Speaker 1: you encouraged and inspired. But thanks for tuning in and

16
00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:45,120
Speaker 1: thanks again for coming out today. I'd like to start

17
00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:47,880
Speaker 1: with something funny and I heard about these three men

18
00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:51,240
Speaker 1: that we're traveling together. It was a Hindu priest, a

19
00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:55,720
Speaker 1: Jewish rabbi, and a televangelist. They stopped at a farmhouse

20
00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:58,840
Speaker 1: for lodging. The farmer said, I only have room for

21
00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:01,040
Speaker 1: two of you in the house. Somebody will have to

22
00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:03,680
Speaker 1: stay in the barn. The Hindu priest said, I'll do it.

23
00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:06,480
Speaker 1: A few minutes there was a knock on the door, said,

24
00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:09,319
Speaker 1: I can't stay out there. There's a cow, and cows

25
00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:12,479
Speaker 1: are sacred in our religion. The Jewish rabbi said, I'll

26
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:14,480
Speaker 1: do it. A few minutes later, a knock on the

27
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:17,240
Speaker 1: door said, I can't stay out there. There's a pig.

28
00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:21,000
Speaker 1: That wouldn't be kocher. The televangelist finally said, all right,

29
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:22,800
Speaker 1: I'll do it. In a few minutes, there was a

30
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:25,400
Speaker 1: knock on the door. It was the cow and the pig.

31
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:29,360
Speaker 1: I'm the only one that got it. Here we go, ready,

32
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:32,840
Speaker 1: this is my Bible. I am what it says I am.

33
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:35,440
Speaker 1: I have what it says I have. I can do

34
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:37,959
Speaker 1: what it says I can do. Today I will be

35
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:41,880
Speaker 1: taught the word of God. I boldly confess. My mind

36
00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:45,280
Speaker 1: is alert, my heart is recepted. I will never be

37
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:50,080
Speaker 1: the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you. I want

38
00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:54,080
Speaker 1: to talk to you today about trouble is temporary. We

39
00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:57,640
Speaker 1: all face difficulties that don't look like they'll ever change.

40
00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:00,600
Speaker 1: Seems like the more we pray, the worse it gets.

41
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:04,080
Speaker 1: We don't see any sign of things improving. It's easy

42
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:07,160
Speaker 1: to live discouraged and accept that it's not meant to be.

43
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:11,960
Speaker 1: But Paul said in Second Corinthians, our present troubles are

44
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:16,640
Speaker 1: small and won't last very long. These troubles will soon

45
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:20,240
Speaker 1: be over, but the joy to come will last forever.

46
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:24,600
Speaker 1: What you're up against may look permanent, seems like it's

47
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:27,280
Speaker 1: going to take years to get well, years to get

48
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:30,480
Speaker 1: out of debt, years to meet the right person. Don't

49
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:33,360
Speaker 1: be fooled by what you see. God is saying the

50
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:37,640
Speaker 1: trouble is only temporary. It's not going to last very long.

51
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:40,840
Speaker 1: Soon it's going to be over. Soon. You're going to

52
00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:45,040
Speaker 1: see the breakthrough. Soon, your health is going to turn around. Soon,

53
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:47,800
Speaker 1: you're going to meet the person of your dreams. You

54
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:50,960
Speaker 1: may not see how this can happen. Everything in your

55
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:54,120
Speaker 1: reasoning says it's not possible. You're looking at it in

56
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:57,959
Speaker 1: the natural. We serve a supernatural God. He can make

57
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:01,200
Speaker 1: things happen that you can't make happen. And instead of

58
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:03,680
Speaker 1: thinking of all the reasons why it's not going to

59
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:06,640
Speaker 1: work out, how it's going to take forever, try a

60
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:10,800
Speaker 1: different approach. Father, Thank you that this difficulty will soon

61
00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:14,360
Speaker 1: be over. Thank you, that this sickness, this depression, this

62
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:19,200
Speaker 1: family problem will not last very long. Joel. It's already

63
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:22,560
Speaker 1: been a long time. That means you are very close

64
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:25,000
Speaker 1: to seeing it turn around. You're on the verge of

65
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:31,000
Speaker 1: a breakthrough. You're about to see freedom, promotion, problems suddenly resolved,

66
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:34,680
Speaker 1: dreams suddenly come to pass. Not in the suite by

67
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:38,440
Speaker 1: and by, but soon things are going to change. Soon.

68
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:41,280
Speaker 1: That child is going to get back on course. Soon,

69
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:44,240
Speaker 1: That new door is going to open. Soon, The right

70
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:47,200
Speaker 1: person is going to show up. Soon, you're going to

71
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:50,720
Speaker 1: come into overflow. Now. You have to get in agreement

72
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 1: with God and have assumed mentality. As long as you

73
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:57,320
Speaker 1: think it's going to take years, that's going to stop

74
00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:00,920
Speaker 1: God from working. When you have this soon mentality, you

75
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:04,760
Speaker 1: get up each morning with expectancy, knowing that this could

76
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:07,120
Speaker 1: be the day that God shows out in your life.

77
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:11,040
Speaker 1: When is your health going to turn around? I don't know, Joel.

78
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:14,040
Speaker 1: This medical report doesn't look very good at all. That's

79
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:17,800
Speaker 1: one report. I'm giving you another report. Soon things are

80
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:20,600
Speaker 1: going to change in your favor. When are you gonna

81
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:23,200
Speaker 1: get out of debt? Looks like it's gonna take me

82
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:25,840
Speaker 1: one hundred and twelve years to pay everything off. You're

83
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:28,640
Speaker 1: gonna be in heaven by then. How about soon I'm

84
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:31,680
Speaker 1: coming out of debt soon, I'm on lend and not borrow.

85
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 1: How can that happen? God owns it all. One touch

86
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:38,800
Speaker 1: of his favor and you'll have more than an hour.

87
00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:43,760
Speaker 1: One good break, one idea, one contract in everything will change.

88
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:47,680
Speaker 1: When are you going to overcome that addiction soon? When

89
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:50,520
Speaker 1: are you going to meet the right person soon? When

90
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:53,800
Speaker 1: is that legal issue going to resolve soon? When are

91
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:56,640
Speaker 1: you going to sell that property soon? When are you

92
00:04:56,720 --> 00:05:00,200
Speaker 1: going to start your business soon? Your mind will tell

93
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:02,920
Speaker 1: you all the reasons it's not going to happen. Your

94
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:06,040
Speaker 1: problem's too big. The people that you're up against are

95
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:09,600
Speaker 1: too powerful. It's been that way too long. Don't believe

96
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:14,080
Speaker 1: those lies. Receive this into your spirit. The problem will

97
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:19,000
Speaker 1: soon be over. The loneliness will soon be gone. The anxiety,

98
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:22,800
Speaker 1: the grief, the barrenness, not able to have a child

99
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 1: is coming to an end soon. These present troubles will

100
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:31,720
Speaker 1: not last very long. Job went through a great difficulty.

101
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:35,240
Speaker 1: He was doing the right thing, honoring God, and the

102
00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:38,920
Speaker 1: bottom fell out. He lost his business, lost his children,

103
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:43,120
Speaker 1: lost his health, head boils all over his body. Just

104
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:47,359
Speaker 1: because we're people of faith doesn't mean we won't have difficulties.

105
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:50,839
Speaker 1: You can be doing the right thing and come into trouble.

106
00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:55,760
Speaker 1: The scripture says, rain falls on the just and the unjust.

107
00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:59,320
Speaker 1: When it rains at my house, my property gets wet,

108
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:04,080
Speaker 1: ext door, neighbors, people across the street, everyone in the neighborhood.

109
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:09,120
Speaker 1: The rain doesn't discriminate. Don't get discouraged by difficulties. It's

110
00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:12,960
Speaker 1: just light. The promise we have is not that trouble

111
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:16,679
Speaker 1: won't come, but the trouble is not going to last. Soon,

112
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:21,520
Speaker 1: the trouble will be over. When you're in difficulties, things happen,

113
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:24,880
Speaker 1: like with job that you don't understand. He came down

114
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:27,919
Speaker 1: with an illness. People at work turned on you. You

115
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:30,760
Speaker 1: had to set back in your business. It's easy to

116
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:33,640
Speaker 1: live worried thinking that it's never going to work out.

117
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:37,960
Speaker 1: You have to remind yourself it is not permanent. It

118
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:41,160
Speaker 1: is not going to last long. Soon it will resolve

119
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:43,760
Speaker 1: all through the day. You need to keep this in

120
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:48,080
Speaker 1: your heart. Father, thank you that this trouble is only temporary,

121
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:50,719
Speaker 1: that it didn't come to stay, it came to pass.

122
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:54,599
Speaker 1: Thinking that it will soon be over. When Job looked

123
00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:58,560
Speaker 1: at all his circumstances, everything that went wrong, all that

124
00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:02,080
Speaker 1: he had lost, he got pressed. He sat down in

125
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:06,039
Speaker 1: the ashes and wanted to die. One reason he was

126
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:10,040
Speaker 1: so discouraged is he saw the trouble as permanent. He

127
00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:13,040
Speaker 1: didn't see any way he could get out as long

128
00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:16,120
Speaker 1: as he had this forever mentality, this is how my

129
00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:19,680
Speaker 1: life is always going to be, He felt overwhelmed. When

130
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:22,720
Speaker 1: you have a setback, thoughts will tell you it's permanent.

131
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:26,280
Speaker 1: You'll never get well, you'll never be happy again, you'll

132
00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:30,560
Speaker 1: never meet someone. If you believe those forever lies, you'll

133
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:34,440
Speaker 1: get discouraged and lose your passion. God won't let you

134
00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:37,720
Speaker 1: get in a situation that he can't bring you out of.

135
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:41,559
Speaker 1: If the trouble was too much, the sickness too great,

136
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:45,920
Speaker 1: the opposition too strong, he wouldn't have allowed it. It's

137
00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:49,640
Speaker 1: a test. What are you going to do? Get discouraged,

138
00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:53,440
Speaker 1: give up on dreams, live defeated, or are you going

139
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:56,080
Speaker 1: to believe that God is on the throne, that he's

140
00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:59,320
Speaker 1: bigger than what you're facing, that the trouble is temporary,

141
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:03,360
Speaker 1: that is not going to last long. What you believe

142
00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:06,760
Speaker 1: in times of trouble will determine whether you come out

143
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:10,040
Speaker 1: or whether you get stuck there. And at one point

144
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:14,640
Speaker 1: Job changed his attitude. Instead of sitting around defeated, he

145
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:17,280
Speaker 1: got up out of the ashes, looked up toward the

146
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:22,080
Speaker 1: heavens and said, I know my Redeemer lives. He was saying,

147
00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:25,080
Speaker 1: I know God is still on the throne. I know

148
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:29,320
Speaker 1: this difficulty can't stop my destiny. What He has purposed

149
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:33,000
Speaker 1: for my life will come to pass. He shifted to

150
00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:36,559
Speaker 1: an attitude of faith. God, let us see both sides

151
00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:41,320
Speaker 1: of Job, him discouraged, despondent, then him switching over to faith,

152
00:08:41,800 --> 00:08:45,480
Speaker 1: to let us know it's okay to feel things. It's

153
00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:48,640
Speaker 1: okay to have times when you feel discouraged you don't

154
00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:52,160
Speaker 1: see how it can work out. It's okay to start there,

155
00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:56,280
Speaker 1: but don't finish there. Don't stay in the ashes, don't

156
00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:59,560
Speaker 1: stay defeated. At some point you have to do like

157
00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:03,640
Speaker 1: Joe and say, I know my Redeemer lives. I know

158
00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:06,360
Speaker 1: God didn't bring me this far to leave me. I

159
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:09,960
Speaker 1: know this problem is not permanent. Lord, thank you that

160
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:13,280
Speaker 1: it will soon be over. Do you know what that

161
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:15,960
Speaker 1: does to the enemy when he hits you with his

162
00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:19,600
Speaker 1: best shot. But you don't start complaining, you don't stay

163
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:22,840
Speaker 1: in the ashes. You start declaring. Soon, it's going to

164
00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:26,280
Speaker 1: turn around soon. I'm gonna get well soon. I'm gonna

165
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:29,400
Speaker 1: meet someone new. Soon, My business is going to take

166
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:33,720
Speaker 1: off soon. I'm gonna laugh again, love again, lead again,

167
00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:38,120
Speaker 1: run again. When you live with this soon mentality, all

168
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:42,679
Speaker 1: the forces of darkness cannot keep you down. Job's situation

169
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:46,360
Speaker 1: look permanent, looked like he had seen his best days.

170
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:49,720
Speaker 1: But God not only turned it around, but Job came

171
00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:52,760
Speaker 1: out with twice what he had before. The scripture says

172
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:55,840
Speaker 1: he had twice the cattle, twice the sheep. He got

173
00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:59,240
Speaker 1: his business back. God never brings you out the same

174
00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:01,920
Speaker 1: he may. It's the enemy pay for bringing the trouble.

175
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:05,000
Speaker 1: And we hear a lot about the suffering of Job.

176
00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:07,840
Speaker 1: All that he went through, seems like that was his

177
00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:11,520
Speaker 1: whole life. The entire book of Job is about his struggle.

178
00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:16,079
Speaker 1: You would think it went on for forty years, trouble, heartache, pain,

179
00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:21,280
Speaker 1: But some commentaries believe the whole struggle was only nine months.

180
00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:25,920
Speaker 1: All the sickness, all the trouble didn't last years. It

181
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:29,840
Speaker 1: was months. What you think is going to take years?

182
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:32,440
Speaker 1: What looks like it's going to be a long time

183
00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:36,280
Speaker 1: to resolve. Like with job, it's going to happen sooner

184
00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:39,880
Speaker 1: than you think. That trouble looks permanent, but God is

185
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:43,760
Speaker 1: saying it's not going to last very long. You're about

186
00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:49,480
Speaker 1: to see his hand bring healing, restoration, divine connections, promotion.

187
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:53,079
Speaker 1: It's not by your mind, not by your power, but

188
00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:57,160
Speaker 1: by the spirit of the Living God. Two thousand and three,

189
00:10:57,640 --> 00:11:00,760
Speaker 1: the Houston City Council voted for us to have the

190
00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:04,839
Speaker 1: Compact Center. This was a city owned building. We had

191
00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:07,800
Speaker 1: worked for two years presenting our case and trying to

192
00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:11,199
Speaker 1: convince council members. When we won the vote, we were

193
00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:14,440
Speaker 1: so excited. It was like God opened a door that

194
00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:18,200
Speaker 1: we never dreamed would open. The next day, a company

195
00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:22,040
Speaker 1: that owns all the high rises around this property filed

196
00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:25,120
Speaker 1: a federal lawsuit to try to keep us from moving in.

197
00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:29,600
Speaker 1: They were the largest taxpayer in Texas, a huge real

198
00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:33,120
Speaker 1: estate company with property all over the state. It was

199
00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:37,440
Speaker 1: like David versus Goliath. Our attorneys told us that it

200
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:39,840
Speaker 1: could be tied up in the courts for ten years.

201
00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:44,280
Speaker 1: How these kinds of legal proceedings can be extremely slow.

202
00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:48,319
Speaker 1: That meant we couldn't move in, We couldn't start our renovations.

203
00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:52,800
Speaker 1: Our future concerning this building was on hold. The problem

204
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:56,560
Speaker 1: was I had already presented the Compact Center to the church.

205
00:11:57,080 --> 00:12:00,720
Speaker 1: People had already given to support it. Everyone was excited,

206
00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:04,240
Speaker 1: asking when are we moving in. I would wake up

207
00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:08,120
Speaker 1: in the middle of the night in a cold sweat thoughts,

208
00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:11,000
Speaker 1: telling me you're gonna look like a fool. What are

209
00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:14,400
Speaker 1: you gonna do if you don't win the lawsuit. I

210
00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:18,240
Speaker 1: was tempted to live, worried, stressed, but I did what

211
00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:21,960
Speaker 1: I'm asking you to do, despite what the experts were saying,

212
00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:25,839
Speaker 1: despite how permanent it looked, I said, father, I want

213
00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:29,040
Speaker 1: to thank you that this trouble is only temporary, that

214
00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:33,200
Speaker 1: it won't last very long. Lord, I know you're working

215
00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:37,680
Speaker 1: behind the scenes, fighting our battles, making our crooked places straight,

216
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:41,240
Speaker 1: shining down your favor on us. I would check with

217
00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:45,080
Speaker 1: the attorneys every week, looking for some sign of hope.

218
00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:49,040
Speaker 1: Is there anything new? Nothing we haven't heard from them.

219
00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:52,200
Speaker 1: They didn't want to negotiate. They were going to sit

220
00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:55,480
Speaker 1: back and wait, drag it out for years until we

221
00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:58,880
Speaker 1: had to do something else. I could hear that promise

222
00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:03,319
Speaker 1: that's still small voice saying, Joel, trust me, this trouble

223
00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:06,920
Speaker 1: is only temporary. Soon it will be over. But my

224
00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:11,280
Speaker 1: mind would say, are you kidding. Nothing is improving. You're

225
00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:14,280
Speaker 1: years away from even finding out if it's going to

226
00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:17,959
Speaker 1: be yours. The battle is taking place in our thinking.

227
00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:21,880
Speaker 1: Don't accept the lies that it's permanent. It's going to

228
00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:24,440
Speaker 1: take a long, long time. You have to turn it

229
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:27,480
Speaker 1: around and say Father, thank you, that this will resolve

230
00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:32,000
Speaker 1: sooner than it looks. About eight months after the lawsuit

231
00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:35,240
Speaker 1: was filed, we received a call from the other side

232
00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:39,480
Speaker 1: saying they wanted to meet. I was excited. I believed

233
00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:43,239
Speaker 1: it was the hand of God. Our attorneys were more skeptical.

234
00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:46,040
Speaker 1: They said it was a ploy. They were just trying

235
00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:50,320
Speaker 1: to complicate things. We met with them. Not only did

236
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:53,560
Speaker 1: they agree to let us have this building, but to

237
00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:58,880
Speaker 1: lease us nine thousand cupboard parking spaces. They dropped the lawsuit,

238
00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:03,280
Speaker 1: the facility was ours, free and clear. What looked like

239
00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:07,120
Speaker 1: would take years to happen took place in a few months.

240
00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:11,640
Speaker 1: God is saying to you what you're up against is

241
00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:15,640
Speaker 1: going to resolve much sooner than it looks. That trouble

242
00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:18,760
Speaker 1: is not going to last long. That addiction is not

243
00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:22,720
Speaker 1: going to hinder you your whole life. The sickness, depression,

244
00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:26,800
Speaker 1: anxiety is not going to stop your destiny. Soon it's

245
00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:30,920
Speaker 1: going to be over, not years, but months. Why don't

246
00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:33,840
Speaker 1: you get in agreement with God. You may not see

247
00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:37,560
Speaker 1: how the giant looks too big, the sickness too great,

248
00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:41,440
Speaker 1: the opposition too strong. You're not in this by yourself.

249
00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:45,480
Speaker 1: The Most High God is fighting for you. He knows

250
00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:47,840
Speaker 1: how to move people out of the way. He can

251
00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:51,760
Speaker 1: do what medicine cannot do. He can restore what's been solen.

252
00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:55,360
Speaker 1: Sooner than later, you're going to see the hand of

253
00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:59,800
Speaker 1: God making things happen that you couldn't make happen, opening

254
00:14:59,840 --> 00:15:03,920
Speaker 1: door that no person can shut, turning situations around that

255
00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:08,359
Speaker 1: look impossible. But it's easy to live with this forever mindset.

256
00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:11,800
Speaker 1: It's never going to work out, or maybe years down

257
00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:14,840
Speaker 1: the road, maybe one day, Joel, I'll get a good break.

258
00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:19,120
Speaker 1: Switch over to assume mentality. Now. I know some things

259
00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:23,080
Speaker 1: take time, but God promises us in this verse soon

260
00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:26,640
Speaker 1: the trouble will be over. He's about to do something

261
00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:31,680
Speaker 1: out of a normal time frame, something unusual, sooner than

262
00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:35,520
Speaker 1: you think. Well, what if I believe and this doesn't happen.

263
00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:39,280
Speaker 1: What if you believe and it does happen, it probably

264
00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:42,840
Speaker 1: won't happen. If you've already accepted it's going to be

265
00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:45,360
Speaker 1: a long time to get out of this trouble, a

266
00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:48,280
Speaker 1: long time to get well, to meet the right person

267
00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:52,200
Speaker 1: to accomplish that dream. That's limiting what God will do.

268
00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:57,560
Speaker 1: I'm asking you to believe for sooner than later, even

269
00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:00,200
Speaker 1: if it doesn't happen as soon as you like. Yes,

270
00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:02,600
Speaker 1: we all have to wait. But I've made up my mind.

271
00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:05,440
Speaker 1: I'm gonna live with the soon mentality. I'm gonna keep

272
00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:09,200
Speaker 1: release in my faith, reminding God what he promised, that

273
00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:13,840
Speaker 1: this difficulty will soon be over. There are forty two

274
00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:17,880
Speaker 1: chapters in the Book of Job. All forty two talk

275
00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:20,960
Speaker 1: about what he went through. Seems like this struggle with

276
00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:24,440
Speaker 1: his whole life, But the last two verses of the

277
00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:29,120
Speaker 1: Book of Job are very significant. After describing the trouble,

278
00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:33,440
Speaker 1: the heartache, the loss for forty two chapters, the last

279
00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:38,080
Speaker 1: thing written says, after this Job lived one hundred and

280
00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:43,520
Speaker 1: forty years and saw his children and grandchildren for four generations.

281
00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:47,560
Speaker 1: Then he died an old man, having lived a long,

282
00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:53,480
Speaker 1: good life. Job's struggle was approximately nine months. But after

283
00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:57,560
Speaker 1: that struggle he lived one hundred and forty good years,

284
00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:02,080
Speaker 1: happy years, healthy years, years where he enjoyed his children,

285
00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:05,720
Speaker 1: years where there was great joy and laughter in his house.

286
00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:10,560
Speaker 1: God was showing us the trouble is temporary. The trouble

287
00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:14,080
Speaker 1: is not going to last forever. You may be in

288
00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:17,760
Speaker 1: a difficult time, but that's not how your story ends.

289
00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:22,080
Speaker 1: That loss is not going to define you. That sickness

290
00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:24,680
Speaker 1: is not going to ruin the rest of your life.

291
00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:28,240
Speaker 1: That person that walked away, the bad break, the unfair

292
00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:32,520
Speaker 1: situation is not going to stop your purpose. God has

293
00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:37,160
Speaker 1: an after this for you. After the trouble, there's going

294
00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:40,400
Speaker 1: to be great joy in your life, after the loss,

295
00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:44,080
Speaker 1: after the sickness, after the legal battle. You're going to

296
00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:49,080
Speaker 1: see new friendships, new opportunities, new growth. Don't be discouraged

297
00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:53,360
Speaker 1: by the trouble. It's not stopping anything God has for you.

298
00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:57,640
Speaker 1: God is storing up all the joy, all the good breaks,

299
00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:01,200
Speaker 1: the favor, the resources that have been put on hold

300
00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:05,960
Speaker 1: because of this temporary trouble. You're not losing anything. What

301
00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:09,960
Speaker 1: belongs to you is still coming your way. Your latter

302
00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:14,160
Speaker 1: days will be better than your former days. Your story

303
00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:19,760
Speaker 1: doesn't end in defeat, doesn't end in failure, injustice, sorrow,

304
00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:24,960
Speaker 1: those are temporary seasons. Your story ends in victory. God

305
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:28,640
Speaker 1: has already lined up and after this for you. He said,

306
00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:32,119
Speaker 1: what was meant for your harm, He's turning to your advantage.

307
00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:36,080
Speaker 1: Even now, God is turning some things. He's turning the trouble,

308
00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:40,240
Speaker 1: turning the sickness, turning the people that are against you.

309
00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:43,920
Speaker 1: You're about to step in to an advantage, step into

310
00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:48,320
Speaker 1: favor that God has already lined up for you. When

311
00:18:48,359 --> 00:18:52,160
Speaker 1: we walked into that meeting, the CEO of the company

312
00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:56,280
Speaker 1: had already changed his mind. God had already turned his heart.

313
00:18:56,600 --> 00:18:59,920
Speaker 1: He was against us. But no person can stand again

314
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:04,960
Speaker 1: star God, no bad break, no sickness, no trouble. God

315
00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:10,040
Speaker 1: controls the universe. He said. Weeping may endure for a night,

316
00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:13,639
Speaker 1: but joy is coming in the morning. You may be

317
00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:17,680
Speaker 1: in a night season. Can I encourage you? It's temporary.

318
00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:20,760
Speaker 1: Joy is on the way. God is going to turn

319
00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:25,280
Speaker 1: your mourning into dancing, your sorrow into joy. What's holding

320
00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:28,560
Speaker 1: you back is not going to last much longer. Soon

321
00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:32,280
Speaker 1: it will be over. One time I was flying to

322
00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:35,720
Speaker 1: India with my father. It was a fifteen hour flight.

323
00:19:36,200 --> 00:19:40,240
Speaker 1: Everything was going fine, cruising along very smoothly. But about

324
00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:44,159
Speaker 1: twelve hours in the plane hit this turbulence and started

325
00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:48,720
Speaker 1: bouncing around like a roller coaster, up and down. Everything

326
00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:52,760
Speaker 1: started flying, laptops hitting the ceiling. Some of the flight

327
00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:55,760
Speaker 1: attendants had gone up in the air landed on top

328
00:19:55,800 --> 00:20:00,800
Speaker 1: of other passengers. People were screaming, panicking. For about ten minutes,

329
00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:04,080
Speaker 1: it was chaos. You had to hold on for dear life.

330
00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:08,120
Speaker 1: Eventually it all calmed down and thankfully nobody was injured.

331
00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:12,120
Speaker 1: Went back to smooth sailing. The last several hours were

332
00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:15,439
Speaker 1: as peaceful as can be. This is how it is

333
00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:19,920
Speaker 1: in life. Were going along fine, everyone is healthy, We're

334
00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:24,720
Speaker 1: getting good breaks. Then we hit some turbulence, an unexpected challenge,

335
00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:28,800
Speaker 1: a sickness, a layoff, a friend betrays you. You didn't

336
00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:32,920
Speaker 1: see it coming. It's easy to panic. God, what's happening?

337
00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:36,160
Speaker 1: Can I encourage you? It's just a part of your

338
00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:39,920
Speaker 1: ten minutes of turbulence. It's not going to last. It

339
00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:43,880
Speaker 1: may be chaotic, feel stressful, but it's going to calm down.

340
00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:47,560
Speaker 1: There's going to be and after this for you, after

341
00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:51,360
Speaker 1: the turbulence, you're going to come out just fine. I've

342
00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:55,280
Speaker 1: discovered we're all going to have about ten minutes of turbulence,

343
00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:58,600
Speaker 1: not at once, but a minute here, a minute there.

344
00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:02,600
Speaker 1: Our mind will tell us it's permanent. I'll never get

345
00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:07,040
Speaker 1: through this difficulty. It's bumpier than I've ever felt. God

346
00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:10,760
Speaker 1: is still in control. He's not only flying your plane,

347
00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:14,240
Speaker 1: but he controls the weather. He speaks to storms and

348
00:21:14,320 --> 00:21:18,200
Speaker 1: they calm down. A friend of mine recently lost his job.

349
00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:22,400
Speaker 1: He'd been there for many years and wasn't about his performance.

350
00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:25,200
Speaker 1: They just didn't have the funds to pay him. He

351
00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:29,080
Speaker 1: was tempted to panic, be upset. I told him what

352
00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:32,359
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, this is not how your story ends.

353
00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:35,359
Speaker 1: The trouble is going to pass, and the rest of

354
00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:38,399
Speaker 1: your flight is going to be smooth. God has it

355
00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:42,920
Speaker 1: already figured out. There's another position already lined up, has

356
00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:46,040
Speaker 1: your name on it. If you'll stay in faith and

357
00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:48,560
Speaker 1: keep being your best, you're going to come in to

358
00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:52,480
Speaker 1: your after this. You'll say, after the layoff, I got

359
00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:56,439
Speaker 1: a better position. After they walked away, I met someone better.

360
00:21:57,000 --> 00:22:01,439
Speaker 1: After the sickness, I came out stronger. What's interesting is

361
00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:05,000
Speaker 1: that ten minutes of turbulence felt like ten hours to me.

362
00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:09,480
Speaker 1: I was sweating, holding on for dear life, praying the

363
00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:12,960
Speaker 1: Sinner's prayer forty two times, God, please forgive me. I'm

364
00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:16,560
Speaker 1: about to come see you. I was afraid and stressed out.

365
00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:20,119
Speaker 1: If I had known it was temporary, I would have

366
00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:22,919
Speaker 1: enjoyed the ride, pay a lot of money to go

367
00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:25,800
Speaker 1: to Disneyland to ride a ride like that. If I

368
00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:29,320
Speaker 1: had known it wasn't going to last very long, if

369
00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:31,760
Speaker 1: I had known everything was going to be all right,

370
00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:35,040
Speaker 1: I would have stayed in peace, said Lord, thank you,

371
00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:38,600
Speaker 1: I know this too shall pass. I know this temporary

372
00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:41,639
Speaker 1: problem is not going to stop your plan for my life.

373
00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:45,320
Speaker 1: I could have relaxed and saved myself a lot of

374
00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:49,840
Speaker 1: heartache if I had only remembered the trouble was temporary.

375
00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:53,919
Speaker 1: Maybe you're in part of your ten minutes of turbulence.

376
00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:56,760
Speaker 1: Now it feels like it's going to be ten years.

377
00:22:57,200 --> 00:23:00,720
Speaker 1: You're worried, losing sleep, trying to figure it all out.

378
00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:04,600
Speaker 1: Come back to a place of peace. It's not permanent.

379
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:07,679
Speaker 1: Things are going to work out. God is going to

380
00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:11,159
Speaker 1: get you to your destiny. You may not see how

381
00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:15,639
Speaker 1: the winds are strong. The plane is bouncing around. God

382
00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:20,000
Speaker 1: controls the winds. That cancer is not bigger than our God.

383
00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:24,000
Speaker 1: That breakup didn't stop your purpose. The trouble at work

384
00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:27,600
Speaker 1: is not going to last. God is behind the scenes

385
00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:31,359
Speaker 1: right now, working in your life. Your time is coming.

386
00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:34,919
Speaker 1: It's going to happen sooner than you think. In the

387
00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:37,960
Speaker 1: Book of Genesis, God told Noah that there was going

388
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:41,080
Speaker 1: to be a great flood. He was to build an arc,

389
00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:44,640
Speaker 1: a huge boat, take two of every kind of animal

390
00:23:44,760 --> 00:23:48,520
Speaker 1: on it. While he was building, I'm sure people made

391
00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:51,840
Speaker 1: fun of him, thought, what's this crazy man doing. There's

392
00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:55,720
Speaker 1: no water around here. At that time, it had never rained.

393
00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:59,080
Speaker 1: The dew came up from the ground and watered the earth.

394
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:04,080
Speaker 1: Imagine how odd that seemed. But the scripture says Noah

395
00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:08,359
Speaker 1: did exactly what God asked him to do. He was obedient.

396
00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:12,960
Speaker 1: The rain came for forty days, the whole earth was flooded.

397
00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:16,320
Speaker 1: Noah and his family were on the boat. Months and

398
00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:19,359
Speaker 1: months went by. Noah didn't know he was going to

399
00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:22,320
Speaker 1: be like that the rest of his life. He sent

400
00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:24,960
Speaker 1: a bird out to see if the waters were receding,

401
00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:28,479
Speaker 1: but the bird came back it could land. This happened

402
00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:32,320
Speaker 1: again and again. It looked like this was permanent. But

403
00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:37,159
Speaker 1: Chapter eight says God remembered Noah. He sent a wind

404
00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:41,399
Speaker 1: to blow across the waters, and the floods begin to disappear.

405
00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:47,320
Speaker 1: God remembers your faithfulness. He remembers your obedience the times.

406
00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:50,119
Speaker 1: Like Noah, you did the right thing when it was hard.

407
00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:54,720
Speaker 1: You kept giving, serving, being good to people. Not seeing

408
00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:59,160
Speaker 1: anything change, nothing was getting better. Don't worry. Your time

409
00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:02,840
Speaker 1: is coming. God's sin a wind and the waters begin

410
00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:07,040
Speaker 1: to disappear. A year later, Noah and his family were

411
00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:10,080
Speaker 1: able to get off the boat. Now I believe, like

412
00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:13,439
Speaker 1: with him, God is about to breathe on your life,

413
00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:18,159
Speaker 1: and problems that look permanent are about to disappear. That

414
00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:22,240
Speaker 1: sickness you've been dealing with, the child you're so concerned about,

415
00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:26,239
Speaker 1: the trouble at work that's hindering you. By faith, I

416
00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:29,840
Speaker 1: can see the wind of God's spirit causing it to disappear.

417
00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:37,920
Speaker 1: Addictions disappearing, Depression disappearing, lack, not having enough disappearing. This

418
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:42,200
Speaker 1: is a new day. God is breathing his favor, his blessing,

419
00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:46,800
Speaker 1: his healing on your life right now. The next verse says,

420
00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:52,560
Speaker 1: the underground water sources cease their gushing. The torrential rains

421
00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:57,199
Speaker 1: stopped flowing. There are things that you can't see. They're underground,

422
00:25:57,359 --> 00:26:00,320
Speaker 1: so to speak. They're about to cease in your life.

423
00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:03,280
Speaker 1: God is going to cut off the source of what's

424
00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:06,679
Speaker 1: limiting you, the source of what's holding you back. The

425
00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:10,439
Speaker 1: sickness is about to cease, The addiction is about to cease,

426
00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:14,840
Speaker 1: The trouble is about to cease. When those waters ceased,

427
00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:17,920
Speaker 1: it took a few months before Noah and his family

428
00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:20,960
Speaker 1: could come off the boat. You may not see anything

429
00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:24,960
Speaker 1: happening yet, but that doesn't mean things haven't changed. It's

430
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:27,880
Speaker 1: just a matter of time before you see what God

431
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:31,680
Speaker 1: was up to. Now, keep the right perspective. The trouble

432
00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:35,400
Speaker 1: is temporary. It's not going to last as long as

433
00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:39,360
Speaker 1: it looks. Live with this soon mentality not it's way

434
00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:42,359
Speaker 1: off in the future. Soon things are going to change

435
00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:45,800
Speaker 1: in my favor. If you'll do this, I believe and declare,

436
00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:50,200
Speaker 1: healing is coming, freedom is coming, breakthroughs are coming soon.

437
00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:52,720
Speaker 1: You're going to get well soon. You're going to meet

438
00:26:52,760 --> 00:26:56,600
Speaker 1: the right person soon. That problem's going to turn around. Soon.

439
00:26:56,800 --> 00:27:00,239
Speaker 1: You're going to see God's favor in new ways. In

440
00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:03,800
Speaker 1: Jesus's name, If you receive it, can you say amen? Today,

441
00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:08,240
Speaker 1: I'd like to give you an opportunity to make Jesus

442
00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:10,639
Speaker 1: the Lord of your life. Would you pray with me?

443
00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:16,720
Speaker 1: Just say, Lord, Jesus, I repent of my sins. Come

444
00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:20,600
Speaker 1: into my heart. I make you my Lord and savior.

445
00:27:21,720 --> 00:27:24,160
Speaker 1: If you prayed that simple prayer, we believe you got

446
00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:27,200
Speaker 1: born again. We'd love to send you some free information.

447
00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:30,280
Speaker 1: Text the number on the screen or go to the website.

448
00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:33,840
Speaker 1: I hope you'll get planted in a good Bible based

449
00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:36,320
Speaker 1: church and keep God the first place.

450
00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:39,639
Speaker 3: Do you have a dream that's waiting to happen, but

451
00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:42,680
Speaker 3: it often feels like you'll never get there? Is your

452
00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:46,080
Speaker 3: dream to start a business, to see a loved one

453
00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:49,240
Speaker 3: come to the Lord? Are you asking God? Will it

454
00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:49,919
Speaker 3: ever happen?

455
00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:53,720
Speaker 1: Sometimes it feels like our dream is so far off.

456
00:27:54,040 --> 00:27:56,040
Speaker 1: But I believe you're closer than you think.

457
00:27:56,280 --> 00:27:59,920
