The whole idea of a float is that it might not appear where it is defined.
However, you can use the H float placement by putting [H] in latex mode at
the beginning of the float. You also need to put \usepackage{float} in the
preamble.
Note that since there is no room for the float, the result will be
<text>
(lots of empty space)
pagebreak
<figure>
<text>
Another option, if you don't use a caption for the figure, is to just insert
the figure without using a float.
