00:10:11.400 --> 00:10:12.201
When they're blessed.
00:10:15.571 --> 00:10:16.439
When they're blessed. "rejoice with those
00:10:16.505 --> 00:10:17.440
When they're blessed. "rejoice with those who rejoice and weep
00:10:17.506 --> 00:10:19.108
"rejoice with those who rejoice and weep with those who weep."
00:10:19.175 --> 00:10:22.111
God wants us to be happy
00:10:22.178 --> 00:10:23.446
God wants us to be happy for other people
00:10:23.512 --> 00:10:24.180
God wants us to be happy for other people when they're blessed.
00:10:24.246 --> 00:10:24.880
For other people when they're blessed. and until we do,
00:10:24.947 --> 00:10:26.115
When they're blessed. and until we do, we probably won't
00:10:26.182 --> 00:10:27.249
And until we do, we probably won't get what we want.
00:10:27.316 --> 00:10:29.719
We probably won't get what we want. god wants us to be satisfied
00:10:29.785 --> 00:10:31.454
Get what we want. god wants us to be satisfied with what he has given us
00:10:31.520 --> 00:10:32.755
God wants us to be satisfied with what he has given us and trust that when the time
00:10:32.822 --> 00:10:33.889
With what he has given us and trust that when the time is right, he will give us more.
00:10:33.956 --> 00:10:36.425
And trust that when the time is right, he will give us more. you see, that's the key.
00:10:36.492 --> 00:10:37.493
Is right, he will give us more. you see, that's the key. that's the answer,
00:10:37.560 --> 00:10:38.360
You see, that's the key. that's the answer, to trust god.
00:10:38.427 --> 00:10:40.496
"well, god, if you wanted
00:10:41.197 --> 00:10:42.131
"well, god, if you wanted me to have one of those now,
00:10:42.198 --> 00:10:43.632
"well, god, if you wanted me to have one of those now, you would give it to me now.
00:10:43.699 --> 00:10:48.237
Me to have one of those now, you would give it to me now. but i believe in due time,
00:10:48.304 --> 00:10:49.572
You would give it to me now. but i believe in due time, at the right time,
00:10:49.638 --> 00:10:51.574
But i believe in due time, at the right time, you'll either give me that
00:10:51.640 --> 00:10:52.708
At the right time, you'll either give me that or you'll give me
00:10:52.775 --> 00:10:53.375
You'll either give me that or you'll give me something better."
00:10:53.442 --> 00:10:57.613
See, i learned a long time
00:10:57.680 --> 00:10:58.914
See, i learned a long time ago that when i don't
00:10:58.981 --> 00:10:59.715
See, i learned a long time ago that when i don't get what i asked for,
00:10:59.782 --> 00:11:00.649
Ago that when i don't get what i asked for, god's not holding out on me.
00:11:00.716 --> 00:11:02.785
Get what i asked for, god's not holding out on me. there's just something
00:11:02.852 --> 00:11:03.486
God's not holding out on me. there's just something better he wants to give me
00:11:03.552 --> 00:11:04.653
There's just something better he wants to give me and i'm not smart enough
00:11:04.720 --> 00:11:05.654
Better he wants to give me and i'm not smart enough to know how to ask for it yet.
00:11:05.721 --> 00:11:08.190
And i'm not smart enough to know how to ask for it yet. god loves you and he's got
00:11:08.257 --> 00:11:10.192
To know how to ask for it yet. god loves you and he's got you in the palm of his hand.
00:11:10.259 --> 00:11:12.394
And if you feel like you've been
00:11:13.095 --> 00:11:14.430
And if you feel like you've been mistreated and overlooked,
00:11:14.497 --> 00:11:16.132
And if you feel like you've been mistreated and overlooked, i can promise you that god
00:11:16.198 --> 00:11:17.366
Mistreated and overlooked, i can promise you that god has his eye on you every
00:11:17.433 --> 00:11:19.101
I can promise you that god has his eye on you every single moment of your life
00:11:19.168 --> 00:11:20.870
Has his eye on you every single moment of your life and his thoughts toward you
00:11:20.936 --> 00:11:22.037
Single moment of your life and his thoughts toward you are "more than the sands"
00:11:22.104 --> 00:11:23.472
And his thoughts toward you are "more than the sands" on all the seas in the world.
00:11:23.539 --> 00:11:25.307
Are "more than the sands" on all the seas in the world. think of that.
00:11:25.374 --> 00:11:27.476
God is always thinking
00:11:27.543 --> 00:11:28.978
God is always thinking about you, and he wants
00:11:29.044 --> 00:11:31.147
God is always thinking about you, and he wants you to have the best.
00:11:31.213 --> 00:11:32.615
About you, and he wants you to have the best. but you know, having
00:11:32.681 --> 00:11:33.883
You to have the best. but you know, having a material blessing may
00:11:33.949 --> 00:11:36.452
But you know, having a material blessing may not be the most important
00:11:36.519 --> 00:11:37.753
A material blessing may not be the most important thing in your life.
00:11:37.820 --> 00:11:40.623
Spiritual blessings are much
00:11:41.323 --> 00:11:42.391
Spiritual blessings are much greater than physical blessings.
00:11:42.458 --> 00:11:46.529
Spiritual blessings are much greater than physical blessings. and if you studied
00:11:46.595 --> 00:11:47.630
Greater than physical blessings. and if you studied the prayers of paul,
00:11:47.696 --> 00:11:50.032
And if you studied the prayers of paul, even the prayers that
00:11:50.099 --> 00:11:50.766
The prayers of paul, even the prayers that jesus prayed, you find
00:11:50.833 --> 00:11:53.135
Even the prayers that jesus prayed, you find that they never ask
00:11:53.202 --> 00:11:54.303
Jesus prayed, you find that they never ask for material things.
00:11:54.370 --> 00:11:55.838
That they never ask for material things. they always ask
00:11:55.905 --> 00:11:56.806
For material things. they always ask for spiritual things.
00:11:56.872 --> 00:11:58.908
They asked for revelation
00:11:58.974 --> 00:12:00.242
They asked for revelation and insight into secrets
00:12:00.309 --> 00:12:01.710
They asked for revelation and insight into secrets and mysteries and to be wholly
00:12:01.777 --> 00:12:03.946
And insight into secrets and mysteries and to be wholly filled with god.
00:12:04.013 --> 00:12:05.781
And mysteries and to be wholly filled with god. wow, wholly filled with god.
00:12:05.848 --> 00:12:09.919
Filled with god. wow, wholly filled with god. i'm glad i finally learned
00:12:09.985 --> 00:12:10.986
Wow, wholly filled with god. i'm glad i finally learned how to pray that way
00:12:11.053 --> 00:12:12.188
I'm glad i finally learned how to pray that way because i'll tell you,
00:12:12.254 --> 00:12:13.389
How to pray that way because i'll tell you, i was asking for all
00:12:13.455 --> 00:12:14.557
Because i'll tell you, i was asking for all the wrong stuff.
00:12:14.623 --> 00:12:17.760
I was asking for all the wrong stuff. i was being very materialistic
00:12:17.827 --> 00:12:19.428
The wrong stuff. i was being very materialistic in my prayers and those
00:12:19.495 --> 00:12:21.030
I was being very materialistic in my prayers and those weren't the things i needed.
00:12:21.096 --> 00:12:22.431
In my prayers and those weren't the things i needed. i needed to seek god first
00:12:22.498 --> 00:12:23.966
Weren't the things i needed. i needed to seek god first and he could add the things
00:12:24.033 --> 00:12:25.167
I needed to seek god first and he could add the things as he felt like they were right.
00:12:25.234 --> 00:12:29.672
And he could add the things as he felt like they were right. you know, usually when
00:12:29.738 --> 00:12:30.606
As he felt like they were right. you know, usually when you get the most things,
00:12:30.673 --> 00:12:33.008
You know, usually when you get the most things, they mean the least to you
00:12:33.075 --> 00:12:35.344
You get the most things, they mean the least to you because your joy is not
00:12:35.411 --> 00:12:36.312
They mean the least to you because your joy is not in things, it's in knowing
00:12:36.378 --> 00:12:37.746
Because your joy is not in things, it's in knowing who you are in christ.
00:12:37.813 --> 00:12:40.883
In things, it's in knowing who you are in christ. and i love to watch
00:12:40.950 --> 00:12:41.917
Who you are in christ. and i love to watch god do things for me,
00:12:41.984 --> 00:12:44.353
And i love to watch god do things for me, but what i want is more of him.
00:12:44.420 --> 00:12:47.223
Paul said, "my goal is to be
00:12:47.790 --> 00:12:51.060
Paul said, "my goal is to be found and known as in him,
00:12:51.126 --> 00:12:52.928
Paul said, "my goal is to be found and known as in him, not having any
00:12:52.995 --> 00:12:53.729
Found and known as in him, not having any righteousness of my own,
00:12:53.796 --> 00:12:55.097
Not having any righteousness of my own, but only that which god gives."
00:12:55.164 --> 00:12:58.434
Righteousness of my own, but only that which god gives." that's in philippians 3:9.
00:12:58.500 --> 00:13:01.136
But only that which god gives." that's in philippians 3:9. and i think verse 11 says,
00:13:01.203 --> 00:13:03.606
That's in philippians 3:9. and i think verse 11 says, "for i am determined--
00:13:03.672 --> 00:13:08.077
And i think verse 11 says, "for i am determined-- the one thing i'm determined
00:13:08.143 --> 00:13:09.311
"for i am determined-- the one thing i'm determined to do is to know him
00:13:09.378 --> 00:13:10.312
The one thing i'm determined to do is to know him and the power of his
00:13:10.379 --> 00:13:11.180
To do is to know him and the power of his resurrection that lifts me
00:13:11.247 --> 00:13:12.748
And the power of his resurrection that lifts me out from among the dead,
00:13:12.815 --> 00:13:13.883
Resurrection that lifts me out from among the dead, even while i'm in the body."
00:13:13.949 --> 00:13:16.352
Out from among the dead, even while i'm in the body." think about what your
00:13:16.418 --> 00:13:17.519
Even while i'm in the body." think about what your prayers are like.
00:13:17.586 --> 00:13:20.956
Do you pray for a lot
00:13:21.023 --> 00:13:22.858
Do you pray for a lot of material stuff
00:13:22.925 --> 00:13:23.993
Do you pray for a lot of material stuff and to make your problems
00:13:24.059 --> 00:13:27.129
Of material stuff and to make your problems go away all the time?
00:13:27.196 --> 00:13:28.831
And to make your problems go away all the time? you know, that's another thing
00:13:28.898 --> 00:13:29.798
Go away all the time? you know, that's another thing that paul never prayed for.
00:13:29.865 --> 00:13:30.966
You know, that's another thing that paul never prayed for. for all the churches
00:13:31.033 --> 00:13:31.901
That paul never prayed for. for all the churches that he prayed for,
00:13:31.967 --> 00:13:32.835
For all the churches that he prayed for, he never prayed that their
00:13:32.902 --> 00:13:34.036
That he prayed for, he never prayed that their problems would go away.
00:13:34.103 --> 00:13:35.304
He never prayed that their problems would go away. he always prayed that they
00:13:35.371 --> 00:13:36.605
Problems would go away. he always prayed that they would be able to handle them
00:13:36.672 --> 00:13:39.909
He always prayed that they would be able to handle them in a stable, consistent way.
00:13:39.975 --> 00:13:42.778
When paul talked about
00:13:44.313 --> 00:13:45.381
When paul talked about the thorn in his flesh,
00:13:45.447 --> 00:13:47.950
When paul talked about the thorn in his flesh, god told him,
00:13:48.017 --> 00:13:48.651
The thorn in his flesh, god told him, "i'm not gonna remove it,
00:13:48.717 --> 00:13:49.652
God told him, "i'm not gonna remove it, but i will give you the grace
00:13:49.718 --> 00:13:52.087
"i'm not gonna remove it, but i will give you the grace to bear it manfully."
00:13:52.154 --> 00:13:54.523
But i will give you the grace to bear it manfully." in other words, "i'm gonna
00:13:54.590 --> 00:13:55.958
To bear it manfully." in other words, "i'm gonna give you the grace to stand
00:13:56.025 --> 00:13:57.860
Up under this and continue
00:13:57.927 --> 00:13:59.795
Up under this and continue to live your life in such a way
00:13:59.862 --> 00:14:01.030
Up under this and continue to live your life in such a way that people really won't even
00:14:01.096 --> 00:14:02.164
To live your life in such a way that people really won't even know that you have a problem."
00:14:02.231 --> 00:14:05.301
That people really won't even know that you have a problem." you don't know what's
00:14:05.367 --> 00:14:05.935
Know that you have a problem." you don't know what's going on in my life.
00:14:06.001 --> 00:14:06.936
You don't know what's going on in my life. you don't know if i have
00:14:07.002 --> 00:14:07.870
Going on in my life. you don't know if i have a problem today or not,
00:14:07.937 --> 00:14:11.573
You don't know if i have a problem today or not, which actually i do.
00:14:11.640 --> 00:14:14.043
A problem today or not, which actually i do. but that doesn't mean
00:14:14.109 --> 00:14:14.910
Which actually i do. but that doesn't mean that i don't come
00:14:14.977 --> 00:14:15.611
But that doesn't mean that i don't come and do the job that god has
00:14:15.678 --> 00:14:16.812
That i don't come and do the job that god has given me to do and do it with
00:14:16.879 --> 00:14:18.147
And do the job that god has given me to do and do it with all joy because i know that god
00:14:18.213 --> 00:14:20.716
Given me to do and do it with all joy because i know that god will take care of my problems.
00:14:20.783 --> 00:14:24.219
That's why the bible says that,
00:14:24.920 --> 00:14:27.289
That's why the bible says that, understand that people
00:14:27.356 --> 00:14:28.757

00:14:32.928 --> 00:14:35.864
Trouble comes, but trouble goes.
00:14:35.931 --> 00:14:39.735
Trouble comes, but trouble goes. then maybe a little more
00:14:39.802 --> 00:14:40.536
Trouble comes, but trouble goes. then maybe a little more trouble comes, and it goes.
00:14:40.602 --> 00:14:43.072

To help other people. there's nothing more powerful, nothing that undoes
00:14:51.447 --> 00:14:53.649
There's nothing more powerful, nothing that undoes the devil quicker than
00:14:53.716 --> 00:14:55.484
Nothing that undoes the devil quicker than for you to be good
00:14:55.551 --> 00:14:56.385
The devil quicker than for you to be good to somebody while
00:14:56.452 --> 00:14:58.287
For you to be good to somebody while something good is not
00:14:58.354 --> 00:14:59.521
To somebody while something good is not yet happening to you.
