Thanks so much 0:02:00.400 --> 0:02:03.000 for tuning in. Thank you again for coming out. I 0:02:03.120 --> 0:02:05.280 like to start with something funny, and I heard about 0:02:05.280 --> 0:02:08.880 this reporter. He was visiting churches all across the country. 0:02:09.280 --> 0:02:12.720 While in New York, he noticed this golden telephone on 0:02:12.760 --> 0:02:16.079 the wall and a sign that said colls ten thousand 0:02:16.120 --> 0:02:17.040 dollars per minute. 0:02:17.720 --> 0:02:19.280 He asked the pastor what it meant. 0:02:19.680 --> 0:02:22.799 The pastor explained that was a direct line to Heaven. 0:02:23.120 --> 0:02:24.919 If you were willing to pay the price, you could 0:02:24.960 --> 0:02:28.960 talk directly to God. He continued visiting different churches and 0:02:29.120 --> 0:02:31.960 saw the same phone with the same sign. When he 0:02:32.040 --> 0:02:35.280 finally made it to Texas, he saw the phone, but 0:02:35.360 --> 0:02:39.520 the sign said calls twenty five cents per minute. Intrigued, 0:02:39.560 --> 0:02:41.840 he asked the pastor why it was so much cheaper. 0:02:42.200 --> 0:02:45.440 The pastor said, you're in Texas now, it's a local call. 0:02:48.200 --> 0:02:51.480 All right, Hold up your Bible. Say it like you 0:02:51.639 --> 0:02:54.960 mean it. This is my Bible. I am what it says, 0:02:54.960 --> 0:02:57.680 I am. I have what it says I have. I 0:02:57.720 --> 0:03:00.480 can do what it says I can do. Today I 0:03:00.520 --> 0:03:03.760 will be taught the word of God. I boldly confess 0:03:04.160 --> 0:03:06.960 my mind is alert my heart is receptive. 0:03:07.240 --> 0:03:10.880 I will never be the same. In Jesus' name, God 0:03:10.919 --> 0:03:11.400 bless you. 0:03:12.600 --> 0:03:15.120 I want to talk to you today about how God 0:03:15.360 --> 0:03:19.040 is in control of the storm. Most of the time, 0:03:19.200 --> 0:03:22.400 we believe God's in control when everything's going our way. 0:03:22.880 --> 0:03:27.000 We're getting good breaks, business is up, the family is happy, 0:03:27.440 --> 0:03:30.639 kids are making good grades. We know God's on the throne. 0:03:31.120 --> 0:03:35.000 We know he's directing our steps. Life is good, but 0:03:35.200 --> 0:03:38.760 having faith doesn't exempt us from difficulties. 0:03:39.240 --> 0:03:41.600 The storms of life come to every person. 0:03:42.200 --> 0:03:45.640 We get a bad medical report, a friend betrays us, 0:03:46.240 --> 0:03:50.400 business takes a downturn. In the difficult times, it's easy 0:03:50.440 --> 0:03:52.200 to think, God, where are you? 0:03:52.840 --> 0:03:54.400 How could you let this happen to me? 0:03:55.280 --> 0:03:58.120 No, the same God that's in control in the good 0:03:58.160 --> 0:04:01.760 times is just as control in the tough times. 0:04:02.440 --> 0:04:05.360 God will not allow a storm. 0:04:05.000 --> 0:04:08.520 Unless he has a divine purpose for it. He never 0:04:08.600 --> 0:04:13.160 said he would prevent every difficulty, but God did promise 0:04:13.400 --> 0:04:15.280 he would use every difficulty. 0:04:15.840 --> 0:04:16.440 Here's the key. 0:04:17.040 --> 0:04:20.800 God will direct the winds of the storm to blow 0:04:20.880 --> 0:04:24.440 you where he wants you to go. We see storms 0:04:24.480 --> 0:04:27.560 as being negative. Oh this is so bad, can't believe 0:04:27.560 --> 0:04:30.880 this is happening to me. But God uses the storm 0:04:31.200 --> 0:04:34.599 to move you from point A to point B. The 0:04:34.640 --> 0:04:38.520 winds may be strong, the circumstances may look bad, but 0:04:38.560 --> 0:04:42.720 if you'll stay in faith, not get better, not start complaining, 0:04:43.200 --> 0:04:46.400 those winds will blow you to a new level of 0:04:46.440 --> 0:04:49.840 your destiny. It may have been meant for your harm, 0:04:50.080 --> 0:04:52.520 but God knows how to shift the winds. 0:04:53.040 --> 0:04:54.200 Instead of blowing. 0:04:53.880 --> 0:04:56.919 You backwards, he can cause them to blow you forward 0:04:57.400 --> 0:05:00.839 where you not only come out better, strong, longer, but 0:05:00.960 --> 0:05:03.400 that storm will move you to a place of. 0:05:03.400 --> 0:05:05.600 Greater blessing, greater influence. 0:05:06.160 --> 0:05:09.000 And a lot of people say they have faith, but 0:05:09.080 --> 0:05:12.240 in the tough times they fall apart. They feel like 0:05:12.320 --> 0:05:15.880 God's disappointed them. They're not going to be happy until 0:05:15.880 --> 0:05:19.279 the storm is over. But you have to realize God 0:05:19.520 --> 0:05:23.919 is in control of that storm. Nothing is happening without 0:05:23.960 --> 0:05:27.440 God's permission. If that storm was going to keep you 0:05:27.480 --> 0:05:31.000 from your destiny, God would have never allowed it. If 0:05:31.000 --> 0:05:35.560 that person that left you that financial difficulty, that legal 0:05:35.640 --> 0:05:39.320 situation was going to stop God's plan for your life, 0:05:39.480 --> 0:05:40.160 he would have. 0:05:40.120 --> 0:05:41.080 Never permitted it. 0:05:41.839 --> 0:05:44.839 The reason he did was to move you one step 0:05:44.920 --> 0:05:48.680 closer to your divine destiny. And instead of using our 0:05:48.720 --> 0:05:52.080 faith to try to pray away every difficulty. 0:05:52.160 --> 0:05:53.760 We should use our faith. 0:05:53.520 --> 0:05:57.000 To believe that when the wind stop blowing, will be 0:05:57.120 --> 0:06:00.680 exactly where God wants us to be. This is what 0:06:00.720 --> 0:06:04.120 the apostle Paul did. God promised that he would stand 0:06:04.160 --> 0:06:08.640 before Caesar. He was doing the right thing, fulfilling his purpose. 0:06:09.080 --> 0:06:12.080 When he was arrested, they put him on a boat 0:06:12.200 --> 0:06:16.479 that was headed toward Rome. Paul told the captain the crew, 0:06:16.800 --> 0:06:18.440 this is not a good time to sail. 0:06:18.640 --> 0:06:20.200 There's bad weather up ahead. 0:06:20.800 --> 0:06:23.880 He had this inside information, but they wouldn't listen to it. 0:06:24.560 --> 0:06:27.080 He was on this ship in the middle of the 0:06:27.120 --> 0:06:32.480 ocean when a huge storm arose. For fourteen days, they 0:06:32.520 --> 0:06:35.799 didn't see the sun nor the stars. It was dark, 0:06:36.400 --> 0:06:40.160 the sea was turbulent, the wind was howling. It got 0:06:40.240 --> 0:06:43.920 so bad they started throwing equipment overboard to try to 0:06:44.000 --> 0:06:47.200 keep the ship from sinking. They were sure they were 0:06:47.240 --> 0:06:50.960 going to be killed. Imagine what must have been going 0:06:51.000 --> 0:06:54.680 through Paul's mind. Here he's doing the right thing, but 0:06:54.760 --> 0:06:57.400 he ends up in the middle of this huge storm. 0:06:58.640 --> 0:07:03.440 Sometimes you fail difficulties not because you're doing something wrong, 0:07:03.880 --> 0:07:07.479 but because you're doing something right. It's just another step 0:07:07.640 --> 0:07:12.040 on the way to your divine destiny. Most storms, we 0:07:12.120 --> 0:07:14.840 can see the end at one point. We know it's 0:07:14.880 --> 0:07:17.040 going to be over. We just have to dig our 0:07:17.080 --> 0:07:20.800 heels in and endure it. But there are some storms, 0:07:21.240 --> 0:07:24.560 like Paul faced, you don't see any sign of the end. 0:07:25.120 --> 0:07:27.840 Doesn't look like it's ever going to turn around. In 0:07:27.920 --> 0:07:31.280 the natural, you'll never get well, never get out of debt. 0:07:31.400 --> 0:07:34.000 The problem will never be resolved. That was the. 0:07:34.000 --> 0:07:38.280 Storm Paul was facing. The crew finally said to Paul, 0:07:38.680 --> 0:07:41.360 you were right. We should have listened to you. Paul 0:07:41.400 --> 0:07:44.040 didn't say, I told you so. Now look what you've done. 0:07:44.080 --> 0:07:45.160 You've doomed us all. 0:07:45.680 --> 0:07:46.560 No, Paul said, in. 0:07:46.560 --> 0:07:49.920 Effect, don't worry about it. The God I serve has 0:07:49.960 --> 0:07:52.720 given me a promise. He said that I will stand 0:07:52.800 --> 0:07:56.440 before Caesar. He would not have allowed this storm if. 0:07:56.320 --> 0:07:58.120 It was going to keep me from my destiny. 0:07:59.120 --> 0:08:02.320 When you have as deep down in your heart, everything 0:08:02.360 --> 0:08:03.920 in the world can come against you. 0:08:04.200 --> 0:08:07.840 The dream looks far away. But like Paul, you know 0:08:07.960 --> 0:08:11.240 that setback is not permanent. It's only temporary. 0:08:11.400 --> 0:08:14.080 It's not going to keep you from becoming who God's 0:08:14.080 --> 0:08:18.240 created you to be. The wind became so strong, the 0:08:18.280 --> 0:08:22.240 waves so big that they could not control the ship anymore. 0:08:23.040 --> 0:08:26.120 Instead of fighting it, instead of trying to steer it 0:08:26.160 --> 0:08:29.120 where they wanted it to go, says in Acts twenty 0:08:29.160 --> 0:08:33.000 seven that they took down the cells and they let 0:08:33.040 --> 0:08:37.320 the wind blow the ship wherever the storm wanted it 0:08:37.360 --> 0:08:41.599 to go. There comes a point when you've done everything 0:08:41.640 --> 0:08:42.240 that you can. 0:08:42.920 --> 0:08:47.440 You've prayed, you believed, you stood in faith. Now you've 0:08:47.440 --> 0:08:48.560 got to do like they did. 0:08:49.040 --> 0:08:52.280 Quit fighting it, quit trying to make it happen your way, 0:08:52.760 --> 0:08:55.040 quit trying to force it to work out, and just 0:08:55.240 --> 0:08:56.600 relinquish control. 0:08:57.559 --> 0:09:01.560 Let the storm take you where God want you to go. 0:09:01.559 --> 0:09:05.319 God will never take you someplace where He won't sustain you. 0:09:06.320 --> 0:09:09.240 When you relinuish control, in other words, when you quit 0:09:09.280 --> 0:09:13.120 worrying about it, quit losing sleep, quit dreading it, and say, God, 0:09:13.480 --> 0:09:17.240 I trust you, I know you control these winds. 0:09:17.520 --> 0:09:20.320 They can either blow me backward, forward. 0:09:19.960 --> 0:09:23.720 Sideways, up, down, But one thing I'm confident in is 0:09:23.760 --> 0:09:26.400 where you take me is where I'm supposed to be. 0:09:27.040 --> 0:09:29.160 That's a powerful attitude. 0:09:29.320 --> 0:09:32.079 When my father was seventy seven years old, he had 0:09:32.080 --> 0:09:36.160 to go on dialysis. He was still ministering most weekends, 0:09:36.559 --> 0:09:39.680 but his health started to go downhill he ended up 0:09:39.720 --> 0:09:40.479 in the hospital. 0:09:41.000 --> 0:09:42.000 The whole church was. 0:09:42.000 --> 0:09:45.080 Praying, believing that he was going to come out of 0:09:45.120 --> 0:09:48.840 it like he had done so many times before, but unfortunately, 0:09:49.320 --> 0:09:50.560 this time he. 0:09:50.480 --> 0:09:51.960 Didn't make it. 0:09:51.960 --> 0:09:54.520 It could have looked like that storm got the best 0:09:54.520 --> 0:09:57.920 of him, but the truth is God was still in control. 0:09:58.520 --> 0:10:01.280 That storm didn't defeat him. It promoted him. 0:10:01.679 --> 0:10:05.240 Those winds blew him into his eternal home, into the 0:10:05.360 --> 0:10:09.200 arms of his heavenly Father. But for our family, it 0:10:09.280 --> 0:10:11.480 seemed like everything was out of control. 0:10:12.240 --> 0:10:15.280 This was one of those storms. We couldn't see the end. 0:10:15.760 --> 0:10:17.600 We didn't know how it was going to work out. 0:10:18.200 --> 0:10:21.320 The critics were saying Lakewood will never make it without 0:10:21.360 --> 0:10:21.880 my dad. 0:10:22.400 --> 0:10:25.200 My own thoughts were telling me that it's never going 0:10:25.280 --> 0:10:28.920 to work out. Lakewood has seen its best days. The 0:10:29.000 --> 0:10:32.400 fact is God could have changed it. God had healed 0:10:32.400 --> 0:10:35.880 my mother of terminal cancer years before. He's God, he 0:10:35.880 --> 0:10:37.600 could have healed my father as well. 0:10:38.440 --> 0:10:39.360 But we all. 0:10:39.200 --> 0:10:42.920 Faced situations that don't turn out the way we had hoped. 0:10:43.440 --> 0:10:46.600 We prayed, we believed, but our loved one didn't make it. 0:10:47.120 --> 0:10:49.920 Our prayers didn't get answered the way we wanted on 0:10:50.000 --> 0:10:50.880 our timetable. 0:10:51.360 --> 0:10:52.400 It's easy to get. 0:10:52.240 --> 0:10:56.480 Negative, bitter, give up on our dreams. My father and 0:10:56.520 --> 0:10:59.720 I were best friends. I'd worked with him for many years, 0:11:00.320 --> 0:11:02.520 travel the world together, and all. 0:11:02.360 --> 0:11:04.320 Of a sudden he was gone. 0:11:04.480 --> 0:11:06.520 I had to do what I'm asking you to do, 0:11:07.080 --> 0:11:10.160 I said, God, I know this storm is not a 0:11:10.240 --> 0:11:13.760 surprise to you. I can't bring my dad back. I 0:11:13.760 --> 0:11:16.840 can't make it happen my way. So God, I'm going 0:11:16.880 --> 0:11:19.360 to turn loose of the cells and I'm gonna let 0:11:19.440 --> 0:11:20.280 your wind. 0:11:20.040 --> 0:11:22.160 Blow me to where you want me to go. 0:11:22.960 --> 0:11:26.200 I relinquished control and came back to that place of 0:11:26.240 --> 0:11:30.760 peace instead of worrying how's it gonna work out, what's 0:11:30.800 --> 0:11:33.600 gonna happen next? No, God, I trust you. I know 0:11:33.640 --> 0:11:37.880 you're in control of these winds. That storm ended up 0:11:37.920 --> 0:11:41.920 blowing me from behind the scenes into the position i'm 0:11:41.960 --> 0:11:44.800 in now. I never dreamed I could do this, but 0:11:44.920 --> 0:11:47.600 this is where the storm took me. That's what the 0:11:47.640 --> 0:11:50.719 scripture means. What is meant for your harm, God will 0:11:50.800 --> 0:11:54.040 use to your advantage. The winds may be blowing in 0:11:54.080 --> 0:11:56.600 your life today, the waves rage, and you don't. 0:11:56.400 --> 0:11:57.079 See the end. 0:11:57.480 --> 0:12:00.600 Why don't you take that step of faith and say, Okay, God, 0:12:00.800 --> 0:12:03.120 I'm gonna let you do it your way. I know 0:12:03.240 --> 0:12:06.560 you have my best interest at heart. This storm cannot 0:12:06.559 --> 0:12:09.400 take me where you don't permit it to go, So God, 0:12:09.720 --> 0:12:13.240 I trust you. When you do that, those winds will 0:12:13.240 --> 0:12:17.160 blow you into a new level of your destiny. May 0:12:17.200 --> 0:12:20.720 not happen overnight, but God is a faithful God. 0:12:21.400 --> 0:12:23.559 His plan for your life will not. 0:12:23.640 --> 0:12:27.560 Be stopped by a storm, by bad break, by the 0:12:27.559 --> 0:12:31.040 loss of a loved one, by an injustice. God said, 0:12:31.080 --> 0:12:34.840 no weapon formed against you is going to prosper. He said, 0:12:34.880 --> 0:12:38.200 when the enemy comes in like a flood, he's going 0:12:38.240 --> 0:12:41.680 to raise up a barrier. You may be in a storm, 0:12:42.040 --> 0:12:44.040 it's pressure all around you. 0:12:44.040 --> 0:12:47.280 You could easily live worried. But know this, the battle 0:12:47.480 --> 0:12:49.960 is not yours. The battle is the lord's. 0:12:50.360 --> 0:12:54.960 God is saying, if you'll trust me, I'll shift those winds, 0:12:55.400 --> 0:12:56.559 and instead of blowing you. 0:12:56.600 --> 0:12:58.680 Backwards, they will thrust you forward. 0:12:59.679 --> 0:13:04.320 Today Lakewood is experiencing our greatest days of ministry. The 0:13:04.360 --> 0:13:07.080 critics said we'd never make it, But today Lakewood is 0:13:07.120 --> 0:13:11.200 stronger than ever. God used the winds of that story 0:13:11.760 --> 0:13:15.760 that were meant to destroy us, and God shifted the direction, 0:13:16.360 --> 0:13:18.600 and they've taken us places we could have never. 0:13:18.440 --> 0:13:21.679 Gone on our own. The same winds. 0:13:21.280 --> 0:13:23.480 That try to hold you back will be the wind 0:13:23.559 --> 0:13:25.320 God uses to thrust you forward. 0:13:26.240 --> 0:13:28.160 I read about this executive. 0:13:28.720 --> 0:13:32.000 He worked for a large home improvement company, and he'd 0:13:32.040 --> 0:13:34.520 been with the company for over thirty years and was 0:13:34.559 --> 0:13:37.720 way up in senior management. They had retail stores all 0:13:37.760 --> 0:13:41.559 over the country. One day they had a corporate restructuring 0:13:41.640 --> 0:13:42.440 and they. 0:13:42.320 --> 0:13:44.440 Decided that they didn't need him anymore. 0:13:45.080 --> 0:13:48.360 Here he had practically built the company from ground up. 0:13:49.120 --> 0:13:51.640 Just when he thought he could relax and enjoy the 0:13:51.760 --> 0:13:54.120 fruit of his hard work, he was having to start 0:13:54.160 --> 0:13:57.640 all over. He felt betrayed. The company that he gave 0:13:57.679 --> 0:14:01.520 his life to just cut him loose. But he understood 0:14:01.559 --> 0:14:05.640 this principle of how God can direct the winds of 0:14:05.679 --> 0:14:09.760 the storm. Instead of getting bitter sitting around all angry, 0:14:10.080 --> 0:14:13.480 he forgave the people that hurt him. He let go 0:14:13.760 --> 0:14:17.000 of what didn't work out. He began to dream of 0:14:17.080 --> 0:14:21.520 new opportunities. He found some friends and they started another company. 0:14:22.000 --> 0:14:25.240 This new company took off and has become one of 0:14:25.280 --> 0:14:29.840 the largest, most successful home improvement stores in all the nation. 0:14:30.240 --> 0:14:33.040 In fact, his new company put the old company out 0:14:33.080 --> 0:14:36.480 of business. The winds that were meant to destroy you. 0:14:36.840 --> 0:14:39.600 God knows how to shift them and use them to 0:14:39.720 --> 0:14:44.240 increase you. Quit mourning over what you've lost, Let go 0:14:44.320 --> 0:14:45.400 of what didn't work. 0:14:45.240 --> 0:14:47.680 Out, forgive the people that hurt you. 0:14:48.280 --> 0:14:51.360 When you dare say God, I trust you to make 0:14:51.400 --> 0:14:54.400 my wrongs right, then those winds that are trying to 0:14:54.440 --> 0:14:58.880 hold you back will shift directions and push you forward. Friends, 0:14:58.920 --> 0:15:02.440 God is incompleat eat control. If God wanted you to 0:15:02.520 --> 0:15:04.800 have that job where you were laid off, you would 0:15:04.840 --> 0:15:05.440 still have it. 0:15:05.880 --> 0:15:07.520 Let it go. He has something better. 0:15:08.280 --> 0:15:10.840 If God wanted that person to stay that left you, 0:15:11.040 --> 0:15:11.880 they would have stayed. 0:15:12.040 --> 0:15:12.480 Let it go. 0:15:13.640 --> 0:15:16.400 If your prayer didn't get answered the way you wanted 0:15:16.680 --> 0:15:20.240 on your timetable, don't get bitter, don't get discouraged. 0:15:20.480 --> 0:15:21.040 Let it go. 0:15:21.440 --> 0:15:24.760 That means God has something better, something greater, something bigger 0:15:24.760 --> 0:15:30.400 in your future. The three Hebrew teenagers Shadrak, me Jack 0:15:30.480 --> 0:15:34.320 and a Bendigo. We're facing a huge storm because they 0:15:34.320 --> 0:15:37.440 wouldn't bow down to the king's golden idol. They were 0:15:37.480 --> 0:15:40.960 about to be thrown into a fiery furnace. I'm sure 0:15:40.960 --> 0:15:44.760 they prayed, God, please keep us out of this fire. God, 0:15:44.800 --> 0:15:47.520 this is dangerous. We could be killed. God were asking 0:15:47.600 --> 0:15:51.200 you to not let this happen. They wanted God to 0:15:51.240 --> 0:15:53.920 do it their way, but God chose to do it 0:15:54.000 --> 0:15:58.400 another way. Sometimes God will deliver you from the fire. 0:15:59.000 --> 0:16:02.200 Other times God will make you fire proof and take 0:16:02.240 --> 0:16:03.080 you through the fire. 0:16:03.880 --> 0:16:05.400 See, there are two kinds of faith. 0:16:06.280 --> 0:16:10.720 There's a delivering faith and there's a sustaining faith. Delivering 0:16:10.760 --> 0:16:13.400 faith is when God keeps you from the fire. 0:16:13.960 --> 0:16:15.960 God keeps you out of the adversity. 0:16:16.440 --> 0:16:19.960 But most of the time we're going to need sustaining faith. 0:16:20.440 --> 0:16:23.680 Sustaining faith is when God takes you through the storm, 0:16:24.120 --> 0:16:30.240 through the difficulty and the wind is blowing. In other words, doubt, anxiety, fear, bitterness. 0:16:30.320 --> 0:16:33.800 You have all these opportunities to get discouraged. But when 0:16:33.840 --> 0:16:36.400 you know that God is in control of the storm, 0:16:36.800 --> 0:16:40.240 you won't live worried. Even if you go through the difficulty, 0:16:40.440 --> 0:16:42.320 you know God will take care of you. 0:16:42.560 --> 0:16:44.120 He'll make you fire proof. 0:16:44.920 --> 0:16:48.720 These three teenagers, they had their hands and feet bound 0:16:48.920 --> 0:16:52.440 with cords, and they were thrown into the fiery furnace. 0:16:52.960 --> 0:16:55.840 But do you know the only thing the fire burned 0:16:55.880 --> 0:16:59.440 off were the cords that were holding them back. They 0:16:59.480 --> 0:17:02.880 went in bound, but they walked out totally free. The 0:17:02.920 --> 0:17:06.480 God we serve knows how to burn up the limitations 0:17:06.480 --> 0:17:09.280 that are holding us back and not harm anything that 0:17:09.320 --> 0:17:13.600 we need. It would have been a great victory to 0:17:13.720 --> 0:17:16.960 have been delivered from the fire. We would all celebrate that, 0:17:17.680 --> 0:17:20.920 but really it's a greater victory for God to take 0:17:20.960 --> 0:17:25.359 them through the fire and make them fireproof. The same 0:17:25.520 --> 0:17:28.880 God that kept them safe in the fiery furnace has 0:17:28.920 --> 0:17:32.800 put a hedge of protection around you. Whether you realize 0:17:32.840 --> 0:17:37.000 it or not, you are fireproof. Don't complain about the storms, 0:17:37.520 --> 0:17:38.879 don't get discouraged and think. 0:17:38.760 --> 0:17:42.000 God, this is too big, this health issue, this. 0:17:42.240 --> 0:17:44.560 Financial difficulty, this legal battle that's gonna be. 0:17:44.560 --> 0:17:45.080 The end of me. 0:17:45.440 --> 0:17:47.840 Know, all it's going to do is burn up the 0:17:47.920 --> 0:17:49.720 limitations that are holding you back. 0:17:49.880 --> 0:17:52.640 You gonna come out stronger, increase. 0:17:52.280 --> 0:17:56.000 Promoted, just like them, without the smell of smoke. Why 0:17:56.760 --> 0:17:59.879 Almighty God is in control of the furnace, He's in 0:18:00.080 --> 0:18:01.120 control of the winds. 0:18:01.640 --> 0:18:04.120 God is even in control of our enemies. 0:18:05.119 --> 0:18:08.720 When Moses told Pharaoh, God said let the people go. 0:18:09.320 --> 0:18:13.280 Pharaoh said no, not once, not twice, not three times. 0:18:13.480 --> 0:18:16.520 He said no again and again and again. 0:18:17.320 --> 0:18:21.920 What's interesting is the scripture says God caused. 0:18:21.560 --> 0:18:25.439 Pharaoh to say no. It wasn't even Pharaoh's choice. 0:18:25.760 --> 0:18:29.880 God caused him to refuse Why so God could show 0:18:29.920 --> 0:18:34.520 his power in a greater way. Sometimes God will not 0:18:34.680 --> 0:18:35.879 remove the obstacle. 0:18:36.320 --> 0:18:38.080 He won't deliver you from the storm. 0:18:38.359 --> 0:18:41.240 Not because he's mean, not because he's trying to make 0:18:41.280 --> 0:18:44.679 your life miserable. No, because he wants to show his 0:18:44.880 --> 0:18:48.480 favor in your life in a greater way. You may 0:18:48.520 --> 0:18:51.520 be in a storm, but remember God is in control. 0:18:51.680 --> 0:18:52.440 Stay in peace. 0:18:53.280 --> 0:18:56.640 Do like Daniel when they threw him into the lines 0:18:56.760 --> 0:19:00.159 den hungry lions. They came back the next morning and 0:19:00.240 --> 0:19:03.719 to check on him, fully expecting him to be torn apart. 0:19:04.080 --> 0:19:06.480 You know what, They found Daniel over by the water, 0:19:06.760 --> 0:19:09.040 sound asleep, right next. 0:19:08.920 --> 0:19:09.960 To hungry lions. 0:19:10.240 --> 0:19:14.959 Daniel wasn't worried, wasn't taking tranquilizers, wasn't hiding in the corner. 0:19:15.280 --> 0:19:16.480 Daniel was in peace. 0:19:16.760 --> 0:19:20.040 He knew he was lying proof, he knew the storm 0:19:20.160 --> 0:19:24.480 could not take him where God could not keep him. 0:19:24.640 --> 0:19:27.600 Maybe you feel like you're in the lions den, maybe 0:19:27.640 --> 0:19:30.680 a fiery furnace you could easily live, all stressed out, 0:19:30.720 --> 0:19:34.000 all worried. God is saying, come back to that place 0:19:34.040 --> 0:19:37.480 of peace. He has you in the palm of his hand. 0:19:38.000 --> 0:19:40.240 As long as you're being your best. 0:19:40.280 --> 0:19:41.119 Honoring him. 0:19:41.440 --> 0:19:44.680 The winds may come, but he will shift the winds 0:19:44.760 --> 0:19:45.640 in your direction. 0:19:46.080 --> 0:19:48.359 Instead of defeating you. They will promote you. 0:19:48.880 --> 0:19:53.000 What is now your test will become your testimony. 0:19:53.720 --> 0:19:56.600 I know this lady. She got a bad medical report. 0:19:57.040 --> 0:20:00.240 The doctors found what they thought might be cancered. We 0:20:00.359 --> 0:20:03.640 prayed and believe that the report would come back negative, 0:20:03.800 --> 0:20:06.119 but a few weeks later they found out indeed it 0:20:06.240 --> 0:20:09.199 was cancering. She's been coming here a long time, and 0:20:09.560 --> 0:20:11.359 she knows she's not a victim. 0:20:11.480 --> 0:20:12.360 She's a victor. 0:20:12.880 --> 0:20:16.399 She understands this principle that God is in control of 0:20:16.440 --> 0:20:17.000 the storm. 0:20:17.400 --> 0:20:19.160 She didn't get bitter angry. 0:20:19.320 --> 0:20:23.520 Her attitude was, God, I've prayed, I've believed, I've done 0:20:23.560 --> 0:20:24.040 my part. 0:20:24.200 --> 0:20:25.760 Now God, I'm going to trust you. 0:20:26.280 --> 0:20:28.960 I believe these winds will blow me to where you 0:20:29.040 --> 0:20:32.560 want me to go. For one year, she took chemotherapy. 0:20:32.920 --> 0:20:35.560 Today she is six years cancer free. 0:20:35.880 --> 0:20:36.760 You know what she does. 0:20:38.560 --> 0:20:42.080 She's not only one of our prayer partners that praise 0:20:42.119 --> 0:20:45.440 for others, but she goes back to that hospital and 0:20:45.560 --> 0:20:50.600 volunteers to encourage people that are facing cancer. See, it's 0:20:50.680 --> 0:20:53.439 great for God to deliver us from the fire. 0:20:53.520 --> 0:20:54.679 That's always our prayer. 0:20:55.280 --> 0:20:57.800 But what I want us to see today is even 0:20:57.840 --> 0:21:00.800 if it doesn't happen that way, God is still going 0:21:00.840 --> 0:21:03.920 to take care of you. He's in control of the winds. 0:21:04.160 --> 0:21:07.200 He's the one calling the shots. And if he chooses 0:21:07.280 --> 0:21:10.359 to not deliver you from the storm, stay in faith. 0:21:10.600 --> 0:21:13.080 That just means you're going to have a greater testimony. 0:21:13.320 --> 0:21:15.720 You're going to see God's favor in a new way. 0:21:16.600 --> 0:21:19.240 I love the fact that she is now helping people 0:21:19.359 --> 0:21:23.480 overcome in that same area. Your test will become your 0:21:23.560 --> 0:21:26.800 testimony where you can tell people, hey, look God did 0:21:26.800 --> 0:21:30.080 it for me, he can do it for you. When 0:21:30.080 --> 0:21:33.280 we were trying to acquire this new facility, God didn't 0:21:33.280 --> 0:21:35.160 deliver us from the storm. 0:21:35.520 --> 0:21:39.440 It was one battle after another. God could have given. 0:21:39.240 --> 0:21:42.240 Us the victory the first day we prayed just as 0:21:42.280 --> 0:21:46.040 easily as he did three years later. He's God, but 0:21:46.160 --> 0:21:50.040 know his ways are not always our ways. During those 0:21:50.080 --> 0:21:53.760 three years, I learned to trust God like I had 0:21:53.800 --> 0:21:57.879 never trusted him before. Some things you can only learn 0:21:58.040 --> 0:22:00.600 in the storm, when the battle raging. 0:22:01.000 --> 0:22:02.800 When you don't know how you're going to make it. 0:22:03.200 --> 0:22:06.959 That's when you'll experience the faithfulness of God. 0:22:06.480 --> 0:22:08.240 Like you've never experienced it before. 0:22:09.000 --> 0:22:12.880 Now I can tell people with confidence when it looks impossible, 0:22:13.240 --> 0:22:16.159 when the odds are against you, when the medical report 0:22:16.200 --> 0:22:20.000 says no way, when the financial situation looks bleak, when 0:22:20.040 --> 0:22:22.480 your own thoughts are saying you're not going to make it. Now, 0:22:22.600 --> 0:22:25.240 let me tell you first hand. The God we serve 0:22:25.400 --> 0:22:27.919 can make a way. He is a faithful God. 0:22:28.359 --> 0:22:31.679 You see this building, this beautiful facility. This is the 0:22:31.720 --> 0:22:32.639 goodness of God. 0:22:33.400 --> 0:22:35.719 If he did it for us, he can do it 0:22:35.760 --> 0:22:36.920 for you. 0:22:36.920 --> 0:22:40.000 Your test will become your testimony. 0:22:40.359 --> 0:22:43.119 The ship Paul and the crew were on hit a 0:22:43.119 --> 0:22:47.720 big sandbarn, ended up breaking all apart. They all swam 0:22:47.840 --> 0:22:51.520 over to a small island called Malta. That's not where 0:22:51.560 --> 0:22:55.000 Paul was planning on going. He could have thought, God, 0:22:55.600 --> 0:22:57.280 you said I'd stand before Caesar. 0:22:57.720 --> 0:22:58.480 What happened? God? 0:22:58.560 --> 0:23:02.399 Your plan didn't work out? No, that storm didn't stop 0:23:02.480 --> 0:23:06.280 God's plan. It was a part of God's plan. On 0:23:06.320 --> 0:23:11.240 that small island, the chief's father was extremely sick. Paul 0:23:11.320 --> 0:23:14.760 prayed for him and he was healed. One by one, 0:23:14.840 --> 0:23:18.480 they brought other people to Paul. He prayed, and God healed. 0:23:19.160 --> 0:23:23.000 Paul ended up sharing his faith, and the whole island came. 0:23:22.880 --> 0:23:25.040 To know the Lord. What happened. 0:23:25.560 --> 0:23:29.280 God used the winds of that storm to blow Paul 0:23:29.520 --> 0:23:33.160 to people in need. Had it not been for the storm, 0:23:33.359 --> 0:23:36.200 the Father would have never been well, the people would 0:23:36.240 --> 0:23:37.600 have never heard the good news. 0:23:38.320 --> 0:23:39.240 The storm may. 0:23:39.119 --> 0:23:42.000 Have been meant for your harm, but God knows how 0:23:42.040 --> 0:23:45.760 to direct the winds and not only protect you, but 0:23:45.840 --> 0:23:48.280 to take you to a place where you can be 0:23:48.359 --> 0:23:51.960 a blessing to somebody else in need. On the way 0:23:52.000 --> 0:23:54.840 out of your storm. Don't be surprised if. 0:23:54.720 --> 0:23:58.520 You have interruptions inconveniences. 0:23:57.600 --> 0:24:00.840 Not what you had planned. God or dam that so 0:24:00.960 --> 0:24:04.320 you can be a blessing. Don't just look for your miracle. 0:24:04.800 --> 0:24:08.880 Become someone's miracle. As you reach out to others in need, 0:24:09.440 --> 0:24:12.439 as you lift the fallen, as you encourage those that 0:24:12.520 --> 0:24:15.560 are down, as you become a friend to the lonely. 0:24:16.119 --> 0:24:19.720 That's when your breakthrough will come. The scripture says, pray 0:24:19.840 --> 0:24:23.800 one for another so that you may be healed. One 0:24:23.840 --> 0:24:26.480 of the tests you have to pass is being good 0:24:26.520 --> 0:24:30.320 to somebody else in the midst of your storm. That's 0:24:30.359 --> 0:24:32.560 what a friend of mine did. He's one of our 0:24:32.600 --> 0:24:35.720 staff members. Craig and his wife, Samantha have a little 0:24:35.720 --> 0:24:39.320 boy that has autism. Of course, that's not what they 0:24:39.359 --> 0:24:43.400 had planned in life. They could have gotten bitter, angry, God, 0:24:43.560 --> 0:24:44.879 why did we end up here? 0:24:45.200 --> 0:24:48.560 We're good people? How come we're facing this storm? 0:24:48.920 --> 0:24:48.960 Know? 0:24:49.119 --> 0:24:52.080 Their attitude was, God, we know you're in control of 0:24:52.119 --> 0:24:55.040 this storm. We believe your winds will blow us to 0:24:55.080 --> 0:24:57.840 where you want us to go. Craig used to be 0:24:57.920 --> 0:25:01.200 the head of our children's department. A few years ago, 0:25:01.680 --> 0:25:05.399 he realized how many people couldn't come to services because 0:25:05.440 --> 0:25:08.879 they have children with special needs. So he started the 0:25:09.040 --> 0:25:13.479 Champion's Class. That's a class for special needs children. Today, 0:25:13.520 --> 0:25:16.720 there are over three hundred kids in that class, plus 0:25:17.000 --> 0:25:21.399 many more parents and family members can come and enjoy 0:25:21.440 --> 0:25:26.360 the services. Not only that, other churches across the country 0:25:26.400 --> 0:25:30.320 have copied our model and now there are Champions Classes 0:25:30.359 --> 0:25:34.120 for children with special needs in churches all across the country. 0:25:34.640 --> 0:25:35.320 What happened? 0:25:36.000 --> 0:25:39.240 God used that storm to blow him to people in need. 0:25:39.800 --> 0:25:42.439 He realized God was directing. 0:25:41.960 --> 0:25:44.880 The winds of that storm. Here's the amazing thing. 0:25:45.320 --> 0:25:48.400 Their little boy keeps getting better and better. The first 0:25:48.520 --> 0:25:52.280 few years he couldn't speak in complete sentences, but now 0:25:52.440 --> 0:25:54.720 he is able to talk. You've heard him say, this 0:25:54.760 --> 0:25:58.680 is my Bible. I am what it says. I am 0:25:58.840 --> 0:26:01.920 as Craig and Samantha help others. 0:26:02.400 --> 0:26:04.040 God is meeting their own needs. 0:26:05.080 --> 0:26:09.360 I've heard the saying when everything comes against you, remember 0:26:09.760 --> 0:26:13.640 airplanes take off against the wind, not with the wind. 0:26:14.440 --> 0:26:17.080 Those winds were never meant to push you down. They 0:26:17.119 --> 0:26:19.639 were meant to lift you to a higher level of 0:26:19.680 --> 0:26:23.800 your destiny. When an egle faces a storm, he doesn't 0:26:23.840 --> 0:26:28.879 try to fight his way through the wind, through the rain, frustrated, struggling, 0:26:29.080 --> 0:26:32.560 putting forth all this effort. No, he simply stretches out 0:26:32.600 --> 0:26:36.640 his wings and he lets the strong winds lift. 0:26:36.440 --> 0:26:38.280 Him higher and higher. 0:26:38.680 --> 0:26:41.679 Finally he rises above the storm, where it's as calm 0:26:41.720 --> 0:26:42.840 and peaceful as can be. 0:26:43.720 --> 0:26:46.560 When the winds are blowing, things come against you. 0:26:46.840 --> 0:26:51.240 It's easy to get frustrated, start fighting, trying to change 0:26:51.320 --> 0:26:53.960 things that you were never meant to change. Worried about 0:26:54.000 --> 0:26:57.639 the medical report, can't sleep at night, anxiety, fear, No, 0:26:58.080 --> 0:27:00.960 be an eagle God, I've done it everything I can. 0:27:01.200 --> 0:27:03.720 Now I'm going to quit struggling. I'm going to quit 0:27:03.760 --> 0:27:06.000 trying to make it happen my way. God, I'm going 0:27:06.040 --> 0:27:09.159 to trust you. When you come back to that place 0:27:09.160 --> 0:27:13.080 of peace, knowing that God is in control of the storm, 0:27:13.400 --> 0:27:15.840 then those winds that were meant to push you down 0:27:16.119 --> 0:27:16.640 will end. 0:27:16.600 --> 0:27:18.680 Up lifting you higher and higher. 0:27:19.400 --> 0:27:22.720 Remember, God wouldn't have allowed the storm if it was 0:27:22.800 --> 0:27:24.679 going to keep you from your destiny. 0:27:25.280 --> 0:27:28.600 Since he allowed it, that means God's going to get glory. 0:27:28.840 --> 0:27:31.560 He's going to show you his favor, his power, his 0:27:31.600 --> 0:27:35.200 goodness in a greater way. Now, quit fighting it, Quit 0:27:35.240 --> 0:27:38.359 living frustrated. Come to that point where you say, God, 0:27:38.920 --> 0:27:39.720 I'm going to let. 0:27:39.680 --> 0:27:42.520 These winds take me to where you want me to go. 0:27:43.240 --> 0:27:47.280 When you relinquish control, those winds will blow you into 0:27:47.320 --> 0:27:50.439 the fullness of your destiny. I know some of you 0:27:50.480 --> 0:27:54.480 today you're in a storm like the Hebrew teenagers. God 0:27:54.520 --> 0:27:57.600 didn't deliver you from the fire. But let me encourage you. 0:27:57.720 --> 0:28:01.320 Let me speak faith into you. God has made you fireproof. 0:28:01.720 --> 0:28:04.960 You're gonna come out of that fire promoted, increase better 0:28:05.160 --> 0:28:06.479 without the smell of smoke. 0:28:06.720 --> 0:28:07.439 What is your. 0:28:07.400 --> 0:28:11.480 Tests now will soon become your testimony. Now shake off 0:28:11.520 --> 0:28:14.960 the discouragement, shake off the self pity, and get ready 0:28:15.000 --> 0:28:16.280 for God to do something new. 0:28:16.720 --> 0:28:18.320 Those winds that are blowing. 0:28:18.080 --> 0:28:21.080 Against you are about to shift directions, and they're going 0:28:21.160 --> 0:28:24.400 to start thrusting you forward. Now. I believe and declare 0:28:24.680 --> 0:28:26.760 you will overcome every obstacle. 0:28:27.000 --> 0:28:31.280 You will rise above every storm. You will accomplish your dreams. 0:28:31.520 --> 0:28:34.200 You will fulfill your God given destiny. 0:28:34.520 --> 0:28:35.560 In Jesus's name. 0:28:35.880 --> 0:28:37.520 If you receive it, give the Lord a shout of 0:28:37.560 --> 0:28:41.520 praise to the amen. We never like to close our 0:28:41.520 --> 0:28:45.040 broadcast without giving you an opportunity to make Jesus the 0:28:45.080 --> 0:28:45.960 Lord of your life. 0:28:46.280 --> 0:28:47.200 Would you pray with me? 0:28:47.840 --> 0:28:52.880 Just say, Lord, Jesus, I repent of my sins. Come 0:28:52.920 --> 0:28:56.320 into my heart. I make you my Lord and savior. 0:28:57.560 --> 0:28:59.640 Friends, if you prayed that simple prayer. 0:28:59.400 --> 0:29:02.160 We believe you born again.
