I like to start with something funny, and i heard
00:00:29.319 --> 00:00:30.720
Something funny, and i heard about this lady that died,
00:00:30.787 --> 00:00:32.755
About this lady that died, and she was at the pearly
00:00:32.822 --> 00:00:33.990
And she was at the pearly gates, and saint peter said,
00:00:34.057 --> 00:00:35.592
Gates, and saint peter said, "you can't come in yet.
00:00:35.658 --> 00:00:37.093
"you can't come in yet. you have to correctly spell a

You have to correctly spell a word."
00:00:38.695 --> 00:00:39.696
Word." she said, "what word?"
00:00:39.762 --> 00:00:40.964
She said, "what word?" he said, "any word," so she
00:00:41.030 --> 00:00:42.365
He said, "any word," so she spelled the word "love,"
00:00:42.432 --> 00:00:43.600
Spelled the word "love," l-o-v-e.
00:00:43.666 --> 00:00:44.934

Peter said, "welcome to heaven."
00:00:45.802 --> 00:00:46.803
Heaven." then peter asked her if she
00:00:46.870 --> 00:00:48.605
Then peter asked her if she would take his place for a
00:00:48.671 --> 00:00:49.973
Would take his place for a moment.
00:00:50.039 --> 00:00:51.040
Moment. he instructed her that if
00:00:51.107 --> 00:00:52.242
He instructed her that if anyone came just to follow
00:00:52.308 --> 00:00:53.409
Anyone came just to follow the same procedure.
00:00:53.476 --> 00:00:55.078
The same procedure. in a few moments, she sees
00:00:55.145 --> 00:00:56.646
In a few moments, she sees her ex-husband walking up.
00:00:56.713 --> 00:00:58.948
Her ex-husband walking up. she can't believe it.
00:00:59.015 --> 00:01:00.116
She can't believe it. she says, "what are you doing
00:01:00.183 --> 00:01:01.050
She says, "what are you doing here?"
00:01:01.117 --> 00:01:02.118
Here?" he said, "i just had a heart
00:01:02.185 --> 00:01:03.286
He said, "i just had a heart attack.
00:01:03.353 --> 00:01:04.087
Attack. did i really make it to

Heaven?" she said, "not yet.
00:01:05.788 --> 00:01:06.890
She said, "not yet. you have to correctly spell a
00:01:06.956 --> 00:01:08.158
You have to correctly spell a word."
00:01:08.224 --> 00:01:09.092
Word." he said, "what word?"
00:01:09.159 --> 00:01:10.527
He said, "what word?" there was a long pause, and
00:01:10.593 --> 00:01:11.761
There was a long pause, and she said, "czechoslovakia."
00:01:11.828 --> 00:01:14.964
She said, "czechoslovakia." say it like you mean it.
00:01:15.031 --> 00:01:16.399
Say it like you mean it. this is my bible.
00:01:16.466 --> 00:01:17.800
This is my bible. i am what it says i am.
00:01:17.867 --> 00:01:19.736
I am what it says i am. i have what it says i have.
00:01:19.802 --> 00:01:21.671
I have what it says i have. i can do what it says i can
00:01:21.738 --> 00:01:23.173
I can do what it says i can do.
00:01:23.239 --> 00:01:24.040
Do. today i will be taught the
00:01:24.107 --> 00:01:25.642
Today i will be taught the word of god.
00:01:25.708 --> 00:01:26.910
Word of god. i boldly confess my mind is
00:01:26.976 --> 00:01:29.045
I boldly confess my mind is alert.
00:01:29.112 --> 00:01:30.079
Alert. my heart is receptive.
00:01:30.146 --> 00:01:31.614
My heart is receptive. i will never be the same.
00:01:31.681 --> 00:01:33.449
I will never be the same. in jesus's name.
00:01:33.516 --> 00:01:35.485
In jesus's name. god bless you.
00:01:35.552 --> 00:01:37.320
God bless you. i want to talk to you today
00:01:37.387 --> 00:01:38.488
I want to talk to you today about "god is your source."
00:01:38.555 --> 00:01:41.324
About "god is your source." it's easy to look to people
00:01:41.391 --> 00:01:43.059
It's easy to look to people as our source or look to our
00:01:43.126 --> 00:01:44.894
As our source or look to our job as our source, and, yes,
00:01:44.961 --> 00:01:47.564
Job as our source, and, yes, god uses people, he uses
00:01:47.630 --> 00:01:49.232
God uses people, he uses jobs, he uses contracts, but
00:01:49.299 --> 00:01:51.768
Jobs, he uses contracts, but they are not the source.
00:01:51.834 --> 00:01:53.536
They are not the source. they are simply a resource
00:01:53.603 --> 00:01:55.638
They are simply a resource that the source uses and if
00:01:55.705 --> 00:01:58.041
That the source uses and if you're seeing other things
00:01:58.107 --> 00:02:00.109
You're seeing other things than god is your source the
00:02:00.176 --> 00:02:02.412
Than god is your source the problem is if something
00:02:02.478 --> 00:02:04.247
Problem is if something happens to them you'll think,
00:02:04.314 --> 00:02:06.416
Happens to them you'll think, "what am i going to do?
00:02:06.482 --> 00:02:07.684
"what am i going to do? the source has been cut off."
00:02:07.750 --> 00:02:09.619
The source has been cut off." no, the source is just fine.
00:02:09.686 --> 00:02:11.921
No, the source is just fine. god is still on the throne
00:02:11.988 --> 00:02:13.656
God is still on the throne and the scripture says that
00:02:13.723 --> 00:02:15.291
And the scripture says that "every good gift comes from
00:02:15.358 --> 00:02:17.293
"every good gift comes from our father in heaven above."
00:02:17.360 --> 00:02:20.163
Our father in heaven above." that good gift may come
00:02:20.230 --> 00:02:21.731
That good gift may come through people, but it came
00:02:21.798 --> 00:02:23.733
Through people, but it came from god.
00:02:23.800 --> 00:02:25.201
From god. your salary may come through
00:02:25.268 --> 00:02:27.237
Your salary may come through your company, but it came
00:02:27.303 --> 00:02:29.005
Your company, but it came from your heavenly father.
00:02:29.072 --> 00:02:31.174
From your heavenly father. he's the one that caused them
00:02:31.241 --> 00:02:32.642
He's the one that caused them to hire you.
00:02:32.709 --> 00:02:33.776
To hire you. he's the one that caused you
00:02:33.843 --> 00:02:34.844
He's the one that caused you to stand out.
00:02:34.911 --> 00:02:35.979
To stand out. he's using them as a
00:02:36.045 --> 00:02:37.247
He's using them as a resource.
00:02:37.313 --> 00:02:38.715
Resource. or that contract may come
00:02:38.781 --> 00:02:40.516
Or that contract may come through a friend, through a
00:02:40.583 --> 00:02:42.485
Through a friend, through a connection, but it came from
00:02:42.552 --> 00:02:44.320
Connection, but it came from god.
00:02:44.387 --> 00:02:45.722
God. that's why you don't have to
00:02:45.788 --> 00:02:47.290
That's why you don't have to play up to people, compromise
00:02:47.357 --> 00:02:49.659
Play up to people, compromise to get a good break.
00:02:49.726 --> 00:02:51.127
To get a good break. people are not your provider.
00:02:51.194 --> 00:02:53.162
People are not your provider. god is your provider.
00:02:53.229 --> 00:02:55.131
God is your provider. that job is simply the
00:02:55.198 --> 00:02:56.933
That job is simply the resource god chose to bless
00:02:57.000 --> 00:02:59.002
Resource god chose to bless you and if you don't
00:02:59.068 --> 00:03:00.536
You and if you don't understand this you can make
00:03:00.603 --> 00:03:02.472
Understand this you can make people your god.
00:03:02.538 --> 00:03:04.374
People your god. "well, if this supervisor
00:03:04.440 --> 00:03:05.475
"well, if this supervisor doesn't like me, if this
00:03:05.541 --> 00:03:07.176
Doesn't like me, if this contract doesn't last, if
00:03:07.243 --> 00:03:09.078
Contract doesn't last, if these clients are not good to
00:03:09.145 --> 00:03:10.246
These clients are not good to me, how am i going to make
00:03:10.313 --> 00:03:11.414
Me, how am i going to make it?"
00:03:11.481 --> 00:03:12.482
It?" take people off the throne.
00:03:12.548 --> 00:03:14.617
Take people off the throne. people are not your source.
00:03:14.684 --> 00:03:16.252
People are not your source. god is your source.
00:03:16.319 --> 00:03:18.488
God is your source. yes, it's good when people
00:03:18.554 --> 00:03:19.889
Yes, it's good when people are nice to you, it's nice
00:03:19.956 --> 00:03:21.724
Are nice to you, it's nice when they recognize your
00:03:21.791 --> 00:03:22.859
When they recognize your value, but don't become so
00:03:22.925 --> 00:03:24.961
Value, but don't become so dependent on them that you
00:03:25.028 --> 00:03:26.729
Dependent on them that you start seeing them as your
00:03:26.796 --> 00:03:28.164
Start seeing them as your provider.
00:03:28.231 --> 00:03:30.733
Provider. when peter didn't have money
00:03:30.800 --> 00:03:31.934
When peter didn't have money to pay his taxes, jesus told
00:03:32.001 --> 00:03:34.037
To pay his taxes, jesus told him to go to the lake and
00:03:34.103 --> 00:03:35.605
Him to go to the lake and catch a fish.
00:03:35.672 --> 00:03:37.073
Catch a fish. the first fish he caught had
00:03:37.140 --> 00:03:38.808
The first fish he caught had a gold coin in it, enough to
00:03:38.875 --> 00:03:40.610
A gold coin in it, enough to pay his taxes.
00:03:40.677 --> 00:03:42.278
Pay his taxes. god was showing us how he can
00:03:42.345 --> 00:03:44.347
God was showing us how he can use different resources.
00:03:44.414 --> 00:03:46.683
Use different resources. if a contract at work comes
00:03:46.749 --> 00:03:48.618
If a contract at work comes to an end, looks like you're
00:03:48.685 --> 00:03:50.320
To an end, looks like you're going to be set back, don't
00:03:50.386 --> 00:03:51.954
Going to be set back, don't be discouraged.
00:03:52.021 --> 00:03:53.289
Be discouraged. god has another fish.
00:03:53.356 --> 00:03:55.391
God has another fish. he has ways that we've never
00:03:55.458 --> 00:03:56.793
He has ways that we've never thought of and as long as
00:03:56.859 --> 00:03:58.494
Thought of and as long as you're keeping him first
00:03:58.561 --> 00:03:59.762
You're keeping him first place you are connected to a
00:03:59.829 --> 00:04:01.764
Place you are connected to a supply line that will never
00:04:01.831 --> 00:04:03.666
Supply line that will never run dry.
00:04:03.733 --> 00:04:05.001
Run dry. you are not at the mercy of
00:04:05.068 --> 00:04:06.569
You are not at the mercy of the economy or your boss or
00:04:06.636 --> 00:04:08.871
The economy or your boss or who likes you.
00:04:08.938 --> 00:04:09.939
Who likes you. god has all kinds of
00:04:10.006 --> 00:04:11.240
God has all kinds of resources he can use.
00:04:11.307 --> 00:04:13.509
Resources he can use. i talked to a man.
00:04:13.576 --> 00:04:15.211
I talked to a man. after 32 years the company he
00:04:15.278 --> 00:04:17.480
After 32 years the company he worked for was sold.
00:04:17.547 --> 00:04:19.449
Worked for was sold. he was without a job, and he
00:04:19.515 --> 00:04:21.117
He was without a job, and he was so discouraged.
00:04:21.184 --> 00:04:23.086
Was so discouraged. he never dreamed at his age
00:04:23.152 --> 00:04:24.087
He never dreamed at his age he would have to be starting
00:04:24.153 --> 00:04:25.488
He would have to be starting over.
00:04:25.555 --> 00:04:26.656
Over. i told him what i'm telling
00:04:26.723 --> 00:04:27.857
I told him what i'm telling you, "that job was simply the
00:04:27.924 --> 00:04:30.259
You, "that job was simply the resource that god chose to
00:04:30.326 --> 00:04:32.228
Resource that god chose to bless you.
00:04:32.295 --> 00:04:33.596
Bless you. it is not the source.
00:04:33.663 --> 00:04:34.897
It is not the source. the source is fine."
00:04:34.964 --> 00:04:36.999
The source is fine." i saw him about six months
00:04:37.066 --> 00:04:38.568
I saw him about six months later, and he was so happy.
00:04:38.634 --> 00:04:40.937
Later, and he was so happy. he said, "joel, i not only
00:04:41.003 --> 00:04:42.238
He said, "joel, i not only got another job.
00:04:42.305 --> 00:04:43.873
Got another job. i got my dream job," had
00:04:43.940 --> 00:04:46.008
I got my dream job," had better benefits, better
00:04:46.075 --> 00:04:47.410
Better benefits, better income, closer to his house.
00:04:47.477 --> 00:04:50.012
Income, closer to his house. when a door closes, you go
00:04:50.079 --> 00:04:52.014
When a door closes, you go through a setback, you have
00:04:52.081 --> 00:04:53.483
Through a setback, you have to remind yourself it's not
00:04:53.549 --> 00:04:55.485
To remind yourself it's not the resource blessing you.
00:04:55.551 --> 00:04:57.687
The resource blessing you. it's the source.
00:04:57.754 --> 00:04:59.322
It's the source. the scripture says you will
00:04:59.389 --> 00:05:01.090
The scripture says you will prosper even in the desert.
00:05:01.157 --> 00:05:03.793
Prosper even in the desert. your leaf will not wither.
00:05:03.860 --> 00:05:05.762
Your leaf will not wither. even in famine you will have
00:05:05.828 --> 00:05:07.296
Even in famine you will have more than enough.
00:05:07.363 --> 00:05:08.831
More than enough. it's showing us that even
00:05:08.898 --> 00:05:10.566
It's showing us that even though the circumstances may
00:05:10.633 --> 00:05:12.402
Though the circumstances may change the source never
00:05:12.468 --> 00:05:14.404
Change the source never changes.
00:05:14.470 --> 00:05:15.838
Changes. because you're connected to
00:05:15.905 --> 00:05:17.407
Because you're connected to that source you will be
00:05:17.473 --> 00:05:19.041
That source you will be blessed in the famine.
00:05:19.108 --> 00:05:21.077
Blessed in the famine. you will increase when others
00:05:21.144 --> 00:05:22.645
You will increase when others are decreasing.

Yes, this job gives me a paycheck, but you're the
00:05:31.187 --> 00:05:32.488
Paycheck, but you're the source of the income.
00:05:32.555 --> 00:05:34.590
Source of the income. yes, this company gave me a

Good position, but you're the source of the favor."
00:05:37.660 --> 00:05:39.762
Source of the favor." in the scripture ruth and her
00:05:39.829 --> 00:05:41.764
In the scripture ruth and her mother-in-law were both
00:05:41.831 --> 00:05:43.099
Mother-in-law were both widows.
00:05:43.166 --> 00:05:44.267
Widows. they were very poor,
00:05:44.333 --> 00:05:45.768
They were very poor, struggling to survive.
00:05:45.835 --> 00:05:47.537
Struggling to survive. ruth would go out into the
00:05:47.603 --> 00:05:48.805
Ruth would go out into the fields each morning and pick
00:05:48.871 --> 00:05:50.840
Fields each morning and pick up the leftover wheat that
00:05:50.907 --> 00:05:52.642
Up the leftover wheat that the workers had missed.
00:05:52.708 --> 00:05:54.477
The workers had missed. one day, the owner of the
00:05:54.544 --> 00:05:56.245
One day, the owner of the field, a man named boaz,
00:05:56.312 --> 00:05:58.414
Field, a man named boaz, noticed ruth and for some
00:05:58.481 --> 00:06:00.149
Noticed ruth and for some reason he decided to be good
00:06:00.216 --> 00:06:02.084
Reason he decided to be good to her.
00:06:02.151 --> 00:06:03.286
To her. he told his workers to leave
00:06:03.352 --> 00:06:05.121
He told his workers to leave handfuls of wheat on purpose
00:06:05.188 --> 00:06:07.323
Handfuls of wheat on purpose for ruth.
00:06:07.390 --> 00:06:08.591
For ruth. eventually, ruth found out it
00:06:08.658 --> 00:06:10.293
Eventually, ruth found out it was him.
00:06:10.359 --> 00:06:11.694
Was him. i can hear her telling her
00:06:11.761 --> 00:06:12.895
I can hear her telling her mother-in-law, "this man
00:06:12.962 --> 00:06:14.397
Mother-in-law, "this man boaz, this owner, he's being
00:06:14.464 --> 00:06:16.766
Boaz, this owner, he's being so good to me.
00:06:16.833 --> 00:06:18.568
So good to me. he's leaving me so much
00:06:18.634 --> 00:06:19.602
He's leaving me so much wheat."
00:06:19.669 --> 00:06:20.803
Wheat." ruth thought it was boaz
00:06:20.870 --> 00:06:23.005
Ruth thought it was boaz being good to her.
00:06:23.072 --> 00:06:24.674
Being good to her. the truth is it was god being
00:06:24.740 --> 00:06:26.609
The truth is it was god being good to her.
00:06:26.676 --> 00:06:28.010
Good to her. boaz was the resource, but
00:06:28.077 --> 00:06:30.046
Boaz was the resource, but god was the source.
00:06:30.112 --> 00:06:31.848
God was the source. god was the one speaking to
00:06:31.914 --> 00:06:33.683
God was the one speaking to boaz, giving him that desire
00:06:33.749 --> 00:06:36.352
Boaz, giving him that desire to be good to her.
00:06:36.419 --> 00:06:38.321
To be good to her. how many times has god spoken
00:06:38.387 --> 00:06:40.523
How many times has god spoken to people to be good to us
00:06:40.590 --> 00:06:42.925
To people to be good to us and we didn't even know it?
00:06:42.992 --> 00:06:44.794
And we didn't even know it? for no reason they decided to
00:06:44.861 --> 00:06:46.496
For no reason they decided to help us.
00:06:46.562 --> 00:06:47.697
Help us. they opened a door.
00:06:47.763 --> 00:06:49.165
They opened a door. they gave us a position.
00:06:49.232 --> 00:06:50.766
They gave us a position. they introduced us to a
00:06:50.833 --> 00:06:51.667
They introduced us to a friend.
00:06:51.734 --> 00:06:52.802
Friend. they were a resource that the
00:06:52.869 --> 00:06:54.837
They were a resource that the source was using.
00:06:54.904 --> 00:06:56.606
Source was using. the longer i live the more i
00:06:56.672 --> 00:06:58.841
The longer i live the more i recognize god's goodness in
00:06:58.908 --> 00:07:00.977
Recognize god's goodness in my life, things that i
00:07:01.043 --> 00:07:03.012
My life, things that i thought were a coincidence, i
00:07:03.079 --> 00:07:05.147
Thought were a coincidence, i thought were people just
00:07:05.214 --> 00:07:06.315
Thought were people just wanting to be good to me.
00:07:06.382 --> 00:07:07.750
Wanting to be good to me. i realize now it was the
00:07:07.817 --> 00:07:09.886
I realize now it was the source.
00:07:09.952 --> 00:07:11.254
Source. doors that opened that you
00:07:11.320 --> 00:07:12.488
Doors that opened that you couldn't open.
00:07:12.555 --> 00:07:14.156
Couldn't open. somebody decided to give you
00:07:14.223 --> 00:07:15.491
Somebody decided to give you a good break.
00:07:15.558 --> 00:07:16.893
A good break. you were at the right place
00:07:16.959 --> 00:07:17.960
You were at the right place at the right time.
00:07:18.027 --> 00:07:19.195
At the right time. met that person and fell in
00:07:19.262 --> 00:07:20.763
Met that person and fell in love.
00:07:20.830 --> 00:07:21.764
Love. that wasn't a coincidence.
00:07:21.831 --> 00:07:23.566
That wasn't a coincidence. that was the source.
00:07:23.633 --> 00:07:25.768
That was the source. that person that put in a
00:07:25.835 --> 00:07:26.969
That person that put in a good word for you, and you
00:07:27.036 --> 00:07:28.404
Good word for you, and you got the promotion.
00:07:28.471 --> 00:07:30.006
Got the promotion. you weren't lucky.
00:07:30.072 --> 00:07:31.507
You weren't lucky. that was god speaking to them
00:07:31.574 --> 00:07:33.442
That was god speaking to them like he spoke to boaz.
00:07:33.509 --> 00:07:35.912
Like he spoke to boaz. every good thing comes from
00:07:35.978 --> 00:07:37.847
Every good thing comes from our father above.
00:07:37.914 --> 00:07:39.615
Our father above. they may not have even known
00:07:39.682 --> 00:07:40.950
They may not have even known it was god speaking to them.
00:07:41.017 --> 00:07:42.919
It was god speaking to them. they just suddenly had a
00:07:42.985 --> 00:07:44.287
They just suddenly had a desire to be good to you, to
00:07:44.353 --> 00:07:46.289
Desire to be good to you, to stay late and introduce you
00:07:46.355 --> 00:07:47.924
Stay late and introduce you to the client, to waive the
00:07:47.990 --> 00:07:49.725
To the client, to waive the policy and put the loan
00:07:49.792 --> 00:07:51.027
Policy and put the loan through.
00:07:51.093 --> 00:07:52.562
Through. are you recognizing the
00:07:52.628 --> 00:07:53.729
Are you recognizing the source?
00:07:53.796 --> 00:07:55.097
Source? are you thanking god for
00:07:55.164 --> 00:07:56.165
Are you thanking god for every good gift?
00:07:56.232 --> 00:07:58.034
Every good gift? do you realize you wouldn't
00:07:58.100 --> 00:07:59.769
Do you realize you wouldn't have waken up this morning
00:07:59.835 --> 00:08:01.404
Have waken up this morning without the source?
00:08:01.470 --> 00:08:03.005
Without the source? you wouldn't have air to
00:08:03.072 --> 00:08:03.973
You wouldn't have air to breathe without the source.
00:08:04.040 --> 00:08:05.908
Breathe without the source. your eyes wouldn't see
00:08:05.975 --> 00:08:07.243
Your eyes wouldn't see without the source.
00:08:07.310 --> 00:08:08.844
Without the source. you wouldn't have that person
00:08:08.911 --> 00:08:10.046
You wouldn't have that person to love without the source.
00:08:10.112 --> 00:08:12.515
To love without the source. don't get so caught up in the
00:08:12.582 --> 00:08:14.483
Don't get so caught up in the resources that you forget
00:08:14.550 --> 00:08:16.886
Resources that you forget it's the most high god
00:08:16.953 --> 00:08:18.487
It's the most high god working in your life.
00:08:18.554 --> 00:08:20.323
Working in your life. it's god protecting you from
00:08:20.389 --> 00:08:22.692
It's god protecting you from that accident.
00:08:22.758 --> 00:08:24.160
That accident. it was god healing you from
00:08:24.226 --> 00:08:25.928
It was god healing you from the cancer.
00:08:25.995 --> 00:08:27.163
The cancer. not just the medicine, it was
00:08:27.229 --> 00:08:28.764
Not just the medicine, it was the source.
00:08:28.831 --> 00:08:30.199
The source. when you look back over your
00:08:30.266 --> 00:08:31.400
When you look back over your life nothing was a
00:08:31.467 --> 00:08:32.602
Life nothing was a coincidence.
00:08:32.668 --> 00:08:34.170
Coincidence. there were no lucky breaks.
00:08:34.236 --> 00:08:36.038
There were no lucky breaks. what you thought was just
00:08:36.105 --> 00:08:37.206
What you thought was just boaz being good to you,
00:08:37.273 --> 00:08:39.175
Boaz being good to you, leaving you handfuls on
00:08:39.241 --> 00:08:40.409
Leaving you handfuls on purpose, that was the hand of
00:08:40.476 --> 00:08:42.445
Purpose, that was the hand of god, the source, working
00:08:42.511 --> 00:08:44.480
God, the source, working behind the scenes telling
00:08:44.547 --> 00:08:46.148
Behind the scenes telling them to be good to you.
00:08:46.215 --> 00:08:48.284
Them to be good to you. when we were trying to
00:08:48.351 --> 00:08:49.285
When we were trying to acquire this facility, the
00:08:49.352 --> 00:08:51.454
Acquire this facility, the former compaq center, it was
00:08:51.520 --> 00:08:53.322
Former compaq center, it was owned by the city, so we had
00:08:53.389 --> 00:08:55.391
Owned by the city, so we had to get the city council
00:08:55.458 --> 00:08:56.859
To get the city council members to vote to approve
00:08:56.926 --> 00:08:58.294
Members to vote to approve it.
00:08:58.361 --> 00:08:59.595
It. i had never been involved in
00:08:59.662 --> 00:09:01.297
I had never been involved in any kind of politics and
00:09:01.364 --> 00:09:03.232
Any kind of politics and convincing council members.
00:09:03.299 --> 00:09:05.368
Convincing council members. this was way out of my
00:09:05.434 --> 00:09:06.235
This was way out of my expertise.
00:09:06.302 --> 00:09:07.803
Expertise. someone randomly introduced
00:09:07.870 --> 00:09:09.639
Someone randomly introduced us to a man that had been in
00:09:09.705 --> 00:09:11.907
Us to a man that had been in city politics his whole life.
00:09:11.974 --> 00:09:14.477
City politics his whole life. he had worked for different
00:09:14.543 --> 00:09:15.511
He had worked for different mayors for many years.
00:09:15.578 --> 00:09:17.913
Mayors for many years. he wasn't the typical
00:09:17.980 --> 00:09:19.882
He wasn't the typical white-collar professional
00:09:19.949 --> 00:09:21.617
White-collar professional that you might envision.
00:09:21.684 --> 00:09:23.319
That you might envision. he was kind of rough.
00:09:23.386 --> 00:09:25.187
He was kind of rough. he liked to party, he liked
00:09:25.254 --> 00:09:26.922
He liked to party, he liked to drink, didn't always use
00:09:26.989 --> 00:09:28.924
To drink, didn't always use good language, but for some
00:09:28.991 --> 00:09:30.826
Good language, but for some reason he really liked us.
00:09:30.893 --> 00:09:32.962
Reason he really liked us. he really wanted us to get
00:09:33.029 --> 00:09:34.163
He really wanted us to get the building.
00:09:34.230 --> 00:09:35.364
The building. he went overboard to make
00:09:35.431 --> 00:09:36.999
He went overboard to make things happen.
00:09:37.066 --> 00:09:38.668
Things happen. he used his favor, his
00:09:38.734 --> 00:09:40.403
He used his favor, his influence to sway people.
00:09:40.469 --> 00:09:43.039
Influence to sway people. early on there was a council
00:09:43.105 --> 00:09:44.507
Early on there was a council member that was against us.
00:09:44.573 --> 00:09:46.275
Member that was against us. he said, "joel, don't worry.
00:09:46.342 --> 00:09:48.010
He said, "joel, don't worry. he'll vote for us.
00:09:48.077 --> 00:09:49.378
He'll vote for us. he owes me."
00:09:49.445 --> 00:09:51.847
He owes me." i didn't ask for any details.
00:09:51.914 --> 00:09:53.482
I didn't ask for any details. i just said, "thank you,
00:09:53.549 --> 00:09:54.483
I just said, "thank you, jesus."
00:09:54.550 --> 00:09:56.519
Jesus." here this man had not been in
00:09:56.585 --> 00:09:58.154
Here this man had not been in church his whole life, but he
00:09:58.220 --> 00:09:59.855
Church his whole life, but he was doing all he could to
00:09:59.922 --> 00:10:01.857
Was doing all he could to help lakewood get the
00:10:01.924 --> 00:10:02.892
Help lakewood get the building.
00:10:02.958 --> 00:10:04.326
Building. i realize now that wasn't
00:10:04.393 --> 00:10:06.162
I realize now that wasn't just him deciding to help us,
00:10:06.228 --> 00:10:08.898
Just him deciding to help us, him just deciding to do a
00:10:08.964 --> 00:10:10.299
Him just deciding to do a good deed.
00:10:10.366 --> 00:10:11.333
Good deed. he was a resource that the
00:10:11.400 --> 00:10:13.002
He was a resource that the source was using.
00:10:13.069 --> 00:10:14.770
Source was using. he may not have even known
00:10:14.837 --> 00:10:15.871
He may not have even known that was god speaking to him.
00:10:15.938 --> 00:10:18.407
That was god speaking to him. after we got the building, he
00:10:18.474 --> 00:10:19.575
After we got the building, he came to a service.
00:10:19.642 --> 00:10:21.610
Came to a service. years later he was being
00:10:21.677 --> 00:10:23.179
Years later he was being interviewed about the process
00:10:23.245 --> 00:10:25.114
Interviewed about the process and about why he had helped
00:10:25.181 --> 00:10:26.282
And about why he had helped us.
00:10:26.348 --> 00:10:27.316
Us. he said, "i don't go to
00:10:27.383 --> 00:10:28.284
He said, "i don't go to church.
00:10:28.350 --> 00:10:29.485
Church. i went to lakewood one time,
00:10:29.552 --> 00:10:31.120
I went to lakewood one time, and i don't like the circus."

And i don't like the circus." he referred to us as "the

He referred to us as "the circus," and, yes, our

Circus," and, yes, our services are fun and exciting
00:10:36.425 --> 00:10:38.394
Services are fun and exciting and in a few minutes the

Elephants will be coming out and at the end victoria is

Going to walk the high-wire, followed by my brother paul
00:10:47.103 --> 00:10:48.237
Followed by my brother paul being shot out of a cannon,
00:10:48.304 --> 00:10:49.438
Being shot out of a cannon, so stay for that.
00:10:49.505 --> 00:10:51.373
So stay for that. none of that bothered me, but
00:10:51.440 --> 00:10:52.708
None of that bothered me, but he went on to say--and i'm
00:10:52.775 --> 00:10:54.477
He went on to say--and i'm not telling you this to brag
00:10:54.543 --> 00:10:55.678
Not telling you this to brag on me, just to make the
00:10:55.745 --> 00:10:56.645
On me, just to make the point.
00:10:56.712 --> 00:10:57.413
Point. he said, "i helped them
00:10:57.480 --> 00:10:59.081
He said, "i helped them because i've never met anyone
00:10:59.148 --> 00:11:00.683
Because i've never met anyone like joel.
00:11:00.750 --> 00:11:01.851
Like joel. i would walk through a fire
00:11:01.917 --> 00:11:02.852
I would walk through a fire for that man."
00:11:02.918 --> 00:11:04.854
For that man." i would love to think that
00:11:04.920 --> 00:11:06.388
I would love to think that i'm that charming, i'm that
00:11:06.455 --> 00:11:08.357
I'm that charming, i'm that dynamic.
00:11:08.424 --> 00:11:09.391
Dynamic. can i tell you i'm not?
00:11:09.458 --> 00:11:11.193
Can i tell you i'm not? i hardly even knew him.
00:11:11.260 --> 00:11:12.762
I hardly even knew him. that was the source.
00:11:12.828 --> 00:11:14.497
That was the source. that was god putting the
00:11:14.563 --> 00:11:15.631
That was god putting the right people in our path,
00:11:15.698 --> 00:11:17.366
Right people in our path, causing them to want to be
00:11:17.433 --> 00:11:19.034
Causing them to want to be good to us.
00:11:19.101 --> 00:11:20.803
Good to us. 2 kings chapter 4.
00:11:20.870 --> 00:11:22.171
2 kings chapter 4. there is a story about a
00:11:22.238 --> 00:11:23.172
There is a story about a lady.
00:11:23.239 --> 00:11:24.240
Lady. she and her husband were
00:11:24.306 --> 00:11:25.641
She and her husband were friends with the prophet
00:11:25.708 --> 00:11:26.809
Friends with the prophet elisha, but the husband had
00:11:26.876 --> 00:11:28.611
Elisha, but the husband had died.
00:11:28.677 --> 00:11:29.845
Died. years had passed.
00:11:29.912 --> 00:11:31.313
Years had passed. now this lady didn't have any
00:11:31.380 --> 00:11:33.315
Now this lady didn't have any money to pay her bills.
00:11:33.382 --> 00:11:35.084
Money to pay her bills. it was so bad, the creditors
00:11:35.151 --> 00:11:37.019
It was so bad, the creditors were coming to take her two
00:11:37.086 --> 00:11:38.888
Were coming to take her two sons as payment.
00:11:38.954 --> 00:11:40.890
Sons as payment. you can imagine how
00:11:40.956 --> 00:11:41.590
You can imagine how distraught she was.
00:11:41.657 --> 00:11:43.292
Distraught she was. the prophet elisha came by
00:11:43.359 --> 00:11:45.027
The prophet elisha came by and asked what she had in her
00:11:45.094 --> 00:11:47.163
And asked what she had in her house.
00:11:47.229 --> 00:11:48.364
House. her first answer was,
00:11:48.430 --> 00:11:49.632
Her first answer was, "nothing at all."
00:11:49.698 --> 00:11:51.567
"nothing at all." she was saying, "elisha, i'm
00:11:51.634 --> 00:11:52.468
She was saying, "elisha, i'm done.
00:11:52.535 --> 00:11:53.602
Done. it's too late.
00:11:53.669 --> 00:11:54.470
It's too late. the odds are against me."
00:11:54.537 --> 00:11:56.338
The odds are against me." sometimes when we look at
00:11:56.405 --> 00:11:58.474
Sometimes when we look at what we have, compared to
00:11:58.541 --> 00:12:00.476
What we have, compared to what we need, we think like
00:12:00.543 --> 00:12:02.178
What we need, we think like her.
00:12:02.244 --> 00:12:03.312
Her. "i'll never accomplish my
00:12:03.379 --> 00:12:04.113
"i'll never accomplish my dreams.
00:12:04.180 --> 00:12:05.314
Dreams. i don't have what i need."
00:12:05.381 --> 00:12:06.849
I don't have what i need." "i'll never get well."
00:12:06.916 --> 00:12:08.484
"i'll never get well." "i'll never get out of debt."
00:12:08.551 --> 00:12:10.152
"i'll never get out of debt." we look at the circumstances,
00:12:10.219 --> 00:12:12.188
We look at the circumstances, at the resources: the medical
00:12:12.254 --> 00:12:13.756
At the resources: the medical report, the bank account.
00:12:13.823 --> 00:12:15.691
Report, the bank account. here is the key: the resource
00:12:15.758 --> 00:12:17.726
Here is the key: the resource may have dried up, but the
00:12:17.793 --> 00:12:19.495
May have dried up, but the source is still alive and
00:12:19.562 --> 00:12:20.996
Source is still alive and well.
00:12:21.063 --> 00:12:22.298
Well. she finally said, "elisha, i
00:12:22.364 --> 00:12:24.266
She finally said, "elisha, i do have one thing in my
00:12:24.333 --> 00:12:25.935
Do have one thing in my house, but really it's
00:12:26.001 --> 00:12:27.269
House, but really it's nothing, just a little bottle
00:12:27.336 --> 00:12:29.405
Nothing, just a little bottle of olive oil."
00:12:29.471 --> 00:12:31.440
Of olive oil." she thought, "it's really not
00:12:31.507 --> 00:12:32.575
She thought, "it's really not worth mentioning, i have this
00:12:32.641 --> 00:12:34.443
Worth mentioning, i have this huge debt and all i have is
00:12:34.510 --> 00:12:36.879
Something worth a few
00:12:37.046 --> 00:12:37.713
Something worth a few dollars."
00:12:37.780 --> 00:12:38.814
Dollars." don't discount the small
00:12:38.881 --> 00:12:40.249
Don't discount the small things you have.
00:12:40.316 --> 00:12:41.917
Things you have. don't discount small
00:12:41.984 --> 00:12:43.452
Don't discount small opportunities, small gifts,
00:12:43.519 --> 00:12:45.988
Opportunities, small gifts, small income.
00:12:46.055 --> 00:12:47.323
Small income. may seem small to you, but
00:12:47.389 --> 00:12:49.358
May seem small to you, but god knows how to multiply.
00:12:49.425 --> 00:12:51.594
God knows how to multiply. the scripture says, "if you
00:12:51.660 --> 00:12:53.495
The scripture says, "if you have faith the size of a
00:12:53.562 --> 00:12:55.097
Have faith the size of a mustard seed," that's one of
00:12:55.164 --> 00:12:56.699
Mustard seed," that's one of the smallest seeds, "you
00:12:56.765 --> 00:12:58.367
The smallest seeds, "you could say to this mountain,
00:12:58.434 --> 00:12:59.935
Could say to this mountain, 'be removed,' and it will
00:13:00.002 --> 00:13:01.270
'be removed,' and it will move."
00:13:01.337 --> 00:13:02.605
Move." god doesn't expect us to have
00:13:02.671 --> 00:13:04.673
God doesn't expect us to have great faith all the time.
00:13:04.740 --> 00:13:07.076
Great faith all the time. it's nice when we do, but god
00:13:07.142 --> 00:13:09.078
It's nice when we do, but god is so merciful.
00:13:09.144 --> 00:13:10.646
Is so merciful. he knew there would be times,
00:13:10.713 --> 00:13:12.081
He knew there would be times, like this lady, we would
00:13:12.147 --> 00:13:13.549
Like this lady, we would think, "this is impossible."
00:13:13.616 --> 00:13:15.417
Think, "this is impossible." if you'll just say, "god, all
00:13:15.484 --> 00:13:17.286
If you'll just say, "god, all i have is this little bit of
00:13:17.353 --> 00:13:18.921
I have is this little bit of oil.
00:13:18.988 --> 00:13:19.889
Oil. all i have is mustard-seed
00:13:19.955 --> 00:13:21.557
All i have is mustard-seed faith," watch what
00:13:21.624 --> 00:13:22.524
Faith," watch what god will do.
00:13:22.591 --> 00:13:24.560
God will do. elisha told her to go out and
00:13:24.627 --> 00:13:26.395
Elisha told her to go out and borrow as many large
00:13:26.462 --> 00:13:28.397
Borrow as many large containers as she could find.
00:13:28.464 --> 00:13:30.766
Containers as she could find. i can see this lady knocking
00:13:30.833 --> 00:13:32.234
I can see this lady knocking on door after door, carrying
00:13:32.301 --> 00:13:34.336
On door after door, carrying those empty containers back
00:13:34.403 --> 00:13:35.871
Those empty containers back to her house.
00:13:35.938 --> 00:13:37.339
To her house. don't you know god saw her
00:13:37.406 --> 00:13:39.241
Don't you know god saw her faith, god saw her being
00:13:39.308 --> 00:13:41.377
Faith, god saw her being obedient, doing what she
00:13:41.443 --> 00:13:43.112
Obedient, doing what she could?
00:13:43.178 --> 00:13:44.446
Could? when you're in difficult
00:13:44.513 --> 00:13:45.347
When you're in difficult times don't sit around in
00:13:45.414 --> 00:13:47.016
Times don't sit around in self-pity.
00:13:47.082 --> 00:13:48.284
Self-pity. do something where god can
00:13:48.350 --> 00:13:49.919
Do something where god can see your faith.
00:13:49.985 --> 00:13:51.954
See your faith. make plans to get well.
00:13:52.021 --> 00:13:53.756
Make plans to get well. make plans to come out of
00:13:53.822 --> 00:13:54.924
Make plans to come out of debt.
00:13:54.990 --> 00:13:55.791
Debt. are you gathering up any
00:13:55.858 --> 00:13:56.959
Are you gathering up any containers?
00:13:57.026 --> 00:13:58.327
Containers? are you taking steps of faith
00:13:58.394 --> 00:14:00.029
Are you taking steps of faith to show god that you're ready
00:14:00.095 --> 00:14:01.397
To show god that you're ready for favor?
00:14:01.463 --> 00:14:02.932
For favor? neighbors started asking,
00:14:02.998 --> 00:14:04.800
Neighbors started asking, "why do you even need these
00:14:04.867 --> 00:14:05.935
"why do you even need these empty containers?
00:14:06.001 --> 00:14:07.536
Empty containers? you don't have anything to
00:14:07.603 --> 00:14:08.404
You don't have anything to put in it, just a little bit
00:14:08.470 --> 00:14:09.772
Put in it, just a little bit of olive oil."
00:14:09.838 --> 00:14:11.273
Of olive oil." she answered, "i may not have
00:14:11.340 --> 00:14:12.875
She answered, "i may not have it yet, but i know it's on
00:14:12.942 --> 00:14:14.677
It yet, but i know it's on the way.
00:14:14.743 --> 00:14:15.878
The way. i know the prophet wouldn't
00:14:15.945 --> 00:14:17.212
I know the prophet wouldn't have asked me to do it if god
00:14:17.279 --> 00:14:18.714
Have asked me to do it if god wasn't up to something."
00:14:18.781 --> 00:14:21.050
Wasn't up to something." faith started to rise in her
00:14:21.116 --> 00:14:22.484
Faith started to rise in her heart.
00:14:22.551 --> 00:14:23.886
Heart. all the circumstances were
00:14:23.953 --> 00:14:25.321
All the circumstances were against her, friends trying
00:14:25.387 --> 00:14:27.056
Against her, friends trying to talk her out of it, her
00:14:27.122 --> 00:14:28.524
To talk her out of it, her own thoughts telling her, "no
00:14:28.590 --> 00:14:29.925
Own thoughts telling her, "no way."
00:14:29.992 --> 00:14:30.960
Way." her attitude was, "i may not
00:14:31.026 --> 00:14:32.928
Her attitude was, "i may not see how this can happen, but
00:14:32.995 --> 00:14:34.797
See how this can happen, but i know a secret: god is my
00:14:34.863 --> 00:14:36.732
I know a secret: god is my source.
00:14:36.799 --> 00:14:37.933
Source. he's my provider.
00:14:38.000 --> 00:14:39.335
He's my provider. i'm connected to that supply
00:14:39.401 --> 00:14:40.803
I'm connected to that supply line that won't run dry."
00:14:40.869 --> 00:14:43.439
Line that won't run dry." elisha said to her, "pour the
00:14:43.505 --> 00:14:45.441
Elisha said to her, "pour the little bit of oil into the
00:14:45.507 --> 00:14:47.176
Little bit of oil into the first container."
00:14:47.242 --> 00:14:48.877
First container." that didn't make sense.
00:14:48.944 --> 00:14:50.512
That didn't make sense. what good was it going to do
00:14:50.579 --> 00:14:51.613
What good was it going to do to transfer oil from one
00:14:51.680 --> 00:14:53.082
To transfer oil from one container to the other?
00:14:53.148 --> 00:14:55.317
Container to the other? what god ask us to do many
00:14:55.384 --> 00:14:57.720
What god ask us to do many times is more about the
00:14:57.786 --> 00:14:59.521
Times is more about the obedience than the actual
00:14:59.588 --> 00:15:01.657
Obedience than the actual thing that we're doing.
00:15:01.724 --> 00:15:03.359
Thing that we're doing. it's a test.
00:15:03.425 --> 00:15:04.727
It's a test. if you'll obey you'll see
00:15:04.793 --> 00:15:06.028
If you'll obey you'll see god's favor.
00:15:06.095 --> 00:15:07.763
God's favor. in the scripture naaman was
00:15:07.830 --> 00:15:09.631
In the scripture naaman was an army captain, but he had
00:15:09.698 --> 00:15:11.767
An army captain, but he had leprosy.
00:15:11.834 --> 00:15:13.068
Leprosy. god told him to go wash in
00:15:13.135 --> 00:15:14.803
God told him to go wash in the jordan river seven times,
00:15:14.870 --> 00:15:16.972
The jordan river seven times, and he would be healed.
00:15:17.039 --> 00:15:18.474
And he would be healed. naaman didn't want to do
00:15:18.540 --> 00:15:19.641
Naaman didn't want to do that.
00:15:19.708 --> 00:15:20.642
That. he came up with all these
00:15:20.709 --> 00:15:21.643
He came up with all these excuses.
00:15:21.710 --> 00:15:22.644
Excuses. "god, the water is too dirty.
00:15:22.711 --> 00:15:24.480
"god, the water is too dirty. we have better rivers back at
00:15:24.546 --> 00:15:25.748
We have better rivers back at home," on and on.
00:15:25.814 --> 00:15:27.349
Home," on and on. he almost talked himself out
00:15:27.416 --> 00:15:28.917
He almost talked himself out of it.
00:15:28.984 --> 00:15:29.885
Of it. the last moment he decided to
00:15:29.952 --> 00:15:31.353
The last moment he decided to do it.
00:15:31.420 --> 00:15:32.321
Do it. when he came up the seventh
00:15:32.388 --> 00:15:33.122
When he came up the seventh time his skin was perfectly
00:15:33.188 --> 00:15:35.257
Time his skin was perfectly normal.
00:15:35.324 --> 00:15:36.759
Normal. the healing wasn't in the
00:15:36.825 --> 00:15:38.027
The healing wasn't in the water.
00:15:38.093 --> 00:15:39.094
Water. the healing was in the
00:15:39.161 --> 00:15:40.129
The healing was in the obedience.
00:15:40.195 --> 00:15:41.363
Obedience. are you doing what god is
00:15:41.430 --> 00:15:42.765
Are you doing what god is asking you to do?
00:15:42.831 --> 00:15:44.333
Asking you to do? are you gathering the
00:15:44.400 --> 00:15:45.067
Are you gathering the containers?
00:15:45.134 --> 00:15:46.001
Containers? are you pouring the oil?
00:15:46.068 --> 00:15:48.003
Are you pouring the oil? this lady could have said,
00:15:48.070 --> 00:15:48.804
This lady could have said, "elisha, i'm not going to do
00:15:48.871 --> 00:15:49.571
"elisha, i'm not going to do that.
00:15:49.638 --> 00:15:50.406
That. it's going to be a waste of
00:15:50.472 --> 00:15:51.273
It's going to be a waste of time."
00:15:51.340 --> 00:15:52.307
Time." she would have missed her
00:15:52.374 --> 00:15:53.108
She would have missed her miracle.
00:15:53.175 --> 00:15:54.476
Miracle. when she poured the little
00:15:54.543 --> 00:15:55.577
When she poured the little oil into the first container,
00:15:55.644 --> 00:15:57.713
Oil into the first container, the oil never stopped
00:15:57.780 --> 00:15:59.148
The oil never stopped flowing.
00:15:59.214 --> 00:16:00.482
Flowing. she filled the first one up,
00:16:00.549 --> 00:16:01.884
She filled the first one up, then the second, then the
00:16:01.950 --> 00:16:02.651
Then the second, then the third.
00:16:02.718 --> 00:16:03.886
Third. that doesn't make sense.
00:16:03.952 --> 00:16:05.554
That doesn't make sense. where was the oil coming
00:16:05.621 --> 00:16:06.522
Where was the oil coming from?
00:16:06.588 --> 00:16:07.322
From? the source.
00:16:07.389 --> 00:16:08.724
The source. when you do what god ask you
00:16:08.791 --> 00:16:10.926
When you do what god ask you to do that doesn't make
00:16:10.993 --> 00:16:12.561
To do that doesn't make sense, god will do things for
00:16:12.628 --> 00:16:14.563
Sense, god will do things for you that don't make sense.
00:16:14.630 --> 00:16:16.832
You that don't make sense. he'll show out in your life.

He'll show out in your life. this lady kept pouring oil
00:16:19.268 --> 00:16:21.403
This lady kept pouring oil until all the containers were
00:16:21.470 --> 00:16:23.072
Until all the containers were full.
00:16:23.138 --> 00:16:24.206
Full. then she went out and sold
00:16:24.273 --> 00:16:25.307
Then she went out and sold it.
00:16:25.374 --> 00:16:26.275
It. she was able to pay all of
00:16:26.341 --> 00:16:27.476
She was able to pay all of her bills.
00:16:27.543 --> 00:16:28.644
Her bills. she had plenty left over to
00:16:28.710 --> 00:16:30.045
She had plenty left over to live on, but that little bit
00:16:30.112 --> 00:16:32.314
Live on, but that little bit of oil should have run out,
00:16:32.381 --> 00:16:34.116
Of oil should have run out, but god has supernatural
00:16:34.183 --> 00:16:35.884

Sustain you, but to increase you to where you defy the
00:16:41.023 --> 00:16:42.724
You to where you defy the odds.
00:16:42.791 --> 00:16:44.259
Odds. you may have areas in your
00:16:44.326 --> 00:16:45.627
You may have areas in your life that are dry now, you
00:16:45.694 --> 00:16:47.996
Life that are dry now, you haven't seen much good
00:16:48.063 --> 00:16:49.031
Haven't seen much good breaks, seen any favor, any
00:16:49.098 --> 00:16:51.400
Breaks, seen any favor, any increase, seems like it's
00:16:51.467 --> 00:16:52.935
Increase, seems like it's permanent.
00:16:53.001 --> 00:16:53.802
Permanent. no, get ready.

Unusual. you couldn't have made it
00:16:59.875 --> 00:17:00.642
You couldn't have made it happen, the odds were against

Happen, the odds were against you, but the source is going
00:17:02.311 --> 00:17:04.680
You, but the source is going to send a supernatural flow.

That they really liked, but every time they tried to move
00:18:52.454 --> 00:18:53.655
Every time they tried to move forward they didn't feel
00:18:53.722 --> 00:18:55.090
Forward they didn't feel peace about it.
00:18:55.157 --> 00:18:56.491

Better investment. the property values were
00:19:09.304 --> 00:19:10.172
The property values were higher, but even though they
00:19:10.239 --> 00:19:11.773
Higher, but even though they could afford it, because they
00:19:11.840 --> 00:19:13.442

He knew how to do and that was fishing.
00:20:56.244 --> 00:20:57.446
Was fishing. he had done that his whole
00:20:57.512 --> 00:20:58.347
He had done that his whole life.
00:20:58.413 --> 00:20:59.414
Life. well, they had fished all
00:20:59.481 --> 00:21:00.649
Well, they had fished all night and caught nothing.
00:21:00.716 --> 00:21:02.517
Night and caught nothing. early the next morning, jesus
00:21:02.584 --> 00:21:04.986
Early the next morning, jesus appeared to them.
00:21:05.053 --> 00:21:06.488
Appeared to them. he came walking up on the
00:21:06.555 --> 00:21:07.556
He came walking up on the beach and said, "have you
00:21:07.622 --> 00:21:09.391
Beach and said, "have you caught anything?"
00:21:09.458 --> 00:21:10.726
Caught anything?" they said, "no."
00:21:10.792 --> 00:21:12.227
They said, "no." he said, "throw your nets on
00:21:12.294 --> 00:21:13.595
He said, "throw your nets on the right side of the boat,
00:21:13.662 --> 00:21:15.330
The right side of the boat, and you'll catch some fish."
00:21:15.397 --> 00:21:17.132
And you'll catch some fish." when they did, they caught a
00:21:17.199 --> 00:21:18.600
When they did, they caught a whole net full of fish.
00:21:18.667 --> 00:21:21.169
Whole net full of fish. instantly peter recognized
00:21:21.236 --> 00:21:23.238
Instantly peter recognized that it was jesus.
00:21:23.305 --> 00:21:24.706
That it was jesus. he jumped out of the boat and
00:21:24.773 --> 00:21:26.174
He jumped out of the boat and swam to the shore.
00:21:26.241 --> 00:21:28.043
Swam to the shore. jesus had fish cooking over a
00:21:28.110 --> 00:21:30.712
Jesus had fish cooking over a fire.
00:21:30.779 --> 00:21:32.013
Fire. he gave peter some to eat.
00:21:32.080 --> 00:21:34.282
He gave peter some to eat. what peter was trying to
00:21:34.349 --> 00:21:35.617
What peter was trying to catch, jesus not only had
00:21:35.684 --> 00:21:38.053
Catch, jesus not only had waiting for him, but he had
00:21:38.120 --> 00:21:39.788
Waiting for him, but he had it cooked and ready to eat.
00:21:39.855 --> 00:21:42.724
It cooked and ready to eat. god is saying, "what you're
00:21:42.791 --> 00:21:44.559
God is saying, "what you're trying to accomplish on your
00:21:44.626 --> 00:21:46.161
Trying to accomplish on your own, if you'll look to me, if
00:21:46.228 --> 00:21:49.598
Own, if you'll look to me, if you'll recognize i'm the
00:21:49.664 --> 00:21:51.032
You'll recognize i'm the source, you'll see i have it
00:21:51.099 --> 00:21:53.602
Source, you'll see i have it cooked and already prepared.
00:21:53.668 --> 00:21:55.937
Cooked and already prepared. i have it already waiting for
00:21:56.004 --> 00:21:57.439
I have it already waiting for you."
00:21:57.506 --> 00:21:58.707
You." like peter, you may have done
00:21:58.774 --> 00:22:00.842
Like peter, you may have done it in the past.
00:22:00.909 --> 00:22:02.411
It in the past. you were good at it, but
00:22:02.477 --> 00:22:04.079
You were good at it, but there are times that god will
00:22:04.146 --> 00:22:05.747
There are times that god will not let what worked in the
00:22:05.814 --> 00:22:07.082
Not let what worked in the past continue to work,
00:22:07.149 --> 00:22:09.551
Past continue to work, because he knows we'll think
00:22:09.618 --> 00:22:10.919
Because he knows we'll think we're doing it in our own
00:22:10.986 --> 00:22:12.053
We're doing it in our own strength, our own ability.
00:22:12.120 --> 00:22:14.389
Strength, our own ability. god wants us to see him as
00:22:14.456 --> 00:22:16.925
God wants us to see him as the source, to recognize his
00:22:16.992 --> 00:22:18.994
The source, to recognize his blessings, but too often
00:22:19.060 --> 00:22:20.962
Blessings, but too often we're striving to make it
00:22:21.029 --> 00:22:21.963
We're striving to make it happen, trying to beat down a
00:22:22.030 --> 00:22:23.965
Happen, trying to beat down a door, discouraged because
00:22:24.032 --> 00:22:25.767
Door, discouraged because it's taking too long.
00:22:25.834 --> 00:22:27.269
It's taking too long. god is saying, "come to me.
00:22:27.335 --> 00:22:29.137
God is saying, "come to me. ask me for help.
00:22:29.204 --> 00:22:30.839
Ask me for help. acknowledge me every day as
