1 00:00:01,120 --> 00:00:03,400 Welcome to the Cross Power Church podcast. 2 00:00:03,720 --> 00:00:06,800 You're listening to a service from our church in Campbell, TX. 3 00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:10,480 We pray this message strengthens your faith and points you to the 4 00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:12,840 cross. Now let's join the service. 5 00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:18,440 Heavy Bibles this morning going to ended in Malachi last week 6 00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:24,760 going to take off in Matthew. Talking about the 400 years that 7 00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:28,920 seem to be silent but yet they were anything but silent. 8 00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:34,320 Talked about how we go through dry seasons of our spiritual 9 00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:38,360 life and how many times we feel God is distant. 10 00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:40,440 We feel like maybe God has not answered. 11 00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:44,120 Maybe God does not sometimes care about our situation. 12 00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:46,760 The truth is you will feel like that in this Christian walk at 13 00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:50,280 times. But when God answers, He answers 14 00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:56,160 big. As we stand and read this today, 15 00:00:56,160 --> 00:01:01,880 I just want to get the setting of it because sometimes you got 16 00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:04,239 to tear down our thoughts and what we've been taught in this 17 00:01:04,239 --> 00:01:07,520 life to really get the picture of Christmas. 18 00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:14,160 Many put AX in it where Christ is supposed to be and we get 19 00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:19,240 tied up, we get busy, we get forgetful of what it really 20 00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:21,800 means. It should be a wonderful time. 21 00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:23,680 It shouldn't be a stress time. Amen. 22 00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:27,000 Christmas should take the stress away because when you look at 23 00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:32,840 what Christmas man, we've blown it so, so out of proportion of 24 00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:34,480 what it is. It's about a savior. 25 00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:37,880 It's about the blood that we just sing about coming to a lost 26 00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:41,240 and dying world. What a glorious time it should 27 00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:46,520 be because see for the for the time that we celebrate this 28 00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:50,440 year, it was an impossible situation. 29 00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:55,360 I when God looked down, you know, how could I? 30 00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:58,800 I don't wiped them away once I wiped out the human race, all 31 00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:02,640 except the few obedient people that got on the ark and I just 32 00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:04,160 can't imagine what God was looking. 33 00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:09,360 It looked impossible. I look at Joseph and what they 34 00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:12,080 were about to go through when we read this scripture. 35 00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:15,040 It looked impossible. Maybe you're here this morning 36 00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:18,840 and whatever situation you're facing, it may look impossible, 37 00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:22,480 but I come by to tell you He's still the God of the impossible. 38 00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:24,960 Amen. Maybe you're here and your backs 39 00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:27,360 against the wall. There's no other way to turn. 40 00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:30,360 That's a good thing because you'll turn to God and God will 41 00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:34,520 begin to work an impossible situation in your life. 42 00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:37,920 But say that with me, you got to get that this morning. 43 00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:40,720 He's still the God of the impossible. 44 00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:45,200 In Matthew chapter 1 and verse 18, we read the Christmas story. 45 00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:49,240 We read about the birth of Christ being born to Mary. 46 00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:53,080 But I want to look back at some of this and preach to you today 47 00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:58,440 about the God of the impossible, the birth of Jesus Christ in 48 00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:01,840 Matthew 1 and 18. It was as follows. 49 00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:07,240 As His mother Mary was, they trotted the Joseph before they 50 00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:12,720 came together. She was found with child of the 51 00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:15,760 Holy Spirit. Can you imagine being Joseph? 52 00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:19,600 You've got a virgin lady, you hear you're fixing to marry the 53 00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:23,600 woman of your dreams, a young beautiful lady and and somewhere 54 00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:28,280 between the engagement and the wedding, she becomes pregnant. 55 00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:32,280 Then Joseph, her husband being a just man. 56 00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:34,960 I think that's a key right here to the plan of God. 57 00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:39,520 He found a just man not wanting to make a public example man, we 58 00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:41,520 would make a public example today. 59 00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:45,280 I dare say most young people that happened that they would be 60 00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:48,600 posting, they would be trying to figure out who the father was 61 00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:53,200 and and condemning and throwing stones and it was an impossible 62 00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:58,480 situation and he was minded to put her away secretly. 63 00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:01,520 But while he thought see, there's something about the 64 00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:05,720 thought process. While you think so many people 65 00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:08,880 today think about serving God. They think about what church 66 00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:11,240 they go to. They think about what they give 67 00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:13,920 of their time and their talents to to God. 68 00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:18,880 But while you think something can happen, while he thought 69 00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:21,839 about these things, behold, an Angel of the Lord appeared to 70 00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:27,200 him in a dream, saying, Joseph, son of David, Do not be afraid 71 00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:32,360 to take to you Mary as your wife, for that which is 72 00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:34,680 conceived in hers of the Holy Spirit. 73 00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:39,520 And she will bring forth the Son, and you shall call his name 74 00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:43,160 Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins. 75 00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:48,520 Can somebody say man, so all this was done, that it might be 76 00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:52,800 fulfilled, which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet 77 00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:57,320 saying, Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and bear a son, 78 00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:00,000 and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which is God 79 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:05,160 translated God with us. Then Joseph being aroused from 80 00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:10,000 sleep did as the Angel of the Lord commanded him and took to 81 00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:14,120 him his wife and did not know her till she had brought forth 82 00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:18,640 her first born son and he called his name. 83 00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:22,320 Say it with me, Jesus. Father, we just want to come 84 00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:24,120 before you and thank you for Jesus. 85 00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:27,600 We want to thank you this busy time of year that that we can 86 00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:30,720 get our minds off the presents and off all the things and the 87 00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:35,000 schedules and put our mind on Jesus and realize that grace had 88 00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:38,280 come to planet earth this season that we celebrate. 89 00:05:38,280 --> 00:05:40,880 We thank you for that grace. We thank you for your blood. 90 00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:44,080 We thank you for the anointing to preach the word once again in 91 00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:50,160 Jesus name and everybody said when we look at his role, I 92 00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:52,120 often preach around Christmas time. 93 00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:55,720 Been doing this a while now. I I preach on Mary and and what 94 00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:58,880 she had to go through. But I guess it's kind of fitting 95 00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:02,560 today because see the women left on a trip and all the men didn't 96 00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:06,120 come to church. Maybe they'll listen to that in 97 00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:09,640 the morning on the way to work. Hey, man, I thought about it. 98 00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:11,920 I said, well, it's gone. I ain't got to go to church. 99 00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:16,000 No, I didn't. I don't think that way. 100 00:06:16,280 --> 00:06:20,200 I got to go to church. I got to worship God because I 101 00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:23,240 know when I stop, I know what the devil does to my mind. 102 00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:25,960 I know when I begin to think the wrong thoughts. 103 00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:28,600 I know that I got to touch the Master. 104 00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:30,640 Amen. But when we look at the life of 105 00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:34,240 Joseph and his role in the birth of Christ, I wonder what was 106 00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:39,200 going through his mind, the events of the conception of 107 00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:43,120 Christ that began to churn and unfold in his mind. 108 00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:47,040 He he wanted to put her away. I want the natural thing to do. 109 00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:50,320 I mean, I, I, I've been trotted to a virgin here and she's with 110 00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:53,720 child it it's impossible. It has never happened in the 111 00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:57,440 history past and it and it will not happen in the future. 112 00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:03,680 But men, they we we put ourself in this place and put yourself 113 00:07:03,680 --> 00:07:05,640 in the place of Joseph this morning. 114 00:07:05,840 --> 00:07:10,840 Women, put yourself in the place in the situation that Mary was 115 00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:16,120 in a beautiful girl with dreams had had been faithful to the 116 00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:20,320 Lord had not known a man had not slept with a man, but yet she's 117 00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:23,560 pregnant has never happened before. 118 00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:27,800 But yet Joseph was facing something that he could not even 119 00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:32,320 how would the mind conceive that how many people could go forth 120 00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:35,360 in this relationship? And it's a great lesson for us 121 00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:39,960 today because how we respond to our trials Stay with me this 122 00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:42,640 morning. How we respond to our trials in 123 00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:46,600 this life greatly effects others that are around us. 124 00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:49,680 Not only just effects them, but it could affect them for 125 00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:53,480 eternity because you may be the only Bible they ever read. 126 00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:56,440 Our children, how do they see us when trials come? 127 00:07:56,560 --> 00:08:00,560 When impossible situations come, how do we respond? 128 00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:06,520 How do we respond when the situation looks impossible? 129 00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:10,160 Do we run to the House of God or run from the House of God? 130 00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:16,880 Matthew 19 and 26 says it best. Jesus said this to the 131 00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:20,880 impossible, but he can't say. He said with men it is 132 00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:24,840 impossible, with men it is impossible. 133 00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:29,080 He was talking to a rich man the day he said that he he said, but 134 00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:31,160 it he was talking to the rich young ruler. 135 00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:32,799 His disciples said how can this be? 136 00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:36,880 He said with men it is impossible, but with God all 137 00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:41,039 things are possible. In Luke 21 and 28, it says lift 138 00:08:41,039 --> 00:08:44,760 up your head because your redemption draws nigh. 139 00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:49,320 So we live where where we look at this story now and the wise 140 00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:53,040 man had came and worshipped and the Angel of the Lord appears 141 00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:57,880 again to Joseph in Matthew chapter 2 verse 13 and 15, he 142 00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:01,240 appears again and it says when they when they had departed, 143 00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:05,920 behold an Angel, you know God. God sent the Angel to Joseph to 144 00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:09,160 say do not do away whether this is of God, this is of the Holy 145 00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:11,520 Spirit. And while Joseph thought upon 146 00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:16,400 these things wasn't very long, he didn't have a lot of time. 147 00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:19,960 You know, some Christians spend a lifetime trying to figure out 148 00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:21,240 if they're going to serve God or not. 149 00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:25,520 Joseph had what, probably nine months, if that here to figure 150 00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:28,800 out what I'm going to do. How am I going to how, how is 151 00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:31,520 this going to affect me? All the dreams and all the plans 152 00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:34,960 we just had, they got shot down because of a pregnancy. 153 00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:40,120 How do we respond to our trials? How do we do this? 154 00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:43,600 And in verse 2, chapter 2 and verse 13, it says Now when they 155 00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:47,600 had departed, behold, an Angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph 156 00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:52,240 in a dream. I began to think about this that 157 00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:55,080 Angel had done came and give Joseph some crazy news. 158 00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:58,200 Hey, the virgin that you're that you're engaged to is pregnant. 159 00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:00,440 I bet Joseph is saying hold on Angel. 160 00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:03,760 Last time you come to me, you rock my world. 161 00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:07,240 You told me something and and it put me in an impossible 162 00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:09,960 situation. I had to believe like I've never 163 00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:13,480 believed before because you told me it was of God and it was of 164 00:10:13,480 --> 00:10:16,520 the Holy Spirit. And now you know, this had to be 165 00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:19,400 a hard thing because they had been raised under the law of 166 00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:21,960 sacrifice. They had been raised, everything 167 00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:24,280 that they believed had been shaken. 168 00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:27,600 What would happen to the body of Christ today if we done away 169 00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:31,120 with all the old religion and all the old doctrines and all 170 00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:33,040 the old things? What would happen? 171 00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:37,160 What would happen? I love what my sister told me 172 00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:39,280 this week. She said, I got invited to a 173 00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:44,360 little, a little shindig and she said I went there and she said I 174 00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:47,440 told them I really didn't want to go because I knew some of the 175 00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:51,920 I used to party with them said I didn't want to go because I, I 176 00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:54,360 used to party with him and I knew what was going to be going 177 00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:56,800 on. And they looked at, they told 178 00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:58,600 her on the phone. They said, well, we're religious 179 00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:00,120 too. Look out. 180 00:11:02,560 --> 00:11:04,880 We're religious too. So she said, I went ahead and 181 00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:09,320 went and as I sat there, she said here in a minute they begin 182 00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:14,480 to pass the bottle and she said, I can't take of that bottle. 183 00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:18,440 Didn't your sister said I didn't take of that bottle because I 184 00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:22,920 know Jesus now? And she said, you know, all of 185 00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:25,480 them walked out beside the two boy. 186 00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:28,120 I was in the truck because I've kind of mentored her. 187 00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:29,720 I've kind of prayed with her a few times. 188 00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:31,680 We come through some hard things. 189 00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:36,680 So I said by God, I just give me some faith, you know, and man, 190 00:11:36,680 --> 00:11:39,400 the Holy Ghost begin to well up with me and I said, let me tell 191 00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:43,080 you something sister, religion will pass you the bottle, but 192 00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:45,280 Jesus will pass you over the bottle. 193 00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:47,960 Can I get a witness? See, that's the blood of Jesus. 194 00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:50,960 Say, man, religion is what killed Jesus. 195 00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:53,400 Religion. Joseph had to get out from under 196 00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:55,000 the religion that he had been taught. 197 00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:58,120 What would happen to us if we just got out from under religion 198 00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:01,160 and begin to look to the author and the finisher of our faith? 199 00:12:02,560 --> 00:12:07,520 But he says here's this Angel. I bet Joseph was shaking my God, 200 00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:09,880 what's he going to want? What does he want me to do? 201 00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:13,320 I see Christian all the time. Oh, if God would just send me an 202 00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:14,720 Angel. I got news for you. 203 00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:18,040 If God does send you an Angel, your Angel might require 204 00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:20,520 something of you. It might be a little impossible 205 00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:23,920 for you to do so quit just praying for the Angel and pray 206 00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:26,800 for strength to hear from God and do what the Angel of the 207 00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:30,480 Lord told you to do because he told Joseph he said arise, he 208 00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:33,280 didn't fix his problem. He give him a another problem. 209 00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:36,440 He said I want you to arise and I want you to get out of here 210 00:12:36,560 --> 00:12:38,920 because they're trying to kill the child and it's your 211 00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:42,480 responsibility to take this child that you really aren't the 212 00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:46,120 father of and I want you to get out of Bethlehem and I want you 213 00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:48,040 to get to Egypt. Well, that was a little bit of a 214 00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:51,280 problem because he didn't have the heaters and the vehicles 215 00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:54,520 that we go out here and complain about not finding the keys to 216 00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:56,560 that. We have the luxury of getting in 217 00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:05,720 Bethlehem to Egypt, 450 miles. I want you to carry this child. 218 00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:09,960 I want you to lead this donkey. I want you to feed this donkey. 219 00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:12,440 There's a lot more than just leading the donkey care. 220 00:13:12,560 --> 00:13:15,360 The donkey's got to eat. The donkey's got to drink, and 221 00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:18,320 they had a lot of water from Bethlehem to Egypt, a man. 222 00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:21,760 But I'm telling you, if you want to get from Bethlehem and get to 223 00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:24,280 the promise that God has promised you, you know, Joseph 224 00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:25,240 had to be. Thank you, man. 225 00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:27,240 God, you done took us out of Egypt. 226 00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:29,160 You done took your people out of Egypt. 227 00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:30,760 Now you want me to go back to Egypt? 228 00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:34,720 Oh, if God would just send me an Angel. 229 00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:37,320 I'm going to tell you something. Your Angel will come with an 230 00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:41,000 impossible insignment. I've had one visit me in my life 231 00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:43,280 and it was with an impossible insignment. 232 00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:46,480 Your Angel will bring an impossible assignment, but I 233 00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:49,120 come by to tell you he's the God of the impossible. 234 00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:53,240 But I bet Joseph was like, man, last time I saw you, you told me 235 00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:57,600 that my virgin white girlfriend was going to have a baby. 236 00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:01,480 I had to believe like I've never believed in this life. 237 00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:05,960 I had to believe the impossible. And now you want me to carry my 238 00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:11,480 wife and this baby to Jerusalem? Oh, yeah. 239 00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:13,480 By the way, Joseph, he's going to save the world. 240 00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:16,800 How do you raise a kid when God comes to you? 241 00:14:17,560 --> 00:14:19,800 You know, today we try to raise a kid and hope they don't get 242 00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:23,640 addicted to their phone, hope they don't get addicted to video 243 00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:27,520 games, hope they don't get evicted, addicted to all those 244 00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:30,240 things. But yet God placed this up on 245 00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:31,720 Joseph. And you know what? 246 00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:36,720 Joseph only had him 12 years. I found that ironic after Jesus 247 00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:39,160 is 12 years old, teaching in the temple. 248 00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:41,960 You ever caught that? Joseph is not mentioned at the 249 00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:44,480 cross. He's not mentioned at the tomb 250 00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:48,480 From 12 to 30 to 30 years of age. 251 00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:51,680 What did Jesus do? They're known as the silent 252 00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:53,720 years. The last account of him was in 253 00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:57,040 the temple, listening to those that were educating and shooting 254 00:14:57,040 --> 00:14:59,960 down their doctrine and trying to tell them that something 255 00:14:59,960 --> 00:15:02,200 greater than your doctrine has came. 256 00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:05,280 It's the freedom of the blood that's going to be shed on a 257 00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:09,960 cross in a few years. Don't you think? 258 00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:13,800 Joseph was telling this Angel thinking these two had to be. 259 00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:16,240 He was human. He was human. 260 00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:20,520 I want you to carrier and I want you to go 450 miles from 261 00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:23,040 Bethlehem to Egypt. Why? 262 00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:25,280 Well, this got me when I read this. 263 00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:28,960 Why did it have to go back? Because it was prophesied that 264 00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:31,480 and it says right there as you read on, that it might be 265 00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:36,960 fulfilled out of Egypt. I called my son, so I want you 266 00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:39,760 to go back to the place that you were in slavery, that you were 267 00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:43,600 promised to land over here in Canaan and you seen generations 268 00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:46,040 die out in the desert. And I want you to go back to 269 00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:47,760 that place. Why? 270 00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:51,840 Because I prophesied that. Doesn't that tell you how 271 00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:55,200 important God's promises are? Doesn't that tell us that that 272 00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:58,760 he will go through hell and high water to to do what he says he 273 00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:04,640 will do from Bethlehem to Egypt? So a prophecy might be fulfilled 274 00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:06,520 saying out of Egypt I call my son. 275 00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:11,080 So see Joseph departs. You know the coolest thing about 276 00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:15,280 this story when I was studying it, no questions asked, 277 00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:18,400 Christians would have been full of questions. 278 00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:23,040 It would have took them probably the better part of 70 years that 279 00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:25,680 most would have probably died before they ever left Bethlehem. 280 00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:29,400 Jesus would have been grown. What would have happened to the 281 00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:31,800 plan of God? My boy, God told me to get out 282 00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:34,240 of here and go back over there. And we've already been over 283 00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:35,960 there and they already died over there. 284 00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:40,320 And, and Christians, they got more excuses. 285 00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:44,800 Whoa, boy, I could preach right there. 286 00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:50,960 I got to work. I got on to you for that this 287 00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:54,200 week, didn't I? I got to do this. 288 00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:56,920 I ain't got to do nothing but serve Jesus. 289 00:16:56,920 --> 00:16:59,240 Amen. And He'll take care of the rest. 290 00:16:59,920 --> 00:17:04,040 We look at it backwards. But you want me to carry this 291 00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:06,640 Son? What an obedient servant. 292 00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:11,599 Can I tell you if God speaks it through a prophet or through His 293 00:17:11,599 --> 00:17:15,400 Word, He can fulfill it. He will fulfill it. 294 00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:20,359 What's God calling you to do? Whatever He's spoken, when He 295 00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:23,240 speaks it, it becomes possible, right? 296 00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:28,079 Your impossible situation this morning only seems impossible. 297 00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:30,600 It's not impossible. Do like Joseph. 298 00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:32,920 What did Joseph do? He didn't complain. 299 00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:35,720 He didn't tell God what he didn't have to do what God had 300 00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:37,680 called him to do. He didn't complain. 301 00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:41,080 The Bible says in Scripture and translations you read, it says 302 00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:44,480 arise and he began to walk. Well, I like that. 303 00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:48,200 Arise and begin to walk. You see child of God when you 304 00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:51,880 get up and you arise and you begin to walk in the direction 305 00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:55,600 of the cross, the impossibility these begin to fall off of you. 306 00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:57,680 All things are possible with God. 307 00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:01,320 Begin to walk with me and it's impossible but with God nothing 308 00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:04,280 is impossible. See when you begin to arise and 309 00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:07,880 you begin to walk Isaiah 60 and one said y'all ain't helping me 310 00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:11,720 this morning. Isaiah 60 and one says arise and 311 00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:15,920 shine for the glory of the Lord has risen upon you as we 312 00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:19,400 celebrate the birth and we remember the chat this you need 313 00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:23,120 to remember this as a child of John God Jesus came so you can 314 00:18:23,120 --> 00:18:27,920 arise, so you can get up, so you you can begin to walk as Joseph 315 00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:30,680 thought it seemed impossible, but what did he do? 316 00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:33,720 He went forward no matter what the circumstance. 317 00:18:34,360 --> 00:18:40,520 See, when we get up and we begin to arise and let the glory of 318 00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:44,720 the Lord shine up on us, something great happens. 319 00:18:45,360 --> 00:18:49,480 Your impossible situation becomes possible because I'm 320 00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:52,240 walking, I'm not wallering. We like to Waller. 321 00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:55,240 We like to Waller. We like to talk about the 322 00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:57,040 situation. I see a lot of people, they 323 00:18:57,040 --> 00:18:59,160 really don't want through the situation. 324 00:18:59,360 --> 00:19:01,600 They want to Waller in the situation, right? 325 00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:04,120 Like the pig, it don't matter. You can clean him up and you can 326 00:19:04,120 --> 00:19:06,840 give him a bath and the first mud hole he sees, he's going 327 00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:08,600 back to it because he likes to Waller. 328 00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:13,200 We like to Waller instead of go through, but if you're God's 329 00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:16,800 child, wallering is not an option because you serve a God 330 00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:20,320 that is the God of the impossible and he takes people. 331 00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:24,200 Say it with me through. You will get through it. 332 00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:27,840 I know it may seem impossible, but you will get through it. 333 00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:32,040 We will get through it, whatever it is. 334 00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:35,320 I look back at all the things that God's brought me through. 335 00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:39,760 I went through it. Hey man, through it all. 336 00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:42,640 I want to know that He's taking care of me. 337 00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:44,160 I've been through a lot of stuff. 338 00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:48,040 Many of you have been through a lot of stuff and I think many 339 00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:50,360 people, God gets them through it. 340 00:19:50,360 --> 00:19:53,600 Are you ready for this? I said God gets them through it. 341 00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:57,400 God gets them through it. I love testimonies about going 342 00:19:57,400 --> 00:20:01,040 through, but a lot of testimony services you hear today they got 343 00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:03,640 through it, but they really acting like they want to go back 344 00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:08,840 and go through it again. What happens when God gets us 345 00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:11,800 through it? What happens? 346 00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:16,240 We got to get over it. See, God always going to get his 347 00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:19,160 children through. It may be scarred up, it may be 348 00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:23,360 banged up, it may be spiritually wounded, but God will always get 349 00:20:23,360 --> 00:20:27,280 us through it. But we in our responsibility is 350 00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:31,200 to get over it, right? We can either way, if it works 351 00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:35,240 out great and God performs a great miracle and we, we talk 352 00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:37,600 about what God did way back then, that's great. 353 00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:40,320 He got us through it. And we need to get over it and 354 00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:42,680 build on faith to go through something else. 355 00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:45,760 Because see, something happens when we don't do that. 356 00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:51,640 I think of Joseph, he went on and had a lot of kids with Mary. 357 00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:55,080 Jesus had brothers and sisters, but they were married. 358 00:20:55,120 --> 00:20:56,800 Amen. You spend a lot of time with 359 00:20:56,800 --> 00:21:03,080 your spouse and things come up, things that God has already got 360 00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:05,920 you through. In relationships, they come up. 361 00:21:06,360 --> 00:21:12,040 They don't get quiet. We got through it, but did we 362 00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:15,760 get over it? When something arises and you're 363 00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:20,120 losing an argument, come on. You don't got through it a long 364 00:21:20,120 --> 00:21:24,800 time ago but you have to bring it back up because you never got 365 00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:29,840 over it and it's no different and it ruins relationship. 366 00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:32,400 Come on, y'all been there boy. It doesn't like bringing it up 367 00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:35,320 when you know they was wrong and they're winning the argument and 368 00:21:35,360 --> 00:21:41,480 it's in the heat of the battle. After 34 years I've done learned 369 00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:45,560 there ain't no need to argue. It's going to affect me when I 370 00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:46,800 walk. Just let them win. 371 00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:51,800 But it's hard. I know she was wrong, God, but 372 00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:55,280 I'm going to get over it. I'm going to get through it and 373 00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:57,600 I'm going to walk home because it's not only going to just 374 00:21:57,600 --> 00:21:59,840 affect me and her, I'm going to see you. 375 00:21:59,840 --> 00:22:02,120 It's going to affect me and you. Because gosh, she was wrong. 376 00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:06,760 I got it right here on a text on the phone. 377 00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:09,400 She didn't tell me to pick that brand up at the store. 378 00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:14,760 She told me to get this brand Christmas presents. 379 00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:21,000 I told her a long time ago. I said you got me. 380 00:22:22,360 --> 00:22:29,240 You don't need a present. You got my love, you got my 381 00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:32,560 faithfulness. Don't base a relationship on a 382 00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:34,760 present. But everybody does it. 383 00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:39,000 Walk around mad for days. Well, can I just preach this 384 00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:41,320 this morning? Because it was the wrong size. 385 00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:43,000 It didn't fit. I'm not A5 no more. 386 00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:45,800 No, you're a SIM. But I I got to buy you a 5 so 387 00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:48,440 you can take it back and figure out for your own self that you 388 00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:57,000 that you ain't A7 no more. I thought you was a 2, but I got 389 00:22:57,000 --> 00:23:03,640 a 5 just in case. Come on, I got to preach to the 390 00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:05,000 men. See, it's hard thing up here. 391 00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:11,600 I can't pick on one side, but we got to get through it. 392 00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:17,640 But when you get through it, you got to get over it to be what 393 00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:21,000 God wants you to be and to do what God wants you to do. 394 00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:26,080 So you got to get through it. And when the God of the 395 00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:31,080 impossible that you're serving get you through it, I see a lot 396 00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:36,440 that have never got over it, never get over it. 397 00:23:38,120 --> 00:23:40,680 I see it all the time. Look at somebody and say, I got 398 00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:42,920 through it. Now I got to get over it. 399 00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:45,160 Now I got you ever look at your spouse? 400 00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:47,000 They get over it. You know, women are women and 401 00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:48,160 men are really good at doing that. 402 00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:52,000 When they know they're wrong. That means I know you're right 403 00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:53,480 and I'm wrong, but just get over it. 404 00:23:55,120 --> 00:23:58,600 Is that what it means? Can you picture Mary? 405 00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:01,800 I bet Mary was, I don't know. Was she lecturing Joseph? 406 00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:05,760 I didn't do anything wrong. You got to get over it. 407 00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:12,880 You got to get over it. I heard a preacher preaching one 408 00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:16,160 time face the same situation. He said he he did revivals and 409 00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:18,280 he said a lady come up she couldn't have a child. 410 00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:20,280 He said anointed with oil. We believed and he said I 411 00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:23,200 preached A revival there every year and he said I went back the 412 00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:26,480 next year, said she come running down the aisle, said she was big 413 00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:28,520 and waddling the next year said look what you did. 414 00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:33,520 He said, hold on, God did that. I prayed for you. 415 00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:37,200 The tabloids are feeling they go, wow, I didn't do that. 416 00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:42,040 Can you imagine being in Joseph's shoes? 417 00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:45,600 It's unbelievable. But see, here's the kicker. 418 00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:49,480 You ready for this? If I don't get over it, say it 419 00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:52,360 with me. By not getting over it, I 420 00:24:52,360 --> 00:24:56,240 actually place it back in front of me to go through it again. 421 00:24:57,920 --> 00:25:01,320 So I got to get over it. I don't need it back in front of 422 00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:04,040 me only to have to go through it again. 423 00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:06,520 I bet Joseph's never brought it up. 424 00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:09,760 He had Jesus for 12 years of his life. 425 00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:14,960 That is recorded possibly up until he was a late teenager or 426 00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:17,800 in his 30s. But you know, at at a young age, 427 00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:20,880 at 12 years, Jesus was already in the temple educating those 428 00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:23,360 that were educated, reeducating them. 429 00:25:24,440 --> 00:25:31,560 But we do not only do this in relationships, we do it to God. 430 00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:35,800 We do it to God. We bring up the time that he 431 00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:37,600 didn't do what we thought we should do. 432 00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:40,160 So now we're not going to do what he's told us to do. 433 00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:43,840 And we said around God, if you just send an Angel, your Angel 434 00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:47,280 will have an assignment and the assignment will be impossible. 435 00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:53,640 I tried that church stuff. I've heard, I hear it all the 436 00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:56,440 time. Number one, you tried it. 437 00:25:57,640 --> 00:26:01,160 You tried the church stuff. Try and don't get it done. 438 00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:05,080 Try and don't get it done. It takes a made-up mind. 439 00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:07,840 It takes getting you want to in line with you can do. 440 00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:13,600 You can't try it. Somebody needs to grab their 441 00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:16,560 ears and say I can't try it. I've got to do it. 442 00:26:16,560 --> 00:26:19,720 Hey man, I've tried that stuff God, and here's the here's what 443 00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:21,000 they said. The next thing comes out of 444 00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:23,680 their mouth. Nothing changed. 445 00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:26,400 You know my question Did you change? 446 00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:30,000 Did you give God more time? Did you read the word? 447 00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:32,320 Did you put him first place in your life? 448 00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:34,400 Did did you make him the Lord of your life and give him the 449 00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:36,560 lordship of your life? Did you do those things? 450 00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:39,720 If not, guess what? It don't matter how many pews or 451 00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:44,600 how long you sit. Because if you haven't changed, 452 00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:47,920 if you haven't made him the Lord of your life and made him Lord 453 00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:52,440 of all, odds are it's nothing going to change. 454 00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:55,440 Sure, He'll give us glimpses and things ahead, but he, he'll put 455 00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:58,480 you in a situation that you got to cut that looks impossible so 456 00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:00,560 you can come through it. And then when you come through 457 00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:03,880 it, you got to get over it. Joseph got over it. 458 00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:07,760 I've quit all my old habits and God still hadn't changed 459 00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:09,520 anything. We get real dignified. 460 00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:12,000 You know why? Because you did it. 461 00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:15,200 And if you did it though habits likely to stick its head up 462 00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:18,880 again and come back and separate you from God again and become 463 00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:23,360 the Lord of your life again. The impossible situations I'm 464 00:27:23,360 --> 00:27:30,960 preaching to you this morning. Yes, we get through it, but we 465 00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:35,280 must get over it. When we look at a as Joseph, as 466 00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:38,960 a parent of a child that he had for possibly 12 years, maybe 467 00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:41,960 more. Joseph was picked by God just as 468 00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:48,200 Mary at the most crucial time of Jesus life to keep him alive 469 00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:50,080 upon this earth. Because why were they running? 470 00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:52,800 Why was they to journey from Bethlehem to Egypt? 471 00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:54,960 Because, because Herod was trying to kill him. 472 00:27:56,880 --> 00:28:00,760 Were they already praying? Were they already seeking God? 473 00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:04,440 Maybe he had prayed that prayer. God just send me an Angel and if 474 00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:07,160 and, and if I see the Angel, I'll know what to do. 475 00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:11,560 Were they praying that prayer? What were they doing? 476 00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:14,040 I have, I have those, I have those questions. 477 00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:18,400 What about you? But see, all that Joseph done to 478 00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:22,400 bring eternal life to planet earth seemed impossible. 479 00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:28,400 We know that he was the son of Jacob through the lineage which 480 00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:31,000 Jesus would come. We know that he was the earthly 481 00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:34,800 father of Jesus, mentioned in only three accounts, Matthew, 482 00:28:35,080 --> 00:28:40,160 Luke and John. But his presence centers on the 483 00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:43,760 birth of Jesus, earthly life, but disappearing from the 484 00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:49,800 narrative of the birth of Christ being last mentioned when he was 485 00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:51,800 12 years old. It's a mystery. 486 00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:55,440 But Joseph faced impossible situations. 487 00:28:56,600 --> 00:28:59,880 But he got through it. He could say through it all. 488 00:28:59,880 --> 00:29:02,360 Can you imagine the testimony years later? 489 00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:06,120 I don't know how long he lives, but when he's an old man, when 490 00:29:06,120 --> 00:29:10,120 he's looking back, you know when when David was an old man, 491 00:29:10,120 --> 00:29:12,880 looking back, how many know the story of David what happened? 492 00:29:12,880 --> 00:29:16,640 He was dying and he was cold and he was freezing to death. 493 00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:19,480 And they put a young lady in the bed with him not to not to do 494 00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:23,080 anything but to keep him warm just to try the body just to try 495 00:29:23,120 --> 00:29:24,840 it. And yet David, all he could do 496 00:29:24,840 --> 00:29:28,720 in his last song was talking about how God had had brought 497 00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:31,600 him through the troop, how God had brought him through. 498 00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:34,760 And they even all the look at they go back and read the life 499 00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:37,120 of David. He had somebody murdered, 500 00:29:37,120 --> 00:29:40,880 committed a poultry, and his son had all the things that David 501 00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:43,520 did. David, God brought him through 502 00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:46,280 it, but David had to get over it to keep going forward. 503 00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:49,480 If you don't get over it, you will not go forward. 504 00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:55,640 You will not go forward. He faced impossible situations, 505 00:29:56,320 --> 00:30:01,000 not even mentioned the dad, the earthly father of Jesus Christ, 506 00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:03,680 not mentioned at the tomb. Where was he? 507 00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:07,480 What was he doing? I think it was a strong prayer 508 00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:10,160 warrior. I don't know what you're facing 509 00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:13,160 this morning. That seems like an impossible 510 00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:15,200 situation. But I dare say with this many 511 00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:19,040 people, somebody's facing something that seems impossible. 512 00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:22,680 But with God, all things are possible. 513 00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:29,880 Joseph had an impossible task to believe that what the Angel of 514 00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:34,080 the Lord said to him was of God. You know the same thing we do, 515 00:30:34,080 --> 00:30:37,160 we we hear things, but we have to discern, we have to know, is 516 00:30:37,160 --> 00:30:39,520 that of God or is that a world? Is it a good idea? 517 00:30:39,520 --> 00:30:41,840 Is it a God idea? What's going through my mind 518 00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:44,240 this morning? But you know the the key text 519 00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:46,720 there. Joseph said while he thought, 520 00:30:47,920 --> 00:30:52,000 don't let what you do know. Don't let what you don't know 521 00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:53,720 get in the way of what you do know. 522 00:30:54,760 --> 00:30:58,920 It even may have seemed insignificant, but by arising 523 00:30:58,920 --> 00:31:03,640 and by obeying God as you stand to your feet and keeping Jesus 524 00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:12,280 safe, He fulfilled prophecy.
