Speaker 4: thanks for tuning in and thank you again for coming

00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:38,959
Speaker 4: out today. And I like to get started with something

34
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:42,120
Speaker 4: funny and heard about this five year old boy named Tommy.

35
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:46,679
Speaker 4: Was his grandmother's birthday, and after wishing her a happy birthday, he.

36
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:48,280
Speaker 3: Said, grandmother, how old are you?

37
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:52,800
Speaker 4: She said, Tommy, I'm thirty nine and holding he thought

38
00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:55,160
Speaker 4: about it a moment, said grandmother, how old would you

39
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:59,520
Speaker 4: be if you let go hold up your Bible say

40
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:02,360
Speaker 4: it like you mean it. This is my Bible. I

41
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:04,680
Speaker 4: am what it says I am. I have what it

42
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:07,160
Speaker 4: says I have, I can do what it says I

43
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:10,120
Speaker 4: can do. Today I will be taught the word of God.

44
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:14,640
Speaker 4: I boldly confess my mind is alert, my heart is receptive.

45
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:18,520
Speaker 4: I will never be the same. In Jesus' name, God

46
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:22,079
Speaker 4: bless you. I want to talk to you today about

47
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:26,840
Speaker 4: seeing yourself as a masterpiece. Too many people go around

48
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:28,800
Speaker 4: feeling wrong on the inside.

49
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:31,000
Speaker 3: They don't really like who they are.

50
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 4: They think if I was just a little taller, if

51
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:37,840
Speaker 4: I had a better personality, if my metabolism was a

52
00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:41,760
Speaker 4: little faster, or if I just look like her, then

53
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:43,320
Speaker 4: I would feel good about myself.

54
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:44,160
Speaker 3: Now.

55
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:47,520
Speaker 4: When God created you, he went to great links to

56
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:52,399
Speaker 4: make you exactly like He wanted. You didn't accidentally get

57
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:53,839
Speaker 4: your personality.

58
00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:55,079
Speaker 3: You didn't just happen to.

59
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:59,120
Speaker 4: Get your height, your looks, your skin color, your gifts.

60
00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:02,520
Speaker 4: God does designed you on purpose to be the way

61
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:07,080
Speaker 4: you are. You have what you need to fulfill your destiny.

62
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:09,560
Speaker 4: If you needed to be taller, God would have made

63
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:12,840
Speaker 4: you taller. If you needed to be a different nationality,

64
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:13,880
Speaker 4: God would have made.

65
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:14,919
Speaker 3: You that way.

66
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:18,240
Speaker 4: If you needed to look like her instead of you,

67
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:20,600
Speaker 4: you would have looked like her. You've got to be

68
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:24,520
Speaker 4: confident in who God made you to be. And Ephesians

69
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:27,680
Speaker 4: two ten says we are God's masterpiece.

70
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 3: That means you are not ordinary.

71
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:35,600
Speaker 4: You didn't come off an assembly line, you weren't mass produced.

72
00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 4: You are one of a kind. Nobody in this world

73
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:43,280
Speaker 4: has your fingerprints. There will never be another you. If

74
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:46,280
Speaker 4: you're going to reach your highest potential, you have to

75
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 4: see yourself as unique, as an original, as God's very

76
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:55,600
Speaker 4: own masterpiece. When I was in my early twenties, I

77
00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:59,320
Speaker 4: was sitting on the beach in India, all alone, watching

78
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:03,640
Speaker 4: the sun set. It was a magnificent sin. The water

79
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:06,800
Speaker 4: was so blue as far as I could see from

80
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:09,720
Speaker 4: the right to the left, miles and miles of beach

81
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:10,880
Speaker 4: and palm trees.

82
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:14,920
Speaker 3: The sun was huge on the horizon, just about to set.

83
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:16,839
Speaker 3: As I sat there.

84
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:21,680
Speaker 4: Reflecting, thinking about my life, I heard God ask me something,

85
00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:23,600
Speaker 4: not out loud, but just.

86
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:24,880
Speaker 3: An impression down in here.

87
00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:28,440
Speaker 4: He said, Joel, you think this is a beautiful picture,

88
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:31,240
Speaker 4: do you? I said, yes, God, I think this is

89
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:34,640
Speaker 4: a magnificent picture. He said, well, what do you think

90
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:40,040
Speaker 4: would be my most prized painting, my most incredible creation.

91
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:42,880
Speaker 4: I thought about it a moment. I said, God, it

92
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:45,840
Speaker 4: must be this sunset. This is magnificent. He said, no,

93
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:46,240
Speaker 4: it's not.

94
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:50,080
Speaker 3: This earlier that year, I'd been in the Rocky Mountains.

95
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:51,400
Speaker 3: They were spectacular.

96
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:53,719
Speaker 4: I said, God, I bet it's the Rocky Mountains.

97
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:55,400
Speaker 3: He said, no, not that thought.

98
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:58,560
Speaker 4: What could it be the Solar System, the Milky Way,

99
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:03,640
Speaker 4: he said, no. My most prized possession, the painting that

100
00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:08,120
Speaker 4: I'm the most proud of, is you. I thought me

101
00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:11,800
Speaker 4: couldn't be me. I'm an ordinary, I'm just like everybody else.

102
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:14,400
Speaker 4: He said, no, you don't understand. When I made the

103
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:18,400
Speaker 4: solar System, the waters, the mountains, I was proud of that.

104
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 3: That was great.

105
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 4: But Joel, when I made you, I breathed my very

106
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:28,160
Speaker 4: life into you. I created you in my own image. Friends,

107
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:33,560
Speaker 4: you are God's most prized possession. Don't go around feeling

108
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:37,640
Speaker 4: wrong about yourself. Quit wishing you were taller, had a

109
00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:41,920
Speaker 4: better personality, or looked like somebody else. You've been painted

110
00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:46,320
Speaker 4: by the most incredible painter there could ever be. When

111
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 4: God created you, he stepped back and looked, said.

112
00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:54,840
Speaker 3: That was good. Another masterpiece. He stamped his approval on you.

113
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:55,280
Speaker 3: You know how.

114
00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:57,600
Speaker 4: On the back of our shirts most of the time

115
00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:00,880
Speaker 4: there's a tag says made in America, made in China,

116
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:04,039
Speaker 4: made in Mexico. Well somewhere on you. There's a tag

117
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:08,520
Speaker 4: that says made by Almighty God. Now put your shoulders back,

118
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:13,520
Speaker 4: hold your head up high. You are extremely valuable. You

119
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:17,200
Speaker 4: have royal blood flowing through your veins. You are wearing

120
00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:20,640
Speaker 4: a crown of favor. When those thoughts come in the

121
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:23,760
Speaker 4: morning telling you everything that you're not, you need to

122
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:27,520
Speaker 4: remind yourself. I've got the fingerprints of God all over me,

123
00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:31,400
Speaker 4: the way I look, the way I smile, my gifts,

124
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:32,640
Speaker 4: my personality.

125
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:35,880
Speaker 3: I know I am not average. I am a masterpiece.

126
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:39,160
Speaker 4: That's the thoughts that should be playing in our mind

127
00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:44,400
Speaker 4: all day long. Not I'm slow, I'm unattractive, I'm just

128
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:48,200
Speaker 4: one of the seven billion people on earth. No, God

129
00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:52,600
Speaker 4: did not make anything average. If you have breath to breathe,

130
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:56,400
Speaker 4: you are a masterpiece. Now, people may try to make

131
00:06:56,440 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 4: you feel average. Your own thoughts may try to convince

132
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:03,120
Speaker 4: you that you're ordinary. Life will try to push you

133
00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:06,960
Speaker 4: down and steal your sense of value. That's why, all

134
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:10,360
Speaker 4: through the day you have to remind yourself who your

135
00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:14,000
Speaker 4: painter is. When you dwell on the fact that Almighty

136
00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:18,320
Speaker 4: God breathed his life into you, he approved you, equipped you,

137
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:23,200
Speaker 4: empowered you than any thoughts of low self esteem inferiority,

138
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:26,440
Speaker 4: they won't have a chance. A few years ago I

139
00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:29,400
Speaker 4: was in somebody's home and they have all these paintings

140
00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:32,840
Speaker 4: on the wall, and to me they weren't very impressive.

141
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:35,560
Speaker 4: In fact, some of them look like they had been

142
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:40,720
Speaker 4: painted by a child, very abstract, modern paint thrown here

143
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:44,760
Speaker 4: and there. But later that evening they mentioned how they

144
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 4: had paid over a million dollars for just one of

145
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:50,960
Speaker 4: those paintings. I looked at it again, thought, wow, that

146
00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:55,760
Speaker 4: is beautiful, isn't it. Come to find out it was

147
00:07:55,800 --> 00:08:01,160
Speaker 4: an original Picasso, painted by the famous artist Pablo Picasso.

148
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:05,000
Speaker 4: What dawned on me that night is it's not so

149
00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:08,720
Speaker 4: much what the painting looks like, it's who the painter is.

150
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:13,240
Speaker 4: The painting gets its value from its creator. In the

151
00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:16,560
Speaker 4: same way, our value doesn't come because of what we

152
00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:19,440
Speaker 4: look like, or what we do, or who we know.

153
00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:23,800
Speaker 4: Our value comes from the fact that Almighty God is

154
00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:27,960
Speaker 4: our painter. Now, don't criticize what God has painted.

155
00:08:28,840 --> 00:08:33,000
Speaker 3: Accept yourself. Approve yourself. You are not an accident.

156
00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:37,600
Speaker 4: You have been fearfully and wonderfully made. Now, I wonder

157
00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:40,680
Speaker 4: what would happen if all through the day, instead of

158
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:44,440
Speaker 4: putting ourselves down. Instead of dwelling on the negative, we

159
00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:48,640
Speaker 4: would go around thinking I'm a masterpiece, I'm wonderfully made,

160
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:54,120
Speaker 4: I'm talented, I'm original, I have everything that I need. See,

161
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:56,840
Speaker 4: the enemy doesn't want you to feel good about yourself.

162
00:08:57,440 --> 00:08:59,960
Speaker 4: He would love for you to go through life listen,

163
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:03,400
Speaker 4: listening to the nagging voices reminding you of everything that

164
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:03,840
Speaker 4: you're not.

165
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:07,400
Speaker 3: I dare you to get up each day and say.

166
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:12,640
Speaker 4: Good morning, you wonderful thing. You are fearfully and wonderfully made.

167
00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:16,000
Speaker 4: That's what David said, so on one thirty nine, God,

168
00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:19,520
Speaker 4: I praise you because you have made me in an

169
00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:24,679
Speaker 4: amazing way. What you have done is wonderful. How many

170
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:27,240
Speaker 4: of us will be bold enough to say, like David,

171
00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:32,120
Speaker 4: I'm amazing, I'm a masterpiece. Most people those thoughts never

172
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:36,120
Speaker 4: enter into their mind. They're too busy putting themselves down,

173
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:40,839
Speaker 4: focusing on their flaws, comparing themselves to others that they

174
00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:41,560
Speaker 4: think are better.

175
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:45,559
Speaker 3: No, your painter, your creator says.

176
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:48,560
Speaker 4: You're amazing, You're wonderful, You're a masterpiece.

177
00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:52,080
Speaker 3: Now it's up to you to get an agreement with God.

178
00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:56,000
Speaker 4: If you go around focused on your flaws, listening to

179
00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:58,120
Speaker 4: what other people are saying you can.

180
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:01,680
Speaker 3: Miss your destiny. A recording that should be.

181
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:05,239
Speaker 4: Playing in our mind all day long is I'm valuable.

182
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:08,880
Speaker 4: I'm a masterpiece. I'm a child of the most High God.

183
00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:12,840
Speaker 4: Some of you, this is what's holding you back. Your

184
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:17,520
Speaker 4: recording is negative. There are enough people in life already

185
00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:18,280
Speaker 4: against you.

186
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:20,119
Speaker 3: Don't be against yourself.

187
00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:25,720
Speaker 4: Change your recording, start seeing yourself as the masterpiece God

188
00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:29,280
Speaker 4: created you to be. I read a story about this

189
00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:33,400
Speaker 4: man that died in extreme poverty. At one point, he

190
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:36,600
Speaker 4: was homeless, living on the streets, barely.

191
00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:37,920
Speaker 3: Got by in life.

192
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:40,600
Speaker 4: After the funeral, some of his relatives went to the

193
00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:44,440
Speaker 4: rundown apartment and gathered up his belongings. He had a

194
00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:47,240
Speaker 4: painting on the wall. They took it down and sold

195
00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:50,240
Speaker 4: it at a garage cell. The person that bought it

196
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:54,040
Speaker 4: took the painting to the local art gallery to learn

197
00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:58,239
Speaker 4: more about it. Come to find out it was extremely valuable.

198
00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:01,840
Speaker 4: It had been painted by in the eighteen hundreds by

199
00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:05,880
Speaker 4: famous artist. It ended up selling at an auction for

200
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:10,640
Speaker 4: over three million dollars. That man lived his whole life

201
00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:15,280
Speaker 4: in poverty because he didn't realize what he had. In

202
00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:18,679
Speaker 4: the same way, every one of you has been painted

203
00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:22,680
Speaker 4: by the most famous artist there could ever be. But

204
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:26,319
Speaker 4: if you don't understand your value, you go around thinking, Wow,

205
00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:29,240
Speaker 4: I'm just kind of averaging. I'm not that talented, and

206
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:32,040
Speaker 4: I've made a lot of mistakes in life. If you

207
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:36,960
Speaker 4: let that negative recording play, just like this man, even

208
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:40,160
Speaker 4: though you have everything you need, even though you're full

209
00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:44,840
Speaker 4: of potential, you'll never tap into it. That's why every

210
00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:48,560
Speaker 4: morning you need to remind yourself I am not average,

211
00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:52,160
Speaker 4: I am not ordinary. I have the fingerprints of God

212
00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:56,000
Speaker 4: all over me. I am a masterpiece. There was an

213
00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:59,640
Speaker 4: article in a medical magazine. It talked about how these

214
00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:05,560
Speaker 4: researchers scientifically calculated how much money the human body is worth.

215
00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:12,640
Speaker 4: They added up the cost of all the enzymes, sells, tissue, organs, hormones,

216
00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:17,120
Speaker 4: everything contained in the body. They concluded that an average

217
00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:22,080
Speaker 4: sized person is worth six million dollars. You've heard of

218
00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:24,960
Speaker 4: the six million dollar man. Today, I am looking at

219
00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:28,319
Speaker 4: six million dollar people. You can put your shoulders back,

220
00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:31,840
Speaker 4: you can have a spring in your step. Your heavenly

221
00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:36,160
Speaker 4: father has invested six million dollars into you. The good

222
00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:38,640
Speaker 4: news is you didn't even have to pay taxes on it.

223
00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:44,200
Speaker 4: Think of this six million dollars is an average sized person.

224
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:48,880
Speaker 4: Some of you are worth nine million dollars. That's the

225
00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:50,640
Speaker 4: way to look at it. You're not overweight, You're just

226
00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:56,400
Speaker 4: more valuable. Jesus said to love your neighbor as you

227
00:12:56,480 --> 00:13:01,000
Speaker 4: love yourself. If you don't love yourself in a healthy way,

228
00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:04,080
Speaker 4: you will never be able to love others in the

229
00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:07,200
Speaker 4: way that you should. This is why some people don't

230
00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:11,160
Speaker 4: have good relationships. If you don't get along with yourself,

231
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:16,920
Speaker 4: you'll never get along with others. We all have weaknesses, shortcomings,

232
00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:20,559
Speaker 4: things that we wish were different, But God never designed

233
00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:25,000
Speaker 4: us to go through life being against ourselves. The opinion

234
00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:28,240
Speaker 4: you have of yourself is the most important opinion that

235
00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:32,920
Speaker 4: you have. If you see yourself as less than, not talented,

236
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:37,080
Speaker 4: not valuable, then you will become exactly that. You are

237
00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:42,880
Speaker 4: constantly conveying what you feel on the inside, even subconsciously,

238
00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:48,199
Speaker 4: you're sending messages out. If you feel unattractive on the inside,

239
00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:51,000
Speaker 4: you can be the most beautiful person in the world,

240
00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:55,680
Speaker 4: but you will convey feelings of unattractiveness that's going to

241
00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:59,439
Speaker 4: push people away. The problem is on the inside.

242
00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:01,800
Speaker 3: You carry yourself.

243
00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:05,840
Speaker 4: The way you see yourself I've seen just the opposite happen.

244
00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:07,280
Speaker 3: A few years ago.

245
00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:11,280
Speaker 4: I met a young lady, and on the surface, in

246
00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:14,160
Speaker 4: the natural and I say this very respectfully, she wasn't

247
00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:17,720
Speaker 4: necessarily attractive, she didn't have a lot of natural beauty,

248
00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:20,960
Speaker 4: But can I tell you, on the inside she had

249
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:24,120
Speaker 4: it going on. She knew she was made in the

250
00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:28,000
Speaker 4: image of Almighty God. She knew she was crowned with favor.

251
00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:33,240
Speaker 4: She may have looked ordinary, but she thought extraordinary. She

252
00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:37,840
Speaker 4: carried herself like a queen. She walked like she was royalty.

253
00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:41,840
Speaker 4: She smiled like she was Miss America. She dressed like

254
00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:44,800
Speaker 4: she was headed for the runway. She may have bought

255
00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:47,440
Speaker 4: it at a second hand store, but she wore it

256
00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:50,280
Speaker 4: like it was brand new from sax fifth. All I

257
00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:54,800
Speaker 4: could say was, you go, girl? What was the difference?

258
00:14:55,320 --> 00:15:01,200
Speaker 4: On the inside? She sees herself beautiful, strong, talent, valuable.

259
00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:04,880
Speaker 4: What's on the inside will eventually show up on the

260
00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:09,120
Speaker 4: outside because she sees herself as a masterpiece.

261
00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:15,080
Speaker 3: She exudes strength, beauty, confidence. Here's the key. People see

262
00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:19,280
Speaker 3: you the way you see yourself. If you see yourself.

263
00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:22,720
Speaker 4: Strong, talented, valuable with it, that's the way other people

264
00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:26,240
Speaker 4: will see you. That's the messages you're sending out. But

265
00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:30,160
Speaker 4: if you see yourself as less than, not talented, not valuable,

266
00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:31,320
Speaker 4: that's the way.

267
00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:33,520
Speaker 3: Others will see you, some of you.

268
00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:36,760
Speaker 4: If you would change the opinion you have of yourself,

269
00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:40,360
Speaker 4: if you had quit focusing on your flaws and everything

270
00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:43,680
Speaker 4: you wish was different, if you'd quit comparing yourself to

271
00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:47,280
Speaker 4: somebody else that you think is better, and start loving

272
00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:51,000
Speaker 4: yourself in a healthy way, being proud of who God

273
00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:53,680
Speaker 4: made you to be. Then as you send out these

274
00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:57,960
Speaker 4: different messages, it's going to bring new opportunities, new relationships,

275
00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:01,600
Speaker 4: new levels of God's favor. This is what the Israelites

276
00:16:01,640 --> 00:16:04,640
Speaker 4: did when ten of the spies came back from the

277
00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:05,480
Speaker 4: Promised Land.

278
00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:08,200
Speaker 3: They saw how huge their opponents were.

279
00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:12,320
Speaker 4: They said to Moses, we were in our own sites

280
00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:17,720
Speaker 4: as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sights. Notice

281
00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:21,480
Speaker 4: they didn't say, Moses, those people insulted us, they called

282
00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:25,720
Speaker 4: us grasshoppers. No, they went in with the grasshopper mentality.

283
00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:29,440
Speaker 4: They said, we were in our own sites as grasshoppers.

284
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:31,120
Speaker 3: That's what they conveyed.

285
00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:34,960
Speaker 4: Here's the principle at work, and so we were in

286
00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:39,000
Speaker 4: their sights. In other words, they saw us the way

287
00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:43,720
Speaker 4: we saw ourselves. If you put off feelings of inferiority,

288
00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:47,800
Speaker 4: people will treat you inferior. You may feel like you

289
00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:51,520
Speaker 4: have a disadvantage, like the Israelites. You don't have the size,

290
00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:53,320
Speaker 4: the talent, the education.

291
00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:54,360
Speaker 3: That's all right.

292
00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:58,560
Speaker 4: All that matters is Almighty God brethed his life into you.

293
00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:02,720
Speaker 4: He created you as a person of destiny. He put

294
00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:05,440
Speaker 4: seeds of greatness on the inside.

295
00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:06,960
Speaker 3: Now do your part.

296
00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:11,359
Speaker 4: Start seeing yourself as the masterpiece God created you to be.

297
00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:15,440
Speaker 4: The scripture talks about how God has made us to be.

298
00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:17,880
Speaker 3: Kings and priests unto him.

299
00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:22,800
Speaker 4: Men, you need to start seeing yourself as a king. Women,

300
00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:28,320
Speaker 4: start seeing yourself as a queen. Start carrying yourself like royalty,

301
00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:32,800
Speaker 4: not in arrogance, thinking that you're better than others. I'm

302
00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:37,080
Speaker 4: talking about inhumility. Be proud of who God made you

303
00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:40,600
Speaker 4: to be. You are not better than anyone else. But

304
00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:42,320
Speaker 4: can I tell you are.

305
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:43,840
Speaker 3: Not less than anyone else.

306
00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:48,359
Speaker 4: Doesn't matter how many degrees they have, doesn't matter how

307
00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:52,760
Speaker 4: important of a family they come from. Now understand, your

308
00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:57,280
Speaker 4: father created the whole universe. When he brethed his life

309
00:17:57,359 --> 00:18:00,000
Speaker 4: into you, sent you to planet Earth. You didn't come

310
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:03,480
Speaker 4: as ordinary. You didn't come as average. He put a

311
00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:08,800
Speaker 4: crown of honor on your head. Now start thinking like royalty,

312
00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:12,320
Speaker 4: talking like royalty, dressing like royalty, walking like.

313
00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:14,200
Speaker 3: Royalty, acting like royalty.

314
00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:17,439
Speaker 4: I was in England a few years ago and they

315
00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:20,800
Speaker 4: were having a ceremony to honor the Queen. When the

316
00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:23,960
Speaker 4: Queen walked in the room, you could feel the strength,

317
00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:28,720
Speaker 4: the confidence, the dignity. She had her head held high,

318
00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:33,280
Speaker 4: pleasant smile on her face. She waved at everyone like

319
00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:37,440
Speaker 4: they were her best friend. What's interesting is there were

320
00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:41,280
Speaker 4: all kinds of important people in that room. There were

321
00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:48,480
Speaker 4: presidents of other nations, world renowned entertainers, famous athletes, scientists,

322
00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:51,480
Speaker 4: some of the brightest, most talented.

323
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:52,000
Speaker 3: People in the world.

324
00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:56,040
Speaker 4: And I say this respectfully, but the Queen was not

325
00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:59,400
Speaker 4: the most beautiful person in the room. There were other

326
00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:03,320
Speaker 4: ladies that were younger, much more beautiful. But by the

327
00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:06,679
Speaker 4: way the Queen carried herself, you would have thought she

328
00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:12,080
Speaker 4: was the cat's meow. She had it going on, strong, confidence, secure.

329
00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:16,439
Speaker 4: The Queen wasn't the wealthiest woman in the room. She

330
00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:20,639
Speaker 4: wasn't the fittest nor the most educated. A lot of

331
00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:23,679
Speaker 4: people would have been intimidated walking into that room, but

332
00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:26,879
Speaker 4: not her. She walked in like she owned the place.

333
00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:31,439
Speaker 4: Why she knows who she is. She's the Queen. She

334
00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:35,840
Speaker 4: comes from a long line of royalty. It's been ingrained

335
00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:39,239
Speaker 4: in her thinking. I'm not average, I'm not ordinary. I

336
00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:42,840
Speaker 4: am one of a kind, no doubt. Some mornings when

337
00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:45,920
Speaker 4: the Queen wakes up, the same thoughts come to her

338
00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:48,840
Speaker 4: mind that come to all of us. You're not as

339
00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:52,200
Speaker 4: beautiful as your sister, You're not as talented as your brother,

340
00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:56,600
Speaker 4: You're not as smart as your coworker. Be intimidated your inferior.

341
00:19:57,520 --> 00:19:59,600
Speaker 4: The Queen lets that go in one ear and out

342
00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:02,840
Speaker 4: the other. She thinks, what are you talking about? Doesn't

343
00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:04,520
Speaker 4: matter how I compare to others.

344
00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:07,720
Speaker 3: I'm the Queen. I've got royalty in.

345
00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:14,800
Speaker 4: My blood, in my dna is, generations of influence, honor, prestige.

346
00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:18,040
Speaker 4: If you and I could ever just start seeing ourselves

347
00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:21,320
Speaker 4: as the kings the queens God made us to be,

348
00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:24,160
Speaker 4: we would never be intimidated again.

349
00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:26,480
Speaker 3: You don't have to be the.

350
00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:28,720
Speaker 4: Most talented to feel good about yourself.

351
00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:33,120
Speaker 3: You don't have to have the most education, the most success.

352
00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:39,399
Speaker 4: When you understand your heavenly father breths his life into you,

353
00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:43,320
Speaker 4: You too come from a long line of royalty. Instead

354
00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:47,280
Speaker 4: of being intimidated insecure by someone that you think is.

355
00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:49,359
Speaker 3: More important, you can do like the queen.

356
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:53,520
Speaker 4: Just be at ease, Be kind, be confident, be friendly,

357
00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:55,399
Speaker 4: knowing that you are one of a kind.

358
00:20:56,480 --> 00:20:56,880
Speaker 3: Ladies.

359
00:20:57,119 --> 00:20:59,600
Speaker 4: You may not be the most beautiful person, but be

360
00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:03,359
Speaker 4: confid you're the queen. Then you may not be the

361
00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:07,080
Speaker 4: most successful, but stand up tall. You're the king, not

362
00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:11,080
Speaker 4: crowned by people, but crowned by Almighty God. But a

363
00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:13,840
Speaker 4: lot of times we think, well, Joel, I can't feel

364
00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:17,639
Speaker 4: good about myself. I've got this addiction. I struggle with

365
00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:20,920
Speaker 4: a bad temper. I've made a lot of mistakes in life.

366
00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:22,760
Speaker 4: I sure don't feel like a masterpiece.

367
00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:24,359
Speaker 3: Now here's the key.

368
00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:29,320
Speaker 4: Your value is not based on your performance. You don't

369
00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:32,320
Speaker 4: have to do enough good and then maybe God will

370
00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:37,399
Speaker 4: approve you. God has already approved you. When Jesus was

371
00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:41,600
Speaker 4: being baptized by John in the Jordan River, he hadn't

372
00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:43,080
Speaker 4: started his ministry yet.

373
00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:45,120
Speaker 3: He had never opened one.

374
00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:49,520
Speaker 4: Blind eye, never raised the dead, never turned water into wine.

375
00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:51,560
Speaker 3: He had not performed one miracle.

376
00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:55,159
Speaker 4: But a voice boomed out of the heavens, and God

377
00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:59,320
Speaker 4: said This is my beloved son in whom I am

378
00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:04,320
Speaker 4: well pleased. His father was pleased with him because of

379
00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:08,159
Speaker 4: who he was and not because of anything he had

380
00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:11,480
Speaker 4: or had not done. We think, well, if I could

381
00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:14,720
Speaker 4: break this addiction, then I'd feel good about myself, If

382
00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:17,399
Speaker 4: I could read my Bible more, if I'd bite my

383
00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:20,440
Speaker 4: tongue and not argue so much, then maybe I wouldn't

384
00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:24,080
Speaker 4: be against myself. Now, you've got to learn to accept

385
00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:28,359
Speaker 4: yourself while you're in the process of changing. We all

386
00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:31,720
Speaker 4: have areas we need to improve, but we're not supposed

387
00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:35,160
Speaker 4: to go around down on ourselves because we haven't arrived.

388
00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:39,359
Speaker 4: When you're against yourself, it doesn't help you to do better.

389
00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:40,520
Speaker 3: It makes you do worse.

390
00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:44,320
Speaker 4: You may have a bad habit you know you need

391
00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:48,840
Speaker 4: to overcome. But if you go around guilty, condemned, thinking

392
00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:51,639
Speaker 4: about all the times you've failed, the times you've blown it,

393
00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:54,399
Speaker 4: that will not motivate you to go forward.

394
00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:56,160
Speaker 3: That's going to cause you to do worse.

395
00:22:56,800 --> 00:23:00,520
Speaker 4: You've got to shake off the guilt, shake off the commnation.

396
00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:03,159
Speaker 4: You may not be where you want to be, but

397
00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:05,440
Speaker 4: you can look back and thank God you're not where

398
00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:10,000
Speaker 4: you used to be. You're growing you're making progress. Now

399
00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:13,480
Speaker 4: do yourself a big favor and quit listening to the

400
00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:18,040
Speaker 4: accusing voices. That's the enemy trying to convince you to

401
00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:22,320
Speaker 4: be against yourself. He knows if you don't like yourself,

402
00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:25,320
Speaker 4: you will never become what God created you to be.

403
00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:28,000
Speaker 3: Genesis chapter one.

404
00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:30,680
Speaker 4: God had just created the heavens, the earth, the sea,

405
00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:35,280
Speaker 4: the animals, and Adam and Eve. Verse thirty one says

406
00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:39,360
Speaker 4: God looked over all that he had made and saw

407
00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:44,280
Speaker 4: how it was excellent in every way. When God looks

408
00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:48,000
Speaker 4: at you, he says, you are excellent in every way.

409
00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:52,160
Speaker 4: Well not me, Joel, I've got these bad habits. I've

410
00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:55,359
Speaker 4: got some shortcomings. I've made some mistakes in the past. No,

411
00:23:55,520 --> 00:23:59,400
Speaker 4: get out of that defeated mentality. You may not be perfect,

412
00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:03,280
Speaker 4: but God, God's not basing your value on your performance.

413
00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:06,280
Speaker 4: He's looking at your heart. He's looking at the fact

414
00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:09,359
Speaker 4: that you're trying. You wouldn't be here if you didn't

415
00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:12,119
Speaker 4: have a heart to please God. Now quit being down

416
00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:16,800
Speaker 4: on yourself, quit living condemned, and dare to believe you

417
00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:21,160
Speaker 4: are excellent in every way. Our attitude should be Yes,

418
00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:24,040
Speaker 4: I may make some mistakes, I may have some flaws

419
00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:26,879
Speaker 4: and weaknesses. But I am not going to live my

420
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:31,280
Speaker 4: life guilty, condemned. I know God has already approved me.

421
00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:35,400
Speaker 4: I am excellent in every way. I am his masterpiece.

422
00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:40,720
Speaker 4: If you're going to overcome in those areas, you have

423
00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:45,399
Speaker 4: to not only stay positive toward yourself, but be bold

424
00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:47,760
Speaker 4: enough to celebrate who.

425
00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:50,840
Speaker 3: God made you to be. Be proud of who you are.

426
00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:56,360
Speaker 4: I know people, they're good at celebrating others. They'll compliment

427
00:24:56,440 --> 00:24:59,840
Speaker 4: their friends. They'll brag on a cousin. You got to

428
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:03,000
Speaker 4: see my neighbor, he's an awesome football player. You gotta

429
00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:06,280
Speaker 4: meet my sister. She is so beautiful, and that's good.

430
00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:11,160
Speaker 4: We should celebrate others, but make sure you celebrate yourself.

431
00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:15,440
Speaker 4: You are smart, you are talented, you are beautiful. There

432
00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:20,000
Speaker 4: is something special about you. You can't get so caught

433
00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:24,199
Speaker 4: up in celebrating others, putting them on this high pedestal

434
00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:27,520
Speaker 4: to where you think they are so great and I'm

435
00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:32,800
Speaker 4: so average. She is so beautiful and I am so plain. No,

436
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:36,960
Speaker 4: they may have more natural beauty, more talent in some area,

437
00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:40,160
Speaker 4: but let me tell you, God didn't leave anybody out.

438
00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:43,440
Speaker 4: You have something that they don't have. You're good at

439
00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:46,040
Speaker 4: something that they're not good at and it's fine to

440
00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:49,000
Speaker 4: celebrate them and say, wow, look how great they are,

441
00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:52,320
Speaker 4: as long as you follow it up by saying internally,

442
00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:55,840
Speaker 4: and you know what, I'm great too, I'm smart too,

443
00:25:56,119 --> 00:25:59,240
Speaker 4: I'm talented too. It's like this man I heard about.

444
00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:02,520
Speaker 4: He was the mayor of a small town. He was

445
00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:06,040
Speaker 4: in a parade, riding in a float down main street

446
00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:09,520
Speaker 4: with his wife next to him. While he was waving

447
00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:12,680
Speaker 4: at all the different people, he spotted his wife's former

448
00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:14,080
Speaker 4: boyfriend in the crowd.

449
00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:17,040
Speaker 3: He owned and ran the local gas station.

450
00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:20,160
Speaker 4: He whispered to his wife, aren't you glad you didn't

451
00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:20,680
Speaker 4: marry him?

452
00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:22,440
Speaker 3: You'd be working at a gas station.

453
00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:25,800
Speaker 4: She whispered back, No, if i'd have married him.

454
00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:30,240
Speaker 3: He'd be the mayor. See, you got to know who

455
00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:30,680
Speaker 3: you are.

456
00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:36,119
Speaker 4: God breathed his life into you. You have royalty in

457
00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:40,160
Speaker 4: your blood. You are excellent in every way. Now put

458
00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:44,080
Speaker 4: your shoulders back, hold your head up high, start carrying

459
00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:48,280
Speaker 4: yourself like royalty. You are not average, You are not ordinary.

460
00:26:48,600 --> 00:26:49,840
Speaker 3: You are a masterpiece.

461
00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:54,439
Speaker 4: Get up every morning and remind yourself who your painter is.

462
00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:58,199
Speaker 4: Your value doesn't come because of who you are, It

463
00:26:58,280 --> 00:27:02,480
Speaker 4: comes because of who you are. Remember, the most important

464
00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:07,040
Speaker 4: opinion you have is the opinion of yourself. How you

465
00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:10,240
Speaker 4: see yourself is how other people are going to see you.

466
00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:13,920
