Speaker 5: Hi, this is Victoria. Thank you so much for downloading

36
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:37,840
Speaker 5: this podcast. I believe God has amazing things in your future.

37
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:49,840
Speaker 5: I hope you enjoy this message. I think about when

38
00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:55,120
Speaker 5: my daughter sent out her applications for college. She was

39
00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:58,400
Speaker 5: going to go to a university, and so it was

40
00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:00,680
Speaker 5: the end of her senior year she began to send

41
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:03,840
Speaker 5: out applications to see where she would go to school.

42
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:06,200
Speaker 5: I remember they said it was going to take a

43
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:09,440
Speaker 5: few months to get those applications back and see what

44
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 5: school she was accepted in. But you know, those months

45
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:16,600
Speaker 5: just seemed to take even longer. It seemed like it

46
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:20,960
Speaker 5: was taking forever to get a response back. From the school,

47
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:24,680
Speaker 5: and she was anticipating what school she would go to.

48
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:27,920
Speaker 5: All of her friends were going through the same process.

49
00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:31,760
Speaker 5: They were waiting for their answers. And it's kind of

50
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:35,200
Speaker 5: funny because as they were waiting, it was as if

51
00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:38,240
Speaker 5: they had more questions in their heart and mind. They

52
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:40,600
Speaker 5: were like, well, what if I get accepted to this school,

53
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:42,040
Speaker 5: who will I live with?

54
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:42,960
Speaker 1: Well?

55
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:45,720
Speaker 5: If I get accepted to that school, where will I live?

56
00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:50,680
Speaker 5: You see, they were anticipating all this and it was

57
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:54,960
Speaker 5: just formulating more doubt and more questions in their mind.

58
00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:55,800
Speaker 4: About this situation.

59
00:02:56,720 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 5: You see, they were waiting and it was making them.

60
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:04,760
Speaker 4: Have you ever waited and been frustrated?

61
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:08,320
Speaker 5: Kind of like my daughter, She couldn't make plans until

62
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:11,359
Speaker 5: she got this answer. You see, it happens to all

63
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:16,400
Speaker 5: of us. We all go through this waiting process.

64
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:17,600
Speaker 4: It's no fun.

65
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:21,240
Speaker 5: It can be difficult, it can be challenging, and it

66
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:24,600
Speaker 5: can be hard. But can I tell you God is

67
00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:27,600
Speaker 5: not making us wait to make it hard on us.

68
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:33,200
Speaker 5: He's causing us to develop in our character and in

69
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:33,919
Speaker 5: our strength.

70
00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:36,360
Speaker 4: You see, we all.

71
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:41,440
Speaker 5: Have patience we need to acquire. Patience is a strength.

72
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:46,080
Speaker 5: Patience is what brings forth God's promises. The word says,

73
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 5: it's through patient endurance that we bring forth the promises

74
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:56,560
Speaker 5: of God. You see, my daughter was accepted to a college.

75
00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:59,960
Speaker 5: She was really happy about it, but then she started

76
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:03,200
Speaker 5: waiting to see what charrity she would get in. She

77
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:05,880
Speaker 5: was waiting to see what kind of friends she would meet.

78
00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:07,880
Speaker 4: She's going to be.

79
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:11,560
Speaker 5: Waiting to graduate, She'll be waiting to see what job

80
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:14,000
Speaker 5: she gets, who she marries, waiting to.

81
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:18,279
Speaker 4: Have a baby. You see, life is a process of waiting.

82
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:21,920
Speaker 5: She's eighteen years old, She's got a lot of waiting

83
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:22,320
Speaker 5: to do.

84
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:29,279
Speaker 4: So the earlier that we learn this process, the happier

85
00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:31,560
Speaker 4: we're going to be. You see.

86
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:35,440
Speaker 5: I wonder sometimes if those girls even enjoyed the last

87
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:39,960
Speaker 5: semester of high school because they were so concerned, worried,

88
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:43,440
Speaker 5: and frustrated about what was going to happen in the future.

89
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:45,599
Speaker 4: You know, it's interesting.

90
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:49,080
Speaker 5: God always puts us at the right place, even if

91
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:51,200
Speaker 5: it's not the place we think we should be.

92
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:54,000
Speaker 4: God always works it out for us.

93
00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:57,000
Speaker 5: You see, we're going to be waiting most of the time,

94
00:04:57,440 --> 00:04:59,040
Speaker 5: so we need to learn to wait.

95
00:04:59,080 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 4: Well.

96
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:04,480
Speaker 5: Isaiah forty thirty one says, wait on the Lord and

97
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:08,200
Speaker 5: he will renew your strength. See, we're never going to

98
00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:11,680
Speaker 5: wait well unless we wait in the strength of God.

99
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:17,640
Speaker 5: Sometimes we make the mistake of thinking waiting is passive.

100
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:21,800
Speaker 5: We're standing in the corner with our hands folded, just

101
00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:25,920
Speaker 5: waiting for the right thing to happen, waiting for us

102
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:28,360
Speaker 5: to get this great break, waiting for our.

103
00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:29,160
Speaker 4: Career to start.

104
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:33,520
Speaker 5: But see, God doesn't think that we should sit around

105
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:37,240
Speaker 5: and wait. We should be actively waiting. We should be

106
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:41,839
Speaker 5: pursuing God, not just waiting to see what happens, but

107
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:46,560
Speaker 5: preparing ourselves in the wait. You know, I've heard it

108
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:51,920
Speaker 5: said like this that patience is a muscle that can

109
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:53,279
Speaker 5: only be.

110
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:55,640
Speaker 4: Developed in the wait.

111
00:05:56,960 --> 00:06:02,400
Speaker 5: You see, we've got to wait well, develop patience. We

112
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:06,159
Speaker 5: all want patience, we all want to be strengthened. The

113
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:09,159
Speaker 5: writer of James says it like this. See the farmer,

114
00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:11,440
Speaker 5: how he waits patiently.

115
00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:14,159
Speaker 4: For his crops to come up. Then it goes on

116
00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:15,840
Speaker 4: to tell us how he waits.

117
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:21,640
Speaker 5: It says he waits with cheerful endurance, with expectation.

118
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:25,080
Speaker 4: He's waiting looking.

119
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:29,840
Speaker 5: For the signs the rain. He's out there watching his soil,

120
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:33,520
Speaker 5: believing it's rich. You see, he doesn't go out there

121
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:36,919
Speaker 5: and say, I know I planted seed in the ground.

122
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:38,240
Speaker 4: I wonder if it's still there.

123
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:40,720
Speaker 5: Have you ever thought, like, let me dig it up

124
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:43,360
Speaker 5: and make sure it's still down there. I don't see

125
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 5: anything happening yet, you see, that's easy.

126
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:48,080
Speaker 4: We all feel like that.

127
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:52,159
Speaker 5: But he stayed excited about his crop even when he

128
00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:55,240
Speaker 5: didn't see anything happening, because he knew it was just

129
00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:57,760
Speaker 5: a matter of time that the earth would bring forth

130
00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:00,919
Speaker 5: his harvest if he kept his endure, prence, and his

131
00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:02,920
Speaker 5: strength and his patience.

132
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:06,520
Speaker 4: See, we should all wait with that attitude, shouldn't we

133
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:10,600
Speaker 4: We would enjoy life more. You know, we don't need

134
00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:13,320
Speaker 4: to feel the struggle when we wait.

135
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:17,120
Speaker 5: We need to develop our patients, knowing that at the

136
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:20,120
Speaker 5: right time, God is gonna get us to where we

137
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:22,840
Speaker 5: need to be. We need to start enjoying our life

138
00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:26,240
Speaker 5: right now, not looking so far into the future that

139
00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:29,560
Speaker 5: we forget what's happening right now. I was in the

140
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:32,360
Speaker 5: elevator with my daughter not long ago, and we were

141
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:34,280
Speaker 5: going up to like the twenty fifth floor in this

142
00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:39,120
Speaker 5: high rise building, and the elevator stopped, doors opened, and

143
00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:42,280
Speaker 5: a man walks in, and we're just standing there and

144
00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:46,080
Speaker 5: he looks at me and I smiled at him, and

145
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:49,480
Speaker 5: he looks at me and I said, Hi. He was

146
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:52,440
Speaker 5: gonna say something to me, and he stopped for a

147
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:55,480
Speaker 5: second and I could see him thinking, and he said,

148
00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:58,720
Speaker 5: I can't believe you're standing in this elevator. I can't

149
00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 5: believe I'm seeing you right now.

150
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:02,880
Speaker 4: He said. I was talking to a friend of mine

151
00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:06,680
Speaker 4: the other day, and he said, I was talking about how.

152
00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:09,840
Speaker 5: I've been waiting for something for a long time and

153
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:12,400
Speaker 5: I need God to help me. I need him to

154
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:15,720
Speaker 5: increase my patience so I can bring forth what I

155
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:18,360
Speaker 5: feel like he's called me to do. And he said,

156
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:21,320
Speaker 5: you know, I love the ministry. I get encouragement from

157
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:24,280
Speaker 5: the ministry. And he said, because I see you today,

158
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:27,160
Speaker 5: he said, I believe it's a sign that God is

159
00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:29,040
Speaker 5: telling me it's gonna happen.

160
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:32,960
Speaker 4: Hang on, don't give up. It's just a matter of time.

161
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:38,800
Speaker 4: You know what that man was doing, he.

162
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:41,679
Speaker 5: Was doing the same thing that the farmer does. He

163
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:45,199
Speaker 5: was looking for a sign. He was looking for the rain.

164
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:50,120
Speaker 5: He was saying, I need this cheerful, hopeful endurance. God,

165
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:52,599
Speaker 5: give me a sign, give me the next thing, to

166
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:57,040
Speaker 5: give me to my next place, strengthen me I'm waiting

167
00:08:57,080 --> 00:09:00,480
Speaker 5: on you so that you'll renew my strength. You see,

168
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:04,600
Speaker 5: when we're strong, we can endure. God says, I want

169
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:06,480
Speaker 5: you to run and not get weary.

170
00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:08,319
Speaker 4: I don't want you to faint.

171
00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:14,560
Speaker 5: I want you to be strong with this virtue called patience. See,

172
00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:18,160
Speaker 5: we don't need to birth anything before it's time. We've

173
00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:21,240
Speaker 5: got to be ready for what God has in store

174
00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:23,080
Speaker 5: for us. And if we're going to bring forth the

175
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:26,119
Speaker 5: promises of God, we're going to have to develop patience.

176
00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:31,880
Speaker 5: Patience isn't a bad thing. Patience is a strength. It's

177
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:36,280
Speaker 5: a good thing. Jesus told five hundred disciples wait here

178
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:39,720
Speaker 5: in Jerusalem, because the Holy Spirit is going to come

179
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:43,960
Speaker 5: upon you. He said, don't leave, wait right here. Do

180
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:47,760
Speaker 5: you know that only one hundred and fifty disciples out

181
00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:51,280
Speaker 5: of the five hundred didn't get impatient and leave.

182
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:53,240
Speaker 4: The rest left.

183
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:56,560
Speaker 5: It was only one hundred and twenty out of the

184
00:09:56,600 --> 00:10:01,640
Speaker 5: five hundred that's stuck around. You See, sometimes I think

185
00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:05,360
Speaker 5: when it takes a long time, we get bored, we

186
00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:10,240
Speaker 5: lose our enthusiasm, we forget what we're waiting for, we

187
00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:14,280
Speaker 5: quit expecting. You see, that day, the ones who stayed

188
00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:20,520
Speaker 5: got renewed recharged and re energated, energized.

189
00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:21,320
Speaker 4: By the Holy Spirit.

190
00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:25,640
Speaker 5: The Holy Spirit came in and suddenly did exactly what

191
00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:29,720
Speaker 5: Jesus said the Holy Spirit was gonna do. How Baka

192
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:35,240
Speaker 5: the prophet said, God, I have this vision. You told

193
00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:37,040
Speaker 5: me to write it down. You told me to hold

194
00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:37,560
Speaker 5: it close.

195
00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:41,240
Speaker 4: But it's taken a long time. And God, you know,

196
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:44,439
Speaker 4: God said to him, he said, though it terry, wait

197
00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:49,680
Speaker 4: for it. Well, God tell me when. Wait for it?

198
00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:51,719
Speaker 5: Man?

199
00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:54,400
Speaker 4: Sometimes, you know, have you ever thought of that word waiting?

200
00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:54,520
Speaker 3: You?

201
00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:57,720
Speaker 4: All you can see is long lines, lots of traffic.

202
00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:02,840
Speaker 5: You're sitting in the doctor's office with everybody sitting there waiting.

203
00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:07,720
Speaker 5: But why do you stay in that chair? Because you

204
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:09,760
Speaker 5: know the nurse is gonna come out. She's gonna call

205
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:13,160
Speaker 5: your name. She's gonna call your name. That's what keeps

206
00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:16,120
Speaker 5: you in that chair. Let me tell you something, God,

207
00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:17,800
Speaker 5: it's gonna call your name.

208
00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:22,480
Speaker 4: It's for an appointed time. Wait for it. Don't get

209
00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:26,320
Speaker 4: ahead of the time. See, you know what our job is.

210
00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:28,160
Speaker 4: Our job is.

211
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:31,320
Speaker 5: To get ready for the appointed time. Because we don't

212
00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:34,559
Speaker 5: want to birth anything before it's time. We don't want

213
00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:37,079
Speaker 5: to take it into our own hands. I think about

214
00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:39,439
Speaker 5: Moses and how he led the Israelites.

215
00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:41,440
Speaker 4: They were well equipped.

216
00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:44,560
Speaker 5: When they came out of Egypt strong headed to the

217
00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:48,320
Speaker 5: Promised Land. Listen, he opened the Red Sea. They saw

218
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:53,480
Speaker 5: amazing miracles. They walk through on dry ground, so incredible.

219
00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:56,200
Speaker 5: Even though they may have been fearful. They look back

220
00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:59,840
Speaker 5: and they watched the sea swallow off their enemies.

221
00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:04,319
Speaker 4: You see, God did amazing things. He said, I'm taking

222
00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:04,719
Speaker 4: you to.

223
00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:08,840
Speaker 5: That place called the Promised Land. Stick with me, keep

224
00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:11,720
Speaker 5: the promise, and don't give up. Well as they were

225
00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:14,880
Speaker 5: in the desert, Moses said, hey, I'll be back.

226
00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:16,040
Speaker 4: I'm going to see God.

227
00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:19,200
Speaker 5: I'm gonna get our instructions for the next half of

228
00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:23,160
Speaker 5: our journey. So he went up to Mount Sinai and

229
00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:26,439
Speaker 5: spoke with God. But you know what the Israelites did

230
00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:30,880
Speaker 5: in the camp. They lost sight of the promise of God.

231
00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:34,400
Speaker 5: They lost sight of where they were going and what

232
00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:37,520
Speaker 5: God was capable of doing. You know what they said,

233
00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:40,080
Speaker 5: They said, we don't know if Moses he's even gonna

234
00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:44,200
Speaker 5: come back. He's taken so long. They were so impatient.

235
00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:47,559
Speaker 5: You know what they did. They took the gold that

236
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:50,160
Speaker 5: God had given them, that he had supplied for them,

237
00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:52,040
Speaker 5: and they threw it in the fire, and they said,

238
00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:55,120
Speaker 5: we're gonna make our own God. We're going to celebrate

239
00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:58,559
Speaker 5: and worship that God. They thought that God was gonna

240
00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:00,080
Speaker 5: make him happy.

241
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:03,880
Speaker 4: He didn't. He didn't make them happy at all. In fact,

242
00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:06,720
Speaker 4: you know what they did. They fell short of the

243
00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:09,520
Speaker 4: best plan God had for their life. We need to

244
00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:10,240
Speaker 4: be prepared.

245
00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:14,840
Speaker 5: There's a pointed time. What are you doing to get

246
00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:20,640
Speaker 5: to that appointed time? You See, it's how we wait

247
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:26,280
Speaker 5: that's important to God. How we wait can oftentimes lead

248
00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:27,760
Speaker 5: to how long we wait.

249
00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:31,120
Speaker 4: See, the waiting is what God is interested in.

250
00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:34,719
Speaker 5: He's interested in what we're gonna develop within us as

251
00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:37,679
Speaker 5: we wait. In fact, I believe he's more interested in

252
00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:41,960
Speaker 5: our development than what we're waiting on, because see, God's

253
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:43,840
Speaker 5: got amazing things in your future.

254
00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:46,880
Speaker 4: Hey, if he's brought you this far, he's gonna take

255
00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:50,480
Speaker 4: you all the way. He's parted red seas for you.

256
00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:51,920
Speaker 4: You've seen him do miracles.

257
00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:56,360
Speaker 5: He's you're well fed and well clothed, You've got everything

258
00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:56,839
Speaker 5: you need.

259
00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:01,040
Speaker 4: Don't jump ahead of God. No, if he's brought you

260
00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:04,400
Speaker 4: this far, he's gonna take you all the way. Enjoy

261
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:05,160
Speaker 4: where you are.

262
00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:09,320

00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:15,040
