Thanks for listening to our 38 00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:36,400 Speaker 4: podcast and thanks for supporting the ministry. 39 00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:38,880 Speaker 2: If you enjoy today's messy, why don't you be a 40 00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:40,039 Speaker 2: blessing and share it with. 41 00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:43,360 Speaker 4: A friend, reappreciate you and pray for God's very best 42 00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:50,520 Speaker 4: in your life. Well, God bless you. It's a joy 43 00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:53,600 Speaker 4: to come into your homes. If you're ever in our area, 44 00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:56,720 Speaker 4: please stop buying. Be a part of one of our services. 45 00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:59,520 Speaker 4: I promise you we'll make you feel right at home. 46 00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:02,520 Speaker 4: I like to start with something funny, and I heard 47 00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:05,800 Speaker 4: about this pastor and song leader that weren't getting along, 48 00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:09,840 Speaker 4: and it started to spill over into the services. One Sunday, 49 00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:14,320 Speaker 4: the pastor talked about the importance of being a giver. Afterwards, 50 00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:17,079 Speaker 4: the song leader got up and led the song Jesus 51 00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:20,520 Speaker 4: paid it all. The next week, the pastor talked about 52 00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:23,560 Speaker 4: not gossiping and watching your tongue. The song leader got 53 00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:26,960 Speaker 4: up and led, I love to tell the story. Another week, 54 00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:30,240 Speaker 4: he talked about being willing to change. The song leader 55 00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:33,440 Speaker 4: got up and led, I shall not be moved. The 56 00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:37,880 Speaker 4: pastor was so frustrated he resigned. Told the congregation Jesus 57 00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:40,960 Speaker 4: brought me here and Jesus has taken me away. The 58 00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:44,520 Speaker 4: song leader then led, what a friend we have in Jesus. 59 00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:48,200 Speaker 4: Say it like you mean it. This is my Bible. 60 00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:51,000 Speaker 4: I am what it says I am. I have what 61 00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:53,560 Speaker 4: it says I have. I can do what it says 62 00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:56,400 Speaker 4: I can do. Today I will be taught the word 63 00:02:56,440 --> 00:03:00,720 Speaker 4: of God. I boldly confess my mind is at my 64 00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:05,440 Speaker 4: heart is receptive. I will never be the same. In Jesus' name, 65 00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:09,239 Speaker 4: God bless you. I want to talk to you today 66 00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:14,280 Speaker 4: about the secret to solving problems. We all face challenges 67 00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:17,600 Speaker 4: and things we're believing will turn around. A child that's 68 00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:21,240 Speaker 4: off course, a sickness, we're dealing with a dream that 69 00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:25,960 Speaker 4: seems impossible. We've been praying, believing, but nothing is changing. 70 00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:31,360 Speaker 4: Sometimes God won't allow you to solve your own problem. 71 00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:35,320 Speaker 4: The secret is you have to help someone else solve 72 00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:39,040 Speaker 4: their problem. You have to take the focus off yourself 73 00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:42,600 Speaker 4: and be good to others in your time of need. 74 00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:46,000 Speaker 4: As you sow that seed, that's what's going to bring 75 00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:49,320 Speaker 4: the harvest that you're waiting for. But you'll be tempted 76 00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:53,119 Speaker 4: to think I can't help them, Joel, have my own problems. 77 00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:55,360 Speaker 4: I need to spend my energy to try to fix 78 00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:59,240 Speaker 4: my situation. But if you'll take your hands off of 79 00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:03,120 Speaker 4: your problem and be good to someone else, God will 80 00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:06,880 Speaker 4: put his hands on your problem and make things happen 81 00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:11,240 Speaker 4: that you couldn't make happen. While you're working on their situation, 82 00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:15,320 Speaker 4: God is working on your situation. A friend of mine 83 00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:19,120 Speaker 4: struggled for many years with his teenage son. It was 84 00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:22,359 Speaker 4: like they were on different wavelengths. He tried his best 85 00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:26,600 Speaker 4: to be loving, kind, understanding. They just didn't get along, 86 00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:31,520 Speaker 4: invariably end up in an argument. Everything was so contentious. 87 00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:35,000 Speaker 4: He had prayed about it, quoted scripture, asked God to 88 00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:38,360 Speaker 4: help him, but nothing was getting better. He was the 89 00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:41,400 Speaker 4: coach of the neighborhood baseball team. There was a young 90 00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:45,200 Speaker 4: man on his team that came from a single parent family. 91 00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:48,839 Speaker 4: He wasn't doing good in his schoolwork. When this father 92 00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:52,440 Speaker 4: learned that, he took that young man under his wing. 93 00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:56,640 Speaker 4: He started bringing him home from baseball practice with his son, 94 00:04:57,080 --> 00:05:00,680 Speaker 4: and he would help him do his homework, cootered him, 95 00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:04,880 Speaker 4: mentored him, became a father figure in his life. That 96 00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:08,479 Speaker 4: young man looked up to him admired him in a 97 00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:13,120 Speaker 4: great way. About six months after this father started doing that, 98 00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:18,160 Speaker 4: his relationship with his own son began to improve. They 99 00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:22,719 Speaker 4: got closer, started doing things together. Today they're the best 100 00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:26,640 Speaker 4: of friends. You can't keep them apart. The secret to 101 00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:32,200 Speaker 4: solving his problem wasn't in praying more, wasn't in working harder. 102 00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:36,880 Speaker 4: It was in helping someone else solve their problem. The 103 00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:41,480 Speaker 4: scripture says, when Job prayed for his friends, his healing 104 00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:45,480 Speaker 4: quickly came. Don't you know how many times Job prayed 105 00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:50,200 Speaker 4: for himself when he wasn't feeling well. God, please restore 106 00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:53,719 Speaker 4: health back into me. God please free me from this pain. 107 00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:58,160 Speaker 4: And that's good. That's releasing your faith. I'm simply saying, 108 00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:03,200 Speaker 4: don't stop there, because there are times your breakthrough is 109 00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:08,200 Speaker 4: connected to helping someone else get their breakthrough. Now, maybe 110 00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:12,720 Speaker 4: you've been praying diligently, standing in faith so strong, but 111 00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:17,279 Speaker 4: nothing is improving. Now it's time to go be a blessing. 112 00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:21,880 Speaker 4: Look around, where is a need you can meet. Go 113 00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:25,680 Speaker 4: pray for that neighbor that's not feeling well. Go encourage 114 00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:30,400 Speaker 4: that coworker that's struggling. Go help that friend accomplish their dream. 115 00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:34,159 Speaker 4: As you're helping others, you may not be able to 116 00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:37,719 Speaker 4: see it, but God is helping you. He's lining up 117 00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:42,600 Speaker 4: the promotion, the breakthroughs, the healing. You can't sow acede 118 00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:46,359 Speaker 4: without reaping a harvest. When I was ten years old, 119 00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:50,320 Speaker 4: Lakewood was in an auditorium that held a thousand people. 120 00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:54,360 Speaker 4: The church was growing. We needed to expand the building. 121 00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:58,599 Speaker 4: My father asked the congregation to be praying about what 122 00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:01,520 Speaker 4: they could give toward it. And there was a small 123 00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:06,000 Speaker 4: Spanish speaking church about six blocks down the road from Lakewood. 124 00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:09,760 Speaker 4: They had started construction on a new building. It was 125 00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:13,800 Speaker 4: an auditorium to hold one hundred people. My father noticed 126 00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:17,480 Speaker 4: that the construction had stopped for several months. No one 127 00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:21,040 Speaker 4: was working. He didn't know anyone there. He had never 128 00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:26,120 Speaker 4: met the pastor. But one afternoon, leaving Lakewood, he pulled 129 00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:29,680 Speaker 4: in and talked with some people. They told how they 130 00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:34,760 Speaker 4: started construction but had complications. It was costing more than 131 00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:37,880 Speaker 4: they thought. Now they had run out of funds and 132 00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:42,200 Speaker 4: the building was just sitting there indefinitely. Well, my father 133 00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:46,560 Speaker 4: was believing to raise the funds to expand Lakewood. We 134 00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:51,200 Speaker 4: needed the finances, but he told the congregation instead of 135 00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:54,160 Speaker 4: giving money for our building, he was going to take 136 00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:58,680 Speaker 4: up an offering for their building. Lakewood gave the finances. 137 00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:02,720 Speaker 4: It was enough to finish their auditorium. In the natural, 138 00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:06,920 Speaker 4: it didn't make sense. We needed the finances. We had 139 00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:11,200 Speaker 4: the problem. But my father understood this principle. When you 140 00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:16,960 Speaker 4: help solve somebody else's problem, God will help solve your problem. Now, 141 00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:21,680 Speaker 4: sometimes it's not going to make sense. Proverb says it 142 00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:25,880 Speaker 4: is possible to give away and have more. It is 143 00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:30,120 Speaker 4: also possible to hold on too tightly and lose everything. 144 00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:35,000 Speaker 4: God's ways are not our ways. Everything in you will say, 145 00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:38,680 Speaker 4: stay focused on getting out of my problem, Joel, I 146 00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:43,200 Speaker 4: can't help others until this problem is solved. No helping 147 00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:46,800 Speaker 4: others is what's going to cause that problem to turn around. 148 00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:51,440 Speaker 4: Giving your time, energy, resources, that's what's going to open 149 00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:54,400 Speaker 4: the windows of heaven and cause your dream to come 150 00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:58,680 Speaker 4: to pass. You would have thought giving away those funds 151 00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:02,400 Speaker 4: would have kept like would from expanding the building. It 152 00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:06,400 Speaker 4: was just the opposite. The funds came in for the foundation. 153 00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:09,680 Speaker 4: We paid it all. The funds came in for the steel, 154 00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:13,600 Speaker 4: the lights, the chairs, the sound system. The building was 155 00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:19,320 Speaker 4: built debt free, no delays, no complications, and not just 156 00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:24,440 Speaker 4: that building. Over the years, my father built building after building, 157 00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:30,080 Speaker 4: expansion after expansion. He paid cash every time. He never 158 00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:34,320 Speaker 4: lacked resources, never lacked the funds. I believe it all 159 00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:38,320 Speaker 4: started when he helped that Spanish church. He had a need, 160 00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:41,400 Speaker 4: he had a problem. He didn't just pray about it, 161 00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:46,079 Speaker 4: he didn't just believe. He helped solve someone else's problem. 162 00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:50,880 Speaker 4: When you make sacrifices to help other people's dream come 163 00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:55,080 Speaker 4: to pass, God will make sure your dream comes to pass. 164 00:09:56,000 --> 00:10:01,439 Speaker 4: Don't live only focused on yourself, my goal, my problems, 165 00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:05,280 Speaker 4: my trouble at work. Get your mind off yourself and 166 00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:09,320 Speaker 4: go be a blessing. Sow a sde doesn't have to 167 00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:13,680 Speaker 4: be finances. You can sow encouragement. Go visit that loved 168 00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:17,520 Speaker 4: one in the hospital. Cheer them up, Call that friend 169 00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:21,920 Speaker 4: and speak life into their dreams. Take that elderly neighbor 170 00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:26,080 Speaker 4: dinner each night. Make an extra plate for them. The 171 00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:29,800 Speaker 4: scripture says, when it's in your power to do good, 172 00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:34,480 Speaker 4: don't withhold it from others. That means, when you know 173 00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:38,160 Speaker 4: you can be a blessing, you have the resources to 174 00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:41,080 Speaker 4: help that person in need. You can teach them the 175 00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:44,959 Speaker 4: skills that you've learned. Don't put it off. When you 176 00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:49,040 Speaker 4: help solve their problem, You're not just being good to them, 177 00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:53,720 Speaker 4: you are setting a miracle in motion for yourself. When 178 00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:57,840 Speaker 4: you show favor. The scripture says, fever will come to you. 179 00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:01,960 Speaker 4: And here's the beauty. Can you help others? What you 180 00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:05,520 Speaker 4: give is going to come back to you, but not 181 00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:10,440 Speaker 4: in the same proportion. Press down, shaking together, running over. 182 00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:15,480 Speaker 4: My father helped that Spanish church that one time, but 183 00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:20,040 Speaker 4: the blessing from that obedience is still coming. When you're 184 00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:23,040 Speaker 4: in a difficult time more than ever. You need to 185 00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:28,320 Speaker 4: look for opportunities to do good. When your dream seems impossible, 186 00:11:28,840 --> 00:11:33,080 Speaker 4: find someone and help their dream come to pass. It's 187 00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:36,800 Speaker 4: good to pray, believe, work hard, but some things are 188 00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:40,560 Speaker 4: not going to happen if you're only focused on yourself. 189 00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:44,280 Speaker 4: As you bless others, God will bless you. As you 190 00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:48,680 Speaker 4: show favor, favor will come to you. The last Sunday 191 00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:52,160 Speaker 4: that we had services at our old location, I was 192 00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:56,480 Speaker 4: driving down the road that final time, leaving the services, 193 00:11:56,800 --> 00:12:00,680 Speaker 4: feeling so grateful for all that God had done. My 194 00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:04,920 Speaker 4: mind was flooded with good memories and overwhelmed with where 195 00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:08,280 Speaker 4: God was taking us. I looked up and saw a 196 00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:12,400 Speaker 4: beautiful rainbow in the sky. It's as if God was 197 00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:16,240 Speaker 4: smiling on us, saying this chapter is finished, but another 198 00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:20,760 Speaker 4: great chapter is beginning. About that time, I passed that 199 00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:24,880 Speaker 4: small Spanish church that my father and Lakewood had helped 200 00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:29,920 Speaker 4: over forty years earlier. Their little sign outside said thank 201 00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:34,160 Speaker 4: you Lakewood for giving us our building. My mind flashed 202 00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:36,760 Speaker 4: back to that time when I was a little boy. 203 00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:40,600 Speaker 4: I wondered would I be going to the Compact Center 204 00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:43,840 Speaker 4: if my father had not helped them in their time 205 00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:46,920 Speaker 4: of need. Would I be seeing the favor, the growth, 206 00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:51,560 Speaker 4: the influence. Day could have thought we got big problems, 207 00:12:52,120 --> 00:12:55,440 Speaker 4: we needed more than they do. We have all these challenges, 208 00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:59,880 Speaker 4: but he didn't withhold the good when he had the opportunity. 209 00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:03,440 Speaker 4: Much of this comes down to trusting God, Joel. I 210 00:13:03,480 --> 00:13:06,520 Speaker 4: can't help somebody else. I got my own problems. I 211 00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:09,320 Speaker 4: can't give away what I need from my dreams. I'm 212 00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:13,200 Speaker 4: counting on that. When you give your time, your energy, 213 00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:17,440 Speaker 4: your resources, your talent, you will never end up with less. 214 00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:20,680 Speaker 4: That is a seed you're sowing that's going to keep 215 00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:24,720 Speaker 4: coming back to you. I am reaping a harvest from 216 00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:30,200 Speaker 4: seeds of obedience that my parents sowed fifty years ago. 217 00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:34,800 Speaker 4: When you live a life of generosity, making sacrifices for 218 00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:38,320 Speaker 4: others to come up higher, that's not only going to 219 00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:41,680 Speaker 4: impact you for the good. It's going to impact your children, 220 00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:45,920 Speaker 4: your grandchildren. Those seeds are going to keep on producing. 221 00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:51,200 Speaker 4: Second King's nineteen King, Hezekiah was on the throne of Israel. 222 00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:55,400 Speaker 4: He was one of David's descendants. The Assyrian army had 223 00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:58,800 Speaker 4: surrounded the people of Judah and were about to attack. 224 00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:03,280 Speaker 4: They were much better, bigger, and stronger. Hezekiah didn't stand 225 00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:07,920 Speaker 4: a chance. Isaiah the Prophet told him, the Assyrian army 226 00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:12,520 Speaker 4: will not enter Jerusalem. They will not shoot their arrows 227 00:14:12,559 --> 00:14:16,400 Speaker 4: over the city wall, but they will return home in defeat. 228 00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:21,320 Speaker 4: That night, the Angel of the Lord destroyed one hundred 229 00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:25,120 Speaker 4: and eighty five thousand of the enemy troops. The rest 230 00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:30,000 Speaker 4: of them went back home, just like Isaiah prophesied. Hezekiah 231 00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:34,160 Speaker 4: was so thrilled. I can imagine he wondered why God 232 00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:36,080 Speaker 4: blessed him in such a way, and why he showed 233 00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:40,840 Speaker 4: him so much favor. Isaiah said in verse thirty four, Hezekiah, 234 00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:45,040 Speaker 4: God didn't do this because of anything you did. He 235 00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:50,160 Speaker 4: protected you for the sake of his servant David. This 236 00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:54,000 Speaker 4: was three hundred and five years after David had died. 237 00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:57,800 Speaker 4: Yet those seeds of obedience, seeds of being good to 238 00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:03,400 Speaker 4: people were still producing in their family line. Every time 239 00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:06,920 Speaker 4: you help someone in need, it's not only going to 240 00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:10,760 Speaker 4: help you, but you are storing up blessings for your children. 241 00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:15,000 Speaker 4: Every time you helped solve someone's problem, every time you 242 00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:19,120 Speaker 4: make sacrifices to help them go further, you're so in 243 00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:22,640 Speaker 4: a seed not only for you to go further, but 244 00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:25,880 Speaker 4: for those that come after you in your family line 245 00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:30,760 Speaker 4: to go further like Hezekiah. They will see blessings, favor 246 00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:36,280 Speaker 4: protection because you made decisions that honored God. In the Scripture, 247 00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:40,480 Speaker 4: Joseph had a big problem. As a teenager. God gave 248 00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:43,320 Speaker 4: him a dream that he would be in leadership and 249 00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:46,880 Speaker 4: do great things. But his brothers were jealous of him. 250 00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:50,520 Speaker 4: They didn't like his big dream. They threw him into 251 00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:53,560 Speaker 4: a pit. They were going to tell their father that 252 00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:56,880 Speaker 4: he was eaten by a wild animal. They ended up 253 00:15:56,960 --> 00:16:01,400 Speaker 4: selling him into slavery. Joseph for a man named Potterphar 254 00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:05,880 Speaker 4: in Egypt. Even though Joseph had a big problem. Even 255 00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:09,360 Speaker 4: though his dreams were shattered, what did he do sit 256 00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:13,240 Speaker 4: around in self pity blaming God? Know in the midst 257 00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:17,920 Speaker 4: of that problem, he started helping Potterphar with his problem. 258 00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:23,640 Speaker 4: He ran his whole household, organized all his staff, made 259 00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:27,840 Speaker 4: sure the grounds were clean, the property secure, the supplies 260 00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:32,640 Speaker 4: in place. Instead of just focusing on his problem, he 261 00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:36,800 Speaker 4: was being good to someone else. At one point, Joseph 262 00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:40,760 Speaker 4: was falsely accused and put in prison. Surely now he 263 00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:45,400 Speaker 4: would be bitter discouraged. But in the prison, two of 264 00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:49,360 Speaker 4: his cellmates had a problem. They had a dream and 265 00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:53,720 Speaker 4: didn't understand what it meant. Joseph didn't say, too bad 266 00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:57,360 Speaker 4: for you. I'm depressed. I don't want to be here. 267 00:16:57,560 --> 00:17:01,400 Speaker 4: I don't like you anyway. He said, I can interpret dreams. 268 00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:06,040 Speaker 4: Let me help you with your problem. He interpreted their dreams. 269 00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:09,640 Speaker 4: One of the seal mates was released from prison. Two 270 00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:13,680 Speaker 4: years later. The Pharaoh, the leader of the country, had 271 00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:17,600 Speaker 4: a dream that he didn't understand. The former salmates said, 272 00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:22,119 Speaker 4: I know someone that can interpret dreams. Joseph came before 273 00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:25,320 Speaker 4: the Pharaoh and told him how the dream had to 274 00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:28,280 Speaker 4: do with the food supply, and how there were years 275 00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:31,639 Speaker 4: of famine coming and how important it was to store 276 00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:35,840 Speaker 4: up grain and get everything prepared for the drought. Pharaoh 277 00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:38,560 Speaker 4: looked at him and said, Joseph, you're the right man 278 00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:41,240 Speaker 4: for the job. Nobody could do it better than you. 279 00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:45,760 Speaker 4: He made Joseph second in command of Egypt. What was 280 00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:51,400 Speaker 4: Joseph doing for Pharaoh? Solving a problem, strategically, getting everything 281 00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:56,280 Speaker 4: lined up, using his talent, his skill, his expertise to 282 00:17:56,440 --> 00:18:00,359 Speaker 4: help the people that were holding him captive. He was 283 00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:04,600 Speaker 4: so excellent that people from other nations came to study 284 00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:09,399 Speaker 4: his operation. And I'm sure Joseph was grateful to be 285 00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:13,399 Speaker 4: out of prison, to have this influential position, but he 286 00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:17,680 Speaker 4: still missed his family. Deep down, he thought he would 287 00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:21,399 Speaker 4: never see his father again, whom he loved so much. 288 00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:25,360 Speaker 4: He'd already accepted that it was too late. But as 289 00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:30,200 Speaker 4: he was helping Pharaoh with his problem back home in Israel, 290 00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:34,400 Speaker 4: his brothers were loading up their camels about to head 291 00:18:34,400 --> 00:18:38,160 Speaker 4: to Egypt to look for food. They had heard the 292 00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:42,160 Speaker 4: only place that had supplies was at the palace, where 293 00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:46,840 Speaker 4: Joseph was in charge. Noticed what was happening. While Joseph 294 00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:51,320 Speaker 4: was working on Pharaoh's problem, God was working on Joseph's problem. 295 00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:54,720 Speaker 4: He couldn't see it at the time. Everything looked just 296 00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:58,680 Speaker 4: the same. But what Joseph didn't know was the camels 297 00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:03,240 Speaker 4: were coming. Brothers were on the way. I can imagine 298 00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:06,560 Speaker 4: one evening, there was a knock on the palace gates. 299 00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:10,760 Speaker 4: The guards looked outside and saw this caravan of camels. 300 00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:13,840 Speaker 4: They asked the people what they wanted. They said they 301 00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:17,880 Speaker 4: were looking for food. One of the guards went to Joseph, said, 302 00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:20,400 Speaker 4: there's a group that just arrived. They want to purchase 303 00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:24,159 Speaker 4: some grain. Was late in the day. Joseph was tired. 304 00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:26,960 Speaker 4: He was about to say, tell them to leave, don't 305 00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:30,879 Speaker 4: bother us, But for some reason he changed his mind 306 00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:34,600 Speaker 4: and went out to meet them. He couldn't believe it. 307 00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:38,760 Speaker 4: It was his brothers. You would think that Joseph would 308 00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:42,159 Speaker 4: want to get revenge. The truth is he was so 309 00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:46,840 Speaker 4: grateful to see them. He was overwhelmed with emotion. They 310 00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:50,919 Speaker 4: didn't recognize him. Eventually he told them who he was 311 00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:55,040 Speaker 4: and they all wept together. He asked them if their 312 00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:59,440 Speaker 4: father was still alive. They said that he was. All 313 00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:03,960 Speaker 4: those year years Joseph spent working on other people's problems, 314 00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:07,600 Speaker 4: doing the right thing, even when it wasn't fair. That 315 00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:13,320 Speaker 4: whole time, God was watching. God sees your faithfulness. He 316 00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:17,480 Speaker 4: sees you helping others when you need help. He sees 317 00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:21,560 Speaker 4: you encouraging that friend when you need encouragement, praying for 318 00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:25,320 Speaker 4: that neighbor that's not well. When you're fighting in illness, 319 00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:29,400 Speaker 4: may seem like nothing is happening, but God is working. 320 00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:33,640 Speaker 4: What you can't see is the camels are being loaded up. 321 00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:37,959 Speaker 4: What you thought would never happen is still on the way. 322 00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:43,320 Speaker 4: Joseph's father and whole family came to Egypt to live 323 00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:48,240 Speaker 4: with Joseph. His father thought that Joseph was dead. Joseph 324 00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:51,680 Speaker 4: thought that his father had already passed. Now the two 325 00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:56,280 Speaker 4: of them are embracing, weeping. It's a dream come true. 326 00:20:56,680 --> 00:21:01,200 Speaker 4: Joseph's problem is finally solved. It didn't happen the way 327 00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:04,919 Speaker 4: Joseph thought. He didn't go back home to Israel, but 328 00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:08,600 Speaker 4: his family came to Egypt. They were able to enjoy 329 00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:12,360 Speaker 4: all the blessings and honor that God had given Joseph. 330 00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:16,200 Speaker 4: But none of this would have happened if Joseph would 331 00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:20,240 Speaker 4: have lived in grown. Not gonna help this man Potiphar, 332 00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:24,400 Speaker 4: got my own problems. Not gonna help these prisoners. They've 333 00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:28,240 Speaker 4: never done anything for me. Not gonna interpret the Pharaoh's dream, 334 00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:31,840 Speaker 4: use my expertise to run the food supply. They need 335 00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:36,320 Speaker 4: to do something for me. Joseph understood this principle. When 336 00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:40,239 Speaker 4: you're working on someone else's problem, God is working on 337 00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:44,679 Speaker 4: your problem. It may seem like you could never get well, 338 00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:49,320 Speaker 4: never break the addiction, never accomplish your dream. It's been 339 00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:53,240 Speaker 4: too long. But if you'll do like Joseph and just 340 00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:57,159 Speaker 4: keep being good to people, keep helping solve their problems, 341 00:21:57,359 --> 00:22:00,600 Speaker 4: keep helping their dreams come to pass, what you can't 342 00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:05,320 Speaker 4: see is the camels are coming. What God started, He's 343 00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:09,080 Speaker 4: going to finish. It's going to surprise you. There's going 344 00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:11,840 Speaker 4: to be a knock at the door. You didn't see 345 00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:16,560 Speaker 4: it coming, Like when Joseph's brothers showed up unexpectedly. Healing 346 00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:21,800 Speaker 4: is going to come to you unexpectedly, freedom from addictions, unexpectedly. 347 00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:26,560 Speaker 4: Suddenly the right person finds you, Suddenly that door of 348 00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:30,760 Speaker 4: opportunity opens. You thought it was too late, But the 349 00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:34,879 Speaker 4: whole time you were helping others, the camels were en route. 350 00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:40,240 Speaker 4: God has not forgotten about you. Those seeds you've sown 351 00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:44,520 Speaker 4: have not gone unnoticed. Those times you've come to church, 352 00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:48,679 Speaker 4: served in the kids ministry while you had problems at home, 353 00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:52,440 Speaker 4: Those times you've sung in the choir, ushered, prayed for 354 00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:55,639 Speaker 4: others when you were fighting in illness. You could have 355 00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:58,480 Speaker 4: stayed home. God, when you do something for me, then 356 00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:01,360 Speaker 4: all be my best. But you kept being your best, 357 00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:05,800 Speaker 4: kept making sacrifices to help others, giving away what you 358 00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:09,800 Speaker 4: really needed for your dreams. Get ready for some surprises. 359 00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:12,760 Speaker 4: Get ready for God to show out in your life. 360 00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:16,760 Speaker 4: Get ready for something that you haven't seen. It's going 361 00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:20,760 Speaker 4: to be unusual, uncommon, and He's going to thrust you 362 00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:24,480 Speaker 4: into your destiny. When I worked for my father here 363 00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:29,399 Speaker 4: those seventeen years doing the television production, my goal was 364 00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:32,080 Speaker 4: to make my father look the best that I could. 365 00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:35,240 Speaker 4: When I started, I didn't have a lot of experience, 366 00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:40,119 Speaker 4: so I found the best lighting consultants, the best camera people. 367 00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:43,680 Speaker 4: The first year, we hired an older gentleman that used 368 00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:47,240 Speaker 4: to produce the Today Show. I was with him every minute. 369 00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:50,560 Speaker 4: He trained me how to put the program together. I 370 00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:54,359 Speaker 4: would spend hours trying to improve the lighting and making 371 00:23:54,359 --> 00:23:57,560 Speaker 4: sure the platform looked the best that it possibly could. 372 00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:02,160 Speaker 4: At one point, we were going to remodeled the platform area. 373 00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:05,000 Speaker 4: We had some top designers come in to help us, 374 00:24:05,040 --> 00:24:08,119 Speaker 4: and we were going to make a new podium as well, 375 00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:12,439 Speaker 4: so I had them mock up a temporary podium just 376 00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:14,879 Speaker 4: so we could check the size and see how it 377 00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:17,680 Speaker 4: fit my father. I had him come down and he 378 00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:20,440 Speaker 4: stood behind it and we looked at it on camera 379 00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:24,360 Speaker 4: and made several adjustments. I wanted it to fit him 380 00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:27,480 Speaker 4: just right. I wanted the stage area to be as 381 00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:31,840 Speaker 4: perfect as can be. When we finished the remodel, it 382 00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:35,920 Speaker 4: looked so beautiful on camera. I was so proud. It 383 00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:40,440 Speaker 4: made my father shine. A year later, my father went 384 00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:43,920 Speaker 4: to be with the Lord. I never dreamed one day 385 00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:47,439 Speaker 4: I would be standing behind that podium. One day I 386 00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:51,320 Speaker 4: would be the one on that beautiful platform. I thought 387 00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:54,560 Speaker 4: I was building it for my father. Really I was 388 00:24:54,600 --> 00:25:00,000 Speaker 4: building it for me. When you're helping other people few things, 389 00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:03,919 Speaker 4: you're doing them a favor. Really you're doing yourself a favor. 390 00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:07,919 Speaker 4: As you help someone else shine. God is going to 391 00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:11,440 Speaker 4: make sure that you shine. As you help others come 392 00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:14,399 Speaker 4: up higher, God will cause you to come up higher. 393 00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:18,840 Speaker 4: That's a seed you're sewing for where you're going. My friends, 394 00:25:18,920 --> 00:25:22,720 Speaker 4: Robin Laura Coke pastor a great church in Austin, Texas. 395 00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:27,320 Speaker 4: Years ago, their sixteen year old son was killed in 396 00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:31,879 Speaker 4: an automobile accident. It wasn't easy, but they didn't get bitter. 397 00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:35,520 Speaker 4: They didn't give up on life. They kept moving forward. 398 00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:40,080 Speaker 4: Eventually they started a charity in his name called the 399 00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:45,920 Speaker 4: Caleb Foundation. They built hospitals, schools, orphanages, done great work 400 00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:50,120 Speaker 4: all over the world. At one of their orphanages in Haiti, 401 00:25:50,480 --> 00:25:54,040 Speaker 4: called Caleb's House, some young men grew up there and 402 00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:57,400 Speaker 4: were about to graduate from high school. They were going 403 00:25:57,440 --> 00:25:59,840 Speaker 4: to bring a few of them to Austin to be 404 00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:03,280 Speaker 4: interns at their church. One of those young men that 405 00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:08,560 Speaker 4: came noticed Rob and Lorda's daughter. They started dating ended 406 00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:12,040 Speaker 4: up falling in love. Now a few years ago, their 407 00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:15,600 Speaker 4: daughter married the young man that grew up in the 408 00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:19,439 Speaker 4: orphanage that they started in Haiti. All birthed out of 409 00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:22,520 Speaker 4: the loss of their son. But what if Rob and 410 00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:26,360 Speaker 4: Laura wouldn't have reached out to help others in their 411 00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:29,600 Speaker 4: time of need. They could have been better, We're not 412 00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:33,160 Speaker 4: gonna help somebody. We lost our son. We're in pain. 413 00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:37,400 Speaker 4: Somebody needs to help us. Instead, their attitude was, yes, 414 00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:41,160 Speaker 4: we're hurting, but God, we know when we help others, 415 00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:44,080 Speaker 4: you will help us. We know when we work on 416 00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:47,960 Speaker 4: their problems, you'll work on our problems. They started sowing 417 00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:52,600 Speaker 4: all these seeds, taking care of orphans, giving an education 418 00:26:52,760 --> 00:26:56,679 Speaker 4: to the less fortunate, being good to people without expecting 419 00:26:56,760 --> 00:27:01,200 Speaker 4: anything in return. When they built that orphanage in Haiti, 420 00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:04,920 Speaker 4: they never dreamed their son in law would grow up there. 421 00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:09,000 Speaker 4: They never dreamed he would marry their daughter and become 422 00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:13,320 Speaker 4: a part of their family. When you're helping others, you 423 00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:16,560 Speaker 4: think you're just doing good for them, but you don't 424 00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:19,680 Speaker 4: know what God is up to. You can't be good 425 00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:23,159 Speaker 4: to others without God being good back to you. You 426 00:27:23,240 --> 00:27:27,040 Speaker 4: don't know the favor and blessings that are connected to 427 00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:31,960 Speaker 4: you helping others rise higher. I wonder how much we 428 00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:36,000 Speaker 4: miss by living in grown. We only focus on what 429 00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:38,440 Speaker 4: we lost and how we've been hurt. And God, I've 430 00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:41,360 Speaker 4: got this big problem. You've got to help me. Go 431 00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:45,480 Speaker 4: be a blessing. Your miracle is waiting for you as 432 00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:49,320 Speaker 4: you help others. Sometimes the reason you can't solve your 433 00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:53,600 Speaker 4: problem is because what you need is found in solving 434 00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:59,280 Speaker 4: someone else's problem. As you help them succeed, Like with Robin, Laura, 435 00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:02,520 Speaker 4: your son in law will show up. Things will happen 436 00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:05,760 Speaker 4: that you weren't expecting. Now, I know many of you 437 00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:08,560 Speaker 4: have been doing this, going out of your way to 438 00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:13,000 Speaker 4: be good to others, making sacrifices to help solve their problems. 439 00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:17,199 Speaker 4: Get ready, the camels are coming.

It's going to be 443 00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:33,800 Speaker 4: more than you can imagine.

Would you pray with me? 450 00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:54,920 Speaker 4: Just say, Lord, Jesus, I repent of my sins. Come 451 00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:58,720 Speaker 4: into my heart. I make you my Lord and savior. 452 00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:02,840 Speaker 4: If you prayed that simple prayer, we believe you got 453 00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:06,360 Speaker 4: born again.
