Taffi: Look over atEphesians chapter 4,
00:01:37.534 --> 00:01:40.870
verse 23 in theEasy Reading Version,
00:01:40.904 --> 00:01:44.807
Easy Reading Version.
00:01:44.841 --> 00:01:48.711
Because I believe thatthere are God happenings,
00:01:48.745 --> 00:01:53.016
that there are God happeningsjust like they happened for
00:01:53.049 --> 00:01:56.719
Ruth and Boaz when shemet the right person;
00:01:56.753 --> 00:02:02.192
and how there are Godhappenings in your career,
00:02:02.225 --> 00:02:07.931
in your relationships,in your life in general.
00:02:07.964 --> 00:02:11.734
So don't be discouraged todayby others and by what they say.
00:02:11.768 --> 00:02:18.141
Let them say whatthey need to say,
00:02:18.174 --> 00:02:20.877
but God has the final say so.
00:02:20.910 --> 00:02:24.414
And so, we have to lookat some Scriptures here,
00:02:24.447 --> 00:02:29.285
and we're gonnalook at an example
00:02:29.319 --> 00:02:32.222
over in John 21when we finish.
00:02:32.255 --> 00:02:34.190
But the Scripture says here,
00:02:34.224 --> 00:02:35.925
"You must be made new in yourhearts and in your thinking."
00:02:35.959 --> 00:02:44.601
So if you want to get overinto a place to experience
00:02:44.634 --> 00:02:47.570
God possibilities, you gottaget a new program on the inside.
00:02:47.604 --> 00:02:53.443
You gotta takethat old program out.
00:02:53.476 --> 00:02:55.645
You gotta take that oldsoftware out that thinks
00:02:55.678 --> 00:02:58.348
negative, thinksfear, thinks less,
00:02:58.381 --> 00:03:00.650
thinks unworthy,thinks unqualified.
00:03:00.683 --> 00:03:03.353
You gotta take that outand put in your new heart
00:03:03.386 --> 00:03:08.157
and put a new thinking.
00:03:08.191 --> 00:03:09.792
And so he says, "You mustbe made new in your hearts."
00:03:09.826 --> 00:03:14.063
And you must programyour spirit for success.
00:03:14.097 --> 00:03:19.702
Now let's look at anexample of this in John 21,
00:03:19.736 --> 00:03:22.905
verse 1 through 3,because the disciples--
00:03:22.939 --> 00:03:26.943
I want you to understand thatthe disciples were at a place
00:03:26.976 --> 00:03:31.180
where they were fishing.
00:03:31.214 --> 00:03:32.782
They had fished forquite a while and they--
00:03:32.815 --> 00:03:36.719
unfortunately, they werenot getting the results
00:03:36.753 --> 00:03:41.324
that they wanted to have.
00:03:41.357 --> 00:03:43.559
And so we see herethat there were things
00:03:43.593 --> 00:03:48.931
that they weren't encountering.
00:03:48.965 --> 00:03:52.535
And so, you know, whenyou go out to fish,
00:03:52.568 --> 00:03:55.571
obviously, you wantto catch something.
00:03:55.605 --> 00:03:58.107
They weren't out thereall night long just to be,
00:03:58.141 --> 00:04:01.778
you know, putting the--
00:04:01.811 --> 00:04:04.947
to play around inthe water; but no,
00:04:04.981 --> 00:04:06.983
they were expectingto catch.
00:04:07.016 --> 00:04:08.851
And so the Scripturesays, "Later, Jesus
00:04:08.885 --> 00:04:11.154
appeared again to hisfollowers by Lake Galilee.
00:04:11.187 --> 00:04:15.325
This is how it happened."
00:04:15.358 --> 00:04:16.759
Look at verse 2.
00:04:16.793 --> 00:04:18.094
"Some of the followerswere together:
00:04:18.127 --> 00:04:19.595
Simon Peter, Thomas,Nathanael from Cana,
00:04:19.629 --> 00:04:23.099
the two sons of Zebedee,
00:04:23.132 --> 00:04:26.202
and two other followers.
00:04:26.235 --> 00:04:29.906
Simon Peter said,'I'm going out to fish.'
00:04:29.939 --> 00:04:33.443
The other followers said,'We will go with you.'
00:04:33.476 --> 00:04:38.348
So all of them went outand got into the boat.
00:04:38.381 --> 00:04:45.054
They fished that night," and theScripture says here in verse 3,
00:04:45.088 --> 00:04:50.360
"but caught nothing."
00:04:50.393 --> 00:04:53.996
They fished but caught nothing.
00:04:54.030 --> 00:04:59.168
So they were in the right place,
00:04:59.202 --> 00:05:03.039
but they weren't fishingat the right time.
00:05:03.072 --> 00:05:07.510
And you know, there are times inour life that maybe we're at the
00:05:07.543 --> 00:05:11.981
right place, but maybe we're notgetting the results because
00:05:12.014 --> 00:05:17.653
we're not doing itat the right time.
00:05:17.687 --> 00:05:22.125
Now, had they made theadjustment to fish at
00:05:22.158 --> 00:05:26.362
the right time, their outcomewould have been different.
00:05:26.396 --> 00:05:33.035
And so it's funny because whenJesus came along and he gives
00:05:33.069 --> 00:05:38.241
them directions on whatto do and where to do it,
00:05:38.274 --> 00:05:45.248
all of a sudden,they get the results.
00:05:45.281 --> 00:05:49.919
They encounter fish.
00:05:49.952 --> 00:05:52.255
Fish start jumping in the net.
00:05:52.288 --> 00:05:56.058
You know why?
00:05:56.092 --> 00:05:58.094
Because there's something aboutnot just being at the right
00:05:58.127 --> 00:06:01.597
place but it also is beingthere at the right time.
00:06:01.631 --> 00:06:06.669
And then they experiencedGod happenings,
00:06:06.702 --> 00:06:10.339
God encounters,God's manifestation,
00:06:10.373 --> 00:06:14.844
God evidence in their life totestify and to see his face
00:06:14.877 --> 00:06:22.618
shine upon what they were doing.
00:06:22.652 --> 00:06:27.256
And so we have to ask ourselves.
00:06:27.290 --> 00:06:30.426
We must understand that wecannot move forward operating
00:06:30.460 --> 00:06:35.264
outside of the will of God.
00:06:35.298 --> 00:06:38.067
The disciples were fishing,
00:06:38.100 --> 00:06:40.570
but not accordingto the will of God.
00:06:40.603 --> 00:06:42.405
They were fishing accordingto their own will; at the time
00:06:42.438 --> 00:06:46.476
that they wanted to fish,
00:06:46.509 --> 00:06:48.110
what seemed the right time.
00:06:48.144 --> 00:06:51.314
But when they're notin the right place--
00:06:51.347 --> 00:06:55.485
when we're not inthe right place,
00:06:55.518 --> 00:06:57.286
we will not getthe right results.
00:06:57.320 --> 00:07:00.156
When we work withoutJesus, our work is futile,
00:07:00.189 --> 00:07:04.193
our work will be worthless.
00:07:04.227 --> 00:07:06.462
We cannot move forward operatingoutside of the will of God.
00:07:06.496 --> 00:07:12.702
Rather than beingin the will of God--
00:07:12.735 --> 00:07:15.705
Peter and the disciples followedtheir own will rather than the
00:07:15.738 --> 00:07:20.843
will of God, and youknow that's what happens
00:07:20.877 --> 00:07:23.713
in many of our lives.
00:07:23.746 --> 00:07:25.081
We do that which is comfortable,which is convenient to us,
00:07:25.114 --> 00:07:28.384
and then, as a result, we're notin the right place, and we do
00:07:28.417 --> 00:07:31.387
not get the right results.
00:07:31.420 --> 00:07:33.856
As the fishermanPeter and the disciples,
00:07:33.890 --> 00:07:37.126
new fish were easier to catch atnight when the water was cooler
00:07:37.159 --> 00:07:43.165
and the fish surfaced to feed.
00:07:43.199 --> 00:07:47.169
But when you work without Jesus,your work will be worthless.
00:07:47.203 --> 00:07:51.774
All night, the Scripturesays, they worked.
00:07:51.807 --> 00:07:54.410
No fruit of their labor.
00:07:54.443 --> 00:07:58.047
All night they worked;dropping their nets,
00:07:58.080 --> 00:08:00.716
emptying their nets.
00:08:00.750 --> 00:08:02.985
And then as a result, theywere in the right place.
00:08:03.019 --> 00:08:08.858
And then they did not get theright results because it was
00:08:08.891 --> 00:08:14.497
at the wrong time,the wrong time.
00:08:14.530 --> 00:08:18.634
Now, let's look at thisover in 2 Samuel chapter 11,
00:08:18.668 --> 00:08:22.204
verses 1 through 3.
00:08:22.238 --> 00:08:23.639
Let's kind of speedthis up a little bit.
00:08:23.673 --> 00:08:25.975
We're gonna look at anothersituation where we see someone
00:08:26.008 --> 00:08:31.280
who was at the wrongplace at the wrong time;
00:08:31.314 --> 00:08:36.085
wrong place, wrong time.
00:08:36.118 --> 00:08:37.920
Chapter 11, verse1 through 5 says,
00:08:37.954 --> 00:08:40.089
"In the spring, whenthe kings go out to war,
00:08:40.122 --> 00:08:42.758
David sent Joab, his officers,
00:08:42.792 --> 00:08:45.127
and all the Israelites outto destroy the Ammonites.
00:08:45.161 --> 00:08:47.763
Joab's army surroundedtheir capital city, Rabbah.
00:08:47.797 --> 00:08:54.136
David stayed in Jerusalem."
00:08:54.170 --> 00:08:58.274
So just context here, they hadall gone out for war and to do
00:08:58.307 --> 00:09:05.514
what they believethe assignment was,
00:09:05.548 --> 00:09:08.818
but David did not go.
00:09:08.851 --> 00:09:12.121
David didn't go outwith everybody else.
00:09:12.154 --> 00:09:13.723
So Scripture sayshe stayed back.
00:09:13.756 --> 00:09:18.694
So his location was differentfrom everybody else's.
00:09:18.728 --> 00:09:23.032
"So one evening he got up fromhis bed and walked around on
00:09:23.065 --> 00:09:25.868
the roof of his house.
00:09:25.901 --> 00:09:28.671
From there he sawa woman bathing.
00:09:28.704 --> 00:09:32.475
She was very beautiful."
00:09:32.508 --> 00:09:36.112
Keep going.
00:09:36.145 --> 00:09:38.547
"So David sent for his officersand asked them who she was.
00:09:38.581 --> 00:09:44.420
An officer answer,'That is Bathsheba,
00:09:44.453 --> 00:09:48.457
the daughter of Eliam.
00:09:48.491 --> 00:09:50.926
She is the wife ofUriah the Hittite.'"
00:09:50.960 --> 00:09:57.767
Let's read on down to verse 5.
00:09:57.800 --> 00:09:59.635
"David sent messengers to goand bring Bathsheba to him.
00:09:59.669 --> 00:10:02.738
She had just purified herself
00:10:02.772 --> 00:10:05.241
after her monthlytime of bleeding.
00:10:05.274 --> 00:10:07.910
She went to David, he hadsexual relations with her,
00:10:07.943 --> 00:10:14.483
and then she wentback to her house.
00:10:14.517 --> 00:10:19.789
Later, Bathshebabecame pregnant.
00:10:19.822 --> 00:10:25.161
She sent word to himsaying, 'I am pregnant.'"
00:10:25.194 --> 00:10:33.436
So I say to you, this shows whenwe're not where God wants us to
00:10:33.469 --> 00:10:41.043
be, and we're outside of theassignment of God and outside
00:10:41.077 --> 00:10:47.950
of the will of God, we're goingto experience the wrong results.
00:10:47.983 --> 00:10:56.292
And so David insteadof going off to war,
00:10:56.325 --> 00:11:01.263
he decided that he would go outand he would see her bathing,
00:11:01.297 --> 00:11:09.839
have sex with her,get her pregnant,
00:11:09.872 --> 00:11:13.609
and the rest is history.
00:11:13.642 --> 00:11:15.644
So we have to recognize thatthis was not David's best.
00:11:15.678 --> 00:11:22.318
This was not Bathsheba's best.
00:11:22.351 --> 00:11:25.988
David was where heshould not have been.
00:11:26.021 --> 00:11:30.359
When his army went to battle,David stayed at home instead of
00:11:30.392 --> 00:11:33.696
taking his placewith his troops.
00:11:33.729 --> 00:11:38.167
He saw what heshould have not seen.
00:11:38.200 --> 00:11:43.105
David saw her on the rooftop,and instead of turning away,
00:11:43.139 --> 00:11:48.377
he kept looking.
00:11:48.410 --> 00:11:51.413
His look turned to lust,and he sent for her.
00:11:51.447 --> 00:11:58.788
David was in the wrongplace at the wrong time,
00:11:58.821 --> 00:12:04.160
with a wrong look,wrong thoughts,
00:12:04.193 --> 00:12:06.428
and he acted on his lust.
00:12:06.462 --> 00:12:09.665
And as we saw and as weread, the result was she
00:12:09.698 --> 00:12:14.370
was impregnated, and then asa result, the consequences that
00:12:14.403 --> 00:12:19.542
occurred over time.
00:12:19.575 --> 00:12:22.711
So we're talking abouttoday, child of God,
00:12:22.745 --> 00:12:26.448
God happenings, God encounters,things and opportunities that
00:12:26.482 --> 00:12:34.323
God has for our lifeto cause and propel
00:12:34.356 --> 00:12:38.627
us forward and higher,
00:12:38.661 --> 00:12:41.497
not opportunities--well, Iwould say they're opportunities,
00:12:41.530 --> 00:12:46.101
but not temptationsthat will take us back,
00:12:46.135 --> 00:12:51.073
like in David's situation,or that cause us to fall short
00:12:51.106 --> 00:12:58.647
and to live beneathGod's will for our life.
00:12:58.681 --> 00:13:04.653
And so we have toprogram ourselves
00:13:04.687 --> 00:13:07.590
and our mind for success.
00:13:07.623 --> 00:13:10.559
So you have to make up in yourmind that you're going to be
00:13:10.593 --> 00:13:12.995
led and you're going to makewise, prosperous decisions,
00:13:13.028 --> 00:13:19.969
because the Spirit of Godguides you into all truth.
00:13:20.002 --> 00:13:24.039
Turn to John 16, verse 13.
00:13:24.073 --> 00:13:27.543
Make up in your mind that,"The Spirit of God leads me,
00:13:27.576 --> 00:13:34.550
and the Spirit of God causes meto be filled with the wisdom of
00:13:34.583 --> 00:13:38.520
God and to be successfulin my endeavors."
00:13:38.554 --> 00:13:44.393
He says, "But when theSpirit of truth comes,
00:13:44.426 --> 00:13:46.629
he'll lead you into all truth."
00:13:46.662 --> 00:13:49.231
He will lead you into all truth.
00:13:49.265 --> 00:13:52.101
He will lead you into all truth.
00:13:52.134 --> 00:13:54.336
"He'll not speak his own words.
00:13:54.370 --> 00:13:56.305
He will speak onlywhat he hears,
00:13:56.338 --> 00:13:58.807
and he will tell you whatwill happen in the future."
00:13:58.841 --> 00:14:05.481
He'll tell you what willhappen in the future.
00:14:05.514 --> 00:14:08.150
And so that's whathappens when we allow
00:14:08.183 --> 00:14:11.587
the Spirit of God to lead us.
00:14:11.620 --> 00:14:14.690
I thought about PastorCarol this morning,
00:14:14.723 --> 00:14:16.325
one of our pastorsand ministers on staff.
00:14:16.358 --> 00:14:18.394
You know, she made up in hermind that she wasn't going to
00:14:18.427 --> 00:14:21.030
allow, you know, anything tocause her to get outside of
00:14:21.063 --> 00:14:25.801
the will of God.
00:14:25.834 --> 00:14:27.436
She wasn't going toallow any offense or any,
00:14:27.469 --> 00:14:31.407
you know, situation, any kindof circumstance to get her in
00:14:31.440 --> 00:14:35.778
a position whereshe would leave.
00:14:35.811 --> 00:14:38.280
And thankfully, she's one ofour pastors who oversees one
00:14:38.314 --> 00:14:42.217
of our campus churches.
00:14:42.251 --> 00:14:43.552
But you know what?
00:14:43.585 --> 00:14:44.887
I think as a result of makinga decision of quality and not
00:14:44.920 --> 00:14:52.227
allowing ourselves to be led offand to follow our temptations
00:14:52.261 --> 00:14:58.100
that we can be at the rightplace and at the right time.
00:14:58.133 --> 00:15:03.339
I'm reminded when Creflowent to Africa several--
00:15:03.372 --> 00:15:06.442
he was invited to go severalyears ago, and he'd gotten
00:15:06.475 --> 00:15:09.611
the invitation, and all of asudden the Spirit of the Lord
00:15:09.645 --> 00:15:12.481
said, "Don't go.It's not the time to go."
00:15:12.514 --> 00:15:17.553
And he told me about it, and Ithought it was a little strange,
00:15:17.586 --> 00:15:20.389
because I knew they wereexpecting him, and I'm sure
00:15:20.422 --> 00:15:22.491
they had laid out the red carpet
00:15:22.524 --> 00:15:24.393
and were looking forwardto him coming.
00:15:24.426 --> 00:15:26.662
But he said, "You know what?
00:15:26.695 --> 00:15:27.997
I don't havepeace about going."
00:15:28.030 --> 00:15:30.632
And that's the very thingthat preserved his life
00:15:30.666 --> 00:15:34.303
from destruction.
00:15:34.336 --> 00:15:36.538
There are many opportunities--
00:15:36.572 --> 00:15:38.273
well, many things that the enemyhas tried to arrange up to this
00:15:38.307 --> 00:15:43.045
point, but you know, the Spiritof the Lord will tell you about
00:15:43.078 --> 00:15:48.317
your future; whereto be, where to go,
00:15:48.350 --> 00:15:53.188
what to do, and he will causeyou to escape the traps and
00:15:53.222 --> 00:16:00.129
the snares of the enemy.
00:16:00.162 --> 00:16:03.665
I'll never forget.
00:16:03.699 --> 00:16:06.668
Probably about fouror five years ago,
00:16:06.702 --> 00:16:08.170
I had gotten thisinvitation to go to Paris.
00:16:08.203 --> 00:16:11.340
I was so excited about going,looking forward to going,
00:16:11.373 --> 00:16:15.944
and I accepted theinvitation to go.
00:16:15.978 --> 00:16:19.848
Really didn't spend a wholelot of time praying about it,
00:16:19.882 --> 00:16:22.084
be very frank andhonest with you.
00:16:22.117 --> 00:16:23.585
I just wanted to go to Parisbecause I'd never been and--
00:16:23.619 --> 00:16:25.954
had gone with my husband.
00:16:25.988 --> 00:16:27.289
He ministered there before.
00:16:27.322 --> 00:16:28.624
But I thought, "Man, thiswould be pretty cool."
00:16:28.657 --> 00:16:30.626
So, you know, gotsome friends together.
00:16:30.659 --> 00:16:32.961
We were all just excitedto go over there.
00:16:32.995 --> 00:16:35.197
When I got over there, it was aweirdest thing: my encounter,
00:16:35.230 --> 00:16:40.736
my exchange with the host, theevent that I went to that night
00:16:40.769 --> 00:16:45.107
in preparation to minister.
00:16:45.140 --> 00:16:48.277
They had this event going on,and then all of a sudden the
00:16:48.310 --> 00:16:51.180
event just kind of startedcoming to a close, and I'm
00:16:51.213 --> 00:16:53.215
thinking, "I'm supposedto get up and minister."
00:16:53.248 --> 00:16:55.751
And then all of a sudden theywere wrapping up the service.
00:16:55.784 --> 00:16:59.121
So I'm thinking, "Lord,this is so strange.
00:16:59.154 --> 00:17:01.223
You mean to tell me I havecome all the way from the
00:17:01.256 --> 00:17:04.893
United States toParis for this?"
00:17:04.927 --> 00:17:08.730
And the Lord said to me,"I didn't tell you to come.
00:17:08.764 --> 00:17:13.702
You decided youwanted to come."
00:17:13.735 --> 00:17:16.572
And I said from that point on, Idon't ever want to be where God
00:17:16.605 --> 00:17:23.545
doesn't want me to be.
00:17:23.579 --> 00:17:25.414
Every invite does not meanthat you need to accept.
00:17:25.447 --> 00:17:30.152
And so we have to, and I have toremind myself and recognize that
00:17:30.185 --> 00:17:37.659
I wanna be at the rightplace at the right time,
00:17:37.693 --> 00:17:41.497
because otherwise, it justbecomes very awkward,
00:17:41.530 --> 00:17:45.968
becomes very weird when we'replaces and in situations where
00:17:46.001 --> 00:17:54.243
God is not involved.
00:17:54.276 --> 00:17:58.113
And he wants us to acknowledgehim in all of our ways so that
00:17:58.147 --> 00:18:06.054
he can direct our path.
00:18:06.088 --> 00:18:11.527
And so when we allow addictionsand bad habits to entangle
00:18:11.560 --> 00:18:17.366
ourselves with people andsituations that cause us
00:18:17.399 --> 00:18:22.905
to get outside of his will, andthen we wonder why we're not
00:18:22.938 --> 00:18:28.177
experiencing the resultsthat he has for our life.
00:18:28.210 --> 00:18:35.450
Because he's not in it, andwe're not acknowledging him,
00:18:35.484 --> 00:18:39.721
and we're not allowing himthose God moments that we
00:18:39.755 --> 00:18:43.992
can experience his perfect planand what is best for our lives.
00:18:44.026 --> 00:18:50.365
Look at Romans chapter 12.
00:18:50.399 --> 00:18:51.700
I didn't have this in my notes,
00:18:51.733 --> 00:18:54.002
but I'm just led tokind of turn there.
00:18:54.036 --> 00:18:56.572
Verse 2, let's look at itfrom the Amplified Version.
00:18:56.605 --> 00:19:00.842
"Don't change yourselves to belike the people of this world,
00:19:00.876 --> 00:19:03.512
but let God change you inside."
00:19:03.545 --> 00:19:06.381
Let's look at the Amplified,not the Easy Reading Version.
00:19:06.415 --> 00:19:09.418
Let's look at AMPC.
00:19:09.451 --> 00:19:13.355
"Do not be conformedto this world,
00:19:13.388 --> 00:19:14.923
but be this age fashioned afterand adapted to his external
00:19:14.957 --> 00:19:19.361
superficial customs,but be transformed,
00:19:19.394 --> 00:19:22.731
changed by the entire renewalof your mind by its new ideals,
00:19:22.764 --> 00:19:28.937
its new attitude so that youcan prove for yourselves,"
00:19:28.971 --> 00:19:32.608
that's where I'm gettingto, "what is the good,
00:19:32.641 --> 00:19:35.944
acceptable, andperfect will of God,
00:19:35.978 --> 00:19:39.615
even the thing whichis good and acceptable
00:19:39.648 --> 00:19:44.753
in his sight for you."
00:19:44.786 --> 00:19:48.023
And so when we get a hold ofthis Word and we understand
00:19:48.056 --> 00:19:55.897
these God moments,these God happenings,
00:19:55.931 --> 00:19:59.034
it is a thing that is good.
00:19:59.067 --> 00:20:01.737
It says perfectwill for your life.
00:20:01.770 --> 00:20:05.407
It's God's best.
00:20:05.440 --> 00:20:06.875
It's God's highest.
00:20:06.908 --> 00:20:08.910
It's not getting outside of hiswill and just trying to make it
00:20:08.944 --> 00:20:12.681
seem like it's good.
00:20:12.714 --> 00:20:14.783
You know, I've seen peopleget into relationships,
00:20:14.816 --> 00:20:17.219
get all entangled with otherfolks and try to make it seem
00:20:17.252 --> 00:20:19.855
like it's God.
00:20:19.888 --> 00:20:21.290
But honey, when youexperience God's best,
00:20:21.323 --> 00:20:25.761
you don't have to makeit seem like anything.
00:20:25.794 --> 00:20:28.096
It is the highest.
00:20:28.130 --> 00:20:29.731
It is the best.
00:20:29.765 --> 00:20:31.533
You won't have totry to fix it up.
00:20:31.566 --> 00:20:35.070
It's already fixed up.
00:20:35.103 --> 00:20:37.439
And that's what you want, hiswill that is perfect for you:
00:20:37.472 --> 00:20:44.012
the perfect situation, I believethe perfect relationship,
00:20:44.046 --> 00:20:50.152
the right person tomarry, the right job,
00:20:50.185 --> 00:20:52.921
the right businessventure, the right thing.
00:20:52.954 --> 00:20:57.025
We're talking aboutopening ourselves up
00:20:57.059 --> 00:20:59.628
to God possibilities.
00:20:59.661 --> 00:21:01.563
We're not talking about overhere just doing things that
00:21:01.596 --> 00:21:03.732
are possible because we'rehuman, and we have intelligence,
00:21:03.765 --> 00:21:07.135
and we have intellect, we haveknowledge, and we have--
00:21:07.169 --> 00:21:10.639
gone to college,we've got a degree,
00:21:10.672 --> 00:21:12.674
and we understand howthings, you know, work.
00:21:12.708 --> 00:21:16.111
But I'm talkingabout beyond that.
00:21:16.144 --> 00:21:19.014
Renewing our mind,transform our thinking,
00:21:19.047 --> 00:21:21.483
getting rid of thelimitations of the world,
00:21:21.516 --> 00:21:25.721
and getting over here toGod's best for your life.
00:21:25.754 --> 00:21:30.692
And that's what myprayer is for you.
00:21:30.726 --> 00:21:35.530
And when we beginto experience that,
00:21:35.564 --> 00:21:40.001
we'll live like God wants us tolive, and we'll experience what
00:21:40.035 --> 00:21:46.108
God wants us to experience.
00:21:46.141 --> 00:21:48.377
We'll encounter what Godwants us to encounter in
00:21:48.410 --> 00:21:53.849
our relationships, inour financial affairs,
00:21:53.882 --> 00:21:57.185
our financial portfolio,our body, our mind.
00:21:57.219 --> 00:22:02.657
God's highest and God'sbest will be open unto us,
00:22:02.691 --> 00:22:09.898
and we'll avoid being in thatplace of hurt and unforgiveness,
00:22:09.931 --> 00:22:15.537
bitterness, resentment.
00:22:15.570 --> 00:22:18.473
When you're in that place,
00:22:18.507 --> 00:22:20.976
that's the wrong place tobe in and then in result
00:22:21.009 --> 00:22:24.946
you'll experiencethe wrong things.
00:22:24.980 --> 00:22:27.649
Just like David wasin the wrong place.
00:22:27.682 --> 00:22:30.252
He was in lust, and thatgave him the wrong results.
00:22:30.285 --> 00:22:34.589
And just like in hurt,in unforgiveness,
00:22:34.623 --> 00:22:37.559
that's the wrong place.
00:22:37.592 --> 00:22:39.094
You'll get the wrong results.
00:22:39.127 --> 00:22:40.929
To stay in a place of anger--
00:22:40.962 --> 00:22:44.833
the Bible says, "Be yeangry and sin not."
00:22:44.866 --> 00:22:49.271
And we know that in this earthlybody there'll be emotions and
00:22:49.304 --> 00:22:52.707
things, but you've gottabe quick to set your will
00:22:52.741 --> 00:22:55.577
to forgive and let things goand not allow negative things,
00:22:55.610 --> 00:23:01.750
negative beliefs about peopleand about situations to cause
00:23:01.783 --> 00:23:07.189
us to be--to livebeneath God's best.
00:23:07.222 --> 00:23:13.261
I remember several years agowhen I was led to go to South
00:23:13.295 --> 00:23:19.801
Africa, and I was wanting tounderstand more about this
00:23:19.835 --> 00:23:22.637
teaching of biblical equality,
00:23:22.671 --> 00:23:24.139
and I really wantedto get a hold of it.
00:23:24.172 --> 00:23:26.107
I had just a snippet about it,but I really wanted to immerse
00:23:26.141 --> 00:23:30.545
myself in the teachingand was led to go.
00:23:30.579 --> 00:23:36.151
And you know what?
00:23:36.184 --> 00:23:38.386
There were so many things thatwere opposing me going there
00:23:38.420 --> 00:23:41.623
and just didn't seem like theright decision to make because
00:23:41.656 --> 00:23:45.494
of the cost to fly andjust not the right time.
00:23:45.527 --> 00:23:50.265
We had a lot of thingsgoing on at that time.
00:23:50.298 --> 00:23:53.401
But you know what?
00:23:53.435 --> 00:23:54.736
I just felt led from my spirit.
00:23:54.769 --> 00:23:58.974
My spirit washungering for this.
00:23:59.007 --> 00:24:02.377
I knew I needed it.
00:24:02.410 --> 00:24:05.514
I knew that it couldhelp not just my life
00:24:05.547 --> 00:24:08.517
but it could help otherpeople, other families,
00:24:08.550 --> 00:24:12.220
other relationships.
00:24:12.254 --> 00:24:13.755
And I thought, "Perhaps--ifthis could change my life and
00:24:13.788 --> 00:24:19.227
be everything thatI think it could be,
00:24:19.261 --> 00:24:22.964
it could be the very thingthat could change other
00:24:22.998 --> 00:24:25.000
people's lives too."
00:24:25.033 --> 00:24:27.569
So I made a decisionand prayed about it,
00:24:27.602 --> 00:24:31.273
and the Lord said, "Go."
00:24:31.306 --> 00:24:34.576
And thankfully, I'm telling you,that has been a God encounter,
00:24:34.609 --> 00:24:40.348
a God happening, and I'm sothankful for that revelation.
00:24:40.382 --> 00:24:46.187
And sometimes you have to dowhat others don't understand,
00:24:46.221 --> 00:24:52.561
what others don't see asbeing vital for your life,
00:24:52.594 --> 00:24:57.232
but you have tomake that decision
00:24:57.265 --> 00:24:59.100
that "I am going to bewhere God wants me to be."
00:24:59.134 --> 00:25:06.474
female announcer: Are you at acrossroad looking for direction
00:25:06.508 --> 00:25:08.577
on which path to take?
00:25:08.610 --> 00:25:09.978
God seeks to give you divinedirection and guide you to his
00:25:10.011 --> 00:25:13.214
best for you.
