I 8 00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:27,600 Speaker 1: promise you we'll make you feel right at home. I 9 00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:30,200 Speaker 1: like to start with something funny, and I heard about 10 00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:33,440 Speaker 1: this husband and wife. They'd been arguing for a long 11 00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:36,879 Speaker 1: time about who should make the coffee in the morning. 12 00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:39,800 Speaker 1: The husband thought it was the wife's job, but she 13 00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:44,720 Speaker 1: just didn't agree. After several heated debates, she finally told 14 00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:47,480 Speaker 1: him I can prove it to you from the Bible 15 00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:51,280 Speaker 1: that it's the men's job to make the coffee. He said, 16 00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:54,040 Speaker 1: what are you talking about. Nothing in the Bible about 17 00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:56,639 Speaker 1: the man making the coffee. She said, sure, there is. 18 00:00:56,960 --> 00:00:59,480 Speaker 1: She opened her Bible and pointed to the Book of 19 00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:04,600 Speaker 1: he Bruise. Say it like you mean it. This is 20 00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:07,640 Speaker 1: my Bible. I am what it says, I am, I 21 00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:10,120 Speaker 1: have what it says I have. I can do what 22 00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:13,080 Speaker 1: it says I can do. Today I will be taught 23 00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:17,280 Speaker 1: the word of God. I'll boldly confess my mind is alert, 24 00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:20,560 Speaker 1: my heart is receptive. I will never be the same. 25 00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:25,360 Speaker 1: In Jesus' name, God bless you. I want to talk 26 00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:29,320 Speaker 1: to you today about the power of the soil. You 27 00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:33,160 Speaker 1: can have a good seed that's healthy and strong, it's 28 00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:36,920 Speaker 1: full of potential, but if it's not planted in good soil, 29 00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:40,200 Speaker 1: it's not going to become what it was created to be. 30 00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:44,720 Speaker 1: The problem is not with the seed. A scientist could 31 00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:48,360 Speaker 1: study the seed run test. They would find that is 32 00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:51,240 Speaker 1: full of life. If it's an apple seed, it has 33 00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:53,960 Speaker 1: apples in it. If it's a rose bush, it has 34 00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:57,840 Speaker 1: blossoms in it. But if it's planted in soil that's 35 00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:01,640 Speaker 1: full of rocks, weeds, and thorns, it may grow some, 36 00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:05,400 Speaker 1: but it's not going to produce what it should. It 37 00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:09,000 Speaker 1: may survive, but it's not going to be healthy. It's 38 00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:12,960 Speaker 1: the same principle in life. You're a seed. You are 39 00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:17,960 Speaker 1: full of gifts, talents, potential, But if you plant yourself 40 00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:22,960 Speaker 1: in unhealthy soil, if you hang around friends that compromise 41 00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:26,280 Speaker 1: and pull you down, if you're in an environment that's 42 00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:29,600 Speaker 1: limited with people that tell you what you can't become, 43 00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:34,440 Speaker 1: you won't see the growth that you should not because 44 00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:38,160 Speaker 1: there's something wrong with your seed. You're made in the 45 00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:42,920 Speaker 1: image of God. The problem is with the soil. The rocks, 46 00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:46,280 Speaker 1: the thorns, the weeds are choking to life out of 47 00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:50,200 Speaker 1: your seed. Jesus told a parable about a man that 48 00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:53,520 Speaker 1: sowed seed on good ground, and it produced a great 49 00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:58,280 Speaker 1: harvest many crops. Another sowed seed on rocky ground, didn't 50 00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:02,800 Speaker 1: produce too much, sowed it on ground where the weeds 51 00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:07,160 Speaker 1: and the thorns kept the seed from growing. All the 52 00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:12,080 Speaker 1: same seed. What made the difference was the soil. The 53 00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:16,239 Speaker 1: thorns are things like friends that keep causing you to compromise. 54 00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:20,000 Speaker 1: The weeds are those co workers that sit around in 55 00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:24,360 Speaker 1: gossip all day. The rocks are those family members that 56 00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:27,799 Speaker 1: tell you how you can't break that addiction. If you 57 00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:32,800 Speaker 1: hang around negative people, they're choking out your seed. Those 58 00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:36,160 Speaker 1: friends you're tempted to party with, they may be fond, 59 00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:40,000 Speaker 1: they're popular, but what you can't see is there a weed. 60 00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:45,080 Speaker 1: They're keeping you from flourishing. The environment you put yourself 61 00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:50,160 Speaker 1: in is extremely important, no matter how good the seed is. 62 00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:55,000 Speaker 1: It's dependent on having good soil. You have to be 63 00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:59,680 Speaker 1: selective with whom you give your time, energy, and attention. 64 00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:04,840 Speaker 1: Because people are contagious, You're going to catch what they have. 65 00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:10,000 Speaker 1: If your friends are prejudiced, you're going to become prejudice. 66 00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:13,880 Speaker 1: If your friends have limited thinking, they don't have any goals, 67 00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:18,479 Speaker 1: no motivation, That narrow minded mentality is going to rub 68 00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:22,440 Speaker 1: off on you. You're going to become like the people 69 00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:27,400 Speaker 1: you continually associate with. Don't hang around people that don't 70 00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:30,960 Speaker 1: have anything you want. If they're not making you better, 71 00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:35,120 Speaker 1: if they're not inspiring you causing you to grow, then 72 00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:37,360 Speaker 1: you need to make some changes. You need to pull 73 00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:42,240 Speaker 1: up those weeds. Quit hanging around thorny friends. People that 74 00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:44,800 Speaker 1: bring out the worst in you, talk you out of 75 00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:50,760 Speaker 1: your dreams, cause you to compromise. Their negativity is contaminating 76 00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:55,080 Speaker 1: your soil. Your destiny is too great to waste it 77 00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:59,720 Speaker 1: with people that are not adding value to your life, Joel, 78 00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:03,000 Speaker 1: what if I hurt their feelings? What if you miss 79 00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:06,440 Speaker 1: your destiny? What if they choke out your seeds? What 80 00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:10,240 Speaker 1: if they keep you from blossoming. I've heard it said 81 00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:14,560 Speaker 1: it's not enough to just focus on self development. You 82 00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:18,760 Speaker 1: have to focus on soil development, on what's around you, 83 00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:23,159 Speaker 1: on what's influencing you, on what you're spending time and 84 00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:27,400 Speaker 1: attention with. Are you putting your seed in good soil 85 00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:31,600 Speaker 1: or is it being contaminated by what you watch, by 86 00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:34,640 Speaker 1: what you think about, by who you're spending time with. 87 00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:39,200 Speaker 1: What you're unwilling to walk away from is where you'll 88 00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:43,039 Speaker 1: stop growing. If you know a person is pulling you down, 89 00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:46,240 Speaker 1: but you won't make a change, then you'll get stuck 90 00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:50,280 Speaker 1: where you are. Your seed can't grow in bad soil. 91 00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:54,159 Speaker 1: If you don't get rid of the wrong people, you'll 92 00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:57,880 Speaker 1: never meet the right people. Here's the key. God will 93 00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:01,760 Speaker 1: never ask us to give something up without giving us 94 00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:04,920 Speaker 1: more back in return. And sure you may go through 95 00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:08,159 Speaker 1: a season of being lonely, but what will happen is 96 00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:11,800 Speaker 1: God will give you new friends, better friends, people that 97 00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:16,080 Speaker 1: push you up instead of pulling you down. In the scripture, 98 00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:20,520 Speaker 1: God told Abraham to leave his country, leave his relatives, 99 00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:24,839 Speaker 1: and go to a new land. Abraham left He headed out, 100 00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:28,039 Speaker 1: but he took his nephew Lot with him. He was 101 00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:33,120 Speaker 1: only supposed to take his immediate family. Before long, Abraham 102 00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:37,000 Speaker 1: and Lot had a disagreement. There was strife and arguing 103 00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:40,800 Speaker 1: between their herdsmen. Then Lot moved to a different place 104 00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:45,280 Speaker 1: and got in trouble. Abraham felt responsible, so he had 105 00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:48,440 Speaker 1: to go rescue him. He spent all this time and 106 00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:52,400 Speaker 1: energy involved in a problem that he should have never 107 00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:55,520 Speaker 1: had if he would have left Lot in the first place. 108 00:06:56,720 --> 00:07:00,679 Speaker 1: Some of the challenges we face are because we didn't 109 00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:05,480 Speaker 1: leave who God told us to leave. What's interesting is 110 00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:11,040 Speaker 1: the name Lot means veil or covering. When you leave Lot, 111 00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:14,080 Speaker 1: when you leave what you know you're supposed to leave, 112 00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:17,400 Speaker 1: the veil will come off. You will see things you've 113 00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:22,360 Speaker 1: never seen, new friendships, new opportunities, new talents, new levels. 114 00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:26,360 Speaker 1: Are you holding on to what God asked you to 115 00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:31,200 Speaker 1: let go of? Someone? Something that's pulling you down, keeping 116 00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:35,200 Speaker 1: you from your best Your seed can't flourish in a 117 00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:39,440 Speaker 1: negative environment. That's keeping you from growing. And when I 118 00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:41,880 Speaker 1: say leave, I don't mean you have to go make 119 00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:46,240 Speaker 1: a big announcement. Hey, you're contaminating me. I'm done with you. 120 00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:51,480 Speaker 1: I simply mean little by little, start spending less and 121 00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:55,160 Speaker 1: less time with them. If you have a bunch of weeds, 122 00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:59,640 Speaker 1: it's choking out your dreams, your vision, your character. At 123 00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:03,239 Speaker 1: the alle that person you eat lunch with that's always 124 00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:07,960 Speaker 1: complaining about the boss, jealous of coworkers, mad at their spouse. 125 00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:12,720 Speaker 1: I say this respectfully. They're a weed. They are contaminating 126 00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:17,080 Speaker 1: your soil. They're keeping you from flourishing. And yes, they're 127 00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:20,680 Speaker 1: made in the image of God. They can change, but 128 00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:25,360 Speaker 1: until they do, you shouldn't let them pollute you. I'm 129 00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:30,120 Speaker 1: nice to everyone, but I don't spend my time with everyone. 130 00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:34,920 Speaker 1: I'm selective about who I allow in my life. I 131 00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:40,280 Speaker 1: don't spend time with negative, critical, jealous, small minded. Can't 132 00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:44,720 Speaker 1: do it bitter people. I value what God has given 133 00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:48,360 Speaker 1: me too much to put my seed in bad soil. 134 00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:53,400 Speaker 1: We have a responsibility. God has given you a gift. 135 00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:56,960 Speaker 1: He could have created anyone to be alive at this 136 00:08:57,120 --> 00:09:01,360 Speaker 1: day and time, but He chose you. Your seed is full 137 00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:05,800 Speaker 1: of potential. Your seed has greatness in it. Your seed 138 00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:09,000 Speaker 1: can set a new standard for your family. Your seed 139 00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:13,360 Speaker 1: can break generational curses. What God has given you is 140 00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:18,040 Speaker 1: extremely valuable. Now do your part. Keep your seed in 141 00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:21,880 Speaker 1: good soil. I have a row of bushes around my house, 142 00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:25,640 Speaker 1: and for years they've been healthy and green, just as 143 00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:29,840 Speaker 1: lush as can be. But several months ago, we noticed 144 00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:33,000 Speaker 1: a few of them, all next to each other, started 145 00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:35,520 Speaker 1: to look like something was wrong. They were a little 146 00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:38,320 Speaker 1: shriveled up and not as green as they should be. 147 00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:41,760 Speaker 1: A couple of weeks later, they were all dead, about 148 00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:45,000 Speaker 1: fifteen feet out of a long row of bushes. The 149 00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:48,520 Speaker 1: landscaper came out. First thing he said was let me 150 00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:52,000 Speaker 1: check the soil. He ran some test and found that 151 00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:55,720 Speaker 1: the soil in that area had become contaminated. We had 152 00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:58,080 Speaker 1: to dig it out and replace it, and now the 153 00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:02,000 Speaker 1: new plants are just as healthy as others. Sometimes we 154 00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:05,680 Speaker 1: wonder why we feel kind of like we're shriveled and 155 00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:08,960 Speaker 1: we're not growing. God, why aren't you doing anything? Check 156 00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:13,880 Speaker 1: your soil? Has it become contaminated? Who you're spending time with? 157 00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:17,840 Speaker 1: What are you giving your attention to. You can't watch 158 00:10:17,880 --> 00:10:21,920 Speaker 1: the news all day and live a positive, faith filled life. 159 00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:26,320 Speaker 1: After about twenty minutes, you'll be depressed. Pay attention to 160 00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:30,240 Speaker 1: your environment. What are you taking in all day? A 161 00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:33,840 Speaker 1: man told me how he drove an hour each way 162 00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:38,199 Speaker 1: to work for twenty years listening to talk radio. It 163 00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:42,720 Speaker 1: was a political station where they're debating politics, people arguing, 164 00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:47,440 Speaker 1: being disrespectful and he would get so wrought up, so mad. 165 00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:50,480 Speaker 1: By the time he got to work, he was sour. 166 00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:54,239 Speaker 1: Nobody wanted to be around him. He didn't even like himself. 167 00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:58,280 Speaker 1: He had turned into a bitter, angry man. One day 168 00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:01,679 Speaker 1: he was flipping through the channels and came across our 169 00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:06,560 Speaker 1: serious exem station. He heard me speaking and couldn't turn 170 00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:10,439 Speaker 1: it off. That was over a year ago. He said, Joel, 171 00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:15,320 Speaker 1: I'm a different person. I'm happy, I'm friendly. People even 172 00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:19,359 Speaker 1: ask me what happened to you? What was the problem 173 00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:24,440 Speaker 1: all those years his soil, that negativity was choking out 174 00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:29,320 Speaker 1: his joy, his faith, his victory. We have enough negative 175 00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:33,160 Speaker 1: things in life that we have no control over. Be 176 00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:38,360 Speaker 1: selective about what you do have control over. Driving to work, 177 00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:43,400 Speaker 1: put on something uplifting music that inspires you. Listen to 178 00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:46,920 Speaker 1: a message that builds your faith. Keep your seed in 179 00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:51,520 Speaker 1: good soil at home. Don't leave the television on all day, 180 00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:55,920 Speaker 1: chatter noise in the background. That's your soil. This is 181 00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:59,560 Speaker 1: the reason some people aren't growing. They're talented, they have 182 00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:03,760 Speaker 1: potenti but their soil has become contaminated. You have to 183 00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:08,080 Speaker 1: protect your seed. I know a professional football player that 184 00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:11,320 Speaker 1: was diagnosed with cancer it only been in the league 185 00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:14,760 Speaker 1: a couple years. His dream came true. Then he was 186 00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:18,480 Speaker 1: hit with this diagnosis. He didn't fall apart, he didn't 187 00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:21,880 Speaker 1: get bitter. He still lives at home. He told his 188 00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:25,840 Speaker 1: mother that he didn't want anyone using the word cancer 189 00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:28,680 Speaker 1: in his house. He didn't want that word down in 190 00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:33,160 Speaker 1: his spirit. He knew if he was in a depressed environment, 191 00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:37,080 Speaker 1: I feel sorry for me, you may not make it. Atmosphere, 192 00:12:37,240 --> 00:12:41,240 Speaker 1: he wouldn't get well. His attitude was, I am healed, 193 00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:45,320 Speaker 1: I am whole. I will play football again. I will 194 00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:48,840 Speaker 1: fulfill my destiny. God is bigger than what I'm facing. 195 00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:53,959 Speaker 1: What was he doing creating an environment a victory? He 196 00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:57,880 Speaker 1: was keeping his seed in good soil. Two years later 197 00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:01,760 Speaker 1: he was back in the league. When you face difficulties 198 00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:05,440 Speaker 1: more than ever, you need to keep your mind filled 199 00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:09,200 Speaker 1: with thoughts of faith. You need to surround yourself with 200 00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:13,679 Speaker 1: people that speak hope and life, people that will agree 201 00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:16,760 Speaker 1: with what you're believing for you can't afford to have 202 00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:20,800 Speaker 1: people that are negative, discouraged, telling you how you may 203 00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:23,240 Speaker 1: not make it. And I don't know my grandmother died 204 00:13:23,280 --> 00:13:26,320 Speaker 1: of that same thing. Do yourself a favor. Stay away 205 00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:29,520 Speaker 1: from people like that. Don't let them pollute your soil. 206 00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:33,199 Speaker 1: One time, Jesus went to pray for a little girl 207 00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:35,840 Speaker 1: that had died, and when you arrived at the house, 208 00:13:36,040 --> 00:13:40,000 Speaker 1: everyone was weeping and so upset. He told them that 209 00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:43,680 Speaker 1: she wasn't dead, she was just asleep. They begin to 210 00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:47,840 Speaker 1: laugh and make fun. Jesus asked them all to leave 211 00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:51,760 Speaker 1: the room. Only one that stayed were Peter, James and John. 212 00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:54,280 Speaker 1: He spoke to the little girl and she was healed. 213 00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:58,400 Speaker 1: Why did Jesus make them leave? He could have healed 214 00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:02,120 Speaker 1: her in front of everyone. God, he was showing us 215 00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:07,120 Speaker 1: the importance of having the right environment. People, if you 216 00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:11,000 Speaker 1: allow them, can talk you out of your dreams. Their 217 00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:14,800 Speaker 1: doubt and negativity can rub off on you. You have 218 00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:18,560 Speaker 1: to set some boundaries. I love you, but I'm not 219 00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:21,640 Speaker 1: going to let you poison me. I have a destiny 220 00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:25,600 Speaker 1: to fulfilled. I'm going to love you from outside the room. 221 00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:29,440 Speaker 1: This is what happened with the Israelites. Moses sent twelve 222 00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:33,000 Speaker 1: men to spy out the promised land. Ten came back 223 00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:36,440 Speaker 1: and said, Moses, we don't have a chance. There are 224 00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:40,720 Speaker 1: giants in the land. Compared to them, we felt like grasshoppers. 225 00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:45,800 Speaker 1: The other two spies. Joshua and Caleb had a different report. 226 00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:49,240 Speaker 1: They said, Moses, we are well able. Let us go 227 00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:53,120 Speaker 1: in at once and take this land. But the negative 228 00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:57,760 Speaker 1: report from the majority from the ten spies began to 229 00:14:57,800 --> 00:15:01,920 Speaker 1: spread throughout the whole camp. Before long, all two million 230 00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:07,320 Speaker 1: Israelites were discouraged, complaining, saying, Moses, let's go back to Egypt. 231 00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:11,040 Speaker 1: Let's just go back to being slaves. God had promised 232 00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:14,360 Speaker 1: them the victory, but they never did make it in 233 00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:19,520 Speaker 1: because their soil was contaminated. That seed couldn't grow in 234 00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:24,480 Speaker 1: that negative environment. The people you surround yourself with are 235 00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:29,480 Speaker 1: extremely important. Don't hang around, can't do it. People not 236 00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:33,080 Speaker 1: able to people. Yes, I know God promised you, but 237 00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:36,200 Speaker 1: I don't see how you can get well, how you 238 00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:38,800 Speaker 1: can meet the right person, how you'll break that addiction. 239 00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:44,040 Speaker 1: Stay away from people like that, Find Joshua, find Caleb. 240 00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:48,000 Speaker 1: Not people that will throw water on your flame, but 241 00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:52,000 Speaker 1: people that will fan your flame, people that will join 242 00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:55,440 Speaker 1: their faith with yours and say, hey, if you believe, 243 00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:59,520 Speaker 1: count me in, I'm going to believe with you. When 244 00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:02,840 Speaker 1: Henry Ford had a dream to make a car with 245 00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:07,040 Speaker 1: an engine, he started developing it, but everyone told him 246 00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:10,400 Speaker 1: it wouldn't work, that it wasn't a good idea. He 247 00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:14,120 Speaker 1: was about to stop when Thomas Edison came to see him. 248 00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:18,160 Speaker 1: They had never met. They introduced mister Ford as the 249 00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:22,000 Speaker 1: man trying to build a car that would run on gasoline. 250 00:16:22,160 --> 00:16:24,960 Speaker 1: Edison's eyes got big. He hit his fist on the 251 00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:28,040 Speaker 1: table and said, you've got it. A car that has 252 00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:32,800 Speaker 1: its own power plant. That's a brilliant idea. Henry Ford 253 00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:37,320 Speaker 1: would tell how that conversation and that friendship is what 254 00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:40,680 Speaker 1: kept him going. None of us would be driving a 255 00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:45,520 Speaker 1: Ford if he had not found that good soil. The critics, 256 00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:49,560 Speaker 1: the naysayers are a dime a dozen. Ten of the 257 00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:55,240 Speaker 1: twelve spies were negative. That's about average. Eighty percent will 258 00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:58,200 Speaker 1: tell you what you can't do. You have to find 259 00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:01,160 Speaker 1: the twenty percent that will tell you what you can do. 260 00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:07,400 Speaker 1: The majority, most of the time, won't see what you see. 261 00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:10,560 Speaker 1: They won't encourage you. You have to find the minority. 262 00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:14,280 Speaker 1: And I believe that one reason I'm seeing God's favor 263 00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:17,680 Speaker 1: is because I've been in good soil, and a lot 264 00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:20,840 Speaker 1: of it I can't take credit for was in anything 265 00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:24,320 Speaker 1: I did. It was simply the goodness of God. I 266 00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:27,639 Speaker 1: was raised by parents that always told me what I 267 00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:32,240 Speaker 1: could become in a loving, faith filled environment. I saw 268 00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:36,080 Speaker 1: my father believe for big things, break barriers that he 269 00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:39,280 Speaker 1: was raised with. He came out of poverty and he 270 00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:44,040 Speaker 1: lived with this all things are possible mentality. Years before 271 00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:47,960 Speaker 1: my father passed away, Victoria would tell me that one 272 00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:50,679 Speaker 1: day I was going to past to the church, and 273 00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:53,560 Speaker 1: that seems so odd. I used to think, what is 274 00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:56,159 Speaker 1: she talking about. I can't get up in front of people. 275 00:17:56,520 --> 00:17:59,840 Speaker 1: But year after years she told me what I could become. 276 00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:02,719 Speaker 1: When my father went to be with the Lord, I 277 00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:06,280 Speaker 1: was able to step up. Why my seed had been 278 00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:10,760 Speaker 1: in good soil. My sister Lisa worked behind the scenes 279 00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:14,600 Speaker 1: seventeen years with me. She was the head of our 280 00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:18,600 Speaker 1: volunteers and she would assist my father during the services 281 00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:21,840 Speaker 1: and make sure that he had what he needed. The 282 00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:25,280 Speaker 1: Sunday after my father died, I was sitting in my 283 00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:28,920 Speaker 1: father's seat about to go up to minister. Lisa was 284 00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:32,480 Speaker 1: sitting behind me, where she always sat. She said that 285 00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:35,760 Speaker 1: God spoke to her down in her heart. He said, 286 00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:39,320 Speaker 1: just as you served your father, you are to now 287 00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:43,399 Speaker 1: serve your brother. For the last eighteen years, that's what 288 00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:48,320 Speaker 1: Lisa has done, She's helped me encourage me. She could 289 00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:52,000 Speaker 1: have been jealous God, I wanted to be promoted. I 290 00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:54,280 Speaker 1: don't want to serve him. I want him to serve me, 291 00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:59,840 Speaker 1: Thank you Jesus. Instead she celebrated me. What am I saying? 292 00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:04,000 Speaker 1: I didn't get here by myself. I got here because 293 00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:07,320 Speaker 1: I had good soil all around me, people that believed 294 00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:10,320 Speaker 1: in me, people that cheered me on, people that encouraged me. 295 00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:15,080 Speaker 1: Here's what I'm saying. Your soil is just as important 296 00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:19,040 Speaker 1: as your seed. You may have had just the opposite 297 00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:21,840 Speaker 1: people that didn't support you. Instead of telling you what 298 00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:24,119 Speaker 1: you could become, they told you what you couldn't do. 299 00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:27,480 Speaker 1: The good news is that doesn't have to stop you. 300 00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:30,720 Speaker 1: Your seed is still alive. If you will get it 301 00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:36,120 Speaker 1: in a different environment with can do, people with possibility thinking, 302 00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:40,240 Speaker 1: with friends that inspire you, then your seed will take 303 00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:43,800 Speaker 1: root and begin to blossom. You can still reach the 304 00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:48,360 Speaker 1: fullness of your destiny. This is what Elijah did. He 305 00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:52,000 Speaker 1: was out working in the fields, a farmer, no doubt, 306 00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:55,080 Speaker 1: from a limited background. Didn't look like he had much 307 00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:59,000 Speaker 1: of a future, but the prophet Elijah came by and 308 00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:03,399 Speaker 1: called out to him. Elisha saw something in Elijah that 309 00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:07,400 Speaker 1: he wanted. He saw the favor on his life, how 310 00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:12,080 Speaker 1: Elijah was doing great things. He connected with him. He thought, 311 00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:15,119 Speaker 1: that's good soil. That's where I need to keep my seed. 312 00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:21,080 Speaker 1: For years, Elisha served Elijah. He waited on him, would 313 00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:24,520 Speaker 1: bring him food, He wouldn't leave him. In fact, three 314 00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:28,359 Speaker 1: times Elijah tried to get Elisha to go do his 315 00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:32,239 Speaker 1: own thing, but he wouldn't do it. When Elijah was 316 00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:37,359 Speaker 1: taken to heaven, Elisha received a double portion of his anointing. 317 00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:41,600 Speaker 1: If Elisha would have stayed out in the fields, in 318 00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:44,960 Speaker 1: that limited environment, with the friends he grew up with, 319 00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:47,960 Speaker 1: he would have never seen the double He had to 320 00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:52,400 Speaker 1: get his seed in the right soil. You need people 321 00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:56,280 Speaker 1: in your life that are further along than you, people 322 00:20:56,280 --> 00:21:00,320 Speaker 1: that have a bigger vision, that are more successful, well 323 00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:04,400 Speaker 1: off in one sense, people that are out of your league. 324 00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:08,239 Speaker 1: You have to be exposed to new levels before you 325 00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:11,920 Speaker 1: can go to new levels. If you're the smartest one 326 00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:15,680 Speaker 1: in your group, your group is too small. If you're 327 00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:18,880 Speaker 1: the most successful, you need to get a larger circle. 328 00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:23,720 Speaker 1: Don't be intimidated by people that are further along. Be inspired, 329 00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:28,639 Speaker 1: find some good mentors, connect with dreamers. People that have 330 00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:33,479 Speaker 1: a bigger vision glean from them that's good soil. A 331 00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:37,240 Speaker 1: friend of mine feeds a million children a day. He 332 00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:42,080 Speaker 1: supports charities that help these underprivileged children. His goal is 333 00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:45,720 Speaker 1: to feed ten million a day. When I'm around him, 334 00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:49,840 Speaker 1: I'm inspired. It makes me dream bigger. I thank God 335 00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:51,800 Speaker 1: you did it for him. You can do it for me. 336 00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:56,960 Speaker 1: What is that my seed getting in good soil? Does 337 00:21:57,000 --> 00:22:01,320 Speaker 1: your vision increase around your friends or does it decrease? 338 00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:08,080 Speaker 1: Do you lead challenged? Motivated? Inspired? Are you discouraged? Negative? Drained? 339 00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:11,560 Speaker 1: And I'm not saying that every friend will inspire you, 340 00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:14,760 Speaker 1: but you should have one or two that light of 341 00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:18,760 Speaker 1: fire on the inside that push you forward. If you 342 00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:22,560 Speaker 1: only invest in people at your same level, you'll get 343 00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:27,119 Speaker 1: stuck there. Find a mentor somebody that's gone where you 344 00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:30,200 Speaker 1: want to go. Just as the wrong people will pull 345 00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:34,120 Speaker 1: you down, the right people will pull you up. In Acts, 346 00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:38,159 Speaker 1: Chapter three, a crippled man had been lying by the 347 00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:42,480 Speaker 1: temple gate for years asking for money. Peter came along 348 00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:45,000 Speaker 1: and said, I don't have any money, but in the 349 00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:49,560 Speaker 1: name of Jesus, rise and walk. Nothing happened. The man 350 00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:52,240 Speaker 1: looked at Peter like what do you mean rise and walk? 351 00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:55,199 Speaker 1: I'm crippled. I've been this way my whole life. I 352 00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:58,440 Speaker 1: can't walk. This could have been the end of the story. 353 00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:01,480 Speaker 1: Peter could have thought I did my part. It didn't work. 354 00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:04,640 Speaker 1: But the scripture says Peter took him by the right 355 00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:09,200 Speaker 1: hand and lifted him up. As he did, the man's 356 00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:13,760 Speaker 1: legs were instantly healed. Notice Peter wouldn't let the man 357 00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:17,479 Speaker 1: stay down. He didn't give him a choice. He prayed 358 00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:20,960 Speaker 1: for him and then pulled him up. You need some 359 00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:25,000 Speaker 1: friends like Peter that won't let you stay down when 360 00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:28,200 Speaker 1: you're in the pits, when you can't get up by yourself. 361 00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:30,840 Speaker 1: Not people that will get in the pit with you. 362 00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:35,280 Speaker 1: Let's tell sad stories together, let's feel sorry for ourselves. 363 00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:38,120 Speaker 1: No people that will pull you out of that pit. 364 00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:41,600 Speaker 1: People that love you so much. They won't let you 365 00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:45,240 Speaker 1: stay addicted. They won't let you stay depressed. They won't 366 00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:48,520 Speaker 1: let you miss your destiny. Not just people that pray, 367 00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:49,920 Speaker 1: but they pull you up. 368 00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:50,879 Speaker 2: Now. 369 00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:53,040 Speaker 1: I know that's why many come out here and many 370 00:23:53,080 --> 00:23:56,159 Speaker 1: of you listen, because you know we're always going to 371 00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:59,040 Speaker 1: lift you up. You may be down, but we're not 372 00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:02,280 Speaker 1: going to let you stay down. We're gonna tell you 373 00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:06,400 Speaker 1: get up. There are new levels. You've been hurt. Get up. 374 00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:10,280 Speaker 1: God has beauty for those ashes. You lost something, Get up. 375 00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:14,119 Speaker 1: God's about to restore you went through a disappointment. Get up. 376 00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:17,400 Speaker 1: A new beginning is coming. You're still single, Get up. 377 00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:20,959 Speaker 1: The right person's on the way. You're struggling in your finances, 378 00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:23,119 Speaker 1: Get up. God's going to open the windows of heaven. 379 00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:28,040 Speaker 1: You need people that will pull you into your destiny, 380 00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:32,200 Speaker 1: like this man. Sometimes you can't go to the next 381 00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:36,919 Speaker 1: level without somebody pulling you up. If you're crippled in 382 00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:40,760 Speaker 1: some area, so to speak, and you surround yourself with 383 00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:44,120 Speaker 1: people just like you, there's nobody to help you up. 384 00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:48,680 Speaker 1: You have to get around somebody stronger, somebody more successful, 385 00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:53,280 Speaker 1: somebody free, so they can lift you. Lame people can't 386 00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:57,399 Speaker 1: help lame people up. Addicted people can't help addicted people up. 387 00:24:57,920 --> 00:25:01,240 Speaker 1: Maybe you need to change who you're spending time with. 388 00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:06,560 Speaker 1: God has some peters waiting for you. He's ordained people 389 00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:09,879 Speaker 1: already to lift you up, people that are destined to 390 00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:13,520 Speaker 1: pull you up. Don't sit around in some kind of 391 00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:18,240 Speaker 1: dysfunction with other dysfunctional people. The rest of your life. 392 00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:22,600 Speaker 1: Your seed can't grow in that soil. Stay away from 393 00:25:22,640 --> 00:25:27,040 Speaker 1: people that are enabling to dysfunction. Get away from people 394 00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:29,800 Speaker 1: that tell you where you are is where you're always 395 00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:33,600 Speaker 1: going to be. Don't believe that lie. Your seed is 396 00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:37,280 Speaker 1: still alive. When it hits the good soil, You're going 397 00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:40,440 Speaker 1: to see things happen. You never dream what happen. You're 398 00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:43,879 Speaker 1: not going to stay addicted. Freedom is coming. You're not 399 00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:46,600 Speaker 1: going to struggle in your health, your whole life. Wholeness 400 00:25:46,720 --> 00:25:51,120 Speaker 1: is coming. That lack, not having enough is not your destiny. 401 00:25:51,359 --> 00:25:55,440 Speaker 1: In good soil, You're going to see abundance, overflow, more 402 00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:59,880 Speaker 1: than enough. Now do your part. Start pulling up the weeds, 403 00:26:00,920 --> 00:26:04,000 Speaker 1: get rid of those thorny friends, people that are pulling 404 00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:06,840 Speaker 1: you down. Be selective with what you will give your 405 00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:10,080 Speaker 1: attention to all day. If you will keep your seed 406 00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:14,960 Speaker 1: in good soil, I believe and declare you're about to blossom. 407 00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:17,720 Speaker 1: Peter is about to show up and pull you to 408 00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:23,480 Speaker 1: a new level.

Just say, Lord, Jesus, I 413 00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:44,600 Speaker 1: repent of my sins, Come into my heart. I make 414 00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:48,879 Speaker 1: you my Lord and savior.

Keep God first place. 417 00:26:57,680 --> 00:27:01,960 Speaker 2: Sometimes the stresses of life can feel you're just getting by. 418 00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:05,320 Speaker 2: God wants to bless us, But how do you move 419 00:27:05,359 --> 00:27:08,800 Speaker 2: from barely enough to just enough to more than enough. 420 00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:13,119 Speaker 1: We all face difficulties and people that are hard to 421 00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:16,439 Speaker 1: deal with.
