We'd love 9 00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:30,080 Speaker 1: to have you be a part of one of our services. 10 00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:32,600 Speaker 1: I'd like to start with something funny, and I heard 11 00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:35,600 Speaker 1: about this burglar that broke into a house one night. 12 00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:38,880 Speaker 1: Just as he was stealing the stereo, he heard a 13 00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:42,640 Speaker 1: voice saying, Jesus is watching you. He froze in his 14 00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:45,720 Speaker 1: tracks and shined his flashlight over in the corner and 15 00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:48,559 Speaker 1: saw a parrot. He said, did you say that to me? 16 00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:51,360 Speaker 1: The parent said yes, I'm just trying to warn you. 17 00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:54,800 Speaker 1: The burglar said, warn me, what are you talking about? 18 00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:57,959 Speaker 1: Who are you? The parent said, my name is Moses. 19 00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:01,200 Speaker 1: Burglar kind of laughed and said, what kind of crazy 20 00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:04,880 Speaker 1: people would name a parent Moses. The parent said the 21 00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:07,120 Speaker 1: same kind of people that would name a one hundred 22 00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:11,920 Speaker 1: and fifty pound rockweller. Jesus. All right, y'all say it 23 00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:14,800 Speaker 1: like you mean it. This is my Bible. I am 24 00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:17,320 Speaker 1: what it says I am. I have what it says 25 00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:20,080 Speaker 1: I have. I can do what it says I can do. 26 00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:23,360 Speaker 1: Today I will be taught the word of God. I 27 00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:27,919 Speaker 1: boldly confess. My mind is alert, my heart is receptive. 28 00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:32,119 Speaker 1: I will never be the same. In Jesus's name, God 29 00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:35,800 Speaker 1: bless you. I want to talk to you today about 30 00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:39,760 Speaker 1: you are worthy. It's easy to go through life feeling 31 00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:42,880 Speaker 1: like we don't measure up. We focus on our flaws 32 00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:46,440 Speaker 1: and weaknesses and how we should be further along. We 33 00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:50,560 Speaker 1: let guilt and condemnation weigh us down. Or we've been 34 00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:54,840 Speaker 1: through disappointments, dreams haven't worked out, people have done us wrong. 35 00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:58,760 Speaker 1: It's opened the door to insecurity and low self esteem. 36 00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:02,400 Speaker 1: The enemy he uses these things to try to steal 37 00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:06,640 Speaker 1: our sense of value. He'll whisper, you don't deserve to 38 00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:10,800 Speaker 1: be blessed. Look at the mistakes you've made. You're not valuable. 39 00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:14,000 Speaker 1: Look at the family you come from. You're not attractive. 40 00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:17,840 Speaker 1: Look how beautiful your coworker is. He loved for you 41 00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:21,440 Speaker 1: to believe the lie that you're not worthy. But here's 42 00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:24,640 Speaker 1: the key. Your worth is not based on what you have, 43 00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:28,640 Speaker 1: what family you come from, or how perfectly you live. 44 00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:32,040 Speaker 1: Your worth is based on the fact that you're a 45 00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:36,240 Speaker 1: child of the most High God. You are worthy not 46 00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:39,840 Speaker 1: because of what you did, but because of what Jesus did. 47 00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:44,800 Speaker 1: He made you worthy. God created you in his own image. 48 00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:48,800 Speaker 1: You have royal blood flowing through your veins. He crowned 49 00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:53,040 Speaker 1: you with favor. He calls you a masterpiece. Now, don't 50 00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:57,280 Speaker 1: let how people treat you determine your worth. Don't let 51 00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:00,640 Speaker 1: what someone said or how they make you feel cause 52 00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:05,160 Speaker 1: you to live inferior. They don't determine your value. They 53 00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:08,519 Speaker 1: didn't breathe life into you. They didn't choose you before 54 00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:11,959 Speaker 1: you were formed in your mother's wombs. They can't make 55 00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:16,360 Speaker 1: you feel inferior unless you give them permissions. Quit giving 56 00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:19,400 Speaker 1: it to them. You have the fingerprints of God all 57 00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:23,480 Speaker 1: over you. He calls you his prize possession, one of 58 00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:28,040 Speaker 1: a kind, fearfully and wonderfully made. But sometimes we let 59 00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:31,600 Speaker 1: our weaknesses and areas we need to improve in cause 60 00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:35,360 Speaker 1: us to feel unworthy. We go around down on ourselves, 61 00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:38,480 Speaker 1: thinking once we get it all together. Then we can 62 00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:41,880 Speaker 1: feel good about who we are. But your worth is 63 00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:45,640 Speaker 1: not based on your performance. There's nothing you can do 64 00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:49,680 Speaker 1: to make you more valuable. If I work harder, be 65 00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:53,880 Speaker 1: more discipline, pray longer, spend more time with my children, 66 00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:57,480 Speaker 1: then I'll deserve to be blessed. Well, that's all good. 67 00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:02,640 Speaker 1: That's developing character, but that's not affecting your worth. It's 68 00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:06,800 Speaker 1: not making you more valuable. Your value comes from your creator. 69 00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:11,640 Speaker 1: Don't go through life living performance based trying to earn 70 00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:16,000 Speaker 1: your worth. Earn your value. The problem is you'll never 71 00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:20,400 Speaker 1: measure up. We all make mistakes, we all have shortcomings. 72 00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:24,080 Speaker 1: Take the pressure off. You don't have to work for it, 73 00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:28,560 Speaker 1: just receive it. I am worthy, I am valuable. I've 74 00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:32,839 Speaker 1: been approved by Almighty God. Every time you say that, 75 00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:38,440 Speaker 1: something powerful happens. You're getting stronger, more confident. Your self 76 00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:43,599 Speaker 1: esteem is increasing. Forces of darkness cannot stay when you 77 00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:48,280 Speaker 1: know you are worthy, not you're going to be. When 78 00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:51,240 Speaker 1: I control my tipper better, when I quit saying things 79 00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:54,359 Speaker 1: I shouldn't, when I get in shape, when my boss 80 00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:57,960 Speaker 1: starts respecting me, then I'll feel good about myself. No, 81 00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:01,200 Speaker 1: how about right now, believing that that you're worthy, that 82 00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:06,880 Speaker 1: you're forgiven, redeemed, restored, one of a kind. Those are 83 00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:09,880 Speaker 1: the thoughts that need to be playing in your mind 84 00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:14,839 Speaker 1: throughout the day. Not guilt, shame, I'm not up to par. 85 00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:18,520 Speaker 1: Why can't I perform better? These people at work look 86 00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:22,200 Speaker 1: down on me. You can't stop all that, but you 87 00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:25,560 Speaker 1: can decide what you're going to dwell on. Tune all 88 00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:29,080 Speaker 1: that out, and get in agreement with God. You are worthy, 89 00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:33,960 Speaker 1: you are valuable. You deserve to be blessed. You deserve 90 00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:40,560 Speaker 1: to live in abundance, victorious, healthy, productive, fever filled life. 91 00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:43,880 Speaker 1: A friend of mine was raised in a very dysfunctional home. 92 00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:48,160 Speaker 1: His father was an alcoholic. He would become violent. They 93 00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:51,560 Speaker 1: lived in government housing as mother was on drugs. That 94 00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:55,320 Speaker 1: was always fighting and conflict in the house. He was 95 00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:58,920 Speaker 1: told that he would never amount to anything. He didn't 96 00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:02,159 Speaker 1: know any better, he believed it. He grew up with 97 00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:05,960 Speaker 1: this sense of shame and unworthiness, thinking I'm not good enough, 98 00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:09,920 Speaker 1: I don't deserve anything. He thought it was his fault 99 00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:14,400 Speaker 1: that he was to blame. The enemy loves to twist things. 100 00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:18,440 Speaker 1: He'll use other people's dysfunction to try to convince you 101 00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:21,160 Speaker 1: that you're the problem. You're not up the par If 102 00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:24,760 Speaker 1: you were better, this wouldn't have happened. Don't believe those lies. 103 00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:29,359 Speaker 1: You are not responsible for their dysfunction. Don't start taking 104 00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:32,240 Speaker 1: the blame for something that doesn't have anything to do 105 00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:35,400 Speaker 1: with you. In his twenties, this young man left home 106 00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:39,080 Speaker 1: and was living in his car. He had a great imagination, 107 00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:44,120 Speaker 1: amazing ability to tell stories, very creative. He knew that 108 00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:47,719 Speaker 1: God had given him that gift, but everything said, you 109 00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:51,320 Speaker 1: don't deserve to be blessed, you come from dysfunction and abuse. 110 00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:54,800 Speaker 1: So working at a fast food restaurant, barely making it, 111 00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:58,240 Speaker 1: thinking that's all he deserved. One day he flipped on 112 00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:01,680 Speaker 1: the television and he heard me talking about how our 113 00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:04,719 Speaker 1: value is not based on what we do, and it's 114 00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:07,599 Speaker 1: not based on how people treat us, and not even 115 00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:10,520 Speaker 1: based on how perfectly we perform. It comes from God. 116 00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:13,880 Speaker 1: It was like a light went off of the inside, 117 00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:18,560 Speaker 1: a stronghold was broken. Instead of having this defeated mindset, 118 00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:23,960 Speaker 1: I'm lacking, I'm limited, I'm at a disadvantage, he started 119 00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:28,200 Speaker 1: reprogramming his mind all through the day. I am worthy, 120 00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:31,480 Speaker 1: I am valuable, I am a one of a kind. 121 00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:35,040 Speaker 1: I deserve to be successful. I'm a child of the 122 00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:38,880 Speaker 1: most High God. You have to give yourself permission to 123 00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:42,720 Speaker 1: be blessed. He put his shoulders back and started carrying 124 00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:47,080 Speaker 1: himself differently. He began to pray bold prayers and expect 125 00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:52,840 Speaker 1: God's favor. Today, he's incredibly successful in the entertainment industry. 126 00:07:53,160 --> 00:07:57,160 Speaker 1: God has donemoored than he ever imagined. Maybe like him, 127 00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:00,440 Speaker 1: you've been in environments that you've let less and your 128 00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:06,080 Speaker 1: sense of value now there's shame, guilt, inferiority. You don't 129 00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:09,080 Speaker 1: feel like you deserve to be blessed. You have negative 130 00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:13,080 Speaker 1: baggage in your family line. None of that has changed 131 00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:17,200 Speaker 1: your value. No matter what people have done, you are 132 00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:21,440 Speaker 1: still a masterpiece. No matter who walked away, you are 133 00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:25,160 Speaker 1: still a prized possession. No matter how far off course 134 00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:29,000 Speaker 1: you've gotten, you still have the fingerprints of God all over. 135 00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:32,800 Speaker 1: You don't go through life with the wrong recording playing 136 00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:37,160 Speaker 1: in your mind. I'm damaged, I'm not good enough, I'm lacking. 137 00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:41,880 Speaker 1: No change that recording. You are worthy, You are valuable. 138 00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:47,160 Speaker 1: God handpicked you, He breathed his life into you. Now 139 00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:52,000 Speaker 1: it's up to you to receive your worth, receive your value. 140 00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:54,280 Speaker 1: You don't have to work for it. You don't have 141 00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:57,520 Speaker 1: to earn it, just receive it. This is what faith 142 00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:00,480 Speaker 1: is all about. I was in someone's lia home a 143 00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:03,200 Speaker 1: few years ago and they had all these paintings on 144 00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:06,040 Speaker 1: the wall. I don't know a lot about art, but 145 00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:08,920 Speaker 1: they didn't look very impressive to me. In fact, some 146 00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:11,800 Speaker 1: of them looked like they were drawn by children, real 147 00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:16,760 Speaker 1: modern and abstract paint thrown here and there. Later that evening, 148 00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:19,520 Speaker 1: the men told me how for just one of those 149 00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:23,640 Speaker 1: paintings he had paid over a million dollars. I looked 150 00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:27,079 Speaker 1: at it again, thought, Wow, that is beautiful, isn't it. 151 00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:31,200 Speaker 1: It was an original Piicasso, painted by the famous artist 152 00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:35,800 Speaker 1: Pablo Picasso. What dawned on me that day was it's 153 00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:38,920 Speaker 1: not so much what the painting looks like, it's who 154 00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:43,559 Speaker 1: the painter is. The picture gets its value from its creator. 155 00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:46,960 Speaker 1: Someone could have copied that painting tried to sell it, 156 00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:50,000 Speaker 1: they wouldn't have gotten a fraction of the price. It 157 00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:55,400 Speaker 1: was valuable because Pablo Picasso put his fingerprints on it. 158 00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:58,480 Speaker 1: It's the same way with us. Our value doesn't come 159 00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:01,880 Speaker 1: from what we look like, we do, how successful we 160 00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:05,800 Speaker 1: are or aren't. Our value comes from the fact almighty 161 00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:10,520 Speaker 1: God is our painter. If Aesians too says you are 162 00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:14,920 Speaker 1: God's masterpiece, you didn't come off an assembly line. You 163 00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:18,760 Speaker 1: weren't mass produced. When God made you, he threw away 164 00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:22,640 Speaker 1: the mold. Eight billion people on the planet and no 165 00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:25,800 Speaker 1: one has your fingerprints. You are one of a kind, 166 00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:29,920 Speaker 1: a designer's originals. And it'd be great to have a Picasso, 167 00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:36,160 Speaker 1: a Rembrandt, Michelangelo painting. That would be impressive. But imagine 168 00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:39,959 Speaker 1: having the artist that flung stars into space, the spoke 169 00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:45,120 Speaker 1: worlds into existence, that created the universe. That's who designs you. 170 00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:48,800 Speaker 1: That's why you're worthy. That's why you can put your 171 00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:53,560 Speaker 1: shoulders back and expect good things. But I wonder how 172 00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:58,160 Speaker 1: God must feel after creating us a masterpiece, when we 173 00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:01,840 Speaker 1: go around thinking we're unworthy. I'm just average, Joel. I 174 00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:05,280 Speaker 1: got these flaws. That's why I'm down on myself. Or 175 00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:09,960 Speaker 1: I've had setbacks. People didn't keep their word. I'm damaged, 176 00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:14,960 Speaker 1: I'm inferior. None of that changed your value. That Picasso 177 00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:18,880 Speaker 1: painting is valuable in that nice home and is valuable 178 00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:23,880 Speaker 1: in a rundown apartment. The environment doesn't change its value. 179 00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:26,800 Speaker 1: People may not recognize it. I didn't, but that didn't 180 00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:30,880 Speaker 1: change its worth. Other people may not see your value. 181 00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:34,240 Speaker 1: They may try to discount you, make it feel less than. 182 00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:37,520 Speaker 1: The only way that will stop you is if you 183 00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:41,240 Speaker 1: let them convince you that you're not valuable. Tune all 184 00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:44,400 Speaker 1: that out. Here's what God says about you. You are 185 00:11:44,440 --> 00:11:49,880 Speaker 1: wonderfully made. You are talented, you are attractive, you are competent, 186 00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:54,720 Speaker 1: you are blessed, you are victorious. Now that's good for 187 00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:57,800 Speaker 1: me to speak it over you build your faith. But 188 00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:02,080 Speaker 1: something more powerful happens when you speak it. When you 189 00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:04,600 Speaker 1: say it long enough, it will get down in your 190 00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:08,640 Speaker 1: spirit and become a reality all through the day, even 191 00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:12,360 Speaker 1: if it's under your breath. I am worthy, i am valuable, 192 00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:15,800 Speaker 1: I am a masterpiece. I'm a child of the Most 193 00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:19,240 Speaker 1: High God. There's a young man in the scripture named 194 00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:23,800 Speaker 1: maphibis Chef. He was the grandson of King Saul. His 195 00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:28,040 Speaker 1: father was Jonathan David's best friend. Maphibus Chef had been 196 00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:31,559 Speaker 1: born into royalty, destined to one day take the throne, 197 00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:35,160 Speaker 1: but when he was five years old, his father and 198 00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:38,320 Speaker 1: grandfather were killed in a battle. On the same day, 199 00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:42,199 Speaker 1: the opposing army hid it into town to try to 200 00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:46,240 Speaker 1: finish off all of Saul's family. When Mamphibis Chef's maid 201 00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:49,480 Speaker 1: grabbed him and took off, running as fast as she 202 00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:52,640 Speaker 1: could to try to hide him. As she's going down 203 00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:56,280 Speaker 1: the stairs, she tripped and fell. Maphibaschef hit the ground 204 00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:59,240 Speaker 1: so hard that he broke both of his legs and 205 00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:05,080 Speaker 1: became crippled. He never walked again. Sometimes well meaning people 206 00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:08,400 Speaker 1: can drop us. This maid was trying to do the 207 00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:12,680 Speaker 1: right thing. She had good intentions, but her mistake cost 208 00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:16,840 Speaker 1: him his mobility. Like Maphibicus Chef, someone may have dropped 209 00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:19,960 Speaker 1: you put you at a disadvantage. They didn't mean to. 210 00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:23,600 Speaker 1: They would take it back if they could, but they tripped, 211 00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:28,280 Speaker 1: and now you struggled with an addiction. They tripped, They 212 00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:31,800 Speaker 1: didn't protect you and nurture you and keep their word, 213 00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:35,160 Speaker 1: and now you struggle with low self esteem or with 214 00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:38,720 Speaker 1: your sense of worth. When Maphibis Chef ended up living 215 00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:41,880 Speaker 1: in a place called lordo Bar, it was one of 216 00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:45,959 Speaker 1: the poorest, most run down cities of that day. Here 217 00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:49,000 Speaker 1: he was the grandson of the king. He'd grown up 218 00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:52,479 Speaker 1: in the palace. Now he was living in the slums, 219 00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:58,400 Speaker 1: barely surviving. Here's the key. Your location doesn't change your value. 220 00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:01,440 Speaker 1: He was living in load of bar, but he was 221 00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:05,120 Speaker 1: still royalty. You may feel like you're in load of bar. 222 00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:09,679 Speaker 1: Things have come against you, circumstances you don't understand, but 223 00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:14,120 Speaker 1: nothing has lessened your value. No person that did you wrong, 224 00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:18,360 Speaker 1: no bad break, no mistake you've made. You are still 225 00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:21,640 Speaker 1: a child of the most time. You are still worthy. 226 00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:25,960 Speaker 1: You still have a purpose to fulfill. Yes, they dropped you, 227 00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:30,040 Speaker 1: but they didn't stop your destiny. You may be in 228 00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:32,800 Speaker 1: load of bar, but don't let lodobar get in you. 229 00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:36,000 Speaker 1: That's where you are. It is not who you are. 230 00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:40,840 Speaker 1: God sees these times where you were put at a disadvantage, 231 00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:44,840 Speaker 1: times you were left out, the times people manipulated things 232 00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:48,360 Speaker 1: at work to get their way. The enemy loves to 233 00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:51,960 Speaker 1: use those things to make you feel unworthy, like you 234 00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:55,040 Speaker 1: don't deserve to be blessed. This is when you have 235 00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:58,320 Speaker 1: to take control of your thought life. You can't be 236 00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:02,240 Speaker 1: passive and let the negative play. You have to remind 237 00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:05,800 Speaker 1: yourself who you are. If you don't tell yourself who 238 00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:08,400 Speaker 1: you are, the enemy will tell you who you are 239 00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:13,200 Speaker 1: all through the day. I am worthy, I am valuable, 240 00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:17,120 Speaker 1: I have royal blood in my veins. My location didn't 241 00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:20,680 Speaker 1: change my identity. I'm still a child of the most time. 242 00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:23,640 Speaker 1: His plans for me are still good, to give me 243 00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:28,200 Speaker 1: a future to prosper me. Well years went by, I'm 244 00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:30,680 Speaker 1: sure I'm a phibis Chef thought that God had forgotten 245 00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:34,720 Speaker 1: about him. He was satisfied living in Lodobar, thought that 246 00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:39,520 Speaker 1: was his destiny. But God wasn't satisfied. God loves you 247 00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:42,840 Speaker 1: too much to let you live below who you were 248 00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:46,320 Speaker 1: created to be. One day, out of the blue, King 249 00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:49,360 Speaker 1: David said to his men, is there anyone from the 250 00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:53,000 Speaker 1: House of Saul still alive? So I can show kindness 251 00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:56,920 Speaker 1: to them? This is how amazing God is. Sau spent 252 00:15:57,080 --> 00:16:00,800 Speaker 1: years trying to kill David. He made David's life miserable 253 00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:03,760 Speaker 1: where he had to live on the run. You would 254 00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:07,120 Speaker 1: think the last person David would think about doing good 255 00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:11,160 Speaker 1: for would be Saul's family. But God is not going 256 00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:16,520 Speaker 1: to leave you in Lodobar. Lodobar is temporary. The injustice, 257 00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:20,520 Speaker 1: the sickness, the trouble is not how your story ends. 258 00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:24,240 Speaker 1: You're coming out of Lodobar. You don't belong there. You 259 00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:28,120 Speaker 1: have royal blood, you have a crown of favor. You 260 00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:32,240 Speaker 1: are worthy, you are valuable, and you are destined to 261 00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:36,240 Speaker 1: overcome well. David's men told him that Jonathan had a 262 00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:40,360 Speaker 1: son that was still alive, but he was crippled living 263 00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:45,000 Speaker 1: in the slums of Lodobar. David didn't think twice. He said, 264 00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:48,920 Speaker 1: go find him and bring him to the palace. When 265 00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:52,080 Speaker 1: the King's men came into the slums, everyone was talking. 266 00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:55,120 Speaker 1: There was this buzz what's going on? What are they 267 00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:58,320 Speaker 1: doing here? The fibbish ship heard the knock on his 268 00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:02,440 Speaker 1: little makeshift hot He scooted to the door to open it. 269 00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:05,760 Speaker 1: They asked, are you a phibis chef? He said in 270 00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:09,639 Speaker 1: a weak voice. I am. They said, the King is 271 00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:14,040 Speaker 1: looking for you. You're coming to the palace with us. Here 272 00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:19,520 Speaker 1: this crippled man feeling unworthy, washed up being dropped, but 273 00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:22,600 Speaker 1: now he's headed to the palace. You may have been 274 00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:26,800 Speaker 1: through things that weren't fair, thoughts whisper, you're not worthy either. 275 00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:30,760 Speaker 1: Nobody even cares about you. Can I tell you the 276 00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:34,520 Speaker 1: King is looking for you. God sent me to knock 277 00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:37,560 Speaker 1: on your door to let you know he's not going 278 00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:42,119 Speaker 1: to leave you there. That environment did not change your value. 279 00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:46,400 Speaker 1: You are still royalty. They dropped you, but it didn't 280 00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:50,000 Speaker 1: lessen your worth. You are still a masterpiece. You are 281 00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:54,479 Speaker 1: still destined to do great things. They carried the phibis 282 00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:58,720 Speaker 1: Chef to the palace. He was afraid, thinking maybe David 283 00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:02,360 Speaker 1: was gonna pay him back for how his grandfather treated him. 284 00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:05,840 Speaker 1: The big moment finally came. David walked in the room. 285 00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:08,960 Speaker 1: Maphiblis Cheff fell to the ground. He looked up and 286 00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:12,280 Speaker 1: said to David, what do you want with a dead 287 00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:17,400 Speaker 1: dog like me? Notice how he saw himself not valuable. 288 00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:21,600 Speaker 1: I don't deserve anything good. I'm crippled. I live in 289 00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:26,320 Speaker 1: the slums. My grandfather mistreated you. Right when he thought 290 00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:29,120 Speaker 1: David was gonna let him have it, pay him back 291 00:18:29,160 --> 00:18:32,160 Speaker 1: for all the wrongs, David said, no, no, mafiblis Chef. 292 00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:35,280 Speaker 1: I didn't bring you here to harm you. I brought 293 00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:38,160 Speaker 1: you here to bless you. I didn't have my men 294 00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:41,320 Speaker 1: search you out so I could get revenge. I had 295 00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:44,919 Speaker 1: them carry you to the palace because I know something 296 00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:48,879 Speaker 1: about you that others may not know. You are royalty, 297 00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:52,400 Speaker 1: you are the grandson of the king. You belong here. 298 00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:56,400 Speaker 1: He went on to say, from now on, you will 299 00:18:56,440 --> 00:19:00,000 Speaker 1: live here with me. Every night. You will eat dinner 300 00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:02,879 Speaker 1: at my table, not at the staff's table. But with 301 00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:06,640 Speaker 1: me and all the land that belonged to your grandfather, 302 00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:10,520 Speaker 1: I'm giving it back to you. But how many of 303 00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:14,920 Speaker 1: us feel like mafilish chef. We're not worthy, we don't 304 00:19:14,920 --> 00:19:18,280 Speaker 1: deserve to be blessed. We got dropped, people put us 305 00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:22,200 Speaker 1: at a disadvantage, or we've made mistakes. Now we're in 306 00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:26,359 Speaker 1: load of bar. None of that lessens your value. My 307 00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:29,640 Speaker 1: phiblish chef felt like a dead dog. You can't get 308 00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:32,840 Speaker 1: much lower than that. What did God do? Put him 309 00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:36,080 Speaker 1: in the palace, gave him a seat at the king's table, 310 00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:39,960 Speaker 1: restored all that belonged to his family. God is going 311 00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:42,760 Speaker 1: to do the same thing for you. He is not 312 00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:46,480 Speaker 1: going to leave you at a deficit, at a disadvantage, 313 00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:49,720 Speaker 1: at a broken place. You're coming out a load of bar. 314 00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:53,600 Speaker 1: I get rid of that dead dog mentality, the shame, 315 00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:57,919 Speaker 1: the guilt voice is whispering you're not good enough, you 316 00:19:57,960 --> 00:20:01,880 Speaker 1: don't measure up, you don't deserve to be blessed. That's 317 00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:05,359 Speaker 1: the enemy trying to keep you in loader bar. God 318 00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:08,919 Speaker 1: sent me with a message, you don't belong there. You 319 00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:13,199 Speaker 1: are royalty. What's happened in your past has not stopped 320 00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:17,200 Speaker 1: your future. What God promised you early on, He's still 321 00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:20,600 Speaker 1: going to do You. May have gotten dropped, but he 322 00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:22,960 Speaker 1: knows how to pick you up and carry you to 323 00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:26,480 Speaker 1: the palace. You got stuck in Lodo bar. He's looking 324 00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:30,720 Speaker 1: for you right now. Restoration is coming, Promotion is coming, 325 00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:34,720 Speaker 1: healing is coming, breakthroughs are coming. There's about to be 326 00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:38,480 Speaker 1: a knock on your door, a shift, a divine connection, 327 00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:43,600 Speaker 1: a supernatural turnaround. Now get your fireback. No more a 328 00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:47,880 Speaker 1: dead dog mentality. You belong to the King. You are worthy, 329 00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:52,480 Speaker 1: You are valuable. You deserve to be blessed to live 330 00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:58,359 Speaker 1: a happy, victorious, fulfilled life. I don't know, Joe. I 331 00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:01,520 Speaker 1: don't think I deserve anything. I'm just a poor old 332 00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:05,639 Speaker 1: sinner saved by grace. No, we used to be sinners, 333 00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:08,720 Speaker 1: but when we gave our life to Christ, we became 334 00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:13,040 Speaker 1: a new creation. We are no longer sinners. We are 335 00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:17,639 Speaker 1: sons and daughters of the Most High God. That's why 336 00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:21,160 Speaker 1: we deserve to be blessed, because of what Jesus did. 337 00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:24,960 Speaker 1: If you want to make God proud, don't go around 338 00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:29,840 Speaker 1: with an unworthy I don't deserve it. Dead dog mentality. No, 339 00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:33,960 Speaker 1: step up to the table, Come into the palace. Believe 340 00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:37,880 Speaker 1: that you're worthy, Believe that you're valuable. Believe that your 341 00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:41,359 Speaker 1: father is a good God, that he takes pleasure in 342 00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:45,680 Speaker 1: prospering you. But sometimes we think our mistakes have made 343 00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:50,639 Speaker 1: us unworthy. We made poor choices, we don't deserve anything good, 344 00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:55,280 Speaker 1: we can't expect God's blessings. But those mistakes didn't change 345 00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:58,879 Speaker 1: your value. That's what you did. That's not who you are. 346 00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:02,080 Speaker 1: You are still a child of the most Time, you 347 00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:05,440 Speaker 1: are still created in his image. But this is when 348 00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:09,240 Speaker 1: the accuser will work over time to remind you of 349 00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:12,399 Speaker 1: everything you've done wrong, how you don't measure up and 350 00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:16,040 Speaker 1: you should have been more disciplined. Don't fall into that trap. 351 00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:20,399 Speaker 1: Shake off the unworthiness, shake off that guilt, and step 352 00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:24,399 Speaker 1: up to the table. The scripture says, come boldly to 353 00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:28,040 Speaker 1: the throne of grace to obtain mercy. You can't go 354 00:22:28,160 --> 00:22:31,640 Speaker 1: as a weak worm of the dust. I don't deserve it. 355 00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:35,439 Speaker 1: I'm so unworthy, I can't do anything right. No, go 356 00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:38,960 Speaker 1: to God with boldness. God, I know you have made 357 00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:42,560 Speaker 1: me worthy. I believe you love me. I believe you 358 00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:46,520 Speaker 1: for me, that you have good things in store. Don't 359 00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:50,240 Speaker 1: go as a beggar, go as a believer, with confidence, 360 00:22:50,480 --> 00:22:54,720 Speaker 1: with boldness, not because of who you are, but because 361 00:22:54,760 --> 00:22:59,000 Speaker 1: of who you are a child of Almighty God. Jesus 362 00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:01,280 Speaker 1: told a parable about it a young man that God 363 00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:04,560 Speaker 1: has inheritance early and he left home and his father 364 00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:07,080 Speaker 1: knew it wasn't a good choice, but the young man 365 00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:10,960 Speaker 1: wanted his own way. He went out and wasted all 366 00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:14,959 Speaker 1: of his money partying, making bad choices. He ended up 367 00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:18,400 Speaker 1: working in a hog pen. God's so desperate he had 368 00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:22,040 Speaker 1: to eat the hogfood to survive. He finally decided to 369 00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:25,920 Speaker 1: go back home, but he felt so unworthy and so underserving. 370 00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:28,480 Speaker 1: He said, I'm not going to go back as a 371 00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:30,960 Speaker 1: son and try to live at the house like I 372 00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:33,639 Speaker 1: used to. I'm just going to go ask my father 373 00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:37,400 Speaker 1: if I can be a servant and employ and work 374 00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:40,480 Speaker 1: like the rest of the staff. He was basing his 375 00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:44,880 Speaker 1: value on his performance. He performed poorly. He didn't think 376 00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:48,800 Speaker 1: he was valuable. He headed home when the father saw 377 00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:52,520 Speaker 1: him a long way off, The scripture says the father 378 00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:56,800 Speaker 1: took off running toward him. That means the father was 379 00:23:56,840 --> 00:24:01,479 Speaker 1: looking for him every day, where's my son? Maybe today 380 00:24:01,560 --> 00:24:05,720 Speaker 1: he'll come home, Maybe today he'll change his mind. The 381 00:24:05,760 --> 00:24:09,000 Speaker 1: whole time, the son was thinking, he's gonna be so upset. 382 00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:11,880 Speaker 1: He's not gonna want to see me, He's gonna let 383 00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:14,920 Speaker 1: me have it. Those are the two voices that come 384 00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:18,239 Speaker 1: to us all. God's not gonna forgive you. Look what 385 00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:23,000 Speaker 1: you've done. You better stay away. That's the accuser doing 386 00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:26,399 Speaker 1: what he does best, trying to make you feel unworthy. 387 00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:29,439 Speaker 1: So you have to listen to that still small voice. 388 00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:34,040 Speaker 1: Come home, you're forgiven. I'm looking for you. This son 389 00:24:34,160 --> 00:24:37,960 Speaker 1: was dirty, smelled like the hog's hair, not combed, but 390 00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:41,800 Speaker 1: the father ran and embraced him, gave him a big hug, 391 00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:45,359 Speaker 1: wouldn't let go kissed him. The son had his big 392 00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:49,359 Speaker 1: speech lined up about how undeserving he was. He said 393 00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:53,280 Speaker 1: in verse twenty one, father, I'm no longer worthy to 394 00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:57,000 Speaker 1: be called your sons. The father acted like he didn't 395 00:24:57,000 --> 00:25:00,119 Speaker 1: hear him, didn't pay it any attention. He said, why 396 00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:03,199 Speaker 1: it is staff quick, Go get the best robe and 397 00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:06,040 Speaker 1: put it on my son. Get some new shoes for 398 00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:09,680 Speaker 1: his feet, get the family ring to make sure everyone 399 00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:13,080 Speaker 1: knows he's my son. And by the way, kill the 400 00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:16,040 Speaker 1: fatted calf. We're going to have a party from A 401 00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:20,880 Speaker 1: son has returned home I wonder how many of us 402 00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:25,800 Speaker 1: are not coming home because we feel unworthy. How many 403 00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:30,080 Speaker 1: blessings are we missing because we're letting our mistakes hold 404 00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:33,840 Speaker 1: us back, when in fact God is looking for us. 405 00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:37,800 Speaker 1: He's not basing your value on your performance. He knows 406 00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:40,840 Speaker 1: who you are. But if you don't think you deserve 407 00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:44,600 Speaker 1: to be blessed, then you'll push blessings away. If you 408 00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:48,359 Speaker 1: don't think you deserve to be loved, you'll push love away. 409 00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:52,119 Speaker 1: God is longing to be good to you. His mercy 410 00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:55,639 Speaker 1: is bigger than any mistakes. But you have to come home, 411 00:25:56,440 --> 00:26:00,600 Speaker 1: put your shoulders back, come boldly to the throne. A 412 00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:04,440 Speaker 1: dead dog mentality. I've had bad breaks. They put me 413 00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:08,160 Speaker 1: at a disadvantage. They may have dropped you, but they 414 00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:12,280 Speaker 1: didn't change your value. You are still royalty. Now do 415 00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:16,199 Speaker 1: your part and receive your work. Don't try to earn it, 416 00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:20,159 Speaker 1: don't live performance based. Take the pressure off and just 417 00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:24,439 Speaker 1: receive it every day. I am worthy, I am valuable, 418 00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:27,840 Speaker 1: I am a child of the most time. If you'll 419 00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:32,520 Speaker 1: do this, I believe and declare, like Maphibi chef, you're 420 00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:37,119 Speaker 1: coming out of lodo bar, out of dysfunction into favor 421 00:26:37,119 --> 00:26:41,120 Speaker 1: promotion victory. God is going to make up for who 422 00:26:41,200 --> 00:26:44,159 Speaker 1: dropped you and give you back everything that should have 423 00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:50,080 Speaker 1: been yours. Mercy is coming, abundance, restoration, the fullness of 424 00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:54,160 Speaker 1: your destiny in Jesus's name, And if you receive it, 425 00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:58,280 Speaker 1: can you say amen? I'd like to give you an 426 00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:01,840 Speaker 1: opportunity to make Jesus the lord of your life. Would 427 00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:05,959 Speaker 1: you pray with me? Just say, Lord, Jesus, I repent 428 00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:09,639 Speaker 1: of my sins. Come into my heart. I make you 429 00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:13,440 Speaker 1: my Lord and savior.

Maybe 436 00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:37,399 Speaker 2: it's a dream for a better career, a blessing that 437 00:27:37,520 --> 00:27:40,960 Speaker 2: enables you to bless others, to be in a healthy 438 00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:45,680 Speaker 2: loving relationship, to launch your own business or ministry endeavor. 439 00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:50,120 Speaker 2: We all have dreams, but sometimes setbacks and opposition can 440 00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:52,880 Speaker 2: rob us of our dreams.
