I promise you we will make 52 00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:28,240 Speaker 4: you feel right at home. But I like to start 53 00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:31,040 Speaker 4: with something funny, and I heard about this little girl. 54 00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:34,480 Speaker 4: She asked her mother how the human race got started. 55 00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:38,880 Speaker 4: Her mother explained how God created Adam and Eve and 56 00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:42,160 Speaker 4: they had children on and on here we are today. 57 00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:45,880 Speaker 4: A few days later, she asked her father the same question. 58 00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:50,000 Speaker 4: He explained, how many years ago there were monkeys, and 59 00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:52,959 Speaker 4: little by little they became more like people, and now 60 00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:57,440 Speaker 4: here we are confused. She went back to her mother, said, Mom, 61 00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:01,520 Speaker 4: you said God created people, said we came from monkeys. 62 00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:04,480 Speaker 4: How can that be? She said, oh, honey, that's easy. 63 00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:07,079 Speaker 4: I told you about my side of the family that 64 00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:10,600 Speaker 4: told you about his Say it like you mean it. 65 00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:14,000 Speaker 4: This is my Bible. I am what it says, I am. 66 00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:16,960 Speaker 4: I have what it says I have. I can do 67 00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:19,680 Speaker 4: what it says I can do. Today I will be 68 00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:24,000 Speaker 4: taught the word of God. I boldly confess my mind 69 00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:27,560 Speaker 4: is alert, my heart is receptive. I will never be 70 00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:32,799 Speaker 4: the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you. I want 71 00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:37,120 Speaker 4: to talk to you today about positioned for increase. We 72 00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:39,880 Speaker 4: all have to deal with things that come to an end. 73 00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:43,640 Speaker 4: We lost our main client, a friend we could always 74 00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:46,920 Speaker 4: count on is moving away, or a loved one went 75 00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:50,240 Speaker 4: to be with the Lord. We've seen God's blessing in 76 00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:53,320 Speaker 4: the past. We know we have his favor, but it 77 00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:57,280 Speaker 4: seems like that favor has been taken away. But God 78 00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:01,560 Speaker 4: will never remove something unless he has something better coming. 79 00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:05,839 Speaker 4: If he didn't stop certain things, we would never get 80 00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:09,280 Speaker 4: out of our comfort zone. We would stay with what's familiar. 81 00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:14,080 Speaker 4: So sometimes God will put an end to what doesn't 82 00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:17,719 Speaker 4: make sense to us. We don't understand why the friend 83 00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:21,760 Speaker 4: walked away, why the business pushed us out, why sales 84 00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:24,960 Speaker 4: aren't what they used to be. God is not doing 85 00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:28,440 Speaker 4: that to make your life more difficult. He's getting you 86 00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:32,520 Speaker 4: in position for increase. He had to stop what was 87 00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:36,560 Speaker 4: working to force you to stretch so you could come 88 00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:41,560 Speaker 4: in to greater provision, greater opportunity. This is what happened 89 00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:44,760 Speaker 4: with the Israelites. They had been in slavery for many 90 00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:49,599 Speaker 4: years when God supernaturally brought them out. These two million 91 00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:54,200 Speaker 4: people headed into the desert toward the Promised Land. The 92 00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:58,279 Speaker 4: problem was there wasn't anything to eat out there, no 93 00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:02,800 Speaker 4: way to survive. So every morning God gave them something 94 00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:06,880 Speaker 4: called mana. It was like bread that formed on the ground. 95 00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:11,040 Speaker 4: For forty years, as they traveled the desert, one thing 96 00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:14,560 Speaker 4: they could always count on was the Manna. They had 97 00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:18,120 Speaker 4: enemies to fight, they had to overcome the heat, there 98 00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:22,719 Speaker 4: were snakes and scorpions, but every day, like clockwork, there 99 00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:26,000 Speaker 4: was the mana. They knew that was the hand of 100 00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:30,520 Speaker 4: God taking care of them. What they didn't realize was 101 00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:36,240 Speaker 4: the mana was only temporary provision. They were satisfied they 102 00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:40,440 Speaker 4: had something to eat, but God wasn't satisfied. He was 103 00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:44,240 Speaker 4: taking them into a land flowing with milk and honey, 104 00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:49,159 Speaker 4: a land filled with resources with plenty of food. When 105 00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:53,919 Speaker 4: the Israelites got close to the Promised Land, something interesting happened. 106 00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:58,919 Speaker 4: The scripture says the manna ceased, and they never saw 107 00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:04,039 Speaker 4: the mana again. Imagine what the people thought after forty 108 00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:08,920 Speaker 4: years of having mana. Over fourteen thousand mornings, they got 109 00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:12,800 Speaker 4: up and had breakfast at their tent. Now it was 110 00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:16,920 Speaker 4: nowhere to be found. I can hear them panicking, God, 111 00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:21,480 Speaker 4: what's happening? Why won't you provide for us anymore? They 112 00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:25,000 Speaker 4: would have lived off of manna the rest of their lives. 113 00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:29,800 Speaker 4: So God on purpose stopped the mana. He said, from 114 00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:32,760 Speaker 4: now on, I want you to cook your own food. 115 00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:37,159 Speaker 4: There's provision all around you. You don't need this manna 116 00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:41,640 Speaker 4: to sustain you. I'm bringing you into abundance. It's not 117 00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:45,680 Speaker 4: a coincidence that the manna stopped when they were about 118 00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:50,320 Speaker 4: to go into the promised land. When something ceases in 119 00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:55,400 Speaker 4: your life, that's an indication that increase is coming. God 120 00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:59,520 Speaker 4: will never stop something unless he has greater provision on 121 00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:04,599 Speaker 4: the way. Maybe a friend walked away, a contract fell through, 122 00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:07,400 Speaker 4: you had a set back in your family. It's not 123 00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:10,040 Speaker 4: as easy as it used to be. The man is 124 00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:13,280 Speaker 4: not coming. You're having to cook your own food. It's 125 00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:16,800 Speaker 4: because you're about to step in to a new level. 126 00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:21,679 Speaker 4: The manner drying up is a sign you were close 127 00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:25,880 Speaker 4: to your promised land. What you were satisfied with was 128 00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:31,040 Speaker 4: only temporary provision. You were blessed. Life was good, but 129 00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:34,520 Speaker 4: God has so much more in store for you. He 130 00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:38,400 Speaker 4: had to cease the friendship. He had to move that 131 00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:42,040 Speaker 4: person away, not because they're not good, but they were 132 00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:46,080 Speaker 4: limiting you. They can't go where you're going. God had 133 00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:49,320 Speaker 4: to close the door so he can bring people into 134 00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:53,520 Speaker 4: your life that will push you into your purpose. Or 135 00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:57,360 Speaker 4: maybe that position you were counting on didn't work out. 136 00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:01,200 Speaker 4: You were hoping it would last, but it was not permanent. 137 00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:07,680 Speaker 4: It's because it was only temporary provision. God stopped the manna, 138 00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:11,559 Speaker 4: not because he's forgotten about you. He's about to take 139 00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:16,040 Speaker 4: you into your promised land. He ceased it for one reason, 140 00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:19,760 Speaker 4: to increase you, to take you where you couldn't go 141 00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:24,160 Speaker 4: on your own. But when things cease, it's easy to think, God, 142 00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:28,240 Speaker 4: where are you? Where is the manna? What's happening? It's 143 00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:30,920 Speaker 4: been this way for years. I'm counting on it. It's 144 00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:34,760 Speaker 4: tempting to live worried, think we're doing something wrong. We 145 00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:38,600 Speaker 4: must have stepped out of God's favor. God wouldn't have 146 00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:42,760 Speaker 4: ceased it if he didn't have something better coming. When 147 00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:46,360 Speaker 4: that mana quits appearing, instead of being discouraged, have a 148 00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:49,559 Speaker 4: new perspective. You're on the verge of a new level. 149 00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:53,200 Speaker 4: That's an indication that walls are about to come down, 150 00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:56,560 Speaker 4: giants are about to be defeated. You're about to take 151 00:08:56,640 --> 00:09:02,080 Speaker 4: new ground, see new levels, new opportunities. My friend Tony 152 00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:07,240 Speaker 4: Dungee played professional football for many years. After a successful career, 153 00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:11,760 Speaker 4: in nineteen ninety six, he landed his first job as 154 00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:15,640 Speaker 4: a head coach of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers football team. 155 00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:18,880 Speaker 4: Was a dream come true. He knew it was the 156 00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:22,960 Speaker 4: hand of God opening that door. For six years, everything 157 00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:27,120 Speaker 4: went great. They were winning more games, making more progress. 158 00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:30,839 Speaker 4: The manna was there every morning, the favor, the provision. 159 00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:36,680 Speaker 4: But one day he was unexpectedly let go. They fired him. 160 00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:40,280 Speaker 4: He thought, God, I know you gave me this position. 161 00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:45,160 Speaker 4: When the manna stops, that means God is up to something. 162 00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:49,679 Speaker 4: The question is, will you get negative God, I can't 163 00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:53,040 Speaker 4: believe this happened, this is not fair. Or will you 164 00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:56,280 Speaker 4: say God, I know you wouldn't have closed this door 165 00:09:56,600 --> 00:09:59,480 Speaker 4: unless you were about to open a better door. So Lord, 166 00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:02,600 Speaker 4: I think it that you're in control, that your plans 167 00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:05,559 Speaker 4: for me are for good, that what you started in 168 00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:10,080 Speaker 4: my life you will finish. The man of cci is 169 00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:14,800 Speaker 4: a test many people get bitter give up on their dreams. 170 00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:18,760 Speaker 4: You have to understand the reason the man of stops, 171 00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:23,480 Speaker 4: the reason doors close, the reason people walk away is 172 00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:27,800 Speaker 4: you are close to your promised land. That's God taking away. 173 00:10:28,080 --> 00:10:33,480 Speaker 4: The temporary provision may look permanent to us. We were satisfied, 174 00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:37,120 Speaker 4: but God's dream for your life is much bigger than 175 00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:41,839 Speaker 4: your own. Coach Dungee was disappointed, but he didn't sit 176 00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:45,800 Speaker 4: around in self pity thinking about how bad life was. 177 00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:48,800 Speaker 4: He knew the same God that opened the door in 178 00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:53,280 Speaker 4: Tampa Bay had now closed the door. It wasn't long 179 00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:56,200 Speaker 4: after he was let go that he received a phone 180 00:10:56,240 --> 00:11:00,880 Speaker 4: call from the Indianapolis Colts football team. They said, we're 181 00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:05,040 Speaker 4: looking for a coach. Are you interested. Coach Dungee took 182 00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:08,000 Speaker 4: the job. He went on to win the Super Bowl 183 00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:13,080 Speaker 4: with the Colts. What looked like a great disappointment getting 184 00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:17,640 Speaker 4: pushed out the manner stopping was really a great blessing. 185 00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:23,000 Speaker 4: Has something ceased in your life? You went through a disappointment, 186 00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:27,479 Speaker 4: a door closed, a person walked away. It's more difficult 187 00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:30,120 Speaker 4: than it used to be. The manna is not there. 188 00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:34,200 Speaker 4: Every morning God is saying, get ready, I'm about to 189 00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:38,120 Speaker 4: do something that you've never seen. He didn't cease the 190 00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:43,320 Speaker 4: provision because he's through with you. He stopped it because 191 00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:47,320 Speaker 4: it's only temporary. He's about to launch you into a 192 00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:51,120 Speaker 4: new level. Now, don't let it sour you. Why did 193 00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:54,200 Speaker 4: this company do me wrong? Why did these people leave 194 00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:58,160 Speaker 4: me out? It wasn't their choice. It was God closing 195 00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:02,160 Speaker 4: the door. God was moving them. It was God stopping 196 00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:05,880 Speaker 4: the mana. God told the Israelites, you don't need this 197 00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:10,680 Speaker 4: manna anymore. There's provision all around you. They were so 198 00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:14,480 Speaker 4: close to the promised land. There was all kinds of 199 00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:18,960 Speaker 4: food available. But if God had kept giving them manna, 200 00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:22,560 Speaker 4: they would have missed the abundance that belonged to them. 201 00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:26,600 Speaker 4: When the manna ceases in your life, like with them, 202 00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:30,840 Speaker 4: you're so close to your promised land. The provision is 203 00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:34,480 Speaker 4: already there. Now you have to cook your own food. 204 00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:38,200 Speaker 4: God's not going to do this for you. You can't 205 00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:42,520 Speaker 4: stay where it's familiar, what you're used to, what's easy. 206 00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:45,920 Speaker 4: You have to stretch, get out of your comfort zone, 207 00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:50,800 Speaker 4: take some steps of faith. There is greatness in you. 208 00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:54,920 Speaker 4: You weren't created to live off a manna. Don't have 209 00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:59,280 Speaker 4: a man of mentality. Don't complain when something ceases in 210 00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:03,280 Speaker 4: your life. If it stopped, it wasn't supposed to be permanent. 211 00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:06,520 Speaker 4: It's just a step on the way to your destiny. 212 00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:11,520 Speaker 4: The Israelites had to accept not having any manna meant 213 00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:14,360 Speaker 4: that it was a new day and God was doing 214 00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:17,880 Speaker 4: a new thing. If they would have been sour because 215 00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:21,040 Speaker 4: the Man of ceased, they would have never seen walls 216 00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:24,680 Speaker 4: of Jericho come down. They would have never conquered city 217 00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:28,760 Speaker 4: after city and lived in the land of abundance. Have 218 00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:32,320 Speaker 4: you let what ceased in your life cause you to 219 00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:35,560 Speaker 4: be sour or do you see it as a sign 220 00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:39,720 Speaker 4: that you're about to go into your promised land. When 221 00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:42,280 Speaker 4: the Man of ceases, you have to dig down deep. 222 00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:45,800 Speaker 4: This business may have slowed down, but Lord, I want 223 00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:48,400 Speaker 4: to thank you that new doors are about to open. 224 00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:52,000 Speaker 4: This person walked away. Lord, thank you, you have somebody 225 00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:56,200 Speaker 4: better coming. This marriage is difficult, but Lord, thank you. Peace. 226 00:13:56,679 --> 00:14:01,840 Speaker 4: Joy restoration is on the way. The closer the Israelites 227 00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:05,080 Speaker 4: got to the Promised Land, the less God did for 228 00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:09,520 Speaker 4: them when they were in slavery. God sent plagues on 229 00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:13,000 Speaker 4: the Pharaoh. Israelites didn't have to do anything. They just 230 00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:17,319 Speaker 4: sat back and watched. God changed the Pharaoh's mind. God 231 00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:21,840 Speaker 4: parted the Red Sea. God drowned their enemies in the desert. 232 00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:25,200 Speaker 4: God gave them water out of a rock. God gave 233 00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:28,640 Speaker 4: them quell to eat. On and on. They saw the 234 00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:32,440 Speaker 4: hand of God manna every morning. But when they were 235 00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:36,400 Speaker 4: about to go into the Promised Land, God said, now 236 00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:39,760 Speaker 4: I want you to cook your own food. I'll bring 237 00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:42,560 Speaker 4: the walls down, but you have to march around them 238 00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:46,000 Speaker 4: seven times. I'll defeat your enemies, but you have to 239 00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:50,280 Speaker 4: go in and possess the land. As they got closer, 240 00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:54,960 Speaker 4: they had to grow up. God expected them to stand 241 00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:59,240 Speaker 4: on their own two feet to encourage themselves to fight 242 00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:03,040 Speaker 4: off the fear. He was saying, the day is over 243 00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:06,800 Speaker 4: when I'm going to bring you the manna. The provision 244 00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:10,800 Speaker 4: is all around. I've brought you this far. I fought 245 00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:14,600 Speaker 4: all your battles. I gave you breakfast every morning. But 246 00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:18,440 Speaker 4: for this new level to enter into this place of abundance, 247 00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:23,160 Speaker 4: you have to step up. With the Promised Land comes 248 00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:28,160 Speaker 4: a new level of responsibility. Maybe in the past you've 249 00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:31,920 Speaker 4: relied on other people to keep you encouraged, cheered up. 250 00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:35,840 Speaker 4: God is going to begin to wean those people away 251 00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:40,200 Speaker 4: at some point that manner is going to cease, not 252 00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:43,640 Speaker 4: because God doesn't love you, but he wants you to 253 00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:47,560 Speaker 4: stand on your own. You can't become who you were 254 00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:52,240 Speaker 4: created to be always depending on somebody else. You don't 255 00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:56,560 Speaker 4: need that crutch. Start encouraging yourself all through the day. 256 00:15:57,000 --> 00:16:00,240 Speaker 4: I am strong in the Lord. Something good is going 257 00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:03,200 Speaker 4: to happen to me. God being for me is more 258 00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:07,400 Speaker 4: than the world being against me. To enter your promised land, 259 00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:10,880 Speaker 4: you have to cook your own food. Some of the 260 00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:14,360 Speaker 4: things God has done for you in the past, having 261 00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:18,080 Speaker 4: people there to encourage you, causing everything to fall into place, 262 00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:22,320 Speaker 4: that's not going to continue. If God kept doing everything 263 00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:27,400 Speaker 4: for us, we wouldn't see the abundance all around. You 264 00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:31,640 Speaker 4: may wonder why certain things seem more difficult. Raising your 265 00:16:31,760 --> 00:16:35,560 Speaker 4: children is not as easy at work, It's more complicated 266 00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:39,040 Speaker 4: in your finances. You're working harder for the same income, 267 00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:43,680 Speaker 4: staying courage, you're cooking your own food. You're about to 268 00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:47,720 Speaker 4: enter into your promised land. That's when things will shift 269 00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:52,080 Speaker 4: in your favor. That's when you'll see increase promotion favor 270 00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:55,880 Speaker 4: like you've never seen. But we have to pass this 271 00:16:56,040 --> 00:17:00,960 Speaker 4: test of not falling apart. When the manner ceases when 272 00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:04,119 Speaker 4: things are not coming as easily as they used to. 273 00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:08,800 Speaker 4: Take it as a compliment. You're growing. God is saying, 274 00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:11,960 Speaker 4: I don't have to keep feeding you manna. I don't 275 00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:15,959 Speaker 4: have to sustain you off this temporary provision. You're getting 276 00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:19,520 Speaker 4: stronger to where you can handle the fullness of what 277 00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:23,879 Speaker 4: I have in store. Before the Israelites could enter the 278 00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:28,040 Speaker 4: Promised Land, they had to say goodbye to the familiar, 279 00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:32,960 Speaker 4: Goodbye to manna that they had had forty years. Imagine 280 00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:36,960 Speaker 4: when it stopped coming. They could have been discouraged, lost 281 00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:41,200 Speaker 4: their passion. Instead, they said, fine, we'll go get our 282 00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:46,119 Speaker 4: own food. They went out and found all kinds of corn, grain, wheat. 283 00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:51,760 Speaker 4: It was all available. Some people never succeed because they're 284 00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:56,439 Speaker 4: not willing to say goodbye to the familiar, Goodbye to 285 00:17:56,560 --> 00:18:00,720 Speaker 4: a friendship that's holding them back, Goodbye to job where 286 00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:05,600 Speaker 4: they're not fulfilled, or goodbye to old mindsets to limited thinking. 287 00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:10,480 Speaker 4: When the manna ceases, that friendship is not feeding you anymore. 288 00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:14,080 Speaker 4: It's just pulling you down, making you more negative. If 289 00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:17,960 Speaker 4: you're not willing to say goodbye, you'll miss your promised land. 290 00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:21,320 Speaker 4: When you know you're supposed to take a step of 291 00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:26,320 Speaker 4: faith and teach that class. Start your business, write that book, 292 00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:30,280 Speaker 4: move into that new neighborhood. Don't stay where it's comfortable. 293 00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:34,360 Speaker 4: You can't play it safe your whole life and become 294 00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:38,040 Speaker 4: who you were created to be. God is the one 295 00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:41,359 Speaker 4: who put the desires in you. God is the one 296 00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:44,320 Speaker 4: that caused the manna to cease. It was good for 297 00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:48,280 Speaker 4: a season, but you weren't made to live off a manna. 298 00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:52,320 Speaker 4: You have to say goodbye to the familiar if you're 299 00:18:52,359 --> 00:18:56,080 Speaker 4: going to keep moving forward. It doesn't mean that people 300 00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:59,359 Speaker 4: are bad, but everyone is not supposed to be in 301 00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:03,560 Speaker 4: your life. And when God closes a door, the longer 302 00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:06,080 Speaker 4: we hold on, the more miserable we're going to be. 303 00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:11,040 Speaker 4: When the manner stops for that certain position, you know 304 00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:14,280 Speaker 4: you're supposed to step up. You've got bigger things in you, 305 00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:18,320 Speaker 4: but you're afraid. The problem is the grace for that 306 00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:22,280 Speaker 4: old position is not going to be there. God has 307 00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:25,840 Speaker 4: moved on. The favor is waiting for you at your 308 00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:29,680 Speaker 4: next assignment. You have to stretch, get out of your 309 00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:33,720 Speaker 4: comfort zone. If you'll say goodbye to the familiar, you'll 310 00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:37,679 Speaker 4: see the new things that God has in store. This 311 00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:40,680 Speaker 4: is what I did. I worked behind the scenes here 312 00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:44,080 Speaker 4: at Lakewood for seventeen years. I thought that's what I 313 00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:47,560 Speaker 4: do the rest of my life. I was happy and fulfilled. 314 00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:51,040 Speaker 4: But in nineteen ninety nine my father went to be 315 00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:54,960 Speaker 4: with the Lord, and everything changed for me. I knew 316 00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:57,679 Speaker 4: I was supposed to step up and pastor the church, 317 00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:01,880 Speaker 4: but I liked being behind the se I was comfortable, 318 00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:04,199 Speaker 4: didn't want to have to get out in front of people. 319 00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:08,000 Speaker 4: When my father was alive, it was easy, like with 320 00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:11,639 Speaker 4: the children of Israel. The Mana came to me every morning. 321 00:20:12,280 --> 00:20:15,320 Speaker 4: But when Daddy passed, it was like the Manna ceased. 322 00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:18,879 Speaker 4: He was gone. Nothing I could do to bring him back. 323 00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:23,560 Speaker 4: Sometimes God will close a door no matter how much 324 00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:27,159 Speaker 4: we don't like it. It's not going to reopen. The 325 00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:31,320 Speaker 4: good news is God never ceases the manna unless he 326 00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:35,800 Speaker 4: has greater provision coming. He never closes the door if 327 00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:39,080 Speaker 4: he's not going to open up another door. But too 328 00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:43,440 Speaker 4: often we're trying to hold onto old manna, old friendships, 329 00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:49,000 Speaker 4: old attitudes, old positions. When God ceases that manna, it 330 00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:52,040 Speaker 4: means he's about to do a new thing. You have 331 00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:55,959 Speaker 4: to let go of the old. What's interesting is the 332 00:20:56,040 --> 00:21:00,400 Speaker 4: manna God gave the Israelites was only good for one day. 333 00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:03,600 Speaker 4: They could gather up enough for three or four days, 334 00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:07,840 Speaker 4: but in twenty four hours it would spoil. It wouldn't last. 335 00:21:08,840 --> 00:21:12,160 Speaker 4: When we try to hold on to old manna. What 336 00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:15,520 Speaker 4: God used to do. A friendship that was good for 337 00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:19,480 Speaker 4: a season, but not now, a job where we're not fulfilled. 338 00:21:20,119 --> 00:21:23,879 Speaker 4: All that manna is spoiled. You're not growing. It's not 339 00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:28,600 Speaker 4: feeding you anymore. Maybe in your career, what used to 340 00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:32,720 Speaker 4: challenge you doesn't challenge you anymore. You hear God telling 341 00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:36,119 Speaker 4: you to stretch, to take steps of faith. You wonder 342 00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:39,640 Speaker 4: why you're not fulfilled, why you're not growing. It's because 343 00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:44,280 Speaker 4: that manna is old. God has freshness, He's a god 344 00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:48,440 Speaker 4: of new beginnings. Yes, the manna was fine for a season. 345 00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:52,720 Speaker 4: It brought you to the Promised Land. It sustained you 346 00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:56,200 Speaker 4: while you were learning. But at some point the manna 347 00:21:56,359 --> 00:21:59,520 Speaker 4: is going to cease. That's when you have to prepare 348 00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:02,400 Speaker 4: your own food. You have to step up to who 349 00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:06,479 Speaker 4: you were created to be. When my father passed, I 350 00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:09,640 Speaker 4: was afraid, but I did what I'm asking you to do. 351 00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:13,160 Speaker 4: I got out of my comfort zone. I said goodbye 352 00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:16,280 Speaker 4: to the familiar I stepped up to pastor the church. 353 00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:20,159 Speaker 4: God has taken me further than I ever imagined. But 354 00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:23,320 Speaker 4: had my father not gone to be with the Lord, 355 00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:27,160 Speaker 4: had that manner not ceased, I would have never made 356 00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:30,760 Speaker 4: it into my promised land. You don't have to lose 357 00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:34,560 Speaker 4: a loved one, but there will be times that God 358 00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:38,679 Speaker 4: ceases good things in your life. You don't feel like 359 00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:42,480 Speaker 4: you have the favor that you used to stay in courage. 360 00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:45,639 Speaker 4: That means you're about to step up to a new level. 361 00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:50,320 Speaker 4: God is taking you from glory to glory. What you 362 00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:54,399 Speaker 4: were satisfied with was one level of glory. It was 363 00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:57,879 Speaker 4: just temporary provision. God's about to take it to a 364 00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:01,400 Speaker 4: new level of glory where you see favor an increase 365 00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:05,919 Speaker 4: like you've never seen. God told the prophet Elijah to 366 00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:09,080 Speaker 4: go down to the brook Cherith and the ravens would 367 00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:12,920 Speaker 4: feed him there. Elijah arrived at the brook, he had 368 00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:17,040 Speaker 4: provision week after week. He didn't have to go get 369 00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:21,160 Speaker 4: the food every day. Like clockwork, the ravens came to him. 370 00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:25,760 Speaker 4: He had home delivery before Domino's. I'm sure he thought, 371 00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:29,119 Speaker 4: it doesn't get any better than this. God, you treat 372 00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:33,399 Speaker 4: me so good. For months, the ravens kept coming. He 373 00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:36,520 Speaker 4: was blessed. He knew God's favor was on him. He 374 00:23:36,600 --> 00:23:41,199 Speaker 4: was comfortable. But one day the brook dried up and 375 00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:45,360 Speaker 4: the ravens quit coming. God said, Elijah, now I want 376 00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:48,080 Speaker 4: you to go to the city of Zirapath. I have 377 00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:51,400 Speaker 4: a widow that's going to take care of you. Elijah 378 00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:54,880 Speaker 4: could have thought that couldn't be God. He's blessed me here. 379 00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:58,520 Speaker 4: I've seen his favor almost say where I am. He 380 00:23:58,520 --> 00:24:02,199 Speaker 4: could have held onto the all. The problem is the 381 00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:06,600 Speaker 4: brook dried up, the ravens quit coming. Why it was 382 00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:11,840 Speaker 4: temporary provision. Elijah went to the city of Zeropath. That's 383 00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:15,840 Speaker 4: where his ministry began. He saw some of the greatest 384 00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:20,840 Speaker 4: miracles ever recorded in the scripture. It's not a coincidence 385 00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:25,240 Speaker 4: that it happened after the brook dried up, after the 386 00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:28,280 Speaker 4: man as seised, when it looked like he didn't have 387 00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:32,560 Speaker 4: God's favor and blessing like he used to. Actually that 388 00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:35,439 Speaker 4: was a sign he was about to step in to 389 00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:40,280 Speaker 4: a new level of his destiny. Are you discouraged because 390 00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:43,680 Speaker 4: the brook dried up? Are you frustrated because the man 391 00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:46,560 Speaker 4: as seised? Things are not happening like they used to 392 00:24:47,359 --> 00:24:51,879 Speaker 4: What you don't realize is God is positioning you for increase. 393 00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:55,959 Speaker 4: It looks like a setback, but really it's a setup. 394 00:24:56,359 --> 00:25:00,040 Speaker 4: He's about to do something that you've never seen. The 395 00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:03,240 Speaker 4: brook drying up is not the end. It's a sign 396 00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:09,720 Speaker 4: that greater provision is coming, greater opportunity, greater influence. Don't 397 00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:13,199 Speaker 4: complain about the brook. Get ready for the new things 398 00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:16,720 Speaker 4: God is about to do. Thank him. When you don't 399 00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:20,879 Speaker 4: see any sign of water, keep believing even when the 400 00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:25,159 Speaker 4: doors closed, keep stretching, doing the right thing. The brook 401 00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:28,119 Speaker 4: may have dried up, but what you can't see is 402 00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:32,320 Speaker 4: a flood of God's favor is headed your way. In 403 00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:35,199 Speaker 4: two thousand and six, a friend of mine had a 404 00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:39,600 Speaker 4: dream to put the Bible on computer. He developed a 405 00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:43,760 Speaker 4: website where the Bible was available and you could write 406 00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:47,080 Speaker 4: notes out to the side, like a traditional print Bible. 407 00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:50,080 Speaker 4: You could pull out passages and send to other people, 408 00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:53,280 Speaker 4: a lot of features that had not been available. He 409 00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:56,240 Speaker 4: thought it was a good idea, but the first month 410 00:25:56,520 --> 00:26:00,840 Speaker 4: only twenty thousand people visited the site. And that was fine, 411 00:26:01,119 --> 00:26:03,680 Speaker 4: but they were hoping for a lot more. There was 412 00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:07,520 Speaker 4: very little engagement. He and his team has spent a 413 00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:11,080 Speaker 4: lot of time and money. After a year, they were 414 00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:14,040 Speaker 4: ready to shut it down. It wasn't worth the effort. 415 00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:18,520 Speaker 4: Two weeks before they pulled the plug, he had another idea. 416 00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:22,720 Speaker 4: What if instead of making a website with the Bible, 417 00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:27,480 Speaker 4: they made the Bible available on a mobile phone. That way, 418 00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:30,800 Speaker 4: everybody would have the Bible where they went. He was 419 00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:34,080 Speaker 4: a little concerned about how such a big book could 420 00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:37,720 Speaker 4: fit on a tiny screen, but something on the inside 421 00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:41,200 Speaker 4: felt right. Two thousand and eight, he and his team 422 00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:46,320 Speaker 4: designed and built a mobile website for the Bible. Not 423 00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:51,679 Speaker 4: long after that, Apple announced the opportunity to develop what 424 00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:55,560 Speaker 4: we now know are apps for our phone. My friend 425 00:26:55,640 --> 00:26:59,840 Speaker 4: submitted his app. It was approved and available the first 426 00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:04,240 Speaker 4: day the app store launched on Apple. They were hoping 427 00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:08,359 Speaker 4: for eighty thousand downloads the first year, but in three 428 00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:14,480 Speaker 4: days they had eighty three thousand downloads. Today, the U 429 00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:19,240 Speaker 4: version Bible app, developed by my friend Bobby Gruenwald, has 430 00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:23,639 Speaker 4: been downloaded on over four hundred million phones in every 431 00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:29,200 Speaker 4: country of the world. What's interesting is the success came 432 00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:33,800 Speaker 4: after the brook dried up, after the Mana ceased, when 433 00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:38,000 Speaker 4: Bobby was tempted to give up. Sometimes God will shut 434 00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:42,119 Speaker 4: the door to push us into our promised land. He 435 00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:47,159 Speaker 4: ceases the Mana because it's only temporary provision. Yes, it 436 00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:50,399 Speaker 4: could sustain us, but what God has in mind is 437 00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:55,200 Speaker 4: much bigger, much better. Now, maybe the Mana has ceased 438 00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:58,720 Speaker 4: in some area of your life, you're tempted to give 439 00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:02,879 Speaker 4: up on a dream, lose your passion. Like with him, 440 00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:08,120 Speaker 4: it means greater provision is coming. The brook drying up 441 00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:11,920 Speaker 4: is God getting you in position for something that you've 442 00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:15,560 Speaker 4: never seen. Now, this is not the time to get discouraged. 443 00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:19,600 Speaker 4: This is the time to get ready, stir your faith up. 444 00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:23,080 Speaker 4: You are close to your promised land. If you will 445 00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:27,600 Speaker 4: do this, I believe and declare Like Elijah, like with Bobby, 446 00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:30,760 Speaker 4: doors are about to open that no man can shut. 447 00:28:31,080 --> 00:28:37,359 Speaker 4: New opportunities, favor, promotion, healing the fullness of your destiny 448 00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:40,840 Speaker 4: in Jesus's name, and if you receive it, can you 449 00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:45,800 Speaker 4: say amen? Today I'd like to give you an opportunity 450 00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:49,200 Speaker 4: to make Jesus the lord of your life. Would you 451 00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:53,920 Speaker 4: pray with me? Just say, Lord Jesus, I'll repent of 452 00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:58,840 Speaker 4: my sins. Come into my heart. I'll make you my 453 00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:02,959 Speaker 4: lord and save you. If you prayed that simple prayer. 454 00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:06,080 Speaker 4: We believe you got born again, Get in a good 455 00:29:06,120 --> 00:29:10,680 Speaker 4: Bible based church, and keep God first place.
