Opportunities Missed
00:03:41

|
| Joan, there was an opportunity that you missed that you wish you had taken. | |
| Do you want to share that with me? | |
| Well, there's, I'm going to share from a different standpoint. | |
| And in regards to the book, this is a book that will get you out of your comfort zone, all the dreams and visions that God's given you to do for him. | |
| Have you lived them all? | |
| Have you walked out of your comfort zone? | |
| Are you doing what you were born to do? | |
| 95 to 98% of the body of Christ are not doing that. | |
| And many times God has called us to do things and we don't think we're good enough. | |
| We don't think we're qualified. | |
| Thus, in turn, we don't do it. | |
| Where Gideon is like, you know, God's saying, God, mighty man of valor. | |
| And he's looking everywhere trying to figure out who God's talking to. | |
| When he realized he was talking to him, it kind of shocked him. | |
| And the same thing goes with me, is that there's many times where I was like, are you sure you have the right person? | |
| Because I was the, you know, the weakest, wimpiest, nonverbal person you could ever fathom, a lot heavier than I am now. | |
| And I've gone from morbid obese to obese, and now I'm a little overweight, so which is like a good place to be rather than otherwise. | |
| And all these things, and I've really realized who I am, not that I'm just Charles or Francis Hunter, but who I am and what God has called me to do. | |
| And many times opportunities are presented to us. | |
| I had a situation about 20 years ago, and there was a lady, and I told her, I said, you're off work right now. | |
| Go get your passport. | |
| I'll pay for it. | |
| And so a few months later, I got a call from this guy. | |
| He says, he says, I know you're going to England in two days, but I don't want you to go alone. | |
| I'll pay for somebody to go with you. | |
| I know it's going to be really expensive, but I don't want you to go alone. | |
| I said, wow, that is really nice. | |
| I called this lady and she goes, I didn't get my passport. | |
| And here we have a huge opportunity for her to go to England. | |
| She still doesn't have her passport, still hasn't been out of the country, missed a huge opportunity. | |
| God is calling us. | |
| And then one of the chapters in there is coulda, shouldas, and I could have done this and I, you know, should have done that. | |
| And all these things and all the regrets. | |
| God does not want us to have any regrets when we go to heaven. | |
| When we go to heaven, I don't want God to tell people, I had so much more for you, but you didn't do it. | |
| And I want God, when I go to heaven, to say, well done, thou good and faithful servant. | |
| I had nothing else for you to do because you did it all. | |
| You did everything I asked you to do. | |
| That is extremely fulfilling. | |
| And I want to encourage everybody, you have not walked out what God has called you to do in totality. | |
| And right now, God's giving you an opportunity to rebirth your dreams, dig them up. | |
| Many of them have been buried. | |
| You think, well, I'm too old to do that. | |
| Well, I had a lady the other day, 77 years old. | |
| She came in, heard me on Friday, sparked this idea that she had had 20 years ago. | |
|
77 And Magnificent
00:00:46
|
|
| She wanted to teach the children how to flag and worship the Lord. | |
| And she was discouraged then, but at 77, really discouraged. | |
| She heard my word. | |
| By Saturday afternoon, she had talked to her pastor and he says, Sunday, which was the next day, you can start teaching children how to flag and worship the Lord. | |
| At 77, God healed her body, healed her of arthritis. | |
| She started worshiping the Lord and flagging and different things like that. | |
| And it was absolutely magnificent. | |
| So anointed of God. | |
| But to actually get to the point where you can walk out your dreams, live your dreams, and dream some more. | |
| Amen? | |
