I like to start 47 00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:22,080 Speaker 4: with something funny, and I heard about these three men 48 00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:26,240 Speaker 4: that were traveling together, a Hindu priest, a Jewish rabbi, 49 00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:30,639 Speaker 4: and a televangelist. They stopped at a farmhouse for lodging. 50 00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:33,080 Speaker 4: Farmers said, I only have room for two of you 51 00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:35,359 Speaker 4: in the house. Somebody will have to stay out in 52 00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:38,519 Speaker 4: the barn. The Hindu priest said, I'll do it in 53 00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:40,079 Speaker 4: a few minutes. There was a knock on the door. 54 00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:42,480 Speaker 4: He said, I can't stay out there. There's a cow, 55 00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:46,320 Speaker 4: and cows are sacred in our religion. The Jewish rabbi said, 56 00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:48,360 Speaker 4: I'll do it. A few minutes. A knock on the 57 00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:50,760 Speaker 4: door said I can't stay out there. There was a 58 00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:54,600 Speaker 4: pig and that wouldn't be kosher. The televangel said, okay, 59 00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:56,600 Speaker 4: I'll do it. A few minutes, there was a knock 60 00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:58,840 Speaker 4: on the door. It was the cow and the pig. 61 00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:04,000 Speaker 4: Hold up your Bible, say it like you mean it. 62 00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:07,119 Speaker 4: This is my Bible. I am what it says I am. 63 00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:09,680 Speaker 4: I have what it says I have. I can do 64 00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:12,200 Speaker 4: what it says I can do. Today I will be 65 00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:16,000 Speaker 4: taught the word of God. I'll boldly confess my mind 66 00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:19,240 Speaker 4: is alert, my heart is receptive, I will never be 67 00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:24,040 Speaker 4: the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you. I want 68 00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:28,000 Speaker 4: to talk to you today about all is well. It's 69 00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:31,840 Speaker 4: easy to go through life worried about the future, frustrated 70 00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:35,480 Speaker 4: because the dream is taking so long, upset because somebody 71 00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:39,440 Speaker 4: did us wrong. But instead of complaining about the difficulty, 72 00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:42,720 Speaker 4: instead of being sour because your plans didn't work out, 73 00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:47,560 Speaker 4: you need to remember these three simple words. All is well. 74 00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:51,840 Speaker 4: God is still on the throne. He's directing your steps. 75 00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:54,960 Speaker 4: He wouldn't have allowed it unless he had a purpose 76 00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:59,440 Speaker 4: for it. When you're tempted to get discouraged, keep reminding yourself. 77 00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:03,920 Speaker 4: All well, I lost my biggest client. I'm not stressed 78 00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:06,880 Speaker 4: over it. I know something better is coming. All is well. 79 00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:10,080 Speaker 4: I was cheated in a business deal, that's all right. 80 00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:14,080 Speaker 4: God is my vindicator. All is well. Prayed for my 81 00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:17,120 Speaker 4: loved one but they didn't make it. I'm not bitter. 82 00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:20,599 Speaker 4: I know they're in heaven rejoicing where there is no pain. 83 00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:25,200 Speaker 4: All is well. When you have this all is well attitude, 84 00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:29,480 Speaker 4: there's a peace, a rest. It takes the pressure off. 85 00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:32,960 Speaker 4: You don't live on a roller coaster. You know all 86 00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:35,919 Speaker 4: is well when you're on the mountaintop, and all is 87 00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:39,599 Speaker 4: well in the valley. All is well when business is great, 88 00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:42,839 Speaker 4: and all is well when it's not so great. You 89 00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:46,080 Speaker 4: have a made up mind. You know God is bigger 90 00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:49,360 Speaker 4: than any obstacle. As long as you stay in faith, 91 00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:53,440 Speaker 4: nothing can keep you from your destiny. That's what three 92 00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:57,680 Speaker 4: Hebrew teenagers did in the scripture shad Rak Mejak of Bendigo. 93 00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:01,680 Speaker 4: They refuse to bow down of the king's golden idol. 94 00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:04,760 Speaker 4: They were about to be thrown into a fiery furnace. 95 00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:09,000 Speaker 4: They could have complained, God is not fair. We're doing 96 00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:11,960 Speaker 4: your will, and look what happens now. They said to 97 00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:15,400 Speaker 4: the king, We're not gonna bow. We know our God 98 00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:19,800 Speaker 4: will deliver us, but even if he doesn't, we're still 99 00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:23,560 Speaker 4: not going to bow. They were saying, all is well 100 00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:26,479 Speaker 4: if it goes our way, and all is well if 101 00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:29,279 Speaker 4: it doesn't go our way, all is well if our 102 00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:32,240 Speaker 4: prayers get answered, and all is well if they don't 103 00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:35,960 Speaker 4: get answered. The king had them thrown into that furnace. 104 00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:39,440 Speaker 4: It should have instantly killed them. He came back and 105 00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:42,720 Speaker 4: checked a little later, said to the guards, didn't we 106 00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:46,760 Speaker 4: throw three men in bound? I see four men loose 107 00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:50,760 Speaker 4: and one looks like the son of God. When you know, 108 00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:54,400 Speaker 4: all is well, the creator of the universe, will make 109 00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:58,840 Speaker 4: things happen that you could never make happen. Like these teenagers, 110 00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:01,599 Speaker 4: you may be in a situation where you don't see 111 00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:05,560 Speaker 4: a way out. You could be discouraged, upset, stressed. No, 112 00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:09,560 Speaker 4: you need to start declaring all as well. I'm struggling 113 00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:12,520 Speaker 4: in my marriage, but I'm not living stressed. All is well. 114 00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:16,280 Speaker 4: I'm dealing with this addiction, not where I thought i'd 115 00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:19,480 Speaker 4: be in life, but I'm not discouraged. God is still 116 00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:22,599 Speaker 4: working on me. I'm not a finished product. All is well. 117 00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:27,599 Speaker 4: I never thought i'd be facing this legal problem, this sickness, 118 00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:31,120 Speaker 4: this divorce, this bankruptcy. But can I tell you all 119 00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:34,240 Speaker 4: is well, I'm at peace. I know God is in 120 00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:38,520 Speaker 4: complete control. Maybe you're single. You thought you would have 121 00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:42,120 Speaker 4: met somebody by now, let me encourage you. All is well. 122 00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:45,800 Speaker 4: God already has the right person lined up for you. 123 00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:49,359 Speaker 4: They are in your future. Now stay in agreement with God. 124 00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:52,360 Speaker 4: Don't go around thinking, oh, it's never gonna happen, or 125 00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:56,080 Speaker 4: have this attitude all as well. Maybe your child made 126 00:06:56,120 --> 00:07:00,200 Speaker 4: some poor choices. Worrying is not going to help us 127 00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:02,880 Speaker 4: in sleep doesn't make it better. All through the day, 128 00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:05,839 Speaker 4: Let this phrase play in your mind. All is well. 129 00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:10,320 Speaker 4: You'll hear the voice. What if he doesn't change answer back? 130 00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:13,280 Speaker 4: All is well? What if he gets in more trouble? 131 00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:16,200 Speaker 4: All is well? What if it doesn't work out? All 132 00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:20,520 Speaker 4: is well? Replace the thoughts of worry with all is well. 133 00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:25,000 Speaker 4: Maybe the medical report wasn't good. It would be easy 134 00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:27,720 Speaker 4: to let those words play all day long. You're not 135 00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:30,880 Speaker 4: gonna make it. Learn to live with it. No turn 136 00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:34,720 Speaker 4: off that recording. Put on this new recording. All is well. 137 00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:38,520 Speaker 4: The number of my days God will fulfilled. Nothing can 138 00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:42,120 Speaker 4: snatch me out of his hands. Or perhaps a legal 139 00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:45,400 Speaker 4: situation you don't like it. It wasn't fair, But all 140 00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:48,760 Speaker 4: is well, it says in Psalms. The trap the enemy 141 00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:52,360 Speaker 4: set for me, they will fall in themselves. When you 142 00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:57,080 Speaker 4: meditate on this simple phrase, all is well, you're saying God, 143 00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:01,160 Speaker 4: I trust you. You're bigger than this problem. You can 144 00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:06,920 Speaker 4: turn any situation around. It's interesting the Hebrew teenagers were 145 00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:10,560 Speaker 4: doing the right thing when the wrong thing happened to them. 146 00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:15,920 Speaker 4: Being in God's perfect will doesn't mean we won't have difficulties. 147 00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:22,200 Speaker 4: You can't reach your destiny without opposition, unfair situations, people 148 00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:25,880 Speaker 4: doing you wrong. When things come against you, it's easy 149 00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:30,000 Speaker 4: to think, Joel, all is not well. Look at these difficulties. Now. 150 00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:34,040 Speaker 4: The truth is, the enemy wouldn't be fighting you unless 151 00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:37,520 Speaker 4: he knew God had something amazing in your future. You 152 00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:40,600 Speaker 4: can stay in faith, You can declare all is well, 153 00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:44,679 Speaker 4: knowing that that opposition is a sign that's something great 154 00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:48,800 Speaker 4: is coming. In fact, the scripture says, don't be surprised 155 00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:52,640 Speaker 4: when you face various trials. Don't get bent out of 156 00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:55,040 Speaker 4: shape because life through you a curb. You had an 157 00:08:55,120 --> 00:09:01,800 Speaker 4: unexpected challenge. Sometimes we face difficulties because we're doing something wrong, 158 00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:06,040 Speaker 4: but because we're doing something right. Jesus told a parable 159 00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:09,960 Speaker 4: about this in Matthew chapter thirteen. A farmer went out 160 00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:14,200 Speaker 4: and planted wheat in his field. He sowed good seed. 161 00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:17,920 Speaker 4: He was doing the right thing. But at night, while 162 00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:22,160 Speaker 4: he slept, an enemy snuck in and planted weeds in 163 00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:26,280 Speaker 4: his soil. When it came time for harvest, the weeds 164 00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:30,120 Speaker 4: popped up with the wheat. He thought, where did this 165 00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:34,000 Speaker 4: come from? I didn't sow these seeds. Any time, you're 166 00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:38,880 Speaker 4: doing the right thing, honoring God, being productive, helping others, 167 00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:43,040 Speaker 4: don't be surprised if you find some weeds among your 168 00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:46,800 Speaker 4: wheat like this farmer, doesn't mean you've done anything wrong. 169 00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:50,840 Speaker 4: We think. I've been loyal to this company for twenty years. 170 00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:53,800 Speaker 4: How could they treat me badly? I raised my child. 171 00:09:53,920 --> 00:09:57,079 Speaker 4: Right now, he's veering off course. I just don't understand it. 172 00:09:57,640 --> 00:10:01,079 Speaker 4: Those are simply weeds that the inner me has sown 173 00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:05,640 Speaker 4: into your field. The good news is those weeds cannot 174 00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:09,040 Speaker 4: keep you from your destiny. If that trouble was going 175 00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:11,960 Speaker 4: to stop God's plan, he would have never permitted it. 176 00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:17,080 Speaker 4: What I've learned is the weeds always pop up right 177 00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:21,440 Speaker 4: before the harvest. Your business slows down, a child acts up, 178 00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:24,400 Speaker 4: you have trouble in a relationship. Don't panic. You are 179 00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:28,200 Speaker 4: close to your breakthrough. Your harvest is about to come. 180 00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:31,360 Speaker 4: That's why the weeds are popping up and instead of 181 00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:35,160 Speaker 4: falling apart, God, why did this happen? No, our attitude 182 00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:38,600 Speaker 4: should be snowbig deal. It's just another weed. I didn't 183 00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:41,280 Speaker 4: sow it. I don't have to reap it. God said 184 00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:44,240 Speaker 4: he would take care of it for me. If for 185 00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:47,520 Speaker 4: some reason, you were to lose your job, don't panic. 186 00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:50,920 Speaker 4: That's just a weed. Popping up. You stay in faith, 187 00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:53,560 Speaker 4: and God will give you a better job. If the 188 00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:57,800 Speaker 4: medical report is negative, don't get discouraged. See that sickness 189 00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:01,760 Speaker 4: as a weed. It cannot you. You're a child of 190 00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:04,960 Speaker 4: the most high God. You have the most powerful force 191 00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:09,920 Speaker 4: in the universe breathing in your direction. Maybe somebody walked 192 00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:12,720 Speaker 4: out of a relationship. Did you wrong? Cause you a 193 00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:15,800 Speaker 4: lot of pain. Next time you see them under your breath, 194 00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:21,559 Speaker 4: just say hello, weed. You don't need them to become 195 00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:25,079 Speaker 4: who God's created you to be. I didn't say say 196 00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:29,679 Speaker 4: it to their face. Now, this parable ends with the 197 00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:33,760 Speaker 4: workers asking the farmer should we go pull up the weeds? 198 00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:37,280 Speaker 4: He said no, just wait, and at the right time, 199 00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:41,040 Speaker 4: they will be destroyed. God is saying that to us, 200 00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:45,199 Speaker 4: the weeds that pop up, the unexpected challenges, the sickness, 201 00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:48,440 Speaker 4: the trouble at work. You don't have to fight those battles. 202 00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:52,240 Speaker 4: Don't spend all your life trying to pull up the weeds. 203 00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:55,920 Speaker 4: You can't fix everything in your own strength. And if 204 00:11:55,920 --> 00:12:00,360 Speaker 4: you're constantly trying to straighten this person out, fix this problem, 205 00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:05,079 Speaker 4: make this situation resolved, you'll be frustrated. The scripture says 206 00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:09,920 Speaker 4: those who have believed enter into rest. At some point 207 00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:13,040 Speaker 4: you got to say, God, I'm trusting you to take 208 00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:16,920 Speaker 4: care of my weeds. You keep honoring God being your best, 209 00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:19,800 Speaker 4: and God will move the wrong people out of the way. 210 00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:23,760 Speaker 4: God will restore what's been stolen. God will straighten out 211 00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:27,960 Speaker 4: the situation at work at home. For you, the battle 212 00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:32,240 Speaker 4: is not yours. The battle is the Lord's. Be still 213 00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:36,160 Speaker 4: and know that he is God. See, we shouldn't always 214 00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:40,160 Speaker 4: be wrought up, uptight, worried, frustrated, trying to fix this 215 00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:45,320 Speaker 4: rebuke and resistant. A mature attitude says, hey, everything's not 216 00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:49,160 Speaker 4: perfect in my life. I have some struggles, some situations 217 00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:52,160 Speaker 4: I wish were different. But can I tell you all 218 00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:55,600 Speaker 4: is well. I'm at peace, I'm not worried. I know 219 00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:58,360 Speaker 4: at the right time, God will take care of my weeds. 220 00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:03,640 Speaker 4: Until then, will relax and enjoy my life. But too 221 00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:09,040 Speaker 4: often we're frustrated by the difficulties. We have to realize 222 00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:13,560 Speaker 4: we can't have a harvest without a few weeds. David 223 00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:16,439 Speaker 4: would have never made it to the throne without Goliath 224 00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:20,120 Speaker 4: a big weed. We would have never acquired this beautiful 225 00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:23,840 Speaker 4: facility without a three and a half year lawsuit. There 226 00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:26,960 Speaker 4: will be weeds in all of our lives. We're not 227 00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:30,360 Speaker 4: always going to understand where they came from, why it happened. 228 00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:35,000 Speaker 4: Don't get discouraged. Just keep moving forward, knowing that all 229 00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:38,640 Speaker 4: is well and God promises he will take care of 230 00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:42,559 Speaker 4: your weeds. I know a young couple. For ten years, 231 00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:46,280 Speaker 4: they'd been saving up to buy their first house. They 232 00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:49,880 Speaker 4: were so excited. At one point everything came together. They 233 00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:52,679 Speaker 4: found the house they wanted, they had the funds. But 234 00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:55,800 Speaker 4: on the day they were to sign the closing papers, 235 00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:59,520 Speaker 4: the young lady was at the realator's office finalizing the 236 00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:02,760 Speaker 4: detail when she got a phone call from her husband 237 00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:06,559 Speaker 4: saying that he had just lost his job. He'd been 238 00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:10,200 Speaker 4: with this company for six years, always had a great attitude, 239 00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:15,200 Speaker 4: did his best, but his supervisor didn't like him for years, 240 00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:19,840 Speaker 4: treated him unfairly. What was that a weed? Just before 241 00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:23,040 Speaker 4: the harvest came, that weed popped up and they could 242 00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:27,200 Speaker 4: have been discouraged. God, I can't believe this happened. Now 243 00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:30,880 Speaker 4: they had this same attitude. All is well. God, we 244 00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:33,480 Speaker 4: don't understand it, but it's not a surprise to you. 245 00:14:34,200 --> 00:14:37,200 Speaker 4: When he wasn't interviewing for another job, he'd come up 246 00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:41,400 Speaker 4: to Lakewood and volunteer week after week. Didn't look like 247 00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:45,280 Speaker 4: anything was happening. But when you see those weeds popping up, 248 00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:49,360 Speaker 4: those unexpected challenges, you're doing the right thing, but the 249 00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:53,240 Speaker 4: wrong thing is happening. That's a sign that your harvest 250 00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:57,320 Speaker 4: is getting closer. Five months later, he got a call 251 00:14:57,480 --> 00:15:00,920 Speaker 4: from his old company. Hadn't spoken to them since he 252 00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:05,200 Speaker 4: was let go. An executive from the headquarters informed him 253 00:15:05,520 --> 00:15:08,600 Speaker 4: they had fired his old supervisor and put a new 254 00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:11,480 Speaker 4: management team in place and wanted him to come back. 255 00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:14,680 Speaker 4: They not only offered him his same position, but they 256 00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:18,040 Speaker 4: restored all of his benefits, all of his seniority, all 257 00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:22,200 Speaker 4: of his retirement. They went back and checked on the 258 00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:25,240 Speaker 4: house they wanted to buy. It was still there, just 259 00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:28,440 Speaker 4: like it had been waiting on them. Today, he's not 260 00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:31,800 Speaker 4: only excelling in his career, but they're living in that 261 00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:35,200 Speaker 4: house of their dreams as happy as can be. God 262 00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:39,400 Speaker 4: knows how to get rid of the weeds in your life. Ladies, 263 00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:41,560 Speaker 4: Quit looking at your husband. That man is not a weed. 264 00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:48,040 Speaker 4: In Second King, chapter four, Elisha prophesied to a lady 265 00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:50,920 Speaker 4: that she would have a baby she had been baring 266 00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:54,040 Speaker 4: her whole life. Sure Enough, the next year, she had 267 00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:57,560 Speaker 4: a son. She was thrilled. When the boy was about 268 00:15:57,560 --> 00:16:00,000 Speaker 4: ten years old, he was out in the field place 269 00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:03,760 Speaker 4: his head began to hurt. They carried him to his house, 270 00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:07,560 Speaker 4: where he later died in his mother's arms. You can 271 00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:12,280 Speaker 4: imagine how heartbroken distraught this woman must have been after 272 00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:16,880 Speaker 4: waiting all these years, now her only son is gone. 273 00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:20,280 Speaker 4: She got on a horse and took off full speed 274 00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:25,720 Speaker 4: toward Elisia's house at Mount Carmel. Elisha saw her coming 275 00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:29,240 Speaker 4: from a great distance, the dust billowing in the air, 276 00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:32,920 Speaker 4: and he was concerned. He said to his assistant gahes I, 277 00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:36,320 Speaker 4: go check with the woman and see if something is wrong. 278 00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:39,440 Speaker 4: He jumped on his horse. Gahes I did and cut 279 00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:41,960 Speaker 4: the woman off at the path and said, ma'am, let 280 00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:47,320 Speaker 4: me ask you, Elisha is concerned, Is anything wrong? Without hesitating, 281 00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:51,440 Speaker 4: she said no, all is well, kept going full speed 282 00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:55,080 Speaker 4: toward Elisia's house. Gahes I thought that doesn't make sense, 283 00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:57,840 Speaker 4: caught back up to her a second time. Ma'am, let 284 00:16:57,840 --> 00:17:00,960 Speaker 4: me ask one more time. Is everything okay at your house? 285 00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:04,959 Speaker 4: She said, yes, all is well. Is everything okay with 286 00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:09,240 Speaker 4: your husband? Yes? All is well. Then he asked, is 287 00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:13,280 Speaker 4: everything okay with your son. She said it again, all 288 00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:17,560 Speaker 4: is well, well, Joel, I'm not gonna lie if it's 289 00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:20,320 Speaker 4: not well, I'm not going to say that it is well. 290 00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:23,520 Speaker 4: But really, this is what faith is all about. The 291 00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:26,439 Speaker 4: Scripture says you have to call things that are not 292 00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:31,240 Speaker 4: as if they already were. When the situation doesn't look good, 293 00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:34,159 Speaker 4: you don't see how you could accomplish a dream your 294 00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:37,879 Speaker 4: child's off course. Every voice says it's not gonna happen, 295 00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:41,520 Speaker 4: it's too late. Just accept it. But you dig your 296 00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:45,199 Speaker 4: heels in and say, like this woman, all is well. 297 00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:49,439 Speaker 4: That's not just being positive. You are prophesying your future. 298 00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:54,320 Speaker 4: You are speaking faith into your future. Don't use your 299 00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:58,280 Speaker 4: words to describe your situation. Use your words to change 300 00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:02,119 Speaker 4: your situation. Easy to talk about the problem house not 301 00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:05,119 Speaker 4: gonna work out? Well, I just believe in telling it 302 00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:08,640 Speaker 4: like it is. My back's been hurting for thirteen years. 303 00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:12,399 Speaker 4: I'll never get better. Had this addiction since high school. 304 00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:16,679 Speaker 4: I'll never break it. That's prophesying defeat. Why don't you 305 00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:20,439 Speaker 4: do like this lady in spite of the difficulties, you 306 00:18:20,480 --> 00:18:23,520 Speaker 4: don't see any sign of it changing. Dare to say 307 00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:27,119 Speaker 4: all is well? You lost a loved one you should 308 00:18:27,119 --> 00:18:30,800 Speaker 4: be depressed. No, all is well. God's still on the throne. 309 00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:34,480 Speaker 4: You didn't get the promotion. Your friend says it's not right, 310 00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:37,600 Speaker 4: you deserved it. Don't join in. Yeah, I can't stand 311 00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:40,919 Speaker 4: my boss. No, all is well, Something better is coming. 312 00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:45,080 Speaker 4: The medical report wasn't good, Yes, but God is good. 313 00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:47,959 Speaker 4: All is well. You've been in a drought, hadn't had 314 00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:50,360 Speaker 4: a good break in a long time. Yes, but I'm 315 00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:53,520 Speaker 4: not worried. I know the abundance of rain is coming. 316 00:18:53,840 --> 00:18:57,560 Speaker 4: All is well in my life. This lady finally got 317 00:18:57,560 --> 00:19:00,440 Speaker 4: to Elisia's house and she told him that her son 318 00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:04,600 Speaker 4: had died. Elisha got on his horse, went to her home, 319 00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:07,120 Speaker 4: prayed for the little boy, and he came back to life. 320 00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:10,200 Speaker 4: A great miracle. But I don't believe this would have 321 00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:14,160 Speaker 4: happened if she would have sat around and self pity discouraged. 322 00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:19,080 Speaker 4: God is not fair. It happened because she believed all 323 00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:23,040 Speaker 4: is well before she saw any sign of it being well. 324 00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:27,040 Speaker 4: You may be in a situation right now that is 325 00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:30,560 Speaker 4: not well. It is not well with your health, it 326 00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:33,199 Speaker 4: is not well in your finances, or maybe it's not 327 00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:36,360 Speaker 4: well in a relationship. You have a choice. You can 328 00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:40,560 Speaker 4: accept it get discouraged, complain, or you can do like 329 00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:44,320 Speaker 4: this lady, in spite of what it looks like, in 330 00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:47,080 Speaker 4: spite of what your mind is telling you, in spite 331 00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:50,480 Speaker 4: of the negative reports, you can dare to say all 332 00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:53,960 Speaker 4: is well. This is what Paul and Silas did in 333 00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:57,240 Speaker 4: the scripture. They were in prison. They had just been 334 00:19:57,280 --> 00:20:01,320 Speaker 4: beaten with rods, hadn't done anything wrong. But at midnight 335 00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:05,040 Speaker 4: they were singing praises to God. They were saying, we're 336 00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:09,199 Speaker 4: not distraught, we're not upset. All is well. About that 337 00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:13,080 Speaker 4: time there was a great earthquake. The prison doors flung open, 338 00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:16,640 Speaker 4: chains fell off their feet. They walked out as free men. 339 00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:21,479 Speaker 4: Job went through a season of great trouble, lost his health, 340 00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:25,840 Speaker 4: his business, everything went wrong. But Job didn't get bitter, 341 00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:30,160 Speaker 4: he said, though he slay me, yet, will I trust him? 342 00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:34,439 Speaker 4: He was saying, if it goes my way or doesn't 343 00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:38,720 Speaker 4: go my way, all is well. Here's the key. If 344 00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:41,960 Speaker 4: you have to have everything happen your way in order 345 00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:45,560 Speaker 4: to be happy, you are setting yourself up for disappointment. 346 00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:49,359 Speaker 4: A mature attitude is all is well. If my prayers 347 00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:52,520 Speaker 4: get answered, and all is well. If they don't get answered, 348 00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:55,359 Speaker 4: all is well, if people are good to me, and 349 00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:58,359 Speaker 4: all is well. If they're not good to me, you're 350 00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:03,280 Speaker 4: not moved by the circumstances. That takes away the enemy's power. 351 00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:06,600 Speaker 4: When you don't have to have your way, he can't 352 00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:11,320 Speaker 4: control you, you're saying, God, my life is in your hands. 353 00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:15,360 Speaker 4: You know what's best for me. Daniel did this. He 354 00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:18,560 Speaker 4: was about to be thrown into a den of hungry lions. 355 00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:22,240 Speaker 4: His attitude was, if I get eaten by these lions, 356 00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:25,480 Speaker 4: I'll go to be with the Lord today, all is well. 357 00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:29,200 Speaker 4: If not, I'll stay here and finish my course. All 358 00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:32,400 Speaker 4: is well. The next morning the guards came to check 359 00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:35,159 Speaker 4: on him. I can imagine Daniel lying there in the 360 00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:39,280 Speaker 4: den of lions, asleep, at peace, at rest. He knew 361 00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:43,680 Speaker 4: the enemy doesn't determine our destiny. God determines our destiny. 362 00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:47,640 Speaker 4: And when you have this all is well attitude, you're 363 00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:51,159 Speaker 4: not moved by the weeds. You're not upset because of 364 00:21:51,200 --> 00:21:55,320 Speaker 4: a disappointment. You don't lose sleep because somebody did you wrong. 365 00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:58,639 Speaker 4: You don't live sour because your prayers didn't get answered 366 00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:01,639 Speaker 4: your way. You know God is still on the throne, 367 00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:04,040 Speaker 4: and he will get you to where you're supposed to be. 368 00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:07,080 Speaker 4: I read a story about a man by the name 369 00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:11,640 Speaker 4: of Horatio Spafford. He was a wealthy businessman that lived 370 00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:15,040 Speaker 4: back in the eighteen hundreds. One night, his wife and 371 00:22:15,160 --> 00:22:19,240 Speaker 4: four daughters were on a ship crossing the Atlantic. They 372 00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:22,840 Speaker 4: collided with another ship, and all four of his daughters 373 00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:26,080 Speaker 4: were killed. His wife sent him a telegram with the 374 00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:30,760 Speaker 4: terrible news. A few weeks later, mister Spafford was traveling 375 00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:34,880 Speaker 4: across the Atlantic to meet his wife. At one point, 376 00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:38,240 Speaker 4: the captain of the ship informed him they were at 377 00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:42,640 Speaker 4: the exact place where his four daughters had lost their lives. 378 00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:46,400 Speaker 4: He took out a pen and wrote these words, When 379 00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:51,960 Speaker 4: peace like a river attendeth my way, when sorrows like 380 00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:56,399 Speaker 4: sea billows row, whatever my lot, you have taught me 381 00:22:56,480 --> 00:23:00,400 Speaker 4: to say, it is well. It is well with my Saul. 382 00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:04,080 Speaker 4: No matter what comes our way, we need to be 383 00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:07,560 Speaker 4: able to say with him, it is well with my soul. 384 00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:11,199 Speaker 4: Life may have thrown me a few curves, but it 385 00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:14,800 Speaker 4: is well with my Saul. All my dreams haven't come 386 00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:18,880 Speaker 4: to pass yet, but it is well. Went through a divorce, 387 00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:22,840 Speaker 4: I'm not bitter. It is well. Lost a loved one. 388 00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:26,160 Speaker 4: Don't understand it but it is well with my soul. 389 00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:30,560 Speaker 4: Fifteen years ago Thursday, my father went to be with 390 00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:32,800 Speaker 4: the Lord, and I received a call from my mother 391 00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:35,679 Speaker 4: that night, Joel, come over quick. Daddy's had a heart attack. 392 00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:39,159 Speaker 4: He died the next day. It seemed like everything was 393 00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:42,080 Speaker 4: out of control. We didn't know what was going to 394 00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:45,880 Speaker 4: happen to the church. Would people keep coming, who would 395 00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:49,840 Speaker 4: the pastor be? There were all these variables. In the 396 00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:53,439 Speaker 4: midst of that storm. The waves seem so big, the 397 00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:56,879 Speaker 4: winds were howling. We could have gotten discouraged, depressed. But 398 00:23:57,160 --> 00:24:00,600 Speaker 4: really we did what I'm asking you to do. We said, 399 00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:05,119 Speaker 4: by faith, all is well, And sometimes you have to 400 00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:08,440 Speaker 4: announce it, not only so you can hear it, not 401 00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:11,280 Speaker 4: only so God can hear it, but so the enemy 402 00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:16,280 Speaker 4: can hear it. He's expecting you to fall apart, get depressed, 403 00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:19,040 Speaker 4: give up on your dreams. But when you look that 404 00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:22,520 Speaker 4: adversity in the eye and you're not moved by it, 405 00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:25,720 Speaker 4: you've still got a report of victory. You've still got 406 00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:28,520 Speaker 4: a smile on your face, You're still being good to people. 407 00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:32,439 Speaker 4: That gives him a nervous breakdown. He hits you with 408 00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:36,000 Speaker 4: his best shot, but his best was not enough. He 409 00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:39,680 Speaker 4: doesn't have the final say. God has the final say. 410 00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:43,840 Speaker 4: And God has not brought you this far to leave you. 411 00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:48,120 Speaker 4: You've seen God's goodness, mercy, favor in the past. You're 412 00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:50,720 Speaker 4: going to see it again in the future. When it's 413 00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:54,560 Speaker 4: all said and done, you'll still be standing strong. Now, 414 00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:57,840 Speaker 4: you've got to do your part and speak victory into 415 00:24:57,880 --> 00:25:00,280 Speaker 4: your future. If you don't talk to your s self 416 00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:03,480 Speaker 4: the right way, negative thoughts will try to talk you 417 00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:06,439 Speaker 4: out of it. The what ifs will bombard your mind. 418 00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:09,800 Speaker 4: What if people don't keep coming, Joel, What if you 419 00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:11,919 Speaker 4: don't meet the right person, What if you don't have 420 00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:14,880 Speaker 4: the funds, What if your health doesn't improve? No, declare 421 00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:17,679 Speaker 4: it by faith, all is well God. I may not 422 00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:20,680 Speaker 4: see away, but I know you have a way. This 423 00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:22,800 Speaker 4: may be a surprise to me, but it's not a 424 00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:26,600 Speaker 4: surprise to you. Week after week, month after month, I 425 00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:30,680 Speaker 4: kept meditating on that simple phrase, all is well. Today. 426 00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:33,360 Speaker 4: We don't have to say it by faith. We can 427 00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:36,800 Speaker 4: say it as a fact. Lakewood is well, the Church 428 00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:39,439 Speaker 4: is strong, greatest days are still out in front of us. 429 00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:43,959 Speaker 4: The future is right. How you respond in the difficult 430 00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:47,720 Speaker 4: times will determine whether or not you reach the fullness 431 00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:51,159 Speaker 4: of your destiny. If we would have gotten depressed, discouraged 432 00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:54,520 Speaker 4: in self pity, we would not be here today. Friends. 433 00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:58,040 Speaker 4: There will be obstacles on the way to your promised land. 434 00:25:58,560 --> 00:26:02,399 Speaker 4: We all have weeds sown into our fields. Things that 435 00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:07,760 Speaker 4: don't make sense. We don't like it, loss, unfair situations, disappointments. 436 00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:11,560 Speaker 4: But don't complain, don't get bitter. Do like Daniel, Do 437 00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:13,960 Speaker 4: like Joe, Do like the young couple and the house 438 00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:18,119 Speaker 4: dare to say all is well. That shows God that 439 00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:21,560 Speaker 4: you're trusting him. That's what allows him to give you 440 00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:24,720 Speaker 4: beauty for ashes, to turn what was meant for your 441 00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:28,560 Speaker 4: harm and turn it into your advantage. Maybe you're in 442 00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:32,639 Speaker 4: a situation now that you could be discouraged, upset. You 443 00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:35,439 Speaker 4: don't see how it could ever work out in your favor. 444 00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:40,520 Speaker 4: But Isaiah three says say to the righteous, it shall 445 00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:44,280 Speaker 4: be well with you. You are the righteous. God says 446 00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:48,000 Speaker 4: say this to you, it shall be well. Not hope 447 00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:50,600 Speaker 4: so not maybe not if you get lucky. No, God 448 00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:54,800 Speaker 4: promises it shall be well with you. Maybe you lost 449 00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:56,960 Speaker 4: a loved one. You don't see how you can go on. 450 00:26:57,400 --> 00:27:00,400 Speaker 4: That is not the end, That is a new beginning. 451 00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:04,639 Speaker 4: It shall be well with you. The job situation didn't 452 00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:07,399 Speaker 4: work out, you lost a client, your God let go. 453 00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:11,000 Speaker 4: Don't worry. God has something better. It shall be well 454 00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:14,560 Speaker 4: with you. You're struggling in your finances. You don't know 455 00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:17,120 Speaker 4: how you're going to make it. God's got it all 456 00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:21,320 Speaker 4: figured out. He's called the Lord, our provider. He closed 457 00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:24,159 Speaker 4: the lilies of the field, he feeds the birds of 458 00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:27,840 Speaker 4: the air. It shall be well with you. I'm asking 459 00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:30,760 Speaker 4: you all through the day to let this phrase play 460 00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:34,159 Speaker 4: in your mind. When you're tempted to get upset, to 461 00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:38,200 Speaker 4: be worried, offended, just smile, no thanks. I know all 462 00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:43,440 Speaker 4: is well, friends. God has promised that all things, not some, 463 00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:46,760 Speaker 4: All things are going to work out for your good. 464 00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:50,359 Speaker 4: That means even the weeds are going to work to 465 00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:53,600 Speaker 4: your advantage. You may have some weeds in your life 466 00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:56,720 Speaker 4: right now. You remember that's a sign that you are 467 00:27:56,800 --> 00:28:02,120 Speaker 4: close to your harvest. You're about to see a breakthrough, healing, restoration, promotion. 468 00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:05,520 Speaker 4: You may have to say it by faith today, but 469 00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:08,920 Speaker 4: one day, like the lady and Elisha, you will say 470 00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:12,159 Speaker 4: it as a fact.

All is well with my children. 473 00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:23,280 Speaker 4: They're fulfilling their destinies. You will see the faithfulness of God. 474 00:28:23,720 --> 00:28:27,840 Speaker 4: Promises will be fulfilled. Negative situations will turn around. I 475 00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:31,879 Speaker 4: believe and declare you're coming into your harvest the fullness 476 00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:35,560 Speaker 4: of your destiny. It shall be well with you in 477 00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:38,320 Speaker 4: Jesus's name if you receive it. Can you say him 478 00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:43,240 Speaker 4: in today? We never like to close our broadcast without 479 00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:46,160 Speaker 4: giving you an opportunity to make Jesus the lord of 480 00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:50,200 Speaker 4: your life. Would you pray with me? Just say, Lord, Jesus, 481 00:28:51,280 --> 00:28:56,360 Speaker 4: I repent of my sins. Come into my heart, wash 482 00:28:56,480 --> 00:29:01,640 Speaker 4: me clean.
