amen huh i really don't even i need mine i guess i was just checking something i like to check another translation every now and then um it's interesting i kind of only know the general direction this morning a little bit of a little bit of something so i'm just going to kind of share what's on my heart where we're going to go to a few things but it's kind of going to be a continuation i guess of last week because this burden is kind of still on my heart but i think this is uh last week was a little more of the negative side about don't miss your destiny don't miss the your calling or the time of visitation for your life and we went through some scriptures last week where we talked about there were some people that missed what god was about to do in their life and there's something that we've really got to move into is that you know what things things can look bad all right at times things can look really really really bad and things can press in on you and things can attack you and i mean it it can be a bright sunny day outside and this darkness surrounds you for some reason i just want you to know this though and we're going to look at this passage but some of you don't realize that your attitude your attitude of faith your attitude of [Music] of humility your attitude of obedience to god your attitude could be the thing that makes you either have what god's about to do maybe even the very next day or miss it completely boy this is this is something that um it's still kind of hard for me to comprehend i mean think about judas and we're going to turn some scriptures in there but think about judas now you know i heard david wilkerson preaching on this years ago and talked about he didn't have to be judas somebody was going to betray jesus somebody was going to turn him in it was prophesied somebody said it didn't have to be judas now of course god didn't make judas do it we know that the predestination doesn't work that way it's according to god's foreknowledge god looks ahead he sees the choices we make and then he tells us how it's going to how it's going to work out but you just didn't have to do it but think about this think if judas would have hung on for maybe another 50 days what might have been different in his life less than two months if he could have just hung on two more months fell on his knees repented for his own agenda and his heart repented for his attitudes toward the the lady that was anointing jesus feet for sowing discord among the disciples

you know just repented you know peter sinned he repented right he made it you just didn't make it sad story two more months we serve a god that can come down and in one day change your whole life in one day everything you've been praying for you might have been praying for it for 10 or 15 or 20 years everything you've been praying for everything god told you or promised you maybe maybe 10 years ago or five years ago and god touched you and he spoke to you and he said this is the plan for your life this is what i'm going to do in your life but between god speaking to you between the prophecy and the fulfillment is always usually a test and you're going to find out whether you're going to make it or not and and one thing i remember gene may say unto me a long time ago about about prophecy and especially personal prophecy he said it's all conditional it's all conditional the choices we make bring those things to pass in our lives our attitudes our attitudes toward toward god toward sin toward ourselves we can we can move on in the plan of god for our lives and maybe maybe and see this is what so maybe we're a month away from the breakthrough in our lives from a fulfillment of prophecy from god doing something great maybe we're a day away but the darkness is clouding in and the temptations are clouding in and the problems are clouding in and the attacks from satan and the mental attacks and the emotional attacks and the and the financial attacks and the physical attacks and all this stuff starts crowding in let me tell you a good sign that god's about to do something in your life is when all that stuff starts flooding in it seems at one time because the devil's trying to get you to miss it he's trying to get you to give up he's trying to get you to quit right before god moves and that's why i wanted to tell you last week that's why i shared in the message i know the destiny the prophetic destiny of my life and i know the purpose and the prophetic destiny of this church and i know that it is to see a move of god in this region it's not just to start a church it's not to build some church it's not to have a mega church that is not the goal of why we're here the goal is right here is to see a move of god come down for the glory of god to come to this region to see people saved and to reestablish some truths that the devils has stolen from some people's lives to re-establish some some basic principles that the churches just left and i believe that we are right around the corner from that see there are destinies time seasons for people for churches for cities even for nations
