I like to start 42 00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:12,320 Speaker 3: with something funny, and one day Adam was feeling very lonely. 43 00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:15,680 Speaker 3: God said Adam, I'm going to make you a companion. 44 00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:19,680 Speaker 3: It's going to be called a woman. This person will 45 00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:23,399 Speaker 3: cook for you and wash your clothes. She will bear 46 00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:26,040 Speaker 3: you children and never ask you to get up in 47 00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:29,200 Speaker 3: the middle of the night. She will always agree with you, 48 00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:32,239 Speaker 3: and if you have a disagreement, she'll be the first 49 00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:35,960 Speaker 3: to admit she was wrong. Adam said, Wile, God, what 50 00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:39,040 Speaker 3: will a woman like this cost? God said an arm 51 00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:42,400 Speaker 3: and a leg? Adam said, what can I get for 52 00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:46,640 Speaker 3: a rib? And the rest is history? Say it like 53 00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:49,600 Speaker 3: you mean it. This is my Bible. I am what 54 00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:52,240 Speaker 3: it says. I am. I have what it says I have. 55 00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:55,320 Speaker 3: I can do what it says I can do. Today 56 00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:58,799 Speaker 3: I will be taught the word of God. I boldly confess. 57 00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:02,640 Speaker 3: My mind is a my heart is receptive. I will 58 00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:06,480 Speaker 3: never be the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you. 59 00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:10,160 Speaker 3: I want to talk to you today about sleep on. 60 00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:14,800 Speaker 3: It's easy to live frustrated because somebody's not doing what 61 00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:19,080 Speaker 3: we want, or discouraged because of a disappointment, upset because 62 00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:22,720 Speaker 3: a dream hasn't come to pass. But I've learned God 63 00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:27,520 Speaker 3: doesn't remove every frustration. He doesn't change every person we 64 00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:31,640 Speaker 3: don't like and take away everything that's bothering us. The 65 00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:35,520 Speaker 3: scripture says be still and know that He is God. 66 00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:41,880 Speaker 3: This implies if we're not still, if we're upset, worried, frustrated, 67 00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:45,840 Speaker 3: we're not going to know that he is God. Most 68 00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:49,920 Speaker 3: of the times I'm frustrated, I'm trying to change things 69 00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:53,600 Speaker 3: that only God can change. I'm trying to be God 70 00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:57,720 Speaker 3: and fix things that I can't control. You can't make 71 00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:01,160 Speaker 3: people do what's right. You can't make yourself do well. 72 00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:06,000 Speaker 3: If you're trying to control everything, you're going to be frustrated. 73 00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:09,560 Speaker 3: You have to turn it over to God. Do what 74 00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:12,600 Speaker 3: you can, then let him take care of the rest. 75 00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:17,320 Speaker 3: Life is too short to live frustrated because we're not 76 00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:22,880 Speaker 3: getting our ways, frustrated because something unfair has happened. God 77 00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:25,600 Speaker 3: wouldn't have allowed it if it was going to keep 78 00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:29,600 Speaker 3: you from your purpose. It's a test. Are you going 79 00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:32,960 Speaker 3: to let it steal your joy, live stressed out? Or 80 00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:35,800 Speaker 3: are you going to be still and know that He 81 00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:39,920 Speaker 3: is God? If God is not changing it, you have 82 00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:43,440 Speaker 3: to be mature enough to say, God, I don't like it, 83 00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:47,200 Speaker 3: but I know you've allowed it, and until you change it, 84 00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:50,600 Speaker 3: I'm going to stay in peace and enjoy my life. 85 00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:54,679 Speaker 3: The real victory is when God does everything you want, 86 00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:59,320 Speaker 3: removes all your frustrations. The real victory is when those 87 00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:03,440 Speaker 3: things happen, but it doesn't bother you anymore. You're at peace. 88 00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:07,720 Speaker 3: You know God is still in control. Matthew twenty six. 89 00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:11,240 Speaker 3: Jesus was about to be betrayed and go to the cross. 90 00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:15,400 Speaker 3: He went with his disciples to a place called Gasimone. 91 00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:19,560 Speaker 3: He was so troubled and so overwhelmed. He asked his 92 00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:23,080 Speaker 3: disciples to stay there and pray for him. He went 93 00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:27,160 Speaker 3: away by himself, fell on the ground, said, Father, if 94 00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:30,960 Speaker 3: it's possible, take this cup from me and a little while. 95 00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:33,800 Speaker 3: He went back to check on his disciples, hoping to 96 00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:37,359 Speaker 3: gain some strength, some encouragement from them. But when he 97 00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:41,000 Speaker 3: showed up, he found that they were all sound asleep. 98 00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:44,320 Speaker 3: He couldn't believe it. He woke them up and said, guys, 99 00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:47,479 Speaker 3: couldn't you stay up and pray for me? This is 100 00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:50,880 Speaker 3: the biggest challenge I've ever faced. He was kind of frustrated. 101 00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:56,240 Speaker 3: He asked them again, even more emphatically, please stay awake. 102 00:05:56,880 --> 00:06:00,120 Speaker 3: The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak. Pray. 103 00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:04,560 Speaker 3: Jesus went away again by himself to pray. He thought, 104 00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:07,400 Speaker 3: for sure, this time they got the message. He came 105 00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:11,240 Speaker 3: back a little later, same thing, still sleeping. You can 106 00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:16,000 Speaker 3: imagine how disappointed he was. He turned around, went back 107 00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:19,320 Speaker 3: to pray some more. Then he thought, I'll go check 108 00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:22,240 Speaker 3: on them one last time. This third time, I know 109 00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:25,160 Speaker 3: they'll be praying. After all I've done for them, I 110 00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:28,240 Speaker 3: know they'll be standing in faith with me. He went 111 00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:32,480 Speaker 3: back the third time, but they were still sleeping. This time, 112 00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:35,960 Speaker 3: he didn't try to wake them up. He didn't try 113 00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:39,120 Speaker 3: to get them to before him. He looked at them 114 00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:43,320 Speaker 3: and said sleep on. He came to the point where 115 00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:46,599 Speaker 3: he didn't let it bother him anymore. He could have 116 00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:51,919 Speaker 3: kept waking them up, trying to make it happen, being frustrated. Instead, 117 00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:56,040 Speaker 3: he accepted he wasn't going to have their support. He 118 00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:59,640 Speaker 3: accepted it wasn't going to work out his way. He 119 00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:03,440 Speaker 3: did fight it, he didn't let it frustrate him anymore. 120 00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:08,480 Speaker 3: He said sleep on and moved forward. There are times 121 00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:11,320 Speaker 3: in life when things don't work out the way we 122 00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:14,520 Speaker 3: want it. The people we were counting on weren't there 123 00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:18,880 Speaker 3: for us. The medical report wasn't good, the dream isn't 124 00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:23,560 Speaker 3: happening on our timetable. We could be frustrated. We did 125 00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:25,960 Speaker 3: the right thing, we stayed in faith, but it's not 126 00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:30,280 Speaker 3: working out. You have to do what Jesus did. Tell 127 00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:35,240 Speaker 3: the disappointment, tell the delay, tell the frustration. Sleep on. 128 00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:39,240 Speaker 3: You're not going to bother me anymore. I know God 129 00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:41,960 Speaker 3: is still on the throne. I know he's fighting my 130 00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:45,000 Speaker 3: battles and he will get me to where I'm supposed 131 00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:48,040 Speaker 3: to be. Are there some things you need to tell? 132 00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:52,560 Speaker 3: Sleep on that person you've been trying to change, No 133 00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:55,960 Speaker 3: matter how hard you try, they won't do what you want. 134 00:07:56,520 --> 00:08:00,560 Speaker 3: It's time to say sleep on. You can't control old people. 135 00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:03,920 Speaker 3: You can't make them do what's right. Pray for them, 136 00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:08,840 Speaker 3: be respectful, but don't go the next thirty years letting 137 00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:12,600 Speaker 3: them frustrate you. Two simple words can change your life. 138 00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:18,360 Speaker 3: Sleep on. Jesus wanted his disciples support. He deserved it, 139 00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:22,640 Speaker 3: he had been good to them. But sometimes God will 140 00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:26,760 Speaker 3: pull back people's support. He knows if they're there all 141 00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:30,720 Speaker 3: the time, then you would become dependent on them. You 142 00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:33,480 Speaker 3: would think they were your source, they were your savior. 143 00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:38,000 Speaker 3: You don't need everyone you think you need. God has 144 00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:41,120 Speaker 3: already lined up the right people to come into your 145 00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:45,360 Speaker 3: life to help you reach your destiny. The right people 146 00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:48,480 Speaker 3: you don't have to play up to. You don't have 147 00:08:48,520 --> 00:08:51,960 Speaker 3: to try to manipulate, convince them to be for you, 148 00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:55,360 Speaker 3: convince them to stay away. They'll be for you through 149 00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:58,600 Speaker 3: thick and thin. They'll show up when you didn't ask. 150 00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:03,200 Speaker 3: They'll encourage you when nobody else is around. But sometimes 151 00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:06,640 Speaker 3: we're being frustrated by people that are never going to 152 00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:10,160 Speaker 3: be for us. We're spending all this energy trying to 153 00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:13,480 Speaker 3: win them over, no matter how good we are to them. 154 00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:18,120 Speaker 3: Every time we need them, they're asleep, they're busy, they're 155 00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:22,520 Speaker 3: not interested. I've heard it said quit swimming across an 156 00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:26,439 Speaker 3: ocean to be good to someone that won't walk across 157 00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:30,400 Speaker 3: a puddle to be good to you. And I'm all 158 00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:35,040 Speaker 3: for overcoming evil with good, blessing our enemies, But the 159 00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:40,120 Speaker 3: scripture says, don't cast your pearl among swine. Your pearl 160 00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:44,000 Speaker 3: is your gift, your personality, your annoying, it's who God 161 00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:47,960 Speaker 3: made you to be. Some people won't value your pearl. 162 00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:51,960 Speaker 3: They won't respect your gift, they won't recognize what you 163 00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:55,240 Speaker 3: have to offer. The calling the favor on your life 164 00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:59,240 Speaker 3: and your time is too valuable to waste it with 165 00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:03,280 Speaker 3: people that discount your pearl. Don't hang around people that 166 00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:05,800 Speaker 3: try to lessen you, or you feel like you have 167 00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:08,560 Speaker 3: to prove to them who you are. Prove to them 168 00:10:08,559 --> 00:10:12,280 Speaker 3: why they should be your friend. You don't need their approval. 169 00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:16,480 Speaker 3: You have Almighty God's approval. He breeds his life into you. 170 00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:21,000 Speaker 3: He crowned you with favor. You have royal blood flowing 171 00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:25,040 Speaker 3: through your veins. Hang around people that celebrate your pearl, 172 00:10:25,640 --> 00:10:29,120 Speaker 3: people that polish your pearl, people that respect your pearl. 173 00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:33,679 Speaker 3: Too often we're trying to drag someone along. Convince them 174 00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:36,760 Speaker 3: to like us, Convince them to stay awake. Do yourself 175 00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:40,440 Speaker 3: a favor, tell them sleep on. If you'll let go 176 00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:43,480 Speaker 3: of the wrong people, God will bring the right people. 177 00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:48,640 Speaker 3: He'll send you divine connections, people that will love you 178 00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:51,760 Speaker 3: for who you are and not for what you can 179 00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:55,000 Speaker 3: do for them. People that will inspire you to go further. 180 00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:57,959 Speaker 3: People that will bring out the best in you. People 181 00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:01,520 Speaker 3: that will cause your pearl to shine. But Jesus was 182 00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:05,959 Speaker 3: wise enough to recognize the disciples couldn't stop the plan 183 00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:09,760 Speaker 3: of God for his life. Their lack of support couldn't 184 00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:12,719 Speaker 3: keep him from doing what his father called him to do, 185 00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:17,559 Speaker 3: and they were good people. They loved him. But sometimes 186 00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:21,560 Speaker 3: good people won't be there for you. It's a test. 187 00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:24,600 Speaker 3: Are you going to get frustrated and keep trying to 188 00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:28,720 Speaker 3: wake them up or are you going to recognize it's 189 00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:32,760 Speaker 3: a new season and say sleep on. Here's the key. 190 00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:36,400 Speaker 3: If they didn't wake up, you don't need them for 191 00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:40,000 Speaker 3: this season. If they're not giving you what they used 192 00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:43,160 Speaker 3: to give you, that means God has taken you to 193 00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:47,679 Speaker 3: a higher level. He's winning you off the support, the encouragement. 194 00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:51,040 Speaker 3: It's like a little baby. They love to have their bottle, 195 00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:55,560 Speaker 3: makes them comfortable, makes them feel secure, and that's fine 196 00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:58,160 Speaker 3: as long as they're a year or too old. But 197 00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:01,320 Speaker 3: if they're forty seven walking around with that bottle, that's 198 00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:05,360 Speaker 3: a problem. But as parents, when we take the bottle 199 00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:09,600 Speaker 3: away from our children, they don't like it, they're uncomfortable, 200 00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:13,320 Speaker 3: but we do it so it won't limit their growth. 201 00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:19,320 Speaker 3: Sometimes God will make you uncomfortable. He'll take something away 202 00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:22,440 Speaker 3: that you were used to. A friend that always called 203 00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:25,600 Speaker 3: and encouraged you, a coworker that always helped you with 204 00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:28,440 Speaker 3: the report, a neighbor you could always count on to 205 00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:32,560 Speaker 3: go somewhere together, it's because God is winning you off 206 00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:36,360 Speaker 3: that bottle, so to speak. As long as you're dependent 207 00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:39,760 Speaker 3: on people, it will limit how high you can go 208 00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:44,800 Speaker 3: when God removes the support. When he takes away someone 209 00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:47,160 Speaker 3: that you were used to, don't get mad at them. 210 00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:50,480 Speaker 3: Don't keep trying to wake them up. God put them 211 00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:54,240 Speaker 3: to sleep. You can't open a door that God is closed, 212 00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:58,280 Speaker 3: and that friend that's not there anymore. The disappointment. You 213 00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:01,600 Speaker 3: may not like it. It may be painful, but it's 214 00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:06,120 Speaker 3: ordained by God. You have to recognize that's a sign 215 00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:09,840 Speaker 3: you'll come in a higher That discomfort means you'll go 216 00:13:09,960 --> 00:13:14,560 Speaker 3: into a new level. Everyone that's with you now may 217 00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:18,040 Speaker 3: not be able to go where you're going. Some people 218 00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:21,480 Speaker 3: are like scaffolding. They come into your life for a 219 00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:25,079 Speaker 3: season to help you reach a certain level. But at 220 00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:28,679 Speaker 3: some point God is going to remove the scaffolding so 221 00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:32,120 Speaker 3: you can shine. It's not that they're not good people, 222 00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:36,360 Speaker 3: but their part in your story is over. God's taken 223 00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:40,720 Speaker 3: you to a higher level. Quit being frustrated by somebody 224 00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:43,160 Speaker 3: that's not supporting you like they used to. Why don't 225 00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:46,240 Speaker 3: they call me anymore? Joel? Why don't they compliment me? 226 00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:49,760 Speaker 3: The right attitude? Is I love you, I respect you, 227 00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:52,720 Speaker 3: but I don't have to have your support, your compliment, 228 00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:58,319 Speaker 3: your encouragement. Sleep on. We spend too much time trying 229 00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:02,320 Speaker 3: to get people's approval, trying to get them to validate us. 230 00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:06,160 Speaker 3: Then we'll feel good about ourselves. The problem with getting 231 00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:09,880 Speaker 3: your validation from people is people can change their mind. 232 00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:15,720 Speaker 3: One moment, people were cheering for Jesus, shouting Hosanna, waving 233 00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:19,640 Speaker 3: palm branches. A few days later, those sane people were 234 00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:24,920 Speaker 3: shouting crucifying. People can have a short memory, people can 235 00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:28,440 Speaker 3: go to sleep. And if you're getting your value based 236 00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:31,000 Speaker 3: on what people give you, how much they compliment you, 237 00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:34,560 Speaker 3: then if for some reason they stop doing that, you'll 238 00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:38,120 Speaker 3: forget who you are. Your self worth is coming from them. 239 00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:41,840 Speaker 3: Quit relying on people and go to God. You don't 240 00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:46,720 Speaker 3: need their approval. You have God's approval. But in life 241 00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:51,040 Speaker 3: we all go through gasmone. We all have disappointments and 242 00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:55,080 Speaker 3: things we don't understand. But I've learned God gives us 243 00:14:55,200 --> 00:15:00,920 Speaker 3: grace for every goseimone, grace for every unfair situation. It's 244 00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:03,640 Speaker 3: very free. When you can look at the people that 245 00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:06,960 Speaker 3: have left, you can look at the disappointment and say 246 00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:11,560 Speaker 3: sleep on. Amazing things are up ahead if you don't 247 00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:17,960 Speaker 3: give up in Gosemone. Yes, there will be crosses to bear, betrayals, setbacks, 248 00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:21,320 Speaker 3: but can I encourage you? If you keep moving forward, 249 00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:25,720 Speaker 3: there will be resurrections, There will be new beginnings, times 250 00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:29,280 Speaker 3: where God pays you back for what was unfair, times 251 00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:34,560 Speaker 3: were God catapults you years ahead. Don't get stuck in Gasemone. 252 00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:38,840 Speaker 3: Don't let the sickness cause you to become bitter. You 253 00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:42,400 Speaker 3: don't understand it, it's not fair. You can say God, 254 00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:45,760 Speaker 3: why this doesn't make sense? Or you can look at 255 00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:49,720 Speaker 3: the frustration, the discouragement, the fear, and say sleep on. 256 00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:53,160 Speaker 3: I'm not going to drag through this day defeated. I 257 00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:56,840 Speaker 3: may be in Gsemite, but I know a resurrection is coming. 258 00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:02,280 Speaker 3: Gasimone doesn't have to stop you. God wouldn't have allowed 259 00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:05,800 Speaker 3: it if it wasn't going to somehow move you towards 260 00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:09,680 Speaker 3: your purpose. The next time that coworker is rude to you, 261 00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:13,520 Speaker 3: instead of being upset, just smile and say sleep on. 262 00:16:15,120 --> 00:16:17,920 Speaker 3: When that car cuts you off in traffic, instead of 263 00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:21,360 Speaker 3: saying what you normally say, try a new approach. Sleep on. 264 00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:27,040 Speaker 3: You're not approving their behavior. You're not enabling them. You're 265 00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:31,920 Speaker 3: simply saying your actions are not going to control my life. 266 00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:34,880 Speaker 3: This traffic is not going to ruin my morning, This 267 00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:38,280 Speaker 3: setback is not going to sour the rest of my future. 268 00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:43,080 Speaker 3: Maybe you need to tell your past, sleep On. You 269 00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:46,320 Speaker 3: had a tough childhood, you went through a rough divorce, 270 00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:50,880 Speaker 3: you lost a loved one. Tell the hurts, tell the questions, 271 00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:55,880 Speaker 3: tell the failures. Sleep On. I've learned you're either feeding 272 00:16:55,920 --> 00:17:00,560 Speaker 3: your history or you're feeding your destiny. But you can't both. 273 00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:06,040 Speaker 3: You're either looking back, living in regrets, thinking of everything 274 00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:10,280 Speaker 3: that went wrong, or you're looking ahead saying, God, I 275 00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:13,639 Speaker 3: know what was meant for harm. You're turning to my advantage. 276 00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:16,600 Speaker 3: I know you have beauty for these ashes. I know 277 00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:19,760 Speaker 3: weeping indoors for a night, but joy's coming in the morning. 278 00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:25,760 Speaker 3: If you're always feeding your history, you're going to be frustrated, guilty, 279 00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:30,400 Speaker 3: angry in self pity. Do yourself a favor. Tell your history, 280 00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:35,720 Speaker 3: sleep On. You can't go forward if you're always looking backwards. 281 00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:39,520 Speaker 3: You can't see the new things on the horizon. If 282 00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:43,920 Speaker 3: you're focused on what's behind, Start feeding your destiny. Father, 283 00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:46,720 Speaker 3: thank you that your plans for me are for good. 284 00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:49,399 Speaker 3: Thank you that the path of the righteous gets brighter 285 00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:52,080 Speaker 3: and brighter. Thank you that you hold victory in store 286 00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:55,320 Speaker 3: for the upright. If you'll get your mind going in 287 00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:58,680 Speaker 3: the right direction, your life will go in the right direction. 288 00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:02,480 Speaker 3: To a gentleman last week, he'd gone through a lot 289 00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:05,960 Speaker 3: of disappointments. His marriage of many years had ended, and 290 00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:10,840 Speaker 3: a very successful career went downhill. Everything fell apart. He 291 00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:13,639 Speaker 3: was so discouraged he was going to end his life. 292 00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:16,359 Speaker 3: He got in his car and was driving to a 293 00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:20,080 Speaker 3: remote place. He turned the radio on and just so 294 00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:23,760 Speaker 3: happened to tune into our serious exem station. I was 295 00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:27,800 Speaker 3: talking about not looking back, not reliving the hurts and failures, 296 00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:31,400 Speaker 3: and how God has good things up ahead. He said, 297 00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:35,080 Speaker 3: when he heard that, it was like somebody breathed new 298 00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:39,560 Speaker 3: life into his spirit. Strongholds in his mind were broken. 299 00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:43,720 Speaker 3: He turned around, went back home. Today he's back on track, 300 00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:48,040 Speaker 3: living a life of victory. What happened He quit feeding 301 00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:52,639 Speaker 3: his history and he started feeding his destiny. If you 302 00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:56,719 Speaker 3: feed your history long enough, it will pull you into depression. 303 00:18:57,600 --> 00:19:00,040 Speaker 3: The enemy would love to keep you so focused on 304 00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:03,480 Speaker 3: your hurts and what didn't work out that you're too 305 00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:07,600 Speaker 3: discouraged to move forward. Don't fall into that trap. You 306 00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:11,160 Speaker 3: wouldn't be alive unless God had something amazing in front 307 00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:14,600 Speaker 3: of you. You made be in dysseimine, a place of 308 00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:19,000 Speaker 3: discouragement frustration. But if you'll say sleep on and start 309 00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:21,919 Speaker 3: thinking some new thoughts, then you're headed for a resurrection. 310 00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:25,400 Speaker 3: You're headed for a new beginning, a place of restoration. 311 00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:28,560 Speaker 3: A few years ago, I was flying to an event 312 00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:30,800 Speaker 3: with some of our staff, and we were on a 313 00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:34,520 Speaker 3: smaller plane that held a couple dozen people. After it 314 00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:37,119 Speaker 3: took off, I wanted to open up my tray table 315 00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:40,520 Speaker 3: so I could write some notes. The table was in 316 00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:43,959 Speaker 3: the side of the plane, right underneath the window. I 317 00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:46,960 Speaker 3: pulled and pulled, but I couldn't get it open. My 318 00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:50,600 Speaker 3: friend was sitting across the aisle. His looked exactly the same, 319 00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:54,280 Speaker 3: and he pulled his straight out. No problem. I went 320 00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:57,560 Speaker 3: back to mine and I pulled, I yanked, I struggled. 321 00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:00,280 Speaker 3: I thought, I'm going to get this table open if 322 00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:03,560 Speaker 3: it's the last thing I do. It was stuck. My 323 00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:06,880 Speaker 3: friend came over. He started pulling and pulling another staff member. 324 00:20:06,920 --> 00:20:10,200 Speaker 3: They pulled and pulled. It wouldn't budge I sat across 325 00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:13,920 Speaker 3: the aisle kind of frustrated about that time. I looked 326 00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:17,200 Speaker 3: up and over the window where we had been pulling, 327 00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:21,399 Speaker 3: there was a sign with big bold letters. It read 328 00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:28,760 Speaker 3: not a trade table, emergency exit only. Sometimes what we're 329 00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:34,959 Speaker 3: frustrated about is God keeping us from real frustration. In 330 00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:40,640 Speaker 3: my case, God keeping me alive. If God answered all 331 00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:44,280 Speaker 3: of our prayers, opened every door we asked him to open, 332 00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:47,920 Speaker 3: brought every person we begged him to bring, we wouldn't 333 00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:52,000 Speaker 3: reach our destiny. The longer I live, the easier it 334 00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:55,199 Speaker 3: is for me to say sleep on. I may not 335 00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:58,520 Speaker 3: understand it, it may not make sense, but I've learned 336 00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:01,440 Speaker 3: God is smarter than I I am. He can see 337 00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:05,199 Speaker 3: things I cannot see. He knows what he's doing. I 338 00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:10,320 Speaker 3: wonder if what's frustrating you has an emergency exit only 339 00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:13,480 Speaker 3: sign on it, and you can't see it. You don't 340 00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:16,560 Speaker 3: understand why God won't answer the prayer, why the dream 341 00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:19,480 Speaker 3: is taking so long, and why that guy at work 342 00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:23,680 Speaker 3: you like so much hasn't even noticed you. You've worn 343 00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:26,920 Speaker 3: your best clothes, your best perfume, given him your best move. 344 00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:31,560 Speaker 3: He acts like he's dead. Maybe it's because God can 345 00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:36,320 Speaker 3: see something you can't see. Maybe under his shirt is 346 00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:41,960 Speaker 3: an emergency exit only sign that's hidden from you. God 347 00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:45,840 Speaker 3: has your best interests at heart. If he's not giving 348 00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:48,720 Speaker 3: you what you want, that means he has something better. 349 00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:52,200 Speaker 3: He loves you too much to let you miss your destiny. 350 00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:55,919 Speaker 3: A couple of years after I took over from my father, 351 00:21:56,480 --> 00:21:59,960 Speaker 3: the church started to grow and we needed a larger auditorium. 352 00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:04,000 Speaker 3: We found one hundred acre tract of land right by 353 00:22:04,040 --> 00:22:07,000 Speaker 3: the other location, a few miles away on the freeway. 354 00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:11,040 Speaker 3: It seemed perfect. The owner told us the property had 355 00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:13,920 Speaker 3: been on the market for twenty years. We knew God 356 00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:17,280 Speaker 3: had saved that property for us. He said we didn't 357 00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:19,879 Speaker 3: need to sign the contract right then. We could do 358 00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:23,560 Speaker 3: some preliminary drawings and do some soil samples while the 359 00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:27,280 Speaker 3: paperwork was getting taken care of. Several months later, we 360 00:22:27,320 --> 00:22:30,160 Speaker 3: went to close on the property. We had an eight 361 00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:33,400 Speaker 3: o'clock in the morning appointment. We showed up at seven 362 00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:37,840 Speaker 3: forty five. The secretary walked out said, I'm sorry, the 363 00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:41,959 Speaker 3: owner sold the property last night. I couldn't believe it. 364 00:22:42,359 --> 00:22:45,680 Speaker 3: He didn't keep his word. I went home so disappointed. 365 00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:48,880 Speaker 3: I told Victoria what happened and how there was no 366 00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:51,720 Speaker 3: more property, and how now we were stuck. She looked 367 00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:55,560 Speaker 3: at me and said, Joel, this means God has something better. 368 00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:59,840 Speaker 3: He closed this door for a reason. She started preaching 369 00:22:59,880 --> 00:23:03,119 Speaker 3: the me one of my own sermons. I didn't want 370 00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:06,840 Speaker 3: to hear that. She was saying, sleep on. I was saying, no, no, 371 00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:11,199 Speaker 3: wake up, this is bad. I had to do what 372 00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:13,720 Speaker 3: I'm asking you to do. I said, God, I don't 373 00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:17,840 Speaker 3: understand it. It doesn't seem fair. But God, I trust you. 374 00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:22,239 Speaker 3: I believe you know what's best. Several months later, we 375 00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:25,240 Speaker 3: found another piece of property. It seemed better than the 376 00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:28,520 Speaker 3: first one. We went to close on it. The same 377 00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:32,400 Speaker 3: thing happened. They sold it out from under us. If 378 00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:35,000 Speaker 3: you don't pass the test the first time, you get 379 00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:38,560 Speaker 3: to take it again this time. I said, God, I'm 380 00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:40,879 Speaker 3: glad they sold the property. I didn't want it in 381 00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:44,679 Speaker 3: the first place. God knew I was lying, but it 382 00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:50,000 Speaker 3: felt good. But six months later, a friend called said, Joel, 383 00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:53,600 Speaker 3: the Houston Rockets basketball team is moving out of the 384 00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:57,119 Speaker 3: Compact Center. That would be a perfect place for Lakewood. 385 00:23:57,359 --> 00:24:01,320 Speaker 3: When he said that, something came alive on inside. I 386 00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:04,600 Speaker 3: knew that's why God had closed those doors. He had 387 00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:07,720 Speaker 3: something bigger, better. I never dreamed we could have the 388 00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:11,199 Speaker 3: compact center. Things fell into place. Here we are today. 389 00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:14,439 Speaker 3: What am I saying? The things you're tempted to be 390 00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:18,760 Speaker 3: frustrated about today? If you will stay in faith, one 391 00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:23,160 Speaker 3: day you'll look back and say, like me, while God, 392 00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:28,280 Speaker 3: you outdid yourself. I never dreamed i'd meet somebody this great. 393 00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:32,240 Speaker 3: I never dreamed i'd feel this healthy. I never dreamed 394 00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:35,320 Speaker 3: you'd take me this far. God's plan for your life 395 00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:38,720 Speaker 3: is so much bigger than your own. The real question 396 00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:42,879 Speaker 3: is what will you do in gasemone when it's not 397 00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:46,200 Speaker 3: working out your way, when your friends aren't there for you, 398 00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:49,240 Speaker 3: when the contract doesn't go through, when the medical report 399 00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:53,360 Speaker 3: is not good. Too many people don't see their resurrection 400 00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:58,080 Speaker 3: because they get bitter in gasemone, God, why did they 401 00:24:58,119 --> 00:25:01,280 Speaker 3: fall asleep? Why did they sell it out from under us? 402 00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:06,280 Speaker 3: Gasimone is the real test. We like when everything's going great, 403 00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:10,040 Speaker 3: but that's not when we grow the most. Gasimony is 404 00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:13,360 Speaker 3: where you can be promoted. God is seeing what you're 405 00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:16,720 Speaker 3: made of. He's seeing if you're ready, if you'll stay 406 00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:19,560 Speaker 3: in peace, if you'll be still and know that he 407 00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:23,600 Speaker 3: is God, then he'll take you into your resurrection. The 408 00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:26,240 Speaker 3: way you know you're ready to be promoted is not 409 00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:30,240 Speaker 3: that God has removed all your difficulties, but you don't 410 00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:34,720 Speaker 3: let them frustrate you anymore. You've learned this principle. Two 411 00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:40,120 Speaker 3: simple words, sleep on. Maybe these two words could help 412 00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:43,240 Speaker 3: you get your joy back. Two words could help you 413 00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:45,679 Speaker 3: sleep through the night. Two words could bring you peace. 414 00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:49,520 Speaker 3: Sleep on. I read about a lady that was complaining 415 00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:52,880 Speaker 3: about everything that went wrong that day. She said, God, 416 00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:56,000 Speaker 3: why did you let so many bad things happen? My 417 00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:58,840 Speaker 3: alarm didn't go off and I was late to work 418 00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:01,880 Speaker 3: at Lung. They made the wrong sandwich and I had 419 00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:05,159 Speaker 3: to send it back. Driving home, my cell phone dropped 420 00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:08,480 Speaker 3: the call in the middle of the conversation. To top 421 00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:10,640 Speaker 3: it off. When I got home, I wanted to put 422 00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:13,240 Speaker 3: my feet in the foot massager, but it wouldn't turn on. 423 00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:15,960 Speaker 3: God said, all right, let me go down the list. 424 00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:19,320 Speaker 3: Your alarm didn't go off because there was a drunk 425 00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:22,720 Speaker 3: driver on the road. I delayed you on purpose so 426 00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:25,720 Speaker 3: you wouldn't be harmed. You had to send your sandwich 427 00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:29,560 Speaker 3: back because the first person that made it wasn't feeling well. 428 00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:32,359 Speaker 3: I didn't want you to catch what they had, so 429 00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:35,000 Speaker 3: I had somebody else make you a new one. The 430 00:26:35,119 --> 00:26:38,560 Speaker 3: cell phone dropped the call because that person was about 431 00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:40,840 Speaker 3: to fill you with gossip and I didn't want you 432 00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:44,800 Speaker 3: to be contaminated. And the foot massage it had a 433 00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:47,000 Speaker 3: short in it. If you would have turned it on, 434 00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:49,840 Speaker 3: it would have knocked out the power. And I didn't 435 00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:53,240 Speaker 3: think you wanted to sit around in the dark all night. 436 00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:57,480 Speaker 3: Could it be what's frustrating you is really the hand 437 00:26:57,520 --> 00:27:01,440 Speaker 3: of God. Could it be He's behind this, doing things 438 00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:05,159 Speaker 3: you can't see. But it's for your good, protecting you, 439 00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:12,480 Speaker 3: guiding you, positioning you. Nothing happens without God's permission. We're 440 00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:15,600 Speaker 3: not always going to understand it. This is when we 441 00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:19,720 Speaker 3: have to trust him. You may be in gsemone today. 442 00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:24,000 Speaker 3: You have a good reason to be upset, frustrated. I'm 443 00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:27,320 Speaker 3: asking you to do what Jesus did. Tell the frustration, 444 00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:32,040 Speaker 3: tell the past, tell the disappointment, sleep on. It may 445 00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:35,680 Speaker 3: not be fair, but God sees what's happening. He has 446 00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:39,040 Speaker 3: you in the palm of his hand. He's breathing in 447 00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:43,040 Speaker 3: your direction right now. Don't give up. In gasmone, you 448 00:27:43,119 --> 00:27:46,399 Speaker 3: are close to your breakthrough. You are close to a 449 00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:50,200 Speaker 3: new level. If you will pass this test. I believe 450 00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:53,880 Speaker 3: and declare you're going to come out of Gosmone into 451 00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:59,200 Speaker 3: your resurrection. You're going to see promotion, healing, restoration, vindication. 452 00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:03,359 Speaker 3: God going to turn the frustration into favor. You're going 453 00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:08,200 Speaker 3: to rise higher, accomplish dreams and become everything He's created 454 00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:11,720 Speaker 3: you to be in Jesus' name. And if you receive it, 455 00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:12,680 Speaker 3: can you say it? 456 00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:12,879 Speaker 5: Men? 457 00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:17,360 Speaker 3: Today, I'd like to give you an opportunity to make 458 00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:20,560 Speaker 3: Jesus the lord of your life. Would you pray with me? 459 00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:26,760 Speaker 3: Just say, Lord Jesus, I'll repent of my sins. Come 460 00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:30,440 Speaker 3: into my heart. I make you my Lord and savior. 461 00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:34,480 Speaker 3: If you prayed that simple prayer, we believe you got 462 00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:37,719 Speaker 3: born again.
