Pastor matt hagee: everyone
00:00:13.908 --> 00:00:14.942
Pastor matt hagee: everyone is investing all of the time
00:00:15.009 --> 00:00:17.645
Is investing all of the time in something.
00:00:17.711 --> 00:00:19.447
In something. people wanna use the word
00:00:19.513 --> 00:00:20.548
People wanna use the word "investment" and isolate it
00:00:20.614 --> 00:00:21.916
"investment" and isolate it simply to a financial exchange,
00:00:21.982 --> 00:00:23.818
Simply to a financial exchange, and it has an application there,
00:00:23.884 --> 00:00:25.820
And it has an application there, but everything in your life is
00:00:25.886 --> 00:00:27.988
But everything in your life is some measure of an investment.
00:00:28.055 --> 00:00:30.224
Some measure of an investment. because an investment defined
00:00:30.291 --> 00:00:32.059
Because an investment defined is when you put something
00:00:32.126 --> 00:00:33.394
Is when you put something to work with an expectation
00:00:33.461 --> 00:00:36.263
To work with an expectation that it is going to grow.
00:00:36.330 --> 00:00:39.433
That it is going to grow. when you don't see the return
00:00:39.500 --> 00:00:40.801
When you don't see the return that you expected,
00:00:40.868 --> 00:00:42.136
That you expected, immediately what happens
00:00:42.203 --> 00:00:43.537
Immediately what happens is you become disappointed,
00:00:43.604 --> 00:00:44.939
Is you become disappointed, and you lose hope.
00:00:45.005 --> 00:00:47.475
And you lose hope. but this morning,
00:00:47.541 --> 00:00:48.242
But this morning, the bible is giving us
00:00:48.309 --> 00:00:49.176
The bible is giving us a very clear picture
00:00:49.243 --> 00:00:50.344
A very clear picture about where we are
00:00:50.411 --> 00:00:51.479
About where we are to make our investment, heart,
00:00:51.545 --> 00:00:53.447
To make our investment, heart, soul, mind, and body,
00:00:53.514 --> 00:00:55.249
Soul, mind, and body, and never lose hope,
00:00:55.316 --> 00:00:56.851
And never lose hope, and that is in god,
00:00:56.917 --> 00:00:59.420
And that is in god, because that hope
00:00:59.487 --> 00:01:00.621
Because that hope does not disappoint.
00:01:00.688 --> 00:01:03.691
Does not disappoint. people lose hope,
00:01:03.757 --> 00:01:04.825
People lose hope, not because hope is the problem,
00:01:04.892 --> 00:01:06.594
Not because hope is the problem, people lose hope because
00:01:06.660 --> 00:01:08.028
People lose hope because the thing that they put
00:01:08.095 --> 00:01:08.996
The thing that they put their hope in fails.
00:01:09.063 --> 00:01:11.765
Their hope in fails. the problem is not with hope,
00:01:11.832 --> 00:01:13.267
The problem is not with hope, the problem is where you put it.
00:01:13.334 --> 00:01:15.836
The problem is where you put it. romans 5:5 tells us
00:01:15.903 --> 00:01:17.271
Romans 5:5 tells us very clearly "hope in god,"
00:01:17.338 --> 00:01:19.440
Very clearly "hope in god," because that hope
00:01:19.507 --> 00:01:20.708
Because that hope does not disappoint.
00:01:20.774 --> 00:01:22.710
Does not disappoint. our god never fails.
00:01:22.776 --> 00:01:24.778
Our god never fails. our god is the god who has been
00:01:24.845 --> 00:01:27.114
Our god is the god who has been our help in all ages past.
00:01:27.181 --> 00:01:29.083
Our help in all ages past. his mercies,
00:01:29.150 --> 00:01:30.151
His mercies, they fail not.
00:01:30.217 --> 00:01:31.118
They fail not. his faithfulness is
00:01:31.185 --> 00:01:32.319
His faithfulness is from generation to generation.
00:01:32.386 --> 00:01:34.421
From generation to generation. the bible literally says
00:01:34.488 --> 00:01:35.956
The bible literally says there is no shadow
00:01:36.023 --> 00:01:37.224
There is no shadow or variation of turning in him.
00:01:37.291 --> 00:01:39.393
Or variation of turning in him. that means he was good then,
00:01:39.460 --> 00:01:41.228
That means he was good then, he's good now,
00:01:41.295 --> 00:01:42.429
He's good now, and he'll be good forever.
00:01:42.496 --> 00:01:44.064
And he'll be good forever. our hope is in a god
00:01:44.131 --> 00:01:45.966
Our hope is in a god who is a rock and a fortress
00:01:46.033 --> 00:01:48.169
Who is a rock and a fortress and a shield of defense.
00:01:48.235 --> 00:01:49.737
And a shield of defense. don't put your hope in a
00:01:49.803 --> 00:01:51.071
Don't put your hope in a candidate, they'll let you down.
00:01:51.138 --> 00:01:53.274
Candidate, they'll let you down. don't put your hope
00:01:53.340 --> 00:01:54.408
Don't put your hope in the economy,
00:01:54.475 --> 00:01:55.409
In the economy, it will fail you.
00:01:55.476 --> 00:01:56.577
It will fail you. put your hope in
00:01:56.644 --> 00:01:57.778
Put your hope in the love of god that has
00:01:57.845 --> 00:01:59.280
The love of god that has redeemed you because
00:01:59.346 --> 00:02:00.681
Redeemed you because his love never fails.
00:02:00.748 --> 00:02:02.349
[applause]
00:02:03.050 --> 00:02:04.852
Today, i want you
00:02:08.022 --> 00:02:08.822
Today, i want you to go with me to exodus 2:24-25.
00:02:08.889 --> 00:02:13.027
To go with me to exodus 2:24-25. and very quickly,
00:02:13.093 --> 00:02:13.827
And very quickly, we're gonna see four assurances
00:02:13.894 --> 00:02:16.263
We're gonna see four assurances that give you the confidence
00:02:16.330 --> 00:02:17.331
That give you the confidence you need to put
00:02:17.398 --> 00:02:18.265
You need to put your hope in god.
00:02:18.332 --> 00:02:21.001
Your hope in god. i picked these verses
00:02:21.068 --> 00:02:22.036
I picked these verses because this is where
00:02:22.102 --> 00:02:22.870
Because this is where all four of these attributes
00:02:22.937 --> 00:02:25.539
All four of these attributes and applications of god
00:02:25.606 --> 00:02:27.341
And applications of god can be found in one space,
00:02:27.408 --> 00:02:29.076
Can be found in one space, but you read about these things
00:02:29.143 --> 00:02:30.711
But you read about these things throughout all of scripture.
00:02:30.778 --> 00:02:32.813
Throughout all of scripture. this is not where
00:02:32.880 --> 00:02:33.414
This is not where they're isolated,
00:02:33.480 --> 00:02:34.148
They're isolated, this is just some place
00:02:34.215 --> 00:02:35.382
This is just some place where we can focus on them.
00:02:35.449 --> 00:02:36.984
Where we can focus on them. but in exodus 2:24-25,
00:02:37.051 --> 00:02:39.753
But in exodus 2:24-25, we read these words,
00:02:39.820 --> 00:02:41.488
We read these words, "so god heard,"
00:02:41.555 --> 00:02:43.090
"so god heard," somebody say "heard."
00:02:43.157 --> 00:02:44.358
Somebody say "heard." >> congregation: heard.
00:02:44.425 --> 00:02:45.226
>> congregation: heard. pastor matt: "he heard
00:02:45.292 --> 00:02:45.759
Pastor matt: "he heard their groaning,
00:02:45.826 --> 00:02:46.460
Their groaning, and he remembered,"
00:02:46.527 --> 00:02:47.561
And he remembered," say "remembered."
00:02:47.628 --> 00:02:48.529
Say "remembered." >> congregation: remembered.
00:02:48.596 --> 00:02:49.530
>> congregation: remembered. pastor matt: his covenant
00:02:49.597 --> 00:02:50.264
Pastor matt: his covenant with abraham,
00:02:50.331 --> 00:02:50.998
With abraham, and isaac, and jacob.
00:02:51.065 --> 00:02:52.833
And isaac, and jacob. and god looked,"
00:02:52.900 --> 00:02:53.867
And god looked," say "looked."
00:02:53.934 --> 00:02:54.768
Say "looked." >> congregation: looked.
00:02:54.835 --> 00:02:55.603
>> congregation: looked. pastor matt: "upon his
00:02:55.669 --> 00:02:56.136
Pastor matt: "upon his children of israel,
00:02:56.203 --> 00:02:57.471
Children of israel, and god acknowledged them."
00:02:57.538 --> 00:03:00.574
And god acknowledged them." here we see four things
00:03:00.641 --> 00:03:02.443
Here we see four things that give you confidence
00:03:02.509 --> 00:03:03.544
That give you confidence in putting your hope in god.
00:03:03.611 --> 00:03:04.712
In putting your hope in god. first, he hears you.
00:03:04.778 --> 00:03:07.715
First, he hears you. it says, "god heard."
00:03:07.781 --> 00:03:10.517
It says, "god heard." you can have hope in a god
00:03:10.584 --> 00:03:12.453
You can have hope in a god who listens to you.
00:03:12.519 --> 00:03:14.888
Who listens to you. when you open your mouth
00:03:14.955 --> 00:03:15.823
When you open your mouth and you cry "abba father,"
00:03:15.889 --> 00:03:17.191
And you cry "abba father," he doesn't hear
00:03:17.258 --> 00:03:17.925
He doesn't hear the voice of a sinner,
00:03:17.992 --> 00:03:18.959
The voice of a sinner, he hears the voice
00:03:19.026 --> 00:03:19.860
He hears the voice of one of his own children.
00:03:19.927 --> 00:03:23.230
Of one of his own children. the bible says in exodus 2,
00:03:23.297 --> 00:03:24.932
The bible says in exodus 2, "god heard their groaning."
00:03:24.999 --> 00:03:28.102
"god heard their groaning." now, understand this,
00:03:28.168 --> 00:03:29.169
Now, understand this, it's not the groaning
00:03:29.236 --> 00:03:30.504
It's not the groaning that gets god's attention.
00:03:30.571 --> 00:03:33.907
That gets god's attention. because if groaning
00:03:33.974 --> 00:03:34.775
Because if groaning got god's attention,
00:03:34.842 --> 00:03:35.576
Got god's attention, some of you would be
00:03:35.643 --> 00:03:36.277
Some of you would be his favorite kid.
00:03:36.343 --> 00:03:40.414
His favorite kid. israel had groaned
00:03:40.481 --> 00:03:41.382
Israel had groaned for 400 years,
00:03:41.448 --> 00:03:43.517
For 400 years, and they were groaning
00:03:43.584 --> 00:03:44.318
And they were groaning because they were underneath
00:03:44.385 --> 00:03:45.252
Because they were underneath the weight of slavery in egypt.
00:03:45.319 --> 00:03:48.822
The weight of slavery in egypt. god heard them because the time
00:03:48.889 --> 00:03:52.226
God heard them because the time for his investment
00:03:52.293 --> 00:03:53.494
For his investment in them had come.
00:03:53.560 --> 00:03:56.530
In them had come. god hears you.
00:03:56.597 --> 00:03:58.599
God hears you. proverbs 15:29, it says,
00:03:58.666 --> 00:04:00.200
Proverbs 15:29, it says, "the lord is
00:04:00.267 --> 00:04:00.834
"the lord is far from the wicked,
00:04:00.901 --> 00:04:01.702
Far from the wicked, but he hears the prayers
00:04:01.769 --> 00:04:03.570
But he hears the prayers of the righteous."
00:04:03.637 --> 00:04:05.673
Of the righteous." 1 john 5:14,
00:04:05.739 --> 00:04:07.574
1 john 5:14, it says,
00:04:07.641 --> 00:04:08.075
It says, "now this is the confidence
00:04:08.142 --> 00:04:09.176
"now this is the confidence we have in him if we ask
00:04:09.243 --> 00:04:11.211
We have in him if we ask anything according
00:04:11.278 --> 00:04:13.013
Anything according to his will, he," what?
00:04:13.080 --> 00:04:15.115
To his will, he," what? "he hears us."
00:04:15.182 --> 00:04:18.152
"he hears us." where is god's will?
00:04:18.218 --> 00:04:19.586
Where is god's will? god's will is found
00:04:19.653 --> 00:04:20.454
God's will is found in god's word.
00:04:20.521 --> 00:04:21.722
In god's word. which means that whenever
00:04:21.789 --> 00:04:22.756
Which means that whenever you ask anything according
00:04:22.823 --> 00:04:24.391
You ask anything according to god's word,
00:04:24.458 --> 00:04:25.659
To god's word, he will listen to you.
00:04:25.726 --> 00:04:27.494
He will listen to you. isaiah told us that
00:04:27.561 --> 00:04:28.629
Isaiah told us that "god's word will
00:04:28.696 --> 00:04:29.496
"god's word will not return void,
00:04:29.563 --> 00:04:30.364
Not return void, but it will accomplish
00:04:30.431 --> 00:04:31.231
But it will accomplish the purpose
00:04:31.298 --> 00:04:31.932
The purpose for which he sent it."
00:04:31.999 --> 00:04:33.000
For which he sent it." if you're looking for healing,
00:04:33.067 --> 00:04:34.501
If you're looking for healing, healing is in god's word.
00:04:34.568 --> 00:04:36.103
Healing is in god's word. if you're looking for peace
00:04:36.170 --> 00:04:37.371
If you're looking for peace of mind in this world of chaos,
00:04:37.438 --> 00:04:39.139
Of mind in this world of chaos, there is peace that surpasses
00:04:39.206 --> 00:04:40.407
There is peace that surpasses all understanding in god's word.
00:04:40.474 --> 00:04:42.409
All understanding in god's word. if you need power
00:04:42.476 --> 00:04:43.477
If you need power and strength in
00:04:43.544 --> 00:04:44.211
And strength in a moment of weakness,
00:04:44.278 --> 00:04:45.346
A moment of weakness, ephesians 6:10 says
00:04:45.412 --> 00:04:47.114
Ephesians 6:10 says "be strong in the lord
00:04:47.181 --> 00:04:48.515
"be strong in the lord and in the power of his might."
00:04:48.582 --> 00:04:49.983
And in the power of his might." how does god uphold
00:04:50.050 --> 00:04:51.752
How does god uphold all things?
00:04:51.819 --> 00:04:52.753
All things? he upholds all things
00:04:52.820 --> 00:04:54.722
He upholds all things through his word.
00:04:54.788 --> 00:04:55.689
Through his word. so today,
00:04:55.756 --> 00:04:56.623
So today, he's upholding your life
00:04:56.690 --> 00:04:58.058
He's upholding your life based upon his word.
00:04:58.125 --> 00:04:59.593
Based upon his word. there's provision in his word,
00:04:59.660 --> 00:05:01.795
There's provision in his word, there's protection in his word,
00:05:01.862 --> 00:05:03.931
There's protection in his word, there's deliverance in his word,
00:05:03.997 --> 00:05:05.899
There's deliverance in his word, there is triumph in his word.

There is triumph in his word. child of god,
00:05:08.268 --> 00:05:09.169
Child of god, whatever you need today,
00:05:09.236 --> 00:05:10.604
Whatever you need today, trust in the lord
00:05:10.671 --> 00:05:11.605
Trust in the lord with all of your heart,
00:05:11.672 --> 00:05:12.740
With all of your heart, lean not to your
00:05:12.806 --> 00:05:13.607
Lean not to your own understandings,
00:05:13.674 --> 00:05:14.742
Own understandings, in all of your ways
00:05:14.808 --> 00:05:16.043
In all of your ways acknowledge him,
00:05:16.110 --> 00:05:17.044
Acknowledge him, and he will direct your path.
00:05:17.111 --> 00:05:19.179
And he will direct your path. your barns will burst
00:05:19.246 --> 00:05:20.714
Your barns will burst with plenty,
00:05:20.781 --> 00:05:21.482
With plenty, and your vats will overflow
00:05:21.548 --> 00:05:23.050
And your vats will overflow with new wine because that's
00:05:23.117 --> 00:05:24.918
With new wine because that's the kind of god
00:05:24.985 --> 00:05:25.786
The kind of god that we serve.
00:05:25.853 --> 00:05:26.387
[applause]
00:05:26.954 --> 00:05:31.425
You can hope in god
00:05:32.126 --> 00:05:33.260
You can hope in god because he hears you.
00:05:33.327 --> 00:05:35.462
Because he hears you. and exodus 2 tells us
00:05:35.529 --> 00:05:36.964
And exodus 2 tells us that god also remembers you.
00:05:37.030 --> 00:05:40.834
That god also remembers you. it says,
00:05:40.901 --> 00:05:41.235
It says, "and god remembered."
00:05:41.301 --> 00:05:43.504
"and god remembered." over and over you read
00:05:43.570 --> 00:05:44.505
Over and over you read in the bible god
00:05:44.571 --> 00:05:45.539
In the bible god remembering people.
00:05:45.606 --> 00:05:46.540
Remembering people. he remembered noah in the ark,
00:05:46.607 --> 00:05:48.308
He remembered noah in the ark, he remembered rachel who cried
00:05:48.375 --> 00:05:49.810
He remembered rachel who cried out for a child,
00:05:49.877 --> 00:05:50.778
Out for a child, he remembered his covenant
00:05:50.844 --> 00:05:52.146
He remembered his covenant in this passage with abraham,
00:05:52.212 --> 00:05:54.281
In this passage with abraham, and with isaac,
00:05:54.348 --> 00:05:55.382
And with isaac, and with jacob.
00:05:55.449 --> 00:05:57.351
And with jacob. god remembered
00:05:57.418 --> 00:05:58.352
God remembered the children of israel,
00:05:58.419 --> 00:05:59.119
The children of israel, not because they were groaning.
00:05:59.186 --> 00:06:01.889
Not because they were groaning. he remembered the children
00:06:01.955 --> 00:06:02.790
He remembered the children of israel,
00:06:02.856 --> 00:06:03.424
Of israel, not because of the circumstance.
00:06:03.490 --> 00:06:05.993
Not because of the circumstance. he remembered the children
00:06:06.059 --> 00:06:07.094
He remembered the children of israel because of a covenant
00:06:07.161 --> 00:06:08.829
Of israel because of a covenant promise that he
00:06:08.896 --> 00:06:09.930
Promise that he had made years ago.
00:06:09.997 --> 00:06:14.168
Had made years ago. and this is important
00:06:14.234 --> 00:06:15.035
And this is important for us to connect how god
00:06:15.102 --> 00:06:16.637
For us to connect how god remembers and why he remembers,
00:06:16.703 --> 00:06:18.305
Remembers and why he remembers, because he doesn't
00:06:18.372 --> 00:06:19.206
Because he doesn't remember like we do.
00:06:19.273 --> 00:06:21.308
Remember like we do. we remember because we forget.
00:06:21.375 --> 00:06:23.277
We remember because we forget. god forgets nothing.
00:06:23.343 --> 00:06:25.679
God forgets nothing. so, when god
00:06:25.746 --> 00:06:26.313
So, when god remembers something,
00:06:26.380 --> 00:06:27.080
Remembers something, he doesn't remember
00:06:27.147 --> 00:06:27.948
He doesn't remember it because he forgot,
00:06:28.015 --> 00:06:29.216
It because he forgot, he remembers it because
00:06:29.283 --> 00:06:30.851
He remembers it because it has now come time
00:06:30.918 --> 00:06:32.519
It has now come time for what he promised
00:06:32.586 --> 00:06:33.887
For what he promised to come to pass.
00:06:33.954 --> 00:06:36.356
To come to pass. look at what the bible says
00:06:36.423 --> 00:06:37.591
Look at what the bible says about when christ came.
00:06:37.658 --> 00:06:39.927
About when christ came. galatians 4:4,
00:06:39.993 --> 00:06:41.228
Galatians 4:4, it says "in the fullness of,"
00:06:41.295 --> 00:06:43.096
It says "in the fullness of," what?
00:06:43.163 --> 00:06:43.430
What? "time, god sent forth his
00:06:43.497 --> 00:06:46.166
"time, god sent forth his only begotten son."
00:06:46.233 --> 00:06:47.167
Only begotten son." he promised jesus in genesis 3.
00:06:47.234 --> 00:06:51.505
He promised jesus in genesis 3. revelation actually says
00:06:51.572 --> 00:06:52.873
Revelation actually says that he was the lamb of god
00:06:52.940 --> 00:06:54.241
That he was the lamb of god before the foundations
00:06:54.308 --> 00:06:55.676
Before the foundations of the world.
00:06:55.742 --> 00:06:56.376
Of the world. so, before genesis 1,
00:06:56.443 --> 00:06:58.445
So, before genesis 1, god knew that jesus
00:06:58.512 --> 00:06:59.713
God knew that jesus was going to come.
00:06:59.780 --> 00:07:00.881
Was going to come. he promised adam and eve
00:07:00.948 --> 00:07:02.382
He promised adam and eve the seed of the woman
00:07:02.449 --> 00:07:03.083
The seed of the woman would crush the head
00:07:03.150 --> 00:07:03.817
Would crush the head of the serpent.
00:07:03.884 --> 00:07:04.518
Of the serpent. and do you think
00:07:04.585 --> 00:07:05.185
And do you think he forgot for 2,000 years?
00:07:05.252 --> 00:07:07.821
He forgot for 2,000 years? no.
00:07:07.888 --> 00:07:08.989
No. it just wasn't time
00:07:09.056 --> 00:07:10.123
It just wasn't time for jesus to come,
00:07:10.190 --> 00:07:11.391
For jesus to come, but in the fullness of time,
00:07:11.458 --> 00:07:13.760
But in the fullness of time, when the moment was right,
00:07:13.827 --> 00:07:14.862
When the moment was right, when everything was in place,
00:07:14.928 --> 00:07:16.530
When everything was in place, when every promise of the past
00:07:16.597 --> 00:07:18.265
When every promise of the past had been fulfilled,
00:07:18.332 --> 00:07:19.099
Had been fulfilled, when everything for the future
00:07:19.166 --> 00:07:20.567
When everything for the future was in order,
00:07:20.634 --> 00:07:21.535
Was in order, when the present moment came,
00:07:21.602 --> 00:07:23.036
When the present moment came, that's when god did
00:07:23.103 --> 00:07:24.371
That's when god did what he said he would do,
00:07:24.438 --> 00:07:25.672
What he said he would do, even if it had to last
00:07:25.739 --> 00:07:27.307
Even if it had to last for 2,000 years.
00:07:27.374 --> 00:07:29.710
For 2,000 years. our problem is we come
00:07:29.776 --> 00:07:31.044
Our problem is we come to second service at 11 o'clock
00:07:31.111 --> 00:07:33.046
To second service at 11 o'clock and we want god's answer
00:07:33.113 --> 00:07:34.314
And we want god's answer by 2 o'clock before
00:07:34.381 --> 00:07:35.682
By 2 o'clock before we get home from lunch.
00:07:35.749 --> 00:07:39.152
We get home from lunch. that's not how god
00:07:39.219 --> 00:07:39.953
That's not how god remembers you.
00:07:40.020 --> 00:07:40.787
Remembers you. he doesn't do what
00:07:40.854 --> 00:07:41.722
He doesn't do what he does on your schedule,
00:07:41.788 --> 00:07:43.557
He does on your schedule, he does it when
00:07:43.624 --> 00:07:44.625
He does it when it's the right time.
00:07:44.691 --> 00:07:45.959
It's the right time. in the fullness of time,
00:07:46.026 --> 00:07:47.995
In the fullness of time, god will keep his
00:07:48.061 --> 00:07:49.096
God will keep his word in your life.
00:07:49.162 --> 00:07:50.197
Word in your life. in the fullness of time,
00:07:50.264 --> 00:07:51.999
In the fullness of time, he will perform every promise.
00:07:52.065 --> 00:07:53.800
He will perform every promise. in the fullness of time,
00:07:53.867 --> 00:07:55.369
In the fullness of time, he will fix the problem
00:07:55.435 --> 00:07:56.703
He will fix the problem that you've been praying about.
00:07:56.770 --> 00:07:57.905
That you've been praying about. in the fullness of time,
00:07:57.971 --> 00:07:59.373
In the fullness of time, he'll move that mountain
00:07:59.439 --> 00:08:00.774
He'll move that mountain that you've been staring at.
00:08:00.841 --> 00:08:02.009
That you've been staring at. in the fullness of time,
00:08:02.075 --> 00:08:03.510
In the fullness of time, he'll restore the broken
00:08:03.577 --> 00:08:04.678
He'll restore the broken pieces that you need restored.
00:08:04.745 --> 00:08:06.246
Pieces that you need restored. in the fullness of time,
00:08:06.313 --> 00:08:07.581
In the fullness of time, he will do everything
00:08:07.648 --> 00:08:09.216
He will do everything that he has ever said
00:08:09.283 --> 00:08:10.651
That he has ever said because my god is not a man
00:08:10.717 --> 00:08:12.619
Because my god is not a man that he should lie.
00:08:12.686 --> 00:08:13.587
[applause]
00:08:14.354 --> 00:08:19.993
That's why paul said
00:08:20.460 --> 00:08:21.061
That's why paul said in galatians,
00:08:21.128 --> 00:08:21.728
In galatians, "do not grow weary
00:08:21.795 --> 00:08:22.930
"do not grow weary in well doing,
00:08:22.996 --> 00:08:24.698
In well doing, for in due season,"
00:08:24.765 --> 00:08:27.267
For in due season," in due season.
00:08:27.334 --> 00:08:28.769
In due season. god has a season for you.
00:08:28.835 --> 00:08:32.072
God has a season for you. and just because it hasn't
00:08:32.139 --> 00:08:32.906
And just because it hasn't come yet doesn't mean that he's
00:08:32.973 --> 00:08:34.474
Come yet doesn't mean that he's forgotten you,
00:08:34.541 --> 00:08:35.576
Forgotten you, it just means it's not time.
00:08:35.642 --> 00:08:39.947
It just means it's not time. in the fullness of time,
00:08:40.013 --> 00:08:41.882
In the fullness of time, you will reap.
00:08:41.949 --> 00:08:43.183
You will reap. don't lose heart.

And he remembers you. the third reason that
00:08:47.754 --> 00:08:48.455
The third reason that you can hope in god
00:08:48.522 --> 00:08:49.423
You can hope in god is because god sees you.
00:08:49.489 --> 00:08:52.693
Is because god sees you. it says,
00:08:52.759 --> 00:08:53.126
It says, "god heard, god remembered,"
00:08:53.193 --> 00:08:54.561
"god heard, god remembered," and then it says,
00:08:54.628 --> 00:08:55.195
And then it says, "and god looked upon
00:08:55.262 --> 00:08:56.396
"and god looked upon the children of israel."
00:08:56.463 --> 00:08:58.699
The children of israel." you can put your hope

Proverbs 5 reminds us that the ways of man are before
00:09:03.870 --> 00:09:05.505
The ways of man are before the eyes of the lord.
00:09:05.572 --> 00:09:06.707
The eyes of the lord. 1 peter 3 says,
00:09:06.773 --> 00:09:08.175
1 peter 3 says, "the eyes of the lord
00:09:08.241 --> 00:09:09.843
"the eyes of the lord are on the righteous
00:09:09.910 --> 00:09:10.644
Are on the righteous and his ears are open
00:09:10.711 --> 00:09:12.379
And his ears are open to their prayers."

To their prayers." god sees everything

This is a powerful thing. what good is it

What good is it to have a god
00:09:56.857 --> 00:09:57.457
To have a god who sees everything,
00:09:57.524 --> 00:09:58.358
Who sees everything, hears everything,
00:09:58.425 --> 00:09:59.159
Hears everything, and can do everything,
00:09:59.226 --> 00:10:00.027
And can do everything, but he doesn't pay
00:10:00.093 --> 00:10:00.761
But he doesn't pay any attention to you?
00:10:00.827 --> 00:10:03.030
Any attention to you? i know people who say
00:10:03.096 --> 00:10:04.331
I know people who say all the time,
00:10:04.398 --> 00:10:04.931
All the time, "oh, i know this person,
00:10:04.998 --> 00:10:05.999
"oh, i know this person, and i know this person."
00:10:06.066 --> 00:10:06.867

And they're talking about influential people in government
00:10:07.501 --> 00:10:09.736
Influential people in government or they're talking about
00:10:09.803 --> 00:10:10.404

00:10:10.470 --> 00:10:11.905
Influential people in business. and as much as they may or may
00:10:11.972 --> 00:10:13.974
And as much as they may or may not know about that individual,

"oh, i know the president." who cares if he won't
00:10:22.249 --> 00:10:23.250
Who cares if he won't let you in the office?
00:10:23.316 --> 00:10:27.754
Let you in the office? "i know this individual."
00:10:27.821 --> 00:10:28.588
"i know this individual." who cares if they don't
00:10:28.655 --> 00:10:29.556
Who cares if they don't even pay attention to you?
00:10:29.623 --> 00:10:33.160
Even pay attention to you? but you can hope in god because
00:10:33.226 --> 00:10:34.895
But you can hope in god because he acknowledges you.
00:10:34.961 --> 00:10:37.397
He acknowledges you. as much as he sees,
00:10:37.464 --> 00:10:38.231
As much as he sees, as much as he hears,
00:10:38.298 --> 00:10:39.499
As much as he hears, as much as he knows,
00:10:39.566 --> 00:10:40.300
As much as he knows, whenever you call him,
00:10:40.367 --> 00:10:41.535
Whenever you call him, he stops everything
00:10:41.601 --> 00:10:42.436
He stops everything and turns his attention
00:10:42.502 --> 00:10:43.537
And turns his attention your direction.
00:10:43.603 --> 00:10:45.205
Your direction. this is why david said,
00:10:45.272 --> 00:10:46.006
This is why david said, "hope in god
00:10:46.073 --> 00:10:47.040
"hope in god for i shall yet praise him
00:10:47.107 --> 00:10:48.475
For i shall yet praise him for the help
00:10:48.542 --> 00:10:49.476
For the help of his countenance."
00:10:49.543 --> 00:10:50.677
Of his countenance." his countenance is his face,
00:10:50.744 --> 00:10:52.612
His countenance is his face, and what david was saying is,
00:10:52.679 --> 00:10:53.780
And what david was saying is, "i have a hope in a god
00:10:53.847 --> 00:10:55.282
"i have a hope in a god that when i call on him,
00:10:55.348 --> 00:10:56.717
That when i call on him, he turns my direction,
00:10:56.783 --> 00:10:58.351
He turns my direction, and he looks my way."
00:10:58.418 --> 00:11:00.487
And he looks my way." god is faithful.
00:11:00.554 --> 00:11:01.922
God is faithful. he will not allow you
00:11:01.988 --> 00:11:03.190
He will not allow you to be tempted beyond
00:11:03.256 --> 00:11:04.224
To be tempted beyond what you can bear.
00:11:04.291 --> 00:11:05.158
What you can bear. he acknowledges you.
00:11:05.225 --> 00:11:06.226
He acknowledges you. he knows all about you.
00:11:06.293 --> 00:11:08.095
He knows all about you. he knew you before you
00:11:08.161 --> 00:11:09.429
He knew you before you were formed in the womb.
00:11:09.496 --> 00:11:10.630
Were formed in the womb. he actually said that he knit
00:11:10.697 --> 00:11:12.466
He actually said that he knit your body together
00:11:12.532 --> 00:11:13.834
Your body together and he understands
00:11:13.900 --> 00:11:14.968
And he understands your most intimate things.
00:11:15.035 --> 00:11:16.570
Your most intimate things. how can you not put a hope
00:11:16.636 --> 00:11:18.071
How can you not put a hope in a god who misses nothing?
00:11:18.138 --> 00:11:21.341
In a god who misses nothing? if god missed something,
00:11:21.408 --> 00:11:22.809
If god missed something, how could we say we know
00:11:22.876 --> 00:11:24.478
How could we say we know all things work together
00:11:24.544 --> 00:11:25.545
All things work together for good to those that love
00:11:25.612 --> 00:11:26.713
For good to those that love the lord and are called
00:11:26.780 --> 00:11:27.280
The lord and are called according to his purpose?
00:11:27.347 --> 00:11:29.516
According to his purpose? god has yet to get up
00:11:29.583 --> 00:11:30.851
God has yet to get up one day in heaven and sit
00:11:30.917 --> 00:11:32.252
One day in heaven and sit on his throne and say, "oops." e
00:11:32.319 --> 00:11:37.157
Seven powerful words
00:11:39.192 --> 00:11:40.527
That resonate through time.
00:11:40.527 --> 00:11:42.262
You are the light of the world.
00:11:42.262 --> 00:11:44.731
As believers,
00:11:44.731 --> 00:11:45.632
We are commissioned to be light
00:11:45.632 --> 00:11:47.634
In a world
00:11:47.634 --> 00:11:48.435
Surrounded in darkness,
00:11:48.435 --> 00:11:49.736
Pain and loss.
00:11:49.736 --> 00:11:51.438
Now is the time to stand up,
00:11:51.438 --> 00:11:53.206
Speak out and shine
00:11:53.206 --> 00:11:54.708

Matthew 5:16

Matches, to continue
00:12:22.836 --> 00:12:24.237
To strengthen
00:12:24.237 --> 00:12:24.871
You as you
00:12:24.871 --> 00:12:25.572
Step into new levels of victory
00:12:25.572 --> 00:12:27.274
Every day.
00:12:27.274 --> 00:12:28.141
Call the number on screen
00:12:28.141 --> 00:12:29.609
Or go to jhm.org/light
00:12:29.609 --> 00:12:35.782
He misses nothing.
00:12:35.849 --> 00:12:37.450
He misses nothing. if he didn't hear everything,
00:12:37.517 --> 00:12:38.685
If he didn't hear everything, if he didn't see everything,
00:12:38.752 --> 00:12:39.886
If he didn't see everything, if he didn't know everything,
00:12:39.953 --> 00:12:41.388
If he didn't know everything, then we would have
00:12:41.454 --> 00:12:41.988
Then we would have a reason to doubt him
00:12:42.055 --> 00:12:43.223
A reason to doubt him and not put our hope in him.
00:12:43.290 --> 00:12:44.958
And not put our hope in him. but i promise you this,
00:12:45.025 --> 00:12:46.293
But i promise you this, my hope is not wishful thinking,
00:12:46.359 --> 00:12:48.395
My hope is not wishful thinking, my hope is an investment
00:12:48.461 --> 00:12:50.197
My hope is an investment in a god who has never failed.
00:12:50.263 --> 00:12:52.332
In a god who has never failed. he has kept his promises
00:12:52.399 --> 00:12:53.934
He has kept his promises to a thousand generations
00:12:54.000 --> 00:12:55.435
To a thousand generations and he's going to keep
00:12:55.502 --> 00:12:56.503
And he's going to keep his every promise to me.
00:12:56.570 --> 00:12:58.038
His every promise to me. i have put my hope in a god
00:12:58.104 --> 00:13:00.106
I have put my hope in a god who has promised
00:13:00.173 --> 00:13:01.107
Who has promised that he who began a good
00:13:01.174 --> 00:13:02.509
That he who began a good work in you would be
00:13:02.576 --> 00:13:04.077
Work in you would be faithful to complete it even
00:13:04.144 --> 00:13:05.612
Faithful to complete it even unto the day of christ jesus.
00:13:05.679 --> 00:13:07.380
Unto the day of christ jesus. i have invested my hope in a god
00:13:07.447 --> 00:13:09.382
I have invested my hope in a god who has promised that he would
00:13:09.449 --> 00:13:11.051
Who has promised that he would do beyond what i could ask,
00:13:11.117 --> 00:13:12.853
Do beyond what i could ask, what i could think,
00:13:12.919 --> 00:13:13.687
What i could think, and what i could imagine.
00:13:13.753 --> 00:13:14.721
And what i could imagine. i have put my hope
00:13:14.788 --> 00:13:16.056
I have put my hope as an investment in a god
00:13:16.122 --> 00:13:17.724
As an investment in a god who has promised no plague
00:13:17.791 --> 00:13:19.059
Who has promised no plague shall come near my dwelling,
00:13:19.125 --> 00:13:20.694
Shall come near my dwelling, no weapon formed
00:13:20.760 --> 00:13:21.828
No weapon formed should every prosper,
00:13:21.895 --> 00:13:23.263
Should every prosper, no enemy shall ever overtake me.
00:13:23.330 --> 00:13:25.198
No enemy shall ever overtake me. because his hand is upon me
00:13:25.265 --> 00:13:27.334
Because his hand is upon me and i can put my hope in him.
00:13:27.400 --> 00:13:29.569
And i can put my hope in him. child of god,
00:13:29.636 --> 00:13:30.437
Child of god, if you're looking for a place
00:13:30.503 --> 00:13:31.771
If you're looking for a place that you can anchor
00:13:31.838 --> 00:13:32.739
That you can anchor your soul today,
00:13:32.806 --> 00:13:33.807
Your soul today, there's a god who hears you,
00:13:33.874 --> 00:13:35.876
There's a god who hears you, there's a god who sees you,
00:13:35.942 --> 00:13:37.510
There's a god who sees you, there's a god who knows you,
00:13:37.577 --> 00:13:39.312
There's a god who knows you, and there's a god who wants
00:13:39.379 --> 00:13:40.747
And there's a god who wants to put his hand upon your life.
00:13:40.814 --> 00:13:42.949
To put his hand upon your life. so, hope in god!
00:13:43.016 --> 00:13:45.485
So, hope in god! hope in god!
00:13:45.552 --> 00:13:47.554
Hope in god! hope in god!
00:13:47.621 --> 00:13:49.456
[applause]
00:13:49.923 --> 00:13:52.325
Hope requires trust.
00:13:57.030 --> 00:14:00.967
Hope requires trust. is there anybody in here that
00:14:01.034 --> 00:14:02.068
Is there anybody in here that knows somebody
00:14:02.135 --> 00:14:03.570
Knows somebody with trust issues?
00:14:03.637 --> 00:14:05.906
With trust issues? oh, you don't know any --
00:14:05.972 --> 00:14:06.773
Oh, you don't know any -- some of y'all don't
00:14:06.840 --> 00:14:07.407
Some of y'all don't even trust enough
00:14:07.474 --> 00:14:08.041
Even trust enough to raise your hand.
00:14:08.108 --> 00:14:08.608
To raise your hand. you're like,
00:14:08.675 --> 00:14:09.309
You're like, "they're sitting next to me."
00:14:09.376 --> 00:14:10.944
[laughter]
00:14:11.444 --> 00:14:13.079
"i would, but she's here."
00:14:13.546 --> 00:14:17.117
Hope requires trust.
00:14:20.186 --> 00:14:22.989
Hope requires trust. when you put your money
00:14:23.056 --> 00:14:23.690
When you put your money in the bank,
00:14:23.757 --> 00:14:25.392
In the bank, you trust that it's still
00:14:25.458 --> 00:14:26.826
You trust that it's still there when you
00:14:26.893 --> 00:14:27.294
There when you go back to get it.
00:14:27.360 --> 00:14:29.496
Go back to get it. this is why financial
00:14:29.562 --> 00:14:30.397
This is why financial institutions are often
00:14:30.463 --> 00:14:31.431
Institutions are often called "bank and trust."
00:14:31.498 --> 00:14:35.168
Called "bank and trust." now, staying with this financial
00:14:35.235 --> 00:14:36.536
Now, staying with this financial analogy of what hope does,
00:14:36.603 --> 00:14:39.472
Analogy of what hope does, it's like a trust account.
00:14:39.539 --> 00:14:42.242
It's like a trust account. and a trust account
00:14:42.309 --> 00:14:43.443
And a trust account is where an individual puts
00:14:43.510 --> 00:14:46.513
Is where an individual puts their resources for the benefit
00:14:46.579 --> 00:14:49.015
Their resources for the benefit of someone else,
00:14:49.082 --> 00:14:50.750
Of someone else, and then they give the access
00:14:50.817 --> 00:14:53.186
And then they give the access to those resources to an
00:14:53.253 --> 00:14:54.554
To those resources to an individual called a trustee.
00:14:54.621 --> 00:14:57.857
Individual called a trustee. and what they say to the trustee
00:14:57.924 --> 00:14:59.759
And what they say to the trustee in the instructions is that,
00:14:59.826 --> 00:15:01.294
In the instructions is that, "when the person that i am
00:15:01.361 --> 00:15:02.829
"when the person that i am leaving these resources
00:15:02.896 --> 00:15:04.097
Leaving these resources for needs them,
00:15:04.164 --> 00:15:06.633
For needs them, whenever they get
00:15:06.700 --> 00:15:07.534
Whenever they get to a certain age,
00:15:07.600 --> 00:15:08.401
To a certain age, or they get to a certain moment,
00:15:08.468 --> 00:15:09.936
Or they get to a certain moment, or they have something
00:15:10.003 --> 00:15:10.837
Or they have something that they need for which
00:15:10.904 --> 00:15:12.238
That they need for which these resources have
00:15:12.305 --> 00:15:13.306
These resources have been set aside,
00:15:13.373 --> 00:15:14.507
Been set aside, then you, the trustee,
00:15:14.574 --> 00:15:16.943
Then you, the trustee, you go get the resources
00:15:17.010 --> 00:15:18.745
You go get the resources and you give them
00:15:18.812 --> 00:15:19.713
And you give them to the person that
00:15:19.779 --> 00:15:20.413
To the person that i sent them for."
00:15:20.480 --> 00:15:22.349
I sent them for." so, this is a way
00:15:22.415 --> 00:15:23.183
So, this is a way that grandparents take
00:15:23.249 --> 00:15:24.551
That grandparents take care of grandkids,
00:15:24.617 --> 00:15:25.952
Care of grandkids, and they say,
00:15:26.019 --> 00:15:26.519
And they say, "whenever my grandchild
00:15:26.586 --> 00:15:27.754
"whenever my grandchild gets to this age,
00:15:27.821 --> 00:15:28.588
Gets to this age, and i wanna take
00:15:28.655 --> 00:15:29.389
And i wanna take care of school,"
00:15:29.456 --> 00:15:30.223
Care of school," then they go to the trustee
00:15:30.290 --> 00:15:31.324
Then they go to the trustee and the trustee says,
00:15:31.391 --> 00:15:32.258
And the trustee says, "what do you need
00:15:32.325 --> 00:15:32.792
"what do you need this money for?"
00:15:32.859 --> 00:15:33.560
This money for?" and the kid says,
00:15:33.626 --> 00:15:34.160
And the kid says, "a ferrari."
00:15:34.227 --> 00:15:34.928
"a ferrari." he said,
00:15:34.995 --> 00:15:35.362
He said, "no, can't do the ferrari."
00:15:35.428 --> 00:15:38.031
"no, can't do the ferrari." he says, "what do you
00:15:38.098 --> 00:15:38.832
He says, "what do you need the money for?"
00:15:38.898 --> 00:15:39.332
Need the money for?" he said,
00:15:39.399 --> 00:15:39.766
He said, "i need it for tuition."
00:15:39.833 --> 00:15:40.433
"i need it for tuition." "okay, we can do tuition."
00:15:40.500 --> 00:15:41.334
"okay, we can do tuition." how many of you understand
00:15:41.401 --> 00:15:42.035
How many of you understand how this works?
00:15:42.102 --> 00:15:44.070
How this works? so, what you need to understand
00:15:44.137 --> 00:15:45.338
So, what you need to understand is that god has created
00:15:45.405 --> 00:15:47.307
Is that god has created a trust account for you
00:15:47.374 --> 00:15:48.808
A trust account for you in heavenly places.
00:15:48.875 --> 00:15:52.045
In heavenly places. and here's what he did,
00:15:52.112 --> 00:15:52.946
And here's what he did, he took every promise.
00:15:53.013 --> 00:15:56.483
He took every promise. the bible says literally
00:15:56.549 --> 00:15:57.617
The bible says literally every promise.
00:15:57.684 --> 00:15:58.752
Every promise. 2 corinthians 1:20,
00:15:58.818 --> 00:16:00.987
2 corinthians 1:20, "all of the promises in god,
00:16:01.054 --> 00:16:03.790
"all of the promises in god, in him," him is christ jesus.
00:16:03.857 --> 00:16:06.292
In him," him is christ jesus. "all of the promises are yes,
00:16:06.359 --> 00:16:08.628
"all of the promises are yes, and they are amen
00:16:08.695 --> 00:16:10.230
And they are amen to the glory of god through us."
00:16:10.296 --> 00:16:12.966
To the glory of god through us." god took 3,000 plus promises
00:16:13.033 --> 00:16:16.036
God took 3,000 plus promises and he put them in
00:16:16.102 --> 00:16:16.970
And he put them in an account in heavenly places.
00:16:17.037 --> 00:16:19.806
An account in heavenly places. and then jesus made
00:16:19.873 --> 00:16:21.741
And then jesus made the holy spirit the trustee.
00:16:21.808 --> 00:16:26.780
The holy spirit the trustee. the trustee is the one you go
00:16:26.846 --> 00:16:27.781
The trustee is the one you go talk to when you need
00:16:27.847 --> 00:16:29.749
Talk to when you need resources from the trust.
00:16:29.816 --> 00:16:33.219
Resources from the trust. and how does this work?
00:16:33.286 --> 00:16:35.422
And how does this work? romans 8:24.
00:16:35.488 --> 00:16:41.227
Romans 8:24. it says,
00:16:41.294 --> 00:16:42.095
It says, "for we were saved in this hope,
00:16:42.162 --> 00:16:44.998
"for we were saved in this hope, but hope that
00:16:45.065 --> 00:16:45.632
But hope that is seen is not hope.
00:16:45.698 --> 00:16:48.134
Is seen is not hope. for why does one still
00:16:48.201 --> 00:16:48.935
For why does one still hope for what he sees?
00:16:49.002 --> 00:16:51.404
Hope for what he sees? but if we hope
00:16:51.471 --> 00:16:52.272
But if we hope for what we do not see,
00:16:52.338 --> 00:16:53.473
For what we do not see, we eagerly await
00:16:53.540 --> 00:16:54.374
We eagerly await for it with perseverance."
00:16:54.441 --> 00:16:56.476
For it with perseverance." we are trusting that
00:16:56.543 --> 00:16:57.610
We are trusting that the promises that god
00:16:57.677 --> 00:16:58.611
The promises that god gave us in jesus are up there
00:16:58.678 --> 00:16:59.946
Gave us in jesus are up there in that heavenly account.
00:17:00.013 --> 00:17:01.815
In that heavenly account. i don't see the peace,
00:17:01.881 --> 00:17:03.416
I don't see the peace, but it's up there.
00:17:03.483 --> 00:17:04.617
But it's up there. i don't see the provision,
00:17:04.684 --> 00:17:05.885
I don't see the provision, but it's up there.
00:17:05.952 --> 00:17:07.187
But it's up there. i don't see the healing,
00:17:07.253 --> 00:17:08.221
I don't see the healing, the restoration,
00:17:08.288 --> 00:17:08.955
The restoration, the deliverance,
00:17:09.022 --> 00:17:09.589
The deliverance, but guess what?
00:17:09.656 --> 00:17:10.757
But guess what? it's up there.
00:17:10.824 --> 00:17:12.725
It's up there. now, when i need it,
00:17:12.792 --> 00:17:15.962
Now, when i need it, i have to go talk
00:17:16.029 --> 00:17:16.596
I have to go talk to the trustee.
00:17:16.663 --> 00:17:18.465
To the trustee. verse 26, it says,
00:17:18.531 --> 00:17:19.466
Verse 26, it says, "likewise the spirit
00:17:19.532 --> 00:17:20.834
"likewise the spirit also helps in our weakness.
00:17:20.900 --> 00:17:23.470
Also helps in our weakness. for when we don't know
00:17:23.536 --> 00:17:24.504
For when we don't know what we should pray for
00:17:24.571 --> 00:17:25.905
What we should pray for as we ought,
00:17:25.972 --> 00:17:27.440
As we ought, the spirit himself,"
00:17:27.507 --> 00:17:30.477
The spirit himself," the trustee,
00:17:30.543 --> 00:17:32.545
The trustee, "he makes intercession
00:17:32.612 --> 00:17:33.680
"he makes intercession for us with groanings
00:17:33.746 --> 00:17:35.248
For us with groanings that cannot be uttered."
00:17:35.315 --> 00:17:37.851
That cannot be uttered." we've already heard that
00:17:37.917 --> 00:17:38.718
We've already heard that whatever you ask in faith
00:17:38.785 --> 00:17:39.953
Whatever you ask in faith according to his word,
00:17:40.019 --> 00:17:40.954
According to his word, he'll do it.
00:17:41.020 --> 00:17:43.056
He'll do it. but how do we know
00:17:43.123 --> 00:17:44.157
But how do we know what to ask for?
00:17:44.224 --> 00:17:46.860
What to ask for? i don't know how to pray.
00:17:46.926 --> 00:17:49.329
I don't know how to pray. and when i tell you
00:17:49.395 --> 00:17:49.963
And when i tell you i don't know how to pray,
00:17:50.029 --> 00:17:50.830
I don't know how to pray, what i mean is,
00:17:50.897 --> 00:17:51.564
What i mean is, it's not that i haven't
00:17:51.631 --> 00:17:52.298
It's not that i haven't been taught how to pray.
00:17:52.365 --> 00:17:53.433
Been taught how to pray. if you've been to this church
00:17:53.500 --> 00:17:54.467
If you've been to this church for more than one service,
00:17:54.534 --> 00:17:55.535
For more than one service, you know that i know
00:17:55.602 --> 00:17:56.536
You know that i know how to pray.
00:17:56.603 --> 00:17:59.472
How to pray. but what i'm saying is
00:17:59.539 --> 00:18:00.473
But what i'm saying is i don't know how to pray
00:18:00.540 --> 00:18:01.941
I don't know how to pray properly because i don't
00:18:02.008 --> 00:18:03.376
Properly because i don't see what god sees.
00:18:03.443 --> 00:18:05.445
See what god sees. i don't hear all that god hears.
00:18:05.512 --> 00:18:07.213
I don't hear all that god hears. i don't know all that god knows.
00:18:07.280 --> 00:18:09.349
I don't know all that god knows. i can't do what god can do.
00:18:09.415 --> 00:18:11.518
I can't do what god can do. so, if i go into heavenly places
00:18:11.584 --> 00:18:13.319
So, if i go into heavenly places and i start asking
00:18:13.386 --> 00:18:14.621
And i start asking for things that i see,
00:18:14.687 --> 00:18:16.055
For things that i see, that i know,
00:18:16.122 --> 00:18:16.756
That i know, that i want,
00:18:16.823 --> 00:18:17.657
That i want, i might be asking wrong
00:18:17.724 --> 00:18:19.626
I might be asking wrong because i can't do
00:18:19.692 --> 00:18:20.727
Because i can't do it like god can do it.
00:18:20.793 --> 00:18:23.997
It like god can do it. and what this verse tells me
00:18:24.063 --> 00:18:25.365
And what this verse tells me is that i don't have
00:18:25.431 --> 00:18:26.766
Is that i don't have to know everything,
00:18:26.833 --> 00:18:27.934
To know everything, i don't have to see everything,
00:18:28.001 --> 00:18:29.669
I don't have to see everything, i don't have to hear everything,
00:18:29.736 --> 00:18:31.337
I don't have to hear everything, i've got a heavenly trustee
00:18:31.404 --> 00:18:33.339
I've got a heavenly trustee called the holy spirit.
00:18:33.406 --> 00:18:34.507
Called the holy spirit. and if all i can do is
00:18:34.574 --> 00:18:36.242
And if all i can do is groan in faith, then he says,
00:18:36.309 --> 00:18:38.978
Groan in faith, then he says, "i know exactly what you need,
00:18:39.045 --> 00:18:40.813
"i know exactly what you need, and i know exactly where
00:18:40.880 --> 00:18:42.315
And i know exactly where to go get it.
00:18:42.382 --> 00:18:43.049
To go get it. if i go to the doctor's office
00:18:43.116 --> 00:18:44.784
If i go to the doctor's office and the doctor says it's cancer,
00:18:44.851 --> 00:18:46.719
And the doctor says it's cancer, i don't even have
00:18:46.786 --> 00:18:47.387
I don't even have to say "jesus, heal me."
00:18:47.453 --> 00:18:48.721
To say "jesus, heal me." i just go, "help."
00:18:48.788 --> 00:18:53.159
I just go, "help." and the holy spirit says,
00:18:53.226 --> 00:18:54.127
And the holy spirit says, "i'll help you.
00:18:54.194 --> 00:18:55.094
"i'll help you. i'll fight for you.
00:18:55.161 --> 00:18:56.129
I'll fight for you. i know exactly who
00:18:56.196 --> 00:18:57.363
I know exactly who to go talk to.
00:18:57.430 --> 00:18:58.431
To go talk to. he's already taken
00:18:58.498 --> 00:18:59.432
He's already taken stripes on his back,
00:18:59.499 --> 00:19:00.633
Stripes on his back, and he locked it up
00:19:00.700 --> 00:19:01.734
And he locked it up there in an account,
00:19:01.801 --> 00:19:02.669
There in an account, and all i've gotta do
00:19:02.735 --> 00:19:03.670
And all i've gotta do is reach in that account
00:19:03.736 --> 00:19:04.938
Is reach in that account and pull down this healing,
00:19:05.004 --> 00:19:06.506
And pull down this healing, and i can bring it to you."
00:19:06.573 --> 00:19:07.941
And i can bring it to you." whenever the economy
00:19:08.007 --> 00:19:08.908
Whenever the economy goes south and you wonder
00:19:08.975 --> 00:19:10.009
Goes south and you wonder if your business
00:19:10.076 --> 00:19:10.777
If your business is gonna make it,
00:19:10.843 --> 00:19:11.544
Is gonna make it, you don't have
00:19:11.611 --> 00:19:12.212
You don't have to ask god
00:19:12.278 --> 00:19:12.845
To ask god for a five-year business plan,
00:19:12.912 --> 00:19:14.480
For a five-year business plan, you just have to say, "jesus!"
00:19:14.547 --> 00:19:16.482
You just have to say, "jesus!" and the holy spirit says,
00:19:16.549 --> 00:19:17.584
And the holy spirit says, "i know exactly who
00:19:17.650 --> 00:19:18.785
"i know exactly who can help provide everything
00:19:18.851 --> 00:19:20.486
Can help provide everything that you need because

That you need because he's already put his

He's already put his blessings, pressed down,

Blessings, pressed down, shaken together

Shaken together and running over,

Set aside for you." and this is how

And this is how the holy spirit goes

The holy spirit goes to god the father and says,
00:19:29.996 --> 00:19:31.464
To god the father and says, "your son, your daughter,

They need you today." he said,

You believe he hears. you don't wish
00:20:49.509 --> 00:20:50.710
You don't wish that god would do,
00:20:50.777 --> 00:20:51.377
That god would do, you believe he will do.
00:20:51.444 --> 00:20:53.179
You believe he will do. you don't wish that
00:20:53.246 --> 00:20:54.180
You don't wish that his promises are true,
00:20:54.247 --> 00:20:55.415
His promises are true, you believe that everything
00:20:55.481 --> 00:20:57.083
You believe that everything that he's ever promised
00:20:57.150 --> 00:20:58.117
That he's ever promised is true and it will
00:20:58.184 --> 00:20:59.585
Is true and it will come to pass.
00:20:59.652 --> 00:21:02.188
Come to pass. so, if you're going
00:21:02.255 --> 00:21:02.789
So, if you're going to have hope,
00:21:02.855 --> 00:21:03.656
To have hope, you've gotta have
00:21:03.723 --> 00:21:04.223
You've gotta have a hopeful mindset.
00:21:04.290 --> 00:21:06.225
A hopeful mindset. people say,
00:21:06.292 --> 00:21:06.659
People say, "well, i don't know
00:21:06.726 --> 00:21:07.160
"well, i don't know how to do that."
00:21:07.226 --> 00:21:07.827
How to do that." i believe that the word
00:21:07.894 --> 00:21:08.695
I believe that the word "hope" tells us exactly
00:21:08.761 --> 00:21:09.729
"hope" tells us exactly how to do that.
00:21:09.796 --> 00:21:10.496
How to do that. it's kind of an acronym.
00:21:10.563 --> 00:21:13.466
It's kind of an acronym. here's what i think hope
00:21:13.533 --> 00:21:14.934
Here's what i think hope and a hopeful mindset
00:21:15.001 --> 00:21:15.668
And a hopeful mindset looks like: humble, optimistic,
00:21:15.735 --> 00:21:19.739
Looks like: humble, optimistic, perseverance, enthusiasm.
00:21:19.806 --> 00:21:23.009
Perseverance, enthusiasm. if you're gonna
00:21:23.076 --> 00:21:23.543
If you're gonna have a hopeful mindset,
00:21:23.609 --> 00:21:24.544
Have a hopeful mindset, the first thing you need
00:21:24.610 --> 00:21:25.378
The first thing you need to do is stay humble.
00:21:25.445 --> 00:21:27.980
To do is stay humble. arrogant people are
00:21:28.047 --> 00:21:28.948
Arrogant people are not hopeful people
00:21:29.015 --> 00:21:31.050
Not hopeful people because their hope
00:21:31.117 --> 00:21:31.851
Because their hope is in self.
00:21:31.918 --> 00:21:33.786
Is in self. but humble people recognize
00:21:33.853 --> 00:21:35.254
But humble people recognize that they didn't get
00:21:35.321 --> 00:21:35.988
That they didn't get anything in this
00:21:36.055 --> 00:21:36.723
Anything in this life by themselves
00:21:36.789 --> 00:21:38.825
Life by themselves and that god
00:21:38.891 --> 00:21:39.559
And that god was a part of all of it.
00:21:39.625 --> 00:21:41.294
Was a part of all of it. this is why jesus said,
00:21:41.361 --> 00:21:42.395
This is why jesus said, "apart from me,
00:21:42.462 --> 00:21:43.296
"apart from me, you can do nothing."
00:21:43.363 --> 00:21:45.565
You can do nothing." if you stay humble,
00:21:45.631 --> 00:21:47.467
If you stay humble, if you realize that you didn't
00:21:47.533 --> 00:21:48.501
If you realize that you didn't get anything on your own,
00:21:48.568 --> 00:21:49.969
Get anything on your own, but the mighty hand
00:21:50.036 --> 00:21:50.703
But the mighty hand of god was with you,
00:21:50.770 --> 00:21:52.972
Of god was with you, then it'll be easy
00:21:53.039 --> 00:21:53.973
Then it'll be easy for you to understand
00:21:54.040 --> 00:21:55.041
For you to understand if he was with you then,
00:21:55.108 --> 00:21:56.175
If he was with you then, he's still with you now.
00:21:56.242 --> 00:21:58.945
He's still with you now. 1 peter tells us that
00:21:59.011 --> 00:22:00.380
1 peter tells us that if you humble yourself
00:22:00.446 --> 00:22:01.347
If you humble yourself under the mighty hand of god,
00:22:01.414 --> 00:22:02.515
Under the mighty hand of god, he will exalt you.
00:22:02.582 --> 00:22:04.283
He will exalt you. when?
00:22:04.350 --> 00:22:05.318
When? in due time.
00:22:05.385 --> 00:22:07.153
In due time. if you wanna stay hopeful,
00:22:07.220 --> 00:22:08.521
If you wanna stay hopeful, you stay humble.
00:22:08.588 --> 00:22:10.423
You stay humble. the second thing to help you
00:22:10.490 --> 00:22:11.891
The second thing to help you stay hopeful is that
00:22:11.958 --> 00:22:13.092
Stay hopeful is that you have to be optimistic.
00:22:13.159 --> 00:22:15.395
You have to be optimistic. optimistic is a mindset
00:22:15.461 --> 00:22:17.730
Optimistic is a mindset that gives you a confidence
00:22:17.797 --> 00:22:19.332
That gives you a confidence about the future.
00:22:19.399 --> 00:22:21.534
About the future. you will never meet
00:22:21.601 --> 00:22:22.935
You will never meet a hopeful pessimist.
00:22:23.002 --> 00:22:26.139
A hopeful pessimist. "hey, it's gonna be
00:22:26.205 --> 00:22:26.906
"hey, it's gonna be a great week."
00:22:26.973 --> 00:22:27.607
A great week." "no, it's not."
00:22:27.673 --> 00:22:29.876
"no, it's not." that's not how it works.
00:22:29.942 --> 00:22:31.778
That's not how it works. the bible says about
00:22:31.844 --> 00:22:32.912
The bible says about a mindset that
00:22:32.979 --> 00:22:33.780
A mindset that "as a man thinks in his heart,"
00:22:33.846 --> 00:22:36.015
"as a man thinks in his heart," what?
00:22:36.082 --> 00:22:36.716
What? "so is he."
00:22:36.783 --> 00:22:38.484
"so is he." so, if you're gonna
00:22:38.551 --> 00:22:39.085
So, if you're gonna invest your hope in god's
00:22:39.152 --> 00:22:40.286
Invest your hope in god's promises for your future,
00:22:40.353 --> 00:22:41.554
Promises for your future, you've got to have
00:22:41.621 --> 00:22:42.455
You've got to have an outlook that says
00:22:42.522 --> 00:22:43.589
An outlook that says god's gonna do it.
00:22:43.656 --> 00:22:46.058
God's gonna do it. i don't know when
00:22:46.125 --> 00:22:46.659
I don't know when he's gonna do it,
00:22:46.726 --> 00:22:47.627
He's gonna do it, but he's gonna do it.
00:22:47.693 --> 00:22:50.797
But he's gonna do it. then p, perseverance.
00:22:50.863 --> 00:22:53.299
Then p, perseverance. perseverance is when you
00:22:53.366 --> 00:22:54.200
Perseverance is when you continue to do something
00:22:54.267 --> 00:22:55.802
Continue to do something regardless of the difficulty
00:22:55.868 --> 00:22:57.136
Regardless of the difficulty or the challenge.
00:22:57.203 --> 00:22:59.605
Or the challenge. if you're gonna be hopeful,
00:22:59.672 --> 00:23:00.673
If you're gonna be hopeful, you've got to stick with it,
00:23:00.740 --> 00:23:03.476
You've got to stick with it, because it may not come
00:23:03.543 --> 00:23:04.410
Because it may not come when you want it to
00:23:04.477 --> 00:23:06.746
When you want it to but you're gonna have
00:23:06.813 --> 00:23:07.513
But you're gonna have to work for your breakthrough.
00:23:07.580 --> 00:23:09.882
To work for your breakthrough. romans 8:25,
00:23:09.949 --> 00:23:11.217
Romans 8:25, it says,
00:23:11.284 --> 00:23:11.651
It says, "if we hope for what
00:23:11.717 --> 00:23:12.318
"if we hope for what we do not see,
00:23:12.385 --> 00:23:13.553
We do not see, we eagerly wait
00:23:13.619 --> 00:23:14.921
We eagerly wait for it with perseverance."
00:23:14.987 --> 00:23:18.991
For it with perseverance." i can tell you testimony
00:23:19.058 --> 00:23:20.059
I can tell you testimony after testimony of people
00:23:20.126 --> 00:23:21.427
After testimony of people that i know who,
00:23:21.494 --> 00:23:22.695
That i know who, through perseverance,
00:23:22.762 --> 00:23:23.729
Through perseverance, obtained the promise of god.
00:23:23.796 --> 00:23:26.165
Obtained the promise of god. my grandmother, she believed
00:23:26.232 --> 00:23:28.334
My grandmother, she believed for her oldest son
00:23:28.401 --> 00:23:29.702
For her oldest son to be healed of epilepsy,
00:23:29.769 --> 00:23:31.137
To be healed of epilepsy, and when she believed
00:23:31.204 --> 00:23:32.104
And when she believed for him to be healed,
00:23:32.171 --> 00:23:33.072

Of his life. don't give up on god because he
00:23:52.091 --> 00:23:54.026
Don't give up on god because he didn't give you what you wanted
00:23:54.093 --> 00:23:55.127
Didn't give you what you wanted when you asked for it.
00:23:55.194 --> 00:23:56.162
When you asked for it. persevere a little while
