Embracing New Seasons: Faith in Transition

1) "How many of you know that you can't progress in God if you are going to be stuck always hanging out in the old chapter? And we'll talk about how to take the good of that chapter with and leave the past in the past. So he said, don't remember the former things, neither consider the things of old. Look at the next verse. And it said, behold, I do a what? A new thing. You know, God always, every single day of your life, God is always trying to advance you into something new. He's always trying to, come on, think about it. Today is a new day. Right?" [02:33] (40 seconds) (Download raw clip | Download cropped clip)


2) "God always makes a way forward. And I wanted to talk about this because we're getting ready to move over into this new tabernacle. We're turning a page, so to speak. And we have to know how to walk that out. We have to know how to go in those places. So, maybe you're here today and you personally are embarking on something fresh. Maybe it's a new opportunity. Maybe you're looking at a new job. Or you're starting a new ministry. Or you're writing a book for the first time. Whatever assignment that God has given you. Or maybe you're in here and you're in a new season and you say, you know, God, I didn't ask for this. You didn't want it. Maybe you lost something."

3) "God always, always, always has something good in store. Come on. Where there is a God, there's always a beautiful future. So I want you to know that. So we're going to talk about this with Israel a little bit today and learn how to literally turn the page from an old season into a new one. And boy, I'll tell you, we have walked through so many different turnings of the page from the time this ministry started. You know, in fact, when we get into the tabernacle, we're going to show kind of a history video of when we first began." [10:52] (40 seconds) (Download raw clip | Download cropped clip)


4) "Recognize that God is going to show us sometimes that seasons have ended. Maybe we didn't want it to end, or maybe we did. But know this, that whatever the season is, if God is closing a door, we have to accept that, right? And realize that we are going to have to take on the challenges that come with the new thing. You know, I look at this tabernacle, sometimes I walk through it, and I can see there's greater responsibility. I thought, well, dear Lord, we're all going to have to get tennis shoes to come to church to walk around in here." [15:20] (31 seconds) (Download raw clip | Download cropped clip)


5) "There comes a moment when the weeping must end. You cannot continue to relive the past. Come on, somebody. You have to set it aside because you'll take that with you. And God finally said, you know what? There's going to come a time of weeping, but then the time of weeping has to end. And, you know, the worst thing we can do, and I'll just say this. I think the worst thing we can do for ourselves is to regurgitate old hurtful memories. That is the worst thing you can do for yourself."

6) "If God's closing a door to something in your life, yeah, it might feel harsh at times. But that doesn't mean that God doesn't have a blessing on the other side. ever, you've got to turn the page. You know, there's not any. Nobody reads a good book without going forward. Right? How many of you ever read a good book and you stay up at night and you think, oh, just one more page? Well, that's what God is saying in our life sometimes, right? He's saying just one more page." [26:17] (31 seconds) (Download raw clip | Download cropped clip)


7) "Now, underline these words. It says, and Joshua. And is a conjunction, right? It's attaching something. And Joshua. Now, watch this. This is so good. God is showing them that there's going to be grace for where they're going. They didn't know it, but he knew it. There's going to be grace. He said, Joshua, the son of Nun, was full of the spirit of wisdom. Do you know there'll be grace and guidance wherever you're going? God will help you. There'll be wisdom there."

8) "Nothing can stop your destiny. Nothing. Touch yourself. Say self. Nothing. Can stop your destiny. Now, the only thing that can stop it is you if you choose to get out of it. If you keep going back, you won't obtain the future. Nothing can stop you. The Bible says in Hebrews chapter 13, it says, the Lord's my helper. I don't have to be cared for. But people can do to me. God's my helper. People say, Pastor Hank, how can you stand up in front of the nation and prophesy and do? Because the Lord's my helper and I don't have to fear what people."
