"Your Time is Coming"
Zach 9:12 "This very day I'm declaring a double bonus—everything you lost returned twice-over!"
-don't let a season of mourning turn into a lifetime of mourning
Ruth 1: 20 "But she said, "Don't call me Naomi; call me Bitter. The Strong One has dealt me a bitter blow. I left here full of life, and God has brought me back with nothing but the clothes on my back. Why would you call me Naomi? God certainly doesn't. The Strong One ruined me.""
-refuse to get bitter, trust that God still has great things planned for your life
-ie: Joseph---Ps 27 "what would have become of me if I had not lived in the land of hope?"
-when you feel like giving up, keep trusting
-the enemy always fights the most when God has the best coming your way
-don't believe the "never" lies: never going to...
-Joseph waited 13 yrs
-your destiny is not dependent on others--a boss, a friend, etc--God already has divine connections
-Simeon: God told him that he would not die until he saw Jesus Christ born; 20 yrs later he saw his promise come to pass
-God put promises in our heart and they will come to pass; ie: one day you're going to...
-when you sow in tears you will always reap in joy
-your time is coming and could be now--God's going to give you the promotions, break strongholds, hidden dreams will come to pass, will bring the right people into your life; the seed will take root and ignite the dream "fan the flame"
-God rewards obedience
