1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:02,160
Speaker 1: Hi, this is Joel and Victoria.

2
00:00:02,240 --> 00:00:05,279
Speaker 2: Thanks for listening to our podcast and thanks for supporting

3
00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:08,240
Speaker 2: the ministry. If you enjoy today's message, why don't you

4
00:00:08,280 --> 00:00:10,360
Speaker 2: be a blessing and share it with a friend. We

5
00:00:10,520 --> 00:00:13,800
Speaker 2: appreciate you and pray for God's very best in your life.

6
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:14,960
Speaker 1: Oh God, bless you.

7
00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:17,560
Speaker 2: It's great to be with you today, and I hope

8
00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:20,040
Speaker 2: you'll stay connected with us during the week through our

9
00:00:20,079 --> 00:00:24,000
Speaker 2: daily podcast, our YouTube channel, and social media, and you

10
00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:25,520
Speaker 2: can come visit us in person.

11
00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:27,560
Speaker 1: We'd love to have you be a part of one

12
00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:28,520
Speaker 1: of our services.

13
00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:31,159
Speaker 2: Not I'd like to start with something funny, and I

14
00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:34,240
Speaker 2: heard about this cat and mouse that died.

15
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:35,880
Speaker 1: On the same day and went to heaven.

16
00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:39,239
Speaker 2: After a few weeks, Peter saw the mouse and ask

17
00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:40,239
Speaker 2: him how he liked it.

18
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:43,559
Speaker 1: He said, Oh, it's great, but it's so big. I

19
00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:44,440
Speaker 1: wish I could get a.

20
00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:47,479
Speaker 2: Pair of roller skates. Peter said, no problem, got him

21
00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:50,600
Speaker 2: some skates. A few weeks later, Peter saw the cat

22
00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:54,320
Speaker 2: ask him how he liked it. He said, Oh, it's fantastic.

23
00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:56,600
Speaker 2: And just when I thought it couldn't get any better,

24
00:00:56,880 --> 00:00:57,800
Speaker 2: I discovered the.

25
00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:01,680
Speaker 1: Meals on wheels say like you mean it.

26
00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:05,039
Speaker 3: This is my Bible. I am what it says I am.

27
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:07,880
Speaker 3: I have what it says I have. I can do

28
00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:10,640
Speaker 3: what it says I can do. Today I will be

29
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:14,680
Speaker 3: taught the word of God. I boldly confess. My mind

30
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:18,080
Speaker 3: is alert, my heart is receptive. I will never be

31
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:23,039
Speaker 3: the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you. I want

32
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:27,440
Speaker 3: to talk to you today about mistaken identity. Victoria and

33
00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:29,600
Speaker 3: I went on a hiking trip a while back, and

34
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:34,280
Speaker 3: one of the activities they offered was a class on falconry.

35
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:36,399
Speaker 1: This instructor had a half a.

36
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:39,320
Speaker 2: Dozen birds in cagesm one of them was a hawk.

37
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:43,640
Speaker 2: It was huge, had a wingspan over five feet, so

38
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:44,959
Speaker 2: strong and powerful.

39
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:47,080
Speaker 1: He had it on his arm.

40
00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:49,960
Speaker 2: There was a little wire around the hawk's claws, and

41
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:51,920
Speaker 2: it was connected to the man's jacket.

42
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:53,200
Speaker 1: A couple of.

43
00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:57,520
Speaker 2: Times during the presentation, something bothered the hawk and wanted

44
00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:00,400
Speaker 2: to fly away, but could only go a couple feet

45
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:03,560
Speaker 2: because of that tether. He would put that hawk right

46
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:06,560
Speaker 2: up next to his face, where they'd touch each other.

47
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:08,359
Speaker 1: He'd look him in the.

48
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:11,560
Speaker 2: Eyes and rub his belly where that beak was just

49
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:14,360
Speaker 2: a couple inches from his nose. That's one of the

50
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:18,600
Speaker 2: hawk's main weapons. And at one point I asked the instructor,

51
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:22,480
Speaker 2: why doesn't this hawk harm you, claw you, or try

52
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:25,320
Speaker 2: to use this beat to get away. He began to

53
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:30,480
Speaker 2: explain a concept called mis imprinting. When a bird is hatched,

54
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:34,800
Speaker 2: it imprints on the first moving thing it sees, whether

55
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:39,280
Speaker 2: a bird, another animal, or a person. It develops this

56
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:44,040
Speaker 2: psychological connection, and that's what the bird begins to identify.

57
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 2: As he said, when this hawk hatched, I was the

58
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:51,360
Speaker 2: first thing it saw. It thinks I'm his mother. He's

59
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:55,480
Speaker 2: been misimprinted. And he told how even though the hawk

60
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 2: is powerful, even though it's a natural born predator, it

61
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 2: can't serve in the wild, doesn't know how to hunt,

62
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:06,560
Speaker 2: how to defend itself, how to interact with other birds,

63
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:11,800
Speaker 2: all because in its early years it got confused about

64
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:15,880
Speaker 2: its true identity. I read where researchers found this Canada

65
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:18,920
Speaker 2: goose that was living with a bunch of ducks. Even

66
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:22,720
Speaker 2: though the goose was bigger, made to fly higher, it

67
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:26,480
Speaker 2: always acted like a duck. They discovered that it was

68
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:30,080
Speaker 2: hatched in a duck's nest. The first thing it saw

69
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 2: were all these ducks. It didn't know any better. It

70
00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:39,320
Speaker 2: imprinted on the wrong species. The result was lifelong confusion.

71
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:45,200
Speaker 2: Never soared, couldn't protect itself, didn't reproduce like it was designed.

72
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 2: It had mistaken identity. I wonder how many of us

73
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:54,520
Speaker 2: have been misimprinted. We were made in the image of God.

74
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:56,680
Speaker 2: He has crowned us with his favor.

75
00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:00,160
Speaker 1: He calls us blessed, strong, free.

76
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:06,400
Speaker 2: But perhaps the first thing we saw was mediocrity, insecurity, addictions,

77
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:10,520
Speaker 2: people that compromise. Now we've let that become our identity.

78
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 2: We think that's who we are. Can I tell you

79
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:15,840
Speaker 2: that is a mis imprint.

80
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:19,240
Speaker 1: That may be what you've seen, but that is not

81
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:20,039
Speaker 1: who you are.

82
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:23,480
Speaker 2: You are a child of the most hai God. Don't

83
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:27,400
Speaker 2: take on that false identity. Don't get connected to the

84
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:31,239
Speaker 2: wrong species, so to speak. You may have been raised

85
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:34,320
Speaker 2: by a bunch of ducks, no offense, but people that

86
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:39,159
Speaker 2: didn't soar, that accepted mediocrity, or by turkeys, people that

87
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:44,520
Speaker 2: were critical, complained jealous, by chickens, people insecure in fear,

88
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:45,240
Speaker 2: no vision.

89
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 1: You didn't know any better.

90
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:50,520
Speaker 2: You let that imprint on you, that's become your identity.

91
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:52,120
Speaker 1: The good news is.

92
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:57,640
Speaker 2: You can be re imprinted. You can override any wrong imprinting.

93
00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:01,920
Speaker 2: The scripture says you are trends formed by the renewing

94
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:06,640
Speaker 2: of your mind. The way you correct that misimprinting is.

95
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:09,640
Speaker 1: To go back to who God says you are. You

96
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:12,479
Speaker 1: are not how you were raised. You are not how

97
00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:13,799
Speaker 1: someone treated you.

98
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:17,120
Speaker 2: You are not what they said. That's not your identity.

99
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:20,480
Speaker 2: They didn't breathe life into you. They didn't know you

100
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:23,640
Speaker 2: before you were formed in your mother's womb. God did

101
00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:27,719
Speaker 2: go back to the one who created you and agree

102
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:28,479
Speaker 2: with who.

103
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:29,360
Speaker 1: Heath says you are.

104
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:33,760
Speaker 2: Something powerful happens when you say I am blessed, I

105
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 2: am valuable, I am free, I am forgiven, I am

106
00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:43,120
Speaker 2: victorious in the unseen realm, change are broken, forces of.

107
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:44,440
Speaker 1: Darkness are pushed back.

108
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 2: Don't go through life with mistaken identity. Are there areas

109
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:55,839
Speaker 2: where you've been misimprinted. You've let your environment, the examples

110
00:05:55,880 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 2: you've seen, become your identity, and now it's limiting you

111
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:03,600
Speaker 2: Like that hawk. You have all this God given potential,

112
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:08,520
Speaker 2: all this talent, strength and skill, but you've identified with

113
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:12,880
Speaker 2: something lessers. You see yourself as not able or not discipline,

114
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:16,400
Speaker 2: not talented. Why don't you start a new recording in

115
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:20,159
Speaker 2: your mind? That's what's going to transform you.

116
00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:21,520
Speaker 1: By what you're thinking.

117
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:25,200
Speaker 2: As long as you're thinking like a duck, you're gonna quack.

118
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:28,080
Speaker 2: As long as you're thinking like a chicken, you're gonna

119
00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:33,280
Speaker 2: go around pecking, looking down, not expecting anything good. I mean,

120
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:37,040
Speaker 2: a chicken has wings but can't really fly. That's not

121
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:39,680
Speaker 2: who you were created to be. God said you will

122
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:43,159
Speaker 2: soar like the eagles. God said you are the head,

123
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:46,159
Speaker 2: and not to tell. He said your children will be

124
00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:49,360
Speaker 2: mighty in the land. If this is gonna happen, there

125
00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:54,520
Speaker 2: has to be some re imprinting, some renewing, transforming, because

126
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:58,320
Speaker 2: most likely we've all been misimprinted in some area.

127
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:00,640
Speaker 1: And it's not just from how you were raised.

128
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:04,160
Speaker 2: But you go through a disappointment, your business went down,

129
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:10,520
Speaker 2: you make mistakes, guilt and condemnation comes. You're fighting depression, anxiety,

130
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:14,040
Speaker 2: thoughts saying you'll always struggle. Don't take on that identity.

131
00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:17,160
Speaker 2: If you're dealing with the sickness, keep this thought. You

132
00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:20,320
Speaker 2: are not a sick person trying to get well. You

133
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:25,320
Speaker 2: are a well person fighting off sickness, health, wholeness, vitality.

134
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:28,840
Speaker 1: That's who you are. Anything else is only temporary.

135
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:33,040
Speaker 2: It's just passing through well Joel, all my families depressed.

136
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:36,280
Speaker 2: Grandmother was depressed, mother was depressed, the dog's depressed.

137
00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:38,760
Speaker 1: The goldfish. Can I challenge you.

138
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:41,800
Speaker 2: You're the one to break out of that rut. You're

139
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:44,760
Speaker 2: the one to set a new standard. Don't pass down

140
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:48,760
Speaker 2: the wrong identity. There may have been generations of misimprinting

141
00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:52,440
Speaker 2: in your family line, but the buck can stop with you.

142
00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:55,520
Speaker 1: You can re imprint who you are. You can start

143
00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:57,160
Speaker 1: the right identity.

144
00:07:57,360 --> 00:08:01,520
Speaker 2: When you transform your mind, you will your life and

145
00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:05,400
Speaker 2: even impact generations to come. I talked to a lady

146
00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:08,480
Speaker 2: that had gone through a divorce and was very hurtful.

147
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:12,720
Speaker 2: There was infidelity involved, and she was not only discouraged,

148
00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:15,800
Speaker 2: but she is very down on herself and thoughts whispered

149
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:18,680
Speaker 2: You're not good enough. He wouldn't have left you if

150
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:22,040
Speaker 2: you were more attractive and had a better personality. If

151
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:26,680
Speaker 2: you believe those lies, they will begin to misimprint you.

152
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:29,720
Speaker 2: You will take on the wrong identity, even though you're

153
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:34,200
Speaker 2: a masterpiece made in God's image. You'll start living like

154
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:37,760
Speaker 2: you're unworthy, not valuable, nothing to offer.

155
00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:41,160
Speaker 1: The enemy works over time in this area.

156
00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:46,600
Speaker 2: He'd loved to distort your identity to keep you from recognizing.

157
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:46,880
Speaker 1: Who you really are.

158
00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:51,840
Speaker 2: So like that hawk, even though you're powerful, talented, and

159
00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:55,959
Speaker 2: have all this potential, you'll never step into the greatness

160
00:08:56,160 --> 00:09:01,160
Speaker 2: God put in you. Now, that hawk unfortunately can't. He's

161
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:03,080
Speaker 2: been misimprinted permanently.

162
00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:05,160
Speaker 1: But not you.

163
00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:08,440
Speaker 2: You can be transformed by the renewing of your mind.

164
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:13,920
Speaker 2: Pay attention to what you're thinking. Are there things limiting you,

165
00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:17,640
Speaker 2: telling you you're not enough and you can't be successful,

166
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:21,520
Speaker 2: and you'll always be addicted, lonely, struggling.

167
00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:23,960
Speaker 1: Why do you think that way?

168
00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:26,680
Speaker 2: Could it be that's the enemy trying to deceive you

169
00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:31,360
Speaker 2: into mistaking your identity, thinking that you're a chicken when

170
00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:32,360
Speaker 2: really you're an eagle.

171
00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:34,160
Speaker 1: You were created to sored.

172
00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:37,360
Speaker 2: We see this way back in the Garden of Eden

173
00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:41,480
Speaker 2: with Adam and Eve. They were living in paradise, enjoying

174
00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:45,240
Speaker 2: their lives, blessed and grateful. But when they ate the

175
00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:49,920
Speaker 2: forbidden fruit, suddenly they were afraid. They felt guilty and ashamed,

176
00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:53,800
Speaker 2: They recognized they were naked. They ran in hid and

177
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:57,040
Speaker 2: tried to stay away from God. The first thing the

178
00:09:57,160 --> 00:10:00,920
Speaker 2: enemy did was to try to change their identity. You're

179
00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:04,880
Speaker 2: not worthy, you're not valuable, you don't deserve it anymore.

180
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:07,680
Speaker 1: He was trying to misimprint them.

181
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:12,400
Speaker 2: He uses the same strategy today when we make mistakes,

182
00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:16,079
Speaker 2: go through failures, He always goes for our identity. You're

183
00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:20,560
Speaker 2: a failure, you're unworthy, you're not talented enough. If you

184
00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:23,959
Speaker 2: take on that identity and start seeing yourself that way,

185
00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:25,439
Speaker 2: you'll miss your destiny.

186
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:28,439
Speaker 1: Later in the day, God came walking.

187
00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:31,480
Speaker 2: Through the garden. Adam, where are you? Adam said God.

188
00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:36,440
Speaker 2: We're hiding because we're naked. God said, Adam, who told

189
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:40,040
Speaker 2: you you were naked? Anything that's trying to make you

190
00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:43,880
Speaker 2: feel less than, not enough, you need to ask yourself

191
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:48,679
Speaker 2: where did that come from? That's the enemy whispering his lies.

192
00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:53,360
Speaker 2: God is saying, who told you you're not talented? Who

193
00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:57,400
Speaker 2: told you you're not attractive? Who told you you'll always struggle?

194
00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:01,240
Speaker 2: Who told you you can't accomplish your dreams? Tune out

195
00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:04,880
Speaker 2: all the lies and reprogram your mind with who God

196
00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:09,640
Speaker 2: says you are. You may have gone through disappointments, times

197
00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:12,360
Speaker 2: you didn't measure up, and you have good reasons to

198
00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:17,240
Speaker 2: live condemned, discouraged, But nothing that's happened to you has

199
00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:20,720
Speaker 2: changed who you are. You are still a child of

200
00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:25,200
Speaker 2: the most high, full of power, full of potential. No

201
00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:30,040
Speaker 2: mistake you've made, no failure, no weakness has changed your identity.

202
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:35,000
Speaker 2: You are still worthy, valuable, a masterpiece. This is what

203
00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:38,319
Speaker 2: happened with the Israelites. They had been in slavery four

204
00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:43,680
Speaker 2: hundred years in Egypt, generation after generation, being mistreated and

205
00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:47,240
Speaker 2: looked down on, and God saw the injustice and he

206
00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:51,320
Speaker 2: supernaturally delivered them. Pharaoh let the people go and they

207
00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:55,520
Speaker 2: headed toward the promised land. You can imagine, after all

208
00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:59,760
Speaker 2: that time and captivity and being oppressed, what their identity

209
00:11:59,880 --> 00:12:00,280
Speaker 2: was us.

210
00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:01,800
Speaker 1: Even though they were.

211
00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:06,760
Speaker 2: God's chosen people, had his blessing, they still saw themselves

212
00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:10,760
Speaker 2: as slaves. They came out of Egypt, but Egypt never

213
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:15,720
Speaker 2: came out of them. That imprint was so strong. Generation's deep.

214
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:19,640
Speaker 1: We're slaves man, we're poor, we're defeated.

215
00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:23,920
Speaker 2: Things can become ingrained in us to where it's passed

216
00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:29,440
Speaker 2: from generation to generation. It's what they saw growing up, poverty, struggle,

217
00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:30,480
Speaker 2: and injustice.

218
00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:33,280
Speaker 1: The babies that were born, they didn't know any different.

219
00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:37,880
Speaker 2: They identified with It took on that mindset. Here's how

220
00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:42,680
Speaker 2: powerful a misimprint can be. They were finally free, but

221
00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:45,040
Speaker 2: they kept wanting to go back to Egypt.

222
00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:47,040
Speaker 1: Every time they faced adversity.

223
00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:49,280
Speaker 2: Moses, why did you bring us out here in the

224
00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:50,360
Speaker 2: desert to die?

225
00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:51,880
Speaker 1: That didn't make sense.

226
00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:56,000
Speaker 2: Who would want to go back to being mistreated injustice?

227
00:12:56,480 --> 00:13:00,800
Speaker 2: That's what happens when we've been misimprinted, when we've let

228
00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:05,600
Speaker 2: the enemy distort our identity. There may be negative things

229
00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:08,280
Speaker 2: that have been in your family line for a long time.

230
00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:10,200
Speaker 1: They seem normal to you.

231
00:13:10,960 --> 00:13:16,760
Speaker 2: Everyone's addicted or has problem with anger, staying faithful in relationships,

232
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:20,720
Speaker 2: or thinking they can be successful. That will continue to

233
00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:25,280
Speaker 2: get passed down until someone rises up. Someone has to

234
00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:30,640
Speaker 2: recognize this is not who we are, This is mistaken identity, This.

235
00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:31,319
Speaker 1: Is a misprimer.

236
00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:35,319
Speaker 2: You can be the one to break the negative cycle.

237
00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:39,280
Speaker 2: You can set the new standard starts in your thinking.

238
00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:41,720
Speaker 1: You have to delete any.

239
00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:46,560
Speaker 2: Strongholds that are contradicting who God says you are. Thoughts

240
00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:49,440
Speaker 2: tell you you'll never break that addiction. God says whom

241
00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:50,080
Speaker 2: the son.

242
00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:51,240
Speaker 1: Says free, will be free.

243
00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:54,760
Speaker 2: Indeed, don't believe the lie that the addiction is just

244
00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:55,440
Speaker 2: who you are.

245
00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:59,520
Speaker 1: You are free, You are a whole. No weapon formed

246
00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:00,800
Speaker 1: against you, You will prosper.

247
00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:04,680
Speaker 2: Joel, I've had a lot of bad breaks and closed doors,

248
00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:06,440
Speaker 2: and this person walked away.

249
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:08,760
Speaker 1: You're right where the Israelites were.

250
00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:12,520
Speaker 2: Don't make the mistake they made and take on that identity,

251
00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:14,319
Speaker 2: or you'll always want.

252
00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:16,880
Speaker 1: To go back thinking this is who I am. No.

253
00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:18,800
Speaker 1: God has beauty for those ashes.

254
00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:21,680
Speaker 2: He said he'd pay you back double for the unfair

255
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:24,200
Speaker 2: things that may have happened to you.

256
00:14:24,600 --> 00:14:26,280
Speaker 1: But it didn't change who you are.

257
00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:29,800
Speaker 2: You are still a masterpiece, You're still a prized possession.

258
00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:33,560
Speaker 2: You still have a future and a hope. Or how

259
00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:36,560
Speaker 2: about the lie that you've made too many mistakes, You've

260
00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:39,640
Speaker 2: gotten too far off course and you can't be blessed now.

261
00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:43,560
Speaker 2: Some of the heroes of faith in the Bible made

262
00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:47,440
Speaker 2: great mistakes. The apostle Paul, you remember, he started off

263
00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:50,960
Speaker 2: trying to kill believers. He was the greatest enemy of

264
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:54,600
Speaker 2: the church. In a split second, God changed him. He

265
00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:57,080
Speaker 2: went on to write over half of the books in

266
00:14:57,120 --> 00:14:59,320
Speaker 2: the New Testament would have.

267
00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:02,920
Speaker 1: Never happened if he had kept the wrong imprint. I'm

268
00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:05,800
Speaker 1: washed it up. I've done too much wrong. I don't

269
00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:06,400
Speaker 1: deserve it.

270
00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:11,560
Speaker 2: Those mistakes didn't lessen your value. The enemy is called

271
00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:14,760
Speaker 2: the accuser. He's going to try to use what you've

272
00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:18,520
Speaker 2: done wrong to misimprint you, to get you to see

273
00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:23,040
Speaker 2: yourself as unworthy, not valuable. Just sit on the sidelines,

274
00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:26,520
Speaker 2: do yourself a favor, tune all that out, and get

275
00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:27,800
Speaker 2: in agreement with God.

276
00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:29,840
Speaker 1: Reprogram your thinking.

277
00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:33,440
Speaker 2: I am forgiven, I am redeemed, I am restored, I

278
00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:37,480
Speaker 2: am the righteousness of God. The Israelites came to the

279
00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:38,240
Speaker 2: Promised Land.

280
00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:39,800
Speaker 1: They were camped next.

281
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:42,920
Speaker 2: Door, and Moses sent twelve men to spy out the land.

282
00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:47,360
Speaker 2: After forty days, ten came back and said, Moses, there

283
00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:50,520
Speaker 2: are giants in the land. We were in our own

284
00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:55,040
Speaker 2: sights as grasshoppers, as we were in their sights. The

285
00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:58,720
Speaker 2: giants you face in life don't determine who you are.

286
00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:00,600
Speaker 1: They revealed who you are.

287
00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:06,280
Speaker 2: Notice how they saw themselves. We were as grasshoppers. You're

288
00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:09,760
Speaker 2: talking about the power of a wrong imprint. These people

289
00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:13,280
Speaker 2: had just seen God delivered them out of slavery, heart

290
00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:17,520
Speaker 2: the Red Sea, drowned their enemies. They saw manna breakfast

291
00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:21,800
Speaker 2: each morning in the desert, supernatural protection. You would think

292
00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:26,360
Speaker 2: they would see themselves as mighty powerful, knowing that there

293
00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:30,480
Speaker 2: were God's chosen people, But it was just the opposite.

294
00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:33,160
Speaker 1: They never got rid of their slave mentality.

295
00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:37,720
Speaker 2: They saw themselves as weak and not able because of

296
00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:40,360
Speaker 2: their mistaken identity, they never.

297
00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:43,440
Speaker 1: Did go into the Promised land. Don't let that be

298
00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:44,400
Speaker 1: you are.

299
00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:48,720
Speaker 2: There areas where you've had a misimprint or what you've seen,

300
00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:52,880
Speaker 2: what you've been through, how someone treated you, has caused

301
00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:55,640
Speaker 2: you to have a distorted image of who you are.

302
00:16:56,520 --> 00:16:59,960
Speaker 2: You've taken on the identity of the environment you've been in.

303
00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:00,920
Speaker 1: Here.

304
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:05,600
Speaker 2: You're this strong, powerful eagle destined to soore, but you've

305
00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:09,360
Speaker 2: got a dunk mentality, a limited mindset because of what

306
00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:12,880
Speaker 2: you've seen. You have to know that is not who

307
00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:17,480
Speaker 2: you are. Your environment is not your identity. Your identity

308
00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:21,760
Speaker 2: comes from your creator, God breathed his life into you.

309
00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:25,800
Speaker 2: Whether you're in the palace or in the slums, none

310
00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:29,200
Speaker 2: of that changes your worth. That doesn't change your value.

311
00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:33,480
Speaker 1: Here's the key. How you see yourself is what matters.

312
00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:38,080
Speaker 2: If you see yourself as limited, not able, or not attractive,

313
00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:43,400
Speaker 2: you'll live that way. But if you'll see yourself as valuable, strong, successful,

314
00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:46,280
Speaker 2: you will live a victorious life.

315
00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:48,840
Speaker 1: This is what my father had to do. Daddy was

316
00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:49,800
Speaker 1: raised very poor.

317
00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:53,040
Speaker 2: His parents were farmers and they lost everything during the

318
00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:56,399
Speaker 2: Great Depression. Many times they didn't have enough food to eat.

319
00:17:57,200 --> 00:18:02,280
Speaker 2: Daddy didn't know any better. That's the identity he took on. Poor, defeated,

320
00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:07,439
Speaker 2: never do anything significant. But it's seventeen years old. Walking

321
00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:10,240
Speaker 2: home from a nightclub at two o'clock in the morning,

322
00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:13,359
Speaker 2: he began to think about God and what he was

323
00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:17,399
Speaker 2: going to do with his life. His family knew nothing

324
00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:20,639
Speaker 2: about faith. They had no kind of religion. But the

325
00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:23,359
Speaker 2: next day he went to church with a friend and

326
00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:26,400
Speaker 2: gave his life to Christ, the first one in the family.

327
00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:30,320
Speaker 2: He felt God calling him to become a minister. That

328
00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:31,200
Speaker 2: didn't make sense.

329
00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:34,280
Speaker 1: He didn't have any training, any kind of experience.

330
00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:36,840
Speaker 2: He told his parents that he was going to leave

331
00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:39,840
Speaker 2: the farm and go out and start ministering, and they

332
00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:42,880
Speaker 2: didn't understand and tried to talk him out of it.

333
00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:47,800
Speaker 2: All his parents had known was a life of struggle, mediocrity,

334
00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:51,679
Speaker 2: trying to survive. That's what had been ingrained in my

335
00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:56,320
Speaker 2: father's thinking. It had been passed down for generations. It

336
00:18:56,359 --> 00:19:00,320
Speaker 2: looked like it would continue. But my father rose up

337
00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:03,680
Speaker 2: and said, no, this is not who we are. This

338
00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:07,639
Speaker 2: is a misimprint. We are not defeated can't do it.

339
00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:11,399
Speaker 1: Limited people. We are children of Almighty God.

340
00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:19,199
Speaker 2: We are blessed, strong, prosperous, holy, forgiven, victorious. He transformed

341
00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:22,359
Speaker 2: his life by renewing his mind. He took on a

342
00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:26,000
Speaker 2: new identity who God says we are. He changed the

343
00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:29,560
Speaker 2: course for our family line, myself, my siblings.

344
00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:31,720
Speaker 1: We grew up with a different imprint.

345
00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:36,040
Speaker 2: Are their wrong imprints robbing you from your true identity?

346
00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:39,479
Speaker 1: You can change. It starts in your thinking.

347
00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:42,840
Speaker 2: It's what God said to Adam, who told you you.

348
00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:43,800
Speaker 1: Can't rise higher.

349
00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:47,320
Speaker 2: Get rid of those lies and start believing what God

350
00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:48,160
Speaker 2: says about you.

351
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:50,120
Speaker 1: Judges, Chapter six.

352
00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:53,840
Speaker 2: Gideon was hiding in a wine press, afraid of the

353
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:58,520
Speaker 2: enemy army surrounding the city, and every time their crops blossomed,

354
00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:01,280
Speaker 2: these bandits would come and try to take it away.

355
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:06,280
Speaker 2: While Gideon was so worried and fearful, an angel appeared

356
00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:10,359
Speaker 2: and said, mighty hero, the Lord is with you. You

357
00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:14,920
Speaker 2: are to deliver the Israelites from the Midianites. God called

358
00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:18,879
Speaker 2: him a mighty hero when he was afraid and intimidated,

359
00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:21,080
Speaker 2: God calls you who you really are.

360
00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:23,000
Speaker 1: Gideon was confused.

361
00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:26,440
Speaker 2: He said to the angel, how can I deliver the Israelites.

362
00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:29,879
Speaker 2: I come from the poorest family. I am the least

363
00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:33,879
Speaker 2: one in my father's house. What was Gideon's problem? He

364
00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:38,080
Speaker 2: had been misimprinted what he saw his environment.

365
00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:41,920
Speaker 1: We're less than We're at a disadvantage. We can't leave

366
00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:42,399
Speaker 1: our mark.

367
00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:46,600
Speaker 2: The fact is Gideon was a mighty hero. He was

368
00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:49,600
Speaker 2: a history maker. That's who God destined him to be.

369
00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:52,520
Speaker 2: But he let the wrong identity take root.

370
00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:56,080
Speaker 1: He believed those lies that he was his environment.

371
00:20:56,560 --> 00:21:00,400
Speaker 2: He was like everyone around him. This angel showed up

372
00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:03,760
Speaker 2: to tell him who he really was. Gideon kept making

373
00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:06,119
Speaker 2: the excuses. I don't see how we come from the

374
00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:09,320
Speaker 2: wrong family. This obstacle is too big. He went back

375
00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:12,800
Speaker 2: and forth with the angel. Finally he agreed to go

376
00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:17,520
Speaker 2: out and lead the Israelites. That's when he discovered favor, strength,

377
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:21,359
Speaker 2: courage that he'd never seen. By the time the battle

378
00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:24,119
Speaker 2: was over, the people were shouting a sword for the

379
00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:25,760
Speaker 2: Lord and a sword for Gideon.

380
00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:28,520
Speaker 1: A little earlier, he was hiding.

381
00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:32,000
Speaker 2: Now he's leading the charge with people shouting his name.

382
00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:36,440
Speaker 1: Gideon went on to become a hero of faith. This

383
00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:39,320
Speaker 1: would have never happened if the Angel had not shown

384
00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:41,960
Speaker 1: up to correct his identity.

385
00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:45,639
Speaker 2: As long as he saw himself as limited, weak, he

386
00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:48,400
Speaker 2: would have stayed there and hiding it, missed his destiny.

387
00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:53,520
Speaker 2: Maybe God sent me today to help correct any wrong identities,

388
00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:55,920
Speaker 2: to remind you who you really are.

389
00:21:56,640 --> 00:21:59,119
Speaker 1: There's a mighty hero in you.

390
00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:05,560
Speaker 2: You are strong, you are valuable, you are talented, attractive, favored, empowered.

391
00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:10,080
Speaker 1: Don't let a wrong identity keep you from your greatness.

392
00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:15,119
Speaker 2: Reprogram you're thinking with what God says about you. Tune

393
00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:20,200
Speaker 2: out all the misinformation, the negative, limited, not enough, too

394
00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:25,240
Speaker 2: many mistakes. The enemy would love for you to become misimprinted,

395
00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:28,479
Speaker 2: so you will miss your destiny. But this is a

396
00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:32,679
Speaker 2: new day. God is reimprinting you. There's a new image

397
00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:37,919
Speaker 2: taken root. No more grasshopper mentality, but a mighty hero mentality.

398
00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:41,960
Speaker 2: No more can't do it but well able, No more,

399
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:46,040
Speaker 2: not valuable, but masterpiece made in the image.

400
00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:48,560
Speaker 1: Of Almighty God. Friend of mine was.

401
00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:51,080
Speaker 2: Raised here in the Fifth Ward in Houston back in

402
00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:54,120
Speaker 2: the nineteen sixties, and it was pretty rough back then.

403
00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:57,000
Speaker 2: A lot of gangs and drugs, and his father wasn't

404
00:22:57,040 --> 00:23:00,800
Speaker 2: around while his mother was working. He started skipping school

405
00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:04,840
Speaker 2: and getting into trouble and stealing things, robbing. One day

406
00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:07,879
Speaker 2: the police were chasing him. He was running through a

407
00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:11,200
Speaker 2: neighborhood and he crawled under this house that was up

408
00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:13,960
Speaker 2: on blocks, and they had a police dog after him,

409
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:17,399
Speaker 2: and he opened up the sewer and covered himself in

410
00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:20,480
Speaker 2: waste and filth so the dog couldn't smell him, and

411
00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:25,080
Speaker 2: he got away. But sitting in that filth, something said,

412
00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:27,359
Speaker 2: you were made for more than this.

413
00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:28,720
Speaker 1: This is not who you are.

414
00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:32,040
Speaker 2: He went by Jim one day and saw some people

415
00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:35,520
Speaker 2: in their boxing. He walked in as a teenager, told

416
00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:36,800
Speaker 2: the man he wanted to box.

417
00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:39,440
Speaker 1: Man was rude. Get out of here, kid, I don't

418
00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:40,280
Speaker 1: have time for you.

419
00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:46,000
Speaker 2: As he was leaving so dejected, another man came over said, listen, son,

420
00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:49,640
Speaker 2: if you want a box, I'll train you, and if

421
00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:52,320
Speaker 2: you'll work hard and stick with it, you can become

422
00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:56,080
Speaker 2: an Olympic champion. He didn't even know the young man,

423
00:23:56,520 --> 00:23:59,720
Speaker 2: he had never met him, but he saw something in him,

424
00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:03,919
Speaker 2: Like the Angel with Gideon, Sometimes you need people to

425
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:05,480
Speaker 2: speak faith into you.

426
00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:07,120
Speaker 1: To tell you who you really are.

427
00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:10,639
Speaker 2: Nobody had ever told that young man he could do

428
00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:11,359
Speaker 2: something great.

429
00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:14,720
Speaker 1: All he heard was you're not good enough. You never

430
00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:17,080
Speaker 1: amount to anything. You can't even stay out of trouble.

431
00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:21,680
Speaker 2: That day, a stronghold was broken in his mind. That

432
00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:26,640
Speaker 2: misimprinting began to change. He thought, maybe I'm not who

433
00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:28,880
Speaker 2: I think I am. Maybe I'm not.

434
00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:34,480
Speaker 1: Defeated, undisciplined, with no future. He began to reprogram his mind.

435
00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:37,640
Speaker 2: That coach not only told him what he could become,

436
00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:40,439
Speaker 2: but he gave him a pair of boxing shoes and

437
00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:41,879
Speaker 2: boxing gloves.

438
00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:45,160
Speaker 1: No one had ever given him anything. He had never

439
00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:46,200
Speaker 1: boxed before.

440
00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:50,240
Speaker 2: But one year later George Foreman was an Olympic champion.

441
00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:53,960
Speaker 1: He won the gold medal. He went on to become.

442
00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:57,280
Speaker 2: The heavyweight champion of the world, and when he retired,

443
00:24:57,320 --> 00:25:00,760
Speaker 2: he became a pastor Crosstown, always talking about what God

444
00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:03,880
Speaker 2: can do, how you can turn any situation around.

445
00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:07,560
Speaker 1: It's amazing what happens when we get rid of the

446
00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:08,520
Speaker 1: wrong identity.

447
00:25:09,400 --> 00:25:12,880
Speaker 2: I wonder if there are areas where you've been misimprinted,

448
00:25:13,520 --> 00:25:16,840
Speaker 2: like George, like get in, I'm just average joint. I

449
00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:19,639
Speaker 2: can't do anything great. I've been through too much. The

450
00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:24,480
Speaker 2: truth is you're a mighty hero. You have greatness in you.

451
00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:26,520
Speaker 2: You have to clear out all the lies that are

452
00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:29,520
Speaker 2: trying to deceive you into being less than you were

453
00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:33,920
Speaker 2: created to be. You can be transformed by the renewing

454
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:37,199
Speaker 2: of your mind. Start dwelling on what God says about you.

455
00:25:37,960 --> 00:25:41,960
Speaker 2: Not the limited, can't do it, not valuable thoughts. How

456
00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:47,200
Speaker 2: about the strong, talented, mighty hero thoughts. God is going

457
00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:50,920
Speaker 2: to take you further than you can imagine. Gideon never

458
00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:54,200
Speaker 2: dreamed he would be a hero of fate. My father

459
00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:57,760
Speaker 2: never dreamed he'd leave the farm and go on to impact.

460
00:25:57,320 --> 00:26:00,400
Speaker 1: People all over the world. What God, God is.

461
00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:03,119
Speaker 2: Going to do in your life is going to supersede

462
00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:06,600
Speaker 2: anything you can imagine. Now, don't limit him with the

463
00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:11,720
Speaker 2: wrong identity. You may have had some misimprinting things you

464
00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:14,560
Speaker 2: believe that you didn't know any better that I believe

465
00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:15,800
Speaker 2: and declare today.

466
00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:19,480
Speaker 1: God is reimprinting strongholds.

467
00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:22,360
Speaker 2: Being broken, forces that have held you back coming down.

468
00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:26,919
Speaker 2: The mighty hero is coming out your true identity in

469
00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:29,679
