WEBVTT

00:07.836 --> 00:11.186
Psalm 90:7-12

00:11.186 --> 00:12.546
for we have been consumed

00:12.546 --> 00:13.456
by Your anger

00:13.456 --> 00:14.436
and by Your wrath

00:14.436 --> 00:15.736
we've been dismayed

00:15.736 --> 00:17.726
You've placed our iniquities before You

00:17.726 --> 00:18.626
our secret sins

00:18.626 --> 00:20.066
in the light of Your presence

00:20.066 --> 00:21.656
for all our days have declined

00:21.656 --> 00:22.986
in Your fury

00:22.986 --> 00:25.546
we have finished our years like a sigh

00:25.546 --> 00:26.846
as for the days of our life

00:26.846 --> 00:28.726
they contain 70 years

00:28.726 --> 00:31.316
or if due to strength 80 years

00:31.316 --> 00:34.446
yet their pride is but labor and sorrow

00:34.446 --> 00:37.336
for soon it is gone and we fly away

00:37.336 --> 00:38.516
who understands the power

00:38.516 --> 00:39.496
of Your anger

00:39.496 --> 00:40.746
and Your fury according to

00:40.746 --> 00:42.286
the fear that is due You

00:42.286 --> 00:44.626
so teach us to number our days

00:44.626 --> 00:46.476
that we may present to You

00:46.476 --> 00:48.296
a heart of wisdom

00:48.296 --> 00:50.436
the most amazing thing about this

00:50.436 --> 00:52.636
this Psalm was not written by David

00:52.636 --> 00:54.336
this was written by Moses

00:54.336 --> 00:56.916
when he was about 80 years old

00:56.916 --> 00:58.726
and what he's saying here is

00:58.726 --> 01:02.456
the life of a man is 70 years

01:02.456 --> 01:04.825
80 if you're really blessed and strong

01:04.825 --> 01:06.306
Moses was about 80

01:06.306 --> 01:07.856
he's lamenting

01:07.856 --> 01:09.326
at the end of his life

01:09.326 --> 01:10.986
saying not much has

01:10.986 --> 01:13.296
been accomplished

01:13.296 --> 01:16.856
God I've had a lot of problems

01:16.856 --> 01:19.076
I've sinned a lot

01:19.076 --> 01:20.276
I've not really

01:20.276 --> 01:22.446
accomplished much of anything

01:22.446 --> 01:23.886
many people feel like that

01:23.886 --> 01:25.546
here he is 80 years old saying that

01:25.546 --> 01:26.936
the most amazing thing

01:26.936 --> 01:28.296
how long did Moses live?

01:28.296 --> 01:29.636
120

01:29.636 --> 01:30.926
when did all the good stuff

01:30.926 --> 01:32.226
happen in his life?

01:32.226 --> 01:35.586
between 80 and 120

01:35.586 --> 01:38.186
the first 40 years of Moses life

01:38.186 --> 01:39.466
he lived in Egypt

01:39.466 --> 01:41.046
as a somebody

01:41.046 --> 01:43.926
I mean he was in the Pharaoh's court

01:43.926 --> 01:45.436
he was the son of Pharaoh

01:45.436 --> 01:47.616
he was an important man

01:47.616 --> 01:49.826
and then the next 40 years

01:49.826 --> 01:51.716
he lived as a nobody

01:51.716 --> 01:54.396
in the desert herding sheep

01:54.396 --> 01:56.162
really nobody knew him

01:56.162 --> 01:57.292
no notoriety

01:57.292 --> 01:58.412
so the first 40 years

01:58.412 --> 01:59.812
he was a somebody

01:59.812 --> 02:00.862
the second 40 years

02:00.862 --> 02:01.922
he was a nobody

02:01.922 --> 02:04.142
the third 40 years

02:04.142 --> 02:06.752
he found out what God could do

02:06.752 --> 02:09.301
with a nobody

02:09.301 --> 02:11.322
the most amazing thing is this Psalm

02:11.322 --> 02:12.382
when you read Psalm 90

02:12.382 --> 02:14.162
I encourage you read the whole Psalm

02:14.162 --> 02:15.362
this was written by Moses

02:15.362 --> 02:16.722
when he was 80 years old

02:16.722 --> 02:19.062
and he thought his life was about over

02:19.062 --> 02:20.622
and he goes teach us

02:20.622 --> 02:21.812
to number our days

02:21.812 --> 02:23.012
that we can....

02:23.012 --> 02:23.772
I hope I've learned

02:23.772 --> 02:25.472
some wisdom here LORD

02:25.472 --> 02:26.752
I hope something has happened

02:26.752 --> 02:27.822
within these 80 years

02:27.822 --> 02:28.912
but not much

02:28.912 --> 02:30.662
he thougth his life was over

02:30.662 --> 02:32.722
and here's my message to you today

02:32.722 --> 02:36.052
your best days are ahead of you

02:36.052 --> 02:38.065
you might be already 80 years old

02:38.065 --> 02:40.015
maybe you're 90

02:40.015 --> 02:41.725
your best days are ahead of you

02:41.725 --> 02:42.885
why is that?

02:42.885 --> 02:44.865
because God has a destiny

02:44.865 --> 02:45.955
for everyone of us

02:45.955 --> 02:47.075
and God will accomplish

02:47.075 --> 02:48.655
something through us

02:48.655 --> 02:50.575
as we just open ourselves to Him

02:50.575 --> 02:52.915
so what happened really

02:52.915 --> 02:54.845
in Moses life it took 80 years

02:54.845 --> 02:57.295
for him to be emptied of self

02:57.295 --> 02:58.415
in the first 40 years

02:58.415 --> 02:59.725
he was full of self

02:59.725 --> 03:00.845
in the second 40 years

03:00.845 --> 03:01.975
he was emptied of self

03:01.975 --> 03:04.305
and then the third 40 years

03:04.305 --> 03:07.425
God used a man who was devoid of self

03:07.425 --> 03:08.955
empty of self who said

03:08.955 --> 03:10.445
God I can't do anything

03:10.445 --> 03:12.765
but if you could use me I'm available

03:12.765 --> 03:14.395
and God used him powerfully

03:14.395 --> 03:16.475
I believe God will use you powerfully

03:16.475 --> 03:17.264
that same way

03:17.264 --> 03:18.724
maybe you're 20 years old

03:18.724 --> 03:19.834
and you're looking forward

03:19.834 --> 03:20.874
to many things in life

03:20.874 --> 03:22.834
for sure your best days are ahead

03:22.834 --> 03:24.174
or maybe you're 60

03:24.174 --> 03:25.614
or 50 or 70

03:25.614 --> 03:26.604
I want to tell you

03:26.604 --> 03:28.094
your best days are ahead

03:28.094 --> 03:29.694
everything that you've learned

03:29.694 --> 03:30.484
up to now

03:30.484 --> 03:32.484
every experience you've had

03:32.484 --> 03:34.234
adversity you've faced

03:34.234 --> 03:36.114
things that have overcome you

03:36.114 --> 03:37.114
things that you've overcome

03:37.114 --> 03:38.614
have been preparation

03:38.614 --> 03:39.914
for what God

03:39.914 --> 03:41.814
is about to release in your life

03:41.814 --> 03:44.854
your best days are ahead of you

03:44.854 --> 03:46.254
so Father I pray for

03:46.254 --> 03:47.734
everyone listening today

03:47.734 --> 03:50.114
that we would grab hold of hope

03:50.114 --> 03:51.623
Father that every one of us

03:51.623 --> 03:53.533
would get a vision

03:53.533 --> 03:54.783
of your future

03:54.783 --> 03:56.403
things that you spoke to us

03:56.403 --> 03:59.613
God says this to somebody listen

03:59.613 --> 04:01.993
not one word that God has spoken

04:01.993 --> 04:03.273
to you that has not yet

04:03.273 --> 04:04.893
come to pass will fall to the ground

04:04.893 --> 04:06.293
without accomplishing the purpose

04:06.293 --> 04:07.693
for which it was sent

04:07.693 --> 04:09.053
God will accomplish every thing

04:09.053 --> 04:10.513
that He's said to you

04:10.513 --> 04:12.203
and I believe that's a specific

04:12.203 --> 04:13.943
Rhema word for somebody

04:13.943 --> 04:14.923
God says to you

04:14.923 --> 04:19.093
yes many things I've spoken to you

04:19.093 --> 04:20.843
and they have not yet come to pass

04:20.843 --> 04:23.363
God says I'm not yet finished

04:23.363 --> 04:24.543
I'm not finished

04:24.543 --> 04:27.783
your best days are ahead

04:27.783 --> 04:29.863
Amen
