32
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:42,240
Speaker 4: I like to start with something funny, and I heard

33
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:45,280
Speaker 4: about this pastor. He found a dead mule on the

34
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:48,640
Speaker 4: church grounds. He called the health department and they said

35
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:52,680
Speaker 4: they couldn't pick it up without authorization from the mayor. Well,

36
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:55,160
Speaker 4: the mayor was known to be rude and hard to

37
00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:58,640
Speaker 4: get along with. When the pastor called, the mayor didn't

38
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:02,600
Speaker 4: disappoint He started at ranning and raving. Finally said, why

39
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:05,280
Speaker 4: are you even calling me? Isn't it your job to

40
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:09,160
Speaker 4: bury the dead? The pastor asked God for the right response.

41
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 4: He said, yes, Mayor, it is my job to bury

42
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:15,000
Speaker 4: the dead. But I always like to notify the next

43
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:19,240
Speaker 4: of ken. First, say it like you mean it. This

44
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:21,880
Speaker 4: is my Bible. I am what it says I am.

45
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:24,640
Speaker 4: I have what it says I have. I can do

46
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:27,200
Speaker 4: what it says I can do. Today I will be

47
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:31,040
Speaker 4: taught the word of God. I'll boldly confess. My mind

48
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:34,240
Speaker 4: is alert, my heart is receptive. I will never be

49
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 4: the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you. I want

50
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:42,639
Speaker 4: to talk to you today about night seasons. We all

51
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:46,680
Speaker 4: go through times that we don't understand. We're praying and believing,

52
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:50,320
Speaker 4: but our health isn't improving, our finances haven't turned around.

53
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:55,120
Speaker 4: We still haven't met the right person. We can feel alone, forgotten,

54
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:58,519
Speaker 4: like it's never going to change. It's a night season

55
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:03,880
Speaker 4: eight seasons. You can't see what God is doing, doesn't

56
00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:07,800
Speaker 4: look like anything is happening, But God is working behind

57
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:11,639
Speaker 4: the scenes. He does his greatest work in the dark.

58
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:15,440
Speaker 4: We don't see anything changing. We're still dealing with the

59
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:20,040
Speaker 4: same problem. But God hasn't forgotten about you. In the

60
00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:24,000
Speaker 4: dark times, when life feels unfair, you have to remind

61
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:28,280
Speaker 4: yourself that God is still in control. Just because you

62
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:31,960
Speaker 4: don't see anything doesn't mean that God is not working.

63
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:35,800
Speaker 4: He doesn't always show you what he's up to, and

64
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:38,240
Speaker 4: it's easy to trust him when you're getting good breaks,

65
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:41,120
Speaker 4: things are going great, but you have to learn to

66
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:44,880
Speaker 4: trust him in the night seasons, when things aren't going

67
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:48,720
Speaker 4: your way. You don't see anything happening. The heroes of

68
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:52,440
Speaker 4: faith all went through these night seasons. David, as a

69
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:56,640
Speaker 4: young man, defeated Goliath. It was a great victory. But

70
00:03:56,800 --> 00:04:01,080
Speaker 4: after that he spent years running from King Saul, having

71
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:04,880
Speaker 4: to hide in caves, sleep in the desert. I'm sure

72
00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 4: he prayed God delivered me from Saul. This is not right,

73
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:12,320
Speaker 4: but it was like the heavens were silent. God didn't

74
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:16,200
Speaker 4: change it. Saul was wrong. It was unfair to David.

75
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:20,320
Speaker 4: But the night seasons are a time of testing, a

76
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:24,720
Speaker 4: time of proving. Are we going to get negative, live discouraged,

77
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:28,240
Speaker 4: or are we going to say? God, I don't understand it.

78
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:31,400
Speaker 4: It's not fair, but I trust you. I know you're

79
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:33,920
Speaker 4: not just the god of the daytime, but you're the

80
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:38,320
Speaker 4: God of the night seasons. In the scripture, Ruth lost

81
00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:41,279
Speaker 4: her husband at an early age. He was killed in

82
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:46,080
Speaker 4: a battle. She was devastated, heartbroken. She could have given

83
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:50,039
Speaker 4: up on life, lived in self pity, but she understood

84
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:54,359
Speaker 4: this principle. The night seasons are not the end. The

85
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:58,839
Speaker 4: bad breaks, the disappointments, the loss, the sickness, that's simply

86
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:03,400
Speaker 4: another step on the way to your destiny. The Psalmist said,

87
00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:07,800
Speaker 4: weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in

88
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:12,279
Speaker 4: the morning. Your story doesn't end in the night. The

89
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:18,200
Speaker 4: night is temporary, The sickness is temporary, the loneliness temporary.

90
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:22,520
Speaker 4: That addiction, it's only temporary. Ruth went on to meet

91
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:26,240
Speaker 4: another man. They fell in love, got married, had a baby.

92
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:30,799
Speaker 4: Her story didn't end in the dark. When things aren't

93
00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:34,000
Speaker 4: working out, you feel like you're going the wrong direction.

94
00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:38,279
Speaker 4: God's not changing it. Don't get discouraged. It's just a

95
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:42,760
Speaker 4: night season. It's not permanent. It's not how your story ends.

96
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:47,279
Speaker 4: You may not see anything happening, but God is at work.

97
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:51,760
Speaker 4: Dare to trust him. Keep moving forward in faith, keep believing.

98
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:54,800
Speaker 4: It's just a matter of time before the morning breaks.

99
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:59,400
Speaker 4: Forth Job went through a night's season. Everything was going great.

100
00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:03,920
Speaker 4: He was happy, healthy, successful, and life took a sudden

101
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:07,960
Speaker 4: turn out of nowhere. He came down with an illness

102
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:11,599
Speaker 4: and had bulls all over his body. It's very painful.

103
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:16,000
Speaker 4: He lost his business, lost his family. His whole world

104
00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:20,360
Speaker 4: was turned upside down. And what's interesting is Job was

105
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:23,599
Speaker 4: a good man. He loved God. He was a person

106
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:27,599
Speaker 4: of excellence and integrity. This would make more sense if

107
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:32,000
Speaker 4: he was a compromiser, making wrong choices, not honoring God.

108
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:36,039
Speaker 4: But the scripture says rain falls on the just and

109
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:40,520
Speaker 4: the unjust. Just because you're a good person doesn't mean

110
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:43,800
Speaker 4: you're not going to have some night seasons. And you

111
00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:47,600
Speaker 4: may be in a difficult time now, it doesn't necessarily

112
00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:51,160
Speaker 4: mean you've done something wrong. God's not pleased with you.

113
00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:54,440
Speaker 4: You don't have his favor. It's just life. You're getting

114
00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:59,440
Speaker 4: some rain. Without the rain, we couldn't grow. God wouldn't

115
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:01,839
Speaker 4: have allowed that if it was going to keep you

116
00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:05,159
Speaker 4: from your destiny. He has you in the palm of

117
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:09,480
Speaker 4: his hand. He's closely watching you. You may feel like

118
00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:13,440
Speaker 4: you're in the fire, but God controls the thermostat. He

119
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:16,200
Speaker 4: won't let it be more than you can handle it. Now,

120
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:18,840
Speaker 4: quit telling yourself. I'll never make it through this, Joe,

121
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:22,800
Speaker 4: I'll never get well, never accomplish my dream. Now, it's

122
00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:25,920
Speaker 4: just a night season. It's not a surprise to God.

123
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:30,760
Speaker 4: He already has the solution. The breakthrough is headed your way.

124
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:33,480
Speaker 4: But Job did what many of us do in the

125
00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:38,080
Speaker 4: difficult times. He focused on the problem, magnified what was wrong,

126
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:41,800
Speaker 4: and let it overwhelm him. He said in chapter seven,

127
00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:46,560
Speaker 4: I will never again experience pleasure. I have been assigned

128
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:51,400
Speaker 4: to long, weary nights of misery. He was saying, this

129
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:54,680
Speaker 4: is permanent. This is how my story ends. I've been

130
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:58,960
Speaker 4: assigned to nights of misery. We do an event called

131
00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:01,720
Speaker 4: a night of hope. If Job would have been touring,

132
00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:04,880
Speaker 4: he would have called it a night of misery. Do

133
00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:07,200
Speaker 4: not make a light of what he faced, because it

134
00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:11,000
Speaker 4: was serious. But the mistake he made was thinking it

135
00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:15,600
Speaker 4: was permanent. What you're going through may be difficult, but

136
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:19,280
Speaker 4: the good news is you are going through it. It's

137
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:23,640
Speaker 4: not your final destination. It's a night season, not a

138
00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:28,600
Speaker 4: night lifetime. In Job's darkest hour, when he was the

139
00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:32,320
Speaker 4: most discouraged, God said to him, I will fill your

140
00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:35,880
Speaker 4: mouth with laughter and your lips with shouts of joy.

141
00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:39,920
Speaker 4: God was saying, Job, it looks bad. You don't understand it,

142
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:43,720
Speaker 4: but don't worry. It's not permanent. It's just a season.

143
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:48,000
Speaker 4: I'm about to fill your mouth with laughter. God is

144
00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:51,319
Speaker 4: saying to you what he said to Job. Life may

145
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:54,720
Speaker 4: not have been fair, but you're not going to live discouraged,

146
00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:59,800
Speaker 4: overwhelmed by problems, burdened down by illnesses. Joy is coming,

147
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:04,600
Speaker 4: Health is coming, breakthroughs are coming, Promotion is coming. God

148
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:08,400
Speaker 4: is about to fill your mouth with laughter. That means

149
00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:13,120
Speaker 4: God's going to do something so unusual, so extraordinary. You'll

150
00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:16,560
Speaker 4: be so amazed all you can do is laugh. Your

151
00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:19,840
Speaker 4: mourning is going to be turned to dancing. Your sorrow

152
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:23,360
Speaker 4: turned to joy. This is what happened with Job. He

153
00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:26,439
Speaker 4: didn't just make it through the ninth season, but God

154
00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:30,200
Speaker 4: restored back to him double what he lost. He came

155
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:32,920
Speaker 4: out with twice the cattle, twice, the sheep, twice, the

156
00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:36,920
Speaker 4: business he felt twice as healthy. God always makes the

157
00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:40,720
Speaker 4: enemy pay for bringing the trouble. If you'll stay in faith,

158
00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:43,560
Speaker 4: you won't just come out, You will come out better

159
00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:48,600
Speaker 4: than you were before. The scripture says after this Job

160
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:52,679
Speaker 4: lived one hundred and forty years and saw four generations.

161
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:56,640
Speaker 4: Then he died an old man, having lived a long,

162
00:09:57,000 --> 00:10:00,240
Speaker 4: good life. When we think of Job, we usually think

163
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:03,520
Speaker 4: all the pain, all the suffering. The truth is that

164
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:07,800
Speaker 4: was just one season. You may be in a dark time,

165
00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:10,760
Speaker 4: but like Job, you're going to come through it and

166
00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:14,760
Speaker 4: still live a long, blessed life. It says after this

167
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:18,320
Speaker 4: job lived one hundred and forty years. After what after

168
00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:23,280
Speaker 4: the ninth season? That means after the loss, after the disappointment,

169
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:26,880
Speaker 4: after the divorce, after the sickness, there are still many

170
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:30,920
Speaker 4: great days up ahead. My father went through a night season.

171
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:34,720
Speaker 4: He was married at a very young age, and unfortunately

172
00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:39,040
Speaker 4: the marriage didn't work out. He was devastated. He resigned

173
00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:43,000
Speaker 4: from his church and got out of the ministry. Denominational

174
00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:46,880
Speaker 4: leaders told him that he would never pastor again. People

175
00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:50,520
Speaker 4: said he was finished. The good news is people don't

176
00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:56,600
Speaker 4: determine your destiny. God does. Two years later he got

177
00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:59,960
Speaker 4: back in the ministry and he ended up marrying my mother.

178
00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:04,080
Speaker 4: They had five children, were married for almost fifty years.

179
00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:08,280
Speaker 4: Then they started Lakewood. He pastored here forty years, touching

180
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:13,920
Speaker 4: the world. This all happened after the divorce, after the disappointment.

181
00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:17,080
Speaker 4: He thought that would sour the rest of his life,

182
00:11:17,480 --> 00:11:20,160
Speaker 4: but it was just a season. He went on to

183
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:23,800
Speaker 4: live a long, blessed, faith filled life. Don't let the

184
00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:27,160
Speaker 4: night seasons convince you that you've seen your best days.

185
00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:30,680
Speaker 4: You wouldn't be alive unless God had something amazing up

186
00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:34,040
Speaker 4: in front of you. But in the dark times, it's

187
00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:37,200
Speaker 4: easy to talk about the difficulties, talk about how bad

188
00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:41,400
Speaker 4: life is treating us like job, exaggerate our problems. All

189
00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:44,199
Speaker 4: that's going to do is make you more discourage, more defeated.

190
00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:48,199
Speaker 4: Take your joy instead of complaining. One of the best

191
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:51,960
Speaker 4: things you can say is all is well. When you

192
00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:54,960
Speaker 4: say all is well, what you're really saying is God

193
00:11:55,000 --> 00:12:00,160
Speaker 4: it's still on the throne. I'm not going to live upset, bitter, guilty,

194
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:03,600
Speaker 4: being a night season, but I know this too shall pass.

195
00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:07,400
Speaker 4: All is well. Somebody says, well, I thought the medical

196
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:10,880
Speaker 4: report wasn't good. Yes, that's true, but all is well.

197
00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:14,480
Speaker 4: God is restoring health back into me. Your child is

198
00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:17,760
Speaker 4: still of course, yes, but I'm not worried. All is well.

199
00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:21,720
Speaker 4: As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord. Joel.

200
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:24,760
Speaker 4: How can you say all is well when you went

201
00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:27,880
Speaker 4: through a breakup, you lost a loved one, you still

202
00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:30,840
Speaker 4: haven't met the right person. The way you can say

203
00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:35,160
Speaker 4: it is because you know the night season is only temporary.

204
00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:38,920
Speaker 4: You know joy is coming, you know what was meant

205
00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:41,960
Speaker 4: for harm. God is turning to your advantage. You know

206
00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:46,160
Speaker 4: after this is a long, blessed, faith filled life. Now,

207
00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:51,080
Speaker 4: don't talk yourself into being miserable. We all have night seasons,

208
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:54,800
Speaker 4: things we don't understand. Keep a report of victory coming

209
00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:57,800
Speaker 4: out of your mouth. If you're going to magnify something,

210
00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:02,840
Speaker 4: don't magnify your problems. Magnify your God. Talk about his greatness,

211
00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:07,520
Speaker 4: talk about his favor. And yes, you may have big challenges,

212
00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:09,920
Speaker 4: but can I tell you we serve a big God.

213
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:14,760
Speaker 4: The sickness may seem impossible. God can do the impossible.

214
00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:19,240
Speaker 4: That obstacle may look permanent. One touch of God's favor

215
00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:23,360
Speaker 4: will thrust you to a next level. Quit worrying. God

216
00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:27,680
Speaker 4: is saying all is well in your finances, all is

217
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:31,720
Speaker 4: well in your health, all is well in your family,

218
00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:35,640
Speaker 4: all is well. It may be night right now, but

219
00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:39,080
Speaker 4: morning is coming. You're going to see what God was

220
00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:43,160
Speaker 4: doing behind the scenes. And every day you stay in faith,

221
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:47,240
Speaker 4: every day you keep a good attitude despite the darkness,

222
00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:50,959
Speaker 4: you are passing the test. That night's season will come

223
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:55,240
Speaker 4: to an end. The Psalm is said, when darkness overtakes

224
00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:59,280
Speaker 4: the righteous light will come bursting in. It's going to

225
00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:04,640
Speaker 4: happen suddenly, unexpectedly. You didn't see it coming. You woke

226
00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:07,520
Speaker 4: up and it was still dark. Nothing had changed. Then

227
00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:10,840
Speaker 4: suddenly you get the break you kneed. Suddenly your health

228
00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:14,120
Speaker 4: turns around. Suddenly you meet the right person. The light

229
00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:18,240
Speaker 4: will come bursting in. Moses went through a night's season

230
00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:21,920
Speaker 4: as a young man. He made a mistake and killed

231
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:25,880
Speaker 4: someone that was mistreating a Hebrew slave. He knew he

232
00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:29,040
Speaker 4: was called to deliver the Israelites, but he got out

233
00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:32,160
Speaker 4: of God's timing and tried to do it on his own.

234
00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:36,320
Speaker 4: He had to flee for his life. He spent forty

235
00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:40,200
Speaker 4: years on the backside of the desert in hiding. He

236
00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:44,960
Speaker 4: felt alone, forgotten, and it was his fault. Every voice said,

237
00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:48,960
Speaker 4: too bad, you blew it. You're a failure. But God

238
00:14:49,040 --> 00:14:52,720
Speaker 4: doesn't waste anything that we go through. He uses it

239
00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:56,720
Speaker 4: to get us prepared for our destiny. In those years

240
00:14:56,760 --> 00:15:00,320
Speaker 4: out in the desert, Moses couldn't see what God was

241
00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:04,160
Speaker 4: doing behind the scenes, but God was making him and

242
00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:07,880
Speaker 4: molding him. He thought he was finished, but God was

243
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:12,200
Speaker 4: using that time to develop his character. He was getting

244
00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:17,320
Speaker 4: him prepared for his comeback. Like Moses, you may have

245
00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:20,720
Speaker 4: made mistakes that have put you in a night season.

246
00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:24,920
Speaker 4: Something was delayed, You had to take a detour. You're

247
00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:27,760
Speaker 4: not where you thought you would be. Now you think

248
00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:31,080
Speaker 4: you have to settle there and never accomplish what God

249
00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:34,320
Speaker 4: put in your heart. You may not realize it, but

250
00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:38,320
Speaker 4: right now God is getting you prepared for your comeback.

251
00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:42,800
Speaker 4: What he started he's going to finish. He's already taken

252
00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:47,680
Speaker 4: into account every wrong term, every mistake, every bad break.

253
00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:51,000
Speaker 4: It may look like the end to you. The truth

254
00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:55,640
Speaker 4: is it's just a temporary delay. It's a time of testing,

255
00:15:56,040 --> 00:15:59,920
Speaker 4: a time of proving where your character is being developed.

256
00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:04,520
Speaker 4: God is working in you, polishing off the rough edges.

257
00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:08,680
Speaker 4: He's getting you prepared for where he's taken you. Forty

258
00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:11,880
Speaker 4: years later, God came back and said, all right, Moses,

259
00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:15,640
Speaker 4: now I'm ready for you to deliver my people. The

260
00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:19,680
Speaker 4: scripture says Moses was the most humble man in all

261
00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:25,040
Speaker 4: the land. In that night season, Moses changed. He learned

262
00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:27,920
Speaker 4: to wait on God, to listen to his voice, to

263
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:31,640
Speaker 4: walk in humility. He came up higher in his character

264
00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:37,680
Speaker 4: in the difficult times. Stay pliable, stay open, say God,

265
00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:41,560
Speaker 4: make me and mold me. Show me where I need

266
00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:46,160
Speaker 4: to change. You grow in the tough times. Even physically,

267
00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:50,280
Speaker 4: you grow at night when you're asleep, in the same

268
00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:53,480
Speaker 4: way when you're in a night season. You may not

269
00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:58,200
Speaker 4: like it, but it's working for you. You're getting stronger. You

270
00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:01,160
Speaker 4: have to be prepared for where God has taken you.

271
00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:05,440
Speaker 4: Moses couldn't handle it the first time he made a mistake,

272
00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:09,520
Speaker 4: had to run. God didn't write him off, he didn't

273
00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:14,000
Speaker 4: cancel his destiny. He used the night season to refine him.

274
00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:18,200
Speaker 4: When Saul was chasing David through the desert, there were

275
00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:22,399
Speaker 4: several opportunities for David to kill Saul. He could have

276
00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:26,080
Speaker 4: taken his life, gotten rid of his problem. David wouldn't

277
00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:29,919
Speaker 4: do it. He knew Saul had been anointed by God.

278
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:33,320
Speaker 4: He told his men, I'm not going to harm what

279
00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:38,240
Speaker 4: God has anointed. After he passed these tests, after David

280
00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:40,840
Speaker 4: showed God what he was made of a man of

281
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:45,280
Speaker 4: character and integrity, God took care of Saul and David

282
00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:49,000
Speaker 4: was made the king in the night seasons. If you

283
00:17:49,040 --> 00:17:52,880
Speaker 4: will pass these tests, change where you need to change,

284
00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:56,600
Speaker 4: deal with the areas God's bringing to life. Prove to

285
00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:59,240
Speaker 4: him that you'll do the right thing when it's hard.

286
00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:04,280
Speaker 4: Give even though they hurt you then, like David, because

287
00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:08,080
Speaker 4: your character has been developed, God will bring you out

288
00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:10,760
Speaker 4: of that night season and get you to where you're

289
00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:14,960
Speaker 4: supposed to be. But some things we can only develop

290
00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:19,080
Speaker 4: in the dark. Without the night seasons, we wouldn't become

291
00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:23,080
Speaker 4: all God created us to be. A caterpillar can be

292
00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:27,360
Speaker 4: going along just fine. Everything is great, But down deep,

293
00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:31,800
Speaker 4: something says, you're not supposed to crawl your whole life.

294
00:18:31,880 --> 00:18:35,400
Speaker 4: You have more in you. He gets excited, thinking, yes,

295
00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:38,280
Speaker 4: that's right. Then he looks in the mirror and says,

296
00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:42,199
Speaker 4: what was I thinking. I'll never fly. I'm just a

297
00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:47,600
Speaker 4: glorified worm. That's impossible. But one day the caterpillar spins

298
00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:52,360
Speaker 4: a cocoon around itself. He hangs upside down from a branch.

299
00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:57,320
Speaker 4: It's dark. He can't move, he can't eat. If you

300
00:18:57,359 --> 00:18:59,600
Speaker 4: were to ask him when he was in the cocoon,

301
00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:02,879
Speaker 4: he would say, let me go back to where I was,

302
00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:06,080
Speaker 4: Let me go back to being a caterpillar. I don't

303
00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:10,280
Speaker 4: like where I am. I'm uncomfortable. It's dark, it's lonely.

304
00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:15,000
Speaker 4: What he doesn't realize is in the dark, a transformation

305
00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:19,040
Speaker 4: is taking place. Before long, he starts feeling some wings.

306
00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:23,440
Speaker 4: He gets the strength to push out of that cocoon. Now,

307
00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:26,760
Speaker 4: instead of crawling on the ground, he's a beautiful butterfly,

308
00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:31,480
Speaker 4: floating through the air like the caterpillar. None of us

309
00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:35,280
Speaker 4: like the night seasons. We don't like being uncomfortable. We

310
00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:39,240
Speaker 4: don't see anything happening. But there are times that God

311
00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:43,600
Speaker 4: incubates us. He takes us through the dark places, not

312
00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:47,440
Speaker 4: to make us miserable, but in the dark a transformation

313
00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:52,000
Speaker 4: is taking place. You're growing, You're being refined. You may

314
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:54,840
Speaker 4: not like it, but you have to keep reminding yourself.

315
00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:58,480
Speaker 4: Your wings are developing. You're about to step up to

316
00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:03,119
Speaker 4: a new level. No more crawling living in mediocrity. You

317
00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:06,040
Speaker 4: were made for higher things. You may be in a

318
00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:10,040
Speaker 4: night season, but by faith, I can see your cocoons

319
00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:13,359
Speaker 4: starting to open up. I can see a wing coming out.

320
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:16,679
Speaker 4: This is no time to be discouraged. You're on the

321
00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:20,760
Speaker 4: verge of taking off. You're about to become a beautiful butterfly.

322
00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:24,520
Speaker 4: You're going to go places that you've never dreamed. Now,

323
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:29,200
Speaker 4: don't complain about the cocoon. It's dark, it's uncomfortable, I'm lonely.

324
00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:33,040
Speaker 4: Keep a good attitude. It's all a part of the process.

325
00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:37,640
Speaker 4: God has changing you from glory to glory. In the scripture,

326
00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:41,040
Speaker 4: Jacob had not lived the right kind of life. He

327
00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:44,600
Speaker 4: was dishonest, He cheated people, tricked his brother out of

328
00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:48,280
Speaker 4: his birthright. You would think that God wouldn't have anything

329
00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:51,560
Speaker 4: to do with him, But God doesn't write us off.

330
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:56,400
Speaker 4: He keeps working with us, showing us his mercy. Jacob

331
00:20:56,480 --> 00:21:00,480
Speaker 4: was traveling on a long journey through the desert. He

332
00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:05,280
Speaker 4: was hot and tired, hungry. Nothing was going his way.

333
00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:09,000
Speaker 4: He came to a place to spend the night. All

334
00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:12,480
Speaker 4: he could find for a pillow was a rock. He

335
00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:16,720
Speaker 4: was in a hard place, a lonely time, a night's season.

336
00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:20,480
Speaker 4: I'm sure he thought that God had forgotten about him.

337
00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:24,800
Speaker 4: He went to sleep that night, down on himself, discouraged,

338
00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:29,200
Speaker 4: full of regrets. While he was sleeping, he had a dream.

339
00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:33,200
Speaker 4: He saw the heavens open up. There was a huge

340
00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:36,720
Speaker 4: staircase with angels going up and down. At the top,

341
00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:40,760
Speaker 4: the Lord was standing there. He said, Jacob, the ground

342
00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:44,640
Speaker 4: you are lying on belongs to you and your descendants.

343
00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:48,280
Speaker 4: I will protect you wherever you go. I will be

344
00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:52,280
Speaker 4: with you continually until I give you everything that I

345
00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:56,280
Speaker 4: have promised. When Jacob woke up. He couldn't believe what

346
00:21:56,359 --> 00:22:00,119
Speaker 4: he had seen. He said, surely the Lord was in

347
00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:04,760
Speaker 4: this place. What's interesting is he wasn't in the church,

348
00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:08,000
Speaker 4: wasn't in a temple, wasn't in the synagogue. He was

349
00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:11,719
Speaker 4: in the desert. God was showing us that he's the

350
00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:15,840
Speaker 4: God of hard places, the God of lonely times, the

351
00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:20,760
Speaker 4: God of night seasons. You may be in a difficulty now,

352
00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:25,000
Speaker 4: fighting a battle in your health, dealing with depression, raising

353
00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:29,399
Speaker 4: a special needs child, you feel alone, forgotten, discourage. God

354
00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:33,040
Speaker 4: is right there with you. Like with Jacob, I believe

355
00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:36,280
Speaker 4: the heavens are about to open up. God is going

356
00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:40,040
Speaker 4: to make things happen that you couldn't make happen. You

357
00:22:40,200 --> 00:22:43,760
Speaker 4: may be in a hard place, but you're not staying there.

358
00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:47,480
Speaker 4: Your health is going to improve, You're going to break

359
00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:50,560
Speaker 4: that addiction. The right people are going to show up.

360
00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:53,199
Speaker 4: You're going to say, like him, the Lord was in

361
00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:56,720
Speaker 4: this place. The Lord heal me from cancer, the Lord

362
00:22:56,760 --> 00:23:00,880
Speaker 4: freed me from depression, The Lord bless my business. He's

363
00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:04,080
Speaker 4: not going to stop until he's given you everything that

364
00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:08,920
Speaker 4: he's promised. You've heard the phrase the night shift. That means,

365
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:11,880
Speaker 4: of course, people that work during the night. But think

366
00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:15,400
Speaker 4: of it another way. In the night, things are going

367
00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:20,360
Speaker 4: to shift. The scripture says God never sleeps. He doesn't

368
00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:23,639
Speaker 4: just work the night shift, but he shifts things in

369
00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:26,840
Speaker 4: the night. You may be in a night season. You

370
00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:29,399
Speaker 4: don't see how it could work out. Don't worry. A

371
00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:32,760
Speaker 4: night shift is coming. The God who works the night

372
00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:36,560
Speaker 4: shift is going to shift things in your favor. There's

373
00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:39,159
Speaker 4: going to be a shift in your health, a shift

374
00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:43,240
Speaker 4: in your finances, a shift with that addiction. You think

375
00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:45,720
Speaker 4: you're going to have it for years. It looks permanent. No,

376
00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:49,359
Speaker 4: get ready for a night shift. This is what happened

377
00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:52,400
Speaker 4: with Paul and Silas they were in prison for spreading

378
00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:56,240
Speaker 4: the good news down in the deepest dungeons. Their feet

379
00:23:56,320 --> 00:24:00,000
Speaker 4: were in chains. But at midnight, as they were seeing

380
00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:03,800
Speaker 4: in praises to God, suddenly there was a great earthquake.

381
00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:07,399
Speaker 4: The prison doors flung open, the chains came off their feet.

382
00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:11,560
Speaker 4: They walked out as free men. What happened? God shifted

383
00:24:11,600 --> 00:24:15,280
Speaker 4: the earth shifted the prison doors. When did it happen

384
00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:19,399
Speaker 4: at midnight? It was a night shift from the God

385
00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:23,439
Speaker 4: who works the night shift. Things that look permittent in

386
00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:28,320
Speaker 4: your life, the addiction, the sickness, the panic attacks, the

387
00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:31,760
Speaker 4: lack and struggle. Thoughts will tell you you'll always have to

388
00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:35,000
Speaker 4: deal with that. Don't believe those lies. You're in a

389
00:24:35,160 --> 00:24:39,639
Speaker 4: night season. That means you're in perfect position for a

390
00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:45,000
Speaker 4: night shift. God specializes in shifting things in the dark

391
00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:48,680
Speaker 4: instead of worrying all through the day. Lord, thank you

392
00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:51,679
Speaker 4: for a night shift. Thank you that things are changing

393
00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:54,840
Speaker 4: in my favor. It's dark now, but God, I believe

394
00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:59,160
Speaker 4: what you said. Life is about to come bursting. In

395
00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:03,040
Speaker 4: Genesis Chap Two, Adam was in the garden of Eden

396
00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:07,520
Speaker 4: by himself. Life was good. He was naming the animals

397
00:25:07,560 --> 00:25:12,440
Speaker 4: that God created, enjoying the crystal clear river, beautiful trees,

398
00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:17,040
Speaker 4: delicious fruit. There were no problems, no sickness, no opposition.

399
00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:20,680
Speaker 4: He didn't think it could get any better. But God

400
00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:24,440
Speaker 4: didn't want him to live alone. Verse twenty one says

401
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:30,080
Speaker 4: God caused Adam to fall into a deep sleep. God

402
00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:33,800
Speaker 4: put him in a night season. He took a rib

403
00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:37,159
Speaker 4: from his side and used it to create a woman.

404
00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:41,720
Speaker 4: When Adam woke up from this deep sleep and saw Eve,

405
00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:45,000
Speaker 4: the first thing he said was, Wow, God, you have

406
00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:49,879
Speaker 4: outdone yourself. But I'm sure at the time he didn't

407
00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:53,920
Speaker 4: understand why God was putting him to sleep. He was happy,

408
00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:58,480
Speaker 4: life was good. But some things we can only develop

409
00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:01,760
Speaker 4: in the dark. If God didn't put us to sleep,

410
00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:04,720
Speaker 4: so to speak, have us go through a night season,

411
00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:07,800
Speaker 4: we would never see the fullness of what He has

412
00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:11,000
Speaker 4: in store. You may feel like God has put you

413
00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:14,879
Speaker 4: to sleep, things have slowed down. You're in a challenge.

414
00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:19,200
Speaker 4: It's a night season. Be encouraged when you wake up

415
00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:22,360
Speaker 4: and see what God has been up to. First thing

416
00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:25,560
Speaker 4: you're going to say is, Wow, God, I never dreamed

417
00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:28,439
Speaker 4: you'd take me here. I never dreamed we'd have the

418
00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:32,000
Speaker 4: Compact Center. I never dreamed i'd be this healthy again.

419
00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:36,960
Speaker 4: God has some wows in your future. Don't complain about

420
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:40,040
Speaker 4: the dark places. They are leading you to the amazing

421
00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:43,600
Speaker 4: things God has in store. And you may not understand it,

422
00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:46,760
Speaker 4: but God wouldn't have allowed it if he wasn't going

423
00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:50,679
Speaker 4: to use it to your advantage. Right now, God is

424
00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:54,560
Speaker 4: working behind the scenes. He sees what you're dealing with.

425
00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:59,040
Speaker 4: He knows how you feel. He's saying the night seasons

426
00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:03,840
Speaker 4: are not permanent. You may be in that cocoon. It's dark, uncomfortable,

427
00:27:04,200 --> 00:27:08,240
Speaker 4: but He's making you and molding you. Your wings are developing.

428
00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:11,199
Speaker 4: You're about to take off to a new level. I

429
00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:15,040
Speaker 4: believe and declare you're about to see a night shift

430
00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:20,160
Speaker 4: from sickness to health, from lack to abundance, from addictions

431
00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:23,320
Speaker 4: to freedom. The light is going to come bursting in.

432
00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:27,680
Speaker 4: Get ready's for some wows in Jesus' name. If you

433
00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:32,400
Speaker 4: receive it, can you say amen? I'd like to give

434
00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:36,000
Speaker 4: you an opportunity to make Jesus the lord of your life.

435
00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:40,960
Speaker 4: Would you pray with me? Just say, Lord, Jesus, I

436
00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:46,040
Speaker 4: repent of my sins. Come into my heart. I make

437
00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:50,560
Speaker 4: you my Lord and savior. If you prayed that simple prayer,

438
00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:53,160
Speaker 4: we believe you got born again. Get in a good

439
00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:57,159
Speaker 4: Bible based church, and keep God first place. Victorian, I
