00:00:00
listen to me very carefully if you
00:00:01
clicked on this video out of sheer
00:00:03
curiosity because it's relevant to your
00:00:06
life I want to encourage you today
00:00:08
because what you've got to understand
00:00:09
about God is that he's not bound by the
00:00:12
standards of the world he's not bound by
00:00:15
what society says oh you got to go to
00:00:16
school for this long and then you got to
00:00:18
get married by this time you got to make
00:00:19
this amount of money by this year and
00:00:22
because there's a structure to this in
00:00:24
terms of what education you have with
00:00:25
what career you have whatever the
00:00:27
situation is for you whether it is time
00:00:30
in a relationship with somebody whether
00:00:31
it's lost time with a relative with your
00:00:34
son and daughter whatever it may be that
00:00:36
you think you have lost time you think
00:00:39
that it was a waste you think that
00:00:40
because you squandered maybe it wasn't
00:00:43
necessarily your fault maybe it was a
00:00:44
fault of somebody else and all of that
00:00:47
time has been squandered you had an
00:00:48
opportunity to make some money during
00:00:50
the holidays maybe you had an
00:00:51
opportunity to get that job when you had
00:00:53
the interview process whatever the case
00:00:56
may be don't ever think that God cannot
00:00:59
make up for lost time because what
00:01:01
you've got to understand about the
00:01:03
workings the plan the sovereignty of God
00:01:05
is that God works on his own time and
00:01:08
it's not bound by anybody else's
00:01:10
relevance relevancy to how they did it
00:01:13
or what the standards are what the Norms
00:01:14
are because God is's going to work it
00:01:16
out for your good and so what you got to
00:01:19
understand is that he values your
00:01:21
relationship with him he values the
00:01:22
perspective the lessons learned the life
00:01:25
experiences the growth the
00:01:26
sanctification the christlikeness you
00:01:28
must have and achieve and whatever the
00:01:31
plan is that he has for you it could
00:01:33
even be a timing of his own sovereignty
00:01:36
he's allowing you to wait just a little
00:01:37
bit longer he's refraining from you
00:01:39
getting into a disaster you know
00:01:41
situation he's allowing you so that when
00:01:43
it matches with somebody else that is
00:01:45
going to enter your life then that is
00:01:46
going to just coincide perfectly for
00:01:48
your future together or whatever it may
00:01:50
be there's never a time for which youve
00:01:53
you think that you've lost it you've
00:01:55
wasted it because God he has it under
00:01:57
control all you've got to do is walk in
00:02:00
line with the word of God you you've
00:02:02
just got to pray surrender your life and
00:02:04
say father Take the Wheel take control
00:02:07
of the car take control of the direction
00:02:09
because when you do that and you lay it
00:02:10
all down before him you lay your burdens
00:02:13
your worries your Sorrows all of the
00:02:15
anxiety your sleepless nights your
00:02:17
thinking everything that you've
00:02:19
experienced that is weighing you down
00:02:22
burdening burdening you if you lay it
00:02:24
down and you say Lord you take it from
00:02:27
me your yoke is easy your burden is
00:02:30
light and this is what I want from you
00:02:32
because I trust you if you do that and
00:02:34
you really think this is not lost time
00:02:37
this is not something that's a waste if
00:02:38
you believe it and you surrender it then
00:02:40
God's going to do big things and in fact
00:02:43
he may accelerate you he may allow it
00:02:45
such that you make up for the lost time
00:02:47
and you get back to where you've got to
00:02:49
be or even higher than that you will
00:02:51
reconcile you will heal you will allow
00:02:53
that person that family that Ministry uh
00:02:56
the money that was lost all of that
00:02:58
stuff can be made right back and you
00:03:00
will be further ahead than other people
00:03:03
you're going to have the reward you're
00:03:04
going to have the recognition you're
00:03:06
going to have certain things come into
00:03:07
your life and not for your glory but for
00:03:09
the glory of God so I want to tell you
00:03:11
today stop boxing God in stop thinking
00:03:15
that God is a small God that he can't do
00:03:17
something to turn it around for his
00:03:19
glory because again he wants to take the
00:03:21
credit he wants to see that wow what I
00:03:24
did in your life as a testimony that was
00:03:26
all God that was God doing his work his
00:03:29
miracle his Wonder his Deliverance all
00:03:31
of that is on him so you've got to
00:03:33
realize you got to get a reality check
00:03:35
and and look at it from the perspective
00:03:38
of what he's doing in your life you
00:03:39
should never have a moment in your life
00:03:42
for which you are worried you you're
00:03:44
doubting you're anxious because the
00:03:46
Bible clearly says do not worry do not
00:03:48
be anxious and that means in all
00:03:50
situations and again we're human it's it
00:03:52
may be tempting for us to do that but
00:03:54
when you get to a state for which even
00:03:56
if you don't like the timing even if you
00:03:58
think you're late you think you or
00:03:59
haven't been married or have achieved a
00:04:02
certain standard by a certain time that
00:04:04
is not on you that is not something you
00:04:05
should be concerned about you've got to
00:04:07
be on a daily basis walking with the
00:04:09
Lord and saying Lord this life is
00:04:11
dedicated to you I'm going to live my
00:04:13
best life today and then tomorrow when I
00:04:15
wake up I'm going to live my best life
00:04:17
for you that day and continue moving
00:04:19
that's not to say you shouldn't plan
00:04:21
that's not to say that you shouldn't
00:04:22
have some kind of vision to achieve a
00:04:24
certain goal do that but as God opens
00:04:27
doors he's going to make up the lost
00:04:29
time he's is going to allow the
00:04:30
abundance to come he's going to allow
00:04:32
certain situations even if it's a
00:04:33
hardship even if it's going through the
00:04:35
fire on something he's going to allow
00:04:38
that to work out for your own good
00:04:39
because he loves you very much you are a
00:04:42
child of God you are sitting here on
00:04:44
this earth born for a reason out of
00:04:46
millions of other people you are in your
00:04:48
situation right now for a reason so
00:04:51
you've got to understand perspective you
00:04:52
got to understand what God is trying to
00:04:54
do in your life even though you don't
00:04:55
see the full picture because he has a
00:04:58
plan for your life don't ever compare
00:05:00
yourself to other standards don't ever
00:05:02
compare yourself to fleshly satanic
00:05:06
perspectives because God has a plan for
00:05:08
your life so I hope you are encouraged
00:05:10
by this think pray and go to him for all
00:05:13
of these things make sure you have the
00:05:14
right perspective love you guys talk you
