I believe God has amazing things in your future. 0:01:38.040 --> 0:01:48.640 I hope you enjoy this message. I want to enjoin 0:01:48.680 --> 0:01:51.680 you every one of us today that if you're waiting 0:01:51.760 --> 0:01:54.400 on a prayer to be answered, or maybe you're waiting 0:01:54.440 --> 0:01:56.600 for some things to change in your life and it 0:01:56.640 --> 0:02:00.320 hasn't happened for a long time and you're just waiting 0:02:00.440 --> 0:02:03.279 for things to change so you can move on with life. 0:02:04.040 --> 0:02:07.960 Want to encourage you to not let those things stop you. 0:02:08.520 --> 0:02:12.840 Don't get stuck in those areas of your life. God 0:02:12.919 --> 0:02:16.080 doesn't want you to ever get stuck. He wants you 0:02:16.160 --> 0:02:20.040 to live with enthusiasm. He wants you to live with joy. 0:02:20.240 --> 0:02:24.280 He wants you to live with expectancy of what He 0:02:24.320 --> 0:02:25.519 can do in your life. 0:02:26.440 --> 0:02:28.880 You see, sometimes. 0:02:28.240 --> 0:02:32.440 We're waiting on things to change. We're looking at everything 0:02:32.520 --> 0:02:37.280 around us, and we forget to look at our God. See, 0:02:37.320 --> 0:02:40.400 the Bible says we are to wait upon the Lord. 0:02:41.280 --> 0:02:43.720 We're not to wait for all of our prayers to 0:02:43.720 --> 0:02:47.320 be answered. We're not to wait for things to change 0:02:47.360 --> 0:02:52.680 before we can be happy. We're to wait expectantly on. 0:02:52.760 --> 0:02:56.120 The Lord, exciting with anticipation. 0:02:56.919 --> 0:03:00.280 God, I may be in a difficult season, but God, 0:03:00.320 --> 0:03:03.640 that doesn't stop you from working in my life. You see, 0:03:03.680 --> 0:03:07.560 with an excitement and a joy and a passion for life. 0:03:07.720 --> 0:03:09.280 That's how God wants us to live. 0:03:10.160 --> 0:03:13.919 You know, we sometimes we think that seems impossible. I 0:03:13.960 --> 0:03:19.360 can't be that happy all the time. Really, Victoria, the 0:03:19.360 --> 0:03:23.520 Bible says that there's a joy in you that Jesus 0:03:23.520 --> 0:03:25.560 gave you. He says, the joy that is in me 0:03:25.680 --> 0:03:29.440 I've given you. You have the ability to tap into 0:03:29.480 --> 0:03:31.440 the resources. 0:03:31.000 --> 0:03:33.160 That God has given you. 0:03:33.160 --> 0:03:36.440 You see, the Bible says that the righteous are to 0:03:36.480 --> 0:03:41.080 get brighter and brighter until the full day. We're to 0:03:41.320 --> 0:03:45.200 thrive like a green leaf. We're not supposed to wither. 0:03:45.680 --> 0:03:49.080 Our dreams and hopes are not supposed to wither. But 0:03:49.200 --> 0:03:55.080 we're supposed to thrive. We're supposed to shine brighter and brighter. 0:03:56.360 --> 0:03:59.360 You're not supposed to be dim some days, bright the others. 0:04:00.200 --> 0:04:05.320 You're supposed to be bright, shining. You're supposed to let 0:04:05.400 --> 0:04:10.320 the sun in the so in every single day so 0:04:10.360 --> 0:04:14.760 that you can be bright and shiny. I think that's 0:04:14.800 --> 0:04:18.480 a good question to ask ourselves periodically through the day. 0:04:18.920 --> 0:04:21.800 Am I shining? How do I feel dim? 0:04:22.720 --> 0:04:25.160 Is there a black cloud over me? Is there something 0:04:25.320 --> 0:04:28.320 trying to bring me down? Am I focus too much 0:04:28.400 --> 0:04:32.599 on a situation or change that needs to happen in 0:04:32.640 --> 0:04:36.039 my life that I'm not shining? Do I need to 0:04:36.120 --> 0:04:39.039 get my eyes off of this mountain and get my 0:04:39.120 --> 0:04:43.880 eyes on where the help can come from from the 0:04:44.160 --> 0:04:47.560 person who created all the mountains, who created the universe, 0:04:47.839 --> 0:04:52.880 and who can create whatever I need. Listen, where to 0:04:52.920 --> 0:04:56.479 be stars, where to let the sun in listen to 0:04:56.520 --> 0:04:59.800 what it says in Isaiah forty three, eighteen and nineteen. 0:05:00.000 --> 0:05:03.600 And this is what God spoke through the prophet, and 0:05:03.640 --> 0:05:09.200 he said, forget the former things, do not dwell on them. Behold, 0:05:09.680 --> 0:05:14.760 I am doing a new thing now. Now it springs up. 0:05:15.360 --> 0:05:18.560 Can you perceive it? I am making a way in 0:05:18.600 --> 0:05:23.600 the wilderness and streams in the wasteland. You see, there 0:05:23.680 --> 0:05:26.880 is a question that God is asking us in his 0:05:27.040 --> 0:05:30.560 promise to us. And what he is asking us is this, 0:05:31.360 --> 0:05:33.640 do you recognize. 0:05:33.000 --> 0:05:36.640 What I'm doing in your life? You see it. 0:05:36.600 --> 0:05:41.920 Says I am doing a new thing. God didn't say 0:05:41.960 --> 0:05:44.640 I'm going to do a new thing when I get ready, 0:05:46.000 --> 0:05:48.960 when you get straight in your life. He said, I 0:05:49.000 --> 0:05:54.800 am doing a new thing. It springs up now. 0:05:55.800 --> 0:05:58.480 See. God is saying, don't have faith when. 0:05:58.360 --> 0:06:01.320 The situation takes care of it, because I'm doing some 0:06:01.440 --> 0:06:07.200 new things right now, right now. But the thing is 0:06:07.200 --> 0:06:10.239 is that we have to precede it, and in doing 0:06:10.279 --> 0:06:12.599 so sometimes we need to change our perspective. 0:06:13.120 --> 0:06:18.120 We need to widen our lens, widen our focus. You 0:06:18.160 --> 0:06:19.880 see it says behold. 0:06:20.480 --> 0:06:27.880 Some translations say look see watch. That sounds like anticipation 0:06:28.080 --> 0:06:28.800 to me, doesn't it. 0:06:28.880 --> 0:06:32.040 You watch and see what the. 0:06:32.080 --> 0:06:36.839 Lord will do. See it is a new thing I'll 0:06:36.839 --> 0:06:40.640 never forget. Several years ago, I was going through the 0:06:40.640 --> 0:06:44.640 most difficult time in my life. There was my life 0:06:44.680 --> 0:06:49.120 seemed to hinge on this one major decision. To me, 0:06:49.800 --> 0:06:52.760 it felt like life and death to me. It was 0:06:52.800 --> 0:06:55.920 the most difficult thing that I can remember ever going through. 0:06:56.560 --> 0:06:59.520 I can remember what I wanted to do. I wanted 0:06:59.560 --> 0:07:03.160 to stay. I wanted to cry. I wanted to waller listen. 0:07:03.200 --> 0:07:07.719 I didn't want to shine. I wanted to dim things down. 0:07:10.000 --> 0:07:12.720 One day God spoke to me and he said, you 0:07:12.880 --> 0:07:18.880 cannot live like this. He said you were made and 0:07:19.040 --> 0:07:24.480 designed to shine. And he said you need to look 0:07:24.520 --> 0:07:29.920 out beyond this problem because I've got opportunities. I'm doing 0:07:29.960 --> 0:07:33.000 some new things in the middle of your mess. 0:07:33.280 --> 0:07:34.560 I am still working. 0:07:37.120 --> 0:07:39.640 Do you know? That challenge in my life went on 0:07:39.680 --> 0:07:43.520 for three long years? And can I tell you they 0:07:43.800 --> 0:07:46.239 seemed like long years. 0:07:47.800 --> 0:07:51.760 But during that time I shook it off. Every day 0:07:51.800 --> 0:07:53.600 I pushed through. Was it easy? 0:07:53.840 --> 0:07:54.000 No? 0:07:54.080 --> 0:07:59.000 But I had to change my focus and change my perspective. God, 0:07:59.160 --> 0:08:02.320 you don't want me to stay here. You've got new 0:08:02.400 --> 0:08:05.720 things for me. Do you know what was in those 0:08:05.760 --> 0:08:08.480 three years that I wrote my first book. I wrote 0:08:08.840 --> 0:08:11.840 a series of children's books, and at the end of 0:08:11.880 --> 0:08:16.440 those three years, God vindicated me and showed me things 0:08:16.440 --> 0:08:19.640 that I never knew were even inside of me. 0:08:20.680 --> 0:08:27.480 He gave me victory. But it was a change of perspective. 0:08:28.160 --> 0:08:31.240 It was deciding that I wasn't gonna wear a banner 0:08:31.600 --> 0:08:34.960 of defeat, but I was gonna wear a banner of 0:08:35.040 --> 0:08:38.680 victory over my head. See, I was changing what I 0:08:38.800 --> 0:08:43.640 was thinking. See God had opportunity for me. But as 0:08:43.679 --> 0:08:47.280 long as I sat and were waiting for things to 0:08:47.440 --> 0:08:50.160 change before I could get going, I would have missed 0:08:50.160 --> 0:08:54.320 out on all the new things, the new opportunities, the 0:08:54.360 --> 0:08:56.960 new things He wanted to show me and do on 0:08:57.000 --> 0:08:57.800 the inside of me. 0:08:58.480 --> 0:09:01.559 Can you imagine if I would have given in to defeat. 0:09:01.360 --> 0:09:04.640 And discouragement and said so focused on what I needed 0:09:04.679 --> 0:09:06.400 to happen, I would. 0:09:06.200 --> 0:09:07.240 Have lost three years. 0:09:08.240 --> 0:09:10.880 Do you know that I had exponential growth in my 0:09:11.040 --> 0:09:15.120 spiritual life those three years. You see, God turned it 0:09:15.200 --> 0:09:18.880 around because I was willing to put forth the effort. 0:09:19.120 --> 0:09:20.720 I was willing to shake it off. 0:09:20.880 --> 0:09:23.520 I was willing to say, no, this doesn't have to 0:09:23.640 --> 0:09:25.640 change before I can keep living. 0:09:26.240 --> 0:09:27.160 Absolutely not. 0:09:27.320 --> 0:09:31.600 I serve a great, big God, and He's gotten great 0:09:31.679 --> 0:09:33.360 things over the horizon for me. 0:09:36.080 --> 0:09:40.719 He is doing a new thing. It is in process. 0:09:41.440 --> 0:09:45.800 The printing presses have already been turned on. It is 0:09:45.920 --> 0:09:50.840 happening now in your life. I was speaking to a 0:09:51.000 --> 0:09:52.760 woman the other day, and I'd been praying with her 0:09:52.840 --> 0:09:55.360 for a while, and seemed like every time I prayed 0:09:55.360 --> 0:09:57.760 with her or talked to her, all I could see 0:09:57.840 --> 0:10:03.000 was this just rigid, still, just wanting something to happen 0:10:03.040 --> 0:10:05.400 in her life. And what she was wanting was this. 0:10:06.040 --> 0:10:09.680 Her husband had left and she was wanting reconciliation in 0:10:09.720 --> 0:10:12.840 her marriage, and that is what I could see was 0:10:13.080 --> 0:10:16.920 the main focus and thrust of her life. And I 0:10:17.000 --> 0:10:21.520 told her this, I said, listen, do not make plans 0:10:21.559 --> 0:10:26.280 according to this prayer being answered. Don't make plans around 0:10:26.440 --> 0:10:31.840 your life according to this happening. Don't stop living. 0:10:33.120 --> 0:10:33.560 You see. 0:10:33.600 --> 0:10:36.520 I believe that what she was trying to do was 0:10:36.559 --> 0:10:39.520 work it out in her own mind, figure out how 0:10:39.559 --> 0:10:41.400 it was going to happen, and as soon as he 0:10:41.480 --> 0:10:44.280 walked back in the door, then she could begin to live. 0:10:44.679 --> 0:10:47.680 Then her life could go on. But that is not 0:10:48.040 --> 0:10:51.600 what God intends for her. To do, because He's got 0:10:52.200 --> 0:10:57.680 new things springing up in her mess right now. I said, 0:10:57.720 --> 0:11:01.880 you're too valuable. You got too to offer, You got gifts, 0:11:02.000 --> 0:11:02.960 you got talents. 0:11:03.200 --> 0:11:04.960 You be the best you that you can be. 0:11:05.840 --> 0:11:11.240 You let God grow, you, learn, progress, take on new 0:11:11.280 --> 0:11:14.240 and exciting challenges that God's got out there for you. 0:11:14.880 --> 0:11:17.400 Be the best you can be. I didn't tell her 0:11:17.440 --> 0:11:20.080 to quit praying. I didn't tell her to quit believing. 0:11:20.600 --> 0:11:24.320 I said, don't get stuck. Don't get stuck. You keep living, 0:11:25.040 --> 0:11:27.920 and I believe that God has a word for somebody 0:11:27.960 --> 0:11:28.720 in here today. 0:11:29.240 --> 0:11:30.760 You need to keep on living. 0:11:31.760 --> 0:11:36.280 Don't make all your plans around that unanswered prayer. I 0:11:36.360 --> 0:11:41.920 got new things springing up even now. He didn't say 0:11:42.000 --> 0:11:45.800 there was not going to be wilderness. He didn't say 0:11:45.840 --> 0:11:47.920 there wasn't going to be some wasted things. You look 0:11:47.960 --> 0:11:49.360 at and think, why it is happened? 0:11:49.600 --> 0:11:51.840 Why me? This is a waste? What happened? 0:11:52.360 --> 0:11:55.160 He said, I can make a way in the wilderness, 0:11:55.920 --> 0:11:59.280 and I can refresh you in those times. 0:11:59.120 --> 0:12:00.480 That feel waste. 0:12:00.600 --> 0:12:02.839 I can bring out of you things you never knew 0:12:02.880 --> 0:12:06.800 were in you. I can do be impossible. As long 0:12:06.840 --> 0:12:10.640 as you widen your lens, change your perspective. 0:12:11.040 --> 0:12:12.480 Don't get narrow. 0:12:12.440 --> 0:12:16.040 And don't get so focused that the strains and stresses 0:12:16.080 --> 0:12:19.520 of life don't allow you to see beyond where you are. 0:12:20.640 --> 0:12:23.680 I was reading about eyes strain and icetrain is becoming 0:12:23.720 --> 0:12:25.840 more and more of a common problem because of all 0:12:25.840 --> 0:12:29.559 of our screens that we look at computers, iPads, telephones, 0:12:30.320 --> 0:12:32.760 and so. Eyestrain is when you know you can be 0:12:32.920 --> 0:12:36.200 focused on your computer and you're reading material for so 0:12:36.360 --> 0:12:39.000 long that you'll get dry eye, or or you'll get 0:12:39.000 --> 0:12:42.200 a headache, or sometimes you know you feel like it's blurry. 0:12:42.760 --> 0:12:43.680 That's eyestrain. 0:12:44.080 --> 0:12:45.839 And I was reading the article and it was giving 0:12:45.960 --> 0:12:50.080 tips to alleviate this eye strain, and it says, if 0:12:50.120 --> 0:12:52.199 you're in front of your computer, you're working on this, 0:12:52.440 --> 0:12:55.560 you know, really focused project which you should do is 0:12:55.640 --> 0:12:57.960 try to get up from your the area that you're 0:12:58.000 --> 0:13:01.040 at at least three times a day, and for ten 0:13:01.080 --> 0:13:03.959 minutes a day you should look out of a window. 0:13:04.040 --> 0:13:06.080 Maybe you need to walk outside if you don't have 0:13:06.120 --> 0:13:08.120 a wind in your office or the place you're working. 0:13:08.480 --> 0:13:12.080 And it said, do this, cast your eyes at a 0:13:12.200 --> 0:13:15.800 distance as far as you can see. 0:13:15.280 --> 0:13:18.920 And take on all the life around you. 0:13:19.440 --> 0:13:21.640 It says when you do that, when you cast your 0:13:21.640 --> 0:13:26.280 eyes and you begin to see light, trees, sky, clouds, 0:13:26.320 --> 0:13:29.320 you're watching all this stuff around you. What it does 0:13:29.840 --> 0:13:34.200 is it relaxes the lens of your eye. With eyestrains, 0:13:34.240 --> 0:13:39.160 your lens flattens out. And what this exercise does is 0:13:39.200 --> 0:13:41.120 it causes it to be more flexible. 0:13:41.679 --> 0:13:45.920 It causes it to relax. Now, I'm not giving you. 0:13:47.520 --> 0:13:50.079 A tip on eyestrain today, although if you have it, 0:13:50.120 --> 0:13:55.520 that might work. What I am saying is that same 0:13:56.640 --> 0:14:00.520 thing parallels our life. When we begin to focus so 0:14:00.720 --> 0:14:04.360 much on an area of our life that needs to change, 0:14:04.440 --> 0:14:07.280 or something we want to happen, or something we want 0:14:07.320 --> 0:14:10.640 to pray about, we get so focused in that we 0:14:11.400 --> 0:14:16.480 struggle and we bring strain upon ourselves. And God is saying, 0:14:16.600 --> 0:14:19.240 we've got to get good at getting up out of 0:14:19.280 --> 0:14:24.440 that situation and casting our eyes, pass the situation into 0:14:24.520 --> 0:14:27.560 the distance, so that we can widen our lens and 0:14:27.680 --> 0:14:30.040 take on the life that is out there that God 0:14:30.120 --> 0:14:31.000 gave us to live. 0:14:32.360 --> 0:14:33.240 He has got. 0:14:33.120 --> 0:14:37.280 More in store for you wherever you are, whatever you're 0:14:37.320 --> 0:14:39.840 going through, He's doing a new thing. 0:14:40.840 --> 0:14:43.640 Can you perceive it? 0:14:42.400 --> 0:14:45.000 It is springing up? 0:14:45.440 --> 0:14:47.760 But if you're not looking for it, you might not 0:14:48.000 --> 0:14:48.520 find it. 0:14:49.880 --> 0:14:53.520 Joel quoted the scripture from another passage in Isaiah, and 0:14:53.560 --> 0:14:56.320 it says God is longing to be good to those 0:14:56.320 --> 0:15:02.080 who are looking for his goodness, who are beholding the 0:15:02.200 --> 0:15:06.680 new things, watching to see with earnest expectations. 0:15:07.800 --> 0:15:10.840 Can I tell you where you are today? Is it 0:15:10.880 --> 0:15:12.000 where you're going to stay? 0:15:12.880 --> 0:15:16.920 But don't waste your precious life, your precious time when 0:15:17.000 --> 0:15:21.840 God is already put it into motion. There are new opportunities, 0:15:22.080 --> 0:15:25.040 there are new ways of doing things. There's new growth, 0:15:25.240 --> 0:15:29.200 there's new refreshing, there are springs springing. 0:15:28.760 --> 0:15:32.000 Up for you to have today.
