only develop 389 00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:53,280 Speaker 1: in the dark. If God didn't put us to sleep, 390 00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:56,280 Speaker 1: so to speak, have us go through a ninth season, 391 00:24:56,600 --> 00:24:59,360 Speaker 1: we would never see the fullness of what He has 392 00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:02,560 Speaker 1: in store. You may feel like God has put you 393 00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:06,320 Speaker 1: to sleep. Things have slowed down. You're in a challenge. 394 00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:10,720 Speaker 1: It's a night season. Be encouraged when you wake up 395 00:25:11,080 --> 00:25:13,920 Speaker 1: and see what God has been up to. First thing 396 00:25:13,960 --> 00:25:17,119 Speaker 1: you're going to say is, Wow, God, I never dreamed 397 00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:19,960 Speaker 1: you'd take me here. I never dreamed we'd have the 398 00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:23,520 Speaker 1: Compact Center. I never dreamed i'd be this healthy again. 399 00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:28,520 Speaker 1: God has some wows in your future. Don't complain about 400 00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:31,600 Speaker 1: the dark places. They are leading you to the amazing 401 00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:35,160 Speaker 1: things God has in store. And you may not understand it, 402 00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:38,320 Speaker 1: but God wouldn't have allowed it if he wasn't going 403 00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:42,239 Speaker 1: to use it to your advantage. Right now, God is 404 00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:46,160 Speaker 1: working behind the scenes. He sees what you're dealing with. 405 00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:50,560 Speaker 1: He knows how you feel. He's saying the night seasons 406 00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:55,400 Speaker 1: are not permanent. You may be in that cocoon, it's dark, uncomfortable, 407 00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:59,760 Speaker 1: but He's making you and molding you. Your wings are developing. 408 00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:02,720 Speaker 1: You're about to take off to a new level. I 409 00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:06,600 Speaker 1: believe and declare You're about to see a night shift 410 00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:11,680 Speaker 1: from sickness to health, from lack to abundance, from addictions 411 00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:14,880 Speaker 1: to freedom. The light is going to come bursting in. 412 00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:19,240 Speaker 1: Get readies for some wows in Jesus' name. If you 413 00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:23,960 Speaker 1: receive it, can you say amen? I'd like to give 414 00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:27,560 Speaker 1: you an opportunity to make Jesus the lord of your life. 415 00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:32,480 Speaker 1: Would you pray with me? Just say, Lord, Jesus, I 416 00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:37,560 Speaker 1: repent of my sins. Come into my heart. I make 417 00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:42,120 Speaker 1: you my Lord and savior. If you prayed that simple prayer, 418 00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:44,720 Speaker 1: we believe you got born again. Get in a good 419 00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:47,679 Speaker 1: Bible based church, and keep God first place. 420 00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:52,199 Speaker 2: Sometimes life can make you feel like you were just 421 00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:54,960 Speaker 2: living in the dark. Even your prayers don't feel like 422 00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:57,800 Speaker 2: they are making it to heaven. But God is listening 423 00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:01,639 Speaker 2: and his light is about to shine. 424 00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:04,399 Speaker 1: We know God is all powerful that he can answer 425 00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:07,680 Speaker 1: any prayer, but sometimes we don't know what to pray. 426 00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:12,200 Speaker 1: We don't think we deserve God's goodness. Maybe we're inconveniencing him, 427 00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:15,200 Speaker 1: or he has more important things to deal with But 428 00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:19,160 Speaker 1: God is concerned about every detail of your life.
