But here it goes. I heard about Bubba. 16 00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:42,560 Speaker 1: He was outside doing yard work with his weed eater 17 00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:45,600 Speaker 1: when he accidentally cut off his cat's tail. 18 00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:48,639 Speaker 2: The cat was in the bushes. Bubba didn't see him. 19 00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:52,000 Speaker 1: He felt so badly he grabbed the tail, grabbed the cat, 20 00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:55,160 Speaker 1: said to his friend, I'm going to Walmart. His friend 21 00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:59,480 Speaker 1: said Walmart, while Walmart, Bubba said, Hello, They're the largest 22 00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:05,360 Speaker 1: retail in the world. Paul cell number is seven one three. 23 00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:08,160 Speaker 1: Come on say it like you mean it. This is 24 00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:11,160 Speaker 1: my Bible. I am what it says I am. I 25 00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:13,560 Speaker 1: have what it says I have. I can do what 26 00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:16,399 Speaker 1: it says I can do. Today I will be taught 27 00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:20,520 Speaker 1: the word of God. I boldly confess. My mind is alert, 28 00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:23,919 Speaker 1: my heart is receptive. I will never be the same. 29 00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:28,720 Speaker 1: In Jesus's name, God bless you. I want to talk 30 00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:33,039 Speaker 1: to you today about breaking negative cycles. Most of the 31 00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:36,600 Speaker 1: things we struggle with didn't start with us. They've been 32 00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:40,160 Speaker 1: passed down in our family line. You don't get to 33 00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:43,319 Speaker 1: choose your babbles. You didn't get to pick what you'll 34 00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:47,520 Speaker 1: have to deal with. Just as you inherit your parents' DNA, 35 00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:51,280 Speaker 1: which determines your eye color, how tall you'll be, what 36 00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:56,200 Speaker 1: kind of hair you'll have, you also inherit attitudes, habits, 37 00:01:56,240 --> 00:02:00,280 Speaker 1: and behaviors from those that have gone before you. Search 38 00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:06,520 Speaker 1: shows how depression can be passed down, anger, low self esteem, addictions. 39 00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:09,760 Speaker 1: It was in your bloodline, and it showed up with you. 40 00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:15,600 Speaker 1: The scripture calls this an iniquity that means a hereditary weakness. 41 00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:18,200 Speaker 2: I've seen families that can't. 42 00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:23,520 Speaker 1: Get along, parents arguing, cousins, upset siblings, bitter grandparents said 43 00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:27,520 Speaker 1: at odds, that's a spirit of strife, a spirit of 44 00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:31,200 Speaker 1: division that keeps getting passed down. I knew this young 45 00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:34,480 Speaker 1: man growing up. His father was indicted for fraud and 46 00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:37,760 Speaker 1: went to prison. This young man told me how his 47 00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:39,239 Speaker 1: grandfather was the same way. 48 00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:41,120 Speaker 2: He was so upset with. 49 00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:44,360 Speaker 1: Them, couldn't understand why they'd make poor choices, why they'd 50 00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:48,200 Speaker 1: cheap people. Twenty years later, a friend called and said, 51 00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:50,680 Speaker 1: did you hear about so and so. He's in trouble 52 00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:54,920 Speaker 1: for fraud. He didn't choose it, It chose him. It 53 00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:59,360 Speaker 1: will continue to go from generation to generation until someone 54 00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:01,760 Speaker 1: rises up up and says, I'm going to break this 55 00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:02,800 Speaker 1: negative cycle. 56 00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:04,799 Speaker 2: It didn't start with you. 57 00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:08,520 Speaker 1: The good news is it can end with you. You 58 00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:11,960 Speaker 1: can be the one that affects generations to come. You 59 00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:16,120 Speaker 1: can make it easier on your children and grandchildren. And 60 00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:19,240 Speaker 1: it's good to look back at your family history and 61 00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:20,880 Speaker 1: see what are we good. 62 00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:24,160 Speaker 2: At, what do we excel in? And what are the weaknesses? 63 00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:26,360 Speaker 2: Where do I see a pattern. 64 00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:31,240 Speaker 1: Of mediocrity, compromise, and failure. When you understand those same 65 00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:32,880 Speaker 1: spirits are coming after. 66 00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:35,840 Speaker 2: You, then you can be on guard. You can be. 67 00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:39,520 Speaker 1: Prepared say no thanks, depression, You're not welcome here. 68 00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:40,920 Speaker 2: No thanks. 69 00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:45,120 Speaker 1: I'm not giving into this addiction, this compromise. No thanks, 70 00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:50,560 Speaker 1: I'm not living inferior, insecure, angry, bitter. Don't let that 71 00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:54,800 Speaker 1: iniquity continue on. It's been in your family line. But 72 00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:57,600 Speaker 1: the reason you're hearing this is so that you can 73 00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:01,120 Speaker 1: put an end to it. I heard the phrase. It 74 00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:05,160 Speaker 1: ran in my family until it ran into me. You're 75 00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:08,360 Speaker 1: the difference maker. You called to set a new standard. 76 00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:13,960 Speaker 1: You're the exception. Everyone in your family was negative except you. 77 00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:19,960 Speaker 1: Everyone was broke except you, Everyone addicted except you, everyone 78 00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:21,080 Speaker 1: bitter except you. 79 00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:24,040 Speaker 2: I am looking at exceptional people. 80 00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:27,839 Speaker 1: People that stand out, people that defy the odds, people 81 00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:30,120 Speaker 1: that break barriers numbers. 82 00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:33,400 Speaker 2: Chapter twenty five. The Israelites had gotten off course. 83 00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:38,479 Speaker 1: This false prophet named Balem encouraged the Midianite women to 84 00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:42,200 Speaker 1: lure the Israelites into worshiping their idols, and they fell 85 00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:45,800 Speaker 1: right into that trap. They begin feasting with the Midianites 86 00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:50,000 Speaker 1: worshiping the god Bail. There were all kinds of immorality 87 00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:52,400 Speaker 1: and compromise going on, and God. 88 00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:53,360 Speaker 2: Was very displeased. 89 00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:58,440 Speaker 1: This plague broke out and twenty four thousand Israelites were killed. 90 00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:00,599 Speaker 2: Looked like that would continue. You own it. 91 00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:03,960 Speaker 1: Moses warned the people that they needed to change, but 92 00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:08,560 Speaker 1: they weren't listening. One of the Israelites took a Midianite 93 00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:11,760 Speaker 1: woman into his tent in defiance. 94 00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:12,400 Speaker 2: Of what Moses said. 95 00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:16,520 Speaker 1: Everyone was standing around watching, wondering what was going to happen. 96 00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:20,880 Speaker 1: Then a young man named Phineas Rosa went into the 97 00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:24,080 Speaker 1: tent and put an end to it. The scripture says 98 00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:27,599 Speaker 1: Phineas had the courage to step in, and the plague 99 00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:33,520 Speaker 1: was stopped. All this compromising mediocrity, and one person stepped 100 00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:36,440 Speaker 1: in and said, I'm going to honor God, I'm going 101 00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:38,960 Speaker 1: to live with integrity. I'm gonna do the right thing, 102 00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:43,200 Speaker 1: and the plague ended. You can stop the plague in 103 00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:43,880 Speaker 1: your family. 104 00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:45,840 Speaker 2: You can be the Phineas. 105 00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:51,960 Speaker 1: There may be negative baggage, people, compromising addictions, mediocrity. It 106 00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:56,880 Speaker 1: just takes one Phineas, one man, one woman, to break 107 00:05:56,920 --> 00:06:01,360 Speaker 1: the cycle of defeat. My prayer is, God, give us Phineases, 108 00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:05,479 Speaker 1: give us people who will rise up, not just accept 109 00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:09,159 Speaker 1: the dysfunction, not just live with the defeat, but will 110 00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:12,159 Speaker 1: have the courage to make a difference, to put an 111 00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:16,360 Speaker 1: end to what's limiting us. Phineas had to kill the compromise, 112 00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:21,440 Speaker 1: kill the disrespect, kill the worshiping of idols was drastic, 113 00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:22,680 Speaker 1: it was extreme. 114 00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:26,360 Speaker 2: But what you don't kill will end up killing you. 115 00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:30,240 Speaker 1: There are negative things in our family line that we 116 00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:33,039 Speaker 1: have to say you cannot live in my life. 117 00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:34,520 Speaker 2: It's symbolic. 118 00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:37,920 Speaker 1: You have to kill the anger, kill the addiction, kill 119 00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:42,080 Speaker 1: the unforgiveness. You can stop the plane, but as long 120 00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:44,760 Speaker 1: as you allow these things to live, it's going to 121 00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:48,120 Speaker 1: kill your dreams. Kill your peace, kill your freedom, kill 122 00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:48,800 Speaker 1: your purpose. 123 00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:52,400 Speaker 2: Now, be a Phineus. Have the courage to step up. 124 00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:54,280 Speaker 2: Our attitude should be. 125 00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:57,520 Speaker 1: This may have been passed down, but it's not going 126 00:06:57,600 --> 00:06:58,440 Speaker 1: to get past me. 127 00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:00,000 Speaker 2: This is where it is. 128 00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:03,880 Speaker 1: This is where the depression stops. This is where the addiction, 129 00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:08,520 Speaker 1: the low self esteem, the poverty mindset comes to an end. 130 00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:13,840 Speaker 1: Don't live with the dysfunction. Break the dysfunction. Well, nobody 131 00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:17,000 Speaker 1: in my family is successful. We just barely get by. 132 00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:20,360 Speaker 1: That's what was passed down to you. That's the way 133 00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:23,800 Speaker 1: it's been. But you're a Phineus. You're putting an end 134 00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:27,080 Speaker 1: to that. You'll call to rise higher. You're called to 135 00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:30,400 Speaker 1: put a stop to that plague. But join Everyone in 136 00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:34,640 Speaker 1: my family struggles with addictions. We all compromise, We all 137 00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:38,240 Speaker 1: have anger issues. That would be a good excuse to 138 00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:41,920 Speaker 1: stay that way if not for one thing. You're a phineus. 139 00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:46,200 Speaker 1: You have the courage to step in. God is destined 140 00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:49,679 Speaker 1: you to break the negative cycle, to set your family 141 00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:52,920 Speaker 1: on a new course, to reach levels that you've never seen. 142 00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:55,120 Speaker 2: Now, don't miss your chance. 143 00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:59,520 Speaker 1: This is a window of opportunity, a door that will 144 00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:03,400 Speaker 1: not all be open. It may be difficult, but God 145 00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:05,960 Speaker 1: won't ask you to do something and not give you 146 00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:10,240 Speaker 1: the grace to do it. Your children are counting on you, 147 00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:14,800 Speaker 1: your great grandchildren. Their destinies hang in the balance. Will 148 00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:17,760 Speaker 1: they deal with the same things you do or will 149 00:08:17,760 --> 00:08:20,200 Speaker 1: you put an end to it? Will you be the 150 00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:23,760 Speaker 1: one to break that negative cycle and stop the plague? 151 00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:25,720 Speaker 2: I already know the answer. 152 00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:30,200 Speaker 1: I'm looking at phineasis, I'm looking at barrier breakers. I'm 153 00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:34,320 Speaker 1: looking at people who are called equipped and anointed. The 154 00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:38,040 Speaker 1: power in you is greater than any power that's trying 155 00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:39,439 Speaker 1: to stop you. 156 00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:41,720 Speaker 2: You're going to feel a new sense of courage. 157 00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:44,280 Speaker 1: God's favor is going to be on you in a 158 00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:48,240 Speaker 1: greater way. Things you've struggled with in the past are 159 00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:49,920 Speaker 1: not going to be a struggle anymore. 160 00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:53,000 Speaker 2: Chains that have held you back are being broken. 161 00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:57,560 Speaker 1: Strongholds that have kept you captive are coming down. God's 162 00:08:57,600 --> 00:08:59,800 Speaker 1: going to do what you can't do on your own. 163 00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:04,520 Speaker 1: When you stand for righteousness, when you refuse to compromise, 164 00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:07,839 Speaker 1: when you say no, I'm not hanging around these same 165 00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:11,120 Speaker 1: friends that are holding me back. When you break out 166 00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:16,559 Speaker 1: of that negative mindset and believe bigger, pray bolder, dream larger, 167 00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:19,760 Speaker 1: you're going to see the hand of God turn things around, 168 00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:23,920 Speaker 1: break addictions, bring you out of dysfunction, promote you. 169 00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:26,360 Speaker 2: The levels that you never thought possible. 170 00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:30,240 Speaker 1: Think about all these people living with the plague, and 171 00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:33,600 Speaker 1: one man rose up and did something about it. One 172 00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:37,480 Speaker 1: man broke that cycle that had killed twenty four thousand people. 173 00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:41,400 Speaker 1: How many people are going to live better off because 174 00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:43,040 Speaker 1: you had the courage to step up. 175 00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:46,160 Speaker 2: How many of your relatives will look back. 176 00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:50,120 Speaker 1: And say, Wow, Thank God for Phineas, thank God for Julie, 177 00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:53,640 Speaker 1: thank God for Uncle Robert, thank God for Marcella. Now 178 00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:57,600 Speaker 1: we're free, Now we're blessed, Now we're confident. Now we're 179 00:09:57,640 --> 00:10:02,920 Speaker 1: successful because you're a Phineas. Because you killed what could 180 00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:06,920 Speaker 1: have killed you. You're impacting generations to come. You're one 181 00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:10,439 Speaker 1: of those heroes of faith, Joel, I don't think you're 182 00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:11,200 Speaker 1: talking about me. 183 00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:14,480 Speaker 2: Man. I'm not Phineas. I still struggle with an addiction. 184 00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:17,560 Speaker 2: I still have a problem with my temper. I'm still 185 00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:20,480 Speaker 2: dealing with poverty and lack. No, let me encourage you. 186 00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:24,199 Speaker 1: Phineas is in you, The barrier breaker is in you. 187 00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:27,920 Speaker 1: The same power that raised Christ from the dead lives 188 00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:31,520 Speaker 1: on the inside of you. And yes, there's a battle 189 00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:35,120 Speaker 1: in your bloodline. The good news is you're going to win. 190 00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:38,600 Speaker 2: That Phineas spirit is going to rise up in a 191 00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:41,440 Speaker 2: new way. You're going to put a stop to what's 192 00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:42,120 Speaker 2: stopping you. 193 00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:46,200 Speaker 1: Those weaknesses that have been passed down are just what 194 00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:50,400 Speaker 1: they're called. They're weak. They're no match for you. A 195 00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:53,360 Speaker 1: friend of mine was raised in a good family. When 196 00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:56,880 Speaker 1: he was a toddler, his father, in his early twenties 197 00:10:57,080 --> 00:11:00,280 Speaker 1: got a job at a large transportation company. He was 198 00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:03,920 Speaker 1: at an entry level position out washing the vehicles. He's 199 00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:07,400 Speaker 1: a hard worker, always on time, went the extra mile. 200 00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:10,760 Speaker 1: Those were the good things that had been passed down. 201 00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:14,840 Speaker 1: We all have these positive attributes. In our family line, 202 00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:17,640 Speaker 1: people that passed down courage, talent. 203 00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:18,640 Speaker 2: Good attitudes. 204 00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:22,440 Speaker 1: The key is to take the positive, build on the 205 00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:28,120 Speaker 1: good things, and lead the negative behind this. Men's parents, grandparents, 206 00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:32,960 Speaker 1: they were good people, but they struggled with alcohol. Over time, 207 00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:35,760 Speaker 1: they both ended up becoming alcoholics. 208 00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:38,040 Speaker 2: That was the environment he was raised in. 209 00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:42,640 Speaker 1: Well, he received promotion after promotion from out washing the 210 00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:47,760 Speaker 1: cars to supervising the department, then head of operations. Ten 211 00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:52,080 Speaker 1: years later he was in senior management. Everything was going great, 212 00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:56,440 Speaker 1: his family was blessed. But in this new position, the 213 00:11:56,520 --> 00:11:59,600 Speaker 1: people he worked with would go out several times a 214 00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:03,920 Speaker 1: week lunch and drink. They called it liquid lunch. Now, 215 00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:07,680 Speaker 1: he never touched alcohol. Knowing what his parents and grandparents 216 00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:11,200 Speaker 1: struggled with, he didn't want to seem odd like he 217 00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:15,280 Speaker 1: was too square, so he started drinking just a few times. 218 00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:16,280 Speaker 2: A week, no big deal. 219 00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:21,040 Speaker 1: He didn't realize that alcohol gene was lying dormant in 220 00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:25,960 Speaker 1: his DNA. He was predisposed to alcoholism that was passed 221 00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:29,199 Speaker 1: down to him. He made the mistake of waking up 222 00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:33,720 Speaker 1: that gene. He started drinking more and more. The scripture says, 223 00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:37,800 Speaker 1: don't give the enemy a foothold don't open the door. 224 00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:41,080 Speaker 1: If you crack it a little, he's gonna push and push. 225 00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:44,400 Speaker 1: He'd love for all that negative baggage to go from 226 00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:48,760 Speaker 1: generation to generation. Before long, it started affecting this father. 227 00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:53,080 Speaker 1: He started showing up late for work, started missing appointments. 228 00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:55,960 Speaker 1: He got to where some days he wouldn't come home 229 00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:59,920 Speaker 1: from work, wasn't with the family anymore. Got so bad 230 00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:04,280 Speaker 1: he lost his job, started living in shelters. My friend 231 00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:07,360 Speaker 1: told me how they were the perfect family, living the 232 00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:12,800 Speaker 1: American dream, and then alcoholism destroyed their life. My friend 233 00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:16,160 Speaker 1: is in the entertainment industry now, and he's very successful, 234 00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:19,600 Speaker 1: he said Joel. I don't touch alcohol, not because of 235 00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:24,960 Speaker 1: religious reasons, but I know I'm predisposed to alcoholism. When 236 00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:27,679 Speaker 1: you look back in your family line and you see 237 00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:30,720 Speaker 1: things that have caused heartache and pain, things that have 238 00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:35,319 Speaker 1: kept people from their potential, it's important to recognize that 239 00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:37,040 Speaker 1: those genes are passed down. 240 00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:40,600 Speaker 2: You're predisposed to that. But here's the beauty. 241 00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:45,160 Speaker 1: That doesn't mean it's going to automatically happen. You get 242 00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:49,000 Speaker 1: to choose whether you activate that gene or whether you 243 00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:53,160 Speaker 1: leave it lying dormant. His father activated it, and it 244 00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:56,720 Speaker 1: ruined his life. His son chose to leave it dormant, 245 00:13:57,000 --> 00:14:01,800 Speaker 1: and he's living a blessed, free, favor filled life. Alcoholism 246 00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:04,679 Speaker 1: ran in his family until it ran into him. 247 00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:07,240 Speaker 2: He was a phineas he. 248 00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:09,800 Speaker 1: Had the courage to step up and put an end 249 00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:14,200 Speaker 1: to it. His attitude was this alcoholism didn't start with me, 250 00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:17,840 Speaker 1: but it's gonna stop with me. I'm the difference maker. 251 00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:20,240 Speaker 1: I know some of you thinking, well, Joe, it's too 252 00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:22,720 Speaker 1: late for me. I've already activated that gene. 253 00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:25,800 Speaker 2: No, you can deactivate it. You have the power to 254 00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:26,520 Speaker 2: turn it off. 255 00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:29,560 Speaker 1: You can be the one to break the negative cycle. 256 00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:34,760 Speaker 1: Now it may not be alcohol for you, may be bitterness, 257 00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:39,720 Speaker 1: low self esteem, anger, There's a gene line dormant. Don't 258 00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:43,120 Speaker 1: wake it up. Don't open the door. You're gonna be tempted. 259 00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:48,120 Speaker 1: My friend told how in the entertainment industry, practically every event, 260 00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:50,200 Speaker 1: every meeting, there's alcohol. 261 00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:52,080 Speaker 2: People expect him to drink. 262 00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:55,320 Speaker 1: Ask him how he dealt with it, He said, Joel. 263 00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:56,120 Speaker 2: I'm bold about it. 264 00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:59,280 Speaker 1: When people pressure me, I say, listen, I come from 265 00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:03,200 Speaker 1: a family alcoholics. I've seen it ruin their life and 266 00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:04,720 Speaker 1: I'm not going to let it ruin mine. 267 00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:07,920 Speaker 2: When you look back at your history. 268 00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:11,160 Speaker 1: There may be things that are fine for other people, 269 00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:12,160 Speaker 1: but you know. 270 00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:15,200 Speaker 2: You shouldn't do it because you've been predisposed to it. 271 00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:17,720 Speaker 1: You don't want to wake up that gene. 272 00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:21,680 Speaker 2: Be aware and be diligent. Don't play with fire. 273 00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:25,720 Speaker 1: Don't think you can compromise just a little, be dishonest, 274 00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:28,440 Speaker 1: just a little, run with the wrong crowd, just a little. 275 00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:30,000 Speaker 2: It's not worth a chance. 276 00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:33,040 Speaker 1: What are you going to wake up? What genes are 277 00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:36,760 Speaker 1: you going to activate? God told Phineas, because you had 278 00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:40,000 Speaker 1: the courage to step up and stop this plague, I'm 279 00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:43,440 Speaker 1: going to make a covenant of peace with you. You and 280 00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:47,720 Speaker 1: your descendants will be priests for all time. Look at 281 00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:50,440 Speaker 1: how God works when you step up and put an 282 00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:53,960 Speaker 1: end to the plague, when you stop the negative baggage, 283 00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:58,400 Speaker 1: the addiction, the depression, the lack. God says, I'm not 284 00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:01,600 Speaker 1: only going to honor you in your family, but I'm 285 00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:04,520 Speaker 1: going to show favor to your descendants. I'm going to 286 00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:09,080 Speaker 1: place a lasting blessing on your family line. I know 287 00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:12,320 Speaker 1: today I'm walking in favor because of those that went 288 00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:16,200 Speaker 1: before me. I'm walking in blessings because I had people 289 00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:20,920 Speaker 1: that honored God. My father broke the negative cycle of 290 00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:24,680 Speaker 1: poverty in our family. He was raised very poor during 291 00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:27,600 Speaker 1: the Great Depression. Many times they didn't have money for 292 00:16:27,720 --> 00:16:33,280 Speaker 1: food or clothing. Looked like that poverty spirit, that lack mentality, 293 00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:37,640 Speaker 1: that defeat mindset would be passed down to him. But 294 00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:41,280 Speaker 1: it's seventeen years old. When he gave his life to Christ, 295 00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:45,200 Speaker 1: the first one in his family, something rose up in him. 296 00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:48,960 Speaker 1: He said, my children will never be raised in the 297 00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:50,520 Speaker 1: poverty and defeat that. 298 00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:51,200 Speaker 2: I'm raised in. 299 00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:55,640 Speaker 1: That gene was there, but he deactivated it. He was 300 00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:58,880 Speaker 1: a phineas he said, this plague is stopping with me. 301 00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:02,160 Speaker 2: He didn't just sit back. He took steps of faith. 302 00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:03,600 Speaker 2: He had to hitchhike. 303 00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:05,919 Speaker 1: He didn't have a car, but he went out and 304 00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:11,480 Speaker 1: started ministring. God opened doors made ways. My father left 305 00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:16,679 Speaker 1: our family blessed, successful, not just with resources, but with 306 00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:20,560 Speaker 1: a new mindset that our God is all powerful, that 307 00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:23,680 Speaker 1: when we believe, he can take you where you've never dreamed, 308 00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:26,760 Speaker 1: That when you honor him, he'll open doors that no 309 00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:30,480 Speaker 1: person can shut, that'll give you compact centers, that'll heal 310 00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:34,320 Speaker 1: you from cancer. Now our children have enough negative things 311 00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:37,960 Speaker 1: to deal with. I don't want them predisposed to doubt, 312 00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:44,040 Speaker 1: predisposed to fear, addictions, compromise. I want them predisposed to faith, 313 00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:50,800 Speaker 1: predisposed to blessings, predisposed to godliness, to integrity, to generosity. 314 00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:55,280 Speaker 1: I want them to succeed because of me, and not in. 315 00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:55,800 Speaker 2: Spite of me. 316 00:17:56,880 --> 00:17:59,960 Speaker 1: In the scripture, Isaac was very old and about the past. 317 00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:03,119 Speaker 1: He was nearly blind, and he said word for his 318 00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:05,879 Speaker 1: son Esau to come in, and he was going to 319 00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:08,680 Speaker 1: give him the blessing that belonged to the firstborn son. 320 00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:09,520 Speaker 2: Well. 321 00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:13,480 Speaker 1: His wife, Rebecca loved their son, Jacob more than Esau. 322 00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:17,159 Speaker 1: She told Jacob to dress up like Esaw, go in 323 00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:19,720 Speaker 1: there and pretend to be his brother so he could 324 00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:23,560 Speaker 1: get the best blessing. Esau was very hairy, so she 325 00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:26,480 Speaker 1: made Jacob some animal skin to put on his arms. 326 00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:30,080 Speaker 1: Jacob went in, tricked their father and received the blessing. 327 00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:34,720 Speaker 1: It wasn't just the mother that was deceitful. Jacob had 328 00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:39,040 Speaker 1: that same spirit. He was dishonest. Remember how earlier he 329 00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:40,879 Speaker 1: tricked his brother out of his birthright. 330 00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:44,520 Speaker 2: It didn't stop there. His uncle Lavin was dishonest. 331 00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:47,159 Speaker 1: He tricked Jacob said he was going to give him 332 00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:48,600 Speaker 1: one daughter in marriage. 333 00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:50,480 Speaker 2: But when Jacob woke up. 334 00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:53,440 Speaker 1: The morning after the wedding, he looked over in bed 335 00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:54,720 Speaker 1: and it was the other sister. 336 00:18:55,320 --> 00:18:55,879 Speaker 2: Surprise. 337 00:18:56,760 --> 00:19:02,320 Speaker 1: Now, notice how that's the Dame's spirit traveled through the 338 00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:08,560 Speaker 1: family line. Deceit, manipulation, dishonesty. That's not a coincidence. That's 339 00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:12,400 Speaker 1: a spirit that keeps getting passed down. It just needs 340 00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:15,720 Speaker 1: a phineas for someone to rise up and say, no, 341 00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:19,880 Speaker 1: we're not living like this. I recognize what's happening. I'm 342 00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:22,240 Speaker 1: going to live as a person of honor, true to 343 00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:26,520 Speaker 1: my word, with integrity. One time Abraham had to travel 344 00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:29,840 Speaker 1: to a new city and his wife, Sarah was very beautiful, 345 00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:32,200 Speaker 1: and he was afraid that the people. 346 00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:33,800 Speaker 2: Would kill him so they could have her. 347 00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:37,919 Speaker 1: So he lied and told King Abimelech that Sarah was 348 00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:41,359 Speaker 1: his sister, that they weren't married. The king later found 349 00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:46,080 Speaker 1: out the truth. Eventually Abraham passed. Years later, his son 350 00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:49,960 Speaker 1: Isaac was traveling through the same city. His wife, Rebecca 351 00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:53,119 Speaker 1: was very beautiful. Isaac was afraid they would get rid 352 00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:56,560 Speaker 1: of him to have her. He told King Abimelech, the 353 00:19:56,600 --> 00:19:59,560 Speaker 1: same king, that Rebecca was his sister. 354 00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:00,600 Speaker 2: In the his wife. 355 00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:05,600 Speaker 1: It's interesting how these negative traits keep getting passed down. 356 00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:09,000 Speaker 1: It's the same way today. It can be a spirit 357 00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:13,040 Speaker 1: of low self esteem. Everyone in your family feels unworthy, 358 00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:17,199 Speaker 1: not good enough, not attractive. Do yourself a favor, be 359 00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:20,399 Speaker 1: a pheneus. Put an end to it. You're made in 360 00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:23,720 Speaker 1: the image of God. You have royal blood flowing through 361 00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:28,320 Speaker 1: your veins. Turn off that unworthy, inferior gene. Let it 362 00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:32,640 Speaker 1: stay dormant. Maybe it's a spirit of mediocrity. No one 363 00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:36,640 Speaker 1: in your family can get ahead. You're not expecting anything good, Joe, 364 00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:39,679 Speaker 1: We're just average people. You have to get rid of 365 00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:43,440 Speaker 1: that spirit. It's been passed down long enough. It ran 366 00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:46,920 Speaker 1: in your family. The good news is it ran into you. 367 00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:51,000 Speaker 1: You're the Phineas. Get your passion back, start expecting to 368 00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:55,240 Speaker 1: rise higher, Start declaring God's promises over your life. It's 369 00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:58,920 Speaker 1: good to ask yourself, why do I struggle in this area? 370 00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:00,919 Speaker 2: Why do I feel not good enough? 371 00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:05,040 Speaker 1: Why am I drawn to compromise to addictions, to manipulation. 372 00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:09,600 Speaker 1: Those are battles you didn't choose, Battles that didn't start 373 00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:13,439 Speaker 1: with you. They were passed down, but they can stop 374 00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:14,600 Speaker 1: with you. 375 00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:15,919 Speaker 2: You can be the Phineas. 376 00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:19,320 Speaker 1: It may not be easy, but if you'll make a move, 377 00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:22,440 Speaker 1: God will make a move. If you'll take a step 378 00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:24,960 Speaker 1: of faith, God will give you the grace to do 379 00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:28,280 Speaker 1: what you can't do on your own. He's just waiting 380 00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:31,760 Speaker 1: for you to rise up. That may mean to forgive, 381 00:21:32,359 --> 00:21:35,240 Speaker 1: to get rid of the bitterness. It may mean to 382 00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:37,840 Speaker 1: get help with that addiction, to attend. 383 00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:38,679 Speaker 2: Our freedom class. 384 00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:42,359 Speaker 1: It may mean, like my father, to have a new mindset, 385 00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:46,720 Speaker 1: to not accept defeat and mediocrity as your destiny, to 386 00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:49,680 Speaker 1: have a new vision, to believe that you can leave 387 00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:54,359 Speaker 1: your mark. You have to deactivate those negative traits that. 388 00:21:54,280 --> 00:21:55,280 Speaker 2: Have been passed down. 389 00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:58,840 Speaker 1: You didn't have anything to do with it. It's an iniquity, 390 00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:02,840 Speaker 1: something you in herited, but God wouldn't have allowed it 391 00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:05,200 Speaker 1: if it was going to keep you from your destiny. 392 00:22:05,880 --> 00:22:09,160 Speaker 1: You can break that negative cycle and be the one 393 00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:12,679 Speaker 1: to set your family on a new course. In the 394 00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:16,320 Speaker 1: Old Testament, God told Saul to go and kill all 395 00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:21,160 Speaker 1: the Amalekites, to not spare anyone or anything. Saul went 396 00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:25,200 Speaker 1: out and defeated the enemy, but he spared King Agag. 397 00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:27,280 Speaker 2: When he returned home. 398 00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:30,280 Speaker 1: The prophet Samuel came, says Saul, God told you to 399 00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:34,600 Speaker 1: destroy the entire army, but you've spared the king. Fast 400 00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:38,200 Speaker 1: forward hundreds of years later, Estra was in the palace. 401 00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:41,240 Speaker 1: A man by the name of Hayman was trying to 402 00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:43,960 Speaker 1: get rid of her and all the Jews. It says 403 00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:48,159 Speaker 1: that Hayman was an Agite, and Agite was a descendant 404 00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:51,720 Speaker 1: of King a gag. If Saul would have taken care 405 00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:54,600 Speaker 1: of his enemy when God gave him the power to 406 00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:58,480 Speaker 1: do it, then Esther wouldn't have this problem five hundred 407 00:22:58,600 --> 00:22:59,119 Speaker 1: years later. 408 00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:00,840 Speaker 2: Could it be? 409 00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:03,879 Speaker 1: If you don't rise up and put a stop to 410 00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:07,960 Speaker 1: what's hindering you, then hundreds of years from now your 411 00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:11,959 Speaker 1: family will still be struggling with it. God is saying, 412 00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:16,000 Speaker 1: this is your time, this is your moment. Your destiny 413 00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:19,200 Speaker 1: is calling out. You can either put up with it 414 00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:22,120 Speaker 1: and let it conquer you, or you can put your 415 00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:25,080 Speaker 1: foot down and say no, I'm going to be a phineas. 416 00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:27,880 Speaker 1: I'm going to put a stop to what's holding us back. 417 00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:32,440 Speaker 1: I'm going to deal with this addiction, this anger, this compromise, 418 00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:36,280 Speaker 1: this depression. I'm not going to let my history keep 419 00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:39,879 Speaker 1: me from my destiny. Yes, we all have negative things 420 00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:42,600 Speaker 1: in our family line, but when you gave your life 421 00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:43,199 Speaker 1: to Christ. 422 00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:46,880 Speaker 2: You became a new creation. He puts some new genes 423 00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:47,199 Speaker 2: in you. 424 00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:51,280 Speaker 1: There is strength in your genes, there is freedom in 425 00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:57,160 Speaker 1: your genes. There's health, abundance, victory is in your genes. Well, Joel, 426 00:23:57,160 --> 00:24:00,800 Speaker 1: this is encouraging. But everybody in my family it's divorced. 427 00:24:01,280 --> 00:24:05,280 Speaker 1: We all have addictions. Everyone struggles in their finances. Here's 428 00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:10,359 Speaker 1: the catch. You're not everyone. You're the exception. You're a Foeneus. 429 00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:13,800 Speaker 1: You have more knowledge than they had. The favor on 430 00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:17,960 Speaker 1: your life is stronger, the blessing is greater, the anointing 431 00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:21,560 Speaker 1: is more powerful. They may have lived with it, but 432 00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:23,760 Speaker 1: you were raised up to put an end to it. 433 00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:27,920 Speaker 1: You're the difference maker. You can break that negative cycle. 434 00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:32,119 Speaker 1: Eighteen seventy four, a member of the New York Prison 435 00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:35,880 Speaker 1: Board noticed that six people from the same family were 436 00:24:35,920 --> 00:24:38,480 Speaker 1: serving in one of the prisons, and he was intrigued 437 00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:41,479 Speaker 1: by it and decided to do a study. He traced 438 00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:44,160 Speaker 1: their family line back to a man by the name 439 00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:48,159 Speaker 1: of Max Jukes. He was born in seventeen twenty. He 440 00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:51,840 Speaker 1: was known in the town as the troublemaker, a heavy drinker, 441 00:24:52,160 --> 00:24:53,000 Speaker 1: no integrity. 442 00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:55,359 Speaker 2: He married a woman just like him. 443 00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:59,480 Speaker 1: They had six daughters, two sons. Twelve hundred of their 444 00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:03,960 Speaker 1: descendants were studied. Of those, three hundred and ten were homeless, 445 00:25:04,520 --> 00:25:07,800 Speaker 1: one hundred and eighty alcoholics, one hundred and sixty were 446 00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:11,840 Speaker 1: drug addicts. One hundred and fifty became criminals that served 447 00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:15,520 Speaker 1: time in prison. Another family was studied that lived the 448 00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:19,520 Speaker 1: wrong that same time. His name was Jonathan Edwards. He 449 00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:24,480 Speaker 1: was a famous theologian, the president of Princeton University. He 450 00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:28,119 Speaker 1: married his wife Sarah. They had eleven children. He was 451 00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:32,320 Speaker 1: a devoted family man that honored God. Fourteen hundred of 452 00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:37,199 Speaker 1: their descendants were studied. Among them, thirteen were college presidents, 453 00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:42,160 Speaker 1: sixty five were professors, one hundred were lawyers, sixty six 454 00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:46,600 Speaker 1: were physicians, eighty five were authors of classic books, thirty 455 00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:50,400 Speaker 1: two were state judges. Eighty were holders of public office, 456 00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:55,080 Speaker 1: including three US senators, three governors, and one vice president 457 00:25:55,160 --> 00:25:59,240 Speaker 1: of the United States. It makes a difference what you're 458 00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:04,719 Speaker 1: passing down. Your choices will affect generations to come. You 459 00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:07,080 Speaker 1: may have things in your family line that have been 460 00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:12,040 Speaker 1: there for generations. Addictions, poverty, divorce, compromise. It's going to 461 00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:15,760 Speaker 1: say there until someone rises up and puts a stop 462 00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:16,160 Speaker 1: to it. 463 00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:18,920 Speaker 2: I'm saying you're the Phineas. 464 00:26:19,520 --> 00:26:21,919 Speaker 1: You're the one God is raised up to break the 465 00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:22,920 Speaker 1: negative cycle. 466 00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:26,160 Speaker 2: This is not an option. You have to kill it 467 00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:28,080 Speaker 2: or it will kill your dreams. 468 00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:31,280 Speaker 1: It will kill your potential, it will kill your purpose. 469 00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:34,840 Speaker 1: There's a battle in your bloodline. You didn't choose it, 470 00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:38,160 Speaker 1: but you can win it. The forces that are for 471 00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:42,000 Speaker 1: you are greater than forces that are against you. If 472 00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:45,080 Speaker 1: you will rise up and be a Phineas I believe 473 00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:48,320 Speaker 1: and declare like God did for him, There's going to 474 00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:51,159 Speaker 1: be a blessing on your family line. You're going to 475 00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:56,840 Speaker 1: see favor that you've never seen. Addictions are being broken, depression, strife, 476 00:26:57,040 --> 00:26:58,200 Speaker 1: low self esteem. 477 00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:00,159 Speaker 2: You're going to rise higher. 478 00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:03,800 Speaker 1: And become all you were created to be. In Jesus' name, 479 00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:09,040 Speaker 1: if you receive it, can you say amen? I'd like 480 00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:11,680 Speaker 1: to give you an opportunity to make Jesus the lord 481 00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:12,359 Speaker 1: of your life. 482 00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:13,720 Speaker 2: Would you pray with me? 483 00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:18,560 Speaker 1: Just say, Lord, Jesus, I repent of my sins. 484 00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:23,840 Speaker 2: Come into my heart. I make you my Lord and savior. 485 00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:27,520 Speaker 1: If you prayed that simple prayer, we believe you got 486 00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:30,520 Speaker 1: born again. We'd love to send you some information on 487 00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:32,480 Speaker 1: your new walk with the Lord, you can text the 488 00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:35,320 Speaker 1: number or go to the website. I hope you'll get 489 00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:39,159 Speaker 1: into a good Bible based church and keep God first place. 490 00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:44,440 Speaker 3: We all carry a mental picture of what our life 491 00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:50,720 Speaker 3: can be. Is yours limited? Do you picture yourself stuck?
