1
A while back, there was this challenge I was dealing with.
2
It had to do with our ministry and what we were going to do in the future.
3
I couldn't figure out how it was going to work out.
4
I studied it and made phone calls, got other people's advice, but there was still no solution.
5
Every time it came to my mind, it kind of bothered me.
6
I thought, what are we going to do?
7
I was tempted to live stressed and worried.
8
Finally, I said, God, I'm turning this over to you.
9
I can't make this work out my way, but I know you already have a solution, so I'm not going to live uptight.
10
I'm going to just keep being my best, honoring you.
11
Every time I was tempted to worry, Father, thank you that my life is in your hands.
12
Thank you that you're making my crooked places straight.
13
Sometimes we're frustrated because we're trying to control things that only God can control.
14
We're trying to figure something out that there is no answer to right now.
15
That's when we get frustrated, can't sleep at night.
16
The good news is God doesn't ask us to figure everything out.
17
You have to know what's your job and what's God's job.
18
Our job is to believe.
19
Our job is to thank God.
20
Our job is to walk in obedience.
21
The Scripture says God will work out
22
His plan for our lives.
23
God's job is to work things out that we can't work out.
24
You're not on your own.
25
The creator of the universe is working out his plan for your life.
26
His job is to open doors we can't open.
27
His job is to part Red Seas.
28
His job is to heal sick bodies.
29
His job is to make things happen that we can't make happen.
30
Are you frustrated because you're trying to do God's job?
31
Take the pressure off.
32
You don't have to make everything happen.
33
You just have to keep traveling steadily, staying faithful, being good to people, keeping God first place.
34
About two months ago, I was at the church and a staff member was passing by.
35
He said, I meant to tell you that thing that we were working on, we figured it out.
36
I said, what do you mean?
37
He said, I'll show you.
38
I went in and looked at it.
39
It was perfect.
40
Couldn't have been any better.
41
I thought this was going to be an ongoing challenge where it would take all this extra effort
42
and energy on my part.
43
But then without me even working on it, things fell into place.
44
I never dreamed it would be that easy.
45
That's what the scripture says.
46
If you'll keep traveling steadily, God will give you the land.
47
That means you don't have to struggle, strive, manipulate things, try to force it to work out.
48
it's going to be easier than you think.
49
Things are going to fall into place.
50
The right doors open.
51
The right people show up.
52
The school calls you with the scholarship.
53
The medical report suddenly turns around.
54
In the scripture, Joseph was engaged to a young lady named Mary.
55
An angel appeared to her and said she was going to have a baby without knowing a man, and they were to name him Jesus.
56
You can imagine how Joseph must have felt when Mary told him she was pregnant, not with his baby, but with the Messiah.
57
I'm sure he thought, yeah, right.
58
He was going to quietly call off the engagement, but that night an angel appeared to him in a dream.
59
He told Joseph that what
60
Mary said was true, that he was to go ahead with the marriage.
61
Joseph could have backed out, thought, God, I didn't sign up for this.
62
I don't want my reputation ruined.
63
Find somebody else.
64
But Joseph did what the angel said.
65
It was prophesied that Jesus would be born in Bethlehem.
66
The Roman emperor decided to take a census, everyone had to go to their hometown.
67
Joseph was from Bethlehem.
68
He loaded up
69
Mary on a donkey.
70
She was nine months pregnant.
71
They traveled from Nazareth to Bethlehem.
72
It would be one thing if this was across town, but this was a 90-mile journey.
73
It would take about 10 days.
74
I've seen what it's like for Victoria to be pregnant.
75
How uncomfortable, especially toward the end.
76
Her back was hurting, feet swelling.
77
I can't imagine telling her at nine months pregnant, honey, to fulfill prophecy, we have to get on a donkey and go 90 miles.
78
I think I would be hearing, welcome to heaven.
79
Sometimes God asks us to do things that are difficult.
80
Mary could have said, not getting on that donkey.
81
It's too bumpy.
82
My feet hurt.
83
You can go by yourself, but you never read where Mary complained.
84
You never read where Joseph was sour.
85
They just kept traveling steadily, doing what God asked them to do.
86
Day after day, getting on the donkey, dealing with the heat, finding a place to sleep at night.
87
God only spoke to them one time.
88
This whole trip, 90 miles, God never said anything.
89
Would have been much easier if the angel would have come back and said, you're doing great.
90
Keep going to Bethlehem.
91
You're right on track.
92
It's easy to follow God when you hear him speaking.
93
You have clear direction.
94
Things are going your way.
95
But the real test is, how do you respond when God is silent?
96
You don't hear anything.
97
You're doing the right thing, but it's not improving.
98
You're being your best, but doors aren't opening.
99
Months have gone by, maybe years, and you don't hear anything.
100
Here's the key.
101
Keep doing the last thing God told you to do.
102
Keep being consistent.
103
Keep being faithful.
104
Joseph and Mary finally arrived at Bethlehem.
105
I can imagine it was late at night.
106
Mary was getting close to having the baby.
107
Joseph walked up to the inn, the hotel.
108
He said, Mary, wait here.
109
I'll go arrange a room.
110
The innkeeper said, I'm sorry, sir.
111
We're full.
112
We have no more room.
113
Joseph could have thought, God, you said come to Bethlehem.
114
You said this was your baby.
115
Why is nothing working out?
116
Instead, Joseph went back out, told Mary to get back on the donkey.
117
They were tired, disappointed, uncomfortable, but they just kept traveling steadily.
118
God rewards faithful people, people that don't give up, People that don't let a disappointment cause them to be sour.
119
People that don't let a setback, a loss, a delay to stop their destiny.
120
When things happen that we don't understand, our attitude should be, Father, thank you that you are working out your plan for my life.
121
You are ordering my steps.
122
You are opening doors that no man can shut.
123
Thank you that you'll get me to where I'm supposed to be.
124
Don't let a bad break, a delay, a pandemic, a person that did you wrong
125
cause you to quit believing for your dreams and quit pursuing what God put in your heart.
126
You are full of can-do power.
127
The same spirit that raised
128
Christ from the dead lives in you.
129
You are not weak.
130
You are a warrior.
131
Now dig your heels in and be consistent, not just when everything is going your way, Not just when there's room at the end,
132
business is flourishing, but when the door closes, when the contract doesn't go through, when the journey is longer than you thought.
133
God is looking for people that are determined, people that have stamina.
134
You can't be weak and reach your destiny.
135
You can't be half-hearted and become who you were created to be.
136
God will be silent at times.
137
You don't hear anything.
138
Things are not improving.
139
You're on that donkey, so to speak.
140
Doors aren't opening.
141
What are you to do?
142
Keep being faithful.
143
Keep getting to work on time.
144
Keep singing in the choir.
145
Keep being good to those neighbors.
146
Keep thanking God when you feel like complaining.
147
If it was going to happen instantly, you wouldn't need any faith.
148
Don't be impatient for God to act.
149
Just because the inn is full doesn't mean there's not a place for your baby to be born.
150
Just because you've had a setback, somebody walked away, the medical report isn't good, doesn't mean that your dream is not going to come to pass.
151
What God promised you cannot be stopped by people, by circumstances, by bad breaks.
152
God wouldn't have allowed the end to be full if he didn't have something better.
153
My question is, are you going to keep traveling steadily?
154
Are you going to keep believing, keep praying, keep doing the right thing?
155
Joseph and Mary packed up, got back on the donkeys, disappointed but still moving forward,
156
tired, hungry, back hurting, but still traveling steadily.
157
Joseph looked up and saw this old barn where they kept animals.
158
Wasn't a nice hotel.
159
Didn't have a bellman out front.
160
No room service.
161
Just a manger where the sheep rest.
162
It wasn't what they had in mind.
163
But God doesn't always do things the way we have planned.
164
His ways are not our ways.
165
If you don't stay open, you'll be frustrated because they wouldn't let you in.
166
Upset because the door didn't open.
167
Can I tell you, God knows what he's doing.
168
When it's time to birth your baby, all the forces of darkness cannot keep you out.
169
There will be a place for you to shine, for you to flourish, for you to show this world what God put in you.
170
Now quit worrying about who wouldn't let you in, why this didn't work out, it wasn't fair.
171
You weren't supposed to be in the end.
172
They weren't supposed to have room for you.
173
Your blessing is not in the end, it's in the manger.
174
Your increase, your favor, your abundance is not in where you've been, it's in where God is taking you.
175
It's not in where you were left out, it's in where you're going.
176
Now do your part and start moving forward in faith.
177
Not bitter over disappointments, not discouraged over what didn't work out, not upset because it's taken longer.
178
There were delays and detours.
179
God is saying if you'll keep traveling steadily, being faithful when nobody is noticing, doing the right thing when it's uncomfortable,
180
not complaining because you don't see things changing, then you're going to give birth to dreams bigger than you've imagined.
181
God's going to do uncommon, unusual, extraordinary things.
182
The night Mary gave birth, there were shepherds out in a field.
183
An angel appeared to them and said, I have good news.
184
The Messiah has been born in Bethlehem.
185
This is how you will recognize him.
186
You will find him lying in a manger.
187
If the innkeeper had not turned Jesus away, he wouldn't have been in the manger.
188
The shepherds wouldn't have found him.
189
The inn was supposed to be full.
190
The innkeeper was supposed to not let them in.
191
Nothing that happens to you is a surprise to God.
192
He's ordering your steps.
193
If the door closed, it was supposed to close.
194
If the person walked away, they were supposed to walk away.
195
Don't get bitter.
196
Keep traveling steadily.
197
Keep doing the right thing.
198
Keep being good to people.
199
Keep expecting.
200
Keep believing.
201
When you get to your manger, so to speak, the shepherds are going to find you.
202
The blessings, the healing, the promotion will come to you.
203
Now my challenge, stay consistent.
204
Don't be ruled by your feelings.
205
Make up your mind.
206
You're not going to be moved by what's not changing, not discouraged over how long it's taking.
207
You're going to keep doing the right thing.
208
Prove to God that you're going to be faithful.

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?
Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
