God bless you. i want to talk to you today
00:01:32.182 --> 00:01:33.216
I want to talk to you today about your time is coming.
00:01:33.283 --> 00:01:35.952
About your time is coming. we all have things that we're
00:01:36.019 --> 00:01:37.086
We all have things that we're believing for, a dream to
00:01:37.153 --> 00:01:38.955
Believing for, a dream to come to pass; problems to
00:01:39.022 --> 00:01:40.790
Come to pass; problems to turn around.
00:01:40.857 --> 00:01:41.958
Turn around. at one time we knew it was
00:01:42.025 --> 00:01:43.393
At one time we knew it was going to happen, we stood in
00:01:43.459 --> 00:01:44.894
Going to happen, we stood in faith, but when it's been a
00:01:44.961 --> 00:01:46.563
Faith, but when it's been a long time, we don't see
00:01:46.629 --> 00:01:48.298
Long time, we don't see anything improving, it's easy
00:01:48.364 --> 00:01:50.200
Anything improving, it's easy to get discouraged and think
00:01:50.266 --> 00:01:51.734
To get discouraged and think that it wasn't meant to be.
00:01:51.801 --> 00:01:53.803
That it wasn't meant to be. but just because you've given
00:01:53.870 --> 00:01:55.271
But just because you've given up, doesn't mean that god has
00:01:55.338 --> 00:01:57.006
Up, doesn't mean that god has given up.
00:01:57.073 --> 00:01:58.007
Given up. god doesn't abort dreams.
00:01:58.074 --> 00:02:00.310
God doesn't abort dreams. the delays, the detours, the
00:02:00.376 --> 00:02:02.312
The delays, the detours, the disappointments, didn't stop
00:02:02.378 --> 00:02:04.280
Disappointments, didn't stop god's plan.
00:02:04.347 --> 00:02:05.448
God's plan. what he started in your life
00:02:05.515 --> 00:02:07.317
What he started in your life he's going to finish.
00:02:07.383 --> 00:02:09.252
He's going to finish. the scripture says,
00:02:09.319 --> 00:02:10.253
The scripture says, "what god has purposed,
00:02:10.320 --> 00:02:12.288
"what god has purposed, who can annul it?"
00:02:12.355 --> 00:02:13.923
Who can annul it?" it may seem like what you're
00:02:13.990 --> 00:02:15.158
It may seem like what you're believing for could never
00:02:15.225 --> 00:02:16.693
Believing for could never come to pass, it's too late,
00:02:16.759 --> 00:02:18.995
Come to pass, it's too late, the odds are against you.
00:02:19.062 --> 00:02:20.563
The odds are against you. god is saying, "your
00:02:20.630 --> 00:02:21.998
God is saying, "your time is coming."
00:02:22.065 --> 00:02:23.866
Time is coming." he has not forgotten about
00:02:23.933 --> 00:02:25.568
He has not forgotten about you. he has seen the lonely
00:02:25.635 --> 00:02:27.470
You. he has seen the lonely nights. he's seen the
00:02:27.537 --> 00:02:29.138
Nights. he's seen the unfair situations, the times
00:02:29.205 --> 00:02:31.307
Unfair situations, the times you're doing the right

Thing and not getting the credit, the illness
00:02:33.309 --> 00:02:34.811
The credit, the illness isn't improving, the child
00:02:34.877 --> 00:02:36.412
Isn't improving, the child isn't doing better.
00:02:36.479 --> 00:02:37.880
Isn't doing better. voices whisper, "it will
00:02:37.947 --> 00:02:39.215
Voices whisper, "it will never change."
00:02:39.282 --> 00:02:40.617
Never change." don't believe those lies.
00:02:40.683 --> 00:02:42.085
Don't believe those lies. healing is coming, promotion
00:02:42.151 --> 00:02:44.120
Healing is coming, promotion is coming, freedom is coming.
00:02:44.187 --> 00:02:46.055
Is coming, freedom is coming. god has already put it on the

God has already put it on the schedule. the date has
00:02:48.224 --> 00:02:49.726
Schedule. the date has already been ordained.

Psalm 102 says, "there is a set time for favor."
00:02:54.230 --> 00:02:56.599
A set time for favor." you keep honoring god, doing

You keep honoring god, doing the right thing, and you're
00:02:58.534 --> 00:02:59.769
The right thing, and you're going to come into some of

Going to come into some of your set times.

Your set times. times that god will show out
00:03:03.006 --> 00:03:04.641
Times that god will show out in your life, times that you

In your life, times that you will see explosive blessings.

You came in to your set time. if you could see what god has

If you could see what god has on your calendar, you

Praying and believing. but instead of complaining,

But instead of complaining, living discouraged, all

Living discouraged, all through the day, "father

You didn't miss your chance. you wouldn't be alive if god

You wouldn't be alive if god didn't have something amazing
00:04:12.909 --> 00:04:14.477
Didn't have something amazing in your future.

Brothers. they were bigger, taller, had more experience.
00:04:28.925 --> 00:04:31.227
Taller, had more experience. david's father, jesse, didn't
00:04:31.294 --> 00:04:33.429
David's father, jesse, didn't bother to bring david in from
00:04:33.496 --> 00:04:35.231
Bother to bring david in from the shepherd's fields.
00:04:35.298 --> 00:04:36.632
The shepherd's fields. he thought david is not king
00:04:36.699 --> 00:04:38.568
He thought david is not king material.
00:04:38.634 --> 00:04:39.635
Material. he's too small, too young,
00:04:39.702 --> 00:04:41.804
He's too small, too young, not as talented as his

Not as talented as his brothers."
00:04:43.139 --> 00:04:44.073
Brothers." samuel looked at the other
00:04:44.140 --> 00:04:45.508
Samuel looked at the other brothers and said, "it's
00:04:45.575 --> 00:04:46.909
Brothers and said, "it's none of these, do you
00:04:46.976 --> 00:04:48.211
None of these, do you have another son?"
00:04:48.277 --> 00:04:50.012
Have another son?" jesse had david come in.
00:04:50.079 --> 00:04:52.081
Jesse had david come in. when samuel saw him, he said,
00:04:52.148 --> 00:04:54.217

Israel." people judge by the outside,
00:04:56.919 --> 00:04:59.055

People write you off. promotion doesn't come from
00:05:07.296 --> 00:05:08.564
Promotion doesn't come from people; it comes from god.
00:05:08.631 --> 00:05:11.000
People; it comes from god. god sees you have a heart
00:05:11.067 --> 00:05:12.769

00:05:16.139 --> 00:05:17.774
Integrity, your spirit of excellence.
00:05:17.840 --> 00:05:18.875
Excellence. what's on the inside is more
00:05:18.941 --> 00:05:20.576
What's on the inside is more powerful than what's on the
00:05:20.643 --> 00:05:22.078
Powerful than what's on the outside.
00:05:22.145 --> 00:05:23.646
Outside. david was anointed to be the
00:05:23.713 --> 00:05:25.314
David was anointed to be the next king, but he didn't go
00:05:25.381 --> 00:05:27.083
Next king, but he didn't go to the palace, he went back
00:05:27.150 --> 00:05:28.751
To the palace, he went back to the shepherd's fields
00:05:28.818 --> 00:05:30.019
To the shepherd's fields where he was before and took
00:05:30.086 --> 00:05:31.721
Where he was before and took care of his father's sheep.
00:05:31.788 --> 00:05:33.790
Care of his father's sheep. he was anointed before he was
00:05:33.856 --> 00:05:36.192
He was anointed before he was appointed.
00:05:36.259 --> 00:05:37.427
Appointed. he knew big things were in
00:05:37.493 --> 00:05:38.694
He knew big things were in him, he knew he was going to
00:05:38.761 --> 00:05:40.229
Him, he knew he was going to leave his mark but month
00:05:40.296 --> 00:05:41.998
Leave his mark but month after month he was stuck in
00:05:42.064 --> 00:05:43.966
After month he was stuck in the lonely shepherd's fields,
00:05:44.033 --> 00:05:45.802
The lonely shepherd's fields, doing what seemed like a
00:05:45.868 --> 00:05:46.836
Doing what seemed like a menial job, feeding sheep,
00:05:46.903 --> 00:05:49.405
Menial job, feeding sheep, cleaning up their waste,
00:05:49.472 --> 00:05:50.706
Cleaning up their waste, shoveling manure.
00:05:50.773 --> 00:05:52.375
Shoveling manure. he could have thought,
00:05:52.442 --> 00:05:53.042
He could have thought, "god, you said i would be
00:05:53.109 --> 00:05:54.677
"god, you said i would be king. you had samuel anoint
00:05:54.744 --> 00:05:56.913
King. you had samuel anoint me. why am i still stuck out
00:05:56.979 --> 00:05:58.881
Me. why am i still stuck out here? i have so much more
00:05:58.948 --> 00:06:00.249
Here? i have so much more in me." but david understood
00:06:00.316 --> 00:06:02.618
In me." but david understood this principle.
00:06:02.685 --> 00:06:03.653
This principle. that his time was coming.
00:06:03.719 --> 00:06:05.655
That his time was coming. what god promised was already
00:06:05.721 --> 00:06:07.523
What god promised was already on the schedule, that the
00:06:07.590 --> 00:06:08.925
On the schedule, that the date had already been set.
00:06:08.991 --> 00:06:11.961
Date had already been set. even though david was doing
00:06:12.028 --> 00:06:13.429
Even though david was doing a menial thing, taking care
00:06:13.496 --> 00:06:15.364
A menial thing, taking care of sheep, he kept being his
00:06:15.431 --> 00:06:17.200
Of sheep, he kept being his best. nobody was watching
00:06:17.266 --> 00:06:19.368
Best. nobody was watching him. he didn't have a
00:06:19.435 --> 00:06:20.670
Him. he didn't have a supervisor. he wasn't
00:06:20.736 --> 00:06:22.338
Supervisor. he wasn't clocking in. he could have
00:06:22.405 --> 00:06:23.673
Clocking in. he could have slacked off, done just enough
00:06:23.739 --> 00:06:25.641
Slacked off, done just enough to get by. but david went
00:06:25.708 --> 00:06:27.710
To get by. but david went the extra mile to watch over
00:06:27.777 --> 00:06:29.612
The extra mile to watch over those sheep. he fought off
00:06:29.679 --> 00:06:31.314
Those sheep. he fought off wild animals, kept them from
00:06:31.380 --> 00:06:33.082
Wild animals, kept them from harm, made sure they had
00:06:33.149 --> 00:06:34.684
Harm, made sure they had food and water. he had a
00:06:34.750 --> 00:06:36.219
Food and water. he had a spirit of excellence.
00:06:36.285 --> 00:06:38.254
Spirit of excellence. because he proved to god he
00:06:38.321 --> 00:06:40.256
Because he proved to god he would be faithful taking care
00:06:40.323 --> 00:06:41.724
Would be faithful taking care of sheep, god trusted him to
00:06:41.791 --> 00:06:44.327
Of sheep, god trusted him to take care of his people.
00:06:44.393 --> 00:06:46.429
Take care of his people. if you're not faithful in the
00:06:46.496 --> 00:06:47.763
If you're not faithful in the wilderness, how can god trust
00:06:47.830 --> 00:06:49.765
Wilderness, how can god trust you to be faithful in the
00:06:49.832 --> 00:06:51.400
You to be faithful in the promised land?
00:06:51.467 --> 00:06:53.035
Promised land? like david most of the time,
00:06:53.102 --> 00:06:55.338
Like david most of the time, you will be anointed before
00:06:55.404 --> 00:06:57.406
You will be anointed before you're appointed.
00:06:57.473 --> 00:06:58.841
You're appointed. you'll have the promise, the
00:06:58.908 --> 00:07:00.409
You'll have the promise, the dream, the calling but you
00:07:00.476 --> 00:07:02.211
Dream, the calling but you won't go straight to the
00:07:02.278 --> 00:07:03.179
Won't go straight to the throne. you'll go back to
00:07:03.246 --> 00:07:04.714
Throne. you'll go back to the shepherd's fields.
00:07:04.780 --> 00:07:06.349
The shepherd's fields. how you respond when you're
00:07:06.415 --> 00:07:08.217
How you respond when you're anointed but not appointed
00:07:08.284 --> 00:07:10.653
Anointed but not appointed will determine whether you
00:07:10.720 --> 00:07:12.054
Will determine whether you make it to the palace.
00:07:12.121 --> 00:07:13.923
Make it to the palace. you have to be your best
00:07:13.990 --> 00:07:15.391
You have to be your best right where you are.
00:07:15.458 --> 00:07:16.959
Right where you are. you may have bigger things in
00:07:17.026 --> 00:07:18.427
You may have bigger things in you. you know you're going
00:07:18.494 --> 00:07:19.762
You. you know you're going to lead that department;
00:07:19.829 --> 00:07:21.397
To lead that department; you're going to teach the
00:07:21.464 --> 00:07:22.298
You're going to teach the class; you're going to run
00:07:22.365 --> 00:07:23.733
Class; you're going to run the business. the promise is
00:07:23.799 --> 00:07:25.568
The business. the promise is in your heart. you've been
00:07:25.635 --> 00:07:27.069
In your heart. you've been anointed so to speak, but
00:07:27.136 --> 00:07:29.071
Anointed so to speak, but you're doing something much
00:07:29.138 --> 00:07:30.006
You're doing something much smaller than what's in you.
00:07:30.072 --> 00:07:32.275
Smaller than what's in you. will you give it your all
00:07:32.341 --> 00:07:33.910
Will you give it your all even though you're
00:07:33.976 --> 00:07:34.644
Even though you're overqualified for that
00:07:34.710 --> 00:07:36.012
Overqualified for that position? will you serve
00:07:36.078 --> 00:07:37.713
Position? will you serve others even though you have
00:07:37.780 --> 00:07:39.482
Others even though you have more experience than them?
00:07:39.549 --> 00:07:41.350
More experience than them? if you'll pass the test of
00:07:41.417 --> 00:07:43.219
If you'll pass the test of being faithful in the small,
00:07:43.286 --> 00:07:45.087
Being faithful in the small, then god will trust you with
00:07:45.154 --> 00:07:46.489
Then god will trust you with much.
00:07:46.556 --> 00:07:47.857
Much. you may have had unfair
00:07:47.924 --> 00:07:49.125
You may have had unfair things happen, people left
00:07:49.191 --> 00:07:50.960
Things happen, people left you out, tried to discredit
00:07:51.027 --> 00:07:52.595
You out, tried to discredit you. god saw what happened.
00:07:52.662 --> 00:07:55.231
You. god saw what happened. he's keeping the records.
00:07:55.298 --> 00:07:56.933
He's keeping the records. he hasn't forgotten about
00:07:56.999 --> 00:07:58.434
He hasn't forgotten about you. it may seem like you're
00:07:58.501 --> 00:08:00.403
You. it may seem like you're falling behind. you could
00:08:00.469 --> 00:08:02.204
Falling behind. you could never reach your dreams now,
00:08:02.271 --> 00:08:03.739
Never reach your dreams now, it's too late. you've been
00:08:03.806 --> 00:08:05.374
It's too late. you've been stuck out in the shepherd's
00:08:05.441 --> 00:08:06.475
Stuck out in the shepherd's fields for too long.
00:08:06.542 --> 00:08:08.110
Fields for too long. no, your time is coming.
00:08:08.177 --> 00:08:10.446
No, your time is coming. keep doing the right thing
00:08:10.513 --> 00:08:12.114
Keep doing the right thing when the wrong thing is
00:08:12.181 --> 00:08:13.215
When the wrong thing is happening. keep being good
00:08:13.282 --> 00:08:14.951
Happening. keep being good to people that are not
00:08:15.017 --> 00:08:16.052
To people that are not being good to you.
00:08:16.118 --> 00:08:17.386
Being good to you. you're going to come in to
00:08:17.453 --> 00:08:18.521
You're going to come in to one of these set times where
00:08:18.588 --> 00:08:20.323
One of these set times where god catapults you ahead.
00:08:20.389 --> 00:08:22.959
God catapults you ahead. sometimes god does things
00:08:23.025 --> 00:08:24.427
Sometimes god does things gradually, little by little
00:08:24.493 --> 00:08:26.495
Gradually, little by little but there are moments where
00:08:26.562 --> 00:08:27.897
But there are moments where god will thrust you twenty
00:08:27.964 --> 00:08:29.765
God will thrust you twenty years ahead. he'll not only
00:08:29.832 --> 00:08:31.667
Years ahead. he'll not only make up for lost time, but
00:08:31.734 --> 00:08:33.269
Make up for lost time, but he'll accelerate things.
00:08:33.336 --> 00:08:35.605
He'll accelerate things. david went overnight from
00:08:35.671 --> 00:08:37.640
David went overnight from working in the shepherd's
00:08:37.707 --> 00:08:38.708
Working in the shepherd's fields, the lowest position,
00:08:38.774 --> 00:08:41.210
Fields, the lowest position, to working with the king,
00:08:41.277 --> 00:08:42.712
To working with the king, the highest position.
00:08:42.778 --> 00:08:44.480
The highest position. he didn't have to make it
00:08:44.547 --> 00:08:45.481
He didn't have to make it happen, try to manipulate
00:08:45.548 --> 00:08:47.283
Happen, try to manipulate things, talk people into
00:08:47.350 --> 00:08:48.684
Things, talk people into helping him, the king sent
00:08:48.751 --> 00:08:50.853
Helping him, the king sent for him.
00:08:50.920 --> 00:08:52.321
For him. like with david, you're going
00:08:52.388 --> 00:08:53.789
Like with david, you're going to see opportunity that comes
00:08:53.856 --> 00:08:55.925
To see opportunity that comes looking for you that puts you
00:08:55.992 --> 00:08:57.994
Looking for you that puts you years down the road.
00:08:58.060 --> 00:08:59.295
Years down the road. you're going to think,
00:08:59.362 --> 00:09:00.930
You're going to think, "how did i get here?
00:09:00.997 --> 00:09:02.298
"how did i get here? i didn't have the
00:09:02.365 --> 00:09:02.965
I didn't have the qualifications, i wasn't next
00:09:03.032 --> 00:09:05.001
Qualifications, i wasn't next in line, this should have
00:09:05.067 --> 00:09:06.602
In line, this should have taken me my whole life."
00:09:06.669 --> 00:09:08.337
Taken me my whole life." but suddenly god is going
00:09:08.404 --> 00:09:09.872
But suddenly god is going to thrust you ahead.
00:09:09.939 --> 00:09:11.707
To thrust you ahead. get ready for some set times
00:09:11.774 --> 00:09:13.976
Get ready for some set times of acceleration.
00:09:14.043 --> 00:09:16.245
Of acceleration. hebrews says, "don't cast
00:09:16.312 --> 00:09:18.247
Hebrews says, "don't cast away your confidence for
00:09:18.314 --> 00:09:20.082
Away your confidence for it will be richly rewarded."
00:09:20.149 --> 00:09:22.652
It will be richly rewarded." it's easy to hear this and
00:09:22.718 --> 00:09:23.853
It's easy to hear this and think, "joel this is never
00:09:23.919 --> 00:09:25.354
Think, "joel this is never going to happen for me.
00:09:25.421 --> 00:09:26.922
Going to happen for me. i've had a lot a bad breaks;
00:09:26.989 --> 00:09:28.858
I've had a lot a bad breaks; i have big obstacles in my
00:09:28.924 --> 00:09:30.326
I have big obstacles in my path, i'm way behind where
00:09:30.393 --> 00:09:32.328
Path, i'm way behind where i should be."
00:09:32.395 --> 00:09:33.496
I should be." that kind of thinking is
00:09:33.562 --> 00:09:34.797
That kind of thinking is going to limit your life.
00:09:34.864 --> 00:09:36.632
Going to limit your life. that's casting away your
00:09:36.699 --> 00:09:38.200
That's casting away your confidence.
00:09:38.267 --> 00:09:39.635
Confidence. god is saying, "your time
00:09:39.702 --> 00:09:41.804
God is saying, "your time is coming, i'm about to do
00:09:41.871 --> 00:09:43.773
Is coming, i'm about to do something unusual,
00:09:43.839 --> 00:09:45.174
Something unusual, something uncommon.
00:09:45.241 --> 00:09:46.709
Something uncommon. i'm going to thrust you
00:09:46.776 --> 00:09:47.843
I'm going to thrust you ahead. i'm going to free
00:09:47.910 --> 00:09:49.712
Ahead. i'm going to free you from that addiction
00:09:49.779 --> 00:09:50.946
You from that addiction you've struggled with for
00:09:51.013 --> 00:09:51.881
You've struggled with for years, i'm going to
00:09:51.947 --> 00:09:53.115
Years, i'm going to vindicate you and pay you
00:09:53.182 --> 00:09:54.650
Vindicate you and pay you back for the wrongs,
00:09:54.717 --> 00:09:56.085
Back for the wrongs, i'm going to take you from
00:09:56.152 --> 00:09:57.219
I'm going to take you from insignificant, mediocre, to
00:09:57.286 --> 00:09:59.355
Insignificant, mediocre, to influential and powerful."
00:09:59.422 --> 00:10:01.190
Influential and powerful." now you have to get in
00:10:01.257 --> 00:10:02.925
Now you have to get in agreement with god.
00:10:02.992 --> 00:10:04.760
Agreement with god. if you'll start thanking him
00:10:04.827 --> 00:10:06.228
If you'll start thanking him that your time is coming,
00:10:06.295 --> 00:10:07.997
That your time is coming, talking like it's going to
00:10:08.064 --> 00:10:08.998
Talking like it's going to happen, believing that it's
00:10:09.065 --> 00:10:10.566
Happen, believing that it's on the way.
00:10:10.633 --> 00:10:11.434
On the way. that's what it means to not
00:10:11.500 --> 00:10:13.169
That's what it means to not cast away your confidence.
00:10:13.235 --> 00:10:15.604
Cast away your confidence. when you do this god promises
00:10:15.671 --> 00:10:17.907
When you do this god promises it will be richly rewarded.
00:10:17.973 --> 00:10:20.643
It will be richly rewarded. look at how good god is.
00:10:20.710 --> 00:10:22.611
Look at how good god is. not just rewarded, that would
00:10:22.678 --> 00:10:24.647
Not just rewarded, that would be fine, but god will exceed
00:10:24.714 --> 00:10:26.949
Be fine, but god will exceed your expectations.
00:10:27.016 --> 00:10:28.317
Your expectations. he'll make things happen
00:10:28.384 --> 00:10:29.852
He'll make things happen that you didn't see coming.
00:10:29.919 --> 00:10:31.754
That you didn't see coming. now don't get talked out
00:10:31.821 --> 00:10:33.122
Now don't get talked out of your dreams.
00:10:33.189 --> 00:10:34.490

Unfortunately, he was turned down. he was so disappointed.
00:11:27.309 --> 00:11:29.612

Being sour he kept believing that his time was coming.
00:11:44.693 --> 00:11:46.695
That his time was coming. he knew god didn't bring him
00:11:46.762 --> 00:11:48.397
He knew god didn't bring him this far to leave him.
00:11:48.464 --> 00:11:50.599
This far to leave him. when things happen that

Our ways. he doesn't always take us down the path that
00:12:03.646 --> 00:12:04.947
Take us down the path that we thought.
00:12:05.014 --> 00:12:06.048

00:12:06.115 --> 00:12:07.483
There will be times that doors close that don't make

Is going to come looking for you.
00:15:58.180 --> 00:15:59.481
For you. joseph was brought to the
00:15:59.548 --> 00:16:00.716
Joseph was brought to the palace hastily.
00:16:00.783 --> 00:16:02.651
Palace hastily. he wasn't expecting it.
00:16:02.718 --> 00:16:04.453
He wasn't expecting it. it was an ordinary day,
00:16:04.520 --> 00:16:06.188
It was an ordinary day, nothing special and suddenly
00:16:06.255 --> 00:16:08.524
Nothing special and suddenly he was in the palace.
00:16:08.590 --> 00:16:10.059
He was in the palace. he didn't see it coming.
00:16:10.125 --> 00:16:11.160
He didn't see it coming. there wasn't any sign of it.
00:16:11.226 --> 00:16:13.162
There wasn't any sign of it. he woke up a slave in prison,
00:16:13.228 --> 00:16:15.597
He woke up a slave in prison, he went to bed that night
00:16:15.664 --> 00:16:17.099
He went to bed that night the prime minister.
00:16:17.166 --> 00:16:19.068
The prime minister. god has some of these
00:16:19.134 --> 00:16:20.402
God has some of these 'suddenlies' in your future.
00:16:20.469 --> 00:16:22.604
'suddenlies' in your future. you don't see anything
00:16:22.671 --> 00:16:23.639
You don't see anything improving, everything looks
00:16:23.705 --> 00:16:25.374
Improving, everything looks the same and you come in to
00:16:25.441 --> 00:16:27.309
The same and you come in to a set time. it's going to
00:16:27.376 --> 00:16:29.044
A set time. it's going to happen hastily, in a hurry,
00:16:29.111 --> 00:16:31.880
Happen hastily, in a hurry, quickly things turn around,
00:16:31.947 --> 00:16:33.816
Quickly things turn around, quickly the door opens,
00:16:33.882 --> 00:16:35.084
Quickly the door opens, quickly your health

Quickly your health improves.
00:16:36.351 --> 00:16:37.453
Improves. it may be difficult now,
00:16:37.519 --> 00:16:39.254
It may be difficult now, but you don't know any
00:16:39.321 --> 00:16:40.556
But you don't know any moment you could get that
00:16:40.622 --> 00:16:41.990
Moment you could get that call like joseph did.
00:16:42.057 --> 00:16:43.926
Call like joseph did. send me julie, send me
00:16:43.992 --> 00:16:45.894
Send me julie, send me william, send me maria.
00:16:45.961 --> 00:16:48.163
William, send me maria. that's how you stay in faith.
00:16:48.230 --> 00:16:50.165
That's how you stay in faith. you have to keep this hope in
00:16:50.232 --> 00:16:51.767
You have to keep this hope in your heart, knowing that god
00:16:51.834 --> 00:16:53.368
Your heart, knowing that god has already lined up these
00:16:53.435 --> 00:16:55.137
Has already lined up these set times for you.
00:16:55.204 --> 00:16:57.139
Set times for you. if you only look at your
00:16:57.206 --> 00:16:58.407
If you only look at your situation in the natural,
00:16:58.474 --> 00:17:00.209
Situation in the natural, you'll get discouraged.
00:17:00.275 --> 00:17:01.777
You'll get discouraged. because god puts dreams in
00:17:01.844 --> 00:17:03.378
Because god puts dreams in our hearts that we can't
00:17:03.445 --> 00:17:04.680
Our hearts that we can't accomplish on our own.
00:17:04.746 --> 00:17:06.448
Accomplish on our own. we don't have the resources,
00:17:06.515 --> 00:17:08.083
We don't have the resources, the connections,
00:17:08.150 --> 00:17:08.817
The connections, the experience.
00:17:08.884 --> 00:17:10.252
The experience. this is so we'll have to
00:17:10.319 --> 00:17:11.887
This is so we'll have to depend on him.
00:17:11.954 --> 00:17:13.655
Depend on him. we face challenges that we
00:17:13.722 --> 00:17:14.990
We face challenges that we can't overcome by our self.
00:17:15.057 --> 00:17:17.359
Can't overcome by our self. a sickness, an addiction,
00:17:17.426 --> 00:17:19.761
A sickness, an addiction, people that are more
00:17:19.828 --> 00:17:20.562
People that are more powerful. it looks like
00:17:20.629 --> 00:17:22.364
Powerful. it looks like we're stuck but deep down
00:17:22.431 --> 00:17:24.566
We're stuck but deep down you have to know the forces
00:17:24.633 --> 00:17:26.268
You have to know the forces that are for you are
00:17:26.335 --> 00:17:27.269
That are for you are greater than the forces
00:17:27.336 --> 00:17:28.837
Greater than the forces that are against you.
00:17:28.904 --> 00:17:30.539
That are against you. you may feel outnumbered,
00:17:30.606 --> 00:17:32.274
You may feel outnumbered, at a disadvantage.
00:17:32.341 --> 00:17:33.876
At a disadvantage. the sickness seems bigger,
00:17:33.942 --> 00:17:35.777
The sickness seems bigger, the addiction stronger.
00:17:35.844 --> 00:17:37.412
The addiction stronger. keep reminding yourself,
00:17:37.479 --> 00:17:39.114
Keep reminding yourself, your time is coming.
00:17:39.181 --> 00:17:41.016
Your time is coming. one touch of god's favor,
00:17:41.083 --> 00:17:42.918
One touch of god's favor, one set time and things
00:17:42.985 --> 00:17:44.786
One set time and things will suddenly change.
00:17:44.853 --> 00:17:46.655
Will suddenly change. nothing can stand against
00:17:46.722 --> 00:17:48.323
Nothing can stand against our god.
00:17:48.390 --> 00:17:49.191
Our god. no sickness is too great,
00:17:49.258 --> 00:17:51.093
No sickness is too great, no addiction too strong,
00:17:51.160 --> 00:17:52.761
No addiction too strong, no enemy too powerful.
00:17:52.828 --> 00:17:55.330
No enemy too powerful. i talked to a gentleman that
00:17:55.397 --> 00:17:56.698
I talked to a gentleman that was diagnosed with terminal
00:17:56.765 --> 00:17:58.233
Was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer. the doctors
00:17:58.300 --> 00:18:00.269
Brain cancer. the doctors only gave him eighteen
00:18:00.335 --> 00:18:01.603
Only gave him eighteen months to live. he heard
00:18:01.670 --> 00:18:03.405
Months to live. he heard me tell how my mother
00:18:03.472 --> 00:18:05.007
Me tell how my mother quoted healing scriptures
00:18:05.073 --> 00:18:06.842
Quoted healing scriptures when she was sick with
00:18:06.909 --> 00:18:07.676
When she was sick with cancer and how she had
00:18:07.743 --> 00:18:08.977
Cancer and how she had defied the odds. instead of
00:18:09.044 --> 00:18:11.079
Defied the odds. instead of accepting it and thinking
00:18:11.146 --> 00:18:12.514
Accepting it and thinking his life was over, he
00:18:12.581 --> 00:18:14.116
His life was over, he started quoting these
00:18:14.183 --> 00:18:15.217
Started quoting these scriptures and thanking god
00:18:15.284 --> 00:18:16.885
Scriptures and thanking god that he was restoring health
00:18:16.952 --> 00:18:18.387
That he was restoring health back unto him.
00:18:18.453 --> 00:18:19.955
Back unto him. the psalmist said, "when
00:18:20.022 --> 00:18:21.590
The psalmist said, "when darkness overtakes the
00:18:21.657 --> 00:18:22.925
Darkness overtakes the righteous light will come
00:18:22.991 --> 00:18:24.993
Righteous light will come bursting in."
00:18:25.060 --> 00:18:26.828
Bursting in." when you're in a tough time,
00:18:26.895 --> 00:18:28.030
When you're in a tough time, it seems like there's no way
00:18:28.096 --> 00:18:29.698
It seems like there's no way out, the odds are against
00:18:29.765 --> 00:18:31.366
Out, the odds are against you.
00:18:31.433 --> 00:18:32.000
You. it's easy to live worried,
00:18:32.067 --> 00:18:33.669
It's easy to live worried, fall apart, but you have to
00:18:33.735 --> 00:18:35.437
Fall apart, but you have to remind yourself that god
00:18:35.504 --> 00:18:37.172
Remind yourself that god has already set the time for
00:18:37.239 --> 00:18:39.308
Has already set the time for light to come bursting in.
00:18:39.374 --> 00:18:41.910
Light to come bursting in. he's already set the time
00:18:41.977 --> 00:18:43.378
He's already set the time for healing, set the time
00:18:43.445 --> 00:18:45.080
For healing, set the time for breakthroughs.
00:18:45.147 --> 00:18:46.682
For breakthroughs. bursting means it's going
00:18:46.748 --> 00:18:48.250
Bursting means it's going to happen suddenly.
00:18:48.317 --> 00:18:49.851
To happen suddenly. you didn't see it coming.
00:18:49.918 --> 00:18:51.353
You didn't see it coming. you can't explain it, it's
00:18:51.420 --> 00:18:52.955
You can't explain it, it's out of the ordinary.
00:18:53.021 --> 00:18:54.923
Out of the ordinary. when i spoke with this young
00:18:54.990 --> 00:18:56.124
When i spoke with this young man, he said that yesterday
00:18:56.191 --> 00:18:58.293
Man, he said that yesterday was the end of the eighteen
00:18:58.360 --> 00:19:00.295
Was the end of the eighteen months.
00:19:00.362 --> 00:19:00.963
Months. that's how much time he was
00:19:01.029 --> 00:19:02.130
That's how much time he was given to live.
00:19:02.197 --> 00:19:03.365
Given to live. he went back to the hospital
00:19:03.432 --> 00:19:04.666
He went back to the hospital for a checkup. the doctors
00:19:04.733 --> 00:19:06.535
For a checkup. the doctors said, "we can't explain
00:19:06.602 --> 00:19:08.136
Said, "we can't explain this, we don't know how it
00:19:08.203 --> 00:19:09.805
This, we don't know how it happened, but we can't find
00:19:09.871 --> 00:19:11.607
Happened, but we can't find any cancer in your brain.
00:19:11.673 --> 00:19:13.642
Any cancer in your brain. you are perfectly well."
00:19:13.709 --> 00:19:16.044
You are perfectly well." when you come in to your set
00:19:16.111 --> 00:19:17.679
When you come in to your set time, god will make things
00:19:17.746 --> 00:19:19.414
Time, god will make things happen that you couldn't
00:19:19.481 --> 00:19:20.616
Happen that you couldn't make happen. he can do
00:19:20.682 --> 00:19:22.251
Make happen. he can do what medicine cannot do.
00:19:22.317 --> 00:19:24.486
What medicine cannot do. he's not limited by what
00:19:24.553 --> 00:19:25.954
He's not limited by what limits us. we're natural;
00:19:26.021 --> 00:19:28.123
Limits us. we're natural; he's supernatural.
00:19:28.190 --> 00:19:29.958
He's supernatural. you may be in darkness,
00:19:30.025 --> 00:19:31.760
You may be in darkness, instead of complaining about
00:19:31.827 --> 00:19:33.228
Instead of complaining about the darkness, being depressed
00:19:33.295 --> 00:19:34.930
The darkness, being depressed by the darkness, try a
00:19:34.997 --> 00:19:36.231
By the darkness, try a different approach,
00:19:36.298 --> 00:19:37.299
Different approach, "father thank you that your
00:19:37.366 --> 00:19:38.934
"father thank you that your light is about to come
00:19:39.001 --> 00:19:40.369
Light is about to come bursting in, thank you that
00:19:40.435 --> 00:19:42.204
Bursting in, thank you that my set time for favor, set
00:19:42.271 --> 00:19:44.573
My set time for favor, set time for healing, set time
00:19:44.640 --> 00:19:46.275
Time for healing, set time for deliverance is on the
00:19:46.341 --> 00:19:47.843
For deliverance is on the way."
00:19:47.909 --> 00:19:49.077
Way." don't cast away your
00:19:49.144 --> 00:19:50.279
Don't cast away your confidence.
00:19:50.345 --> 00:19:51.079
Confidence. god is bigger than what
00:19:51.146 --> 00:19:52.681
God is bigger than what you're facing.
00:19:52.748 --> 00:19:53.882
You're facing. you may not see how it can
00:19:53.949 --> 00:19:55.250
You may not see how it can work out.
00:19:55.317 --> 00:19:56.118
Work out. logically there's no way,
00:19:56.184 --> 00:19:57.886
Logically there's no way, the good news is you don't
00:19:57.953 --> 00:19:59.388
The good news is you don't have to figure it out, all
00:19:59.454 --> 00:20:00.956
Have to figure it out, all you have to do is believe.
00:20:01.023 --> 00:20:03.091
You have to do is believe. when you believe all things
00:20:03.158 --> 00:20:04.960
When you believe all things are possible. when you go
00:20:05.027 --> 00:20:06.695
Are possible. when you go through the day saying,
00:20:06.762 --> 00:20:07.529
Through the day saying, "father i don't see a way,
00:20:07.596 --> 00:20:09.765
"father i don't see a way, but i know you have a way.
00:20:09.831 --> 00:20:11.466
But i know you have a way. it doesn't look possible
00:20:11.533 --> 00:20:12.634
It doesn't look possible to me, but i know you can
00:20:12.701 --> 00:20:14.269
To me, but i know you can do the impossible."
00:20:14.336 --> 00:20:16.004
Do the impossible." like this man, you'll see
00:20:16.071 --> 00:20:17.606
Like this man, you'll see these times where god will
00:20:17.673 --> 00:20:19.107
These times where god will show out in your life.
00:20:19.174 --> 00:20:21.310
Show out in your life. it may not have happened yet,
00:20:21.376 --> 00:20:22.878
It may not have happened yet, but i believe you are closer
00:20:22.944 --> 00:20:25.047
But i believe you are closer than you think.
00:20:25.113 --> 00:20:26.481
Than you think. you are close to your
00:20:26.548 --> 00:20:27.649
You are close to your breakthrough, you are close
00:20:27.716 --> 00:20:29.318
Breakthrough, you are close to things turning around, you
00:20:29.384 --> 00:20:31.086
To things turning around, you are close to that child
00:20:31.153 --> 00:20:32.521
Are close to that child getting back on course.
00:20:32.587 --> 00:20:34.089
Getting back on course. you would be hearing this if
00:20:34.156 --> 00:20:35.724
You would be hearing this if you weren't about to see one
00:20:35.791 --> 00:20:37.192
You weren't about to see one of your set times.
00:20:37.259 --> 00:20:38.560
Of your set times. in 1 samuel chapter 1, there
00:20:38.627 --> 00:20:41.396
In 1 samuel chapter 1, there was a young lady named
00:20:41.463 --> 00:20:42.597
Was a young lady named hannah.
00:20:42.664 --> 00:20:43.699
Hannah. she was barren and not able
00:20:43.765 --> 00:20:45.233
She was barren and not able to have children.
00:20:45.300 --> 00:20:46.635
To have children. her husband was married to
00:20:46.702 --> 00:20:47.836
Her husband was married to another woman as well, named
00:20:47.903 --> 00:20:49.738
Another woman as well, named peninnah, she had baby after
00:20:49.805 --> 00:20:52.240
Peninnah, she had baby after baby.
00:20:52.307 --> 00:20:52.908
Baby. it didn't seem fair.
00:20:52.974 --> 00:20:54.643
It didn't seem fair. hannah kept praying and
00:20:54.710 --> 00:20:55.844
Hannah kept praying and believing, but the scripture
00:20:55.911 --> 00:20:57.312
Believing, but the scripture says, "the lord had shut
00:20:57.379 --> 00:20:59.348
Says, "the lord had shut her womb."
00:20:59.414 --> 00:21:00.215
Her womb." the good news is the same
00:21:00.282 --> 00:21:02.451
The good news is the same god that shuts wombs can
00:21:02.517 --> 00:21:04.319
God that shuts wombs can open wombs. just as god
00:21:04.386 --> 00:21:06.321
Open wombs. just as god shuts doors, he can open
00:21:06.388 --> 00:21:08.256
Shuts doors, he can open doors. year after year
