again what a tremendous tremendous crowd tremendous tremendous weather tremendous crowd in the 8:00 service I thought i' to be honest with you I thought the crowd's probably going to be down it being the Fourth of July week but goodness gracious I don't know what we'd do with them if it was up amen so I'm just uh we're just so glad that you're here today the Bible tells us in Psalms 1: 1 look what it says blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly nor standeth in the way of Sinners nor Seth in the seat of the scornful but look what he says but his Delight is in the law of the Lord and in his law doeth he meditate day and night he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water that bringeth forth his fruit in his season his Leaf also shall not wither but whatsoever he doeth shall prosper is't that good folks blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly nor standeth in the way of Sinners nor sth in the the see the scornful but his Delight is in the law of the Lord in his law doeth he meditate day and night he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water that bringeth forth his fruit in his season his leavf shall not wither and whatsoever he doeth it shall prosper let's pray Jesus I love you and I'm excited about preaching the unsearchable riches of Jesus Christ anoint us use us May the invitation be fruitful God if I only had 30 minutes to live I'd want to spend that time encouraging somebody so God may I be able to do that today and we pray this prayer in Jesus name until you come we pray amen you may be seated I want to talk to you today about not buried just planted not bu carried just planted the old farmer had a mule and he loved that mule that mule really had become like a part of his family he just loved that that mule deeply but one day that mule was out in the field and it got into a an abandoned whale it literally fell into an abandoned whale and though Farmer's mule his name was Caesar he he just he was in the whale and they tried and they tried and they tried to get Caesar out of the whale but they just couldn't the farmer he he tried and he cried and he tried and he cried but he just couldn't get him out and finally called all of his neighbors and he said I want you to do something I want you to bring your trucks bring it with dirt bring your shovels because what we're going to do as sad as it is we're going to bury Caesar we can't get him out of the well he's going to die so I'm just want to give him a proper burial we're going to bury him there in the well so they did just that they brought the first truckload and they buried those Caesar and it got real quiet the farmer began to cry and then he looked down in the whale and he saw something he saw some ears sticking out and he saw old Caesar started shaking and before long that dirt that was meant to bury Caesar Caesar was standing on top of and so though farmer said to his friends he said let's put another load of dirt on Caesar and they did that they just put another load of dirt on Caesar and lo and behold Caesar rose again and he was standing on the dirt that was meant to bury him that went on till the dirt was flush with the top of the well and lo and behold old Caesar was standing there on top of the world what what's the message Pastor here's the message listen closely this is the message when life buries you shake it off when life buries you shake it off because I want to talk to you about the fact that you've been planted not buried you you've just been planted not buried now look here when you bury something it symbolizes the end of it if you bury it it symbolizes closure it's the end of something but wait when you plant something and I've planted a lot of things in my life I love love to grow a garden but when you plant something it doesn't symbolize the end of it it symbolizes the beginning of it and see folks I think many times we think we we've been buried when we've really just been planted I think many times in our life we think well well well I I've been buried no no no perhaps you've not been buried perhaps you've just been planted and and and and God's got a plan so you got to understand being being buried comes from the devil being buried comes from the devil you say preacher where do you get that well it's in the Bible the thief cometh not why does he come he comes to steal kill and destroy what does the enemy want to do ladies and gentlemen you come up real close the enemy wants to bury you the enemy wants to bury you he's come to steal he's come to kill he's come to destroy but wait why did Jesus come Jesus didn't come to bury you he came to plant you he didn't come to bury you he came to plant you because he came that you might have life and life more abundantly here's what I want you to understand God's plan for you is good God's plan for you is good not because I said that God's plan you said well Pastor it doesn't seem no no God's plan for you is good look what God's word says He said for I know the plans I have for you that that's for you and for you and for you and for you and for you for I know the plans I have for you look plans to prosper you and not to harm you plans to give you a hope and a future and I believe many times we think I've been buried God said no you hadn't been buried you've just been planted that's good you no no you you you you've not been buried you've just been planted now let me give you four four examples of this the first example is Moses and his ministry Moses and his ministry now the Bible says this the the Bible says there came a day when Pharaoh was killing all the babies 2 years and under look here the devil has always tried to annihilate the Jewish people he's always tried to annihilate the Jewish people and and and it happened then he said let let let's kill the babies two years and under but you know the story Pharaoh's daughter finds Moses in the bull rushes and she raises him and he's raised in the palace and he lives in the Egyptian Palace until he's 40 years of age and when he's 40 years of age he he starts looking around and he sees how the Egyptians are mistreating the Jewish people they've made slaves out of them they're mistreating them and he looks out there and he sees an Egyptian mistreating a Jewish Israeli man and he kills him and he buries him in the sand and the next day he thought nobody had seen him you know what amazing folks when we do something and we think nobody knows somebody always knows amen he he he he thought nobody had seen him and this Egyptian walked up to him and said let me ask you something are you going to kill us like you killed the Egyptian yesterday and Moses knew they found out about him and listen closely folks he went to the backside of the desert and stayed 40 years you know what there's not a bit of doubt in my mind that the devil whispered in his ear you're done you're buried you're buried you're Ministry is over in light of what you've done you can't be used again and let me tell you something the devil is still telling people that same lie in light of what you've done your Future's over in light of what you've done you can't be used in the Lord's service in light of what you've done you can't be in the ministry in light of what you've done you're unusable the devil tells people that lie but when he was a years old something happened on Mount Si the Lord appeared to Moses in this Burning Bush and look what he said to him get this folks come now therefore and I will send thee unto Pharaoh that thou mayest bring forth my people the children of Israel out of Egypt wait he said Moses my people have been in bondage for 400 years but I'm going to use you to bring them out now look what Moses said and Moses said unto God who am I that I should bring forth the children of Israel out of Egypt you said preacher what humility no no it wasn't humility you've missed it what he was saying God can you still use me I'm the one who murdered the die I'm the one who buried him in the sand god are you can you are you sure you can still use me and God was saying to him no no Moses I can use you because you've not been buried you've just been planted you've not been buried you've just been planted I've still got a purpose for you see see we miss folks what Romans 11 and 29 says Romans 1129 says for the gifts and calling of God is without repentance what what is repentance it's a change of mind you know what God's saying God said I called you to do that you've had some things in your life to happen but I hadn't ch Chang my mind I've called you to do that I haven't changed my mind I've still called you to do that see folks I've done enough planting you put a seed you put that seed in the ground and it dies but let me tell you what it ends up doing it ends up multiplying because that's what a seed does it dies in the ground and then it multiplies see what you've got to understand whether it's the seed of man when the seed of man goes into a woman what does it do it multiplies it multiplies what God is saying I can take everything in your life and it doesn't bury you it multiplies you it doesn't bury you it multiplies you oh folks I'm glad Moses was not buried he was just planted let me let me tell you another one it's Ruth and her mate it's Ruth and her mate now let me share this folks God gave me a line for people in relationships you say Pastor B I've been hurt in relationships in a relationship maybe multiple relationships I've been hurt in relationships I know a young girl I can see her right now that was in my opinion she was she was done greatly wrong in a relationship and I remember one day I saw her and I walked up and I put my arm around her and I said these words I know you're going through a hard time but you just honor God and he'll honor you you just honor God young lady young man you just honor God you just honor God and he'll honor you now now let me quickly say this folks this Wednesday I'll be married 40 years you say well instead of clapping you ought to be patting Barber on the back but you know what I'm wise enough to know folks I'm wise enough that we're not responsible for somebody else's actions and I'm wise enough to know that sometimes divorce happens and I'm wise enough to know that divorce is not some unpardonable sin and I'm wise enough to know people are not less than because they've been through a divorce sometimes it happens there was a woman in the Bible her name was Naomi she was married to a man named IMC and they lived in Jerusalem but they there was a famine in Jerusalem and they went to a land called Moab how did Moab come into existence it came into existence because lot had an incal relationship with his daughter and they go into the land of Moab and they take their two sons in the land of Moab IMC dies Naomi is without her husband he dies and the two boys they find wives they find wives of the moabite women but what's so amazing the two sons die and here Naomi's left with her two daughter-in-laws they're in this Pagan Heathen culture but one of them's name is Ruth and Ruth accepted the god of Naomi the true God of Israel and started Living for him and Naomi said these words I'm going to go back to Jerusalem and Ruth said I serve Yahweh just like you do I'm going back with you now look she was a moabit she couldn't go into the temple she couldn't enter the temple because she was a moabit but she goes back to Jerusalem which means Judah city of worship she goes back there and she looks at her mother-in-law and she says I need to help you out we don't have husbands we can't pay the bills she said I tell you what I can do I can go work in a field I can glean from those fields I can harvest the corn the wheat I I can go and I I work in the fields and it will help us out and she starts working in the fields and look what happens and na me had a kins of her husbands a mighty man of wealth of the family of IMC and his name was Boaz and she ends up working in his field she ends up working in his field oh uh uh the field of Boaz folks you want to find if if you're single you want to find the field of Boaz not the field of a bozo she found the field of Boaz and and she was working in the field of of Boaz and Boaz looked out there and he saw her and he said these words he said she's from Tennessee you say pracher you don't think yeah I do he said she's from Tennessee cuz he said she's the only 10 I see now get this she lost her husband she was in a pagan land working out in a field don't tell me she didn't have hardship but God put her with this wealthy man Boaz now get this she was a moabit she couldn't even go into the temple but wait she became the grandmother of King David and became a part of the lineage guess what of Jesus Christ the devil said you've been buried the Lord said no she's just been planted amen don't you give up folks you've not been buried you've just been planted don't you ever give up I heard about this guy 92 years old started dating an 85 year old they went out on the first date the lady's daughter was very concerned she stayed up and waited for him to to get in she asked her mom mom how'd the date go she said honey I had to slap him three times she said Mama did he try to get fresh she said no he kept falling asleep get this you've got Moses in his ministry you've got Ruth in her mate but then you've got job and his money job and his money get this folks the Bible says that this man was the the wealthiest man of all the East he was the wealthiest man of all these I mean I mean goodness gracious you can read about what he had 7,000 sheep 3,000 camels I mean he was I mean his household I mean literally he was the wealthiest man seven sons three daughters I mean he was filthy rich somebody said to him one time job do you have change for a 100 he said a 100 is change I mean he was filthy rich but what happened in a matter of days ladies and gentlemen he lost it all look here you come up real close you better not take your security in things it's all right to possess things but it's wrong when things things possess you you say how successful is a man you add up everything that you have that money can't buy and death can't take away and I'll tell you how successful you are you better not take your security in things and we buy things we don't need with money we don't have to impress people we don't like and we're trying to keep up with the Joneses and keep up with the Joneses and keep up with the Joneses the only problem every time you catch them they refinance now he lost it all and he said the lord giveth and the lord taketh away blessed be the name of the Lord and when he lost everything there's not a bit of doubt in my mind that the devil didn't whisper into him you're buried you're done it's over that's what the devil will say you're done there's no future for you it's over but something happened in job 42 the Lord blessed the latter end of job more than for his beginning for he had 14,000 sheep and 6,000 camels and a th000 yoke of oxen and 1 thousand CH asses he also had seven sons and three daughters what are you saying I'm saying this ladies gentlemen when the devil said you're buried God said no you're not job you're just planted in 1978 there were two men they worked for the Handy Andy home improvement company they worked for the Handy Andy home improvement company in 1978 and both of them lost their job I believe the devil whispered to them you're done but they weren't buried they were just playing Ed and they went out and started something called The Home Depot and they've done pretty well amen no no no the devil said you're you're you're buried Jesus said no you're just planted there there was a man in school one time his name was Frank and the the professor said to Frank Frank you can't learn there's no reason for you to be in college Frank he said Frank quit college and go sell hot dogs and Frank Gordy walked across the road from the University and he started a place called The barsy and started saying what do you have what do you have what do you have what do you have and the devil said you're buried and he said I'm not buried I'm just planted I tell you I'm going to go back home and listen to this message there there's there's one other Paul in his malady said what what what you what do you mean malady well I had to get an M I'm talking about sickness see in 2 Corinthians chapter 12 the Bible says this the greatest Christian who ever lived ladies and gentlemen had an ailment now what you said preacher what is it now look here there's a reason why God didn't reveal to us whether it was physical emotional mental whatever there's a reason why God didn't reveal because if he had revealed we'd put a greater emphasis on one physical sickness one emotional sickness one mental disorder than we would another God God God never revealed it but wait he was sick and he sought the Lord three times he said God take it away God please take it away God ple go look here get this folks somebody said well you just got to have enough Faith well apparently he didn't have enough the greatest Christian who ever lived apparently didn't have enough that's not a true teaching by the way he said I I I sought the Lord I asked him I beg the Lord three times God touch my body take it away and look what God said he said in verse 9 I'm not going to do it he said my grace is sufficient for thee he said what's he saying in my grace is suff I I'll see you through this I I'll see you through this folks for my strength is made perfect in weakness he said most gladly I rather BR glory in my infirmities that the power of Christ May rest upon me he said God I'm okay I'm not going to let it God bury me I'm going to let it plant me because God you said you can get more Glory out of my life with this ailment than you can if I was whole God you can get more Glory out of my life with this sickness than you could if you touch me God I'm going to trust you that you said you can get more Glory out of my life just the way it is so I'm going to trust you I was reading about Nick voi Nick vo chick was born in Australia but he was born with no arms and no legs and he said when I was born
