But thanks again for 0:02:13.200 --> 0:02:15.679 coming out, Thanks for tuning in. I like to start 0:02:15.720 --> 0:02:17.960 each week with something kind of funny. And I heard 0:02:18.000 --> 0:02:21.240 about this elderly couple that were having a terrible problem 0:02:21.320 --> 0:02:24.160 with their memory. They went to the doctor and he 0:02:24.200 --> 0:02:28.000 instructed them to start writing down everything they had been forgetting. 0:02:28.440 --> 0:02:31.000 One night, they were watching TV and the wife said, 0:02:31.000 --> 0:02:32.919 I sure would like a bowl of ice cream. 0:02:33.280 --> 0:02:34.280 The husband said, I'll. 0:02:34.160 --> 0:02:36.320 Go get it for you. She said, honey, you know 0:02:36.360 --> 0:02:39.200 what the doctor said. You better write it down. He said, 0:02:39.200 --> 0:02:40.959 I'm just going to the kitchen. I'm not going to 0:02:41.000 --> 0:02:43.640 forget it. He came back in a few minutes and 0:02:43.680 --> 0:02:47.799 handed her a plate of bacon and eggs. She shook 0:02:47.800 --> 0:02:49.600 her head and said, I knew this was going to happen. 0:02:49.800 --> 0:02:55.320 You forgot my toast. All right, Hold up your Bible. 0:02:55.400 --> 0:02:56.360 Say it like you mean it. 0:02:56.880 --> 0:02:59.839 This is my Bible. I am what it says. I am. 0:03:00.400 --> 0:03:02.880 I have what it says I have. I can do 0:03:02.960 --> 0:03:05.520 what it says I can do. Today I will be 0:03:05.600 --> 0:03:09.639 taught the word of God. I boldly confess my mind 0:03:09.760 --> 0:03:13.160 is alert, my heart is receptive. I will never be 0:03:13.240 --> 0:03:17.760 the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you. I want 0:03:17.760 --> 0:03:21.280 to talk to you today about staying open for something new. 0:03:22.200 --> 0:03:25.800 Successful people know how to change with the times. They 0:03:25.840 --> 0:03:28.480 don't get stuck in a rut doing the same thing 0:03:28.639 --> 0:03:33.320 the same way year after year. They're constantly evaluating where 0:03:33.320 --> 0:03:36.920 they are and what they're doing. They make adjustments so 0:03:36.960 --> 0:03:40.600 they can improve. And just because something worked five years 0:03:40.600 --> 0:03:43.720 ago doesn't mean it's still going to work today. We 0:03:43.840 --> 0:03:46.920 have to stay open for change. We can't get so 0:03:47.120 --> 0:03:49.800 set in our ways that we won't try anything new. 0:03:50.640 --> 0:03:53.800 This is why many people don't have any enthusiasm. 0:03:54.080 --> 0:03:55.920 There's no freshness in their life. 0:03:56.640 --> 0:04:01.520 Every time an opportunity comes for change, for promotion, for increase, 0:04:02.080 --> 0:04:05.480 because they're not used to it, they shrink back. They 0:04:05.480 --> 0:04:08.360 don't realize that's what's keeping them from going to the 0:04:08.400 --> 0:04:12.360 next level. And in the coming days, don't be surprised 0:04:12.520 --> 0:04:16.920 if God brings new opportunities across your path. Some of 0:04:16.960 --> 0:04:19.560 you are going to be offered a position that you 0:04:19.680 --> 0:04:22.919 feel is over your head. Others you're going to have 0:04:22.960 --> 0:04:26.560 an opportunity to change careers and get into a different field. 0:04:27.240 --> 0:04:29.120 Or maybe you single people. 0:04:28.960 --> 0:04:31.920 God's going to bring somebody new into your life, a 0:04:31.960 --> 0:04:36.039 divine connection. You'll be tempted at first to play it 0:04:36.160 --> 0:04:39.080 safe and think about all the reasons why you can't 0:04:39.080 --> 0:04:42.000 do it. You've been hurt in the past, you can't 0:04:42.000 --> 0:04:45.520 get into that new relationship, you're not qualified for that 0:04:45.600 --> 0:04:49.120 new position, or Joel, I couldn't try a different feel 0:04:49.200 --> 0:04:50.440 what if I fail? 0:04:50.839 --> 0:04:52.800 But if you're going to experience. 0:04:52.240 --> 0:04:55.599 God's best, you gotta be willing to take a risk. 0:04:56.200 --> 0:04:58.960 You can't get stuck thinking that it can only happen 0:04:59.120 --> 0:05:03.440 one way. God likes to do new things. I read 0:05:03.480 --> 0:05:07.160 where Up until World War II, the Swiss Watch Company 0:05:07.480 --> 0:05:10.960 was the largest watchmaker in the world. They controlled ninety 0:05:11.000 --> 0:05:13.880 percent of the watch market. They were very good at 0:05:13.880 --> 0:05:17.640 what they did. They made these beautiful, precise watches. No 0:05:17.720 --> 0:05:20.880 one could compete with them. But in the late nineteen 0:05:20.960 --> 0:05:25.400 sixties researchers presented them with a new concept of watch. 0:05:25.920 --> 0:05:27.840 It was the electronic watch. 0:05:28.560 --> 0:05:32.040 Instead of having the traditional hands that tick, it had 0:05:32.080 --> 0:05:33.160 a battery on the. 0:05:33.080 --> 0:05:35.720 Inside, known as the Court's watch. 0:05:36.400 --> 0:05:40.360 Those managers looked at it and didn't think twice. They said, 0:05:40.400 --> 0:05:43.280 this watch will never sell. Nobody wants to wear an 0:05:43.279 --> 0:05:46.280 electronic watch. They didn't give it the time of day. 0:05:46.960 --> 0:05:50.440 Why it wasn't the traditional thing that they were used to. 0:05:51.080 --> 0:05:52.480 They were closed minded. 0:05:53.000 --> 0:05:56.359 They didn't realize just because something was great for a 0:05:56.480 --> 0:06:00.360 time doesn't mean it's going to be great forever. Those 0:06:00.440 --> 0:06:04.599 researchers took that same invention to the International Watch Fair, 0:06:05.240 --> 0:06:08.400 and two companies that had nothing to do with watches 0:06:08.440 --> 0:06:12.279 at the time saw the potential of this new Court's watch, 0:06:12.600 --> 0:06:15.320 and they quickly bought the rights to it, and before 0:06:15.400 --> 0:06:19.159 long they controlled the market share of watches sold around 0:06:19.200 --> 0:06:22.000 the world. What am I saying? We have to stay 0:06:22.040 --> 0:06:26.120 open to new ideas when something comes across your path 0:06:26.160 --> 0:06:29.560 that you're not used to. Don't be closed minded. Don't 0:06:29.640 --> 0:06:31.320 just rule it out and say that's not for me. 0:06:32.000 --> 0:06:37.120 Be open for new opportunities. God wants us to stay fresh. 0:06:37.360 --> 0:06:40.120 We are not supposed to live off of past victories. 0:06:40.920 --> 0:06:44.120 I know some people they're always talking about the good 0:06:44.160 --> 0:06:45.960 old days, and that's fine. 0:06:46.000 --> 0:06:47.960 I've had a lot of good old days. I hope 0:06:48.000 --> 0:06:51.040 you have too. But can I tell you something, God 0:06:51.120 --> 0:06:53.680 has some good new days for you. 0:06:53.680 --> 0:06:56.680 Your greatest victories are not behind you, they are still 0:06:56.720 --> 0:06:57.560 out in front of you. 0:06:58.440 --> 0:06:58.560 Now. 0:06:58.600 --> 0:07:02.040 I want to light a new on the inside. Some 0:07:02.120 --> 0:07:05.719 of you have lost your passion. You've gone through a disappointment. 0:07:06.080 --> 0:07:09.159 Things didn't work out, and now you're in that rut 0:07:09.200 --> 0:07:09.760 just doing. 0:07:09.600 --> 0:07:12.560 The same thing the same way. But this is a 0:07:12.600 --> 0:07:13.080 new day. 0:07:13.800 --> 0:07:16.560 God is getting you prepared for the new things He's 0:07:16.600 --> 0:07:20.440 about to do when those opportunities come across your path. 0:07:21.040 --> 0:07:24.040 Don't you dare think I can't do this. I don't 0:07:24.040 --> 0:07:26.720 have those skills. This is not what I'm used to 0:07:26.760 --> 0:07:29.480 I'm too old. No, shake all of that off and 0:07:29.560 --> 0:07:32.560 say I am well able, I am equipped. I'm annoying 0:07:32.600 --> 0:07:35.120 that I am empowered. I'm going to step into a 0:07:35.200 --> 0:07:38.640 new level of my destiny. I saw a documentary on 0:07:38.680 --> 0:07:43.960 television about this professional thief. This man was incredibly talented. 0:07:44.480 --> 0:07:46.000 He was one of the most. 0:07:45.800 --> 0:07:47.440 Brilliant people I've ever seen. 0:07:47.920 --> 0:07:50.960 Just his strategy and the way he thought and planned 0:07:51.000 --> 0:07:55.480 out his burglaries was so fascinating. He had burglarized homes 0:07:55.520 --> 0:07:59.440 for twenty one years without getting caught. He never heard anyone, 0:08:00.080 --> 0:08:02.440 only do it during the daytime if no one was there. 0:08:03.160 --> 0:08:05.040 The police were so frustrated. 0:08:05.720 --> 0:08:07.960 They knew in general where he was going to hit, 0:08:08.160 --> 0:08:10.720 they had figured out his pattern, but he would always 0:08:10.840 --> 0:08:14.800 outsmart them, and they brought in federal agents and some 0:08:14.840 --> 0:08:18.880 of the most brilliant detectives around, but still year after 0:08:19.040 --> 0:08:22.360 year he continued to elude them. Well, there was a 0:08:22.400 --> 0:08:25.360 fluke incident and he got caught after twenty one years. 0:08:25.760 --> 0:08:29.200 They were interviewing him on this documentary. He looked like 0:08:29.320 --> 0:08:32.040 a typical middle class businessman. 0:08:32.480 --> 0:08:33.960 He did not look like a thief. 0:08:34.520 --> 0:08:37.280 And the man asked him, why did you choose with 0:08:37.440 --> 0:08:41.319 all this skill, all this expertise, why did you choose 0:08:41.559 --> 0:08:45.160 a life of crime. I'll never forget the way he answered. 0:08:45.320 --> 0:08:48.079 He said, this is all that I know how to do. 0:08:49.000 --> 0:08:52.000 He told how he was raised in a dysfunctional family, 0:08:52.360 --> 0:08:56.080 didn't have anyone really given him guidance. And as I watched, 0:08:56.160 --> 0:09:00.320 I thought to myself, how limited we become in our thinking. 0:09:00.960 --> 0:09:02.640 We get so one dimensional. 0:09:03.080 --> 0:09:06.120 I wanted to say to him, if you could successfully 0:09:06.240 --> 0:09:09.560 steal for twenty one years, out smarting some of the 0:09:09.600 --> 0:09:13.440 brightest minds around, don't you think you could run your 0:09:13.480 --> 0:09:17.599 own business. Don't you think you could do something equally 0:09:17.640 --> 0:09:21.320 as successful, being productive with your life. I had a 0:09:21.360 --> 0:09:24.079 young man tell me one time after the service how 0:09:24.120 --> 0:09:27.280 all he knew how to do was sell drugs. He 0:09:27.320 --> 0:09:30.440 came from a very rough neighborhood. He said Joel. I 0:09:30.480 --> 0:09:32.960 don't like what I do, but I don't have any 0:09:33.000 --> 0:09:35.680 other skills. I've never been to college, and this is 0:09:35.720 --> 0:09:38.120 the only way I know how to make a living. 0:09:38.520 --> 0:09:42.160 I said, listen, If you can sell drugs, don't sell 0:09:42.240 --> 0:09:46.120 yourself short. You're a lot smarter than you think. That's 0:09:46.200 --> 0:09:49.000 not the only thing you can do. Think about it 0:09:49.080 --> 0:09:52.560 like this. If you can sell drugs, you have to 0:09:52.600 --> 0:09:54.360 know how to market your product. 0:09:54.679 --> 0:09:55.440 That's marketing. 0:09:56.160 --> 0:09:58.200 You have to know how to get the word out. 0:09:58.320 --> 0:10:02.600 That's advertising. You have to take care of your clients, 0:10:02.720 --> 0:10:08.080 that's customer service. You have to know when to sell 0:10:08.440 --> 0:10:12.440 and when not to sell. That's a management decision. Don't 0:10:12.480 --> 0:10:15.320 fool yourself. If you can sell drugs, you can sell 0:10:15.360 --> 0:10:18.600 medical equipment. You could sell electronics, you can sell stocks 0:10:18.600 --> 0:10:19.160 and bonds. 0:10:21.640 --> 0:10:24.079 You need to reinvent. 0:10:23.360 --> 0:10:27.560 Yourself, get a new vision for your life. Maybe nobody's 0:10:27.600 --> 0:10:30.520 ever spoken faith into you, but let me tell you. 0:10:30.520 --> 0:10:33.280 You have a gift. You have something to offer. 0:10:33.800 --> 0:10:36.800 Don't use your God given talents for the wrong purposes. 0:10:37.440 --> 0:10:40.840 If you'll put yourself in the right environment and not 0:10:40.960 --> 0:10:43.480 get stuck with this mindset, this is all that I 0:10:43.520 --> 0:10:45.240 know how to do. For the rest of my life. 0:10:45.559 --> 0:10:48.240 Then you'll see God begin to open up new doors. 0:10:49.000 --> 0:10:51.240 It's not too late to start right where you are. 0:10:51.920 --> 0:10:55.080 You're not too old, you haven't made too many mistakes. 0:10:55.440 --> 0:10:58.160 You wouldn't be here if God didn't have more for. 0:10:58.120 --> 0:10:59.040 You to accomplish. 0:10:59.360 --> 0:11:02.839 Keep looking for new opportunities, be willing to get out 0:11:02.840 --> 0:11:05.840 of your comfort zone. And some of you today you 0:11:05.960 --> 0:11:09.880 just need some freshness in your life. Start stretching yourself. 0:11:10.520 --> 0:11:14.000 You have to stir up what God's put on the inside. 0:11:14.080 --> 0:11:16.720 If you don't have a dream, you're not really living, 0:11:17.040 --> 0:11:20.280 You're just existing. You have to have a reason to 0:11:20.320 --> 0:11:23.640 get out of bed each morning. Something that motivates you, 0:11:24.240 --> 0:11:27.840 something that you're passionate about. Maybe at one time you 0:11:27.920 --> 0:11:31.319 had a dream, but you went through some disappointments things 0:11:31.360 --> 0:11:32.120 didn't work out. 0:11:32.320 --> 0:11:36.320 But here's the key. When one dream dies, dream another dream. 0:11:37.000 --> 0:11:39.199 Just because it didn't work out the way you had 0:11:39.200 --> 0:11:43.679 it planned, doesn't mean God doesn't have another plan. You 0:11:43.720 --> 0:11:48.439 cannot allow one disappointment or even a series of disappointments, 0:11:48.559 --> 0:11:51.560 to convince you that it's not going to happen. You 0:11:51.600 --> 0:11:55.120 may have tried and failed, but understand a failure is 0:11:55.160 --> 0:11:59.160 not a denial it's just a delay. These thoughts will 0:11:59.200 --> 0:12:02.199 come saying it's over, You're too old. 0:12:02.240 --> 0:12:03.800 You blew it, you had your chance. 0:12:04.120 --> 0:12:06.520 All these thoughts will try to convince us to give 0:12:06.640 --> 0:12:09.439 up on what God has placed in our hearts. You've 0:12:09.440 --> 0:12:11.959 got to dig your heels in and say thanks, but 0:12:12.040 --> 0:12:14.600 no thanks. It may not have worked out my way, 0:12:14.880 --> 0:12:17.240 but I know God has another way. Now. I'm not 0:12:17.280 --> 0:12:19.840 gonna sit around and live my life defeated. I'm gonna 0:12:19.920 --> 0:12:23.080 rise up and dream a new dream. This is what 0:12:23.240 --> 0:12:26.880 Joshua had to do. He stayed open to things happening 0:12:26.960 --> 0:12:31.200 a different way. After Moses died, he was chosen to 0:12:31.320 --> 0:12:34.320 lead the people of Israel. They were headed toward the 0:12:34.320 --> 0:12:37.839 Promised Land. They came to the Jordan River. They needed 0:12:37.840 --> 0:12:42.120 to get across, but there was no bridge. Joshua remembered 0:12:42.280 --> 0:12:46.080 how his predecessor, Moses had held up his rod and 0:12:46.120 --> 0:12:49.360 parted the Red Sea. I'm sure he thought God would 0:12:49.400 --> 0:12:50.840 tell him to do it the same way. 0:12:51.520 --> 0:12:53.480 I can even imagine he goes on. 0:12:53.480 --> 0:12:56.440 Top of the hill, holds up his rod and says, God, 0:12:56.520 --> 0:13:01.000 please part this river. He's praying, he's hoping, he's believing. 0:13:01.760 --> 0:13:05.840 This is the first real test of his leadership. Everyone 0:13:06.000 --> 0:13:09.600 is watching closely, thinking, let's see if he has what 0:13:09.679 --> 0:13:13.559 Moses had. Let's see what Joshua is made of. He 0:13:13.600 --> 0:13:16.880 holds up the rod. But wouldn't you know it, nothing happened, 0:13:17.160 --> 0:13:19.040 The waters didn't budge. 0:13:19.080 --> 0:13:21.480 He could have easily thought, I must not be the 0:13:21.559 --> 0:13:22.080 right one. 0:13:22.640 --> 0:13:25.679 It worked for Moses, but it didn't work for me. No, 0:13:25.920 --> 0:13:31.080 Joshua understood this principle. He stayed open for something new. 0:13:31.200 --> 0:13:34.400 God told him to tell the priest to march toward 0:13:34.520 --> 0:13:37.840 the waters, and the moment their feet touched the waters, 0:13:38.080 --> 0:13:41.360 it would begin to part. The priest started walking toward 0:13:41.440 --> 0:13:44.400 the water. The closer they got, the more people tried 0:13:44.400 --> 0:13:46.839 to talk them out of it. You better not keep going, 0:13:47.160 --> 0:13:49.360 better not listen to Joshua. You're going to get out 0:13:49.400 --> 0:13:52.760 there and drown. Didn't phase them. They just kept walking, 0:13:52.960 --> 0:13:56.600 doing what God said, and sure enough, as soon as 0:13:56.640 --> 0:13:59.760 their feet touched the water, it began to pull back, 0:14:00.080 --> 0:14:02.800 and just like they did for Moses, the people were 0:14:02.840 --> 0:14:04.680 able to go through on dry ground. 0:14:05.960 --> 0:14:06.840 What am I saying? 0:14:07.679 --> 0:14:10.320 God chose to do it a different way than he 0:14:10.360 --> 0:14:14.720 did with Moses. Had Joshua been set in his ways, 0:14:15.040 --> 0:14:18.280 closed minded, he would have missed out on God's best. 0:14:18.920 --> 0:14:22.600 But Joshua's attitude was if it didn't work one way, 0:14:23.200 --> 0:14:25.960 I'm not gonna get defeated and give up. I know 0:14:26.160 --> 0:14:29.040 God has another way, So I'm gonna keep trying. I'm 0:14:29.080 --> 0:14:32.520 gonna keep believing. I'm gonna keep pressing forward until I 0:14:32.600 --> 0:14:36.080 find that right way. Could it be that we've been 0:14:36.160 --> 0:14:39.480 too set in our ways and we've given up after 0:14:39.520 --> 0:14:42.640 the first time, or the second time or the fifth time, 0:14:43.120 --> 0:14:47.600 and we've missed out on seeing our water's part I found. 0:14:47.960 --> 0:14:49.200 You have to get to your. 0:14:49.120 --> 0:14:52.600 Closed doors before you'll ever come to your open doors. 0:14:53.440 --> 0:14:56.440 Don't get discouraged and give up and settle just because 0:14:56.440 --> 0:15:01.000 it didn't happen one way. Keep knocking, keep believing, keep hoping, 0:15:01.240 --> 0:15:04.480 keep dreaming. You may have to have ten people tell 0:15:04.520 --> 0:15:07.360 you no before you come to that one yes, but 0:15:07.480 --> 0:15:09.960 that one yes will make up for all the other nose. 0:15:10.760 --> 0:15:12.880 You may have a dozen things that you tried that 0:15:12.960 --> 0:15:16.040 don't work out, but if you'll stay in faith, you'll 0:15:16.080 --> 0:15:18.840 come to that one thing that does work out. It's 0:15:18.880 --> 0:15:21.440 like this little boy I heard about. He was five 0:15:21.520 --> 0:15:23.960 or six years old, and he had a baseball and 0:15:24.040 --> 0:15:26.520 a bat. He looked at that bat, and he said 0:15:26.560 --> 0:15:30.320 to himself, I am the best hitter in all the world. 0:15:30.880 --> 0:15:33.480 He threw the ball up, took a swing, and missed. 0:15:33.960 --> 0:15:36.680 He picked the ball up and said it more determined, 0:15:37.080 --> 0:15:39.960 I am the best hitter in all the world. He 0:15:40.080 --> 0:15:43.400 threw it up, swung straight too, missed again. He picked 0:15:43.400 --> 0:15:46.000 the ball up. This time he straightened his hat. He 0:15:46.080 --> 0:15:49.400 said it with even more intensity, I am the best 0:15:49.640 --> 0:15:52.360 hitter in all the world. He threw the ball up, 0:15:52.720 --> 0:15:55.240 concentrated the best he could, took. 0:15:55.080 --> 0:15:56.760 A swing, and he missed Strike three. 0:15:57.360 --> 0:16:00.000 He simply laid his bat down, picked the ball up, 0:16:00.080 --> 0:16:02.480 and said, what do you know, I am the best 0:16:02.600 --> 0:16:07.880 picture in all the world. If we're going to be successful, 0:16:08.160 --> 0:16:11.560 we've got to stay open to new ideas, be willing 0:16:11.680 --> 0:16:16.320 to reinvent yourself. The scripture says God's ways are not 0:16:16.480 --> 0:16:20.000 our ways. They are higher and better than our ways. 0:16:20.840 --> 0:16:24.240 That tells me God's dream for your life is so 0:16:24.360 --> 0:16:27.560 much bigger, so much greater than your own. When a 0:16:27.640 --> 0:16:31.320 door closes, something doesn't work out, don't sit around in 0:16:31.320 --> 0:16:32.960 self pity, thinking poor old me. 0:16:33.840 --> 0:16:34.040 Now. 0:16:34.080 --> 0:16:36.920 We may have a reason to feel sorry for ourselves, 0:16:37.240 --> 0:16:38.440 but we don't have a right. 0:16:38.880 --> 0:16:41.840 God is still on the throne. He still has a plan. 0:16:42.400 --> 0:16:45.240 You would not be alive if God didn't have something 0:16:45.280 --> 0:16:49.360 great in your future. God knew every disappointment we would 0:16:49.400 --> 0:16:53.240 go through. He knew every closed door, every person that 0:16:53.240 --> 0:16:56.200 would do us wrong. None of that is a surprise 0:16:56.320 --> 0:16:59.520 to God. The good news is God has it all 0:16:59.560 --> 0:17:02.840 figured out. He had the solution before you even had 0:17:02.840 --> 0:17:05.960 the problem. If something didn't work out the way you 0:17:06.040 --> 0:17:09.080 had it planned, let it go and get ready for 0:17:09.119 --> 0:17:11.679 the new thing God's about to do. I read the 0:17:11.720 --> 0:17:15.199 story about a lady by the name of Mary Bethune. 0:17:15.240 --> 0:17:18.400 She was the youngest of seventeen children. She was born 0:17:18.440 --> 0:17:21.840 in South Carolina back in the late eighteen hundreds. 0:17:22.080 --> 0:17:24.080 Her parents were slaves, and. 0:17:24.040 --> 0:17:26.679 In spite of all the odds being against her, she 0:17:26.840 --> 0:17:29.280 was able to get a good education and even go 0:17:29.359 --> 0:17:32.359 to college. From the time she was a little girl, 0:17:32.880 --> 0:17:35.800 she had a desire to go to Africa one day 0:17:36.000 --> 0:17:36.960 and teach children. 0:17:37.560 --> 0:17:39.520 She had this dream year after year. 0:17:39.720 --> 0:17:42.640 She just knew one day she would be teaching those students, 0:17:43.359 --> 0:17:46.400 and she got close to graduating from college. She sent 0:17:46.440 --> 0:17:50.840 her application in to a well known missions organization. She 0:17:51.000 --> 0:17:54.840 was a straight a student, had an impeccable reputation. You 0:17:54.840 --> 0:17:58.360 couldn't meet a finer young woman. Week after week went 0:17:58.400 --> 0:18:01.200 by and she was waiting, hope and pray and believing 0:18:01.240 --> 0:18:04.280 that she would get accepted. But one day she got 0:18:04.280 --> 0:18:07.200 the word back that she didn't want to hear. For 0:18:07.200 --> 0:18:10.840 some reason, she had been turned down. She was devastated. 0:18:11.320 --> 0:18:14.280 She told how it was like something died on the 0:18:14.280 --> 0:18:17.520 inside that day. That's what she had always wanted to 0:18:17.560 --> 0:18:21.600 do with her life. But remember, when one door closes, 0:18:21.920 --> 0:18:24.439 if you will stay in faith, God will open up 0:18:24.480 --> 0:18:28.440 another door. Instead of sitting around thinking about how bad 0:18:28.520 --> 0:18:31.639 life had treated her and what didn't work out, she 0:18:31.760 --> 0:18:34.600 put on a new attitude. She said, if I can't 0:18:34.640 --> 0:18:37.600 teach the students over there, then I'll teach the students here. 0:18:38.480 --> 0:18:42.080 She decided to start her own school. She didn't have 0:18:42.520 --> 0:18:45.360 any money, no building, no equipment. 0:18:45.640 --> 0:18:47.720 But where there's a will, there's a way. 0:18:48.400 --> 0:18:52.399 She found cardboard boxes and used them as desk. She 0:18:52.440 --> 0:18:55.159 would get red berries and drain the juice out of 0:18:55.200 --> 0:18:58.280 them so her students could use that as ink in 0:18:58.320 --> 0:19:01.680 their pens. The way they raise money for their books 0:19:01.920 --> 0:19:05.640 is every week she and the students would haul thousands 0:19:05.640 --> 0:19:08.120 of pounds of garbage down to the local dock. 0:19:09.000 --> 0:19:10.120 Several years went by. 0:19:10.680 --> 0:19:13.920 A college nearby noticed what was going on and asked 0:19:13.960 --> 0:19:17.240 them to join forces with them. It became known as 0:19:17.280 --> 0:19:21.159 the Cookman Bethune College. She went on to become the 0:19:21.200 --> 0:19:25.439 first African American woman to be a college president. In 0:19:25.560 --> 0:19:30.119 nineteen thirty two, President Franklin Roosevelt appointed her as an 0:19:30.160 --> 0:19:34.520 advisor to his cabinet, making her the first woman African 0:19:34.560 --> 0:19:36.400 American presidential adviser. 0:19:36.480 --> 0:19:38.080 Ever. What am I saying? 0:19:38.920 --> 0:19:41.600 If things don't work out the way you had hoped, 0:19:42.040 --> 0:19:45.840 don't sit around all defeated. Dream a new dream. God 0:19:45.880 --> 0:19:49.040 is still in control. He would not have allowed the 0:19:49.160 --> 0:19:52.320 door to close unless he had something better in store. 0:19:53.200 --> 0:19:56.760 Life may not be fair, but know this, God is fair. 0:19:58.000 --> 0:20:01.080 Nothing you've been through has to keep you from your destiny. 0:20:01.680 --> 0:20:03.760 If you didn't get the job you wanted, go apply 0:20:03.800 --> 0:20:07.119 for another job. If you can't teach the students overseas, 0:20:07.320 --> 0:20:11.080 teach the students here. Put on a new attitude. God 0:20:11.200 --> 0:20:13.840 has you in the palm of his hand. He has 0:20:13.920 --> 0:20:17.760 already planned out your days for good. He holds victory 0:20:17.800 --> 0:20:21.320 in your future. Some of you today you're not really living. 0:20:21.359 --> 0:20:24.560 You're just existing. You got to stir up the dreams 0:20:24.600 --> 0:20:28.000 that have been pressed down. The scripture says in Isaiah 0:20:28.080 --> 0:20:32.480 sixty verse one, a rise and shine, for your light 0:20:32.800 --> 0:20:36.159 has come. It doesn't say that your light will come. 0:20:36.480 --> 0:20:40.159 It says your light has come. If you knew the 0:20:40.160 --> 0:20:42.840 great things God had in your future, you wouldn't go 0:20:42.880 --> 0:20:44.360 around discouraged negative. 0:20:44.640 --> 0:20:45.880 You'd go out each day. 0:20:45.840 --> 0:20:48.240 With a smile on your face and a spring in 0:20:48.280 --> 0:20:52.399 your step. I think about my father as a young man, 0:20:52.520 --> 0:20:56.760 he sold popcorn in the Isis Theater in Fort Worth, Texas. 0:20:57.200 --> 0:21:01.040 He was raised in extreme poverty. The age of seventeen, 0:21:01.160 --> 0:21:04.320 my father gave his life to the Lord. God called 0:21:04.400 --> 0:21:07.919 him to preach. He started ministering in the prisons, the 0:21:07.920 --> 0:21:10.200 rest homes, on the streets. 0:21:09.800 --> 0:21:10.960 Anywhere he could find. 0:21:11.880 --> 0:21:16.040 My dad was married at an early age, but unfortunately 0:21:16.520 --> 0:21:20.800 that marriage didn't work out. His dreams were shattered. He 0:21:20.880 --> 0:21:23.840 left the ministry. He didn't think that he would ever 0:21:24.040 --> 0:21:28.320 preach again. For several years, he went into the insurance business. 0:21:28.960 --> 0:21:31.359 He was very good, he excelled at what he did, 0:21:31.640 --> 0:21:33.600 but down in here he knew. 0:21:33.359 --> 0:21:35.440 The call of God was still on his life. 0:21:36.119 --> 0:21:39.480 He didn't feel worthy, He didn't feel like he deserved it. 0:21:39.800 --> 0:21:43.600 Everybody was telling him, you'll washed up, you'll never be 0:21:43.640 --> 0:21:46.080 in ministry again, you'll never have a family. 0:21:46.800 --> 0:21:47.320 It's funny. 0:21:47.359 --> 0:21:50.440 Sometimes when we're down, people try to keep us down. 0:21:50.920 --> 0:21:53.159 But this is what I love about God. He lifts 0:21:53.200 --> 0:21:56.640 the falling, He gives hope to the hopeless. His mercy 0:21:56.800 --> 0:22:00.760 is bigger than any mistake we could ever make. I 0:22:00.800 --> 0:22:05.679 don't believe that divorce is God's best, but unfortunately sometimes 0:22:05.680 --> 0:22:09.600 it's happens now. I'm not for divorce, but I am 0:22:09.920 --> 0:22:13.560 for divorced people. Your life does not have to stop 0:22:13.960 --> 0:22:17.160 just because a relationship came to an end. God still 0:22:17.200 --> 0:22:21.840 has a plan. A rise and shine. That means, get 0:22:21.920 --> 0:22:26.199 up from that discouragement, shake off that self pity, receive 0:22:26.320 --> 0:22:27.679 mercy for your mistakes. 0:22:28.200 --> 0:22:28.720 A rise. 0:22:28.800 --> 0:22:31.600 That's the first thing. And then number two, you've got 0:22:31.600 --> 0:22:35.480 to shine. Put a smile on your face, get your 0:22:35.600 --> 0:22:40.240 enthusiasm back, start laughing again, start enjoy in your life. 0:22:40.640 --> 0:22:44.040 Take up some new hobbies, find some new friends, buy 0:22:44.119 --> 0:22:46.840 some new clothes. It's not enough to just a rise. 0:22:47.040 --> 0:22:49.840 You've got to start shining. That is an act of 0:22:49.880 --> 0:22:54.399 your faith. When you do that, you're announcing not only 0:22:54.440 --> 0:22:58.000 to yourself, not only to your friends, but you're saying 0:22:58.040 --> 0:23:01.520 to the enemy. I'm not gonna of my life in regrets. 0:23:02.000 --> 0:23:04.840 I'm not gonna go around beating myself up over the 0:23:04.880 --> 0:23:08.439 mistakes I've made. I know God has another plan, So 0:23:08.560 --> 0:23:12.400 I'm gonna arise and I'm gonna shine. What you're really 0:23:12.440 --> 0:23:14.399 saying is I'm back and I'm bad. 0:23:17.160 --> 0:23:21.760 My father, my dad, had all these thoughts telling him. 0:23:21.840 --> 0:23:25.159 You'll never be in ministry, you'll never have a family again. 0:23:25.840 --> 0:23:29.800 But God is a god of restoration. He will take 0:23:29.880 --> 0:23:32.320 what was meant for your harm and use it to 0:23:32.359 --> 0:23:36.320 your advantage. Several years later, my father left the insurance 0:23:36.400 --> 0:23:39.760 business and he got back into the ministry. Things begin 0:23:39.880 --> 0:23:43.200 to flourish. One day he met my mother. They fell 0:23:43.240 --> 0:23:47.480 in love, got married. God blessed them with four average 0:23:47.600 --> 0:23:54.800 children and one exceptional child, who I didn't say, as me, 0:23:54.920 --> 0:23:58.880 you're gonna hurt Paul's feelings down here. But I think 0:23:58.920 --> 0:24:03.119 about how we wouldn't be here today if my father 0:24:03.240 --> 0:24:05.680 had not stayed open to a plan different than his, 0:24:06.400 --> 0:24:08.800 if he had not been willing to dream a new dream, 0:24:09.240 --> 0:24:11.679 he'd have never met my mother. I probably would have 0:24:11.720 --> 0:24:15.280 never been born. There may not be a lakewood in life. 0:24:15.359 --> 0:24:18.560 There will always be voices telling us you blew it, 0:24:19.040 --> 0:24:20.520 you had your chance, it's over. 0:24:20.680 --> 0:24:23.520 Just settle where you are. Don't believe those lies. 0:24:23.720 --> 0:24:26.320 If you get knocked down, get back up again. It's 0:24:26.359 --> 0:24:29.960 not over until God says it's over. My father went 0:24:30.359 --> 0:24:33.719 from being a popcorn salesman to a minister, to an 0:24:33.760 --> 0:24:37.520 insurance salesman, back to being a minister. That tells me 0:24:38.000 --> 0:24:41.240 God knows how to connect the dots. God knows how 0:24:41.280 --> 0:24:44.760 to get you to your final destination. Some of you today, 0:24:44.760 --> 0:24:47.800 you may have been through a disappointment. Something didn't work out. 0:24:48.320 --> 0:24:50.840 Maybe it was even your fault. But God is saying 0:24:51.000 --> 0:24:54.440 I've still got a plan. Dream a new dream, get 0:24:54.480 --> 0:24:58.359 your fireback, get your enthusiasm back. Just because it didn't 0:24:58.400 --> 0:25:01.679 happen one way doesn't mean it's over. When life deals 0:25:01.720 --> 0:25:04.880 you a lemon, God can make lemonade. He can take 0:25:04.920 --> 0:25:07.359 your mess and turn it into your message. It's time 0:25:07.440 --> 0:25:15.399 to arise and shine. In the early nineteen hundreds, farmers 0:25:15.560 --> 0:25:19.159 back in Alabama were facing a major challenge. A tiny 0:25:19.200 --> 0:25:22.720 little insect called the bull weavil had migrated from South 0:25:22.760 --> 0:25:26.399 America and it was quickly destroying their crops. They tried 0:25:26.440 --> 0:25:28.640 everything they could do to get rid of it. They 0:25:28.680 --> 0:25:32.159 exterminated with all kinds of pesticides. 0:25:31.280 --> 0:25:33.200 And they even came up with new. 0:25:33.040 --> 0:25:37.639 Formulas they'd never used before, still to no avail. Eventually, 0:25:37.720 --> 0:25:40.200 all they could do is sit back and watch their 0:25:40.280 --> 0:25:43.919 crops and their livelihood be eaten away. They were so 0:25:44.040 --> 0:25:47.360 discouraged it looked like it was over. But one day, 0:25:47.400 --> 0:25:49.960 as they were sitting around kind of defeated, kind of down, 0:25:50.520 --> 0:25:51.480 a man came up. 0:25:51.400 --> 0:25:52.160 With an idea. 0:25:52.760 --> 0:25:56.840 He said, instead of planning our normal cotton crops that 0:25:56.920 --> 0:25:59.960 we know won't survive, why don't we try something new. 0:26:00.480 --> 0:26:04.359 Let's plant peanuts. They looked at him like a cow 0:26:04.520 --> 0:26:05.359 at a new gate. 0:26:05.880 --> 0:26:06.919 They said, peanuts. 0:26:06.960 --> 0:26:09.439 We could never make a living off of peanuts. He 0:26:09.520 --> 0:26:13.320 eventually talked him into it. What they discovered was the 0:26:13.400 --> 0:26:17.240 bowl weavils did not like the taste of peanuts. Those 0:26:17.320 --> 0:26:20.600 crops took off and flourished like nothing they had ever 0:26:20.640 --> 0:26:24.320 seen before. They made more money in several months than 0:26:24.320 --> 0:26:27.880 they normally made in a whole year. In fact, even 0:26:27.920 --> 0:26:30.520 when the bowl weavils left, they didn't go back to 0:26:30.560 --> 0:26:31.520 their cotton crops. 0:26:31.520 --> 0:26:32.840 They stuck with peanuts. 0:26:33.320 --> 0:26:36.480 They went on to produce more peanuts than any country 0:26:36.520 --> 0:26:37.119 in the world. 0:26:37.720 --> 0:26:38.960 Friends, God has a plan. 0:26:39.720 --> 0:26:42.359 You may have some bowl weavils bothering you right now, 0:26:42.640 --> 0:26:43.480 but don't worry. 0:26:43.720 --> 0:26:45.440 There are some peanuts in your future. 0:26:48.240 --> 0:26:52.040 What you may think is a setback is really a 0:26:52.160 --> 0:26:55.760 set up for a greater comeback. I love the fact 0:26:55.840 --> 0:27:00.000 that the bowl weavils did not like the taste of peanuts. 0:27:00.440 --> 0:27:04.320 That tells me God always has something in my future 0:27:04.600 --> 0:27:07.880 that the enemy cannot touch. He always has some way 0:27:07.920 --> 0:27:10.440 to prosper me, some way to heal us, some way 0:27:10.440 --> 0:27:13.399 to restore us, some way to bring our dreams to pass. 0:27:14.000 --> 0:27:16.960 And even when it looks difficult, even when things don't 0:27:16.960 --> 0:27:20.399 work out, just remind yourself these bowl weavils may be 0:27:20.520 --> 0:27:23.560 causing me some problems, they may not even go away, 0:27:23.840 --> 0:27:25.480 But really I'm not worried about it. 0:27:25.680 --> 0:27:26.520 I know they. 0:27:26.400 --> 0:27:29.760 Can't touch my harvest. God has given them a distaste 0:27:29.880 --> 0:27:33.280 for what belongs to me. That person at the office 0:27:33.320 --> 0:27:36.040 that always gets on your nerves annoys you next time 0:27:36.040 --> 0:27:38.040 you see him, just think to yourself, he just a 0:27:38.080 --> 0:27:43.879 bowl weavil. He can't touch my harvest. This shows us 0:27:44.040 --> 0:27:47.399 how God's plan is better than our plan. Had it 0:27:47.480 --> 0:27:50.040 not been for the bowl weavils, the farmers would have 0:27:50.080 --> 0:27:53.160 never tried peanuts. They would have just kept producing their 0:27:53.200 --> 0:27:56.880 normal crops over and over all, the while missing out 0:27:56.960 --> 0:27:59.920 on the abundance that should have been theirs. When you fay, 0:28:00.000 --> 0:28:04.119 that's an adversity, that set back, that disappointment, you don't know 0:28:04.359 --> 0:28:07.640 where it's taken you. You've heard the saying when you're 0:28:07.680 --> 0:28:09.960 down to nothing, God is up to something. 0:28:10.600 --> 0:28:12.840 When it looks like your crops are being eaten up. 0:28:13.119 --> 0:28:15.679 God is not on the throne saying, oh man, what 0:28:15.760 --> 0:28:20.000 am I gonna do? Who let the bow weavils out? No, 0:28:20.200 --> 0:28:23.520 God is in complete control. He has a way even 0:28:23.520 --> 0:28:24.720 when we don't see away. 0:28:25.560 --> 0:28:26.200 Here's the key. 0:28:26.760 --> 0:28:29.800 Had those farmers not been open for something new and 0:28:30.080 --> 0:28:33.840 been willing to reinvent themselves, they could still be sitting 0:28:33.880 --> 0:28:36.760 around saying, just my love too bad for me. A 0:28:36.840 --> 0:28:40.760 little insect ruined my future. No, nothing has to destroy 0:28:40.840 --> 0:28:44.440 your future. When one dream dies dreaming of the dream, 0:28:44.800 --> 0:28:47.320 try something else. If you hold your rod up and 0:28:47.360 --> 0:28:50.760 the rivers don't part, start walking toward the waters, God 0:28:50.800 --> 0:28:53.800 has another plan. Be willing to get out of your 0:28:53.840 --> 0:28:57.560 comfort zone. Keep a freshness in your life. Don't be 0:28:57.680 --> 0:29:00.760 satisfied to live off of past victories. God has new 0:29:00.840 --> 0:29:02.880 victories out in front of you. 0:29:02.880 --> 0:29:03.720 You may have been. 0:29:03.560 --> 0:29:07.320 Through some disappointments, but it's time to arise and shine. 0:29:07.640 --> 0:29:09.680 It's time to dream a new dream. It's time to 0:29:09.720 --> 0:29:13.400 believe again. If you'll put on this new attitude and 0:29:13.480 --> 0:29:16.200 stay open to new opportunities, then when the bowl we 0:29:16.320 --> 0:29:17.040 will show up. 0:29:17.320 --> 0:29:18.840 God will lead you to the peanuts. 0:29:19.160 --> 0:29:21.480 When your application gets turned down, God will give you 0:29:21.480 --> 0:29:24.000 a better job. Or like my father, when it looks 0:29:24.040 --> 0:29:26.960 like your darkest hour, God will turn it around, restore you, 0:29:27.280 --> 0:29:28.960 and bring you out to your brightest hour. 0:29:29.000 --> 0:29:31.800 Amen.
