I'd like to get started each week 0:01:43.120 --> 0:01:45.240 with something kind of funny. And I heard about this 0:01:45.400 --> 0:01:47.360 lady that was shopping with her husband. 0:01:47.880 --> 0:01:49.960 He had asked her to not buy any new clothes. 0:01:50.400 --> 0:01:53.000 Well, she saw this dress in the window and decided 0:01:53.120 --> 0:01:55.760 to try it on. She liked it so much she 0:01:55.920 --> 0:01:58.800 bought it in secret. A couple of days later, the 0:01:58.880 --> 0:02:02.120 husband discovered it. He was so upset, and she explained 0:02:02.160 --> 0:02:04.600 to him that when she tried it on, it looks 0:02:04.640 --> 0:02:07.480 so good that Satan tempted her to buy it and 0:02:07.520 --> 0:02:07.840 she just. 0:02:07.760 --> 0:02:10.120 Couldn't resist it. He said, well, why didn't you do what. 0:02:10.080 --> 0:02:12.240 The scripture says and say get behind me? 0:02:12.360 --> 0:02:12.680 Satan. 0:02:13.080 --> 0:02:15.240 She said, I did, and he told me it looked 0:02:15.240 --> 0:02:19.760 even better from a distance. All right, hold up your Bible, 0:02:19.960 --> 0:02:20.480 say it like. 0:02:20.440 --> 0:02:23.600 You mean it. This is my Bible. I am what 0:02:23.720 --> 0:02:24.440 it says. I am. 0:02:25.000 --> 0:02:27.560 I have what it says I have. I can do 0:02:27.639 --> 0:02:30.240 what it says I can do. Today I will be 0:02:30.320 --> 0:02:34.519 taught the word of God. I boldly confess. My mind 0:02:34.639 --> 0:02:38.200 is alert, my heart is receptive. I will never be 0:02:38.320 --> 0:02:44.360 the same. I am about to receive the incorruptible, indestructible, ever. 0:02:44.160 --> 0:02:46.440 Living seed of the Word of God. 0:02:47.000 --> 0:02:50.880 I'll never be the same, never, never, never, I'll never 0:02:50.960 --> 0:02:51.600 be the same. 0:02:52.080 --> 0:02:54.520 In Jesus's name, God bless you. 0:02:55.240 --> 0:02:58.560 I want to talk to you today about making preparations 0:02:58.800 --> 0:03:02.080 for the good things God has in store. God has 0:03:02.120 --> 0:03:04.960 put dreams and desires in every one of our hearts. 0:03:05.480 --> 0:03:08.560 We all have promises that we're standing on, things that 0:03:08.600 --> 0:03:12.480 we're believing to come to pass. But almost always there's 0:03:12.520 --> 0:03:16.720 a time of waiting involved. Maybe you're waiting for a 0:03:16.760 --> 0:03:21.400 relationship to improve, waiting to get married, waiting for a promotion, 0:03:22.120 --> 0:03:25.720 even waiting to overcome an illness. Much of life is 0:03:25.760 --> 0:03:28.960 spent waiting, and there's a right way to wait and 0:03:29.000 --> 0:03:30.280 there's a wrong way to wait. 0:03:31.120 --> 0:03:32.560 Too often, when. 0:03:32.400 --> 0:03:36.560 Things don't happen on our timetable, we get down and discouraged, 0:03:37.120 --> 0:03:39.400 and even though we have the promise in our heart, 0:03:39.480 --> 0:03:42.720 even though we know God has more in store, we 0:03:42.880 --> 0:03:46.080 just give up and settle for the status quo. I 0:03:46.120 --> 0:03:50.200 believe it's because we're not waiting the right way. And 0:03:50.240 --> 0:03:53.440 the scripture says here in James five to seven, be 0:03:53.640 --> 0:03:58.480 patient as you wait. Notice it doesn't say if you wait, 0:03:58.680 --> 0:04:00.000 It says as you wait. 0:04:00.680 --> 0:04:02.480 The fact is we're all going to wait. 0:04:03.280 --> 0:04:07.600 It goes on to say, see how the farmer waits expectantly. 0:04:08.440 --> 0:04:12.040 That's the key. We have to wait with expectancy. 0:04:12.760 --> 0:04:17.080 We're not supposed to sit around discouraged, negative thinking my 0:04:17.200 --> 0:04:21.320 situation's never going to change. I prayed, I believed, but 0:04:21.400 --> 0:04:22.800 I don't see how I can ever get. 0:04:22.640 --> 0:04:23.679 Out of this mess, Joel. 0:04:24.160 --> 0:04:29.400 No. To wait with expectancy means we're hopeful. We're positive. 0:04:29.720 --> 0:04:33.640 We get up every morning expecting good things. We may 0:04:33.680 --> 0:04:36.440 have problems, but we know this could be the day 0:04:36.520 --> 0:04:39.039 God turns it around. This could be the day I 0:04:39.040 --> 0:04:42.159 get the break that I need. See, waiting should not 0:04:42.240 --> 0:04:45.760 be a passive thing. When we're waiting the correct way. 0:04:46.160 --> 0:04:49.480 We're on the lookout. We talk like it's going to happen. 0:04:49.640 --> 0:04:53.200 We act like it's going to happen. We're making preparations. 0:04:53.880 --> 0:04:56.960 It's just like if you're expecting someone for dinner, you 0:04:57.000 --> 0:04:59.680 don't wait till they show up before you decide to 0:04:59.680 --> 0:05:00.359 start cooking. 0:05:00.720 --> 0:05:01.880 At least I hope you don't. 0:05:02.480 --> 0:05:05.080 Most likely, you start early in the day, make sure 0:05:05.120 --> 0:05:07.800 the house is clean. You'll go to the grocery store, 0:05:08.040 --> 0:05:11.160 buy some flowers for the table, swing by the bakery, 0:05:11.400 --> 0:05:15.080 get your favorite dessert low fat. Of course you make 0:05:15.160 --> 0:05:20.400 all these preparations. Why because you're expecting someone. Well, that's 0:05:20.440 --> 0:05:23.520 the attitude we need to have while we're waiting for 0:05:23.600 --> 0:05:25.480 God's promises to come to pass. 0:05:25.720 --> 0:05:27.320 It's not enough to just pray. 0:05:27.760 --> 0:05:31.360 We have to put actions behind our prayers. The scripture 0:05:31.400 --> 0:05:37.119 says this faith without corresponding actions is dead. In other words, 0:05:37.200 --> 0:05:39.880 we can believe one way, we can talk one way, 0:05:40.279 --> 0:05:43.640 but if we're not putting the right actions behind our faith, 0:05:43.839 --> 0:05:46.159 it's not going to do any good. I talk to 0:05:46.200 --> 0:05:48.960 this young man that has a dream to go to college, 0:05:49.360 --> 0:05:52.039 but nobody in his family has gone before, and he 0:05:52.120 --> 0:05:54.719 began to list all of his obstacles, Joel, I don't 0:05:54.760 --> 0:05:56.560 know if I can afford it. I don't know if 0:05:56.560 --> 0:05:58.479 it make good enough grades. I don't know if they'll 0:05:58.520 --> 0:06:01.120 accept me. I don't know what my other family members 0:06:01.120 --> 0:06:03.680 will think. He was about to talk himself out of it. 0:06:04.160 --> 0:06:06.680 Finally I had to stop him and said, hey, why 0:06:06.720 --> 0:06:09.000 don't you take a step of faith. Why don't you 0:06:09.040 --> 0:06:13.080 put some actions behind your prayers and at least go 0:06:13.120 --> 0:06:16.560 get an application. At least go tour of the campus, 0:06:16.760 --> 0:06:21.080 Go talk to the school counselors, make preparations to succeed. 0:06:21.960 --> 0:06:24.479 If you'll do what you can, then God will do 0:06:24.560 --> 0:06:27.799 what you can. But too often we're believing one way, 0:06:28.200 --> 0:06:30.520 but with our actions we're doing just the opposite. 0:06:30.640 --> 0:06:32.800 We're actually preparing for defeat. 0:06:33.240 --> 0:06:35.880 Maybe you come from a long line of divorce in 0:06:35.960 --> 0:06:38.839 your family, Well you need to start planning what you're 0:06:38.839 --> 0:06:41.600 going to do on your first wedding anniversary and on 0:06:41.640 --> 0:06:45.400 your fifth anniversary and on your twenty fifth anniversary. Talk 0:06:45.560 --> 0:06:48.560 like it's going to work out. Make plans like it's 0:06:48.600 --> 0:06:49.440 going to succeed. 0:06:50.200 --> 0:06:52.600 Not any of this. If we make it, maybe we're 0:06:52.640 --> 0:06:53.800 go on a cruise next year. 0:06:54.279 --> 0:06:56.599 No, get rid of the if and start saying when 0:06:56.720 --> 0:06:59.560 we make it. I know I've already planned Victoria in 0:06:59.560 --> 0:07:01.200 my fifth wedding anniversary. 0:07:01.240 --> 0:07:03.920 That girl stuck with me. I'm taking her to dairy Queen. 0:07:06.800 --> 0:07:10.000 I'm just kidding. We're going to Sonic. That's cheaper. 0:07:11.880 --> 0:07:16.920 But stay hopeful, stay positive, and make preparations to succeed. 0:07:17.560 --> 0:07:22.840 We have to understand there's a difference between believing and expecting. 0:07:23.600 --> 0:07:26.040 You can be believing to have a child and not 0:07:26.160 --> 0:07:27.080 even be pregnant. 0:07:27.520 --> 0:07:31.080 But when you go from believing to expecting, you kick 0:07:31.120 --> 0:07:34.840 into a different year. When you're expecting, you'll go furnish 0:07:34.960 --> 0:07:38.320 the nursery, You'll buy clothes for a baby that's not here. 0:07:38.760 --> 0:07:41.240 You'll call your friends and relatives let them know the 0:07:41.280 --> 0:07:44.040 good news. Hey, baby's on its way. You may all 0:07:44.080 --> 0:07:47.840 these preparations. It affects your attitude, how you talk, how 0:07:47.880 --> 0:07:50.640 you think. And it's funny. You don't go a couple 0:07:50.640 --> 0:07:52.400 of months and say, you know what, I don't think 0:07:52.400 --> 0:07:55.200 we're expecting anymore. I don't think that baby's in you. 0:07:55.200 --> 0:07:57.720 You don't look any different, I don't feel anything. No, 0:07:57.880 --> 0:08:00.960 it doesn't matter what you see or feel. You've got 0:08:00.960 --> 0:08:03.680 a report from the doctor that says, a baby's on 0:08:03.760 --> 0:08:06.840 its way. That's all you need to make those preparations. 0:08:07.400 --> 0:08:09.000 We need to do the same thing. 0:08:09.240 --> 0:08:12.000 When God puts a dream in your heart, all of 0:08:12.040 --> 0:08:14.800 a sudden, one of his promises come alive, and you 0:08:14.960 --> 0:08:18.240 know your family can be restored. You know you can 0:08:18.280 --> 0:08:21.560 be healthy again. You know you can accomplish your dreams. 0:08:21.960 --> 0:08:24.640 First thing is you have to let the seed really 0:08:24.680 --> 0:08:27.760 take root. But you can't stop there. You've got to 0:08:27.800 --> 0:08:28.360 go from. 0:08:28.200 --> 0:08:30.160 Believing to expecting. 0:08:31.000 --> 0:08:32.880 Well, you say, Joel, I'm doing that, but I don't 0:08:32.880 --> 0:08:36.680 see anything happening. I don't see my finances improving. I 0:08:36.720 --> 0:08:39.720 don't see any doors opening. My marriage is not getting 0:08:39.720 --> 0:08:40.199 any better. 0:08:40.720 --> 0:08:44.000 Now, listen to this scripture. We walk by faith and 0:08:44.080 --> 0:08:44.839 not by sight. 0:08:45.559 --> 0:08:48.160 If you can see everything happening, you don't really need 0:08:48.240 --> 0:08:51.480 any faith. But when you have nothing to stand on 0:08:51.720 --> 0:08:54.840 in the natural, but you start acting like God's word 0:08:54.920 --> 0:08:58.920 is true, you start talking like it. You're positive, you're hopeful, 0:08:59.160 --> 0:09:01.920 you're putting action behind your faith. Let me tell you 0:09:02.400 --> 0:09:05.640 that's what gets God's attention, That's what caused him to 0:09:05.679 --> 0:09:09.200 work supernaturally in your life. What happened you went from 0:09:09.200 --> 0:09:14.080 believing to expecting that's what we did concerning the Compact Center. 0:09:14.559 --> 0:09:17.040 I announced to the congregation that. 0:09:17.040 --> 0:09:19.440 We were going to raise funds to renovate this place 0:09:20.120 --> 0:09:22.360 before we really knew for sure that it was going 0:09:22.400 --> 0:09:26.320 to be ours. After we won the main city council vote, 0:09:26.360 --> 0:09:28.520 a company filed a lawsuit to try to keep us 0:09:28.520 --> 0:09:31.240 from moving in, and our attorneys told us there was 0:09:31.280 --> 0:09:34.319 no guarantee that we would win, and even if we did, 0:09:34.800 --> 0:09:36.560 it could have been tied up in the courts for 0:09:36.720 --> 0:09:39.760 up to ten years through appeals. And in the natural 0:09:40.000 --> 0:09:41.880 I should have just waited to see how everything was 0:09:41.920 --> 0:09:44.559 going to turn out. But down in here I knew 0:09:44.600 --> 0:09:47.400 God wanted us to go forward. So I went from 0:09:47.440 --> 0:09:52.720 believing to expecting. We started making preparations, just like a 0:09:52.760 --> 0:09:56.200 young couple preparing the nursery. We started drawing the new plans, 0:09:56.600 --> 0:09:58.040 doing the studies, putting. 0:09:57.800 --> 0:09:58.760 The vision out there. 0:09:59.240 --> 0:10:01.800 And let me tell you, many times I'd wake up 0:10:01.840 --> 0:10:04.120 in the middle of the night in a cold sweat. 0:10:04.720 --> 0:10:08.240 Those negative voices would come saying, Joel, what are you 0:10:08.320 --> 0:10:10.679 gonna do. If you don't get that building, You're gonna 0:10:10.679 --> 0:10:13.160 look like a fool. You've already had people give You're 0:10:13.160 --> 0:10:14.400 gonna have to give their money back. 0:10:15.000 --> 0:10:16.800 On and on. Man, I had to fight the good 0:10:16.800 --> 0:10:17.439 fight of faith. 0:10:17.640 --> 0:10:20.320 I'd say, no, God, I know you're in control, and 0:10:20.360 --> 0:10:22.760 I'm not gonna be moved by what I don't see. 0:10:22.840 --> 0:10:26.800 I know you are bigger than our obstacle, and God, 0:10:26.800 --> 0:10:29.920 I believe at the right time, you will change things 0:10:29.960 --> 0:10:32.880 in our favor. A year and a half later, that's 0:10:32.920 --> 0:10:38.040 exactly what happened. How does the farmer wait expectantly? How 0:10:38.080 --> 0:10:40.760 does he take care of his seed by watering it 0:10:41.080 --> 0:10:44.040 by pulling the weeds, by keeping the soil salt. 0:10:44.400 --> 0:10:46.480 How do we water our seeds. 0:10:46.160 --> 0:10:49.240 By staying full of praise, by getting up every morning 0:10:49.440 --> 0:10:52.600 and thanking God that the answers on the way. When 0:10:52.600 --> 0:10:55.320 those old negative thoughts come to you, telling you it's 0:10:55.360 --> 0:10:58.280 never gonna happen, you're never gonna get well, you're never 0:10:58.360 --> 0:11:01.720 gonna get out of debt, you pull those wins is 0:11:01.760 --> 0:11:04.720 by simply saying God, I know you're a faithful God, 0:11:05.120 --> 0:11:07.520 My trust and confidence is in you, and i know 0:11:07.600 --> 0:11:10.640 You've got great things in store for my life. That's 0:11:10.640 --> 0:11:14.440 how you protect your seed having a grateful attitude. Let 0:11:14.520 --> 0:11:17.720 me ask you today, are you believing or are you 0:11:17.840 --> 0:11:20.880 expecting well, Joe, I'd like to get out of debt. 0:11:21.400 --> 0:11:23.640 I'd like to have a nice house one day. But 0:11:23.679 --> 0:11:26.360 my business is so slow, and I lost my main 0:11:26.440 --> 0:11:29.000 client last year, and the price of gas is so high. 0:11:29.280 --> 0:11:31.760 I don't see how could ever happen for me. No, 0:11:31.920 --> 0:11:34.400 that kind of thinking will keep you right where you are. 0:11:34.640 --> 0:11:39.199 You've got to learn to wait with expectancy. In other words, God, 0:11:39.240 --> 0:11:41.880 I know you can do what men can't do. I 0:11:41.960 --> 0:11:45.120 know you are Jehovah, Jirah, the Lord, my provider. And 0:11:45.200 --> 0:11:48.600 I realize my job is not my source. The economy 0:11:48.720 --> 0:11:51.280 is not my source. But God, I know you are 0:11:51.280 --> 0:11:54.680 my source. See, get a bigger vision, get rid of 0:11:54.679 --> 0:12:00.520 that limited mentality, and start making preparations, even if it's 0:12:00.559 --> 0:12:03.640 something small. I love what some friends of mine did 0:12:04.000 --> 0:12:06.599 years ago. I went to their apartment. It was a 0:12:06.720 --> 0:12:09.840 very small place that they were happy, they were content, 0:12:10.160 --> 0:12:13.640 but they knew God had put bigger things in their heart. 0:12:13.840 --> 0:12:16.560 And this young couple had bought some furniture for their 0:12:16.559 --> 0:12:19.920 den that was much too large. I mean you could 0:12:20.000 --> 0:12:23.160 hardly walk through the den. The couches were crammed up 0:12:23.200 --> 0:12:26.240 against each other. They had tables on the end, could 0:12:26.320 --> 0:12:29.080 barely get by, and of course I didn't say anything 0:12:29.080 --> 0:12:31.240 about it, but it looked odd to me. A few 0:12:31.320 --> 0:12:34.520 minutes later, they said, Joe, you'll have to excuse our den. 0:12:35.000 --> 0:12:37.600 We bought this furniture for our new house. 0:12:38.120 --> 0:12:39.199 I didn't know they were moving. 0:12:39.280 --> 0:12:41.160 I said, really, where are you going? They said, we 0:12:41.240 --> 0:12:44.480 don't know just yet. We just know we're not staying here. 0:12:44.880 --> 0:12:49.880 This is only temporary. What they were saying was this 0:12:49.960 --> 0:12:52.760 is not our destiny. We're not going to just sit 0:12:52.880 --> 0:12:55.720 back and accept this. God has put bigger things in 0:12:55.760 --> 0:13:00.199 our hearts, and we're making preparations to rise higher. They 0:13:00.200 --> 0:13:03.840 stayed in that apartment several years, and when I'd see them. 0:13:03.679 --> 0:13:06.000 In passing, hey have you moved yet? Not yet? 0:13:06.280 --> 0:13:10.280 When are you moving? Their answer was always soon. I 0:13:10.320 --> 0:13:13.920 never heard them discouraged. I never saw them down and defeated. 0:13:14.240 --> 0:13:19.000 They stayed hopeful, expected. One day, this young lady got 0:13:19.040 --> 0:13:23.520 a huge break, a huge promotion. Things just fell into place. 0:13:24.000 --> 0:13:26.400 Do you know where that furniture is now? It's not 0:13:26.520 --> 0:13:29.640 in their new home. They gave it to another young 0:13:29.679 --> 0:13:33.079 couple that's believing for their dream home. And see, when 0:13:33.120 --> 0:13:36.480 you put actions behind your faith, that gets God's attention. 0:13:37.160 --> 0:13:41.240 Why don't you make preparations to succeed. And I know 0:13:41.320 --> 0:13:44.319 some of you are facing sickness and disease. Maybe you 0:13:44.400 --> 0:13:47.240 got some bad news concerning your health. But what I'm 0:13:47.280 --> 0:13:48.960 saying is, don't start. 0:13:48.760 --> 0:13:49.720 Playing in your funeral. 0:13:50.240 --> 0:13:53.400 Don't sit around depressed thinking about all the other people 0:13:53.440 --> 0:13:55.040 that have died from that same disease. 0:13:55.480 --> 0:13:58.040 You've got to start making plans to get well. 0:13:58.600 --> 0:14:01.800 I know when my father was having open heart surgery, 0:14:02.000 --> 0:14:05.520 it was a very serious situation. The doctors told us 0:14:05.520 --> 0:14:07.600 there is no guarantee that it would turn out okay. 0:14:07.840 --> 0:14:08.920 Do you know what my dad did? 0:14:09.240 --> 0:14:12.760 He had us bring his tennis shoes and his running 0:14:12.800 --> 0:14:15.360 suit up to the hospital and put it right beside 0:14:15.400 --> 0:14:15.800 his bed. 0:14:16.480 --> 0:14:17.800 The fact is he was not. 0:14:17.760 --> 0:14:20.400 Going to be getting up running around any time soon. 0:14:21.000 --> 0:14:24.160 But every day as he recovered, he'd look at those 0:14:24.200 --> 0:14:27.360 tennis shoes and in his mind he was saying, one 0:14:27.440 --> 0:14:30.000 day I'm going to be running again. One day I'm 0:14:30.000 --> 0:14:32.160 going to be healthy, one day I'm gonna be strong. 0:14:32.400 --> 0:14:36.040 He was watering his sea, living expectantly. 0:14:37.000 --> 0:14:40.160 This is what gives us the strength to carry on. 0:14:41.240 --> 0:14:44.040 The scripture says this Isaiah forty verse thirty one. 0:14:44.600 --> 0:14:46.680 They that wait upon the Lord. 0:14:47.400 --> 0:14:49.920 The amplified tells us what it means to wait on 0:14:49.960 --> 0:14:54.680 the Lord. It says those who expect, who look for 0:14:55.360 --> 0:14:56.520 and hope in Him. 0:14:57.120 --> 0:14:57.600 What's going to. 0:14:57.640 --> 0:15:01.240 Happen when we live with expectancy, when we stay hopeful, 0:15:01.480 --> 0:15:04.720 when we make preparations for the goodness of God. It 0:15:04.800 --> 0:15:07.360 goes on to say, we're going to mount up with 0:15:07.520 --> 0:15:10.920 wings like the ego. You will run and not get tired. 0:15:11.000 --> 0:15:13.800 You will walk and not faint. In other words, you 0:15:13.840 --> 0:15:18.280 will overcome life's challenges. You may have difficulties today, but 0:15:18.360 --> 0:15:21.480 if you can just get up every morning expecting God 0:15:21.520 --> 0:15:25.280 to turn it around, positive and hopeful, then God promises 0:15:25.560 --> 0:15:28.600 he will give you a supernatural strength that will cause 0:15:28.640 --> 0:15:31.640 you to soar like the eagles and some of you today. 0:15:31.960 --> 0:15:34.640 You just need to put some actions behind your prayers. 0:15:34.760 --> 0:15:37.440 You're praying, you're believing, but you need to get over 0:15:37.720 --> 0:15:38.800 into expecting. 0:15:39.400 --> 0:15:41.920 I know this, minister, this was years ago. 0:15:42.280 --> 0:15:44.800 He had a dream to go all over the world 0:15:44.920 --> 0:15:47.880 and share God's word. But at the time he didn't 0:15:47.960 --> 0:15:51.720 have one open door, not one invitation. But instead of 0:15:51.720 --> 0:15:54.480 getting all down and thinking I must have missed it, 0:15:54.520 --> 0:15:56.880 this must not be for me, No, he took a 0:15:56.920 --> 0:15:59.080 step of faith, and he went out and bought a 0:15:59.120 --> 0:16:03.240 brand new set of luggage. Here he never traveled in 0:16:03.280 --> 0:16:05.520 the natural, he had much better things to spend his 0:16:05.560 --> 0:16:06.040 money on. 0:16:06.480 --> 0:16:07.960 But deep down in here. 0:16:08.240 --> 0:16:10.640 He knew one day God was going to open up 0:16:10.680 --> 0:16:12.080 supernatural doors, and. 0:16:12.000 --> 0:16:13.160 He just stayed in faith. 0:16:13.800 --> 0:16:16.320 It was about six months after that he got his 0:16:16.520 --> 0:16:20.240 very first invitation. He was so excited he brought it 0:16:20.320 --> 0:16:22.720 up and showed it to my father. And do you 0:16:22.800 --> 0:16:25.360 know today that man travels. 0:16:24.920 --> 0:16:26.120 All over the world. 0:16:26.360 --> 0:16:30.720 He has more invitations than he could ever possibly accept. See, 0:16:30.760 --> 0:16:35.440 he went from believing to expecting. He started putting actions 0:16:35.480 --> 0:16:40.440 behind his faith. We cannot be passive and have God's best. 0:16:40.320 --> 0:16:44.080 When we're really expecting. We're on the lookout for opportunities. 0:16:44.200 --> 0:16:47.200 We're doing everything we can to make our own dreams 0:16:47.240 --> 0:16:50.480 come to pass. I remember my sister Tamrum, when she 0:16:50.600 --> 0:16:53.400 was about seven or eight years old growing up, she 0:16:53.560 --> 0:16:57.080 decided she wanted some rabbits. We lived out in the 0:16:57.120 --> 0:17:00.040 country and we had a couple of dogs even and 0:17:00.080 --> 0:17:01.840 at one time we had a bunch of chickens. 0:17:02.000 --> 0:17:04.359 But now she wanted these rabbits. So she went to 0:17:04.400 --> 0:17:07.320 my father and said Daddy would you please get me 0:17:07.440 --> 0:17:08.200 some rabbits. 0:17:08.760 --> 0:17:12.120 And my father was very good to us children, very generous, 0:17:12.680 --> 0:17:15.760 but he had had enough problems with these chickens. They 0:17:15.760 --> 0:17:17.359 were always getting out, and we were. 0:17:17.240 --> 0:17:19.280 Having to round him up from our neighbors. And so 0:17:19.359 --> 0:17:21.560 he is a little tarnished on getting any more animals. 0:17:21.760 --> 0:17:24.800 He said, Tamar, I love you, but we are not 0:17:24.880 --> 0:17:26.440 going to get any rabbits. 0:17:26.840 --> 0:17:29.720 Well he might as well have told that to a tree. 0:17:30.359 --> 0:17:33.400 Tamara no more hurt him. She no more paid attention. 0:17:33.920 --> 0:17:36.280 She just kept acting like she was going to get 0:17:36.320 --> 0:17:39.639 those rabbits. Reminds me of a time in the scripture 0:17:40.160 --> 0:17:43.040 when Jesus was walking down the road on his way 0:17:43.040 --> 0:17:45.159 to pray for a little girl that was very sick. 0:17:45.720 --> 0:17:49.080 But along the way he kept getting stopped, one delay 0:17:49.119 --> 0:17:52.320 after another. Finally these people came up and said to 0:17:52.359 --> 0:17:56.520 his disciples, Hey, tell Jesus, don't bother coming anymore. 0:17:56.600 --> 0:17:59.120 It's too late. The little girl has died. 0:17:59.680 --> 0:18:04.399 Says Jesus overhearing, but ignoring. 0:18:05.200 --> 0:18:06.399 There's a principle here. 0:18:06.880 --> 0:18:09.879 Sometimes in order to stay in faith, you have to 0:18:09.960 --> 0:18:14.000 ignore a negative report. Sometimes people will try to talk 0:18:14.040 --> 0:18:17.520 you out of your dreams. Sometimes medical science will tell 0:18:17.560 --> 0:18:20.640 you there's nothing more we can do for you. Sometimes 0:18:20.720 --> 0:18:24.240 our own thoughts will even try to convince us all 0:18:24.280 --> 0:18:26.280 the reasons why it's not going to happen. 0:18:27.000 --> 0:18:28.560 Jesus heard the bad. 0:18:28.359 --> 0:18:31.679 News, but he chose to ignore it. In other words, 0:18:31.800 --> 0:18:35.200 he chose to not allow it to influence him. That's 0:18:35.200 --> 0:18:38.679 what my sister Tamra did. Every two or three days, 0:18:38.760 --> 0:18:41.560 she would go back to my father and ask him again, Daddy, 0:18:41.680 --> 0:18:43.880 have you thought any more about those rabbits. I really 0:18:43.920 --> 0:18:46.760 would like to have one. He would say, Tamor, I 0:18:46.800 --> 0:18:48.879 don't have to think about it. We are not getting 0:18:48.880 --> 0:18:51.960 any rabbits. A couple of days later, Daddy, I'd still like. 0:18:51.920 --> 0:18:52.679 To have a rabbit. 0:18:53.080 --> 0:18:56.600 This went on for two or three months. Tamor was 0:18:56.640 --> 0:18:57.920 determined in her heart. 0:18:58.119 --> 0:18:59.880 One day she was going to have those rabbits. 0:19:00.200 --> 0:19:02.520 Well. At one point I could tell she was starting 0:19:02.520 --> 0:19:05.560 to wear my father down. He said, Tamor, even if 0:19:05.600 --> 0:19:07.560 I wanted to get your rabbits, I have no idea 0:19:07.640 --> 0:19:08.320 where to get one. 0:19:08.560 --> 0:19:09.360 She said, I do. 0:19:09.760 --> 0:19:12.800 I know exactly where they are. I've already seen the place. 0:19:13.160 --> 0:19:16.080 He said, show me. They got in the car and 0:19:16.160 --> 0:19:18.600 drove about fifteen minutes down the highway. 0:19:18.280 --> 0:19:19.040 Toward the church. 0:19:19.640 --> 0:19:22.639 In about two hundred yards off the main road. Way 0:19:22.680 --> 0:19:25.600 back in the woods, there was this little sign about 0:19:25.640 --> 0:19:29.160 this big. It had on it in handwritten letters, rabbits 0:19:29.200 --> 0:19:29.679 for sale. 0:19:30.480 --> 0:19:32.960 See, Tamra was on the lookout. 0:19:33.160 --> 0:19:35.760 When you have a dream in your heart, you'll see 0:19:35.800 --> 0:19:40.080 things that other people don't see. We had traveled up 0:19:40.119 --> 0:19:42.640 and down that road hundreds of times going to church. 0:19:42.960 --> 0:19:44.199 None of us had ever seen it. 0:19:45.000 --> 0:19:47.560 Finally, my father said, Tamor, I'd love to get your rabbits, 0:19:47.600 --> 0:19:49.560 but still we don't have any place to keep them. 0:19:49.920 --> 0:19:52.320 She said, yes we do. I've already had. 0:19:52.200 --> 0:19:54.159 Paul make me a cage. 0:19:55.320 --> 0:19:59.800 I thought, poor rabbits. But needless to say, Tamra got 0:19:59.840 --> 0:20:03.240 her rabbits. A lot of times we're waiting for God 0:20:03.280 --> 0:20:04.960 to do everything. God just give it to me on 0:20:05.000 --> 0:20:09.040 a silver platter. No, do your part, make preparations, do 0:20:09.119 --> 0:20:13.760 a little research, sow some seeds, and then stay expected. 0:20:14.240 --> 0:20:16.399 Well, Joel, what if I do this and it doesn't happen. 0:20:16.600 --> 0:20:18.840 What if you do it and it does happen, And 0:20:18.920 --> 0:20:21.119 even if it doesn't turn out the way you had hoped, 0:20:21.320 --> 0:20:24.119 you'd still be better off to live your life positive 0:20:24.280 --> 0:20:26.800 and hopeful. Then you would to go around all down 0:20:26.880 --> 0:20:29.760 and discourage. And that's what many people are doing. While 0:20:29.840 --> 0:20:33.320 they're waiting for their situation to change, while they're waiting 0:20:33.359 --> 0:20:36.199 to get the break they need, they get all sour. 0:20:36.760 --> 0:20:38.080 Nothing good ever happens to me. 0:20:38.359 --> 0:20:40.160 When am I gonna get married? When am I gonna 0:20:40.160 --> 0:20:42.560 get out of this problem? Now, you've just got to 0:20:42.600 --> 0:20:46.600 turn that situation over to God. I love what David said. God, 0:20:46.960 --> 0:20:48.720 my times are in your hands. 0:20:49.200 --> 0:20:50.080 He was saying, God, I. 0:20:50.000 --> 0:20:52.520 Don't know when it's gonna happen, but I know you 0:20:52.640 --> 0:20:54.760 know what's best for me. And I'm gonna go out 0:20:54.760 --> 0:20:58.159 today expecting good things. And even if it doesn't happen, 0:20:58.480 --> 0:21:00.920 I'm not gonna go to bed all disappointed. I'm gonna 0:21:00.960 --> 0:21:03.439 go to bed knowing that I'm one day closer to 0:21:03.440 --> 0:21:06.000 seeing it come to pass. Now, I want you to 0:21:06.040 --> 0:21:09.800 make preparations to live a blessed life. Keep the vision 0:21:09.880 --> 0:21:12.919 in front of you, and don't believe the never lies. 0:21:13.600 --> 0:21:16.239 I'll never get well, I'll never see my dreams come 0:21:16.280 --> 0:21:20.880 to pass. Now, shake that junk off, stay positive, hopeful, expectant, 0:21:21.400 --> 0:21:24.080 and learn to make preparations. 0:21:23.320 --> 0:21:25.800 For what God has put in your heart. Well, you 0:21:25.840 --> 0:21:26.800 say jeel. I did this. 0:21:26.920 --> 0:21:30.280 I prayed, I believed, I expected, but my loved one died. 0:21:30.640 --> 0:21:33.679 I just don't understand it. No, God still has a 0:21:33.720 --> 0:21:37.560 great plan for your life. You cannot let one set 0:21:37.640 --> 0:21:40.920 back or even a series of disappointments keep you from 0:21:40.960 --> 0:21:44.760 pressing forward and believing for God's very best. I know 0:21:44.840 --> 0:21:47.560 when my father was sick, all of us prayed that 0:21:47.600 --> 0:21:50.040 he would be healed, but Daddy went to be with 0:21:50.080 --> 0:21:53.280 the Lord. As much as I didn't like that, as 0:21:53.320 --> 0:21:56.040 painful as it was, down in my heart, I knew 0:21:56.200 --> 0:21:59.159 my father had fulfilled his purpose here on this earth. 0:21:59.840 --> 0:22:02.439 Thing I loved about my dad is he did just 0:22:02.480 --> 0:22:06.480 what I'm talking about. He died in faith. The last 0:22:06.520 --> 0:22:09.920 month of his life, while he was on dialysis. He 0:22:10.080 --> 0:22:14.000 was making preparations to go back to India, and he 0:22:14.119 --> 0:22:16.639 had us checking to see if they could do dialysis 0:22:16.680 --> 0:22:19.399 over there. The fact is he never made it back, 0:22:19.600 --> 0:22:23.320 but he died in faith expecting to go back to India. 0:22:23.680 --> 0:22:27.200 And it's this attitude of expectancy that keeps a scring 0:22:27.200 --> 0:22:30.480 in our step, That's what keeps life exciting. Keep the 0:22:30.600 --> 0:22:33.800 vision in front of you and stay hopeful. I know 0:22:33.880 --> 0:22:34.800 this couple they. 0:22:34.680 --> 0:22:38.280 Had become a strange from their son. Some things had happened. 0:22:38.280 --> 0:22:40.639 They'd gotten at odds with each other, and now this 0:22:40.760 --> 0:22:43.160 young man wouldn't talk to them, wouldn't come visit them, 0:22:43.280 --> 0:22:46.040 wouldn't have anything to do with them. This went on 0:22:46.200 --> 0:22:49.800 month after month. It looked like they would never be reconciled. 0:22:50.400 --> 0:22:54.240 But these parents, rather than just giving up getting all defeated, 0:22:54.400 --> 0:22:57.000 they took a step of faith. They went out and 0:22:57.040 --> 0:23:00.320 bought their son a Bible and had his name grave 0:23:00.480 --> 0:23:03.280 on the front of it. This young man had never 0:23:03.359 --> 0:23:04.359 had anything. 0:23:04.080 --> 0:23:05.679 To do with the things of God. 0:23:06.040 --> 0:23:08.640 Looked like they were wasting their money, but they put 0:23:08.680 --> 0:23:11.840 the Bible on their coffee table, and every time they 0:23:11.880 --> 0:23:14.959 walked by it, several times a day, they would just 0:23:15.080 --> 0:23:18.119 thank God that one day their son would be back home. 0:23:18.600 --> 0:23:21.720 One day he would get back on the right course. Well, 0:23:21.840 --> 0:23:24.880 seven years later they got a phone call from their son. 0:23:25.280 --> 0:23:29.600 God supernaturally restored that relationship. Today, I see that young 0:23:29.640 --> 0:23:31.880 man in church all the time. You know what, he's 0:23:31.920 --> 0:23:35.679 carrying a Bible, not just any bible, but the same 0:23:35.760 --> 0:23:38.719 Bible that sat on that coffee table all those years, 0:23:39.040 --> 0:23:39.879 with his name on it. 0:23:40.720 --> 0:23:43.480 See, these parents waited expectantly. 0:23:44.160 --> 0:23:47.240 They made preparations for their son to come back home. 0:23:47.640 --> 0:23:51.560 Today they're reaping the benefits. It may just be something small, 0:23:51.880 --> 0:23:55.040 a dream to lose weight. I know this young lady. 0:23:55.200 --> 0:23:58.040 She was so tired of being overweight. But I'm telling you, 0:23:58.160 --> 0:24:00.560 she had dieted, she had tried, she had fought it, 0:24:00.800 --> 0:24:03.720 nothing seemed to work. Finally, she just gave up and 0:24:03.840 --> 0:24:06.639 accepted where she was in spite of the fact that 0:24:06.680 --> 0:24:09.280 she knew that wasn't God's best. And this is so 0:24:09.359 --> 0:24:11.880 easy to do in any area of life, to kind 0:24:11.880 --> 0:24:15.120 of just sit back and settle for mediocrity. But one 0:24:15.200 --> 0:24:18.199 day this young lady got fed up. She put her 0:24:18.200 --> 0:24:22.679 foot down and started putting actions behind her prayers. She 0:24:22.760 --> 0:24:25.840 went up to the mall and on purpose, she bought 0:24:25.880 --> 0:24:29.080 a new outfit that was two sizes too small for her. 0:24:29.680 --> 0:24:30.800 She knew she couldn't wear it. 0:24:31.000 --> 0:24:34.200 What was she doing making preparations to lose the weight? 0:24:34.680 --> 0:24:38.800 She went from believing to expecting. She told how she 0:24:38.840 --> 0:24:41.600 put that outfit in her closet, right by her mirror 0:24:41.880 --> 0:24:43.440 so she could see it every day. 0:24:44.160 --> 0:24:47.399 You said, Joel, that would depress me. No, this inspired her. 0:24:47.640 --> 0:24:50.000 Every time she saw it, she'd say Father, thank you 0:24:50.000 --> 0:24:52.080 that I'm going to lose this weight. Thank you that 0:24:52.119 --> 0:24:56.280 every gland, every organ, every cell in my body functions normally. 0:24:56.600 --> 0:25:00.400 Thank you that I have discipline and self control. Afterday, 0:25:00.520 --> 0:25:02.080 she kept watering her seat. 0:25:02.520 --> 0:25:04.560 I saw her about a month ago. You know what. 0:25:04.600 --> 0:25:06.200 She was wearing her new outfit. 0:25:06.600 --> 0:25:09.159 She said, Joel, I not only lost thirty pounds, but 0:25:09.240 --> 0:25:12.199 I feel better today than I've ever felt before. I 0:25:12.240 --> 0:25:14.080 gave her a high five and said, you go girl. 0:25:16.240 --> 0:25:18.199 God rewards people like that. 0:25:19.280 --> 0:25:23.160 Keep the vision in front of you. Stay determined. 0:25:23.520 --> 0:25:26.280 Tamra would have never got those rabbits if she had 0:25:26.320 --> 0:25:29.359 not already had the cages built. We'd have never got 0:25:29.359 --> 0:25:32.520 this place if we had not pressed through those obstacles. 0:25:32.920 --> 0:25:37.200 Stretch your faith, put some actions behind what you're believing. 0:25:37.240 --> 0:25:40.159 For some of you today, you've just about giving up 0:25:40.240 --> 0:25:41.840 on what God has put in your heart. 0:25:42.440 --> 0:25:43.280 You've just settled. 0:25:43.359 --> 0:25:45.960 You think it's never gonna change, never gonna get any better. 0:25:46.119 --> 0:25:48.000 But you've got to rekindle that fire. 0:25:48.640 --> 0:25:50.760 Well, Joe, it's been a long long time. 0:25:51.280 --> 0:25:54.720 Listen to what the scripture says. Though the vision tarries 0:25:55.280 --> 0:26:00.280 wait earnestly for it. Notice we can't wait passively. We 0:26:00.400 --> 0:26:04.760 have to wait earnestly, wait expectantly. What's going to happen 0:26:04.760 --> 0:26:08.159 when we do that. It goes on to say the vision. 0:26:08.040 --> 0:26:10.200 Will not be one second late. 0:26:10.560 --> 0:26:14.840 That means when we stay in faith, positive, expectant, hopeful, 0:26:15.200 --> 0:26:18.719 then all the forces of darkness cannot keep God from 0:26:18.760 --> 0:26:21.879 bringing those promises to pass. Now I read a story 0:26:22.440 --> 0:26:26.439 about Gavin MacLeod. He's an actor, probably best known for 0:26:26.480 --> 0:26:29.800 playing the captain of The Love Boat, popular television show. 0:26:29.880 --> 0:26:30.400 Years ago. 0:26:31.000 --> 0:26:34.000 He and his wife Patty had been married for seven years. 0:26:34.440 --> 0:26:37.359 They hit some bumps along the road and Gavin left. 0:26:38.000 --> 0:26:39.800 He told how he got real caught up in his 0:26:39.840 --> 0:26:42.840 career and long story short, he wasn't making good choices 0:26:43.119 --> 0:26:46.920 and they went through this divorce and Patty was just devastated. 0:26:47.400 --> 0:26:48.440 She never wanted it. 0:26:48.960 --> 0:26:52.440 Instead of just giving up and accepting that, every day 0:26:52.840 --> 0:26:55.679 she started thanking God that one day Gavin would be 0:26:55.720 --> 0:27:00.040 back home, one day that relationship would be restored. He 0:27:00.119 --> 0:27:03.399 took it one step further and started putting actions. 0:27:02.920 --> 0:27:03.800 Behind her faith. 0:27:04.480 --> 0:27:07.640 She told how every night at the dinner table, instead 0:27:07.640 --> 0:27:11.280 of setting one place setting, she would set two place settings. 0:27:11.640 --> 0:27:14.160 She was making preparations for him to come back home. 0:27:14.840 --> 0:27:15.240 One day. 0:27:15.280 --> 0:27:17.800 Three years later, there was a knock on the front door. 0:27:18.240 --> 0:27:21.200 She opened it up and it was Gavined. She smiled 0:27:21.240 --> 0:27:24.760 and said, come on in. Your dinner's getting cold today. 0:27:24.920 --> 0:27:28.480 They'd been remarried for more than twenty one years. Let 0:27:28.480 --> 0:27:32.120 me ask you, how are you waiting? 0:27:32.480 --> 0:27:34.280 Negative? Discourage? Frustrated? 0:27:34.680 --> 0:27:39.320 No, stay hopeful? Learn to wait with expectancy. Get up 0:27:39.359 --> 0:27:42.520 every morning and water your seeds by thanking God that 0:27:42.600 --> 0:27:43.680 the answers on the way. 0:27:44.000 --> 0:27:45.639 And then take it one step further. 0:27:46.200 --> 0:27:49.720 Start making preparations for the dreams God's put in your heart. 0:27:50.040 --> 0:27:51.960 Talk like it's going to happen. Act like it's going 0:27:52.040 --> 0:27:52.359 to happen. 0:27:52.440 --> 0:27:56.920 Keep the right attitude if you'll go from believing to expecting. 0:27:57.240 --> 0:28:00.840 God promises in due season, at the right time, he 0:28:00.920 --> 0:28:03.600 will bring you the desires of your heart. And the 0:28:03.640 --> 0:28:06.600 good news is they will not be one second late. 0:28:06.680 --> 0:28:08.160 Amen.
