I like to start with something funny, 51 00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:32,799 Speaker 4: and I heard about this ninety two year old man. 52 00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:35,520 Speaker 4: He wasn't feeling up to par so he went to 53 00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:38,560 Speaker 4: the doctor. A few days later. The doctor saw him 54 00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:41,560 Speaker 4: out in the park with this beautiful young lady by 55 00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:44,080 Speaker 4: his side, and he seemed as happy as can be. 56 00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:47,040 Speaker 4: The doctor said, Wow, you sure are feeling a lot better, 57 00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:50,680 Speaker 4: aren't you. He said, yes, Doctor, I'm just following your orders. 58 00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:54,720 Speaker 4: You said, get a hot mama and stay cheerful. The 59 00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:56,880 Speaker 4: doctor said, I didn't say that. I said you got 60 00:02:56,880 --> 00:03:01,440 Speaker 4: a heart murmur, be careful. He heard what he wanted 61 00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:04,360 Speaker 4: to hear. But here we go. This is my Bible. 62 00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:07,120 Speaker 4: I am what it says I am. I have what 63 00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:09,640 Speaker 4: it says I have. I can do what it says 64 00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:12,400 Speaker 4: I can do. Today I will be taught the word 65 00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:16,640 Speaker 4: of God. I'll boldly confess my mind is alert, my 66 00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:21,040 Speaker 4: heart is receptive. I will never be the same. In Jesus' name, 67 00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:24,760 Speaker 4: God bless you. I want to talk to you today 68 00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:29,320 Speaker 4: about windows of grace. There are times we're going along 69 00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:33,680 Speaker 4: and minding our own business, and suddenly we know something 70 00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:37,360 Speaker 4: we're supposed to do. We feel it so strongly in 71 00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:41,680 Speaker 4: our spirit, this urging telling us to forgive the person 72 00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:45,600 Speaker 4: that hurt us. Or we've struggled with an addiction for years, 73 00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:48,960 Speaker 4: but suddenly we have a new desire to get free. 74 00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:53,280 Speaker 4: We've been dreaming about starting our own business, writing that book. 75 00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:57,040 Speaker 4: All of a sudden, we know it's our time. Those 76 00:03:57,120 --> 00:04:00,920 Speaker 4: are not just nice thoughts. That's God's speaking to us. 77 00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:04,840 Speaker 4: He doesn't ask us to do something and then doesn't 78 00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:08,560 Speaker 4: give us the ability to do it. With that urging, 79 00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:13,560 Speaker 4: you'll feel faith rising up. You'll have the favor, the determination, 80 00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:17,000 Speaker 4: the strength to do what you couldn't do before. But 81 00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:21,000 Speaker 4: here's the key. It's a window of grace. It's not 82 00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:24,880 Speaker 4: going to last forever. Too often we hear the still 83 00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:28,120 Speaker 4: small voice, but we put it off. I know I 84 00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:31,520 Speaker 4: need to forgive, but I'll do it later. I know 85 00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:34,240 Speaker 4: I need to get in shape, take care of my health. 86 00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:38,040 Speaker 4: I'll do it soon. I feel this new passion, new 87 00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:41,080 Speaker 4: confidence to step up and lead my department. One day 88 00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:44,560 Speaker 4: I'm going to do it. The problem is that window 89 00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:48,640 Speaker 4: is going to close. Don't take the grace for granted. 90 00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:52,400 Speaker 4: That is a destiny moment where God is making a 91 00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:55,760 Speaker 4: way where you can come up higher. When you feel 92 00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:59,640 Speaker 4: that faith, you have to step into it. That's God saying, 93 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:03,560 Speaker 4: this is your time, this is your moment. The scripture 94 00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:08,359 Speaker 4: says today, if you hear his voice, harden not your heart. 95 00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:12,600 Speaker 4: That's not just talking about salvation. When you hear his 96 00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:16,560 Speaker 4: voice telling you to have a better attitude, to treat 97 00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:21,120 Speaker 4: your spouse more respectfully, to tithe your income. The reason 98 00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:24,920 Speaker 4: it's so strong is God is opening a window of grace. 99 00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:29,560 Speaker 4: That's the time to obey. Not tomorrow, not next week, 100 00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:34,200 Speaker 4: but right then. When that window opens, you'll feel a 101 00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:38,720 Speaker 4: divine empowerment God breathing on you in a new way. 102 00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:42,599 Speaker 4: You will have the grace to forgive, the confidence to 103 00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:46,600 Speaker 4: step up, the favor to succeed. A friend of mine 104 00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:49,840 Speaker 4: struggled with smoking since high schooling. He was in his 105 00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:53,040 Speaker 4: forties and he didn't like to smoke. He had tried 106 00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:56,719 Speaker 4: to stop many times but wasn't able to. He finally 107 00:05:56,760 --> 00:06:00,159 Speaker 4: had accepted it that was his lot in life. But 108 00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:04,039 Speaker 4: one morning he woke up and felt so strongly that 109 00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:07,280 Speaker 4: this was his time to stop smoking. He had a 110 00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:11,799 Speaker 4: new determination, a new passion. He said, I've never felt 111 00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:14,920 Speaker 4: faith like this. He knew he was going to break it. 112 00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:19,599 Speaker 4: The problem is he kept putting it off, saying tomorrow, 113 00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:23,360 Speaker 4: I'm going to get started. Tomorrow would come. He felt 114 00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:26,719 Speaker 4: it just as strongly. Later, I'm going to get serious. 115 00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:30,000 Speaker 4: First week went by, he didn't feel it quite as much. 116 00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:33,760 Speaker 4: Then a month went by, still hadn't done anything. Now 117 00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:36,760 Speaker 4: he barely had the desire to stop. A couple of 118 00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:39,280 Speaker 4: months later, he was back to thinking that he could 119 00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:42,760 Speaker 4: never break it. He said, I know I could have stopped. 120 00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:46,159 Speaker 4: I know God was talking to me, but I missed 121 00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:51,560 Speaker 4: my season. That window doesn't last forever. There is a 122 00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:55,240 Speaker 4: limited time. God gives you an opportunity to come up 123 00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:58,800 Speaker 4: higher when you have the faith for it. That's the 124 00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:03,159 Speaker 4: time to act. Don't make excuses, don't put it off. 125 00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:07,080 Speaker 4: Later I'll get serious. You're not always going to feel 126 00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:10,720 Speaker 4: what you're feeling. That grace is on you for a 127 00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:14,480 Speaker 4: season to help you accomplish what God is asking you 128 00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:19,120 Speaker 4: to do. Today. When you hear his voice, obey, step 129 00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:22,880 Speaker 4: into that grace. Take advantage of what God is offering you. 130 00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:27,920 Speaker 4: And if the window closes, yes, God will open another window. 131 00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:32,000 Speaker 4: He's merciful, But you don't know how long it's going 132 00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:35,360 Speaker 4: to be. You don't have time to waste going around 133 00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:39,760 Speaker 4: the mountain again and again. Like the Israelites, they turned 134 00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:44,160 Speaker 4: an eleven day journey to the Promised Land into forty 135 00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:48,560 Speaker 4: years because they kept complaining, talking about how big the 136 00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:52,880 Speaker 4: obstacles were. When God brings something to light that you 137 00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:57,320 Speaker 4: need to deal with a bad attitude, jealousy, saying hurtful things, 138 00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:02,320 Speaker 4: you wouldn't feel that conviction unless the window was opening 139 00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:06,360 Speaker 4: to change. God doesn't ask you to do better and 140 00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:09,200 Speaker 4: then not give you the ability to do it. But 141 00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:12,760 Speaker 4: you have to step into it, dig down deep and 142 00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:16,240 Speaker 4: be more disciplined. Bite your tongue when you feel like 143 00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:20,040 Speaker 4: being disrespectful, keep a smile when you could be sour. 144 00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:24,200 Speaker 4: The grace is there. As you tap into it, you 145 00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:28,640 Speaker 4: will feel a force enabling you, empowering you. What is 146 00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:33,000 Speaker 4: that You're in a window of grace? In the Scripture, 147 00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:37,319 Speaker 4: there's two Greek words used for time. One is chronos. 148 00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:41,000 Speaker 4: It's where we get our word chronological. It deals with 149 00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:46,240 Speaker 4: ordinary time, minutes, hours and days. The second Greek word 150 00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:52,480 Speaker 4: is chiros. It's defined as an opportune moment, a passing 151 00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:57,200 Speaker 4: instant where an opening appears. It has to do with 152 00:08:57,320 --> 00:09:02,480 Speaker 4: an appointed time, with a sea of favor. Now, God 153 00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:07,439 Speaker 4: has already ordained these chiros moments for you. You're going 154 00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:11,440 Speaker 4: to come into opportunity that seems over your head. You'll 155 00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:14,840 Speaker 4: be tempted to shrink back. But God wouldn't have put 156 00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:18,760 Speaker 4: you there if you couldn't do it. It's a chiros moment. 157 00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:22,880 Speaker 4: It's a season of favor. All of a sudden, you 158 00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:26,360 Speaker 4: know you can beat the depression. You know lack and 159 00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:29,920 Speaker 4: struggle is not your destiny. You feel faith rising up. 160 00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:35,680 Speaker 4: Those are not just encouraging feelings. That is a chiros moment, 161 00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:41,520 Speaker 4: a season of favor that God has specifically designed for you. 162 00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:45,400 Speaker 4: If you will step into it, doors will open that 163 00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:49,360 Speaker 4: you couldn't open. Bad habits, addictions that have held you 164 00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:53,960 Speaker 4: back will be broken. Now get ready for some chiros moments, 165 00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:56,920 Speaker 4: moments that are going to thrust you ahead. And when 166 00:09:57,000 --> 00:10:01,280 Speaker 4: they come, don't be intimidated that all most may be big, 167 00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:04,640 Speaker 4: but our God is much bigger. He would not have 168 00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:07,840 Speaker 4: opened that door if you didn't have the favor to 169 00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:11,840 Speaker 4: walk through it. But it is a window of grace. 170 00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:15,520 Speaker 4: It is not going to last forever. You can't keep 171 00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:18,400 Speaker 4: putting it off and expect it to be there in 172 00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:21,560 Speaker 4: a year. When you feel it, you have to stir 173 00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:24,400 Speaker 4: your faith up. Father, thank you that this is a 174 00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:32,960 Speaker 4: new day, that I am stepping into new levels of favor, discipline, anointing, creativity, strength, energy, 175 00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:35,640 Speaker 4: and that every force is trying to stop me is 176 00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:39,880 Speaker 4: being broken. Get in agreement with God. He will open 177 00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:42,640 Speaker 4: the window, but you have to take advantage of it. 178 00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:46,240 Speaker 4: This is where the Israelites missed it. They had been 179 00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:49,840 Speaker 4: in slavery for many years. God brought them out and 180 00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:53,160 Speaker 4: they were headed toward the Promised Land. They made it 181 00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:57,040 Speaker 4: through the desert, fought off enemies along the way. They 182 00:10:57,080 --> 00:11:00,440 Speaker 4: finally came to the land flowing with milk and honey. 183 00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:04,319 Speaker 4: They were camped next door to the Promised Land. This 184 00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:07,319 Speaker 4: is what they had been dreaming about. All they had 185 00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:10,160 Speaker 4: to do was go in and take the land. God 186 00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:13,640 Speaker 4: had already promised them the victory. This was one of 187 00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:18,080 Speaker 4: their Chiros moments. An incredible door was about to open, 188 00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:22,840 Speaker 4: an opportunity of a lifetime. And with those chiros moments 189 00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:27,320 Speaker 4: comes the favor to accomplish, the power to overcome, the 190 00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:32,199 Speaker 4: strength to defeat the opposition. The problem is the Israelites 191 00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:35,760 Speaker 4: didn't recognize that they were in a window of grace. 192 00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:40,320 Speaker 4: They said, Moses, these people are too big, will never 193 00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:44,720 Speaker 4: defeat them. We feel like grasshoppers compared to them. Let's 194 00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:48,560 Speaker 4: go back to Egypt. Even though God promised to take 195 00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:51,320 Speaker 4: them into the land, even though they were in this 196 00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:54,920 Speaker 4: Chiro's moment where they had the favor, the power, the strength, 197 00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:59,120 Speaker 4: they turned around and headed back into the desert. They 198 00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:02,880 Speaker 4: didn't understand and that God doesn't give you the opportunity 199 00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:05,679 Speaker 4: and then not give you the grace to do it. 200 00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:09,760 Speaker 4: You may be facing big giants, but the favor on 201 00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:13,040 Speaker 4: your life is bigger than whatever's trying to stop you. 202 00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:17,319 Speaker 4: God was so put out with the Israelites he told 203 00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:20,360 Speaker 4: Moses that they were never going to enter into the 204 00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:25,040 Speaker 4: Promised Land. Moses told the people what God said, how 205 00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:29,600 Speaker 4: they were limiting their destiny. Being weak and intimidated. The 206 00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:33,200 Speaker 4: scripture says, they turned around and headed back toward the 207 00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:38,000 Speaker 4: Promised Land. They said, Moses, we realize we've made a mistake. 208 00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:41,560 Speaker 4: Now we are ready to go into the land. God 209 00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:45,560 Speaker 4: promised you would think. Moses would say, good, you finally 210 00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:49,000 Speaker 4: changed your mind. Let's go in. Moses said to them, 211 00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:52,200 Speaker 4: do not enter the land now, or you will be 212 00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:57,640 Speaker 4: crushed by your enemies. What happened That window of grace closed, 213 00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:02,960 Speaker 4: that Chiros moment passed. Moses knew if they tried to 214 00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:07,320 Speaker 4: go in outside of God's timing, when that window of 215 00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:11,640 Speaker 4: favor wasn't open, they would be defeated. That's why it's 216 00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:15,680 Speaker 4: so important to not put off what you know. God 217 00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:18,440 Speaker 4: is telling you to do when you feel the urging, 218 00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:22,760 Speaker 4: the knowing, whether it's to break a bad habit or 219 00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:26,160 Speaker 4: to step into something that feels over your head. If 220 00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:30,760 Speaker 4: you keep delaying, the window is going to close. You 221 00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:33,800 Speaker 4: may feel afraid. Your thoughts will tell you all the 222 00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:36,679 Speaker 4: reasons it's not going to work out. You can't accomplish 223 00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:40,480 Speaker 4: that dream. It's too big. You can't forgive that person. 224 00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:44,439 Speaker 4: They hurt you too badly. You've always been negative, critical, 225 00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:47,320 Speaker 4: better that's just who you are. That is not who 226 00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:50,000 Speaker 4: you are. That's why you're hearing this. There is a 227 00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:54,360 Speaker 4: Chiros moment coming. There is a window of grace about 228 00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:58,720 Speaker 4: to open. Now, don't do like them. Put your shoulders back, 229 00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:03,640 Speaker 4: hold your head pie and step into it. God is 230 00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:06,760 Speaker 4: about to take you to a new level. Things that 231 00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:10,440 Speaker 4: have held you back are being defeated. New doors are 232 00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:15,000 Speaker 4: about to open. Giants are about to be defeated. Talent 233 00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:17,160 Speaker 4: is about to come out of you that you didn't 234 00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:20,600 Speaker 4: know you had. You are coming into a season of 235 00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:24,640 Speaker 4: special favor. Yes, you always have favor, but there are 236 00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:28,680 Speaker 4: moments when that favor stands out. You're going to see 237 00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:33,600 Speaker 4: an opportune moment where God thrusts you ahead. Now do 238 00:14:33,760 --> 00:14:38,640 Speaker 4: your part. Start believing that you're favored. Start praying bold prayers. 239 00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:43,080 Speaker 4: Start speaking victory over your life. Don't go around talking 240 00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:45,720 Speaker 4: about how big the giants are and how you'll never 241 00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:49,040 Speaker 4: get weund never meet the right person. Never start your 242 00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:53,960 Speaker 4: own business. Zip that up. Start declaring, this is my time. 243 00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:56,360 Speaker 4: The favor of God is on my life in a 244 00:14:56,400 --> 00:15:00,800 Speaker 4: new way. I have the grace to rise higher, the 245 00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:05,240 Speaker 4: grace to forgive this person, the grace to accomplish my dream, 246 00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:09,480 Speaker 4: the grace to break this addiction. Be bold, be strong. 247 00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:12,800 Speaker 4: The Lord your God is with you. This is what 248 00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:15,520 Speaker 4: I had to do. When my father was seventy seven 249 00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:19,360 Speaker 4: years old, he was at my sister Lisa's house one 250 00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:22,840 Speaker 4: Monday evening to have dinner with Lisa and my mother. 251 00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:26,800 Speaker 4: Lisa had just finished cooking her favorite dish, and right 252 00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:30,960 Speaker 4: before she put those TV dinners on the table, my 253 00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:34,360 Speaker 4: father said to them, I'm going to call Joel and 254 00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:38,560 Speaker 4: see if he'll speak for me this Sunday. My mother laughed, said, John, 255 00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:41,640 Speaker 4: you are wasting your time. Joel is not a minister. 256 00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:45,800 Speaker 4: I had worked seventeen years behind the scenes here at 257 00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:49,800 Speaker 4: Lakewood doing the television production. My father tried to get 258 00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:53,200 Speaker 4: me up to speak many times, but always told him no. 259 00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:57,480 Speaker 4: I didn't have any desire to be in front of people. Plus, 260 00:15:57,560 --> 00:16:00,240 Speaker 4: my father was a great minister, thought, who want to 261 00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:02,120 Speaker 4: listen to me? I don't know what to say. I've 262 00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:05,080 Speaker 4: not been trained in this. I was eating dinner that 263 00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:07,920 Speaker 4: Monday night when my father called. He said, Joel, I 264 00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:10,000 Speaker 4: just wanted to see if you would speak for me 265 00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:14,240 Speaker 4: this Sunday. I had told him no dozens of times. 266 00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:18,000 Speaker 4: I said, Daddy, I'm always honored that you ask, that 267 00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:20,720 Speaker 4: you have that much confidence in me, but I'm just 268 00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:25,240 Speaker 4: not a minister. He never pressured me. He encouraged us 269 00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:28,240 Speaker 4: kids to follow our own dreams. We hung up the 270 00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:31,400 Speaker 4: phone and I sat down to finish eating dinner. A 271 00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:35,360 Speaker 4: couple of minutes later, I felt something so strongly on 272 00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:38,840 Speaker 4: the inside telling me that I needed to do it. 273 00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:41,680 Speaker 4: I don't know how to explain it. I just knew 274 00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:43,960 Speaker 4: that I knew that, I knew I was supposed to do. 275 00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:47,360 Speaker 4: It didn't make sense to my mind. But God doesn't 276 00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:51,280 Speaker 4: speak to our mind. He speaks to our spirit, not 277 00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:55,120 Speaker 4: out loud, but down in here. It's a knowing, it's 278 00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:58,240 Speaker 4: an urging. You don't have to hear words. You just 279 00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:03,000 Speaker 4: know what to do. Many times we don't recognize that's 280 00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:06,399 Speaker 4: God talking to us. You know, you're supposed to break 281 00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:09,040 Speaker 4: away from a friend that's holding your back, you know, 282 00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:12,480 Speaker 4: to go back to school and improve your skills. But 283 00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:15,640 Speaker 4: we think, oh, that's just me. Maybe I will, maybe 284 00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:18,840 Speaker 4: I want, no big deal. That's not just you. That's 285 00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:22,919 Speaker 4: God talking to you. That's God opening a window of grace. 286 00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:28,280 Speaker 4: You're coming into a chiros moment, a special season of favor, 287 00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:31,639 Speaker 4: to do what you couldn't do, to go where you 288 00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:35,199 Speaker 4: couldn't go. The question is will you step into it 289 00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:38,800 Speaker 4: or will you put it off and let the window close. 290 00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:44,000 Speaker 4: Time is of the essence, the longer you wait, the 291 00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:47,679 Speaker 4: less passionate you'll feel, and the less likely you'll be 292 00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:52,080 Speaker 4: to do it. Don't put it off. It's an opportune moment. 293 00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:56,800 Speaker 4: It's not months, it's not years. It's a passing opportunity. 294 00:17:57,480 --> 00:18:00,840 Speaker 4: Unless you grab hold of it, stretch your faith, make 295 00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:05,040 Speaker 4: the changes, you'll miss your moment. Five minutes later, I 296 00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:07,840 Speaker 4: called my father back and told him that I'd changed 297 00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:10,440 Speaker 4: my mind and I would speak for him that Sunday. 298 00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:14,200 Speaker 4: Lisa and my mother nearly passed out. I was going 299 00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:17,679 Speaker 4: to speak my first sermon in thirty six years. I 300 00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:20,119 Speaker 4: didn't want to do it, but I knew I was 301 00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:23,239 Speaker 4: supposed to do it. The truth is that was the 302 00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:27,480 Speaker 4: most miserable week of my life. I so dreaded having 303 00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:29,760 Speaker 4: to get up in front of people, no offense, but 304 00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:34,040 Speaker 4: y'all were very scary. I told Victoria, please don't talk 305 00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:37,880 Speaker 4: to me until Sunday afternoon at one o'clock. I'm gonna 306 00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:40,639 Speaker 4: do this one time, make my father proud, and then 307 00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:44,080 Speaker 4: I'm done. You've heard that saying, if you want to 308 00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:49,200 Speaker 4: make God laugh, tell him your plans. I spoke that Sunday, 309 00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:52,879 Speaker 4: never dreaming it would be the last Sunday of my 310 00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:57,719 Speaker 4: father's life. Now, I often wonder where I would be 311 00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:01,000 Speaker 4: if I would have said no. I would have ignored 312 00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:05,879 Speaker 4: that feeling. That was a Chiros moment, something God ordained 313 00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:09,439 Speaker 4: to thrust me into my destiny. It's not like I 314 00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:13,000 Speaker 4: could have done it a month later. My father would 315 00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:16,240 Speaker 4: have been gone. It wouldn't have had the same impact. 316 00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:19,960 Speaker 4: One reason I was able to step up and pasture 317 00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:23,679 Speaker 4: the church is I thought, what are the chances of 318 00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:27,280 Speaker 4: me speaking on the last Sunday of his life. I 319 00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:30,399 Speaker 4: had told him no for thirty six years, but it 320 00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:34,920 Speaker 4: just so happened that last time I said yes. That's 321 00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:38,399 Speaker 4: why I felt it so strongly. I knew I was 322 00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:41,320 Speaker 4: supposed to do it. But here's my point. I could 323 00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:44,880 Speaker 4: have said no, I could have ignored it. I could 324 00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:48,040 Speaker 4: have said I'll do it later. I don't feel qualified. 325 00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:51,400 Speaker 4: Asked me again at the same time next year. But 326 00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:55,560 Speaker 4: by the grace of God, I stepped into it. Don't 327 00:19:55,680 --> 00:20:01,119 Speaker 4: miss your Chiros moments. You don't know where there it's you. 328 00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:04,040 Speaker 4: You don't know what doors are going to open, You 329 00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:07,879 Speaker 4: don't know what One good decision, one step of faith, 330 00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:11,920 Speaker 4: one getting out of your comfort zone and obeying that 331 00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:15,800 Speaker 4: still small voice how that's going to cause a domino 332 00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:20,200 Speaker 4: effect of awesome things in your life. If I had 333 00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:24,720 Speaker 4: not said yes to that one speaking invitation, I don't 334 00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:27,840 Speaker 4: believe that I would be a pastor. We probably wouldn't 335 00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:31,360 Speaker 4: have the Compact Center, the books, Nights of Hope, serious 336 00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:37,480 Speaker 4: exem those things all followed one act of obedience. Well, Joel, 337 00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:40,520 Speaker 4: that's exciting for you, but it's kind of depressing for 338 00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:44,000 Speaker 4: me because I think I've already missed my window. You 339 00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:47,000 Speaker 4: wouldn't be hearing this if God wasn't about to open 340 00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:54,240 Speaker 4: another window. There is a Piros moment coming for you, 341 00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:59,120 Speaker 4: something that's going to thrust you ahead, a power that's 342 00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:02,760 Speaker 4: going to free you from every addiction, a force that's 343 00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:05,560 Speaker 4: going to break every chain that's held you back and 344 00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:09,440 Speaker 4: release you into a future greater than you've ever imagined. 345 00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:14,880 Speaker 4: When it comes, Step into it, stretch your faith, pursue 346 00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:19,440 Speaker 4: that dream, make the necessary changes, don't let it pass 347 00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:24,040 Speaker 4: you by Acts Chapter twenty four, the apostle Paul was 348 00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:27,720 Speaker 4: brought to Cessarea to go on trial for sharing his faith. 349 00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:31,800 Speaker 4: He was standing before the governor, a man named Felix, 350 00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:36,119 Speaker 4: presenting his case, and Felix was very intrigued with Paul. 351 00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:39,680 Speaker 4: The main trial was going to take place later, so 352 00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:43,120 Speaker 4: he had Paul taken into custody. In a few days, 353 00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:46,600 Speaker 4: Felix and his wife sent for Paul to come visit 354 00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:50,679 Speaker 4: with them. Paul discussed his faith and the importance of 355 00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:55,280 Speaker 4: living a godly life and having self control. Felix began 356 00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:59,720 Speaker 4: to feel convicted. He had lived compromising, giving in to 357 00:21:59,800 --> 00:22:03,679 Speaker 4: his carnal desires. He knew he needed to change. This 358 00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:07,439 Speaker 4: was one of his chirost moments, a window of grace. 359 00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:11,400 Speaker 4: But he said to Paul in verse twenty five, go 360 00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:15,840 Speaker 4: away for now. When a more convenient time comes, I'll 361 00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:19,360 Speaker 4: call for you. He put it off, he didn't want 362 00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:22,960 Speaker 4: to deal with the conviction. Two years later he was 363 00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:27,159 Speaker 4: out of office. We never read anymore about Felix. I 364 00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:31,160 Speaker 4: don't know if the more convenient time ever came. That's 365 00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:35,320 Speaker 4: why the scripture says today, when you hear his voice, obey, 366 00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:39,560 Speaker 4: are you waiting for a more convenient time? Are you 367 00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:43,399 Speaker 4: ignoring the still small voice talking yourself out and taking 368 00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:47,400 Speaker 4: that step of faith? You don't know how long that 369 00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:50,960 Speaker 4: window is going to be open. Don't do like Felix, 370 00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:55,400 Speaker 4: keep making excuses. This is an opportunity to come up higher, 371 00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:59,440 Speaker 4: to see God's favor in a greater way. My friend 372 00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:03,520 Speaker 4: de von Franklin is a movie producer in Hollywood. As 373 00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:06,080 Speaker 4: a young man, he had a dream to own his 374 00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:10,199 Speaker 4: own company making films. He went to Los Angeles and 375 00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:14,480 Speaker 4: became an intern at a big movie studio, but instead 376 00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:18,440 Speaker 4: of producing films, he was running errands, getting the executive's 377 00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:22,280 Speaker 4: coffee in bringing them their lunches. He stayed faithful in 378 00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:26,080 Speaker 4: one door after another opened. He got a position helping 379 00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:30,159 Speaker 4: produce Will Smith's movies. He ended up as the vice 380 00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:34,879 Speaker 4: president at Sony Pictures, a great position, but he always 381 00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:38,600 Speaker 4: dreamed of his own company. He produced the movie Heaven 382 00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:42,560 Speaker 4: Is for Real. It made thirty million dollars the first weekend, 383 00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:47,040 Speaker 4: a huge success. Nobody predicted those kinds of numbers. His 384 00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:50,880 Speaker 4: boss called and congratulated him and said she was going 385 00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:54,960 Speaker 4: to give him a promotion and increase his salary. As 386 00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:57,600 Speaker 4: he was going to meet with her, he felt God 387 00:23:57,720 --> 00:24:01,040 Speaker 4: saying to him, this is the time to leave Sony 388 00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:05,040 Speaker 4: and start your own company. He said, God, that doesn't 389 00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:08,720 Speaker 4: make sense. I'm about to get this big promotion. These 390 00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:12,640 Speaker 4: people love me deep down. He couldn't get away from it. 391 00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:15,760 Speaker 4: He knew he was supposed to make a change. He 392 00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:18,679 Speaker 4: told his boss that he was leaving and that he 393 00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:22,840 Speaker 4: wanted Sony to fund his new company. She looked at 394 00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:26,399 Speaker 4: him and said, yes, we will do that. He nearly 395 00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:29,840 Speaker 4: passed out. This was more than he could imagine. He'd 396 00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:32,720 Speaker 4: not only have his own company, but his old company 397 00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:36,199 Speaker 4: would fund it. They signed all the paperwork. In a 398 00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:40,199 Speaker 4: few weeks, this boss that liked him so much was 399 00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:44,440 Speaker 4: involved in an email controversy and suddenly she lost her job. 400 00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:47,439 Speaker 4: If he would have waited a couple of months to 401 00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:50,639 Speaker 4: start the company, he wouldn't have had the funding. That 402 00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:55,040 Speaker 4: was a Chirost moment, a window of grace. You can 403 00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:58,359 Speaker 4: do the right thing at the wrong time and miss 404 00:24:58,359 --> 00:25:04,280 Speaker 4: your destiny. Is critical When God says do something, just 405 00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:07,879 Speaker 4: do it. It may not make sense now, but God 406 00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:11,720 Speaker 4: knows things that we don't know. When he says forgive, 407 00:25:12,560 --> 00:25:14,960 Speaker 4: you may come up with a thousand reasons not to 408 00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:19,120 Speaker 4: just do it. God knows what's best for you. When 409 00:25:19,119 --> 00:25:22,080 Speaker 4: he says take that step of faith. Your mind may 410 00:25:22,119 --> 00:25:24,480 Speaker 4: tell you what if it doesn't work, What if you 411 00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:27,280 Speaker 4: don't get the contract, What if the economy goes down, 412 00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:31,359 Speaker 4: if there's no risk. It doesn't take any faith. If 413 00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:34,840 Speaker 4: there's no chance you can fail, you don't need God's help. 414 00:25:35,359 --> 00:25:38,360 Speaker 4: But where God is taking you, you can't get there 415 00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:42,439 Speaker 4: on your own. You may be talented, but your talent 416 00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:46,439 Speaker 4: alone is not enough. You may be connected, but you 417 00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:50,280 Speaker 4: don't have enough connections. The future God has for you 418 00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:53,720 Speaker 4: is much bigger than you've ever imagined. You're going to 419 00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:58,199 Speaker 4: need these windows of grace, these Chirost moments. When we 420 00:25:58,280 --> 00:26:02,159 Speaker 4: acquired this place, I'm a compact center. I was told 421 00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:05,160 Speaker 4: it was going to cost one hundred million dollars to renovate. 422 00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:10,440 Speaker 4: Three years earlier, I was running camera, editing my father's sermons, 423 00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:14,960 Speaker 4: doing the production. Do you know how much fundraising experience 424 00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:18,800 Speaker 4: I had at that time? Zero? I thought, God, I 425 00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:21,760 Speaker 4: am so far over my head. But Lord, thank you 426 00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:25,400 Speaker 4: that this is not over your head. I had the faith, 427 00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:29,760 Speaker 4: the courage, the confidence to do something that didn't make sense. 428 00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:33,480 Speaker 4: That was one of my Chirost moments. What am I saying? 429 00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:36,480 Speaker 4: When God asked you to do something, he will give 430 00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:39,920 Speaker 4: you the faith and the favor to do it. The 431 00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:44,360 Speaker 4: Scripture talks about having the faith of God. Sometimes it's 432 00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:47,840 Speaker 4: not even our faith, it's God putting his faith in us. 433 00:26:48,520 --> 00:26:51,680 Speaker 4: But you have to stay in the window. You can't 434 00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:54,680 Speaker 4: think about it for six years and get forty seven 435 00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:58,800 Speaker 4: different opinions. First off, you're going to be confused because 436 00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:02,840 Speaker 4: people can't hear what God's telling you. They can't feel 437 00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:06,800 Speaker 4: what you feel on the inside. And secondly, that window 438 00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:10,320 Speaker 4: is not going to last forever if you keep putting 439 00:27:10,359 --> 00:27:13,760 Speaker 4: it all. At some point it's going to close. In 440 00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:17,119 Speaker 4: the scripture, God told Jonah to go to the city 441 00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:20,800 Speaker 4: of Nineveh and tell the people they had forty days 442 00:27:20,840 --> 00:27:23,800 Speaker 4: to repent or God was going to destroy the city. 443 00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:27,240 Speaker 4: It's interesting that God put a time period on it. 444 00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:31,560 Speaker 4: He didn't just say repent sometime whenever you feel like it. 445 00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:34,200 Speaker 4: As long as you do it, no big deal. He said, 446 00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:38,280 Speaker 4: you have forty days to make things right. When Jonah 447 00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:41,600 Speaker 4: told the people, the first thing they did was fall 448 00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:44,760 Speaker 4: on their knees. The king took off his royal robe, 449 00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:48,480 Speaker 4: put ashes on his head, and declared a city wide fast. 450 00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:51,720 Speaker 4: They didn't wait a week, they didn't wait twenty days. 451 00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:55,640 Speaker 4: Immediately they said God, we're sorry for the way we've 452 00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:59,600 Speaker 4: been living, and God spared the city. I wonder if 453 00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:03,200 Speaker 4: they're something you could change in the next forty days 454 00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:06,040 Speaker 4: and you would see God's favor in a new way. 455 00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:10,520 Speaker 4: Maybe God is saying to you, you have forty days 456 00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:13,920 Speaker 4: to get your priorities in order. You have forty days 457 00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:17,159 Speaker 4: to forgive that person. You have forty days to pursue 458 00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:20,679 Speaker 4: that dream. You have forty days to get serious in 459 00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:24,199 Speaker 4: your relationship with God. There is a window of grace. 460 00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:27,520 Speaker 4: It was forty days for the people of Nineveh. I 461 00:28:27,560 --> 00:28:30,159 Speaker 4: don't know what it is for you, but I do 462 00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:34,840 Speaker 4: know when these chirost moments come, they have a time limitation. 463 00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:39,040 Speaker 4: They are not going to last forever. Don't miss your moment. 464 00:28:39,680 --> 00:28:43,560 Speaker 4: Listen to that still small voice, that knowing on the inside. 465 00:28:43,720 --> 00:28:47,080 Speaker 4: That's when you're going to feel a divine empowerment, the 466 00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:50,560 Speaker 4: favor to do what God's asking you to do. If 467 00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:54,000 Speaker 4: you'll do this, I believe and declare, you're about to 468 00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:58,000 Speaker 4: see some of these chirost moments. New doors are about 469 00:28:58,040 --> 00:29:05,520 Speaker 4: to open. Freedom from a days, restoration in relationships, promotion, healing, breakthroughs, 470 00:29:05,760 --> 00:29:09,760 Speaker 4: the fullness of your destiny in Jesus's name, And if 471 00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:13,360 Speaker 4: you receive it, can you say am in today? Well, 472 00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:16,480 Speaker 4: I'd like to give you an opportunity to make Jesus, 473 00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:19,200 Speaker 4: the Lord of your life. Would you pray with me? 474 00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:25,600 Speaker 4: Just say, Lord, Jesus, I repent of my sins, Come 475 00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:29,560 Speaker 4: into my heart. I make you my Lord and savior. 476 00:29:31,040 --> 00:29:33,520 Speaker 4: If you prayed that simple prayer, we believe you got 477 00:29:33,520 --> 00:29:36,720 Speaker 4: born again.
