I like to start with something funny. And 49 00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:19,440 Speaker 2: one day Jesus and Satan were having a contest to 50 00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:23,400 Speaker 2: see who was better with computers. After six hours of 51 00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:27,560 Speaker 2: making spreadsheets and designing web pages, a thunderstorm knocked the 52 00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:31,800 Speaker 2: power out. When they rebooted their computers, Satan started screaming, 53 00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:36,079 Speaker 2: it's all lost. All my material is gone, while Jesus 54 00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:39,239 Speaker 2: quietly walked over and printed his out turned it in. 55 00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:43,120 Speaker 2: Satan complained, it's not fair. He must have cheated. How 56 00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:46,280 Speaker 2: come he didn't lose his material. God smiled and said, 57 00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:51,959 Speaker 2: Jesus Saves, say it like you mean it. This is 58 00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:55,079 Speaker 2: my Bible. I am what it says I am. I 59 00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:57,600 Speaker 2: have what it says I have. I can do what 60 00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:00,520 Speaker 2: it says I can do. Today I will be taught 61 00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:04,720 Speaker 2: the word of God. I'll boldly confess. My mind is alert, 62 00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:08,040 Speaker 2: my heart is receptive. I will never be the same. 63 00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:13,120 Speaker 2: In Jesus' name, God bless you. I want to talk 64 00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:17,280 Speaker 2: to you today about It's a setup. Everything in your 65 00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:22,919 Speaker 2: life has been carefully orchestrated. God is strategic before you 66 00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:26,400 Speaker 2: were born. He laid out a specific plan for you. 67 00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:32,400 Speaker 2: Nothing randomly happens, not just the good breaks, the promotions, 68 00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:36,160 Speaker 2: the times you've seen favor, but even the closed doors, 69 00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:41,160 Speaker 2: the disappointments, the betrayals. That's all a part of God's plan. 70 00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:45,360 Speaker 2: It may not make sense, it wasn't fair, but God 71 00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:48,160 Speaker 2: wouldn't have allowed it if it wasn't going to work 72 00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:52,200 Speaker 2: for your good. And if you don't understand that nothing 73 00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:56,880 Speaker 2: randomly happens, then you'll be frustrated when things don't go 74 00:03:57,040 --> 00:04:02,160 Speaker 2: your way, upset because somebody did you, bitter because a 75 00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:06,880 Speaker 2: person walked away, when in reality, it was ordained by 76 00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:11,200 Speaker 2: God to move you into your destiny. You are not 77 00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:15,760 Speaker 2: at the mercy of luck, of fate of other people. 78 00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:19,920 Speaker 2: The God who causes the earth to rotate down to 79 00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:25,080 Speaker 2: the exact millisecond, has ordered your steps. Do you think 80 00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:28,640 Speaker 2: another person can stop what God has ordered for you? 81 00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:32,760 Speaker 2: Do you think a bad break, a closed door, a 82 00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:37,000 Speaker 2: jealous coworker can change what God has spoken over your life. 83 00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:41,640 Speaker 2: The people coming against you, the negative circumstances, they are 84 00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:45,560 Speaker 2: pawns in the hands of God. The enemy thinks he's 85 00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:49,120 Speaker 2: using them to hold you back. The truth is God 86 00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:53,040 Speaker 2: is using them to push you forward. In the scripture, 87 00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:57,000 Speaker 2: Joseph's brothers threw him into a pit. They thought they 88 00:04:57,040 --> 00:05:00,880 Speaker 2: were stopping his destiny, but God used them to put 89 00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:06,520 Speaker 2: Joseph into his destiny. God ordained them to betray Joseph. 90 00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:09,040 Speaker 2: It was a part of the plan that God laid 91 00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:13,960 Speaker 2: out for his life. Without that betrayal, without Potiphar's wife 92 00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:19,000 Speaker 2: falsely accusing Joseph, without him spending time unfairly in prison, 93 00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:23,799 Speaker 2: Joseph would have never fulfilled his destiny. It wasn't random, 94 00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:28,880 Speaker 2: it wasn't bad luck. It was strategic. Are you fighting 95 00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:33,480 Speaker 2: what God has ordained? Frustrated because a door closed, or 96 00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:38,679 Speaker 2: bitter because somebody walked away. Without that, you couldn't fulfill 97 00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:42,720 Speaker 2: your purpose. The enemy didn't come in and somehow take 98 00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:46,800 Speaker 2: the steering will, and now he's in control. He superseded 99 00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:51,320 Speaker 2: God's plan. He overpowered the creator. He doesn't have that 100 00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:55,160 Speaker 2: kind of authority. The God who breathed life into you, 101 00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:58,960 Speaker 2: the God who has numbered your days, the God who 102 00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:03,000 Speaker 2: is for you and not against you, is in complete control. 103 00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:07,120 Speaker 2: You may not understand what happened, it may not have 104 00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:10,920 Speaker 2: been fair. But if you'll stay in faith, one day, 105 00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:15,080 Speaker 2: you'll see, like Joseph, it wasn't random, it was intentional. 106 00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:19,200 Speaker 2: It was a setup. God used it to push you forward. 107 00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:23,640 Speaker 2: But when we isolate a negative experience and look at 108 00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:27,040 Speaker 2: it on its own, it may not make sense. If 109 00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:30,479 Speaker 2: you have a large puzzle, sometimes you'll find a piece 110 00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:34,360 Speaker 2: that doesn't look like it fits. You're sure the manufacturer 111 00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:38,719 Speaker 2: has made a mistake. It's an odd shape, a strange color. 112 00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:42,560 Speaker 2: But when the other pieces come together, there will be 113 00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:46,280 Speaker 2: a perfect fit. The colors will match, the edges will 114 00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:50,280 Speaker 2: line up. Without that piece, the puzzle wouldn't be complete. 115 00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:54,080 Speaker 2: You may have a piece to your puzzle today that 116 00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:57,960 Speaker 2: doesn't make sense. You could think God didn't ordain this. 117 00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:01,920 Speaker 2: I lost my main client, a relationship didn't work out, 118 00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:05,760 Speaker 2: my child got off course. This doesn't fit. You may 119 00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:08,840 Speaker 2: not see it now, but God is not through working. 120 00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:12,400 Speaker 2: You don't know what he's up to. You're looking at 121 00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:16,360 Speaker 2: one piece like Joseph. You're looking at the betrayal. What 122 00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:20,120 Speaker 2: you can't see is the throne is coming. Instead of 123 00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:24,559 Speaker 2: fighting it being bitter, turn it around, God. My life 124 00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:27,640 Speaker 2: is in your hands. I know your plans for me 125 00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:31,560 Speaker 2: are for good. I may not understand everything, but God 126 00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:34,560 Speaker 2: I trust you. I believe you'll get me to where 127 00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:38,800 Speaker 2: I'm supposed to be. The scripture says God has ordered 128 00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:43,840 Speaker 2: your steps, doesn't say he has suggested them. Maybe this 129 00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:48,320 Speaker 2: will happen, maybe that will happen. Your steps have been ordered. 130 00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:52,200 Speaker 2: But here's what I've learned. When God ordered my steps, 131 00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:56,400 Speaker 2: he didn't check with me. He didn't ask for my opinion. 132 00:07:57,000 --> 00:07:59,320 Speaker 2: If he would have, I would have told him I 133 00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:02,160 Speaker 2: don't want to go through that disappointment. I don't want 134 00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:04,600 Speaker 2: those people to talk about me. I don't want that 135 00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:07,280 Speaker 2: company to follow a lawsuit to try to keep us 136 00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:10,680 Speaker 2: from moving into the compact center. I would have said 137 00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:15,040 Speaker 2: no to all the difficulties because I couldn't see where 138 00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:20,000 Speaker 2: they were taking me. You can't reach your destiny without opposition, 139 00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:26,200 Speaker 2: without betrayal, without criticism, without things you don't understand. When 140 00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:28,679 Speaker 2: my father went to be with the Lord, I didn't 141 00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:31,800 Speaker 2: see anything good about that. I lost one of my 142 00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:35,520 Speaker 2: best friends, somebody I admired and looked up to. I 143 00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:38,640 Speaker 2: wanted him to live another twenty years. But it was 144 00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:42,120 Speaker 2: that loss that pushed me into what I'm doing today. 145 00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:46,360 Speaker 2: On the other side of the difficulty is a new 146 00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:50,360 Speaker 2: level of your destiny. If you'll keep the right attitude, 147 00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:54,520 Speaker 2: all things will work for your good, not some things. 148 00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:58,560 Speaker 2: Not just the good breaks, the promotion, but even the loss, 149 00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:02,840 Speaker 2: the disappointment, the person that walked away. It wasn't random, 150 00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:08,000 Speaker 2: It was ordained by God. John chapter eleven. Lazarus was 151 00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:12,320 Speaker 2: very sick. His two sisters, Mary and Martha sent word 152 00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:14,920 Speaker 2: to their friend Jesus to come to their house and 153 00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:18,680 Speaker 2: pray for him. Jesus was in another city. He waited 154 00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:22,520 Speaker 2: four days, and Lazarus died. There were all these people 155 00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:26,000 Speaker 2: gathered at the house to pay their respects and comfort 156 00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:30,240 Speaker 2: the family. Then Jesus showed up. He raised Lazarus from 157 00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:34,079 Speaker 2: the dead. Most of the people there were excited, and 158 00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:38,079 Speaker 2: they believed in Jesus, but some of them were cynical. 159 00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:41,800 Speaker 2: They couldn't deny his power, but they weren't for him. 160 00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:46,079 Speaker 2: They rushed back to tell the Pharisees, the religious leaders, 161 00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:51,440 Speaker 2: what happened. The main priest called the council together, said 162 00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:54,560 Speaker 2: if we let Jesus continue, the whole nation will believe 163 00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:58,599 Speaker 2: in him. Verse fifty three says from that time on, 164 00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:05,160 Speaker 2: the religion leaders began to plot Jesus' death. Lazarus being 165 00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:08,600 Speaker 2: raised was a strategic part in the plan of God. 166 00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:13,160 Speaker 2: It's set into emotion all these other events that eventually 167 00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:18,040 Speaker 2: led to Jesus being crucified. That's why Jesus waited on 168 00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:21,800 Speaker 2: purpose for Lazarus to die. He could have gone there 169 00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:25,240 Speaker 2: sooner and healed him, or he could have spoken healing 170 00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:28,760 Speaker 2: from another city like he had done and healed other people. 171 00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:32,800 Speaker 2: But he waited for Lazarus to die so all these 172 00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:36,440 Speaker 2: people would be gathered. It would create such a commotion 173 00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:39,880 Speaker 2: a man being raised from the dead, that the critics 174 00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:43,040 Speaker 2: would go back and get the council all stirred up. 175 00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:46,760 Speaker 2: What am I saying, What may look like a crisis 176 00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:50,880 Speaker 2: to us can still be the plan of God. Mary 177 00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:54,480 Speaker 2: and Martha were upset, weeping. They couldn't see it at 178 00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:59,400 Speaker 2: the time, that crisis was ordained by God. Jesus being 179 00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:03,040 Speaker 2: delayed was in an accident. Him not coming when they 180 00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:10,199 Speaker 2: asked was divinely orchestrated. Nothing randomly happens, even the crisis, 181 00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:14,000 Speaker 2: the bad breaks, the things that don't make sense. We 182 00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:16,800 Speaker 2: can't see it. But God is still on the throne. 183 00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:21,200 Speaker 2: Thoughts will tell you it's never gonna work out. There's 184 00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:24,440 Speaker 2: no purpose to this. You just have bad luck. Don't 185 00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:29,040 Speaker 2: believe those lies. God is up to something. God is strategic. 186 00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:32,640 Speaker 2: Things are in motion right now that you can't see. 187 00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:36,719 Speaker 2: Behind the scenes. God's moving the wrong people out of 188 00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:40,719 Speaker 2: the way, lining up the right people, arranging things in 189 00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:44,760 Speaker 2: your favor. It's in the process of coming together. We 190 00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:47,679 Speaker 2: may not understand it all, but I can assure you 191 00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:53,680 Speaker 2: nothing is random. The delay was on purpose. The betrayal 192 00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:56,920 Speaker 2: was ordained by God. The person that turned on you 193 00:11:57,559 --> 00:12:01,040 Speaker 2: wasn't supposed to be for you. May seem like it's 194 00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:04,960 Speaker 2: out of control, but God is still in complete control. 195 00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:08,120 Speaker 2: The plan He's laid out for your life is right 196 00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:12,000 Speaker 2: on track. Now, keep doing the right thing when you 197 00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:16,640 Speaker 2: don't understand, stay in faith when people betray you, do 198 00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:19,719 Speaker 2: the right thing when the wrong thing is happening. Your 199 00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:24,640 Speaker 2: time is coming. What God ordained will come to pass. 200 00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:28,920 Speaker 2: No person can stop him. No bad break, no crisis, 201 00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:34,040 Speaker 2: no people, all the forces of darkness cannot stop what 202 00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:37,079 Speaker 2: God has purposed for your life. Now, you have to 203 00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:40,800 Speaker 2: be so convinced that God is for you that you 204 00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:44,840 Speaker 2: don't fall apart when life is against you. You don't 205 00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:48,520 Speaker 2: get bitter because things didn't work out your way. You 206 00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:51,440 Speaker 2: don't give up on a dream because you had a setback. 207 00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:55,440 Speaker 2: You know, it's a setup that God has the final 208 00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:58,199 Speaker 2: saying that he didn't bring you this far to leave you, 209 00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:01,560 Speaker 2: that him being for you is more than the world 210 00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:05,120 Speaker 2: being against you. The High Priest wanted to get rid 211 00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:08,440 Speaker 2: of Jesus. He started coming up with all these plans 212 00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:12,600 Speaker 2: and all these schemes. He needed somebody that would betray him, 213 00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:17,679 Speaker 2: needed people that would falsely accuse him. What's interesting is 214 00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:21,920 Speaker 2: God didn't stop their plans, but he used their plans 215 00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:26,520 Speaker 2: to fulfill the purpose of Christ. God is all knowing. 216 00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:31,360 Speaker 2: He has an advantage. He knew everything the enemy would 217 00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:34,559 Speaker 2: try to do in your life. He's already taken that 218 00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:39,120 Speaker 2: into consideration when he laid out your plan. Now, he 219 00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:42,719 Speaker 2: may not stop every plot of the enemy against you. 220 00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:46,800 Speaker 2: He won't stop every bad break, every betrayal, but he 221 00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:51,000 Speaker 2: will use that to move you into your destiny. He 222 00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:54,199 Speaker 2: didn't stop Joseph's brothers from throwing him into the pit. 223 00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:57,320 Speaker 2: He didn't stop them from selling him as a slave. 224 00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:00,800 Speaker 2: But God took that into a can out when he 225 00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:05,240 Speaker 2: laid out Joseph's purpose. I can imagine God thinking, okay, 226 00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:08,000 Speaker 2: they want to sell him. They want to make him 227 00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:11,200 Speaker 2: a slave, that's fine. I'll turn it to his advantage. 228 00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:15,959 Speaker 2: I'll design Joseph's plan so that Potter for his boss, 229 00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:20,560 Speaker 2: will like him. I'll give Joseph the ability to interpret dreams, 230 00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:23,600 Speaker 2: and then I'll give the Pharaoh a dream that only 231 00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:28,920 Speaker 2: Joseph can interpret. God has designed your plan, knowing every 232 00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:33,200 Speaker 2: plot against you. He knows every bad break that will happen, 233 00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:38,080 Speaker 2: every closed door, every disappointment. And the good news is 234 00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:43,280 Speaker 2: God's strategic plan will override every plan that was meant 235 00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:48,280 Speaker 2: to stop you. That's why Isaiah said no weapon formed 236 00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:53,200 Speaker 2: against you will prosper. Doesn't say they want form. Judas 237 00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:57,520 Speaker 2: will show up, people will betray you, injustice will come, 238 00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:02,400 Speaker 2: but they want prosper Why. God has taken into account 239 00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:07,560 Speaker 2: their jealousy, their malice, their hatred, what they meant for harm. 240 00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:11,000 Speaker 2: God has already designed a plan to use it for 241 00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:16,080 Speaker 2: your good. You don't have to live discouraged when negative 242 00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:20,480 Speaker 2: things come against you, trying to pay people back, frustrated 243 00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:24,920 Speaker 2: because of a disappointment. Stay in peace. God hasn't all 244 00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:28,560 Speaker 2: figured out. He wouldn't have allowed it if it was 245 00:15:28,640 --> 00:15:32,960 Speaker 2: going to stop you. If Joseph's brothers throwing him into 246 00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:37,120 Speaker 2: a pit was going to stop Joseph's destiny. God wouldn't 247 00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:39,800 Speaker 2: have let the Brothers do it. God held back the 248 00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:43,200 Speaker 2: Red Sea. He could have held the Brothers back. God 249 00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:47,360 Speaker 2: allowed it because it was a part of Joseph's destiny. 250 00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:52,840 Speaker 2: Quit fighting what God has allowed. Without that happening, you 251 00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:56,880 Speaker 2: couldn't fulfill your purpose. It's a setup. You may not 252 00:15:57,240 --> 00:16:00,440 Speaker 2: like it, it may be uncomfortable, but if you stay 253 00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:03,800 Speaker 2: in faith, one day, you're going to see what God 254 00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:06,960 Speaker 2: was up to. Judas went in and told the religious 255 00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:10,920 Speaker 2: leaders that he would betray Jesus. They were so excited. 256 00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:14,360 Speaker 2: This was the big break they were looking for. They 257 00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:18,360 Speaker 2: didn't realize Judas was a pawn in the hand of God. 258 00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:23,360 Speaker 2: Wasn't his idea. God was using him to move Jesus 259 00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:27,480 Speaker 2: into his purpose. We give our enemies too much credit. 260 00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:30,840 Speaker 2: They can only do what God allows them to do. 261 00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:37,120 Speaker 2: Judas couldn't stop Jesus his betrayal, His disloyalty, couldn't keep 262 00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:41,280 Speaker 2: the plan of God from unfolding. When people come against you, 263 00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:44,080 Speaker 2: don't get bent out of shape. They can't stop you. 264 00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:48,160 Speaker 2: They think they're hindering you. But like Judas, God is 265 00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:51,480 Speaker 2: going to use them to move you further into your destiny. 266 00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:56,560 Speaker 2: But sometimes we make mistakes. We bring the trouble on ourselves. 267 00:16:57,240 --> 00:16:59,640 Speaker 2: We get off course and do things we know that 268 00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:02,680 Speaker 2: we sho shouldn't do. But the beauty of our God 269 00:17:03,400 --> 00:17:06,680 Speaker 2: is he not only designed your plan knowing what the 270 00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:10,160 Speaker 2: enemy would try to do against you, but he designed 271 00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:14,440 Speaker 2: your plan knowing the mistakes you would make. God has 272 00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:18,320 Speaker 2: taken into account the times we would fail, times we'd 273 00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:24,440 Speaker 2: compromise given to temptations. He's so merciful, He's already designed 274 00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:27,920 Speaker 2: the plan to restore us and get us back on course. 275 00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:31,400 Speaker 2: God told Jonah to go to the city of Nineveh 276 00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:34,800 Speaker 2: and tell the people to repent. Jonah didn't want to 277 00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:38,160 Speaker 2: go there. He got on a boat going the other way. 278 00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:42,480 Speaker 2: He went exactly opposite of what God told him to do. 279 00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:47,000 Speaker 2: You would think he's done too bad. He stepped out 280 00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:51,480 Speaker 2: of God's plan. But on the boat a huge storm arose. 281 00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:55,040 Speaker 2: They were all about to die. Jonah admitted to the 282 00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:57,720 Speaker 2: crew that he was the problem, that he was running 283 00:17:57,760 --> 00:18:01,000 Speaker 2: from God. That's why they were having trouble. The crew 284 00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:04,280 Speaker 2: was so loving. They said, Jonah, thank you for being 285 00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:08,600 Speaker 2: so honest. Then they threw him overboard. This should have 286 00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:12,359 Speaker 2: been the end of Jonah's story, out in the middle 287 00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:15,639 Speaker 2: of the ocean in a huge storm, but it just 288 00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:19,600 Speaker 2: so happened. A big fish was swimming by at the 289 00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:23,399 Speaker 2: right place at the right time, feeling hungry, and it 290 00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:27,359 Speaker 2: swallowed Jonah up. He spent three days in the belly 291 00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:30,040 Speaker 2: of the fish. On the third day, the fish came 292 00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:33,080 Speaker 2: up from the bottom of the ocean and spit Jonah 293 00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:37,960 Speaker 2: out on dry ground. Hundreds of years later, Jesus would say, 294 00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:41,200 Speaker 2: as Jonah was in the belly of the fish for 295 00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:44,520 Speaker 2: three days, so shall the son of Man be in 296 00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:48,560 Speaker 2: the heart of the earth for three days. Jonah was 297 00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:52,480 Speaker 2: a picture of Jesus. God knew that he would get 298 00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:56,800 Speaker 2: off course. He had already planned how that would foreshadow 299 00:18:57,160 --> 00:19:02,040 Speaker 2: what Christ would do. What am I saying nothing randomly happens. 300 00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:06,640 Speaker 2: Your mistakes have been taken into account in God's plan 301 00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:09,600 Speaker 2: for your life. And I don't say that so you 302 00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:12,760 Speaker 2: can live loose good. I'm gonna do whatever I want 303 00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:15,800 Speaker 2: to do, Joel said, God's got me covered. No mistakes. 304 00:19:16,400 --> 00:19:19,920 Speaker 2: They cost heartache, They cast pain. Three days in the 305 00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:23,760 Speaker 2: belly of the fish. That sounds exciting now, but that 306 00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:28,040 Speaker 2: was not a cruise liner. It was dark, dirty, smelly, 307 00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:32,200 Speaker 2: seaweed all over his head. When the fish spit Jonah out. 308 00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:36,160 Speaker 2: The first thing God told him was go to Nineveh 309 00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:39,440 Speaker 2: and do what I ask you to do. God didn't 310 00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:43,960 Speaker 2: change his mind, but he gave him another chance. When 311 00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:48,280 Speaker 2: we make mistakes, when we fail, the accuser keeps whispering. 312 00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:52,040 Speaker 2: You're done. God is finished with you. You had your chance. 313 00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:55,359 Speaker 2: You'll never accomplish your dreams. No, get back up, Jonah. 314 00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:59,639 Speaker 2: Your mistake is not a surprise to God. He's already 315 00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:03,640 Speaker 2: DESI you'll come back. He's already laid out your new beginning. 316 00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:07,640 Speaker 2: Why don't you get back in the game, get your fireback, 317 00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:12,119 Speaker 2: get your passion back, Start dreaming again, start believing again. 318 00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:16,960 Speaker 2: That mistake didn't cancel your destiny. God still has a 319 00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:21,760 Speaker 2: purpose for you to fulfill. When God told Abraham that 320 00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:24,159 Speaker 2: he and his wife Sarah were going to have a 321 00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:29,040 Speaker 2: baby in their old age, years went by and nothing happened. 322 00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:33,280 Speaker 2: So Abraham decided to help God out, and he slept 323 00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:37,119 Speaker 2: with Sarah's maid. They had a son, a boy they 324 00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:41,280 Speaker 2: named Ishmael. They were so excited they finally had their baby. 325 00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:44,960 Speaker 2: God said, that is not the promised child. That's the 326 00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:49,160 Speaker 2: arm of the flesh. That's something you made happen. Ishmael, 327 00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:53,399 Speaker 2: in one sense, was considered a mistake. He was the 328 00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:57,840 Speaker 2: child that Abraham had out of wedlock. Now Abraham is 329 00:20:57,920 --> 00:21:00,800 Speaker 2: the father of our faith. You would think he would 330 00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:04,080 Speaker 2: know better. Surely this wouldn't be in the plan of God. 331 00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:09,760 Speaker 2: Four generations later, when Joseph's brothers threw him into a pit, 332 00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:12,840 Speaker 2: they were going to leave him there to die, but 333 00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:16,760 Speaker 2: they looked up and saw a caravan of Ishmaelites coming. 334 00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:21,760 Speaker 2: They decided instead to sell Joseph to them. The Ishmaelites 335 00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:26,840 Speaker 2: were descendants of Ishmael. What once was considered a mistake 336 00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:31,359 Speaker 2: was actually a part of God's plan to save Joseph's life. 337 00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:36,080 Speaker 2: Only God, in his amazing wisdom, can take what was 338 00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:39,760 Speaker 2: a mistake in one generation and use it to be 339 00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:46,560 Speaker 2: a blessing in another generation. Nothing friendomly happens. Even your 340 00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:51,320 Speaker 2: mistakes are a setup. Why don't you quit beating yourself 341 00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:55,560 Speaker 2: up for past failures. Quit living in regrets. Nothing you've 342 00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:58,680 Speaker 2: done is too much for the mercy of God. Let 343 00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:02,000 Speaker 2: that go. Start moving forward into the new things God 344 00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:06,360 Speaker 2: has in store. A few years ago, Victoria lost her ring. 345 00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:10,120 Speaker 2: It was a diamond band that her mother had given her, 346 00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:14,360 Speaker 2: been in their family for several generations. Sometimes when we'd 347 00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:17,280 Speaker 2: go on a trip, Victoria would hide it in the house. 348 00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:22,320 Speaker 2: So for months we searched everywhere, every drawer, every cabinet, 349 00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:26,480 Speaker 2: every pocket. That ring was nowhere to be found. About 350 00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:29,560 Speaker 2: three years later, we were driving home late one night 351 00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:32,720 Speaker 2: from out of town. It was after midnight and I 352 00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:36,199 Speaker 2: was tired and ready to get home. Victoria said, Joe, 353 00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:38,720 Speaker 2: you better slow down. You're going to get a ticket. 354 00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:42,359 Speaker 2: I was going about seventy five and the speed limit 355 00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:47,520 Speaker 2: was sixty five maybe fifty five, but there was nobody 356 00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:51,960 Speaker 2: on the highway, wide open well in the country. All 357 00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:54,240 Speaker 2: of a sudden, in my rearview mirror, I saw those 358 00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:57,960 Speaker 2: flashing red lights. The officer came up to my window 359 00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:00,920 Speaker 2: and I handed him my driver's license. He said, I'll 360 00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:04,359 Speaker 2: need your insurance card as well. Victoria opened the glove 361 00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:10,119 Speaker 2: compartment and started looking. She found every document except our insurance. 362 00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:13,840 Speaker 2: She ended up pulling everything out of the glove compartment, 363 00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:17,360 Speaker 2: digging around in the back, maneuvering her hand here and there, 364 00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:20,560 Speaker 2: and it's dark, you couldn't see anything. Plus having the 365 00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:25,440 Speaker 2: officer standing right there was nerve wracking. At one point, Victoria, 366 00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:28,680 Speaker 2: digging way back there, found something hard down in the crack. 367 00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:31,639 Speaker 2: She kept digging and digging, pulled it out. It was 368 00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:33,800 Speaker 2: the ring she had been looking for for three and 369 00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:38,240 Speaker 2: a half years. She was so excited, so happy. She 370 00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:40,920 Speaker 2: is over there rejoicing. Here I was about to go 371 00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:47,200 Speaker 2: to jail. She ended up finding the insurance card right 372 00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:50,520 Speaker 2: on the top. It was like God caused her to 373 00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:54,359 Speaker 2: overlook it. I handed it to the officer. He said, 374 00:23:54,359 --> 00:23:57,840 Speaker 2: are you that minister? I said, I am. He said, 375 00:23:57,880 --> 00:23:59,720 Speaker 2: if I come to your church, will you save me 376 00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:04,720 Speaker 2: as I said, I'll save you a whole section. He 377 00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:09,040 Speaker 2: handed it back, said have a great knight. Sometimes what 378 00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:12,719 Speaker 2: we think is a setback is really God setting us 379 00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:19,040 Speaker 2: up to do something amazing. Even mistakes we may God 380 00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:21,640 Speaker 2: knows how to turn them and use them for our good. 381 00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:25,920 Speaker 2: A few days before Jesus was crucified, he was in 382 00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:30,040 Speaker 2: the garden of Gasimine late one night praying. He was 383 00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:32,600 Speaker 2: so overwhelmed with the weight of what he was about 384 00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:35,679 Speaker 2: to do, and under so much pressure that he swept 385 00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:39,040 Speaker 2: great drops of blood. He said, Father, if you're willing 386 00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:42,959 Speaker 2: take this cup from me, but not my will. Let 387 00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:46,960 Speaker 2: your will be done. We celebrate what Christ did on 388 00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:50,359 Speaker 2: the cross, that's the foundation of our faith, but the 389 00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:54,400 Speaker 2: real battle took place in the garden. This is where 390 00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:58,440 Speaker 2: he made the decision, even though it's not fair, even 391 00:24:58,480 --> 00:25:01,600 Speaker 2: though Judas is about to betray, even though these people 392 00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:05,680 Speaker 2: have mocked and ridiculed me, Father, I trust you. I 393 00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:09,280 Speaker 2: know it's all a part of your playing. We all 394 00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:13,080 Speaker 2: have these times when life isn't fair, somebody's come against you, 395 00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:17,440 Speaker 2: you're fighting an illness, business has slowed down. This is 396 00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:19,840 Speaker 2: where you have to do like him and say, God, 397 00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:23,399 Speaker 2: I don't understand it, but I trust you. I know 398 00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:26,560 Speaker 2: you're in control. You wouldn't have allowed it if it 399 00:25:26,680 --> 00:25:30,520 Speaker 2: wasn't going to work for my good. Don't get discouraged 400 00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:33,479 Speaker 2: when life doesn't make sense. God is up to something. 401 00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:37,560 Speaker 2: They crucified Jesus, put him in the grave. They thought 402 00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:40,000 Speaker 2: he was done, but you know the story. On the 403 00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:43,920 Speaker 2: third day, Jesus came out said I am alive forevermore. 404 00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:48,960 Speaker 2: God has the final say. What looks like a setback 405 00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:52,440 Speaker 2: is really setting you up for the next level of 406 00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:57,199 Speaker 2: your destiny. Jesus told his disciples take up your cross 407 00:25:57,520 --> 00:26:01,280 Speaker 2: and follow me. Sometimes we hear and think that's going 408 00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:04,960 Speaker 2: to be a heavy burden. People told me growing up, Joel, 409 00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:08,520 Speaker 2: that's a hard thing to carry your cross. One day, 410 00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:11,399 Speaker 2: my father had a dream. He was going through a 411 00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:14,640 Speaker 2: difficult time in life. In this dream, he looked over 412 00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:17,960 Speaker 2: and saw a large cross on the ground. It was 413 00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:21,240 Speaker 2: made out of railroad ties, about fifteen feet long. It 414 00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:24,720 Speaker 2: looked like it weighed hundreds of pounds. He knew that 415 00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:27,719 Speaker 2: was his cross to carry, but he didn't know how 416 00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:31,400 Speaker 2: he could do it. It seemed overwhelming. He walked over 417 00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:34,040 Speaker 2: to pick it up, but it wasn't what he thought. 418 00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:39,640 Speaker 2: When he lifted it, it was like styrofoam, hardly weighed anything. 419 00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:42,440 Speaker 2: He was so amazed he could easily put it on 420 00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:46,639 Speaker 2: his shoulder and start walking. A few steps later, the 421 00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:51,800 Speaker 2: cross started lifting him up. Instead of him carrying the cross, 422 00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:56,280 Speaker 2: the cross was carrying him. When you take up your cross, 423 00:26:56,640 --> 00:27:00,440 Speaker 2: it doesn't mean you're not going to have difficulties. People 424 00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:04,000 Speaker 2: won't betray you, you'll never make mistakes. Life will happen. 425 00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:08,240 Speaker 2: But the beauty is when you should be overwhelmed, the 426 00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:12,320 Speaker 2: cross will start carrying you. God will give you joy 427 00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:15,680 Speaker 2: and peace and strength that will lift you, help you 428 00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:19,240 Speaker 2: make it through things that should have stopped you. We 429 00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:21,800 Speaker 2: can all look back and see times where if it 430 00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:24,560 Speaker 2: wasn't for the goodness of God, we wouldn't have made it. 431 00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:28,240 Speaker 2: What is that the cross carrying you? It looked like 432 00:27:28,320 --> 00:27:30,479 Speaker 2: it is going to be heavy, but it was a setup. 433 00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:34,480 Speaker 2: His yoke is easy, His burden is life. Why don't 434 00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:37,600 Speaker 2: you come back to that place of peace. Nothing in 435 00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:42,600 Speaker 2: your life has randomly happened. God has ordered your steps. 436 00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:47,440 Speaker 2: You may not understand it, but your life is divinely orchestrated. 437 00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:51,639 Speaker 2: What God has purpose for you will come to pass now. 438 00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:54,960 Speaker 2: I believe and declare every force that's trying to stop 439 00:27:55,080 --> 00:27:58,760 Speaker 2: you is being broken. God is about to turn things 440 00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:02,040 Speaker 2: in your favor. It looks like a setback, but it's 441 00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:05,919 Speaker 2: setting you up for new levels for promotion, for healing, 442 00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:10,600 Speaker 2: for breakthroughs, for the fullness of your destiny. In Jesus's name, 443 00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:13,240 Speaker 2: and if you receive it, can you say amen? 444 00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:13,639 Speaker 3: Today? 445 00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:18,320 Speaker 2: I'd like to give you an opportunity to make Jesus 446 00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:20,920 Speaker 2: the lord of your life. Would you pray with me? 447 00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:27,400 Speaker 2: Just say, Lord, Jesus, I repent of my sins. Come 448 00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:31,320 Speaker 2: into my heart. I make you my Lord and Savior. 449 00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:35,360 Speaker 2: If you prayed that simple prayer, we believe you got 450 00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:38,600 Speaker 2: born again.
