Have you ever played those trivia games… asking random questions….

What song was recorded by 3 different artists and all had it on the billboard charts…

Marvin Gaye Gladys Knight and the Pips and credence clear water

NFL - 2 more days

Everything you need to know is just before you… you just don’t know it yet.

Think of every bible character and what they needed to know… they did not know it until they knew it and didn’t know it until they knew it… Im not trying to be funny or witty - its just the truth.

Abraham and Sara were told she would have a baby… she was 90 when she had it…

- she knew she was to have a baby

She wanted to have a baby

She waited to have a baby

But what she didn’t know was that it would take until she was 90… thats what would have helped… but she didn’t know it until she knew it.

Joseph was going to lead the then known free world and be the second most powerful man in the world…

He knew this…

What he didn’t know was he would be betrayed

He did not know he would be lied about

He did not know he would be accused and jailed

He did not know he would be forgotten…

He did not know he would lead the world, reunite his family, his brothers would kneel before him…

What he did not know was all that needed to happen in order for Gods vision to be fulfilled.

Its what he did not know that was before him that he needed to know, but did not know until it happened.

I can confuse you even more with the story of Issac, Paul, Peter, John, the demoniac…

The point is… you need to know more in order to attain and obtain all God has for you. But you don’t know it yet because you don’t know it yet.

Ok, garth just for kicks and giggles lets pretend I understand what you are saying… how do I do this exactly.

Don’t give up. You will never know what you need to know if you give up. And if you don’t give up… in time you will realize what you did not know and now in fact do know… and what it actually meant for your destiny.

I wanted my sister to live

I wanted my first church plant to explode

I wanted my marriage to be perfect

I wanted to be the healthiest person I know

I wanted to have everyone I pray for healed

But what I did not know in those areas is now what I know and the mission it has launched me in.

How did I end up knowing…? I did not give up. I kept serving him regardless of the outcomes, regardless of the situation I found myself in, I kept loving him regardless of my circumstances.

Do you really want to know? Do you? Then you will be willing to wait until you know.
