She was on the airplane reading her Bible. 38 00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:58,160 Speaker 5: The man next to her said, you don't believe all 39 00:01:58,160 --> 00:01:59,000 Speaker 5: that stuff in there? 40 00:01:59,040 --> 00:01:59,320 Speaker 6: Do you? 41 00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:02,880 Speaker 5: He said, certainly, I do. It's the Bible. He said, 42 00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:05,360 Speaker 5: what about that guy that got swallowed by a Well, 43 00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:08,519 Speaker 5: she said, oh you mean Jonah. Yeah, I believe that too. 44 00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:11,920 Speaker 5: He said, well, how could he possibly live that long 45 00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:15,239 Speaker 5: inside of a well. She thought about it a moment, said, 46 00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:17,280 Speaker 5: I don't know. When I get to heaven, I'll have 47 00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:20,720 Speaker 5: to ask him. He said, sarcastically. What if he's not 48 00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:24,520 Speaker 5: in heaven, She said, then you'll have to ask him. 49 00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:27,960 Speaker 5: Say it like you mean it. This is my Bible. 50 00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:30,720 Speaker 5: I am what it says I am. I have what 51 00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:33,200 Speaker 5: it says I have. I can do what it says 52 00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:36,000 Speaker 5: I can do. Today I will be taught the word 53 00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:40,080 Speaker 5: of God. I boldly confess. My mind is alert, my 54 00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:44,560 Speaker 5: heart is recepted. I will never be the same. In Jesus' name, 55 00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:47,919 Speaker 5: God bless you. I want to talk to you today 56 00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:52,200 Speaker 5: about just one good break. Sometimes we don't see how 57 00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:55,520 Speaker 5: we can accomplish our dreams. We don't have the connections, 58 00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:59,359 Speaker 5: the resources, the experience. I talked to a young man 59 00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:02,360 Speaker 5: that wanted to go to college, but his scholarship didn't 60 00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:05,320 Speaker 5: go through. He comes from a single parent home and 61 00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:08,799 Speaker 5: he doesn't have the funds. The odds are against him. 62 00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:12,480 Speaker 5: It's easy to get discouraged and think I'll never get well. 63 00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:15,880 Speaker 5: Look at the medical report. I'll never break this addiction. 64 00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:18,680 Speaker 5: I've had it for years. I can't get out of debt. 65 00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:21,800 Speaker 5: I've gone as far as I can. It may look 66 00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:25,080 Speaker 5: like it's not going to happen, but what you can't 67 00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:29,920 Speaker 5: see is you're just one good breakaway, just meeting one 68 00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:34,600 Speaker 5: right person, just one phone call, one contract, one healing, 69 00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:40,680 Speaker 5: and what seemed impossible will suddenly become possible. You don't 70 00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:44,360 Speaker 5: need one hundred things to go right. Just one touch 71 00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:48,000 Speaker 5: of God's favor and doors will open that you couldn't open. 72 00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:52,640 Speaker 5: Just one person being for you will catapult you ahead. 73 00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:57,360 Speaker 5: Just one breakthrough and suddenly you get well. Suddenly you're 74 00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:01,200 Speaker 5: free from the addiction. Suddenly the depression is gone. And 75 00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:04,720 Speaker 5: you may have situations that don't look like they'll ever change, 76 00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:09,880 Speaker 5: but stay encouraged. God has already arranged good breaks for you, 77 00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:13,760 Speaker 5: things that you couldn't make happen. You weren't next in line, 78 00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:17,080 Speaker 5: you didn't have the experience, but out of nowhere the 79 00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:21,120 Speaker 5: contract came to you. He's already lined up the right 80 00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:25,280 Speaker 5: people to help you. You didn't ask them, you didn't 81 00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:28,320 Speaker 5: have to try to win them over for no reason. 82 00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:30,920 Speaker 5: They will go out of their way to be good 83 00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:34,680 Speaker 5: to you. They'd been ordained by God to move you 84 00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:38,240 Speaker 5: into your destiny. You don't have to worry about how 85 00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:41,799 Speaker 5: it's going to work out. God can cause one person 86 00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:45,400 Speaker 5: to like you, one person to say promote them, give 87 00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:48,560 Speaker 5: them the position, and suddenly you'll go to a new level. 88 00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:52,400 Speaker 5: And instead of thinking it's a long way off, I 89 00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:55,640 Speaker 5: don't see how it can ever happen, turn it around. Father. 90 00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:59,240 Speaker 5: Thank you that I'm just one good breakaway. Thank you 91 00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:01,880 Speaker 5: that one to much of your goodness and things will 92 00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:04,840 Speaker 5: change in my favor. Do you know how we got 93 00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:08,200 Speaker 5: the Compact Center? Just one phone call? That's how it 94 00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:12,279 Speaker 5: all started. We were trying to build a new auditorium, 95 00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:15,640 Speaker 5: but twice the property we found was sold out from 96 00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:19,920 Speaker 5: under us. I was disappointed we couldn't find any more land. 97 00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:24,200 Speaker 5: But when something doesn't work out your way, it's because 98 00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:27,919 Speaker 5: God has something better in store. You may not be 99 00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,479 Speaker 5: able to see it at the time, but that's when 100 00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:33,880 Speaker 5: you have to trust him. One afternoon, I was at 101 00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:38,240 Speaker 5: the office minding my own business. A friend called that 102 00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:41,640 Speaker 5: I hadn't spoken to in a couple of years. He said, Joel, 103 00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:43,920 Speaker 5: I have an idea for yet. Let's go to lunch. 104 00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:47,640 Speaker 5: The next day. At lunch, he told how the Rockets 105 00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:51,680 Speaker 5: basketball team was moving out of the Compact Center and 106 00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:55,239 Speaker 5: how Lakewood should try to purchase it. When I heard 107 00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:59,080 Speaker 5: that something came alive on the inside, I knew we 108 00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:02,240 Speaker 5: were supposed to pursue to it. Well, the city owned 109 00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:05,560 Speaker 5: this building. So when I got back from lunch, I 110 00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:08,400 Speaker 5: called the mayor. He was a friend of our family. 111 00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:11,839 Speaker 5: I told him that we were interested. He said, Joel, 112 00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:15,480 Speaker 5: I think Lakewood having the Compact Center would be great 113 00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:19,320 Speaker 5: for the city of Houston. God knows how to have 114 00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:24,040 Speaker 5: the right people before you. Those two owners that sold 115 00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:27,680 Speaker 5: the property out from under us, I didn't like it. 116 00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:31,799 Speaker 5: It didn't seem fair. The truth is, it wasn't their choice. 117 00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:35,159 Speaker 5: It was the hand of God. They weren't supposed to 118 00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:38,599 Speaker 5: be for us. If they would have done what I wanted, 119 00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:42,280 Speaker 5: we would have missed out on the Compact Center. When 120 00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:46,520 Speaker 5: somebody is not for you, don't get bent out of shape. 121 00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:50,360 Speaker 5: God has the right people already lined up that will 122 00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:53,599 Speaker 5: want to help you. People that are ordained to open 123 00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:56,719 Speaker 5: doors that you couldn't open. People that will use their 124 00:06:56,760 --> 00:07:01,200 Speaker 5: influence to thrust you ahead. There are some people that 125 00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:04,279 Speaker 5: didn't want us to have the Compact Center, Critics that 126 00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:08,240 Speaker 5: said it wasn't a good fit. They brought opposition and 127 00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:11,679 Speaker 5: tried to stop us, But the mayor was in charge 128 00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:15,560 Speaker 5: of the city. He set the agenda. Him being for 129 00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:19,000 Speaker 5: us is what kept all the opposition from stopping us. 130 00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:22,360 Speaker 5: Every time they tried to keep it from happening, he 131 00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:26,200 Speaker 5: would adjust something in our favor and we'd keep moving forward. 132 00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:31,200 Speaker 5: I've learned you don't need everyone to be for you, You 133 00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:34,440 Speaker 5: just need the right people to be for you. It 134 00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:37,480 Speaker 5: just so happened the man that liked us, he was 135 00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:41,160 Speaker 5: in charge, He ran the city. God is going to 136 00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:44,160 Speaker 5: cause people to be for you that are in a 137 00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:49,000 Speaker 5: position of authority, people that can override your critics, people 138 00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:52,760 Speaker 5: that will cause things to fall into place. When we 139 00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:57,640 Speaker 5: moved into this facility, it catapulted us ahead, not just 140 00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:02,320 Speaker 5: in the number of people attending, but in influence, in credibility. 141 00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:06,120 Speaker 5: It put us fifty years down the road. People didn't 142 00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:09,680 Speaker 5: look at us the same way. Growing up, Lakewood was 143 00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:12,960 Speaker 5: on the other side of town, where it was more industrial, 144 00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:15,760 Speaker 5: and over the years it had become more run down. 145 00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:21,080 Speaker 5: For years, Lakewood was in metal buildings with metal folding chairs, 146 00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:25,240 Speaker 5: a gravel parking lot. We had portable wood buildings for 147 00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:28,960 Speaker 5: our nurseries and kids' facilities. We were seen by some 148 00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:32,920 Speaker 5: people as second class. They can't afford much, they're at 149 00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:36,760 Speaker 5: a disadvantage. But when we moved into this place, it 150 00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:40,280 Speaker 5: was like coming out of the wilderness into the promised land. 151 00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:44,200 Speaker 5: This building is on one of the busiest freeways in 152 00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:47,720 Speaker 5: the nation, one of the nicest areas of town. The 153 00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:51,640 Speaker 5: Rockets had won two World championships here and now it's Lakewood. 154 00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:55,600 Speaker 5: That one good break caused people to see us in 155 00:08:55,679 --> 00:09:00,200 Speaker 5: a totally different light, with a whole new respect. May 156 00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:03,720 Speaker 5: feel like you're falling behind. You could never accomplish what 157 00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:06,479 Speaker 5: God put in your heart. You're still in the metal buildings. 158 00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:10,120 Speaker 5: Other people discount you, don't give your credit. Don't worry. 159 00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:13,760 Speaker 5: God knows how to make up for lost time. Just 160 00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:17,640 Speaker 5: one touch of his favor will catapult you years ahead. 161 00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:22,160 Speaker 5: Just one person opening a door, just one phone call 162 00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:24,520 Speaker 5: out of the blue, and you look up and you're 163 00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:27,920 Speaker 5: fifty years down the road. You're not in the portable building, 164 00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:31,240 Speaker 5: you're in the compact center. You're not in the Rundown area. 165 00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:34,840 Speaker 5: You're on the main freeway. People don't discount you anymore. 166 00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:37,880 Speaker 5: Now they look up to you. God is going to 167 00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:41,040 Speaker 5: cause you to be seen in a new light. He's 168 00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:45,200 Speaker 5: going to give you respect, credibility, influence. That's going to 169 00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:47,960 Speaker 5: make up for the time it looks like you've lost. 170 00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:52,480 Speaker 5: But those years where you were not being noticed, not 171 00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:56,600 Speaker 5: seeing good breaks, not having much influence, those were proving 172 00:09:56,720 --> 00:10:00,199 Speaker 5: years where you were showing God you could be trust 173 00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:03,199 Speaker 5: where you did the right thing when the wrong thing 174 00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:06,360 Speaker 5: was happening. Where you were being your best, when you 175 00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:09,240 Speaker 5: weren't seeing growth, where you were going to work with 176 00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:12,800 Speaker 5: a good attitude even though nobody was giving you credit. 177 00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:18,640 Speaker 5: Those were important years. Without you being faithful and showing 178 00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:22,040 Speaker 5: God that you could be trusted, you wouldn't be ready 179 00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:24,880 Speaker 5: for what God has in store. You have to be 180 00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:29,559 Speaker 5: prepared for where God is taking you. You're not falling behind. 181 00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:33,520 Speaker 5: You're in training. If it's taken longer than you thought, 182 00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:37,840 Speaker 5: it's because God has something big in your future. Don't 183 00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:41,400 Speaker 5: slack off, don't get tired of doing the right thing. 184 00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:46,080 Speaker 5: If you'll keep passing the test. The scripture says your 185 00:10:46,160 --> 00:10:49,920 Speaker 5: due season is coming. That means God's not only going 186 00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:52,600 Speaker 5: to bring you out, He's going to thrust you ahead. 187 00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:57,160 Speaker 5: You're going to come out promoted, increased further than you've 188 00:10:57,160 --> 00:11:01,240 Speaker 5: ever imagined. As a teenager, David was out in the 189 00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:05,600 Speaker 5: shepherd's fields taking care of his father's sheep. It was boring. 190 00:11:06,240 --> 00:11:09,080 Speaker 5: David had big dreams in his heart. He knew he 191 00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:11,840 Speaker 5: was going to leave his mark. But year after year, 192 00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:15,160 Speaker 5: all he did was feed the sheep, clean up their waist, 193 00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:20,080 Speaker 5: make sure that they were protected. It was dirty, smelly, lonely. 194 00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:24,440 Speaker 5: Nobody thanked him. Nobody knew that he killed a lion 195 00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:28,000 Speaker 5: and a bear to protect those animals. He could have 196 00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:32,120 Speaker 5: slacked off, had a bad attitude. God, it's not fair, 197 00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:37,000 Speaker 5: I'm wasting time out here. Instead, he kept passing the test, 198 00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:41,480 Speaker 5: doing the right thing when nothing was changing. One day, 199 00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:45,360 Speaker 5: the prophet Samuel came to his house to anoint the 200 00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:49,360 Speaker 5: next king of Israel. He looked at David's seven brothers, 201 00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:54,080 Speaker 5: who were older, had more experience, more training. Some of 202 00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:57,600 Speaker 5: them were in the military, big, strong, muscular, They looked 203 00:11:57,640 --> 00:12:02,360 Speaker 5: like a king. Samuel passed by them and eventually came 204 00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:08,000 Speaker 5: to David, the forgotten one, the one that had been overlooked, discounted, 205 00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:11,200 Speaker 5: seen as less than. Samuel said, this is the next 206 00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:15,800 Speaker 5: king of Israel. I'm sure his brothers, his parents nearly 207 00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:19,880 Speaker 5: passed out you mean David, the shepherd, the youngest, the smallest. 208 00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:24,040 Speaker 5: Are you sure? God doesn't choose the way people choose. 209 00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:27,720 Speaker 5: People look on the outside, God looks on the heart. 210 00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:33,160 Speaker 5: God found a man in David, he could trust, a 211 00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:36,760 Speaker 5: man that had proven he'd be faithful when things weren't 212 00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:40,080 Speaker 5: going his way. God knew if he could trust him 213 00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:42,960 Speaker 5: to take care of sheep, he could trust him to 214 00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:47,959 Speaker 5: take care of his people. When God promoted David, brought 215 00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:51,160 Speaker 5: him out, He made up for all the years it 216 00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:54,200 Speaker 5: looked like he was losing out in the shepherd's fields. 217 00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:56,920 Speaker 5: He went from being a shepherd to being a king. 218 00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:02,240 Speaker 5: Nobody voted for him. This this wasn't a democracy. If 219 00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:05,600 Speaker 5: it was, he wouldn't have received one vote. He wasn't 220 00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:08,640 Speaker 5: on the radar. Nobody in Israel knew who he was. 221 00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:12,200 Speaker 5: His father didn't believe in him, his brothers tried to 222 00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:16,000 Speaker 5: belittle him. But when God is ready to promote you, 223 00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:19,320 Speaker 5: he doesn't take a vote. He doesn't check to see 224 00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:23,000 Speaker 5: who likes you, who's for you, how popular you are. 225 00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:26,800 Speaker 5: It's not a vote, it's an appointment. It's up to 226 00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:30,760 Speaker 5: one person. Not your boss, not your neighbors, not your critics, 227 00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:34,800 Speaker 5: not your relatives. Promotion doesn't come from people. It comes 228 00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:38,359 Speaker 5: from the Lord. When it's your time to be promoted, 229 00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:42,600 Speaker 5: no person can stop you, no bad break, no disappointment, 230 00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:46,600 Speaker 5: no enemy. God has the one and only vote. He 231 00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:50,680 Speaker 5: has the final say. Now, quit worrying about who's not 232 00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:54,600 Speaker 5: for you. Why won't these people give me credit, Joel, 233 00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:57,840 Speaker 5: I'd be further along if my coworkers would quit leaving 234 00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:02,080 Speaker 5: me out. Can I tell you coworkers can't hold you back. 235 00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:07,200 Speaker 5: Other people cannot keep you from your destiny. They didn't 236 00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:10,040 Speaker 5: know you before you were formed in your mother's womb. 237 00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:13,200 Speaker 5: They didn't lay out the plan for your life. They 238 00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:16,160 Speaker 5: didn't crown you with favor. They didn't put seeds of 239 00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:20,440 Speaker 5: greatness on the inside. Quit focusing on who's not for you, 240 00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:24,440 Speaker 5: and start focusing on who is for you. The most 241 00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:28,280 Speaker 5: High God, the creator of the universe, the one who 242 00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:33,320 Speaker 5: spoke worlds into existence, is breathing in your direction. He 243 00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:36,200 Speaker 5: has you in the palm of his hand. His plans 244 00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:39,120 Speaker 5: for you are for good. Him being for you is 245 00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:43,040 Speaker 5: more than the world being against you. David's life was 246 00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:46,560 Speaker 5: set on a new course by just one person when 247 00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:49,880 Speaker 5: Samuel came to his house and anointed him king. His 248 00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:54,160 Speaker 5: whole world changed. And what's interesting is David didn't have 249 00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:58,600 Speaker 5: to go after Samuel. Samuel came after David. You don't 250 00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:02,040 Speaker 5: have to go after the blessing. Keep honoring God, and 251 00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:05,000 Speaker 5: the blessing will come to you. The phone call will 252 00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:07,800 Speaker 5: come to you, the compact center will come to you. 253 00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:11,840 Speaker 5: The right person, the healing, the promotion will find you. 254 00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:16,040 Speaker 5: We spend too much time trying to make things happen. 255 00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:20,360 Speaker 5: Then we get frustrated because it's taking so long. But 256 00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:24,200 Speaker 5: you can't make things happen out of God's timing. You 257 00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:27,080 Speaker 5: can't make people like you who are not supposed to 258 00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:30,920 Speaker 5: like you. You can't open a door that God has closed. 259 00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:35,040 Speaker 5: I tried to buy the property to build the sanctuary. 260 00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:39,360 Speaker 5: I did my best. I was nice to those two owners. 261 00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:43,440 Speaker 5: I smiled my biggest smile. I thanked them in advance 262 00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:46,320 Speaker 5: for selling it to us. No matter how charming I 263 00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:49,840 Speaker 5: was or how much money we offered, that door wasn't 264 00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:54,080 Speaker 5: going to open. Stay in peace knowing that God will 265 00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:57,760 Speaker 5: cause the right people to find you. The right breaks 266 00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:01,360 Speaker 5: will track you down, the right oportunities will come knocking 267 00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:05,080 Speaker 5: at your door. When it's your time, Samuel will show up. 268 00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:10,200 Speaker 5: David's father tried to convince Samuel to anoint one of 269 00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:13,840 Speaker 5: his other seven sons. He thought David was too small, 270 00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:17,880 Speaker 5: too young, too inexperienced. But no matter how hard he tried, 271 00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:22,000 Speaker 5: Samuel wouldn't do it. God was showing us, what has 272 00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:25,880 Speaker 5: your name on it won't go to anyone else. Quit 273 00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:29,560 Speaker 5: being upset because that coworker got the promotion that you 274 00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:32,640 Speaker 5: really wanted. If it was supposed to be yours, you 275 00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:36,160 Speaker 5: would have gotten it. Or that friend married that man 276 00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:39,000 Speaker 5: that you really liked. That doesn't seem fair. Now we're 277 00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:42,400 Speaker 5: getting real. That doesn't seem fair. If you were supposed 278 00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:45,240 Speaker 5: to marry him, then she wouldn't have. That means that 279 00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:50,000 Speaker 5: God has somebody better for you. I've learned you don't 280 00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:53,440 Speaker 5: want what's not supposed to be yours. There's no grace 281 00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:57,160 Speaker 5: for it. One time I wanted a business opportunity so 282 00:16:57,320 --> 00:17:00,600 Speaker 5: badly I did everything I could to make it happen. 283 00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:04,560 Speaker 5: Sometimes God will close the door that we can't open. 284 00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:08,560 Speaker 5: But there are times if we're so stubborn and it's 285 00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:11,239 Speaker 5: not going to stop our destiny, God will let us 286 00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:14,879 Speaker 5: have it our way. And we obtained this business, but 287 00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:18,560 Speaker 5: it wasn't what I thought was a constant headache never 288 00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:22,080 Speaker 5: really got off the ground, drained our time, energy resources. 289 00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:25,840 Speaker 5: Now my attitude is God. If it doesn't have my 290 00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:29,120 Speaker 5: name on it, I don't want it. If it's not 291 00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:32,119 Speaker 5: supposed to be yours, you're not going to have a 292 00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:35,520 Speaker 5: grace for it. Don't try to beat the door down. 293 00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:39,520 Speaker 5: Be determined, pursue your dreams, but be smart enough to 294 00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:43,240 Speaker 5: realize what God wants to be yours will come to you. 295 00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:48,080 Speaker 5: It won't be a constant struggle. Yes there'll be opposition. 296 00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:50,640 Speaker 5: Yes you'll have to work hard, you'll have to fight 297 00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:53,199 Speaker 5: the good fight of faith. But there will be a 298 00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:58,080 Speaker 5: grace that causes things to fall into place. The Psalmist said, 299 00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:02,520 Speaker 5: God will work out his plan for your life. You 300 00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:05,440 Speaker 5: don't have to work it out. You don't have to struggle, 301 00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:10,280 Speaker 5: live worried, try to fix every problem, straighten out every enemy, 302 00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:14,440 Speaker 5: make everything happen in your own strength. You can live 303 00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:17,680 Speaker 5: from a place of rest knowing that God is not 304 00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:21,520 Speaker 5: only fighting your battles, but he's lined up the breaks 305 00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:24,920 Speaker 5: you need. He has the right people that will help you. 306 00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:29,399 Speaker 5: He has solutions to problems that you can't see right now. 307 00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:32,920 Speaker 5: He's already figured out how to solve it. Don't waste 308 00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:36,200 Speaker 5: your time worrying. He's on the throne. He can see 309 00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:39,800 Speaker 5: things you can't see. He's promised he will work out 310 00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:43,440 Speaker 5: his plan for your life. I received a letter from 311 00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:47,199 Speaker 5: a young lady that lives in Africa. Her dream was 312 00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:49,879 Speaker 5: to get her doctorate degree so she could become a 313 00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:54,720 Speaker 5: college professor. She finished her master's degree and was preparing 314 00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:58,520 Speaker 5: for the final exams to get into the doctorate program 315 00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:01,800 Speaker 5: when her landlord told her she had to move out 316 00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:04,639 Speaker 5: of the apartment where she was living. He broke the 317 00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:07,240 Speaker 5: lease in just a couple of days. She had to 318 00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:10,960 Speaker 5: leave that place and move into the dorm. This all 319 00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:15,000 Speaker 5: happened in the middle of final exams. Through her often 320 00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:18,240 Speaker 5: she couldn't study like she had hoped. She ended up 321 00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:21,600 Speaker 5: being turned down by the main university where she wanted 322 00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:25,600 Speaker 5: to attend. She was not only disappointed in herself, she 323 00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:29,400 Speaker 5: was angry at the landlord for making her leave, especially 324 00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:32,239 Speaker 5: at that time she was about to meet with an 325 00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:36,600 Speaker 5: attorney and take legal action against him. She always watches 326 00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:40,400 Speaker 5: our podcast. My message that week happened to be called 327 00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:44,440 Speaker 5: You Have a Defender. I talked about how we all 328 00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:48,159 Speaker 5: have unfair things happen, but God wouldn't have allowed it 329 00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:51,440 Speaker 5: if he wasn't going to somehow use it for your good. 330 00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:54,479 Speaker 5: And how God can vindicate us better than we can 331 00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:58,120 Speaker 5: vindicate ourselves. She knew that was God speaking to her. 332 00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:03,240 Speaker 5: She let it go. After being turned down by sixteen universities, 333 00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:08,520 Speaker 5: she applied to a very prestigious university in Italy. They 334 00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:11,679 Speaker 5: really liked her, but they had twelve people on the 335 00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:15,119 Speaker 5: waiting list in front of her. They told her, unfortunately, 336 00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:19,600 Speaker 5: she wouldn't be accepted. Two weeks later, they emailed back 337 00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:23,120 Speaker 5: and said, we've never done this before, but we've changed 338 00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:26,520 Speaker 5: our mind and opened up a position just for you. 339 00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:32,800 Speaker 5: When she arrived, they informed her, out of hundreds of 340 00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:36,760 Speaker 5: doctorate students, she was one of the six chosen to 341 00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:40,240 Speaker 5: be in the Advanced Studies program. That meant she would 342 00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:43,840 Speaker 5: not only receive a full scholarship, but she wouldn't have 343 00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:46,320 Speaker 5: to live in the dorm. She would have her own 344 00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:51,119 Speaker 5: executive apartment in a beautiful neighborhood close to the university. 345 00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:54,879 Speaker 5: Her mind went back to the man breaking the lease 346 00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:58,359 Speaker 5: making her leave her apartment. How she thought that was 347 00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:01,720 Speaker 5: setting her back, when in fact it was setting her up. 348 00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:06,080 Speaker 5: God knows how to work out his plan for your life. 349 00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:09,359 Speaker 5: It may not seem like it's going to happen, but 350 00:21:09,480 --> 00:21:13,800 Speaker 5: you're just one good breakaway, Just one university saying we've 351 00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:17,520 Speaker 5: changed our mind, Just one Samuel showing up, Just one 352 00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:20,760 Speaker 5: phone call saying hey, the compact center is available. You'll 353 00:21:20,800 --> 00:21:24,160 Speaker 5: look back and say like her, Wow, God, you've amazed 354 00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:28,240 Speaker 5: me with your goodness. David said, I have pitched my 355 00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:32,760 Speaker 5: tent in the land of hope. My question is where 356 00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:35,480 Speaker 5: have you pitched your tent? Well, Joel, I've had a 357 00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:39,040 Speaker 5: lot of disappointments. I'll never get well. I can't accomplish 358 00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:42,439 Speaker 5: my dreams. It's been too long. The problem is not 359 00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:45,800 Speaker 5: that God can't do it. The problem is where you 360 00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:49,040 Speaker 5: pitched your tent. As long as you're thinking of all 361 00:21:49,080 --> 00:21:52,360 Speaker 5: the reasons why it's not going to happen, how impossible 362 00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:55,439 Speaker 5: it is, that's going to limit you. Why don't you 363 00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:58,840 Speaker 5: do yourself a favor, pull up your stakes, pick up 364 00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:03,800 Speaker 5: your tent. Move of the land of doubt, negativity, self pity, 365 00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:06,720 Speaker 5: move out of the land of it can't happen. I'm 366 00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:09,520 Speaker 5: too old, I never get any good breaks. That's the 367 00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:13,280 Speaker 5: wrong neighborhood. Get out of that place and pitch your tent. 368 00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:16,360 Speaker 5: In the land of With God, all things are possible. 369 00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:19,880 Speaker 5: The land of goodness and mercy are chasing me down, 370 00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:24,280 Speaker 5: the land of what was meant for my harm, God 371 00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:27,720 Speaker 5: is turning to my advantage. You are just one good 372 00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:32,000 Speaker 5: breakaway from God catapulting you to a new level. Just 373 00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:35,600 Speaker 5: one right person showing you favor will change the course 374 00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:38,800 Speaker 5: of your life. Just one touch of God's goodness and 375 00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:42,000 Speaker 5: you'll beat the cancer, You'll break the addiction, you'll see 376 00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:46,199 Speaker 5: your family restored. In Acts chapter three, there was a 377 00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:50,000 Speaker 5: man that had been crippled since birth. Every day his 378 00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:53,040 Speaker 5: family would carry him to the temple and set him 379 00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:56,160 Speaker 5: beside the gate so he could beg He'd been doing 380 00:22:56,200 --> 00:23:00,200 Speaker 5: this for years. One day, Peter and John came walking by. 381 00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:03,920 Speaker 5: The man held out his cup wanting something. Peter said, 382 00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:06,840 Speaker 5: I'm sorry, we don't have any money for you, but 383 00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:10,400 Speaker 5: in the name of Jesus, rise and walk. Peter took 384 00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:13,000 Speaker 5: him by the hand, pulled the man up. Instantly he 385 00:23:13,080 --> 00:23:16,760 Speaker 5: was healed. He was so excited he took off running 386 00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:21,040 Speaker 5: through the temple thanking God. Here's my point. When the 387 00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:24,240 Speaker 5: men woke up that morning, he thought it was just 388 00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:28,000 Speaker 5: another ordinary day. He'd go to the temple, sit by 389 00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:31,080 Speaker 5: the gate and beg like he'd done for years. He 390 00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:34,440 Speaker 5: had no idea when he went to bed that night 391 00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:38,119 Speaker 5: he would be able to walk. He didn't realize he 392 00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:41,920 Speaker 5: was just one good break away from having his whole 393 00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:47,359 Speaker 5: life changed, just one person ordained by God to speak healing, 394 00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:50,680 Speaker 5: and he would do something he was told he could 395 00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:54,640 Speaker 5: never do. You may have some big obstacles in your 396 00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:57,399 Speaker 5: path today, things that have held you back for a 397 00:23:57,400 --> 00:24:02,320 Speaker 5: long time. A sickness and a diction, depression, loneliness doesn't 398 00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:06,760 Speaker 5: seem like it'll ever change. You could get comfortable accept it. No, 399 00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:11,080 Speaker 5: get ready. God is about to surprise you. He's already 400 00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:15,120 Speaker 5: spoken to the right people. He's already lined up the healing, 401 00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:19,760 Speaker 5: the freedom, the promotion. It's going to happen suddenly. You 402 00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:23,440 Speaker 5: didn't see it coming. You woke up one morning expecting 403 00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:26,880 Speaker 5: more of the same. You never dreamed when you went 404 00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:31,560 Speaker 5: to bed that night you would be healed, free, promoted, vindicated. 405 00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:35,200 Speaker 5: The good news is it could happen today. It could 406 00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:39,159 Speaker 5: happen this week, this month. Your whole world could change 407 00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:42,480 Speaker 5: for the better. Now do your part. Pitch your tent 408 00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:45,640 Speaker 5: in the land of hope. Give God something to work 409 00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:49,680 Speaker 5: with that's not just being positive that your faith being released. 410 00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:54,080 Speaker 5: When the people saw this man up running celebrating, they 411 00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:56,600 Speaker 5: looked at each other and said, isn't this the guy 412 00:24:56,960 --> 00:24:59,800 Speaker 5: that's been begging by the gate for the last forty years. 413 00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:03,680 Speaker 5: They couldn't believe it. The scripture says they were astonished. 414 00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:07,679 Speaker 5: God has some things in your future that are not 415 00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:11,080 Speaker 5: only going to leave you amazed, but people around you 416 00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:15,199 Speaker 5: are going to be amazed. You were not created to 417 00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:20,639 Speaker 5: live in dysfunction, with addictions, constantly struggling. That may be 418 00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:23,280 Speaker 5: how it's been in the past, but that's not how 419 00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:26,080 Speaker 5: it's going to be in the future. God's about to 420 00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:29,919 Speaker 5: do a new thing. He's going to break bondages that 421 00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:32,680 Speaker 5: have held you back. He's going to free you from 422 00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:36,159 Speaker 5: those addictions. He's going to increase you to where you 423 00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:40,520 Speaker 5: have more than enough that sickness is not permanent. Healing 424 00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:43,800 Speaker 5: is coming, Wholeness is on the way, Victory is in 425 00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:47,280 Speaker 5: your future. I talked to a young man that was 426 00:25:47,320 --> 00:25:51,320 Speaker 5: on dialysis. He was in his early thirties. Three days 427 00:25:51,359 --> 00:25:53,720 Speaker 5: a week, four or five hours a day, he would 428 00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:56,199 Speaker 5: have to go up to the clinic. My father was 429 00:25:56,240 --> 00:25:58,680 Speaker 5: on dialysis the end of his life, and I took 430 00:25:58,760 --> 00:26:01,080 Speaker 5: him up to the clinic a lot you don't see 431 00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:04,399 Speaker 5: many people in their thirties. My heart went out to 432 00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:08,200 Speaker 5: him because that's not an easy thing. He told how 433 00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:11,320 Speaker 5: he had had this problem since childhood. He wasn't a 434 00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:15,080 Speaker 5: candidate for a transplant, had a great attitude, still went 435 00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:17,920 Speaker 5: to work every day, and we prayed that God would 436 00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:21,120 Speaker 5: not only help him fulfill his destiny, but that God 437 00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:24,600 Speaker 5: would make a way where we didn't see. Away saw 438 00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:27,000 Speaker 5: him a couple of years later. He said, Joel, you'll 439 00:26:27,040 --> 00:26:31,040 Speaker 5: never believe what happened. For years, doctors had told him 440 00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:34,640 Speaker 5: that he couldn't have a transplant, but this one doctor 441 00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:38,880 Speaker 5: took a special interest in him, studied his case, said 442 00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:41,160 Speaker 5: I can see why nobody wants to take the risk, 443 00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:44,760 Speaker 5: but this is what I specialize in. One night, at 444 00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:47,680 Speaker 5: one o'clock in the morning, he received a phone call 445 00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:51,280 Speaker 5: from the doctor saying, be at the hospital tomorrow morning 446 00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:54,160 Speaker 5: at six I have a kidney for you. The man 447 00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:57,720 Speaker 5: was beaming with joy. He said, Joel, I'm not on 448 00:26:57,800 --> 00:27:02,119 Speaker 5: dialysis anymore. I have a new kid One touch of 449 00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:06,200 Speaker 5: God's favor and his whole world changed one doctor going 450 00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:08,879 Speaker 5: out of his way to be good to him. What 451 00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:12,160 Speaker 5: you're facing may look like it's never going to change. 452 00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:15,000 Speaker 5: People have told you know the odds are against you. 453 00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:19,320 Speaker 5: Can I tell you you're just one good breakaway, just 454 00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:22,480 Speaker 5: one touch of God's favor, and suddenly you'll get well, 455 00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:25,960 Speaker 5: Suddenly you'll get to kidney, Suddenly you'll be free, Suddenly 456 00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:29,640 Speaker 5: you'll be promoted.

Can you say a man today, 464 00:27:57,760 --> 00:28:00,600 Speaker 5: I'd like to give you an opportunity to make Jesus 465 00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:02,879 Speaker 5: the lord of your life. Would you pray with me? 466 00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:08,960 Speaker 5: Just say, Lord, Jesus, I'll repent of my sins. Come 467 00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:12,520 Speaker 5: into my heart.
