Summary
Bishop Henry Fernandez challenges believers to stop merely dreaming and start acting with boldness, trusting that God has already provided the resources and instructions necessary for their next season. Using the story of a couple who ignored their inheritance and the disciples' miraculous catch, he illustrates that shifting from fear to faith-filled action is the key to unlocking untapped potential.
Key points
- •Boldness is not the absence of fear, but trusting God in the midst of it as described in Psalm 56.
- •Many people remain experts in their field but stay 'on land' because they are paralyzed by mourning past failures or mourning what they have lost.
- •God has already provided the 'will' and the 'email' (His Word and the Holy Spirit's promptings) containing the resources we need, but we must take action to claim them.
- •Success often requires changing your approach from a worldly way to God's way (casting the net to the right side) rather than changing your location.
- •Failure is often a necessary step in the process of success; obedience to God's instructions must be persistent even when the first attempt doesn't seem to work.
Scripture
Faith
Purpose
Holy Spirit
Spiritual Growth
Perseverance
Life application
Identify one dream or goal you have been 'talking about' for over a year without taking action. This week, 'check your email' by reading the promises of Scripture and take one concrete, bold step of faith toward that goal, refusing to let the fear of past failure stop you.
Reflection questions
- What past disappointment or 'storm' are you still mourning that is keeping you from your next move?
- In what areas of your life have you been 'casting your net on the left side' (using worldly methods) instead of following God's specific instructions?
- Are there 'unread messages' from God-promises in His Word or promptings from the Spirit-that you have been ignoring due to busyness?
- How would your actions change this week if you truly believed that failure is just a part of the process leading to your God-given purpose?

0:04if you don't mind would you all stand
0:06for prayer
0:09father we thank you for this moment
0:14this moment of us saying yes
0:18yes to whatever
0:20your will is for our lives
0:25sometimes the reason why we can't say
0:27yes is because we are uncertain
0:31we're fearful
0:34sometimes it is
0:37the responsibility of life
0:41[Music]
0:42and honestly for some of us we just
0:46don't know how to say yes
0:49[Music]
0:51because no one has ever pushed us into
0:53our purpose
0:57very few people
1:00help us to find our potential to become
1:03the best version
1:05of who you created us to be
1:09in fact many of us can say
1:11all we constantly hear is how
1:16bad we are
1:18how we
1:20just don't quite get it
1:22[Music]
1:25our flaws
1:29our past
1:31the mistakes we have made
1:34and so it's very difficult for some of
1:37us to say yes because
1:39not quite often we are told
1:43why we should say yes
1:46and to what we're saying yes to
1:50so this morning you've brought us into
1:53this environment
1:54physically and virtually
1:58to answer
2:01the question of will we say yes to you
2:05now we give you permission to speak to
2:08us because you never force yourself on
2:10us
2:12we are ready and willing to hear from
2:15you
2:16so speak to us
2:19we promise we'll never be distracted we
2:21promise our thoughts we'll never Wonder
2:24but we'll zoom in on what you have to
2:27say this morning
2:30because our future hangs on this very
2:33moment
2:35and so we ask that you would speak to us
2:40anoint me today as I've prepared to
2:43deliver this word
2:45let it come with Clarity and with power
2:49in Jesus name and if you're in agreement
2:52come up with a clapping of your hands
3:00and you may be seated
3:03in the presence of the Lord
3:05I want to challenge all of you this
3:08morning to be bold

3:25be courageous
3:27scripture from Psalm 56 verses 3 and 4.
3:34the Bible tells us
3:36when I am afraid I put my trust
3:41in you
3:43in God whose word I praise
3:46in God I trust and I am not
3:51afraid
3:54did you get that
3:56let me read it again
3:58when I am afraid because that that
4:01happens to all of us
4:03we become fearful from time to time
4:07fearful of our circumstances
4:10fearful of what the future will hold for
4:12us
4:13fearful about whether or not we're ever
4:16going to succeed and make it in life
4:20so the psalmist is declaring when I'm
4:22afraid because it happens to every one
4:25of us it doesn't matter how it looks
4:28like externally things are going great
4:31for you and you have no problems
4:33when I am afraid I put my trust in you
4:38and Only You O Lord
4:41and God whose word I praise because I
4:46cannot trust some people's word
4:50but I can trust your word god
4:54and God
4:55I trust
4:57now not be afraid I'll not be afraid to
5:00step out in faith and do the things that
5:03I'm called to do
5:06I want to share this story with you at
5:09the beginning
5:10of a brand new year a couple decided
5:13that they will sail the oceans of the
5:18Caribbean
5:19to explore its beauty
5:24you see when he came to the ocean life
5:29there were no novice
5:31to Ocean living
5:34both had worked for a man who owned a
5:37yacht
5:38and their job was to take care of the
5:42aunt
5:43they had done this for more than 25
5:45years and after 25 years of serving and
5:49taking care of another man's boat
5:52life happened
5:54and so they were forced to adjust their
5:58lifestyle and figure out what their next
6:01move would be
6:04as they started another phase of their
6:07life on land away from the ocean each
6:11weekend they did something unique they
6:14would go down to the beach to watch the
6:16beautiful sunrise and sunset
6:21and speak affirmatively that one day
6:24they would once again sail and explore
6:28the oceans of the Caribbean
6:31they would do that
6:34only then it would be on their terms
6:39and on their schedule
6:42because after all they work for this man
6:44on his term
6:46on his schedule
6:49this couple did every thing right for 25
6:54years
6:56but things happened
6:59and it changed the Outlook the outcome
7:02of their lives
7:05and every Saturday for an entire year
7:09they would go and dream of what they
7:13would hope to do one day on their term
7:17and their schedule
7:19they knew what they wanted to do and
7:22they had the skills to make it happen
7:25yet they did nothing for 20
7:32of excuse me for 12 long months
7:36they knew what to do
7:39but for 12 long months
7:41they did nothing they talked about it
7:45they dreamed about it
7:47they they declared it in the atmosphere
7:51but for 12 long months
7:55they did nothing
7:57what I want you to see here ladies and
7:59gentlemen is that both of these people
8:01had worked on a yacht for over 25 years
8:05and have Faithfully served their
8:07employer for those years
8:10they had endured multiple storms and
8:13they had learned what to do while
8:16navigating the ocean sadly one day the
8:19owner of the yacht died and after his
8:22death
8:23the couple was told by the man's
8:26attorney that he the attorney
8:29would be contacting them via email
8:34the couple was so devastated by the
8:37death of their employer that they
8:39decided to take a break from the ocean
8:41because that's what happens to us when
8:44when life hits us in a negative way
8:49we tend to want to take a break and to
8:52step back and and to recalibrate if you
8:56will
8:57and this couple did exactly that
9:01after being devastated they decided I
9:04want to take a break
9:06to go live on land
9:09while we figure out what our next move
9:12will be however a whole year went by
9:16without them making any decision has
9:19what their next move
9:22would be even though every Saturday they
9:26would go to the beach and declare what
9:28their desires were notice this
9:33no actions
9:35were taken
9:37they didn't make the decision
9:39should we really do this we've been
9:42talking about it should we just go
9:46and sail the oceans of the Caribbean
9:51notice these four things about this
9:53couple
9:54they were experts regarding ocean life
9:59they were experts I submit to you today
10:02ladies and gentlemen that most of you
10:05the things that you believe in God for
10:07and the dreams that you're hoping to
10:10fulfill
10:12you're really an expert at it
10:15God will never push you into something
10:18that is not equipped you to do
10:22you're an expert
10:24might I remind you your life
10:26circumstances has prepared you
10:30for your next move
10:32what do you think you went through all
10:34the stuff you've been through

10:39on a shot and God Was preparing them
10:43for what's next everything you have gone
10:47through and are currently going through
10:50is preparation for your next move
10:55so they were experts regarding ocean
10:58life number two life circumstances
11:01caused them to feel a sense of
11:04uncertainty and face the reality that
11:08they had to make a decision number three
11:12they knew what they wanted and they
11:16declared what they wanted that's good
11:18number three or number four no action
11:23was taken to move forward
11:26to accomplish
11:28what they wanted
11:30what this couple didn't realize was they
11:34had all the tools and resources at their
11:38disposal
11:40to explore
11:42the Caribbean
11:44and even more
11:46in spite of them weighed in in spite of
11:49them declaring
11:51everything they needed
11:55was right there
11:57who's right there
12:00and so often you and I find ourselves
12:03hoping to do things
12:06and God is looking at us and he's saying
12:10but I've given you the skills
12:13I've prepared you for the moment
12:16just be bold
12:19take a leap of faith
12:22step out of your comfort zone
12:24and just do it

12:34explore the unchartered Waters along
12:37this journey
12:39of our faith trust in God for his
12:44perfect will for our lives trust in God
12:49that he somehow will work things out in
12:53our favor you see these two people made
12:56a couple of big mistakes number one

13:43go of the failures and the circumstances
13:48of Life number two they spent a whole
13:51year talking about what they wanted they
13:55stayed on land the entire year looking
14:00out at the ocean hoping to do something
14:04watch this life trained them to do
14:12Are you standing at a place
14:16where God's anointing has expired
14:21what he's trying to tell you
14:23step out from where you are
14:27you are not a dry land believer
14:32your anointing is to explore the ocean
14:36of this Faith Life
14:39to step out in faith and before you die
14:43to tap into your potential to discover
14:47everything that God has purposed for you
14:51to live on the earth and that's a good
14:54place to give him praise
14:55[Applause]
15:01they had the skills the experience and
15:05yes they had the financial resources to
15:09make it happen
15:11but sadly they didn't they knew how to
15:15sail a yacht and again they had the
15:18experience of being on the ocean
15:20enduring storms and even seeing the
15:25ocean come at a standstill there were
15:29Masters at this they had seen many
15:32sunrises and they had watched the sun go
15:36down
15:37day after day
15:41after day
15:43they understood the weather patterns and
15:46even knew how to handle difficulties
15:49that arose at sea
15:51but in this new phase of their lives
15:56they couldn't figure out what to do
16:01are you figuring out what to do in this

16:24are you telling me that God
16:27created you and nothing that he created
16:30has any flaws in it
16:34that there's
16:35nothing greater for you
16:38that that's how your story is going to
16:41end
16:42that that you you're going to die
16:44leaving here untapped
16:50are you telling me God made a mistake
16:52that somehow maybe he favored Henry over
16:55you maybe he favored Mary over you and
16:59you're just an afterthought are you
17:01telling me nothing good can come out of
17:04Nazareth
17:07who told you
17:10that your next move won't be great

17:19and cast your faith into something that
17:22though it May Scare You who told you
17:25that this time it wouldn't work I just
17:27hope that you will be bold for one
17:30moment in your life

22:22skills to handle
22:24what they were dreaming about
22:27they have the tools to get it done
22:30they have the resources to accomplish it
22:32but never bothered to look and see
22:37where it was all coming from
22:42somehow they couldn't find the boldness
22:46or the wisdom to take action
22:49even while they were disappointed
22:53grieving living with uncertainty and
22:57word about
22:59how they were going to fund their next
23:02dream

23:17when they have allowed life
23:18circumstances
23:20to cause them
23:24to go in a cave like David
23:29hiding from everybody
23:32some of you are hiding from the sources
23:35and people that God have sent to bless
23:38you
23:44this couple was doing exactly that and I
23:46wonder how many of you are like this
23:50couple today you're always talking about
23:52where you want to go
23:54and what you want to accomplish but you

24:01disappointments your grief and your
24:03failures they have kept you from
24:05checking your email
24:08checking the messages that God have sent
24:11you the new opportunities if you will
24:14the sudden blessings The Good Samaritans
24:17that God have sent you away the
24:20Salvation that he has to offer you

24:53talking about a lot of things that you
24:55believe in God for but your faith has no
24:58action
24:59absolutely no action in it for some of
25:03you you lack the courage to believe that
25:05your God has already provided everything
25:07you need in order to explore what life
25:11has to offer you this couple didn't know
25:15that the yacht they had been taken care
25:17of for 25 years
25:20was now docked watch this at one of the
25:24islands of the Caribbean
25:26waiting for them just to claim it
25:29they're on land
25:31looking out in the ocean and somewhere
25:35in the ocean
25:37somewhere down the oceans of the
25:40Caribbean
25:41there was a yacht
25:44waiting for them to claim
25:48but they didn't
25:50they didn't claim it they didn't know
25:54what was waiting for them on the other
25:57side what God has released in their
26:00lives and right now
26:02you are at the end of the the first
26:06quarter of this year
26:08the beginning of a brand new month
26:11and what I want to know
26:14are you willing to change your approach
26:17in life
26:20and be
26:22old

26:30okay I've been hurt
26:32okay I've had a couple of failures okay
26:35I may have you know lack of resources
26:38whatever but I'm going to be bold and if
26:42my father says he has blessed me if my
26:46father says he has made some promises to
26:48me I'm bold enough to believe
26:51that if God says I'm blessed
26:56then I'm blessed
26:58are you with me
27:00so I don't know who this is for
27:03but you have to take a leap of faith
27:05today in this season of your life and be
27:08bold to follow what God is telling you
27:11to do please hear me there's a reason
27:14why this message was sent to you today

27:26to Hope rather than settle in for fear I
27:31got to say it again it's time you look
27:33to Hope rather than settle in for fear I
27:36have to say it again for somebody it's
27:38time you look to Hope rather than
27:42settling for fear stop being fearful
27:46fear will always tell you what you can't
27:49do
27:51it will always distract you from keeping
27:54you and keeping you from checking in

29:28in going fishing
29:30there's an ocean
29:33out there in our faith Journey
29:36and we've been talking about we want
29:39everything that God has for us and
29:42there's plenty because we've been

30:06something amazing
30:10it tells us that we ought to choose
30:12Faith over fear
30:14Choose Love over hate choose positivity
30:18over negativity
30:21choose blessings over curses
30:24choose God over Satan
30:28and it's time we stop
30:30doing
30:31things are away because we're not
30:34catching and anything
30:39it's time we stop doing what our flesh
30:42wants and it's time we cast our net
30:47on the side of Hope

55:20people want to say and do and think
55:24go out and do what God has called you to
55:27do
55:28I have failed multiple times this

56:01failure won't be a part of your life I
56:04failed

56:08going to say and believe me preachers in
56:11the community were talking
56:13laughing at me
56:16he trying to be big shot
56:19going rent big place

56:35some of you you failed and you made a
56:37promise to yourself

56:43to me and he said do it again
56:51foreign
