After he walked away from the life he was in,
00:03:05.666 --> 00:03:07.301
From the life he was in, after he gave up all for christ,
00:03:07.368 --> 00:03:09.970
After he gave up all for christ, after he went through,
00:03:10.037 --> 00:03:11.238
After he went through, it looks like loss after loss,
00:03:11.305 --> 00:03:13.641
It looks like loss after loss, after he turned down
00:03:13.707 --> 00:03:15.242
After he turned down the big contract because
00:03:15.309 --> 00:03:17.044
The big contract because he knew it wasn't
00:03:17.111 --> 00:03:18.245
He knew it wasn't god's will for his life.
00:03:18.312 --> 00:03:22.182
God's will for his life. he turned
00:03:22.249 --> 00:03:23.584
He turned and after these things,
00:03:23.651 --> 00:03:26.954
And after these things, it says that that night,
00:03:27.021 --> 00:03:31.425
It says that that night, the lord came
00:03:31.492 --> 00:03:32.526
The lord came in a vision and said,
00:03:32.593 --> 00:03:33.961
In a vision and said, "do not be afraid, abraham."
00:03:34.028 --> 00:03:36.630
"do not be afraid, abraham." watch this.
00:03:36.697 --> 00:03:37.164
Watch this. "when you give up stuff for god,
00:03:37.231 --> 00:03:39.433

I am your shield. i am your," everybody say
00:03:42.069 --> 00:03:44.171

The next three words, "exceeding great reward."
00:03:45.439 --> 00:03:49.143
"exceeding great reward." and abraham said,
00:03:49.209 --> 00:03:50.110
And abraham said, "lord god, what will you give me

"lord god, what will you give me seeing i go childless?"
00:03:52.846 --> 00:03:57.284
Seeing i go childless?" you know what he was saying?
00:03:57.351 --> 00:04:00.154
You know what he was saying? he was saying, "i hear you

I don't see it coming to pass. but after these things,
00:04:16.804 --> 00:04:19.773
But after these things, i thought god was going
00:04:19.840 --> 00:04:20.774
I thought god was going to show up after these things."
00:04:20.841 --> 00:04:23.977
To show up after these things." he said, "i'll be
00:04:24.044 --> 00:04:25.212
He said, "i'll be your great reward."
00:04:25.279 --> 00:04:27.381
Your great reward." "what about that which
00:04:27.448 --> 00:04:29.383
"what about that which hasn't been done that you
00:04:29.450 --> 00:04:31.318
Hasn't been done that you told me you would do?"
00:04:31.385 --> 00:04:34.321
Told me you would do?" he said, "i put
00:04:34.388 --> 00:04:35.422
He said, "i put everything in order.
00:04:35.489 --> 00:04:36.590
Everything in order. i've done everything
00:04:36.657 --> 00:04:37.825
I've done everything you told me to do.
00:04:37.891 --> 00:04:39.193
You told me to do. lord, how will i know?

Lord, how will i know? lord, i believe."
00:04:41.128 --> 00:04:43.063
Lord, i believe." one man said in
00:04:43.130 --> 00:04:43.764
One man said in the new testament like this,
00:04:43.831 --> 00:04:45.232
The new testament like this, "lord, i believe,
00:04:45.299 --> 00:04:46.266
"lord, i believe, help thou my unbelief."
00:04:46.333 --> 00:04:49.336
Help thou my unbelief." it's one of those moments.
00:04:49.403 --> 00:04:51.238
It's one of those moments. how can you believe and be full
00:04:51.305 --> 00:04:55.209
How can you believe and be full of unbelief at the same time?
00:04:55.275 --> 00:04:56.744
Of unbelief at the same time? i believe it's days of belief
00:04:56.810 --> 00:04:59.012
I believe it's days of belief and days of unbelief.
00:04:59.079 --> 00:05:01.482
And days of unbelief. really, when you're walking
00:05:01.548 --> 00:05:02.282
Really, when you're walking with god and you know that
00:05:02.349 --> 00:05:04.485
With god and you know that he's given you a promise,
00:05:04.551 --> 00:05:06.053
He's given you a promise, there'll be days of belief
00:05:06.120 --> 00:05:07.888
There'll be days of belief where you know it,
00:05:07.955 --> 00:05:08.722
Where you know it, and you believe it.
00:05:08.789 --> 00:05:09.423
And you believe it. and i can remember like,
00:05:09.490 --> 00:05:10.724
And i can remember like, even with the raising
00:05:10.791 --> 00:05:12.326
Even with the raising of a family and stuff,
00:05:12.393 --> 00:05:13.594
Of a family and stuff, there were days when i believed.
00:05:13.660 --> 00:05:15.929
There were days when i believed. and then, there were days when
00:05:15.996 --> 00:05:17.297
And then, there were days when the enemy would hit so hard,
00:05:17.364 --> 00:05:19.500
The enemy would hit so hard, everything would happen that was
00:05:19.566 --> 00:05:21.735
Everything would happen that was the opposite of the promise.
00:05:21.802 --> 00:05:23.904
The opposite of the promise. and i would have days where
00:05:23.971 --> 00:05:25.005
And i would have days where i was honest, where i said,
00:05:25.072 --> 00:05:26.673
I was honest, where i said, "well, i don't know, god,
00:05:26.740 --> 00:05:28.776
"well, i don't know, god, i don't know.

I don't know. but deep down inside
00:05:29.643 --> 00:05:31.011
But deep down inside i still believe,
00:05:31.078 --> 00:05:31.845
I still believe, but help my unbelief cause
00:05:31.912 --> 00:05:33.514
But help my unbelief cause i'm wavering right here."
00:05:33.580 --> 00:05:37.718
I'm wavering right here." there are days when you feel
00:05:37.785 --> 00:05:38.752
There are days when you feel like it's going to happen,
00:05:38.819 --> 00:05:39.887
Like it's going to happen, and there's days
00:05:39.953 --> 00:05:41.054
And there's days when you wonder,
00:05:41.121 --> 00:05:42.022
When you wonder, where is god?
00:05:42.089 --> 00:05:44.091
Where is god? how long though, lord?
00:05:44.158 --> 00:05:45.426
How long though, lord? how do i know this thing
00:05:45.492 --> 00:05:47.294
How do i know this thing is going to happen?
00:05:47.361 --> 00:05:49.596
Is going to happen? if you believe he's not
00:05:49.663 --> 00:05:50.697
If you believe he's not a man and he can't lie,
00:05:50.764 --> 00:05:53.767
A man and he can't lie, i just believe you need
00:05:53.834 --> 00:05:55.202

Great devotion everything god told him to do.
00:08:02.729 --> 00:08:03.797
God told him to do. he's surrendered
00:08:03.864 --> 00:08:04.932
He's surrendered and given up everything.
00:08:04.998 --> 00:08:07.167
And given up everything. and here he goes deeply devoted.
00:08:07.234 --> 00:08:12.606
And here he goes deeply devoted. and instead of god showing up,
00:08:12.673 --> 00:08:18.111
And instead of god showing up, guess what the bible
00:08:18.178 --> 00:08:19.246
Guess what the bible said happened.
00:08:19.313 --> 00:08:20.781

And when the vultures came down on the carcasses,
00:08:29.723 --> 00:08:33.193
Came down on the carcasses, abraham drove them away.
00:08:33.260 --> 00:08:39.366
Abraham drove them away. something in abraham said,
00:08:39.433 --> 00:08:41.134
Something in abraham said, "while i'm waiting,
00:08:41.201 --> 00:08:42.536
"while i'm waiting, i am not about to let you
00:08:42.603 --> 00:08:45.072
I am not about to let you steal the promise of god.
00:08:45.138 --> 00:08:48.342

The best i know laid out here and here comes not god,
00:09:00.487 --> 00:09:02.789
And here comes not god, but right before
00:09:02.856 --> 00:09:04.891
But right before the breakthrough comes,
00:09:04.958 --> 00:09:06.493
The breakthrough comes, the vultures who are
00:09:06.560 --> 00:09:08.395
The vultures who are whispering it's dead."

It's something that looks like what you want to not come.
00:12:02.903 --> 00:12:07.174
What you want to not come. you make something
00:12:07.240 --> 00:12:08.275

Like a scarecrow, and you hang it upside down.
00:12:10.811 --> 00:12:13.146

But you wouldn't be here if god hadn't fought
00:13:46.406 --> 00:13:47.307
If god hadn't fought your battle.
00:13:47.374 --> 00:13:53.480

[applause]
00:15:03.416 --> 00:15:06.886
The bible said that,
00:15:07.620 --> 00:15:11.891
The bible said that, "suddenly thick darkness came
00:15:11.958 --> 00:15:16.196
"suddenly thick darkness came after he drove them away,
00:15:16.262 --> 00:15:20.333
After he drove them away, and a flaming torch started."
00:15:20.400 --> 00:15:25.839
And a flaming torch started." it was like the invisible man
00:15:25.905 --> 00:15:27.741

Driving away the vultures of death,
00:15:40.920 --> 00:15:43.156
The vultures of death, and doubt, and discouragement.
00:15:43.223 --> 00:15:47.927
And doubt, and discouragement. god said, "this is it.
00:15:47.994 --> 00:15:50.930
God said, "this is it. you will have a son,
00:15:50.997 --> 00:15:52.298
You will have a son, his name will be isaac,
00:15:52.365 --> 00:15:54.434

The last thing they said on the internet that will get rid
00:16:18.024 --> 00:16:19.359
The internet that will get rid of those vultures is noise.
00:16:19.426 --> 00:16:22.429
Of those vultures is noise. it's called praise.
00:16:22.495 --> 00:16:25.131
