I know God has great 3 00:00:05,650 --> 00:00:08,350 Speaker 1: things in store. You wouldn't be alive if there weren't 4 00:00:08,450 --> 00:00:11,049 Speaker 1: more victories in front of you. So know that we 5 00:00:11,090 --> 00:00:13,230 Speaker 1: love you. We're praying for you. Hey, I hope you'll 6 00:00:13,250 --> 00:00:15,390 Speaker 1: stay tuned to the very end.

But 14 00:00:37,220 --> 00:00:39,900 Speaker 1: thanks for tuning in. Thanks again for coming out today. 15 00:00:40,700 --> 00:00:43,540 Speaker 1: I like to start with something funny. One day, Adam 16 00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:46,699 Speaker 1: was talking to God. He said, God, why did you 17 00:00:46,740 --> 00:00:50,140 Speaker 1: make Eve so beautiful? God said, so you would love her. 18 00:00:50,780 --> 00:00:52,500 Speaker 1: He said, well, God, why did you give her such 19 00:00:52,580 --> 00:00:55,760 Speaker 1: long flowing hair? God said it again. So you would 20 00:00:55,820 --> 00:00:58,160 Speaker 1: love her. Well, God, why did you give her such 21 00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:00,980 Speaker 1: a great figure? God said the same thing. So you 22 00:01:01,020 --> 00:01:03,570 Speaker 1: would love her. He said, okay, God, you made her 23 00:01:03,610 --> 00:01:07,150 Speaker 1: so beautiful, so attractive. Why did you make her so dumb? 24 00:01:07,750 --> 00:01:10,360 Speaker 1: God said, that's easy, Adam. So she would love you. 25 00:01:12,630 --> 00:01:15,350 Speaker 1: Say it like you mean it. This is my Bible. 26 00:01:15,850 --> 00:01:18,190 Speaker 1: I am what it says I am. I have what 27 00:01:18,230 --> 00:01:20,490 Speaker 1: it says I have. I can do what it says 28 00:01:20,569 --> 00:01:23,350 Speaker 1: I can do. Today, I will be taught the word 29 00:01:23,370 --> 00:01:27,530 Speaker 1: of God. I boldly confess my mind is alert. My 30 00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:30,860 Speaker 1: heart is receptive. I will never be the same in 31 00:01:30,940 --> 00:01:34,900 Speaker 1: Jesus name. God bless you. I want to talk to 32 00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:38,929 Speaker 1: you today about when God seems too late. We all 33 00:01:38,970 --> 00:01:42,390 Speaker 1: have things that we're believing for, dreams to come to pass, 34 00:01:42,770 --> 00:01:46,880 Speaker 1: problems to turn around. We've been praying, standing in faith, 35 00:01:47,090 --> 00:01:50,340 Speaker 1: but nothing is happening. Now it seems like we've missed 36 00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:53,400 Speaker 1: our chance. It's too late to have a baby. It's 37 00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:56,200 Speaker 1: too late to start my business. Too late to break 38 00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:59,790 Speaker 1: this addiction. I've had it so long. But many times 39 00:02:00,170 --> 00:02:03,510 Speaker 1: God waits on purpose till the odds are against us. 40 00:02:04,010 --> 00:02:07,360 Speaker 1: He waits till the obstacle is too big. So when 41 00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:10,400 Speaker 1: he turns it around, there won't be any doubt. It 42 00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:14,380 Speaker 1: was his favor, his healing, his power making a way 43 00:02:14,620 --> 00:02:17,780 Speaker 1: where there was no way. Don't be discouraged when it 44 00:02:17,860 --> 00:02:20,760 Speaker 1: seems too late. You don't see how it can happen. 45 00:02:21,150 --> 00:02:24,070 Speaker 1: You're in prime position for God to show out in 46 00:02:24,110 --> 00:02:28,080 Speaker 1: your life. God told Abraham when he was 100 years 47 00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:32,750 Speaker 1: old that he was going to have a baby. Abraham's wife, Sarah, 48 00:02:32,910 --> 00:02:36,430 Speaker 1: was barren. She had never had children. Plus, she had 49 00:02:36,450 --> 00:02:39,680 Speaker 1: gone through the change of life. God could have given 50 00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:43,339 Speaker 1: Abraham this promise when he was 30 years old, when 51 00:02:43,419 --> 00:02:46,020 Speaker 1: Sarah was in her prime to have a child, or 52 00:02:46,060 --> 00:02:49,020 Speaker 1: maybe when he was 40 years old, a more normal 53 00:02:49,220 --> 00:02:52,730 Speaker 1: age to have a baby. He's God. He has everything 54 00:02:53,050 --> 00:02:57,850 Speaker 1: strategically planned out down to the smallest details. It's not 55 00:02:57,910 --> 00:03:02,100 Speaker 1: like he forgot or he miscalculated. Oh, I meant to 56 00:03:02,139 --> 00:03:05,220 Speaker 1: give them that promise years earlier. Why did I wait 57 00:03:05,300 --> 00:03:09,500 Speaker 1: so long? God on purpose waited for the odds to 58 00:03:09,540 --> 00:03:13,100 Speaker 1: be against them. On purpose, he waited till they were 59 00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:17,299 Speaker 1: that age. On purpose, he chose Sarah who was barren, 60 00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:21,620 Speaker 1: not able to have children. Maybe God has put promises 61 00:03:21,690 --> 00:03:24,620 Speaker 1: in your heart that seem too late. You don't see 62 00:03:24,690 --> 00:03:27,470 Speaker 1: how you could get well, how your child can get 63 00:03:27,530 --> 00:03:30,410 Speaker 1: back on course, how you'll meet the right person soon. 64 00:03:31,100 --> 00:03:35,840 Speaker 1: God didn't miscalculate. He didn't accidentally choose the wrong person. 65 00:03:36,450 --> 00:03:39,890 Speaker 1: God let the odds be against you on purpose. He 66 00:03:39,930 --> 00:03:43,270 Speaker 1: let it seem like it's too big, too late, too 67 00:03:43,310 --> 00:03:47,570 Speaker 1: far gone. You're right where Abraham was. A baby when 68 00:03:47,610 --> 00:03:51,030 Speaker 1: my wife is barren, a baby at a hundred years 69 00:03:51,090 --> 00:03:56,460 Speaker 1: of age. God let the circumstances seem impossible. Then he said, 70 00:03:56,940 --> 00:04:01,210 Speaker 1: now Abraham, I'm going to bless you. God doesn't do 71 00:04:01,310 --> 00:04:05,750 Speaker 1: things on a normal schedule, a normal timeframe. He has 72 00:04:05,810 --> 00:04:10,380 Speaker 1: some unscheduled blessings for you. Things that are out of season, 73 00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:14,559 Speaker 1: out of the ordinary that shouldn't happen now. Joel, I'm 74 00:04:14,620 --> 00:04:18,080 Speaker 1: past my prime. The medical report says it's too late. 75 00:04:18,750 --> 00:04:22,560 Speaker 1: The financial experts say things should be down. That's when 76 00:04:22,620 --> 00:04:25,120 Speaker 1: God steps in and says, let me show you who 77 00:04:25,260 --> 00:04:29,300 Speaker 1: I am. I'm not limited by time. I'm not affected 78 00:04:29,339 --> 00:04:34,110 Speaker 1: by the economy. I'm not restricted by your age, your background, 79 00:04:34,380 --> 00:04:38,630 Speaker 1: the opposition, by how long it's been. I control the universe. 80 00:04:39,270 --> 00:04:42,670 Speaker 1: When I speak, wombs come back to life. When I speak, 81 00:04:42,770 --> 00:04:47,250 Speaker 1: red seas part. When I speak, sicknesses leave. When I speak, 82 00:04:47,370 --> 00:04:51,710 Speaker 1: compact centers open up. When I speak, addictions are broken. 83 00:04:52,130 --> 00:04:56,940 Speaker 1: Marriages are restored. Opportunities show up. When thoughts tell you 84 00:04:57,200 --> 00:05:00,600 Speaker 1: it's too late, it's never going to happen now, let 85 00:05:00,620 --> 00:05:03,640 Speaker 1: that go in one ear and out the other. God 86 00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:07,420 Speaker 1: is faithful. What he promised you is still in route. 87 00:05:08,130 --> 00:05:11,490 Speaker 1: You may not see any sign of it. Every circumstance 88 00:05:11,529 --> 00:05:15,539 Speaker 1: says there's no way. Things are happening that you can't see. 89 00:05:16,300 --> 00:05:19,679 Speaker 1: In the unseen realm, God is moving the wrong people 90 00:05:19,820 --> 00:05:23,360 Speaker 1: out of the way, lining up the healing, the favor, 91 00:05:23,580 --> 00:05:27,460 Speaker 1: the good breaks. They're already on your schedule. But here's 92 00:05:27,500 --> 00:05:30,100 Speaker 1: the key. If you could see how it was going 93 00:05:30,140 --> 00:05:34,120 Speaker 1: to happen, that wouldn't take any faith. If God would 94 00:05:34,140 --> 00:05:38,479 Speaker 1: have promised Abraham a child at 30 years old, that 95 00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:42,200 Speaker 1: would have been great, but that wasn't unusual. God is 96 00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:45,100 Speaker 1: going to put promises in your heart that are out 97 00:05:45,140 --> 00:05:50,010 Speaker 1: of the ordinary. Things that seem unlikely, too big, too 98 00:05:50,070 --> 00:05:53,609 Speaker 1: much money, too much opposition. Now it's up to you 99 00:05:54,010 --> 00:05:56,690 Speaker 1: what you do with that promise. Are you going to 100 00:05:56,770 --> 00:06:00,070 Speaker 1: dismiss it? Think that's not for me. No way that 101 00:06:00,089 --> 00:06:04,909 Speaker 1: could happen now. Me, get well now. Start my business now. 102 00:06:05,589 --> 00:06:08,470 Speaker 1: Meet the right person now. Do you know how long 103 00:06:08,510 --> 00:06:11,510 Speaker 1: I've been single? God, where were you 20 years ago? 104 00:06:12,070 --> 00:06:15,370 Speaker 1: How do you know that God has not waited on purpose? 105 00:06:16,070 --> 00:06:19,140 Speaker 1: How do you know, like Abraham and Sarah, that God 106 00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:22,180 Speaker 1: didn't let the odds be against you for a reason? 107 00:06:22,980 --> 00:06:25,860 Speaker 1: He's saying to you what he said to them. Now 108 00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:29,200 Speaker 1: I'm going to bless you. Now I'm going to heal you. 109 00:06:29,740 --> 00:06:33,080 Speaker 1: Now I'm going to turn that child around. Now at 110 00:06:33,180 --> 00:06:35,840 Speaker 1: this season in your life, I'm going to cause your 111 00:06:35,900 --> 00:06:39,460 Speaker 1: business to take off. Why don't you receive that into 112 00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:43,799 Speaker 1: your spirit? It's not too late. You haven't missed your chance. 113 00:06:44,220 --> 00:06:47,299 Speaker 1: God waited so he can show out in your life. 114 00:06:47,820 --> 00:06:50,560 Speaker 1: He wants to make you an example of his goodness. 115 00:06:51,460 --> 00:06:53,890 Speaker 1: If he did it at a normal time, no one 116 00:06:53,910 --> 00:06:58,110 Speaker 1: would have noticed. If he did it under ordinary circumstances, 117 00:06:58,450 --> 00:07:01,529 Speaker 1: it would have been no big deal. Get ready for 118 00:07:01,570 --> 00:07:06,310 Speaker 1: some unscheduled blessings, out of season increase, not the normal 119 00:07:06,370 --> 00:07:11,380 Speaker 1: time promotion. Promises that you've given up on, dreams you've 120 00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:15,020 Speaker 1: let go of, you've accepted it's too late to accomplish 121 00:07:15,060 --> 00:07:18,360 Speaker 1: that goal, too late to break the addiction, too late 122 00:07:18,420 --> 00:07:21,780 Speaker 1: to have a baby. That may be true looking at 123 00:07:21,820 --> 00:07:25,100 Speaker 1: a normal schedule. You don't see it on there, but 124 00:07:25,140 --> 00:07:28,720 Speaker 1: God is saying, it's still on my schedule. I still 125 00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:31,090 Speaker 1: have a way to bring it to pass. I wouldn't 126 00:07:31,110 --> 00:07:33,550 Speaker 1: have promised it if I wasn't going to do it. 127 00:07:34,390 --> 00:07:37,230 Speaker 1: Now all through the day, Father, thank you that what 128 00:07:37,250 --> 00:07:40,350 Speaker 1: you started in my life, you're going to finish. It 129 00:07:40,410 --> 00:07:42,950 Speaker 1: may seem too late for me, but I know it's 130 00:07:43,010 --> 00:07:46,820 Speaker 1: not too late for you. Thank you for these unscheduled blessings, 131 00:07:47,100 --> 00:07:51,100 Speaker 1: blessings out of season. When Abraham heard that he was 132 00:07:51,140 --> 00:07:54,340 Speaker 1: going to have a child, the scripture says he laughed 133 00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:57,890 Speaker 1: to himself and said, God, how can I become a 134 00:07:57,940 --> 00:08:02,110 Speaker 1: father at the age of 100? And Sarah is 90. 135 00:08:02,110 --> 00:08:05,010 Speaker 1: How can she have a baby? It was so far 136 00:08:05,190 --> 00:08:09,070 Speaker 1: out that it was almost comical. Abraham didn't tell Sarah 137 00:08:09,170 --> 00:08:11,850 Speaker 1: anything about it. He knew she would have thought that 138 00:08:11,890 --> 00:08:15,170 Speaker 1: he had lost his mind. But not long after that, 139 00:08:15,830 --> 00:08:20,210 Speaker 1: Sarah overheard three men talking with Abraham. They said by 140 00:08:20,250 --> 00:08:23,970 Speaker 1: this time next year sarah will have a baby When 141 00:08:24,030 --> 00:08:27,990 Speaker 1: she heard that she nearly passed out She did like abraham. 142 00:08:28,270 --> 00:08:31,770 Speaker 1: She laughed and said god. How could an old woman 143 00:08:31,830 --> 00:08:35,560 Speaker 1: like me have a baby? Plus my husband is an 144 00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:38,740 Speaker 1: old man She was saying if you think i'm bad, 145 00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:41,819 Speaker 1: you should see my husband god You found the wrong 146 00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:45,440 Speaker 1: couple you showed up too late. You better find someone 147 00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:49,050 Speaker 1: 50 years younger than us She didn't think there was 148 00:08:49,170 --> 00:08:54,380 Speaker 1: any possible way it could happen. Verse 13, God said, Abraham, 149 00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:57,880 Speaker 1: why did Sarah laugh? Why did she say, can an 150 00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:01,350 Speaker 1: old woman like me have a baby? Is there anything 151 00:09:01,450 --> 00:09:05,990 Speaker 1: too hard for the Lord? Sometimes God puts promises in 152 00:09:06,070 --> 00:09:10,309 Speaker 1: our heart that are so big, so unlikely, it's almost funny. 153 00:09:11,030 --> 00:09:13,939 Speaker 1: All we can do is laugh. God, you want me 154 00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:16,680 Speaker 1: to step up and pastor the church and I've only 155 00:09:16,740 --> 00:09:20,210 Speaker 1: ministered one time? God, you're saying we're going to get 156 00:09:20,250 --> 00:09:23,710 Speaker 1: the compact center. Have you seen how big the opposition is? 157 00:09:24,530 --> 00:09:27,410 Speaker 1: You're saying I'm going to lend and not borrow. Have 158 00:09:27,429 --> 00:09:30,090 Speaker 1: you seen my finances? Do you know we're in the 159 00:09:30,150 --> 00:09:33,510 Speaker 1: middle of a pandemic? Or God, you say my children 160 00:09:33,550 --> 00:09:36,179 Speaker 1: will be mighty in the land. Have you seen what 161 00:09:36,220 --> 00:09:38,800 Speaker 1: they've been doing lately? Are you sure you have the 162 00:09:38,860 --> 00:09:42,250 Speaker 1: right children? God is saying to you what he said 163 00:09:42,309 --> 00:09:45,580 Speaker 1: to Abraham. Is there anything too hard for the Lord? 164 00:09:46,300 --> 00:09:50,600 Speaker 1: He spoke worlds into existence. He parted red seas. He 165 00:09:50,700 --> 00:09:53,710 Speaker 1: cured the lepers. He brought the dead back to life. 166 00:09:54,230 --> 00:09:57,710 Speaker 1: What you're up against is no match for him. One 167 00:09:57,809 --> 00:10:02,240 Speaker 1: touch of his favor and you'll see promotion. healing breakthroughs 168 00:10:02,460 --> 00:10:16,000 Speaker 1: divine connections Genesis 21 says, the Lord did exactly what 169 00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:20,120 Speaker 1: he promised. Sarah became pregnant and had a son in 170 00:10:20,179 --> 00:10:23,780 Speaker 1: her old age. The next phrase is the key. It 171 00:10:23,940 --> 00:10:28,370 Speaker 1: all happened at the time God said it would. God 172 00:10:28,550 --> 00:10:32,490 Speaker 1: on purpose waited for them to be older. On purpose, 173 00:10:32,690 --> 00:10:35,790 Speaker 1: he waited for the odds to be against them. So 174 00:10:35,830 --> 00:10:39,359 Speaker 1: much so that they both laughed. They both thought it 175 00:10:39,420 --> 00:10:43,320 Speaker 1: was impossible. You would think God would say, okay, fine. 176 00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:46,500 Speaker 1: If you don't believe, if you don't think it's going 177 00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:49,060 Speaker 1: to happen, you think it's too far out, I'll find 178 00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:53,429 Speaker 1: someone else. But God is so merciful. Even when we 179 00:10:53,490 --> 00:10:57,670 Speaker 1: don't believe, even when our faith is limited, God steps 180 00:10:57,790 --> 00:11:00,630 Speaker 1: in and says, I'm going to do it anyway. I'm 181 00:11:00,650 --> 00:11:03,309 Speaker 1: going to show you a favor anyway. I'm going to 182 00:11:03,370 --> 00:11:06,559 Speaker 1: heal you anyway. I'm going to turn it around anyway. 183 00:11:07,510 --> 00:11:12,260 Speaker 1: I know sometimes I've released my faith. I believed, I've expected, 184 00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:15,460 Speaker 1: and I've seen the goodness of God. But there are 185 00:11:15,540 --> 00:11:18,719 Speaker 1: plenty of times where I didn't have the faith. I 186 00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:21,599 Speaker 1: thought it was too far out. I thought the opposition 187 00:11:21,660 --> 00:11:25,310 Speaker 1: was too big. But despite my lack of faith, God 188 00:11:25,390 --> 00:11:28,750 Speaker 1: showed out in my life. That's how good God is. 189 00:11:29,390 --> 00:11:32,330 Speaker 1: If he only blessed us when we believed, we wouldn't 190 00:11:32,390 --> 00:11:36,569 Speaker 1: reach our destiny. Like with Abraham and Sarah, God's going 191 00:11:36,610 --> 00:11:40,480 Speaker 1: to do exactly what he promised at the time he 192 00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:44,260 Speaker 1: has planned. It may seem too late, but that's how 193 00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:48,120 Speaker 1: God planned it. It may look impossible. That's how God 194 00:11:48,179 --> 00:11:52,140 Speaker 1: planned it. The medical report may not be good. You 195 00:11:52,179 --> 00:11:55,410 Speaker 1: had a setback in your finances. The odds are against you. 196 00:11:56,090 --> 00:11:59,720 Speaker 1: That doesn't stop our God. You haven't missed your chance. 197 00:12:00,280 --> 00:12:04,810 Speaker 1: The window hasn't closed. An unscheduled blessing is coming and 198 00:12:04,950 --> 00:12:10,550 Speaker 1: out of season promotion is already in route. Healing, breakthroughs, 199 00:12:10,750 --> 00:12:14,449 Speaker 1: the right people, they're already on your calendar. It's going 200 00:12:14,470 --> 00:12:18,829 Speaker 1: to happen at the time that God has planned. Sarah 201 00:12:18,890 --> 00:12:22,390 Speaker 1: said in verse 7, who would have ever thought I 202 00:12:22,429 --> 00:12:26,219 Speaker 1: would have a baby at such an old age? God 203 00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:29,220 Speaker 1: has some of these who would have ever thought blessings 204 00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:32,900 Speaker 1: lined up for you. Who would have ever thought my 205 00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:35,949 Speaker 1: business would take off like this? Who would have ever 206 00:12:36,010 --> 00:12:39,469 Speaker 1: thought I'd meet someone this awesome? Who would have ever 207 00:12:39,530 --> 00:12:42,929 Speaker 1: thought I'd feel this good again? Who would have ever 208 00:12:42,990 --> 00:12:45,990 Speaker 1: thought we would be meeting in the former compact center? 209 00:12:46,570 --> 00:12:49,110 Speaker 1: Who would have ever thought my mother would still be 210 00:12:49,170 --> 00:12:53,250 Speaker 1: with us 40 years after being diagnosed with terminal cancer? 211 00:12:54,429 --> 00:12:58,900 Speaker 1: Sarah went from laughing in unbelief, thinking she was too old, 212 00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:03,100 Speaker 1: to laughing with great joy, holding the baby, seeing the 213 00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:06,760 Speaker 1: goodness of God. And some of the promises that God 214 00:13:06,780 --> 00:13:09,740 Speaker 1: has put in your heart may seem like it can't 215 00:13:09,780 --> 00:13:13,270 Speaker 1: happen now. It's too late. You tried and it didn't 216 00:13:13,309 --> 00:13:17,460 Speaker 1: work out. It's still on the schedule. It hasn't happened 217 00:13:17,500 --> 00:13:21,680 Speaker 1: yet for a reason. It wasn't the right time. Like 218 00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:25,320 Speaker 1: with Sarah, one day you're going to be holding that baby, 219 00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:28,890 Speaker 1: so to speak, holding that promise saying, who would have 220 00:13:28,950 --> 00:13:31,930 Speaker 1: ever thought God would have blessed me like this? You're 221 00:13:31,950 --> 00:13:35,050 Speaker 1: going to stand in amazement at what God has in 222 00:13:35,090 --> 00:13:39,099 Speaker 1: your future. Now quit believing those lies that if it 223 00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:41,460 Speaker 1: was going to happen, it would have happened by now. 224 00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:44,120 Speaker 1: Come on. If you were going to get well, you'd 225 00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:46,319 Speaker 1: be well by now. If you were going to get 226 00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:49,880 Speaker 1: that good break, meet the right person, write that book. 227 00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:52,800 Speaker 1: Surely it would have happened by now. Look how long 228 00:13:52,860 --> 00:13:57,840 Speaker 1: it's been. Psalm 37 says, don't be impatient for the 229 00:13:57,880 --> 00:14:02,490 Speaker 1: Lord to act. Keep traveling steadily along his path and 230 00:14:02,590 --> 00:14:06,600 Speaker 1: in due season, he will honor you with every blessing. 231 00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:10,400 Speaker 1: This is saying, if you'll keep doing the right thing, 232 00:14:10,940 --> 00:14:14,080 Speaker 1: then everything that has your name on it is coming in. 233 00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:18,120 Speaker 1: There's healing with your name on it. There's a business 234 00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:20,840 Speaker 1: with your name on it. There's a baby with your 235 00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:23,090 Speaker 1: name on it. Or how about there's a husband, a 236 00:14:23,140 --> 00:14:27,140 Speaker 1: wife with your name on it. Don't be impatient. It 237 00:14:27,180 --> 00:14:31,380 Speaker 1: hasn't happened yet. It wasn't supposed to happen. Well, Joel, 238 00:14:31,420 --> 00:14:34,940 Speaker 1: I'm getting too old. I think I've missed my season. No, 239 00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:38,620 Speaker 1: you're coming into your season. Well, these people at work, 240 00:14:39,140 --> 00:14:42,650 Speaker 1: they turned on me. They always leave me out. They 241 00:14:42,690 --> 00:14:45,910 Speaker 1: were supposed to leave you out. It's not setting you back. 242 00:14:46,310 --> 00:14:50,410 Speaker 1: It's setting you up. Keep honoring God and every blessing 243 00:14:50,430 --> 00:14:53,870 Speaker 1: that has your name on it is coming in. People 244 00:14:53,930 --> 00:14:57,860 Speaker 1: can't stop it. Bad breaks can't stop it. Age can't 245 00:14:57,890 --> 00:15:01,680 Speaker 1: stop it. Time can't stop it. The economy can't stop it. 246 00:15:02,100 --> 00:15:06,980 Speaker 1: Forces of darkness cannot stop it. Like serum, your womb 247 00:15:07,020 --> 00:15:09,780 Speaker 1: may be dead, so to speak. In the natural, it's 248 00:15:09,820 --> 00:15:13,740 Speaker 1: too late. It shouldn't happen now, but God knows how 249 00:15:13,780 --> 00:15:16,760 Speaker 1: to bring a dead womb back to life. He can 250 00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:21,950 Speaker 1: bring dead dreams back to life, a dead relationship, dead finances, 251 00:15:22,290 --> 00:15:26,020 Speaker 1: dead health, not feeling well. When it's your time to 252 00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:29,960 Speaker 1: give birth, God will resurrect everything you need to see 253 00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:33,480 Speaker 1: that baby. Not only your womb, but he'll wake up 254 00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:37,400 Speaker 1: the Abrahams, the people you need to fulfill your destiny. 255 00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:42,040 Speaker 1: I talked to a young lady. She grew up very healthy, 256 00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:45,660 Speaker 1: very active, but at the age of 11, she had 257 00:15:45,700 --> 00:15:48,940 Speaker 1: a pain in her side that wouldn't go away. She 258 00:15:48,980 --> 00:15:52,410 Speaker 1: had her appendix taken out, but that didn't help. She 259 00:15:52,450 --> 00:15:56,410 Speaker 1: continued to go downhill, losing 30 pounds in a few weeks. 260 00:15:57,010 --> 00:16:00,070 Speaker 1: The doctors were baffled. Couldn't figure out what was wrong. 261 00:16:00,770 --> 00:16:04,430 Speaker 1: She got to where she couldn't swallow. She lost movement 262 00:16:04,490 --> 00:16:07,410 Speaker 1: in her legs and arms. She ended up in the 263 00:16:07,470 --> 00:16:11,170 Speaker 1: hospital in a vegetative state, not able to open her 264 00:16:11,410 --> 00:16:15,340 Speaker 1: eyes or communicate in any way. She was finally diagnosed 265 00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:19,700 Speaker 1: with a rare autoimmune disorder that caused swelling on her brain. 266 00:16:20,620 --> 00:16:23,000 Speaker 1: Her parents were told that she would be in a 267 00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:26,120 Speaker 1: coma the rest of her life. She probably wouldn't live 268 00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:30,780 Speaker 1: that long. Against all odds, they believed that God was 269 00:16:30,850 --> 00:16:34,790 Speaker 1: still in control, that he was still a healer. Month 270 00:16:34,890 --> 00:16:37,330 Speaker 1: after month went by and they would sit by her 271 00:16:37,390 --> 00:16:41,570 Speaker 1: bed and talk to her, speaking faith into her. Two 272 00:16:41,610 --> 00:16:45,700 Speaker 1: years later, she woke up on the inside. She still 273 00:16:45,740 --> 00:16:49,180 Speaker 1: couldn't move, but she was aware of everything that was happening. 274 00:16:49,910 --> 00:16:52,810 Speaker 1: She could hear the doctors telling her parents that she 275 00:16:52,850 --> 00:16:56,490 Speaker 1: was gone and there was no chance of recovery. And 276 00:16:56,570 --> 00:16:59,550 Speaker 1: she could hear her mother telling her how she loved 277 00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:02,740 Speaker 1: her and how she was going to make it. Every 278 00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:06,820 Speaker 1: Sunday morning, her mother would turn on our program. This 279 00:17:06,859 --> 00:17:10,290 Speaker 1: young lady would hear how God is a healer, how 280 00:17:10,330 --> 00:17:14,320 Speaker 1: he can do what medicine cannot do. In her mind, 281 00:17:14,780 --> 00:17:18,160 Speaker 1: instead of feeling sorry for herself, she would say, I'm 282 00:17:18,220 --> 00:17:22,170 Speaker 1: a victor and not a victim. God is restoring health 283 00:17:22,250 --> 00:17:26,810 Speaker 1: back into me. Thoughts told her, you're trapped. You'll never 284 00:17:26,869 --> 00:17:30,429 Speaker 1: get out. She would answer back, no, my time is coming. 285 00:17:30,810 --> 00:17:34,530 Speaker 1: This is not how my story ends. It seemed like 286 00:17:34,770 --> 00:17:38,699 Speaker 1: God was too late. in a coma, trapped inside her 287 00:17:38,820 --> 00:17:43,040 Speaker 1: own body, not able to communicate, but God has the 288 00:17:43,100 --> 00:17:47,530 Speaker 1: final say. Sometimes he'll let the odds be way against 289 00:17:47,609 --> 00:17:51,130 Speaker 1: you just so he can show his power, his favor, 290 00:17:51,170 --> 00:17:55,810 Speaker 1: his blessing in amazing ways. Three years later, she opened 291 00:17:55,850 --> 00:17:59,600 Speaker 1: her eyes. That was a start of a long journey back. 292 00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:04,139 Speaker 1: She learned to speak again, to eat again, to move again. 293 00:18:04,740 --> 00:18:09,290 Speaker 1: Everything came back except her legs. She was paralyzed from 294 00:18:09,330 --> 00:18:12,670 Speaker 1: the waist down. She was happy that she was out, 295 00:18:13,250 --> 00:18:17,050 Speaker 1: grateful to be in a wheelchair, but she wasn't satisfied. 296 00:18:17,609 --> 00:18:21,479 Speaker 1: She knew what God started, he would finish. She was 297 00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:24,150 Speaker 1: told that she would never be able to walk, but 298 00:18:24,210 --> 00:18:28,570 Speaker 1: through prayer, hard work, training, she defied the odds and 299 00:18:28,609 --> 00:18:32,470 Speaker 1: took her first steps. Today, my friend Victoria Arlen can 300 00:18:32,510 --> 00:18:35,129 Speaker 1: not only walk, but she can run. She was on 301 00:18:35,190 --> 00:18:40,340 Speaker 1: Dancing with the Stars. She's one of ESPN's youngest on-air personalities. 302 00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:44,400 Speaker 1: Is there anything too hard for the Lord? Just because 303 00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:47,909 Speaker 1: it seems like God is too late doesn't mean that 304 00:18:47,930 --> 00:18:51,120 Speaker 1: he's not going to come through. Don't be fooled by 305 00:18:51,140 --> 00:18:55,179 Speaker 1: the circumstances. You may not see anything. The odds are 306 00:18:55,220 --> 00:18:58,439 Speaker 1: against you. The experts say it's not going to work out. 307 00:18:59,060 --> 00:19:03,350 Speaker 1: God controls the universe. Don't be impatient for him to act. 308 00:19:03,910 --> 00:19:08,530 Speaker 1: Keep believing, keep praying, and every blessing that belongs to 309 00:19:08,590 --> 00:19:11,859 Speaker 1: you will show up. You won't have to go after it. 310 00:19:12,130 --> 00:19:14,370 Speaker 1: It's going to come to you. It's going to happen 311 00:19:14,609 --> 00:19:19,280 Speaker 1: at the time God has planned. In John chapter 11, 312 00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:23,169 Speaker 1: Mary and Martha sent word to their dear friend Jesus 313 00:19:23,550 --> 00:19:27,369 Speaker 1: that their brother Lazarus was very sick. Jesus was in 314 00:19:27,430 --> 00:19:30,350 Speaker 1: another city. They asked if he would come and pray 315 00:19:30,369 --> 00:19:34,119 Speaker 1: for Lazarus. A day went by and Jesus didn't show up. 316 00:19:34,980 --> 00:19:38,420 Speaker 1: I can imagine Mary asking her assistant, did you tell 317 00:19:38,460 --> 00:19:41,699 Speaker 1: him it was me? Yes, we told him. Did you 318 00:19:41,740 --> 00:19:45,080 Speaker 1: let him know it was urgent? Yes, we did. Another 319 00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:49,170 Speaker 1: day passed. He didn't come. And another and another. Finally, 320 00:19:49,350 --> 00:19:54,479 Speaker 1: Lazarus died. On the fourth day, Jesus showed up. What 321 00:19:54,500 --> 00:19:58,590 Speaker 1: do you do when God shows up too late? You prayed, 322 00:19:58,869 --> 00:20:02,690 Speaker 1: you believed, but the problem didn't turn around. The business 323 00:20:02,730 --> 00:20:10,240 Speaker 1: didn't make it. Your She rushed out to meet him, said, Jesus, 324 00:20:10,580 --> 00:20:13,240 Speaker 1: if you would have been here sooner, my brother wouldn't 325 00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:16,440 Speaker 1: have died. She was saying, how could you do this 326 00:20:16,510 --> 00:20:20,250 Speaker 1: to us? We're your friends. When we needed you the most, 327 00:20:20,390 --> 00:20:24,169 Speaker 1: you let us down. They thought that Jesus didn't care, 328 00:20:24,770 --> 00:20:28,629 Speaker 1: that he was too busy, preoccupied with others. But the 329 00:20:28,670 --> 00:20:32,909 Speaker 1: scripture says Jesus wept. He could have gone straight to 330 00:20:32,950 --> 00:20:36,730 Speaker 1: the tomb and raised Lazarus, but his tears let them 331 00:20:36,790 --> 00:20:40,830 Speaker 1: know that he cared. He wept because he loved Lazarus. 332 00:20:41,410 --> 00:20:44,810 Speaker 1: He wept because he felt the sorrow, the heaviness that 333 00:20:44,830 --> 00:20:48,149 Speaker 1: they were all feeling. And when God shows up late, 334 00:20:48,570 --> 00:20:52,070 Speaker 1: thoughts will tell you, God doesn't care about you. How 335 00:20:52,109 --> 00:20:54,790 Speaker 1: could he let this happen? Look at all the pain, 336 00:20:55,170 --> 00:20:58,850 Speaker 1: this heartache. He could have stopped it. Don't believe those lies. 337 00:20:59,190 --> 00:21:02,800 Speaker 1: The scripture says God collects all of your tears in 338 00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:07,840 Speaker 1: a bottle. He feels what you feel. The loneliness, the heartache, 339 00:21:08,380 --> 00:21:11,560 Speaker 1: he weeps when you weep. His heart breaks when your 340 00:21:11,619 --> 00:21:15,310 Speaker 1: heart breaks. You're his child. If you're a parent, you 341 00:21:15,350 --> 00:21:18,210 Speaker 1: know when your child is hurting, you hurt with them. 342 00:21:18,830 --> 00:21:23,109 Speaker 1: God is your heavenly father. He told them to roll 343 00:21:23,170 --> 00:21:26,970 Speaker 1: away the stone. Lazarus had been dead for four days. 344 00:21:27,730 --> 00:21:31,890 Speaker 1: Martha said, Lord, it's going to stink. Sometimes you have 345 00:21:31,930 --> 00:21:35,100 Speaker 1: to get to the stinky stuff before God will heal you. 346 00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:38,380 Speaker 1: You have to be real and deal with what God 347 00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:43,240 Speaker 1: is bringing to light. Jesus spoke to Lazarus. He didn't pray. 348 00:21:43,859 --> 00:21:46,190 Speaker 1: Some things you need to pray about, but some things 349 00:21:46,230 --> 00:21:49,770 Speaker 1: you need to speak to. He said, Lazarus, come forth. 350 00:21:50,430 --> 00:21:54,199 Speaker 1: All of a sudden, Lazarus came back to life. Mary 351 00:21:54,300 --> 00:21:57,920 Speaker 1: and Martha were praying for a healing, but Jesus had 352 00:21:57,980 --> 00:22:02,990 Speaker 1: something better in mind, a resurrection. Sometimes the reason God 353 00:22:03,030 --> 00:22:06,570 Speaker 1: delays is because he's going to do something better than 354 00:22:06,609 --> 00:22:11,890 Speaker 1: you think, something bigger, more rewarding. From that day forward, 355 00:22:12,230 --> 00:22:15,770 Speaker 1: no one ever saw Lazarus the same way. No one 356 00:22:15,850 --> 00:22:18,470 Speaker 1: saw Mary and Martha the same way. They had a 357 00:22:18,540 --> 00:22:23,859 Speaker 1: new respect, a greater influence, greater honor. Like them, you 358 00:22:23,900 --> 00:22:27,540 Speaker 1: may be wondering why God is so late. Why hasn't 359 00:22:27,580 --> 00:22:30,179 Speaker 1: my health turned around? When is my business going to 360 00:22:30,220 --> 00:22:33,760 Speaker 1: get better? When is this trouble going to resolve? You're 361 00:22:33,800 --> 00:22:37,770 Speaker 1: believing for a healing. God is delaying because he has 362 00:22:37,850 --> 00:22:41,550 Speaker 1: a resurrection coming. He has something much better than what 363 00:22:41,590 --> 00:22:45,030 Speaker 1: you have in mind. Trust him when you don't see 364 00:22:45,170 --> 00:22:50,480 Speaker 1: anything happening. Believe when heaven is silent. He's working behind 365 00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:53,889 Speaker 1: the scenes. Every blessing that has your name on it, 366 00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:56,790 Speaker 1: if you will be patient, it's not only going to 367 00:22:56,830 --> 00:22:59,869 Speaker 1: find you, it's going to be much better than you think. 368 00:23:00,730 --> 00:23:03,530 Speaker 1: The delay is a sign that God is up to 369 00:23:03,590 --> 00:23:06,590 Speaker 1: something big. It's a sign that he's about to show 370 00:23:06,730 --> 00:23:10,310 Speaker 1: out in your life. The mistake we make too often 371 00:23:10,750 --> 00:23:14,380 Speaker 1: is we get discouraged in the delays. We believe those 372 00:23:14,460 --> 00:23:17,859 Speaker 1: lies that God's not concerned about us. He would have 373 00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:20,600 Speaker 1: been here by now. Does he even know what I'm 374 00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:26,100 Speaker 1: going through? The scripture says God sees every sparrow, every 375 00:23:26,140 --> 00:23:29,320 Speaker 1: little bird that falls to the ground. How much more 376 00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:33,440 Speaker 1: does God see you? You're his child. He made you 377 00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:37,590 Speaker 1: in his image. He calls you a masterpiece. He sees 378 00:23:37,750 --> 00:23:42,090 Speaker 1: what you're going through. He's concerned and he's coming. At 379 00:23:42,130 --> 00:23:45,630 Speaker 1: the time he has planned in your due season, you're 380 00:23:45,650 --> 00:23:51,190 Speaker 1: going to see breakthroughs, healing, freedom, abundance, more than you've imagined. 381 00:23:52,150 --> 00:23:55,320 Speaker 1: After Jesus rose from the dead, Peter was out fishing 382 00:23:55,340 --> 00:23:58,919 Speaker 1: and He'd spent the last few years with Jesus as 383 00:23:59,030 --> 00:24:01,710 Speaker 1: one of his close friends and he never dreamed it 384 00:24:01,910 --> 00:24:05,970 Speaker 1: would end with Jesus being crucified. He was discouraged, a 385 00:24:06,190 --> 00:24:09,409 Speaker 1: little bit confused. So he went back to doing what 386 00:24:09,450 --> 00:24:12,950 Speaker 1: he did before Jesus called him. He had fished all 387 00:24:13,030 --> 00:24:16,659 Speaker 1: night and had caught nothing. The next morning as they 388 00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:20,460 Speaker 1: were coming in, Jesus was on the beach. He shouted, 389 00:24:20,900 --> 00:24:24,800 Speaker 1: have you caught anything? They didn't recognize him. They told 390 00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:27,619 Speaker 1: him no. He said throw your net on the right 391 00:24:27,700 --> 00:24:30,679 Speaker 1: side of the boat and you'll catch plenty of fish 392 00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:33,979 Speaker 1: When they did they caught so many fish that they 393 00:24:34,030 --> 00:24:37,570 Speaker 1: couldn't pull it all in Peter looked over and realized 394 00:24:37,690 --> 00:24:41,270 Speaker 1: it was jesus He jumped in the water and swam 395 00:24:41,330 --> 00:24:44,990 Speaker 1: to the shore When he arrived he could smell something 396 00:24:45,090 --> 00:24:50,790 Speaker 1: so tasty so appetizing Jesus was cooking fish He told 397 00:24:50,850 --> 00:24:53,729 Speaker 1: peter to sit down and have breakfast with him. He 398 00:24:53,830 --> 00:24:58,389 Speaker 1: served him grilled fish What Peter couldn't catch all night, 399 00:24:58,850 --> 00:25:02,000 Speaker 1: now he not only has a whole boatload of fish, 400 00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:06,040 Speaker 1: but Jesus has already cooked it and prepared it for him. 401 00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:09,810 Speaker 1: When you go through a delay, you fished all night. 402 00:25:10,570 --> 00:25:14,390 Speaker 1: Nothing is working. You're wondering where God is. How come 403 00:25:14,450 --> 00:25:17,310 Speaker 1: I'm not getting any good breaks? If you'll keep doing 404 00:25:17,330 --> 00:25:20,090 Speaker 1: the right thing, God is not only going to give 405 00:25:20,130 --> 00:25:22,930 Speaker 1: you an abundance, but you're going to come into some 406 00:25:22,990 --> 00:25:28,359 Speaker 1: prepared blessings. Fish that's already cooked. Promotion waiting for you. 407 00:25:29,020 --> 00:25:32,960 Speaker 1: The right people, the business, the healing. You're not going 408 00:25:32,980 --> 00:25:36,320 Speaker 1: to have to make it happen. Start from scratch. It's 409 00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:39,970 Speaker 1: going to fall into place. I can smell something in 410 00:25:40,010 --> 00:25:44,810 Speaker 1: the air. I smell fresh fish. I smell prepared blessings. 411 00:25:45,170 --> 00:25:48,740 Speaker 1: You've had delays. You're wondering where God is. He's cooking 412 00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:52,020 Speaker 1: your fish. He's got the fire on. He's about to 413 00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:55,219 Speaker 1: offer you breakfast, so to speak. You're about to see 414 00:25:55,320 --> 00:25:58,480 Speaker 1: what God has been up to. Don't be impatient for 415 00:25:58,520 --> 00:26:02,940 Speaker 1: God to act. Keep honoring him. Every blessing that has 416 00:26:02,980 --> 00:26:06,550 Speaker 1: your name on it will come in. Nobody is getting 417 00:26:06,590 --> 00:26:11,380 Speaker 1: your fish. Sometimes when God is not showing up, we're 418 00:26:11,420 --> 00:26:14,480 Speaker 1: not seeing things happen. We feel like we're falling behind. 419 00:26:15,140 --> 00:26:18,369 Speaker 1: Others are getting ahead, but God has all the fish 420 00:26:18,550 --> 00:26:22,270 Speaker 1: that belongs to you. You tried all night, so to speak, 421 00:26:22,670 --> 00:26:26,970 Speaker 1: caught nothing. It's been months or even years. You haven't 422 00:26:27,030 --> 00:26:31,670 Speaker 1: seen good breaks, promotion, things turning around. Don't worry. Your 423 00:26:31,770 --> 00:26:35,770 Speaker 1: fish are being stored up. He told the disciples to 424 00:26:35,810 --> 00:26:38,260 Speaker 1: throw their nets on the other side of the boat. 425 00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:42,540 Speaker 1: That means they're not far away. You don't have to 426 00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:46,100 Speaker 1: do something drastically different. God is going to bless you 427 00:26:46,140 --> 00:26:49,030 Speaker 1: where you are. He's going to cause the fish to 428 00:26:49,090 --> 00:26:52,990 Speaker 1: find you. Not a little bit, but a great haul 429 00:26:53,109 --> 00:26:56,430 Speaker 1: of fish. Now you may be in a dry season. 430 00:26:56,970 --> 00:27:01,300 Speaker 1: Things are not changing. God sees your faithfulness. He hasn't 431 00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:04,600 Speaker 1: forgotten about you. He's going to make up for what 432 00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:08,510 Speaker 1: hasn't happened. Like with Mary and Martha, not a healing, 433 00:27:08,950 --> 00:27:14,100 Speaker 1: but a resurrection. I believe and declare boatloads of blessings 434 00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:19,400 Speaker 1: are coming your way. Prepared blessings, favor, healing, the right people. 435 00:27:19,790 --> 00:27:23,510 Speaker 1: Like with Sarah, who would have thought blessings? Dreams bigger 436 00:27:23,550 --> 00:27:28,110 Speaker 1: than you've imagined. Problems that look impossible suddenly turning around. 437 00:27:28,470 --> 00:27:32,350 Speaker 1: The fullness of your destiny in Jesus' name. And if 438 00:27:32,390 --> 00:27:36,340 Speaker 1: you receive it, can you say amen today? Well, I'd 439 00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:39,199 Speaker 1: like to give you an opportunity to make Jesus the 440 00:27:39,260 --> 00:27:42,720 Speaker 1: Lord of your life. Would you pray with me? Just say, 441 00:27:42,780 --> 00:27:48,230 Speaker 1: Lord Jesus, I repent of my sins. Come into my heart. 442 00:27:49,250 --> 00:27:52,850 Speaker 1: I make you my Lord and Savior. If you prayed 443 00:27:52,890 --> 00:27:56,270 Speaker 1: that simple prayer, we believe you got born again. I'd 444 00:27:56,310 --> 00:27:58,770 Speaker 1: love to send you some free information on your new 445 00:27:58,830 --> 00:28:01,050 Speaker 1: journey with the Lord.

I hope 447 00:28:04,060 --> 00:28:07,659 Speaker 1: you'll get into a good Bible-based church and keep God 448 00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:19,310 Speaker 1: first place. The scripture says, write the vision and make 449 00:28:19,350 --> 00:28:23,050 Speaker 1: it plain to see.
