1
00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:02,920
Speaker 1: Hi, this is Joel and Victoria. Thanks so much for

2
00:00:02,960 --> 00:00:04,160
Speaker 1: listening to the podcast.

3
00:00:04,320 --> 00:00:06,880
Speaker 2: We appreciate your support and we have a brand new

4
00:00:06,920 --> 00:00:08,800
Speaker 2: resource we'd like to send you this month.

5
00:00:08,960 --> 00:00:12,000
Speaker 3: It's called Playing with Confidence. I'll tell you more about

6
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:13,400
Speaker 3: it at the end of the podcast.

7
00:00:13,520 --> 00:00:17,400
Speaker 2: We love you and we sure hope you enjoy the message.

8
00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:20,919
Speaker 4: Yes, I'm excited to be alive today.

9
00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:24,920
Speaker 2: Amen, I just want to remind you that you are extraordinary.

10
00:00:26,120 --> 00:00:29,639
Speaker 2: Nobody wants to be ordinary today. We all want to

11
00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:33,280
Speaker 2: be extraordinary. We want to live an extraordinary life.

12
00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:36,320
Speaker 4: And I believe that's what Jesus said. He said, I

13
00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:37,639
Speaker 4: want to come to.

14
00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:41,760
Speaker 2: Give you a life and a life of abundance. See

15
00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:44,920
Speaker 2: he came so that we could live an abundant life,

16
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:50,040
Speaker 2: an extraordinary life, an exceptional life. God doesn't want us

17
00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:53,600
Speaker 2: to live average, mediocre. He doesn't want us to be

18
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:58,040
Speaker 2: ordinary in our thinking. He wants us to be extraordinary

19
00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:01,680
Speaker 2: in our thinking. He wants us to expect more, to

20
00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:05,080
Speaker 2: go for more, to strive for more, to be the very.

21
00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:06,520
Speaker 4: Best that we can be.

22
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:09,320
Speaker 2: Do you know when you're the very best you can

23
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:13,280
Speaker 2: be today, your tomorrow will be better. See when you

24
00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:19,800
Speaker 2: prepare for today, Hey, you'll be ready for the opportunities tomorrow.

25
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:25,840
Speaker 2: When preparation meets opportunity, it's called success. So I want

26
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:29,080
Speaker 2: to encourage all of us to not have just this

27
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:33,880
Speaker 2: ordinary mindset, but have an extraordinary mindset. Expect to be

28
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:38,600
Speaker 2: full of joy, abundance, creativity, blessing.

29
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:40,560
Speaker 1: You know, Joel was just.

30
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:43,119
Speaker 2: Saying to us earlier, and I think it's something that

31
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:45,280
Speaker 2: we need to hear when we come to the House

32
00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 2: of the Lord, and we need to express to ourself

33
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:51,440
Speaker 2: that we're a masterpiece. We didn't just come off of

34
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:56,240
Speaker 2: an assembly line. We're an original. We have callings and

35
00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:58,520
Speaker 2: giftings that are matchless.

36
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:00,640
Speaker 4: See, only you can do what.

37
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:04,720
Speaker 2: God's called you to do. Only you were created to

38
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:08,160
Speaker 2: be you. You weren't created to be anyone else. You

39
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:12,360
Speaker 2: weren't created to coffee anyone else. You were designed uniquely you.

40
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:15,720
Speaker 2: So get this down in your heart, get this down

41
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:19,440
Speaker 2: in your spirit today and say, I'm tired of living ordinary.

42
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:22,800
Speaker 2: I'm tired of living just mundane. I'm going to start

43
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:28,160
Speaker 2: having this extraordinary mindset. You say, but Victoria, my life

44
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:30,119
Speaker 2: is just routine.

45
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:33,400
Speaker 4: You know what. All of our lives are routine.

46
00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:39,400
Speaker 2: Most of life is doing the same thing over and

47
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:43,440
Speaker 2: over again. We get up in the morning, we go

48
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 2: to work, we do our jobs. We come home, we

49
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:52,160
Speaker 2: wash the dishes, we take care of the kids, we

50
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:56,480
Speaker 2: cook the dinner, we mow the lawn, we pay the bills.

51
00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:00,720
Speaker 2: Most of our day is routine. We go to bed,

52
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:03,840
Speaker 2: get up in the morning, and do it all over again.

53
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:08,440
Speaker 2: But it is our job to not get sucked into

54
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:14,440
Speaker 2: that routine, but to cause our life to produce extraordinary.

55
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:14,679
Speaker 4: In the routine.

56
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:20,560
Speaker 2: You see, you were designed to produce extraordinary in the

57
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:22,120
Speaker 2: routines of life.

58
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:24,720
Speaker 4: Think about this just a minute.

59
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:28,080
Speaker 2: Anything that you do well, you have to do often,

60
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 2: and it is called routine. So we have to know

61
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 2: that when we're in the routine, we're in the difficulties,

62
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:39,000
Speaker 2: we're in the challenges, all the things that we all face,

63
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:43,440
Speaker 2: that there's extraordinary being produced. Because I believe when we

64
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:47,840
Speaker 2: understand that we're not average, and our challenges weren't here

65
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:50,640
Speaker 2: to make us suffer. They're here to bring something out

66
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:53,880
Speaker 2: of us. Our difficulties are here to bring something out

67
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:57,200
Speaker 2: of us. Our routine is here to bring something out

68
00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 2: of us. I think about all the years that I've

69
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 2: loved my family, my children were born, I took care

70
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:07,840
Speaker 2: of them. I changed their diapers, I fed them, I

71
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 2: gave them a bath, I taught them. I did everything

72
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:14,040
Speaker 2: I knew to do, day after day after day. I've

73
00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 2: tried to be a good helpmate to my husband. I

74
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:19,640
Speaker 2: make sure he gets what he likes. I cook him dinner,

75
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:23,240
Speaker 2: I tell him what to do, I give in vitamins.

76
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:29,960
Speaker 2: I do my very best even when they don't appreciate it,

77
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:35,120
Speaker 2: day in and day out. But can I tell you,

78
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:39,280
Speaker 2: even when they don't appreciate it, and even when it's difficult,

79
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:42,640
Speaker 2: do you know what the routine has done for me?

80
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:49,240
Speaker 2: It's given me extraordinary. It is my extraordinary? What is

81
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:53,839
Speaker 2: your extraordinary? I can see my life because I was

82
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:58,960
Speaker 2: routine and faithful with what God gave me, I now

83
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:03,479
Speaker 2: have extraordin in my life. I think about challenges and

84
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 2: difficulties I faced. Many times I think I just want

85
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:10,120
Speaker 2: to quit. Is this even worth it? Is it even matter?

86
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:15,120
Speaker 2: But I have learned when I've pressed through day after

87
00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:21,919
Speaker 2: day those challenges, day after day, it produced extraordinary lessons

88
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 2: in my life. Listen, when you are faithful with what

89
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:28,880
Speaker 2: God has placed in your hand, and you don't allow

90
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:32,359
Speaker 2: it to become mundane and ordinary, and give it just

91
00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:34,040
Speaker 2: half of what you could give it.

92
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:35,440
Speaker 4: You know what you're doing.

93
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:40,360
Speaker 2: You're creating extraordinary. You're creating something to talk about tomorrow.

94
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:42,919
Speaker 4: You see, sometimes.

95
00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:44,800
Speaker 2: It's not always easy to talk about it, but if

96
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:47,919
Speaker 2: you'll stick with it, you'll have something to talk about.

97
00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:52,159
Speaker 2: You'll have something to be proud of. So even in

98
00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:55,120
Speaker 2: the difficult times, I want to encourage.

99
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:56,159
Speaker 4: You to stay faithful.

100
00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:59,320
Speaker 2: God is preparing you.

101
00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:01,000
Speaker 4: You are past I've seen the tests.

102
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:05,400
Speaker 2: He wants to give you greater opportunity, greater life, a

103
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:09,400
Speaker 2: greater a destiny. So we want to just live with

104
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:12,400
Speaker 2: purpose because I know how it feels. I'm preaching to

105
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:15,000
Speaker 2: myself today. I have to get up in the morning

106
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:16,960
Speaker 2: and I have to say, today is a good day.

107
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:19,680
Speaker 4: I've got good things in front of me.

108
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:22,640
Speaker 2: You know what you say to yourself, the moment you

109
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:25,320
Speaker 2: get up is gonna set the tone for your life.

110
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:27,680
Speaker 2: So you've got to get this down in your heart,

111
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:30,960
Speaker 2: even when it's difficult, no matter what's going on on

112
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:36,440
Speaker 2: the other side of that difficulty is extraordinary. You can

113
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:39,880
Speaker 2: all say with me today I have seen the extraordinary.

114
00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:44,520
Speaker 2: You're right, it was worth putting my effort into. Even

115
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:47,560
Speaker 2: when I didn't see where the routine was taking me.

116
00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:51,960
Speaker 2: I now see this extraordinary job I have. I now

117
00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:56,440
Speaker 2: see this extraordinary family I have. I now see an

118
00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 2: extraordinary ministry that I have. You see, you may not

119
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:02,479
Speaker 2: see where it's taking you all the time, but it

120
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:06,640
Speaker 2: will lead you to extraordinary When Joel's father was pastor

121
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:09,600
Speaker 2: of Lakewood Church in his latter years, I would come

122
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:12,560
Speaker 2: and get him and take him to church. I'll remember

123
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:14,960
Speaker 2: one time we were in the bag getting ready for church,

124
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:16,960
Speaker 2: and he had a woman who did his hair and

125
00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:20,960
Speaker 2: his makeup for television because we would broadcast the Sunday services.

126
00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:23,720
Speaker 2: And when I was back there one morning, this young

127
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:26,960
Speaker 2: lady that did his hair looked at him and she said, Pastor.

128
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:28,920
Speaker 4: Ostin, I have to tell you some news.

129
00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:32,160
Speaker 2: She said, my husband is being transferred to another state

130
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:34,440
Speaker 2: for his job. And she said, this is going to

131
00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:36,120
Speaker 2: be the last time that I'm going to be able

132
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:38,440
Speaker 2: to do your hair and makeup. She said, I'm so

133
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:41,200
Speaker 2: sorry this came so quickly, but this is one of

134
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:42,040
Speaker 2: those things where.

135
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:42,720
Speaker 4: I just have to go.

136
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:45,640
Speaker 2: And I remember him just kind of sitting there. He

137
00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:47,360
Speaker 2: was looking at her and I could just see a

138
00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:49,840
Speaker 2: thousand things going on in his head and he didn't

139
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:50,800
Speaker 2: know what to say.

140
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:52,000
Speaker 4: So he looked at me.

141
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:57,640
Speaker 2: And he said, well, Victoria, he said, can you do

142
00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:00,800
Speaker 2: my hair for TV on Sundays.

143
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:05,160
Speaker 4: I thought, I don't have a cosmetology.

144
00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:07,640
Speaker 2: License, I'm not trained in this. Then the next thing

145
00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:10,720
Speaker 2: I know, they're both looking at me. So I quickly

146
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:14,640
Speaker 2: just said, sure, I'll do it if you trust me. Well,

147
00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:18,280
Speaker 2: little did they know. I had a little experience when

148
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:20,360
Speaker 2: I was in junior high school. I used to cut

149
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:23,520
Speaker 2: some of my friend's hair and attempt at highlighting.

150
00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:26,840
Speaker 4: But that day I was given a promotion.

151
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:32,120
Speaker 2: I was now the hair solace for John Otising Lakefood

152
00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:38,560
Speaker 2: TV television productions. My family, a lot of my mother's

153
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:41,160
Speaker 2: side of the family lives in Georgia, and they were

154
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:44,600
Speaker 2: preparing a family reunion and they had made plans, got

155
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:46,480
Speaker 2: in hotels, got in locations.

156
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:48,640
Speaker 4: They'd put a lot of work into it.

157
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:50,679
Speaker 2: And they called me up and they gave me the

158
00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:52,559
Speaker 2: date and they said, listen, we're gonna have the best

159
00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:53,480
Speaker 2: family reunion.

160
00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:55,880
Speaker 4: You got to be there. This is the date. So

161
00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:58,160
Speaker 4: I checked the date and it fell.

162
00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:01,080
Speaker 2: On a weekend, and I said, look, guys, I can't

163
00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:03,840
Speaker 2: come on the weekend. I have to do my father

164
00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:08,640
Speaker 2: and lost hair. And they were like so disappointed. They

165
00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:11,600
Speaker 2: were like, what, you can't come and We've done all

166
00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:14,559
Speaker 2: this planning, And I said, no, I'm committed.

167
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:16,319
Speaker 4: We tape on Sunday.

168
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:17,560
Speaker 2: And I have to pick him up and I have

169
00:09:17,679 --> 00:09:20,680
Speaker 2: to bring to the church. I have to do his hair. Well,

170
00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:24,680
Speaker 2: later on I got word that they were talking about me.

171
00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:28,560
Speaker 2: I found out that they didn't think my job was

172
00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:32,560
Speaker 2: very important and they said, I can't believe that's all

173
00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:36,360
Speaker 2: she does in the ministry. I think she should be

174
00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:41,040
Speaker 2: doing more. You know, they weren't trying to be mean.

175
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:46,360
Speaker 2: They just thought my job description should be different. Well,

176
00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:48,480
Speaker 2: you know what, that hurt my feelings and I got

177
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:50,720
Speaker 2: to thinking about it and I got a little discouraged

178
00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:51,199
Speaker 2: about it.

179
00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:52,960
Speaker 4: But then I made a decision.

180
00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:56,160
Speaker 2: I thought, you know what, I'm gonna let that go

181
00:09:56,640 --> 00:09:59,120
Speaker 2: because deep down on the inside of me, I hear

182
00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:02,600
Speaker 2: be fa in the small, be faithful in the small,

183
00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:04,480
Speaker 2: Just be faithful in the small.

184
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:07,559
Speaker 4: So I let that go and.

185
00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:10,920
Speaker 2: I decided to be the best TV production hair person

186
00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:17,000
Speaker 2: there has ever been. So for several years, I'd picked

187
00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:19,280
Speaker 2: my father in law up, bring him to the church,

188
00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:23,880
Speaker 2: and get him TV ready. I was committed to that job.

189
00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:27,440
Speaker 2: I was faithful and in the routine of all those

190
00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:31,360
Speaker 2: Sunday mornings, all those weekends, I didn't realize that I

191
00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:36,440
Speaker 2: was building extraordinary into my life. You see, I believe

192
00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:40,400
Speaker 2: it built commitment in my life. I believe that it

193
00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:43,800
Speaker 2: was doing a work in me. It was causing me

194
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:48,600
Speaker 2: to be able to understand the ministry life, giving me vision.

195
00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:52,720
Speaker 4: It was showing me what it took to do this job.

196
00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:56,439
Speaker 2: And I believe just through those years of what some

197
00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:59,720
Speaker 2: people may not have thought was important, God did think

198
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:04,520
Speaker 2: it was important. It was building extraordinary in me. And

199
00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:07,600
Speaker 2: I believe that I can do what I'm doing today.

200
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:10,760
Speaker 2: I can be with my husband and help him push

201
00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:15,080
Speaker 2: this ministry forward because of the commitment and the faithfulness that.

202
00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:15,760
Speaker 4: I showed then.

203
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:21,600
Speaker 2: You see, in many ways it prepared me. So I

204
00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:25,120
Speaker 2: want to encourage you today. Don't let the definition of

205
00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:31,360
Speaker 2: someone else's success determine your future. See, someone might not

206
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:34,680
Speaker 2: think what you're doing is very important. They may look

207
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:38,960
Speaker 2: down on it. They may not realize what God is

208
00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:44,959
Speaker 2: doing in your life. He is preparing you for greater opportunity.

209
00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:49,200
Speaker 2: You see, because someone doesn't see what you're doing doesn't

210
00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:51,920
Speaker 2: mean that God doesn't see what you're doing. Just because

211
00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:55,280
Speaker 2: they don't think it's important doesn't mean God doesn't think

212
00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:59,240
Speaker 2: it's important. And I'm telling you, God, bless us faithfulness

213
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:03,320
Speaker 2: to pass this faithfulness test if we're going to.

214
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:05,440
Speaker 4: Go on to greater things.

215
00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:08,720
Speaker 2: You know, one thing that I realize that really can

216
00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:12,080
Speaker 2: reduce this extraordinary life that God's given us down to

217
00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:17,040
Speaker 2: ordinary is when we compare ourself. You know, we all

218
00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:20,680
Speaker 2: know that social media these days can make your life

219
00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:24,320
Speaker 2: feel like it's going nowhere. You look at these vacations,

220
00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:26,320
Speaker 2: you look at all this stuff these people are doing.

221
00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:27,880
Speaker 4: They're highlight reel.

222
00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:32,000
Speaker 2: And you think, man, my life is just ordinary routine.

223
00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:34,480
Speaker 2: I go to work, I come home. I go to work,

224
00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:35,199
Speaker 2: I come home.

225
00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:37,880
Speaker 4: When do they have time to do all this stuff?

226
00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:41,920
Speaker 2: Well, little do we realize it took them twenty nine

227
00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:45,600
Speaker 2: tries just to get that picture right, and then after

228
00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:50,320
Speaker 2: they filtered it, corrected it, worked through it, then it

229
00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:55,240
Speaker 2: was perfect. We know this, don't we We cannot fall

230
00:12:55,280 --> 00:13:01,360
Speaker 2: into the trap of comparing ourself because we're originals, we're masterpieces.

231
00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:02,600
Speaker 4: We're one of a kind.

232
00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:07,320
Speaker 2: The assignments that your call to do are distinct to

233
00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:08,079
Speaker 2: your calling.

234
00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:10,760
Speaker 4: You fit your destiny.

235
00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:15,160
Speaker 2: No one else can do what you've been called to do.

236
00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:19,560
Speaker 2: Don't shrink your life down to mundane an ordinary. Stir

237
00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:22,240
Speaker 2: up the gifts of God within you. What do you

238
00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:24,760
Speaker 2: have in your hand that is going to be your

239
00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:30,439
Speaker 2: extraordinary tomorrow? I encourage you just like I encourage myself.

240
00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:34,000
Speaker 4: God is a faithful God. Give it your all. Be

241
00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:35,440
Speaker 4: your best every day.

242
00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:38,720
Speaker 2: Listen, when you prepared today, you're going to be better

243
00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:42,240
Speaker 2: off tomorrow. Know that when you're faithful, you're going to

244
00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:44,200
Speaker 2: have something to talk about later on.

245
00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:46,960
Speaker 4: Amen. Amen, here's an awesome God.

246
00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:52,200
Speaker 5: Sometimes life can make you feel like you were just

247
00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:54,960
Speaker 5: living in the dark. Even your prayers don't feel like

248
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:57,840
Speaker 5: they are making it to heaven. But God is listening

249
00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:01,640
Speaker 5: and his light is about to shine.

250
00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:04,400
Speaker 3: We know God is all powerful that he can answer

251
00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:07,679
Speaker 3: any prayer, but sometimes we don't know what to pray.

252
00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:10,240
Speaker 1: We don't think we deserve God's goodness.

253
00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:13,839
Speaker 3: Maybe we're inconveniencing him, or he has more important things

254
00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:17,760
Speaker 3: to deal with. But God is concerned about every detail

255
00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:18,720
Speaker 3: of your life.

256
00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:20,720
Speaker 1: He's waiting to hear your prayers.

257
00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:24,960
Speaker 3: I have a new resource called Praying with Confidence, Guided
