Know that God's for you. 6 00:00:13,360 --> 00:00:15,080 Speaker 2: He's got you in the palm of his hand and 7 00:00:15,300 --> 00:00:16,900 Speaker 2: I hope you enjoy the message today. 8 00:00:19,550 --> 00:00:20,840 Speaker 3: Come on, say it like you mean it. 9 00:00:20,870 --> 00:00:24,590 Speaker 1: Ready? This is my Bible. I am what it says 10 00:00:24,710 --> 00:00:28,510 Speaker 1: I am. I have what it says I have. I 11 00:00:28,570 --> 00:00:29,930 Speaker 1: can do what it says. 12 00:00:29,790 --> 00:00:33,110 Speaker 3: I can do. Tonight, I will be taught the Word 13 00:00:33,150 --> 00:00:38,350 Speaker 3: of God. I boldly confess my mind is alert. My 14 00:00:38,430 --> 00:00:43,550 Speaker 3: heart is receptive. I will never be the same. In Jesus' name, 15 00:00:43,909 --> 00:00:45,870 Speaker 3: God bless you. Sound great. 16 00:00:48,710 --> 00:00:51,409 Speaker 1: I want to talk to you tonight about stepping in 17 00:00:51,550 --> 00:00:55,920 Speaker 1: to your divine destiny. Every one of us has seeds 18 00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:59,760 Speaker 1: of greatness on the inside. You have a gift to 19 00:00:59,820 --> 00:01:03,490 Speaker 1: share with this world. There is buried treasure down in 20 00:01:03,550 --> 00:01:07,230 Speaker 1: you right now. potential that has not yet been released. 21 00:01:08,030 --> 00:01:09,660 Speaker 3: But so often, we. 22 00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:13,280 Speaker 1: Let other people talk us out of our dreams. We 23 00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:18,390 Speaker 1: let disappointments and failures keep our treasure buried. We allow 24 00:01:18,550 --> 00:01:23,410 Speaker 1: insecurities and low self-esteem to convince us that we don't 25 00:01:23,470 --> 00:01:27,910 Speaker 1: have anything special to offer. We're just an average, ordinary person. 26 00:01:28,430 --> 00:01:32,470 Speaker 1: But no, God did not make average people. He did 27 00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:36,399 Speaker 1: not create any of us as ordinary. No matter what 28 00:01:36,500 --> 00:01:39,840 Speaker 1: someone has told you, no matter how they tried to 29 00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:43,400 Speaker 1: make you feel, listen to what God is saying. There 30 00:01:43,500 --> 00:01:46,080 Speaker 1: is treasure on your inside. 31 00:01:46,530 --> 00:01:49,570 Speaker 3: You have something to offer that no one else has. 32 00:01:50,330 --> 00:01:53,470 Speaker 1: And if you don't step in to your destiny and 33 00:01:53,550 --> 00:01:56,730 Speaker 1: release your gift, then this world will not be as 34 00:01:56,790 --> 00:02:00,950 Speaker 1: bright as it should be. And understand, no one can 35 00:02:01,010 --> 00:02:01,910 Speaker 1: take your place. 36 00:02:02,590 --> 00:02:06,830 Speaker 3: You are unique. When God created you, He threw away 37 00:02:06,870 --> 00:02:07,330 Speaker 3: the mold. 38 00:02:08,030 --> 00:02:12,130 Speaker 1: Don't make the mistake of comparing yourself with someone else. 39 00:02:12,850 --> 00:02:15,369 Speaker 1: If God wanted you to have their gift, He would 40 00:02:15,389 --> 00:02:16,470 Speaker 1: have given you their gift. 41 00:02:17,210 --> 00:02:18,329 Speaker 3: If He wanted you. 42 00:02:18,230 --> 00:02:21,779 Speaker 1: To look like them and have their personality, He would 43 00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:25,680 Speaker 1: have created you that way. You don't need what they 44 00:02:25,740 --> 00:02:29,580 Speaker 1: have to fulfill your destiny. You have what you need. 45 00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:34,989 Speaker 1: It's already on the inside. When God created you, He 46 00:02:35,070 --> 00:02:38,820 Speaker 1: matched you with your world. He decided what your purpose 47 00:02:38,860 --> 00:02:42,290 Speaker 1: would be. He gave you an assignment. And then He 48 00:02:42,350 --> 00:02:47,830 Speaker 1: put in you the gifts, the talents, the looks, the creativity, 49 00:02:48,230 --> 00:02:52,390 Speaker 1: the personality. He equipped you with exactly what you need. 50 00:02:53,230 --> 00:02:56,459 Speaker 1: That means if you needed to be taller, God would 51 00:02:56,480 --> 00:03:00,320 Speaker 1: have made you taller. If you needed to be another nationality, 52 00:03:00,860 --> 00:03:04,120 Speaker 1: God would have made you another nationality. If you needed 53 00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:07,150 Speaker 1: a different personality, God would have created you that way. 54 00:03:08,070 --> 00:03:12,090 Speaker 1: Quit despising what you have. Quit complaining about what you 55 00:03:12,130 --> 00:03:17,090 Speaker 1: don't have. You are fearfully and wonderfully made. God has 56 00:03:17,169 --> 00:03:19,760 Speaker 1: created you exactly the way he wants you to be. 57 00:03:20,860 --> 00:03:22,380 Speaker 3: Think about with a car. 58 00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:25,899 Speaker 1: You can purchase a car that's totally stripped down. 59 00:03:26,340 --> 00:03:29,160 Speaker 3: Just the basics. No AC, no. 60 00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:33,549 Speaker 1: Power windows, no radio, just a standard car. But know this, 61 00:03:34,010 --> 00:03:37,750 Speaker 1: when God made you, He had all the options put on. 62 00:03:38,430 --> 00:03:41,760 Speaker 1: You are not a wannabe. You are not a stripped 63 00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:45,820 Speaker 1: down version of the real thing. You are fully loaded 64 00:03:46,380 --> 00:03:50,620 Speaker 1: and totally equipped. When God created you, He said, I 65 00:03:51,100 --> 00:03:52,380 Speaker 1: want the deluxe package. 66 00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:56,000 Speaker 3: I want the chrome wheels. I want the sunroof. I 67 00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:57,890 Speaker 3: want the navigation. I want the. 68 00:03:57,850 --> 00:04:01,110 Speaker 1: Stereo with surround. And oh yeah, don't forget my pinstripes. 69 00:04:03,170 --> 00:04:05,910 Speaker 1: Some of you got a sedan. Some of you got 70 00:04:05,930 --> 00:04:08,910 Speaker 1: a compact. Some of you got a truck. Some of 71 00:04:08,950 --> 00:04:12,800 Speaker 1: you got a lowrider. Don't be discouraged even if you 72 00:04:12,820 --> 00:04:17,840 Speaker 1: got a station wagon, like my brother Paul. Whatever God 73 00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:21,890 Speaker 1: has given you, you are fully loaded and totally equipped. 74 00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:25,920 Speaker 1: I realize I may not have what someone else has. 75 00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:29,630 Speaker 1: They may be a Ferrari and I'm a Ford, but 76 00:04:29,650 --> 00:04:32,650 Speaker 1: I'm not the least bit worried. I know I have 77 00:04:32,690 --> 00:04:36,529 Speaker 1: what I need to fulfill my purpose. When we try 78 00:04:36,570 --> 00:04:40,140 Speaker 1: to be something that we're not, that's when life gets frustrating. 79 00:04:40,980 --> 00:04:44,240 Speaker 1: I've learned it's easy to be me. I don't have 80 00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:47,880 Speaker 1: to perform. I don't have to manipulate things. I can 81 00:04:47,930 --> 00:04:51,870 Speaker 1: just relax and be myself. Do you know I can 82 00:04:51,930 --> 00:04:55,310 Speaker 1: be a better me than anybody else in the whole world? 83 00:04:55,810 --> 00:04:56,150 Speaker 2: Why? 84 00:04:56,670 --> 00:05:00,710 Speaker 3: I'm anointed to be me. You are anointed to be you. 85 00:05:01,450 --> 00:05:03,870 Speaker 3: Nobody can beat you at being you. 86 00:05:04,890 --> 00:05:07,360 Speaker 1: Quit worrying about what you don't have and just be 87 00:05:07,420 --> 00:05:11,230 Speaker 1: the best you that you can possibly be. I remember 88 00:05:11,270 --> 00:05:14,670 Speaker 1: when I first started ministering, I was very intimidated and 89 00:05:14,730 --> 00:05:18,349 Speaker 1: very unsure of myself. I would hear these other ministers 90 00:05:18,390 --> 00:05:21,580 Speaker 1: that were so dynamic. Many of them could not only 91 00:05:21,900 --> 00:05:26,140 Speaker 1: speak exceptionally well, but they could even sing incredibly well. 92 00:05:26,890 --> 00:05:27,660 Speaker 3: At the end of their. 93 00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:30,960 Speaker 1: Sermons, they just burst out into songs and it was 94 00:05:31,060 --> 00:05:33,940 Speaker 1: so effective, it almost gave you chill bumps. I used 95 00:05:33,980 --> 00:05:37,200 Speaker 1: to think, God, why can't I sing like that? Why 96 00:05:37,220 --> 00:05:38,580 Speaker 1: don't I have their gift? 97 00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:41,360 Speaker 3: But one day I realized. 98 00:05:41,180 --> 00:05:44,780 Speaker 1: God has given me what I need. If they have 99 00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:47,560 Speaker 1: it and I don't, it must mean that I don't 100 00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:50,099 Speaker 1: need it. And yes, they may be able to sing 101 00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:52,920 Speaker 1: exceptionally well, but I know this, they're not near as 102 00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:58,410 Speaker 1: good looking as I am. Friends, you are fully loaded 103 00:05:58,870 --> 00:06:02,310 Speaker 1: and totally equipped. Don't you dare go around thinking, oh, 104 00:06:02,330 --> 00:06:04,920 Speaker 1: I don't have what it takes. No, you go around saying, 105 00:06:05,210 --> 00:06:06,080 Speaker 1: I'm anointed. 106 00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:09,840 Speaker 3: I'm empowered. I am talented. I am creative. 107 00:06:10,260 --> 00:06:14,740 Speaker 1: I am a fully loaded person. I heard about this 108 00:06:14,820 --> 00:06:18,200 Speaker 1: young lady many years ago. She went to the theater 109 00:06:18,220 --> 00:06:22,380 Speaker 1: and heard a girl singing so beautifully. She complained to 110 00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:25,440 Speaker 1: her friends, if I could just sing like that, then 111 00:06:25,460 --> 00:06:26,430 Speaker 1: I'd be successful. 112 00:06:27,290 --> 00:06:30,030 Speaker 3: She went to the movies and saw an actress giving 113 00:06:30,070 --> 00:06:31,630 Speaker 3: an award-winning performance. 114 00:06:32,110 --> 00:06:34,920 Speaker 1: She thought to herself, if I could just act like that, 115 00:06:35,380 --> 00:06:36,520 Speaker 1: then I'd be successful. 116 00:06:37,390 --> 00:06:40,150 Speaker 3: But one day, someone told her what I'm telling you. 117 00:06:41,010 --> 00:06:44,240 Speaker 1: And instead of looking at others, complaining about what she 118 00:06:44,270 --> 00:06:48,400 Speaker 1: didn't have, she looked inside and discovered what she did have. 119 00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:50,599 Speaker 3: She remembered how all. 120 00:06:50,500 --> 00:06:54,740 Speaker 1: Through school, she was constantly making people laugh. She was 121 00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:58,930 Speaker 1: naturally funny. She had this gift for humor. She went 122 00:06:59,060 --> 00:07:03,130 Speaker 1: on to develop that gift. And today, Phyllis Diller has 123 00:07:03,170 --> 00:07:07,800 Speaker 1: become extremely successful. And what's interesting is she doesn't have 124 00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:11,550 Speaker 1: the beautiful looks like the movie actress she saw. She 125 00:07:11,590 --> 00:07:14,590 Speaker 1: doesn't have the incredible voice like the young lady she 126 00:07:14,670 --> 00:07:18,230 Speaker 1: heard that was seen. In fact, her voice is very scratchy, 127 00:07:18,390 --> 00:07:22,750 Speaker 1: very gruff. But when God created you, He didn't make 128 00:07:22,830 --> 00:07:26,680 Speaker 1: any mistakes. And instead of looking at others, thinking about 129 00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:30,200 Speaker 1: what you don't have, why don't you look inside and 130 00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:34,630 Speaker 1: you'll discover what you do have. The fingerprints of God 131 00:07:34,810 --> 00:07:39,080 Speaker 1: are all over you. Before you were born, God knew you. 132 00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:43,320 Speaker 1: He has planned out all your days for good. Don't 133 00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:48,400 Speaker 1: let your potential lie dormant. Tap into that buried treasure. 134 00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:53,020 Speaker 1: Share your gift with the world. You have more in you. 135 00:07:53,700 --> 00:07:55,730 Speaker 3: There is talent you've not yet discovered. 136 00:07:56,490 --> 00:07:58,950 Speaker 1: You may have had some great victories in your past, 137 00:07:59,270 --> 00:08:02,020 Speaker 1: but that is nothing compared to what God has in 138 00:08:02,060 --> 00:08:05,300 Speaker 1: your future. And if you will see yourself as a 139 00:08:05,460 --> 00:08:10,060 Speaker 1: fully loaded person, totally equipped, then as you stretch your faith, 140 00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:13,080 Speaker 1: God is going to show up and show out in 141 00:08:13,140 --> 00:08:16,680 Speaker 1: amazing ways. Now, I know tonight I am not looking 142 00:08:16,820 --> 00:08:20,730 Speaker 1: at average people. I'm not looking at anyone ordinary. I'm 143 00:08:20,770 --> 00:08:26,390 Speaker 1: looking at fully loaded people, victors and not victims. And 144 00:08:26,450 --> 00:08:30,310 Speaker 1: I'm declaring the treasure that's been buried is going to 145 00:08:30,370 --> 00:08:35,849 Speaker 1: come out. I'm calling forth the dreams, the gifts, the talents, 146 00:08:36,309 --> 00:08:41,949 Speaker 1: the businesses, the ideas, the inventions, the books, the songs, 147 00:08:42,030 --> 00:08:47,630 Speaker 1: the movies. I'm calling forth that untapped potential. I believe 148 00:08:47,770 --> 00:08:50,390 Speaker 1: that you're going to step in to a new season. 149 00:08:51,050 --> 00:08:53,850 Speaker 1: You're going to have a confidence to do things that 150 00:08:53,890 --> 00:08:57,850 Speaker 1: you wouldn't do before. You're going to feel a supernatural strength. 151 00:08:58,690 --> 00:09:02,670 Speaker 1: Supernatural doors are going to open up for you. Supernatural 152 00:09:02,770 --> 00:09:03,809 Speaker 1: opportunities are. 153 00:09:03,770 --> 00:09:07,670 Speaker 3: Coming your way. Don't shrink back. Don't be intimidated. 154 00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:11,580 Speaker 1: The Creator of the universe has not only equipped and 155 00:09:11,660 --> 00:09:17,020 Speaker 1: empowered you, but He's breathing in your direction. He's breathing creativity. 156 00:09:17,460 --> 00:09:23,960 Speaker 1: He's breathing confidence. He's breathing ideas. He's breathing restoration. God 157 00:09:24,140 --> 00:09:27,100 Speaker 1: is saying to you what he said to Joshua, be 158 00:09:27,220 --> 00:09:30,740 Speaker 1: strong and of good courage for the Lord your God 159 00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:40,910 Speaker 1: is with you. And some of you have been told 160 00:09:40,950 --> 00:09:44,130 Speaker 1: a thousand times what you can't do, but I'm here 161 00:09:44,150 --> 00:09:48,130 Speaker 1: to tell you what you can do. You can overcome 162 00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:52,800 Speaker 1: every obstacle. You can prosper in spite of the economy. 163 00:09:53,550 --> 00:09:57,949 Speaker 1: You can be healthy and whole once again. You can 164 00:09:58,170 --> 00:10:02,120 Speaker 1: recover from a fall. You can become all that God's 165 00:10:02,179 --> 00:10:07,260 Speaker 1: created you to be. You are a can-do person, fully loaded, 166 00:10:07,580 --> 00:10:12,020 Speaker 1: totally equipped. But if you don't understand who you are, 167 00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:15,280 Speaker 1: then you'll never have the confidence to get out of 168 00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:18,730 Speaker 1: your comfort zone and take steps of faith. This is 169 00:10:18,790 --> 00:10:23,620 Speaker 1: imperative to fulfilling your destiny. I've learned when I make 170 00:10:23,660 --> 00:10:26,800 Speaker 1: a move, God will make a move. When I get 171 00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:29,939 Speaker 1: out of my comfort zone and stretch my faith, then 172 00:10:29,980 --> 00:10:31,810 Speaker 1: God will release more of His favor. 173 00:10:32,630 --> 00:10:35,770 Speaker 3: When I think bigger, God will act bigger. 174 00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:40,020 Speaker 1: When I believe that I can rise higher, and I 175 00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:42,320 Speaker 1: put my shoulders back, I hold my head up high, 176 00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:44,620 Speaker 1: and I walk like I'm a child of the Most 177 00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:48,230 Speaker 1: High God, that's when God shows up and shows out 178 00:10:48,550 --> 00:10:53,190 Speaker 1: in unusual ways. One time in the Scripture, when Lazarus 179 00:10:53,230 --> 00:10:57,890 Speaker 1: had died, Jesus said to the disciples,' Roll away the stone, 180 00:10:58,410 --> 00:11:02,710 Speaker 1: and I'll raise Lazarus.' It's interesting. Jesus could have rolled 181 00:11:02,770 --> 00:11:05,530 Speaker 1: away the stone. Here, he was about to raise a 182 00:11:05,590 --> 00:11:09,390 Speaker 1: dead man, but it was a principle. God expects us 183 00:11:09,770 --> 00:11:12,610 Speaker 1: to do what we can, and then he will do 184 00:11:12,650 --> 00:11:16,630 Speaker 1: what we can't. If you will do the natural, God 185 00:11:16,670 --> 00:11:19,940 Speaker 1: will do the supernatural. If you will do the ordinary, 186 00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:24,760 Speaker 1: God will do the extraordinary. But God will not do 187 00:11:24,980 --> 00:11:29,050 Speaker 1: for you what you can do for yourself. Well, you say, Joel, 188 00:11:29,170 --> 00:11:31,610 Speaker 1: I never get promoted. I never get any good breaks. 189 00:11:32,150 --> 00:11:34,630 Speaker 1: Let me ask you, are you rolling away the stone? 190 00:11:35,330 --> 00:11:37,750 Speaker 1: Do you get to work on time each day? Are 191 00:11:37,790 --> 00:11:40,810 Speaker 1: you giving it your best? Are you productive? Do you 192 00:11:40,850 --> 00:11:44,189 Speaker 1: have a good attitude? If you will do what you can, 193 00:11:44,610 --> 00:11:45,850 Speaker 1: God will do what you cannot. 194 00:11:46,550 --> 00:11:49,240 Speaker 3: Maybe you're single. You have a desire to get married. 195 00:11:49,790 --> 00:11:53,960 Speaker 1: You cannot sit at home every night watching television, praying 196 00:11:53,980 --> 00:11:54,319 Speaker 1: that Ms. 197 00:11:54,380 --> 00:11:56,260 Speaker 3: America is going to come knocking on your door. 198 00:11:57,330 --> 00:11:59,670 Speaker 1: You need to get out and meet some new friends, 199 00:12:00,370 --> 00:12:03,449 Speaker 1: go to the mall, get some new clothes, dress. 200 00:12:03,170 --> 00:12:04,890 Speaker 3: Good, look good. 201 00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:09,600 Speaker 1: You are a fully loaded person. You have a lot 202 00:12:09,660 --> 00:12:13,020 Speaker 1: to offer. When somebody gets you, they're getting a prize. 203 00:12:13,040 --> 00:12:18,350 Speaker 1: You are extremely valuable. You have the fingerprints of God 204 00:12:18,550 --> 00:12:23,110 Speaker 1: all over you. You've got to see yourself the right way. Well, 205 00:12:23,130 --> 00:12:25,790 Speaker 1: you say, Joel, I'm kind of shy. I'm kind of reserved. 206 00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:28,800 Speaker 1: So am I, but I'm standing in front of thousands 207 00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:31,970 Speaker 1: of people. Do you know how much nerve it took 208 00:12:32,010 --> 00:12:35,030 Speaker 1: me to even call Victoria and ask her out on 209 00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:38,220 Speaker 1: her first date? It took me two weeks to get 210 00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:42,000 Speaker 1: my courage up. I finally convinced myself that I am 211 00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:46,079 Speaker 1: a fully loaded person and she would be absolutely crazy 212 00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:46,979 Speaker 1: to say no to me. 213 00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:52,930 Speaker 3: I called her. She said yes, and I nearly passed out. 214 00:12:54,870 --> 00:12:57,350 Speaker 1: After 22 years of marriage, I can tell you that 215 00:12:57,730 --> 00:13:01,830 Speaker 1: Victoria is fully loaded and totally equipped. She's one of 216 00:13:01,870 --> 00:13:07,439 Speaker 1: a kind. What am I saying? You make a move 217 00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:10,580 Speaker 1: and God will make a move. You do the natural 218 00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:14,130 Speaker 1: and God will do the supernatural. Some of you tonight, 219 00:13:14,210 --> 00:13:17,690 Speaker 1: you're stuck in your comfort zone. You're a fully loaded 220 00:13:17,750 --> 00:13:21,290 Speaker 1: person using about 10% of what God has given you. 221 00:13:22,050 --> 00:13:24,460 Speaker 3: I want to stir you out of complacency. 222 00:13:25,300 --> 00:13:28,440 Speaker 1: If you're not uncomfortable every once in a while, then 223 00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:30,219 Speaker 1: you're not really using your faith. 224 00:13:31,059 --> 00:13:33,000 Speaker 3: Faith is all about stretching. 225 00:13:33,929 --> 00:13:38,350 Speaker 1: That obstacle, that challenge, that opportunity, it may look intimidating, 226 00:13:38,870 --> 00:13:40,550 Speaker 1: but God would not have presented you. 227 00:13:40,470 --> 00:13:43,510 Speaker 3: With it if he didn't already know that you have 228 00:13:43,550 --> 00:13:45,390 Speaker 3: what it takes. Dare to stretch. 229 00:13:46,490 --> 00:13:49,490 Speaker 1: I would rather try and fail every once in a 230 00:13:49,510 --> 00:13:51,880 Speaker 1: while than have to come to the end of my 231 00:13:51,910 --> 00:13:54,580 Speaker 1: life and wonder what would have happened if I'd have 232 00:13:54,620 --> 00:13:57,790 Speaker 1: taken that risk. Now a lot of people are living 233 00:13:57,929 --> 00:14:00,370 Speaker 1: in the safe zone, but I want to get you 234 00:14:00,490 --> 00:14:03,650 Speaker 1: over into the faith zone. That's where you see God 235 00:14:03,820 --> 00:14:09,319 Speaker 1: do amazing things. One time in the scripture, a city 236 00:14:09,380 --> 00:14:12,920 Speaker 1: was about to be destroyed. The angel told Lot to 237 00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:16,360 Speaker 1: go to a certain place, but Lot wasn't moving fast enough. 238 00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:21,770 Speaker 1: So the angel said, hurry Lot, I can't do anything. 239 00:14:21,630 --> 00:14:22,510 Speaker 3: Until you get there. 240 00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:25,880 Speaker 1: I believe God is saying that to each one of us. 241 00:14:26,550 --> 00:14:28,870 Speaker 1: I can't move in your life like I want to. 242 00:14:29,530 --> 00:14:33,050 Speaker 1: I can't release my favor in a greater way until 243 00:14:33,110 --> 00:14:33,710 Speaker 1: you get. 244 00:14:33,950 --> 00:14:34,970 Speaker 3: Where you're supposed to be. 245 00:14:36,050 --> 00:14:39,650 Speaker 1: It may not even be somewhere physically, but in our thoughts, 246 00:14:40,150 --> 00:14:43,920 Speaker 1: in our mind, we cannot go around with low self-esteem 247 00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:47,060 Speaker 1: thinking that we don't have what it takes. No, we 248 00:14:47,100 --> 00:14:51,040 Speaker 1: have to think like we're fully loaded. Think like you're 249 00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:55,690 Speaker 1: totally equipped. We can't have the attitude that my business 250 00:14:55,710 --> 00:14:58,590 Speaker 1: will probably never make it in this economy. Or I 251 00:14:58,630 --> 00:15:02,450 Speaker 1: lost so much in the stock market, I'll probably never recover. Joel, 252 00:15:02,510 --> 00:15:04,470 Speaker 1: I got laid off. I don't think I'll ever get 253 00:15:04,530 --> 00:15:08,530 Speaker 1: another job. No, you are a fully loaded person. 254 00:15:08,830 --> 00:15:11,790 Speaker 3: That means when one door closes, God's going to open 255 00:15:11,870 --> 00:15:12,590 Speaker 3: up another door. 256 00:15:13,310 --> 00:15:17,370 Speaker 1: That setback is not a surprise to God. He had 257 00:15:17,410 --> 00:15:21,080 Speaker 1: the solution before you even had the problem. He has 258 00:15:21,300 --> 00:15:25,580 Speaker 1: already armed you with strength for every battle. You need 259 00:15:25,620 --> 00:15:29,080 Speaker 1: to pack up and move over into faith. God is 260 00:15:29,140 --> 00:15:31,640 Speaker 1: saying to you what he said to Lot, hurry up 261 00:15:31,710 --> 00:15:34,230 Speaker 1: and get there so I can show you my favor 262 00:15:34,330 --> 00:15:35,070 Speaker 1: in a greater way. 263 00:15:35,090 --> 00:15:40,010 Speaker 3: I heard a story about a five-year-old boy. He loved 264 00:15:40,050 --> 00:15:40,650 Speaker 3: the piano. 265 00:15:41,580 --> 00:15:44,320 Speaker 1: Anytime that he got a chance, he would sit down 266 00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:47,750 Speaker 1: and piddle around. He'd never had lessons or any kind 267 00:15:47,780 --> 00:15:50,930 Speaker 1: of formal training. He was often told that he was 268 00:15:51,230 --> 00:15:54,950 Speaker 1: too small, too young to play the piano. But in 269 00:15:54,990 --> 00:15:58,650 Speaker 1: spite of those comments, he continued to practice and practice. 270 00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:02,160 Speaker 1: The only song he knew how to play was Chopsticks. 271 00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:05,580 Speaker 1: Just a very simple tune, but he played it again 272 00:16:05,740 --> 00:16:09,850 Speaker 1: and again. One day, his father surprised him. He got 273 00:16:09,910 --> 00:16:12,690 Speaker 1: tickets for them to go to the symphony and hear 274 00:16:12,730 --> 00:16:17,670 Speaker 1: this world-renowned Italian pianist. This man was one of the 275 00:16:17,730 --> 00:16:21,070 Speaker 1: greatest piano players that had ever lived. As they were 276 00:16:21,110 --> 00:16:24,010 Speaker 1: walking to their seats there in the auditorium, the little 277 00:16:24,050 --> 00:16:28,720 Speaker 1: boy saw the beautiful grand piano behind the curtain. While 278 00:16:28,780 --> 00:16:31,800 Speaker 1: no one noticed, he snuck over and sat down on 279 00:16:31,820 --> 00:16:35,270 Speaker 1: the piano bench and began to play his elementary version 280 00:16:35,370 --> 00:16:39,330 Speaker 1: of Chopsticks. About that time, the curtain began to rise. 281 00:16:40,010 --> 00:16:42,960 Speaker 1: Everyone was thinking they were going to see this world-famous 282 00:16:43,100 --> 00:16:47,260 Speaker 1: master pianist. Instead, they saw a little boy hunched over 283 00:16:47,300 --> 00:16:50,900 Speaker 1: the piano playing chopsticks. He was so caught up in 284 00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:54,560 Speaker 1: his world, he didn't know anybody was watching. When he 285 00:16:54,620 --> 00:16:58,690 Speaker 1: realized what was happening, he was petrified. Just as he 286 00:16:58,730 --> 00:17:01,010 Speaker 1: was about to get up and run for his life, 287 00:17:01,790 --> 00:17:05,710 Speaker 1: he felt two big arms reaching around him with the 288 00:17:05,750 --> 00:17:10,750 Speaker 1: hands landing on the piano keys. It was the master pianist. 289 00:17:11,310 --> 00:17:15,020 Speaker 1: He whispered in the little boy's ear, keep playing. As 290 00:17:15,060 --> 00:17:19,360 Speaker 1: the little boy continued to play his simple rendition of Chopsticks, 291 00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:25,119 Speaker 1: this world-renowned pianist began to play a Beethoven symphony piece 292 00:17:25,660 --> 00:17:28,980 Speaker 1: that was scored in the same cadence and the same key. 293 00:17:29,940 --> 00:17:33,010 Speaker 1: Under the direction of the master, he brought the rest 294 00:17:33,070 --> 00:17:36,350 Speaker 1: of the orchestra in. First, he brought in the woodwinds, 295 00:17:36,790 --> 00:17:40,630 Speaker 1: then the brass, then the percussion. The boy's father sat 296 00:17:40,670 --> 00:17:42,530 Speaker 1: there with tears coming down his cheeks. 297 00:17:43,060 --> 00:17:44,740 Speaker 3: Couldn't believe what he was hearing. 298 00:17:45,380 --> 00:17:48,540 Speaker 1: He never dreamed that simple tune that he heard in 299 00:17:48,600 --> 00:17:52,740 Speaker 1: his living room each day would no longer sound like chopsticks, 300 00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:57,490 Speaker 1: but now it would become a full, beautifully. 301 00:17:57,150 --> 00:18:02,850 Speaker 3: Orchestrated Beethoven symphony. What was the difference? The master stepped in. 302 00:18:03,750 --> 00:18:04,629 Speaker 3: And sometimes in. 303 00:18:04,650 --> 00:18:07,010 Speaker 1: Life, you may not feel like you have the talent, 304 00:18:07,630 --> 00:18:12,040 Speaker 1: the wisdom, the know-how. The good news is, God does. 305 00:18:12,750 --> 00:18:16,570 Speaker 1: When you use what you have, the master will step in. 306 00:18:17,210 --> 00:18:20,730 Speaker 1: He'll put his hands on top of your hands. He'll 307 00:18:20,770 --> 00:18:26,179 Speaker 1: take what you think is very average. Average gifts, average talent, 308 00:18:27,420 --> 00:18:31,780 Speaker 1: average ability. But when the master steps in, he'll put 309 00:18:31,980 --> 00:18:36,440 Speaker 1: his super with your natural and supernatural things will begin 310 00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:41,060 Speaker 1: to happen. Like that little boy, you'll be amazed. You'll think, 311 00:18:41,850 --> 00:18:44,630 Speaker 1: I know what I normally sound like. I know what 312 00:18:44,670 --> 00:18:47,350 Speaker 1: I'm capable of. How did I end up like this? 313 00:18:48,070 --> 00:18:52,149 Speaker 1: Here's how the master stepped in. I remember when I 314 00:18:52,210 --> 00:18:56,470 Speaker 1: first started ministering 10 years ago, my first few sermons 315 00:18:56,530 --> 00:19:00,649 Speaker 1: were so basic and so elementary. Like this little boy, 316 00:19:01,060 --> 00:19:03,540 Speaker 1: I'm sure they sounded about like chopsticks. 317 00:19:03,940 --> 00:19:05,040 Speaker 3: And don't you say amen. 318 00:19:06,890 --> 00:19:09,950 Speaker 1: I had never really ministered before, but I was doing 319 00:19:09,990 --> 00:19:13,490 Speaker 1: the best that I could using what God had given me. 320 00:19:14,190 --> 00:19:18,020 Speaker 1: The negative thoughts bombarded my mind saying, Joel, you. 321 00:19:17,940 --> 00:19:21,320 Speaker 3: Don't have what it takes. You're not a minister. You're 322 00:19:21,340 --> 00:19:22,800 Speaker 3: too shy. You're too quiet. 323 00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:26,290 Speaker 1: You better stay in your safe zone. I had to 324 00:19:26,350 --> 00:19:30,220 Speaker 1: keep shaking those thoughts off and reminded myself that I 325 00:19:30,300 --> 00:19:31,880 Speaker 1: am a fully loaded person. 326 00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:35,720 Speaker 3: I'm anointed. I'm equipped. I'm talented. I can do all 327 00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:41,290 Speaker 3: things through Christ. What happened? The master stepped in. God 328 00:19:41,330 --> 00:19:43,510 Speaker 3: put his hands on my hands. 329 00:19:44,130 --> 00:19:48,170 Speaker 1: He put his voice in my voice. I discovered talent 330 00:19:48,250 --> 00:19:49,980 Speaker 1: in me that I didn't even know I had. 331 00:19:50,100 --> 00:19:50,379 Speaker 3: Had. 332 00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:53,200 Speaker 1: If you would have told me 10 years ago that 333 00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:56,969 Speaker 1: one day I'd be ministering in Yankee Stadium, I would 334 00:19:56,990 --> 00:19:59,869 Speaker 1: have said, yeah, right. And you can land an airplane 335 00:20:00,250 --> 00:20:10,660 Speaker 1: safely in the Hudson River. Friends, When the master steps in, supernatural. 336 00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:11,080 Speaker 3: Things are going to happen. 337 00:20:11,980 --> 00:20:14,780 Speaker 1: Some of you think that you could never accomplish your dreams. 338 00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:18,560 Speaker 1: You think you don't have the talent, the resources, the connections. 339 00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:22,909 Speaker 1: You may not, but know this, God does. And as 340 00:20:22,950 --> 00:20:26,570 Speaker 1: you take steps towards your destiny, God is going to 341 00:20:26,609 --> 00:20:30,250 Speaker 1: show up. You have to put a demand on your faith. 342 00:20:31,030 --> 00:20:33,690 Speaker 1: If you play it safe all the time, you'll never 343 00:20:33,820 --> 00:20:37,399 Speaker 1: really know what's on the inside. And I believe in 344 00:20:37,420 --> 00:20:41,290 Speaker 1: the coming days, as you stretch your faith, you're going 345 00:20:41,330 --> 00:20:44,510 Speaker 1: to see the master step in. You're going to have 346 00:20:44,550 --> 00:20:47,450 Speaker 1: a courage to do things that you wouldn't do before. 347 00:20:48,290 --> 00:20:50,910 Speaker 1: You're going to discover an ability that you didn't even 348 00:20:50,950 --> 00:20:54,090 Speaker 1: know was in you. God is going to take your 349 00:20:54,170 --> 00:20:57,909 Speaker 1: natural and mix his super with it. And instead of 350 00:20:57,950 --> 00:21:01,429 Speaker 1: just playing chopsticks like the little boy, God's going to 351 00:21:01,470 --> 00:21:04,810 Speaker 1: bring in the percussion. That means you're going to get 352 00:21:04,890 --> 00:21:08,430 Speaker 1: supernatural breaks. Just when you thought it couldn't get any better, 353 00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:11,139 Speaker 1: God's going to bring in the brass. That is the 354 00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:16,460 Speaker 1: right people. Then the woodwinds, that's the right opportunity. Before long, 355 00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:19,359 Speaker 1: you're going to be hitting on all cylinders. It's going 356 00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:23,460 Speaker 1: to sound like a beautiful orchestra. That buried treasure is 357 00:21:23,500 --> 00:21:26,150 Speaker 1: going to come out. You're going to know like I know. 358 00:21:26,590 --> 00:21:29,390 Speaker 1: This is not just my talent. This is not just 359 00:21:29,450 --> 00:21:30,190 Speaker 1: my ability. 360 00:21:30,690 --> 00:21:32,869 Speaker 3: This is the master joining in. 361 00:21:33,270 --> 00:21:37,280 Speaker 1: This is God taking my ordinary and making it extraordinary. 362 00:21:38,510 --> 00:21:41,490 Speaker 1: I read a story about a police officer. She patrolled 363 00:21:41,530 --> 00:21:45,190 Speaker 1: a very rough area of town. She always had a 364 00:21:45,230 --> 00:21:49,180 Speaker 1: desire to help children learn how to read. In fact, 365 00:21:49,380 --> 00:21:52,419 Speaker 1: she was the oldest of 12 children. She was the 366 00:21:52,580 --> 00:21:54,959 Speaker 1: one that taught all of her brothers and sisters how 367 00:21:54,980 --> 00:21:58,460 Speaker 1: to read. When she would get called to these troubled homes, 368 00:21:59,020 --> 00:22:01,820 Speaker 1: so often she would notice how there were never any 369 00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:05,180 Speaker 1: children's books, nothing for the kids to read, and this 370 00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:06,140 Speaker 1: just broke her heart. 371 00:22:06,940 --> 00:22:09,380 Speaker 3: She wanted to do something about it, but what could 372 00:22:09,460 --> 00:22:11,660 Speaker 3: she do? She had limited resources. 373 00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:15,320 Speaker 1: But instead of giving up and thinking it would never happen, 374 00:22:15,740 --> 00:22:19,580 Speaker 1: she just kept hoping, kept praying, kept believing. One night, 375 00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:23,889 Speaker 1: she answered a false alarm at this huge warehouse. When 376 00:22:23,930 --> 00:22:27,879 Speaker 1: she flipped the lights on, she saw thousands of children's 377 00:22:27,940 --> 00:22:31,600 Speaker 1: books just waiting to be destroyed. They were brand new, 378 00:22:31,660 --> 00:22:34,040 Speaker 1: but they had a little imperfection and they were going 379 00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:37,479 Speaker 1: to be discarded. She said, when I saw those books, 380 00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:40,740 Speaker 1: I knew they were mine. She asked the owner right 381 00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:43,420 Speaker 1: then and there if she could have them. He said, fine, 382 00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:47,730 Speaker 1: they're all yours. That night, dropped into her hands were 383 00:22:47,830 --> 00:22:53,500 Speaker 1: over 10,000 brand new children's books. One Saturday afternoon, she 384 00:22:53,540 --> 00:22:57,560 Speaker 1: and the other officers went through the low-income neighborhoods, passed 385 00:22:57,619 --> 00:23:01,379 Speaker 1: out every single book. Now, when she patrols her area, 386 00:23:01,859 --> 00:23:05,419 Speaker 1: she constantly sees kids sitting on the sidewalk, sitting on 387 00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:08,020 Speaker 1: the front porch, reading these children's books. 388 00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:10,959 Speaker 3: What happened? The master stepped in. 389 00:23:11,700 --> 00:23:14,400 Speaker 1: God made a way where it looked like there was 390 00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:19,230 Speaker 1: no way. The scripture says that no good thing will 391 00:23:19,250 --> 00:23:23,570 Speaker 1: God withhold when you walk uprightly. That means as you 392 00:23:23,609 --> 00:23:27,150 Speaker 1: live a life of excellence and integrity, a life that's 393 00:23:27,250 --> 00:23:29,990 Speaker 1: pleasing to the Lord, God is going to bring your 394 00:23:30,060 --> 00:23:33,320 Speaker 1: dreams to pass. He's going to cause you to be 395 00:23:33,340 --> 00:23:35,939 Speaker 1: at the right place at the right time. You're going 396 00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:39,320 Speaker 1: to find yourself even stumbling into God's blessings. 397 00:23:40,300 --> 00:23:45,219 Speaker 3: Dare to dream big. Think big. Believe big. You are 398 00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:48,830 Speaker 3: a fully loaded person. You are totally equipped. 399 00:23:49,530 --> 00:23:52,570 Speaker 1: Like this lady, you may not have the resources right now, 400 00:23:53,130 --> 00:23:53,970 Speaker 1: but that's okay. 401 00:23:54,290 --> 00:23:54,889 Speaker 3: God does. 402 00:23:55,430 --> 00:23:59,120 Speaker 1: And as you take steps towards your divine destiny, God 403 00:23:59,150 --> 00:24:02,139 Speaker 1: is going to release more of His favor. Don't be 404 00:24:02,180 --> 00:24:06,420 Speaker 1: surprised when things fall into place. That's not a lucky break. 405 00:24:06,830 --> 00:24:11,090 Speaker 1: That's not a coincidence. That's the master stepping in. Don't 406 00:24:11,130 --> 00:24:15,120 Speaker 1: be surprised when you have wisdom beyond your years, when 407 00:24:15,140 --> 00:24:18,320 Speaker 1: you get breaks you didn't deserve, when you accomplish more 408 00:24:18,380 --> 00:24:22,520 Speaker 1: than you thought possible. That's God putting his hand on 409 00:24:22,580 --> 00:24:25,260 Speaker 1: your hands. That's the master. 410 00:24:24,900 --> 00:24:26,379 Speaker 3: Breathing in your direction. 411 00:24:27,770 --> 00:24:30,530 Speaker 1: We have a friend that told a story about her mother-in-law, 412 00:24:31,270 --> 00:24:34,590 Speaker 1: As a little girl, this mother-in-law always had a desire 413 00:24:34,670 --> 00:24:37,970 Speaker 1: to sing. Her dream was to one day become an 414 00:24:38,140 --> 00:24:42,780 Speaker 1: opera singer. She was extremely talented. All through junior high 415 00:24:42,820 --> 00:24:45,540 Speaker 1: and high school, she was the one chosen to play 416 00:24:45,580 --> 00:24:48,550 Speaker 1: the lead in the class plays. But when it came 417 00:24:48,630 --> 00:24:52,490 Speaker 1: time for college, her parents said, you'll never make a 418 00:24:52,530 --> 00:24:54,810 Speaker 1: living as an opera singer. That's not a good idea. 419 00:24:54,869 --> 00:24:57,389 Speaker 1: You need to get a normal degree. They kind of 420 00:24:57,410 --> 00:24:59,750 Speaker 1: talked her out of what she felt in her heart. 421 00:25:00,230 --> 00:25:02,550 Speaker 1: She went on and got her degree and lived a 422 00:25:02,590 --> 00:25:06,210 Speaker 1: happy and a blessed life. When she was 90 years old, 423 00:25:06,670 --> 00:25:09,730 Speaker 1: she was living in a senior citizen's home. Her husband 424 00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:11,919 Speaker 1: had gone to be with the Lord and her mind 425 00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:12,520 Speaker 1: was not as. 426 00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:15,899 Speaker 3: Sharp as it should be. She suffered a little from dementia. 427 00:25:16,580 --> 00:25:20,300 Speaker 1: But what's interesting is every day in the senior's home, 428 00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:23,540 Speaker 1: She would stand in front of all the people and 429 00:25:23,700 --> 00:25:27,880 Speaker 1: sing the most beautiful opera you could ever imagine. She 430 00:25:27,940 --> 00:25:31,300 Speaker 1: sounded like an angel. In fact, people came from all 431 00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:34,340 Speaker 1: over just to hear this 90-year-old woman sing. 432 00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:35,580 Speaker 3: What was that? 433 00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:40,560 Speaker 1: She had buried treasure on the inside. Her gift had 434 00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:43,830 Speaker 1: been pushed down for nearly 90 years, but it was 435 00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:48,560 Speaker 1: still alive, just waiting to be released. My challenge to 436 00:25:48,619 --> 00:25:52,200 Speaker 1: you is don't die with the music still in you. 437 00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:56,240 Speaker 1: Share your gift with this world. You can go further 438 00:25:56,280 --> 00:26:00,300 Speaker 1: than you think. You can accomplish more than you've accomplished. 439 00:26:01,290 --> 00:26:05,200 Speaker 1: No matter what you've gone through, no matter how long 440 00:26:05,270 --> 00:26:10,110 Speaker 1: it's been, your seeds of greatness are still alive and well. 441 00:26:10,510 --> 00:26:14,230 Speaker 1: You can still become everything that God has created you 442 00:26:14,270 --> 00:26:17,679 Speaker 1: to be. My prayer for each one of you is 443 00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:21,460 Speaker 1: that before you leave this earth, all of your potential 444 00:26:21,580 --> 00:26:25,740 Speaker 1: will be released. Not one dream, not one gift, not 445 00:26:25,859 --> 00:26:30,440 Speaker 1: one promise, not one God-given desire will go left unfulfilled. 446 00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:34,530 Speaker 1: I'm calling back those seeds that you've let go of, 447 00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:37,750 Speaker 1: those family members you've given up on, those dreams you 448 00:26:37,790 --> 00:26:41,950 Speaker 1: pushed aside. I'm calling them back tonight. Some of you, 449 00:26:42,210 --> 00:26:45,330 Speaker 1: you don't realize it, but you can't die yet. You've 450 00:26:45,350 --> 00:26:48,949 Speaker 1: got too much left in you. You've got too much potential. 451 00:26:49,330 --> 00:26:51,740 Speaker 1: God is not going to let that go to waste. 452 00:26:52,619 --> 00:26:55,500 Speaker 1: You might as well put up that rocking chair. It's 453 00:26:55,540 --> 00:26:59,020 Speaker 1: not time to retire. It's time to refire. 454 00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:02,020 Speaker 3: You need to get ready. God is going to give. 455 00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:06,490 Speaker 1: You new opportunities and more time to share your gift 456 00:27:06,530 --> 00:27:11,840 Speaker 1: with the world. I recently read about a 93-year-old woman 457 00:27:12,100 --> 00:27:15,179 Speaker 1: that just graduated from college. If she can do it 458 00:27:15,220 --> 00:27:18,330 Speaker 1: at 93, you and I can do it at 20, 459 00:27:18,330 --> 00:27:20,730 Speaker 1: at 40, at 60, at 80. 460 00:27:20,730 --> 00:27:21,830 Speaker 3: Get your fire back. 461 00:27:22,710 --> 00:27:25,969 Speaker 1: The moment you quit planning for your future is the 462 00:27:25,990 --> 00:27:29,550 Speaker 1: moment you quit living. The day you quit being excited 463 00:27:29,609 --> 00:27:32,290 Speaker 1: about what God has in store is the day you 464 00:27:32,330 --> 00:27:36,149 Speaker 1: went from living to just breathing. You need to have 465 00:27:36,330 --> 00:27:39,389 Speaker 1: the right attitude, have the right vision. 466 00:27:39,030 --> 00:27:43,890 Speaker 3: For your life. You are a fully loaded person, totally equipped. 467 00:27:44,630 --> 00:27:47,879 Speaker 1: And if you will learn to stretch your faith, refuse 468 00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:50,620 Speaker 1: to die with the music still in you, here's what's 469 00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:53,840 Speaker 1: going to happen. The master's going to step in. That 470 00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:56,620 Speaker 1: means you're going to get breaks that you didn't deserve. 471 00:27:57,200 --> 00:28:01,100 Speaker 1: You're going to overcome obstacles that looked insurmountable. You're going 472 00:28:01,119 --> 00:28:04,620 Speaker 1: to accomplish more than you ever thought possible. When you 473 00:28:04,660 --> 00:28:06,780 Speaker 1: come to the end, you'll be able to say, I 474 00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:11,270 Speaker 1: finished my course. I've spent all my potential. I've released 475 00:28:11,390 --> 00:28:15,990 Speaker 1: all my gifts. I've fulfilled my God-given destiny. Amen. 476 00:28:16,030 --> 00:28:17,189 Speaker 3: Do you receive that tonight? 477 00:28:26,369 --> 00:28:27,709 Speaker 1: If you want to know what you're going to be 478 00:28:27,770 --> 00:28:31,200 Speaker 1: like in five years, listen to what you're saying about yourself. 479 00:28:31,580 --> 00:28:34,520 Speaker 1: You are prophesying your future.

You'll learn how to use 483 00:28:44,250 --> 00:28:47,510 Speaker 1: your words not to describe the situation, but to change 484 00:28:47,570 --> 00:28:51,790 Speaker 1: the situation.
