I like to start 0:02:17.520 --> 0:02:20.560 with something funny. And I heard about this older woman. 0:02:20.800 --> 0:02:23.560 She came to church one Sunday morning, and a friendly 0:02:23.680 --> 0:02:25.839 usher met her in the back and said, ma'am, where 0:02:25.840 --> 0:02:28.080 would you like to sit? She said, I'd like to 0:02:28.080 --> 0:02:31.239 sit on the very front road. He said, oh, no, ma'am, 0:02:31.280 --> 0:02:33.920 you don't want to do that. Our pastor's very boring. 0:02:34.280 --> 0:02:36.960 He'll put you to sleep. Let me seet you somewhere else. 0:02:37.480 --> 0:02:40.359 She looked appalled. She said, sir, do you know who 0:02:40.400 --> 0:02:43.240 I am? He said no, ma'am. She said, I am 0:02:43.280 --> 0:02:48.040 the pastor's mother. He hung his head in embarrassment and 0:02:48.160 --> 0:02:50.160 finally looked up and said, ma'am, do you know who 0:02:50.200 --> 0:02:50.519 I am? 0:02:50.880 --> 0:02:51.400 She said no. 0:02:51.800 --> 0:02:56.600 He said, Thank God, hold up your bible. Say it 0:02:56.680 --> 0:02:59.280 like you mean it. This is my Bible. I am 0:02:59.320 --> 0:02:59.799 what it says. 0:02:59.840 --> 0:03:00.359 I am. 0:03:00.000 --> 0:03:02.840 I have what it says I have. I can do 0:03:02.919 --> 0:03:05.360 what it says I can do. Today I will be 0:03:05.440 --> 0:03:08.919 talked the word of God. I boldly confess. My mind 0:03:08.960 --> 0:03:12.000 is alert, my heart is receptive. I will never be 0:03:12.080 --> 0:03:16.639 the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you. I want 0:03:16.680 --> 0:03:20.520 to talk to you today about covered by mercy. We 0:03:20.560 --> 0:03:23.200 all make mistakes in life. And do things that we 0:03:23.320 --> 0:03:26.440 know we shouldn't do, and it's easy to live guilty 0:03:26.960 --> 0:03:30.480 in regrets, feeling like we're all washed up. A man 0:03:30.600 --> 0:03:33.600 said to me recently how he had gotten off course 0:03:33.600 --> 0:03:37.680 in his business, made some poor decisions, didn't have integrity. 0:03:38.200 --> 0:03:41.920 Now it was going downhill, started to affect his marriage. 0:03:42.160 --> 0:03:44.800 I encouraged him to pray and ask God to help 0:03:44.840 --> 0:03:48.160 turn it around. Believe for favor, he said, Joel, I 0:03:48.160 --> 0:03:51.720 couldn't do that. It's my own fault. I brought this 0:03:51.800 --> 0:03:56.680 trouble on myself. He felt like he was disqualified, he 0:03:56.720 --> 0:04:00.360 didn't deserve God's help because his performance wasn't a to par. 0:04:01.440 --> 0:04:04.680 We can understand how God will bless us when we're 0:04:04.680 --> 0:04:08.600 doing what's right, making good choices. It's easy to expect 0:04:08.720 --> 0:04:10.200 good things and believe. 0:04:09.920 --> 0:04:11.360 For dreams to come to pass. 0:04:12.000 --> 0:04:15.960 But the beauty of mercy is even when we make mistakes, 0:04:16.640 --> 0:04:19.479 even when we go the wrong way, our performance is 0:04:19.520 --> 0:04:23.400 not perfect. God doesn't say too bad, you had your chance, 0:04:23.520 --> 0:04:27.039 You're on your own. No, this is where mercy shows off. 0:04:27.800 --> 0:04:30.640 God will not only help bring you out of the 0:04:30.680 --> 0:04:33.640 trouble that you got yourself in, he'll take it one 0:04:33.680 --> 0:04:38.039 step further. And help clean up the mess you made. 0:04:38.080 --> 0:04:41.159 Maybe a relationship you knew you weren't supposed to get in. 0:04:41.560 --> 0:04:44.120 You didn't feel good about it, You heard the alarm 0:04:44.200 --> 0:04:47.679 going off, but you ignored it. Now it's a mess 0:04:48.000 --> 0:04:51.520 causing your heartache and pain. Or perhaps a job you 0:04:51.600 --> 0:04:54.600 knew you weren't supposed to take it. You didn't feel good, 0:04:54.720 --> 0:04:58.200 you had that uneasiness on the inside, but you overrode 0:04:58.240 --> 0:05:01.560 it and did it anyway. Now it's a mess. You're 0:05:01.600 --> 0:05:04.919 not fulfilled, not being treated right. God doesn't say I 0:05:05.000 --> 0:05:08.440 tried to tell you. Maybe next time you'll listen. No, 0:05:08.680 --> 0:05:12.880 God is not holding that against you. He has you covered. 0:05:13.360 --> 0:05:17.520 His mercy is bigger than that mistake. His mercy will 0:05:17.560 --> 0:05:20.480 help not only turn it around, but God will help 0:05:20.520 --> 0:05:23.240 clean it up and cause something good to come out 0:05:23.240 --> 0:05:25.680 of it. But if this is going to happen, you 0:05:25.760 --> 0:05:30.760 can't go through life guilty, condemned, beating yourself up because 0:05:30.760 --> 0:05:34.239 of past mistakes, thinking, Oh, man, I knew I shouldn't 0:05:34.240 --> 0:05:36.719 have hung around those people. Now I've got this addiction. 0:05:37.480 --> 0:05:39.880 Knew I should have stayed in college. I knew I 0:05:39.880 --> 0:05:41.880 should have been faithful in my relationship. 0:05:42.000 --> 0:05:44.719 What was I thinking? No, It takes. 0:05:44.520 --> 0:05:48.240 Boldness to believe that God will bless you in spite 0:05:48.360 --> 0:05:51.960 of your mistakes. The accuser will tell you you can't 0:05:52.000 --> 0:05:54.839 ask God to help you. You made the mess, you 0:05:54.880 --> 0:05:57.080 went the wrong way, you were unfaithful. 0:05:57.600 --> 0:05:59.520 God's not going to listen to you. Who do you 0:05:59.560 --> 0:05:59.960 think you are? 0:06:00.080 --> 0:06:05.520 Answer back, A child of the Most High God, redeemed forgiven, 0:06:06.120 --> 0:06:08.640 covered by mercy. 0:06:08.680 --> 0:06:09.880 This is what Jonah did. 0:06:10.440 --> 0:06:13.160 God told him to go to the city of Nineveh 0:06:13.200 --> 0:06:15.920 and share the good news with the people. But Jonah 0:06:15.960 --> 0:06:18.680 didn't want to go. He wanted to do his own thing. 0:06:18.920 --> 0:06:21.839 He went in the opposite direction. He got on a 0:06:21.839 --> 0:06:26.120 boat headed the wrong way. They encountered a huge storm. 0:06:26.400 --> 0:06:29.680 Everybody on board thought they were going to die. Finally, 0:06:29.760 --> 0:06:33.560 Jonah admitted, Hey everyone, I'm the problem. I'm the one 0:06:33.560 --> 0:06:37.520 that's causing all this turmoil. They didn't say, oh, that's okay, Jonah, 0:06:37.640 --> 0:06:40.360 We'll let it slide. We forgive you. No, they threw 0:06:40.440 --> 0:06:43.680 him overboard. They weren't about to go down with them, 0:06:44.080 --> 0:06:47.120 and Jonah thought he was done. It was his fault. 0:06:47.520 --> 0:06:49.720 He did exactly opposite. 0:06:49.279 --> 0:06:51.160 Of what he knew he was supposed to do. 0:06:51.920 --> 0:06:54.920 He was treading water in the middle of the ocean, 0:06:55.720 --> 0:06:59.799 dark in a storm, looked like it was over. 0:07:00.320 --> 0:07:02.600 He was getting exactly what he deserved. 0:07:03.040 --> 0:07:06.000 But God said, Jonah, you can run the other way, 0:07:06.320 --> 0:07:11.120 but you can outrun my mercy. It's from everlasting to everlasting. 0:07:11.360 --> 0:07:14.600 Wherever you go, I've got you covered. The Psalm has 0:07:14.680 --> 0:07:16.880 put it this way. If you go to the depths 0:07:16.920 --> 0:07:19.760 of the sea or way up in the sky, no 0:07:19.840 --> 0:07:22.680 matter how high or how low, you can. 0:07:22.600 --> 0:07:24.760 Never get away from God's mercy. 0:07:25.080 --> 0:07:28.480 He'll always be there waiting for you, calling your name, 0:07:28.840 --> 0:07:32.440 giving you another chance, ready to help, ready to clean 0:07:32.520 --> 0:07:36.080 up the mess you've made. He's got you covered by 0:07:36.120 --> 0:07:41.120 his mercy. Jonah was feeling guilty, thinking that he was finished. 0:07:41.440 --> 0:07:45.120 The situation looked impossible, no way it was ever going 0:07:45.200 --> 0:07:47.720 to turn out good. But God has a way. 0:07:48.160 --> 0:07:49.560 Even when we don't see away. 0:07:50.440 --> 0:07:54.000 Your situation may seem like it could never turn out right. 0:07:54.360 --> 0:07:57.040 You made the mess. Now it's complicated. 0:07:57.520 --> 0:08:01.680 Other people are involved, the odds are against to be encouraged, 0:08:02.040 --> 0:08:06.120 God already has the solution. He already knows how to 0:08:06.160 --> 0:08:08.720 not just bring you out, but how to clean up 0:08:08.760 --> 0:08:12.440 the mess and bring you out better. All of a sudden, 0:08:12.880 --> 0:08:16.920 this big fish came and swallowed Jonah. Now he's sitting 0:08:17.000 --> 0:08:20.200 in the belly of this fish. He's in one sense 0:08:20.320 --> 0:08:23.800 glad that he's still alive, thankful that he didn't drown. 0:08:24.240 --> 0:08:26.960 In another sense, he's thinking, I wish I would have died. 0:08:27.320 --> 0:08:30.840 It sinks in here. I can't see anything. I'm trapped. 0:08:31.240 --> 0:08:32.319 There's no way out. 0:08:33.120 --> 0:08:37.559 But sitting in the belly of that fish thoughts telling him, Jonah. 0:08:37.320 --> 0:08:40.480 You deserved it. It's your own fault, too bad. 0:08:41.160 --> 0:08:45.160 Instead of listening to the accusing voices, the scripture says, 0:08:45.600 --> 0:08:50.720 Jonah began to pray from inside the fish. He didn't say, God, 0:08:50.840 --> 0:08:54.280 I am so undeserving. I've made such a mess. God 0:08:54.440 --> 0:08:58.280 just helped me to survive. Now, he said, I cried 0:08:58.600 --> 0:09:02.880 unto the Lord in my and he answered me. That 0:09:03.080 --> 0:09:06.239 was a statement of faith. He was still in the fish, 0:09:06.600 --> 0:09:10.280 still in trouble. Yet he's declaring God has answered me. 0:09:11.360 --> 0:09:14.040 He went on to say, I sank down to the 0:09:14.040 --> 0:09:17.600 depths of the ocean. Death was near. But when I 0:09:17.640 --> 0:09:21.360 lost all hope, I turned my thoughts towards you, o Lord, 0:09:21.720 --> 0:09:25.360 for you snatched me from the jaws of death. Now 0:09:25.440 --> 0:09:29.600 I will fulfill my vow. I know salvation and deliverance 0:09:29.679 --> 0:09:33.480 comes from you alone. Notice how much of his prayer 0:09:33.760 --> 0:09:37.040 was in the past, tense, like it had already happened. 0:09:37.720 --> 0:09:42.079 Jonah had this attitude, God, I believe you'll not only 0:09:42.200 --> 0:09:46.000 rescue me, but you'll help clean up this mess. That 0:09:46.040 --> 0:09:49.000 you'll bless me in spite of my mistakes, that I 0:09:49.040 --> 0:09:54.120 will still fulfill my destiny. That takes boldness to ask 0:09:54.160 --> 0:09:57.600 for God's blessings in spite of what you've done wrong. 0:09:58.320 --> 0:10:02.080 Because most of the time we just live guilty, condemned, 0:10:02.440 --> 0:10:05.840 we have no passion. But when you have the boldness 0:10:05.920 --> 0:10:09.400 to say, God, I don't deserve it. I went the 0:10:09.480 --> 0:10:13.040 wrong way. But God, I still believe you'll bless me. 0:10:13.679 --> 0:10:16.959 I still believe you'll show me favor. I still believe 0:10:17.280 --> 0:10:20.960 I can become who you created me to be. When 0:10:21.000 --> 0:10:23.600 you do that, God doesn't say who do you think 0:10:23.640 --> 0:10:26.520 you are? You know what you did wrong. You should 0:10:26.559 --> 0:10:29.040 be grateful to even be alive. No God will do 0:10:29.120 --> 0:10:32.360 for you what he did for Jonah. As soon as 0:10:32.440 --> 0:10:36.400 Jonah God through praying. The scripture says God caused the 0:10:36.480 --> 0:10:39.680 fish to spit him up on the dry ground onto 0:10:39.720 --> 0:10:40.240 that beach. 0:10:40.679 --> 0:10:41.040 Friends. 0:10:41.120 --> 0:10:45.520 God controls the whole universe. God can cause whatever's holding 0:10:45.559 --> 0:10:49.160 you back right now, the dysfunction, the addiction, the sickness, 0:10:49.240 --> 0:10:52.600 the legal problem. God can cause it in a split 0:10:52.679 --> 0:10:56.200 second to set you free, to release its hold. God 0:10:56.400 --> 0:11:00.760 is in control, even of our enemies. Jonah came out 0:11:00.800 --> 0:11:03.320 of this well, washed himself. 0:11:02.880 --> 0:11:04.600 Off, thrilled to be alive. 0:11:05.040 --> 0:11:07.840 He knew it was the mercy of God and that 0:11:07.880 --> 0:11:10.120 could have been the end of the story. That would 0:11:10.120 --> 0:11:14.400 be great. God rescued him, saved him from trouble. But 0:11:14.480 --> 0:11:15.520 God doesn't. 0:11:15.160 --> 0:11:16.559 Want to just bring you out. 0:11:17.240 --> 0:11:20.720 If you'll have the right attitude, shake off the guilt, 0:11:21.320 --> 0:11:25.040 get your passion back. God will give you another chance 0:11:25.360 --> 0:11:28.880 to get to where you're supposed to be. That mistake 0:11:29.200 --> 0:11:33.720 did not disqualify you. You didn't miss your destiny because 0:11:33.760 --> 0:11:37.640 you had a detour. The scripture says, the word of 0:11:37.679 --> 0:11:41.880 the Lord came to Jonah a second time. What did 0:11:41.920 --> 0:11:44.720 God say, Jonah, I want you to go to Nineveh, 0:11:45.360 --> 0:11:48.440 the same thing he said the first time. In other words, 0:11:48.600 --> 0:11:51.600 God didn't say, Jonah, I ask you to do this once, 0:11:52.080 --> 0:11:54.599 but boy, you about warm me out. I had to 0:11:54.600 --> 0:11:57.320 get up off the throne, go find that fish. Jonah, 0:11:57.400 --> 0:12:00.120 you just sit on the sidelines. I'm gonna find somebody 0:12:00.120 --> 0:12:03.920 else now. God will always give you another chance, and 0:12:04.040 --> 0:12:08.040 another chance, and another chance to fulfill the best plan 0:12:08.520 --> 0:12:12.600 that He has for your life. It is not too 0:12:12.679 --> 0:12:17.040 late to become who God created you to be. If 0:12:17.040 --> 0:12:21.520 you will start where you are, honoring God, being your best, 0:12:21.840 --> 0:12:25.319 serving others, the right doors will open, the right people 0:12:25.360 --> 0:12:28.120 will show up. God knows how to make up for 0:12:28.200 --> 0:12:30.880 lost time. He can get you to where he wants 0:12:30.880 --> 0:12:35.120 you to be. The second time God asked Jonah went 0:12:35.200 --> 0:12:38.360 to the city of Ninevah. He obeyed, and he saw 0:12:38.400 --> 0:12:42.200 God do amazing things. The point is Jonah made a 0:12:42.240 --> 0:12:47.400 wrong turn, but that did not stop his destiny. God said, Jonah, 0:12:47.520 --> 0:12:51.120 you had a detour, but that's okay. I've got you covered. 0:12:51.480 --> 0:12:54.880 My mercy is bigger than that mistake. I still want 0:12:54.920 --> 0:12:57.320 you to go to Nineveh. I still want you to 0:12:57.360 --> 0:13:02.080 fulfill my best plan for your life. Maybe, like Jonah, 0:13:02.520 --> 0:13:06.640 you've made some mistakes, taken some wrong terms. It's easy 0:13:06.679 --> 0:13:09.559 to sit on the sidelines of life and think, oh, Joel, 0:13:09.600 --> 0:13:11.360 I can't expect God to bless me. 0:13:12.040 --> 0:13:14.319 You don't know what I've done, blew my. 0:13:14.360 --> 0:13:18.200 Marriage, got these addictions felled in business, made a lot 0:13:18.240 --> 0:13:19.160 of poor choices. 0:13:19.520 --> 0:13:21.720 No, you are no different than Jonah. 0:13:22.280 --> 0:13:24.920 You can either sit there on the beach, so to speak, 0:13:24.960 --> 0:13:27.559 and just be glad you're alive, or you can rise 0:13:27.679 --> 0:13:30.320 up like he did and say, God, I blew it. 0:13:30.559 --> 0:13:34.559 I don't deserve it, but I know salvation and deliverance 0:13:34.640 --> 0:13:35.400 comes from you. 0:13:35.760 --> 0:13:36.040 Lord. 0:13:36.080 --> 0:13:39.080 I believe that you can turn this mess around and 0:13:39.240 --> 0:13:42.320 still help me become who you created. 0:13:41.840 --> 0:13:42.200 Me to be. 0:13:43.200 --> 0:13:46.120 If you'll have an attitude like that, the word of 0:13:46.200 --> 0:13:49.000 the Lord will come to you a second time. God 0:13:49.040 --> 0:13:51.880 will give you another chance. You may be in the 0:13:51.880 --> 0:13:54.400 middle of a mess right now. It was your fault, 0:13:54.960 --> 0:13:58.120 no excuse. You don't see anything good in your future, 0:13:58.600 --> 0:14:02.440 but be encouraged. God has you covered. He's saying to 0:14:02.480 --> 0:14:05.480 you what he said to Jonah. I still want you 0:14:05.520 --> 0:14:08.240 to accomplish your dreams. I still want you to have. 0:14:08.200 --> 0:14:09.160 A great marriage. 0:14:09.280 --> 0:14:11.680 I still want you to live happy, healthy in home. 0:14:11.960 --> 0:14:15.720 I still have a destiny for you to fulfill. We 0:14:15.760 --> 0:14:18.760 can all look back in life and see times where 0:14:19.120 --> 0:14:22.480 we made the mess, but God cleaned it up. We 0:14:22.560 --> 0:14:24.920 lost our temper and said some things that got us 0:14:24.920 --> 0:14:28.120 into trouble. We should have lost our job, but God 0:14:28.160 --> 0:14:30.320 showed us mercy cleaned up the mess. 0:14:30.520 --> 0:14:31.600 We still have it today. 0:14:32.400 --> 0:14:35.600 Or we were unfaithful in a relationship, we should have 0:14:35.680 --> 0:14:39.080 lost our marriage. We made the mess, but God showed 0:14:39.160 --> 0:14:42.800 us mercy cleaned it up. Today we're restored with a healthy, 0:14:42.840 --> 0:14:45.760 happy family and a lot of times when people see 0:14:45.840 --> 0:14:49.440 us blessed and enjoy in life, they think it's because 0:14:49.440 --> 0:14:50.480 we did everything right. 0:14:50.960 --> 0:14:52.400 We didn't make any mistakes. 0:14:53.000 --> 0:14:55.640 But the truth is there were times we made a 0:14:55.680 --> 0:14:59.440 wrong turn, like Jonah, but God caused it to turn 0:14:59.440 --> 0:15:03.160 out right. We took the wrong job, we got involved 0:15:03.160 --> 0:15:06.000 with the wrong people, we said the wrong things, but 0:15:06.120 --> 0:15:09.000 God caused it to all were together for our good. 0:15:09.920 --> 0:15:10.560 There were some. 0:15:10.640 --> 0:15:15.440 Mountains we knew we weren't supposed to climb, but the 0:15:15.520 --> 0:15:19.680 opportunity looked so good we did it anyway, and we 0:15:19.720 --> 0:15:22.800 got halfway up and realized this is not what I 0:15:22.840 --> 0:15:26.240 thought it should be. I can thank God that he 0:15:26.320 --> 0:15:29.000 brought me off of mountains that I was never supposed 0:15:29.040 --> 0:15:31.320 to be on in the first place. He could have 0:15:31.440 --> 0:15:33.640 left us there and say, hey, learn your lesson maybe 0:15:33.640 --> 0:15:34.200 next time. 0:15:34.400 --> 0:15:34.560 You know. 0:15:34.640 --> 0:15:39.000 The good news is we've been covered by mercy one time. 0:15:39.040 --> 0:15:42.640 This business opportunity came along and it was so appealing 0:15:42.680 --> 0:15:45.320 to me. I didn't have to pray about it. I 0:15:45.320 --> 0:15:47.920 didn't have to think twice. I knew it was something 0:15:48.120 --> 0:15:51.560 I wanted to pursue, and it took about six months. 0:15:51.240 --> 0:15:51.920 To come together. 0:15:52.680 --> 0:15:56.720 On several occasions, there were these small signs that something 0:15:56.800 --> 0:16:01.000 wasn't right. I could feel that uneasiness, saying, don't do it, 0:16:01.000 --> 0:16:04.120 it's not what it seems. I didn't pay any attention. 0:16:04.560 --> 0:16:07.280 I wanted it so badly. I pushed through it. We 0:16:07.320 --> 0:16:10.240 got it up in going, but it never took off 0:16:10.400 --> 0:16:14.520 like we thought. There were some circumstances we didn't realize 0:16:14.800 --> 0:16:17.800 that would limit it, and we had a lot invested, 0:16:17.840 --> 0:16:20.280 and we struggled and struggled, tried to make it work. 0:16:20.440 --> 0:16:23.680 But it's like we were always pushing it uphill. And 0:16:23.720 --> 0:16:26.480 when I look back, I can see how God tried 0:16:26.520 --> 0:16:29.040 to warn me, tried to get my attention. I could 0:16:29.080 --> 0:16:32.880 feel that unrest, but I didn't listen. God could have said, Joel, 0:16:32.880 --> 0:16:36.280 well maybe next time you will listen. Too bad for you. No, 0:16:36.720 --> 0:16:40.640 God is not holding that against us. If God only 0:16:40.680 --> 0:16:43.600 gave us what we deserved, none of us would fulfill 0:16:43.640 --> 0:16:44.320 our destiny. 0:16:45.320 --> 0:16:47.200 One day, out of the blue, we. 0:16:47.200 --> 0:16:50.440 Got word that this man was interested in purchasing it. 0:16:50.960 --> 0:16:52.600 The expert said it would never happen. 0:16:52.760 --> 0:16:55.440 He wasn't the right type of buyer, he wasn't even 0:16:55.480 --> 0:16:59.240 in the same field. But against all odds, he not 0:16:59.280 --> 0:17:03.600 only purchased, but he paid almost twice what we were 0:17:03.640 --> 0:17:06.879 told we could sell it for. That's the mercy of 0:17:06.960 --> 0:17:10.840 God cleaning up the mess. God doesn't give us what 0:17:10.880 --> 0:17:16.040 we deserve. We deserve the consequences, we deserve judgment. But 0:17:16.160 --> 0:17:20.080 God gives us mercy. He knows how to make miracles 0:17:20.280 --> 0:17:23.960 out of our mistakes. The accusing voices will tell you, man, 0:17:24.000 --> 0:17:27.199 you are done. It was your fault. You knew not 0:17:27.280 --> 0:17:29.600 to do it in the first place. You pursued the 0:17:29.640 --> 0:17:31.520 wrong dream. Now look at you. 0:17:31.520 --> 0:17:34.240 You're over your head. You can't make ends me. Just 0:17:34.320 --> 0:17:34.960 deal with it. 0:17:35.640 --> 0:17:39.440 No, God is so merciful. He'll take you wrong and he'll. 0:17:39.240 --> 0:17:39.920 Make it right. 0:17:40.440 --> 0:17:44.000 It may have been your fault, you could easily live guilty. No, 0:17:44.119 --> 0:17:47.439 you got to shake that off. God's mercy is bigger 0:17:47.440 --> 0:17:50.640 than that mistake. He knows how to make a miracle 0:17:50.800 --> 0:17:55.040 out of that mess. See covered by mercy means You're 0:17:55.080 --> 0:17:57.720 not just covered as long as you do everything right, 0:17:58.720 --> 0:18:03.200 like Jonah covered even when you go the wrong way. 0:18:03.359 --> 0:18:05.960 Let me make it more practical. Even when we do 0:18:06.080 --> 0:18:09.760 dumb things, God still has us covered. That should make 0:18:09.840 --> 0:18:13.520 us all feel better. I read about this young man 0:18:13.800 --> 0:18:17.199 twenty one years old. He was raised in church. He 0:18:17.280 --> 0:18:20.040 knew the right thing to do, but he got off course, 0:18:20.400 --> 0:18:24.240 started partying and running with the wrong crowd, and one night, 0:18:24.400 --> 0:18:27.760 when it had way too much to drink, his friends 0:18:27.920 --> 0:18:32.119 dared him to climb a telephone pole. He wasn't thinking clearly, 0:18:32.160 --> 0:18:35.320 and he climbed up forty feet in the air, drunk 0:18:35.320 --> 0:18:38.080 as can be. Just as he was about to reach 0:18:38.119 --> 0:18:42.159 the top, he lost his footing, slipped and fell backwards, 0:18:42.840 --> 0:18:46.600 tumbling back on a way to a certain death. Somehow, 0:18:46.720 --> 0:18:49.600 the leather belt that he was wearing caught one of 0:18:49.640 --> 0:18:52.600 the metal rods on the pole, and it acted like 0:18:52.640 --> 0:18:55.840 a harness and saved his life. He was up there 0:18:55.920 --> 0:18:58.880 dangly in the middle of the night. Fire department came 0:18:58.920 --> 0:19:03.359 and rescued him. The newspaper headline read, pants save drunk 0:19:03.400 --> 0:19:07.520 man from a fall. That's the mercy of God. Even 0:19:07.560 --> 0:19:10.520 when we do dumb things, God still has us covered. 0:19:11.920 --> 0:19:15.360 Bottom line, if it's not your time to go, you're 0:19:15.400 --> 0:19:16.080 not going to go. 0:19:17.040 --> 0:19:18.560 Nothing can snatch. 0:19:18.160 --> 0:19:21.280 You out of God's hand. You might as well quit 0:19:21.320 --> 0:19:23.480 fighting the call of God on your life. 0:19:24.160 --> 0:19:27.240 God is not going to leave you alone. Wherever you go, 0:19:27.320 --> 0:19:28.240 He's going to be there. 0:19:28.720 --> 0:19:33.720 The scripture says God's calling is irrevocable. That means you're 0:19:33.720 --> 0:19:35.879 a marked man, you're a marked woman. 0:19:36.119 --> 0:19:37.600 God wants you. 0:19:37.600 --> 0:19:41.240 You can try to ignore it, run, hide, party it away, 0:19:41.320 --> 0:19:44.400 drink it away. After all that, God's going to still 0:19:44.440 --> 0:19:46.680 be there, saying I want you to go to Nineveh. 0:19:46.880 --> 0:19:49.040 I've got something for you to do. I've got a 0:19:49.119 --> 0:19:54.040 destiny for you to fulfill. See, you have an assignment. 0:19:54.960 --> 0:19:58.399 Somebody needs what you have. If you don't step into 0:19:58.400 --> 0:20:01.439 who God's made you to be, this world will not 0:20:01.560 --> 0:20:03.520 be as bright a place as it should have been. 0:20:03.680 --> 0:20:05.080 We'll all miss out. 0:20:05.480 --> 0:20:08.960 And when I say we're covered by mercy, that doesn't 0:20:09.000 --> 0:20:12.960 mean we can just live any way we want. Be sloppy, compromise, 0:20:13.240 --> 0:20:16.280 take the easy way out. Joel said. God will clean 0:20:16.320 --> 0:20:19.119 it up. He'll catch me even when I'm drunk. No, 0:20:19.440 --> 0:20:21.240 some of you think you got your word from the Lord. 0:20:21.280 --> 0:20:25.960 Let me clarify this. When you really know God, when 0:20:26.000 --> 0:20:29.120 you have a relationship with His son Jesus, you want 0:20:29.119 --> 0:20:32.320 to do what's right. You may make mistakes from time 0:20:32.400 --> 0:20:36.160 to time, but you're not trying to see how much 0:20:36.200 --> 0:20:39.560 you can get away with and still feel good about yourself. 0:20:39.920 --> 0:20:42.879 Deep down, you have a desire to honor God, to 0:20:42.960 --> 0:20:46.320 be your best. And the scripture says here in tide 0:20:46.400 --> 0:20:50.320 us God saved us not because of the good things 0:20:50.400 --> 0:20:53.800 we've done, but because of his mercy. 0:20:53.840 --> 0:20:54.600 This is the key. 0:20:55.000 --> 0:20:58.919 His mercy is not based on our performance. If it 0:20:59.000 --> 0:21:02.680 was only depend on us living a perfect life, never 0:21:02.720 --> 0:21:05.240 making a mistake, then none of us would be here. 0:21:05.840 --> 0:21:08.040 You may not have been saved by your pants from 0:21:08.080 --> 0:21:11.680 a telephone poll, but I wonder how many times God 0:21:11.720 --> 0:21:14.919 has saved us from dumb things that we've done. 0:21:14.960 --> 0:21:16.359 I can admit I've done a few. 0:21:16.800 --> 0:21:18.520 Don't look at me like that. I know I'm a 0:21:18.600 --> 0:21:23.520 saint compared to you. But every morning I start off 0:21:23.520 --> 0:21:27.720 the day by thanking God for his goodness, for his blessings, 0:21:27.800 --> 0:21:31.720 his favor, my family, my friends, the opportunity He's given me. 0:21:32.280 --> 0:21:35.359 Then I always follow it up by thanking Him for 0:21:35.520 --> 0:21:39.240 his mercy for the times I didn't make the best decision, 0:21:39.520 --> 0:21:42.479 but he cleaned it up. The times I did something dumb, 0:21:42.480 --> 0:21:44.240 but he brought me out of the mess. 0:21:44.840 --> 0:21:47.760 The times he protected me that I knew nothing about. 0:21:48.440 --> 0:21:51.679 He kept a car from colliding with mine, kept my 0:21:51.840 --> 0:21:55.840 child from harm, saved me from pain and heartache. There 0:21:55.880 --> 0:21:58.800 are many things that we cannot see, but God is 0:21:59.000 --> 0:22:02.639 holding back the forces of darkness, keeping us from accidents 0:22:02.640 --> 0:22:06.080 and harm, moving the wrong people out of the way, 0:22:06.080 --> 0:22:09.560 causing things to work out to our advantage. He's got 0:22:09.560 --> 0:22:13.720 you covered with his mercy. And the beauty is not 0:22:13.880 --> 0:22:17.520 just when we perform perfectly, not just when we measure up, 0:22:17.720 --> 0:22:20.600 but even when we blow it, even when we fail, 0:22:21.119 --> 0:22:23.360 even when we do like Jonah and say God, leave 0:22:23.400 --> 0:22:27.080 me alone, let me do my own thing, You're still covered. 0:22:27.880 --> 0:22:30.280 You may turn your back on God, but he'll never 0:22:30.359 --> 0:22:33.080 turn his back on you. You may run the other way, 0:22:33.280 --> 0:22:37.400 but God will come running towards you. Sometimes people say, Joel, 0:22:37.440 --> 0:22:40.760 I've made so many mistakes, so many poor choices. I 0:22:40.760 --> 0:22:44.600 think I've missed my destiny. I always tell them, you're 0:22:44.640 --> 0:22:49.000 not that powerful. You think your poor choices can stop 0:22:49.160 --> 0:22:52.200 what the creator of the universe, the most high God 0:22:52.400 --> 0:22:57.920 has ordained for you. You think that mistake is too 0:22:58.000 --> 0:23:01.119 much for the mercy of God, that somehow God is 0:23:01.160 --> 0:23:04.320 now confused trying to figure out what to do with 0:23:04.400 --> 0:23:04.920 you next. 0:23:05.160 --> 0:23:07.800 Now God knows the end from the beginning. 0:23:08.400 --> 0:23:12.200 Nothing you've done has to keep you from becoming who 0:23:12.240 --> 0:23:14.720 God's created you to be. But you got to do 0:23:14.840 --> 0:23:18.280 your part and get back in the game. Start honoring 0:23:18.320 --> 0:23:21.280 God with your whole heart, and he'll get you to 0:23:21.320 --> 0:23:24.919 where you're supposed to be. Doctor John Redman is a 0:23:24.960 --> 0:23:28.119 pastor friend of mine, and he told about this woman 0:23:28.160 --> 0:23:31.400 that he knew that was very, very depressed. It kept 0:23:31.440 --> 0:23:34.280 getting worse, and finally she couldn't take it anymore. 0:23:34.520 --> 0:23:37.720 She decided to end her life. She went to bed 0:23:37.840 --> 0:23:40.119 on a Saturday night and was going to do it 0:23:40.160 --> 0:23:40.919 the next morning. 0:23:41.440 --> 0:23:43.880 She has a little dog that sleeps with her, and 0:23:43.960 --> 0:23:47.359 he woke up early Sunday morning and started scratching and scratching, 0:23:47.640 --> 0:23:50.520 trying to wake her up so he could go outside. 0:23:50.600 --> 0:23:53.560 While he was doing that, he hit the remote control 0:23:53.640 --> 0:23:56.800 for the television and turned it on. It just so 0:23:57.000 --> 0:24:01.520 happened that our program came on the television. She started watching, 0:24:01.560 --> 0:24:04.840 and I was talking about how God has your best days. 0:24:04.640 --> 0:24:05.760 Still in front of you. 0:24:05.760 --> 0:24:09.160 You wouldn't be alive unless something amazing was in your future. 0:24:09.400 --> 0:24:12.840 She knew it wasn't a coincidence. Something began to come 0:24:12.880 --> 0:24:15.760 alive on the inside, and at the end of the program, 0:24:15.800 --> 0:24:18.600 I always encourage people to get into a good Bible 0:24:18.640 --> 0:24:22.680 based church. That Sunday morning, she went to doctor Redman's church, 0:24:23.040 --> 0:24:25.919 gave her life to Christ, got her joy back, her 0:24:25.960 --> 0:24:30.600 passion back. Now she's excited about her future. Friends, God's 0:24:30.720 --> 0:24:32.760 mercy is bigger than. 0:24:32.640 --> 0:24:33.560 Our poor choices. 0:24:34.200 --> 0:24:36.840 If it's not your time to go, God can even 0:24:36.960 --> 0:24:39.399 use a dog to get you back on the right track. 0:24:39.720 --> 0:24:43.639 He's got your covered with his mercy. In the scripture, 0:24:44.240 --> 0:24:46.959 when God promised Abraham that he was going to have 0:24:47.000 --> 0:24:50.399 a baby, he and his wife Sarah were nearly eighty, 0:24:50.880 --> 0:24:54.120 way too old to have a child. They waited and waited, 0:24:54.240 --> 0:24:57.120 believing that somehow it would happen. But year after year 0:24:57.160 --> 0:25:00.840 went by still no baby, and Sarah got tired of waiting. 0:25:01.600 --> 0:25:05.800 Talking about making a bad choice, doing something dumb, she 0:25:06.040 --> 0:25:10.680 told Abraham to sleep with her maid, Hagar. They had 0:25:10.680 --> 0:25:14.240 a baby Abraham and Hagar that they named Ishmael. But 0:25:14.359 --> 0:25:18.280 this was not the promised child. This brought all kinds 0:25:18.320 --> 0:25:22.359 of dysfunction into their house. Sarah got mad at Abraham. 0:25:22.880 --> 0:25:25.800 What were you thinking? Abraham said, well, you told me 0:25:25.880 --> 0:25:28.840 to do it. She said, well, you should have known better. Anyway, 0:25:29.640 --> 0:25:33.359 Sarah became very jealous of Hagar and started treating her 0:25:33.440 --> 0:25:37.680 really badly. Finally, she gave Abraham an ultimatum, either this 0:25:37.720 --> 0:25:41.399 woman leaves or I'm going to leave. Abraham had to 0:25:41.480 --> 0:25:46.160 send Hagar and his young son Ishmael out into the desert. 0:25:46.480 --> 0:25:47.919 It was a big mess. 0:25:48.680 --> 0:25:51.479 God could have said, Sarah, too bad. It's your fault. 0:25:51.880 --> 0:25:55.000 You brought the trouble on yourself. You were impatient. You 0:25:55.040 --> 0:25:58.640 should have just waited. But no, even though Sarah made 0:25:58.680 --> 0:26:02.560 a mistake, say it respectfully. Even though she did something 0:26:02.640 --> 0:26:07.040 dumb that did not cancel out the promise. In the natural, 0:26:07.080 --> 0:26:10.040 she was way too old. But one day God gave 0:26:10.080 --> 0:26:13.720 her a baby. She had Isaac, the promised child. What 0:26:13.800 --> 0:26:16.919 am I saying? They made a big mess of things, 0:26:17.400 --> 0:26:20.320 But God not only cleaned up the mess, he made 0:26:20.359 --> 0:26:22.240 a miracle out of their mistake. 0:26:23.160 --> 0:26:26.600 Here's how amazing God is. Hagar the maid. 0:26:27.160 --> 0:26:31.080 She didn't do anything wrong, but her whole world fell apart. 0:26:31.320 --> 0:26:33.800 She was living out in the desert with her son, 0:26:34.400 --> 0:26:36.360 who everyone called a mistake. 0:26:36.840 --> 0:26:38.359 He wasn't the promised child. 0:26:38.880 --> 0:26:41.399 She didn't know how she was going to survive, but 0:26:41.480 --> 0:26:44.400 God said, Heygar, don't worry. I'm going to take care 0:26:44.440 --> 0:26:48.240 of you and your son, who people think is a mistake. 0:26:48.760 --> 0:26:51.400 I'm going to bring out of him a great nation. 0:26:52.359 --> 0:26:53.679 God is so merciful. 0:26:54.040 --> 0:26:54.600 Out of a. 0:26:54.520 --> 0:26:56.960 Great mess, he brought great mess. 0:26:57.760 --> 0:27:00.040 He was saying, Heygar, I'm not going. 0:27:00.200 --> 0:27:04.400 To let other people's poor choices ruin your life. See, 0:27:04.400 --> 0:27:07.040 it's one thing when we make the mess, we have 0:27:07.119 --> 0:27:09.400 to deal with it. We can understand that we brought 0:27:09.440 --> 0:27:13.000 the trouble on ourselves, but when somebody else makes the 0:27:13.080 --> 0:27:17.520 mess and it affects us, that doesn't seem fair Ishmael 0:27:17.600 --> 0:27:20.680 couldn't choose who his parents would be. He couldn't choose 0:27:20.680 --> 0:27:23.639 where he would be born. Hagar didn't ask to have 0:27:23.680 --> 0:27:26.960 a baby with Abraham. She was just following orders, doing 0:27:26.960 --> 0:27:29.879 what she was told. You may be in a mess 0:27:29.920 --> 0:27:33.560 today and it was somebody else's fault. They caused you 0:27:33.680 --> 0:27:37.600 to be at a disadvantage, But be encouraged. God is 0:27:37.640 --> 0:27:40.520 saying to you what he said to Hagar and Ishmael. 0:27:40.960 --> 0:27:44.399 Other people's mistakes are not going to ruin your life. 0:27:44.960 --> 0:27:47.920 They may have put you at a disadvantage, but know this, 0:27:48.400 --> 0:27:51.440 God has you covered. He's going to bring great mess 0:27:51.680 --> 0:27:55.600 out of that great mess, friends, nothing you've done has 0:27:55.720 --> 0:28:00.000 disqualified you. You may have made a poor choice like Sarah, 0:28:00.359 --> 0:28:02.760 but God is still going to bring the promise to pass. 0:28:03.359 --> 0:28:06.119 You may have taken a wrong turn like Jonah, but 0:28:06.200 --> 0:28:08.320 God's still going to cause it to turn out right. 0:28:09.200 --> 0:28:12.119 You may be somebody else's choice has had a negative 0:28:12.160 --> 0:28:15.080 effect on you, but don't worry. God's going to turn 0:28:15.119 --> 0:28:17.960 it around and use it to your advantage. Shake off 0:28:18.000 --> 0:28:18.840 the guilt. 0:28:18.680 --> 0:28:21.680 Quit listening to the accusing voices. God has you. 0:28:21.760 --> 0:28:25.679 Covered with his mercy. If you'll do this, I believe 0:28:25.720 --> 0:28:28.600 and declare. God's not only going to bring you out. 0:28:28.720 --> 0:28:30.280 He's going to clean up your mess. 0:28:30.600 --> 0:28:33.199 He's going to make miracles out of your mistakes. You 0:28:33.240 --> 0:28:37.960 will still fulfill your destiny and become everything God's created 0:28:38.000 --> 0:28:41.200 you to be in Jesus's name, if you receive it, 0:28:41.480 --> 0:28:45.200 can you say him in today?
