Throughout the whole earth." i wanna preach to you today
00:02:36.564 --> 00:02:40.335
I wanna preach to you today about this amazing verse,
00:02:40.401 --> 00:02:42.036
About this amazing verse, it's one of my favorite chapters
00:02:42.103 --> 00:02:43.771
It's one of my favorite chapters in the bible, zechariah 4.
00:02:43.838 --> 00:02:46.140
In the bible, zechariah 4. it's very meaningful to me
00:02:46.207 --> 00:02:48.142
It's very meaningful to me as a pastor because
00:02:48.209 --> 00:02:50.278
As a pastor because it's one of those great
00:02:50.345 --> 00:02:51.479
It's one of those great promises that has helped us
00:02:51.546 --> 00:02:55.149
Promises that has helped us build the church.
00:02:55.216 --> 00:03:00.288
Build the church. zechariah 4
00:03:00.355 --> 00:03:01.489
Zechariah 4 has been a theme.
00:03:01.556 --> 00:03:03.124
Has been a theme. the lord dropped something
00:03:03.191 --> 00:03:04.492
The lord dropped something into my spirit about that,
00:03:04.559 --> 00:03:06.861
Into my spirit about that, the verses i just read,
00:03:06.928 --> 00:03:09.030
The verses i just read, and i've never focused in
00:03:09.097 --> 00:03:11.132
And i've never focused in on just the one that
00:03:11.199 --> 00:03:12.500
On just the one that i'm looking at,
00:03:12.567 --> 00:03:13.368
I'm looking at, but that whole bunch
00:03:13.434 --> 00:03:14.869
But that whole bunch of scriptures that
00:03:14.936 --> 00:03:15.870
Of scriptures that i read are powerful,
00:03:15.937 --> 00:03:18.006
I read are powerful, powerful verses.
00:03:18.072 --> 00:03:20.475
Powerful verses. zerubbabel was sent back
00:03:20.541 --> 00:03:22.176
Zerubbabel was sent back to build the temple.
00:03:22.243 --> 00:03:24.479
To build the temple. it was devastated and destroyed,
00:03:24.545 --> 00:03:26.214
It was devastated and destroyed, and he was released from
00:03:26.281 --> 00:03:27.482
And he was released from babylon captivity to go back.
00:03:27.548 --> 00:03:30.285
Babylon captivity to go back. he had favor with the king
00:03:30.351 --> 00:03:31.352
He had favor with the king of babylon to rebuild
00:03:31.419 --> 00:03:32.920
Of babylon to rebuild the temple and rebuild
00:03:32.987 --> 00:03:34.455
The temple and rebuild the walls in the city.
00:03:34.522 --> 00:03:36.724
The walls in the city. and as he went back,
00:03:36.791 --> 00:03:38.860
And as he went back, it started off great,
00:03:38.926 --> 00:03:41.429
It started off great, but then as the text said,
00:03:41.496 --> 00:03:44.999
But then as the text said, it was like a mountain that
00:03:45.066 --> 00:03:46.567
It was like a mountain that was standing before him.
00:03:46.634 --> 00:03:48.436
Was standing before him. he laid the foundation
00:03:48.503 --> 00:03:50.238
He laid the foundation and then nothing happened.
00:03:50.305 --> 00:03:52.407
And then nothing happened. he got it going,
00:03:52.473 --> 00:03:54.008
He got it going, but the dream and the vision
00:03:54.075 --> 00:03:55.143
But the dream and the vision that god gave him ceased,
00:03:55.209 --> 00:03:58.513
That god gave him ceased, and the angel,
00:03:58.579 --> 00:04:00.381
And the angel, god sent an angel
00:04:00.448 --> 00:04:01.783
God sent an angel and the angel says,
00:04:01.849 --> 00:04:03.117
And the angel says, "thus says the lord to you,
00:04:03.184 --> 00:04:04.385
"thus says the lord to you, zerubbabel, the mountain
00:04:04.452 --> 00:04:06.688
Zerubbabel, the mountain that you're facing,
00:04:06.754 --> 00:04:08.356
That you're facing, god is gonna smooth it out.
00:04:08.423 --> 00:04:11.025
God is gonna smooth it out. it will become --
00:04:11.092 --> 00:04:12.894
It will become -- it will move from a massive,
00:04:12.960 --> 00:04:16.798
It will move from a massive, uncrossable mountain
00:04:16.864 --> 00:04:18.399
Uncrossable mountain to a smooth highway
00:04:18.466 --> 00:04:19.801
To a smooth highway and plane that you will be
00:04:19.867 --> 00:04:22.170
And plane that you will be able to walk right into
00:04:22.236 --> 00:04:24.439
Able to walk right into the promise that god gave you."
00:04:24.505 --> 00:04:26.240
The promise that god gave you." and then, he said
00:04:26.307 --> 00:04:27.208
And then, he said something else powerful.
00:04:27.275 --> 00:04:28.343
Something else powerful. and he said, "and your hands
00:04:28.409 --> 00:04:30.645
And he said, "and your hands laid the foundation."
00:04:30.712 --> 00:04:33.448
Laid the foundation." god started it,
00:04:33.514 --> 00:04:34.716
God started it, and he said, "i'm going --
00:04:34.782 --> 00:04:36.784
And he said, "i'm going -- your hands are going
00:04:36.851 --> 00:04:37.952
Your hands are going to finish this project.
00:04:38.019 --> 00:04:40.822
To finish this project. for who has despised the day --
00:04:40.888 --> 00:04:43.424
For who has despised the day -- do not despise the day,"
00:04:43.491 --> 00:04:46.661
Do not despise the day," one translation said,
00:04:46.728 --> 00:04:48.363
One translation said, "of small beginnings."
00:04:48.429 --> 00:04:51.766
"of small beginnings." it's an angel talking

Don't despise how insignificant it looks like your dream is

It looks like your dream is just so down here
00:05:10.318 --> 00:05:12.520
Just so down here when you were believing

And i'm preaching today about this angel talking

Building project. god sent him to rebuild

The walls and now nothing's happening.

Nothing's happening. it's been ten years,
00:05:37.478 --> 00:05:39.380
It's been ten years, the workers stopped showing up.
00:05:39.447 --> 00:05:41.649
The workers stopped showing up. they were being sued.
00:05:41.716 --> 00:05:43.384
They were being sued. you can read the story.
00:05:43.451 --> 00:05:44.552
You can read the story. they were literally being

They were literally being shut down by the government
00:05:46.320 --> 00:05:49.957
Shut down by the government that was against what
00:05:50.024 --> 00:05:51.159
That was against what they were doing.
00:05:51.225 --> 00:05:52.360
They were doing. in that time,
00:05:52.427 --> 00:05:53.194
In that time, the leaders over that

Time after time. and the project was started,
00:05:57.565 --> 00:05:59.567
And the project was started, but it was sitting there

With a blaze of a vision and great success, and now
00:06:12.447 --> 00:06:14.882
And great success, and now it's just not happening.

You despise the little, small part that god has
00:06:38.539 --> 00:06:40.141
Small part that god has started because if god
00:06:40.208 --> 00:06:41.375
Started because if god ever starts something,
00:06:41.442 --> 00:06:43.077
Ever starts something, he is the author
00:06:43.144 --> 00:06:44.846
He is the author and he is the finisher.
00:06:44.912 --> 00:06:46.113
And he is the finisher. he will never leave it
00:06:46.180 --> 00:06:47.248
He will never leave it like it is,
00:06:47.315 --> 00:06:48.483
Like it is, even though you've seen
00:06:48.549 --> 00:06:49.617
Even though you've seen nothing taking place
00:06:49.684 --> 00:06:51.152
Nothing taking place for ten years in that
00:06:51.219 --> 00:06:53.287
For ten years in that area of your life."

He did not despise the day of small beginnings,
00:07:21.249 --> 00:07:22.283
Of small beginnings, but he worked so hard
00:07:22.350 --> 00:07:23.818
But he worked so hard that potiphar,

And he served 17 years for a crime he did not commit,

A crime he did not commit, he didn't despise where he was.

And say, "do it here." he took ezekiel

He took ezekiel and dropped him in

And dropped him in a graveyard and said,

I hate to tell y'all this, but there's just not

But there's just not enough wonderful places,
00:09:17.999 --> 00:09:21.369
Enough wonderful places, and if you're in ministry,
00:09:21.435 --> 00:09:22.336
And if you're in ministry, there's not enough great

Into places and he'll say, "let me see some passion,

Endurance has to be transformed into adventure.

The lord told jeremiah
00:09:45.393 --> 00:09:46.627
In the 29th chapter,
00:09:46.694 --> 00:09:47.995
"tell the elders of babylon,

Who are down there in

Babylonian captivity

And they want to come
00:09:52.933 --> 00:09:53.734
Home to jerusalem."
00:09:53.834 --> 00:09:54.869
Home to jerusalem." jerusalem is where

Jerusalem is where the glory is, that's wonderful,
00:09:55.803 --> 00:09:57.471
The glory is, that's wonderful, and babylon is such
00:09:57.538 --> 00:09:58.572
And babylon is such a wicked place,
00:09:58.639 --> 00:09:59.674
A wicked place, it's such an evil place.
00:09:59.740 --> 00:10:01.175
It's such an evil place. he said, "you tell those
00:10:01.242 --> 00:10:03.277
He said, "you tell those elders there that are
00:10:03.344 --> 00:10:04.412
Elders there that are whining and complaining,"
00:10:04.478 --> 00:10:05.880
Whining and complaining," listen to what he said,
00:10:05.946 --> 00:10:06.814
Listen to what he said, "build houses, plant gardens,

Because it will prosper, and if it prospers,

And if it prospers, you will prosper."
00:10:19.727 --> 00:10:20.361
You will prosper." in other words,
00:10:20.428 --> 00:10:21.128
In other words, sometimes god says,
00:10:21.195 --> 00:10:22.663
Sometimes god says, "build houses and plant gardens.

About america right now. it looks bad, looks dark,

00:12:42.503 --> 00:12:43.537
And it seems like such a small thing that i'm gon' ask you.
00:12:43.604 --> 00:12:48.976
Thing that i'm gon' ask you. but i feel like saying
00:12:49.043 --> 00:12:50.611
But i feel like saying to every person in this room,
00:12:50.678 --> 00:12:53.681
To every person in this room, if you don't know
00:12:53.747 --> 00:12:54.815
If you don't know you're right with god,
00:12:54.882 --> 00:12:56.417
You're right with god, this is your altar call.
00:12:56.483 --> 00:12:58.686
This is your altar call. if you've got trouble
00:12:58.752 --> 00:12:59.854
If you've got trouble in your home or in your life,
00:12:59.920 --> 00:13:02.723
In your home or in your life, this is your altar call.
00:13:02.790 --> 00:13:04.892
This is your altar call. if you're in a painful season
00:13:04.959 --> 00:13:06.727
If you're in a painful season when it looks like your dream
00:13:06.794 --> 00:13:08.028
When it looks like your dream is drying up and dying,
00:13:08.095 --> 00:13:09.930
Is drying up and dying, god does not want you
00:13:09.997 --> 00:13:11.365
God does not want you to quit and give up.
00:13:11.432 --> 00:13:12.433
To quit and give up. i don't believe
00:13:12.499 --> 00:13:13.000
I don't believe you're here by accident.
00:13:13.067 --> 00:13:14.501
You're here by accident. i believe that there's glory
00:13:14.568 --> 00:13:17.304
I believe that there's glory in the insignificant.
00:13:17.371 --> 00:13:20.040
In the insignificant. when god breathes on it,
00:13:20.107 --> 00:13:21.642
When god breathes on it, it will live.
00:13:21.709 --> 00:13:26.380
It will live. and if i'm preaching
00:13:26.447 --> 00:13:27.348

I'm not gon' do this long. it's not how long we pray,
00:13:32.987 --> 00:13:35.189
It's not how long we pray, it's the small prayers,
00:13:35.256 --> 00:13:37.391
It's the small prayers, it's the small beliefs,
00:13:37.458 --> 00:13:39.093
It's the small beliefs, it's all --

It's all -- all it takes is

A mustard seed of faith. and if --

You're fighting for your dream right now.

You know you need to see a breakthrough.

A breakthrough. you've worked hard
00:13:51.739 --> 00:13:52.673
You've worked hard and you need to see
00:13:52.740 --> 00:13:54.775
And you need to see a breakthrough.

To just lift your hands all over this room.

All over this room. and maybe there's
00:14:02.616 --> 00:14:03.384
And maybe there's trouble in your home,

Trouble in your home, shout the grace of g --

Shout the grace of g -- if the grace of god
00:14:05.586 --> 00:14:06.353
If the grace of god doesn't do it,
00:14:06.420 --> 00:14:06.987
Doesn't do it, you sure can't do it.
00:14:07.054 --> 00:14:08.222
You sure can't do it. if you got a son on drugs
00:14:08.289 --> 00:14:09.356
If you got a son on drugs or daughter on drugs
00:14:09.423 --> 00:14:11.325
Or daughter on drugs or alcohol or whatever,
00:14:11.392 --> 00:14:13.560
Or alcohol or whatever, nothing --

Nothing -- just see the small things

Just see the small things god's doing.
00:14:16.030 --> 00:14:16.864
God's doing. he can turn it around
00:14:16.931 --> 00:14:18.599
He can turn it around if you'll believe.
00:14:18.666 --> 00:14:19.500
If you'll believe. and everybody pray, "jesus...

You don't decide your purpose. it was put in you the day

It was put in you the day you were conceived.

And this is an important service because if god's grace

Service because if god's grace comes on you to do a thing,
00:17:40.501 --> 00:17:42.536

How far you can go and how high.
00:17:49.877 --> 00:17:51.044
And how high. god puts a dream
00:17:51.111 --> 00:17:54.181
God puts a dream in his people.
00:17:54.248 --> 00:17:57.818
In his people. because if our young people
00:17:57.885 --> 00:17:59.153
Because if our young people don't have a vision,
00:17:59.219 --> 00:18:00.888
Don't have a vision, they become unrestrained.
00:18:00.954 --> 00:18:02.756
They become unrestrained. they'll waste years
00:18:02.823 --> 00:18:03.824
They'll waste years of their life
00:18:03.891 --> 00:18:04.658
Of their life doing crazy stuff,
00:18:04.725 --> 00:18:05.959
Doing crazy stuff, but when you've got a dis --
00:18:06.026 --> 00:18:07.828
But when you've got a dis -- when you got a vision
00:18:07.895 --> 00:18:08.795
When you got a vision for your life,
00:18:08.862 --> 00:18:09.530
For your life, it keeps you disciplined.
00:18:09.596 --> 00:18:14.034
It keeps you disciplined. and he says, "don't you despise
00:18:14.101 --> 00:18:16.303
And he says, "don't you despise the day of small beginnings."
00:18:16.370 --> 00:18:21.542
The day of small beginnings." don't you, don't you
00:18:21.608 --> 00:18:23.210
Don't you, don't you devalue who you are,
00:18:23.277 --> 00:18:26.113
Devalue who you are, who god is, and his dream
00:18:26.180 --> 00:18:29.216
Who god is, and his dream and purpose for your life.
00:18:29.283 --> 00:18:33.654
And purpose for your life. "because i'm gonna put things in
00:18:33.720 --> 00:18:34.855
"because i'm gonna put things in your heart to do and i'm gonna

Your heart to do and i'm gonna give you the grace to do it."
00:18:38.058 --> 00:18:43.830
Give you the grace to do it." and this is how it happens.
00:18:43.897 --> 00:18:45.499
And this is how it happens. i was 20 years old when god
00:18:45.566 --> 00:18:47.301
I was 20 years old when god called me to preach.
00:18:47.367 --> 00:18:48.368

God puts in your heart, but you gotta seek the lord.

And you're gonna mess up, and you're gonna do

And you're gonna do stupid things,
00:20:08.982 --> 00:20:10.384
Stupid things, that's part of life.
00:20:10.450 --> 00:20:13.053
That's part of life. but if you'll keep holding

But if you'll keep holding on to god, hold the line,
00:20:14.221 --> 00:20:17.057
On to god, hold the line, just get out front
00:20:17.124 --> 00:20:17.691
Just get out front and hold the line and say,
00:20:17.758 --> 00:20:18.859
