Built to Last: Becoming Unshakeable Through Every Storm · Wow God

0:00
Hallelujah. I believe that God is in this place today. I feel that he has a word for us today. Amen.
0:08
I don't feel you're here by accident, but by divine appointment.
0:12
And I believe today that this word is for you today.
0:17
Actually, I'm just going to be selfish about it. This word is for me today.
0:23
Come on. Are you with me today? How many know that one word from God can change your whole situation.
0:30
And today I feel that we have that one word today that the Lord has placed upon our hearts.
0:36
And, you know, as we were singing today, that last song was just so powerful
0:42
because what we were singing is scriptural.
0:46
Amen. I always teach for people that want to know how to pray, pray scriptural.
0:53
Amen. Just begin to pray scriptural.
0:57
And today we were experiencing that as we were singing to the Lord today, because,
1:05
in Matthew chapter number six and verse 33, the Bible says, seek first the kingdom of God,
1:14
and his righteousness.
1:17
And then what does he say? everything will be added to you.
1:22
He says this, it says, seek the kingdom of God above all else and live righteously.
1:28
And he will give you everything that you need.
1:34
Even if it's something that you don't even know that you need,
1:36
he's going to, he's going to supply it.
1:39
Miss Anita, that $1,500 to God be the glory that you mentioned.
1:45
He's going to send it in the mail.
1:48
It might be behind another bill, but right behind that other bill is a way to
1:54
pay it off to God be the glory. God will meet every single need.
2:00
And I believe today that God is creating us to be unshakable in the midst of a storm. Amen?
2:11
That's the series of messages I've been preaching on is unshakable.
2:16
If you have not been here to hear these messages, go back on Facebook or go back on our,
2:22
Wow God podcast or our YouTube channel and check those out because I'm telling
2:28
you, they're life-changing messages that I believe will change your life if
2:33
you just begin to embrace it. Amen.
2:36
Hallelujah. So today I want to entitle part four of Unshakeable.
2:43
I want to entitle it built to last.
2:49
Come on, turn to your neighbor and say, you've been built to last.
2:53
You have been built to last. Even when all chaos begins to happen in your life,
3:01
you have been built to last.
3:05
Today, you know, this morning I was preparing for this message and the Holy Spirit came all over me.
3:13
And so I feel this is kind of a prophetic word.
3:19
And I was telling Iris, I said, I think it's for me. And she said, well, then keep it.
3:24
But I also think it's for someone here today. And so if it's all right,
3:30
I'm just going to read this, okay?
3:33
Right before God does something big in your life, things sometimes start to
3:40
feel a little uncomfortable.
3:43
I have noticed that there's usually three seasons that he walks us through.
3:49
The first season is the clearing season, where he clears everything out.
3:57
This is where people start fading away, plans start falling apart,
4:04
and doors that you thought would open suddenly start slamming shut.
4:11
Your first thought is usually, God, what's happening right now?
4:17
Because looking back, he wasn't taking things from you.
4:22
He was making room for what couldn't fit while you're holding on to the old.
4:30
And then the second season, which is the stretching season.
4:36
And honestly, this one feels like it's the hardest one.
4:41
This is where God asked you to trust him when you can't see what he is doing.
4:49
This is where he asks you to forgive people who never apologize to you,
4:56
to keep showing up even when you're tired, to stay faithful when nothing makes sense.
5:06
In this season, it's uncomfortable because faith grows during the stretch,
5:13
not during comfortable times.
5:17
Then the third season. The third season is called the settling season,
5:25
where the peace starts to return.
5:29
Things just start to begin to fall into place.
5:32
You finally understand why doors stay closed.
5:38
If you're in a season where nothing feels stable right now, I come to prophesy
5:45
this to you today. don't panic.
5:48
Don't hit the panic button. God ain't punishing you. All he's doing is preparing you.
5:57
So today, you may be in one of those seasons right now.
6:01
And the Lord's saying today, get ready, because he's about to work behind the
6:06
scenes, doing things that you don't even know.
6:10
Things may be shaken up right now in your life, but the Lord's saying today,
6:15
I have created you to be unshakable.
6:19
Come on, who's with me today? Somebody needs to hear this today.
6:22
He's making you today to be unshakable.
6:26
I feel that Epicenter Church is becoming a church of being unshakable.
6:32
And the only way this place is gonna get shook is when revival breaks out so strong.
6:39
Oh i feel the anointing in this place today
6:42
and i feel that god is about to pour out his spirit in your life today if you
6:48
need a healing or a miracle in your life today today is your day for your breakthrough,
6:55
how why because you was built to last.
7:03
You know, as I see this up here on the screen, and I reflect of what's happening
7:10
this week in our nation, the 250th year for our nation.
7:17
I wasn't going to even mention this, but our nation is an unshakable nation.
7:24
And it's built because of the foundation
7:27
that God has placed inside of our hearts and inside of our lives.
7:32
And I feel that our nation needs the church again.
7:36
Because to survive 250 years and to be able to survive another 250 years,
7:42
we need God in our nation once again. Hallelujah.
7:47
And so today, I want you to see this because the theme of this series is standing
7:53
strong when everything around you is shaking.
7:58
I want to look at the word of God today. I want to look at Nehemiah chapter
8:03
number four and verse number six. If you're a note taker, write that down.
8:07
And then we're going to look at Matthew chapter number 7 and verse 24.
8:12
And today I want you to recognize.
8:18
You was built to last. We was built to last.
8:23
In Nehemiah 4 verse 6, the Bible says, At last, the wall was completed to half
8:32
its height around the entire city,
8:35
for the people had worked with enthusiasm.
8:40
Now I want to jump over to Matthew chapter number 7 and verse number 24 through 27.
8:47
Anyone who listens to my teaching and follows it is wise.
8:53
Like a person who builds a house on solid rock,
8:58
though the rain comes in torrents
9:02
and the floodwaters rise and the wind beat against that house,
9:08
it won't collapse because it is built on bedrock.
9:14
And verse number 26, But anyone who hears my teaching and does not obey it is
9:20
foolish, like a person who builds a house on sand.
9:26
When the rain and flood come and the winds beat against that house,
9:32
it will collapse with a mighty crash.
9:38
Church, you have been built to last.
9:43
See, many things are built quickly, but few things are built to last.
9:52
Things pop up so quick, but they're not built to last. God.
10:01
Is not interested in temporary success. He is interested in establishing lives.
10:09
He's interested in establishing families. He's interested in establishing churches.
10:16
He's interested in establishing ministries that can withstand every storm and
10:23
every attack that the enemy may try to throw at them.
10:29
That's what God is looking for. And that's what he wants to establish.
10:35
I feel he's doing that right here at Epicenter Church. He has built a church to last.
10:43
Hallelujah. Aren't you grateful for that?
10:47
See, the difference between two houses is often invisible.
10:53
One house stands after the storm because of its foundation.
10:59
The other collapses because shortcuts were taken underground.
11:07
Foundations will determine your future.
11:12
Where are you planted at today? How are you praying today?
11:18
You know there's two times to pray when you want to and when you don't.
11:23
The more you pray, the deeper your roots go.
11:28
Even whenever it's a difficult situation in your life, you still need to pray yourself through it.
11:36
You need to pray your way through it. Because what you begin to do is you begin
11:41
to dig deeper and deeper.
11:44
And your roots become deeper.
11:47
And I know we've talked about this. It's like the palm tree.
11:51
When the palm tree is planted, the root system goes deep because as it goes
11:57
deep, it's preparing for the storm ahead of time.
12:01
Somebody today, you need to prepare for the storm ahead of time because what
12:06
happens with that palm tree,
12:10
what you see on the surface is what you would see underground,
12:15
because it's the same height underground as it is on the surface and it's done
12:20
that done like that so that whenever the winds come,
12:26
Even though they look like they're about to blow over, what they begin to do,
12:32
is begin to do what we need to do.
12:36
We need to bow to the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords.
12:39
Because what a palm tree does when the wind comes, it begins to surrender.
12:46
Is anybody getting this today? It begins to surrender to the winds and it begins to bow down.
12:53
Is sometimes we need to begin to surrender to God in the midst of the storm.
12:59
When the winds begin to blow in, we need, we have been built to last.
13:03
And the only way we can be built to last is we got to get rooted in deep soil,
13:09
on the bedrock. Hallelujah.
13:13
On the bedrock.
13:15
Man, I always like I watch Gold Rush.
13:19
I love watching Gold Rush. Man, I even watch the recordings.
13:25
It doesn't matter. I like watching it.
13:27
But one thing I like to hear, because I know they're about to hit a gusher,
13:34
is when they say, We finally hit bedrock.
13:37
We finally hit bedrock. That means there's gold in bedrock.
13:42
I come to tell somebody today, the foundation that your life is on.
13:49
There's gold under the surface. And it's there to keep you there for a long time.
13:55
And the Lord's saying, you have been built to last.
14:00
You know what that means? You've hit bedrock. Your foundation's on bedrock.
14:04
And in that bedrock, there's a gold that's not going to be shaken.
14:09
There's a foundation that's not going to be shaken.
14:13
And it's the power of God in that position that has positioned you there for a reason.
14:21
We have been built to last. Point number one today, strong foundations matter.
14:30
They matter. That bedrock I'm talking about, it matters.
14:35
It matters. I mean, are you going to build your foundation on the sand?
14:40
Are you going to build it on bedrock today?
14:43
That's what our scripture is found in, in Matthew 7 and 24 and 27.
14:49
Anyone who listens to my teachings, Jesus is speaking this.
14:52
He's making it so simple for us to understand. I love how Jesus used the parables
14:58
to teach us, to make everything so easy for us to understand.
15:03
If we want to be built to last, if we want a good foundation,
15:09
why? Because strong foundations matter.
15:12
And Jesus is saying that this foundation, I'm just preparing you.
15:17
If you build your house on sand, it's going to collapse when the wind comes.
15:23
But if you put it on bedrock, there's a shift that will happen.
15:28
It will stand through the storms.
15:31
See, foundations are built before storms even arrive.
15:37
If you haven't had a storm hit you in a while, you need to start building your foundation.
15:45
You need to start back because if it hasn't hit you yet, it's probably right around the corner.
15:50
And you have to be prepared for the storm.
15:54
This last week, we were prepared for some storms. This has been a crazy week
15:59
in June with high winds and 80 mile an hour winds and all that.
16:05
But, man, it's been. But you know what? We've got to be prepared for the storm.
16:13
You got to know where you're going to go when it storms.
16:17
That's why his word says.
16:20
The name of the Lord is a strong tower, and the righteous run into it, and they are safe.
16:31
Can I just speak this today? A church that has a great foundation.
16:36
Come on, I'm speaking to Epicenter today. A church that has a great foundation
16:42
in prayer, in the word, in the teachings.
16:47
One that is one that will withhold the storms of life that come their direction.
16:54
And that's a place where somebody will want to come in.
16:58
When the storms come in their life, the name of the Lord is a strong tower.
17:06
And the righteous run into it. And they are safe. How many know this is a safe haven? Hallelujah.
17:15
Strong foundations matter. Obedience strengthens spiritual foundations.
17:23
And character matters more than appearance. Because God's word provides stability.
17:32
Strong foundations produce lasting faith in our life. Now faith.
17:41
That faith the faith that i was talking about being strong,
17:46
the the word that i spoke earlier whenever whenever we're going through so many
17:50
things when we're going through so many seasons in our life we've got to recognize.
17:58
That there's a clearing in that season. We've got to recognize that there's
18:03
a stretching in that season.
18:05
We've got to recognize that there's a settling in the season.
18:09
And each season is there to prepare us for the storms that may come our direction.
18:19
What stands the longest is usually built the deepest.
18:25
Because the strength of your future depends on the depth of your foundation.
18:31
Those big skyscrapers, Devon Tower, you know how tall they're going to be,
18:39
by how deep they dig the foundation because they dig it deep so that that building will be built to last.
18:51
That's the same way with our spiritual life, church. We have to build ourselves up.
18:58
I can't give you my faith. I can come in agreement with you with my faith,
19:03
but I can't give you my faith because the Bible says each one of us have been
19:09
given the measure of faith.
19:12
We have to have our faith in God. We have to have our strength in God.
19:19
Our faith is determined of how we exercise it. Ooh, there's a big word right there, exercise.
19:26
It's a word that we only want to hear in January because by June, you ain't doing it.
19:33
Exercise. Well, it's not just a physical exercise. It's a spiritual exercise.
19:40
It's an exercise where you're trusting the promises of God, where you grab a
19:45
hold of God's word and begin to trust the promises, begin to pray the promises, begin to pray
19:52
Matthew chapter 6 and verse 33.
19:55
But seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all of these
19:59
things will be added to you as well.
20:02
What is that speaking to you today? That if you seek God first,
20:07
he'll take care of your finances.
20:10
Well, how will he take care of my finances? Well, it's exactly what Anita said, tithe.
20:15
Well, I've got plenty of money. It's okay.
20:19
Everything's going good. You still need a tithe. There's two times a tithe,
20:23
when you want to and when you don't.
20:26
If you want to have testimonies like Scott had a testimony a couple weeks ago,
20:30
where he got to testify his house was paid in full.
20:37
Let me just say it again. Is that okay if I say that again, Scott?
20:40
His house was paid in full.
20:44
To God be the glory.
20:47
See, it didn't happen just overnight. It happened because his foundation of
20:53
his finances, I promise I'm not taking up another offering.
21:00
The foundation of his, you know what he did with his finances? He sought God first.
21:06
You know what that means? He gave the first fruit of his increase to God.
21:11
Is it okay if I share that? Because you was, you're faithful,
21:15
aren't you? You're still faithful, right?
21:22
When you're faithful, even if it's with the little, he will make you ruler over many.
21:27
Because when you take your finances even when you can't do it I mean what Anita
21:33
shared in that story today that guy he couldn't afford it but he did it anyways,
21:42
I said it right there. You can't afford not to. Hallelujah.
21:47
But you set the foundation for things to be paid off.
21:53
Not just a house payment, but I believe a car being paid off. To God be the glory.
21:59
Student loans being paid off.
22:02
In full. Paid in full. Why? Because of the foundation of what God wants to do in your life.
22:11
Credit cards being paid off.
22:13
Have I hit anybody yet?
22:18
I just want you to know when we see God first, it's setting the foundation because,
22:24
strong foundations matter.
22:28
It's not just a financial one, it's a spiritual one.
22:32
It's setting up your future of your family.
22:35
Yeah, you may have bridges that have been destroyed, and you feel like they're
22:40
never going to be mended back together. But God.
22:46
Jill gave me a reminder of that the other day when pigs fly.
22:50
She gave me a pig with wings on it because you know my story on when pigs fly.
22:58
Pigs can fly even when you don't think it's going to happen.
23:02
Get ready. It's going to happen because it's the foundation.
23:06
Strong foundations matter, church.
23:11
They matter today. Point number two, every builder faces opposition.
23:19
That's strong. Every builder faces oppositions.
23:26
Opposition is proof of progress.
23:31
Every worthwhile assignment faces resistance.
23:37
Discouragement is one of the enemy's weapon, and he wants to knock you off track.
23:46
Can I tell you, we have a vision for Epicenter Church.
23:50
We have a vision for Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, not just Oklahoma City,
23:55
Oklahoma, but we have a vision for the world.
24:00
Persistence defeats opposition if you are persistent every single day just by reading the word,
24:10
just by praying that's what i challenge the church to do all the time pray every
24:15
single day read your bible every every time you get every day go to church every
24:22
time the church doors are open,
24:24
if you haven't been to a wednesday night bible study you need to come God's moving,
24:30
all we're trying to do is get back to the basics and I'm telling you this last
24:34
Wednesday night the spirit of God came into place,
24:38
two or three are gathered in my name. He says, I'm right there in the midst.
24:41
And I'm telling you what, he showed up and showed off. Amen.
24:46
For those that were here, found out about dipping a dog.
24:51
You want to know about it? Come Wednesday.
24:55
Hallelujah. I'm telling you, God is moving. We need to come every opportunity
25:00
that we can because God strengthens believers.
25:05
He will strengthen believers see the the,
25:08
the presence of opposition does not mean the absence of God if God called you
25:16
to build it don't quit when resistance begins to come,
25:21
I've always learned this as a minister,
25:24
if you're ever going to resign don't resign on a Monday for all those ministers
25:29
out there they're listening to this don't resign on a Monday because sometimes
25:34
Sunday you come and it's like, God, are you even here?
25:38
But then God begins to move. He will begin to move through it all.
25:42
Point number three, let me move on.
25:45
What God builds will stand.
25:50
What God builds will stand. If God puts it together, I feel that God's putting some things together.
25:58
God's putting some things together
25:59
in people's lives. What God builds when God's hand, when his hand,
26:08
when the potter gets on the potter wheel and he puts his hands on the clay.
26:14
Come on, turn to your neighbor and say, your clay.
26:17
And he begins to add a little water. He begins to add a little spinning to the cycle.
26:24
Things begin to shift. Things begin to happen. See, what God begins to build will stand.
26:31
And when God puts his hands on us and he begins to rub off some rough edges in our life.
26:39
Come on, somebody have some rough edges. Don't tell me what they are.
26:43
You got some rough edges in your life. When the potter begins to touch that
26:48
clay, when the potter begins to stick his hands on you today.
26:54
What he begins to do, he begins to mold you and begins to shape you into the
26:59
image that he wants you to be.
27:01
See, what God builds, it will stand. And so when he puts his hands,
27:07
come on, somebody needs to tell God, God, put your hands on me.
27:12
We need God to put his hands on us today.
27:16
And when he puts his hands, I pray, God, put your hands on Epicenter.
27:21
Because it's not my church. It's your church.
27:25
To God be the glory. You've just given us the burden. You've just given us the vision.
27:30
And the Lord's saying today, he's molding us. He's shaping us into the image that he wants us to be.
27:38
What God builds will stand. In Psalms 127, verse 1, unless the Lord builds a
27:45
house, the work of the builders is wasted.
27:50
Unless the Lord protects a city, guarding it with centrist will do no good.
27:57
See, God blesses what he authors.
28:02
When he speaks it, things begin to happen.
28:06
He begins to mold it. He begins to...
28:09
What I love about God is he looks at all the details.
28:13
He shapes us and molds us. You know, being on the potter's wheel, it hurts sometimes.
28:22
But the Lord's saying today, I'm about to refine you.
28:26
You know what that means? He's about to intensify the heat so that he can purify
28:32
you, so that he can complete you.
28:35
Come on, somebody's in that season right now. You may feel like you're in the
28:39
fire, but just know God is purifying you today in the fire.
28:47
And what that does is that brings a completion to the pot.
28:52
You that's sinking in today.
28:56
He's purifying us. Less than sharing, he's purifying you.
29:00
Even though it's rough and it's a battle, the Lord's saying,
29:04
just keep persevering because you're on the foundation.
29:09
You're on the right foundation. And the Lord's saying, I'm working it all out.
29:13
I'm working the details out.
29:14
Even when it don't make sense, The Lord's saying, I'm working it all out because
29:21
what God builds, it's going to stand because he's placed it on the inside of you.
29:27
See, some things are not just on the outside. They're right deep down on the inside.
29:33
And the Lord's saying today, I'm creating it. I'm molding it.
29:36
I'm shaping it. Amy, I'm shaping you in the image. Kevin, I'm shaping you in
29:41
the image that he wants you to be.
29:44
He's molding it. Sometimes that spin wheel gets us a little dizzy.
29:51
Feels like a whirlwind's happening. But the Lord just wants you to know he's
29:55
still in control. He's doing that for real.
30:01
He's increasing the speed so he can perfect the vessel. Wow.
30:10
Let me say that again. He's increasing the speed so he can perfect the vessel.
30:17
Tap your neighbor and say, you're the vessel. He's perfecting you today.
30:23
God blesses what he authors.
30:27
Human efforts alone is never enough.
30:32
God's plan endures. God's strength sustains his work.
30:38
His kingdom cannot be shaken.
30:44
When God is the architect, failure is never the final chapter.
30:51
Because what God establishes on earth can withstand the pressure that hell throws at us.
31:03
God wants us to know today that he is in control.
31:09
See, strong foundations matter to God.
31:14
Every builder will face oppositions.
31:19
What God builds will stand.
31:23
And today, I don't know what season of your life you're in right now.
31:28
You may be in the beginning stages.
31:31
You may be all the way in to the level where the walls are going up.
31:36
You may be in the level today where the roof's going on and the windows are coming in.
31:43
The electricians are moving in. The HVAC people are moving in.
31:48
I don't know where you're at in your life right now. You're in that season right now.
31:53
And the Lord's saying, I'm about to bring a perfection because today you're being built on bedrock.
32:01
You're being built today. You're here in church. You're being built on bedrock.
32:07
Sandy, you're being built today on bedrock. And the Lord just wants you to know
32:12
he hasn't forgotten you.
32:14
He hasn't left you, but he's been there the whole time.
32:18
And the Lord's saying, even in the quiet time, it just seems like sometimes, God, are you even here?
32:25
Are you even speaking to me? God, am I even doing the right things?
32:29
The Lord just told me to give you this confirming word. You're right in the
32:33
right place at the right time in the right season.
32:37
And the Lord says, get ready because he is about to move mightily and he's about
32:42
to move quickly, says the Lord.
32:45
Even though right now you can't hear him. It's like you can't even hear him.
32:49
God, are you even speaking? Are you even hearing what I'm putting down?
32:53
But the Lord's saying, I've heard everything.
32:56
Just know that when it's the quiet time is when God's working the most. Wow.
33:05
He's working behind the scenes for you. To God be the glory.
33:09
I feel there's a shift that is happening in this place today.
33:13
Come on. Somebody just lift up your hands. I just feel God is doing something
33:17
right here at Epicenter Church.
33:21
Shadabako sundalabako. Come on. Would you just stand to your feet today? Hallelujah.
33:29
I want to position you today for your breakthrough. I want to position you today
33:35
for your miracle, for a breakout in your life.
33:39
I want to speak to you today. I just feel there's somebody today that needs to hear this word today.
33:46
You have been built to last.
33:51
Even though right now it feels like everything's crumbled in your life the Lord's
33:55
speaking this to you he's saying you've been built to last.
34:08
What feels like a demolition in your life is just a preparation.
34:18
I feel this strong today. What feels like a demolition in your life is just a preparation.
34:25
And the Lord's saying today, I just hear the Lord saying today,
34:31
I'm going to take the rubble.
34:35
Because sometimes rubble doesn't make sense.
34:42
I used to work in the electrical field and I'd come in and the bricklayers would
34:46
come and then they'd bring in a whole bunch of different rocks and they would just throw these rocks.
34:51
They'd be piles of rocks all the way around the house. And I would look at those
34:56
rocks and I'd go, I don't get it.
35:01
I don't get the rubble. Because that's all it looked like. It looked like a bunch of rubble.
35:09
But when the bricklayer got there and began to put the bricks on that house,
35:16
and they put them all in line.
35:18
Now that made sense, but those rocks didn't make sense.
35:22
But what those rocks were was the corners of the house.
35:28
And when that bricklayer, even though the rocks didn't make sense,
35:33
when he began to start putting his mortar,
35:36
in on those rocks and begin to put them on the corners of the house,
35:40
I mean, you stand back and you look at the full picture.
35:43
You're like, wow, that rubble became that.
35:51
Right now, you feel like you've got rubble all around you.
35:58
Somebody about to get set free today. I feel it in the spirit.
36:01
Hallelujah. You feel like you've got rubble all around you, and it don't make
36:06
any sense at all. And you're wondering, why, God?
36:10
You got that question mark. Why, God?
36:13
The Lord's saying, your question mark is about to turn into an exclamation point.
36:18
Because just as that rubble was around that house, just as that rubble that's
36:22
around your feet right now, the Lord's saying, just trust me.
36:27
I'm about to work out the details. I'm about to put the mortar upon these rocks
36:33
and I'm about to put them in place.
36:35
The Lord's saying, I'm putting some things in place right now in your life.
36:39
The Lord's saying, I'm bringing order to your life right now.
36:42
And if you, see the reason so many times you don't understand what's going on
36:48
is because you're too close to the picture.
36:52
You're too close to it. See, whenever I was on that job site and I would look
36:56
at all that stuff, I was too close to it, Timmy.
37:00
I couldn't see the full picture. I couldn't understand what was going on.
37:04
But whenever I came back to the job site, Kevin, and they had all of those rocks
37:09
in the right places, then it made total sense because I stood back and I looked at it.
37:17
The Lord's saying today, today you need to allow God to put the rocks in the right places.
37:32
Let him put the rocks in the right places.
37:37
And when you begin to do that, you'll be able to stand back and look at it and
37:42
go, wow, God, you did know what you was doing.
37:46
I know it was a hardship that I was going through, but you did know what you was doing.
37:53
You do know what you're doing.
37:56
So today I feel there's some people that have some rubble in their life.
38:00
You have some rocks around you right now, and those rocks are rocks of weariness.
38:05
Those rocks are rocks of discouragement today.
38:09
And those rocks are rocks of being under attack from the enemy today.
38:14
Those rocks today are just total rubble, and you don't know how God's going to do it.
38:22
This is what I want to encourage you to do today. Just trust him.
38:27
I'm just going to say my favorite phrase. Trust the process.
38:31
Because he knows what he's doing. Trust the process.
38:36
It's a process. You may be in a tough season right now, but the Lord's saying it's only a season.
38:44
This is for somebody individually. I'm not going to call you out.
38:47
I'm not going to put this upon you, but if this is for you, grab a hold of it.
38:51
Trust the process now because in months ahead, there's a lot of joy coming to you.
39:00
You don't know what you're in.
39:04
It doesn't make sense right now. But trust the process.
39:11
This is for somebody today. I don't know who it is, but the Lord's saying in months from today,
39:19
is going to be great joy that's coming to you from what you're in right now,
39:27
because what you're in right now is just a season.
39:31
And that season is about to come to pass. You know what that means?
39:36
It's about to get behind you and you're about to step into the realm.
39:42
You're about to step into the season of joy.
39:46
Because weeping endureth for the night, but his joy, it cometh in the morning.
39:53
And somebody's joy is about to come back.
39:56
In the name of Jesus.
