They had been arguing. Now 46 00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:11,919 Speaker 4: they were giving each other the silent treatment. The next morning, 47 00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:14,160 Speaker 4: the man had to get up early and catch a plane. 48 00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:17,359 Speaker 4: He needed his wife to wake him up. Not wanting 49 00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:20,079 Speaker 4: to break the silence, he left a note on her 50 00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:23,040 Speaker 4: side of the bed that said, please wake me up 51 00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:25,960 Speaker 4: at five am. He got up the next morning at 52 00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:28,960 Speaker 4: eight o'clock missed his flight. He was so upset he 53 00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:31,079 Speaker 4: went in to find out why she didn't wake him up. 54 00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:33,160 Speaker 4: There was a note on his side of the bed. 55 00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:37,760 Speaker 4: It said, wake up, it's five. Say it like you 56 00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:40,800 Speaker 4: mean it. This is my Bible. I am what it 57 00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:43,280 Speaker 4: says I am. I have what it says I have. 58 00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:46,400 Speaker 4: I can do what it says I can do. Today 59 00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:49,919 Speaker 4: I will be taught the word of God. I boldly confess. 60 00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:53,880 Speaker 4: My mind is alert, my heart is receptive. I will 61 00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:57,799 Speaker 4: never be the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you. 62 00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:01,160 Speaker 4: I want to talk to you to day about the 63 00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:06,400 Speaker 4: promise is coming. We all have things we're believing for dreams. 64 00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:10,040 Speaker 4: God put in our heart, problems to turn around. But 65 00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:13,880 Speaker 4: when it's been so long, we've made mistakes. People have 66 00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:18,040 Speaker 4: come against us. All the circumstances say, if it was 67 00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:21,480 Speaker 4: going to happen, it would have happened. By now. It's 68 00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:24,880 Speaker 4: easy to get discouraged and accept that it's never going 69 00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:29,240 Speaker 4: to work out. But what God promised you doesn't have 70 00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:33,840 Speaker 4: an expiration date. Just because you've given up on it 71 00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:36,840 Speaker 4: doesn't mean that God has given up. You may have 72 00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:40,200 Speaker 4: done things that should keep your dream from coming to pass. 73 00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:44,200 Speaker 4: You got off course, you don't deserve it. But God 74 00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:48,640 Speaker 4: is so merciful He's already taken your mistakes into account. 75 00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:52,720 Speaker 4: You may have delayed it from happening, but you haven't 76 00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:57,320 Speaker 4: denied it from happening. The promise is still coming. God 77 00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:02,600 Speaker 4: is saying, despite your mistakes, despite the failures, despite the delays, 78 00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:05,720 Speaker 4: I'm still going to bless you. I'm still going to 79 00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:08,960 Speaker 4: heal you. I'm still going to bring that dream to pass. 80 00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:14,320 Speaker 4: But too often we disqualify ourselves. We think it would 81 00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:17,560 Speaker 4: have happened if I'd have made better choices, if I'd 82 00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:21,080 Speaker 4: finished school, if I'd got involved with the wrong crowd, 83 00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:24,760 Speaker 4: if I'd not wasted those years compromising, then God would 84 00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:28,400 Speaker 4: bless me, then he would open up new doors. That 85 00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:32,120 Speaker 4: would be true if God was like us, if he 86 00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:35,360 Speaker 4: judged us based on our performance and gave us what 87 00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:39,560 Speaker 4: we deserved. But God is not like people. He is 88 00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:44,159 Speaker 4: full of mercy. He doesn't hold our mistakes against us. 89 00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:48,280 Speaker 4: He doesn't cancel our destiny because we got off course. 90 00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:53,400 Speaker 4: God already knew every wrong turn we would take, every 91 00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:58,599 Speaker 4: mistake we would make, every failure, every weakness. Nothing you've 92 00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:02,560 Speaker 4: done is a surprise God. Nothing that's happened to you 93 00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:05,840 Speaker 4: has caught him off guard. And the good news is 94 00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:11,440 Speaker 4: God has mercy for every mistake, restoration for every failure, 95 00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:16,440 Speaker 4: a new beginning for every loss, a comeback for every setback. 96 00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:20,640 Speaker 4: What He's promised you is still on the way. You 97 00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:24,200 Speaker 4: didn't miss your chance. You haven't failed too many times. 98 00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:28,920 Speaker 4: That disappointment didn't stop God's plan. He's still going to 99 00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:33,960 Speaker 4: show you favor. May seem unlikely. The medical report says, 100 00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:37,080 Speaker 4: learn to live with the sickness. It will never change. 101 00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:41,880 Speaker 4: It's permanent. God says, healing is coming, Wholeness is coming. 102 00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:45,560 Speaker 4: I will restore health back into you. You may not 103 00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:49,120 Speaker 4: see how you could ever get out of debt. Nobody 104 00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:52,320 Speaker 4: in your family has excelled. You can be the first. 105 00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:56,920 Speaker 4: God is saying increase is coming. You will lend and 106 00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:00,560 Speaker 4: not borrow. What you touch, will prosper and succes see 107 00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:04,040 Speaker 4: well Joel, I'm the one that got me into this mess. 108 00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:07,400 Speaker 4: It's my own fault. God is the one that's going 109 00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:10,479 Speaker 4: to bring you out of that mess. Quit believe in 110 00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:13,520 Speaker 4: the lies that it is too late. The problem is 111 00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:17,679 Speaker 4: too big. You've made too many mistakes. God is called 112 00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:22,240 Speaker 4: the author and the finisher of your faith. What he started, 113 00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:26,360 Speaker 4: he's going to finish. The delay doesn't mean it's not 114 00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:30,719 Speaker 4: going to happen. Your mistakes haven't caused God to change 115 00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:35,360 Speaker 4: his mind. And the circumstances may look impossible, but God 116 00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:38,880 Speaker 4: hasn't run out of options. You may not see a way. 117 00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:44,239 Speaker 4: That's because we're natural. God is supernatural. He has ways 118 00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:48,440 Speaker 4: we've never thought of. He's not limited by your job, 119 00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:52,159 Speaker 4: by your salary, by medical report, by what you didn't get. 120 00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:55,520 Speaker 4: One touch of his favor will catapult you to the 121 00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:59,440 Speaker 4: next level. One good break, and what he promised you 122 00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:04,080 Speaker 4: will come to pass. In the Scripture, God told Abraham 123 00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:06,479 Speaker 4: that he and his wife Sarah were going to have 124 00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:10,600 Speaker 4: a baby. Abraham was seventy five years old, Sarah was 125 00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:14,200 Speaker 4: sixty five. They had been married many years and not 126 00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:18,800 Speaker 4: had any children. This seemed impossible. They were way too old. 127 00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:23,960 Speaker 4: Sometimes God will put promises in your heart that don't 128 00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:27,360 Speaker 4: make sense to your mind. He'll put bigger things in 129 00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:31,240 Speaker 4: your spirit than you can accomplish on your own. The 130 00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:34,920 Speaker 4: key is to let the seed take root. You don't 131 00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:37,360 Speaker 4: have to figure out how it's going to happen. All 132 00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:40,800 Speaker 4: you have to do is believe. Well, years went by 133 00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:43,760 Speaker 4: and they didn't see any sign of a baby, so 134 00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:47,600 Speaker 4: they tried to help God out. Sarah told Abraham to 135 00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:51,880 Speaker 4: sleep with her maid, Hagar. They had a son that 136 00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:56,320 Speaker 4: they named Ishmael, but he wasn't the promised child. That's 137 00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:59,960 Speaker 4: what the scripture calls works of the flesh, when we 138 00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:02,840 Speaker 4: try to make things happen in our own strength, our 139 00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:06,800 Speaker 4: own timing. And of course they loved Ishmael, but he 140 00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:11,040 Speaker 4: was a constant source of conflict. Sarah got mad at 141 00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:15,080 Speaker 4: Abraham for sleeping with Hagar, even though it was her idea, 142 00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:19,600 Speaker 4: and that brought strife and division. She finally gave Abraham 143 00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:23,600 Speaker 4: an ultimatum, either that lady is leaving or I'm leaving, 144 00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:26,800 Speaker 4: but I am not staying here with Hagar and her son. 145 00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:32,640 Speaker 4: Abraham was torn. He loved his son, Ishmael. Hagar hadn't 146 00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:35,840 Speaker 4: done anything wrong, but he didn't have much of a choice. 147 00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:39,120 Speaker 4: He had to send him out into the desert. Was 148 00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:44,280 Speaker 4: a big mess, all kinds of dysfunction. For thirteen years, 149 00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:49,560 Speaker 4: God was silent. Abraham didn't hear anything. I'm sure thoughts 150 00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:52,920 Speaker 4: told him. You blew it. You made a big mess, 151 00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:56,200 Speaker 4: You had a baby with another woman. Now it's never 152 00:08:56,280 --> 00:09:00,720 Speaker 4: going to happen. But just because God is silent doesn't 153 00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:04,360 Speaker 4: mean he's given up. You may have delayed it, but 154 00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:08,640 Speaker 4: you didn't deny it. God hasn't changed his mind. Will 155 00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:12,800 Speaker 4: you trust him in the seasons of silence when every 156 00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:15,800 Speaker 4: voice tells you it's never going to happen, it's your 157 00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:20,320 Speaker 4: own fault. You knew better. You may not see anything happening. 158 00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:23,760 Speaker 4: But God is still working. What he promised you is 159 00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:28,439 Speaker 4: still on the way. After thirteen years of silence, when 160 00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:33,840 Speaker 4: Abraham was ninety nine, Genesis seventeen says God said to Abraham, 161 00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:38,160 Speaker 4: I am the Lord God Almighty. You will become a 162 00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:44,160 Speaker 4: father of many nations. After all his mistakes, all the failures, 163 00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:48,120 Speaker 4: all the dysfunction, the first thing God said to him 164 00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:51,400 Speaker 4: is you will become a father. He reminded him of 165 00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:55,280 Speaker 4: the promise. He was saying, Abraham, even though you blew it, 166 00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:58,920 Speaker 4: even though you made a big mess, that didn't stop 167 00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:02,679 Speaker 4: my plan. I didn't change my mind. I'm still going 168 00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:06,040 Speaker 4: to do what I said. You would think the first 169 00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:09,880 Speaker 4: thing God would say was Abraham, I'm disappointed in you. 170 00:10:10,440 --> 00:10:13,360 Speaker 4: What were you thinking? I'm going to find somebody else 171 00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:17,440 Speaker 4: to accomplish your destiny. But God never gives up on you. 172 00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:24,240 Speaker 4: He never disqualifies you. Now quit disqualifying yourself. You blew it. 173 00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:28,960 Speaker 4: Joined the crowd. We all have you made a big mistake, Well, 174 00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:32,720 Speaker 4: come on in. You're in good company. The enemy is 175 00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:36,800 Speaker 4: called the accuser of the brethren. He'll remind you of 176 00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:41,120 Speaker 4: everything you've done wrong, every mistake you'd made. He'd love 177 00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:44,840 Speaker 4: for you to go through life down on yourself. No dreams, 178 00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:49,680 Speaker 4: no passion, no expectancy. Don't fall into that trap. At 179 00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:54,600 Speaker 4: ninety years old, Sarah conceived and gave birth to a son. 180 00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:58,680 Speaker 4: They named him Isaac. He was the promised child. The 181 00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:03,120 Speaker 4: scripture says it happened at the exact time God said 182 00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:07,440 Speaker 4: it would. That tells me God already knew they would 183 00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:10,959 Speaker 4: make those mistakes. He already knew they would be impatient, 184 00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:15,240 Speaker 4: have the first son and get into strife. Isaac was 185 00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:19,200 Speaker 4: born right on schedule right when God had it planned. 186 00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:23,600 Speaker 4: Are you believing lies that you missed your chance? You 187 00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:27,320 Speaker 4: made too many poor choices. If you'd have been more disciplined, 188 00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:31,040 Speaker 4: not hung around those people that pulled you down. God 189 00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:35,400 Speaker 4: already knew about that. What he promised you is right 190 00:11:35,520 --> 00:11:38,760 Speaker 4: on schedule. You didn't miss it is still in your future. 191 00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:42,760 Speaker 4: I talked to an older gentleman. He had struggled most 192 00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:46,560 Speaker 4: of his life with drugs and alcohol. He was raised 193 00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:49,840 Speaker 4: in a good family with a single parent mother. They 194 00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:52,440 Speaker 4: were in a rough environment and he got involved with 195 00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:56,360 Speaker 4: the wrong crowd. He'd gone to rehab again and again 196 00:11:56,520 --> 00:11:58,920 Speaker 4: through the years, and it worked for a little while, 197 00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:03,120 Speaker 4: but he would always fall back. His own thoughts not 198 00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:06,800 Speaker 4: only told him how bad he was, but people around 199 00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:10,800 Speaker 4: him were constantly putting him down, making him feel like 200 00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:14,280 Speaker 4: a failure. He was so down on himself he didn't 201 00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:19,480 Speaker 4: really want to live. He started watching our program, He said, Joel. 202 00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:23,520 Speaker 4: Everybody told me how bad I was, how was a failure, 203 00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:26,679 Speaker 4: How I hadn't made anything out of my life. But 204 00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:29,160 Speaker 4: you were the first one to tell me how good 205 00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:32,440 Speaker 4: I was, and how was made in the image of God. 206 00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:35,920 Speaker 4: He didn't have anyone to speak faith into him and 207 00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:39,480 Speaker 4: tell him what he could become. When he heard me 208 00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:42,800 Speaker 4: say you are a child of the Most High God, 209 00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:46,680 Speaker 4: something came alive on the inside. He got down on 210 00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:50,400 Speaker 4: his knees, said, God, I made a mess of my life. 211 00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:53,320 Speaker 4: Tried to clean it up on my own. But I 212 00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:58,280 Speaker 4: can't do this by myself. God, please help me to change. 213 00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:01,760 Speaker 4: From that moment on, you never had another desire for 214 00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:07,080 Speaker 4: the drugs. He never touched the alcohol again. Today he 215 00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:11,720 Speaker 4: works in the prisons encouraging the inmates that they too 216 00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:15,560 Speaker 4: are a child of the Most High God. Now, you 217 00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:19,680 Speaker 4: may have failed, but you are not a failure. Failure 218 00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:23,199 Speaker 4: is an event, it's not who you are. You may 219 00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:26,480 Speaker 4: have an addiction, but you are not an addict. That's 220 00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:29,839 Speaker 4: what you struggle with. That's not who you are. What 221 00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:34,240 Speaker 4: you do may not always be good, but you are good. 222 00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:38,960 Speaker 4: The creator of the universe breathe life into you like 223 00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:41,840 Speaker 4: this man. You may have gotten off course, you may 224 00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:44,800 Speaker 4: have brought the trouble on yourself, but God is saying, 225 00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:48,160 Speaker 4: I'm still going to bless you. I'm still going to 226 00:13:48,200 --> 00:13:51,480 Speaker 4: free you. I'm still going to use you to help others. 227 00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:56,480 Speaker 4: You're still going to fulfill your destiny. Jesus said, you're 228 00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:59,800 Speaker 4: blessed when you're at the end of your rope with 229 00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:04,120 Speaker 4: less of you. There's war of God and his room. 230 00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:09,079 Speaker 4: His rule means his favor, his healing, his freedom. Abraham 231 00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:11,440 Speaker 4: was at the end of his rope, no way in 232 00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:15,480 Speaker 4: the natural. But God showed up and gave him a baby. 233 00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:18,600 Speaker 4: This man was at the end of his rope, addicted 234 00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:23,040 Speaker 4: for years. God showed up and brought freedom. You may 235 00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:26,760 Speaker 4: be in a situation that doesn't look good your health, 236 00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:30,640 Speaker 4: your finances or relationship. A business looks like at the 237 00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:33,440 Speaker 4: end you don't see how it can ever work out. 238 00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:37,720 Speaker 4: Have a new perspective when you're at the end. In 239 00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:41,600 Speaker 4: a sense, it's a blessing in disguise. You're in prime 240 00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:45,800 Speaker 4: position for God to show out in your life. God 241 00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:49,280 Speaker 4: is saying to you what he said to Abraham. I 242 00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:53,560 Speaker 4: am the Lord God Almighty. What I promised you is 243 00:14:53,600 --> 00:14:56,920 Speaker 4: still on the way. Those dreams you've given up on, 244 00:14:57,320 --> 00:15:00,920 Speaker 4: they're on the way. That healing your prayer, it's on 245 00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:04,640 Speaker 4: the way. That baby you're believing for is on the way. 246 00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:10,760 Speaker 4: Instead of going around down on yourself, discourage, turn it around. Father, 247 00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:15,200 Speaker 4: Thank you that you are almighty God that your mercy 248 00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:19,040 Speaker 4: is bigger than my mistakes. You're more powerful than this addiction. 249 00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:22,360 Speaker 4: You're greater than this sickness. I may be in a 250 00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:26,080 Speaker 4: season of silence. I don't see anything happening right now, 251 00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:29,760 Speaker 4: But God, I know you are working behind the scenes. 252 00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:33,920 Speaker 4: What you promised me is still right on schedule. Think 253 00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:37,200 Speaker 4: about Abraham ninety nine years old. He didn't have the 254 00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:42,600 Speaker 4: seed to have a baby. Even if Sarah could somehow conceive, 255 00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:46,720 Speaker 4: even if her wound became fertile, it wouldn't happen without 256 00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:49,760 Speaker 4: the seed. He could have thought, God, I could believe 257 00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:52,280 Speaker 4: we could have a baby if I had the seed. 258 00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:55,520 Speaker 4: But the problem is I don't have what I need. 259 00:15:55,920 --> 00:15:59,960 Speaker 4: I'm lacking. You may feel like you're lacking in some area, 260 00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:06,000 Speaker 4: lacking talent, lacking finances, lacking support. But God knows what 261 00:16:06,080 --> 00:16:09,280 Speaker 4: you don't have. He knows what's in your bank account, 262 00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:12,480 Speaker 4: he knows who's not for you, he knows what the 263 00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:16,280 Speaker 4: medical report says. The good news is God is going 264 00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:19,120 Speaker 4: to make up for what you don't have. He's going 265 00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:22,400 Speaker 4: to give you the seed. That's what he did for Abraham. 266 00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:26,600 Speaker 4: Little Isaac was born. But it's interesting God could have 267 00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:29,560 Speaker 4: caused Abraham to have a baby when he was younger, 268 00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:33,920 Speaker 4: when he had the natural ability. But God waited till 269 00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:38,200 Speaker 4: he ran out of the seed. And sometimes on purpose, 270 00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:41,440 Speaker 4: God will let you run out of what you need, 271 00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:44,760 Speaker 4: so you'll have to depend on him where your only 272 00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:47,800 Speaker 4: option is God. If you don't do this, it's not 273 00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:50,880 Speaker 4: going to happen. If you don't turn my child around, 274 00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:54,200 Speaker 4: if you don't open this door, if you don't heal 275 00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:57,720 Speaker 4: my body, God that I'm done. That's what Jesus said. 276 00:16:57,800 --> 00:17:00,880 Speaker 4: When you come to the end of your ability, then 277 00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:03,800 Speaker 4: there's room for God's favor. There's room for him to 278 00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:07,439 Speaker 4: show out in your life. If Abraham were here today, 279 00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:11,720 Speaker 4: he would tell you, don't let the circumstances fool you. 280 00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:14,720 Speaker 4: Don't let what you don't have talk you out of it. 281 00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:19,680 Speaker 4: Don't let your mistakes, your failures, the delays, the seasons 282 00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:23,240 Speaker 4: of silence convince you that it's never going to happen. 283 00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:27,520 Speaker 4: The Lord God Almighty is about to do for you 284 00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:30,719 Speaker 4: what he did for Abraham. He's going to bless you 285 00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:34,199 Speaker 4: in spite of your mistakes. He's going to promote you 286 00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:37,760 Speaker 4: in spite of the odds being against you. He's going 287 00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:41,160 Speaker 4: to make things happen that you didn't deserve. You didn't 288 00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:43,639 Speaker 4: work for it, you didn't earn it. It's just the 289 00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:48,400 Speaker 4: goodness of God. Years ago, this business venture came across 290 00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:52,400 Speaker 4: my path. It seemed like a once in a lifetime opportunity. 291 00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:55,800 Speaker 4: I was so excited. I didn't have to pray about it. 292 00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:58,520 Speaker 4: I didn't have to think twice. I just said yes 293 00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:03,000 Speaker 4: the way. As we researched it more and talked with 294 00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:07,159 Speaker 4: a few experts, there were several red flags and things 295 00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:10,240 Speaker 4: that didn't pan out, but I was so set in 296 00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:13,720 Speaker 4: having it my way. I ignored it, didn't pay it 297 00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:17,280 Speaker 4: any attention. We signed a contract and got it up 298 00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:21,280 Speaker 4: and going, but it wasn't what I thought. Didn't take 299 00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:24,800 Speaker 4: off the way we had planned. There were some restrictions 300 00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:29,120 Speaker 4: and limitations that we didn't realize. It was a constant struggle, 301 00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:32,760 Speaker 4: a burden financially. We didn't know how it was going 302 00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:35,919 Speaker 4: to turn out. I had this huge obligation. I was 303 00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:39,760 Speaker 4: over my head and it was nobody's fault except my own. 304 00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:43,800 Speaker 4: I knew God had put big things in my heart, 305 00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:47,920 Speaker 4: but like Abraham, I was impatient. I tried to make 306 00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:52,480 Speaker 4: it happen in my own strength. Nasaalmis said, the Israelites 307 00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:57,280 Speaker 4: did not wait for God's plan to unfhone. It's easy 308 00:18:57,280 --> 00:18:59,760 Speaker 4: to get in a hurrying try to force doors to 309 00:18:59,840 --> 00:19:04,080 Speaker 4: own open, try to manipulate people. If you push hard enough, 310 00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:08,280 Speaker 4: sometimes God will let you open a door that he 311 00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:11,840 Speaker 4: hasn't ordained. He'll let you go down a road that's 312 00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:15,720 Speaker 4: not his best path. And I'm all for taking risks 313 00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:19,439 Speaker 4: getting out of our comfort zones, but it's important to 314 00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:23,800 Speaker 4: stay in God's timing. Listen to that still small voice 315 00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:27,880 Speaker 4: on the inside. That opportunity may be right for you, 316 00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:31,320 Speaker 4: but when you feel the unrest, it may be it's 317 00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:35,239 Speaker 4: just not the right time. Abraham knew God promised him 318 00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:38,520 Speaker 4: a baby, but what it didn't happen on his timetable 319 00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:41,520 Speaker 4: as fast as he thought it should. That's when they 320 00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:45,399 Speaker 4: tried to help God out for this business venture of 321 00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:49,760 Speaker 4: mine never did take off. But here's how amazing God is. 322 00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:53,720 Speaker 4: Even though I made the mess, even though I overrode 323 00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:57,480 Speaker 4: what I was feeling, brought the trouble on myself, God 324 00:19:57,640 --> 00:20:01,760 Speaker 4: supernaturally turned it around. We came out of it much 325 00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:04,840 Speaker 4: better than we went into it. It ended up being 326 00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:08,159 Speaker 4: a huge blessing. What am I saying, God took my 327 00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:12,760 Speaker 4: mistake and turned it into a miracle. That's the mercy 328 00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:16,280 Speaker 4: of God. When we don't deserve it. We got our course, 329 00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:19,680 Speaker 4: we got in a hurry. God says, I'm still going 330 00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:23,000 Speaker 4: to bless you. I'm still going to favor you. I'm 331 00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:25,679 Speaker 4: still going to get you to where you're supposed to be. 332 00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:29,840 Speaker 4: Quit believe in those lies that you can't accomplish your dreams. 333 00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:32,719 Speaker 4: Look what you've done. You'll never meet the right person, 334 00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:35,920 Speaker 4: never get out of debt. You've made too many poor choices. 335 00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:40,159 Speaker 4: What God promised you is still on the way. You 336 00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:43,640 Speaker 4: may have delayed it, but you didn't deny it. It's 337 00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:48,600 Speaker 4: still on the schedule. Start believing again, Start dreaming again, 338 00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:52,280 Speaker 4: Start making plans for what you've given up on. I 339 00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:54,359 Speaker 4: met a couple that had been trying to have a 340 00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:58,359 Speaker 4: baby for eleven years. They came down for prayer and 341 00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:01,639 Speaker 4: the young lady was weeping and weeping. She wanted a 342 00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:05,560 Speaker 4: baby so badly, but all the medical reports said there 343 00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:09,359 Speaker 4: was no way. She had taken the fertility treatments, they'd 344 00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:12,680 Speaker 4: done everything they could in the natural with no success. 345 00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:17,560 Speaker 4: But against all odds, the young lady conceived They came 346 00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:23,040 Speaker 4: back last week to dedicate their beautiful baby daughter. Medically speaking, 347 00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:28,160 Speaker 4: it was impossible. But when the Lord God Almighty shows up, 348 00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:33,159 Speaker 4: what's impossible becomes possible. What He's destined for your life 349 00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:36,400 Speaker 4: will come to pass. The last time I saw her, 350 00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:41,880 Speaker 4: years before, she was weeping with tears of sadness, so heartbroken. 351 00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:45,639 Speaker 4: This time she was weeping with tears of joy, so 352 00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:50,000 Speaker 4: overwhelmed at God's goodness. You may have shed some tears 353 00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:53,720 Speaker 4: of sadness over what hasn't worked out, dreams that haven't 354 00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:57,840 Speaker 4: come to pass, disappointments, loss that you've been through. Like 355 00:21:57,920 --> 00:22:00,720 Speaker 4: with her, God is going to turn you your mourning 356 00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:04,720 Speaker 4: into dancing, those tears of sadness into tears of joy. 357 00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:08,440 Speaker 4: May not have happened yet, but it's not over. God 358 00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:12,800 Speaker 4: has the final say. The Psalmist said, weeping may endure 359 00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:16,520 Speaker 4: for a night, but joy comes in the morning. Your 360 00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:20,879 Speaker 4: mourning is coming, your baby is coming, your healing is coming, 361 00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:25,320 Speaker 4: your spouse is coming, Your breakthrough is coming. When it happens, 362 00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:29,000 Speaker 4: it's going to be more rewarding, more fulfilling, better than 363 00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:34,560 Speaker 4: you've ever imagined. Moses was born into a Hebrew family, 364 00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:38,359 Speaker 4: but he was raised by Egyptians. As a young man, 365 00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:41,280 Speaker 4: God gave him a dream that he would deliver the 366 00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:45,280 Speaker 4: Israelites out of slavery in Egypt. One day, he saw 367 00:22:45,320 --> 00:22:49,600 Speaker 4: an Egyptian foreman mistreating a Hebrew slave. He didn't think 368 00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:53,720 Speaker 4: anyone was watching. He killed the man. He had good intentions, 369 00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:56,680 Speaker 4: but he got out of God's timing. He didn't wait 370 00:22:56,720 --> 00:23:00,440 Speaker 4: for the plan to unfold. Someone saw him. He had 371 00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:03,959 Speaker 4: to run for his life. He spent forty years on 372 00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:07,359 Speaker 4: the back side of the desert in hiding. Here he 373 00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:10,280 Speaker 4: had this calling on his life. He knew what God 374 00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:13,080 Speaker 4: had spoken to him, but he blew it. It was 375 00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:17,399 Speaker 4: his fault. I'm sure he lived in regrets. There weren't 376 00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:20,400 Speaker 4: many days went by that he didn't think about that mistake. 377 00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:23,480 Speaker 4: Why didn't I keep my cool? Why didn't I use 378 00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:27,920 Speaker 4: better judgment? It looked like that had canceled out the promise. 379 00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:33,440 Speaker 4: But God doesn't change his mind. Our mistakes may delay them, 380 00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:37,919 Speaker 4: but even then God uses the delays, the setbacks to 381 00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:42,840 Speaker 4: develop us, to get us prepared. Nothing is wasted. If 382 00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:45,720 Speaker 4: you'll keep the right attitude, all things will work for 383 00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:49,560 Speaker 4: your good. One morning, Moses was out in the desert. 384 00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:55,520 Speaker 4: Everything seemed normal, when suddenly a bush exploded caught fire. 385 00:23:56,160 --> 00:24:00,680 Speaker 4: What made this bush unusual is that it didn't burn up. Intrigued, 386 00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:03,520 Speaker 4: Moses walked over to it see what was going on. 387 00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:08,520 Speaker 4: A voice boomed out, Moses, Moses, take off your sandals. 388 00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:12,520 Speaker 4: You are standing on holy ground. It had been forty 389 00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:16,199 Speaker 4: years since he had heard God's voice, a season of 390 00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:19,720 Speaker 4: silence so long he thought God had forgotten about him. 391 00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:24,439 Speaker 4: He'd already accepted that he couldn't accomplish his destiny. But 392 00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:28,320 Speaker 4: after all his mistakes, after the failures, when he was 393 00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:32,200 Speaker 4: eighty years old, God showed up and say, all right, Moses, 394 00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:35,440 Speaker 4: now I'm ready for you to go deliver the Israelites. 395 00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:39,520 Speaker 4: He went out and did just that. Like Moses, you 396 00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:42,840 Speaker 4: may have made mistakes, you got off course. You don't 397 00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:45,440 Speaker 4: see how you could ever accomplish your dreams. It's been 398 00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:50,040 Speaker 4: too long. But that season of silence doesn't mean God 399 00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:54,040 Speaker 4: has forgotten about you. In the forty years Moses was 400 00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:58,280 Speaker 4: out in the desert, the scripture says, Moses became the 401 00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:02,840 Speaker 4: most humble man in all the land. God is working 402 00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:06,919 Speaker 4: on you in the silent years. You may not realize it, 403 00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:11,160 Speaker 4: but he's getting you prepared your time is coming. Your 404 00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:14,880 Speaker 4: burning bush is on the way. What God started, He's 405 00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:17,800 Speaker 4: going to finish. Even though it may have been your fault, 406 00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:20,479 Speaker 4: He's still going to bless you. He's still going to 407 00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:23,760 Speaker 4: favor you. He's still going to open doors you never 408 00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:27,000 Speaker 4: dreamed would open. I talked to a gentleman. When he 409 00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:30,719 Speaker 4: was seventeen years old. Back in the nineteen sixties, his 410 00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:35,480 Speaker 4: girlfriend became pregnant. Their parents were not happy. They sent 411 00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:38,560 Speaker 4: him off to the Marine Corps. The young lady and 412 00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:42,600 Speaker 4: her family moved to a different state. While in boot camp, 413 00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:45,880 Speaker 4: she informed him that she was giving the baby up 414 00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:49,800 Speaker 4: for adoption. He went over and served overseas and the 415 00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:52,920 Speaker 4: Special Forces. He was hoping when he came back home 416 00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:55,919 Speaker 4: they'd get back together. She sent him a note saying 417 00:25:56,080 --> 00:25:59,720 Speaker 4: she was moving on. They went their separate ways. Fast 418 00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:02,960 Speaker 4: forward to the year two thousand and nine. The man 419 00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:06,000 Speaker 4: had just lost his wife of twenty four years to 420 00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:10,560 Speaker 4: an illness. He was very heartbroken. Three months later, he 421 00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:15,560 Speaker 4: received a sympathy card from his former teenage girlfriend. They 422 00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:19,280 Speaker 4: had not spoken in over forty two years. Her husband 423 00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:22,160 Speaker 4: had just died as well. He was able to find 424 00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:25,240 Speaker 4: her number and call her. They couldn't believe they were 425 00:26:25,280 --> 00:26:28,680 Speaker 4: talking to each other after all that time. She told 426 00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:32,359 Speaker 4: him how she had just located their daughter that they 427 00:26:32,400 --> 00:26:35,359 Speaker 4: had given up for adoption. She lived a few minutes 428 00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:38,680 Speaker 4: from her. He went to see the lady. He met 429 00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:41,760 Speaker 4: his daughter for the first time and his ten year 430 00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:45,720 Speaker 4: old grandson. A dream come true. He and the lady 431 00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:50,080 Speaker 4: started dating. A year later, they were married, with their daughter, 432 00:26:50,560 --> 00:26:53,240 Speaker 4: who they had given up for adoption, as the maid 433 00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:57,280 Speaker 4: of honor. God knows how to take mistakes we've made 434 00:26:57,560 --> 00:27:01,879 Speaker 4: and turned them into miracles. It's not too late. You 435 00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:05,000 Speaker 4: haven't missed your chance. You don't know what God is 436 00:27:05,119 --> 00:27:08,360 Speaker 4: up to. He can make things happen. You never dreamed 437 00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:13,160 Speaker 4: what happened. I'm sure Moses never thought he'd fulfill his destiny. 438 00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:17,600 Speaker 4: Abraham never thought he'd become a father at an old age. 439 00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:21,200 Speaker 4: This man never thought he'd ever meet his daughter, never 440 00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:24,800 Speaker 4: see his family restored. But God is full of mercy 441 00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:28,520 Speaker 4: and full of surprises. There are promises you may have 442 00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:31,760 Speaker 4: given up on, but God has not given up. They're 443 00:27:31,840 --> 00:27:35,080 Speaker 4: still in your future. Don't drag through life thinking you've 444 00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:38,439 Speaker 4: seen your best days. Stir your faith up. The Lord 445 00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:42,800 Speaker 4: God Almighty is at work in your life right now. Now, 446 00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:46,760 Speaker 4: believe and declare what He's promised you is still on 447 00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:50,240 Speaker 4: the way. Healing is on the way, freedom is on 448 00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:52,880 Speaker 4: the way. The right people are on the way. The 449 00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:56,879 Speaker 4: fullness of your destiny in Jesus's name, and if you 450 00:27:56,920 --> 00:28:01,159 Speaker 4: receive it, can you say him in Today? I'd like 451 00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:04,160 Speaker 4: to give you an opportunity to make Jesus the lord 452 00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:08,720 Speaker 4: of your life. Would you pray with me? Just say, Lord, Jesus, 453 00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:14,760 Speaker 4: I repent of my sins. Come into my heart. I 454 00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:18,679 Speaker 4: make you my Lord and savior. If you prayed that 455 00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:22,040 Speaker 4: simple prayer, we believe you got born again. Get in 456 00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:26,160 Speaker 4: a good Bible based church.
