We're praying for you, guys, and I 0:02:22.440 --> 0:02:25.040 hope you'll stay connected with us all throughout the week. 0:02:25.280 --> 0:02:28.400 You can download our daily podcast or go to our 0:02:28.440 --> 0:02:32.160 YouTube channel, watch the messages anytime, follow us on social media. 0:02:32.480 --> 0:02:35.320 We want to keep it encouraged and inspired. But thanks 0:02:35.320 --> 0:02:38.000 for tuning in. Thanks again for coming out. I like 0:02:38.040 --> 0:02:40.320 to start with something funny and I heard about these 0:02:40.600 --> 0:02:44.079 elderly ladies way up in their eighties. They were driving 0:02:44.120 --> 0:02:46.639 down the freeway together when they were pulled. 0:02:46.320 --> 0:02:47.480 Over by a policeman. 0:02:48.000 --> 0:02:51.600 The officer asked the driver, ma'am, do you realize you're 0:02:51.639 --> 0:02:55.240 only going thirty five miles an hour. She said, yes, Officer, 0:02:55.280 --> 0:02:57.520 I realize that. He said, well, why are you going 0:02:57.560 --> 0:03:00.680 so slow? She said, because that's what the SI says. 0:03:01.160 --> 0:03:03.200 He kind of laughed and said, no, ma'am, that's the 0:03:03.280 --> 0:03:06.880 number of the freeway. This is Highway thirty five, and 0:03:06.919 --> 0:03:09.960 by the way, Why do these other passengers look so terrified? 0:03:10.440 --> 0:03:13.600 She smiled and said, because we just got off Highway 0:03:13.680 --> 0:03:18.520 ninety five. Say it like you mean it. This is 0:03:18.600 --> 0:03:21.640 my Bible. I am what it says I am. I 0:03:21.720 --> 0:03:24.080 have what it says I have. I can do what 0:03:24.160 --> 0:03:26.840 it says I can do. Today I will be taught 0:03:26.919 --> 0:03:31.080 the word of God. I boldly confess my mind is alert, 0:03:31.400 --> 0:03:34.240 my heart is receptive. I will never be the same. 0:03:34.680 --> 0:03:39.040 In Jesus' name, God bless you. I want to talk 0:03:39.080 --> 0:03:43.400 to you today about letting go of control. God puts 0:03:43.440 --> 0:03:46.440 promises and dreams in all of our hearts. We know 0:03:46.560 --> 0:03:49.200 we're going to get well, we know our business is 0:03:49.240 --> 0:03:50.040 going to succeed. 0:03:50.360 --> 0:03:52.200 We know we're going to meet the right person. 0:03:52.800 --> 0:03:55.520 But God doesn't tell us how it's going to happen 0:03:55.880 --> 0:03:59.120 or when it's going to happen. And too often, if 0:03:59.120 --> 0:04:02.560 it's not happening the way we thought or on our timetable, 0:04:02.720 --> 0:04:06.040 we get frustrated. God, when is this going to turn around? 0:04:06.560 --> 0:04:09.320 When is my health going to improve? How come this 0:04:09.360 --> 0:04:12.920 situation at work is not getting better? We put God 0:04:13.040 --> 0:04:15.280 in a box and tell him how to do it, 0:04:15.760 --> 0:04:18.480 when it should happen, and who to use If it's 0:04:18.520 --> 0:04:21.360 not working out the way we think, we can get discouraged. 0:04:21.880 --> 0:04:25.120 But once you pray, once you believe, you have to 0:04:25.200 --> 0:04:28.360 leave how God does it and when he does it 0:04:28.560 --> 0:04:31.400 up to him. If you put a time frame on 0:04:31.480 --> 0:04:34.000 it and a method of how it's going to happen, 0:04:34.279 --> 0:04:37.680 you're going to be frustrated because God's ways are not 0:04:37.920 --> 0:04:41.960 our ways. He's working when we can't see it. Sometimes 0:04:42.000 --> 0:04:45.480 it's taking longer because He has something better in store. 0:04:46.160 --> 0:04:48.480 And one of the best things I've learned is to 0:04:48.520 --> 0:04:53.400 trust God's timing and trust his ways. What God promised 0:04:53.560 --> 0:04:56.320 will come to pass, but it may not happen the 0:04:56.360 --> 0:04:59.720 way you think, may not be when you had planned. 0:05:00.240 --> 0:05:03.240 If you're trying to control the outcome and control the 0:05:03.279 --> 0:05:04.160 time frame. 0:05:04.240 --> 0:05:05.359 You're going to live worried. 0:05:05.800 --> 0:05:09.360 You have to release control, release having to have it 0:05:09.440 --> 0:05:13.640 happen your way. God already has it figured out. He 0:05:13.800 --> 0:05:15.680 knows the end from the beginning. 0:05:16.160 --> 0:05:19.400 But here's the key. He doesn't give us the details. 0:05:19.760 --> 0:05:22.320 If you knew how everything was going to work out, 0:05:22.520 --> 0:05:25.680 it wouldn't take faith. If he told you three months 0:05:25.720 --> 0:05:28.279 from now, a big door is going to open. It 0:05:28.360 --> 0:05:31.520 looks like you're going backwards, But there's a shortcut. It's 0:05:31.560 --> 0:05:34.839 going to put you ahead. You would relax and say, Okay, 0:05:35.080 --> 0:05:37.680 it's all going to work out. Why don't you do 0:05:37.800 --> 0:05:41.320 that now? God has it all planned out. He's doing 0:05:41.400 --> 0:05:45.560 things you can't see. There are good breaks coming, healing 0:05:45.760 --> 0:05:47.200 favor the right people. 0:05:47.520 --> 0:05:51.160 They're already on your schedule. If you'll release. 0:05:50.920 --> 0:05:54.640 Control, then you can enjoy your life while you're waiting 0:05:54.680 --> 0:05:56.440 for things to change. 0:05:56.480 --> 0:05:59.920 What's upsetting you? What's keeping you awake at night? God? 0:06:00.000 --> 0:06:03.640 God is saying, release it to me. I'm in control. 0:06:04.160 --> 0:06:05.520 I'm ordering your steps. 0:06:05.800 --> 0:06:08.880 I'm working behind the scenes. It may not be good, 0:06:09.080 --> 0:06:11.000 but I'm going to turn it for your good. 0:06:12.080 --> 0:06:16.120 The scripture says, those who have believed in are into rest. 0:06:16.839 --> 0:06:18.400 Once you believed, you. 0:06:18.360 --> 0:06:21.280 Don't have to figure everything out. You may not see 0:06:21.279 --> 0:06:24.880 anything changing. You'll be tempted to worry. Stay at rest. 0:06:25.360 --> 0:06:28.680 When you're at rest, you're showing God that you trust him. 0:06:28.800 --> 0:06:29.000 Wow. 0:06:29.640 --> 0:06:32.720 Maybe you're believing for your health to improve, but the 0:06:32.760 --> 0:06:36.000 medical report is not getting better. You thought it would 0:06:36.000 --> 0:06:39.919 have happened by now. You could be worried, complaining, but 0:06:40.040 --> 0:06:44.320 instead you're thanking God. You're declaring his promises. You're being 0:06:44.400 --> 0:06:48.279 your best each day. When you're at rest, you're in faith. 0:06:48.800 --> 0:06:50.359 That's what allows God to work. 0:06:50.880 --> 0:06:54.440 But if you're upset over what's not changing, worried about 0:06:54.440 --> 0:06:59.080 your finances, can't sleep because that childish off course, that's. 0:06:58.880 --> 0:07:00.960 A sign that you you've stopped believing. 0:07:01.560 --> 0:07:04.440 You need to enter into rest, come back to a 0:07:04.480 --> 0:07:08.520 place of peace. You can't trust God and be worried 0:07:08.640 --> 0:07:11.760 at the same time. When you're at rest, you know 0:07:11.880 --> 0:07:14.480 God's in control. You know all things are going to 0:07:14.520 --> 0:07:17.240 work for your good. You know what he started, He's 0:07:17.240 --> 0:07:21.360 going to finish well. Joel, I'm worried about my finances. 0:07:21.680 --> 0:07:25.080 I'm upset about the medical report. When is this pandemic 0:07:25.120 --> 0:07:27.600 going to be over? It's not a surprise to God. 0:07:28.160 --> 0:07:31.239 He hasn't brought you this far to leave you. Release 0:07:31.360 --> 0:07:35.520 the worried, release the frustration, release having. 0:07:35.240 --> 0:07:36.720 To know all the details. 0:07:37.400 --> 0:07:40.920 There will always be situations that we don't understand, and 0:07:41.360 --> 0:07:44.920 problems that look too big, obstacles that seem permanent. 0:07:45.280 --> 0:07:46.040 That's a test. 0:07:46.600 --> 0:07:49.480 Will you go through life worried, wondering if it's going 0:07:49.520 --> 0:07:53.400 to work out, discourage because it's taken so long, or 0:07:53.760 --> 0:07:56.920 will you enter into rest? Will you believe that God 0:07:57.040 --> 0:07:59.360 is in control and that he will get you to 0:07:59.400 --> 0:08:02.840 where you're supposed to be. My sister Lisa and her 0:08:02.920 --> 0:08:06.239 husband Kevin tried to have a baby for many years 0:08:06.320 --> 0:08:10.400 with no success. Lisa took all the fertility treatments, had 0:08:10.440 --> 0:08:14.240 a couple of surgeries, but still couldn't conceive. Finally, the 0:08:14.280 --> 0:08:17.160 doctors told her that she wouldn't be able to have 0:08:17.280 --> 0:08:21.640 a baby in Lisa kept praying, kept believing year after year. 0:08:22.000 --> 0:08:25.120 She knew that God has the final say, but at 0:08:25.120 --> 0:08:29.360 one point she realized she was consumed with having that baby. 0:08:29.760 --> 0:08:33.640 That was her main focus. And sometimes we want something 0:08:33.720 --> 0:08:36.920 so badly it can get out of balance. We're not 0:08:37.000 --> 0:08:39.120 going to be happy unless God does. 0:08:38.960 --> 0:08:41.920 It our way. You have to put it on the altar. 0:08:42.559 --> 0:08:45.520 Don't release the dream, don't give up on the promise, 0:08:45.840 --> 0:08:48.000 but release control of how. 0:08:47.920 --> 0:08:49.760 God is going to bring it to pass. 0:08:50.040 --> 0:08:53.040 He may not do it a traditional way what you 0:08:53.120 --> 0:08:57.240 were expecting. Anything, you have to have to be happy. 0:08:57.520 --> 0:09:01.000 The enemy can use against you when you can say, God, 0:09:01.200 --> 0:09:03.840 this is what I want. But even if it doesn't 0:09:03.880 --> 0:09:06.280 work out my way, I'm still going to be happy. 0:09:06.480 --> 0:09:09.079 I'm still going to give you praise. That takes away 0:09:09.120 --> 0:09:13.320 the power of the enemy. Hold tightly to your dreams, 0:09:13.760 --> 0:09:15.800 but hold loosely to how. 0:09:15.679 --> 0:09:16.880 God is going to do it. 0:09:17.760 --> 0:09:21.560 A few months after Lisa released control, she received a 0:09:21.559 --> 0:09:24.920 phone call from a friend of ours in another state 0:09:25.200 --> 0:09:28.320 that has a home for teenage girls. One of the 0:09:28.360 --> 0:09:31.520 young ladies was about to give birth to twins. She 0:09:31.640 --> 0:09:34.640 asked Lisa and Kevin if they would be interested in 0:09:34.720 --> 0:09:38.200 adopting them. They didn't have to think twice. They knew 0:09:38.280 --> 0:09:41.160 that was an answered prayer. A couple of months later 0:09:41.480 --> 0:09:45.320 they were at the hospital when the babies were born. Today, 0:09:45.360 --> 0:09:49.719 they're beautiful young ladies in their twenties. God knows how 0:09:49.760 --> 0:09:52.880 to bring promises to pass, but you have to stay 0:09:52.920 --> 0:09:56.200 open to how it's going to happen. If you're set 0:09:56.280 --> 0:10:00.360 in having it one way, you can be frustrated. Does 0:10:00.400 --> 0:10:04.319 things out of the ordinary, unusual, He may not bring 0:10:04.360 --> 0:10:08.320 your dream to pass a traditional way. Seemed like Lisa 0:10:08.400 --> 0:10:11.480 was falling behind. But then one phone call and she 0:10:11.600 --> 0:10:14.520 had not one, but two babies. She didn't have to 0:10:14.520 --> 0:10:17.880 get pregnant, she didn't have to carry the baby nine months. 0:10:18.160 --> 0:10:22.479 God did it an unusual way. Are you upset. 0:10:22.120 --> 0:10:24.480 About something that's the hand of God. 0:10:25.280 --> 0:10:28.280 It hasn't happened yet, because God's going to do something 0:10:28.320 --> 0:10:32.760 better than you think. The delay, the disappointment, the setback, 0:10:33.160 --> 0:10:37.319 it's not working against you, is working for you. Release 0:10:37.480 --> 0:10:41.240 control of how it's going to happen. God is about 0:10:41.280 --> 0:10:46.360 to do unusual things, out of the ordinary, unpreced in it. 0:10:46.840 --> 0:10:48.079 You're not falling behind. 0:10:48.400 --> 0:10:51.280 You're about to receive a phone call, a good break, 0:10:51.400 --> 0:10:56.560 a promotion, your health suddenly turns around. I've learned God 0:10:56.640 --> 0:11:00.559 doesn't always take us down a straight path. There will 0:11:00.600 --> 0:11:05.360 be detours, delays, curves, these times when you feel like 0:11:05.400 --> 0:11:08.360 you're going the wrong way. God, I'm believing to go 0:11:08.440 --> 0:11:13.000 this direction for promotion, healing, freedom, but I'm going the 0:11:13.040 --> 0:11:17.119 other direction. I'm in a pandemic. I'm seeing just the opposite. 0:11:17.800 --> 0:11:21.080 Don't get set on the method. The way you think 0:11:21.200 --> 0:11:23.800 it's going to happen may not be the way God's 0:11:23.840 --> 0:11:26.520 going to do it. What you can't see is on 0:11:26.559 --> 0:11:28.520 that path there's going the wrong way. 0:11:28.720 --> 0:11:29.760 There's another turn. 0:11:30.120 --> 0:11:33.360 It leads to a shortcut that will catapult you ahead. 0:11:34.120 --> 0:11:37.560 Lisa was believing for one child and came out with two. 0:11:38.120 --> 0:11:39.920 That's the way our God is. 0:11:40.240 --> 0:11:43.040 Where he's leading you is going to be better than 0:11:43.040 --> 0:11:47.040 you've imagined. The reason it's taking longer is because it's 0:11:47.040 --> 0:11:51.520 going to be bigger than you thought, more rewarding, more fulfilling. 0:11:52.320 --> 0:11:55.199 Doors aren't opening yet. You don't know what God is 0:11:55.320 --> 0:11:58.600 up to. You can't see what he's doing behind the scenes. 0:11:59.120 --> 0:12:02.880 People are against you, the trouble hasn't turned around. Your 0:12:02.880 --> 0:12:06.400 family member is still off course. Don't be discouraged by 0:12:06.440 --> 0:12:10.800 what's not changing. Your time is coming. The scripture talks 0:12:10.840 --> 0:12:13.680 about how there is a set time for God to 0:12:13.720 --> 0:12:17.040 favor you, a set time to heal you, a set 0:12:17.080 --> 0:12:21.199 time to turn the problem around. If there's a right time, 0:12:21.520 --> 0:12:23.280 that means there's a wrong time. 0:12:24.120 --> 0:12:26.960 If it hasn't happened yet, then it wasn't meant to be. 0:12:27.960 --> 0:12:31.880 Instead of fighting where you are, why don't you embrace. 0:12:31.360 --> 0:12:33.160 Where you are? God? 0:12:33.200 --> 0:12:36.400 I know you're ordering my steps. I'm right where I'm 0:12:36.440 --> 0:12:37.120 supposed to be. 0:12:37.559 --> 0:12:37.800 Lord. 0:12:37.840 --> 0:12:40.680 I want to thank you that my set times are coming. 0:12:41.720 --> 0:12:44.400 I can promise you this, God is not going to 0:12:44.440 --> 0:12:48.160 be one second. Lad, He's not going to accidentally miss 0:12:48.440 --> 0:12:52.040 your set time. And it's good to be passionate about 0:12:52.040 --> 0:12:57.319 our dreams and passionate about healing, freedom, promotion, But don't 0:12:57.320 --> 0:13:00.880 be so consumed that you're not going to be while 0:13:00.920 --> 0:13:03.800 you're waiting for God to bring it to pass. Don't 0:13:03.840 --> 0:13:06.960 put your happiness on hold until everything works out. 0:13:07.600 --> 0:13:12.040 This day is a gift. Enjoy your life while God 0:13:12.200 --> 0:13:12.720 is working. 0:13:13.559 --> 0:13:17.280 Enter into rest, not uptight stressed out. When is it 0:13:17.320 --> 0:13:20.400 going to change? You have to pass the test of 0:13:20.480 --> 0:13:24.000 being happy where you are before God will get you 0:13:24.080 --> 0:13:26.960 to where you want to be. If you can only 0:13:27.000 --> 0:13:30.360 be happy when the problem turns around, when you have 0:13:30.440 --> 0:13:34.360 the baby, when your business grows, that's going to delay 0:13:34.600 --> 0:13:35.800 what God is going to do. 0:13:36.440 --> 0:13:38.720 You have to put your foot down and say, I 0:13:38.760 --> 0:13:40.560 am going to enjoy this day. 0:13:41.080 --> 0:13:44.400 This pandemic is not going to stop me. These challenges, 0:13:44.480 --> 0:13:47.280 this bad break. God, I know you're on the throne. 0:13:47.800 --> 0:13:50.640 I trust your timing, I trust your ways. 0:13:50.920 --> 0:13:54.079 In the meantime, I'm going to live my life happy. 0:13:54.760 --> 0:13:58.960 Imagine if Joseph had not learned how to release control. 0:13:59.800 --> 0:14:02.520 Gave him a dream as a teenager that he would 0:14:02.559 --> 0:14:05.560 be in leadership, that people would bow down before him. 0:14:06.120 --> 0:14:09.120 What if he had a preconceived idea of how it was. 0:14:09.080 --> 0:14:09.760 Going to happen. 0:14:10.320 --> 0:14:12.800 Surely someone is going to show up at my house 0:14:13.280 --> 0:14:16.720 like they did for David and anoint me king. Pick 0:14:16.800 --> 0:14:19.360 me out of a lineup, show me favor, and I'll 0:14:19.360 --> 0:14:20.520 step into leadership. 0:14:21.160 --> 0:14:23.400 But God does things unusual ways. 0:14:24.000 --> 0:14:29.120 He uses adversities, bad breaks, disappointments to move us into 0:14:29.160 --> 0:14:33.400 our destiny. The trouble looks like a setback, but really 0:14:33.480 --> 0:14:38.680 trouble is transportation. God uses trouble to move you to 0:14:38.760 --> 0:14:42.080 where he wants you to be. We think God only 0:14:42.160 --> 0:14:45.480 uses favor, good breaks, open doors. 0:14:45.920 --> 0:14:49.000 We know that's his blessing. We think him when that happens. 0:14:49.480 --> 0:14:53.120 But I've learned God uses closed doors just as much 0:14:53.160 --> 0:14:56.560 as open doors. He uses people that are against us 0:14:57.160 --> 0:14:59.640 just as much as people that are for us. He 0:14:59.760 --> 0:15:04.800 used his rejection, betrayals, delays to position us for promotion. 0:15:05.440 --> 0:15:08.560 We can't see it at the time. We don't like it. 0:15:08.560 --> 0:15:12.680 It's uncomfortable, but it's the hand of God ordering our steps. 0:15:13.640 --> 0:15:17.160 Joseph had this dream. He knew God's favor was on him. 0:15:17.400 --> 0:15:20.800 What happened. He was betrayed by his brothers. 0:15:20.800 --> 0:15:25.080 Thrown into a pit, sold into slavery, falsely accused, put 0:15:25.080 --> 0:15:29.680 in prison, one bad break after another. But Joseph understood 0:15:29.680 --> 0:15:34.240 this principle. He never complained he never got bitter. I'm 0:15:34.280 --> 0:15:39.800 sure there were many lonely nights, times were he felt forgotten, abandoned, 0:15:40.280 --> 0:15:43.720 But deep down he could hear that still small voice 0:15:43.760 --> 0:15:45.840 telling him I'm still in control. 0:15:46.360 --> 0:15:48.520 I've got you in the palm of my hand. This 0:15:48.600 --> 0:15:50.800 is all a part of your destiny. 0:15:50.880 --> 0:15:53.680 If he would have tried to control it, tried to 0:15:53.680 --> 0:15:58.360 make it happen his way, he would have lived bitter, frustrated, angry. 0:15:59.080 --> 0:16:00.240 Every day he. 0:16:00.240 --> 0:16:04.440 Had to release the worry, release the frustration, release how 0:16:04.480 --> 0:16:08.560 he thought it would happen. Thirteen years later, he became 0:16:08.600 --> 0:16:10.320 the Prime Minister of Egypt. 0:16:10.640 --> 0:16:12.520 He saw that dream come to pass. 0:16:13.320 --> 0:16:20.040 But when you study his journey, you see twists and turns, delays, detours, disappointments. 0:16:20.600 --> 0:16:25.120 Proverb says, since the Lord is directing your steps, why 0:16:25.200 --> 0:16:28.600 try to understand everything that happens along the way. 0:16:29.720 --> 0:16:31.680 Are you frustrated because you. 0:16:31.640 --> 0:16:35.480 Don't understand something that's happened to you, upset over a 0:16:35.480 --> 0:16:38.200 bad break, worried because of a delay. 0:16:38.960 --> 0:16:41.200 How do you know it's not the hand of God 0:16:41.560 --> 0:16:42.840 leading you to your throne. 0:16:43.360 --> 0:16:46.320 How do you know you're not a Joseph, that you're 0:16:46.360 --> 0:16:49.680 not right on course on schedule to see what. 0:16:49.640 --> 0:16:53.360 God promised you. It may not happen like you think. 0:16:53.840 --> 0:16:59.120 God uses difficulties to position us for destiny. What you're 0:16:59.200 --> 0:17:03.800 upset about a necessary step, that closed door, the delay, 0:17:04.160 --> 0:17:08.280 it's intromental in you reaching your purpose. Don't try to 0:17:08.440 --> 0:17:11.720 understand everything that happens along the way. 0:17:12.160 --> 0:17:14.120 God works in mysterious ways. 0:17:14.720 --> 0:17:17.080 If you're trying to figure everything out, you're going to 0:17:17.080 --> 0:17:21.560 get confused. There are things that you're not supposed to understand. 0:17:21.840 --> 0:17:23.560 That's what faith is all about. 0:17:24.520 --> 0:17:28.240 If that adversity was going to stop your destiny, God 0:17:28.280 --> 0:17:31.760 wouldn't have allowed it. If that disappointment was going to 0:17:31.840 --> 0:17:33.480 keep you from your purpose, it. 0:17:33.400 --> 0:17:37.160 Wouldn't have happened. God is seeing what you're made of. 0:17:37.960 --> 0:17:40.879 This is your chance to say, like Joseph, God, I 0:17:41.000 --> 0:17:42.760 trust you even. 0:17:42.480 --> 0:17:43.800 When I don't understand it. 0:17:44.119 --> 0:17:46.800 I'm gonna keep being my best, even when it's not fair. 0:17:47.200 --> 0:17:50.320 I'm gonna keep giving you praise when I could be complaining. 0:17:50.600 --> 0:17:54.040 I'm gonna keep moving forward when I feel like going backwards. 0:17:54.920 --> 0:17:55.720 Luke twenty two. 0:17:56.320 --> 0:17:58.080 Jesus was about to be crucified. 0:17:58.600 --> 0:18:00.680 He was on the mount of Olive praying. 0:18:01.359 --> 0:18:04.480 Judas came up with a group of soldiers and kissed Jesus. 0:18:04.920 --> 0:18:06.560 That's how they knew who to arrest. 0:18:07.119 --> 0:18:09.840 Now, when they went to take Jesus, Peter pulled out 0:18:09.840 --> 0:18:12.800 his sword and cut off one of the soldier's ears. 0:18:13.119 --> 0:18:15.920 He was ready to fight. He wasn't about to let 0:18:15.920 --> 0:18:20.120 this go down without opposition. The other disciples said, Lord, 0:18:20.320 --> 0:18:24.280 should we fight. We brought our swords. Jesus said in 0:18:24.359 --> 0:18:27.359 verse fifty two, don't resist anymore. 0:18:28.240 --> 0:18:31.080 He was saying, this is all a part of my plan. 0:18:31.760 --> 0:18:35.760 I can't reach my destiny without Judas kissing me, without 0:18:35.760 --> 0:18:39.399 this betrayal, I can't rise from the dead. I can't 0:18:39.440 --> 0:18:44.600 bring salvation without these soldiers arresting me, without me being crucified. 0:18:45.240 --> 0:18:47.600 And it looked like the enemy was in control. 0:18:48.160 --> 0:18:51.560 The soldiers were getting the upper hand, taking Jesus away. 0:18:52.040 --> 0:18:55.879 They didn't realize they were taking him into his destiny. 0:18:56.640 --> 0:19:00.480 When we face hardships, the bad breaks, the disappoint ointments, 0:19:00.760 --> 0:19:04.080 it seems like the enemy is in control. That's when 0:19:04.119 --> 0:19:08.800 we want to fight, resist, get upset, live worried. God 0:19:08.880 --> 0:19:14.000 is saying, don't resist anymore, don't fight it, don't live bitter, 0:19:14.640 --> 0:19:18.320 don't try to get even trust me. I'm in control. 0:19:18.760 --> 0:19:23.800 I'm still directing your steps. Yes, resist the sickness, resist 0:19:23.880 --> 0:19:27.920 the addiction, but you shouldn't fight everything that comes your way. 0:19:28.600 --> 0:19:32.479 Live upset, can't sleep at night. The enemy didn't get 0:19:32.520 --> 0:19:36.480 the upper hand. He didn't somehow get control of your life. 0:19:36.680 --> 0:19:40.520 God is still on the throne. The betrayal wasn't fair. 0:19:41.000 --> 0:19:44.840 God didn't stop it because it's leading you to your destiny. 0:19:45.480 --> 0:19:46.920 You didn't like the disappointment. 0:19:47.560 --> 0:19:51.119 Looks like the enemy is prevailing, like the opposition is 0:19:51.160 --> 0:19:52.000 holding you back. 0:19:52.480 --> 0:19:54.199 But you don't know what God is up to. 0:19:54.760 --> 0:19:57.639 What you can't see is on the other side of 0:19:57.680 --> 0:20:01.520 that crucifixion, so to speak, is a resurrection on the 0:20:01.520 --> 0:20:05.680 other side of the betrayal, the sickness, the disappointment is 0:20:05.760 --> 0:20:10.880 a new level of your destiny. Stop resisting and start resting. 0:20:12.080 --> 0:20:16.440 Sometimes we're trying to play God. We're straighten everybody out, 0:20:17.000 --> 0:20:20.879 vindicate ourselves, fix this situation at work. Why don't you 0:20:20.960 --> 0:20:25.359 release control. God doesn't need our help. He's not looking 0:20:25.400 --> 0:20:29.560 for some advice, hoping you'll stop those betrayals, keep those 0:20:29.600 --> 0:20:34.360 bad breaks from happening. No, don't resist anymore. Let him 0:20:34.440 --> 0:20:38.040 be God. You don't have to fight everything that comes 0:20:38.080 --> 0:20:42.800 your way. You can't reach your destiny without a Judas kiss. 0:20:43.119 --> 0:20:46.840 Don't fight Judas, kiss him back and move on. You 0:20:46.920 --> 0:20:50.439 can't become who you were created to be without a 0:20:50.520 --> 0:20:54.639 soul being jealous like with David, without a Potiphar's wife 0:20:54.800 --> 0:20:59.040 falsely accusing you, like with Joseph, without a king Nebukinezzar 0:20:59.359 --> 0:21:01.840 throwing you in to a fiery furnace, like the three 0:21:01.880 --> 0:21:05.240 hebrew Children, without a pharaoh trying to hold. 0:21:05.040 --> 0:21:06.919 You captive, like the Israelites. 0:21:07.520 --> 0:21:11.560 The good news is the opposition is not in control. 0:21:11.880 --> 0:21:15.160 They are palms in the hands of the Most High God. 0:21:15.520 --> 0:21:16.960 He is ordering your steps. 0:21:17.760 --> 0:21:23.439 Nothing happens without his permission. Nineteen fifty nine, my father 0:21:23.600 --> 0:21:26.840 was pastoring a successful church. They had just built a 0:21:26.880 --> 0:21:30.640 new auditorium. He was on the state board for his denomination. 0:21:31.200 --> 0:21:34.160 Life was good, looked like he had a bright future, 0:21:34.840 --> 0:21:37.960 but my sister was born with something like cerebral pauls in. 0:21:38.640 --> 0:21:41.679 My father went to a hotel downtown to be alone 0:21:41.720 --> 0:21:44.800 for a few days. He read the Bible like it 0:21:44.920 --> 0:21:46.760 was the first time he ever read it. 0:21:47.320 --> 0:21:49.320 He saw how God is a. 0:21:49.160 --> 0:21:53.399 Healer, how he wants us to live a victorious, bless life. 0:21:54.040 --> 0:21:57.240 He came back and started sharing his new message of 0:21:57.280 --> 0:22:01.920 faith and victory with his congregation. Much to his surprise, 0:22:02.440 --> 0:22:05.160 some of them didn't like it. It didn't fit into 0:22:05.200 --> 0:22:09.040 their tradition. They ended up asking him to leave. He 0:22:09.119 --> 0:22:12.960 was so disappointed. He had spent years pouring his heart 0:22:13.080 --> 0:22:16.399 and soul into those people. My father could have fought it, 0:22:16.920 --> 0:22:19.640 made a big buss, showed them that he was right 0:22:19.680 --> 0:22:20.520 and they were wrong. 0:22:20.920 --> 0:22:26.199 Instead, he didn't resist. He recognized that closed door was 0:22:26.240 --> 0:22:27.240 the hand of God. 0:22:27.960 --> 0:22:30.639 He and my mother went out and started Lakewood in 0:22:30.720 --> 0:22:32.480 an abandoned fee store. 0:22:32.359 --> 0:22:33.400 With ninety people. 0:22:33.760 --> 0:22:36.960 Critics said it would never last, But sixty one years later, 0:22:37.200 --> 0:22:39.040 here we are still going strong. 0:22:41.000 --> 0:22:43.720 God knew my father couldn't. 0:22:43.400 --> 0:22:48.159 Reach his destiny staying in that limited environment. Those people 0:22:48.200 --> 0:22:51.439 that were against him, they couldn't help it. They weren't 0:22:51.480 --> 0:22:54.600 bad people, they were pawns in the hands of God. 0:22:55.520 --> 0:22:57.960 You have to be mature enough to know when to 0:22:58.080 --> 0:23:01.919 resist and when not to resis. You're not supposed to 0:23:01.960 --> 0:23:07.560 fight every battle. God uses betrayals, closed doors, disappointments to 0:23:07.680 --> 0:23:11.000 move you into your purpose. What if my father would 0:23:11.040 --> 0:23:15.000 have been bitter, stubborn, not willing to move God I 0:23:15.080 --> 0:23:17.520 know you want me to pastor here, he would have 0:23:17.520 --> 0:23:23.000 missed his destiny. Don't resist, rest, don't try to control 0:23:23.080 --> 0:23:26.760 how it's going to happen. Release control, be open to 0:23:26.840 --> 0:23:28.040 what God is going to do. 0:23:28.960 --> 0:23:29.919 Act twenty seven. 0:23:30.320 --> 0:23:33.720 Paul was a prisoner on a ship sailing toward Rome. 0:23:34.240 --> 0:23:36.720 An angel appeared to him and said he was going 0:23:36.760 --> 0:23:40.600 to stand before Caesar. On the journey, they encountered a 0:23:40.720 --> 0:23:45.440 huge storm with hurricane force winds. For fourteen days, they 0:23:45.440 --> 0:23:48.840 didn't see the sun nor the stars. They tried their 0:23:48.880 --> 0:23:51.600 best to steer the ship to try to keep some 0:23:51.720 --> 0:23:55.360 kind of control, but the winds were too much. Instead 0:23:55.359 --> 0:23:58.000 of fighting it trying to force where they wanted it 0:23:58.080 --> 0:24:01.960 to go, the scripture says they took down the cells 0:24:02.520 --> 0:24:06.680 and let the wind blow the ship wherever the storm. 0:24:06.440 --> 0:24:10.040 Wanted it to go. When you've done everything you can. 0:24:10.400 --> 0:24:14.359 You prayed, you believed, you stood in faith, there comes 0:24:14.400 --> 0:24:17.359 a time where you have to do like them. Quit 0:24:17.440 --> 0:24:20.520 fighting it, Quit trying to force it to work out, 0:24:20.880 --> 0:24:25.560 Quit losing sleep, and release control. God will not take 0:24:25.600 --> 0:24:28.119 you someplace where he wants sustain you. 0:24:29.119 --> 0:24:30.440 How do you release control? 0:24:30.720 --> 0:24:34.359 Quit worrying about it, quit losing sleep, Quit trying to 0:24:34.359 --> 0:24:37.960 make it happen your way. Say God, I trust you. 0:24:38.720 --> 0:24:41.840 I know you're in control of these winds. They can 0:24:41.880 --> 0:24:45.560 blow me forward, backward, left, right, But one thing I'm 0:24:45.640 --> 0:24:47.600 certain of, where you take me. 0:24:47.920 --> 0:24:51.240 Is exactly where I'm supposed to be. That's what my 0:24:51.320 --> 0:24:51.960 father did. 0:24:52.280 --> 0:24:56.040 Those winds blew him to Lakewood, the same winds that 0:24:56.080 --> 0:24:58.800 were meant to stop you. If you'll stay in faith, 0:24:59.040 --> 0:25:02.480 God will shift winds and instead of blowing you backwards, 0:25:02.520 --> 0:25:03.679 they will blow you forward. 0:25:04.160 --> 0:25:06.240 That's what the scripture says. What's meant for. 0:25:06.240 --> 0:25:10.119 Your harm, God will turn to your advantage. Are you 0:25:10.240 --> 0:25:14.800 resisting or are you resting? Are you trying to control everything? 0:25:15.440 --> 0:25:18.719 Upset because it's not happening your way, trying to force it, 0:25:19.359 --> 0:25:22.160 Why don't you take down the cells and trust what 0:25:22.240 --> 0:25:26.159 God is doing. You may not understand it now, it 0:25:26.200 --> 0:25:29.280 may not make sense yet, but one day you'll see 0:25:29.400 --> 0:25:32.520 it was a necessary step to reach your destiny. 0:25:32.960 --> 0:25:35.439 It looked like a setback, but really it was a 0:25:35.480 --> 0:25:38.359 set up. I talked to a young lady. 0:25:38.880 --> 0:25:43.200 Life was going great until she was diagnosed with tuberculosis. 0:25:43.440 --> 0:25:45.840 She was out of work so long that she lost 0:25:45.840 --> 0:25:49.320 her job. She couldn't afford an apartment. A friend gave 0:25:49.320 --> 0:25:51.919 her a place to stay. She ended up getting a 0:25:52.000 --> 0:25:55.760 job with the major airlines. She was so excited finally 0:25:55.840 --> 0:25:59.159 getting back on her feet. Then the pandemic hit the 0:25:59.240 --> 0:26:02.040 airline cut her work back to only a few hours 0:26:02.080 --> 0:26:05.240 a week. She had to get an additional job working 0:26:05.280 --> 0:26:09.120 with a security company. One night, her car was stolen 0:26:09.240 --> 0:26:13.080 at work. It was one bad break after another. She 0:26:13.160 --> 0:26:15.920 got a rental car and it had serious XM. 0:26:16.600 --> 0:26:18.400 She was so discouraged, she. 0:26:18.400 --> 0:26:21.280 Said she needed to laugh, so she started flipping through 0:26:21.320 --> 0:26:25.479 the channels looking for a comedian. She came across our station, 0:26:25.920 --> 0:26:28.520 Channel one twenty eight and thought I was a comedian. 0:26:28.920 --> 0:26:32.119 She started listening found out that I wasn't, but she 0:26:32.200 --> 0:26:33.240 couldn't turn it off. 0:26:33.840 --> 0:26:35.439 Hope began to feel her heart. 0:26:35.760 --> 0:26:39.120 Dreams started coming back to life, fresh vision. She ended 0:26:39.200 --> 0:26:44.240 up giving her life to Christ. Recently, her company offered 0:26:44.280 --> 0:26:48.639 her the opportunity to transfer to Hawaii. She had always 0:26:48.720 --> 0:26:52.639 dreamed of living there. It was a management position. Because 0:26:52.680 --> 0:26:55.239 she worked for the airline, she can travel back and 0:26:55.280 --> 0:26:57.119 forth at no charge. 0:26:57.200 --> 0:26:58.440 She said, I look back. 0:26:58.280 --> 0:27:01.000 Now at all the things that happened to me, and 0:27:01.080 --> 0:27:04.680 I realize it was all working for my good. If 0:27:04.680 --> 0:27:07.160 my truck hadn't have been stolen, I wouldn't have come 0:27:07.200 --> 0:27:07.879 to know the Lord. 0:27:08.400 --> 0:27:09.320 If I didn't work for. 0:27:09.280 --> 0:27:12.479 The airline, I wouldn't have these free flights. If they 0:27:12.520 --> 0:27:15.760 hadn't cut my hours back, I wouldn't have taken this job. 0:27:16.000 --> 0:27:18.960 I wouldn't have this new opportunity to move to Hawaii. 0:27:19.800 --> 0:27:22.680 She couldn't see it at the time, but the winds 0:27:22.760 --> 0:27:26.119 of that storm were blowing her to where God wanted 0:27:26.119 --> 0:27:30.760 her to be. That difficulty you're facing, that trouble, It 0:27:30.840 --> 0:27:34.159 is not going to stop you. The trouble is transportation. 0:27:34.840 --> 0:27:38.320 Don't fight everything worried. Why did this happen? 0:27:38.520 --> 0:27:41.040 God knows what he's doing. He has you in the 0:27:41.080 --> 0:27:42.280 palm of his hand. 0:27:42.920 --> 0:27:44.920 He may not do it the way you had planned, 0:27:45.280 --> 0:27:48.600 but where He's taken you is better than you've imagined. 0:27:49.400 --> 0:27:52.879 Psalm fifty five says cast your burdens on the Lord, 0:27:53.440 --> 0:27:56.359 Release the weight of them, and he will sustain you. 0:27:57.359 --> 0:27:59.400 How many weights are you carrying around? 0:28:00.040 --> 0:28:03.240 The weight of worry, the weight of what you don't understand, 0:28:03.680 --> 0:28:05.399 the weight of how am I going to make it 0:28:05.440 --> 0:28:08.760 through this tough season? There's something you have to do. 0:28:09.400 --> 0:28:12.280 God is not going to take the burden away. You 0:28:12.400 --> 0:28:16.600 have to release the worry, release the frustration, release having 0:28:16.640 --> 0:28:19.399 to figure it out, come back to a place of peace. 0:28:19.960 --> 0:28:23.440 The right attitude is God. My life is in your hands. 0:28:23.920 --> 0:28:28.080 I commit my dreams, my family, my finances, my health 0:28:28.280 --> 0:28:28.680 to you. 0:28:29.200 --> 0:28:29.280 Now. 0:28:29.320 --> 0:28:32.320 I'm not going to fight everything I don't like. I'm 0:28:32.359 --> 0:28:35.080 not gonna live upset when it doesn't go my way. 0:28:35.400 --> 0:28:38.239 I know you're working all things for my good. I 0:28:38.280 --> 0:28:40.760 trust your timing, I trust your ways. 0:28:41.840 --> 0:28:44.520 When you have believed, you enter into rest. 0:28:45.160 --> 0:28:49.080 I'm asking you to stop resisting and start resting. If 0:28:49.160 --> 0:28:53.160 you'll release control, I believe and declare, weights that have 0:28:53.240 --> 0:28:53.800 burdened you. 0:28:53.800 --> 0:28:55.560 Down are lifting off of you. 0:28:55.680 --> 0:28:58.640 Right now, God is about to shift the winds of 0:28:58.680 --> 0:29:01.200 that storm blowing you backwards. 0:29:01.360 --> 0:29:02.840 It's going to blow you forward. 0:29:03.160 --> 0:29:08.120 Promotion is coming, healing is coming, freedom, the fullness of 0:29:08.160 --> 0:29:10.480 your destiny in Jesus' name. 0:29:11.040 --> 0:29:12.720 If you receive it, can you say amen? 0:29:12.800 --> 0:29:13.160 Today? 0:29:14.600 --> 0:29:17.480 I'd like to give you an opportunity to make Jesus 0:29:17.520 --> 0:29:20.000 the lord of your life. Would you pray with me? 0:29:20.760 --> 0:29:25.960 Just say Lord, Jesus, I repent of my sins. Come 0:29:25.960 --> 0:29:29.600 into my heart. I'll make you my lord and Savior. 0:29:30.600 --> 0:29:33.120 If you prayed that simple prayer, we believe you got 0:29:33.160 --> 0:29:36.320 born again.
