If you’re dealing with failure, depression, uncertainty, rejection, or disappointment…this is for you.
and I came to declare today to everybody
who’s been going through a season of
failure or depression or uncertainty or
rejection or disappointment let the dirt
do it’s work don’t fight it
don’t run from it and don’t pluck up the
seed cuz you don’t like the season let
the dirt do it’s work this is the
gospel of Jesus Christ
this is what the kingdom of God is like
there’s nothing man can do to you that God cannot use for his good and I believe
that I believe that all things work
together for the good of them that love
the Lord and are called according to his
purpose but I don’t always know how I
don’t have to know how cuz I know who
the emphasis on Romans 8:28 isn’t on
things all things work together for the
good the emphasis is not on good cuz it
might not feel good and I might not know
how it’s good while I’m in it the
emphasis of Romans 8:28 is that I’m
called that I love God and I’m called
according to his purpose
so his purpose is the promise that lets
me know that it seems insignificant that
to me it’s invisible and I don’t know
how but I know everybody who wants to
praise God for it I’m gonna give you 30
seconds to do what you need to do
maybe your neighbor doesn’t want this
word maybe they want to let a bird
snatch it or a thorn choke it but there
are some people here who have been in
the ground for a little while and I
prophesy resurrection to every person
who’s been in a depression you’ve been
in a funk you’ve been in a failure the
devil said it was it but Sunday came
where you at Matthews where you at
Ballantyne where you at UC you
know what’s crazy I’m calling out all
these campuses and somehow they see me
on their screens and I don’t know how
but I don’t have to know how and you
know what somehow I’m preaching this
word and it’s getting in your heart and
God’s gonna use it and it won’t return
void but it will accomplish what God
sent it to do but his ways are higher
than my ways and his thoughts than my thoughts
I don’t have to know I just have to sow I just have to go I don’t have to know
I don’t know how I’m gonna make it but I
don’t have to know how I don’t know who
God’s gonna use to get me through this
but I don’t have to know how it might be
manna that falls from the sky it might
be a widow at Zarephath that God uses to
feed me it might be a little boy’s lunch
that I didn’t even count in the official
total because I thought he was
insignificant but the seed always looks
small God might use a little boy a
little thing the littlest thing I don’t
have to know how and some of you are
stuck because you need to know too much
you need to be perceived as someone who
knows and so you remain in darkness you
want to be perceived as someone who
understands things that the soil
represents uncertainty and I think it’s
good every once in a while for us to
hear a sermon where the farmer admits I
don’t even know how come on cuz if you
had to call somebody who just lost their
child in a car wreck like I have to do
often and you were telling them that
God is gonna get you through this you
wouldn’t be so quick to tell them how I
don’t know how but I pray right now in
the name of Jesus that the God of all
comfort that’s who would surround you
with his angels that’s who I don’t know
how but I know whom I have believed so I
pray I sow I scatter some seed gets
snatched some seed gets scorched some
seed gets strangled that’d make a good
sermon wouldn’t it they all start with
the letter S
and the temptation is when the seed is
scattered but it does not produce you
never want to sow again so then you
prayed and the cancer still ate their
body what’s to make you ever want to
pray again so you stopped sowing you
stopped expecting you had a funeral and
stopped expecting a harvest the business
failed that one child is on drugs and
you got very confused about the
difference between God’s job and your
job obedience is the job of the farmer
Jesus is not the farmer in this parable
he’s the seed he’s the seed he is the seed
of God and he was planted in the soil of
the earth for three days and his
resurrection gives us an expectation
that we don’t have to understand the
events of our life to walk in a posture
I think it’s better sometimes that we
don’t know I think it’s better sometimes
that we stay in a state of uncertainty
so that we don’t get confused and think
that we’re the seed that we’re the
source I pray that this message has been
practical today and you’ll be able to
take something from it for your life but
really I think it’s supposed to be
prophetic that doesn’t mean a crystal
ball or a 900 number to me that means
that you receive this seed personally
it’s all about the soil and if this seed
gets snatched or scorched by the trials
of life or choked out by the
deceitfulness of riches the cares of
this life or the desire for other things
it will be as if it was never sown and
it’ll be just another seed just another
pep talk
just another Bible lesson if you receive
this seed though I’m trying to tell you
that God has set you free of the
expectation to understand obedience is
your job outcome is God’s let him do his
job
let him do his job let the dirt do its
work
let the sufferings of this present time
produce in you a glory that is not worthy
to be compared in comparison is so much
bigger than that dirt some of
you are in a dirt stage right now of
your dream the first thing that happened
to Joseph when God gave him a dream do
you remember
they held a parade in his honor huh he
printed up his business cards and started
handing them out huh
he got 4 million followers on Instagram
huh they threw him in a pit every
promise needs a pit every dream needs
dirt your faith needs fertilizer all by
itself the ground produces grain water
it plow it get your heart right
and let the dirt the rejection the
insecurity the confusion
God is not the author of confusion God
did not reject you but he would use
Genesis 50:20 what you meant for evil
God intended it for good and the saving
of many lives let the dirt do its work
