1
00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:03,240
Speaker 1: Hi, this is Joel and Victoria. Thanks for listening to

2
00:00:03,279 --> 00:00:06,400
Speaker 1: our podcast and thanks for supporting the ministry. If you

3
00:00:06,480 --> 00:00:09,080
Speaker 1: enjoy today's message, why don't you be a blessing and

4
00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:11,800
Speaker 1: share it with a friend. We appreciate you and pray

5
00:00:11,840 --> 00:00:16,320
Speaker 1: for God's very best in your life. Well, God bless you.

6
00:00:16,840 --> 00:00:19,240
Speaker 1: It's a joy to come into your homes, and if

7
00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:22,040
Speaker 1: you're ever in our area, please stop buy and be

8
00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:24,880
Speaker 1: a part of one of our services. I promise you

9
00:00:25,079 --> 00:00:27,639
Speaker 1: we'll make you feel right at home. I like to

10
00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:30,320
Speaker 1: start with something funny, and I heard about this husband

11
00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:33,600
Speaker 1: and wife. They had been arguing. Now they were giving

12
00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:36,839
Speaker 1: each other the silent treatment. The next morning, the man

13
00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:39,239
Speaker 1: had to get up early and catch a plane. He

14
00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:42,080
Speaker 1: needed his wife to wake him up. Not wanting to

15
00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:45,040
Speaker 1: break the silence, he left a note on her side

16
00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:47,879
Speaker 1: of the bed that said, please wake me up at

17
00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:50,760
Speaker 1: five am. He got up the next morning at eight

18
00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:53,760
Speaker 1: o'clock missed his flight. He was so upset he went

19
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:55,680
Speaker 1: in to find out why she didn't wake him up.

20
00:00:56,040 --> 00:00:57,800
Speaker 1: There was a note on his side of the bed.

21
00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:02,400
Speaker 1: It said, wake up, it's five. Say it like you

22
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:05,440
Speaker 1: mean it. This is my Bible. I am what it

23
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:07,880
Speaker 1: says I am. I have what it says I have.

24
00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:11,039
Speaker 1: I can do what it says I can do. Today

25
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:14,560
Speaker 1: I will be taught the word of God. I boldly confess.

26
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:18,480
Speaker 1: My mind is alert, my heart is receptive. I will

27
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:22,360
Speaker 1: never be the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you.

28
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:26,320
Speaker 1: I want to talk to you today about the Promise

29
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:31,000
Speaker 1: is coming. We all have things we're believing for dreams.

30
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:34,680
Speaker 1: God put in our heart problems to turn around. But

31
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:38,480
Speaker 1: when it's been so long, we've made mistakes. People have

32
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:42,679
Speaker 1: come against us. All the circumstances say if it was

33
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:46,080
Speaker 1: going to happen, it would have happened by now. It's

34
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:49,520
Speaker 1: easy to get discouraged and accept that it's never going

35
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 1: to work out. But what God promised you doesn't have

36
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:58,440
Speaker 1: an expiration date. Just because you've given up on it

37
00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:01,480
Speaker 1: doesn't mean that God has given ups. You may have

38
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:04,800
Speaker 1: done things that should keep your dream from coming to pass.

39
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:08,840
Speaker 1: You got off course, you don't deserve it, But God

40
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:13,320
Speaker 1: is so merciful He's already taken your mistakes into account.

41
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 1: You may have delayed it from happening, but you haven't

42
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:21,920
Speaker 1: denied it from happening. The promise is still coming. God

43
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:27,240
Speaker 1: is saying, despite your mistakes, despite the failures, despite the delays,

44
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:30,360
Speaker 1: I'm still going to bless you. I'm still going to

45
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:33,560
Speaker 1: heal you. I'm still going to bring that dream to pass.

46
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:38,960
Speaker 1: But too often we disqualify ourselves. We think it would

47
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:42,200
Speaker 1: have happened if I'd have made better choices, if I'd

48
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:45,680
Speaker 1: finished school, if I got involved with the wrong crowd,

49
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:49,359
Speaker 1: if I'd not wasted those years compromising, then God would

50
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:53,000
Speaker 1: bless me, then he would open up new doors. That

51
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:56,720
Speaker 1: would be true if God was like us, if he

52
00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:59,920
Speaker 1: judged us based on our performance and gave us what

53
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:04,160
Speaker 1: we deserved. But God is not like people. He is

54
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:08,960
Speaker 1: full of mercy. He doesn't hold our mistakes against us.

55
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:12,880
Speaker 1: He doesn't cancel our destiny because we got off course.

56
00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 1: God already knew every wrong turn we would take, every

57
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:23,200
Speaker 1: mistake we would make, every failure, every weakness. Nothing you've

58
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:26,960
Speaker 1: done is a surprise to God. Nothing that's happened to

59
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:30,200
Speaker 1: you has caught him off guard. And the good news

60
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 1: is God has mercy for every mistake, restoration for every failure,

61
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:41,040
Speaker 1: a new beginning for every loss, a comeback for every setback.

62
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:45,240
Speaker 1: What He's promised you is still on the way. You

63
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:48,800
Speaker 1: didn't miss your chance. You haven't failed too many times.

64
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 1: That disappointment didn't stop God's plan. He's still going to

65
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:58,560
Speaker 1: show you favor. May seem unlikely. The medical report says,

66
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:01,720
Speaker 1: learn to live with the sick slesness. It will never change.

67
00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:06,520
Speaker 1: It's permanent. God says, healing is coming, Wholeness is coming.

68
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:10,160
Speaker 1: I will restore health back into you. You may not

69
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:13,720
Speaker 1: see how you could ever get out of debt. Nobody

70
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:16,960
Speaker 1: in your family has excelled. You can be the first.

71
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:21,560
Speaker 1: God is saying, increase is coming. You will lend and

72
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:26,200
Speaker 1: not borrow. What you touch will prosper and succeed. Well, Joel,

73
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:29,120
Speaker 1: I'm the one that got me into this mess. It's

74
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 1: my own fault. God is the one that's going to

75
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:35,240
Speaker 1: bring you out of that mess. Quit believe in the

76
00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:38,719
Speaker 1: lies that it's too late. The problem is too big.

77
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:43,000
Speaker 1: You've made too many mistakes. God is called the author

78
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 1: and the finisher of your faith. What he started, he's

79
00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:51,200
Speaker 1: going to finish. The delay doesn't mean it's not going

80
00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:55,919
Speaker 1: to happen. Your mistakes haven't caused God to change his mind.

81
00:04:56,680 --> 00:05:00,599
Speaker 1: And the circumstances may look impossible, but God hasn't run

82
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:04,200
Speaker 1: out of options. You may not see a way. That's

83
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:09,120
Speaker 1: because we're natural. God is supernatural. He has ways we've

84
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:13,520
Speaker 1: never thought of. He's not limited by your job, by

85
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:16,760
Speaker 1: your salary, by medical report, by what you didn't get.

86
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:20,120
Speaker 1: One touch of his favor will catapult you to the

87
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:24,039
Speaker 1: next level. One good break, and what he promised you

88
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:28,719
Speaker 1: will come to pass. In the scripture, God told Abraham

89
00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:31,120
Speaker 1: that he and his wife Sarah were going to have

90
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:35,200
Speaker 1: a baby. Abraham was seventy five years old, Sarah was

91
00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:38,800
Speaker 1: sixty five. They had been married many years and not

92
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:43,400
Speaker 1: had any children. This seemed impossible. They were way too old.

93
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:48,560
Speaker 1: Sometimes God will put promises in your heart that don't

94
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:51,960
Speaker 1: make sense to your mind. He'll put bigger things in

95
00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:55,839
Speaker 1: your spirit than you can accomplish on your own. The

96
00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:59,560
Speaker 1: key is to let the seed take root. You don't

97
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:01,560
Speaker 1: have to figure figure out how it's going to happen.

98
00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:05,160
Speaker 1: All you have to do is believe. Well, years went

99
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 1: by and they didn't see any sign of a baby,

100
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:12,080
Speaker 1: so they tried to help God out. Sarah told Abraham

101
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:15,919
Speaker 1: to sleep with her maid Hagar. They had a son

102
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:20,040
Speaker 1: that they named Ishmael, but he wasn't the promised child.

103
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:24,479
Speaker 1: That's what the Scripture calls works of the flesh, when

104
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:27,080
Speaker 1: we try to make things happen in our own strength,

105
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:31,240
Speaker 1: our own timing. Now, of course they loved Ishmael, but

106
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:35,520
Speaker 1: he was a constant source of conflict. Sarah got mad

107
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:39,000
Speaker 1: at Abraham for sleeping with Hagar, even though it was

108
00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:43,400
Speaker 1: her idea, and that brought strife and division. She finally

109
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:47,599
Speaker 1: gave Abraham an ultimatum, either that lady is leaving or

110
00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:50,640
Speaker 1: I'm leaving, but I am not staying here with Hagar

111
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:55,920
Speaker 1: and her son. Abraham was torn. He loved his son Ishmael.

112
00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:59,680
Speaker 1: Hagar hadn't done anything wrong, but he didn't have much

113
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:02,520
Speaker 1: of a choice. He had to send him out into

114
00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:06,480
Speaker 1: the desert. Was a big mess, all kinds of dysfunction.

115
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:12,480
Speaker 1: For thirteen years, God was silent. Abraham didn't hear anything.

116
00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:16,640
Speaker 1: I'm sure thoughts told him. You blew it, you made

117
00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:19,680
Speaker 1: a big mess, you had a baby with another woman.

118
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:23,800
Speaker 1: Now it's never going to happen. But just because God

119
00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:27,680
Speaker 1: is silent doesn't mean he's given up. You may have

120
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:31,720
Speaker 1: delayed it, but you didn't deny it. God hasn't changed

121
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:36,280
Speaker 1: his mind. Will you trust him? In the seasons of silence,

122
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:39,600
Speaker 1: when every voice tells you it's never going to happen.

123
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:43,360
Speaker 1: It's your own fault. You knew better. You may not

124
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:47,240
Speaker 1: see anything happening. But God is still working. What he

125
00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:51,640
Speaker 1: promised you is still on the way. After thirteen years

126
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:56,640
Speaker 1: of silence, when Abraham was ninety nine, Genesis seventeen says

127
00:07:57,080 --> 00:08:01,200
Speaker 1: God said to Abraham, I am the Lord God Almighty.

128
00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:06,240
Speaker 1: You will become a father of many nations. After all

129
00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:11,040
Speaker 1: his mistakes, all the failures, all the dysfunction. The first

130
00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:14,160
Speaker 1: thing God said to him is you will become a father.

131
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:18,360
Speaker 1: He reminded him of the promise. He was saying, Abraham,

132
00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:21,480
Speaker 1: even though you blew it, even though you made a

133
00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:25,480
Speaker 1: big mess, that didn't stop my plan. I didn't change

134
00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:28,320
Speaker 1: my mind. I'm still going to do what I said.

135
00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:32,880
Speaker 1: You would think the first thing God would say was Abraham,

136
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:36,760
Speaker 1: I'm disappointed in you. What were you thinking? I'm going

137
00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:40,680
Speaker 1: to find somebody else to accomplish your destiny. But God

138
00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:45,640
Speaker 1: never gives up on you. He never disqualifies you. Now

139
00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:50,520
Speaker 1: quit disqualifying yourself. You blew it. Joined the crowd. We

140
00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:54,160
Speaker 1: all have you made a big mistake. Well, come on in,

141
00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:58,760
Speaker 1: you're in good company. The enemy is called the accuser

142
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:02,880
Speaker 1: of the brethren. He'll remind you of everything you've done wrong,

143
00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:06,439
Speaker 1: every mistake you'd made. He'd love for you to go

144
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:11,319
Speaker 1: through life down on yourself. No dreams, no passion, no expectancy.

145
00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:16,679
Speaker 1: Don't fall into that trap. At ninety years old, Sarah

146
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:20,959
Speaker 1: conceived and gave birth to a son. They named him Isaac.

147
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:25,200
Speaker 1: He was the promised child. The scripture says it happened

148
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:29,680
Speaker 1: at the exact time God said it would. That tells

149
00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:33,720
Speaker 1: me God already knew they would make those mistakes. He

150
00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:36,960
Speaker 1: already knew they would be impatient, have the first son

151
00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:41,839
Speaker 1: and get into strife. Isaac was born right on schedule,

152
00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:45,840
Speaker 1: right when God had it planned. Are you believing lies

153
00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:49,840
Speaker 1: that you've missed your chance? You made too many poor choices.

154
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:53,480
Speaker 1: If you'd have been more disciplined, not hung around those

155
00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:56,960
Speaker 1: people that pulled you down. God already knew about that.

156
00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:01,600
Speaker 1: What he promised you is right own schedule. You didn't

157
00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:04,720
Speaker 1: miss it. It's still in your future. I talked to

158
00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:08,240
Speaker 1: an older gentleman. He had struggled most of his life

159
00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:11,640
Speaker 1: with drugs and alcohol. He was raised in a good

160
00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:14,839
Speaker 1: family with a single parent mother. They were in a

161
00:10:14,920 --> 00:10:17,960
Speaker 1: rough environment, and he got involved with the wrong crowd.

162
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:21,840
Speaker 1: He had gone to rehab again and again through the years,

163
00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:24,280
Speaker 1: and it worked for a little while, but he would

164
00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:28,720
Speaker 1: always fall back. His own thoughts not only told him

165
00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:32,960
Speaker 1: how bad he was, but people around him were constantly

166
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:36,800
Speaker 1: putting him down, making him feel like a failure. He

167
00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:39,760
Speaker 1: was so down on himself he didn't really want to live.

168
00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:45,320
Speaker 1: He started watching our program, he said, Joel. Everybody told

169
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:48,640
Speaker 1: me how bad I was, how was a failure, how

170
00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:51,400
Speaker 1: I hadn't made anything out of my life. But you

171
00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:54,120
Speaker 1: were the first one to tell me how good I

172
00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:57,040
Speaker 1: was and how was made in the image of God.

173
00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:00,280
Speaker 1: He didn't have anyone to speak faith into him him

174
00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:03,920
Speaker 1: and tell him what he could become. When he heard

175
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:07,400
Speaker 1: me say you are a child of the Most High God,

176
00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:11,320
Speaker 1: something came alive on the inside. He got down on

177
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:14,959
Speaker 1: his knees, said, God, I made a mess of my life,

178
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:18,320
Speaker 1: tried to clean up on my own, but I can't

179
00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:22,880
Speaker 1: do this by myself. God, please help me to change.

180
00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:26,360
Speaker 1: From that moment on, he never had another desire for

181
00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:31,719
Speaker 1: the drugs. He never touched the alcohol again. Today he

182
00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:36,360
Speaker 1: works in the prisons, encouraging the inmates that they too

183
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:40,160
Speaker 1: are a child of the Most High God. Now, you

184
00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:44,280
Speaker 1: may have failed, but you are not a failure. Failure

185
00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:47,800
Speaker 1: is an event. It's not who you are. You may

186
00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:51,080
Speaker 1: have an addiction, but you are not an addict. That's

187
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:54,360
Speaker 1: what you struggle with, that's not who you are. What

188
00:11:54,559 --> 00:12:00,119
Speaker 1: you do may not always be good, but you are good.

189
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:04,080
Speaker 1: Of the universe. Breathe life into you. Like this man.

190
00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:06,840
Speaker 1: You may have gotten off course, you may have brought

191
00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:10,360
Speaker 1: the trouble on yourself. But God is saying, I'm still

192
00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:13,320
Speaker 1: going to bless you. I'm still going to free you.

193
00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:16,520
Speaker 1: I'm still going to use you to help others. You're

194
00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:21,679
Speaker 1: still going to fulfill your destiny. Jesus said, you're blessed

195
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:24,920
Speaker 1: when you're at the end of your rope, with less

196
00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:29,200
Speaker 1: of you. There's war of God and his room. His

197
00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:33,839
Speaker 1: rule means his favor, his healing, his freedom. Abraham was

198
00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:36,760
Speaker 1: at the end of his rope, no way in the natural,

199
00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:40,400
Speaker 1: but God showed up and gave him a baby. This

200
00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:43,920
Speaker 1: man was at the end of his rope, addicted for years.

201
00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:48,040
Speaker 1: God showed up and brought freedom. You may be in

202
00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:52,599
Speaker 1: a situation that doesn't look good. Your health, your finances,

203
00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:56,280
Speaker 1: a relationship, a business looks like at the end, you

204
00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:59,200
Speaker 1: don't see how it can ever work out. Have a

205
00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:02,880
Speaker 1: new perspective when you're at the end. In a sense,

206
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:07,320
Speaker 1: it's a blessing in disguise. You're in prime position for

207
00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:10,960
Speaker 1: God to show out in your life. God is saying

208
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:14,680
Speaker 1: to you what he said to Abraham. I am the Lord,

209
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:19,520
Speaker 1: God Almighty. What I promised you is still on the way.

210
00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:22,680
Speaker 1: Those dreams you've given up on, they're on the way.

211
00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:26,760
Speaker 1: That healing you're praying about is on the way. That

212
00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:30,760
Speaker 1: baby you're believing for is on the way. Instead of

213
00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:35,400
Speaker 1: going around down on yourself, discourage, turn it around. Father.

214
00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:39,800
Speaker 1: Thank you that you are Almighty God, that your mercy

215
00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:43,680
Speaker 1: is bigger than my mistakes. You're more powerful than this addiction.

216
00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:46,960
Speaker 1: You're greater than this sickness. I may be in a

217
00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:50,680
Speaker 1: season of silence. I don't see anything happening right now,

218
00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:54,400
Speaker 1: But God, I know you are working behind the scenes.

219
00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:58,520
Speaker 1: What you promised me is still right on schedule. Think

220
00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:01,840
Speaker 1: about Abraham ninety nine years old. He didn't have the

221
00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:07,200
Speaker 1: seed to have a baby. Even if Sarah could somehow conceive,

222
00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:11,320
Speaker 1: even if her wound became fertile, it wouldn't happen without

223
00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:14,400
Speaker 1: the seed. He could have thought, God, I could believe

224
00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:16,880
Speaker 1: we could have a baby if I had the seed.

225
00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:20,120
Speaker 1: But the problem is I don't have what I need.

226
00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:24,640
Speaker 1: I'm lacking. You may feel like you're lacking in some area,

227
00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:30,600
Speaker 1: lacking talent, lacking finances, lacking support. But God knows what

228
00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:33,960
Speaker 1: you don't have. He knows what's in your bank account,

229
00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:37,120
Speaker 1: he knows who's not for you, he knows what the

230
00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:40,920
Speaker 1: medical report says. The good news is God is going

231
00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:43,720
Speaker 1: to make up for what you don't have. He's going

232
00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:47,000
Speaker 1: to give you the seed. That's what he did for Abraham,

233
00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:51,200
Speaker 1: little Isaac was born. But it's interesting. God could have

234
00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:54,200
Speaker 1: caused Abraham to have a baby when he was younger,

235
00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:58,520
Speaker 1: when he had the natural ability. But God waited till

236
00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:02,840
Speaker 1: he ran out of the seed. And sometimes on purpose.

237
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:06,080
Speaker 1: God will let you run out of what you need,

238
00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:09,360
Speaker 1: so you'll have to depend on him where your only

239
00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:12,400
Speaker 1: option is. God, if you don't do this, it's not

240
00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:15,480
Speaker 1: going to happen. If you don't turn my child around,

241
00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:18,800
Speaker 1: if you don't open this door, if you don't heal

242
00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:22,280
Speaker 1: my body, God that I'm done. That's what Jesus said.

243
00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:25,520
Speaker 1: When you come to the end of your ability, then

244
00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:28,400
Speaker 1: there's room for God's favor, There's room for him to

245
00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:32,080
Speaker 1: show out in your life. If Abraham were here today,

246
00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:36,360
Speaker 1: he would tell you, don't let the circumstances fool you.

247
00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:39,360
Speaker 1: Don't let what you don't have talk you out of it.

248
00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:44,280
Speaker 1: Don't let your mistakes, your failures, the delays, the seasons

249
00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:47,880
Speaker 1: of silence convince you that it's never going to happen.

250
00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:52,120
Speaker 1: The Lord God Almighty is about to do for you

251
00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:55,320
Speaker 1: what he did for Abraham. He's going to bless you

252
00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:58,800
Speaker 1: in spite of your mistakes. He's going to promote you,

253
00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:02,400
Speaker 1: in spite of the odds being against you. He's going

254
00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:05,760
Speaker 1: to make things happen that you didn't deserve. You didn't

255
00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:08,280
Speaker 1: work for it, you didn't earn it. It's just the

256
00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:13,000
Speaker 1: goodness of God. Years ago, this business venture came across

257
00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:17,000
Speaker 1: my path. It seemed like a once in a lifetime opportunity.

258
00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:20,440
Speaker 1: I was so excited. I didn't have to pray about it.

259
00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:23,200
Speaker 1: I didn't have to think twice. I just said yes.

260
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:27,200
Speaker 1: But along the way, as we researched it more and

261
00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:31,040
Speaker 1: talked with a few experts, there were several red flags

262
00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:34,200
Speaker 1: and things that didn't pan out. But I was so

263
00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:38,080
Speaker 1: set in having it my way, I ignored it, didn't

264
00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:41,520
Speaker 1: pay it any attention. We signed a contract and got

265
00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:44,600
Speaker 1: it up and going, but it wasn't what I thought.

266
00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:48,280
Speaker 1: Didn't take off the way we had planned. There were

267
00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:52,400
Speaker 1: some restrictions and limitations that we didn't realize. It was

268
00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:56,840
Speaker 1: a constant struggle, a burden financially. We didn't know how

269
00:16:56,880 --> 00:16:59,800
Speaker 1: it was going to turn out. I had this huge obligation.

270
00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:03,280
Speaker 1: I was over my head, and it was nobody's fault

271
00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:07,679
Speaker 1: except my own. I knew God had put big things

272
00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:11,879
Speaker 1: in my heart, but like Abraham, I was impatient. I

273
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:15,800
Speaker 1: tried to make it happen in my own strength. Nasalmas said,

274
00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:20,480
Speaker 1: the Israelites did not wait for God's plan to unfalld.

275
00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:23,920
Speaker 1: It's easy to get in a hurry, try to force

276
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:28,040
Speaker 1: doors to open, try to manipulate people. If you push

277
00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:32,280
Speaker 1: hard enough, sometimes God will let you open a door

278
00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:35,600
Speaker 1: that he hasn't ordained. He'll let you go down a

279
00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:39,040
Speaker 1: road that's not his best path. And I'm all for

280
00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:42,920
Speaker 1: taking risks getting out of our comfort zones. But it's

281
00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:47,520
Speaker 1: important to stay in God's timing. Listen to that still

282
00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:52,000
Speaker 1: small voice on the inside, that opportunity may be right

283
00:17:52,119 --> 00:17:55,000
Speaker 1: for you. But when you feel the unrest, it may

284
00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:59,200
Speaker 1: be it's just not the right time. Abraham knew God

285
00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:02,119
Speaker 1: promised him of it, but what it didn't happen on

286
00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:05,760
Speaker 1: his timetable as fast as he thought it should. That's

287
00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:09,840
Speaker 1: when they tried to help God out. This business venture

288
00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:13,800
Speaker 1: of mine never did take off. But here's how amazing

289
00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:17,480
Speaker 1: God is. Even though I made the mess, even though

290
00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:21,359
Speaker 1: I overrode what I was feeling, brought the trouble on myself,

291
00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:25,720
Speaker 1: God supernaturally turned it around. We came out of it

292
00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:29,000
Speaker 1: much better than we went into it. It ended up

293
00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:32,639
Speaker 1: being a huge blessing. What am I saying? God took

294
00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:36,840
Speaker 1: my mistake and turned it into a miracle. That's the

295
00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:40,280
Speaker 1: mercy of God. When we don't deserve it, we got,

296
00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:43,800
Speaker 1: of course, we got in a hurry. God says, I'm

297
00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:46,960
Speaker 1: still going to bless you. I'm still going to favor you.

298
00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:50,080
Speaker 1: I'm still going to get you to where you're supposed

299
00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:53,440
Speaker 1: to be. Quit believe in those lies that you can't

300
00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:56,560
Speaker 1: accomplish your dreams. Look what you've done. You'll never meet

301
00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:59,000
Speaker 1: the right person, never get out of debt. You've made

302
00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:03,359
Speaker 1: too many poortra choices. What God promised you is still

303
00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:06,600
Speaker 1: on the way. You may have delayed it, but you

304
00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:11,399
Speaker 1: didn't deny it. It's still on the schedule. Start believing again,

305
00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:15,680
Speaker 1: start dreaming again, Start making plans for what you've given

306
00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:18,560
Speaker 1: up on. I met a couple that had been trying

307
00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:21,800
Speaker 1: to have a baby for eleven years. They came down

308
00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:25,280
Speaker 1: for prayer, and the young lady was weeping and weeping.

309
00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:28,920
Speaker 1: She wanted a baby so badly, but all the medical

310
00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:32,320
Speaker 1: reports said there was no way. She had taken the

311
00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:36,120
Speaker 1: fertility treatments. They'd done everything they could in the natural

312
00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:41,280
Speaker 1: with no success. But against all odds, the young lady conceived.

313
00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:45,399
Speaker 1: They came back last week to dedicate their beautiful baby daughter.

314
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:51,320
Speaker 1: Medically speaking, it was impossible. But when the Lord God

315
00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:57,000
Speaker 1: Almighty shows up, what's impossible becomes possible. What He's destined

316
00:19:57,040 --> 00:20:00,479
Speaker 1: for your life will come to pass. This time I

317
00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:05,159
Speaker 1: saw her. Years before, she was weeping with tears of sadness,

318
00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:09,719
Speaker 1: so heartbroken. This time she was weeping with tears of joy,

319
00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:14,159
Speaker 1: so overwhelmed at God's goodness. You may have shed some

320
00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:18,000
Speaker 1: tears of sadness over what hasn't worked out, dreams that

321
00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:21,680
Speaker 1: haven't come to pass, disappointments, loss that you've been through.

322
00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:25,320
Speaker 1: Like with her, God is going to turn your mourning

323
00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:29,400
Speaker 1: into dancing. Those tears of sadness into tears of joy.

324
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:33,040
Speaker 1: May not have happened yet, but it's not over. God

325
00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:37,439
Speaker 1: has the final say. The Psalmist said, weeping may endure

326
00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:41,120
Speaker 1: for a night, but joy comes in the morning. Your

327
00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:45,520
Speaker 1: mourning is coming, your baby is coming, your healing is coming,

328
00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:49,920
Speaker 1: your spouse is coming, Your breakthrough is coming. When it happens,

329
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:53,640
Speaker 1: it's going to be more rewarding, more fulfilling, better than

330
00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:59,200
Speaker 1: you've ever imagined. Moses was born into a Hebrew family,

331
00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:02,960
Speaker 1: but he was raised by Egyptians. As a young man,

332
00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:05,879
Speaker 1: God gave him a dream that he would deliver the

333
00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:09,879
Speaker 1: Israelites out of slavery in Egypt. One day, he saw

334
00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:14,199
Speaker 1: an Egyptian foreman mistreating a Hebrew slave. He didn't think

335
00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:18,320
Speaker 1: anyone was watching. He killed the man. He had good intentions,

336
00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:21,320
Speaker 1: but he got out of God's timing. He didn't wait

337
00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:25,040
Speaker 1: for the plan to unfold. Someone saw him. He had

338
00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:28,560
Speaker 1: to run for his life. He spent forty years on

339
00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:32,000
Speaker 1: the back side of the desert in hiding. Here he

340
00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:34,880
Speaker 1: had this calling on his life. He knew what God

341
00:21:34,880 --> 00:21:37,720
Speaker 1: had spoken to him, but he blew it. It was

342
00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:42,000
Speaker 1: his fault. I'm sure he lived in regrets. There weren't

343
00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:45,000
Speaker 1: many days went by that he didn't think about that mistake.

344
00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:48,080
Speaker 1: Why didn't I keep my cool? Why didn't I use

345
00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:52,560
Speaker 1: better judgment? It looked like that had canceled out the promise.

346
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:57,920
Speaker 1: But God doesn't change his mind. Our mistakes may delay them,

347
00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:02,560
Speaker 1: but even then, God uses the delays, the setbacks, to

348
00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:07,440
Speaker 1: develop us, to get us prepared. Nothing is wasted. If

349
00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:10,320
Speaker 1: you'll keep the right attitude, all things will work for

350
00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:14,080
Speaker 1: your good. One morning, Moses was out in the desert.

351
00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:20,159
Speaker 1: Everything seemed normal, when suddenly a bush exploded caught fire.

352
00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:25,320
Speaker 1: What made this bush unusual is that it didn't burn up. Intrigued,

353
00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:28,120
Speaker 1: Moses walked over to it see what was going on.

354
00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:33,119
Speaker 1: A voice boomed out, Moses, Moses, take off your sandals.

355
00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:37,120
Speaker 1: You are standing on holy ground. It had been forty

356
00:22:37,240 --> 00:22:40,800
Speaker 1: years since he had heard God's voice, a season of

357
00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:44,320
Speaker 1: silence so long he thought God had forgotten about him.

358
00:22:44,720 --> 00:22:49,040
Speaker 1: He'd already accepted that he couldn't accomplish his destiny. But

359
00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:52,960
Speaker 1: after all his mistakes, after the failures, when he was

360
00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:56,840
Speaker 1: eighty years old, God showed up and say, all right, Moses,

361
00:22:57,119 --> 00:23:00,119
Speaker 1: now I'm ready for you to go deliver the Israelites.

362
00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:04,119
Speaker 1: He went out and did just that. Like Moses, you

363
00:23:04,200 --> 00:23:07,480
Speaker 1: may have made mistakes, you got off course. You don't

364
00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:10,080
Speaker 1: see how you could ever accomplish your dreams. It's been

365
00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:14,640
Speaker 1: too long. But that season of silence doesn't mean God

366
00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:18,639
Speaker 1: has forgotten about you. In the forty years Moses was

367
00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:22,880
Speaker 1: out in the desert, the scripture says, Moses became the

368
00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:27,439
Speaker 1: most humble man in all the land. God is working

369
00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:31,520
Speaker 1: on you in the silent years. You may not realize it,

370
00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:35,800
Speaker 1: but he's getting you prepared. Your time is coming. Your

371
00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:39,520
Speaker 1: burning bush is on the way. What God started, he's

372
00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:42,399
Speaker 1: going to finish. Even though it may have been your fault,

373
00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:45,080
Speaker 1: He's still going to bless you. He's still going to

374
00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:48,360
Speaker 1: favor you. He's still going to open doors you never

375
00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:51,600
Speaker 1: dreamed would open. I talked to a gentleman. When he

376
00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:55,400
Speaker 1: was seventeen years old. Back in the nineteen sixties, his

377
00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:59,960
Speaker 1: girlfriend became pregnant. Their parents were not happy. They said

378
00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:03,199
Speaker 1: him off to the Marine Corps. The young lady and

379
00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:07,240
Speaker 1: her family moved to a different state. While in boot camp,

380
00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:10,479
Speaker 1: she informed him that she was giving the baby up

381
00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:14,399
Speaker 1: for adoption. He went over and served overseas and the

382
00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:17,560
Speaker 1: Special Forces. He was hoping when he came back home

383
00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:20,520
Speaker 1: they'd get back together. She sent him a note saying

384
00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:24,479
Speaker 1: she was moving on. They went their separate ways. Fast

385
00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:27,560
Speaker 1: forward to the year two thousand and nine. The man

386
00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:30,639
Speaker 1: had just lost his wife of twenty four years to

387
00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:35,159
Speaker 1: an illness. He was very heartbroken. Three months later, he

388
00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:40,160
Speaker 1: received a sympathy card from his former teenage girlfriend. They

389
00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:43,840
Speaker 1: had not spoken in over forty two years. Her husband

390
00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:46,760
Speaker 1: had just died as well. He was able to find

391
00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:49,840
Speaker 1: her number and call her. They couldn't believe they were

392
00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:53,240
Speaker 1: talking to each other after all that time. She told

393
00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:57,000
Speaker 1: him how she had just located their daughter that they

394
00:24:57,000 --> 00:24:59,840
Speaker 1: had given up for adoption. She lived a few minutes

395
00:24:59,840 --> 00:25:03,480
Speaker 1: from He went to see the lady. He met his

396
00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:07,159
Speaker 1: daughter for the first time and his ten year old grandson.

397
00:25:07,560 --> 00:25:11,280
Speaker 1: A dream come true. He and the lady started dating.

398
00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:15,320
Speaker 1: A year later, they were married with their daughter, who

399
00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:18,439
Speaker 1: they had given up for adoption as the maid of honor.

400
00:25:19,320 --> 00:25:22,600
Speaker 1: God knows how to take mistakes we've made and turned

401
00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:26,840
Speaker 1: them in a miracle. It's not too late. You haven't

402
00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:29,960
Speaker 1: missed your chance. You don't know what God is up to.

403
00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:33,680
Speaker 1: He can make things happen. You never dreamed what happened.

404
00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:38,800
Speaker 1: I'm sure Moses never thought he'd fulfill his destiny. Abraham

405
00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:42,200
Speaker 1: never thought he'd become a father at an old age.

406
00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:45,800
Speaker 1: This man never thought he'd ever meet his daughter, never

407
00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:49,400
Speaker 1: see his family restored. But God is full of mercy

408
00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:53,119
Speaker 1: and full of surprises. There are promises you may have

409
00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:56,360
Speaker 1: given up on, but God has not given up. They're

410
00:25:56,440 --> 00:25:59,639
Speaker 1: still in your future. Don't drag through life thinking you've

411
00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:02,600
Speaker 1: seen you your best days. Stir your faith up. The

412
00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:07,280
Speaker 1: Lord God Almighty is at work in your life right now. Now.

413
00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:11,240
Speaker 1: I believe and declare what He's promised you is still

414
00:26:11,280 --> 00:26:14,760
Speaker 1: on the way. Healing is on the way, Freedom is

415
00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:17,000
Speaker 1: on the way. The right people are on the way.

416
00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:21,399
Speaker 1: The fullness of your destiny in Jesus' name, and if

417
00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:25,640
Speaker 1: you receive it, can you say him in today? I'd

418
00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:28,479
Speaker 1: like to give you an opportunity to make Jesus the

419
00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:32,040
Speaker 1: lord of your life. Would you pray with me? Just say,

420
00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:38,160
Speaker 1: Lord Jesus, I repent of my sins. Come into my heart.

421
00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:43,240
Speaker 1: I make you my lord and savior. If you prayed

422
00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:46,560
Speaker 1: that simple prayer. We believe you got born again. Get

423
00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:50,159
Speaker 1: in a good Bible based church. Keep God first place.

424
00:26:50,560 --> 00:26:52,960
Speaker 1: He's going to take your places that you've never dreamed.

425
00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:56,240
Speaker 1: When was the last time you asked God to do

426
00:26:56,280 --> 00:27:01,280
Speaker 1: something that seemed impossible? If you only pray small, ordinary prayers,

427
00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:04,480
Speaker 1: you live a small, ordinary lie. I have a new

428
00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:07,560
Speaker 1: book called Pray Bold. I'll challenge you to stretch your

429
00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:10,119
Speaker 1: faith and believe for the big things God puts in

430
00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:13,440
Speaker 1: your heart. Victoria and I used to have seasoned tickets

431
00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:16,960
Speaker 1: to watch the Rockets play basketball here. We never dreamed

432
00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:20,159
Speaker 1: it could be ours when they moved out. Somehow we

433
00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:23,080
Speaker 1: had the faith to pray a bold prayer. God made

434
00:27:23,080 --> 00:27:25,879
Speaker 1: things happen that we could never make happen. It's the

435
00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:28,600
Speaker 1: same for you, who knows what God will do in

436
00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:31,800
Speaker 1: your life. If you'll dare to pray bold, ask him

437
00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:35,080
Speaker 1: for your dreams, ask for your healing, as for your freedom.

438
00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:38,080
Speaker 1: That's when God will show up and do more than

439
00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:39,440
Speaker 1: you could ever imagine.

440
00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:42,160
Speaker 2: As our way of saying thank you for your gift

441
00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:44,800

444
00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:57,120
Speaker 2: we pray, we can tap into God's creative, awesome power,

445
00:27:57,640 --> 00:28:01,360
Speaker 2: something bigger than we have ever imagined. God doesn't want

446
00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:04,840
Speaker 2: us to just pray in our comfort zones. Now. God

447
00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:09,119
Speaker 2: loves when we pray big, believe big, expect him to

448
00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:13,320

456
00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:43,560
Speaker 1: in the nied that seem impossible. But as you pray
