"Delayed but not Denied" - Josiah Silva

[Music] [Music] well I'm gonna jump right into the word as you remain standing I want you to grab your Bibles and we're gonna go to Genesis chapter 50 and verse number 20 and I'm gonna preach tonight out of one verse okay this morning one verse I got a lot of support in scripture but there's this one verse that I actually did a 14-week series on one verse so this this this verse this message is because there's a lot of meat in this verse it's like like be layman you don't come on man like there's me y'all gonna need a toothpick after you read this verse trust me and I did a 14 week series because there was so much that I felt was so relevant for the body of Christ out of this particular story and you know it's been marinating like a good carne asada come on now you know I'm saying good ribs just it's gonna come out but I want to read this one verse and it's a powerful verse in fact it's one of the most profound verses in my opinion in the Bible it's one of my favorites and I believe for you this might become a live verse for you because it's that powerful this particular verse we're about to read is when Joseph was at the fulfillment of his life so he is now living towards the fulfillment of his dream he's now living in what he dreamed for four years and he had gone through all kinds of Hell and all kinds of attacks and anybody been through stuff in your life come on get with my honest people that you're like not me I'm always got god bless you pray for us but what my real ones you know what I'm saying yeah the real ones but I so identify with a life of Joseph because he went through some stuff and so this verse we're gonna read is Joseph sitting at the end of his life in the fulfillment God's not done with them but now he's living in what he dreamed about years ago and he kind of just recognizes who was really at work at his life the whole time and watch this one verse let's read it together Genesis 50 and verse number 20 Amen I'm just telling you right now I'm gonna try my hardest to just kind of teach it and talk through it but I got a preach in me today and I'm just as hard I know I'm a try okay I'm gonna try to behave but I might get a little worked me up a sweat up in here okay I'm sign I got some work to do here let's read this verse one verse here we go he ready the Bible reads like this Genesis chapter 50 and 20 new King James Version says but as for you you meant evil against me but God meant it for good in order to bring about as it is this day to save many people alive in other words you intended to mess me up but God went ahead and turn that around say come on and made something good out of what you were trying to mess me up with he looks back on life and he says in order someone say in order in other words there's an order to this thing memories are the same verse of the contemporary English Bible it's a paraphrase but it's taken from the original translation of the manuscript and text but in the contemporary look Hadas says it like this next slide it says you plan something bad for me but God produced something good from it in order to save lives of people just as he is doing today I want to talk to you today from this this thought that God can turn it for the good and I'm gonna tell you right now if you've been through something don't throw in the towel yet stick around because I believe God's gonna speak to your watching online stay right here because if you ever been through something wonder how in the world can anything come out of this you serve a God who specializes in turning what was meant to harm you to Jack you up leave you broken God says I'm gonna use it for the good somebody give God a shout and tell somebody say it's all good I want to pray for you let's pray bow your head and father I thank you this morning because we didn't just come here to hear the word of man we came to hear the word of God we tuned in because we believe something you have for us today Lord Holy Spirit I'm asking you to have your way in this room and every room that is logged in that you would speak to us God give us perspective this morning that you can produce something from what was intended to harm us God challenges even Holy Spirit convict us it's not popular in today but yeah go ahead Lord show us our deficiencies show us Lord well we're not seeing ourselves the way you see us so that we can be committed the things you have for us thank you Lord that you're faithful even when I'm unfaithful in Jesus name speak to us and all of God's people say Amen once you give God one more clap you may be seated oh man just tell somebody on your way to your chair say it's all good soon as I say it's all tell in fact add this to it say God has it all under control just say that come on that's right I want to talk to you this morning from the life of Joseph the life of Joseph I love this particular text and the story and I can identify so much with it because when we read the the life of Joseph in Genesis and you can read it from verse from chapter 37 all the way to the end we find that the Joseph was a person who went through stuff in his life and you know I can identify with people to have been through some stuff some of you you're too cute you ain't been through nothing come on pray for us come on Amen we all been through stuff tell your neighbors say we all been through stuff and I love how this story of Joseph is is it's as you study it it's filled with rejection and just his family hating on him and they're falsely accusing him and and we're gonna talk about it here in a moment but it's filled with with all of these these low moments but I love is that Joseph never gave up on the God dream that was placed inside of them let me just tell you for a moment don't don't trust your circumstance don't God never said trust your feelings God never said trust how good it is he always said put your trust in God can I get a better hey man okay and I love about the story of Joseph is that that all throughout this his life is when it seemed like he would never come up he would never get out of you know people doing harm to him people mistreating him God always just swooped up and said nah devil come on that's my child it almost like Joseph had this buoyancy to him it's like you know when you got you trying to put something under water but it just somehow comes right back up you know it's like no matter how much pressure it's sooner or later it's just gonna come right back up and what that factor was for Joseph it wasn't because he was good it's cuz God was good he had something in his life that was better than whatever came against him it was his god it wasn't his humanistic dream but it was that the God was the fuel to everything put inside of him and so Joseph does this and it seems through the whole life of Joseph I'm just trying to summarize it here to give you some some context of what happened is it just seems like Joseph no matter what the enemy threw at him God was gonna have his way because he was marked by God he was tagged by God and the best way I can explain this is is uh what is best way I could explain it is one time I was invited to speak in Europe and and my wife came along and she has this fear of losing her luggage like this fear of losing her luggage like for real like it is a straight up prayer chain meeting when it's coming down the carousel honey chill you know and she's just like hold on has the company to come you know so I got to this bright green luggage you know I'm sorry that way she knows when she sees her luggage it's just for peace of my life I mean I'm just joking come on no because I care about her and so we get there and and the whole bags are coming through guess what her luggage don't come down she's just waiting and waiting and waiting till and they're like we don't have a DAT luggage day one it was I started texting people y'all pray start a prayer and fasting chain because I'm about to hallelujah day one doesn't come day two doesn't come day three and by this time I'm like well you know maybe they'll give you a whole new wardrobe you can go shop in and just like yeah but they don't make that shirt anymore and I'm like okay I'm just trying to encourage you prophesy lady okay and so you know after a few days you know we call the airline and we're trying to track with them but here's what they said they said sir don't worry because mr. Silva the the the luggage is tagged to get to you some of you gonna get it and no matter where it is in the world it may seem like it's lost but it's tagged and it's gonna get to you sooner or later what am I trying to say to somebody in this 11 o'clock service it's maybe God tagged you and I know you feel lost but I'm telling you you gonna get to the place God has for you come on somebody give God a clamp tell your neighbors say you can run but you can't hide just town that Joseph he was God's like I'm gonna get my purpose out of his life and that's why Allah by the God that I serve he's the pursuer in this relationship he comes after us with his relentless love so Joseph is is he's going through all of this attack and he just God always comes through with him and and what's so beautiful about this text is that Joseph's life when he reaches the pinnacle his fulfillment is that he recognizes this and in the verses we just read Joseph is now sitting in the fulfillment of his dream the Bible reveals to us that he's now second in charge of all of Egypt and his dream has come to fulfillment and he has this this this aha moment this light bulb moment but I pray every single person has in their walk with God he looks back and he's like you know what you know what I realize that all that junk I went through all them low moments all those times I thought I would never get out all those times they rejected me they talked bad about me every time I thought I lost God actually turned that off and I'm still look at him today and he has this moment that he recognizes that was never in control of my life even when I thought everything was out of control never was so so uh so so uh you know he recognizes distant and and I want to show you this we're gonna break this down here there are these two phrases in the text to to intentions but verse 50 up there up to chapter 50 verse 20 up there one more time I want to show you here there's these tu-tu-tu-tu-tu intentions here some will say to intentions and we see here that he says you meant but God meant I tell you tell my message tell my message is delayed but not denied by the way I forgot to here write that down delayed but not denied as a ton of my message but you see in this verse is - intention say what I'm say - intentions the first intention he says you meant but then he says God meant in other words you had an intention but all along God had his intention he says your intention was to leave me for dead your intention was to mess me up your intention was to hurt me your intention was that I would never fulfill the god-given dream but all along while you had your physical intention there was a different space a different place that my God was at work in the ways I did not see that his intent God's intention superseded your physical intention and I thought was normal God did something in the supernatural to supersede what was happened in the natural and I still got to what God always called me to be can I get a better amen now I want to show you this graph I did this graph about Joseph's life it's it shows his life okay come on oh here we go Lord help me put it up there if you can for me check this out I did this graph of Joseph's life in each point of his life and some of you like that looks like the stock market right now I know pray for it Lord we just pray for the stock market right now lord I need my mutual funds to come up anyway hey man pray long so this little thing of Joseph's life and you'll see it the first point Joseph starts with his dream God gives him a dream God speaks to him and he has this dream and then he gets betrayed by his brothers then he gets thrown into a pit and it seemed like it was over you ain't never gonna fulfill that dream but then he gets rescued out of the pit and he gets promoted in Potiphar's house and it seemed like what I thought was down and I thought the pit was in control no I think God brought him up and now now he was it looked like that was gonna be the fulfillment dream and he was he was rolling in part of his house he was doing fantastic and then you know miss thirsty tried to try to get fresh with Joseph yeah Lord Jesus you know Potiphar's wife was like hey what's up you look good and he's like ain't about that no more I'm trying to get right girl you know I mean it and I you know I'm saying he's just trying to live for God you know I'm saying and so and so as she wanted him and the Bible says that she was like come on to bed with me and he's like not right for my life Jesus oh he ran and she grabbed it she grabbed his jacket and then lied on him and and he was trying to live right but he got falsely accused and then he got thrown into prison for doing what was right it almost seemed like I lost man god this is going nowhere and his life goes down Dan when he's in prison the Bible says he was still so excellent watch this now that he was still operating in excellence that it began to lift him up even in the low place see that right there I could preach a whole message right there because some of us lose our excellence when our circumstance goes sour but you don't recognize that if you wouldn't lose your excellence and your gift and your God then even in the low place God will still use it to propel you to the higher plane can I get a better Amen touch someone and say don't lose your gift in the low place so the Bible says he was still so excellent in the in the prison he's like you don't matter my my circumstances I'm not losing what's inside of me so he starts they put him in charge with the whole prison he starts prophesy he starts operating his gift he wasn't like well you know he's out with God I'm gonna serve God no matter where and then he gets to finally to Pharaoh and then he becomes second Pharaoh what about trying to say what I'm trying to say is that Joseph looks back and he recognizes the pit was never in control my brothers who betrayed me were never in control the people that left me were never in control miss thirsty was never in control or mister thirsty and I'm a ago but when you know that person was never that hater was never in control the place Rafael incarcerated limited where I felt like I had no relationship in connection I literally felt in prison in my own thoughts that was never in control that Joseph says what I look back and I think about all that God has done in my life I now see that your intentions never superseded God's intention in God's call oh my I don't know who I'm talking to today but I feel like I came to give you a word that the devil's intentions never supersede God's intention can I get someone to give God a praise because my god intention is greater touch to people in snake cause skater God's greater God's rated whoa whoa Lord Jesus y'all never charged talk to me somebody she's like put that but that that one up and down you know one more time that's slide if we're gonna put your life up here what it look like some you like pastor you would need more low point we'd have to come down the screen come on back up master you don't got enough room for how low I was where my real people that come on where my real ones where my real ones okay I'll raise my hand and a foot okay there's some low moments talk to me amen you might be sitting in a low moment right now but don't you give up in the dip I feel that right now don't you throw your towel in on the dip because God gave told me to give you this word today that day my intended to harm you but God meant it for the good and he's gonna use it shall I say man okay you never see I think it's a word for me to say I think it's a word for me I think it's word for me okay what you want to say is for you but I made you save me come on all right I mean that was funny okay this is hilarious but we all say Amen but here's why we get ourselves into problems okay is because we think life goes like this the second slide the one that goes straight up we think life is like this we haven't searched this morning huh is that so we think life is like we think I come to church and I get a dream and then it's glory to glory you know Sam oh yeah I got a hedge you know sometimes this won't be tested the hedge isn't just for the good times they had just brick mile so we think it's just I never gonna go through nothing and the problem is we lose our worship because we think this is what God will told you that what would you read the Bible reading the fortune cookie I don't want in the Bible come on now every day no no no that's why I love the Bible it's real it's good you gotta read it it's really good it's pretty good cuz Joseph his life tells me man there's hope for people like you boy come on amen for people that grew up in section 8 housing for people whose dad was verbally and physically abusive there's hope for people like me anybody in this place need to need some hope from Jesus shout Amen it's not like that Joseph recognizes here's your first thought right this town he recognizes that God was always in control Sue's name write that down right there that's a thought God is always in control it's simple the very foundational point God says let me say God is always in control this was the revelation Joseph was having because he recognized you know what God was always in control the pit wasn't in control the prison wasn't in control they the people that hate our army weren't in control the people that left me weren't in control God was always in control cuz look we look where I am today when I was gonna give up on the thing God put in me he's like God was always in control now it's very foundational because you don't know when you need to hear that most when everything's out of control actually need here most cuz everything's good you're like yeah god you're in control you got a bonus got my record you know I got the connection no no no we need to say it the moment you need to say that most is when everything is out of control in fact I'll say it like this your relationship with God begins when you're not in control that's where it starts that's where it starts yeah go ahead give God some praise that's where it starts cuz whatever you have in control you're gifted you got it but you won't know what you're like for God begins is when you have no control over it that's where your relationship with God begins mystery like I got no control over this God and gods like are you ready to let me do some of your life who am I talking to this morning I feel like I'm an IRA you're like were you in my car listen Jesus it's the Holy Spirit he wasn't your car by the way man he's downloading it right now I say some other stuff he told me no interest y'all give up because there are Tizen everything's going good you like you know he's intentional he's intention you meant it for good and then we go down you're not intent rewrite the song I don't like it no more you know we think somehow Ghassan in control but I want to give you this word car says I am still in control you meant it for evil but God turned it for good he had a he had an intention now like I said I got so much like I'm like halfway to this message and I'm like on page three quarters right now okay but I'm gonna do the best I can here we go is in this the Bible says that they meant then it said God meant okay and there is inside of that a transition that shows us how God does it this word meant in the Hebrew is actually in a counting term okay it's an accounting term so when he said God meant it was a Hebrew accounting term that he was compute hating something so the original text in the Old Testament in Hebrew New Testament in Greek but the word meant is the Hebrew a County we're coming so what the way the text you can actually say it is while you were computation calculating how to take me out God in a different space in place was calculating computing how to take what you were strategizing and scheming to take me out God was adding it all up and saying you might think that's gonna take out my daughter but let me add in something else that I'm gonna use it to catapult him into what I called it you thought it would take him out but I'm gonna count computation and put something what I'm telling you is God's equation it's greater than the devil's equation to try to take I know it might seem calculated of how is gonna snuff you out but I got a word from you that God has a calculation of how to use it to produce something good shout Amen the calculated sites your neighbors say he's calculating it for you he's calculating reported the problem with this scenario is we only see the physical calculations that's the problem I see what they're calculating against me I seed their skin but see you don't see what God's calculating so brother Joseph's preaching to us he's administrative he's saying tell him that when I looked at it all and all said and done I look back and said God meant it for good that didn't work it's spiritual warfare 101 how do you love the person in front of you but fight the spirit behind it if I had more time come on come on somebody spiritual warfare 101 because you think no they are who I'm fighting now no no no God has weird now what's the calculation God uses all Jesus help me it's in the verse can I show it to you if you read too fast you miss it but God's computation and calculation of how he turns what was meant to harm you and he turns it for good it's in the verse and I want to show it to you it's right there it's in the word but if you read it fast you miss it let's put it back up put it back I told you one verse man I'm distance man some meet up in this burger okay the Bible says this it's this watch this but as for you you meant evil against me but God meant for the good in order to bring about and this day to save many people alive did you see it was right the I was right that me spent more time I'll slow it down but as for you there's an equation you meant it for evil against me but God meant it for good you see you meant evil but God equation for good there's the equation it showed you meant evil but God here's the equation you tried to hurt me but God turned it for good the equation of working this algorithm the two words but God in other words your intention would to harm me God turned it for good your intention is never greater than the God that I serve so what he was saying to them as he was saying no matter what it was trying to come against me God she said in other words I don't care what the sickness says but God concerned it for good I don't care what the economy says but God I don't care who you lost I don't care if you lost the home I don't give you lots of relationship I don't care if you lost anything but if you don't lose your God he can turn in for the good in fact I want you to say this all throughout this Suites be like but God may be like hey they left you but God I got an equation that's greater than that man you lost your house but God man mad you see what the doctor said hey J hey you know you know but the business tanked but God but man your kids are acting crazy but God hallelujah you're right I can't do it but I got something in the equation that can supersede whatever that Devils trying to throw at me come on talk to me somebody where my real people that Amen he replies this and says but God what I love most about this is who Joseph was speaking to in this verse Joseph was actually speaking to the people that did him the most harm who started all the drama and what I love is Joseph replies not at a revenge but revelation he had the power now to take them out but Joseph says I don't I'm not gonna reply to revenge or apply to revelation and that's what I pray that's maturity is when we reply at a revelation not revenge is when I recognize the people that left me were never part of my future anyway that's when I recognize the people that try to harm me let me tell you in preacher talk that became my misery became my ministry my pain became my platform that's when I recognized that my mess was where God did a miracle and now I am what I am because of what had to happen can I get an amen it had it he says in order so I could do this so now he's operating at such a level that is incredible I'm telling you it is it's now Joseph recognizing that God was always at work in my life some will say God's intention is great write this down second point here's what I want you to know out of this one little verse with so much power is this is that God has the final word say would say God has the final word someone say delayed but not deny you see what Joseph was teaching us brother Joseph he's preaching to us is he was trying to tell his brothers you don't have the final word recognize that whatever you said is not who I am in fact some of you need to delete the track the text right now if someone's word they try say over you you got to delete the email rip the letter if they went old school go ahead they don't got the final word they don't have to find a word delete the comment come on somebody there's a cool little button blah keys come on now and they don't got the final word don't be trying to slide into my DMS got my I'm trying to live for destiny not no DN come on now amen they don't have to find a word he was telling them you intended but God turned it in other words you don't have the final word and he was showing him now I found this really powerful thing in this verse yeah this is this powerful and I want to just break it down to you later I got I got I got some time here so let me break this down I got so much I want to teach you oh Lord Jesus help me are you the missing Yoda must have know that because the palabra amen translation but God okay just keep going hi a mare it's Genesis 37 okay watch this here watch this watch this watch this what is this gonna bless somebody okay just the Word of God Genesis 37 watch this watch this watch this someone say God has a final word in Genesis 37 and verse 5 watch what happens Bible says Joseph had a dream and when he told it to his brothers they hated him all the more can I tell you the reason some people hate you is because of what God put in you don't take it personal they don't hate you they hate what God put in you say God has a final word that's gonna set someone free right now right there you've got to recognize the reason the devil fights you it's not because of where you are but where you're headed okay you got to realize that's why the attack is proof that God puts something big on the inside of you it's not the proof that there's nothing in you it's that there's something so great in you that he's trying to kill what could happen out of your life someone shout amen so his brothers hated him and watched verse 20 23 jump down to 20 37 23 it says so when Joseph came to his brothers they stripped him of what his robe the ordinate Roby's were so his father had given him this robe of many colours to Technicolor coat and it kind of was a signify that they know he was he was something unique and he was gonna do some great things and they stripped over this robe they took it you know I never gonna be that it gets thrown into a pit but can I show you this oh thank you Lord but when you go to Genesis 41 the end of his life watch this man Joseph Pharaoh said to Joseph I had a dream and no one can interpret it but I've heard it said that you and one of you hear a dream you can interpret it in other words he was great at helping people produce their vision if you want to do something big help others okay verse 41 so Pharaoh said to Joseph I hereby put you in charge of the whole land of Egypt then Pharaoh took his signet ring from his finger and he put it on Joseph's finger and he dressed him in row what a fine linen and put a gold chain around his neck see that's biblical come on some bass why did you catch it they stole the robe period and they thought you're done Joseph's life oh yeah I got my god but god but God mister Stane gonna take me down ain't no prison gonna take me down and now my man Joseph's like remember that robe you took the Bible says God then gave him robes I feel like running and going old school he says you took a robe but God restored to me rags you know got the final word and don't matter what I lost in one season God will restore to me and greater measure in another season I came to tell somebody you might have lost a jacket you might have lost the relationship you had a loss to a business but you don't lose your God and he's gonna give you rose show mine because God is on your side some would say I got rose say I got rose touch three people say you've got rogues coming you got rogues coming oh my god my god I don't know who needs to hear this today no I don't know who needs to hear this today but you are crying over one robe you are crying over one of relationship you are crying over one of the season you are crying over one moment God said this Latino preacher to tell somebody God says what you lost in one God says I will return back seven times what the devil stole but you gotta hold on in the dip don't you quit in the pit and watch God work his equation for the good give God a 10-second praise seven six five Oh three soon holiday [Applause] Jesus oh my god my god I'm old school Pentecostal I start running up in this place [Applause] so God's humming singing if I had the props and I'd always let's use props but I would have in this corner one robe that you really liked but if Joseph could just see the robes that would close in later in another season of life if you could only see what he wants to clothe you in now I know listen I'm a real talk preacher trust me if I could have my way I wouldn't want to lose that road in my younger years I wouldn't want to help I wouldn't have won had to have lost some of the things I lost when I was young and I'll have to go into detail but they hurt they hurt a lot and I almost felt like that was gonna define me God but the Lord showed me is that they did not have the final word because later in life Joseph would wear a different road but it wasn't just what was on him but what was any [Applause] can I get a little more real this mess with people's theology oftentimes it's why they give up on God because I think while God if he were real why did I lose that one idea and we got quiet well hey preacher man a lot of bad things happen to good people if God was real that he should have kept that robe all his life listen to me now don't you forget this what happened to Joseph in his early years God didn't inspire that but he utilized it but Joseph lost and was season God put is something in him listen to me now and no matter what people did which is a product of sin by the way the people's sinful actions hurt others and maybe you're in this place and you were hurt by someone else's sinful actions and I'm about to get emotional here because Joseph at the end of his life says you intended evil [Music] in other words Joseph was very clear it wasn't an accident what you did to me wasn't an accident it wasn't oops I stepped on your shoe or oops I hit your car or sorry I forgot to pick you up he said no what you did was evil and it was intentionally to hurt me Joseph recognized the you intended wickedness towards me and it hurt but while you the devil thought he was gonna hurt me it produces the platform I now stand on that because I've killed some Giants I did not get my anointing by what I avoided but what hit me God used it as griten he used it as combustion fuel he produced it inside of me that now the robes are wearing this season have a story of how I can help somebody else get to their place of breakthrough I'm now clothed with forgiveness I'm now clothed with dignity I'm now clothed with Christ I'm now clothed with the Holy Spirit I'm now clothed with ratchetness but righteousness I've now clothed with the carbon of praise and when I lift my hands I don't just lift them through because it's always been good but because I've been through somebody give God praise with the new road hallelujah godly my man in the purple just lift your hands right there and Father thank you that's you man right there BAM receive what God has for you thank you Lord right here in the red sweater just lift your hands thank you Lord that's why God told you how to come today thank you lord right here my man just right there just put your hands up the IU right there BAM right there thank you Lord he's given you new roads he's given you a new roads my man right here with a cap just let Jan you got a a green jacket BAM right there that's why he brought you to this house he wants to clothe me with something new oh right here lift your hands just like that thank you Lord what you lost will not define you what you lost will not define you but what you're gonna gain is gonna be what shall define you come on somebody oh thank you Jesus Oh Lord oh my god there's so much I want to say thank you lord just bow your heads right there just with your hands down thank you lord [Music] I feel like I'm having a conversation with somebody there's someone in this room I I'm battling for you right now I feel like I'm God is using this word right now to pull down 20 years strongholds in your mind I feel God right now is breaking yes that could happen in a moment I feel the Lord making his way through these aisle ways yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah thank you lord thank you lord thank you Jesus Oh Lord man yeah I'm just letting you marinate I'm laying the Holy Spirit do something right now some of you you're like I'm good okay pray for those have been through stuff okay thank you Lord because these are the type of moments we need in churches oh thank your father make your way through the aisle ways Jesus I got to show you this verse just look up at me because here's a question I get sometimes well pastor Josiah I feel like I lost time fair question I can't get the time back though pastor fair question but God already has that cover to show you this verse watch this Joel chapter 2 put that up there for me if you can look what the Prophet Joel says he says I will restore watch this now so I will restore to you the years [Music] God says whatever you lost in that time I'm gonna give you a double portion in this season [Applause] and I love how this verse breaks it down of add more time he says the crawling locusts the consuming locusts and the chewing locusts those are three seasons of life one is from early middle and older parts like he said there are things that I've tried to crawl consume and you that try to chew you but God says whatever what's gonna try to eat you away God says I'm gonna restore it all in this season come on can I get a better amen thank you Lord thank you Jesus oh I thank you Father with every head bow I want to pray for some people you're in this room and you say pastor Josiah that's me I fear I feel like that's me I've been more focused on what I lost in one season but today I will make this Mother's they intended to harm me evil but God turned if for the code if you're here you say pastor that's me pray for me I just want you to lift your hand I'm gonna pray for you ready 1 2 3 put your hand in the air thank you lord perspectives are about to change right now I want you to repeat this prayer for me say Lord I now recognize that you've always been in control those that hurt me rejected me and left me we're not in control god you're always been in control say this what I lost in one season you'll return to me in the next season in greater measure because God has the final word I put my trust in you with the things I can't control because you've been faithful when I was unfaithful you've been good when things weren't good so I give you my obedience and all of my worship in Jesus name Amen come on for the next 15 seconds I want you to worship come on please please please please this is not hype this is you getting a hold of God 11 seconds 10 come on say God I give you all my trust seven six come on five I'll give you all my worship three and a half three and a quarter some you need to give God your best grazing in the middle of the hell you're going through this is real worship this real worship is when you give God your best worship in the hell you're going through two and a half two and a quarter [Music] [Music] in Jesus name Amen final thought that I'm going to lead people to Jesus they were gonna give to God and then I'll dismiss you Joseph makes this last sentence and he says this he says in order for the saving of many lives you know what he meant by that it's bigger than you [Applause] we say it again it's bigger than you [Music] I don't mean to offend you your important person but what you're carrying is bigger than you Joseph realizes it was bigger than me man I was trying to take me out earlier because then there was about me but what God want to do through me there are people your story is gonna reach because you held on and obedient to God and worship that my story will never reach your story belongs to the kingdom let me tell you why you don't know why because some people know you know not listen they know you and the reason your story's gonna touch them because they're gonna say this wait a minute like I could see maybe how pastor Josiah could change but I know you I know you and to see what God is doing in
