Throughout the whole earth." i wanna preach to you today
00:02:35.569 --> 00:02:39.340
I wanna preach to you today about this amazing verse,
00:02:39.406 --> 00:02:41.041
About this amazing verse, it's one of my favorite chapters
00:02:41.108 --> 00:02:42.776
It's one of my favorite chapters in the bible, zechariah 4.
00:02:42.843 --> 00:02:45.145
In the bible, zechariah 4. it's very meaningful to me
00:02:45.212 --> 00:02:47.147
It's very meaningful to me as a pastor because
00:02:47.214 --> 00:02:49.283
As a pastor because it's one of those great
00:02:49.350 --> 00:02:50.484
It's one of those great promises that has helped us
00:02:50.551 --> 00:02:54.154
Promises that has helped us build the church.
00:02:54.221 --> 00:02:59.293
Build the church. zechariah 4
00:02:59.360 --> 00:03:00.494
Zechariah 4 has been a theme.
00:03:00.561 --> 00:03:02.129
Has been a theme. the lord dropped something
00:03:02.196 --> 00:03:03.497
The lord dropped something into my spirit about that,
00:03:03.564 --> 00:03:05.866
Into my spirit about that, the verses i just read,
00:03:05.933 --> 00:03:08.035
The verses i just read, and i've never focused in
00:03:08.102 --> 00:03:10.137
And i've never focused in on just the one that
00:03:10.204 --> 00:03:11.505
On just the one that i'm looking at,
00:03:11.572 --> 00:03:12.373
I'm looking at, but that whole bunch
00:03:12.439 --> 00:03:13.874
But that whole bunch of scriptures that
00:03:13.941 --> 00:03:14.875
Of scriptures that i read are powerful,
00:03:14.942 --> 00:03:17.011
I read are powerful, powerful verses.
00:03:17.077 --> 00:03:19.480
Powerful verses. zerubbabel was sent back
00:03:19.546 --> 00:03:21.181
Zerubbabel was sent back to build the temple.
00:03:21.248 --> 00:03:23.484
To build the temple. it was devastated and destroyed,
00:03:23.550 --> 00:03:25.219
It was devastated and destroyed, and he was released from
00:03:25.286 --> 00:03:26.487
And he was released from babylon captivity to go back.
00:03:26.553 --> 00:03:29.290
Babylon captivity to go back. he had favor with the king
00:03:29.356 --> 00:03:30.357
He had favor with the king of babylon to rebuild
00:03:30.424 --> 00:03:31.925
Of babylon to rebuild the temple and rebuild
00:03:31.992 --> 00:03:33.460
The temple and rebuild the walls in the city.
00:03:33.527 --> 00:03:35.729
The walls in the city. and as he went back,
00:03:35.796 --> 00:03:37.865
And as he went back, it started off great,
00:03:37.931 --> 00:03:40.434
It started off great, but then as the text said,
00:03:40.501 --> 00:03:44.004
But then as the text said, it was like a mountain that
00:03:44.071 --> 00:03:45.572
It was like a mountain that was standing before him.
00:03:45.639 --> 00:03:47.441
Was standing before him. he laid the foundation
00:03:47.508 --> 00:03:49.243
He laid the foundation and then nothing happened.
00:03:49.310 --> 00:03:51.412
And then nothing happened. he got it going,
00:03:51.478 --> 00:03:53.013
He got it going, but the dream and the vision
00:03:53.080 --> 00:03:54.148
But the dream and the vision that god gave him ceased,
00:03:54.214 --> 00:03:57.518
That god gave him ceased, and the angel,
00:03:57.584 --> 00:03:59.386
And the angel, god sent an angel
00:03:59.453 --> 00:04:00.788
God sent an angel and the angel says,
00:04:00.854 --> 00:04:02.122
And the angel says, "thus says the lord to you,
00:04:02.189 --> 00:04:03.390
"thus says the lord to you, zerubbabel, the mountain
00:04:03.457 --> 00:04:05.693
Zerubbabel, the mountain that you're facing,
00:04:05.759 --> 00:04:07.361
That you're facing, god is gonna smooth it out.
00:04:07.428 --> 00:04:10.030
God is gonna smooth it out. it will become --
00:04:10.097 --> 00:04:11.899
It will become -- it will move from a massive,
00:04:11.965 --> 00:04:15.803
It will move from a massive, uncrossable mountain
00:04:15.869 --> 00:04:17.404
Uncrossable mountain to a smooth highway
00:04:17.471 --> 00:04:18.806
To a smooth highway and plane that you will be
00:04:18.872 --> 00:04:21.175
And plane that you will be able to walk right into
00:04:21.241 --> 00:04:23.444
Able to walk right into the promise that god gave you."
00:04:23.510 --> 00:04:25.245
The promise that god gave you." and then, he said
00:04:25.312 --> 00:04:26.213
And then, he said something else powerful.
00:04:26.280 --> 00:04:27.348
Something else powerful. and he said, "and your hands
00:04:27.414 --> 00:04:29.650
And he said, "and your hands laid the foundation."
00:04:29.717 --> 00:04:32.453
Laid the foundation." god started it,
00:04:32.519 --> 00:04:33.721
God started it, and he said, "i'm going --
00:04:33.787 --> 00:04:35.789
And he said, "i'm going -- your hands are going
00:04:35.856 --> 00:04:36.957
Your hands are going to finish this project.
00:04:37.024 --> 00:04:39.827
To finish this project. for who has despised the day --
00:04:39.893 --> 00:04:42.429
For who has despised the day -- do not despise the day,"
00:04:42.496 --> 00:04:45.666
Do not despise the day," one translation said,
00:04:45.733 --> 00:04:47.368
One translation said, "of small beginnings."
00:04:47.434 --> 00:04:50.771
"of small beginnings." it's an angel talking

Don't despise how insignificant it looks like your dream is
00:05:04.885 --> 00:05:09.256
It looks like your dream is just so down here
00:05:09.323 --> 00:05:11.525
Just so down here when you were believing
00:05:11.592 --> 00:05:12.526
When you were believing for so much bigger
00:05:12.593 --> 00:05:13.494

And i'm preaching today about this angel talking

Building project. god sent him to rebuild

The walls and now nothing's happening.
00:05:35.382 --> 00:05:36.417
Nothing's happening. it's been ten years,
00:05:36.483 --> 00:05:38.385
It's been ten years, the workers stopped showing up.
00:05:38.452 --> 00:05:40.654
The workers stopped showing up. they were being sued.
00:05:40.721 --> 00:05:42.389
They were being sued. you can read the story.
00:05:42.456 --> 00:05:43.557
You can read the story. they were literally being

They were literally being shut down by the government
00:05:45.325 --> 00:05:48.962
Shut down by the government that was against what
00:05:49.029 --> 00:05:50.164
That was against what they were doing.
00:05:50.230 --> 00:05:51.365
They were doing. in that time,
00:05:51.432 --> 00:05:52.199
In that time, the leaders over that

The leaders over that providence shut 'em down,

Time after time. and the project was started,
00:05:56.570 --> 00:05:58.572
And the project was started, but it was sitting there
00:05:58.639 --> 00:05:59.840
But it was sitting there unfinished for over ten years.
00:05:59.907 --> 00:06:03.977
Unfinished for over ten years. and god sent an angel

00:06:09.616 --> 00:06:11.385
With a blaze of a vision and great success, and now
00:06:11.452 --> 00:06:13.887
And great success, and now it's just not happening.

A little small talk, and he says,
00:06:31.338 --> 00:06:31.705
And he says, "let me tell you the key

You despise the little, small part that god has
00:06:37.544 --> 00:06:39.146
Small part that god has started because if god
00:06:39.213 --> 00:06:40.380
Started because if god ever starts something,
00:06:40.447 --> 00:06:42.082
Ever starts something, he is the author
00:06:42.149 --> 00:06:43.851
He is the author and he is the finisher.
00:06:43.917 --> 00:06:45.118
And he is the finisher. he will never leave it
00:06:45.185 --> 00:06:46.253
He will never leave it like it is,
00:06:46.320 --> 00:06:47.488
Like it is, even though you've seen
00:06:47.554 --> 00:06:48.622
Even though you've seen nothing taking place
00:06:48.689 --> 00:06:50.157
Nothing taking place for ten years in that
00:06:50.224 --> 00:06:52.292
For ten years in that area of your life."

Joseph learned to not devalue where he was.

He did not despise the day of small beginnings,
00:07:20.254 --> 00:07:21.288
Of small beginnings, but he worked so hard
00:07:21.355 --> 00:07:22.823
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.
00:07:46.780 --> 00:07:49.750
He didn't despise where he was. but the bible said that he

Of the strangest places and say, "do it here."

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

He took ezekiel and dropped him in

And dropped him in a graveyard and said,

A graveyard and said, "have at it.

Of small beginnings. i hate to tell y'all this,

I hate to tell y'all this, but there's just not
00:09:15.569 --> 00:09:16.870
But there's just not enough wonderful places,
00:09:16.937 --> 00:09:20.307
Enough wonderful places, and if you're in ministry,
00:09:20.374 --> 00:09:21.274
And if you're in ministry, there's not enough great

Churches just to give you one. so, god will drop you

So, god will drop you into places and he'll say,

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

Endurance has to be transformed into adventure.
00:09:40.894 --> 00:09:44.231
The lord told jeremiah
00:09:44.331 --> 00:09:45.565
In the 29th chapter,
00:09:45.632 --> 00:09:46.933
"tell the elders of babylon,
00:09:47.000 --> 00:09:48.669
Who are down there in

Babylonian captivity
00:09:50.270 --> 00:09:51.805
And they want to come
00:09:51.872 --> 00:09:52.673
Home to jerusalem."
00:09:52.773 --> 00:09:53.807
Home to jerusalem." jerusalem is where

Jerusalem is where the glory is, that's wonderful,
00:09:54.741 --> 00:09:56.410
The glory is, that's wonderful, and babylon is such
00:09:56.476 --> 00:09:57.511
And babylon is such a wicked place,
00:09:57.577 --> 00:09:58.612
A wicked place, it's such an evil place.
00:09:58.679 --> 00:10:00.113
It's such an evil place. he said, "you tell those
00:10:00.180 --> 00:10:02.215
He said, "you tell those elders there that are
00:10:02.282 --> 00:10:03.350
Elders there that are whining and complaining,"
00:10:03.417 --> 00:10:04.818
Whining and complaining," listen to what he said,
00:10:04.885 --> 00:10:05.752
Listen to what he said, "build houses, plant gardens,
00:10:05.819 --> 00:10:08.422
"build houses, plant gardens, and sow, and seek peace
00:10:08.488 --> 00:10:10.957
And sow, and seek peace and prosperity in the city

And prosperity in the city that i have put you.

That i have put you. pray for the peace of the city

Pray for the peace of the city because it will prosper,

Because it will prosper, and if it prospers,

And if it prospers, you will prosper."
00:10:18.665 --> 00:10:19.299
You will prosper." in other words,
00:10:19.366 --> 00:10:20.067
In other words, sometimes god says,
00:10:20.133 --> 00:10:21.601
Sometimes god says, "build houses and plant gardens.
00:10:21.668 --> 00:10:23.704
"build houses and plant gardens. i don't care how bad it is."

I don't care how bad it is." and that's, kinda, how you feel
00:10:25.172 --> 00:10:26.206
And that's, kinda, how you feel about america right now.

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

And it seems like such a small thing that i'm gon' ask you.
00:12:42.542 --> 00:12:47.914
Thing that i'm gon' ask you. but i feel like saying

But i feel like saying to every person in this room,
00:12:49.616 --> 00:12:52.619
To every person in this room, if you don't know
00:12:52.686 --> 00:12:53.753
If you don't know you're right with god,
00:12:53.820 --> 00:12:55.355
You're right with god, this is your altar call.
00:12:55.422 --> 00:12:57.624
This is your altar call. if you've got trouble
00:12:57.691 --> 00:12:58.792
If you've got trouble in your home or in your life,
00:12:58.859 --> 00:13:01.661
In your home or in your life, this is your altar call.
00:13:01.728 --> 00:13:03.830
This is your altar call. if you're in a painful season
00:13:03.897 --> 00:13:05.665
If you're in a painful season when it looks like your dream
00:13:05.732 --> 00:13:06.967
When it looks like your dream is drying up and dying,
00:13:07.033 --> 00:13:08.869
Is drying up and dying, god does not want you
00:13:08.935 --> 00:13:10.303
God does not want you to quit and give up.
00:13:10.370 --> 00:13:11.371
To quit and give up. i don't believe

I don't believe you're here by accident.
00:13:12.005 --> 00:13:13.440
You're here by accident. i believe that there's glory
00:13:13.506 --> 00:13:16.243
I believe that there's glory in the insignificant.
00:13:16.309 --> 00:13:18.979
In the insignificant. when god breathes on it,
00:13:19.045 --> 00:13:20.580
When god breathes on it, it will live.
00:13:20.647 --> 00:13:25.318
It will live. and if i'm preaching

I'm not gon' do this long. it's not how long we pray,

It's not how long we pray, it's the small prayers,

It's the small prayers, it's the small beliefs,

A breakthrough. you've worked hard
00:13:50.677 --> 00:13:51.611
You've worked hard and you need to see

Shout the grace of g -- if the grace of god

If the grace of god doesn't do it,
00:14:05.358 --> 00:14:05.926
Doesn't do it, you sure can't do it.
00:14:05.992 --> 00:14:07.160
You sure can't do it. if you got a son on drugs
00:14:07.227 --> 00:14:08.295
If you got a son on drugs or daughter on drugs

Or daughter on drugs or alcohol or whatever,
00:14:10.330 --> 00:14:12.499

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

How far you can go and how high.
00:17:48.815 --> 00:17:49.983
And how high. god puts a dream
00:17:50.049 --> 00:17:53.119
God puts a dream in his people.
00:17:53.186 --> 00:17:56.756
In his people. because if our young people
00:17:56.823 --> 00:17:58.091
Because if our young people don't have a vision,
00:17:58.158 --> 00:17:59.826
Don't have a vision, they become unrestrained.
00:17:59.893 --> 00:18:01.694
They become unrestrained. they'll waste years
00:18:01.761 --> 00:18:02.762
They'll waste years of their life
00:18:02.829 --> 00:18:03.596
Of their life doing crazy stuff,
00:18:03.663 --> 00:18:04.898
Doing crazy stuff, but when you've got a dis --
00:18:04.964 --> 00:18:06.766
But when you've got a dis -- when you got a vision
00:18:06.833 --> 00:18:07.734
When you got a vision for your life,
00:18:07.800 --> 00:18:08.468
For your life, it keeps you disciplined.
00:18:08.535 --> 00:18:12.972
It keeps you disciplined. and he says, "don't you despise
00:18:13.039 --> 00:18:15.241
And he says, "don't you despise the day of small beginnings."
00:18:15.308 --> 00:18:20.480
The day of small beginnings." don't you, don't you
00:18:20.547 --> 00:18:22.148
Don't you, don't you devalue who you are,
00:18:22.215 --> 00:18:25.051
Devalue who you are, who god is, and his dream
00:18:25.118 --> 00:18:28.154
Who god is, and his dream and purpose for your life.
00:18:28.221 --> 00:18:32.592
And purpose for your life. "because i'm gonna put things in

Your heart to do and i'm gonna give you the grace to do it."
00:18:36.996 --> 00:18:42.769
Give you the grace to do it." and this is how it happens.
00:18:42.835 --> 00:18:44.437
And this is how it happens. i was 20 years old when god
00:18:44.504 --> 00:18:46.239
I was 20 years old when god called me to preach.
00:18:46.306 --> 00:18:47.307
Called me to preach. how many of you are 20?
