0:00.0 | Hi, this is Joel in Victoria. Thanks for listening to our podcast and thanks for supporting the ministry. |
0:06.0 | If you enjoyed today's message, why don't you be a blessing and share it with a friend. |
0:10.0 | We appreciate you and pray for God's very best in your life. |
0:14.0 | We'll God bless you. Always a joy to come into your homes. If you're ever in our area, please stop by and be a part of one of our services. I promise you, we'll make you feel right at home. |
0:37.0 | But thanks so much for tuning in and thank you again for coming out today. I like to start with something funny. I heard about this husband and wife. They were celebrating their 60th birthday together. |
0:49.0 | An angel suddenly appeared and said God was going to grant them each one special request. They were so excited. The wife said, my request is that we'd be able to travel all over the world. |
1:02.0 | The poof, when the smoke cleared, she had tickets in her hand. The husband hung his head in shame. He said, my request is that I would be married to a woman 30 years younger than me. |
1:14.0 | And poof, when the smoke cleared, he was 90 years old. |
1:19.0 | Hold up your Bible, say it like you mean it. This is my Bible. I am what it says I am. I have what it says I have. I can do what it says I can do. |
1:29.0 | Today I will be taught the word of God. I boldly confess my mind is alert. My heart is receptive. I will never be the same in Jesus name. God bless you. |
1:41.0 | I want to talk to you today about it's coming together. We all face situations that look like they're never going to work out. |
1:49.0 | Our dream is too big. A medical report is too negative. Our family is so dysfunctional. We don't see how we could ever be restored. |
1:59.0 | And as the months go by, sometimes even years, we don't see anything happening. It's easy to get discouraged and give up on what we're believing for. |
2:09.0 | But just because you don't see anything happening doesn't mean that God is not working. Behind the scenes, he's arranging things in your favor. |
2:20.0 | Lining up the right people, the healing, the promotion, the favor. And if you will stay in faith, at the right time, you will see it come together. |
2:31.0 | What you couldn't make happen on your own, God will make happen for you. Your dream is coming together. Your relationship is coming together. |
2:41.0 | The healing, the promotion, the vindication will all come together. A friend of mine has been in a legal battle for over six years. |
2:49.0 | It's a business dispute. These people were making false accusations against him trying to take his company. He knew he was in the right. |
2:58.0 | He thought it'd take three or four months to clear up. But it's drug on year after year. He's had to fight those thoughts telling him, this is going to ruin your career. |
3:09.0 | It's never going to work out. Bankrupt your business. Make you look bad. He could have been discouraged. Better. Instead, all through the day. |
3:19.0 | Lord, thank you that you're my vindicator. Thank you that you're fighting my battles. He was saying, in effect, thank you that is coming together. |
3:29.0 | One day, unexpectedly, the other side called the judge and admitted that they were making it up. That it was totally false. The case was dismissed. |
