I like to start with something funny. i heard
00:00:28.384 --> 00:00:30.086
Something funny. i heard about this pastor. he was new
00:00:30.153 --> 00:00:31.955
About this pastor. he was new in town, and he was going
00:00:32.021 --> 00:00:33.656
In town, and he was going door to door inviting people
00:00:33.723 --> 00:00:35.258
Door to door inviting people to his church. he knocked on
00:00:35.325 --> 00:00:36.926
To his church. he knocked on this one door, he could tell
00:00:36.993 --> 00:00:38.628
This one door, he could tell someone was home, but no one
00:00:38.695 --> 00:00:40.130
Someone was home, but no one would answer. so, he took his
00:00:40.196 --> 00:00:41.931
Would answer. so, he took his business card out and wrote
00:00:41.998 --> 00:00:43.600
Business card out and wrote on the back the scripture
00:00:43.666 --> 00:00:44.868
On the back the scripture reference, revelation 3:20,
00:00:44.934 --> 00:00:47.403
Reference, revelation 3:20, left it on the door. the next

Sunday after service, an usher handed him the same
00:00:51.141 --> 00:00:52.375
Usher handed him the same card. under what the pastor
00:00:52.442 --> 00:00:54.310
Card. under what the pastor had written was the scripture
00:00:54.377 --> 00:00:55.845

00:00:59.215 --> 00:01:00.717
Revelation 3:20, the pastor's words: “behold i stand at the

Words: “behold i stand at the door and knock. if anyone

Door and knock. if anyone opens the door, i will come
00:01:04.320 --> 00:01:05.722
Opens the door, i will come in.” the reply was genesis
00:01:05.788 --> 00:01:08.158
In.” the reply was genesis 3:10. it says, “i heard your

3:10. it says, “i heard your voice, and i was afraid,
00:01:10.426 --> 00:01:12.328
Voice, and i was afraid, because i was naked.”
00:01:12.395 --> 00:01:13.329
Because i was naked.” (laughter)
00:01:13.396 --> 00:01:15.932

Boldly confess: my mind is alert. my heart is receptive.
00:01:31.147 --> 00:01:33.516
Alert. my heart is receptive. i will never be the same in
00:01:33.583 --> 00:01:35.485
I will never be the same in jesus' name. god bless you.
00:01:35.552 --> 00:01:37.954
Jesus' name. god bless you. i want to talk to you today
00:01:38.021 --> 00:01:40.657
I want to talk to you today about day forty-one is
00:01:40.723 --> 00:01:42.659
About day forty-one is coming. we all go through
00:01:42.725 --> 00:01:44.894
Coming. we all go through seasons of testing and
00:01:44.961 --> 00:01:46.329
Seasons of testing and proving. times of adversity
00:01:46.396 --> 00:01:48.765
Proving. times of adversity and struggle, where we're
00:01:48.831 --> 00:01:50.266
And struggle, where we're praying and believing but
00:01:50.333 --> 00:01:52.135
Praying and believing but things aren't changing. in
00:01:52.202 --> 00:01:54.037
Things aren't changing. in the scripture, these seasons
00:01:54.103 --> 00:01:55.872
The scripture, these seasons are described as forty days.
00:01:55.939 --> 00:01:58.841
Are described as forty days. forty is a symbolic number.
00:01:58.908 --> 00:02:01.244
Forty is a symbolic number. it refers to seasons of
00:02:01.311 --> 00:02:02.812
It refers to seasons of testing, struggle, where it
00:02:02.879 --> 00:02:05.014
Testing, struggle, where it doesn't look like things are
00:02:05.081 --> 00:02:06.249
Doesn't look like things are going to change. after noah
00:02:06.316 --> 00:02:08.284
Going to change. after noah built the ark, it rained for
00:02:08.351 --> 00:02:10.253
Built the ark, it rained for forty days. jesus was tempted
00:02:10.320 --> 00:02:12.889
Forty days. jesus was tempted in the desert for forty days.
00:02:12.956 --> 00:02:15.325
In the desert for forty days. goliath taunted the
00:02:15.391 --> 00:02:16.392
Goliath taunted the israelites forty days. moses
00:02:16.459 --> 00:02:18.995
Israelites forty days. moses made a mistake and wandered
00:02:19.062 --> 00:02:20.730
Made a mistake and wandered in the desert for forty
00:02:20.797 --> 00:02:21.898
In the desert for forty years. in life, we'll all
00:02:21.965 --> 00:02:24.400
Years. in life, we'll all have a few forty-day
00:02:24.467 --> 00:02:26.002
Have a few forty-day experiences. where we're
00:02:26.069 --> 00:02:27.770
Experiences. where we're facing a giant that looks too
00:02:27.837 --> 00:02:29.672
Facing a giant that looks too big. a slow season, in the
00:02:29.739 --> 00:02:32.308
Big. a slow season, in the desert so to speak. a storm,
00:02:32.375 --> 00:02:34.644
Desert so to speak. a storm, where it keeps raining, the
00:02:34.711 --> 00:02:36.512
Where it keeps raining, the medical report is not
00:02:36.579 --> 00:02:37.513
Medical report is not improving, a child not coming
00:02:37.580 --> 00:02:39.449
Improving, a child not coming home, still haven't met the
00:02:39.515 --> 00:02:41.017
Home, still haven't met the right person. it's tempting
00:02:41.084 --> 00:02:43.152
Right person. it's tempting to get discouraged, give up
00:02:43.219 --> 00:02:44.721
To get discouraged, give up on our dreams. but when
00:02:44.787 --> 00:02:46.556
On our dreams. but when you're in one of these forty
00:02:46.623 --> 00:02:47.924
You're in one of these forty days, thoughts telling you
00:02:47.991 --> 00:02:49.859
Days, thoughts telling you it's never going to change,
00:02:49.926 --> 00:02:51.761
It's never going to change, you have to know, day
00:02:51.828 --> 00:02:53.396
You have to know, day forty-one is coming. the
00:02:53.463 --> 00:02:55.565
Forty-one is coming. the scripture says god has set an
00:02:55.632 --> 00:02:57.600
Scripture says god has set an end to the difficulty. i
00:02:57.667 --> 00:02:59.736
End to the difficulty. i can't promise you you won't
00:02:59.802 --> 00:03:01.371
Can't promise you you won't have some forty days, but i
00:03:01.437 --> 00:03:03.206
Have some forty days, but i can promise you, day
00:03:03.273 --> 00:03:04.774
Can promise you, day forty-one will always come.
00:03:04.841 --> 00:03:07.577
Forty-one will always come. but the number forty gets a
00:03:07.644 --> 00:03:08.845
But the number forty gets a lot of attention, you have to
00:03:08.911 --> 00:03:10.813
Lot of attention, you have to stay focused on the
00:03:10.880 --> 00:03:11.848
Stay focused on the forty-one. yes, it rained for
00:03:11.914 --> 00:03:14.350
Forty-one. yes, it rained for forty days, but on day
00:03:14.417 --> 00:03:16.119
Forty days, but on day forty-one, the rain stopped,
00:03:16.185 --> 00:03:18.388
Forty-one, the rain stopped, noah and his family were
00:03:18.454 --> 00:03:19.656
Noah and his family were saved. yes, the enemy tempted
00:03:19.722 --> 00:03:22.292
Saved. yes, the enemy tempted jesus for forty days, but on
00:03:22.358 --> 00:03:24.327
Jesus for forty days, but on day forty-one angels showed
00:03:24.394 --> 00:03:26.195
Day forty-one angels showed up and strengthened him. yes,
00:03:26.262 --> 00:03:28.531
Up and strengthened him. yes, goliath taunted the
00:03:28.598 --> 00:03:29.565
Goliath taunted the israelites forty days, but on
00:03:29.632 --> 00:03:31.734
Israelites forty days, but on day forty-one, david showed
00:03:31.801 --> 00:03:33.603
Day forty-one, david showed up and put an end to him.
00:03:33.670 --> 00:03:35.805
Up and put an end to him. when god told noah to build
00:03:35.872 --> 00:03:37.206
When god told noah to build the ark, it had never rained.
00:03:37.273 --> 00:03:39.442
The ark, it had never rained. he could have come up with
00:03:39.509 --> 00:03:40.310
He could have come up with good excuses to not do it,
00:03:40.376 --> 00:03:42.445
Good excuses to not do it, but he obeyed. he did the
00:03:42.512 --> 00:03:44.347
But he obeyed. he did the right thing when it was hard.
00:03:44.414 --> 00:03:46.649
Right thing when it was hard. he didn't have trouble
00:03:46.716 --> 00:03:47.717
He didn't have trouble because he was lazy and
00:03:47.784 --> 00:03:49.419
Because he was lazy and wouldn't listen. he faced his
00:03:49.485 --> 00:03:51.721
Wouldn't listen. he faced his forty days because he was
00:03:51.788 --> 00:03:53.389
Forty days because he was faithful, because he honored
00:03:53.456 --> 00:03:55.291
Faithful, because he honored god, wouldn't take the easy
00:03:55.358 --> 00:03:57.293
God, wouldn't take the easy way out. when you're in a
00:03:57.360 --> 00:03:59.295
Way out. when you're in a forty-day period, thoughts
00:03:59.362 --> 00:04:00.963
Forty-day period, thoughts will whisper, “it's because
00:04:01.030 --> 00:04:02.765
Will whisper, “it's because you made those mistakes. you
00:04:02.832 --> 00:04:04.934
You made those mistakes. you should have done better.
00:04:05.001 --> 00:04:06.402
Should have done better. god's upset with you.” we
00:04:06.469 --> 00:04:08.604
God's upset with you.” we think the storm is always
00:04:08.671 --> 00:04:10.006
Think the storm is always god's judgment. but sometimes
00:04:10.073 --> 00:04:12.308
God's judgment. but sometimes like noah, your forty days,
00:04:12.375 --> 00:04:14.877
Like noah, your forty days, is a result of being
00:04:14.944 --> 00:04:16.112
Is a result of being obedient. it's because you're
00:04:16.179 --> 00:04:18.247
Obedient. it's because you're honoring god. not that you've
00:04:18.314 --> 00:04:20.249
Honoring god. not that you've done something wrong, but
00:04:20.316 --> 00:04:21.718
Done something wrong, but you've done something right.
00:04:21.784 --> 00:04:23.419
You've done something right. god can trust you to pass the
00:04:23.486 --> 00:04:25.188
God can trust you to pass the test, to keep an attitude of
00:04:25.254 --> 00:04:27.123
Test, to keep an attitude of faith.
00:04:27.190 --> 00:04:28.358
Faith. we don't like the trials.
00:04:28.424 --> 00:04:30.360
We don't like the trials. it's uncomfortable, but that
00:04:30.426 --> 00:04:32.528
It's uncomfortable, but that forty days is positioning you
00:04:32.595 --> 00:04:34.597
Forty days is positioning you for greater things. god knows
00:04:34.664 --> 00:04:37.400
For greater things. god knows the end from the beginning.
00:04:37.467 --> 00:04:39.802
The end from the beginning. we see the forty days, but
00:04:39.869 --> 00:04:41.571
We see the forty days, but god sees day forty-one. he
00:04:41.637 --> 00:04:43.873
God sees day forty-one. he sees what he's about to do.
00:04:43.940 --> 00:04:46.042
Sees what he's about to do. you have to go through it to
00:04:46.109 --> 00:04:48.077
You have to go through it to get to it. you have to
00:04:48.144 --> 00:04:50.113
Get to it. you have to persevere. you have to stand
00:04:50.179 --> 00:04:52.482
Persevere. you have to stand in faith. the scripture says,
00:04:52.548 --> 00:04:54.150
In faith. the scripture says, “having done all, to stand.”
00:04:54.217 --> 00:04:56.919
“having done all, to stand.” that means you just keep
00:04:56.986 --> 00:04:57.854
That means you just keep standing. your attitude is,
00:04:57.920 --> 00:05:00.089
Standing. your attitude is, “i will not give up. i will
00:05:00.156 --> 00:05:02.058
“i will not give up. i will not get bitter. yes, it's
00:05:02.125 --> 00:05:04.026
Not get bitter. yes, it's still raining. i don't see
00:05:04.093 --> 00:05:05.962
Still raining. i don't see any sign of things changing,
00:05:06.028 --> 00:05:07.897
Any sign of things changing, but i know a secret, these
00:05:07.964 --> 00:05:09.532
But i know a secret, these forty days is not how my
00:05:09.599 --> 00:05:11.334
Forty days is not how my story ends. day forty-one is
00:05:11.401 --> 00:05:13.403
Story ends. day forty-one is coming.” god has not brought
00:05:13.469 --> 00:05:16.072
Coming.” god has not brought you this far to leave you.
00:05:16.139 --> 00:05:18.441
You this far to leave you. get your passion back. this
00:05:18.508 --> 00:05:20.576
Get your passion back. this test is only temporary. god
00:05:20.643 --> 00:05:22.845
Test is only temporary. god being for you is more than
00:05:22.912 --> 00:05:24.814
Being for you is more than what's coming against you.
00:05:24.881 --> 00:05:26.916
What's coming against you. i love the faith of noah.
00:05:26.983 --> 00:05:29.085
I love the faith of noah. everyone would have been
00:05:29.152 --> 00:05:30.553
Everyone would have been making fun of him. “this
00:05:30.620 --> 00:05:32.388
Making fun of him. “this crazy guy is building a boat,
00:05:32.455 --> 00:05:34.323
Crazy guy is building a boat, out in the desert. there's no
00:05:34.390 --> 00:05:36.192
Out in the desert. there's no water to put it in. he says
00:05:36.259 --> 00:05:37.760
Water to put it in. he says it's going to flood.” despite
00:05:37.827 --> 00:05:39.929
It's going to flood.” despite all the negative chatter, he
00:05:39.996 --> 00:05:42.098
All the negative chatter, he just kept doing what god put
00:05:42.165 --> 00:05:43.533
Just kept doing what god put in his heart. he finished
00:05:43.599 --> 00:05:45.368
In his heart. he finished building the boat and got all
00:05:45.435 --> 00:05:47.236
Building the boat and got all of his family on it. the
00:05:47.303 --> 00:05:49.038
Of his family on it. the scripture says god closed the
00:05:49.105 --> 00:05:50.640
Scripture says god closed the door. there was a time no one
00:05:50.706 --> 00:05:52.642
Door. there was a time no one else could get in. it started
00:05:52.708 --> 00:05:54.577
Else could get in. it started raining. one day, two days, a
00:05:54.644 --> 00:05:57.547
Raining. one day, two days, a week, two weeks, three weeks.
00:05:57.613 --> 00:06:00.516
Week, two weeks, three weeks. the whole earth was flooded.
00:06:00.583 --> 00:06:01.717
The whole earth was flooded. it wiped out all the people,
00:06:01.784 --> 00:06:03.519
It wiped out all the people, animals, plants, and houses.
00:06:03.586 --> 00:06:05.688
Animals, plants, and houses. the scripture says, “it was
00:06:05.755 --> 00:06:06.923
The scripture says, “it was torrential rains.” not just a
00:06:06.989 --> 00:06:09.125
Torrential rains.” not just a little sprinkle, this was a
00:06:09.192 --> 00:06:10.426
Little sprinkle, this was a huge storm, i'm sure it was
00:06:10.493 --> 00:06:12.895
Huge storm, i'm sure it was chaotic, the boat rocking,
00:06:12.962 --> 00:06:15.198
Chaotic, the boat rocking, the winds blowing. but think
00:06:15.264 --> 00:06:17.333
The winds blowing. but think about how good god is. noah
00:06:17.400 --> 00:06:19.602
About how good god is. noah was rising above what was
00:06:19.669 --> 00:06:21.737
Was rising above what was destroying others. even
00:06:21.804 --> 00:06:23.906
Destroying others. even though he was in a storm, god
00:06:23.973 --> 00:06:25.908
Though he was in a storm, god was sustaining him, not
00:06:25.975 --> 00:06:27.777
Was sustaining him, not letting him go down. when
00:06:27.844 --> 00:06:30.012
Letting him go down. when you're in a forty-day season,
00:06:30.079 --> 00:06:31.914
You're in a forty-day season, you may not realize it, but
00:06:31.981 --> 00:06:33.716
You may not realize it, but god's not letting you go
00:06:33.783 --> 00:06:35.051
God's not letting you go under. that sickness couldn't
00:06:35.117 --> 00:06:37.186
Under. that sickness couldn't take you out. that trouble at
00:06:37.253 --> 00:06:39.121
Take you out. that trouble at work, it was hard, but you
00:06:39.188 --> 00:06:41.190
Work, it was hard, but you had the strength to endure.
00:06:41.257 --> 00:06:43.493
Had the strength to endure. that child that broke your
00:06:43.559 --> 00:06:44.594
That child that broke your heart, you look back now and
00:06:44.660 --> 00:06:46.562
Heart, you look back now and think how did you make it
00:06:46.629 --> 00:06:47.763
Think how did you make it through. that was god keeping
00:06:47.830 --> 00:06:49.599
Through. that was god keeping you, strengthening you,
00:06:49.665 --> 00:06:51.033
You, strengthening you, favoring you. you can't
00:06:51.100 --> 00:06:53.202
Favoring you. you can't always see it in the storm,
00:06:53.269 --> 00:06:55.071
Always see it in the storm, but god is working. he's a
00:06:55.137 --> 00:06:57.139
But god is working. he's a very present help in times of
00:06:57.206 --> 00:06:59.442
Very present help in times of trouble. that means in the
00:06:59.509 --> 00:07:01.110
Trouble. that means in the forty days, he's close to
00:07:01.177 --> 00:07:03.179
Forty days, he's close to you. he's not allowing the
00:07:03.246 --> 00:07:05.014
You. he's not allowing the difficulty to take you out.
00:07:05.081 --> 00:07:07.917
Difficulty to take you out. the scripture tells us to
00:07:07.984 --> 00:07:09.485
The scripture tells us to wait with expectancy. wait,
00:07:09.552 --> 00:07:12.288
Wait with expectancy. wait, believing that it's coming,
00:07:12.355 --> 00:07:14.123
Believing that it's coming, wait thanking god that it's
00:07:14.190 --> 00:07:15.391
Wait thanking god that it's on the way, wait expecting
00:07:15.458 --> 00:07:17.560
On the way, wait expecting things to change in your
00:07:17.627 --> 00:07:18.828
Things to change in your favor. not waiting
00:07:18.895 --> 00:07:20.730
Favor. not waiting discouraged, “i don't think
00:07:20.796 --> 00:07:22.832
Discouraged, “i don't think i'll ever get well. i'll
00:07:22.899 --> 00:07:24.433
I'll ever get well. i'll never get that scholarship.
00:07:24.500 --> 00:07:26.402
Never get that scholarship. this addiction has been in my
00:07:26.469 --> 00:07:27.603
This addiction has been in my family for years.” you're the
00:07:27.670 --> 00:07:29.805
Family for years.” you're the one to break it. god raised
00:07:29.872 --> 00:07:32.008
One to break it. god raised you up to set a new standard.
00:07:32.074 --> 00:07:33.476
You up to set a new standard. it may have been that way a
00:07:33.543 --> 00:07:35.111
It may have been that way a long time, but don't accept
00:07:35.177 --> 00:07:37.113
Long time, but don't accept it as permanent. that's the
00:07:37.179 --> 00:07:39.282
It as permanent. that's the mistake the israelites made.
00:07:39.348 --> 00:07:41.150
Mistake the israelites made. they wandered in the desert
00:07:41.217 --> 00:07:42.852
They wandered in the desert forty years because they
00:07:42.919 --> 00:07:44.787
Forty years because they never believed. they
00:07:44.854 --> 00:07:46.355
Never believed. they complained, had a limited
00:07:46.422 --> 00:07:48.257
Complained, had a limited mindset. but their children
00:07:48.324 --> 00:07:50.993
Mindset. but their children had a different mentality.
00:07:51.060 --> 00:07:53.362
Had a different mentality. they didn't see themselves as
00:07:53.429 --> 00:07:54.764
They didn't see themselves as former slaves, “these enemies
00:07:54.830 --> 00:07:57.033
Former slaves, “these enemies are too big.” they had a
00:07:57.099 --> 00:07:58.401
Are too big.” they had a victorious mentality. they
00:07:58.467 --> 00:08:00.670
Victorious mentality. they realized they were children
00:08:00.736 --> 00:08:02.038
Realized they were children of almighty god. that defeat
00:08:02.104 --> 00:08:04.173
Of almighty god. that defeat was not their destiny. after
00:08:04.240 --> 00:08:06.976
Was not their destiny. after their parents wandered around
00:08:07.043 --> 00:08:08.711
Their parents wandered around the same mountain for forty
00:08:08.778 --> 00:08:10.279
The same mountain for forty years, these children came
00:08:10.346 --> 00:08:12.682
Years, these children came into forty one. they went
00:08:12.748 --> 00:08:14.717
Into forty one. they went into the promised land. they
00:08:14.784 --> 00:08:16.686
Into the promised land. they lived in houses they didn't
00:08:16.752 --> 00:08:18.120
Lived in houses they didn't build. they ate from
00:08:18.187 --> 00:08:19.755
Build. they ate from vineyards they didn't plant,
00:08:19.822 --> 00:08:21.924
Vineyards they didn't plant, in a land flowing with milk
00:08:21.991 --> 00:08:23.726
In a land flowing with milk and honey. abundance, more
00:08:23.793 --> 00:08:26.095
And honey. abundance, more than enough. that happened
00:08:26.162 --> 00:08:28.431
Than enough. that happened after forty years of lack,
00:08:28.497 --> 00:08:30.433
After forty years of lack, forty years of struggle,
00:08:30.499 --> 00:08:32.034
Forty years of struggle, forty years of mediocrity.
00:08:32.101 --> 00:08:34.770
Forty years of mediocrity. there may be things that have
00:08:34.837 --> 00:08:36.038
There may be things that have been in your family a long
00:08:36.105 --> 00:08:37.273
Been in your family a long time, can't get ahead, stuck
00:08:37.340 --> 00:08:40.309
Time, can't get ahead, stuck in a limited environment,
00:08:40.376 --> 00:08:42.178
In a limited environment, unhealthy relationships,
00:08:42.244 --> 00:08:44.313
Unhealthy relationships, people that compromise,
00:08:44.380 --> 00:08:45.615
People that compromise, addictions, loneliness. god
00:08:45.681 --> 00:08:48.017
Addictions, loneliness. god is saying that forty years
00:08:48.084 --> 00:08:49.952
Is saying that forty years has run its course. you're
00:08:50.019 --> 00:08:52.088
Has run its course. you're coming into forty -ne. in
00:08:52.154 --> 00:08:54.490
Coming into forty -ne. in forty-one, you break out of
00:08:54.557 --> 00:08:55.958
Forty-one, you break out of the box and go into your
00:08:56.025 --> 00:08:57.426
The box and go into your promised land. in forty-one,
00:08:57.493 --> 00:09:00.329
Promised land. in forty-one, you see favor that your

You see favor that your family has never seen. in

Family has never seen. in forty-one, there's
00:09:03.966 --> 00:09:05.067
Forty-one, there's opportunity chasing you down,
00:09:05.134 --> 00:09:07.370
Opportunity chasing you down, the right people knocking at
00:09:07.436 --> 00:09:08.738
The right people knocking at your door. in forty-one,
00:09:08.804 --> 00:09:10.840
Your door. in forty-one, there's creativity, ideas,
00:09:10.906 --> 00:09:13.209
There's creativity, ideas, talent that you didn't know
00:09:13.275 --> 00:09:14.510
Talent that you didn't know you had. in forty-one, you're
00:09:14.577 --> 00:09:17.113
You had. in forty-one, you're catapulted into influence,
00:09:17.179 --> 00:09:19.148
Catapulted into influence, leadership, positions of
00:09:19.215 --> 00:09:20.883
Leadership, positions of honor and authority. you may
00:09:20.950 --> 00:09:23.686
Honor and authority. you may be in some wilderness years
00:09:23.753 --> 00:09:25.287
Be in some wilderness years now, where there's struggle
00:09:25.354 --> 00:09:26.956
Now, where there's struggle and adversity, but you have
00:09:27.023 --> 00:09:28.724
And adversity, but you have to know, that is not your
00:09:28.791 --> 00:09:29.992
To know, that is not your destiny. day forty-one is
00:09:30.059 --> 00:09:32.128
Destiny. day forty-one is coming.
00:09:32.194 --> 00:09:33.496
Coming. six months after the rain
00:09:33.562 --> 00:09:34.830
Six months after the rain stopped, the waters began to
00:09:34.897 --> 00:09:36.599
Stopped, the waters began to recede. noah sent a raven out
00:09:36.666 --> 00:09:39.001
Recede. noah sent a raven out to see if it could find dry
00:09:39.068 --> 00:09:40.136
To see if it could find dry ground, hoping he could get
00:09:40.202 --> 00:09:41.937
Ground, hoping he could get off the boat, but the raven
00:09:42.004 --> 00:09:43.639
Off the boat, but the raven came back. there was nowhere
00:09:43.706 --> 00:09:45.608
Came back. there was nowhere to land, it was still
00:09:45.675 --> 00:09:46.575
To land, it was still flooded. noah didn't get
00:09:46.642 --> 00:09:48.644
Flooded. noah didn't get discouraged, thinking it was
00:09:48.711 --> 00:09:50.312
Discouraged, thinking it was never going to change. he
00:09:50.379 --> 00:09:51.881
Never going to change. he waited a few weeks and sent
00:09:51.947 --> 00:09:53.449
Waited a few weeks and sent another bird out. this time
00:09:53.516 --> 00:09:55.651
Another bird out. this time it came back with an olive
00:09:55.718 --> 00:09:56.952
It came back with an olive leaf in its beak. the bird
00:09:57.019 --> 00:09:58.921
Leaf in its beak. the bird couldn't land, but noah knew
00:09:58.988 --> 00:10:00.456
Couldn't land, but noah knew things were getting better. a
00:10:00.523 --> 00:10:02.258
Things were getting better. a week later, he sent a dove
00:10:02.324 --> 00:10:03.726
Week later, he sent a dove out and the dove never
00:10:03.793 --> 00:10:05.227
Out and the dove never returned. there was dry
00:10:05.294 --> 00:10:06.962
Returned. there was dry ground. they were able to get
00:10:07.029 --> 00:10:08.764
Ground. they were able to get off the boat. but notice how
00:10:08.831 --> 00:10:11.000
Off the boat. but notice how noah kept looking, believing,
00:10:11.067 --> 00:10:13.836
Noah kept looking, believing, knowing that the boat was not
00:10:13.903 --> 00:10:15.371
Knowing that the boat was not his destiny. he knew that god
00:10:15.438 --> 00:10:17.773
His destiny. he knew that god was faithful, that it may
00:10:17.840 --> 00:10:19.575
Was faithful, that it may storm for forty days, but day
00:10:19.642 --> 00:10:21.610
Storm for forty days, but day forty-one is coming. when
00:10:21.677 --> 00:10:24.146
Forty-one is coming. when you're in a storm, you have
00:10:24.213 --> 00:10:25.247
You're in a storm, you have to do like noah, keep
00:10:25.314 --> 00:10:26.916
To do like noah, keep expecting things to change.
00:10:26.982 --> 00:10:29.285
Expecting things to change. don't let it become
00:10:29.351 --> 00:10:30.019
Don't let it become permanent. keep sending out
00:10:30.086 --> 00:10:31.587
Permanent. keep sending out that bird so to speak. keep
00:10:31.654 --> 00:10:33.589
That bird so to speak. keep looking for god's goodness.
00:10:33.656 --> 00:10:35.458
Looking for god's goodness. keep believing for your
00:10:35.524 --> 00:10:36.459
Keep believing for your business to turn around. keep
00:10:36.525 --> 00:10:38.294
Business to turn around. keep thanking god that the right
00:10:38.360 --> 00:10:39.762
Thanking god that the right people will show up.
00:10:39.829 --> 00:10:42.364
People will show up. i talked to a lady that was
00:10:42.431 --> 00:10:43.799
I talked to a lady that was in town for treatment at the
00:10:43.866 --> 00:10:45.167
In town for treatment at the medical center. she had been
00:10:45.234 --> 00:10:46.802
Medical center. she had been diagnosed with a rare form of
00:10:46.869 --> 00:10:48.938
Diagnosed with a rare form of kidney cancer; she'd had it
00:10:49.004 --> 00:10:50.673
Kidney cancer; she'd had it for six years. she had been

For six years. she had been through chemotherapy several

Through chemotherapy several times. the doctors had put

Times. the doctors had put her on a special trial,
00:10:56.312 --> 00:10:58.214
Her on a special trial, experimenting with new

Experimenting with new medicines, but with no
00:10:59.148 --> 00:11:00.683
Medicines, but with no success. she would come to

Success. she would come to church when she was in town.
00:11:02.718 --> 00:11:04.286
Church when she was in town. she was always full of faith,
00:11:04.353 --> 00:11:06.455
She was always full of faith, i couldn't encourage her, she
00:11:06.522 --> 00:11:08.724
I couldn't encourage her, she would encourage me. she told
00:11:08.791 --> 00:11:10.126
Would encourage me. she told me how that cancer was
00:11:10.192 --> 00:11:11.293
Me how that cancer was temporary, that it would
00:11:11.360 --> 00:11:12.762
Temporary, that it would pass, that she was going to
00:11:12.828 --> 00:11:14.296
Pass, that she was going to be a testimony of god's
00:11:14.363 --> 00:11:15.831
Be a testimony of god's goodness. i just smiled and

Last sunday, so excited. she showed me the scans of her

Kidney. on one, you could see the dark spot, the cancer,
00:11:26.375 --> 00:11:28.644
The dark spot, the cancer, but on this newest scan, it's
00:11:28.711 --> 00:11:30.179
But on this newest scan, it's perfectly clean. there's no

Trial, she's the only one that's seen improvement. it's
00:11:40.790 --> 00:11:42.892
That's seen improvement. it's not just the medicine, it's
00:11:42.958 --> 00:11:44.527
Not just the medicine, it's jehovah rapha, the lord our
00:11:44.593 --> 00:11:46.362
Jehovah rapha, the lord our healer. what happened? she
00:11:46.428 --> 00:11:48.931
Healer. what happened? she came into a forty-first day.
00:11:48.998 --> 00:11:51.667

Sickness, or some difficulty and you're in your eighteenth

Reminding yourself that day forty-one is coming. that the
00:12:04.547 --> 00:12:06.482
Forty-one is coming. that the storm is not going to last.
00:12:06.549 --> 00:12:08.651
Storm is not going to last. that the trouble is not
00:12:08.717 --> 00:12:09.885
That the trouble is not permanent. that the same god
00:12:09.952 --> 00:12:12.054
Permanent. that the same god that stopped the rain for
00:12:12.121 --> 00:12:13.122
That stopped the rain for noah, is going to stop the

Rain in your life. the same god that took the children of

The israelites into the promised land, is going to
00:12:19.862 --> 00:12:21.564
Promised land, is going to take you into your promised

Land. where there's no more wandering, no more sickness,

Wandering, no more sickness, no more can't get ahead. day
00:12:27.303 --> 00:12:29.738
No more can't get ahead. day forty-one is on your
00:12:29.805 --> 00:12:31.273
Forty-one is on your calendar. god has already
00:12:31.340 --> 00:12:33.409
Calendar. god has already scheduled the turnaround, the

Healing. he's already lined up the breakthrough, the
00:12:37.313 --> 00:12:38.647
Up the breakthrough, the divine connections. it's just
00:12:38.714 --> 00:12:40.416
Divine connections. it's just a matter of time before the
00:12:40.482 --> 00:12:42.084
A matter of time before the winds cease, the waters
00:12:42.151 --> 00:12:43.919
Winds cease, the waters recede, and you step in to a
00:12:43.986 --> 00:12:46.488
Recede, and you step in to a new level of your destiny.
00:12:46.555 --> 00:12:48.958
New level of your destiny. the scripture says, “don't
00:12:49.024 --> 00:12:50.492
The scripture says, “don't think it strange when you
00:12:50.559 --> 00:12:51.961
Think it strange when you face fiery trials, that test
00:12:52.027 --> 00:12:54.530
Face fiery trials, that test the quality of your faith.”
00:12:54.597 --> 00:12:56.832
The quality of your faith.” sometimes the forty days is
00:12:56.899 --> 00:12:58.767
Sometimes the forty days is simply a test. it's a time to
00:12:58.834 --> 00:13:01.036
Simply a test. it's a time to prove to god who you are. to
00:13:01.103 --> 00:13:03.405
Prove to god who you are. to show him you're not going to
00:13:03.472 --> 00:13:05.107
Show him you're not going to be discouraged by the rain.
00:13:05.174 --> 00:13:06.442
Be discouraged by the rain. you're not going to get
00:13:06.508 --> 00:13:08.043
You're not going to get bitter over who did you
00:13:08.110 --> 00:13:09.111
Bitter over who did you wrong. you're not going to
00:13:09.178 --> 00:13:10.646
Wrong. you're not going to complain because your plans
00:13:10.713 --> 00:13:12.548
Complain because your plans didn't work out, your
00:13:12.615 --> 00:13:14.049
Didn't work out, your business hasn't taken off,
00:13:14.116 --> 00:13:15.484
Business hasn't taken off, you lost a loved one. your
00:13:15.551 --> 00:13:18.120
You lost a loved one. your attitude in the storm, how we
00:13:18.187 --> 00:13:20.522
Attitude in the storm, how we respond to the trials will
00:13:20.589 --> 00:13:22.524
Respond to the trials will have a great impact on when
00:13:22.591 --> 00:13:24.593
Have a great impact on when we see that forty-first day.
00:13:24.660 --> 00:13:27.029
We see that forty-first day. when you show god that you
00:13:27.096 --> 00:13:28.364
When you show god that you trust him, you're not moved
00:13:28.430 --> 00:13:30.599
Trust him, you're not moved by the rain, you're still
00:13:30.666 --> 00:13:32.001
By the rain, you're still believing, praising,
00:13:32.067 --> 00:13:33.769
Believing, praising, thanking, smiling, you're
00:13:33.836 --> 00:13:35.437
Thanking, smiling, you're passing the test. that's when
00:13:35.504 --> 00:13:37.473
Passing the test. that's when he'll release greater things
00:13:37.539 --> 00:13:39.174
He'll release greater things in your life.
00:13:39.241 --> 00:13:40.809
In your life. when jesus was baptized by
00:13:40.876 --> 00:13:42.244
When jesus was baptized by john the baptist, he came up
00:13:42.311 --> 00:13:44.213
John the baptist, he came up out of the water, the dove
00:13:44.280 --> 00:13:46.282
Out of the water, the dove landed on his shoulder. a
00:13:46.348 --> 00:13:48.150
Landed on his shoulder. a voice boomed out of the
00:13:48.217 --> 00:13:49.084
Voice boomed out of the heavens, “this is my beloved
00:13:49.151 --> 00:13:51.253
Heavens, “this is my beloved son, in whom i am well
00:13:51.320 --> 00:13:52.655
Son, in whom i am well pleased.” it was an
00:13:52.721 --> 00:13:53.889
Pleased.” it was an incredible moment, where
00:13:53.956 --> 00:13:55.691
Incredible moment, where jesus' was publicly announced
00:13:55.758 --> 00:13:57.693
Jesus' was publicly announced for the first time. you would
00:13:57.760 --> 00:13:59.595
For the first time. you would think jesus would go to the
00:13:59.662 --> 00:14:01.163
Think jesus would go to the city and start healing people
00:14:01.230 --> 00:14:02.898
City and start healing people and doing great miracles. i'm
00:14:02.965 --> 00:14:05.334
And doing great miracles. i'm sure he was all fired up and
00:14:05.401 --> 00:14:06.735
Sure he was all fired up and ready to go. but the
00:14:06.802 --> 00:14:08.604
Ready to go. but the scripture says, “the spirit
00:14:08.671 --> 00:14:11.006
Scripture says, “the spirit led him into the wilderness
00:14:11.073 --> 00:14:12.908
Led him into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.”
00:14:12.975 --> 00:14:14.410
To be tempted by the devil.” it doesn't say the enemy led
00:14:14.476 --> 00:14:16.979
It doesn't say the enemy led him there, that the
00:14:17.046 --> 00:14:18.113
Him there, that the opposition was trying to hold
00:14:18.180 --> 00:14:19.648
Opposition was trying to hold him back. it said god led him
00:14:19.715 --> 00:14:22.284
Him back. it said god led him to the desert for a period of
00:14:22.351 --> 00:14:24.286
To the desert for a period of testing. you can be in god's
00:14:24.353 --> 00:14:26.922
Testing. you can be in god's will and be in the desert.
00:14:26.989 --> 00:14:29.591
Will and be in the desert. for forty days, the enemy
00:14:29.658 --> 00:14:31.126
For forty days, the enemy tempted jesus, “you're
00:14:31.193 --> 00:14:32.761
Tempted jesus, “you're hungry. turn these stones
00:14:32.828 --> 00:14:34.563
Hungry. turn these stones into bread. bow down and
00:14:34.630 --> 00:14:36.632
Into bread. bow down and worship me, i'll give you the
00:14:36.699 --> 00:14:37.766
Worship me, i'll give you the kingdoms of the world. jump
00:14:37.833 --> 00:14:39.368
Kingdoms of the world. jump off this building and prove
00:14:39.435 --> 00:14:40.569
Off this building and prove that you're the son of god.”
00:14:40.636 --> 00:14:42.404
That you're the son of god.” forty days, it was a
00:14:42.471 --> 00:14:43.472
Forty days, it was a struggle. jesus was hungry.
00:14:43.539 --> 00:14:46.375
Struggle. jesus was hungry. he had been fasting. he had
00:14:46.442 --> 00:14:48.444
He had been fasting. he had to endure, resist, outlast.
00:14:48.510 --> 00:14:52.014
To endure, resist, outlast. but he passed the test and
00:14:52.081 --> 00:14:53.882
But he passed the test and proved that he was faithful,
00:14:53.949 --> 00:14:55.718
Proved that he was faithful, that he wouldn't compromise.
00:14:55.784 --> 00:14:57.486
That he wouldn't compromise. forty days it was difficult,
00:14:57.553 --> 00:14:59.922
Forty days it was difficult, then day forty-one came.
00:14:59.989 --> 00:15:01.991
Then day forty-one came. angels showed up to
00:15:02.057 --> 00:15:03.258
Angels showed up to strengthen him and empower
00:15:03.325 --> 00:15:05.160
Strengthen him and empower him. day forty-one jesus came
00:15:05.227 --> 00:15:08.130
Him. day forty-one jesus came out of the desert, the
00:15:08.197 --> 00:15:09.698
Out of the desert, the scripture says, “in the power
00:15:09.765 --> 00:15:11.600
Scripture says, “in the power of the spirit.” he stepped
00:15:11.667 --> 00:15:13.602
Of the spirit.” he stepped into a new authority, a new
00:15:13.669 --> 00:15:15.537
Into a new authority, a new anointing, a new dimension of
00:15:15.604 --> 00:15:17.473
Anointing, a new dimension of his destiny.
00:15:17.539 --> 00:15:19.074
His destiny. it says in luke that he went
00:15:19.141 --> 00:15:20.809
It says in luke that he went to the temple, stood up in
00:15:20.876 --> 00:15:22.611
To the temple, stood up in front of the people and read
00:15:22.678 --> 00:15:24.646
Front of the people and read the scroll of isaiah. it
00:15:24.713 --> 00:15:27.416
The scroll of isaiah. it said, “the spirit of the lord
00:15:27.483 --> 00:15:29.251
Said, “the spirit of the lord is upon me to preach the good
00:15:29.318 --> 00:15:31.353
Is upon me to preach the good news, to heal the sick, to
00:15:31.420 --> 00:15:33.789
News, to heal the sick, to set at liberty those that are
00:15:33.856 --> 00:15:35.524
Set at liberty those that are captive, to declare the
00:15:35.591 --> 00:15:36.959
Captive, to declare the acceptable year of god's
00:15:37.026 --> 00:15:38.560
Acceptable year of god's favor.” he rolled the scroll
00:15:38.627 --> 00:15:41.163
Favor.” he rolled the scroll up and said, “this day this
00:15:41.230 --> 00:15:43.632
Up and said, “this day this scripture is fulfilled.”
00:15:43.699 --> 00:15:45.834
Scripture is fulfilled.” seven hundred years earlier,
00:15:45.901 --> 00:15:48.003
Seven hundred years earlier, isaiah had written this
00:15:48.070 --> 00:15:49.438
Isaiah had written this prophecy. jesus said today
00:15:49.505 --> 00:15:52.241
Prophecy. jesus said today it's coming to pass. after
00:15:52.307 --> 00:15:54.643
It's coming to pass. after being tempted for forty days,
00:15:54.710 --> 00:15:57.012
Being tempted for forty days, on day forty-one, jesus
00:15:57.079 --> 00:15:59.281
On day forty-one, jesus stepped in to what was
00:15:59.348 --> 00:16:00.883
Stepped in to what was declared about him hundreds
00:16:00.949 --> 00:16:02.718
Declared about him hundreds of years earlier.
00:16:02.785 --> 00:16:04.520
Of years earlier. you may be in a time of
00:16:04.586 --> 00:16:05.888
You may be in a time of testing and proving now. it's
00:16:05.954 --> 00:16:08.524
Testing and proving now. it's difficult, but you're keeping

Difficult, but you're keeping the right attitude. the
00:16:10.459 --> 00:16:12.161
The right attitude. the medical report hasn't
00:16:12.227 --> 00:16:13.495
Medical report hasn't improved, but you keep
00:16:13.562 --> 00:16:14.797
Improved, but you keep thanking god for healing.
00:16:14.863 --> 00:16:16.899
Thanking god for healing. people at work don't give you
00:16:16.965 --> 00:16:18.200
People at work don't give you the credit, but you keep
00:16:18.267 --> 00:16:19.668
The credit, but you keep being your best each day. you
00:16:19.735 --> 00:16:21.804
Being your best each day. you could be bitter over the door
00:16:21.870 --> 00:16:23.372
Could be bitter over the door that closed, the person that
00:16:23.439 --> 00:16:25.107
That closed, the person that walked away, but you know god
00:16:25.174 --> 00:16:27.176
Walked away, but you know god has something better coming.
00:16:27.242 --> 00:16:29.211
Has something better coming. you're passing the test. like

And power that you've never felt, but you're going to
00:16:40.189 --> 00:16:41.690
Felt, but you're going to step into things that god
00:16:41.757 --> 00:16:43.525
Step into things that god prophesied over you long

Prophesied over you long before you got here. things
00:16:45.861 --> 00:16:47.563
Before you got here. things he's spoken over your destiny

He's spoken over your destiny before you were born. god
00:16:49.798 --> 00:16:52.234
Before you were born. god said to jeremiah, “before you
00:16:52.301 --> 00:16:54.203
Said to jeremiah, “before you were formed in your mother's
00:16:54.269 --> 00:16:55.671
Were formed in your mother's womb, i ordained you to be a
00:16:55.737 --> 00:16:58.474
Womb, i ordained you to be a prophet to the nations.” on

You've imagined. now don't get discouraged in the

Get discouraged in the testing, in the wilderness

Seasons. those are times of proving where you have to

Easy way out. everyone is doing it.” no stand strong.
