Thank you so much for letting us come into your homes. If you're ever in our area, stop by and be a part of one of our services. I promise you, we'll make you feel right at home.

Thank you so much for tuning in. Thank you again for coming out. I like to start with something funny. I heard about this elderly woman. She came to church one Sunday morning. A friendly usher met her at the back and said, ma'am, where would you like to sit?

She said, I'd like to sit on the very front row. He said, oh, no, ma'am, you don't want to do that. Our pastor is very boring. He'll put you to sleep. Let me see if you're somewhere else. She looked appalled.

She said, sir, do you know who I am? He said, no, ma'am. She said, I am the pastor's mother. He hung his head in embarrassment. Finally looked up and said, ma'am, do you know who I am? She said, no, he said, thank God.

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.

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.

I want to talk to you today about trusting God's timing. In life, we're always waiting for something. Waiting for a dream to come to pass, waiting to meet the right person, waiting for a problem to turn around.

When it's not happening as fast as we would like, it's easy to get frustrated. But you have to realize the moment you prayed, God established a set time to bring the promise to pass.

God has a set time for you to meet the right person. There is a set time for the problem to turn around. A set time for your healing, your promotion, your breakthrough.

It may be tomorrow or next week or five years from now. But when you understand the time has already been set, it takes all the pressure off.

You won't live worried, wondering when this is ever going to happen. You'll relax and enjoy your life. Knowing that the promise has already been scheduled by the creator of the universe.

Some of you have been praying about a situation for a long time and you don't see anything happening. You could easily be discouraged.

But what if God were to pull back the curtain and allow you to see into the future? And you knew that on February 12th, at 233 in the afternoon, you were going to meet the person of your dreams.

You wouldn't be discouraged, you'd be excited. You'd start working out, you'd go buy some new clothes. Why? You know the big day is coming.

Here's where it takes faith. God promises that there are set times in our future, but He doesn't tell us when they will be.

Your set time may be tomorrow morning at 947. You'll get the phone call you've been waiting for. Your set time may be October 25th, two years from now. You'll get a good break and that will thrust you to a new level.

My question is, do you trust God enough to believe that your set times are coming? Are you willing to wait with a good attitude knowing that they're on their way?

Or will you get discouraged and think, I don't know, Joel. I've been trying to break this addiction since high school. Now you've got to get a new perspective. God has a set time for you to break that addiction.
