Don't anybody be offended by them. 52 00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:26,160 Speaker 5: But I heard about these three aspiring psychiatrists. They were 53 00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:30,520 Speaker 5: taking their first test on emotional extremes. The professor asked 54 00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:34,079 Speaker 5: the first student from Harvard, what's the opposite of sadness? 55 00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:35,960 Speaker 3: He replied happiness. 56 00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:39,520 Speaker 5: He asked the second student from Yale, what's the opposite 57 00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:43,920 Speaker 5: of depression? He replied joy. He asked the third student 58 00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:48,559 Speaker 5: from Texas, A and N. What's the opposite of woe? Woe? 59 00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:52,839 Speaker 5: The Haggi look kind of puzzled. He finally replied, giddy up. 60 00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:57,880 Speaker 5: All right, hold up your Bible. Say it like you 61 00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:01,000 Speaker 5: mean it. This is my Bible. I am what it 62 00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:03,560 Speaker 5: says I am. I have what it says I have. 63 00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:06,720 Speaker 5: I can do what it says I can do. Today 64 00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:10,280 Speaker 5: I will be taught the word of God. I boldly confess. 65 00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:14,240 Speaker 5: My mind is alert, my heart is receptive. I will 66 00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:18,040 Speaker 5: never be the same in Jesus' name, God bless you. 67 00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:21,480 Speaker 5: I want to talk to you today about how you 68 00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:26,480 Speaker 5: are uncontainable. When God created us, he put seeds of 69 00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:30,160 Speaker 5: increase on the inside. We were never made to reach 70 00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:34,120 Speaker 5: one level and stop. We were created to grow, to 71 00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:38,720 Speaker 5: move forward, to increase, and we should constantly be breaking 72 00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:42,600 Speaker 5: barriers of the past, taking new ground for our family, 73 00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:47,520 Speaker 5: and advancing God's kingdom. But throughout life there will always 74 00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:50,160 Speaker 5: be forces to try to keep us where we are. 75 00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:54,000 Speaker 5: They can't stop the progress that we've made, but they'll 76 00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:56,920 Speaker 5: do their best to contain us, to keep us in 77 00:03:56,960 --> 00:04:01,240 Speaker 5: a box and to limit our influence. Not long ago, 78 00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:04,960 Speaker 5: the swine flu came on the scene. Many experts believe 79 00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:08,920 Speaker 5: that it started in Mexico. They immediately shut the city down. 80 00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:12,880 Speaker 5: No one could come or go. Look like a ghost town, 81 00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:17,160 Speaker 5: no traffic, no people, no business. What were they doing 82 00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:20,839 Speaker 5: trying to contain it? They knew it might be contagious 83 00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:23,800 Speaker 5: and if it got past a few people, it could 84 00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:27,800 Speaker 5: multiply and spread all over. And that's what happened. Eventually, 85 00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:31,680 Speaker 5: it couldn't be contained. And that's the way the forces 86 00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:35,520 Speaker 5: of darkness try to work against us. They're constantly trying 87 00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:39,680 Speaker 5: to push us down, limit our influence, and keep us 88 00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:42,560 Speaker 5: from taking any new ground. But can I give you 89 00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:47,520 Speaker 5: some good news today? You are uncontainable. The forces that 90 00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:50,640 Speaker 5: are in you are greater than the forces that are 91 00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:51,640 Speaker 5: trying to contain you. 92 00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:53,719 Speaker 3: And if you're going to become. 93 00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:57,039 Speaker 5: Everything God's created you to be, you can't get stuck 94 00:04:57,080 --> 00:05:00,200 Speaker 5: in a rut and think you've reached your limits. To 95 00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:04,760 Speaker 5: keep stretching your faith, looking for new opportunities, new ideas, 96 00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:09,039 Speaker 5: and new ways to expand your influence. When I was 97 00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:12,119 Speaker 5: twelve years old, I played football. A friend of mine 98 00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:15,120 Speaker 5: was on the opposing team. He was their running back. 99 00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:19,760 Speaker 5: He was very fast, very quick, almost impossible to stop. 100 00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:23,680 Speaker 5: We were going to play his team. Our coach came 101 00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:27,360 Speaker 5: up with a special defense. He put twice as many 102 00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:30,960 Speaker 5: guys on his side. The phrase he used all week 103 00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:34,359 Speaker 5: was contain him. I must have heard that phrase a 104 00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:37,719 Speaker 5: thousand times. The coach had us focus one group on 105 00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:40,919 Speaker 5: the outside, one group on the inside. We worked in 106 00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:44,040 Speaker 5: work trying to figure out how to stop him. Well, 107 00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:46,760 Speaker 5: when the game rolled around, it was like we had 108 00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:50,000 Speaker 5: not even practiced. He was so much quicker than us. 109 00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:52,520 Speaker 5: The coach could have put the whole team on him. 110 00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:55,320 Speaker 5: He still would have gotten by. Even when we were 111 00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:58,120 Speaker 5: able to grab him. It was like he was covered 112 00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:00,960 Speaker 5: with oil. We couldn't hang on. He would twist and 113 00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:01,520 Speaker 5: turn and. 114 00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:02,640 Speaker 3: Always get away. 115 00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:07,200 Speaker 5: What was the problem. He was uncontainable. That's the way 116 00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:10,039 Speaker 5: I want you to see yourself. You have the spirit 117 00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:13,760 Speaker 5: of the Living God on the inside. His anointing on 118 00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:17,080 Speaker 5: your life is just like oil. When something tries to 119 00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:20,080 Speaker 5: stop you, hold you down, it doesn't have a chance 120 00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:23,799 Speaker 5: in your imagination. You just twist and turn and see 121 00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:27,960 Speaker 5: that sliding off. You are uncontainable. For some of you 122 00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:31,679 Speaker 5: today have gotten complacent and you've settled where you are. 123 00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:35,120 Speaker 5: You believe those lies that you've gone as far as 124 00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:38,640 Speaker 5: you can go. You've made too many mistakes. You come 125 00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:42,599 Speaker 5: from the wrong family. You've got this handicap. Now I'm 126 00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:46,920 Speaker 5: here to infect you with a virus. It's a good virus, 127 00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:49,800 Speaker 5: a god virus. It says you were made for more, 128 00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:55,479 Speaker 5: to influence, more, to accomplish, more, love, more, to give, more. 129 00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:57,000 Speaker 3: To have more friends. 130 00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:59,880 Speaker 5: I've got to warn you today, I'm highly contagious, and 131 00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:03,520 Speaker 5: I'm infecting you with faith. I'm infecting you with vision. 132 00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:10,320 Speaker 5: I'm infecting you with joy. God is saying you have 133 00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:13,280 Speaker 5: not touched the surface of what he has in store 134 00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:15,920 Speaker 5: for you. He is going to take you places that 135 00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:19,520 Speaker 5: you've never dreamed of. He's going to bring opportunities that 136 00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:24,360 Speaker 5: give you amazing influence. You have not seen your best days. 137 00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:26,800 Speaker 5: They are still out in front of you. Now you've 138 00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:29,360 Speaker 5: got to dig your heels in and say, I will 139 00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:32,800 Speaker 5: not be contained by people by the way I was 140 00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:38,160 Speaker 5: raised by mistakes I've made by some injustice, disappointment, or 141 00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:41,760 Speaker 5: even handicap. Now I have my mind made up. Where 142 00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:45,240 Speaker 5: I am is not where I'm staying. I'm rising higher. 143 00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:47,720 Speaker 5: I'm going to be a barrier breaker. I'm going to 144 00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:51,400 Speaker 5: take new ground for God's kingdom. It's time for us, 145 00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:55,520 Speaker 5: as God's people to rise up and become leaders and 146 00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:59,920 Speaker 5: have influence and respect and credibility, not just in our own. 147 00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:01,800 Speaker 3: Miracle, but in the marketplace. 148 00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:05,600 Speaker 5: That means in the general public, in the schools, in 149 00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:08,800 Speaker 5: the government, arts, sports entertainment. 150 00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:11,920 Speaker 3: We're not supposed to hide our gifts. 151 00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:14,280 Speaker 5: And go around feeling like we're second class and we 152 00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:17,240 Speaker 5: don't have that much to offer. Now, put your shoulders back, 153 00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:20,080 Speaker 5: hold your head up high. You are a child of 154 00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:24,240 Speaker 5: the most High God, God breathed his life into you. 155 00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:26,800 Speaker 3: You have something incredible to offer. 156 00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:31,720 Speaker 5: In the coming days, God is going to increase your influence. 157 00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:33,480 Speaker 3: I love the story. 158 00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:36,760 Speaker 5: In Acts chapter four, Peter and John had prayed for people, 159 00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:40,280 Speaker 5: and they had gotten well, and great miracles had taken place. 160 00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:43,160 Speaker 5: They had a big service, and all kinds of good 161 00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:46,480 Speaker 5: things happened. But the city leaders didn't know what. 162 00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:47,160 Speaker 3: To do with them. 163 00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:50,760 Speaker 5: They weren't for them, they didn't fit in their box. 164 00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:54,360 Speaker 5: Instead of being happy about it, they said in Acts four, 165 00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:59,080 Speaker 5: verses sixteen and seventeen, we cannot deny that a notable 166 00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:02,679 Speaker 5: miracle has taken place. But here's our plan that it 167 00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:06,120 Speaker 5: spread no further. They were saying, in effect, we're just 168 00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:09,920 Speaker 5: gonna push him down, lessen their influence, and try to 169 00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:14,480 Speaker 5: contain them. But Peter and John understood this principle. They 170 00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:18,280 Speaker 5: know we cannot be contained the dream God put in 171 00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:21,840 Speaker 5: our heart. As long as we stay in faith, nothing 172 00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:26,280 Speaker 5: can shut it down. And that message was not restricted. 173 00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:29,480 Speaker 5: Its spread like wildfire. And here we're still talking about 174 00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:29,920 Speaker 5: it today. 175 00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:31,240 Speaker 3: What am I saying? 176 00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:35,560 Speaker 5: You cannot be contained. People may try to push you down. 177 00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:39,000 Speaker 5: Somebody may try to discourage you and close some doors. 178 00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:42,080 Speaker 5: But if you'll just keep pressing forward, shaking that off, 179 00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:45,320 Speaker 5: God will open up doors that no man can shut. 180 00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:48,640 Speaker 5: God will raise you up even though somebody else is 181 00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:52,640 Speaker 5: trying to push you down. I think about Nelson Mandela. 182 00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:56,280 Speaker 5: He was put in prison because he opposed the government 183 00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:59,680 Speaker 5: of apartheid. The leaders thought they had finally gotten rid 184 00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:03,040 Speaker 5: of him, they wouldn't have to deal with his opposition anymore. 185 00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:06,400 Speaker 5: Mister Mandela could have thought, well, I did my best, 186 00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:09,480 Speaker 5: gave it my all. I guess it wasn't meant to be. No, 187 00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:15,640 Speaker 5: Nelson Mandela knew he couldn't be contained by people, by injustice, 188 00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:20,880 Speaker 5: by racism, by hatred, even by prison walls. Twenty seven 189 00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:24,360 Speaker 5: years later, he walked out a free man. Eventually, he 190 00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:27,160 Speaker 5: became president of that same country and. 191 00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:29,079 Speaker 3: Won the Nobel Peace Prize. 192 00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:33,920 Speaker 5: Friends, what God has destined for your life will come 193 00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:36,520 Speaker 5: to fulfill it. For some of you think you've got 194 00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:39,960 Speaker 5: too many obstacles, and you've had too many closed doors, 195 00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:41,440 Speaker 5: and it's been too long. 196 00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:43,400 Speaker 3: You don't see how it could ever happen. 197 00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:46,199 Speaker 5: Now you've got to get your fire back, get your 198 00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:49,880 Speaker 5: dream back. It may look impossible, but God is saying 199 00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:56,120 Speaker 5: that setback cannot contain you. That injustice, that disappointment, that 200 00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:58,199 Speaker 5: bad break cannot hold you down. 201 00:10:58,760 --> 00:10:59,760 Speaker 3: If you will get rid of. 202 00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:04,280 Speaker 5: That limited mentality and press forward in faith, God will 203 00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:07,719 Speaker 5: still get you to where you're supposed to be. That's 204 00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:10,480 Speaker 5: what happened to the apostle Paul. He was put in 205 00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:14,800 Speaker 5: prison for spreading the good news. Paul could have gotten depressed, discouraged, 206 00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:18,520 Speaker 5: given up. Instead, his attitude was I may not be 207 00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:21,440 Speaker 5: able to go out and minister, but I do have 208 00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:24,000 Speaker 5: a pen. I do have a piece of paper I 209 00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:27,240 Speaker 5: can write. He ended up writing much of the New 210 00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:31,600 Speaker 5: Testament from a prison cell. They thought they were containing him, 211 00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:33,640 Speaker 5: but it did just the opposite. 212 00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:34,680 Speaker 3: It backfired. 213 00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:38,120 Speaker 5: Paul had more influence with his writings than he ever 214 00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:39,000 Speaker 5: did in person. 215 00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:41,600 Speaker 3: Now I want you to get this down in your spirit. 216 00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:46,920 Speaker 5: God is going to increase your influence. The scripture talks 217 00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:50,880 Speaker 5: about how God will cause his light to shine down 218 00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:53,480 Speaker 5: on us, his face to shine down on us. 219 00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:54,680 Speaker 3: That's his favor. 220 00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:58,760 Speaker 5: You need to start expecting this favor as never before. 221 00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:02,280 Speaker 5: God wants you to be a barrier breaker. He wants 222 00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:05,360 Speaker 5: you to take new ground for the kingdom. But it 223 00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:08,880 Speaker 5: seems like in days past, the church has been seen 224 00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:11,840 Speaker 5: as kind of secondary that's for people that don't have 225 00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:15,280 Speaker 5: anything better to do, and we fall into that mentality 226 00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:18,520 Speaker 5: at times we think, well, not that talented, I don't 227 00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:22,000 Speaker 5: have too much to offer. And too often we thought, 228 00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:25,480 Speaker 5: let us just take the leftovers. We can't afford anything. 229 00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:27,400 Speaker 5: If you can, just give us a discount, if you can, 230 00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:32,760 Speaker 5: just please help us. No influence, no abundant mentality. In fact, 231 00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:36,520 Speaker 5: this is exactly how my father started out. My dad 232 00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:40,640 Speaker 5: grew up extremely poor and he developed a barely get 233 00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:44,160 Speaker 5: by mentality. He never thought he would have enough, and 234 00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:47,800 Speaker 5: he certainly never thought he would have any influence. It 235 00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:51,160 Speaker 5: took him years and years to get rid of a 236 00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:56,800 Speaker 5: poverty mindset, a second class mentality. One day he realized 237 00:12:56,840 --> 00:12:59,600 Speaker 5: what I'm telling you, He didn't have to be contained 238 00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:02,600 Speaker 5: by how he was raised. Rather, he was created to 239 00:13:02,679 --> 00:13:06,800 Speaker 5: live an abundant life. He developed a new mindset. I 240 00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:10,200 Speaker 5: remember one time my father was at a store to 241 00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:13,480 Speaker 5: buy a suit. When the salesperson found out he was 242 00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:16,800 Speaker 5: a minister. He said to my father, let me go 243 00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:19,960 Speaker 5: talk to my manager. Maybe we can give you a 244 00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:24,120 Speaker 5: minister's discount. Years earlier, my father would have been jumping 245 00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:26,840 Speaker 5: up and down, rejoicing God. You're meeting my needs. And 246 00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:29,040 Speaker 5: my dad loved to get a good deal. We're certainly 247 00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:32,120 Speaker 5: not against that, but he had come through so much 248 00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:35,920 Speaker 5: poverty and lack and defeat that just didn't set well 249 00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:39,280 Speaker 5: with him. He said, listen, brother, I appreciate you wanting 250 00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:41,640 Speaker 5: to help me, but I got to tell you I 251 00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:45,400 Speaker 5: don't need a minister's discount. I am not a beggar. 252 00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:48,920 Speaker 5: I'm not looking for a handout. I am not second class. 253 00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:51,920 Speaker 5: I am a child of the most high God. I 254 00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:55,200 Speaker 5: am blessed, I am prosperous, and I am well able 255 00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:59,280 Speaker 5: to pay the full price. That man looked at him 256 00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:02,280 Speaker 5: and said, man, I have never met a minister like you. 257 00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:06,319 Speaker 3: What was that? My father was a barrier breaker. 258 00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:09,800 Speaker 5: He believed that he could rise higher and he didn't 259 00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:12,640 Speaker 5: have to be contained by how he was raised and 260 00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:15,600 Speaker 5: what he saw model growing up. He saw God do 261 00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:20,120 Speaker 5: amazing things in his life. But too often God's people 262 00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:24,280 Speaker 5: have seen themselves as second class and poor and defeated 263 00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:28,360 Speaker 5: and let me just barely scrape by no influence, no 264 00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:32,000 Speaker 5: respect and credibility like it should be from our peers. 265 00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:35,200 Speaker 5: But thank God, this is a new day, there's a 266 00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:38,880 Speaker 5: new generation rising up, people that say, I know who 267 00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:42,320 Speaker 5: I am, a child of Almighty God. Now I don't 268 00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:45,800 Speaker 5: have to be contained by how I was raised, by 269 00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:49,080 Speaker 5: what I've seen in the past. I know I am 270 00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:52,480 Speaker 5: a barrier breaker, I am a person of influence. So 271 00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:55,560 Speaker 5: I'm gonna move forward and take new ground, not just 272 00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:58,920 Speaker 5: from my family, but I'm gonna advance God's kingdom. 273 00:14:59,320 --> 00:14:59,640 Speaker 3: Friends. 274 00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:03,320 Speaker 5: It all starts in our thinking. Don't be contained in 275 00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:07,160 Speaker 5: your mind. Who told you you can't rise any higher. 276 00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:10,880 Speaker 5: Who told you you'll never be successful, You'll never own 277 00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:14,200 Speaker 5: that nice house, You'll never be in management, you'll never 278 00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:17,600 Speaker 5: have any more influence. Those are lies from the enemy. 279 00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:20,280 Speaker 5: Let me tell you what I know about you. Some 280 00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:22,320 Speaker 5: of you are going to write a book that will 281 00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:25,920 Speaker 5: touch millions of people. Some of you will develop medicine 282 00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:28,960 Speaker 5: that will impact our world. Some of you will see 283 00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:31,800 Speaker 5: your movies at the top of the charts. Some of 284 00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:34,320 Speaker 5: you will have a ministry that will shake your nation. 285 00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:38,560 Speaker 5: Some of you will develop software that will revolutionize business. 286 00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:40,120 Speaker 3: Some of you will start a. 287 00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:43,840 Speaker 5: Company that will be a global force in the economy. 288 00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:48,040 Speaker 5: Some of you will be the next leaders of your community, 289 00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:54,720 Speaker 5: of your city, of your state even of your nation. Now, 290 00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:56,680 Speaker 5: don't you dare sit back and say, well, that couldn't 291 00:15:56,720 --> 00:15:59,680 Speaker 5: be me, Joel, I don't have the education. I'm not 292 00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:03,040 Speaker 5: that I don't have the contacts. Now, you've got to 293 00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:07,040 Speaker 5: start seeing yourself differently. You are a barrier breaker, you 294 00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:10,720 Speaker 5: are uncontainable. You've got so much talent in you, so 295 00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:13,120 Speaker 5: much potential. There are seeds of. 296 00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:14,680 Speaker 3: Greatness on the inside. 297 00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:17,840 Speaker 5: And if you will break free from a limited mindset 298 00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:22,560 Speaker 5: and enlarger vision, you will see God take you places that. 299 00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:25,320 Speaker 3: You've never even dreamed of. That's what God has done 300 00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:26,040 Speaker 3: for us. 301 00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:28,480 Speaker 5: I think about the fact that we're sitting in this 302 00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:32,520 Speaker 5: beautiful facility today. I tried to go the traditional route 303 00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:36,120 Speaker 5: and buy some property and build a sanctuary on it. 304 00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:39,440 Speaker 5: But God's dream for our life is always so much 305 00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:43,320 Speaker 5: bigger than our own. God gave us this beautiful former 306 00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:48,280 Speaker 5: sports facility, the premier auditorium in the fourth largest. 307 00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:48,840 Speaker 3: City in America. 308 00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:53,000 Speaker 5: What was that we broke barriers? God helped us to 309 00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:56,120 Speaker 5: pave the way to go further. Now other people can 310 00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:58,680 Speaker 5: come behind us and do the same thing. And you know, 311 00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:02,400 Speaker 5: it's not just about being bigger, not just about the size. 312 00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:06,760 Speaker 5: It's about advancing the kingdom. It's about making a mark 313 00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:09,800 Speaker 5: in our generation. That's the way God wants it to be. 314 00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:16,680 Speaker 5: Every generation should increase. Our former campus was on very 315 00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:20,720 Speaker 5: small side streets in a rural section of town. Great 316 00:17:20,720 --> 00:17:23,280 Speaker 5: people over there, but over time it had really gotten 317 00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:23,879 Speaker 5: run down. 318 00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:26,120 Speaker 3: Through the years, people used to. 319 00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:28,960 Speaker 5: Say to my parents, what are you doing still over 320 00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:32,040 Speaker 5: here in this part of town. Some of them even 321 00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:34,960 Speaker 5: ridiculed them, saw them as second class. 322 00:17:35,400 --> 00:17:37,080 Speaker 3: But isn't it interesting. 323 00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:39,359 Speaker 5: How God has a way of always giving you the 324 00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:42,960 Speaker 5: last laugh. Today we're not on a side street. We're 325 00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:46,639 Speaker 5: on the second busiest freeway in the nation, sitting on 326 00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:49,000 Speaker 5: a prime He's a property. 327 00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:54,960 Speaker 3: God didn't just give us a building. He increased our influence. 328 00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:58,480 Speaker 5: It's happening all over I think about when I was 329 00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:02,600 Speaker 5: growing up, I heard Christian music in our church services, 330 00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:05,040 Speaker 5: and maybe ever once in a while through the years 331 00:18:05,080 --> 00:18:07,800 Speaker 5: of the radio stations would play it, but not that much. 332 00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:09,240 Speaker 3: But this is a new day. 333 00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:12,000 Speaker 5: A couple of months ago, I was watching a ballgame 334 00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:16,120 Speaker 5: and a national commercial came on for a cell phone company. 335 00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:20,280 Speaker 5: The music in the background was you are good All 336 00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:23,840 Speaker 5: the time, You are good. It's the song that Israel 337 00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:25,480 Speaker 5: road that we sing all the time. 338 00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:27,000 Speaker 3: What's happening. 339 00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:31,240 Speaker 5: We can't be contained. We are dangerous, We're on the loose, 340 00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:37,879 Speaker 5: don't you know. The enemies having a nervous breakdown. They 341 00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:40,600 Speaker 5: tried to stop us from building a new sanctuary, and 342 00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:44,560 Speaker 5: God blessed us with a premier sports facility. They try 343 00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:46,960 Speaker 5: to push down your talent, try to contain you, but 344 00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:51,000 Speaker 5: they'll pop up on commercials, movies, on the sports fields. 345 00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:54,399 Speaker 5: People today are not ashamed of their faith. Even in 346 00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:57,199 Speaker 5: the business world, people are not afraid to admit, you 347 00:18:57,240 --> 00:18:59,080 Speaker 5: know what, My talent comes from the Lord. 348 00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:01,160 Speaker 3: He's the one He's giving me my skills. 349 00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:06,439 Speaker 5: A few months back, my children were watching American Idol. 350 00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:09,440 Speaker 5: At the end of the program, all the contestants came 351 00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:12,520 Speaker 5: back on and they started singing a song that our 352 00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:15,120 Speaker 5: friend Darlene Check wrote, Shout. 353 00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:16,280 Speaker 3: To the Lord all the earth. 354 00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:19,520 Speaker 5: Let us sing, not on a church program, but on 355 00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:22,280 Speaker 5: the number one program in all of television. 356 00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:23,680 Speaker 3: It can't be contained. 357 00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:24,159 Speaker 2: Now. 358 00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:26,040 Speaker 5: I want you to get this down in your spirit. 359 00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:29,040 Speaker 5: God is going to increase your influence. 360 00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:29,919 Speaker 3: He's going to. 361 00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:32,639 Speaker 5: Cause your gifts and talents to come out in a 362 00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:36,800 Speaker 5: greater way. His face is shining down on you right now. 363 00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:40,719 Speaker 5: You got to get rid of every limited, not talented. 364 00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:44,679 Speaker 5: Don't have what it takes second class mentality. You have 365 00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:53,280 Speaker 5: exactly what you need. There are in you right now, gifts, talents, ideas, inventions, books, movies. 366 00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:55,920 Speaker 5: They are just waiting to come out. It's going to 367 00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:59,159 Speaker 5: be like an explosion. You better get ready. God is 368 00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:02,720 Speaker 5: about to thrust you into a new level of your destiny. 369 00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:04,320 Speaker 3: You cannot be contained. 370 00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:08,679 Speaker 5: It's been said that the most famous sports facility in 371 00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:12,439 Speaker 5: the world is Yankee Stadium. A while back, when they 372 00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:17,240 Speaker 5: were finishing building their new ballpark, someone from their organization called. 373 00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:20,040 Speaker 5: They invited us to come and bring one of our 374 00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:23,480 Speaker 5: Nights of Hope and be the first non baseball event 375 00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:26,879 Speaker 5: in the new Yankee Stadium. When my staff told me, 376 00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:29,520 Speaker 5: I thought they were joking. I said, why do they 377 00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:35,000 Speaker 5: want to invite me? They could invite the Rolling Stones, Madonna, Elvis, 378 00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:41,480 Speaker 5: but instead, but instead they invited this good looking minister 379 00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:48,280 Speaker 5: from Texas. And what was God doing increasing our influence? 380 00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:52,200 Speaker 5: God was opening doors that no man can shut. We 381 00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:54,080 Speaker 5: were able to take new ground. 382 00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:54,679 Speaker 3: For the Kingdom. 383 00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:57,480 Speaker 5: But so often we think all nothing like that would 384 00:20:57,480 --> 00:21:00,480 Speaker 5: happen for me. You don't know my circumstance, and said, Joe, 385 00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:03,560 Speaker 5: you don't know what I've been through. Listen, God is 386 00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:07,440 Speaker 5: not limited by your circumstances. God is not contained by 387 00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:11,080 Speaker 5: your education, by your environment, how you were raised. All 388 00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:14,440 Speaker 5: God has to do is breathe in your direction. All 389 00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:16,840 Speaker 5: he has to do is blow the wind of his 390 00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:20,240 Speaker 5: favor your way. You could be standing at the very 391 00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:23,879 Speaker 5: back of the line, but if the winds change and 392 00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:27,240 Speaker 5: blow the other direction, instead of being last, you'll be first. 393 00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:31,119 Speaker 5: A couple of years ago, I was at an amusement 394 00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:34,159 Speaker 5: park with our two children. We were waiting in this 395 00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:37,440 Speaker 5: very long line for a popular ride, and at first 396 00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:39,960 Speaker 5: it was all single file, but when you got close 397 00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:42,320 Speaker 5: to the front, you went into this small room and 398 00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:44,200 Speaker 5: waited to get on the ride. And the room was 399 00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:46,760 Speaker 5: about twenty by twenty, and we were the first ones 400 00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:49,440 Speaker 5: in this new batch, and so we naturally just walked 401 00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:52,360 Speaker 5: up to the front. But when all the other people came, 402 00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:55,080 Speaker 5: most of them were kids. They were so excited and 403 00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:58,600 Speaker 5: so anxious about getting on. Somehow they maneuvered their way 404 00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:01,240 Speaker 5: in front of me. And I'm more laid back, and 405 00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:02,840 Speaker 5: I wasn't gonna get in there and fight with him 406 00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:05,600 Speaker 5: try to stand our ground. We ended up at the 407 00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:09,160 Speaker 5: very back of the room, right where we came in. 408 00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:11,240 Speaker 5: A couple of minutes, this young lady came out that 409 00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:14,720 Speaker 5: worked there, and she made announcements and told some instructions 410 00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:17,240 Speaker 5: about what was going on. Then she says, everybody ready 411 00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:19,480 Speaker 5: to go, and anybody said yeah. She said, okay, turn 412 00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:22,000 Speaker 5: around and go back out the doors. You just came 413 00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:26,880 Speaker 5: in right where we were standing up. I wanted to say, nanny, nanny, 414 00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:32,760 Speaker 5: boo boooo. I thought we would be last, but we 415 00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:33,439 Speaker 5: were the first. 416 00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:35,359 Speaker 3: What am I saying? 417 00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:38,720 Speaker 5: All God has to do is change the direction of 418 00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:41,480 Speaker 5: the wind and you'll be first in line. That's God's 419 00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:46,040 Speaker 5: favor on your life. God just has to change the 420 00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:49,400 Speaker 5: direction and he can blow a compact center you'll weigh 421 00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:51,960 Speaker 5: like he did for us, or more practical, he can 422 00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:55,679 Speaker 5: blow a new job, opportunity, a new person, a new 423 00:22:56,040 --> 00:22:58,840 Speaker 5: level of his favor, and you may feel like today, man, 424 00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:00,960 Speaker 5: you are at the back of the line. Nothing's going 425 00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:03,480 Speaker 5: your way, never getting any good breaks. You need to 426 00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:07,040 Speaker 5: get ready. God's wind is about to blow in your direction. 427 00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:11,720 Speaker 5: That's what happened to a friend of mine. You heard 428 00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:15,119 Speaker 5: the story recently of doctor Todd Price. He told how 429 00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:17,679 Speaker 5: he grew up in a small town in Kentucky and 430 00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:20,280 Speaker 5: he came from a lower income family. 431 00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:22,359 Speaker 3: Didn't never look like he would make much. 432 00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:24,760 Speaker 5: Of his life, But as a young boy, he saw 433 00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:27,800 Speaker 5: a program on television that talked about how they were 434 00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:32,359 Speaker 5: starving children, kids just that were desperately in need of food, 435 00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:36,000 Speaker 5: and for fifteen dollars a month, you could sponsor a child. 436 00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:39,680 Speaker 5: Nobody asked him to do it, his parents didn't encourage him, 437 00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:43,040 Speaker 5: but he was so moved by that program. At twelve 438 00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:46,600 Speaker 5: years old, he went out and started mowing lawns and 439 00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:49,320 Speaker 5: he used that money to sponsor a child. 440 00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:51,680 Speaker 3: That was over forty years ago. 441 00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:56,240 Speaker 5: Today, doctor Price not only has a successful medical practice, 442 00:23:56,560 --> 00:23:59,520 Speaker 5: but this year to date he has given over two 443 00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:04,080 Speaker 5: hundred and fifty million dollars worth of medicine to needy 444 00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:05,359 Speaker 5: people around the world. 445 00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:07,280 Speaker 3: He went from. 446 00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:11,160 Speaker 5: Fifteen dollars to a quarter of a billion dollars. 447 00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:14,320 Speaker 3: See doctor Price is a barrier breaker. 448 00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:17,880 Speaker 5: He didn't let the limitations of the past and how 449 00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:21,760 Speaker 5: he was raised keep him from rising higher in the natural. 450 00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:24,639 Speaker 5: It didn't look like he could ever go to medical school, 451 00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:27,720 Speaker 5: ever make much of his life, but he didn't allow 452 00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:32,119 Speaker 5: those strongholds to take root. Deep down, he knew he 453 00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:36,040 Speaker 5: was uncontainable. He knew the creator of the universe was 454 00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:40,159 Speaker 5: breathing in his direction. Today he's taken new ground for 455 00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:43,480 Speaker 5: the Kingdom. He's making a mark that cannot be erased. 456 00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:47,000 Speaker 5: I saw a report on television recently about a young 457 00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:49,120 Speaker 5: girl that has severe autism. 458 00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:52,240 Speaker 3: Her name is Carly. Years and years. 459 00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:55,640 Speaker 5: She had never spoken a word or communicated in any way. 460 00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:59,360 Speaker 5: It looked like she was mentally retarded. All through the day, 461 00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:04,200 Speaker 5: she would just fleil her arms, drool, and have uncontrollable fits. 462 00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:05,800 Speaker 3: It's seven years old. 463 00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:09,760 Speaker 5: The authorities tried to talk her parents into putting her 464 00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:12,879 Speaker 5: in a special home. They said, she's never going to 465 00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:16,359 Speaker 5: get any better. She doesn't even comprehend the love that 466 00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:19,760 Speaker 5: you're showing, much less what you're constantly saying to her. 467 00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:21,800 Speaker 3: Those parents wouldn't hear of it. 468 00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:25,600 Speaker 5: They just kept loving her, training her, speaking faith into her. 469 00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:29,280 Speaker 5: One day, out of the blue, at eleven years old, 470 00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:34,000 Speaker 5: Carly sat down at the computer and typed these words, 471 00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:38,119 Speaker 5: I have autism, but this is not who I am. 472 00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:42,119 Speaker 5: Take time to know me before you judge me. I 473 00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:46,080 Speaker 5: am smart, cute, funny and I love to have fun. 474 00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:50,000 Speaker 5: At that point, the parents realized Carly was in there. 475 00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:53,720 Speaker 5: She had just never found the way to communicate. Later, 476 00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:57,879 Speaker 5: she typed, Dad, thank you for believing in me. I 477 00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:00,600 Speaker 5: know I'm not the easiest child in the world to love, 478 00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:04,280 Speaker 5: but you are always there for me to pick me 479 00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:07,560 Speaker 5: up when I fall. The father said that was worth 480 00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:12,640 Speaker 5: every frustration, every sleepless night. They even discovered that Carly 481 00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:16,000 Speaker 5: has a sense of humor. When asked about her little brother, 482 00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:20,440 Speaker 5: she sat down and typed, Matthew smells so bad even 483 00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:27,840 Speaker 5: skunks running hide. Today, at fourteen, Carly still amazes us. 484 00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:32,000 Speaker 5: She's in the process of writing her first novel. Even 485 00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:36,439 Speaker 5: though she still has severe autism. She's still confined to 486 00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:38,560 Speaker 5: a body that doesn't function normally. 487 00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:42,880 Speaker 3: She cannot be contained. I'm asking you today to get 488 00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:44,000 Speaker 3: rid of the excuses. 489 00:26:44,520 --> 00:26:48,560 Speaker 5: Quit thinking I'm not talented enough, I've made too many mistakes, 490 00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:50,480 Speaker 5: I've got this handicap. No. 491 00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:51,960 Speaker 3: Let these words sink. 492 00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:55,640 Speaker 5: Deep down into your spirit. You are uncontainable. You're a 493 00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:58,960 Speaker 5: burrier breaker. God wants to use you just like you 494 00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:02,879 Speaker 5: are to influence others. Get a vision for it. You 495 00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:06,400 Speaker 5: can set a new standard for your family. If Carly 496 00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:09,439 Speaker 5: can do it, you can do it. Unlock what's on 497 00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:12,880 Speaker 5: the inside. Your seeds of greatness are waiting to take 498 00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:14,120 Speaker 5: root and flourish. 499 00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:14,840 Speaker 3: And know this. 500 00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:19,520 Speaker 5: Right now, God is breathing in your direction. Vision is increasing, 501 00:27:19,840 --> 00:27:24,159 Speaker 5: faith is rising, Dreams are coming back to life. You 502 00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:26,800 Speaker 5: have not seen your best days. You may have had 503 00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:29,800 Speaker 5: some victories in your past, but what God has in 504 00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:35,200 Speaker 5: store in your future will supersede anything you could even imagine. 505 00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:37,439 Speaker 5: Now you've got to take the limits off of God 506 00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:40,840 Speaker 5: and take the limits off of yourself.
