What does Joel Osteen say about the power of patient endurance?
Hey, thanks again for being with us today. Always my honor to be able to share God's Word with you and hopefully inspire you and encourage you. If you're enjoying the podcast, I hope you'll share it with a friend, pass it along. Let's inspire some other people as well. But know that we love you. It's going to be a blessed day for you.
Well, God bless you. It's a joy to come into your homes. And 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. I like to start with something funny. And I heard about this young man. He was a huge football fan. He bought two tickets to the Super Bowl months ahead of time, not realizing it was going to be on the same day as his wedding. He paid $2,000 each for the tickets. So he put an ad on Facebook asking if anyone would like to go in his place. He said, it will be at three o'clock at First Baptist Church and her name is Tiffany. 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 the God who goes before you. We all face situations where we don't see a way out. The obstacles look too big. We've had the problem so long. Our dream seems impossible. This is the way the Israelites felt. They were headed toward the promised land. They had all kinds of people coming against them and opposition from every direction. They felt overwhelmed, outnumbered, inadequate. In the natural, they didn't have a chance, but God said to them in Isaiah, I will go before you and level the mountains. I will break down gates of bronze and cut through bars of iron so that you will know I am the Lord, your God, the one who summons you by name.
You may have big obstacles in your path, situations in your health, your finances, a relationship. You don't see how it could work out. The odds are against you, but God is saying to you what he said to them. I'm going to go before you and level those mountains. Whatever's trying to stop you, a mountain of sickness, a mountain of addictions, a mountain of depression, it may look insurmountable to you, but it is no match for our God. One touch of his favor, he'll turn that mountain into level ground. That means you won't even have to climb over it. It's going to be easier than you think. You're not going to have to struggle, work, worry, fight. God's going to smooth it all out. It may be a mountain now.
It may look intimidating, but don't worry. It's about to become level ground. And in the scripture, the words used for God's power in the original language is dunamis. That's where we get our word dynamite. You know what dynamite does.
How does the Super Bowl ticket story illustrate unexpected blessings?
It brings down buildings, clears out anything that's in its path. Those obstacles in your life, those mountains that have been holding you back, I can see right now God putting the dynamite in. He's about to light that fuse. You've been faithful, you've given, you've served. Get ready for some explosions. God's about to level some things. An explosion of good breaks, an explosion of healing, an explosion of freedom. Those obstacles that have held you back are about to be blown away. God says he will level your mountains, not make a tunnel through them, not make a path around them, not even give you the strength to go over them. God is going to do something unprecedented, something out of the ordinary.
The scripture says, so you will know he is the Lord your God. God wants you to know that he is all powerful. He's going to do some things in your life where you have no doubt that was the hand of God. You will not only know, but the people around you are going to know. When God parted the Red Sea and the Israelites went through on dry ground, Pharaoh and all of his men knew that was the Lord their God. When Lazarus was raised from the dead, everywhere he went, people stood in awe of the Lord, his God.
