But thanks again for tuning in. 53 00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:30,359 Speaker 4: I like to start with something funny and one day, 54 00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:33,679 Speaker 4: Jesus and Satan were having a contest to see who 55 00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:37,880 Speaker 4: was better with computers. After six hours of making spreadsheets 56 00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:41,680 Speaker 4: and designing web pages, a thunderstorm knocked the power out. 57 00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:46,600 Speaker 4: When they rebooted their computers, Satan started screaming, it's all lost, 58 00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:51,080 Speaker 4: all my materials gone, while Jesus quietly walked over and 59 00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:55,320 Speaker 4: printed out his turned it in. Satan complained, this isn't fair. 60 00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:58,080 Speaker 4: He must have cheated. How come he didn't lose his 61 00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:03,360 Speaker 4: material God smiled and said, Jesus saves, say it like 62 00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:06,480 Speaker 4: you mean it. This is my Bible. I am what 63 00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:09,239 Speaker 4: it says. I am, I have what it says I have, 64 00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:12,440 Speaker 4: I can do what it says I can do today. 65 00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:15,560 Speaker 4: I will be taught the word of God. I boldly 66 00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:19,440 Speaker 4: confess my mind is alert, my heart is receptive. I 67 00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:23,600 Speaker 4: will never be the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you. 68 00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:27,400 Speaker 4: I want to talk to you today about time is 69 00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:30,840 Speaker 4: on your side. We've all been through seasons in life 70 00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:34,000 Speaker 4: where it feels like we've lost time. We were in 71 00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:37,600 Speaker 4: a relationship that didn't work out. We've lost those years 72 00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:40,600 Speaker 4: we weren't raised in a healthy environment. It feels like 73 00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:43,880 Speaker 4: we've lost our childhood. We came down with an illness 74 00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:48,640 Speaker 4: or struggled with an addiction. Months past, maybe years. It's 75 00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:51,880 Speaker 4: time that we can't get back. It's easy to think 76 00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:54,840 Speaker 4: that was just a rough season. There's nothing that I 77 00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:57,680 Speaker 4: can do about it. But God said in the Book 78 00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:00,880 Speaker 4: of Joel, I will restore the year, years that the 79 00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:04,480 Speaker 4: locusts have eaten, the years that the canker worm and 80 00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:08,560 Speaker 4: palmer worm have destroyed. It's said that time is the 81 00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:11,600 Speaker 4: one thing that we can't get back. That's true in 82 00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:16,000 Speaker 4: the natural, but we have a supernatural God. He knows 83 00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:19,360 Speaker 4: how to make up for lost time. He's not going 84 00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:22,919 Speaker 4: to just restore you. He's going to restore the years 85 00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:26,520 Speaker 4: that you spent in that relationship that didn't make it. 86 00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:28,919 Speaker 4: It feels like it was a waste of time. But 87 00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:31,040 Speaker 4: God is going to make the rest of your life 88 00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:34,559 Speaker 4: so fulfilling that you don't think about what you've been through. 89 00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:38,200 Speaker 4: He's not going to just bring you out of that illness. 90 00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:41,520 Speaker 4: He's going to restore the years that you spent taking 91 00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:44,880 Speaker 4: the treatment. Your latter days will be better than your 92 00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:48,400 Speaker 4: former days. Now here's how good God is. He's even 93 00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:52,800 Speaker 4: going to restore the years that we've wasted making poor choices, 94 00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:56,479 Speaker 4: running with the wrong crowd. Years you should have been studying, 95 00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:59,400 Speaker 4: but you spent them partying. Years that you should have 96 00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:03,000 Speaker 4: been raising children, but you were distracted doing other things. 97 00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:06,000 Speaker 4: Years you should have been pursuing dreams, but you let 98 00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:10,080 Speaker 4: fear and opposition hold you back. It should be too late. 99 00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:14,200 Speaker 4: You missed your chance. God is saying, get ready, I'm 100 00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:17,400 Speaker 4: about to restore the years. I'm about to make up 101 00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:20,680 Speaker 4: for the time you missed with your children. He's not 102 00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:24,120 Speaker 4: going to just restore the relationship. He's going to restore 103 00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:26,880 Speaker 4: the years. He's going to make it as if you 104 00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:31,000 Speaker 4: never lost that time. That company you spent years at 105 00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:34,479 Speaker 4: they didn't treat you fairly. God is not going to 106 00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:36,920 Speaker 4: just turn it around, but he's going to pay you 107 00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:41,000 Speaker 4: back for what should have been yours. In this passage 108 00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:44,520 Speaker 4: from the Book of Joel, the Israelites planted their crops, 109 00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:48,039 Speaker 4: watered them, did their best to keep the weeds out. 110 00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:51,800 Speaker 4: Everything was going great. The crops took off, but when 111 00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:55,160 Speaker 4: they were about to harvest them, swarms of locusts came 112 00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:58,680 Speaker 4: in like a mighty army and ate up all the crops. 113 00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:03,360 Speaker 4: I'm sure the Israelites were discouraged. It wasn't fair. They 114 00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:05,960 Speaker 4: had worked hard but had nothing to show for it. 115 00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:09,080 Speaker 4: They made it through the winter, believed that God was 116 00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:11,719 Speaker 4: still in control. The next year, they went out and 117 00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:15,159 Speaker 4: planted their crops. They thought that setback can't stop us. 118 00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:18,359 Speaker 4: We didn't have a harvest last year, but God sustained us. 119 00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:21,440 Speaker 4: We'll have one this year. But when the crops were 120 00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:24,760 Speaker 4: ready to harvest, here came the locusts, just like the 121 00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:28,880 Speaker 4: year before. When they saw them over the horizon, I 122 00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:32,640 Speaker 4: can imagine how their hearts sunk as they sat there 123 00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:36,360 Speaker 4: and watched millions of locusts slowly eat up their crops. 124 00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:39,839 Speaker 4: It was like pouring salt on a wound. This didn't 125 00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:43,159 Speaker 4: happen just one year or just two years, but four 126 00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:48,240 Speaker 4: consecutive years their harvest was completely wiped out. They were 127 00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:51,800 Speaker 4: tempted to think there's no use even planning. It's not 128 00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:54,520 Speaker 4: worth the effort. We know what's going to happen. These 129 00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:57,880 Speaker 4: locusts are going to come right back. Joel. I'm believing 130 00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:00,359 Speaker 4: for my health to improve, but every time time I 131 00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:03,800 Speaker 4: go for a checkup, it's the same negative report. I'm 132 00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:07,080 Speaker 4: being my best at work, but I'm not being promoted 133 00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:11,760 Speaker 4: like them. It feels like your harvest is being eaten. 134 00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:15,560 Speaker 4: You're doing the right thing, but the locusts keeps showing up. 135 00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:19,920 Speaker 4: While the Israelites were discouraged, thinking they would never see 136 00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:23,000 Speaker 4: a harvest, God spoke to them through the prophet Joel. 137 00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:26,280 Speaker 4: He said, in effect, I know it hasn't been fair. 138 00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:30,440 Speaker 4: I've seen what didn't work out, I've seen what's been stolen, 139 00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:33,840 Speaker 4: and I'm not going to just stop the locust. I'm 140 00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:36,480 Speaker 4: not going to just give you a harvest this season. 141 00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:40,240 Speaker 4: I'm going to restore the years that were stolen. I'm 142 00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:43,520 Speaker 4: going to give you this season's harvest plus four more 143 00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:48,080 Speaker 4: harvest seasons. That's how amazing God is He's going to 144 00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:52,040 Speaker 4: make up for the years that you've lost. The scripture 145 00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:55,520 Speaker 4: went on to say, your threshing floor will be full 146 00:07:55,560 --> 00:08:00,160 Speaker 4: of grain, your storehouses will overflow with wheat and oil. 147 00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:04,560 Speaker 4: You will have an abundance and be satisfied. Notice what 148 00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:09,960 Speaker 4: happens when God restores abundance, overflow more than enough. They 149 00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:14,080 Speaker 4: had been in famine, not seeing any increase, and suddenly 150 00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:17,680 Speaker 4: God not only turned it around, but he paid them 151 00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:21,160 Speaker 4: back for the lost years. He made up for what 152 00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:25,160 Speaker 4: should have been theirs. God is keeping a record of 153 00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:29,040 Speaker 4: everything that should have been yours. He knows what you 154 00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:33,160 Speaker 4: didn't get. He saw you working hard, raising those children, 155 00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:36,960 Speaker 4: making sacrifices, but they haven't turned out like they should. 156 00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:40,960 Speaker 4: He saw you taking the treatment, keeping a good attitude, 157 00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:44,800 Speaker 4: praising him when it wasn't improving, thanking him when you 158 00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:48,320 Speaker 4: didn't feel well. He saw you struggling with the addiction, 159 00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:52,080 Speaker 4: trying to beat it, going to counseling, quoting the promises. 160 00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:56,480 Speaker 4: But it hasn't changed. Your harvest hasn't come. Don't worry, 161 00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:59,800 Speaker 4: it's on the way. God is not going to just 162 00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:03,960 Speaker 4: free you, just heal you, just turn your children around. 163 00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:07,959 Speaker 4: He's going to restore the years that you've lost, You're 164 00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:11,040 Speaker 4: going to still get a harvest from all those years 165 00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:14,720 Speaker 4: you prayed, those years you believed, those years you did 166 00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:18,480 Speaker 4: the right thing, You worked hard, you helped others. That 167 00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:22,640 Speaker 4: harvest has been stored up. The enemy may think he 168 00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:26,200 Speaker 4: took it, but God has the final say. He has 169 00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:30,600 Speaker 4: blessings stored up for you. When he restores the years, 170 00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:33,360 Speaker 4: you're going to be more fulfilled than you've ever been. 171 00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:37,560 Speaker 4: You're going to be healthier, stronger, more energy. You're going 172 00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:41,040 Speaker 4: to have better relationships than you've ever dreamed. You're going 173 00:09:41,080 --> 00:09:46,440 Speaker 4: to overflow with blessings, overflow with joy, overflow with favor. 174 00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:50,000 Speaker 4: A man I know was married at a young age 175 00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:53,200 Speaker 4: and they struggled as a young couple and had some 176 00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:56,400 Speaker 4: rough years, but he was determined to make it work 177 00:09:56,440 --> 00:10:00,400 Speaker 4: out and he went overboard to love, to forget, to 178 00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:03,720 Speaker 4: go the extra mile. They had two children, but at 179 00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:07,360 Speaker 4: one point the wife checked out she was done. This 180 00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:11,640 Speaker 4: man kept being his best, raising the children basically by himself. 181 00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:14,800 Speaker 4: The wife was still there, but she wouldn't have anything 182 00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:18,520 Speaker 4: to do with him. He kept praying, believing, asking God 183 00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:22,360 Speaker 4: to turn it around. But on his twenty fifth wedding anniversary, 184 00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:25,839 Speaker 4: she left a note saying that she was leaving. This 185 00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:29,559 Speaker 4: man was so heartbroken. When I saw him, it looked 186 00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:34,800 Speaker 4: like he had aged twenty years. He was normally so upbeat, fun, positive, 187 00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:37,720 Speaker 4: but it was like all the life had been drained 188 00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:41,120 Speaker 4: out of him. I tried to encourage him, let him 189 00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:43,720 Speaker 4: know that there were good days up ahead, but he 190 00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:47,080 Speaker 4: was so down. He said, I've invested all this time. 191 00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:50,120 Speaker 4: I poured my heart and soul trying to make my 192 00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:54,160 Speaker 4: marriage work, and it was all for nothing. God sees 193 00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:58,120 Speaker 4: the years you've lost. He knows the pain, the hurt, 194 00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:01,920 Speaker 4: what wasn't fair. The beauty of our God is he 195 00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:06,199 Speaker 4: doesn't just heal the wounds. He restores the years. He 196 00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:09,960 Speaker 4: makes up for what wasn't fair. You may feel like 197 00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:13,480 Speaker 4: you're in one of those lost years. The pandemic has 198 00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:17,200 Speaker 4: slowed your business, put your dreams on hold, you're dealing 199 00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:20,800 Speaker 4: with an illness. A child is off course. You've invested 200 00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:24,080 Speaker 4: so much, but it looks like it was wasted. The 201 00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:28,800 Speaker 4: locusts came and ate up your harvest. Stay encouraged. Payback 202 00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:33,079 Speaker 4: is coming. God is keeping the records. He knows how 203 00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:36,920 Speaker 4: to not just restore you, but restore the years that 204 00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:40,760 Speaker 4: were stolen, the years that were unfair, the years that 205 00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:44,920 Speaker 4: were lonely, the years you struggled with that depression. When 206 00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:48,280 Speaker 4: God restores the years, you're not going to look like 207 00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:51,040 Speaker 4: what you've been through. When he makes up for what 208 00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:54,400 Speaker 4: should have been yours, nobody is going to know that 209 00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:57,400 Speaker 4: you had the illness. Nobody will know you went through 210 00:11:57,400 --> 00:12:01,680 Speaker 4: the breakup. You'll be so blessed, so happy, so healthy, 211 00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:06,280 Speaker 4: nobody will be able to tell. Over time, my friend 212 00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:09,200 Speaker 4: began to get his joy back, his passion back, his 213 00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:13,520 Speaker 4: vision back. Instead of living defeated, he started thanking God 214 00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:16,040 Speaker 4: that there were beauty for those ashes, and that what 215 00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:19,359 Speaker 4: was meant for harm, God was turning to his advantage. 216 00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:23,199 Speaker 4: Three years later, he met a beautiful young lady. They 217 00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:26,520 Speaker 4: fell in love and ended up getting married. I'll never 218 00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:29,200 Speaker 4: forget what he told me, he said, Joel, I have 219 00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:32,800 Speaker 4: never been this happy in all my life. I never 220 00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:36,040 Speaker 4: dreamed I could be this fulfilled. I didn't know what 221 00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:40,679 Speaker 4: a healthy relationship was. What was that God was storing 222 00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:44,400 Speaker 4: the years that were lost. God knows how to make 223 00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:47,559 Speaker 4: up for what should have been yours, And just because 224 00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:50,920 Speaker 4: it hasn't happened doesn't mean that it's not going to happen. 225 00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:55,480 Speaker 4: God is storing up what belongs to you. I believe 226 00:12:55,720 --> 00:13:00,000 Speaker 4: he's about to release some of those stored up blessings. 227 00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:03,200 Speaker 4: When he restores the years, you'll see increase that you've 228 00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:08,480 Speaker 4: never seen, blessings that will catapult you ahead, divine connections, 229 00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:12,920 Speaker 4: people better than you've ever imagined. Those locusts may have 230 00:13:12,960 --> 00:13:15,480 Speaker 4: eaten up your crops, so to speak. They may have 231 00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:20,600 Speaker 4: taken your harvest. The good news is it's only temporary. 232 00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:24,720 Speaker 4: Everything that belongs to you is coming back. The health, 233 00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:28,880 Speaker 4: the freedom, the promotion, the joy, the victory. It's not 234 00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:31,760 Speaker 4: coming back like it was. It's going to come back, 235 00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:37,240 Speaker 4: press down, shaken together, running over. When God restores the years, 236 00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:41,520 Speaker 4: like with my friend, your joy will overflow. You'll have 237 00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:46,280 Speaker 4: an abundance of opportunity, an abundance of resources, and abundance 238 00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:50,679 Speaker 4: of good health. The Israelites had been in slavery many years. 239 00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:55,360 Speaker 4: They were mistreated, forced to work long hours, given quotas 240 00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:59,080 Speaker 4: that were impossible to meet. Despite how unfair it was, 241 00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:02,720 Speaker 4: they kept working hard, being their best, but not seeing 242 00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:07,520 Speaker 4: any increase, no harvest. They thought it was permanent. They 243 00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:10,839 Speaker 4: had already accepted that they would never be free, but 244 00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:14,680 Speaker 4: God sees when you're being mistreated. He sees when you're 245 00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:18,040 Speaker 4: doing the right thing, but the locusts are eating your harvest. 246 00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:22,000 Speaker 4: It may feel like God has forgotten about you. You've 247 00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:26,040 Speaker 4: accepted that you'll always struggle, always be at a disadvantage, 248 00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:30,240 Speaker 4: always have that trouble at work. Now your time is coming. 249 00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:34,560 Speaker 4: God said in Exodus, I have seen the affliction of 250 00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:38,120 Speaker 4: my people. I have heard their cries, and I am 251 00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:42,520 Speaker 4: coming down to deliver them. God was saying an effect, 252 00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:47,000 Speaker 4: enough is enough. There will be a time where God says, 253 00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:51,560 Speaker 4: that's it. I'm coming down to vindicate you, to heal you, 254 00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:55,280 Speaker 4: to promote you, to pay you back for what you're owed. 255 00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:59,800 Speaker 4: The pharaoh that was holding them captive was very powerful. 256 00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:05,040 Speaker 4: He had a huge army, the latest equipment, chariots, skilled warriors. 257 00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:08,960 Speaker 4: The Israelites had none of that, no chance in the natural. 258 00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:12,560 Speaker 4: They were slaves. But God is not limited by what 259 00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:16,800 Speaker 4: you don't have, by who's against you, by how powerful 260 00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:20,240 Speaker 4: the sickness looks, by how long you've struggled, by how 261 00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:24,200 Speaker 4: far that child is off course, nothing can stand against 262 00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:27,600 Speaker 4: our God when he comes down to deliver you. All 263 00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:32,080 Speaker 4: the forces of darkness cannot stop in don't focus on 264 00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:35,520 Speaker 4: how big your obstacles are. Focus on how big your 265 00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:39,760 Speaker 4: God is. He flung stars into space, he spoke worlds 266 00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:43,280 Speaker 4: into existence. He's saying to you what he said to them. 267 00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:47,680 Speaker 4: I'm coming down to deliver you. I'm coming down to 268 00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:51,120 Speaker 4: make things happen that you couldn't make happen. I'm coming 269 00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:55,840 Speaker 4: down to restore the years that you've lost. God sent 270 00:15:55,920 --> 00:16:00,360 Speaker 4: plague after plague on Pharaoh and his people. He was stubbed, 271 00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:03,920 Speaker 4: but he finally agreed to let them go. I'm sure 272 00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:06,760 Speaker 4: the Israelites were thrilled to be free. It was a 273 00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:10,440 Speaker 4: day they never dreamed what happen. They were satisfied to 274 00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:14,680 Speaker 4: just be leaving. But God wasn't satisfied. He doesn't just 275 00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:18,200 Speaker 4: bring you out. He restores the years that were stolen. 276 00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:21,240 Speaker 4: He pays you back for what should have been yours. 277 00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:25,840 Speaker 4: On their way out, the scripture says God caused the 278 00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:30,360 Speaker 4: Israelites to have favor with their oppressors, and they gave 279 00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:34,800 Speaker 4: them their gold, their silver, and their clothing. One version 280 00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:39,240 Speaker 4: says they left loaded down with blessings. What was that 281 00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:43,320 Speaker 4: God paying them back for four hundred and thirty years 282 00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:47,400 Speaker 4: of working as a slave. God is keeping the records 283 00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:50,720 Speaker 4: of what you're owed. Those times you've done the right thing, 284 00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:54,040 Speaker 4: but the locusts ate up your harvest. You did your best, 285 00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:57,080 Speaker 4: but you didn't get promoted. The loan didn't go through, 286 00:16:57,440 --> 00:17:02,640 Speaker 4: the anxiety didn't go away. Despite all you kept believing, praising, 287 00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:07,280 Speaker 4: being good to others like these people. Your time is coming. 288 00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:11,560 Speaker 4: God is storing up the harvest that should have been yours. 289 00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:15,080 Speaker 4: It seems like the locusts are eating it. The truth is, 290 00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:18,520 Speaker 4: what God has for you is still on the way. 291 00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:21,919 Speaker 4: The joy that should have been yours those years you 292 00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:25,840 Speaker 4: were dealing with depression, it's still coming. The resources that 293 00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:29,080 Speaker 4: should have been yours those years you were overlooked, they're 294 00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:33,040 Speaker 4: still on the way. The healing, the good relationships, the 295 00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:36,600 Speaker 4: victory you missed out on, it is still in your future. 296 00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:40,639 Speaker 4: Our daughter, Alexandra, was born a month and a half 297 00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:43,040 Speaker 4: before my father went to be with the Lord, and 298 00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:47,200 Speaker 4: during that time he was on dialysis. Many times I 299 00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:49,320 Speaker 4: would take him up to the clinic. It was a 300 00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:52,240 Speaker 4: very busy season. Then when he went to be with 301 00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:55,560 Speaker 4: the Lord, our whole life changed. I was thrust into 302 00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:58,880 Speaker 4: this position. I was doing my best just to stay afloat. 303 00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:02,879 Speaker 4: I don't remember very well. The first couple of years 304 00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:07,200 Speaker 4: of Alexandra's life. We were in such transition. I was 305 00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:10,480 Speaker 4: learning how to minister, try to figure everything out. It 306 00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:15,360 Speaker 4: consumed me. Several years later, I realized I didn't have 307 00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:19,159 Speaker 4: the same memories of Alexandra's first few years like I 308 00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:23,560 Speaker 4: did our son Jonathan's. I said, almost in passing, God, 309 00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:27,119 Speaker 4: I'm asking you to restore those years that I lost 310 00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:31,200 Speaker 4: by being so busy and so preoccupied with other things. 311 00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:35,480 Speaker 4: Alexandra was eight years old when I prayed that all 312 00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:38,600 Speaker 4: she wanted to do was to be with me. She 313 00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:40,879 Speaker 4: would rather go out in the backyard and let me 314 00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:43,800 Speaker 4: watch her do cartwheels than go over to her friends. 315 00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:46,960 Speaker 4: Sometimes I needed a break. I say, why don't you 316 00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:49,440 Speaker 4: go swimming with your cousins, Why don't you have your 317 00:18:49,440 --> 00:18:52,080 Speaker 4: friends over? She said, no, Dad, I want to stay 318 00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:54,760 Speaker 4: here with you. She'd come up to me all through 319 00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:58,040 Speaker 4: the day, put her arm around me, walk around the house. 320 00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:01,320 Speaker 4: We were the best of friends. She's twenty one years 321 00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:04,560 Speaker 4: old now, doesn't know who I am. I'm just kidding. 322 00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:06,800 Speaker 4: We're still the best of friends. You know what that 323 00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:11,399 Speaker 4: was God restoring the years, making up for lost time. 324 00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:14,600 Speaker 4: God is going to do that for you. He's going 325 00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:18,320 Speaker 4: to restore opportunities that you missed. He's going to restore 326 00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:21,880 Speaker 4: relationships that are not what they should be. He's going 327 00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:25,320 Speaker 4: to restore the years you lost not making good decisions, 328 00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:28,600 Speaker 4: giving in to compromise. You don't have to live in 329 00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:32,240 Speaker 4: regrets thinking you missed your season. It's too late to 330 00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:35,960 Speaker 4: accomplish your dreams, too late to have good relationships with 331 00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:39,680 Speaker 4: your family. There's too much water under the bridge. God 332 00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:42,600 Speaker 4: knew we would make mistakes. He's not going to just 333 00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:46,600 Speaker 4: redeem you. He's going to redeem the time. He's going 334 00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:49,879 Speaker 4: to give you another chance. Don't believe those lies that 335 00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:53,600 Speaker 4: you're too old who made too many mistakes. You wouldn't 336 00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:57,720 Speaker 4: be hearing this if God wasn't about to restore the years. 337 00:19:57,960 --> 00:20:00,520 Speaker 4: He's about to make up for that heart travist that 338 00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:04,440 Speaker 4: you missed. I have a digital clock on my bathroom 339 00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:08,560 Speaker 4: counter at home. It gets his information from the satellite. 340 00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:11,960 Speaker 4: Unlike older clocks that rely on their own software to 341 00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:15,680 Speaker 4: keep time, these digital clocks come from a master clock 342 00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:19,439 Speaker 4: that's transmitted from a satellite. Now while back, I was 343 00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:21,960 Speaker 4: about to get in the shower one evening, and I 344 00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:25,320 Speaker 4: noticed that it was nine thirty. A few minutes later, 345 00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:28,000 Speaker 4: when I got out of the shower, I looked at 346 00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:31,600 Speaker 4: the clock and it read nine twenty two. I thought 347 00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:34,639 Speaker 4: that strange. I know it was just nine thirty. I 348 00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:37,879 Speaker 4: thought I must be seeing things while I was watching it. 349 00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:41,720 Speaker 4: The clock went back to nine eighteen. In a few seconds, 350 00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:44,560 Speaker 4: it went to nine oh seven. It kept backing up. 351 00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:49,000 Speaker 4: I realized it was getting bad reception. But I'd never 352 00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:53,120 Speaker 4: seen that happen before. What's interesting is that day I'd 353 00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:56,160 Speaker 4: had a very busy schedule. I had a lot to do, 354 00:20:56,520 --> 00:21:00,800 Speaker 4: but I hardly got anything done. I had interruptions, delays, 355 00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:04,000 Speaker 4: things that didn't work out. I was kind of frustrated, 356 00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:07,760 Speaker 4: thinking what an unproductive day. When I saw the clock 357 00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:11,800 Speaker 4: go backwards, it was as if God was saying to me, Joel, 358 00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:15,960 Speaker 4: quit worrying about what you didn't get done. I control time. 359 00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:19,439 Speaker 4: I can back things up. I can make up for 360 00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:25,160 Speaker 4: lost time. You may have missed opportunities, missed relationships. They 361 00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:28,640 Speaker 4: were there, but you were distracted, you weren't focused. They 362 00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:32,480 Speaker 4: passed you by. Don't worry. God can turn back time. 363 00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:36,280 Speaker 4: He's about to bring things across your path that should 364 00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:40,000 Speaker 4: have been yours years ago. You missed it the first time, 365 00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:43,440 Speaker 4: like I did with Alexandra. But God's about to give 366 00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:47,639 Speaker 4: you another chance. He's about to turn back time. I 367 00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:51,560 Speaker 4: was at a book signing years ago I met this lady. 368 00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:55,159 Speaker 4: She and her daughter were estranged. They hadn't spoken to 369 00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:57,959 Speaker 4: each other in years. She had reached out to her 370 00:21:58,040 --> 00:22:02,600 Speaker 4: daughter many times with no success. Now she was discouraged, 371 00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:06,920 Speaker 4: feeling guilty. She heard me talking about how God can 372 00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:09,840 Speaker 4: restore the years that were lost, even when it was 373 00:22:09,880 --> 00:22:12,760 Speaker 4: our fault, How he can turn back time and give 374 00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:16,720 Speaker 4: us another chance. Faith rose in her heart. She said, God, 375 00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:20,400 Speaker 4: do that for me. She kept trying, but the daughter 376 00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:24,119 Speaker 4: wouldn't have anything to do with her. Months later, she 377 00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:27,040 Speaker 4: came to that book signing. Out of the hundreds of 378 00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:30,320 Speaker 4: people there, she noticed that her daughter was in line. 379 00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:34,000 Speaker 4: She hadn't seen her in person in years. She went 380 00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:38,120 Speaker 4: over to her. It was a divine appointment. They embraced 381 00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:42,040 Speaker 4: held on to each other while they wept. Healing was 382 00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:45,560 Speaker 4: taking place. When they came up to the table, they 383 00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:49,320 Speaker 4: were both still weeping. The mother told how she didn't 384 00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:52,320 Speaker 4: know her daughter watched us on television. She had no 385 00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:55,320 Speaker 4: idea she'd be at that book signing, But that was 386 00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:58,480 Speaker 4: a turning point. Today they're the best of friends. They 387 00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:02,960 Speaker 4: do everything together. God knows how to turn back time. 388 00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:06,880 Speaker 4: It's not too late for you to have good relationships. 389 00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:10,080 Speaker 4: It's not too late for you to accomplish your dreams. 390 00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:13,439 Speaker 4: God is about to put you at the right place 391 00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:16,760 Speaker 4: at the right time. He's going to make things happen 392 00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:20,680 Speaker 4: that you couldn't make happen that time you lost being 393 00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:24,040 Speaker 4: at odds with people you love. God's about to restore 394 00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:28,159 Speaker 4: those years, that time you spent fighting the illness, not 395 00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:31,800 Speaker 4: able to go to work, not pursuing dreams. God is 396 00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:34,640 Speaker 4: going to turn back time. He's going to make up 397 00:23:34,840 --> 00:23:37,960 Speaker 4: for what should have been yours. The locusts may have 398 00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:41,399 Speaker 4: eaten your harvest, they may have delayed some things. The 399 00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:44,480 Speaker 4: good news is God is going to pay you back. 400 00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:47,879 Speaker 4: He's going to restore those years of harvest that you 401 00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:51,800 Speaker 4: missed out on. One time, Joshua and the Israelites were 402 00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:55,760 Speaker 4: battling five armies. God told Joshua that he was going 403 00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:59,359 Speaker 4: to win. The problem was they were running out of time. 404 00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:02,800 Speaker 4: It was about to get dark, and the enemy forces 405 00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:06,679 Speaker 4: would escape. They could regroup and come against Joshua again. 406 00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:09,879 Speaker 4: He knew he needed to finish them off. He just 407 00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:14,320 Speaker 4: needed more time. But instead of being discouraged thinking it 408 00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:17,919 Speaker 4: was too late, Joshua was bold. He looked up in 409 00:24:17,960 --> 00:24:22,840 Speaker 4: the sky and said, Sun, stand still, Moon, stay where 410 00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:26,880 Speaker 4: you are now. I can imagine people looking at Joshua thinking, 411 00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:30,199 Speaker 4: are you crazy? You think you can stop time. You 412 00:24:30,240 --> 00:24:33,639 Speaker 4: can pause the solar system so you can finish this battle. 413 00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:37,560 Speaker 4: The scripture says, the sun stopped in the middle of 414 00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:42,560 Speaker 4: the sky. It stood still until the Israelites defeated their enemies. 415 00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:46,000 Speaker 4: It may feel like it's too late for you to 416 00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:49,880 Speaker 4: accomplish dreams, too late to get your degree, too late 417 00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:53,200 Speaker 4: to write that book, too late to overcome that obstacle. 418 00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:56,600 Speaker 4: If you just knew back then what you knew now, 419 00:24:57,000 --> 00:24:59,280 Speaker 4: then you would have stayed in school. You would have 420 00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:02,760 Speaker 4: raised the chi differently, you would have started that business 421 00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:06,520 Speaker 4: if you just had more time. God is going to 422 00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:09,760 Speaker 4: do for you what he did for Joshua. He's going 423 00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:13,320 Speaker 4: to freeze time so you can finish what you started. 424 00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:16,520 Speaker 4: He's going to help you accomplish what you could have 425 00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:20,520 Speaker 4: accomplished in an earlier season in life. He's not going 426 00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:24,360 Speaker 4: to let you missed your destiny you're not running out 427 00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:28,840 Speaker 4: of time. Time is on your side because God is 428 00:25:28,960 --> 00:25:33,439 Speaker 4: on your side. He controls time. He's not limited by clock, 429 00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:38,439 Speaker 4: by calendar, by age, by year. This is your chance 430 00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:41,800 Speaker 4: to step up to a new level, your chance to 431 00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:45,280 Speaker 4: break the addiction to go back to school, to make 432 00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:48,439 Speaker 4: your marriage great. God is going to cause you to 433 00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:52,280 Speaker 4: accomplish more in less time. He's going to make you 434 00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:57,560 Speaker 4: more effective, more productive, more focused, more skilled. There's going 435 00:25:57,600 --> 00:26:00,920 Speaker 4: to be a greater favor on your life. Now. Don't 436 00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:04,000 Speaker 4: sit back and think I waited too long, I'm too old, 437 00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:07,520 Speaker 4: I don't have the experience, the training, the discipline. No, 438 00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:12,000 Speaker 4: this is a window, like with Joshua, where God is 439 00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:14,919 Speaker 4: going to freeze time. He's going to give you the 440 00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:19,720 Speaker 4: opportunity to finish what you started. I met a lady 441 00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:23,160 Speaker 4: after the service. She was one hundred and three years old. 442 00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:26,359 Speaker 4: Her mind was as sharp as can be. She had 443 00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:30,200 Speaker 4: a great sense of humor. She told how she promised 444 00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:33,359 Speaker 4: her mother that she would get her college degree, but 445 00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:36,880 Speaker 4: she got married and spent years raising her children. Then 446 00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:40,080 Speaker 4: she worked in an office at this large company. After 447 00:26:40,119 --> 00:26:43,439 Speaker 4: she retired, she was busy with her grandchildren, but in 448 00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:46,760 Speaker 4: the back of her mind It always bothered her that 449 00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:49,760 Speaker 4: she didn't keep her promise. She kept putting it off. 450 00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:53,720 Speaker 4: In her nineties, she started having some health issues after 451 00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:56,840 Speaker 4: spending a couple of months in the hospital. Didn't look 452 00:26:56,880 --> 00:26:59,840 Speaker 4: like she was going to make it, but somehow she recovered. 453 00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:03,760 Speaker 4: When she was released, she told the doctors that she 454 00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:06,400 Speaker 4: was going to go back and get her college degree. 455 00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:10,200 Speaker 4: She spent three years finishing up her degree and at 456 00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:13,520 Speaker 4: one hundred and three, was the oldest person to ever 457 00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:18,520 Speaker 4: graduate from that university. God knows how to freeze things 458 00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:22,560 Speaker 4: until you accomplish what he put in your heart. It 459 00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:25,960 Speaker 4: may feel like you're running out of time, but God 460 00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:29,320 Speaker 4: wouldn't have planned out your days. He wouldn't have given 461 00:27:29,359 --> 00:27:32,520 Speaker 4: you a destiny and then not given you the time 462 00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:35,840 Speaker 4: to fulfill it. It may seem like it's too late, 463 00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:39,280 Speaker 4: you missed your season. If you would have pursued that 464 00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:42,560 Speaker 4: dream twenty years ago, it would have worked. If you 465 00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:46,200 Speaker 4: would have invested in your marriage, your business, your children 466 00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:50,760 Speaker 4: back then, you could have accomplished it. No, there's still time. 467 00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:53,919 Speaker 4: I wonder what would happen if you would do like 468 00:27:54,040 --> 00:27:59,400 Speaker 4: Joshua and say, son, stand still, God, I need more 469 00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:02,600 Speaker 4: time to spend with my children. I didn't know back 470 00:28:02,640 --> 00:28:05,320 Speaker 4: then what I know now. I need more time to 471 00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:09,920 Speaker 4: finish my education, more time to accomplish my dream. God 472 00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:14,280 Speaker 4: gave Joshua an extra day to finish his assignment. God 473 00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:18,280 Speaker 4: said he would restore years that you've lost. You're not 474 00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:22,439 Speaker 4: running out of time. Time is on your side. I 475 00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:26,879 Speaker 4: believe and declare everything God put in your heart will 476 00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:30,560 Speaker 4: come to pass. What the locusts have eaten, all those 477 00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:33,760 Speaker 4: harvests that belong to you are about to show up. 478 00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:37,360 Speaker 4: God is about to restore the years that were stolen. 479 00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:44,200 Speaker 4: You're going to see favor like you've never seen, healing, freedom, breakthroughs, promotion, 480 00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:49,760 Speaker 4: the fullness of your destiny. In Jesus's name, I'd like 481 00:28:49,840 --> 00:28:52,800 Speaker 4: to give you an opportunity to make Jesus the Lord 482 00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:57,320 Speaker 4: of your life. Would you pray with me? Just say, Lord, Jesus, 483 00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:01,760 Speaker 4: I repent of my sins. Come into my heart. I 484 00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:05,160 Speaker 4: make you my Lord and savior. If you prayed that 485 00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:09,000 Speaker 4: simple prayer, we believe you got born again. We'd love 486 00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:11,760 Speaker 4: to give you some free information on your new walk 487 00:29:11,800 --> 00:29:14,320 Speaker 4: with the Lord.
