It’s Still Going To Happen

Nothing can stop what God has purposed for your life. What He promised is still going to pass.
“Start calling yourself healed, happy, whole, blessed, and prosperous. Stop talking to God about how big
your mountains are, and start talking to your mountains about how big your God is!”
― Joel Osteen, Your Best Life Now: 7 Steps to Living at Your Full Potential

You’re about to see a shift. God is doing a new thing.
The silence was all a part of his plan. The delays, closed doors, people that walked away were necessary.
It was setting you up for this moment.
The delay doesn’t mean that God said no, it just wasn’t the right time.
He’s saying you’re still going to accomplish that dream. You’re still going to get out of debt.
You’re still going to see your family restored. God bless you.
It’s great to be with you today and I hope you’ll stay connected with us during the week through our daily podcast, our youtube channel, social media and you can come visit us in person.
Love to have you be a part of one of our services. But I’d like to start with something funny.
And I heard about this six year old little boy, he was standing in the church lobby staring at a plaque on the wall was filled with names with small American flags by their side.
He asked the pastor what it meant.
The pastor explained how that was a memorial to all the young men and women that died in the service.
The little boy stood there very silently and very concerned.
He finally looked up and asked, was it the 8 30 or 11 o’clock service?
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 wanna talk to you today about it’s still going to happen.
We all have things that we’re believing for.
We prayed, we’ve done our best but the medical report hasn’t improved. We didn’t get the promotion.
We haven’t met the right person.
We wanted to go back to school, but nobody supported us, tried to start our business.
We had opposition delays, people did us wrong.
Now we think it wasn’t meant to be, but we may have given up.
The good news is God hasn’t given up. He doesn’t abort dreams.
He’s called the author and the finisher of our faith, the dreams.
He’s whispered in your spirit, the promises you’re standing on.
It may be too much for you, but it’s not too much for him.
He’s saying today it’s still going to happen.

You’re still going to get well, you’re still going to meet the right person. You’re still gonna have that baby.
You’re still gonna pay your house off, you’re still gonna break that addiction.
You’re still going to see your Children fulfill their purpose. See, sometimes you just need faith spoken over you.
Words have power when you’ve heard for so long that it’s not going to happen, that negativity can take root.
You have to let all that go and by faith receive this phrase into your spirit is still going to happen.
Now, every voice may tell you the opposite. There’s no way what have happened by now.
You don’t have the resources you tried before and it didn’t work out.
Let that go in one ear and out the other. Don’t get an agreement with the doubt.
Get an agreement with God. You don’t have to see how it’s gonna happen.
All you have to do is believe, start declaring favor over your life. Start talking like it’s gonna happen.
Start thanking God that he’s working when those negative thoughts come telling you it’s too late. Just answer back.
No, thanks. It’s still going to happen. Well, the medical report doesn’t look good.
That’s one report, but I have another report.
It says I’m still going to get well, well, you’ve had a lot of bad breaks. Looks like that.
Set you back. No, thanks. I’m still going to accomplish my dreams.
Your Children are off course, seems like the more you pray the worst they get.
No, thanks as for me in my house, we’re still going to serve the Lord. Yeah.
But what you’re believing for is way over your head.
You don’t have the resources, the connections, the experience, no way that dream could come to pass.
No, you’re looking at it in the natural, but the God I serve is supernatural.
He’s saying it’s still going to happen in the face of doubt, negative voices.
People telling you it’s not going to work out. It’s very powerful to answer back with this declaration of faith.
It’s still going to happen. You’re saying God, my hope is in you.
I know you’re the all powerful creator of the universe. What you promise will come to pass?
No person can stop him. No sickness, no addiction, no delay.
All the forces of darkness cannot stop what God has purpose for your life.
The only one that can stop Him is you. If you get discouraged, negative, lose your passion.
It says in Psalms, they limited the holy one of Israel.
God told them they were gonna go into the promised land along the way. They had delays, setbacks, opposition.
That was all a part of God’s plan.
But what we do in the difficult times will determine whether we see the fullness of our destiny.
And they got discouraged and started complaining, what are we gonna eat out in the desert?
How are we gonna survive? Those people in the promised land are too big. They look like giants.
We don’t have a chance the whole time. God was whispering, it’s still going to happen. I’m in control.
I’m gonna defeat those enemies for you.
I have provision for every season, but they let the doubt what they saw talk them out of what God promised don’t be like them.
God puts things in our spirit on purpose that are too big for us.
He allows us in situations where we can’t get out on our own. It’s a test.
Are we gonna do like them and get discouraged, miss our purpose?
Or are we gonna let what God says override the doubt and believe that it’s still going to happen.
Despite the giants, I’m still going to go into my promised land.
Despite this medical report, I’m still going to get well, despite the opposition, I’m still gonna accomplish my dreams.
Let me declare it over you.
Despite the delays, the setbacks, how you were raised, you’re still going to live a blessed, fulfilled, victorious life.
Despite the break up, despite who walked away, the hurts, the loneliness. That’s not how your story ends.
That’s one chapter, but you have a whole book. You’re still going to meet someone great.
You’re still going to laugh again, love again, dream again.
God says your latter days will be better than your former days.
Now, when the thoughts whisper now, I know it’s too late. You’ve been through too much.
It’s never going to work out recognize what’s happening. That’s the enemy trying to keep you from the awesome future.
God has in store, tune that out and get an agreement with your creator.
He’s saying it’s still going to happen. It’s not too late. The Giants aren’t too big.
The opposition is not too strong. He’s in control.
You wouldn’t be hearing this if there wasn’t something amazing about to happen, new doors are about to open the right people are about to show up.
Your health is going to suddenly turn around a shift in your finances, your career where you’re suddenly catapulted where you never dreamed what God has in mind is much bigger, better, more rewarding than what you had in mind.
There was a man in the scripture named Zuba Bell.
God put the dream in his heart to rebuild the temple in Jerusalem.
The King gave him permission to start the project and he took 50,000 men and they laid the foundation took two years.
They were so excited. They had a big celebration, singing, dancing trumpets, blowing symbols clashing the scripture says, the people let out a great shout praising God because the foundation had been laid.
So Ruba Bell knew God’s favor was on his life.
Everything was falling into place, the supplies, the people, the foundation looked beautiful and they were about to start the next phase.
When opposition arose, the enemies of Judah heard about the progress and they didn’t like it.
They didn’t want the temple rebuilt. So they started stirring up trouble.
It’s amazing how when you start to make some progress. You see favor promotion.
How that stirs people up, jealousy, gossip, slander. They had no problem with Ruba Bell.
As long as he was average, stay in your corner, don’t make any waves, but God has put greatness in you.
He’s called you to stand out to be a difference maker to take your family to a new level.
No. Be surprised when you take steps of faith. You get out of your comfort zone.
You start the business, go back to school, you break the addiction, you get your family back in church.
If you don’t see people find fault, criticize, why are they doing that? They want you to stay average.
They want you to be mediocre but that’s not your destiny.
God is going to take you places where no one in your family has gone.
He’s gonna cause you to set a new standard. Now, one requirement is you have to be thick skinned.
You can’t get drawn into petty things that will pull you away from your destiny.
The trick of the enemy is to get you distracted, focused on what they’re saying, trying to prove to them that you’re OK.
Worried about what they think. Don’t waste your time trying to win people over that are determined to misunderstand you.
They’re not coming against you, they’re coming against the greatness God put in you, they’re coming against the favor, the anointing the calling on your life.
You have to be an eagle and rise above it. Everyone’s not gonna be happy when you succeed.
That’s OK. Stay focused on what God has called you to do.
Don’t come down to their level and get involved in battles that don’t matter.
These people continued to stir up trouble and lie about Zuba Bell.
They sent a letter to the king saying that Zuba Bell and the people of Judah were trouble makers that they weren’t gonna pay their taxes that they were trying to take over the city.
None of which was true. They were so convincing that the king issued an order stopping all construction.
No work could be done. Week after week, went by month after month, even year after year, the foundation just sitting there empty weeds growing up the property run down.
Can imagine Zuba Bell stopping by at night and walking around seeing the lumber starting to rot and the supplies going to waste.
God, I know you told me to rebuild.
I know I was doing the right thing but all this opposition, these people lied about me.
The authorities have been poisoned. God, it’s not fair. He was discouraged. Thoughts told him you wasted your time.
It’s never gonna work out, just go back home, but God doesn’t make a promise and then change his mind.
He doesn’t speak something to you and then let the circumstances talk him out of it.
The scripture says everything serves his plan. We’re not gonna understand everything that happens.
But the right attitude is God. This doesn’t make sense to me, but I trust you.
I know it’s serving your plan.
See, nothing happens without God’s permission just because he put that dream in your heart doesn’t mean there won’t be delays, critics bad breaks even times when it seems like the enemy got the best of you.
These people lied and shut down the project. Joel, this person walked away. The loan didn’t go through.
My health didn’t improve right. When I started to get ahead, the pandemic hit, set me back.
You’re right where Aruba Bell was.
He had seen God’s favor, things had fallen into place and then the bottom fell out.
That’s when these lies will come. It’ll never happen now.
He’ll never get well, never see your business succeed, never meet the right person.
No, God has not changed his mind. Despite the delays, the opposition. What wasn’t fair?
He’s saying it’s still going to happen.
You’re still gonna accomplish the dream you’re still going to get well, you’re still gonna have that baby.
God said in Philippians, I will bring you to a flourishing finish. Not a defeated, finish, a bankrupt finish.
A lonely finish. A betrayed finish. God has a victorious finish for you. An abundant finish. A flourishing finish.
That means you’re blossoming, blooming, seeing dreams come to pass going further than you’ve imagined.
Healthy, whole fulfilled, being a bigger blessing than you’ve ever dreamed. I’ve heard.
It said God always ends on all is well, if all is not, well, then it’s not the end.
If it’s not good, then God is not done. It’s just another step on the way to your destiny.
Now, the mistake we make is we quit believing.
Along the way, we laid the foundation, we saw God’s favor, had a big celebration.
Then we had setbacks, delays, disappointments.
Now, every circumstance says it’s not gonna happen Was 16 years later, the foundation was still just sitting there.
Nothing had changed. When two prophets showed up Zachariah and they said, Ruba Bell, it’s time to start rebuilding the temple.
He could have thought. What do you mean? Do you realize it’s been 16 years?
Do you know what we’ve been through? What hasn’t worked out who’s against us? I thought this project was done.
Zachariah said, no. Aruba Bell. God sent us to tell you it’s still going to happen.
I love how Zuba Be responded because he could have made excuses. We tried and it didn’t work out.
The opposition is still there. I’m too old man. I missed my chance.
Know the scripture says, Zuba bell rose up and begin the task of rebuilding the temple.
Every thought tried to talk him out of it, keep him defeated.
But when he heard God say it’s still going to happen, he rose up.
That means he got in agreement with God. He started thinking differently. Yes, this is my time.
He started talking differently. I’m equipped, empowered, anointed. The favor of God is on my life.
He took steps of faith, got his men back together, got his passion back his fire back.
And they started rebuilding. Well, the same jerks.
I mean, the same critics went back to the king, they went back to the king said, this man we told you about he’s trying to rebuild the temple again.
You have to stop him. This time. It was a new king.
There had been a change in leadership and sometimes God has to move someone out for your dream to come to pass.
He has to weed out the wrong people so he can put people in that will serve his plan, trust his timing, trust his ways just because you laid the foundation and things didn’t work out.
Doesn’t mean God is through what he started. He’s going to finish.
This new king told the critics he was gonna have the official record searched to see what was said about this temple.
They found a decree where the temple was supposed to be rebuilt and paid for out of the city treasury.
When the king found out it was for the Israelites, God.
He was afraid he had heard about the God of Abraham Isaac and Jacob, he told his people to not only leave Zuba bell alone to let him rebuild the temple, but he said you are to pay for the full construction cost and you are to provide them food and provisions each day.
Wheat, grain, salt, olive oil. God not only helped them finish rebuilding the temple, but he made the enemy pay for it.
There are dreams. God has put in your heart may seem like it’s too late, too big.
You don’t have the resources God wouldn’t have given you the dream wouldn’t have put the promise in your heart.
If he didn’t know how to bring it to pass black with Aruba Bell, it’s not only going to still happen, but there’s going to be supernatural provision, supernatural healing, supernatural favor, uncommon, unusual things.
You can’t explain it. People helping you that don’t even like you God purpose for them to push you into your destiny.
Now you have a part in this. You can’t sit back thinking, Oh, not me, Joel.
I’ll never get, well, this child will never get back on course it’s been so long.
The odds are against me just like God sent Zachariah after 16 years of silence to prophesy that they were going to rebuild the temple.
God sent me to tell you it’s still going to happen.
Now, you may be in a silent season as well. You don’t see anything improving.
No good breaks, no open doors. Your health family finance is just the same. You’re about to see a shift.
God is doing a new thing. The silence was all a part of his plan. The delays, closed doors.
People that walked away were necessary. It was setting you up for this moment.
The delay doesn’t mean that God said no, it just wasn’t the right time.
He’s saying you’re still going to accomplish that dream.
You’re still going to get out of debt, you’re still going to see your family restored.
Now, your part is to rise up, get your passion back, get your fire back, start believing again.
What you let go of revisit didn’t work out the first time. This is a new day. Things have shifted.
God’s about to show you why it hasn’t worked out yet. He’s gonna make the enemy pay.
There’s gonna be opportunity, resources favor that you’ve never seen. You’re gonna know it was the hand of God.
I talked to a lady that had been healthy her whole life. Very strong, energetic, vibrant.
She noticed she wasn’t feeling well and she had some digestive issues.
She went to get checked out and after many tests, she was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, didn’t look good at all.
The doctors told her that the demise would happen quickly.
That while she was able, she needed to get everything in order, make out her will visit with family members.
They gave her less than a year to live. Of course, she was devastated. She never saw this coming.
Sometimes we face these unexpected challenges. That’s when the enemy works over time in our mind.
This is the end man. Too bad. You’ll never get well, never see your Children graduate, just accept it.
When we start dwelling on the negative we’re giving it life. We draw in what we’re constantly thinking about.
You have to guard your mind, fill it with what God promised you in the first several weeks.
She was so upset and so overwhelmed. She couldn’t sleep at night and could hardly function.
She flipped on our serious X M radio channel.
She heard me talking about how God has the final say, how he can do what medicine cannot do and how when we put our trust in Him, he can make ways where we don’t see a way instead of dwelling on all the negative.
Playing the medical report over and over. She started playing another report.
What God said about her, I will live and not die. God is restoring health back unto me.
Despite this diagnosis, I’m still going to get well, six weeks later, she went in for surgery.
They thought they could do this procedure and prolong her life a little bit afterwards, the surgeon came out with a very puzzled look.
He said I have all the X rays right here that show all the cancer.
But when we went in, we couldn’t find any cancer.
You are perfectly healthy, they had no explanation and these were some of the leading experts, one of the most renowned hospitals in the world that was God doing what only He can do.
And I realized it doesn’t happen that way. For everyone.
But how do you know you’re not going to be the one of the ones that it does happen for?
Why not be a believer and not a Doubter.
God is saying, despite the diagnosis, you’re still going to get, well, despite the setbacks, you’re still gonna accomplish your dream.
Despite the delays, you’re still gonna meet the right person.
Despite what experts have told you, you’re still gonna have that baby.
Don’t talk yourself out of it, talk yourself into it. It’s easy to think.
Nothing good is in my future. I’ve reached my limits. That’s gonna keep you where you are.
What God promised you is still going to happen.
Now, your part is to rise up, believe it and watch what God will do.
I think about Jacob in the scripture. His youngest son, Joseph had a big dream.
He was gonna do great things as a father, Jacob was so proud of Joseph.
When he looked at him, he beamed with joy.
He even gave him his coat of many colors which represented the favor on his life.
One day he sent Joseph to check on his brothers who were in another city and they were jealous and ended up selling him as a slave.
They killed an animal, put blood on Joseph’s coat and came home and showed their father, dad look what happened.
Joseph must have been killed by a wild animal.
Jacob was so heartbroken, he tore his clothes, he put on sackcloth. For weeks. He mourned month after month.
His family tried to comfort him but it was no use.
He said I will die in mourning for my son.
Well, 13 years later, there was a great famine in the land.
Jacob sent those other brothers to Egypt looking for food. Little.
Did they know Joseph was in charge of the food supply?
They came back home and told their father this amazing news that Joseph was still alive.
Jacob couldn’t believe it. He was in awe so overjoyed.
Eventually he and his whole family moved to Egypt to live with Joseph.
When Jacob was 140 years old, he was about to pass.
He called Joseph and his grandsons in to give them the blessing. Imagine how Jacob must have felt.
He never thought he would see his son again.
Now, he not only has Joseph but his grandsons are standing in front of him.
If you would have told Jacob, this was all gonna happen 13 years earlier when he was heartbroken in mourning, he would have said there’s no way that’s impossible.
My son is gone. How could I ever see his grandchildren? But look at how awesome our God is.
He’s working in ways that we could never imagine.
We all have dreams that we’ve given up on goals, promises.
I think there’s no way I’ve been through too much, Joel. That door is closed. I’ve made mistakes.
I’ve missed too many opportunities. No, God is about to surprise you.
He’s gonna do something out of the ordinary, something that you didn’t see coming that will boggle your mind.
You quit believing for it, you accepted that it’s never going to work out.
But like with Jacob, you’re gonna stand in awe, not believe in your eyes thinking I could have never fathom this would happen.
That’s how amazing our God is now, you may be in the middle of a setback in the middle of a silent season in the middle of the morning.
That is not the end. God has a flourishing finish for you.
He hasn’t brought you this far to leave you. Your greatest victories are not behind you.
They’re still in front of you. Stay in faith. It’s still gonna happen.
It was a young woman raised by a single mother growing up.
She began to wonder about her father and who he was and why he wasn’t in her life.
And her mother had conceived her with this man that she didn’t really know just a one night fleeing.
And this mother was kind of embarrassed and didn’t wanna elaborate, special to her young daughter.
As this child got older, the mother tried several times to reach out to the father but he wasn’t around, wouldn’t return phone calls.
Didn’t wanna have anything to do with this child after she graduated from college and started her own family.
She still had this longing deep down to know her father. She had two beautiful Children.
Thought about all the moments that they could be sharing together.
She searched the internet, tried several other ways but still nothing she finally accepted that it just wasn’t meant to be.
But just because we give up doesn’t mean God gives up. One day.
She received a note in the mail out of the blue said this is your father.
If you would like to connect, I’d love to talk to you. She couldn’t believe it.
After 39 years, she was able to meet her father.
There was no anger, no bitterness, just a joyful reunion, tears, laughter and hugs was just in time for her father to come to the baby dedication of her second child.
She had given up. But God said I have a surprise for you.
I’m gonna bring you to a flourishing finish. Are there things that you’ve given up on?
You think it’s too late, too far gone? Never gonna work out. God is saying it’s still going to happen.
The dreams he’s placed in your heart, the desires he’s put in you. They’re already on the schedule now.
Do like Zuba Bell and rise up. Get your passion back. Start believing again. Start pursuing again.
If you will do this, I believe and declare you’re about to come out of a silent season into a surprise.
Things are about to shift new doors are about to open the right.
People are gonna show up healing is coming, breakthroughs, promotion new levels of your destiny in jesus’ name.
And if you receive it, can you say amen?
I’d like to give you an opportunity to make Jesus the Lord of your life.
Would you pray with me? Just say Lord Jesus, I repent of my sins come into my heart.
I make you my Lord and savior.
If you prayed that simple prayer, we believe you got born again, we’d love to send you some free information.
