I promise you it will make. 0:02:18.520 --> 0:02:19.640 You feel right at home. 0:02:19.840 --> 0:02:21.720 But we're so glad to have you with us today. 0:02:22.240 --> 0:02:24.320 I like to get started each week with something kind 0:02:24.320 --> 0:02:27.080 of fun. In one day up in heaven, God told 0:02:27.080 --> 0:02:28.400 the men, I want you to. 0:02:28.280 --> 0:02:29.400 Form two lines. 0:02:29.960 --> 0:02:32.400 One line is for all the men who were the 0:02:32.440 --> 0:02:35.400 head of your house, and the other line is for 0:02:35.480 --> 0:02:38.040 the men who let the woman be the head of 0:02:38.080 --> 0:02:40.639 the house. And the line where the woman ran the 0:02:40.680 --> 0:02:44.160 house was one hundred miles long. The other line only 0:02:44.200 --> 0:02:46.919 had one person in it, and God said, men, look 0:02:46.919 --> 0:02:49.560 at you. I'm ashamed. I made you to be the head, 0:02:49.560 --> 0:02:52.320 but only one man stood up. To make me proud. 0:02:52.840 --> 0:02:55.000 God turned to him and said, son, tell him, how 0:02:55.040 --> 0:02:57.400 did you manage to be the only one in this line. 0:02:57.760 --> 0:03:00.400 The man looked confused and said, I don't know. Told 0:03:00.400 --> 0:03:01.320 me to stand here. 0:03:02.960 --> 0:03:05.519 All right, hold up your bible. Say it like you 0:03:05.639 --> 0:03:07.520 mean it. This is my Bible. 0:03:08.000 --> 0:03:10.560 I am what it says, I am, I have what 0:03:10.639 --> 0:03:13.200 it says I have, I can do what it says 0:03:13.240 --> 0:03:16.120 I can do. Today I will be talked the word 0:03:16.160 --> 0:03:20.720 of God. I boldly confess my mind is alert, my 0:03:20.919 --> 0:03:25.560 heart is receptive. I will never be the same. In Jesus' name, 0:03:25.960 --> 0:03:30.799 God bless you. We've been talking about embracing the place 0:03:30.840 --> 0:03:34.519 where we are and not fighting against everything that doesn't 0:03:34.520 --> 0:03:39.160 go our way. We cannot pray away every uncomfortable situation. 0:03:40.040 --> 0:03:43.080 God uses the difficulties to do a work in us. 0:03:43.880 --> 0:03:46.120 And some of the things that are uncomfortable in your 0:03:46.160 --> 0:03:49.680 life right now, if God were to remove them, you 0:03:49.720 --> 0:03:53.280 wouldn't be prepared for the promotion that he has in store. 0:03:54.040 --> 0:03:57.280 God is using that to develop your character and to 0:03:57.320 --> 0:04:01.240 get you prepared for greater things. Any time we're going 0:04:01.280 --> 0:04:03.800 to be promoted, any time we're going to go to 0:04:03.840 --> 0:04:05.440 a new level, there's. 0:04:05.240 --> 0:04:07.280 Going to be a time of testing. 0:04:08.000 --> 0:04:12.240 You don't get promoted without first passing the test. And 0:04:12.280 --> 0:04:16.040 so if you're in a difficult situation today, things are 0:04:16.040 --> 0:04:18.799 not happening as fast as you would like. You're working 0:04:18.839 --> 0:04:21.279 around people that get on your nerves, or you're giving 0:04:21.360 --> 0:04:25.240 but not seeing any increase. You have to recognize that's 0:04:25.279 --> 0:04:28.080 a test of your faith, and the way to pass 0:04:28.120 --> 0:04:30.480 the test is to keep a good attitude. 0:04:31.240 --> 0:04:34.240 Forgive your enemies, be kind. 0:04:34.040 --> 0:04:37.400 When you feel like chewing somebody out, be patient even 0:04:37.440 --> 0:04:38.680 though it's taken longer than. 0:04:38.640 --> 0:04:39.159 You would like. 0:04:39.760 --> 0:04:43.440 God uses the difficulties to make us and to mold us. 0:04:43.839 --> 0:04:46.640 And it always helps me to remember that God is 0:04:46.680 --> 0:04:50.360 on the throne and he can remove anything anytime he 0:04:50.400 --> 0:04:50.880 wants to. 0:04:51.160 --> 0:04:55.160 He's God. It's up to me to simply trust him enough. 0:04:55.120 --> 0:04:57.520 To know that at the right time, when I'm ready, 0:04:57.839 --> 0:05:01.839 he will change things. Bible talks about how God is 0:05:01.880 --> 0:05:05.080 the potter and we are the clay, and most of 0:05:05.160 --> 0:05:07.839 us we start off as an old, hard lump of clay. 0:05:08.279 --> 0:05:11.840 We're impatient, selfish, self centered, we want our way all 0:05:11.880 --> 0:05:14.599 the time. That's just the nature that we're born with. 0:05:15.160 --> 0:05:17.479 And it's up to each one of us to work 0:05:17.520 --> 0:05:21.400 with God and let him refine us, let him get 0:05:21.400 --> 0:05:25.880 these impurities out. We have to stay pliable and moldable. 0:05:26.640 --> 0:05:30.160 And as odd as this may sound, trials are beneficial. 0:05:30.880 --> 0:05:34.920 They bring delight impurities in our character. They bring delight 0:05:35.000 --> 0:05:38.200 things that would normally stay hidden unless a little pressure 0:05:38.320 --> 0:05:41.760 was applied. And we'll really never know what we're like 0:05:42.040 --> 0:05:44.720 until we go through a time of testing. You can't 0:05:44.760 --> 0:05:47.800 develop patience without being in a situation where you have 0:05:47.839 --> 0:05:51.359 to wait. You'll never really learn to trust God without 0:05:51.400 --> 0:05:54.760 being in a situation that you don't quite understand. Now, 0:05:54.800 --> 0:05:58.400 I'm challenging us today to stay on the Potter's will, 0:05:59.200 --> 0:06:01.839 and when things delight that you know are not right, 0:06:02.560 --> 0:06:05.640 be willing to change, be willing to work with God 0:06:06.000 --> 0:06:08.640 so you can come up to a higher level. I 0:06:08.640 --> 0:06:11.560 think about with the Compact Center. It took us over 0:06:11.600 --> 0:06:14.840 three and a half years to acquire this facility. We 0:06:14.880 --> 0:06:17.600 had to pray, we had to trust, We had to 0:06:17.680 --> 0:06:20.719 keep a good attitude day in and day out. The 0:06:20.800 --> 0:06:23.960 interesting thing is God could have given us this building 0:06:24.000 --> 0:06:26.760 the first week, after all, he's God, or he could 0:06:26.760 --> 0:06:27.720 have at least given. 0:06:27.480 --> 0:06:28.560 It to us after a year. 0:06:28.920 --> 0:06:31.039 Men. That would have been so much easier, would have 0:06:31.080 --> 0:06:33.359 saved me a lot of time and energy. But no, 0:06:33.760 --> 0:06:36.520 God was doing a work in me. I was learning 0:06:36.560 --> 0:06:40.120 to trust Him in a greater way. My character was 0:06:40.160 --> 0:06:45.080 being developed. Some things you can't get overnight, Some things 0:06:45.160 --> 0:06:48.839 take time. Now I was developing a trust and a 0:06:48.920 --> 0:06:53.800 confidence that only comes from going through some things. We 0:06:53.839 --> 0:06:56.400 can say all day long. God, I trust you, but 0:06:56.480 --> 0:06:58.880 really talk is cheap. God's going to give us a 0:06:58.920 --> 0:07:02.080 test to see what we're really made of. And understand, 0:07:02.520 --> 0:07:06.200 God knows our future. He knows exactly what you're going 0:07:06.279 --> 0:07:08.919 to need in the days up ahead. And the scripture 0:07:08.960 --> 0:07:12.840 says in Exodus thirteen that God didn't lead the children 0:07:12.880 --> 0:07:16.560 of Israel the easiest way to the promised Land. He 0:07:16.680 --> 0:07:20.200 took them the long way on purpose because they were 0:07:20.240 --> 0:07:24.520 not prepared for war. And in the same way, sometimes 0:07:24.640 --> 0:07:26.920 God's going to take us the long way on purpose 0:07:27.120 --> 0:07:29.760 so he can do a work in us. That simply 0:07:29.800 --> 0:07:33.520 means God's not going to answer every prayer overnight. He's 0:07:33.560 --> 0:07:36.800 not going to remove every difficult person from our lives. 0:07:37.400 --> 0:07:39.920 If he did, we wouldn't be prepared for what he 0:07:40.000 --> 0:07:43.040 had in store. And so I'm asking you today to 0:07:43.160 --> 0:07:47.040 quit complaining about how long something is taken. Quit being 0:07:47.080 --> 0:07:51.760 discouraged because you're in an uncomfortable situation. Really you should 0:07:51.760 --> 0:07:55.760 be encouraged, or at least you should be challenged, knowing 0:07:55.840 --> 0:07:58.280 that that's a test of your faith. And when you 0:07:58.400 --> 0:08:01.360 pass that test, promotion is on its way. You're going 0:08:01.440 --> 0:08:03.920 to see a new level of God's blessings in favor. 0:08:04.280 --> 0:08:05.080 It's kind of funny. 0:08:05.360 --> 0:08:08.560 After two years, we won the final city council vote 0:08:08.560 --> 0:08:10.840 that we needed and that gave us this facility for 0:08:10.880 --> 0:08:13.800 the next sixty years. And I was so relieved and 0:08:13.880 --> 0:08:17.280 so excited. I took a week off with my family 0:08:17.320 --> 0:08:20.120 and we went away just to celebrate the victory. 0:08:20.560 --> 0:08:21.400 And I'll never forget. 0:08:21.480 --> 0:08:24.280 I was sitting on the beach and my brother in law, Keaven, 0:08:24.360 --> 0:08:26.680 called and he said, Joel, I hate to tell you this, 0:08:27.200 --> 0:08:30.000 but we just got word that a company has filed 0:08:30.040 --> 0:08:32.640 a lawsuit to try to keep us from moving into 0:08:32.640 --> 0:08:35.560 the Compact Center. And do you know it was another 0:08:35.720 --> 0:08:39.280 year and a half before we finally settled that situation. 0:08:39.920 --> 0:08:42.760 And I had to keep reminding myself even though I 0:08:42.800 --> 0:08:46.200 don't like this, even though I'm uncomfortable, I know God 0:08:46.280 --> 0:08:48.520 is still in control and I'm growing. 0:08:48.880 --> 0:08:52.560 I'm getting stronger. God's getting me prepared for greater things. 0:08:53.520 --> 0:08:56.520 And once you go through a few things like that, 0:08:57.120 --> 0:09:00.280 you've got something on the inside that nobody can take away. 0:09:00.600 --> 0:09:04.040 You've got a trust and a confidence that only comes 0:09:04.040 --> 0:09:07.520 from experience. I don't believe that i'd be standing here 0:09:07.559 --> 0:09:10.600 today if I had not allowed God to do the 0:09:10.640 --> 0:09:14.920 work in me. If I'd gotten frustrated impatient God, I 0:09:14.920 --> 0:09:18.480 don't understand it, then God couldn't trust me with this position. 0:09:18.960 --> 0:09:22.000 He has to develop our character first. We have to 0:09:22.040 --> 0:09:26.680 be willing to go through some things. Let God purify you, 0:09:27.200 --> 0:09:30.880 let him refine you. When these things come to light 0:09:31.200 --> 0:09:38.120 that you know are not right. Unforgiveness, bad attitudes, quick temper, self, pity, impatience, 0:09:38.760 --> 0:09:41.680 just deal with it, say God, I know I'm in 0:09:41.679 --> 0:09:43.800 a hurry, and I can see that you're not, so 0:09:43.920 --> 0:09:47.280 I'm just gonna relax and trust you. Oh God, these 0:09:47.320 --> 0:09:49.640 people didn't do me right, and I don't feel like it, 0:09:49.880 --> 0:09:51.760 but I'm going to take the high road and forgive 0:09:51.800 --> 0:09:56.199 them anyway. See, quit fighting against everything in your life. 0:09:56.320 --> 0:09:59.800 God is still in control, and if you allow him, 0:10:00.080 --> 0:10:03.120 He'll use every single thing that comes against you to 0:10:03.160 --> 0:10:06.160 do a work in you. The scripture says there in 0:10:06.240 --> 0:10:10.240 one Peter four, verse twelve, don't be amazed at the 0:10:10.280 --> 0:10:16.720 fiery trial that is taking place to test your quality. 0:10:16.880 --> 0:10:20.959 Notice the trial is to test your character. It's a 0:10:21.120 --> 0:10:25.800 test of your quality. Nothing brings out the impurities in 0:10:25.840 --> 0:10:29.559 our character any quicker than difficulty. We can all be 0:10:29.720 --> 0:10:32.240 kind to people when they're being kind to us. But 0:10:32.280 --> 0:10:34.840 what about when somebody jumps down your throat for no 0:10:34.920 --> 0:10:37.880 reason at all, Human nature wants to give them a 0:10:37.920 --> 0:10:38.800 piece of our mind. 0:10:39.360 --> 0:10:40.240 Now that's a test. 0:10:40.840 --> 0:10:43.760 When you feel yourself getting angry, when you feel yourself 0:10:43.800 --> 0:10:45.959 wanting to be rude back to them, why don't you 0:10:46.000 --> 0:10:49.880 dig a little deeper, stay calm, keep your cool. When 0:10:49.880 --> 0:10:52.839 you do that, you just pass the test in your 0:10:52.880 --> 0:10:56.679 one step closer to promotion. And I found we're going 0:10:56.760 --> 0:10:59.440 to be tested in the areas that we struggle with 0:10:59.480 --> 0:11:02.080 the most, in the areas where we have the greatest need. 0:11:03.000 --> 0:11:06.440 For instance, if you have a problem with jealousy, God's 0:11:06.480 --> 0:11:08.800 going to make sure that you see everybody around you 0:11:08.920 --> 0:11:11.559 that has more than you do. He'll make sure your 0:11:11.600 --> 0:11:13.760 long lost cousin calls you to tell you how they 0:11:13.840 --> 0:11:17.320 just won the lottery. God will put you right there 0:11:17.400 --> 0:11:19.240 in the middle of the fire to see what you're 0:11:19.240 --> 0:11:22.199 going to do. If you have a problem with being patient, 0:11:22.640 --> 0:11:25.120 don't be surprised if you get behind every slow driver 0:11:25.240 --> 0:11:28.400 in the city of Houston. You'll find every freeway that 0:11:28.480 --> 0:11:32.520 has construction, every traffic light that's messed up. And understand, 0:11:32.880 --> 0:11:35.680 it's not a coincidence that you're ending up there. 0:11:35.800 --> 0:11:37.720 That's God trying to do a work in you. 0:11:38.360 --> 0:11:41.360 And if you will change, then the circumstances will change. 0:11:42.040 --> 0:11:44.600 A couple of Friday nights ago, Victoria and I were 0:11:44.600 --> 0:11:47.120 supposed to be somewhere at seven point thirty, and we 0:11:47.280 --> 0:11:49.480 left with just enough time to make it. 0:11:49.960 --> 0:11:50.960 I was in a big hurry. 0:11:50.960 --> 0:11:52.800 I didn't want to be late, and I knew if 0:11:52.840 --> 0:11:55.360 I could catch every light just right, we could still 0:11:55.400 --> 0:11:58.000 be there on time. But wouldn't you know it, I 0:11:58.040 --> 0:12:01.520 got caught by this train, and I told Victoria I 0:12:01.559 --> 0:12:04.480 have never seen a train here at this time of 0:12:04.559 --> 0:12:07.120 day in all of my life, and I was just 0:12:07.200 --> 0:12:09.599 certain that was the enemy trying to delay me. And 0:12:09.640 --> 0:12:13.720 so under my breath I was praying, rebuking, resisting, binding, loosen. 0:12:14.360 --> 0:12:16.720 It seemed like the more I prayed, the worse it got. 0:12:17.520 --> 0:12:19.800 And we just sat there and sat there and sat there. 0:12:19.840 --> 0:12:23.400 I could feel myself trying to get agitated and upset, 0:12:23.480 --> 0:12:26.040 and did my best not to show it. Rolled the 0:12:26.080 --> 0:12:31.120 window down, smiled, started humming, but I noticed to me 0:12:31.320 --> 0:12:34.560 it looked like the train was slowing down. I said, hey, Victoria, 0:12:34.760 --> 0:12:37.280 is it my imagination or is this train getting slower. 0:12:37.760 --> 0:12:40.320 She said, I think you're right, it's getting slower, And 0:12:40.400 --> 0:12:43.079 sure enough, it got slower and slower. Finally it came 0:12:43.120 --> 0:12:47.120 to a stop. By then, it was taking everything in 0:12:47.200 --> 0:12:50.840 me to not get upset, to not start complaining, And 0:12:51.000 --> 0:12:53.040 just when I thought it couldn't get any worse, that 0:12:53.080 --> 0:12:54.400 train started backing up. 0:12:56.679 --> 0:13:00.640 I said, I rebuke you, devil Victoria. 0:13:00.640 --> 0:13:02.559 At this rate, we're not gonna be at church Sunday morning. 0:13:03.640 --> 0:13:04.560 They kept backing up. 0:13:04.559 --> 0:13:07.200 A few minutes later it reversed and I could finally 0:13:07.280 --> 0:13:09.360 see the end of it, and I was so relieved. 0:13:09.400 --> 0:13:11.840 I was so anxious to go. But about that time 0:13:11.880 --> 0:13:13.240 I heard this loud horn. 0:13:13.720 --> 0:13:15.200 I thought, what in the world is that? They don't 0:13:15.280 --> 0:13:16.680 usually blow the horn at the end. 0:13:17.040 --> 0:13:19.240 And just as I could see the caboos, do you 0:13:19.320 --> 0:13:22.160 know another train came on the other side of the track. 0:13:23.320 --> 0:13:25.360 I didn't even know there were two sets the tracks there. 0:13:26.320 --> 0:13:28.760 Finally I decided to just lighten up. I said, God, 0:13:28.800 --> 0:13:32.360 I'm not gonna get upset. You're still in control, and 0:13:32.480 --> 0:13:34.560 I must need this or you wouldn't have me here. 0:13:35.360 --> 0:13:36.079 We have to. 0:13:36.080 --> 0:13:40.360 Realize situations like that are simply tested. They bring the 0:13:40.440 --> 0:13:43.439 light areas that we need to work in. You can't 0:13:43.480 --> 0:13:47.040 get patience by just praying for it. You get patience 0:13:47.080 --> 0:13:47.920 by having to wait. 0:13:48.600 --> 0:13:50.760 You laugh at me. But God's gonna tempt you and 0:13:50.800 --> 0:13:53.160 test you in the same areas where you have problems. 0:13:53.880 --> 0:13:56.520 If you're a touchy person, maybe you're always getting your 0:13:56.520 --> 0:13:59.760 feelings hurt. Well, God's gonna put you in situations where 0:13:59.760 --> 0:14:00.280 people are. 0:14:00.240 --> 0:14:01.920 Gonna rub you the wrong way. 0:14:02.000 --> 0:14:04.680 He is not gonna protect you from every offense just 0:14:04.760 --> 0:14:05.720 because you're touching. 0:14:06.240 --> 0:14:08.640 Now I found God will do just the opposite. 0:14:08.720 --> 0:14:12.400 He will keep working with you and giving you opportunities 0:14:12.440 --> 0:14:15.400 to come up higher. See, God loves you too much 0:14:15.480 --> 0:14:19.240 to just leave you alone. He knows your potential and 0:14:19.280 --> 0:14:21.600 so he's gonna do his best to keep you. 0:14:21.600 --> 0:14:22.600 On the potter's will. 0:14:23.240 --> 0:14:26.000 If you have the problem with your temper, God's gonna 0:14:26.000 --> 0:14:28.960 put you in situations where you're testing. The next time 0:14:29.000 --> 0:14:31.960 you're tempted to get upset, you need to remind yourself, hey, 0:14:32.160 --> 0:14:35.040 this is only a test. This is God giving me 0:14:35.120 --> 0:14:37.920 an opportunity to come up higher. And if you'll just 0:14:38.000 --> 0:14:41.360 dig your heels in and exercise a little self control, 0:14:42.000 --> 0:14:44.400 that you will pass that test. And the good news 0:14:44.520 --> 0:14:46.960 is the next test will be a little easier and 0:14:47.000 --> 0:14:48.480 the next one a little easier. 0:14:48.680 --> 0:14:49.400 What's happening. 0:14:49.720 --> 0:14:54.080 God's refining you, He's making you, molding you. But some 0:14:54.160 --> 0:14:57.040 of you lose your joy over the smallest things. You 0:14:57.080 --> 0:14:59.680 can't find your car keys in the morning, somebody parked 0:14:59.680 --> 0:15:02.040 in your ark in space, or you had to work 0:15:02.120 --> 0:15:05.000 late one light. It just ruins the whole day. And 0:15:05.080 --> 0:15:08.120 you're always praying that everything would go away. But if 0:15:08.160 --> 0:15:10.960 you're not careful, you'll miss the very reason that God 0:15:10.960 --> 0:15:13.720 allowed you to be in that situation. You need to 0:15:13.760 --> 0:15:17.120 look inside, examine your heart and see if there are 0:15:17.160 --> 0:15:19.640 issues that you need to deal with. And it's good 0:15:19.640 --> 0:15:22.400 in situations like that to just say, God, help me 0:15:22.720 --> 0:15:25.080 to learn what you want me to learn in this situation. 0:15:25.960 --> 0:15:28.920 That's don't be like the children of Israel. And because 0:15:29.000 --> 0:15:32.720 they wouldn't quit complaining, because they had a sour attitude, 0:15:32.880 --> 0:15:35.640 they kept going around the same mountain year after year 0:15:35.680 --> 0:15:39.400 after year. It took them forty years to make an 0:15:39.400 --> 0:15:40.680 eleven day journey. 0:15:41.440 --> 0:15:43.120 A lot of times we hear that and we think, man, 0:15:43.120 --> 0:15:44.360 they were some stubborn people. 0:15:44.680 --> 0:15:47.360 They were some hard headed people. But the fact is, 0:15:47.880 --> 0:15:50.040 and I say it with a smile. Some of us 0:15:50.080 --> 0:15:52.840 have been going around the same mountain ten years, twenty years, 0:15:52.880 --> 0:15:59.680 thirty years, and by that I mean bad attitudes, negative, critical, impatient, unforgiveness. 0:16:00.160 --> 0:16:02.280 No, it's time for us to go up higher. 0:16:02.560 --> 0:16:05.280 Let's start passing those tests so that we can enter 0:16:05.360 --> 0:16:08.840 into our promised land. And really, we should not be 0:16:09.000 --> 0:16:11.200 dealing with the same issues that we dealt with five 0:16:11.280 --> 0:16:13.920 years ago. We should have a better attitude than we 0:16:14.000 --> 0:16:17.720 had last year. We should be more loving, more patient, 0:16:17.840 --> 0:16:18.440 more kind. 0:16:18.840 --> 0:16:20.560 We shouldn't get up at set as easily. 0:16:21.120 --> 0:16:23.960 And if you're still getting upset every time things don't 0:16:23.960 --> 0:16:26.600 go your way, it's time to grow up. If you're 0:16:26.600 --> 0:16:28.760 still dealing with things that you dealt with five and 0:16:28.880 --> 0:16:32.880 ten years ago, please make a decision that's starting today. 0:16:33.200 --> 0:16:37.200 You're going to make some changes. Recognize what's happening. That's 0:16:37.280 --> 0:16:40.560 God trying to promote you. And I believe that every 0:16:40.560 --> 0:16:42.520 one of us can come up higher in some area. 0:16:43.040 --> 0:16:45.760 And I'm asking us to stay on the Potter's wheel 0:16:46.000 --> 0:16:48.440 so that we can become all that God has created 0:16:48.520 --> 0:16:52.400 us to be. I see too many people that get stuck. Well, Joel, 0:16:52.440 --> 0:16:55.200 I'm just a negative person. I can't help it. I'm 0:16:55.240 --> 0:16:57.920 just critical, I'm just impatient, got these addictions. 0:16:57.960 --> 0:16:58.680 I can't help it. 0:16:58.960 --> 0:17:02.560 No, really, you can help it because God has promised 0:17:02.920 --> 0:17:05.399 he will not allow more to come on you than 0:17:05.440 --> 0:17:09.359 you can handle. He knows just how much pressure to apply, 0:17:09.880 --> 0:17:12.600 He knows just how much you can take. The scripture 0:17:12.640 --> 0:17:16.760 goes on to say with every test, with every temptation, 0:17:17.320 --> 0:17:20.679 God will always make a way of escape. That simply 0:17:20.720 --> 0:17:23.920 means God will always give you the strength to overcome. 0:17:24.880 --> 0:17:27.240 So the next time you're tempted to get upset, you've 0:17:27.240 --> 0:17:28.960 got to just remind yourself. 0:17:28.560 --> 0:17:30.919 No, I've got the power to keep my cool. 0:17:31.640 --> 0:17:34.119 Next time you're tempted to complain, Nope, I've got the 0:17:34.160 --> 0:17:35.480 power to keep my mouth shut. 0:17:36.200 --> 0:17:36.960 Next time you're. 0:17:36.880 --> 0:17:39.560 Tempted to be impatient, Nope, I've got the power to 0:17:39.600 --> 0:17:42.480 wait here with a good attitude. See, you got to 0:17:42.560 --> 0:17:44.879 quit telling yourself you can't do it. You can do 0:17:45.000 --> 0:17:47.639 all things through Christ. You have the power of the 0:17:47.720 --> 0:17:50.760 most tie God on the inside of you. Why don't 0:17:50.800 --> 0:17:53.920 you dig your heels in and start passing those tests. 0:17:54.200 --> 0:17:55.199 I think about David. 0:17:55.560 --> 0:17:59.200 Samuel anointed him to be the next king of Israel, 0:17:59.480 --> 0:18:02.160 but he has to go through a time of testing 0:18:02.320 --> 0:18:05.280 before any of that came to pass. King Saul was 0:18:05.359 --> 0:18:08.800 so jealous of him he tried to kill him. Saul 0:18:08.920 --> 0:18:12.760 chased him month after month after month, through the wilderness, 0:18:13.000 --> 0:18:16.399 through the caves, through the mountains, and one time David 0:18:16.440 --> 0:18:18.399 had a chance to put an end to it all. 0:18:18.720 --> 0:18:20.120 He saw Saul and all of his. 0:18:20.119 --> 0:18:23.440 Men over there sleeping, and he could have easily killed them. 0:18:23.800 --> 0:18:24.960 But David wouldn't do it. 0:18:25.560 --> 0:18:28.840 He knew he had to stay under that authority with 0:18:28.920 --> 0:18:32.960 a good attitude and let God deliver him in his timetable, 0:18:33.200 --> 0:18:36.160 in his own way. Why did it take so long? 0:18:36.720 --> 0:18:39.480 God was doing a work in David. God was getting 0:18:39.520 --> 0:18:42.840 him prepared, and David could have easily failed the test. 0:18:43.200 --> 0:18:44.920 He could have said, God just said, I was gonna 0:18:44.960 --> 0:18:47.480 be king. Why is this guy giving me a hard time? No, 0:18:47.640 --> 0:18:50.199 he just kept doing the right thing, even though the 0:18:50.240 --> 0:18:53.520 wrong thing happened to him. And sure enough, after he 0:18:53.640 --> 0:18:57.359 passed the test, God promoted him and he became, of course, 0:18:57.400 --> 0:19:00.159 one of the great kings in all of Israel. And 0:19:00.160 --> 0:19:02.840 you may have somebody in your life right now that's 0:19:02.880 --> 0:19:06.080 not treating you right, somebody that gets on your nerves, 0:19:06.080 --> 0:19:09.639 somebody that's doing unfair things. You're bound and determined to 0:19:09.640 --> 0:19:11.200 get rid of them. Man, I don't have to put 0:19:11.280 --> 0:19:14.800 up with this. But no, you can't just necessarily pray 0:19:14.840 --> 0:19:19.280 that away. Understand that is a test of your faith. 0:19:19.960 --> 0:19:23.919 And God uses people like that as send paper to 0:19:24.000 --> 0:19:27.280 rub the rough edges off of you. Sometimes we have 0:19:27.359 --> 0:19:29.560 to have a saw in our life to get the 0:19:29.600 --> 0:19:33.080 saw out of us. We'll never learn to love our 0:19:33.240 --> 0:19:36.240 enemies without having somebody in our life that's hard to 0:19:36.240 --> 0:19:39.479 get along with. It may be a boss that's not 0:19:39.520 --> 0:19:43.720 treating you right, he's condescending. He asks you to do 0:19:43.800 --> 0:19:46.560 things that you shouldn't have to do. Well, you need 0:19:46.600 --> 0:19:49.800 to view that as a test, and really you should 0:19:49.840 --> 0:19:53.000 do it with a good attitude. Not necessarily for him, 0:19:53.280 --> 0:19:55.760 but do it under God. Do it so you can 0:19:55.840 --> 0:19:58.720 rise up higher. And instead of getting mad at him 0:19:58.720 --> 0:20:00.840 and living all upset, you need to just look at 0:20:00.920 --> 0:20:02.880 him and smile and say, you know what God's really 0:20:03.000 --> 0:20:04.040 using you in my life. 0:20:04.760 --> 0:20:05.800 You don't have to tell him. 0:20:05.640 --> 0:20:09.000 What for, but you know it's probably not a good 0:20:09.000 --> 0:20:09.720 idea to say you. 0:20:09.640 --> 0:20:10.719 Know what God's using you? 0:20:10.720 --> 0:20:15.120 You old grouse you thing, But God will deliberately put 0:20:15.200 --> 0:20:17.760 us in situations that we don't like, so that these 0:20:17.800 --> 0:20:21.600 impurities can come out and hopefully we will deal with them. 0:20:22.280 --> 0:20:24.520 I told you the biggest thing I struggle with is 0:20:24.560 --> 0:20:27.880 being in a hurry, not being patient enough, not wanting 0:20:27.920 --> 0:20:32.439 to wait. It's interesting, the more impatient I am, the 0:20:32.440 --> 0:20:35.440 more situations I find myself where I have to wait around. 0:20:36.000 --> 0:20:37.359 If I'm in a hurry to get out of the 0:20:37.359 --> 0:20:40.840 grocery store, inevitably I'm going to get in the line 0:20:40.880 --> 0:20:44.280 with the slowest clerk. First day on the job, person 0:20:44.359 --> 0:20:46.160 in front of me has twenty three items that don't 0:20:46.160 --> 0:20:49.480 have a price tag on. It seems like the more 0:20:49.560 --> 0:20:52.360 in a hurry I get, the more impatient I am, 0:20:52.560 --> 0:20:55.119 the longer it takes Victoria to get dressed in the morning. 0:20:56.440 --> 0:20:58.440 She doesn't even know it, but God's using her. And 0:21:00.160 --> 0:21:01.960 now that you know it, don't do it on purpose. 0:21:03.240 --> 0:21:03.800 But a lot of. 0:21:03.760 --> 0:21:05.960 Times we think, man, that's just an attack of the enemy. 0:21:06.000 --> 0:21:07.920 I don't have to put up with that. No, that's 0:21:07.960 --> 0:21:09.119 not an attack of the enemy. 0:21:09.359 --> 0:21:13.920 That's God attacking my problem of impatience. That's God trying 0:21:13.960 --> 0:21:15.920 to do a work in me so that. 0:21:15.880 --> 0:21:17.040 I can come up higher. 0:21:17.720 --> 0:21:20.879 And I found that if I will change. Then my 0:21:21.000 --> 0:21:24.880 circumstances will change. But we have to recognize what's happening. 0:21:25.240 --> 0:21:28.679 We're on the potter's wheel. God is making us and 0:21:28.720 --> 0:21:32.280 molding us. He'll spin us around and around, and maybe 0:21:32.320 --> 0:21:34.880 he comes across a lump of unforgiveness. 0:21:35.320 --> 0:21:37.280 He'll stop and work with it and try to get 0:21:37.280 --> 0:21:37.760 that out. 0:21:38.400 --> 0:21:40.080 The way he does it is he'll put us in 0:21:40.119 --> 0:21:42.760 a situation where somebody offends us. 0:21:43.119 --> 0:21:45.080 Then God will step back to see what we're going 0:21:45.119 --> 0:21:45.359 to do. 0:21:46.000 --> 0:21:48.400 If we forgive and just let it go and keep 0:21:48.400 --> 0:21:51.600 a good attitude, then we pass the test and we're 0:21:51.640 --> 0:21:54.640 one step closer to promotion. God will put us back 0:21:54.680 --> 0:21:56.800 on the wheel and spin us around a little more, 0:21:56.840 --> 0:22:00.280 and maybe he comes across a lump of anger, and 0:22:00.359 --> 0:22:03.639 so he'll put us in a situation to test our temper. 0:22:04.200 --> 0:22:07.200 Maybe you find yourself in a crowded parking lot. You're 0:22:07.200 --> 0:22:10.000 patiently waiting for this car to back out so you can. 0:22:09.920 --> 0:22:10.600 Get the space. 0:22:10.800 --> 0:22:13.840 You've clearly got your blinker on. You're doing your best 0:22:13.880 --> 0:22:16.680 to keep a good attitude. But the lady is taken forever. 0:22:17.080 --> 0:22:19.560 She can't find her car keys. She's got to buckle 0:22:19.600 --> 0:22:22.480 in three children, put her groceries in the trunk, check 0:22:22.520 --> 0:22:26.240 her tire pressure, change her own, pressing up her makeup. 0:22:27.000 --> 0:22:28.160 Five minutes later, she. 0:22:28.080 --> 0:22:30.840 Decides to back out, But just as she does, somebody 0:22:31.000 --> 0:22:34.280 beats you to that parking space. You're so aggravated you 0:22:34.320 --> 0:22:35.919 want to give them a piece of your mind. 0:22:36.720 --> 0:22:37.840 Well that's a test. 0:22:38.160 --> 0:22:40.280 Are you going to pass it and do what the 0:22:40.280 --> 0:22:43.439 Bible says, be angry and sin not? Or you're just 0:22:43.480 --> 0:22:45.560 gonna do what you feel like doing and go over 0:22:45.600 --> 0:22:47.320 there and let the air out of their tires. 0:22:48.960 --> 0:22:51.919 Well, you say, Joel, that's hard. Yeah. God's leading you 0:22:52.000 --> 0:22:55.280 the hard way on purpose so he can get you prepared. 0:22:55.800 --> 0:22:59.080 He's got great things in store for your life, but 0:22:59.119 --> 0:23:02.000 he first has to get these impurities out. And the 0:23:02.040 --> 0:23:05.480 way he does this is by putting us through these tests. 0:23:05.880 --> 0:23:09.240 The scripture says, our faith is being tried in the 0:23:09.280 --> 0:23:14.560 fire of affliction, just as fire tests and refines gold. 0:23:15.359 --> 0:23:16.240 Some of you right. 0:23:16.080 --> 0:23:17.960 Now you're in that refiner's fire. 0:23:18.440 --> 0:23:21.679 You're in a difficult situation. You don't like it, you 0:23:21.720 --> 0:23:22.760 don't think it's fair. 0:23:23.080 --> 0:23:24.320 But let me just encourage you. 0:23:24.680 --> 0:23:27.919 If you will keep the right attitude and keep pressing forward, 0:23:28.160 --> 0:23:32.720 you're going to come out of that, refined, purified, stronger, 0:23:33.160 --> 0:23:36.040 better off than you were before. I heard about this 0:23:36.119 --> 0:23:39.439 couple that loved to go shopping for antiques. One day, 0:23:39.480 --> 0:23:41.880 they were in this small country store and they looked 0:23:41.920 --> 0:23:44.359 up on the shelf and they saw the most beautiful 0:23:44.440 --> 0:23:47.280 teacup that they had ever seen. They just fell in 0:23:47.320 --> 0:23:49.199 love with it. They knew they had to buy it. 0:23:49.640 --> 0:23:53.200 And as they stood there admiring that beautiful piece of work, 0:23:53.600 --> 0:23:56.800 the teacup began to talk. He said, you know what, 0:23:57.320 --> 0:24:00.600 I didn't always look like this. There was a time 0:24:00.720 --> 0:24:03.600 when nobody wanted me. There was a time when I 0:24:03.640 --> 0:24:06.640 wasn't attractive at all. You see, I was just an 0:24:06.720 --> 0:24:10.760 old lump of clay. But one day this potter came 0:24:10.760 --> 0:24:14.480 along and he began to pat me and formed me 0:24:14.760 --> 0:24:17.920 and mold me. And I said, hey, what are you doing. 0:24:18.400 --> 0:24:23.000 That hurts I'm uncomfortable. Leave me alone, And the potter 0:24:23.520 --> 0:24:27.520 simply smiled and said, not yet. Then he put me 0:24:27.560 --> 0:24:30.400 on this wheel and he began to spin me around 0:24:30.480 --> 0:24:32.280 and around, and I'm telling. 0:24:32.040 --> 0:24:33.160 You, I didn't like it. 0:24:33.520 --> 0:24:37.040 I got all dizzy, But eventually I took on a 0:24:37.040 --> 0:24:40.919 different shape. He formed me into this teacup, and I 0:24:41.000 --> 0:24:43.240 thought that he was through with me, but all of 0:24:43.280 --> 0:24:46.919 a sudden he put me into a furnace and it 0:24:47.040 --> 0:24:49.439 was so hot in there I couldn't stand it. 0:24:49.520 --> 0:24:50.760 I thought I was going to die. 0:24:51.320 --> 0:24:53.240 And when he came to check on me, he looked 0:24:53.280 --> 0:24:56.000 through the glass window of the furnace and he had 0:24:56.000 --> 0:24:58.800 a certain sparkle in his eyes, and I screamed out, hey, 0:24:58.880 --> 0:25:01.359 let me out of here, and he just smiled and 0:25:01.400 --> 0:25:05.000 said not yet. Finally, after a long time, he took 0:25:05.080 --> 0:25:07.240 me out and put me on the shelf. I thought, 0:25:07.240 --> 0:25:10.000 thank god, it's finally over. Now I can get back 0:25:10.000 --> 0:25:11.280 to being my normal self. 0:25:11.880 --> 0:25:13.040 But then the potter. 0:25:12.840 --> 0:25:15.800 Came back over and he began to paint me with 0:25:15.920 --> 0:25:17.119 this sticky paint. 0:25:17.640 --> 0:25:19.000 I didn't like it. 0:25:19.000 --> 0:25:20.080 It smelled terrible. 0:25:20.119 --> 0:25:22.080 I thought it was gonna choke and I told him 0:25:22.119 --> 0:25:25.280 to leave me alone, but again he said not yet. 0:25:26.240 --> 0:25:29.000 Then he put me into a second oven that was 0:25:29.080 --> 0:25:30.240 twice as hot. 0:25:30.040 --> 0:25:31.600 As the first one. 0:25:31.680 --> 0:25:33.520 This time I thought for sure it was all over. 0:25:33.600 --> 0:25:35.080 This time, I thought it was the end of me. 0:25:35.520 --> 0:25:37.760 When he came to check on me, I said, listen, 0:25:37.800 --> 0:25:41.320 I'm serious, I can't take this anymore. But once again 0:25:41.480 --> 0:25:43.160 he just smiled and said not yet. 0:25:44.119 --> 0:25:45.600 Finally he took me out. 0:25:46.040 --> 0:25:48.720 A couple of days later, after I'd cooled off, he 0:25:48.800 --> 0:25:49.600 came by and. 0:25:49.680 --> 0:25:51.080 Handed me a mirror. 0:25:51.880 --> 0:25:54.960 And when I looked in that mirror, I couldn't believe 0:25:55.119 --> 0:25:59.000 how beautiful I was. I couldn't believe how much I 0:25:59.040 --> 0:26:02.920 had changed. I didn't look anything like that old, hard 0:26:02.960 --> 0:26:06.119 lump of clay that I started out to be. Now 0:26:06.160 --> 0:26:10.360 I'm this beautiful teacup, and everybody wants me. But always 0:26:10.400 --> 0:26:14.199 remember there was a time when nobody wanted me, but 0:26:14.320 --> 0:26:18.240 now all because of the Potter, I'm valuable. He made 0:26:18.280 --> 0:26:22.119 something special out of my life. And really that's the 0:26:22.160 --> 0:26:24.520 way God works in every one of our lives. 0:26:27.720 --> 0:26:33.119 He is changing us little by little from glory to glory. 0:26:33.240 --> 0:26:36.000 But on the way to some of these glories, there's 0:26:36.040 --> 0:26:37.320 going to be some suffering that we. 0:26:37.359 --> 0:26:38.159 Have to endure. 0:26:38.560 --> 0:26:42.239 We may not like it, we may be uncomfortable. There 0:26:42.240 --> 0:26:44.960 are gonna be times we say, with that teacup, get 0:26:45.000 --> 0:26:47.080 me off of this Potters will God, I can't take 0:26:47.080 --> 0:26:49.800 it anymore. But you know what God's gonna do. He's 0:26:49.800 --> 0:26:54.639 gonna smile and say not yet. See, God knows your value, 0:26:54.680 --> 0:26:58.119 he knows what he's forming you into You may not 0:26:58.200 --> 0:27:00.239 be able to see it right now, but God can 0:27:00.280 --> 0:27:03.160 see it. You may look at your life and think, man, Joey, 0:27:03.560 --> 0:27:07.560 I've made so many mistakes. I'm so undisciplined, I'm impatient, 0:27:07.640 --> 0:27:08.840 I've got bad habits. 0:27:09.040 --> 0:27:11.520 But listen, God is never going to give up on you. 0:27:11.880 --> 0:27:14.720 He is a god of second chances. And if you 0:27:14.760 --> 0:27:16.080 will simply work. 0:27:15.840 --> 0:27:18.720 With God and allow him to get some of these 0:27:18.760 --> 0:27:21.800 impurities out, then he'll make more out of your life 0:27:22.040 --> 0:27:24.960 than you've ever even dreamed of. And so my challenge 0:27:24.960 --> 0:27:27.720 to you today is to stay on the Potter's will 0:27:28.160 --> 0:27:32.879 with a good attitude. Recognize the test is an opportunity 0:27:32.960 --> 0:27:36.240 to come up higher. God will use everything that comes 0:27:36.320 --> 0:27:39.000 into your life, every person that's hard to deal with, 0:27:39.600 --> 0:27:42.200 every traffic jam, every time you don't get your way, 0:27:42.880 --> 0:27:47.800 those are opportunities to be refined. Quit fighting everything, Quit 0:27:47.840 --> 0:27:51.560 losing your joy, quit losing your peace. God is purifying you. 0:27:51.920 --> 0:27:55.240 He's molding you into the image of Christ. And if 0:27:55.240 --> 0:27:58.280 you will just do your part and stay pliable, and 0:27:58.320 --> 0:28:01.320 when things come up, don't ignore it, be willing to change. 0:28:01.760 --> 0:28:04.120 If you do that, you won't be at the same 0:28:04.160 --> 0:28:06.199 place next year as you are right now. You'll have 0:28:06.240 --> 0:28:09.639 a better attitude, You'll be more patient, you'll be more loving, 0:28:09.680 --> 0:28:12.639 you'll be more kind. And as you continue to pass 0:28:12.720 --> 0:28:16.320 these tests, God promises that he will mold you into 0:28:16.359 --> 0:28:19.480 a vessel of honor and he'll use you for his 0:28:19.680 --> 0:28:21.040 very highest purposes. 0:28:21.080 --> 0:28:24.120 Amen.
