  Speaker 1: Good morning y'all.
• 0:01
  Speaker 1: It's another Saturday, faith Fuel, and today's topic is timing.
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: It's timing and I'm really looking forward to just sharing some things that are on my heart concerning timing, and I hope this blesses you.
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: So, for those of y'all who are just kind of new to Faith Fuel, I just pop on every Saturday.
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: I typically come on for about less than 10 minutes and I just share something that's inspiring, hopefully inspiring and encouraging you, and so I hope you had a great week.
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: Um, I hope you get something out of this teaching and I hope you like and share this so somebody else can get this as well.
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: All right, y'all.
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: So so, first of all, lord, we thank you for today, this amazing saturn, for any person who's under the sound of my voice, who is right now kind of wondering, like where you at, and so we ask that you'll reveal to us through your words and give us some guidance and some inspiration and encouragement and motivation when it comes to timing in our life.
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: Amen, so we're going to come out of first, samuel.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: Y'all, it's still really warm here in Georgia and if I start like beating up and sweating, don't come for me.
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: All right, I'm a girl of a certain age, but I'm coming out of 1 Samuel and 1 Samuel a lot of us, a lot of preachers, a lot of teachers, a lot of us believers, people who read the Bible, we typically come here and we read the story of Hannah and I think this is for me again, you know, hannah, the mother of Samuel, really good story, so much to take from in terms of the things that Hannah went through, not just in her own right, you know, in preparing herself, really wanting, really desiring a child, and so a lot of times when we read this we think about this from a mother's perspective of you know what she went through, even being bullied a little bit by that other lady, sorry y'all, but even being bullied, you know, and you know, really, really, really being set up to fail in her own mind, watching Penina give birth to other children and having no children of her own, having no children of her own.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: So it starts off in first Samuel.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: I'm going to kind of try to contextualize this just a little bit because I want you to see something, because so Hannah, in verse three, talks about this man used to grow up, year by year from his city to worship and sacrifice to the Lord of Hosts and Shiloh, where the two sons of Eli Hophni and Phinehas were priests of the Lord.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: And on the day that Elkan, two sons of Eli Hophni and Phinehas were priests of the Lord, and on the day that Elkanah sacrificed, he would give portions to Penina, his wife, and to all her sons and daughters.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: But to Hannah he gave a double portion because he loved her.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: Though the Lord had closed her womb, her rival used to provoke her grievously, to irritate her because the Lord had closed her womb.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: So it went on year by year, and as often as she went up to the house of the Lord, she used to provoke her.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: Therefore, hannah wept and would not eat.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: And Hannah, her husband, said to her Hannah, why do you eat and why do you not eat and why is your heart sad?
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: Am I not more to you than 10 sons?
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: What Elkanah was saying, I believe, is isn't my love enough for you?
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: Isn't my love enough for you?
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: Isn't my love enough for you, more so than the sons that you don't have?
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: So so in verse 11, just pulling it down a little bit, she vowed and vowed and said oh, lord of hosts, this is her going and praying to the Lord.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: You, if you will indeed look on the attention of affliction of your servant and remember me, and I'm going to skip a little bit and come over to verse 20.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: And it says and in due time.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: Hannah conceived and bore a son, and she called his name Samuel, for she said, I have asked for him from the Lord.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: This is what timing, this is what I'm going to talk about with timing.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: Today.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: We're going to take it out of the context of maternal timing, meaning those of you who are praying and asking the Lord for a son or daughter or child.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: We're going to talk about timing in another practical manner Timing especially for those of y'all who are trying to.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: Maybe you're trying to build a business, maybe you're trying to expand a business, maybe you're trying to build a ministry, whatever that looks like, but timing in due time is really important.
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: What we want to take away from here is Hannah had this incredible desire on her heart.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: Like you do, you might have this incredible desire on your heart to build something and you go to the Lord and you, you know, lord, give me this thing.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: Your competitors, or even, can I just say this, maybe some of your friends you know, people in your friend group might even try to convince you.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: Don't do that, don't worry about doing that.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: You know no one's ever did that, you know.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: So you might have that what we call.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: A lot of times christians say the enemy is coming after me, but people will be, you know.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: So you might have that what we call.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: A lot of times Christians say the enemy is coming after me, but people will be, you know, be trying to convince you otherwise and bully you a little bit.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: And yet what happens is, while Hannah was still waiting for the Lord to produce the blessing of Samuel right for her son, there were things that she had to do during that time.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: Right and in due time.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: The Lord didn't say in 10 days you're going to get pregnant.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: He didn't say in one year your business is going to flourish and then you can quit everything else right.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: It says in due time.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: What we need to do is we have to align with God's timing for the things, the projects, the business, the speaking engagements, all the things we have to align to his.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: The promotion, the acceleration, all the things that we ask God for.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: We have to align to his time.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: When I pray, I ask God, I give him my desire, and then I say I ask God, I give him my desire, and then I say, let your will be done Right.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: So so I have a couple of things that I want to share, just in terms of things.
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: I want to say, just key takeaways real quick.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: The first one is I want you to remember, about due timing, that we are not, you know, when you give your desire.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: There's a lot of folks and put this, put it this way, and please don't be mad at me.
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: Okay, there's a lot of folks and put it this way, and please don't be mad at me.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: Okay, there's a lot of folks that they get a passion for a project and they really believe that the Lord is telling them to go head on full speed and do that thing, and he probably is.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: Okay, you put the desire in your heart and he's laying some things out, but you hit a wall and you're hitting roadblocks and things are slowing down.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: It doesn't mean that God is telling you to quit your job, quit your day job to go pursue that other thing 1000%.
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: He might be inspiring you.
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: Thank you, holy Spirit, for you to put more time into developing that thing before you leave that day job.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: Why?
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: Because when you move into something that's your divine purpose, there isn't much of a struggle with it.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: Can I just tell you, just like for real, like you would see, those people and things just seem to flow because they're in that, they're in his divine timing and all things are working together for my good.
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: I can literally see everything aligning for me.
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: It's because I'm in his timing, and so I want to encourage you that the word says in due time.
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: So don't leave a good paying job to just take something up.
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: Wait until wait, because this is where you have to use your critical thinking, right?
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: Wait until that thing is ready before you let go of the other provision that God gave you, right?
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: Why?
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: So that it doesn't impact your household, it doesn't impact your mental health.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: Another thing that happens is I can tell for sure and I know y'all can too when someone is working through and they're operating in their full purpose, not passion purpose, because I got a passion for shopping but that's not my purpose.
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: Okay, when I'm operating in my purpose, y'all, I can go to that day job and I still have time and energy reserved, I still can do the things of worship, I can still come on and teach and preach four times a week, because that is my purpose.
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: My purpose is to teach and worship.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: Okay, so you're not.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: A lot of times people want to let go.
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: They want to let go of the provisions that God gave you because you want to jump into this thing faster, and so you're interrupting the timing in due timing, because in that job that you might not appreciate right now, there are things that you're going to learn that's going to take you and help you in that business you're trying to build.
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: Okay, it takes time to birth something that's you are building again.
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: Hannah went through this, you know, and she, you know, prayed and she was troubled in spirit and you know she was crying out to the Lord because she had a deep passion, a deep desire to be a mother.
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: But while she was worship, while she was doing that, she was still living, y'all right.
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: So it does take time to birth something.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: I want you to give yourself grace.
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: Just because you come up with the idea today doesn't mean it's going to pop off tomorrow.
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: Don't be fooled by what you see on social media.
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: People work behind the scenes for many years and then they tell people oh, I'm launching, blah, blah, blah.
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: You ever see those influencers.
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: They come on and they announce they're leaving their corporate gig and they're going full term into content creation.
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: They were doing content creation for years.
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: Right Timing, in due timing, all right.
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: The last thing I want to say is there is purpose when you pivot.
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: You got to use this time to prepare you.
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: If you're right now, you've launched the thing and it feels like things aren't coming together really quickly and you're kind of struggling just a little bit, you can't find clients, but there is a purpose in a pivot.
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: I want you to just pause.
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: I want you to go back and ask the Lord to show you the timing.
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: Like Lord, align me with your timing so that your will be done.
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: I want your perfect timing.
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: Give me an excellent spirit, lord.
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: Bless my hands, but give me the strategy and the timing.
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: And if I'm out of sync with you, lord, god, I want to get back in sync with you.
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: Your word says in due time.
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: Hannah conceived and bore a son.
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: So I thank you, lord, that in due time I will conceive and bear this great business that I'm building, this ministry that I'm building, in due time.
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: Lord, god, I will be promoted on my job In due time, lord God.
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: I will be expanded in my territory in due time, but in the time, lord God, prepare me for this purpose.
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: Amen.
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: Why y'all?
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: Because I want nothing but the best for all of us.
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: I want us to excel.
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: I want everything that we do in this birthing season that you yield an incredible, great reward.
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: I want you to have the kind of lives, y'all, that your children and children's children are going to echo your name through generations and they're going to have your picture up and say man, thank God for my grandma so-and-so, my great-grandma, great-grandpa, so-and-so, because they planted the seed.
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: But again, even seeds when you plant them, it takes time.
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: For that it takes time y'all, it takes time.
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: So be patient.
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: Be patient and don't be bad.
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: I love you.
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: I hope this blessed y'all Again.
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: I came out of 1 Samuel and talked a little bit about Hannah, just to recap real quickly but really leaning in on verse 20.
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: And in due time Hannah conceived and bore a son and she called his name Samuel for said I've asked for him from the Lord.
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: I hope that the business that you're asking the Lord for comes to, comes into play, that you're blessed by for generations to come, and I hope this message touched you today.
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: Thank you so much for watching and have an incredible Saturday.
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: Bye y'all.
