I promise you we'll 44 00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:07,280 Speaker 2: make it feel right at home. I like to start 45 00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:10,320 Speaker 2: with something funny, and I heard about this lady. She 46 00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:13,920 Speaker 2: was on the airplane reading her Bible. The man next 47 00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:16,720 Speaker 2: to her said, you don't believe all that stuff in there. 48 00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:16,919 Speaker 4: Do you? 49 00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:20,480 Speaker 2: She said, certainly I do. It's the Bible. He said, 50 00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:23,000 Speaker 2: what about that guy that got swallowed by a well? 51 00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:26,120 Speaker 2: She said, oh, you mean Jonah. Yeah, I believe that too. 52 00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:29,400 Speaker 2: He said, well, how could he possibly live that long 53 00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:32,880 Speaker 2: inside of a well? She thought about it a moment, said, 54 00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:34,880 Speaker 2: I don't know. When I get to heaven, i'll have 55 00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:38,320 Speaker 2: to ask him. He said, sarcastically, what if he's not 56 00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:41,160 Speaker 2: in heaven? She said, then you'll have to ask him. 57 00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:45,560 Speaker 2: Say it like you mean it. This is my Bible. 58 00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:48,280 Speaker 2: I am what it says I am. I have what 59 00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:50,800 Speaker 2: it says I have. I can do what it says 60 00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:53,600 Speaker 2: I can do. Today I will be taught the word 61 00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:57,679 Speaker 2: of God. I boldly confess. My mind is alert, my 62 00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:02,160 Speaker 2: heart is recepted. I will never be the same. In Jesus' name, 63 00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:05,560 Speaker 2: God bless you. I want to talk to you today 64 00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:09,799 Speaker 2: about just one good break. Sometimes we don't see how 65 00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:13,040 Speaker 2: we can accomplish our dreams. We don't have the connections, 66 00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:16,960 Speaker 2: the resources, the experience. I talked to a young man 67 00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:20,000 Speaker 2: that wanted to go to college, but his scholarship didn't 68 00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:22,919 Speaker 2: go through. He comes from a single parent home and 69 00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:26,000 Speaker 2: he doesn't have the funds. The odds are against him. 70 00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:30,000 Speaker 2: It's easy to get discouraged and think I'll never get well. 71 00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:33,480 Speaker 2: Look at the medical report. I'll never break this addiction. 72 00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:36,320 Speaker 2: I've had it for years. I can't get out of debt. 73 00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:39,360 Speaker 2: I've gone as far as I can. It may look 74 00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:42,640 Speaker 2: like it's not going to happen, but what you can't 75 00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:47,080 Speaker 2: see is you're just one good break away, just meeting 76 00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:52,160 Speaker 2: one right person, just one phone call, one contract, one healing, 77 00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:58,240 Speaker 2: and what seemed impossible will suddenly become possible. You don't 78 00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:01,920 Speaker 2: need one hundred things to go right. Just one touch 79 00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:05,600 Speaker 2: of God's favor and doors will open that you couldn't open. 80 00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:10,280 Speaker 2: Just one person being for you will catapult you ahead. 81 00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:14,960 Speaker 2: Just one breakthrough and suddenly you get well. Suddenly you're 82 00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:18,760 Speaker 2: free from the addiction. Suddenly the depression is gone. And 83 00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:22,280 Speaker 2: you may have situations that don't look like they'll ever change, 84 00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:27,360 Speaker 2: but stay encouraged. God has already arranged good breaks for you, 85 00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:31,359 Speaker 2: things that you couldn't make happen. You weren't next in line, 86 00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:34,680 Speaker 2: you didn't have the experience, but out of nowhere the 87 00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:39,600 Speaker 2: contract came to you. He's already lined up the right people. 88 00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:39,960 Speaker 3: To help you. 89 00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:43,480 Speaker 2: You didn't ask them, you didn't have to try to 90 00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:47,120 Speaker 2: win them over for no reason. They will go out 91 00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:49,960 Speaker 2: of their way to be good to you. They'd been 92 00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:54,400 Speaker 2: ordained by God to move you into your destiny. You 93 00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:56,920 Speaker 2: don't have to worry about how it's going to work out. 94 00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:01,320 Speaker 2: God can cause one person to like it, one person 95 00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:04,760 Speaker 2: to say promote them, give them the position, and suddenly 96 00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:07,760 Speaker 2: you'll go to a new level. And instead of thinking 97 00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:10,680 Speaker 2: it's a long way off, I don't see how it 98 00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:14,280 Speaker 2: can ever happen, turn it around. Father. Thank you that 99 00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:17,720 Speaker 2: I'm just one good breakaway. Thank you that one touch 100 00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:20,720 Speaker 2: of your goodness and things will change in my favor. 101 00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:23,880 Speaker 2: Do you know how we got the Compact Center? Just 102 00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:27,480 Speaker 2: one phone call? That's how it all started. We were 103 00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:31,600 Speaker 2: trying to build a new auditorium, but twice the property 104 00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:34,760 Speaker 2: we found was sold out from under us. I was 105 00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:39,040 Speaker 2: disappointed we couldn't find any more land. But when something 106 00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:43,040 Speaker 2: doesn't work out your way, it's because God has something 107 00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:46,240 Speaker 2: better in store. You may not be able to see 108 00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:48,520 Speaker 2: it at the time, but that's when you have to 109 00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:53,000 Speaker 2: trust him. One afternoon, I was at the office minding 110 00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:56,760 Speaker 2: my own business, A friend called that I hadn't spoken 111 00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:59,320 Speaker 2: to in a couple of years. He said, Joel, I 112 00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:02,880 Speaker 2: have an idea yet. Let's go to lunch the next day. 113 00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:06,920 Speaker 2: At lunch, he told how the Rockets basketball team was 114 00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:10,440 Speaker 2: moving out of the Compact Center and how Lakewood should 115 00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:14,120 Speaker 2: try to purchase it. When I heard that something came 116 00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:17,400 Speaker 2: alive on the inside, I knew we were supposed to 117 00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:21,480 Speaker 2: pursue it. Well, the city owned this building. So when 118 00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:24,640 Speaker 2: I got back from lunch, I called the mayor. He 119 00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:27,080 Speaker 2: was a friend of our family. I told him that 120 00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:30,920 Speaker 2: we were interested. He said, Joel, I think Lakewood having 121 00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:34,320 Speaker 2: the Compact Center would be great for the city of Houston. 122 00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:38,720 Speaker 2: God knows how to have the right people before you. 123 00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:43,280 Speaker 2: Those two owners that sold the property out from under us, 124 00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:47,640 Speaker 2: I didn't like it. It didn't seem fair. The truth is, 125 00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:51,120 Speaker 2: it wasn't their choice. It was the hand of God. 126 00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:55,000 Speaker 2: They weren't supposed to be for us. If they would 127 00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:57,560 Speaker 2: have done what I wanted, we would have missed out 128 00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:01,480 Speaker 2: on the Compact Center. When somebody is not for you, 129 00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:05,279 Speaker 2: don't get bent out of shape. God has the right 130 00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:08,680 Speaker 2: people already lined up that will want to help you. 131 00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:12,640 Speaker 2: People that are ordained to open doors that you couldn't open. 132 00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:16,280 Speaker 2: People that will use their influence to thrust you ahead. 133 00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:19,640 Speaker 2: But there were some people that didn't want us to 134 00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:23,400 Speaker 2: have the Compact Center, Critics that said it wasn't a 135 00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:26,920 Speaker 2: good fit. They brought opposition and tried to stop us. 136 00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:30,520 Speaker 2: But the mayor was in charge of the city. He 137 00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:34,440 Speaker 2: set the agenda. Him being for us is what kept 138 00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:38,240 Speaker 2: all the opposition from stopping us. Every time they tried 139 00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:41,400 Speaker 2: to keep it from happening, he would adjust something in 140 00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:45,960 Speaker 2: our favor and we'd keep moving forward. I've learned you 141 00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:48,960 Speaker 2: don't need everyone to be for you, You just need 142 00:07:49,080 --> 00:07:52,440 Speaker 2: the right people to be for you. It just so 143 00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:55,720 Speaker 2: happened the man that liked us, he was in charge, 144 00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:59,520 Speaker 2: he ran the city. God is going to cause people 145 00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:03,160 Speaker 2: to be before you that are in a position of authority, 146 00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:07,360 Speaker 2: people that can override your critics, people that will cause 147 00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:11,920 Speaker 2: things to fall into place. When we moved into this facility, 148 00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:16,160 Speaker 2: it catapulted us ahead, not just in the number of 149 00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:20,960 Speaker 2: people attending, but in influence, in credibility. It put us 150 00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:24,240 Speaker 2: fifty years down the road. People didn't look at us 151 00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:27,760 Speaker 2: the same way. Growing up, Lakewood was on the other 152 00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:31,440 Speaker 2: side of town where it was more industrial, and over 153 00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:34,600 Speaker 2: the years it had become more run down. For years, 154 00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:39,000 Speaker 2: Lakewood was in metal buildings with metal folding chairs, a 155 00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:43,080 Speaker 2: gravel parking lot. We had portable wood buildings for our 156 00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:46,920 Speaker 2: nurseries and kids' facilities. We were seen by some people 157 00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:51,479 Speaker 2: as second class. They can't afford much, they're at a disadvantage. 158 00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:54,719 Speaker 2: But when we moved into this place, it was like 159 00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:58,800 Speaker 2: coming out of the wilderness into the promised land. This 160 00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:02,240 Speaker 2: building is on one of the busiest freeways in the nation, 161 00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:06,080 Speaker 2: one of the nicest areas of town. The Rockets had 162 00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:09,760 Speaker 2: won two World championships here and now it's Lakewood. That 163 00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:13,360 Speaker 2: one good break caused people to see us in a 164 00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:17,760 Speaker 2: totally different light, with a whole new respect. You may 165 00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:21,280 Speaker 2: feel like you're falling behind. You could never accomplish what 166 00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:24,040 Speaker 2: God put in your heart. You're still in the metal buildings. 167 00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:27,720 Speaker 2: Other people discount you, don't give your credit. Don't worry. 168 00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:31,360 Speaker 2: God knows how to make up for lost time. Just 169 00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:35,280 Speaker 2: one touch of his favor will catapult you years ahead. 170 00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:39,760 Speaker 2: Just one person opening a door, just one phone call 171 00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:42,120 Speaker 2: out of the blue, and you look up and you're 172 00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:45,520 Speaker 2: fifty years down the road. You're not in the portable building, 173 00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:48,880 Speaker 2: you're in the compact center. You're not in the rundown area. 174 00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:52,400 Speaker 2: You're on the main freeway. People don't discount you anymore. 175 00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:55,439 Speaker 2: Now they look up to you. God is going to 176 00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:58,640 Speaker 2: cause you to be seen in a new light. He's 177 00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:02,800 Speaker 2: going to give you respect, credibility, influence. That's going to 178 00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:05,559 Speaker 2: make up for the time it looks like you've lost. 179 00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:10,079 Speaker 2: But those years where you were not being noticed, not 180 00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:14,199 Speaker 2: seeing good breaks, not having much influence, those were proving 181 00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:17,880 Speaker 2: years where you were showing God you could be trusted. 182 00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:20,800 Speaker 2: Where you did the right thing when the wrong thing 183 00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:23,920 Speaker 2: was happening, Where you were being your best, when you 184 00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:26,800 Speaker 2: weren't seeing growth, where you were going to work with 185 00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:30,400 Speaker 2: a good attitude even though nobody was giving you credit. 186 00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:36,240 Speaker 2: Those were important years. Without you being faithful and showing 187 00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:39,600 Speaker 2: God that you could be trusted, you wouldn't be ready 188 00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:42,480 Speaker 2: for what God has in store. You have to be 189 00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:47,079 Speaker 2: prepared for where God is taking you. You're not falling behind. 190 00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:51,120 Speaker 2: You're in training. If it's taken longer than you thought, 191 00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:55,480 Speaker 2: it's because God has something big in your future. Don't 192 00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:58,959 Speaker 2: slack off, don't get tired of doing the right thing. 193 00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:03,680 Speaker 2: If you'll keep passing the test. The scripture says, your 194 00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:07,520 Speaker 2: due season is coming. That means God's not only going 195 00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:10,199 Speaker 2: to bring you out, He's going to thrust you ahead. 196 00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:14,800 Speaker 2: You're going to come out promoted, increased, further than you've 197 00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:18,800 Speaker 2: ever imagined. As a teenager, David was out in the 198 00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:23,160 Speaker 2: shepherd's fields taking care of his father's sheep. It was boring. 199 00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:26,640 Speaker 2: David had big dreams in his heart. He knew he 200 00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:29,440 Speaker 2: was going to leave his mark. But year after year, 201 00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:32,800 Speaker 2: all he did was feed the sheep, clean up their waist, 202 00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:37,640 Speaker 2: make sure that they were protected. It was dirty, smelly, lonely. 203 00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:42,040 Speaker 2: Nobody thanked him. Nobody knew that he killed a lion 204 00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:45,640 Speaker 2: and a bear to protect those animals. He could have 205 00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:49,640 Speaker 2: slacked off, had a bad attitude God, it's not fair, 206 00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:54,559 Speaker 2: I'm wasting time out here. Instead, he kept passing the test, 207 00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:59,079 Speaker 2: doing the right thing when nothing was changing. One day, 208 00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:02,680 Speaker 2: the prophet sam Emuel came to his house to anoint 209 00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:07,000 Speaker 2: the next king of Israel. He looked at David's seven brothers, 210 00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:11,679 Speaker 2: who were older, had more experience, more training. Some of 211 00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:15,200 Speaker 2: them were in the military, big, strong, muscular. They looked 212 00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:19,960 Speaker 2: like a king. Samuel passed by them and eventually came 213 00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:25,640 Speaker 2: to David, the forgotten one, the one that had been overlooked, discounted, 214 00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:28,800 Speaker 2: seen as less than. Samuel said, this is the next 215 00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:33,400 Speaker 2: king of Israel. I'm sure his brothers, his parents nearly 216 00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:37,480 Speaker 2: passed out. You mean David, the shepherd, the youngest, the smallest. 217 00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:41,600 Speaker 2: Are you sure God doesn't choose the way people choose. 218 00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:45,400 Speaker 2: People look on the outside. God looks on the heart. 219 00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:50,719 Speaker 2: God found a man in David. He could trust, a 220 00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:54,360 Speaker 2: man that had proven he'd be faithful when things weren't 221 00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:57,679 Speaker 2: going his way. God knew if he could trust him 222 00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:00,559 Speaker 2: to take care of sheep, he could trust him to 223 00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:05,560 Speaker 2: take care of his people. When God promoted David brought 224 00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:08,760 Speaker 2: him out. He made up for all the years it 225 00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:11,720 Speaker 2: looked like he was losing out in the shepherd's fields. 226 00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:14,520 Speaker 2: He went from being a shepherd to being a king. 227 00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:20,240 Speaker 2: Nobody voted for him. This wasn't a democracy. If it was, 228 00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:23,920 Speaker 2: he wouldn't have received one vote. He wasn't on the radar. 229 00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:27,760 Speaker 2: Nobody in Israel knew who he was. His father didn't 230 00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:31,360 Speaker 2: believe in him, his brothers tried to belittle him. But 231 00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:34,719 Speaker 2: when God is ready to promote you He doesn't take 232 00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:37,640 Speaker 2: a vote. He doesn't check to see who likes you, 233 00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:41,760 Speaker 2: who's for you, how popular you are. It's not a vote, 234 00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:46,320 Speaker 2: it's an appointment. It's up to one person. Not your boss, 235 00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:50,200 Speaker 2: not your neighbors, not your critics, not your relatives. Promotion 236 00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:54,240 Speaker 2: doesn't come from people. It comes from the Lord. When 237 00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:57,439 Speaker 2: it's your time to be promoted, no person can stop you, 238 00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:02,079 Speaker 2: no bad break, no disappoint no enemy. God has the 239 00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:06,600 Speaker 2: one and only vote. He has the final say. Now, 240 00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:10,360 Speaker 2: quit worrying about who's not for you. Why won't these 241 00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:13,920 Speaker 2: people give me credit, Joel, I'd be further along if 242 00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:16,920 Speaker 2: my coworkers would quit leaving me out. Can I tell 243 00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:21,640 Speaker 2: you your coworkers can't hold you back. Other people cannot 244 00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:25,880 Speaker 2: keep you from your destiny. They didn't know you before 245 00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:28,880 Speaker 2: you were formed in your mother's womb. They didn't lay 246 00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:31,560 Speaker 2: out the plan for your life. They didn't crown you 247 00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:35,280 Speaker 2: with favor, they didn't put seeds of greatness on the inside. 248 00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:39,440 Speaker 2: Quit focusing on who's not for you, and start focusing 249 00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:43,400 Speaker 2: on who is for you. The most High God, the 250 00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:48,160 Speaker 2: creator of the universe, the one who spoke worlds into existence, 251 00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:51,560 Speaker 2: is breathing in your direction. He has you in the 252 00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:54,840 Speaker 2: palm of his hand. His plans for you are for good. 253 00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:57,920 Speaker 2: Him being for you is more than the world being 254 00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:01,760 Speaker 2: against you. David's life was set on a new course 255 00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:05,640 Speaker 2: by just one person. When Samuel came to his house 256 00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:09,520 Speaker 2: and anointed him king. His whole world changed. And what's 257 00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:13,960 Speaker 2: interesting is David didn't have to go after Samuel. Samuel 258 00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:17,680 Speaker 2: came after David. You don't have to go after the blessing. 259 00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:20,880 Speaker 2: Keep honoring God, and the blessing will come to you. 260 00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:24,760 Speaker 2: The phone call will come to you, the compact center 261 00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:27,720 Speaker 2: will come to you. The right person, the healing, the 262 00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:32,520 Speaker 2: promotion will find you. We spend too much time trying 263 00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:36,120 Speaker 2: to make things happen. Then we get frustrated because it's 264 00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:40,000 Speaker 2: taking so long. But you can't make things happen out 265 00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:43,800 Speaker 2: of God's timing. You can't make people like you who 266 00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:46,760 Speaker 2: are not supposed to like you. You can't open a 267 00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:50,560 Speaker 2: door that God has closed. I tried to buy the 268 00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:54,960 Speaker 2: property to build the sanctuary. I did my best. I 269 00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:59,200 Speaker 2: was nice to those two owners. I smiled my biggest smile, 270 00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:02,720 Speaker 2: thanked them in advance for selling it to us, no 271 00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:06,440 Speaker 2: matter how charming I was or how much money we offered, 272 00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:10,600 Speaker 2: that door wasn't going to open. Stay in peace, knowing 273 00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:13,680 Speaker 2: that God will cause the right people to find you. 274 00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:18,200 Speaker 2: The right breaks will track you down, the right opportunities 275 00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:21,040 Speaker 2: will come knocking at your door. When it's your time, 276 00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:26,560 Speaker 2: Samuel will show up. David's father tried to convince Samuel 277 00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:30,200 Speaker 2: to anoint one of his other seven sons. He thought 278 00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:34,000 Speaker 2: David was too small, too young, too inexperienced. But no 279 00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:37,840 Speaker 2: matter how hard he tried, Samuel wouldn't do it. God 280 00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:41,200 Speaker 2: was showing us, what has your name on it won't 281 00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:45,720 Speaker 2: go to anyone else. Quit being upset because that coworker 282 00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:48,760 Speaker 2: got the promotion that you really wanted. If it was 283 00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:52,040 Speaker 2: supposed to be yours, you would have gotten it. Or 284 00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:55,120 Speaker 2: that friend married that man that you really liked. That 285 00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:58,440 Speaker 2: doesn't seem fair. Now we're getting real. That doesn't seem fair. 286 00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:01,000 Speaker 2: If you were supposed to to marry him, than she 287 00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:04,760 Speaker 2: wouldn't have. That means that God has somebody better for you. 288 00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:09,840 Speaker 2: I've learned you don't want what's not supposed to be yours. 289 00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:13,320 Speaker 2: There's no grace for it. One time I wanted a 290 00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:17,359 Speaker 2: business opportunity so badly I did everything I could to 291 00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:21,159 Speaker 2: make it happen. Sometimes God will close the door that 292 00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:24,639 Speaker 2: we can't open. But there are times if we're so 293 00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:28,280 Speaker 2: stubborn and it's not going to stop our destiny, God 294 00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:31,240 Speaker 2: will let us have it our way. And we obtained 295 00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:34,440 Speaker 2: this business. But it wasn't what I thought was a 296 00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:38,240 Speaker 2: constant headache, never really got off the ground, drained our time, 297 00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:43,159 Speaker 2: energy resources. Now my attitude is God. If it doesn't 298 00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:46,320 Speaker 2: have my name on it, I don't want it. If 299 00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:49,359 Speaker 2: it's not supposed to be yours, you're not going to 300 00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:52,480 Speaker 2: have a grace for it. Don't try to beat the 301 00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:56,720 Speaker 2: door down. Be determined, pursue your dreams, but be smart 302 00:17:56,840 --> 00:18:00,240 Speaker 2: enough to realize what God wants to be yours will 303 00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:04,280 Speaker 2: come to you. It won't be a constant struggle. Yes 304 00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:07,720 Speaker 2: there'll be opposition. Yes you'll have to work hard, you'll 305 00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:10,280 Speaker 2: have to fight the good fight of faith. But there 306 00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:13,840 Speaker 2: will be a grace that causes things to fall into place. 307 00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:18,720 Speaker 2: The Psalmist said, God will work out his plan for 308 00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:21,879 Speaker 2: your life. You don't have to work it out. You 309 00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:26,480 Speaker 2: don't have to struggle, live worried, try to fix every problem, 310 00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:30,520 Speaker 2: straighten out every enemy, make everything happen. In your own strength, 311 00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:34,480 Speaker 2: you can live from a place of rest, knowing that 312 00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:38,320 Speaker 2: God is not only fighting your battles, but he's lined 313 00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:41,520 Speaker 2: up the breaks you need. He has the right people 314 00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:45,639 Speaker 2: that will help you. He has solutions to problems that 315 00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:48,880 Speaker 2: you can't see right now. He's already figured out how 316 00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:52,080 Speaker 2: to solve it. Don't waste your time worrying. He's on 317 00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:55,400 Speaker 2: the throne. He can see things you can't see. He's 318 00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:58,960 Speaker 2: promised he will work out his plan for your life. 319 00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:02,240 Speaker 2: I received a letter from a young lady that lives 320 00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:06,240 Speaker 2: in Africa. Her dream was to get her doctorate degree 321 00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:09,840 Speaker 2: so she could become a college professor. She'd finished her 322 00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:14,000 Speaker 2: master's degree and was preparing for the final exams to 323 00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:17,879 Speaker 2: get into the doctorate program when her landlord told her 324 00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:20,600 Speaker 2: she had to move out of the apartment where she 325 00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:23,640 Speaker 2: was living. He broke the lease in just a couple 326 00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:26,520 Speaker 2: of days. She had to leave that place and move 327 00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:29,879 Speaker 2: into the dorm. This all happened in the middle of 328 00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:34,200 Speaker 2: final exams. Through her often she couldn't study like she 329 00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:37,240 Speaker 2: had hoped. She ended up being turned down by the 330 00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:40,879 Speaker 2: main university where she wanted to attend. She was not 331 00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:45,080 Speaker 2: only disappointed in herself, she was angry at the landlord 332 00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:48,720 Speaker 2: for making her leave, especially at that time she was 333 00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:51,920 Speaker 2: about to meet with an attorney and take legal action 334 00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:56,440 Speaker 2: against him. She always watches our podcast. My message that 335 00:19:56,600 --> 00:20:00,320 Speaker 2: week happened to be called You Have a Defender. I 336 00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:04,200 Speaker 2: talked about how we all have unfair things happen, but 337 00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:06,879 Speaker 2: God wouldn't have allowed it if he wasn't going to 338 00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:10,400 Speaker 2: somehow use it for your good, and how God can 339 00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:14,359 Speaker 2: vindicate us better than we can vindicate ourselves. She knew 340 00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:16,639 Speaker 2: that was God speaking to her. She let it go. 341 00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:22,480 Speaker 2: After being turned down by sixteen universities, she applied to 342 00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:27,000 Speaker 2: a very prestigious university in Italy. They really liked her, 343 00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:30,119 Speaker 2: but they had twelve people on the waiting list in 344 00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:34,359 Speaker 2: front of her. They told her, unfortunately, she wouldn't be accepted. 345 00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:38,280 Speaker 2: Two weeks later, they emailed back and said, we've never 346 00:20:38,440 --> 00:20:42,359 Speaker 2: done this before, but we've changed our mind and opened 347 00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:47,959 Speaker 2: up a position just for you. When she arrived, they 348 00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:52,240 Speaker 2: informed her, out of hundreds of doctorate students, she was 349 00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:55,400 Speaker 2: one of the six chosen to be in the Advanced 350 00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:58,920 Speaker 2: Studies program. That meant she would not only receive a 351 00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:02,399 Speaker 2: full scholarship, but she wouldn't have to live in the dorm. 352 00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:06,280 Speaker 2: She would have her own executive apartment in a beautiful 353 00:21:06,359 --> 00:21:11,200 Speaker 2: neighborhood close to the university. Her mind went back to 354 00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:14,520 Speaker 2: the man breaking the lease making her leave her apartment. 355 00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:17,600 Speaker 2: How she thought that was setting her back, when in 356 00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:21,560 Speaker 2: fact it was setting her up. God knows how to 357 00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:24,879 Speaker 2: work out his plan for your life. It may not 358 00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:27,760 Speaker 2: seem like it's going to happen, but you're just one 359 00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:32,320 Speaker 2: good breakaway, Just one university saying we've changed our mind, 360 00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:36,199 Speaker 2: Just one Samuel showing up, Just one phone call saying hey, 361 00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:39,240 Speaker 2: the Compact Center is available. You'll look back and say 362 00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:42,800 Speaker 2: like her, Wow, God, you've amazed me with your goodness. 363 00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:47,320 Speaker 2: David said, I have pitched my tent in the land 364 00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:51,199 Speaker 2: of Hope. My question is where have you pitched your 365 00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:54,560 Speaker 2: tenth Well, Joel, I've had a lot of disappointments. I'll 366 00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:57,600 Speaker 2: never get well. I can't accomplish my dreams. It's been 367 00:21:57,680 --> 00:22:01,440 Speaker 2: too long. The problem is not that God can't do it. 368 00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:05,520 Speaker 2: The problem is where you pitch your tent. As long 369 00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:07,879 Speaker 2: as you're thinking of all the reasons why it's not 370 00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:11,280 Speaker 2: going to happen, how impossible it is, that's going to 371 00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:14,760 Speaker 2: limit you. Why don't you do yourself a favor, pull 372 00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:18,080 Speaker 2: up your stakes, pick up your tent. Move out of 373 00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:22,359 Speaker 2: the land of doubt, negativity, self pity. Move out of 374 00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:25,280 Speaker 2: the land of it can't happen. I'm too old, I 375 00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:28,680 Speaker 2: never get any good breaks. That's the wrong neighborhood. Get 376 00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:31,440 Speaker 2: out of that place and pitch your tent. In the 377 00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:34,840 Speaker 2: land of With God, all things are possible. The land 378 00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:39,040 Speaker 2: of goodness and mercy are chasing me down, the land 379 00:22:39,119 --> 00:22:42,439 Speaker 2: of what was meant for my harm. God is turning 380 00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:46,080 Speaker 2: to my advantage. You are just one good break away 381 00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:49,960 Speaker 2: from God catapulting you to a new level. Just one 382 00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:53,320 Speaker 2: right person showing you favor will change the course of 383 00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:56,640 Speaker 2: your life. Just one touch of God's goodness and you'll 384 00:22:56,680 --> 00:22:59,760 Speaker 2: beat the cancer, You'll break the addiction. You'll see your 385 00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:04,000 Speaker 2: fan restored. In Acts, chapter three, there was a man 386 00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:08,080 Speaker 2: that had been crippled since birth. Every day his family 387 00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:11,080 Speaker 2: would carry him to the temple and set him beside 388 00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:13,879 Speaker 2: the gate so he could beg He'd been doing this 389 00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:17,600 Speaker 2: for years. One day Peter and John came walking by. 390 00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:21,560 Speaker 2: The man held out his cup wanting something. Peter said, 391 00:23:21,560 --> 00:23:24,440 Speaker 2: I'm sorry, we don't have any money for you, but 392 00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:28,040 Speaker 2: in the name of Jesus, rise and walk. Peter took 393 00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:30,560 Speaker 2: him by the hand, pulled the man up. Instantly, he 394 00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:34,359 Speaker 2: was healed. He was so excited he took off running 395 00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:38,600 Speaker 2: through the temple, thanking God. Here's my point. When the 396 00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:41,840 Speaker 2: man woke up that morning, he thought it was just 397 00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:45,600 Speaker 2: another ordinary day. He'd go to the temple, sit by 398 00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:48,680 Speaker 2: the gate and beg like he'd done for years. He 399 00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:52,040 Speaker 2: had no idea when he went to bed that night 400 00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:55,720 Speaker 2: he would be able to walk. He didn't realize he 401 00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:59,480 Speaker 2: was just one good break away from having his whole 402 00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:04,960 Speaker 2: life changed, just one person ordained by God to speak healing, 403 00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:08,280 Speaker 2: and he would do something he was told he could 404 00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:12,240 Speaker 2: never do. You may have some big obstacles in your 405 00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:14,960 Speaker 2: path today, things that have held you back for a 406 00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:20,200 Speaker 2: long time. A sickness, an addiction, depression, loneliness. Doesn't seem 407 00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:24,399 Speaker 2: like it'll ever change. You could get comfortable accept it. No, 408 00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:28,680 Speaker 2: get ready, God is about to surprise you. He's already 409 00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:32,720 Speaker 2: spoken to the right people. He's already lined up the healing, 410 00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:37,359 Speaker 2: the freedom, the promotion. It's going to happen suddenly. You 411 00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:41,040 Speaker 2: didn't see it coming. You woke up one morning expecting 412 00:24:41,119 --> 00:24:44,480 Speaker 2: more of the same. You never dreamed when you went 413 00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:49,159 Speaker 2: to bed that night, you would be healed, free, promoted, vindicated. 414 00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:52,840 Speaker 2: The good news is it could happen today. It could 415 00:24:52,880 --> 00:24:56,760 Speaker 2: happen this week, this month. Your whole world could change 416 00:24:56,840 --> 00:24:59,960 Speaker 2: for the better. Now do your part. Pitch your tear 417 00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:03,359 Speaker 2: in the land of hope. Give God something to work with. 418 00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:07,280 Speaker 2: That's not just being positive, that's your faith being released. 419 00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:11,679 Speaker 2: When the people saw this man up running, celebrating, they 420 00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:14,200 Speaker 2: looked at each other and said, isn't this the guy 421 00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:17,399 Speaker 2: that's been begging by the gate for the last forty years. 422 00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:21,280 Speaker 2: They couldn't believe it. The scripture says they were astonished. 423 00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:25,240 Speaker 2: God has some things in your future that are not 424 00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:28,639 Speaker 2: only going to leave you amazed, but people around you 425 00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:32,760 Speaker 2: are going to be amazed. You were not created to 426 00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:38,280 Speaker 2: live in dysfunction, with addictions, constantly struggling. That may be 427 00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:40,879 Speaker 2: how it's been in the past, but that's not how 428 00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:43,680 Speaker 2: it's going to be in the future. God's about to 429 00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:47,520 Speaker 2: do a new thing. He's going to break bondages that 430 00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:50,320 Speaker 2: have held you back. He's going to free you from 431 00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:53,760 Speaker 2: those addictions. He's going to increase you to where you 432 00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:58,119 Speaker 2: have more than enough that sickness is not permanent healing 433 00:25:58,280 --> 00:26:02,040 Speaker 2: is coming, Wholeness is on the victory is in your future. 434 00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:05,880 Speaker 2: I talked to a young man that was on dialysis. 435 00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:09,320 Speaker 2: He was in his early thirties. Three days a week, 436 00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:11,560 Speaker 2: four or five hours a day, he would have to 437 00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:14,600 Speaker 2: go up to the clinic. My father was on dialysis 438 00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:16,679 Speaker 2: the end of his life, and I took him up 439 00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:19,080 Speaker 2: to the clinic a lot, and you don't see many 440 00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:22,280 Speaker 2: people in their thirties. My heart went out to him 441 00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:25,920 Speaker 2: because that's not an easy thing. He told how he 442 00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:29,440 Speaker 2: had had this problem since childhood. He wasn't a candidate 443 00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:32,800 Speaker 2: for a transplant, had a great attitude, still went to 444 00:26:32,880 --> 00:26:35,680 Speaker 2: work every day, and we prayed that God would not 445 00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:39,000 Speaker 2: only help him fulfill his destiny, but that God would 446 00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:42,439 Speaker 2: make a way where we didn't see. Away saw him 447 00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:44,800 Speaker 2: a couple of years later. He said, Joel, you'll never 448 00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:48,840 Speaker 2: believe what happened. For years, doctors had told him that 449 00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:52,600 Speaker 2: he couldn't have a transplant, but this one doctor took 450 00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:56,600 Speaker 2: a special interest in him, studied his case. Said, I 451 00:26:56,640 --> 00:26:59,040 Speaker 2: can see why nobody wants to take the risk, but 452 00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:02,359 Speaker 2: this is what I spent shallize in One night, at 453 00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:05,280 Speaker 2: one o'clock in the morning, he received a phone call 454 00:27:05,359 --> 00:27:08,879 Speaker 2: from the doctor saying, be at the hospital tomorrow morning 455 00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:11,720 Speaker 2: at six. I have a kidney for you. The man 456 00:27:11,960 --> 00:27:15,280 Speaker 2: was beaming with joy. He said, Joel, I'm not on 457 00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:19,680 Speaker 2: dialysis anymore. I have a new kidney. One touch of 458 00:27:19,800 --> 00:27:23,800 Speaker 2: God's favor and his whole world changed. One doctor going 459 00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:26,480 Speaker 2: out of his way to be good to him.
