1 On the third day there was a wedding at Cana in Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there. 2 Jesus also was invited to the wedding with his disciples. 3 When the wine ran out, the mother of Jesus said to him, “They have no wine.” 4 And Jesus said to her, “Woman, what does this have to do with me? My hour has not yet come.” 5 His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.”
6 Now there were six stone water jars there for the Jewish rites of purification, each holding twenty or thirty gallons. 7 Jesus said to the servants, “Fill the jars with water.” And they filled them up to the brim. 8 And he said to them, “Now draw some out and take it to the master of the feast.” So they took it. 9 When the master of the feast tasted the water now become wine, and did not know where it came from (though the servants who had drawn the water knew), the master of the feast called the bridegroom 10 and said to him, “Everyone serves the good wine first, and when people have drunk freely, then the poor wine. But you have kept the good wine until now.” 11 This, the first of his signs, Jesus did at Cana in Galilee, and manifested his glory. And his disciples believed in him.
Your "No" Might Be "Not Yet"

3 When the wine ran out, the mother of Jesus said to him, “They have no wine.”
when it ran out.......HE COULD HAVE BROUGHT IT, shot it out of his finger, GO GO GADGET WINE HOSE
INTERESTING he waited until it all RAN OUT.....until the HUMAN SUPPLY WAS ALL GONE!
SOME OF YOU you’ve ran out, YOUR SUPPLY IS GONE! HAVE NO MORE
ENERGY, PATIENCE, FINANCES, TIME, YOUR AT YOUR RED SEA, THE WALLS ARE CAVING IN AND
MAYBE GOD IS NOT SAYING NO, JUST NOT YET
BUT WE DON’T LIKE THAT. UNFAIR......
MAYBE THERE SOMETHING HE’S TRYING TO TEACH YOU, THAT YOU WON’T LEARN, UNTIL YOU GOT NO OTHER OPTIONS.
MAYBE GOD CAN ONLY DO HIS WILL IN YOUR LIFE WHEN ALL YOUR WILL IS DONE
4 And Jesus said to her, “Woman, what does this have to do with me? My hour has not yet come.” 5 His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.”
my hour not yet come........WE DON’T LIKE THAT
AND IF MARY had some attitude i think she wouldve responded differently......

I WAS A VIRGIN WHEN YOU CHOSE TO COME UP IN MY WOMB THAT WAS REAL FUN TO TELL JOSEPH BEFORE WE WERE MARRIED.....TALK ABOUT NOT YOUR TIME, AND THEN BOUNCING AROUND ON THAT DONKEY, HEADING FOR THE CENSUS YOU COULDN’T WAIT TIL WE WERE BACK HOME, HAD TO FIND A BARN....TALK ABOUT TIMING
SHE COUDVE SAID ALL THAT
LOOK S AT HER RESPONSE “DO WHATEVER HE TELLS YOU.”
YOU see this is her son------she KNOWS JESUS, once we get to know GOD WE realize that WHAT SEEMS LIKE A NO IS SOMETIME A NOT YET IN GOD’S HANDS!!
WHAT SEEMS LIKE A NO IS SOMETIMES JUST A NOT YET IN GOD’S HANDS!!
MAYBE GOD IS NOT REJECTING YOU, MAYBE IT’S A TIMING THING, AND HE’S JUST SAYING NOT YET
OFTEN A PATTERN WITH GOD.....
REQUEST, REJECTION, REVELATION
john 7 brothers
PAINFUL TO PRAISE GOD FOR BEING ON TIME
21 Martha said to Jesus, “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died. 22 But even now I know that whatever you ask from God, God will give you.”
she knows what SHE KNOWS
Get in JESUS’ PROXIMITY THOSE PROBLEMS THAT SEEM IMPOSSIBLE BECOME GODS PROMISES
i KNOW WHAT I KNOW.
I DON’T KNOW WHAT IM GONNA DO....BUT I KNOW WHAT I KNOW!!!!
GOD SOMETIMES SEEMS TO WAIT, RESTRAING, HOLD BACK, SAY NOT YET........NOT BECAUSE HE’S UNLOVING, BUT BECAUSE HE LOVES YOU.
JUST LIKE any good parent knows THAT MAKING THINGS CONVENIENT IS NECESSARILY KIND
RESILENCE.....WORK IT OUT.....MAKE THEM STRONGER......THAT’S LOVE
HOW MANY HAVE SOMETHING IN YOUR LIFE THAT SEEMS TO BE TAKING LONGER IF GOD IS BIG?
......GOD MUST BE TELLING ME NO?
KING DAVID....BUILD TEMPLE? NO
MOSES, ENTER PROMISE LAND....NO
SOMETIMES HE’S NOT SAYING NO…HE’S SAYING NOT YOU
THROUGH YOU....david storing up the materials, moses leading the people
he can do it!!!! JESUS is a miracle worker......but HE’S ALSO A GREAT TEACHER.
SOMETIMES GOD GOES SLOW SO HE CAN SHOW YOU SOMETHING!
We ask God teach me....THEN HE SLOWS DOWN TO TEACH AND WE GET MAD
more patient.....loving, forgiveness
COACHING! DON’T START OFF DAY 1 FASTBALLS, AND DOUBLE PLAYS,
6 Now there were six stone water jars there for the Jewish rites of purification, each holding twenty or thirty gallons. 7 Jesus said to the servants, “Fill the jars with water.” And they filled them up to the brim. 8 And he said to them, “Now draw some out and take it to the master of the feast.” So they took it. 9 When the master of the feast tasted the water now become wine, and did not know where it came from (though the servants who had drawn the water knew), the master of the feast called the bridegroom 10 and said to him, “Everyone serves the good wine first, and when people have drunk freely, then the poor wine.

WAITING…this is awkward…shame to the bride and groom!!!!!
SLOWING IT DOWN TO SHOW THEM SOMETHING.
servants....any wine in there yet.....you see anything happen.....we’ve filled 2 of them can you do the wine thing and then we’ll finish!!!
Don’t stop at SIX!!!! YOUR faith is being tested!!!
Your “NO” might be “NOT YET!”
22 Indeed, under the law almost everything is purified with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sins.
14 how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without blemish to God, purify our conscience from dead works to serve the living God.
