But I 47 00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:05,560 Speaker 5: like to start with something funny, and I heard about 48 00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:08,440 Speaker 5: this six year old little boy. He was standing in 49 00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:11,400 Speaker 5: the church lobby. Staring at a plaque on the wall 50 00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:15,600 Speaker 5: was filled with names with small American flags by their side. 51 00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:17,720 Speaker 4: He asked the pastor what it meant. 52 00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:21,639 Speaker 5: The pastor explained how that was a memorial to all 53 00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:24,680 Speaker 5: the young men and women that died in the service. 54 00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:28,440 Speaker 5: The little boy stood there very silently and very concerned. 55 00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:31,079 Speaker 5: He finally looked up and asked, was it the eight 56 00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:32,840 Speaker 5: thirty or eleven o'clock service? 57 00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:36,360 Speaker 4: Say it like you mean it. This is my Bible. 58 00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:37,720 Speaker 4: I am what it says. 59 00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:38,160 Speaker 1: I am. 60 00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:40,960 Speaker 5: I have what it says I have. I can do 61 00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:43,640 Speaker 5: what it says I can do. Today I will be 62 00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:47,600 Speaker 5: taught the word of God. I boldly confess. My mind 63 00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:51,040 Speaker 5: is alert, my heart is receptive. I will never be 64 00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:55,919 Speaker 5: the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you. I want 65 00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:58,720 Speaker 5: to talk to you today about it's still going to happen. 66 00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:03,720 Speaker 5: Have things that we're believing for. We prayed, We've done 67 00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:07,520 Speaker 5: our best, but the medical report hasn't improved. We didn't 68 00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:11,520 Speaker 5: get the promotion, we haven't met the right person. We 69 00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:14,560 Speaker 5: wanted to go back to school, but nobody supported us. 70 00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:18,880 Speaker 5: Tried to start our business, we had opposition, delays. 71 00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:22,440 Speaker 4: People did us wrong. Now we think it wasn't meant 72 00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:23,880 Speaker 4: to be, but we. 73 00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:27,120 Speaker 5: May have given up. The good news is God hasn't 74 00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:31,240 Speaker 5: given up. He doesn't abort dreams. He's called the author 75 00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:35,120 Speaker 5: and the finisher of our faith. The dreams He's whispered 76 00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:38,680 Speaker 5: in your spirit, the promises you're standing on. It may 77 00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:41,200 Speaker 5: be too much for you, but it's not too much 78 00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:45,160 Speaker 5: for him. He's saying, today, it's still going to happen. 79 00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:48,840 Speaker 5: You're still going to get well, You're still going to 80 00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:52,080 Speaker 5: meet the right person, you're still going to have that baby, 81 00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:55,360 Speaker 5: you're still going to pay your house off, you're still 82 00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:58,400 Speaker 5: going to break that addiction. You're still going to see 83 00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:03,559 Speaker 5: your children fulfilled their purpose. See, sometimes you just need faith. 84 00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:06,120 Speaker 4: Spoken over you. Words have power. 85 00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:08,880 Speaker 5: When you've heard for so long that it's not going 86 00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:11,680 Speaker 5: to happen, that negativity can take root. 87 00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:13,280 Speaker 4: You have to let all. 88 00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:17,320 Speaker 5: That go and by faith, receive this phrase into your spirit. 89 00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:19,000 Speaker 4: Is still going to happen. 90 00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:22,520 Speaker 5: Now, every voice may tell you the opposite. There's no 91 00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:26,800 Speaker 5: way what happened by now. You don't have the resources. 92 00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:29,840 Speaker 5: You tried before and it didn't work out. Let that 93 00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:31,640 Speaker 5: go in one ear and out the other. 94 00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:35,240 Speaker 4: Don't get in agreement. With the doubt, get in agreement 95 00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:35,839 Speaker 4: with God. 96 00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:38,599 Speaker 5: You don't have to see how it's going to happen. 97 00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:42,600 Speaker 5: All you have to do is believe. Start declaring favor 98 00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:45,520 Speaker 5: over your life. Start talking like it's going to happen. 99 00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:50,000 Speaker 5: Start thanking God that he's working. When those negative thoughts 100 00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:53,640 Speaker 5: come telling you it's too late, just answer back, no thanks, 101 00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:57,360 Speaker 5: it's still going to happen. Well, the medical report doesn't 102 00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:00,839 Speaker 5: look good. That's one report, But I have another report. 103 00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:04,279 Speaker 5: It says I'm still going to get well. Well, you've 104 00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:06,839 Speaker 5: had a lot of bad breaks. Looks like that set 105 00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:10,320 Speaker 5: you back. No thanks, I'm still going to accomplish my dreams. 106 00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:14,160 Speaker 5: Your children are off course, seems like the more you pray, 107 00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:15,240 Speaker 5: the worse they get. 108 00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:16,320 Speaker 4: No thanks. 109 00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:18,640 Speaker 5: As for me and my house, We're still going to 110 00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:21,960 Speaker 5: serve the Lord. Yeah, but what you're believing for is 111 00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:25,880 Speaker 5: way over your head. You don't have the resources, the connections, 112 00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:29,360 Speaker 5: the experience. No way that dream could come to pass. No, 113 00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:32,360 Speaker 5: you're looking at it in the natural. But the God I. 114 00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:36,160 Speaker 4: Serve is supernatural. He's saying it's still going to happen. 115 00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:40,680 Speaker 5: In the face of doubt, negative voices, people telling you 116 00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:42,000 Speaker 5: it's not going to work out. 117 00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:46,480 Speaker 4: It's very powerful to answer back with this declaration of faith. 118 00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:48,120 Speaker 4: It's still going to happen. 119 00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:52,400 Speaker 5: You're saying, God, my hope is in you. I know 120 00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:56,039 Speaker 5: you're the all powerful creator of the universe. What you 121 00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:59,920 Speaker 5: promise will come to pass. No person can stop him. 122 00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:05,039 Speaker 5: No sickness, no addiction, no delay, All the forces of 123 00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:08,799 Speaker 5: darkness cannot stop what God has purposed for your life. 124 00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:12,640 Speaker 4: The only one that can stop him is you. 125 00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:17,920 Speaker 5: If you get discourage negative, lose your passion. It says 126 00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:22,680 Speaker 5: in Psalms, they limited the Holy One of Israel. God 127 00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:25,200 Speaker 5: told them they were going to go into the Promised Land. 128 00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:29,760 Speaker 5: Along the way, they had delays, setbacks, opposition. 129 00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:32,039 Speaker 4: That was all a part of God's plan. 130 00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:36,200 Speaker 5: But what we do in the difficult times will determine 131 00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:40,039 Speaker 5: whether we see the fullness of our destiny. They got 132 00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:43,000 Speaker 5: discouraged and started complaining, what are we going to eat 133 00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:43,839 Speaker 5: out in the desert? 134 00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:45,600 Speaker 4: How are we going to survive? 135 00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:49,320 Speaker 5: Those people in the Promised Land are too big, They 136 00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:50,359 Speaker 5: look like giants. 137 00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:51,440 Speaker 4: We don't have a chance. 138 00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:55,640 Speaker 5: The whole time, God was whispering, It's still going to happen. 139 00:06:56,360 --> 00:07:00,040 Speaker 4: I'm in control. I'm going to defeat those enemies. For you. 140 00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:02,400 Speaker 4: I have provision for every season. 141 00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:06,719 Speaker 5: But they let the doubt what they saw talk them 142 00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:08,279 Speaker 5: out of what God promised. 143 00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:10,040 Speaker 4: Don't be like them. 144 00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:13,920 Speaker 5: God puts things in our spirit on purpose that are 145 00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:18,000 Speaker 5: too big for us. He allows us in situations where 146 00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:19,559 Speaker 5: we can't get out on our own. 147 00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:20,920 Speaker 4: It's a test. 148 00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:24,120 Speaker 5: Are we going to do like them and get discouraged 149 00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:25,400 Speaker 5: miss our purpose? 150 00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:29,280 Speaker 4: Or are we going to let what God says override the. 151 00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:33,360 Speaker 5: Doubt and believe that it's still going to happen despite 152 00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:36,760 Speaker 5: the giants. I'm still going to go into my promised land, 153 00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:40,520 Speaker 5: despite this medical report. I'm still going to get well, 154 00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:44,600 Speaker 5: despite the opposition. I'm still going to accomplish my dreams. 155 00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:49,800 Speaker 5: Let me declare it over you. Despite the delays, the setbacks, 156 00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:54,080 Speaker 5: how you were raised, You're still going to live a blessed, fulfilled, 157 00:07:54,320 --> 00:08:00,920 Speaker 5: victorious life. Despite the breakup, despite who walked away, the hurts, 158 00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:05,720 Speaker 5: the loneliness. That's not how your story ends. That's one chapter. 159 00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:08,720 Speaker 5: But you have a whole book. You're still going to 160 00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:12,600 Speaker 5: meet someone great. You're still going to laugh again, love again, 161 00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:16,320 Speaker 5: dream again. God says your latter days will be better 162 00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:19,960 Speaker 5: than your former days. Now, when the thoughts whisper, Now, No, 163 00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:23,440 Speaker 5: it's too late. You've been through too much. It's never 164 00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:27,720 Speaker 5: going to work out. Recognize what's happening. That's the enemy 165 00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:30,960 Speaker 5: trying to keep you from the awesome future God has 166 00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:34,400 Speaker 5: in store. Tune that out and get an agreement with 167 00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:38,760 Speaker 5: your creator. He's saying, it's still going to happen. It's 168 00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:42,680 Speaker 5: not too late. The giants aren't too big, the opposition 169 00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:46,640 Speaker 5: is not too strong. He's in control. You wouldn't be 170 00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:50,520 Speaker 5: hearing this if there wasn't something amazing about to happen. 171 00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:54,560 Speaker 5: New doors are about to open. The right people are 172 00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:57,800 Speaker 5: about to show up. Your health is going to suddenly 173 00:08:57,840 --> 00:09:02,680 Speaker 5: turn around, a shift in your finances, your career where 174 00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:05,600 Speaker 5: you're suddenly catapulted where you never dreamed. 175 00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:08,400 Speaker 4: What God has in mind is. 176 00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:12,680 Speaker 5: Much bigger, better, more rewarding than what you had in mind. 177 00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:16,320 Speaker 5: There was a man in the scripture named zerube Bel. 178 00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:19,400 Speaker 5: God put the dream in his heart to rebuild the 179 00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:22,920 Speaker 5: temple in Jerusalem. The king gave him permission to start 180 00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:25,960 Speaker 5: the project, and he took fifty thousand men and they 181 00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:27,000 Speaker 5: laid the foundation. 182 00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:28,520 Speaker 4: Took two years. 183 00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:34,439 Speaker 5: They were so excited they had a big celebration, singing, dancing, trumpets, 184 00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:36,520 Speaker 5: blowing symbols, clashing. 185 00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:40,040 Speaker 4: The scripture says the people let out a great shout 186 00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:41,360 Speaker 4: praising God. 187 00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:46,400 Speaker 5: Because the foundation had been laid, Zerube Bell knew God's 188 00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:50,040 Speaker 5: favor was on his life. Everything was falling into place, 189 00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:54,880 Speaker 5: the supplies, the people, the foundation looked beautiful, and they 190 00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:56,800 Speaker 5: were about to start the next phase. 191 00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:58,480 Speaker 4: When opposition arose. 192 00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:02,320 Speaker 5: The enemies of Judah heard about the progress and they 193 00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:03,080 Speaker 5: didn't like it. 194 00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:04,960 Speaker 4: They didn't want the temple. 195 00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:09,360 Speaker 5: Rebuilt, so they started stirring up trouble. It's amazing how 196 00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:11,800 Speaker 5: when you start to make some progress. 197 00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:13,520 Speaker 4: You see favor promotion. 198 00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:18,960 Speaker 5: How that stirs people up, jealousy, gossip, slander. They had 199 00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:22,239 Speaker 5: no problem with Saruba Bel as long as he was average. 200 00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:26,520 Speaker 5: Stay in your corner, don't make any waves. But God 201 00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:30,160 Speaker 5: has put greatness in you. He's called you to stand out, 202 00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:33,440 Speaker 5: to be a difference maker, to take your family to 203 00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:37,200 Speaker 5: a new level. Don't be surprised when you take steps 204 00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:40,400 Speaker 5: of faith. You get out of your comfort zone, you 205 00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:44,680 Speaker 5: start the business, go back to school, you break the addiction, 206 00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:47,680 Speaker 5: you get your family back in church. If you don't 207 00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:51,520 Speaker 5: see people find fault, criticize why are they doing that? 208 00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:55,080 Speaker 5: They want you to stay average. They want you to 209 00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:59,120 Speaker 5: be mediocre, but that's not your destiny. God is going 210 00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:01,480 Speaker 5: to take you place, says where no one in your 211 00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:04,560 Speaker 5: family has gone. He's going to cause you to set 212 00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:08,480 Speaker 5: a new standard. Now, one requirement is you have to 213 00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:12,600 Speaker 5: be thick skinned. You can't get drawn into petty things 214 00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:16,080 Speaker 5: that will pull you away from your destiny. The trick 215 00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:19,680 Speaker 5: of the enemy is to get you distracted, focused on 216 00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:22,959 Speaker 5: what they're saying, trying to prove to them that you're okay, 217 00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:27,760 Speaker 5: worried about what they think. Don't waste your time trying 218 00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:31,480 Speaker 5: to win people over that are determined to misunderstand you. 219 00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:35,600 Speaker 5: They're not coming against you, They're coming against the greatness 220 00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:39,160 Speaker 5: God put in you. They're coming against the favor, the anointing, 221 00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:42,199 Speaker 5: the calling on your life. You have to be an 222 00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:45,800 Speaker 5: eagle and rise above it. Everyone's not going to be 223 00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:49,760 Speaker 5: happy when you succeed. That's okay. Stay focused on what 224 00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:52,480 Speaker 5: God has called you to do. Don't come down to 225 00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:55,760 Speaker 5: their level and get involved in battles that don't matter. 226 00:11:56,760 --> 00:12:00,080 Speaker 5: These people continue to stir up trouble and lie about 227 00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:00,840 Speaker 5: Zeruba Bell. 228 00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:03,199 Speaker 4: They sent a letter to the king. 229 00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:06,840 Speaker 5: Saying that Zeruba Bell and the people of Judah were troublemakers, 230 00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:09,480 Speaker 5: that they weren't going to pay their taxes, that they 231 00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:11,920 Speaker 5: were trying to take over the city, none of which 232 00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:16,000 Speaker 5: was true. They were so convincing that the king issued 233 00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:18,239 Speaker 5: an order stopping all construction. 234 00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:20,240 Speaker 4: No work could be done. 235 00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:24,480 Speaker 5: Week after week went by, month after month, even year 236 00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:29,240 Speaker 5: after year, the foundation just sitting there, empty, weeds growing up, 237 00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:34,040 Speaker 5: the property run down. Can imagine Zeruba Bell stopping by 238 00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:37,680 Speaker 5: at night and walking around seeing the lumbers starting to 239 00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:39,760 Speaker 5: rot and the supplies. 240 00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:40,840 Speaker 4: Going to waste. 241 00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:43,960 Speaker 5: How God, I know you told me to rebuild. I 242 00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:46,800 Speaker 5: know what was doing the right thing, but all this opposition, 243 00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:48,680 Speaker 5: these people lied about me. 244 00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:52,600 Speaker 4: The authorities have been poisoned. God, it's not fair. He 245 00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:56,560 Speaker 4: was discouraged. Thoughts told him you wasted your time. It's 246 00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:58,400 Speaker 4: never going to work out. Just go back home. 247 00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:02,720 Speaker 5: But God doesn't make a promise and then change his mind. 248 00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:04,560 Speaker 4: He doesn't speak. 249 00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:07,760 Speaker 5: Something to you and then let the circumstances talk him 250 00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:08,240 Speaker 5: out of it. 251 00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:11,640 Speaker 4: The scripture says everything serves his plan. 252 00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:15,680 Speaker 5: We're not going to understand everything that happens, but the 253 00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:18,880 Speaker 5: right attitude is God. This doesn't make sense to me, 254 00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:23,400 Speaker 5: but I trust you. I know it's serving your plan. See, 255 00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:27,920 Speaker 5: nothing happens without God's permission. Just because he put that 256 00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:31,719 Speaker 5: dream in your heart doesn't mean there won't be delays, critics, 257 00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:35,880 Speaker 5: bad breaks, even times when it seems like the enemy 258 00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:39,280 Speaker 5: got the best of you. These people lied and shut 259 00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:42,240 Speaker 5: down the project, Joel, This person walked away. 260 00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:45,920 Speaker 4: The loan didn't go through, My health didn't improve. 261 00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:49,079 Speaker 5: Right when I started to get ahead, the pandemic hit 262 00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:52,720 Speaker 5: set me back. You're right whereas Eruba bel was, he 263 00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:56,480 Speaker 5: had seen God's favor. Things had fallen into place, and 264 00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:57,760 Speaker 5: then the bottom fell out. 265 00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:01,520 Speaker 4: That's when these lines will come. It'll never happen now. 266 00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:05,480 Speaker 5: He'll never get well, never see your business succeed, never. 267 00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:09,000 Speaker 4: Meet the right person. No, God has not changed his mind. 268 00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:13,240 Speaker 5: Despite the delays, the opposition, what wasn't fair. 269 00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:16,080 Speaker 4: He's saying, it's still going to happen. 270 00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:19,720 Speaker 5: You're still going to accomplish the dream. You're still going 271 00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:22,600 Speaker 5: to get well, You're still going to have that baby. 272 00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:23,480 Speaker 4: God said in. 273 00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:28,160 Speaker 5: Philippians, I will bring you to a flourishing finish, not 274 00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:32,760 Speaker 5: a defeated finish, a bankrupt finished, a lonely finish, a 275 00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:33,720 Speaker 5: betrayed finish. 276 00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:36,640 Speaker 4: God has a victorious finish for. 277 00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:43,280 Speaker 5: You, an abundant finish, a flourishing finish that means you're blossoming, blooming, 278 00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:49,680 Speaker 5: seeing dreams come to pass, going further than you've imagined, healthy, whole, fulfilled, 279 00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:51,160 Speaker 5: being a bigger. 280 00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:54,920 Speaker 4: Blessing than you've ever dreamed. I've heard it said. 281 00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:58,800 Speaker 5: God always ends on all is well. If all is 282 00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:00,040 Speaker 5: not well, then is. 283 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:00,720 Speaker 4: It's not the end. 284 00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:04,680 Speaker 5: If it's not good, then God is not done. It's 285 00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:07,160 Speaker 5: just another step on the way to your destiny. 286 00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:10,600 Speaker 4: Now the mistake we make is we quit believing. 287 00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:15,440 Speaker 5: Along the way we laid the foundation, we saw God's favor, 288 00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:20,800 Speaker 5: had a big celebration. Then we had setbacks, the lays, disappointments. 289 00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:25,000 Speaker 5: Now every circumstance says it's not going to happen. Well, 290 00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:28,840 Speaker 5: sixteen years later, the foundation was still just sitting there. 291 00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:34,479 Speaker 4: Nothing had changed. When two prophets showed up, Zachariah and Hagia. 292 00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:38,560 Speaker 4: They said, zerube bel it's time to start rebuilding the temple. 293 00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:41,480 Speaker 4: He could have thought, what do you mean? Do you 294 00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:44,720 Speaker 4: realize it's been sixteen years? Do you know what we've 295 00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:47,960 Speaker 4: been through? What hasn't worked out? Who's against us? 296 00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:52,560 Speaker 5: I thought this project was done Zachariah said, no, Zeruba bel, 297 00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:54,560 Speaker 5: God sent us to tell. 298 00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:56,400 Speaker 4: You it's still going to happen. 299 00:15:57,320 --> 00:16:01,600 Speaker 5: I love how Zarubabau responded, because he could have made excuses. 300 00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:05,160 Speaker 4: We tried and it didn't work out. The opposition is 301 00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:08,320 Speaker 4: still there. I'm too old man, I missed my chance. 302 00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:12,400 Speaker 5: You know, the scripture says Zerube bell rose up and 303 00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:14,760 Speaker 5: begin the task of rebuilding the temple. 304 00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:18,120 Speaker 4: Every thought trying to talk him out of it, keep 305 00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:18,880 Speaker 4: him defeated. 306 00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:21,960 Speaker 5: But when he heard God say it's still going to happen, 307 00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:26,160 Speaker 5: he rose up. That means he got in agreement with God. 308 00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:30,640 Speaker 5: He started thinking differently. Yes, this is my time. He 309 00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:35,440 Speaker 5: started talking differently. I'm equipped, empowered, anointed, The favor of 310 00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:38,560 Speaker 5: God is on my life. He took steps of faith, 311 00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:43,080 Speaker 5: got his men back together, got his passion back, his fireback, 312 00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:47,160 Speaker 5: and they started rebuilding. Well, the same jerks, I mean, 313 00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:48,520 Speaker 5: the same critics went. 314 00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:49,080 Speaker 4: Back to the king. 315 00:16:49,880 --> 00:16:52,360 Speaker 5: They went back to the king, said this man we 316 00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:55,520 Speaker 5: told you about, he's trying to rebuild the temple again. 317 00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:58,960 Speaker 5: You have to stop him. This time it was a 318 00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:03,560 Speaker 5: new king. There had been a change in leadership. Sometimes 319 00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:05,800 Speaker 5: God has to move someone out. 320 00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:07,360 Speaker 4: For your dream to come to pass. 321 00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:10,679 Speaker 5: He has to weed out the wrong people so he 322 00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:11,960 Speaker 5: can put people in. 323 00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:16,760 Speaker 4: That will serve his plan. Trust his timy, trust his ways. 324 00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:20,640 Speaker 5: Just because you laid the foundation and things didn't work 325 00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:24,720 Speaker 5: out doesn't mean God is through what he started. He's 326 00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:28,960 Speaker 5: going to finish this new king told the critics he 327 00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:32,040 Speaker 5: was going to have the official record searched to see 328 00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:35,400 Speaker 5: what was said about this temple. They found a decree 329 00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:39,520 Speaker 5: where the temple was supposed to be rebuilt and paid 330 00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:43,119 Speaker 5: for out of the city treasury. When the king found 331 00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:46,280 Speaker 5: out it was for the Israelites God, he was afraid. 332 00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:49,960 Speaker 5: He had heard about the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. 333 00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:54,240 Speaker 5: He told his people to not only leave Zerubabel alone 334 00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:57,600 Speaker 5: to let him rebuild the temple, but he said, you 335 00:17:57,680 --> 00:18:01,080 Speaker 5: are to pay for the full construction car and you 336 00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:06,119 Speaker 5: are to provide them food and provisions each day weat grain, salt, 337 00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:11,200 Speaker 5: olive oil. God not only helped them finish rebuilding the temple, 338 00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:14,640 Speaker 5: but he made the enemy pay for it. There are 339 00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:17,879 Speaker 5: dreams God has put in your heart. May seem like 340 00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:21,520 Speaker 5: it's too late, too big. You don't have the resources. 341 00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:25,000 Speaker 5: God wouldn't have given you the dream, wouldn't have put 342 00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:27,920 Speaker 5: the promise in your heart if he didn't know how 343 00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:31,640 Speaker 5: to bring it to pass. Like with Zaruba bel It's 344 00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:34,439 Speaker 5: not only going to still happen, but there's going to 345 00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:42,040 Speaker 5: be supernatural provision, supernatural healing, supernatural flavor, uncommon, unusual things. 346 00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:45,400 Speaker 4: You can't explain it. People helping you that don't even 347 00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:45,920 Speaker 4: like you. 348 00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:49,720 Speaker 5: God purpose for them to push you into your destiny. 349 00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:52,360 Speaker 4: Now you have a part in this. 350 00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:55,560 Speaker 5: You can't sit back thinking, oh not me, Joel, I'll 351 00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:58,840 Speaker 5: never get well. This child will never get back on course. 352 00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:02,960 Speaker 5: It's been so long, the odds are against me. Just 353 00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:07,879 Speaker 5: like God sent Zachariah after sixteen years of silence to 354 00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:11,320 Speaker 5: prophesy that they were going to rebuild the temple, God 355 00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:14,399 Speaker 5: sent me to tell you it's still going to happen. 356 00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:18,040 Speaker 5: Now you may be in a silence season as well. 357 00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:23,120 Speaker 5: You don't see anything improving, no good breaks, no open doors, 358 00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:24,320 Speaker 5: your health. 359 00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:26,080 Speaker 4: Family, finance, it's just the same. 360 00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:29,840 Speaker 5: You're about to see a shift. God is doing a 361 00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:33,240 Speaker 5: new thing. The silence was all a part of his plan. 362 00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:39,320 Speaker 5: The delays, closed doors, people that walked away were necessary. 363 00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:41,399 Speaker 4: It was setting you up for this moment. 364 00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:45,080 Speaker 5: The delay doesn't mean that God said no, it just 365 00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:48,720 Speaker 5: wasn't the right time. He's saying, you're still going to 366 00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:51,800 Speaker 5: accompass that dream. You're still going to get out of debt, 367 00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:54,600 Speaker 5: You're still going to see your family restored. 368 00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:57,440 Speaker 4: Now your part is to rise. 369 00:19:57,240 --> 00:20:01,240 Speaker 5: Up, get your passion back, get your fire back, start 370 00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:06,320 Speaker 5: believing again what you let go of. Revisit didn't work 371 00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:07,240 Speaker 5: out the first time. 372 00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:10,159 Speaker 4: This is a new day. Things have shifted. 373 00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:13,639 Speaker 5: God's about to show you why it hasn't worked out yet. 374 00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:15,480 Speaker 4: He's gonna make the enemy pay. 375 00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:20,320 Speaker 5: There's going to be opportunity, resources, favor that you've never seen. 376 00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:22,800 Speaker 4: You're gonna know it was a hand of God. 377 00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:26,800 Speaker 5: I talked to a lady that had been healthy her 378 00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:31,879 Speaker 5: whole life, very strong, energetic, vibrant. She noticed she wasn't 379 00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:35,720 Speaker 5: feeling well. She had some digestive issues. She went to 380 00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:39,520 Speaker 5: get checked out, and after many tests, she was diagnosed 381 00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:41,040 Speaker 5: with pancreatic cancer. 382 00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:44,240 Speaker 4: Didn't look good at all. The doctors told. 383 00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:47,119 Speaker 5: Her that the demise would happen quickly, that while she 384 00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:50,400 Speaker 5: was able, she needed to get everything in order, make 385 00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:53,840 Speaker 5: out her will, visit with family members. They gave her 386 00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:57,440 Speaker 5: less than a year to live. Of course, she was devastated. 387 00:20:57,920 --> 00:21:03,760 Speaker 5: She never saw this coming. Sometimes we face these unexpected challenges. 388 00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:07,000 Speaker 5: That's when the enemy works overtime in our mind. 389 00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:08,439 Speaker 4: This is the end. 390 00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:12,000 Speaker 5: Man too bad, you'll never get well, never see your 391 00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:12,920 Speaker 5: children graduate. 392 00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:13,840 Speaker 4: Just accept it. 393 00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:18,159 Speaker 5: When we start dwelling on the negative, we're giving it life. 394 00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:22,199 Speaker 5: We draw in what we're constantly thinking about. You have 395 00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:25,880 Speaker 5: to guard your mind, fill it with what God promised you. 396 00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:29,080 Speaker 5: In the first several weeks, she was so upset and 397 00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:33,080 Speaker 5: so overwhelmed. She couldn't sleep at night and could hardly function. 398 00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:37,480 Speaker 5: She flipped on our serious XM radio channel. She heard 399 00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:41,000 Speaker 5: me talking about how God has the final saying, how 400 00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:44,040 Speaker 5: he can do what medicine cannot do. How when we 401 00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:46,800 Speaker 5: put our trust in him, he can make ways where 402 00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:50,680 Speaker 5: we don't see away. Instead of dwelling on all the negative, 403 00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:54,760 Speaker 5: playing the medical report over and over, she started playing 404 00:21:54,800 --> 00:21:58,359 Speaker 5: another report what God said about her. I will live 405 00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:01,560 Speaker 5: and not die. God is restoring health back into me 406 00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:06,120 Speaker 5: despite this diagnosis. I'm still going to get well. Six 407 00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:09,439 Speaker 5: weeks later, she went in for surgery. They thought they 408 00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:11,840 Speaker 5: could do this procedure and prolong her life. A little 409 00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:16,160 Speaker 5: bit afterwards, the surgeon came out with a very puzzled. Look, 410 00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:19,160 Speaker 5: he said, I have all the X rays right here 411 00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:21,960 Speaker 5: that show all the cancer, but when we went in, 412 00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:23,920 Speaker 5: we couldn't find any cancer. 413 00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:28,520 Speaker 4: You are perfectly healthy. They had no explanation. 414 00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:31,800 Speaker 5: These were some of the leading experts, one of the 415 00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:34,000 Speaker 5: most renowned hospitals. 416 00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:36,399 Speaker 4: In the world. That was God doing what only he 417 00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:36,840 Speaker 4: can do. 418 00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:40,480 Speaker 5: And I realized, it doesn't happen that way for everyone. 419 00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:42,800 Speaker 5: But how do you know you're not going to be 420 00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:44,760 Speaker 5: the one of the ones that it does happen for. 421 00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:47,720 Speaker 4: Why not be a believer and not a doubter. 422 00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:52,000 Speaker 5: God is saying, despite the diagnosis, you're still going to 423 00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:55,920 Speaker 5: get well, despite the setbacks, You're still going to accomplish 424 00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:58,240 Speaker 5: your dream, despite the delays. 425 00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:01,520 Speaker 4: You're still going to meet the right person. Despite what 426 00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:04,520 Speaker 4: experts have told you. You're still going to have that baby. 427 00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:08,720 Speaker 5: Don't talk yourself out of it, talk yourself into it. 428 00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:11,280 Speaker 5: It's easy to think nothing goods in my future. I've 429 00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:13,800 Speaker 5: reached my limits. That's going to keep you where you are. 430 00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:18,200 Speaker 4: What God promised you is still going to happen. Now. 431 00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:22,040 Speaker 5: Your part is to rise up, believe it, and watch 432 00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:26,080 Speaker 5: what God will do. I think about Jacob in the scripture, 433 00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:30,000 Speaker 5: his youngest son. Joseph had a big dream. He was 434 00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:33,600 Speaker 5: going to do great things as a father. Jacob was 435 00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:36,159 Speaker 5: so proud of Joseph. When he looked at him, he 436 00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:39,399 Speaker 5: beamed with joy. He even gave him his coat of 437 00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:43,720 Speaker 5: many colors, which represented the favor on his life. One day, 438 00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:46,760 Speaker 5: he sent Joseph to check on his brothers who were 439 00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:50,600 Speaker 5: in another city. They were jealous and ended up selling 440 00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:53,840 Speaker 5: him as a slave. They killed an animal, put blood 441 00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:57,359 Speaker 5: on Joseph's coat, and came home showed their father Dad, 442 00:23:57,359 --> 00:23:58,240 Speaker 5: look what happened. 443 00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:02,159 Speaker 4: Joseph must have been killed by our wild animal. Jacob 444 00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:04,879 Speaker 4: was so heartbroken he tore his clothes. 445 00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:09,800 Speaker 5: He put on sycloth For weeks, he mourned month after month. 446 00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:13,040 Speaker 5: His family tried to comfort him, but it was no use. 447 00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:16,160 Speaker 5: He said, I will die in mourning for my son. 448 00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:17,360 Speaker 4: Well. 449 00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:20,240 Speaker 5: Thirteen years later, there was a great famine in the land. 450 00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:24,119 Speaker 5: Jacob sent those other brothers to Egypt looking for food. 451 00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:27,520 Speaker 5: Little did they know Joseph was in charge of the 452 00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:28,159 Speaker 5: food supply. 453 00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:31,840 Speaker 4: They came back home and told their father. 454 00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:36,320 Speaker 5: This amazing news that Joseph was still alive. Jacob couldn't 455 00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:40,800 Speaker 5: believe it. He was in awe so overjoyed. Eventually, he 456 00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:44,400 Speaker 5: and his whole family moved to Egypt to live with Joseph. 457 00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:48,320 Speaker 5: When Jacob was one hundred and forty years old, he 458 00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:51,880 Speaker 5: was about to pass he called Joseph and his grandson's 459 00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:56,560 Speaker 5: inn to give them the blessing. Imagine how Jacob must 460 00:24:56,560 --> 00:24:59,720 Speaker 5: have felt. He never thought he would see his son again. 461 00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:01,960 Speaker 4: Now he not only. 462 00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:05,920 Speaker 5: Has Joseph, but his grandsons are standing in front of him. 463 00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:07,199 Speaker 4: If you would have. 464 00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:10,840 Speaker 5: Told Jacob this was all going to happen thirteen years earlier, 465 00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:14,800 Speaker 5: when he was heartbroken in mourning, he would have said, 466 00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:18,280 Speaker 5: there's no way. That's impossible. My son is gone. 467 00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:19,240 Speaker 4: How could I. 468 00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:22,840 Speaker 5: Ever see his grandchildren? But look at how awesome our 469 00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:26,600 Speaker 5: God is. He's working in ways that we could never imagine. 470 00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:32,080 Speaker 5: We all have dreams that we've given up on, golds promises. 471 00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:33,400 Speaker 4: I think there's no way. 472 00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:37,960 Speaker 5: Been through too much, Joel, that door is closed. I've 473 00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:41,119 Speaker 5: made mistakes, I've missed too many opportunities. 474 00:25:41,560 --> 00:25:43,479 Speaker 4: No, God is about to surprise you. 475 00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:47,080 Speaker 5: He's going to do something out of the ordinary, something 476 00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:48,640 Speaker 5: that you didn't see coming. 477 00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:49,960 Speaker 4: That will boggle your mind. 478 00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:53,520 Speaker 5: You quit believing for it, You accepted that it's never 479 00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:56,800 Speaker 5: going to work out, But like with Jacob, you're going 480 00:25:56,880 --> 00:26:00,399 Speaker 5: to stand in awe, not believe in your eyes thinking 481 00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:02,760 Speaker 5: I could have never fad them, this would happen. 482 00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:05,040 Speaker 4: That's how amazing our God is. 483 00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:08,040 Speaker 5: Now. You may be in the middle of a setback, 484 00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:11,280 Speaker 5: in the middle of a silent season, in the middle 485 00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:13,720 Speaker 5: of the morning, that is not the end. 486 00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:17,680 Speaker 4: God has a flourishing finish for you. He hasn't brought you. 487 00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:20,960 Speaker 5: This far to leave you. Your greatest victories are not 488 00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:24,600 Speaker 5: behind you. They're still in front of you. Stay in faith, 489 00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:27,800 Speaker 5: It's still going to happen. It was a young woman 490 00:26:28,119 --> 00:26:30,640 Speaker 5: raised by a single mother and growing up she began 491 00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:34,000 Speaker 5: to wonder about her father and who he was and. 492 00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:35,040 Speaker 4: Why he wasn't in her life and. 493 00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:38,080 Speaker 5: Her mother had conceived her with this man that she 494 00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:41,560 Speaker 5: didn't really know, just a one night fleeing. This mother 495 00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:45,160 Speaker 5: was kind of embarrassed and didn't want to elaborate, especially 496 00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:48,960 Speaker 5: to her young daughter. As this child got older, the 497 00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:51,520 Speaker 5: mother tried several times to reach out to the father, 498 00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:55,560 Speaker 5: but he wasn't around, wouldn't return phone calls, didn't want 499 00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:58,679 Speaker 5: to have anything to do with this child. After she 500 00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:03,360 Speaker 5: graduated from college, started her own family she still had 501 00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:06,479 Speaker 5: this longing deep down to know her father. She had 502 00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:09,840 Speaker 5: two beautiful children, thought about all the moments that they 503 00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:14,040 Speaker 5: could be sharing together. She shirts the internet, tried several 504 00:27:14,040 --> 00:27:17,280 Speaker 5: other ways, but still nothing.
