00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:12,920
Speaker 5: thank you again for coming out today. And I like

45
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:15,400
Speaker 5: to start with something funny and I heard about this

46
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:19,160
Speaker 5: man that died and went to heaven. Saint Peter escorted

47
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:23,240
Speaker 5: him down this long hallway filled with clocks. The hens

48
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:26,720
Speaker 5: on the clocks were all moving at different speeds. Peter

49
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:30,480
Speaker 5: explained that every person has a clock. When they send

50
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 5: the clock ticks. The man saw a clock barely moving.

51
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:37,480
Speaker 5: It's Billy Graham's clock. There was another clock creeping along

52
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:41,359
Speaker 5: Mother Teresa's clock. He said, curiously, can I see my clock?

53
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:44,240
Speaker 5: Peter said, yeah, we keep yours in the office and

54
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:48,920
Speaker 5: use it as a fan. Hold up your Bible, say

55
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:51,760
Speaker 5: it like you mean it. This is my Bible. I

56
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:54,160
Speaker 5: am what it says I am. I have what it

57
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:56,640
Speaker 5: says I have. I can do what it says I

58
00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:59,760
Speaker 5: can do. Today I will be taught the word of God.

59
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:04,400
Speaker 5: I'll boldly confess my mind is alert, my heart is receptive.

60
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:08,240
Speaker 5: I will never be the same. In Jesus' name, God

61
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:11,639
Speaker 5: bless you. I want to talk to you today about

62
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:15,440
Speaker 5: remember your dream. All of us have things that we're

63
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:19,520
Speaker 5: believing for, something that we want to accomplish. Deep down,

64
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:22,200
Speaker 5: we know it's a part of our destiny. We can

65
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:25,760
Speaker 5: feel it so strongly. But then we hit some setbacks.

66
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:29,600
Speaker 5: We didn't get the promotion, the medical report wasn't good,

67
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:34,040
Speaker 5: or a relationship didn't work out. Life has a way

68
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:39,160
Speaker 5: of pushing our dreams down. They can become buried under discouragement,

69
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:44,040
Speaker 5: buried under past mistakes. There are dreams buried under divorce,

70
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:49,200
Speaker 5: buried under low self esteem. It's easy to settle for mediocrity,

71
00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 5: even though we have all this potential buried on the inside.

72
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 5: But just because you gave up doesn't mean God gave up.

73
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:02,040
Speaker 5: Your dream may be married. The good news is it's

74
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:04,960
Speaker 5: still alive. It's not too late to see it come

75
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:08,360
Speaker 5: to pass. And we've all been through disappointments and set

76
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:12,520
Speaker 5: backs and life happens. But instead of remembering the hurt,

77
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:16,520
Speaker 5: the pain, what didn't work out. The key to reaching

78
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:18,360
Speaker 5: your destiny is you have.

79
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:23,760
Speaker 6: To remember your dream. Remember what God promised you, Remember

80
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:26,080
Speaker 6: what He whispered to you in the middle of the night.

81
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:30,200
Speaker 6: The scripture calls it the secret petitions of our heart,

82
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:33,280
Speaker 6: things you haven't told anybody about.

83
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:37,159
Speaker 5: It may seem possible. Every voice tells you it's not

84
00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:40,440
Speaker 5: going to happen. You've been pushing it down. But God

85
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:43,880
Speaker 5: is saying what I promised you, I'm still going to do.

86
00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:47,320
Speaker 5: I spoke it to you. It may not have happened yet,

87
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:49,479
Speaker 5: but I am true to my word. It is on

88
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:53,560
Speaker 5: the way if you'll do your part and start believing again,

89
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:58,080
Speaker 5: get your passion back. God is going to resurrect what

90
00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:01,479
Speaker 5: you thought was dead, dreams that you're giving up on.

91
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:04,880
Speaker 5: You tried, it didn't work out. It's been so long.

92
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:09,120
Speaker 5: They're going to suddenly come back to life. Problems that

93
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:13,359
Speaker 5: looked permanent going to suddenly turn around what should have

94
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:16,080
Speaker 5: taken years. God's going to do in a fraction of

95
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:19,120
Speaker 5: the time. He hasn't changed his mind. He has the

96
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:23,440
Speaker 5: final say. Now, don't let circumstances talk you out of it.

97
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:27,760
Speaker 5: You may not understand why a business didn't make it,

98
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:31,000
Speaker 5: why a person walked away, why you came down with

99
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:33,800
Speaker 5: an illness. You were doing the right thing, but the

100
00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:37,480
Speaker 5: wrong thing happened. It's all a part of the process.

101
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:42,719
Speaker 5: Every disappointment, every delay, every closed door, it's not just

102
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:46,240
Speaker 5: a set back. It's a setup for God to get

103
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:49,159
Speaker 5: you to where you're supposed to be. It may be

104
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 5: taken a long time, may look impossible. All it takes

105
00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:57,279
Speaker 5: is one touch of God's favor. What are you remembering

106
00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:01,039
Speaker 5: the hurt, the pain? What didn't work out, Turn it

107
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:05,359
Speaker 5: around and remember your dream. What is God put in

108
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:08,680
Speaker 5: your heart? What did you used to be excited about?

109
00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:11,919
Speaker 5: Now you think it's been too long, it's too big,

110
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:15,360
Speaker 5: it's not possible. You don't think you could write the book,

111
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:19,800
Speaker 5: finish school, see your marriage restored, start the business. No,

112
00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 5: get your passion back. You have not missed your opportunity.

113
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:28,360
Speaker 5: You have not had too many bad breaks. You're not lacking.

114
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:32,640
Speaker 5: You didn't get short changed. When God breathed life into you,

115
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:37,240
Speaker 5: he put in you everything you need to fulfill your destiny.

116
00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:41,719
Speaker 5: People can't stop you bad breaks, disappointments lost. The most

117
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:45,520
Speaker 5: High God is on your side. You have royal blood

118
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:49,280
Speaker 5: flowing through your veins. There are seeds of greatness in

119
00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:53,880
Speaker 5: you right now, dreams so big that you can accomplish

120
00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:57,560
Speaker 5: them on your own. It's going to take you connecting

121
00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:01,599
Speaker 5: with your creator. Believe that you're a person of destiny,

122
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:05,080
Speaker 5: that he's directing your steps. That if he before you,

123
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:08,960
Speaker 5: who dare be against you? When we go through opposition

124
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:13,320
Speaker 5: these challenging times, we don't have to fall apart. God

125
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:17,480
Speaker 5: controls the whole universe. He won't allow anything to happen

126
00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:20,080
Speaker 5: unless he knows how to bring good out of it.

127
00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:22,800
Speaker 5: But you have to do your part and keep your

128
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:26,480
Speaker 5: faith stirred up. The enemy would love to deceive you

129
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:30,000
Speaker 5: into burying your dream, thinking that it's never going to

130
00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:33,880
Speaker 5: work out. Don't believe those lies. It's not too late

131
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:37,280
Speaker 5: to become all that you were created to be. And

132
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:41,200
Speaker 5: every time you remember your dream, every time you say Lord,

133
00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:44,320
Speaker 5: thank you for bringing it to pass, you're removing some dirt.

134
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:48,200
Speaker 5: You're digging it back out. Maybe you've struggled with an

135
00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:51,560
Speaker 5: illness for a long time. Early on you believed you

136
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:54,680
Speaker 5: could get well, but now it's been years and you're

137
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:58,520
Speaker 5: just learning to live with it. What's happened is your healing,

138
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:02,800
Speaker 5: your breakthrough, your freedom has gotten buried. It's still in you,

139
00:08:03,320 --> 00:08:06,920
Speaker 5: it's still alive. If you'll start believing again, God can

140
00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:09,800
Speaker 5: bring it to pass instead of thinking, well, it's never

141
00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:13,120
Speaker 5: gonna work out. I've had so many bad medical reports.

142
00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:16,720
Speaker 5: That's putting more dirt on it, that's burying it deeper.

143
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:20,200
Speaker 5: Why don't you get your shovel out and start removing

144
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:22,480
Speaker 5: some of that dirt. How do you do that? Lord,

145
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:25,240
Speaker 5: Thank you that you're restoring health back into me. Think

146
00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:27,560
Speaker 5: you that the number of my days. You will fulfilled.

147
00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:31,080
Speaker 5: Think you that don't getting stronger, healthier if you'll keep

148
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:35,360
Speaker 5: talking thinking like that, that dream that's been buried is

149
00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:38,520
Speaker 5: going to come back to life. This is what allows

150
00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:42,400
Speaker 5: God to do great things. God is moved by our faith.

151
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:46,360
Speaker 5: He's not moved by our discouragement, by our complaining, by

152
00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:49,280
Speaker 5: our self pity. Joel, I'm never going to meet the

153
00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:52,960
Speaker 5: right person. I've been hurt too many times. You're remembering

154
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:56,480
Speaker 5: the wrong thing. As long as you remember the hurt,

155
00:08:56,679 --> 00:08:59,840
Speaker 5: you're going to get stuck. Turn it around. Start remembering

156
00:08:59,880 --> 00:09:03,760
Speaker 5: you Father, Thank you that you have a divine connection.

157
00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:06,679
Speaker 5: Come in my way, somebody perfect for me, better than

158
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:10,960
Speaker 5: I ever imagine. Instead of I'll never be in management.

159
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:13,719
Speaker 5: I'll never get the promotion this company. They don't even

160
00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:16,720
Speaker 5: like me. You're putting more dirt on your dream. You're

161
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:20,280
Speaker 5: burying it deeper. Get your shovel and start digging that

162
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:23,400
Speaker 5: dream out. Some of you have done this so long.

163
00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:26,400
Speaker 5: You need a back hole, you need some heavy equipment.

164
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:29,240
Speaker 5: That dream is way deep, but you can dig it out.

165
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:33,160
Speaker 5: You can bring it back to life. It starts in

166
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:36,560
Speaker 5: our thinking, in what you're believing, in what you're saying.

167
00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:37,800
Speaker 4: No more.

168
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:41,760
Speaker 5: It's never gonna happen. I'll never break this addiction. I'll

169
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:44,559
Speaker 5: never live in a nice house, I'll never finish college. No,

170
00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:48,640
Speaker 5: I'm surrounded by God's favor. Blessings are chasing me down

171
00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:52,480
Speaker 5: because I delight myself and the Lord God. You promised

172
00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:56,080
Speaker 5: you would give me the desires of my heart. Whatever

173
00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:59,600
Speaker 5: God's put on the inside, no matter how long it's been,

174
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:03,480
Speaker 5: no matter how impossible it looks, I'm asking you to

175
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:07,320
Speaker 5: stir it up. You have to get in agreement with God.

176
00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:10,960
Speaker 5: He's the giver of all dreams. He's the one that

177
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:15,760
Speaker 5: put the desires in you. You may need to get alone,

178
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:20,080
Speaker 5: in your quiet time, search your heart. Say God, anything

179
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:23,320
Speaker 5: I've push down, anything I've given up on, showed me

180
00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:26,600
Speaker 5: what it is. God, don't let me die with any

181
00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:31,600
Speaker 5: dreams still buried on the inside. This is what Caleb did.

182
00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:34,920
Speaker 5: He and his friend Joshua went and spied out the

183
00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:38,800
Speaker 5: promised land. They came back and told Moses, we are

184
00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:41,400
Speaker 5: well able to take the land, let us go in

185
00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:45,160
Speaker 5: at once. But the other ten spies came back and

186
00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:48,600
Speaker 5: said just the opposite. They talked Moses out of it.

187
00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:53,840
Speaker 5: The Israelites became afraid and some two million people, even

188
00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:57,560
Speaker 5: though they were camped right next door. They turned around

189
00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:01,320
Speaker 5: and that group never did make it into the Promised Land.

190
00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:06,200
Speaker 5: Now I can imagine that Caleb was disappointed, discouraged. He

191
00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:09,200
Speaker 5: knew they were supposed to go in. God put the

192
00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:12,800
Speaker 5: dream in his heart, and it looked like somebody else

193
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:16,360
Speaker 5: caused his dreams to get buried, caused him to miss

194
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:19,280
Speaker 5: his destiny. And a lot of people could have settled

195
00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:21,480
Speaker 5: there and thought too bad it didn't work out, But

196
00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:25,800
Speaker 5: not Caleb. The true mark of a champion is even

197
00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:29,080
Speaker 5: though some dirt gets thrown on your dream, instead of

198
00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:31,880
Speaker 5: letting it get buried, you keep shaking it off. You

199
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:36,520
Speaker 5: keep moving forward, You keep looking for new opportunities. Forty

200
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:40,880
Speaker 5: five years later, at the age of eighty five, Caleb

201
00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:45,040
Speaker 5: could still feel that dream stirring on the inside. He

202
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:49,160
Speaker 5: wasn't sitting around feeling sorry for himself, saying God, if

203
00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:51,719
Speaker 5: only those people would have done right back then. No,

204
00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:55,920
Speaker 5: he went back to that same mountain, that same place

205
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:59,480
Speaker 5: the others refused to go in, and at eighty five

206
00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:04,520
Speaker 5: he said, God, give me this same mountain. What significant

207
00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:08,400
Speaker 5: is that mountain had five giants living on it. There

208
00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:11,520
Speaker 5: were other mountains with less opposition. That would have been

209
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:14,800
Speaker 5: much easier. I can hear a friends say, come on, Caleb,

210
00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:18,360
Speaker 5: you're eighty five, let's go take this easy mountain. He said, no, thanks.

211
00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:21,800
Speaker 5: I'm not going to settle for mediocrity when I know

212
00:12:21,960 --> 00:12:25,240
Speaker 5: God has placed greatness in me. I want that same mountain.

213
00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:29,160
Speaker 5: That's the dream that's been stirring in my spirit all

214
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:33,319
Speaker 5: these years. At eighty five, he went out and conquered

215
00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:37,040
Speaker 5: the mountain, saw the dream come to pass. Have you

216
00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:41,360
Speaker 5: allowed any dreams to get buried in you? At one time,

217
00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:44,800
Speaker 5: you believed you could do something great. You believed you

218
00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:47,800
Speaker 5: could lead the company in sales. You believed you could

219
00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:51,360
Speaker 5: break that addiction. It's been a long time, had some

220
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:55,600
Speaker 5: bad breaks. Wasn't all your fault? You could easily settle

221
00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:59,280
Speaker 5: where you are. Nobody would fault you. God sent me

222
00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:03,680
Speaker 5: to a new fire. On the inside, that dream is

223
00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:07,360
Speaker 5: still alive. You may have tried a year ago, five

224
00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:12,040
Speaker 5: years ago, or forty years ago, didn't work out. Nobody

225
00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:14,800
Speaker 5: was there to help you. God is saying to you

226
00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:17,800
Speaker 5: what he said to Caleb, go back and try again.

227
00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:22,760
Speaker 5: This is your time, This is your moment. Your destiny

228
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:25,920
Speaker 5: is calling out to you. You have to be like Caleb.

229
00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:30,000
Speaker 5: You can't have a week defeated, give up spirit. I'll

230
00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:32,400
Speaker 5: take the easy way out. I'll settle for second best.

231
00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:35,000
Speaker 5: I don't want to put forth the effort. If you

232
00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:38,040
Speaker 5: don't stir it up, you can miss who you were

233
00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:41,280
Speaker 5: created to be. You may have been knocked down, but

234
00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:43,680
Speaker 5: you got to get back up again and said, God,

235
00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:47,000
Speaker 5: give me this same mountain. I don't want a substitute.

236
00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:50,160
Speaker 5: I don't want second best. God. I'm going after what

237
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:53,880
Speaker 5: you placed in my heart. If you will remember your

238
00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:57,640
Speaker 5: dream like that, God will help you to accomplish what

239
00:13:57,720 --> 00:14:01,640
Speaker 5: you didn't accomplish. Early on, I saw a report about

240
00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:05,360
Speaker 5: this man. He was raised in a very disfunctional environment

241
00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:10,280
Speaker 5: in government housing, very low income. His father was not

242
00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:13,840
Speaker 5: a part of his life. His mother, a teenager, was

243
00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:17,160
Speaker 5: never around. From the time he was a little boy,

244
00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:20,760
Speaker 5: he had a dream to become a writer. He went

245
00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:23,720
Speaker 5: to school, but there was no structure in his house,

246
00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:28,080
Speaker 5: no guidance. At fifteen, he dropped out of school. He

247
00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:31,680
Speaker 5: had never learned how to read or write. He was

248
00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:35,600
Speaker 5: so embarrassed by it he started drinking, trying to numb

249
00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:39,320
Speaker 5: the pain. For thirty five years, All he did was

250
00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:42,120
Speaker 5: hang out on the streets and drink with his buddies.

251
00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:46,560
Speaker 5: One day, something rose up in him like fire on

252
00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:50,280
Speaker 5: the inside. He told his buddies, this is the last

253
00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:53,600
Speaker 5: time you will ever see me take another drink of alcohol.

254
00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:57,160
Speaker 5: I am fed up living like this. They laughed and said,

255
00:14:57,240 --> 00:15:00,440
Speaker 5: yeah right. But that day was a turning point. He

256
00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:04,400
Speaker 5: was instantly set free from the alcohol. He never touched

257
00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:08,320
Speaker 5: it again. Fifty one years old, he went back to

258
00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:12,120
Speaker 5: school and learned how to write god Is diploma. He

259
00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:17,480
Speaker 5: was so proud. He started writing poetry. He was very eloquent,

260
00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:23,320
Speaker 5: very talented. That dream had been buried under dysfunction, under addictions,

261
00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:27,040
Speaker 5: but it was still alive. At one point he entered

262
00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:31,400
Speaker 5: this very prestigious national writing contest and he won the

263
00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:36,720
Speaker 5: grand prize first place. Today, at seventy five, he continues writing,

264
00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:41,280
Speaker 5: inspiring others, letting them know that it's never too late

265
00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:45,400
Speaker 5: to accomplish your dreams. What am I saying? What you

266
00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:48,920
Speaker 5: gave up on God, didn't give up on what you

267
00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:52,280
Speaker 5: wanted to do earlier in life. Just because it didn't

268
00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:57,000
Speaker 5: work out doesn't mean that it went away. It's still

269
00:15:57,040 --> 00:16:01,720
Speaker 5: in you, Jeremiah said, your word Oh Lord, is like

270
00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:05,960
Speaker 5: fire shut up in my bones. I believe there are

271
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:10,080
Speaker 5: some dreams shut up in you like fire. You're going

272
00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:13,720
Speaker 5: to feel your destiny calling out. May not have happened

273
00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:17,440
Speaker 5: the first time. The loan didn't go through, you didn't

274
00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:20,600
Speaker 5: get chosen for the part, the medical report wasn't good.

275
00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:24,320
Speaker 5: That's okay. This is a new day. What God started,

276
00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:27,840
Speaker 5: he's going to finish. You may have missed some opportunities,

277
00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:31,440
Speaker 5: but God knows how to make up for lost time.

278
00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:35,400
Speaker 5: He's going to give you another chance. He said in

279
00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:39,040
Speaker 5: the Book of Joel, I will restore the years that

280
00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:43,400
Speaker 5: have been stolen. You may have lost years because somebody

281
00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:46,720
Speaker 5: else puts you at a disadvantage, or years because of

282
00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:50,160
Speaker 5: your own choices. God knows how to make up for it.

283
00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:52,720
Speaker 5: He's still going to get you to where you're supposed

284
00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:57,160
Speaker 5: to be. This is what happened to Joseph in the scripture.

285
00:16:57,720 --> 00:17:00,440
Speaker 5: God gave him a dream that one day he would

286
00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:04,440
Speaker 5: rule a nation. In this dream, he saw his brothers

287
00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:08,720
Speaker 5: bowing down before him. Joseph should have used more wisdom

288
00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:11,720
Speaker 5: and not told his brothers that part of the dream.

289
00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:16,399
Speaker 5: Certain things you should keep to yourself. Some people can't

290
00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:20,119
Speaker 5: handle what God's put in you. They won't celebrate you.

291
00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:24,400
Speaker 5: They'll be jealous, fine, fault, be critical. One day, Joseph

292
00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:27,720
Speaker 5: went to see his ten brothers. When he walked up,

293
00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:33,040
Speaker 5: one of them said, sarcastically, here comes the dreamer. They

294
00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:37,399
Speaker 5: weren't upset because he was their father's favorite child. They

295
00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:40,800
Speaker 5: weren't upset because he was wearing a coat of many colors,

296
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:45,040
Speaker 5: a coat that represents favor. They were upset because he

297
00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:49,399
Speaker 5: had a dream. They were offended because he was determined

298
00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:52,000
Speaker 5: to break out of the mold, to do something great,

299
00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:55,360
Speaker 5: to leave his mark. They would have been fine if

300
00:17:55,359 --> 00:17:59,200
Speaker 5: he was content to be average, to accept the status quo.

301
00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:02,159
Speaker 5: But when you stir up what God has put on

302
00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:06,280
Speaker 5: the inside, believe that you have seeds of greatness. Believe

303
00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:09,920
Speaker 5: that you can overcome that illness, break the addiction, pay

304
00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:13,480
Speaker 5: your house off, be blessed in spite of past mistakes.

305
00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:18,440
Speaker 5: Let me warn you, everybody will not celebrate you when

306
00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:21,760
Speaker 5: you have a dream. You're going to have some detractors.

307
00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:25,760
Speaker 5: People will get jealous, try to make you look bad,

308
00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:28,479
Speaker 5: try to talk you out of it, say things like

309
00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:30,960
Speaker 5: you really think you can get that promotion? You don't

310
00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:33,879
Speaker 5: have the experience the talent. I don't think so. You

311
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:36,600
Speaker 5: really think you're still going to get married. You've tried

312
00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:39,600
Speaker 5: three times, hadn't happened. Wet, you're getting kind of old.

313
00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:42,600
Speaker 5: Let that go in one ear and out the other.

314
00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:50,600
Speaker 5: People don't determine your destiny. God does. The critics, the naysayers,

315
00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:55,080
Speaker 5: the detractors. They cannot stop your dream. They may do

316
00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:58,480
Speaker 5: something that puts you at a disadvantage, but God knows

317
00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:00,919
Speaker 5: how to take what's meant for harm and use it

318
00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:05,600
Speaker 5: for your good. Joseph's own brothers tried to push his

319
00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:11,040
Speaker 5: dream down. I say this respectfully, but sometimes your relatives

320
00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:15,760
Speaker 5: won't celebrate you. Sometimes the people closest to you will

321
00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:20,560
Speaker 5: be the least supportive. Don't get distracted fighting battles that

322
00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:23,640
Speaker 5: don't matter, trying to prove to them who you are,

323
00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:27,040
Speaker 5: trying to convince them how they should be for you.

324
00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:30,600
Speaker 5: You don't need their approval. You have Almighty God's approval.

325
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:35,640
Speaker 5: Let it go and run your race. What stirs them

326
00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:39,920
Speaker 5: up is the fact that you're moving forward pursuing your destiny.

327
00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:42,919
Speaker 5: They would love to convince you to keep your dream

328
00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:46,560
Speaker 5: buried so you don't rise higher and make them look bad.

329
00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:50,680
Speaker 5: They don't realize God has put dreams in them. If

330
00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:53,400
Speaker 5: they would stir it up, they could fulfill their purpose.

331
00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:58,520
Speaker 5: Successful people people that have a dream don't waste their

332
00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:02,280
Speaker 5: valuable time looking at what everybody else is doing. They're

333
00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:04,840
Speaker 5: too busy focused on what God has put in their

334
00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:10,719
Speaker 5: own heart. Bottom line, the enemy targets people who have

335
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:16,840
Speaker 5: a dream. He'll use opposition, discouragement, delays, jealousy, everything he

336
00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:19,919
Speaker 5: can to try to convince you to bury that dream.

337
00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:23,280
Speaker 5: If you're going to reach your highest potential, you have

338
00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:25,760
Speaker 5: to make up your mind that you are in it

339
00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:28,760
Speaker 5: for the long haul. You're not going to let people

340
00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:33,520
Speaker 5: talk you out of it. Circumstances discourage you, Delays cause

341
00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:37,000
Speaker 5: you to give up, critical people cause you to get distracted.

342
00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:40,200
Speaker 5: You're going to stay focused on your goal. And here's

343
00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:44,119
Speaker 5: the key. You wouldn't be having that opposition if you

344
00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:47,760
Speaker 5: didn't have something great in you. If your dream wasn't

345
00:20:47,840 --> 00:20:51,920
Speaker 5: alive and on track, right on schedule to come to pass,

346
00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:55,320
Speaker 5: you wouldn't have so many things coming against you. But

347
00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:58,160
Speaker 5: when the enemy looks at you, he says, oh no,

348
00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:02,679
Speaker 5: here comes another dreamer. Here comes another person full of faith,

349
00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:07,240
Speaker 5: believing that they have seeds of greatness, not moved by

350
00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:11,360
Speaker 5: their circumstances, not upset because they have a delay. They're

351
00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:15,320
Speaker 5: a dreamer. They know they have the favor of God.

352
00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:19,720
Speaker 5: They know because they believe all things are possible. They

353
00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:22,280
Speaker 5: know God can make a way when they don't see

354
00:21:22,280 --> 00:21:26,560
Speaker 5: away friends. When you're a dreamer, you're dangerous to the enemy.

355
00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:29,920
Speaker 5: You give him a nervous breakdown. He knows you're headed

356
00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:33,200
Speaker 5: to a new level. He knows you're coming into overflow.

357
00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:36,560
Speaker 5: He knows you're going to set a new standard for

358
00:21:36,680 --> 00:21:40,159
Speaker 5: your family. And here's the most important thing. He knows

359
00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:43,520
Speaker 5: there's nothing he can do to stop you. The forces

360
00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:46,240
Speaker 5: that are for you are greater than the forces that

361
00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:50,760
Speaker 5: are against you. But he will work over time trying

362
00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:53,879
Speaker 5: to convince us to settle, to give up, to stay

363
00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:57,480
Speaker 5: where we are. You have to remember this principle. When

364
00:21:57,560 --> 00:22:01,679
Speaker 5: negative things happen, that's not stop your destiny. That's a

365
00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:05,240
Speaker 5: sign that you're on your way to your destiny. Every delay,

366
00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:09,000
Speaker 5: the setbacks, the disappointment, that didn't stop your dream, it's

367
00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:13,080
Speaker 5: all a part of the process. Joseph's brothers they were

368
00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:16,400
Speaker 5: jealous of him. They threw him into a pit. They

369
00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:18,600
Speaker 5: were going to leave him there to die, but they

370
00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:22,480
Speaker 5: saw this caravan coming by. They ended up selling him

371
00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:26,800
Speaker 5: as a slave to an influential man named Potiphar. Year

372
00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:30,600
Speaker 5: after year, Joseph worked for Potterphar, kept a good attitude,

373
00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:34,159
Speaker 5: kept being his best. But one bad thing after another

374
00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:38,920
Speaker 5: happened to Joseph. Potterphar's wife lied about him, falsely accused him.

375
00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:41,560
Speaker 5: He was put in prison for something he didn't do.

376
00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:46,200
Speaker 5: He spent years there. One night, this pharaoh had a dream.

377
00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:49,840
Speaker 5: He didn't understand what it meant. Joseph was able to

378
00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:53,679
Speaker 5: interpret that dream. Pharah was so impressed with him he

379
00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:56,639
Speaker 5: brought Joseph out of prison and put him in charge

380
00:22:56,640 --> 00:22:59,679
Speaker 5: of the whole nation, just like Joseph had seen in

381
00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:04,320
Speaker 5: his own Years later, there was a great famine in

382
00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:08,040
Speaker 5: the land. People were desperate, trying to survive, trying to

383
00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:11,639
Speaker 5: find food. Joseph was in charge of the food supply,

384
00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:16,359
Speaker 5: one of the most important positions of that day. His brothers,

385
00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:19,920
Speaker 5: the same ones that threw him into a pit. They

386
00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:23,360
Speaker 5: traveled a long distance and showed up at the palace

387
00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:27,679
Speaker 5: looking for food. They were right before him, bowing down,

388
00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:33,400
Speaker 5: but they didn't recognize who Joseph was. You can imagine

389
00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:37,159
Speaker 5: this is a very dramatic moment for Joseph. These are

390
00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:40,240
Speaker 5: the brothers that betrayed him. These are the brothers that

391
00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:43,480
Speaker 5: caused him all the heartache and pain. You would think

392
00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:47,919
Speaker 5: Joseph would be angry, bitter, vindictive. This was his chance

393
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:52,160
Speaker 5: to pay them back. But the scripture says when Joseph

394
00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:57,280
Speaker 5: saw his brothers, he remembered his dream. He didn't remember

395
00:23:57,320 --> 00:24:01,639
Speaker 5: the hurt, he didn't remember the betrayal, the lonely nights,

396
00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:05,960
Speaker 5: the times he was confused. He remembered the promise. He

397
00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:09,600
Speaker 5: remembered what God had spoken to him. Now, all these

398
00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:13,439
Speaker 5: bad breaks, it looked like Joseph missed his destiny. The

399
00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:18,440
Speaker 5: whole time, God was directing his steps, leading him, guiding him.

400
00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:21,080
Speaker 5: It was all a part of the process to get

401
00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:24,440
Speaker 5: him to where he was supposed to be. When God

402
00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:27,080
Speaker 5: puts a dream in your heart, when he gives you

403
00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:30,080
Speaker 5: a promise, it doesn't mean that it's going to come

404
00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:35,440
Speaker 5: to pass with no opposition, no delays, no adversity. There

405
00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:39,119
Speaker 5: will be things that you don't understand. You'll have plenty

406
00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:42,159
Speaker 5: of opportunities to get negative and think I must not

407
00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:45,919
Speaker 5: have heard God right In those tough times, you have

408
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:50,360
Speaker 5: to do like Joseph and remember your dream. God has

409
00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:53,680
Speaker 5: not brought you this far to leave you. He has

410
00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:57,320
Speaker 5: you in the palm of his hand. He's directing your steps.

411
00:24:57,680 --> 00:25:02,080
Speaker 5: Now do your part. Dare to try him, dare to believe.

412
00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:06,400
Speaker 5: Let him fight your battles, Let him be your vindicator.

413
00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:09,920
Speaker 5: He has it all figured out. Well, Joel, I'm upset.

414
00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:12,320
Speaker 5: I don't understand it. I got thrown into a pit.

415
00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:16,040
Speaker 5: Don't worry. Another caravan is coming to move you onto

416
00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:19,879
Speaker 5: your next location. Well, a friend lied about me, I

417
00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:22,320
Speaker 5: lost a loved one, I went through a divorce. Don't

418
00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:25,600
Speaker 5: get bitter. It's just a detour on the way to

419
00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:29,680
Speaker 5: your destiny. The palace is coming, the promise is on track.

420
00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:34,320
Speaker 5: The dream will be fulfilled. The scripture says, these light

421
00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:40,000
Speaker 5: afflictions are for a moment when you face opposition. Things

422
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:44,640
Speaker 5: don't go your way. Recognize that it's not permanent. That's

423
00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:49,439
Speaker 5: not your final destination. Quit worrying about things that are

424
00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:54,920
Speaker 5: only temporary. Like Joseph, the pit is temporary, the injustice

425
00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:58,960
Speaker 5: is temporary. The betrayal is not your permanent home. It's

426
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:03,240
Speaker 5: a temporary style. The psawmis put it this way, passing

427
00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:07,720
Speaker 5: through the valley of weeping. It doesn't say settling in

428
00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:11,120
Speaker 5: the valley, getting stuck in the valley, building your house

429
00:26:11,160 --> 00:26:15,280
Speaker 5: in the valley. The valley is temporary, you're passing through it.

430
00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:21,160
Speaker 5: My challenge quit losing sleep over a temporary stop. Quit

431
00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:25,240
Speaker 5: being discouraged over something that's only for a season. It's

432
00:26:25,280 --> 00:26:28,679
Speaker 5: not permanent. I was in my backyard one time and

433
00:26:28,800 --> 00:26:32,600
Speaker 5: my grass looked so dead. It was brown, worn out,

434
00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:36,240
Speaker 5: run down. I called the man that helps with my landscaping, said,

435
00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:39,119
Speaker 5: what happened to my grass? Why did it die? He

436
00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:42,560
Speaker 5: kind of laughed and said, Joel, it's not dead. It's

437
00:26:42,680 --> 00:26:46,480
Speaker 5: just not in season. It's dormant right now, but in

438
00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:48,960
Speaker 5: a few months it will be as green and lush

439
00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:52,840
Speaker 5: as can be. See. I was worried about something that

440
00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:55,960
Speaker 5: was only temporary. I thought that's the way it was

441
00:26:56,000 --> 00:27:00,439
Speaker 5: always going to be. When I realized that that was normal,

442
00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:03,320
Speaker 5: I never worried about it again. When I saw my

443
00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:05,760
Speaker 5: brown grass, I thought, no big deal, just a matter

444
00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:08,679
Speaker 5: of time for it's back to green. Are you worried

445
00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:12,800
Speaker 5: about things that are only temporary? Letting something steal your

446
00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:15,520
Speaker 5: joy because you think that's the way it's always going

447
00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:19,600
Speaker 5: to be. Can I tell you your dream is not dead,

448
00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:24,320
Speaker 5: it's just not in season. Your time is coming the

449
00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:29,359
Speaker 5: right people, the right breaks, favor, restoration, vindication. That's what's

450
00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:33,439
Speaker 5: headed your way. These light afflictions are for a moment.

451
00:27:34,200 --> 00:27:37,080
Speaker 5: It goes on to say, they work in us and

452
00:27:37,280 --> 00:27:42,280
Speaker 5: eternal weight of glory. In other words, the adversity is temporary,

453
00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:46,480
Speaker 5: the glory is eternal. Friends, stir up what God's put

454
00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:50,040
Speaker 5: on the inside. You may have a dream that you bury.

455
00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:53,399
Speaker 5: You need to get your shovel out and start thanking

456
00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:56,280
Speaker 5: God that it's still coming to pass. Perhaps you're on

457
00:27:56,320 --> 00:27:59,840
Speaker 5: a detour right now, something you don't understand. Don't get this.

458
00:28:00,840 --> 00:28:05,119
Speaker 5: It's temporary. You're just passing through. It's easy to remember

459
