And I 46 00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:13,120 Speaker 4: heard about this group of school children. They were in 47 00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:18,080 Speaker 4: the cafeteria line at their Catholic elementary school. The start 48 00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:20,320 Speaker 4: of the line, there was a big bowl of apples. 49 00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:23,760 Speaker 4: A nun had written a note that said, take only one. 50 00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:27,359 Speaker 4: God is watching. At the end of the line there 51 00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:30,040 Speaker 4: was a big bowl of chocolate chip cookies. One of 52 00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:32,680 Speaker 4: the children had written a note that said, take all 53 00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:37,080 Speaker 4: you want. God is watching. The apples. Say it like 54 00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:40,080 Speaker 4: you mean it. This is my Bible. I am what 55 00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:42,600 Speaker 4: it says I am. I have what it says I have. 56 00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:45,680 Speaker 4: I can do what it says I can do. Today 57 00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:49,119 Speaker 4: I will be taught the word of God. I boldly confess. 58 00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:52,880 Speaker 4: My mind is alert, my heart is receptive. I will 59 00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:57,000 Speaker 4: never be the same. In Jesus' name, God bless you. 60 00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:01,720 Speaker 4: I want to talk to you today about your destiny. 61 00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:05,480 Speaker 4: We may not realize it, but we're always feeding ourselves 62 00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:09,919 Speaker 4: what we watch. Listen to the people we're around, the 63 00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:14,280 Speaker 4: thoughts we're dwelling on. That's feeding our inner man. If 64 00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:16,919 Speaker 4: you go to lunch with people that talk bad about 65 00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:20,480 Speaker 4: the boss, make fun of a coworker, put down a friend. 66 00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:25,120 Speaker 4: They're feeding you gossip, feeding you jealousy, feeding you disrespect. 67 00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:29,280 Speaker 4: Here's the key. Whatever you feed is going to grow. 68 00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:32,720 Speaker 4: You may not like what they're feeding you. You're a 69 00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:36,119 Speaker 4: nice person, but if you continue to hang around them, 70 00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:40,720 Speaker 4: before long, you'll be gossiping, you'll be critical, you'll be disrespectful. 71 00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:45,640 Speaker 4: Why because you kept feeding the wrong things. If you're 72 00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:49,960 Speaker 4: always feeding negative thoughts, thinking I'll never get well, I'll 73 00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:54,520 Speaker 4: never meet the right person, you're feeding doubt, feeding mediocrity, 74 00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:58,360 Speaker 4: feeding fear. A man told me how he spent years 75 00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:01,360 Speaker 4: of his life on drugs and alcohol and it had 76 00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:04,400 Speaker 4: ruined his marriage and he wasn't there for his children. 77 00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:08,400 Speaker 4: Now he was so down on himself, so discouraged. What 78 00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:12,160 Speaker 4: was he doing feeding the guilt, feeding the regret, feeding 79 00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:16,120 Speaker 4: the blame. If you feed guilt, it's going to get bigger. 80 00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:20,640 Speaker 4: If you feed fear, it's going to become larger. What 81 00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:25,160 Speaker 4: if you spent that same energy feeding your faith, feeding 82 00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:29,640 Speaker 4: your hopes, feeding your dreams. Yes, I've made mistakes, but Father, 83 00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:32,920 Speaker 4: thank you that your mercy is bigger than any mistake. 84 00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:37,000 Speaker 4: Thank you that I am forgiven. Quit feeding the negative 85 00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:40,599 Speaker 4: and start feeding your faith. What are you allowing in 86 00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:44,400 Speaker 4: your spirit. The people you're spending time with, the thoughts 87 00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:48,440 Speaker 4: you're dwelling on all day, Is that inspiring you, building 88 00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:51,040 Speaker 4: your faith, pushing you towards your dreams? 89 00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:52,400 Speaker 2: Or is it. 90 00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:57,719 Speaker 4: Junk food feeding you guilt, mediocrity, negativity causing you to compromise. 91 00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:01,760 Speaker 4: A friend of mine was die diagnosed with a serious illness. 92 00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:05,159 Speaker 4: The doctor put him on a very strict diet. He 93 00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:09,200 Speaker 4: couldn't need any sugar, any flour, any meat. It was 94 00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:13,880 Speaker 4: only raw vegetables, nuts, grains, very limited. Now, I ask 95 00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:16,360 Speaker 4: him if he was going to do it. He said, 96 00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:18,000 Speaker 4: what do you mean? Am I going to do it? 97 00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:22,120 Speaker 4: I don't have a choice. My life depends on it. Today, 98 00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:25,920 Speaker 4: I'm putting you on a new diet, not physically, but 99 00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:29,839 Speaker 4: for your inner man. No more junk food, No more 100 00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:33,320 Speaker 4: dwelling on thoughts of worry, fear. I don't have what 101 00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:37,760 Speaker 4: it takes. No more hanging around people that are feeding 102 00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:43,120 Speaker 4: you negativity causing you to compromise. No more guilt, condemnation. 103 00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:47,320 Speaker 4: I'm all washed up. Your prescription is for faith. Food, 104 00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:52,400 Speaker 4: feed your hopes, feed your dreams, feed your confidence, feed 105 00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:56,320 Speaker 4: your destiny. Well, Joel, I'm not that talented and I 106 00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:59,480 Speaker 4: don't have a good personality. I'm not as attractive as 107 00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:03,520 Speaker 4: my friend. And quit feeding the insecurity. That's not on 108 00:06:03,640 --> 00:06:06,920 Speaker 4: your diet. Your diet is what God says about you. 109 00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:10,560 Speaker 4: I am fearfully and wonderfully made. I am one of 110 00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:14,600 Speaker 4: a kind, a masterpiece made in the image of God. 111 00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:18,400 Speaker 4: When you feed your value, your value will get stronger. 112 00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:21,560 Speaker 4: If you're dealing with an illness, I don't think i'll 113 00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:24,880 Speaker 4: get well. I've had it so long. The medical report 114 00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:29,200 Speaker 4: doesn't look good. You're feeding the wrong things. That's allowing 115 00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:32,960 Speaker 4: the sickness to grow. Turn it around, Father, Thank you 116 00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:35,880 Speaker 4: that you're restoring health back into me. Thank you that 117 00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:39,560 Speaker 4: the number of my days you will fulfill. You feed 118 00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:43,479 Speaker 4: your faith like that. What's happening is the doubt is 119 00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:47,240 Speaker 4: getting weaker and weaker. Before long, you'll starve the doubt. 120 00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:51,400 Speaker 4: I have some flowers in my backyard, and one summer 121 00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:54,240 Speaker 4: it was very dry and of course very hot here 122 00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:57,520 Speaker 4: in Houston, and the sprinkler system couldn't keep up. So 123 00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:00,600 Speaker 4: every afternoon I'd go out and water those flos with 124 00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:04,520 Speaker 4: my hose. About forty feet away, over in the corner, 125 00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:08,039 Speaker 4: there were a bunch of weeds couple feet tall. I 126 00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:12,160 Speaker 4: noticed a few weeks later all those weeds had died off. 127 00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:15,240 Speaker 4: They didn't have any water. My flowers were just as 128 00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:21,000 Speaker 4: beautiful as can be. What you don't feed will eventually die. 129 00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:23,640 Speaker 4: You may have some weeds in your life today. We 130 00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:27,720 Speaker 4: all do. Weeds of guilt, weeds of negativity. Don't be 131 00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:31,160 Speaker 4: alarmed by the weeds. Just don't make the mistake of 132 00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:34,880 Speaker 4: watering the weeds. Don't give them any energy, don't let 133 00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:37,520 Speaker 4: them take up any space in your mind. What you 134 00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:41,840 Speaker 4: quit watering will eventually go away. If you came over 135 00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:45,360 Speaker 4: to my backyard and saw me out there watering the weeds, 136 00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:47,880 Speaker 4: you would think, what is wrong with that man? That 137 00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:51,720 Speaker 4: doesn't make sense. He's watering something he doesn't want. Are 138 00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:56,119 Speaker 4: you watering what you don't want? The enemy's main tool 139 00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:59,480 Speaker 4: is deception. He would love for you to go through 140 00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:06,600 Speaker 4: life watering the weeds, spending your energy, dwelling on fear, doubt, insecurity, 141 00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:10,760 Speaker 4: mistakes of the past. Don't fall into that trap when 142 00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:13,680 Speaker 4: thoughts tell you nothing good is in your future. It's 143 00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:18,239 Speaker 4: all downhill from here. Instead of watering that weed, feeding 144 00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:22,360 Speaker 4: the discouragement, turn the hose the other way. Water what 145 00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:25,400 Speaker 4: God says about you, Father, Thank you that the path 146 00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:28,360 Speaker 4: of the righteous, my path gets brighter and brighter. Thank 147 00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:31,760 Speaker 4: you that you've surrounded me with your favor when you're 148 00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:35,600 Speaker 4: in a tough time. Instead of feeding the doubt, I'm 149 00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:39,000 Speaker 4: stuck here. Nothing's ever going to change. Feed your faith. 150 00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:42,560 Speaker 4: I'm coming out. God always causes me to tryumph, This 151 00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:47,800 Speaker 4: too shall pass. Whatever you're feeding is getting stronger. Don't 152 00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:51,520 Speaker 4: feed what you don't want. Maybe you've had bad breaks 153 00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:54,040 Speaker 4: in life and things haven't turned out the way you 154 00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:58,200 Speaker 4: had hoped. You could easily be discouraged. Don't feed the 155 00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:03,880 Speaker 4: self pity water what didn't work out. Quit reliving the hurts. 156 00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:08,360 Speaker 4: You can't feed your history and feed your destiny at 157 00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:11,720 Speaker 4: the same time. If you're using all your energy to 158 00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:14,920 Speaker 4: feed your past, you're not going to have the energy 159 00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:18,920 Speaker 4: you need to feed your future. What's happened to you 160 00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:22,640 Speaker 4: is over and done. How you were raised, what you 161 00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:26,840 Speaker 4: didn't get, who hurt you, who you lost. I say 162 00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:32,160 Speaker 4: it respectfully, that's history that's behind you. You cannot go 163 00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:35,800 Speaker 4: into a new season if you're always looking back at 164 00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:40,000 Speaker 4: the old. Those doors are closed. It may not have 165 00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:43,240 Speaker 4: been fair, but God is fair. He knows how to 166 00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:45,480 Speaker 4: make it up to you. But you have to let 167 00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:50,280 Speaker 4: go of what didn't work out. Quit putting energy into 168 00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:54,200 Speaker 4: negative things of the past. If you're feeding the hurts, 169 00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:58,720 Speaker 4: feeding the offense, feeding the betrayal, it's just like your 170 00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:05,319 Speaker 4: watering resentment, watering bitterness, watering discouragement. The way to get 171 00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:09,040 Speaker 4: past it is you have to starve it. Quit dwelling 172 00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:12,720 Speaker 4: on it. Quit thinking about what you didn't get. Who 173 00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:15,400 Speaker 4: hurt you, how you can prove to them that they 174 00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:18,480 Speaker 4: shouldn't have left you. If you will put that same 175 00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:25,040 Speaker 4: energy into your destiny, believing for new beginnings, expecting God's favor, 176 00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:29,000 Speaker 4: then God will give you beauty for those ashes. God 177 00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:31,320 Speaker 4: will make up for the wrongs. You don't have to 178 00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:35,280 Speaker 4: pay anybody back. God will be your vindicator. But we 179 00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:38,160 Speaker 4: all go through things in life that are not fair. 180 00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:45,000 Speaker 4: The scripture says offenses will come, betrayals will come, bad breaks, loss, 181 00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:49,360 Speaker 4: things we don't understand. It's painful enough when they happen. 182 00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:53,080 Speaker 4: But if you make the mistake of feeding the fear, 183 00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:57,040 Speaker 4: feeding the offense, feeding the hurt, then it's going to 184 00:10:57,080 --> 00:11:03,599 Speaker 4: continue to be painful. Get well. If you're always reopening 185 00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:08,560 Speaker 4: the wounds, reliving the negative that's making it worse. And yes, 186 00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:11,560 Speaker 4: it can feel good to our flesh to hold on 187 00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:15,040 Speaker 4: to her, hold on to self pity. You may have 188 00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:18,480 Speaker 4: a valid reason to feel that way. Somebody did you wrong, 189 00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:22,520 Speaker 4: he came down with an illness, the company laid you off. 190 00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:26,600 Speaker 4: But when you're feeding the past, you are putting energy 191 00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:31,559 Speaker 4: into something that's taken you backwards. It's tempting to hold on. 192 00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:34,560 Speaker 4: Sometimes you wake up it's on the forefront of your mind. 193 00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:37,680 Speaker 4: You have to ask yourself, am I going to keep 194 00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:41,520 Speaker 4: watering these weeds? Am I going to keep putting energy 195 00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:46,120 Speaker 4: into something that's taken me the wrong direction? In the scripture, 196 00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:50,200 Speaker 4: the prophet Samuel went through a great disappointment. He had 197 00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:53,280 Speaker 4: chosen a young man named Saul to be the next 198 00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:57,360 Speaker 4: king of Israel. He took Saul under his wing like 199 00:11:57,440 --> 00:12:00,840 Speaker 4: he was his own son, and trained him and mentored him, 200 00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:04,000 Speaker 4: and Saul did well as a king for a few years. 201 00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:08,880 Speaker 4: Then he got off course, made mistakes he wouldn't obey. Finally, 202 00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:13,800 Speaker 4: God rejected Saul as the king. He lost the throne. 203 00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:18,080 Speaker 4: Samuel was so discouraged he had invested years of his 204 00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:21,440 Speaker 4: life trying to help Saul. Now it looked like it 205 00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:25,600 Speaker 4: was a waste of time. As Samuel was sitting around heartbroken, 206 00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:30,960 Speaker 4: feeding the self pity, feeding the discouragement, God said to him, Samuel, 207 00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:35,440 Speaker 4: how long are you going to mourn over Saul? He 208 00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:39,600 Speaker 4: was saying, how long are you going to feed your history? 209 00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:42,720 Speaker 4: How long are you going to put energy into something 210 00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:46,600 Speaker 4: that's taking you the wrong direction? And yes, there's a 211 00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:50,880 Speaker 4: season of mourning when you go through a loss, a disappointment. 212 00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:54,560 Speaker 4: You don't have to be superhuman where you never feel anything, 213 00:12:54,640 --> 00:12:57,680 Speaker 4: you never have a down moment. But you can't let 214 00:12:57,920 --> 00:13:02,720 Speaker 4: a season of mourning into a lifetime of morning. At 215 00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:06,640 Speaker 4: some point you have to say, yes, I'm disappointed. Yes 216 00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:09,640 Speaker 4: I'm hurt. A prayer didn't get answered the way i'd hope. 217 00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:13,160 Speaker 4: But this is a new day. I'm not feeding my 218 00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:16,720 Speaker 4: history anymore. I'm letting go of what didn't work out. 219 00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:20,720 Speaker 4: I'm not dwelling on my disappointments. I'm not reliving my hurts. 220 00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:25,760 Speaker 4: I'm putting my energy into my destiny. I'm getting ready 221 00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:29,000 Speaker 4: for the new things God has in store. God went 222 00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:32,599 Speaker 4: on to tell Samuel, fill your horn with oil and 223 00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:35,880 Speaker 4: be on your way. I'm sending you to the House 224 00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:39,520 Speaker 4: of Jesse. I have chosen one of his sons to 225 00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:44,120 Speaker 4: be the king. If you'll quit looking backwards, quit mourning 226 00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:47,199 Speaker 4: over what didn't work out, God is going to send 227 00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:50,720 Speaker 4: you to the House of Jesse. He has a new beginning, 228 00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:55,680 Speaker 4: a new relationship, a new dream. Just because Saul didn't 229 00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:59,960 Speaker 4: work out doesn't mean that it's over. God has a David. 230 00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:04,640 Speaker 4: He has another plan, not something secondary. This is all 231 00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:07,719 Speaker 4: that I have, too bad, Just take this. David was 232 00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:11,160 Speaker 4: the greatest king that ever lived. You may have gone 233 00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:15,200 Speaker 4: through an unfair situation, something that took the wind out 234 00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:19,160 Speaker 4: of you. It wasn't a surprise to God. He knew 235 00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:24,920 Speaker 4: every setback, every disappointment. He has a David already lined 236 00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:30,240 Speaker 4: up for you. Your greatest joy, your greatest victories, your greatest 237 00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:35,040 Speaker 4: accomplishments are still in your future. But suppose Samuel would 238 00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:40,560 Speaker 4: have continued mourning, putting energy into his past, feeding that disappointment. 239 00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:44,960 Speaker 4: Maybe he wouldn't have anointed David. Maybe God would have 240 00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:47,600 Speaker 4: chosen someone else to go to the House of Jesse. 241 00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:53,400 Speaker 4: Maybe Samuel would have faded off into the sunset, defeated, discouraged. 242 00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:57,640 Speaker 4: Are you putting energy into your past? Are you feeding 243 00:14:57,680 --> 00:15:01,800 Speaker 4: your history? God is saying fill your horn with oil, 244 00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:05,440 Speaker 4: and be on your way. That means, get your passion back, 245 00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:09,760 Speaker 4: put a smile on your face, start moving forward. You're 246 00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:12,960 Speaker 4: about to come to the House of Jesse. You thought 247 00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:15,680 Speaker 4: it was over and done. God still has a davy. 248 00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:20,280 Speaker 4: God still has something more rewarding than you've ever imagined. 249 00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:23,040 Speaker 4: I talked to a lady that had been married for 250 00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:27,520 Speaker 4: over twenty years. Her husband met another woman and suddenly 251 00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:30,160 Speaker 4: decided he didn't want to be married to Hurt anymore. 252 00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:33,880 Speaker 4: Without any warning, he moved out and ended the marriage. 253 00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:38,960 Speaker 4: This lady was so heartbroken she couldn't understand why that happened. 254 00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:43,120 Speaker 4: Two years later, she was still so upset. I told 255 00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:46,840 Speaker 4: her what I'm telling you. You can't keep feeding your history. 256 00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:51,040 Speaker 4: Don't feed the betrayal, don't feed the hurt. It's taken 257 00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:55,560 Speaker 4: you in the wrong direction. If somebody left you, you 258 00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:59,760 Speaker 4: have to recognize their part in your story is over. 259 00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:04,200 Speaker 4: If they walked away, you don't need them to fulfill 260 00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:07,880 Speaker 4: your purpose. If you needed them, God wouldn't have let 261 00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:12,000 Speaker 4: them leave. But if you live thinking that you can't 262 00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:16,000 Speaker 4: be happy now because they're remarried, they moved on, then 263 00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:19,160 Speaker 4: you're going to miss the new things God has in store. 264 00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:23,760 Speaker 4: Why don't you accept it as God closing the door? 265 00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:29,560 Speaker 4: God rejected King's song. Sometimes God puts an end to 266 00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:34,000 Speaker 4: things that we don't understand. Don't put a question mark 267 00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:38,240 Speaker 4: where God has put a period. Don't keep mourning over 268 00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:42,800 Speaker 4: something that you cannot change, always thinking about it, wondering 269 00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:45,760 Speaker 4: why it didn't work out? Why did this door close? 270 00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:48,920 Speaker 4: Why did I lose my loved one. I can't tell 271 00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:51,960 Speaker 4: you why, but I can tell you. If you will 272 00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:55,240 Speaker 4: fill your horn with oil and be on your way, 273 00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:58,560 Speaker 4: there's a house of Jesse that God has ordained for 274 00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:02,080 Speaker 4: you. You're going to come into a new season of joy 275 00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:06,520 Speaker 4: and fulfillment like you've never seen. I saw this lady 276 00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:09,520 Speaker 4: several years after we had talked. In fact, she came 277 00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:12,320 Speaker 4: right here to the altar for prayer. She had this 278 00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:17,199 Speaker 4: handsome man by her side. She looked so beautiful, so radiant, 279 00:17:17,240 --> 00:17:20,760 Speaker 4: like a different person. She told how they had recently 280 00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:23,760 Speaker 4: gotten married and she was happier than she had ever been. 281 00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:26,760 Speaker 4: She went on and on, telling me what an amazing 282 00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:31,080 Speaker 4: man this was. What happened, she quit mourning, and God 283 00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:34,440 Speaker 4: sent her to the House of Jesse. When you quit 284 00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:38,159 Speaker 4: putting energy into your history and you start putting it 285 00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:42,359 Speaker 4: into your destiny. God will give you beauty for those ashes. 286 00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:46,840 Speaker 4: God will pay you back for the unfair situation. And 287 00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:50,080 Speaker 4: that person that left you no offense to them, but 288 00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:54,040 Speaker 4: they're a weed. Quit watering the weed, Quit thinking about 289 00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:57,720 Speaker 4: the weed. This is a new season. God has divine 290 00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:02,159 Speaker 4: connections lined up for you. Instead of feeding the hurt, 291 00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:06,760 Speaker 4: feed your faith. Father, Thank you that my latter days 292 00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:09,280 Speaker 4: will be better than my former days. Thank you that 293 00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:12,880 Speaker 4: what was meant for my harm you're using to my advantage. 294 00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:16,399 Speaker 4: If you'll feed your destiny, God will make up for 295 00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:20,639 Speaker 4: the wrongs. Isaiah said. Because you've got a double dose 296 00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:24,280 Speaker 4: of trouble, your inheritance in the land will be double, 297 00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:28,000 Speaker 4: and your joy will go on forever. That's my prayer 298 00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:31,359 Speaker 4: for you, that you'll not only see double restored back 299 00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:34,960 Speaker 4: to you, but you'll be happier and more fulfilled than 300 00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:39,080 Speaker 4: you've ever been. In Acts, chapter one, the apostles came 301 00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:43,880 Speaker 4: together to choose a replacement for Judas, who had betrayed Jesus. 302 00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:48,560 Speaker 4: It came down to two men, Matthias and Barsabas. The 303 00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:53,359 Speaker 4: apostles prayed, asked for wisdom. They finally chose Matthias. But 304 00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:58,760 Speaker 4: imagine how Barsabas must have felt. This was an incredible opportunity. 305 00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:03,200 Speaker 4: Twelve Ussels would have their names written on the foundation 306 00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:08,119 Speaker 4: of the New Jerusalem. They would forever be esteemed and respected. 307 00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:13,320 Speaker 4: Barsabas got so close he almost became one of the 308 00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:18,639 Speaker 4: honored Apostles. He could have gotten discouraged, bitter, dropped out, 309 00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:22,879 Speaker 4: but instead of feeding his history, instead of dwelling on 310 00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:25,720 Speaker 4: what didn't work out, he let it go and kept 311 00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:29,760 Speaker 4: feeding his destiny. In Acts chapter two, it says they 312 00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:33,800 Speaker 4: were all together in one accord, in one place. That 313 00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:37,200 Speaker 4: means he wasn't there with a bad attitude. He didn't 314 00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:40,280 Speaker 4: have a chip on his shoulder. He kept moving forward. 315 00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:44,600 Speaker 4: When you go through a disappointment something doesn't work out, 316 00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:49,720 Speaker 4: do like him. Don't feed the negative. Don't sit around thinking, oh, man, 317 00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:53,440 Speaker 4: I missed my big opportunity. God knows what he's doing. 318 00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:58,000 Speaker 4: Sometimes he will close doors that we think should be open. 319 00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:01,359 Speaker 4: Maybe you didn't get the promotion that you work so 320 00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:04,800 Speaker 4: hard for. You didn't qualify for that loan for the 321 00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:08,920 Speaker 4: new house, the relationship didn't work out. That's in the past. 322 00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:13,640 Speaker 4: God put a period. That's history. Now keep moving forward, 323 00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:17,520 Speaker 4: Keep feeding your faith, feeding your dreams. At the right time, 324 00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:21,520 Speaker 4: God will open a better door for you. If you're 325 00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:24,679 Speaker 4: going to feed your destiny, you have to be careful 326 00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:28,480 Speaker 4: who you spend time with. If you associate with the 327 00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:32,200 Speaker 4: wrong people, they can feed you doubt, feed your negativity, 328 00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:36,240 Speaker 4: feeds your gossip. You're going to become like the people 329 00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:40,200 Speaker 4: you hang around. Make sure that they have what you want. 330 00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:44,919 Speaker 4: If they're negative, critical, they compromise, they don't have integrity. 331 00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:49,159 Speaker 4: They're feeding you the wrong things that's not on your diet. 332 00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:53,160 Speaker 4: Life is too short to hang around people that are 333 00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:57,480 Speaker 4: causing you to compromise, pulling you down. Your time is 334 00:20:57,560 --> 00:21:00,600 Speaker 4: too valuable to waste it with people. People that don't 335 00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:04,560 Speaker 4: have a dream, people that aren't going anywhere. You don't 336 00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:07,520 Speaker 4: have to make some big announcement, but little by little 337 00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:11,760 Speaker 4: you should spend less and less time with them. Well, Joel, 338 00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:14,600 Speaker 4: what if I hurt their feelings? What if they get upset? 339 00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:18,240 Speaker 4: What if you miss your destiny? What if they're keeping 340 00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:21,720 Speaker 4: you from going to the next level. When you come 341 00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:25,000 Speaker 4: to the end of life, you won't stand before people. 342 00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:28,960 Speaker 4: You will stand before God. He has entrusted you with 343 00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:32,760 Speaker 4: a gift. You have an assignment there's something for you 344 00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:37,560 Speaker 4: to accomplish. You have a responsibility to become who God's 345 00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:41,120 Speaker 4: created you to be. You have to take bold steps 346 00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:45,240 Speaker 4: to protect what you're feeding those coworkers that are negative 347 00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:48,600 Speaker 4: and critical instead of going to lunch with them every day. 348 00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:52,240 Speaker 4: The right attitude is I love you, but I'm not 349 00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:55,119 Speaker 4: going to hang around you because you're feeding me dowt, 350 00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:58,480 Speaker 4: feeding me negativity, feeding me gossip, and that's not on 351 00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:03,000 Speaker 4: my diet. Sometimes we don't want to rock the boat. 352 00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:06,400 Speaker 4: We think if we make changes, we won't have any friends. 353 00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:10,200 Speaker 4: The truth is you may be lonely for a season, 354 00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:14,240 Speaker 4: but God will give you new friends, better friends, people 355 00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:17,200 Speaker 4: that will push you up and not pull you down. 356 00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:20,760 Speaker 4: But if you don't get rid of the wrong people, 357 00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:24,920 Speaker 4: you will never meet the right people. You should surround 358 00:22:24,960 --> 00:22:28,960 Speaker 4: yourself with people that inspire you, people that challenge you, 359 00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:33,320 Speaker 4: people that make you better. The Book of Deuteronomy, before 360 00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:36,520 Speaker 4: the Israelites went to battle, God said to the leaders, 361 00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:41,080 Speaker 4: ask if anyone is afraid. If so, let them go 362 00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:45,760 Speaker 4: home so they don't frighten everyone else. God knew the 363 00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:50,000 Speaker 4: fear would spread and keep them from the victory. The 364 00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:54,800 Speaker 4: people around you are contagious. What they have. Over time, 365 00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:58,680 Speaker 4: you're going to catch That's why the scripture says, don't 366 00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:02,600 Speaker 4: hang around with anger read hot tempered people, or you 367 00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:08,840 Speaker 4: will become angry. And hot tempered spirits are transferable. Proverb says, 368 00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:12,119 Speaker 4: when you walk with wise men, you will become wise. 369 00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:15,840 Speaker 4: Notice it works in the positive and in the negative. 370 00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:19,800 Speaker 4: You have to be selective with who you choose to 371 00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:22,240 Speaker 4: spend time with. You're going to catch what they have. 372 00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:26,040 Speaker 4: When the Ten Men came back from spying out the 373 00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:29,879 Speaker 4: Promised Land, they said, Moses, we don't have a chance. 374 00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:33,359 Speaker 4: The people are huge. There are giants in the land. 375 00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:38,240 Speaker 4: We'll never defeat them. God had already promised them the victory. 376 00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:42,919 Speaker 4: But this negative report from ten people begin to spread 377 00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:47,520 Speaker 4: throughout the camp. Before long, all two million people were afraid. 378 00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:51,199 Speaker 4: They said, Moses, let's go back to Egypt. Let's go 379 00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:54,440 Speaker 4: back to where we were when we were slaves. They 380 00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:58,280 Speaker 4: were next door to the Promised Land. They turned around 381 00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:02,120 Speaker 4: and wandered in the desert for forty years and never 382 00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:06,119 Speaker 4: did make it. In the wrong people can talk you 383 00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:11,480 Speaker 4: out of your dreams. Don't surround yourself with naysayers, people 384 00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:14,399 Speaker 4: that tell you what you can't become you'll never start 385 00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:17,320 Speaker 4: your business, you'll never break that addiction, you'll never get 386 00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:20,399 Speaker 4: your degree, you'll never meet the right person. They don't 387 00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:24,560 Speaker 4: know what's in you. They don't control your destiny. Some 388 00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:28,000 Speaker 4: of you have dreams that are lieing dormant because the 389 00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:33,200 Speaker 4: people around you are negative. They've accepted mediocrity. Now that's 390 00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:37,399 Speaker 4: rubbed off on you. The good news is those dreams 391 00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:41,360 Speaker 4: are still alive. If you will change who you're spending 392 00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:45,119 Speaker 4: time with, get around people full of faith, people that 393 00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:48,840 Speaker 4: see your potential, people that call out your seeds of greatness, 394 00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:51,040 Speaker 4: then you're going to step up to a new level 395 00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:54,840 Speaker 4: and see those dreams come to pass. When we received 396 00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:58,720 Speaker 4: word that the Compact Center was coming available, we met 397 00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:03,879 Speaker 4: with the leading real state attorney. This man came highly recommended. 398 00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:08,080 Speaker 4: For thirty minutes, he told us all the reasons why 399 00:25:08,119 --> 00:25:10,720 Speaker 4: we weren't going to get the building, why it was 400 00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:12,960 Speaker 4: going to be way too expensive, and how we were 401 00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:16,679 Speaker 4: probably violating the deed restrictions, on and on. When we 402 00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:20,760 Speaker 4: finished the meeting, I told our administrator, I don't want 403 00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:24,080 Speaker 4: this man on our team. I have enough doubt on 404 00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:28,080 Speaker 4: my own. I don't need his doubt. I can talk 405 00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:31,600 Speaker 4: me out of it by myself. I need somebody to 406 00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:35,119 Speaker 4: help talk me into it. If I would have allowed 407 00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:38,280 Speaker 4: him to stay, he would have contaminated the whole group, 408 00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:41,199 Speaker 4: and we probably wouldn't be here. You have to be 409 00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:45,720 Speaker 4: firm about who you're letting to feed you. I'm nice, 410 00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:49,200 Speaker 4: I smile all the time, but if you're negative, I'm 411 00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:55,359 Speaker 4: gonna smile while waving goodbye. If somebody compromises, if they 412 00:25:55,359 --> 00:25:58,360 Speaker 4: don't have integrity, if they run around on their spouse, 413 00:25:58,520 --> 00:26:01,200 Speaker 4: I'll be friendly, but I'm not going to hang around 414 00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:06,560 Speaker 4: with them. I want somebody feeding me excellence, integrity, faith, hope, 415 00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:11,320 Speaker 4: somebody inspiring me. Mark Chapter eight, a blind man was 416 00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:15,240 Speaker 4: brought to Jesus. The scripture says Jesus led the blind 417 00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:19,040 Speaker 4: man out of town, and then he healed him. Why 418 00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:21,480 Speaker 4: did he take him out of town? He's God, He 419 00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:25,560 Speaker 4: could have healed him anywhere. Maybe it was because this 420 00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:30,240 Speaker 4: blind man was in a negative environment, surrounded by people 421 00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:34,160 Speaker 4: that had accepted mediocrity. They would have said, you really 422 00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:36,359 Speaker 4: think you're going to get well. You've been blind your 423 00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:39,840 Speaker 4: whole life. Jesus had to take him out of town 424 00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:44,680 Speaker 4: so he wouldn't be talked out of his miracle. Sometimes 425 00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:48,280 Speaker 4: you have to get out of a negative environment to 426 00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:51,959 Speaker 4: see God's favor in a new way. Because the people 427 00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:55,040 Speaker 4: that knew you back then will try to keep you 428 00:26:55,160 --> 00:26:58,040 Speaker 4: in the same box they've had you in since you 429 00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:01,880 Speaker 4: were growing up. The problem is you're not the same person. 430 00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:05,800 Speaker 4: They're trying to feed your history. God is ready to 431 00:27:05,840 --> 00:27:09,800 Speaker 4: feed your destiny. It's time to break out of that box. 432 00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:14,840 Speaker 4: Don't let the limitations of those around you hold you down. 433 00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:19,440 Speaker 4: You were made for more. You have new levels in you. 434 00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:24,119 Speaker 4: There are seeds of greatness waiting to spring forth. You 435 00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:27,160 Speaker 4: may have had some disappointments in the past, but this 436 00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:30,200 Speaker 4: is a new day. God is about to release his 437 00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:33,320 Speaker 4: favor in a new way. Chains that have held you 438 00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:36,520 Speaker 4: back are being broken. Doors are going to open that 439 00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:39,720 Speaker 4: you never dreamed would open. Now do your part. Keep 440 00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:43,840 Speaker 4: feeding your faith, feeding your hopes, feeding your dreams. Stay 441 00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:49,880 Speaker 4: on your diet. No more feeding doubt, negativity, compromise, No 442 00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:53,600 Speaker 4: more mourning over what didn't work out. Don't use your 443 00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:57,040 Speaker 4: energy to feed your history, use your energy to feed 444 00:27:57,080 --> 00:27:59,879 Speaker 4: your destiny. If you'll do this, I believe in the 445 00:28:01,040 --> 00:28:04,359 Speaker 4: You're about to come into Jesse's house. You're about to 446 00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:09,320 Speaker 4: see new levels new opportunities, new relationships, the fullness of 447 00:28:09,359 --> 00:28:13,120 Speaker 4: your destiny in Jesus's name. If you receive it, can 448 00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:16,879 Speaker 4: you say him in Today? I'd like to give you 449 00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:19,960 Speaker 4: an opportunity to make Jesus the Lord of your life. 450 00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:24,960 Speaker 4: Would you pray with me? Just say, Lord, Jesus, I 451 00:28:25,119 --> 00:28:29,680 Speaker 4: repent of my sins. Come into my heart. I make 452 00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:34,000 Speaker 4: you my Lord and savior. If you prayed that simple prayer, 453 00:28:34,080 --> 00:28:36,600 Speaker 4: we believe you got born again. Get in a good 454 00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:40,200 Speaker 4: Bible based church.
