He was standing in 32 00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:48,880 Speaker 4: the church lobby staring at the large plaque on the wall. 33 00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:52,840 Speaker 4: It was filled with names with small American flags by 34 00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:56,440 Speaker 4: their side. He asked the pastor what all the names 35 00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:59,920 Speaker 4: were for. The pastor explained how that was a memorial 36 00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:03,640 Speaker 4: to all the young men and women that died in 37 00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:07,800 Speaker 4: the service. The little boy stood there silently, so concerned. 38 00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:10,520 Speaker 4: He finally looked up and asked, was it the eight 39 00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:14,840 Speaker 4: thirty or eleven o'clock service? Say it like you mean it. 40 00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:17,959 Speaker 4: This is my Bible. I am what it says. I am. 41 00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:20,880 Speaker 4: I have what it says I have. I can do 42 00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:23,560 Speaker 4: what it says I can do. Today I will be 43 00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:27,640 Speaker 4: taught the word of God. I boldly confess my mind 44 00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:31,079 Speaker 4: is alert my heart is receptive. I will never be 45 00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:36,480 Speaker 4: the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you. I want 46 00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:40,919 Speaker 4: to talk to you today about recognizing your value. Too 47 00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:44,760 Speaker 4: often we base our value on how someone is treating us, 48 00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:49,799 Speaker 4: how successful we are, how perfect of a life we've lived. 49 00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:53,960 Speaker 4: The problem is all of those things can change. If 50 00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:56,919 Speaker 4: you're getting your value out of how people treat you, 51 00:02:57,520 --> 00:03:00,840 Speaker 4: then if they hurt you, they disappoint you, you're going 52 00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:05,080 Speaker 4: to feel devalued. If you're basing your value off of 53 00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:08,920 Speaker 4: your achievements, how much you make, what you drive, the 54 00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:12,360 Speaker 4: title behind your name, then if something happens and you 55 00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:16,079 Speaker 4: don't have that position, your business goes down, then your 56 00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:19,880 Speaker 4: value will go down. And some people don't feel good 57 00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:23,440 Speaker 4: about themselves because they've made mistakes in life. They're not 58 00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:26,639 Speaker 4: where they thought they would be. Now, they're living insecure, 59 00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:32,760 Speaker 4: feeling inferior. They're basing their value on their performance. Here's 60 00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:36,840 Speaker 4: the key. Your value should be based solely on the 61 00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:40,080 Speaker 4: fact that you are a child of the most high God, 62 00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:43,920 Speaker 4: the creator of the universe, reads his life into you. 63 00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:49,000 Speaker 4: How someone treats you doesn't change your value. What they 64 00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:53,520 Speaker 4: say or do doesn't lessen who you are. Mistakes you've 65 00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:58,120 Speaker 4: made doesn't decrease your value. That's what you did, that's 66 00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:01,320 Speaker 4: not who you are. You can buy a bigger house, 67 00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:04,720 Speaker 4: drive a better car, but that doesn't make you any 68 00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:09,800 Speaker 4: more valuable. That increases your net worth, not your self worth. 69 00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:13,920 Speaker 4: You were already valuable when you had the small apartment 70 00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:18,120 Speaker 4: and no title behind your name. That position may give 71 00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:22,200 Speaker 4: you more influence, but not more value. You can be 72 00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:25,840 Speaker 4: a stay at home mom raising your children. You may 73 00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:29,400 Speaker 4: not have the influence of the CEO, but you have 74 00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:33,360 Speaker 4: the same value. Value is not based on what you do, 75 00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:37,080 Speaker 4: what you make, who you know. That's superficial. Those things 76 00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:42,839 Speaker 4: can change. Your value comes from your creator. God breathed 77 00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:46,640 Speaker 4: his life into you. You have the DNA of Almighty God. 78 00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:51,400 Speaker 4: You have royalty in your blood. But the enemy works 79 00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:55,479 Speaker 4: over time trying to devalue us. He'd love for you 80 00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:58,839 Speaker 4: to go through life letting what people say make you 81 00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:04,440 Speaker 4: feel inferior, comparing your life to somebody else's thinking. You'll 82 00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:07,719 Speaker 4: feel good about yourself when you catch up to them, 83 00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:11,479 Speaker 4: when you live in that neighborhood, or when you perform 84 00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:15,480 Speaker 4: perfectly when you break the addiction, then you'll feel valuable. 85 00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:19,599 Speaker 4: But nothing you do will make you any more valuable. 86 00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:25,440 Speaker 4: Nothing you achieve, nothing you overcome. You are valuable right now. 87 00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:30,120 Speaker 4: God calls you a masterpiece. You are one of a kind. 88 00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:34,560 Speaker 4: You didn't come off an assembly line. You weren't mass produced. 89 00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:37,919 Speaker 4: God made you unique. There will never be another. 90 00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:38,120 Speaker 3: You. 91 00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:42,840 Speaker 4: Put your shoulders back, start carrying yourself with confidence. You 92 00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:47,480 Speaker 4: have been fearfully and wonderfully made. In Luke chapter four, 93 00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:51,360 Speaker 4: Jesus was led by the spirit into the desert, where 94 00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:54,440 Speaker 4: he was tempted three times. He'd been out there for 95 00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:58,920 Speaker 4: forty days and hadn't eaten anything. The enemy said to him, 96 00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:02,919 Speaker 4: if you're the son of God, turn these stones into bread. 97 00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:06,640 Speaker 4: He was trying to make his value be based on 98 00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:10,760 Speaker 4: his performance. If you turn these stones into bread, you 99 00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:13,640 Speaker 4: can prove you're the son of God. Then you can 100 00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:17,760 Speaker 4: feel good about yourself. You performed a miracle. Jesus wouldn't 101 00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:20,760 Speaker 4: do it. He said. Man doesn't live by bread alone. 102 00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:24,039 Speaker 4: He was saying, in effect, I don't have to do 103 00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:27,839 Speaker 4: anything to prove who I am. I don't have to 104 00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:31,600 Speaker 4: perform to feel good about myself. I know who I am. 105 00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:35,720 Speaker 4: The enemy couldn't deceive him into getting his value out 106 00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:41,400 Speaker 4: of being performance based so he tried possession based. He 107 00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:44,400 Speaker 4: took Jesus to a high place, showed him all the 108 00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:46,960 Speaker 4: kingdoms of the world. He said, you can have it 109 00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:51,640 Speaker 4: all if you'll just bow down and worship me. Jesus said, no, thanks. 110 00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:56,039 Speaker 4: I don't need possessions to prove my worth and value. 111 00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:58,720 Speaker 4: I don't have to have what you think is important 112 00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:02,159 Speaker 4: to feel good about who who I am. Possession based 113 00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:05,840 Speaker 4: didn't work. Performance based didn't work, so the enemy tried 114 00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:10,960 Speaker 4: one final thing, popularity. He took Jesus to the highest 115 00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:14,800 Speaker 4: place in the temple, was very crowded below all kinds 116 00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:17,120 Speaker 4: of people. He said, if you're the son of God, 117 00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:21,160 Speaker 4: jump off this building. You said your angels would protect you. 118 00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:25,440 Speaker 4: He was trying to get Jesus to show off. Everybody 119 00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:30,080 Speaker 4: would see and be amazed. He'd gain instant popularity. Jesus 120 00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:33,960 Speaker 4: said it again, I don't need possessions. I don't need popularity. 121 00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:37,840 Speaker 4: I don't need performance to feel valuable. I know who 122 00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:41,960 Speaker 4: I am. I'm the son of the living God. The 123 00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:46,120 Speaker 4: enemy tried to deceive Jesus into proving who he was, 124 00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:50,000 Speaker 4: and a lot of people live in approving mode. They 125 00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:53,960 Speaker 4: can't feel good about themselves unless they prove to people 126 00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:57,200 Speaker 4: they're important, proved to their co worker their talented, and 127 00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:00,960 Speaker 4: proved to their critics that they really are okay. There's 128 00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:07,160 Speaker 4: a constant struggle. They're always having to outdo, outperform, outdrive, outdress. 129 00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:11,240 Speaker 4: It's very free when you realize you don't have to 130 00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:15,880 Speaker 4: prove anything. You don't have to impress people. Take the 131 00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:20,440 Speaker 4: pressure off. It takes a lot of energy to compete, 132 00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:25,400 Speaker 4: to prove, to impress. If you live in approving mode, 133 00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:29,000 Speaker 4: it's like you're on a treadmill. As soon as you 134 00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:32,480 Speaker 4: prove to one person you're okay, you'll see somebody else 135 00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:36,400 Speaker 4: you need to impress to never ending cycle. Get off 136 00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:40,240 Speaker 4: that treadmill. You're working hard but not going anywhere. You 137 00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:44,080 Speaker 4: don't have to prove anything. And these days there's so 138 00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:48,800 Speaker 4: much emphasis on name brands. We're wearing so and so 139 00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:52,840 Speaker 4: designer shoes and sow and so sunglasses, and carrying a 140 00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:55,840 Speaker 4: sow and so perse, driving a SO and so card, 141 00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:58,800 Speaker 4: talking on a SO and so cell phone. If you're 142 00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:02,400 Speaker 4: really cool, you got on and SO underwear, you can 143 00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:07,320 Speaker 4: feel good about yourself. Sometimes we have so many other 144 00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:12,760 Speaker 4: names on us we don't know our own name. We're 145 00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:17,319 Speaker 4: counting on all the name brands, all the outside labels 146 00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:20,920 Speaker 4: to make us feel important. Can I tell you your name 147 00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:26,599 Speaker 4: is more important than all those names combine. No disrespect 148 00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:29,800 Speaker 4: to them, But the difference between you and a name 149 00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:34,280 Speaker 4: brand is God breathed his life into you. You're a son, 150 00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:37,640 Speaker 4: you're a daughter of the most High God. And there's 151 00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:40,920 Speaker 4: nothing wrong with owning it, driving it. We're in it, 152 00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:44,160 Speaker 4: But don't let it be the reason you feel good 153 00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:50,679 Speaker 4: about who you are. Because what's hot today, what's the latest, greatest. 154 00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:53,920 Speaker 4: In a few years, it'll be outdated. If you live 155 00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:57,319 Speaker 4: possession based, you have to run from name to name, 156 00:09:57,480 --> 00:10:00,600 Speaker 4: position to position, friend to friend. That's go where you are. 157 00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:04,760 Speaker 4: Why don't you relax. You can't get any more valuable. 158 00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:08,560 Speaker 4: You can buy more clothes, get more friends. That doesn't 159 00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:14,679 Speaker 4: change your value. Whether you're wearing Gucci or Goodwill, whether 160 00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:18,760 Speaker 4: it's Calvin Klein or Fruit of the Loom, your value 161 00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:22,480 Speaker 4: never changes. You're clapping because you wear Fruit of the Loom. 162 00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:26,240 Speaker 4: Like me. I went to the sporting goods store the 163 00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:29,200 Speaker 4: other day to buy some new T shirts to work 164 00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:32,559 Speaker 4: out in, and there were probably ten racks of shirts. 165 00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:37,200 Speaker 4: Practically everyone had the manufacturer's name on the front in 166 00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:40,640 Speaker 4: big bold letters. I thought to myself, you want me 167 00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:43,280 Speaker 4: to buy your shirt and then go around as a 168 00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:46,959 Speaker 4: billboard for you no offense, But I don't want to 169 00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:50,160 Speaker 4: wear your name. I like my own name. Do you 170 00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:54,319 Speaker 4: need somebody else's name to make you feel good about yourself? 171 00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:57,800 Speaker 4: Are you trying to prove your worth, your value by 172 00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:01,080 Speaker 4: who you know, what you wear, what you drive? Or 173 00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:05,600 Speaker 4: can you say, like Jesus, I don't have to have popularity, possessions, 174 00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:09,240 Speaker 4: or performance to feel good about myself. I am secure 175 00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:11,800 Speaker 4: in who I am. I know who God made me 176 00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:16,760 Speaker 4: to be. When Jesus was riding into town on Palm Sunday, 177 00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:21,160 Speaker 4: the people laid down branches as he passed by. They celebrated, 178 00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:26,280 Speaker 4: shouting Hosanna from the young to the old, waving, cheering. 179 00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:29,280 Speaker 4: They were so excited to see him. He received a 180 00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:33,840 Speaker 4: heroes welcome. But a few days later those same people, 181 00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:39,240 Speaker 4: instead of shouting Hosanna, they were shouting crucifying, we don't 182 00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:43,240 Speaker 4: want him here. When Jesus went to trial and needed 183 00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:47,360 Speaker 4: his closest friends to support him, his disciples, the ones 184 00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:50,800 Speaker 4: he had poured his life into, they weren't anywhere around. 185 00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:53,480 Speaker 4: He asked them to stay up and pray, but they 186 00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:57,040 Speaker 4: were too tired. They fell asleep. If you base your 187 00:11:57,160 --> 00:12:03,040 Speaker 4: value on people's support, how much they approve you, encourage you, 188 00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:06,880 Speaker 4: then if for some reason they stop doing that, you'll 189 00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:10,559 Speaker 4: feel devalued. As long as they're telling you you're great, 190 00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:14,480 Speaker 4: you'll feel great. The problem is if they change their mind, 191 00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:17,840 Speaker 4: they're not telling you that, you're not going to feel great. 192 00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:22,959 Speaker 4: You can't base your value on what people give you. 193 00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:26,480 Speaker 4: People are funny. They'll say you're beautiful one day, and 194 00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:29,960 Speaker 4: I don't care for you the next. Hozanna on Sunday, 195 00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:34,280 Speaker 4: crucify them on Friday. If you don't know who you 196 00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:38,760 Speaker 4: are without them, then if they leave, you'll be lost. 197 00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:43,079 Speaker 4: They'll take you with them. Your identity was caught up 198 00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:45,560 Speaker 4: in who they made you to be. You'll try to 199 00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:49,200 Speaker 4: find somebody else to tell you who you are. You 200 00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:52,520 Speaker 4: don't need people to tell you who you are. People 201 00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:56,640 Speaker 4: will let you down, people will get jealous, people have 202 00:12:56,720 --> 00:13:00,880 Speaker 4: their own issues. Let your heavenly father tell you who 203 00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:06,520 Speaker 4: you are. Get your value, your self worth, your approval 204 00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:11,120 Speaker 4: from him. He says you're a masterpiece. He says you're 205 00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:15,160 Speaker 4: want of a kind, a prized possession. Somebody may have 206 00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:18,960 Speaker 4: told you the opposite. You're not talented, you're not attractive, 207 00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:22,160 Speaker 4: you don't have a good personality. Let that go in 208 00:13:22,280 --> 00:13:27,480 Speaker 4: one ear and out the other. They don't determine your value. 209 00:13:27,640 --> 00:13:31,160 Speaker 4: What they say or do doesn't make you any less 210 00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:35,760 Speaker 4: a masterpiece. Quit letting how people treat you make you 211 00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:40,840 Speaker 4: feel inferior. They don't control your destiny. They didn't breathe 212 00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:43,880 Speaker 4: life into you. They didn't call you, they didn't anoint you, 213 00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:47,800 Speaker 4: they didn't approve you. Your value came from your creator, 214 00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:52,280 Speaker 4: from the God who spoke worlds into existence. The good 215 00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:56,000 Speaker 4: news is they can't change your value, and you can't 216 00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:59,520 Speaker 4: change it. God put it in you before you showed up. 217 00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:03,760 Speaker 4: You don't need their approval, You don't need their encouragement. 218 00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:08,160 Speaker 4: They don't have to validate you. It's good when it happens, 219 00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:11,679 Speaker 4: but if you're depending on it to feel secure, then 220 00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:14,400 Speaker 4: if they don't do it, you're going to feel inferior. 221 00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:19,280 Speaker 4: Don't give away your power. Don't put your identity, your 222 00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:24,360 Speaker 4: value into somebody else's hands. Even good people can't give 223 00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:27,880 Speaker 4: you everything you need. Somebody that loves you very much, 224 00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:32,840 Speaker 4: They cannot keep you approved, validated, feeling secured. You have 225 00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:36,920 Speaker 4: to go to your heavenly father. And sometimes we're putting 226 00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:40,480 Speaker 4: pressure on people to keep us fixed, keep us validated. 227 00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:44,400 Speaker 4: Let them off the hook. They're not your savior. You 228 00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:47,520 Speaker 4: already have a savior. He's on the throne. Go to 229 00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:51,760 Speaker 4: him and not the people. The problem with trying to 230 00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:55,480 Speaker 4: get this from people is people have issues. People are 231 00:14:55,480 --> 00:15:01,640 Speaker 4: dealing with insecurities, fears, hurts, wounds, presentes, function. They don't 232 00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:05,720 Speaker 4: know any better. That's normal to them. Messed up people 233 00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:09,480 Speaker 4: can mess you up if you that's not profound, but 234 00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:12,960 Speaker 4: it's good, isn't it. If you base your value on 235 00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:16,920 Speaker 4: what they're giving you, you can end up dysfunctional. I 236 00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:19,560 Speaker 4: talked to a lady recently that had a very bad 237 00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:24,080 Speaker 4: childhood neglect abuse. She had just gone through her second divorce. 238 00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:27,920 Speaker 4: Her ex husband told her that she didn't deserve to 239 00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:30,680 Speaker 4: be loved, and I could tell that she believed it 240 00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:34,280 Speaker 4: because she was down on herself, no expression on her face. 241 00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:38,120 Speaker 4: I told her what I'm telling you, don't let messed 242 00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:42,120 Speaker 4: up people ruin the rest of your life. If somebody 243 00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:46,520 Speaker 4: hurts you, there's a tendency to internalize it and think 244 00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:50,000 Speaker 4: there's something wrong with me. If I was more attractive, 245 00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:53,480 Speaker 4: he wouldn't have left. If I was smarter, I wouldn't 246 00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:56,240 Speaker 4: have had a bad childhood. No, it has nothing to 247 00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:59,600 Speaker 4: do with you. They're treating you out of their hurts. 248 00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:05,320 Speaker 4: Wounds Hurting people end up hurting other people. Don't let 249 00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:09,160 Speaker 4: what they say define who you are. Don't let what 250 00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:11,720 Speaker 4: you didn't get make you feel like you're the blame. 251 00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:15,920 Speaker 4: They said you don't deserve to be loved. That's a lie. 252 00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:19,360 Speaker 4: They said you're not attractive, another lie. But if you 253 00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:22,640 Speaker 4: base your value on these lines, you won't have any 254 00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:27,040 Speaker 4: kind of self worth. Studies even show that children that 255 00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:31,960 Speaker 4: went through neglect abuse a bad childhood. Very often they 256 00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:35,040 Speaker 4: take the blame on themselves. They think there's something wrong 257 00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:38,280 Speaker 4: with them. This lady did the same thing. She didn't 258 00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:42,520 Speaker 4: think she deserved to be loved. That's the enemy trying 259 00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:46,560 Speaker 4: to steal your sense of value. If somebody did you wrong, 260 00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:51,200 Speaker 4: instead of internalizing it, have you ever thought about maybe 261 00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:54,840 Speaker 4: they were messed up. Maybe they felt so bad about themselves, 262 00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:57,960 Speaker 4: so unlovable, that they tried to project it on you. 263 00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:00,880 Speaker 4: I know a young man that never felt like he 264 00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:04,359 Speaker 4: fit in growing up. There's very little love in his home. 265 00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:07,679 Speaker 4: He never felt approved or celebrated. It was like he 266 00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:11,160 Speaker 4: was a burden. He found out in his early teens 267 00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:15,760 Speaker 4: that his parents always wanted a girl. They were disappointed 268 00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:19,400 Speaker 4: when he was born. Now he's in his twenties, had 269 00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:24,720 Speaker 4: his head down, insecure, feeling unworthy. I told him, your 270 00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:27,560 Speaker 4: parents may have wanted a girl, but the creator of 271 00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:31,680 Speaker 4: the universe wanted a boy. God doesn't make mistakes. You're 272 00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:36,840 Speaker 4: not an accident. He hand piqued you. He chose you 273 00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:40,520 Speaker 4: before you could choose him. Your parents may not have 274 00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:43,960 Speaker 4: known any better, but don't let their lack of approval 275 00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:48,760 Speaker 4: keep you from your destiny. You didn't come from your mother. 276 00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:52,720 Speaker 4: You came through your mother. You came from Oh my God. 277 00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:56,960 Speaker 4: I begin to tell him how he was a masterpiece, 278 00:17:57,080 --> 00:18:01,360 Speaker 4: called chosen, equipped, one of a kind, with seeds of greatness. 279 00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:05,199 Speaker 4: Nobody had ever spoken faith over his life. He lifted 280 00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:07,440 Speaker 4: his head, he put his shoulders back. I could see 281 00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:11,280 Speaker 4: a smile starting to form. When you base your value 282 00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:14,360 Speaker 4: on what people say or do, that's going to push 283 00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:17,320 Speaker 4: you down. But when you base it on what God 284 00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:20,280 Speaker 4: says about you, it's going to lift you up. You're 285 00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:22,800 Speaker 4: going to have a smile on your face. A spring 286 00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:26,160 Speaker 4: in your step. You're not going to be put off 287 00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:29,240 Speaker 4: by what you didn't get by who's not supporting him 288 00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:34,040 Speaker 4: like him. Maybe nobody ever told you what God says 289 00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:39,000 Speaker 4: about you. God says you're amazing. He says he's proud 290 00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:42,480 Speaker 4: of you. He says you're the apple of his eye. 291 00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:45,840 Speaker 4: People may not be celebrating you, but you need to 292 00:18:45,880 --> 00:18:50,320 Speaker 4: know God celebrates you. I've heard it said if God 293 00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:53,160 Speaker 4: had a refrigerator, you a picture would be on it. 294 00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:56,440 Speaker 4: If he had a computer, you'd be on the homepage. 295 00:18:57,240 --> 00:19:01,199 Speaker 4: The scripture says God has your name hard on the 296 00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:04,600 Speaker 4: palm of his hand. He's always thinking about you. You 297 00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:07,880 Speaker 4: may feel like you never really got the approval from 298 00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:11,160 Speaker 4: your parents. From your family, and even now, they don't 299 00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:14,800 Speaker 4: celebrate you, they don't affirm you. But the truth is 300 00:19:14,960 --> 00:19:19,520 Speaker 4: it's not about you. It's about their issues, their insecurities. 301 00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:23,480 Speaker 4: Don't spend your life trying to get something that they 302 00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:27,200 Speaker 4: cannot give. I know people working eighty hours a week 303 00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:30,800 Speaker 4: trying to prove to their parents they're successful, prove to 304 00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:34,000 Speaker 4: their family they're good enough. You have to let it 305 00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:38,520 Speaker 4: go or you'll be frustrated. Turn to your heavenly father, 306 00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:42,440 Speaker 4: get your approval from him. He's smiling down on you. 307 00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:46,480 Speaker 4: He sees you excelling. You don't have to have their 308 00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:50,160 Speaker 4: approval to be happy. God approves you. He's the one 309 00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:55,280 Speaker 4: that matters. In the scripture, David didn't have his father's approval. 310 00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:58,720 Speaker 4: When the prophet Samuel came in to anoint one of 311 00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:02,800 Speaker 4: Jesse's sons, Jesse didn't even bring David in from the 312 00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:08,160 Speaker 4: shepherd's fields. He saw David as being inferior, not talented, 313 00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:13,159 Speaker 4: too young, too small. Sometimes the people closest to you 314 00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:17,359 Speaker 4: can't see the greatness in you. Jesse didn't see a 315 00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:20,959 Speaker 4: king in David. He didn't see a giant killer, a 316 00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:24,560 Speaker 4: strategic leader. He saw a young boy with not much 317 00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:28,600 Speaker 4: to offer. He dismissed him, didn't pay much attention. Your 318 00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:32,720 Speaker 4: family may discount you, they may leave you out. Don't 319 00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:36,440 Speaker 4: take it personally. Just keep being your best, getting your 320 00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:41,120 Speaker 4: approval from your heavenly father. This happened with Jesus. His 321 00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:44,800 Speaker 4: brothers didn't believe in him. They saw him as average. 322 00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:48,120 Speaker 4: What's the big deal, what's all the commotion, It's just Jesus. 323 00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:51,840 Speaker 4: The people that should have supported him the most tried 324 00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:55,520 Speaker 4: to make him feel inferior. The people closest to you 325 00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:59,560 Speaker 4: may not acknowledge your gifts, they may not see your value, 326 00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:04,159 Speaker 4: but God does. David was left out. It wasn't fair. 327 00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:08,040 Speaker 4: But when Samuel looked at the other seven sons, he said, Jesse, 328 00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:11,280 Speaker 4: it's none of these. Do you have any more sons? 329 00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:15,440 Speaker 4: People may leave you out, but God doesn't leave you out. 330 00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:19,880 Speaker 4: If David had to have his family's approval, he would 331 00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:23,280 Speaker 4: have never taken the throne. Quit trying to make people 332 00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:26,000 Speaker 4: before you that are never going to be for you. 333 00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:30,240 Speaker 4: Quit feeling inferior because somebody close to you is not 334 00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:34,800 Speaker 4: celebrating you. If you needed their approval, you would get it. 335 00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:38,040 Speaker 4: If you're not getting it, that means you don't need 336 00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:43,600 Speaker 4: it to become who you were created to be. And 337 00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:47,880 Speaker 4: yes it may be hurtful, but it is not going 338 00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:51,680 Speaker 4: to keep you from your destiny. Sometimes it's God teaching 339 00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:55,680 Speaker 4: us to go to him and not to people. We 340 00:21:55,760 --> 00:22:00,120 Speaker 4: rely too much on what people think. Who believes in us? 341 00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:03,960 Speaker 4: And how come they're not supporting me. David's brothers made 342 00:22:03,960 --> 00:22:07,720 Speaker 4: fun of him, his father discounted him. He was stuck 343 00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:12,159 Speaker 4: out in the shepherd's fields. But instead of complaining feeling inferior, 344 00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:15,119 Speaker 4: he turned to God. He's the one that wrote in 345 00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:18,760 Speaker 4: Psalm twenty seven, if my mother and father forsake me, 346 00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:22,919 Speaker 4: God will adopt me as his own child. And I 347 00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:26,679 Speaker 4: know many of us had great parents that did their best, 348 00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:30,160 Speaker 4: but we all have people that are not giving us 349 00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:34,240 Speaker 4: their approval. They don't acknowledge our gifts, they don't see 350 00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:38,000 Speaker 4: what we have to offer. Don't live frustrated thinking that 351 00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:40,920 Speaker 4: there's something wrong with you trying to prove to them 352 00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:44,399 Speaker 4: who you are, trying to convince them to affirm you. 353 00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:48,919 Speaker 4: Let it go. There's nothing wrong with you. If you 354 00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:51,399 Speaker 4: had to have it, they would give it. Since you 355 00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:55,440 Speaker 4: don't shake it off, keep your head held high, knowing 356 00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:59,080 Speaker 4: that your heavenly father has approved you, accepted you, and 357 00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:03,359 Speaker 4: anointed you. Your value doesn't come from people, It comes 358 00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:08,199 Speaker 4: from your creator. A while back, somebody gave a watch 359 00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:10,639 Speaker 4: to the Ministry. I was out of town at one 360 00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:12,959 Speaker 4: of our events, and a man came up and handed 361 00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:15,960 Speaker 4: me this nice box. I opened it. It was a 362 00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:20,640 Speaker 4: beautiful watch. It wasn't super fancy, but it was attractive, sporty, 363 00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:24,199 Speaker 4: and of course I thanked him. I'm very grateful. I 364 00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:26,879 Speaker 4: brought it back and put it in my desk drawer. 365 00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:29,399 Speaker 4: A couple of months later, I opened the drawer to 366 00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:32,240 Speaker 4: get something out and there was the watch. I had 367 00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:35,320 Speaker 4: forgotten about it. I looked at it again and I 368 00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:38,600 Speaker 4: thought it cost a couple hundred dollars. I didn't notice 369 00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:42,120 Speaker 4: the name brand, but for some reason, I googled it. 370 00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:46,119 Speaker 4: When I did, I nearly passed out. The exact watch 371 00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:50,160 Speaker 4: came up. It was worth over ten thousand dollars. It's 372 00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:55,040 Speaker 4: from a very famous, prestigious watchmaker. It looked like to 373 00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:58,240 Speaker 4: me a lot of other watches that I'd seen that 374 00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:03,480 Speaker 4: cost several hundred dollars. But because of the manufacturer, this 375 00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:07,320 Speaker 4: watch was extremely valuable. You could put it side by 376 00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:11,359 Speaker 4: side and you wouldn't see much difference. Look average, ordinary 377 00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:15,840 Speaker 4: people had copied it. There were knockoffs. On the surface, 378 00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:19,600 Speaker 4: it seemed the same, but what gave it its value 379 00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:24,160 Speaker 4: was who made it. Sometimes we don't realize who we are. 380 00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:29,000 Speaker 4: You may feel average, ordinary, like nothing stands out, But 381 00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:33,200 Speaker 4: because of your maker, there's something about you that makes 382 00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:38,879 Speaker 4: you extremely valuable. You're not a copy, you're not a knockoff. 383 00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:44,520 Speaker 4: You're an original. The creator of the universe is your manufacturer. 384 00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:48,440 Speaker 4: You can't get any more prestigious than that. But if 385 00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:51,159 Speaker 4: you don't know who you are like I did with 386 00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:55,120 Speaker 4: the watch, you'll discount yourself. They got all, man, I'm ordinary, 387 00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:58,800 Speaker 4: nothing much to offer, nothing special about me. You need 388 00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:02,879 Speaker 4: to google your manuf. You have the fingerprints of God 389 00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:07,919 Speaker 4: all over you. Some one nine says God, I praise 390 00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:11,480 Speaker 4: you because you have made me in an amazing way. 391 00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:15,439 Speaker 4: What you have done is wonderful. If you're going to 392 00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:19,480 Speaker 4: recognize your value, you have to see yourself as amazing, 393 00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:23,840 Speaker 4: as wonderful, not because of who you are, but because 394 00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:27,120 Speaker 4: of who made you. Now life will try to make 395 00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:33,080 Speaker 4: you feel like you're anything but amazing. Disappointments, betrayals, rejection 396 00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:36,560 Speaker 4: will try to steal your sense of value. But all 397 00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:41,080 Speaker 4: through the day, despite what thoughts are telling you, despite 398 00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:44,600 Speaker 4: who left you out, you need to remind yourself. I 399 00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:49,920 Speaker 4: am amazing, I am a masterpiece. I have been wonderfully made. 400 00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:54,399 Speaker 4: Don't discount what God has created. Don't go around feeling 401 00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:59,119 Speaker 4: ordinary when in fact you're extraordinary. People may try to 402 00:25:59,119 --> 00:26:02,760 Speaker 4: make you feel like David's father, you don't have much 403 00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:06,320 Speaker 4: to offer. Are you going to believe what people say 404 00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:10,720 Speaker 4: about you? Or believe what God says about you? God 405 00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:15,240 Speaker 4: says you're amazing? Have you ever said that to yourself? 406 00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:19,480 Speaker 4: It has to start on the inside. I read where 407 00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:23,280 Speaker 4: Tom Brady's jersey that he wore during the Super Bowl 408 00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:27,639 Speaker 4: is worth five hundred thousand dollars. I can go online 409 00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:32,280 Speaker 4: and buy that same jersey for forty nine dollars. What's 410 00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:36,840 Speaker 4: the difference who it belongs to? Same jersey, same size, 411 00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:40,800 Speaker 4: same color, but one belongs to Tom Brady. That makes 412 00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:45,879 Speaker 4: it extremely valuable. The scripture says, you belong to God. 413 00:26:46,760 --> 00:26:50,960 Speaker 4: You may feel average, think you look ordinary, nothing special 414 00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:55,240 Speaker 4: about you, but because of who you belong to, that 415 00:26:55,359 --> 00:26:59,800 Speaker 4: makes you extremely valuable. Now my challenge, don't let people 416 00:26:59,840 --> 00:27:03,480 Speaker 4: do scount you. Don't let your own thoughts push you down, 417 00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:07,960 Speaker 4: put your shoulders back. You belong to God. You don't 418 00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:10,600 Speaker 4: have to prove anything. You don't have to try to 419 00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:15,280 Speaker 4: impress people. Just be who you are. Be amazing. If 420 00:27:15,359 --> 00:27:19,200 Speaker 4: you'll do this, I believe and declare every chain that's 421 00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:25,080 Speaker 4: held you back is being broken. You're going to live free, confidence, secure, valuable, 422 00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:29,160 Speaker 4: and become the masterpiece that God created you to be. 423 00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:32,760 Speaker 4: In Jesus' name. If you receive it, can you say it? 424 00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:33,040 Speaker 5: Men? 425 00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:37,920 Speaker 4: Today? I'd like to give you an opportunity to make 426 00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:41,040 Speaker 4: Jesus the lord of your life. Would you pray with me, 427 00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:47,240 Speaker 4: just say, Lord, Jesus, I repent of my sins. Come 428 00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:52,480 Speaker 4: into my heart. I make you my Lord and savior. Friends, 429 00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:54,920 Speaker 4: if you prayed that simple prayer, we believe you got 430 00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:58,760 Speaker 4: born again.
