God Knows When! - Bishop T.D. Jakes · Pst T.D Jakes -The POTTER'S HOUSE

• 0:12
  Speaker 1: I'm excited. I want to touch and agree before I
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: do anything else for those of you who have invested
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: into the kingdom of God, who have hooked the cables
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: of your faith to the power of his promise, expecting
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: that there'll be a transfer in the spirit world. Wealth
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: starts on the inside before it shows up on the outside.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: Healing starts on the inside before it shows up on
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: the outside. You start being healed in your spirit before
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: you're healed in your body. And I'm praying that there'll
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: be a connection and that this service will jumpstart your faith.
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: Let's pray. Father, in the name of Jesus, we thank
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: you for your many blessings. We thank you for your kindness.
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: We thank you for your goodness and your peace and
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: your power. We thank you for your strength and your tenacity. Amen.
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: We thank you because you're long suffering because you put
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: up with us. Bless every seed that's sown and every
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: seed that will be sown. As people continue to long on,
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: let the same anointing fall on their gift as it
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: falls on ours. We pray proactively. We bless what hadn't
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: even come yet. We call it done in the name
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: of Jesus. Not just historically, not just contemporarily, but proactively.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: We pray in advance. Press down. Shake it together and
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: running over. In the name of Jesus, we pray. Somebody
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: who loves him, shout amen. I'll say amen again. I'm
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: anxious on this Sunday morning to share the word of
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: the Lord with you. I have been on a trajectory
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: all through January. We have been following the plight of
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: the Hebrews in a captivity drug down into Babylon. And
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: I want to pick up where I left off from
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: last Sunday. And go deeper into the word of God.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: And if you want to join me. Go to Psalms
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: 126 verse 1 through 6. So you can hear what
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: the spirit of the Lord is saying to the church.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: Occasionally while I'm ministering the prompter will come up. Giving
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: late comers an opportunity to sow into the kingdom of God.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: So that you can step into this blessing that God
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: has for his people. When you have it say amen.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: Would you stand for the reading of the word. It
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: is in the book of Psalms, 126th division, starting at
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: the first verse, concluding at the sixth verse, that we
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: will find the canvas on which I will paint the
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: text and the truths that God has shared with me
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: regarding your life. Let us start at verse 1. When
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: the Lord turned again the captivity of Zion, we were
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: like them that dream. Then was our mouth filled with laughter.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: And our tongue was singing. Then said they among the heathen.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: The Lord have done great things for them. The Lord
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: have done great things for us. Well we are glad.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: Turn again our captivity O Lord. As the streams in
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: the south. They that sow in tears. Shall reap in joy.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall,
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: check this out, doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: sheaves with him. Can you say amen? I want to
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: go back to that first verse. I want to read
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: that first verse again. Psalms 126 and 1. When the
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: Lord turned again the captivity of Zion we were like
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: them that dream. I read the whole thing but I
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: really didn't need it. I didn't need the whole verse.
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: I really want to preach on the word when. When
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: the Lord turned again the captivity of Zion we were
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: like them that dream. When the Lord turned again the
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: captivity of Zion we were like them that dream. Let
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: us pray. As we consider the subject, God knows when.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: Say that with me. God knows when. Say it again.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: God knows when. Say it again. God knows when. One
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: more time. God knows when. Let us pray. Father, thank
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: you for the privilege. Amen. on this Sunday morning that
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: you have endowed us with the supernatural grace to conversate
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: with divinity, to convocate upon the cloud of your anointing,
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: to have this precious moment, to be saturated with truth
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: in such a way that we are affected all week
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: long because of what we heard today. Amen. Now bind
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: every devil and every distraction. When we're home there can
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: be all kinds of distractions. Bind every distraction. So that
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: we can focus in and hear what thus saith the Lord.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: For in your hands are the words of eternal life.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: I believe you for it. In Jesus name. Some believers
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: say amen. Have a seat and let's discuss this word.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: God knows when. When I read the text, amidst the
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: magnitude of powerful things, prolific things that stood out to me,
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: it was the one word, when, that captivated me the most.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: When the time capsule, when the ambiguity of it, when
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: the uncertainty of it, when the promise of it. The
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: Lord knows when is often an expression. Like you say,
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: the Lord knows when I'll get back to Alabama. The
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: Lord knows when I'll get back to the store. It's
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: more of an expression. But today I want to use
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: it more as a conviction. I want it to have
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: more meaning than a casual American colloquialism. I want it
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: to point to the fact that the Lord knows when
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: is my conviction. I want to discuss an absolute conviction
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: with you. Just something that you can really sink your
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: teeth into. The Lord knows when. His knowledge and sense
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: of timing has long been a discussion of theological worth.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: That God knows is where we get omniscience. God being
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: all knowing, knowing everything from the beginning to the end
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: that the Lord knows. It is comforting to say the
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: Lord knows when, especially when I don't. It is important
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: for us to understand the Lord knows when to rebuke
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: the tendency to believe that our lives are chaotic. We
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: turn on the television set every day and we don't
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: know what in the world we're going to see. We
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: don't know what's going to happen. We don't know what
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: calamity is going to face. There's a feeling of uncertainty.
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: There's a pensiveness that's inherent in our spirits right now,
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: sitting on edge, not knowing what's going to happen next.
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: To know and to remind yourself that God is omniscient
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: and that God has a plan and he has a
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: schedule and he has a sequence and he has a
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: structure gives comfort, whether he shares it with me or not.
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: For God often knows things that he chooses not to share.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: Like parents don't always share with their children and children
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: don't always tell their parents. It is possible to have
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: information and not espouse the information to you, but the
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: Lord knows when. It's like children going on a ride
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: and they're in the backseat of the car and they
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: keep saying to you, are we there yet? Yet they
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: are comfortable to ride on the car in the uncertainty
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: of not knowing where they are in the journey. They
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: are confident because they know that their father or their
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: mother has the wheel. Are we there yet? I don't
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: know whether we're there yet. I don't know whether we're
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: at the end of suffering. I don't know whether we're
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: at the end of sacrifice. I don't know whether we're
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: coming to harvest or not. Are we there yet? But
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: I do know who holds the wheel. And as long
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: as I know who holds the wheel, I'm not worried
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: about where I am in the journey. Because I know
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: before we got in the car, you had a plan,
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: you had a map, you had a strategy, you had
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: a timing. And I'm going to wait on you. Jesus
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: at one point tells his disciples, he says, henceforth I
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: call you no longer servants, but friends. For a servant
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: knoweth not what his master doeth. It is possible to
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: serve God and not know when. It is possible to
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: be your parent's child and not know, are we there yet?
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: It is possible to be going through a process of
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: healing and know it's coming but don't know when. But
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: then when is also a promise because it lets me
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: know that God has a when. That whatever I'm going through,
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: I will not always go through it. That sooner or later,
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: God has set a date. And God, oh, you didn't hear.
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: I don't think you heard the power of what I said.
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: God has a wind. He's not making this up as
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: he goes. He's not just contemplating. He's not just figuring out.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: He's not just responding to your moves, your attitudes. and
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: the attacks of the enemy and the things your friends
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: say about you. God is not making it up as
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: he goes. You are not at the mercy of your detractors,
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: your critics, your haters. You are only at the mercy
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: of the timing of God. And God knows when. From
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: the book of Job, the oldest book of the Bible.
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: Job says to us, the Lord knows the way that
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: I take. And when he has tried me, I shall
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: come forth as pure gold. I might not come forth today.
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: I might not come forth tomorrow. I may not even
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: come forth next week or next month. But when he
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: has tried me, I shall, not I might, not I hope,
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: not I wish, I shall come forth as pure gold.
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: I know how the story ends. I will not burn
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: in the purification of the fires that separate the dross
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: from me forever. I just don't know how long I
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: have to be in the fire to get all the
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: things out of me for me to be pure gold.
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: But I know when it's over. I shall come forth
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: as pure gold and every contaminant that would contaminate my
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: worth of value will have burned off in the process
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: but not me gold don't burn baby dross burns gold
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: doesn't burn it may melt it may become softened but
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: it will never burn because it's gold So if God
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: allows me, Job says, to put me in the fire
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: for a while, he's only trying to burn off those
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: things that would weaken my value and I shall come
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: forth as pure gold. Now I know Job is not
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: the first book in the chronological order of your Bible,
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: but it is the oldest book in the Bible. And
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: from the book of Job to the last writings in
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: the book of Revelations, there's a consistency of understanding. Take
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: a minute and look at Revelations 2, 8 through 11.
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: And the Bible says, and the angel of the church
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: in Smyrna, unto the angel of the church in Smyrna
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: write these things, saith the first and the last which
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: was dead and is alive. I know that works. And
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: tribulation and poverty. But thou art rich, and I know
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: are not, but are of the synagogue of Satan. Fear
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: none of those things which thou shalt suffer. Oh, I'm
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: going to say that again. Fear none of those things
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: which thou shalt suffer. Behold, the devil shall cast some
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: of you into prison, that ye may be tried, and
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: ye shall have tribulation. This is what I love. Ye
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: shall have tribulation ten days. Be thou faithful unto death.
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: It's the 10 days that gets me happy. Maybe the
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: 10 days doesn't get you happy, but the 10 days
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: gets me happy. It's good to know that before I
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: get in it, God has already given me a schedule
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: to come out. Somebody, I don't know who I'm talking to,
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: but you're on your ninth day. God is speaking to us,
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: fear none of those things without shall suffer. Behold, the
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: devil shall cast you into prison, but you're going to
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: be all right. You should be tried, but you're going
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: to survive. You're going to have tribulation, but I put
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: it on a calendar. I got a timer on it.
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: Be thou faithful unto death, and I will give you
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: the crown of life. So from the first book of
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: the Bible to the last book of the Bible, we
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: see the same thing being said. The final words in
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: Revelation declare, He that hath an ear, let him hear.
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: What the Spirit saith unto the church, he that overcometh
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: shall not be hurt of the second death. This is
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: important for us to understand that from the very beginning
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: to the last, God has a watch. God has a
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: watch and a timer is on it and it's already set.
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: Solomon declares in Ecclesiastes, to everything there is a season
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: and a time to every purpose under heaven. Nothing is
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: running chaotically. Everything is on schedule. Everything is on schedule.
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: I said nothing is chaotic. Everything is on schedule. You
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: ought to write that down. Everything is on schedule. I'm
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: right where I'm supposed to be, when I'm supposed to be,
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: going through what I'm supposed to go through, at the
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: time I'm supposed to go through it. Because God has
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: a time and a season for every purpose under heaven.
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: It's not enough. I want to know my purpose, pastor.
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: I don't know my purpose. Please pray for me that
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: the Lord will show you your purpose. Don't worry about
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: your purpose. Worry about your seasons. Because when you get
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: in your season, your purpose will be clear. And wherever
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: there is purpose, there's going to be timing. And wherever
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: there's a timing, there will always be a when. Somebody
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: just type when, when, when, when, when, when. God knows when.
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: God knows when. God knows how. God knows what. When
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: the Lord turned again our captivity When we left off
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: last week, we were weeping. We had hung our harps
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: by the willow trees. And we had wept when we
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: remembered Zion. And we learned how to live off of memories.
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: We were sustainable because we could remember days that were
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: not this tough. I was talking to my wife the
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: other day, and I told her, I said, just late
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: at night, I said, I'm at Camp Running Water. She said,
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: what are you talking about? I said, I'm at Camp
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: Running Water. She said, what do you mean? I said,
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: I'm seven years old. I'm at Camp Running Water. And
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: you think I'm here in Dallas, but I'm at Camp
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: Running Water because I was thinking about where I came from.
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: I know how to live off of memories. And all
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: they had as they were drunk, shackled and chained, bleeding
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: and ostracized and carried down, down from sweet Jerusalem. Oh, Jerusalem, Jerusalem, Jerusalem,
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: the city of Salem, peace. They had left the city
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: of peace and gone into the plague of adversity. And
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: not only did they leave, they did not leave up
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: under their own auspices or on their own accord. but
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: they were drug and chained by the Babylonians into captivity.
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: Last glances looking back, they promised Jerusalem, if I forget thee,
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth.
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: There ought to be some things that you refuse to forget.
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: And when they came down near the river of Euphrates,
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: and there they saw the willow trees, and they hung
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: their harps, on the willow trees, and they wept. Jesus wept.
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: All of us weep. There are times you go through
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: a season of mourning, a season of struggle. To be transparent,
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: I've gone through seasons of weeping. Not a few minutes
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: or an hour, seasons of weeping. Seasons of weeping. I
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: can remember coming into the hospital room with my wife
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: going up on the elevator to see her mother who
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: was in the hospital. And her mother expired. And with
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: my own two hands I closed mother's eyes. And I
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: watched my wife turn into a ghost and the room
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: was filled with agony. And as our hearts were wracked
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: with pain. We could not believe that somebody so strong,
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: so vibrant, so tough, so full of life, so powerful.
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: My mother-in-law was the kind of woman you either liked
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: or you didn't and she didn't care which one you chose.
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: How could she be gone? It was the first time
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: that death had circled in in recent years so close
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: and touched somebody that was a part of our lives.
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: And my wife was devastated. And you know, if you
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: know anything about losing anybody close to you, that's not
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: the kind of thing you shake off in a week
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: or a month. You don't shake that off in three months.
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: That devastation continued and continued and continued. And I had
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: to preach with it. We had to go to church
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: with it. And we had cameras in our face with it.
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: And just when it was starting to ease up a
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: little bit, my mother took sick. And got worse and
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: worse and worse. And died with us holding on to her.
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: Gasped her last breath. She was gone. And I wondered
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: how in the world could I be anointed and used
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: of you. And seeing people heal in my services. And
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: you not heal my mother. I remember preaching in this
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: very church. Going to the hospital wet. And laying my
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: body on top of hers. And praying for her. And
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: she still died. Thank you. my best friend in the
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: world we were closer than two peas in a tiny
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: pod she died before I could get over my mother-in-law
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: my mother died and then my daughter came in the
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: room and And told me she was pregnant. And it
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: was a season. Of weeping. Have you ever. Gone through
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: a season. Of weeping. That before you could get out
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: of this. Here comes something else. And your heart is overwhelmed.
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: And you smile in front of people as best you can.
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: But you go home. Please please let me go home.
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: So I can go back to being real. Because I'm
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: tired of faking a smile. And I only told you
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: I was doing okay because I knew it wasn't nothing
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: you could do about it anyway. And let me go
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: back to my weeping. And we wept. When we left
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: off last week, the children of Israel were in a
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: season of weeping and bleeding and suffering. And they'd hung
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: their hearts out. By the willow trees. And they wept.
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: They asked them to sing. How can you sing the
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: Lord's song in a strange land? And people honestly want
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: you to perform like you haven't been through what you've
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: been through. But there is a degree of pain that
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: comes so strong that you have to shut down everything.
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: There is some discomfort you can still function through. But
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: there is a level of sorrow that is so grotesque
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: and so obvious and so profound and so demonstrative that
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: it will shut you down. How can we sing the
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: Lord's song in a strange land? They hung their hearts
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: by the willow trees. And all we could hear was nothing,
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: nothing but weeping. There is a cry that engulfs the soul,
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: that wounds the spirit, that takes you to a place
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: where you wonder, will I ever die? Y'all don't know
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: what I'm talking about. I wish I could talk to
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: somebody who was real with me. Because I get sick
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: of church folks sometimes. Sometimes they'll catch you in your
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: grief and in your season of pain. And they're in
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: their season of progress. And they'll look at a child,
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: if you just believe God, everything will be alright. If
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: you just walk in faith and claim, shut up! You're
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: in spring, I'm in the winter, shut up! You don't
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: have no coat on because it's not cold on your
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: side of the world. But over here, we're in the
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: season of weeping. And they wept a long time. And
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: they wept a long time. And I had to come
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: back and preach this part of it to let you
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: know that there is a time.
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: After you've been confused a while,
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: after you've been in anguish a while, after you've been
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: tormented a while, there is a when, when, when. There
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: is a time my brothers and sisters that God just
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: says enough. I don't know who I'm preaching to today
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: but the Holy Ghost said enough. I don't know who
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: this message is for, but God said enough. You've been
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: in a season of hell and high water, but the
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: Spirit just said enough is enough. You're coming into a win,
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: and you're coming into a release, and you're coming into
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: a breakthrough. If you think that I might be preaching
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: to you, give him a crazy praise right now. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: Type it. That's for me. That's for me. That's for me.
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: I claim it for mine. I reach up and grab it.
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: God just said enough. When God said enough, I checked
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: it on my watch and I saw that God had
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: a time. To bring me out of my weeping. God
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: has a time already set aside. Didn't you hear the
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: bell ring? Did you not hear that alarm go off?
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: Did you not hear that weeping may endure for a
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: night but joy comes bing in the morning? Do you
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: not know that God has a wind God had a
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: point in their suffering in Babylonian captivity that God said,
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: that's enough. I'll let you be drug out of your
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: own land. I'll let you be drug down and shackled
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: like animals. I'll let your men be castrated and your
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: women be raped. And I'll let you weep by the
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: willow trees. And I did nothing to stop it, but
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: I did keep my eye on the watch. And when
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: the Lord turned again our captivity. The writer here when
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: he writes about the Lord turning our captivity. He does
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: not have access to all the things that God had
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: to do to turn their captivity around. The fall of
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: Babylon denotes the end of the Neo-Babylonian Empire. After it
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: was conquered. By the Archimedean empire. It was conquered. Wait, wait,
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: I want you to see this. The people who conquered
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: Jerusalem got conquered. See, the Archimedeans were Persians. Persians. They
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: were nomadic Persians that after 70 years of Babylonian captivity,
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: they came in and conquered the conquerors. Ha ha. See,
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: sometimes God's got you on hold because he's getting another
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: group ready to come in and deal with your enemies.
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: God has a way of getting justice out of the
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: chaos in your life. And the Babylonians were sitting around
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: bragging and poking fun and telling them to sing and
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: dance for us. And while they were playing with them,
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: God was raising up the Persians. To overthrow the empire
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: in 539 B.C. God said, enough. And all of a
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: sudden everything began to change. And God used a young
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: man who was the son of a princess to come in.
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: The young man was Labashah Marbuck. And he comes in
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: and God uses him to wreak havoc. And the Babylonians
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: who thought they couldn't be brought down, got brought down. Listen, America.
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: Be very careful. The Babylonian Empire came down. The Roman
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: Empire came down. The Kushite Empire came down. Don't you
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: get high-minded and think that we cannot come down. We've
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: got to be careful what we let go on and
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: what we let happen in this country because it is possible.
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: History teaches us that kingdoms fall. Amen. Nations fall. Empires crush.
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: The Babylonians thought they couldn't be taken. They thought they
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: were bad. But the peasants came up. And they brought
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: the whole empire down. Babylon, not Babylon. Babylon's name goes
• 28:42
  Speaker 1: back to the Tower of Babel. But God still brought
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: them down. Not Babylon. Babylon comes out of the Old Testament. Mesopotamia,
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: the new word we would have would be alright. Not them,
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: but God brought them down. God can bring you down.
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: He can shut it down. That's why you got to
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: live with a certain amount of humility. I don't care
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: how many skyscrapers you build, how many jets you own,
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: how strong your technology. God don't care nothing about none
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: of that. When God gets ready to shut you down,
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: he shut down the whole world with a vacuum. we
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: can't even see. And not one atomic bomb did anybody
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: any good. Not one supersonic jet did anybody any good.
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: Not IBM, not Xerox, not Google, not nobody could do
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: anything about it. God used something we never even thought of.
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: A bug from a bird shut down the planet. You
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: don't know what God's going to fight with, but I
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: declare God's going to get you out of this. Oh,
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: you didn't hear what I said. I feel like dancing
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: right where I stand. You don't know who God's going
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: to use, but God's going to get you out of this.
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: He doesn't have to use the deacons and the church
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: mothers and the intercessors and the bishops and the prayer warriors.
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: When God gets ready to use you, he can bring
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: an idolatrous, he can bring a whoremonger. God has a
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: way of using stuff that you never even thought about.
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: He'll use the jawbone of an ass. He'll lose two
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: fish and five loaves. When God says enough, He'll use
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: whatever he wants to use. He'll use anybody he wants
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: to use. He'll touch anybody he wants to touch. He'll
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: use a harlot like Rahab. When God says enough, he'll
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: let a nation that you should be able to beat,
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: beat you. He'll let Ai conquer you even after you
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: conquer Canaan. When God gets ready to bring you out,
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: he'll use anything. And all of a sudden he began
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: to turn everything around. Babylon was some place that they
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: thought would never be destroyed. Babylon was strong and fierce.
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: Babylon was posted by the rivers of the Euphrates. It
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: started out as a small port. It grew into a
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: great empire. They were ruling and conquering and taking over.
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: But they messed around and they took God's children down
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: into bondage. And when God got sick of it, he
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: brought it to an end and he stopped it. And
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: Babylon is reaping what they sowed. Threaten out thyself. over
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: evildoers and how they prosper in their own way. Sooner
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: or later, God will cause them to reap what they sowed.
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: You might be outnumbered. They may have more money. They
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: may have more contacts. But when God gets ready to
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: bring you out, he will bring you out. I don't
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: know who I'm preaching to, but I feel like I'm
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: talking to somebody. If I'm talking to you, just type win, win, win. Win, win, win. Win, win, win, win.
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: When the Lord turned again our captivity, we were like
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: them that dream. In one moment, the weeping turned to laughter.
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: Then was our mouth filled with laughter. And our tongue
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: was singing. The very people who were hanging their hearts
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: by the willow trees and weeping when they remembered Zion
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: are now giggling and laughing because God has a win.
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: I am telling all of you that are suffering and
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: all of you that are in agony and all of
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: you that are secretly suicidal and all of you that
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: are depressed, don't get too used to being depressed. Don't
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: get too used to being down because God owns a win.
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: And when God says win, he will bring it to
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: an end. And the same lips that quivered with tears
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: and the same face that cried itself to sleep and
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: the same person who rolled over and over in agony
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: and couldn't rest at night, God will make you burst
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: out and start laughing. When the Lord turned again our captivity,
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: it was like a dream. These people hadn't been free
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: in so long that free didn't seem normal. Have you
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: ever been denied something so long that you got used
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: to not having it? Have you ever been alone so
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: long that you stopped being lonely? Have you ever been
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: in a crisis so long that it became your norm?
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: When the Lord turned again our captivity it was like
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: a dream. And the Holy Spirit told me to tell you,
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: you're going to dream again. When I get through bringing
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: you out, you're going to be scared to believe it.
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: It's going to seem like it's somebody else. When I
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: open up a door for you, it's going to blow
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: your mind. When I set you free, you're going to say,
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: is that me? I don't know what to think about it.
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: Is this my house? Could this be my job? Could
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: this be my husband? Is that my wife? You mean
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: you would do that for me? God said I'm going
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: to bless you. So you will have to pinch yourself. Oh,
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: get ready to pinch yourself. God said, I'll blow your mind.
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: I'll cause you to prosper. The contracts will close. The
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: property will sell. The door will open. The mountain will move.
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: The yoke will be broken. The enemy defeated. When the
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: Lord turned again. Amen. when he turned when he turned
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: God got to turn and he did something in heaven
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: and it hit the earth realm he did something in
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: heaven and God raised up somebody who didn't even know
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: me to deliver me when the Lord turned again our
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: captivity we were like them that dream it was hard
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: to believe then was our mouth filled with laughter and
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: our tongue was singing I want somebody to just start
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: laughing right now I want you to practice your laugh.
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: I want you to practice your laugh. I want you
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: to practice your laugh. It's not going to seem like
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: a laugh right now. But I want you to start
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: practicing your laugh. Because God said, I'm going to make
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: you laugh again. You're going to get right up in
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: the devil's face and laugh. You're going to get right
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: up in the face of the Babylonians and go to laughing.
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: You thought I'd never laugh again? Check this out. Check
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: this out. Check this out. Check this out. Leukemia. COVID.
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: You thought you had me. I'd like to die, but
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: God said, I'm going to fill your mouth with laughter
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: and your tongue with singing. And all of a sudden,
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: I am going to bless you so good that even
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: the unbelievers are going to say the Lord have done
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: great things for them. I'm going to bless you so
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: good that you're not going to be able to hide it.
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: I'm going to bless you so good that unbelievers are
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: going to be standing there with their mouth hanging open
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: in shock. The Bible said the heathen said the Lord
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: have done great things for them. And they agreed with
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: the heathen and said the Lord have done great things
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: for us. Whereof we are glad. I pray a spirit
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: of gladness.
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: spirit of mourning.
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: I pray a spirit of gladness would break out right now.
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: Somebody's going to start laughing in the Holy Ghost. You
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: started out crying, but you're going to end up laughing.
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: God's going to give you a belly laughter, a laughter
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: down in your spirit and down in your soul. Open
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: your mouth and make a joyful noise. Open your mouth
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: and make a joyful noise. Open your mouth and make
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: a joyful noise. Make a joyful noise. Make a joy
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: for the Lord. Make a joy for the Lord. Make
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: a joy for the Lord.
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: Do not joy is how we draw waters from
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: the wells of salvation? Why did you let the devil
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: have your joy? It's time to reach in there and
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: get your joy back. Reach in there and get your
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: smile back. Reach in there and get your peace back.
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: Reach in there and get your power back. Reach in
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: there and get your happy place back. Then with our
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: mouth filled with laughter and the tongue was singing, he
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: Because suddenly I got to see it. The Lord. I
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: saw the end of my suffering. I saw the end
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: of it. You're going to see the end of it.
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: You're going to see the end of it. It's a
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: tough period right now, but you're going to see the
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: end of it. all of those things I listed that
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: I suffered, I live to see the end of it.
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: I live to see it turn around. I live to
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: see it come out. Weeping may endure for a night,
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: but joy comes in the morning. You're going through a season,
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: but if you hold on, you're going to see the
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: end of it. The Lord has done great things for us.
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: Have you thought about that lately? Have you ever had
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: to remind yourself how blessed you were That the Lord
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: has done great things for us. You know it's the
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: enemy's job to always show you the negative. But you
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: got to count up the positive and say, you know what?
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: It's not as bad as I think it is. The
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: Lord has done great things for us. And I'm going
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: to go ahead and be glad. I give you permission
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: to be glad. I give you permission to have joy.
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: I give you permission to get your smile back. I
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: give you permission to get your praise back. I give
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: you permission. Some of you have not had permission. You've
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: been locked up. You've been shackled down. You've been bound.
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: You've been held captive by a spirit of defeatism. But
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: I break you loose and I give you permission right now.
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: I break every bond of your spirit. Well, We are glad.
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: We are glad. Turn again our captivity as you're near
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: the streams in the south. Turn it absolutely around until
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: I look schizophrenic. Turn it around until they think I've
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: lost my mind. Turn it around until the last time
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: you saw me, I was laying down crying like this.
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: And you thought I would never get by. And when
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: you come back in the door, I'm laughing and dancing
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: and shouting and praying. God will turn it around. He
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: turned our captivity around. And then the writer says, You
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: can't handle it. The writer reveals that the tears were
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: never tears at all. It was how God irrigated the
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: seeds I sowed. That not one tear was wasted. For
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: every tear I shared, I watered a promise. And they
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: that sow in tears shall reap in joy. Now to
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: all of you that I'm preaching to who have not
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: gone through any dark places, this is not your Sunday.
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: You can go ahead and log off. Because this Sunday,
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: I'm talking to people who have been to hell and back.
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: I'm talking to people who have dealt with things they
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: could say nothing about. I'm talking to people who have
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: grown within themselves. And I'm telling you it was not
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: without cause. They that sow in tears shall, shall, shall,
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: shall reap in joy. I tell you it's going to
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: be schizophrenia. You're going to be sowing in tears and
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: reaping in joy. You're going to sow it in suffering.
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: You're going to reap it in dancing. You're going to
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: sow it in pain. You're going to reap it in purpose.
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: You're going to sow it in agony. You're going to
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: reap it in power. God is getting ready to bring
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: us into the fruition. And you know how I know?
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: Because all hell is breaking loose. That's how I know it.
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: Because things that you've never seen before are starting to happen.
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: Because we are seeing devils being loosed out of the
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: pits of hell to come against us right now. The
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: devil wouldn't be fighting us if there weren't something on
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: the other side of this. And I don't know what
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: you're going to do about it, but I'm going to
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: hold on. I'm going to hold on. It's tough, but
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: I'm going to hold on. I'm tired, but I'm going
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: to hold on. I get frustrated, but I'm going to
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: hold on. I groan, but I'm going to hold on.
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: I cry, but I'm going to hold on. God wouldn't
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: be like this happened if there wasn't something on the
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: other side of this that was so strong that hell
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: is nervous and demons are trembling and Satan has opened
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: up the windows of hell and he sent out all
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: kinds of demons to try to discourage us. But I'm
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: going to stand. I'm going to stand until I see
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: a return on every teardrop. Until I see a return
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: on every night I stayed awake. Until I see a
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: return on every night I felt alienated and alone. They
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: that sow in tears shall reap in joy. And then
• 43:37
  Speaker 1: he says, he that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed,
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: shall doubtless, that's the word, He didn't say you might
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: come forth with rejoicing. He said you will doubtless come
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: again with rejoicing. Look at this. You're left bleeding. You're
• 44:03
  Speaker 1: left weeping. You're left suffering. He said, but when you
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: come back, when you come back, you will be bringing
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: your sheaves with you. Press down. Shaking together and running over.
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: They came back better than they left. And I want
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: to share with you, when God says when, there is
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: a place that God just speaks a word and he
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: just turns it all around. I don't know whether it's
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: going to be Thursday or Wednesday. I don't know whether
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: it's going to be Friday or next Monday. I don't
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: know whether it's going to be March or July. God
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: knows when. All I know is I'm waiting on my when.
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: I'm waiting on my when. And when the Lord turns again,
• 45:02
  Speaker 1: my captivity, I am not going to sit there like
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: some of you high-minded, fanciful, sadiddy, self-righteous people and act
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: like I have not been waiting on this. I am
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: going to praise him like an imbecile. I am going
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: to praise him like an idiot. I am going to
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: dance like I lost my mind. I am going to
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: take my glasses off and shake my head like I'm
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: in a rock band. I'm going to walk the floor
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: and dance and praise the Lord. I am going to
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: be a fool for the Lord. Because anybody who's been
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: through what I've been through, I earned the right to
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: make some noise. I am going to get on your nerves.
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: I am going to shout the shout of victory. I
• 45:48
  Speaker 1: am going to lift my voice like a trumpet. I
• 45:51
  Speaker 1: am going to shout unto God. I earned the right
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: to praise him. I earned the right to laugh all
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: you want to. But until you cried like me. You
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: can't shout like me. Until you suffer like me. You
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: can't rejoice like me. Until you've grown like me. You
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: can't dance a victory like me. Type it right now.
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: I earn this praise. I earned this praise. You can
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: roll your eyes all you want to. You can talk
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: about me if you will. You can send a text out.
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: You can write a blog. But I earned this praise.
• 46:33
  Speaker 1: I earned this blessing. I earned this car. I earned
• 46:36
  Speaker 1: this house. I earned this smile. I earned this life.
• 46:40
  Speaker 1: I earned it. I earned it. I earned it. Because
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: I was faithful when I was hurting. And because I
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: held on when I was bleeding. I ain't going to
• 46:49
  Speaker 1: let nobody talk me out of my praise. No. No. No. No.
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: Hell no. When God says win. Win. And now I'm
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: not going to rejoice because I'm afraid of getting on
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: your nerves. I want to get on your nerves. I
• 47:12
  Speaker 1: fully plan to get on your nerves. Because God has
• 47:21
  Speaker 1: a win for me. He has a win. He has
• 47:25
  Speaker 1: a win that's got my name on it. He has
• 47:28
  Speaker 1: a win that's already established. And I want every devil
• 47:33
  Speaker 1: to know, you can't keep me in captivity. Do whatever
• 47:39
  Speaker 1: you got to do. But you can't keep me in captivity.
• 47:45
  Speaker 1: Not when God has a win. It might not come
• 47:49
  Speaker 1: when I wanted it. It might not come when I
• 47:52
  Speaker 1: thought it was fair and when it was right. And
• 47:55
  Speaker 1: it might not happen when I thought I deserved it.
• 48:00
  Speaker 1: But God knows when. God knows when. God knows when.
• 48:13
  Speaker 1: So having done all the standing, I'm going to stand
• 48:16
  Speaker 1: here with my loins curled about with truth. You know
• 48:20
  Speaker 1: where I'm going to stand? Because God knows when. As
• 48:30
  Speaker 1: I come to the close of this message, I want
• 48:36
  Speaker 1: to remind you that God knows when. Though the storms
• 48:45
  Speaker 1: are raging and the wind is blowing, God knows when.
• 48:50
  Speaker 1: And you think you can't take it anymore? God knows when.
• 48:56
  Speaker 1: So all you got to do in the meantime is stand. Just.
• 49:11
  Speaker 1: You don't need the answer. Just stand. Stand. Stand. Don't
• 49:21
  Speaker 1: you give up now. Don't you give up. What do
• 49:29
  Speaker 1: you give? When you've given your all and it seems
• 49:46
  Speaker 1: like it's never enough. You just stand when there's nothing
• 49:55
  Speaker 1: left to do. You just stand. Watch the Lord see
• 50:01
  Speaker 1: you through. Yes, after you've done all you can. After
• 50:07
  Speaker 1: you've done all you can. You just stand. You ought
• 50:14
  Speaker 1: to tell them. You ought to tell them because some
• 50:17
  Speaker 1: folk don't believe it. And they're ready to give up.
• 50:20
  Speaker 1: But listen. How do you handle the guilt of your past?
• 50:27
  Speaker 1: Tell me how do you deal with the shame? And
• 50:33
  Speaker 1: how can you smile while your heart has been broken
• 50:38
  Speaker 1: and broken? Tell them, tell them, tell them. When you've
• 50:47
  Speaker 1: done all you can. And it seems like you can't
• 50:53
  Speaker 1: make it through. Don't you give up now. You just
• 50:57
  Speaker 1: stand when there's nothing left to do. You find a
• 51:03
  Speaker 1: way to stand. That's all you got to do. That's
• 51:07
  Speaker 1: your homework. Yes, sir. Tell him, tell him, tell him,
• 51:13
  Speaker 1: tell him. You just stand. You say, I don't know
• 51:23
  Speaker 1: what to do. I'm telling you, I'm telling you, you
• 51:25
  Speaker 1: just stand in the middle of the storm. You stand.
• 51:32
  Speaker 1: I want to pray for somebody who feels like he
• 51:40
  Speaker 1: can't make it. I'm not judging you because I felt
• 51:43
  Speaker 1: like that too. I want to pray for somebody who
• 51:47
  Speaker 1: felt like quitting because I felt that too. I want
• 51:53
  Speaker 1: to pray for somebody who said, where is God now?
• 51:59
  Speaker 1: I said that too. I want to pray for somebody
• 52:04
  Speaker 1: whose faith is in a crisis because she's been through
• 52:08
  Speaker 1: so much pain. You're saying, how could he love me
• 52:11
  Speaker 1: and let me suffer like this? God knows when. God
• 52:19
  Speaker 1: knows how. God knows who. God knows what. I want
• 52:24
  Speaker 1: to pray for you because I know what it's like
• 52:30
  Speaker 1: to have a pain that they don't have a pill for.
• 52:32
  Speaker 1: To have an ache that cannot be anesthetized. I understand
• 52:39
  Speaker 1: what it's like to be in such a complex, confusing
• 52:44
  Speaker 1: situation that you think you're going to die in Babylon,
• 52:48
  Speaker 1: but he's coming to get you. And you're going to
• 52:52
  Speaker 1: come back with your sheaves. And you will get through this.
• 52:59
  Speaker 1: I said you will get through this. You will get
• 53:02
  Speaker 1: through this. You will. You will. You will. Come on,
• 53:10
  Speaker 1: let's pray. Father, in the name of Jesus, I thank
• 53:15
  Speaker 1: you for your power. Strengthen the feeble need and lift
• 53:20
  Speaker 1: up the bowed down head. Give courage to the person
• 53:25
  Speaker 1: that's about to faint. Pouring the oil and the wine
• 53:29
  Speaker 1: on the wounds that we have that ache late at
• 53:32
  Speaker 1: night in our souls. And we feel like we messed
• 53:35
  Speaker 1: up so bad and we lost so much time. Is
• 53:37
  Speaker 1: there anything salvageable at all? They were in captivity 70 years.
• 53:45
  Speaker 1: That's a long time. But when the Lord turned again
• 53:51
  Speaker 1: their captivity, it was like a dream. Your win is coming.
• 53:58
  Speaker 1: I pray for you right now in the name of
• 54:00
  Speaker 1: Jesus that you won't bow and you won't break. That
• 54:07
  Speaker 1: you'll stand firm on the gospel of God. When everything's
• 54:14
  Speaker 1: said and everything's done and all the haters have hated
• 54:20
  Speaker 1: and the spectators have spectated that you'll stand up and
• 54:27
  Speaker 1: start laughing And tell hell I'm back. I'm back. I
• 54:34
  Speaker 1: went away for a while, but I'm back. I got
• 54:37
  Speaker 1: my grip back. I got my faith back. I got
• 54:43
  Speaker 1: myself back. Because I discovered that God knows when. If
• 54:53
  Speaker 1: this is your word, if God spoke to you today
• 54:56
  Speaker 1: and you need special prayer, there's information on the screen
• 55:00
  Speaker 1: to continue the ministry that you need so that you
• 55:02
  Speaker 1: can walk into the abundance that God has for you.
• 55:06
  Speaker 1: Our prayer warriors are designated and anointed to help you
• 55:09
  Speaker 1: get the breakthrough over the specificity of the things that
• 55:12
  Speaker 1: you are agonizing about right now. If this is your
• 55:16
  Speaker 1: word and it spoke to you and it loosed your
• 55:18
  Speaker 1: creativity and your innovation and you're ready to dream again
• 55:22
  Speaker 1: and build again and birth again and start a business
• 55:26
  Speaker 1: and write a book and open up a company and
• 55:28
  Speaker 1: all of a sudden you feel motivated again. Sow into
• 55:31
  Speaker 1: this word. That's my word. I'm going to sow into it.
• 55:37
  Speaker 1: I'm going to own it. I don't care what nobody
• 55:41
  Speaker 1: else does. That was my word. I sow it to
• 55:47
  Speaker 1: it and you laugh right now but when I come
• 55:52
  Speaker 1: back bringing my sheaves you'll see who's laughing yeah you've
• 55:59
  Speaker 1: been saying that for years I don't care how long
• 56:01
  Speaker 1: I've been saying it God knows when and it will
• 56:09
  Speaker 1: come to pass this Sunday morning I bless you I
• 56:16
  Speaker 1: bless your feet to stand. I bless your ankles to
• 56:19
  Speaker 1: be firm. I bless your back to be straight and
• 56:24
  Speaker 1: your head to be high. What? Tell them what to do.
• 56:31
  Speaker 1: Tell them what to do. Believe me. He will show
• 56:45
  Speaker 1: up for you. When it's time. He'll reveal himself. He'll
• 56:54
  Speaker 1: show up for you. Right on time. When God says when.
• 57:01
